The Goderich Signal-Star, 1974-10-03, Page 23• • Rec board considers requests for grunts The Goderich Recreation Board 'voiced disapproval of requests for grants from two town .organizations at the first fall meeting of the board last Thursday night. y. Lou Legg of the Goderich Art Club, and Bill Reiff of .the Minor , HockeY• Aasociation, ,represented their groups at the meeting and asked the rec 3oard for financial 'assistance for their' fall and winter programs. ' The- Goderich Art Club is in need of• suitable studio space that is large enough for seminar and workshop work as Dwell as:storage of supplies. The club vtreorced tb vacate their. Britannia. Road , headquarters , because that building was not heated. Members of the group have been searching for a suitable location but have been stifled by rent costs. , Mrs. Legg commented that an area school room size would be ideal but the rent cdsts are •too l)gh. The °24 -member club is a nonprofit -•organization. The current bank balance foe' the Art Club is $800, ,,,t.hat Money coming from registration fees over the year. The recreationboard mem- bers felt that the Art Club could 'raise the required funds on their own with very little ef- • fort but tabled any decision un- til a more accurate rent cost.. can be obtained. Bill Reid requested ..the Recreation Board give, the Minor , Hockey Association a • grant to cover the unpaid bills: for ice rental that the group has carried over from last year. The . total amount owing by ' the minor. hockey -is $2,127.42. the group have a, bank 'balance of $1,20.0 of .which they wish to keep $200. • Mr. Reid's proposal was that minor hockey pay $1,090 of the • ' $2,127.42 now and work out an agreement with the Rec Board for the 'remainder. The recreation board offered a $400 a' grant last year. for the' association to 'operate a - coaches' clinic. Mr. Reid suggested they use this money to pay Off some of the ice bill and" wipe the remaining $72.7:42 off the slate in the form of a grant. -. The ' members of the recreation board felt that the • minor 'hockey ,peoiSl.e have many ,methods of raising funds for their operation and .that granting request e uest would g q tend to curb their efforts. A decision 'on the matter was also. tabled until further study of the situation had been -•completed.

'GQOERICH ° 5 2'4-9 recreation board that another karate school has opened in Goderich. Legacy Karate Schools have opened a branch here and are using the arena for their classes. • The school appealed tti the rec "board to• rent their) the arena for $80..00 per month for Iwo classes a week, each one two and one half hours long,. The normal cost of renting the audi'ttiqum is $50.0 a night. but since the room has never' been scheduled in this fashion before, a rental charge has never been ,et. The rec board was hesitant to let the room go at that price but realized that by charging .the normal, fee the school would not open and the local residents interested in the mar- '. tial art would be denied the op- portunity 'to participate, The members agreed 'to ren- ting the auditorium at the suggested rate' but insisted on a contract system. To prevent the loss of funds from renting the room to Legacy .when . it could go for the regular $50, the rec board insisted. that if someone wanted the use of the building on a school night, karate would be pre-empted. The Beach Patrol was° not -.successful this year in com- parison to, 'the ' past. Mike Dymond 'repotted that a staff shortage hampered •the lifeguard operations. Three people manned the beach for most of the summer but ,the season was finished with only two guards to operate the patrol. He expressed hope that next year would be more suc- cessful with the acquisition of the necessary staff. The plans for this year's Santa Claus parade are under-• way and a day long celebration is'planned. November 30 is the date set for the parade. Tenative plans for a Christmas' cartoon show at the theatre in the morning, Santa's court at noorn, and the parade at two in, the afternoon have been made. This year's theme is a Pioneer Christmas, The rec Office hassuggested a ,proposal, for .. charges for" recreation programs. The charges suggested . are to -cover instructor fees that generally, affect the financial success of 'a program. The maximum fee would be- set at ,$5.00 per hour or a flat rate of 50 to 75 percent of registration costs depending° on program.,costs. This system is designed to allow costs of the program to remain 'minimal but .still allow it to break even at the -end of the year. ,The arena manager feported that roller skating has ended for the year. and the gross revenue from the` summer was' •$14,486.60. The figure is up slightly from last year's • ear- ' nings,,The arena is being pain- ted outside' and a ,,new trophy case. is to be. built to -house the trophies for figure skating, minor hockey, and Young Canada Week. The ,rec board approved the purchase of one pair of Pro type oal frames and nets and a pair' of nets for the old frames. Recreation Direc•toir- Mike Dymond reported to the board. that the senior citizens have ap- proached him for assistance in purchasing the old Signal -Star building on West Street.: The elderly have approached Coun- : til •iri this regard , and have asked the director to assist in stressing a need for the pur- chase •and determining what grants are available to them. r• • Stay where you're to, till see's where you're at.
