Pursue happiness on Feb. 22 Canadians deserve some fun in February and the Friends of Sainte-Marie have dedicated February 22 to the pursuit of winter happiness for the whole family. On that final February Sunday between 1 and 4:30 p.m. lively in- door and outdoor activities are planned. There is no admission for the annual ' event.

Heritage Day visitors to Sainte-Marie will have free access to the Wye Marsh cross-country ski trails. Guides Greg Lutick and Shirley Whittington will take parties out several times during the afternoon.

Recorder students will play in concert with leader Glen Campbell bet- ween two and three o'clock. Musician/Pianist Bob Brewer will mount the stage at 3 p.m. for an hour of 17th century keyboard music, accompanied by a classical guitarist. Again this year, a treasure hunt of sorts will take place in the foyer. Visitors who bring special heirlooms or other collec- tions and objects with mysterious pedigrees are invited to present them for inspection to experts like jeweller Glen Bryant, philatelists Rolf Staude and Stan Redman, and antique expert John Carpenter. Jamie Hunter will address his interest to Indian and historical artifacts and unclassifiable objects. Joanne Knicely will be pre- sent to advise on questions of genealogy. Those who have come to associate arts and crafts with Sainte-Marie won't be disappointed. Artists and artisans will demonstrate their work for visitors. Throughout the after- noon, outdoor tours of Sainte-Marie will be led by volunteer friends. Sainte- Marie Among the Hurons takes on a special beauty when blanketed in snow, and camera buffs will en- joy great picture opportunities. Music, outdoor fun, story-telling, antiques and crafts...all will work together to make Heritage Day at Sainte-Marie memorable for everyone. Tay fire chief resigns post After 33 years as a member of the Tay Township Volunteer Fire Department the present Fire Chief Tom O'Hara has resigned. O'Hara, who has held the position of chief of Tay One fire brigade for the last 17 years, submitted his let- ter of resignation to the township council on Feb. 5. In an interview yester- day morning Chief O'Hara said the reasons were strictly personal. He had intended to wait until June of this year, but a number of personal matters speed- ed up the chief's decision. Prior to O'Hara's resig- nation the township's Chief Building Inspector Robert Rumney also hand- ed in his resignation. In a report to council, Protection to Persons and Property Committee Chair- man Lynn Morton recom- mended with the vacancy in the positions the township to consider fill- ing both positions with one individual. According to Morton's report the ad- ministrator has conferred with three municipalities who have had experience with the position of Chief Building Official/Fire Chief and the successes in each municipality have been noted. Last Thursday morning, the five member council adopted Morton's report calling for the vacancies to be filled by a new position being Chief Building Of- ficial/Fire Chief with all in- spection duties under the Ontario Building Code and Plumbing Code be includ- ed in the position. Township deputy-reeve O'Hara, who obstained from voting on the matter, said although council sup- ported the move, he could foresee problems in fin- ding an individual quali- fied to hold both positions. O'Hara will remain on as fire chief until a replace- ment is found by township officials.

According to North Sim- coe Community Futures Commissioner Kamran Khozan, with the approval of the Federal Ministry of Employment and Immigra- tion a joint committee has been established with representation from the Ontario Ministry of In- dustry-) 9 inade and Technology (ITT), the On- tario Development Cor- poration (ODC), the Federal Business Develop- championships will be given to the highest bidder.

Fire agreement The Town of Penetangu- ishene has now joined forces with the Town of Midland, and the Town- ships of Tiny and Tay ina fire-fighting equipment and services sharing agreement. In 1980, the three original municipalities signed an agreement call- ing for each municipality to provide equipment and services, not covered under the present Mutual Aid agreement, at no cost. Last Thursday Tay Township Reeve Bruce Tinney finalized the agree- ment between the four ment Bank (FBDB) and the Department of Industrial Regional Expansion (DIRE). In an interview last Thursday afternoon, Khozan said such a com- mittee will help in the pro- cessing of application for assistance with represen- tatives from the various government agencies reviewing the larger job creation proposals that are targeted at youth and the unemployed. "Instead of wasting our clients time, the new pro- cess will be streamlined with all the experts looking at each application,"' said Khozan. The committee will meet on a monthly basis and in- municipalities in North Simcoe when he signed the agreement on behalf of Tay. The agreement is intend- ed to allow informal, voluntary form of assistance for emergency situations where existing fire protection agreements, such as the mutual aid system of reciprocal help, do not apply. Under the present agree- ment the decision of what services and equipment to be provided in an emergen- cy is left to the discretion of the department supply- ing the assistance. struck stead of a proposal having to be shipped to various government agencies before a decision can be made, the experts from each of these areas will be able to give input on a pro- posal immediately. As well as discussing the individual applications, Khozan said, these profes- sionals will also give their opinions on the existing Community Futures Pro- gram in North Simcoe. The commissioner added this input will be a great asset to his office. "The people sitting on the committee have an average of no less than 15 years at their jobs, they are experts in their fields."
