After the outdoor ritual,

little township hall, away
from overcast skies and a stiff
breeze.
In his introductory remarks
Reeve Steckle credited past
reeves and many others
behind the scenes whose com-
bined efforts had. made the
project a reality. Since the
first meeting with the
engineering firm last May, a
great deal of activity had
been compressed into a very
short time. Steckle said
Stanley's complex is unique in
the way it has combined a
community centre, a work
centre and municipal offices.
Speaking next, MP Murray
Cardiff said sometimes the
usefulness of governemnt fun-
ding can be questioned, but
not in this case. The building
now going up will serve pre-
sent and future generations,
employ area people during its
construction, and will be
something everyone will be
very proud of.
MPP Jack Riddell agreed
with his federal counterpart,
and said if governments were
going to contribute, he was
pleased the Stanley project
was one of those approved.
His only concern is that the
complex "will be operated
and maintained without put -

who build it and those who
will use it. She said the
township has a tradition of
community responsibility,
and even if people don't all
agree on an enterprise, pnce
it starts, "people get behind it
and it goes."
She said in Stanley the past
has tremendous value and is
treated with respect,while
the future is filled with pro-
mise and change. She con-
gratulated all involved, and
expressed her anticipation in
watching the building grow,
and said the church will share
as it is infused with life.
Summing up, Steckle said
he was glad to see local peo-
, ple involved in both the con-
struction acid supplying of
material for the centre. Mur-
ray Garrett, Clinton and
Harold DeVries, Exeter, have
been hired to supervise the 35
workers hired through' Man-
power. Steckle said whenever
prices are comparable, pur-
chases are made in the im-
mediate area.
, In closing, the Reeve said
"this building will only be as
good as we allow it to become
by our cooperation. I hope no
one group takes credit, and
that everyone will say 'it is
ours"'.
Steckle is interpreting the
coincidental receipt that day
of the first COED cheque, for
$74,000 as a good omen.
ting undue hardship on the
people in the riding", and is
sure it will be.
Immediate past reeve Tom
Consitt said the setting aside
of money for the new centre
had begun some time ago, as
the need for a new hall been
recognized for quite a while.
Looking around the hall, he
said if the new one lasts as
well, it will be there for a long
time.
Engineer Ken Jarvela com-
mented that when he was first
contacted, he envisioned a
new building in 1984 or 1985.
Once things began to move,
council wanted drawings in
four to six weeks to submit for
the COED application. He
wants to be invited hack for
the official opening, then he
will know "the job was wet!
done".
Federal COED represen-
tatives Jan Richardson was
also astonished at the swift-
ness of events, and "still
shocked at the quick ap-
proval". She said she was
very impressed with the way
council had handled the af-
fair, and conveyed best
wishes from Lloyd Axworthy,
minister of employment and
immigration.
Rev. Wilena Brown made
some very fitting comments
before asking God's blessing
on the new centre, on those
