Parenting Dilemma - Charming and I don't agree....
I would like to read others take on this situationa as it reallys seems me vs him regarding this issue.
Our DD, 10 used to play softball on a rec team and a travel team. Her travel team disbanded and she took off the fall ball season. Tryouts for spring are this week. DH wants her to play, I don't. Her thoughts - she could really take it or leave it. Not once during the fall did she ask about playing, ask to practice, etc. I think she is telling us both different answers based on what she thinks we want to hear. She is afraid to disappoint her dad and afraid I will get mad if her grades slip - which I would. My Dh says I am "maniuplating" the situation....
She also is not one who gives 110%, doesn't really care for the warm up runs, etc. You see other kids giving their all and she plays and almost seems to be there to chat up her buddies.
Dh says if she doesn't play this spring, it's over (her softball career)??!!
Why don't I want her to play - well, it isn't just her that is being committed to the team, it is me as well. There is a weeknight practice/game and a Saturday practice/game. We have 2 other children ages 7 and 1. My Dh is a retail manager - so his schedule does not allow him to do much of the carting of the children so to speak.
Dh goes in before 6am, which means I have to get all the kids to school, at 8, meaning I can't leave work all that early to do all the pick ups and drop offs in different places. He gets off anywhere from 4:30 - 6 or so depending on what is going on. He works on Saturdays as well.
The weeknight game is only an issue with me as far as the time goes, we wouldn't get home until 9pm and that is just too late for the baby and when she was playing before it was a constant fight to get her to finish her homework on those nights. The field is on the other side of town and takes a good 30 min to get to from our house. During the last season, DH usually handled the weeknight game and I wouldn't even go out to the field. The only time I would go is when Dh had a game the same night and I'd have to go pick her up. Of course she would always throw in, "how come you never come to my games..."
Now, here come Saturday's.....they want you there for an hour prior to the game, the games last an hour and a half and then 30 min to get home.....that's a huge chunk of the day for me and my other to children to have to commit too. Trying to keep a 1 year old entertained that long in a stroller? I've tried coming home in between but it seemed too rushed. There is nothing really in the area for us to "go do" aside from shopping. Plus the wonderful consession duty, which would fall to me too.
Dh offered to take HIS VACATION time to take Saturday's off, which I am like - wow, you'd give up vacation time that we take as a family together to spend time with one child on an extra curricular activity?
If I felt she really loved it, had a passion for it, etc, then I would suck it up and do it, but I don't feel that she does. I also don't think it is fair for my other 2 kids to have sit at the ball park for hours. My other dd constantly mentioned during the last season why her sister got to do an activity and she didn't - but that is another conversation. Also another conversation, but this is a child who does nothing arund the house to help out, etc. I feel that an extra curricular activity should be treated kind of like a reward.
How do you handle things on which you don't agree?

I would not try to sway her and or give off the vibe that it is an inconvenience to you though. Let her be open and honest.

I'm not married so I can't answer to that part of it but I say let her sit out the season. Maybe she will say she misses it. That will be your hint to sign her up for the following season. She's only 10, she's got tons of time to rejoin if she wants to next season.
Would love to be able to sit on the couch for a few days, get a good book, and do NOTHING!

I know some people are "super" people, but I could not handle it and it's not fair to your kids. One parent needs to be home with the other kids while all that is going on. Add to that, your daughter doesn't seem all that enthused??? No brainer to me.
And, to be honest, how long do you think that "I'm in retail but I want all these Saturdays off" is going to fly? You'll be stuck doing that too.

I agree with your husband. If she sits out she will be behind. There is a lot of scholarship money that goes to athletes. My daughter is 5 and is being conditioned to be a competitive gymnast. She loves it and as I speak we are at the gym. When she doesn't want to come we still push it because she can't stop now and then decide she likes it later. The more you push the better.

