Metro More on 'no parking' issue Dear Sir: Six hundred and thirty 'No Parking' signs, at a cost of over $20 per sign without installation, have been erected on all Tiny Beaches' access roads with more to come. Five hundred or more tickets at $10 apiece have been issued so far. The purpose of this new bylaw was defined by one elected representative in a short statement: "'To keep the day-trippers and outsiders away from the beaches." The above information came to light at a meeting called by the "Tiny Shoreline Study Committee'"' on Aug. 16, 1980. If you are a permanent resident of Tiny but do not live at the beach, you are considered an outsider. This bylaw authorizes the Bylaw Enforcement Officer to call a tow truck owner of his choice to have your car towed away. So, if your car is missing, phone the OPP in Midland and you will be informed that your car has not been stolen and where it can be picked up at a cost exceeding $20. At present, at least until the next election, it is Tiny Council's intent to leave the 'No Parking' signs up all year round. One cottage owner asked if he would be ticketed if he couldn't drive to his cottage due to snow con- ditions and parked in a 'No Parking' area. A member of the Committee then pointed out that the whole subject will be the matter of a "Con- sultant's" study and report. It would appear that it seems to hurt when the shoe is on the other foot. Limited parking for "outsiders"' is available at: Woodland Beach, Scott Park, Lafontaine Beach Park, Peek-a-Boo Trail and Wanekewana Beach. If these places are packed by 9 a.m. keep on travelling. Never mind that the beaches belong to the public. One councillor mentioned that the tourists are spending very little money in Tiny Township. To be honest, I must say that I agree with that statement. However, I have to add that this is due to a complete lack of opportunity to spend any money. A recent visitor and his family was looking for good accoyimodations and service in' the Tiny Beach area. Due to a lack of adequate commercial accommodation, the family was referred to Midland or Wasaga Beach. This chosen establishment charged $50 a night for accommodation only. This hotel also employs 12 people full time, all year round. Tiny Township with its 45 miles of beaches and shoreline, envied by the rest of the province, provides practically no job opportunities for the permanent residents and / or 'their children. With proper leadership, Tiny could be the "Myrtle Beach'"' of the North. Planned commercial development would create jobs for permanent residents. Tiny taxpayers' money is used to inconvenience him, fine him, tow his car away and, in practicality, deny him access to a public beach. May I apologize to my friends in Midland, Penetanguishene, Tay Township and visitors to this area for this bylaw. Businessmen in the villages of Tiny and the towns of Penetanguishene and Midland should recognize the golden opportunity this bylaw has created to provide parking and transportation service to the beaches. Make visitors to this area feel welcome. If you feel strongly about this issue contact your elected representative, write to the "Tiny Shoreline Study Committee" and/or phone your Queen's Park representative and tell him what you think about this issue. Remember, time for change is at the ballot box. Pat Eichler RR1, Wyevale Two thousand thank-yous Dear Sir: Two thousand "thank-yous" from the H.D.H. Auxiliary to all the men, women and children who so generously supported the Auxiliary's annual Tag Day. v special thank-you to Mrs. Jarmyn, Victoria Harbour, for her welcome assistance. Sometime in the future, when it is reported that new and needed equipment has been purchased for the hospital by the Auxiliary, everyone who wore a tag can truthfully say 'I helped!" Sincere appreciation from the convener Jean Bonyun and Auxiliary president Barbara Simpson. Marion Sleep Publicity Chairman Page 8, Wednesday, August 20, 1980 Toronto Chairman Paul Godfrey, trying to retain the championship will have 1979 winner Alderman John Wimbs at the controls. Chairman Godfrey will be in attendance to greet all competitors. A special Northern Ontario heat will have at least three starters, Mayor Dusty Miller of Thunder Bay _ has nominated Alderman Dale Willoughby to be her champion but Mayor's Aurele Gervais of Iroquois Falls and Allan Avis of Fort Francis will compete in person. The competition will not be easy to win with participating veterans such as Mayors Dave Macdonald of Orillia, Moreland Lynn _ of Midland; Bob Rutherford, Owen Sound; Ted Blowes, Stratford and 1977 champion Allan Sander of Gravenhurst in the race. Mayor Ross Archer of Barrie is again sending experienced Alderman Ernie Rotman _ to challenge the field. From other Metro Toronto training camps, Mayor Gayle Christie of York Borough is taking her entry seriously and North York City Mayor Mel Lastman believes that Controller Esther Shiner, who has been conserving her energy for this event will be the victor. Mayor Gus Harris of Scarborough is again sending Controller Brian Harrison as his white hope. From Etobicoke Camp rumours are flying that Mayor Dennis Flynn's nominee Alderman Dick O'Brien will arrive with a large and enthusiastic en- tourage in keeping with the legend of the borough. The race becomes international with the Mayor of Buffalo Jim Griffin naming his deputy Fred Langden to be the standard bearer for the USA. Gone Forever!
