God sent Jesus to fulfill all the prophecies and He died on the Cross to show His love for His believers. Today we are often tested in friendship - a true friend will go that extra mile and stick with the friendship. They will 'stand us up when we fall, and give us strength to go on. The symbol of the Cross could, be death, but through out faith the symbol of death and destruction could be the Cross of love. Coffee hour hostess today was Mrs. Francis Kite.

Figures still incomplete • Times -Advocate, March 24, 1982 Page 19 Grand Bend budget shows slight increase Grand Bend's 1982 municipal budget should fall within five to eight percent of last year's budget, accor- ding to expenditure figures reached at the village's budget meeting ,Monday night. Councillors were not sure of, the extent of provincial grants or levies of the board of education or the county, and so the amounts allocated to each committee were only tentative. Based on present expectations, the village will be spending 8297,826 com- pared to 8297,066 last year. Reeve Bob Sharen told council that the equivalent 21/2 mills of tax revenue property had been lost due to the three fires in the last nine months. He also ex- pected the county levy to be over 12 percent higher this year. Harold Green commented that thereas a 840,000 deficit .last year in public works. roads and parks. Councillors tried to cut costs wherever they could. The recreation budget was reduced from $9,700 to 88.- 000. Originally, $2,500 was budgeted for the village of- fice's new propane furnace, but Keith Crawford urged that council wait until It could examine the old post office which will be, vacant in two months. The amount for the furnace was then cut to $1.500. There will be no in- crease in the village's summer employees' wages, leaving the amount of $6,700 unchanged. The budget for beach, - recreation. sign inspection and parking lots is $13,700. For property. animal control and sanitation, the amount is $79.476. Public works, roads, parks and green areas will ' cost 867650, and 876,300 was allocated for finance and ad- ministration and planning board. The levy for the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority is 82,999. Village revenue from water and sewer surcharges will be $10.000 and $8.000 respective- ly.

Cost will be $4,600. Sports field drainagework can begin Workon installing drainage tiles on the site of Grand Bend's sports field will begin as soon as the contractor feels the ground is ready to be worked on. Hodgins and Hayter Ltd., of Grand Bend, was given the contract for 84,600 plus levelling costs Last week by village council. According to company estimator John Mason, work can begin as soon as frost and moisture conditions are within ac- ceptable limits. Councillor Harold Green said council would enquire of the Ministry of Culture and Recreation, which -is funding half of the cost, if the job must be entirely finished by March 31 to qualify for. the grant. The contract calls for four - inch tiles to be laid at 15 -foot intervals, connected to a six- inch main drain 'at the west end. The tiles were deemed necessary because of the presence of clay in the ground, which prevents natural drainage. Mason said the tiling work could be done in two days if the debris on the site could be quickly cleared away. Levelling is done with a bulldozer and tests are carried out with a special laser.equipped sight . plane, he said. Total working time could be a week to ten days, of GB firehall gloomy village to abandon the idea. - Both •Stephen township deputy reeve Allan Walper and Bosnaquel reeve Charlie Srokosz cited the high cost as their chief objection to the two-storey, 4,200 -square -foot building, „whose cost, had ••. .x INTERIOR TAKING SHAPE -- Ron Heywood of RH&S Painting in Exeter applies Taint to the ceiling in Grand Bend's post office, which is rapidly nearing completion.

The decision came after Bob Sharen; • Allan Walper and Bosanquet councillor Fred Thomas unsuccessfully inspected four firehalls in Lambton County. last Wednesday. The eight-year- old Petrolia hall, at $130,000, would cost $245,000 today, Sharen said. Walper said he believed an adequate hall could be built by local contractors at a reasonable . cost. "We are willing to pay for whatever gives us our • money's wor- th," he said, adding that he thought the second floor was unnecessary. Several builders have agreed to supply him with firm estimates on a one -storey building, he said. Srokosz said his council is still willing to explore more possibilities. "They have not -seen the revised tender figures yet, but they would probably prefer the one - storey idea, with a slightly larger floor space," he said. Bosanquet is willing to be. flexible about the cost if it can be brought down close to what they want, he added. Grand Bend fire chief Harry Hamilton said his men are fed up with the present firehall, "but it might be a year before they get something else. They would be satisfied with anything better." Hamilton said he would like to see the training area separate from the parking area, but recognized that Stephen township disap- proves of a second storey. "I don't think the difference in. price will be as great as is thought," he said. Sharen said he would report the situation to council at the budget meeting Monday and advise that the project be dropped. YOUR FLOOR COVERING SPECIALISTS €let Hvey.Z1 grand R.tnd 238-8603 he felt. A drainage plow attached to a "bulldozer opens the ground to a depth of two feet, Mason said. Tiles are ac- tually plastic hoses with holes in the top to admit water. The tiles are built with ribs for greater strength, and can be unrolled in 300 -foot lengths. Clean crushed stone is used for filler in low spots for quicker drainage, Mason said. Drain tile contractors are licensed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Mason is licensed as.a class A operator, which means he can work'` without govern- ment inspectors on the site. Lions Club president Rick Sawyers said he was anxious to see the project get started, as the time required to plan the sports field had worked his club members very hard. "It's very helpful to see some progress," he said. The second stage in the project is the construction of the community center, for which further funding can be obtained from Culture and Recreation. Quiet week at Pinery There were no accidents. reported to the Pinery OPP last week. Nine persons were charged under the Li- quor License Act, and five under the Highway Traffic Act. One person was found driving with a suspended licence, and one while im- paired. There were 11 mis- cellaneous occurrences.. borrow to cover sudden costs. . The continuing issue of the proposed firehall occupied a fair share of the discussion time. Keith Crawford and Harold Green agreed with reeve Sharen that the modified tender of $110,000 was an attractive offer com- pared to the $65,000 building which Stephen township had recently been offered by a builder to construct. Craw- ford felt it would be foolish to abandon the two-storey firehall at the revised price. And the engineers will stand behind their design," he said. Sharen concurred, saying, "Ours is an excellent value compared to that of Port Lambton, and we have 40 square' feet more." Port Lambton was one of the halls he had visited last week with delegates from Stephen and Bosanquet townships. Built in 1979 for $40.000 more than Grand Bend's current planned hall, Sharen had called it the closest thing to what the village needed. Let's run around together. PiWINIMINCIII Sharen was hopeful that Bosanquet would soon recon- sider its reluctance to shoulder its share of the 8110.000 price. Crawford said he thought,Stephen township could be persuaded to change its mind, but Sharen recommended that if no progress was made within a week. the whole idea should be dropped. Dennis Snider commented that perhaps Grand Bend should team up with Bosanquet and split the cost between them. Finally, council agreed to budget 820.000 for the firehall proposal favoured by Stephen township.
