Lions treasurer Dave Nelder `,attended Monday's council meeting and received complete moral support from the village. Nelder said his club is presently "trying to secure property for recreational pur- poses." He added, "Our club is 'behind this proposed project 100 percent, While we will be spearheading a drive to even- tually build an areena, swimming pool and curling club, the first step is to obtain suitable property," Nelder said two particular sites were now under study. One is SeVern Park, a 28 acre property located about a mile south of Grand Bend on the east side of Highway 21. It is owned by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, The Lions club spokesman said representatives from his group would be meeting on Thursday, November 11 with Minister of Natural Resources Leo Bernier, Claude Bennett, Minister of Tourism and Labton MPP Lorne Henderson regarding possibility of acquiring the park property to establish recreational facilities. The GB service club would hope to be able to secure the land on a long term lease basis. The second possible site is the former Desjardine farm, less than a mile north of Grand Bend on the east side of Highway 21 in Stephen township. It is currently owned by Southcott Pines Parkland Limited, Nelder said, "The Desjardine property consisting of about 22 acres for our purposes would probably cost us about $22,000, but we are not afraid of finan- cing." When asked about cost of the proposed project, Nelder replied, "We haven't got that far yet. The first step is to acquire property and then set our priorities, but the club solidly set on an arena as the first on the list," Answering a question from councillor Bob Simpson, Nelder said, "Yes, we have contacted the Grand Bend Chamber of Commerce and a number of other organizations and they are behind us all the way. In fact, the Chamber indicated they would be willing to divert profits from the Buffaloburgerfest each year to recreation purposes." Nelder said the park property south of Grand Bend would be an ideal location. He continued, "It is a good picnic area now and being close to Pinery Provincial Grand Bend council learned Monday night from their solicitor that there would be no conflict of interest by Reeve Bob Sharen in discussing the village's new zoning bylaw and objections to it. In a letter to council, Peter Macaulay said. "Reeve Sharen as shareholder of Ausable Holdings would be the same as Park we should be able to co- ordinate winter activities." "I feel that the Severn Park property could be made available to us. All we need is public sup- port and also that the the village, ownership of the property would be eventually turned over to Grand Bend," Councillor Simpson added, "We have to keep in mind that it would be "our baby" along with the Lions as far as maintenance is concerned." Deputy-reeve Rollie Grenier said, "Maintenance will not be easy", but councillor Bill Baird added, "It will be easier for Grand Bend because of the in- volvement of more groups." Nelder said his group received favourable reaction from Bosanquet township, He added, "We went to them because the property is located in their municipality, but we want it to belong to Grand Bend." any ratepayer having a com- munity interest in the new zoning bylaw." The suggestion of a conflict of intekest was made by Don South- cott of Southcott Pines Parkland Ltd, at a council meeting two weeks ago 'At that time Southcott said Sharen as a member of an in- vestment firm purchasing properties in the village should not be allowed to take part in discussion of objections to the zoning law. Macaulay's letter concluded, "In our opinion there would be no conflict of interest if Reeve Sharen participated in discussions regarding ob- jections." Later in the meeting Sharen said he had received the same opinion from his own solicitors and those of the Ministry of Housing and the Ontario Treasury and Intergovernmental affairs. Sharen concluded, "We should drop the matter right here.." Want sewers by next year The prospects of construction of the much awaited and prolonged sewage system for the village of Grand Bend appear good according to reports heard at Monday's council meeting. Discussion on the subject was opened when clerk Louise Clipperton read a copy of a letter from the Grand Bend Chamber of Commerce to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment asking for a start next year. The C of C letter said, "as tourists are our principal source of income we Would ask that excavation be carried on during fall, winter and spring months. Reeve Bob Sharen reported that the final engineering study was running on schedule. He added, "The engineer should be ready to prepare for tendering by early January." Councillors Bob Simpson and Bill Baird were quick to reply almost in unison, "It should be part of the tender and not just a request from us that construction take place between September and May so as not to interfere with our summer season' Resort C of C suggest pool The Grand Bend Chamber of Commerce has presented a submission to the Lambton County Board of Education on the feasibility of an enclosed swimming pool on the grounds of the Grand Bend Public School. The letter written by C of C vice-president Don Southcott suggested a pool could be shared by students and the surrounding community for swimming in- struction and swimming recreation. The Grand Bend Chamber wish to explore with the the questions of financing the structure itself and the possibility of reaching a comprehensive agreement on the operation and maintenance of the facility. The letter continued, "I would appreciate that no specific commitment would be possible at this time and that your Board would have to consider any arrangement of this kind in the light of the precedent it might set for for other communities within your jurisdiction." The Chamber will be at- tempting to obtain information regarding any similar arrangements that may have been made with other boards and communities to determine what problems there may have been or what success may have been achieved in this area.
