Zurich Citizens News, 1976-07-14, Page 15Parasailers in
business again
The parasailers in Grand Bend
were grounded last week, but
only temporarily. They were
ordered by council to• end their
flights Tuesday morning, which
they did, but were back in opera-
tion by the weekend.
It seems Grand Bend council
had placed several stipulations
on their consent to allow Caribe
Enterprises to operate off the
main beach area giving parasail
rides to those adventurous
enough to pay the $10 fee to try
it. One of the main stipulations
was the parasailers would not be
allowed to land or take off from
the main beach. They would have
to use a raft at least 500 feet from
the shore and their boats were
not to come closer than 500 feet
from shore.
Somehow, Caribe Enterprises
managed to overlook the exact
terms of the agreement and were
in fact using the main beach as
a landing and take off area,
much to the annoyance of many
sunbathers.
This was brought to the atten-
tion of council who immediately
contacted Caribe's lawyer and
informed him .verbally and in
writing that there was to be no
more para -sailing until such time
Mosquito
control
If you have a mosquito problem
in your backyard, there are sever-
al steps you can take to rid
yourselves of these aggravating
insects, says Ontario Ministry
of Agriculture and Food horticul-
turist J.K. Hughes.
Mosquitos breed and develop
in still water. Therefore to cut
down on their numbers you
should eliminate all standing
water in your yard, change the
water in bird baths and wading
pools every week, clean out clog-
ged eavestroughs and drainage
ditches, and empty and dispose
of old tires, paint cans and buck-
ets.
In the daytime, these pesky
insects like to hide in dark, pro-
tected spots, such as shrubbery,
high grass and other vegetation.
By regularly mowing the weeds
and grass, trimming hedges and
removing unnecessary shrubs
and trees, you can reduce the
mosquito problem significantly.
For any mosquitoes that man-
age to get inside the house
despite screens on the doors and
windows, dichlorvos strips will
provide excellent control, as will
mosquito coils or insecticides in
aerosol cans.
To avoid getting badly bitten,
wear covering clothing such as
longsleeved shirts, light jackets,
slacks and socks. Mr. Hughes
points out that lighter clothing
is less attractive to mosquitoes
than dark.
There are several good repel-
lents available which contain
diethyltoluamide; these will
provide adequate protection if
used properly, says Mr. Hughes,
but he advises you read the label
carefully when buying one.
Repellents should be applied
thinly but evenly over all exposed
skin. If you are exercising
heavily, you will probably need to
use more frequent applications.
Mr. Hughes warns that repell-
ents are solvent of plastics and
can damage eyeglass frames,
watch crystals and synthetic
fabrics such as nylon.
The X-ray devices some
airlines use on luggage may
not be good for your camera
film, so pack your film with
your , hand luggage and tell
the airline people where it is.
as they were willing to fulfill
all the agreements council had
asked for.
So, as of Tuesday afternoon,
there was no para -sailing. How-
ever, it turns out the company
was waiting for the completion
of the raft they were to anchor
offshore and as the raft was coin-
pleted by the end of the week,
rides resumed again. Only now
instead of having a lot of beach
to land on, riders must land on
and take off from the raft anchor-
ed 500 feet from shore. The raft
is towed into position in the morn-
ing and towed back every even-
ing. Caribe Enterprises assures
riders they can take them up and
set them down without getting
them wet, but whether that can
be done regularly remains to be
seen.
