Church, Sammit_ of Jewellers. During an interview last week, Sammit said she has been involved in the sport for more than three years. "A group from college wanted to try it. But only one guy (and myself) show- ed up. I've been jumping ever since." She says she was more concerned about the cold and rain during her first jump. When Sammit jumps with other members of the Huronia Sky Divers on Saturday she will be well on her way to her 150th jump. The show will include formation diving and precision landing with the skydiver trying to land as close to a target as possible. Putting on Summerama-Pene- tanguishene requires many hours of planning by chamber members said Joyce Sauve. Volunteers are needed to help with the beer tent, crowd control and clean up.

Penetanguishene --- Among some notable places are the Beck House, James on the Lines the Gendron Block on Main St. and the waterfront. The brochure, which in- cludes a map and descrip- tion of each historic site, is illustrated with pen and ink drawings of each landmark. Ontario College of Art student Shirley Knowlton was hired by Heritage Penetanguishene to com- plete the drawings last summer.

Helen Henderson who is working with Heritage Penetanguishene on the Angels Homecoming says their return to the gateway of town should take place on a Sunday in late August.

The three summer employees are also helping with Thursday. other last minute preparations for the four-day event which starts this Beach owners hate garbage Tiny Township residents who own property along Georgian Bay are angry about litter and over- crowding on their beaches. The issue was raised dur- ing the regular meeting of Tiny Council last Wednes- day when councillors received a letter from one resident who said she had been a taxpayer to the township, for more than 35 years. And she wanted to know what council was go- ing to do about the problem. Clerk-administrator Guy Maurice said he had received phone calls from other residents complain- ing about the problem. The letter to council from a Mountainview Beach resident stated, 'We are in the area of Scott Park, which, I believe, was donated to the township for the use of the local peo- ple. This nice little park is jam packed on weekends by people, not from this area, but from Toronto, Barrie and other places. The writer did not say how she knew where the people were from. She went on to say that people left garbage on the beach and "subject us to rude finger signs'? when asked to pick up their litter. Maurice said the garbage was so bad two weeks ago he had to hire two people to help clean-up. Reeve Morris Darby said council sympathized with the residents but noted that there was little that could be done about over- crowding on_ public beaches. Deputy Reeve Peter Brasher said council also had no jurisdiction over privately owned land. At issue is the ownership of land along the water- front in Tiny Township. Both Tiny and the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) own shoreline pro- perty. But the legal descrip- tion of who owns what is not clear. Paul Wideman of the MNR land division said neither the ministry nor the township want to spend money on a survey. Remy Moving After 35 years in Penetanguishene, Huronia Motors is moving to its new location at Vinden St. and Highway 93. Huronia Motors' new owner Bob Monteith says the move will take place in the tall and the expansion means the creation of more than 10 jobs for the area. Marchand to build 230 units The Planning Advisory The proposed plan by Committee heard from a Raymond Marchand calls delegation on Monday for a maximum of 230 which has a proposal for a housing units consisting of subdivision south of Ed- 82 single family lots, 14 a St. and east of Anne semi-detached lots and 120 multiple family dwelling Man fined $500 A Port McNicoll man found out that lying does not pay. Twenty five year- old Gary Edwards ap- peared in Provincial Court in Penetanguishene last Thursday charged with public mischief. The charge stemmed from an incident last Dec. 24, when the car Edwards was driving rolled into a ditch. During a police in- vestigation two days later he told officers the car was being towed when it ran off the road. But the investigation revealled Edwards had been driving the vehicle without insurance. He told the court he had to move the car from his apartment in Barrie and took back roads to Port McNicoll. Edwards was fined more than $500 for the motor vehicle offences during a previous appearance. Summing up Thursday's case, Judge L.T. Mon- tgomery indicated Ed- wards could have pleaded guilty to the mischief charge at an earlier date. Lying and deceit strike at the heart of justice he said. Edwards was fined $1,000. plates or units to be built on 30 acres of land. The land is zoned Neighborhood Residential and the Official Plan allows a density of 74 peo- ple per hectare. Mar- chand's subdivision would create a lower maximum density of 60 people per hectare. A main feature of pro- posal would see the begin- ning of a bypass planned to link up with Thompson Rd. at Highway 93 and the industrial park in the east. The bypass would even- tually take truck traffic from Highway 93 and reduce the traffic flow on Robert St. Included in the plan are two blocks of townhouses. But specific development details are not complete. Marchand estimated that the project would take three years to complete. "This would depend on how many units bought."' he said. Recycling Recycling, not dumping, is the answer to North Sim- coe's garbage problem says Peter Stubbins, chairman of the South Shore Waste Reduction Group. Stubbins was in Pene- tanguishene last Tuesday to make a pitch to the Ministry of Environment for further funding. He said the group receiv- ed $400 from the North Simcoe Waste Manage- ment Association and he hopes the ministry will match that figure. Stubbins says the group needs money to pay for mailing and other com- munication costs. He said the group wants to reach residents in North Simcoe to inform them about the present recycling program and encourage other methods of waste reduction. were
