CALL TODAY The Penetanguishene Citizen 549-2012 The Elmvale Lance 322-1871 The Midland Times 926-2283 Aerial truck to park at Civic Centre The Public Safety Committee will recom- mend to Midland town council that the new aerial ladder truck purchased for the Midland Fire Department be temporarily housed in the Civie Centre, on Yonge Street Should council approve the committee's recommendation, the truck, which is expected to arrive in the next two weeks, will be located in the Civic Centre for ap- proximately five months, the amount of time it is estimated it will take to complete the necessary renovations al the Fire Department garage on Second Street. At the moment, the garage is not large enough to accommodate the new vehicle At a meeting Wed- nesday night the com- mittee pondered the options open to it regarding temporary housing for the truck. These were narrowed down to two: it could recommend that space be rented at the Avis car rental facility on Vinden Streel, or it could recommend that the Civic Centre be utilized. According to Deputy Fire Chief Jim Lemieux, both options would cost Midland taxpayers about $3000, but the choice of the Civic Centre was made on the grounds that tax- payer's money spent on municipal property is more beneficial to the town in the long run. "As far as I'm con- cerned, the reason for going to the Civic Centre was (a) a matter of necessity, and (b) if they're going to spend the money, they might as well spend it on their own property, as opposed to spending it on someone else's,"' the Deputy Fire Chief said. Lemieux noted that the estimated $3,000 ex- penditure for the tem- porary Civic Centre location is required because the door on the wes| side of the building is not large enough to allow the truck to pass through. A hole will have to be knocked through the wall, and a bigger door in- stalled. He said he hopes the project will get un- derway in a_ week, although if not completed by the time of the new truck's arrival, plastic sheeting would be tem- porarily installed across the opening Lemieux also noted that the Civic Centre plan is contingent upon its being approved by council. This in itself, he remarked, presents somewhat of a problem. Council is not scheduled to meet again until February 13, and by that time, the new truck may have arrived. He said he hopes that a special council meeting would be called next week to deal with the com- mitlee's | recommenda- tion. Groundhogs all agree, more winter ahead Count on six more weeks of winter, the groundhog saw _ his shadow This little tidbit of in- formation came hot off the wire service news all the way from Punx- sutawney, Pennsylvania, where the official groundhog --Punxsut- awney Phil used for every groundhog's day, lives The report says he came out of his hole, stretched in the bright sunlight, saw his shadow and scurried quickly back to his hole. For those of you who don't trust Punxsutawney Phil's judgement on the state of things to come, take the advice of Groundhog Timmy from Wisconsin, who also saw his shadow yesterday We can't escape il folks, six more weeks of cold and blinding snow storms are on their way. marketp classified lace WORK WANTED Will babysit in my own home, any shift.
