CLOSED CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY BEAVER COUNTY.
LET'S CALL THIS, UH, BEING MORE OF CALLS, A WORD, PLEASE STAND FOR THE PLEDGE TO AMERICA.
WELL, WELCOME TO THE MAY 26 VERSION OF THE, UH, PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD.
UH, WHY DON'T YOU START, CARLOS, WE'LL GO AROUND THIS WAY.
CARLOS J UH, ROSA COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD.
RYAN'S LIKE SENIOR ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST.
UM, DO WE HAVE, UH, SOMEBODY REVIEWED THE AGENDA AND CAN I GET A MOTION TO APPROVE IT? UM, THEY'RE VERY GOOD.
UH, DO WE HAVE ANYONE HERE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT? THERE YOU GO.
I, I WON'T THINK OF MUCH OF YOUR TIME TODAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME, UH, BOARD MEMBERS AND STAFF.
UH, MY NAME IS RYAN STEFAN AND I REPRESENTED GROWING UP A SECURE, UH, ADVOCACY GROUP CALLED BLUFFTON BMX.
UH, OUR GOAL IS TO ESTABLISH BIKING OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL AGES IN THE GREATER BLUFFTON BEAVER COUNTY AREA.
UH, CURRENTLY WE'RE MARRIED, FORTUNATE TO HAVE FACILITIES AND PARKS WHERE WE CAN PLAY BASEBALL, SOCCER, TENNIS, BASKETBALL, SWIM, LIFT WEIGHTS, WALK TRAILS, AND YOU KNOW IT, UM, HOWEVER, THERE ARE VERY FEW OF ANY AREAS WHERE KIDS WERE ADULTS CAN RIDE BY SCHOOL SAFELY AWAY FROM BUSY STREETS WITH DRIVERS.
UH, WE'RE VERY AWARE AND THANKFUL FOR YOUR CURRENT MASTER PLANNING INITIATIVE AND HAVE VOICED OUR SUPPORT AT PUBLIC WORKSHOPS.
HOWEVER, AS MANY, UM, WHO ARE ENTHUSIASTS CAN NOT ATTEND THIS.
I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU TODAY.
UH, WE ARE PROPOSING A LOW MAINTENANCE, COMPACT AND AFFORDABLE BICYCLE PUMP TRACK TO INSTALLED AT ONE OF YOUR PARK LOCATIONS.
UH, THESE TRACKS CAN ACCOMMODATE MANY PARTICIPANTS AT ONCE.
THEY'RE ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL AGES AND ABILITIES.
THEY HAVE REQUIRED NO ONSITE STAFF.
THEY'RE FREE FOR THE PUBLIC, UH, AND WILL INCREASE THE DAILY USE OF THE LAND, UH, BEING THAT THERE ARE NO SUCH ATTRACTS WITHIN HOURS OF HERE, AND IT WILL BE A HIGHLY DESIRABLE ASSET TO YOUR PARTNER.
UH, FLEXIBLE DESIGN CAN BLEND IN WITH IT WITH EXISTING STRUCTURES AND THE RESULT WILL PROVIDE A SAFE AND FUN ENVIRONMENT PROVIDERS TO ENJOY IT.
UH, WE ARE ENCOURAGING YOU TO CONSIDER SOME OF THE NEGATIVE OR UNUSED SPACE AT EXISTING PARKS.
THREE IDEAL LOCATIONS COULD BE THE MC RILEY SPORTS COMPLEX, THE OSCAR FRAZIER PARK OR THE BUCHWALD REC CENTER HERE, UH, WHILE THE BUCHWALD'S OR SKATE PARK IS GREAT FOR ADVANCED USE, VERY FEW YOUNGER OR INEXPERIENCED RIDERS CAN TAKE PART IN THAT.
UM, SHOULD YOUR TEAM IDENTIFY LAND SUITABLE FOR THIS CAUSE UH, OUR GROUP WOULD LOVE TO HELP FUNDRAISE OR GROW COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR THAT.
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS NEED FOR INDIVIDUAL OUTDOOR RECREATION AND ADD A PUMP TRACK TO YOUR MASTER PLAN.
AND IN HERE, I CAN JUST LEAVE WITH YOU.
I DIDN'T HAVE THE FORMAL PRESENTATION READY, BUT THIS JUST HAS SOME AERIAL SHOTS OF SOME OF YOUR PARKS CURRENTLY AND SOME VACANT LAND THAT I THINK COULD BE SUITABLE FOR SUCH A COMPACT, UH, PUMP TRACK, UM, YOU KNOW, FINE TRACK.
IT'S BASICALLY A VERY COMPACT, UH, EITHER DIRT OR ASPHALT, UM, MATERIAL WOULD JUST ESSENTIALLY ROLLERS LIKE THIS.
SO LIKE A BICYCLE OR A SKATEBOARD OR A SCOOTER, THEY JUST USED THEIR MOMENTUM TO GENERATE FORCE AND JUST GO AROUND THE TRACK.
I MEAN, IT'S SUPER LOW MAINTENANCE.
UM, ANY ABILITY CAN DO IT AND THEY'RE VERY POPULAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY NOW REALLY WELL.
I MEAN, IT DEPENDS ON THE MATERIAL AND SIZE, SO I DON'T HAVE SPECIFICS, BUT I THINK YOU CAN GO FROM VERY AFFORDABLE TO THE UPPER END.
AND THERE, I MEAN, IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A DISCUSSION LATER ON AND TO HAVE IT TALK TO YOU ABOUT YEAH.
YOU KNOW, SO YOU YOU'VE MADE CONTACT THAT YOU MADE CONTACT WITH.
[00:05:01]
AND THIS IS, YEAH, THIS IS JUST THE FIRST RUN AT, UM, I KNOW YOU'RE GOING THROUGH YOUR MASTER PLANNING.AND SO I JUST WANTED TO HAVE SORT OF THIS IN YOUR MIND THAT IF YOU DID IDENTIFY SOME SPACE, THIS COULD BE A SPACE PILLAR.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD ENJOY AND USE IT.
AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE PART OF YOUR GROUP? UH WE'RE RIGHT NOW, IT'S JUST A FACEBOOK GROUP.
WE HAVE ABOUT 200 SUPPORTERS ON THERE, BUT LIKE, THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO IT'S LIKE IF YOU BUILD IT AND THEY WOULD COME TYPE OF THING.
I MEAN, EVERY KID ON THE BLOCK HAS A BICYCLE OR A SCOOTER OR A SKATEBOARD.
THEY WOULD LOVE TO BE PART OF THAT.
I HAVE ALWAYS COME OVER HERE ALL THE TIME, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT'S A LITTLE BIT TOO.
UM, A WORD IS, UH, SCARY FOR HIM BECAUSE IT'S JUST, IT'S TOO BIG.
I MEAN, THEY'RE A LITTLE GUYS AND THEY CAN'T, THEY CAN'T DROP IN, THEY CAN JUST CRUISE AROUND, BUT LIKE ON TRACK, IT'S EASY TO DO IT.
WHERE'S THE CLOSEST TO US AND HAD, UH, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA.
UM, I THINK ONE, THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING IN ROCK HILL.
UM, THERE IS UP SOMETHING MAYBE BY CHARLOTTE, NOTHING AROUND HERE AND ALSO INCLUDED THE NEWS, LIKE OLD PICTURES OF WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.
AND THEN, UM, JUST SAT ON THE SPORT AND HEALTH GROWTH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AS, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE HERE? OH, OKAY.
UH, HAS EVERYONE HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THE MEETING MINUTES FROM MARCH 3RD? YEAH.
ONE THING THAT, UH, I WOULD POINT OUT HERE IS I HAD ASKED, UM, I THINK, UH, PRIOR IT'S IN THE MINUTES ABOUT ALREADY VILLAGE RECREATION, UH, FACILITY AND, UH, WHAT THEIR, WHAT THEIR FEES AND EVERYTHING WERE, AND THIS WAS ATTACHED DOWN HERE.
SO HAS ANYBODY BEEN TO THAT COMPLEX? YOU'VE DRIVEN AROUND HERE.
SO THIS IS, UH, AND I THINK IT, BECAUSE I HAD RECEIVED, I THINK WHAT PROMPTED MY ASK OF THAT WAS I HADN'T SEEN SOMETHING IN THE MAIL IN LONDON, UH, FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THE, OVER THERE.
SO, UM, AS, AS ANYONE FROM THE STAFF, MATT, HAVE YOU LOOKED AT ANY OF THESE THINGS AND HOW DOES THAT MATCH UP TO US? YEAH, I'M THINKING I'M LOOKING AT SOME OF THE STUFF ON A WEBSITE.
UH, I THINK WE MENTIONED IT PRETTY GOOD.
I THINK THE ONLY THING THEY, THING THAT THEY PROVIDE AND WE GO INTO A PIVOT BALL, WHICH I THINK WE'VE GONE SEVERAL TIMES ON THE ISSUES WITH INDOOR PAVE ALL OF OUR FACILITIES, BUT, UH, BUT, UH, I THINK THEIR, THEIR RATES ARE A LOT HIGHER THAN OURS IN SOME AREAS MORE RESISTANT THAN OTHER, BUT I THINK, I THINK WE'RE DOING FLOORS, RIGHT.
THAT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO KNOW WHAT THE COMPETITION IS DOING.
SO DO I HAVE A, A, A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ARGUMENTS? SO MARCH THERE, THERE'S A MOTION.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THE EQUIPMENT HAS ARRIVED.
WE ACTUALLY HAD PEOPLE IN THE FACILITY, UM, THEY'RE TRICKLING IN, NOT OUT OF THE TRUCK LIMBS BY ANY MEANS, BUT THEY ARE STARTING TO SHOW UP.
