Markell Gnadt's letter to the editor in the May 18 issue of the Gazette was well written and exactly on point. Having been on the pool board in the past I know how much time and effort goes into operating the swimming pool, the last thing I wanted was to insult the board or imply that all there is to running the pool is "hiring guards", the pool board was and still is crucial in helping the city to get the pool up and running, and I hope they will continue to provide guidance.
Volunteers are the lifeblood of a small community, thank you to the pool board and anyone who volunteers their time and energy, you are all very much appreciated.
-Greg Franka, Garretson City Councilor
