ERA was originally tavern but has served community hall for years It was originally Creemore rink outlook stirs local concern By BRIDGEITE JORDAN CREEMORE The local arena is still hanging in there but the outlook does not look good second engineers report iwas received by Creemore council from Reid and As 50ciates regarding the arena This report was based on recheck of the calculations and other pertinent information of the first report by another firm for Reid and Associates This report states that the truss webb members are over stressed even under extremely light load conditions and the truss joints are inadequate even under the weight of the building alone It further states that repairs to remedy this would add an other $50000to the $22250estimated for repairs in the first report bringing the total cost to around $72000 In summary it states that the arena is structurally unsound even with no external loads and in view of the considerable expense and the age of the building and the possibility of other nonstructural de ficiencies that the expenditure that would be incurred to bring this building up to the requirements would not be justified If further points out that other buildings of this type have been known to collapse suddenly due to the failure of one of the 360 truss joints starting chain reaction They advise that use of the arena cease immediately They allow that the sum of approximately $10000 and minimum of three weeks time could bring the arena to minimum point of standard where the building could be put to monitored use with no snow loads or wind
