I'm not saying any thing new, when I say finally winter season could be over.It's time to change gears and think about our sports fields and parks and notabout plowing our parking lots, shoveling sidewalks, and where are we going

to put the next Snow-naumi? Break out thegrills, picnic tables, string lines and painters--the season has begun. It's time to put oureducation and skills to the test.

To recap what has been happening inMPSTMA, we had a great turnout for theSpring Workshop and the Board would like

to thank everyone who attended. I would like to personally like to thank thecommittee members that worked hard to put this event on. Our speakers DickEricson spoke about the good old days at “The Met.” Ben Boeding, newly-named CSFM, filled us in on taking the steps in obtaining certification; PatrickMcGuiness, Attorney, Minneapolis, gave a presentation on liability in or onour facilities; and we looked into bridging the generation gap with TimVanLoo of Iowa State University. The host site, University of Northwestern, isa wonderful facility.

We had some fantastic fall-off-the-bone ribs and some great conversa-tion at the networking picnic held at the newly renovated Northside Park inSt. Louis Park. Rick Beane and his crew put on a great picnic right down to theweather!

Enjoy the summer!

UM/MTGF Turf and Grounds Field DaySet August 7 at TROE Center in St. Paul

By SAMUEL J. BAUERTurfgrass Extension Educator

University of Minnesota

Greetings MPSTMA members, we are happy toannounce that the UM / MTGF Turf andGrounds Field Day will be brought backto the St. Paul campus this year.

Over the past two years, we have heldthis field day in a virtual format withthe production of short videosdetailing research projects con-ducted by faculty and staff here atthe University of Minnesota.

We couldn’t be more excited tobe offering the face-to-face field day again, and welook forward to many park supervisors and sportsturf managers joining us for this education and net-working opportunity.

Over the past 20 years, the MTGF has sup-ported numerous research projects at theUniversity of Minnesota. Additionally, we have beenvery successful at securing grants related to criticalissues in landscape management and sustainability.This funding makes it possible for us to research spe-cific issues that turf and grounds managers face on adaily basis.

Please join us on August 7 from 10 a.m. to 2p.m. on the St. Paul campus to see these researchprojects first hand. We will be offering two separatefocus areas, turfgrass research or landscape research.

Some exciting highlights of this year’s fieldday include:

4National Turfgrass Evaluation Trials and breed-ing of several turfgrass species

4Emerald Ash Borer and Dutch Elm Diseaseupdates

4Improving the winterhardiness of perennial rye-grass

4Evaluation of turf management products for dis-ease suppression, increased turf quality and stresstolerance

4Wetting agent influence on surface firmness andwinter injury of golf course putting greens

4Current insect and disease issues associated withhorticultural plants

4Using growing degree days to schedule trinexa-

pac-ethyl applications on creeping bent-grass putting greens: new knowledge

4Fine fescue species character-istics regarding divot recovery andresponse to traffic 4Fertilizer and turfgrass species

effects on microbial populations inthe soil

4Bee Lawns: new speciesoptions for lawns to improve pol-linator habitat

4Pesticide runoff from golf course fairways 4Turfgrass species drought evaluationsThese are just a few of the projects that will be pre-

sented this year. (See registration form on Page 11)

Author’s Note: In the last 10 years Ihave been called to countless athletic fieldsto lend advice to the athletic field manager,school custodian or the school board mem-ber who wanted a “better” field for theyoung athletes in their district. The similaradvice I was giving made me realize that many who areresponsible for fields were forgetting the basic steps toproper field management. This serves as refresher of thebasic practices.

STEP 1 - Soil Testing

Soil testing is the first step in any field facelift. Withouta soil test you have no idea what the soil needs and thus,what the turf plant needs to thrive. I like to compare soiltesting to a human blood pressure. Medical professionalscan tell a lot about our health by taking our blood pressure.

Turf professionals can tell a lot about thesoil’s health by conducting a simple soiltest. This test will give you the soil pH andnutrient levels present in the sample.

To conduct a soil test: Take 20-32 coresamples from all areas of the field. Mix

them together and allow them to dry. Send this representa-tive sample to a certified laboratory. Check with your localCounty Extension Office for a list of laboratories in yourstate that can perform this test. Cost will range from six to$20, but the cost of this test will pay for itself many timesover in the amount you save on lime and fertilizer expens-es.

