Times Advocate, 1984-09-26, Page 12Want modifications to reduce complaints
Groups discuss Burgerfest with view to chang�s
Burgerfest will continue to
be held as long as some
modification is taken.
At a regular meeting of the
planning board, Tuesday, a
lengthy discussion about the
happenings at Burgerfest '84
took place in the village
chambers. Members from the
Chamber of Commerce were
invited and all nine members
of the planning committee
were present.
Chamber president Gene
Grenier addressed the
meeting and continued with
his plans for Burgerfest '85.
There will be the usual bed
and waiter races and beauty
contest, with a slight reduc-
tion in advertising from '84,
he said. The beer tent will be
in the same location as there
is a large investment in the
fence and electrical panel,
provided by the Chamber.
Bruce Woodley told the
group that this year there
were a larger number of com-
plaints with letters to back
them up. Reeve Bob Sharen
quickly assured everyone that
they were not against
Burgerfest, as it's a good
money raiser for the village;
but "we want to stress some
modification".
Ed lskauskas asked why
the chamber was so opposed
to moving the beer tent to
another location! It was sug-
gested that a large area of
land in Stephen north of the
village, (night be rented for
the three-day event. Nick
Carter. advertising and pro-
motion chairman for the
chamber, answered
Iskauskas, that they didn't
want to tamper with
something successful.
Mel Douglas, chamber
member, confessed that he
hasn't cared about Burgerfest
for years. although he hasn't
complained, because it brings
in a lot of revenue. He advises
his clientelle to book their
stay fora less noisy time. Itis
Lakeview accommodations
are located east of Gov't Rd.
almostacross from where the
beer tent is located on the
beach.
"Would it be possible to
tone down the music to
something of a mixed varie-
ty?" asked Doreen Seguin''
Grenier replied that they plan
to rent the new Legion for
dancing to a hand for an older
crowd.
The meeting adjourned
with an agreement for all to
get together to make
Burgerfest '85 a better one for
everyone concerned. keeping
in mind about leaving a good
image for Grand Bend.
Remember its only one
weekend out of the whole
season! People do have a
choice and as Grenier ex-
plained the chamber is pro-
viding some good ones.
Present petition
At the Grand Bend council
meeting last Monday night,
councillor Bruce Woodley
presented a petition with over
100 natnes requesting access
to the main beach area for the
boating public.
Joe Nader, PLA member
attending the meeting, told
council that boaters feel like
second class citizens who are
unable to enjoy the main
beach. Many boaters need a
place for their children to
swim close to shore. He went
on to say that the last 200 feet
at the north end of the main
beach could be used as this
area is used less by
sunbathers.
"People in boats spend a lot
of money in Grand Bend and
also prolong the season in our
village." Nader commented.
Reeve Bob Sharen said they
would make a decision and
went on to say that wind -
surfers have an area cleared
for thein and are just as
dangerous to the public.
Council will deal with both
issues separately.
Plans to pave River Road
this fall were changed to have
Gov't Rd. done instead.
Village foreman Jack
Stanlake informed council
that it would be better to pave
River Road after the harbour
work was completed, not
before. Stanlake will obtain
prices from Lavis Contrac-
tors. The project is included
in this year's budget. .

he discouraged in returning to
Grand Bend for the same
reason.
In another letter from the
Township of Stephen. they
agreed to help purchase a
new tanker for the GB fire
department, if they could
share the cost. Sharen said
that Bosanquet Twp. do not
want to share any of the cost.
