Actually that is no longer true.. the new Palouse Ice Rink 
(http://www.icerink.tv/) offers family skating for all ages, including skate 
rentals down into the tiny tots sizes... the youth hockey program begins at age 
5, and I believe the figure skating programs do too... I have seen many parents 
out with their very young (<4) children during the day and early evenings at 
the public skating sessions.

If they spend $4 million on a gymnasium and put the rest in trust to pay for 
its upkeep, many programs that could benefit from even a small portion of the 
fund will be left out in the cold.
