Despite its withdrawl from the North Simcoe Waste Management Association and its sting- lawsuit against the Tiny council has ing group, Contact may move If the Contact Informa- tion Centre returns to a municipal building, that building won't be the town hall. An inquiry about the possibility of Contact set- ting up shop in the town hall was discussed by the finance and_ general government committee last week. The committee's conclu- sion was that the Civic Centre would be a more appropriate location. The Contact office mov- ed from the Civic Centre on Yonge Street to the lower level of Edwards Village Square, in the mid- dle of the business district, decided to continue co- operating with the NSWMA garbage- recycling program. "We will pay our share of the costs" of the recycl- ing program, said Clerk Guy Maurice of Tiny Township. where its rent in the last fiscal year was $2,400. Contact in its letter said it needed 300 to 500 square feet, access to a washroom, two telephones, electricity for two computers, and a small area in which to meet the public. Treasurer Gerry Mor- rison told the committee that although the engineer- ing department doesn't have the population it us- ed to have, that section of the building still has as many files as ever. Clerk Fred Flood suggested that additional traffic if Contact moved into the town hall would be significant. But NSWMA Recycling Manager Liz Downer said that the entire cost of the recycling program is paid for by the government. In fact, 'she added, if Tiny were to cut itself off from the recycling, the NSWMA would have to return some of that grant money. So homeowners and businesses in Tiny (and everywhere) should con- tinue to use their blue recycling bins on regular pick-up days, she said. Tiny council pulled out of the NSWMA months ago over disagreements on picking a new dumpsite, and is taking the group to Supreme. Court in,an at- tempt to dissolve it. After Tiny's withdrawl, the NSWMA sent a letter to Tiny council asking whether it wished to con- tinue recycling with the NSWMaA. According to Downer, she never received an answer ("not a word") to that letter but continued the recycling program anyway. Committee hopes rent paid Midland's finance com- mittee hopes that Huronia Museum will pay the money it owes the town's parks board. The museum has re- quested the $2,200 set aside 'Rambo Midland's public safety committee wonders why minors cannot buy fireworks or pornographic magazines, but they can buy a "Rambo knife." Councillor Robert Brush brought to the committee his concern that his 10-year-old son was able to buy in town a 14 inch "Rambo knife." The knife's blade measures eight inches. Brush wanted to know if a bylaw could be passed to for it by the town council in its 1987 budget. The committee was told by the town treasurer that the museum owes the parks board several years' rent totalling $1,748. The museum also has a six- month-old roof repair bill for $857, and another, $538, bill. The committee's position was that the money budgeted be released as Knife' worries some Midland parents restrict the sale of such knives to pre-teenagers who do not have parental consent. "We're going to have some dead kids," he said. Anyone can have on their person a knife-as long as the knife is shorter than a set length and is in clear view, Police Chief Ernie Bates said. The Criminal Code makes illegal swit- chblade knives and knives beyond a certain length. "You're the second one to Head-on collision Yesterday afternoon the Midland Police investigation of the 10:34 a.m. accident on Hugel Avenue near Woodland Drive was continuing. Gail White of Honey Harbour, the driver of the car, Gaetan Doyle of Midland, the driver of the truck, and three other peo- complain about this," Chief Bates said. "They can't sell fireworks but they can sell knives. That doesn't make sense to me," committee chairman Councillor Carolyn White said. Mayor Al Roach wondered which causes more harm: pornographic magazines or knives. The town clerk was ask- ed to investigate whether a bylaw is possible in this area. promised, and that the museum board be left to handle its own finances. The town can't stipulate that when the museum gets its $2,200 from the town, the rent owing the town must be paid. The museum board is independent of the town council. Concern was expressed by a committee member that a business doing work for a customer with which the town has a relationship (landlord, financial sup- porter in this instance) be paid. If the rent owed the town is not paid, the unpaid rent will be written off as un- collectable and added to the parks board's 1988 budget. aN Treasurer Gerry Mor- rison told the committee that the understanding when the 1987 budget was settled was that the museum would pay the rent. ple were taken to hospital. The westbound White car apparently was struck by the eastbound truck, police say. Another serious accident occurred at 10:15 a.m. at Fourth Street and Dominion Avenue.
