Telegdi, a homeowner, says that althâ€" ough energy conservation in a time of dwindling resources and escalating prices is both a federal and provincial â€"concern, local governments have a key role to play. * Energy and water conservation proâ€" grams should be stressed in Waterloo, says Andy Telegdi,. local community worker and administrator, in announcâ€" ing his candidacy for city council. Telegdi, 34, of Erb St. E.. says he wants to become an alderman so he can help make conservation a ‘‘civic priority‘* in Waterloo. & ‘‘The city should be active through educational pograms to encourage ciâ€" tizens to conserve energy in their homes,"* says the founder and executive director of the regional Youth in Conâ€" flict with the Law Association. ‘‘Through incentives the city should encourage builders to construct more energyâ€" and waterâ€"efficiet developâ€" ments,"" he says in a news release. Residents‘ protest gets report sent back A bylaw which would limit the frontage of residential lots in the Country Squire Estates of Waterloo to 50 metres met with such strong public objections last night that council meeting in committee sent it back to the city‘s planning departâ€" ment for further study. **Municipal governments are best able to promote energy conservation because they are the closest to the people,"" he He adds that conservation schemes such as the federal Canadian Home Inâ€" sulation Program (CHIP) can be publiâ€" The original bylaw, which was passed earlier this year and supported by a majority of homeowners in the subâ€" division, set the minimum frontage at 40 metres. In his report to council. Tom Slomke, director of planning, said that when the 40â€"metre bylaw was passed his department *was surâ€" prised at the number of obâ€" jections received."" Slomke told council that a surprising number of people have changed their minds about the bylaw since it was passed by council. He said the main reason for some landowners changing their minds was their desire to "cash in on the lot frontage By Stewart Sutherland "I think we can blame the exuberance of those wanting But Carroll found she has at least one ally in Kitchener Alderman Grace Stoner who wanted council .to waive its motion to note and file and discuss theâ€" ‘‘I‘m really disappointed by their (Kitchener council‘s) reaction tonight ~.. it was quite rude,"" Carroll said. ‘‘We attelflpted to soften the impact on Kitchener residents and still provide service to Maple Heights."

Telegdi to run for council seat to subdivide their properties for the change in opinion. Slomke said. Ross Seegmiller said many of the homes in the Country Squire Estates were valued at more than $200,000 and any reduction in the size of the lot would ‘‘deâ€" value the property‘‘ and lead to a form of speculaâ€" ""It would create a form of speculation because people would be building their homes closer together in the hopes of selling off parcels of land,""* Seegmiller told council. . Peter Melnichuk said ‘‘erosion of lot footage would create unnecessary and ridiculous lot sizes", but conceded that a large fronâ€" tage was not always needed. Melnichuk told council that his neighbor Young Soo Hou had located the foundaâ€" tion of his home in such a way that the two could conâ€" tribute equal portions of their land to create a third lot that could be sold in the future. If the bylaw were changed, Melnichuk told council, he and Hou would cized better by Waterioo city hall. **CHIP could be promoted to a greater extent because less than 10 per cent of those qualified for the program have taken advantage of the $500 grants," Teâ€" legdi says. He also says the city could do a lot more in ‘promoting water conservation by providing citizens with tips on how to conserve. On policing, Telegdi says he backs the recommendation of the Palmer Regionâ€" al Review Commission calling for the police to be governed by a regional counâ€" cil committee instead of the Waterloo Police Commission. ; ‘‘The elected representatives rather than provincial appointees should be setâ€" ting priorities for police activity,"" says Telegdi, who lectures on youth crime and social services for the constables‘ inâ€"service training program. He also says the police should tep up their crime prevention schemes such as antiâ€"shoplifting and antiâ€"vandalism campaigns, and initiate domestic dispuâ€" te intervention units. ‘‘The Block Parent Program and the human relations department of the force are excellent examples of preventive poâ€" licing,"" says Telegdi. He also said that if Waterioo is upset with transit service "they should buy their own buses and run their own tranâ€" sit service." Earlier this year residents of Maple Heights requested service during the peak hours (6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.) Monday to Friday. Waterloo endorsed the scheme and sent it for approval to Kitchener council. which rejected it. The city then decided to resubmit the matter back to Kitchener council but it ended up before the Transit Advisory Committee inâ€" stead. _ Telegdi feels it‘s important for poliâ€" ticians to take a greater role in overseeâ€" That committee‘s compromise propoâ€" sal recommended that transit service be extended to the subdivision 12 hours each day. seven days a week at an addiâ€" tional cost to Waterloo fo $19,000. Maple Heights residents said the comâ€" promise was unacceptable and Waterloo council backed them by rejecting the fullâ€"service proposal because of its cost. be breaking the law if they did that. f A group of residents from the area complained that the large lot sizes keep them from properly maintaining their properties and supâ€" ported the bylaw that would enable them to subdivide their land. Alderman Richard Biggs said he didn‘t know which side to support in the issue because he said, the report submitted by the planning department "lacked all the necessary information to base a decision‘‘ and it didn‘t contain the dimenâ€" sions that would result from the change in lot frontage. "I sympathize with those people who have, because of their chosen lifestyle. choâ€" sen to buy a large lot, but I can also sympathize with those who want smaller lots to maintain their properties better,"" Biggs said. But Alderman Blake Hull said that while he too sympâ€" athized with the residents, it would be another case of not satisfying everyone. ‘‘The concept of making all people happy is difficult to achieve," Hull said. Brown back to court _ amid new controversy . _By Philip Jaisevac Syd Brown‘s going back to court tomorrow to put his case before the Ontario Court of Appeal in Toronto. He and his lawyers will be attempting to block a planned hearing into his fate by the Waterloo regional poâ€" lice commission, claiming the commission can only be biased and that, in any event, the time for any type of hearing has since elapsed. While they‘re at it, it‘s possible they will seek a contempt of court order against the commission for its recent decision to take Borwn off the police payroll. The commission decided, meeting in secret Oct. 1, to terminate Brown‘s salary and he received his last pay cheque a week later. h;p!ieeu-goumcmeutvo( legdi says the city should do its best to the $20.6 million regional budget was monitor the maintenance standards of spent on policing last year. _ â€"_ _ /; student housing in the city, Brown claims the decision appears to be a contravenâ€" tion of a previous court order reinstating him to the payroll and has said "they (the commissioners) may find themselves in contempt of court." * _ On other insues, Telegdi calls for more bicycle and jogging paths, and crossings for senior citizens. _ He says the question of fluoridating public water should be left for citizens to decide in a cityâ€"wide referendum. . And he says Waterloo should develop an economic ‘development plan in conâ€" junction with regional plans to attract industry to the area. Improvements to downtown Waterloo should be continued and speeded up, he says. The former chief of the reâ€" gion‘s police force was fired in January of 1979 following an Ontario Police Commisâ€" sion (OPC) enquiry into management of the force. He‘s been fighting since then to get his job back in a protracted round of legal battles in court. After he was reinstated in September of 1979 by a Diviâ€" sional Court decision that said he was unfairly disâ€" missed, Brown fought the commission‘s decision to suâ€" spend him from active duty while it laid plans for a hearing into his dismissal.

The former chief hasn‘t been on active duty since August of 1978, being off from work prior to his dismissal for health reasons. As well. Brown claims the commission has an inherent bias which would not allow it to judge him objectively, even if a hearing could be Brown was granted leave to appeal this summer a May 7 court decision which gave the goâ€"ahead to the planned hearing into his status with the force. Brown‘s lawyer, Douglas Laidlaw. had argued that the court erred in holding that a hearing could be held other than that outlined in the Police Act. Both parties agree that the statute of limitations prohibits a trial as outlined in the act, but the commisâ€" sion had intended to proceed with a tribunal hearing to consider the merits of the OPC recommendation to dismiss Brown. Brown‘s lawyers will begin their arguments toâ€" morrow as to why they feel the commission can‘t proâ€" ceed with its plans and to appeal the May 7 decision made in Divisional Court sanctioning those plans.
