So
if
they
make
so,
we
stress
anytime,
a
new
member
signs
up.
We
stress
to
them
that
if
they
have
an
idea
that
they're
going
to
be
wanting
to
play
a
week
from
whatever
day
it
is
that
they're
to
get
on
the
phone
and
call
they
can
always
cancel
a
time
if
they
want
if
they
need
to
cancel.
But
that
is
a
huge
benefit
that
they
need
to
be
using
right.
A
B
F
B
B
A
F
I
mean
historically,
I
mean
saturn
sunday
morning
times
before.
11
o'clock
are
more
than
90
percent
members,
so
I
mean
that's
just
the
way
it
is
we
very
few
outsiders
because
the
members
know
to
jump
on
the
times
and
even
before
we
instituted
last
year,
the
the
ability
of
the
member
to
to
call
an
hour
ahead.
G
A
C
F
G
F
B
C
A
Tee
time
at
cheney,
anybody
want
it.
No,
so
it's
it's
good,
stuff
and
and
you're
right.
We
just
kind
of
need
to
pay
attention
to
those
balances
and
those
things
that
we're
hearing
we
start
hearing
one
way
or
the
other
people
either
can't
get
it
to
time
when
they'd
like
to
play
in
their
season
pass
holders,
or
vice
versa,
that
the
public
is
struggling
to
to
get
a
tee
time.
Because
I
imagine
you
need
that.
We
we
need
that
public
greens
fee
in
order
to
support
the
income
and
the
revenue
here.
D
E
G
F
A
F
F
F
A
It's
I
mean
it's,
it's
it's
a
it's
one
of
these
signals
of
the
problem
that
we've
got
you've
got
if
you've
got
49
new
members,
then
that's
you
know:
that's
12
new
groups,
potentially
that
want
to
play
on
a
saturday
or
sunday
or
on
a
monday
or
a
tuesday,
or
something
like
that.
So
I
mean
it's
just
it's
just
reminding
us
that
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
things
like
that
happening.
A
And
it
would
be
interesting
to
keep
track
of
you
know
what
percentage
of
the
tea
times
get
filled
up
on
between
four
and
five
on
average,
be
interesting,
even
just
for
a
couple
days
to
figure
that
out,
but
it's
a
good.
I
mean
it's
a
good
problem,
todd!
It's
not
it's
not,
but
there's
a
it's
just
a
good
problem.
A
F
A
F
Boy,
oh
boy,
we're
killing
it
right
now,
but
I
mean
you're
right.
We
have.
We
always
have
to
be
sensitive
to
the
revenue
that's
coming
in
and
there
has
to
be
a
balance.
I
mean
if
you
have
500
members
and
you're
going
to
have
that
much
that
number
less
of
greens
fees
that
can
be
accommodated
and
and
so
yeah
there
has
to
be
a
balance
between
the
two
and
that's
why
that
kind
of
discussion
has
to
happen.
B
B
C
No,
I
I
I
stuck
around
with
places
that
you
know
you
can't
get
reservations
or
you
can.
You
know
what
you
know
when
to
go
or
when
not
to
go,
and
you
work
around
it.
No
problem.
Some
friends
asked
me
they
said.
Should
we
go
to
the
should
we
go
to
the
brunch
at
easter
at
the
ocean
house,
and
then
I
asked
him
and
they
said
it's
a
mad
house
that
weekend
don't
bother.
You
know
come
another
weekend
yeah,
so
you
know
you.
C
C
A
C
F
A
And
maybe
that's
something
that
we
consider
and
if
that's
a
good
point,
if
the
numbers
get
too
big,
that
could
be
a
potential
where
the
benefit
to
the
full
member
full
player
is
four
o'clock
and
the
benefit
to
the
associate
and
associate
plus
is
that
they
can
pay.
They
can
play
anytime,
but
they
start
making
tea
times
at
five
or
four
thirty,
something
it's
just
for
something
to
consider
for
the
future.
