Ice rink shines after first storm at Memorial Park
The first blustery storm brings snow and ice skating at Memorial Park. Ernest Stubing, public works superintendent, notes the ice on the tennis courts is like glass. Children skate after school, and adults join after dark under new floodlights. The rink will stay open daily 7 to 9 pm as long as cold weather lasts, with plans to keep the ice clear unless heavy snows come.
