posted by: Molly Gallagher
As if Wimbledon hasn't been attracting enough negative media attention this year--see Marta's post yesterday--St Mary's Church in Wimbledon Village has formally apologized for charging spectators £20 and allowing them to park on top of graves in its cemetery. The BBC is reporting that in years past St Mary's has allowed visitors to park on "graves of people whose descendants cannot be traced" and have donated the money to three designated charities. A spokesman for St Mary's Wimbledon told the BBC, "Sadly, this year, some cars were parked in inappropriate places. St Mary's is investigating to see how this happened and no further car parking will be allowed in the churchyard. "The vicar of St Mary's is sorry for any offence that has been caused."

As an educator, umpire/official, ex college/professional athlete, and past coach I believe it is our top job to guarentee our athletes recognize it is education first and athletic success second.
