Skating Rink on the Channel of Highland Lake

Anyone else interested?

By Donna Baker-Hartwell

For many years I have wished that there could be an ice skating rink maintained on the channel of Highland Lake. I am wondering how to go about creating it.

Are the present representatives and senators responsible for the gridlock? Bills originate in the House of […]
