			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><em><strong>Quick fact sheet</strong></em></h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Penn Jersey Roller Derby (PJRD) is a co-ed roller derby league that is skater-owned and operated</strong>. It consists of 4 teams, the Hooligans (our Men’s team), She Devils (women’s travel team) and 2 intra-league women’s teams. PJRD expects to add new women’s teams in the near future.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>PJRD skates monthly games from September to June, with a one-month break in December.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>PJRD is a member of the</strong> <strong>Old School Derby Association </strong>(<strong>OSDA</strong>). The OSDA’s other member leagues include: Chesapeake Roller Derby (Maryland), Man’s Ruin Roller Derby (New York), Richmond Derby Demons (Virginia), and South Jersey Derby.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Founded as the Penn Jersey She Devils (PJSD) in 2005 by Ken Sikes and Greg Spencer, ours was the first league to bring roller derby back to the Philadelphia region after almost 30 years. In the interest of better reflecting our co-ed status, the league’s name was updated to Penn Jersey Roller Derby in 2010.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>In the interest of keeping today&#8217;s version of derby as close to banked-track rules as possible, Penn Jersey helped found the Old School Derby Association in 2007. OSDA’s rules are designed specifically to keep derby real, rough, and unpredictable &#8211; as it should be!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>For the past 5 years, PJRD has skated flat track derby, as do most of the hundred plus leagues around the world. However, we are excited to announce our evolution into <strong>the only active banked track league on the east coast, and the only co-ed amateur banked track league in the world</strong>!</li>
</ul>
<h4>OSDA Mission Statement</h4>
<p>The OSDA was created for those who want to skate something more akin to what the original Roller Derby was like. It is the goal of OSDA &amp; its members to restore ties with “Old School” skaters, trainers and coaches from past decades and learn from their experiences and input. It is our belief that there is a huge untapped fan base out there longing for Roller Derby skated in Old School fashion. OSDA feels that by excluding those legendary Old School skaters and patrons, many find they cannot connect enthusiastically to the sport they used to love.</p>
<p>Old School rules were created by melding many of the current developments in Flat Track Derby with the rules used by Old School Banked Track Roller Derby skaters. These rules were developed by the Penn Jersey She Devils through consultation with representatives from Derby teams from the 70s and we believe add to an exciting game for both the fans &amp; the players.</p>
<p>We believe that it is possible to entertain and inspire a crowd with an aggressive, hard-skated Old School game. OSDA believes that the draw was, is, and should continue to be the game, pure &amp; simple, no gimmicks, just the incredible skill of the skaters.</p>
<p>It is the goal of the OSDA to once again show the beauty of a game that has kept Derby fans Derby fans for years.</p>

<p><strong>Media Coverage, Events, and Exposure</strong></p>
<p>Since its inception, Penn Jersey has had widespread media exposure. A full list can be found at: http://shedevilsrollerderby.com/Sponsors.html<strong> </strong></p>
<p>Highlights have included: Segments on NBC10, CN8, Comcast Sportsnet, and an OSDA-wide episode on Food Network&#8217;s Dinner Impossible. Our league has also been featured in articles in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Weekly, Philadelphia Metro, the Trentonian, Bucks County Courier Times, Bucks County Midweek, the cover of Philly Fit, and many more. Members of Penn Jersey were also recently featured in the latest music video from CKY, “A#1 Roller Rager”<strong> </strong></p>
<p>Penn Jersey has also held multiple events at local Philly establishments such as Drinker’s Tavern, the Barbary, and the Pontiac Grille to drive recruitment and roller derby awareness.  Some of our other events have included:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hosting classic roller derby film nights at the Balcony Bar at the Trocadero.</li>
<li>Having tables at local tattoo and horror conventions, such as Monstermania and Philadelphia Eddie’s Tattoo Arts Convention.</li>
<li>Throwing numerous ‘Band Showcase’ fundraisers to generate support for local musicians as well as PJRD.</li>
<li>Participation in Philly and South NJ parades for St. Patrick’s day and other community celebrations</li>
</ul>
<p>As of January 2010, we are proud to announce that we have a new permanent home in Philadelphia, PA at 19<sup>th</sup> and Indiana Streets. Our new facility is a 20,000 square foot warehouse that houses both banked and flat tracks. This space enables us to host our own shows, parties, and events to drive recruitment, awareness, and sponsorship. Located just north of Temple University’s campus, it is easily accessed through public transportation and features private off-street parking. It is our intention to keep banked track roller derby in Philadelphia for years to come. We will be skating our monthly flat track games in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as well as traveling to other OSDA leagues, with plans to begin skating banked track games before the summer of 2010.</p>
<p>In the months leading up to our banked track debut, we will be hosting numerous events at our new, dedicated facility, and we are looking for local businesses that would like to cross-promote and sponsor Penn Jersey Roller Derby.  In the enclosed materials, you will find different sponsorship packages that are designed to combine promotional and awareness opportunities for your business with incentives and benefits for you and your employees.</p>

<p><strong>Benefits of Sponsoring Penn Jersey Roller Derby</strong></p>
<p>PJRD is a skater-owned and operated league. Your support will help us to keep and maintain our derby arena, hold skill development camps, allow us to purchase equipment for training and games, and help make sure that banked track roller derby stays in Philadelphia for years to come!</p>
<p>In addition to supporting a dynamic and dedicated group of athletes, your sponsorship co-brands your business as one committed to helping PJRD return old school roller derby to its former glory in Philadelphia. In our first year, the league barely had enough players to fill two teams, but we have grown over the years to create the six-league OSDA organization, a travel team, a men’s team, intra-league teams, and are currently welcoming a fresh group of rookies! Coupled with our new status as the only active banked track on the East coast, this is a very exciting time for PJRD with significant growth potential!</p>
<p>Below is a list of e-mail contacts for general areas of interest. The following pages contain several levels of sponsorship packages we have to offer, as well as a program advertisement sizing and price list. We can also create a custom package to fit your needs. Just let us know how you are interested in supporting us and we will work with you to make things happen. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about Penn Jersey Roller Derby. We look forward to doing business with you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PJRD Intra-league game – 02/20/2010</p>
<p>The season opener for the Penn Jersey Roller Derby league took place on Saturday, February 20th at their home in Mt. Laurel – the International Sports Center.  The event was called the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre and featured a game between The Bleeding Hearts and The Killer Cupids. </p>
<p>The Bleeding Hearts were co-captained by Classy Chassis and Deuces Wild, while The Killer Cupids were co-captained by Lucky Luciano and Shampain.  In the end, the Bleeding Hearts defeated the Killer Cupids by a score of 61 to 48.  Although it doesn’t look it, the score was very close for more than half of the game and it wasn’t until a jam in the final period that saw the Bleeding Hearts score 12 big points and pull away for good.</p>
<p>There are many good points to this game that must be mentioned.  The defense was excellent. This was a true Old School style Roller Derby game from all angles.  I’ve said it before; Derby is the sum of all parts – offense, defense and strategy.  This game featured all of the above.                   </p>
<p>The teams were equally staffed by veterans and rookies.  The rookies were being tested to see if they could hang with the veterans and they did extremely well.  They skated a hard game and Bexi Wrexi was the highest scoring rookie with 12 points.</p>
<p>Announcing was handled by Henry Rollins who is an ace at the mic and newcomer FoXXXy Contin who did an excellent announcing job.  The league has all bases covered with Henry, Rhonda, FoXXXy, Judy Sowinski and founder Ken Sikes at the mic.</p>
<p>A big Welcome Home to Vidal Boom Boom who returned to the PJRD and skated in her first game in over a year.  Unfortunately, she lived up to her name – Boom Boom and went down hard on her elbow.  Turns out she broke off the cap of the elbow and it required surgery to repair it.  Heal quickly Boom Boom.  You’ll be missed out there! </p>
<p>High scorers were Sloppy Jo with 28 points for the Killer Cupids, Hellanor Rollsevelt with 26 point and Miss Chievous with 19 points for the winning Bleeding Hearts.</p>
<p>After this excellent game and with the addition of a banked track and warehouse in Philadelphia, the future looks very bright indeed for Penn Jersey Roller Derby.   </p>
<p>Jersey Joe</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PJRD Intra-league game – 02/20/2010</p>
<p>The season opener for the Penn Jersey Roller Derby league took place on Saturday, February 20th at their home in Mt. Laurel – the International Sports Center.  The event was called the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre and featured a game between The Bleeding Hearts and The Killer Cupids. </p>
<p>The Bleeding Hearts were co-captained by Classy Chassis and Deuces Wild, while The Killer Cupids were co-captained by Lucky Luciano and Shampain.  In the end, the Bleeding Hearts defeated the Killer Cupids by a score of 61 to 48.  Although it doesn’t look it, the score was very close for more than half of the game and it wasn’t until a jam in the final period that saw the Bleeding Hearts score 12 big points and pull away for good.</p>
<p>There are many good points to this game that must be mentioned.  The defense was excellent. This was a true Old School style Roller Derby game from all angles.  I’ve said it before; Derby is the sum of all parts – offense, defense and strategy.  This game featured all of the above.                   </p>
<p>The teams were equally staffed by veterans and rookies.  The rookies were being tested to see if they could hang with the veterans and they did extremely well.  They skated a hard game and Bexi Wrexi was the highest scoring rookie with 12 points.</p>
<p>Announcing was handled by Henry Rollins who is an ace at the mic and newcomer FoXXXy Contin who did an excellent announcing job.  The league has all bases covered with Henry, Rhonda, FoXXXy, Judy Sowinski and founder Ken Sikes at the mic.</p>
<p>A big Welcome Home to Vidal Boom Boom who returned to the PJRD and skated in her first game in over a year.  Unfortunately, she lived up to her name – Boom Boom and went down hard on her elbow.  Turns out she broke off the cap of the elbow and it required surgery to repair it.  Heal quickly Boom Boom.  You’ll be missed out there! </p>
<p>High scorers were Sloppy Jo with 28 points for the Killer Cupids, Hellanor Rollsevelt with 26 point and Miss Chievous with 19 points for the winning Bleeding Hearts.</p>
<p>After this excellent game and with the addition of a banked track and warehouse in Philadelphia, the future looks very bright indeed for Penn Jersey Roller Derby.   </p>
<p>Jersey Joe</p>

