Today's Paper | January 31, 2023
Balochistan parties divided over no-trust motion
Saleem Shahid Published May 26, 2022
QUETTA: Differences have surfaced in the ruling Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) and other coalition parties over the issue of a no-trust motion moved by a group of 14 MPAs of different parties against Chief Minister Qudoos Bizenjo and to be tabled in the provincial assembly session on Thursday (today).
The signatories of the no-trust motion include seven members of the ruling Balochistan Awami Party, four from Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and three from the Awami National Party (ANP).
BAP is divided over the no-trust motion, as two groups in the party are threatening MPAs that in case of opposing or supporting the motion, they would face action under Article 63A of the Constitution.
Former chief minister and BAP president Jam Kamal Alyani has already directed party MPAs, including CM Bizenjo, that they should ensure their presence in the house when the no-trust motion is tabled for formally moving in the house. He has warned that BAP would write to the election commission for action under Article 63A against party members who either remained absent from the house or voted against the resolution.
On the other hand, CM Bizenjo, who is the parliamentary leader of BAP in the assembly, also served notices to the seven MPAs of the party, including Mr Aylani, that they should withdraw their names from the motion or face action under the article in light of the recent decision of the apex court that the vote of dissident members would not be counted. Both sides were claiming their right to take action against MPAs who would support or oppose the no-trust motion. Other parties that have signed the no-trust motion were also facing differences in the party ranks.
The PTI, which has seven MPAs in the Balochistan assembly, is also divided in two groups, with the one including Sardar Yar Muhammad Rind and three other MPAs supporting the motion while the other three members are opposing it.

Wyatt's friend, Porter, injured his hip recently and cannot go out to play. So Wyatt strapped two bowls of warm macaroni and cheese to the back of his motorcycle and drove it to his home so they could have lunch together. When asked what he was doing he said, "I'm doing what friends do for each other."


Ultimately, the challenges we face cannot be addressed within a leadership model that reserves power for the privileged, typically white few. We need a more radical vision for what it means to lead; Carlton Turner is interested in how we get there.

Cameron Wagoner RHP / OF / Tecumseh, MI / 2019
Rankings StateRank: 5 / POS: 2 OverallRank: 360 / POS: 121
TECUMSEH - When Cameron Wagoner committed to Central Michigan it was more than a commitment to the school. It was an allegiance to the coaches.
Then head coach Steve Jaksa retired. With assistant Jeff Opalewski not under consideration to lead the program (Jordan Bischel, the GLIAC Coach of the Year the last two seasons at Northwood, has since been named head coach), Wagoner decided to reopen his college recruitment.
"I loved coach Opalewski, he's the reason I committed there," explained the Tecumseh senior-to-be, who committed to CMU last October. "I knew I could trust coach Jaska and with coach Opalewski not getting the job … it's not what you think of when you commit to a school."
Interest in the 6-6 180-pound right-handed pitcher exploded at last year's Future Games.
"I called a lot of schools after that," explained Wagoner. "Sept. 1 was a crazy day. Starting at 1 a.m. every single school I called sent me a text. It all really kicked off at the Future Games."
Xavier, Michigan State, Butler, Western Michigan, Kentucky and Wake Forest were among the those Wagoner had been in contact with before Central Michigan became his school of choice.
"I wanted to be done with recruitment," Wagoner admitted.
Instead, the top-ranked unsigned 2019 in the state is now out on the open market.

