The residents want the two connected streets to be designated as one way, and no littering and public restroom signs to be posted in the area. They also suggested a by-law enforcer be hired for the summer to enforce the no litter- ing and one-way designation. The problem is the King Street right away to the beach can't be used by residents in the area for several reasons. Since the street is a dead end from Pine Street on, so many cars park there it is difficult for pedestrians to get through. Even if the way were clear, Dr. Judith Brigham, one of the area residents, says there is so much obscene lang- uage, public urination, and nudity in the area it is embarrassing. Mr. Taylor, another of the residents, went on to say the problem exists all the way up Pine Street as well as King Street. Cars and vans park on both sides of the narrow street making it almost impossible to get through, Mr. Taylor feels this presents a fire hazard as well as being a nuisance for residents. this is one reason they are requesting the one way designation for the two streets, Both Mr. Taylor and Dr. Brigham said they see many young people park their vans on public and private property alike, sleep in them overnight, urinate on the street in broad daylight and then leave piles of trash behind. If residents object, they are verbally abused and then ignored. Council sympathized with the complainants, but told them any no parking signs or one way designations would have to apply to everyone on the street, resid- ents included. "We can't start selectively handing out tickets," explained Reeve Bob Sharen. Councillor Bob Simpson also informed the residents that unless the by-law officer actually sees these things happen he can't lay charges. If the residents are willing to sign claims and appear in court to testify these things did occur, then council will back them up as much as possible. Council authoriied the clerk to request information from the Ministry of Transportation and Communication (MTC) concern- ing just how much authority the village has to put up no parking on this side or one way signs. Also, to find out if one way designations can be author- ized from the time the applica- tion for approval is made to MTC or must the village wait until the signs have been approved to enforce them. At any rate, council will look into the matter and then decide on the best way of dealing with the situation. Pordzsaa4 The Senior Citizens white elephant table was quite suc- cessful during the Buffaloburger Fest weekend and a number of tickets were sold on their hand made quilt. Grand Bend village foreman, Gary Desjardine, reported to council Monday night the dead fish problem on the main beach seems to be tapering off. How- ever, there are still some there despite the fact they have be cleaned up several times this year already. The bulldozer will be in next week to complete the task of pushing sand on the north beach away from the snow fences at the back of the beach down to the water's edge. Councillor Bob Simpson raised the problem of garbage on the side streets. "Just how much responsibility does the town have and the owners have to clean popcans, chip bags and other garbage off the side street road allowances?" Village foreman Gary Desjardine explained his crew • just doesn't have time to clean all the side streets every week and that the residents are very important in trying to keep this under control. However, his crew does clean these streets periodically over the summer and will make sure they are in good shape for the July 1st weekend. There is still some confusion throughout the village as to whose garbage is picked up when. On Mondays, the garbage is collected in the village from the river north, west of High- way 21. On Wednesday garbage is picked up in Southcott Pines, Orchard Street, Alberta Street, River Road and Lake Road. On Fridays, garbage is picked up on Highway 21, north and south, Green Acres, 81 Crescent, Gill road and Ausable Road. Councillor Harold Green re- ported the parking lot on the beach look in $200 last Sunday and $500 the weekend before. The Labatt 100 mile race is going to be bigger than ever this year and a request was received from its organizers for reserved docking space for entrants. Council agreed to rope off about 400 feet of docking spa Tchee othai figures wtlteni oa tphl rbotoL i cinge t have been received by council showing a $34,000 surplus from 1975. However, even including that there will be a substantial rise in taxes. A special meeting has been called for Wednesday, June 30, at 7 p.m. to discuss the budget in detail. Thirteen students of the Grand Bend nursery school graduated Friday while parents and friends looked on. Reeve Bob Sharen presented each gown and cap clad graduate with a certificate of graduation designed and made by the school's instructors, Donna Mitchell and Faye Blair. Following the presentation of certificates the students and parents were entertained by two movie films of the students both on the school grounds and at the Pineridge zoo. A draw for a set of brass scales and a lamp was held with pro- ceeds going to help the fin- ancial situation of the nursery school. Helen Elliot of Grand Bend won the lamp while Mrs. Walsh of Grand Cove Estates won the scales. Lunch was served ending an exciting morning for the thirteen young grads.