Just a thought to give to your DH:
Travel teams (around here at least) are for serious players. If your DD is not a serious player (hasn't practiced in a while or really cares if she plays) she may end up really hating it because the kids who are really good take up most of the playing time. Does he really want to pay x amount of money, plus waste your time and the coach's time to have her sit on the bench and be miserable?
One thing I do agree with is that she needs to make a choice. Once the kids drop out of a sport, it is very difficult to get back into it because the kids the same age will have more experience and better skills when you come back and you run the risk of getting cut at tryouts. If you live in a small town it may not matter, but if you live where sports are very competitive like we do, yes she would be "washed up".
Travel teams take up a lot of time and only get worse as they get older. My DD plays on 2 different travel teams (basketball and lax) and I am in hotel rooms at least 3 weekends a month from March-July.

As I see it DD has the decision. If she really doesn't want to play its not fair to the other team members. She can go to a game and chat and cheer when its good for you. You always wonder is the parent pushing the kid to play reliving their 'glory' days. I have 4 boys and understand the time challenges. We have a 1 sport per season rule. We also never force them to do any specific sport but if they join a team they have to honor their commitment and finish the season. They have mixed up their sports and have discovered sports that they really like and excel at (archery - who would have thought ). While its nice for a child to play a sport its not nice if the child is only playing for Dad. And especially if Dad isn't the one shouldering the burden of practices and games. As for vacations that is for the family . A time to relax and spend time with each other not at one kids boring (in the other kids eyes) games. JMHO

Yes, I agree that she'd lose a year of skill that others will have, but if she's serious about the sport, she'd gain it back anyway. (or you could do extra batting practices or training sessions.)
I don't think that you're right and he is wrong. However, I do think that if she isn't interested in the sport, it's ridiculous to make the time and money commitment. I also think that it is unfair to the kids on the team who love the game. Nevermind, unfair to your family.
Maybe sit down (all three of you) and ask her why she enjoys playing travel...
it sounds like she should just be playing rec.

She is prob picking up vibe that you don't want her to do it.
Are you able to car pool and share duties with another family?
She is 5 and you are thinking ahead to level 10? Where is she now?

Notjoking at all. I have older children who aren't in sports but my daughter has natural ability and we are pushing it. As far as money for athletes we have several friends whose children are in college on athletic scholarships. My moms best friends daughter is a physical therapist. Her school was paid for with softball. Another friends daughter is pre pharmacy on a softball scholarship. She pays 1,000 per year plus books. That is huge!

First order of business for me would be to chat it up with my dd about playing ball. If she wanted to play I would suck it up.
Now I am not into kids sports but isn't a "rec team" just a recreational team for "fun"? Or do "pay teams" recruit there?
Do you know why your dh is so adamant about her playing on THIS rec team right now? I guess ask him his "vision" end goal for the dd with joining this rec team.
Bottom line, I better hear some darn good arguments in order to convince me that this is the direction I am willing to take. Then we negotiate.

so few gymnasts ever make college level - do you know the amount of gymnasts that burn out (how many hours are you at the gym right now?), get repetitive stress injuries, or get too tall? It is probably the highest burnout sport out there.
She is 5! And you are thinking college scholarship? bwah.
You would be better served taking the monthly cost of competitive gymnastics ($200-$300/month at lower levels), uniform costs ($100-$500/year depending on leotards, warmups, etc.), meet fees ($75-$100/meet), private lessons ($40-70/hour), travel costs for the family for 5-8 meets/year (hotel, car, flights, meals), coaches fees for meets (fundraising or paying directly for it), summer camps, etc. (these are the lower levels - beginning competitive gymnastics)
Take that money, save it, and trust me, her education is paid for and she doesn't have a blown out knee, a torn up ankle, an eating disorder, or shoulder problems to go with it.
To the OP:
good luck. It is a tough call when you have decisions like this to make. I think the three of you need to sit down together, but as the parent who does 90% of all driving... I get why you aren't convinced.

