Tuesday, April 18, 2017I think the biggest thing is they really care about each other,” coach Brad Stevens said Monday. “It’s really tough when he’s sitting there and some of his family is back in Seattle. ... But I think the next extension of your family is who you’re around every day, and your team. ... They care about one another and they support one another. That’s what you hope you have in a team, but it’s probably not always the case.”Stevens said Thomas plans to play in Game 2 Tuesday night then head to Washington to be with his family and help complete funeral arrangements.Chyna Thomas died early Saturday in a one-car accident outside Tacoma. No funeral date is set, but Stevens said the Celtics plan to attend. Agent pleads guilty to giving benefits HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — A former NFL agent has pleaded guilty to violating North Carolina’s sports agent law by providing thousands of dollars in improper benefits to three former Tar Heels football players to entice them into signing contracts with him.Terry Watson, 43, of Marietta, Ga., entered his plea Monday afternoon in a deal to resolve 3½-year-old felony charges. Watson received 30 months of probation and a $5,000 fine, while Judge Graham Shirley issued a suspended jail sentence of six to eight months.Watson pleaded guilty to the 13 counts of athlete-agent inducement for providing roughly $24,000 in cash and travel accommodations to eventual NFL players Robert Quinn, Marvin Austin and Greg Little in 2010. Berdych advances at Monte Carlo MONTE CARLO, Monaco — Tomas Berdych needed two hours and three sets to overcome strong resistance from Russian qualifier Andrey Kuznetsov and reach the second round of the Monte Carlo Masters on Monday.All six seeded players in action at the first big clay-court event of the season progressed to the second round: No. 12 Robert Bautista Agut, No. 13 Pablo Carreno Busta, No. 14 Alexander Zverev, No. 15...
Saturday, April 08, 2017May 2015.After nearly two years of battling the cancer, Eleveld has stopped treatment.The weekend after Thanksgiving 2016, some members of the family shared a dinner out in Seattle with Eleveld and his longtime partner, Michele McIsaac.As they talked about him coming to the end of his treatment options and the plans for a belated 80th birthday party sometime in 2017, someone suggested moving the party up."We had about 6 people there and everybody just sort of lit up at that idea," Kerry Eleveld said. "That was the moment that we as a family and my father and his partner first started considering it."The idea of having a party instead of a funeral is nothing new, she said."Long before he had cancer, he would always say don't throw a funeral for me, have a party," Eleveld said. "This feels like the perfect way to honor my father, because it's the way he wants to do it. It seems perfectly fitting."But setting a date for the party proved to be a little more difficult, she said."Because you want to hold as much hope as long as you can," Eleveld said. "The question is, when do you plan the end of life party? Nobody's ready to call it a day too soon."The moment came, she said, at a meeting last week with his doctor, who told him he likely had 4-6 weeks to live."Then they got to work," Eleveld said.In his "nobit," published first in the Sunday, March 12, edition of The Grand Rapids Press, her father invited the "countless people who have influenced my life" to join him Saturday at Thousand Oaks Golf Club, 4100 Thousand Oaks Dr. NE in Grand Rapids. He invites friends, colleagues and family to come and "share a roast beef sandwich, some shrimp and a beer with - on me!"It will be the only public event to celebrate her father's life, Kerry Eleveld said."This is the sole sort of event that we're having," she said. "He just absolutely never wanted a funeral and we're not going to have one."Though intended primarily as a way to gather friends and family together, the "nobit" has generated quite a bit of interest, Eleveld said.The "guestbook" attached to Eleveld's online obituary already has several entries. Though many are from family and friends, some are from strangers reacting to the idea."Sir, I do not know you, but reading your invitation to celebrate life was the neatest idea I've read today!" Patricia Deur-Vis wrote. "I can see myself doing this some day."Another guestbook signer admits to not knowing Eleveld personally, but says in writing the obit he has earned "my utmost respect."Kerry Eleveld said she thinks her father's plans raise questions about how we deal all deal with death."I do think there is a lot more thought now nationally about what end of life means, about how we should approach it and what's meaningful and what isn't," Eleveld said. "And if there's a better way of doing this than we've been doing it."For those who still don't understand the motivation behind her father's unusual decision to draft an obituary and hold a open house prior to his death, Eleveld points to the last line of his "nobit":"Please know that the end of my life is the ultimate "peanut item" in comparison to how much I have enjoyed my life with all of you," he wrote.She explains that "peanut item" is one of her father's favorite terms to describe items of minuscule importance. His death, Eleveld said, is a minor occurrence in his own mind. The important thing is all the time he's shared with others. ...
