• Exeter, Ontario -
Dcar Editor:.
In -response to last week's article
"Yet: Another Beach Dispute" we
think that property_: owners on and
near the beach NEED to he heard .
from
We -arc the owners of the fence in
Llu.'stion and have owned this prop-
erty fur nine years. We paid a -price -
for this luxury and «'e -love it!
Our fence was in. place when we
purchased ibis property and sccmal
`to US an obvious' entrance to a
driveway =and private property.
1 towcvcr, each summer and almost
• every. weekend, We have been faced
with pcoplc_ who block access to
our driveway with their vehicles and
proceed a half -a mile down the
..b<<ach and one hundred yards into
the lake.- With two small children it
leaves us absolutely stranded in.the
event of an emergency. - -
Tlle gate was erected last summer
as we had several incidents of pco-
ple'driving in our driveway and
parking -on our property. The gate
has not been a deterrent and finally
last week we broke down and put an
unfriendly. "t'rivate Drive" sign on
what we feel is a natural, rather at-
- tractive looking fence. Our fence
certainly does not block access to
the beach_ as it is ;used daily. by
• many pcoplc' and is also large -
- . enough for boat -launching, .large
water trucks and cvcn bulldozers
which iravclalong the water's edge.
To us and our neighbours to thc
south, north and east of us, the dig -
pule is not how people gain access.
to the teai:h but what they do with
the privilege of using it. Every
spring we take it upon ourselves to
clean and sometimes rake the teach
in. front of our property of the win-
ter debris. We have hauled away

Every night of the weekends there
are pcoplc lighting bonfires; swim-.

front.yard!- Often these partics do
not begin until after midnight: On

foul language is used. - -
In the morning, we arc left with
the garbage and brokcn glass (usu-
ally brown) and yesterday our four
year old cut her foot on a broken
beer bottle. This is- a common oc-
currence duringthe summer: -
We have often gone down to thc-
beach in the middle of the night to
- extinguish a glowing fire that the
wind has reignited. Cars race up
and down the road at all hours of
thc night or as long as th.L> partics
last.
Why should we, the residents,
have to put -up with partics, gar-
bage, broken glass, foul language
and noise at all hours of the morn-
ing by pcoplc who arc allowed to
__use this most:treasured-land with
no obligations?
The question of human waste has
been raised to us by every property
owner that we know in this arca.
What arc thc pcoplc who spend all
day and,i lost of the evening on the
beach doing for washroom facili-
tics and is this not a concern for
the people who frequently use this
beach, the Township of Ilay, thc
Minister of I Icalth and -the Mini-

certainly is for us and for anyone
who cares about our Great Lakes

War at is worst. Men at their heat,
and our environment!
The majority of the pcoplc using
public beaches pay taxes for which
they receive water, sewers, paved
roads, street lights, sidewalks and
garbage collection. We also pay a
substantial amount in taxes and we
have none of these services. We
also have no protection against
people abusing thc property adja-
cent to ours. Perhaps, the Town-
ship should consider closing the
road to all non-residents after sun-
set!
It -seems to us that only those
who pay for this luxury arc the -
ones who truly appreciate it, re-
spect it and love it.
As this letter clearly illustrates;
we do not feel that our fence poses.
a threat to thc usc of public beach-
es but will the lake and the beaches
be environmentally safc and there
-for thc next generation- to use if
more pcoplc don't care?
