| Owls football has local flavor
Three Berkshire County athletes were members of the Westfield State football team this fall. They are junior Shane Parrott of Pittsfield (Taconic), junior Joe Salvatore of Dalton (Wahconah) and freshman Nick Panetti of Pittsfield (Pittsfield). Parrott is a 6-foot-3, 305 pound lineman. "Shane was our starting offensive tackle who showed great improvement over the last two years," coach Steve Marino said. "He will be a three-year starter next year and anchor a very experienced offensive line." Salvatore, a 6-foot, 270-pounder, is also a member of that offensive line. "Joe won the starting guard job this year because of his toughness and enthusiasm," Marino said. "He also played in the backfield in our goal line package." Panetti, a 6-foot, 256-pound lineman, saw action as a backup.

Published November 29, 2007 Hooping it up: Over 400 kids sign up for recreation league basketball but high numbers ...
As a record-breaking soccer season winds down for the Pickens Recreation Department, another season gets ready to hit high gear with 440 boys and girls ready to play basketball this winter.
With soccer leagues ending in early November for all but All-Star players, basketball players and coaches are already in full swing with practices at area schools.
Recreation Department Director Greg Walker said the county had 300 soccer players this year, comprising 27 teams ranging in age from four to 14.
"We’ve had success at the (soccer) playoffs," Walker said. "We sent five All-star teams, and our Under-12 girls were in the finals and the Under-10 kids in the semi-finals. For being so late starting a soccer program, we’re really starting to make some noise at the district level.

South Africa: The Art of Rewarding Appropriately
THE furore over the Premier Soccer League (PSL) bonuses again raises the dilemmas of executive remuneration and incentives. An executive's ability to lead, to inspire and act creatively, to learn from failure, not to hide behind policy and plan or others' patronage, distinguishes executives who make a valuable difference from the mediocre and those who prefer things to be safe and familiar. Share options and bonus schemes are intended to ensure that organisations get the best talent. "Experts" claim to define what and how value will be created, as if the future were predictable. .
