It's my understanding that if Mr. Dean just apologized to PTWLL, he would be allowed at complex. Apologizing for comments he made with no specific proof of them being true. Just apologize already and go watch your son play.

I find it extremely distressing that Mr Carifi, a member of our Town Council who has taken oath to uphold the laws of our state and municipality, would encourage someone to trespass against another whether he agrees with the reasoning behind the decision or not. Our elected are trusted with upholding the law and if one is so willing to disregard the laws in place that protect the rights of each of the citizens of his community then I give question as to what other laws he might easily set aside. A seat on our town Council does not elevate his judgement above the law and I would expect that he would stand behind our law enforcement officers if they are called upon to enforce them. If need be, we have judges that are charged with rendering decisions. I look for heart in our elected but first they have an obligation to respect the laws, and the rights given to each by law, even if he might not agree with the why. I've always had confidence that each member of our Town Council would easily meet this minimum standard but now I'm quite concerned to learn, that is not the case.

Carol, Having a heart is not a criminal offense neither is having common sense.
If the allegations against me can all go away with a apology doesnt seem to me like the allegations are all that provable.If so enforce my sentence after their claims come to be proven.How does anyone think that enforcing this type of punishment against a Father and Son is acceptable when all it is are accusations of their own.
I again thank the council members for their interest in how the organazation is handling their business on Parsippany Owned Property

Ok, your claims were never proven, but yet you are asking for theirs to be. They are saying to apologize and be let back in complex..do that..see if they are of their word. Funny...thought kids sports were about the kids.

Bob--Scott..in looking at the March 30 letter, apology is certainly there for actions taken..Point taken. If PTW has been looking for that to allow Scott back in..then he followed through on that. Now it's time for them to. I do believe in second chances--especially regarding Scott's family situation and how important spending time with his son is.

Seriously again? It's obvious the board wants an apology that what he said wasn't true which is obviously they weren't. All due respect it's clearly he is looking for a problem. Scott you and Steve Revette have been talking about the girls softball fields. You don't have a daughter what were you doing down by the fields in the first place? Sometimes when you try and ruin people's good names and reputation an apology is not good enough. Also I passed by the park road feels and there were people working on those fields all day. I'm not talking about people who work for the town but more then likely people who volunteer for little league.

Come on folks. At Tuesday's Town Council meeting,(which I attended) Councilmen Carifi and Ferrara simply offered to see if they could broker a resolution to the ongoing problem created by the PTLLW's absurd 7 year ban of a Dad who asked some questions that made certain leaders of the PTLLW uneasy. Councilman Ferrara and Counciman Carifi unlike Mayor Barberio ( who cowered behind Mr. Inglesino's opinion that this wasn't the Municipality's problem) demonstrated the feelings that parents in Parsippany share when they proudly watch their sons and daugthers participate in America's past time. Sports in Parsippany teach our children to win and lose graciously and hopefully with Mr. Carifi's and Mr. Ferrrao's help the PTHLW, which is rapidly losing the community's respect and support, will direct Mr. Neglia and his cronies to stop acting like spoiled brats and to begin acting like the boys and girls who honor the PTHLW with their sense of good sportsmanship and fair play. Enough grandstanding already. Let's play ball and invite everyone to the game that kids love even when they are all grown up.

All due respect Mr. Crawford you are acting like this guy did nothing wrong. The very people you call spoil brats are the very people who VOLUNTEER on a regular basis. These people on the board do not get paid. Bob you are taking the word of one person vs the word of 25 board members. Are you really saying all 25 board members are corrupt? Is it good sportsmanship to say you're going to take out board members? You want fair? What Scott Dean said about these people wasn't fair. Bob just wondering you live on the high side of town. Who on little league west board do you know with the exception of the neglias? I'm not talking about you know of them but you know them because you have actually had a conversation with them.

The Council and PTWLL should be applauded for their decisions and for standing up to the sordid conduct of Scott Dean.
Scott Dean EARNED the ban by engaging in a sustained campaign of bad behavior (to put it nicely).
Scott Dean is sleeping in the bed he himself made, and that is the fairest type of justice.

As for the son not having his father watch games, the son has only his father to blame for that and it ultimately may be a benefit for young man.
If the young man feels some sting now from his father's conduct, perhaps then the young man will learn that there are consequences to choices, that individual responsibility matters, and that juvenile and reckless conduct like his father's can't be rewarded.

The man with the foul lanquage is back. Mr. Crawford likes using words like cronies. Why because Mr. Crawfod doesn't like Neglia. Now all of a sudden Mr. Crawford is a Lawyer. Isn't your good friend a lawyer? The one that had to pull you away at the Parsippany High football game when you were using all that foul language. At least you finally admid it. MAYBE YOU SHOULD READ THE SPORTS CODE OF CONDUCT. Let's talk about Councilman Carifi. He should know better. I like the way he Carifi uses, oh I wouldn't want to be banned from seeing my child play. THEN DON'T BREAK THE RULES. Grandstanding, are you kidding me Mr. Bobby. That is all you do is GRANDSTAND. By the way Mr. Crawford do you know what happened at the PTLLW complex? On going problem? So what do does a youth organization do. Let volunteer coaches use foul lanquage any time they wish. Well I guess you wouldn't mind since you use foul lanquage during high school games.

