OMBUDSMAN HERE Coordinator of hearings for • the office of the Ontario Om- budsman, Barry Kearns -and Katy Malouf; hearings of- ficer, heard a variety of com- plaints from area residents in the Grand Bend Council chambers Wednesday last week. Kearns said they had six problems to consider. He explained that they try to group hearings within a 60 mile radio's and bring the Om- budsman to the people of the province every six months. "The whole philosophy is to give people a way to talk about; their concerns. The Ombudsman should be out and about the province", he said. Heurged people to con- tact the office to air their con- cerns by calling collect 416-596-3300. COfPuPIE1MJ BOOKKEEPING INVESTMENTS •V LEADING TRUST COMPANIES ART READ Chartered Accountant (519) 238-2388 BRAND BEND, ONTARIO Smolders explained that certain areas within the village limits no longer came under the restrictions of a former study and that plann- ing board, with her advice, had mostly re -designated the . land back to its former use. There was some question of this from citizens attending the meeting. Glenn Pridholm asked why a strip of land along the south side of River Road had not been re- designated low-density residential. Smolders said she would go over that with the Planning Board: • Don Southcott said he was curious about the designation in the portion of the old river bed south of Lake Road, since it was never under flood plain restrictions. He also asked about a small bit of land at the south of River Road in the old river bed. Smolders thought it might be where the Yacht Club building is situated. Van Laughton suggested it would be better to describe land by lot and plan numbers rather than by the names of present occupants. He felt that since property changes hands it would be more precise for future reference. Bill Sturdevant asked about erosion control in the area of the banks of the river under- mined by power craft in the area of the Cruising Club. Harold Green, village representative for. the Ausable-Bayfield Conserva- tion Authority, said that it was on the agenda of the Authority but not a priority at this time. Chairman for the meeting; Reeve Bob Sharen, ruled Ar- chie Gibbs out of order for his questions about ownership. Sharen told the group that ob- jections be aired at the next planning meeting and that final objections should be sent to council in letter form to be forwarded to the Ontario municipal Board.

Merchants will be invited to join with sidewalk sales and crafts per- sons are being encouraged to participate. The Grand Bend Womens' Institute has planned a pie and tart sale and Dave Shep- pard has volunteered the space in front of Young Classic Salon. Enthusiasm is growing to fill the Main Street area with interesting produce and merchandise. At the regular meeting of the Chamber, held at Birch Bark Trailer Park, Tuesday night, the group decided to sponsor two evenings of special Grand Bend Christmas shopping, November 24 and 25, when local business persons would each offer special items for sale. There was some discus- sion at the meeting as to whether the group should sub- sidize advertising for non-members. - It was learned that Sand- castle Day cost the Chamber about $1,400. "It was money well spent and less than we expected"said president Mac Dunlop. During the year the group has put about *22,000 back into the community. Members have donated "hun- dreds of hours of time." There was cash donated for prizes for Sandcastle Day and for Canada Day celebrations. The, group financially sup- ports the Busy Bee Day Camp, annual Ausable- Bayfield canoe races and SWOOP (a locally based parachute organization). There is money set aside each year for the proposed sports complex: Flags are replaced in the village each year by the Chamber and the new highway signs and trash bar- rels were crafted and financ- ed by the group. The latest project was to purchase poles to define new parking space. Now the group will look into providing picnic tables for the north beach and benches at strategic spots within the village. Presently a committee is working with council to help with parking problems another year. It has been sug- gested that unused space near commercial establishments be used to alleviate weekend congestion during the sum- mer. Iltll and Bev Harwood and Dunlop will work with the village on the project. During the meeting there were letters read, con- gratulating the organization on the Sandcastle Day effort. Chamber members express- ed appreciation to volunteer. markof organizer Laurie Hartnell. Winners of the photography contest, run in conjunction with Sandcastle Day, will be announced the day of the Farmers' Market. The annual golf tournament for members will be at Oakwood, Friday October 15.
