The club's plans for the first year include purchasing 2.8 acres of land from Lorne Humphrey and landscaping it. The club Wants East Wawanosh to purchase the property near the present arena and is Willing to cover the total cost of the land plus any interest charges that would be incurred. The cost of this land is $40,0001 $15,000 of which Mr. Humphrey is donating., There is a Community Centres grant for 25 per cent of the total cost leaving the actual purchase cost at $15,000. In the ,.second year they plan on moving the baseball diamond over to the newly acquired property. A parking lot would then be situated upon the old ball diatnond in an effort to provide safer and mote convenient parking for the arena patrons. A new side entrance to the arena would be built to comple- ment the 'adjoining parking In the third year, the Kinsmen would build a playground adjacent to the new ball diamond and start planning for a community centre or hall to be erected with ample room left for a number of other recreational facilties such as lawn bowl- ing, tennis . courts, picnic area, and horseshoe pits, The present arena would remain, In a telephone interview, Ken Hopper said the idea for the complex had come about after a year of meetings. Mr. Humphrey had planned to use the land for senior citizens apartments in his subdivision but was turned down. "Once we had some land to work with we tossed around a bunch of ideas. Our main objective now is to get the parking off the high- way," he said. He said they hoped to have the complex started this year and to have most of it done in two or three years. The location of the new complex would be directly south of the existing ball park. Also at the meeting, council accepted the gravel tender of George Radford of Blyth at $1.99 a cubic yard. One other tender was received, that of Joe Kerr of Wingham who gave a. price Of $2.10 a cubic yard-. Tile Drain Loan applica- tions were accepted for Ernest and Annette Lewing- ton, Herbert Oakes and Vernon Sorners. Council also passed a tile drainge loan by- law.
