The public will get its chance to comment on Polson Park later this month.
Greater Vernon Services will hold an input meeting Wednesday October 18th at 7pm at the Performing Arts Centre. Parks administrator Al McNiven says the meeting will focus on whether the grandstands should be rebuilt, not about the design of the park. The city of Vernon will get $600 000 in insurance for the burned down grandstands. The money can be used to rebuild in the park or at another city site.New Water for Silver Star
Funding is now in place for the new water system at Silver Star Mountain.
NORD directors have given approval to providing 4.2 million dollars to the resort, for a new reservoir.It will be paid back over thirty years, by the developer.
NORD vice chair Jerry Oglow says the reservoir will allow the resort to complete its build-out of new housing and accommodation units.Oglow says,'It also is large enough, and this is forward thinking of the resort, to allow for snow making.' The new system should be in operation by next year.

Its that simple. We disagree lots but always with an air of respect to it.'
