The new figure is part of the recent government change to the fund- ing scheme. A month ago the village was promised $99,380 through the community recreation centre program which, along with Win- tario, is run by the ministry of culture and recreation. Government grants toward the $420,000 arena and hall complex total $291,046. Construction of the new com- plex is considered to be inexpen- sive since the old building was torn down by volunteers and the new one i¢ going up around the same ice urface. Arena building fund chairman Bill Riehl said that with the government's contribution, the village will need another $25,000 to pay for all the work. The actual construction on the new building should cost about $400,000, he said, but the added $20,000 "will clean everything up". It will pay for furnishings and paving the parking lot, as well as some extras, he said. Some of the money still needed has already been pledged and only needs to be collected. About $3,000 was raised at a walkathon and another $1,000 is coming from a bike-a-thon last month. Fund raising has gone well in Blyth since work began im- mediately after the old arena was closed. The village took a "very positive" approach to the'lund raising. Mr. Riehl said he doesn't think it will take long to find the last $25,000 but he hopes the people in the area don't decide to stop giv- ing'Vvith the goal so close. The arena Is expected to have ice by mid-November and depending on the weather, could be opened December 1. Construction is proceeding on schedule, and concrete is being petwed for the floors this week. vi -Times, Movetellbar 4, > --Paas 7 Bowling CDFRLE KLA" Shirley Stacey bowltld the high -/ single of 305 and high dlaiibie of 574.
