Neighborhood Watch |
Denise Chadala is the coordinator for the Neighborhood Watch program
in Fallingbrook. Ken Menzies is the coordinator for all of Orleans. Denise is
trying to get the Watch program going again in Fallingbrook. This month Ken
is working on getting Queenswood Heights up and running. Success for this
program depends upon the Community |
|
Councilor Kreling |
Regular meetings will continue
until October some time. November 10th is the date for the
Municipal elections. Presently Councilor Kreling is dealing with questions
from residents on the traffic issues surrounding the two new ice surfaces.
The residents on Boittriell and Merkley appear to be split. The biggest
problem seems to be the residents speeding on those streets. Presently about
one third of the traffic on the extension is going to Ray Friel. If the
extension were closed, traffic would increase substantially on Boittriell.
Green space will be depleted with the addition of the two ice surfaces, and
some beautification will be done. |

Treasurer |
Don provided a report on Canada Day. Most of the expenses/bills are
in. David provided the bill for the truck rental on Ted’s credit card.
Entertainment expenses were higher this year. We will either break even or be
slightly ahead. The treasurer's report was accepted on a motion by Don and
seconded by Brenda. |
|
Canada Day/ Petrie Island |
It
was another successful year! David circulated the album of photos from Canada
Day. The
negatives were given to George earlier for safekeeping. David will give both
George and Marc the picture CD’s. David discussed the possibility of
operating the fireworks and having Homiuk back next year, being in mind both
construction and the size of the two new ice surfaces. David will investigate
with the City and Serco. Water quality at Petrie was good all summer. There were only three
times when the Beach would have been closed. This was the last year for the
Trillium grant. Presently, they have a CD show with a laptop and projector
available to show the scenes from Petrie. |

Newsletter |
Don has done manual paste-ups for the last ten years. Our Printer
would like us to provide an electronic copy for him in the future. Don has
since purchased a hard drive and has been given the software. Don will be
receiving instruction on how to use the new software. Don is aiming at a
newsletter for mid October, which could include the municipal elections. Don
asked Penny for pictures of the rink expansion for the newsletter. David
suggested that we could use a student volunteer to scan the old newsletters
and put them on the web-site. |
