MEER CTS ee oN eR NERO Tiny goes ahead with water project Despite opposition from 138 homeowners in the northern section of the Georgian Sands Subdivi- sion, Tiny Township coun- cil will commence with plans for a new water system. At last Wednesday's meeting of the municipali- ty's council, the five 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 (OMB). Residents in the nor- thern section subdivision had until June 30 to register their objections with the Township. Although 138 residents, or 40 percent of the homeowners, were oppos- ed to the Township's pro- posal under the Local Im- provement Program, 51 percent of the taxpayers must object to the plan Council session in historic setting Penetanguishene's Town council took a break from their regular meeting routine last Monday night by holding their annual meeting at the Historic Naval and _ Military Establishments (HNME). The nine-member coun- cil set sail from the Town Dock on the Establishments' Schooner Bee, accompanied by a crew of nine mates, short- ly after 6 p.m. Upon arrival at the historic British base, coun- cil were escorted to the site's store house where they were greeted by their hostess, Public Relations Officer Shirley Whittington. While enjoying a refreshing glass of lemonade council was given a brief history of the site by interpreter Russell Moore before commencing their short, informal session. Council members found themselves reliving part of the history of their predessors, by gathering around the Town's more then a century old council table for their session at the site. The round table, that was used for many a council meetings while housed in the Municipal Offices un- til 1959, is barely showing signs of its age. The historic centre piece which has been in storage since it was removed from the council chambers after a fire in the Town offices and that year was recently found amongst the many artifacts at the HMNE. The only piece missing, to make the meeting around the historic table complete, was the mayor's chair. The matching seat can still be found in the Town's council chambers. Whittington told the council she hoped the Town would one day take the antique table and put it on display at the Centen- nial Museum. St. James service to mark birthday A special celebration will be held at St. James-on-the- Lines Church in Penetanguishene on July 27 to mark the parish's 150th anniversary. According to Reverend- Joan Waters, the service will begin at 10 a.m. and will be followed by a small reception. Rev. Waters said an- niversary celebrations are held every year, but with this being the 150th birth- day of the Garrison Church, the service will be extra special. The anniversary service, being held the Sunday following St. James Day, will be attended by a number of special guests including Bishop Reverend Taylor Pryce, the guest preacher for the celebration. : Rev. Waters said a number of former rectors from the parish will also be visiting for the day. To add to colour and pagentry to the festivities, an eight-member honour guard from the Historic Naval and Military Establishments will be pre- sent to accompany the long line of special guests to the service. Following the 10 a.m, service, Rev. Waters said, the soldiers will parade to the back of the 150-year-old Church and put on a number of displays in musketry drills and military manoeuvers. Another feature of the day will be the presence of members of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 68's Pipes and Drums.

At last Wednesday's afternoon session of Tiny Township council, Ad- ministrator Guy Maurice read council a letter from the Church's solicitor re- questing reimbursement for damages to their pro- perty done during con- struction to the Withall 'Bridge. The property in question, is adjacent to the bridge, which has been under con- struction since last summer. Township Engineer Ron before it can be stopped. Water Superintendent Hubert Charlebois said although there was 138 legitimate signatures out of the 165 names on the peti- tion, he added there seem- ed to be some confusion ga years.

One petition circulated was against the proposal, while the other was for the third phase of the water system, a reservoir to begin right away. \ Very special council session Members of the Penetanguishene Town council were the first council to meet around this century-old council table in over 25 The council table, the town's lawmakers held their informal session Town to sign apt. agreement Talks between the Town of Penetanguishene and developers with a proposal for two-eight unit com- plexes to be constructed in the Rolling Sands Subdivi- sion are coming to a close.

February, but with the other plan being unaccep- table to the Town's Hous- ing and Development Com- mittee it was ruled out by council. Gagne said the Town is ready to finalize the plans which will see the developers purchase the property at a cost of $2,000 per unit. Although the land has been appraised at a price higher then $32,000, the Administrator stated, in an effort to encourage growth in Penetang, council has agreed to sell the land at a lower price then valued. Tiny council will now deal with the matter. Reeve Morris Darby told council the municipality would not sign off Arnott Construction from the work until the matter was totally dealt with. The three stages of the project will see those lots already partially serviced, fully serviced, the totally unserviced lots, serviced and a water reservoir constructed.

Council shows appreciation Tiny Township coun- cillors interrupted their afternoon session last Wednesday afternoon to bid a fond farewell to one of the Township's employees. Reeve Morris Darby took a few minutes to say good- bye and present a bouquet of flowers to Executive Secretary Marie Cousineau. The assistant to Ad- ministrator Guy Maurice, finished her ten year tender with the municipali- ty on Wednesday. Cousineau and her fami- ly are moving to Ottawa at the end of this month. Although Cousineau said she enjoyed her stay with Coast guard demonstration This Friday night, members of the Pene- tanguishene unit of the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary will be putting on a flare demonstration. According to member Don Limoges, Friday's display, the first of its kind for the local base, in marine rescue will help not only the boaters, but landlovers as well. Limoges said he hoped the demonstration, that is slated to begin on the beach at the Inn At Baymoorings around 8 p.m., will show avid boaters how to properly set off and handle, with a. degree of safety, the four different types of flares available, The auxiliary member added that the demonstra- tion could also be useful to those property owners along the shoreline. With flares often being mistaken for fireworks, Limoges said it is important for these property owners to be able to recognize the four dif- ferent distress flares that are used by boaters. The Penetang unit of the Coast Guard are also look- ing to have representatives from the Midland detach- ment of the Ontario Pro- vincial Police and the Rescue unit from Port Severn on hand for the evening, the municipality she was now looking forward to replaced by spending sometime in Ot- Township tawa with her family. 4 | | | 1a" Hello and goodbye Cousineau is being another employee, Carole Crossley.
