Grand Bend Study
Land Ownership
Grand Bend village council
learned very little concerning
the controversial matter of who
owns what property along the
beach.
At last Monday's meeting of
council a map was received from
the Ontario Department of Lands
and Forests showing the amount
of land that is governed by the
village under tzeir licence of
occupation from the Department.
Reeve Orval Wassman said this
was exactly the same as inform-
ation he had received earlier
showing the licence covers five
hundred feet fromthe high water
m ark.
Village solicitor John Gillies is
being asked to check further into
this matter. Several Grand Bend
owners have deeds to their prop-
erty covering the same area list-
ed on the Department of Lands
and Forests licence of occupation.
The matter again came up
later in the meeting when a rep-
resentative of Monetta Menard's
Tavern asked for some consider-
ation regarding parking for patrons,
in front of the propertyin question,
on the east side of the road lead-
ing to the pier.
Greg Lambert of the hotel firm
said customers were lost over the
weekend because parking in front
of the building was filled. One
neighbouring property, Bonnie
Doon has built a fence allowing
patrons to park.

Bumps, Blood and Enjoyment
It's hard for the average chap
to get away from the daily bind;
wife, kids, job, mowing lawn.
He's fortunate if he can sneak a
game of golf or get out fishing,
without experiencing a deep guilt
feeling. This week, I did it,
have no guilt feeling, and spent
one of the most enjoyable days
I've had inyears.
A colleague who is an ardent,
crafty and persistent angler, and
is leaving the area, decided to
treat me to a day's fishing at one
of the secret places he has recon-
noitred over the years, and would
rather sell his wife and children
into slavery than reveal its locat-
ion.
He doesn't have to worry. It
tool< us three hours to get on the
lake and I couldn't find my way
back there with the help of a
bloodhound handcuffed to a Moun-
tie. We bagan on highways that
dwindled to gravel concession
roads that shrunk to mountain -
goat paths that ended in solid
)ush.
We crossed a couple of bridges
that looked as though a well-fed
family of butterflies couldn't
walk across them without going
through. And we were in a van,
with a boat in the back. On each
ccasion, I felt something in my
mouth, and knew it wasn't my
foot, but my heart.
But finally, there was the lake,
lovely and utterly solitary. Just
us and the bugs. And we were
outnumbered about eight million
to one. Mosquitoes the size of
starlings.
Those beasts lapped up fly
dope like kids licking ice. cream.
You could have had a bath in the
stuff, and they'd still have come
in like another wave of zulu war-
riors.
Later I was put ashore for a
short portage, and got an inkling
of what the coureurs-de-bois
suffered. Any man who tells me
that "the bugs don't bother me"
is a liar. When you're swallowing
about six with each labored breath
and your nose and ears are full of
them, it's hard to believe that a
man could not go insane in a very
short time, alone in the bush.
While ashore, in thick bush, I
could put my hand to the back of
my head, and remove it with a
solid handful of blood and mashed
mosquitoes. In five minutes my
Bead was a phrenologist's delight.
a solid mass of bumps and blood.
But once on the lake, we got
a modicum of relief. And the
fishing was very pleasant. It was
one of those too -rare summer days
that are ideal for fishing: cloudy,
odd flash of sun, threat of rain,
and just enough breeze to ripple
the surface.
We trolled and chatted and ate
sandwiches and had a slug of rum.
It must have been the last item
that did it. After more than an

caught on bottom, right after
we'd had a snort. We backed up
to try to save the lure, and sud-
denly the bottom began to move.
I knew it wasn't a real fish. A

fight, jump and try to snag you