UM, WE DIDN'T HAVE SOMEBODY WORKING OUT.
UM, HOPEFULLY IT'LL PICK UP, YOU KNOW, ONLY TIME WILL TELL WITH THAT FACILITY.
SO, UM, BUT SO FAR SO GOOD, THE TENNIS COURTS UP LIKE THIS THIS MORNING, YOU CAN SEE WE NO LONGER HAVE TENNIS COURTS.
UM, THEY'RE DOWN TO THE DIRT, BEND THINGS OUT.
THE ONLY THING LEFT THERE IS THE BAD THINGS AND THE LIGHTS.
SO THEY ARE MOVING RIGHT ALONG WITH IT, UM, AT A PRETTY RAPID PACE.
UM, HOPEFULLY YOU'LL SEE SOME MORE PROGRESS BY THEN.
WELL, BY THE NEXT MEETING, HOPING YOU
[00:10:01]
WOULD SEE THE HOMELESS AND THE TENNIS COURTS, UM, CAUSE THEY'RE MOVING ALONG PRETTY FAST.THE PROJECT ON ALONG, THEY'VE BEEN, IT'S ONE OF OUR BETTER PROJECTS AND THAT WAS WHERE WE HAD THE GRANT FOR THE DRAINING AND STUFF WE ENDED UP WITH.
UM, SO THIS WAS THE ONE TOO THAT, UM, Y'ALL GOT ADDED TO THE NAME AND CHUCK AND I ARE GOING TO WORK ON THAT TO GET THAT
IS THAT GOING TO BE STRICTLY FANTASY OR IS THERE GOING TO BE THERE WRINKLY TENNIS? CERTAINLY AFTER THE ARGUMENT IN THE ROOM, BUT I THINK I'M STILL RIGHT WHERE IT STANDS.
WE ARE WORKING, UM, ON CARRYING OVER THE FUNDING TO NEXT YEAR IN HOPES THAT, UM, WITH ENGINEERING, THE PROCESS WILL PICK UP, UM, THEY DID ANDY, ANDREA JUST RETIRED, SO THEY ARE DOWN ONE, BUT HOPEFULLY, UM, WE ARE GOING TO CARRY THAT OVER AND THIS PROJECT WILL GET UNDERWAY AFTER JULY 1ST.
SO JUST SO YOU GUYS, CAUSE I KNOW YOU A LOT.
IF WE HADN'T BEEN IN THERE, I TOOK SOME PICTURES.
SO YOU COULD ACTUALLY SEE HOW BAD THE BEAMS REALLY ARE IN THE PHONE.
UM, THEY TODAY'S THE 25TH, THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GETTING MATERIALS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SHOWING UP TODAY.
UM, THEY ARE GOING TO START BY DOING AN EIGHT BY EIGHT FOOT SECTION OF THE ROOF AND REPLACING IT LITTLE LIGHT TIME.
UM, THE LAST UPDATE THAT WE GOT THERE IN HOPES THAT THAT PART OF IT WILL BE COMPLETED BY AUGUST THE END OF AUGUST.
SO, UM, HOPEFULLY THE POOL WILL BE UP AND MOVING AGAIN, BOBBY, THE, HIS OFFICE.
UM, WE DID GET THE FUNDING IN PLACE TO REPLACE THE HPAC, UM, AT ALL THREE POOLS AND THE FUNDINGS TO GO AHEAD AND DO THE ROOF AT THE OTHER TWO, CAUSE THAT WHEN THIS ONE GETS DONE, WE'LL START ON THE OTHER TWO, ONE AT A TIME.
UM, HE HAD CAME BY YESTERDAY, UM, AND HIS ALLOWED US FOR TWO YEARS SINCE COVID, UM, ACTUALLY, UM, ASKED US WHEN COVID TOOK PLACE TO OPEN THE DOORS, RUN SOME FANS THROUGH, UM, BECAUSE OF COVID.
UM, WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT SINCE WE HAD CLOSED FOR COVID AND REOPEN, AND THEN THEY CAME BY YESTERDAY AND TOLD US WE GOTTA SHUT THE DOORS OR ELSE THEY'RE GOING TO CLOSE THIS DOWN.
SO, UM, I GOT TO GET, SIT DOWN AND FIGURE OUT WE'RE GOING TO PUT TEMPORARY FENCING UP FOR RIGHT NOW BACK THE ORANGE FENCE BECAUSE, UM, THE GUARDS HAVE SHUT THE DOOR AND IT'S OVER A HUNDRED DEGREES IN THERE.
SO, UM, HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HELP RELIEVE SOME OF THAT, BUT HE WAS FULL, WAS GONNA BE RIGHT AT A HALF A MILLION TO REPLACE THE IT'S A HALF MAYBE FOR THE MECHANICAL AND RIGHT AS A MILLION FOR THE STRUGGLE.
SO, SO THAT DECISION WAS THAT, WHAT IS THIS GOING TO DO FOR THE LIFESPAN OF THE POOL? RIGHT? SO I MEAN, THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN ALL THREE POOLS.
AND WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS, UH, BE REACTIVE TO IT AND HAVE ADDITIONAL POOL CLOSURES FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
WE WANT TO GET AHEAD OF IT, MANAGE IT, GET THIS ONE BACK OPEN, UH, AND ON OUR OWN TIMELINE, PUT OUT NOTICES CLOSED IN PACKING MATERIAL, READY TO GO GET THE CONTRACTOR UP.
SO THE CLOSURE TIMES ARE, IS SMALL, BUT THIS IS THE, THIS IS THE, UH, SHORT-TERM PLAN.
I MEAN, THIS WAS THE RESOLUTION OF THAT FUNDING PURPLE FOR THESE THREE SITES.
WE CLEARLY, WE STILL HAVE CAPACITY PROBLEMS OUT IN THE MOD AS PART OF THE MASTER PLANNING PROCESS COMING UP WITH THE FUNDING FOR THAT THERE ARE POOL FUNDS AND THE IMPACT FEES, THE PROPOSED IMPACT FEES THAT ARE OUT THERE YET TO BE PASSED.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO IGA IS MAKING PROGRESS.
WE'LL ASSESS IT, WE'LL HAVE A 10 YEAR PLAN THAT INCLUDES ADDITIONAL PASSING STUFF.
UM, AND FOR THAT MATTER, BUT RIGHT NOW, UH, THESE THREE POOLS, WE THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE SCHOOL LOCATIONS THERE FOR WHAT WE DO AND UH, SUMMER CAMP AND SENIORS.
[00:15:01]
THIS IS OUR NEW ST HELENA SITE.UM, WE ACTUALLY WERE AWARDED THE RFP FOR, UM, WITH LOW COG, UM, TO TAKE OVER THE SENIOR PROGRAM THROUGHOUT PIMA COUNTY.
UM, AS SOME OF YOU REMEMBER YEARS AGO, WE DID THE SENIORS WHEN WE TURN THE PROGRAM OVER TO LOVE HOUSE.
UM, AND THEY RAN SOME OF OUR SITES AND THEN, UM, LIKE COUNTRY COUNSELING ON AGING, RAN THE ST.
HELENA BURTON MILES AND BLUFFED INSIGHT.
UM, WHEN THIS CAME UP OR BEEN, WE WENT IN AND, UM, AND ENDED UP BEING AWARDED THE SENIOR PROGRAM, UM, TO RUN AND WE WILL HAVE SIX SITES.
SO WE'LL BE RUNNING SCOTT AS WELL AS ST.
HELENA, WHICH WE ARE RUNNING FROM THE, THE WAY MORNING ROUND CENTER NEXT TO THE ST.
UM, WE WILL BE BACK IN BLUFFTON.
WE WILL BE DOING, UM, BOOKER T PORT ROYAL AND BURTON WELLS.
SO, UM, THAT STARTS JULY THE FIRST, WE WILL ALSO BE DOING THE MEAL DEAL AT HOME MEAL DELIVERY SERVICES.
FOR THOSE THAT QUALIFY THREE O'CLOCK TO GET HOME DELIVERED MEALS.
AND WE WILL BE DOING THE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES THAT WILL PICK THE SENIORS UP AND BRING THEM TO THE CENTERS EACH DAY, UM, BORE THEIR MAILS, BINGO, PAY THEIR ELECTRIC BILLS, GAMES, CARDS, PRICES, RIGHT? WHAT HAPPY.
UM, WE HAVE MET WITH THESE GROUP OF SENIORS, UM, OUT OF ST.
UM, THEY'RE THEY ARE KEEPING THEIR CURRENT EMPLOYEE THAT'S THERE.
UM, THE BURTON WELLS, SENIORS, NOT SO EXCITED BECAUSE, UM, THEIR LADY THAT WORKS, IT'S NOT INTERESTED IN SAYING THAT WE'RE HIRING SOMEONE NEW FOR THEIR, UM, THE BLUFFTON SITE IS SUPER, SUPER EXCITED.
UM, WE HAVE OUR OLDEST SENIOR, THERE IS, UM, MS. RIVER SHE'S 101 YEARS OLD AND SHE HAD JUST TOLD SOMEONE THE OTHER DAY, SHE DIDN'T THINK THAT WE WOULD BE BACK HOME BEFORE SHE ENDED UP PASSING AWAY.
SO SHE'S SUPER EXCITED THAT SHE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME BACK.
UM, WE, UM, DID A PRESS RELEASE OUT ON IT.
UM, AS OF YESTERDAY WE HAD 11 SENIORS THAT HAVE ALREADY SIGNED UP FOR SCOTT, OF COURSE, UM, THIS, UM, ST HELENA CAMP, UM, ALREADY HAS BETWEEN 25 AND 40 SENIORS THAT GO THERE.
