Landmark Commission- May 17, 1990 page 2 a project. Naznes of interested students kTill be given to Patterson. She has also contacted Dave Dillon, whose Boy Scout troop will be glad to do a historical skit; rirs. Krause Girl Scout troop will also be glad to do a skit (5th and 6th graders.). 10. Patterson also reported that Paula Slimak will be available to do a dramatic presentation in costiam.e about i•romenls life in the 1800t s. Her presentation is geared to the Victorian-era. 11. Lang reported that he has talked with a Mr. Bob Ziko (?), who has a group of history buffs called the Clearfork Rangers. They will, if asked, come and set up a tent (on lawn by kettle in front of Twon Hall?) and deznonstrate wh at day-to-day life was like in the past-- daily chores, etc. At this point Mayor Boyle and Nancy Wlodarski arrived. All members of the corrnnission were given the oath of office and sworn in by the Mayor. Both members of the administration remained for a time, and answered questions. Asked about the possible use of a city bus for the Frost- ville tours, the Mayor did not think that this was likely to be possible. He suggested that perhans the Gerber day-care center bus might be used free of charge, as a publicity investment and goodwill gesture; .or pos- siblg a senior van, or Horizon's bns. . Adced if an outline of the actzvities available at Town Hall from 1 to 5 P.M. on Sunday, Aug. 19th could be included in the Homecorning Booklet, Wlodarski agreed that this would be desirable; text should be prepared and ready by sometime in June. She alao, when asked, told the commission that the 175th anniger.sary committee as a tahole, meeting upstairs that night, had decided that.the logo for the celebration would not be the citg seal with appropriate additions, as pro?osed by the Landmarks Com- mission, but a wheel with numbers and slogan. It was chosen because it was felt that it would be easier to renroduce. The Commission expressed disappointment, and souoht assurances that this did not mean th at the city seal was to be Dermanently abandoned, but that the anniversary logo was only to be used f or this one occasion. Wlodarski assured the commission that the city seal would remain in use for other purposes, and in the f uture . Wlodarski h.as been meeting with the 1Kinisterial Assoc? ation, which would like to hold a religious observance of tne anniversarsT; perhaps to in- clude an old-fashioned hymn sing, on Sunday Aug. 19th, in one of the churches. A time of 4:30 P.M. was agreed upQn as avoiding conflicts of activities, and making it possible for families or individuals to go to both types of observance--Town Iiall.and church. Jack Boss, pres?dent of the Historical Society, attended f'or a short time, and suggested that nerhaDs some diaries or letters might be available for loan from the Society, if they could be copied under the sup-ervision of a Society member., who could then returri the originals to the Society. They have h.ad instances of valuable or irreplacable materials disappearing or being damaged. He said that he would see what arrangements could be made. Next meeting wi.ll be at 7:30 P.M. on Thursday, May 31st., at which time a time schedule of events will be drawn up; also a list of time-.frames for sYzts--perhaps in 30 ye`ar seg-ments' from 1815 to.1990.