STEP 2 - Lime and Fertilizer

Dollar-for-dollar fertilization does more to improve poorquality turfgrass than any other single management prac-tice. Proper fertilization practices will produce a dense,medium-to-dark green turf that resists pests and environ-mental stresses. However, careless application techniquesand/or applying excessive amounts of fertilizer at thewrong time of the year on your field can result in seriousturf damage and contamination of water resources.

Successful fertilization for turfgrassfields requires:• an assessment of the nutritional requirements of your

turfgrass.• an understanding of fertilizers.• how much and when fertilizers should be applied .• proper application techniques.1

STEP 3 - Mowing

Whether you are mowing your field with a reel type orrotary type mower, you need to make sure that the blade isalways sharp. Mowing frequency depends upon the rate ofgrowth. You should never remove more that one-third ofthe green growth in one mowing. If you want to maintain aheight of two inches, you should mow when the plantreaches 3 inches. Clippings do not need to be removedfrom the field as long as you maintain a regular mowingschedule.

STEP 4 - Aeration

Aeration is the process of disturbing the soil torelieve compaction. Compacted soil does not allow for

8 Steps to an Easy Field FaceliftBy JEFFREY T. FOWLER

Pennsylvania State UniversityCooperative Extension

8 Steps to an Easy Field Facelift-(Continued from Page 6)

proper air, water, and nutrient penetration and makes itdifficult for proper plant root growth. Core removal shouldbe performed at least two times a year when the plants areactively growing. There are many different aeration meth-ods that can be used during the playing season that willnot disrupt play.

STEP 5 - Topdressing

Topdressing is the addition of sand or soil to the surfaceof the turfgrass.

Topdressing gives the sports turf manager a chance to:• improve the soil quality.• improve the seedbed for new plants, and rooting of

both new and existing plants.• level the playing surface of a field.The material used during topdressing should be chemi-

cally and physically very similar to the existing soil on thefield unless the intent is to modify the soil texture.

STEP 6 - Overseeding

Overseeding into thin turf or small patches of bare soilcan be done in late winter, spring or early fall. When over-seeding, it is especially important that the seed comes incontact with the soil and has space to germinate. Perennialryegrass overseeded at the rate of 8-10 pounds/1,000 sq.ft. serves very well. Perennial ryegrass is a quick germinat-ing variety that can tolerate enough wear to be effective ona field.

STEP 7 - Playing Surface

I have been asked may times at different athletic fieldmaintenance seminars if I would do a quick demonstrationon “puddle repair.” My answer has always been the same,“NO.” We can not fix puddles; we fix low spots in our play-ing surface by constantly working the area around it in alldirections to maintain a playing surface that will not formlow spots.

STEP 8 - Transition Areas

The appearance of the transition areas can make yourfield look like a million bucks or a million ducks, depend-ing on the care.

These areas include:• where the grass meets the track.• where players run on and off of the field.• where the athletes always walk to and from the prac-

tice field.Attention to these areas can really make or break the

appearance, safety and playability of a field. We need tocontinually work to keep these areas from forming lips,dips and safety hazards on our fields.

STEP 9 - Communication

Wait, the title of this article is “8 Steps to an Easy FieldFace Lift,” not nine steps. But, I realized that this articlereally wasn’t complete until I added this last step. Even ifyou know everything there is to know about the first eightsteps of a field facelift, no one will understand them if youdo not follow Step 9. You must let the people around you—your boss, supervisors, coaches, players, volunteer parentsand school administrators—know what you know. Not onlywhat is needed for a safer and more playable field, but alsowhy it is needed. Your job as sports turf managers is tomaintain athletic fields; their job is to do something else.You need to communicate your needs and your reasons forthose needs so that they better understand the importanceof the first eight steps.

If you adopt these nine steps and formulate a game planfor your athletic fields, you will have spectators saying,“How did they do that?”

The STMA PlayingCondition Index (PCI) is atool for the Sports TurfManager to use to assessthe current playing condi-tions of an athletic field ata given point in time.

