The HWMS manages our household waste, which is vital for Haltons sustainability. When the HWMS opened, it was expected to last 20 years. Thanks to the enthusiastic recycling efforts of Halton residents its life was extended to 2023. It could now last another six to eight years with the programs in the 2006-2010 Solid Waste Management Strategy, including the region-wide rollout of the GreenCart in April 2008. 2 F ? L I ? W M S ?

Monica Wallenfels Regional Clerk 10 Sports & Leisure, Friday, October 26, 2007 As the William Mill in Glen Williams pre- pares for its Tiny Treasures Christmas show and sale, The Independent & Free Press is running a series giving readers a glimpse of the most valuable treasure of all the artists. This is the eighth story of the series. The work of master craftsmen Gordon Wright and Bernhard Viehweber primarily involves large architectural stained glass projects, yet each project is made of indi- vidual treasures put together to create the whole. Glass pieces are chosen for their colour, or painted, and cut to fit the design that can incorporate etching and sandblast- ing and the use of a variety of glass types, bevels and lenses. Growing up in a suburb, Wright found the light and colours of stained glass capti- vating and appreciated its longevity in an age of consumer throw-away products. He designs windows and large projects that he executes himself or in partnership with other artists. Currently, two of his designs are being realized for the new headquarters of the electrical distribution company, PowerStream Corporation in Vaughan. A hanging cascade of 140 blown glass pieces representing insulators, generators and transformers will hang in three-storey lobby. Wright is working with glass blower Andy Kuntz of the Williams Mill who is also contributing to the second project, an engineering art wall, along with Mill artists Sheri Tenaglia and Bernhard Viehweber. This sophisticated piece of interactive wall art shows PowerStreams distribution area. Viehwebers contribution includes etch- ing roads and highways, and attractions in the area into six plate glass sheets. Viehweber opened his Williams Mill studio for Architectural Stained Glass and Restoration a year ago and has a number of ongoing projects. He was certified as a master craftsman in Germany, taught his art in Nairobi, Kenya, and has worked in the restoration of the Peace Tower and Library of the Parliament Buildings, the Royal Ontario Museum and Casa Loma, as well as creating new work for other public institutions, churches and private homes. Tiny Treasures runs November 16 until Christmas. The Williams Mill Gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. Studios are open Fridays and Saturdays, noon to 5 p.m. Architectural stained glass artists, Gordon Wright (right) and Bernhard Viehweber hold a sheet of etched plate glass in front of one of the textured maps created by Sheri Tenaglia (left). The engineering wall art project designed by Wright for the PowerStream Corporation will include four such paintings, six sheets of etched plate glass, fired glass and lighting ele- ments mounted on a curved wall 8 m wide x 2.5 m high.
