(Replacement of Barton Road Culvert No. 5) MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS Mr. Nashar reported that the volunteer gun turn-in program he had proposed was very successful on the first collection day of May 16. Ten hand guns and five rifles were collected. He feels that the residents who turned in guns and ammunition to the Police Department helped make our community a safer place for our children. Residents who have guns in their homes should keep them locked up in a separate location from the ammunition. This coming Saturday, May 23, the police will be collecting guns once again from the hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. His offer still applies: Anyone turning in a gun will receive a $10 food gift certificate from Rini-Rego at Great Northern Boulevard and a $29.95 oil change coupon from Great Northern Dodge. He also recognized Mark Halleen from Halleen Chevrolet who contributed ten $10 gift certificates from Rini-Rego to help support this program.. At the end of the collection period, all guns will be scrapped and melted down. His sincere thanks to everyone who helped to make this program a success especially the Sun News, the Westlife, the Chronicle and the Plain Dealer. He encourages other suburbs to do the same thing. Mrs. Saringer commended Mr. Nashar for having the foresight to institute this and feels the safety forces are thankful. After all, it is one less gun they have to face. Mr. Miller also commended Mr. Nashar for his efforts and said that the police officers were pleased that they had gotten this many guns off the street. On another matter, Mr. Miller commented that he had spoken to Mr. Lynch, Westlake Law Director, about the dam in Ehle Ditch. Mr. Lynch was very receptive and open to addressing the problem.
