Harbour parks board submit resignation Victoria Harbour of- ficials may not have to dis- band the municipality's Parks and Recreation Board if a proposal by Reeve Bill Varney to aban- don the present committee structure for the establishing of an ex- ecutive committee, after last Tuesday evening's meeting of the Village's council is accepted. During the regular coun- cil session, Deputy-reeve Catherine Mackenzie, who was chairing the meeting for the vacationing Reeve, announced to the au- dience, who filled the tiny council chambers, that resignations had been received by the municipal offices from the five members of the Parks and Recreation Board. Unlike the resignation of Councillor Mary Lou Mount, the letters of withdrawl from members Carol Collins, Susan Moreau, Margaret Cadeau, Judy Kaus and Dennis Esterbrook were not ac- cepted by the council. The Deputy-reeve, who did not read all of the let- ters to the area residents who attended the session, said the board had some misunderstanding about the procedure of council. "Council are elected by the residents of the Village to govern the affairs of the corporation and the board are appointed by these elected officials,' said Mackenzie. "As represen- tatives on the parks' board the members do not have the power to reject an elected member of council to their board. It is im- Walkway saved by Laura Grabinsky Running through the new development of Do- maines Bonadventure Estates (on the corner of Dunlop and Edward Streets in Pene- tanguishene) runs a well used trail. The worn path has acted over the years as a shortcut from Pene- tanguishene Secondary School (PSS) to Robert Street East. Ray Marchand, of Max- son Building Corp., in charge of the construction for Pendeco (Penetang Developing Construction) said that the trail will re- main because it was a "convenience to leave it there"'. When the corner by the High School was chosen for a housing development, Town officials made sure that the pathway was left as a 'right of way"'. It was part of the Town's agree- ment with Marchand. Since Robert Street East lacks sidewalks beyond Lorne Street, the trail is a safe means of transporta- tion for students said Mar- chand. Now it will also serve as a walkway for children from the new housing development to either an elementary school or the high school. According to Planning Advisory Committee inember John Bayfield, this is not the first time that a trail remained as a shortcut regardless of the Town's expansion. The Rolling Sands subdivision has many trails leading from road to road for easy ac- cessability accommodating youths and adults. Some of these paths, however, have been fenced off. It is assumed that the Town will eventually fence off the PSS shortcut, so that it will not interfere with home owners. Asked if this 'nuisance' will disturb potential buyers Marchand said, "People have bought lots all around but not that par- ticular lot." Eventually the lots closest to the trail will sell. material whether that council is doing a good or a bad job." Following Tuesday's meeting, Mackenzie ex- plained three of the five members-said in their let- ters of resignation they were stepping down as a result of a lack of co- operation by the council's representative Mary Lou Mount, who was ap- pointed following last November's Municipal election when Mount took her seat on council. In an interview Thurs- day morning, board member Carol Collins said the five members felt the board wasn't going anywhere with Mount as their council liason, so they requested council to try to rectify the situation. Plaque presentation Simcoe East MPP Allan Maclean, centre, presents a plaque to Ebenezer United Church's Clerk of Session, Arena board opposes bill The Penetanguishene Arena, Parks and Recrea- tion Board is joining a province-wide fight to stop a bill that would take $100 million a year away from recreation programs. Ontario Treasurer Bob Nixon wants to cut off fun- ding for sports and recrea- tion programs. If passed, Bill 38 would shift the $100 million profits from Win- tario, Lottario and Instant Games, from public pro- grams to an unspecified fund, Deputy-reeve Frances St. Amant said, quoting a report the com- mittee received from the Parks and Recreation Federation of Ontario. St. Amant says a letter "strongly objecting" to Bill 38 must demand answers to the question of where the money would go if the bill should pass. "What's going to happen to the $100 million that's sitting unspent? Is it just going to be put into the provincial coffers?" Penetanguishene Reeve and Chairman of Simcoe County council's recrea- tion committee has his own suspicions of where the re-allocated profits could go. "I think it's going to the domed stadium (in Toron- to),"' Art Stewart said. The legislation was sud- denly presented by Ontario Finance Minister Bob Nix- on in his May 13 budget. "The sad part about it is, that the Minister of Finance did it without con- sulting any of those who'd be affected," board Secretary Ron Marchildon said. "They (the Ontario finance ministry) just went out and did it." The County's recreation committee and County council have already writ- ten such letters and receiv- ed replies. Stewart said the province has skirted the issue. "They (Premier David Peterson, Finance Minister Nixon, and the minister of sports and recreation) are talking around the situa- tion. ...Our question is when Wintario was form- ed, it was for recreation and culture. Now what? We really didn't get an answer." "Is this just a one-shot deal?" he asked. "What will happen next year?" Copies of the objection letter will be sent to the premier, the minister of recreation and _ area members of parliament. The board is recommen- ding Penetang Town coun- cil write a similar letter. Other councils and recrea- tion boards in Ontario are being urged to do the same by the Parks and Recrea- tion Federation of Ontario.

Collins, a five year member of the board, said the group submitted their resignation to council when the Village officials refused to do anything about the situation. "We felt it wasn't work- ing out so we expressed our concern," said Collins, "and they told us we didn't have the right to do anything. We weren't go- ing to continue with the board if the situation wasn't going to be chang- ed." Council and the board will now be sitting down to discuss the problem fur- ther before a decision is made on the local govern- ment accepting the board members' resignation. A date for the meeting has yet to be set. = Bob Widdes, left, marking the Church's centennial celebrations Sunday morning.