I think this requires TWO meetings...
1) Between you & DH. You both know the others' viewpoints. The key here is to agree to abide by DD's decision.
2) All three of you. You & DH tell DD you don't want to make her do something she doesn't want to do, but you want to support her if she DOES want to do something. She's played rec before and she's played travel. She knows the commitment difference between the two. She's also had a season off. Does SHE want to play (rec or travel)? Emphasize neither of you will be upset or disappointed whichever she chooses (I hope that's the case). Part of growing up is making these kinds of decisions. Make sure she understands the three options and tell her you need to know in 'x' days (I would say no more than 2). When she tells you what her decision is (either way), accept it.
My oldest played rec soccer for 2 years, got tired of running, and moved to softball. She played rec for 2 years than did travel. She got burned out/discouraged with travel and at the end of the season decided she didn't want to play any more. As the "sport" dad, although I enjoyed seeing her play, I could tell as the season went on her heart wasn't in it. It sounds like your daughter... she liked being a part of the "team", but didn't want to put in the work required.
Now she's going to try being a manager for her school track team. Nothing wrong with that. *I* got a partial college scholarship for two years for being a manager.

Product description
With over 1,000 colourful images, Robert Opie brings to life the 1920s and captures the mood of this radical decade in Great Britain. The Twenties were a time for change and invention. The arrival of the wireless provided a new form of entertainment and "The Radio Times" was launched in 1923. The popularity of the cinema continued and was changed forever with the coming of 'talkies' and "The Jazz Singer" in 1926. While there were many notable events, from the Tutankhaman discoveries to the Empire exhibition at Wembley, unemployment and workers' discontent pervaded everyday life, culminating in the General Strike of 1926. For children, however, fun and amusement could be found with new cartoon characters: the antics of Felix the Cat at the pictures, tales of Pooh Bear in A.A. Milne's book "Winnie-the-Pooh" and, in newspapers, Bonzo the Dog ("Daily Sketch"), Rupert the Bear ("Daily Express"), Teddy Tail ("Daily Mail") and Pip, Squeak and Wilfred ("Daily Mirror"). Apart from women daring to smoke (especially Turkish cigarettes), the young flappers found freedom in the rising hemlines that revealed their legs and enabled the new energetic dances such as the Charleston and Black Bottom. It was an experimental age for hairstyles, perming, crimping, bobbing. No wonder that this decade became known as the 'Roaring Twenties'.

Hye Sam,
I am writing in responds to my family request to put some effort on finding the genealogy of my late grandfather Cecil William Gordon Pereira who have settle down in Sabah (Borneo, Malaysia) ever since as early at 1930 - 1940 if i'm not mistaken. The only story shared from my father is he is the youngest from 9 siblings by far 8 of them are women. so i come across the words from your mother regarding the sisters and i think there is something we can look further into this.

