Hospital Barrie woman injured By SUE ROUTLIFFE Examiner Staff Reporter Snowmobilers in the Barrie area now need special licence to drive their machines if they dont have regular drivers licence say area police New regulations affecting snowmobilers went into effect this week requiring that drivers 16 years of age and over ap ply for the licence to drive alongside public roads Drivers aged 14 to 16 will need the licence to drive on public trails or across highways Drivers 12 and 13 years old will need the licence to drive on public trails Applicants must produce evidence they have attended course of instruction recognized by the Ministry of Transportation says Staff Sgt Ralph Berry of the Barrie city police and they must have passed the ministry test The special licences would expire once drivers licence was issued he said The course runs six to eight hours says Cpl Wes Prosser district community services officer for the Ontario Provin cial Police He says local snowmobiling clubs are taking on the responsibility of running them Rick Hubbard president of the Huronia Sno Voyageurs is teaching one of those courses next Saturday at the Ministry of Natural Resources building in Midhurst One has already been held in early February he says Classes average from 30 to 40 youths Anyone using public trails will need the licence says Cpl Prosser who says drivers will be subject to almost the same laws as regular drivers If someone broke the law and was under 16 years of age they would be tried in juvenile court and would be fined if they were found guilty he said While the application is not the same as one for regular licence said Sgt Berry it is identical in many areas Snowmobilers can be charged with careless driving fail ing to stop or yield and impaired driving he said The new legislation could cut down on any problems with snowmobiles says Constable Ron Golden community ser vices officer for the Barrie OPP if it is properly enforced It would be difficult to determine the age of someone in snowmobile suit as to whether they were 12 or 16 he said The Barrie Examiner Saturday March 1977 New snowmobile regulations better get that licence The only way you could if you were suspicious would be to stop them Barrie area snowmobile clubs support the legislation says Constable Golden The Huronia club has had problems with unlicensed drivers using their trails and damaging the trials and signs he said We have had an intensive patrol for the last two weeks in the Midhurst area watching for the drivers who are causing problems he said and its paid off Incidents involving unlicensed or uninsured drivers caus ing problems are down he said Constable Golden says the new legislation promotes safe yIt keeps the youngsters off the road he said although those between 14 and 16 can go on the highway just to cross it He says it should also give drivers respect for their machines Some people have tried to treat snowmobiles like toys he said but they can be dangerous machines barrie today BISHOP ALLAN Read left discusses details of Fridays Lenten service with Tanon William Nainby of Barries Trinity Anglican Church Bishop Read former rector of Trinity

God say the mer diants along the northern half Bayfield Street In recent interview provio dll transport minister James how told the Examiner his government is considering widening upper Bayfield Street to six lanes For the merchants along that strip that good news Anything the government can do to eliminate traffic congestion along that strip is good news said Don Alexander owner of Bayfield Sunoco Car Wash It takes me 20 minutes to get from Bayfield Sunoco to High way 400 on bad day he said When traffic is congested at his car wash drops 70 per cent People dont want to fight the trafficjust to get car wash he said Weve been after an alleviation to the traffic congestion Jack Yocom of Color Your World and finally someone on council is going to do something about it Traffic congestion is bad for business he said People come to the stores if they want something in particular he ex plained but wont likely come upjust to look around Yocom said something must also be done to provide junc tion between his property and Bayfield Mall The land is at two levels he said separated garbage The junction road is probably the responsibility of the fan downers he said but it will take pressure from city council to get any action The eventual solution to the traffic problem would be ex tending Toronto Street over Highway 400 and up behind the malls he said Bill Buckley manager of Bayfield Mall said something has to be done to solve the traf fic problem and widening the roads would be better than stop gap measures Business continues despite the traffic he said but its frustrating for customers What starts out to be Alexander estimates business by dirty mound 0f grass and pleasant trip turns out to be not Ngw in downtown Barrie so pleasant he said Widening the upper

The tourism director of the Wasaga Beach Chamber of Commerce said last week that polluting Nottawasaga Bay is very real danger unless the provin cial government goes ahead with its proposed sewer project forthetown Carl Mitchell said in an inter view that the province pre pared sewer servicing scheme in 1971 but nothing has been done about it He said the province was prepared to go ahead with the scheme in 1971 but the town held back because the provin cial government agreed to pay for only 50 per cent of the pro ject Town council he said held out for five years until the province agreed to fund 75 per cent of the project However at the same time the province decided not to charge the towns biggest land owner the provincial ministry of natural resources for its share of the remaining 25 per cent The total cost of the sewers was estimated originally at $20 million but that figure grew to $30 million over five years The ministry of natural resources Mitchell said would have paid up to $7 million of the local bill for the sewers When town officials asked the province why the ministry of natural resources share of the cost was deleted he said they were told it was just filler figure Each property owner would pay $202 toward installing the sewer he said That figure would be significantly higher he said without the ministry of natural resources contribu tion Mitchell said town officials were so upset about the finan cial arrangements that they went to Premier William Davis todiscussthe situation Davis agreed the town needs the sewers Mitchell said but the premier cautioned that the money would be hard to find in period of government re straiiit CARL MITCHELL very real danger Mitchell said that unless the sewer system is installed it is only matter of time before pollution kills Nottawasaga Bay and takes the town with it If we pollute that bay thats it he said You can start roll ing up the streets He said the sewers must be put in to replace the septic tanks which now service the en tiretown The soil in Wasaga Beach he said isideally suited for sep tic tanks But it will only take so much Once the sewers are install ed Mitchell predicted that the town can look forward to more commercial and industrial development that will help ease the tax burden on residential property owners He said about 90 per cent of the towns tax assessment now comes from residential proper ties Sewers would also mean that existing businesses could ex pand their facilities he said Two hotel owners agree Greg Dyer owner of the Nancy Villa Hotel and Margaret Hut chinson who owns the Dyconia Hotel both said they want to expand their facilities but cant until sewers are installed If had sewers said Dyer could build another 40 units His hotel can ac commodate up
