He addedthat it would result in better land use in that residential lots could be smaller when they had municipal services available. Businessfnan• Ron Wareing said he was being a little selfish in wanting the community to grow, but asked if the township residents would find it as pleasant to live on the out- skirts of •Hensall if there weren't stores, the arena and school to serve them. He said an increase in population would result in more services being available such as a resident doctor, dentist and perhaps even a pharalacy. He said there just wasn't enough population now to attract those services. "That's absolutely correct," Dzus said. "Ser- vices are based on population." "You need additional people to keep the village going," commented Hay Reeve Jack Tinney, noting that 4 all the people who worked in Hensall lived there , there would be a big population. It would double," in- terjected Hensall Councillor Klaus VanWieren. Dzus said the expansion would possibly provide more job opportunities for young people. reporting that Hensall w•as "largely an aging population" with fewer and fewer young people. Tinney said he could un- derstand the concern of the township residents, and noted that while he had never opposed annexation, he was concerned for teem; "I feel concerned t o," Knight commented. He said the people thought they were going to enjoy country living when they built in the area, but he. said he always felt that some day they would require village services. Knight predicted the township residents would have lower hydro rates under the village domain, while Bedard predicted their property values would in- crease if they were annexed. Township residents weren't the only ones to voice their concern. Charles Hay presented a petition from 20 residents on York Crescent in which they outlined their feats that their street would become a busy thoroughfare as it would be used as an accessto the new residential area to the south. It was predicted this would endanger the children on the street and would reduce property values: - Knight said the suggestion in the petition was hypothetical and had nothing to do with the purpose of the meeting. He said the con: cerns of the residents in the subdivision should be con- sidered when planning commences for the land use Only one letter of objection was read at the meeting, it from Campbell and Grace Eyre who were unable to attend. They said that had they wished to live in Hensall they would have bought there rather than in the township. The pair suggested the village !tad nothing to offer them except higher taxes and said there was no reason the present houses on -High- way 4 couldn't be left in Hay. Where are the police? Continued from page 3 Measurements are taken at the scene. We hear squealing tires from afar off, but can't be in two places at one time. Having• determined the car's owner from CPIC, we get back on the beat in about 30 minutes and move downtown, then up to the rec centre for another check there. A car zips past as'we get back to Main at the fire hall. Kevin pulls out and pursues. "Slow down," he says to the driver ahead, but of course it's a warning that is not heard The speed continues until we get over the bridge and the car pulls into the Les Pines and we're right behind. The driver gets out and tin is there to greet,* him' It's not a happy greeting. Kevin asks for the driver's licence and the man complies by throwing his wallet on top 6f the car. Kevin asks him to dig out the identification he requested. He gets that and asks for the ownership and. insurance. Again the wallet is thrown on top of the car. I note it's 2.30. Kevin advises the man he's under arrest for im- paired driving. A bitter scene follows. The youth pleads to be let off. But it is now too late. He won't come into the cruiser and -Kevin digs out his handcuffs. The man argues and takes off his shoes (for a weapon?). Finally. the officer wins the verbal battle and the arrest is made with out the cuffs. Threats come from the back seat for the officer's per- sonal safety. We drive north and spot OPP Constable Jim Rogers and Kevin aska •him to get "the machine" warmed up. We pull into the OPP office and proceedings start for a breathalyzer test It's an exacting business on an exacting instrument. Many tests have to be made regarding temperatures, various readings and then it's ready. The time is 3.00 a.m. The accused blows. He's well over the limit. He's given some physical tests and asked some questions and then is required to blow again. The two officers set about the demanding task' of filling in the myriad of forms. The accused is cooperative at times, beligerent at others. The accuse0 is taken back to the hotel and Kevin takes the car keys to the office. More forms to fill in. The charge took two police of- ficers almost two hours each to c-omplete and they still have a court brief to prepare. Most of what was done was for the benefit of the accused. He's given every protection in the test. Kevin then drives back to the Canners. The hit and run vehicle is still there. He calls a tow' truck to have the vehicle impounded. Heil seek out the driver when he comes on duty next day. There's no emergency. We get a coffee while awaiting the tow truck and the waitress asks if we'd like some breakfast. We say no...but recognize then it's been a long night. Kevin is heading back to the office to make tome more reports and notes. He' drops the editor off at his abode. It's 5.00 a.m. We light up one last cigarette before hitting the sheets. - Sleep comes quickly...knowing there is a policerhan out there if we do need one, but realizing more than ever he can only be al one place at a• time. As the meeting concluded, it was announced that the two councils would meet with any residents who file their objections in writing within the next two weeks. Dzus said both municipalities were in- terested in -resolving any individual concerns "and hopefully we can find an- swers that are satisfactory." It was noted that if there are no formal objections to the Ontario Municipal Board when the _application for annexation is presented, it could be passed within three months. However, Dzus said, .•it sometimes takes years' when there are objections. IJRIVE CAHEEV[[Y Titnas•Advocate, August 15, 1979 Pap. -S., t r H.O. JERRY LTD.
