Accounts payable in the amount of $99,478.11 was approved as presented. Reeve Bob Sharen presented a report on the sewer system. It was decided to follow up on this matter periodically, check sewer surcharge accounts and that a comparison be kept from year to year, to monitor any signficant changes. A cash -in -lieu agreement was authorized between council and An- nemarie Luise Kaschper, 81 Crescent, regarding the parking agreement. Also a release agreement with Robert and Jean Simpson: Queen St., was signed re the sewer connection. It was moved by Councillor Dennis Snider and seconded by Councillor Doreen Seguin that GB council authorize • the Reeve to send the following letter to the Windsor Daily Star in response to an article about Leamington and the comparison to Grand Bend. The Editor Windsor Daily Star Windsor, Ontario N8Y 4R4 Dear Sir: Council has been sent a copy of an Lioness in Hallowe'en The Lioness club met at Oakwood Inn dining room on October 24 for their monthly dinner meeting. There was one difference though, this time ___._everyone shawedup-in- costume for Hallowe'en. Forty ladies came, some from Lioness clubs in Exeter, Ailsa Craig and Mount Brydges, to enjoy the din- ner of ham and scalloped potatoes and the festivities that followed. After the business meeting, prizes were awarded to the best costumes. Lee Thomas won the funniest, as a hobo; Valerie Martins was the most original, as a cute doggie; and the scariest was a headless bride from Mount Brydges; Jean Johnson was the prettiest; and Fran Brown from Ailsa Craig won the raffle. Some ladies scurried downstairs right after the judging to scrub off their make-up, while others braved out the whole evening "in character". article that appeared recently in your paper: "Residents launch complaints over Leamington dock traffic." The person sending the article was concerned about the remark at- tributed to Paul Burgess in the second column: "This place is turning in to another Grand Bend," he said, "The amount of drinking that goes on is just terrible." Leamington should be so lucky as to emulate the progress of Grand Bend over the past decade. There are problems everywhere That people congregate. These are being dealt with as they arise. I would suggest to Mr. Burgess, and for that matter to your reporter, Alan Cairns, that before they make any statement or reduce it to print that they verify•their information as well as considering the impact on those thatthey speak about. I'm sure that we in Grand Bend could make adverse comments about Leamington, however, that is neither neighborly nor productive. Therefore, we refrain from this practice. As to the issue of drinking, perhaps Mr. Burgess, and those who are con- cerned should work with their coun- cil and policing authority to ensure that liquor control act regulations -are enforced. Grand Bend has done this and to a large degree has taken the edge off the problem. This is still some pro- blem, but it is being addressed on an ongoing basis. Grand Bend's efforts over the past decade have resulted in the return of the family tourist and seasonal people. We in Grand Bend invite your readers to come and en- joy this area. There are many features and facilities such as the Lambton Heritage Museum and the Huron County Playhouse as well as our better known ones such as the River and the Beach area. Thank you for your courteous atten- tion to this matter. Cordially yours, R.R.

It was moved by Bruce Woodley and seconded by Russ Lingard that the harbour commend to council this proposed on the (McKay) property, with special regard to the width of the river. With some concern of the proposal in the Spriet study, Don Southcott told the committee that he would like to develop his property on the hill above the "Old River Bed." In correspoondence, a letter was read from Raymond and MacLean, Mrs. Eudene Adams' solicitor, stating that she will not accept the previous offer regarding her property line at the new basin. It was moved that this fence On the Adams property follow the property line, and secretary Barb McGregor would poll the council members for their preference on the property line. Two letters were received from in- dividuals wishing dockage for next year. Harbour extended the time date to November 30/85 from the end of October, giving priority to previous boaters first. They must have a 50% down payment and pay the balance owing on January 31, 1986. After the 1985 budget was review- ed, it was decided that they were in good financial shape. Russ Lingard and Tom Lawson will discuss the '86 budget for the next meeting in November, as well as the Harbour- masters' report. The "Welcome to Grand Bend" sign was to be remov- ed for the winter months. Next meeting is on Tuesday, November 19.
