CORRECTION Briefly, Acton/Regional Councillor Clark Somer- ville considered returning bags of garbage that had been discarded near the Wallace Street Park to the front lawn of a Rockwood address that he found on a hydro bill in one of the split open bags. Somerville, his niece Megan Somerville, Coun- cillor Jon Hurst and Mayor Rick Bonnette found the garbage bags, along with a bicycle and TV, while they were taking part in a Town-wide cleanup last Saturday. Somerville said he was angry enough to want to return the garbage to its owners, but calmer heads prevailed and now he hopes that the McLelland Street idiot who dumped the garbage reads this arti- cle. He also noted that every year hed been involved in litter cleanup in the rural area, whenever he found information that would identify the illegal dump- er, it has been a Rockwood or Wellington County resi- dent. The only reason I can figure out is because they have a bag tag system where they have to pay for garbage (pickup) that wayso they take it to the next county and dump it and let it be our problem, Somerville said on Mon- day. While figures for the amount of garbage and debris collected on the weekend has not yet been tallied, those involved said the situation with illegal dumping has not improved from last year when more than 8.5 tonnes of garbage, two tandem trucks full of scrap metal, one tonne of household hazardous waste and two tandem truck loads of tires were collected during the annu- al Town-wide cleanup. Idiot dumps garbage Watch dogs work Dogs scared off would- be thieves who broke into a Mill Street East residence last Tuesday. Although items were moved in the house, nothing was stolen. False gun report Students who reported a friend was firing a gun prompting the lock down of two Milton Schools for 45 minutes on Tuesday morning were mistaken. Halton police report the alleged gunshot sounds were made by three cans POLICE BEAT of aerosol spray that ex- ploded in a small fire set by approximately 15 teens in a wooded area near E.C. Drury High School. No charges are antici- pated and there were no injuries. Acton man charged A 62-year-old Acton man has been charged under the Employment Standards Act with six counts of fail- ing to comply with orders to pay $63,572 in unpaid wages owed to 68 former teenaged student lifeguards who worked for his pool supply company in 2007 and 2008.
