The Halton Hills Public Library is excited to an- nounce their Seed Library Program, which will be available to the public be- ginning on June 2. The Georgetown Branch Seed Library is sponsored by the Downtown George- town Farmers' Market and BIA in celebration of their 25th anniversary this year, and the Acton Branch Seed Library is sponsored by the Town of Halton Hills Of- fice of Sustainability. The Acton Community Gar- den, in partnership with the library, has also generously donated seed packets from Moonfire Farm, Urban Harvest, and William Dam Seed Companies. Seed libraries are public library-led initiatives in which seeds are borrowed by community members, free of charge, from a shared repository. Seed li- braries also encourage the return or donation of seeds harvested from plants grown from borrowed seeds in order to promote sustainability, improve lo- cal biodiversity, and foster a sense of shared com- munity. Members of the community can take home packets of seeds to plant in their own gardens, with the request to return harvested seeds in the fall. "We are thri l led to provide access to free herb, fruit, vegetable, and flower seeds that will promote our com- munity's sustainability initiatives, environmental stewardship efforts, and overall well-being," said Lee Puddephatt, Com- munity Librarian. "The Downtown Georgetown Farmers' Market and the Town of Halton Hills Of- fice of Sustainability are essential partners help- ing to make the library a community hub and innovation center for everyone." The Halton Hills Pub- lic Library is currently accepting donations of seeds from community members to be dropped off at either branch. Fol- lowing the launch of the Seed Libraries on June 2 at the Georgetown Farm- ers' Market opening, both Seed Libraries will be available to the public at the Georgetown and Acton branches, and at outreach events throughout the summer, including every Saturday at the George- town Farmers' Market. A group of Georgetown young offenders are facing charges for their role in a targeted street robbery. Shortly before mid- night on May 26 Halton Police responded to the area of Barber Drive and Danby Road--George- town--after concerned citizens reported a group of youths walking through the neighbourhood carry- ing baseballs bats and making utterances about attacking someone. As uniformed officers descended on the area further information was reported that a male youth was being beaten by the group on a pathway be- hind a residential area. Police learned that during the assault the suspects had not used the baseball bats but had punched the victim several times caus- ing minor injuries. Further, the suspects had stolen the victim's backpack prior to fleeing the area. As police arrived, two youths were immedi- ately taken into custody. Members of the 1 District Criminal Investigation Bureau took carriage of the investigation and over the following days identified and arrested three more youths who were respon- sible for the robbery. The investigation revealed all parties were known to each other and the robbery al- legedly centered around the sale of marihuana. At the conclusion of this investigation a total of five Georgetown youths-- whose identity cannot be disclosed under the provi- sions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act--were charged with robbery and pos- sessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose. They were all released from custody and will appear in court later this month. Anyone who may have information about this investigation is asked to contact Detective Paul Harrower at the 1 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-825-4747 ext. 2491.

But Hal- ton Hills residents should understand that open-air fires are not allowed un- less you have a valid Open Air Burn Permit which can be obtained from the Halton Hills Fire Depart- ment. According to Deputy Chief Harry Olivieri, "Small, confined fires that are used to cook food on a grille, bbq or spit... is permitted. Anything else, like a campfire, fire pit, etc. must be approved in Halton Hills." Olivieri went on to explain that certified fuel-fired appli- ances like propane/natural gas heaters and fire tables are exempt. However, chimeneas and other self-contained burning devices sold by some retailers, that are not used to cook food require Open Air Burn Permits. This may come as a surprise to some people, as these devices are marketed as backyard fireplaces, but they cannot be legally fired up in Hal- ton Hills without a permit said Olivieri. Recreational and resi- dential burn permits are available for $25, while commercial or construc- tion companies have to pay $245 for their permits. There is no charge for per- mits issued to farms. Even with a permit, regulations have to be followed. Your campfire cannot cause discomfort to other persons; cause loss of enjoyment to normal use of property; interfere with the normal conduct of business; or impair visibility on any public road or highway. Failure to abide by these rules may result in your fire being extinguished, revocation of future per- mits, service charges being applied, or charges being laid under the Fire Prevention and Protection Act. "Fires must always be attended, conducted in a non-combustible en- closure, and a means of extinguishment has to be readily available," added Olivieri.
