I
Area man on accommodation board
A Grand Bend man has
recently been appointed to
the board of directors of
Accommodation Ontario.
Erwin Schottroff of Pinedale
Motel joined the group in
October, which was formerly
known as the Ontario Motel
Association.
The association changed
their name after the initials
became confused with
medical associations,
Schottroff explained.
Schottroff says that the
benefits of Accommodation
Ontario outweigh the costs
of joining the organization.
He sees the most important
advantage as the "total
voice"-- by being a member
of the organization, an in-
dividual motel owner can
speak up. Accommodation
Ontario acts as a voice for all
motel owners, Schottroff
explains.
At present the group is
looking into sales tax on
accommodations. The sales
tax has been removed until
next June by the provincial
budget. The organization
will also look at other pieces
of new legislation when they
are introduced.
As well as having a "watch
dog" organization, motel
owners who are members of
Accommodation Ontario are
given better rates on their
Visa and Mastercard
charges.
Sometimes better in-
surance rates are also
available to members,
Schottroff says. The better
rates come as a result of
having so many motel
owners with which to deal.
Schottroff says he would
like to see more motel
owners join the organization.
He also has plans of
organizing a small local
group in the Grand Bend
area. He says that motel
owners could help each other
out if they were organized.
He suggests that a small
local group could pass along
information about such
things as people who, pay with
bad cheques. They could
make sure that all the motels
in the area are giving a fair
exchange for the American
dollar. He would like to see
such an organization pass

Decision today on
Bosanquet bylaw
A decision on the con-
troversial zoning bylaw in
Bosanquet township will be
handed down from the
Ontario Municipal Board
this morning (Wednesday).
Hearings concluded last
Wednesday at which time
chairman W.H.J. Thompson
said he would return today
with his decision. His results
will be given at the Thedford-
Bosanquet Community
Centre in Thedford. Officials
were surprised that
Thompson agreed to return
with his decision. The OMB
usually gives written
decisions which are often
delayed for several months.
The hearings began last
September and lasted for a
week. When not all the
testimony had been heard,
the hearings were adjourned
until January 5, Thompson
concluded this session after
a week and a half.
On Wednesday, Thompson
surprised the hearings by
announcing that he had done
some detective work to
disprove the testimony of
one objector to the bylaw.
The objector, George
Pembleton, had requested
permission to put a wrecking
Westons sliced
White
breod
yard on his property on
county road 12 just east of
Forest. Pembleton told the
hearing that he wanted the
wrecking yard in con-
junction with his garage
business in Forest.
Thompson said that he and
his fellow board member
drove through Forest and
found a "for sale" sign on
Pembleton's garage, after
Pembleton had told the
hearing that he had in-
structed his real estate agent
to withdraw if from sale.
Thompson then contacted
the real estate agent who
said the property was still
for sale.
Prior to the Pembleton
request the board dealt with
objections to enviromental
protection zones and flood
plain areas in Port Franks,
appeals from developers in
the Ausable River "Cut"
area, a request from John
Kelders to expand his camp
ground, and appeals from
Stan and Cathy Kwarciak to
zhange zoning to allow for
expansion of their farm
produce packaging
operation. All of these
questions will be dealt with
today when Thompson gives
his decisions.

vices they offer. Schottroff
would like his group to look
into establishing a general
fee scale according to the
number of stars a motel is
given.
Schottroff lists cleanliness
as the most Important item
for a motel. He says that
tourists always look for
clean rooms. Along the same
lines he lists the general
appearance of the motel
itself, as very important. A
neat, tidy yard will attract
vacationers, he says.
Most customers like to see
rules and regulations en-
forced, Schottroff adds. Hi
has found that visitors thank

him for curtailing late night
parties.
Friendliness is another
important part in operating
a motel, he says. Many
visitors like to get to know
the operator and enjoy a
chat.
Schottroff has been run-
ning Pinedale Motel for
three years, after several
years as a farmer and
butcher. He and his wife
enjoy the motel business,
and say they would like to
expand their operation.
The Schottroffs are
