the HERALD Home Newspaper of Hills- Established 1B66 A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Guelph Street Georgetown Ontario DON Publisher and General Manager DAN TAYLOR Advertising Manager Fair and thorough review is needed Page SECTION A THE HERALD Wednesda IBM See you at the fair This weekend marks the running of the Georgetown Fall Fair and a lot of fingers are crossed in hopes that the inclement weather of last year won make a return appearance There are few festive events in any community that can compare with the longevity that local fairs have enjoyed over the last century and a half Prior to last year s fair there was some question as to whether or not the annual tradition would be able to con due to sagging interest something many other com mumties have had to contend with as well However the people who took up the cause have done a remarkable job of reviving the local fall fair and renewing interest in a big way Even last year s rain didn t have the far reaching catastrophic effects some may have expected Despite the cancellation of several feature events the fair came off as a success Indeed the Georgetown Agricultural Society had done what they set out to do and the outlook became positive People have their own soft spots that draw them to the fall fair each year For some it s the rides others enjoy the games of chance and still others go for the tradition of the exhibits which have been the mainstay of the fall fair for ages But the important thing to remember for whatever reason you go to the fair is that the fall fair is a event staged by the community for the community The hard work is being done by those in the community who care enough to give their time and efforts so others can have an enjoyable weekend For the rest of us all that is asked is that we attend the fair and take advantage of the entertainment set up for our benefit And that not asking a great deal when you stop to think about it Consider the effects It is encouraging to see an increase in the number of peo ple taking interest in the proposed Acton quarry landfill hearings But there is always room for more Now is the time to find out what the effects of having a landfill situated at the quarry site will have on the lm mediate area not 10 years after it is in operation People in Halton Hills can be excused if they feel they are being buried by the information being circulated on landfills After all there is the local picture the regional picture and the governmental and private sectors involved in the big business of garbage It can be confusing at the best of times People can find themselves inundated with technological jargon and facts and figures that seem insignificant when they appear on a drawing board But make no mistake A landfill will not be put into use without there being significant effects to those who live near it Now is the time to sort out whether or not the changes and disruptions brought about by a new landfill will be ceptable It won be enough in or 20 years from now to say Well we had no idea it was going to be like this You have the opportunity to find out what it is going to be like but at the same time you have to take the initiative to study the issues now Sort out the difference between the solution to the regional garbage problem and study the implications of a proposed landfill site that could go into use in your backyard Take a look at the big picture while youre at it and delve into Energy From Waste proposals This is another facet that will have a big part in the over all scheme of things There were about people who turned out to a meeting on the proposed Acton quarry landfill last week at the Alcott Arena and this was one of the largest crowds they have had for the series of meetings But that seems an insignificant number when one con siders the masses who could be affected by a new landfill Whats in store at the polls though they may have a small lota at loyalty Tor a particular Candida let him go out and find two other eligible voters who have different ideas on who should be elected With three different votes for the three major parties there t be any need to go to the polls because the vote would be cast Tor naught anyway On the municipal side would be more difficult given the number of council members who have to be elected But that not saying some rt of system t be devised thai would have the same implies Have you ever slopped wonder how much energy is used for people to get their polling stations and cast Iheir vole It must be incredible to think about the number of litres of gasoline used lo gel out and vote And thai not to mention the extra energy used at the churches and schools where the polling stations Is this something worth thinking No of course not It is our right and privilege to cast our vote and have a hand in deciding on those who will represent us in government and Ibe cancellation of votes is not adhering to the proper spirit of what a free vote means Naturally such a system would never work Then on the other hand it could be that half the population Is already employing this system and Ihey just haven I seen fit to tell the rest us That would certainly account for the low voter turnout that prevails at most elections regardless of the level of government Boggles the mind doesn it The rnergy Ministry decision lo set up an Independent review of relative oust nuclear is a Assuming of course that il is But not some thug know its terms if and perhaps review report Itself is available of nuclear costs was made by a Technical Advisory Panel I Energy Minister Boh Wong Editors notebook ry Mike Turner Herald Election fever is beginning to pick once again sort of Everyone should at least be aware thai there are two elections on the way even If the word of the excite ment I exactly on everyone lips This time around malters should turn out be nothing short of mind boggling given the fact that the federal elections will be Nov lor so the rumor mills suggest and the municipal elections will be a mere week later If else this lime around should provide some benchmark as to how seriously people In Ontario take their politics Will be a big turnout for the federal election Or will voters in Ontario set their priorities closer to home and make sure get out to choose the local representation Ihey want to see in power Or for that mailer will people turn out in droves for both elections suggesting they don t feel any letdown from their first trip to the polls or will most Just say to heck It and let God swill be done Time will tell of course But there may be something else lhat could be considered Supposing voters were allowed to cancel out voles It would seem to be simple enough for the federal elections- If someone feel they wish to ex right to vote even Queens Park Derek Nelson government udvlsc ll ubuul On projected encrgj of the It ell ttiL wire too low the call for an independent in Hydro argue tun

the flowing Ihe James Bay lowland Hydroelectric dams would drown thousands of square miles in that bogey low lying country disrupting Indian communities and local wildlife as well as requiring transmission lines over a distance the equivalent of Toronto to Florida It is how inquiry decides to quantify such aspects of each type of power generation that will moke It so Interesting There is no question that nuclear is both the safest and Bui if the costs ore wrong Hence Ihe need for the inquiry And lhat fine as lone as the in qulry mandate t slanted anil nuclear from the start Along that

third more expensive The panel warned that Hydro calculation of nuclear costs was so much lower than that of competing means of generation that oiler natives would be dismissed of Citizens forum
