THE HERALD WedoeMhy lm Classic car cruise and his wife Suzanne stand In front of heir 1957 Ford Fairlane during the Classic Car Cruise at Georgetown McDonalds restaurant on Saturday The event drew many different vehicles from around the area including a Ford Panel Delivery Truck and a Mercury The exhibitors often take their vehicles to many shows around On lario with many of them going to another event in Owen Sound this weekend Herald photo Alternating sites considered by Highland Games Assoc The Georgetown Highland Games Association is still trying to determine why the annual locally based June Scottish festival lost this year said association treasurer Colin Mr along with the ex three other members decided after a meeting last Thurs day that the loss should either be to poor weather the night before the festival or the high cost of inviting championship piping bands to participate in the festival This the second time in two years the festival has lost money said Mr This year the group spent almost three times more on advertising he explained The association had a 000 adver Using budget in 1990 he said Mr ruled out the possibility of the eents demise But he suggested in upcoming meetings the association might consider alternating the Georgetown location with sites in Brampton and Burl ington Although most people recognize the festival s organization as the Georgetown Highland Games Association the groups official ti tie is the Peel Highland Games Association said Mr Alternating the festival location could give it a higher pro file he explained But Mr said no final decision has been made If the group determines the high cost of the championship pipe bands caused the financial loss the association plans to approach the Ontario Piping Association to renegotiate the contract between the two groups said Mr The cost of the pipe bands used up 50 per cent of the festival s revenue Thats too big a percen tage said Mr Munro To attract championship bands to the festival he explained the Georgetown association is re quired to provide prize money that is set the Provincial Piping Association and cover the ex of each of the bands atten ding the event The championship piping bands been a festival attraction for the last few vears Before that any pipe band could attend the festival said Mr That meant the organizer could set the prize mone and wasn required to cover the bands expenses said Mr Munro Members of the Georgetown association are currently proaching the organizers from similar games in Southern Ontario to find out if they would join forces with the Georgetown organization to convince the Provincial Piping Association to reduce the cost of the championship bands said Mr Munro If we act together we might have more weight hesaid Another question mark concern ing the event is the effectiveness of this years advertising campaign A conducted by the associa during the festival shows a lot of first time visitors heard about the games through word of mouth and not by advertisement said Mr Munro Community sponsorship was one financial highlight at the games said Mr He called the best for sponsorship WERE GOING BACK TO ACTON

GO station is now a reality Acton will definitely get a GO train station and the objective is to open it the day the line is extended to Guelph said the manager for in formation services at GO Tom Henry Mr Henry predicted the station would open sometime this fall or as early as possible There is a per cent chance the station will be located on the site of the Old VIA Rail station across from the Olde Hide House on Eastern Avenue said Mr Henry GO is currently determining if the proposed site will have to undergo an environmental assess ment before final approval for the location is given he explained Initially the station will be a minimal facility because we GO dont have the time to do anything else Hills Mayor Russ Miller said the VIA rail land is the only possible location for an Acton GO stop We want people to be able to walk to the GO station he said Monday Mayor Miller said he has been assured by Regional chair man and GO committee member Peter that he will be in cluded in any further meetings that happen concerning the Acton GO station Ive also been told I can bring the players I want to the table said the mayor These would include Halton Peel MP Garth Turner since the VIA lands are owned by the federal govern ment and at least one if not all Ac ton town councillors he said Water guidelines approved New well water testing guidelines governing those who want to build on a piece of property that Halton Council approved Wednesday could only be the of several more restrictive guidelines Milton Regional Councillor Bill Johnson argued during council meeting that the Region will only know for certain where in Halton there is enough water to service development if a Region wide study is done Indeed the Regions planning staff indicated in a report submit ted to council Wednesday it will soon submit a report outlining the scope of such a study A deadline was not given Coun Johnson referred to the guidelines as not going far enough He predicted the guidelines would not prevent some approved wells from going sour and the Region ending up in the courts But Burlington Coun Barry Quinn argued the guidelines are a step the right direction To send them bck to committee would be wrong he warned Highlights of the guidelines in clude a municipal building depart ment such as Hills cant issue a bulding permit until the Regional Health Department Is assured a particular well meets the Regions and provinces quail and quantity standards developers must finance a water tank for extra well water needed to service a development before receiving a building permit developers of a rural estate must conduct tests on all of the wells surrounding the subdivision to ensure that the new develop ment wont draw down the wells to an unsafe level HURRY IN LUNCH
