Lakeside Chautauqua

July 2-8, 2016

Pool & Wellness Center Update


	Preliminary design of the Community Swimming Pool in the open field near the Williams Tennis Campus.

Since the Pool & Wellness Center idea began, the Lakeside staff, boards and Pool & Wellness Community Taskforce have, appropriately, received a multitude of questions about what lies on the horizon.

We would like to begin by thanking Lakesiders for taking a vested interest in the future.

What will the whole thing look like?
Walking into the facility from E. Sixth St., there is a small set of stairs and a ramp with a patio area reminiscent of Hoover Auditorium.

The building has two spaces, one on the left and one on the right. The left is a concession area. The space on the right is a lifeguard office, as well as a restroom area that is accessible at all times of the day, even when the pool itself is closed.

Walking forward, is the 6,500 sq. foot pool, capable of holding more than 400 swimmers. The deck around the pool has a capacity of approximately 1,600 individuals.

Strolling along the right side of the pool is another building, which includes a security office, restrooms and changing room, as well as a mechanical room containing pumps for the pool and other such items.

This Year's Grand Marshal: Tom Edwards

The Grand Marshal for this year's Fourth of July Float Parade will be Tom Edwards, who served as Lakeside Executive Director from 1981-1988, a very transformational time in Lakeside's history.

Edwards was born in Bay City, Mich. in 1939, grew up in nearby Port Clinton and spent summers at Lakeside as a child. He attended Bowling Green State University, where he earned his bachelor's degree in business, as well as his Master of Business Administration. After graduating, he served in the U.S. Army as a first lieutenant in Fort Gordon, Ga.

During summers while in college, he opened and owned Tom's Toggery, a clothing store in Lakeside, which he operated until he joined the Army. This was the beginning of a successful career that would continue when his time with the Army was completed in 1963.

The Texas Tenors

Lakeside is excited to welcome back The Texas Tenors to the Hoover Auditorium stage at 8:15 p.m. Saturday, July 2.

With their Emmy Award-winning PBS special now airing across the country, and Billboard chart topping albums, it is easy to see why The Texas Tenors are America's favorite tenors.

The trio, made up of John Hagen, Marcus Collins and JC Fisher, had more than 100 million people tune into NBC's "America's Got Talent" in 2009 to see them become the highest-ranking vocal group in the history of the show. Since then, The Texas Tenors have accumulated a long list of awards with their unique blend of country, classical, Broadway and current pop music.

Lakeside Shufflers are Atop the World

In October, four longtime Lakesiders earned top 10 spots at the 34th International Shuffleboard Association (ISA) Tournament, held in Clearwater, Fla.

The World Singles format featured 48 women and 60 men, selected by 10 nations, competing in separate divisions. World Singles are now held on alternate years from World Team events.

The top 10 earn guaranteed entry into the 2017 World Singles. Many Lakesiders fondly remember the ISA Team events held at Lakeside in 1995 and 2006.

Dr. Bob Jones, Jr., in his first ISA event, went undefeated and became the reigning World Champion. Jones will hold his title until at least 2017, when he will have the opportunity to defend it. Jones received a coveted golden cue, which is presented to each World Champion.

In the Women's: Marilynn Phifer achieved ninth place. Phifer is the Lakeside Shuffleboard Club's (LSC) Youth Tournament Director. She started playing as an adult with her family and then in LSC mixers and has now successfully competed in five ISA Championships.

In the Men's: Chris Cermak earned eighth place in his first ISA Singles competition. Cermak is President of the Upper Arlington Shuffleboard Club.

Bill Hoyer earned fifth place, which followed his second place finish at the 2013 ISA World Singles. Hoyer is 1st Vice-President of the Ohio Shuffleboard Association and a frequent youth tournament LSC volunteer.

Cermak, Hoyer and Jones are each fine examples of "graduates" of the Lakeside youth shuffleboard program.

Lakeside Shuffleboard is unique to the world. You can start at almost any age and become world-class.
