Video: WEDNESDAY: The City Responds
Video: TUESDAY: $50 For Parking?
Video: $50 Parking Spots; Mayor Brown Calling For Investigation
BUFFALO, N.Y. - Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown is calling on the New York State Attorney General to investigate high parking lot prices near the HSBC Arena during the World Junior Hockey Championships.
As 2 On Your Side reported on Tuesday, some fans attending that day's IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship matchup between the Czech Republic and Canada at the HSBC Arena experienced sticker shock when pulling into a parking lot two blocks from the action, and being asked to pay $50 for parking.
The fans weren't alone.
"That's Outrageous":
"I was very shocked and I think the public was shocked too," said City of Buffalo Commissioner of Parking Kevin Helfer. "Believe me, I understand capitalism and free enterprise...but this doesn't leave a good taste in people's mouth and it's not good for the City of Buffalo," Helfer said.
Even an attendant flagging cars into the lot on Tuesday admitted the price was steep.
"It's outrageous," said Mike Prentice who is employed by the operator of the lot, Pay-2-Park. Prentice also noted that lots across the street from where he was working were charging only $10 or $15.
"It's crazy,...but people are willing to pay it," he said.
When asked by WGRZ-TV whether they provided a car wash for that price, Prentice chuckled and replied, "For fifty bucks we should!"
Paying The Price:
"No way am I spending $50 for parking," said one fan from Canada, who promptly turned his truck around after entering the lot Tuesday and being told the price by an attendant, ...while a woman from Toronto with two excited children in tow only flinched slightly when shelling out the fee. "It's a small price to pay for a tournament like this," she said.
Frank Egana, who was selling hot dogs on the sidewalk outside the lot Tuesday, called what was going on "gouging".
"I've been here since 10 o'clock this morning when it was $40 and now there's a Canadian game with people coming from Canada and they raised it up to $50 because they know it'll be a bigger draw," Egana said.
Something's Changed.
When Team Canada took to the ice again on Wednesday, however, the price at the same lot charging $50 on Tuesday, was only $20 and in fact went down to $15 an hour before face off.
Pay-2-Park still hasn't returned phone calls placed by 2 On Your Side seeking comment, so there's no explanation from the company as to why it was charging less.
Pay-2-Park leases the lot at the former Donovan State Office Building from the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation, according to its Chairman Jordan Levy, who told WGRZ-TV his agency does not dictate to Pay-2-Park what it should charge.
Pay-2-Park is one of the many businesses principally owned by Buffalo developer Mark Croce. Croce told 2 On Your Side he does not involve himself in the day to day operations of the company, but defended what it was charging as a matter of supply and demand in a free market economy ...noting as well that no one was forced to park there.
However, several people who paid the $50 fee Tuesday told 2 On Your Side they were from out of town and simply unaware there were much cheaper alternatives in the immediate vicinity.
The Buffalo Convention and Visitors Bureau plans to post signs directing people to parking alternatives to avoid the high costs.
As for the lot's practice of changing prices just before the games start, Croce says that was likely due to a common business practice which he called "yield management". Croce explained prices may have been lowered in order to fill remaining spaces rather than leave them vacant. Croce compared it to a hotel, which might ordinarily charge $200 per room, letting a room go for half price to someone arriving late at night in order make at least some money on a room which might otherwise remain empty.
The practice didn't sit well with two Torontonians who arrived just before the puck dropped for Tuesday's game, paid the $50, and then saw the price being changed as soon as they parked their vehicle.
Still, at that point, they weren't about to haggle for a refund.
"To be honest, it's been a long drive and at this point we just want to go catch the start of the game," one of them said.
The City Responds:
Peter Cutler, a spokesman for Mayor Brown, says the city is may be able to revoke licenses from parking lot operators that charge more than the maximum price listed on the license request.
Cutler also says companies which contract with the city to operate city owned lots are limited to charging no more than $15 per event.
While the lot run by Pay-2-Park at the former Donovan Building does not fall into that category, Cutler wished to remind all those attending the games that there are many lots in the vicinity charging as low as $7 to park, and to advise that various means of available mass transit can get fans to and from the games for even less than that.

