Lewiston
gets recognition from state for Halloween activities
By Sarah Ali
October 22, 2005 | LEWISTON -- The
town of Lewiston has received recognition by the state
library representative for its Halloween activities.
Councilwoman Cindy Johnson said, "He was blown away
by how much we're going to do."
Julie Bergeson,
city recorder said, "for a little library, it was doing
a good job."
The library and theater youth council of Lewiston,
which is sponsoring the event, has two main activities
planned for Oct. 29. A trunk-or-trick held in the parking
lot across from the city building will begin at 5 p.m.
and last for half an hour. Everyone in the community
is invited to bring their children and walk around the
lot trick-or-treating.
"It's an alternative to walking around the city --
people just sit in the back end of their car and get
to see all the little spooks. It's really fun," Bergeson
said.
Then the action will move into the building where
there will be a Halloween carnival complete with games
including a cake walk on stage, coin toss and darts.
The carnival will also have food and the library has
received its food handlers permit, "which is a big deal
these days," Bergeson said.
The youth council decided to cancel the Monday night
movie, Dark Water, for the carnival. "They didn't
want to have competition between the movie theater and
carnival," Johnson said. She also noted that it would
result in a lower monthly income from the theater, and
the city would need to take that into account next month.
During the city council meeting on Oct. 18, Johnson
extended an invitation to all those who were in attendance
to come to the carnival. "It will be lots of fun," Johnson
said. Johnson reminded the council members to remember
to bring cakes for the games.
Other items of business that were covered during the
council meeting included:
-- Approval of monthly expenses as submitted.
-- Approval of ordinance 2005-06, concerning the cities
water distribution in regards to new developments, turning
agricultural land into residential, industrial and commercial
uses.
-- Approval of ordinance 2005-07, amending the current
zoning regulations.
-- Mayor report on Junk ordinance, city would assist
canal company in installation of drainage pipes on streets
intersecting with current drainage systems.
-- Tabled the road repairs participation, to include
canal company in cost discussions.
-- Approval of ordinance against dumping at cemetery,
a sign will be posted.
