Swimmers grin and ‘bear’ it By David J. Criblez dcriblez@oysterbayguardian.com

If you drove by Oyster Bay’s Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park Beach on Sunday, March 11th and saw the size of the crowd, you would have thought Billy Joel was holding a free concert. But the truth is the Piano Man was nowhere in sight, instead, an army of Polar Bear swimmers ready to jump into the harbor for the

United Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County’s 8th annual Polar Bear Plunge fundraiser. Hundreds of brave souls ran willingly into the chilled water and the massive crowd of spectators showed their support. Pledges raised by each swimmer went to benefit UCPN’s programs for children and adults with disabilities. “We support 1,800 children and adults who (Continued on page 6)

$250,000 grant to help sanctuary spread its wings By David J. Criblez dcriblez@oysterbayguardian.com

The Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary & Audubon Center has recently undergone some changes but it’s headed in an upward direction. That was quite evident at its successful Legacy of Conservation Gala at Piping Rock Club on Saturday, March 10th. The evening honored three local women Barbara Conolly, Betsy Gulotta and Nancy Pirtle with the Legacy of Conservation Award. Perhaps the evening’s most exciting news was the announcement that the Sanctuary has been awarded a $250,000 grant from the LuEsther Mertz Foundation in the form of a challenge grant. In fact, TRS has already raised over $150,000 towards the grant already. This much needed injection of support was greeted with thundering applause and the funds will be used to start building the longawaited new aviaries which is expected to begin later this summer. “This year we are going to be

focusing on infrastructure updates and repairs. We are in the process of putting in a plan for new aviaries, which we desperately need. The new version of the plan will be less expensive than the old one,” said Ted von Briesen, new Advisory Board President. “We will also be doing renovations on our caretaker’s historic house, which was built in 1885. We will be insulating the Learning Center and possibly adding some classroom space. Things are getting better all the time!”

Gala Honorees This year the Sanctuary recognized three local distinguished ladies, Conolly, Gulotta and Pirtle, for their environmental leadership and presented each of them with its highest award, the 2012 Legacy of Conservation Award. Former longtime board member of The Nature Conservancy, Barbara Conolly has dedicated most of her life to the advancement of (Continued on page 6)

Scouts’ honor

Three local Boy Scouts were heralded in an Eagle Scout Court of Honor held by Troop 253 at Oyster Bay High School Performing Arts Center on Sunday, March 11th. (Pictured from left) OBHS graduate of the Class of 2011 Christopher Kulis, 18, of Oyster Bay and OBHS Seniors Constantine Davantzis, 18, of Oyster Bay and Matthew La Rosa, 18, of East Norwich all came up the ranks together as they began scouting at an early age. Each was inspired by older scouts to follow the path to Eagle Scout rank, which is only achieved by a mere 2% of the scouting population. They each completed an Eagle Scout project as well as earning an extensive list of merit badges. All three men received accolades from the United Sates Marine Corps, the U.S. Army, Kiwanis Club, New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, Town of Oyster Bay, village of Muttontown, OBHS, Matinecock Lodge #806, Congressman Peter T. King, American Legion – Quentin Roosevelt Post No. 4 and others for their unique achievement.

COCKTAIL CULTURE

LV Jesters to present ‘Anything Goes’ By David J. Criblez dcriblez@oysterbayguardian.com

Audience members will get on a cruise of love and hijinks this weekend at Locust Valley High School’s Howard A. Schmock Auditorium when the Locust Valley Jesters present Cole Porter’s, “Anything Goes,” March 16th-18th. The legendary show, featuring Broadway hits “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “You’re the Top” and the title track, will have audience members dancing in the aisles. Director Abbe Gail Gross and Musical Director William Margiotta are the partners-in-crime who have been cooking up these stellar LVHS productions for 27 years. Together they put on “Anything Goes” in 1998 and felt it was time to give it another go. “We recently did ‘The King & I’ which was heavy and ‘Cinderella’ was a fairy tale so we were looking for something big and splashy that involves tap dancing and comedy,” said Margiotta. “Every tune in the show is a gem. There isn’t a dud in the whole bunch. Cole Porter was a genius!” A group of cast members took a trip to Manhattan to see the show, which is cur-

