Brussels liquor vote Monday • There's an election in Brussels on Monday, but the campaign hasn'fbeen a hot and heavy one. Brussels voters will go to the polls, at the Brussels Library from 9 to 5 and 7 to 9, to decide if they favour the sale of liquor, wine and beer in a licenced lounge. • The advance poll will be held on Saturday, at the municipal office from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. The dispute between the Brussels Curling Club and the •coMmiftee for the Brussels, Grey and Morrii Community Centre moved closer to a solution at a meeting of the two groups in Brussels Thursday night. Building committee chairman Jim Prior answered curlers' charges that the new arena would not provide for their needs, The main areas of contention are the question of a private club room for the curlers, and the cost of ice time. • Plans for the new arena do not provide for a private curling club room. Mr. Prior told the curlers that under the terms of the Wintario grant structure, all parts of the must be open to,all members the community. In lengthy discussions, Mr. Prior assured the curlers that the meeting room in the new arena could be used under controlled _circumstances only, and that When not-in use; the room would remain locked. He also stressed that plans for the building are not rigid, and that' lockers could be provided in the meeting room for the storage of curling club equipment. Curling Club spokesman Murray Hoover sought assurances that the cost of ice time in the new building would not put the facility out of reach for the curling club. • Mr. Prior said that while operating costs could not be known at this time, charges for ice time would be kept as low as possible. The curling ;Oh currently pays $10 per hour for ice time in the old arena and Mr. Prior estimated that charges in the new arena would be approximately $15 per hour for the curling club. A member of the curling club asked about the possibility of adding four sheets of ice to the side of the building. Mr Prior said that because tenders are out on the proposed building, any major alterations in the plan would be impractical.' He also stressed that the construction of that much more ice space would alter the ' terms of the award from Wintario, and would mean a far larger expense to the community. He said taht the )ice making plant is large enough to accomodate sheets of curling ice however, and that they could be added in the future if money could be raised for their construction. Mr. Prior told the curlers "We've given you about all the assurances we can." A curling club member said "If we can curl on an hourly rate at the new arena the same as in 'the old one, I dont think there will by any problems." Though no firm decisions were reached by the curling club, it was felt that both sides had moved closer to a solution. Mr. Prior asked the curlers to consider the building committee's proposals and to seek another meeting when .they reached any firm conclusions, or if further discussion were needed,