BLUFFTON ALREADY HAD FIVE SINAI POUR OIL HAS GOT FIVE SIGNED UP AND BOOKER, T'S GOT SEVEN SIGNED UP.
SO IT'S, SO THIS IS A MONDAY ON FRIDAY PROGRAM ALL YEAR LONG.
I AM A TOURIST AND TO DO A LOT OF PILOTING YEAH.
SO WE'RE SUPER EXCITED ABOUT IT.
I THINK, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT PROGRAM.
UM, IT WAS VERY STRESSFUL, NEW, AND, UM, MANOJ BOTH DID OUR FIRST RFP AND NEVER DONE ONE BEFORE.
UM, SO HE DID THAT ENGLISH A LOT, PROBABLY HAD A MELTDOWN THE OTHER 10% OF THE TIME, CAUSE I WAS SO NERVOUS.
UM, BUT SO WHERE DOES THE FUCK IS THIS, IS THIS A SERVICE THAT THEY, ANYTHING FOR THE SERVICE OR DO WE GET FUNDING FOR THEM? WE WILL GET, WE WILL GET REIMBURSED HER, THE MEALS AND PER THE TRANSPORTATION THAT IS PROVIDED.
UM, THEIR REQUIREMENTS ARE 25 MINIMUM PER SITE.
UM, IN MEETING WITH THEM, THEY, THEY UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE TAKING THIS OVER AND IT TAKES SOME TIME TO DEVELOP A BUILD UP.
SO THEY'LL GIVE US A MONTH OR SO.
AND THEN IF WE DON'T SEE 25 IN EACH SITE, THEN WE CAN ASK FOR, UH, UM, VARIANCE PER SITE UNTIL WE CAN BUILD UP THOSE NUMBERS.
THEY DO, UM, ASK THAT THE SENIORS PAY WHAT THEY CAN PAY.
UM, THEY PASS AROUND A BASKET.
UM, HE WAS EXPLAINING TO ME THAT, UM, IN ONE OF THE AREAS OF THE STATE THAT THEY ACTUALLY GET OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND A YEAR THAT THEY COLLECT FROM THE SENIORS.
UM, BUT I THINK IN SOME OF OUR AREAS, IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, UM, WHERE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN PROVIDING FOR THE SENIORS AND THEY BASICALLY RELY ON US FOR SOME OF THE MEALS.
SO, UM, YEAH, WE, I'M SURE AT SOME POINT IT'S GOING TO BE TRIAL AND ERROR OVER THE FIRST YEAR TO SAVE FUNDING WISE.
YOU KNOW WHAT WE PUT IN THE BUDGET, GUESSING WISE, WHAT WE GET BACK, YOU KNOW, WHAT IT COSTS US WHERE
[00:20:01]
WE'RE AT.UM, COUNTY ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN EXTREMELY SUPPORTIVE OF IT.
WE HAD A MEETING LAST WEEK AND, UH, YOU KNOW, HE ASKED ME, ARE YOU GOOD WITH THIS? AND I SAID, YEAH, I'M NERVOUS.
I'M WORRIED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BUDGET NOT HAVING ENOUGH.
AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
YOU KNOW, WE GOT YOU COVERED AND WE WANT TO MAKE THIS A SUCCESSFUL.
UM, I EXPLAINED TO HIM, I ONLY HAD THREE VANS AND HE IMMEDIATELY AGREED TO ORDER THREE MORE TO MAKE SURE WE HAD ONE 15 PASSENGER VANITY SITE.
UM, WE'VE ALWAYS SERVICED THE CHILDREN.
UM, WE DID AT ONE TIME SERVICE FOR SENIORS.
UH, I DON'T THINK THAT WE SERVICED THEM TO THE POTENTIAL THAT WE CAN.
AND I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE WHERE WE'RE AT.
UM, WE'VE GOT THE SUPPORT OF HIRING SIX FULL-TIME, UM, FOR ONE FULL-TIME SITE, THE PROGRAM SUPERVISOR TO OVERSEE IT AS WELL AS THE SIX PART-TIME TO, UM, DO THE BUSES AND HELP DELIVER THE MEALS.
THEY'RE ALL IN PLACE AND READY TO GO.
AND IS THIS ALL SPECIFIC OR DO THEY ALSO GO PLACES OTHER THAN BEING AT A SITE NOW WE'LL GET 'EM TOGETHER.
UM, YEARS AGO WHEN WE HIT, UM, SENIORS, IT'S PROBABLY BEEN EIGHT, 10 YEARS AGO, LIKE THE BLUFFTON CENTER, WE HAD A BIG SENIOR PROM WITH THE SENIORS AND, YOU KNOW, GOT THEM ALL TOGETHER.
SO WE'LL HAVE GATHERINGS WHERE WE GET THEM TOGETHER AND DO THINGS TOGETHER.
UM, BUT THEY, UM, MOST OF THEM WILL REPORT TO THE SITES WITHIN THEIR AREAS THAT THEY LIVE.
CAUSE WE'LL PICK THEM UP AND WRITE ON EACH.
AND HOW DO THESE PEOPLE, ONE THING I WANTED THEM TO CABINET TODAY WAS THROUGH, UM, FACEBOOK AND THINK YOU'RE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB WITH, UH, GETTING, YOU KNOW, OUR SOME ROCK STUFF ON FACEBOOK FEED.
I SEE THAT A LOT MORE AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY GOOD.
YOU KNOW, THIS SEGMENT OF SOCIETY IS PROBABLY NOT NECESSARILY SOMEWHERE LOOKING AT FACEBOOK, BUT MOST OF THEM ARE, HOW ARE WE GETTING THE WORD OUT? LIKE YOU SAID, YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT YOUR CHURCH.
HOW ARE WE GOING ABOUT THAT? UM, CHRIS DOES, UH, OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER.
HE PUTS THINGS OUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY GO OUT THROUGH ALL KINDS OF MEDIA.
THAT WAS PART OF THE REASON WITH, UM, HIRING AND WE AGREED.
UM, ERIC AGREED TO ALLOW US TO, TO BRING THESE PEOPLE ON ONE STARTED LAST WEEK.
UM, THE BLUFFTON SITE, LUCKILY, UM, BARBARA CAMPBELL THAT USED TO WORK WITH ME 20 YEARS AGO.
UM, AFTER SHE RETIRED, SHE CAME BACK AND VOLUNTEERED EVERY WEEK WITH THE SENIORS.
SO I IMMEDIATELY REACHED OUT TO HER AND SHE IMMEDIATELY STARTED REACHING OUT TO ALL HER PEOPLE AND, YOU KNOW, WORD SPREAD IN THAT WAY.
UM, I'VE EVEN PUT IT ON NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS NEXT DOOR OR WHATEVER THE ACT IS.
UM, YOU KNOW, D TO GET THE WORD OUT THERE BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE, EVEN THOUGH THE SENIORS DON'T READ IT, THEY HAVE CHILDREN OR WHATEVER THAT READS FOR THEM AND TELLS THEM, UM, THEY, UM, MOST OF THESE LEMONS, THIS ONE RIGHT HERE, MS. FAULKNER, SHE ACTUALLY LIVES IN PORT ROYAL.
UM, SO SHE'S BEEN GOING HERE, UM, AND SHE SAID, I'M NOT LEAVING ST.
SO I, I THINK I'VE GOT HER CONDUCTS THAT SHE'S GOING TO DO A COUPLE OF DAYS IN PORT ROYAL SO THAT SHE CAN RECRUIT ALL OF HER FRIENDS.
AND, YOU KNOW, WITH THESE PEOPLE BRINGING ON THESE FULL-TIME PEOPLE, THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THEIR THING TO DO IS TO GET OUT, UM, AND, AND INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND TRY TO REACH OUT TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE.
UM, MOST OF THE SENIORS COME IN AT NINE AND THEY LEAVE IT TO OUR THOUGHT PROCESS AND THE FULL-TIME PEOPLE WOULD, UM, THAT THEY WOULD COME IN, THEY WOULD DO THEIR NINE TO TWO.
AND THEN IN THE AFTERNOON THEY WOULD GET AFTER-SCHOOL STARTED THAT.
WE'RE HOPING TO START BACK UP AT SOME OF THESE SITES, UM, FOR NOW, SINCE AFTER SCHOOL WAS NOT IN ONCE THEY STARTED JULY, THE FIRST THEY'LL GO TO THEIR SITES.
SO DID THE SENIORS, AND THEN THEY'LL GET OUT AND WORK ON BUILDING THE PROGRAM IN THE AFTERNOON.
AND HOW MANY, HOW MANY, UH, AT THE STAFFING LEVELS WE HAVE SENIORS CAN BE SURVEYS.
SO IT PROBABLY VARIES, LIKE I SAID, THIS ONE'S ALREADY GOT 25 TO 40, BUT I MEAN, EVERY CAT AT 25 OR SO.
LIKE SCOTT'S GOT THE TWO ROOMS. SO IF, IF WE BUILT THE SCOTT AREA THERE, WE GOT THE TWO ROOMS THERE, UM, BLUFF AND SENT ALL OF COURSE.
UM, WE GOT PLENTY OF ROOM THERE.
UM, WITH THAT WHOLE CENTER, UM, BOOKER T HAS THE TWO ROOMS, UM, THAT WE CAN DO THERE, OR OIL HAS THREE OR FOUR OR FIVE RINGS THERE.
SO EACH OF THEM HAS EXPANDABILITY, UM, AT THE SITE, UH, PROGRAM.
