The Old Arena and How It Came

This committee reported
that the laminated arch style of
bullding was “hot” in the west,
and: existing models were
serving many communities suc-
cessfully. It did catch the
imagination of the whole com-
mittee, and it was then only a
decision of whether to go for
the “Martin” or the “Lewia?’~
style arena,

The Lewis rink was
chosen, and a date was set for
the arrival of the 21 arches, the
main component, and the ribs
upon which to build the roof.

We were to have a rink
with overall dimensions of 230'
x 114’, and: 108" x 228' inside,
The ice surface was to be 85 x.
185' and it was expected we
would be in it by Christmas.
Impossible, dear reader? We
did make it, But what a lot of
blood, sweat and tears!
"+ The cost of the arches,
delivered, was some $19,000.
‘They were a donation by our
jd; friend Cominco, Cement,
lumber, Hails; shiplap and al-
nur roofing had:to be2pur-

hased, and one of our building’
suppliers (Ogiow’s) gave us
wholesale prices and others did
what they could,

All that remained was the
mustering of the work force.

Art Anderson was put in
charge of the building com-

ittee. He took six months off

from work and began the long, |

hard job.of coaxing, pleading,
swearing, and weeping, to keep
the helping hands coming. Of

Kiwanis .Club announced a
glant bingo with first prize of
$1,000 and proceeds for the
rink, Mickey Moran com-
menced to drill the untrained
Kiwantans in the art of bingo
cards, microphones and mill-
tary discipline, —_

Yes, there were a few
other things going on in the
country. that year, like the
great pipeline debate in
Ottawa, the Sommers case, the
advance waves of the next pro-
vinelal election, and so on, but
the focus of the village's at-
tention in July, 1956 was the
news that the arches would be
arriving on the 26th!

‘They did arrive, along with
one foreman-erector, and one
kid, Art Anderson now came
into action, He collared
Defoe and his tractor,

acrounged two low-beds,
dead aim on the two flat cars of
arches down at the building

It's run by Mrs, Shirley
‘Shaw and her husband Walt,
both reformed alcoholics,

“We get alot of people who
‘don’ 't drink—church groups and
young people,” Mrs. Shaw said.

Mrs. Shaw said she opened
Hawby's because she missed
the comfortable surroundings,
the dim lights and the music of

a bar.

The Shaws and their eight
children built their bar out of a

Into Being

during all of the conatruction,
no compensation cases.

If you think it all went
amoothly, it didn’t,

If you think that every-
body volunteered all the time,
they didn't.

If you think that maybe
some shift-workers got mad at
the poor women phoning them
tocome to work at the rink, and
swore at them, some did.

Do you think there was
some Ditching and complaining?
There waa plenty.

"But did Art and the com-
mittee and the dedicated ones
give up? They did not.

I donot remember any
grand opening. The rink just
started to get used and was
greatly enjoyed by all, The
money came from somewhere,
mostly payroll pledges. We
were in business!

It. remained for - another
year to get proper lighting,
courtesy of Cominco electri-
sane and engineers, and

“In the year that followed
we had the inspiration of
Johnny Clarke and Walt Thorp
onthe execution of the upstairs
hall, with more volunteers, and
the same two on the wheedling

everything else leading to the
almost 20 est) of hard use of
our old rink.

The community needed it,
and they got it! Thanks to a lot
of hard-working people, some of

-who remained on and operated

the place and the concession on
a volunteer basis!

The total outlay for the old
tink in cash is calculated to be
about $45,000, but after it was
banded over to the city by the
Project Society in the sixties,
there were other additions and
expenses.

It is maybe a miracle that
the old arena got built at all, In
those days ‘there were no
grants from any of the senior
governments available, and the
taxable assessment. of the vil-
Inges was less than one-third of
the present figure.

We did it though, and I for
one am very happy and proud
that we did it. See you'at the’
