THE NEW TANNER THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1998 Bins may be removed Continued from Page I Acton councillor Rick Bonnette, who championed the Igloo program for rural residents, said the wanton vandalism was a slap in the face to everyone who is work- ing for a cleaner community. "I still support the concept of a recycling program for tural residents but how much money are we supposed to spend to keep replacing these Igloos?" Bonnette said last Thursday. "But before I'd go CALL ME CHIEF: Eric Niblock, 5, enjoys tagging to bat for the whole program I want to know what the costs are to run it and replace the Igloos." The Igloo program has an annual budget of $150,000 and runs at a defi- cit.

With 1.8 collisions per 10,000 resi- dents during the week of May 31 to June 7, Halton Hills had the fewest accidents in On- tario central region, but it was still too many for Halton Health Department spokes- person Maggie Connolly.

A 1996 health department injury report showed that deaths from motor vehicle accidents in Halton Hills were twice what expected and the number of hospital- izations following collisions were 50 per cent higher than they should have been. "We need to build on this success to make our roads safer and the Halton Injury Prevention (HIP) committee is working towards that with a risk reduction program," Connolly said. Halton Hills Road Chal- lenge chair Keith Black, who sits on the HIP committee, said he was thrilled with the third place finish but was even more happy to see that the local community, the po- lice, fire department, Town, Region, health officials and schools worked together on the road safety week. "Everyone co-operated and pulled together to make the week a success," Black said, adding that he hopes the OPP seat belt Convincer will be on hand at Acton's Leathertown Festival on Aug. 9, so people can see what happens when they have a crash and don't wear their seatbelt. As well, a ra- dar message board, which lets passing drivers know how fast they are going can be borrowed by local groups. SENIORS' Rec. Crr.

"Personally, I'm all for preservation but when you come right down to it we have compelling needs all over the whole town and we don't have the money," Serjeantson said in an inter- view on Friday, adding that they are paying $450,000 a year for the debenture for the new arena. Serjeantson said a com- mittee is looking into Town- owned facilities and all of the competing needs, but could not say if the committee's report would be ready before the old arena was torn down.