rently playing on Broadway. “It’s exciting because the kids have gotten very familiar with the material,” said Margiotta. “It’s a real time piece but it’s a funny show that’s filled with slapsticktype jokes.” Junior Ernest Schieferstein, 17, of Bayville will fill the role of Billy Crocker a broken down broker who falls in love with Hope Harcourt (played by Emily Parks) who comes from a privileged background. After playing a Prince and a Russian, Schieferstein was happy to sink his teeth into a different type of role. “This is a little more modern. It’s interesting to be involved in this style of show business that was introduced in the 1930s. I enjoy doing all this stuff,” he said. Senior Hannah Milnes, 17, of Locust Valley takes on the role of Reno Sweeney – a singer/dancer/former evangelist who falls in love with Sir Evelyn Oakleigh (played by Sophomore Konrad Matthaei, 15, of Locust Valley) and ends up getting married to him. “I love her confidence. She’s sexy, smart and very sure of herself. She’s someone who doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer,” she said. Senior George White,

18, of Locust Valley is no stranger to the stage as he will perform for his 8th show as a LV Jester when he transforms into Elisha J. Whitney an old drunk Wall Street banker. “It’s sad that I’m not going to be able to do this anymore,” White said about his last LVHS show. “The Jesters are like a tight-knit family.” Senior Christina Boutros, 18, of Locust Valley is known for her beautiful voice which she lets fly on “Heaven Hop” in the role of Snake Eyes Johnson’s girlfriend, Bonnie, a racy girl who goes after money and wants to built herself up to be infamous. “It’s fun channeling someone else,” she said. “She’s nothing like me.” Margiotta described the cast as a “real talented and fun group” making “Anything Goes” a perfect fit. “This show is a huge project that touches a lot of kids,” he said. “It will be an experience they will always remember.” “Anything Goes” will be performed on tonight Friday, March 16th at 7:30 PM, Saturday, March 17th at 7:30 PM and Sunday, March 18th at 3 PM. Tickets are $8 in advance, $10 at the door. For group sales or more info., call (516) 277-5144.

Starting with the 1920s, the show is a veritable feast for the eyes and includes fabulous clothes by some of the greatest designers of their time such as Mariano Fortuny and Elsa Schiaparelli. There are extraordinary works of art for women's feet made by Salvatore Ferragamo in the 1930s and by Dalman and I Miller. Also included are beautiful hats by Tatiana of Saks 5th Ave and by Adrian of Hollywood.

St. Dom’s to bring the world of Dr. Seuss to life By David J. Criblez dcriblez@oysterbayguardian.com

If you are walking on Anstice Street in Oyster Bay this weekend and you think you see a cat in a hat or a nerdy elephant named a Horton, don’t fret or call the eye doctor it’s just the St. Dominic High School Drama Club channeling Dr. Seuss. These creatures and more can be seen on stage at St. Dominic Performing Arts Center on March 16th & 17th at 7 PM and Sunday, March 18th at 5 PM in “Seussical the Musical.” After taking on “Godspell” in 2010 and “Little Shop of Horrors” in 2011, director Katherine Reilly wanted to switch things up. “I was looking for a show that was bigger than last year in terms of cast and more family friendly,” she said. “I wanted something happier. We were aiming to try and bring the production to the lower grades in order to draw the little kids.” The “colorful and cartoony” atmosphere and vibe of the mu-

