its appreciation
GRAND BEND - It was an ex-
traordinary day for an extraordi-
nary group of people.
On Saturday, the Grand Bend
Council hosted an Appreciation
Day for the many volunteers who
donated their time and effort over
the past year.
''We had a good cross-section of
participation. It was a good start,"
said organizer councillor Bill Uni-
ac.'He said there were several dif-
ferent groups represented and he
hopes this event will run again next
year. .
Volunteer Appreciation Day
capped off an entire day in which
the village recognized those who
help the community be a better
Tire to live.
There was a barbeque, corn roast,
entertainment, volleyball games
and a dunk tank.
"It was so fitting it (the com) was
picked by volunteers in the morn-
ing," said Uniac.
Although all volunteers were rec-
ognized, a special plaque was pre-
sented to .Harold Klopp who was
named the 'Volunteer of the Year.'
Serving up the delicious corn at the Grand Bend Appreciation
Day on Saturday was organizer councillor Bill Uniac.
Town loses out on
unconditional grants

EXETER - Tite►IAttot
paid its monthly -fit tairSiNer
since June.
Like other Ontario municipali-
ties, transfer payments from the
province, called unconditional
grants, are being cut beck. A letter
from the Ministry of Municipal Af-
fairs dated August 24 notified Exet-
er there would be no August pay-
ment.
"They've missed two now," said
clerk -treasurer Liz Bell, who ex-
plained the first grant payment was
hold back under the province's ex-
penditure control plan, the second
was for the Social Contract.
Councillor Bob Spears asked
how much the grant shortfall added
up to.
Bell said she could only guess,
butsaid it was likely about
$ 100.000".
Spears asked if the town wuukl
be needing to borrow funds to pay
its bills in the interim, but Bell said
finances are still being supported
by budgeted taxes.
A couple of the councillors jok-
ingly commented about wishing the
province was able to pay its debts
as well.
