Tribute to Scott Crenwelge
Scott Crenwelge has spent many hours, way beyond what his salary called for, to push through a project which will enhance the quality of life in Snyder for years to come.
The Park Project is a huge undertaking made even more time consuming and difficult to complete because of the red tape associated with the grant.
However, when finished this project will give new life to the park.
It should become a true center of community activity.
Many have contributed, but Scott most of all.
Burn out is understandable. One has to balance family and work.
Thanks Scott for your hard work.
Before a new person is hired, it might be time to look at how Scott’s job was structured.
He was head of both the coliseum and parks.
And he was understaffed.
Too many projects for too few people. Many times the coliseum staff worked overtime on the park.
It may be time to split these two jobs.
Both are important to the quality of life in Snyder.
Quality of life keeps people here and helps attract new ones.
Our parks need to be maintained.
Our coliseum needs promoting and upgrading.
Our goal should be to have the coliseum booked every weekend six months in advance.
With major events.
But we need adequate staffing and we need promotion.
And we need enough people to do the job.
Otherwise, burn out will occur.
The coliseum needs maintenance badly. For example, the folding chairs need to be replaced.
No, the coliseum will never be a money maker simply from the fees charged, but it can pump many thousands of dollars into the community from the outside.
And in this way will more than pay for itself.

Why did Scott quit suddenly, just a few months before completion of the project? Did he have trouble with the commssioners?
I to ,would like to know the reason behind Scott leaving the job.but in Snyder. alot of things remain a misstry like Charles Church being kicked off the Hospital board and why so many nurses have quit at codgell.I belive it will all come out sonner or later, thank you Scott for all your hard work, and I wish the best for you and your family
Why else have other people left suddenly around here lately? Jody Nelson ring a bell? Look a little deeper and see how "burnt out" he really was...
I heard that the coliseum is booked almost every weekend of the year. I think because most of the time it's for private parties, people might not realize it's being used. We should find out for sure.
Why would anyone have "trouble" with the commissioners? They are all fine upstanding people with the best intentions for our community. I don't always agree with what they do, but I can't help but think, if Scott had "trouble" with them, there was a good reason.
I thought Larry Thompson was over the coliseum. What is his title?
Thank you Scott for all of your hard work and service.
Must we go there?
One of the problems is that one of the commissioners essentially runs the court and if you cross her in any way she'll see that you are pressured out. But she does this in a way that no one realizes it's her.
