The towns 1980 plow has now been converted to a sander. Town Engineer Doug Baker said the new truck will have a dual pur- pose - plowing and hauling.

Many of the businesses of Schreiber pitched in and donated gifts or money to the proud couple. Schreiber resident circulates petition for Block Parents By Dave Chmara A petition is being circulated at a number of businesses in Schreiber in an effort to raise enough support to start a Block Parents Program in the town. Maureen Baird is hoping that with enough signatures, the Schreiber O.P.P. will lend their support to the program, which is required to get the Block Parent Program off the ground. Baird had contacted the Schreiber O.P.P. and she said, "they felt there is not enough interest in town or the need for a Block Parents Association." Petitions were put in Schreiber stores Monday, March 6 and will remain in place until Saturday, March 18. In addition, several people are taking the petition door to door to raise support for the program. Only a few days after the peti- tion was placed in stores, Baird said a considerable amount of names had been signed to the petition. The petition reads, "It is the understanding of the Ontario Provincial Police, Schreiber Detachment, that there 'has NOT BEEN' enough interest shown by the Town residents towards form- ing a 'BLOCK PARENT ASSO- CIATION' here in our communi- ty. Without police support it is not possible to form the Association. To show your support and interest in forming a Block Parent Association please sign your name, street address and tele- phone number below." Baird said the police must give their support to the forming of a Block Parent Association before the starter kit can be sent to the Association, Avco financial services has already said they will provide a $25 donation needed for the starter kit, said Baird. The Block Parent Program is a crime prevention program which provides the community with an organized method of protecting its children. The program requires total community involvement which . includes police department, municipal government, boards of education and concerned citizens of the community. It is endorsed Schreiber council By Dave Chmara During Schreiber town coun- cil's last meeting, Cos Filane applied to have council change some property he owns on Highway 17 from the current zoning of highway/commercial to residential. Filane wanted the rezoning in order to build a 10 unit apartment building. After considerable debating between council and Filane, council said the rezoning would be contrary to Schreiber's Official Plan and said it was not about to change the plan. In light of council's decision, Filane wanted to know what resi- dential property the town owns which could be rezoned to allow the apartmcnt construction. Following further discussion, council said they had no problem with rezoning land which Filane owns next to his hotel. Filane left the meeting with the intention of pursuing the plan to build an apartment building next to his hotel. The town council, Canadian Pacific and police will apparently meet to discuss the derailment main focus of the meeting will be, however, the current state of the emergency measures of the town of Schreiber. Fire Chief Doig said he has a number of concerns which he would like to raise at the meeting. During the council meeting, Schreiber council decided to join the Aguasabon Chamber of Commerce. Council passed a resolution which makes it illegal to park on the north side of Highway 17, 100 metres west of Peary Street to the intersection of Drummond Street and Highway 17. In an effort to establish a plan- ning advisory committee, council has decided to advertise for peo- ple for the proposed committee. The positions are volunteer. The committee will provide input as to the future develop- ment of the Township of Schreiber in such matters as developing plans for land use and assisting in the development of the Official Plan. Interested persons may apply in writing to the Reeve and Council, Township of Schreiber, P.O. Box 40, Schreiber, Ont., POT 2S0. by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. An important segment of the operation of the program is the screening of the Block Parent applicants. This ensures that the proper assistance is received by children in their time of need. An application would be refused if there was any record of: sexual offences, drug related offences, armed robbery, assault, serious psychiatric problems or serious alcohol related offences. A final decision to accept or refuse someone as a Block Parent remains a responsibility of the local committee. The Block Parent Program was designed as a result of a grass routes movement which saw a neighborhood co-operation the best protection for children while away from their homes. Groups of concerned citizens across Canada have organized to keep their streets as safe as possi-. ble for their youngsters. It is an excellent example of the commu- nity working together to prevent crime. which occured February 28.
