AND DISTRICT NEWS
BE G B council strikes $15,000 from budget
A $15,000 road repair reserve
fund was struck from the Grand
Bend budget Monday night when.
council tried to pare the expected
increase in the general levy to the
minimum.
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

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.

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.
