Indian temptress, compliments of the CBC The days of beautiful Indian princesses lived again this weekend at the Huron Indian Village as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation used the Midland site for shooting a new situation comedy pilot. Shirley Soloman Thornhill who plays the part of 'Gloria, the Ravishing Princess' suits the role very well. Braves involved in the film agreed.

Joint meeting tomorrow History is in the making for tomorrow night, when the councils and planning boards of Midland, Penetanguishene, Tiny and Tay will sit down together for a joint meeting at the Township of Tiny offices in Perkinsfield. The meeting, called by the Township ot Tiny, is being held to discuss two issues. One is the development of the stretch of Highway 27 running between Highway 12 and the Penetanguishene town limits, and the other is the watershed which drains into Midland's Little Lake. Both of the areas to be discussed lie within the boundaries of Tiny, but they will both have an effect on one or more of the other municipalities invited to the meeting. The meeting begins at 8:00 p.m. Tractor accident takes a life A farm tractor accident on the third con- cession of Tiny Township took the life of 49 year old Lyall Doan between 7: 30 and 8:30 Thursday morning. Doan was driving his tractor on the con- cession road when he lost control. The vehicle veered into the ditch and flipped over, pinning Doan under the machine. Coroner Dr. Robert Besly of Pt. McNicoll pronounced Doan dead on the scene. Constable Stafford from the Elmvale detachment of the O.P.P. was the in- vestigating officer. Doan is survived by his wife, Doreen and five children, four of which still live at home. The family farm is on the first concession of Tiny township. Summer is officially here It may come as a surprise to those who spent the Victoria Day weekend lounging in the sun and swimming in Georgian Bay, but summer did not officially arrive until yesterday. The summer solstice occurred at exactly 8:14 a.m., which means that yesterday was the longest day of the year. From here on in the days will begin to get shorter, although it won't be noticeable for a while yet.

Plans for new subdivision unveiled Few attend special meeting A special public meeting of the Penetanguishene Planning Board Monday night attracted about four or five ratepayers interested in seeing a Bee for a new subdivision in town. Apartment Progess is also continuing on another in town; the board has received revised plans from Toronto builder Natale Pin for an apartment block he has proposed in the east end of town. The board's development committee had looked at the plans submitted earlier this' year by Pin, and advised him what it felt should be changed. Now that it has received the revised plans, it will take a look at them, and call a public meeting so that the ratepayers in the affected area can also take a look at them. Such a meeting could be called between now and the board's next regular meeting on July 18. In Tiny Township The proposal, which would be located in the lands to the west of Park Street, and to the south of the abandoned CNR right-of-way, calls for the construction of 63 single family dwellings, and one multiple family dwelling, plan revised Development committee chairman Ross Spearn emphasized that time is of the essence, since the town has agreed to post- pone building an apartment building in its own subdivision to allow Pin to go ahead with his proposal. The town's housing policy states that only a certain number of apart- ment units can come on the market in any given year, and Pin's proposal combined with the town's plans would have exceeded that number. Spearn said that if the Pin project could not go ahead quickly, the town should be allowed to get its apartment building back on stream without delay. Pioneer Village plans Okay with Penetanguishene Planning Board Monday night said it had no objections to a proposed "pioneer village' type of development on Highway 27 in the Township of Tiny. The board had received a copy of an amendment to Tiny's official plan, con- cerning the development, from the Ministry of Housing. Official plans and amendments to official plans for municipalities are routinely cir- culated to the planning boards of neigh- bouring icipalities for their c or objections. The pioneer village, to be developed by Marcelville Antiques on Highway 27 just outside the Penetanguishene town limits, is to include a carriage shop, a cabinet maker's shop, a blacksmith's shop, a general store, a board harness maker's building, a Victorian house, a settler's cabin, and an auberge Board member Ross Spearn voiced some concern that if the development was as successful as its proprietor intended, it could cause traffic problems at its access point on Highway 27. The Tiny-Tay Peninsula Planning Board coordinator, Mike Ufford, who attended Monday night's meeting as a spectator, pointed out to the board that the Township of which would probably be a 10-unit low den- sity apartment block. Development committee chairman Ross Spearn told the ratepayers, "'we want your feedback". But few questions were asked, and no criticism of the plan was offered. Spearn told the group that the proposal involved about 19 acres of land, to be divided into lots at least 60 feet by 120 feet, and in many cases 60 feet by 140 feet. He said that while the density considered desirable by the town was about 18 persons per acre, the The 52 pages Penetanguishene Citizen Wednesday, June 22, 1977 density in the proposed subdivision would be about 10 persons per acre. As the portion of the meeting dealing with the proposed subdivision came to an end without any apparent objections from the ratepayers, board chairman Larry McDonald told them they would still get another chance to object to the plan when and if an amendment to the zoning bylaw was proposed to allow the development to proceed.

