ation Director takes a Last Minute Look A Bird's eye view of the ice surface at the New Darlington Sports Centre. The ice surface is 85 feet by 190 and the seating capacity of the arena is 2000. Recreation Director Bud Fanning takes a last minute look around the arena before its unofficial opening Saturday before last. This is What Keeps the Arena Floor Cold Newcastle Councillor Don Wearn stands beside two high RPM Compressors at the New Darlington Sports Centre. These compressors do the same job as four compressors at the Bowmanville Arena. They pipe the cool solution to the floor of the ice surface at 12 degrees and it returns at 16 degrees. New Darlington Sports Centre The,New Darlington Sports Centre unofficially opened a week ago Saturday. The followmg is a continuation from last week outlining the facilities at the new centre which cost the town. $835,C00. Other features of the new arena are plexi-glass wmdows i the cafeteria, which is housed in the front part of the arena. The windows look out over the ice surface, and the plexi-glass will prevent break- age if it by a puck. The cafeteria is 2tt feet by 60 feet. The main foyer has a skylight. The ceiling is squar- ed off with cement beams and glass domes. At centre ice, on the east side are a number of steps which lead down to a corridor which leads to the first aid room, four change rooms, washrooms, and rooms hous- ing the furnace, water heater, electrical equipment and cool- ing system. Also off this corridor is a meeting room, whereteams car hoid a rallv. Councilor Wearn indicated that a weight, lifting club had enquired about using the room. The washrooms in the arena are equipped with controlled taps on the showers and the sinks. A button is pushed to turn on the water wnien is set at one temperature, the tap then turns itself off after a certaintime period. The water heater in the arena holds 300 gallons. The Darlington Sports Centre also has a change room for the referees. fhe rink's cooling system is run by two compressors which have a high r.p.m. and will perform a job equivalent to the four compressors at the Bowmanville Arena. The con- pressor pipes a brine (chemi- cal solutionl)up to a series of pipes in the floor of the ice surface. The chemical is piped up at 12 degrees and returns at 16 degrees. Use of the com- pressors is logged every two H eat to the change rooms is provided by a 750,000 BTU oil-fired furnace. All rooms are equipped with smoke detectors, which in case of a fire would sound an alarm at the Newcastle Fire Depart- ment in Bowmanville., The scoreboards are expect- ed to aýrrive tod ay at the arena. The arena could hold a capacity audience of 2,000 peopie. Items like painting the walls and furnishing the first aid room have yet to be looked after. Architects for this building which appears to have two stories but doesn't, are Jackson and Ypes, a Toronto Firm. Liaison committee to New- castie are the two Darlington Couicillors, Don Wearn and Bruce Tink. ENNISKILLEN Pre-Christmas events have been legion everywhere and our community bas been no exception, almost requiring an eight day week to meet the demands. Lagging energy was rekindled by a bright, sunny winter's morning which brought a large attendance to the Sunday a.m. Church service. Excellent messages,- music and fellowship were enjoyed. Our minister's sermon for the children was illustrated by his story of Christmas by God's example with gifts from our hearts. The sermon's theme "The Word of God' stressed that Christmas must have the cross and to over- come changes, Jesus will be the final word with forgive- ness, not condemnation. God's word to us as expressed in Handel's Oratories is "full of grace and truth". The addition of formai attire for the Sr. Choir and leader increased their charm as they delivered their message in two aintherns - an old failiar fnorite s'Star of theEast" and "Let All Together Praise Our God", with a lead part by sopranos. Mrs. Gladys Ashton in charge of the Jr. Church, showed a film "The Meaning of Christmas Carols". The worship opening of S.S. was given by Supt. Mrs. Ella Bowman with Brian McGill at the piano. Replacing the regular class periods was a Talent pro- gram. Each class presenting a delightful number beginning with (a) the Kindergarten were ones in a musical Christmas acrostic with the assistance of their teacher Reva Kinsman and Mrs. Ulah Chambers (piano) (b) Pri- mary Class gave a chorus "The Meaning of Christmas" (c) Jr. Girls, with teacher Miss Elva Orchard as narra- tor, in a candie lighting exercise for Peace, Faith and Love. (d) Sr. Girls and Boys - Choral Reading led by Susan Werry and Juidy Virtue on "The Real Meaning of Christ- mas" with each pupil contrib- uting to the explanation (e) Jr. Teens - They posed as a mima- ture choir with Karyn Bigby as pianist which developed i- to a heated religious discus- sion on Christmas now an out dated event, a business deal or carousal with some pros and cons which resulted in the rinister James Werry chair- ing a congregation meeting and a decision by all to change Christmas to a really genuine celebration. For the annual Christmas Eve Service our congregation joined with Tyrone's at Ty- rone Church at 7:30 p.m. It was also a Candle Light Service. Mrs. E. Wright's and her culinary experts of the U.C.W. were complimented by the bosts ancd guests at the Martin-Reid wedding dinner on Sat. evening which was served at the Lions Centre, Bowmanville.
