Lifeguard shortage grows as pools seek staff
Lifeguards remain scarce nationwide as water parks expand and hours extend. Cities like Beckley and operators such as Cincinnati Pool Management race to recruit year round, raise benefits, and fund training, while Red Cross and new programs push candidates aged 11 to 14 into the field. Strong incentives include pay, free park access, and friend-referral bonuses.

Hafner Boosts Indians With Strong Work Ethic and Luck
Indians general manager Shapiro gambled by trading 20 percent of the rotation for a six year minor leaguer and later shipped Colon out. Hafner's character and work ethic emerged as a clubhouse catalyst as he arrives early for batting practice and aims to replicate past success. Casey Blake notes Hafner is only human while teammates expect continued impact.
