Fraleigh had been especially invited to attend the meeting to hear some of the proposals being put forth by the Harbour Com- mittee to progress with Phase I of the Spriet report. Times -Advocate, August 28, 1985 Page SA Fraleigh visits harbour meeting 'The Farmer' may get guard status At the invitation of the Grand Bend Harbour Committee, Larnbton M.P. Sid Fraleigh took time out from his busy schedule to attend Wednesday night s meeting. The issues set before him concern- ed a harbour basin (Feral jurisdic- tion) improvement and the proposed auxiliary Coast Guard. Fraleigh, a long time property owner in the Port Franks area, demonstrated • a knowledge and understanding of the economics involved in harbour im- provements - the need for a lift well - to the fishing industry. Rev. Quick, regional co-ordinator for Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary groups also attended the meeing. He was in Grand Bend to inspect and ac- cept the application by G.B. boater Merchants are happy with parking limitation A somewhat lighter than usual "workload allowed for a little levifty'at Grand Bend council Monday. August 19. The new two-hour parking limit on Main Streettlas resulted in a handful of letters of protest, explanation or outright indignation. Along with the $10 fine payment, letters asking to be excused from the fine were received. Council did consider each excuse but found only one legitimate case for rescinding the fine - that of the Parachute Jump truck when picking up equipment after a jump on Canada Day. Reeve Bob Sharen reports that quite a few businesses are now repor- ting that the two hour parking limit on Main Street is working well. Also on the subject of parking pro- blems, Frank Martin, appeared before council to explain and justify levying a charge to those who park- ed on his property. It was noted that charging for parking is illegal (residential property being used com- mercially) : that only the owner's vehicles may be parked on private property; and that others who park op private property are tresspassing and subject to being towed away at the car owner's cost. Martin was advis- ed to so sign his property, stating by- 9NCEEOS PIZZERIA 41 Main St., Grand Bend 238-2161 Lit. under L.L.B.O. A. John Hughes, C.D.

Martin explained he had no wish to turn visitors to Grand Bend away by creating unpleasant situations of towing cars away; however on busy weekends his property was often lit- tered with garbage so he charged a fee to defray the cost of paying for clean-up. Once again it was entered in the records that By -Law Enforcement Of- ficer Keith Crawford has perform- ed his duties exceptionally well. To date, eight private residences and one business have been charged with ex- cessive noise. The Tree -house restaurant has decided not to pay the fine ($103) but to challenge the charge at a hearing to be held in Grand Bend on Friday, September 13 at 9:30 alai. Witnesses are being sub- poenaed by Village council. Two by-laws were read and passed: they involved Parking in Beach Area and a site plan agreement for Kadlecik property. Councillor Dennis Snider reported on a very interesting meeting with the Grand Bend Airport Committee on August 9. It appears Grand Bend will lose the landing strip and the businesses associated with the airport if some means of both private and government support is not found to keep a runway up to licensed stan- dards. Council was asked to par- ticipate with facilities and possible grant monies. As a gesture of good -will, council voted to present this year's O.P.P. contingent with 25 Grand Bend lapel pins. Church of God There were no services- this past Sunday in Grand Bend. The Pastor and many of the congregation were in Thamesford to attend a provincial convention there.

Mission accomplished. The further proposal by fisherman Joe Green to modify and use his fishing boat as part of the Auxiliary was found to need considerably more study since the Coast Guard does not have any "charter or lease employ- ment" arrangements said Quick. More explanations as to the pro- cedures and methodology of Auxiliary Coast Guard were made by Quick. Harbourmaster David Gill reported that to date the harbour staff and voluntee"s have been involved in 21 various rescues this boating season ( a statistic that nearly equals the most "tasked" Auxiliary Coast Guard in Quick's records). In addition, Har- bour has assisted with towing in seven windsurfers who needed help. Revenues reported by the harbour- master now top $100,000 for the year. United Church News An enthusiastic congregation greeted George and Margaret Jenner from Cambridge at the outdoor ser- vice, of Grand Bend United Church, Sunday. George played the organ for the hymns, favoured us with a solo and accompanied his wife as she sang "There Is A Light". He spoke for a few moments on his Christian faith and said that something holding us back from praising the Lord is forgiveness, knowing that God forgives us and us being able to forgive others. Rev. Peebles took as his text por- tions from Jeremiah 36. His medita- tion was titled "God's Truth Destroyed Never".
