While hot, humid weather may be a factor in people’s own rising temperatures regarding the Town of Le Roy’s recreation pool policy, Town Supervisor Jim Farnholz suspects there may be something else contributing to several online complaints.

“To be frank, I think social media certainly has a play in it. You know, irrelevant comments from people who live out of state or internet trolls, there's a portion of that,” he said during an interview with The Batavian Thursday.

The Le Roy Community Pool was the place to be today with humidity high and temperatures well into the 80s. Dozens and dozens of residents made use of the pool, including above, Micheal Iten and 6-year-old son, Elijah, who was learning to jump into the water. Playing with Michael and Elijah is family friend Erin Overacker.

This item is on the agenda for tomorrow night’s regular village board meeting at 7 p.m. at the village hall! A community proposal will be outlined that includes generous donations of time, labor and money to get the pool up to code and open. Currently, these generous community members are willing to get it open, but have put the responsibility back on the village and town to continue to run it together as they were before.

I would like to encourage you to please attend tomorrow night’s meeting to hear this proposal and decide for yourself if you are in support of this. It is no secret that I am in support of opening it and running it, but the village board needs to hear from you -- the taxpayers and consumers of the village and town (the village maintains it, but the town participates).

Until the pool is filled in, it is not too late to save it, if that is what the people of Le Roy want. Please attend the meeting tomorrow night.

Thank you.
