ô - The Canadian Champion, Tueaday, Octaber 30, 2001 COIMENT" Replacement trustee TKTOc> should be appointed ASPIRIN AND With one of its trustees on the verge of resigning, the Halton District MA L A£ IN 8 I School Board can close tedoors on anugly chapter in its history and ORINN get back to the business of educatmng this region's children.Té M 1N # Far too much school board time and taxpayers' money has been expended in the last four months mnvestigating Burlington Trustee AN'flHM Mficharl Ellis' accusations against his colleagues. ,£ P P The audit that followed the accusations didn't find any evidence of wrongdoing. And now, Mr. Ellis has announced his intent to resign, f -y stating he can no longer be an effective voice at the school board. ~ Once he does leave, the board has a big decision to make about__ j whether it will replace Mr. Ellis by appointment or by-election , î here are two things to consider. One, a by-election is expected to g- And two, Mr. Ellis was acclaimed in last year's municipal election, 4- - an indication of little interest inie position. l herefore, we think the board should take the appointment route to replace Mr. Ellis. To spend another $50,000 to $70,000 on a by-elec- tion for a position that was previously uncontested is ludicrous at best.

It's flot with just kids in this area but kids ail over. The air we breathe is supposedly free aI Ist it's a long-standing assumption when companies pollute the air 100 mnuch, different groupa take action 10 try 10 kcep them in lune. But, when Ibis gencration pollutes our airwaves with its loud banging bass music who do we complain to? We can tell our own children 10 tom il down or 10 cul thse bans but what about the kids in their cars who rev their engines and adjust their amplifiers? You swrar tbry do il just 10 annoy you. You can hear tbem coniing for miles, or aI my home you know Ibry've just pulled mbo the driveway by the deep banging Sound. My kids tel me t'on a dinosaur and t don't undrrstand their music. They'rer nght. Who could when you've grown up 10 the Beatles and the Stones- rock 'n'romu? Sure wr grew our bair long. 1 cas remember being bip -flower power, but did we pollute the air thse way this genera- lion does? I still have my old poncho and my bus- band's peace symbol. You cai tell them ail you wait about harming their hearing, but that didn't work with our generation cither. But, tic stcreo systeros are definitcly more sophisticatrd thai in my day aid if tbcy don't care about their bearing wbat about our hearing, espccially amne thc cuts Mike Harrisas govemment is making 10 our healtis care systron and hcaring testing and hraring aids funding? 1 don't know too many trrnagers that probably rrad Ibis section of Uic newspa- prr, so 1 charge you parents 10 pîcase read ilto brn and band it tsi themn 10 read.