sical is contagious and something the cast instantly connected with. “The kids like the fact that everything rhymes,” she said. “I wanted to keep it human even though it’s a show about animals. We are not using any elephant trunks or bird beaks.” Reilly was drawn to the show after listening to the song, “Alone in the Universe.” “I heard that song and fell in love with the entire score,” she admitted. “ ‘Solla Sollew’ is my other favorite.” Senior Joe Kalinowski, 17, of Amityville, who played Seymour in “Little Shop” last year, landed the role of Horton this time around and he sees a strong correlation between the two characters. “Horton’s very similar to Seymour in that he is a shy, nerdy outcast,” he said. “The main difference is ‘Little Shop’ was funny but dark where ‘Seussical’ is just plain silly.” Junior Tania Boltus, 16, of Westbury takes on the Sour Kangaroo, a role she played in 8th grade at St. Brigid’s. “The character is mean but

funny,” she said. “It’s fun because I get to be bossy. I’m enjoying the role more now that I’m older and I know what to expect.” Senior Tina Dasaro, 17, of Glen Cove likes the upbeat tone of the show as she prepares to play Mayzie, a bird who is completely full of herself. “I’m more quiet so it was hard at first but I made it work,” she said. “It all comes together naturally.” Sophomore Caroline Hickey, 15, of Huntington is the star of the show as the infamous Cat in the Hat a role she is truly enjoying. “I like how fun, whimsical and different the show is. ‘Little Shop’ was more realistic. This is simply crazy. You can really do whatever you want with it,” she said. “I saw what other people did with the character of the Cat in the Hat, I re-read the books and then put my own spin on it.” Tickets for “Seussical the Musical” are $10 for adults and $5 for children/students. For more information, call (516) 9224888.

Kaitlyn Maleady leads the pack at Free Throw Championship dcriblez@oysterbayguardian.com

Although she’s only 10, Kaitlyn Maleady of Glen Cove has forged her way through taking the top spot in her age group for the third round of the Knights of Columbus’ Free Throw Championship held at St. Dominic’s Monsignor James E. Collins Sports Center in Oyster Bay on Saturday, March 10th. She is the only member of the Knights of Columbus - Fr. Thomas Connelly Council #5314 to advance to the next round. Known as the regional round, which is Nassau County-wide, Maleady sank 16 free throws out of 25 taking first place in the 10 yearold girls’ division. Although she shot two less than her round two score (18 of 25), Maleady was still able to pull out the win. “I was a bit more nervous than last time because there’s more people here,” said Kaitlyn. “My dad gave me some good advice. He told me, ‘Remember that it’s all about form.’ ” Kaitlyn is multi-talented as she also plays soccer and softball. However, basketball remains her favorite sport and she has been playing since first grade. Over the last two years she has played point guard on a travel team, the St. Hyacinth Storm and at the Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club in Locust Valley. Standing 4 feet 6 inches and weighing 68 lbs., Kaitlyn is very small which can

work for or against her. “On defense I can get down lower but I can also get my shots blocked easier so it’s not always great to be little,” she admitted. In the last round Kaitlyn (18 of 25) beat out her 12 year-old brother Sean (15 of 25) by three baskets. At that point Sean vowed to defeat her by three baskets in the next round. He made good on that promise as he scored 19 of 25 free throws in the third round taking a runner-up spot in his age group behind 12 year-old John Timony of Merrick, who shot an incredible 24 of 25. However, this didn’t matter as long as he beat out his sister as he predicted he would. “I’m very happy,” Sean said. When asked if there was any sibling rivalry going on, Kaitlyn smiled and said, “Maybe a little bit.” She is excited about advancing to the next round. She practices with her brother at home and her dad often takes her to the YMCA. Another runner-up was Dayna Morfis, 13, of Bayville, who returned to the contest by being a runnerup in the last round as the winner was unable to attend round three. This time she shot 12 of 25 but was edged out by 13 year-old girls’ division winner Elizabeth McGannon of Garden City who shot 13 of 25. “I’m proud of all the kids. This is the furthest our council has ever gotten. We’ve never had a representative go beyond the counties,”

