Government Proceedings Curtail Pickering Volunteer Fire Service Fire Services in the north- ern part of Pickering Town is becoming a problem for the Pickering Fire Depart- ment. Concern was express- ed to the Pickering Council Executive Committee by Fire Chief Don Lynde. In a letter to the Cornmittee dated on February 27th this year the Fire Chief made a request that some form of contribution be made towards the cost of Fire Services in the Northern half of the Municipality. It was suggested that the Provincial and Federal Gov- ernments be requested to make some contribution to- wards the cost of the fire services, in view of the fact that "the majority of the volunteer fire fighters have left the area as a direct re- sult of the respective Gov- ernments' expropriation ac- tivities." The Executive Committee passed a motion stating that "by virtue of their expro- priation proceedings in the activities of the volunteer fire services and a number of volunteer fire fighters have now left the area. It was recommended that the Cotn- cil petition the Federal and Provincial Governments to offer some form of subsidy that would permit employ- ment of permanent fire fight- ers to "alleviate the hazards that exists to the rural resi- dents of the Municipality." The Pickering Council a- greed with the recommend- ation and passed the resolu- tion stating that "Whereas the Federal and Provincial Governments by virtue of their expropriation proceed- ings in the Northern part of the municipality, has serious- ly curtailed the activities of the volunteer fire service and a number of volunteer fire fighters have now left the area", that some form of assistance should be granted. The Pickering Council passed the resolution petition- ing the Federal and Provincial Governments "to offer some forrn of subsidy that would permit employment of per. manent fire fighters, in order to "alleviate the hazard that exists to the rural residents of the Municipality." Dear Sir: If there was voting for the niost "Disturbed Place on the Face of The Earth", Pickering would win hands down. There would be many entrants from the four corn- ers of the globe but Pickering has expansion of the Nuclear Station, a major sewage plant installation, Cedarwood, Me- tro's garbage dumps, new Hwy. 407, and an internation- al airport. It just has to -be our year. In anticipation of such a win I would like to suggest some activities that could be held and a few awards that could be presented on that great day. First we should have guid- ed tours to the 3 small spots in the Town of Picker- ing not expropriated, annex- ed, frozen, under study, de- tached or being considered. Next, every resident of the past 2 years including those that have been driven out and those who have mov- ed away in complete disgust would be given a medal for courage above and beyond the call of duty. The "Chicken Liver" a- ward would go to the MP or MPP with the faintest heart. A number of ridings are covered by the airport and Cedarwood and some nembers have done almost nothing for their constituents. A few who are in the running have however shown a sing- ular lack of intestinal fort- itude when faced with these adversities. The 'To Tell the Truth Cup" would have to go to the Airport Planners Group although the North Pickerine Development Team is runn- ing a close second. The planners have consistently included a genuine speck of truthfulness in each Airport 11 news release. An "I am Alright Cita- tion" would be shared in my opinion by the Regions of Durham and York for support- ing affected municipalities during this hour of need by burying their heads in the sand. Special recognition and a Brotherhood Award would have to go to the people around Malton. While only thinking of themselves, they unselfishly offer to share their noise with us. They being 119,000 and we being 35,000 seasonally adjusted to 5,000 by the Ministry of Transport. The Civil Liberties Organ- ization would be asked to present a plaque to the ex- propriation teams of the Fed- eral and Provincial govern- ments for doing so much in the past year to protect the rights of the individual. The "I Would Like to Make It Perfectly Clear" A- ward must go to the 5 Ont. Housing Ministers connected with Cedarwood for valiant- ly trying to tell the residents what it is or isn't. To round out the cele- bration all civil servants in- volved in any way with plan- ning, proposing, instituting or otherwise aiding in the aforcnentioned projects wo- uld be presented with a per- manent residence in Cedar- wood on the first street south of the airport with only one stipulation, that they could not use car plugs. Ken Spratley, Councillor Ward 3, Pickering, Ont. REPORT During the week of March l8th to 24th, 1974, officers of Whitby Detachment on traffic duty investigated 26 motor vehicle collisions in which 9 persons were injured and property damage amounted to $18,100.00. Officers on traffic duty laid a total of 151 charges under the Highway Traffic Act. Officers on general law enforcement investigated 5 break and enters, I theft and arrested 7 impaired drivers. 6 charges were laid under the Liquor Control Act and 5 persons were arrested for other police departments on outstanding warrants. OCCURRENCESOF INTEREST On Monday, March 18, 1974, a call was received from the Durham Regional Roads Department, reporting damage to highway signs on Scugog Island. The investigation re- vealed that the sign posts had been sawed through and the signs stolen. An investigation into the matter is being conducted. On Monday, March 18, 1974, Mr. John KRIVEC, of Lot. 14, Con. 9, McLarens Beach, Scugog Township, re- ported a break-in at his cottage. The cottage was entered by forcing a sliding glass door. Taken were a portable television and a pellet rifle, valued at $130.00. Constable Bill PHILLIPS of Whitby Detachment is investigating the matter. On Tuesday, March 19, 1974, a damage complaint was received from Mr. Jerry TAYLOR, of-Lot 1, Con. 7, Scugog Township. Vandals had entered a barn on the property and pulled the plug on a milk tank dumping out 2,500 pounds of milk, valued at $250.00. Constable Gus WAY of Whitby Detachment is investigating the matter. On Wednesday morning at 4:00 a.m., Constable Jim McKENZIE of Whitby Detachment was stationary on Highway 401 eastbound at Ajax when he observed a stolen auto eastbound from Ajax. The vehicle, a 1959 Chevrolet, had been reported stolen earlier from Brampton and was reportedly driven by two escapees from the Brampton Training Centre. Constable McKENZIE gave chase and pursued the vehicle to Park Road and Bloor Street in Oshawa, where it was involved in an accident. The occu- pants, Douglas SCOTT, age 21, and Robert HAWORTH, age 18, fled the vehicle but were arrested a short time later and returned to the Brampton Training Centre.- Liberal Assoc. To Meet Soon In Brooklin Parking Fines Paid At Pickering Municipal Building The question has arisen in Pickering Town about where parking ticket fines can be paid. At a recent meeting of the Council May- or George Ashe brought it to the Council's attention. He stated that the Town of Pickering parking ticket fines "may be paid at the Municipal Building." In case anyone is wonder- ing where the Pickering Town Municipal building is located it can be found at the corner of Brock Road and Kingston Road. This is west of Pick- ering Village and adjacent to the Pickering Post Office. Entry to the parking lot can be made from cither King- ston Road or Brock Road. There is no charge for park- ing on the parking lot at the Town of Pickering Municipal Building. Brooklin Hort. Soc.
