Disputes Statement Police Untrained November Dear Sir With reference to Mr It nomination speech as quoted in the Georgetown Her would like to rectify some erroneous remarks which he made The officers of the George town Police Department arc not untrained in fact only the two newest recruits have not attend ed Police College Six men have received specialist training in related fields and two have attended courses at Seneca Col lege Toronto Although some lack experience this can only be remedied by time spent on the job Whilst it may be that our present buildings and facih tics are not adequate the fault docs not lie with the Board of Commissioners of Police The Board doocs not have the Ihonty o purchase a building this is the prerogative of Town Council Although our equip ment may not compare with other larger centres the neg looted stale of the department prior to appointment of the Board will take time to rectify The high turnover is in part due to the higher wages that are offered by departments and the fact thai some of the men who parsed through the department were separated from the service While the members of the police Department welcome Sir interest in their wel fare It is unlikely that morale will improve until the people they are dedicated lo protcot begin program of encourage mem and cooperation with the members of he department Yours truly J President

a pitbl vote Surely the lessons learned from the Maple Avenue fiasco would lid that we need to good long look at exactly kind of lown we want to have Perhaps the following would be of interest into our hone on Maple Avenue just two years ago Tin- is one of older residential parts of town The trees individual character of the as well as the general atmosphere of the neighbourhood appealed to us very much Avenue was basically a two lane roid There was a fur bit of but the road and general attractiveness of I lie area kept the speeds reasonable Iciel This quiet town environ J emoted a good feeling of friendliness in the bomhood and everything seem Just fine We had been old by the when wc bought the I that Ibe road would be rcsur faced and widened slightly Well the second summer wc were here the demolition and six months of destruction they completely tnnsformed Ihe char and personality of pic Avenue into an express way or runway I in not sure which We now have a four lone road which more linn the speed of which the police have been con thus far Dunns the construction of road had many discus with the not only of Ascnuc itself but also from Hie areas to the new The peo ple were almost mously against the form the new mad was taking Small town anil plan arc trying their damnedest to create he kind of environ ment the rest of the world Is trying lo get away from They wont be satisfied it would ap pear until every square inch of grass has been paved over next step of course is to build skyscrapers lo ensure the sun rays never touch the ground Some of people should spend a week or two in New York or especially to sec how expressways and tall buildings can transform cities into desolate areas habitable by human beings There Is no doubt hat the amount and speed of traffic have Increased considerably It has been pretty well proven building wider and wider roads does not solsc traffic problem but rather increases it and creates other noise and problems not to mention the lo children There arc three schools on or right next to Maple Ascnuc in addition there is an increasing number of families with small children in the area If gel cither some lights or tighter policing which so far has been virtually existent I shudder lo think of what might happen Just to further complicate Avenue is a truck route I dont know of other town which directs truck through one of the old est and I might ad one of the fchest taxed residential areas When you see things like this its to imagine what rocs in some peoples heads Main as know crosses Maple Avenue and it into a dragstrip
