Times-Advocate, 1979-10-24, Page 3 (2)I Arena in Steohen • has busy 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 Stown, Humber, Georgian,' ir Sanford Fleming, Sheridan, Lambton, Niagara, `St. Clair com- munity colleges as well as Centralia Agricultural College, Ridgetown Agricultural College and the,. University of Guelph (diplomaagricultural 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. - Thirteen .LCA charges heard sch dule coaching exp4•ience 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 on 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. The new assistant manager Cam Richardson, his, wife Theresa and 10 month' old daughter • Lisa have taken up residence in Huron Park.

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 area, saying it would not affect lives of people there too much and it could be passed in time to meet the requirement for the BIA to get their $150,000 loan from the provincial government for downtown restoration and beautification.

A HAPPY PAIR — 'seven Rankin and Barbara Mortley had an enjoyable time checking thb numerous toys on display at Thursday's rummage sale sponsored by the South Huron Hospital Auxiliar .._" • Rummageturns profit 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 two out of each group," Mrs. Hodgert said. But she added . that they were able to carry on just the same. Total sales were in comparison with other years, at $3932.20. No expense* have yet been paid. Many of the workers were able to .bring along their husbands, which really helped out in moving some of the large items, Mrs. Hodgert said. Mrs. Hodgert Yeported that ,there was less mer- chandise in this sale, but most of it was of a better quality than at previous sales. , The silent auciton and the regular auction to which Norm Whiting donated his voice were both very popular. Fewer large items were donated for the auction. Mrs. Hodgert speculated that the drop in merchandise was. due to -the numerous' garage sales. Better clothes also sold_ well, as did books and magazines. Donations such as turnips, vegetables and plants added to -the variety of the sale. Left over items were taken to Goodwill Industries in London. Only part of a small truck was filled. • ' Helen Frayne and Helen Hodgert were in charge of the rummage sale, EMMA LAY Emma Adeline.

Police at the scene were equipped with riot gear, including helmets, visors and riot sticks.
