Gallery: Architect Jean Nouvel Unveils Masterplan for Seguin Island in ...

knowing nouvel's work leaves no doubt of the islands end outcome-sensational. sustainability is assured in the 21st century and does not need to be a marketing tool but rather a design tool. unfortunately nouvel cannot change the cities river issues but i bet nouvel's team makes some important river connections-physically, visually, & sensually. i look forward to the final reality
January 3, 2011 at 4:28 pm
The images here are not very provocative. They make it look like a generic development. I hope it improves as the design is developed. It would also be great if sustainability was a driving force behind the development. Especially considering it could reintroduce a riparian habitat to the urban center of the city.
Submit your sustainable creative ideas to the Holcim Awards for Sustainable Construction.

The initiative offered to reverse the Khartoum resolution with a triple "Yes."
Christianity arrived in Sudan, about 125 miles northeast of Khartoum, with the eunuch minister of Queen Candice in 35 AD.
The mystery of what happened in Khartoum continues -- for now.
1842, from Arabic Bilad-al-sudan, literally "country of the blacks," from sud, plural of aswad (fem. sauda) "black."
Capital of Sudan, a port at the juncture of the two upper portions of the Nile River — the Blue Nile and White Nile.
Republic in northeastern Africa, bordered on the north by Egypt; on the east by the Red Sea and Ethiopia; on the south by Kenya, Uganda, and Democratic Republic of Congo; and on the west by the Central African Republic, Chad, and Libya. Its capital is Khartoum, and its largest city is Omdurman.
Note: Sudan was under the joint rule of Britain and Egypt (though Britain exercised actual control) from 1899 to 1956.
Note: Recently, it has been plagued by famine and civil war.

Agent welcomes Barcelona interest for Valencia keeper Guaita
The agent of Valencia goalkeeper Vincente Guaita has welcomed interest from Barcelona.
Guaita is under consideration at Barca as a replacement for Victor Valdes.
"I have not talked to Vincente about it, but it goes without saying that when an entity like Barcelona is interested in you it is a compliment to any professional. The situation in goal for Valencia is not ideal. Guaita wants minutes and after all, one of the two must leave," Vincente Fores told TMW.

Anzhi Makhachkala boss Guus Hiddink has no doubt that Liverpool will return to the lofty status they enjoyed the last time the Dutch coach found himself facing off against the Reds. Hiddink took the reins at Chelsea for the final three months of the 2008-09 season, a campaign which saw the Reds finish second and narrowly miss out on the Barclays Premier League title. Liverpool also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League in 2009, where it was eliminated 7-5 on aggregate by Hiddink's Stamford Bridge side. "Of course, at that time they had different players and were more leading in the Premier League," recalled the 65-year-old, who has managed the Holland national team and Real Madrid during his long career. "This season they have had a problematic start, but this is a huge institution -- it will always recover. Liverpool will always resurrect and come up to the top, where they belong."

The circuit described here can be used as electronic letter box. When somebody drops letter in your letter box then LED connected to output stops glowing indicating you that you have letter. To detect the presence of a letter we have used a LDR and a source of light. It has resistance of about 1 mega ohm in total darkness and 2-5kohm in bright light. In this the source of light and LDR is so adjusted in letter box that light will fall directly fall on LDR so that when letter is drop inside the box it will block the beam of light and LDR will be under darkness.The circuit gives you a visual alarm when somebody drops a letter in your drop box. This electronic letter box circuit is based on operational amplifier LM741, CD4001 and LDR.An op-amp produces an output voltage that is hundreds of thousands times larger than the voltage difference between the input terminals.
An LDR (Light dependent resistor), as its name suggests, offers resistance in response to the ambient light. The resistance decreases as the intensity of incident light increases, and vice versa. In the absence of light, LDR exhibits a resistance of the order of mega-ohms which decreases to few...
Resistor is a passive component used to control current in a circuit. Its resistance is given by the ratio of voltage applied across its terminals to the current passing through it. Thus a particular value of resistor, for fixed voltage, limits the current through it. They are omnipresent in...

About Us
The Osceola Senior Softball League was founded about 20 years ago in St. Cloud Florida. Our founder Leo Viti is no longer as active with the organization as he would like to be but he still drops by occasionally to say hi to everyone and cheer us on.
The Osceola Senior Softball League is devoted to providing an outlet for our active seniors to stay in shape both physically and mentally by playing a game they love. By participating in our league we get to meet other same minded individuals which often develop into strong and long lasting friendships.
The league meets Monday and Friday at 8:30 AM from March to December at Denn John Ball Fields behind the Makinson Aquatic Center
for pickup games.
In November our members are split up into regular teams for our tournament season which runs from January through April. Members are evenly divided into teams according to their abilities so that no team has an unfair advantage.
During our Tournament season ( January - April ) we play our games at Fortune Road Softball Complex in Kissimmee.
We also meet on Wednesdays at 8:30 AM for batting and fielding practice at Denn John.
All Players 55 years of age and over are welcome to join us regardless of your skill level or place of residence. Our aim is to promote a healthier lifestyle for our young seniors through the exercise of playing softball and through the camaraderie of social interaction.
Osceola Senior Softball is a non profit corporation registered with the Federal Government and the State of Florida.