I first used this creme during massage school. After I was on my own I tried less expensive lotions and creams. That was a big mistake! This product is perfect for giving massages!
This creme is a great and smooth creme that you don't need a ton of to massage properly (ie Lotion). It's great for relaxation or treatments massage. So versatile and it smells fabulous. I used the Relaxing Therapeutic Creme for a while and the lavender smell just annoyed me after a while. The smell of this one I just really love. This will not pump, you need a jar or just plop it on your arm, whatever floats your boat. You are not throwing your money away on this. Great value, lasts forever. Creme is the way to go!
Love this creme! I've used several during my 16 year career and this one is definitely my "go to" creme. Glides very nicely, smells fabulous (but not too smelly), neither sticky or greasy. You cannot go wrong with this creme.

There may not be a more recognizable name in the music world than that of Fender. Forever synonymous with popular modern music, Fender is the home of many well-known electric guitars that have become sought after by hobbyists, professionals, and collectors alike. Fender has a wonderfully rich history that dates back to 1946 when Leo Fender founded the company. They offered the first mass-produced solid-body Spanish-style electric guitar, and while they were at it, essentially wrote the book on how to do an electric guitar right, with the legendary Telecaster and Stratocaster being among the most revered guitars of all time.
If you're not one to get caught up in the hype, simply look at a list of artists who are playing Fenders. Legends such as Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Randy Bachman, Dick Dale, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Johnny Marr and Joe Strummer all made their magic on a Fender, while modern guitar heroes like Simon Neil, Tim Armstrong, Jimmy Smith of Foals, Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World, Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio and more continue to rock out on this amazing gear.
Because Fender is so renowned and diverse, its safe to say they make an electric guitar you will instantly fall in love with. From the aforementioned Strats and Teles, to the Mustang, to the Jaguar or Jazzmaster, these guitars are offered in models that fit every need and play level. Left handed or right handed, beginner or pro, the iconic look and sound of a Fender is available for everybody.
A lot has changed since the first Fender guitars were produced over half a century ago, but one thing has not - the dedication to being the best in the world. Fender has built its reputation on forward thinking, diversity, and quality that is second to none. Choosing a Fender guitar for part of, or as the start to, your collection is the smartest decision any musician could make.

Serious threat to the web in Italy
(cross-posted from the Official Google Blog)
In late 2006, students at a school in Turin, Italy filmed and then uploaded a video to Google Video that showed them bullying an autistic schoolmate. The video was totally reprehensible and we took it down within hours of being notified by the Italian police. We also worked with the local police to help identify the person responsible for uploading it and she was subsequently sentenced to 10 months community service by a court in Turin, as were several other classmates who were also involved. In these rare but unpleasant cases, that's where our involvement would normally end.
But in this instance, a public prosecutor in Milan decided to indict four Google employees —David Drummond, Arvind Desikan, Peter Fleischer and George Reyes (who left the company in 2008). The charges brought against them were criminal defamation and a failure to comply with the Italian privacy code. To be clear, none of the four Googlers charged had anything to do with this video. They did not appear in it, film it, upload it or review it. None of them know the people involved or were even aware of the video's existence until after it was removed.
Nevertheless, a judge in Milan today convicted 3 of the 4 defendants — David Drummond, Peter Fleischer and George Reyes — for failure to comply with the Italian privacy code. All 4 were found not guilty of criminal defamation. In essence this ruling means that employees of hosting platforms like Google Video are criminally responsible for content that users upload. We will appeal this astonishing decision because the Google employees on trial had nothing to do with the video in question. Throughout this long process, they have displayed admirable grace and fortitude. It is outrageous that they have been subjected to a trial at all.
But we are deeply troubled by this conviction for another equally important reason. It attacks the very principles of freedom on which the Internet is built. Common sense dictates that only the person who films and uploads a video to a hosting platform could take the steps necessary to protect the privacy and obtain the consent of the people they are filming. European Union law was drafted specifically to give hosting providers a safe harbor from liability so long as they remove illegal content once they are notified of its existence. The belief, rightly in our opinion, was that a notice and take down regime of this kind would help creativity flourish and support free speech while protecting personal privacy. If that principle is swept aside and sites like Blogger, YouTube and indeed every social network and any community bulletin board, are held responsible for vetting every single piece of content that is uploaded to them — every piece of text, every photo, every file, every video — then the Web as we know it will cease to exist, and many of the economic, social, political and technological benefits it brings could disappear.
These are important points of principle, which is why we and our employees will vigorously appeal this decision.

