At least six other indi- viduals and groups, includ- ing arena staff, are also in- terested in running a pro shop so this latest request from Halton Hills Commu- nity Support and Information (HHCS]), is expected to bring the issue to a head. HHCSI executive director Rosslyn Dowell said if the Town approves their plan they'd look for grant money. from the Ministry of Agricul- ture Food and Rural Affairs and Youth Services Canada. "We were trying to come up with a way that we could access some of this youth money in a way that would increase the employability of some youths and have youths doing positive things in a community environment," Dowell said in an interview on Friday. Dowell, who described the request to the Town as a "trial balloon," said they don't know yet if there'd be any profits from a pro shop to pay for a drop-in centre. The re- quest was sent to staff for a report. The Town sells skate laces and hockey tape at its con- cession booth in the arena and also receives revenue from a portable skate-sharp- ening machine, operated by a business that leases lobby space from the Town. Acton arena facility su- pervisor John Archibald said arena staff proposed that they run the pro shop when the arena opened last year. "We're in it (the prop shop plan) to try to offset our costs as far as ice time, so if we could generate more revenue instead of leasing it out, then that's the option we would like to go," Archibald said in an interview on Monday. The proposed pro shop would be located in a room now used for storage off the main lobby. Vacant land...

When told about the neighbours concerns about broken glass, nails and sharp metal on the -- site Montemarano said, "we don't want to see anybody get hurt - their concerns are our concerns." One neighbour, Henry de Vries, whose backyard is just 50 feet from the pile of de- bris, said he would wait and see what happens before be- ing satisfied. "People can make you all kinds of promises. I'm glad that we got the motion roll- ing because the site is unsafe and should not be left as it is, even if they don't plan to build there until the spring," de Vries said.
