Ward 2 councillor Kathy Graham urged council prepare the bylaw in an effort to create a similar ituation to that which exists in the City of urlington. l The Town of Oakville will draft a bylaw aimed a restricting adult video stores to certain areas of pwn, as well as prohibit variety stores from openly lisplaying adult videos. The proposal was approved ly town council Monday night. Librarian wants no 'Sex' on shelves yBARBJOY Wkville Beaver Sta, Graham said Burlington recently passed a bylaw at restricts the number of adult video establish- ents and their locations. As well, variety stores in Oakville library patrons who might be curious 'out the well-touted book, Sex, by rock star lawman, won't be able to borrow it from Oakville varies. Sex has been shelved...at least temporarily. main one dealt with the size of the book. It is too Ee (ll 1/2" by 14") and would require a non-stan- 1'd shelf location with other oversize books; its spi- l binding would suffer from frequent use and the I sic CD the book contain? would require special dling and container. "Given all these factors, the cost to equip and han- , the item was considered significant and added Pstantially to the initial purchase price," noted es. "The loss rate on this type of item is usually her than average." A second reason for the non-purchase of the book In a recent memo to the Oakville Public Library oard, Director Eleanor James gave two reasons for E decision not to purchase Sex in its present format. "Don't underestimate (Environment Minister Jean) Charest," he warned.

Revenue Minister Otto Jelinek dispelled any notions that the federal Tory leadership race is over before it has even started. "It's not going to be a cakewalk for (Defense Minister) Kim Campbell that I can assure you, said Jelinek, adding the national media has given her a free ride so far and has gotten "carried away" with her popularity.

So far, however, there has not been a great call for it. Indeed, there is an apparent groundswell against it. When the library was considering purchasing Sex last fall, the library received three written and several verbal requests for it. As well, several people wanted to know about its possible purchase without giving any indication as to preference, one way or the other. However, with greater media involvement after November, public interest burgeoned and, since then, 21 people have voiced their opinion that the book not be purchased. They contended that they disagreed with the content, or that taxpayers' money should not be spent on it, or that it should not be in a place accessed by children and/or youth or that it was not fitting to have it in the library's collection. Should the library board consider purchasing it, two people have indicated their interest in making a presentation to the board. "We want a controlled environment where adult movies are rented." Graham said. She said the town can restrict adult video stores to industrial areas of town through its zoning bylaw. Graham said the bylaw would be aimed at control- ling and regulating existing operations and hopeful- ly preventing others from locating within the town. "There are two (adult video stores) currently in Oakville. But at least we'd be preventing an influx of them," she said. Burlington are now required to provide a rather than full display of adult videos, she " "It will be a very tough contest, very tough." predicted Jelinek. The 52-year-old cabinet minis- ter said although he "loved and adored" Campbell, she has got to come out with more depth than she did in her initial Kitchener speech. And he dismissed any idea that he was not running because he would have lost, "Who says I couldn‘t have won? If I'd gone in I'd have gone in to win. That's just nonsense." said Jelinek. following his remarks at an Anniversary of Confederation Awards Ceremony honoring 45 people in Oakville and Milton for their commitment to the community.
