Well, here is the end of the rusty rivet story. We took the skates in to
have the rivets replaced. When they took the blade and the thing that
holds the blade off, they found that the piece inside was broken. (Sorry
that I do not have the technical terms.) It was actually much worse a
problem than rusty rivets. They replaced everything, including the rivets
and remounted the blade for $35. Meanwhile we had to get new skates.
I tried to hide the old skates until the new skates (Bauer 5000 instead of
3000) were broken in. I didn't hide them well enough, she found them, but
can't skate on them because they need sharpening. Do I "forget" to sharpen
them, or let her have them for play-offs and districts?

Sports stores and manufacturers etc. are not always the best places to
start. It is the old, if I do it for you, I have to do it for everyone
answer. How about approaching the people you patronize all the time, just
like the kids do. The local pharmacy, gas station, hair dresser, person
who works for a large company. Also, what about the specialty women's
services. There are lots of women's health centers that are attached to
major hospitals. Also, look at your insurance. If there is a wellness
clause, approach them. If more than one of you have the same carrier, make
sure that they know. Snapple has taken over a whole league in the
northeast. Is there a product like that in your area that would like some
more visibility. (Like snapple needed it.) Think about all your relatives
and friends, and try to find one who is high up in a bank or local
business. It is easier to get money from someone who knows you. They are
too embarassed to say no, although you will be surprised.
Good luck.

Absolutely let her skate on her old ones for these upcoming play-offs.
Don't chance such important games to new skates!

If there is one lesson I've learned as an operating room nurse from obnoxious
doctors, its this: instruments broken BEYOND repair are never seen again.
Hence the throwing across the room and destruction the offending clamp
incidents .
Follow these directions specifically: Take the broken skates outside and lay
them in the driveway. Back car/sport utility vehicle/snow blower over them.
Apologize profusely and comment "at least you have new skates to skate the
playoffs". Do keep us posted on the outcome of the broken rivet saga!

p.s. An alternate plan is to mail them "General Delivery" (the postmaster
will know who to contact) to Iqualuit, Northwest Territories, where the
donation of women's hockey gear is helping get a women's league started.

Check out this address. http://www.fosters.com/sports/index.htm Scroll
down to "Carisa Zaban is juggling her net worth." This is my kid's
(Jessica of the rivets) favorite hockey player and hero. Thought I would
share it with you.

GREAT! Girls Really Expect A Team!
More and more girls are learning what most boys have known for so long:
Sports are about so much more than the score!!
