Kylie's feat, after also winning first place the Youth Bowling Council Bantam Girls singles championship, was honoured on Thursday night at the Town's 23rd municipal awards evening. The awards are designed to publicly recognize those in- dividuals and groups who have achieved excellence and fame at provincial, national and even world levels, bring- ing honour and recognition - to the Town of Halton Hills. Some 89 Halton Hills resi- dents and four teams were honoured - 12 of them had pare at the national level and two at the world level in various activities in- cluding arts, culture, recrea- tion, sports and academic pursuits. Acton's Devon Lambert's drumming skills were evi- dent as she helped lead dig- nitaries into the awards cer- emony at the John Elliott Theatre in Georgetown. Devon, 15, is a Grade 9 student at Acton High and a former member of the Georgetown Ladies' Pipe Band who now plays with the Milton Youth Band. She was honoured for her third place bronze in pipe band drum- ming in the Ontario cham- pionship at the Fergus High- land Games last August. Devon is one of the youngest recipients in a competition usually dominated by male drummers and also received the Louie Armstrong Jazz Award from McKenzie- Smith Bennett. Acton's Shane Adams was an imposing figure at the awards as he came dressed as a medieval jouster, complete with chain male, Adams, who later said that as a young boy he'd dreamed of being a knight, was honoured for be- ing named international champion of the American Jousting Association follow- ing a competition in Colo- rado last September. Acton's Kimberley Freeland, a Grade 8 French Immersion student at Stewarttown Public School, accepted an award for the Georgetown Children's Cho- tus which received national recognition after participat- ing in a Bank of Montreal commercial. The Chorus had also been chosen to take part in the Toronto production of Joseph and the Technicolour Dream Coat, but the show closed before the third run could be staged. Following the awards cer- emony Joy Thompson , the Town's Manager of Recrea- tion Services, said that that the successes of the award recipients are excellent for a cemuamney. the size of Halton Hills. Region wants car tariff to stay Halton Regional Council wants Ottawa to maintain the 6.7% federal tariff on im- ported cars,and has asked the federal government to re- verse a previous decision to remove the tariff on offshore auto parts. Regional Council ratified the position after con- sidering submissions from several industry and business groups over the past several weeks. "The automobile sector, particularly Ford Motor Company, is the main engine driving the economy of Halton," noted Halton Chair- man Joyce Savoline. "We recognize the signifi- cant and growing contribu- tion that the Japanese auto manufacturers and dealers are making to the Ontario economy, but until North American automobiles have equal access to offshore mar- kets we feel the tariffs are still needed." Many employees are from this town and dis- trict. The Halton resolution comes as the Federal Govern- ment conducts its Automo- bile Competitiveness Review process. The resolution sup- ports the eventual elimina- tion of tariffs; but recom- mends that no change should be made in the Most Fa- voured Nation tariff on fin- ished vehicles and parts un- til multinational trade nego- tiations are held.
