12 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, July 16, 1991 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" A road, by any name or spelling is still a road By Scott Anderson What's in a name? Apparently not a whole lot. At least not according to the Township of Scugog, judging by the spelling of some of the street names in the area. Is it Crandell? Is it Crandel? Isit Crandall? Orisit Crandle? Is it Macdonald Street or is it . MacDonald Street? Variations on these and oth- er names can be found in nu- merous spots around the area and there seems to be no sense of consistency. On street signs the spelling is Crandell. On some official let- terhead it is Crandel, while on mapsitis Crandle. Whichisit? The Port Perry Star asked Township Clerk Earl Cuddie what the correct spelling of some of these names are, and why there are so many varia- tions on the same theme. Mr. Cuddie explained that in the early days of street develop- ment, before formal registry procedures were introduced, many inconsistencies existed due to the different spellings submitted by the planners. As a result what had already been named was accepted. Each registry may contain a accessory store opened in Port Perry on July 2 and held its official ribbon cutting ceremony last Saturday afternoon. Mayor Howard Hall welcomed partners, Darlene Colton (left) and Janet Brazier to the business community and wished them well in their new venture.

He says the confusing spelling of street names "is not peculiar in Scugog." In fact, Mr. Cuddie says things were made somewhat more confusing with the imple- mentation of 9-1-1 and the re- naming of a number of the streets and concessions. But back to the problem at hand, Mr. Cuddie says over time the Township has adopted the spelling for the street as Crandel. This still doesn't answer one question. If Crandel was named after the early pioneer Reuben Crandell, why isn't it spelled that way as well? Thank you for your help Mr. Cuddie. Orisit Cuddy? Safer clothing to be issued to firefighters A new regulation sets more stringent safety clothing re- quirements for firefighters who battle interior structural fires. The regulation, announced recently by Labor Minister Bob Mackenzie, requires that all new protective clothing for those firefighters be of the im- proved bunker type. The bunker gear consists of a protective coat and trouser ensemble. This clothing will provide superior protection from injuries caused by heat and flame. The regulation comes under the Occupational Health and Safety Act and was developed with the assistance of the Pro- vincial Fire Service Advisory - Committee -- also created un- der the Act. This committee is composed of representatives of the Onta- rio Professional Firefighters' Association, the Provincial Federation of Ontario Fire- fighters, volunteer firefighters, the Fire Chiefs Association and the Association of Munici- palities of Ontario. "The health and safety of all firefighters in Ontario, both full-time and volunteers, is of utmost importance," said Jack Fenton, president of the Pro- fessional Firefighters Associa- tion. "Firefighters must rely on this personal protective equip- ment and their training and experience when dealing with the hazards associated with their work." Although many fire depart- ments are already equipped with the bunker-type clothing, the regulation sets a "realistic time frame", to allow all mu- nicipalities to replace the pro- tective clothing, which normal- ly lasts five years, explained Ken Beckett, member of the Fire Chiefs' Association. The new regulation applies to all clothing purchased on or after June 15, 1991. Fire de- partments have until Dec. 31, 1996 to equip their firefighters with the appropriate clothing: ~ for dealing with interior fires. Firefighters responding to a medical emergency or fighting fires outside of a building will not require the new clothing.
