    3. Snohomish Tribune, Vol. 109, Nr. 44, Wed, Nov 4, 1998 Page 4 Opinion QUOTED AS FOLLOWS: Editorial City can build pride with youth center The decision to allow the City of Snohomish to keeps its senior center at its current site is a positive motion for the communityh. At debate was whether or not the Snohomish Senior Center m,ust move from its property that once was a cemetery, is slated to become a youth activities center. With the court's decision to allow the propertyh to remain as it is, the city cvan move ahead with positive community-building projects. A youth center will be a vital part of the communityh, a place kids can derive pride from, much like the pride of the original Snohomish settlers and native peoples. While proper respect must be paid to the founders of the city, time has already taken away the chance to preserve the cemetery, which was officially moved decades ago. In deference to those who once rested at the site, a memorial of some kind should be erected. The best memorial of all, though, will come from a bridging of generations - seniors with memories and family stories of the city's history sharing those memories with the city's youth as a senior and youth find their homes next door. END OF QUOTED EDITORIAL ARTICLE ON P 4 OF THE OPINION SECTION OF THE SNOHOMISH TRIBUNE. What will be the longevity of the two together? When growing pains take place, who will move? Tempest Fugit, and of the Essence?
