But both HHH committee and this council felt these buildings were important enough to try to save or least protect, she said. We dont know what the future of these buildings theyre still privately owned and we dont know what the future will bring, but whatever will happen we know that there will be some remnants of these buildings left and over the years well see what does happen, Johnson said. Whatever does come along from a developer in terms of what he or she envisions for the property will take in considera- tion this heritage component and will address the need to continue to recognize this, said Ward 3 Councillor Dave Kentner, the current HHH com- mittee member. Actually Im quite excited to see what a developer will come back with. There are avenues open to the current property owner to make use of this prop- erty at this point in time, and I would be excited to see what they plan to do with the proper- ty very much along the lines of what they originally talked of I would imagine, if they werent going bury with it a condomini- um on top of one of the most important parts of the property. The designation bylaw was also formally approved at Mondays council meeting eliminating the usual two-week ratification period.

Police say the 68-year-old woman, who only has one arm, stepped onto the first step of the bus at about 11:15 a.m., then fell backward landing on the ground between the road and curb. The female bus driver put the bus in park, then got up to help the woman, but the bus moved forward slightly, pinning the woman between the wheel and the curb, said police. Police were unable to free the woman, so Halton Hills firefighters were called in. Firefighters used pneumatic and hydraulic equipment to jack up the bus, managing to free the woman in about 15 minutes. Police say due to the way everything was positioned the three passengers on the bus were kept on board until the woman was freed. The woman was taken to Hamilton General Hospital in serious condition. At press time, Halton Police were still investigating the incident.
