"It's a matter of setting a stan- dard, what is exceptable," said Uni- ac. He refereed to the November walking tour attended by council, the village's summer police chief,' SgL Lorne Smith, and membtrreof the local parking and law enforce- ment committee. Uniac said during that walk, Smith had told him some of the de- terrents were not a problem. "Just keep them off the road al- lowance so they can park a car," said councillor Cam Ivey. The reason most people in Grand Bend put the barriers on the road allowance is to stop visitors to the village from parking in front of their houses. Parking is, and has always been, a problem in the village, especially during the long summer holiday weekends. Vo l leyb a l l centre being proposed GRAND BEND - No doubt one of the most popular .activities in this resort =insanity during the hot summer months, is beach vol- leyball. Throughout the summer there are numerous tournaments and that has prompted the village to look into the possibility of having what they call a Volleyball Centre. "We've had a number of tourna- ments and they've always been clean cut," said Grand Bend Mayor Tom Lawson who brought the idea to his council last Tuesday. The tournaments provide a lot of entertainment, the large crowds have not been a problem in the past and they generate a lot of local business. Lawson and council decided to send the idea to the village's Park and Recreation Committee for fur- ther consideration.

Representatives from around Huron County came to Graham's retirement party Apri117. Clerk -treasurer wraps up 31 years of service By Catherine O'Brien T -A staff VARNA - Friends and associates of Mel Graham filled the Township of Stanley Community Complex to capacity on April 17, as they at- tended his retirement party. After 31 years service as clerk - treasurer and tax collector, Graham decided it was time to devote mom attention to his grandchildren, hob- bies and 150 acres of land. He an- nounced his retirement in Novem- ber 1992. Since then he has been prepar- ing for his last official day on April 31. The retirement party gave mem- bers of county governments, along with family and friends a chance to express their appreciation for his years of service. Graham and his wife Betty, were presented with a number of gifts and plaques from representatives throughout the county including Stanley township reeve Howard Armstrong, MPP Paul Klopp, and old time friend Elmer Hayter. Hayter was on council with Gra- ham from 1960 through 1972. He recalled one of the first meetings in the old town hall which had an old smokey woodstove. "The smoke in . the building was so bad one day, you could hardly see. Mel made a :motion for a furnace and I second- ed it." He joked that motions were easier to pass back then. Graham began his career in Stan- ley township fust as a councillor. He served on council for 28 months before taking the position of clerk - treasurer. "I thought the job would be chal- lenging," he said of his decision to jump from .councillor to clerk - treasurer. Since then O sham has worked with eight reeves, 21 council mem- bers, Ane assessor and one county assessor. .in an interview earlier, Graham discussed the changes and the achievements he has seen. The largest single project, Gra- ham felt, was the installation of the water pipeline along Highway 21. 1 \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\A\\\\%\\\AAAA\`\\�\\\\\\\\l1\\\\\\\ A\\\\\\\rI Huron County Agricultural Awarness Committee j LL • i WISHES TO THANK Mice or Huron 0 Carl Bolton John Bancroft Ontario Cattlemen's Association Neil Dolmag Ken Flanagan Gerock Fanns Monoway Farm: Whispering Broo Huron County Pork Association KenPal Farm Produ Quality Swine Co-op Grand Valley Fortifiers Weannan Meats Ontario Pork Producers Donald Dearing Martha Van Dieten Florence Pullen Huron County Milk Committee Huron County Cream Committee Perth County Cream Committee Seaforth Veterinary Clinic Hensall District Co-op, Seaforth Branch Wayne Hoegy Gerben Wynja Swan Stecklc Elligsen Electric Charles & Carol Ann Regele Farm Bob Batty Topnotch Feeds (Brussels) John McKichan Dennis Martin Hank Binnendyk Huron Dairy Systems Anna Dolmage Hayter Poultry Farm Tom and Eillen Malone Ed Mostered Mary Jane Greidanus Jim and Brenda McIntosh Patsy Crowley Milton J.
