Lead by deputy-reeve Judy Uniac and councillor Bill Baird, considerable talk about the disposition of trees in the village’s parkette to be located behind the village’s office took place. Baird said it would be very difficult to have a reasonable parking lot in the area formerly known as Ward’s Court unless most of the trees were removed. He also expressed doubt about Uniac’s statement that the lot could accommodate 40 cars. Uniac agreed that some trees would have to be removed but she suggested it would make sense to delay tree removal until work on the parkette’s plan which is being done by the Lambton county planning department is completed. Baird became livid when Uniac said some of the washroom equipment from the cottages would be used in a washroom and change building which the village would operate. “Oh you gotta be kid­ ding”, Baird exclaimed. Uniac then agreed with Reeve Bob Sharen who said little if anything could be salvaged from the cottages. While Sharen agreed with Baird that some form of ce­ ment brick structure for the change and shower facilities would be needed eventually, there was a possibility one of the buildings could be used for the purpose this year. In what must be con­ sidered a rare moment Stephen township and the village have appeared to reach an agreement on the supplying of water to the Green Forest subdivision which is to be located just outside of the village. Council received a letter from Stephen which said they were prepared to enter into an agreement for the supply of Grand Bend water to the subdivision. While council expressed pleasure over the matter, there was some dis- GB school. A- .Continued from front page secondary school students. School principal Howard Hartle said the two boards met about five years ago in attempt to resolve the matter which sees students attending secondary schools in both Forest and Exeter. The lack of a decision has created many problems Hartle said. Don Southcott asked if it would not be helpful if coun­ cil passed a resolution call­ ing for the ministry of education to develop, as the former editor of Times- Advocate put it “one of its famous formulas” for pupil allocation. Gilroy agreed with Southcott but Grand Bend Reeve and chairman for the evening Bob Sharen asked if it would not be better for the matter to be dealt with locally. Sharen did agree with Southcott that the support of the school by the community should be an ongoing process. Southcott received mur­ murs of approval from the gathering when he said “We don’t want to be shafted at the elementary level such as we are at the secondary level.” The question of a cost breakdown on per capita basis for Grand Bend and Bosanquet schools caused some consternation on behalf of board represen­ tatives with Cheeseman say- ing there were many variables involved such as the number of students at each school and the length of service of the teachers. This brought a comment from Patterson who said “If you’re talking about the ef­ ficiency of schools maybe you should sharpen your own pencils.” Cheeseman agreed to provide the figures with Sharen saying the breakdown could be in­ teresting. agreement as to whether Stephen was agreeing with the village or if they were sticking by their guns. Both Sharen and Coun­ cillor Harold Green agreed the letter could be taken both ways. Sharen said the village would have their lawyer draw up the agreement. Reacting to a suggestion at the public meeting held Wednesday concerning the fate of Grand Bend Public School, council passed a resolution which urged the boards of education of the counties of Huron and Lambton to draw up an agreement which would see students located in Huron but who are within walking distance of the school to at­ tend the school. Council said such a move would save the taxpayers money as a bus would not be required to travel from the village to Stephen Central school, some ten miles away. Council agreed to wave in­ terest charges on taxes ow­ ing by the Village Inn Retreat as a result of a mis­ placed tax notice. Former reeve Orval Wassmann said he became aware that something was wrong when the retreat did not receive a tax notice at the usual time. Upon further checking he learned clerk-treasurer Louise Clipperton had mail­ ed the notice but that it had not been received by the retreat. Wassmann said they were prepared to pay the taxes owing providing the two per­ cent interest charge was waved due to the ex­ tenuating circumstances. Green said he wasn’t in favor of such a waver as there had been similar in­ stances in previous years. Baird disagreed with Green and said considering the circumstances, the taxes should be waved. Sharen said if the taxes were waved it would be a “dangerous precident”. As a compromise, Sharen proposed no interest would be charged if the retreat would pay it’s second tax in­ stallment by the end of March. Sharen said the village would pickup the lost interest from the first in­ stallment if the taxes were paid in this fashion. Wassmann agreed to Sharen’s suggestion. With large amounts of traffic on Government Road which runs along the beach, the light standards have taken a considerable beating. A suggestion by the PUC to place a protective chain around the four standards at a cost of $1,135 was deferred. Baird and Uniac said the sewer construction work scheduled this spring and summer could see the light standards affected by the work. Baird asked if the village had insurance on the stan­ dards. Clipperton replied in the negative. PUC head Stan Lovie said in his report to council it would cost $960 to repair the two damaged lights. In other business, council: Will request the ministry of transportation and com­ munications to repair a sec­ tion of the railing on the bridge crossing the Ausable River due to the safety fac­ tor involved. Received a request from Norm Krudrenecky that sewers be installed along River Road. Council in­ structed Clipperton to in­ form Krudrenecky 'that the fishermen along the road have expressed opposition to the sewer. Learned the village assessment from Lambton county is up $300 from last year for a total of $49,521 for 1979. Agreed with a suggestion from Uniac that the village and Chamber of Commerce should look into property betterment scheme for the village, private property owners would be recognized for doing their share in im­ proving the village’s appearance. Council will ap­ proach the Chamber with the idea. Requested the street sweeper from Forest to clean the village’s streets at a rate of $30 per hour. Approved a sign permit application from the Green Forest Motor Lodge.
