Deputy Reeve, Harold Green, insisted that the building was being used for human habitation, that the roof was above ground level ( the top of the bank) and that the television antenna in- dicated that the building was more than a utility shed. Nader said that all he wanted was a sewer hook-up for toilet and shower Concerts are coming soon Ted Jackson and Dawn Crabe of the Grand Bend Con- cert Association recently at- tended a Youth and Music Conference at the Orford Arts Center in Quebec. Sponsors from the Bayfield Youth & Music Center attend- ed a meeting in Grand Bend this week to hear a report on the conference. Audience development and advertising were the main topics discuss- ed. The possibility of addi- tional concerts in 1984 for On- tario's bicentennial year, and in 1985 as a result of Canada hosting the Youth and Music World Congress was of special interest. Recitals by talented young musicians was an important part of the Quebec conference as well. Some of the ensembles for next year's series will be chosen from this showcase. Subscribers to the 1983-84 series will be able to use their tickets for the Bayfield, Strathroy, or Petrolia Youth and Music concerts if one is missed in Grand Bend. The Tapestry Singers will launch the series on Wednes- day October 19 in Grand Bend and October 18 in Bayfield. A member of the Tapestry Singers. Lynn Mouthot, is ap- pearing at Huron Country Playhouse, as a member of the chorus, in South Pacific. In an interview last week, she explained that the Tapestry Singers is a group formed by members of the Toronto bas- ed Festival Singers. facilities. When he was denied sewer facilities, he installed a chemical toilet and a charcoal filter to the shower system which drains directly into the river. Then there was the problem of illegal parking above the building on $1 Crescent. Nader said he had made sure that there was legal parking beside the fence above his property. Reeve Bob Sharen said that Nader's "total disregard by you and your guests of village property is appalling." On it raged until Sharen told everyone to "shut up" and Nader to leave. Councillor Murray DesJar- dins said he didn't care what Nader was using the building for — that he would vote to give him sewage facilities if Nader respected the parking regulations. Councillor Woodley suggested that park- ing violators should have their cars towed away. Nader agreed to this approach. Sharen and Green said this would not solve the problem. Nader finally left the meeting under protest. There was considerable discussion about renovations to the old Post Office building. Woodley expressed his con- cern about rising costs. Coun- cillor Dennis Snider said he felt that they should do a good job on finishing the building and forget about any other capital expenditures for a while. The building is ex- pected to be completed in two to three months at a• cost of about $70,000. In other business, Woodley brought up the problems with noise in the village over the holiday weekend and most councillors agreed that by- law enforcement and a by-law 'enforcement officer were WINS JACKPOT At the last Legion Bingo of the season, held Sept. 1 the jackpot of $95.00 was won by rnga Bolek of Grand Cove.

They will hold a special meeting next Monday to consider the question. Sharen reported ongoing dialogue with Natural Resources at provincial parks, The Ministry of the En- vironment and the Ministry of Tourism and Industry to solve the problem leading to pollu- tion of the lake in beach areas. • Snider reported that the I'm glad my husband doesn't smoke. It's unhealthy, it's a smelly, dirty habit, and the smoke is unpleasant. But more than that I'm thankful he doesn't smoke because of the fire hazard. You see, Victor does have one bad habit. (Actually there are probably more, but I won't go into all of them here.) He is addicted to popsicles. When a non-smoker shares a house with a smoker, she or he is constantly dumping ash trays or picking up cigarette butts in the yard. When you live with a popsicle addict, you are always peeling sticky wooden sticks off a magazine . covers or scraping them from the arms of lawn chairs. You are always finding sticky paper wrappers on the coffee table. There are wrappers and sticks in the car and under the seat of the boat. There is no hiding the evidence of a popsicle addict. My husband can sometimes be found chewing on a wooden popsicle stick. That usually. means that there are no pop: sicles in the freezer. I buy his popsicles by the case. Fortunately for me (the -one who does the grocery shopping) he's not particular about the flavour or colour of his popsicles. You usually gel an assortment if you bay by the case. Green, orange and red are the basics, but occa- sionally you find a purple. Sometimes, Victor has been known to buy his own pop- sicles - he has even found them in red, white and blue 4 DIFFERENT BANDS BIG TENT GERMAN FOOD NOVELTY BOOTH Held Under Authority OI An L.L.B.O.

Sharen referred the idea back to Harbour cmmittee members Green and Woodley. ' DesJardins reported that the committee for adult hous- ing met to look at seven building sites and that from Mary's musings By Mary Alderson stripes. You may think that sum- mer's • nearly over, and I won't have to worry about his addiction when the cooler weather arrives. Wrong. Pop- sicle addiction is a year round problem. Victor has been known to come home from playing hockey and sit down with a popsicle. He usually breaks -the pop- sicle in two, but then he eats both halves in one sitting. I'm waiting for the day when he puts the other half in his back pocket and forgets about it until it melts. But it's at bedtime that I'm truly thankful he's a popsicle addict and not a cigarette smoker. I usually go to bed with a good paperback and read for half hour before I go to sleep. Victor's apt to bring the newspaper to bed with him. Soon I'll hear the rattl- ing of paper as he unwraps a popsicle. Eating popsicles in bed may not be as bad as crun- ching on crumbly crackers, but if the person with the pop- sicle is tired, it can present some problems. • Like the other morning, when Victor woke up with the newspaper stuck to his hand which in turn was stuck to the bed sheet. Ile was still clut- ching the wooden popsicle stick. Alt over him was a sticky orange mess. He had fallen asleep while eating a popsicle and reading the paper. Now do you understand why I'm thankful he doesn't smoke?
