No. 21, 1 mile south of Main Intersection 8006 Grand Bend Times -Advocate, May 20, 1987 Pa 11 Highways resemble parking lots Roads leading into Grand Bend over the season's first holiday weekend resembled huge parking lots at times on Saturday and Sunday. The resort was inundated with a record number of Victoria Day weekend holidayers, while the near- by Pinery Park was also filled to capacity. • Traffic along Highway 21 and 81 in- to Grand Bend was backed up for a considerable distance on the weekend and many people finally ended up parking and walking up to three miles to get to the popular resort. Police report that the weekend was hectic for them as therewere a number of fights, incidents of drunkeness and other unsavory ac- tivities staged by the predominantly youthful crowd. - The Grand Bend OPP detachment report 185 occurrences, of which 107 were for liquor offences. There were six people charged with impaired driving and eight were given 12 -hour suspensions after Alert tests were conducted. There were two charged under the Narcotics Control Act and nine under the Criminal Code. While the number of charges and evictions from the Pinery and Ipper- wash provincial parks wasup over last year's first holiday weekend, the amount of destruction was curtailed tftgeRSENIANCEMMAPAWANAMIMitir significantly Ray Bonenberg reported. Bonenberg said,"the weekend went very well," and the -only reason that the number of charges increased was because the additional park staff stopped problems before they began. The number of charges issued at the Pinery was 200, while Ipperwash had 80. There were 85 evictions from the Pinery and 30 from Ipperwash. Bonenberg said, "it was unfor- tunate that it rained Monday." When it does rain, fewer . campers do a suitable clean up on their campsite, and more money must be spent in preparing the sites for the next weekend. Also, many campers tend to leave behind valuable equipment in these situations. VICTORIA DAY CLEAN-UP Last Monday the Grand Bend Girl Guides •and Cubs, leaders and some parents (not shown) gathered at the Pinery Provincial Park to clean up campsites.
