[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's also indoor.[/quote]

But it's also available year-round.  It seems boneheaded to lose a playing field that is used 7 0r 8 months out of the year, as well as tennis courts that are used almost as long, for a facility that will be open (assuming adequate operating funding year to year) at most 3 months out of the year.[/quote]

I don't live near Hearst so I don't really have a dog in the fight, but as a rational person I am annoyed by the argument that there has to be a pool at Hearst because there is no "outdoor pool" in "Ward 3." Indoor pools are adequate substitutes for outdoor pools. [b]Ward boundaries are imaginary lines. It's the kind of argument you come up with if you start with the conclusion and then work backwards developing reasons[/b].[/quote]

Not to mention that with the relatively large population growth in Ward 2 over the past several years, the next ward realignment could well result in Ward 3's boundary being moved slightly south.  So Jelleff might shift from Ward 2 to Ward 3, and Ward 3 will wind up with its own swimming pool after all.  And basically cost free![/quote]
