This trivia night will be fun AND an excellent opportunity to talk to the Recreation Commission about on-going concerns pertaining to the pool.

The pool survived last summer but it's hard to trust it will be around in a few years. The town is losing an estimate $70,000 per year by overstaffing with more lifeguards than needed and refusing revenue. Instead of common sense cost controls, Gary Dickson is already warning that the pool will raise taxes.

There's still time to revise the safety plan with the Erie County Department of Health to have the proper number of lifeguards per shift (8) and restore capacity to 300 people. The time to act is now and a Recreation Commission is supposed to share the community's concerns with the town board.
