In fact, the association that handles our games have problems recruiting and maintaining officials. I think the abuse they continue to take has alot to do with it.
In my earlier days, I worked as a youth counselor in two different institutions for the State of WI. One location was filled with "rookies" and the other had many veteran counselors. In the first location the "inmates ran the asylum" the second had a sense of order and much more habilitation occurred. I offer this analogy because it appears that your location suffers a similar dilemma and, sadly, it will continue to struggle until a core of veterans comes in and establishes a higher threshold. Best wishes with that.
