Letter to the Editor
To the Editor,
There was a letter in the
paper a couple of weeks ago
concerning the pool being built
I at Hager Park. The author was
. concerned about increased
L traffic and noise problems. I'd
like to respond to those issues.
I live right next to the old
pool. I've lived in this house for
16 years. I listened to the noise
from the pool every day it was
open. It was always good
noise. To hear kids laughing
and playing was very enjoyable
to us. To watch kids start in the
shallow end of the pool and a
few years later watch them dive
from the board was terrific. We
used to spend evenings in our
back yard, just so we could
watch and listen to the pool's
happy noise. We enjoyed it.
We miss it. We'd welcome it
back. Yes, there was noise, but
it wasn't loud, rowdy noise. It
wasn't excessive noise. It was
happy laughs and good clean
fun. We miss it.
Yes, there was some traffic.
It was slow traffic that watch
ed for children. Yes, even the
teenagers were good about it
most of the time.
I'd even welcome the traffic
back if I could just have the
pool open. It was a small price
to pay for having a pool for our
kids.
I hope you can enjoy the pool
as much as we did, if it should
be built in your neighborhood.
I would be very excited and
happy to have it back in my
neighborhood.

Sea Explorers offer sailing program
To the Editor,
Jason Cameron, step-son of
Chris DeSpain whose family
lives in your area, read an arti
cle in your paper last month
about Joe Wilhelm and his
desire to establish a youth Sail
ing program. Upon returning
from his family reunion, Jason,
a member of the Sea Ex
plorer Scout Ship Richard A.
McCullah, in St. Helens, call
ed me to see if our unit could
help Mr. Wilhelm.
1 spoke with Mr. and Mrs.
Wihelm and explained that Sea
Explorer Scouting, as part of
the Boy Scouts of America, has
the resources to meet the needs
for Mr. Wilhelm's sailing pro
gram. Commodore Thor Sabo,
head of Sea Explorer Scouting
in the Cascade Pacific Council,
has been informed and is anx
iously awaiting the opportuni
ty to support the youths in your
community.
As the Skipper of the S.E.S.
McCullah, I'v seen young men
and women who have never
sailed or boated turn into ex
cellent boat handlers. Jason
Cameron, as an example, had
never crewed a sailboat. Now,
thanks to Sea Scouts, the Elks,
and the St. Helens Yacht Club,
Mr. Cameron has become the
Boat Keeper of our Shock 25
sailboat. Named "N O FEAR"
by the crew, our sailboat and
crew took fourth place in the
Cascade Pacific Council, Area
Sea Explorer Regatta the
weekend of the 20th.
We are sending information
about Sea Explorer Scouting to
Mr. vVilhelm and look forward
to assisting in any way we can.
Please feel free to contact me
if we can supply any informa
tion which would help you and
your community.
Sincerely and appreciatively,
(s)Gregory A. Rekart
