Campers moving quickly
for Pinery reservations
Campsite Reservations for the 1986
season are now being taken year
round at some of Ontario's Provincial
Parks and campers are quickly book-
ing the sites at Pinery and Ipperwash.
Park Superintendent Ray
Bonenberg noted "Over 1700 bookings
have been received for the parks
since January 1 and several of the
major holiday weekends are almost
completely booked. In total, 475 of the
1266 campsites available at the two
< , ; • . • ��,,� parks are set aside for reservations,
with the balance being available on a
first come first serve basis."
Bonenberg went on to say "800 sites
have been set aside for reservations
on the Victoria Day weekend only.
These sites are available on a pay in
advance basis only. This enables
visitors to get to their campsites
much more quickly and avoid the long
waits in registration lines that have
occurred in recent years."
Reservations for both parks can be
made by telephone or in person at the
Pinery reservation office Monday to
Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pay on ar-
rival reservations will be held until 6
p.m. of the day of your arrival. If you
are arriving later than this, you must
guarantee or pay for your site with a
credit card or cash. A guaranteed or
prepaid:reservation ensures that your
site will be held until 2 p.m. of the day
after your intended arrival.
"Due to the popularity of Pinery
and Ipperwash Provincial Parks peo-
ple are planning their vacations well
in advance to ensure that a site will
be waiting for them when they ar-
rive," Bonenberg said. "This enables
visitors to eliminate the unpleasant,
"I'm sorry we are full" feeling which
is so common at these two parks dur-
. ing the summer season."

Lent is the season of preparation for
Easter, and baptUci was required by
John the Baptist to ready one's soul
for salvz.l:on. In that spirit, Father
Mor,.is,ey integrated a baptism into
the 11 a.m. Mass on Sunday.
Sabrina Julia Twynstra, infant
daughter of Peter and Julia Pergale,
received her baptism in a moving
public ceremony, reminding
everyone of their baptismal vows.
Father Morrissey's sermon, taken
from Genesis; was about the impor-
tance of awareness. You can't love so-
meone you're not even aware of, so
you must pay attention to what goes
on in the lives of those you care about,
just as Christ cares about us. God
revealed Himself to Moses as a God
who noticed the misery of the Jews in
Egypt and cared enough about them
to enable Moses to deliver them. This
offers us the hope of a God who cares,
who will always be there for us in
good times and in bad - the Good
News of the Bible.
Please remember that the World
Day of Prayer is on this Friday,
March 7 at 2 p.m. at tae Grand Bend

group met for a Bible study on the Ho-
ly Spirit, the power that lets one live
a Christian life. The adult Bible study

from Genesis 19-20, which deals with
the destruction of Sodom and Gom-
morrah, and Abraham's rescue of his
nephew Lot.

Rev. Peeble's sermon topic was "I
believe irr the Communion of Saints",
using as his text Luke 24:32. Commu-
nion in this instance means a sharing
of something else in common,
something muchdeeper than
fellowship. It is also a worldwide corn-
munion with those of like mind and
faith, extending through time and in-
cluding people of all races, creeds and
color or status. The one common
denominator is faith in Jesus Christ
our Lord, and may God help us to be
worthy of this blessing of fellowship.
Bible Study Group
Sixteen ladies attended the Bible
study Tuesday. morning at Sauble
Court. The opening prayer was given
by Jean Dykstra, and the hymn sing
was led by Millie Desjardine. Doris
Peebles concluded the chapter on a
"Clean Heart" from a "Workshop on
a Christian Character".
In this chapter on a clean heart, we
are reminded over and over how we
have sinned. Sins of the heart, which
are thoughts and desires usually
come out as sins of actions and
speech, and until we confess these
sins before God, we cut off our
fellowship with Him and seriously im-
pede our growth and witness as
Christians.
Laura McNabb gave the introduc-
' tion to Chapter 3 on "The Humble
heart" and offered the final prayer.
Ladies please remember there will be
no Bible Study in the week of March
break. The Bible studies will resume
• afterward at the same time and
place.

Give tentative okay
to local taxi project
Grand Bend council gave their sup-
port to a proposal for a taxi service
in the resort by local resident Martin
Shakespeare, presented at Monday
night's regular council session.
Shakespeare, presently the new
owner of the Patio Motel, will be
available at all times during the day,
which is essential for this type of on-
call cab service.
Councillor Marsha Lemon sug-
gested that Shakespeare first check
out the market here for a taxi service.
She told him that she felt with the high
percc,ggntage of seniors, he may find
that -they share rides with each other
land that seniors depended on their
'friends for this service. "Our licence
imay be too restrictive for your
speeds," Lemon added.
Councillor Bruce Woodley felt that
t was a good idea, with the many at-
tractions that Grand Bend has to of-
tr, such as the Lambton Heritage
Museum, Huron Country Playhouse,
Pinery Park and the beach area to
name a few. Also taxis could help peo-
ple without a vehicle by delivering
supplies home from area grocery
stores, liquor and other commercial
businesses around the village.
Shakespeare Was informed that
there,was already a shuttlebus ser-
vice ib Grand Bend. He replied that
even if it was not a constant business
it coul3 be a co-operative business,
with .he two services working
together. He was interested in the
village's upcoming extended season
into th winter months.
Cha ring this meeting in the
absen a of the reeve, Deputy -Reeve
Denni Snider told Shakespeare that
the ne t stop was to consult with his
attorn y to finalize his proposal.
Corr spondence was received from
Manor Marine Ltd., Grand Bend, op-
posing council's acceptance at a
previo s February meeting, of
Warner Auto Marine's proposal to
rent spa a at the Harbour building for
a laun'l mat. He questioned why
council ad not put this business
enterpris up for tender so that
everyone could place a fair bid.
Manore a o was opposed to the re-
cent Goer dock proposals as
presented . t a previous meeting. He
felt that there were limitations to both
sides of the river at that spot.
Council referred these matters to
the GB Harbour Committee who will
be meeting on March 20.
A motion was made to accept the
banking proposal of the Toronto -
Dominion Bank in Grand Bend.
Business will run with T/D for the
next three year term.
