Swedish (:roup Entertain Audience The Grand Bend Concert Associa- tion held their final series concert in the United Church on Thursday. The Lamentabile Consort, from Sweden, performed in Grand Bend as part of their North -American debut in an exchange program between Jeunesses Musicales and Youth and Music Canada. The five choral singers sang music from the sixteenth • century to the present day. A number "Fair Phyllis" from an- cient Greece toldtf a shepherd sitting alone watching his sheep, as he dreamed about finding his lost love. "La Bataille" displayed the joy of the French army after being victorious in a battle with the Swiss. All five singers showed their high experience in a varialed pattern call- ed "Network" with whispers and cries. They sang "King Lily of (he Valley" almost like a fairy tale, by one of the beloved poets from Sweden. David Wikander. The audience was delighted with a humorous song about a Swedish peasant wedding with the dancing farm house party. Francis Poulenc was known as an elegant jazz composer who died in a car accident. so his music became sacred. "Clic, clac, dansey sabots" displayed his talents in (his lively dance with wooden shoes. The repertoire included two negro spirituals. one about the animals entering Noah's ark and (he other about faith in God. A humorous type of arrangement in close harmony depicted the rock 'n roll style of (he 50's entitled "Bermuda buggy ride" was performed with visual effects. A story about a British sailor who fell overboard, sank to the bottom. and met an Mermaid with whom he falls in love, was enjoyed by all. At a reception held after (his con- cert, the group performed a barber- shop favorite number. "Mame" for everyone there.

The second delegation came from Mrs. Elia Douglas, owner of Bonnie Doone Manor -on the Beach. She wish- ed to show her disapproval with coun- cil's decision to re -instate Burgerfest. She outlined her concerns over the event, then reinforced them with two other letters, from Jerry Sanders and *orb Southcott, both GB Chamber of Commerce members. All three sup- port other excellent means for the Chamber to raise the funds. On February 4 or this year, a 3-2 vote on Burgerfest took place at coun- cil; Green, Councillors Doreen Seguin and Bruce Woodley voted in favor of shorter hours for the event; Sharen and Snider voted against any Burgerfest. Douglas who had been away on holidays, returned to find it was on again this year. She explained to council that her lawyer has written a letter to the Li- quor Licence Board on behalf of Bon- nie Doone Manor. This letter registers an objection to the approval of the Burgerfest liquor permit. Clerk Dianne Mollard told Douglas that even with the support of Sanders and others, the Board has no authori- ty to close down an event. Council has endorsed i1 t3-2) and there was no written complaint from the Ontario Provincial Police. Snider added "we'll just have to live with it now." Douglas along with others plan to at- tend the L.L.B.O. hearing for the per- mit later this month. The final delegation came from the Southcott Pines Park Association. Members Charlie -Srokosz, Betty Boyles, Pat Venton, Gail Lawson, Bil- ly L. Spindler and Walt Costello were present. Srokosz started by informing coun- cil of their major road maintenance cost from this past winter. He said that a total of $18,000.00 hadbeen spent, $13,235 for snowplowing and some $4,000 in maintenance costs. Spindler added that because of the heavy snowfall, they were asking Grand Bend council to give them some assistance. "I't's a real kick in the pants to get an unexpected bill like this" Spindler said. Green asked if the organization had a figure in mind. Spindler replied that the Township of Bosanquet had given them aid, and if $3,000 were acquired from Grand Bend they would be hap- py. Woodley stated that the village budgets high for these unexpected costs, suggesting that S.P. do the same in the future. He added that as -one person on council, he would sup- port the idea of having the village works department plow the Grand Bend portion of the Pines. Spindler said that the GB portion consists of only 1.4 miles of road, which is about one third of the roads there. Sharen commented that the village budget was already done for '85. A formal request should have been made by the first of December. "1 have to say no as you're asking us for funds to support a private organiza- tion." he added. Sharen went on to say that if council supported the associa- tion on this, they (GB ) would have to increase each village taxpayers' por- tion to cover it. In the' past the association has wanted to be private with no part of Grand Bend. Bosan- quet justified their $9000.00 support by saying that if the Pines didn't look after it, they ( Twp.) would have to. The township clerk sajd that they get provincial grants for such things and they don't support other private sub- divisions such as Beach 'o' Pines because they don't have the deeds to their roads. A formal resolution will be sent to the association with all five council members' opinions on the refusal. In other matters, four sign permit applications were approved for Cana- dian Tire.