I'm italian guy, and i definitely agree with Google.ReplyDelete
In Italy the law, and many (MANY!) other things works bad (or doesn't work at all).
Ignorant people make laws, and ignorant people, often, judge people.... Ignorant at least from the web/technology point of view.
The politicians are often old people, who don't known NOTHING about computer....and the laws are so old that can't be applied to the innovation.
I see in italy bad things every day, and i'm tired about this situation.
I'm sorry for the Google executives that has been convicted, and i'm sorry...but i've to say once again that i'm appaled to be italian.
Marco Siino
Italian justice is a joke, just as you are showing in your blog, however I would expect Google to have better "common sense" than what you state in the 4th paragraph.ReplyDelete
Are you really suprised that someone is capable of filming any sort of abuse and uploading it without the consent of those in the film?
What was filmed was the harsh disgusting reality of life. It should not have been published on a public website just as it should not have happened at all.
Whoever made it possible that such a video was published to the public on such a popular website without any form of screening and allowing the user to think that they can manage to do so anonymously was "somehow" responsible. Common sense says that they did not see the video or have anything to do with it.
With this I am not agreeing with the court of Turin. I am just showing that their position may be justifiable.
The problem is that in a community like Youtube, or any other big public site, is impossible to screen each user "post" (for post i mean a video, an thread, or anything else posted by users).ReplyDelete
This is the nature of internet as we know it. Screening all the posts before publishing it means another thing that is not internet.
So, i think that the better thing, actually, is to let community report any post that violates some law or some ethic, so the provider can remove it as soon as possible, like google did.
In future maybe there could be a technology that, through advanced artificial intelligence, lets providers automatically filter any non-ethic post from the others...
Pre-screening would be a major threat as well.ReplyDelete
The internet is public space and in public space/real life (isn't the internet real?), you can technically say anything that pops to your mind. But like in real life, if what you say is against the law, you can (and will, if the law is enforced) be punished.
Do you live with an attourney at your side and consult him with every word you want to say?
Would everyone who did not gag another before breaking the law by speech, be responsible for what that other person said? Because by not gagging him, you enable him to say his law-breaking words...
This sounds like repression.
I never liked the Italian mob who calls themselves politicians, but this is just plain evil, short sighted, ignorant, ...
I hope the EP will take action...
Wait... What?? Cleared of defamation, but convicted for privacy-breach... Does NOT make sense AT ALL.ReplyDelete
Also, if it wasn't Italy, there wasn't a problem at all, due to the understanding of the safe-habour principals from the rest of europe.
Well, at least, if it doesn't wor out in Italy, they can always go to the europe central courts.
This is ridiculous!ReplyDelete
so to you the solution is to gag everyone and have a policemen checking what everyone says, writes, draws or taking picture of?
The web grew the way it did because of user generated content. It will just die!!!
Google Video is not based in Italy and if Italy doesn't want it's citizens watching or posting to Google Video then it is their responsibility to restrict or block access to that website.ReplyDelete
Even the Chinese put up their own great firewall they don't require the West to block free speech for them.
This is like asking an international postal service to screen all the mail it delivers for objectionable content before delivery rather than waiting for a complaint.
It's ridiculous and reppresents exactly what happens when old-generation mentality rules a country in the 21st century.ReplyDelete
I live in Rome and work as an independent WEb Designer and Linux System Administrator.
Internet is being seen by our political as a threat instead than what it is: a tool. It's a threat for copyrighted content, a threat for protected classes such as journalists, for mainstream controlled TV channels... this is because for the first time there is a communication channel that is open 24h a day,7 days a week that is absolutely not under their control.
Some politician have gone as far as to blame facebook for allowing any group to be created thus allowing groups to be a nest for violence against the prime minister and fueling the statue-attack on him....
Ridiculous, in another country the principal of the school where the abuse took place would have been fired and would have been charged for not doing his job (supervise the school).
And the minister of the interior would have had AT LEAST to ask the nation sorry for not being able to protect from a citizen it's elected rappresentative.
WE are a joke as a country... and this brings shame on all of us italians.
Agree with Renato. Here in Italy politicians are afraid of the Internet... as you know, they tried in many ways to make laws to restrict internet access..., to censor it, etc... And occasionally we listen about some law proposals by some politicians about ridiculous things to restrict internet....ReplyDelete
an example is the law that someone proposed about the impossibility to have and manage a blog if you is not a real news organization (with all derived tax obbligations, etc...), so with this law they wanted to restrict the free speech to all "normal" guys, so they can have control over the news organization and control the news they publish in their blogs....
Yes... it's a shame for all us.
French governement is firmly heading towards a similar law, named LOPPSI, copy-pasted from ACTA "negociations".ReplyDelete
It really seems that the rulers of this world are feeling that w the people have played enough with the Internet, and that now is the time to reshape it as a "real" entertainment/control tool...
Read http://www.laquadrature.net/fr/filtrage-du-net for fresh news on the french front.
It can sounds weird, but only ISP and firms like Google can stop this from happening, by make their voice heard loud and clear...
Megacorps please save free speech ;) ...
Posting a video of an autistic child being abused is nothing to do with free speech. What if it was you or your son, whose side would you be on?ReplyDelete
Google's activities may be tagged as free speech, but may also be tagged as big business. Their revenues are astronomical, and thanks mainly to content posted by the public. Is it fine to take the profit but to shed responsibility when things go wrong ?
PS I am not defending the Italian legal system, but I am calling for responsabilities to be taken by those who take the profit.
do you have the full text of the verdict?ReplyDelete

