                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m scratching my noggin.&amp;nbsp; Why is NOR Parks and Rec considering spending $15 million on a water park?&amp;nbsp; If it&#039;s such a great investment, you would think someone in the private sector would be scrambling to build one.&amp;nbsp; Furthermore, where is the money coming from?&amp;nbsp; Where is the water coming from?&amp;nbsp; The City has recently destroyed some pools and replaced them with sprinklers.&amp;nbsp; (Yuck)&amp;nbsp; I&#039;m getting off track.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My noggin is still scratchy.&amp;nbsp; Guess I should pack my Head and Shoulders and head for the closest water park.&amp;nbsp; Let me know what you think.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

                <title>JASTRO LIKE HART PARK</title>

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;What a shame another City pool is slated for demolition.&amp;nbsp; Just like Hart Park faded to its present state - will Jastro Park follow?&amp;nbsp; How unfortunate.&amp;nbsp; I wish our wise City Council could find a way to keep a pool.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Couldn&#039;t the repair fees be disguised as a tax to help recharge the groundwater aquifer?&amp;nbsp; You think the savings from teaching kids to swim rather than tragically drowning and then their families sue the City could pay for the repairs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bring back the WPA for welfare recipients.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Our infrastructure would get much needed repairs.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;People would learn a skill and gain pride in their work.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;The welfare roll &lt;u&gt;might&lt;/u&gt; decline.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Teach them to fish instead of feeding them fish.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Again - what a shame.&amp;nbsp; At least I have fond memories&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>
