Controversy at Relay for Life

Great work by all the volunteers who put on the Relay for Life to raise money for cancer research.

However, there was some controversy that marred the event.

Ben Oliver, 10, would have whupped the Sarge in the race if he wasn't so tired! — Ben Oliver, 10, would have whupped the Sarge in the race if he wasn’t so tired!

I assisted by being the emcee of the event and while doing so, met up with a 10-year-old by the name of Ben, Sheila and Stuart’s grandson.

Ben had attitude so I put the challenge to him, if he raised $50 from the crowd I would whup his butt on the track in a 40-yard dash. He raised $100 and shoved it in my face and said, “it’s on!”

Sheila then took me aside and cautioned me that Ben was a good athlete and fast runner. Hence I had to come up with a plan. I took Ben aside and advised him that somehow I have to make this a fair and honest race.

Being 59, overweight and out of shape, I thought if he simply jogged a full lap of the track I would wait at the start line and when he arrived at the start line the race is on. He agreed. So I watched him jog the length and when he joined me at the start line we gave it our all. I demolished him in front of his family and friends. It was bad. Ben accused me of cheating, stating that I jumped the start as he approached the start line. I checked the instant replay and cameras that people had and I admit that I probably jumped the line by only few inches! Not enough to reflect the final outcome.

I took Ben aside to teach him a valuable lesson in life. I advised him, if in fact I did cheat, which I didn’t, he should have a good look at the four stripes on my shirt advising him that makes me a Staff Sgt and also a Detachment Commander. I made this comment to him: “I didn’t get to be a Staff Sgt and Commander by being stupid.”

I learned Ben was bit of a sore loser when he and his gang of friends bombed me with water balloons. I offered him a rematch next year.