Max Huntley SS / OF / Mattawan, MI / 2019
Rankings StateRank: 10 / POS: 2
MATTAWAN - Max Huntley knows what he is looking for in a college baseball coach. He found it once, but is looking again after the retirement of Central Michigan veteran mentor Steve Jaksa.
The decision to call it quits by the second-winningest CMU head coach in school history has Huntley reconsidering his commitment to the Mid-American Conference school.
"The plan was 100 percent to go there," the senior-to-be at Mattawan said. "But when he retired the coaching situation became unclear. I talked to assistant coach Jeff Opalewski (associate head coach and recruiting coordinator) and he said he wasn't a finalist. I really like him and he doesn't know if he'll return."
Jordan Bischel was named the new head coach at CMU this week, taking over for Jaksa after 16 years in charge of the program. In that time Jaksa totaled 507 wins, won three MAC titles and had 33 MLB draft picks, including three this year.
Gannon Andrews C / 2B / Portage Northern, MI / 2020
PORTAGE - The influence a coaching father can have on a son is endless.
Gannon Andrews has just that in his dad Chris, the head baseball coach at Portage Northern.
"I've grown up in the dugout at high school games since I can remember," the junior-to-be said. "My dad has been coach since I was born."
The love of the game has certainly rubbed off on Andrews, whose father is closing in on 500 victories after just completing his 18th year in charge of the Huskies.
"My dad has definitely influenced me by me watching the way he coaches," Andrews explained. "I see him as a great role model and I want to do a good job for him. He played high school and college ball and I want to follow in his footsteps."
The 30th-ranked player in the state's 2020 class is headed in that direction with an unofficial visit to Michigan and a Ball State camp thus far. Central Michigan, Western Michigan, Grand Valley and Davenport are others that have the promising catcher on their radar.
Jason Williams C / RHP / Cass Tech, MI / 2020
DETROIT - The need for exposure defines Jason Williams right now. But the Cass Tech junior-to-be is looking to change the lack of interest this summer.
"I've not been in the right place," Williams said about his slow-moving recruitment to date. "I've played on some lower-level teams and not gotten the exposure I can have elsewhere. There's not a lot of exposure playing Detroit public schools."
The hope is that things change soon.
"I went to a PBR showcase last summer and Aaron (Wilson, PBR Michigan Scouting Director) asked me to play on Arsenal this year," the 50th-ranked player in Michigan's 2020 class reflected. "I'm hoping playing with Arsenal will give me more exposure. We're going to play the Black Swamp and in Atlanta. I'm also hoping to play at the Top Prospect Games (June 26-27 at Eastern Michigan) and Aaron said there'd be a showcase for Arsenal."
What colleges will see in Williams is a promising catcher who is a much larger player than a year ago.
Mark Kattula 3B / 1B / Stevenson, MI / 2020
STEVENSON - Watching an older brother grow up playing baseball and eventually reaching the college level has been a driving force for Mark Kattula.
While Michael Kattula went on to play at Arkansas State, younger sibling Mark, now a sophomore at Stevenson High School, has aspirations to make it big in the sport he grew to love at a young age.
"He was the reason I picked up a bat and have been playing since I was four-years-old," Kattula said of his brother, now 25. "I saw the success, the dedication and how driven he was for a goal he set at a young age. I always wanted to carry that on and get that feeling he had."
Camps at Michigan State, Cincinnati and Eastern Kentucky along with the past two PBR Preseason All-State showcases have been beneficial in helping the 6-0 195-pounder get noticed.
Grant Stephenson SS / RHP / Algonac, MI / 2020
CLAY - Brotherly support has helped Grant Stephenson get through a setback in his baseball life.
It was last May when Stephenson, now a sophomore at Algonac High School, tore a ligament in his right elbow and a few months later Tommy John Surgery took place.
"It's been nine months now and my arm is 90 percent," the 18th-ranked player in the state's 2020 class said. "Rehab has been really good so far and I'm starting to get confident. I've not been on the mound yet, probably in a month."
Instead, the college shortstop and pitching prospect has been working his way toward recovery playing other positions.
"It did put me in a setback mentally," the 6-2 165-pounder admitted. "But I overcame that. It feels good to be back after missing all last summer. Right now I'm hitting and playing first base. About two weeks ago I got to play second base."
Alec Azar RHP / 1B / University Liggett, MI / 2019
Rankings StateRank: 64 / POS: 20
GROSSE POINTE WOODS - While baseball is a big part of the future of Alec Azar, the University Liggett junior understands there is more to life.
"I take pride in the way I play baseball, but I especially take pride in my academics," Azar said. "The few schools I've been looking at are strong academically. I want to do great things outside of baseball."
But that has not stopped Azar, who carries a 4.08 GPA on a 4.0 scale and plans to major in either business or economics, from seeking out the right college fit that includes baseball and strong academics.
"I've taken a few visits, but my mind is not made up yet," the 64th-ranked junior in the state said. "The process is going well. I'm getting better every day and just trying to enjoy it all."
Xander Morris RHP / OF / Portage Northern, MI / 2021
Rankings StateRank: 5 / POS: 1
PORTAGE - Pitching in the first Midwest Select event in mid-April was quite a challenge for any high school player. Doing it as a freshman made the task at hand even more difficult.
But Xander Morris was not overwhelmed. The Portage Northern ninth-grader came through with a big-time performance in a 2-0 win over Roncalli, one of the top-rated 4A teams in the state of Indiana.
"That was a lot of fun," said the 6-0 160-pounder, who combined with two teammates to throw a three-hitter at the prestigious event held at Grand Park in Westfield, Ind. "I just went out and tried to do my best. My team was behind me and we got the win. It was one of the better times I've pitched. Most of my pitches were working."
Morris knew that was necessary against strong opposition that included teams from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois in addition to Michigan.
"The competition was some of the best I've ever seen," the fifth-ranked player in the state's 2021 class said. "It just makes you go out there with a different mindset. Pitch your best, have fun and do your job."
Jake Engelkes RHP / 1B / Rockford, MI / 2019
ROCKFORD - Velocity is on the rise and interest from colleges is there.
A little more velo and Jake Engelkes sees the potential to talk with even more schools as the recruiting process heats up for the Rockford junior.
"Velo is something that's held me back from the bigger Division I schools, but I'm creeping to the upper 80s," explained the right-handed hurler. "If I can be more consistent with my change that will help, too. When I get a good one off it does really well, I just need to be more consistent with it."
Two visits to Western Michigan and one to Taylor University, an NAIA school in Indiana, have taken place thus far for the 65th-ranked player in Michigan's 2019 class. A visit is planned for May 6 to Central Michigan while there has also been talk with Dartmouth, Hillsdale, Northwood and Liberty. Western, Central, Hillsdale and Northwood all saw Engelkes at PBR showcases.
Alex McCormack LHP / 1B / Bloomfield Hills, MI / 2018
BLOOMFIELD HILLS - It appears to be down to a pair of Division II schools when it comes to the future of Alex McCormack.
The Bloomfield Hills senior has had an offer from Ashland and is "waiting to hear back" from Grand Valley State.
"I played for the Triple Crown Royals last year and they've sent a lot of kids to Ashland," McCormack explained. "My coach recommended me, I had a private workout and they think I could develop into a two-way. That's what I'd like to do and see how it develops. But whatever works best for the college.
"With Grand Valley, I've sent them a video and they asked me to come work out. They liked my pitching being a left-hander with movement on the fastball. They didn't see me as a first baseman, I'm not big enough, but they felt I could pitch if I developed."
The 6-3 185-pounder, who also had interest during his recruitment from Dartmouth, Army and Cornell, would love to be given the chance to pitch and play first base.
Logan Evans RHP / 3B / Saline, MI / 2019
SALINE - While the idea of going to Army to play college baseball is still a consideration, Logan Evans has decided to decommit from the United States Military Academy.
"I think I committed too early," explained Evans, a junior at Saline. "Army was my first offer and four weeks later, at the end of summer, I committed. But now I've decided I want to get myself out there and give other colleges another chance."
Army's interest in Evans came at the Future Games in August.
"They saw me on the first day at third base and the second day saw me pitch," the 6-4 210-pounder said. "They liked what I do on the mound and in the field. Then I went to their specific camp, went on a tour and then they offered me."
But a change of mind has Evans ready to assess other options.
"I plan to talk to some of the Big 10 schools I had talked to before," noted Evans, who previously took visits to Indiana and Michigan State. "I'll reach out to a few ACC schools, a few in the Big East and a couple SEC schools. But right now I'm going to collect my thoughts after decommitting."
Max Longman 1B / RHP / Portage Central, MI / 2019
PORTAGE - Max Longman knows what he wants in a college.
"I like the Division I dream right now," Longman said. "I'd like to go to a program that's established. I'm very competitive and love to win."
The Portage Central junior has received a lot of exposure in an attempt to reach that dream, participating in the PBR Future Game Trials as a freshman, The Preseason at Kalamazoo as a sophomore and the Maroons Team Camp in the fall.
There was also a visit to Western Michigan earlier in the school year as well as camps at Central Michigan, Michigan State and Indiana in addition to WMU.
"They like my hitting and see me as being a leader," the 6-2 215-pounder said about college interest received thus far. "I'm honest with them and tell them things I like to do and what I like about their team. I show an interest in them."
The 74th-ranked junior in the state knows improvement in his game will help gain more interest from colleges.
Emmanuel Clark 1B / OF / Western International, MI / 2019
DETROIT - Every aspect of his game is getting better. Emmanuel Clark is hoping colleges see the improvement as the Western International junior prepares for the next level.
"I've seen my numbers really improve," explained Clark, who has gained exposure in the past year at three PBR events - Top Prospect Games, Little Caesars Scout Day and Arsenal Scout Day. "Last year at the Future Games tryouts I was 74 infield and outfield. I've bumped up to 82 in the outfield and 80 infield. My exit velo went from 86 to 90."
Lawrence Tech and McComb College expressed interest after the Little Caesars event. The 6-0 185-pounder has also been in contact with Albion, Calvin and Arizona Western JUCO while last year there was a visit to Davenport after Clark played in the City Championship game at Comerica Park.
"They like my strong arm, but most importantly my hitting," Clark explained about the college interest. "That's one of my best qualities."
Improving other areas of the game is helping make Clark a more well-rounded player.
Jacob Visscher LHP / 1B / Hamilton, MI / 2019
HAMILTON - The possibility of playing baseball in college has never been a major concern for Jacob Visscher.
"I've always had that dream of playing at the next level since I can remember," Visscher explained. "But there was never a point that I can think of that I realized it might happen. I've just listened to what my family has always said - work hard at everything you do. That mentality has worked out. It's all about doing your full effort and even seek out ways to get extra work in if that's what it takes to improve."
The Hamilton junior has done quite well with the 'family plan' of hard work and colleges have taken notice.
"I've visited Western Michigan and been talking to them quite a bit," the 6-2 180-pound left-handed pitcher said. "I've also talked a little bit with Michigan State and they're coming to see me this spring."
A month ago, Visscher received his first college offer, with Indiana Wesleyan reaching out to the 78th-rated player in Michigan's 2019 class.
Aaron Ball RHP / Lakeland, MI / 2018
WHITE LAKE - Nine months ago, Aaron Ball was resigned to the fact college baseball was not going to be part of his future.
Times have changed … more than once.
"I had thought about college baseball until I was 13, but the idea kind of fell off," said the Lakeland senior. "Playing baseball was not a dream of mine nine months ago, it was just something I liked to do. But then everything fell into place and I fell in love with it again. I grew six inches and it became my passion again."
A right-handed hurler, Ball was throwing 81-82 in early fall and drew interest from Northwood.
"In late September I took a visit there and liked it," explained the 6-2 200-pounder. "It was the best option at the time."
Drew Cavanaugh C / SS / Stoney Creek, MI / 2020
ROCHESTER HILLS - Talk about versatile. That is Drew Cavanaugh.
Not only does the Stoney Creek sophomore play catcher and shortstop, but Cavanaugh has the ability to switch hit.
"At the age of 10 my dad wanted me to be a switch-hitter," reflected Cavanaugh, a left-handed hitter up to that point in time. "I've really developed from the right side. I have very good exit velo there now. Last year it was 80 and now it's 85. My exit velo as a left-hander is 89-90."
It has Cavanaugh drawing college interest, with invites to seven camps over the winter.
"I've been sending emails and calling coaches," the 19th-ranked sophomore in the state said. "I've sent videos and gone to showcases. I went to the PBR Arsenal event at Detroit Country Day a couple weeks ago. It's good exposure to see what Division I players look like."
The 6-0 175-pounder believes he sees one every day in the mirror.
Brian Ross RHP / OF / Saginaw Swan Valley, MI / 2020
SAGINAW - When you are a 6-7 pitcher it is hard to get overlooked. Brian Ross enjoys that notoriety.
"I've always been taller than everyone and I've always been a pitcher," Ross said. "I like that I'm the center of the attention. I'm so used to it now, it's fun to have everybody watching you. It's a fun time out there, I just love it."
The Saginaw Swan Valley sophomore hopes the next step is for colleges to take notice with the recruiting process in the beginning stages for the 6-7 191-pound right-hander.
"I haven't really talked to anyone so far, I've just gone to a couple PBRs," explained Ross, who was named the Most Projectable Arm at the Saginaw Riverdawgs Scout Day back on Feb. 18. "I felt comfortable there and everyone was warm and helpful. I like how they work with my mechanics and the exposure it gives to colleges with the stats to look at. Now I'm looking forward to getting somewhere big."
Keegan Batka RHP / C / Grand Rapids Christian, MI / 2020
GRAND RAPIDS - A three-way player?
That is how Keegan Batka views himself. If nothing else, it gives colleges an option to fill at least one of three positions.
While most of the Grand Rapids Christian sophomore's interest at the next level is as a right-handed pitcher, Batka also excels behind the plate as a catcher as well as in the infield at short or third.
"I'm a three-way player," Batka said. "I'm the number one starter on my high school team, I've had a 1.95 pop time and I can throw it hard across the diamond."
Playing three positions means a strong work ethic to be ready at each when called upon.
Anthony Toma SS / OF / Detroit Country Day, MI / 2019
DETROIT - Playing a sport in college is a given according to Anthony Toma. Which one is not.
The Country Day junior is getting looks in both baseball and football, with an edge - though so slight at the present - toward America's pastime.
"Ever since I was little I've wanted to play a sport in college, I just didn't know which one," explained Toma. "I'm trying to decide football or baseball, but my head is going toward baseball. Basically, having the experience of going to a baseball school I'm surrounded by a lot of big prospects. Working out with them since eighth grade it's hit me, I can be like one of them one day."
A recent visit to Bowling Green went well according to the 5-11 185-pound shortstop who has also been talking to Miami Ohio and San Diego State, where Toma has family.
Werner Blakely SS / 2B / D.E.P.S.A, MI / 2020
DETROIT - With two visits already in the books and more in the planning stages, Werner Blakely hopes to use Saturday's PBR Preseason All-State event to draw even more interest.
"My expectations are to do well, showcase my talent, show what a shortstop can do and try to get big numbers for my exit velo and throwing it across the diamond," explained Blakely, a sophomore at D.E.P.S.A.
After already checking out Michigan and Michigan State, Blakely has plans to schedule visits to Miami (Florida), Alabama and Auburn in the spring.
"Most of them saw me with my travel team Midland," noted the eighth-ranked player in the state's 2020 class. "I also played Perfect Games at Lake Point and I went to Jupiter, Fla. They like my potential, that I have height at 6-3 and my athleticism."
Grant Henson OF / LHP / Orchard Lake St. Marys, MI / 2020
ORCHARD LAKE - Since Grant Henson began elementary school, Orchard Lake St. Mary's has been to the Division 3 football state championship eight times, winning half of those games. It had Henson thinking that college football was in his future.
But times have changed.
"Growing up I dreamt about playing college football," the Orchard Lake St. Mary's sophomore said. "But in the last year or year-and-a-half it's been all baseball. I constantly think about it and how awesome four more years of baseball would be.
"My love for the game is so great. When I started to realize there was a chance to play college baseball it started growing even more. I was better than others on the field and I have a lot more abilities to give in baseball."
Grant Pytel OF / OF / Novi, MI / 2019
NOVI - At the age of six, Grant Pytel fell in love with the game of baseball.
"I love the competition," the Novi junior said. "It was back then I decided I wanted to play baseball when I was older."
That love has not changed, as evident by an unusual desire to get on the field at any time of the day.
"Before last season, before school started, I'd come to the field at 5 a.m. when it was dark outside," Pytel explained. "I didn't care, I just wanted to get on the field and work. I tried to get a couple friends to come with me, but it was mostly by myself.
"I'd put a flashlight toward the tee to be able to see. I found it to be very beneficial. Some people thought I was crazy but I'm just trying reach success. I plan to do it again this year. It's junior year, a very big year."
Dylan Stanton SS / 2B / Gull Lake, MI / 2020
RICHLAND - Two years ago baseball became a priority for Dylan Stanton and it appears to be paying off.
The Gull Lake sophomore has had a visit to Michigan and been to camps at Eastern Michigan, Notre Dame, Central Michigan, Michigan State and Western Michigan in addition to UM. There has also been communication with southern schools.
"I reached out to Clemson and Texas A&M and they sent back camp info while North Carolina and Duke have reached out to me," Stanton noted. "I have aspirations to play D-I baseball down south and give it my all."
The 27th-ranked player in Michigan's 2020 class most recently went to the Western Preseason Preview and things went well.
"It was a good camp," the 6-1 180-pound middle infielder said. "Aaron Wilson (PBR Michigan Director of Scouting) put me out there and I want to thank him. He got my numbers on my profile and last week I was the number-two most viewed uncommitted profile."
Jack Blesch RHP / 3B / Gull Lake, MI / 2020
RICHLAND - At the age of nine, Jack Blesch had the opportunity to visit the Kansas City Royals training facilities in Arizona where a cousin, Nick Leto, is manager of operations.
It was then that the dream of playing major league baseball began for Blesch, now a sophomore at Gull Lake.
The sixth-ranked player in Michigan's 2020 class has been busy attending camps as the first step toward that MLB dream. The right-handed pitcher has gone to Michigan, Northwestern, Indiana, Notre Dame and Central Michigan. Four PBR events have helped spark interest in Blesch, who will be in attendance on Saturday at the Preseason All-Star (Invite Only) Showcase in Madison Heights.
"My goal is the Future Games," noted the 6-1 185-pounder, who also plays corner infield on his high school team.
Alexander Forry RHP / OF / Livonia Franklin, MI / 2020
LIVONIA - A year ago, Alex Forry had no thoughts about playing baseball in college. Then again, the right-handed pitcher was only throwing 78 mph at that time.
Now the Livonia Franklin sophomore has been clocked at 89 at a recent PBR event and has big expectations when it comes to the next level. He even has a list of his top five dream schools which include Michigan, Vanderbilt, Florida Southern, Coastal Carolina and UCLA.
"There wasn't ever a thought of that to go through my mind," Forry said about playing college baseball. "I really was just going to be a student until I realized it was a possibility and that really never hit me until this year. But that wouldn't have happened without strength training and private lessons."
Cameron Mallegg OF / C / Grosse Pointe South, MI / 2020
GROSSE POINTE - Speed is an obvious selling point for Cam Mallegg.
After all, the Grosse Pointe South sophomore has the top 60 time in the state for the 2020 class at 6.67.
But there is something else that stands out about Mallegg. He has the rare combination of positions - catcher and center field.
"Catcher is more rare, that's why I work on it," Mallegg said about his ability to play the two positions, which is intriguing to college scouts. "It can be very valuable on a team. It's fun and helps develop the baseball mind."
But his speed makes center a more realistic position at the next level, with Michigan Mid-American Conference schools Central, Eastern and Western all in contact with the 17th-ranked sophomore in the state.
Cooper Donlin LHP / OF / Canton, MI / 2020
CANTON - As a three-sport athlete, Cooper Donlin has little free time. But the Canton sophomore would not have it any other way.
"It keeps me in shape all year round," Donlin said. "It keeps me competing all year round. I'm always looking for competition."
