Council raises swimming pool fees

There was a lot of talk at the Monday, April 3, Crofton city council meeting.
The first action taken by the board was to increase pool rates. City clerk Nancy Foxhoven checked other area pool fees and found Crofton rates to be in the lower half of the fees, and usually the lowest.
Family season passes were as high as $75 to a low of $60 at Crofton. Individual passes ranged from $40 to $30 -- again the lowest being Crofton. Daily adult and student charges were fairly even, balancing between $2-3. Lessons were $25 in Creighton to the low of $15 in Crofton.
The council approved an increase in all areas as follows: family season pass - $75; single season pass - $40; daily adult and student fees will be the same at $3 each; and lessons will be $25 with a $5 discount if the student’s family has a season pass. The board felt this would help defray some of the expense incurred at the pool instead of dipping into other accounts to pay for repairs and upkeep.

Concern over internet sites prompts school action

Concerns about students’ photos and personal information appearing on internet sites prompted the Crofton Community Schools to tighten internet use rules recently.
Superintendent Randy Anderson mailed a letter to all school district patrons last week citing recent discoveries “that many of the students of Crofton Community School were being depicted on such websites as facebook.com, myface.com, vampirefreaks.com and other such websites.”
“An instructor noticed that a student was on one of those sites during school time,” Anderson explained.
He said school officials investigated the site, posing as an internet user trying to gain access, and were invited onto the site. “We found that (the site) was using the school name and were placing students names and personal information on the site.” That information included such things as phone numbers, addresses pictures of students and their friends and other such information.