WHAT DID YOU SEE, WHAT AREAS THAT IS CONTRACTED THROUGH LUG HAWK? AND, UM, THEY, WE HAVE TO GO WITH WHO THEY ACTUALLY, UM, CONTRACT
[00:25:01]
WITH.UM, THAT CONTRACT IS IN PLACE FOR ONE MORE YEAR, THAT COMPANY EITHER COMES OUT OF WALTER OR ON FOR ONE, WAS IT WALTERBORO ALL OVER ORANGE CART EVERY DAY TO BRING THE MEALS.
UM, AND SO HOPEFULLY WOULD LOVE HOUSE.
UM, THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY IN THE PROCESS OF THEY'RE GOING THROUGH ZONING RIGHT NOW TO BUILD A COMMERCIAL SAUCE KITCHEN THAT CAN FEED UP TO 2000 A DAY.
UM, BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO SURFACE MULTIPLE AGENCIES SUCH AS THIS, WITH THE MEALS, UM, BECAUSE THERE WAS NOWHERE, EVEN THE CHARLESTON AREA DOESN'T HAVE A PLACE THAT CAN SERVE US LIKE THIS.
SO THE CLOSEST ONE IS ORANGEBURG.
THEY'RE HOPING TO CAPITALIZE ON THAT AND BE ABLE TO SERVE AS THE SAVANNAH HILTON HEAD BLOCKED IN BUFORD CHARLESTON AREA.
WE HAVE TO GO WITH WHO THEY, THEY ASSIGN US TO SUMMER CAMP NOW THAT WE'RE DONE WITH ST YEAR.
SO, UM, COUNTY ADMINISTRATION, UM, CAME AND TASKED US WITH PROVIDING SUMMER CAMP FOR THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES, CHILDREN, AND THEIR GRANDCHILDREN.
SO, UM, WE, UM, PUT THE WORD OUT, DID A SURVEY ON HIM.
UM, HE CAME BACK VERY POSITIVE.
WE ENDED UP WITH 60 KIDS AT LYNN BROWN AND 50 KIDS AT BLUFFTON CENTER.
SO WE'RE AT 110 WITH JUST COUNTY EMPLOYEE GETTING GRANDKIDS.
SO, UM, WE'RE GOING TO START THAT THIS YEAR IN HOPES THAT NEXT YEAR WE CAN EXPAND AND OFFER SUMMER CAMP BACK IN THE LOCATIONS THAT WE HAVE DONE BEFORE.
UM, BUT, UM, WE ALREADY GOT MOST OF THE STAFF IN PLACE FOR THAT.
WE'RE LACKING A COUPLE IN BLUFFTON.
PEOPLE JUST DON'T WANT TO DRIVE A UP.
SO, UM, WE'RE STRUGGLING A LITTLE BIT IN THAT AREA, BUT, UM, WE WILL BE UP AND RUNNING, UM, NOT NEXT WEEK, BUT THE FALL LYNN BROWN AND BLOCKED CENTER.
WELL, IT WASN'T CENTER'S LOCATION FOR THE SENIOR PROGRAM AND MASTER PLAN.
SO, UM, THE SURVEY WILL GO OUT NEXT WEEK.
UM, WE WERE WAITING ON A COVER LETTER THAT I RECEIVED TODAY.
UM, SO, UM, THE PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO GO ON AND DO THE SURVEY, UM, AND THEY WILL BE SENDING OUT THE SURVEYS BY MAIL TO THE RANDOM, HOWEVER THEY CHOOSE THAT, UM, POPULATION WHO GET THOSE BACK.
SO WE'RE STILL ON, UM, TASKS WITH THAT.
AND HOPEFULLY, UM, WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE THEM COME BACK AND REPORT, UH, NOVEMBER IN THE FACE.
SO HAS EVERYBODY KNOWS ISIS ARE GOING UP, SO NO, EVEN UP TO THE BOARD, BUT I GOT YOUR SCORES THAT WE CURRENTLY AND SUGGEST THESE, UM, SOCCER, YOU KNOW, OUR UNIFORMS WENT UP, UM, ACTUALLY FROM 13 TO 17, SOMETHING THIS YEAR, ALMOST 18, UM, BASEBALL, I LEFT THE SAME.
UM, THE THOUGHT WITH THE BASEBALL IS TO DO A WAY, AND I THINK ALAN CAN CHIME IN WITH BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL.
THAT HAS JUST BEEN A NIGHTMARE.
IT WAS A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE THIS YEAR.
UM, SOAR WAS UNABLE TO GET THEM.
WE FINALLY REACHED OUT TO ANOTHER VENDOR WHO HAD TO ORDER THEM FROM OUR DIFFERENT VENDORS TO GET THEM IN.
UM, A LOT OF TIMES THEY DON'T FIT IN TOO SMALL OR TOO BIG.
YOU DON'T KNOW WITH THE VENDOR WHO YOU'RE GETTING THEM FROM, HOW THEY'RE GONNA FIT, IF THEY'RE GONNA FIT.
UM, SOFTBALL PANTS ARE SURPRISINGLY A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE BASEBALL PANTS FOR WHATEVER REASON, BECAUSE IT'S NOT EVEN AS MUCH MATERIAL BECAUSE THEY'RE SHORTER.
UM, SO, UM, WHAT WE LIKE TO DO IS BE ABLE TO IN SITTING DOWN YESTERDAY WITH ONE OF THE DISTRIBUTORS, UM, THEY WANT TO BE BECAUSE WE COULDN'T EVEN GET HATS THIS YEAR, THE KIDS, WE DIDN'T GET PADS, UM, THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO GET 'EM.
SO, SO WHEN IT ALL, WHEN IT ALL COMES THROUGH AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN IS WORKING AGAIN, EVEN THEN YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS JUST DOESN'T THAT PROVIDE PANTS CAUSE THEY'RE INDIVIDUALS
[00:30:01]
ANDYOU KNOW, THE, THE BASEBALL, BASEBALL, THE SOCCER, THE BASKETBALL THEY'RE ELASTIC, THEY'RE ADJUSTABLE.
YOU CAN TIGHTEN THE STRING, THE BASEBALL DESK AND THE SOFTBALL OR NOT.
UM, SO, YOU KNOW, WITH THE HATS, WHAT SITTING DOWN WITH HIM, UM, YESTERDAY, YOU KNOW, HE'S BASICALLY SAID TO ME, UM, I NEED TO KNOW HOW MANY BASEBALLS YOU'RE GOING TO NEED NEXT YEAR.
HE WAS TOLD BY WILSON JUST LAST WEEK, THAT NEXT YEAR BASEBALL'S MAY NOT EVEN BE AVAILABLE IF WE DON'T ORDER THEM NOW.
SO WE'RE HAVING TO PRE-ORDER FOR SOME OF THESE THINGS.
AND, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE HATS GO, THEY'RE STILL WORRIED ABOUT THE HAT ISSUE.
SO, YOU KNOW, HE WANTS ME TO LOOK AT THE SECOND THAT WE GET, HOW MANY, YOU KNOW, WHAT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE EIGHT TEAMS IN THE MINERS, GO AHEAD AND ORDER EIGHT COLORS OF HATS AND GO TO THE COACHES AND SAY, HERE'S YOUR COLORS TO CHOOSE FROM SO THAT HE CAN GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE HATS.
THE BELT IS THE SOCKS, AND THEN ALL WE'RE LEFT WITH IS JERVIS.
UM, SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, TRYING RIGHT NOW, I MEAN, WE WORRIED TO DEATH WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GET AND WHAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET, YOU KNOW, AND SOME PEOPLE UNDERSTAND, AND UNFORTUNATELY, SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S THE SOLUTION FOR TELL THEM TO GET THEIR OWN, TELL EACH PARENT AS THEY SIGN UP, THEY'LL NEED JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE TALK FOR SOCCER, YOU KNOW, WE LIVE TOGETHER, HAVE A PAIR OF CLEATS AND CHIN GUARDS.
SO, YOU KNOW, WITH BASEBALL AND YOU JUST NEED, YOU KNOW, WE CAN PUT IT IN THERE, WHITE PANTS OR GRAY PANTS, BUT, YOU KNOW, UM, YOU'RE BE NEEDING TO GET YOUR CHILD WITH THEIR PANTS OR SOFTBALL PANTS OR WHATEVER.
AND THAT'S WHY I DID NOT, UM, PRICE WENT UP ON BASEBALL AS WELL, BUT RIGHT.
BUT SHE CAN, YOU CAN PROBABLY, WE CAN A RELATIONSHIP WITH, UH, DEBITS, RIGHT.
SO, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN TELL EVERYBODY WE'VE GOT A DAY THERE AND THAT'S WHERE THEY SHOULD GO WITH THE PANTS.
I DON'T THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING TO QUIT PLAYING BASEBALL BECAUSE YOU DON'T GIVE THEM PANTS.
AND IT TAKES YOU THE SAME WAY.
WELL, FORTUNATELY LIKE THIS YEAR AND A LOT OF THEM, AND I KNOW BECAUSE OF DAWSON LAND, BASED OFF MY SCRAWNY CHILD WORE THE SAME PANTS FOR THREE YEARS.
UM, BUT A LOT OF THEM, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T, WE WEREN'T ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR THE FIRST TWO, THREE WEEKS.
I THINK IT WAS AT THE SEASON THIS YEAR.
SO MOST OF THEM ALREADY HAD PANTS.
BY THE TIME WE GOT THE PANTS IN, MAYBE YOU PUT SOMETHING OUT THERE THAT SAYS WE DIDN'T RAISE THE COST OF THIS AREA, JUST BECAUSE OF THIS TO OFFSET AGAIN.
I THINK IT HELPS UNDERSTAND IT.
THEY CAN ALWAYS PLAY
WE GOT ALISON AND WE'LL SEND, AND THIS AND THAT THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW, AND THEY ALL FIT.