Donlin sure gets that with a schedule that has little time for a break. Take Saturdays for example. Donlin, who is on the junior varsity basketball team, practices from 8-10 a.m. with the program currently in season. Baseball follows from 2-4 p.m. with football workouts rounding out the day from 6-8 p.m.
"I'm very busy," Donlin understated. "I just love to compete and the kids on my teams are my friends."
Avain Rivera OF / RHP / H.H.Dow, MI / 2020
MIDLAND - A little more than six years ago, Avain Rivera moved from the southeast coast to Michigan. The H.H. Dow sophomore hopes to return to that area some day to play baseball.
"My dream college is North Carolina," Rivera said. "It's where I'm from and it would be a dream to go there. They play really good baseball there."
While Rivera has never been to the UNC campus, the idea of returning to his roots remains in his mind.
"We moved here in 2011," Rivera reflected. "We didn't live in the best area and the schools were not the best. We moved close to my grandparents to help them out. I've enjoyed it here as well, the area is nice, too."
Wilson Wirebaugh RHP / 3B / Holland Christian, MI / 2019
HOLLAND - There have been a number of influences that have helped Wilson Wirebaugh get where he is at in the sport of baseball.
It starts with a father who pitched at Central Michigan and has been an important part of helping his son become a college prospect on the mound.
"My dad (Derek) pitched in college and has really worked with me," the Holland Christian junior said. "I've learned a lot from him. He's really helped me improve, especially on the mental side. That's a big thing with him. When you're struggling, you've got to keep your mind straight and he passed that on to me. That's a big part of pitching. When you're not doing well you can't worry about the last pitch, worry about the next one instead."
Joey Cammarata Jr. SS / RHP / Eisenhower, MI / 2019
SHELBY TOWNSHIP - At 5-9 and 150 pounds, Joey Cammarata Jr. is not going to overwhelm colleges with his size. But there are other traits the Eisenhower High School junior possesses to help make up for any concerns..
"I know my parents aren't the tallest, so it's not in my genes," Cammarata said. "I realize I'm not going to be a 6-2, 250, monster kid. So my philosophy is to try and make up for a lack of height with strength. At 5-9 150, I'm going to hit the ball harder than you. Nobody is going to work harder than me. I try to get my strength to the maximum to make up for it."
After all, being big is not a prerequisite for playing middle infield.
Jordan Wenzel OF / SS / Hudsonville, MI / 2019
HUDSONVILLE - From showcases to camps, Jordan Wenzel is doing his part in getting the needed exposure to find a college home. Where the Hudsonville junior will land is far from determined.
"I've been going to a few camps," Wenzel said. "I went to Grand Valley, Central Michigan and I might do a Western Michigan camp. I've also done some PBRs, two years ago at Diamonds and I did one last year at Eastern Michigan. I'm planning another PBR in a week (Feb. 17) with the my new summer team the Maroons."
The 6-0 170-pound right-handed hitting outfielder has a lot to show college recruiters.
"They definitely like me for my speed and my exit velocity," Wenzel said. "They also like my good grades and good character. I've had a ton of good feedback from colleges planning to see me."
River Shea RHP / SS / Notre Dame Preparatory School, MI / 2019
PONTIAC - River Shea has seen a lot of progress in his game of late, both on the mound and at the plate.
"I've developed other pitches, a slider and change to go along with my fastball," noted the Notre Dame Prep School junior. "I've also found myself as a hitter and now realize I'm very talented with a lot of pop in my bat. For me, it's about trying to stay with my mechanics."
The potential to do both in college remains a possibility for the 42nd-rated player in Michigan's 2019 class.
"I'm seen by a lot as a two-way player," noted Shea, a right-handed pitcher who is projected to play third base at the next level.
Carson Price C / 2B / Hudsonville, MI / 2019
HUDSONVILLE - In sixth grade Carson Price made a decision.
"I played football up until then but baseball has been my only sport since," Price said. "I've had my eyes set on playing college baseball since then. My ultimate goal is Division I, but I'll go anywhere as long as I can contribute to the team."
Reaching that goal is becoming closer for the Hudsonville junior catcher, thanks in part to a PBR showcase.
Chad Stevens RHP / OF / Westland John Glenn, MI / 2019
WESTLAND - Playing sports is a given in the Stevens' family.
While older brother Jared bowls in college, Chad Stevens plays three sports at Westland John Glenn High School. But it is the sport of baseball that has the junior right-hander on the radar of colleges.
"It keeps me in shape for baseball," Stevens said of also playing basketball and football. "Basketball helps for baseball with all the running while football strengthens my arm with all the drills for quarterback and helps make me more athletic."
It is one of the key points the 41st-ranked player in Michigan's 2019 class impresses upon colleges interested in him for baseball.
Bobby Slusher C / SS / Bedford, MI / 2019
Rankings StateRank: 120 / POS: 21 StateRank: 47 / POS: 6
TEMPERANCE - Playing three sports can have a drawback.
"I'm a little behind in my recruiting," admitted Bobby Slusher, a fullback on the football team at Bedford this past fall. "I stopped playing basketball this winter to focus on baseball. I just love the game more than anything else. I like it more and more every year. I really can't see me doing anything else besides baseball."
The 5-11 170-pound catcher has been busy emailing college coaches to let them know.
"Eastern Michigan and Toledo invited me to their showcase but both are on Feb. 11," Slusher said of the first decision he has to make.
Chad Lorkowski RHP / Grosse Pointe North, MI / 2019
GROSSE POINTE - Size has never been a problem for Chad Lorkowski. It has just been a matter of using it.
"Growing up I always thought being bigger was an advantage," the 6-5 225-pounder explained. "I was always the biggest and the best. But in high school kids have caught up and I think it's kind of hurt me. These are kids that have been working hard since they were 12 and trying to get bigger while I didn't go out and work that much and now they've caught up with me.
"So for the last few years I've realized that I need to work at it and that's what I've been doing."
In the process, the Grosse Pointe North junior is working on getting his pitching velocity to match his size.
Scott McGlade 3B / RHP / Father Gabriel Richard, MI / 2019
ANN ARBOR - "Ever since I was little I've known baseball was my passion and that I wanted to pursue it as far it could take me."
Scott McGlade is now looking to take that love for the game to the next level.
"I've been in contact with a few schools around Michigan," the Father Gabriel Richard High School junior said. "I've mainly been talking with Eastern Michigan and coach (Eric) Roof and Western Michigan and coach (Adam) Piotrowicz, the recruiting coordinator."
Exposure to more colleges is in his immediate future.
Camden Benedict SS / RHP / Brighton, MI / 2019
BRIGHTON - It wasn't until age 10 that Camden Benedict took up the game of baseball. It didn't take long to figure out his feelings toward the sport.
"When I was younger I played soccer, I didn't think about baseball," Benedict reflected. "But then I tried out and made a team. I loved it and have been playing it every since."
And playing it quite well.
Now a junior at Brighton, Benedict has taken college visits to Western Michigan and Spring Arbor.
Evan Brunning RHP / 3B / Oxford, MI / 2019
OXFORD - Since his childhood days on the ball diamond, Evan Brunning has looked at baseball as the sport for him at the next level.
But that is not a certainty at this point.
"Baseball has always been my favorite since I was young and a year ago I thought baseball for sure," Brunning said. "But now football is into the mix, so I have to see where that could lead me."
Ironically, the school that has shown interest in his football ability is the same one Brunning is visiting for a baseball camp this week.
Matt Felt SS / 2B / Shelby, MI / 2019
SHELBY - Matt Felt was beginning to wonder if baseball was going to be part of his future.
"For awhile I felt things were not progressing and I didn't understand," Felt said about his college recruiting process. "But now that it's my junior year things have opened up and now it's better than I expected. It's like finally, all the hard work is beginning to pay off. Schools are getting in contact with me and they want to see me."
The Shelby junior has visits coming up to Ball State and Hope and has been in talks with Western Michigan, Grand Valley State and most recently Bowling Green.
Christian Gutierrez SS / C / Detroit Western International, MI / 2019
DETROIT - A great glove can take you far.
Christian Gutierrez is finding that out with college interest at a high level for the Detroit Western International junior shortstop.
"I've talked with 10 schools so far and gone on a couple visits," the 5-9 170-pounder said. "I've been to Michigan and Western Michigan and I'm going to visit Miami in February."
Korbin Griffin OF / LHP / Gull Lake, MI / 2021
RICHLAND - College is more than three years away but it has not stopped Korbin Griffin from thinking about what lies ahead.
It also has schools considering what the Gull Lake High School freshman could bring to their program in the future.
"I've talked with Central Michigan a lot," the 6-3 180-pounder said. "I went to a camp there a month ago to show off my skills."
Upcoming visits to Michigan State and Michigan are planned for the 14th-rated player in Michigan's 2021 class.
Andrew Jacoby RHP / 1B / Central Montcalm, MI / 2019
STANTON - At 6-4 and 200 pounds, right-handed pitcher Andrew Jacoby has a great deal of interest from colleges. It has the 32nd-ranked player in Michigan's 2019 class striving for improvement as the recruiting process heats up.
"I'm going to Elite (training facility) throwing bullpens and doing workouts with a trainer," noted the Central Montcalm junior.
Former minor league players Dan Taylor and Mike Pahl are helping Jacoby with his pitching at the Wyoming facility along with Travis Webb.
"I need to develop a better offspeed pitch to have as a go-to," explained Jacoby. "I'm also working on locating the fastball to be able to pinpoint where I want to throw it."
Nathan Jaworski RHP / 3B / Bloomfield Hills, MI / 2019
BLOOMFIELD HILLS - Nathan Jaworski has a "true passion" for the game.
Colleges are finding that out during what has been a busy fall and winter for the junior from Bloomfield Hills.
"I've been to PBR camps and down south," Jaworski said. "A lot of Division I coaches want to talk to me, D-II as well."
A visit to Central Michigan is planned, while contact continues with Wright State, Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan. Youngstown State and South Dakota State are others that have shown an interest in the right-handed pitcher.
Ben Clark OF / RHP / Dearborn, MI / 2019
DEARBORN - Playing basketball has not prevented Ben Clark from working on his baseball game.
"Three times a week I hit, throw and field ground balls in the outfield at school," the Dearborn junior said. "I also go to John Vickers Xplosive Performance in Southfield to work out."
That is where Clark hopes to improve his speed to help in the outfield.
"I really want to get faster 60 times," the 5-11 180-pounder said. "I'm good on the base paths with reads and jumps, but I want to get my time down to 6.5, 6.7. Right now the best I have done is 6.85.
Colin Sparks C / 3B / Airport, MI / 2019
CARLETON - At the age of four, Colin Sparks became a catcher. Things have not changed since.
Now a junior at Airport Senior High School, Sparks has aspirations of catching into his 20s.
"Since I've been on the field I've wanted to be a catcher," Sparks explained. "My dad (Joe) was a catcher and he brought it on to me. He supplied me with all the gear and has always worked on blocking with me. That's the hardest part of the position. My dad and I work on blocking skills all the time."
Zachary Brunet SS / RHP / Walled Lake Northern, MI / 2019
COMMERCE TOWNSHIP - Zach Brunet's perspective on baseball centers around desire.
"It's the same game for everybody," Brunet said. "The same ball, the same bat. It's whether you want it more."
The Walled Lake Northern junior will use that outlook in the coming months as the recruiting process heats up from potential colleges interested in the 40th-rated player in Michigan's 2019 class.
Jared Ryan C / 3B / Fenton, MI / 2019
FENTON - When your father is one of the owners of The Facility Sports Complex not far from home and your brother plays college baseball, it is understandable that Jared Ryan has a bit of an interest in reaching the next level.
"My dad (Mike) and brother (Mike) have been my two biggest influences," the Fenton junior said. "They've been with me through every swing I've taken helping me get to where I want to go. My dad coached me until last year when I played in the summer with the Indiana Prospects. My brother is a sophomore catcher at Toledo and he's able to tell me all the things he learns at Toledo, what the coaches look for and what is important with different aspects of catching and what I need to focus on."
Billy Kopicki SS / 3B / University Liggett, MI / 2019
GROSSE POINTE WOODS - Confidence, intelligence and a great personality are traits that stand out about Billy Kopicki. Add in the ability to shine on the baseball field and it is no wonder colleges have a strong interest in the University Liggett junior.
"The recruiting process has been exciting and a lot of fun for me," noted Kopicki, who has taken visits thus far to Cincinnati, Miami, Michigan, Boston College and Wayne State, while the 25th-rated player in the state's 2019 class is also talking with Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan.
Robert Cavin C / RHP / Livonia Stevenson, MI / 2019
LIVONIA - As a two-way starting lineman in football, Robert Cavin knows about dirty work. That carries over to the baseball diamond where the Livonia Stevenson junior is a standout catcher.
"I transitioned to catcher at 9U," Cavin noted. "My favorite part is the way you control the game. You see everything that goes on during the game and you do all the dirty work. Leadership is also important."
Antonio Flores 1B / RHP / Brother Rice, MI / 2019
DETROIT - Antonio (Tito) Flores has seen plenty of hard-time living. The Brother Rice junior is hoping baseball gives him an avenue to see more of the other side.
"When I was little I grew up in southwest Detroit," Flores said. "Guys from the neighborhood would play at Clark Park, but a ton of them that wanted to play got caught up in the drama and didn't get to play."
That opened the eyes of Flores.
"My parents have always helped if I need anything and have been there every step of the way," Flores explained. "But I come from a family with not much money. To escape the poverty of Detroit and get a ticket out has always been a dream."
Enter baseball.
Ryan Marra 1B / LHP / Detroit Catholic Central, MI / 2019
DETROIT - At 6-5 and 220 pounds it is hard not to notice Ryan Marra.
Colleges have began to do just that, as the Detroit Catholic Central junior looks ahead to a future in the game of baseball.
Visits have taken place to Toledo and Western Michigan with the 22nd-ranked player in the state's 2019 class planning an upcoming trip east to check out Brown, Columbia, Cornell and Lehigh. Georgetown is another college showing an interest in the left-handed hitting first baseman.
Nick Dardas C / RHP / Bay City Western, MI / 2019
BAY CITY - Nick Dardas has taken a number of college visits in his quest to find the perfect fit for an education and his baseball ability.
More than likely the Bay City Western junior will remain in Michigan, but at what level is not yet known.
"I believe I want to stay within the state," said Dardas, who plans to major in either engineering or business. "I'm not limited to a certain school or locatio, I just want to play where I can contribute to a team that can win. If it's Division I or Division II, that's not as big of a deciding factor for me as it is for some people."
Jon Campbell Jr. SS / OF / Detroit Country Day, MI / 2019
DETROIT - Talk about bringing a lot to the table ... Jon Campbell Jr. sure does that.
The Detroit Country Day junior plays middle infield, is a standout in the outfield and he also pitches. All are possibilities at the next level.
"The biggest thing I bring is I'm versatile," Campbell said. "I can pitch, I play in the field and I have a good bat. I'm working on power, that's one of my weaknesses."
At 6-1 and 178 pounds, there is plenty of room to grow for Michigan's 18th-rated junior.
Nasir Frederick OF / SS / U of D Jesuit, MI / 2019
DETROIT - Nasir Frederick admits to having a little chip on his shoulder.
"I'm only 5-10 and some schools are looking for those 6-0 outfielders," Frederick explained. "They look at me as too short. But measurement doesn't matter. If they see me on the field, I'm a five-tool player that can show an ability kids taller than me don't. It's all about work ethic for me and living up to my dreams."
That aspiration is to make it to the big leagues, starting first in college where interest in the University of Detroit Jesuit junior has reached a high level.
Cameron French 1B / RHP / Portage Northern, MI / 2019
PORTAGE - Cameron French has always excelled as a hitter. Now the Portage Northern junior is adding versatility to his resume as college interest picks up.
Visits to Toledo and Western Michigan have taken place already.
"It's been mostly MAC schools," French said of his recruitment so far. "I've been talking a lot with Western and also Toledo. I'm also looking to talk to Central Florida. I'm going to Florida on spring break and want to stop for a visit with them and also with Florida Atlantic.
Adam Randall RHP / OF / Bay City Western, MI / 2019
AUBURN - A future playing college baseball appears just around the corner for Adam Randall.
It is something the Bay City Western junior has dreamed about for some time.
"When I was 14 I started playing travel ball with D Las Vegas," Randall reflected. "The coach did a great job working with me to have the mindset of being a college prospect. Then the first time I was in Georgia with WWBA I pitched really well against Baseball U out of Miami. That's when a fantasy of playing college baseball turned into the real thing for me."
Luke Russo RHP / SS / Howell, MI / 2019
HOWELL - An improving fastball has Luke Russo on the radar of Division I college baseball coaches.
The Howell High School junior has visited Toledo, watched a practice at Eastern Michigan and has a January trip to Western Michigan scheduled. Talks have also taken place with Central Michigan.
"They saw me at PBR," the 6-3 175-pounder said in reference to the Legacy and Concordia events. "I did pretty good there and colleges sent me emails and said they wanted to talk on the phone. I had nothing before that as far as colleges."
Joe Hardenbergh OF / RHP / Catholic Central, MI / 2019
DETROIT - A broken wrist slowed down the recruitment of Detroit Catholic Central's Joe Hardenbergh. But it also helped the junior outfielder better assess his situation.
"Knowing I can help the team but can't has been difficult, so I tried to cheer the guys up," noted Hardenbergh. "It's also gave me time to evaluate and look at things."
What the 11th-ranked player in Michigan's 2019 class found was a desire to work even harder knowing how important the upcoming season will be.
Tyler Helgeson RHP / SS / Portage Northern, MI / 2019
PORTAGE - Portage Northern is becoming a hotbed for Division I college baseball players. Tyler Helgeson looks to be the next in line.
The junior is currently early in the recruiting stages in a quest to follow the footsteps of a trio of recent Portage Northern graduates. Tommy Henry, a 2016 grad, plays for Michigan while 2015 class members Ben Keizer and Max Schuemann are at Michigan and Eastern Michigan, respectively.
Drew Alsobrooks LHP / OF / Livonia Churchill, MI / 2019
LIVONIA - Despite being a successful quarterback, the same position an older brother plays in college, Drew Alsobrooks has always had his eyes focused on a future in baseball.
Now it is just a matter of finding the perfect fit to play it.
"My ability level as a left-handed pitcher throwing hard is why I like baseball," the Livonia Churchill junior said about his sport of choice (brother Brian Alsobrooks plays football for California University of Pennsylvania). "College football doesn't look at lefties unless they are 6-6 or 6-7. There's a rareness to left-handed pitchers throwing hard, that took me to baseball."
Trey Nordmann RHP / DeWitt, MI / 2019
DEWITT - After missing freshman year due to an injury, Trey Nordmann jumped on the recruiting scene as a sophomore. Now the 9th-ranked player in the state's 2019 class is weighing numerous offers for his baseball pitching talents.
"I was hurt freshman year and shut it down," Nordmann explained. "When I came back sophomore year I did PBR in the winter and popped up on the scene. I got calls from all the D-I schools, that was cool to go through."
It was also when the DeWitt High School standout realized his long-time dream could become a reality.
Keaton Hamilton LHP / OF / Grandville, MI / 2018
GRANDVILLE - The velocity was improving. The same for the command.
Keaton Hamilton's college hopes were getting higher. But then …
"I got hurt playing football," the Grandville senior left-handed pitcher explained. "I fell trying to tackle someone and dislocated my elbow. I was out for three weeks and then I had surgery a week-and-a-half ago. They said I probably had a weak arm from pitching."
Jack Dungan RHP / 3B / Lakeland, MI / 2018
WHITE LAKE - Five months ago Jack Dungan had no thoughts about playing college baseball. The Top Prospect Games changed all that.
Now the Lakeland High School senior has a decision to make.
"I got a great offer from Hillsdale," explained the hard-throwing right-handed pitcher. "It's a good program and a good school academically. I'm a 4.0 student so that is very appealing to me.
"It's the biggest decision of my life. I have to decide by Nov. 15."
Nino Puckett RHP / 1B / De La Salle, MI / 2018
WARREN - The recruiting trail is full speed ahead for Nino Puckett.
The De La Salle senior has a long list of potential college visits ahead as he attempts to make a decision on a commitment "at the end of fall or beginning of winter."
Said Puckett: "I'm hoping to get the right offer where I like the coaching staff and the school and they have my program."
Logan Morrow RHP / 1B / Stevensville-Lakeshore, MI / 2018
STEVENSVILLE - A year ago Logan Morrow was a junior at St. Joseph's High School and committed to playing baseball at Marshall.
Move forward to the present and the 6-5 210-pound right-handed pitcher is a senior at Stevensville-Lakeshore and in search of a college.
"I verbally committed to Marshall in early September of 2016 after a PBR event," Morrow explained. "But then (pitching coach) Josh Newman moved to Penn State and I didn't have the same feeling with the other guy."

