little less accusing of the rink attendant, acknowledging that his son was wrong in his actions but also stating that the rink attendant should not have shoved his son. Staff reported that the rink attendant would be advised to call the police in the occasion that such a similar incident occurs rather than dealing with the fighting people. The father did not like this idea, and was unable to come up with a suggestion for dealing with a fighting, verbally abusive and non -complying teenager. Friday, February 11, 1994: 4:00 p.m. Mr. LaHoud, Mites Coach with Lake Region Hockey Association came in and spoke with Tim Cruikshank to state that he thought the conditions of the ice at Lambert Park was bad. He accused the Parks Crew of being lazy and drinking coffee the entire day and stated the Parks and Recreation Director didn't give a "s " about skating rinks. He wanted a meeting to tell the department how to maintain the ice. Mr. LaHoud was insulting and accusing in his conversation with Tim Cruikshank. Monday, February 16, 1994 Staff received a telephone call from Mr. Hammond who called to inquire why Lambert Park building was not opened Monday or Tuesday evenings, February 14 and 15. His hockey team arrived at Lambert and because the building was not opened they moved to Hillview Park to practice. He was very kind in his inquiry and stated that he did not want to get the rink attendant in trouble because he had been very helpful during the season and that he had heard that there was a concert at Irondale HS and that a sub had been called in. Mr. Hammond was thanked for his call and stated that staff would look into the matter. Upon inquiry it was determined that Jacob had a concert and had called Mike Bloomquist to sub and that he did not show up either day. These are the only three complaints that were received by Department staff. Calls were received regarding the inquiry as to whether or not rinks were going to be closed on days that were extremely cold. These however were not complaints but rather requests for information.
