Giant's Tomb Islan couldchangehands? by MARK BOURRIE Giant's Tomb Island could become part of the Georgian Bay Islands National Park if an agreement is reached in federal-provincial negotiations. Richard McArthur, an official of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, which ad- ministers provincial parks, said a settlement between Parks Canada and his ministry is not likely in the near future bul talks are underway for the province to trade its large land holdings on Giant's Tomb for the federal Flowerpot Islands near 'Tober- mory. Giant's Tomb is now maintained by the Staff of Awenda Park. 'The federal government Owns about 50 acres near the lighthouse on the south end of the island. 'The province owns the rest, except for a five- acre parcel on the south end, owned by a Penetanguishene de- veloper, and waterfront property on the north peninsula, which is owned by a_ private developer, who is now selling one acre parcels for about $20,000 an acre. * Wath thie-s e said the Flowerpot Islands would become part of Fathom Five provincial Park, near Tobermory. Giant's Tomb would be run by the Georgian Bay Islands National Park. As it is now, staff of the national park have to do a Jot of travelling back and forth, while we don't have the resources to develop Giant's Tomb. "A lot of people use the island for camping, and we have managed to keep it fairly clean by sending crews of Junior Rangers over" from Awenda, but it would be difficult for use to develop if into a full scale provincial park." Giant's Tomb is about two miles from the tip of Methodist Point and about 14 miles from Penetanguishene by walter. 'The east shore is a sandy beach that is popular with boaters and fishermen. McArthur said the province Is trying not to promote the island for camping, due io the cost of maintainance, but it is legal to camp on Giant's Tomb for free. It's in the cards: chief age of majority card program, June 21-22 by CAROL DIMOCK An 'age of majority card' program, scheduled for the Mountainview Mall on Thursday, June 21 and Friday, June 22, will benefit local youths who need identification to enter licensed premises as well as the proprietors of such premises, says Penetanguishéne Police Chief Robert Cummings. Chief Cummings was asked by a number of local hotel and lounge owners to arrange the program, because many are having trouble with underage people trying to get into their premises. Many would-be patrons of these establishments insist that they are over the age of majority but have no identification to prove it. When turned away from the door, some become angry and may cause trouble or vandalize the premises, Chief Cummings says. Serving liquor to underage people is a serious offence, the - Chief points out. Many youths know that there is a $53 fine for underage drinking, but few realize that the waiter that serves them and the owner of the establishment may both be fined over $100; on top of that, the owner must appear before a liquor licence tribunal and convince the chairman that the offence won't happen again, or risk losing his of her licence. It's easy to see why few hotel or bar owners will risk serving someone they suspect is underage. "The age of majority card program, or Ontario Photo Card System, as it is properly called, is essential for our area," Chief Cummings says. 'I support the program whole-heartedly."' Many hotel owners will accept Age of Majority Cards as the only valid I.D. for young-looking patrons, he says. Proof of age, such as a birth certificate, and $4 is all you need to have your laminated plastic I.D. card made up, complete with your birthdate, photograph, and signature. Chief Cummings points out that 18-year-olds may attend the photo session at the Mall and have a card made up; it will be kept for them at the police station until their 19th birthday. The program will be held at Mountainview Mall from 1 to 9 p.m. on Thursday and Friday.
