DECORATING Is main St. 238-8603 11~ Daly 8 30 to 6.00 Parents in the village of Grand Bend are being urged by their council to warn children to stay away from all squirrels and foxes, dead or alive, as the threat of rabies in the area increases. Last Friday a fox was shot within the village limits and Deputy Reeve Bob Simpson says there is a good chance tests will prove it to be rabid, Rabid foxes have been found in the area in recent weeks with increasing frequency and the ‘.11age council is disturbed over their ap- pearance within the village itself. NOTICE The Grand Bend and Area Recreation Com- mittee is in the process of preparing their budget for 1977. Any groups or organizations in the area wishing to submit a request for monies, grants or special consideration for projects requiring funding for the coming year please contact Miss Brenda Mawson, Clerks Office, Grand Bend 238-8461 for further in- formation and budget presentation.

Only by keeping pets tied or locked up will we be able to keep them from being infected with rabies which in turn could cause residents of the village to be infected, especially children." The village has appealed to pet owners to keep their dogs tied up in the past, mostly to no avail. However, this time the village hopes owners will take the warning seriously. Otherwise Grand Bend could be in for an epidemic of rabies and children are the most likely to have contact with animals. Some local residents are so worried over the situation they have informed council members they will begin to shoot loose dogs The teen age group invited the Couples Club for their guests, Saturday evening for a toboggan and skating party, Weather prevented these activities, so they played volley ball at the public school, The all assembled later in the United Church, Sunday School rooms where an indoor game of guessing the leader was con- ducted by Shellie Meecham. The couples club provided lunch of chili and buns and hot chocolate. Persona Is Sympathy is extended to Mr. & Mrs. Ed Walsh, Grand Cove Estates, in the death of one of their quadruplet grandchildren `GARDEN FRESH!' PRODUCE unless something is done. They fear for the saftey of their children. Deputy Reeve Simpson says the village will tolerate no shooting in the village, however he says the problem is a very real one and one which must be dealt with immediately. "Perhaps the answer is to hire the Humane Society to make a week long blitz in the village and have them cart away every loose dog they can find," he said, At any rate, the village council is hoping the pet owners of the village • will co-operate. Other wise the village will soon have to take drastic measures to end the loose dog problem. If a rabies epidemic occurs among that loose dog population, solving the problem could become a matter of life and death.

DRINKING/0km DRIVING efoit DISASTER P,'0,60, The Ministry of Natural Resources has placed a further restriction on allowing Grand Bend to take ownership of Severn Park. Dave Nelder, secretary of the Severn Park Steering committee, explained to those attending a public meeting concerning the future of the park that originally the Ministry had only stipulated the park must remain intact and remain for public use. However, Mr. Nelder said since there has been so much con- troversy over the park area, the Ministry has decided not to hand over the ownership of the park to the village until Grand Bend makes a firm committment on what they intend to use the area for. The meeting was held by the Severn Park Steering Committee in order to get public input concerning possible uses for Severn Park, The committee had hoped to hear several briefs from local organizations or interested persons, however in this they were disappointed, Aside from a representative from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation, the Steering Com- mittee and an architect, there were only eight people at the meeting and none of them had prepared briefs.

Jim and Doris Kaempf of the Van Dongen subdivision located adjacent to Severn Park, were the most vocal, They said they were among the few residents of that subdivision who did not oppose using Severn Park for recreation, however they felt as many of the trees in the area as possible should be preserved. Mr. Kaempf suggested there are many natural recreational activities which could be im- plemented in Severn Park with a minimal amount of tree destruction. Such things as cross- country skiing and nature trails plus perhaps a picnic pavilion were among his suggestions. "Off the top of the hat I would say Grand Bend is lacking in sports facilities," said Mr. Kaempf "but when you're talking about a sports complex you are also talking about all the sup- porting things such. as roads and parking lots," Tony Relouw, a member of the steering committee, said he agreed with Mr. & Mrs. Kaempf that as many trees as possible in the area should be saved. "Just north of here (Grand Bend) the Ausable-Bayfield Authority is building a park from scratch, planting hundreds of trees," said Mr. Relouw and then added "Here we have a beautiful park area and we're talking of demolition," Mr. Relouw also said that contrary to what was previously reported, the Ontario Provincial police have never requested the Severn Park area be given to them. He said the land they were talking about is about 21/2 miles south of Severn Park. Committee member Bob Johnson gave his opinion saying if the Severn Park area is not suitable for Grand Bend's recreational needs he didn't feel the village should take it over, "It (Severn Park) will be a burden to the village if they are going to have to look elsewhere for room to build facilities. Mr, Nelder assured Mr. Johnson there have been other properties considered for recreational complex sites, the only catch is Severn Park would cost nothing while the cost of the two other sites deemed feasible by the Lions club investigation would be in the neighbourhood of $100,000. Reeve Bob Sharen who is also on the steering committee suggested it might be feasible for the committee to ask the Ministry to turn the Severn Park area over to the Ausable Bayfield Con- servation Authority to be .

That is, he added, if the committee felt keeping the area as park and would serve the best interests of the community. In closing the meeting Chairman Soldan said as a result of the poor turnout he did not know if" the committee had received enough public input to Make a complete report.
