Riverside Pool to Serve Vito's Pizza

With Summer comes fun in the sun, swimming, and...pizza? 

Riverside Pool is slated to open for the season this Saturday, with operations having been taken over by the Findlay Family YMCA.  While the snack bar will still be serving the standard fare of candy bars, sodas, and chips, there will also be something more substantial for pool-goers: Vito's Pizza. 

Slices of either pepperoni or cheese pizza will go for $1 each, as will everything else at the snack bar.  This is keeping in accordance with the change in admission price from last year's $4 per person to only $1 per person this year.  The Findlay Family YMCA wants to increase the community's usage of the pool, as well as provide a safe, wholesome environment for kids while they are out of school; they hope that lowering prices across the board would make the pool a more affordable destination for all.

Riverside Park Pool, located at 231 McManness Ave., will open for the season at 1 p.m. this Saturday, May 29th. Daily admission will cost $1 for a youth, $3 for an adult and $5 for families. Season passes for the public, which can be obtained at the YMCA, are $50 for youth, $75 for adults and $115 for families.

If you happen to stop by the snack bar, grab a couple of slices for us.

Vito's Under New Management

Sources tell us that Vito's Pizza has just hired a new General Manager.  Their former GM, who has been with them since their opening last summer, stepped down due to health problems and will now serve as one of their two Assistant Managers.

While we don't know the name of the newly hired manager, we have it on good authority that he boasts more than 15 years' experience in a General Manager capacity.  With credentials like that, we're sure he will be a competent and successful addition to the Vito's team.

Trial Delayed In Vito's Pizza Robbery

Back in November, Vito's Pizzeria (located at 1500 N. Main St.) was robbed at knifepoint. However, the trial date for the suspect (originally slated for May 17th), has been delayed.

Christian T. Kryling, 38, was scheduled for trial May 17, but Hancock County Common Pleas Judge Joseph Niemeyer agreed Thursday to delay the trial until June 14 at the request of Kryling's attorney, Christopher Zografides.

Police said Kryling entered the pizzeria wearing a mask, brandished a knife and demanded money from the cash register. He fled on foot after the clerk gave him money and was arrested by police the next day, police said.

Kryling was indicted for aggravated robbery, a first-degree felony. He is being held in the Hancock County jail on a $250,000 bond.
