Managed Orono Softball Complex 1985 - 2001 In addition to developing the complex, I managed the maintenance of all of the items on the previous page plus the following: Coordinated infield maintenance, including hiring maintenance workers, setting standards for infield maintenance, developed outfield line painting system that was used until 1997, warning track and complex weed control, building staining, annual infield overhaul, and fence tying. Tournament Scheduling 1985 - 2002 I scheduled up to 10 Tournaments each year that are hosted by various local youth groups as fundraisers to help support their programs.

We have currently restored or reconstructed 6 sites within the park totaling about 20 acres. These projects include site preparation, seeding, two or three mowings during the first year after seeding, watering to promote germination and to prevent loss of young plants, and hand weed removal.
