Sweltering Thomas Slater Center Kids Should Receive Relief by Early Thursday PM

Posted on July 21, 2005 by John Bailey

WPCNR WINBROOK PRIDE. July 20, 2005: A CitizeNetReporter has contacted WPCNR to say that cranes were lifting two new compressor pumps to the roof of the Thomas Slater Center Wednesday afternoon. Our street reporter, speaking with the contractor, was assured by the contractor that one of the pumps would be working by early Thursday afternoon, which would be enough air conditioning power to make the bulding climate endurable. The Center’s air conditioning was discovered to be not working Monday morning. Programs continued for the 100 or so youngsters in the building without cooling on the three hottest most uncomfortable days of the summer. Once the single pump is active, our correspondent assures us, the building will be comfortable. The second pump is expected to be online by Monday.
