Letters to the Editor Parents Warn of Danger Near Courtice Crosswalk Dear Editor: This letter is in response to the article article I read about an adult crossing guard for Dr. Emily Stowe Public School. In response to Mr. Wilt's letter about seeking legal action against Town of Clarington and Northumberland Northumberland Clarington Board of Education should anything happen to a child crossing in front of Dr. Emily Stowe Public School let it be known he is not the only parent who will do this. As a parent of a 5 year old attending attending that school, I am observing the crossguard situation everyday. Within Within the last month, I have had to run out on the road twice to clear not only my daughter but a little girl I don't even know of cars coming. My husband and I have discussed this and there is no way I would let my daughter take on the tremendous responsibility of being a crossguard in that location. Should anything ever happen it is too much of a burden for a child their age to have to live with. Why is it that Mother Teresa School gets an adult crossing guard, Glen Abbey gets barrels all over to slow traffic down and we get nothing? nothing? Arc the residents over there paying paying the same taxes as us? If so, we should get a discount since we do not receive the same services to ensure our children's safety to school. When the adult crossguard was at Dr. Emily Stowe she told me that there should definitely be an adult because because of the heavy traffic. Eventually she was taken from us because the Town decided we did not need her. Since that day, it has been every parent's parent's nightmare. There is nothing worse than seeing your child almost hit by a car. What possible reason docs the Town of Clarington have that is more important than ensuring our children's safety. Sincerely, Sandra Kolodzinski. <5 fir. ï \ T ■ Mrs. Marie Pedwell (right) was the lucky winner of a one- ounce wafer of gold bullion, with an estimated value of $500, through entering the recent recent Bowmanville Business Improvement Area's Pot of Gold Contest.

Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, March 23,1994 17 ■More Support for Crossing Guard At Courtice School Dear Editor: I am writing you to thank you for ; your show of interest to the problems which are occurring at the crosswalk ' at Dr. Emily Stowe Public School on Sandringham Drive. My only hope is that something ; will be done to alleviate this problem, • and that it does not take an injury to any children in order for the Claring- . ton/Northumberland Board of Education Education _or the Council at the Town of ! Clarington to act. It is my under- ; standing, it has been passed by Coun- , cil to Public Works. I hope this con- ; cem I have is not buried by Council " or the Department of Public Works. Yours truly, Terry Wilt ■ Ontario Hydro ; Won't Accept Cash Payments Dear Editor: ;; Today I'm writing this letter in ;; hopes that other people that pay bills ii by cash will write or complain to On- ;; tario Hydro. On March 4,1994 we went to pay ;; our hydro account at the Bowman- ■ ville Office where we were informed, !. that they no longer accepted cash, ■;only cheques or money orders. I find this practise offensive and " downright obnoxious. Also, it adds extra expense and inconvenience to "the customer. What is this country coming to " when Canadian currency is no longer ■"accepted? !. I feel, that if Ontario Hydro is go- ji ing to close offices and refuse Cana- ii.dian Funds, then at least it should "have the decency to accept payment •• at. a local Bank or Trust Company " with no service charge to the customizer. customizer. ;!• People arc paying more and more ".but deceiving less all the time.
