Lucan OPP
Sgt.
says
speeding not
a problem
LUCAN - While making his an-
nual visit to Lucan council last
Tuesday night, Ontario Provincial
Police Staff Sergeant Bob Erskine
said community policing is going
very well in many parts of the prov-
ince.
Erskine said small offices in Ail-
sa Craig and in London township at
Arva are "bearing fruit". He added,
"Along with Neighbourhood Watch
programs in these communities and
an officer close at hand most of the
time it's paying off. We have a lot
more sets of eyes and ears to tell us
what is going on".
The officer continued, "It seems
to be easier for people to wander
into a small office and talk to one
officer than into a larger detach-
ment".
Erskine doesn't expect another
small office in Lucan at this time,
but it certainly could happen in the
future. He added, "Our superiors
are looking at better ways of man-
agement of personnel more effi-
ciently and community policing
could be the way".
His visit to council was to keep
lines of communication open and
4:lfear concerns or issues.
The OPP head said things were
vselatively quiet in Lucan aside from
Baa few minor car breakins before
Christmas. Some expected large
parties didn't materialize last sum-
mer and this could be attributed to
the weather and warnings from po-
lice.
When told a village resident sent
in a request for a reduction in speed
limit on Main street saying pedes-
trians were in danger, Erskine said,
"It's not needed. There is very little
_speeding through the village. We
-.hear complaints about trucks speed-
ing, but when we check we find it's
7tot true. The size and noise from
:the vehicles is misleading".
Erskine continued, "I have been
&ere for eight years and there hasn't
ween a pedestrian accident during
*that .time. There was one fatality,
but it was weather and not speed re-
lated".
He .also said the pedestrian light
near the post office is not being
used by pedestrians as it was in -
_tended .

Bell Thorsen*
bear Sir.
1 am writing in response to the
Proposed Bell Canada rate increas-
es.
in the past I have defended Bell
Canada against all and sundry
when in conversation with Bell
bashers. To my mind, Bell Canada
provides one of the finest if not
THE finest telephone system in
the world. This includes quality of
equipment and service and also
reasonable cost.
To provide this quality of ser-
vice, Bell has spent millions of
dollars on the local and province -
wide network with all the interfac-
es to the outside world that we
~now enjoy. But what happens?
Along comes another company (or
companies?) to grab part of the
long distance market (in true
ISO
American style), -without
having any re-
sponsibility for
the nitty gritty
local service. 1
can accept the Bell
view that the long
distance seryice
subsidizes the local service and
long distance competition raises
problems. Even though 1 believe
Bell made a profit of $900 M last
year!
My hangup is the plight of people
in small towns like my own, Exet-
er. We, people of modest incomes,
are subsidizing higher paid people
in the big cities. Under the pro-
posed new Community Calling
Plan, the local call distance is a ra-
dius of approximately 35 miles
from the centres of the CCP areas
•
P
and people in the Ottawa area will
have access to something like sev-
en hundred thousand telephones,
Fax machines, etc. Toronto sub-
scribers will have access to well
over one million while at the same
time, Exeter has a local call range
of ten miles and access to about
three thousand other Subscribers.
This is not reflected in our line
costs.
By all means grant Bell their rate
increase, but what about increasing
our local call rang also to 35
miles. We would stilfonly have ac-
cess to one third those of Ottawa
and one fifth those of Toronto. Ei-
ther that, or there should be a rate
reduction for people in our predica-
ment.
Yours sincerely
John R. Sanderson, Exeter
Letter to Edit°
heading between the lines
Dear Editor:
With regard to the town coun-
cil's recent decision to implement
their so-called "waste reduction -
plan", let's take a closer look at
this. Mayor Bruce Shaw and gang
would have us believe that the_
goal of this is to reduce waste, pro-
long the life of our dump and to
raise funds to secure a new dump.
We all will no doubt, save money.
Lala, why don't they just come
,clears andiell us the truth? Fact is,
phis 911.conceived plan will cost
.till, ad 'or below middle income
anges,,more money. Council says
ahat'they-will3educe the mill rate
that -is.R1y being spent on
sanitation. Well, I have read be-
tween the lines.
If a house is assessed at, say
$160,000 it will save $300 a year
in taxes. Then, ifthey put out two
bags a week.at curbside, they will
pay -5208. Wiley save $92 a year.
Nice little deal. However, a house
.allso assessed at say $80,000
would save S150 a year in taxes.
The same two
bags would then
111
cost $208 - an
increase of $58 a
year. -So, the higher
the assessment, the
greater the savings.
How many of our town officials
live in houses assessed at $100,000
or less? Let's not forget those who
rent, council hung them out to dry!
Also, the lower the assessment,
usually means a lower household
income, which means a lower 'dis-
posable" income, which in .tum
means less garbage to get rid of in
the first place. Why does council
insist on shifting the tax burden lo
the middle to low income families?
What is next, people who don't -at-
tend or have people in their house-
hold in attendance at school, should
then be exempt from education tax-
es? Folks who don't drive cars
should also not pay to maintain the
roads. How about installing meters
on all toilets in town? Let's say 500
a pull.
Well, okay the. "waste reduction"
idea is a good one, the payment
method is what stinks. And yes, I
do have a better idea. Firstly, let's
not change the mill rate, this way
council will have to really justify.a
tax hike come budget time. Sec-
ondly, let's give all households one
tag a week for free. Then, charge _
$3 a tag for any additional tags.
This will surely be a more sound
incentive to reduce. This makes
good sense and ensures fairness.
Also, it should generate some mon-
ey, if used properly, to secure a
new site for all of our futures. If
you agree with anything I have
mentioned, let your council know
how you feel, after all it is our
town, our money. We put the peo-
ple on council there to look after
our town's best interests, not just
some of our interests, all- collec-
tively. It is up to all of us to ensure
that Exeter remains a great place to
live, now and in the future.
