Askdelegations to GB council
to be announced in advance
In a lengthy prepared
statement, Reeve Bob Sharen
outlined many priorities and
changes. _which will be • facing
Grand Bend council during the
1075-76 term ' at • MBnday's
inaugural meeting.
Sharen was the only returnee
when the oaths..of office were
administered. by clerk -treasurer
Louise Clipperton. Rollie Grenier.
who has some previous ex-
perience taki over the newly
created' deputy -reeve post and
council seats will be filled by
newcomers Doug Kincaid, Bill
Baird • and Harold Green. B
' was absent from the Hing
session..;
Father D.F. Boyer of the Grand
Bend Roman Catholic Church •
gave the invocation and Mrs.
Clarke Kennedy was at the, piano
for the singing. of 0 Canada.
Sharen's first .recom-
mendations concerned the
village's procedural bylaw
concerning delegations and
handling of complaints . from"
ratepayers.
In future, all delegations must
• submit a brief written notice of
the nature of the matter to be
brought before council.
This notice must be presented
to the village clerk by 2 p.m. on
the Thursday immediately prior
to the meeting at which the brief
is to be presented.
Agendas will also be prepared
by the clerk artd be made avilat4e
to council members and the preps
normally in regular attendance
k1' noon on the Friday previous to
d meeting.
Sharen asked council o begin
preparation of a five yaF Capital
Works forecast and seek the
necessary as istarice from the
Ontario TEIGA Ministry.
In the future,_ratepayers
making complaints to council will
be required to sign a form stating
the nature of their complaint.
The Reeve suggested the
position. of building insptlttor in
the village be eliminated and the
work turned over to Lambton
County. .
SGT salaries
Rates of pay were set for
members of council, employees
and members of the Grand Bend
firq,_department. The rates for
firemen were forwarded by fire
chief Harry Hamilton and will
have to be ratified by the Grand
Bend and area fire board.
Salaries for the reeve and
councillors will remain the same
as in 1974. The Reeve will receive
840 for each regular meeting and
815 for any special session.
Councillors will get $35 for
regular meetings -and 810 for each
special.
Pay for the newly created
position of deputy -reeve was set
An auspicious debut,
start, quit on time
- Exeter's new mayor, Bruce
Shaw got off to . an ,auspicious
debut this week.
While sitting on council for the
past four.years, Shaw earned the
rather dubious distinction of
being the last member ,to arrive
at most council meetings.
His predecessor remarked on
many occasions that "Bruce is
here, it must be time to start."
Monday night, however, Shaw
was the first member of council
to arrive at the council chambers
and in fact was the only one on
time according to the clock on the
council chambers wall.
Most members were one or two
minutes.late arriving for the 7:00
p.m. start following their dinner
at Wally's Restaurant and a
picture -taking session with
photographer Jack Doerr.
In his inaugural address, Shaw
outlined se eral new procedures
for meetittg6, one of which was to
have all meetings concluded by
10:00 p.m. He suggested any
extension must lie approved by a
motion of council.
Council narrowly met these
new guidelines. The meeting was
adjourned at 3:58 p.m.
As chairman. Shaw said he
would also attempt to have
council follow a policy of allowing
every council . member to speak
mitt once on every issue. Beyond
that. each member must have
permission of the chairman to
address council for a second time
on the same issue.
A general informal gathering
of council will be held each
meeting night from 7:00 to 7:30.
This will enable committee
members and department heads
to consider specific problems
upcoming on the agenda.
Half the council committees
' will report at the first meeting of
each month, while the $glance
will air their reports at the
second meeting of the month.
at .837.50 for the 24 regular
meetings and 812.50 for extras.
Members must be in attendance --
to qualify for pay. They do not
receive 'an annual honorarium.
The fire- chief will receive an
annual salary of ;175, •his
assistant is to get 8135 and the
captains pay will be 8106. They
will each receive 85 per hour for
any practice -sessions and fires
they attend.
Firemen are to receive 84 per
hour for practices and fires but
.will get another 50tents per hour
for practice sessions if they are in
attendance 75 percent of the time
during the' year.
The salary ot,clerx treasurer
Mrs. Louise Clipperton was set at-
88,000 per" annum. This salary
will_ include her new duties as
secretary -treasurer -of the newly
created Grand Bend recceatonE
committee. She is also the tax
collector and lottery licence
officer.
Mrs. Constance Lewis will be
retained as an office assistant at
the rate of $3 per hour. She will be
required to work two days per
week through the winter months
and full time through the summer
and peak tax collection times. "
Works foreman James
Rumball will receive 88,300 per
year with an additional 8300 when
he completes a current roads
department course.
Set committees
Reeve Sharen was named to
the Ausable-Bayfield Con-
servation Authority and the
village's police liaison
representative. Deputy -reeve
Rollie Grenier is in charge of
roads, parks and green areas and
was named to the Grand Bend
Public Utilities Commission.
Councillor Doug Kincaid will
represent the village on the
Grand Bend and area fire
committee and will be in charge
of finance and administration
Shaw also urged committee
chairmen to. present written
reports to council and also that
each is to examine the
correspondence. prior to each
meeting so they can determine
what is on theagenda peelaining
to his committee.
Committees were also asked to
set a specific date for a monthly
meeting.
"No doubt we will find many
more changes desirablk as the
year progresses, but I think wet.
can do an efficient as well as a'
conscientious job while at the
same time feeling a sense of
accomplishment," Shaw con-
cluded.
Several veteran members of
council lauded his new approach -
to the conduct of meetings and
urged him to ringthe gavel with a
firm hand.
Later in the meeting, he said it
would be unfortunate• if the in-
formality of council meetings
was lost and noted there would
always be a time and place "for
frivolity and humor."
Want public reaction
Statistics show
police were busy
Although the police report for
the past year is not yet com-
pleted. Chief Ted Day told council'
this week it would show that the
department was getting busier
every year.
H s ' there were 33 more
accidents than- in 1973 and 200 to
300 more harges were laid.
Chief D said occurrences
were up in every area com-
rnunity.

