jMB to decide final outcome Local News Mr.' and Mrs, Schweizer have applied for rezoning of their . 3,96 acre lot to.start a business. The site, located at : iot 15, Concession 2, in 'the former, Clarke Township, Under art amending by-law " would contain a single family dwelling, a commercial dwel-, ling, an accessory landscaping landscaping business and a sales and service outlet for small engines and snowmobiles. Neighbours to the Sch- weizers are Vanderstoops with their nursery and Rein- stra's who run a Massey Ferguson dealership. Owing to this fact, the Planning and Development committee has stipulated .that all goods, materials or equipment stor- . ed or displayed for sale on the lot be kept inside a building. This was done to protect the two businesses already in , operation. Two objections to the Bylaw Bylaw have been received and a hearing of the Ontario Municipal Municipal Board is scheduled for July 11, 1980. Thé objections have been raised owing to the feelings that the proposed business for the Subject site Will have a negative impact On similar commercial uses in the area. In a discussion period over this matter at the Planning and Development Committee meeting, two feelings were expressed to the provision that the Schweizer's business must be all-enclosed. Councillor Councillor Clarke felt that it was against our democratic tradition tradition in society, that one business, just because it was started later, should have to Operate in relative secrecy. The second feeling was spoken by Counc. Hobbs who reminded Counc. Clarke that there are laws to protect everybody and in this case, the law was more protective of the two established businesses. businesses. , The ,OMB hearing should determine the final outcome of this venture.

Congratulations Neil!, Neil and Bea and sons live in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. seriously. The provincial police police has a fleet of more than 80 boats patrolling the province's province's lakes and rivers. Boats have to be well maintained and their crews must be well trained. Although the police crews spend more time on the water than the average recreational boater, they face the same hazards. Any boater must learn the rules of the road and those elementary safety pra ctices which can mean the difference between life and death. While some of the marine officer's training will relate directly to law enforcement, they are also instructed on items like fire precautions, man-overboard procedures and boat handling which should be at any boater's fingertips. Many recreational boaters overlook navigation and chart reading as parts of their defensive boating knowledge. OPP marine officers know of many mishaps "simply caused by a lack of knowledge of how to read the buoys irt a marked channel. "With greater knowledge and awareness of the pastime's pastime's pitfalls, many accidents accidents could be prevented," said Commissioner Graham. With hundreds of thousands of lakes in this province, the recreational boater will never have to look far for an ideal lake or river. What is too easily forgotten is that the skill of boating and a knowledge knowledge of the waters you are using must also be thoroughly learned.
