What are they, talking about? How rich do they think we are?" {> But then we read the letters again—and then re-read them a third time. And then we began to think about what the’ writers were proposing. What two of them were saying is that. we must not be short-sighted and build'only for the needs of today, but rather we must take the Jonger view—if necessary on a priority pbasis—and plan a complex in conjunction with . Selkirk College that will meet district needs for Many, many years to come. = We believe the present Castlegar Arena lias served us well. It was built: when many similarly-sized communities were without such a facility and looked enviously at ours. Now, What's Needed: A Sports & Culture Centre? a little too rich for-your blood and pocketbook, priorities could be set accordingly.” “Lhave collected an abundance of literature which shows how other communilies have entered into joint-use facilities with nothing but desirable results. Hours of use, maintenance, supervision of activities, use of equipment, use of janitorial equipment and supplies, and so on, can all be easily handled in joint-use facilities with'a minimal cost to the parties concerned.” “The task of coordinating community and college plans is no easy ‘one as you are undoubtedly aware. However, as interest grows - sodo the for i oriented goals." Mrs. Joanne Langlois, Kinnaird; “There is to be a gymnasium built al Selkirk College...that could ‘still be a complete recreational ‘and cultural facility. At present this facility will house basketball, volleyball, badminton,’ gym- © nastics, squash courts, boxing and wrestling. Not just for the students but for the community asa whole if they take advantage of it." “The sad part of this accomplishment (of a gym at Selkirk) is that for’ approximately the same money and the co-operation of the “Another American with a hard-luck story.” centre ii *§0-metre een an arena, the present planned and a track could be Rowever, it's outdated. But its very exist makes the passage of a new referendum difficult.

It would also be maintained during school hours leaving only those’ times when school was not in session to be paid for by the community.” “Also, such facilities as lockers, storage and equipment rooms, showers and offices would not have to be duplicated as they will 'if two or three separate facilities are built...The facilities would get maximum use as they would be available during the week for the students of the school reek: “Council feels there is heed’ for a’ new arena for ‘hockey and skating...we feel there is definitely a stronger need for a cultural centre in this area.” «Mal Stelck, director of physical edi and in the ings and on holidays for anyone who wanted to use thei isa facility capable of p industrial, cultural and reeretional—if the input from the is there.” Selkirk College: “The type of facilities I feel are Fequired for such a ‘regional centre of sport and éulture’ include such things as, gymnasia, handball-squash courts, exercise-weight rooms, a 50-metre competitive swimming: pool with diving facilities, an ice arena, field house, track,: outdoor fields and a theatre for staging live “Costs are not: going to go down and there are ‘grants available now that will not ‘be available in years to come...Selkirk meets all the existing standards to qualify for such loans and grants and it would be in.the interest of the community to take: full advantage of all such funding. ‘Bs is available: now. throweh the | and federal go productions, assemblies, etc. If this recipe seems the _ robbers’ : Barrett and his robbing hoods they rob us all, they rob our goods, 4) They steal our money, they steal our_land—they sure are ‘one robbing band! e gi —One. who ‘has . been affected by the land freeze for over a year.
