Jury finds that Isiah Thomas harassed former Knicks executive
October 2, 2007
NEW YORK - A jury ruled Tuesday that New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas sexually harassed a former top team executive, subjecting her to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults.
The jury also found that Madison Square Garden committed harassment against Anucha Browne Sanders, and ruled that MSG should have to pay her punitive damages. The same jury will now begin deciding the amount of damages.
The harassment verdict was widely expected after the jury sent a note to the judge Monday indicating that it believed Thomas and the other defendants, Madison Square Garden and MSG chairman James Dolan, sexually harassed Browne Sanders, who filed a $10 million lawsuit.
Re: Jury finds that Isiah Thomas harassed former Knicks executive
Isiah, MSG found liable; jury awards $11.6M
A federal jury decided Madison Square Garden and its chairman must pay $11.6 million in damages to former New York Knicks executive Anucha Browne Sanders in her sexual harassment lawsuit.
The jury, which decided MSG had committed harassment against Browne Sanders, found that the Garden owes $6 million for allowing a hostile work environment to exist and $2.6 million for retaliation. MSG chairman James Dolan owes $3 million.
The Garden said it would appeal.
A verdict earlier Tuesday found that Knicks coach Isiah Thomas subjected Browne Sanders to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults, but that he did not have to pay punitive damages.
After an ugly, three-week trial, that verdict gave Thomas a partial victory in the $10 million lawsuit.
"I'm innocent, I'm very innocent, and I did not do the things she has accused me in this courtroom of doing," Thomas said. "I'm extremely disappointed that the jury did not see the facts in this case. I will appeal this, and I remain confident in the man that I am and what I stand for and the family that I have."
After the verdict, Browne Sanders hugged family members and friends gathered in the back of the courtroom.
U.S. District Judge Gerard E. Lynch called it an "eminently reasonable" verdict, and gave the jurors instructions on how to proceed. Before the jury resumed deliberations, attorneys from both sides appealed to the jurors.
Browne Sanders' lawyer, Anne Vladeck, had urged the jury to afix damages that sent a message "to avoid this happening to somebody else." She said the defendants had ruined her client's career, and she called Dolan a liar.
Thomas's lawyer, Ronald Green, told jurors they had already sent "a very clear, very strong and very forceful message.
"Punishment for the sake of punishment is not what this is all about," he said.
The harassment verdict was widely expected after the jury sent a note to the judge Monday indicating that it believed Thomas, the Garden and Dolan sexually harassed Browne Sanders, a married mother of three.
"We believe that the jury's decision was incorrect," MSG said in a statement before punitive damages were awarded. "We look forward to presenting our arguments to an appeals court, and believe they will agree that no sexual harassment took place and MSG acted properly."
Re: Jury finds that Isiah Thomas harassed former Knicks executive
Knicks should show Isiah the door
So many words have been used to describe Isiah Thomas over the years.
Charming. Cutthroat. Brilliant. Manipulative. Ambitious. And now Knicks owner James Dolan should add another:
Former Madison Square Garden executive Anucha Browne Sanders just won her sexual harassment suit against Thomas and the Garden. Thomas came off as arrogant in his testimony. Oh, and by the way, he has been incompetent in running his team. There is simply no reason to believe that Isiah Thomas should remain in charge of the Knicks.
But of course, Dolan doesn't see it that way. Dolan's soft spot for Isiah is the size of North Dakota. The more Thomas embarrasses the Knicks, the more Dolan just wants to give him a hug. So Isiah will probably keep his job.
That is where David Stern has to step in. If the NBA can suspend a player five games for smoking marijuana, what does it do with an executive who committed sexual harassment? You tell me, which is more damaging to an organization? Which is worse for the league?
Stern should suspend Thomas for a minimum of 10 games. Maybe more.
Stern should do it because anything less would send the message that sexual harassment in the workplace is no big deal in the NBA.
It's true that this was a civil suit, not a criminal case, but so what? This goes beyond the jury's ruling. Thomas was a remarkable all-around player for somebody who is just 6-foot-1, and in the last few weeks, we learned that he is an all-around offender as well.
According to plaintiff Anucha Browne Sanders, Thomas said he didn't gave a ... uh, hoot about white-season ticket holders. He offended African-Americans when he said it's worse for a white man to call a black woman "bitch" than for a black man to do it.
"I am sorry to say I do make a (racial) distinction," Thomas said during the trial. "A white male calling a black female a 'bitch' is highly offensive to me."
And of course, he apparently fostered an environment that was uncomfortable, to say the least, for women.
I am pleased to report, however, that Isiah did not say a single derogatory word about left-handed Korean pharmacists.
As with so many of Thomas's problems through the years, he brought this upon himself. He thinks he can get away with anything. And whether he harassed Anucha Browne Sanders or not, the arrogance with which he approached the trial clearly hurt his case. That kind of arrogance is what creates an uncomfortable work environment.
Just ask yourself this:
Would you send your daughter to go work for Isiah Thomas?
When Sports Illustrated asked Stern about the state of the Knicks, he responded that the other teams in the league were all quite happy with the state of the Knicks. Of course they are. Who wouldn't love a franchise that goes way over the luxury tax, kicking money back to other teams, and rarely makes the playoffs? For other owners, the Knicks are the gift that keep on giving — and losing.
But this is different. Do NBA owners really want their friends and family members to think that you can lose a very public (not to mention very embarrassing) sexual harassment case and their league won't even care? I doubt it.
Something has to be done.
I don't think Jim Dolan will do it.
But I bet David Stern will.

