Sunday, August 26th 2007 2:00 to 4:30 pm Located at the home of Brad & Lesley Bruce 5273 Wellington 125, RR#3 Acton Best wishes only please Happy 60th Anniversary Byron & Blanche Bruce Heather McFee-Cliss , Acton, at park with son Id love to swim here with healthy water, but every time we come here the wa- ter is bad and you cant swim in it. There were kids in there today, and thats not good. Warning signs arent stopping some people from swimming in the contaminated water at the Old Beach in Prospect Park. Would you swim there at any time? VOX POP Megan Paul, Acton, relaxing in the park with a friend I swam there when I was really little, but I wouldnt swim there now, even if there werent signs warn- ing it was unsafe because its gross and dirty and its too bad, because its a nice park. Jacek Jackiewicz, Bramp- ton, allowed kids to go in the water My kids are okay. They played a little bit on the shore they walked in but didnt get (their) heads wet. Im from Poland so I never had problem with bacteria. I never cared. Sherry Monaco, Milton fishing with her family Im sorry to hear its con- taminated its our first time here and its beautiful spot. Its a waste if they dont take care of the water problems now, before it gets any worse. DRIVE IN SERVICE: The Salvation Army has switched Sunday services to the annual summer outdoor services Sunday evenings in front of Giant Tiger. The service, filled with music, can be viewed in the seats of their impromptu church, or one can just sit in a vehicle and enjoy it. - Angela Tyler photo A 57-year-old Acton woman is in Ham- ilton Hospital with severe, but not life threatening injuries following a collision with ah tractor-trailer and tanker truck at the intersection of Regional Rd. 25 (Hwy 25) and 5 Side Road on Friday, Aug 10, at about 10:35 a.m. Halton police said the woman was trav- elling north on 25 in a 1995 Oldsmobile Aurora when a 2005 Kenilworth transport truck attached to an empty tank trailer trav- elling south, executed a left turn to go east on 5 Side Road when tit struck the car. The force of the impact trapped the lone occu- pant of the car in her vehicle. She had to be extricated from the vehicle by members of the Milton Fire department and was taken to Milton District Hospital. She was later transferred by air ambulance to Hamilton General Hospital. The truck driver, 27-year -old Lee Arm- strong of Nobleton, was not injured and he has been charged. Police said their investi- gation indicated the truck was executing an improper left turn, which was the contribut- ing cause to the collision. Acton woman airlifted to Hamilton after 25 collision Hal ton Region and Oakville Hydro Energy Services Inc. (OHESI) have reached a major milestone in a joint green energy project to capture landfill gas and generate electric- ity. The Landfill Gas Collec- tion and Utilization Project is a partnership between Halton Region and OHESI that is now generating as much as 2.1 megawatts of electricity, enough green power for up to approxi- mately 1,500 homes. This partnership is a suc- cess on many levels, the Region notes Together with Oakville Hydro, we are turning an environmen- tally undesirable product into green energy. In doing so, were also eliminating the equivalent of nearly 80,000 tonnes of carbon di- oxide that would otherwise be released into our air. Its tremendously positive for the environment and for the consumer. The project consists of two phases that build on one another. To achieve Phase 1, the collection of the landfill gas, Halton Re- gion has installed over three kilometres of piping within the buried waste at the Halton Waste Management Site (HWMS)to allow the gas to flow, under vacuum, from the landfills interior to the Sites first-ever en- closed flaring system. The gas collection and flaring process reduces odour at the Site, as combustion of the gas renders it virtually odourless. Phase 2 is a gas utiliza- tion system constructed and operated by OHESI to generate electricity from the landfill gas collected by Halton Regions system. Preliminary construc- tion activities for Phase 2 started in early September 2006. OHESIs landfill gas utilization facility is now generating and transmit- ting green energy to the power grid, derived directly from the Regions landfill gas supply. By design, the landfill gas collection system can be expanded in the future to accommodate additional capture of methane-rich landfill gas as the remain- ing landfill space is filled up, building on the ben- efits of the current project. The potential to increase green energy generation will also grow with each future expansion of the landfill gas collection field, allowing continued respon- sible use of this renewable resource.
