Mrs Grand indicated that she felt this was the Board‘s responsibility I concur it is the Board‘s responsibility since 1975 when (iernian \lills Public School was first opened in an over? crowded state All inquiries to the Board regarding this problem have always received the same response. “it's the Police concerned fault convince Ministry‘s have to Ministry" A number of residents having heard this message have acted on it and written to the Ministry of Education and to our member of the Provincial Parliament, Mr. All ls'tong These letters were not intended to ruin the cause of German Mills‘t case. but were written out of a sense of frustration with the delaying. and general lack of activity of the Board.

Seventeen perSons have died during the first five months of this year as a result of those accidents compared with four persons killed in motor vehicle accidents in the first five months 01 1978. In nearly all of those 17 fatal accidents evidence was available to clearly indicate that one of the drivers involved was driving -in a reckless manner or without consideration for other motorists. Consequently. ('hief ('rawford has informed the Board of (‘0m- missioners of Police that effective immediately traffic enforcement will be increased sub- stantially in this municipality with par- ticular emphasis on enforcement of the speed laws and other moving traffic violations. livery member of the York Regional Police Force. the Board of ('ommissioners of Police and indeed most mem- bers of this community have justifiably been proud of the envious record relating to traffic fatalities which has been maintained by the citizens of this com» inunin during the past five years. That record has results in York Region being named by a management consulting lirrn who was Easter Seal campaign This year‘s Easter Seal Campaign in Richmond Hill raised over $4,200.

The present fatality rate will undoubtedly. if it continues. completely destroy that record. The Board of (‘om~ missioners of Police and the (‘hief of Police recognize their respon- sibilily to safeguard the lives of the people of this community from a violent death in a motor vehicle accident arid sincerely urge every resident and motorist who travels upon our roads to recognize the seriousness of this unacceptable situation and co-operate with them by respecting the traffic laws and rights of other motorists and by doing so protect their own lives and the lives of others Bruce (‘ra wford (‘hief of Police Region of York livity that has taken place appears to have been undertaken very reluc- tantly and without any real appreciaton of the problem at German Mills.

In the same article. Mr. Don (‘ousins asks. “What does Mr Stong think he's doing"” It appears to me he is doing what is expected of an MPP. representing his constituents‘ interests. is that wrong? Maybe he can get an» swers to questions that so far have remained unanswered when posed to the trustees I don‘t think I need to defend Mr Stong to the Board nor to explain his actions as I am sure he can do so very capably for himself But it seems I must expiain my actions and those of other residents of German Mills to the Board We are tired of the run around we have been getting from the Board. particularly in the past year. and have ac- cordingly taken the Board’s advice and bbrought the matter to the attention of the Ministry of Education.
