(Questions and sugges- tions concerning this meeting are welcomed and should be referred to Mrs. J. Lloyd at 728-3636.) Queen's Park Report by Doug Moffatt, MPP, Durham East One of the questions which has become more and more important particularly to the people of Durham East, the Town of Newcastle, and a great number of people across the province is the closing of various arenas due to orders of the Minister of Labour, the Honourable Bette Stephenson. The municipalities must undertake engineering studies of all arenas and if the engineering firm will not certify that the arena is safe then the ministry places an order to force the closing of the arena immediately. All municipalities affected are forced to adopt some other means of providing facilities to cover all activities which take place in the arenas. In addition, if the arena is to be closed permanently then ar- rangements must be made to finance construction of a new facility. No one quarrels with the importance of safety in public buildings and no one would want to be responsible for any accident which might occur. However, I disagree ser- iously with the present gov- vernment's policy with regard to arena closing because they have nlot really moved ta provide substantially mare f unds under the Wintario program or any ather pro- gram ta make sure that ahl aur communities have access ta praper recreational facilities. I am not saying that any community should have a totally new arena constructed for it and handed over by the province. Ahi of us agree that it is an important component af the community and that people feel money has been spent an some rather frivolous activities and for a year or two it would have made greater There will be a R a a n ad çec prepared by the residents of SUNSET LODGE 106 Church Street, Bowmanvilîe on Wednesday, October 6 at 2:00 p.m. -EVERYONE WELCOME- sense for the provinçe to etablish the replacement of arenas as a priority item for Wintario funding. That is not the case. There has been no move by the government to change those priorities. As a matter of fact, a recent statement by the Minister of Labour and the Minister of Culture and Recreation indi- cates that there has been no change at all in the maximum amount of money available to municipalities. Aside from a few minor changes the same amounts of money are to be contributed. I am concerned that people in the province of Ontario may see the spending of money on arena facilities as an unnecessary demand in this time of restraint, high property taxes, and exorbitant escalations in almost every- thing that we have to buy. I sincerely believe that the cost of spending or the cost of erecting new arenas or other recreational facilities is a way in which we can save tremen- dous amounts of money. If we deprive all of our small communities of these kinds of facilities what we will do is create the kinds of problems that will lead to increasing policing needs at escalating prices and that we may well have social costs to pay for a number of years as a direct result of these programs. Some people have suggested that a sensible way for municipalities to solve these problems particularly in the Town of Newcastle would be to construct one new central arena. I think this does not make sense in the long run because there are great num- bers of people in all parts of the municipality of Newcastle who would not be able to have their children take part be- cause of the lack of transport- ation. Remember there is no public transit of any sort outside of Bowmanville and all of those outlying areas depend on private transporta- tion to get to the arena or anywhere else for that matter. If central arenas, or central recreational facilities are to be built then we will have to spend money over great periods of time to bus people to those facilities. That is liable to cost more in the long run than any arena cost. I have worked closely with the people in Orono, New- castle Village, and the Town Council in Newcastle in an effort to solve some of the difficulty. It appears now that the Newcastle arena will be available with certain repairs for one year, the Orono arena may be available with some repairs for one year, and the Bowmanville arena will be available with repairs for a number of years. That still leaves us with the problem of collecting by public subscrip- tion the cost of replacing the BHS Evening Courses Wll Variety of Sub Evening school classes at the Bowmanville High School will begin the fall semester on October 5 offering a program of 35 courses ranging from art to yoga. The fee for registration in a single subject is $15 for 20 weeks and $7.50 for 10 weeks. This year's night school principal, Mr. G. Milovick said at an estimated cost of 37/2 cents per hour, the courses offered are one of the best bargains in town. The fall program includes eight academic courses and Newcastle arena, and the Orono arena over the next couple of years. I sincerely hope and believe that the people in the Town of Newcastle will take part in erecting these facilities so that all citizens will have access to the kinds of recreational facilities that our modern society needs and have decid- ed that are important for all members, not just young people, but all members of our community.
