Local pucksters win
at minor awards night
Friday night the annual hockey
season wind-up was held in the
Parkhill Community Centre for all the
North Middlesex pucksters.
If you were able to hear above the
roar of some few hundred chattering
voices you mights have caught the
team names and details: Our Grand
Bend players took their share of
awards being the smallest percentage
to attend the arena.
Starting with the tykes, who played
a very good season, the future Silver
Stick scorers, each received a
medallion and ribbon for their efforts.
In the novice league, Donald Hodkin-
son was awarded the most valuable
player trophy and Andrew Sharen
won the most improved player award.
Jeremy Anderson captured the
M.V.P. trophy, Jamie Chalmers the
team leader award and Ryan Taylor
won the M.I.P. award, all for the
novice B league.
Warren Haist won the team leader
award for the novice A division.
In the atom B league there were
two Grand Bend trophy recipients.
Jeff Grenier won the M.V.P. award
and Matt Anderson took the team
leader trophy. Moving up to the pee
wee division, M.V.P. went to Shannon
Desjardine; team leader. Kevin
Eagleson; and M.I.P. award went to
Jeff Farrington.
All in all it was a good hockey
season but. it's too bad that all the
parents can't find the time to attend
their son's or daughter's annual
celebration, especially when the
children are so proud to win an award
for doing the best they can.
WiNS TROPHY — At the hockey
awards night and family dance
held in the Parkhill Community
Centre Friday, Ryan Taylor won
the Most Improved Player award
for his Novice B team. This was
•Ryon's first year playing hockey
and he likes the sport very much
as you can see.

Council endorse plan
for area bus service
Four delegations met with the
Grand Bend Council on Monday night.
Robert Bentley appeared to gain
support at a P.V.L:tearing in Sarnia.
Bentley proposed to run shuttle -tour
service for the resort and surrounding
area. He obtained support of Vice-
president, Nick Carter, as a represen-
tative from the Grand Bend Chamber
of Commerce, who will accompany
him to Sarnia. -
Council passed a motion to have
Councillor Dennis Snider attend the
P.V.L. (Public Vehicle License) hear-
ing in Sarnia on April 23, as support
from council on Bentley's proposal.
He hopes to start his 12 -passenger
tour van trips at 11:00 in the morning
with approximately five round trips
per day. The shuttle would leave the
Colonial, corner of Main Street and
Hwy. 21, and service the Pinery,
Klondyke and Ruston Parks. It is
planned to be in service from
Thursdays to Mondays daily with
special request stops along the route,
for example the Lambton Heritage
Museum. Bentley hoped to have the
service available year round with
scheduled shopping trips every
Thursday for senior citizens.
Council thought the whole shuttle
concept was a great idea for the
village because of the many parking
problems.
After much favorable response
from the recent Civic Awareness
meeting held in the municipal
building on April 2, the Grand Bend
Chamber of -Commerce has decided
to hold their annual Burgerfest in
June '85 afterall.
Chamber president Gene Grenier
asked council to pass another motion
once more so that proper permits
could be obtained legally 60 days prior
to the event. Deputy -reeve Harold
Green said to Grenier, "You already
got it." Green along with council
voted 3-2 in favour of shorter hours for
Burgerfest in February '85. Clerk
Dianne Mollard prepared a new mo-
tion for the Chamber.
The Burgerfest is planned for June
13-16, starting on the Thursday night
with the Lions bingo in the tent.
Snider had only one request and that
was if the chamber would consider
giving a small percentage of this in-
come towards the village's beautifica-
tion program, such as the new gar-
bage receptacles being purchased.
Grenier assured Snider that the mat-
ter would be discussed at their next
meeting.
Timothy Berg, vice-president of
S.W.O.O.P., requested permission
from council to hold a para -water-ski
meet this summer. This is the group
of parachutists loeated at the Grand
Bend airport. He said thatit would be
one special event only, scheduled
hopefully for Saturday, August 17.
Councillor Bruce Woodley remind-
ed Berg of the village by-law which
prohibits boats from within 500 feet of
the shoreline. Snider inquired if an
area could be roped off for the jumps,
so that no beachcombers would get
hurt.
Berg also would require $5,000,000
liability insurance for such an event.
Woodley agreed to join head beach
patrol officer, Bruce f lelm to aid Berg
with this parachuting venture.
The village auditor, Wendy Larman
from Holbrook and Partners,
presented the 1985 financial
statements. She went over the lists of
village operations and answered all
the questions from each member. In
closing, Larman stated that a surplus
is much better than a deficit. She
stressed that "for a village the size of
Grand Bend. it is amazing what has
been accomplished here with the lit-
tle revenue that is corning in." The
