been royally ... in big trouble ... as they say. Baseball evaluations and the lacrosse parents meeting both hap- pened this week, and even more than the traditional robin red- breast, they are welcome harbin- gers of spring. I know I am not alone when I say I cannot wait to come out of winter hibernation. The lightning speed of today’s technological developments has given rise to a whole new vocabu- lary and even dictated new stan- dards of behavior. When speaking of expected parental behavior on the sidelines at game time, our lacrosse coach suggested that we pose the YouTube question as a yardstick to measure whether be- havior is appropriate or not. In oth- er words, ask yourself whether you would want your words or actions broadcast on YouTube. Interestingly, it’s the very same question that worried me at a recent baseball practice where no bath- rooms were available, and the snow-covered fields were the only option for relief. Were there any surveillance cameras perched on top of the practice facility or street- light that might catch activity that could one day show up on YouTube or Tosh-point-Oh, a completely irreverent and border- line obscene show that’s popular on Comedy Central? Certainly, red light cameras and the fear of capture has prompted some drivers to drive more safely at intersections. In the same way, the fear of having bad behavior cap- tured on a cell phone camera or Flip camera is prompting some people to think twice before behaving bad- ly in public. So if doing the right thing isn’t enough, being caught doing the wrong thing and worse, exposing it to the world might prompt more civility on the sports sidelines and in other places. But then, reality shows like the Real Housewives series, Jersey Shore, and Survivor Island reveal true human nature — that when it comes to behaving badly, some people have no shame and no amount of public disclosure is go- ing to affect their actions. It’s a telling sign of the times. What do you think? You can E- mail me at [email protected]. I’d love to hear from you. 6 THE NEWS FEBRUARY 18, 2011

This program is open to male and female athletes from 7th-12th grade. It is an opportunity for beginners to learn more about the sport of rowing from the Mercer Junior Rowing Club staff. We will teach everything from basic rowing commands and the fundamentals of the stroke to how to race in an eight person shell. No experience is necessary!