Alberta Ferretti Fall 2012
>> Holly Golightly meets leather and lace in Alberta Ferretti's Fall 2012 collection. To the soundtrack from Breakfast at Tiffany's, models trotted out in looks tinged with '60s femininity and modern-day edge. There were cocktail dresses aplenty; most were straight-cut and embellished with fringe, beads, lace, or sheers. Separates, and especially strong-shouldered jackets, made a strong showing as well. Here, they came thigh-length and belted at the waist in textural bouclés and super-bright furs.

3 ugly bananas
Tonight, the fruit store owner sold me 3 ugly bananas. I asked: "Can you cut 2 bananas for me ? I'll just eat 2 tonight." She said: " Hey, would you like to have these bananas? They don't look not good, but still taste ok. I sell them to you cheaper." I didn't care, so I bought them. What yummy bananas they were! They were fat and sweet. Looking at the bananas, I had a warm feeling of being moved, they looked like the smile of my future babies, fat cheeks and bright eyes. I want to have my own boy babies before 35 years old. The bananas tasted soft and light sweet. At that moment, I was not afraid of getting old. I like the present me at 23 years old rather than at 18 years old, because I have overcome some drawbacks and am stronger. I want to be a better woman, being brave enough to smile to the cruel life.
[Good work and nice story.]

Re: Question about String Tension
question when they string the racquet...should they always have four knots on the racquet? this shop only did it with 2 knots..at the beginning it felt weird and now after 2 years it's really loose I have to adjust the string all the time...I guess it's time to change the string even tho it's not broken yet. I am thinking the shop string a lot for badminton racquets..so maybe that's why they only do two knots...so always 4 knots? and how often do you guys re-string the racquet even tho it's not broken yet? a year? 2?

Nov. 17 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. retailers can expect more consumers for this year's Black Friday, the traditional start of the holiday shopping season, according to a survey.
About 74 million consumers, or a third, say they're "definitely" planning to shop during the three days following Thanksgiving on Nov. 24, up from 27 percent last year, according to the survey conducted for the National Retail Federation by BIGresearch. Another 77 million say they'll weigh the offerings first before deciding whether to venture out.
Chains including Target Corp., Macy's Inc. and Best Buy Co. have announced plans to open on Thanksgiving to capture holiday sales that the NRF says may rise 2.8 percent this year, or about half of last year's gain. Retailers dangle doorbusters and other specials on the day after Thanksgiving, called Black Friday, to lure shoppers trolling for bargains.
Consumers are still coping with near-record unemployment of 9 percent and a sluggish housing market. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, this week reported profit that trailed analysts' estimates after holding down prices.
The survey released by Washington-based NRF polled 8,502 consumers from Nov. 1 to Nov. 8.

