Vass Raay T -A Reporter GRAND BEND - The Grand Bend beach had a successful sum- mer except for a couple of notable incidents detailed by the year-end report by the Grand Bend Beach Patrol. An exchange student visiting Grand Bend is now paralyzed after a shallow water dive during the week of June 20 and a theft cost the beach patrol $700. The report stated the beach was well kept, kayaking and wind- surfing was kept under control, the bathhouse and walkways were kept clean; and perhaps most important- ly, the beach patrol had another drowning -free year. No drownings have occurred since the beach pa- trol was established in 1982. Clerk -Administrator Paul Turn- bull explained most of the prob- lems at the beach were usually re- lated to the sand bar. He said peo- ple who swam out to the sand bar had trouble swimming back in. However, Turnbull concluded the report was reasonable and said he has heard satisfactory remarks from others on the overall performance of the beach lifeguards this sum- mer. A number of incidents were stat- ed in the report including the pres- ence of a religious solicitor who was handing out literature at the beach. Beach Patrol Officer Dave Steiginga ' wrote that he had asked the individual to leave. He said in response the individual said, "You Rave a news tip?

Steiginga said he didn't want this individual at the beach because he sees this person as bothersome to beach patrons. Other incidents in the report re- lated to the danger of the sand bar. "Dave (Stergtnga) had a double clutch father/son who were trying to swim in from the sand bar," and "Ryan (Walker, Beach Patrol) had a non -swimmer 10 yr. old off sand bar," the report stated. Similar in- cidents were also recorded.. The most troublesome incident this summer happened during the week of June 20, 1997. The report stated, "an exchange student was diving into shallow wa- ter and is now paralyzed for life, because he had broken his neck." The report added the accident hap- pened during a week when the pa- trol was not on duty. The report re- quested that Grand Bend Beach be staffed at all times so that a similar incident does not occur.
