A recent rash of com- plaints making the rounds on social media over park- ing by-law enforcement has caught the attention of Westport Council. While no complaints were brought forward to, or addressed to council, at Monday's Committee of the Whole meeting, coun- cilors discussed the issue at the end of the meeting. The village issued a total of 20 tickets in July and August combined, but tickets handed out earlier this month had several business owners upset, with some questioning the four-hour limit and whether the village even needed parking enforce- ment. "There was a discus- sion among the merchants about the enforcement. "There was a concern over whether we should have by-law enforce- ment," Councillor Gerald Schwinghamer said. He suggested council host a public meeting over the issue before they have a planned review of the village's parking. They have also discussed pay and display parking in the downtown core. It was also mentioned the business owners may bring their recent concerns by way of the chamber of commerce. "I'm concerned, what if we had a public meeting and no one came?," Mayor Robin Jones said. "Then they wouldn't have grounds to complain if they didn't," Schwing- hamer said. Council may host another Mayor's Breakfast this fall with the focus on parking. June Alford, her son Brian Alford and granddaughter Adriana Alford, all from Alber- ta, presented Fiona McLean of the Opinicon Hotel a painting by Eleanor Pinson- neault. The Alford Room was named in honour of June and Peter Alford who operat- ed a business and B&B in Chaffeys Lock. The business was purchased by The Opini- con after Peter's death in 1999 and demolished to provide additional parking space. The original home was built by Peter's grandfather Charles Alford. 45 Alford family members and friends attended dinner in the Alford Room Sept. 16 to celebrate the occasion, and enjoy the Alford Room. •Continued from page 3 ton prizes, the township for its logistical support, and homeowners who contribute space. "The whole village seems to pull together," said Terri Wood, a long time car show volunteer and founding organizer when it modestly began in 1994. A total of 163 entries registered for the car show, a record number. "It was a huge record. We've probably had up to 120 before. The forecast was good, no forecast of rain. People didn't mind bringing their cars out in the nice weather," she said. So many cars arrived on Saturday that without any more room some were turned away. Wood was impressed by the quantity and age of the cars. Among the vehi- cles were seven Ford Model As from 1920 to 1931 and a 1929 Dodge sedan. Cars came from as far away as Brinston, Arn- prior and Napanee. Major prize winners for the day included 50/50 winner Jason O'Quinn who won $1489. Arianna Tedford won the Via Rail Turkey Tracks prize and David Wing won the quilt draw.

The dry spell has daily flows down to 250 m3, well below the 310 m3 on their certificate of opera- tion. After July's storm, daily inflows were elevat- ed for weeks afterward, adding as much as 6,000 m3 to the lagoons.