said Steve Peguillan of the Fr. Thomas Connelly Council #5314. “We will look forward to rooting on Kaitlyn in the All-Long Island round. Possibly Dayna and Sean may get a phone call as well. You never know.” Kevin Coleman, Treasurer of the K of C Nassau County Conference, added, “All the children did a great job from the council level to the district level. Every one is a winner as far as I’m concerned.” Other female winners included: 11 year-old Irene Krische of Williston Park (18 of 25), 12 year-old Rosemarie Falco of Valley Stream (20 of 25), 13 year-old Elizabeth McGannon of Garden City (13 of 25) and 14 yearold Kelly O’Krepkie of Port Washington (17 of 25). Male winners included: 10 year-old Timmy Kiggins of Manhasset (23 of 25), 11 year-old Harris Eisenberg of Old Bethpage (24 of 25), 12 year-old John Timony of Merrick (24 of 25), 13 yearold Troy Veritzan of Bethpage (22 of 25) and 14 yearold Stephen Deely of Floral Park (23 of 25). The next round will be the All-Long Island round, which includes the best free throw shooters from Nassau County, Suffolk County, Brooklyn and Queens, will be held at Chaminade School in Mineola on Saturday, March 31st at 10 AM. Winners of the All-Long Island round will go on to the New York State Championships typically held at West Point later in the spring.

OBITUARIES

EDITORIAL The problemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the process, not the plan

CAROL JOHNSTON MALI DuBOIS

here is a lot to like about County Executive Edward Manganoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police precinct reduction plan that was passed by the Legislature last week. Its purpose is to update an outmoded public safety system, redirect police energy in the right directions and save the county money. So why is the plan so hard for so many people to swallow? Because it has the same problem that has plagued Manganoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concepts in the past: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the presentation, not the plan. If you were walking down the street and someone jammed a $100 bill into your mouth, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be more offended than pleased, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you? Sure, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take the money, but the way the gift was presented would corrupt the benefit. The packaging of Manganoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new policing strategy feels like that: Even if every promised benefit materializes, the lack of information that has been made public, combined with the cocky bluster of the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s majority, make it hard to support what might very well be an idea whose time has come. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen similar public reactions to county initiatives in the recent past. The self-serving Republican redistricting plan was nothing less than cynical gerrymandering, manifested by its rush to be approved, a general impression that has thus far been upheld in court. And Manganoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempt to sneak a fastball past voters in the form of a half-cocked Nassau Coliseum proposal was overwhelmingly repelled. But while the cost of redistricting is political capital, and building the Islanders a new home is all about financing, the stakes of a proposal to reorganize policing in Nassau County are much higher. The protection of the people and their property is the primary function of government. So when you start proposing sweeping changes to those services, it is incumbent on government to provide ample details about how everythingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to work. Under Mangano, plans always seem foisted on a public that, at best, will be per-

mitted to vent its spleen at a hearing or two before succumbing to the unstoppable force of GOP control. In this case, that nominal concession to dissent is not enough. This never would have happened under former County Executive Tom Suozzi. He excelled at building consensus. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d give beginning-to-end refined and illuminating plans to anyone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d listen. His goal always seemed to be to persuade, to convince, to enlighten, to make believers out of skeptics. To their credit, the administrators tasked with promoting Manganoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policing plan have made themselves amply available. Deputy Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter and Chief Deputy County Executive Robert Walker have conducted a multi-stop tour worthy of the Rolling Stones; the problem is, they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to provide answers to the most fundamental questions. During a Baldwin campaign stop a few months ago, Walker intimated that the plan had been under development for almost two years. But at the same meeting, he was unable to tell nervous residents what their new policing center would look like, what services it would and would not provide, how many people would staff it and what those people would be empowered to do. Those are not questions that can go unanswered at this late stage. Again, all indications are that the precinct revamp will be a victory for Nassau County. But when it comes to public health and safety, indications are insufficient. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a new sports venue or a remapping of voting districts. This is a wholesale reconstruction of law enforcement in this county, and the fact that no one knows, or at least is willing to share, the very foundations of the plan is unacceptable. We have heard Manganoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the What: undiminished police protection at a lower cost to taxpayers. Now it is time for him to address the How, Where and When. This plan may very well be a good one, but with the facts that have thus far been divulged, how would anyone know?