May 25
Welcome new players Isabelo Santiago and Adrian Orozco and welcome back Bruce Katz and Carlos Soto having returned from their long rehab assignments.
May 10
Friday games were played with 4 teams of 11 each, started early, ended earlier, ended up with scores of 9-8 & 14-13, and were played on fields each with a 200ft. line. So to sum up: good, good, good, exciting, and thank God.
May 3 & 5, 2015
: Ch-ch-ch-changes:
We are trying out a new pick-up game sign-in sheet. By 9 a.m. please make sure you have checked in (place check to the left of your name - alphabetical order by 1st name). This will hopefully keep us from missing anyone as sometimes happens when in between names being given to us and writing them down we become involved in other other communication. Also look for the following field changes promised by the grounds crew manager: a white 200 ft line & 65 ft. base paths. The line is an attempt to keep outfielders from having to guess where to stand, avoiding arguments resulting when the other team disagrees with that guess. A return from 70 foot to the 65 ft. standard bases should lessen any frustration of those who didn't understand why they were suddenly grounding into more double plays.
Reminder: If you need to call Mike, Dave or Gene about arriving after 9 a.m. (still need to show by 9:15) for pick-up games our cell phone #s are Mike @ 772-359-8415, Dave @ 407-709-2001, or Gene @ 321-662-7470 (only Fri. 8:30 - 9 during May & June or my way of saying call Mike or Dave. For other issues call my home phone 407-816-8221). This reminds me of another reminder - click on "MEMBERS" icon above to find the page of all phone # & emails of our current players. This reminds me of one more reminder - I'm trying to update all of this info. so if there are any changes to phone or email addresses let me know.
And they keep a'comin. Welcome new members Roberto Alvarez, Miguel Rios, Rafael Rivera, and Jerry Matos & welcome back Luis Ortiz!

Pick-up games have picked-up with attendance averaging 35-45 men. Would love to see that 40 man mark hit regularly so we can have enough for 4 teams and 2 nine-inning games. Would also love if both games could be played on mud-free fields but the reality of a Florida & Denn John combo makes that a lot to hope for. The games, though soggy, have been competitive and fun. Special thanks to the 99% of players who have been arriving or calling in by 9 a.m.
Welcome to a continued flow of new and returning players: we have our 5th "Angel" (and 2nd Angel R) Angel Rosado and our 5th Jim, Jim Toler, as well as Rodolfo Santos and Carlos Morales. And welcome back Bill Ibrahim, Curt Fletcher, Bob Giguere, & Jose Guzman! Also glad to see Benny V and especially relieved to see Jimmy Parker's return as many of us have been quite thirsty in his absence (remember to tip him big if you're drinking his water)
Our first committee meeting was held this week with the new members and Rick discussing roles, organization, labor requirements, sponsorships, budget/funds, forms, Fortune, Denn John permits, as well as doing some brainstorming on the future. Angel B was on hand to discuss an interested corporate sponsor and Al C was there to help us by applying his knowledge of league rules to what we could & couldn't and should & shouldn't do going forward.
Coming out of the meeting were these 'action' items that need to be communicated:
The league will utilize it's 8 am to 12 pm permit on Wednesday and run the pick-up game after batting practice. Like Mon. & Fri. all league rules will apply including using the 200 foot line and prohibiting those under 70 yr olds from using 'senior bats' and those under 55 from playing (sorry Sal, Edwin, & Marlon… please age quickly). Dave has announced that we would like all 'senior bats' to be identified and has bought colored tape so a strip can be place above the grip for that purpose. This would help keep things fair and hopefully help avoid confusion especially amongst newbies. Would love to get Miguel to help us identify all the models that would need taping.
We also were reminded that everyone who didn't play in the Jan-Mar league needs to sign a new waiver form and pay the $15 annual fee. There's only a few members who need to sign and/or pay; I'll have the forms ready and my palm open at the cage before game time for those this applies to.
I will also be asking those not currently on the email mailing list if we're able to add them. As well I will likely be conducting a survey soon to figure out if a Denn John Summer League is feasible.
April 2, 2015
An email sent was sent out Tuesday, 03/31, reminding everyone you need to check in by 9AM Mon & Fri. We need all the names of those playing by then so if you're running a late you can call before 9:00 & arrive by 9:15 to play [ Mike @ 772-359-8415, Dave @ 407-709-2001, or Gene @ 321-662-7470 (Fri. 8:30 - 9:00 only…otherwise home @ 407-816-8221)].
Monday & Friday pick-up games at Denn John started with a rare rainout 03/23. We did get under way Fri., 03/27 and again Mon., 3/30, both with 3 team games. Welcome to our new players: Randy Parnell,Ron Ramos, Harry Canavesi, Rich Keilman, Julio Negron, and Angel Rexach.Congratulations to Tournament Champions Koffee Kup and Playoff Champions VFW * See team pictures on "TEAMS" page

Despite many injuries and player shortages it is still impressive how hard all teams are playing and refusing to
go down without a fight making for some very competitive games. We are nearing the end of our regular season with
a very tight race for first place best of luck to all teams.
Picture day on Monday, look your best.
After five years of service Julio Medina, Dean Droz and Angel Bermudez will be stepping down from the committee

After leading the pack all season Rental World finally stumbled losing 2 games to VFW and moving into second place behind Koffee Kup.
It appears that there will be some pretty stiff competition between Rental World, Koffee Kup and VFW for that top spot but Family Physicians
seems to be waking so never underestimate any team.
It was good to see Dean up and around again, he seems to be on the road to being his jolly old self again.
Feb 10, 2015
On Monday Marc Clery, photographer for the Osceola News-Gazette stopped by Fortune Road and snapped some pictures
at the game between Rental World and Koffee Kup. They can be seen on the Osceola News-Gazette Facebook Page, and in the
Saturday Feb 14th edition.
Jan 17, 2015
The new season is off to a good start with no rainouts so far. The teams are starting to work as a unit and improving every week for what appears to be a
very competitive season. Good luck to all and stay safe.
We'd like to welcome all our snowbirds and hope that you all have a good time while you're here and spread the word about our league.
Benny Vasquez is doing better he underwent some surgery last week and is finally getting over the effects, hopefully he will start playing again in a few weeks ,
in the meantime he will try to show up and cheer his team on.
Jan 5, 2015,
We did it again, great first day. Thanks to all of our sponsors for making this possible, Thanks to VFW Post 3227 St. Cloud for providing the color guard and thanks to everyone who came out to make this a special day in our lives.

