Preparations for summer
seem well under way in
Grand Bend according to
Deputy-Reeve Judy Uniac’s
report at Monday night’s
council meeting.
It was decided that Wally
Lassin be hired as dock
master, and that he be paid a
commission rate of 40 per
cent.
A letter was received from
Bruce Phillips of London
saying that he had consulted
his MP Charlie Turner
concerning the village of
Grand Bend receiving a
federal subsidy for boat
ramp repairs. Phillips says
that his boat was damaged
on the ramp. Council in
structed clerk Louise
Clipperton to look into the
possibilities of getting a
federal subsidy.
Gerald Sanders Jr. at
tended the meeting and was
told that his boat damaged
the village’s dock. Council
said they would forward the
repair bill to Sanders when
they received it.
In other business with the
docks, council received a
letter from C. Van Laughton
requesting docking space for
the summer of 1980.
Laughton says that since it
was handed out on a “first
come, first serve” basis and
he was unable to get space
this year, he was applying
for i960, Councillor Harold
Green pointed out that
customers pay by the size of
the boat and they do not
simply ask for dock space.
After much discussion it
was decided that a new
policy for dock space will
have to be formulatedand the
clerk was told to send
Laughton a letter saying that
the policy will be changed.
Reeve Bob Sharen added,
most“Word it
diplomatically,”
Mrs. M. C. Benstead was
hired to look after the bath
house on the recom
mendation of Deputy-Reeve
willUniac. Mrs. Benstead

keep the bath house open
seven days a week, and her
husband will be helping her
on weekends. She will be
paid $3000 for the season, the
same amount as was paid
last year.
Three life guards who have
worked in Grand Bend
before have been hired. They
are Randy Duxberry, Mike
Wright and Dave Wright.
Mrs. Uniac asked council
how they felt about hiring a
girl as the fourth life guard.
Reeve Sharen pointed out
that when they had had
female life guards in the
past, several people
drowned. However, he was
quick to add that that could
have happened to anybody.
Councillor Harold Green
said that girls “have no
come-back for the
suggestions and language
they get on the beach.” After
some discussion Reeve
Sharen instructed Uniac to
judge the applicants very
carefully, and try to find
someone with some beach
experience, not just pool
work.
Southcott Pines embarks
on recreational program
A large clubhouse and
various recreation facilities
are being planned for the
residents of Southcott Pines.
Don Southcott of Southcott
Pines land company says
that architects have been
consulted and the club house
will be erected in the Sun
Beach area. There will be
also a children’s creative
playground, fishing area,
badminton courts, swim
ming pool and other facilities
in Brewster Park.
Southcott says that the
land company has moved
carefully and consulted the
residents along the way in
their plans for recreational
facilities.
“We felt there have been
problems where developers
built ‘Taj Mahals’ and large
swimming pools so we didn’t
go ahead until we consulted
th^, residents. We didn’t want
them saddled with
something they couldn’t
afford and didn’t want,”
Southcott said.
Dr. Joseph Levy of the
University of Waterloo
started last September on a
study of the recreational
needs of the Southcott Pines
community, Southcott says.
Levy hired Mary Ann
Luckett on an eight month
contract to set up a rec
program.
Ms. Luckett started her
work last October and says
the programs were very
successful. An Activity
Centre was established and
calendars of events were
sent to residents every
month.
“Take a break” was a
program set up for mothers
to do exercises while their
toddlers and babies were
watched. Cross-country ski
classes and tours ,were
organized, as well as craft
classes and activities for
elementary and high school
age students.
One of the most successful
events was a St. Patrick’s
dance held at Gord and
Jean’s hall. Ms. Luckett says
that children have been very
helpful in fund raising. The
children sold flowers door-to-
door at Christmas and
Easter, and held garage
sales. More fund raising
activities for the new club
house have been planned.
Ms. Luckett says that one
of the best things about the
rec program is that now
everyone knows each other,
and everyone is very
friendly.
Because her contract ends
May 31, a part-time
replacement for Ms. Luckett
is being sought. As yet the
rec program is being
sposored by the land com
pany, but it is hoped that the
residents association will be
able to take over the
maintenance costs.
