Subject: eKidSafe: $10 Fee Reimbursement

Commissioners,
 
Please inform your Coaches that to receive their $10 eKidSafe reimbursement, they need to send their request and address to:
 

Chuck Thilges

Treasurer
112 Stratford Drive

McMurray PA 15317

724-942-2977

cj.thilges@comcast.net

 
Chuck will issue a $10 check to those who applied for eKidSafe and are on an approved list that I will provide to him.  The eKidSafe program does not result in any type of certificate of approval being issued to applicants ... instead, PTSA has password protected access to an online list of those that are approved or not ... so far, of all that have applied, no one has been "non-approved", although three background checks have not yet been performed due to failure to pay the fee online or by check.

The PTHS Varsity Boys won their match yesterday 2-0 against Central Buck East in the PIAA quarterfinals.  They advance to the PIAA Semi-final Tuesday evening against Pine-Richland (which defeated WPIAL Champion, Bethel Park, 2-1).  Location of Tuesday's match has not yet been determined, but it should be in PA West locally ... check Monday's Post-Gazette website or newspaper).
 
Unfortunately, the PTHS Varisty Girls were eliminated from the PIAA playoffs after losing to Penn-Trafford 1-2 yesterday.  PTHS previously won against Penn-Trafford 9-1 during the regular season.

PTSA Board Members,

 

As was discussed at the October Board Meeting, an online petition has been developed regarding our fields.  The Petition was crafted by Tony Belfiore, Gary Lang and me.  It is now ready for online signatures.  Below is a message I am asking each Commissioner to send to each of their Coaches (for their sending to PTSA Members). 

 

To jumpstart the online signing effort I ask that you log on to the Petition site (see instructions below) and be one of the first to consider signing it.

 

So here are the "action items":

 

1.  Board Members.  Log on, review the petition, and sign it if you support the message and petitioned actions.

 

2.  Commissioners.  Cut and paste the following message and email it to all of your Coaches as soon as possible.

 

I am getting almost daily reports now regarding the poor condition of the fields ... Commissioners, please do not delay in sending this on to your Coaches and make a similar plea to them to send to parents/players.

 

Thanks for your help and thanks to Tony for developing the Petition and Gary Lang for his input and editing.

PTSA Coaches,

 

Over the course of the last few weeks, the soccer fields have deteriorated again.  We believe the problem to be caused largely due to inadequate field maintenance by Peters Township, not overuse by our soccer players.  Although PTSA had expected that the fields were potentially going to receive some intensive reformation over the summer, particularly the Peterswood Soccer Complex (Peterswood Park Field #5), we do not believe that occurred.  During the last year we have experienced cut electrical lines to the irrigation system at Elm Grove leaving it without water for much of the summer, disruption to the water service at Venetia Park since the baseball concession building and restrooms were built there leaving it without water to the present, irrigation system turn-off at Rees Park for a period of three weeks during the September / October drought leaving our best field turf dry and root starved, inadequate top-dressing at Peterswood Soccer Complex and lack of water-wheel use there for most of the summer (when the field was closed for two months)leaving it in a continuously sparse condition, and Old Grasshopper Field lacking any water source for irrigation.  Compounding the irrigation and poor soil conditions at the fields was a severe grub infestation problem that mainifested at Elm Grove and Venetia Park.

 

I believe the Peters Township Parks & Recreation Maintenance Department and the Peters Township Parks & Recreation Director each have good intentions regarding field maintenance.  However, the poor field conditions PTSA experiences year after year speaks for itself ... the fields are substandard and poorly maintained.  Despite my many efforts to draw focus to the issue, I believe that until a majority of PTSA's Members speak out and voice their disatisfaction with the fields' situation, my voice alone will continue to be but a whisper in the wind.  To amplify that whisper to a volume that gets heard, a petition has been crafted by Tony Belfiore (U8 Boys Commissioner), Gary Lang (Vice President), and me.  The petition is attached.  I ask that you send an email to every family you touch as a PTSA Coach with a request that they log-on to the petition site ASAP and to support the petition.  Our goal is to achieve 500 signatures.  If that is achieved, I believe it will represent a collective level of dissatisfaction with the Peters Township fields, by a significant number of Peters Township taxpayers, that the Petition's call to action cannot be ignored by those in responsible positions within Peters Township.