We would like to welcome new members Robert Wood and Tom Galligan.
The league committee will be meeting with Kissimmee Parks and Recreation Department this coming Thursday to finalize the details for our season which will start in January. We will discuss scheduling and fees and any other issues needed to maintain the great relationship we enjoy with Kissimmee Parks and Recreation. We'll keep you posted on the outcome of the meeting.
We are looking forward to having 8 teams this upcoming season and we'll be playing the same number of games as last year(42).
Summer pickup games have been going very well, even with so many people going away on vacation we still get 3 or 4 teams per session and we've only had one rainout so far this summer. If you're sitting around wondering what to do, come out and join us.
For anyone who has seen our ad in the Gazette, during the summer we play at Denn John Park, not Fortune Road.
Things were a little iffy on Monday we didn't think we would be able to play because of the torrential rains the night before plus a lot of guys didn't show up.
When we got to the park, field 2 had pretty big puddles but field 1 only had a little mud by first base so, we had a field and enough guys showed up for 2 teams, so we had a game. Hope things are better on Friday.
Dick Stenger is no longer in St. Cloud, he has gone back home to Minnesota. We hope that his days can be as pleasant as possible under the circumstances.
May 17, 2014
Thanks to all of you who participated in our Memorial Day activities. The idea of playing two 5 inning games worked out pretty good and may that's something we should consider doing more of in the future. I hope everyone had a good time at the picnic despite the fact that we had some miscommunication as to who was bringing what causing some shortages, hopefully we'll do a better job next time.
Dick Stenger has been released from the hospital and is under hospice care at his home in the Sugar Mill Community On Chapel Road in St. Cloud
One of our members, Dick Stenger has been hospitalized for a few days now
and he probably wouldn't mind a visit from some of his old teammates.
Dick is at ;

Members of the committee met recently with officials of the Kissimmee Department of Parks and Recreation and they were very cooperative and receptive of our proposal to begin our next tournament in January 2015 instead of November 2014. Some details still have to be worked out but it seems like a go for January. Our goal this year is to have a total of 8 teams thus avoiding any "buys".
So far it seems as if we may have enough team sponsors but always be on the lookout for any prospective league or team sponsors in case one drops out. Remember if you bring in a sponsor your entry fee is covered.
Wednesday Batting Practice is for batting practice, anyone arriving late (9:15) will not be allowed to bat, participants should get at least 2 rounds at bat. For Safety's sake, The first 15 members will be on field 2 , all others should go to field 1 .

Our by laws call for an election of officers every two years, presently we are overdue. Our current officers Julio Medina, Rick Arleo, Dean Droz and Angel Bermudez would like to see some new candidates step in and run the show for a while. Board members are generously compensated with lots of work and rewarded with everyone's complaints. If you have what it takes, sign up and run for office.
If you have any questions please see one of the board members.
We had spoken of possibly starting next season's tournament in January but as of this time no decision has been made, we will notify you if any changes are made
April 10,2014
UPDATE : We just got permission to use one field at Fortune Road on Friday April 11. The field is set up for a girls tournament with 200' fence around the outfield, Sooo we can play a WOODEN BAT ONLY game , over the 200' line is a Home Run. It should be a lot of fun, bring your wooden softball bat if you have one.

Remember, any game after our practice session on Wednesdays is not part of Osceola Senior Softball's program.
Anyone wishing to participate does so at their own discretion and risk, rules may be different, some players are younger,
and the bats used may be "hotter" than those allowed in our league.
March 14, 2014
Sunshine blue skies cool weather and a gentle breeze, another picture perfect day for playing softball.
Once again we only had three teams but as always we had great time with a great game and great company.
Don't sit at home doing nothing, come out and join us.
Gene Mitchell has volunteered to select the teams on Monday so he can give me a break, I'm sure he'll do an outstanding job.
March 19, 2014
Our Mondays and Fridays pickup games have been working out pretty good and even the rain has held off in the mornings allowing us to get our games in. Wednesday's practice session was too successful, we had a big crowd but unfortunately we only had one field available to due to the other field being reserved.
After practice there was a really good three team game with some younger players and some of our members.
March 9, 2014
We had a great turnout on Friday unfortunately we only has one field available due to the heavy rains the previous night, but thanks to everyone's patience we managed to get a game in. The weather was absolutely perfect and every one was in a good mood, I don't think I saw Felix interrupt the game even once. We had a newcomer named Michael Brown out there playing and though his performance wasn't exactly stellar, he was a good sport and enjoyed himself, If you see him, introduce yourself and help him out. March 14 2014
Don't forget to re set your clocks so you can be there on time on Monday.
If you are interested in getting a team picture, see Julio.

Thanks to all who attended the banquet last night and made it the great relaxing and fun time that it was, you can view the photos by clicking on the "Photos" button above.

Larry Widmer had surgery on his spine last Tuesday (February, 18th) and has been in rehabilitation since, he had a few problems with the surgery, but he is doing much better. He wanted all of his team-mates to know where he is, if they would like to visit. He is at: Consulate Health Care of Kissimmee, 2511 North John Young Parkway, Kissimmee, the phone number is; 407-931-3336 and he is in room 606. Visitors are welcome and he would love some company. Thanks to all of you.
February 24, 2014
This has been one of the best tournament seasons we have ever had and our thanks go out to all our Sponsors for their support, and to The Kissimmee Department of Parks and Recreation for all their cooperation in accommodating our schedule
and all the fine work that was done on the fields.
Thanks to all of you who participated, and finally thanks to the committee who worked behind the scenes to put all this together
rarely hearing a word of thanks put putting up with all the BS.
We are now continuing our pickup games on Monday and Friday Mornings, please get there early.
January 27,2014
It seemed as if we were going to have our first rainout of the season this morning but we hung in there and waited it out and it payed off. The clouds cleared, the sun came out and a bunch of happy old guys were playing softball once again.
Jan. 24, 2014
On a chilly breezy Friday morning the softball gods finally shone down on Rental World and we finally managed to win a game , two actually. As they say win or lose, its how you play the game that counts but dang it feels nice to win.
January 18, 2014
Please have a little patience as I am experiencing some technical difficulties with the website software and cannot upload any pictures at this time and I don't have the time right now to deal with it.
It was a pleasant surprise to see Leo Viti out at the park on Friday, I'm glad he was able to get out there even if only for a short while. For those of you who don't know Leo, he was one of the founders of this league.
Family Physicians is solidly in first place but Pain Treatment is coming on strong. The softball gods have not been very kind to Rental World, every time victory is within reach they snatch it away ( or do we throw it away ?) anyhow a good time is had by all.
Jan. 10,2014
What started out as an ugly, cloudy day turned into a beautiful sunny Florida day finally putting an end to that cold spell we had.
The day also turned out to be
2-Fer Friday
with Koffee Kup, Kohlmeyer and Family Physicians winning two games each and Pain Treatment, VFW, and Allstate losing 2 games.
Meanwhile Rental World had the day off, just minding their own business and they still fell an additional game behind.
Dec, 30, 2013
Merry Christmas to all and a very Happy and Healthy New year to you and your families.
To all of those traveling have a safe trip and get back on time for the next game on
January 6th 2014.

Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Rick Richmond on the loss of his wife Jackie.
Rick has been a "snowbird" playing in our league for a number of years now.
Our prayers go out to him at this time.

Thanks to Santa for showing up on Friday, I asked him to let Rental World win at least one game. He let me down, we lost two.
Best of luck to Pete Ortiz with his new car . Talking about cars, Jose Valecillo washed his truck for the first time in 8 years and it looks pretty good.
We have one more week to go before the Christmas vacation, and it looks like we need it with all the cripples hobbling around, hopefully everyone will heal for the New Year.
I think I got the standings right this time.
Dec 11, 2013
Thank you Dan for the Sloppy Joes and refreshments.
Dec. 6, 2013
Well we're down to a 3 way tie now for first place. I thought for sure Rental World would walk all over underdog Koffee Kup but what a surprise KK won 2 in a row. I still think it's the donuts Frank feeds them. Great game, great company. we'll do it again Monday.
December 2. 2013
Wow, have you seen the standings? We now have a 4way tie for first place, Friday should prove to be a very interesting day. Make sure you show up.
Nov 16 2013
Happy Birthday to Arturo Rodriguez and many thanks for his hospitality on Friday when he invited a bunch of us over to his house.
Nov. 11, 2013
Our tournament is off to a great start and everyone is really into the competition, however some players are getting too emotional and having a little problem controlling their emotions. Our umpires will not put up with misconduct, just ask Luis Abreu and Jose Soto who were ejected for two games for arguing with the umpire.
Please play nice.
November 4, 2013
What a great day!
Opening Day ceremonies were a big hit with players and spectators alike, it almost seemed as if we knew what we were doing.
Thanks to all of you for making this possible. Special thanks go out to Steve Lackey and Jason Carroll from the Kissimmee Parks and Recreation Department for all their help with our scheduling and for for taking the time to make an appearance at our Opening Day and show their support.
Thanks to Cal Goggans for that wonderful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, no that was not a recording that was really Cal.
Thanks to John Diaz for speaking to the Man up above on our behalf and asking for his blessing.
Most of all thanks to Julio Medina and his committee members for all their hard work and dedication in putting all this together.
Game winners were Rental World won 2 games, VFW won 2 games and Family Physicians Group won 2. Regardless of who won or lost, in the end
we were all winners for the great for the great day we had.
I posted some pictures, they're not the best quality but you can still get an idea of what went on. Clock on the "Photos" button above.
Oct. 30,2013
Due to circumstances beyond our control, opening day has been re scheduled from Friday Nov. 1 to
Monday November 4.
Be there by 8:30 to get the opening ceremony and games started on time.
(the order of games on the schedule remains the same)
On Friday Nov 1, we will meet at Denn John to pick up our team shirts and hats and play a pickup game.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Oct.8, 2013
The committee met yesterday to rate the players and go over the rules. Also attending the meeting were most of the new managers for the upcoming season, they are;
Miguel Gonzalez, Dave Brown, Jose Soto, Pete Edwards, Mike Rodriguez, Jose Valecillo and Felix Navarro.
Many opinions were considered and reviewing of the rules so as to have as few disagreements as possible in the future. The managers will be well informed of all the rules and will review them with their team members so that we will all be "
playing by the same rules
One main rule change will be regarding the pitcher's net, a batted ball hitting the net will count as a strike, similar to a foul ball instead of an out.
The draft will take place on October 17th all managers are asked to attend so as to ensure that the process will be as open and fair as possible and to avoid any ill feelings after the selections are made.
Don't forget to check the schedule so you can set your priorities straight and plan your life around softball instead softball around your life.

We're well on our way to getting the new season started. Today we met with the parks department to sign our contract for the fields at Fortune Road.
The team shirts have been ordered, the balls have been ordered, players checks are coming in and everyone is eager to get the new season going.
Make sure you get your registration completed, don't be left out, teams will be selected in October.
The new schedule has been posted check it out

