A roar of applause filled the Jim Thorpe Area High School at Wednesday night’s school board meeting as the school board voted 6-3 in favor of installing a new artificial turf field at Jim Thorpe’s Olympian Stadium.
“It’s been a long time coming,” said board member TJ Garritano, chairman of the athletic committee. “As many area residents know, our field is constantly bogged down with water with poor draining. It limits our athletes from playing on the field.”
Poor drainage of the field has been a problem for many years. In fact, the field was deemed entirely unplayable in both 2009 and 2011.
“Essentially we have around 72 events that need to be played on the athletic field,” Garritano said. “Our current situation, we only have nine of those events on he field. The remaining events are scattered around the district, or we move them to away games.”
Two corporate sponsors are in the mix to significantly help with the cost. The board will choose a package from either St. Luke’s or Lehigh Valley Health Network, which includes more than just money for the turf. However, Garritano said the time to act is now, as the corporate sponsorship of over $500,000 is not guaranteed to be available in the future.

After being in relationship with my husband for years, he broke up with me. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged Dr Gbojie, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before three days. He cast the spell and surprisingly on the second day, my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. The spell casters email is gbojiespiritualtemple@gmail.com .