<p>Today, April 5, would have been the 106th birthday of Roller Derby’s creator, LEO SELTZER. A visionary and promoter, Leo came up with the idea of the banked track sport, men and women competing on an equal basis, and it was only because of Seltzer that Roller Derby became a reality. Leo Seltzer saw Roller Derby become the talk of the nation, saw it become overexposed on TV, lose its luster, then rise again thru the efforts of his son, Jerry, and he would have been delighted with how a version of his game has once again created so much excitement around the country. Anyone who loves the game, no matter how it is played or executed, admires what Leo Seltzer brought forth.</p>
<p>Happy birthday to Roller Derby’s founding father, Leo Seltzer.<br />
Gary Powers </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Judy Sowinski</h2>
<p>I’d like to join the others here is wishing Best Birthday Wishes  to Judy Sowinski. Years ago when she showed up down on Market Street to  meet with my partner &amp; I, I knew that we had had a fortunate bit of  luck. Little did I know how fortunate we would become as an offer to  help us out occasionally became a full time coach. And then she brought  on Skip Schoen.   And the luck just continued. But more important than  the She Devils and the <strong>Old</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>Derby</strong> Associations professional luck was my  personal luck. I can honestly say that I’m proud to call both Judy &amp;  Skip my friends &amp; surrogate family. So once again I say Happy  Birthday to the Red Shirt who had faith in me long ago. I hope to some  day make you as proud of me as I am of you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Arnold &#8220;Skip&#8221; Schoen &#8211; Career by Roller <b style="color:#000;background:#ffcc99">Derby</b></h2>
<p>March 1968- on Warriors in Philly for 2 games as a temporary substitute for Richard Brown (first games as a pro.)</p>
<p>June 1968- on Hawks in Philly skating against Warriors.</p>
<p>January 1969- on Hawks in Philly skating against Warriors.</p>
<p>June 1969- on Warriors in Philly as a temporary substitute for Corky Fisher.</p>
<p>October 1969- on Hawks as a temporary substitute for Pete Mangone in Philly skating against Warriors.</p>
<p>February 1970- on Devils in Philly skating against Warriors.</p>
<p>March 1970- on Devils in Florida skating against Jets.</p>
<p>April 1970- on Devils in Philly skating against Warriors.</p>
<p>May 1970- on Devils in Florida skating against Jets.</p>
<p>June 1970- on NY Bombers in Eastern Regional Playoffs in Philly skating against Warriors, Jets and Outlaws.</p>
<p>October 1970- on NY Bombers in Philly skating against Warriors.</p>
<p>November 1970- on Hawks in Midwest skating against T-Birds in Canton, OH.</p>
<p>November 1970- on Hawks in Thanksgiving Playoffs in Philly skating against Warriors, T-Birds and Outlaws.</p>
<p>January 1971- on Hawks in Philly skating against Warriors.</p>
<p>March 1971- on Devils in Philly skating against Warriors.</p>
<p>July 1971 to December 1973- on Warriors in Philly, Hawaii and Puerto Rico (he broke his leg in Hawaii in June 1972 and didn&#8217;t skate again until November 1972).</p>
<p>January 1974- on Renegades in Baltimore-Washington skating against Cats.</p>
<p>December 1974- on Canadian Braves in Philly skating against Warriors.</p>
<p>The year 1975- unknown if he skated during this time. I don&#8217;t have any records of him skating and Skip doen&#8217;t remember if he skated in 1975 either.</p>
<p>January 1976 to May 1976- on Buddy Wagner&#8217;s Warriors in Philly.</p>
<p>Summer and Fall 1976- on Rose Patterson&#8217;s Warrior All Stars on east coast.</p>
<p>January 1981 to April or May 1981- on Rose Patterson&#8217;s Warrior All Stars on east coast.</p>
<p>Late 1991 to early 1992- on the Bob Raskin owned league Jolters on east coast (this group only played 4 games).</p>
<p>So Skip has skated for quite some time and for quite a few teams in his distinguished career.</p>

<p>Formed in March 2007, by two Mullica Hill sisters (Mos Deathly and Billy Rae Siren) South Jersey <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> has grown from only a handful of girls skating at local parks to more than 50 hard-working, <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">derby</strong>-lovin girls and guys!</p>
<p>Initally all-female, an overwhelming interest led the league in October 2007 to open its membership to include men. The league is now comprised of a women’s travel team, the SJ <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> Girls; an all-men’s team, the SJ <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> Deviants; and a co-ed team, the SJ <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> All-Stars. All three teams, compete up and down the East Coast, and at their home rink the Deptford Skating Center in Westville.</p>
<p>SJD has been an OSDA member since its conception, and will host the second annual Colossal Coastal Roller Expo in summer 2010 at the Wildwood Convention Center in Wildwood, NJ.</p>
<p>SJD is quickly gaining a repetition for hard-hitting blockers, fast-dodging jammers, and jaw-dropping agility.</p>

<p><strong>October 24th, 2009  Penn Jersey She Devils vs. Man’s Ruin</strong></p>
<p>The International Sports Center rocked on October 24th when the hometown Penn Jersey She Devils hosted a game against the visiting Man’s Ruin team from Chester, NY.</p>
<p>This game saw the return to action of local favorites Lucky Luciano, Sloppy Jo, and Deuces Wild from injuries and rookie standout Hellanor Rollsevelt who had scheduling conflicts the past couple games.  Their return was most noticeable.  This was one of the best games I’ve ever witnessed in over 2 years of following the OSDA.</p>
<p>In a very defensive game, the PJSD’s defeated MR by a score of 59-31.  The score does not reflect how close the game seemed to everyone in attendance.  The blocking very hard with standout performances by PJSD’s Lucky Luciano and MR’s Tienty Deville and Tazer.</p>
<p>The PJSD’s are working very well on defense and offense and the pack blockers did a very good job picking off the opposing blockers to pave the way for their incoming jammers.  Every team should follow their lead because it made a huge difference on the score board.</p>
<p>Going back to the 2008 OSDA Championships to now, Man’s Ruin has to be the most improved team in the league.  It’s a real pleasure to watch them skate together as a cohesive team and their hard work is very evident.</p>
<p>The next date in Mt. Laurel is November 21st and will feature 3 games.  The first two games will be 2-15 minute periods and the fans will select which teams skate each other.  The winners of games 1 and 2 will face each other in the championship game which will consist of 4 – 15 minute periods.</p>
<p>Good Luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Jersey Joe</p>

In this TWENTY-PAGE program, measuring 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ in EXCELLENT condition, you’ll read PROFILES of the FOUR COMPETING TEAMS in this tournament – the PENN JERSEY SHE DEVILS, RICHMOND <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">DERBY</strong> DEMONS, SOUTH JERSEY <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">DERBY</strong> ALL-STARS &amp; eventual winners (and new OSDA champions) New York’s MAN’S RUIN ROLLER <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">DERBY</strong>, plus a PROFILE of the newest OSDA league member, Maryland’s CHESAPEAKE ROLLER <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">DERBY</strong>.  There’s also TEAM LINE-UPS, ROLLER <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">DERBY</strong> RULES, plus a list of UPCOMING OSDA DATES for 2010!!!!  This will make a great addition to your Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> collection especially since the OSDA seems to be the future of Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong>!!!!  High Bidder agrees to pay FIRST CLASS ($3.00) Shipping &amp; Handling with gratitude from all those who will benefit from your support!

