the HERALD Home Newspaper of Halton HUls Established 1 A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Street Georgetown Ontario L7G 3Z6 Publisher Manager BOB Advertising Manager Second I Thanks to the gritty determination of a bunch of parents who believed in the project and the generosity of Acton businessman kids have a place to ride Last June on the Sixth Line in Hills a professionally constructed BMX bicycle cross course took form Since then growing numbers of local and girls have been racing there on Saturdays learning new skills and enjoying a sport that provides thrills for spectators and for the kids The benefits of a track of this nature are obvious It keeps youngsters off the streets where they might try dangerous tricks around traffic It promotes safety because the course is supervised and riders have to be properly equip ped The sport itself is a healthy one where kids burn off their energy and learn a bit more about the fascination Europeans have with the bicycle In adulthood they may continue to be pedal pushers But in the meantime there is a place for youngsters to come and learn compete and have a chance to develop their skills so that they may compete in races in other cities After the wedding Editors notebook Dear Even though Am is a of mine I still feel obligated to warn you No no It snot about how sings whin she doesn 1 think anyone is

Her chemicals could kill stun or maim any type of dirt grease grime animal bug neighbor or apart superintendent Somehow one chemical v is never enough The Pentagon would be envious When the local cancer society dropped for a donat i on she found us working in the garage She sold my that the cleanest garage I ve ever seen You should sec our house I said So you won win any battles about cleaning

Involuntarily chokes at the thought of my home made pizza Now she very trusts me with anything more than a boil in a bag dinner or frozen meat There s still the party circuit to discuss At parties men inevitably escape to a corner where they can gather for a breather and talk shop reminisce about their bachelor days talk sports or polities Not the women They II spend IK next few hours getting out their notebooks to compare husbands They II actively argue about which husband is the most unruly If things get dull the conversation might turn what solution works best to stop their husband from

nut worst in reporters What matters to this paper most is to be fair and ac curate How do we accomplish these goals Below are some of the guidelines Herald ters follow when filing stories during the cam paign Give the candidates equal opportunity it means talking to all par ties about the issues and giving each one a chant to make a comment Tell our readers what they want to know most this often comes un der the heading of editors discretion but involves knowing the community we work for and the concerns of or dinary citizens Its important for us to put to the candidates the questions we feel are the most important issues Some candidates will have better public relations machines dont have to use any or all of it but it can be a trigger to do follow ups with other candidates Balance This has to do with the selection of headlines and pictures where we place them in the paper It is impossible to use a measuring stick to coverage but we should strive to keep in mind that one candidate should not dominate the news pages over the cour se of the election cam paign Opinions should be kept to our page four page An editorial cypresses a collective newspapers opinion a column written by a or a letter written by a reader represents one view Rendu should take note of the difference especially during an elec tion Available to defend our coverage decisions make ourselves accessible to the public so they better understand what our strengths mid limitations are and why we do what we do Up and down hillside snow Sleighs and toboggans down Uiey go Some folks skate the ponds well Some make mow balls i they choose Trying to keep warm what Across the Ice the cold winter wind en as Some other countries do not Only rain mints that all they i know
