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:
“So if hunger provokes wailing and wailing brings the breast; if the breast permits sucking and milk suggests its swallow; if swallowing issues in sleep and stomachy comfort, then need, ache, message, object, act, and satisfaction are soon associated like charms on a chain; shortly our wants begin to envision the things which well reduce them, and the organism is finally said to wish.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
“Becoming more flexible, open-minded, having a capacity to deal with change is a good thing. But it is far from the whole story. Grandparents, in the absence of the social institutions that once demanded civilized behavior, have their work cut out for them. Our grandchildren are hungry for our love and approval, but also for standards being set.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
