The restrictions on the ARPA funds that will be coming I feel will have ai more drastic effect on us than most people will understand. Also, the minimum wage going from those local governments now paying the minimum of $8.65 per hour, to$ $15.00 will be an increase inj pay percentage ofover 57% in 3-4 years. Without additional 9.

We will also discuss flood insurancei issues, claims procedures, permitting after disasters, and how communities may! become more proficient in recovering from flood disasters. We will also presenti information on an array off funding sources  that may benefit individual survivors and help mitigate communities.  Thisi is a veryi important meeting, and we ask all communities to participate by making available at floodplain representative and/or building official or other staff member, up to threet from each community. The format is at full- dayi interactive virtual plenary meeting followed by a 90-minute (or less) virtual one-on-one meeting later int the week to discuss the State's floodplain assessments that were conducted in advance oft the plenary meeting. This Regional plenary meeting will be Monday, July 12, 2021, followed byi individual community meetings, which are conducted by SFMO staff with local floodplain management staff via a WebEx application.

Here goes!! 17 INCHES" you will not regret reading this An excellent article to read from beginning to end.  Twenty years ago, in Nashville, Tennessee, during the first week of January, 1996, more than 4,000 baseball coaches descended upon the Opryland Hotel for the 52nd annual ABCA's convention. While Iwaited in line to register with the hotel staff, I heard other more veteran coaches rumbling about the lineup of speakers scheduled to present during the weekend. One name kept resurfacing, always with the same sentiment - "John Scolinos is here? Oh, man, worth every penny  of my airfare."  Who is John Scolinos, lwondered. No matter; I was just happy to be there.  In 1996, Coach Scolinos was 78 years old and five years retired from a college coaching career that began in 1948. He shuffled to the stage to an impressive standing ovation, wearing dark polyester pants, a light blue shirt, and a string around his neck from which home plate hung -a  full-sized, stark-white home plate.  Seriously, lwondered, who is this guy?  After speaking for twenty-five minutes, not once mentioning the prop hanging around his neck, Coach Scolinos appeared to notice the snickering among some of the coaches. Even those who knew Coach Scolinos had to wonder exactly where he was going with this, or if he had simply "You're probably all wondering why I'm wearing home plate around my neck," he said, his voice growing irascible. laughed along with the others, acknowledging the possibility. "In may be old, but I'm not crazy. The reason Istand before you today is to share with you baseball people what I've Several hands went up when Scolinos asked how many Little League coaches were in the room. "Do After a pause, someone offered, Seventeen inches?", more of a question than answer. "That's right," he said. "How about in Babe Ruth's day? Any Babe Ruth coaches in the  forgotten about home plate since he'd gotten on stage. Then, finally :  learned in my life, what I've learned about home plate in my 78 years."  you know how wide home plate is in Little League?"  house?" Another long pause.  "Seventeen inches?" a guess from another reluctant coach.  "That's right," said Scolinos. "Now, how many high school coaches do we have in the room?" Hundreds of hands shot up, as the pattern began to appear. "How wide is home plate in high  school baseball?"  "Seventeen inches," they said, sounding more confident.  "You're right!" Scolinos barked. "And you college coaches, how wide is home plate in  college?"  "Seventeen inches!" we said, in unison.  "Any Minor League coaches here? How wide is home plate in pro ball?".  "Seventeen  inches!"  "RIGHT! And in the Major Leagues, how wide home plate is in the Major Leagues?  "Seventeen inches!"  htps/Mwlebookcom  1/3    5/25/2021  (20+)F Facebook  SEV-EN-TEEN INCHES!" he confirmed, his voice bellowing off the walls. "And what do they do with a Big League pitcher who can't throw the ball over seventeen inches?" Pause. They send him to Pocatello !" he hollered, drawing raucous laughter. "What they don't do is this: they don't say, 'Ah, that's okay, Jimmy. If you can't hit a seventeen-inch target? We'll make it eighteen inches or nineteen inches. We'll make it twenty inches SO you have a better chance of hitting it. If you can't Pause. "Coaches... what do we do when your best player shows up late to practice? or when our team rules forbid facial hair and a guy shows up unshaven? What if he gets caught drinking? Dov we hold him accountable? Or do we change the rules to fit him? Do we widen home plate? The chuckles gradually faded as four thousand coaches grew quiet, the fog lifting as the old coach's message began to unfold. He turned the plate toward himself and, using a Sharpie, began to draw something. When he turned it toward the crowd, point up, a house was revealed, complete with a freshly drawn door and two windows. "This is the problem in our homes today. With our marriages, We don't teach accountability to our kids, and there is no consequence for failing to meet standards. Pause. Then, to the point at the top of the house he added a small American flag. "This is the problem in our schools today. The quality of our education is going downhill fast and teachers have been stripped of the tools they need to be successful, and to educate and discipline our young people. We are allowing others to widen home plate! Where is that getting us?"  hit that, let us know sO we can make it wider still, say twenty-five inches."  with the way we parent our kids. With our discipline.  We just widen the plate!"  Silence. He replaced the flag with a Cross. "And this is the problem in the Church, where powerful people in positions of authority have taken advantage of young children, only to have such an atrocity swept under the rug for years. Our church leaders are widening home plate for  themselves! And we allow it."  "And the same is true with our government. Our so-called representatives make rules for us that don't apply to themselves. They take bribes from lobbyists and foreign countries. They no longer serve us. And we allow them to widen home plate! We see our country falling into a dark Iwas amazed. At a baseball convention where I expected to learn something about curve balls and bunting and how to run better practices, I had learned something far more valuable. From an old man with home plate strung around his neck, I had learned something about life, about myself, about my own weaknesses and about my responsibilities as a leader. had to hold myself and others accountable to that which IK knew to be right, lest our families, our faith, and our society "Iflam lucky," Coach Scolinos concluded, "you will remember one thing from this old coach today. It is this: "lf we fail to hold ourselves to a higher standard, a standard of what we know to be right; if we fail to hold our spouses and our children to the same standards, if we are unwilling or unable to provide a consequence when they do not meet the standard; and if our schools & churches & our government fail to hold themselves accountable to those they serve, there is but one With that, he held home plate in front of his chest, turned it around, and revealed its dark Note: Coach Scolinos died in 2009 at the age of 91, but not before touching the lives of hundreds of players and coaches, including mine. Meeting him at my first ABCA convention kept me returning year after year, looking for similar wisdom and inspiration from other coaches. He is the best clinic speaker the ABCA has ever known because he was SO much more than a baseball coach.  abyss while we just watch."  continue down an undesirable path.  thing to look forward to ."  black backside, "..We have dark days ahead!."  htps/wwfaebook.com  2/3    5/25/2021  (20-)Facebook  His message was clear: "Coaches, keep your players-no matter how good they are-your own children, your churches, your government, and most of all, keep yourself at seventeen inches."
