"It went very well," said Binnnendyk. "We had a very excel- lent turnout and I think it was enjoyed by everyone." The weather cooperated. "It was actually a nice summer for it. We had only one rain date, so it worked out really well." Binnendyk said he had more stu- dents this year with 47 students spread over five different classes. "I had nothing but very positive comments," he said, noting that many people told him that as soon as the season starts again next year, he should call them so they can do it again. • "It's very rewarding," he said. "I think we're one community with our whole area that I can think of that is actually running a program like that." He says the problem with many courts in small communities is that they're "open to the four winds." "They're very poorly maintained and so the interest isn't there," he said. The Seaforth courts are locked. Users paid $35 at the beginning of the season to get a key and will get $10 of that back when they return it this fall. Binnendyk wishes they could get together enough people interested in playing to get a club going, but says Seaforth isn't there yet. He says we may get there if interest continues to grow. He said he'd like to get some of the people in the Bridges development who are interested in playing tennis involved, but notes that the Bridges management is planning to build a court over there as part of the recre- ation facility they're promoting. He thinks there are more people using the courts in general, though notes it's hard for him to say since he's not always there. "Everybody's commenting how well -kept the courts are, and that is an added attraction, as far as I'm Scoreboard SHUFFLEBOARD Sept. 19 Ladies high: Ann Van Dooren 3 wins.

"I think the idea of locking up the gates was a very positive move." Binnendyk hopes to teach again next year. "I intend to conduct tennis clinics again next year, if all is well, if I stay on the right side of the sod," he said with a laugh, noting that he enjoys teaching the sport. Of the 15 players on the St. Anne's tennis team, six are students of Binnendyk's. While lessons are over, some peo- ple are still getting some use out of the courts. Binnendyk said that with the shorter days, people who paid $10 to get a key that lets them turn on the overhead lights are the only ones using the courts now. . He says they'll have to look at the fee structure for the lights, since the lights are expensive to run and the $10 fee doesn't reflect that.