B
B
D
So
we
have
been
busy
letting
people
know
about
our
the
flexibility
in
memberships,
flexibility,
meaning
they
don't
have
to
sign
up
by
the
end
of
march
for
the
season
to
kick
off
at
april
1st
they
there's
flexibility,
we've
been
letting
people
know
about
that.
We've
sent
out
an
email
with
the
new
rates
to
11
000
unique
subscribers.
D
D
We
did
a
series
of
six
different
posts,
one-
and
this
was
back
in
march,
one
focused
on
women's
histories
month
and
talked
about
glenna
collette
var,
and
you
know
that
she's
on
the
or
in
the
u.s
golf
hall
of
fame-
and
there
was
also
some
facebook
posts
about
memberships
and
jessica,
said
to
me
that
we've
it
since
january
to
march,
we
had
the
the
most
significant
increase
in
facebook
likes.
We
picked
up
108
likes
and
we
are
currently
at
1486
followers.
D
Yes
yep,
so
we
are,
and
we
will
continue
to
remind
people
on
a
monthly
basis
that
their
memberships
are
their
citizens
pass
is
coming
due,
so
we'll
be
doing
that
now,
I
think
every
single
month,
because
I
think
we're
getting
new
members
every
single
month
all
year
long.
So
we
will
continue
to
do
that.
Just
to
remind
folks
about
that.
A
D
Yeah
one
thing
we
are
seeing
is
some
of
those
seasoned
pass
holders
whose
membership
is
not
does
not
come
up
until
may
or
june.
I
think
we're
they're
already
signing
up
ahead
of
time.
So,
depending
on
how
many
sign
up
in
advance,
we
may
see
a
drop
off
in
the
number
of
memberships,
because
people
are
kind
of
signing.
There
may
be
a
bubble
where
it's
higher
in
the
front
and
then
it
tapers
off,
because
everybody
was
anxious
to
sign
up
again,
even
though
they
didn't
really
have
to.
A
D
D
A
D
Yes,
so
this
is
something
that
we
discussed
back
in
september
of
2019
eric
met
with
jenny
field
schofield,
who,
I
think
works
for
the
state
she's
the
national
register.
In
architectural
survey
coordinator.
He
gave
her
a
tour
of
the
facility,
they
had
a
lengthy
discussion
and
I
think
in
summation
she
thought
that
the
property
would
be
worthy
of
being
designated
on
the
state
register,
I'm
not
sure
about
the
national
register
and
I'm
just
reading
for
minutes.
D
She
did
say
that
the
application
process
is
lengthy
and
in
most
cases,
an
organization
will
hire
a
consultant
to
complete
the
task.
Typically,
that
costs
around
twenty
thousand
dollars
the
state
at
that
time
in
2019,
had
municipal
grant
matching
funds
where
the
town
would
have
to
contribute
around
ten
thousand
dollars
and
the
rest
of
the
money
would
come
from
the
state.
D
D
I
I
did
talk
to
greg
hanover,
who
is
the
new
director
of
public
works
because
greg
handles
most
of
the
cip
projects,
and
there
is
a
list
of
projects
to
be
completed
or
on
the
schedule
either
at
the
cart
building
or
in
some
other
place.
I
think
out
front
landscaping
out
in
front
of
the
build.
Well,
I
call
it
the
front
of
the
building.
D
D
D
Okay,
so
I
guess
you
know
that's
my
one
concern
because
every
time
I
mention
this
to
somebody
they're
like
oh
well
now,
you're
gonna
have
to
jump
through
a
lot
more
hoops
to
do
any.
Do
any
work.
So
I
you
know,
I'm
not
sure,
I'm
not
sure
that
we
really
need
to
be
jumping
through
more
hoops
and
I'm
not
sure
what
value
being
on
the
national
historic
register
or
on
a
historic
register.
