Post Office Department, Ottawa CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, March 17, 1960 ‘A Monument to the Few’ Is a Testament to M After years of frustration and deter- minatioii, skating-and curling in Castlegar on artificial ice are finally realities. The Castlegar and District arena has been called “‘a monument to the few’.and the history of its bujlding is full of forgot- ten disappointments, heartaches and hopes. But the building of the arena is also a story of visionaries like the various executives of the Project Society and of men like Johnny Clarke and Ed Nemrava. It is also the story of a legion of men, . Students and children who contributed thousands of hours of work and thousands of dollars., It is the story of service clubs like the Kiwanis Club and of public-mind- ed companies like the CM&S, Eaton’s, Cel- gar and Interior Breweries, ‘The pouring of the first concrete at the arena in June of 1956 was preceded by years of organizing and work, and the op-: ening of the rink to skating and curling doesn’t mean that the work and organizing ‘are finished yet. Only last week hard- -working Johnny Clarke turned from nailing down a‘ board floor, gazed out over the ice and said sim. ply: “It’s not finished yet.” ~ \ And-he is right.
