Burlington Arena plans narrowed to two options

The arena committee identified two possible buildings with one offering extensive community features but requiring 25 600 more than the other plan. The group would choose the pricier option if the extra 25 000 could be covered, but the gap remains unresolved. Monday evening the Burlington Lions Club marked its 25th anniversary with a gala at the Brant Inn attended by many Lions. Speakers praised the club’s contributions to the town. St John’s RC Church was decorated Saturday morning for the wedding of Theresa Majrel to Ronald Wright-Garette.

Some farmers staked land last week and got stuck with tractors while Rob chops firewood and a robin revisits her nest near the hall windows.