THE ONLY WAY TO REALLY DO IT IS WHEN WE DO THE EMAILS, WHEN THEY COME THROUGH AND THEY PICK OUT BETWEEN WHAT THEY WANT, BUT YOU GOT TO HAVE ENOUGH STOCK AND EVERYTHING THAT DAY, AND THEY GOT TO SHUT UP.
WELL, YOU'VE GIVEN THIS SOME THOUGHT AND UM, IF THINGS RETURN TO NORMALCY AND WE HAVE A TON OF BACK, WHICHEVER YOU THROW IN MORE HAM, YOU CAN ALWAYS ADJUST IT FOR.
I MEAN, LIKE I SAID, I LEFT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER STUFF, BLACK FOOTBALL WE ADDED TOWARDS, UM, YOU WERE GETTING THE POINT THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET SOME UNIFORMS. UM, I DID LOOK AT THE POMPOMS AND STUFF AND THEY HAVE GONE UP LACROSSE.
NOW THEY'RE REQUIRING THIS, THE CHEST PROTECTOR.
THEY RECERTIFIED ONE THAT IS MEANT, WHAT DID WE DO AT LACROSSE WITH HELMETS AND STUFF IN YOU? RIGHT.
WE WE'VE KINDA HEARD THE MADE SURE WE GET THAT ON THE STACK IS, UH, WE'VE JUST NEVER, WE WERE TALKING A LOT ABOUT GETTING A DEPOSIT.
WE KIND OF DECIDE AGAINST THAT, BUT NO, WE WE'VE BEEN GOOD WITH IT'S RETURNED.
I THINK THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS I THINK GETTING THEM OUT AND THEN COVID HIT
SO JUST TO CLARIFY, HERE IS ALL THE FEES GO INTO BASICALLY A REVENUE BUDDY.
[00:35:01]
OUT LAST FOR, WE DO.UM, WE, WE, WE BREAK THEM DOWN LAST HOSPITAL, BUT, UM, I JUST WONDERED, LIKE FOR ME, I HAVE TWO MORE YEARS OF PAYING FOR KIDS.
SO, UM, BUT TO ME IT WOULD MAKE SENSE, LIKE MAYBE EASIER FOR YOU GUYS MAKE IT EASIER FOR PARENTS.
IF IT WAS ALL JUST THE SAME $65, THAT'S JUST THE WAY I WEAVE THINGS TO KEEP IT SIMPLE FOR EVERY SPORT.
IT WASN'T PROVIDED TO YOU, JULIAN PROVIDING ANIMAL, THEY TURN IT INTO, THEY DON'T EVEN GET ANYTHING.
THAT'S WHY THEIR FEEDS SO MUCH LOWER, YOU KNOW, THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO REPLENISH EVERY WELL EVERY OTHER YEAR, BUT BASICALLY WE'RE DOING IT.
THERE'S SOME NUMBERS THAT ARE MORE THAN OTHERS.
SO BASICALLY EVERY YEAR HAS TO COST.
WELL, IT'S WHAT YOU CAN EVEN BE.
WELL, LIKE THIS YEAR, WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE THE SIX, SEVEN YEAR OLD CATCHER'S EQUIPMENT AND I MEAN, MATT CHECKED EVERYWHERE.
I CHECKED EVERYWHERE AND I FINALLY HAD A PLACE THAT SAID, YOU COULD ORDER IT NOW ORDERED IT.
AND IT SAID, EXPECTED DELIVERY NOVEMBER.
SO WE COULDN'T EVEN BEGIN, YOU KNOW, WE JUST HAD TO GO WITH WHAT WE WENT WITH
WELL, I THINK, YOU KNOW, UH, I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, ERIC, BUT I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE TO HAVE TO LOOK AT THE FEES AND SEE THAT THEY'RE IN A REASONABLE BAND.
AND AS YOU SAY, SOME SPORTS HAVE MORE ON BUYERS, SOME SPORTS, YOU KNOW, MORE OFFICIALS, SOME DON'T.
I MEAN, I THINK THAT'S AS FUN AND I FORGOT BASKETBALL.
RIGHT? WELL, IN BASKETBALL REALLY, I MEAN, IT'S HIS OFFICIALS AND IT'S A UNIFORM.
WELL, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, THAT, UM, WE PUT IN THE BUDGET THIS YEAR, UM, YOU KNOW, MATT CAME TO ME WHEN WE WERE DOING THE BUDGET AND HE SAID, WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING TO GET THE OFFICIALS MORE MONEY.
SO WE DID PUT THAT IN AS AN INCREASE.
SO REALLY THIS IS A VERY MINOR INCREASE COMPARED TO THE FACT THAT THE OFFICIALS HAVE GONE UP, THE UNIFORMS HAD GONE UP.
I DIDN'T WANT TO JUST COME IN HERE AND SAY, BUT YOU KNOW, I LITERALLY THOUGHT ABOUT $10 PER SCORE JUST BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, BUT DO YOU MEAN FOR THE BASKETBALL IN THERE? I REALLY DID TAKE CHEERLEADING.
I MEAN, I SEE HER ON THERE PROBABLY ISN'T A RECREATION DEPARTMENT.
YOU WILL FIND THAT HAS IT ALL SCORES, I THINK.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IT WAS 65 AND FOOTBALL THEY'RE IT'S ALWAYS BEEN, I MEAN, WE STILL GONNA REGISTER HIM ALL THE SAME STUFF THAT THE BOARD DID TO ME 15 YEARS AGO IN THE FEED WAS 47 50.
IT WAS THE MOST, I'M ALL ABOUT STREAMLINING COSTS AND JUSTIFY, WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? YOU'RE PLAYING BASEBALL FOR $65, BUT YOU KNOW, ERRANDS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE PROVIDING ALL THE KIDS ARE GETTING IT WRONG.
ALL THE KIDS ARE GETTING THEIR OWN.
ALL OTHER KIDS ARE GETTING THE WRONG GLOVE.
SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU SHOW UP PLAY SOCCER, YOU'RE JUST SHOWING UP TO PLAY.
YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT YOUR STUFF.
WELL, YOU'VE GOT THE, THE SOCKS AND SHORTS, WHEREAS BASEBALL, YOU'VE GOT THE HAT WITH THE INBOARD RUNNING ON IT.
YOU GOT THE JERSEY SOPS, BUT SOME PLACES IT'S NOT, I MEAN, SURPRISINGLY, WE'RE PROBABLY
[00:40:01]
HIGHER THAN MOST PLACES.WHAT'D YOU PAY FOR YOUR CHILD AND FLORENCE BASEBALL, BUT THEY'LL BE EVEN PANTS, BUT THEY GIVE YOU A NICE, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR
HE HASN'T PUT IT IN A FORMAL MOTION, BUT WOULD THERE BE SUPPORT FOR THAT? THE PROBLEM IS NOTHING IS LIKE, I SEE THAT ONE OF THE CROSS, ONE OF THE SEVENTIES YOU'VE KNOCKED THAT DOWN AT 65.
THEY DON'T HAVE, IT'S NOT LIKE THEY, WE HAVE 70 LACROSSE PLAYERS VERSUS HUNDREDS OF FLAG FOOTBALL PLAYERS.
SO YOU'RE DRIVING ONE OF THE 65 FLY FOOTBALL
AND I GET THIS, THIS AND THIS FOR BASEBALL, YOU KNOW, JUST, I JUST KNOW HOW THEY ARE.
I THINK THOSE ARE THE NATURE OF EACH.
OR LIKE WHEN I RAN INTO TROUBLE BASEBALL TEAM, I LOOK AT THE SCORE, OKAY, WHAT WERE WE GOING TO DO? AND COME UP WITH WHAT IT WAS GOING TO COST DIFFERS BETWEEN DIFFERENT SCORES.
YOU ARE THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THE PARKS AND REC DEPARTMENT.
THIS IS THE WAY THAT YOU FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE DONE.
THAT, AH, IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME EITHER.
RIGHT? LIKE I SAID, I MEAN, TRUTHFULLY, I WANTED TO GO $10, HER PAIN JUST BECAUSE OF THE OFFICIALS AND THE JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT YES AND NO.
SOME YES AND NO TO SOME, I THINK THEY'RE PAID
WELL, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO SET THESE FEES THAT ARE GOING TO BE FOR THE NEXT YEAR.
THE FEES WOULD BE HIGHER THAN THAT.
YOU'VE GOT A MERIT AND IT SHOULD BE HIGHER.
I MEAN, $65 IS, I MEAN, EVERYBODY, EVERY DAY IS SEEING THINGS THAT ARE MORE EXPENSIVE.
OUR OSS DELIVERY SERVICES ARE MARKED AS, SO
I'M DOING A NEGATIVE EMOTION THAT ALL SPORTS, INCLUDING BASKETBALL, EXCEPT FOR JULIE, SHE GOES TO A FEW $70 USEFUL USE FORCE FOR 70 HOURS.
AND SURELY WE'RE NOT AFTER THE YEAR WITH THE PARENTS ARE COMPLAINING HOW MUCH IT FELL OUT.
WELL, I THINK YOU HAVE AN OVERALL INFLATION
[00:45:03]
ONLY $30 AN HOUR.SO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
IS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION YOU HAVE A SECOND ALL IN FAVOR.
JUST GIVE THEM ANOTHER RUNDOWN OF OUR SECOND SEASON.
I GUESS YOU COULD SAVE SPRING FORCES WHEN YOU ARE YOUR LAST, OUR LAST MEETING.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ALL OF OUR SEASONS REGISTRATION WISE COMPLETED YET WITH, WITH THE PIXIE BOYS BASEBALL NUMBER FOR REALLY GOOD THIS YEAR, WE NORMALLY DO FOR BLUFFTON AND EVEN HILTON HEAD.