A survey conducted in 2010 finds that over a decade after a battery take-back policy was put into effect, under the Battery (Manufacturing and Handling) Rules, the compliance is an appalling 24 to 30 per cent across the country.
While varied factors contribute to the non-implementation of the rules, experts and stake-holders deliberated on Monday the critical issue of Extended Producer Responsibility, and how to take this concept beyond mere rules and create an atmosphere where companies, dealers and consumers work together to manage waste effectively.
The panel discussion, which had experts from industry, non-governmental organisations and the public sector participating, was held on day seven of the 14-day Recycling Habba 2011, organised by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board, the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike and Solid Waste Management Round Table, a civil society group.
Talking about the poor implementation of the battery take-back rules, and other lax rules when it comes to labelling and declaring the content in products that are potentially toxic, Almitra Patel, member of the Supreme Court Committee for Solid Waste Management, said that though implementation is poor, "we still need strong laws and policies that will force manufacturers to behave responsibly," and apply the same standards and thresholds that these companies follow world-wide.
Panellists agreed that "we must put a complete stop to several products that are harmful to the environment" along with developing a law that is conducive to creating a society that can make a mindset shift to recycling.

Hey all, I am looking for some small flowering shrubs that might work near the front entry of our house. I want to plant near the brick wall in a SW facing location. Because of the reflected heat off the brick this area gets *very hot* in the summer (we are just north of Austin). Thanks for any suggestions - will also consider tall flowers... |
Follow-Up Postings:
It might help to define the word "small" in your request since small plants in one person's opinion might still be 4-6' high and wide while another may be thinking 1-2' tall and wide. Also, the space you have available for planting might be helpful... length and width of the intended planting area perhaps? Thanks Steve |
- Posted by jscaldwell Zone 8a/8b, TX (My Page) on Mon, Sep 30, 13 at 13:53
Good point Skeeter. I'm thinking of something more along the lines of 1-3' tall, to sit in an area about 3' x 3'. Here is a picture - the new shrubs will take the place of the spindly things sitting by the Yaupon hollys. |
I'm a poor choice for recommending ANY shrub to anyone but that's a wonderful area that would benefit from lots of color. A small rose perhaps as a centerpiece? Maybe a variety of small Encore Azaleas (something like 30 varieties available now per Encore's website). Either should easily tolerate both the heat and the intense afternoon sun, especially if kept well mulched. JMO Steve |
Another idea just hit me... perhaps a big round pot roughly centered with annuals planted around it. That way, the color could change by season if you wished and the higher (pot) and lower (soil) elevations could be used for either similar or contrasting colors. In summer, you can always fall back on sweet potato vine as a groundcover as I haven't found any climatic conditions other than freezing that will kill it and it loves hot sunny areas... good color but no blooms to worry about in one package. SPV does need watering though so that may take it out of your personal lineup for this spot. Just throwing out ideas here... Steve |
- Posted by jscaldwell Zone 8a/8b, TX (My Page) on Mon, Sep 30, 13 at 17:58
Thanks for the ideas Skeeter. I've considered going to roses there as my failsafe, and I like your pot idea. I've been trying to find a place to put azaleas as well, but assumed this might be too hot/sunny for them, plus if they need acidic soil I'm guessing this is a tough spot. If anyone has done azaleas around Austin in a place like this I'm all ears. Thanks again. |
- Posted by cynthianovak 7/8 TX (My Page) on Tue, Oct 1, 13 at 1:43
how about the flowering rosemary. Will smell good if you brush it and no thorns. Drought tolerant too. It looks great in a pot too. I am a big fan of curled leaf parsley in pots with pansies for winter. Summer could be zinnias |

