Unanimous Rochester City Council support for reopening the Silver Lake Park pool was met with a more tepid response from the city’s Park Board on Tuesday.
“It’s a one-year fix,” said Park Board President Linnea Archer. “We are not really fixing Silver Lake pool, we are just opening it up with duct tape and Band-Aids so it is open.”
Following a 95-minute discussion, the Park Board voted 4-1 to support a plan adopted by the City Council’s proposal to spend $95,000 to reopen and operate the pool that has been closed since the end of the 2019 season.

1970 - Four students at Kent State University were killed and 11 wounded by National Guard troops at a campus demonstration protesting the escalation of the Vietnam War. The incident inspired Neil Young to compose Ohio , which became a hit for Crosby Stills Nash & Young. Jimmy McDonough writes in the Neil Young Biography Shakey about the song Ohio : In ten lines, Young captured the fear, frustration and anger felt by the youth across the country and set it to a lumbering D-modal death march that hammered home the dread.
Young considers this the best song he wrote with CSN&Y. It s still hard to believe I had to write this song. It s ironic that I capitalized on the death of these American students. Probably the most important lesson ever learned at an American place of learning.
