At long last Captain Greg Leigh of the bulk carrier Sir James Dunn dons his top hat to pose with (from left) Doug Wright of the Midland Harbour Commission, Midland town clerk Fred Flood, Mayor Moreland Lynn and chief engineer Dan Leslie following presentation ceremonies aboard the Dunn on Monday. The traditional top-hat presentation is made to the captain of the first ship of the season entering the harbour. The 680-foot Dunn arrived with its 600,000-bushel cargo of grain Saturday -- one of the latest first-arrivals on record. Kramp 'disappointed' at TTPPB"s fate by Adrienne Graham Gardner Area Board Chairman Peter Kramp was in- volved with the joint planning body from its inception, and served twice as its chairman. His signature follows the foreward to the "Peninsula Plan" drafted by the Board in 1978 Kramp describes his personal feelings at the demise of the Board as those "of disap- pointment."' The Area Board "was good while it lasted, and was a great educational forum for the area," says Kramp. The chairman notes that all six municipalities involved in the Board now have planning boards and are in the process of ob- taining individual of- ficial plans, or actually have plans in effect. "This certainly wasn't the case when the Board began,' says Kramp. The major ac- complishment of the Area Board has been the Area Plan, which "was the intent of the Minister at the outset, and was written into our charter as such,"' ac- cording to Kramp. Grass fires quelled Old Fort Road (Tay) Volunteer Fire Department smoke- eaters quelled a grass fire last Wednesday at the supper hour just as it was igniting a small shed near Old Fort's fire hall. Saturday, firefighters from the same brigade snuffed out a grass fire on Con. 6. At Sie 5 ' The Plan is now with the Ministry of Housing, but will be repealed by Midland as one of the conditions for the dissolution of the Board by the Minister, Claude Bennett. As planning moves increasingly to the regional level, Kramp regrets the repeal of the Peninsula Plan, "'A plan in place would super- cede other future plans, such as a county plan." Under the new White Paper on planning, area planning boards would be dissolved within two years in any case. The preamble to the White Paper states that "planning is basically a political process," according to Penetanguishene coun- cillor Ray Baker. Over its ten year history, the Area Board has cost participating mult icipalities close to half a million dollars. "his is money wisely spent, and time volunteered by par- ticipants must also be considered," says Chairman Kramp. Kramp regrets the failure of the Area "to keep planning in our own area." '"*Planning will become more and more a political thing, and politicians just don't have the time and lack in continuity necessary for planning," predicts Kramp. When it comes to Mother's Day...
