reaffirming just a little my faith in politicians i spoke to our esteemed mayor last week and learned that he is solidly behind the town having a new replacement for our cur rent eyesore furthermore you and that includes me of little faith can rest assured that he does not want to spend one red cent on the present building bravo bravo bravo his main concern so he says has been making sure that the town can afford a new arena also that the taxpayer will not have to bear too heavy a burden he also opined that the sporting organizations will have to work hard to produce revenue as grants become more difficult in some cases impossible to obtain there is no lack of support there their enthusiasm is boundless he also reminded me that it is just two years since he tabled a motion for a new arena point taken however there does seem to me at least a sad lack of information regarding prog ress or lack of it councils tardiness in appointing a new parks and re creation committee is causing concern to one or two people who want to get on with it rest assured that by january 11 the committee will be appointed and in place eldred said newly appointed council member margot marshall of cedar valleyis one of two coun- cil members appointed to the parks and recreation commit tee she affirms that she is in favor with reservations that are financial of a new arena however since it is over a year since she last visited our pre sent icepad i suggest she go take a look and discover just how badly we need a new building it would be remiss of me to ignore the timehonored tradi tion of making a few predic tions for the new year poss ibly they are writtenyith ton gueincheek but not without a grain of truth bear with me and if possible send me your own predictions we will go over them
