At the October 28 council meeting staff will report on KNOCK, KNOCK: Maureen Flynn, 1* time canvasser for the United demolition tenders that were submitted to the Town and councillors will also debate the plan jointly proposed by the Acton Agricultural Soci- ety and Heritage Acton to restore the building for use as a non-ice, not for profit community activity centre. At Monday's general committee meeting Fair Board treasurer Daniel What's Police seek help "3 Inside eo ee Varanelli renewed a request first made in April to coun- cillors to support the resto- ration by redirecting money earmarked for demolition to repairing the building. With roposed repairs pegged at $540,000 and a community fund raising goal of $300,000, Varanelli said they need between $150,000 and $200,000 from the Town.

As of January 1, the cable company will be only the sec- ond in Canada to offer dig- ital cable for its 14 so-called remium channels. A rebundling of channels means that people currently paying $9.95 per month to get-the Family Channel will get it, along with eight oth- Speed Vision, for $5.99 per month. "Our bulk buying allows us to offer more channels to our customers at better prices," Halton office man- ager John Ollivier explained on Friday. "We've guaranteed that we'll have digital cable and the new channels here by the ' first. of the year and if we don't make it, we'll give all our customers a free month of those nine channels. "Over 90 per cent of our customers have some speci- ality package and we think Ollivier said, adding the change to digital for the pre- mium channels will result in customers getting a new de- coder, at no cost. Beginning tomorrow (Fri- day) Western Co-Axial will add CTV Sports, the new re- gional sports channel to its Tine-up on channel 54. Early next year Western Co-Axial, which currently is a major Internet provider on . a dial-up service, is offering price deals for its cable cus- tomers and a cable-Internet service that will be 70 to 80 per cent faster than telephone "J do feel that your costs in restoring that building site to just a parking lot is going to be far more than might be expected...and from that perspective your contribution may, in fact, be less than it would be to demolish that building and restore the site," Varanelli said. While only Georgetown Councillor Ron Chatten said SC bomb | he wouldn't support the res- toration plan if it included Town money, most of the 27 questions asked of Varanelli came from Georgetown and rural councillors who zeroed in on the financial risk for the Town and the group's pro- posed operating budget.

Investigators want to talk to anyone who owned, re- paired or used a Smith Co- rona typewriter with daisy wheel font 10/12, number 59543. They also want any- one who might have dealt with Greavette in the water bottling industry to check their files for letters or in- voices that include the flawed C.. z Greavette, 42, was killed instantly in his Puslinch home on December 12, 1996 when he tried to turn on a flashlight that was delivered in a package with a letter to rural mailbox. The flashlight was rigged with a blasting cap, plastic explosives and roofing nails Greavette's 21- year-old son Justin, who had tried to turn the light on, was slightly hurt by flying debris when YEAR « which had a unique design not seen in Canada. Greavetie's wife and brother were also in the room but were not hurt. Police couldn't trace the package because the stamp had not been cancelled at the Acton post office, an over- sight police blame on a heavy volume of Christmas mail. OPP Detective Inspector Mike Coughlin said they be- lieve revenge was the motive for the callous and cowardly killing, but are unsure if it was revenge for love, hate or money.. Coughlin said -Greavette's previous mari- juana use and his "very ac- tive social life" had all but been eliminated as reasons for his death. "There were certainly things in his business life that would cause us to look at those particular areas," Coughlin said, adding that they have "a number of sus- pects," mainly in Ontario, who "have some commonality."
