"I've got good news for
you and it could get better."
Those were the words of
reeve Bob Sharen at Mon
day's meeting of Grand
Bend village council
Sharen was referring to
Grand Bend’s share of
Lambton county taxes which
is expected to be up only
$250 from last year.
He said while the general
county rate would be up
about six percent. Grand
Bend’s increase would be
less than one-half of one per
cent.
The very small increase
was explained by Sharen. He
said. “Our percentage of the
Resort's county levy increases only $250
county assessment is down
because of a high rate of
development in two areas of
Sarnia township ”
Sharen continued, “The
county budget could be cut
some more and it’s possible
we could be back to our 1979
levy of about $49,000.”
The village's animal coun-
trol bylaw was updated with
some changes in remunera
tion for dog catcher Donna
Aitken.
Mrs Aitken will receive
$6 per hour while on patrol
in the summer resort. 20
cents per mile for travelling
to and from her home near
Thedford. $5 for each dog
picked up and $5 per day for
keeping a dog in a pound'
Councillor Harold Green
questioned paying mileage
both ways when Mrs. Aitken
is also the Bosanquet dog
catcher and must pass
through that municipality on
the way to Grand Bend.
He was told by clerk
Louise Clipperton that Mrs.
Aitken does not carry out
patrols in Bosanquet. but. is
on call only.
Disagree on park
Councillors had some dis
agreement on clearing of the
recently purchased Ward’s
Court property to be used as

Experience ‘79 is also
available and Crawford ask
ed for two persons who could
design and operate a
playground program in the
proposed parkette.
The councillor suggested
washroom and shower
facilities should be es
tablished in the parkette. He
added. "The showers on the
beach are completely
overworked."
Requested information
from solicitor Dan Murphy
on the question of water

method would be to install
them as part of the sewer
system and include cost in

motor vehicle mechanic
apprentice programs.
Fanshawe’s apprentice
ship programs, in trades
regulated by the Industrial
Training Branch of the
Ministry of Colleges and
Universities, combine in
college courses with on-the-
job training.

hairdressing apprentice
program allows students to
acquire practical skills and
theoretical knowledge to
complement their on-the-job
training in established
hairdressing salons.
The electrical apprentice
program provides the
theoretical knowledge of
electricity required to install
and service circuits and
equipment encountered in
electrical construction and
maintenance, and also in
cludes study of pertinent
electrical regulations and
practice. This program leads
to a career as a skilled
electrician in any of the
many industries which use
electrical equipment.
Three levels of instruction
are provided in the motor
vehicle mechanic apprentice
program. At the basic and
intermediate level students
are exposed to the con-
struction, function,
operating principles, and
service requirements of
conventional vehicle
systems. The advanced
program covers testing and
diagnosis of vehicle systems
as wed as a greater in-depth
study of modern vehicle
systems. Course par
ticipants, already employed
as apprentices by garages
and dealerships, are in high
demand.
Graduates from this area
as electricians were David
Dykeman, Exeter; James R.
Orr, Grand Bend; and Brian
G. McLean, Ilderton.

tralia; Rodger E. Fink-
beiner, Dashwood; and
