'My experience asset to township 'Dorion Basile Dorion, one of the candidates for the position of deputy-reeve of Tiny Township, has four years of experience in the 1970s as a township councillor. In the following election platform, Dorion' gives his qualifications, and gives his position on the local issues of the environment, annexation, residents and _ the council's relationship. ""My wife Myriam and I have four girls and we live in the north end of Tiny. I am 36 years old, a fourth generation resident and have lived all of my life in Tiny. I have had the pleasure of working with many people at different jobs. I have six years experience in management and I have worked with farmers, and the factory workers, construction workers, etcetera. This has helped me understand the needs of all these people and has helped me in communicating with everyone." Rose urges voters to exercise vote by DOUG ROSE Candidate for Councillor, Tay Township As election time draws near, once again we have the opportunity of choosing men and women who will represent us for the next three years. This privilege only occurs in a democratic society. For some unknown reason, an extremely large number of our legal voters do not exercise this privilege. After having studied the results of several recent local elections, I note that the number of persons voting is constantly below fifty per cent. It is really unfortunate if someone should "slip" in a position of responsibility with only a small percentage of the votes in his or her electorate. Be sure you are well informed concerning the qualifications of voters. As a general rule, a resident who is at least eighteen years of age and is a Canadian citizen has the privilege of voting. It might be noted that non resident property owners also qualify. Naturally, I hope that your vote would be in my favour, but, I feel that much' more important is the fact that you exercise your right as a tax paying citizen and vote.

During these four years I was appointed to many important committees such as: Tiny planning board, Tiny-Tay Peninsula _ planning board, township of Tiny varks, recreation and community centre boards, Midland- Penetanguishene-Tiny sanitation committee (now NSWMA) and I held the position of chairman of parks in 1973-1974 and chairman of roads in 1975-1976. The fact that the reeve appointed me to many important committees (and sometimes double that of other council members) is proof that I was worthy of these responsibilities. I also had a near perfect attendance record at council and committee meetings. I believe that it is important at this time to have a deputy reeve with previous experience on Tiny council."'

ENVIRONMENT "First of all I want to explore the alternatives to landfilling in a much more serious way. I am strongly in favour of } composting recycling, and I am_ very interested in incineration. We will probably end up with some form of landfilling however and I feel that the people in that vicinity should be compensated. Wherever we put this landfill site, it must be in an area that does the least bit of harm to the environment. We cannot repreat the awful mistakes associated with the Pauze landfill site because the health and lives of our people is too important for us to play politics. with, I am MUNICIPAL LECTION insurance Davis. strongly opposed to any dumping or storing or industrial chemicals in the township of Tiny. I believe that we must give serious consideration to all of the wate disposal options available to us, keeping in mind that the protection of the environment is our first priority. Our concern for the environment must not disappear as soon as we solve the present waste disposal problem. We must take the leadership in protecting our environment so as Nov. 7,8 Ladies Guild of St. On-the-Lines James Church craft and bake sale in Mountainview Mall Nov. 7 and 8, 9:30 a.m. start each day.

ANNEXATION "T will defend Tiny's interest to the utmost in a respectful and intelligent way. This issue must be solved a quickly as_ possible, otherwise the taxpayers of Tiny and Midland will waste a large = amount of expenses in unnecessary legal fees. If there are any problems, they can be solved with good neighbourly communication and good neighbours don't steal from each other. This land has always been in the township of Tiny and it should remain as such. Tiny can and should continue providing the necessary services in that area." OPEN AND HONEST GOVERNMENT 'A few basic rules are necessary but in no way UFbate85 must these rules discourage our citizens from approaching council. We are there to serve the public and whether they are lay people or professionals they must be treated fairly. Our bylaws must also be created and administred in a fair way. We must operate in an open way so that our citizens are fully aware of the actions of council." "We must have fair and reasonable bylaws in order to create a favourable climate for smal] business. Tiny needs this kind of enterprise because small business employs our local people. We have a lot of potential in this area with tourism agriculture, _ forestry, etcetera and we can develop this potential without destroying our quality of life. We must also take advantage of as many federal and provincial government programs as possible, whether it is to develop our resources, _ to provide needed housing, to improve our recreation facilities, or for the enhancement of our environment. This area has got to be the best place to live, in let's just make it better." "With. proper planning we can provide access for our local people to our beautiful shoreline without unnecessarily disturbing the privacy of those who own cottages. I intend to represent everyone and not just a select group of people, and above all I refuse to be a puppet for anyone. I have the experience necessary at this time when the majority of council could include new faces. I believe that the best tool for a member of council is common sense. I will take the time to devote to the deputy reeveship both at the township and county level. I have a proven record and I will continue to' devote myself entirely to the issues I believe in. Bob Sullivan spells out reasons for seeking office Bob Sullivan, a 39- year-olc Penetanguishene native who works for Canada Post, was raised in Toronto and attended St. Michael's College School and _ Trent University. Before returning to Penetanguishene in 1972, he worked in Toronto and travelled extensively. Now he, his wife Lin, and their two children live on Water Street. "My main concern is the preservation of the waterfront' for future generations. The new Baymoorings hotel, and its upgrading of year- round recreation and entertainment, will draw other developers. Most will want waterfront locations and there will be pressure to sell off the town's holdings to gain jobs. But if we encourage development back from the shoreline we still get the jobs and everyone gets to enjoy the waterfront. "My other concern is safety: a sidewalk on Lorne Avenue and safe school crossing zones."' Also, Bob notes that, while town finances are in an excellent state, he would not favour increasing town indebtedness. "T feel my seven years on the Huronia Airport Commission (two as chairman) and - three years on the Penetanguishene Planning Board give me the experience to deal with both long range planning and day-to-day management. Also, my job places me where I hear the town's concerns every day!" Peete VOTE TO ELECT et (Fred) Pilon Your WARD2 Page 12, Tuesday, November 5, 1985
