Stanley municipal complex functIoaI and attractive
Stanley Township's new western outskirts of Varna is
municipal complex on the rapidly nearing completion,
The large community centre
and superbly equipped kit-
chen have already been used
to host the Varna* United
Church's annual pork
barbecue and a pot luck din-
ner for the Stanley Seniors.
The centre proved so at-
tractive at the barbecue that
organizers had a difficult
time persuading the first 1pt
of diners to leave its airy,
conditioned comfort to make
way for others waiting their
turn outside in the hot sun.
MP Murray Cardiff was
guest of honour at the Seniors'
dinner. He presented presi-
dent Elmer Hayter with a
Dental Retirement

ohegttl for =10,706 u1der the
New liorizons program. The
club has used the money to
purchase a piano, a stereo, six
partitions, 100 of the bright
orange stacking chairs, 100
more of the more than 300
place settings now stacked in
wheejed dollies in the kitchen
and a 100 -cup coffee perc. Still
to come are two shuffleboard
courts. -
• The hall is high enough for.
games of basketball or
volleyball, and big enough to
serve as an indoor tennis
court. Bob Simpson,
Vanastra, painted the mural,
township crest and depiction
of male and female athletes in
action that adorn the walls.
The kitchen's facilities are
on a par with those in a com-
mercial or industrial
establishment. Stainless steel
is everywhere. The stove has
four ovens, two elements and
a large ' hot top. The
dishwasher will process a full
tray of dirty dishes in one
minute. The walk-in cooler is
also accessible from the bar
on the other side of one wall.
The hall and kitchen are
adequately equipped to serve
food to 350, and the centre is
licenced for 366.
The spacious, airy
municipal offices are as func-
tional as they are attractive.
Visitors stepping through the
double set of doors face an
elegant brick and polished
wood.counter. The many win-
dows are covered with ver-
tical blinds. Earth tones of
beiee. taune. rust and dark
brown supply the colour
scheme.
Stanley reeve Paul Steckle
said council hopes to hold its
August meeting in the elegant
new council chamber. The
magnificient council table
was hancrafte(ton the site by
chief carpenter Murray Gar-
ret, who was also responsible
for the handsome cupboards
and shelves in the library and
kitchen. He made the doors
for the bar refrigerator, too,
covering them with left -over
butcher block veneer.
Records rresentl stored in
the western Utli y ar-
chives will be bmOt beck
and placed in the vault room
which has space for
thousands of files, and tables
and chairs for those wanting
to search through old records.
Separate offices are provid-
ed for the clerk and the reeve.
Clerk Mel Graham says from
Wall mural
now on the township's auditor
–will be able to work on the
books right at the municipal
office, rather than taking
them away from the former
cramped quarters.
One still Vacant room could
be used for small meetings,
and as a library. A petition
asking Local residents if they
wanted a library resulted in
affirmative signatures filling
four foolscap pages.
A small kitchenette com-
pletes the air-conditioned
municipal offices.
The dominant feature in the
five -bay work garage is the
overhead crane capable of
travelling the entire length of
the building. The works
department will be able to
service and maintain all
township equipment. Along
one side are the mechanical
room with water heaters and
softeners and the electrical
control panel for the entire
complex, a supply and age
room, a washroom, a lunch
room, and a large office for
the roads superintendent.
The complex is protected
by an elaborate security
system. Every entrance must
be opened by special- keys
which turn off the intruder
alarm within 30 to 60 seconds.
Anyone managing to get
through the doors into the
municipal office would im•
mediately be .oa "candid
camera", and would trigger
the siren on the roof. A blue
light on the roof would also
activate, telling passersby of
a burglar inside. A compa-
nion red light will light up in
case of fire.
The phone, system is con-
nected internally to enable
phones to be answered
anywhere within the complex
when necessary.
The design engineers had
estimated a total cost of
;600,000. Labour costs stayed
close to the $300,000 covered
by a federal COED grant, but
estimates for material prov-
ed unrealistic. The total cost
was over $1,000,000. Steckle
will provide council with com-
plete figures at their next
meeting.
The sum of $38,000 which
the engineers had allowed for
supervision of construction by
their firm, was saved when
council decided to do it
themselves. Graham and
Steckle were at the building
site almost every day, and
members of council donated
countless hours of their time
to the project.
"I never dreamed we'd get
a building like this", Steckle
said admiringly. "We took no
shortcuts - tile is straight, it's
well wired, the workmanship
is superior. The tradesmen
took great pride in what they
did.
"We got what we wanted.
The community centre is big-
gei than intended.
Aesthetically and service -
wise, Stanley's new municipal
complex will accommodate
most of the needs of the sur-
rounding community."
The complex will be of-
ficially opened during the an-
nual township Labour Day
celebrations, which this year
will also incorporate the com-
munity's Bicentennial
festivities. Friday evening an
$8 ticket will pay for a seat at
a banquet, and two hours of
entertainment afterward by
the Paul Brothers from
Kirkton and local performers.
Saturday morning will
begin with Na pancake
breakfast from 7:00 to 10:00
a.m. The ribbon -cutting
ceremony will begin at 2:00
p.m., attended by federal,
provincial and MTC represen-
tatives, officials from
neighbouring municipalities
and counties, and the public.
A wine and cheese reception
will follow.
Mozart's Melody Makers
will play for a dance Saturday
evening.
Sunday will begin with a
community church service,
• continue throughout the after-
noon with competitive ball
games, and be topped off with
the annual whole roast pig
barbecue and potluck dinner.
The weekend activities will
close with what Graham

"magic in the sky"
The celebrations sound like
a suitable way to officially
christen a champagne -calibre
municipal complex that
township residents will enjoy
for many years. And if they
brag a bit, who can blame
them!
