But the world is far from perfect and the need for law enforcement and protection to people and prop- erty is always required. Last Wednesday night, over 30 Lambton OPP community policing co-ordinator Sgt. Gord Perry encourages Grand Bend residence to start a community polic- ing committee. oft` Township of Usborne il Notice Usborne Township Council requests the co-operation of the ratepayers regarding the parking of cars and other vehicles on township roads during the period in which snow clearing oper- ation is necessary. The township will not be held responsible for any damage done to these vehicles. Also the residents are asked to co- operate by not pushing or dumping snow or ice out of private driveways onto public roads,or road allowance as this practice could lead to an accident, in the event of which ratepayer con- cerned could be held liable.

Auctlon.er: Bob Heywood 2960874 4 Grand Bend and area residents lis- tened as OPP Sgt. Gord Perry, along with Constable Bernie Zga- vac, encouraged them to set up a Community Policing program. "It's (community polic;ng) the partnership between people and po- lice to enhance the quality of life," said Perry, the Lambton County Community Policing Co-ordinator. "It's not a governing body, it's a committee," he added. Perry said the committee would have to decide what it wants for Grand Bend. He used as an ex- ample, Corunna which realized their local OPP officers needed some new equipment so they went out and helped provide funding. What a community policing com- mittee would do, is help the local OPP detachment identify certain problem areas in Grand Bcnd and the surrounding arca. "We're open to any ideas that will help your community," said Perry. "In Grand Bend there is some con- cern about young people." As far as young people arc con- cerned, there has been some pre- liminary discussion about setting up a youth centre. Local resident Bob Sharen has been behind the idea for quite some time now. Perry said that why officers can arrest young offenders and take them through the court system, the problems remain. That is what the community policing is there for, to help identify the problems and hopefully eliminate them. "In sonic high schools, they have community policing right in the school," said Perry. He said at one school on Man- itoulin Island, an officer locks his gun in his car, goes into the school and spends three -to -five days a week with the students. Former Grand Bcnd reeve Harold Green questioned Perry to just what local residents could do. Perry re- plied that the committee would not act as a lobbying group but more of an information spreader. "It's more passive; it's in- formation sourcing," said Grand Bend mayor Cam Ivey. If community policing is set up, Grand Bend would have as many as four officers, one of them being' Zgavc, who would be designated to work as "go betweens" with the community. "They'll be able to give us feed- back to what works and what doesn't," said Ivey. "Community policing is pre- ventive medicine in a different way," said Sharen. "The idea is to put Gord and Bernie out of a job but that would never happen." Marian Siren, president of the Grand Bcnd Ratepayers Associa- tion said two years ago there was an attempt in the community to strut up a Neighbourhood Watch program. "The big difficulty was the nature of our community in that there arc few people here in the winter," said Siren. During the meeting, Pcrry en- couraged all those who attended to spread the word about community policing. "You folks are all ambassadors of the community policing. Go out and tell your neighbours." Following the meeting it was de- cided to establish a Community Po- licing Program of which Sharen will be the chairman. Zurich warned of significant sewage rate increase ZURICH - Will Zurich residents be facing a large increase in their utility costs next year? Reeve Dwayne Laporte hopes not, but a meeting has been sched- uled with Ontario Clean Water Agency officials Thursday to dis- cuss "significant increases" for the village sewage rates. "Significant increases?" asked La- porte. "That's the word he used," replied acting clerk Sharon Baker. "I don't like that word," noted La- porte. Presently, the village is paying $3,611 a month for sewage pump- ing charges to OCWA, and any in- creases would have to passed onto the ratepayer through the sewage surcharge on their utility bills. Baker said at Thursday's meeting. council representatives will want to know how much the increase will be, and why it is required.