Rainer Neeff - "Tango Day On Jupiter"
Rainer Neeff is the guitarist in The Pancakes, a German psychedelic band that some AI readers may be familiar with. When he's not playing with The Pancakes, he likes to create CD's full of warped, lo-fi, deliciously wigged out psychedelic tunes.
Tango Day on Jupiter certainly has a wide range of demented sounds, from the bouncy, 13th Floor Elevators' like garage rock of Aladin Im Weltraum to the surf rock on acid pulse of Agentenfilm to the nice, darkly tripped out mood of Eclypsed on Purple Hills to the early 60's Euro-lounge groove of Spreat Your Angel Wings (the titles aren't spelling errors on my part, by the way, that's how they appear on the album...all just adding to the strangeness of things!). Rainer puts together some truly oddball hybrids, like the tremelo drenched spy music meets experimental psychedelic cartoon humor of Elefanten Tango and the throbbing, avant garde sound collage meets smokey guitar blues of Zeitzonenwechsel. There's even what might be an homage to Pink Floyd with the spacey blues of Dark Side of the Moon. In amidst it all are numerous little sound experiments with titles like Gnom, Space Robot Gnom, and Tango Gnom, which serve to add even more whacked out flavor and freakiness to the proceedings.
It's all great fun, and not to be missed for fans of lo-fi, eccentric psychedelia. Bring along your bong and your sense of humour and enjoy the trip!

