"The zoning law certainly matters."
Why? If the real complaint was over parking, and the zoning law doesn't specifically address parking for preexisting structures, then how is the zoning law really relevant? It's just a pretext, which you've already admitted.
"The law may or may not be an ass in this case, but the occupational licensing and not the zoning was where the confusion arose, yes?"
Actually, I'm not sure. I had thought it was a zoning designation issue. The two are probably connected; the occupational license should reflect the zoning designation.
"The article says "the council rejected his request for a zoning change... it would violate the city's master plan"; you can't think that's a technicality, surely."
Well, it's a technicality if we're dealing with a trivial distinction. The master plan can easily have technical distinctions that don't really have practical effects. I tend to think that there's no practical difference between a busy reception venue and a busy restaurant in terms of neighborhood impacts, but the law draws the distinction regardless. Had they just argued about the innate distinctions between reception halls and restaurants, their argument would have been pretty weak.
"If Sonnier made a written commitment to the neighbors to provide that service and to tell his customers to use it, that would go a long way toward mitigating my objections if I lived nearby."
Well, that's what happened.
"If it were combined with a requirement for residential parking passes only during the restaurant's business hours, that would satisfy my objections fully, the idea being if a patron took my hypothetical spot and I needed to park I'd simply call the private towing company contracted for the job. "
There are no such parking passes issued by the city. They can create 2 hour parking zones and exempt permit holders, but my understanding is that's it. The reason is because it's public parking -- as long as people who don't live there have to move their cars or be ticketed, it should keep parking moving enough to where people can find spots.
"I'd probably ask for legal advice on what I could & couldn't do before investing $550k, but that's just me. :)"
I would too, but the permits should be clear on their face, and frankly shouldn't be divided into endless subcategories.
"As I recall, the Uptowner served as a private home for hosting parties, almost; they didn't have a working kitchen, they hired caterers. The affairs were subdued-- wedding receptions and that sort of thing."
I believe it did have a kitchen and chefs. And it was never a "private home." My understand is that it has always been commercial, and was a grocery before it was turned into a reception hall. Again, just another one of those common businesses common to older neighborhoods.
"again I'm not speaking from a legal perspective..."
"They did, and it was obviously the right tool for the job. :)"
Ok. If the legalities don't matter, and all of this was just pretext, then there's a problem with the law. Mr. Sonnier can say that the legal issue that actually sunk him was a technicality, and with respect to the real issues involved, his opposition had no legal leg to stand on. That means he was wronged.
"And valet parking is likewise wonderful, but the valets aren't magicians, you know; the cars have to go somewhere. :) "
Yes, they were going to go to unused parking lot near Children's Hospital that the Sonnier's could lease. They would not go on the street. There goes the parking issue.
"Sonnier didn't investigate the permitted uses & thus NEEDED the neighbors on his side. He took no pains to win them, they convinced the city to respect the existing zoning, and the rest is history."
Actually, Sonnier did have the support of a decent number of people in the neighborhood, he just didn't get the organization on his side and some entrenched business interests opposed him. Furthermore, as has been noted, the permit appeared to authorize him to operate a restaurant on its face.
"You seem to think the neighbors should have expected commercial uses other than what the property was zoned for, and that line of thought strikes me as unreasonable."
Again, the zoning was odd at best. And zoning that distinguishes between a reception hall and a restaurant is a bit odd, to say the least. Those are extremely similar businesses.
"Eh, I grew up Uptown and no one I knew had off-street parking."
There's a decent number of homes with off street parking around uptown. If it's something you prefer when buying a home, it's something you can get.
"Well, obviously not; they couldn't care less about the success of the business if their parking was left alone, I'm sure. "
It wasn't "their" parking. It's public parking. However, tomorrow a successful reception hall could move in and take up the parking in the area five days a week and there would be nothing the neighbors could do about it. This wasn't about a restaurant opening -- it was about neighbors wanting to imposed a parking requirement that doesn't even exist under the law. They used the zoning designation as an excuse.
"You say that, then you go on to mention the cases in which it applies."
