"swimming and pools are an important part of our community," says salvatore. there's a lot of people that take a lot of ownership and pride in them. so, we're making our decisions with all that in mind and we're delicately approaching the situation, trying to make the best decision possible." the committee will meet, again, on november 2nd to continue their discussion. that discussion includes the idea for a regional aquatics center. if built, it would be in morningside in the same area as the proposed cone park project. the proposal, al and sarah, includes waterslides, zero-depth entry and a lazy

"that's what we're hoping for." cole and police chief mark prosser have been looking into the case since the beginning. they say they have had leads in be suspects.s. while they are hopeful and believe they will complete the investigation, they still funeral at the buena vista
