'Epistle' blames township for problems Declaring her township road to be '"'worse than a busy downtown street in Toronto, a Tiny resident has written another letter to council complaining about the situation along the beaches. Marike Cook had addressed council on- ly a few weeks before and her concerns had been listened to then. The heated cor- respondence, four pages long, prompted Deputy Reeve Peter Brasher to question the the item's description: 'I don't know what you call something of this size, a letter or an epis- tle," he said. "'I'd call it a semi-threatening epistle."' The communication de- nounced Tiny council for its "lack of concern and lack of preparation." "We don't require sym- pathy. We require action." Cook was expected to ap- pear before council again last Wednesday but she did not show up. She is con- cerned about vehicles park- ing in the Huronia Court area and blocking the roadways. "It must be pointed out there is only room for one car around the Huronia Court circle. If both sides of the circle are filled with parked cars there is barely room or no room for a small car and certainly not for an emergency vehicle, to pass." She recommends that the whole street be designated no parking or at least the area around the circle and that the subsequent bylaw be rigorously enforced. "J, personally, have an additional problem as many use our driveway to attempt a squeeze parking procedure. They back up on the driveway, they spray our cars with stones kicked up by their tires. Since the council, representing the township, is responsible for this situa- tion, I will hold you direct- ly responsible for any damages incurred." "This problem is serious and I want it treated as such! Sympathy is not enough!"' Cook complains that too many people park on her road and block her driveway because of "con- venience,"' that she is simp- ly adjacent to the best beach area near the 16th Resident volunteers to help township A_ Tiny Township resi- dent says signs on the beach barring dogs do help to control the problem. Throughout the summer, dogs have been roaming Tiny's beaches unmolested and many beach residents have written to council complaining about it. U. Liszon says signs should be placed at higher levels than they currently are and he is even willing to lend his ladder to the township for this purpose. The resident doesn't ex- pect Pete Bidan, Tiny's animal control officer, to be always on hand because he says "reasonable people' can read signs and obey their instructions. Tiny council has argued in the past that it does lit- tle good to put signs up because they are torn down during the weekend's wild parties. But Liszon counters that Tiny rejects APEC referendum Tiny Township council will not support a language resolution sponsored by the Alliance for the Preser- Store may take empties Tiny Township has taken steps to change the situa- tion at the Lafontaine li- quor and beer store. The outlet currently will not ex- cept empty beer bottles; rather, Brunelle's Variety, located across the street, takes the returns. But Clerk Guy Maurice said last Wednesday '"'next year that will be rectified." The liquor store is operating on a seasonal basis and according to Simcoe East MPP Al McLean it will remain so unless it demonstrates suf- ficient business. Brunelle's has been tak- ing the empties because it arranged to do so with the Brewers' Retail before the Lafontaine outlet was opened this summer. The liquor store is an exception to the rule in Ontario because it sells beer as well as wine and spirits. The small trailer is filled from floor to ceiling with stock. Same speed for road Tiny Township has ask- ed that the provincial government keep the speed limit along the road to Awenda Park at 40 km/h. It also resolved that trucks should continue to be banned along the traverse. The reasons for the deci- sion were outlined by Deputy Reeve Dr. Peter Brasher who said the road has not been improved and the financial means to do the work is beyond the cur- rent capabilities of the township. The road allowance is owned by Tiny Township. vation of English in Canada. The association wishes to initiate a language referendum in the coming muncipal elections. The resolution to be en- dorsed by voters is that "English shall be the of- ficial language of the pro- vince of Ontario, its CUULILCLL, government, institutions and services." But Tiny's reeve, Morris Darby, would only say that "it would be fruitless to go through this resolution" since the language ques- tion is a "provincial mat- ter." An accompanying fact sheet from APEC's presi- dent Ronald Leitch argues that it is more than a pro- vincial matter since "on oc- casions there are questions of such fundamental im- portance that citizens should have direct input. A referendum is the only mechanism to allow people to express their views ona specific issue. The rip-roaring comedy show that will Knock you out of your seat!

We wouldn't even charge you for it." Concession. 'People should be encouraged to walk. Our environment is being destroyed and the pollution is intolerable." She criticizes the at- titudes of both councillors Art Dyer and Montcalm Maurice, saying they showed lack of concern for her problems. Her only praise was for Deputy Reeve Brasher, whom she described as "concerned with the ap- propriate solutions to the many existing problems on the beaches." @ Cottage @ Marine Neat and Tidy Home Cleaners FAST PROFESSIONAL CLEANING @ Residential BH Commercial @ Minor Renovations Call for your FREE Estimate (705) 526-2111 Residence 526-0091 38 MAPLE DRIVE SUNNYSIDE, MIDLAND ONTARIO L4R 4K5 TINY by its Agent, NOTES: FORM 2 Expropriations Act NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL TO EXPROPRIATE LAND IN THE MATTER OF an application by THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF TINY for approval to expropriate land being the whole of Lot 22, Concession 21, in the Township of Tiny, County of Simcoe for the purpose of establishing a public park.