It doesn't apply anywhere, period. It's inherent in tort law. This is basic hornbook stuff; I wouldn't even to cite it in a legal brief.
"My opinion isn't meant as a legal pronouncement; it's simply what I myself think."
Has any moral philosopher ever agreed with this either? Does it have any background whatsoever? I've never heard of any coherent moral doctrine that holds a person responsible for the way things they own are used simply because they loan them out, regardless of whether it was negligent to loan them out (i.e., there was no specific reason to think they would be used improperly). Frankly, at this point I think you're just clinging to this odd notion out of inertia, because you don't want to admit fault.
"Tort law has a different definition of negligence..."
Indeed it does, but your definition of "negligence" doesn't make any sense. Again, it's like saying that if I loan a kitchen knife to my neighbor and he goes on a stabbing spree, I should be responsible for the damaged caused. That's silly. In the entirety of human history, I have never heard of a society that transfers moral blame from the actor to another party based on nothing more than loaning out items. Seriously, if you know of a philosopher who has set forth such a view, or a society that's been based on that, it would be interesting to hear. However, I suspect that nobody's moral intuition save yours has reached this conclusion.
"With automated violations, the officer is not, so the parking ticket principle applies."
No, because with automated enforcement, that's not the only way to enforce the violation and as I've explained, automated enforcement doesn't even require that you hold the owner solidarily liable because you can actually photograph the driver. It's not comparable to parking tickets; I've already explained why more than once.
"Very honestly, that's what I think of your stance."
My stance comports with Western law since inception and virtually every moral philosophy known to man, and it's what's warped? You know, being able to spout words in support of an idea doesn't mean you have a valid argument. I still haven't seen any reasonable argument in support of your position.
I didn't notice that you'd responded to this again, and as much as I hate the labor the point again, I'll address your points:
"Not what I said; I used the word "control," meaning whatever someone does with YOUR car is as if you yourself had done it."
Legally, this is not true. There is solidary liability with respect to automated traffic enforcement and parking tickets. With parking tickets the reason is that enforcement would be impossible if you did not ticket the owner. With automated traffic enforcement, the reason is to make facilitate the particular method of enforcement. I think that's wrong because the owner of the vehicle did nothing blameworthy, and yet is being held responsible to facilitate a particular method of enforcement that you yourself admit is designed as a "cash cow."
However, you are simply wrong when you claim that society is holding people morally responsible for other people's traffic offenses. This is purely an enforcement issue. Tort law, on which these laws are based, does not hold the owner of a car responsible for for violations unless the owner was actually negligent in loaning out the car.
"In fact, it IS the case with this particular moving violation, for the reason you stated ("only practical way to enforce"), and I see you don't like that idea."
No, it's not. With moving violations, the driver is present and available to be ticketed. With parking violations, the person is not. We have enforced traffic laws since the days of horses and buggies without ticketing the owners. The only reason the City of New Orleans has made owners solidarily liable is to make enforcement a little bit cheaper.
As I noted before, many if not most automated traffic enforcement systems require the city to prove that the person ticketed was the driver, and they use multiple cameras to photograph the driver so that evidence is obtained on the spot. The only reason why the city doesn't do this is because such a system is more expensive.
"He probably won't be tried IF he can convince the investigators he had nothing to do with it[.]"
Bottom line: Your analogy was inapt. If anything it proved my case, because you'd still have to show actual negligence on the part of the gun's owner. We can move on from that now.
"[Y]ou have yet to say where the responsibility for the automated moving violations should lie[.]"
It shouldn't lie anywhere unless the city can prove who actually committed the violation. If I lose a hammer and somebody gets bludgeoned to death with it, you can't throw me in jail if you can't find the murderer simply because "somebody" has to answer for the crime. When an offense is committed, you're supposed to go after the person who actually commits the offense.
"The only possible result of your argument is that no one bears the responsibility, and that's why it's not acceptable in my view."
I'm trying to be respectful here, but I think that's a warped point of view. It's like my analogy above -- you're basically saying: "We know somebody did something wrong, and somebody has to pay, so let's go after somebody who isn't actually responsible." That's a wrong and disturbing stance.
