Criti- ‘01 cal accessories driving by the belt system include (f: Ihtttlitittdttt the generator/alternator. water and power steering "s pumps, and the air conditioner. To isolate the cause . g _ ) ofthe noise problem, listen to the engine when accelerating. when making a hard turn or when activating the air conditioner. A squealing noise that occurs when pulling away from a stop suggests incorrect belt drive tension. A slapping sound is likely caused by a loose belt that is not tensioned properly. or a seized belt tensioner. A growl or whine can indicate that a bearing in the tensioner or idler assembly is about to fail. An important component in the system is the belt tensioner - a spring- loaded device that exerts a constant pressure on the engine's serpentine belt. If you suspect a tensioner problem NAPA auto repair shops that carry NAPA Gates cooling system products can install a new. factory-equiva- lent belt tensioner. If the belt tensioner has not been serviced since you bought your vehi- cle, have it inspected for the summer driving season, Our expert technicians can recommend the right scheduled services to help prolong the life of your car and help prevent costly repairs in the future.

CAMERBN HAHN Funerul Director you as a council has those facts ._. because some- times it's very difficult to differentiate fact from opinion," said Rob Horne, the region's commis- sioner of plurming. housing and conuuunity serv- was. Mayor hopes it's end of the line "lt's a complex. detailed issue. and " is an issue that has a ten long hismry" In fact. more than 20 years of planning has gone into these subdivisions. including a lands need assessment. district review and watershed planning. said city development planner loel Cot- ter, For simu- delegates. more needs to be done though. "Hundreds of acres of pristine rural lands. some of the most beautiful greenspace left in our region. irreplaceable rolling lands atop the Water- lzm maraine. are going to be bulldozed and iost forever," said delegate Kevin Thomason. He urged council to provide a southern access from byb Street to Columbia immediately. and to prohibit the connection of Columbia Street to the Wilmot line. "There are many additional things that this council could do, including improved educational materials for residents, pesticide bans. working with Grand River Transit to get transit sooner, and all kinds of programs to mandate the construction of green homes and promote environmentally friendly living." he said. But for other delegates, like solicitor Susan Rogers, this meeting should be the end of this road, She represents the owners of the lands in question. and she said they all understand the importance of the report coming back to city council. "However, I'm here to make the position of my clients clear," she said.

(bun. Mark Whaley asked Rogers why the pulr lic is still speaking out on this issue one year aim council approved the subdivisions subject to sonic conditions. "All your information that yo" lay um. and yet, this community still seems passionately interested and worried ahout this development. why is that?"he asked. From Rogers' observations. it's "remarkahlc' this community is so engaged. "As a resulf of this ciigagmucm. you hare a remarkable development that is before you right now," she responded The developments location on a small portion of the Waterloo moraine has led to public concern throughout this process about protecting the area's water supply. ln the opinion of former city councillor Gary Kieswetter, the third-pipe system - which (loner defines as a perforated storm sewer that's intend- ed to collect rooftop foundation water and direct it to areas where it can infiltrate to the deep aquifer -- is wrong and should be scratched from the plan. "he! Mother Nature drain the lands it's been draining since the Ice Age," Kieswetter said. For scientist Emil Frind, the regional report's statement that only a small portion of the moraine recharge area will be affected doesnt take into account other developments in Kitchener that also lie on the moraine. And the comment made hy a presenter at regional council, "We have the science." is an over- simplification. "We may have the textbook science. but what we don't yet have is a good understand- ing ofthe many ur1ccrtaintics that exist m in a complex system such as (he - moraine." Valerie Poulton Moving forward. the regional tour missioner will make a decision on the subdivisions, which Cotter anticipates will be in support of the plan. The city will then pass various bylaws, and concerned residents will have the opportunity to appeal the plan to the Ontario Municipal Board. Mayor Brenda Halloran. meanwhile. said there have been many concessions made on both sides of the debate, and she's hoping the planned development won't go to the OMB. "As mayor, I have to be responsible to our community" she said. “I have to ensure that we stay moving in a positive direction."
