CRUCIAL COUNTDOWN: Acton's Louisa Krasnay, a teaching assistant at St. Joseph's Catho- lic School, put the school year into perspective with one of her typical countdown signs earlier this week. Krasnay is credited with turning before-and- after school traffic chaos at the school into a care- fully orchestrated faster and safer pick up and drop Kathleen Tulk (who was vis- iting us from the West), old- est man and/or woman - Flor- ence Allen and Tom Given, youngest - Mary Walsma.

Aggressive Driving Campaign \/ @ es ¥ ee If Hydro has surplus money then we're paying too much To the Editor, I agreed with your edito- rial last week in The New Acton Tanner expressing outrage over the possible use of Hydro profits towards the new recreation centre in Geor- getown south. It is good to hear that our Acton councillors Somerville and Elliott voted against the idea. It's comforting to know that they' re both on the com- mittee that is restructuring Halton Hills Hydro. I did find it surprising that in the same issue a letter ap- peared from declared munici- pal candidate Steven Grasby supporting the idea of using hydro money to pay for the lands at McKenzie-Smith Kids care, too Following is a letter to Acton Baseball which was filed with The New Tanner for publication. The Halton District School Board is about to sell three acres of our land behind M.S.B. We are asking you if you think our land should be sold. the kids in 4/5 B.L.T. say, "no" because we will not be able to play baseball without the ball going into a backyard or the same with soccer. If they sell the few acres of our land for building houses we'll lose baseball diamond or soccer fields. We are asking many people in the town if they want this to hap- pen. The building space will take away from' our schoolyard. We know we are just a bunch of school kids but we The prizes - closest to 17" - arent Breen Tarthest" care about our school yard, [_ space for sports and our little , town of Acton. We need a good environment to play in. Ashley Hauler McKenzie-Smith Bennett Public School Bennett school. I don't know Mr. Grasby. He may be a good man. But if he's ever had to pay hydro bills it can't have escaped him that the cost of this necessity has continuously risen faster than inflation. If he needs money to pay for leisure cen- tres or school lands let him find it in a transparent way. My hydro bill states that I'm paying for hydro. If there's money left over that tells me I'm paying too much for hy- dro. Nowhere on my hydro bill does it say I'm paying for lei- sure centres and school lands. Give us a desperately needed break.