"[I]t seems to me the city chose a perfect population from which to extract the cash. It's self-selected and unsympathetic in the extreme, as I see no excuse for running a red light."
Actually, I think there are some cases where running a red light could be the safest course of action. If you're being tailgated and concerned about being rear-ended, I can see running a red light to avoid an accident, particularly if you're driving, say, a motorcycle and will be killed if you hit the brakes. Also, if the yellow light is set too short, in some cases there may not really be sufficient time to brake properly. These aren't the norm, but they happen.
Irrespectively, the burden should still rest on the city to prove the guilt of the person running the red light. And the city shouldn't be going after people who didn't even run red lights. And the city should increase yellow light times to proper engineering standards, rather than keeping them too low (i.e., less than 4 seconds at multi-lane intersections) to increase revenue.
Finally, I don't think enforcement of traffic laws should ever be a "cash cow." It creates bad incentives for government. Other cities have actually been caught purposely manipulating yellow light times to increase revenue, something that makes intersections less safe. That's more than I want to get into here, but you get the picture.
A reception hall does as much business as it can get. The Uptowner wasn't very successful; if it had been, you could have expected parking issues for several days out of every week. Would it have been better if Gabrielle's had promised to offer bad food and service, so that not many people would eat there?
Also, they were going to open with valet parking to minimize parking issues, and in any case, restaurants do not normally generate major parking issues every day -- they have slow days early in the week, and do more business towards the weekend. The Uptowner, on the other hand, could have been booked every day of the week and cause severe parking issues each time. This is one of the weakest arguments I've seen against Gabrielle's.
I do sympathize with that. A business operating in a residential area needs to curb externalities like noise and littler. The city should have taken more sustained action to ensure that they minimized these problems. When the city failed to eliminate the problems, I think it would have been appropriate to bring a suit alleging that the business created a nuisance. Then you could have gotten an enforceable injunction requiring them to clean up litter and abate noise (or close down at a more reasonable hour).
On the other hand, I disagree that parking is a real concern here. If there was a commercial building there, and you knew that when you originally bought, then you had to know that a business might take up a great deal of the parking around there. If you bought a house with no off-street parking, you were simply gambling that a successful business wouldn't move in. The noise and litter issues are perfectly valid concerns -- the parking issue sounds like you're pleading for an entitlement that simply doesn't exist.
Also, in this case Gabrielle's was going to have valet parking, which would have minimized parking issues somewhat and also curbed noise from patrons returning to their vehicles. Mr. Sonnier made perfectly reasonable concessions that would have increased his own expenses, and yet he was slapped down anyway. There was no excuse for it.
There are many properties available uptown with off-street parking. I should know; I've owned two houses here, both with off street parking. You may pay extra for that, but if you choose not to do so, and you also live near a commercial property, you have nothing to complain about if parking issues arise later. People need to realize that there is no right to street parking and that commercial properties will go through different owners that generate different parking issues.
Here, the only reason the Uptowner generated fewer parking issues than Garbrielle's would have is because the Uptowner had not been very successful. If the Uptowner had been booked almost every night, the problems would have been similar. The groaning from neighbors was over the fact that an unsuccessful business was being replaced by a comparable, more successful business, and that's silly and petty.
Were the buildings commercial at the time you moved in? If so, I'm still not sure that you had a valid complaint about the businesses being there per se. Now, if the restaurants were creating a public nuisance, violating noise ordinances, etc., that's another issue and you could have sought relief for those issues, either through criminal or civil enforcement.
What is unwarranted, in my view, is trying to prevent a restaurant from opening to begin with, particularly in a commercial building.
It was a commercial building, PERIOD. I don't know if you've been in New Orleans long, but there are actually businesses mixed in with neighborhoods here. There's a tradition of neighborhood bars, restaurants and groceries. When zoning was introduced, these businesses were grandfathered in. What we're seeing here is a concerted effort to excise these businesses from New Orleans neighborhoods and secure surburban-style zoning for New Orleans.
That building was used for commercial purposes long before any of the surrounding residents bought their homes. They had no reason to believe that it would be converted to residential use, and it's not good for the city to require that.