 

To make the petition process easy and accessible by as many PTSA Members as possible, we have placed it online at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/ptsa-field-quality-petition

 

Below are instructions on how to access the petition, "sign it", and leave comments. 

 

Thank you for giving the Petition your consideration and when you send your requests to your Players' families, be sure to include the following instructions:

  1. Go to the PTSA Field Quality Petition web site. 
  2. Under the PTSA Icon, click letter and view whole petition to review our proposal.
  3. Enter your Name, Address and Email. If you like, enter a personal comment for more impact.
  4. Uncheck the boxes under Get Free alerts and hit the sign button.

More than one family member can sign the petition.  All they need to do is:

  1. Click on the petition link again.

The PTHS Indians soccer team won decisively against Fox Chapel last evening 3-0 ... they advance to the semi-finals in their pursuit of a WPIAL Championship.  They next play the Chartiers Valley Colts on Tuesday, October 30th @ 8:00pm at the South Fayette High School stadium field: 3640 Old Oakdale Road, McDonald, PA  15057.  Please spread the word and encourage all Coaches to inform their teams and attend the match.
 
Unfortunately, the PTHS Lady Indians lost last evening 1-2 in their quarterfinal match against Seneca Valley.  Nevertheless, the Lady Indians posted a remarkable 21-1 record, one of the most enviable in the nation.

Please pass this on to your coaches as appropriate.
 
This Saturday, Oct 27th is the last day for our 2007 Fall season.  The weather forecast is calling for cool temperatures and a good chance for rain.  If you decide to cancel your games, please go to the below link, find your game and contact the referees that are assigned to your game.  I will be at a referee recertification class on Friday evening and will likely be working games on Saturday morning, so I won't be around to take your calls and contact the referees.
 
 
Thanks for a great season.

p.s. For those that may be offended by other petitions and messages (a lot of "save the environment" and miscellaneous other causes) that you may see on the "thepetitionsite", I apologize in advance.  PTSA does not endorse those other petitions and messages and I ask you to look past them and toward the ease of use for the online PTSA Field Petition that the site provides.

Subject: Urgent:  Inform Players/Parents about WPIAL Soccer Playoffs - PTHS Stadium Tuesday 10/23/07

PTSA Commissioners:
 
The Boys and Girls PTHS Varsity teams will begin their pursuit of a WPIAL Championship beginning on Tuesday, October 23rd.  The Girls Varsity will play the winner of the Oakland Catholic vs. Waynesburg game at 6:00pm on Tuesday at the PTHS Stadium.  This game will be followed by the Boys Varsity hosting North Allegheny at 8:00pm.
 
Please inform all of your Coaches with a request that they inform the players / parents on their teams ... it would be great to see a lot of PTSA players at the matches wearing their PTSA Jerseys.  For PTSA Teams practicing that evening, suggest that Coaches cancel practice and have their teams sit together to observe all the PTHS players' quickness to the ball, foot skills, overlaps, intensity on the field, shooting, jockeying, pressuring, slide tackling, heading, and passing. 
 
GO INDIANS!!!!!!

If anyone has photos from either the Boys or Girls Youth Nights, please have Coaches send me some of their better ones for the PTSA website.
 
Also, does anyone know how the Girls' Make-up Youth Night went last evening?  I wasn't able to attend.

