They will set up a temporary laboratory somewhere in the village. Sharen suggested the village provide water and sewer hook-ups for a modular unit beside the Public Works building to the east of the new fire hall. He said that the crew would do extensive water testing of four area beaches, one of which would be on a beach remote from a river system, to determine the amount or lack of the amount of pollution caused by run-off from farm land in the watershed of the Ausable River. The group would test during and after rain storms at various areas in the watershed, to follow through on the theory of pollution from farm land. All village storm drains would be under close scrutiny. The village has passed a bylaw stating that there may be a fine of up to $1,000 to owners of animals found on the beach. Councillors have been a little worried as to how to prohibit skunks,.raccoons, wild cats and gulls However, there has been an effort to try to educate the public about the importance of refraining from feeding wild creatures and the importance of using garbage containers instead of leaving left -over food and food containers on the beach and on the streets. Clerk Dianne Mollard, reported that under a grant program, the village has been assured two students to be employed as by-law enforce- ment officers for the summer. They will be empowered to enforce anti -noise by-laws and parking by-laws. Council will review previously planned parking by-laws, which essentially prohibit parking on the back streets on paved portjons of roads, and, when revised, will put a time limit to parking on Main Street. Sharen has sug- gested a tourist map which would show alternate parking places away from the back streets and Main Street. Councillor Dennis Snider reported that he had received a number of enquiries from persons outside of the village about boundary adjustments which would change the village boundaries to include • homeowners from neighbor- ing townships. He requested that council consider an open meeting to get opinions and air questions from interested persons in Stephen and Bosanquel Township and from ratepayers in the village pro- per. His wish was to have an open forum early in the spring. New councillor Doreen Seguin, said that there was progress by the committee working on seniors' housing for Grand Bend. "It's going ahead, but there's a lot of paper work," she said. The group is looking at land sites which would accommodate 25 seniors in apartment -sized units. Seguin is a member or the committee of tive area residents, headed by the Rev. Jim Sutton. The project was spearheaded by former coun- cillor, Murray DesJardins. Deputy -Reeve Harold Green reported the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority had received enough money to complete four projects in Grand Bend to deal with erosion along banks of the Ausable and in the Walker Drain area. Lan - Pine trees for Bicentennial Grand Bend bicentennial chairperson, Bev Harwood, has announced that 50 white pine trees from five to ten feet high will be planted to mark Ontario's bicentennial celebration. A planting ceremony is be- ing arranged on April 12 in the village. The Hon. Lorne Henderson and a represen- tative of the Ministry of Natural Resources for On- tario will be present as well as two students from each of the three area elementary schools, Grand Bend, Mount Carmel and Stephen Central. Children will represent pioneers of the area. For those who are fortunate enough to live in the pinery area around Grand Bend, the white pine is a particularly appropriate symbol. The knotty -pine panelling, which became to popular 20 years ago, the old pine fur- niture now sought by antique buffs and the new pine fur- niture, made to look like the old, all owe their existence to white pine trees. White pine was easy to find, easy to mill, and, was the strongest and straightest tree for the masts of sailing ships. Inspite of the fact that the area was "timbered out" in the last century, mostly for the white pine, the tree has survived, as a banner for the indigenous ecology of the area. In 1984, residents of the Grand Bend area can see white pine trees, in a natural setting, which range from six inches high to 60 feet, adding their unique beauty to the landscape. Grand Bend's bicentennial planting will add trees around the village in spots where they can be most enjoyed by citizens and visitors. A second project planned is a history of the pioneers of the Grand Bend area. The history is being compiled by Pat Ven - tun of Southcott Pines. downers, who properties are adjacent to water must pay part of the cot to correct ero- sion problems. There was some discussion about the Gaiser-Kneal pro- perty on 81 Crescent Road. Kneal has objected to cost. Council suggested that the problem was caused by the fill put into the site by the G- K firm when the office was re- built on 81 Crescent some years ago. Councillor Bruce Woodley once again, commented on the problems caused by the annual Burgerfest weekend to cottage owners along the north beach area. Both Snider and Sharen suggested that so- meone think of an alternative way in which the Grand Bend and area Chamber of com- merce could find a way to raise funds for the work the group does in promoting the industry of the village as a tourist resort in the summer. Corporal Mike Beacock new head of the Pinery Pro- vincial Police department, came to the meeting to meet members of council. He said he was pleased to come to the meeting to get to know in- dividuals on village council. It was learned that the sum- mer Grand Bend detachment Please turn to page 24 [. . IN T.S.

Bible Coffee Hour Sixteen ladies attended the Bible coffee hour at Mrs. Nita Sinclair's home in Southcott Pines, Tuesday morning January 31st. The meeting opened with prayer and a hymn sing. This was the last lesson in the study book of Peter 1 and 2, on "Letters to people in trouble." A summary and review of Peter 2 was led by Gwen Campbell. Questions discuss- ed were "What is a Christian view of history?" Some na- tions turn away from God. "What motivates a Chris- tian's way of life?" We should be alert and strive to be more like Jesus. In day of mass communica- tion and mass movements the Christian is more than ever subjected to widely varying influences and teachings. We must beware, as Peter warns, of the influence of false teachers within the framewnrtc of Christianity. Twisting the Scripture is not a new practice, but it is as dangerous and prevalent as when Peter wrote. Ann Ri&hardson closed with prayer. Next week we begin a new study book on "A woman's workshop on The Beatitudes, The Mark of a Christian." Meeting next week will be same place and time at 9:30 a.m. All ladies welcome.