Saying goodbye to ‘intrepid journalist’ (Continued from page 1) Father Kevin Smith, Pastor of St. Dominic, welcomed the hundreds that gathered to pay their respects to Colvin’s family and celebrate her life. “The Colvin family is an important part of this parish. We are with you today and always for anything you might need,” the Pastor declared to her mother Rosemarie, brothers William and Michael and sisters Aileen and Cathleen as well as her nieces and nephews who sat in the front pews. Family friend Katrina Heron delivered a touching eulogy about the two sides of Colvin, the hardcore journalist and the lighthearted sailor who loved to laugh. “These surroundings to-

day are a bit sedated for her taste,” said Heron, “Her voice was unmistakable — expansive, amusing, irresistibly self-conﬁdent, selfdeprecating, full of passion, full of belief and very much alive. Marie sought out light, beauty, wisdom, truth and fun.”

Talent and guts Describing her as an “intrepid reporter who was completely in command of her craft,” Heron was in awe of her blend of talent and guts. “She struggled with worldly woes, took on ever greater risks in her work and she trusted life. She lived in the attempt. She never went anywhere without her reporter’s notebooks,” she

said. “Marie died valorously and with nearly unimaginable bravery doing the work she believed in. We are so proud of her.” Colvin looked to her family and friends for warmth, bonding and recreation. “She came come to us to play and have fun. She sailed like a bird in ﬂight. I picture her sailing on a day like today on the beautiful bay,” said Heron. “She had a genius for bringing people together and everyone was defenseless against her laughter.” Rev. Dennis Mason, OFM conducted the Mass along with Auxiliary Bishop Paul Walsh from the Diocese of Rockville Centre along with concelebrants Fr. Smith, Monsignor Robert O. Mor-

rissey – Secretary to Bishop William Murphy and Fr. Gerard Gordon, Associate Pastor of St. Dominic’s. In his homily, Rev. Mason painted a picture of Colvin meeting Jesus in heaven and what he would say to her as he greeted her. “Perhaps in our hearts we can see Jesus taking Marie by the hand, drawing her to himself and saying, ‘Blessed are you Marie. Like my disciples you have continued my presence and power in this world. Blessed are you Marie in your hunger and thirst for righteousness and your courage to be the voice for the voiceless. Blessed are you Marie for your mercy, which led you to risk your life so many times over for the sake of those who

no one else would show mercy.” Praising her selflessness, Rev. Mason said, “Her first thought was never for herself but always for the other. She was persecuted for righteousness and therefore will inherit the land of promise. We will remember her as the most respected, talented, compassionate, selfless journalist of her generation.”

Standing Up for Marie Outside on the sidewalk Tamil Americans from the United States Tamil Political Action Council (USTPAC) held up posters in support of Colvin’s work as a journalist. “When the world was turning a blind eye, Marie

was courageous and always brought out the truth,” said Seetharam Sivam of the USTPAC. “She was the voice for the voiceless people and we want to thank her for what she did for us. She’s part of our family.” Fox News commentator Judy Miller was in tears as she left the church at the conclusion of the ceremony for her friend. “She died doing what she loved to do. She told the stories of people whose voices need to be heard,” Miller said. “That’s just about our only consolation right now. I’m privileged to have been her friend.” Family and friends gathered at a post-Mass reception at the Crescent Beach Club in Bayville.