I'LL COMBINE THE, HAVE THE SAME SCHEDULE.
WE NORMALLY HAVE, YOU KNOW, ONE OR TWO TEAMS AND IN EACH AREA, UH, YOU KNOW, UP UNTIL COVID, IT WAS A LITTLE LOWER, BUT LUCKILY THIS YEAR WE ENDED UP HAVING TWO TEAMS. SO IF WE WANT KIDS TO YOU FOR THREE TEAMS, VERY FOURFOLD KIDS AND LOVELY, AND THEN DON'T HAVE TWO TEAMS. WE HAVE SEVEN TOTAL TEAMS AND LEAGUE THIS YEAR, WHICH IS REALLY GOOD.
I DON'T THINK WE'VE HAD MORE THAN RALPH FIVE.
THE LAST, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THIS IS HOW IT, BIG NEWS CAME AROUND.
WE MIGHT HAVE SIX OR SEVEN, EIGHT, BUT THE NUMBERS, LUCKILY DISCARDED HAD GONE BACK UP, ESPECIALLY IT'S ALWAYS GOOD.
THOSE ARE 13 AND 14, SOME 15 YEAR OLD KIDS SEEING AS Y'ALL KNOW, THAT'S MY KIDS USUALLY START GETTING IN TROUBLE, NOT PLAYING SPORTS IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
AND, UH, ONE OF YOU FROM ONE OF THE BLOGS AND THEN PUBLIC TENNIS HOSTED NUMBERS HAVE KIND OF FALLEN OFF THAT WAY TO THIS WORLD LATELY, FOR WHATEVER REASON, UM, ZEST REALLY OUR OWN WAY.
THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WE PROVIDE NECESSARILY IN A PUBLIC SENTENCE.
THEY JUST, UH, PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, SERVICES THAT WE CAN ADD, UM, A SPORT PROGRAM THAT KIDS.
SO WE HAD FOUR BUFORD AND 16 TOTAL KIDS AND LOVE.
AND FOR TENNIS CLINICS, ADULT SOFTBALL NUMBERS WENT UP AS THEY HAVE EVERY SEASON.
IT SEEMS LIKE YOUR LAST FIVE YEARS AT 694 PHOTO, UH, TOTAL ASSISTANCE, UH, SENIOR SOFTBALL WAY, YOU KNOW, AS YOU'RE ALL WELL AWARE OF THAT, WE JUST STARTED, UH, THEY'RE ALREADY HAVE EIGHT TEAMS. THAT'S HOW I MADE.
THAT'S GOING TO GO UP OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER LEAGUES ARE EITHER GOING UP OR STAYING CONSISTENT ON THEIR NUMBERS.
SO IS AN ADULT SOFTBALL PROGRAM, YOU KNOW, LOVE IS STAYING STRONG AND THEN ADULT CO-ED VOLLEYBALL.
I THINK WE'VE HAD ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO 60 PARTICIPANTS OVER THE LAST, YOU KNOW, HOWEVER LONG A SEASON ASSOCIATED, UH, THOSE NUMBERS SAY WE HAVE 57, UH, SUMMER SPORTS, UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE STILL IN, IN, UH, LATE REGISTRATION FOR SUMMER BASKETBALL.
SO THESE AREN'T EXACTLY ACCURATE.
UH, I THINK TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING A FEW MORE KIDS THAT HAVE SIGNED UP, BUT OF YOU SUMMER BASKETBALL FOR BUFORD, WE HAVE THINK WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY MORE THAN 80 KIDS, 80, 90 KIDS.
LAST, SINCE WE STARTED IN 2018, WE HAVE 152, WHICH IS PROBABLY UP TO ABOUT 165.
NOW OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, IT WAS REALLY GOOD.
UH, YOU KNOW, KIDS ARE, AS YOU CAN SEE SINCE COVID, I THINK EVERYBODY'S REALLY WANTING TO GET THEIR KIDS SIGNED UP AND GET IT OUT THERE AND AGGRAVATE AND SOCIALIZE WITH OTHER KIDS.
I WAS GOOD A NUMBERS, ESPECIALLY FOR GOING UP A DOLE BASEBALL THAT THAT'S EVEN MORE NOW THAN 54 TOTAL.
WE NORMALLY HAVE AROUND 44 AND WE HAVE ABOUT FOUR TEAMS. I THINK WE HAVE 57 NOW SIGNED UP AND WE'RE LOOKING TO HAVE THE 16TH AND ADULT PAY IT'S CALLED REVIEW FOR, SO THAT'S, THAT'S GOING UP.
AND I DON'T SEE THAT SLOWING DOWN ANYTIME SOON, EITHER.
UH, DON'T PERSONALLY CELL PHONE BEAVER, UH, REGISTRATION IS, UH, NEXT TUESDAY, I GUESS.
SO WE'LL SEE HOW IT WOULD SEE OUR REGISTRATION ENDS UP.
IT'S PRETTY, PRETTY SLOW RIGHT OFF.
AND WE ONLY HAVE ONE TEAM SIGNED ON.
UM, SO WE'LL SEE HOW TEAM, UH, THE REGISTRATIONS, UH, BLOCKED IN SOME BASKETBALL HAS EXPLODED AS WELL.
I THINK WE HAVE AROUND TWO 50 LAST YEAR, 343, SIGNED UP AS A PICKUP DATE OF THESE TUESDAY AROUND 365 IS ABOUT NOW.
UH, SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF KIDS PLAYING BASKETBALL THIS SUMMER, WHICH IS GOOD.
AND, UM, AS YOU ARE AWARE, WE ADDED A DOPE, UH, GO IN A DODGE BALL AND GO AND GO AND KICK BALLS GOING AROUND THE LAST COUPLE OF SEASONS.
IT WAS REGISTRATION BEGINS JUNE.
FIRST THAT UP AGAIN, NEXT WEEK Z, WE'RE GOING TO DO DODGE BALL OVER BLOCKS AND CENTERS, AND I'LL KEEP PLAYS AT THE SAME SITE.
[00:50:01]
PAUL SPORTS REGISTRATION IT'LL BEGIN IN JUNE 1ST.AND I GUESS THE FEES WILL BE UPDATED BY THEM, BUT WE'LL HAVE, UH, WE'LL START REGISTRATION ON THAT DAY.
UH, TERMINALS IS UNITED ON NOTICE ABOUT ALL-STAR SEASON, UH, TOURNAMENTS, WE'RE HOSTING, WE'RE HOSTING THE DUSI BASE WHILE THOSE ZONE DISTRICT PERMIT AT BURTON WELLS.
AND THAT'LL BE THE 11 AND 12 YEAR OLD ALL STAR TEAMS. WE'RE GOING TO THAT'S JUNE 10TH THROUGH THE 13TH, A FRIDAY TO MONDAY THE 13TH IS IF GAME.
SO I THINK THAT'LL JUST COME OUT OF THAT WEEKEND, WATCHING BASEBALL I'LL FEEL FREE TO BLUFFTON THE KIDS ON THE BLOCK AND NOSE OF A TEAM WITH THE SAME ONES THAT WON MONITORS LAST YEAR FOR STATE PERMANENT.
SO THERE SHOULD BE SOME PRETTY GOOD LUCK.
AND THEN, UH, AND HILTON HAD ALWAYS HAD TWO TEAMS OR, UH, UM, AND ONCE AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CONTRACTS WE LISTED THIS.
I THINK I WAS SIX TIMES, I GUESS, SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, I'VE BEEN A FIVE YEARS, UM, ISSUE JUNIOR BOYS AND BOYS STATE TOURNAMENT.
WE HOSTED LAST YEAR, GIRL, WELL, WE'RE GOING TO HOST IT AND OFFICER FRAZIER THIS YEAR AND, UH, THE DATE IS ACTUALLY JULY 9TH TO THE 15TH.
THAT'S AT HOME, I'LL PARK, NIKE, THE FOUR PAINT.
UH, WE'LL BE OUT TO OSCAR FRASER GAMES.
I WANTS TO ANNOUNCE, KEEP SCORE.
I'M SURE BRUCE'S HELD OUT PLENTY OF HIS YEARS.
SO, SO ANYWAY, IF Y'ALL WANT TO COME OUT, UM, AND, AND HELP OUT VOLUNTEERING, YOU KNOW, KEEPING LOOK OR WHATNOT OR ANNOUNCING, AND HE JUST LET US KNOW TO REALLY AFFORD TO THAT S ALWAYS FUN, DETERMINED EVERY YEAR.
AND, UM, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONCERNS WHEN YOU, YOU SAID ASPHALT NUMBERS PACK AND WHEN DID THEY PLAY IN THE EVENINGS FOR, I MEAN, SO HOW'S THE FACILITY USER IN A S THE SUMMER IS PATENT HERE DURING THE DAY.
CAUSE ALL THE KIDS ARE OUT OF SCHOOL.
SO, YOU KNOW, MOST OF YOU YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF 13 AND UP, ESPECIALLY HERE, NOT SO MUCH THE BURTON WELLS JUST CAUSE A LOCATION, THE CENTER, BUT HERE WITH THE FARM BEING RIGHT THERE, RIGHT? ALL WHATNOT.
WE'LL HAVE A TON OF KIDS IN HERE THAT THE SUMMER BASKETBALL SET UP JUST LIKE A WINTER LEAGUE.
WE DON'T, WE DON'T TRY TO HAVE ANYTHING ON SATURDAYS.
JUST PAUSE THEM DURING THE SUMMER AND HAVE THEM, YOU KNOW, AS, YOU KNOW, VACATIONS AND WHATNOT.
