If you could have any job in sports right now, one that should be at or near the top of the list is agent for a head coach. If the 2012 sports year has taught us anything it’s that good coaching matters. If I’m an agent for any successful head coach or manager right now I’m looking to renegotiate a contract. Strike while the iron is hot.
Exactly how much value a head coach or manager adds to a team is considered a gray area, and has long been a good source for bar room arguments. The chief example is Phil Jackson. Eleven NBA titles as a head coach, the only coach to win more than ten in all of the major North American sports, yet for years his contributions were downplayed because none of those titles came without Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. There was a persistent viewpoint that just about anyone could have coached those Bulls and Lakers teams to titles. That perception shifted with his last two Lakers titles, which were without Shaquille O’Neil and in a more balanced league, and Jackson is now perceived, rightfully in my opinion, as the greatest team coach in history. As great a player as Michael Jordan was, he never won a title without Phil Jackson. But that “chicken or the egg” argument still holds water with some people. After 2012 I think it can be finally put to bed.

Stillwater Supervisor Ed Kinowski received an email from Malta Parks, Recreation and Human Resources Director Audrey Ball recently, wondering if some Stillwater folks, especially those along the town's multi-use trail, would like to sit in on her town's informational meeting offered by the Sheriff, on organizing a local Neighborhood Watch.
She had seen reports in the Express of vandalisms in Stillwater, and wondered if townspeople in Stillwater might be interested in hearing more about Neighborhood Watch, by attending a meeting already set in Malta.
Kinowski said he thinks folks along the Town's multi-use trail will be very interested.

The devastation wrought over the past week by Hurricane Sandy in New York City and coastal areas from the Carolinas to Cape Cod has once again driven home to us how fragile life is and how much we depend on helping hands from our fellow man when Mother Nature or other circumstances throw challenges at us that we cannot overcome alone.
Here in our small town world, it seems that we can always count on our neighbors to reach out their helping hands whenever we need them. And with Thanksgiving right around the corner, now is the time for all of us to offer whatever help we can provide.
