The Smithville Municipal Pool will reopen Wednesday morning and Report Card day will be Thursday.
Students may present their report cards Thursday from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and swim free.
Jimmy Lewis, operator of the Golf Course and Swimming Pool, says the pool was inspected last week, and while the well water used to fill the pool passed inspection, the swimming pool had to be drained because the pool has only one chlorinator and two chlorinators are required when well water is used for swimming, one at the pool and one at the well
Lewis says the pool has now been filled with city water which does meet the requirements with one chlorinator.
Lewis says the pool will have a second chlorinator within a few days, so that well water can be used to refill the pool next year.

While our dead heroes of all wars are remembered and honored on national
Memorial Day and at various Decoration Days at many cemeteries,
Confederate Memorial Day is dedicated to those who served so bravely and
honorably in the cause of Southern Independence 1861 to 1865. Our
Governor has again issued a proclamation in support of honoring those
who served and fought long and hard against great odds.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans, Savage-Goodner Camp of DeKalb County
honored those in a ceremony placing a wreath on the Confederate Monument
at the Court House and at the grave of the Unknown Confederate Soldier in
the Smithville Town Cemetery.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans exists for the purpose of honoring
those ancestors and preserving the TRUTH of our history and their cause
against a malicious campaign of falsification and distortion, not only
against the Confederacy but all of Southern history and culture.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans stands one hundred per cent in favor of
education in TRUTH. The Southern people are the most loyal of American
citizens. Most native Southerners can name ancestors or relatives who
have fought in every war for the past 300 years. We deserve better than
to be vilified and portrayed as inferior in any way. We have every
reason to be proud of our heritage, and thus we salute our ancestors and
honor them at every opportunity, mainly by BEING Southern and proud of
it. We are mindful of the Fifth Commandment in Holy Writ, “Honor thy
father and thy mother”. We abhor the absurdity of the notion of
“generation gap” invented in the 1960s to the great detriment of our
culture.