The color of your car may not be a power window into your soul, but it's close.
White is the most popular car color — but people who drive white cars already knew that because, duh, they chose a white car.
Owners of white cars "are people who generally like things to be very pure and pristine and clear and direct," according to color analyst Leatrice Eiseman of the Pantone Color Institute (the "color of the year" people). "There's a degree of fastidiousness."
That's from research she did for Dupont about car colors, which jibes with theorizing by other tint analysts. (Yes, red means sexy. So?)
The number of North American new car buyers who chose white rose by 3 percent this year, to 21 percent, said PPG Industries, the largest supplier of transportation coatings. The jump broke white's long tie with silver, whose fall from favor is linked to the waning economy.
Of course, we're not talking about plain old white. Indeed, the challenge for carmakers is to differentiate their paint colors — a far cry from Henry Ford's harrumph that customers could buy his Model T "in any color, so long as it's black." Consider:
From Toyota: Super White, Blizzard Pearl.
From Ford: Oxford White, White Platinum.
From General Motors: Arctic White, Heron White, Summit White, Ice White.
From Honda: White Orchid Pearl.
From Volkswagen: Alaska White, Onyx White, Pure White, Calla Lily White.
From Volvo: Ice White.
From BMW: Alpine White, Pepper White, Mineral White.
From Jaguar: Polaris White.
The pearl-ization of white is a trend, according to more Dupont research, which notes: "White pearl has three coats. Most colors have two coats, so it is a specialized process."
Brings to mind how Spinal Tap's guitar amplifiers were better because their knobs went to 11.
Still, when it comes to a power move, give credit to the folks at Porsche. Among their 17 colors that riff on such tones as Cognac, Basalt, Mahogany, Ruby and Meteor, they also offer: White. □

Daily Kos founder: How you can take on the system
In a digitally democratic era, fans, bloggers, and activists can bypass traditional gatekeepers and bring about real change.
Berkeley, Calif.
You can't change the world without conflict.
Whether you want to change Capitol Hill or Capitol Records, the corporate tower or the ivory tower, conflict must precede change, because in most of the big institutions of our society, we have too many entrenched elites who refuse to give up power without a fight.
Traditionally, these self-appointed and unaccountable gatekeepers have purported to operate in the public interest, but they are grossly out of touch with the public. Rather than empower people, they designed rules to keep the rabble out of the inner sanctums, where our ideas wouldn't infect their decisionmaking process. Whether it was record-label executives; Hollywood studio moguls; editors and producers in the media; or the clubby D.C. politicians, consultants, and lobbyists, many built walls to protect the sanctity of their turf.
The results? A sick body politic and a homogenized culture; a disengaged citizenry, cynical and despondent over its inability to effect change; and a powerful elite unhampered and unchallenged in the dogged pursuit of its own interests over those of society at large.
But all that is changing. Technology has unlocked the doors and facilitated a genuine democratization of our culture. No longer content to sit on the sidelines as spectators, a new generation of participants is taking an active role in our culture and democracy.
The changing media landscape offers this generation new challenges but also new opportunities. Chief among them is the mother lode of modern activism – the ability to dislodge "conventional wisdom" on any given topic.
Conventional wisdom refers to ideas and explanations generally accepted as the truth by the public, the gatekeepers, and the decisionmakers. Effecting societal change often requires changing the conventional wisdom on issues, especially when the "wisdom" isn't so wise.

We used these as adoption announcements for our daughter and changed the text to read "Coming Soon." The ability to customize the announcement was greatly appreciated as she is not an infant. All in all we received exactly what we expected to receive and have already recommended this site to our friends."
"This was a great product - I was able to easily personalize this item to make it an invitation for a ladybug themed birthday party that turned out absolutely adorable!"

Kilgallon committed to Blades cause
Kilgallon, who has opted not to accept a new contract offer at Bramall Lane, has been linked with a move to Newcastle in January, but the former Leeds defender insists speculation over his future was not the reason behind some indifferent recent performances. Kilgallon said: "I feel personally I'm coming back into form after struggling for a while. People have said my commitment isn't here, but I don't think that's fair. "Everyone goes through bad patches, but I've always been confident that I could turn things around." The 25-year-old comes face-to-face with the man who brought him to Bramall Lane from Leeds in January 2007 when Neil Warnock's Crystal Palace visit the Lane. Kilgallon added: "It will be a tricky game against Palace, who enjoyed a good win at Reading, but if we get all three points then we put ourselves right back in the mix before Christmas."