Attendance at our weekly games has been really good lately, we've had four teams the past few weeks despite the high summer temperatures which goes to show how much we enjoy this game.
Congradulations to Frank Woodsby and his very professional and friendly staff of Koffee Kup (a St. Cloud GREAT place for breakfast and lunch) for being honored as a "Good Neighbor of the Quarter" during the August Quarterly Luncheon of the St. Cloud Chamber of Commerce. Key note speaker was Mayor Buddy Dyer. Frank is a member, player and team sponsor of the Osceola Senior Softball League.
September 2, 2013
We held our Labor Day game today and we had several guest players join us today, 9 innings were played on both fields and as usual a great time was had by all. After the game we had a little picnic with lots of food provided by our members, followed by our popular Cornhole tournament and Dominoes games. Eddie provided a fantastic variety of music which I'm sure appealed to everyone.
Julio did a great job in setting everything up and for that we are very thankful, maybe next time we can get more volunteers to help with the setting up and the cleanup. Thank you to all who brought some tasty food to share with us, it made for a very successful event.
And thank you all for coming . We have a few photos of the picnic (18 ) you can see them by clicking the "Photos" button above .
Don't forget to see Julio to register for the new season which starts in November.
August 30, 2013
We just played our last game of August and the turnout was very good we had 4 teams on 2 fields. Everyone had a great time and survived the 90 degree weather.
On Tuesday Aug. 27, The Committee met with Steve Lackey, Assistant Director and Jason, Carroll Manager of Recreation and Leisure Services of the City of Kissimmee Parks and Recreation Department. Steve and Jason are very aware of our Senior League and have been extremely helpful in as far as doing all they can to help us with scheduling, obtaining sponsorships and keeping our costs at an affordable level, our thanks go out to them for all they have done for us.
While I'm at it I'd also like to thank the staff at Denn John Park they do an excellent job in maintaining the fields and giving us a safe and well groomed field to play our games on week after week year round.
Official registration for our November League begins in September, make sure you speak to Julio if you haven't already, so we can
reserve a spot for you.
On Monday September 2, we will have a little picnic after the game, bring your family and something to share, it should be a fun time.
Aug. 16, 2013
It was a little hectic getting started this morning because players showed up late and in order to accommodate them we wound up with 14 players on each team. Please come early so we can start on time.
So far it looks like the players fee for next season will be around $65, this is because we have picked up a few more sponsors helping us keep our fees at this level.
Don't forget to see Julio to register for next season which starts in November.
You snowbirds out there drop us an email and let us know when you
will be here so we can squeeze you in.
We will definitely have 7 teams in November and who knows if maybe we'll get to 8.
Welcome to new members Gus and Brian.
August 9, 2013
It was good to see some faces that haven't been around for a while such as Dennys Cyr who is slowly recovering from shoulder surgery. Juan Castillo who had been away for several weeks, and Kurt Fletcher whom we haven't most of the summer.
We have quite a few guys on the disabled list, I hope
they will all be healed by the start of the season.
See you Monday.
August 3, 2013
Thank you to all those who turned out for Joe Matos' funeral service, his family was very appreciative.
As you may know by now we have voted to use the pitchers protective nets and have been using them for a couple of weeks now. So far there has been very little opposition to their use as the players become accustomed to them. The aim of course is to protect the pitcher. This is something that we would have had to do eventually anyway as it is becoming mandatory in some other parks.
(Sorry Lary)

Surprise turnout today, we had enough players for 4 teams even with a few players on the sidelines nursing their injuries. We were quickly able to set up both fields for all four teams. Among those whom we haven't seen in a while were Bob Guigiere and Karl Lengle. We wish Karl's wife the best possible outcome as she undergoes several tests to determine the most appropriate actions regarding certain health issues.
The committee will meet this Thursday and one of the items to be discussed will be the possibility of using the pitching screens during tournament play.
If you have any concerns please let the committee know so they can be considered.
We are once again looking for additional TEAM sponsors so keep your eyes and ears open for any possible candidates.
July 13, 2013
Thanks to the generous contributions from all of you, we have collected enough money to order two additional pitching screens.
This will allow us spread our batting practice to two fields. Our Wednesday practices have become so popular that it takes a very long time to go through even one round of batting. with the additional screen on the other field we can spread the players around and get a few more swings in .
Keep your eyes and ears open for any opportunity to get additional league sponsors, we can always use the money as costs for fields, insurance and equipment are always increasing.
November is right around the corner so try to get in shape or stay in shape for our new season, it should really be a good one.

We managed to get our game in today and even have our picnic afterwards before the skies opened up and the rain came down.
I guess the threat of thunderstorms kept our turnout low today, but those that showed up had a good time anyway. Thanks to all who participated with food and drinks and setting up. Special thanks to Eddie for once again providing all that excellent music. Lets hope that the rain holds off again on Friday.
June 26, 2013
July 4th falls on a Thursday this year but since we don't play on Thursdays, we're going to get a hea start and celebrate on Monday July 2nd.
After our game on Monday July 2nd we will have a little barbecue, Games , Food , Refreshments, Music. Volunteeers have already been assigned what to bring but if you would like to bring anything, snacks drinks etc. it would be appreciated.
We would like to welcome 2 new league sponsors, PHILLY'S PHINEST Restaurant in Poinciana and EDWARD JONES Financial Advisors in St. Cloud.
Thank you both for your support.

Hey guess what Larry won't be missing too many games after all. He rescheduled his appointments so he could make the games, now there's a man who has his priorities straight.
On Friday a stranger showed up at the park and said he would like to play so I said sure , he asked if he could borrow a bat so he could swing it around for a while, I handed him mine. He then wanted to throw a ball so I took him out on the field and we played catch for a while, a huge smile came upon his face. He said that feel of the dirt on the ball field and the grass beneath his feet was something he missed for such a long time, the man was so overjoyed that he knelt down right there on the field and thanked God for those few minutes of happiness. Unfortunately the man's knees gave him such pain that he could hardly walk and he was not able to stay around and play the game, but he left smiling.
Let's not take for granted the gifts that we have, enjoy, be thankful, be kind to one another.
June 5, 2013
Larry Leikam Will be missing a few games in the upcoming weeks. Larry has to undergo a series of radiation treatments for skin cancer that has appeared on his face. Let's hope he has a good outcome and a quick recovery so he can return to the ball park soon. Hang in there Larry.
They are predicting quite a bit of rain for the rest of the week so it looks like we may miss a game or two ourselves, let's hope for dry weather for Friday.
Thank you to all who have made contributions at our weekly games and to those who have found or are trying to find additional sponsors, keep up the good work.
May 28, 2013
Thank you to all of you who participated in our Memorial Day get together. This was by far one of the best gatherings we've had in a while.
Special Thanks go out to :
Eddie for the fantastic job he did providing the non stop music for the event, the quality and variety was outstanding, keeping everyone tapping their toes.
Frank Woodsby for once again providing tasty food and fixings from his Koffee Kup Restaurant in St. Cloud.
Bob Evans Restaurant Kissimmee, for providing those excellent sandwiches which quickly did a disappearing act.
Julio Medina and members of the committee for all their hard work and planning to make all this possible.
Your contributions will enable us to have more and better events in the future.

