What‘s In A Name? 2 VS. ETCETERA, etc. In 1985, Eddie introduced Eddie‘s Place, a casually elegant dining establishment for which many of you have since demonstrated your (much appreciated!) loyalty. In<the summer of 1993, Eddie decided that, to be in keeping with‘ the smartâ€" spending 90‘s, a name change for the restaurant would be timely. ETCETERA, etc. is our new name. But why? Many might wonder. Through the years, more than a handful of you had expressed the kindly concern that "Eddie‘s Place" sounded more like a roadhouse â€"a somewhat far cry from its tasteful decor and, in particular, from its eclectic cuisine. o | | ; § M ? ETCETERA, etc., so much more appropriate, spells out the culinary diversity . that sophisticated diners like you are looking for these days. Most of all, Eddie is keeping. the original menu, which is now called Traditional, while he unfolds a dazzling array of new dishes and new tastes, which he calls (and â€"you. will, . too!) Extraordinary! In the new name of ETCETERA, etc. and its new ambience, Eddie and his staff would look forward to offering you a great new dining experience in the New Year!

THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Jan. 12, 1994 Fire chief‘s fight for more men delayec By HOWARD MOZEL Oakville Beaver Staff While the Town is within its rights to delay full staffing of the Glen Abbey fire station, says Oakville Fire Chief Wayne Gould, it‘s a decision he would rather see sooner than later. "Nothing has changed to offâ€"set this need," Gould said at Monday night‘s 1994 Budget Committee meeting. Gould made his comments during the deliberaâ€" tions of the budget committee, outlining the danger and inadequacies of the current of threeâ€"man crew compromise. Unfortunately time ran out before the issue could be properly aired in public and was reâ€" scheduled to the Jan. 26th meeting. In the 1994 Preliminary Budget, Town Manager Harry Henderson recommended that the hiring of eight additional firefighters for Station #6 be postâ€" poned until next year instead of coming on board July 1st. By doing so, $176,400 would be saved this year. The issue has been a contentious one. In July 1993 â€" during its effort to meet Social Contract obligations â€" Council approved the hiring of 13 (out of 21) firefighters and referred employment of the remaining eight to the 1994 Budget Committee. Gould reluctantly agreed with the understanding the remaining eight would be hired this year. Now, it seems, the move may be delayed yet again. "(Hiring the firefighters) past 1994 causes me a ing positio great deal of concern," said Gould. The fire chief â€" who said he did not envy tt "enormous challenge ahead of the Committee" â€" nonetheless reiterated his longstan n on the need for the minimum requir ment of fourâ€"man crews at the station. Even the demolish ($15,000) Gould added, this falls short of the North Americ recognized standard of fiveâ€"man crews. The budget committee did have time to vote favor of $23,000 worth of ongoing preventi1 maintenance for fire stations and $24,000 : the old Rebecca Street fire statio Emergency measures operations centre equipme and $6,500 for critical incident stre counselling and emergency planning exercis were also endorsed. Budget cuts would ruin transit system (Continued from page 1) Willie Lambert, chairman of CAW Local 1256, warned Committee members the recomâ€" mended cuts would "dismantle and ruin" the transit system. "What we have isn‘t a transit sysâ€" tem, but a glorified carâ€"pool," said Lambert. Obsessing on deficit reduction is not the answer, Lambert continued, stressing the need to build the system into a service people will use and thereby generate more revenue. As for trimming offâ€"peak service, Lambert said more than just Torontoâ€" bound commuters rely on the buses all day long. + "If you don‘t take a briefcase and travel to Bay Street your transit needs are on the block year after year," he said. "We can‘t just deal with numâ€" bers, but deal with people." Lambert said the Town has failed to deal with the "environmental deficit" resulting from people abanâ€" doning Oakville Transit and putting more cars on the road. "We won‘t have any transit to worry about if we lose the ozone layer," said Lambert, adding that cuts may also effect drinking and driving habits as well. 6% { 200 1.36 LlTRE BOTTLE THESE LOW ~PRICESâ€" _ 675 GRAM BREAD /8 ROLLS The final insult, however, was jacking up the cost of riding a system which Lambert feels is falling apart. "If we increase fares without improving service ... we‘re asking something for nothing," he said. Ward 6 councillor Jim Smith argued in favor of the fare increase, saying those who use the service should pay for it. Ward 5‘s Liz Behrens countered by saying higher fares penalize lower income riders who can‘t afford cars and insurance, but who rely on the buses just the same. In a related matter, Ward 5 counâ€" cillor Sean Weir asked staff to report back before the end of the budget process on the feasibility of impleâ€" menting a charge for GO Train comâ€" muters who comprise over oneâ€"third of Oakville Transit‘s ridership. At present Ministry of Transportation subsidies allow them to ride to the GO station for free. In one of the evening‘s ra humorous moments, the Committ mulled over a recommended $1,2( for passenger benches. Ward 3 cou cillor Keith Bird said that in light cutting back offâ€"peak service to : hour, the least they could do was gi riders somewhere to sit while th wait. Unfortunately the vote was tie delaying a final decision to a lat date.
