ART EXHIBIT — Wolfgang Suppen has invited three of his fellow ar-
tisans who work in stained glass to display this colorful and inspir-
ing art form in the lounge area of Huron Country Playhouse.
Theatregoers will be treated to a very special visual experience
along with the evening's entertainment but a few extra minutes of
contemplation before or after the play will be "even more
rewarding".
Stained glass show
adorns Playhouse
Seldom does it happen that the ex-
hibition space is enhanced by the
works of art presented, and at the
same time the art is enriched by the
space. This unique combination oc-
curs at the Iluron Country Playhouse
where Wolfgang Suppen and three
colleagues display eight stain glass
panels suspended from the wooden
beams, in one comer -of the lounge
area. -
Although light naturally plays an
important role in stain glass window
panels, here the indirect subtle
lighting arranged to bounce off the
whitewashed walls produces a warm
glowing vibrancy to each piece, em-
phasizing the jewel-like colors of the
glass.
SueObata's "entitled" green and
gray comet -like abstract design
reveals her special talents as a
designer.
Years of experience working in the
painted glass technique.usedexten-
sively in church windows proves Fred
Buchiner a master of this particular
art. The full flowing costume of
"Samurai" and the dynamic power-
ful presence of the goal -keeper in"The
Puck Stops Here" have the same
volume as one would expect in a
painted canvas.
Fine painted detail and clever use
of acid etching away the various
levels of glass are the special style of
Karen Krupa. Earth tone colors of
orange, amber, and deep red reveal
the subject matter of rock paintings
in "Quetico Reflections" and "Fossil
Cross -section". -
The Old Schoolhouse Glass Shop on
Highway 83, about half' way to
Dashwood from the Bluewater in-
tersection is the studio of Wolfgang
Suppen. It was here that Heather
Redick, manager of the Playhouse,
took a course in stain glass work and
the idea of this exhibition was born.
It was a stroke of genius =a delightful

Catholic Church News
Father Morrissey cerlebrated all
three weekend masses. The gospel
related how Christ was rejected by
those in his home town. When we
meet rejection in our lives, whether
from family or society, we often
become enmeshed in feelings of guilt
and failure.
"Taking the hlarne • for all the
world's problems can become a
para1izing burden. Remember. as
Jesus felt abandoned by God on the
cross and vet -rose to victory over
death. so can we surmount all
obstacles with the power of God's
love.
Last week the choir sang "O
Canada" in honor of our country's
special day; this Sunday they sang
the "Star Spangled Banner" for all
the American visitors celebrating the
fourth of July.

dings. Congratulations to Wendy Risi,

Parking problem debate continues
Following a busy, crowded, Canada
Day holiday weekend, all members of
Grand Bend council were present at
the July2 meeting.
One of the most persistent problems
which arose for discussion in several
areas of the agenda was lack of park-
ing space and parking violations. A
long term planning suggestion ( but
not discussed at this time) was a
multi-level parking garage outside
the town including a jitney -bus for
transfer to the beach.
However, immediate action was to
continue to install the signs (already
purchased) limiting parking on Main
Street to two hours; to issue tickets
where cars are illegally parked closer•
than 10 meters from an intersection:
to have "parking lot" maps printed
showing locations of pay lots and free
parking areas - the maps to be plac-
ed on car windshields.
To increase revenues and accom-
modate visitors, it was decided that
one or two additional part-time park-
ing lot attendants be hired so that the
parking lot can open earlier at 7:00
a.m. and remain staffed until 9 p.m.
on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
This extra help would also assist with
beach clean-up during these increas-
ed use times.
As well as three letters dealing with
parking problems, a price quotation
of $1.015.00 for shrubs for the turn
around was discussed but deferred
until next year due to budget
restrictions.
A major portion of the council time
was taken up with thorough and
thoughtful consideration given to the
delegation by Dave Raven and Mike
Clark to have council approve their
proposal to introduce paddle boats as
an additional recreational activity on
the beach.
Council agreed to allow the rental
of paddle boats if the following re-
quirements can be )net: that ticket
sales can be arranged from a com-
mercial booth across Government
Road since no commercialism is
allowed on the beach property; that
$3 million liability insurance (with the
Village as a named insured) be ob-

a designated place near the north

to 20, and that the boats be removed
from the beach at night; that their
proposed power (safety) boat be kept
outside the swimming area ( using
reasonable discretion); and finally
that the advice and concerns of the
head life guard Bruce Helm be taken
into account.
Town Council and the structure of
enacting by-laws unfortunately could
not help the second delegation of Mrs.
Dottie Thornton solve her problem of
numerous stray cats that gather and
are fed next door at 32 Huron Ave.
Her concerns are soil pollution which
prohibits her growing anything in her
garden and the health hazzards of ex-
cessive bad odour. Mrs. Thornton was
advised to contact the Lambton
Health Department.
Approval was given for the Grand
Bend Lioness lottery licence value to
be increased to $16.000.00 from the
standard $10,000.
The following businesses had their
fees and sign permits approved: The
Anchorage Restaurant, Bill Ive T.V.,
Fountain Blue Motel; California
Shorts Co., Kernels Gourmet Popcorn
and the Grand Bend Legion, in con-
sultation with the road foreman, can
place signs to indicate their location.
There was no in camera session,
thus the meeting adjourned at 10:03
p.m. Next regular meeting is schedul-
ed for July 15 at 7:30 p.m.

PLAY▪ GROUND ACTIVITIES — Busy Bee Playgound opened Monday for a seven -week summer of games,
arts and crafts and special excursions. About 20-25 children enjoy the events planned by supervisor
Krystyn Darling (right) of Mt. Carmel and her assistant Suzanne Finkbeiner of Crediton. Sponsored by
the Village of Grand Bend, the playground provides excellent group fun for youngsters from as far away
as Saudi Arabia, the U.S.A. and as close as Grand Bend. Most attend regularly for the whole summer,
but even short term cottagers find the daily $1 fee a bargain.
Dispute over property
could be near ab end
A dispute regarding a piece of land
at the end of Main St. in Grand Bend
s-like-it's-finAllyaCan en a ter
several years of discussion and more
than one OMB hearing.
An OMB hearing was held Thurs-
day, with E.A. Seaborn presiding, to
discuss part lot 405 on plan 24, owned
by Richleigh Investments. This land
is divided into three parts: an en-
vironmental protection zone near the
water, a commercial zone, and land
zoned for multiple family housing.
The zone near the water and the line
that divides it from the other two
areas was in contention.
The line separating the en-
vironmental zone and Richleigh's pro-
perty is now a wavy one. Paul
Fraleigh, the president of Richleigh,
would like the line '"straightened -
out", to conform to a stake already
planted in the property. In return, he
would withdraw his objection to the
environmental protection zone
becoming an open space zone, where
the Village could have public park.
The original request was that this
zone beside the water be deeded to the
Village. The current plan is for
Fraleigh to lease it to the Village for
ten years, to be turned over either at
the end of that period. or earlier if he
develops the other part of the
property.
Richleigh will pay 50 percent of the
cost of preparing a reference plan for
his property.
The OMB will be supplied with a
new sketch showing the line for the
opening as he led everyone in. a
medley of choruses. After Happy Bir-
thday was sung to Mrs. Ferman
Snyder all went to their respective
classes.
