The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, April 20,1999-9a 'Banner' idea gets early political backing Musw By IRENE GENTLE The Champion Milton may soon be waving <ho flag to promote homnegrown festivîties through a new streot banner program. Events such as Canada Day, <he Santa Claus Parade and <ho Farmer's Market wouîd Iikely gel a boost from <ho program, <he Town's community services committoe hoard recontly. The project would have cîoth bannors affixod <o hydro polos which would be usod <o advertise local happenings. "Me polos would ho fitted with a perma- nent bracket foaturing a stylized 'M' for Milton. Belose tho banner, a sponsorship bar fasbionod from stroot sign matorial would provide yoar-round advertising for local sponsors. Though <ho numbers are proliminary, staff ostimated it would tako $500 <o 'own' the polo through sponsorship. About 100 polos wilI Iikely be'targetod. Installation and maintenance costs are not yot known, but <ho program is meant <o ho soIf-sustaining through sponsorship rev- enue. The sehole <bing was dreamod up by a sub-committeo of <ho Milton Millennium Committco, also known as Milton 2000. According <o a staff report, Milton Hydro bas already committed <o installing <ho brackets and changing <ho banners on <ho hydro polos. The banners would ho pîaced high onough on <ho poloes <o discourago vandal- ism. Although <ho program rocoivod easy approval at commitoo levol, Councillor Rick Malboeuf wondered if <ho bannors would lead <o a decline in sponsorships for other organizations, such as sports teams. " My own concern is that <ho, $500 is going <o take away froro othor organiza- ions," said Mr. Malboeuf. "Are we corn- poting with <hem for <bis?" Mr. Malboeuf also wondered if council should commit <o <ho banners before <ho sponsorship dollars are confirmed. j Jennîfer Reynolds, <ho Town's director of leisure services, said preliminary rosearch didn'< prediet any major stum- bling blocks for tihe program. "Some busînesses have dollars for advor- tising <bat are different <han dollars for sponsorship," she said. Upkeep and maintenance of <ho banners could ho taken care of through sponsorship Chief slams poor driving a from GLANCE on page 3 Ovoraîl crime was down, a <rond which has continued in <ho first quarter of <bis year, said Chiof Algar. Breaking <ho <rond is violent crime, which saw a sîight increaso in first three montbs of 1999. According <o statistics Canada, Halton won <ho gold modal as <ho safest commu- ni<y with a population above 100,000 in Canada. "We'ro controlling crime quito woll,rr said Chief Algar. The ares doos not fore quito as woll weon it comes <o driving. "Halton is highor <han <ho Canadian average in traffic accidents," ropor<od Chiof Algar. "That includos impaired dri- ving." Poor driving habits, not just traffic con- gestion and bad roads, are <ho cause, said Chief Algar. drollars. saic Couancillor Jo-hn Chllocr tIr, pi,,-,el ";sil k ,,. k ,.,. . 1 Il Ila as,., » That is <ho case wi<b a similar program in Richmond Hill, sehere ho works, said Mr. Challinor.

"This is an excellent program for corpo- rations and I think it is intended for larger corporations rather <han small ones," ho said. "I< really doos add some vitality <o <ho community." Councillor Art Melanson also voted <o "Not only will it ho decorativo, but il will ho informative," he said. "I think it will ho cos< effective." If it is passed by council, staff is hoping <o launch a marketing campaign immodi- a<oly in order <o have banners in place for Canada Day <bis summor. - Control with Up-Front, Fuit Disclosure Pricing With No Aftershock. 1999 CAVALIER COUPE NO SURPRISE LEASE GUIDE MONTHLY PAYMET 17îs CASH 00000 (Irici.
