Stacey Newman, Zeeshan Hamid, George Soltysik and Jenn Meyer, Milton Says No insidehaiton.com Reconsider uniform tax rate decision RE: Milton council moves to implement uniform tax rate in 2017, Champion, December 17 issue Dear Editor, I am writing to you in regard to the Urban Service Area Tax Levy Phaseâ€"Out motion considered at the December 14, 2015 meeting of Milton Town Council. Had this motion been called the Rural Area Tax Difâ€" ferential for Services Not Received Phaseâ€"Out, many of us from the rural area would have been at the meeting. Further, council suspended its usual procedure to reâ€" fer this motion to the Committee of the Whole and bring it back to the next council meeting. Residents were thus not given the opportunity to delegate and at least have our say on this item, therefore disadvantaging (taxing) a minority of the community (the rural area) for services that they do not receive. I am asking counciliors to reconsider this issue, or at least allow a small delegation at the next Council meeting, slated for January 11, as this is a principle still accepted in Burlington, Hamilton and Halton Hills, where it is referred to as area rating. I am disappointed in Counciliors Rick Malboeuf and Zeeshan Hamid for failing to recognize that the rural area sends downtown about $7 million from Moâ€" hawk slots money for the benefit of the whole comâ€" munity. Peter Lambrick Campbellville wosuojygyap{sulmmn | NOLIIJWVHJI NYIGVNYI NOLWUW | TOZ ‘£ Azenuer | £ Good Samantans help rescue motorist, dog following crash Dear Editor, I want to take a moment to thank all those who stopped on the morning of November 28 to help my husband after his Honda Pilot SUV was Tâ€"boned, spun around 180 degrees and flipped twice beâ€" fore landing in a ditch. it was a beautiful day around 10:30 am. when someone decided to drive through the stop sign at the corner Boston Church Road and 5th Side Road. That driver allegedâ€" ly told police that he saw the stop sign but chose to go through it as he was running late. My husband, Uldis Bernhards, and Blue, our 16â€"monthâ€"old great Dane, were pinned inside the overâ€" turned vehicle while the gas and oil spilled out. To Steve, who stopped first, thank you. Thank you for taking the time to get involved. As you said, you never know what you are going to step into. You called the police and someâ€" one who was able to rescue Blue. To the lady and other gentlieman who also stopped to help, and whose names we did not got, thank you so much for your asâ€" sistance. You managed to get my husband out of the SUV through the sunroof, and calm Blue enough so that she also exited the vehicle through the roof, She was kept safe in the police cruiser until she was picked up. To offhicers with the Halton police‘s Milton Division, paramedics and hre crews: thank you. To us, you are all heroes. Uldis‘s main concern was Blue and you were all patient and kind and realâ€" ized that she was not only scared, but she was taking care of her "dad." You kept her safe and off the road and did not let her wander. I am happy to report that other than a black eye, bruises and musâ€" cle soreness, Uidis and Blue walked away from this collision virtually unscathed. Looking at the damâ€" aged SUV, it seems to be a miracle. We wish to again thank those who stopped and took time out of their busy day to help a stranger in need. We would love the opportunity to thank you in person. Peace, health and happiness to all.
