feheREi8ALDl Home Newspape of Hills TliblltHAin A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Si South I Second Clin Mail Regit feted Number policy foolish If children attending schools under the Halton school board jurisdiction followed the example set by their trustees they would drink pop sweetened with from litre bottles while flying in a and smoking a cigarette All of these things MAY be dangerous to ones health but apparently the Halton board requires definitive proof before they accept something is dangerous Last week the board dumped a motion from Oakville trustee Elsie colling for a slop to the boards use of the controversial herbicide D until it is proven harmless to humans The herbicide recently gained national attention when it was revealed that according to numerous studies 2 D has been jinked as cancer inducing chemical The herbicide is used by many municipalities and school boards furor arose across Canada as ratepayers and parents decided it t worth exposing themselves and their children to increased cancer dangers just to kill a few weeds Reports that may cause cancer have not gone challenged other reports have been publishing stating the her bicide is not cancer causing CerLiinly the safety of tin her is being questioned in scientific circles it indeed help cause cancer or it may be only as dangerous as other her We think the possibility D could be a inducing agent is enough to take every step to ensure children are not exposed to its potentially hazer dous effects If it is the herbicide does contribute to cancer it will be too late to undo damage done to local youngsters exposed to it because of school board spraying programs Milton trustee Bill disagrees w ith this type of thinking Although he is not a herbicide expert in speaking against Ms Hilson s motion he termed reasonably safe Reasonably safe just isn good enough it comes to the health of local youngsters Ms was right when she asked for the herbicide use to be discontinued until its safety is confirmed It is incredibly irresponsible for our local school board to risk their student s health until they are certain the herbicide will not be exposing them to the dangers of cancer t we taught in school its better to be safe than sorry It is Recreation report is tantalizing Us a good thing town council will be unveiling their new proposed master plan on recreation through a series of public meetings were sure people will want tosee with their own eyes how planned expansion of Hills recreation can be pulled off spending less than in past years Certainly the tantalizing outline of the new recreation plan revealed at last weeks planning board meeting sounds interesting enough Lets face it who wouldnt like to see more playgrounds hiking trails outdoor swimming areas complete with beaches a good soccer field and some outdoor arenas And the consultants who prepared the report insist the So long Tony You might notice a few long faces at The Herald offices this week as we say goodbye to our sports editor of almost two years Tony Tony will be taking over as sports editor of The Examiner a daily newspaper affiliated with The Herald One of the highlights of Tonys career at The Herald for him and the newspaper had to have been this spring when The Heralds sports pages under Tonys editorship were named best in Ontario in their class by the On tano Weekly Newspaper Association Tony also spearheaded the conversion of the Herald sports from their standard format to Its present Sports Week tabloid format Its a change we and our readers have been very happy with Tony and Georgetown resident Dave Kentner put their heads together last year and came up with the popular Hills Athlete of the Year award an on going event which based on its first two years of existence seems destined to carry on even without Mr at the helm Certainly Tony will be missed both by The Herald and his readers the Hills sports fans We wish the best of luck at his new post he leaves big shoes for his successor to fill recreation improvements can be implemented at a cost less than what has been spent by Hills on recreation in the last four Obviously the plan outlined in the report would represent a major departure and expansion of the type of recreation facilities currently offered bv the town As such it s very good the proposal will be well scrutinized by the community before it even comes close to implementation The town saw recently what happens when they pursue changes in recreation policy without con suiting Hills users after council endured a storm of con troversy when they raised arena rateb It sounds like the public meetings scheduled to discuss the will avoid such an outcry the public will be given their opportunity for input into the proposals before they come into effect We hoping local recreation groups and users will lake ad vantage of the upcoming public mectincs to make solid incut into the future recreation policies of the town It seems an encouraging aspect of the consultant report is the acknowledgement of the town current recreation program At last week s planning board meetings the consultants said the town recreation policies are sadly lacking in many aspects and dunng the past five years have not kept pace with Halton Hills growing While we seen the tip of in terms of the report recommendations it mentions recreation facilities to do little to beautify the community attract tourism or meet the growing needs of the community Just the bit of landscaping work done on the War Memorial Monument by the film in crew the Fairgrounds shows the towns can be more than just a patch green space Before coming to grips with the future of local recreation it essential that the past be seriously studied It sounds like the report will do this as well as provide some serious alternatives It seems probable that both the council and the public will have some concrete and meaty ideas to ponder in the next few months while consider Hills recreation future Lets hope it a fruitful experience Davis downplays damage of impending oil price hikes Queens AMI mi ihe to lliil it oppose hike in id il shmildni rmr
