Rev. Hubert Schwartz to region, says Day "Regional government we don't need," Bev Day said on behalf of himself and Nancy Keefe. Day and Keefe are Midland's representatives on Simcoe County Council. Penetanguishene's representative on the coun- ty council, Art Stewart, ex- pressed the same attitude at his council's May meeting. Simcoe County doesn't want a '"'regional"' form of government, Reeve Day said. 'It doesn't work that well." The Consultation Com- mittee on Governmment County Reform, chaired by Liberal MPP Charlie Tatham of Oxford, is meeting representatives of the county council and the county's municipalities and the public today (Wednesday). The local politicians see the provincial govern- ment's interest in talking about restructuring of county government as a way of leading into regional government. Several counties near Metropolitan Toronto -- such as Peel and Halton -- had regional government implemented years ago. Realtor wins prize Local realtor Bryan Richardson of Midland has earned international recognition. Richardson a member of the staff of Bryson McQuirter Realty World earned second place in residential transactions, competing against 15,000 other Realty World profes- sionals from throughout Canada and the U.S. has received from the town council its approval in principle. Rev. Schwartz first ap- peared before the town council a year ago. His church's application for money to the Ministry of Housing, although well- received, was just one of 24,000 applications, he reported to the council last week. The board of directors for the proposed building has accepted advice from the ministry and cut the scale of its proposal by 80 per cent, he said. The Huronia Association for the Mentally Retarded has received funding for 10 units. Five units were ap- proved for Penetanguishene, he said. Deputy Reeve Nancy Keefe said that she is familiar with the history of those two applications. Five years had passed before approval. _Critic's_Corner by John Stoddart mild- Chester, a mannered everyman, decides to take his family and get back to nature in The Great Outdoors. The family packs up the 4x4 and leaves Chicago for wide open spaces. Upon arrival at the cabin in the woods, they not only en- counter the usual array of vacation pests, such as Page 14, Wednesday, June Roughing it in Great Outdoors mosquitoes, racoons, bears and local hicks, but as well they are blessed by a sur- prise visit from Chester's brother-in-law, Roman. He's a loud-mouthed know it all boar whose idea of roughing it is when the electricity is shut off. Roman's idea of a one- week vacation is to see 22, 1988 how close he can come to killing Chester while hav- ing fun. Last summer actor John Candy starred in Summer Rental, which had a similar plot. Candy is more suc- cessful this time around with physical comedy and his attempts at waterskiing and fishing are hilarious. When the action slows down, the tilm sinks into the weeds due to the thin story line. Good light sum- mer comedy, although Candy and co-star Dan Akroyd are capable of much more given something more to work with. No carnage, no violence, PG. Rating: two stars. The Free Methodist Church has a long road to travel yet, she suggested. The proposed building would be supported by the Free Methodist Church and the Ministry of Housing. Schwartz No permit? © No sundeck A person building a sun deck in Midland needs a building permit. The town council has agreed to re- mind people of this. The committee of adjust- ment reported to the coun- cil that it has had to rule on two cases of a partially- constructed sun deck whose owner didn't have a building permit. In the first case, the sun deck was not permitted. The owner appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board and lost. The council was asked to place advertisements in the local newspapers to tell people that decks, pools, and garages can't be built without permission.