Known for his intricate work as a womenswear fashion designer, Lucian Matis launches a fabulous home line, Lucian Matis Home. Most recently featured in the Heart of Fashion Pop-Up Shop at Shops at Don Mills, Lucian's newest venture in home décor brings the runway directly into your home.
Miki Cheung: There are many people who are a huge fan of your work as a fashion designer. What first brought you to launch a home decor line?
Lucian Matis: The Lucian Matis brand managed to gather a large audience where the Lucian Matis or the Matis labels were geared towards specific female markets. By adding a fantastic home décor collection, we could open our markets to both genders regardless of age but maintain the Matis core style edict.
MC: What is your design process and inspiration for your new home decor line? How do your experiences influence your home decor line?
LM: We try to inject as much fashion into the home décor collection. We keep the details, elements of surprise or the use of natural materials as much as possible. Also the intricate beading, the embroidery or the basket weaving are present throughout the collection. I travelled extensively to the Far East and Asia and was overwhelmed by the intricate hand-made artisanal wares. It was very inspiring to me.
MC: What items can consumers expect to find from your Lucian Matis Home?
LM: The launch has been done mainly with soft furnishings such as decorative pillows, throws, storage, poufs, candles and bedding. Watch out in the near future for more creative categories which will enhance our core collection.
MC: How does Lucian Matis Home compare to the work you do for your designer fashion collection for Lucian Matis and your more accessible fashion label, Daphne?
LM: We always keep in mind 3 things: design, value and quality.
MC: Where can our readers find the new Lucian Matis Home line? And, how long will your new home decor line be available for?
LM: The Lucian Matis home décor stores will be open for the month of December. However the collection will be available in select stores across Canada in larger retailers such as design retailers, Homesense and Winners.
MC: You have such great talent as a designer – first, in fashion labels and now in home decor. Where do you see yourself going next?
LM: I would love to expand the business into accessories and possibly creating a perfume down the road would be a dream.

