ACE ACHIEVERS: The exemplary attitude and effort shown by 28 Acton High Schools students earned them Acton Achiever awards at a ceremony on Friday at the school. Frances Niblock photo Acton High School honours its Achievers with awards Friday By Frances Niblock Twenty-eight Acton High School students, including the poster boy for persever- ance, the troubled girl who wouldnt give up and the students who are a joy to teach were honoured with Acton Achievers awards at a special ceremony be- fore the start of classes on Friday. As proud parents watched, the recipients many em- barrassed at the fuss and some yawning at the early hour were honoured for their hard work, willingness to help and good character. Principal Bert OHearn said the awards are special because they are created for students who deserve them and are nominated by their teachers. Katelyn Roesner, a Grade nine student was praised by her gym teacher, Mrs. Zaz- zara, for being positive and enthusiastic, competitive and compassionate, attri- butes that are invaluable and appreciated. Grade nine student Char- lotte DeSouza, who had a tough time dealing with the changes of high school, was honoured by teacher Don Evoy for the way shes dealt with the frustrations and challenges she has faced. Charlot te has been a classic example of an achiever not the top stu- dent with the highest mark, but somebody that deserves to be recognized for her ef- fort, Evoy said. Grade nine student Cindy Tyminski was nominated by her English teacher Mrs. Fleming who noted that English is not Cindys first language she is fluent in several languages but that didnt stop her from tackling Shakespeare and his crazy form use of English. Cindy took on the chal- lenge, and of all of the students, really seemed to understand what it was that Shakespeare was trying to say, and would not give up, Fleming said. Ryan Brunschwiler was described as the poster child for perservance, by his Grade 12 physics teach- er Mr. Braun who said Ryan did not give up when the work was hard. He could have easily just decided that he wasnt going to do the work and just give up, but he did not. He made it his mandate that he was going to do the best he could and he came in for helpthat work ethic and dedication, espe- cially when youre having trouble, is commendable, Braun said. Principal OHearn made the final awards to Grade nine students Slaome Hol- land and Tori Paterson, who were nominated by the office staff and top ad- ministrators for doing the morning announcements. They are enthusiastic. Their energy in the office every morning picks us all upand so, for their dedi - cation, their initiative, good humour, I want to present you with these awards, OHearn said as he gave each a certificate thanking them for their exemplary attitude and effort. New medical centre... Continued from page 1 Town Planner David VanderBerg said the ap- plications would allow for more uses than currently approved for the site. The site is currently zoned for light industrial use and a change to commercial zoning would be required to allow the two-storey, 16,760-square-foot build- ing with medical and dental offices, a pharmacy, caf and doctors residence. Dr. Alshakarjis planning consultant, Glenn Wellings told councillors the ap- plication is really good news and will provide the Acton community with an enhanced, full-service medical clinic. Wellings said his client supports suggestions to locate the building close to Mill Street, and shift it from it so the flank abuts Fellows Street, not Eastern Avenue as shown in the initial plan. Neighbour Peter Shultz questioned if the parallel parking shown on Fellows Street is required, because it would prevent using the garage at a house on the corner. VanderBerg said the plan is still at the conceptual stage and staff would look into the issue for the final site plan. Carle, president of North Halton Holdings which owns the Georgetown Medical Centre and other medical facilities in the GTA, said his concerns with the proposal include park- ing, the size and scope of the project and its economic viability. I believe that upgrading an older building will serve the community far better and more economically than building a new build- ing, Carle said. In a letter to Council, Carle said converting indus- trial lands to commercial use goes against Councils efforts to increase the indus- trial tax base. He said the new clinic wouldnt attract new physicians to Acton. As per policy, Council took no action on the ap- plication, but will debate its merits after staff prepares a report that summarizes pub- lic and agency comments.