I thought it most interesting to read a letter to the editor on June 4 (Sun Advocate) called "Liberals don't use facts."
It also seems that the verbosity of Mr. Richardson's once a month letters take up the better part of a page of print.
The instructions from the Sun Advocate (concerning letters) calls for not more than 350 words. But he seems more comfortable with 600 or so.
As far as gun control goes he says "Liberals don't use facts." According to Pero Research, 88 percent of the people, including conservatives, want background checks on all people buying guns. Congress and his fellow Republicans totally ignore the wishes of the people.
Mr. Richardson states that "Shooters who have perpetrated the mass murders are liberals." It was on the news, he said.
From my point of view "that news" came from the infamous "Fox News" where half their news is (if they can't find a source) is made up.
Liberal Franklin D. Roosevelt passed Social Security.
I wonder if Mr. Richardson benefits from that act?
Lyndon Johnson passed the Equal Rights Act and more importantly Medicare for the elderly.
Is Mr. Richardson against that?
Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower at least put people to work building our trans-continental highway system.
John F. Kennedy put us on the moon.
George W. Bush put us into Iraq with 4,000 soldiers killed and that country is no better off today than before we went there.
Most liberals go to bat for the poor. Most conservatives represent the rich and privileged people. If one doesn't believe that just look at the Utah State Legislature.
We might be losing our country, but if we are it's because of poor funding of schools and worn out infrastructure, which conservatives oppose fixing.
Looks like the only thing Mr. Richardson and I have in common is that we both live in Spring Glen.

