Secretary of Local 2036, Ken Corner, explained three or four of the volunteer group must pass the site of the former arena on their way 10 and from work. One morning we dec ided 10 îry 10 make a skating rink where the arena once stood, he said. With clearance from the town and permission from the chief, we simply had 10 wait for die colder weather. And because of the lack of il, their flooding thius far has only produccd a few scat- tercd patches of ice. But already tlie children are looking forward lu skat- ing on the rink. "They drop in 10 have a look to sec how î's proeeed- ing or to catch a few sides on their way to school,"' he chuckled.
