Vol. 19, No. 18, Folio 32 Two more locations have been added to the long list of possible replacement sites for the Pauze dump that is slated to be closed in October of next year. According to chairman of the North Simcoe Waste Management Associa- tion Lionel Dion, at a meeting between the association and Tiny Township council on Thursday, two more sites were recommended to be tested before the selection is made. Sites 43 and 44, both in Tiny, will be tested by the hydrogeologists sometime this week, Dion said. Although the NSWMA prefers the Wayne Johnson farm for a new dump, examinations, the two possible alter- April 22, 1986 -- NSWMA tests two new locations evaluated as quickly as possible, sothe plans for an Environmental Assess- natives to the Pauze dump will be members of Tiny council have opposed the move by the committee favouring the extension of the existing Pauze dump. Dion added, in order for the govern- tment to give approval to any location, the association has to prove that its choice is the best possible site. If Tiny has reason to believe that the two new sites have the potential to house a new dump, then the association must go ahead and do the required testing. Despite that fact that the two sites, the Wilcox farm and an old sand pit on Concession 9, were already passed over by the hydrogeologists in cursory Town docks weather torn after severe winter The severe winter weather ex- perienced this year has reaked havoc on the town Docks at the foot of Main Street in Penetanguishene. According to Arena, Parks and Recreation Secretary Ron Marchildon, between $3,000 and $5,000 damage has been done to the floating docks as a result of the ice buildup over the winter and the ice flows during the spring melt. Although Marchildon said the docks must be repaired the question is where the money for the docks will come from. Presently, the secretary is looking in- k Ron Miller takes a back flip dive into the cold water of Penetanguishene Bay on Saturday afternoon. Miller and two friends decided to get an early start on g to getting the Federal government to fund the repairs but said, in fact, the government could ask the Town to foot the bill on the maintenance. The work on fixing the slips must begin soon so the harbour will be ready for the scheduled openeing on May 1. According to Marchildon three of the four main floating docks have sustain- ed damage over the winter months leaving only one of the extensions without major damages. If the destruction gets any worse the harbour could lose the use of at least 50 of the slips, cutting down drastically on the income from the rental of slips. the summer swimming season taking advantage of the above normal temperatures over the weekend. = \\ ---- =o oaensnmepa ---- Qo a AMO Tog 40 cents association can get on with making ment Hearing, Dion said. 75 and still young at heart The Penetanguishene General Hospital may be 75-years-old as of Saturday, but the staff and administration showed how really young at heart the hospital is.

Nick Vollebregt, chairman of the Simcoe County Roman Catholic Separate School board, said a provin- cial mediator will take part in the meeting, the first held since the teachers voted to give their negotiators a strike mandate. Vollebregt said movement toward a settlement has taken place during meetings this winter. "T'm always hopeful. Maybe I'm only an optimist but I still believe this thing will get resolved, and maybe even at Tuesday's meeting,' Vollebregt said. The teachers voted 93 per cent to re- ject the last board offer and gave the union an 87 per cent strike mandate. If the teachers walk out, it would be the second strike this year for Ontario's Roman Catholic school system. A strike in Metro Toronto earlier this month lasted one week and was settled with the help of a provincial mediator.

The average salary for a teacher working for the separate board is $36,000, according to a factfinder's report released last month. Area man charged A Penetanguishene resident has been found guilty on eight counts of unemployment insurance fraud. According to Investigation and Con- trol Officer for Employment and Im- migration Canada, Bill Young, Leonard Giddy was found guilty and sentenced in Provincial Court in Penetang on Thursday, almost six months after the charges of fraud were laid. The eight counts stem from a 15 week period between May 1985 and August 1985 when Giddy collected $3,372 in Unemployment Insurance benefits while in the employment of Ad- co Tires in Midland where he earned $4,415.50. The Penetang man was sentenced to a $100 fine for each of the eight counts or 10 days in jail on every count by Judge Len Montgomery. spas . > pee thee EP a eg a NE le AL ee ~~ Se
