SPORTS m RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1968 (Photo by Barbour) BICYCISES“ 529.95 E: Eric ’5‘ Cycla; 0 Sports ‘1 '25 YONGE ST. S. - RICHMOND HILL Sport Spot: By Fred Simpson It all started with the arena association‘s creation of a factâ€"finding committee under the- inspiration of Chairman George ChaSSie and Councillor William Lazenby, secretary. Anvd so am looking forward with particular interest to the official send-off this Friday at 7.45 pm of Richmond Hill’s new ai‘gnaxr Have always got a boot out of attending; openâ€" ings. official or otherwise. (‘onversebn I‘ve always religiously avoided those inevitable closings. I even resent the fact I’m going to have to be at my own Let’s see now, it seems like it was but a few weeks ago that Mayor Thomas Broadhurst took a shovel and cranked up the first few pieces of turf on the site. Then tame the gaping holes and finally. almost painfully. the steel beams started to struggle Skyward. That was back in July of historâ€" ical 1967. Then came the welL prepare-d brief, presenta- tion to a council which found the proposition too good not to consider. its agreeing to float a $350,- 000 debenture with the arena association agreeing to pay the. yearly debt chargeS-of $35,000 over 20 years, and so on. somed Key to the project was the association’s agreeing » to pay off the debentures ’ itself thereby not requiring the amount to be taken off GEORGE CHASSIE the general fax yate: Council undoubtedly would Final cost of the arena will amount to about; $400000 (.the building originally was marked for about $358,000 but the inevitable extras that evolve moved the total up to its present figure) which in these days of booming costs is not bad ‘at all. Take a ‘look’a’c’fhe'bflfit’lin'gif' you'flbn‘tW‘Nothing comes cheap these days and that building came cheaper than it very well might have. Hévveutrurned thumbs down on the latter. The cost situation was helped greatly 'by Stran- Steel’s co-operation in supplying a complete arena at such a reasonable price. Cost of the arena (with- out the extras added) amounted to $358000 which was $38,000 lower than the second best out-of-town bidder and 390.000 lower than the one after that. See what I mean? . Councillor Lazenby ventured his personal opinâ€" ion that the same arena would cost up to $600,000 if started today under different circumstances. But, of course, there are many other hidden advantages. There are many things you can ac- complish mth a new and_bigger' edifice. There would have been no Junior “C” hockey without it, the big Richmond Hill Legion Interna- tional Midget Hockey Tournament coming up in April wouldn’t have been possible to schedule in the old and small arena, etc. But the overall benefit is simply that in a town with 20,000 people (and growing) you have to grow with it. A new arena was a necessity to even keep pace. Now you’ve got it: I think it’s been worth-the price and will prove to be for those long years, hope- fully, ahead of us. HURR-UMPH! Also took a brief tour of the arena with Coun- cillor Lazenby the other day. And being a soul with simple tastes was im- pressed with the washingâ€"room facilities. Very mod- ern, very roomy, very. very nice. It’s a long way from my early days in dear old Woodstock (the old home town) which had (and still has) an arena that was ancient in the days when King Clancy used to cavort with the Leafs ON the ice. ‘ Wow. There used to be two lineups at every hockey game in those dearly beloved days. The one outside before the game and the one inside after the first period ended. The washroom facilitiesâ€"I’m speaking strictly on behalf of the men. now, of course-â€"consisted of one. just one, mean little toilet which was crammed inside a mean little cubbyhole.
