A Notice of Motion from Acton Councillor Mike OLeary to object to the ap- plication lost on a 6-5 vote decided by the mayor at a recent Council meeting. Mayor Bonnette suggest- ed they get a full staff report and digest the information provided that night by the proponent, before deciding the issue. Bonnette will also write the Minister of Environment asking for more time to comment on the application. While the oil to be re- covered from machines at the plant is described as non-PCB waste, it actually could contain PCBs up to 50-parts-per-million. Acton Councillor Mike OLeary, who said they owed it to citizens to slow down the process, filed a Notice of Motion objecting to granting of the provi- sional certificate. He noted the final site plan had not been filed, and there was no time for staff or the Town Environmental Advisory Committee to comment. Led by Georgetown Councillor Moya Johnson, who said the Notice of Mo- tion was a bit reactionary, Council voted to defer it until a staff report is avail- able. Plaza uses expanded... Continued from page 1 At Council on Monday, Mayor Rick Bonnette asked staff to investigate if four mature trees on the property could be saved. retail buildings and a bank at the corner of Highway 7 and Tanners. One of the conditions im- posed by the Town restricts the size of stores selling clothing or accessories un- less a market impact study is done. Halton asked the Town to put a hold on the zoning approval that cannot be removed until confirma- tion that there is water and wastewater capacity avail- able. Water capacity equivalent to use of five single-family houses has been allocated to the property, but the equivalent of 12 houses is required. Staff said until a site plan is submitted, it cant be determined if there is adequate water for the development. The plan requires Rinarin to landscape and buffer the site, it bans outdoor storage and sets parking require- ments. HUB HAPPENS: Students, politicians, social workers and educators joined in a ceremonial sod turning for the new Acton Community Hub at McKenzie-Smith Bennett School on Monday. Construction of the $450,000 facility, which will bring a variety of services under one roof in a building attached to the pool end of the school, should be complete by May. Frances Niblock photo Youngster bitten by dog By Frances Niblock A German Shepherd dog that bit a seven-year-old Acton newspaper girl on the arm remains a potential threat as it can still escape its Beardmore Crescent house, with the help of the owners two-year-old daughter who can easily open a child-proof- ing device on the front door. When the little girl opened the door on Friday afternoon, the dog, Mason, a 1.5-year- old Shepherd, bounded out of the house, past the owners wife and up three houses to where Serena Yakuse was delivering papers on her The New Tanner route with her grandmother. The dog ran past Serenas grandmother and latched onto the little girls arm. She was wearing a winter coat, but the dogs teeth scratched her skin, causing it to bleed. Serenas mother Cheryl Yakuse, who was in her car on the street, blew her horn to startle the dog, and as she got Serena into her car, the dog grabbed onto the grand- mothers coat and then the mothers coat before finally running home. It terrified all three of us, grandmother Florence Yakuse said on Monday, adding the next day she could still see the dogs teeth com- ing at her, but Serena is fine. The family spent most of Friday afternoon at the hospi- tal where Serena was x-rayed and treated for scratches on her arm. The family called police who confirmed the dog had all required vac- cinations. Yakuse is not impressed that the family has not done more to prevent the dog from getting out of the house and none of them want to walk on that street. Liz Bremmer, wife of the dogs owner, went to visit Serena and her family on Friday, offering apologies and hugs. She said Mason is a friend- ly family dog who plays with her two children. Hes a puppy and he stills runs and runs and because she was running, he thought she was playing, maybe, but I didnt see, so I dont know, Bremmer said on Sunday. I feel really bad. It was so fast Mason played around here for a second and I called him and he wouldnt come back I dont know exactly what happened, I think it was a grab, Bremmer said of Serenas injury. Asked how she will stop Mason from getting out of the house again, Bremmer said I am guarding that dog, and I even told my husband that I wouldnt want this to happen again, so if worse comes to worst, and we have to put him down, we will.
