a substantial amount of money has lasted two months with no conclusion in sight Sergeant Carey Smith media relations officer with the force said theres been no talk about the case concluding He explained the missing money is comprised of unpaid fines that turn into committal warrants which are collected at police stations across Halton The money from each district is then transferred by the forces own courier to headquarters and then deposited into the forces finance bureau Police arent releasing details of the investigation but say the undisclosed amount of money has been stolen and not misplaced Somewhere along the line from when the money first came into police possession and before it reached the financial bureau it was stolen said Sergeant Smith The theft could have occurred anywhere along that line he said which indicates only police officers or civilians working within the department could have stolen the money Community Forum What does Earth Day mean to you Emma

Day is a day when everyone puts forth their best effort to clean up the environment Farmers upset with region proposition All Halton residents and not just the Regions farming com munity should be forced to pay for the protection of agricultural land said Bert Andrews Chair man of the Land Use Committee of the Regions Federation of Agriculture Monday Mr Andrews said if the Regions planning staffs sugges tion to eliminate farm severances and change the zoning of farm land from rural to agricultural to protect farmland is im plemented then farmers will bear the brunt of the cost said Mr Andrews He explained these farmland protection measures will reduce the value of agricultural land This fact coupled with the reality that farmers are going broke said Mr Andrews means the farmland in will come at the ex pense of the farmer Acknowledging there is no sim ple answer to protecting the Regions farmland Mr Andrews stressed Haltons entire popula tion must pay for the protection of farmland in Halton As it is local farmers are already operating at a disad vantage with neighboring agricultural communities and the global market municipal taxes are higher than those of neighboring agricultural communities As well operating costs for com- petiting farmers in other parts of the world such as Mexico are much cheaper he said farmers need to be bet ter compensated if area agricultural lands are to be pro tected he added The Region wont be making any decision on the farmland pro tection policies until the end of this year Turner schedules TV phonein show HaltonPeel MP
