Durham Regional Police to begin bicycle patrol Durham Police will be hitting the streets this summer, in a slightly different way. On two wheels. Durham Regional Police un- veiled plans for its new uniform bicycle patrol which officially hit the streets on June 16. The two units, which are equipped with heavy duty mountain bikes, will work day and afternoon shifts. According to Sandy Ryrie, media relations officer, these units will patrol areas where ac- cessibility by motorized vehi- cles is not possible. These areas include greenbelts and park- land. They will also be used where "quick and silent patrol is required." The units will also assist the regular patrols in the down- town areas and will concentrate on problem areas through com- plaint, high crime statistics and calls for service. Sgt. Ryrie says the implemen- tation of the bicycle unit was a chance to make police officers more visible in the community. "Community-based policing will be the goal with emphasis on high visibility," he said. Sgt."Ryrie said this unit will be a very low cost operation as well. The only real costs are for the two bicycles. Although the unit will initial- ly concentrate on the Oshawa area, Sgt. Ryrie says there is a possibility that it will expand the area of coverage in the fu- ture. On Thursday, May 21, 1992, God very gently took her hand and led her to a place where she remains forever an angel in His realm. A place where pain and suffering and the cares and wor- ries of this world are but a mem- ory. Mildred Alice Rodd (nee Stone) was the youngest child born to Milton and Myrtie Stone (nee Short) on June 2, 1926 in Seagrave, Ontario. Her parents and eldest sister Mrs. Ruth Strong predeceased her. She is survived by her other sis- ter Mrs. Alexa McMillan of Port Perry. The late Mrs. Rodd at- tended school in Seagrave and later high school in Port Perry. Following high school she at- tended the Marcelle School of ~ Hairdressing in Toronto. On Nov. 23, 1946 Mildred be- came the wife of Kenneth Rodd of Greenbank at a wedding cere- mony held at the bride's par- ents home in Seagrave. Follow- ing their marriage they purchased a home in Green- bank where they resided for the next 28 years before moving to their present home just west of Port Perry. They were both ac- tively involved in their church and community. The late Mrs. Rodd belonged to the U.C.W. and the Womens' Institute as well as having been a Sunday School teacher and leader of an Explorer group. She was also a representative for Avon cosmet- ics for a number of years. Her greatest enjoyment in life was firstly her family and later her grandchildren. The talents she possessed were many and varied. She was well known for her expertise as a seamstress and dress design- er, as well she had an unbeliev- able ability to master any new craft. During her retirement years she was especially proud of the porcelain dolls she made and the making and designing of wardrobe creations for them. She also possessed a remark- able green thumb and was ad- mired for the beautiful roses, iris and gladioli that were a rainbow of color in their yard and provided an array of beauty to everyone who passed by. Mildred's other love was va- cationing at their apartment in Daytona Beach, Florida. Even though her health was waning, she enjoyed the last few months of her life where she loved best - beside the ocean, palm trees and hibiscus. When she returned from Florida she was immediately hospitalized and spent the next five weeks in a Toronto hospital before being transferred to the Community Memorial Hospital in Port Perry where she quietly passed away two days later. Left to mourn the loss of a de- voted wife and best friend is her husband Kenneth Rodd of Port Perry. Her three children Marilyn Beacock and Ken White, Shir- ley Foster and her husband John all of Port Perry and her son Keith and wife Donna of Uxbridge are left with a legacy of wonderful memories of a lov- ing mother. She was also prede- ceased by a stillborn son. Dearly loved grandmother of Lee, Blair, and Craig Beacock, Annette and Scott Foster and Jacqueline, Daryl and Bryon Rodd as well as many nieces and nephews. Beloved friend of Willa Holt- by, Ruby Smith, Emily Badour of Port Perry who were so com- forting to her during her illness also friend of Don Beacock of Seagrave. The service was held at the Low and Low Scugog Chapel in Port Perry with the comforting kindness of Rev. Robt. Le Page. The committal took place at Bethel Cemetery in Green- bank. Following the interment service the family received guests at the Greenbank Unit- ed Church where everyone en- joyed a lovely lunch graciously prepared by the Greenbank U.C.W. ladies. The family will forever be in- debted to all the wonderful friends and family members who offered us loving support at a time when we needed it most. The overwhelming trib- utes of flowers, donations, cards and food were sincerely appreciated and of special men- tion was the outstanding com- fort and care she received from the nursing staff at C.M.H., Port Perry and the compassion of Dr. Obedkoff and Rev. Le- Page. Thank you God for the life of Mildred and for the many ways it touched and enriched our [ lives. { /
