The Wingham Advance-Times, 1988-06-28, Page 17Counci asked to
bylaw to control
Turnberry council has been aske
to consider passing a bylaw, whic
would control unlicensed parties
such as the one held June 11 on th
Turnberry-Culross boundary.
Corporal Greg King ofo th
Wingharn detachment of the Ontario
Provincial Police attended the
second monthly meeting of counci
with a copy of such a bylaw for
council's consideration.
The matter stems from the party
held earlier this month at the Adam
Kennedy property in the township.
Between 500 and 600 people attended
the party, which resulted in property
damage when one car was rolled
over and another accidentally
caught fire. The area also was
littered with broken glass, according
to Cpl. King.
"These 'pit parties' seem to be the
coming thing,” said Cpl. King, "and
we (the OPP) read it as bad
trouble."
Although the party was advertised
through posters, he said the police
were not prepared for it. A total of 20
policemen were assigned at various
times to duty at the party, he added.
Another costly item is the fire call,
for which the township will be billed
$500 per hour. When a.. member of
council made a comment abOut the
firefighters- receiVing a less -than -

Cpl. King said, "We Were therewith "
them and it was no fun."
The OPP laid 22 liquor charges
and four unpaired -driving charges,
"I don't think thelandoWner had a
whole lot to do with it (the party),"
said the corporal, but he added that
it was locally organized as a profit-
making venture. He said he gathers
that the gates were closed at some
point, but people just kept arriving
e
1
and soon it"got out Of hand".
While council members appeared
eager to help the police in any Way ,
they could, the township does_ not
have a bylaw -enforcement Offirsr,.:-
and the OPP are able toenloi'ceonly
provincial and federalstatutes.
Reeve Brian McBurney also said
he is concerned about the township
being held liable if such a bylaw
were in place and Councillor Mery
•:Piker said he fears such a bylaw
:could limit the size of legitimate
egatherings, such as wedding
receptions.
Deputy Reeve Doug Fortune
sked if it would be possible to hire
the OPP toenforcetownship bylaws.
Cpl. King said he would -check into it
and report back to another meeting
of council. Ne.further action was
taken on the prop'osedbylaw.
