Claire Scaldwell, second vice - South beach members get harbour information At a meeting held at the municipal building on Friday, August 31 the South Beach Association and the Harbour Committee agreed to com- municate better in the future. Before the harbour guests arrived, the association held their election of officers for the next two-year term. The new president is John Newbery, past president Lorne Luney, 1st vice presi- dent Len Gibson, 2nd vice Mery Sharpe and the secretary -treasurer is Claire Scaldwell. Chairman of the Harbour committee, Tom Lawson, gave the association members a detailed update on the current development at the harbour. The reason for work being rushed, Lawson explained, is the timing, so that it will be finished before winter sets in. The steel sheeting should be complete in the next two or three months. Earl Douglas, from Public Works, attended with sket- ches of the new docks, walkway and breakwall. One concerned member asked Douglas if there was any chance of Grand Bend being left with half a marina. Douglas smiled and answered "I can't answer that because there is an election next week." Lawson added that the fishing industry here will not be neglected and that the financial assistance to the village should almost double from transient boaters. Jean Gibson read part of a letter from Ralph Ferguson, about the erosion problems along the south pier. Douglas and Lawson explained that local residents should obtain hack what's lost because of the steel pilings being added to the inlet. Finally, the two groups will communicate better in the future by obtaining minutes from the town clerk Diane Mollard for all meetings, as many of the association members do not live here all year round. President John Newbery plans to send one of the members to monthly har- bour meetings for updates on their walkway, parking pro- blems, lighting and property interests.