Hundreds of swimmers grin and ‘bear’ it for UCPN (Continued from page 1) come to our programs for school, therapy, recreation, housing and socialization. We can’t have those programs and level of services without the support of the community,” said Robert McGuire, UCPN Executive Director. “People have so much fun at this event that they come back every year and bring more friends. These are all generous people who just want to do good.” UCPN has raised more than a quarter of a million dollars over the years and the tally is getting bigger. “The crowd has shown up big time this year and, luckily, the weather is cooperating,” said event cochairman/founder Jack “Polar Bear Extraordinaire” Sullivan. “The water is the warmest that we’ve seen in eight years (42 degrees) but

it’s still cold.” One person who was missing in body but was present in spirit was late former co-chair and longtime UCPN board member Lenny Ferraro. However, his daughter Lisa Ferraro was representing him. “This is a very emotional day for me. I know he’s here with us,” she said. “The sun is shining down today and I’m sure my dad’s smiling down on us.” Ex-Atlantic Steamer Fire Chief Frank Ozol of Oyster Bay served as co-chair of the event. The Steamers served over 600 free hot dogs to the crowd even before the swim began causing Ozol to say, “This is easily our biggest year yet!” Both Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg of Long Beach and Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto were both on hand to lend their support to the

cause. “I’m not just here as a legislator I’m here as a parent of a special child who has Cerebral Palsy but he only gives me happiness. I know how difﬁcult it is. This is the reality you learn when you get involved with UCPN,” the Assemblyman said. “The UCPN provides leadership and they care enough to become surrogate parents to these kids. We are so grateful to them.” Amazed at the size of the crowd, Venditto stated, “If you look around here you have residents from all corners of the township coming together voluntarily and unselﬁshly to do the right thing. The enthusiasm you feel in the air is genuine. Everyone is working as a community team. It seems to be building every year making the event bigger and better.” Tom Bazzini came with a gang of guys from the Long

Beach Polar Bears who hold their own Polar Bear Swim in Long Beach on Super Bowl Sunday, which drew 6,000 swimmers and 20,000 spectators last month. The LBPBs raise funds for the Make a Wish Foundation and they generously raised $3,000 for UCPN this year. “I’m grateful to have a healthy daughter and this is our way of giving back and showing some gratitude,” said Bazzini. “Things are a bit different in Oyster Bay than in Long Beach. We are used to sandy beaches. You guys have rocks, which is more challenging on the toes. But this is all good positive energy.”

Diana Trama & Cheryl McManus of Bayville went in the water in honor of Trama’s late husband Michael and McManus’ late fatherin-law Francis. “I thought it would be a good way to remember both of them,” said McManus. “This is something they both would have done and enjoyed.” The Oyster Bay-East Norwich Chamber of Commerce raised $2,000 for Trustee Alex Gallego to hit the water. “We support all kinds of causes in the community and this one touches our community closely. For the 5th year in a row we have Alex Gallego getting in the water representing the Chamber,”

said Chamber President Michele Browner. “We call him The Baby Bull!” Oyster Bay High School Interact Club advisor Lakshmi Narendran got a team of students to raise funds and take the plunge. “It was cold but I’m glad the air was warm,” said sophomore Nick Augustine, 16, of Oyster Bay as he dried off. “I thought I was going to be hyperventilating when I got out but I was ﬁne,” said sophomore Mimi Grassi, 16, of Oyster Bay.

THE GREEN VALE SCHOOL Early Childhood through Middle School

Grant to help sanctuary

Upcoming Programs TRS Director Ted Scherff was beaming with pride over the Sanctuary and he’s looking forward to the upcoming spring activities and summer camps. “We encourage the family unit to do things together in nature,” he said. “One of my greatest joys is meeting grandparents bringing their grandkids to our youth activities and hearing that they brought their children and they came here as a child themselves. At this point we are witnessing three generations of the Sanctuary’s legacy.” Coming up on April 7th the Sanctuary will host one of its most popular programs, Eggstravaganza, where kids, ages 2-10, can meet egg-laying animals and they can create their own basket then search for prize-ﬁlled eggs on the nature trails. “This event sells out every year,” said TRS Outreach Coordinator Brooke Roeper. “It keeps growing in popularity.” Keeping with the nature theme Wildlife Care Coordinator Alice Bryant displayed a live red-tailed hawk at the event, which guests admired. Meanwhile Caretaker Blair Broughton showed off an American Kestrel. “This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and it’s important that the community comes out to support us. This is what makes the Sanctuary run,” said co-Vice President/co-chair Marian Minkin. “The Sanctuary is one of Oyster Bay’s

