A Special Day for Some Special Athletes

Hundreds of Special Olympics athletes took part in the organization's annual bowling tournament Saturday in Wauwatosa.

Special Olympics athletes from throughout southern Wisconsin took part in a friendly but spirited bowling competition Saturday at the AMF Bowlero Lanes in Wauwatosa.

The event was part of the organization's Southern Fall Sports Tournament that drew more than 550 athletes, nearly 200 coaches and 300 volunteers. Athletes also competed in a volleyball tournament at the Center Court Complex in Waukesha.

Organizers say the fall tournament is just one example of how athletes further Special Olympics' mission to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in the sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families and others.

Congratulations to all the Special Olympics athletes and thank you to all of the volunteers and the Milwaukee Police Officers who took part in the bowling competition! One of the best experiences of my life was when I worked with handicapped children. Helping out at Special Olympics was always one of my favorite days, so thank you for posting all the photos!

I dislike so much sarcasm in one post. Why not just come out and say something directly?

Steve, I have friends and co-workers whose political leanings vary from far right to far left andRead More everything in between. I certainly wouldn't make decisions "on their future" simply based on whether or not they signed a petition. I value the input I receive from my exposure to their varying viewpoints. It seems awfully petty and shortsighted to base so many decisions on one factor. When I hire an employee, political opinions are not important to me - credentials, experience, work ethic, that's what I look for; I am interested in hiring a competent person, not someone who simply shares my political leanings. You frequently tout yourself as a "producer" - of what, I don't know. Since you so strongly support the idea of making decisions on the litmus test of whether or not someone supports or opposes Governor Walker, I suggest that you let everyone know the name of your company and what you produce. That way, people who share your ideals can support your business and those that don't can make an educated decision as to whether or not they want to work with you.

One battle lost is not the end of the war. Walker has proven to be the biggest loser that this stateRead More has ever seen. We are almost last in every catagory and if your married with daughters all your thier rights have been taken away by your God. Remember when you and Walker take your place in hell the dead will some day walk the earth again.
