Council cuts short plan A motion by members of the Victoria. Harbour Council to have con- sultants for the village's waterfront masterplan stop at option four is being met with mixed reactions. At the last meeting of village council three of the members supported a mo- tion calling for the consul- tant to prepare a water- front study containing on- ly four of a possible six op- tions for their use in village planning matters. Councillor Paul Charlebois who supported the move said he based his decision on the fact that the consultant's first four options were the most realistic for the small village. The last two options "are out of this village's reach" and are too costly for the village said Charlebois. The waterfront masterplan has already cost a total of $30,000 with the village picking up 50 per cent of the tab. "Why should we be look- ing at options that are im- possible at this point in time," said Charlebois. "Isn't it more important that we spend our money on the necessities such as water mains, paving roads and fire equipment before spending the taxpayers money on leisure items. Option six of the plan is in- to big projects, and we (the village) just don't have those big bucks to spend." In an interview last week, village resident George Czindl, who ran in the by-election this January for a vacant council post but was defeated by Bob Atkinson, said some of the council wasn't looking at the future of the village when they decided to stop at option four. "There was no obligation on the part of council to build anything, they weren't responsible for starting digging on any of the projects" said Czindl. "The fee for the plan has already been set at $30,000 and with stopping at op- tion four, they have not got all the facts the-study can produce for the money they have already paid. The last two options would not have cost the village any more money." "Council has missed the boat because they weren't looking at the future, just the present. There could Support requested Council for the Village of Port McNicoll is one of the first area councils that has been approached for sup- port against the French Language Education Coun- cil's (FLEC) decision to phase out French language instruction at Ecole Secon- daire Penetanguishene Secondary School (ESPSS). According to Village Clerk Ted Walker, Louise Thompson of Preserve the Rights of Bilingual Educa- tion (PROBE) went before the five-member council last Wednesday evening re- questing council to pass a motion supporting the group's decision to protect the education council's action. Although a decision was not made at last week's meeting, Walker said, council will be dealing with the matter at their next session on Apr. 1. Despite the fact educa- tion is a provincial matter, Walker added, council has discussed the question of whether they should take a position in the fight and have decided to review the issue. "Council feels that since the village is the body that collects the tax rates for the school board and because the decision has a direct in- fluence on the municipali- ty's taxpayers then they (council) should take action in the matter,' said Walker. -- Obituary William Mr. William (Bill) Moore of 10 Spohn _ Drive, Penetanguishene died March 8, 1987 at the Penetanguishene General Hospital following a lengthy illness at the age of 71 years.

Two. possible' im- provements examined in option six of the con- sultants study, which the village will never receive now, are a museum and community centre on the village's waterfront. Czindl said these might not be realities for now, but they could well be at some point in the future. Councillor Bob Atkinson also. supported the motion to stop at option four say- ing he felt the village had to be realistic about the whole matter. "T have been here for 18 years and in that time, there hasn't been even 100 new homes built," said Atkinson. "Unless we in- crease our -- taxbase drastically, future councils 30 or 40 years from now won't even be able to af- ford the proposals in op- tion six. The village just doesn't have the kind of money the consultant is talking about. Less severe winter Officially winter ended and spring began last Fri- day.
