spectators Could be seriously injured with flying pucks says members of the Thornton Community Arena Board few people have already been smacked in the head with pucks said Ross Burwcll Thornton village trustee and secretary of the board But there hasnt been anything serious at least not yet The board doesnt want to wait until someone is seriously injured before the necessary glass is installed Burwcll fears it is just matter of time before that happens DISClSSIIl OFTEN For months Essa and lririisfil have discussed whether or not they can afford to help pay for the glass Essa says they cant afford to lniiisfil says theyll help pay for it but only if Essa is also willing topay Thursday Essa council meets to discuss the issue The arena has no glass on the west side and the fourAyearold wire mesh on the south side must be replaced before the 197980 hockey season starts The board says the wire should be replaced with glass LETTERS SENT it seems like an un necessary expense to replace the wire with wire only to replace the same with glass the following year said Burwcll in letters to Essa and lnnisfil councils Two years ago Thornton man was injured while atten ding hockey game at the Becton Arena The man who wore glasses was hit by flying puck He almost lost his sight in one eye said Rurwell lie was off work for months Hes okay now but it was pretty touch

bad but could also be potentially dangerous situation said Rurwcll Actually its heavier wire than that used in the Stroud or chroy arenas he said But if one segment of the wire was to break it could be dangerous Recently an Essa councillor came to look at the mesh He didnt think it was dangerous But we only need one injury and theyll see said Rurwcll BllLTWITIISIIRII The TOUIfiterORl arena was largely built on the strength and great community spirit of residents of the Thornton area said Rurwell They held turkey shoots dances and raffles to raise money after fire destroyed the original Thornton arena Together the community raised about $125000 towards the arena which cost about $2100th Essa Township and in riisfil township contributed $80000cach Rurwell isnt sure the com munity is ready to rally again to raise money for the glass Now that weve got the arena things are different he said Anything else is considered trill Still hirwell said its possi ble that if child was liljlllctl with flying puck the parents might want to sue the board for not taking proper safety precautions think weve got one of the nicest arenas around said Rurwell Rut itll only takc one injury
