Although this document was commissioned by the Field Turf industry, it does an excellent job of answering back claims and problematic studies that have attacked field turf. Doctors Edil and Johns (see qualifications below) do an excellent job of answering back claims and assertions with data and facts. I think it is a bit more scientifically valid than something from eHow.com
____________________________________________________________Dr. Edil, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is an international expert in the study of crumb rubber, leachates and toxins. He has received numerous awards from the American Society of Civil Engineers and other institutions.
Dr. Mike Johns is an environmental professional and scientist specializing in human health and ecological risk assessments. He has more than 30 years of professional experience and has been responsible for managing large multitask, multidisciplinary environmental investigations. He is currently the program manager for the Lower Duwamish Waterway remedial investigation and the Portland Harbor

Excellent! Very well stated. I agree 100%. It's sad but true how democracy can be held "hostage" by a handful of folks. Hopefully common sense, common decency toward their neighbors, and a recognition that all they are doing is delaying the inevitable and costing the taxpayers in the process will end the frivolous attempts at subverting the will of the people.

ReplyThat is fantastic news. While I don't agree with those that opposed and appealed the project, it was certainly within their rights to do so. I just hope that now the obstruction will end and they will recognize the will of the people as well as an environmental "clean bill of health." Please don't cost the taxpayers, your neighbors more wasted time and money. $3 million and an extra year would be tragic for all those (like me) that can't wait to see a new high school and the removal of the horror show that is the current high school.

ReplyAt the town fair last night for the fireworks I was thinking about how lucky we are as Wilmington residents to have a truly awesome police department. In addition to what they do every day for the citizens of Wilmington and the folks that pass through our town, at the carnival with all those crowds and lots of folks in from outside of Wilmington, our fine police force keeps control and order without being heavy-handed and obtrusive. Thank you Wilmington Police Department!

ReplyGreetings Kevin. You can simply call me Frank, no need to add "Professor." Here is my "positive input" and idea:
1) The current Wilmington High School should be torn down as that is the will of the majority (overwhelming majority) of our town.
2) A brand new, state-of-the-art high school will be built which will help subsequent generations of Wilmington High School students.
3) The town should use the Yentile Farm property to build a beautiful park complete with walking trails, a multi-purpose field for football/lacrosse/soccer and a baseball field.
4) The obstructionists in town finally yield to the demands of the (overwhelming) majority and stop impeding the town from moving along with the high school project and the Yentile Farm project.A brand new high school will boost student/teacher and staff morale and will increase performance and enhance the experience of our students. Having a new high school and a beautiful park/recreation area will be a boost to town morale and will make Wilmington an even more wonderful community.
I hope that was positive enough. Please go back to recommending students to take my classes. Thanks!

Another donut shop? Why? Couldn't we just get another mediocre roast beef, pizza, seafood restaurant instead?
