Councillor Harold Green who lives in that area said the situation is very unfair, because many homeowners believe they are going to get sewers. They will have to pay more if the sewers are added later. Last summer landowner Peter Dud agreed to give a 10 foot easement of his property for the building of a pumping station. He later changed his mind, council was told in a report from the sewer liaison committee, Oud is presently on vacation in Florida and won't be home until Satur- day. The land in question was recently purchased by Oud and a portion was severed and purchased by Harold Amy. Both men agreed at the time of the severence that they would each give 10 feet for the pumping.station, and engineers went ahead, making plans on that assumption. About $10,000 was spent on engineering studies, councillor Harold Green said, Green said that unless Oud agrees to give the easement, homes on. Lakeside Circle won't get sewer connections. It might also mean that Amy could not build on his property, and Oud could not put an addition on his house, Green added. Green told council that he would like to talk to Oud and explain the situation. "I don't think he fully un- derstands," Green said. ° Green asked if tenders for the sewer work in that area could be held until after he talks to Oud this Saturday. Clerk Louise Clipperton said that she thought the tenders would notbe called for until after that time. Council fears helicopter rides may produce noise complaints HOLDING TANK — Piles are being driven 50 feet into the ground on highway 81 at the east edge of Grand Bend. This will be the main pumping station in the sewer system, and is one of the most expensive projects. Difficulties were en- countered last week when the piles hit hard clay and some buckling occurred. T-A photo 4-H club news Several members of bank of Montreal.

Grand Bend 4-H club number one, the "Better Bedsides," met last week at ' Teresa Baltessens home. This was meeting five. Roll call was answered by "Describing the furniture in your bedroom and how you use it." Bedroom color schemes were discussed, how to arrange pictures on the walls and the different types of hooks to hang them by. They also discussed what they had done in macrame and what else they would like to do in macrame. Press report by Shelly Laporte. Grand Bend 4-H club number two met last Either my dog covered'the better part of Bosanquet Township Sunday morning, or a lot of well-meaning people out there lied to me. The day started bright and early when Pepper and I got up at 6:00 a.m. to see off my husband as he headed for a convention in Toronto. I thought the logical thing to do after that would be to jump back into that warm bed I had just climbed out of. I tried to convince a very wide• awake and exuberant overgrown puppy that he should go back to his warm and cozy bed in the basement. Nothing doing. The sun was up and he wanted out. Fine, until he started barking at the sunrise. The neighbours wouldn't ap- preciate a "woof-woof-woof" at 6:15 . I went to the door and called Pepper. tie danced around, begging me to go for a walk with him. I put on my red fuzzy housecoat and snowmobile boots, and chased the bouncing dog. (Now I know why they call them "springer" spaniels). After a lot of dancing and dodging, I grabbed him by the collar and hauled him back into the house. I was quite definite about getting back into that warm bed, now. If the only way I was going to get there, was to let the dog join me, so be it. Have you ever had a bunkie that picks ice balls out from between his toes with his teeth, and then spits them at you? It's really refreshing to roll over on top of a tiny chunk of ice. 7:00 a.m. - Pepper decides that the most comfortable place in the bed is my pillow and sprawls himself across my face. I wake up when breathing becomes difficult, get out of bed and haul him down to the foot. 7:15 - Pepper decides my pillow needs plumping up. He grabs it in his teeth and gives it a good shaking, making the appropriate growling noises. 7:30 - Pepper becomes very affectionate. A couple of swipes with his wet tongue Tuesday evening at the town hall for their organization meeting, on "Your corner of the world." Leader is Marg Desjardine with assistants Norma Walper and Nancy Turnbull. Officers elected were-President-Arlene Walper Vice President- Sherrie Desj'ardine Secretary rotating, and press reporter, Allyson Shepherd. The leaders gave an in- troduction and history talk on macrame. The girls made a chart of what their bedroom looks like now and how they would like it changed. DeCoration ideas and , color; schemes were discussed. Loreen Devine spent last Wednesday afternoon with her father, Fred Weiberg, on the occasion of his 89th birth- day. They enjoyed birthday cake with compliments of the Blue Water Rest hoine. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Eagleson, of Grand Cove, returned home from Florida to attend the funeral of their brother-in-law, Stuart Wolfe, held last Friday in Dash- wood. Mr. and Mrs. Brent Harrington, of London, visited a day here last week with her great grandmother, Mrs. Mae Holt, a great aunt, Beulah Holt, and her grandfather, Erwin Holt. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Tom Desjardine, on the arrival of their first great grandchild, with the birth recently of a baby boy to Diane and Stephen Kadlecik.

A little sister for Nevin. "Almost no one showed up and the objections were minimal," he said. Srokosz said that building will be allowed in the flood plain area if certain criteria are met. All new homes must be 180.6 meters above sea level, as would any additions or remodelling. Existing homes would be allowed to remain as they are. "I think we've been able to resolve most fears," Srokosz said. He said that the engineering firm who prepared the study for the township would be willing to provide individual lan- downers with their elevations, if the owners were organized. Srokosz said that he had talked to Bert Pearce, one of the landowners who had filed suit against the township. Srokosz said that Pearce was "totally satisfied". Karen McArthur, • of Port Elgin, spent a week's holidays here at the home of her grandparents, Lawrence and Enid Johnson.

Pepper wants out again. I pour myself a glass of orange juice and.look out the window. There is my dog high-tailing it downthe frozen river after a snowmobile, He thinks he's a greyhound, A group of children tobogganing down the river bank and across the river catches Pepper's eye. If there's anything he likes better than chasing snowmobiles, it's kids. I watch as one tiny tyke in a very bulky red snow suit tries desperately to climb the hill, pulling her sled behind her. Each time she reaches the half way point, Pepper bounces down to meet her, and bowls her over, sending her sliding down the hill on her back. The sled escapes her grasp. I decide I'd better call off my dog, before the child staffers some severe psychological damage and hates spaniels forever. I throw on my jeans and a parka. By the time I get to the hill, there are no kids playing, no dog, Nothing. I flag down a group of, snowmobilers. Sure they saw a black and white dog - he was following a group of kids down the river towards Port Franks. I start walking on the river, I every so often hear a loud crack and the ice shudders beneath my feet. Snowmobilers zoom by, not hearing the cracking, Please turn to page 24 No more problems on flood plain plan Bosanquet reeve Charlie Srokosz is hoping that law suits against his township will now be withdrawn, following a meeting con- cerning flood plain proposals recently. Several land owners filed law suits against the township last fall when an old by-law prohibiting building in flood plains was unearthed. People hoping to erect homes in the sub- divisions along the Ausable River cut were unable to get building permits, and homeowners were told they would be unable to rebuild in the event of fire. About 200 worried lan- downers and residents at- tended the meeting in early November where Lambton County planner Bill Hollo proposed that the area be rezoned residential. Last week's meeting went well according to Srokosz.