TOKYO — Police officials estimate that the toll from Japan's massive March 11 earthquake and tsunami will exceed 18,000 deaths.
One of the hardest-hit prefectures, Miyagi, estimates deaths will top 15,000 in that region alone, police spokesman Hitoshi Sugawara said.
Police in other devastated areas declined to estimate eventual tolls but said the confirmed deaths in their areas already are near 3,400.
The National Police Agency said the overall number of bodies collected so far stood at 8,649, while 12,877 people have been listed as missing. It is possible those two lists overlap, and that some unidentified bodies in the tally of deaths may match names on the missing list once their identities are confirmed.
An eventual death toll also is complicated because the tsunami likely swept many bodies out to sea.
The northeast coast of Honshu, Japan's largest island, is the scene of historic devastation, with more than 300,000 people living in shelters, a million homes without water, more than 14,000 buildings destroyed and 100,000-plus damaged.
2 rescued alive
9 days after quake
BEIJING — An 80-year-old woman and her 16-year-old grandson were rescued Sunday after being buried under rubble for nine days after the March 11 earthquake and massive tsunami toppled their home.
The two were trapped in their kitchen after the magnitude 9 temblor struck. They survived by wrapping themselves in towels, eating yogurt and drinking water, milk and Coke, Japanese news reports said.
Sumi Abe had been unable to free herself after her legs were wedged under the refrigerator. Eventually, her grandson, Jin Abe, dug his way out of the debris onto the roof of the home, where he was able to alert rescuers.
Public broadcaster NHK showed images of a woman with glasses and curly gray hair wrapped in a blanket and surrounded by rescuers. Sumi Abe was able to say her name and to tell rescuers she was unhurt.
Jin Abe suffered hypothermia and told doctors he had almost no feeling in his left leg.
The two were found in Ishinomaki in Miyagi prefecture, a city ravaged by last week's tsunami.
The chance of survival so long after such a two-prong disaster is considered minuscule.
Boeing assessing
supply lines
Boeing's major Japanese partners survived the March 11 quake without significant damage, but the company is still assessing how suppliers will cope with transportation and energy problems, a senior executive said Sunday.
"The first look was, no major structural damage to our major suppliers. That was a big relief," said Vice President Pat Shanahan, who is in charge of all airplane programs.
But he said it's harder to learn how the sub-tier suppliers in Japan are doing and also how the infrastructure damage in Japan will affect transportation logistics.
Speaking at Boeing Field after the first flight of the new 747-8 Intercontinental jumbo jet, Shanahan said the regular rolling power cuts after the quake were an early concern.
"What you don't know is how does the internal infrastructure — (shortages of) gas and basic necessities — play into this," Shanahan said.
The big Japanese manufacturers — especially Mitsubishi, Fuji and Kawasaki — are major suppliers of parts for all Boeing jets but particularly to the 787 Dreamliner, 777 and 767 programs.
Boeing's Japanese airline customers have some near-term airplane deliveries coming up. Shanahan said Boeing is assessing if it can send "any type of relief or emergency supplies on those delivery flights."
U.S. reactors: U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, appearing on Fox News on Sunday, said that although U.S. nuclear plants are decades old, they have had numerous safety upgrades in recent years. But he said all the plants will be re-examined in the wake of the Japan crisis, including the future of the controversial Indian Point reactor north of New York City, within 50 miles of more than 20 million people.
Protest in Tokyo: The crisis has galvanized Japan's anti-nuclear groups, and an estimated 1,000 people rallied near the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo's Yoyogi Park on Sunday, then marched into the heart of the Shibuya shopping district, chanting: "Stop all nuclear power!"

My wife is alive today because she wore her seat belt. My brand new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 was hit by a Ford Crown Victoria police cruiser after the officer ran a red light at about twice the speed limit on the street. Neither one saw the other until a split second before the impact (blind intersection, high rate of speed of the police cruiser, dark night, and my truck was black). The combination of the airbags and seat belts permitted both my wife and the officer who hit her to WALK away from the accident. The officer was unable to get my wife out of the truck after he exited his vehicle, but the fire department cut my wife out of the vehicle. The seat belt released without incident, but the doors could not be opened. Both parties had cuts and bruises from the seat belts and airbags, but no broken bones, massive internal injuries, or head injuries.
I would have expected her to be hit by a drunk driver, speeder, or someone using a cell phone in their car, but never a law enforcement officer. The incident just goes to show you that you never know when or where an accident will happen or under what circumstances it is likely to occur.
I have pictures of the truck if anyone wants to see them. My wife still has the scars on her neck and arms from the seat belt and airbags. It's a little reminder that no matter how careful you are, bad things can still happen.
I do not doubt the effectiveness of seat belts I wear them everyone in my family wears them my mom is alive because of them. No matter what we will wear them. That being said if you are a legal adult you should be able to do what you want as long as it doesn't effect anyone else's rights it is not the governments place to legislate common sense or personal safety.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
Seatbelts have probably killed a few thousand people since their invention. But, they've saved easily hundreds of times more people than they've killed.
I would like to look up the stats to get exact numbers, but it goes something like this...
Without a seatbelt, your most likely to be killed.
With a seatbelt, you're less likely to be killed.
With a belt and bags, you have the highest chances of survival, even though bags have killed people due to malfunction too.
Seatbelt and bag malfunctions are the LEAST likely thing to kill you in a crash.
Wanna take your chances without, or take your chances with?
I'll take my chances with, thank you very much. They're way more likely to save your life than to take it, but if they're not used, your way, WAY more likely to die arbitrarily.
Should any there be any law on it? Hell no. Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and free trade (because insurance companies will be involved somehow)
I believe from what I have seen, that the odds are in favor of those who wear their seat belts. I have seen deaths as a result of wearing them and deaths due to not wearing them. I had one of my best friends who did not wear them was thrown out of the window of his car and the car landed on him upside down in a ditch. He died from suffocation with no internal injuries or broken bones. So there are views both ways! However if gambling, I will go with wearing them and also with the new air bags your odds are much better. I sometimes think that when the Big Man calls your number, it is your time regardless of whatever you do! Or maybe we make an unknown choice not realizing it is our time?
The Constitution is not an instrument for the Government to restrain the people. It is an instrument for the people to restrain the Government!
*Patrick Henry
Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom."
-- John F. Kennedy
I wear mine after a nice interaction with a Kentucky state trooper.
Oh dern....
Revelation 19:11
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Back in '89 l hit a ditch in my S-10, no air bag and I wasn't wearing a seatbelt. Many chest hit the steering wheel and broke it and my knee hit the dash board and dislocated my hip. The hip was my only injury and some have said, " If you would of been wearing your seat belt you hip wouldn't of been hurt." I always give the same response, "Yeah maybe so, but without would of happened when my head snapped back and drove the the back of my skull thru the back glad?" Truck didn't have a head test either. I believe if you want to wear your seat belt then good for you, but I don't wear mince and that shouldn't be anyone's business but mine.

