A -B to protect riverbank Work starts on GB project Coustruction of the $93,366.00 Grand Bend Area E Erosion Control project has commenced and according to Alec Scott, Water Resources Co-ordinator with the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority, the project is "pro- gressing well". The -erosion control project consists of sheet pile which is being used to protect 140 metres of riverbank just upstream , of the Cruising Club. Shoreline Maintenance and Construction Limited of Sar- nia, who submitted the lowest of seven tenders, is doing the construction work. Cumming and Cockburn and Associates, consulting engineers from Willowdale, are responsible for the project's design and overall supervision. ABCA staff are monitoring the work as well. Scott notes that the "tenders were requested for the installation of rock rip rap and the sheet pile. When the sheet pile came in as being only 10 per cent more expen- sive it was decided to go with the sheet pile, primarily because of the lower long term maintenance costs associated with sheet pile". Prior to the installation of the sheet piling, several trees along the river bank had to be removed. Scott explains, "the trees were undercut and a danger of falling. Some might have lasted a littler longer, but if they fell they would have severely damaged the sheet pile". The sheet pile work is to be completed by the end of December with the sodding and landscaping scheduled for next spring. The erosion problem occurs at a bend in the Ausable River where river currents have been undermining the bank. A THRILL Local SHDHS student Barb Shorp had the thrill of a lifetime when she worked at Marineland recently. She's shown with Nonee, a baby killer whole, and trainer Peter Forrester. Not all marine work thrills local student A trip to ,Marineland in Niagara Falls really was a Thrill of a Lifetime for local high school student Barb Sharp. Three weeks ago. Miss Sharp made the trip to Marineland as part of the filming for the ('anadian television production.

On her arrival to Niagara Falls. Miss Sharp was fitted with a uniform and was ready to go to work She was kept busy her first day helping with the care of the killer wha les The local girl aided Marineland trainer Peter Forrester feeding the 7500 pound male whale and his 26 -year-old mate. She also assisted in training techni- ques and learnt several in- teresting facts about the only marine mammal Later in the day the 18 -year- old worked with the mischievous and very lively dolphins. She was instructed on how to run the routine put on for the Marineland au- diences involving the very in- telligent dolphins She is quick to point out that a dolphin is as intelligent as a normal five-year-old child. Miss Sharp soon found that the business is not as glamourous as it appears During the cold hours of the second morning she had the honour of sorting fish which would be fed to the dolphins The dirty job of picking out moldy or second class fish was not the highlight of the f rip. Barb Sharp's challenge came in the afternoon of the second day at Marineland • She was put to the task of run- ning the dolphins and killer whales through a routine before a live audience. Marineland has ceased operation for the winter months. so a bus load of nine and ten year olds was brought in to view the show. The routine ran well until the local girl crossed up her hand signals and had dolphins flipping instead of bowing. She is quick to point out that some of the hand signals in- volved in the routine are very similar. "It was an absolutely fan- tastic time",gays Miss Sharp. who adds that she is con- templating pursuing a career in the field.

This latest project is part of a series of erosion control measures that the ABCA has been involved in at Grand Bend. A total of about 600 metres of riverbank have been protected. The project also represents the second major erosion con- trol project completed by the 'Conservation Authority this year. In the spring, a $70,000.00 project in Port Franks was constructed. The Grand Bend project is being funded by the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority largely through grants obtained from the pro- vince. Grand Bend has ac- cepted "special benefitting status" which means the village is responsible for most of the remaining costs. A small amount of the cost will be shared by the other 31 member municipalities of the Conservation Authority. Grand Bend has passed most of its costs on to the people who own the six residences being protected by the erosion control project. Times -Advocate, December 12, 1984 Page 3 United Church group continues opposition "Murder is' an offence against God", and lending the sanction of the state to it still doesn't make it right. Working from this fun- damental position, the ex- ecutive of The United Church of Canada's Ge,,Reral Council voted recently to continue its opposition to capital punishment. Members of the executive, representing the church's constituency across the na- tion, also shared in the sense of national anger over the re- cent rash of killing of police officers. The church resolu- tion expresses sympathy for the deep sense of hurt ex- perienced by the families and colleagues of the victims of such crimes. It goes on to call for measures such as tighter gun control legislation to bet- ter protect the lives of police.
