POW* sm.* and cut costs on Seaforth's pool.
= "What we have been doing this
mumPION year is the old question of putting
= out fires."
As they have for many years a Lion's Club members have
moo cooperated in pool and park
= projects by contributing hundreds
NNW of hours of work this year.
About 20 Lions worked about
three hours and' applied 14
gallons of paint, repainting the
pool area. This year the skills of
area residents and club members
have been utillied in order to save
wages.
He said an official from the
Huron County Health Unit who
inspected the pool before its
opening this season said he had
never seen the pool look much
better. Yet last year officials
weren't satisfied with their septic
tank system which would have
cost "a fair bit of money" to
replace.
Holding Tanks
Instead of putting in a sewage
system costing perhaps $10,000
to $15,000 the park committee
installed holding tanks at a cost of
a, little over $1,000.While the
basic is less, holding tanks
require constant maintenance and
pumping out which is costly.
During Centennial, campers
were charged $4 a night, but this
wasn't sufficient to cover
additional costs of employing an
all night watchmen, and keeping
the washroom and bodth facilities
open, Mr., Rimmer said. •
There are an average of 350
people in the pool most Sundays.
Pool attendance on some Sundays
is twice this„ number. But there
are many casual users who come
down for a picnic or who visit the
area who don't pay, "we're here
to provide that service to casual
users," he said.
Although there is no
admission fee to enter the park,
car stickers are sold each year
which say "Seaforth Lion's Club
Supporter", and "we need that
support", Mr. Rimmer said.
For a number of years the park
committee has relied on public
donations to help fund the
indirect costs such as cost of
repair.
TheLion's Club has requested
an increased donation from the
town due to increased expenses
this year which were partially
caused by increased wages.
In some towns where the
municipality funds both pool and
areda, the arena subsidizes the
pool, he said. There is always the
controversy of who should pay,
the 'users or the general public
through taxes.
When discussing whether the
increased cost of poOl rates will
prevent some kids and fainilies
from enjoying the facility, Mr.
Rimmers said it was hard to say.
The pool has always had a
special family rate for three or
more and this makes it cheaper.

would be culling out any family
simply) on cost.
"If you're going to have service
you have to pay for it, hopefully
we can provide some better
services."
He said he likes to use the poi,
and once when he was in the
changing room he heard two boys
talking. One asked another if he
wanted to go to, the store after
swimming because he had $2.
When he asked( if he would save
some of that for the upcoming
carnival he said, he had $10
already saved for that.
Mr. Rimmer said the Club
recently sent letters asking the'
public fordonations. The average
donation is bout $10 but they get
$1 and as much as $20 bills with
no name on.
Older people who never use the
pool but enjoy the attractive park,
give generously.
Since the public has been made
aware of the financial burden the
Club carries, "we have gained
quite a bit of support in not only
money, but of time and a lot of ,
good advice," Mr. Rimmer said.
Some retired men, who can't
participate regularly, help out.
One just has to ask them if they
could fix something when they
get a chance, and the next thing,
it's done, and a good job they do
'of it too, he said.
Mr. Rimmer said he doesn't
know what the future of the park
will be, because any replacement
of the pool, would involve a
considerable amount of money.
"All we can handle at the
moment is the upkeep."
Throughout the nearly fifty
years in which the park has
operated it has been possible
through careful management and-
by taking advantage of available
grants for the Lions parks com-
mittee to not only create a park
and pool second to none in the
area but to provide top mainten-
ance. The Lions Park has become
indentified with Seaforth and has
.brought many thousands of doll,
lars worth of recognition to the
town.
Today's problems, Mr. Rimmer
pointed out, flow from the extent
to which maintenance and instr-
uction costs have risen in recent
years. While there has always
been some loss through vandal-
ism, this too seems on the
increase. This year a.` flower bed
at the entrance to the park was
stripped of the flowers which
someone had 'donated.
The park as it exists today has
been possible only because of the
support and cooperation which
has been received from the
community, and this cooperation
is continuing, Mr. Rimmer said.
Already this year gifts totalling
more than $3,000 have been
received by the maintenance fund
and the total should be well above
that of last year.
"At this point things are
looking good. I'm trying to keep
from looking elated , because
weather is one of the biggest
factors," he said.
"If this weather keeps up, I'm
looking for a good year. We might
just have a dandy," he said.
