Local swim pool shows 1985 profit The Exeter pool was one of three among the 13 in the Lake Huron zone to show a profit this year according to a report submitted by rec director Lynne Farquhar at Thursday's meeting of the South Huron rec cen- tre board -of management. The local pool program had a pro- fit of $1,497, but Farquhar said com- parisons with other communities is difficult because not all use the same reporting basis. The indoor pool at Port Elgin show- ed a deficit of $69,520 to head the list on the red side of the ledger. The total enrolment at the local pool this summer was 582 with 369 of those being certified for completing the various categories. "The pool staff did a really good job," sin told the -board in reporting on the past season, noting they work- ed will as a team and took on many extra activities and special events to make the program more interesting for youngsters. "Head supervisor Sharon Rundle, assisted by Steve Batten, should be commended along with the rest of the staff for their self-motivation and in- terest in making changes and using new and fresh ideas." The final report submitted by Run- dle expressed some concern from the staff regarding salaries and hours worked at the pool and the rec direc- tor said that the board may have to increase salaries to make the job more attractive and to get qualified people interested in returning. Pool staff require a number of Red Cross and Royal Life Saving awards and it was explained that the courses cost staff between $350 and $400 to achieve and must be constantly updated. Before making a recommendation. Farquhar plans to check with other communities. noting there has been considerable discussion in the zone 'regarding the lad( of qualified pool staff. Her one recommendation was for the purchase of a new spinal board of a cost of around $200. Other needs outlined were for minor equipment additions, although she explained that an underwater platform that could be put in the shallow end for smaller youngster would be a great asset. In her final report on the sports and play program, the Kee director ex- pressed disappointment in the atten- dance, suggesting that either the fees were too high but more probably "the program may have run its course." She indicated the staff came up with a good program, but due to in- experience and lack -of a strong leader in the group "at times things were left' to the last minute and tended to be a little disorganized." The progrunt will be evaluated and the format may be changed next year to attract more youngsters. The program showed a profit of $775, compared to one of $1,690 the previous year. In other business at Thursday's meeting, the board: Received a letter from Exeter Minor Softball indicating they were again solvent due to the Sportsfest allocation and were paying the $94 owing for the past season. In addition, the group would be retaining $100 and offered the balance of their funds for the washroom project at the agricultural building if it goes ahead. Refered to the facilities commit- tee a complaint from Tony and Marlene Bedard, Zurich, over the fact they were not notified of a change of policy whereby those renting the hall have the option of buying their mix from the board or privately. The Bedards explained they could have bought their soft drinks wholesale and reduced their expenditures over those paid to the board for mix.
