- Saving Arm Pit / by Hyde, Natalie,1963-;
Includes Internet addresses (p. 136)."When vandals deface the Harmony Point sign, the town does indeed seem to become the "arm Pit" of the region. The baseball team hasn't won a game in two seasons and the town itself is falling into disrepair. But when the new postmaster becomes the new ball coach, Clay and the rest of the Terriers finally seem to stand a chance of winning a game. Until they overhear a bureaucrat from the city say that the post office will close unless "the numbers" work out. The team begins "Operation Tennis Elbow": a letter-writing campaign designed to generate enough mail to keep the post office--and its postmaster--in town. And along the way, they learn the power of the pen in effecting positive changes in their community"--http://www.amazon.com.LSC- Subjects: Baseball stories.; Baseball teams; Baseball coaches; Postmasters; Post office stations and branches; Community life;

Toby Jones, Monica Dolan, Julie Hesmondhalgh, Shaun Dooley, Ian Hart, Alex Jennings, Katherine Kelly, Will Mellor, Amit Shah, Krupa Pattani, Lia Williams.Based on the true story of one man's fight against one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history. Starting more than 20 years ago, the Post Office wrongly dismissed, harassed, and prosecuted hundreds of innocent sub-postmasters for theft, fraud, and false accounting. Sub Postmasters were told they were the only ones to report a problem with a new computer system called Horizon. When Alan Bates was fired, he refused to accept the Post Office blame. He found and brought together a group of other isolated and wrongly accused victims to form the Justice for Sub Postmasters Alliance. Alan Bates and his friends exposed a shocking scandal at the heart of the Post Office, a government-owned and much-loved national institution.PG.Closed-captioned for the hearing impaired.Subtitled for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH).DVD ; wide screen presentation ; stereophonic.- Subjects: Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Fiction television programs.; Biographical television programs.; Historical television programs.; Legal television programs.; Television programs.; Television mini-series.; Bates, Alan, 1954-; Judicial error; Post office buildings; Software failures; Postal service; Class actions (Civil procedure); Postmasters;
