Lucan swimming pool project expected to be .ready by x.993 LUCAN - Holman Steffens, chainnan of the Lucan and commu- nity swimming pcx)f refurbishing program. said this work he hopes the project will be completed for the season of 1993. Steffens indicated the fund rais- ing was going well to cover the ex- pected cost of $200,000. He added, "This is turning into a community effort with a number of service clubs throwing their support behind us. Work will begin as soon as the financing is in place." A PRIDE grant from the provin- cial..government in the amount of 522;000 is expected. The Lucan Li= ons and the Lucan and arca Knights of Columbus are each providing $10,000 and the Lucan Legion and the Ilderton Lions are each contrib- uting $2,000. The chairman said the main fund raising projeet will be a calendar lottery similar to the one which is currently proving to be very suc- cessful for the Precious Blood Mis- sion in Exeter. Tickets will sell for $30 each and prizes will be handed out for each day of 1993 beginning on January 1 of next year. The pool which is close to 30 years old will be refurbished in eve- ry way. The floors are being taken out and the new floors will have a different gradual slope from two and a half feet at the shallow end to 11 and a half feet at the deepest point. The walls of the pool will be sandblasted and a new cement like material added. The bath house will be completely renovated with a new roof and new equipment will be acquired. In conclusion, Steffens said, "For safety and social reasons all kids should learn to swim and with this project we will be giving them the opportunity to'do so." For this season, the summer swimming lesson program is being changed to four sessions, of two weeks each and one extra instructor will be hired.

County warden and Zurich reeve Bob Fisher apologized to the coun- cil for wearing so many pins to the meeting.

"Until I get my hat I have to wear their pins," he said of the agree- ment which stated that the village which saw.the largest percentage of; residents out exercising on May 27 could make the losing reeve wear the winner's hat for a month. Fisher's jacket was festooned with pins and buttons promoting Hensall, including the Hen - salt" button. hand," ebtplahted MacDougall, but noted that with ticket sales limited to 500 people in the recreation cen- tre auditorium, that problem should be solved.