<p>She left us three years ago today, March 14, and although in many ways it was a blessing since she was in such horrible pain during the last years of her life, ANNA THERESA CALVELLO will always live in the hearts and minds of all who knew her.</p>
<p>Many fans got to know her during the transformative part of her Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> career, when she started skating ‘red’ in the early 60s, instantly becoming one of the most famous skaters in the history of the sport, but those of us who got to spend time with her, got to know Ann up close and personal, were privileged to see the vulnerable little girl who was always fighting to be seen… and yes, that was the Calvello we came to love and protect.</p>
<p>She first called me ‘L.A.’ for ‘Lily-Assed, ‘ because I was afraid to call her. I mean, she WAS Ann Calvello, for God’s sake! Then later, she started calling me the ‘Golden Boy’ and yep, she had a nickname for everyone. Because of what had happened to her in life, she could immediately recognize the good guys from the phonies. Unlike what she did on the banked track, in real life, she pulled no punches. She told it like it was and if that was a character flaw, so be it… she was true to herself, confronting harsh realities, cutting to the chase, defining the truth as she saw it (and she always seemed to be right on target…) as an expression of her love.</p>
<p>Anna Theresa, that’s what I always called her, had overcome one obstacle after another during her long, colorful, unique journey thru life. If others felt sorry for what had happened to her, she never did. When she left us three years ago, a few began rewriting the history of Ann’s life, something she would never have allowed when she was alive and there are always reasons some rewrite a story, but those who know the truth… still know the truth. It’s not always pretty or perfect or pure, but it’s true, a word Calvello loved.</p>
<p>When I met her, I needed a mother and she needed someone to mother. I feel so fortunate to have gotten to know Ann so intimately during the last years of her life. I think of her every day and still miss her. She may be gone, but she’s still a strong presence in my life and will always live, LARGER THAN LIFE, in the hearts and minds of all who knew her. That’s the ultimate gift she left us with…</p>
<p>May she rest in peace and may the bright light that was Anna Theresa Calvello always show each of us the way.</p>
<p>Gary P.</p>

<p>–</p>
<p>Here at Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> Foundation, we’re always bringing THE BEST in Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> MEMORABILIA to true fans the world over as we continue to GIVE BACK to these GREAT STARS of the game, bringing fans &amp; former skaters together to CELEBRATE the banked track sport.  And we are ALWAYS open to enouraging &amp; supporting any of the all-girl FLAT TRACK leagues when they express interest in the history of the sport!!!  And one of the MOST COLORFUL  STARS in the history of the sport was the WILD &amp; UNPREDICTABLE Ann Calvello known as ‘QUEEN OF THE PENALTY BOX’!!!!  So this week, we’re pleased to offer ANN CALVELLO’s game-worn SHORTS!!!!!  This San Francisco native was born in Newport, Rhode Island on August 1, 1929, joined Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> in 1948 and within six months was acting captain of the PHILADELPHIA PANTHERS!!!!  She later skated with the NEW YORK CHIEFS &amp; SAN FRANCISCO BAY BOMBERS before going ‘red’ in 1960, skating with the BROOKLYN RED DEVILS, beginning a career as one of the greatest ‘red shirt’ female stars the game ever saw!!!!  Anna Theresa Calvello was Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong>’s greatest ambassador, GIVING BACK to the game in a career that lasted over SEVEN DECADES!!!!  She left us on March 14, 2006, but her indomitable SPIRIT &amp; ENERGY lives on… and here’s your chance to own a part of Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> history by BIDDING &amp; WINNING Calvello’s shorts!!!!!  These shorts, obviously worn in many games but still in tact, were made by SAND-KNIT, are SIZE 30, has a working zipper and two snap buttons on the top!!!!  CALVELLO donated these shorts to Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> Foundation back in 2001 and we know she’d be more than delighted knowing they’d be worn by another generation of skaters or in the hands of a longtime fan!  And come to think of it… won’t these shorts look great on your favorite flat-track roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">derby</strong> gal?  And probably when she’s wearing these, she’ll either be league MVP or another ‘Queen of the Penalty Box’!!!???  As you can see from the scan, Ann put her initials on the inside waist band of these shorts.  She probably wore these shorts when leading the OHIO JOLTERS &amp; SOUTHWEST RED DEVILS or another of her many teams and if not worn, they’ll look great when framed with a photo of the Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> Hall-of-Famer!!!!  BID TODAY!!!!  The lucky HIGH BIDDER agrees to pay $7 for PRIORITY shipping.</p>

<p>I headed down to the Flying W Resort in Medford, NJ for the Friday</p>
<p>evening Meet and Greet.  As usual, I was a bit early, arriving around</p>
<p>6:45pm.  I called Gary Powers and found out he was in the dining room</p>
<p>with Vinnie Gandolfo, Jim Trotter and his lovely wife.  I believe her</p>
<p>first name is Jackie, but don’t quote me.  I’m the worst with names.</p>
<p>Jim “The King” Trotter looks very good!  You’d never believe he is 70</p>
<p>years <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffff66;">old</strong>. Since he finished his skating career, he has taken up golf</p>
<p>and even told me he can hit ‘em further than some 20-30 year olds!</p>
<p>Look at him, I believe it!  Not only is he a nice man but he is</p>
<p>really funny too.  His wife is simply put – a real lady.</p>
<p>Shortly after I joined the crowd, in came the Atkinsons – Buddy Jr.</p>
<p>and wife Dru Scott who celebrated their 50th anniversary yesterday!</p>
<p>Buddy stole the show the rest of the night.  The man has a genuine</p>
<p>wit and is an excellent story teller.  I had a great time listening</p>
<p>to his stories and watching two of the OSDA skaters – Lucky and Jeff</p>
<p>who absorbed every word like sponges.</p>
<p>Judy Arnold came in with her friends Karen and I totally missed the</p>
<p>other ladies’ name.  Tom Wersderfer, a member here and former Roller</p>
<p>Games referee showed up a bit later, as did Arnold “Skip” Schoen and</p>
<p>other members of the PJSD’s.</p>
<p>Listening to Buddy made the time fly by and before you knew it, it</p>
<p>was almost 12:30am.  So, I headed home to rest up for a long day to</p>
<p>come.</p>
<p>My son Matt and I had tickets for the NRDHF banquet at the Flying W</p>
<p>which was from noon-5pm.  Matt and I got their early and helped set</p>
<p>up the concession stand tables.  Matt worked the tables the entire 5</p>
<p>hours and I was very proud of him, as he has had zero retail</p>
<p>experience, but one adult after another kept telling me that he’s</p>
<p>such a nice young man.  I’m biased, so I agreed with them.  lol</p>
<p>Throughout the banquet, one skater after another – Richard Brown,</p>
<p>Judy Sowinski, Skip Schoen, The Atkinsons, Vinnie Gandolfo, Hazel</p>
<p>Roop (who skated in 1936!!), Crystal Prioleau, Lynn Congleton,</p>
<p>Richard Perti, Cameron Glenn, joined the skaters of the OSDA and</p>
<p>shared great stories and good food.  I watched over my son for the</p>
<p>majority of the event and helped the OSDA sell the game programs.</p>
<p>Phil Berrier did a FANTASTIC job on this program and I’d rank it up</p>
<p>there with the best of the best.</p>
<p>During the banquet, Gary allowed Tim Spann and I to present awards to</p>
<p>Vinnie Gandolfo and Skip Schoen.  I presented a trophy to Vinnie, who</p>
<p>was so animated during the 2007 Hall of Fame event, yelling “WHERE’S</p>
<p>MY TROPHY?!” to anyone who would listen.  I think he was a little</p>
<p>surprised, to say the least.  Tim and a couple other referees</p>
<p>presented a trophy to Skip as their head referee and mentor.  Gary</p>
<p>presented the first Pioneer award to Hazel Roop.  What an amazing and</p>
<p>sweet lady!  I was honored to meet her.</p>
<p>After the event, Gary, Skip, Bobby, Matt and I headed to the rink and</p>
<p>then went to McDonald’s for something quick to eat.</p>
<p>We got back to the rink and quickly got kicked out of the dressing</p>
<p>room by Coach Sowinski.  You’ve haven’t lived until you’ve been</p>
<p>ordered around by Judy Sowinski.  Gotta love her!  lol</p>
<p>Matt, Tom and I set up all the chairs for the VIP section, and we</p>
<p>watched as a large crowd headed into the International Sports</p>
<p>Center.  I could be wrong, but I think this might have been their</p>
<p>biggest crowd.</p>
<p>The skating?  The best I’ve ever seen at an OSDA game.  They had 4 -</p>
<p>15 minute periods between the Penn Jersey She Devils and the South</p>
<p>Jersey <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> Dolls which was won by the Penn Jersey She Devils by a</p>
<p>blow out — 77 – 21.</p>
<p>In between the 1st and 2nd period and the 2nd and 3rd period were two</p>
<p>15 minute co-ed scrimmages between Man’s Ruin of Chester,NY and</p>
<p>Richmond <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> Demons of Virginia.  Man’s Ruin won this close contest</p>
<p>by a score of 33-30.</p>
<p>The game MVP was Classy Chassis of Penn Jersey She Devils who scored</p>
<p>23 pts, threw a classic leg whip that had the pros pointing and</p>
<p>saying, “Did you see that?!” and blocked with the best of ‘em.</p>
<p>The men’s MVP was Siegtermans of Man’s Ruin.  The Man’s Ruin skaters</p>
<p>all skated with their last names, no nick names.  That made an <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffff66;">old</strong></p>
<p><strong style="color: #000; background: #66ffff;">school</strong> fan like me very happy.  A sign of things to come?  I HOPE SO!</p>
<p>A Founder’s Cup was presented to the founder of the OSDA – Ken Sikes,</p>
<p>a member here who had been hospitalized for quite a while and</p>
<p>everyone was very happy to see his return! The girls all call</p>
<p>him “Papa Bear” and he was sorely missed during all the preparations</p>
<p>of this weekend!</p>
<p>Guess who won the 50-50?!  Up until now, I really never win anything,</p>
<p>so imagine my shock when I looked at my tickets and saw the winner?</p>
<p>OOOOOOHHHHHHH YEAH!  lol</p>
<p>So, I’ll stopped on that high note.  It’ll probably be the last thing</p>
<p>I ever win, but I enjoyed it.</p>
<p>Jersey Joe</p>
<p>One thing I forgot to say:</p>
<p>Buddy Atkinson Jr. presented the OSDA championship trophy – The</p>
<p>Atkinson Cup to the winners.</p>
<p>Judy Arnold presented the female MVP trophy – the Judy Arnold Cup.</p>
<p>Arnold “Skip” Schoen presented the male MVP trophy – the Arnold</p>
<p>Schoen Cup.</p>
<p>Sorry I overlooked those facts.</p>
<p>This is what I love about the OSDA.  Besides being coached by Judy</p>
<p>Sowinski and Skip Schoen, thse girls and guys respect the past and</p>
<p>are truly doing their best to bring back the authentic sport!</p>
<p>Jersey Joe</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">October 18th   – Dishonor Roll vs. 100 Proof Honeys</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Halloween came early to Mt. Laurel in the form of “Release The Bats”, a Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> contest between teams from different leagues within the OSDA.  Penn Jersey She Devils’ Dishonor Roll hosted Man’s Ruin’s Hundred Proof Honeys.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This was only the second game skated by the Hundred Proof Honeys and they were missing two of their top jammers.  One of whom broke down on the drive from Chester, NY.  Three members of South Jersey filled in admirably.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dishonor Roll won the game by a large margin – 39 to 22.  The winners saw the return of their co-captain Miss Chievous and she didn’t fail to impress.  In addition, it must be noted that Hard Licker is becoming a stronger blocker with each game.  Excellent jamming by Classy Chassis – 7 pts., Hella Kitty 11 pts.(who injured her knee in the 2nd period), and game high scorer Freudy N. Slip -13 pts. really paced Dishonor Roll onto victory.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For the visiting 100 Proof Honeys, strong jamming came from Billy Rae Siren – One Hit Wonder, Tienty Deville, Jersey Jezebel (gotta love that name), and co-captain Devlin Blue Eyes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There was an Australian Rules (legal blocking) match race after the 2nd  period, in which Bobby Carnage squeaked out a win over Chuck Grenades.  It was a close one all the way to the end.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Next match is November 8th – the Sowinski Cup which will feature the top two teams – the Sadistic Sweethearts vs. the Fallen Angels.  You can bet the Polish Ace will be watching closely!</span></p>

