Do you fear walking out- doors due to insufficient street lighting? Are you constantly aware of strangers lurking with- in your neighbourhood? Are you concerned about the increase of crime in Rossport? Then it's time for you to join the many others who have expressed the same concerns, and come out to a Neigh- bourhood Watch meet- ing. Six individuals with- in the Rossport area have been working dili- gently on these con- cerns, along with Con- stable Don Anderson of the Schreiber Detach- ment of the O.P.P. The six people involved are Dave. Iddison, Deb Mc- Lean, Linda Joiner, Lor- raine Seppela, Louise Stefurak and Zuris Zdanovskis. Together they have organized the Rossport Crime Pre- vention Group, and are now asking for your assistance. The main objective of their group says Louise Stefurak, is to stop crime from occuring within their area. "We want to find out if there's anything that we can do to prevent this from happening. We're tired of what has been going on, so it's up to the residents to come up with some ideas and suggestions on how to handle the situation." To date, the group have put together a questionnaire which was in turn given to each household in Rossport. The returns were as- tounding. People have expressed their con- cerns and given sug- gestions on the topic of crime. Many felt that there had been an in- crease in crime and the - three major crimes in- volved included break and enter, theft and burglary. They felt that there was insufficient police patroling done in the area, and most of the people returning quest- ionnaires were willing to participate in a Crime Prevention Programme. The residents also voiced their opinions on the inadequate street lighting and the Com- mittee has been looking into this matter quite seriously. The Ministry of Northern Affairs is willing to provide 50 per cent of all maintenance costs incurred after the lighting system has been put in place, so this will take the burden off the taxpayers in the future. Other people felt that the. laws regarding crime such as theft, and break and enter, weren't strict enough, and they in turn want to approach the government on this. The Steering Com-' mittee comprised of the above mentioned indi- viduals, with the help of the O.P.P., are setting up a community meet- ing to discuss the future directions of the Com- mittee. The meeting will be held in the Rossport Community Hall on Tuesday, January 31st. Topics which will be discussed. include: (1) Home protection (2) Operation Identification (3) Contacting the police and (4) Group discus- sions on the Neigh- bourhood Watch pro- gramme. Coffee and goodies will be provided - throughout the evening. So, if you are one of the many concerned in- dividuals who want to see something done about the prevention of crime in the Rossport area, then please make an effort to come out and participate in this very important and informa- 'tive session. It may save you a great deaF of future hardships. ) 1984 Seminar for Secretaries One of the major causes of stress in mod- ern life is the pressure to get as much as possi- ble done in the time available.
