Manager Phone Page April Changing face Don t take our word for when we tell you Georgetown and area is growing and industry is surging While housing starts are few industrial expansion is ex a mini boom of sorts Some examples a 5 million contract just awarded to Rockwell Interna tional of Canada Ltd to provide fibre optic electronics for a transcontinental network William Neilson Ltd announcing plans for a addition to its Guxlph Street plant The plaza at the corner of Guelph and Streets is being extended and businesses will be added Estimates cost of the construction is Corngan Instrumentation has just received a 000 contract from the federal government to supply airport security equipment At Vanan the Canadian government has requested work be done for a contract worth 1 million announced three weeks ago Sod turning begins this week for the Sands Con dominium project a storey unit complex By the summer construction is expected to start on the new town hall complex In downtown Georgetown the threestorey medical professional building is well on its way to being completed Town reflection Gleaning ideas from counsellors and town staff C A Ventin Architects has molded a model of our new town hall Shimering white the model was released for public viewing last Tuesday evening It not a bold and pretentious building Rather the new municipal complex fits in suitably with the natural land scape it surrounds The building seems to reflect the character of the town A tall structure would look out of place in a town where the largest building is a 12 storey apartment In a town where councillors have traditionally fought large budget increases it would be ironic to have a Toron to city hall type structure Nevertheless the new complex seems spacious and functional In fact company supervisors from private in dustry should be drooling over the abundance of private of fices afforded to even the most junior of positions Another luxury the complex could certainly part with are washrooms for both staff and the public Those fearing crowded council chambers should feel bet ter about the new structure The circular chamber in the new building will accommodate over loo members of the public However should there be a really contentious issue a retractable wall would allow a standing room only crowd to peer at the councillors We re surprised the building wont have more of an over powering effect on motorists passing by on Maple Street One of the reasons the site was chosen was because of its prominent location and easy access Will passers by be puzzled at the low level structure blending indiscriminate ly amongst the trees and ponds It s hard to be overly critical of the new town hall design If council can keep to their budget predictions on building the complex we foresee little opposition to their new home Man of the hour Editor notebook Georgetown Chamber Com merce deserves be for choosing Doug Pcnricc as its new general manager Mr has all the credentials lo fulfill the role required by the Chamber He a former president and owner of the Beaumont Knitting Company He knows Georgetown businesses and what they want because of his three year tenure as president of the Chamber Besides members will know what to expect from a man who many worked side by side with for a number of years It hard to know whether to laugh or cry Our police and school board reporter Sandy Campbell is leaving us after two years at the newspaper to return to school We ap preciated his efforts but know he 11 enjoy his new challenge taking a Master of Journalism degree at Western Meanwhile his replacement Brian MacLeod is no stranger to all of us in the newsroom Brian was The Herald coop student last year the fall and spring sessions at Sheridan College Write us a letter Little chance for a breakthrough Despite the apparent optimism of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney there is little to suggest hen will be any major break through on at id rain when he meets President Ronald Reagan next month When the president announced last week that he would ask Con for billion for emission control research there was mediate and enthusiastic response from Ottawa Mr Mulroney describ ed it as an important first step and a significant commitment But this really a fir repeat of a fust The president was more or less restating a pledge from las I yuir Furthermore the money if forthcoming will be used for more research not imis And when Mr held his first news conference in four ths he said little to heighten hopes for any great war on acid r Tin further we ve gone the more com plex the ibsue of the source of rain becomes he said So what wove trying to do is avoid going down avenue that would disappoint us and we really solve the problem words we wed to study it This not a view shared by cither Environment Minister Tom McMillan or Mr Mulroney who ex the original commitment on acid rain from the President of the 1985 Sham rock Summit Just a few days ago the prime minister told the Wildlife Manage ment Institute whose members are mostly American that we know the cause of rain we know the consequences and we know the That seems clear enough He urged delegates meeting in Quebec City to go home and talk to your congressmen and your to get issue on Mil lop of their agenda He told them that the government of Canada is firm ly determined to end the blight of lit expressed optimism lhat his meeting with Mr Reagan will moe things along and the ma Iter will ultimately be resolved But the rate things are going could take a long time to clean up the sulphur dioxide emissions which come mainly from coal burning power plants And up until he become aware of Canada Intense interest In the matter the president showed remarkably little en thusiism for the subject one time he blamed trees plants and wildlife Tor much of the pollution But his first meeting with Mr Mulroney when he was urged to put rain at the lop of the a gen da he has been at least trying to say the right things at the right time His suggestions of American action tend to coincide with or precede meetings with the prime minisler his lolcst being a good example Mr Mulroney has been accused one S congressman Democrat Gerry Slkorski of taking the wrong approach In dealing with the presi dent on acid rain II was his view stated rather forcefully to a group of Canadian journalists that whenever the prime minister appears grateful for an American initiative in this respect confuses Americans He sold that tho prime minister apparent appreciation leases he impression that Canada is satisfied with the American effort and his takes pressure off Congress to take further It e a doubtful theory Riven the amount of attention Mr comments generally get in the American media What probably far more harmful is for instance that editorial in the Washington Post which says the US Is spending loo much money on acid rain In any event the prime minister has gone far beyond mere lion in saying that acid rain is a test of our relationship In the last few days he I been mincing his words about the importance of eliminating pollutants from the at But that mean we should expect a great breakthrough at the forthcoming Summit There was more than mere in Mr Reagan s remark about avoiding the wrong avenue since he had Jusl remarked in a reference to the Iran arms scandal that I would not go down that same road again I 1 ll I paraphrase some of these if they ore of public interest One such letter came to us this week concerning story about am response times in Acton The writer Tell we were unduly the work of the am crews many of whom are volunteers and willingly mon Ihe station during he night shift Our reply to the author of this let Is lhat we were not singling out the ambulance crews for any lack of effort on their part Rather the pro is clearly that In Acton there must be found a faster for the ambulance attendants to respond withoul making a 10mlnute trek along Highway The logical answer is to have a station In Acton Another leller asked us lo make comparisons between a con lhat is brewing in Bramp ton over their town hall and our situation in Ha It on Hills Councillors in Brampton have approved a new town complex for the downtown area of Brampton away from the present Now thai the vote has been taken some politicians and the public arc mounting a campaign to have the decision reversed However the comparisons are slim between the City of Brampton and Ihe Town of Hnlton Hills The Town rejected a site near the downtown area of Georgetown although It was heavily lobbied by merchants from the district Also our government offices are stretched throughout Ihe town and a considerable amount of lime la being wasted by not consolidating our municipal departments Citizens forum Political gouging by members Re MP Ridiculous When is political gouging of the public going to end With postal rate increases forever on the rise Ihe public continue to be the scapegoat while MP enjoy free moiling to lout their propaganda Most popular in this Otto who sends his political dribble to thousands of rcsulmls in his ruling at least three times per ear Even private enterprise have to pay the going rate for junk mail If we were to calculate each peicc of an MPs mail at M cents ll per had weighed at the pO multiply it by the thousands mailed and again consider each and every MP who docs similar gouging am sure our postal deficit could be lowered considerably Is it not enough that thce retire with a considerable pension enjoy many other privileges