In 2004, the STMAboard hired Ackerman PRout of Nashville, Tenn. topropose ways which the association might increase its visi-bility and market the on-field expertise of the Sports TurfManager. At that time, they designed the current STMAlogo and developed new image materials for the associa-tion. Another idea Ackerman had was to create a metricthat could be used on athletic fields, similar to the sloperating of a golf course, to assess that field’s playability.

The STMA board put together a group of experts tobegin evaluating such a program, and after receiving verypositive feedback, the board created the STMA PCI Task

Force. Ackerman is stillinvolved with the projectand STMA.

The STMA PCI TaskForce, comprised of sixwell-respected Sports TurfManagers from around thecountry, went throughnumerous draft editions ofthe STMA PCI before com-

ing up with an instrument that they believed would servethe membership well. This instrument was then sent out toa focus group spanning all STMA membership segmentsand from all geographic regions of the country. After mak-ing some adjustments, the PCI Task Group came up withthe STMA PCI Worksheet Pilot that is currently in use.

How do I use the PCI on my field?The STMA PCI is currently in a worksheet form that

allows the Sports Turf Manager to allot points for eachquestion and then total the points, giving the STMA PCIfor that field at that time.

There are detailed instructions on the cover sheet of theSTMA PCI to help guide you through the process. If youhave any questions while filling out the STMA PCI, pleasecontact STMA at 800.323.3875 or [email protected].

Why should I use the PCI on my field?STMA members who have already used the STMA PCI

in its formative stages, either those in the Task Group orthose in the Focus Group, stated several reasons that theSTMA PCI would be a useful tool to them in their currentsituation. Those reasons ranged from “will allow me to goto my administration to justify additional resources,” to “atool for my media relations department,” to “it will helpme to communicate with all the constituent groupsinvolved in my field: parents, coaches, players, administra-tors, etc.”

What can you do to contribute?Use the PCI!!! STMA Members can find the STMA PCI

on the Members Only side of www.STMA.org. They canprint it out there, fill it out, and provide feedback [email protected] or fax their results to 800.366.0391 or785.843.2977. Members may also request a copy of theSTMA PCI by sending an email to [email protected]. STMAasks that every time the STMA PCI is used by a member,the results and feedback be provided to STMA so that theassociation may aggregate the results.

(Editor’s Note: The STMA PCI worksheet is available atwww.mpstma.org or by contacting the MPSTMA office at952-473-3722.)

Does your business have a job application that peoplemust fill out in order to be considered for employmentwith your business? If you do, when was the last time youreviewed it to make sure it was legally compliant. Thereare often changes to the law which affect what can be onjob applications. Often, application templates from officestores, or downloaded off the internet are not legally com-pliant. One recent change to what can be asked onMinnesota job applications takes effect on January 1st,2014.

Under legislation dubbed ‘ban the box’, MinnesotaStatute 364.021, employers are now prohibited fromrequiring applicants to disclose their criminal history.Additionally, employers are prohibited from asking about,or considering an applicant’s criminal history until afterthe employer has selected the applicant for an interview, ormade a conditional job offer. The use of criminal back-ground checks before an interview or job offer is also pro-hibited.

These amendments to the statute are designed to helpthose people with a criminal history of any kind from beingdiscriminated against at the outset while job hunting.People with a criminal history are more likely to bescreened out of a hiring process and position that they may

otherwise be qualified for. These changes aim to cure thatissue and help those with a criminal history rehabilitatethemselves by becoming productive members of society, orby simply allowing them to overcome a one-time mistake.

Once the law takes effect, employers will first be given awritten warning if they are caught in violation of thestatute. Eventually, the Minnesota Commissioner ofHuman Rights will be able to impose fines of up to $500for additional violations. Thankfully for business owners,the law does not allow individual job applicants to sue anemployer for violating the statute.

However, as with most laws, there are some exceptionsto this law. Businesses and employers that are required toconduct background checks by law are exempt from thenew requirements. Additionally, the law does not prohibitemployers from making any job offers conditional on abackground check. It also doesn’t prevent business ownersfrom stating that the job will require passing a backgroundcheck at some phase of the application process.

Take the time to review your job application to be sure itis compliant with the amended statute. It may also be agood time to check for other job application complianceissues too.

A qualified attorney must analyze all rele-vant facts and apply the applicable law to any matterbefore legal advice can be given.
