A street named Hurst An 85-year-old Acton resident who died in Sept. 1992 will have a street named after him. Joe Hurst was the town clerk for the former * town of Acton and spent two terms on Halton Hills Council, beginning in 1974. He lived in Acton all his life, during which time he was very actively involved in the communi- ty. Hurst Street will be located in the Royal Legion development in Acton, near Fairy Lake. The deci- sion on naming the street was made at Monday’s Town of Halton Hills council meeting. Ratepayers ripped-of Councillor Marilyn Serjeantson insisted people in a proposed subdi- vision on Concession 7 in Esquesing Twp. should not be eli- gible for water because they will be * outside the urban boundary. Councillor Pam Johnston agreed with Sergeantson, adding residents in the proposed development would be cashing in on the work Sixth Line ratepayers did to get water to the area. Bruce MacLean, the town’s assistant planning director, promised to review proposed zon- ing by-law application which would allow a development in the tural area, and report back to coun- cil at a later date. Elliot demands silt control Councillor Norm Elliot demand- ed silt control be imposed on the Acto-Mon development in Acton. He stated during the the thunder- storm last Wednesday, water run- ning off from the development turned “chocolate brown. “I’ve seen thunderstorms before,” Elliot said, “but never one which had the same impact as this one.” Elliot was also concerned the development, which had initially been approved for 20 single family residential lots, was now designat- ed for 32 link homes and four sin- gle family units.

[Leadership race worth the effort! Editor’s Note: Despite six attempts to contact Mr. Turner, Halton Hills This Week was unsuccessful in getting the per- sonal comments of the erstwhile PC leadership candidate. We offer here some of Mr. Turner’s views. By Garth Turner Well, we had a heck of a week- end. In a steaming hot arena in Ottawa, about 10,000 delegates, observers, volunteers and media took part in the part in the process of choosing a new leader for the gone Conservatives and a minister. i was one of five candidates, and when the voting was over, I came. fourth. If that sounds like I didn’t do very well, nothing could be fur- ther from the truth. I had a great time. I got to stand on a national Stage and speak my mind. Saturday night, I spoke to those people - and the people of Canada - about the things which have been constant topics at our townhall meetings. That included eliminat- ing the deficit, helping small busi- ness, giving people more rights, cutting the size of government and increasing economic opportunity. I also explained that I knew from the start that my chances of winning were remote - but that simply didn’t matter. My goals 7 HOME SECURITY U2. ¢ Installed ¢ With minimum i $500 purchase at ree ar Georgetown Living Lighting e inginlcuone d family household We were to say those things to an audience of most Canadians and to prove that a backbench MP could mount a national leadership cam- paign, based on volunteers and donations, and make it onto the cA S ge. Pride washed over me as I saw those folks from Georgetown, Bolton, Burlington, Caledon and Acton there taking a hands-on part in the picking of the prime minis- ter. They were joined in my box on the convention floor by new friends from Halifax, Montreal, the Yukon, Newfoundland, British Columbia and other points from across Canada. Saturday night I was the first candidate to speak. Dorothy and I waited backstage for my cue. There was the make-up area, anda couple of couches and a mountain of technical equipment, TV moni- tors and cables. A 20-foot ramp connected the seating area from the thick curtain which opened onto the huge stage facing the crowd. T’d asked Dorothy to join me on stage right after my speech fin- ished, and a volunteer backstage was given the job of making sure she was taken to the curtain at just the right time. So when I finished talking and turned to greet her, I was surprised not to see her there - at least not for a few seconds. I learned afterwards that people had been busy watching the speech on the monitors, and they didn’t realize I was concluding until after it had happened. Meanwhile, Dorothy heard the roar of the crowd and ran in her high heels like a sprinter up the wooden ramp, through the curtain and then around the backdrop and into my arms. It seems certain to me now that our agenda - that which came from our meetings and your input here in Halton-Peel - will be moved along on the national scene. That, of course, was what this high-risk thing was all about. And it was sure worth it. We thank you deeply. Holmgren trial date set Values in etfect until June 30/98.
