What's in a
name?
Grand Bend was not always
known as Grand Bend.
It was originally settled by a
colony of French Canadians who
had fled from a famine along the
Gulf on the east coast to make a
better life for themselves along
the shores of lake Huron, The
settlement was called "Eaux
Croches" which means crooked
waters.
Grand Bend is a rough tran-
slation of the original French
name. The name's of some of the
original settlers in Grand Bend
were Desjardins, masson,
Rainville and Charreau.
week spent in Santa Ana,
California, visiting her daugher
and son-in-law, Mr. & Mrs. Tom
Mylan and new grandson,
Thomas Lester.
Corrections
Our apologies for passing on
two bits of information last week
which were not quite accurate.
Obviously it is wise to
remember that things are not
always as they appear to be. It
was noted that the Ailsa Craig
Explorers had scheduled the 8th
of May for cleaning the lawns of
the churches in the village and
when the girls were observed
assembling outside the United
Church that morning, it was
assumed that they were about to
launch out on this worthy project,
However, when the leaders
examined the lawns they
discovered them in good con-
dition as most had been
thoroughly cleaned up following
the ice storm. Consequently the
girls enjoyed a hike instead that
morning!
Another misinterpretation —
while attending the musical and
gymnastics display evening at
the East Williams Memorial
Public School recently, School
Trustee Hugh Baird presented
the winners of the Public
Speaking Contest each with a
gift. However, these were not as
reported gifts of the School
Board, but rather given through
the kind generosity of Mrs.
Robert McCubbin in memory of
her lAsband who did so much to
encourage the art of public
speaking with children in the
area. The gifts, by the way, were
a copy of Larousse Encyclopedia
of Modern History from 1500 to
Present Day presented to Senior
winner, Stuart Smith, and a
silver pin inscribed with her
name and date of contest to
junior winner, Rhonda Steeper.

the distribution of Wintario tickets.
A distrIbutor is required to be actively engaged on a full
time basis in the operation of the distributorship, each dis-
tributor must employ adequate sales personnel, and maintain
sound accounting and clerical office practices.

working on a commission basis, A distributor is required to
pre-pay for Wintario tickets and re-sell them to the 500 or so
Wintario retail outlets in his territory. The current commission
structure for each draw is 2 1/2 cents per Wintario ticket for
the first 100,000 tickets and 2 cents each on the remaining
Wintario tickets sold.
In accordance with an agreement with Olympic Lottery,
Wintario distributors presently act as wholesale distributors
for Olympic Lottery tickets as well.
Sales reports and audited financial statements will be
required by the Corporation.
At present vacancies exist in territories centered in
Toronto, Paris and Windsor. Others may arise in the future
and all applications received will be kept on file from which
any future vacancies could be filled without further public

costs of the village's solicitor,
since the particulars of the
properties will be turned over to
him after TEIGA approval.
To pay off the costs, the people
will have to make one lump sum
payment, as Grand Bend Council
decided not to allow partial
payments of the debts.
Under a judicial tax sale; a
sale supervised by the courts, the
municipality could sell the
property and they would be
allowed to keep whatever was
owed to them in taxes and in-
terest. The remainder of the sale
price would go to the former
owner.
Sharen pointed out that tax
arrears are a common problem
in Grand Bend and he intimated
this sort of action on the part of
council could become more
prevelant if people refused to
meet their municipal tax
obligations.

The Village of Grand Bend
could be assuming ownership of
seven properties owned by two
different people through the
process of tax registration.
The properties, which Reeve
Bob Sharen would not name, owe
the village taxes dating back to
1973. To obtain these taxes,
council had two choices; tax
registration, where they assume
ownership, or judicial sale. They
chose tax registration because,
as Reeve Sharen said "its
quicker and the Village stands to
make more money."
Tax registration takes place
after the owner has been in
arrears for three years. The
Village makes application to the
Ministry of Treasury and
Economics and Inter-
governmental Affairs for
ownership and upon approval
from TEIGA, likely in the case of
Grand Bend, the municipality
assumes the ownership and
responsibilities for the property.
Grand Bend will have to
maintain the property for a full
year, including making all
necessary alterations said
Sharen. At the end of the year,
the village either sell or keep
it, at their discretion.
Within that year leeway, the
person who owned the property
can pay off his back-taxes, plus
all interest and any incurred
charges in order to reobtain his
property.
In the case of Grand Bend, the
owners in question would have to
pay the taxes, interest, $30 in
administration charges for the
registration, all maintenance
costs and repair costs and the

Grand Bend to take over
7 properties in arrears
A Youth Rally was held
Saturday at the Church of God
with about 30 attending.
Guests were present from
Toronto, Welland, Hartford,
London, Owen Sound and Kit-
chener.
Theme of the Rally was Love,
Joy and Peace. Rev. Don
Fletcher, of Welland spoke on
"Love,", Rev. John Campbell on
"Joy", and Rev. Stan Desjardine
of Hartford, on "Peace".
There were singing sessions
and a Bible quiz contest and for
recreation period, they played
donkey baseball.
Brad and Brent Hamilton, of
London were Sunday supper
guests with Brad's parents.
Mrs. Ed Gill and Mrs. Susie
Devine were hostesses at Mrs.
Gill's home, Friday night, for a
miscellaneous shower for Wendy
Van Bruaene, bride elect of June.
Around 20 neighbors and friends
attended.
Mrs. Alec Hamilton attended a
Historical Society meeting
Sunday afternoon at Inwood.
The Church of God ladies were
in charge of the Sunday evening
service. Mrs. Janet Desjardine
spoke on the topic of "Peace".
A solo, "Hide Thou Me" was
sung by Marian Snider.
Mrs. Ardella (Desjardine)

after visiting a couple of weeks in
this area with friends and
relatives.

and because they do not pay a
frontage levy as Grand Bend
residents do, Part of the frontage
levy goes to water costs.
The sewage agreement was a
little more touchy.
"I won't commit myself just
yet" said Walden, in reply to
Reeve Bob Sharen who insisted a
three party agreement was
necessary.
Sharen wants an agreement
between Stephen, Green Forest
and Grand Bend so future coun-
cils and ratepayers "won't be
carrying the total sewage
package."
There is a charge for sewage
dumping, and without an
agreement and with Green
Forest using Grand Bend's
system, ratepayers in Grand
Bend would have to support the
whole system. Sharen and
council want it guaranteed that
this extra use will not be added to
Grand Bend taxes.
