Monday  News      page  2  of  2    Program  cont.  refereeing  JV’s  basketball    games  Bill  Lavel*  and  Bernie  Williams*  took  him  under  their  wings  to  help  get  him  started  when  the  OCC  went  to  three  (3)  referees  for  the  games.    After  a  short  period  of  time  the  OCC  went  back  to  two  (2)  referees.  He  and  Tommy  Venditelli  paired  up  to  do  the  games.    This  partnership  lasted  twenty  five  (25)  years  until  Tommy  passed  away  six  (6)  years  ago.    Bill  is  now  officiating  with  Bruce  Varner,*  his  son–in-­‐law  Brad  Wilken,*and  Nathan*  Bill’s  grandson.       With  state  licensing,  there  is  a  lot  of  studying  required  for  planning  their  rotation  during  the  games  and  after  the  game  evaluations  of  their  performances  as  referees  during  the  game.  Coaches  can  be  a  pain  especially  when  they  want  to  tell  the  referees  about  how  a  certain  player  breaks  the  rules,  such  as  holding,  etc.    One  time  when  they  (Bill  and  Tommy)  were  standing  at  the  scorer’s  table  as  protocol  required  them  to    do,  they  were  bugged  by  the  coaches  so  much  that  they  went  to  the  center  of  the  court  and  turned  their  backs  to  the  coaches..    This  was  written  up  in  the  1984  Referees  Magazine  and  thus  started  a  new  trend  and  reduced/  stopped  the  chatter  from  the  coaches.    After  the  article  was  published  there  was  another  incident  when  the  refs  went  to  the  oppsite  side  of  the  court.    After  these  incidents  the  coaches  no  longer  bothered  them.       A  lot  of  comments  have  been  yelled  at  referees.  Such  things  as:  you  need  glasses,  your  blind,  make  the  calls  both  ways,  bad  calls,  etc.         In  the  second  half  of  a  game  in  Chillicothe;  a  coach  had  the  ball.    Bill  went  over  to  get  the  ball  and  the  coach  made  a  remark.    Bill  handed  him  the  ball  and  said  “you  are  doing  such  a  good  job  of  calling  the  game  you  call  the  rest  of  the  game.”  The  coach  did  not  say  another  word  for  the  remainder  of  the  game.  

    At  a  game  in  Gahanna  Lincoln  there  was  a  black  line  at  center  court  and  a  yellow  line  on  each  side  of  the  black  line.    All  three  (3)  lines    continued  across  the  court  .    Tommy  called  an  “over  and  back”  and  turned  the  ball  over  to  the  other  team.  After  a  while  he  realized  he  used  the  wrong  line  and  to  correct  the  error.    They  decided  to  give  the  ball  back  to  the  team  and  add  an  additional  two  (2)  minutes  to  the  clock.    After  thinking  a  little  more,  Bill  said  to  Tommy,  lets  add  2.3  minutes  to  the  clock.  Boy,  did  the  scorekeeper  have  a  time  adjusting  the  clock  to  add  the  .3  of  a  minute  to  the  clock.  

    Some  times  the  coaches  back  up  the  referees.    At  a  Licking  Valley/Utica  game  a  fan,  in  anger,  threw  the  ball  back  to  to  Bill.  Fortunatly  he  caught  it  before  it  hit  him  in  the  face.    The  L.V.  coach  ran  over  to  the  fan  and  had  him  ejected  from  the  game.  

    One  time  Bill  was  refereeing  with  Al  Deuschle*  who  is  kind  of  a    stocky  man.  They  were  talking  about  the  rotation  of  their  positions  for  the  game.    Al  said  he  would  take  care  of  his  area  and  Bill  would  do  the  rest.    It  so  happened  Al’s  area  was  the  middle  of  the  court  and  Bill”s  was  each  end.       Another  time  Bill  and  Tommy  were  to  referee  a  game  in  Logan  Elm.    Tommy  wanted  to  drive  his  Mustang  car  to  the  game.    On  a  snowy  night  driving    to  Lancaster  the  car  lights  went  out.    They  were  between  two  (2)  cars;  therefore  Tommy  was  not  too  concerned    until  the  car  in  front  of  them  turned  onto  another  road.  The  car  behind  them  later  turned  off.    This  became  a  problem.    Bill  was  able  to  reach  across  Tommy  and  finally  was  able  to  jiggle  the  wires  until  they  made  contact  and  they  had  lights.    As  long  as  he  held  them  together  they  had  

lights.    Finally  they  came  to  a  service  station,  and  although  the  fellow  was  closing  for  the  night  he  agreed  to  work  on  the  car.    He  loaned  them  his  Datsun  pick  up  and  Bill  and  Tommy  made  it  to  the  game.    After  the  garage  attendant  returned  Tommy’s  car,  he  asked  how  much  he  owed  him.    They  were  happy  when  he  told  them  it  would  be  $5  for  the  repair  of  the  electrical  wiring     One  of  the  highlites  of  Bill’s  career  was  the  time  he  refereed  the  D1  Finals  Lacrosse  Championship  in  1989.     Bill  was  a  science  and  physical  education  teacher,  coach,  principal  and  for  22  years  an  assistant  Superintendant  in  Newark.    He  is  currently  a  stength  coach  for  the  Denison  men’s  and  women’s  varsity  swimming  and  diving  teams.    He  has  officiated  high  school  and  college  Lacross  for  55  years.    He  has  officiated  high  school  and  college  basketball  for  50  years.       He  is  currently  a  Granville  Twsp.  Trustee  and  Vice  Pres.  of  School  Match  an  Int.  Ed.  research  and  consulting  firm.      

    He  is  in  the  Orange  High  School  Hall  of  Fame,  Denison  Athletic  Hall  of  Fame,  and  Ohio  Lacross  Hall  of  Fame  in  all  four  (4)  catagories  (pioneer,  coach,  player,  and  official).  

    Bill  wears  a  NCAA  D1  National  Championship  watch  in  lacrosse  and  a  NCAA  DIII  National  Championship  ring  in  swimming.     *I  have  not  verified  the  spelling  of  the  names.  

   P R E V I O U S   H I S T O R Y   f r o m   9 / 1 5 / 1 4     Why  did  Kiwanis  International  adopt  the  ”Young  Children  Priority  One”  program?    In  the  June/July  Kiwanis  Magazine  page  24  is  an  article  “  Brain  Power”  by  Julie  Saetre  that  says    a  baby’s  brain  developes  at  an  astonishing  rate  of  growth  in  the  first  730  –  1000  days  of  his/her  life.    It  is  this  critical  period  of  development  that  was  the  catalyst  for  the  YCPO  program,  which  was  founded  about  six  (6)  years  ago.  The  program    

  focuses  on  children  from  birth  to  5  years  of  age.    It  was  intended  to  last  three  (3)  years.    Kiwanis  decided  not  to  discontinue  the  program.
