The issue of re-development and a new vision for civic growth is more
important than ever in Mequon. The current pace of re-development
and city growth is having an adverse impact on business, residential
housing opportunities and most importantly, our schools.
Mayor Gielow is dependent on the input from community members,
business owners, and most importantly, parents to create a new vision
for re-development and growth in our city. As parents and citizens of
Mequon, it is our responsibility to collaboratively develop a new vision
of re-development for our city with the aldermen we elect to the city
council.
Do you know what your alderman’s position is on re-development and
growth for our city?
Please join us for this macro-level discussion about re-development and
growth in our City, the public schools and what we can do to enhance
our award winning school district. This meeting is open to everyone.
Spread the word.

Love Your
Your Life
When it comes down to it, you must first
love yourself before you can truly love others
and you must love yourself before you can
accept that others truly love you.
”There's nothing more important than what you think
of yourself, your essential being, the health of your
self-esteem and your worthiness to give love and be loved.”
~ Unknown
•
•
•
•
•
Pay Yourself A Compliment: Give yourself a
compliment at least once a day. It could be something like
"I really liked the way I handled that situation.” The
compliment can be deep or superficial. Highlight the
positive aspect of every situation you encounter. If you
practice this often, you're on your way to liking yourself a
whole lot better.
Get Physically Fit: Simple daily exercises to boost your
blood flow every morning will do. You will feel better,
your mood will be more positive, and you will be more
congenial with other people. The more positive energy you
give out, the more beautiful you become - and the more
people will be inclined to return positive vibes to you, too.
Treat Yourself: Set aside time once a week to do
something just for you. It could be anything from watching
a cheesy movie to walking your dog in the park. As long as
it's time for you,
• doing what you want to do.
Do A Good Deed: Do something good for someone else.
You will find that things like volunteering at a homeless
shelter, or even helping somebody who is lost by giving
them proper directions, will make you feel good for the
rest of the day. You will be doing something worthwhile
and when you see how badly off some people are, you will
start to appreciate your life more and be grateful for what
you have.
Texting: Reminders and messages are important, and we
all learn early on that unkind words can hurt. In that spirit,
text a compliment or kind word to a friend.
Positive Parent Involvement (PPI)
is a community-wide network of parents who are
dedicated to working together to promote healthy
lifestyles for our youth. PPI meetings are open to all
parents. For meeting times, dates, and location:

So, if you look at it that way, perhaps “Love
Your Life Day” is one of the most important
holidays we celebrate!
Let the following quotes remind you of that.
•
"You, yourself, as much as anybody in
the entire universe, deserve your love
and affection." ~ Buddha
•
"It ain't what they call you, it's what
you answer to." ~ W.C. Fields
Take care of yourself, not just everyone else…
•
•
•
•
•
Design a life that supports you, not
depletes you.
Create relationships full of unconditional
love.
Celebrate who you are today, not who you
may be later.
Focus on what you’ve done, instead of
what you haven’t.
Express- instead of repress- your body,
mind, and spirit.
YOUTH SPEAK
“Remind me that I’m worthwhile.”
“Encourage me to give tough things my best shot.”
“Understand that I hope things will go well for me in
the future.”
The Power of a Positive Identity
Our identities are always in a state of flux.
Depending on what’s currently happening
in your life, you may feel confident or
unsure, optimistic about the future or
pessimistic, that you have some control
or little control. These ups and downs are
normal for you and they’re normal for your
child. It’s also normal for your child’s
identity to vary from situation to situation.
For example, your child may have a much
more positive sense of her or his athletic
“self” than social “self” (or vice versa).
What’s important, however, is what a
person’s identity is like most of the time.
People who have a strong sense of self still
maintain that sense even when difficulties
arise. They continue to be hopeful and
optimistic, when circumstances seem to be
trying to persuade them otherwise.
What do you think of the identity your child
is forming? Is this someone you like? Is this
someone who surprises you at times?
Is this someone who, overall, has a sense of
purpose, power, worth, and promise?
While identity is partially determined by
genetics, you still have a lot of power to
bring out the best in your child. The way
you interact with your child helps your child
feel loved or unloved.
The ways you respond to your child’s
successes, mistakes, actions, and words also
build either a sense of positive or negative
identity. The positive identity assets tie in
closely with the support assets.
A child who feels loved, supported, and
nurtured is more apt to feel good about
her or himself. Children whose home,
school, neighborhood, and community see
the best in them are more apt to bring out the
best in themselves. The choice is ours. Love
children and children will learn to love
themselves.
Source: Search Institute
4 Key Areas of Positive Identity
Search Institute researchers have identified four
positive-identity assets that are crucial for helping
young people grow up healthy. Check the areas of
strength in your child’s life.
Personal power- Your child feels he or
she has control over things that happen to
her or him.
Self-esteem- Your child reports having a
high self-esteem.
Sense of purpose- Your child reports that
her or his life has a purpose.
Positive view of personal future- Your
child is optimistic about her or his
personal future

