On the trail Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Larry Grossman joined Simcoe East M.P.P. on the campaign trail in Orillia last Thurs- NSWMA budget faces delays The political group responsible for waste management in north Sim- coe is having budget trouble. But the trouble is unusual in the sense that it is not related to lack of money or money- management in the tradi- "A long, complicated process"' tional manner. Rather, it *is being delayed by an important Supreme Court of Ontario case which could have a dramatic effect on the con- tents of the budget. The court ruling, ex- pected yesterday, was to settle a long-running day. Grossman attacked what he calls a com- placent Liberal government and assured sup- dispute between the North Simcoe Waste Manage- ment Association and ex- member Tiny Township. Tiny is demanding for- mal recognition of its withdrawl and a refund of its money. Meanwhile, the NSWMA budget will also be affected by the choice of an emergency dump loca- tion, to be used when the NSWMaA's current dump near Perkinsfield closes on Oct. 31. The cost of trucking gar- bage to the emergency location will be at least $1 Pauze to be watched 50 years After the polluted Pauze dump near Perkinsfield closes Oct. 31, it will have to be monitored "for 50 years," according to a government spokesman. District officer of the Ministry of the Environ- ment, Ian Gray, said at last week's North Simcoe Waste Management Association meeting that the entire closing operation of the'site, now used by six municipalities, will have to be closely watched. After the meeting he said he was not joking about the "50 years," because closing a dump site is a long, com- plicated process. "The close-out will be monitored on an ongoing basis,"' he said. Daisy the dog gets new lease on life thanks to Port council Daisy the dog got a new lease on life last week from the Village of Port MeNicoll. Daisy's owner, Mary Lou Tucker, had feared the village would clamp down and enforce a bylaw forbid- ding anyone from keeping more than two dogs in Port MeNicoll. Tucker owns three, in- cluding Daisy, a 14-year- old blind and deaf dog with heart trouble. Councillors at last Wednesday's meeting were amazed when Tucker asked for a reprieve for Daisy, because at the last council meeting the exact same thing happened. At that time, a woman had moved to Port from the West Indies with three dogs. She was allowed to licence all three on the con- dition she not replace any should they die. "It's almost unbelievable," said Reeve John Moreau. "The same thing happened two weeks ago." Tucker was in the same boat - she just moved to Port MeNicoll from Aurora to retire, and was not aware of the two-dog bylaw. mission to licence all three tion that she not replace a Council granted her per- dogs, on the same condi- dog if it dies.

Despite all this uncer- tainty, NSWMA clerk Yvon Gagne says a budget has been drawn up and "has been ready for some time." Over 2,500 sign the tourist For the week ending August 2, 2,636 people visited the Chamber to ob- tain information. This represents the largest number of people in any one week so far this year. The month of July recorded 9,927 people who signed the Chamber's guest register. The total number of recorded tourists at the end of July was 14,120. The Ministry of Tourism and Recreation says the average expenditure for each person-trip in Ontario is $54.52. This dollar figure is broken down into carrier cost, retail/other miscellaneous costs, food/beverage, automobile costs, accommodation, recreation/pleasure and local transportation. The Ministry has found it difficult to estimate the number of people who are in the region and don't sign a guest register. However, they recommend that on an average, half of them are not recorded. Since 14,120 recorded persons visited our area to date, the economic impact to the community is $769,822.40. By doubling that figure to include those not registered, it is feasible book to assume that $1,539,644.80 was spent in this community by visitors. Midland is certainly get- ting its share of the tourism dollar. General Manager of the Chamber of Commerce, Carol Baker, states that "Tourism is big buisness and we all have to ensure that people are happy with our services and that they will want to return and spread the word about magnificent Midland."' Thefts at town dock irk police The town of Midland has been pretty quiet, at least crime-wise, according to town police. The. only newsworthy reports they have are a few thefts from boats at the town dock. Police report people have been leaving items on the boats where they are easi- ly accessible to thieves. Police encourage boat- owners to be more careful when leaving objects on their boat that could be stolen.
