.4 The Canadian Champion, Wednesday, Jan, 26,1977 Speak up now, or The location and financing of Multons second ice surface promises Ici ho a hotly debated item an Milton Councils agenda next week--Monday, Jan. 31. Since the old Armstrong Arena on Brown St. was ordered closed by the provincial Minislry of Labor last summer, a new ice surface han been a cantraversial subject. Now cauncil, at Mayor Don Grdons insistence. plans ta lay al of 1the proposaIs an the table, study thema tharaughly, and try ta make a decision. Such decîsians dont come easily, and shatever is decided probably sont suit everyone. There are several alternatives open ta cauncil and propanents af one r 1the thcr choice are sure ta make their feelings knawn. The 1976 Caunicil thought il had made the final decision an the arena questian, when il vted ta toil Mennrial Arena an Thompsan Rd. Thal plan was thwarted, haseever when (a) tenders came în away above the ariginal estimates, and lb) a 1,000-name petitian urged cauncil ta restare the Brawn St. rink. The whole arens questian was put away in mothhalls late last fal and the approaching electian prohably had a lt ta do with that. Cauncil ha since listed f ive apen alternatives -twinning Memorial, temporarily renavating Arm strong,campletely rehuitding Arm- strong, ar building a new arena on either the fair graunds or high schaol property. Anther al- ternative, that wauld use a tasen- owned site an Steeles Ave., also lurks in the hackgroundl. Cauncil is almost unanimous an anly ane thing, that a second ice surface is necessary. But there sre some wha still arent yet convinced twa arenas are needed. iAfter almost a full winter of operatian an the one-rink system, it might 1e interesting toa asess the resulta and see juat how hadly a second arena 10 deemed tahbe necessory.) There are same citizens pro- moting the twinning of Memorial Arena, sehile thers lobby for the Brawn SI. site. Those groups are sure ta ho heard fram, and council ha invited comments fram or- ganizations and citizens an each af the propasals. But sehal cof the majority of taxpayers, thase stay-at-homes who dont join arganized labbies but may also hase definite vies o n the second ice surface quandary? Many answered a Champion opinion pol, published at 1the suggestion of former Mayar Anne MacArthur, and the majarity of respondents favored rebuitding Armstrong Arena. The hest way ta 1e heard is ta write down your opinions and forward them o t council. But do it now, Next week is 100 late. Two miles tones Two of Milons service clubs Ihis monlh marked important mile- tones in cammunity service. The Optimiat Club tof Milton lasI week celehraled itsl 111 anniver- aary and this week a ig "30 years" graces the cake aI 1the Rotary Club of Miltonas birthday parly. Milton is indeed fortunale ta have two such dedicaled social rgani- zationa wrking hand in hand wilh 1the communily. Each, in ils asen way, conîrihulea hesvily 10111e life- style of Milton. Rotarians sere, for many years, 1the anîy avenue of club fellawahip and service in Milon. Since then 11e Kinsmen, Lions and Optîmis have ffered others a chance for service in 11011 general and apecial- ized areas. We're nat f orgetling the Legion, 1the Masonic Lodge, the IODE and other somenas groupa either, although t1e latter are more specialized in memhoership and avenues of warb than the "service clubs". 1 i ,.- A special fealure published last week detailed the aima and progresof 1the Opimists, and this week The Champion spotlighl taras la the Rtarians.
