like any other developer or Individual wanting to do something in Hills and If council doesnt agree the proposal can be rejected Sheldon said it would be nice to get a commitment from the province that land use maps dealing with aggregate can be an addendum to the Official Plan and not in the legal part of the plan The Minister of Housings previous insist- a nee that aggregate maps and documents be part of the legal portion of the regional Official Plan and not Just the addendum Is what caused the region staff to come up with amendment number six which would freeze huge tracts of land in north for possible future aggregate extraction The unveiling of amendment number six was what caused the aggregate issue to break out in real anger from residents last fall Sheldon noted the province said Caledon didnt have to include aggregate in the legal May 9 will soon be set up in the Branch Nomination slips will be behind the bar so start thinking about who you want to run your

for aggregate protection drew attention away from the dangers in the text of the amend ment Sheldon fears the next text will say the plan must conform to provincial aggre gate policy and so it will still be slanted in the direction of ultimate aggregate Lion Hopefully Pope and Farrow will address the question of which takes priority In the cases of aggregate versus agriculture and aggregate versus residential areas Another major Issue Sheldon hopes theyll clarify is the of compatibility MNR statements and policies indicate she said existing uses must be compatible with extraction of aggregate In other words Acton or a rural cluster would have to be compatible with potential future aggregate mining before expansion would be per mitted The new Planning Act defines areas of provincial significance one of those areas being aggregate she noted Through the new Planning Act Sheldon believes the pro vince will be able to take away citizens rights to appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board and cabinet If an Issue people wanted to take to the OMB Involved an area of provincial significance then a hearing officer couldnt delve into the issue She feels that with the new aggregate policy nothing has changed Theyve changed the words In the hope people cant change their dance steps quick enough In effect the new policy Is devastating as the old one Sheldon also wants the minister to address the whole question of a land freeze without compensation The need for aggregate from has never been properly determined except by the aggregate producers and thats a biased view she declared Another problem which hasnt been properly studied Is the impact or truck haul routes both to Individuals and the municipality and taxpayers The impact of haul routes could be horrendous Aggregate protection Is one of the biggest Issues to ever hit Halton Sheldon said and she expects it wont be settled for years to come She warned the province could take the new aggregate policy combined with the powers In the new Planning Act and a probable new aggregate bill and have everything in place for aggregate extraction In the north to the degree people have feared worst She thinks the province will combine legislation and policies to legitimize its stance on aggregate and have land frozen for future quarries just the way they always intended Policies at Queens Park deal with all lands but there are two separate planning areas in the north lands governed by the region and lands governed by the Niagara Escarpment Commission North could still wind up with huge tracts of land frozen in north Halton through the two planning areas The area could still end up with double the impact of aggregate land freeze and mining in the north She concluded she doesn feel the pro vince has watered down lis policy Nothing has really changed Volunteers recognized Halton Board of Education volunteers were honored at the board meeting Thur sday evening in Burlington In slidetape presentation in recognition of National Volunteer Week In elementary schools alone in Halton there are volunteers who snow up regularly every week a report to the board from Trustee Jams Mlllman said Of these work up to one hour per week with working from two to three hours per week Some 1U put in four to five hours a week They donate a total of hours a week Various classroom clerk chores have the highest number of volunteers with with 2 to the libraries Neighbors Coatbracd tram page next door yet not one call was by the police department One woman in the audience wondered how many suspects are local people Drennan pointed out it was difficult to be accurate because not everyone is caught but be estimated 90 per cent would be local Another person In the audience wanted to know why the local newspapers could not run pictures of suspects and why names were not used in the reporting of all crimes sec Page One woman said if her child did something wrong and the name was in the paper the family would be embarrassed and she would make sure it the crime was not done again noted that because the names are in the paper mean they will stop committing crimes Parents may stop the children from doing the crime again but he noted most of the suspects have parental problems and arent the embarrassing type anyway Criminals should be made to pay restitution for their misdeeds Kathy San- ford said Drennan noted that more and more judges are ordering community ser vice work rather than fines which the par ents usually end up paying anyway He explained the criminal himself has to get out and clean up garbage or the park etc The true test of police efficiency is not In their visibility but in the absense of crime noted An Acton resident at the meeting questioned how much force he could use to defend his home Drennan told him the law states you can use as much force as is nec essary to make an arrest But he warned the group that they may strike someone over the head with a baseball bat and find It is the yearold neighbor coming home drunk who wandered into the wrong house Most break ins are committed by some one under years of age of average intel ligence and average homes Drennan said There arc three easy ways to safeguard goods a home One he said Is an electric engraver and have a driver s licence or social insurance number written right on Another is invisible Ink and a third is photographs Stickers are placed on doors and windows warning any robber the house is covered by Operation Identification Many of the suspects questioned by police had various homes they would not go near If they looked in the window and saw a dog bowl or saw childrens toys in the front yard they would go next door said One man who had confessed to break and enters said he would go next door to the house with Operation Identification stickers on the door Alex Richards of Poplar Ave stated at the meeting that he was not working and owned an engraver which he would kindly lend out to anyone or go do the work him self He can be reached at Home security will be discussed at the next meeting next Tuesday April at at the Acton arena hall Block captains for will also be picked Of the people at the meeting learned nine had been victims of break ins about five had had property stolen and one had had a car stolen In an interview following the meeting Bonnette said he was overwhelmed by the response from and gratified people arc getting behind Neighborhood Watch While the audience was predominately from Lakevlew there were also residents of Bovls Glenleo and the Crescent areas In attendance Bonnette said he and volunteers from Bovis who have come forward will be going doortodoor this week in that subdivision explaining Neighborhood Watch and hand ing out letters inviting residents to the April meeting After the next meeting he and some vol unteers from Glenlea will blitz that area Inviting people to a meeting so a Neighbor hood Watch con be set up there In the future Fellow councillor Ross Knechtel sent a message to the meeting which was read aloud apologizing for his absence because he was on vacation but pledging complete support for the program Knechtel will be helping the other volunteers establish Neighborhood Watch here Industrial from page 1 1 pro vol He explained there Is still much work to be done but they didnt want to pro ceed with more tests and studies unless they have an indication council is behind the pro ject Councillors Miller and Sheldon reported they had heard concerns from rural neighbors of this project about well concerns Miller was worried about Impact of wells in the industrial park on water levels in wells on neighboring properties Morrison explained the province requires that If the project impacted on area wells theyd have to solve Ihe problem He suggested most of the water from the wells would wind up back in the ground from the septic tanks More tests would be needed to nail down the Impact of wells In the Indus trial park Sheldon said while it was true the would require area well problems solved people would have to prove the new project had caused the damage Morrison said they didnt anticipate there d be any problems in building a tile bed and septic tanks on Ihe property but more testing and study was needed In this area too Mayor Peter nofed Halton Hills has been working for years to solve water sewage and storm water drainage problems for servicing of new Acton Industrial land and residential lands Progress has been slow and frustrating But since this project is outside the expanded urban boundary It could be examined separately and on Its own merit Pomeroy said he dldnt mind the Idea of more industrial land in Acton at different prices being on the market Councillor Ross noted that rural i would have rail access and pointed out Hills is in desperate need of more industrial land assessment to help remedy Lax burden problems Council accepted Councillor Dave Whitings suggestion that the whole matter be referred to the planner to interested councillors could work with staff to solve problems and come back with a posture motion endorsing the project by next month
