a hg cl A RR RR Se Shoreline work begins in Tiny Breakwall construction has already begun at various park areas in Tiny Township after council consented to construct breakwalls on municipally owned shoreline proper- ties where the abutting pro- perty owners have com- pleted their own shoreline protection. According to Ad- ministrator Guy Maurice, the township will under- take the construction if the adjacent property owners make a request to council to do so. This is just another measure taken by Tiny to help taxpavers battle the situation ; » a result of the high wa..r levels that have plagued the shoreline of Georgian Bay this year. "We feel we should do something to help retain properties in areas where the property owners have done work themselves to retain the shoreline," said Tiny Reeve Morris Darby. Tiny Township has been one of the hardest hit areas of North Simcoe as a result of the extraordinary high water levels. In some parts of the municipality, areas where beach areas extend- ed out 100 to 150 feet have been reduced to nothing. Although council originally approved con- struction of a corrugated steel breakwall on Bluewater beach at their last meeting, requests have come in and been approv- ed for areas on Silverbirch Beach and Lakeview on Woodland Beach explain- ed Maurice. Reeve Darby explained since the unforeseen con- struction was not budget- ted for in this year's budget, money for the work has been coming out of a reserve fund for the Parks and Recreation. So far almost $30,000 has been taken out of the parks boards purse to complete breakwalls on the parklands. Additional $30,000 worth of construction for shoreline protection has Budget checked Before the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) approves the final 1986 operations budget for the North Simcoe Waste Management Association's (NSWMA) Recycling Pro- gram cuts will have to be made. According to Recycling Program Manager Anne Desroches, local represen- tatives met with Adam Ciulini of the MOE to discuss what areas of the budget the Ministry feels should be axed. Desroches said _ the association will not be receiving. the total grant they requested from the MOE way back in April. Many projects for the program have been put on hold until the budget ap- proval comes down. : The association was ask- ing for over $120,000 to subsidize the program for this year. Desroches explained one area the government would like to see the local program cut back is in the cost per tonne to pick-up the recyclable materials. It is costing the NSWMA almost $300 a tonne for the collection said Desroches, whereas the MOE feels it should be between $80 and $90 a tonne in comparison. Although the govern- ment agency is pleased with the percentage of Fish hunt With a loss of revenue from this year's annual fish hunt sponsored by the Penetanguishene Rotary Club, changes in the for- mat will have to be made - for next year's event. According to Club Presi- dent John Arbour, the club went about $1,200 in the ,hole with this summer's fish hunt that ran from June 28 to Aug. 2. "We are planning it again for next year," said Arbour, 'but before we do anything we'll have to study the downfalls of this year's fish hunt and see how we can improve it for next year." households participating, which is around the 11 per cent mark, the actual volume is low. Desroches said they are hoping to in- crease the volume of recyclable materials col- lected through the im- plementation of the pilot project in the Town of Midland for the months of September and October. During the month of August, the Village of Port MeNicoll was on the top of the pile for household par- ticipation at 12.32 per cent. Tiny Township was se- cond on the list with an average of 10.49 per cent, followed very closely by the Town of Midland at 10.06 per cent. Desroches said the ideal number would be 20 per cent but, as well, the 'amount of recyclable goods out out for the curbside pickups must also increase. Next month will mark the first anniversary of the recycling program in the 'Towns of Penetanguishene and Midland, the Townships of Port MeNicoll and Victoria Harbour and the Townships of Tay and Tiny. been executed on road allowances in the Township.

"This should ease the burden on the Township somewhat," said Darby. "We shouldn't be expected to make considerable con- tributions towards this pro- blem when it isn't budget- ted for." Maurice explained in order for the council's ap- proval for the installation of the breakwalls, the pro- perties will be inspected by the Roads superintendent, Roads Department Chair- man Ross Hastings and Reeve Darby.
