One of them, Forest Reeve Pat Boyd, would be only the second woman warden in Lambton history, the first being Barbara Horner, Point Edward deputy reeve, who served in 1984-85. Also announcing their candidacies at the annual warden's banquet Saturday were Bosanquet Township Reeve Fred Thomas and Dawn Township Reeve Robert Langstaff Boyd has served on the Forest public school board for' five years: four years on the Lambton County board of education. and six years in municipal politics. Thomas is serving his second term as Bosanquet reeve and has been a municipal politician since 1980. Langstaff has served on.county coun- cil for six years. Outgoing Warden Joe Dedecker, Sombra Township reeve. told about 500 people at the Wilkesport Com- munity Centre banquet that during the year Lambton council had made "several landmark decisions...some of them not very popular, but an in- dication of the times." One decision was to follow through on a consultant's report recommen- ding trimming costs at the two coun- ty homes for the aged, North Lamb - ton Rest Home and Lambton Twilight Haven. North Lambton administrator George Maybury and Lambton Twilight Haven administrator Dick Provencher were both fired and replaced by Doug Hutton. Maybury is suing the county for $245,000 for wrongful dismissal. Council also bowed to public pressure when it decided against a consultant's recommendation to sell Lambton Twilight Haven to private enterprise. "The hospitality I received as warden was excellent. I have never eaten so much roast beef in my life...the equivalent of at leasti1u e steers," Redecker said jokingly.

North Topic of annexation on council's agenda , At a recent meeting of Grand Bend council, it was decided that annexa- tion ot` neighbouring land was the on- ly solution for a new development. It was moved by Councillor Bruce Woodley and seconded by Councillor Marsha Lemon that council advise the Township of Stephen and Hardie Planning & Research Consultants, that the village suggests annexation for a number of reasons. The con- sultants are acting for developers of Green Forest Estates, which will be located off Gill Road, a portion of which is situated in the Township of Stephen and presently is not paved. With this subdivision, the village feels that the road should be paved, as there will be substantial increase in traffic, which will have direct effect on the village. Sewer and water services must come from the Village of Grand Bend, and it would facilitate the develop- ment to have the subdivision inside village limits. The location of Green Forest Estates in proximity to the Grand Bend Public School would sug- gest that it is appropriate for this area to be a part of the Village of Grand Bend. Other recreation facilities of Grand Bend will be utilized by the residents of the subdivision. Last but not least, the village is ex- periencing considerable growth on its boundaries which increases the de- mand for services within village limits, with no increase in revenue! Council approved the sign permit application for Mr. Mugs Donut Shop, located on Ontario Street North. The new coffee shop will be open soon and is located across from Rollies Sports. Councillor Barb Southcott made coun- cil aware that this sign was just a temporary one. Help man in motion The Grand Bend Lions club held their regular meeting lat week. They decided to erect a new sign at the recreation field in the village beside the Legion. It will notify the com- munity that the project was co -funded by the Grand Bend Lions. It was noted that the group helped to fund the Grand Bend Nursery school Hallowe'en parties, and also a party for the kindergarden, grades. one and two at the public school this year. Certificates are being sold for $5.00 a certificate to sponsor Rick Hanson, the "man in motion" who is travell- ing across Canada by wheelchair. Any donation will be gratefully ac- cepted by the Lions.
