FACILITY UPDATE

Alpenrose Scoreboard

A new nine-inning scoreboard was installed this week.  The system in the old one was “fried” according to Dave Chandler, Chandler Electric, causing confusion with some of the numbers and making it difficult to read.
  
Hitting Cage

Over twenty 4 X 8 clear plastic boards were installed earlier this month to complete the enclosure of the outside hitting cage.

Mike Chandler (’97) of Chandler Electric and Eric Jeffrey (’97) of Edison Lighting removed all of the old lights in the hitting cage and replace them with seven new 400 watt lamps.

Outfield

Two new sprinkler heads were installed to improve the water coverage in the outfield.  They were put in two brown areas not receiving water.  Mike Chandler helped again, and repaired the electrical wires that were cut because of lack of planning by Mike Clopton.

Mark Franklin, head of the District Grounds Dept., coordinated applications of sand and grass seed in September and October to improve the soil.

Flag Pole

Ken Bergmann, Ken Bergmann Concrete Construction, is in the process of repairing the cracks in the dugout foundations.  He is installing a sidewalk around the concession stand and has designed a flag pole next to the bleachers. 

Sound System

Ron Peterson researched and coordinated the installation of new speakers in the press box.
