The grants total $332,033.50 and were ap- proved under the 1987/88 Participation Development Program of the $4.4 million Best Ever Ontario Program. "This funding will help community amateur sports groups attract new par- ticipants of all ages by adding services, improving opportunities and providing training in more than 20 different sports," Eakins said. 'A major grant of $20,000 will be provided to the Timmins Therapeutic Riding Association to provide participation oppor- tunities for disabled persons in ,10 surroun- ding communities. The Town of Leamington will receive $10,000 to hire an aquatic coach who will develop swim teams,. and master level, synchro and Special Olympics programs. Introductory basketball clinics will be provided to the Moira Trojan Basketball Camp with a grant of $9,750. The funds will support the clinics attended by boys and girls in 10 small communities in the Belleville area. The Woodbridge Soccer Club will receive $3,492 to promote girl's and women's soccer in the York region, north of Toronto. The funds will also be used for instruction, formation of teams and tournaments. The Dryden Golf and Curling Club will benefit from a $5,000 grant to conduct an eight-week introductory course of training and touring competitions covering the areas of Dryden, Red Lake, Falcon Lake and Kenora. Male and female youths, aged 8-16 will be introduced to the game of golf. Other sports activities to receive finan- cial support include curling, tennis, scuba diving, kayaking, cycling, synchronized swimming and cricket. "Participation development grants en- sure that amateur athletes in even the most isolated Ontario communities get the chance to develop their talents," Eakins said. Regionally, southwest Ontario will receive $91,665 for nine projects; central Ontario $90,204 for 15 projects; northeast Ontario $60,449.50 for six projects; eastern Ontario $51, 330 for five projects; and nor- thwest Ontario $38,385 for four projects.

Vessels are now bigger, faster, -safer and . more efficient. But with their greater size, today's commercial ships have access to fewer ports than they did. As a result, the ports also are different to what they were in the 30s and 40s. A 1940 copy - of "Canadian. Ports and Shipping Directory" contains some interesting in- formation about facilities in Great Lakes and maritime ports throughout Canada. Readers with access to current data might be able to draw comparisons between then and now. The directory featured only commercial ports. Goderich, Kincardine and Southampton were included, but not Bayfield. As a fishing village, it probably didn't qualify as a place where commer- cial cargoes would be loaded or discharged. Goderich was considered a transfer point for grain as well as safe winter quarters for lake steamers. Trade was mainly the import of grain and coal, with exports of grain and package freight. The town was served by post office, telephone and telegraph and its port authority was the federal Department of Transport, represented locally by harbormaster Nor- man MacKay. Accommodation for ships was in the ar- tificial harbor enclosed by breakwaters, the directory explained. The harbor basin (the inner harbor) provided berthing space along three sides, about 6,300 feet overall with 2,200 feet having a water depth of 22.5 feet. . The Goderich Elevator and Transit Company Ltd., as it was known then, had a capacity of 3,500,000 bushels in its grain elevator. Western Canada Flour Mills had 650,000 bushels capacity in its elevator. For grain handling, these facilities had four marine legs, one marine spout and ;even car shipping spouts. The harbor also -d freight sheds measuring 500 feet long ar-; 40. feet wide. THE CHIPWATCHER EI By Dick With The channel into the harbor, with 22.5 foot depth at its normal- stage, had accom- modated a ship drawing as much as 22 feet. (Even in high water, isn't that a bit close for a skipper to cut it?) As of 1940, the largest vessel to berth at Goderich was CSL's Donnacona, 604 feet long by 59.2 feet wide by 27.8 feet deep, and 8,611 tons gross. In 1938-39 the harbor was dredged "so that any full loader steamer can berth at wharves." Under normal conditions, tugs weren't necessary for berthing, although„both tugs and "gas boats” were available. (Was the MacDonald fleet in service then?) Gas boats, incidentally, charged $2 per hour for towing: Goderich was a port of entry in 1940, where customs officers boarded vessels. from foreign ports. Being wartime, there were probably only occasional visitors from the U.S. side. Ships' fuel availability was limited to fuel and diesel oil delivered in tank trucks. No bunker coal was on hand at the port. Although it had no drydock, Goderich was said to have good repair shops. Chandlers listed were C.C. Lee, Thomas Sandy and Dominion Roads Machinery Co. G.L. Par- sons served as a shipping agent/broker. There was an impressive list of snipping companies said to be serving the port. They were: ' Canada Steamship Lines, Paterson Steamship Co., Algoma Central, Sarnia' Steamship Lines, Great Lakes 'Transit Co. ". ..and many others — mostly between Goderich and Fort William -Port Arthur."
