During the recent election, we all heard the words of wisdom and vision for the future of our town. As an involved and concerned citizen, I would like to see an action plan for the future use of the old arena property. Just last week there was an advertisement in The Statesman Statesman soliciting inquiries for a proposed development for the old arena site. The proposal proposal was great. The need for a senior citizens residence in our town is obvious. Now, we need a plan. May I suggest that we look at the current library facilities facilities as a possible site for the needed future expansion tempted at the meetings and the entire club got a chance to sample each one! The members will receive their project plates for the plaques at the 4H club banquet banquet on November 25.

Next, involve the town's service service and fraternal organizations organizations in the development of a combined use facility at the old arena site as a new library library and senior citizens home. The Foresters did an excellent excellent job on the senior citizens citizens residence on Liberty Street north. In fact this proposal proposal for a residence combined combined with a library was di- cussed by some of those in attendance at the 10th annual annual Brotherhood night November November 15, 1988. The harmony harmony for the combined use of this facility as a library and a seniors residence just makes good sense. A library should not be combined with an arena or a commercial outlet like a video arcade etc. The old arena location is a beautiful site overlooking the ravine. The natural tranquility tranquility and convenient location is just too precious for our town to allow developers or private individuals to exploit without regard for the harmony harmony of land use. I can just imagine any of our parents or grand parents going down the elevator from their new seniors apartment with friends to play bridge or pick up a novel or simply relax in a lounge to road on a winter afternoon without ever leaving leaving the building. Our new council has three years to plan and execute execute a new vision for our town. This is simply too important important an oppourtunity for council to not take a leadership leadership role in addressing adequate adequate facilities (library, museum museum & seniors residence) for our town, A concerned citizen; John O'Toole R.
