WINDS DELAY REMOVAL OF BUBBLE OVER CENTRAL'S POOL

Adverse weather Tuesday prevented the scheduled removal of the Central High School Swimming Pool "bubble." Plans are now to take down the structure Thursday, weather permitting, according to Randy Barnhouse, aquatics coordinator with the Cape Girardeau Parks and Recreation Department.

Barnhouse said the wind was above the safe limits to bring the bubble down safely. "Because of the delay in removing the bubble, the Central pool will not opened this week. If the bubble is removed on Thursday, we plan to open the Central pool on Monday at 1 p.m.," Barnhouse said.

"We remind swimmers that the Capaha pool is now open daily through this Sunday from 1-8 p.m. After the Central pool opens next week, the Capaha pool will be open from 1-5 p.m. daily," he said.
