Photo by Bagley Shop at Home Roundabout I have my money in my hand but nobody seems interested. I look out the window hoping they will be through soon. The mechanic with my bill in his hand moves into the fray and shoves the wrestling cop and stocky man out pf the way. He's abotit to ring up my charges when they knock him out of the way too. But he's a powerful sort himself, so he comes back and shoves them out of the way. "20-40-60-80," he says, counting my money. Then • he rings in $67 and makes change, hands it to me, and turns his attention back to the cop and wrestler, They seem to be getting tired out and I'm won- dering when the mechanic is going to give me the keys to my car. "Whew, $67 bucks," I am thinking, "a nice present from the grey ghost." Not only was today a four-hour- late-for-work day, but the grey ghost had cost me money on my birthday. "Hey, are the keys in the car," I asked, ducking the pair doing a minuet and trying to get the mechanic's attention. "What?" he says, "oh yeah, they're in the car." 'thanks," I say and shoulder past the dancers who are blocking the door. Birthdays, big deal, January 29, 1976 Grand Bend council will discuss the new zoning bylaw with Jean Montieth, senior planner with Municipal Planning Consultants, Toronto, at a closed meeting this Thursday. Reeve Bob Sharen says the Closed meeting Thursday bylaw available Friday AND DISTRia .NEVyS THE EXETER-TIMES ADVOCATE Local girl passes skating exams Three new members will be added ' to the Grand Bend Recreation committee this Thursday according to councillor Harold Green. The additions will be made following interviews with six people who have expressed in- terest in joining the sub- committee of Grand Bend council. Last year, the first year it existed, the committee was composed of five citizens hired by council and two regular council members — Harold Green oand Bill Baird. Green says the reasoning behind additional committee members is two-fold. Apparently, the committee has been hampered by holidays. "Sometimes we have two or three people away on holidays at the same time, That makes it hard for the committee to func- tion properly in the community," Green says. Green also points out expected changes in the operation of the committee this year. "After we get a president elected we plan to give each one of the members a specific job. For example, I imagine I'll be in charge of life-guards and swimming instruction, Someone else will work with the elderly and so on," Green says. Green explains the committees as' a time-saving branch of village council. "We go into the community and find out what people are doing and what they need, funds and equipment, Rather than applying directly to council, they talk to us. If we decide they need something, we present a report to council." Green believes increasing the committee from five to seven members plus the two council representatives will provide for an adequate number of com- mittee members to he present at all times. Be also claims the committee will function more smoothly as a result. Committee members are hired for three, two and one year RDON BAGLEY The I: xi arrived at the door of my apartment shortly before noon. I was only I' to for work four hours, He took me across town to the garage where the grey ghost had rested for the night because it decided to stop alternating. It was in Lucan I noticed it. The lights on the dash kept getting dimmer, and the highway seemed to be getting darker all the time. It was a "brown out" you might say, Perhaps the energy crisis was passing onto the car. I doubt it, But it was a bad week. I pulled into the gas station, It was around noon when • paid the cabbie and walked into • the office, where a group of mechanics and one policeman were gathered about the cash register. How much, I ask. "$67 bucks," he says. "What can you do?" He shakes his head and the policeman grins. The alternator required by a 19(35 Chrysler costs $42, the Missy Sandilands, daughter of Mr. & Mrs, Peter Sandilands, passed her swing dance 'C.F.S.A. test held in the Exeter arena last week. Missy is a member of Zurich-Grand Bend skating club. The United Church women catered for lunches, Tuesday and Wednesday last week, for the labour costs $25. 1 just thought you might like to know, I didn't, Then the policeman pulled out his handcuffs. 