Girls Commissioners (and Boys Commissioners too):

The PTHS Lady Indian Soccer team has rescheduled Youth Soccer Night for its match against one of its biggest rivals, the Upper St. Clair Lady Panthers, on Monday, October 15th at 7:30pm.  Attached is an event flyer you can print for all your players and also email it to your Coaches for their forwarding to players & parents.  110 PTSA 30th Year Anniversary T-shirts were distributed at the 9/26/07 match which was "lightening" canceled, so we have about 200 more T-shirts to giveaway to the Youth players ... lets publicize this event with a goal to beat the Boys Youth Night attendance at which 205 T-shirts were distributed.

Encourage your players to support the JV & Varsity teams ... some day in the future, many of the players in your PTSA in-house and travel leagues will be playing at a high level for PTHS, the premier high school program in Western PA, the 4th ranked team in Region 3, and amongst the best teams in the country as the most recent NSCAA (National Soccer Coaches Association of America) rankings listed the PTHS Lady Indians 19th in the United States ... they are a special team to watch and PTSA youth players can learn a lot from how they play soccer.

Re: PCA Coaches Clinic
 
Through the initiative of the Park and Recreation Board the Youth exemplifying Sportsmanship Program was implemented. Through this program the Board mission is to "Provide the children of Peters Township with an opportunity to participate in positive sports programs by: coordinating and guiding Parks and Recreation Sports Associations in promoting sportsmanlike conduct in their respective organizations, providing written materials, resources and training to parents, coaches and players and monitoring the successes and needs of all participants". The Y.E.S. program is offering this Coaches Clinic to help work toward this mission.
 
Participants of the Coaches Clinic will receive valuable tools and information to help enhance their performance and maximize the players' experience. They will receive a certificate card upon completion of the workshop. And each association will get one background check voucher for each coach that attends from their association. We expect each association to have at least 20% of their coaching staff in attendance for the clinic. Because of the help of grants and contributions from Rotary, VFW, Washington County and the DCED, the cost of the clinic will be free to those attending. We will have refreshments and provide materials needed for the clinic; all they need to do is show up.
 
We ask for your involvement and support. Please get the word out. Send out a group email with the information to your participants. Pass out the flyers that we have provided at practices and games. Encourage participation; it can only benefit your organization and more importantly the children that participate.
 
Thank you, in advance for your support and cooperation. Please feel free to call (724-942-5000) if you have any questions or suggestions on how to improve the Y.E.S program.

To all soccer families:

This year's Max and Erma's Proceed Day Fundraiser for the PTHS Soccer Boosters is Tuesday, October 2, at our local Peters Township Max and Erma's restaurant.  Please mark your calendars now for this event! 

This is a simple fundraiser for our group which has been very successful in the past.  Our booster group will receive 20% of all food and beverage sales that day when a PTHS Soccer Booster Flyer is presented for the order (See attachment).  Please note that this is not a discount on orders, but simply a fundraiser.

So please print out, hand out, or forward by e-mail, the attached flyer to family members, friends, and neighbors for their use.  We will receive the 20% of sales proceeds for orders all through the day - lunch, dinner, and carry-out.

Please note two stipulations:

         You must present the flyer for your sale to be counted in our total.

         You may not distribute flyers on the Max and Erma's property.  This includes the parking lot.  We will forfeit ALL
         proceeds if this occurs.

There are no games on Tuesday, October 2, so plan on going with your family, team, friends, or neighbors for this event!!!

Fwd: Dogs on Fields

Please forward to your parents.


---------- Forwarded message ----------
Commissioners,
 
Please send a notice to your Coaches to remind parents that loose dogs are not permitted at the soccer fields and leashed dogs are discouraged (as they tend to distract, frighten some players and other spectators) ... also, one of our coaches had to remove "dog dirt" from a playing field due to the lack of consideration exhibited to others by a dog owner who ignored Peters Township park rules or was extremely inattentive to their dogs' business.  I know we've had instances of dogs appearing at the fields that are running loose from surrounding neighborhoods ... in those instances,  Peters Townhip's Animal Control should be contacted as it is responsible for stray or lost dogs ... Animal Control Officer Kim Secreet can be reached at 724-746-4344.  If no answer there, the Peters Township Non-Emergency Police number is 724-942-5030.

