When my daughter was in kindergarten we lived in Naples. Naples didn't have a basketball program for her age. Casco did, the coach, Casco Rec director and the team were happy to have her join. Harvey tried to block her joining. I mean really he bullied a 4 year old little girl from joining a basketball team when Naples didn't have a program for her to join.

Thank you so much for all of your support. I've had a number of parents tell me they support this and forward the petition along, but who are afraid to sign because they fear that he'll take it out on their kids. That is just wrong.

Our kids deserve better. There is no room for rigidity when working with our youth, eventually it will break. The toxic environment should not be tolerated.

Our children deserve better. We are killing our sports by having this individual dictating who, what, where and when. He has no team work mentality and refuses to work with anyone who wants to better our children.

I've experienced his incredibly rude behavior towards myself & my husband when trying to talk to him in an adult manor & he used inappropriate language & tried to bully us with his size. My husband never once raised his voice to Harvey & my husband asked him to lower his tone. Again a complete misunderstanding as we were not told our KB classes could not be held in the Naples town gym while the rec center was going on in the summer. An honest mistake from the town but truly Harvey has no communication skills to be working with the public & I had a full class to witness this horrible act of a leader of the town of Naples ! You should be embarrassed he is in the position he is in. I support this partition !

He should have been let go years ago! The best interest of the kiddos has not been his priority for years.

As terrible as this is, it doesn't even surprise me.... I had a similar experience at the town boat launch, over a dog we were taking on a boat. In the parking area, nowhere near the beach.. He demanded we leave it in the truck in 90 deg heat until we got underway. (A 10 yr old retriever with cancer). Owned by NAPLES RESIDENTS who pay taxes. Needless to say, things heated up a bit and he pulled the cop calling card out also. Having known him for many years I believe that he could have been more flexible... Some people just don't have the necessary personality or people skills to deal with the community.

Our children deserve a rec director that will put them before their own ego, the children first above all else!

I'm outraged byhis latest course of action regarding these kids and the football season they were so looking forward to! Remove him from his post and replace him with a compassionate coach more suited tobwork with children!

I find Harvey's abuse of power, bullying and repeated selfish and unreasonable actions that punish and deprive the children of this community reprehensible. It is time for his removal.
