Dump neighbours should be compensated, says candidate One of the candidates for the deputy-reeveship of Tiny Township says he thinks that everyone living. within a one kilometre, and possibly a !wo kilometre radius of a future landfill site, should receive compensation. Basile Dorion says he thinks the location of a iandfill site in the Tiny Township area is one of the mos' importan! issues, and possibly the mos! importan! issue, facing township residents. The candidate says "some form of landfill will probably be needed somewhere."' "T do not have at this time the magical answer to where this landfill should be put but it is clear that some unlucky taxpayers will end up with a landfill site in their area," Dorionsays. Whether il goes in Tiny township, or elsewhere, all six municipalities in 'he North Simcoe Waste Management Association should be responsible for com- pensation, he says. An arrangement would have o be worked ou' but compensation could be in the form of a 'ax rebate or assessment realignment, Dorion says. He also says considera' ion of a different site and incineration of garbage should be pursued. Dorion says he encourages the association to pursue recycling. Its recycling program for North Simcoe starts Oct. 1. On the annexation dispute between Tiny and Midland, Dorion says '"'we must make sure that 'he Town of Midland does no: unnecessarily take away our valuable assessment (along 'he High- way 93 strip)."' The Tiny depu'y reeveship is also being con- tested by township resident Peter Brasher, a retired surgeon. The present deputy reeve, John Lackie, has no! said whether he will seek the post again. Dorion sat on !ownship council as a councillor in he 1970s. Rowe supports Grossman's leadership bid by PETER SPOHN Simcoe Centre MPP Earl Rowe said Friday he is supporting Larry Grossman in the November convention to choose a new leader for the Ontario Progressive Conservative party. The firs! term MPP said he has been impressed by Grossman's performance in 'he Ontario legislature since it resumed silting after the disas'rous election results for the Tories last May. His vas! experience in a variety of cabinet posts over the years makes Grossman a viable can- didate, Rowe said. "Think we can' win with him. He's young and aggressive,' Rowe said. He said Grossman can win back both the rural and urban vote the Tories los' in the last election. Rowe noted 'hat somewhere in the neigh- bourhood of 22 to 26 Conservative MPPs (out of a otal of 51) have indicated 'hey will support Grossman. How caucus support for the three declared leadership candidates shapes up should be better known once the legislature is recalled Oc!. 15, he said. (It adjourned in mid-June.) Grossman, who announced his candidacy last week, is running agains' Dennis Timbrell and \lan Pope. Both Grossman and Timbrell represent Toronto cons'ituencies in the legislature and were first and second runners-up, respectively, in the February leadership convention that chose Frank Miller. Pope is from Timmins and represents a Northern Ontario riding. It is his first run for the leader- by MURRAY MOORE Las! night, Midland Alderman Don Sherk, a local contractor who, last January, was the majority of council's choice to fill a vacant council seat, defended his record as a member of the council. William Ogilvie, a member of the council in the 1970s, suggested that Ald. Sherk has declared a conflict of interes! a! a_ record rate; that Sherk should no! have been a member of the finance com- mittee which early in 1985 decided how much money should be spent on road _ construction, and then bid for the work; tha: other con- tractors might no! be bidding because 'hey believe the alderman has "inside" in- formation. Ogilvie also suggested tha' more bids are no! received because 'he town does no! have a 'endering bylaw which is "tamper proof."' The 'own, Ogilvie said, "would be well advised to adopt a code of ethics and procedure 'ha: would discourage individuals from using 'heir elective positions on municipal councils as a vehicle 'o obtain municipal contracts and business." Ald. Sherk was also criticised for a report that he might sue the 'own 10 recover money his company lost because of a dispute between another con- ractor and the town. "Mr Sherk appears to be constantly sorting ou! his position on council. On some oc- casions he plays the role of councillor; at -other times, he seeks to ignore wha! (I perceive) as a conflict of interes! stemming from his threa! to sue the town, by claiming that: he is acting in the capacity of a 'businessman', even though there is evidence 'o suggest thal he has had either a direct or indirect pecuniary interes! in the contracts or related matters at issue."' 'Ald. Sherk's public pronouncements regar- ding suing the Town of Midland (have) irrevocably shattered any credibility he may of had as a municipal councillor, and renders his position as a member of Midland council completely untenable. His only recourse is to resign his aldermanic sea' on Midland council for- thwith."" Ald. Sherk responded that "to the best of my knowledge'? while an alderman, he _ has complied in all respects with the conflic: of in- 'erest regulations. He has, as required, disclosed his interest; did no! take part in Sherk defends his role as alderman, businessman says he has complied in all respects with conflict of interest regulations discussion; did not vote on the contract al issue: did not aitemp! !o in- fluence voting: and disclosure of his con- flicts of interes' are recorded in meeting minutes. Ald. Sherk asked if the town should have to pay ano'her con'trac'or more money !0 do work because he is a member of the council. He also asked if he should have to lose money because he is a contractor and a member of the council. "Does everyone who is a businessman have to suffer financially 'o become a member of council?" Sherk did no! respond '0 Ogilvie's suggestion tha! Sherk carries on his person '0 meetings, illegally, a knife, or to Ogilvie's claim 'hat during, and after, the last council meeting he invited two, unnamed members of the audience "to step ou'side."' ship.