We were all so thankful and touched by having all of the softball players honor my dad. It brought lots of tears when we saw you and heard how much you liked my dad. He loved coming to play each week and was not happy when he couldn't. When he told me that he wouldn't be able to play anymore, it was like a part of him was cut off.
Please let all of the players know how much we appreciate them.

It is with deep regrets that we announce the passing of John Davison.
John had been a member of our league since its beginning some 20 years ago,
he loved the game and was a great inspiration to all the players especially the younger ones.
He was loved by all who met him and will surely be missed.
Visitation will be on Sunday from 4-6 at
Osceola Memorial Gardens in St. Cloud
The service will be on Monday at 10 am at
St. Cloud Presbyterian.
We have been asked to be Honorary Pallbearers at John's service on Monday,
please try to attend.

Message regarding John Davison;
The End of My Dad's Journey
May 4, 2013
After eighty-eight years, my dad is close to the end of his journey in this life. He has deteriorated quickly in the last few days. Yesterday, we placed him under the care of Hospice who has him on 24 hour crisis care. They are managing his symptoms and keeping him as comfortable as possible.
On Thursday, we had a family discussion about what should be done. Mom and dad both said they didn't want to go to the hospital anymore or be poked or jabbed since there didn't seem to be hope of long term success. They wanted to be kept comfortable and were ready to go to heaven.
After being assured that my mom would be ok if he went first, he slept very soundly. Instead of taking him back to the hospital because of more problems from the prostate cancer, we called Hospice.
Overnight he became much weaker with his body reacting to all that is going on. Thankfully, he is in little pain. He is conscious occasionally.
Mother is nearby and knows he is slipping away. Though still very weak, she is better than she has been in a while. After being married for almost sixty-eight years, losing a spouse is like having a part of your body taken away. She is handling the situation well and is also tired of many years with her own health issues.
Please continue to pray for all of us.

Note from John Davison
John Davison (email@example.com)Add to contacts 12:13 PM
To: email@example.com
Hi to all, I had planned to write a note sooner, but after you have had several procedures, and several hospital visits it is sometimes difficult to concentrate. We are now temporally living with our son and daughter-in-law near Moss Park road and 15. We certainly appreciate their hospitality. Marjorie is feeling better and is getting stronger every day. We have care givers 24-7.
Thanks for your visits, cards, calls, concerns, and prayers. Softball has been a big part of my life the last 20 some years, I miss playing and the camaraderie. Having had a stroke, cardiac arrest, four hospital visits and several procedures, it feels like my life has been turned up side down. I walk every day and do some exercises. We are trying to keep a good attitude and have faith that the Lord's will, will be done.
Hope all of you are well, happy, and are enjoying your softball while you can. John Davison

What a great turnout we had on Friday, four teams with 13 or 14 men on each. Luckily our organizing skills are getting better, we had the games going on time, the teams were more or less evenly matched the rain held off, and of course a good time was had by all.
None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of our committee members, don't forget we will have elections coming up soon so if you would like to be considered let us know.
Dean Droz decided not to play and instead umpired on Friday so he had to release his energy in another way, check him out on this little video:
Mon. March 11, 2013
Looks like some guys forgot to reset their clocks, we just barely had enough to squeeze out four teams today. Those who didn't show up missed out on a gorgeous spring day and a great softball game . Leo Viti, one of the founding fathers of our league was in the park today and managed to play a couple of innings with us before he had to rush back to take care of his lovely wife Ann whom we all know and love.
New member Gary Brown writes;
Angel, I met Julio today and he was very nice to me. I had a blast today and look forward to my next experience playing softball with a great bunch of guys from your league. Everyone treated me like I belonged, and I am very grateful for that. Thanks for everything, I hope to see you next Monday.
March 4, 2013
We had a light turnout, just barely enough to make two teams. The cold morning must have kept all the wusses at home. It was a little chilly but the sun was shining brightly doing its best to warm our old bones and when the breeze died down it just a perfect day to play softball. You shoulda been there.
John Davison is presently at the same nursing home as his wife while he contemplates where he will reside in the future. John's wife is now under hospice care at the nursing home, John however, is reportedly doing better and is able to get around. As soon as I get any information regarding visiting etc., I will let you know.
Feb, 27, 2013
John Davison is still at Dr. Phillips Hospital, he is now out of intensive care and is improving and hoping to leave the hospital soon. He thanks everyone for their prayers and good wishes. The telephone number at the hospital is 407-351-8500 he is in room 3042. If you call please keep your conversation sweet and brief.

Our Banquet was a great success and that was due to the efforts of all the following to whom we express a big Thank You;
The committee, especially Julio Medina, Victoria Frisenda for providing the location, Betsy Medina and her crew from Bob Evans for the food service,
Joe Matos and Cal Goggans for the entertainment, Dean Droz and Bruce Katz and their assistants for their jobs setting up and cleaning up.

