A 8 - The Oakville Beaver, W ednesday June 26, 2002 Town launches anti-idling education campaign By Angela Blackburn OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF A lthough the Tow n o f O akville doesn't have an anti-idling bylaw, it w on't stand by idly this sum m er on the issue. A fter w ading through a sticky dispute in w hich idling vehicles w as cited as problem between neighbours and a Tim Hortons drive-thru earlier in the year. Ward 2 C ouncillor Linda Hardacre called for an anti-idling bylaw. H owever, it's so tough to enforce such a rule, that Town staff say a public education process may work best. The Town is now em barking on a low -cost pub lic education and aw areness cam paign -- using existing Town publications and its Web site -- this summer. A sum m er student has even been hired to hand out a brochure the Town has draw n up outlining the perils o f idling vehicles on health and the environ ment. The brochure encourages drivers to turn off the engine, if they're stopped for m ore than 10 seconds. T he student w ill visiting places like the O akville G O Station, drive-thru restaurants and shopping malls. "At this tim e, staff are unable to introduce and actively enforce an anti-idling bylaw ," stated bylaw enforcem ent and licensing com m issioner M oira Fogarty in a report that w as to go before the T ow n's A dm inistrative Services C om m ittee last night (Tuesday. June 25). T hat report advised waiting on implem enting a bylaw until after the sum m er education program. T he Town is also hiring som eone to head up a T ow n-w ide en v iro n m en tal strateg ic plan and Fogarty said the idling issue should be addressed in that plan. To enforce such a bylaw, the Town w ould need m ore bylaw en fo rcem en t officers, reported Fogarty. The bylaw enforcem ent office is review ing its fines and a report should return to council later this year with advice on the potential o f hiking fines in order to hire m ore officers, reported Fogarty. In the m eantim e, the new anti-idling brochure is likely to find its way into local residents' hands this summer. E lsew here in O n tario , T oronto, L ondon, W oodstock and S tratford have idling control bylaws, but Fogarty w arned that the rules are so tough to enforce, lots o f m unicipalities are instead opting for education programs. M ississauga and Sudbury don't have a bylaw, but are part o f a public aw areness cam paign fund ed by Natural Resources C anada to control em is sions. World Cup fever is raging here By Lindsey Craig SPECIA L T O TH E BEAVER F or the past few w eeks. W orld C up fever has been flying through O akville -- literally.

"Now it's Brazil," he said, citing the team 's recent win. "If the team w ins, lots o f people buy the flag. W hen they lose, it does n 't sell," he said. As for his personal prefer ence, H assan said it " m akes no difference" to him w ho takes the cup, but for business purposes, h e 'd been hoping E ngland w ould get through. "Lots o f people in this area w anted England to win," he said.