G
B
G
D
C
As
I
understand,
the
restriction
is
unwarranted
destruction,
so
we
can't
tear
the
building
down
or
you
know,
cut
half
of
it
off
or
something,
but
they
would
if
it's
on
the
once,
if
it's
on
the
state
register
is
there
are
restrictions.
If,
if
we
take
money,
if
we
get
a
grant
to
do
some
work
and
then
there's
a
there's,
a
an
easement
that
goes
with
it
over
a
period
of
time,
so
we
can't
fool
around
with
it
without
checking
with
them,
first
after
they
after
they've
paid
for
it.
C
C
So
I
don't
think
there's
a
great
as
far
as
who
goes
to
the
course.
I
don't
know
people
the
survey
said
people
went
to
the
course
for
they
played
there
because
it's.
Why
do
I
keep
forgetting
the
guy's
name,
they'll
design
the
course
yeah
donald
ross
and
according
to
the
survey,
some
people
said
they
played
it
because
it
was
a
donald
rush,
so
there's
quite
a
number
of
them,
whether
it's
true
or
not?
I
don't
know,
but
you
know
national
register
people
talk
about
those
things.
C
C
They
do
have
someone
that
will
help
you
out
with
the
with
construction
things
that
are
in
compliance
with
the
ada,
I'm
afraid
the
town
manager
took
that
to
me.
We
could
get
out
of
making
ada
compliant
bathrooms.
It's
all
part
of
the
ada,
this
historic
things
that
are
even
eligible
doesn't
necessarily
have
to.
If
I
like
it
right,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
on
the
on
the
register,
but
it'd
be
worth
dropping
a
time
to
this
guy
to
see.
C
D
C
D
C
C
C
G
G
C
C
Anyway,
counselor
board
alone
said
you're
going
to
try
to
move
this
forward,
and
I
said
I'm
tired
of
this
stuff
and
then
later
I
was
talking
yes
to
counselor
bone
gartner
and
he
says
good
idea.
He
said
get
it
started
and
then
you
know
I
I
sent
the
thing
out
and
then
he
picked
it
up
and
started
asking
questions.
He
said
he's
going
to
put
it
on
the
make
a
I'm
trying
to
get
it
on
the
agenda
of
council.
E
E
C
E
D
E
D
And
you
know
we
there
aren't
things
that
we
need
to
do
now
in
order
to
get
the
clubhouse
on
the
register.
It
would
be
evaluated
based
on
the
condition
it
is
now
in
the
history
of
the
building,
and
you
know
there
aren't,
like
all
you
there's,
not
gold
standards
that
have
to
be
met
in
order
to
be
as
far
as
the
condition
of
the
facilities
to
determine.
You
know
whether
you
qualify
it's
more
the
historical
nature
of
the
clubhouse
or
or
the
course.
E
D
C
A
You
know
five
year
10-year
plan
and
part
of
that
could
be
items
like
national
register
of
historic
places,
maintaining
the
audubon,
designation
and
doing
some
of
this
other
stuff.
We
already
have
a
plan
for
improvements
to
the
course,
but
it
feels
like
from
we.
It
feels
like
we're
missing
a
kind
of
that
overall
arching
picture
of
the
where
we
want
this
golf
course
to
be
in
five
years
or
ten
years,
and
I'm
wondering
if
it
would
be
worth
doing
that
exercise
and
and
then
potentially
having
this
national
register
application
process
come
out
of
that
exercise.
C
It
occurred
to
me
when
I
saw
the
architects.
You
know
the
donald
ross
certified
architect
planned
that
donald
rust.
In
fact,
I
recall
asking
who
the
hell
is
donald
ross
and
then-
and
I
said,
maybe
you
can
put
it
on
the
national
register.
And
then
I
looked
around
and
found
a
couple
of
courses
that
were
on
for
oh.
C
You
know
one,
and
I
said
it
looks
like
it's
a
possibility
and
and
history
sells,
I
mean
how
many
times
you
see
this
located
in
historic,
whatever
I
upped
in
base
in
barnett's
corners,
I
look
at
their
website.
