Exercise Programs Comments Off on Letters to the Editor: Kudos on pool – The Baxter Bulletin

Letters to the editor(Photo: File)

I am again sending many thanks to all who managed the Cooper Park swimming pool programs this past summer. From Rick the manager, to Nick the assistant manager, to all the lifeguards who worked the hours to see that the pool had guards so that we, the public, could enjoy its benefits.

The pool brought great joy to all ages, from the very young, who enjoyed being taught how to swim, to us not so very young, who greatly enjoyed having the swim exercise programs(both morning and evening) and to all ages in between, who just wanted to come and enjoy having fun at the pool.

This year was an exceptional year at the pool because the management made it so. Im sure I speak for all who enjoyed it when I say a bigthank you and hope that you continue again next year. There is nothing better than to be greeted with the enthusiasm and warmness that the management expressed this past swim season in particular.

Thanks to the Mayor for realizing our swim facilities are a very important part of our park services. I hope that he will again know how important it is to operate the pool from, at least, Memorial Day through Labor Day, as is generally the timeline for all outdoor pools across the country.

We, of course, would like the timeline to be extended as the month of September is usually very warm. We also realize that the pool could not be extended due to lifeguards being scarce.

We would also like the powers that be to think outside the box and contemplate hiring more high school guards, some who only attend school half days and would be available for perhaps a shorter version of swim hours, such as from 3-7:30 p.m. It would give all a chance to enjoy the pool vies a vie children after school as well as lap swimmers coming from work and, of course, a swim exercise class which would please many, myself included.

My fondest dream is that we can find a few millionaires who would like to see a much needed indoor swim complex and donate to same. My vision is that it would be built right next to the hospital (a wellness opportunity) where it could be used for all sorts of activities including therapy for patients, high school swim teams and the public in general.

This town is becoming big enough to accommodate an indoor facility and the hospital grounds would be a perfect place to showcase it. Of course, this is my idea of thinking outside the box. What a wonderful wellness opportunity it would be for the hospital.

As a song goes If I were a rich man and another that someone sang many years ago youve got to have a dream, if you dont have a dreamhow you gonna have your dreams come true.This is my dream. Whats yours?

Do you ever wonder why the Democrats and some Republicans are so intent on impeaching President Trump? Do you suppose it could have to do with his promise to drain the swamp?

If any American cannot see through the lies and deceit going on in Washington, then I fear, they are part of the problem.

The devils plan to remove In God We Trust from what was once the greatest country in the history of mankind was so obvious during the Obama, Clinton, and Biden years, and, thanks be to God, many Americans realized what was going on and elected Donald Trump to the Presidency.

While President Trump may not be someone you would want to have dinner with, can we not honestly look at what he has accomplished rather than selfishly trying to destroy him and his family in any way possible?

Obviously, the swamp does need to be drained, and is it not time that the American voter seeks Gods guidance before voting in the next election? And if they cant do that, then I believe that they need the prayers of all Christians.

For Donald Trump, he thinks that the hate from the Democratic party in Congress is incredible?

For Democrats, there is no hate for Trump because it is the other way around, and that it is Mr. Trump who is causing the hate against the Democrats.

He simply misled Fox and Friends on that issue and the issue of the impeachment inquiry. But it is his own words that are the cause for concern much because there is too much hate on the right wing media side, especially the kind of bad rhetoric coming from Rush Limbaugh and from Fox News.

But Mr. Trump is the most hateful president we have ever had in the history of our republic.

The American people are tired of the Democrat/Socialist/Communist Party (DSCP_ wasting three years of time and money on their own corrupt political agenda. Their ideas on law are in line with what a Communist country would have.

Democrat Congressman Quigleysaid that hearsay (evidence based no on a witness' personal knowledge but on another's statement not made under oath) is better than the truth. And using hearsay is OK with them for their impeachment proceedings.

All the DSCP representatives who vote for impeachment should be voted out of office. They are not fulfilling their duties to the American citizen. All the things that need to be done are being neglected, so when it comes time to vote neglect the Democrats.

The only things they are after is power and control. How do you like the looks of their plan so far? Open borders, lawlessness, expanded abortion, healthcare for illegal aliens paid for by the taxpayer and it goes on and on.

We can't fund the programs we have now, so where is the money coming from? They don't know, we are just supposed to believe them. I guess if you want to be poor and controlled, vote them in, if not vote them out.

But in the meantime, pray for them, for us and our country. God bless America.

Reader's Digest sent me a free copy of their magazine hoping that I would buy a subscription.

According to them, most Americans want to have more gun control.

The more I read, the more I realized they are beating around the bush. What they really want is to make it impossible for me to have a gun.

Reader's Digest quoted surveys that support their views, if they want to get some real info why son't they go to Hong Kong or Venezuela and ask them about gun control.

If everybody in Venezuela had an AK-47 with a 30-round magazine, old Happy Hugo would be long gone.

The Second Amendment means nothing to the enlightened (do-gooders) because they know what is best for me. They are so much smarter than Thomas Jefferson.

There is no reasoning with the people that want to help me and save me because I don't understand sensible gun control.

If we just lock up all of the guns and turn all of the nuts loos, we will all be safe.
