"We took a look at all of the programs being offered in Acton and said, lets not du- plicate services and lets stick to our mandate,' " explained North Halton Mental Health Clinic manager Shelia Flynn Kingston in a recent inter- view. The new Acton Commu- nity Support and Treatment Team (ACSTT) is designed to provide a dedicated team to offer support to the ap- proximately 80 Acton resi- dents who have chronic psy- chiatric illnesses, some of whom live in the numerous group homes in Acton. e ACSTT approach is collaborative, consistent and co-ordinated and treats peo- ple needing the services as community consumers, not clients or ill persons. Two groups providing help to psy- chiatric patients help have also expanded their pro- grams recently by opening offices in Acton. Summit House provides case manage- ment and outreach services to Acton clients and Oakville Re-Entry Homes operates seven residents in Acton for people with long standing psychiatric disorders or dis- abilities. The members of ACSTT includes the Canadian Men- tal Health Association, The Halton Work Program, the North Halton Mental Health Program, Re-Entry Homes and Summit House.

As with the proposed creation of any new residen- tial lot in the rural area hydrogeological issues will play a critical role in Cana- dian Tire Corporation's ap- plication to expand the exist- ing Worden View subdivision by six residential lots. Although the company is still submitting required re- ports to the Town and Re- gion, it has already referred its proposed development to the Ontario Municipal Board -- the final word in develop- ment disputes. "Tt seems to be the way to go these days," explained Town planner Barb Koopmans in an interview on Friday as yet another devel- oper bypassed the Town and Regional planning process to go right to the OMB. Koopmans said the pro- posed development is con- trary to the Regional Official Plan, and while the Region hasn't taken a position on it, Canadian Tire's lawyers an- ticipate objections. Canadian Tire needs ap- » proval for an amendment to Region and Town -- the" Officials Plans and needs a zoning amendment. The Town will not process the zoning amendment until the fees are paid for the develop- ment on either side of Worden View between the balance of the subdivision and the Fifth Line. Five of the proposed lots are approximately one-and- a-half acres in size and the Both Canadian Tire Corpo- - sixth lot is over eight acres but includes the provincially significant Silvercreek wetland complex that must be protected. On the west side of Acton, MacMillan's frozen foods is thriving and owners Roy and Lynda Martin plan a major expansion this spring or summer. A proposed new pre-fab- ricated warehouse will be built at the Highway 7 loca- tion.

The proposed development still must go through a revi- sion of the Town's site plan. The green warehouse at MacMillan's was built seven years ago and doubled in size a few years ago. The pro- posed new building will dou- ble the size of that building, mainly to handle the rapidly expanding supply of cookie and muffin batter to groups who sell it in fund raising drives. 78 ONP/ANG/OND/ Beef $11.95 - 9/A\0/ONS St. Acton \ P/O) OG!
