And of course there is teams competing at the recent baled hay sack, nail driving and event. egg catching to content with. They have been to the fair before ,I Shrinking Access For the last 16 years, 1 have made an annual visit to a smail isolated lake in northemn Ontario to do some bass fishing. Rarely did I have any company during my visit and though I neyerchecked 1 believe the land flot private. Last year 1 was surprised 10 find no trespassing signs posted on the roadway necar the lake. I was more than a little disappointed t0 see this spot tumn private after ail the years of looking forward t0 my return there. 1 have run int this problem several rimes in the past few years. One Of MY favourite holiday pastimes has long been to search Out small back lakes on a topographic map and try my hand at getting 10 them for a littie fishing. The problem 1 arn always confronted with is this. Even after consulting with land tenure mnaps acquired from the M.N.R. you could stili be trespassing without realizing it. Most of these maps, which tell you which land is private and which is flot, are out of date. IThe process necessary to fifld the owner of a plot of land in the north is so involved that getting caughit trespassing seems like a better idea and worth the chance. After ail most of th)is land is Owned by logging com panties and hunting camp parties that only use it for hunting. My complaint with the whole issue is that for many years the M.N.R. has been stocking these back lakes with bass and trout for the improvemnent of alternate fisheries.' Many years later the land around these lakes gets sold off leaving the new owner with conveniently stocked lakes at the taxpayers expense, flot to mention the loss of yet another public fishing opportunity. Even more aggravating is the case in which a small section of crown land is left isolated on a lake like an island surrounded by private property. The only way to reach it is by float plane if you think you can land one on ten acres bordered by 50 foot trees. The practise of selling crown land is an ongoing process with no forse0able end. The end resuit is that we who love these precious places get shut out and those who can afford the luxury of owni-. retreat property get the benefik, thought that exclusively was', confined to yacht clubs but 1 was wrong. Exclusivity is for those who believe that it would be better if we ail owned a small piece of our northern iland and confined ourselves to it than to leave the forth free for everyone to use, leaving endless opportunity for ail. I know about rights and I know about the law, but one Europe is enough for my world thanks.

BusineS-sdropping at Metro dump sites Commercial haulers of garbage who are by-passing the Metro Toronto dumps for cheaper tipping fees in the U.S. could cost the Region of Durham somie $7 million in 1992. This would results in greater costs for taxpayers for their wely pick-up of garbage in 1993. The cost of $ 1652.30 per tonne for commercial haulers is far greater than charges in the U.S. The difference is enough that trucking garbage Io the U.S. is feasible and profitable for the haulers and their clients. But as more commercial garbage gous to the U.S. the cost of operation of the Metro dumps, and for Durham, especially Brock West, increases. Then increase cornes about due to the lowering of the rebate that is paid to Durham from the base rate of' $152.25. The new rebate retroactive to January 1 of this year is $83.86 per tonne which compares with $112.14 in 1991. Durham will get $13.2 million in rebates this year which compares with sorne $21 million in 1991. Wi th tipping fees up 10 $ 100a tonne cheaper in the U.S. business at the Metro dumps, commercial and industrial, have diropped some 90 percent. Part of the drop is also due 10 the recession and some success in recycling. Commercial haulers do flot gel a rebate and must pay the base rate at the Metro sites. In 1990 Brock West took in 867,000 tonnes of garbage. Last year the tonnage dropped 10 499,000 and it is projeeted that there will be a further drop to 416,000 tonnes in 1992. Due to the drop in tonnage at the Brock West site il is possible that the site could remain open until 1997. Earlier reports had the dump closing this year. Although Durham's rebate is some $7 million less for 1992 the Region is going to bc able 10 put $1 million into a garbage reserve. It was considered at budget time that the rebate would have been down lower than the existing figure of $13.2 million. PERMAN ENT- Pool and Patio Fail Special:... Any shape 14 x 28 inground Pool.
