16 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, October 16,1991 Courtice Residents Faced with Dilemma of Trull's versus Trulls by Peter T. Sum A road sign at the northern end of a green block north of Highway 2 in Courtice identifies identifies the throughfare it faces as Trulls Rd. Another road sign at the southern end of the same block says the street is Trull's - - with apostrophe -Rd. A community newspaper did the same thing last week. The paper identified the street in the headline of one story it ran as Trulls -- without apostrophe -- Rd. However, in another story it carried elsewhere elsewhere in the same edition it was Trull's - with apostrophe - Rd. Along the six-and-onc-half- kilomctrc stretch of the north- south thoroughfare that bisects Courtice geographically eight other road signs are evident. Six of them say Trulls - without without apostrophe - Rd and two -- both of them are south of Highway Highway 2 at Sandringham Dr. and Yorkvillc Dr respectively - say Trull's - with apostrophe - - Rd. A sign in from of a church also identifies the road it faces as Trull's -- with apostrophe. "I've seen some even without without 's,"' Bob Russell of the planning and development department department of the Town of Newcastle Newcastle said when told of the two versions of the road's name. This sounds like Trivial Pursuit. But is it Trulls -- without without apostrophe - or Trull's - with apostrophe - Road? Mr. Russell consulted his Municipal Street Address Index Index and came away with this remark: "It's Trull's, without apostrophe. apostrophe. It's Trulls Road. This is official." Mr. Russell's department department compiled the Index in 1990. The two versions of the Road's name are obviously an honest mistake which indeed arc difficult to avoid. Another honest mistake -- albeit in a different vein -- took place last week in south Cour- ticc. A retired senior citizen, who emigrated from Toronto 18 months ago, was talking on the telephone with his wife who works in the big city.
