Council discussion turns into shouting
What was intended to be a
discussion between Grand
Bend council and Joseph
Nader to settle differences
over the use of Nader's
building on the river ended in
a shouting match and Nader
being asked to leave the
meeting Tuesday night.
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

Tourism and Industry to solve
the problem leading to pollu-

areas.

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

habour building was official-
ly closed Monday and sug-
gested that the pump -out unit

Sharen referred the idea back
to Harbour cmmittee

Woodley. '

ing met to look at seven

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?
