The funding of a recreation Programme would be done on a decreasing basis over three years, This means that in the ensuing years Grand Bend would be eligible for a grant, the amounts would become smaller, until the end of the third year when they would no longer be eligible for a grant and would finance the programme themselves. The village would have to assume responsibility of publicity of the programme, supervision and clerical work, Con, Green was enthusiastic about the possibilities saying the recreation committee "would love a recreation director but we • Grand Bend council has established new rates for seasonal docking and daily docking of boats this summer and a system that will attempt to deter boaters paying daily rates but using seasonal privileges. Under the new rates, a boat up to 24 feet long, can be docked for the whole season for $200, up from $175 last year. A boat 25 to 30 feet long will be levied a $300 charge for the season, an in- crease of $50 over the 1975 price. Boats under 18 feet will be the docks, council seemed un- concerned about the number of people choosing to put in at Bayfield rather then Grand Bend. Con. Baird said that even though Bayfield has better equipment and facilities, the docks of Grand Bend will always be full "because they haven't got Grand Bend " he said, in reference to the other activities in Grand Bend, He said many people may dock there, but they have to drive from Bayfield to Grand Bend for recreation. The Orpha Club met Tuesday evening at Mrs, Marty Burke's home with 22 in attendance. Mrs. Clarke Kennedy, president, presided for the business. It was decided to send $10.00 to Bunny Bundle. Mrs. Rosie Grigg donated two crib quilts, one for Children's Aid at Sarnia and other to be raffled at pot luck supper.

Plans were discussed for the annual pot luck dinner, May 4, at Mrs. W.F.B, MacLaren's, Next meeting at Mrs. Laurence Curts, April 13. Lunch hostesses were Mrs, Lloyd Ginn, Mrs, Rosie Grigg, Mrs. Jim Cutting. Personals Mrs. Mary Broadfoot of Kippen visited Sunday with Mr. & Mrs. Clarke Kennedy, have never had the funds."Con. Bob Simpson said it would allow Grand Bend to study whether or not a recreation programme was "feasible." He added that if they found they were unable to con- tinue such a programme when funding ran out in three years they could "just kill it," The deadline for applications has been extended from April 5 to April 12 for post-secondary students and remains at April 30 for secondary school students. Reeve Bob Sharen said he has been approached by two people who have expressed interest in starting a programme in the Grand Bend area. He feels EXperience '76 would provide Grand Bend with the necessary funds. Reeve Sharen also asked Mr. McTeer if he would help in preparing and filing the ap- plication. Mr. McTeer said he would. Councillor Harold Green, chairman of the recreation committee in Grand Bend, may finally get his wish for a recreation director if council applies for a $5,000 grant available from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation. The grant, called "Experience '76", was brought to the attention of council by Bill McTeer, a cottage owner in Grand Bend, who described himself as "a concerned citizen," In outlining the grant struc- ture, Mr. McTeer said all the money would have to be used to pay salaries of employees of the recreation programme. These employees would set up the agenda and the activities of such a programme, which would cater to children, The programme must also be a new programme, said Mr. McTeer, which would run for 13 weeks and end no later then August 28, Mr. McTeer said the Huron Country Playhouse received a $4,600 grant last year, when the allowed to dock inside the marina at $130 for the entire season. Daily rates have stayed the same on small craft, 18 to 24 feet long, They were set at $3 last year, For boats 25 to 30 feet, it will cost $3,50 a day, up 50 cents and $5 for craft over 30 feet long. Daily docking of larger boats within the marina has been discontinued this year, All will be on a seasonal basis. Craft which are longer than 18 feet hut without a seasonal permit will have to move every three days, Harold Green, chairman of the recreation committee, who looks after the docks, said this is to avoid a person docking his boat for two months, and paying less than the seasonal rate. Persons who do move after three days will be required to lift and take with them all their bumpers, wire and tackle. If, on their return their previous space is still open, they can resume docking there. Con. Bill Baird pointed out that many people will probably go out just beyond the dock, turn around and return, negating Con. Green's plan. Con. Green suggested the extra work incumbent with moving every three days will discourage this type of activity.

He also made a complaint about the quality of repairs that were done to the paddleboards last year. He said the repairs were done shoddily and had the fiberglass patches become faulty during a rescue far out in the lake it could have resulted in problems for the lifeguard. had not been kept, The use of a day to day log is one of his recommendations to council. His major recommendation was the handing over of beach control to the lifeguards in order to reduce the use of balls and frisbees and rowdyism on the beach. Mr. Downing used the example of a sunbather who was struck on the head by a hardball while on the beach last year. The man suffered from dizzyness and temporary sight loss after the injury. To avoid such occurrences, Mr. Downing requested and received a definition of authority from council that will allow lifeguards to move users of balls and frisbees off the beaches and back from sunbathers. Mr. Downing also suggested the use of additional part time staff on holiday weekends when beach traffic is heavier, the deliniation of a well defined area that would be free of power boats and better communications between harbor police and lifeguards. He also suggested that floatation devices, identifying clothes, a day to day log, better The summer of 1975 was a successful summer, from the viewpoint of the lifeguard on Grand Bend's two beaches, but senior lifeguard Paul Downing had some suggestions for policy and equipment that he wants Grand Bend council to implement to make 1976 a safe summer, Mr. Downing reviewed the past summer in a brief presented to council Monday night, indicating that there were at least four occurrences where the lifeguards were called upon to make rescues that averted certain tragedy. They were also called upon to administer first aid to two per- sons injured on the beach and help in the search for lost children. Mr. Downing said that a lost child search is treated seriously, • particularly if the last place a child was seen was near the water. Mr. Downing said that the examples used were not the total number of incidents over the summer, merely illustrations of the diverse types of incidents lifeguards encounter.