Our aim is to continue improving our organization so if anyone has any suggestions or contributions to make please let us know.
We will continue our pickup games on Monday and Friday mornings at Denn john Park.
Jan 11, 2013
Good news, most of those on the disabled list are up and around, Joe Orr is doing fine and playing again, John Davison is up and around and was even able to show up today and cheer for his team, Diego Luquis is still recovering but he was also able to come by and say hello to everyone. George Riddick is on and off he was able to play in the Half Century league this past weekend but managed to hurt himself again thus missing our games for the third week in a row.
Allstate scored what is unheard of in our league, a big fat
against Kohlmeyer losing 2 - 0 in their first game, fortunately they were able to save face in the second game winning 18 - 16.
We are trying to get a head count for our banquet to be held on Saturday February 23rd from 6 - 10 PM at Sugarmill in St. Cloud, please let your manager know if you will be attending.
The USSSA will have a free umpires clinic on Saturday January 19th from 9 am - 12 , at Fortune Road athletic complex. This clinic will be for those wanting to improve their umpiring skills and those interested in becoming certified umpires.
Ron, I think I got your name right this time.
Jan 7, 2013
The weather was a little iffy but the clouds cleared up and the sun shone through for us making the day even better than it already was. It was great to see everyone show up after our Holiday recess. Unfortunately there were a couple of absences, Joe Orr was getting some work on his heart ( stent), and John Davison was in the hospital passing a blood clot. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to both of these fellow teammates whom we miss dearly.
Dec. 17, 2012
You can't keep a good man down, John Davison was able to make it to the game today and we were all very happy to see him.
All teams played hard today and it showed because every team won one and lost one thus retaining their position in the standings.
Not all members will be able to make it on Friday the 21st, our last game until next year so I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of all the board members to wish a
to all our members and their families, to all our sponsors and our friends. Here's hoping that next year will be better than this one in all ways for everyone.
Dec. 14, 2012
After 18 games played the each team seems to be playing better and better. Kohlmeyers seems to have resolved their shortage of players problem and is clawing its way up from the bottom. Bob Evans for now seems to be solidly in first place (even without Julio).Maybe if the managers of Koffee Kup weren't cruising and casinoing all the time they might be out of the basement (just kidding).
The other teams are all chugging away giving it their best. I have seen some pretty amazing plays for a bunch of old guys, keep up the good work and enjoy yourselves, we have a lot of games left.
John Davis' wife was being moved to a nursing home and it seems doubtful that he will be returning this season say alittle prayer for them.
Nov 30, 2012
We missed John Davison on Friday, he was at the bedside of his wife Marjorie who is in the hospital in intensive care. John and Marjorie have been married 67 years and I'm sure this is a very difficult situation for them both and their family. Please take a minute to say a little prayer for them for the best possible outcome.
Nov. 19, 2012
A little chilly and very cloudy but not bad enough to stop us from playing today. Kohlmyers was a little worried today that they might not have enough players and may have to forfeit but at the last minute enough players showed up. They were so energized that they went on to win two in a row against Koffee Kup. Its good to see Benny out there supporting his team even though he is still unable to play .
Sadly Joint Maneuvers will be losing Ramon for the rest of the season due to severe pain from a pinched nerve, we wish him the best for a speedy recovery. Everyone rest up and have a great Thanksgiving. Next game will be on November 30, 2012.
Nov. 12, 2012
Today we paused to salute our veterans. (
see photos
) The Reverend Jim Fox led us in prayer and Cal Goggans once again sang his wonderful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.
We played our games under beautiful Autumn weather and fortunately I didn't see anyone limping out of the park so we must be in better shape or getting smarter. Have fun be safe.
November 5, 2012
Parade, singing,ceremony.
Thanks to all the sponsors who participated, all the guests and fans. Thanks also to John Diaz for those wonderful words of inspiration and to Cal Goggans for that fantastic rendition of the National Anthem.
October 26, 2012
The day started out a little iffy due to the early morning showers caused by hurricane Sandy but things cleared up and the players showed up and we had two very competitive but fun games. The winds were really gusting in the outfield but luckily no one hit any over the fence.
A couple of trades have been made to help teams that were lacking pitchers or first basemen or shortstops. We should have the teams evened out in time for opening day which is still scheduled for November 5th. The commitee will be meeting with the parks department on Tuesday to finalize the schedule. Hopefully we will be able to have our practice on Friday November 2nd at Fortune Road fields so that our new members can get familiar with the location.
How's that for an update Larry?
October 18, 2012
Today the board members met to go through the team selection process for the new season scheduled to start in November. Attending the meeting as observers were Gabe Robinson, Cal Goggans, Dave Brown, Frank Woodsby Joe Matos and John Davison.
Great care was taken to select teams that were as evenly matched as possible, Managers will be given the opportunity to do a little trading if necessary. Starting Friday Karl will try to keep the teams together as he sets up our remaining games at Denn John. The next step will be to meet with the parks department and firm up our schedule and we'll be set to go for our opening daay on November 5th.
October 1, 2012
Another beautiful day for softball in Kissimmee, unfortunately last night's rains left a number of large puddles on one of the fields making it unplayable. Once again we were faced with a big turnout, enough for four teams plus, so we played all four teams on one field, two teams played a full inning then the other two took the field. Overall things ran smoothly except that with all the sitting time there was quite a bit of socializing and some players lost track of whose turn it was to be on the field or on the bench, and we didn't finish until almost 12PM , but we had a good time and it was better than not playing at all.
You may have seen some new faces around, that's due to more people finding out about us and the good times we're having here.
Some players still haven't paid their fees for the upcoming season, make sure you pay up so you won't be left out.
September 3, 2012
Labor Day once again, it seems that time is just flying by, and what a great day for softball. We had a fantastic turnout today of our members and some visitors who decided to join us. Pete Edwards quickly organized the players into four teams and off went, fortunately both fields were available and playable. We played two fun filled games working up a thirst and appetite preparing for our picnic which followed the game. We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the occasion with food drinks and barbecuing paper goods etc. and as usual thanks to Joe for providing the music. The cornhole tournament was a big success and provided lots of laughs and entertainment, thanks to Julio for providing the game and organizing the tournament. Thanks to everyone who stayed and made the barbecue a success. Don't forget, registration is now going on for our upcoming season get registered so you don't get left out

