Halton Regional Police report that the mans 17-year-old former girlfriend visited the accuseds home to retrieve personal belongings and an argument took place, leading to the alleged assault. Robert Atchison appeared in court Wednesday for a bail hearing. Two jewelry boxes and a computer modem went missing sometime Tuesday from a resi- dence on Erin St. in Georgetown that is cur- rently undergoing renovations. The boxes contained rings, necklaces and cuff links, while the modem was a Cogeco product. No value for the stolen goods was given, however police report it was under $5,000. A hearing-impaired man had his Blackberry stolen after leaving it unattended on a table for a short time at the McDonalds Restaurant at 236 Guelph St. in Georgetown last Friday morning (Sept. 7). Worth approximately $600, Halton Regional Police Det. Const. Jeff Dunham said the man is desperate to have the device returned as he relies on it to communicate with others. Anyone with information can call 905-878- 5511. Patio furniture was taken from the front of an 86 Guelph St. residence on Tuesday between noon and 7 p.m. Four chairs, a table and umbrella were stolen. Police blotter Man facing assault charges The Town and Region will spend half a mil- lion dollars on salt to make travel safer on Halton Hills roads this winter. Council approved the purchase of road salt from Sifto Canada Inc. at a recent meeting. The price for the 2007-2008 winter season will be $66.66/metric tonne a 5.1 per cent increase. The cost will be split 70/30 between the Town and Region respectively. It is a lot of money for salt, said Ward 2 Councillor Bryan Lewis. But we are paying attention to the reduction processes that have been put in place over a number of years. In 2003, the Town approved a salt manage- ment program to reduce the level of sodium chlo- ride placed on roads in response to federal gov- ernments concerns about its affect on the envi- ronment. The key objective of the program was to reduce the average application rate from 225 kilograms of salt per kilometre to 170 kg/km - thats a 24 per cent reduction. In some cases, Town staff used lower applica- tion rates of between 100 kg/km and 130 kg/km during winter storm conditions to gauge their effectiveness. Staff also used sand in colder weather because in those temperature conditions salt takes longer to become effective as a deicer. The salt order for the Town has also increased due to the acquisition of regional roads and the addition of new subdivisions.
