Santa's on his way The ninth Santa Claus Parade organiz- ed by the Midland Civitans will take over King Street on Dec. 6. Christmas is for Kids, is the 1986 Santa Claus Parade theme. The parade usually attracts about 50 entries and takes one hour to travel from Centennial Arena to the town dock. ; Persons interested in being a part of the parade can telephone Mike Tinney (526-7269 or 526-3069) or Dick Ivens (549-2050). Tiny to set out sites Tiny Township's Environmental Ad- visory Committee (EAC) is hoping to be able to look at narrowing down the possi- ble choices for a new landfill site for the Township. In an interview last week, EAC Chair- man Art Dyer said the committee will be ready to discuss the selecting of a dump site when they meet with the public slated for Nov. 22 at 10 a.m. at The Place in Balm Beach. Dyer said a preliminary report on the sites the Township is looking at will be released in the fourth edition of the Tiny Township EAC newsletter that is to be released to the township's residents some time this week. Tiny officials have been single-handedly searching for a'dump site, to replace the Pauze dump, since July when they withdrew from the six-municipality North Simcoe Waste Management Association. The township pulled out of the group after the other members of the association refused to abandon a proposal to locate a landfill site on farmland in the south end of Tiny. soon be | ESPSS band invites choir Ecole Secondaire Penetanguishene Secon- dary School's Band is getting excited about the St. Michael's Choir School's concerts December 1. Penetanguishene is the second stop on the internationally renowned choir's Christmas tour. "It's the biggest honour we can get," said Jeanette Limoges, an ESPSS Band Parents Association member. "I think it's such a nice thing for our area." On parade Penetanguishene resident Rita Puddicomb was only one of many of the Town's residents who took part in various Remembrance Day ceremonies throughout the area over the weekend. Puddicomb, a member of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 68's Ladies' Aux- While in town, the choir will sing once as a mass choir, made up of 135 boys from grades six to 13. The entire choir will perform at St. Ann's Church at 7:30 p.m. The two- hour concert will feature classical, religious, and concert music, along with folk songs and some Broadway show tunes. While the choir is here, they will be split into three smaller choirs - a junior, a senior and a tenor and bass. In the afternoon, each choir will do a mini-concert to whet the ap- petites of local groups. inl dsiiilldesisidioilisiippissy, iliary carried the colours for her branch at the service held at Port McNicoll on Satur- day afternoon. Remembrance Day services will be held this morning on the main street of Penetanguishene at Memorial Park at 11 a.m. Edward Street forum Penetanguishene town council will be hosting a public forum to dicuss how $400,000 will be spent on the Edward Street drainage area. Clerk Yvon Gagne says the town received $200,000 from the Ontario Neighbourhood Improvement Program (ONIP), although they applied for $1.1 million. The town is meeting the provincial funds dollar for dollar, boosting the first investment to $400,000. Gagne said the town will send affected tax- payers a list of priorities for the area before the Nov. 26 meeting takes place. Then they can comment on the first phase of im- provements for the area, he said. The town's top priority is building a storm sewer from the Lucy Street area to connect with the Main Street sewer and a retaining pond between Edward and east Robert Streets to hold the spring run-off, he said. Gagne said the town will apply for more money under ONIP, because deficiencies in that area of town run about the $1.9 million mark. Planning will begin this year, and construc- tion could begin as early as late 1987, he said. The youngest choir will sing at ESPSS to school children. The intermediate choir, says Limoges, will sing to seniors at Georgian Manor. The Manor is inviting residents of the Villa and of Penetanguishene General Hospital's chronic care unit. The most senior choir will sing at St. Theresa's high school in Midland, in an attempt to attract the Midland crowds. The band's share of the proceeds, split evenly between the band and the choir, from the concert will be used to assist the band members to go to the International Youth Music Festival in Harrogate, England in April. Music teacher Blake Smith says it is quite an honour for his school to go to the festival. He says only two or three bands from 12 countries are accepted every year. The band had to audition by tape. While in England, the bands will play at least six concerts, and they will also have a chance to learn more from top British musicians. The cost per student is almost $1500, ex- cluding spending money, said Limoges. The ESPSS' guests, St. Michael's Choir, has been touring North America since 1972. The group has also been abroad, delighting au- diences in Belgium, England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. The choir school seeks to encourage choirs and to give others an experience of Canada. Limoges says St. Ann's can hold 700, and the band hopes to draw a full-house crowd. Tickets are $10 and are available at the ESPSS office (549-7446), Ted Light's TV (549-7978), Ken Gauthier's Sports (549-7652), Johnstone's Music Land (526-7821), St. Ann's Church (549-2568),and Rolfoto in Mountain- view Mall (526-7171).

Following the winds came hail and later snow late Sunday and yesterday. Half the town was left in darkness Sunday morning, when a huge tree limb, broken off ~ by the wild winds, fell and broke the power lines on Owen Street between Robert and Water Sts., police said. Lights were also knocked out by other wind-damaged lines, according to Pene- tanguishene Water and Light Manager Ernest Lalonde. Lalonde added both incidents oc- curred closely together, so residents could think that the outage was caused only by the Owen Street damage. Power east of Main Street was out from 10:30 Sunday morning to about 1:30 that afternoon. Police added the traffic lights in town were not working, but there were no accidents. Extremely high water levels were caused by the ravaging winds, stranding a few vehicles in the lake near the town docks. Similar incidents occurred along the coastline. As of press time yesterday, slippery roads caused no accidents. Police Chief Bob Cum- mings, added however, that one car landed in a ditch near Lucy and Robert Streets. The car was going west downhill on Robert when it slid off the road. The weather forecast is snow, snow and more snow. Ogilvie won't take back seat...see pg. 5
