News and notes: Ref schedule:  @ FGs Cowser- 5:30 refs 4, 4 refs 5:30. 9 refs 7, and 7 refs 9.  @ FGs Wrigley- 7 refs the 4, 4 refs 5:30, and 5:30 refs 7.  Standard ref schedule applies at WTP, Edgewood, Woodlawn, and Hillcrest. If you have any questions regarding the above ref schedule, please contact me. The garage will open early today to accommodate the early games (4 p.m.).  I'm interested to see how things go at Cowser. We intend on using that field much more during the second half of the season (sans the mound). Can recycling- Cans for the Community will use Douglas County Fairgrounds as the collection hub today.  When you bring the equipment back to the garage, please drop the green recycling bag and take the plastic bag (with cans) to the Fairgrounds. All Star Game Weekend- Please pick one guy and one gal from your team to represent your squad at next week's game:  8 p.m. @ Hobbs.  Also, we intend to use Hobbs for pickup games beginning around 5 p.m.  It'll be an interesting weekend for attendance because of the holiday.  Please come join the fun if you are able! Refs- A brief reminder, our responsibility (as refs) is to be attentive and be ready to make a call. Mistakes will happen!  Move on.  We had some issues at several sites last week. If all goes well, the second half schedule will be posted before next weekend.  That should be very interesting. Finally, a BIG THANKS to Clayton Snodgrass for his tireless work on the website!  You sir, are the stuff.... Thankfully, it'll be much cooler today (still important to hydrate).  Enjoy your kickball Sunday! Deron
