eee eee re Garbage disposal cost will jump A year and a month from now, the cost of garbage disposal will triple or quadruple. The higher rates will last for at least one year. In October of 1987, the landfill site outside Perkinsfield will be closed. The provincial government made that decision in 1984. The area won't have another approved landfill site by October, 1987. The area's garbage will have to be carried by truck at least as far as Innisfil or Barrie. This evening the North Simcoe Waste Manage- ment Association (NSWMA) will be brought up to date on the effort to make a _ temporary arrangement. The NSWMA has ap- proached Orillia, Metro Toronto, Barrie, West Gwillimbury, and a private landfill site owner in In- nisfil. West Gwillimbury has replied with a no. The other municipalities have yet to respond. 4 Final days NSWMA chairman Lionel Dion says that discussion with the Innisfil landfill site company went well. He expects the area's garbage will go either to the Innisfil private site, or to Barrie. Eight to nine dollars a ton is the cost of depositing garbage in the Pauze land- fill site, outside Perkinsfield. Dion's estimate is that the cost of taking the same garbage a longer distance, to a land- fill site not owned by the NSWMA, will be $30 to $40 a ton. Approximately 25,000 tons of garbage an- nually goes into the Pauze dump. The increased expense will result from the cost of building a transfer station (estimated cost, $300,000, plus the land); tippage fee charged at the temporary use landfill site ($16.80 a ton); trucks, purchaased or leased; cost of transporta- tion between the transfer | station and the landfill site. Costumes like the one this interpreter from the Historic Naval and Military Establishment in Pene- tanguishene wore will be put away as soon as the site closed yesterday for another season. Penetang Police Beat The environmental assessment hearing on the land in south Tiny that the NSWMA has targeted, won't begin until next sum- mer. The township has an- nounced it will appeal a decision favourable to the NSWMA. Dion does not expect the issue of an ap- proved, open for use area landfill site to be settled for several years. Arrangment for a tem- porary dumping site for Marcelville A little over three months after a fire ripped through Marcelville Antiques in Tiny The reconstruction of the western portion of the Centennial Museum in Penetanguishene, which collapsed at the end of May, was finally finished in just about time for the Museum to close its doors for the season. According to Centennial Museum Board Chairman Bob Klug, the work by the contractor was completed just in time to secure the building for winter. Although the committee has run into a number of problems this year, Klug said he is pleased with what the committee has ac- complished considering last summer they operated the museum out of a tem- porary homé at the High Poyntz Mall Second Tiny Township residents are being invited by Tiny's Environmental Advisory Committee to take part in a working session to develop a list of priorities in finding a new dump. Suspect released on bail For the second time a Thunder Bay man, the suspect in the sexual assault of a Thunder Bay Beach woman in June, has been released on $1,000 bail. The 32-year-old suspect was apprehended by police in Sault Ste. Marie early last month after a bench warrant was issued for his arrest when he failed to ap- pear in court in July after being released on $1,000 bail. Thoraas Ronald Tucker, who was remanded at the Barrie jail since his arrest, was released Friday morn- ing on $1,000 bail. 'Tucker is to appear in Provincial court on September 8. Police lay fraud charges Penetanguishene Town Police and the Midland Town Police have charged a Penetang man with fraud and false pretenses. Penetang Police report a 26-year-old Town resident has been charged with five counts of fraud while the Midland Police report the same individual is facing three counts of false pretenses. Don Legault is to appear in Provincial Court in Penetang on September 8 to face the first five counts. this area, however, could be settled this year. Minister of the Environ- ment, Jim Bradley, wants to know the plan of each municipality, as well as the NSWMA, for the disposi- tion of garbage after Oc- tober, 1987. Midland, Pene- tanguishene, Port McNicoll and Victoria Harbour, and _ Tay Township, belong to the NSWMA. Tiny Township Despite work going on around her, the museum's new Curator, Liz Cook, was open for visitors making do with the space that was available to her. The chairman added many of the artifacts the museum has acquired over the years were not on display this year in the old Beck General Store on Burke Street but stored un- 'til all the work is completed. With only a little over a week left until the museum doors are closed, Klug said many of the -artifacts are being put in storage for the winter. The committee is presently waiting word from the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Culture recently withdrew from the NSWMA, announcing it would conduct its own search for a new landfill site. Tiny is opposed to the NSWMA's choice of site, farmland in south Tiny. The only money the NSWMA receives is ap- proved for its recycling project. The provincial government is funding recyling, for the moment. Some of the area's gar- bage might be separated at Township the owners are back in business. The last few weeks have been spent moving about the funding of the work done this year to renovate the building. "Once we see what the government is going to the transfer station, to save the cost of transporting it out of the area. Tiny Township is a like- ly site for the transfer sta- tion, despite the township's adversarial position to the NSWMA, Dion says. Although Tiny has gone on its own, the township will need to use the NSWMA's transfer sta- tion, Dion believes. He does not think the township is likely to bear / give us, we will sit down and see what money we will have left to put cedar shacks on the roof," said Klug. "We are taking the expense of building its own transfer station. The NSWMA pays $190,000 a year for the right to put its member municipalities' garbage in- to the Pauze dump. A possible location for the transfer station is Pauze-owned land adja- cent to the landfill site, land which is equally un- suitable for other use, Dion said. ------ back into the new building and production should soon be back to normal. -Museum season draws to anend things one year at a time and what can't be done this year we'll work on next year." West end sewer project rejected by town residents Plans to completely ser- vice the Town of Pene- tanguishene have been stopped by. residents in the west end of the Town. At last Monday night's council session, Ad- ministrator Yvon Gagne told councillors, by Aug. 22, the municipal office received petitions by almost 70 percent of the residents to be affected by a proposal for sanitary sewers in the most wester- dump meeting At the first meeting of the committee, Tiny ratepayers were asked to give their ideas on the criteria for choosing a new dump in the Township and now at their second ses- sion, to be held Sept. 13 at the Wyevale United Church Hall, the group will be listing them in order of priorities. Chairman Art Dyer said all of the values put forth at the last meeting on Aug. 17 will be listed at the work- ing session. Dyer said the committee wants as much input from the residents of the Township as possible. "The format of the meeting was not our idea, it was put to the committee from the floor," said Dyer, "and we are listening to what the Tiny people want." As well, the committee will be using information in selecting a dump obtain- ed from questionnaires be- ing sent to all taxpayers in the municipality. According to Dyer, the committee's second newsletter, which should come out some time this week, will contain a sec- ly point of the Town. Gagne said this is the first of 19 sanitary sewer |proposals under Local Im- provement Act that has been stopped in the Town since the early 1970's. The plan which took in Champlain Road to West Street, and portions of West Street, Lafontaine Road and Champlain Road, would have seen the Town completely serviced with sanitary sewers. The estimated cost of the work was to be $591,846.00 with the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) sub- sidizing $341,527.18 towards the total cost. Under the Local Im- provement Act, 51 percent of the tax assessments must object to proposal before the plan can be stop- ped. The Town received petitions from 68 per cent of the tax assessment. slated for Tiny tion for the residents to fill out and submit on what they think are the number one priorities in selecting a new dump. Dyer added in order that everyone is aware of the meeting that will take place at 10 a.m., notices have been put in the Township's taxbills that were mailed out a few weeks ago.
