Police youth bureau 104 cases handled Barries youth bureau has handled 104 cases in its first three months of operation says Gary Logan Constable Logan says the bureau established in De cember after Barries police commission accepted city police recommendation has had an effect on policing juveniles Because Im not in uniform and because dont drive blueandwhite patrol car he said in an interview today kids are responding to me can go into plaza in plainclothes and green car and Ill have them coming up and talking to me within five minutes he said But if go in there wearing uniform he added they wont come near me Its the uniform They dont likeit Constable Logan has handled everything from obscene telephone calls to shoplifting and assault he says handle anything to do with juveniles and they act exactly like adults in most cases Shoplifting is major pro blem says Constable Logan Nobody has monopoly on that but do find it to be the number one problem He says while no official statistics have been released he estimates the main offenders to range in age from 12 to it years and says 70 per cent are male Runaways are the second worst problem says Constable Logan with cases of the 104 involving children who have run away from home Communication His responsibility is to get communication dialogue mov ing beteween the child and the parents says Constable Logan Im not parents he amineit When child runs away in lot of cases the problem is in the home As an outsider you usually get people talking about what problems they are having and act as go between Sometimes the victory is only Il zeroing in said but Another month for site choice Barrie area residents have to wait at least one more month to see three possible sites for proposed Ontario Hydro trans former station Ted Johnston public rela tions officer for Hydros Georgian Bay region said to day winter weather has delayed detailed inspection of study area in Barrie and Vespra Township Hydro said in February three possible sites in the study area should be picked by this month We havent been able to assess the sites Mr Johnston said today Theres still lot of snow around which is preven ting the inspections The study area includes Highway 93 west of Vespras Sixth Concession and from Highway 400 east of Bayfield t0 Cundles Road west and Sun nidale Road north roughly to Midhurst Hydro wants to put the transformer station close to the existing thJJlMivolt transmis sion line which crosses the stydy area southwest to north west in Vespra Township Mr Johnston said Hydro still hopes to have single site pick ed and sent to the provincial government for approval with in few months He said the site will be picked on the basis of environmental engineering and economic con siderations The three alternatives will be taken to the public for deci sion if there is enough response to letters sent to about two dozen local interest groups including Pollution Probe ratepayers associations Con sumers Association of Ianada and industrial groups Mr Johnston said there have been four calls for more in formation about the trans former site from the Barrie In dustrial Commission lnnisfil Township

anticipate great deal of difficulty from local groups because the station is needed to supply the local community he said Hydro wants the $37 million station completed by 1980 because transmission station on Tiffin Street is expected to reach its capacity in three years transformer station takes the 230000 volts from the main transmission line and reduces it to 44000 volts sending it to smaller stations to be reduced before it reaches homes and iii dustries Mr Johnston said the lttacre site needed for the lowprofile modern transformer station will probably not involve ex propriation of land if the owner is willingto sell willingness to sell could be key factor to the final loca tion he said Tonight Whether its Bucket Barrel Thrift Box or Snak Pak you know your children are on to something thats really good for them And when you think about all the things they could be ating arent you glad they ask for Kentucky Fried Chicken temporary however Some times youll be back within

found them those jobs he says have sat down with businessmen and hope to keep doing that but cant spend my time looking for work for them oustahle Logan says the number of cases he has handled in three months too many proves there is need for youth bureau Chief Earl Snider agrees lot of thought went into this prior to the boards accep tance of recommendations for youth bureau he said today If there wasnt need for the bureau it wouldnt exist hief Snider says the increas ing workload onstable Logan is facing could mean the need for an assistant soon If he keeps working the way he is now he said we might have to review the whole thing and look at additional help on the youth bureau Hut then its matter of dollars and cents lolicing is an expensive business today 7372640 Essa council names
