10 THE NEW TANNER THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 2005 Council reviews closing part of Rock St. Guelph/Eramosa Council reviewed a request from Rob Drexler who owns Lot 87 and 88 in Rockwood which have a frontage on unopened Rock St., to close that portion of the street on which Lots 84 to 88 have a frontage in order to construct a driveway which would extend from Pasmore St. in a northeasterly direction up and across the frontage of the subject property. Mr. Drexler agreed to purchase that section of Rock St. in order to construct a driveway for access to a proposed single family dwelling on Lots 87 and 88 on Rock St., Rockwood. The Grand River Conservation Authority approved the application subject to the following terms: 5 That the applicant provide an erosion control and revegetation plan to be reviewed and accepted by the Grand River Conservation Authority. : = That the applicant provide a survey between GRCA land and fill slope to ensure no fill is placed on GRCA property. Councillors agreed the accompany- ing map with the request was confusing because the lots are now part of Lloyd Dyer Park. They noted Council wants to avoid future problems in the area which is undeveloped. The road allow- ance for Rock St. has not been opened for public use. Although Councillor Chris White felt there should be a public meeting on the matter most felt they should allow the purchase providing the purchaser look after all the costs involved. The Rock St. road runs between Richardson St. and Fall St. and is at the end of Inkerman and Pasmore Sts. Lt.-Gov. to present new Colours to Halton Police The Honourable James K.

To commemorate the completion of the 30" an- niversary of the Halton Regional Police Service a new Service colour has been developed which will be presented along with the Queens Colour. Halton Regional Police Honour Guard will be on parade as the new colours are consecrated by repre- sentatives of various faith groups. The Colours will then be "trooped" through the paraded police officers. The event will be support- ed by the Halton Regional Police Service Chorus and the Halton Regional Police Service Pipes and Drums. Although a few other po- lice services in Canada have received this honour, this is a unique privilege for the Halton Regional Police Ser- vice. Similar in appearance to a flag, the Colours are ceremonial and will be used by the Honour Guard when they represent the Service. The standard Canadian and Halton Regional Police Service Flags will continue to be flown at each Station. nen WN One omega elas salts 47) "ROBOT" TO DESCRIBE AN ARTIFICIAL WORKER? pice Berea Ce Aerie em PAAMSNY KCOS{201 imo hyaiar=ie SAY it in...

Guelph/ Eramosa Council Chips ) Councillors speculated there was little they could do about a letter of complaint Councillor Teressa Gibson Smye received complain- ing about newspapers being thrown in driveways every week. "In my opinion it's tan- tamount to littering because nobody ever whether you want it or not... it just gets chucked out the window of a passing vehicle, no matter what the weather conditions or how many are left laying in the street," letter writer Scott Legge said. Wellington has one of the most advance waste and recycling programs around so why do we put up with this unnecessary waste he asks, suggesting these who send it should pay a disposal fee like resident pay a sewer charge. RK Council received a letter of thanks from the Rockwood Farmers' Parade of Lights Committee thanking them for their support for the 12" an- nual parade. "The support of council and its employees is critical to the success of this event," the letter read. We should be thanking them, the other way around, quipped the mayor. KK Council was fully in accord with a letter the president of the Association of Munici- palities of Ontario (AMO) wrote to the Ministry of the Environment about potential law suits that may arise "over the enhanced powers of entry provisions under proposed changes to Section 15 of the OWRA. While you made it clear you understood the Bill was to target industrial discharges and not municipal facilities... we would appre- ciate réceiving confirmation that this Bill was not in fact intended to apply to munici- pally run facilities." ll, ahd Ivy Ritchie of Rockwood are cordially invitiag yoythshare their 60" wedding anniversary to be hele t Roekmosa Hall Sunday Jan. 23, 1:30 p.m. -- 4:30 pan g . and share their anniversary with them.
