WE ARE A GOOD 10 DEGRESS BELOW NORMAL DAILY.
THE MAQUOKETA YMCA SWIMMING POOL REMAINS CLOSED. THE PROBLEM...THE CEILING HANGING ACOUSTIC PANELS, BLUE AND GRAY, SHOWN ABOVE. THEY LOOK NICE AND THEY KEEP SOUND LEVELS DOWN.
THREE HAVE DROPPED INTO THE POOL. EACH TIME, NO ONE WAS THERE AND NO ONE HURT BUT THIS COULD HAPPEN WITH MANY IN THE POOL.
MORE COULD FALL. SCOTT WARREN, MANAGER OF THE Y, SAYS THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO DO, BUT ARE INVESTIGATING SOLUTIONS. THEY HANG BY WIRES AND THE EYELETS GIVE AWAY. THERE ARE 3 WITH EACH PANEL AND ONCE ONE GIVES WAY, IT PUTS PRESSURE ON THE OTHER TWO AND

ON OLD HIGHWAY 61, ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE INTERPRETIVE CENTER
LAND AND WATER AREA.