Board chairman Larry McDonald said he thought the development could be a great asset to the area. How's that again? Tiny Planner Roger Robitaille points out some of the major features of the Toanche Secondary Plan at the Toanche Fire Hall Saturday, as planning board chairman Bert Desroches looks on. A large number of ratepayers turned out to look at the plan being presented publicly for the first time. Staff photo Secondary plan for Toanche made public Anumber of residents of the Toanche area in the Township of Tiny turned out Saturday to see a secondary plan for the area, presented at the Toanche Fire Hall. Tiny Planning Board chairman Bert Desroches and the board's secretary Roger Robitaille were both on hand from 10:00 in the morning to 2:00 in the afternoon to describe and explain the plan to interested ratepayers, and various members of the Tiny council, including Reeve Morris Darby and Deputy Reeve Hilda Sibthorpe, also put in an appearance, The basic goals of the secondary plan are: 1. To establish a viable community centred on the existing Hamlet of Toanche. 2. To provide a buffer between the Town of Penetanguishene and the urban area of Toanche. 3. To ensure that development occurs on land suitable for development and not on those which are- deemed to be en- vironmentally sensitive.

To ensure that development does not form a continuous strip or urban area bet- ween the existing community of Toanche and the Town of Penetanguishene. One of the major features of the plan is the rerouting of Champlain Road, so as to reduce the number of intersections creating traffic problems, and eliminate the 90 degree curve on the north side of Toanche. Another feature is the creation of a strip of environmental protection area along the waterfront of Toanche. That feature proved to be the cause of some concern at the meeting, since a number of poeple in the area own or use docks built along the waterfront. Robitaille said the idea of the secondary plan was to eventually turn the waterfront strip into a recreational aréa, but he said that existing uses would not be banned. Further development on the areas would, however, be discouraged. Robitaille said that under the original Official Plan, the population projection for the Toanche area was approximately 9,000. Under the secondary plan, that figure would reduce to about 1,200, with about 1,000 of those people living within the hamelt of Toanche itself. With respect to the problem along the waterfront, Robitaille said there are some problems at present over who actually owns the land. He said existing docks would not be torn down, but new ones would not be en- couraged. He said it was the wish of the planning board that the township eventually assume ownership of the land. The Tiny planning board is accepting comments and criticisms about the plan, in writing, until June 30. That's knot how it's done The students of Samuel Hearne School in Searboro gather closely around sailor (tour guide) Murray Paul at the Historic Naval and Military Establishments. He's demonstrating the use of a fid which loosens knots. Staff photo Students learn history at Establishments by Pat McGee . There are many ways history can be learned. Names and dates can be crammed into one's memory and if you're lucky they'll stay there until the test or exam is written. Or you can wade through thick volumes with your eyelids propped open so you won't snooze through chapter 32. But perhaps the most interesting method of absorbing history is to walk through it and experience it from the inside. This is not always possible but in Penetanguishene it is. The Historic Naval and Military Establish- ments offer this inside look at one of Canada's early defence stations. To put the Establishments in the proper context a tour begins with a brief slide show to inform and to jog memories. It all began back around 1815 when the British were feeling rather nervous sitting so close to United States. They calmed their fears of an American invasion by setting up a post for the Royal Navy at Penetanguishene. The idea was to protect the supply routes to \ Oe SR the Canadian North-West and also York, which is now Toronto. The 104 miles to York would .take six days on foot and the British rationalized that if Americans managed to get past the Establishment there would still be enough time to get warning to York. The Royal Navy first came in 1814 and at that time the nearest settlement was York so if a sailor wanted to dessert he had a long hike to civilization. The British Army came to the Establishment in 1828 and stayed until 1856. This bit of background gives a broad outline of why the Establishment came to be and since the Royal Navy was the first to arrive, it's buildings are a logical start of the tour The 1970s are left behind at the slide show as the student of history ¢limbs on the large wagon driven by two horses. It's about three- quarters of a mile journey down the dirt road and the view of Georgian Bay is terrific. cont'd on p.2 | | | /