Vol 7
Dear TMYBA Family,
Baseball and softball seasons are fast approaching! The TMYBA Board has been meeting since September to plan for
the upcoming season. As always, our goal is to continue to improve the experience for our young athletes.
I would like to highlight a few items for the upcoming season:
The TMYBA Open House will be held in the Homestead cafeteria on Sunday, February 13 from 1:30 – 4:00.
TMYBA will continue its partnership with the Positive Coaching Alliance. We require that all first year coaches take
an on-line training course prior to the season. We will also be asking returning coaches to take a new PCA course
“Culture, Practices and Games.” TMYBA will be covering the registration fee for the courses. Further information
will be provided to coaches as the season approaches.
The Rookie Softball League completed its second season last year and was a big success. We would like to
encourage girls in K5 to 2nd grade to register for the upcoming season. Look for further information inside
in Rookie Girls Needed.
The Board has established the following registration fees for this season:
By March 1
Rookie Leagues$100
All Other Leagues$135
After March 1
$150
$185
The experience our kids have in sports is greatly influenced by the quality of the coaching. We will
continue to provide offseason opportunities for coaches to learn about teaching baseball and
softball fundamentals. We will also continue our partnership with the Positive Coaching
Alliance (“PCA”) to help our coaches teach the important life lessons that can be learned
through sports. Additional information on clinics for coaches and players can be found in
this newsletter.

I need to thank many people who are important to the success of TMYBA. The coaches
volunteer a great deal of time and it is appreciated! Our umpiring program continues to be
successful and the umpires did a great job last season. I would also like to thank our generous
sponsors for their support.

Rookie Girl Players Needed
TMYBA started a Rookie Softball League for girls in grades K5 – 2nd in 2009.
The league has been very well received and the girls have had lots of fun.
The league is a low pressure way to expose young girls to the joys of playing
softball. Practices and games are held on Tuesday and Thursday nights at
Steffen fields.
The majority of girls in Rookie Softball in 2010 were in 2nd grade
and will be promoted to Girls’ Minor League this season. Our goal
is to continue to field four teams in this league so if you have a
daughter in K5 – 2nd grade, please consider signing her up. If
you have any questions, please contact Brian Konya at
brian@konyacommunications.com.
Veterans Eligible
9th Grade Boys
Again this season, 9th grade boys that do not make their spring or summer high
school baseball team will be eligible to play in the TMYBA Major League. Since
most high school squads don’t have their tryouts until well after TMYBA rosters
are completed, we request any ninth grader who may want to play TMYBA to
register no later than March 1. Any ninth grader who subsequently makes their
high school team, will receive a full refund. If you have any questions, please
contact Tom Price at tprice34@gmail.com.
Spring Training
Winter Open Gym Time
TMYBA is providing several opportunities for players and coaches to improve
their skills during the winter months. They are for TMYBA players and coaches
only and are free of charge. If anyone has questions, please contact
Tom Price at tprice34@gmail.com.
Open Gyms
The Lake Shore gym will be open from 8:45 am – 10:30 am on four Saturday
mornings in February and March. Dates are February 19 and March 5, 12 and
26. Players will have the opportunity to work on their fielding, pitching and
hitting skills. All players must be accompanied by a guardian to participate.
No exceptions. Guardians will be asked to sign a waiver prior to participating
in their first session.
Coaching Clinics
TMYBA requires that all coaches attend one of our coaching clinics. We will be
offering three clinics in March. The dates are Tuesday, March 15; Monday, March
21 and Saturday, March 26. Please see the Play Ball! section of the newsletter
for times and location. Hitting, fielding and throwing mechanics and drills will be
covered at each of the clinics. Please check the website for further information.
The Bullpen
Help Wanted
Board Members Wanted
TMYBA is run by volunteers and several of
our long-standing Board members are
nearing the end of their tenure. Serving
on the TMYBA Board is a fulfilling
activity that allows Board members
to give back to our community
by providing an opportunity for
our children to play baseball and
softball. In order to avoid having the
Board’s activities fall on fewer people,
please consider volunteering if you have
a child in TMYBA. If interested, contact Tom
Price at tprice34@gmail.com.
Sponsors
If interested in sponsoring your child’s team,
the cost is $300 for one team or $500 for two
teams. Sponsors may place their company
name or logo on team uniforms. TMYBA is a
501(c)(3) organization and all donations are
tax-deductible. Interested sponsors should
contact Tom Price at tprice34@gmail.com.
Umpires
Looking to be outdoors this summer and earn
some good money? Do you love baseball or
softball? Are you confident in your abilities to
make quick and accurate decisions based on
league rules?
If yes to the above, TMYBA wants you to be
an umpire for the upcoming 2011 season.
Umpires must be at least 12 years old and
have played at least two years of baseball or
softball. Adult umpires are also welcome.
If interested, please sign up at www.tmyba.org
or at our Open House on February 13.
All umpires will be required to attend a
training course in March. The schedule for
the courses has not been finalized, but will
be posted by February 13 under the Umpire
section of the TMYBA website.
For additional information, you can also
contact Stephen Valentine, Umpire Director,
at steveweve@wi.rr.com.
Website
We work hard to keep our website (tmyba.org)
updated. Hopefully the answer to any
TMYBA-related question can be found on
the website. We also provide other baseballrelated links and information on the site
including information on local baseball clinics.
