enwee Peary residents want culverts moved by Darren MacDonald The News Land on Peary Street in Schreiber being used to store culverts has become a danger- ous playground for local chil- dren, say parents who live near the site. The land is located next to the water treatment plant. In addition to the culverts, oil drums, old sign poles, fire hydrants and wires are also stored there. "It's like a bee to honey," says Mary Jane Majeau, who lives across the street from the site. ""There's always kids play- ing there--and not just our kids, either. They come from across the highway just to play there." Majeau says the culverts have been there ever since she moved in three years ago. Another Peary Street resi- dent, Joceyln Godin, says her son Lee, four years old at the time, badly bruised his eye after falling off one of the cul- verts while playing on them last year. Majeau says many of the culverts have been damaged, and, combined with the rest of the items stored there, are a hazard to kids. "Last year I had to pull a couple of kids out of the cul- verts," says Carmen Trapp, another resident who lives near the site. "They had been play- ing and got stuck inside." Trapp says she's been told by the Township that there's no money available to install the sewer system. But she says it will cost the town more in the long run not to install culverts. "They're going to have to replace some of the culverts that have been damaged, which is going to cost them more money anyway," she says. "And if someone gets hurt while playing there, they could sue the township." But Schreiber Township Engineer John Este says the culverts stored at the site are extra ones intended for replacement work. He says St. Martin Students spend day with seniors by Darren MacDonald The News As part of Education Week, the 27 students of the grade 7/8 class at St. Martin School spent last Friday afternoon visiting residents at Birch- wood Terrace. Students joined the resi- dents in playing shuffleboard, cards, checkers, and bingo. The bingo games were called by Father Campbell of St. Martin Church. "T think the students need a lot of contact with older peo- ple," said Phil Main, teacher of the 7/8 class. "And we want to instill a sense of community service--of doing something for someone else." Main also said that the stu- dents bought prizes for the bingo games using extra money they raised for a class trip. "T asked them if they would like to do something like that and they were very enthusias- tic," said Main. "They bought the gifts themselves, and then they wrapped them." The class trip is to Toronto and Niagara at the end of the month.

"We're definitely going to clean it up, hopefully starting today (May 8)," says John Este. "But kids should not be playing there." Most of the houses in the area are Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation homes, who sold the homes primarily to less well-off families, as well as to seniors and disabled persons. As a result, there are about 50 children living in the area, Says Mary Jane Majeau. "They can't expect us to be policemen for the township." ager eer (cz THE CORPORATION cere ~ : OF THE TOWNSHIP QB).
