Unable to organize Candidates for the Con- servative nomination in Muskoka-Georgian Bay speak of "instant Liberals" who don't have "grass roots" support, unable to organize an efficient nomination meeting. "I might be saying the same things if I were in their position,"' Ken Black says. Black is the Liberal stan- dard bearer in the coming provincial election. The PC candidates' disparaging comments about the Liberals reflect the locally entrenched par- ty's recognition that the trend to supporting the Liberal Party is strong, and that a Liberal victory is possible, Black said. The Liberal government is popular; it has been do- ing a good job for 22 months; David Peterson is a popular premier; and the Liberals are highly rated in opinion polls, Black said. Some of the new Liberals could be called "instant" Liberals, Black said. Most of the card carrying Liberals in Muskoka- Georgian Bay are new Liberals. The membership mushroomed to close to 1,100 for the Liberal nomination meeting. "A lot of people have joined the Liberal Party. That's a fact." And they are work- ing for the party, he said "You can't tell me that that doesn't represent significant growth and support from the grass roots." The vote on election day will be the Conservatives' answer, Black said. Responding to the Con- servatives saying that near- ly half of the Liberals at the nomination meeting didn't vote for Black, Black said that fact reflected the situa- tion that the Liberals had to make a choice between strong candidates on the final ballot. "It's a good in- dication of our associa- tion's strength that we pro- duced candidates who did attract support, and that their supporters did attend the nomination meeting." Dump search costs money The search for a replace- ment for the Pauze dump in Perkinsfield is costing the municipalities the North Simcoe Waste Management Association (NSWMA) more money than originally anticipated. At last Tuesday even- ing's session of the NSWM<A, officials approv- ed taking over $84,000 out of their property reserve fund to cover the operation deficit for 1986. According to the associa- tion's Administration and Finance Chairman Nancy Keefe, the additional ex- penditure is a result of complications in preparing for an Environmental Assessment (EA). In 1986, $100,000 was budgeted by the member municipalities for the search for a landfill site and the preparation of a proposal for an en- vironmental assessment, but the cost incurred was over $180,000. Keefe said this was a result of additional demands placed on the consultants to undertake extra tests and to produce additional reports. The Administration and Finance Committee Chair- man told NSWMA officials the other reason behind the association going over their allotted budget was that fact that not all the levies that were expected to be paid were received by the association. Keefe said the money which will be transferred should be recovered in the reserve fund when the levies for 1987 are col- lected from the municipalities. Public meeting details plan This evening' the Midland waterfront development committee's revised, final version of its suggested plan of develop- ment for the town's water- front, will be explained to the public. Committee chairman Bruce Wilcox thinks peo- ple who didn't attend an earlier public meeting should attend to get a first hand explanation. The plan if accepted by the town council means taking the handcuffs off development on the water- front, he said. The plan gives the town a sense of direction. In the long haul the town will be beter off economically if the water- front is altered as recom- mended by the committee, Wilcox said. The $260 million estimated cost of doing everything recommended Page 4, Tuesday, April 14, in the plan means nothing, he said. The committee's concern is that the plan and the committee's recommendations be adopted by the town coun- cil. ""The real work begins then: going out and making it work," finding the need- ed investors. Acceptance by the town council of the plan does not commit the municipali- ty to spend money, he said. Wilcox used Canada Steamship Lines plan to spend $80 million to develop its Collingwood waterfront property over a stretch of seven or eight years as proof that the plan for Midland is feasible. This evening is the final time the plan will be ex- plained to the public before the plan and attendant recommendations are delivered to the council. 1987 A Liberal hasn't been elected in Muskoka in 42 years. Black didn't know how long the Georgian Bay part of the new riding has been voting Conservative. "That fact in itself (Conser- vative dominance) tells you we have a lot of work to do." Black's hope is that the positive feeling and en- thusiasm among Liberals working on the campaign will make up for the lack of all of the experience he would like to have on the Liberal team. "We are just a bunch of poor boys from across the tracks who will try to put together a campaign." He added, 'I'm speaking with my tongue in my cheek." Speaking seriously, Black said, "I don't mind coming from the underdog position."
