oe oi oat Hospital is main issue Progressive Conservative Leader Larry Grossman concentrated on the en- viroment and the need for a new hospital in Orillia when he visited the area last Thursday. "Obviously the hospital is a pressing issue," he told reporters assembled at Orillia's Ossawippi Ex- press restaurant. "We would have spent the $50 million being spent on the election on the hospital. j The new hospital would cost as much as this unnec- cesary election." Taking aim at Liberal leader David Peterson, Grossman accused Peter- son of taking the old- fashioned political cam- paign approach consisting of "Hi, how are ya. Here's a promise." He said the Liberals have no education policy, just a promise to spend more money. As for his party's policy, his only comment was, "As the weeks go by, we will have a lot to say on education." Earlier in the day Grossman was in Barrie where he promised, if elected, to implement some of the recommendations of a 1985 report, issued by the Tories, to reduce pollution in Lake Simcoe. ~"We will be dealing specifically over the next few weeks with the en- vironment," Grossman promised reporters. He also said his party is opposed to a landfill site in the county being located on agricultural land. Grossman also reiterated his stand on free trade. '"'We need a governmen. that will give us access to American markets ihat we need and want," and on bilingualism "We do not agree with official bilingualism."'. After meeting with reporters, Grossman joined Simcoe East M.P.P. Allan McLean at his campaign office. "He's contributed a lot to our party and caucus," Grossman said of McLean. "T can tell you, when Al McLean talks, caucus listens."

Gutherie, secretary of Heritage Penetanguisene said the fundraiser brought in more than $500 during the 'Sidewalk Sale'. Heritage Penetangui- shene has still to raise $2,000 to pay for restora- tion work being performed in Ottawa. Heritage Penetangui- shene is still hoping to have the Angels back sometime this month. The Angels were erected at the entrance to the town shortly after the First World War. And are sym- bols of the harmony bet- ween the English and French cultures in the area. Work to restore the bronze castings began last year. And says Gutherie it is close to being complete. Heritage Penetangui- shene is planning a special home coming for the Angels as soon as the restoration work is done. Repair work to their Allan McLean, open his campaign office in Penetanguishene.

Not impossible Cont'd from pg. 1 "Put it this way: It's not impossible" that garbage will have to be trucked to the United States, said Gray. Orillia city clerk Bruce Bayne confirmed his city was '"'still talking with the Ministry of the Environ- ment" about using Orillia's dump as an emergency site for North Simcoe's wastes.
