"We feel it appropriate for the new council to review our work al- ready done and to take any future di- rection from the council," said James. James said Dillon has looked at a number of things in Grand Bend,. including all new developments in town. In the last 24 months Grand Bend has faced 15 new develop- ments and James said that was quite remarkable for a place as small as. Grand Bend James also discussed the future widening of the Highway 81 and 21 intersection to include a right turn lane on Highway 81. Council later passed a motion to allow the con- struction to begin in May after the Victoria Day weekend with the specification it must be completed by the first weekend in July. Steve McMinn, also of Dillon's, discussed what the proposed devel- opment at Southcott Seven Acres would have on the lagoon system, with tyle increase in housing units. McMinn said if growth in the vil- lage continues at the current rate of six percent, the lagoon would reach its capacity in 1993 or 1994. But the proposed development would de- crease the capacity of the lagoon so much that it would reach capacity next year or the year after. He told council they should think about getting on with the process of .expanding the lagoon system now, because 20 percent must re-' main allocated to Stephen Town- ship under the' present sysytem. McMinn also said council should also look into setting up a mechan- ical sewage treatment plant because it could handle large future develop- ment that might happen in the vil- lage. �3 ritj"l `` 10err` WINTER SALE Poly/wool knit collection 25% off Limited Editions 30% off Jewel -Box -Knit Collection 30% off Cotton/Poly Knits 50% off Winter Jewellery 1/2 price!

Carrie Regier, left and Rebecca Bedour, are about to take the plunge, while Darryl Regier and Michael Regi- er already did, Pinery open in winter By Roberta Walker GRAND BEND - This is sup- posed to be winter, yet you can still go hiking in the Pinery Park! A valiant few have tried cross country skiing in so little snow, but the Park may as well open the gates so the public can at least en- joy the trails all through this open winter. Large sections of the Park arc usually closed to traffic in win- ter, limiting access to most of the hiking trails, which would usually be dangerous in a snowy winter, and protecting the snow for skiers. If- weather continues this mild, one wonders where they are going to get the snow for the Winter Car- nival Snow Sculpture Contest? Last years chairman Dave Shepherd managed to conjure up enough snow, but this year it looks as if even that master magician David Copperfield would have trouble. In the meantime, preparations continue on all of the other events scheduled over the first two week- ends in February as time grows short. Good luck to the organizers and everyone wish for a few good snowfalls by February 4. The sympathy of the community is extended to the family and grand- children of Mrs. Laird (Pearl Hen- dricks, a former Grand Bend resi- dent, who passed away at South Huron Hospital on January 8, 1989. The funeral service was held from T. Harry Hoffman Funeral Home with interment at Emmanu- al United Church Cemetery, Zurich. on January 11.

Bertie Keyes opened with a wor- ship service recounting her trip to the Holy Land of Israel, in March , 1988. She flew from Montreal to Tel Aviv for a two week vacation. Israel has 4 1/2 million Jews and 1 1/2 million Palestinians.

In Bethany she saw the home of Mary, Martha and Lazaru; on to the Rcd Sea (so named because of its red rocks); the Wailing Wall, and the Dcad Sea, lowest point below sea level on earth. Some of Keyes personal ex- periences included a stroll along the Mediterranean Sca, being bap- tized in the Jordan River, a swim in the salty Dcad Sca and of course, lots of sight seeing and shopping. While Keyek gave her travel -log, she passed around photographs and viewing cards of places she had visited, so the audience could expe- rience the trip with her. golrdeii Glimpses ZURICH - Now that we arc past the middle of January and the days are noticeably longer, it seems to help dispense +qf some of the gloomy days.
