Following is a letter to New Tanner columnist Mike OLeary, filed with The New Tanner: We never miss your column, always very inter- esting to read, 95% of the time we agree with you. On your column July12 Whats that rattling sound? we disagree 95%. We also hear a rattling sound, and we think it is actually coming from Mr. OLearys head! (Our opin- ion for all it is worth) The only good thing Mr. Rae did was to put up the Photo Radar. The only bad thing Mr. Harris did was take it down. Re: Cash grab, only the speeders paid. No money was taken from us, we do not speed. What the Liberals put in instead is most cer- tainly cash grab, everyone pays the Health Tax. We do not use the 401 very often, but when we did use it and the Photo Radar was up, people did slow down. Now, when we drive the 401 we are very nervous seeing all the speeders fly by. Once we just about ended up 6 feet under, if it hadnt been for fast re- action and good brakes it would have happened. A truck came flying and sat on our tail, he then passed us on the inside and cut us off. Then he was gone. We had no time to read his plate or which company he drove for. We firmly believe that Photo Radar will save lives. Hardly a day goes by when we do not see pile up of cars, people getting killed even in towns. How can that happen, if people arent speeding? This is just the way we see it. P.S. The other night we watched the News on C.T.V. of people being asked about the Photo Radar. 64% were in favour of having it set up. We are happy we are not the only nuts regarding this issue. Not all people owns a cell phone, and how attentive are you on the highway as you make calls to the OPP on your cell phone? Hans & Grethe Mikkelsen, Rockwood. Editors note: We disagree too, so does my wife.401 was much more pleasant who Photo Radar was in place. To the editor: Hydro One is attempt- ing to have their Bruce to Milton Transmission Project approved. I am willing to accept that Ontario requires more transmission capacity and that Bruce One and Two are returning to service. Thus, they claim, the line must be built. I add that the project should include built-in pro- tection against outages. In fact, there is a well estab- lished, proven technology that satisfies all these without new transmission lines. Now the industry standard world wide, it has been ap- proved for other Hydro One projects across Ontario, but not for this one. I offer this loose anal- ogy for comparison: the alternate technology as a household electrical system with insulated, grounded wires and circuit-breaker panels. The transmission line as pre-1940s household elec- trification. Bare, ungrounded wires, strung through glass or ceramic insulators, nailed to wood either within or on the walls, and a fuse box. (This technology still exists in many third world loca- tions today. However, these areas are striving to bring their lowest to highest tier electrification to the present. Capacitor enhancement for all more recent transmission lines and all new transmis- sion lines, where these are absolutely necessary.) Why is Hydro One so hide- bound and resolute in their desire to saddle our new house with 1930s bare wire and fuse technology? Lastly, the capacitor enhancement is but 15 to 30% of the $630 million cost of a new, un- protected, transmission line, which we will all end up chipping in for. Chris Aristides Pappas, Rocklyn, On To the Editor, I was surprised when I was back in Acton this week to read such an attack on a local business that was, in my mind, unfair. The article by Francis Niblock on noise from Tanners Pub seemed to be a personal at- tack against the management. Using an unnamed person is akin to the antics of tabloids like the National Enquirer, not our hometown paper! It must have been a slow news week. Was this a story worthy of an almost full page expose compared to the tragedy of a Rockwood couple that was recently killed and was located in the back of the paper? I also notice that the one neighbour who would give their name said that at least Tanners was complying with the noise bylaw by stopping music by 11 PM. I have seen the management be strict with not having groups play- ing past 11, even when all the patrons are asking for it. I am sure it causes them lost reve- nue having to stop playing so early on a Friday or Saturday night. I have also seen them asking the musicians to turn down the volume, and adjust- ing the speakers. All things the unnamed neighbour says they do not do. In the pages of The New Tanner there have been photos of Tanners Pub do- nating money to charities and groups in Acton. They are like the other bars and restaurants and businesses in the area and give back to the community. Good for them! Why not highlight the good deeds they and others do in Town and not kick them unfairly! Each time I am back home in Acton I look for their ad here to see who is playing. I also seem to recall this same reporter going after other bar/restaurant owners in the past. It begs the question as to whether she has a problem with establishments that serve have alcohol and enter- tainment. Maybe she should try to be a bit more subjective and do more research before filing such unfair and one- sided stories. Shame on the Tanner for publishing it. Ruth Eddolls Toronto (formerly Acton). Edi tors note: Every- one knows how to run a newspaper except those in charge.- quote To the editor, In response to your article re locating the fountain, I would like to suggest a pride of place in front of the Seniors Centre at the Acton arena. Since the fountain dates back to 1921 it is entirely possible that families of the seniors are responsible for its purchase in the first place. I believe that our seniors will give it the respect and care it deserves; its placement at this location will also service the users of the new skateboard park, the arena and the soccer pitches. The fountain could signify the joining of the old town with the new. Respectfully, Maureen Andrew.
