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. November 9, 1988 Page 7A 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.
