Just because we think the city should do more (and I do), doesn't mean the league should have gone ahead without planning for the possibility of losing the fields early. Soccer is my sport of choice. I spent 2 years on their board, one year painting and maintaining fields and another running the snack bar (both very labor-intensive jobs). I am a referee, assistant coach, and will probably attempt a return to the soccer board next season as work kept me away this season. My volunteer time is well spent in Grand Terrace.Brian R.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016082288082672981.post-14385101244669677512009-06-07T21:16:06.591-07:002009-06-07T21:16:06.591-07:00Brian, do you even realize how much other cities d...Brian, do you even realize how much other cities do for their local leagues???? Our league pays for field maintenance (the city waters the grass only), the league pays for lighting and must pay a player fee for every child that plays, regardless if they can afford to pay the registration fee. And you think it is the league's complete responsibility to find and fund baseball fields? Wow, that's a huge responsibility for a league run by volunteers and an organization for kids living within our city. Our community is small, maybe you'd like to volunteer labor to help us out? We have very few people who can be totally dedicated to this effort, meanwhile the city -- who receives our tax money-- have people who are paid to do jobs like this. Does that answer your question? It's too late to place blame anyway, we need to get to work for next season. There will be a next season.BookLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459035375884078486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016082288082672981.post-31738939510123966482009-05-18T22:44:00.000-07:002009-05-18T22:44:00.000-07:00This has been public information for three years n...This has been public information for three years now. According to Russ Sulzmann, Little league knew they were losing the fields, the only question was if they would make it thru the season. They thought they would make it. They knew that they wouldn't have them next year though. What arrangements did they make for next year...and the years after? Is it really the city's responsibility? I'm not sure, just asking.Brian Reinarznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016082288082672981.post-22929674984723089202009-05-18T10:20:00.000-07:002009-05-18T10:20:00.000-07:00Well, maybe the district won't build us fields... ...Well, maybe the district won't build us fields... but I do think Grand Terrace should rebuild us some fields!!!<br /><br />I don't understand how a city can sell our fields in 2006, THREE YEARS AGO... and not have built us another complex IN THE MEAN TIME.. <br /><br />We just found out about the field sale 4 DAYS BEFORE OUR OPENING CEREMONIES... They knew for THREE YEARS!!!<br />That really upsets me.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534463785605832840noreply@blogger.com