<p>I’m posting a copy of a poem that Candy Jones, ex- pro <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> skater,  has written about <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">derby</strong>.  also two posts made by 2 other ex-pro</p>
<p>skaters about <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">derby</strong>.  These are taken from another web group.  Hope you enjoy them:</p>
<p>Skip</p>
<p>ROLLER <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">DERBY</strong></p>
<p>Brightly colored uniforms are blended into one continuous flash of color as</p>
<p>the pack whirls by Roaring of the crowd seems to be distant, only the</p>
<p>jostling for position is paramount</p>
<p>At the sound of the whistle, jammers fight to be free,</p>
<p>the race to the back of the pack begins</p>
<p>Off whips, staggering on one leg, ducking under the</p>
<p>pivot’s block, the jammers seem to come from nowhere</p>
<p>Jockeying for position, the frenetic dance begins as</p>
<p>skaters block and stagger against each other</p>
<p>By now, everything is a blur of skates, sounds,</p>
<p>colors, blocks, falls and rails</p>
<p>Leaning into the turn, the pack looms ahead, the lead</p>
<p>blocker standing at the ready</p>
<p>Like a clash of titans, the action explodes to include</p>
<p>body blocks, spins, jumps and sidesteps</p>
<p>On the whistle, you look around to assess the damage,</p>
<p>your heart racing as you come to a rest on the rail</p>
<p>No two jams are the same, no two games are the same,</p>
<p>and that’s the lure that keeps you in the sport</p>
<p>Candy Jones</p>
<p>TOM COELHO, skated on the Mid West Pioneers among other teams in</p>
<p>Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong>:</p>
<p>-WOW!!!!! Candy that was GREAT. As I read it I was out on the track</p>
<p>again. If I may,I’d like to share my experience as a 5′4″ 130 lbs</p>
<p>jammer also. How about some of the other skaters here.</p>
<p>Janet,Cathie,you both jammed and blocked.As a jammer I really never</p>
<p>did much pack work. What was that like during a jam. Remember Gill</p>
<p>Orasco use to talk in the pack and when he was blocking at the</p>
<p>back.He  said some pretty things while he was knocking the crap out of you or</p>
<p>should I say me.</p>
<p>Well here goes…..It’s my turn to jam,I set up at the back of the</p>
<p>pack. I usually wanted to stay in the middle of the track alittle</p>
<p>back to give me some room to accelurate. When the whistle blew acouple of</p>
<p>crosses and up to speed and then as you said Candy the “Blurring”</p>
<p>happens. It’s funny how you don’t really look at everything clearly,</p>
<p>but yet you seem to see everything all at once. For me,I didn’t look</p>
<p>so much at people’s backs as much as I watched their legs,and which</p>
<p>way their knee’s were pointing.(many years skating crowed puplic</p>
<p>sessions) If their knee’s suddenly turned up the track I know they</p>
<p>saw me coming and try and dive down quickly,if they went for it,a quick</p>
<p>step up and out(sometimes)or in some cases,a slam in the chest and</p>
<p>hope not into the rail.I wasn’t afraid to go into the pack,cause my</p>
<p>team mate jammer,if he went high would open a lane in the middle.</p>
<p>He’d take the hit and that would leave an opening in front of the person</p>
<p>blocking him on the high side.NOW…understand,as Candy put so well</p>
<p>this is all happening in a fame of just afew seconds. The jam was</p>
<p>only 60sec.  so we didn’t have alot of time to fool around playing “dodge</p>
<p>block” in the pack. For me getting out of the pack was like being</p>
<p>shot out of cannon. Suddenly OPEN TRACK ahead. Down into the turn and</p>
<p>accelurate out.It was like flying.I loved the click,click of my</p>
<p>wheels on the track.Then a jersey next to you and a body coming at you then</p>
<p>slam,a shoulder,a hip,an elbow and the chase was on. God I loved</p>
<p>that…Sorry of this so long,but so many pictures are flashing in my</p>
<p>mind right now…..And then…#40 appears looking over his right</p>
<p>shoulder and I cut the speed down and think OH S…!! Here “IT”</p>
<p>comes. I could go on like this for along time.. Like who I hated to be</p>
<p>blocked by, or getting “nailed” on my way out,The “side step” that</p>
<p>almost got me killed. I’ll stop now.</p>
<p>OK..come on skaters, put youselves back on the track..I really want</p>
<p>to  feel you skating again..This makes me feel so alive. ROLLER</p>
<p><strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">DERBY</strong>….I  skated really ROLLER <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">DERBY</strong>..it wasn’t just a dream,it was a dream</p>
<p>come true…TC</p>
<p>Janet Earp, ex <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> skater.  Pivot/Jammer on nurmerous <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> teams</p>
<p>Boy we are back on the track huh Tom? I also can hear the noise the</p>
<p>wheels made. The roar of the crowd, the popcorn and hot dogs whiffing</p>
<p>into the arena. I was always nervous until the whistle blew and then</p>
<p>it all goes away. The game has started and I am at the front of the</p>
<p>pack trying to get my jammer out. Exchanging blocks with the other</p>
<p>blockers and pivot. I can feel my jammer right behind me or perhaps</p>
<p>they tapped my back to let me know they are right there following me</p>
<p>out of the pack. I break clear and reach back to give a whip and send</p>
<p>my jammer flying out of the pack. At the same time I try to stop the</p>
<p>opposite jammers if I can while trading blocks with the opposite</p>
<p>blockers and pivot. Blocking continues back and forth as the jammer</p>
<p>or jammers make their way to the back of the pack. If my jammer has</p>
<p>the lead or is the only one out there, then I try to slow the pack</p>
<p>down. If the other jammer has the lead or is alone, I try to pull the</p>
<p>pack so they have to skate faster and longer to get to the back; that</p>
<p>way maybe they will be a little bit fatigued. If we are out numbered</p>
<p>on the jam and behind in points, this is where you might see a pull-</p>
<p>away. Next the jammer comes into the back of the pack to score and</p>
<p>elbows are flying everywhere. Hip blocks, leg blocks and whatever</p>
<p>else you needed to do so your jammer scores. The pivot is at the back</p>
<p>and also you as a blocker. You have the whole pack minus the jammers</p>
<p>in front of you and you have to try not to skate up their backside at</p>
<p>the same time you are blocking the jammer. So your head is on a</p>
<p>swivel looking ahead and back, ahead and back. I also watched the</p>
<p>jammers feet to try to see if they were going to come in high or low.</p>
<p>Hopefully you have assisted your jammer and they score. The whistle</p>
<p>blows and we do it all over again but never the same so it is always</p>
<p>different and exciting. ROLLER <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">DERBY</strong>. WE LOVED IT, WE LIVED IT. We</p>
<p>cherish the memories and thank the fans for remembering us especially</p>
<p>after all these years. I like all the other skaters would not trade</p>
<p>the experience for the world. I have lifetime friends that I consider</p>
<p>family and love each and everyone of them. Thanks for the memories</p>
<p>Candy and Tom. Janet</p>

