The letter states that the association was formed "due to concern for the future of our beach area known as the south beach." The only infor- mation made public to date is what was reported through the media, and these reports have caused grave concern to the local residents. The aim of the association is to preserve the South Beach and residential surrounds, to help in the long term im- provement of the Grand Bend area as it affects us, but most important, we wish to be kept advised, through lia ison from council to our association of proposed changes and developments in our area, and that we be able to com- ment, aid and assist in the growth of the community.

NOTICE TO RESIDENTS AND RATEPAYERS OF THE VILLAGE OF GRAND BEND Public Meeting on Proposed Amendment No. 2 to the Official Plan for the Grand Bend Planning Area. The Planning Board and Council of the Village of Grand Bend invite village residents and ratepayers to attend this meeting. DATE: September 17, 1982 TIME: 7:00 p.m. LOCATION: Village of Grand Bend Municipal Office, Main Street, Village of Grand Bend PURPOSE: The purpose of this meeting is to present a draft of the proposed official plan amendment and to give Village residents and ratepayers an opportunity to review the proposed amendment,raise questions, make comments or to make written submissions on the proposed amendment. Copies of the proposed amend- ment will be available at the public meeting. BACKGROUND: The existing "Environmental Protection"designation of the Official Plan for the Grand Bend Planning Area is based on the floodplain limits of the Ausable River and Lake Huron. These limits were identified by Paragon Engineering Ltd. In "Cut Secon- dary Plan, Engineering Study, Township of Bosanquet", December 5, 1979. In January 1981, Maclaren Engineers, Planners and Scien- tists completed a study entitled "Hydrology/Hydraulic Review of Grand Bend and Port Franks" for the Ausable Bayfield Conserva- tion Authority. This study reviewed the hydrologic/hydraulic aspects of the Paragon Study and, as a result of the review, the limits of the floodplain in the Village were substantially reduced. The purpose of Amendment No. 2, therefore, is to remove the "En- vironmental Protection" designation from the many properties which are no longer located in the floodplain and to redesignate them for other land uses. Amendment No. 2 generally applies to land abut- ting the Ausable River and Lake Huron in the Village of Grand Bend. It also applies to a portion of the "old bed" of the Ausable River between Lake Road and the Village limits. Planning Board and Council will review all comments received dur- ing and after the public meeting. Further changes may be made to the proposed amendment as a result of the public meeting before it Is adopted by Council.

Harbour group chairman Lawson stated on the weekend that he was pleased at council's endorsement and at the interest shown by the south beach group. He said the seven -man group named by council was a steering committee to work with the other resource persons already involved in the pro- ject. He commented that it was a positive sign to see more and more area residents interested in the future development of Grand Bend. The south beach group indicated they would have members attend the next har- bour meeting.

Sutton referred to the book of Mark, Chapter 8, verse 38 - "For whosoever is ashamed of me and my words in this sinful generation of him will the Son of man also be ashamed." Rev. Sutton asked, "What are we doing as Christians?" If we in our daily work, life and experiences are non par- ticipants, then we are asham- ed of Him. Rev. Sutton claims our God is with us - He walks with us, He is part of us. If we have the faith we are special people. • It would give us peace and a special glow that other peo- ple would sense. We must be a witness of faith, be an ex- ample and be not ashamed of Christ and our faith in Him. This will give us strength to face everyday trouble and worries.

Paul related his ex- periences by asking for help of United, Catholic, Anglican and Presbyterian Churches: He had only $5.00 for food from Friday noon till Monday noon. His experiences were not pleasant. Paul said he would like to go back to Halifax someday - perhaps to preach in those churches I visited as a "bum." CLEARED UP A disagreement between the Grand Bend Property Lovers Organization and Reeve Bob Sharen was cleared up at the regular council meeting last week. Sharen had requested time to explain his stand on the dispute between Ridge Pine Park inc. and the village of Grand Bend. The group had invited him to go to a meeting, speak for 15 minutes and then leave. Barbara Olzen, acting secretary of the group ap- peared at the council meeting to explain. "We felt that you had had a chance to state your case," she said. "It seemed as if our group was being put in an adversary position." Sharen commented that the dispute with Ridge Pine Park inc. (Grand Cove Estates) was a war. "What we're talk- ing about is $12,000 to be add • - ed to the tax bill." However the exchange ended with words of praise for such groups as the PLO..."i view any ratepayers' group as a very positive tool for the com- munity," he said. Times -Advocate, September 15,1982 Page 15 Hall tender call soon Tenders for the Grand Bend, Bosanquet, Stephen fire hall to be built in Grand Bend, may be ready to go out within the next two weeks ac- cording to Grand Bend Coun- cillor Dennis Snider. The plans are now being considered by engineering firm B.M. Ross Associates, Goderich. The firm will also inspect the building from time to time to be sure it meets with the standards set out in the plans. It will be built of steel on wood with a steel lining. Snider. Doug Russell, Stephen and Fred Thomas of Bosanquet met together last week to approve the engineer's ideas.