text: Being reasonably new to linux myself and having experimented with a handful of distros the big differences that I have noticed are in three areas, 1. Amount of skill and knowledge required at install. Some make it super easy to install giving a person few choices while others require a greater knowlege of your computer, and what you want to install on it. I fit into the first category at this time hope soon to improve. 2. Although Linux is Linux each distro puts their own spin on presentation and helpful programs. It even goes down to the desktop enviroment that they support in principle, some gnome, some kde, and some use thier favorite wm. 3. Although this probably fits into #2 I feel that it stands on its own, how each handles packages, some rpm, some apt, some tar each has good points about it. Currently I am using a Debian based distro and I really like the apt package management it is a little easier than rpm to me but hey its your world, use what you like. That is the true beauty of linux there are enough choices out there to have a great computer system and they are all tailored to fit a niche of varying skill levels. Just my 2 cents

DEXTER The General Brown Central School District Board of Education is only a month into its 2013-14 budget development process and already faces a $1.6 million deficit.
Superintendent Stephan J. Vigliotti Sr. said half of that is from bullet aid thats run out and use of reserves for the Teacher Retirement System, while the other half comes from an increase in expenses.
Obviously, with the governors budget, nothing has changed, as far as revenues, Mr. Vigliotti said during the boards monthly meeting Monday. Ultimately, weve lost $5.3 million in the last three years in state aid. Weve never had cuts were looking at this year never.
Mr. Vigliotti said he plans to meet with state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, and Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, to request support for the district, particularly when it comes to $203 million in a fiscal stabilization fund thats supposed to be used as one-time financial relief to districts facing extraordinary increases in fixed costs, including pension contributions. That money was earmarked in Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos 2013-14 budget.
Mr. Vigliotti said some districts have not had cuts as severe as General Brown, while the district will most likely again face a double-digit decline in work force and a continued expense reduction. In the last three years, the district has eliminated 29 positions.
Looking at cutting costs, board members were provided Monday with a list of school vendors with annual contracts. Mr. Vigliotti said the district might see a savings with a few vendors if requests for proposals were again sent out for those services.
To further help the planning process, board member Daniel J. Dupee II requested a projection of the districts year-end cash flow.
Meanwhile, Mr. Vigliotti said theres some confusion about the 2 percent tax cap because with several exclusions, General Brown could raise taxes 5.3 percent.
Board member Michael E. Kucharski asked Mr. Vigliotti what the districts strategy for explaining that to the public would be, to which Mr. Vigliotti said that information has been provided at the districts budget advisory committee meetings.
The real question is whether the board feels itd be supported or not, Mr. Vigliotti said.
With the added fiscal challenges the district faces, board members will receive guidance from Superintendent Jack J. Boak of the Jefferson-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services during their March 25 meeting regarding merger possibilities.

Lets Start What We Have Come In To The Room... To DO..
Fela Kuti Box Set Compiled by Ginger Baker from Turntable Lab Sweepstakes
According to Turntable Lab:
The second curated box set of long-awaited reissues from Fela Kuti is finally here! This time around, Knitting Factory Records has enlisted frequent Fela collaborator Ginger Baker to take the honors in selecting 6 classic LPs from the godfather of afrobeat's illustrious catalog. Baker's selections for this set include his own collaboration record, Live with Ginger Baker from '71, Roforofo Fight from '72, Confusion and Alagbon Close from '74, He Miss Road from '75, and Na Poi from '76.
Each of the albums have been painstakingly reproduced with full color album art and vintage labels making these particular reissues an excellent choice for collectors. If you're unfamiliar with Fela Kuti's music, this release is the excellent place to start - for longtime fans, this is an opportunity to own some of the harder to find records in a deluxe, expertly packaged set.
The box also includes a 12 page full-color booklet with an essay by Ginger Baker, liner notes from veteran British music journalist Chris May, and a poster designed by H. Cuadrado. Recommended.

Hopefully my first lucky break of the year...
My four year old and I would jam to this all day long. Thanks for offering this contest!
hoping for an addition to my currently all digital Fela collection.
I've enjoyed my one Fela album that I purchased back in the eighties & have always wanted to hear more but never got around to it. Now's my chance!
This looks like a great introduction to Fela Kuti, On vinyl none-the-less.
The four I have are a great selection. Looking forward to have the others!
Would love this in the collection!

