August 30th I posted an article about the fields at Cambria’s Elementary School. Tonight there will be a meeting for those interested in the issue, according to an email from Steve Kniffen.
To those who don’t know yet,It seems as if manna has fallen from heaven in regards to our fields at the grammar school.There is much hearsay, but this is what I know to be the gossip…it seems that the company that built our field system was sold in the recent past. The new owner decided to go check on some of the back projects that his new company had recently completed( and were using on the company web site as examples of his company’s work). Lo and behold: he stumbled on to Cambria. It seems he was none to happy, especially if you compare the web site picture with what it actually looks like.The gentleman’s name is Mark Rehbein and it seems as if he has said that he is going to “make it right.” What?!?! Did I hear that correctly…He is going to make it right? Nobody says that anymore. But it seems that’s what he has said. I’ve even heard that he has said more…but I won’t comment on that…that would be gossiping. But guess what, we can ask him ourselves, ya’ know why? Because he wants to meet with us, any of us, all of us, anyone who cares. I’d like the whole world there if they could…The meeting is at 7:00 pm on Wednesday,today, at the Grammar School multi-propose room.He says he can fix us and make us whole again. I’m excited, cautious, but excited. He thinks he can make us like his product and I for one can not wait to give him the chance to sell me on his solution.Why this guy has shown up now is of great curiosity to me, not important, but interesting none the less. Maybe the good Lord has you wander around the desert for a while to create character and teach lessons, then the Promise Land. Or maybe this new superintendent has the magic touch.What ever the reason, I’m so happy for this meeting I can barely control myself. If you find this interesting, please show up, and “no” I am not making the traditional community announcements with road signs to remind everyone, this electronic notice will serve as my invitation, but feel free to send it to whom ever you think might be interested in coming.Steve Kniffen

From the RESI website project case study on Cambria:
“RESI Solution:
RESI installed 130,000 sq. ft. of EPIC turf in six strategic areas across the 12 acre campus, creating an 85,000 sq. ft. community soccer field, as well as school athletic fields. The entire campus, including the fields, was designed to collect all available stormwater and hardscape runoff. Under the EPIC soccer field, large pipes store up to 2,000,000 gallons of water.”
I cannot attend the meeting this PM. But if I could be there, and
if we paid for the above, I would ask Mr. Mark Rehbein to provide what is described above. What glorious active recreation facilities we will have for the community.
I also want to know why did we not get this as described above and who in Cambria is responsible for the project management on this debacle? Let’s not have them manage anymore projects for Cambria. And while you are discussing all of this, can you ask him if he can fix the overlighting problem up there at night?
Airforce one could land in that parking lot it is so over lit.
so what happened at the meeting?
