Tenafly Little League president John Preolo said the league had to require fingerprinting this year because of a much-needed grant.

“To get the grant there is certain criteria that had to be met. One of them is the fingerprinting process. If the town didn’t agree to get coaches and volunteers fingerprinted, I don’t think we would have gotten the money,” Preolo said.

Prompted by Carl Findlay's comments in the article, I searched "David Hartshorn". What I found is heartbreaking:

Queens and Tenafly are 22 miles apart.