The fast pace of urban life and resulting disconnect from nature is a point of tension and anxiety for city dwellers across the globe. For Chinese white-collar workers in megacities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the drive to succeed has led to intense pressure, long working hours and the type of sedentary day jobs that can be spiritually suffocating. Kean to this insight, outdoor brand The North Face launched a campaign advocating that people escape—if only for a weekend—and return to the wild in order to release, rediscover and reconnect to the world through valuable experiences.
In a humorous manifesto spot, urbanites are encouraged to literally drop everything in their hectic lives and retreat to the great outdoors, taking back their sanity in the process. Set to racing drums, the spot opens with a man who's given up on a chaotic traffic jam (he exits his car, placing the keys on the roof as the voiceover commands, "Damn you, traffic jams"). A man smashes an alarm clock that's signaling the beginning of his morning routine, and an office worker shoves files into the arms of her perplexed colleague before strolling out. As the commercial cuts across various urban stressors, the drums and voiceover climb to a crescendo, then break to scenes of nature and the sound of a deep exhale. We see people trekking across the plains and frozen tundra. "Your life deserves another possibility," the voiceover says. "To discover. To release. To gain. Go wild."

|State considers creating health insurance pool for chronically ill
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Wednesday, 02 May 2007 03:18
A bill up for house approval would require the state to create a special health insurance pool for thousands of chronically ill people who are uninsured or can't afford coverage.People with high-risk health conditions, such as multiple sclerosis or hemophilia, would be able to get health insurance at rates no greater than 175% of standard insurance rates. Expenses would be paid through premiums and a fee of up to $2, phased in through 2013, per each traditional customer. A federal grant would provide operating cost and jumpstart the program. 1.4 million people in North Carolina are currently uninsured. A similar measure was passed last year, but never reached the Senate floor. A Senate committee is considering a similar bill in committee.

AHA+ is a lightweight yet moisturizing AHA exfoliant that contains 10% AHA formulated at an effective pH of 4.
Resist Weekly Retexturizing Foaming Treatment 4% BHA
This concentrated product helps reduce the signs of aging plus breakouts and can help minimize enlarged pores.
Add to Faves?
This list of Best Exfoliants encompasses what you will see on our individual lists for Best AHA Exfoliants, Best BHA Exfoliants, and Best Scrubs. The idea was to put all of our recommended exfoliants in one place for those who want to see the entire list. Generally speaking, a well formulated exfoliant should:
Why is exfoliation so essential to healthy skin? Skin naturally sheds billions of skin cells each day. When this natural shedding slows or stops due to sun damage, dry skin, oily skin, genetics, or different skin disorders, the results are unmistakable: dull, dry, or flaky skin; clogged pores; blemishes; white bumps; and uneven skin tone.
Using an exfoliant steps in to help put everything in balance again. When you gently get rid of built-up skin cells you can undo clogged pores, stop breakouts, smooth out wrinkles, even make dry skin become a thing of the past!
Scrubs are certainly an option for exfoliating your skin, but they have limitations you don't have to worry about with an AHA or BHA exfoliant. Scrubs only deal with the very top, superficial layer of skin while most of the unhealthy, built-up skin cells are beyond the reach of a scrub.
What is most problematic is that many scrubs have a rough, coarse, uneven texture that can cause skin damage by tearing into the skin as it abrades away the surface, causing tiny tears that damage the skin's barrier. Scrubs often cause more problems than they could possibly solve, but the ones on this list are the best options for those who prefer a scrub, whether for daily or occasional use.
On balance, the Paula's Choice Research Team recommends considering an AHA or BHA exfoliant before a scrub, and use of a washcloth with your cleanser is a great way to get the same effect a scrub provides but for a lot less money! Be sure to use a fresh, clean washcloth each time.