<p>WHAT IS THE ROLLER <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">DERBY</strong> ALL ABOUT</p>
<p>by Justin Cooper, Long Island Star Journal</p>
<p>1952</p>
<p>Leo Seltzer’s spanking new Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> baby of 17 years ago is a big</p>
<p>boy now. If enough months roll around the little gentleman, who got</p>
<p>his start on a restaurant napkin in Chicago, may have his own family</p>
<p>of minor leagues throughout the country.</p>
<p>Yes, with a new year here, the question is; What’s in store for the</p>
<p><strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> in 1952? This is also a good time to glance back over the past</p>
<p>365 days for they have been eventful.</p>
<p>The 1951 year produced many thrills and surprises so far be it from</p>
<p>us to pick the outstanding event of the last 12 months. Probably the</p>
<p>most notable achievement of Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">derby</strong> was its return to</p>
<p>television over WCBS-TV in the New York area. It was video that</p>
<p>helped give the sport prominence.</p>
<p>With the wheeling warriors back on the television screen, the initial</p>
<p>response was most encouraging. Presently the <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">derby</strong> is being shown on</p>
<p>film via the sight medium in many parts of the United States,</p>
<p>including Cleveland, Philadelphia, Detroit, Boston and Los Angeles, a</p>
<p>true cross section.</p>
<p>From an individual angle, the most heart- warming event of 1951 was</p>
<p>enacted with just five days left in the <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffff66;">old</strong> year. The scene was</p>
<p>Cleveland’s Public Auditorium and the start of a series between the</p>
<p>Jersey Jolters and the Westerners. The night was Dec. 27.</p>
<p>For many newcomers to <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">derby</strong> doings, it was just the start of another</p>
<p>game. For veteran followers it was a stirring moment. It was game</p>
<p>time and as the announcer gave the line ups over the PA System the</p>
<p>name Ken Monte echoed through the area the first time in nearly a</p>
<p>year.</p>
<p>Sure enough, the man whom doctors told 11 months ago he would never</p>
<p>be able to skate again, was back on the track . Monte almost killed</p>
<p>in an automobile crash in which he received such severe injuries that</p>
<p>his left leg was in a cast for six months, had come back for his most</p>
<p>glorious moment of triumph.</p>
<p>It was a thrilling sight for Midge (Toughie) Brasuhn too. Toughie has</p>
<p>received about every honor a professional athlete can garner, but her</p>
<p>husband’s return brought tears to the lady whom pugnacious ness, all</p>
<p>round ability and crowd appeal made her one of the top 10 women</p>
<p>athletes in the country during 1950.</p>
<p>As the Cleveland series opened, the other half of the circuit was</p>
<p>bowing in at New York City’s 14th Street Armory. There was nostalgia</p>
<p>there too, as Charlie (Specs) Saunders went back into skating action</p>
<p>for the first time in four months.</p>
<p>With the past now part of the wonderful history of Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong>, it</p>
<p>is the future which offers the challenge. The fate of Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong>,</p>
<p>in the last analysis rests with you- its loyal fans.</p>
<p>Many things are planned for the months and even years to come. Leo</p>
<p>Seltzer hopes the day is not far off when the league has 12 teams in</p>
<p>major cities from coast to coast in addition to junior loops in the</p>
<p>hinterlands.</p>
<p>The recent Korean crisis, which has sent over 30 skaters into the</p>
<p>armed forces, will make the task of building <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">derby</strong> teams across the</p>
<p>nation that much more difficult. However, the sport has over come</p>
<p>obstacles in the past and this will just be another hurdle before the</p>
<p>project is accomplished.</p>
<p>This year is to be devoted to developing new skaters and organizing</p>
<p>junior competition in various skating rinks as the <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">derby</strong>’s</p>
<p>contribution to building the character of the nations youngest</p>
<p>generation.</p>
<p>Well, it’s nearly starting time, so sit back, relax if you can and</p>
<p>watch em roll!</p>

<p>professionalism and show biz charm to National Skating <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong></p>
<p>broadcasts.  One of the best behind the microphone and in front of the</p>
<p>camera.</p>
<p><strong>Executive Wing – WILLIAM GRIFFITH, Sr. </strong></p>
<p>Advertising executive who brought business savvy to Southern</p>
<p>California banked track skating experiment during the early 60s making</p>
<p>the Los Angeles T-Birds the darlings of the new National Skating</p>
<p><strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong>.  Created a glossy version of the banked track game that was</p>
<p>more theatrical than the original <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> by emphasizing individual</p>
<p>stars rather than teams.  Instrumental in establishing permanent bases</p>
<p>for the sport in Australia, Japan and Canada.  Contribution to the</p>
<p>game should not be underestimated.</p>

<p>that matchrace.)</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I thought you might like to see a 5 lap legal blocking matchrace between Gerry Murray and “Little Iodine” Loretta Behrens.  Pass it around.</span></p>

<p>GIL OROZCO is truly one of Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong>’s unsung heros.</p>
<p>Early in his career, Orozco was one of the best jammers out there, speedy and agile, always</p>
<p>on the move, making it look rather easy.  But when he got on Charlie O’Connell’s Bay</p>
<p>Bombers in the early 60s, his role in the sport changed and he embraced this assignment</p>
<p>with enthusiasm and excitement.  Gilbert was the guy working behind the scenes, making</p>
<p>sure all was ready for the game before fans arrived, then doing his job efficiently and quietly</p>
<p>in the pack, controlling the pace, making opponents work hard to keep stride with his lead,</p>
<p>and he made it all look pretty effortless.  His contribution to the sport, to making the</p>
<p>experience winning for fans and skaters, is one that’s appreciated and admired throughout</p>
<p>the skating world particularly by Mr. Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong>, Charlie O’, himself.</p>
<p>HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Gil Orozco and THANKS for giving so much to Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong>!  May the</p>
<p>coming year be filled with much love and happiness.</p>