Wake Forest Demon Deacons (13-17)
@Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (11-19)
Saturday, March 03
Philips Arena
Attendance: 6,157
Wake Forest
Georgia Tech
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Jason Morris poured in a career-high 22 points off the bench, and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets claimed a 69-62 win over Wake Forest in the ACC regular-season finale at Philips Arena.
Mfon Udofia added 15 points and Daniel Miller scored 11 to help the Yellow Jackets (11-19, 4-12 ACC) head into the ACC Tournament on a positive note.
The Demon Deacons (13-17, 4-12) mounted a big second-half rally against fourth-ranked Duke earlier this week, but they faded down the stretch in this contest.
Eight of the Yellow Jackets' 11 first-half field goals came from beyond the arc, as they shot a sizzling 47.1 percent from the perimeter and built a 32-28 halftime lead.
Wake Forest opened the second half with a 11-2 spurt, but Georgia Tech was able to recover and eventually took the lead for good on Morris' three-pointer with 9:13 to play in regulation. That trey was part of a 15-3 run that saw the Yellow Jackets take control.
Georgia Tech made a season-high 11 three-pointers (.423) in the victory.

These video game rings are custom made by CustomMade maker Brittany Foster of BMF Jewelry and feature the "companion cube" from the video game Portal.
The story goes that a CustomMade client named Justin was looking for an interesting idea for his engagement rings so he decided to look up images from an interest common between him and his soon to be fiance. Once he found the "companion cube" he searched CustomMade and found the designer he wanted.
Brittany Foster accepted the challenge and created four different video game rings for him to choose from. Justin chose the most classic look and the ring was cast in stainless steel.
Hopefully Justin's video game rings were a hit with the Mrs.

On the 'Inspector Morse' and 'Inspector Lewis' crime mystery PBS programs which are based in England, it is standard practice usually in each show to check some CCTV footage if any of the suspects drives somewhere to help get their man/woman.
Didn't realize how apparently widespread CCTV is in England until these programs.

Lesley - I am sad that you lost your Love Song. I have been wondering how your roses fared, I know you've been concerned. There are two possibilities you might check out. Chamblee's lists it, but I couldn't get through to them. There is a nursery in Oklahoma called Roses, Inc. Green Country in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma (you can just google it) that ships out of state. They are out of bare root roses now, but said they have five potted Love Song roses left and will ship out of state. You might not want to pay the shipping costs on that, but you might want to check it out. I have purchased roses from them before, they are good quality. Others closer to you might have some good suggestions that would be closer and more practical, I hope you can find a replacement. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've found Love Song available at 3 different local nurseries so check your local ones too. It's a new release so I think a lot of them may have it. |
Thank you Seil. I hope Lesley sees this thread. |

Minneapolis To Offer Organics Recycling
The city of Minneapolis is rolling out organics recycling for those interested in the option. That means residents will be able to toss things like food scraps, chop sticks and pizza boxes into new, green-colored carts. What goes in those carts will be picked up on the same day as garbage, and some of the things that can be recycled can't be put in outdoor compost bins.

If the Metrodome's demolition was like a Vikings football game, we'd be in the final few minutes of the last quarter. Anyone who has driven by the facility over the past few weeks has likely noticed the demolition is almost complete. "All we have left is to clear the site of the rubble," said Michele Kelm-Helgen, Chair of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority.
Good Question: How Does Minnesota Rank In Recycling?
Minnesota is considering a new recycling program where you could return your drink containers for 10 cents a piece. On Tuesday, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency held a public hearing to release a report that argued our can and bottle recycling rate could rise from 45 percent to 84 percent with a 10-cent deposit fee. The report said a new program would add 1,000 jobs in the state, but costs beverage producers $29 million.So that had us wondering: How does Minnesota rank in recycling?
Don't Kick Your Christmas Tree To The Curb, Recycle It
Some of you have already gotten rid of your Christmas trees, and some of you are probably putting it off. Sure, you can leave yours by the curb for pickup. But we found out there's a way you can make good use of that tree for the next four months or so.
Will Container Deposits Encourage More Recycling?
Minnesota's recycling rate is among the highest in the country. But that's not saying a lot when you consider that at 47 percent, less than half of all residents are chipping in.

