2006 Brings Change
About 5 or 6 years ago the township bought the old Showcase Centerville Cinemas that went out of business, the movie theater is located right next to the Rec' Center. For many years the trustees struggled to decide in what to do with the building. Around 2004 a levy was proposed to renovate it to provide lecture halls, game courts and a variety of other activities to enrich the community. Unfortunately the levy did not pass and the building sat quietly for a couple years only being used for storage.
Just recently the building was renovated and now provides a teen center for local teens to come and hang out at every now and then. They also turned one of the rooms into a makeshift Theatre for the touring teens productions that held its first show on September 6 2006. The location was named Rec' West.

Famous quotes containing the words brings and/or change:
“Look at your lake, Christine. You’ll love it here, when you get used to the dark. And you’ll love the dark, too. It’s friendly. And peaceful. It brings rest and relief from pain. It’s right under the Opera. The music comes down and the darkness distills it, cleanses it of the suffering that made it, then it’s all beauty and life here is like a resurrection.”
—Eric Taylor, and Leroux. Arthur Lubin. Erique Claudin (Claude Rains)
“And if joy were not on the earth,
There were an end of change and birth,
And Earth and Heaven and Hell would die,
And in some gloomy barrow lie
Folded like a frozen fly....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