<p class="blogSubject">More Fun than Disneyland!</p>
<p>Current mood: <img src="http://x.myspace.com/images/blog/moods/iBrads/artistic.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" /> animated</p>
<p>Finally have a few minutes to post and say how much fun I had at</p>
<p>the “Has-Beens” reunion this past week in Laughlin! I arrived Sunday grabbed a rental car and reported to Loretta and Phil’s house for lunch and shuttle duty.</p>
<p>Was so happy to meet everyone there, and I started collecting hugs from</p>
<p>everyone who was game for one.</p>
<p>Loretta and Phil had quite the spread, platters of yummies and</p>
<p>sodas &amp; drinks for all. It was so nice after traveling to be able to</p>
<p>visit, munch a little and catch a breather before everyone headed south to Laughlin.</p>
<p>It was my sincere pleasure to share the ride to Laughlin with</p>
<p>Gloria and Billy Gardner. I don’t think Gloria and I let Billy get more</p>
<p>than a couple of words in edge-wise during the trip. The 90 minutes flew</p>
<p>by as Gloria shared so many fun stories and had a lot of great</p>
<p>ideas and tidbits that will help me when I get my track set up.</p>
<p>From the moment I hit the hotel I was determined to get every bit</p>
<p>of fun I could squeeze out of the trip. If I missed speaking to</p>
<p>anyone, I can’t think of who it was! Loretta made sure I got to cross paths</p>
<p>with everyone and I can’t thank the skaters who were kind enough to</p>
<p>agree to sign my helmet for the OSDA.</p>
<p>Had a blast with Charlie Goodwin, Skip, Janet and Georgia when we</p>
<p>snuck back to Vegas <span id="lw_1210643856_0" class="yshortcuts">on Monday</span> to skate on Lali’s track. Man, it was</p>
<p>hot but couldn’t pass it up …yes, I fell a couple of times but Skip</p>
<p>(friend that he is) fell to make me feel better and even got a</p>
<p>little souvenir…his first rink rash in 25 (?) years!</p>
<p>Lali O and her husband Pat were kind enough to bring their pro</p>
<p>Karoke set-up and host a show for us. I sang La Bamba and Harper Valley</p>
<p>PTA for everyone at Karaoke night and topped the night singing The Rose</p>
<p>with none other than Mz. Georgia Hase! I think everyone had</p>
<p>waaaayyyy too much fun with the cucumbers…Dan Ferrari was a great sport and joined in (my team lost! Darn!) I’m still doctoring my nose from</p>
<p>getting stabbed with a toothpick passing the Lifesaver (haha) and I</p>
<p>ended up with coffee creamer in my bag when what I really wanted</p>
<p>was DJ’s green bath mitt! I can’t wait to see that picture!</p>
<p>I really clicked with my Paisanos Joe Canevari and Gootch Gautieri,</p>
<p>(they give great hugs!) and I’ll always remember Loretta’s dance</p>
<p>with <span id="lw_1210643856_1" class="yshortcuts">Jackie Gleason</span>…I couldn’t resist dancing with him too, but I wasn’t</p>
<p>quite as brazen as Little Iodine! All the camera’s came out as Billy Bogash Watusied with Lali O’s daughter…and Marc Stern had everyone</p>
<p>on the floor for the Electric Slide FOUR times…(you’re a great</p>
<p>teacher, Marc) Gloria swears she’s gonna have it down by next reunion! (No,</p>
<p>really, Gloria SWEARS! hahahahaha)</p>
<p>The Banquet was WONDERFUL! My favorite has always been Turkey, and</p>
<p>they also had a delicious Pork Loin- with all the fixin’s…the food</p>
<p>was absolutely delicious! Everyone enjoyed their dinner and then we</p>
<p>had the distinct pleasure of being present as Gary presented Jean</p>
<p>Porter her Hall Of Fame plaque. There were a few tears as Dee</p>
<p>Morrissey accepted Bill’s Hall of Fame plaque. There were a lot of</p>
<p>tears as Bonnie Nelson presented a most heartfelt tribute to her</p>
<p>Captain and Mentor, Mary Youpell.</p>
<p>During my trip I FINALLY got to meet <span id="lw_1210643856_2" class="yshortcuts">John Hall</span> and his lovely wife</p>
<p>Debbie, Pastor Kirk, Loretta &amp; Phil, Bonnie and so many other <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffff66;">old</strong></p>
<p>friends from online for the first time. To all the wonderful</p>
<p>skaters</p>
<p>and family who came to see their friends at this reunion and were</p>
<p>kind enough to extend their welcome to me; many thanks. It was</p>
<p>heartwarming and I truly feel blessed to have had the chance to get</p>
<p>to know you.</p>
<p>I have to say how sorry I was that Nellie Wilson, who put so much</p>
<p>time and effort into this event, spent the entire reunion extremely</p>
<p>ill and was even taken to the hospital. I hope she is feeling</p>
<p>better.</p>
<p>And I can’t say enough for her “assistants” who jumped right in and</p>
<p>ran the event for her and all of us. They manned the raffle table,</p>
<p>did all the check in, made sure everyone knew what was going on and</p>
<p>where to be when, had all the answers and kept everything running.</p>
<p>Dyno and the other ladies who sat at those tables all that time to</p>
<p>make this go, you have my undying gratitude!</p>
<p>Cookie, Julie, Whirly, Sue…y’all just plain crack me up!</p>
<p>So many other memories, but hopefully this is enough to share what</p>
<p>an unbelievable time it was!</p>
<p>Hope to see pictures soon…I was too busy having fun to even pull</p>
<p>out my camera!</p>

<p>What a day at the ‘Has Beens’ reunion.  Our dear fearless leader, Nellie Montague Wilson,</p>
<p>was taken back to the hospital.  She’s been fighting an infection and hasn’t been feeling</p>
<p>well and yes, the hospital is the best place for Nell, but we’ll miss her smiling face.</p>
<p>Saw lots of friends this morning at breakfast.  Met KEN HANSEN, which was great.  Saw</p>
<p>HAL JANOWITZ, NORMA ROSSNER, BARBARA O’LEARY, SUE FREGULIA, ‘Cookie’ KADYRA, 50s</p>
<p>skater (and sweetheart) BOBBIE BURNS, JEAN PORTER, BERT WALL, BOBBIE MATEER, DEE</p>
<p>MORRISSEY, DELORES DOSS plus so many others.  Sat between JUDY ARNOLD &amp; JULIE</p>
<p>PATRICK and had a little food following by raffle drawings.</p>
<p>Spent part of the afternoon by the pool with JUDY ARNOLD, GAIL FUND, JOE CANEVARI,</p>
<p>NORMA ROSSNER, ARNOLD ‘Skip’ SCHOEN and ROSE COLUMBO, then headed to the outlet</p>
<p>stores for a little shopping.  On the way out of the hotel, ran into SHERRI ERICH, RUBERTA</p>
<p>MITCHELL, DARLENE ANDERSON &amp; JAN VALLOW who were just arriving.  Saw JOHN HALL in</p>
<p>the casino.  JUDY SOWINSKI &amp; SHEILA McKENNA &amp; DEE WILSON who spent part of the day</p>
<p>on the river in a boat.</p>
<p>After Marc Stern and I had dinner with Judy Arnold, tonight was ‘Karioke Night’ in the</p>
<p>‘Hospitality Room’ where lots of people got up and sang.  MAUREEN O’BRIEN arrived.</p>
<p>FRANK MACEDO was there.  LANA KASANOVICH and GENIE PACE.  ‘Big Sister’ BARBARA</p>
<p>BAKER finally got to Laughlin and we spent a long time catching up.  Later saw ANNIS ‘Big</p>
<p>Red’ JENSEN with MARY YOUPELLE.  DOLLY HANSEN was there, too.  Plus <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong>’s rarest</p>
<p>‘Has Been,’ BILLY BOGASH, who in his 90s, was still cutting up a rug on the dance floor</p>
<p>with wife, GEORGIA.  LARRY LEE was spotted and I had the distinct privilege of meeting</p>
<p>Miss GEORGIA HASE, who’s an absolute delight!</p>
<p>I also got to meet our own BONNIE NELSON &amp; CANDY JONES &amp; NONNIE, the Australian</p>
<p>sweetie, plus NANCY SHEEHAN!  And yes, BARBARA BAKER, ‘Cookie’ KADYRA, SUE</p>
<p>FREGULIA, SKIP SCHOEN, MARC STERN and me closed the joint where we heard one</p>
<p>phenomenal memory after another.  It’s been like a master class in <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> history all night.</p>
<p>And yes, it’s late and I’ve probably forgotten a few things and names and people…. but</p>
<p>just want to share a taste of this wonderful reunion with everyone.</p>
<p>Gary P.</p>

<p>April 14, 2001</p>
<p>By Gary Powers</p>
<p>Seven years ago today legendary skater <strong>RONNIE ROBINSON</strong> left us.</p>
<p>Sugar Ray’s son was trained by <strong>GERRY MURRAY</strong>, learned his craft from the best of them, impressing everyone with his jamming skills, then startled the banked track kingdom by leading the <strong>NEW ENGLAND BRAVES </strong>to the ‘68 pennant and ‘69 world title. Ronnie was one of those skaters who could do it all.  If Robinson was in the game, you knew it would be good.  He could do it all with style and grace and humility.  He put the sport and fans before his own personal glory, the true mark of a Hall-of-Famer.</p>
<p>Although I will always admire Ronnie for his greatness on the banked track, I also learned something valuable from him.  After I met him in 2000 at a party for <strong>Calvello’s DEMON OF THE <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">DERBY</strong></strong>, I was too intimidated to return his calls or pick up the phone and see how he was doing?  I mean, he was<strong> RONNIE ROBINSON</strong>!!!</p>
<p>When he left us too quickly and I went to his funeral in the Bronx, I realized it would have taken sooooo little effort to pick up the  phone or drive to the Bronx and take him to dinner.  Very little effort on my part and it would have meant a lot to him!  It would have added to the quality of his life and what was stopping me???  My own silly fear?  I decided then and there to not do that again.  Now was the time.  No more excuses.  No more being afraid.  Reaching out, making the connection, giving back.  About acknowledging skaters and celebrating the impact they made upon fans.  That’s been the framework of all we’ve tried to accomplish over the past eight years with  Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> Foundation.</p>
<p>Ronnie Robinson is still loved and missed by everyone who came into his orbit.  He will always be one of the great stars of the game. Thanks for the memories, sweet prince of the banked track.</p>
<p>Gary P.</p>

