"If we fix the roof, the fund-raising will be done for sure. The lottery and the ser- vice clubs have made pledges as long gs it goes to a new arena," he said: "Temporarily shelved" The Arena :card, citing Lucknow's financial commitment to a new sewage system in the village, issued a press release in October stating "the prpposed new arena for Lucknow has been tem- porarily shelved." Arena Board Chairman Jim Boyle said the decision was made to put the project on hold at the board's last meeting on October 15 because of the uncertainty surrounding the sewer project in Lucknow. "Every angle has been discussed. We decided to put the project on hold and see what they (Lucknow) could, come • up with," said Mr. Boyle. The Arena Board would like to set a date for a new arena within the next one to two years, the press release concluded. Arena plans shelved in '86 Committee to stay active In November, the Fund-raising Commit- tee for the proposed new arena decided to stay active, at least until January, after the committee met at the Lucknow Arena on November. 12. A total of eight members., of the fund- raising committee attended the meeting to determine the fate of the committee. Walter Arnold, Chairman of the Arena Fund-raising Committee, said he would re- main as the chairman and the committee would remain intact until January 1, 1987. He said the committee would wait and see if a committment would be forthcoming from Lucknow village council after the funding situation for the Lucknow sewers was resOlved. "They (village council) are missing a prime opportunity to obtain a facility that would facilitate more than just hockey players. It would appeal to a broader spec- trum° of people in Lucknow and are and would• be utilized far more than it is to- day," said Mr. Arnold. He said he was disappointed with Lucknow council's decision not to finan- cially support the new arena, but he was sympathetic with the village's priority in constructing the sewage system. • • 3rd BIG WEEK • ... At tie committee meeting, Ken Hamilton presented the members with the hank balance of the fundraising effort to date. He said a total of $48,457 was current- ly in the bank with the lottery fund sitting at approximately $36,000 for a totalof $84,457. Pledges totalling $40,500 have yet to be collected. Some meMber's expressed doubt that these pledges would be col- lected if a commitment was not forthcom- ing from•Lucknow council. • No government funding In June of this year, the Lucknow Arena Board planned to proceed with the con- struction of the new arena despite its . failure to obtain provincial grants to fund the project. At a June 18 meeting, the Lucknow Arena Board which includes, represen- tatives from the four municipalities which operate.the arena, instructed Art Clark of Maitland Engineering Services Ldt. to prepare the proposal documents for a pro- posal call from contractors in September, followed by interviews with three contrac- tors who express interest in the project. The contract is to be awarded in January, 1987, giving the contractors two months to prepare the finished plans with approval of the final drawings by March, of 1987. Con- struction is to start in May of next year. Clark said in an interview, phase 1 of the project calls for, the construction of the front end service area and dressing rooms and phase 2 is the construction of the arena shell over the existing arena floor as money becomes available. The third phase of the project is to complete the expansion of the arena floor when money is available. The arena board and its fund-raising committee have been unable to raise the local share of the funds for the project to qualify for the provincial funding through g capital grant for new recreation facilities. The fund-raising campaign laun- ched last July has raised $140,000 to date including the money pledgedby local ser- vice clubs and community organizations, money donated through "a door-to-door canvass last November, conducted by the Lucknow Lions Club which is spearheading the fund-raising and the pro- ceeds from the Jamboree '83 celebration which were earmarked for this project. According to C.M. Bud Britton, recrea- tional consultant with the Hanover recrea- tion office of the Ministry of Recreation and tourism , a capital grant for new recreational facilities was available in May of 1986, but Lucknow was unable to raise its share of the funding and could not apply for the grant. The grant would have funded 331/3 per cent of the project which left Lucknow's share at $600,000 since the project is estimated to cost $900,000. 0001111C14 524.7111 • • SAT. 7 & 915 • • • 0 • 1 • • 1 • • • • • • 00 0 0 • :1 • • • • • • • • • FRI • THE FATE OF THE FUTURE UES HIDDEN IN THE PAST/ SOMEWHERE ON EARTH...1986. 8 PARENTAL GUIDANCE Of PAFIAMOUNT PICTURES CORPONAT1ON sun TREK ISA REGIBTE RED TRADEMARK 1111IMIN 1)1 [ • "4 COPYFOONT t 140 BY PARAMOUNT PICTURES dORPORATION ALL RIGHTS O 6 BSERVER 14.414.4V • • it • • TUESDAY $2.50 SUN.