BUT, UH, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND ISSUE IN BLUFFTON, WE ALWAYS HAVE ISSUES WITH SCHEDULING URBAN WELLS AND IT WENT BROWN JUST CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH GYM SPACE THIS YEAR.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH IT.
UM, DARRYL, BEFORE THIS MEETING, WE WERE IN A MEETING AND I THINK TO GET TUESDAY, YOU HAD EVERY TEAM TO PRICES DURING A WEEK.
WE USUALLY TRY TO LEAVE A GYM OPEN FOR OPEN PLAY FOR THE ADULTS TO PLAY AT NIGHT.
I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT IN THE SUMMER, UNFORTUNATELY.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO, YOU KNOW, IT'S GOING TO ADD REVIEW BASKETBALL PRACTICES, BUT I GUESS IT'S A GOOD AND BAD PROBLEM TO HAVE.
UH
NO, IT IS DEFINITELY TIGHT AS YOU WILL KNOW, IT WAS TIED BACK.
WELL, I GUESS THE NUMBERS ABOUT TO WHERE WHENEVER YOU AROUND.
UM, SO IT'S, IT'S, I THINK THERE'S, THERE HAS BEEN TALK IT'S ABOVE MY PAY GRADE CHUCKER OR SHANNON MIGHT BE ABLE TO ELABORATE MORE.
THEY WANT TO OWN A HOSPITAL, UH, YOU KNOW, AREAS THAT THE COUNTY'S LOOKED AT TOO FOR LAND.
BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S DEFINITELY ON THE, ON THE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE MASTER PLAN, YOU KNOW, THIS I'M SURE THAT AMONG OTHER THINGS ARE GOING TO GET THE TOP OF THE LIST, ESPECIALLY IN BLUFFTON GOES ALONG.
THE NUMBERS ARE MOVING YOU OVER AND CONTINUE TO RIDE.
UM, THIS IS OUR INFORMATION FOR OUR DIARY, YOUR POOL, OUR HOURS UNTIL OPENS BACK UP OUR MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY EIGHT, 12, AND ONE DECIDE SATURDAYS.
HE NEVER INFLATABLES FROM 10 30 TO FOUR 30, OUR VOCA CLASS, TUESDAYS AND THURSDAY, SIX 15 TO 6 45.

HOW ARE THE GLASSES? ARE THEY BEING ATTENDED? NOT LATELY, NO PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN THEM.
WE TALK ABOUT THEM AND THEN THEY JUST DON'T SHOW UP.

I'M DENNIS ADAMS, AND THIS IS A BUFORD COUNTY MOMENT.FORREST GUMP, THE PRINCE OF TIDES, THE SANTINI.
THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE BIG HOLLYWOOD MOVIES FILMED IN BUFORD COUNTY DURING THE 1980S AND 1990S.
BUT THE EARLIEST BIG SCREEN PRODUCTION, A SHOT HERE DATES BACK NEARLY A CENTURY LATE IN NOVEMBER, 1917 AMERICAN FEATURE FILMS OF GREENVILLE.
SOUTH CAROLINA SENT A COMPANY OF ACTORS ON LOCATION TO ST.
HELENA ISLAND AND AMONG THE ANTEBELLUM MANSIONS THE BUFORD AND THE WORDS THAT THAT BUFORD GAZETTE, THE RISE AND FALL OF THE CONFEDERACY IS ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE AND STUPENDOUS MOTION, PICTURE SCENARIOS EVER ATTEMPTED BY ANY DRAMATIST.
IT CERTAINLY WAS A COSTUME DRAMA WITH OVER 640 PIECES OF PERIOD CLOTHING SHIPPED IN FOR THE ACTORS, JORDAN AND THE PRODUCTION JUST BEFORE FILMING WAS ONE WILLIAM CUNNINGHAM OF PEERLESS FILM COMPANY IN LOS ANGELES.
HE LENT A HOLLYWOOD TOUCH TO THE PRODUCTION.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE FILM HAS DISAPPEARED AND IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE STUDIO EXAGGERATED HIS CLAIMS OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE MOVING PICTURES.
THAT'S THE BIRTH OF A NATION I'M DENNIS DATA.
AND THIS HAS BEEN YOUR BUFORD COUNTY MOMENT.
TO SEE MORE, BE FOR COUNTY MOMENTS, GO TO THE BUFORD COUNTY LIBRARY HOMEPAGE AND CLICK ON THE LOCAL HISTORY TAB.
I'M ERIC MCCLELLAN COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER WITH THE BEAVER COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE 9 1 1 DISPATCH CENTER.

DID YOU KNOW THAT STARS HAVE LIFE CYCLES? THEY'RE BORN FORMED FROM FLOATING CLOUDS OF GAS AND DUST IN SPACE.
THEY LIVE SHINING BRIGHTLY FROM THE HEAT AND LIGHT THEY PRODUCE WITHIN.
AND EVENTUALLY AFTER A LONG TIME, THEY GET OLD AND THEY DIE.
SOME OF THEM ENDING THEIR LIVES IN A SPECTACULAR EXPLOSION.
IT'S MUCH LIKE THE WAY A BUTTERFLY GOES THROUGH ITS LIFECYCLE.
THE CATERPILLAR HATCHES FROM AN EGG, THE CATERPILLAR GROWS AND FORMS A CHRYSALIS, AND THEN IT TRANSFORMS INTO AN ADULT BUTTERFLY.
THESE STUDENTS ARE GOING TO REPRESENT THE CLUMPS OF GAS AND DUST.
THAT FORM STARS ALL STARS ARE BORN IN A STAR FORMING NEBULA, A GIANT CLOUD OF GAS AND DUSTIN SPACE.
THE FORCE OF GRAVITY DRAWS THE CLUMPS OF GAS TOGETHER.
THE GASES BEGIN TO HEAT UP AND FUSION BEGINS AS THE HYDROGEN ATOMS SPLASHED TOGETHER.
THEY COMBINE TO FORM HELIUM AND RELEASE A HUGE AMOUNT OF LIGHT AND HEAT.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF THE STAR THAT HAS FORMED.
WE'LL START WITH A SMALLER STAR.
ONE, THE SIZE OF OUR SUN STARS.
LIKE OUR SUN HAVE LIVES THAT MEASURE IN BILLIONS OF YEARS IN A MAIN SEQUENCE STAR, THE TIME PERIOD WHERE A STAR SPENDS MOST OF ITS LIFE, THE FORCES OF GRAVITY AND FUSION BALANCE ONE ANOTHER.
AND THE STAR IS IN A STEADY STATE AFTER MOST OF THE FUEL AND THE CORE OF THE STARS.
YOU STOP THE FORCES IN THE CORE OVERPOWER GRAVITY AND THE OUTER LAYERS OF THE STAR EXPAND.
IF OUR SUN IS THE SIZE OF A GRAIN
[01:10:01]
OF SAND, A GIANT STAR IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF AN ORANGE.ONCE THE REST OF THE FUEL IN THE CORE IS USED UP, THE STAR WILL SUDDENLY COLLAPSE IN ON ITSELF AND THE OUTER LAYERS OF GAS DRIFT AWAY INTO SPACE.
THE MATERIAL THAT REMAINS AT THE CORE IS CALLED A WHITE WOLF.
IF A STAR HAS A LOT MORE MASS THOUGH, AND IS MUCH LARGER THAN OUR SUN SAY 10 TIMES LARGER ITS LIFE ENDS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.
A HIGH MASS STAR FORMS IN THE SAME WAY THAT A SMALLER STAR DOES CLUMPS OF GAS ARE DRAWN TOGETHER BY THE FORCES OF GRAVITY AND FORM A STAR.
HOWEVER, THEY HAVE MUCH SHORTER LIVES AND MAY ONLY LIVE FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS WHEN A MASSIVE STAR REACHES THE LATER PART OF ITS LIFE AND BEGINS FUSING ELEMENTS, OTHER THAN HYDROGEN, IT EXPANDS TO A HUGE SIZE AND BECOMES A SUPER GIANT.
IF A GIANT STAR IS THE SIZE OF AN ORANGE, A SUPER GIANT IS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A BEACH BALL.
ONCE A SUPER GIANT HAS RUN OUT OF FUEL IN ITS CORE, ITS LIFE ENDS IN A MASSIVE EXPLOSION.
THE STAR COLLAPSES IN ON ITSELF AND THE OUTER LAYERS OF THE STAR EXPLODE OUTWARDS INTO SPACE.
ALL THAT OF THE STAR WILL EITHER BE A NEUTRON STAR, A VERY TINY, VERY DENSE CHUNK OF MATERIAL THAT WOULD WEIGHT THOUSANDS OF POUNDS IN A SINGLE TEASPOON OR A BLACK HOLE, DEPENDING ON JUST HOW BIG THE MASSIVE STAR WAS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WE CAN OBSERVE STARS IN THE VARIOUS STAGES OF THEIR LIFE CYCLE.
IN THE NIGHT SKY, THE ORION NEBULA FOUND IN THE CONSTELLATION OF ORION NEAR HIS BELT IS A REGION WHERE STARS ARE BEING FORMED.
OUR SUN IS A LOW MASS MAIN SEQUENCE STAR.
REMEMBER WHEN LOW-MASS STARS GET OLD, THEY FORM GIANT STARS.
I'LL DEBORAH ON A STAR MARKING THE EYE OF TAURUS.
THE BULL IS A GIANT STAR, LARGER STARS FORMED SUPER GIANTS WHEN THEY GET OLD, RACHEL AND BADAL JEWS STARS IN THE CONSTELLATION OF RYAN ARE SUPER GIANTS AND WILL ONE DAY IN THEIR LIVES IN MASSIVE EXPLOSIONS IN THE YEAR 10 54, A SUPERNOVA WAS OBSERVED FROM EARTH NEAR THE TIP OF ONE OF TOURISTS, HIS HORNS.
