Freedom and Power by Frank Teravich We can only have power when we have freedom, and we can only have freedom when we are free to be who we truly are. It is with this freedom that we then have the power to become what we are meant to become and to live the lives we choose to live. Understanding the relationship between these two forces creates an energy in our lives that gives us hope and allows our dreams to take fl ight. Acton/Georgetown, Friday, September 12, 2008 15 Despite a staff report recommending against, Halton Hills council voted to install an all-way stop at McDonald Blvd. at Division St. in Acton. This is an issue that simply wont go away, said Mayor Rick Bonnette, who initiated the motion to countermand the staff recommenda- tion. Putting in an all-way stop is a lot safer and less costly than doing studies every year or two. The mayor was referring to studies on this intersection near the McKenzie-Smith Bennett School every year since 2004. It was first brought to his attention in 2002. There is a lot of concerns from people in that area for their children, he said. The new all-way stop was slated to be in place last week. According to the staff report, the cost of installation will be about $2,000, the amount of traffic does not meet the criteria for an all-way stop, and its installation will create vehicle emissions, fuel consumption and noise pollu- tion. In a June 25, 2008 radar study there was 84 per cent compliance with the speed limit of 50 km/h and 209 vehicles passed through the intersection during the four-hour study. While the mayor accepted the traffic num- bers, he pointed out the intersection is on a curve, and adding to the visibility problems is a corner property with a fence, plus foliage. Council ignores staff recommendation Town gives green light to stop sign CYNTHIA GAMBLE Staff Writer The YMCA of Greater Toronto recently hon- oured a Georgetown man for 30 years of service. Franz Schmidt, along with 17 others, was recognized for his years of service as a YMCA director, career counsellor and planner. Schmidt began his connection to the YMCA when he interned as a counsellor at the YMCA of Greater Toronto while completing further graduate studies in Psychological Assessment and Counselling. Over the years, he has made his mark in group therapy and both family and marriage counselling. However, its in career counselling that Schmidt found his calling. Countless adults and youth in the community have benefited from his expertise in counselling and management assessment, and Schmidt says he finds his work extremely rewarding. Being at the Y means I can find har- mony between my values and working for a living. All seems right with the world for me, and the Y is a big part of that, says Schmidt. Co-worker, Barb Williams, General Manager of Essential Skills, Employment and Community said, Franz is a wonder- ful person to work with, and hes dedicat- ed to coaching people so that they can find their true path. He is continually learning new ways to enhance Career Planning Services and shares them with the rest of the association. We are very lucky to have Franz working with us.
