LOB 1C0O Brooke ond Area since 1983 Brooklin Profile ROXANNE REVELER News & Features Editor Phone 655-3637 or 985-7383 ! Don't fear arcade | owner tells residents Residents in the Winchester Road/Queen Street area of Brooklin have nothing to fear according to the owner of an arcade being set up in a vacant section of the Jacs Milk building on the corner of Winchester and Anderson Sts. Frank Lalje, an owner of the long- established convenience store, told the Profile that although he has not yet established what the hours of his new venture will be, he hopes to make a decision within the next few days. Lalje states his new business will centre around a take-out-food establishment that will also provide + entertainment in the form of video game machines. "I want to alay the fears of peo- ple who think it is going to be a hangout for kids and drugs and all that," said Lalje, "it is simply go- ing to be an amusement and take- out-food business." He has agreed to meet with this reporter during this week, when he will have all the details worked out. Meanwhile, Whitby Ad- ministrator Bill Wallace, himself a Brooklin resident said the Lalje operation is quite legal. 'As far as we (the town) are con- FE al -* .

He did say that a licence to operate must be obtained and stated Lalje has made an application which is presently in process. Several residents in the area have expressed their concern over a video game arcade being establish- ed at that location, adding they do not feel that anywhere in Brooklin would be a good location for such a business. One neighbour, who did not wish to be identified, stated children were being admitted into the arcade through a door connecting with the variety store as early as Friday, September 19. "There had to be a dozen bikes in front of the store and I couldn't figure out where all the kids were going to at first...what"s it going to be like when they actually open their doors for business?" Wallace indicated the business will be constantly minitored, as are all like establishments, and council informed of the day to day operation. i ) It will soon be ready Work is well underway on the expansion to Luther Vipond Memorial Arena in Brooklin, and according to Parks and Recreation Director Larry Morrow the new dressing rooms should be ready for use by December. Alex Campbell, a Lacrosse pot back on boil Well, well, well, the 1986 lacrosse championships are no sooner over and it's time for that sport to hit the headlines again. Now that the Brooklin Redmen and their quest for the Canadian Mann Cup are over for this season, there is another "reason for Brooklinites to follow lacrosse news in these pages. According to Redmen general manager Mike Gray, there is no way his club is prepared to par- ticipate in a three-club league again next year, and they figure that now is the time to start doing something about it. and as of this moment, we don't have a place to go," said Gray dur- ing last week's team meeting. '"To think we can run a three-team league again is foolish and we have to take positive steps." In an attempt to set the wheels in motion, Redmen will be presenting a formal application to the Ontario Lacrosse Association (OLA), for en- try into the OLA Senior B League. For many years, the Redmen have been members of the OLA Ma- jor Series, but with the loss of Scar- borough Saints and Owen Sound North Stars at the out-set of the 1986 campaign, had to opt for competi- tion between Peterborough Lakers and Brampton Excelsiors. A proposed inter-locking schedule between the Major circuit and Senior division has been proposed as the main event in talks scheduled for Sarnia on October 19, but OLA Major Series commissioner Bob Phillips has let it be bluntly known that he disapproves of the idea. "Since when do the seniors start dictating to us where the meeting will be held...I'm getting it chang- ed" roared Phillips. 'Sarnia has re- quested entry into the senior league worker with general contractors Winvalley Con- struction of Whitby took advantage of one of the nicer days last week while working on the pro- ject to try and get a bit of his tan back. and it still hasn't been given OLA approval, yet they want to hold a meeting there." "To hold a meeting in Sarnia is . ridiculous and I'm not the least bit interested in travelling the distance." The senior league has apparent- ly expressed an interest in entering an inter-locking schedule, however, have included clauses stating that games are to be held in major arenas and that major teams pro- vide all the travelling costs to the senior visitors. With a laugh of dishelief, Redmen president Don *'Sully" Vipond, call- ed these clauses a "nice try." 'Since when will we ever attract a crowd against Scarborough or Mississauga? And we have to pay their expenses? I don't think so. We might do well against Owen Sound and Orangeville," said Vipond. He questioned what the OLA planned to do about the whole situa- Can you spare an hour? tion that beleagured the Redmen all last year, adding '"We pay our dues, so they have to do something for us." He indicated the OLA made some money from the Redmen dur- ing the Eastern Canadian finals against Peterborough Lakers and should now recipricate. For fear of leaving the league's plight too late for the 1987 year, Redmen have put forth the amalgamated proposal. "I want us to be reinstated as a senior team and by doing this, you can bet we'll get quicker results,' said Gray. "By submitting our team to the senior league...and if we can get Peterborough to do the same...we might just frighten off a few weaker teams and the cream of the crop will sit down and talk." Another recourse to be considered is the addition of a couple of clubs to the major circuit, thereby mak- ing a five-team league once again. St. Leo's needs help to man the school Staff, and ultimately the students, at St. Leos Catholic School in North Brooklin are in a bit of a pickle and are asking for the assistance of the public. You see, they have been unable to find anyone to supervise the lunch hour period at the school this year. It is not as though they are asking for charity. Far from it. They are willing to pay $5.80 an hour for the job, which could be a nice little bit of spending money...some $1,100 a year..for a nearby housewife or retiree. The responsibility involves monitoring the children as they eat their lunch and their activities un- til the bell rings to mark the resumption of classes again. Anyone interested should give the school a call at 655-3852. eT ----