WHAT IS LEFT OF THAT EXPLOSION? THE CRAB NEBULA IS VISIBLE THROUGH A TELESCOPE.
LUCKILY FOR US HERE ON EARTH, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE MANY STARS WHOSE LIVES WILL END IN SUPERNOVAE, NONE OF THEM ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO EARTH TO AFFECT US.
SO WHY SHOULD IT MATTER TO US? WHAT HAPPENS TO A STAR? MOST OF THE MATTER IN THE UNIVERSE IS HYDROGEN AND HELIUM ONLY BECAUSE OF THE PROCESSES THAT OCCUR WITHIN STARS.
DO WE HAVE THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THE EXISTENCE OF LIFE, CARBON NITROGEN, PHOSPHORUS, GOLD IRON, AND EVEN OXYGEN WOULD NOT EXIST IF IT WERE NOT FOR STARS BEING BORN AND DYING.
SO THE PLANETS US AND ALL OTHER LIFE ON EARTH ARE LITERALLY THE STUFF STARS ARE MADE OF DRIVING BY A SPECIAL BILLBOARD, UH, BUFORD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENT, ONE, THE BUFORD COUNTIES, DEPARTMENT OF SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING POSTER CONTEST AND HAD HER ARTWORK TURNED INTO THIS BILLBOARD.
I DEFINITELY DREW LIKE WHAT THE MEANING OF DEFINITIONS OF A REDUCED RECYCLE AND REUSES.
AND THEN I JUST PUT IT ALL WITH WORDS AND MY BROTHER KIND OF HELPED ME WITH THE WORDS, BUT I CAME UP WITH IT BECAUSE LIKE I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE IT.
SO LIKE THEY CAN SEE EXAMPLES AND HOW THEY CAN DO THE THREE RS TO THE BILLBOARD IS LOCATED ON HIGHWAY ONE 70 AND THE OCA T IN BLUFFTON AREA.
I WAS LIKE, HAPPY THAT MY FAMILY COULD SEE IT TOO.
AND THEY CAN BE PROUD OF ME VIVIAN, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER CLASSMATES ENTERED THE COMPETITION DURING THE SCIENCE CLASS, WE WERE DOING ECOSYSTEMS AND LEARNING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WATER, THE AIR, THE NUTRIENTS, RETURNING BACK TO THE SOIL TO PROVIDE FOOD FOR THE PLANTS AND HOW WE COULD BE BETTER STEWARDS OF THE ENVIRONMENT SO THAT OUR PLANTS WOULD BE HEALTHY.
OUR FOOD WOULD BE HEALTHY, THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND SO WE WERE STUDYING COMPOSTING AND RECYCLING AND IT JUST TIED ALL IN WITH THE PROJECT THAT WE WERE WORKING.
THE COMPETITION WAS HELD IN NOVEMBER AND HONOR OF AMERICA RECYCLES DAY.
AND THE BILLBOARD WAS RECENTLY INSTALLED.
VIVIAN SAYS SHE HOPES WHEN PEOPLE DRIVE BY AND SEE THE ARTWORK, IT REMINDS THEM HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT.
I THINK IT'S A PART OF, FOR PEOPLE TO RECYCLE.
SO THERE'S NOT TRASH LAYING EVERYWHERE ON THE GROUND, ON THE HOTEL WORLD.
SO POLLUTION CAN GO WATER AND ANIMALS EAT FOR WINNING THE COMPETITION.
VIVIAN WAS ALSO GIVEN A PRIZE PACK OF ART SUPPLIES AND A REUSABLE WATER

HI, MY NAME'S VICTORIA HOFFMAN AND I'M THE RECYCLING COORDINATOR FOR BUFORD COUNTY.
[01:20:01]
TODAY.I'M GOING TO PROVIDE A QUICK COMPOSTING ONE-ON-ONE TUTORIAL.
COMPOSTING IS A GREAT WAY TO DIVERT FOOD AND YARD WASTE FROM LANDFILLS.
AND IT'S WONDERFUL FOR YOUR PLANTS.
A FEW REASONS WHY WE LIKE TO PROMOTE COMPOSTING ARE THE EPA REPORTED MORE THAN 63 MILLION TONS OF FOOD WASTE SENT TO LANDFILLS IN 2018 AND SOUTH CAROLINA, ABOUT 30% OF WASTE TAKEN TO LANDFILLS IS YARD WASTE.
COMPOSTING REDUCES MATERIALS SENT TO LANDFILLS AND REDUCES METHANE RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
SO YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHAT IS COMPOSTING.
COMPOSTING IS THE BREAKDOWN OF PLANT MATERIAL THROUGH DECOMPOSITION.
THIS HAPPENS IN NATURE, BUT AT A SLOWER PROCESS, ONCE THE MATERIAL BREAKS DOWN, YOU ARE LEFT WITH A NUTRIENT RICH DIRT LIKE MATERIAL THAT YOU CAN APPLY TO PLANTS YOUR GARDEN OR YOUR LAWN.
COMPOST HELPS RETAIN MOISTURE IN SOIL AND REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS USED IN GARDENS.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN COMPOSTING, BUFORD COUNTY HAS EARTH MACHINE COMPOST BINS FOR SALE FOR A GREAT PRICE OF $50.
YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ON PURCHASING ONE ON OUR WEBSITE.
THE BINS ARE ALMOST AT A 50% DISCOUNT OF THE NORMAL PRICE.
IT IS EASY TO ASSEMBLE AND DISCREET.
AS YOU CAN SEE THE BINS COME IN THREE PARTS.
SO TAKING THEM HOME IN YOUR CAR IS SIMPLE.
THE BIN COMES WITH FOUR SCREW PEGS TO SECURE IT TO THE GROUND, A HARVEST DOOR THAT CAN SLIDE UP AND HAS THE CAPABILITY OF BEING LOCKED.
ALSO, YOU HAVE A BASE, A TOP AND A LID.
THE COMPOST BINS COME WITH A HANDBOOK THAT INCLUDES EASY ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.
CHOOSING THE LOCATION OF YOUR BIN IS IMPORTANT.
YOU WANT IT TO BE CLOSE TO YOUR HOUSE IN A SHADED AREA AND YOU NEED A WATER SOURCE AVAILABLE.
YOU DON'T WANT IT TOO FAR FROM YOUR HOME BECAUSE YOU WANT THIS TO BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.
YOU NEED A WATER SOURCE, SUCH AS A WATER HOSE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP IT MOIST.
A COUPLE OF THINGS YOU WILL NEED TO START.
YOUR COMPOST BIN ARE SOME GREENS, WHICH IS YOUR NITROGEN SOURCES.
THIS INCLUDES GREEN GRASS AND LEAVES AND GARDEN CLIPPINGS AND YOUR BROWNS.
YOU NEED YOUR BROWNS, WHICH ARE THE CARBONS.
EXAMPLES OF THESE ARE DRIED LEAVES, TWIGS AND WOOD CHIPS.
SOME OTHER EXAMPLES OF YOUR NITROGEN AND CARBON SOURCES ARE LISTED ON THE SCREEN WHEN JUST STARTING YOUR COMPOST BIN.
IT IS IDEAL TO LAYER YOUR GREEN AND BROWN MATERIAL IN AN ALTERNATING PATTERN.
BE SURE TO ADD WATER, TO KEEP YOUR BIN MOIST, LIKE A WRUNG OUT SPONGE.
NOW THAT YOUR COMPOST BIN IS SET UP, YOU'RE ALL SET TO BEGIN DIVERTING YOUR FOOD WASTE.
WHEN YOU WERE IN THE KITCHEN, PREPARING YOUR MEALS, INSTEAD OF TOSSING THOSE FOOD SCRAPS IN THE TRASH, YOU CAN SET THEM ASIDE TO DISPOSE OF AND YOUR COMPOST BIN.
THINGS LIKE PEELS FROM VEGETABLES AND FRUITS, EGGSHELLS, AND COFFEE GROUNDS CAN ALL BE PUT INTO YOUR BIN.
I LIKE TO KEEP A CONTAINER ON MY COUNTER FOR ANY SCRAPS THAT ARE COMPOSTABLE.
A SMALL BIN WITH A LID IS IDEAL TO DETER ANY PEST OR SMELLS.
YOU CAN ALSO STORE YOUR SCRAPS IN THE FRIDGE OR FREEZER UNTIL YOU'RE READY TO TAKE THEM OUT TO YOUR COMPOST BIN.
YOU WANT TO BE SURE TO KEEP THESE ITEMS OUT, BONES, MEAT, AND TOXIC PLANTS.
HERE'S A LIST OF OTHER ITEMS YOU WANT TO KEEP OUT OF YOUR BIN.
I LIKE TO USE A PITCHFORK AND WORK MY WAY AROUND THE BIN.
YOU CAN ALSO USE A SHOVEL OR OTHER GARDEN TOOLS, A PROPERLY MANAGED COMPOST BIN.
SHOULDN'T ATTRACT PESTS OR RODENTS, NOR SHOULD IT SMELL BAD.
IF YOU'RE UNABLE TO COMPOST OUTSIDE, YOU MAY WANT TO EXPLORE VERMICOMPOSTING VERMIN.
COMPOSTING IS WHEN YOU USE WORMS TO FACILITATE THE COMPOSTING PROCESS.
IT CAN BE DONE WITH A SMALL BIN AND CAPTAIN SIDE.
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN COMPOSTING, PLEASE GO TO THE COUNTY WEBSITE TO ORDER YOUR BIN.
