But Ward 1 Councillor Ralph Robinson said he is not convinced the public wants to abandon planning prac tices that see single family homes on decent sized lots. Ward 3 Councillor Keith Bird agrees. "We don't have to gerrymander away from building single family homes. That will fundamentally change the town if we opt for more highrises. Increasing density isn't a good idea," he said. But Mayor Anne Mulvale urged council to avoid stereotyping housing forms. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We have to be careful what we plan to build for people. The criteria for people buying a certain type of house is different for everyone," she said. New housing targets in Oakville will be incorporated into the Official Plan after the region completes its review of the guiding document. become contentious on at least two fronts -- the development of lands north of Hwy. 5, which is being opposed by envi ronmental activists, and the location of a homeless shelter operated by the Salvation Army -- councillors opted to collect public opinion first, and then set down the housing targets. Ward 4 Councillor Allan Elgar wants high density housing built first because it is usually less desirable, but necessary toward creating affordability.

His appearance ended an exhaustive six-hour search by the Halton police. By the end of the search, police had called in a helicopter from the York Regional Police, the Halton Regional Police Tactical Rescue Unit (TRU), a canine unit, a team of detectives from the Oakville division and uniformed patrol officers. The incident began innocently enough around 4 p.m. Saturday when the man apparently told his wife he was going to a nearby store for some items. When he didn't return, his wife con tacted his known hangouts and eventual ly found his van parked on Edgeware Road next to a large wooded area. Aware her husband was distraught over recent events in his life, she contact ed the police at 7 p.m. As the evening progressed, the police upgraded their searching techniques. During the evening they searched the area by helicopter using its spotlight and an imaging camera and conducted a grid ground search by the TRU unit. After six hours of searching, the miss ing husband walked out of the wooded area to seek help from one of the uni formed officers set up along the perime ter. He was treated by paramedics at the scene for minor injuries and transported to the hospital for a complete check.
