tehe HERALD Home of Hills SLCTJON A THE November 1980 A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Guelph Street Georgetown I Ontario WILLIAM EVDOKIMOFF Publisher PAUL DORSEY Editor DAVID BEATTIE Advertising Manager PHONE Second Clasi Mad Registered Chairmanships represent strength on region council Theres room for cautious but open optimism this week at Halton regional headquarters in Oakvllle where Halton Mils representatives appear to have retained two key committee chairmanships and Mayor Pete may take control of the allimportant administration and finance committee In themselves these appointments by vote of the incoming regional council represent no new trends of support for Hills Roy Booth and Miller easily won the respect of colleagues as heads of the planning and solid waste management committees respectively during 1960 a driving force behind his own town council Mayor reputation as a nononsense hard worker spread to the region and gained him similar esteem there Collectively however the three chairmanships could throw a great deal of weight behind Halton Hills at the beginning of a term thats bound to be a trying one for all four municipalities engaged In this long- range provincial experiment at middle- ground government Next to Milton Hills position in the regional scheme Is most often jeopardized by the weightier demands and loftier aspirations of south If ever we In the north needed the kind of critical control which Pomeroy Booth and Miller can provide It will be during and 82 The regional planning committee had completed most of its work on Haltons first official plan by the time veteran Georgetown politician Roy Booth became its chairman at the beginning of 1B79 but it fell to him and his coworkers to finalize its contents and wade through the discouraging red tape blocking its adop tion The provincial governments reluc tance to finally endorse the plan upon its completion will go down In history as one of the regions more embarrassing moments But now except for a fairly serious court challenge the plan awaits im plementation and a Job belles some councillors claims that the planning committees usefulness had come to an end with the plans adoption by council On the contrary the lions share of the work is Just beginning as Coun Booth whose mem on the Niagara Escarpment has made him something an expert In such matters attempts to turn a piece of paper into a recognizable and enforceable land use policy We already expressed our pleasure at seeing Miller take over the solid waste management committee last year when its very relevance in the face of imminent crisis was being questioned He has already done much good with the committee particularly in spurring council on to quick action where needed its usually needed most north Halton It Is Pete Pomeroys anticipated rise to the chairmanship of the administration committee perhaps second most important political post next to that of regional chairman Jack that In terests us most Under outgoing chairman McLean Anderson a former mayor of Oak ville the committee seemed besieged by endless fiscal failures and shocking prises While no one can fault Coun An for the committees becoming a watershed for regional disasters we have a gut level feeling that Pomeroys leadership could turn things around in much the same way it is starting to turn things around here In Halton Hills It seems unlikely that the com mittees key members Mayor Bird of Burlington Harry Barrett of Oakville and Gord Krantz of Milton replacing Don Gordon will waive their chance to retain seats on such on important committee Mayor Pomeroy would thus be in a position to exercise strong control over the debates that precede each council session and perhaps work that same cold logic direwarning magic thats made him a force to be reckoned with at town council these past four years The expected reelection of Jack as regional chairman only adds to our optimism particularly In light of his unofficial defeat thia week of fellow Burlington alderman Walter who votes parochially every chance he gets In Mr on the other hand north Halton has an important ally when the crunch comes on such crucial Issues as equalized sewer and water rates That particular crunch will come soon Halton Hills has never been in a better position to head it off Go To PHYSICS CXfic No
