“Splashtactular” water slide
Thursday, 28 February 2013 00:00
IT’S A WINDING ROAD — Large tubes were erected last week for the county’s new “Splashtactular” water slide as a concrete foundation was poured for the new swimming pool concession stand. The rest of the slide will be completed at a later date. Meanwhile work has begun on the adjacent county park with soil being removed for the playscape foundations and walking paths. Construction is said to be on schedule so the pool and park may open on Memorial Day weekend. — PHOTO BY KATHY MANKIN
SCMC to see new doctor
Thursday, 28 February 2013 00:00
Schleicher County Hospital District trustees held their first-ever board meeting in the new hospital Monday evening, just five days after the new facility opened.
Hospital Administrator Paul Burke updated the board on the move from the old hospital and shared with them some of the challenges his staff faced.
Building a water slide — Brandon Saul (L) and Kevin Gales (R) assemble an open-topped 42-inch water chute at the Schleicher County Swimming Pool. The men are employed by Water Park Company of Pennsylvania. When completed the chute will measure more than 97 feet but won’t appear that long because of its figure-eight design. When it’s operational, some 800-1,000 gallons of water will spill down the chute each minute, providing a wet and exciting ride down from the 14-foot tall tower at the heart of the slide known as the Splashtacular. — PHOTO BY KATHY MANKIN
