Council had originally decided to build a new office in conjunction with the Belgrave Kinsmen’s pro­ posed reconstruction of the Bel­ grave Arena front, which was announced last spring. Plans for this project included new wash­ rooms, change rooms, kitchen and community hall facilities and view- Organization wants volunteer ing area. The township purchased a house adjacent to the property with the original intent being to tear it down to make way for an entrance to the arena’s new parking lot. After viewing the building, however, Council decided earlier this month that it was in excellent shape and too good to simply demolish it. Also, moving the office into the renovated house, would, they esti­ mated, be a fiscally sound move, though how much money will be saved is unknown until the budget is completed. Last May, when the township and the Kinsmen announced the plans for the arena renovation each had agreed to pay a portion of the project based on square footage of space. The township’s share of the $470,000 project was estimated at about $180,000 for 1,750 square feet of office space. The plan required the purchase of the house for $80,000. Renovations, which would possi­ bly be carried out by township staff, include building a fireproof vault and utility room, making the building wheelchair accessible, and changing the interior to accommo­ date an open concept office and council chamber. Belgrave Kinsmen were notified of the decision at the January 8 meeting of council and said that this will not affect the club’s plan to reconstruct the arena.

The program involves three near life-size puppets, Joanne, Stephen, and Nam, who perform a skit dealing with an issue that could affect our youngsters. The disabled trio will be performing the play “Hotline” in public and separate schools to enlighten students about physical and sexual child abuse. The three will answer questions from the children after the perfor­ mance. Two puppets have been purchas­ ed from HCCCACC and another is being borrowed from the Huron County Board of Education. Other topics that have been dealt with by the Kids on the Block troupe in the past have included educational differences and dis­ abilities. Pauline Lingard, program facili­ tator is looking for 15-20 volunteers to help begin the program. Infor­ mation on child abuse and puppe­ teer training will be provided for volunteers. Anyone interested is asked to leave a message at HCCCACC office, 524-5461. JOIN US FOR A PRE-ANNIVERSARY HERITAGE A A DTV WAWANOS I I TOWNSHIP ■ ■ ■ 1867-1992 SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 2-4 P.M.
