PETER QUIGLEY: Two Ideas about the Rink

Submitted by Peter Quigley

In response to letter from Bill Drake, (DRAKE: Eager to hear ideas about the rink, Dec 28).

Dear Mr. Drake, two (2) suggestions:

Either

1. conduct soil testing to EPA standards down 10 feet or more, like next door adjacent at Western Middle School done by Langan Engineering in current ‘ planned’ new location

or

2. find a better location by buying one of the two (2) current land options for sale in town:

For funding, go to RTM to determine willingness of community to pay (fund) for a skating rink for land and rink, as to its benefit to the majority of community or is it just self-interests?
