BEACHED FISHERMAN — Don Church, Wheatley, watches as his fishing boat is pulled from the ice-choked
waters of Lake Huron by Doug Jennison, Grand Bend. Church says the boat won't go bock into the water
until March — provided the ice breaks up that soon.

Commercial fishing vessels are
destroying the village docks
according to Grand Bend
councillor Harold Green.
Green made the comment at
the last regularly scheduled
Grand Bend council meeting held
Monday in village hall.
Commercial vessels have
grown too large to use dock
facilities according to Green. By
mooring too close to the mouth of
the harbour they are catching the
full wave swell which in turn
sends them crashing into the
docks.
About $600 damage has been
incurred so far, Green says.
He says there is about 50 to 80
feet of dock ripped up.
The councillor informed
council some of the boats
responsible for the damage have
been identified,
Council moved to have a
registered letter sent to all
owners of commercial vessels
now using the dock stating the
municipality intends to cut off
Hydro service for the winter
season,
The letter will also inform the
owners they must refrain from
mooring at village docks,
+ + +
In other business, council
passed a motion to settle year end
accounts and quarterly payments
for water plus levies to the
county, and Board of Education,
worth in total, $76,202.07.
+ + +
Council will examine a new by-
law to be prepared for next
regular meeting January 5, to
prohibit parking on highway 21.
+ + +
The village moved not to
contest a "licence of occupation"
for the Manore dock area east of
the bridge on highway 21.
The lease gives the holder,
Manore Marine Ltd., the right to
use the river bed to drive in
pilings for docks.
Grand Bend council did request
the province, who issue the lease,
to make a copy of a survey done
on the area available to the
village. Council also requested
the province grant Manore the
occupation licence on a yearly
basis.
+ +
Council was informed the new
group insurance plan for village
employees (the clerk, secretary
and village foreman) is in effect
provided preliminary budgets
tabled November 27, are passed.
+ + +
Council expressed a desire to
attend a special meeting in
London January 22 with Darcy
McKeough and members of the
Lambton county steering com-
mittee, who will talk on
municipal spending restraints
the province intends to impose
during 1976.
The meeting takes place in
London's Centennial Hall at 4:00
p.m.
+ + +
Council will invite Chuck
McMurray, supervisor for the
Ontario Housing Rehabilitation
Program (OHRP) to Grand Bend
in the new year to discuss
financial terms of the scheme.
OHRP is a special program
under the Ministry of Housing
designed to help low income
families improve .their homes.
According to McMurray in a
telephone conversation with the
T-A December 3, Grand Bend is
eligible for $29,000 to help eligible
families in the village.
McMurray also said OHRP
money under certain conditions
can be applied to sewer in-
stallation costs.
