NSWMA swallows Tiny debt for time being A debt to the North Sim- coe Waste Management Association (NSWMA) of over $250,000 by Tiny Township council will re- main on the books as an ac- count receivable until necessary says the associa- tion's Finance Chairman Nancy Keefe. In order to avoid any fur- ther delays in preparing for an Environmental Assess- ment Hearing on a replace- ment site for the Pauze dump, Keefe said her com- mittee has agreed to write off the debt as an account receivable for the time being. Keefe brought up the committee's decision at last Tuesday evening's meeting of the NSWMA, after member Pat Arm- strong suggested some legal action be taken against the municipality who has failed to pay a total of $266,666 to the association since 1985. "Our committee has discussed this to great lengths," said Keefe. "We don't believe they (Tiny Township) should be allowed to walk away without paying their in- debtedness, but we can't afford to hold up the EA (Environmental Assess- ment) process." Keefe explained that any legal action undertaken to resolve the matter could in- terfere in the work being done in preparation for an EA hearing before Ministry of the Environ- ment (MOE) officials. The finance chairman said her committee is will- ing to hold off on taking legal action until the association goes before the MOE.

Despite Keefe's arguments Armstrong said he was worried the association was waiting too long before ap- proaching Tiny on the mat- ter and he could not see where bringing the two sides before arbitration to get the money owing from the Township would hold 2a Ten years Jeremy Edwards, front, was the first baby to be born in Huronia District Hospital.

Following last Tuesday's meeting Keefe said the at this point in time the association should be con- cerned with the difficult task facing them in having to find a replacement for the Pauze dump and not be concerned with the Tiny problem at the moment.

Graduating from Midland Secondary School in 1974, he left to go to the Univer- sity of Western Ontario in London to take Biology. He got married, moved to Hamilton, and then took the McMaster-Mohawk Physiotherapy program. Just after graduating in 1980, he got a job at PGH. He has been enjoying his work at the hospital, and is now the Director -of Rehabilitation Medicine. "It's an excellent career," he said. 'You meet a lot of interesting people.

He is a sidesman at St. Mark's Anglican Church in Midland and is also a Big Brother. He is also the area rep for the Lung Association. Parker has been with the Lung Association for five years, and he says he got involved because lung con- ditions, one aspect of physiotherapy, really in- terested him. "That was of special interest to me,"' he added. Reflecting on _ the changes, Parker says the past five years have beena time of growth. "These five years have been a changing period for our local board," he said. "We've gone from a small office located in one of the homes to an office in Orillia."

According to the clerk, Tiny has already paid $42,451 towards their share of this year's associa- tions budget. According to NSWMA treasurer Shirley Bellehumeur, the figures are a little different. By the end of this year Tiny Township's share of the budget still owing will be $266,666 but when tak- ing into consideration money owed to the township for repairs done to the road into the Pauze landfill site and the share of the Pauze contract the municipality has paid, the final figure will be $217,986 if they don't pay the December installment.
