This month’s program is “Qualities in a Coach that Motivates” YES is a Parks & Recreation Board program that promotes good sportsmanship on the part of the players, parents and coaches. The goal is to make recreation sports a fun and rewarding experience for all involved. This is achieved by setting codes of conduct, training, and participation rules. The YES principles have been formally woven into all sports organization bylaws. The cover also illustrates the Community Television department of the Township. The Township funds local access cable programs through the cable TV franchise fee. The studio has been in the High School and for many years. The Township and School District have had a rewarding partnership that has provided opportunities for students to learn technical and artistic aspects of producing television programs. The district provides the space and the Township developed the studio and provides staffing through our Public Access Director and our Volunteer and Production Coordinator. The Cable Television department has been a key component of the Township’s goal of transparency by airing Council and Planning Commission meetings, as well as other special municipal meetings. The cable department also works with other departments to promote events such as Concerts in the Park and the Police VOID program. The message board promotes all Township meetings, and announcements. The Township is proud of the services it provides both in Community Access TV and Parks and Recreation. We believe those programs are some of best in the region.
