CONGRATULATIONS CHAMPIONS!

AAA CHAMPS -- EAST SIDE MART
THANK YOU FOR THE QUICK REPAIRS!

I'd like to update everyone on the incident that occurred
on Mothers Day at Acotes Field, to thank our amazing construction
response team, and to dispel a few rumors.
At 6:30am on Mothers Day, a driver heading eastbound on Route 44
in a Nissan Pathfinder suffered a medical seizure and drove through
the back of our third base dugout, out the side, and through the
backstop.
According to the police report, alcohol and drugs
WERE NOT a factor. The driver of the car was not injured. We have
been in contact with the driver's insurance company who said they
accept responsibility for the incident and plan to reimburse us.
Thankfully, this incident occurred while no one was
on the field. As a result of this event, the GLL will be pursuing
several options to install some sort of safety barrier along the
edge of the parking lot.
Perhaps the most amazing thing about this emergency was that within
24 hours, we were ready to play games again on the field.
SPECIAL THANKS go out to our cavalry (on their tractors)
who rode in to the rescue -- John Mack, Tom Olsen, Steve O'Neil,
Mark Walsh, Joe Impagliazzo, Dave Faria, Peter Mathieu and several
other well-wishers who dropped by with offers of help.
And thanks to all the Moms who had to sacrifice part
of their Mothers Day so our baseball Dads could address this emergency
and keep the GLL season rolling uninterrupted.

OPENING DAY 2008

The annual Opening Day Parade and Opening Ceremonies
were held on Sunday, April 20th at Acotes Field in perfect baseball
weather. Click here for pictures from
Opening Day!
AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATOR (AED)
An
AED has been purchased for use at Acotes Field. An AED is a portable,
automatic device used to restore normal heart rhythm to patients
in cardiac arrest. An AED is applied outside the body. It automatically
analyzes the patient's heart rhythm and advises the rescuer whether
or not a shock is needed to restore the normal heartbeat. The
device is intended to be used by lay persons and even provides
voice commands.Thanks to GLL Safety Officer Bob Shields for leading
the effort to acquire the device, and to our three town fire districts
for their donations and suppoprt to make this happen.
NEW SAFETY PLAN

The
comprehensive, ASAP safety awareness plan for the Glocester Little
League is now availble for review online, as well as at each Snack
Shed. Coaches, managers and parents should take a few minutes
to review this plan and become familiar with league policies and
procedures. Thanks to Saftey Officer Bob Shields for putting this
plan together and getting it out quickly to our community.
