Festival another resounding success BY MAGGIE PETRUSHEVSKY The New Tanner This year's Leathertown Festival was the best yet, says coordinator Josie Bonnette. "I've been coordinating the festival for five years," Bonnette said, "and this is the best one since I began doing it." Sunday's crowd was a record breaker with an estimated 10,000 people show- ing up for an afternoon of fun in the sun in Acton's Mill Street. The figure hand- ily tops the 7,000 to 8,000 spectators from previous years. 10,000 jam Mill St. Vendor numbers too, were up with 168 vendors in attendance, not including about 10 people in the Artisan's Corner and more than 30 entries in the car show, Bonnette said. Bonnette said the two new festival events, the Acton Idol competition and the Leathertown Festival Ambassador contest went well and will be contin- ued. A cappella singer Daniel Nickolich, 11, of Milton won the first Acton Idol contest. The contest began with a Con- cert in the Park on Canada Day and attracted more than 20 entrants for the event. Nickolich, who has been singing since he was seven, was one of the five finalists from that original event, Bon- nette said. "He sang jazz that day," Bonnette said, "I didn't hear him Sunday but I was glad to see him win. He's a very talented boy." Dana Bowman, 10, of Acton was cho- sen as the festival ambassador. - Continued on page 8 Would deter potenial new industries By MAGGIE PETRUSHEVSKY The New Tanner To put it mildly, George- town Councillor Mike Davis doesn't think like his fellow councillors.

Eight of his ten companions verbally tore it to bits, and the silent pair weren't supporting him. After an arm-long list of whereases, Davis concluded his attack on builders who ignore stop work orders with a provision that town staff charge them as harshly as possible, take them to court and publicly broad- cast the names of convicted offenders. Attempting to justify his draconian bylaw, Davis said he was not interested in the well-meaning individual who just doesn't know any better and makes a mistake. He was after the big time builder who decides to break the rules for his own Continued on page 3 This 2005 Mazda3 GX Includes: v Powerful 2.0L 4 Cyl Engine v 5 Speed Manual Transmission v Power Locks: v Keyless Entry v 15" Wheels v Convenience Package v Air Condition v 60/40 Rear Seats v Steering Wheel Audio Controls v Engine immobilizer ANV/FM CD Stereo . __ 44 Wheel Independent Su: v lilvTelescopic Steering Right now Mazda is hotter than summer asphalt...
