Letters to the Editor
Mr. Dennis Snider
Candidate'for Reeve
Village of Grand Bend, Ontario
NOM ITO
Dear Mr. Snider.
On behalf of the Grand Bend Li-
ons Club, I have been asked to send
you this letter to hopefully correct
the misinformation that you con-
veyed at the All -Candidates meeting
held in.Grand Bend on October 30,
1988.
During this public meeting, your
response to a question concerning
the existing summer -time parking
problem in the village was that "it
would be your intent to convert a
portion of the existing athletic field
into a public parking lot".
Your statement prompted one of
the three Lions Club members in
attendance at this All -Candidates
meeting, Douglas Riddell, to reply
that he did not feel the Grand Bend
Lions Club would be in support of
your intention and that it would
have been an act of courtesy on
your part to have previously dis-
cussed this with the Lions Club.
As you know, the athletic field was
purchased, developed, and commis-
sioned into public use through the
exclusive funding by the Grand
Bend Lions Club and a matching
grant from Wintario.
Your reply to Mr. Riddell's com-
ment was that "you had previously
discussed this matter with the ma-
jority of the Grand Bend Lions
Club executive and that they were
in support of your proposal".
At a general meeting of the Grand
Bend Lions Club held on November
3, 1988 with 63 percent of the
members in attendance, this issue
and your statements were thorough-
ly discussed. The Lions Club
wishes to go on public record with
the following comments:
1. Not one of the Lions Club
members in attendance at their No-
vember 3rd meeting had any knowl-
edge of a discussion with you on
this matter. Nor was any member
aware of any discussion that you
may have had with any of the ab-
sent members.
2. The Grand Bend Lions Club is
not in support with your intent to
convert a portion of the athletic
field into a public parking lot.
We are concerned that the Candi-
dates for position on the Village
Council and the general public who
were in attendance at the All -
Candidates meeting may have left
believing that the Grand Bend Lions
Club supports your proposal in this
matter. For this reason, we arc for-
warding copies of this letter to all
of the other candidates, the president
of the Grand Bend Chamber of
Commence and the cditorof the4d-
vance and the Times -Advocate.
Sincerely
Steve Kadlecik, Secretary
Grand Bend Lions Club
Letter to the Editor:
On Monday, October 31, an Offi-
cial Opening of the renovated por-
tion of the Bluewater Youth Centre
was held. Through an unfortunate
oversight, the Warden of Huron
County was not invited to be part
of the Platform Party officiating at
the Opening.
The error and breach of protocol
was mine. I have offered my per-
sonal apologies to Mr. Bell, the in-
cumbent Warden. Through this let-
ter I wish to appologise to the
citi • ' f t r 'ron County for omit-
ting, . ...,dvertently, the high-
est off', .,f their County Govern-
ment. The Warden should have had
a prominent place in the day's
events. I am sorry that through my
error he did not.
Carl DeGrandis
Superintendent
Dear Sir:
There are now one million blue
boxes in Ontario - the blue boxes
. that have become synonymous with
recycling! But there's not even one
in Exeter. With municipal elec-
tions just around the corner, here is
something for the platform of in-
cumbents and hopefuls - the intro-
duction of a recycling program for
Exeter.
The immediate reaction is that it
costs too much. Let me tell you
how it pays!
At a press conference November
3, Premier David Peterson stated
that by recycling, a family can save
approximately 10 pounds of sul-
phur dioxide producing material
each year from being, incinerated and
entering our atmosphere. With
three million families in Ontario
that could be a tremendous saving
for our environment.
In the Wednesday October 19 edi-
tion of "The Advance", it was re-
ported that a recycling study con-
ducted by John Russell determined
the cost of a recycling program per
household would be S 12.82 or less
per year (about 3.5 cents per day!)
in a village of 840. The materials
collected would be newspaper val-
ued at $55 per ton; glass'at S40 per
ton, ferrous/steel S70 per ton; alu-
minum $1400 per ton and 2 litre
plastic bottles, S175 per ton.
How about the cost of not having
a recycling program:' Our landfills
will rapidly reach their capacity and
it's getting more di(Iicult and more
costly to find new landfill sites; we
might think our landfill will last
forever, but we could also be forced
to accept garbage from other areas if I
their landfills have reached capacity
(Metro Toronto is searching for
new sites as far as 300km away).
In many places in Europe 75 per-
cent of the garbage is recycled; in
Japan it's 85 percent. Think how
long that could extend landfill lift.
Garbage disposal by incineration
sends sulphur dioxide into our at-
mosphere, unless the incinerator is
also fitted with acid gas scrubbing
equipment. Acid gas emission
from this source contributes to acid
rain which destroys lakes and fo-
rests. Leachate from landfills con-
taminates the soil and our ground-
water.
We are bombarded daily with
news stories about the destruction
of our environment and the implica-
tions for all of us who live on this
earth.
It's time we think globally and
act locally. I want to do something
about our pollution problem and I
am sure I am not alone. How can
we, as citizens, expect industry to
clean up acid gas and other emis-
sions which contribute to acid rain
and depletion of the ozone layers
unless we do the same? A recy-
To the Residents
of HENSALL:
Thankyou for your words of
encouragemen and support. I hope I will be
able to represent you on Village Council as
Reeve.
Elect a citizen who cares about your concerns.
I will support the Hensall Union Cemetery.

News from
Lucan Revival
LUCAN - Rev.: Roger Mason
conducted the Sunday morning ser-
vice. Mr. Grant Jeffrey, author of
the book Armageddon, Appoint-
ment with Destiny, talked about the
birthright of the Christian as a hea-
venly home with the Lord.
Jeffrey asked if each of us were
able to press a button to bring Je-
sus back to take us to heaven to be
with Him, would we press it? He
then showed what God has to say
about heaven from 1 Peter 1, and
other scriptures. He discussed the
crowns of rewards given by God to
those who are faithful Christians
when they are taken to heaven.
From Biblical prophecy, he told of
the coming greatest battle on earth,
the battle of Armageddon.
Upcoming events - Saturday, No-
vember 12 - The Pioneers will be
holding a special fund raising
luncheon for the Community. Call
