Mary's musings BY MARY ALDERSON Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder But if the beholder can describe that beauty and share the appreciation with someone else. all the better. We can. take a familiar sight for granted. but unless someone points out the beau- ty of it. we might not ap- preciate it This was brought home to me Saturday when I accompanied the Grand Bend Yacht Club on their an- nual sail past. I was fortunate enough to he on commodore Russ Lingard's boat. All the others sailed past us. while we were anchored. Also on our boat was the first com- modore of the (:rand Bend club Harvey Cowen. As the boats sailed by. both Dr Cowen and Dr. Lingard commented fre- quently on how beautiful they looked Now. I've been watching sail boats on Lake Huron all my life. and I always thought they were very pretty But to fully appreciate the beauty of these majestic sail boats in the gleaming sunshine. gracefully cutting through Lake Huron's chop- py blue water, you had to hear them being admired by fellow sailors. With their colourful hulls, and white sails fully extended, they were. indeed, beautiful. My father, a retired farmer. often pauses to ad- mire an irrigation system in a field. in full operation. To him. that's a beautiful sight To the farmer, who probably worked all day getting the pipes laid. and the system running. it is also a veru beautiful sight. The neat little green rows of some vegetable just com- ing up. with the straight lines of pipes between them, and the sprinklers gently spraying high arches of sparkling water on the plants. with all the attrac- tiveness of a garden foun- tain. is really beautiful. 1 have been watching a flowering crab apple tree in our backyard all week, as the buds have slowly opened into blooms. The other day I mentioned to my husband how pretty the pink blossoms were. Until then, he hadn't noticed it. There are many things we see from day to day, but we don't often stop to take in the beauty of them. If we could just take the time to see the attractiveness in something, we would enjoy our day more Then carrying that one step further, we should try to point out the beauty that we see to someone else. Collect back taxes, auditor warns Grand Bend council was warned by their auditor Tuesday night, that they may have financial dif- ficulties unless they can get residents to pay up back taxes. In 1980, according to the auditor's report, there was $61,154 outstanding in unpaid taxes. In 1979, the figure amounted $45,602. Auditor Wendy Larmer 'said that people not paying taxes is a problem for many municipalities right now, because interest rates are so high that people won't borrow money from banks to pay up taxes. She said that municipalities are only allowed to charge to 14 percent interest per month for unpaid taxes, which only amounts to 15 percent per year, non -accumulative. People find it cheaper to not pay taxes rather than borrow money elsewhere. She said that council should "encourage" the residents to pay up to avoid future financial problems. Council was praised by the auditor for keeping their spending within their projected budget for 1980. Ms Larmer pointed out that council had $832 more than what they had budgeted for. While council had predicted a deficit of $13,057, the actual deficit only amounted to $10,097. Ms. Larmer described being within $832 as "pretty close", considering that they had over $600,000 in ex- penditures. In other business: Council learned from councillor Dennis Snider that work on the new village docks was progressing. Snider said that student employees could begin painting the area that had already been completed. It was also learned that the department of public works was completing a survey of the possibilities of dredging the harbour. The minutes of a recent fire committee meeting were adopted. Attending the meeting were Robert Sharen, Alan Walper and Bill Lindsay, and members of the fire department. Sharen reported that a design has been drafted for a new two storey fire hall at an ap- proximate cost of $95,000. It was decided that the fire committee would meet for a budget discussion on May 25, and again on July 13 and October 12. Colonials win again The Grand Bend Colonials soccer team got back into winning form Sunday when they trounced Stratford 6-1.
