ParticipantThis is a letter to editor in San Jose Mercury:
———————————————
Cultural shift could be good for kidsConcerning Eddie Garcia’s column: I know it won’t be easy for our society to cope with the children of immigrants, as they grow up in households where hard work and sacrifice are the norm and paychecks are often sent to needy relatives. It’s this kind of stuff that could cause an unexpected cultural shift that would undermine traditional American values, which guide your children through their formative years of text-messaging, shopping and developing critical brand loyalties.
After all, kids in the United States know where their self-worth comes from, and it’s not from some cheap cell phone. Nope. It’s from the more expensive iPhone, the one that costs $700!

ParticipantWhat a great letter! Pretty much sums it up, right?
Course, those new iPhones are pretty nice…

ParticipantHey Allan it is my son’s first year of Pop Warner (12 going into 7th grade) and I couldn’t be more stoked. I have coached Little League, his school’s basketball team (6th grade), and run a travel ball baseball team… But with Pop Warner, I decided to pull up a lawn chair, (or bleachers) and watch.
No offense to the hard work you guys do, but my time is getting pulled in many directions, particularly baseball. My kid plays for LCC Pop Warner. Not sure how he’ll do being first year and all, but he looks ok out there and can’t wait to get pad on.

August 2, 2007 at 4:37 PM #69703ParticipantCardiffBaseball: Is he Pee Wee or Jr Midget? I coach Pee Wee this year, and coached Mitey Mite the last two. Mitey Mite is more fun because, for most kids, it is their first exposure to football and you don’t have to “unlearn” any bad habits. Pee Wee is more interesting because the kids are older and it opens up more options offensively and defensively.
I hope you enjoy your season. We won’t be seeing la Costa Canyon this year, but I have played you guys in years past and you consistently field some good teams. Nice renovation of the high school, by the way. Wow. That new sports facility there is the you know what!
Go Apaches!

ParticipantMy mom comes from a different generation (born in the late 30’s in Germany). She can’t believe that today you can buy a television on credit let alone a car or anything else. It really is amazing how we have completely evolved into a spend & spend and run up the debt society. 🙁

August 3, 2007 at 12:21 AM #69808ParticipantHe is Jr. Midget, D-2. 30 of the 35 are new to tackle football so they created a new team. I think it’s great because he’ll get to play more.
Ironically he won’t be attending LCC in HS as he is transferring over to Santa Fe Christian. Making that backwards drive from Cardiff to LCC is a pain in the morning from everything I hear. (given that I work down in the UTC area). However that new field looks great.

August 3, 2007 at 10:31 AM #69912ParticipantCardiffBaseball: My Pee Wee team is D2 as well, and all brand new players.
What I find absolutely amazing is how quickly the team (I have a 28 player roster) has pulled together. My focus is always on conditioning and fundamentals; nothing fancy on either offense or defense and the kids have taken to it like ducks to water.
The only caution I ever offer to parents of a kid new to tackle football is that first game. In Pee Wee and Jr Midget, he will be encountering players that have been playing 4 to 5 years of tackle ball and, in some cases, have really mastered the art of the hit. They will target kids who are just standing around on a play and/or not paying attention.
I teach my kids the “ABC rule”: Always Be Conscious – know what’s going on around you, keep your head up and always pay attention.
Yeah, that whole set up at LCC HS is really nice. I saw the gym and indoor facilities, too. Fallbrook UHS is getting renovated, but the difference between the two high schools is unbelievable. LCC paid about $1MM more and got about 2 to 3x the facilities for their money.
