Professional Arts Building 99 Sinclair Ave., Suite 210 Georgetown (905) 873-6642 LIVING WITH A LOSS OF HEARING Some voices are easier to understand than others. The clearly speaking person produces words that are more precisely formed, or articulated. The rate of speed of words spoken also affects our ability to understand. If one can hear the speaker as he/she is ta l k ing, th i s makes i t easier to understand. The environment also has an affect on speech understanding bare walls and floors in a room causes sound to ? bounce around. Keep in mind that it is much easier to converse in a quie t , carpeted room. Make sure that there is good lighting and try to maintain a speaking distance of less than nine feet. Youll be pleasantly surprised at how much easier conversation is. Hearing loss can dampen enjoyment of movies, music, church services, watching TV, ea t ing ou t and ta l k ing on the telephone. Even a mild hearing loss can reduce your quality of life. The Georgetown 4 Independent & Free Press, Wednesday, July 2, 2008 Library is Towns next big project, Fogal promises Continued from pg. 1 Wards 3&4 Regional Councillor Jane Fogal. Its primarily linked to the water allocation and theres some hope on the horizon that we will get some more water available to continue with some building that will bring more devel- opment charges and assessment that will assist us in funding the library. Were not quite there yet. To pay for everything (except LEED), the Town will need to spend $6.9 million from development charges (DCs) and $5 million from the Major Capital Project Reserve Fund. But the Town wont have $4.3 million of the DCs until the new residential growth comes (new industrial DCs cannot be used for libraries), so interim financing will have to come from the Special Infrastructure Levy that was put on property tax bills for five years, starting this year. At the August 11 budget committee meeting, the revised capital and operating costs will be presented in conjunction with the initial 2009/2010 operating and capital budgets, so that council has a better idea of the financial implications of whatever they decide. For example, using the Special Infrastructure Levy for the library, said DeSousa, means it will be unavailable for use on other projects such as roads, bridges and repairs and maintenance of facilities. Similarly, use of Recreation DCs ($800,000) for the John Elliott Theatre portion of the project means those DCs will be unavail- able for other recreation capital projects. That worried Ward 1 Councillor Mike OLeary. I cant see us in essence putting all of our eggs in one basket and not having any money for roads and bridges, and emergency repairs. Wards 1&2 Regional Councillor Clark Somerville suggested that consideration be given to a fundraising component. He said he thought this was a project that many in the community would get behind. Ward 4 Councillor Bob Inglis, who is a member of the Halton Hills Public Library Board, said the board is already having prelimi- nary discussions on fundraising. Library rebuild may not get LEED certification Halton Hillss planned renovation and expansion of the Cultural Centre and Library will in all likelihood become a green build- ing, but it wont get the LEED stamp of approval that the two new fire stations are get- ting. In an update about the $12.5 million project presented to Halton Hills council at a June meeting, obtaining a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certifica- tion would cost another $400,000. A direction on whether to spend the extra money to get the environmental badge will likely be made when confirmed costs about the project is presented at the August 11 budget committee meeting. Architect John Knox said since this project involves a major renovation of a building thats already there (part of which is more than 100 years old), its impossible at this point of any project to guarantee that you will achieve that level; you can only try for it. We have not done a major restoration to date ... but its an effort well worth making, Knox said. Were looking at a $400,000 expenditure and without a guarantee that youre going to get what youre trying to achieve, I would call that a bad expense, said Ward 2 Councillor Bryan Lewis. Would it be possible not to go for certifica- tion but use some LEED standards, asked Wards 1&2 Councillor Clark Somerville. Thats a given thats going to happen in any case, said Knox. LEED is simply a scoring sys- tem and a good portion of the additional cost is fees and documentation for the certification. Green is the way to go; its a sensible common sense approach to building. He pointed to such things as low mainte- nance landscaping, natural light, compact fluo- rescent lights, and selection of roofing, window and insulation materials. They dont add to the cost but still contribute to an environmentally sound building. Money is tight said Wards 3&4 Regional Councillor Jane Fogal. Were making a commitment to the LEED standard on the fire halls, and I am less con- cerned now in making a statement to the pub- lic that were being environmentally correct. I just want to build a building that does take into account all the environmental features that we can economically build into it. Mayor Rick Bonnette agreed.We have to use common sense. This is a reno job. Its not like the fire halls, which were brand new build- ings. ...Were not a wealthy municipality and we have to use common sense and good judg- ment, he said. The Library Board is quite confident with the architect that weve chosen (Knox) that were going to get the best building that we can get energy wise and design wise that will incorpo- rate all the environmental features that we can, recognizing that were working with an over 100-year old shell, said Ward 3 Councillor Moya Johnson, who is also on the Library Board.
