REGULAR MEETING September 10, 2018 achieve such a high ranking. Number four (4) is fantastic! But even moreso, to let everybody in this country know that the children of South Bend have great sportsmanship,that you are leaders. We really appreciate you for putting that on display for all to see. Thank you so much. Councilmember Jo M. Broden stated, Congratulations! As I listen to the teams that you competed against, I think some of those teams have weather in their favor in terms of their ability to play nearly year-round ball. So I know your commitment when you step on the field must just go out the roof. Thank you for working so hard, and for this wonderful achievement. I know East Side has a terrific winning tradition, so you represented your park well. We're proud of you, your parents are proud of you, the Mayor is proud of you, the coaches are proud of you, and I'm sure you're proud of yourself. Even the little siblings in back are proud. Congratulations, and keep up the good work. Councilmember Jake Teshka stated, I've been able to follow your success this year, thanks to our proud City Clerk Kareemah Fowler. She is proud of you and we all are. It's one thing to have great athleticism,but one(1)thing everyone has noted is the sportsmanship. You guys represented our City so well in that arena. I echo the Mayor's sentiments and I encourage you to keep that up in the classroom and in the hallways at school, and in everything that you do throughout the rest of your lives. Sportsmanship is such a valuable trait to have. Councilmember Gavin Ferlic stated, Congratulations, especially on the sportsmanship award. We're really proud of you. Councilmember Oliver Davis stated, You all play in the Cal Ripken League. None of you were here when he played. Your parents saw Cal Ripken play. He had the record for most games played, and I remember watching him play for Baltimore. He played in 6,032 straight games. He stayed there and he always played, no matter what, and we want you to follow that strength of being able to stand in the game and do well. We appreciate you and we are encouraged by you and your families. Councilmember Gavin Ferlic made a motion to adopt the legislation by acclamation. Councilmember Jo M. Broden seconded this motion which carried unanimously by a voice vote of eight (8) ayes.
