333. Help Our Midget Football Teams
The Youth of Front Royal and Warren County need the Board of Supervisors to have the County of Warren pay the annual light bill charged by the County for the use of Bing Crosby Stadium and surrounding practice fields. Rising expenses in football equipment has financially strapped the league which has been a staple of this comunity for almost 50 years.
The Front Royal Midget Football Leaque receives NO co-sponsoring funds or help from the Waren County Parks and Recreation Dept. Expenses can be as much as $30,000 per year for field fees, lights, gaming policing, insurance, new equipment and for old equipment to be refurbished.

335. Save Aberdeen Football Club
For years and years we have seen our once great club slip down the table from being title contenders to the present day fighting for our lives at the bottom end of the table. One reason for the state of our club is a certain Mr Stewart Milne. Here we have a chairman that is a very good and rich businessman in his chosen field of building houses or homes whichever way you want to put it. Here is a man that under him has certainly transformed my beloved Aberdeen Football Club into the laughing stock of Scottish Football through various disasters.
A once proud club has been allowed to be run into the ground losing money left right and centre for years under Mr Milne, lost players because we couldn't afford to keep them or buy them, ditched a toaster to save on the electricity, cut our squad to the bare minimum filled with players that not even a third division team would take on loan if they wanted that is, thats how bad our playing squad is at the moment. We have been the worst team in Europe official. Promises have been broken Mr Milne now i think is the time to go, why should i travel all the way from Dumfries every saturday to see a team that cant give it's all and dont say its not your fault Mr Milne it is you may be a good house builder but you sure aint a good football chairman do me and many others a favour and go before you put our club out of business, the first protests where today Mr Milne expect it to gather momentum if you dont sort out our club. If you cant do the job no more then GO now, before you lose any creditablity you have left

These are standard issue items. The money for these items have been raised by the teams through fund raisers, donations, and the athletic events.
338. Carrollton, Texas Public Skate Park
Dear Mr. Mayor and Council Members:
It has become apparent that there is NO WHERE in Carrollton for kids to skate. It is presently illegal for skaters to use any public or private side walk or hand rail.
In-line skating and skate boarding are legitimate sports and provide adolescent boys and girls with a fun, harmless and focused activity, in much the same way that baseball and football do. Skating also keeps them from other, not so positive, activities.
Since Carrollton is able to provide more than adequate facilities for baseball, football, tennis, golf, swimming and soccer, why have we not addressed facilities for this growing population of skaters? A place for them to skate would keep them from breaking laws, eliminate man power to police public areas, stop grinding on hand rails and stop waxing curbs, which are all the reasons they are not permitted to use public property now.
We, the residents signed below, request that an OUTDOOR PUBLIC SKATE PARK be built to accommodate in-line skating, skate boarding, grinding and ramp jumping.
339. Supporters of a Los Angeles NFL Franchise
Does anyone else besides me think Los Angeles DESERVES an NFL franchise? They are one of the biggest cities, they are ranked near the top of the TV market, and ever since the Rams and Raiders left, it's like the city only has everything else BUT football! We want to show the NFL there are people who are really wanting to see another team in La La Land! Come on everyone, gives Los Angeles another chance at glory!

