ouncil wants
aggressive policing
By Katherine Harding

GRAND BEND — Council wants the police to crack
down on problem visitors to their village.
"We want to get the message out that we want the
OPP to aggressively see to the protection of the- busi-
nesses and legitimate citizens in the village," said
Coun. Bob Mann. "We have to get the message out we
are not helpless." •
Councillors were responding to a memo sent to them
by village administrator Paul Turnball who had met
with an upset 'business owner who wants council's
help.
Turnball wrote the owner of the Village Green mini
golf Isla Johnsonis "fearful of her own safety in the
late evening" and on three occasions has called the
OPP to come by her business. •
She advised Turnball items from her mini golf have
been stolen three times already this summer and last
week her building was broken into.
She is also tired of teenagers congregating along her
fence. Johnson feels their foul language is intimidating
her customers.
"We are trying to change the image of the village Id
attract families put how are are going to get them to go
down and p1 y Goofy golf if they have to listen to that
type of language -- they won't want to come back,"
said Coun. Brian Knights. "How can we support busi-
nesses in their hour of frustration?"
This isn't just a Grand Bend issue -- it's society,"
said Mayor Cam Ivey. "Police presence isn't the issue."
Council passed a resolution to set up a meeting
immediately with Grand Bend OPP Sargent Larry
Parks and North Lambton OPP Staff Sargent Charlie
Bouwman to discuss the idea of "aggressive" policing
in the village.
"We need a damn good discussion on how our money
is being spent," said Coun. Shirley Andraza.
While Mayor Cam Ivey agrees the meeting is neces-
sary, he thinks there is a• bigger issue with the 'small
number of police stationed in the village.
"If we don't get a county -wide contract there are
going to be problems," he said.
"Right now we are getting a level of service based on
provincial standards -- we need a county contract," he
said. "If we want enhanced service we need to go to a
contract."

BAYFIELD — The contentious issue of where to
house the municipal office for the proposed
Municipality of Bluewater was laid to rest last
Thursday -- for a while, anyway.
Last week's meeting in Bayfield began with discus-
sion of a letter from Hay Township council which stat-
ed the township will not •sign the amalgamation deal
with Zurich, Hensall, Stanley and Bayfield unless the
group decides to allow a transition board to decide
where the new municipality's offices will be located.
The current committee has already decided the office
will be at the Stanley TownshipComplex, but Hay has
argued against it all along and says a transition board
should investigate the matter further.
While the committee eventually caved to Hay's
