[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I think you hit the nail on the head. Lyda, how many of these negative, nasty posts are from you, and others from the Parent Coalition? Clearly the people with kids at Julius West, and kids who play MSI who have had their schedules messed up for 4 weeks now (like mine), are happy with the fields and want them open![/quote]

Most of the discussion here has been about parking and bathrooms.[/quote]

Do you realize that MSI has been using the JW grass field for years?  My DD team practiced here for the last two years. We also had games here too.

No one Parent Coalition ever mentioned about parking and/or bathrooms previously until the turf field was built.

Note:  MSI indicated that the field will not be used any differently or any more than was previously used when it had grass (I.e.  same amount of practices, games, players and parents). [/quote]

People please calm down.  MSI is working this out.  This dispute has nothing to do with these nutcase parents complaining about parking and bathrooms.  Sadly these parents have nothing to do but check and recheck the MD Public Schools forum on DCUM.  The dispute is about $$ and who is going to pay for maintenance of the turf fields.  MSI does not want to pay for maintenance as that was not in the original contract.  They will hopefully work it out and our kids will be playing on the beautiful new turf field under the lights before we know it.  Frankly, I don't care if MSI pays for it or not.  I only care that my kid can play soccer on the new fields as was planned all along.

Here's a little advice for the crazy parents posting here about parking and bathrooms...the weather has been glorious.  Maybe step away from the keyboard and take a walk.  Get your mind off the negative and move on.[/quote]

With the lighted fields, people can even take walks, jog and/or do other exercises when it gets dark especially during the winter months when it gets dark around 6:30om. [/quote]

You must not be from around here.  The City of Rockville is a very safe place and people often walk after dark in complete safety.  I walk my dog and see others doing the same as well as jogging after dark and no one has any problems.  Again, maybe you are new here or from some other part of the county and don't know anything about Rockville.  The City of Rockville even has it's own police department that are fast to respond to all calls.  Much faster than the county cops you would call.  People don't want bright stadium lights shining into their house windows after their kid's bedtimes.  The City of Rockville has complete authority over ordinances within the city.  If they want, the City Council could make it impossible for MSI to ever use that field.[/quote]

I lived in Rockville since 1979. Sign up for the weekly Rockville Crime Report.

It’s called directional lights. Go look at Wootton HS before you complain about lights shining on people’s houses. Gee Wiz!![/quote]

The lighting report has already been completed and the City of Rockville, MSI and MCPS all know that the lights will shine on to 270, the ramps and on to Falls Road and neighbors.

Where can drivers purchase black out curtains for their cars as they drive by these stadium lights? [/quote]

You are stupid to think that the MDOT & Rockville would approve a lighting system that would affect driving on I-270. Please show your source. [/quote]

It hasn't been approved!  [/quote]
