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 Erwin Schottroff SPECIAL LOW GROCERY PRICES frozen York 8 oz. pkg. meat pies Bye The Sea 6 1/2 oz. tin chunk light tuna assorted 24 oz. tin Clark's stews Ken -L Tender Chunks 2 kg pkg. dog food .911. v.99 1.19 1.29 1.99 orange IIa.ot.r Tang crystals Ouaker - 1,fe breakfast cereal Hershey instant chocolate 650 n 2.39 '5 or ■99 � f°1■19 Rowntree family pack barscandy 4 t reg 99 Wrs ■ with cheese Kraft p172a ell): 1.69 Ar ck deodorant Carpet Fresh t," Laura Second puddings 400 g cont Fleecy ',gild fabric 12e,� softener a, „� 2.49 Iro7Pn HinNmor turbot f4S11 m ba"'' • fish sticks t o3e 1.99 Minute Mad trove orange juice 1212 t1 .99 Marring Meadow a Sea. regular eve Fresh 9$542/.85 Value Pack orange c,e. • 69 McConnell's 9 tea bags pkg of 30.

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. granulated sugar 1 2 kg bag Limit 2 bags per customer with a 520.00 grocery purchase excluding tobacco products. 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 1111 1 I 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 IItravelling to Peterborough this week to attend a meeting of Accommodation Ontario.
