Times-Advocate, 1982-03-17, Page 19GB Couples Club heap
ARC Industry speaker
Fifteen members of Grand
Bend Couples Club met
Saturday evening at the
United Church. Fred
Desjardine opened the
meeting with readings on the
Lenten season.
Guest speaker was Harry
Stuart, who is in charge of
the wood -working at ARC
Industries in Dashwood. Mr.
Stuart and his wife Carol
gave a slide presentation and
commentary of work at ARC
Industries and their resident
programs in Exeter. Millie

Easter Sunday breakfast and
hold a summer lawn safe.
Couples in charge this
month were Don and Jean
Weigand, Fred and Marlene

Millie Desjardine.
Nutrition course
Town and country ladies
gathered last Monday
evening for the lecture and
film slides on the topic of
minerals led by Eileen
Gottschall of Kirkton and
held at the For Goodness
Sake store.
She said the soil in which
our vegetables grow as well
as the type of agricultural
practises we employ
determine how much and
which minerals are present.
in our foods. An overabun-
dance of one mineral in the
diet can prevent absorption
of another. These life-
sustaining elements are
often needed when less than
one millionth of a gram, but
without these "trace"
amounts health is seriously
affected. •
Continuing, she said high
potassium fertilizer
decreases plants ability to
take up magnesium. Far-
mers are warned to give
M.G. supplement to animals.
Vegetarian or high -protein
diets can become very mixed
up with not eating a balanced
diet. If you burn all the food
you eat in a furnace all the
minerals from that food
would be in the ashes, says
Mrs. Gottschall.
Zinc deficiency is
widespread, often seen in
pregnant women taking
birth control pills.
Nuts and stone ground
flour are high in mineral
content.
The lecture series continue
next week.
week same time and place.
All ladles welcome.

Elaine Moore spoke on
World Outreach, on the topic
of "Justice". She spoke of
Amos in the 7th Century. In
Scripture, Amos, chapter 5
verse 24 says, "Let justice
roll down like waters, and
righteousness like an
overflowing stream." Elaine
spoke about Rt. Rev. Lois
Wilson, United Church
moderator seeking justice
for native and immigrant
women.
She told us the money
required to provide adequate
food, water, education,
health and housing for
everyone in the world has
been estimated at $17 billion
a year. It is a huge amount of
money...about as much as
the world spends on ar-
maments every two weeks.
Lunch hostesses were
Hazel Broad and Elda
Adams.
Church of God
news
"Do you want to be
healed?" was the sermon
topic, Sunday, by Rev. John
Campbell, from the Scrip-
ture of John 5 verse 6.
Special music was a solo
by Rev. Campbell titled,
"They that sow in tears,"
accompanied with piano by
his wife Betty.
The children's story this
morning was, "The biggest
surprise of all," concerning
the life of Joseph.
About 25 children, youth
and leaders met Friday
night at Church of God.
The children are studying
a new unit on You and your
Friends and began with a
game of getting acquainted
with others.
The youths are studying
the uniqueness of Jesus. All
joined together for lunch
refreshments at the close of
their meetings.
Anglican church news
Rev. J. Sutton spoke at the
Sunday morning service at
St. John's about the passage
taken from the first book of
John, verse 13, when Jesus
entered one of the Jewish
temples on the Sabbath and
found the people selling
auction and sheep and the
money changers at their
business. He was very angry
and He drove the people out.
Students of the Bible feel
that Jesus was angry
because the profits had lost
the whole concept of wor-
ship. Worship in the temples
had become ritualistic and a
place for the trading of goods
- the temples were no longer
places of quiet worship.
Rev. Sutton had a burning
candle beside him - showing
us a flame, of fire which
could give heat or warmth,
but could also consume and
destroy. Fire could be a
symbol of anger and
revenge, he told us, and the
flame could alsp be a bur-
ning away of an old self - a
conversion. He feels some of
the people of today are
resisting change and are
restricting the Spirit of God,
working within them.
Rev. Sutton asks us to
remember the Covenant
between God and His people
which was lost in the trading
and the selling in the temple.
Try to be refined, purer, and
more open in His presence in
our life.
Coffee hour hostess today
was Mrs. Reta Martin.
At the Anglican Church
ladies' meeting on March 4,
they planned a pot luck -
congregational supper, at
the Parish hall on March 15.
Two lovely floral
arrangements decorated the
church sanctuary this
morning, placed in loving
memory by the family of
Mrs. Louise Sturgeon, who
passed away last week.
On Friday, April 2 there
will be a pot luck dinner at
Grand Bend United Church.

