We were alerted from an emailer to the "help save the pool" article which apperared in the BCCT a few weeks back.
The following is from the comment section. It is interesting to see how our elected officials and others were perceived. Thumbs down to Stephen Worob, and Ed Baily!

The turn out for our event was not as good as we would have liked, However I had the pleasure to meet a couple of the Council members. Jane Burger, Very nice lady, Listened to what we had to say and acted as if she wanted to put some of our ideas into consideration (Thank You), Stephen Worob, Felt like what we were saying was going in one ear and out the other, Had all the answers and we could offer nothing new?

And to justify the disgraceful condition on "We don't own it" is no more than a cop-out! I think we should drop all the politicking and start taking care of the community. We have begun to plan next years event which will be held on July 10th 2010 I hope to see more of the town take part! Special thanks to Rita Ledger for donateing back her winnings from the 50/50, Cindy Prawki for all the efforts she put into this event, Brad Sharp for comeing up from South Carolina to attend our event. And lastly to those who attend, Next year will be much larger with a year of planning We are hopeing to have Wanda Cummings Kartal, as the chairperson (if she will accept
