• 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

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. Mrs. Lillian
Brown, and Mrs. Maurine Walper
have made a single bed quilt to be
sold as money making project,

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

Grand Bend with the necessary

Reeve Sharen also asked Mr.

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

Mr. McTeer said the Huron

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

were done shoddily and had the

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.
Mr. Downing stressed the
inaccuracy of the number when