Whales: Giants of the Deep Exhibition Opens at American Museum of Natural History, March 23
Whales: Giants of the Deep will "transport visitors to the vibrant underwater world of the mightiest animals on Earth. The exhibition explores the latest research about these marine mammals as well as the central role they have played for thousands of years in human cultures. From the traditions of New Zealand's Maori whale riders and the Kwakwaka'wakw peoples of the Pacific Northwest to the international whaling industry and the rise of laws protecting whales from commercial hunting, the exhibition traces the close connections between humans and whales."
Through a variety of interactive exhibits, visitors will experience a re-created dive to the depths of the sea with a sperm whale on the hunt for a giant squid, crawl through a life-size replica of the heart of the blue whale-the largest living animal on the planet-listen to whale croons, and meet people whose lives have been inextricably linked with whales-from legendary whale riders to scientists and former whaling families.
Whales: Giants of the Deep is developed and presented by the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. This exhibition was made possible through the support of the New Zealand Government. The Museum gratefully acknowledges the Richard and Karen LeFrak Exhibition and Education Fund. Generous support for Whales has been provided by the Eileen P. Bernard Exhibition Fund.
ADMISSION: Admission to the exhibition is $25 for adults, $14.50 for children, and $19 for seniors and students. For tickets, the public should call 212-769-5200 or visit www.amnh.org.

Basket case: Saga of a supermarket
These are not workers demanding more money or higher benefits or union representation. They are not making a political statement or conducting an exercise in class warfare. These are blue collar employees picketing in support of an ousted CEO — because they love him.
The reason seems to be that Arthur T. Demoulas spent his career treating his employees with dignity and respect, like trusted colleagues. Under his leadership, everyone was encouraged to rise to their potential. They were compensated well and trusted with responsibility. Everyone was trained to work as a team.

