The :T t wl =bevon > et frillbettlut your opinion on various issues. Marie Tleman Exeter "As far as I'm concemed I feel sorry for the police force. Their hands are tied. Society wants so many rights and not everyone can have them at the same time." t Hugh Connon Exeter "There Is racism every- where in the world. The problems caused are due to economic rea- sons and overpopula- tion.. North America Is overpopulated and this causes stress between different groups." Brian Topp Ailsa Craig "Where do you draw the line between police force and police brutali- ty? Regardless of whether King was black or white do you want (those officers) defend- ing you? Police power should be kept in check." Cindy Forrest Exeter "I don't see racism here in Exeter. Definitely in Toronto. In L.A. those policemen shouldn't have gotten off. It's too bad about the destruc- tion in Toronto. It got out of hand." Jay Alblas Exeter "I think racial problems exist everywhere. It just comes out more (in the police force) be- cause they are more in the public eye. There were no blacks in King's jury. It's in the whole system."

Dave Best Grand Bend restaurant receives over $15,000 rebate GRAND BEND - In an effort to save thousands of dollars on elec- tricity bills, Dave Best has come up with a cost efficiency program which neued him a $15,494 rebate from Ontario Hydro. The owner of Best's Restaurant in Grand Bend was paying up to 57000 a month for hydro in the summer and in the slower winter months was reaching $2,000. So he decided to set up a heat recovery system which would take wasted energy coming off of a pair of food storage units and redirect the energy to heat the rest of the building. "Because of the building we didn't have enough cooling and enough heating," said Best who did most of the electrical and refrigeration work himself. Best said it was part of Ontario Ilydro's incentive program but it took a while for them to notice his work. "We put numerous packages together and it took six months before it was approved." Heals() put in propane heating which acts as a backup system and raises the temperature indoors when it gets cold outside. Best said he draws a lot of electricity with not only the restaurant but the Ice making plant, the Ice Cream Manufacturing plant and the car wash and Laundromat. Pioneer Days Emil Hendrick was on hand at Huron Centennial on Thursday to explain to the students the process of making maple sugar for their pioneer days.

No sidewalks for subdivision GRAND BEND- A new subdivi- sion located partially in both Ste- phen Township and Grand Bend will not have 'sidewalks when it is completed. Through a compromise, Green Forest Estates will include water - meters into its 38 units, pay for street lighting but in return, side- walks will not have to be construct- ed. Although it was agreed upon, there was some concern and discus- sion Monday night by members of the Grand Bend Council. "Our standard development agreement is you have to have side- walks. They've [Green Forest], re- verted to the Stephen Township agreement," said deputy -mayor Cam Ivey. He added he had no problem with the compromise agreement. "If people want sidewalks down the road, they can petition council later." Dennis Brolese, representing Green Forest also brought forward the notion of cost sharing between Grand Bend, the developer and Ste- phen Township for pavement.. curbs and gutters, sidewalks and street lighting. He suggested Grand Bend pay $45,500, the developer, $27,00C and the township, $18,000. "There's obvious savings to the developer but there are savings tc Grand Bend," said Brolese. However, he admitted he had not approached Stephen Township with this particular proposal. Brolese also added that Grand Bend is al- ready planning to do work in the area anyway. Council decided to get input from a county planner and would meet with Green Forest Estates represen- tatives on Monday during their planning meeting.
