ee AEST FERRETS Changes at Tiny offices Renovations are underway at the Tiny Township offices on the Balm Beach Road. By moving some of the facilities around inside the building it will be possible to provide new office space for the growing Tiny council sticks with by-law The Pashby family, residents of Wymbolwood Beach, have lost what ap- pears to be the third and final round in their struggle against municipal authorities in Tiny Town- ship. Dr. W.T. Pashby and his son appeared before Tiny council last week to seek council's special permission to allow a disputed carport to remain standing. Last year, the township obtained a court injunction to have the carport removed, as it had been erected too close to the road allowance. The cottage and carport was purchased by the Pashbys from Gerry Reedy, and as clerk Guy Maurice pointed out to council, the Pashbys had purchased the property knowing that there was an order against the title to have the carport removed. Following the purchase of the property, Dr. Pashby applied to the committee of adjustment for a minor variance, and was refused. The decision was appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board, which upheld the committee's decision. In order that the carport not present a traffic hazard, Dr. Pashby told the council he was prepared to make a number of alterations to the Waterloo students visit MH Centre Accompanied by their professor, Dr. C.A. Griffith, close to 50 first year students from the recreation course at the University of Waterloo came to the Mental Health Centre, Penetanguishene, March 24th, for a one-day workshop. The day con- cluded with an evening of dancing when patients and visitors mixed together in the merriment. Dr. Griffith, who is known to his friends and acquaintances as "'Chuck", said this is the sixth time he has brought his first-year class to Penetanguishene. Asked what he felt was the value of the visit, he said, "I think it has considerable value, and this is evidenced in the fact that one of these students is coming here to work in the fall. We usually have at least one of our students working here during their work period." He was referring to the fact that this is a co-operative course where the students alternate in periods between class and work. He further mentioned that evidence of the esteem in which students hold Penetanguishene after their visit is the fact that a group of second-year students who are presently located at the ° Huronia Regional Centre in Orillia, had come over to join in for the evening dance. Dr. Griffith was asked whether the visit resulted in any number of students entering the mental health field. He stated that to date, with the exception of municipal parks and recreation programs, which hold first place, the majority of graduating students have entered special fields such as mental health. '"'As a matter of fact, two of my former students who have spent periods here at Penetanguishene are presently doing post graduate work in the mental _gegalth field in the United Ries." Among several students who were questioned about their visit was Sue Chadsey of Ottawa. She said she had found the visit "fascinating'"'. Sue con- tinued, "I find the programs being offered are excellent, and everything is so well organized -- they even have more going for them here than we have outside."' Asked if she would like to work here she said she felt it would be a good place to work. Cathy White of Hamilton said she had enjoyed her afternoon very much. About working here: "I obtained a job application this af- ternoon in an attempt to work here this summer." Nancy McCann of Mississauga said she felt the staff is doing here what they are being taught they should be doing. "Coming here gives us a different per- spective -- a broader base to work from," she said. ee ae township staff. building inspector has his office in the basement.

Both deputy-reeve Hilda Sibthorpe and councillor Basil Dorion spoke strongly against granting special permission to the Pashbys. The zoning bylaws are there for a reason, said Dorion, and council had no choice but to live by those by-laws. From students' council Board meeting impressed Bayview students Eight Bayview Public School students, who sat in on last week's Simcoe County Board of Education meeting in Barrie, were impressed by the efficiency and organization of board meetings. The eight students' council members observed the meeting with the intention of studying the committee structure of the board and the format of board meetings. The Bayview students have recently set up a students' council and are exploring ways and means to handle special events. The meeting was "a lot more organized and moved By Elmvale OPP along faster" than council vice-president Kim Presse expected. With the com- mittee system used by the board, the '"'work" was all done and everyone knew what was going on," she said. Still, at times she found it was hard to follow what was going on. Grade 6 class represen- tative Deane Woods agreed that the board meetings were more organized than Bayview's council meetings, and that trustees "go through things faster than we do." Because of this, it was sometimes hard to figure out what they were talking about, he added. Motions were carried Five Midland persons charged in break-in Five Midland persons have been charged with break, enter, and theft and possession of stolen goods as a result of a break-in at a Balm Beach cottage. The Elmvale detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police laid charges after apprehending the five persons last Wednesday. . About $800 in goods were stolen from a cottage of James Warnock of Balm Beach. Charged with break, enter and theft and possession of stolen goods are James of Applied Arts and Technology 401 Duckworth Street, Barrie,O BAR TENDING FEE: $25.00 -- 8 weeks FEE: $25.00 -- 8 weeks GOLF SCHOOL Georgian College SPRING COURSES All you will need to know about stocking and managing a bar, and making mixed drinks.

He noticed that everyone on the board did not participate in the discussions. "Some just sit there and hardly say anything," said Jerry Richard, grade 7 class representative. Midland's trustee on the board won high praise from the Bayview students. In. Doug's words, 'he's a go- getter', who par- ticipates in most discussions. John McCullough, board chairman Frank Prothero, education director Jack Ramsay, and Barrie trustee Dr. Fisher were the ones who consistently expressed their opinions, they felt. To Deane it seemed as_ though McCullough "'is doing his job representing Midland." Deane said he hoped to invite the Midland trustee to one of the council's meetings, so he could "'tell us what we're doing wrong." "When we have our meetings, often two people talk at once," said Susan Jeannotte, secretary of the students' council. The main thing that she got out of the Hillsdale Pools CHEMICAL POOL SUPPLIES Hillsdale, Ontario 835-2239 = meeting was seeing "'how to run our meetings better," and understanding the committee structure. There was some discussion at the board meeting on the gradual change in the schools from the imperial system of measurement to the metric system and the part school children will play in educating their parents. "Tt makes me feel important to think that I will be teaching my mum and dad," said Doug. The students felt the trustees were receptive to them at the meeting and were interested in what they had to say.