The Homesman (R)
Runtime: 2:02
Opens Friday, December 5
When three women living on the edge of the American frontier are driven mad by harsh pioneer life, the task of saving them falls to the pious, independent-minded Mary Bee Cuddy. Transporting the women by covered wagon to Iowa, she soon realizes just how daunting the journey will be, and employs a low-life drifter, George Briggs, to join her. The unlikely pair and the three women head east, where a waiting minister and his wife (Meryl Streep) have offered to take the women in. But the group first must traverse the harsh Nebraska Territories marked by stark beauty, psychological peril and constant threat. Based on the novel by Glendon Swarthout.
Starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Hilary Swank, Meryl Streep, Hailee Steinfeld, Grace Gummer, Miranda Otto, Sonja Richter
Directed by: Tommy Lee Jones

Wild (R)
Runtime: 1:55
Opens Friday, December 19
In WILD, director Jean-Marc Vallee (Dallas Buyers Club), Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line) and Academy Award nominated screenwriter Nick Hornby (An Education) bring bestselling author Cheryl Strayed's extraordinary adventure to the screen. After years of reckless behavior, a heroin addiction and the destruction of her marriage, Strayed makes a rash decision. Haunted by memories of her mother Bobbi and with absolutely no experience, she sets out to hike more than a thousand miles on the Pacific Crest Trail all on her own. WILD powerfully reveals her terrors and pleasures --as she forges ahead on a journey that maddens, strengthens, and ultimately heals her.
Starring: Reese Witherspoon, Gaby Hoffmann, Laura Dern
Directed by: Jean-Marc Vallée

Foxcatcher (R)
Runtime: 2:10
Opens Friday, December 19
Based on true events, FOXCATCHER tells the dark and fascinating story of the unlikely and ultimately tragic relationship between an eccentric multi-millionaire and two champion wrestlers.
FOXCATCHER tells the story of Olympic Gold Medal-winning wrestler Mark Schultz (Tatum), who sees a way out from the shadow of his more celebrated wrestling brother Dave (Ruffalo) and a life of poverty when he is summoned by eccentric multi-millionaire John du Pont (Carell) to move onto his estate and train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Desperate to gain the respect of his disapproving mother, du Pont begins "coaching" a world-class athletic team and, in the process, lures Mark into dangerous habits, breaks his confidence and drives him into a self-destructive spiral. Based on actual events, FOXCATCHER is a gripping and profoundly American story of fragile men who pinned their hopes for love and redemption on a desperate obsession for greatness that was to end in tragedy.
Starring: Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo, Vanessa Redgrave, Sienna Miller, Anthony Michael Hall
Directed by: Bennett Miller
Visit the film's website here.
The Imitation Game (PG-13)
Runtime: 1:54
Opens Thursday, December 25
In THE IMITATION GAME, Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Alan Turing, the genius British mathematician, logician, cryptologist and computer scientist who led the charge to crack the German Enigma Code that helped the Allies win WWII. Turing went on to assist with the development of computers at the University of Manchester after the war, but was prosecuted by the UK government in 1952 for homosexual acts which the country deemed illegal.
The Awful Truth (UR)
Runtime: 1:30
Leo McCarey directed this classic screwball comedy in which Cary Grant and Irene Dunne play Jerry and Lucy Warriner, a couple whose marriage is starting to fall apart. Jerry informs Lucy that he's taking a vacation alone in Florida; instead, he holes up with his buddies and plays poker for a week (while sitting under a sun lamp so he'll have an appropriate tan). Lucy concludes that Jerry was never in Florida just as Jerry discovers that Lucy was spending her time with Armand Duvalle (Alex D'Arcy), a handsome voice teacher. Both Jerry and Lucy believe the other was unfaithful, so they agree to a trial divorce, with a bitter battle fought over custody of Mr. Smith, the dog (Lucy gets the dog, but Jerry has visitation rights). Determined to make Jerry jealous, Lucy continues keeping company with Armand while also dating Daniel Leeson (Ralph Bellamy), a wealthy oil man from Oklahoma. Convinced that turnabout is fair play, Jerry starts going out with Dixie Belle Lee (Joyce Compton), a brassy nightclub singer, as well as socialite Barbara Vance (Molly Lamont). However, Lucy has belatedly decided that she wants Jerry back, and she hatches a plan to win him back by making a spectacle of herself at a party. The Awful Truth was based on a play which had been filmed twice before, but McCarey gave his superb comic cast free reign to improvise and add new business, and the results were splendid; you haven't lived until you've heard Irene Dunne attempt to sing "Home on the Range."
Mr. Turner (R)
Runtime: 2:29
Opens Friday, February 13, 2015
This film explores the last quarter century of the great if eccentric British painter J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851). Profoundly affected by the death of his father, loved by a housekeeper he takes for granted and occasionally exploits sexually, he forms a close relationship with a seaside landlady with whom he eventually lives incognito in Chelsea, where he dies. Throughout this, he travels, paints, stays with the country aristocracy, visits brothels, is a popular if anarchic member of the Royal Academy of Arts, has himself strapped to the mast of a ship so that he can paint a snowstorm, and is both celebrated and reviled by the public and by royalty.
Starring: Timothy Spall, Dorothy Atkinson, Marion Bailey, Paul Jesson, Lesley Manville, Martin Savage, Joshua McGuire, Ruth Sheen, David Horovitch, Karl Johnson
Written and Directed by: Mike Leigh