- 1) After tying the game up 6-6-6 yesterday our team went on to score 5 more runs, earning praise for both winning & saving the league from being damned by the devil for eternity.
2) So everyone is clear.. the possibility of having
a fall "mini" league depends on a committee vote.
The survey I took was just that, a survey to see if there'd be interest.
3) If you'd like to have a relatively quiet 4th of July celebration on July 3rd then bring your favorite BBQ items and perhaps a few sparklers and we'll picnic after the games.
4) Welcome back
Dean 'Dino' Droz
after long rehab stint. Though he wasn't thrilled with his hitting it was nice to see his hustle to first on one AB that kept him from being doubled up.
Also welcome newcomer Ron Montgomery.
fter batting practice we had a 9-inning 5 to 4 game. Good game, but with 1 team not scoring in 5 innings & the other shutout in 7, maybe we should've had batting practice after the game.
2) The
link that contains phone #'s & emails should be correct now. Now when you call Rey you won't be talking to Randy and calling the other Ray won't get you Raul.
And re, the June 18 blog below: I did not do what I said I'd do at the committee meeting mainly because we didn't have the meeting. Will announce when the committee will meet next.
June 19
- two hotly contested come-from-behind wins on each field as temps hit 100. Our team lost an 8-0 lead & blamed the dreaded Field 1, first base dugout (110 in the non-shade).
June 18
- Current La Liga Mini survey results:
48 Yes; 5 Likely
; 6 Possible; 7 No; 36 No Responses; 20 inactive.
Given these #'s I'll suggest starting the planning phase of this league at the upcoming committee meaning on Tuesday… I'll also bring up a handful of ideas that have been brought up to me informally, i.e., changing batting practice to accommodate all, choosing pickup game teams by choosing managers,
addressing the new "on deck" rule, enforcing pitching net rules, setting time aside occasionally for "super-competitive" games, etc., as well as bringing up better ways to bring up ideas to the committee (
if you have an idea of how ideas to the committee could be brought, bring them to me informally until we have a way to bring them up formally)
Temperatures are getting hotter but Wed. it seemed tempers were a bit milder. We can't control the former but we should be able to control the latter
(well maybe not but we can always try).
So here's hoping the overall climate can become more temperate - hash tags: #attempt-to-temper-a-temper & #pray-for-cold-front-&-a-return-to-lo-90's
(whatever hash tag means).
June 13
- La Liga Mini?
Fancy a four
five week, four
five team league on Fridays in the fall? Figure fielding fifty for it to be fairly feasible to form. Feel free to forward feedback if for it.
First step if interested is to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with a
es or
ikely (questions welcome) or sign in to next week's games with a
instead of check mark (DON'T CALL). After Friday's game we already have 33 members interested. Creating teams that will last longer than 1 day seems like a nice change of pace and having it on Fridays would still allow those who can't commit to play Monday & Wednesdays. Thinking that each team would play each other twice with a final week playoff. Nice as well to have official umpires who seem to do better at keeping conflict and strife at a minimum given the current level of agitation and aggravation that exists that tends to agitate and aggravate those who come to relax & enjoy themselves.
Speaking of strife, we had 2 fairly conflict-free games on Wed. & Fri. - at least compared to Mon. - as I've was told. Hearing about it reminded me of a quote from the late Rodney King (not his original quote of "ow, ow ow ow"), "
can't we all just get along
". Guess a senior league is gonna have a high percentage of cranky old men, but c'mon guys ease up a bit & have some fun.
May 29
Two more competitive, if not very artistic, games - 13 to12 & 19 to15.. Hi-lights on Field 2 included a multi-hit game by Del and some sparkling defense by Mario and Jim P. for the winning team. Lo-lights are not included due to space considerations.
: One more thing about deadlines for pickup games. On
it will be
10 a.m
Check-in by 10 am [or call in by 10 and arrive by 10:15]
to play. Phone #'s to call are a few lines below. So that's 9 a.m. for Mon. & Fri. and 10 a.m. for Wed. as arrival time cut-off.
May 26
Good fun and good food with good people made for a
day yesterday for our family members and our softball family. Thank you to Mike & Arturo for organizing. Thanks to all the wives for their contributions and their company. Thanks to Eddie on music, Joey on the grill, & everyone else who helped create the feast and festivities. Grateful too for the rain holding off.
Players/Picnickers were given a one-day reprieve on checking in or calling in by 9 a.m. But Memorial Day will be the last day that late-comers will be allowed to play. Remember, if you're going to be late call (don't text) before 9 am. If not on vacation Mike and Dave are usually there by 8:30 Mon. & Fri. and the same for me on Fri. Our cell phone #s are
Dave @ 407-709-2001 Mike @ 772-359-8415 or Gene @ 321-662-7470
. Suggestion: enter those numbers into your phone so you don't have to run around looking for them (Note: If you've never tried, click on MEMBERS link above and you'll find approx. 125 players with their phone #'s & email addresses. BTW if you have an email and it's not listed please email me at my email address [email@example.com… but you knew that cause you went to the MEMBERS list]) with your email address.
And note, it will also be the last day those who play pickup games and didn't play in the league can do so without paying their 2015 member fees.
Though Wed. is hump day I now know it as "grump day" or "take-my-lumps day" or "dump on this chump day" (I can keep going) with a higher than acceptable level of crankiness over team set-ups. To me there are no good answers when we have 27 to 29 players - the dreaded 3 team with too few on each or the terrible 2 teams with too many. Since we start late, three teams take forever & gets extra chaotic when players leave "early" (11:30 - 12:30). But having 14+ players on a team can be even more painful... especially for the manager. But until it's decided on in our next committee meeting I have decided to work hard for 2 teams. For 18 to 28 players we'll have 2 teams and from 29-35 players I'll first try to get the numbers down to 28 by suggesting to those on the fence about playing they get off the fence and get in their car & go home… but I refuse to put 15 on a team so if we end up with 30 to 35 we'll go with 3.
Speaking of committee meetings & Wednesdays last week we had our May meeting. We talked about changing batting practice to include only 1 round (12 pitches? 10? or was it 2 rounds of 5 or 6?) with those who'd rather get a second round than play a pickup game staying on Field 1 to do so. I think Mike announced it but I don't think it totally happened, at least on Field 1.
We also planned to get a supply of new balls & rotate them in and out (saw new balls on Monday so guess the plan was an action plan where someone acted according to plan). We also voted in Al C. as a 6th committee member. He's a man of experience, solutions, and action and for that reason we're lucky to have him (won't discuss right now what makes us unlucky).
Some other topics were a yearly calendar, incorporating member ideas, sponsorship planning, senior bats, check-in sheet changes, possible fall tournaments, & the picnic.
In the future I will attempt to update the website a bit at a time so you can finish reading the entry in one sitting. Unfortunately I can't promise ever being twitter-like (more than 140 characters in this sentence) and keep updates short and sweet. If you noticed by now with me 'not
long' and 'not too sour' is the best you can hope for.