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">From RollerDerbyForum YahooGroup</p>
<p>The Day the Skating Almost Stopped</p>
<p>by John Seylaz</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">It was approximately 11:00 in St. Louis on that March 24, 1937 morning.  A group of people that skated for the infant of sports, Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong>,  climbed into the bus that was to take the group to Cincinnati for a  two-week stop. The sport had been invented only a year and a half earlier  by Leo Seltzer in Chicago. Its popularity had grown to make it a traveling  show. On this morning, the fourteen skaters and nine other <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> personnel  piled into the two year <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffff66;">old</strong> Greyhound bus.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">There were plenty of stories on that bus. We can only imagine what was  happening. Maybe Erma Caldwell, the 34 year-<strong style="color: #000; background: #ffff66;">old</strong> mother from Chicago  was playing a game with her 4 year-<strong style="color: #000; background: #ffff66;">old</strong> daughter Carol Ann. Maybe the  bus driver, Dick Thomas, only 24, was talking to 19 year-<strong style="color: #000; background: #ffff66;">old</strong> skater  and wife of two weeks, Emily Thomas who was seated right behind him.  Maybe Frank Vining and John Britton, both 26, were talking about the  concession sales they made in St. Louis and were expecting in Cincinnati.  Don Flannery, the 18 year-<strong style="color: #000; background: #ffff66;">old</strong> skater, may have been discussing the future  with his fiancée, skater Ruth Hill. She was 19. Joe Kleats, referred  to as the “veteran,” only because he was 36 years-<strong style="color: #000; background: #ffff66;">old</strong> may  have been showing the ropes to Johnny “Schoolboy” Creekmore,  the youngest skater listed at 17 but probably was more like 15 or 16.  Maybe at 12:49 that morning little Carol Ann spoke with the enthusiasm  of a little child pointing out the window at the upcoming bridge. We  will never know</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">exactly what was happening.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">We do know that 70 miles east of St. Louis, one and one-quarter miles  outside of Salem, Illinois on Highway 50, that bus headed toward Cincinnati  suffered a terrible disaster. Approximately 75 feet before reaching  the bridge, the bus, which was only going about 40 miles an hour, endured  a front right tire blowout. As Dick Thomas wrestled with the steering  wheel to try and maintain control, the bus flipped onto its side and  skidded along the bridge, eventually hitting a concrete abutment and  bursting into flames. It was recalled that the gas tanks were severed  and gas was flying everywhere. Dick Thomas tried to make his way out  through the broken windshield but could not find his way. Eventually,  he climbed out of the side window. He then pulled wife Ruth out who  had been just behind him. At the hospital he was quoted, “I pulled  another girl out, and then the flames hit me and blinded me. My wife  helped me walk down the road. People outside the bus were screaming  but it didn’t seem that any of those in the bus were screaming.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Don Flannery was also a survivor who could speak. “She (Ruth) called  me twice. I was feeling around for her. Didn’t see her. Found her and  tried to pull her out through the window. She was pinned under baggage  and seats. It was so hot I had to crawl out. I walked up the road. Help  came and took me here. I did everything I could,” he ended with  a sob. “I tried to save Ruth.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Eighteen people died immediately in the crash. Five were brought to  hospitals. Later that night, Emily Thomas, the wife of the bus driver  passed away of severe burns. It has been quoted as being said that Ted  Mullen, the 25 year-<strong style="color: #000; background: #ffff66;">old</strong> announcer, also severely burned, whispered to  doctors, “Do you think I’ll ever be able to skate?” When the  doctor assured him he would, he responded, “Funny. I was never  able to skate before.” Ted also died that evening. One month later,  John “Schoolboy” Creekmore passed. The doctors valiantly tried  with transfusions and the like but Creekmore was too badly injured.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Twenty-three people boarded that bus on the fateful morning of March  24, 1937. Only Don Flannery, who later rejoined the <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong> and Dick Thomas,  the bus driver, survived. It almost ended the “babe of sport”  only a year and a half into its existence, but popularity demanded it  continue and the skaters pressed on into what was a nice run.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">In memory of the victims, the number “1″ that was worn by  Joe Kleats was retired and never worn again in Leo or, later, Jerry  Seltzer’s Roller <strong style="color: #000; background: #ffcc99;">Derby</strong>. I wrote that story so that these pioneers of  the sport could be remembered and honored.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">The full list of those that perished:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Name – Position – Age</p>

<p>Bio:</p>
<p>Formed in March 2007, the Hooligans team grew from the referees of<br />
the women’s team- The Penn Jersey She Devils.   The Hooligans have been<br />
members of the OSDA since it’s inception as part of the co-ed flat track<br />
league, the Penn Jersey She Devils.  We have a fully co-ed training<br />
program led by Roller Derby Hall of Famer Judy Sowinski and Warriors<br />
great Arnold Skip Schoen.  We are very involved in the OSDA and are<br />
working hard to promote mens, women’s and co-ed roller derby.</p>

<p><img src="hooligans2008_files/2213855685_53768b3537.htm" alt="" /></p>
<p>The Penn Jersey She Devils are the first league to bring roller derby<br />
back to the Philadelphia region in almost 30 years. Founded in 2005 by<br />
Ken Sikes and Greg Spencer, the She Devils started out with just a<br />
handful of girls and a vision of restoring one of America’s most popular<br />
sports to some of its former glory.</p>
<p>Today, PJSD is a skater-owned and operated co-ed league more than<br />
fifty skaters strong and growing. Members hail from Philadelphia, PA all<br />
the way up to Woodbridge, NJ and come from all walks of life. There are<br />
singles, couples, tattoo artists, nurses, chefs, moms, ex-athletes, and<br />
novices throwing bruise-inducing blocks at every practice.</p>
<p>To help us skaters get the most out of every stride are two<br />
ex-professional skaters, Judy “The Polish Ace” Sowinski and Arnold<br />
“Skip” Schoen.  We also have our champion speed skating advisor, known<br />
as “Big John” on the rink. Judy skated for the LA T-Birds, the Eastern<br />
Warriors, and NY Bombers between the late 50’s and the early 80’s. She<br />
was Rookie of the Year in 1972 and was inducted into the Roller Derby<br />
Hall of Fame in 2004. She kicks our ass at every practice, demands 110<br />
percent, and pushes each and every one of us to be the toughest skaters<br />
we can out on the rink. Skip also skated with the Eastern Warriors in<br />
the 1970’s and can still give our best jammers a run for their money.<br />
Every practice he’s skating right along side us, teaching us the proper<br />
ways to block, whip, turn, and fall… so we’re still in one piece after a<br />
hard game!</p>
<p>Currently, PJSD skates flat track derby, as do most of the hundred<br />
plus leagues around the world. However, one of PJSD’s main goals is to<br />
have its own venue and a banked track. In the interest of keeping<br />
today’s version of derby as close to banked-track rules as possible, the<br />
She Devils helped found the Old School Derby Association in 2007.<br />
OSDA’s rules are designed specifically to keep derby real, rough, and<br />
unpredictable &#8211; as it should be! Check out the OSDA’s website to learn<br />
more about how we play the game and find other member leagues in your<br />
area. Better yet, come to one of our games and see the excitement for<br />
yourself. Take a look at our events and buy tickets in advance to avoid<br />
missing out. We can’t wait to see you trackside!</p>

<p>Dearest Penn Jersey Roller She-Devils Roller Derby fans,</p>
<p>Hello and how are you? Tuffy Muffy (#5), here, your faithful<br />
correspondent from that rough and tumble old-school league, the Penn<br />
Jersey She-Devils! Iâ€™m that friendly buzz in your ear, reminding you<br />
what events you want to be the first to know about; so you can brag<br />
about being on the inside of the roller derby world to your friends, of<br />
course!</p>
<p>First of all, letâ€™s recap Marchâ€™s intense season opener, the<br />
Shamrock Shakedown between the Sadistic Sweethearts and the Dishonor<br />
Roll. Â The Sweethearts came out triumphant 49-23 over the Dishonor<br />
Roll, but trust me, it was no easy road to victory. Â Both teams<br />
had a number of rookies skating in their first league match-up, myself<br />
included. Â I thought of many of us as feral beasts trying to claw<br />
through the pack in any way possible, leading to multiple visits to the<br />
penalty box and 2 girl-fights that stopped play entirely! Â The<br />
refs had their work cut out for them, but rest assured, they only<br />
awarded legitimately earned points! Â I definitely saw members from<br />
the Fallen Angels watching closely and taking notes for Aprilâ€™s game.<br />
Â Check our website for stats and pictures from the Shakedown.<br />
Â <a><br />
href=&#8221;http://web.archive.org/web/20080625021650/http://www.shedevilsrollerderby.com/Media.html&#8221;<br />
target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;&gt;www.shedevilsrollerderby.com/Media.html</a></p>
<p>If you didnâ€™t attend the Shakedown, PJSDâ€™s Spring BREAK â€™08<br />
between the Dishonor Roll and the Fallen Angels, is a must-see!<br />
Â The Dishonor Roll is sure to be fierce as they battle back after<br />
Marchâ€™s game and they may even change up their strategy to throw the<br />
Angels a curveball. Â The other thing to look for at our April game<br />
is the gang from Ride For Dime Philly. Â Ride For Dime (RFD) is an<br />
annual charity ride and concert in memory of musician Darrell<br />
â€œDimebagâ€ Abbott, along with Jeff Thompson, Nathan Bray, and Erin<br />
Halk. Â <a><br />
href=&#8221;http://web.archive.org/web/20080625021650/http://www.ridefordime.com/&#8221;<br />
target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;&gt;www.ridefordime.com</a> Â The proceeds from Spring<br />
BREAKâ€™s 50/50 will go to RFD and they will be in attendance to talk<br />
about their big concert coming up to benefit Little Kids Rock. Â <a></a></p>
<p><a>href=&#8221;http://web.archive.org/web/20080625021650/http://www.littlekidsrock.org/&#8221;<br />
target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;&gt;www.littlekidsrock.org</a> Â All this and more<br />
will go down on Saturday, April 26th at the International Sports,<br />
Skating, and Fun Centre in Mount Laurel, NJ. Â Doors at 7:30pm, get<br />