They
make
stringed
instruments
and
it
says
located
in
historic,
burnett's
corners
like
is
that
the
furnace
corners,
I
know,
yeah,
it's
it's
it's
marketing.
A
This
I
I
mean
for
me,
it
feels
like
you
know
if
somebody
were
to
make
a
blanket
statement
that
said
in
five
years.
This
is
what
we
want.
Shana
cossett
to
be.
This
is
how
we
want
to
operate.
This
is
you
know
a
few
things
I
just
don't
feel
like.
We
quite
have
that
right
now,
except
for
the
fact
that
we've
seen
the
architect's
plan,
so
we
know
that
in
five
years
or
less
or
more,
hopefully,
less
the
course
is
going
to
be.
A
A
We
have
to
your
point,
given
that
the
lifespan
of
a
strategic
plan,
typically
five
to
eight
nine
years,
it
feels
like
we've
kind
of
lost
track
of
that
and
and
in
that
time
we've
had
several
the
world
has
gone
upside
down
twice
at
least,
and
so
you
know
things
have
changed.
The
golfing
world
has
changed.
A
A
lot
of
things
have
changed,
and
I
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
positioning
the
course
to
be
in
a
good
place
to
to
do
all
these
things.
The
things
that
you're
talking
about
gary
and
everything
else
for
the
next
15
20
years,
right
that
we're
doing
things
now,
as
the
stewards
of
the
course
to
to
make
sure
that
that
happens
correctly.
D
Yeah
margaret,
I
think
I
think
you
make
a
good
point
that
we
need.
We
need
an
overarching
plan
and
some
of
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
now
would
fall
under
that
plan
right
and
and
rather
than
like.
I
think
you
said
cherry
picking.
You
know
picking
this
and
picking
that,
let's,
let's
have
a
big
plan
and
decide
okay,
what
are
our
priorities?
And
I
would
agree.
B
A
A
Right
and
that
those
those
those
things
are
kind
of
the
golf
course
facilities
side
of
it,
and
I
hear
you
absolutely
agree
with
you
eric
on
that.
I
mean
that
we've
all
seen
the
the
punting
down
the
road,
but
to
have
that
kind
of
plan
to
be
able
to
go
and
say
hey.
This
is
how
this
is
where
we
see
the
golf
course
in
five
years,
we're
not
able
to
do.
I
mean
it's
not
just
you
know,
redesign
the
green
complex
on
number
four.
It's
also
how
we
operate.
A
I
just
feels
like
the
last
time
we
did
and
or
that
work
was
done,
that
wasn't
even
involved
at
that
time
was
15
20
years
ago.
I've
been
living
here,
15
years
and
it
was
done
before
I
got
here.
So
it's
been
a
while,
since
we've
had
kind
of
that
cohesive
communication
of
what
we
want.
The
golf
course
to
be.
F
It's
to
apply
the
the
findings
of
the
ngf,
but
I
mean,
but
we
all
have
to
to
acknowledge
and
remember
that
the
golf
course
is
a
special
enterprise
fund
and
nothing
happens
unless
we
have
the
money,
so
we
we
only
can
pay
for
what
we
can
pay
for
and
the
other
stuff
that
we
can't
pay
for,
which
is
the
the
the
capital.
Improvements
comes
from
the
general
fund
and
that's
where
eric
says
is
kick
down
the
road
kick
down
the
road
kick
down
the
road.
F
We
are
fine
operationally
with
what
we
make
in
green's
fees,
cart
fees
season
passes,
but
but
we're
at
the
whim
of
the
general
fund
as
far
as
capital
improvements,
so
there's
no
planning
that
we
can
make.
We
can
make
any
plan
that
we
want
to
make,
but
it's
not
going
to
happen
unless
there's
the
will
of
the
rtm
and
the
town
council
to
go
ahead
and
pay
for
it.
