LIVERMORE FALLS – Area Youth Sports leaders will meet with selectmen Tuesday to discuss the use of the town’s recreation field as the nonprofit athletic organization’s home field during Tuesday’s selectmen’s meeting, board Chairman Jackie Knight said Thursday.

The organization that serves children in Jay, Livermore, Livermore Falls and Fayette in kindergarten through eighth grade requested last year to use the field as a football field in 2007.

Selectmen at the time said they supported the athletic program but requested it come back with a plan to show how it would work.

Knight said the AYS leaders would like to have the field as home field for football, baseball, softball and soccer.

They would like to put up a building for concessions and bathrooms, she said, and get a sewer and water hookup.

Water is already run to the field.

Knight said the venture could bring a lot of money into the town.

“I think it will be great for the town if we can get it up and running,” she said.

AYS President Jim Ouellette wrote in 2006 to the board addressing the football field stating that, “AYS is in need of a football field. Every time it rains, we need to make many phone calls to place our football teams on other fields. The Livermore Falls (Recreation) Field would be a perfect spot for a football field that AYS football could call home for years to come.”

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. Sept. 4, at the town office. It will be preceded by an executive session to discuss economic development at 5 p.m., Town Manager Martin Puckett said last week.

During the regular meeting the board will also have a presentation from Bruce MacDonald or his son, Todd, on a proposal to set up a shoe manufacturing operation in town for their Pine Tree Orthopedic shoe company, Puckett said.

Bruce MacDonald was unavailable for comment last week. The business is currently located in Leeds.

SAD 36 Superintendent Terry Despres is also scheduled to give an update on school consolidation, Knight said.