The city just wants to say thank you to the dozens of people who serve on various boards, volunteer their time and make a difference in Watertown.
City officials have invited about 120 people to an event Monday commemorating Volunteer Appreciation Day. Many volunteers serve the city in various ways, some on boards and commissions with term commitments and some through community efforts.
For instance, West Ten Eyck Street resident Allison F. Gorham has been decorating a small park at Holcomb and South Massey streets for more than a year for holidays and also plants a colorful garden in the spring. She is among the invited guests to the event at 5 p.m. Monday in City Halls third-floor council chambers.
So is J. Clancy Hopkins, a longtime volunteer in the city historians room and a board member for the Roswell P. Flower Memorial Library.
A few months ago, Councilwoman Roxanne M. Burns suggested doing something to honor city volunteers, mentioning specifically Mr. Hopkins and all of his help for years.
A volunteer day was last held by the city about 12 years ago, said Elliott B. Nelson, confidential assistant to the city manager.
The volunteers will be given a key to the city and refreshments will be served.
Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham, along with council members Burns, Joseph M. Butler Jr., Teresa R. Macaluso and Jeffrey M. Smith, will host the event.
For further information or questions, call Mayor Graham at 785-7720.

Here's a rundown of Friday night's athletic events around the area:
The Watauga High softball team picked up its second win of the year on Friday by knocking off Hickory 7-2 in a Northwestern 3A/4A Conference game. The win gives WHS (2-5 overall) a 2-2 record in league play. Shelby Drummonds, who was named to the all-state team last spring, backboned the attack going 3-3 with a double, a walk and two runs scored. Kim Robinson went 2-3 with a double, a triple and a walk; Taylor Drummonds had two hits and scored a run; Hope LaPointe had two hits, Michala McCune had a base hit and scored a run. Nicole Dollar also had a hit. Pitching-wise, Robinson got the start and gave up three hits and struck out four in three innings of work. Megan Jackson gave up one hit and struck out two in two innings of work; and Shelby Drummonds finished up. She went two innings and struck out five. "It was an all-around solid game for everyone," said WHS coach Stephanie Long. "I feel like this week is a real turning point for the girls as a team." The Pioneers have home games against St. Stephens on Tuesday night and Ashe County on Thursday this week.
The Watauga High women's lacrosse team is on a roll. Following an impressive victory at home against West Forsyth on Thursday night, the Pioneers (3-3) followed that up by knocking off Mount Tabor 10-5 on the road on Friday. Jessie Nash led the attack as she scored five goals; Ava Moody had two goals. The Pioneers return home to play West Forsyth on Tuesday night.
The Watauga High men's lacrosse team continues to struggle. WHS lost two matches this past weekend. The Pioneers dropped a 12-5 decision to Hickory on Friday night. But WHS coach Chris Wallace is optimistic about his group. "We lost, but we played this team much better the second time around," he said. "They beat us pretty bad the first time we played them, but our guys came out and challenged better. It'll take a little time, but we're playing much better." Will Bridges scored two goals and had two assists for the Pioneers; Barrett Williams had two goals and an assist. The Pioneers (0-7) played Marvin Ridge at home on Saturday, and lost 18-0. Patton comes to town on Tuesday.
Watauga High coach Brittany Bolick has announced that the Wilkes Central match that was rained out March 10 will not be rescheduled. The Pioneers (6-1-1 overall; 3-0-1 in the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference) take on St. Stephens at home Tuesday night.
Watauga High pole-vaulting coach Daniel Isaacs has announced that senior Sydney Cook has verbally committed to continue her track career at Appalachian State University next season. Cook is a three-time state qualifier in both indoor and outdoor track. She also turned in the second-best effort in the pole vault in school history at the New Balance Indoor Championships in New York City on March 11. She cleared the bar with an effort of 11-feet, 2 1/2 inches. Her best effort during the outdoor season came last Wednesday at St. Stephens with an effort of 11-6. Cook, who will receive an athletic scholarship from ASU and will sign her national letter of intent last this spring, finished second in the state in the pole vault during the indoor season in 2010; she was the Northwestern 3A/4A Conference Athlete of the Year in 2010 during the outdoor season.
