a Can you eat this whole thing? The bargains at the Penetanguishene Sidewalk Sale held over the weekend may have been in the stores, but the real bargain for these children was the cotton candy. The carnival atmosphere of the event was further evident in the parking lot next to the Chamber of Commerce building, where a couple of rides were set up.

Don't trust expert Troyer also warned those present not to put too much trust in the judgements of 'experts' and in the laws enacted to control industrial pollution. Ontario has the best environmental control legislation of any Canadian province, he admitted "but every paper mill in_ this province is breaking the law every day - and the Department of the Environment knows all about it." The Midland official plan, he pointed out, provides for new in- dustries along' the shoreline only if there is no danger of an increase in pollution.. But that is meaningless." "That means you won't have any more industry here at all," he intoned. And later: "Don't rely on the law...most industries in Ontario are in -breach of the law every day.

In a_ statement of defence issued to the Ontario Supreme Court on July 21, the airport commission refutes all but three of Lemaire's allegations, made in a claim in May and cites the breaches of contract which resulted in the termination of Lemaire's contract to manage Huronia Airport. The statement also calls for the Supreme court to dismiss the Lemaire action. According to the statement prepared by Teskey, Heacoek and Ferguson, solicitors for the airport commission, in spring 1976 Lemaire had only one full-time employee at the airport who doubled as manager and pilot / instructor. The double duties made it impossible for the manager to provide the quality of services dic- tated in the Lemaire- airport commission contract, resulting in complaints from airport users. The lease stipulates that Lemaire, through promotion of the Huronia Airport '"'as a valuable asset to the community would en- deavour to aid the development and ex- pansion of the Huronia Airport and the services that it provides generally to area business and private interests." In actual fact, the statement contends, "the airport became a source of embarrassment to the community...and unre- liable insofar as the interests of the area businessmen and private persons were con- cerned."' Flying school demise Trying to fill two roles also made it impossible for the pilot / instructor to fulfill the latter function adequately. The com- mission further contends that Lemaire did not hire the minimum two pilots / instructors sti- pulated in the lease for flight training and charter flights. That, and the fact that the aircraft it owned or leased were unsuited to flight training and "in particular primary flight training" resulted in a reduction in the numbers of par- ticipants at the flying school operated from the airport. As a _ con- sequence, the com- mission says, the school's reputation suffered and students went elsewhere for their lessons. In addition to in- that we won't put up with The time has come, the Canadian journalist emphasized, for people and industry to put quality of life before the incessant demands of industry and the em- phasis on growth in gross national product. "'It is important to get out from under that 'industry at any cost' philosophy,"' Troyer said, adding that cries from industry that they cannot afford to meet stringent (and costly) government regulations have proven to be hollow cries in the past. There was a time, he said, when industries threatened to close down if they couldn't hire dirt- cheap nine year olds as labourers. And when safety controls were introduced, industry again said it couldn't afford them. "Don't just accept what businessmen say," warned the jour- nalist, as he urged all Ontarians, Midlanders included, to press for stricter pollution ->n- trols. "You have the choice' Returning to the sufficient services at the airport itself, the Huronia Airport Commission alleges Lemaire did not provide audited financial statements, as stipulated in the lease, for monies entrusted to Lemaire for operation of the airport. Creditors too complained to the commission that they had not been paid for services rendered to the airport. The commission had, it claims, notified Lemaire of these breaches in contract and given it "reasonable time" to honour its obligations. Service however further deteriorated and the commission defence states that it felt the breaches of contract "so substantial and so serious" that it was justified in terminating its contract with Lemaire. In addition to justifying its position, the Huronia Airport Commission maintains the losses incurred by Lemaire during its operations at the airport were actually commission losses and were not carried by the Lemaire itself. Damages claimed by Lemaire as a result of the contract termination, should be proven, the commission defence states.

"It's kind of 'purty' here,"' he said, grinning at his obviously pleased audience. 'You still have the choice - you have a beautiful place here. "In 35 years, there could be 50,000 people around here,' he added referring to population forecasts set out in the Georgian-Simeoe Task Force report. '"'Keep some of the that shoreline for those people." Attend meetings, write letters, exercise all op- tions open to make your views known, Troyer advocated, and hold onto the waterfront. But in the end it wasn't the pollution, or preservation of the waterfront that Troyer Saw as the reason for his visit. Instead, it was the absence of a people's say in their future. "The major problem was that the town plan was about to be bashed through without public comment,' Troyer ex- plained. The turnout, he added, indicated there was sufficient public awareness to be op- timistic. Maybe this is one place where _par- ticipatory democracy will be made to work."' : Coats, dresses, long gowns, jumpsuits, pantsuits, shorts, knitted tops, slacks, Sweaters, shoes, gauchoes, skirts, . blouses & pant tops, all HALF PRICE "ws PRICE on Summer stock Regen Wycliffe Church, Elmvale, 8:00 a.m. - August 7 only, Holy Eucharist (no 8:00 a.m. service August 14, 21, or 28). 11:15 a.m. - Holy Eucharist, August 7, Morning Prayer - August 14, 21 and 28.