North Carolina Courts rule sweepstakes ban as unlawful
After a three judge panel on the NC Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to throw out North Carolina's law banning video sweepstakes machines on March 5, saying the ban intruded on free speech rights of machine operators, Franklin's Board of Alderman agreed to impose higher fees on sweepstakes machines operating within their jurisdiction. Town officials voted to increase their fee to local sweepstakes machines at their regular scheduled meeting in March. The town should get a significant amount of revenue from the policy move.

Arc+ Welding Simulator
A training tool that powers lifelike virtual welding practice. It is the most complete, easy-to-use and realistic simulator on the market.
The simulator's movement detection system breaks down its user's manual dexterity parameters and trains all welding positions without any need for calibration. Its graphic interface and its use of real welding guns account for its unequalled realism.
"The simulator creates a sane competition environment between students. It is enjoyable for them, while remaining a true training tool that teaches welding basic notions."Dr. Hong Li, Beijing University of Technology
"The Arc+ Simulator allows our students to acquire manual dexterity much faster and efficiently, a skill they can then transfer to real welding with confidence. This process improves our training in a lot of ways."
Jean-Pierre Lupien, Groupe Tremblay
"It is a very innovative system which will undoubtedly become a well accepted tool for training of welders."

More than 30 LCD televisions and an 8-foot high-definition projector surround Maximum Capacity, where patrons enjoy 19 beers on tap downstairs and groove to the beat of live performances by DJs and cover bands upstairs. The venue's list of performer's has earned acclaim from The Valley Advocate, especially for bringing in big-name stars such as Vince Neil of Motley Crue. While taking in show or a Pats game, diners munch on classic pub favorites such as one of eight specialty sandwiches, five types of burgers, and eight signature pizzas.
By following the blueprints found on a sprawling menu of wraps, sandwiches, and pizza, the culinary experts at JP's Restaurant battle flavor shortages against a sports-bar backdrop. The beef stroganoff blends braised beef tips with sautéed mushrooms, sour cream, and a network of penne noodles ($14.99), and the chicken française attacks hunger with a battalion of sautéed mushrooms, an infantry of white-wine lemon sauce, and a division of angel hair pasta commanded by a general of boneless chicken breast ($14.60). Pie-mongers can nibble one of 14 specialty pizzas, such as the large chicken pesto ($14.60), which is smothered in mozzarella-based goodness, while lunchers can open cuisine gates to massage teeth with a Cajun chicken-fajita wrap ($7.99), a burger slathered in hickory sauce ($7.45), or a hot basalt stone.
As host to league battles between both the American Poolplayers Association (APA) and the North American Poolshooters Association (NAPA), Ivory Billiards Lounge takes its playing conditions very seriously, and has since 1945. Professional standard Simonis cloth covers keep balls rolling to their intended trajectory, and meticulous leveling ensures fair gameplay. Casual players learning the ropes or a reincarnated Minnesota Fats can rack 'em up on their expansive selection of pool pulpits, including 10 7-foot tables, nine 9-footers, and a rare 5'x10' table that was smuggled down a beanstalk. Gambling fans can get their kicks on Keno and Mass Lottery games, while of-age adults savor more than 30 flavors of vodka and a quintet of draft beers. Ivory Billiards Lounge is open seven days a week, and keeps night owls entertained until 2 a.m. every evening.
The two screens of Tower Theaters host an eclectic cast of characters, from the flying superheroes of summer blockbusters to elaborately costumed opera singers. And 3D technology propels many of them toward the audience with the vivid clarity of digital projection. The dancers and singers appear as part of an opera-and-ballet series, which showcases stage productions such as Caravaggio or Die Fledermaus in digital high definition. But on the first Saturday of every month, film and live performance combine with midnight showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, during which a shadow cast poses in front of the screen to mirror the cult classic's plot and catch Tim Curry when he falls out.

