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.
Students, parents,
teachers and counsellors are
welcome to attend the event
scheduled for Wednesday,
November 7 at Central
Huron Secondary School in
Clinton.
Career information will be
provided by Conestoga,
Fanshawe, Mohawk, George
grown, Humber, Georgian,-A'
Sir Sanford Fleming,
Sheridan, Lambton,
Niagara, St. Clair com-
munity colleges as well as
Centralia Agricultural
College, Ridgetown
Agricultural College and the
University of Guelph
(diploma agricultural
program).
The program runs from
5:00 to 10:00 p.m. and there
will be special presentations
by the colleges from 7:00 to
10:00.
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.

Mrs. Hodgert reported
that there Was less mer-

Luxton commented, saying
the senior levels of govern-
ment were using the bylaw
as a lever,
"They pull the lever,"
Merner replied.
"Don't let them pull it any
farther," Luxton retorted.

fact that fines of up to $500

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

was due to the numerous

At that point, Merner said
the planning board would
have to study the bylaw
again and could either
decide to make changes or
scrap it entirely before
passing the matter back to
council.
Again, Simmons urged
that it be considered for only
the downtown commerical
