Originally, the budget, which was not made public, contained a 20 percent increase in the general levy to each ratepayer with the only frill item being the reserve fund. Without the reserve fund, the increase will be 15 percent. Only one percent of the increase is attributable to the municipal, county and Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority in- creases; the other 14 percent is going to the school board said Reeve Bob Sharen. There is a possibility that the increase could be reduced by another five percent if the Ontario Municipal Board ap- proves a request by council to allow them to take $10,000 from their $70,500 working reserve fund. Sharen said this would be unlikely because the $10,000 would drop the reserve working fund below tax arrears and the OMB would not allow it. Last year, 17.6 percent of all taxes in Grand Bend remained WI- collected. All of council agreed that an- nexation of properties surrounding Grand. Bend would be necessary if Grand Bend was to SUrVi ye. "Grand Bend can't economically exist within its present framework" said. Sharen who went on to outline three ways Mr. and Mrs. Alec Hamilton spent Monday in Port Huron, Michigan, with a dinner out to celebrate their wedding anniver- sary. Mr, and MrS.

The Grand Bend boys Squirts ball team played Tuesday night against Beachwood and Nairn team and Grand Bend won with score 22-11. The next game scheduled for the Squirts is Grand Bend could survive. He suggested they could either join. Lambton or Stephen townships or annex properties. Ile felt that joining either of the townships would be detrimental to Grand Bend since they could not properly administer the resort town. "If you are running in the next election," he told council, "that July 9 at Grand Bend against Blyth.

Bend while 54.5 mills stays in the municipality. Simpson said he was "not even happy" with the reduced increase Since people would not be looking, at the reasons for it but the money they would have to pay out, About people you know SANILAC NEXT STOP —The crew of the sailing vessel ''Rebel" prepare their craft for rough waters as they begin the Labatts 100 Yacht Race on Thursday morning. The larger boats were instructed to head down to Kettle Point and then across Lake Huron to Sanilac, Michigan on the first half of the 100 mile course. Smaller boats were forced out by strong winds and rain late Thursday afternoon. Of the 65 boats beginning the race approximately 45 reached their destination of Bayfield early Friday morning. Photo by T. Stover Yachts experience high winds in race The scene at the dock in Grand Bend was busier and more lively for the start of the Labatt's 100 than any other holiday week- end of the summer. But here it was 7:30 a.m. on a wet and windy Thursday morning and as you looked down the row of masts there were people everywhere straightening ropes, tying down, gear or storing supplies for the overnight run across Lake Huron and back. Rough waters and high winds greeted the boats as they made their way to the starting area. Sixty-five boats from different classes were tossed and pushed about by the seven foot waves. The smaller vessels started first and 15 minutes later the medium sized crafts began the race. A half hour behind them the big- gest sail boats took off. The course for the smaller cruising craft was directly across Lake Huron to Sanilac, Michigan then over to Goderich and down to Bayfield. The medium and larger sized boats were instructed to make their way down to Kettle Point and then over to the U.S. coast. The unsettled weather condit- ions proved to be a blessing and a curse to the sailors. The rain and rough water took their toll as the boats dropped out because they could not handle the high waves or too many of the crew got sea-sick and couldn't help to sail the boat. The wind was blowing quite strongly and the race, which normally ends on Friday morn- ing between 8 a.m. and noon, ended when the majority of boats entered the harbor at Bayfield between 1:30 a.m. and dawn. First to cross the line was the Butterfly, a boat owned by Mike Sully of the Goderich Yacht Club. He came in at 1:39:13 and was followed closely by George Lions on his boat the Tigress. The Sarnia boat finished two minutes after the Butterfly. The third boat in was the Straight Arrow, owned by John Warren of Grand Bend. By 9 a.m. Friday, all the boats that had not dropped out were in Bayfield. Of the 65 that start: ed, 45 completed the 100 mile course. The rest had either returned or were still racing. A Canadian Coast Guard cutter accompanied the race as a safety precaution., There were no rep- orts of any of the boats in dist- ress, but the rough waters made it difficult for the smaller ves- sels. Times were adjusted to handi- cap the larger heavier boats. The official winner of the Labatt's 100 was actually the second boat in, the Tigress.
