Ideas Wanted

Ruston's newest councilmember, Deb Kristovich, has taken her new assignment to focus on parks and recreation to heart. She has already organized a group of volunteers to clear out the area just east of Rust Park. The hope is to use this area for separate area where dogs can run off-leash.

Ms. Kristovich is looking for ideas and suggestions on how to raise funds for park improvements, and what improvements to focus on. So far, some ideas floated are for selling bricks or plaques for those who donate. Perhaps someone might want to dedicate/donate a park bench or two. Estimates are being gathered for the cost to fence off the dog area and to move the town maintenance supply area. You can call Deb with ideas or to volunteer at 988-8121 or email her at KrisovichD@TownofRuston.org.

Special thanks go to former resident Mike Tallman, who donated his time and equipment to provide some heavy-duty excavation and clearing for this project. Mike's mom Edie still lives in town and his grandpa was a longtime elected official for Ruston in the early 1900's. It's these small town connections that make this community such a great place to live and raise a family...