Letter: In defense of the softball tournament
Updated July 20, 2012 at midnight
To the editor:
I am writing this letter in response to the letter about the girls softball tournament.
Every year in the close past, the tournament has been all day Thursday or Friday. People complained about having to take off work, the heat of the day, and it taking too long. It has been suggested to have it on a Saturday.
People complain because it interferes with camping or trips.
This year was a Friday afternoon and evening. Not playing in the midday heat was great.
There are some things that could have been done differently, but that's all in hindsight.
A double elimination bracket in any sport can be a very long and grueling process for a team that has a loss.
My daughters have played six games straight in basketball and still played in the championship game but got beat. That is the way a bracket like that works.
I have watched Triple Crown fast pitch softball teams just keep playing to stay in the bracket with no breaks. There is no way to make everyone who has a child playing happy with one tournament schedule.
We all should be grateful that we have a program and that our girls are given the opportunity to have fun and learn at the same time. The girls make new friends, learn the values of being on a team, learn about winning and losing, and best of all, how to have fun.
Parents create the negative behaviors and attitudes, not the kids who played that night.
It doesn't matter about who won the tournament or how many games they played, or even at what times.
What matters is that every girl in both leagues had some great experiences throughout the whole season. The one night does not define the whole season.
I personally know how much time Pam and Tonya put into the softball leagues, plus all the other sports, and I am grateful that they do that so my kids have summer sports to participate in.
The only way to make something better, if you are unhappy, is for you to volunteer your time and see if you can help in some way or another. I know they always need volunteers to help with many things.
The parents in our community need to set the standard for our children to live up to. We, the parents, set the examples for them to live by and negativity helps no one.

To some degree I agree with this letter, no breaks for eating or using the restroom and being rushed just because the umpire is tired and ready to be done? The girls that lost their first games did not have ONE single break the entire rest of the night, the Champions of both age groups got a least an hours break to eat use the restroom and just relax, how fair is that, lack of planning was the cause of the 9 hours straight ball play for the losing teams. There could of been breaks added in or even made this a two day tournament for that matter to give ALL the hard playing girls some rest time. I have been to many sports functions in my life and never have I seen a team that didn't get a 30 minute to an hour break at one point or another. Hopefully next year Craig Parks and Rec can better plan out the year end tournament!
lawtonl 2 years, 6 months ago
A two day tournament would be hard to do. All of the coaches and assistants have full time jobs outside of softball. It is asking a lot for the coaches to use vacation or just miss a day of pay in order for each team to have a nice easy tournament. I do not believe The ump was hurrying things because she was tired. If that was the case, you need to think about them too. They were there all day, listening to parents heckle them about calls and the way the tournament was being ran. Call Pam at 824-8151 and volunteer your time to help plan a better planned day of play. That is the problem a lot, people complain about schedules, refs, umps and coaching but never stand up to help. It is way easier to sit and complain than to stand and help.
Jason Phillips 2 years, 6 months ago
Great rebuttal, Lisa.
Ms. Plantiko showed a lack of class and understanding with her letter, in my humble opinion. If she had complaints, those should have been taken directly to Parks & Rec. The fact that she chose to grandstand in the CDP about being treated "unfairly" is indicative of a victim mentality and a terrible example to set, especially in regard to a youth softball tournament.
I hope those who are complaining the loudest are actively working towards solutions instead of just pointing fingers in a very public venue.

pretty on the inside
Ok so, say I workout really hard, and I mean HARD, and eat right for 3 days. This will usually cause me to lose a few pounds, sometimes even 5. Naturally by this point I'm feeling pretty good and a family member asks me out to eat, or I feel like cooking spaghetti or Mexican food. Why is it that I can gain those 5 pounds plus some back, just from one meal, eating the same as everyone else? I know its probably not the best idea to weigh yourself after eating, but even the next day after "the dust settles " I am usually back where I started before the three day stretch or damn close. It seems like I have absolutely no room for mistakes if I plan on reaching my goal and its so depressing!
