Voices: Special seven
I would like to say “thank you” to seven special men and their supervisors who came to the aid of Joplin North Little League.
On Wednesday, May 7, the baseball complex of Joplin North Little League experienced another flood. This time, the fences were completely submerged in over 4 feet of water. When the flood water receded, there was twice as much debris compared to the first flood that occurred last year.
These seven special men came out, along with their supervisors, and worked for four hours and got all of the debris removed from the fences, sacked up what they could, swept into small piles what they couldn’t, removed large stumps that had washed up onto the South field (knocking down the South fence, again), hosing out the restrooms that were under water, removing the bent fence posts, and hosing off the concrete that had mud on it.
Gentlemen, I did not get your names, and I am sorry for that error. But I and the league are grateful for the hard work that you did for us! Without your assistance, it would have been hard for us to be ready to play baseball as we did on Monday night on all three fields.
As I said when you all were leaving, “I hope that I do not see you again under the same circumstances.” I do hope to see you again at the complex watching a game and enjoying yourselves. Thank you once again for your hard work!
Jim Davis,
president,
Joplin North Little League
