AIlt 395-2905 STORE 395-2961 Large Crowd At Ripley Information Meeting To Discuss Proposal Of Building 'Swimming Pool With Arena - Complex BY AB WYLDS In the time space of less than two weeks, two special informa- tion meetings for the people of ` Ripley -Huron and surrounding . area have been held in the audi- torium of the Ripley District High School. On Tuesday evening, May 22, the topic under discus- ./ was, a medical centre for the district. 'Last Saturday evening, thine 2, the topic discussed was a new recreation complex build- ing uild-ing to consist of an arena , audi- torium, and indoor Swimming pool. This would replace ,the present Diamond Jubilee arena at the north end of the village. These meetings had similarit- ies and differences as it would be expected. In both cases they were 'called for 8.15 but the crowd did not gather till around nine o'clock. In both cases Riple District High School girls played selections at the piano in this time space. Last Saturday even- ing it was Miss Joan Ferguson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lester • Ferguson, while at the first meeting the pianist was Miss. Margie MacKay, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Allister MacKay. The size of the crowd in attend- ance ttend-ance was about the same. And Well over half were the same citiz ens of the area. Also: the two meetings -were similar' in structure: The main speaker at this second meeting was the deputy reeve of Huron. Township, Bob Emerson of Purple Grove. In his calm and considered manner Bob presented an amazing: amount of informa- tion, nforma=tion, speaking straight ahea• with out reference notes. After t nk- ing Joan for playing he elco ed those attending and pointed' out that the nice day and evening had delayed the start of the meeting. He outlined briefly the steps lead- ing to the meeting. :Bob stated that when they were making re- pairs last fall in preparation for the hockey and skating season; arena replacement was first men- tioned., Serioustalk started in January. The arena was built in the fall of 1927 the first metal rink in this part of Western Ontario. -The year. 192.7 was the 60th year of Confederation and the rink was this area's special project. We remember Lucknow's project was paving the.r;nain- street -of the business section. Bob said that they con- cluded that it would be a major expenditure to renovate the pres- ent arena to make its facilities comparable to the newer arenas of the present day. Committees were formed and some arenas were visited. One which seemed to • impress them was the new one at Parkhill. He stated that while the mem- bers of parliament for 'the area were unable to be at the meeting, both Ross Whicher and Murray Gaunt had called on Saturday 'assuring them of their support. He stated that the three surround- ing townships - Kincardine, Kin- loss and Ashfield had favourably received"their proposals. Grants and operational costs were discus- sed. iscus-sed. The figure mentioned for the whole complex was $450,000, The new time clock presented by the Ripley District Lions Club and . the ice making plant, would be used in the new building. He , mentioned that while the cost might seem high, it is the same as the estimated cost of rebuild- ing ebuild-ing the paved road known as the 15th from Highway 86 to Highway 9. Bob introduced the two commit tees which have been working together on this project during the winter - for Ripley Mrs. Marg Rouse, Rod MacDonald, Dave 'Henderson and chairman :Kenny MacDonald, and for Hur- on Township, Elmer Courtney. Bert Elliott, John D. MacKay, chairman Allan Irwin and of course Bob himself. Considerable information was given on the in- door pool. The nearest one is in Owen Sound and in talking to the operators there they mentioned people driving from the Kincardine -and Goderich areasthi past winter touse the pool there. He drew attention to the fact that ballots were distributed and boxes were placed at the three exits•to the gym for an opinion poll. PAGE ELEVEN Former Resident Died At Age 95 IC MRS.
