Saving William Shore Memorial Pool
There'll be a meeting this Friday, October 3rd, at Vern Burton Memorial Center, 308 East Fourth Street, P.A. at 5:30 p.m. It’s a brainstorming session for coming up with ways to save the pool.
Mark Houseman, recreation coordinator for the pool, said: “Mainly, this meeting is a chance for people to make suggestions because they weren’t able to talk at the City Council’s budget work session.”
There's also a petition being circulated. Port Book and News, among other places, has the petition at their premises.
If additional funding isn't provided, the pool will probably close on December 31st of this year. And if some of the pool staff quit their jobs before that date, the pool might close even earlier, since they're required to maintain certain staffing levels for liability purposes.

Bwah-ha-ha!
Hello again citizens! Enjoy your pool while you can because my plans to turn into a holding tank for toxic wastes is unfolding nicely! I'm holding top level meetings with the good people at Union Carbide and vast amounts of toxic waste are being loaded into tankers as I write this!
Little do these fools know that my henchmen and women have been busy adding spurious names to the petitions. "Barack Obama," "Sarah Palin" and "Dalai Lama" have all added their names to the petion to name only a few!
And if that plan is foiled, I have my army of evil robots waiting to wreak havoc in Port Angeles. "Oh ho," I hear you say. "Don't pull my leg, Doctor Nosferatu. Whoever heard of an army of evil robots?" Well laugh all you want, fools! Perhaps you should take a closer look at Laurel Street. Eleven of my evil robots are waiting!
Bwah-ha-ha-ha!
Yours sincerely,
Doctor Nosferatu
Solution? User pays.
I hate to shatter illusions, but holding a "save our pool" placard isn't going to make the deficit go away.
Anybody go to that meeting last night about the pool?
Sorry to tell you, but I drive my family all the way to SARC and pay their outrageous fees, on top of the gas it takes to drive there... just to swim in a warm pool.
Just a suggestion.