You know what? I live across the street from a grocery that serves ready-to-go food, and I also live around the corner from restaurants and bars. But you know what else? I knew that I moving in near commercial properties when I moved in. I had no expectation that I wouldn't suffer from some negative externalities. If you don't want to have to deal with loud customers, trash, parking issues, etc., don't move nearby to commercial properties. New Orleans has mixed-use neighborhoods and doesn't have a suburban layout. If you want a suburban layout where residential and commerical uses are completely separate, move to Metairie. Stop trying to change the city.
I don't care what happens to "working people" when they come home. They bought homes lacking off-street parking near a commercial property. They have no reasonable expectation of having street parking at all times. I also agree that there is a decent amount of parking in the area and any inconvenience would have been minimal. This was a travesty.
"As for my theory, it's more like this: As the car owner, you have a duty to maintain control of your vehicle. You may not evade that duty by any voluntary action, such as lending the car to another. The car is still technically in your custody, and the responsibility yours, unless the car is sold, stolen or no longer in existence."
Actually, as a car owner, you do not have any duty to maintain constant possession of your vehicle. There is no law that says that. The law could prohibit loaning out cars, it does not. The law could hold owners civilly liable for all torts performed by any person driving the car, regardless of whether the person was the owner -- but it doesn't. The law could hold owners responsible for normal traffic tickets, but that has never been true, anywhere. You may think that this should be the case, but it is emphatically not the law and never has been.
The only issue here is that holding the owner solidarily liable makes automated traffic enforcement, i.e., the red light cameras, less expensive to operate. That's the only reason they included solidary liability against the owner. There has never been any legal provision making an owner liable for all moving violations committed with his car regardless of whether he was the driver. Also, as I noted before, most jurisdictions with automated traffic enforcement do not have solidary liability. Hell, even New Orleans' law exempts rental car companies from solidary liability, and they lend out cars to people they don't even know! For money! So much for your principle.
"Eh, I can think of cases in which that might not be true, and other cases in which the loan would involve the lender in legal difficulties. Mr. Altruism gives Buddy his handgun to pawn; Buddy shoots the pawnshop owner. Think Mr. A's in hot water when they run its serial number? I do too."
I think only the owner of a gun can legally sell it to a dealer with a federal firearms license. In any event, you're wrong here. If Mr. Altruism loaned his gun to Buddy, who not a minor, is not insane and has no violent criminal record, and Buddy went and shot somebody, we would not hold Mr. Altruism responsible for the shooting. He wouldn't be subject to any liability by the State, and in a civil case with the victim's family, the only issue would be whether he was negligent in loaning out the firearm, not whether he was responsible for all of Buddy's actions simply by virtue of the fact that he owned the gun and loaned it out. That's the law, at least in most of the country (some states have stricter gun laws).
"In the case of automated moving violations, yes, by all means they should go with the vehicle like parking tickets do."
Parking violations are assigned to the owner because it's impossible to ticket the driver. If we could ticket the driver, we would, but we can't. They're not in the car. The only practical way to enforce parking violations is to ticket the owner, so we do that, because the alternative is to have no parking laws. This is not the case with moving violations. When a police officer stops somebody for speeding, running a stop sign, or heck -- for running over a thousand pedestrians -- they either ticket or arrest the driver. They don't care who owned the car, because the law doesn't deem them culpable. Never has. And why should it? They didn't run the red light. The only thing they're responsible for was loaning out their car, which is a perfectly legal act and not morally blameworthy.
Again, what has happened here is the City of New Orleans wanted a cash cow with the red light cameras, so they decided to hold owners solidarily liable. Forcing the city to prove who the driver was, although possible, would have been more expensive. Accordingly, they didn't do it. However, I don't think anybody ever bought into this nonsense about the owner of a vehicle being blameworthy for nothing more than letting a friend borrow their car. It isn't just that I disagree with you; I really don't think you have a credible argument.
"My judgement of irresponsibility in the hypothetical borrower comes from you: "What if they can't pay? What if they're a jerk and deny that they were driving? . . . Don't let anyone borrow your car unless you're willing to cover that person's tab."
