Gardner PERKINSFIELD -- Reaction to Tiny's recent bylaw restricting parking in beach trouble spots has been over- whelmingly supportive. According to township clerk, Guy Maurice, the vast majority of calls and letters received have been in favour of the measures to limit parking by 'day- trippers' to Tiny beaches. Opposition to the parking restrictions has. come from _ those operating commercial establishments in the beach area, particularly the Balm Beach Chamber of Commerce. As Mrs. Helen Wiershing of the Chamber stated at the July 16 council meeting, "If they (the public) can't park, we don't get any business."' The Balm Beach group demanded the rescinding of the no- parking bylaw, asking "What are you chasing everybody out of "the township for?" and "Who in hell asked for this anyway?" To this query Mr. Frank Keough of the Cawaja Beach Association responded '"'Every beach association in the township asked for it." When pressed 'to provide parking lots for Balm Beach, Councillor Ron Hamelin indicated that plans were being considered. However, he also pointed out the inconsistency in using the municipality's funds Charges laid Charged with the break and enter Sunday around 6 p.m. of the Victoria Harbour Municipal building are two North York area youths. Nothing seemed to be taken, say Midland OPP. Charged are Barry A. Taylor, 18, of Sheppard Avenue, North York, and Timothy D. to provide parking for outsiders, adding that commercial assessment amounts to ap- proximately one per cent of Tiny township revenues. Deputy Reeve John Lackie also emphasized that the vast majority of Tiny beach residents were in favour of con- trolling use of township beaches, saying "Those taxpayers are our bread and butter." Every man for himself in pile-up Midland police would like to know the names of the occupants of the two cars that were stopped side-by-side at the intersection of Heritage Drive and William Street in Midland Saturday morning. Frederick Scott, 21, of R.R. 1, Port Severn was fifth in line in a column of five cars that came from the east upon the two stopped cars which were blocking the way. The first and second cars were able to stop without difficulty. The driver of the third car lost control on the slippery road and spun around. The fourth car went to the left. Scott, in the outside lane, went to the left, struck the raised boulevard, and continued to knock over the traffic light pole. Damage to his car was set at $1,800. Midland police were unable to locate the occupants of the two stopped cars whose action precipitated the accident. Saturday evening a Scarborough man driving west on Heritage Drive in rain and haze did not see the island at the traffic light, where the traffic light was still down. His car received $1,500 damage when it mounted the base of the light. OPP investigate three boat thefts Elmvale OPP in- vestigated a rash of boat thefts last week from the Beaches areas.
