A company has asked the Township of Schreiber for approval to locate a concrete plant at the municipality's old dump site, according to a letter read at the March 11 meeting of Schreiber Council. Permanent Concrete of Thunder Bay has been in contact with the local office of the Ministry of Natural Resources about the mat- ter, and the MNR doesn't see any problems with the request, Councillor Bob Krause explained. "'The company would be using the water from Crooked Creek and they would also be digging a pit there," he told Council. "'They are requesting a let- ter from us saying that they can locate in_ the township."' He added that the MNR would give the company a working permit. Gravel would arrive at the plant already crushed, and the operation would begin this spring. ""We would send the let- ter to the Ministry with a copy to Permanent Con- crete," clerk Aurel Gauthier said. "'I would like confirma- tion first that the Ministry has agreed to this," Reeve Mike Cosgrove said. Gauthier said the re- quest, if it is approved, would probably not create any full-time jobs within the community. In other council matters brought up at the meeting, a number of dog com- plaints were read and a few Councillors agreed that is time some sort of action was taken. "*Do you want to get in- formation on a dog pound?" Reeve Cosgrove said. "Or a dog catcher?" Councillor Ed Borutski replied that it might be a good idea to discuss such a possibility with Terrace Bay Council. 'There are a lot of places that have dog cat- chers who serve five or six municipalities, especially in Southern Ontario," Gauthier explained. "It's an advantage, to a certain extent."' "It would almost be a full-time job, between the two towns," Reeve Cosgrove pointed out. "'We do need some sort of control," agreed Coun- . cillor Tom Quinton, who suggested that the town reply to the complaints. A number of snow com- plaints registered with the township office have been referred to the Roads Com- mittee, which will identify the problem areas and establish a snow removal policy. Even though there is still snow on the ground, at least one Councillor was thinking about summer weeds. Councillor Quinton said the problem of weeds got out of hand last year and he expects it to be as worse if not more so this summer. "We should appoint a Weed Inspector to enforce the regulations," he suggested. '*Are you serious?"' Gauthier replied when Reeve Cosgrove asked him to draw up the motion. "We can laugh about it now, but it is serious,"' Quinton said. He added that he would even be the inspector himself. A mo- tion was then prepared and carried appointing Quinton as the Township's Weed Inspector for 1986. By-Law 86-2 which raises parking fines within the community up to $10 was read and passed later in the meeting. Council also passed a motion approving a con- tribution of $180 to the local detachment of the On- tario Provincial Police for its bicycle identification program. A letter from the OPP notified Council that the costs for the program will Operation ID now on "Operation Identifica- tion" has one practical ob- jective: to reduce the number of thefts in the Township of Terrace Bay by promoting the iden- tification of personal pro- perty. This identification program is a proven method of deterring poten- tial offenders, improving the chances of apprehen- sion through anti-fencing operations, facilitating the return of stolen property, and assisting in the iden- tification of property in court proceedings. The additional objective of "Operation Identifica- tion" is the enhancing of community well-being and fostering the concept of '*your Police and. the com- munity working together to prevent crime." Chief of Police Russ Phillips urges residents to visit the Police Station and enroll in 'Operation Iden- tification'. An _ electric engraver will be provided to residents to mark their property with their Social Insurance Number. No special skills are needed to operate the engraver as it handles like a pencil. The engraver makes permanent marks on hard or semi- hard materials. It produces smooth, clean lines that will not rub off, smear, tear away or erase. An information session will be held on "Operation Identification" in the near future for residents to at- tend and ask any questions they have concerning the program. Terrace Bay Police Force be 18 cents per ID sticker and that 1,000 will be needed. A similar program will be conducted by the Terrace Bay Police Force this year. The letter also asked Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, March 19, 1986, page 5 Concrete idea considered by Schreiber Counci Council for support of the detachment's VIP Program.