Candidates unveil their platforms
Date: February 13, 2013
by: Kurt Schultheis | Managing Editor
Mayor Jim Brown
"I like to think I know what's going on on the Key and would like to think I have served you well."
"I don't think I have broken any laws and have acted completely within the guidelines of the town. A lot of good work has been done."
"If a cell tower is the only option available to improve service, I would have to say we have to build one. But, I think there are other options. We have to provide service for people all over the Key."
Larry Grossman
"I'm running on good government for a change. Voters deserve a more responsible government that serves their interests and not special interests. I stand for bold leadership."
"It's a bad situation when you are not enforcing codes. We need a better maintenance code, and we need the staff to enforce it. The island is going downhill."
"If a cellular tower is the only way, I would say no way. I make calls all over this Key and don't have a problem. We make policy based on reality, and reality is other technology will come along that would make that technology obsolete."
Terry Gans
"We can renew, we can revitalize, we can plan for tomorrow. I stand with accomplishment, progress and unity, and I stand with you. Longboat Key is reaching a tipping point. I take pride in my service and it's a privilege serving on this commission."
"The fire contract hasn't been ratified yet, but it gives us predictability going forward. I'm hopeful to get the same type of agreement in place with police and general employees."
"What the town can do is try to recapture tourism we had and lost and prepare the ground and conditions so whatever retail finds this island attractive has the ability to flourish without government being in the way."
Gene Jaleski
"This is the third time I'm running. I'm the only person in this group who's actually won an election."
"Our government has gone off the tracks. At least with the Key Club we went through a due process. Now, we have a commission saying we don't care what codes we change right now as long as we get a new Hilton."
"One only has to look at Whitney Beach Plaza to realize the current commission has no appetite for enforcing codes. Instead, the town says we don't have the power to do anything."
Phill Younger
"I filled a commission post when my opponent (Jaleski) quit and said town government wasn't for him. Since then, I have helped revamp the beach program and save the town
$30 million. I offer you accomplishment and leadership."
"The pension debt has grown out of control over the past 10 years. It finally got to the breaking point. Some other commissioners prior to this commission didn't have enough support to fix it. This is the first commission that's done this in a smart manner. We will cap the town's liability, and we will have a virtual defined contribution plan. It's an accomplishment I am very proud of."
"We do have a property-maintenance code, but it needs tweaking. I personally don't want to set up a code looking at how many square inches of paint are chipping. It needs to be done without being intrusive. What the balance is becomes a tricky business."

