ALEXANDRIA BAY â Come summertime, there may be no lifeguards available to watch the village beach. According to village Trustee Julia Erck, nobody has applied to work as a village lifeguard yet this year. She said the village has had an ongoing issue getting enough lifeguards every year, but this year is the first time in recent memory they havenât had any applicants at all. Facing a total lack of lifeguards for this year, Mrs. Erck said that if the village doesnât get some applicants before the season begins, theyâll have to keep the villageâs public beach closed.