First all, that just means they're a jerk (which you may not have known before) or they're poor (which isn't itself irresponsible). In any event, I can think of a thousand scenarios in which a person might loan their car to a friend or acquaintance because they have some pressing need. That's altruism, and it's something we should encourage. You, on the other hand, would punish a person for doing nothing more than letting a person borrow their car based on some convoluted theory that they are blameworthy if that person commits a moving violation.
Your theory is basically this -- If I loan something to somebody, and they use it in an illegal way, then I am automatically responsible for their actions because I loaned the thing to an irresponsible person. That's irrational. It's a post hoc fallacy. The negligence of the person borrowing the thing was an intervening cause. The evidence you're relying on for the individual's irresponsibility all spawns from *after* the car was borrowed. As I said, if you loan your car to a person who either doesn't have a license or is intoxicated, there is some basis for holding you partially responsible for any damage that results from his actions. However, simply loaning your car to a person -- without more -- is not a blameworthy act and you have set forth no viable argument to the contrary.
"You and I disagree entirely on this point; you posit a "friend" who shrugs off responsibility for his misdeeds onto you, and you, in turn, shrug off the responsibility, yet someone must pay the fine. "
Nobody but the person who actually commits the violation should have to pay the fine. You know, I haven't brought this up yet, but in other jurisdictions with red light cameras they actually use multiple cameras to photograph the driver. In those jurisdictions, it is a defense that you were not the person driving. The New Orleans City Council was too cheap to require this. And of course, if an officer wrote the ticket, the owner of the vehicle could not be held responsible -- only the driver. The only reason we're even talking about holding the owner responsible is to facilitate automated enforcement. It takes severe moral obtuseness not to see how that's wrong.
You're talking nonsense. First of all, not all people who run a red light are irresponsible in a general sense, and in any event, there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to let a friend borrow a car without being held liable for their moving violations. Simply loaning a car to a person is not a criminal offense and, unless they're drunk or have no license, isn't a negligent or blameworthy act.
You're struggling so much to justify the red light cameras that you're willing to argue that a perfectly blameless act -- letting a friend borrow a car -- justifies solidary liability for their moving violations. There's no reason for that; it's completely ridiculous.
"Don't run the light, don't get a ticket simple."
This is a dishonest argument. As I previously noted, the ordinance does not require that the person receiving the ticket actually ran a red light.
I've never received a red light camera ticket. Look, if you can't defeat our arguments, attacking us personally with incorrect assumptions is no substitute. The cameras are indefensible, at least in their current form.
What if they can't pay? What if they're a jerk and deny that they were driving? The ordinance makes the owner solidarily liable irrespective of fault. It's not fair, and no amount of mental gymnastics will make it fair. This has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with money.

Recipe by Deb in Jupiter, Florida
"Finally mastered this dish after about a dozen tries! Great low-carb side dish to replace mashed potatoes. Like I said above, I have made this at least a dozen times and feel I have perfected it! Fool around with it some, but I have found these ingredients, cutting as much stem off, and squeezing all the water out really make this delicious! You can add a splash of milk to make it even creamier."

1 head
cauliflower, cut into florets
1/4 cup
Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon
cream cheese at room temperature
2 teaspoons
chicken soup base
2 teaspoons
roasted garlic, or to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons
butter at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon
milk, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Great recipe! I forgot to add the parmesan cheese and I thought it still tasted great! I used a vegetable steamer for the cauliflower so I skipped the step about draining and using paper towels. I also added the milk and didn't have any problems with it being too watery. I'll definitely make this again!
Did not enjoy the garlic flavour combined with the taste of the cauliflower at all.

My son & husband reaaly liked this recipe. In fact my son (25 yrs old) thought they were potatoes...lol. It was pretty easy to make and satisfying. The only drawback is it only
yields 2 cups, which means no second helpings or
leftovers :/ Note: I skipped the milk, it seemed fine w/o it.
Thanks for the recipe, Deb! It is a keeper for sure :)
Wonderful recipe, everything came together. Did add a bit more milk because when I started to mix it started flying out of the bowl. Soup base essential to flavorings.
