Clinton News-Record, 1974-09-05, Page 8Curve causes two accidents. Residents of Bayfield are more convinced than ever that a flashing amber light is needed at the curve on Highway 21 at Clan Gregor Square, Last weekend in two separate accidents, three vehicles left the curve and three persons were injured, Here a large truck lies wedged against a tree, Earlier this year, the Ontario ministry of transportation and communications said a light wasn't needed.

At a corner that the Village is told is not dangerous and does not warrant a warning light, two separate mishaps occurred. Around 1 a.m., three motor- cyclists missed le curve and were taken by ambulances to nearby hospitals. About 7:15 a.m. a tractor-trailer loaded with cement tile belonging to Nu-Rock Concrete Products of Thamesville and driven by Gerard Van' Sas also of Thamesville, failed to negotiate the same curve and ended up lodged against a maple tree in Clan Gregor •Square. Two wreckers_were called in, but were unable- to dislodge the vehicle. In conversation with the driver, he said' he hoped he never saw that' curve again, and termed it :treacherous and dangerous. He had never been through Hayfield before and said he hoped he'd never have to make the run again. He was shaken up and had a bruised arm but miraculously he was not seriously injured. The cab of the truck was up against the tree on the driver's side and the loaded trailer was jammed against the door on the passenger side. Mr. Van Sas had to crawl out through the windshield opening. The wind- shield had popped out upon im- pact. Anyone who does not believe that this is a dangerous curve, should inquire of the residents who live around the curve.

The problem of lakeshore erosion is complex and frustrating and solutions are expensive. From an ecological perspective the lakeshore is an area that is fragile and in a state of constant change. It is also a very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing area, and a great deal of recreational development has, taken place along the shoreline. Most people do not realize how fragile the lakeshore area is, and in trying to locate a seasonal home as close to the shoreline as possible, encounter problems of erosion, slumping and geneally unstable con- ditions. The problems created by lakeshore erosion are complex, as the' lakeshore is an area where two large systems - land and water - merge. Therefore, in an attempt to solve problems created by lakeshore erosion, we have to understand the components of the ecological system that is the lakeshore such as lake levels, wave ac- tion, winds, soils, beach deposition and movement, and even ice action, To try to halt lakeshore erosion without taking into account these and many other faCtors will usually end in failure, frustratisan, or an unfavorable re-action. To investigate all the factors at work in the lakeshore system requires qualified people from many resource fields and this can be an expensive procedure. That is why experts advise that people concerned with lakeshore erosion work together to combat the problem on a large scale. Many lakeshore property owners have solved their problems by moving their cot- tages. This is often a last hope for many, and for others im- possible, due to the size and construction of theitesidences. The objectiveWit of the Lakeshore ErosiolP Seminar being sponsored by the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority in Grand Bend Public School are to provide lakeshore property owners with information on: the causes and background of lakeshore erosion; possible solutions to lakeshore erosion; necessary in- formation on exactly what to do if they have a lakeshore erosion problem. To accomplish these objec- tives the Authority has arranged for expert speakers from a variety of resource fields to attend and speak on dif- . ferent aspects of the problem, An interesting visual program will also be provided. Commencing at .10 a.m. the program will include: Professor Don Clough from University of Waterloo, speaking on "Forces at Work on the Lakeshore System", a representative from the Canada Centre for Inland Waters speaking on the fluc- tuation of Great Lakes water levels; a representative from an engineering consulting com- pany speaking on possible solutions to the problem; a panel from the ministry of natural resources speaking on how to approach your personal lakeshore erosion problem. The program will finish at 4:00 p.m. The Seminar is free of charge, open to anyone in- terested, and will be held on September 7, at Grand Bend Public School, Grand Bend.
