By DAVID MARTIN Editor

Members of the Greenbelt Taskforce are looking for input on what the future of the Greenbelt should look like. John Freeman, a member of the task force, said the group is preparing surveys for residents to voice their opinion with in the coming weeks. So far, Freeman said he’s heard someone propose a fishing dock and more Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant entrances to portions of the path. He also believes the Greenbelt is a prime location for a disc golf course. Freeman is not stranger to the task force, being one of its founding members more than 30 years ago. After he left the group and became a state legislator, the group slowly became dormant. After finishing his final term, he was asked to return to the task force. “I was not involved with public service for three days,” Freeman said. Showing love The master plan utilized by the task force is 30 years old as well and Samantha Burrow shows her family how much she loves them moments before the graduation ceremony at Green while dated, Freeman said it’s still River High School started Monday evening.
