Empty Budget=Empty Pool

It is reported that the Bowers Mansion Pool will be closed this summer in response to the county’s budget shortfall in this KTVN article.

“We’ve shut down our pools in Bowers Mansion and Washoe Valley and up in Sun Valley. The future of the Sierra Sage Golf Course will be determined between now and September 30th,” says spokesman Bob Harmon.”"

    This is bad news forsure. Taking my Grandkids to Bower’s Pool is one of the highlights of our summer :( Let’s just hope it opens in 2010.

    Who would i contact to suggest a community center (not the land owners building either) be built in this area for the kids, there is not a whole lot to do for children out here who are not into “horses” or can afford one, the kids out here are beginning to run wild and need something positive to do, by closing the pool they have just taken one of the only close to home activities away from the kids, our children are also important out here and it seems everyone has pushed them to the side and forgotten about them, we dont need anymore bars or “adult” only things to do out here, lets think about the kids for once…