C
Well,
my
my
career
at
the
rtm
has
been
a
certain
amount
tied
up
in
the
former
fitch
middle
school
and
getting
out
and
getting
everybody
out
of
william
seeley
and
into
fitch
mark
we'll
say
you
know
they.
They
wanted
400
000
and
then,
when
they
got
200
000
and
the
next
year
was
200
000,
I
think
they
hit
a
hundred
thousand.
You
know
it
was
awful.
A
Then,
let's
just
declare
that
and
be
done
and-
and
we
continue
on,
but
it
just
feels
like
we're
asking
for
things
like
that
to
investigate
registers
of
historic
places
and
doing
all
these
other
things
without
kind
of
an
overarching
strategy
for
where
we
want
this
course
to
be.
Not
all
of
it
requires
money.
I
mean
a
lot
of.
It
can
be
what
we
want
the
course
to
stand
for
what
kinds
of
things
were
going
on.
We've
just
come
through
an
incredibly
lucrative
year.
I
can't
imagine
that
last
year
we
even
with
that
operationally.
E
Yeah,
I'm
quiet,
that's
right!
No,
I
mean
I
agree
with
margaret.
We
are
doing
things
here
and
there
and
but
we've
got
outside
factors
that
influence
influence
us
and
if,
if
we
don't
have
a
plan,
then
we're
not
going
to
go
anywhere,
I
agree
with
margaret.
I
think
we
should
try
and
set
up
a
five-year
plan.
At
least
I
we've
got
all
those
plans
for
redoing.
The
golf
course
that
came
out
what
two
three
years
ago,
everything
was
nice
and
organized
year
this
year
that
everything's
there
I
mean
that's
a
start-off
point
mm-hmm.
B
C
There
are
nickels
worth
everybody's
on
the
surveys:
they
they
speak
favorably
of
the
bunkers
and
actually
it's
probably
just
one
bunker's
set
of
bunkers
that
got
redone,
but
it
has
an
impression
they
don't
look
at.
They
look
at
the
good
one
that
we
did
and
forget
about
the
one
that
we
were
going
to
do
and
didn't
do
yet.
E
Yes,
is
this
where
I
might
bring
up
something
that
I
talked
about
last
fall,
it's
kind
of
unfinished
business.
I
think,
okay,
I
I
spoke
about
mosquitoes
and
I
would
like
entered
into
the
record
tonight
that
I
talked
to
a
joe
blanchard
from
the
ledge
like
health
district,
and
he
told
me
what
they
do.
E
They
do
go
out
into
the
community,
but
not
they
wouldn't
go
out
for
the
golf
course,
but
they
would
go
out
into
individual
people's
homes
areas
and
they
would
use
a
larvicide
to
take
care
of
the
mosquitoes
in
a
particular
area
in
somebody's
yard
and
at
that
point
eric
said
that
he
would
consider
doing
something
like
that.
Don't
let
me
put
words
in
your
mouth
eric,
but
I
think
that's
what
you
said
now.
I
did
read
over
this
shinikasa
best
management
practices.
G
G
Problem
with
those
is
that
you
actually
jump
so
it
kind
of
brings
them
out
of
where
they
are.
So
you
got
to
locate
the
machine
in
a
good
spot,
but
you
could
technically
make
the
problem
worse
and
then
I'm
gonna,
I
don't
think
he's
using
them.
I'm
gonna
go
over
to
the
club
and
at
least
check
it
out
and
see
how
it
works
and
maybe
he'll.
E
E
E
D
A
C
C
B
D
B
D
B
A
F
B
B
A
Other,
let's
see
other
sources
of
revenue
that
come
into
the
course
really
not
much
right,
so
we've
never
talked
about
other
uses
of
the
golf
course
beyond.
Just
golf
right,
I
think
conversations
about
foot
golf
came
up
way
back
in
the
past
things
along
those
lines,
but
I
haven't
heard
any
discussion
of
that
recently.
