The Goderich Signal-Star, 1979-10-18, Page 9ti WelL BY JOANNE BUCHANAN Wellimeaning parents are posing a danger to their children, according to Goderich Police Chief Pat King and Sergeant Gerry Hilgendorff. On cotd, rainy or snowy clays, many parents drive to the local elementary schools to pick up their children so they won't get wet or catch cold. However, these parents often stop on the Opposite side of the road from the school and sit in their cars waiting for their children to run across that road to them in front of traffid. The same holds eanin _ parents pose d true when these parents drop their children off at the schools. They stop across from the schools and let their children Out, usually on the drivers' side, expecting them to run across the road in front of traffic again. At Robertson Memorial Public School, some parents even block in- tersections when picking up or 'dropping off their children, says Sergeant Hilgendorf. Chief King and Sergeant Hilgendorf recommend that when giving children rides back and forth to school, parents should park their cars and escort their children. across the road; park on the same side as the school so the children don't have to cross the road at all; or let the children out on the passengers' side of the car, warn them to look 'both ways and then drive away so other motorists' view of them will not be blocked. Chief King says the Traffic Committee will soon be looking into the whole problem of traffic flow around the schools. While parents with good intentions are trying to prevent their children from getting wet and cold, they may also be presenting them with the opportunity to get seriously injured by a car, he says. OTHER POLICE NEWS The Goderich police Force had a slow. week in comparison with last week and were able to clear up several crimes. An area man was arrested and charged for a- break-in at the Fina station on Bayfield Road and the theft of a Corvette from that station. A local person was arrested and charged for the theft of a Stewart Aluminum truck from 207 Huron Road. The truck was recovered on County Road 31. Two local men were charged with mischief for opening up two fire hydrants last week. In the past couple of weeks, several fire hydrants have been turned on but Chief King points out that the two men charged are mot necessarily responsible for all of them. Two- juveniles, who were in town recently from London, were checked out by a Goderich police officer and admitted tostealing a car in London. The car was later recovered at St. Joseph's.

This resulted in a high speed chase north on Highway 21. Using the new police com- munications system, the O.P.P. were contacted and set .up a road block at Nile. The speeding vehicle got around the road block and was later stopped by O.P.P. in Dungannon. The driver, a man from New Brun- swick, was charged with several traffic offences. At this time of year, the police receive many reports of stolen bicycles. Chief King says the bicycles are usually stolen for transportation reasons and recovered within a few days. There are still several un- claimed bicycles at the police station. The Goderich police are stepping up their patrols because of the approaching date of Hallowe'en. Chief King says pranks that break the law (and most pranks do), will not be allowed. Charges of assault can be laid against persons throwing eggs at other persons and charges of wilful damage can be laid against persons throwing ggs at houses and other bjects. Soaping windows an also get some people n trouble, says the Chief. Plans for constructing wo new concrete block ells in the Goderich Police Station will soon be underway, subject to, approval from the building committee and town council.
