City: 'Unsafe situation' at Lake Worth beach

Click title for reference to a story that Channel 5 aired yesterday. It's about how the city doesn't have lifeguards at the beach on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Joe Kroll, acting as city spokesperson, calls it an unsafe situation and that for the next six weeks, they will staff the beach with guards for all seven days. After that, who knows?

I have some information which I will post later today that itemizes the number of instances where assistance of some sort was rendered to beach-goers. This information is generated by the city and, I assume, was available to Commissioners and staff prior to making the decision to not provide lifeguards at the beach two days a week. You will be amazed that our Commission would violate its own ordinances and not have a lifeguard presence given the volume of incidents.

Let's just say for now that sharks are not familiar with the concept of Tuesday and Wednesday.
