Shrubs, rocks and a flag pole are all in- eluded in the tentative designs Council received from the Chamber at their meeting Tuesday evening. Council's responsibility would be to water and maintain the landscaping. The village foreman, Gary Desjardine felt there could be some problems with the plan, On the small island, Mr. Desjardine felt any type of landscaping would be very dif- ficult because the snow and sand build up on it and must be removed regularly to keep the road clear. Also large trucks using the turn around tend to run up on the edge of the larger circle. Council decided to allow the foreman to discuss the matter in detail with the landscaping company suggested by the Chamber and see what arrangements could be made. Bill Uniac, the new member on council, brought up the topic of plowing the sidewalks in town. He felt having them unusable was a dangerous situation, particularly along Highway 21 and someone could very easily be killed. Council's general agreement over the situation is it should be done, but it could become a very costly task, On Highway 21 at least, council decided to look into the possibility of having the high- way narrowed to two lanes in the winter and using the outside lane to plow sidewalk and highway snow into, Otherwise there is just no place to push the snow and removing it would be a difficult task. Most of the councillors agreed it is almost too late to do anything this winter as the snow is piled so Chamber plans landscaping deeply now it would be almost impossible to clear the sidewalks. Deputy reeve Bob Simpson was named as council's member to the Ausable-Bayfield Con- servation Authority. Council decided to take over. the matter of hiring and main- taining a beach patrol them- selves while leaving the matter of swimming instruction to the recreation committee. Dennis Mathers received permission for the erection of a fluorescent roof sign for the Cheryl Anne. The regular council meeting has been changed from January 17 to January 24 due to the Wardens dinner, By MRS.

"If it is not going to affect the river flow or people's property up or downstream then I have nothing against the develop- ment" said Mr. Baird, However, he went on to say "I feel once you put up a wall in the water you will definitely cause the water flow to swirl against the opposite bank and our erosion problems will increase." Council passed a motion to ask both the Ministry of the Environment and the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority to review their decision in light of the possibility of altered river flow and increased erosion, Fresh, Country Cut -FRYER PARTS lb: 584 Cut From Canada A-1 Steer Beef Full Slice lb 894 lb lb '1.15 SIDES FRONTS HINDS TWO MORE REASONS TO SHOP THE TENDERSPOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SPECIALS GOOD 6 DAYS (Wednesday till following Tues. night) 0/0 CASH DISCOUNT A.

Church news Church of God young people met Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Ferman Snyder. During the social time various games were played. Rev. J. Campbell conducted a devotional period. Lunch was served by Mrs. Snyder, With the churches New Year's eve service at the Church of God was cancelled due to stormy weather conditions. At the Sunday night evening service at Church of God, Rev. J. Campbell began showing a series of film strips on the life of Apostle Paul, which will continue through the winter months. Morning anthem at the United church was "His Grace is suf- ficient for me." Rev. H, Moore's sermon topic was "A New Beginning." The Ministry of Natural Resources informed Grand Bend council they.are not involved with the activities proposed by Don Southcott concerning his Sher- wood property development since no Crown lands are affected and Mr, Southcott's proposals would not change the flow of the river. Council disagrees with this interpretation of the proposals of Mr. Southcott. The proposed development would consist of digging basins along the river bank for docking facilities. Mr. Southcott would be digging into land which he already owns and would not be obstructing the river as it is now. However, Grand Bend has serious erosion problems along the river banks and a good deal of Ministry money has already been spent in erosion prevention. Councillor Bill Baird expressed Hydro rates take jump Rates'to the 750,000 customers served directly by Ontario Hydro's rural system were in- creased effective Saturday, January 1, 1977, Rate changes will increase Hydro's revenue from these customers by an average of 25,6 per cent, The effect of the increase on individual customers will vary depending on their consumption and customer classification such as residential, farm or cottage. For example, a typical farm customer's monthly bill of $38 will increase approximately $8.65. A typical residential customer's monthly bill of $28 in a low density area will risethy $7.33. Details of the rate increase which conform to the intent of the Federal Anti-Inflation Guidelines have been mailed to customers. In 1975 retail system revenues of Ontario Hydro fell short of costs by $4.9 million. The deficit forecast for 1976 forecast for 1976 is $10.9 million. All bills issued after January 1, 1977 will be pro-rated. 1976 rates will apply from the last meter reading to December 31, 1976 thereafter the newly announced 1977 rates will apply, The rate increase reflects spiralling cost pressure upon Ontario Hydro in providing services. Ontario Hydro's total fuel bill including rising prices for coal oil, natural gas and uranium is expected to increase by 31 per cent in 1977. The Ontario Energy Board held hearings on Ontario Hydro's 1977 rates which included a detailed examination of all elements of bulk power costs and recom- mended an increase in bulk power rates of 30.3 per cent to all wholesale customers including the rural systems.
