Reeve McCutcheon assured the meeting that Brussels council is behind the new arena committee "100 percent. The site, as far as I'm concerned, has been accepted." There has been some contro- versy about the arena site, in the south east corner of the village, with some people, including the reeve, originally, favouring a site at the Brussels fairgrounds. Because the arena committee felt there was a duplication of costs, Mr. Prior said they have severed their connection with Piersoti Buildings Ltd., after paying $5000 for preliminary drawings. He said the committee hopes to tender on the pre- engineered steel building. For technical advice, they have retained B.M. Ross and Associates of Goderich, to oversee construction. To continue with Pierson would have cost about $30,000, Mr. Prior said. The $600,000 figure for the new arena includes property, access, the ice plant, parking and the building, which will have the ice surface, an auditorium and dressing rooms all on one floor. Clearing up some confusion in the arena brochure in last week's Post, Mr. Prior assured the meeting that there will be only one auditorium, more than twice the size of the Legion which will hold about 400 people, according to L.C.B.O. regulations. In answer to a question from Murray Bray, Mr. Prior said an elevator was included in the plans so that handicapped and elderly people will have access to a second floor viewing area over the ice surface. "We hope everybody can use the arena," he said. Reeve McCutcheon commented that making provision for the handicapped in public buildings is going to become regulation shortly, "Now is the time to do it," he said,. Jack Bryans and. Reeve McCutcheon both expressed concern about the fact that only about 40 people attended the meeting. "Does lack of attend- ance mean support or are people talking against it (the new arena) on the street corners?", the Reeve asked. Most of those at the meeting appeared to be in favour of the new building, but they had questions about details. Many agreed with Mr. Bryans when he said "it's got to be done for the good of the Brussels area." He pointed out. that more than half a million dollars was being spent and the committee had to look far ahead. "I can't see us sitting back and not building an arena when grants are the way they are now,' commented Gordan Workman. $150,000 for the new building should come in grants under the Community Centres Act, Mr. Prior said. Wintario will pay $2 for every $1 raised locally up to the estimated cost of repairing the old arena. That money can be applied to building the new one and then on the balance of the cost, Wintario will donate $1 for every $1 raised locally. Total Wintario grants should be $187,500. . If $150,000 is raised -locally, the new arena will qualify for $187,500, Mr. Prior said in answer to a question about whether the whole $237,500 has to be raised in order to get the Wintario funds. Grey township councillor Barb Dunbar asked about proposed operating costs at the new arena. Committee chairman Prior said that although they'll be up, it is expected, that income from the new arena will also increase. In Tharnesford, where there's similar arena, they found that income was above operating costs after a. year. Mrs. Dunbar replied, that perhaps Thamesford was a differ- ent sort of community than Brussels. Arena (Continued from Page 1) seriously questioned the advisability of repairing the old arena, built in 1931, he said. "People should know that the old., arena is only open by grace, because a new one is being built," said Rev. Ken Innes, a member of the audience. In Grey (Continued from Page 1)' councillor, says he will run for office again.He's been on council for about 10 years and says he hasn't heard any word on whether. or not there will be an election. The entire McKillop council was acclaimed to office two years ago. Art Anderson, a McKillop councillor for• eight years, says he's still undecided about running again. The& has been quite a bit of pressure on him to run for reeve but "I don't have time for that," Mr Anderson said. He commented that although he's enjoyed his years on council, it's difficult ' to get to night meetings when he has cows to milk first.
