Problems arise for order
to dump gravel on beach
A court order requiring that 9,600
cubic yards of sand and gravel be
dumped on the beach in front of the
Ridgeway subdivision north of Grand -
Bend has proven to be a case of easier
said than done.
Following the order impose) by Mr.
Justice Marvin Catzman in the
dispute between Ridgeway owners
and their neighbors in Schade View
subdivision, several roadblocks have
arisen.
First of all, the ministry of
natural resources had to give ap-
JOIN GB BROWNIES — Last week these 15 Tweenies joined the

proval, and that took a considerable
length of time.
Then, an elaborate access road had
to be built to the beach and permis-
sion had to be sought from property
owners to drive the trucks carrying
the sand and gravel across their
properties.
Couples enjoy
medieval fete
Guests arrived in all shapes,
numbers and old-fashioned costumes
at the annual medieval night at The
Thirsty Fox Pub, Grand Bend. Host
and hostess were Kevin and Marilyn
Snook.
If the roaring fire in the pitplace,
the wood chips scattered entirely over
the floor, or the smiling faces around
you, didn't warm your heart, the real
live dog sleeping on his pedestal did.
The medieval meal commenced
with a horn of plenty filled with dif-
ferent kinds of nuts and mandarin
oranges, honeywine meat and phea-
sant soup. No eating utensils were us-
ed and all courses were served on
large platters set in the middle of the
long tables, garnished with fresh
braided bread loaves.
Fingers reached out for the
barbecued ribs, savory breaded
chicken, lamb chops, roasted
vegetables and assorted drinks and
wines. Even in the Middle Ages they
finished up with delicious apple/ched-
dar cheese turnovers.
Everyone had a great time at this
wild medieval party and look forward
to next year!

wood, got $75 and Frank Humer of
Grand Bend got $50.
The ladies of the CWL catered the
lunch for the dance, and with a crowd
that "size, there was very little food
left. A big thanks goes to Sirnoble
Marty Kelders (and his Sultana Deb-'
bie) who was chairman of this event,
and to all the sirnobles and their
sultanas, who helped to make it such
a great success.
Meanwhile, there is some question
over whatis crown land and what is
private property. The lake has goug-
ed away huge chunksof beach, leav-
ing residents wondering if they own
land down to the current waterline or
to the waterline that existed when
they bought their property.
The Ridgeway group is suing the
Schade View residents for $1.5 million
for erosion damage to the Ridgeway
shoreline after their neighbors had
four steel groynes built infront of
their own subdivision last sununer in
an attempt to halt serious erosion. 1
The fill ordered by Catzman was
estimated to cost about 643,000 to be
paid for by the Schade View residents.
Grand Bend contractor Doug Jen-
nison, who is in charge of the work of
dumping the sand the gravel, said he
didn't know how much the entire pro-
ject would cost in view *of the extra
work required in building the access
road, nor did he know when the work
would be completed.