Very good!!
I thought this was very good, and will definitely make it again. I followed the recipe exactly.
This recipe is very good! I was pleasently surprised. Of course I would rather have mashed potatoes, but this is a great substitute. My teens even liked it. I would absolutely recommend this recipe!
I had to cook my cauliflower a lot longer than 10' and I still wasnt able to get it to mash so I put it in a skillet and cooked till it was browned Not very good but I am sure this is Cook error.

So, if i bought it, worst case scenario, what would be the cost of fixing it?
Im thinking that if the hard drive is bad im going to take it out and replace it with a compact flash card, if not, leave it in.
So ive come up with this, assuming that EVERY single thing does not work, but i need some help as this is a very very very rough estimate.
New logic board-$45-55 (ebay)
New battery $20-35 (ebay)
New hard drive (CF flash card), 4gb ($35-$60), may want bigger one, but i want to know if the hard drive it comes with works first.
Click wheel $??? Am i the only one doubting anything would be wrong with the click wheel? I dont know.
So, worst case possible $150, which is more expensive than another mini, and since nobody is looking for an imac g3 and wants to trade me (LOL, dont blame ya) But i get the satisfaction knowing i can upgrade the storage (opposed to nano)
What do you think? What should i do? I think im gonna go for it, i doubt that EVERYTHING will not work, correct me?
ive never had a hard drive ipod before, and had a horrible experience with a 1st get nano (screen cracked under hardly NO pressure, apple wouldnt fix it (it was 4 months old) because there was a very small dent in the back caused by a leather case with a button type hook that was hard to push so it dented it. Frustrating...so i spend the money to do it myself, then to find out while i had no screen for a while the battery had somehow completely drained itself and was dead. So i just said heck with it and gave it to my 12 year old brother. Hearing the news, my father immediately went out and bought him a brand new battery (which he didnt want to do when it was mine......), sure hes younger but nice to be thought of.....and its been somehow ticking away ever since, even though having another screen replacement...that one was because i went to visit and i was driving a mower and he was in a trailer and i turned to avoid the cat who darted out into the grass and flipped the trailer. come to find out his nano was in his pocket and screen was smashed. He immediately blamed it on my 'crazy driving'. but honestly, who has their ipod in their pocket while riding on a mower, with ME driving! ha. ANYWAY...lol, but after i gave the nano away i did miss it, so ill give ipod another chance.
Ok, what am i missing in the mini situation?
You're willing to waste money fixing an iPod Mini? Don't get me wrong, I loved mine during the 2 years I used it, but considering you can get a 4gig Nano for $150 brand new....

Supervisors present awards to breast-feeding advocates
Dozens of mothers and their babies packed a meeting Tuesday to hear the Ventura County Board of Supervisors present awards to doctors, child care providers and employers who promote breast-feeding.
In Ventura County, close to 90 percent of new mothers start off breast-feeding, but most give it up within their child's first few months, Renee Mandala, a lactation consultant based in Ventura, told the supervisors.
The annual awards are sponsored by the Breastfeeding Coalition of Ventura County and La Leche League and are part of the groups' efforts to make breast-feeding easier.
Monsanto Co. in Oxnard won a business award; Ventura County won a nonprofit/government employer award; Cindy Thomas, a home care provider at Naval Base Ventura County, won a licensed child care provider award; and Dr. Mizin Kawakasi of Rolling Oaks Pediatricts in Thousand Oaks won a physician award.
All were honored for making breast-feeding easy and culturally accepted, said Patty Zoll, chairwoman of the Breastfeeding Coalition.
"Our motto and our goal is: every baby breast-fed," she said at the supervisors' meeting. "We're looking to influence moms to give their babies the best nutrition they can."

Step 1: Grab some wood
I made one out of rough cut Maple and one rough cut Mahogany with Ebony stain.
Step 2: Prepare the square blank
Step 3: Mount it to your lathe
get the screws and the matching drill bit. Tape off about 1/2" up the bit (maybe a little less), this is simply giving you a visual stopping point (stop when you get to the tape) You do not want to go too deep or use long screws.
