Council said they could shore up this pool for $30,000 to make it safe for this year. We're hoping to do that and more.

We are in tough shape here. Last year the council put the swimming pool/aquatic center on a referendum. The community responded overwhelmingly to approve financing a $1.5 million pool complex. At that time I supported that decision. Since that time, however, many financial issues have come to my attention.

Those birds which peck at the shore of the pool have played and have departed. In a moment, in an instant, we too must depart.

I'm hoping we'll have 100 participants, or more, this year.

We're hoping for another bountiful harvest again this year.

We'll do it again next year. We're hoping to make it bigger and better every year.
