The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1975-06-12, Page 15 (2)• • q,. Lots to do this weekend Well, it's here; Buffaloburger Fest is underway tomorrow and by the time you read the T -A this week, the big -top at the beach will already be up. With a break from the weatherman, the Fest should be a terrific one and no doubt thousands from the outlying area will be on hand to enjoy the food, drink and good times. Buf- faloburger Fest didn't get this far without a lot of hard work by many people. To name them ail would take too much space, so we'll just say "well done"to Bert Albertson and his gang from the Grand Bend Chamber of Com- merce. Check the schedule on page 3A of this week's T -A to find out when everything is happening. Remember, the Fest is a family affair! + + + If this column is a little more incoherent than usual this week, at least we can't blame it on Buffaloburger Fest. Actually, we spent the weekend camped in a tiny little tent down at Carlisle Ontario along with 20.000 other bluegrass music fans from all over North America. (Not all in the tent!) The object of the exercise was to hear Bill Munro and The Bluegrass Boys and sixteen other bands from Canada and the United States. The music started at noon Friday and didn't stop, literally, until eleven Sunday night. The stage lights were off. for a few hours each night but there were numerous impromptu jam sessions all night. The weekend was a warmup for By TED ROWCLIFFE the Buffaloburger Fest and once again bluegrass music will be on the menu this weekend as Rural Retreat will be playing Friday and Saturday during the Fest. Bluegrass is nice enjoyable music and can easily be adapted to singalongs and the old favourites. A late addition to the Buf- faloburger Fest news is the fact that the Chamber of Commerce will be having a table at the flea market scheduled for Saturday between Steve's Subs and the Sun Shoppe. If you have anything that you would like to donate to the Chamber for this table, call Don Flear for a free pickup on Friday morning. Volunteers wishing to help the Chamber in any capacity during Buffaloburger Fest should be at the beach on Thursday at one o'clock in the afternoon. + + + A little further off but closing in fast is the Canada Trust 100, a 100 mile yacht race starting and finishing in Grand Bend June 28- 30. Registration will take place at the Grand Bend Yacht Club on River Road from 6.00 to 8.00 p.m. on Friday, June 27. According to a seagull, the best times for viewing are Friday night when people can see the yachts at the GBYC slips prior to the race and on Saturday mor- ning from 9-10 o'clock as they start the race under full sail. In addition, the Canada Ministry of Transport will provide a marine communications display, which the public is welcome to visit and see how marine communications are handled.

About 120 girls will be taking a junior cadet training course at Camp Ipperwash, near Grand Bend, which this summer has close to 1,600 army cadets enrolled in training programs. Camp Ipperwash is used by the Canadian Armed Forces all year, but is most active during the summer months with the arrival of the 13-18 year-old army cadets from across the province. Cadets will arrive on July 5 and leave following the graduation day ceremonies - the Lieutenant Governor's Day - August 16. Cadets attending the camp for the first time are enrolled in a two week junior cadet course. Those who have completed the junior course take the six week cadet leader course. Much of the time is spent in the bush receiving instruction in orien- teering, map reading and rifle shooting. Cadets who are over 15 years and have completed the two courses are enrolled in the cadet leader instructors course. The instructor cadets will spend some time in North-Central Ontario training in mountain climbing, and canoeing. Two weeks are spent completing a ground search and rescue operation. Cadets completing a six week course receive a $100 bonus. Sixty cadets will be enrolled in a six week junior and senior military band course.Also in the planning stages is a driver communication course. Cadets are taught to operate military and civilian vehicles. Included in the course is a driver's field trip to Owen Sound, CFB Borden and back to Ipperwash. The Ipperwash- Valcartier, Quebec cadet exchange will take place again this summer with 140. cadets from Ipperwash spending Budget up five percent The municipality of Grand Bend -will probably be spending about five percent more money this year than last according to village officials. Following a committee -of -the - whole meeting of council Monday night, Reeve Bob Sharen stated ,that• this -year's budget will in- clude about five percent more in the way of expenditures. He said that this did not necessarily mean all taxpayers would find their tax bills five percent higher as the reassessment of garbage costs would act as an equalization factor. Council has originally intended to have the budget complete and approved Monday night but the document was still at the auditors for final checking. Clerk -treasurer Louise Clip- perton said the budget was ex- pected back from the auditors in time for the regular meeting 6f council Monday night at seven o'clock. Seven accept challenge A total of seven mayors and reeves from the area have ac- cepted Reeve Bob Sharen's challenge for the Olympic Physique Contest and will appear during the Buffaloburger Fest activities on Saturday afternoon.

THE EXETER -TIMES ADVOCATE Sewer system outlined 21 days for letters Ratepayers of the village of Grand Bend have twenty-one days to register their objections or approvals to a proposed sewage system outlined in an advertisement on page 2A of this edition of The Exeter Times - Advocate. Objections or approvals must be sent to the clerk in writing stating views on the Ontario Municipal Board approval of the sewage project or the imposition of sewage rates. Reeve Bob Sh ren told the T -A council was hopg for very few objections since any further delays would be costly to the municipality. He said the six month delay last year resulted in an increase of one half million dollars in the estimated cost of construction. "Council feels that the majority of the ratepayers are in favour of the system," said Reeve Sharen. "Many signed a petition which was presented to council and many who didn't are in favour." The Ontario Municipal Board may approve the sewage service and rates but may also hold a public hearing when objections or approvals may be considered. Notice of the hearing will be sent only to those who reply in writing within the next twenty-one days. Estimated cost of the system is $3,117.328 with the province responsible for 75 percent of the cost or approximately $2,337,995. It is proposed to impose an estimated service rate of 63.3 cents per 1,000 gallons of sewage. together with a frontage rate, connection charge, and mill levy. The proposed frontage rate has been set at 30 cents per foot per year for 40 years. A connection charge of $35.79 will also be charged annually for 40 years. A surcharge of 150 percent on water bills will also be assessed. The mill levy will be 4.0 mills on all assessable property in the village. It is suggested that all ratepayers study the ad- vertisement and make objections or approval in writing known' to the village clerk within 21 days. Inspection Lt. Col T.M. Webster (Ret'd) of Grand Bend was the Inspecting Officer at the Annual Inspection of the NLCC Glorious No 45 held Friday evening at the Prevost Armoury in London.
