[Vision2020] ice rink

Chris,

  If you heat the ice to 33 degrees or higher it will no longer be to loud for the neighbors. It would be cheaper too.

At this point the plan is to  enclose the current facility with a metal soundproof building.   The footprint will be big enough to support a full size rink and  support facilities; however they will continue to use the current rink.   The hope is that with the soundproof building they will be able  to extend operating hours back to the original length and hopefully  make enough money to justify expansion to a full size rink.   
    I have not heard if Tidyman’s is  back into play or if there are other sites.

    As for the horse arena, it is used in the  summer but as to the extent of its use I no longer know how often.

    Also,  I must make a public apology
.until I was in town last month for Phil’s  funeral I never realized exactly how loud that rink is.  I had a  chance to walk around the outside of the facility and finally figured  out why the neighbors were complaining so much.   That place  is loud.   Fairbanks  has 5 indoor enclosed rinks that produce no sound outside of the walls  of each structure.  We have 17 outside rinks without covers that  do produce noise but it dissipates within just a few feet and bothers  no one.   So with my current experience of rinks in Fairbanks and my past connection to  the Moscow rink  I went visited the facility and discovered how wrong I was about the noise from  that rink.   

    So to the neighbors who I argued with in  public hearings: I was wrong.  You are right.  The Moscow rink has a design problem that really  amplifies the heck out of activities inside and frankly is a nuisance.  

    Please  support the county commissioners and Rotary’s effort to fully enclose  the current rink in a sound proof building.  That effort will be a  win-win for everyone involved much like the compromise for design of  the ball fields off of Palouse    River Drive.

    Thanks, 
  Chris Storhok

        Actually,

        Whatever  happened with the ice rink?  I have heard several ideas; move to  Tidyman's, build a permanent building with a regulation size rink and  keep the other for figure skating, etc. 

        Does the horse arena at the fairgrounds ever get used? -Tom

        And how much are these 7 playfields that we can only use four months  out the year going to cost?

  What are the kids going to do the other 8 months out of the year? 

  Just curious.

        Yeaaaa! and a wonderful job done by the playfield committee in turning  out a 
  compromise that gets the kids their fields and saves the integrity of the 
  arboretum and the local neighborhood. They also did an outstanding job in 
  realizing the hazardous access issues and rectified those problems to the 
  extent possible.

  That's what I'm talking about!!!! Democracy can work.

  Lets get the fields on the ground, like Ament says, as quickly as possible.