After the holes are drilled place the faceplate in position. Now, screw it to your block of wood and mount the faceplat with the block of wood onto your lathe. It's a good time to sand all the edges as well. start with 80 and go up to 320 grit.
Moving on.
I have made something similar, but I have legs coming down at the corners.
Wacked my fingers a few times when I got careless. Wish I had a picture of one to show you.
And thank you for your very special compliments. I really appreciate all of them.
If you want some more info on it I would be happy to answer any and all your questions. :)

WHITLEY COUNTY — All three Whitley County girls track teams competed in IHSAA regional competition Tuesday evening.
At the Warsaw regional, Whitko's Kaitlyn Reed was the county's only automatic qualifier for the June 6 state finals meet. The Whitko sophomore cleared the state qualifying height of 5 feet, 4 inches in the high jump while placing fourth. Reed also competed in the 100-meter dash, but did not qualify for the finals in that event.
OSSIAN — Columbia City's softball team lost in the first round of sectional play Monday against the Mississinewa Indians, 8-2.
Gusting winds blew dirt across the infield and even pop-flies into foul territory at Norwell High School while the Lady Eagles tried to keep their regional hopes alive.
LAGRANGE — Whitko softball took the first step on the road to an IHSAA sectional softball title Monday afternoon with a 13-2 win over the host Lakeland Lady Lakers in the opening round of Sectional No. 21 play.
Whitko took a first-inning lead thanks in part to a Lakeland error. With one out, Anna Ousley singled and went all the way to third when the Lakeland right fielder misplayed the ball. Ousley scored when Whitney Marsh reached on a second Lady Laker error, giving the Wildcats a 1-0 lead after one-half inning of play.
FORT WAYNE — Columbia City's baseball team traveled to Fort Wayne Saturday for a doubleheader against Bishop Dwenger. The Eagles lost both games, 10-0 and 6-3.
Game one opened with seven runs in the first two innings for the Saints.
BRUSHY PRAIRIE — Whitko's baseball team traveled to Prairie Heights on Saturday for a non-conference doubleheader. Whitko took both halves, winning game one 12-5 and taking the second contest 14-7.
"These are two great wins," said Wildcat Head Coach Erik Hisner. "We challenged our players after a tough loss at Tippecanoe Valley and they responded with lots of intensity and focus. I can't say enough about my guys today. They showed a lot of resiliency."
KENDALLVILLE — The last name on the Northeast Hoosier Conference golf championship trophy will belong to Columbia City's Eagles.
Columbia City claimed a three-shot victory over Homestead to win the conference tournament at Cobblestone Golf course on Saturday which, combined with their tie for first place in the regular season standings, gave the Eagles the overall NHC title.
WARSAW — Whitko's Lady Wildcats took to the tennis courts at Warsaw High School for the finals of the IHSAA sectional. Whitko's season came to an end as they fell 5-0 to the host Lady Tigers.
"We won some games," said Whitko Head Coach Chris McGehee. "Our goal was to make the finals. That's the same goal we had for the boys' team. We had three girls that never played tennis before this year. The progress that we made this year in just making it to the finals was great. I am proud of the way they competed."
WARSAW — A sweep of the singles matches gave Whitko's Lady Wildcats a 3-2 win over Tippecanoe Valley in the semi-finals of the Warsaw tennis sectional Thursday evening.
After dropping both doubles matches, the Lady Wildcats came back to take all three singles matches in straight sets to advance to today's sectional finals against host Warsaw, a 5-0 winner over Wawasee in the other semi-final.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's Eagle golf team closed out the regular season portion of its Northeast Hoosier Conference schedule with a 145-177 win over New Haven at Eagle Glen Golf Course.
The Eagle duo of Tyler Green and Spencer Klimek continued an outstanding season, with Green claiming medalist honors with a four-under-par 32, and Klimek also coming in under-par, with a one-under 35.
WHITLEY COUNTY — Whitko's boys track team took home the sectional title and several Whitley County athletes are headed to the regional competition next week.
Churubusco's boys placed fifth in the North Side Sectional, and Columbia City came in 11th in the Goshen Sectional Thursday.
