Irene Wasserman
Irene Helen Wasserman, born February 28, 1939, went to meet all her loved ones on March 8, 2017. Today my father lost the love of his life, 62 years of marriage. We lost the heart of the family. In her earlier years my parents traveled the country and world. She worked as a nursing supervisor at many VA hospitals in Wisconsin, Michigan, Mississippi, Florida, and finally Alabama. She and my father spent their golden years trying to save and adopt out close to 100 animals in the community as Southern Skies Animal Sanctuary. I watched her feed and nurse many disabled dogs. She will be missed by her children, Darlene Sifuentes, Christine Pierson; grandchildren, Robert Sifuentes, Vincent Sifuentes, Alicia Aldridge, Anthony Sifuentes, James Shelby and Joseph Pierson. She will be deeply missed by her sister-in-law, Linda Majewski; nephew, DeWaynn Majewski; her longtime friend, Edna Miller, and fifteen great grandchildren. People asked why waste your time saving one dog? “But saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog the world will change forever.” We miss you. Love Dad, Darlene and Andrew.

TEXTILE MILL
The turnover comes after years of debate between the city council and previous Boards of Recreation over a new recreation center. The board purposed an $11.1 million dollar recreation center that would be a multi-use facility with a track, soccer fields, tennis courts and a or any other industrial setting before 1980: pool. Currently, the Rec department You may have a claim against the asbestos manufacture budget is $350,00 a year. The center brings in between $50,000Call now for your free evaluation. 75,000 a year. This is a large deficit. Many believe a new state-of-the-art rec center would generate enough money to bring

the Rec Department out of the red. While nearly everyone agrees that the current recreation facilities need to be updated, there is little agreement over how the facility will be funded. Early in 2016, the recreation board proposed creating a board just for funding the project. However, after much discussion, that funding board was never created. Back in October of 2016, councilman Darrell Wilson asked the finance committee to add a line item for a new swimming pool. The city’s pool was built
in 1954 and is entirely outdated. The Tallassee Sharks swim team practices in the pool but because of the size, no swim meets can be held in there. Many believe the ability to hold swim meets in Tallassee would generate funds with the amount of out-of-towners that the event would bring. A lot is still up in the air and the debate over a new recreation center continues. One thing is certain; these new board members will have a large task at hand.