Fwd: Youth Night - Player Process at PTHS Varsity Soccer Matches 9/18 & 9/2

From: Peter Chiste <pmchiste@hotmail.com>
Date: Sep 15, 2007 7:38 AM
Subject: Youth Night - Player Process at PTHS Varsity Soccer Matches 9/18 & 9/2

Commissioners,
 
Here's the process players / parents should go through on the Youth Nights ... please communicate to Coaches:
The Peters Township Soccer Boosters Youth Night Coordinators will be at the stadium by 6:00 for Youth Night  Players can arrive that early for checking in at the table (they can watch the JV games which start at 6:00), although most of the youth players won't arrive until 7:00 – 7:30.  A table near the ticket booth will be set-up for the players and teams to register and get their PTSA 30 Year Anniversary T-shirts (for the first 250 players, each Youth Night) and free raffle tickets (for prizes). The Coordinators will stay at the table until half time of the Varsity game. The players and teams are to congregate on the far side of the ticket booth area twenty minutes before half-time (near the table).  Then, the players will walk out on the field when their team is announced – then they can form a "victory tunnel" for the Varsity players return to the field for the second half.
Also, I've left some extra "flyers" in glassine bags at the PSC and Rees fields this morning ... please encourage all coaches to have their players participate on 9/18 (boys) and 9/26 (girls).  Flyers are attached again if you want to send another email to Coaches.
Attached are "Flyers" for the Peters Township Soccer
Youth Nights at the High School Varsity games on Sep 18 (boys) and Sep 26
(girls).  Please send these attachments to every Coach and encourage them to
have as many players attend as possible, individually or as a team.  To
encourage attendance, PTSA 30 Year Anniversary T-Shirts will be given to the
first 250 youth players attending each night (boys on 9/18 and girls on
9/26).  I will have hard copies available for all Commissioners for their
Coaches at the Board Meeting, as well.  Let's promote the heck out of this
... attendance last year was really low ... again, please encourage all
players to attend and watch the #1 ranked varsity teams (PTHS Indians' boys
and girls) in WPIAL.  Most of the players on those varsity teams are
graduates of PTSA In-House and Travel Soccer ... watching them play will
spark our youth players to become more ambitious soccer players and
advocates.  The high school varsity pace of play is fast, very fast, the
players have great technical skills, and the tactical game is very high
level ... Coaches, turn the game into a coaching tool for your players!"
Finally, the PTSA 30 Year Anniversary T-Shirts (500) have been delivered to me ... they'll be distributed on Youth Nights.
 
We hope the games, T-Shirt promotion, prize raffle AND attention on PTSA PLAYERS at halftime draws a lot of the PTSA youth players to the events.

Venetia Fields Closed

U8 Boys coaches:

Venetia Fields Closed
The Venetia Fields will be closed this Friday (tomorrow) and this weekend. The games scheduled for Venetia (Nee v DeGurian, Brucker v Donina, Bubash v Hoffman) will be moved to PSC Field #4. The referees have already been contacted.

Reason
There is a severe grub problem at several of our fields, including Venetia. PTP&R Maintenance will be applying grub treatment tomorrow. Since Venetia Field's irrigation system is turned off (due to leak in system), the fields need to be closed due to toxicity of the treatment not being "wet-in".

Contact Parents & Respond To Me
If you are Nee, DeGurian, Brucker, Donina, Bubash or Hoffman, please contact your parents about the games and let me know you received this message.

Practices
Friday (tomorrow) Venetia practices should be moved to PSC. This would affect DeGurian and Opferman. Again, let me know you got this message.

--Tony

Re: Peterswood Park Re-routed Access: Saturday, Sept 22nd
