On Tuesday, the Rochester Park Board agreed with a City Council plan to pull the Silver Lake Pool out of the city budget scrap heap and operate it for one more year . at a cost of $95,000. And that doesn t include permanent fixes of the 43-year-old pool s many shortcomings.

Unified approach to our local parks
Prineville is definitely growing, and we need to be prepared for what comes next
I don t know about you, but I like to keep an eye on the real estate market. I m always intrigued by what s for sale, how much it costs, and what s being built. Have you noticed how expensive houses in Prineville have become? As I click around on various listings, most of them have a pending notice on them!
Prineville is definitely growing, and we need to be prepared for what s next. That is precisely why Crook County Parks and Recreation District and the City of Prineville have spent the last year and a half working on a Unified Parks and Recreation System Plan. You may have heard about this plan online or in the paper, but if you are like me, you may be wondering, What on earth is this thing and what s the big deal?
