EWAG NEWS Rockwoods OPP station officially opens Sept. 5 By Maggie Petrushevsky Rockwood will get its own police station as of Sept. 5 with OPP Sgt. Joe Piccione designated as the man in charge. A Scarborough native, Piccione spent 10 years with Peel Regional Police before moving to the OPP 17 years ago. He has been with the Wellington detachment since September 1998. We want to be very com- munity-based, he said. We want to reach out to the com- munity and make them part of everything we do and it will be much easier when were actually here. He predicts it will make a huge difference to residents to actually have a station in the village. While OPP al- ways dedicated an officer to OPP Sgt. Joe Piccione each zone for each shift, now it wont just be an officer in the area for the shift. Hav- ing an office in the village means having everything right there, including hav- ing more vehicles around. Foot patrols will be done much more regularly rather than hit and miss the way it used to be when they could free up someone to do it. While there has not been any great issues in the com- munity about the need for greater police presence, there are the odd cases of vandalism usually dealing with kids, the occasional domestic or fight, and rare break-ins. Its more of a bedroom community with no major industry, he said. Theres a lot of traffic passing through from Guelph to (Toronto) and we have some issues with that. A single father with two grown daughters, Piccione fosters puppies for Dog Guides of Canada. He is currently working with his fifth puppy, a nine-month- old Black Lab named Ouzo. Since the pups need social- izing to prepare them for their role as working dogs, Piccione takes his dog ev- erywhere and is even joking about seeking permission to bring him to the office. The official opening of Rockwoods new police sta- tion will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 9.

Morin exhibition at the library Internationally recognized Rockwood artist Paul Mo- rin has some of his recent paintings on display at the Rockwood library until the end of August.

Motorists must take responsibility Wellington O.P.P. is re- minding motorists about their responsibility of reg- istering motor vehicles they own. The police often receive complaints from citizens that they are receiving parking tickets or 407 toll charges for vehicles that they no longer own, and they dont know how to stop it. When you purchase or lease a motor vehicle, the plates that are assigned to the motor vehicle belong to you. If you sell, trade in, scrap or abandon the motor vehicle, it is your responsibility to remove the plates from it and store them in a safe place so that you have control over them, says Wellington OPP media relations officer Keith Robb.
