The 2017 Tournament Roses Parade theme is “Echo’s of Success”. The theme of the Kiwanis float is “Children’s Dreams The World’s Potential”. The float is built by the Phoenix Decorations Inc. and is sponsored and decorated by the California-‐Nevada-‐Hawaii District. The Pasadena club “The Kiwanis Club of Pasadena Rose Float” was organized as a single focus club to fund the cost of the Kiwanis float. The first Kiwanis float in the Tournament of Roses Parade appeared in 1965. Kiwanis was granted a special permit to be in the parade because it was celebrating its 50th anniversary. It wasn't until 1986, however, before the Kiwanis' application reached the top of a waiting list. Pasadena Kiwanian and tournament committee member Reid Allen helped establish its permanent position in the parade. Homer Maertz, a member of the Kiwanis Club of Lake Forest Cal., raised enough money to pay for the 1986 float; two large ostriches with their heads stuck in the sand. The District Committee coordinates the 7000 volunteers that decorate the Kiwanis float and 10 other floats. They report 56,000 volunteer hours, and assist in the fundraising.
They, the C-‐N-‐H District committee & the Pasadena club, raise funds by selling sponsorships, ranging from $125 to $1,000, and a Grand Prize drawing worth $2,000, including 4 seats at the rose bowl, 4 seats at the rose parade, priority parking, & VIP tailgate party. The tickets sell for: 1 ticket -‐ $5, 4 tickets -‐ $10, and 10 tickets -‐ $20. Other fundraisers include: Golf tournament, Rose sales, Holiday ornaments, Oversized coloring books, and riders on the float, a total of 16, at $2,000 a person. This year’s decoration schedule was:
a. Dry Decorations – Dec. 10th (Sat) & 17th (Sat) from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
b. Floral Decorations – Dec. 26th (Mon) to Dec. 31st (Sat). Shift #1 from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. Shift #2 from 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm.
c. Clean up –Jan 1st (Sun) shift 1 8:00 am – 11:00 pm. touch up & clean up.
Volunteers come from any where in the Cal-‐Nev-‐Haw Distract and other states. Some Kiwanis volunteers have come from Georgia and Florida. The volunteer schedule is filled by Dec. 1st. They are now taking volunteer reservations for volunteers for Dec. 2017 for the 2018 Tournament of Roses Parade. The above was taken from their website at www.kiwanisfloat.com The Kiwanis Club of Pasadena Rose Float club meets once a month at 10:00 am and their board meeting is on the same day at 11:00 am.

MONDAY NEWS
Monday News page 2 of 2 Program cont. refereeing JV’s basketball games Bill Lavel* and Bernie Williams* took him under their wings to help get him started when the OCC went to three (3) referees for the games. After a short period of time the OCC went back to two (2) referees. He and Tommy Venditelli paired up to do the games. This partnership lasted twenty five (25) years until Tommy passed away six (6) years ago. Bill is now officiating with Bruce Varner,* his son–in-‐law Brad Wilken,*and Nathan* Bill’s grandson. With state licensing, there is a lot of studying required for planning their rotation during the games and after the game evaluations of their performances as referees during the game. Coaches can be a pain especially when they want to tell the referees about how a certain player breaks the rules, such as holding, etc. One time when they (Bill and Tommy) were standing at the scorer’s table as protocol required them to do, they were bugged by the coaches so much that they went to the center of the court and turned their backs to the coaches.. This was written up in the 1984 Referees Magazine and thus started a new trend and reduced/ stopped the chatter from the coaches. After the article was published there was another incident when the refs went to the oppsite side of the court. After these incidents the coaches no longer bothered them. A lot of comments have been yelled at referees. Such things as: you need glasses, your blind, make the calls both ways, bad calls, etc. In the second half of a game in Chillicothe; a coach had the ball. Bill went over to get the ball and the coach made a remark. Bill handed him the ball and said “you are doing such a good job of calling the game you call the rest of the game.” The coach did not say another word for the remainder of the game.
At a game in Gahanna Lincoln there was a black line at center court and a yellow line on each side of the black line. All three (3) lines continued across the court . Tommy called an “over and back” and turned the ball over to the other team. After a while he realized he used the wrong line and to correct the error. They decided to give the ball back to the team and add an additional two (2) minutes to the clock. After thinking a little more, Bill said to Tommy, lets add 2.3 minutes to the clock. Boy, did the scorekeeper have a time adjusting the clock to add the .3 of a minute to the clock.
Some times the coaches back up the referees. At a Licking Valley/Utica game a fan, in anger, threw the ball back to to Bill. Fortunatly he caught it before it hit him in the face. The L.V. coach ran over to the fan and had him ejected from the game.
One time Bill was refereeing with Al Deuschle* who is kind of a stocky man. They were talking about the rotation of their positions for the game. Al said he would take care of his area and Bill would do the rest. It so happened Al’s area was the middle of the court and Bill”s was each end. Another time Bill and Tommy were to referee a game in Logan Elm. Tommy wanted to drive his Mustang car to the game. On a snowy night driving to Lancaster the car lights went out. They were between two (2) cars; therefore Tommy was not too concerned until the car in front of them turned onto another road. The car behind them later turned off. This became a problem. Bill was able to reach across Tommy and finally was able to jiggle the wires until they made contact and they had lights. As long as he held them together they had
lights. Finally they came to a service station, and although the fellow was closing for the night he agreed to work on the car. He loaned them his Datsun pick up and Bill and Tommy made it to the game. After the garage attendant returned Tommy’s car, he asked how much he owed him. They were happy when he told them it would be $5 for the repair of the electrical wiring One of the highlites of Bill’s career was the time he refereed the D1 Finals Lacrosse Championship in 1989. Bill was a science and physical education teacher, coach, principal and for 22 years an assistant Superintendant in Newark. He is currently a stength coach for the Denison men’s and women’s varsity swimming and diving teams. He has officiated high school and college Lacross for 55 years. He has officiated high school and college basketball for 50 years. He is currently a Granville Twsp. Trustee and Vice Pres. of School Match an Int. Ed. research and consulting firm.
He is in the Orange High School Hall of Fame, Denison Athletic Hall of Fame, and Ohio Lacross Hall of Fame in all four (4) catagories (pioneer, coach, player, and official).
Bill wears a NCAA D1 National Championship watch in lacrosse and a NCAA DIII National Championship ring in swimming. *I have not verified the spelling of the names.
P R E V I O U S H I S T O R Y f r o m 9 / 1 5 / 1 4 Why did Kiwanis International adopt the ”Young Children Priority One” program? In the June/July Kiwanis Magazine page 24 is an article “ Brain Power” by Julie Saetre that says a baby’s brain developes at an astonishing rate of growth in the first 730 – 1000 days of his/her life. It is this critical period of development that was the catalyst for the YCPO program, which was founded about six (6) years ago. The program
focuses on children from birth to 5 years of age. It was intended to last three (3) years. Kiwanis decided not to discontinue the program.
Note: The round table meeting scheduled for January 2, 2017 was the fourth meeting of a 4fer.
