" It's time Thatcher buy & run their own pool.

Mr. Hinton negotiate a deal with Cota to build one. I'm certain with your good friendship you can swing a deal.
Especially since Safford subsidizes the cost of everything else.

What does Thatcher pay for? You can use that surplus of cash that you receive from Safford sharing revenue from Wal-Mart & the other Safford businesses. "

" Does Cota Construction build pools? If they do then maybe Thatcher will have him build a pool. "

" Someday, I am talking about the comment that was made about how all the polotitions in Safford are from thatcher, and that is why i made the comment if they didnt like who was in office then they needed to be a more active voter and go out there and vote. Look at all the crap with Ron Green and we have are "lovly" vice mayor Jason Kouts these people are in there because not enough people stood behind the other canidates and voted,so we are stuck with the same crap, and you live in thatcher, sorry.

" Hint to Whatever.Have you ever seen the town of thatcher put a notice in the paper about when they are up for election? Same way with the EAC board,only until you see the names on a ballot.But they do put it on a piece of paper in the front of town hall so it is legal,same with EAC.It really is time for change.Wonder how much Thatcher spent for Vals and the electric system,did they ask the taxpayers about spending that kind of money,no,never will.

" Gunn, ask the Emperor of Thatcher, His Royal Heinee King for Life Terry Hinton (when he's not out fishing with Cota)

Maybe Thatcher is just wiser in how it handles its money than everyone else? "




Gunn wrote on Aug 3, 2008 4:24 PM:

" I find it funny that everytime a question about Thatcher comes up everyone starts talking about the Safford City Gov. and town councel. Maybe we should spend more time taling aobut the Thatcher town councel and ask where all the tax payer money is going. We all know its not going in the city pool, or golfcourse, or wastwater plant, or drinking water system, or landfill, or airport. Maybe THatcher can get some advice from Pima on how to get a community pool. Thatcher is the definition of freeloader. "




Whatever wrote on Aug 3, 2008 12:28 PM:

" Obviously people like the city councel or they wouldnt have voted them in If you dont like them shut your mouth and go register and put your vote in. I think that thatcher should start spending there money on imlproving there own town and stop depending on the towns around them, and by the way I believe last I knew Terry Hiton has a business in Safford. It dont matter were you live everybody in this area that is in office has lived in this area all there lives. "

" Thatcher runs Safford. Think about it.

The acting city manager lives in Thatcher. The utility director lives in Thatcher. The chief of police lives in Thatcher.

The special projects director lives where? The human resources director lives where?

So who running Safford lives in Safford? Pete Stasiak and the fire chief.

So none of these people who run Safford actually have to live under the laws and conditions they impose on Safford do they? "




also a retired lifeguard wrote on Jul 28, 2008 8:39 AM:

" I just hope that if Thatcher does build a new pool they run it like a pool should be run. Why on earth are we using a million dollar pool 3 months out of the year? The idiot manager named Duane says because people don't use it enough but if you talk with the citizens they all say they would use it mor, no one has ever left it open to see. What about Schools and other organizations using it? The city never seems to make the pool a priority after spending so much money!! "

retired lifeguard safford pool wrote on Jul 26, 2008 9:14 PM:

" This is not the first time this question has been raised! I worked at the Safford Pool for many years and there has always been a need for another pool! One of the problems is that Safford officials can't run the safford pool the right way so everyone can enjoy it! Pete Stasiak is always worrying about how good he looks instead of how the pool runs. the pool can support ALL valley kids if it was run half way right!! "




Just like wrote on Jul 25, 2008 3:59 PM:

" Just like Thatcher. They want money from Wal-mart, the golf course, and wnat to use saffords pool, airport, city workers, and golf course to get them put on the map. They would not even participate in the revenue sharing by including Home Depot but want a % of the revenue from the new Wal-Mart. They need their own cookie jar to put their hands in. "

" Chong! Don't let everyone know!! but the rumors are true... Thatcher is planning to annex the Safford pool... and I hear even the airport by next summer!

Now that Long's gone, is Green seen? "

" I did not make this comment. I always sign in as Pima2 but the system will not accept that anymore i guess. So i am changing my name to PimaTwo.
As far as Thatcher and their pool goes i also did not like the atmoshphere at the EAC pool. They ran it like a prison camp back when i went there. My scout troop had to go to Globe to complete our Scuba Diving Lessons since EAC would not let us in their pool with our tanks on. Thatcher is full of good people. Just ask them. "




Someday wrote on Jul 24, 2008 3:03 PM:

" Good point hi-tide the valley has a lot more kids and the need for another pool would be well spent money.Our kids need something more to do than x-boxes, play-stations,not a whole lot of things to do in the Gila Valley on these hot days. So lets build them a nice pool and lets hope things have changed a little bit.Not LDS but it must of been bad back then for you to have to ride to Safford to swim. "




Hi-tide wrote on Jul 24, 2008 2:29 PM:

" To Somebody: I didn't ride a horse, I rode my bicycle from Thatcher almost everyday to the Safford pool. Me and my friends were never picked on at the Safford pool like we got picked on by the Mormon kids at the EAC pool.Get a clue, the pools in Safford and Pima are more crowded now because more people in the Valley than 20 years ago.

" That's crap if it is true that the Town of Thatcher refused to help with expenses for the pool. Community memebers have used it for years. "




Someday wrote on Jul 24, 2008 10:12 AM:

" Hi-tide,was there a place to tie up your horse when you went swimming.Have you ever seen how full the pools are at Safford and Pima. Kids are kids no matter where they live. "




Pima wrote on Jul 24, 2008 9:42 AM:

" If Pima can affoard their own pool so can Thatcher. Its just a matter of politics and who can save the most money by milking off their neighbors. "




hi-tide wrote on Jul 24, 2008 7:22 AM:

" Thatcher doesn't need a pool. When I was a kid I thought the Safford pool was much better than EAC's. The pool was bigger,the lifeguards were nicer and the kids swimming there weren't all snooty like the Thatcher kids at EAC's pool. Besides I don't want to pay for it. "




Thatcher Resident wrote on Jul 23, 2008 10:35 PM:

" I totally agree that Thatcher needs its own pool and shouldn't depend on EAC or anyone else to provide that service to the community. Maybe they can use the money they got from selling the town shop to build a pool. Oh I forgot they will need that money plus about a million more to build a new town shop so they have a place to work on things. "




Chong wrote on Jul 23, 2008 8:28 PM:

" the residents of thatcher need not worry about a pool, you will have one pretty soon. Rumor has it that terry Hinton and the Thatcher town council are planning on annexing the City of Saffords new pool. This way thatcher will reap the revenues and Safford will pay for the pool,daily operations costs, and repairs. Sound Familiar, IT SHOULD. "




Someday wrote on Jul 23, 2008 8:10 PM:

" Answer to EAC pool,rumor has it EAC contacted the CEO town manager as EAC wanted the town to help with some of the costs Response for CEO, not our problem.but they spent how much on the purchase of Vals.The money spent on a decent pool would benefit the whole town and county.How about going in with EAC to build a proud of pool.Proud of Mr Zinc.