chairman Doug Ellison said, "we
want reaction from the' public at
Tuesday's meeting regarding'
proposed sites. If they are for or

different ideas for alternate sites,
we want to know about it. Public
input in a matter of such great
importance is very necessary."

been discussing use of the present .
site at Exeter Community Park
with possible expansion on two
sidts joining up with- the curling
club property.

listed by the committee are'tbe
new tennis courts being con-
structed; close .proximity of the
high and public- school for
recreational value; use of the ball
park and location in the central
part of Exeter.
Some of the disadvantages
include possible moving of the
race track, eventual removal of
small buildings, (horse and sheep
barns) and grandstand. •
The rodeo site would possibly

Still no fire agreement
for Hay Twp residents
Residents in western Hay
Township may have problems -in
the near future if a dispute bet-
ween that township and the
village of Zurich and township of
Stanley over cost sharing for fire
protection is not reached soon.
. Technically, the three Huron
Municipalities have been without
a firefighting agreement since
January 1.
The Zurich Fire brigade covers
the hub - of Hay township
surrounding the village from
about 2 miles west of Hensall to
Lake Huron. The Dashwood
brigade covers a portion to the
south, the Hensall brigade to the
east and the Exeter brigade in
the south-east corner. Zurich
clerk, Mrs. Oke said the Zurich
Report breakins
in resort district -
An undetermined amount of
clothing and novelties was taken
in a -holiday break-in at the. Sun
and Surf Shop at Grand Bend.
The break-in was discovered on
New Year's Day. Constable R. D.
Hendley is investigating. -
Two cottage break-ins were
reported in the Port Franks area
with property valued at 8300
stolen.
The first of two accidents
during the week investigated by
officers of - the Pinery Park
detachment of the Ontario
Provincial Police occurred
Monday, December 30.
Involved were vehicles driven
by Alexander Sholtanuk, RR 2
Grand Bend, and Clark. Gray.
Dresden. The mishap took place
on Highway 21 at the intersection
of Lambton County road 5.
Constable R. J. Sawyers set
damages at 8300.
• Tuesday, Constable Sawyers
estimated damages when a
vehicle driven by Jerry ReloUw.
RR 2 Grand Bend, left the road
and struck a tree. •
During the week, detachment
officers investigated a total of 18
occurrences and laid two High-
way Traffic Act charges in ad-
dition to two charges to drivers
for being impaired.

portion of the township is 'llis..
largest.
A stalemate in-the/agreement,
which was set for December, was
caused by Hay 'Township's op--
position
p-position to its share of the cost.
The cost sharing of the
proposed plan is based on direct
relationship to the assessment
value. Under this new system
Hay townshipwould contribute j52.J percent. while Stanley would
co tribute 20.4 percent and
ich 27.1 percent..
Mrs. Oke said that the portion
of Hay. including a string of
cottages along Lake Huron
represented 52 percent of the
total assessment for the fire area.
The pact was designed to
replace an old agreement under
.which Hay and Stanley paid the
village a flat rate of 8123 -an hour
per fire.
Mrs. Oke said that it was "the
opinion of the board that the only
fair way of -dividing the costs is
through assessment". Leroy
Thiel, an Zurich councillor and
member of the fire board com-
mittee said Monday, the village
would 'likely' help Hay township
in the event of,!!t emergency.
But, he added the village is
anxious that an agreement be
signed as soon as possible.
' Zurich Clerk. Mrs. Oke said
Tuesday she had no idea what the
Hay members were . going to
come up with as an alternative to
the assessment based plan.
Hay clerk. Wayne Horner said
he thought, as far as Hay council
was concerned, "anything over
50 percent was too much". He
said the problem would likely be
resolved by the end of the month
and that the differences could be
worked out. possibly on some
basis other than assessment.
Hay Township Reeve. John
Tinney said Tuesday. he was
"anxious to get the agreement
settled" but he said he felt the
Zurich fire brigade was
dedicated enough that they would
answer a call from Hay township.
He said the Zurich brigade has
not indicated that it wouldn't.
Tinney said he felt the
municipalities were not too far
off an agreement at the present
time but that Hay would try to
keep their. share of the costs
below 50 percent. He said Hay
township's tate' assessment,
including fire protection with the
other three brigades it deals with,
comes to more than 100 percent.
