Algar cur- rently holds the position of Deputy Chief. He will as- sume duties as Chief of Po- lice effective January 1, 1999, replacing Chief Peter Campbell.

Zorba in Georgetown Canada's leading sculp- ture foundry has been com- missioned by famous actor Anthony Quinn to produce a life size sculpture of "Zorba" in bronze. Quinn played the lead character in the movie Zorba. Artcast artists-techni- ' cians, assisted Mr. Quinn with the enlarging of the sculpture entitled Zorba to life-size from a 17 inch model which Anthony Quinn had made earlier in his stu- dio. Quinn and his family visited Artcast in Georgetown on Oct. 29 where he worked with the Arteast technicians to final- ize the work and approve the Around Halton THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26,1998 enlarged version of the sculpture for casting. The Meier-Naef Gallery of Barrie is organizing an Anthony Quinn Art Exhibi- tion and Sale at the Columbus Centre, 901 Law- rence Avenue W., Toronto, from. December 5 to 20. Artcast has been casting sculptures for over 30 years in Georgetown. Milton Arts Centre Arts Milton is staging a major campaign to have an arts centre included in the Town of Milton's Official Plan. As a result of the an- ticipated surge in growth in the Milton area, councillors are developing a new Offi- cial Plan for the Town. "The arts are the soul of the community but for far too long our artists and ar- tisans have had to struggle to find a venue for their work," said Jim Douglas, president of Arts Milton. "We have been able to es- tablish strong support from the community for our work but we have had to make do with far less than perfect conditions for its presenta- tion," he added. Arts Milton believes that supporting the cultural core of the community is not just culturally and socially im- portant; it also makes good business sense. Firefighters working on new contract BY MAGGIE PETRUSHEVSKY The New Tanner Contract negotiations be- tween the Town of Halton Hills and its 80 volunteer firefighters have been ongo- ing for more than a year. Wade Vickery of the Acton Volunteer Firefight- ers' Association says the vol- unteers signed their last con- tract with the Town in 1992. Negotiators met Monday. "The negotiations are slow but we are continuing to meet," Vickery said. Chief Bill Cunningham said the 1992 deal was the last time arrangements be- tween the volunteers and the Town were formalized. These ongoing negotiations are "working toward a more structured agreement dealing with their compensation for the duties they perform." There are 35 volunteers working out of Acton's Churchill Road station and 45 at the Maple Avenue sta- tion in Georgetown. Pressures fora paid force have been "ongoing for a considerable period," Cunningham said, and noth- ing has changed about that. Those pressures result from the increased workload now facing the force. Not only do some of the volunteers work out-of-town, the ones who are locally employed may not be able to leave their job or may be putting an unfair bur- den on their employer be- cause of the number of calls they receive. When the department re- ceived one or two calls a week it was one thing, Cunningham said. But now that they may be called out several times a day the situa- tion is quite different. "Even volunteers who own their own businesses may be feeling the strain of the disruption to their sched- _ ule," Cunningham said.
