A "Missy"ed Field Opportunity

By enitch
  • Snow storm

    Snow storm drops 8" on Maple Grange
  • Snow melting

    Saturday morning - less than 4" of snow remains on MG fields.
    By 5:00pm, less than 1" remains covering the turf.
  • Maple Grange fields OPEN

    Fields are ready for games by 1:00pm
  • Email from Naomi

    Addressed to all coaches and board members:
    It has come to my attention that someone (whose name will not be mentioned) was at MG on Friday shoveling the snow off the field. PEOPLE......WE ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO DO ANY TYPE OF MAINTENANCE ON THE FIELDS!
  • EN phone call to Missy @ 10:50am

    Missy and I spoke on the phone regarding the use of plastic and/or rubber tipped shovels at MG. It was clearly explained to EN that it was not so much causing field damage, but more of a concern of injury from shoveling or worse - heart attack occurring on Township property. Using proper equipment to clear snow from MG had been permitted up until the snow storm of October 2011. (The change of this policy does not appear in writing or has been made public anywhere.)
  • Snow storm

    Storm drops 8" of snow and ice on MG.
  • Email from Naomi @ 1:00pm DO NOT REMOVE SNOW

    Indicating MG "is still snow covered but we can go out...". In bold capital letters "DO NOT HAVE ANYONE TRY AND REMOVE THE SNOW OFF MG-F"
  • 25-30 People clearing snow off MG Back

    Message received from a VYS coach who is at MG watching "people" clearing snow off MG-Back.
  • Phone call and VM to Missy @ 1:24pm

    Phone call to Missy - Left VM. (to discuss what had transpired on March 20, the "rules" we just discussed on Tuesday March 12th, and the fact that MG Back is completely unplayable due to the actions and poor job done by 25-30 "volunteers", not to mention lack of communication from Community Affairs in that, if authorization WAS given to clear snow off fields, why was VYS not afforded that same opportunity?
  • Message received @ 1:55pm "Maple Grange Closed"

    Missy Wiedbrouck never returned my call.
