F986 Ye 4 R 4 | Township and Marchand headline July's news Major headlines were made by Tiny Township officials in July when the group withdrew from the six member North Simcoe Waste Management Association (NSWMA) when the other represen- tatives refused to all Tiny to single-handedly con- tinue the search for a replacement for the Pauze landfill site and refused to abandon a proposal for a new dump on a parcel of agricultural land in the south end of the township. Provincial mediator Michel Picher, who was on hand at the special meeting on July 22 said the move was very unfortunate. On July 23, Jacques Mar- chand was notified that he had won his suit against the Simcoe County Board of Education and the On- tario Ministry of Education for equal rights for the French language minority students in the Penetanguishene area. Marchand took the case to the Ontario Supreme His reutie Bahind him Downer's Yacht Haven owner, Brian Downer, stands on the end of his Midland harbour dock.

The Town of looked into a move that would alleviate traffic congestion at the corner of Champlain Road and Robert Street. It would also give transient riders a permanent home in town. According to Town Administrator Yvon Gagne, officials were look- tained the freighter caused damage to his docks. When a strong east wind blows he said, the resulting swell in the water pushes his dock apart. ing at the possibility of moving the pipe, on the west side of Champlain Road, where many area residents and cottagers stop for fresh water, across the road, next to the pum- ping stations. Gagne said as well a small area could be cleared on the town- owned land to allow for the roadside vendors to set up shop. Penetanguishene Bottl- ing-Compny applied for the: necessary bylaw changes so that it could expand its plant. The laws involve rezoning land from residential to commercial, and if rezoned, the com- pany could build a larger warehouse. Early in the month, Penetanguishene _politi- cians and workers hoped all homes in town would be completely serviced by sewers by. year's end. Council decided to spend just over $695,000 to finish the sewer construction. In the same vein, Tiny Township council began making plans for a new water system in the nor- thern section of the Georgian Sands subdivi- sion. The five council members. agreed to begin going through the proper channels to have the pro- posal for the three-phase construction under the Local Improvement Pro- gram approved by the On- tario Municipal Board. July was far from quiet. Although most of the ac- tion and excitement was at the local historical and "Partners © dwards FLOOR FASHIONS ON SALE All Christmas Gift Items Table Cloths & Napkins Linens 'Parthers and Sdwards OOR FASHIONS Placemats Your One Stop Decorating Centre Aprons Pot Holders Tea Towels 293 KING ST. 526-2271 tourist attractions in the area there was alot going on behind the scenes. In an effort to agitate members of the Midland Town Council, over the dismissal of the town's complete engineering department, organized labour got into the action. Members of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union presented their grievances about the Coun- cil's action to the town. Like Ontario physicians, who a month earlier walk- ed out of their offices in an effort to show their dissatisfaction with the Liberal government's Bill _ 94, area dentists got in on the fight. To show their anger over Bill 94, the ban on extra- billing, the 11 members of the Huronia Dental Socie- ty refused to do any dental surgery at the Huronia District Hospital or the Penetanguishene General Hospital. With the passing of Bill 94 by the provincial government, the dentists could not longer bill their patients the difference bet- ween the amount of money OHIP would pay for hospital dental surgery and the dentist's office fees. Early in the month, Robert. Morton, ad- ministrator at the Georgian Manor in Penetanguishene unveiled a $2.9 million retrofit project for the LAST WEEK WEEK home for the aged at a meeting of the Simcoe County Council. Although the proposal did not call for an increase in the number of beds at the 105 bed facility, it did call for the upgrading of the facility. Fire was responsible for the destruction of another local drinking establish- ment in Port Severn. On Ju- ly 14 a local dance hall was completely destroyed when a fire broke out in the kitchen of the Port Severn Tavern. It took firefighters from Tay Township and Honey Harbour until late in the evening to finally ex- tinquish the blaze. No one was injured in the blaze. Midland Town council gave their seal of approval in July to the construction of an 80 unit retirement home in Midland on King Street. Council had to rezone the property to allow the construction of the home which was to be in August. During the month of Ju- ly, the Ontario Supreme Court handed down a deci- sion that would set prece- dent for the rest of Canada in a case involving a Lafon- taine resident. A New Beginning!
