6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, January 21, 1976 Section New Bewdley Arena Makes $7,000 The Vincent Massey arena in Bewdley is in the black. After the first three months of operation there is a net profit of $7,359.46 in the bank. The statement of operating costs which was discussed at a meeting of Hamilton townshi council recently showed total receipts from ice time and community centre rentals of $21,238.87 compared with total expenditures of $13,879.41 for the months of October, No- vember and Décember. Of the expenditures $3,321 was spent on building main- tenance and $3,126 on canteen î urchases. Salaries came to 2,991 and hydro and fuel cost $2,054. Reeve Lloyd Williams des- cribed the report as "excellent news" but said it was to early to get a true operating picture. The figures included some starting u? costs which were "one time ' expenses but on the other hand there were still some fuel bills to come and the salaries were "a bit on the lean side." "All the same we are well into the þlack,'" he said. Cliff Johnston said the arena would probably continue to Profit op rate in tre black from October through to the spring but if the ice went out at the end of April they could not expect to make a profit in the summer months. Deputy Reeve Allan Dines was more optimistic. He said there had aIready been inqui- ries to use the arena in the summer for lacrosse and roller skatin and one man had stated tht he could have some event in the arena every weekend in the summer. "We may not even operate in the red in the summer," he said. Another matter concerning the arena was raised at Tuesday night's council rmeet- ing - the question of liability if someone gets hurt in the building. The council felt they would be liable if someone was hurt due to the township ern- ees' carelessness or neg- bt they could not be held liable if someone was hurt skating or mlaying hockey. They decided to take legal advice regarding the wording of a "use at your own risk sign for the arena. -Guide Toronto Dominion Bank recently announced Plan 60, a special package of services for peo le60years of age and over.
