POLICE BRIEFS Deer collisions continue HURON – Up to the end of September, Huron OPP investigated 210 deer collisions, an increase of 90 over last year. October, November and December are the peak times for deer collisions due to rutting season and deer moving to winter-feeding areas. Most collisions occur on rural roads but some were in towns. The largest number of collisions occur at early morning light and at dusk. Always slow down when you see a deer as they often travel in groups. Be especially alert at deer crossing areas where bush is close to the road, where creeks, streams and rivers flow across under bridges and swampy locations. When driving at night, use high beams as much as possible to increase the visibility distance and watch for the reflection of light from the deer’s eyes. Never attempt extreme maneuvers to avoid a colli- sion with a deer. It’s safer to hit the deer than risk collision with another vehicle or trees and poles. Huron OPP ask the public to keep alert, drive safely and scan the roadway in front of you at all times. Grand Bend needs strategic plan:GGBCA By Sandra Forster TIMES-ADVOCATE STAFF GRAND BEND – Lambton Shores needs a long-term plan and the Greater Grand Bend Community Association (GGBCA) gave their two-cents worth. At the Oct. 10 regular meeting, 1st vice presi- dent David Bannister reported attending a Lambton Shores strategic plan meeting with presi- dent Stephanie Donaldson. A list of Grand Bend’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats included Hwy. 21 traffic congestion, water quanti- ty and quality, the need for a health care facility and a lack of job oppor- tunities. Bannister said Lambton Shores could use the expertise of its residents to form transportation, environment, harbour and economic develop- ment committees to report to council. Fund-raisers The GGBCA is the sponsoring agency for the Health Centre and Community Centre/Library fund-rais- ers. Donaldson hopes for a successful Evening of Elegance event. The 80 tickets sold out quickly and Lambton Shores will issue tax receipts. Board member Paul Bieman suggested a Pier Party, possibly with a 1950s-60s theme. Donaldson recommended another mid-winter Hawaiian Luau. A presentation by Dave Shepherd for a $2 mil- lion Hole-in-One compe- tition was turned down, due to the difficulty in finding 100 volunteers, sponsors and high-priced prizes. Donaldson reported the municipality could mow the corn maze planned for next summer and a night outing with flash- lights would be fun and well-received. Health Centre Bannister reported the health services commit- tee is still awaiting Ministry of Health approval for the new Health Centre. Former board member Roy Merkley is “cau- tiously optimistic” an announcement will be made soon. Bieman suggested an updated newsletter be sent with the new mem- bership cards, outlining progess on the health centre, community centre and upcoming events. The newsletters will be inserted at the GGBCA’s next meeting Nov. 14. Roll Up Your Sleeves Canada! BLOOD. IT’S IN YOU TO GIVE BLOOD DONOR CLINIC Mon.
