Under the guidance of drama advisor and school guidance counselor Cheryl Giffen, lines are being perfected, costumes are being tailored, and sets are being completed as the students get ready to perform the second and final production of the year. Despite the challenge of getting all the participating students to work together, stage manager Katelyn Ward said she is confident this production will be a crowd pleaser. This year there are lots of people from all different grades and it's great to see everybody working so hard. Unexpected arrivals and departures of television people and loved ones make for amusing moments. The water and sewage problems caused the police department to close the locker room, but they may not be as big a deal as first thought.
Further investigation points to a possibly easy solution.
A number of different possible causes were developed, along with possible solutions. According to Knapp, the solution may be simple. This happened shortly after we had a power failure. Because the shower and toilet in the locker room are too low to allow gravity to feed wastewater and sewage into the sewer system, a pump was installed to pump the waste into a pump tank, where gravity took over the process. Since the problem started after the power failure, and the toilet in the handicap bathroom, which feeds to the septic system by gravity, did not overflow, the pump for the locker room facilities is the problem.
