Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 565 apprentice Richard Farmer polishes stainless steel railing the apprentice class is fabricating for the diving boards at Southwood Park’s pool Tuesday night at the union hall on Cedar Grove Road off West Virginia 47. The City of Parkersburg is furnishing the materials while the union’s apprentices are providing the labor, including fabrication and installation, at no charge. Mayor Tom Joyce said purchasing new diving boards would have been cost-prohibitive, but this arrangement saves the city money while giving the apprentices experience. (Photo by Evan Bevins)
