Southcott Pines will discuss amalgamation
Officials of the Southcott Pines
Park Association indicated this
week that they are willing to
meet and discuss with Grand
Bend council the subject of an-
nexation or amalgamation.
In a letter to the village read at
Monday's regular meeting of
council, Association president
Dr. R.M.G. Clay said, "Directors
of our Association forwarded a
position paper on this topic to the
Sarnia-Lambton area planning
study last year."
"In it we supported a form of
restructuring of local govern-
ment in this area in recognition of
some of our problems and yours
(limited tax base supplying a
larger area with individual
services).
To this aim we would be more
than willing to meet and discuss
with you the problems you are
encountering. We have also
noticed different newspaper
articles referring to the wishes of
the majority of residents of
Southcott Pines in keeping their
local environment quiet and
secluded.

If the council of Grand Bend is
unwilling to let us continue to
manage our own affairs and let
us decide the fate of our roads in
consideration of the advantages
and disadvantages of such
policies which do not affect the
rest of Grand Bend, then we
would have to take this into
consideration in regard to local
government restructuring."
No dicussion transpired on the
letter as two members of council
deputy -reeve Rollie Grenier and
councillor Robert Simpson were
not present.
Set garbage day
On the recommendation of
works foreman Gary Desjardine,
council agreed to set Saturday
October 30 as the day for special
fall cleanup and the waste
disposal site will be open for use
by Grand Bend residents from 12
noon until 5 p.m.
Last year the dump grounds
were open for two days for the
same purpose but Desjardine
said only eight local persons took
advantage of the opportunity.
In his regular report Desjar-
dine said some money was saved
this year on grass cutting in the
village when it was handled by
works employees instead of by
private contract.
He continued, "We saved
money but it's not fair to com-
pare this year with 1975 because
of the steady growth of grass due
to the unusually wet weather and
we cut about 30 percent more
area this year."
The foreman added, "I would
like a new riding lawn mower but
I can't justify the purchase this
year in lieu of the other equip-
ment needs of the village."
He reported that snow fencing
along the beach area would be
put up shortly after Thanksgiving
to reduce the amounts of blowing
sand.
A catch basin on River Road is
currently being lowered to im-
prove drainage in the area of the
Grand Bend hill.
Council agreed that all garbage
collection charges should be
reviewed at the end of the year.
Reeve Bob Sharen said, "Some
are probably paying too much
and others not enough.
Clerk Louise Clipperton said
she felt the present method of
specific charges for the different
categories was satisfactory. She
added, "I think it's good. This
way you know what you are
paying and what services you will
get in return."
Council filed a letter from the
town of Exeter regarding the
formation of an area recreation
council. The only comment was
made by councillor Bill Baird,
"Exeter and Grand, Bend have
nothing in common as far as
recreation is concerned."