<p>For those that haven’t heard, TeenWolf, is scheduled for surgery for<br />
multiple leg and ankle fractures from the New York Shock Exchange bout<br />
in Chicago last weekend.</p>
<p>Not only does he have to lay off the skates for a bit, but he has<br />
some monster hospital bills to pay for, and no insurance to pay for<br />
them.</p>
<p>Anything helps.<br />

<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-weight: 700; font-size: 10pt;">It is in the spirit in which Dime lived his life<br />
that “Ride For Dime” (RFD) was organized. Not only to keep the legendary<br />
guitarists memory alive and to celebrate his life, but to continue to<br />
spread his caring and kindness to others, for him, since he is no longer<br />
with us.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-weight: 700;">Ride for Dime (RFD) Philly is the first official â€œChapterâ€<br />

conducted in memory of Darrell Abbott, Jeff Thompson, Nathan Bray, &amp;<br />
Erin Halk, who were all tragically taken from us on December 8, 2004 in<br />
Columbus, Ohio, during a Damageplan show.<br />
All money raised will go towards music education, in the name of those<br />
slain.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="font-style: italic;">THERE WILL BE NO â€œRIDEâ€ IN PHILLY. THIS IS A<br />

<p><span style="font-size: x-small;"> This happened at<br />
the Throwdown scrimmages<br />
Body: One of our Navy City Roller Girls sustained a very serious injury<br />
doing what she loved most…ROLLERDERBY. She broke her right ankle in 3<br />
places, she now has 11 screws and 2 plates.<br />
Due to excessive swelling she must wait for a hard cast, after the hard<br />
cast comes 6-8 weeks with no weight bearing on her leg.<br />
The doctors have told her that she is in amazing health for a woman of<br />
her age and should recover completely.<br />
However, as the owner of a farm and 6 horses we fear she will suffer<br />
finacially being out of work for such a long period of time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">As her teammates we are dedicating our time and energy<br />
to her immediate needs such as helping with meals, chores (scooping<br />
horse poooo, ewwww…wanna help?) errands and anything we can to help.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">We as a league our asking that you help us make “Scag<br />
Hag’s” recovery as comfortable as possible physically, mentally and<br />
financially.<br />
We are in the process of setting up a PayPal account to benefit Scags<br />
recovery.<br />
If you have questions on how you can help or would simply like to send<br />
you get well prayers to her.<br />
please contact us at navycityrollergirls@gmail.com<br />
Please forward and repost this message to everyone you can think of.<br />
Thank You for taking the time to open and read this post!</span></p>

<div class="storycontent">
<p>Dearest Penn Jersey She-Devils Roller Derby fans,</p>
<p>Thank you for your interest in our roller derby league! Â As you<br />
probably know, we are the first league to bring roller derby back to<br />
the Philadelphia area in almost 30 years and we skate by old-school<br />
rulesâ€¦the way it should be! Â We draw our inspiration from roller<br />
derbyâ€™s history and our coaches, Judy â€œthe Polish Aceâ€ Sowinski<br />
and Arnold â€œSkipâ€ Schoen, both of whom skated professional roller<br />
derby with the Philadelphia Warriors. Â Some of you may be newer<br />
fans who saw us defeat Canada and some of you may be older fans who<br />
havenâ€™t heard from us in a while; either way, from now on youâ€™ll be<br />
getting updates on our whereabouts so you can join in on the fun!</p>
<p>My name is Tuffy Muffy (#5) and Iâ€™ll be your faithful<br />
correspondent, updating you on all our up-coming games and events<br />
monthly. Â Our 2008 season is starting to pick up speed as new<br />
recruits have been placed on each of our 3 interleague womenâ€™s teams:<br />
the Fallen Angels, the Sadistic Sweethearts, and the Dishonor Roll.<br />
Â Keep your eyes on our hot new website that is in the process of<br />
being launched for updated rosters. Â There you can also find<br />
important information like what drink to buy your favorite player at the<br />
after-party! Â <a><br />
href=&#8221;http://web.archive.org/web/20080625021650/http://www.shedevilsrollerderby.com/&#8221;<br />
target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;&gt;www.shedevilsrollerderby.com</a></p>
<p>March is keeping us busy with events that you do NOT want to miss!<br />
Â Our first big fundraiser of the year is on Friday, March 7th at<br />
Sisters Nightclub where the She-Devils proudly present a hot and sexy<br />
Drag King Review! Â All are welcome to attend and delight in<br />
performances by the Philly Kings, the NY Kings, and even amateur Kings<br />
from the She-Devils! Â After being enticed by the charms of our<br />
Kings, your amorousness can seek a little release at our ALWAYS popular<br />
kissing booth. Â Not to worry if you’re shy, there will be plenty<br />
of social lubricant to ease things along! Â Namely, drink specials<br />
from 9-11pm and jello shots for as long as supplies last! Â And<br />
lastly, a hint for you ladies and gents on how to use the She-Devils’<br />
kissing booth in your favor…if you see a She-Devil you’d like to smooch,<br />
grab her [respectfully...you don't wanna get socked...] off the<br />
dancefloor and pull her behind the booth, fork over your dollar, and<br />
pucker up…rinse…repeat. Â Sisters Nightclub is located at 1320<br />
Chancelor Street in Philly. Â <a><br />
href=&#8221;http://web.archive.org/web/20080625021650/http://www.sistersnightclub.com/&#8221;<br />
target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;&gt;www.sistersnightclub.com</a></p>
<p>If you just canâ€™t get enough of us on Friday night, check us out<br />
Sunday morning. Â Weâ€™ll be strutting our stuff (on wheels, of<br />
course) at the Philly St. Patrickâ€™s Day Parade on March 9th.<br />
Â Weâ€™ll be right there with all the floats, Irish dancers, and<br />
guys that poured a little too much Baileyâ€™s in their morning coffee,<br />
so look out for us!</p>
<p>From March 14th -16th, the She-Devils will be in attendance at the<br />
Monster Mania Convention in Mount Laurel, NJ. Â Not only can you<br />
watch screenings of your favorite horror flicks and meet your favorite<br />
horror stars, but you can also meet the She-Devils! Â If you ask<br />
nicely, weâ€™ll use our derby skills to protect you from the zombies and<br />
Gremlins. Â I will be shopping my latest script around: Alien vs<br />
Derby Girl.</p>
<p>Finally, March culminates in our season opener: Sadistic Sweethearts<br />
vs Dishonor Roll on Saturday, March 22nd at the International Sports and<br />
Fun Center in Mount Laurel, NJ! Â This is one game you wanna see<br />
for yourself. Â I have it on good grounds that the Dishonor Roll<br />
captains, Classy Chassis and Miss Chievious, have it personally out for<br />
the Sadistic Sweetheart captains, Lucky Luciano and Cherry Bomber.<br />
Â You should of have seen the way they double teamed Cherry at our<br />
Fort Dix game in February! Â I had to look away! Â These are<br />
two evenly matched teams with the Dishonor Roll being our newest<br />
established team despite having a number of veteran players and the<br />
Sweethearts with 4 of our newest and most-promising skaters! Â This<br />
game is sure to be fiery; fortunately, the drinks at the after-party<br />
will be ice-cold! Â For tickets, check out our website <a><br />
href=&#8221;http://web.archive.org/web/20080625021650/http://www.shedevilsrollerderby.com/&#8221;<br />
target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;&gt;www.shedevilsrollerderby.com</a> or attend any of our<br />
March events! Â We canâ€™t wait to see you there!</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Tuffy Muffy #5</p>
<p>P.S. Â If youâ€™d like to request a She-Devils presence at your<br />
event, simply contact us with information about your event, the date,<br />
and the time. Â Weâ€™d be happy to show up and work the crowd at<br />
your happy hour, dance party, gig, business luncheon, inaugural address,<br />
etc. Â <a href="mailto:events@shedevilsrollerderby.com">events@shedevilsrollerderby.com</a></p>

Coordinator.  I have been a member of the Hooligans since team&#8217;s<br />
inception in 2007.  I am an Industrial/80s/Gothic DJay.  I play<br />
various instruments in several industrial bands.  My skater name is an<br />
industrial song title.  I changed my skater name from Deutschmaschine<br />
to D-Maschine to Maschine, because of announcer difficulties with the<br />
German language.  I share the #15 with my wife, Hard Licker.  I want<br />
to skate REAL old school banked track co-ed alternating period roller<br />

<p>Why did you join derby:___The men&#8217;s team formed after watching my wife<br />
skate for a year, it looked like fun and even though I never roller<br />
skated before I started training with the team in Bensalem, PA.  At<br />
the time we were driving down from Woodbridge, NJ.  Seeing real pros<br />
like Skip and Judy training the skaters made PJSD the only choice and<br />
I am glad we chose PJSD.</p>
<p>Favorite Quote:_________All we need to do is set the outside of the<br />
track on fire.</p>