344. Institute a Playoff System for NCAA Football
NCAA Division I-A football is the only men's or women's sport in America for which no playoff system exists. The Bowl Championship Series attempts to create a championship game each year by having the top 2 teams from their polling system play against each other. This system has been controversial since it's inception and needs to address the issue at hand. An undisputed national champion can only be decided on the field of play through a playoff system as in every other sport.
345. Return our quality of life - less noise at Emmerich Parks!
10/26/2002
Petition to Give us back our quality of life
To: The Village of Buffalo Grove
ARE YOU TIRED OF THE NOISE AT EMMERICH PARK? IT'S ABOUT TO GET WORSE UNLESS YOU HELP.
Neighboring residents have recently attended several Village meetings in protest of the Buffalo Park District's request to permit the Buffalo Grove Recreational Association (BGRA) and the Bill George Youth Football League (BGYFL) extended usage of the Public Announcement (PA) systems at both East and West Emmerich Park parcels for the entire season, beginning in 2003.
Prior to 1992 Park Ordinances poorly governed the organizations listed above. In 1991 the Park requested that the Village allow them to install PA systems on both parcels. Public hearings and Village meetings took place due to concerns expressed by not only the residents, but by the planning commission and the village board regarding the request. The planning commission vetoed the request (0 yes - 7 no). The Village amended the wording to "limited use" and passed an Ordinance referencing Emmerich East.
"Limited Use" at Emmerich East was defined as:
· The PA system was limited to homecoming, post-season playoff and tournament football games.
· The PA system was limited to three weekends (six days maximum) for football.
· The PA system was limited to a maximum volume of 70 decibels.
· The PA system was limited to specific hours of the day;
o 9:00am - 5:00pm on Saturdays and 12:00noon - 4:30pm on Sundays.
Even though the BGRA and Emmerich West were included in all deliberations, once drafted, the Ordinance failed to include this association and parcel.
"Limited Use" at Emmerich West was discussed to:
· Limit the PA system to All Star games for baseball.
· Limit the PA system to one weekend (two days maximum).
· Limit the PA system to a maximum volume of 70 decibels.
· Limit the PA system to specific hours of the day;
o 9:00am - 5:00pm on Saturdays and 12:00noon - 4:30pm on Sundays.
Through the years, the rules of the Ordinance have constantly been violated, and when requests to enforce the Ordinance were made, little or nothing was done, and the violations continued.
As mentioned previously, the Park District is now asking for amendments to Ordinance. They have requested permission from the Village to allow full usage of the PA from dusk till dawn for the entire football season at the East parcel, and submitted a second request for Ordinance to allow 8:30am start times on Sundays for baseball at the West parcel.
In 1992, there was an estimated 500 participants registered with the BGRA and the BGYFL. There are now an estimated 2,800 participants registered. These numbers do not reflect the teams played against. Activity has risen from some weeknights and some weekends to nearly every night and nearly every weekend.
History of the events that led to the ordinance as well as current events regarding recent discussions can be obtained through the Village web site (www.vbg.org) under "agendas and minutes" then under "board of trustees, preliminary agendas". The most recent meetings regarding this topic began with the Village on September 23rd. The plan commission workshop is anticipated on 11/20/02.
We are asking you as neighbors to help stop any further intrusions to our neighborhood. The continuing growth has polluted and overburdened our streets with traffic and our neighborhood with congestion and noise. Should Emmerich East be allowed full usage of the PA, it will be a matter of time until Emmerich West requests the same. Our efforts are to maintain limited use.
Members of the Village Board have told us that our best defense would be to show up at the public hearings with as many neighboring residents as possible, which is the purpose for this letter. We look forward to any issues, concerns or suggestions that you may have, and truly look forward to your support at future meetings.
Note: We are not fighting City Hall. We are asking that the Village maintain and enforce the "spirit" of the Ordinance, which is to limit the use of any amplified system at both parcels. A petition has been drafted, and there are currently thirty-one (31) signatures. We ask at the very least that you sign this petition. More importantly, please attend as many meetings on this topic as you can.

348. Bring Back Roy
Republic of Ireland captain Roy Keane has been sent home from the World Cup because he publically spoke out about about the FAI & poor training conditions.
Irish management felt Keane's presence would be too disruptive to the rest of the players.
In sending Roy home, the only thing the Irish management have disrupted is Irelands chances in the World Cup.
Forget saving face, for once!
WE want Roy, so bring him back.
349. Football Fans against ITV Digital
With news that ITV Digital has now gone bust and the remaining games to be 'sold' off to the highest bidder, this surely means the end for many of the smaller clubs who were depending on the revenue. It is time the Football Association took charge of the total domination of certain media companies in the United Kingdom which only allow the fat cats to get fatter whilst the smaller, less well known clubs are left to fend for themselves again.
350. Block glasgow in on footie days
Most Rangers and Celtic fans are not from Glasgow. By not allowing people into Glasgow this would reduce the bigots funding their cause through football.
On Sunday the 20th January 2002 the SRC proposed to split the Dublin Football Team into two seperate teams (Northside and Southside). This will only weaken the team and make winning an All Ireland or even a leinster title more remote.
352. Support New AFC Stadium Proposals for Aberdeen City!
Aberdeen Football Club have proposed the construction of a new multi-purpose sports & Leisure stadium on the outskirts of Aberdeen City. A small band of residents 1.5 miles from the site on the other side of a dual carriageway have launched a very vocal protest whilst not providing any real grounds for their objections.
Pittodrie is not deemed economical for re-development and other sites have astronomical price tags on them.
