Whether the artist's conceptual plan will ever be a reality, in large part, de- pends on negotiations cur- rently underway between Blue Circle and Halton Re- gion over the future of Re- gional Road 43, which bi- sects the q : Blue Circle would like to oo road, divert it around the quarry and after total rehabilitation, the Town would own the land. Hydrogeological studies are now being done to determine what impact the various road options would have on ground water. A progressive rehabilita- tion plan for the quarry was one of the conditions of a deal between the Town and then- owner United Aggregates Limited, to stop the dump. In the meanwhile, Blue Circle is trying to be a good neigh- bour to area residents who, along with the fear of a dump, had past complaints about speeding trucks, dust, noise and blasting damage, ignored. "Blue Circle answers our calls, listens to our concerns and deals with our problems and that's very different from our relationship with the pre- vious owners," said former quarry liaison member, Limehouse resident Rob Barlow, adding Blue Circle seems to have a better han- dle on resource manage- ment. Blue Circle's lands man- ager MalcolmBarr thinks the entire aggregate industry has an undeserved bad reputa- tion and points to the Royal Botanical Gardens in Ham- ilton as a prime example of a successfully rehabilitated gravel pit. "Aggregate extraction is an interim land use and there are some very interesting af- ter uses that have been de- veloped including housing subdivisions, golf courses, conservation areas and sports fields," Barr said, call- ing aggregates the "founda- tion" that Ontario's economy relies on. "It's a primary, low cost component in roads, high- way and housing and almost every job in Ontario makes use of or depends on the ag- gregate industry," Barr said during a recent tour of the Acton quarry. "People have to under- stand that if they would like to maintain their standard of living -- if they want the in- WAITING HIS TURN: A trucker waits his turn to be loaded at Blue Circle's Acton quarry. - Frances Niblock photo longing to the YMCA.

Blue Circle, a heavy con- struction business based in the United Kingdom, pur- chased the assets of St. Mary's Cement, including the Acton quarry, in 1996. The company currently has 51 licenced pits and quarries and the Acton quarry is its largest facility and one of the larger quarries producing crushed stone in Ontario, mainly for the construction industry. The quality of the dolostone deposits left south of Acton by the glaciers and the proximity of the quarry to the biggest construction market in Canada -- the GTA ~ Means the Acton quarry will play a large role in sup- plying an ever-increasing demand for product. Several months ago Halton Hills Mayor Marilyn Serjeantson asked for an up- date on the quarry rehabili- tation plan.

The bread pud- ding was great as usual. Our cruise trip is sold out. Watch for more trips. Don't forget the breakfast and Travelogue on Tuesday, July 20 at 9:30 a.m. On Monday, August 9 we are having an Outdoor Games Afternoon from 2 to 4. Cost $1. Refreshments in- cluded. Should be a great af- ternoon of horseshoes, bocce, lawn darts, golf putting, bean bag baseball, etc. I forgot to mention that Lois Walker told me Nick and I could ride home in the limo with her and her hus- band. (The big winners get a limo ride home.) We met them at 4 at the door and they told us we had to take the coach home. The offer is still good for next time. Wish them luck. Our usual card games, darts, carpet bowling, fun and fitness, shuffleboard, bingo and Friday lunches are going on all summer. Our lunch this week is a barbeque at 11:30.
