THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2003 THE NEW TANNER 3 Green Peace Co- -founder at P.O.W.E.R. annual general meeting Protect Our Water and Environmental Resources (P.O.W.E.R.), the group that initiated the fight to stop a dump planned for the Acton Quarry 15 years ago, is still alive and well. More recently they have been known for TREES 2000 which started as a Millennium project and developed into the ongoing Future Forests. The very successful eco- logical restoration project, Future Forests, has pro- vided over 6000 student day trips since the spring of 2000.

Hunter is an award-win- ning author, columnist and lecturer. Hunter says, "I have vis- ited 34 countries in my journeys around the world, have swum underwater with Dolphins, stood on ice in the path of an onrushing icebreaker, parachute jumped, dodged great white sharks and motorcycle gangs of whale factory workers in Aus- tralia, faced angry mobs in Newfoundland, founded a religion, run with the bulls in Pamplona, survived nu- merous storms and 'other near-disasters at sea while commanding a converted minesweeper in the North Pacific, stuck my head in a killer whale's mouth and have nearly drowned, or been stomped, run down, or crushed many, many times... and now I'm working for Moses on "CityPulse".

That's the question raised by a number of mem- bers of the Halton Regional Police Services Board during budget debates last week, as the Board approved a $70- million budget for next year, up 13.4 per cent from last year. That works out to a $168 increase for the average resi- dent for a policing bill per household of $473, an ever- increasing cost that some Board niembers feel the pub- lic will question.
