Groundbreaking at new pool

Several members of the Mount Ayr Aquatic Committee pose in front of an excavator at the site of the new Judge Lewis Pool. Pictured are (l-r) Meredith Dredge, Lywanda Case, Angie Glendenning, City Administrator Brent Wise, Chandra Poore, Joan Jackson, and Tammy Rychnovsky. Destruction of the old pool (below) is currently underway by Schaefer Excavating. Officials hope the new pool is ready to kick off the swim season next spring.