'What's going on here," I thought. The handcuffs go on the wrist of a man standing by the cash register. Then the policeman is trying to handcuff the man to the door of the office. "Oh no you don't," the man says, moving his powerful frame- in, such a way that the .officer grimaces and says, "hey, you're hurting my thumb," "That's okay," the guy with the handcuff says, "but you're not cuffing me to that door," "Here, Ill cuff you to him," the officer says, pointing to a young mechanic who is all smiles as he offers his wrist for manacling. "That wonld,be worse," the stocky man with the handcuffed wrist says. "Hey can I pay my bill?" I ask, The gas station mechanic „ who fixed my car is too busy watching the others. It's sort of funny I guess. I'm four hours late for work and my car just cost me $67 I can't afford, The officer and the handcuffed man are wrestling around new and they bump into me so I'm thrown back from the counter, Hodgins-Hayter, Kraft machinery convention, held in the Legion Hall The Lambton County library hoard are sponsoring a series of musical concerts, to enrich culture in the community, and they will be held in Grand Bend United Church at 2:30 p.m. purpose of the meeting is to clarify wording and definitions in the bylaw before it is released to the public this Friday. The zoning bylaw, first proposed last summer, was drawn up in its present form and -terms. That way, there is a "carry-over" member who knows the committee's function while new members are coming in. Green says a recreation committee member can re-apply for the job once his term is up, Green also points out a municipality can't apply for recreation grants unless it has incorporated a recreation committee into village govern- ment. Group service for Anglicans ' Due to the postponement of the Grand Bend and Greenway Anglican churches annual meeting, a combined service of the three churches of the Parish of Greenway, Thedford and Grand Bend was held at St, Johns Sunday, following the regular service. It was conducted by the confirmation class. Special music was supplied by the "Melodaires" of Greenway. A social hour followed the service. Officers elected for Grand Bend were rector's warden, C. W. (Bert) Neilson; people's warden, 'John Brown; deputy warden, aurice. McDiana.14. treasurer, oldie Todd; assistant treasurer, Larry Cole; envelope secretary, Mrs. Agnes Todd; delegate to Synod, Mrs. Coninie Lewis; Board of management, Frank Hallett; Tom Lawson, Glen Sippel, Adelaide Sippel, Cindy Brown, Nola Taylor, Verna Sharer, Lillian Best, John Brock and John Aselstyne; representative, Mrs. Nola Love; auditor, Fred Newton. UC appoints new officers The Grand Bend United Church annual meeting was held Wed- nesday evening, and in spite of bad weather around 20 attended. Rev. H. Moore chaired the meeting, and Buelah Holt was appointed secretary for the evening. Appointed to the Session for five year terms were Mrs. Don Adams and Morley Desjardine. Mrs. Clarke Kennedy was ap- pointed for a two year term. Elgin Hendrick and Gerry Love were elected for three year terms to the Board of Stewards, Two new committees were formed, For personnel, Mrs. Jack Eagleson and Harvey Ratz; mission and service, Leroy Keyes and 'Morley Desjardine. Ralph McKinnon was named on the manse committee and also for usher. Reports were read and discussed. There were 14 burials from Grand Bend in 1975. received by council last October. Sharen says it is com- prehensive and applies to the entire village. Some of the suggestions regarding "D zones" made at a, public meeting concerning the.. bylaw held. last August, have influenced the legislation's present form, Sharen adds. A "D zone" is a develOpment zone, an area set aside for future development along residential or commercial guidelines. "It's better to label an area a D-zone," Sharen explains, "because it gives citizens within the village a chance to object, should they feel a particular plan isn't in the village interest," The normal course of action following such an objection is to refer the matter to the Ontario Municipal Board. "Were we to simply change some of the areas from R1 to R3, council could pass certain motions without anyone hearing about it," Sharen says. "We don't want that. We want to keep the government as open as we can."' "We try to refer things to the public as much as we can,' Sharen says. That's why the bylaw, which, could be passed anytime, will bel available for public perusal until April 23, the Reeve points out. April 23 is the date set for a' public meeting, to hear objections and proposed amendments to the bylaw before it is passed by council. "We may not in the final essence do what they (the public) want, but we need to know what they want so we can consider it," the Reeve explains. Sharen says the meeting was promised to taxpayers last August and was scheduled for this April so taxpayers who live in Grand Bend only during summer months can be present and heard. Let's face it, most village tax dollars come from summer residents. Some of them are Americans who can't vote but pay taxes just the same. We feel they have a right to be heard," Sharen says, "It gives everyone a better kick at the cat." Golden Age • Club meets The Grand Bend Golden Age club held a fun afternoon, Tuesday, with 32 in attendance.
