Editorial — Diving in: Town of Potsdam will assume all control of Postwood Beach

Information from the past two weeks regarding recreational opportunities in the town and village of Potsdam brought both cheers and jeers. The good news is that the beach at Postwood Park in Hannawa Falls will open this season. The Town Board announced June 23 that it will assume “full financial and operational responsibility” of the beach. This resolved a concern that the beach would not open this year. Trey T. Smutz, director of recreation for the village of Potsdam, told members of the Potsdam Village Board of Trustees on June 21 that Postwood Beach was unsafe and under-staffed.