Feb. 28, 1998
PROVIDENCE, R.I.-The Providence College Friars honored their senior class in pregame ceremonies on Saturday afternoon, but it was a member of the junior class that put on a show in PC's 77-62 win over Notre Dame.
Junior guard Jamel Thomas scored a career high 32 points and added 10 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season. Justin Farley added ten points and John Linehan chipped in ten points along with six assists and seven turnovers.
All-BIG EAST Player of the Year candidate, Pat Garrity scored 26 points and had ten rebounds for the Fighting Irish. Phil Hickey added 12 points as the only other Irish player in double figures.
The win makes Providence 12-15 on the year and 7-11 in the BIG EAST. Notre Dame is now 13-13 overall and 7-11 in league play. With games still left on the schedule, the BIG EAST Tournament seedings have not been decided as of yet. The Friars look like they are headed for an eighth or ninth seeding and could possible see Notre Dame again on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden.
Thomas was the story in this one though as he shot 12-19 from the floor and equalled a career high with five three-pointers on the way to his 32 points. The Brooklyn, New York native scored 19 of the points in the first half and only a late surge by Garrity kept the game close at 37-33 Providence. PC shot 55.2% (16-29), one of the best halves shooting-wise that PC has had this season.
PC came out quick in the second half and went on a 13-4 run over the first four minutes to go ahead, 50-37. The Friars' lead went to 15 points at 60-45 when Linehan nailed a three-pointer with 9:12 left in the game.
Notre Dame was able to get as close as seven points with 3:36 left when Keith Friel hit his third three point shot of the game. The Friars managed to keep the lead as the Irish began fouling. The Friars were just eight for 16 over the final three minutes shooting foul shots and kept the lead at 10 with 1:12 left in the game. Corey Wright scored on a layup with 25 seconds left and the Friars' lone senior, Mark Adams, nailed a 25-foot three-pointer with six seconds left for the final score of 77-62.

Fashion Photo of the Day 12/27/12 - Demi Lovato High Res Photos
As 2012 is winding down, I wanted to look at two big hair trends of the year and debate whether they should stay strong in 2013 or quietly find a back door of 2012 and slip out. Demi Lovato, known for her young, cool aesthetic, is no stranger to either trend.

A plant by Walrath? To try to portray Walraths posts as much less harmful in comparison to Chinamanny's posts. My administration intends to find the truth and we will prosecute Walrath to the fullest extent of the law if he is found guilty of such a sickening ploy.
I want his head in a box.
This is abuse of office on your part. Your trial starts Monday. If found gulty you will be removed from office. I have only one ID. The other is dead. You killed him.
sounds like someone who should be on anti-psychotic meds but is not.
You need some administration of Haldol, stat!
Did you say you want someone's head in a box? Are you openly threatening someone on this forum with bodily harm?
Please, try to be stupid within some reasonable limit.

Police: Intoxicated woman caused scene during Thunder win
Updated On: Feb 05 2013 11:17:57 AM CST
A Texas woman caused a scene both inside and outside the Chesapeake Arena Monday night during the Oklahoma City Thunder's victory over the Dallas Mavericks, according to a police report.
Mandy Moore, 23, of Richardson, Texas, was detained by security guards who told investigators she was intoxicated. When Oklahoma City officers arrived, they said Moore was verbally and physically aggressive toward them, refused to leave the arena and even kicked the glass exit doors while being escorted out of the building.
Once near a patrol car, one officer said he had to restrain her over the front bumper of the car while another officer unlocked it.
The arresting officer noted in his report that Moore was shouting while a number of parents and children were nearby because it was halftime. Moore was arrested on two counts of assault and battery on a city official as well as a charge of public drunkenness.
Leodis Strong, 33, of Edmond was also arrested on a charge of public drunkenness at the arena at the same time.

Senegal sentences 2 gay men to 6 months in prisonFebruary 1, 2014 @ 7:17 am
DAKAR, Senegal (AP) - A judge in Senegal sentenced two men to six months' jail in a rare conviction of a gay couple on criminal charges.
The two were arrested after neighbors alerted police to their home in Grand Medine neighborhood of Dakar, the capital.
In court Friday the two men acknowledged having sex. Judge Racky Deme sentenced them under Senegal's penal code that calls for prison sentences of up to five years and fines of up to $3,000 for committing "an improper or unnatural act with a person of the same sex."
More than two-thirds of African countries outlaw consensual same-sex acts, and discrimination and violence against gays, lesbians and transgender people is common.
Senegalese President Macky Sall insists gays in the conservative, predominantly Muslim country are only prosecuted for breaking the law.
