Rpc Board recornmends new assistant manager • (continued from page 1) Russell ,Pruder had been mentioned as a possible assistant manager to be trained for the job. Deb Shewfelt, then reeve, told counciliqhat Pruder had worked hard at.the arena as a rinlyrat and wanted the job badly. -Pete -McCauley, arena committee , member asked. council ,why theycontinually referred to Pruder. He said. there were , many other names on the list of applicants who could be considered for the job. Councillor Elsa Haydon told council that it appeared to her that , tlie position was to be readvertised and readvertised "until Russell Pruder gets the job". The committee was in- structed to call for applicants a third time And recommend someone. to council. They did so, suggesting.Pruder be hired. . Council concurred with no hesitation, hiring.him ipJune of 1973. One year later the board showed some , concern that Pruder was not , capable of managing the arena upon Bill 'Lumby's departure. In a report to the board, Mike Dymond, the town's recreation . director, recomnA ed to the board that the ass ista manager be given three months probation and failing an improvement in his attitude and work habits, he be given one month's notice. The director said that the assistant's handling of specific responsibilities during a ,cer- tain shift period has been somewhat short of satisfactory. He added that the cleanliness of the building during the year has been cOcized on many Oc- casions and. that the work load of manager, supposedly redUCTM, with the hiring of an assistant, had remained un- Mrs. Rivera was allowed to call changed since.Pruder's hiring.

Council, after more, bitter debate ,on the issue, suggested to the board that they leave Pruder.in the position he holds and hire a manager to operate on theearne level as Bill Lumby with the intention of taking over the arena on Lumby's depar- ture. be hired, demoting Pruder to third man. The 1975 edition of the rec board consists of "many members not involved with the two year old controversy. The council representatives on the board had been in a meeting with the rec director, Lumby and Pruder, and ha been been- in- volved with the decision to hire a manager. Councillor Bob Allen told the board that Mr. Lumby had agreed that a manager be hired to take over when he retired and that he had no qualms about working with a co- manager. Allen said that he thought counell' was requested to ,hire a qualified man to operate the arena and that no concern should be had over the title of the job. He added the cotiNicil decision did not reduce Lumby's salary, benefits or responsibilities. The rec board was, of the opinion that., a lateral move suggested by council would be a Kidnapper ...

' "There was nothing I could do," Rivera said. "I checked with the police every day but all I could do was wait." , Periodically Valencia would call members of Rivera's family .but police were unable to trace the calls or pinpoint a location. klowever portant thing was that Rivera learned that hie" wife *as unharmed. On one occasion The board in an 'out of order' discussion agreed with the suggestion. The decision was • made at a special meeting to review tenders for Judith Gooderham pool, to agree with council and hire a manager. Under the procedural bylaw . a ' special meeting is specifically for the discussion of the subject it was called for. The Rec Board was out of order discussing the arena situation and consequently .had to delay their decision until the regular rec board meeting last Thur- sday. During that period they •had a change of heart and again recommended that an assistant slap in the face for the arena manager and that he would not sty on with the town if a manager was hired., Board member John Doherty told the group that Lumby had phoned. him, concerned over the "reclassification. He said that the manager would quit rather than take a demotion but was willing to train a man to take over. Emily Crew told the board she thought that Lumby was staying on at the arena as a favor to the town. She said Lumby was concerned that Pruder couldn't manage the arena and that the manager was willing to stay on to train a new man. Councillor Allen argued that the board was grinding an axe that was a year old. He said it was the consensus of nine people talking to Lumby that he was willing to make the lateral move. He added that council gathered from the board arid the manager, both that the problem was getting 'a man qualified to run the arena upon the manager's leaving. "1 think the old prQb1eIof council and the rec. board not until she agreed to move back , with him. During the motor trip Mrs. Rivera told her husband that they drove all day and a' good part of the night, sleeping , only four or five hours. `..`1 -le drove around not really knowing what to do," Rivera said, "but I think he would have continued driving until he got her back." - While they, were driving, through heavily populated areas or sleeping in parking lots at night, Mrs. Rivera was ordered to remove the licence plates from ,the car to prevent detection. The plates had been removed from the car when Constable Crew ran a routine check on Highway 21. Mrs. Rivera had been instructed to lie again in, case she was questioned but Constable Crew received the information on the warrant before talking to Mrs. Rivera. For the Riyera's Goderich was admittedly 'too cold' but the caoperation of the police and toWnsr people more than. made up for unseasonable weather. The Riveras intended to flyhome Monday night and . return to their normal lifestyle with perhaps a few days off to recover. "As soon as we get home I will take my wife and daughter tothe doctor," Rivera said, `.`,but I don't think anything has changed things will be the same." se4 SPEED QUEEN extra 'is capacity STAINLESS STEEL TUB Smooth, rust=proof, chip-prOof stainless steel tub is ideal for the proper care of washable ' knits and durable press fabrics and will last the lifetime of the washer.

Board member Lynn Meyers suggested that no direction'is being given the arena per- sonnel from the town. He said that possibly Lumby wasn't giving direction to Pruder or that the arena committee wasn't demanding •anything of ..the arena personnel. He said if no one is telling Lumby and Pruder what to do, then neither of the two staff members can be - blamed for the present situation, "Sounds to me like there's too many 'chlefS and, not enough IndiansC quipped Meyers. Mary Donnelly said she could not see 'booting' a man, out of the arena after he had done an excellent.job of running it for 15 years, She said she thought Bill Luinby was more interested in the tile of arena manager than the money involved. Lynn Meyers asked why the board was so concerned over what to call the new man. He said the main concern for the applicant will probably be the money he is paid, not his title. "As long as the stipulation is that he take over 'when the manager leaves and he is' getting paid weIl for the job who cares what we call him,— said Moyers. Bob Allen reminded the board that council wanted a man for the job that is qualified regardless of his title. They didn't want ia 'man that could not live up to the managerial, position. The board decided ,to recommend to council again that an assistant manager be hired with, at least a year's Harbor report • April 22 the tugboat Lake Erie came April 23 the , E.B.