pearls. To have 16 acres of open space in the middle of Oyster Bay is a big deal. We don’t want this place to turn into the next subdivision therefore we need community support to keep it going.” Board member and longtime supporter Ed Mohlenhoff was on hand to greet new supporters and welcome them into the fold. “I strongly believe in the Audubon mission and educating the young people about nature,” he said. “The Sanctuary is a real gem of a place. If you’ve lived in Oyster Bay, you probably spent a lot of time here as a child. I was lucky enough to grow up around it and spent many years there.” For more information on the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary, call (516) 922-3200 or visit: http:// ny.audubon.org/CentersEdu_TRoosevelt.html.

Coaching and teaching sports isn’t easy

Spring is in the air! The Little League teams are beginning to be put together. Parents are out trying to give their children some early instruction that will jumpstart their child and help ensure a great season. Lacrosse is everywhere as is tennis and soccer, and it is still March! For most of us who have been locked up in our homes waiting for the warm weather so we can get out, we understand that it is more important that our children rid themselves of “Basement Syndrome.” This is a condition that most contagious and is noted by young adults, children and even our youngest having a game stick in hand and being pointed in front of a monitor of some sorts. It is a condition that can leave children lacking in color, overweight and sometimes even bereft of friends. How can sports help? Sports are part of learning how to be an individual, how to work in groups, having self respect, learning to do something without a parent being the leader, and most importantly learning that failure is part of life. For the tennis player, the golfer, or the bowler, when you are out there you are alone. The hit, the miss, the strike or the gutter bowl, it is all you. Mom and Dad can’t help; it is what you have done to prepare for that moment. It’s like taking a test. If you haven’t studied, attended class or listened to the teacher; when you get a D or an F, what did you really expect? For team sports, it is meeting new friends, learning what it is to play or succeed in that sport, learning the skill and also seeing where you fit in with the pack. Children aren’t blind and they know where their skill set leaves them. Not everyone bats fourth, pitches perfectly and is the kid every coach wants on their team. That all being said, children put into the practice regimen, the game condition, just as in school feel notable stress. In this set, parents can only do so much to alleviate what their children feel. It is the up to the coaches to deal with these stresses and make the game fun, the sport learnable, and understand that the world is not decided upon the Little League diamond, on the tennis court or the soccer field. For many parents, who almost always are coaching their own children, they must be aware of not only how the children perceive them but also how the parents perceive their coaching. Coaches are often accused of playing favorites, letting their child play the most or have the best position. They say it to themselves, they say it to other team parents and their children hear it and suddenly an additional stress is added to the child/player. This is just reality. So as it is early in the season I have put together a number of books that parents who are going to coach should read. Every parent who coaches already believes that he knows all about the sport but teaching it to 5 year olds or 12 year olds is a must if you really want to be a mentor and a meaningful coach. None of these books says that winning is what children coaches must teach. I recommend the following: ■ How to Coach Little League Baseball… by Jack Patterson ■ Managing Little League by Ned McIntosh ■ Coaching Youth Lacrosse by American Sports Education Program ■ Beyond Winning, The Timeless Wisdom of Great Philosopher Coaches by Gary Walton If you want to be a coach, be a good coach and learn what it takes for a parent to be successful coaching other people’s children. Moms remember that coaching isn’t just for Dads. In many respects most Mom don’t have the memories about how good you were supposed to be when you were a player. At the very least make sure your husband coach, who no doubt played like Mantle, understands modern child psychology, as well as every rule of the game, at least reads something on how to teach the sport and how to interact with parents of children on the team. Coaching can be fun and rewarding but it does take some preparation.
