Hopefully, by the time you receive this message, farmers will be digging spuds. This has been a very unusual year for our area and possibly disastrous, financially, to area farmers. We should pray for them. The City of Rexburg is doing well. The measures taken in the last months have been effective in controlling run-off water and in the protection of our wastewater treatment facility. The City Parks are being put to bed for the winter and I would like to thank our parks depart- ment for their excellent service. The tennis court at Porter Park is being refurbished, weather permitting. There will soon be a parking lot at Evergreen Park. It seems that there is so much to be done as winter approaches. There are improvements being made at the Romance Thea- ter and most of the changes will be finished as we move into the opening of the Rexburg Arts Council’s Fall Season. The Romance Theater is gearing up for another season of classic and family friendly movies. Shows are every Wednesday evening starting at 7:00. I am told that admission to these movies is only 50¢. Now that’s a bargain. The City appreciates all the hard work that community members have shown in their participa- tion with the arts. Particular thanks needs to be given to the Rexburg Community Theatre who have again arranged to perform “A Christmas Carol”. Also, this month on October 17, 18 and 20, the Arts Council will present “Oh What a Night!”, a collection of popular performances from Broadway and Hollywood. Some of our local celebrities – Missy Babcock, Jake Cham- berlin, and Preston Pugmire, to name a few, will perform with other talented singers to help raise money for the continued restoration of the Romance Theater. I am very impressed with the amount of talent that we have in our small city and encourage you to come support the arts this fall. I also want to thank the Recreation Department, as they have accepted to take over the annual River Rock Youth Triathlon. After five years of putting on this event, the non-profit organiza- tion, Life Active has turned this event over to the city to ensure its continuation. Life Active has not only done a marvelous job of putting on this event, but has also given away thousands of dollars to youth in our area to participate in athletic activities. -Richard S.
