Premier Peterson misled voters Home Newspaper of Halton Hills- Established A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Guelph Street Georgetown Ontario DON Publisher and General Manager Advertising Manager Phone SECTION A Wednesday November IB Olympic builders When we think of Olympic builders we tend to think of organizers and coaches sponsors and athletes But the Olympic movement isn just about human athletic achievement The Olympics is a world wide theatre for art and architecture Georgetown is most fortunate to have two top class firms participating in the Olympics in a different way theyre helping to build the Olympic Village that will reflect a spirit of high achievement P Graham Bell now known as P G Bell Division of Vicwest and both located on Armstrong Avenue are part of the Olympic ideal striving for stronger swifter and higher goals G Bell ventured out boldly in a bid to construct a classy yet strong porcelain enamel roof for speed skating facility The technology was not new but the design was but architects and employees of G Bell didnt back down from the challenge of providing a first class looking building Artcast well known for its art molds of statues and sculptures was called upon again to participate in part of Canadas legacy Readers will remember that it was not so long ago the John stuatue was given its bronze shape in Georgetown then shipped to Ottawa The statue molded by and being readied for the Olympic site is magnificent sure to mirror the spirit of athletic competition that we will see during the Games Two great builders have contributed to the overall sue cess of the Olympics Curiously they did so without becoming an official sponsor of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games Reduced access Copying unauthorized works is a great artistic rip off thats if you believe in Bill C60 and its amending rules governing copyright To the layman Bill means more government con trol reduced access to publications and films and a restrictive policy on our freedoms to enjoy art and literature The issue of copyright came up last week at the Halton Board of Education where Chairman Bruce is con enough to contact the federal government to stall the passage of the Bill Why the worry For educators there are fears that teachers wont be able to copy passages in articles books films or periodicals Copying poems onto a blackboard could be considered an infringement of the Bill Re playing videotaped segments of a news program may be curtailed under the new legislation The Halton Board of Education fears the lack of specifics in the Bill will undermine enforcement of those who copy an authors work One has to empathize with struggling authors and artists who see their works widely used but cant share in the pro fits from the popularity of the material But initiating a system where it would take an army of copyright police to enforce the legislation is harmful and counterproductive to both the consumer and the author In the end it will be those caught in the middle the school boards and the libraries who will bear the brunt of ensur ing the legislation is enforced This will increase man power costs and create a bureaucratic nightmare Artists do have rights as talented professionals working hard to produce original material And the government is on the right track in developing a strategy to protect authors who work under an antiquated copyright act But legislation must also protect educators and libraries from being burdened and stifled by an oppressive system which restricts usage for those eager to learn Drug awareness week Diary of a user HI I Dan I m chemically viars old I started drinking and using drugs when 1 was about 1 1 Before started using I was shy and self conscious 1 had a
