Zurich Citizens News, 1976-08-25, Page 23THE 500 LB. COOKERS MUST BE WASHED out after every batch of beans is cooked in order to be ready to start the next batch the following day. The bean festival committee has two of these cookers and each one must be filled four times to have enough beans ready for Saturday's festival. Above Glenn Thiel and Orlen Schwartzentruber had the job Monday night after the first batch of beans had been cooked Upgrading for Pinery Park Strict preservation of the en- vironment and a major upgrading of existing facilities is being recommended for the 5,- 100 -acre Pinery Provincial Park. The recommendations are made in a prelimary master plan expected to get approval within a week. The report will be made public 'in about three weeks after con- sultation with provincial parks officials, and publication of an eight to 10 -page booklet outliing major recommendations. The booklet will be sent to the 700 persons who requested the information from the Pinery park office. The report is the result of four years of research by a Chatham district and London regional committee of the ministry of natural resources. A 1971 master plan was scrapped due to public pressure. The new plan recommends, the park retain the designation of "natural environment" with an emphasis on preserving its fragile sand dune ecology. In addition, it suggests establishing a more intensive "visitors service's' program to educate people about park resources. This would include construction of a visitors services centre to co-ordinate park ac- tivities.

ZURICH ARENA SPONSORED BY ZURICH REC BOARD anommommoutimommossimmonmusigift NO PERSON UNDER 16 WILL BE ADMITTED Wendy McNab, regional park planner for the natural resources ministry, said Thursday the natural environment classification is an indication "the physical environment of the park is considered significant and less intensive use is called for here. It is such that it may not be able to sustain heavy use. You try to emphasize the uniqueness of the park." Since it was established in 1957 the park has been heavily used, particularly by young people who find the more than five miles of beaches and 1,000 camp sites ideal for weekends. In 1975, there were 211,935 campers in the park and 438,104 day -use passes were issued. Comparative figures to mid- August this year are 121,351 and 285,853. • The fact that the park is already well-established with facilities and subject to heavy use was the reason behind main- taining the natural environment designation, which attempts to strike a balance between wilderness parks and recreation - type parks. Ms.McNab said that if the facilities hadn't already existed, it is possible the committee would have reached a different con- .clusion. The Pinery is one of the few parks in Southwestern Ontario that is not recreation -in tensive. `There won't be ,any drastic (continued on page 24) BEAN ° Frog Jumping CONTEST (Bring your own Frog or Toad) Bean Festival Mall Area MID-AFTERNOON (Specific time will be announced over the Public Address System) PRIZES DONATED EY DR.
