Centennial Dr buildings hit Penetanguishene police are probing a number of break-ins that have occurred in the town during the past week or so. Yesterday morning police were called to the Water and Light building on Centennial Drive. There, they _ in- vestigated a break-in. It seems a person or persons yet unknown to police forced open two windows causing an estimated $80 damage. An initial in- vestigation showed that nothing had been stolen from the building. However, the night before some $550 in cash along with a cash box were stolen from the Woodsman on _ Cen- tennial Drive after a window was_ forced open. That incident, ac- cording to Police Chief Dennis Player is still under investigation, as is last week's break-in at Burkevale School in which some ransacking of the school reportedly occurred. by Adrienne Graham Gardner Garbage pick-up will be resumed next Monday in the Tiny-Tay Peninsula area if an agreement between the members of the Midland Penetanguishene Tiny Landfill Site Committee and the operator of the Perkinsfield dump can be ratified this week. The tentative agreement between the two parties was drafted at a Saturday meeting of the M.P.T. with Eric Pauze, operator of the Perkin- sfield landfill site. Saturday's meeting between the committee and Pauze was held in response to a request by the Minister of the Environment, Keith Norton. Members of the M.P.T. were able to get an ap- pointment to see Norton through Al McLean, M.P.P. for Simcoe East last Friday. The Minister also agreed to provide assurances in writing concerning the safety of the Perkin- sfield site. Apparently the Ministry has assured the committee that the dump has an extended life of three years. This assurance by the Ministry contradicts a report by Ministry hydrologists in January alleging off-site migration of leachate, and a New contract being hammered out report by Pauze's hydrologists in August which points to "gross contamination"' of the aquifer flowing west from the dump. M.P.T. member Ron Hamelin comments "I'm still very doubtful about the safety of the site."' The final report by Morrison Beatty, hydrologists for Pauze, will be completed in three months. Depending on the results of that study, the M.P.T. will assess the options of continuing to use the Perkinsfield site, or applying to the Ministry to use an alternate site. The new contract, yet to be fatified by the six M.P.T. municipalities, specifies a flat rate fer One year's use of the dump. This price includes a hold- back portion to be used for the ultimate close-out of the site. ays It is understood that the contract also includes & j. liability waiver for the M.P.T. committze. Pauze had been asking for $163,216 for the one year period beginning Oct. 7_ - The agreement proposed by the M.P.T. com- mittee and Pauze will have to be ratified by the member councils at emergency meetings this week in order for garbage pick- Mny. g ge pick-up to resume by recovered by Midland OPP officers alt ap- proximately 6:05 p.m. Saturday.
