The William L. Welch Community Swimming Pool, located on Westerly Parkway near State College High School, was reopened this weekend with a First Splash ceremony that saw Mayor Gorehamn in attendance -- and participating -- as well as scores of kids and parents excited to try out what is the coolest water facility I've seen in a long time.
The history of the William L. Welch Community Swimming Pool dates back to 1959, when it was constructed for $350,000. On Saturday the pool was reopened after a $5.2 million reconstruction project that transformed the facility into nothing short of a water park.
Jim Tressel, one of the most successful head football coaches in the history of the Ohio State Buckeyes, and one who had repeatedly foiled the Nittany Lions' hopes of beating one of their biggest rivals, has resigned this morning after ten seasons.

It looks like the state will now act before the university does though.