Village may have to share
in cost of harbour dredging
For the first time in
council's memory, Grand
Bend may not be getting
complete federal support for
dredging the harbour this
summer, which could mean
a cost to the village of $50,000
to $75,000 or half the total
bill.
Dennis Snider reported to
council Monday night that he
had spoken by telephone to
officials in the Department
of Public Works who in-
formed him that if a
dredging agreement was
struck, the village would be
expected to pay half the
costs. Failing that, Snider
was told, Public Works
would expect the municipal
portion to bepaid by im-
mediate users of the harbour
such as the yacht club,
marinas, and commercial
fishermen.
Customarily, Public
Works has always done the
dredging every two or three
years at no cost to the
village, Snider told the
Times -Advocate after the
meeting. He couldn't recall
when the dredging was last
done, but conceded that it
may be necessary this ar,
depending on how the e
pack on the river affects t e
force of the outflow in
spring. "Obviously, thfikind
of work is very important to'
Grand Bend. We need suf-
ficient depth for the yachts
and cruisers to pass," he
said. As a rule, a minimum
depth of six feet is required
to admit the largest vessels,
he said.
Council also enacted a
bylaw to make Heamen
Drive and Green Acres one-
way streets as recom-
mended by the parking
committee.
Council was told of the
Ontario Base Mapping
Program being run by the
Ministry of Natural
Resources across the
province, under which the
village could apply to have
its surveyors redraw the
naps showing sewer lines,
water mains and houses. The
cost wrxrld be one percent, or
5600 The ministry's letter
said details would he given
at the next council meeting.
Council moved to make the
relevant application.
Gerry Sanders, owner of
Sanders Tavern, appeared to
complain about his sewer
surcharge of $848. He felt he
was being over -charged
because his water con-
sumption, which is the basis
for the sewage charge, is not
as high as is believed. He
Former Grand Bend
resident dies
Mrs. Louise (Merrier)
Sturgeon, of 78 Springbank
Drive, formerly of Grand
Bend, died Thursday March
11, 1982 at Victoria Hospital,
London, in her 93rd year.
r Funeral service was
conducted Saturday, March
13. Interment in Grand
Bend Cemetery.
While the Sturgeons lived
in Grand Bend, the late Mr.

fisherman.

explained that his three ice
machines and five water-
cooled compressors release
clean water into a well on the
premises. His building has
four washrooms and one
small apartment, for which
he is charged a residential
rate of $48. His commercial
rate is $800 this year, he said.
Bob Sharen replied that
installing a water meter
would justify the rate and
save Sanders money, but he
claimed the installation
would be expensive due to
the building's thick walls.
Dusan Novak, manager of
the Bank of Montreal, told
council that the bank would
proceed to sell the site of the
Village Inn when the Fire
Marshal was finished with it
He confirmed that it could be
available to the village as a
leased parking lot until a
buyer was found.
Council also agreed to
Clark Kennedy's request to
change his 1982 garbage
,collection rate from $115 to
$75. He was promised a
rebate because he has paid
the old amount.
A letter from Stephen
Township asked Grand Bend
to consider a sewer rate for
Grand Cove Estates of half
the Grand Bend rate, or $24
per household per year.
Council did not accept it.

Four days in Michigan
Chamber of Commerce gets
results from trade show
About 450 tour operators
and travel agents were able to
get brochures and informa-
tion about Grand Bend along
with 60 other Ontario tourists
attractions at a major trade
and travel show in Michigan
last week.
Ellwood Lemon, secretary -
treasurer of the village
Chamber of Commerce, and
Irwin Schottroff, owner of the
Pine Dale Motel, attended the
four-dayshowfromMarch 7-10
to man a dispiay booth,
answer questions and
distribute literature from a
dozen businesses in Grand
Bend and the area, including
the towns of Forest and
Parkhill. The event was spon- •
sored by the Canadian Office
of Tourism.
Lemon said he would
recommend to the executive
committee of the Chamber
that it participate in any such
tradeshow again next year.
"These tour operators were
looking for one -day tour
packages, such as visiting the
village and seeing a play at
the Playhouse before return-
ing home. We have 20 direct
requests for this kind of tour
as a result of being at the
show," Lemon said.
To his surprise, Lemon
discovered that one of the big-
gest obstacles to increased
tourism here is ignorance.
Some operators admitted that

they had never been to
Canada. In spite of Grand
Bend's reputation as a sum-
mer resort, he found many
people who were unaware of '
the village and southwestern
Ontario in general.
"We will have to start
educating everyone if they
don't even know where Grand
Bend is. There could be many
more Americans here than
there are now," he felt.
The actual cost of the show
was limited to food and ac-
commodation bills for Grand
Bend's two delegates. The fee
for renting the booth was
covered by the $25 paid by
each business to have its
literature handed out.
