WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1997 THE GEORGETOWN GEMINI 5 BOWLING FOR TURF: Members of th e Georgetown District Seniors' Centre were Carpet Bowling (Bocci Ball on Astroturf) at the Centre, Friday. (Jamie Harrison photo) BY JAMIE HARRISON The Georgetown Gemini The height of the new traffic lights at Hwy. 7 and Trafal- gar Road is "too high" ac- cording to a community con- sultation committee member. John Owen said he fears he may have accidentally run the westbound light recently, saying that it was too high for him to see properly, and sug- gested that the lights in the westbound lane should be lowered to reflect the incline of the hill. Village Constable Dennis Dimitroff said that as far as he knew, there had been no accidents at that intersection since the lights had been in- stalled, and that much of the confusion is coming from longtime residents who are accustomed to that intersec- tion not having any traffic lights. Const. Brad Cook said the difference at that new set of lights is the potential for more severe accidents with a speed limit of 80 km/hr. on that stretch of Hwy. 7, as opposed to new lights installed in largely residential sections of town. February's Community Consultation Committee meeting saw the clearance rate by Halton Regional Po- lice maintain at about 50 per cent of crimes reported or investigated. PC Cook read the statis- tics of the committee: of the three sexual assaults reported, two have been cleared; of assaults, 15 were reported, with 15 cleared; all five re- ported domestic assaults were cleared. January saw no re- ported robberies; ten break and enters, with seven of those cleared; five auto thefts with none cleared; fraud charges went four-for-four; only one offensive weapon call was made, and that was cleared. Of the 19 property damage reports, three were cleared. Committee members also requested that a member of the Halton Victim's Service Board attend a future meet- ing)to discuss the work the members do in comforting andassisting victims of crime. "It is probably one of the best unsung organizations that work with the police. They do a super job," said Doug Magwood. Committee chair Mary Giordano also suggested that the CCC membership might be interested in taking a tour of Regional Headquarters in Oakville, to learn about the behind-the-scenes adminis- tration and training areas for Trafalgar light 'too high' - CCC member Halton police personnel. A meeting is planned for March 24 at 7 pm, in the Community Room of 11 Di- vision for an information night of the Parental Support Group. This initiative started in Acton under the sponsorship of PC Katherine Pulford as part of the Acton Youth Project. "Recently we've notice that a gang-mentality is start- ing to develop in youth," PC Dimitroff said of the deci- sion to introduce the project to Georgetown after success in Acton. The CCC will have a dis- play at the Georgetown Mar- ketplace for the Healthy Halton Hills Open House, March 1. ANDREW MURRAY MOTORS LTD.
