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.
