Mediation agreement Ontario Environment Minister Andy Brandt says that the mediation agreement concerning the operation of the Pauze landfill site in Tiny Township is '""encouraging."' The agreement was signed July 10 by 13 of 14 participants who were involved in the mediation process. Brandt noted after the signing that the agreement marked the first time in Ontario that mediation was used to settle an environmental issue. Of that, he commented: "The results of Ontario's first venture in environmental mediation is encouraging and indicates this process can be used effectively to resolve disputes, at least in the short term.' The agreement provides for continued operation of the Pauze landfill site near Perkinsfield for up to three years and the provision of a communal water system for Perkinsfield residents. The Ministry of the Environment is footing the bill for the system, which is estimated at $380,000. In noting that the Tiny Township Ratepayers' Association did not sign the agreement, Brandt said "'I regret that the one group of rate payers has not endorsed the plan but 13 out of 14 is a pretty good batting average on such a controversial issue."' "'The Pauze agreement is a first step toward a long term solution to the community's need for an efficient waste disposal facility in the future," the minister added. Cottagers are to supply boaters' names PETE M "SPOHN Cedar Point Cot tagers' Association has been asked by Depart ment of Indian Affairs and Northern Development to supply its reserves and trusts section in Peterborough with the name _ of commercial boats and boat owners who use the Cedar Point ferry dock for !ransporting divers to' water off Cedar Point. The Christian Island ferry dock and _ land around it is owned by the federal government and the association is dealing with it in an attempt to alleviate congestion that the cottagers feel is created by an influx of com- mercial boats using the ferry dock site. The cottagers' group, which met last Saturday al the Cedar Point cottage of its president Henry Poehlmann, will follow the federal department's sugge- stion. Poehlmann said on Tuesday that the cottagers hope action by the department will result in "the posting and respecting of certain rules pertaining to marine safety"' al the Cedar Point site. "We will work with the bureaucrats and hopefully resolve our problems,"' Poehlmann said. The department has also asked the cottagers to supply it with a map of the dock and surrounding land, in- dicating where the cottagers feel problems are being created by cars parked in the area. Poehlmann also said the cottagers hope to meet with owners of the commercial boats in an attenrpt to iron out their problems. Previous meetings, he said, have not resulted in much satisfaction for cot- lagers worried about overcrowding at the site. Martin will run again for Liberals in riding MURR: = MOORE Allan Martin an- nounced on Monday his desire {0 represent, again, the federal Liberal Party in Simcoe North in the federal election campaign. 'Tomorrow is the day by which interested Liberals must declare their interest. Simcoe North's Liberals will choose their candidate al a nomination meeting in Horseshoe. Valley next 'Tuesday. Martin, the Liberal offering in Simcoe North during the 1980 federal election, received 66 fewer votes than Progressive Conservative Doug Lewis. The closeness of the vote in 1980 was a sign, Martin believes, that the voters of Simcoe North want a change. "T believe that this is the time that we will do it," he said on Monday. Martin said he met with the Simcoe North Liberal riding association executive last Thursday and that he has their support. "Positive political leadership" will be a theme of the Martin campaign. The former MP for Scarborough West, from 1974 10 1979, after losing the 1980 federal election here, started a business in 1980 in Elmyale, as a chartered consultant and as a management consultant. A second office was Opened in Penetanguishene -- in 1982. Martin believes that there is "far 00 great an apathetic attitude foward federal government matters in this riding." Apathy leads {0 unwarranted negativism, he says. Martin: says il Is important for the residents of Simcoe North to '"'break out' of the apathy he sees. He wants tO present. a positive approach. The apathy he sees started to break down in 1980. "We didn't go quite all the way." Co-operation among the federal, provincial and municipal levels of government is im- portant, in Martin's opinion. 'We are all elected and we should all be there doing what we can for the people." Martin says he would create a committee to study the lack of em- ployment for young people, and have young people represented on the committee. Some of Simcoe North's young people will be working for the election of the Liberal candidate. Coincident with the holding of the Liberal leadership convention, the Simcoe North Young Liberals group was created, under the leadership of David Haig of Midland. The group has 60 members and a group from the east end of the riding is expected to join and swell the ranks further. Progressive Conse rvalive Dr. P.B. Rynard was Simeoe North's MP from 1957 to 1978 due largely to his *'personal charisma' and _ his being widely known, Martin says. The former Liberal MP says he sees a "substantial newness" in the Liberal Party. The Liberal Party has come a ""greal distance' from the low point of 1983, he says. Martin says he will tell the unemployed that, while he doesn't have jobs to offer to people, his intention is to see that fewer people in future will ask that question. Martin was a_sup- porter Of Pierre Elliott Trudeau and of his government's progr- ams, but he wrote to the former prime munister, when he announced his intention tO resign, to tell him that 16 years was enough and that the time for him to step down had come. Martin will defend the Liberal record if asked by Doug Lewis. Martin points out that he hasn't been the area's MP and that Lewis' mandate has expired. "It's up to the electorate to say who will represent the riding now. Martin will take part in a debate on neutral ground if the questioning is non- partisan. Although the spread in voles among can didates in Simcoe North has never been wide, Martin said, he expects this election will not be as close as in 1980. Expansion project to be completed by end of September Work began last week on the former Stedman building adjacent to Bay Pharmacy on Main Street, Penetanguis- hene. Al Zylich, owner of the Stedman building and Bay Pharmacy, is expanding his drug store into the building. Zylich said on Monday that the expansion will more than double the pharmacy's floor space, from about 1,800 square feet to between 4,500 and 4,800 square feet. He expects work will be completed around the end of September. Zylich said that ex- pansion will permit him {o expand the line of products he currently sells and to sell new lines. As well, there will be more space provided for general display purposes. The work is being done by Vic Lacroix of Penetang. The building has been vacant for about a year since Stedman's closed. Zylich has operated a drug store al the site for 11 years.
