WPCNR MAIN STREET JOURNAL. July 19, 2005. UPDATED 11:45 A.M. E.D.T. UPDATED FRIDAY, JULY 22, 2005:  WPCNR HAS learned the air conditioning was restored to the Slater Center Thursday afternoon and "everything's cool."

Heather Miller, new Executive Director of the Slater Center told WPCNR earlier this week that the  Fischer Avenue youth center air conditioning remains off for the third consecutive day Wednesday, but stressed that the City of White Plains has contracted to have the air conditioning fixed and that it is being worked on.

Miller said the city has been very responsive but could not tell WPCNR when the city had told her the air conditioning would be restored. Ms. Miller did not say what was wrong with the air conditioner. (Our source told us it was a broken compressor, but Ms. Miller apparently could not confirm that.) Ms. Miller said the city has contracted for a private firm to repair the air conditioning, and that it was being worked.

Asked what the temperature was in the building, Miller said she did know, but the program directors are dealing with the situation, and the parents of children in the programs are aware of the situation.

 Miller said the air conditioning was discovered malfunctioning Monday because the Center was not in use on the weekends.