Fellas
Let it go and let a Dad watch his son play ball. Mistakes have been made and apologies extended. At the very least let's agree that the punishment should fit the "crime". A seven year ban for asking some questions that made some people uncomfortable.By the way would anyone from the PTTLW care to explain how that 7 year sentence was arrived at?
Come on Frank, Robert and Gordo unruffle your feathers, demonstrate your magnanimity, pull up your big boy pants and move on with the great work that the PTLLW under the leadership of the 25 member Board of Directors is doing.

Lets be clear
1)The violation of code of conduct they are reporting is threats made to board members
Absolutely false if threats were actually made their eronious police reports would have at least amounted in me being contacted by police.
2)There has never been incident or complaint made against me of inappropriate behavior around or during games,
3)What I did was actually report unsportsmanlike behavior which was asked for us as coaches to do in the start of the season,but it was one of their own so to speak and when it wasnt dealt with in a manner I thought was appropriate I went to a higher authority.which upset the league,hense coaching being revoked and the start of no questions being answered.
All we need to do is have ALL members of this board and myself sit down and hash this out as I have asked since March of last year.
Maybe one of the boardmembers can comment on police reports and or illegal backround checks and a 7 year ban also why do coaches and or parents with much more questionable behavior watch and coach while I do not.
Answer the questions Please !!!
Scott

Mr. Crawford yo still didn't answer my questions. You call these people cronies how many of them do you know? How many people on the Par Troy west board of directors do you know? Also this wasn't the first punishment handed out. It's not like they went straight to seven years. At 1 point he was banned from everything but his son's games meaning he could attend them. He kept pushing and pushing and finally the board had enough. Also to Scott. I DO AGREE WITH YOU ON 1 THING.

Just wanted to make you all aware of the tactics taken by Mr.Neglia enlisting his FOD buddies for a little favor I guess he couldnt deliver the return favor not yet anyway.Fictitious letters,False police reports illegal back round checks.
Wow keep up the blind following because of 20 years of volunteering
see link below ask him about it this league is open to questions just ask them.

Gordon, I was allowed to attend only within the timeframe they gave for their apology.
Also you keep referring to 25 people on this board.Though 25 shirts were handed out doesnt mean 25 people vote nor does it mean all 25 have all the information on what transpired going back to June 2010, Why has the request of a full member sit down been rejected.
Let me be clear this is not against the board as your president keeps claiming.
Very simple: One Meeting, All Members, 1 Solution lets try it?

Scott

let the man watch his son play he has every right to ask a question if you think he is wrong just take a good look at your fields what bad shape they are in and the food stand it is sad then look at the east fields much much nicer this is what happens when you have the same people running the show look at the board all close friends husband wife husband wife and the softball director has no kids in the league same people over and over for years were is the money going for improvements

A PARENT what's that suppose to mean he doesn't have any kids in the league? My father does a lot for those girls. All the problems they have at the baseball field they do not have the softball fields. While I'm sure there are people who dislike my father a majority of people like him. He has made a system that works and he FOUGHT for those girls to have bathrooms put in. He also voluntarily took a couple days off from work to get the field ready for Brooklawn to use because it's tough for some people walking down to that pathetic field. How can any of you accuse my father of stealing? My father is a very very good softball coach. He's gotten offers from schools all over the country to coach but he DECLINES each and every one for two reasons. 1. He only likes to volunteer. 2. He doesn't want to let the girls down. You really think he would do something like that to ruin his very well RESPECTED name from all over the state. Guys when was the last time a baseball team won district championship? Last year both the 9 10 year olds and 11 12 year old softball teams won districts with the 10 year olds going to states. In about the past 10 years softball has produced 7 district championships Baseball has produced about 1. Also you sit here and think that the season is only from April to June. There are clinics. Pitching lessons. Fall ball. A parent why don't you go and ask the softball coaches if they think my father is as evil as you make him out to be. A majority will disagree

Enough is enough. Look how much time and energy the league is wasting on this issue. Regardless of what Scott Dean did (if anything) a seven year, "you may never watch your kid play little league again" sentence is a bit harsh. A convicted sex offender is allowed on the complex grounds but a dad who has bad blood between himself and the league is forbidden. Maybe PTLLW should spend more time cleaning up the fields (excluding park road) cleaning up the complex and stop making kids begs for money doing a can shake.

Steve,
I asked you some very relavent questions regarding what and how this all started,have you inquired about that at all l. You have asked me questions and I have answered them.Are you curious at all,The board as a whole has a responsability to make informed decisions on everything.They run the league together their job should be to make decisions on facts not what someone tells them to do.
Please focus on facts. you cant always believe everything you hear.
Scott

Hi Scott,
Nobody is in anybody's pocket. Like every organization I'm sure everybody has certain responsibilities. Not everybody deals with every thing. Like the safety officer will not deal directly with the umpires that is Mike Jr's job. This is all I'm saying on this matter. Par Troy west has issued their statement I' don't need to defend them anymore.

Steve, Thanks for responding, I just hope reasonable minds will prevail here.
If the entire board was a)accused of anything inproper or b)threatened in anyway as Mr.Justino claims.
Wouldnt they all be involved with clearing this matter up for the reputation of the league if anything?
My belief is that people on the board including many parents of the league dare not question things for fear of the Wrath that can obviously come.
Please ask your family and any boardmember for this final resolution
1 meeting All members and 1 solution= my dream of fields
