rising in imr Phone Tilt l Sharing freely It s music to our ears to learn the Georgetown Girls Pipe Band has won the Citizen of the Year award for Georgetown The Lions Club selection committee in excellent choice The accomplishments and talents of the Girls Pipe Band are known to many The group made us proud to say we re part of Hal ton Hills when they won their award this past summer at the World Piping Championships in It s important the Band be recognized for all the effort they ve put into their music The training is rigorous for members especially at the level of competition chosen to play in But beyond their own practice schedule and fundraismg efforts the band has sacrificed and been a true frund to residents in town The winners of the Citizen of the Year award of their time for a number of community related events They are visible at all sorts of parades in town during the year supporting special causes and setting a pleasant uplifting mood with the unmistnkeable hum of their tradi tional bagpipes When community groups are considered for recognition the Pipe Band is a worth choice anytime They re loyal to their music and loyal to the community represent It s not just the excellence of their music the I ions com mittee is recognizing its the Bands willingness to share freely of their talents with others Too much at stake Are Burlington politicians just good poker players or are they playing with a marked deck Charges that Burlington has been coy with neighbouring municipalities about a potential dump site in Acton were diffused last week Burlington councillors deflected criticism that the haven t told all We can accept that but we re fullj aw ire our neighbour to the south is pulling out all stops to it won be the recipient of another landfill site It s not that leads Burlington to search out alternatives to solve Halton garbage crisis With the top two candidate sites narrowed down to Burl ington and Milton politicians from both centres are doing all they can to protect their turf All of the lobbying by their political representatives is bound to be partisan There is no top choice for a dump when no one wants a dump in his municipality Thats why consultants and staff can pull out all sons of data proving why one site is better than another and the in formation won be accepted at face value No one is going to the environmental assessment htar ings prepared to lose loo much is at stake already Millions of dollars have been spent on research and tests Burlington will turn a blind eye to the fact that it could save million by having a garbage dump on its own had rather than if it was in Milton over a year period Nor does it matter to Burlington that it produces per cent of the Regions garbage by far the largest consumer of waste in Halton We don t blame the politicians who are rightly sup porting the wishes of their constituents in this landfill bit tie In the end however partisan considerations will havt to make way for the clear cold hard facts of the matter Attitudes changing Staff comment Joining the police no longer means saying to friends and neighbors until the dale of retire men from Police sem lo be gaining more public
