Don't be tricked with your taste, rely on our Prospects for this winter for the new Stephen township arena at Huron Park appear to be quite bright according to manager Frank Funston, Funston told the T-A this week, "Things are shaping up quite satisfactorily and appear to be better than I thought they might be." The township of Stephen took over the arena from the Ontario Development Corporation on September 1 and' the newly appointed arena board hired Funston as manager. Since that time, Cam Stewardson, native of Greenway has been named the assistant arena manager. Stewardson has spent the past years as assistant manager at the St. Clair Beach arena, near Windsor. He has some hockey Career day is scheduled Secondary school students in Huron will have an op- portunity to learn about the programs being offered at several Ontario community colleges at a special program being arranged by Conestoga College.

Despite the fact that workers at the semi-annual rummage sale were not allowed to make purchases in advance, everything "worked out fine", ac- cording to convener Helen Hodgert. Members of the Women's Auxiliary to South Huron Hospital sponsored the sale, and made the ruling that no one be able to purchase items before the public was admitted at 10 o'clock on the day Of the sale. Some ladies feared that there would be a lack of helpers as a result of that rule. "We lost perhaps one or coaching experience and has reached Level 3 in the National Certification Coaching Program. Funston who spent most of his lifetime in the Canadian Armed Forces said prime ice time for the entire winter has been booked except for Saturday and Sunday nights. The Centralia College Saints, Centralia Marauders and Grand Bend Mariners use the arena most Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights for home games. Funston is doubling as coach of the College team, The arena managers plan on operating a power skating school during the month of December when regular Centralia College activities are discontinued for the Christmas holidays. Stewardson said the school would be aimed at young boys who are not in hockey, but, want to learn how to skate. The first session is tentatively set for December 4. To this Funston added, "This type of activity would help not only with added revenues, but, with skating abilities. I would like to get them skating without a stick." A meeting is being held tonight, Wednesday at the Stephen Resource Centre, located behind the Huron Park post office to try and form a figure skating club, If a figure skating club is organized Funston said the time slots would likely be Monday and Wednesday nights before South Huron hockey games. Free ice skating time is provided each Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. for students of the Huron Hope School and area mothers and tots, Public skating is held each Sunday afternoon from 2 to 4 p.m. The Stephen township arena now has one of the only skate contouring machines in this part of the country. Funston stressed that the machine is not a skate sharpener. He continued, "It gives the skate the proper radius lie to increase manoeuvrability and decrease muscle fatigue. In plainer, words it cuts down on , the amount of blade bn • the ice and puts it in the right place. ' He said the proper time to use the radius lie machine would be when a new pair of skates are secured and then possibly once or twice a year.

"Don't let them pull it any farther," Luxton retorted. Jolly then questioned the fact that fines of up to $500 could be levied for each day a property owner failed to meet the dictates of the law after being ordered to do so. He noted that added up to $5,000 in 10 days. Ms. Greb suggested the matter should go to a vote of the people, while Simmons repeated his argument to have it placed only on the area served by the Exeter IBA. After further arguments, followed regarding various aspects, Councillor Don Cameron attempted to get the discussion back on the track. "It's fair to say it's meeting with a little disapproval," he said regarding the bylaw, adding that some of the people appeared to be getting caught up with some red herrings, • He wondered if people were interested in having a Norm Whiting donated his voice were both very popular.
