Wednesday November21 1390 Page 11 Peoples Forum Turner finds an ally The Editor I ve noticed recent letters to the editor criticizing Garth Turner MP and I felt that it would be appropriate to share my experiences My company Purity Life Health Products imports and distributes to health food stores doctors and other health care practitioners coast to coast We sell foods body care herbs vitamins and ecological products which are organic non allergenic and speciality As they are im ported most of which from the S the labels are conforming with S regulations but not always Canadian regulations lack of french metnc different nutrient declarations re Our problems started one year ago when Consumer and Cor porite Affairs CCA decided to crack down on all imports com ing into Canada not properly labelled and suddenly we and our entire industry had problems We have always been able to get I S suppliers to do Canadian labels on large volume items but in our industry there are lots of small volume items that would cost too much to relabel yet if we were to lose them we would be out of business On behalf of Punty Life and our industry The Canadian Health Association I approached Garth Turner who took the time Objection withdrawn Editor note The following let ter was forwarded to the Hills Herald for publication It is with great reluctance after much contemplation that I am withdrawing my objection to the Holcro Senior Citizens pro ject changes in the official plan of this town disturb me greatly Main Street South and Maple Avenue West still do not my opinion seem to be an ideal loca tion for a project of this type However for several reasons not least of which is the waste of the taxpayers hard earned money on an hearing I am officially withdrawing my tion Your confirmation that the Town would proceed to notify me regarding the processing of the site plan processing etc will still be respected I hope Sincerely Mrs Joan Breckenndge Georgetown EAGLE queries Loblaws Dear Sir Dianne Van Valk raised a very valid point in her article regarding rewarding shoppers who reuse plastic bags As a consumer who uses string bags I whole heartedly sup porter her position that we get serious about the environment This conflict of Loblaws green policy is not the only On July wrote to Companies Ltd com plaining that their recycled toilet paper cost more than their non recycled paper As an article in the business magazine Moneywise previously stated that recycled paper costs less to produce we believed an explana was in order EAGLE is still waiting for a written response We did note that the name brand recycled toilet tissue in question did disap pear off the shelf within two weeks of our enquiry Sincerely Pit Halton Hills THE CORPORATION OF THE I own of Hills I Hoi on H lit Of O HILLS Georgelown Ontario 873 RECYCLING WEEK 90 PROCLAMATION Whereas the Council for the Town of Halton Hills acknowledges the need to in crease the awareness of area residents of the growing problems of waste management And whereas the Town of Halton Hills in the Region of Halton recognizes that reduc tion re use recycling contributes positively toward resource and energy con waste reduction and economic development And whereas our Municipality par in recycling programs and supports recycling Therefore be it resolved that I Russell Miller of Halton Hills do hereby proclaim the week of Nov to as the 6th Annual Recycling Week The Future Is Miliar a Mayor to understand our situation Garth knew I have worked for the Liberals in the past yet his sup port of us has been excellent We do have a legitimate point of and concern and he has on our behalf met with the Minister of Consumer Affairs Pierre Blais and arranged meetings between myself and members of our in dustry with senior people at CCA in Ottawa As a result of these meetings we are in a dialogue there is an understanding of our situations and we are expecting a solution that is win win for everyone Garth Turner in fact most MPs regardless of their party work hard for their constituents and are continually torn between the demands of various often conflicting groups Garth Turner listens and makes it clear that he will only support situations that are reasonable and fair and I respect him for it A quick word about the GST In spite of the flaws it is vastly fairer than the present S T program which is so unfair that people would be far angrier at the way it is applied than the G S if they knew but since its hidden they don t Our problem as a country is that we insist on a full range of government programs and yet don want to pay for them Universal medicare is the worst example a monster gone mad People that need help should get it but universality is not necessary and promotes waste and inefficiency So until we stop wanting the govern to look after us we can ex GST and more Garth Turner is one man who is trying to help and I feel is tive at it He could break with his party which would mean he t be listened to or he can work within it By working within it he is able to make his views known and have some influence Garth is a man of principals and deserves our admiration and respect He has mine David Chapman Acton For All Your Fine China Silver Crystal 227 MAIN ST MILTON TOWN COUNTRY CLOTHIERS Royal Columbia Run Bike Swim Fitness 8788622 TH FITNESS Mill St