A
And
maybe
I
mean
that's
something
to
think
about
the
other,
the
other
that
does
bring
up
one
other
thing,
and
that
is
that
we
do
have,
especially
as
we
get
into
the
summer
hours.
I
mean,
there's
still
nine
holes
worth
of
golf.
They
complete
after
six
pm
at
night,
and
so
are
we
losing
out
on
revenue
by
closing
the
pro
shop
at
six
instead
of
say
it's
seven
well,.
F
F
F
Any
advertisement:
well,
yes,
of
course,
we
we
have
our
our
our
rate
schedule
advertising
and
our
twilight
rate
is
five
o'clock
and
we
have
a
really
good
five
o'clock
kind
of,
I
wouldn't
say
a
rush,
but
I
would
say
quite
a
few
people
come
out
at
the
five
o'clock
hour
to
to
play
and
yeah
so
yeah.
We
do
that
and
we
get
some
good
action.
F
A
E
D
B
G
B
B
B
F
We
casey
and
I
do
not
take
any
fees,
so
so
any
revenue
that's
generated,
goes
to
the
department
and
and
so
and
when
we're
when
we're
so
we're
so
good
with
that,
because
casey
and
I,
as
golf
professionals,
were
all
about
growing
the
game
and
encouraging
kids
to
to
you
know
get
into
the
game.
Because
that's
our
future
and
that's
you
know,
that's
our
livelihood,
honest
honestly,
but
the
thing
about
it
is
it's.
It's
all
a
matter
of
participation.
F
I
mean
when
back
in
90,
98
and
2000
when
tiger
just
came
on
when
we
were
running
our
our
junior
camps,
we
had
almost
30
kids
come
out,
which
is
a
lot.
That
is
a
lot,
and
so
it
just
so
happened
that
that
that
a
friend
of
mine
who
was
between
jobs,
ryan
quinn,
pga
professional,
he
said
hey
I'll
help
out
whatever.
So
so
so
we
were
able
to
handle
that
that
surge
in
participation,
because
for
safety
and
for
effectiveness,
I
mean
we.
F
F
So
we
would
love
to
see
an
increase
in
participation
that
that's
the
thing
we
have
equipment,
the
kids.
Frankly,
the
kids
have
equipment
their
their
parents.
If
they're,
if
they're,
going
to
enroll
them
into
a
junior
golf
camp,
the
kids
have
equipment,
but
we
also
have
equipment
on
the
chance
that
the
kid
the
the
the
youngster
does
not
have
equipment.
We
do
have
equipment,
we
have
balls,
we
have
the
areas
and
we
have
the
wherewithal
to
to
handle
them.
F
Like
and
as
as
far
as
marketing
goes
guys,
the
I
mean
the
objective
for
the
for
the
program
is
to
grow
the
game,
as
I
said,
but
I
mean
the
marketing
really.
Is
the
department
handles
the
marketing
jess
in
in
the
in
the
in
the
department
and
in
park
and
rec
does
a
great
job
with
promoting
our
our
stuff?
F
You
know
game
boy
whatever
and
come
out
and
and
and
play
the
game.
I
want
to
have
that
discussion
with
you,
because
I
think
that's
a
key.
We
have.
We
have
the
we
have
the
resources,
we
have
the
professional
participation
with
casey
and
me
as
we
always
have
every
year,
but
we
need
to
get
the
kids
out
onto
you,
know
the
the
golf
course
and
and
into
the
program,
because
we
we
offer
every
chance
every
chance
for
them
to
come
out
and
and
participate.
F
F
D
F
I
love,
I
love
the
we're
all
about
inclusion,
we're
all
about
about
getting
kids
out
there.
We
we
have
a
total
interest
in
in
growing
the
game
because,
because
their
participation
is,
is
the
future
of
our
game
and
our
livelihood
and
the
golf
course
is
livelihood
and
so
so
yeah.
