LEASE $0 No Charge Moonroof Pat Bolen TIMES ADVOCATE STAFF VARNA – Bluewater council has approved the criteria for road grants recommended by the Roads Committee which had been studying the issue. At council meeting Monday the motion was passed with the fol- lowing criteria: • the grant is available for roads created by plan of subdivision or by reference plan regardless of road ownership. • the road must be open for pub- lic use. • there must be a formal subdi- vision association. • the grant can be used for road maintenance or capital improve- ments which meet municipal specifications. • grants not used within a year will go into a reserve that must be used within three years. • the allotment is based on $1,900 per km. • the grant will be effective for eligible work done after Jan 1, 2003. Representing the Bluewater Shoreline Residents Association, Bob Carpenter stated the “criteria will have strong support along the shoreline.” Sergeant Bernie Miedema of the O.P.P. made a report to council on crime statistics in the Municipality of Bluewater for the months of August and September 2002. He also briefed them on the O.P.P. school liason programs intended to get officers into local schools and dealing with smaller issues before they become seri- ous. Sergeant Miedema’s last item to council was five new O.P.P. recruits have been added to the area in the last few months. The new recruits will replace retiring staff and bring the force up to locally mandated levels. Gayle Waters from The Little Inn of Bayfield-Willow Tree made a request to council to replace the bench around the 100 year old Willow tree in front of the Inn with a fence. The fence would extend out an extra foot around the tree to pro- tect its roots and has been approved by the Bayfield LACAC. After dealing with liability and encroachment issues, council approved the request. A motion was passed to endorse a St. Marys letter to the Ontario Provincial Government. The letter called on the government to repeal the Ontario Energy Board act allowing Union Gas to charge a retroactive fee enabling it to recover additional costs incurred in the winter of 2000/2001. It stated individual consumers will be charged an extra $120 under the new fee and asked other municipalities for their sup- port, which was agreed to by council. A second letter from the Township of Pickle Lake concern- ing new standards for personal fuel oil tanks, lines and stands was read requesting support from other municipalities. The township letter stated the regulations were brought in with- out consultation, and are overly restrictive. It went on to say unlike most new building regula- tions, they do not exempt existing structures from major renova- tions, and will cause expense and hardship to consumers. The request for support was agreed to by council.

Bass guitar player for the rock/punk band Popjoy, Burgess’s group played at Gar’s Bar Friday night. “I’ve been playing my whole life.” At age 3, Burgess pro- gressed from banging on pots and pans with his uncle’s drumsticks to a child’s drum set, then learned piano as a teen. Feeling pressured to become a famous drum- mer, he overcame his fear of change by teaching himself to play the guitar and starting his own band. He had always played by ear until Grade 12 when he had to study music theory for entry into the UWO music pro- gram. When the band’s last bass guitar player “bailed after the first prac- tise”, he bor- rowed a bass guitar and took to it “like a duck to water.” Now he also does song- writing and producing in his own stu- dio. “Rock music is my most natural kind of thing.” Popjoy Burgess says the dance/pop/rock/punk band chose the name Popjoy to reflect the mem- bers’ fun, happy and orig- inal characters. The rest of the band members are from London. Sarah Smith is the lead vocalist and plays rhythm guitar. Burgess jokes he and Smith are a “punk Barbie and Ken.” Izzy Bartok plays drums in an “off the wall, dancy” style. New member Mike McKyes plays lead guitar and is a back-up singer. Burgess says all mem- bers of the band are cre- ative equals, letting the music flow in an original, cool sound. Not happy to imitate artists, they add their powerful, energetic style as their own trademark on such songs as ‘Video Killed the Radio Star’ by the Buggles, ‘Abracadabra’ by the Steve Miller Band and ‘With or Without You’ by U2. New CD Burgess says he was forced to get technical, running the mixing board during performances and producing and engineer- ing Popjoy’s latest CD ‘Covers: Live!’. He gained valuable experience as musical director for a Dinah Christie chil- dren’s the- atre in Hanover and opening for April Wine in Windsor. Every year Burgess plays at the Friday the 13th bash in Port Dover. Popjoy is planning to return to Finland in the spring for a month-long tour. For now, they’re per- forming two or three shows a week within a three-hour radius of London. Popjoy will perform two sets of high-energy music at a Halloween bash Oct. 31 in London’s Victory Legion. Tickets are avail- able at the door and door prizes will be awarded for best costume. Justin Burgess of Crediton perform sPopjoy’s unique style. (photo/submitted) PPuummppkkiinnffeesstt
