Will name parking committee, undertake study
Grand Bend council is ex
pected to appoint a parking
committee in the very near
future and two of its first
priorities were discussed at
Problems
to be aired
As soon as tenders are in
for the upcoming Grand '
Bend sewers system, a
meeting will be called to dis
cuss some of the problems
involved with construction.
Council members agreed
Monday night to include ex
ecutive members of the
Grand Bend Chamber of
Commerce in such a
meeting.
The subject was brought
up when a letter was read
from C of C president Nick
Carter, who is also a main
street business owner.
Carter’s letter asked for
additional information on
the construction. It con
tinued, “I understand Main
street will be interrupted
the longest time. We know
the horrors we can expect
and the loss of business will
be great.”
Carter questioned the
proposed start on Main
street in January saying it
should be left until after
Labour Day.
Councillor Bill Baird
agreed saying, “There is no
reason that most of Main
street can’t be done from
Labour Day until May. We
will have problems, but,
let’s keep them to a
minimum.”
Reeve Bob Sharen
suggested a meeting with
Chamber officials, contrac
tors, engineers and govern
ment officials could be held
by late January. He added,
“The wheels should be tur
ning by that time.”
Monday’s regular meeting.
Two engineers from De
Leuiw Gather discussed with
council the possibility of do
ing a traffic operation and
parking study.
Douglas Barker and Blair
Anderson said such a study
would be subsidized to the
extent of 75 percent by the
Ontario Ministry of
Transportation and Com
munications if that body
gave its approval.
Any work to implement
recommendations of such a
study would be subsidized on
a 50-50 basis.
The study would include
traffic counts, parking
habits of Grand Bend
residents and visitors in
cluding the length of time,
lights, cross walks, etc.
GRAND BEND
Anderson said surveys
would likely be taken on one
or two busy holiday
weekends during the
summer, one nor.-holiday
weekend and possibly one or
two other days during the
season.
The engineer said parking
and traffic on all streets
would be included in the sur
vey when councillor Bill
Baird said, “side street
parking is our biggest
problem”.
Possible solutions could be
traffic light improvements,
cross walksx pavement
markings, parking
limitations, one way streets,
etc.
At the same meeting, Ron
McKerlie of Dictatyme
Systems showed slides of
parking control equipment
which could be used at the
beach parking lot.
Most members of council
appeared to be in favour of
equipment which would be
used with an unmanned lot.
McKerlie said costs would
be cut down and efficiency
would be' maximized with
parking control equipment.
Equipment would include
coin units, entrance and exit
arms and loops under the
ground to activate the arms.
The parking equipment
salesman said the capital
cost of such a project would
probably be close to $6,500.
In other business, council:
Agreed all councillors
•should attend a Lambton
County planning workshop
which is scheduled for Sar
nia’on March 3.
Learned that the Grand
Bend yacht club was
prepared to renew their
lease for dockage which
comes due on Mayl.
Invited members of the
same yacht club to attend
the first council meeting in
January.
Decided to ask the Hay
Municipal Telephone
System to do another survey
in the hope free calls can be
provided between Grand
Bend and Exeter.

by Ann Baltessen, and two
solos by Mrs. Roberta
Walker, “The secret of
Christmas” and “Lo how a
rose e’re blooming” from the
Catholic church.
A number from the Church
of God was a solo
“Redeeming love” sung by
Mrs. Verona Snider.
Grand Bend United
Church ladies presented a
skit (in costume) of the
“Three Wise Men” telling
their story about coming to

go to Mother Theresa in
Calcutta India to help sick
and dying people.
Following the service, a
smorgasbord lunch of
sandwiches, tea and coffee
and cookies, was- held in the
Parish'Mall.
What Ecology teaches us,
and what it implores us to
learn is that all things living
and dead including humans
are inter-related witnin the
web of life. This must be the
foundation of our new ethics.
Humans now are responsi
le for every wolf, as well as
for every child, for prairies
and ocean as well as for
every field.
If you love your children, if
you wish them to be happy,
love your earth with tender
care and pass it on to them
diverse and beautiful so that
they, 10,000 years hence may
live in a universe still
diverse and beautiful and
find joy and wonder in being
alive.
