Activists, commissioners square off over Mt. Lebanon’s ‘toxic’ turf UPDATED

See today's Almanac article by Nick Lewandowski, Activists, commissioners square off over Mt. Lebanon’s ‘toxic’ turf (Saved in Google Docs)

Tonight, the commissioners decide on toxic tire crumb infill or toxic organic infill at Middle and Wildcat Fields.

John Bendel and Dave Brumfield have both said that tire crumb infill is safe. Try to throw away a tire, guys. It won't be collected on garbage day.

Additionally, if you are interested in buying a field sign, here is the link on the municipal website. Hit a home run at the ballfield. "Proceeds from your highly visible ad will go directly toward maintenance and enhancement of the athletic fields." From what I understand, the sports parents have not been told about how their groups have donated toward the toxic turf project. Looks like the ad money is going that route too.

In case you are wondering, here are the field schedules for next year.
Field Schedule Fall 2014
Field Schedule Spring 2015

Looks like Lacrosse made out like bandits. When the YSA presentation was made in 2012, Non-YSA member and Lacrosse's Jordan Halter presented the plan. (Here is the cleaned up version without the bid exclusions.)  It pays to have a commissioner involved with lacrosse, doesn't it?

Update May 13, 2014 4:00 PM Will the municipality advertise for this sign? It is only $4.75.
