The Grand Bend Chamber of
Commerce is planning to do some
landscaping on the two circles at
the base of Main Street to im-
prove their appearance. 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

the opinion that water *flowing
into the river from the municipal
drain in the area flowing in and
out of the basins would swirl and
hit the opposite bank thus in-
creasing erosion problems.
"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,

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.