So
I
I
think
that
that
we
really
need
to
sit
down
and
and
maybe
plot
out,
maybe
some
ways
that
we
can
go
ahead
and
get
that
thing
done.
A
A
F
During
during
the
week
during
the
week,
it's
is
shown
to
be
after
two
or
three
years
of
doing
that
during
the
week.
It's
it's
it
just
when
they're
in
school.
It's
you
know,
of
course,
there's
the
the
complication
with
covid.
Obviously,
but
it's
it's
problematic
and
you
and
you
raise
the
idea
of
saturday
or
sunday
well,
we
could
certainly
try.
I
mean
you
know.
F
B
A
Yeah,
so
I
think
we
would
be
happy
to
get
some
people
and
and
help
you
think
through
ways
to
get
younger
kids
in
particular.
Maybe
little
seven
and
eight
I
mean
you
just
had
drive
chip
and
putt
on
the
weekend.
You
know,
maybe
it's
organizing
programs
around
something
like
that
with
the
younger
ones.
I
mean
they
start
at
seven
years
old
for
them.
A
G
G
The
national
association
of
golf
course
superintendents
gcsa,
set
out
a
goal
of
having
all
50
states
have
a
published
best
management
practices
guide
by
2020.
So
when
I
was
president
of
the
connecticut
association
of
golf
course
superintendents
our
local
chapter,
we
secured
grant
money
to
start
that
process.
G
G
You
know
several
other
specialists
in
the
new
england
area.
Initially
it
was
going
to
be
a
new
england.
Best
management
guides
practices
with
all
six
states,
working
together
with
people
from
all
the
universities,
but
that
didn't
work
out.
So
we
did
most
of
the
work
in
connecticut
first,
so
we
ended
up
just
going
on
our
own
at
some
point
and
we
did
reach
the
goal
by
2020.
Last
year
we
connecticut
superintendents
published
the
state
guide
for
best
management
practices
for
golf
courses.
G
So
it's
a
comprehensive
document.
There's
12
sections-
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
read
through
it,
but
basically
it's
kind
of
like
a
road
map
to
maintaining
a
golf
course
in
connecticut,
using
the
best
practices
we
can
to
protect
the
environment,
okay
and
do
things
science
based
with
research
that
backs
what
we
do
so
once
the
connecticut
guide
was
published
now,
there's
a
template
online
where
each
course
can
go
in
and
customize
the
document
to
their
own
course.
G
E
G
B
A
G
G
G
We
hired
a
consultant
to
help
us
put
it
all
together
after
we
had
a
lot
of
the
individual
chapters
written
so
yeah.
It's
it's
a
very
professional
document,
there's
actually
a
forward
by
joel
acaba
in
there
tigers,
caddy,
there's
some
other
stuff
in
there,
but
yeah
it's
fairly
comprehensive.
But
it's!
You
know
something
that
if
anybody
wonders
what
we
do
at
shenacast,
you
know
a
lot
of
this
stuff.
We
were
doing
already.
We
were
certified
with
the
audubon
society
since
2005.
B
G
G
B
G
So
those
are
taken
out,
so
I
went
through
each
chapter
and
removed
stuff
added
some
stuff
put
in
some
of
our
pictures
versus
other
people's
pictures,
and
it's
a
living
document
too.
So
you
know,
like
cindy,
wants
to
see
more
mosquitoes
in
there.
I
can
go
back
in
there
and
you
know
add
a
line
about
what
we
do
for
mosquito
control.
G
A
D
A
A
E
E
D
Cindy
I
can
do
that
easily.
I
can
tell
you
that
we
were
told
department.
Heads
were
told
this
year,
not
to
put
any
cip
projects
in
the
fye
22
budget
unless
it
was
classified
as
essential,
so
everything
that
we
had
planned
well,
actually,
what
had
been
planned
for
fye
21
was
kicked
back
to
fye
22
and
now
has
been
kicked
back
to
fye
23.