About the BCW
Our Tenets of Faith

BCW Residences
A Faithful God
Bramwell Blyth
Spring 2020, Tenacious
Our calling to BCW was very clear in the way that it happened. What both Natasha and I felt was that it would be a time for equipping for our future ministry that God was calling us to but He had other ideas. BCW was not just equipping us for the ministry; it was a time of deal with our hearts, and a time of blessings and trusting.
We were told in October of 2019 that we could not have children, despite God giving us a name individually before we met, which was the same name of Boaz. The news hit me especially hard as it was due to me that we could not have children. During our time at the college, Gary Heyes, one of our lecturers, shared his testimony of being unable to have children. It affected both of us and yet there was hope in our hearts. That afternoon I laid hands on Natasha's stomach and called Boaz into being. A week later, we found out that she was pregnant. We totally believed that it was going to be a boy and despite some difficulties in the scan of not being able to see the gender, we still believed. We finally found that indeed we were having Boaz, and we knew that he had a calling on his life.
After BCW, we didn't have a place to return to as we had left a cabin we lived in to go and follow God's call. When we were offered an amazing opportunity in Cardiff, we were ready to take it but God had other ideas. He provided a house for us to live in, rent free for a couple of months in Swansea, near where we were called to minister. We kept seeking Him in providing a place in Blaen-Y-maes, where we knew we were called to. Eventually, the council offered us a place that was not in the area but we said no and kept trusting Him. Then again, at what seemed the last moment, He provided us a house in Blaen-Y-Maes and we were able to go into the community. A month later, we started the ministry work.
We knew we were called to that community, and we have held strong to that. We've seen God transform lives, especially of one man who was against us at the beginning. He came to faith and then God called him to set up a Christian Radio Station, BMC Radio. I got involved to support him; and through this, my eldest daughter, whom I haven't seen or spoken to in five years, got in touch after finding the station and listening to a live show I did. We are now chatting regularly, and she sends me music for all the live shows I do.
Boaz was born 9 December 2020 and God moved again within that moment. There was a complication during labor as Natasha had an infection due to her water breaking three days before labor. During labor, both mother and son were affected. Natasha went into a seizure and Boaz's heartbeat was 'lost' for 20 minutes. The doctors could not find Boaz's heartbeat and the crash team had to be called in. However, by the power of prayer in that room, Boaz was resurrected in the womb and was delivered safely without further complications. Natasha also came back to us from the seizures after half an hour. It was an amazing moment of spiritual warfare and God's promise coming through again.
These experiences have taught us to stand on the promises of God, to keep trusting Him and be obedient to His call. Since BCW, we seem to be on a journey of going further into that level of obedience; and it is a daily reminder to die to self, less of me and more of Him. It's not easy as a human but all things are possible 'through Christ who strengthens me' (Phil 4:13).

About BCW


Jesus made it very clear that children were important to Him. At North Catawba children are important to us too. Our Children's Ministry encompasses children from birth to the end of elementary school.
On Sunday mornings we have classes for children that help them learn the truths of God's Word through age appropriate material. During our Sunday morning service we have a time specially set aside just for the children to come forward and have a time of learning with the Pastor called the Children's Sermon. Following the Children's Sermon, kids in grades K-5 have the option to attend Kid Connect, our child focused "children's church". In Kid Connect kids learn a Bible story, play games and do a craft project. Parents pick their children up on the third floor of the education building following the morning service.
Our Children also have great times of fellowship. Whether it is at an event like the Fall Festival or a trip just for them, the children at North Catawba have a great time together.

Johan Rammelman
Netscher, Caspar
Heildelberg or Praga, 1635 - The Hague, 1684
Ca. 1679. Oil on canvas. Not on display
These two paintings (P7607 and P7608) were first shown in Amsterdam in 1858. On that occasion the sitters were identified as Lambert Witsen and his wife Sara Nuyts owing to the woman`s purported similarity to the portrait of the latter (Amsterdam Historisch Museum, inv. SA 989) dated 1684 and included thus by Jan de Baen (1633-1702) in his work, Portrait of the Regents of the Spinhuis in Amsterdam.
Moes (1897-1905) maintains this identification, although in 1900 the alleged portrait of Lambert Witsen was exhibited at The Hague as a portrait of Gillis de Wildts. In 1893 both works underwent cleaning which revealed the coat of arms in the upper part of the male portrait, enabling Van Krestchmar (1985) to correctly identify the sitters as Johan Rammelman and his wife Alida Lange (1651-1694). Even so, Van Haeften returns to the original identification with which they entered the Museum and with which they have been classified in the catalogue until now.
Johan Rammelman was the son of the wine merchant Hendrick Rammelman, who came to be mayor of Rotterdam. After being expelled from Leiden University for misconduct in 1661, he joined the navy as an officer in the service of the House of Orange, becoming a colonel in 1680. He married Alida de Lange in 1672.
Both portraits belong to the type established by Netscher after settling permanently in The Hague in 1662, in which he successfully combined the decorative trends of French portraiture of the day, the technique of the so-called fijnschilders or fine painters of the Leiden school, and the small format of the portraits executed by his master Gerard ter Borch (1617-1681), which was better suited to the homes of the Dutch haute bourgeoisie than the large formats commonly employed by Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641) and his followers as well as by the French painters in vogue in Holland at the time.
Johan Rammelman is shown three-quarter length, gazing at the viewer and, as is typical in Netscher`s portraits, richly attired. Here he wears black armour, a lace cravat and a large blue silk bow. On his right, on a rock covered in an orange mantle -a reference to his military career in the House of Orange- is a helmet adorned with a large plume. He rests his left hand on his hip, while the right points elegantly to the battle scene with the fortress in flames that unfolds in the background, probably an allusion to the battle of Chatham (1667), in which Rammelman took part. The armour depicted is repeated in various of the painter`s portraits, including the Portrait of a Young Man in Armour, dated in 16[7]9 (Wiesemann 2002, no. 181) and Portrait of Ludwig Markgraf von Brandenburg, dated by Wiesemann to around 1682 (Berlin, Staatliche Schlösser und Gärten, Jagdschloss Grunewald), which also features the same helmet (Posada Kubissa, T.: Pintura holandesa en el Museo Nacional del Prado. Catálogo razonado, 2009, p. 307).

In our modern society, it almost seems that ACL knee surgery is a rite of passage for many athletes. It seems like many professional athletes that serve as role models have had an ACL repair. Yet is the surgery all that effective? Research in the past has questioned whether getting the ACL repaired was any better than physical therapy. Now a new study continues to question ACL surgery effectiveness.
The ACL is a major stabilizer of front-back motion in the knee. It can be torn when the knee is traumatized and these tears are very common in women's sports like soccer or men's sports like tackle football. There are about 200,000 ACL surgeries annually in the U.S.
In the past, several studies have questioned whether getting an ACL surgery is helpful. When the surgeries are performed, a startling 29% of patients retear that or the other ACL within the first 24 months. Muscle atrophy is also very common after one of the most common types of ACL surgeries (hamstrings graft). In addition, 2/3'rds of teens who get ACL surgery have arthritis by the time they're 30.
The new study looked at 100 patients who had ACL surgery versus and 43 patients who opted not to pursue surgery. The patients who opted for surgery were younger and more active (participated in more competitive sports) than the non-surgical group. Despite these differences, the non-surgically treated group was more able to get back to recreational sports in the first year. After two years, 30% of both patients with and without surgery had lost strength in the leg and 20% reported that they never got back to their pre-injury level of sports. The bottom line, there were few meaningful differences between these two groups over the first few years.
The upshot? The new research continues to support that getting an ACL surgery is not something that guarantees any kind of higher or better function for the knee. In addition, there's a host of reasons as stated above not to get the surgery. In the end, we do not frequently recommend ACL surgeries to the vast majority of our patients, opting instead to use newer autologous biologic injections to heal the ACL.

I think sometimes we need the arrival of visitors to take a good look at the beautiful and historical sites around us. We dream of seeing the Tower of London, the Louvre, or the Colosseum, neglecting the interesting views at hand. I feel sometimes I'm like an old cart horse wearing blinkers to obscure the distractions he passes.
I was lucky to have my friends Elaine and Isabel visit me this past week. I saw many sites close to where I live that were as new to me as they were to them. We began with a weekend trip to the top of the Island to take the ferry to Alert Bay on Cormorant Island. There we absorbed a lot of history, saw lovely Kwakwaka'wakw art, and spent time with friendly people and gorgeous scenery, topped off with a service at a 19th century church.
Then we headed to the southern end of the Island to Victoria. We absorbed more history at the Royal BC Museum, got sore legs climbing the stairs of the Craigdarrach Castle, and had a wonderful day at the world renowned Butchart Gardens.
I think I learned a lesson about looking around me a little more closely rather than just dreaming about faraway places. I once spent a year living an hour's drive from Niagara Falls and never made it there. I kept saying to myself I'll go next week, or next month. Then suddenly it's too late—I'd missed it. Do you visit the historical sites in your neighbourhood, and stop and enjoy the surroundings from your own back door? I think I've decided it's time, like an old retired horse, to take off my blinkers and enjoy the view.


In Kerala, around 60% of the total meat consumed is beef. Not just Muslims and Christians, many Hindus are also fond of dishes made of the red meat.
The Union government's new notification banning the sale of cows and buffaloes for slaughter is a "fascist and anti-federal move" and the Centre can't prepare a menu for the people of the country, Kerala's Left government said on Friday.
"We will not allow the (central) government to enforce fascist policies of the RSS and other fringe outfits. Let it issue many such notifications, we will not follow them," said Kerala's agriculture minister VS Sunil Kumar.
The Kerala Chief Minister's Office also criticised the slaughter ban, saying "Cattle slaughter becomes illegal at a time when manslaughter happens in the name of cow".
In a series of tweets, it said, the new regulation "will rob lakhs of jobs, cripple leather industry".
It called the notification an "attack on our poor, dalits & farmers".
The CMO said food consumption of millions of people will be affected by the "clear attack on our plurality, the essence of India".
The Congress also criticised the Union government's latest notification.
"It is against the Constitution of the country and infringes upon the right of citizens," said MM Hassan, acting president of the state Congress.
He said the timing of the notification makes it more intriguing, as the Muslim holy month of Ramzan was scheduled to begin on Friday.
A raid by Delhi Police at the Kerala House kitchen in the national capital a couple of years ago had triggered outrage in the state. Many student organisations had conducted 'beef festivals' in protest against the police action.
People in many states in the north-east also eat beef.
"It is a very bad decision. We don't agree to it and won't implement it," said Mizoram's animal husbandry minister C Ngunlianchunga.
The environment ministry this week notified a regulation under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 prohibiting sale of cattle through animal markets across the country. Regulating animal trade is a state business but animal welfare is a central subject, thereby providing the window for the ministry to notify the rule.

We're thinking of booking a holiday at Roda Golf in April. I'm thinking the pool water might still be a bit cold. There is mention of a heated pool to use but can't seem to find any pictures or any mention of it in reviews. Has any one used the heated pool? I presume it might be indoors - maybe at the spa? We have 4 year old twins and would like to take them swimming each day. Any info would be great!
Kate H задал(а) вопрос окт. 2018 г.
I notice in the pics there are no sun beds around the pools. We are staying here next year and have booked through an online travel company. We are staying in a two bed townhouse and I don't know what furniture comes with this. Can we rent sunbeds from anywhere/are there any around the pools for general use? Thank you in advance.
Garvygar задал(а) вопрос окт. 2018 г.
Paul is right - the clubhouse at Roda closes quite early and then there is no nightlife. We went on the Saturday night to central Los Alcazares (a 10 minute taxi) - quite a quiet town compared to other areas in Spain but still enough going on at the weekend. We finished the night in Bariloche. It is a few streets back from the beach and think only gets going later at night, but all the other bars and restaurants were in walking distance of that area. Enjoy your trip!
Kate H задал(а) вопрос авг. 2018 г.
Can anyone advise how much a taxi would cost roughly from this resort to the beach and the bars restaurants? Thank you.

When you select your breast implants for your breast augmentation surgery, you will choose not only their size and material but also their shape, texture, and profile. These characteristics are also very significant in how they will affect your surgery results. To achieve the look that you are seeking, consider the following when choosing your breast implant profile.
The profile is the projection style of the implant as it relates to the volume and width of the implant. There is some variability in the terminology, but in general, implants come in a low, moderate, high, or ultra-high profile. The highest profile implant will have the greatest forward projection with the smallest width at the base of the implant. Conversely, the lowest profile implant will have the least forward projection and with the greatest width at the base.
Why Does Implant Profile Matter?
The profile of your implants will affect your overall results in many ways. Do you want your breasts to have more projection—bolder and with more cleavage—or do you desire a subtle, understated look? Or do you desire something in between? These preferences will affect the implant profile you should choose, as different profiles will give different results.
The most appropriate implant profile for you should take into consideration your preferences with your anatomic realities. The following factors should be taken into account when choosing your implant profile.
The width of the chest wall can vary significantly from woman to woman and should be considered when selecting your implant profile. Women with wide chest walls typically need broader implants to give them a more natural look and, therefore, should consider more of the lower profile implants. Higher profile implants may result in too much space between the breasts and combined with greater projection, could create unnatural results. On the other end of the spectrum, women with narrow chest walls who are considering lower profile implants could either create an undesirably wide appearance and/or have very limited projection leading to very disappointing results.
The natural placement of the breasts on the chest wall plays a key role in how implants of different profiles will look. If the breasts are naturally wide set, lower profile implants may be recommended to keep a balanced and natural appearance. If high profile implants were to be selected instead, the breasts might look as though they were unnaturally "stuck onto" the chest. If the breasts are close together, higher profile implants may be recommended, as lower profile ones could lead either to the breasts appearing too wide or having far too little increased anterior projection.
It is important to consider the amount of natural breast tissue you have when choosing your implant profile. When there is little natural breast tissue, implants with greater projection may better help them obtain the overall size and cleavage desired, whereas if there already is a lot of breast tissue present, these same implants can create overprojection and exaggerated shapes.
The shape and size of the implants should be properly determined along with the implant profile. Just because prominent implants could be large or ultra-high profile does not mean they should be both. For instance, if a woman desires a voluptuous appearance with more cleavage, one might assume that her implants should be a large size and an ultra-high profile. However, depending on her other anatomic realities, large or even not very large implants of even a moderate profile could create her desired results.
When you go in for your breast augmentation consultation, it would be very helpful to have relatively specific goals in mind. Share with Dr. Turkeltaub your desires concerning the size, projection, shape, cleavage, feel, proportions, and overall appearance of your breasts. Choosing the best implant profile for you will be a delicate balance considering these preferences and your body. Dr. Turkeltaub will help you come to the best decision based on your goals and body type.
To learn more about breast implant profiles and other implant characteristics, schedule your consultation with Dr. Steven H. Turkeltaub, our board-certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Turkeltaub is an experienced breast surgeon and will conduct a comprehensive evaluation so that all factors can be considered together. He can help you choose the ideal breast implant type to create the image and body shape you desire.

San Jose Earthquakes open 2016 MLS preseason with much needed roster depth
Though not everyone has joined the Quakes for the start of preseason

The San Jose Earthquakes opened their preseason camp under sunny blue skies at their training field adjacent to Avaya Stadium. A break in the El Nino-fueled storms that have rolled into the Northern California for most of January is allowing the team to get in full sessions in week one of a six-week preseason before the Quakes MLS season opener on March 6.
In a wide-ranging interview with Center Line Soccer last week, head coach Dominic Kinnear detailed the strategy for building the Earthquakes roster ahead of the 2016 campaign. He now has had a few days to see the players on the field and, because of some injuries and absences, remains cautious about how the perceived depth of the roster will help his team to start the season.
"I think we've improved all three lines," said Kinnear after the team's Media Day training session. "A forward, a midfielder, a defender, and a goalkeeper in the draft. Adding guys who know MLS as well as guys with experience was good for us. These players are going to make us better."
Forward Chad Barrett, midfielder Simon Dawkins, defender Andres Imperiale, and goalkeeper Andrew Tarbell were all added to the roster, with both Barrett and Tarbell among the players on the training pitch Tuesday.
"But we're only deeper in theory. We've got guys missing right now, so that tests you right away. Guys important to the team that are not participating everyday show that you are not as deep as you thought you were."
The two international signings Dawkins and Imperiale have yet to arrive in San Jose, primarily due to the process of securing their work visas and International Transfer Certificates. Kinnear remains cautiously optimistic that both can join the team prior to the Earthquakes first trip of the preseason next week to Arizona.
"Hopefully we will have them by the weekend, and I say that with fingers crossed," said Kinnear. "It's totally out of our control, but we're hoping to have them here so when we get on the plane for Arizona, they are with us."
Goalkeeper David Bingham, currently training with the U.S. men's national team in Southern California through the beginning of February, will likely rejoin the Earthquakes upon their return from Arizona on February 10. Kinnear is also without the services of four players that are on the comeback trails from injuries: Fatai Alashe, Marc Pelosi, Innocent, and Jordan Stewart.
"If at the end of preseason, they are still in question, then yes. If you look at the names on paper, I think we are a deeper team, but the day-to-day is what you want to answer positively."
The injury report does not extend past those four players, and all of them are expected back into training before the end of preseason. The biggest name on the list, forward Innocent, suffered a season-ending injury last May and is still not at 100%.
"He's okay, but he's still far away," said Kinnear. "He's staying out of the real contact stuff, so we are trying to bring him along slowly and make sure that when he is ready to go, and if a tackle comes, he can handle it without thinking twice about it."
On Tuesday, Innocent participated fully in non-contact scrimmaging drills, but he was held out of a more physical activity later in the session. At the tail end of last season, he did start to work with the team again, foreshadowing a possible return to the field before the close of the Quakes season. However, he did not progress as hoped, and 2016 became the new target for his return to action.
"There was a little bit of a setback," said Kinnear. "He was training one day and had a little bit of pain, and we realized we were chasing something that was not a good idea. So we decided to wait and get him going for next year."
Stewart, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury last summer, has worked diligently since then to get back into the team. He had his contract option declined to start the off-season, but was re-signed by the club earlier this month. All the while, Stewart did not let his physical shape decline, and he was out on the training field Tuesday, separate from the other players, kicking the ball around like there was nothing wrong with him.
"He's still a little bit away," said Kinnear, who told Center Line Soccer last week that he is hopeful to have Stewart back into full training in a couple of weeks. "I'll give the guy a ton of credit for his work in the gym and what he's done. He's in great shape still, and he's given himself a great chance to come back in a good way rather than having to work himself back in."
For both Alashe and Pelosi, who had to withdraw from the U.S. men's national team camp that Bingham is a part of even before it began, their paths to recover are similar, though the timelines are slightly different. Alashe underwent hernia surgery a week ago and could return in "about a month," according to Kinnear. Pelosi, who is suffering from tendinitis, has a much brighter path back to training.
"Arizona is what we're looking at," said Kinnear. "Today is his first day out on the field, and by Arizona I expect he will be wearing soccer cleats and touching the ball."
The Earthquakes play their first preseason game on Wednesday against the club's Academy team as part of an exclusive season ticket holder event. During the trip to Arizona, the Quakes are scheduled to play three matches, one against the New England Revolution, before returning to the Bay Area. Preseason friendlies against LA Galaxy, Sacramento Republic FC, and the New York Cosmos round out their preseason slate of games. San Jose kicks off its 2016 MLS regular season against the Colorado Rapids at Avaya Stadium on March 6.
Training Camp Notebook
Last week, Kinnear stated that forward Steven Lenhart, a fan-favorite and originator of the "Goonies Never Say Die" slogan in 2012, had likely played his last game for the Earthquakes. Limited to a handful of appearances in 2014 and none in 2015 due to a knee injury, Lenhart was going to get evaluated by the Quakes training staff to start the preseason. On Tuesday, Kinnear reiterated his comments from the week before, saying "It's looking pretty bleak for Steven, to be honest."
There were no new updates on the status of midfielder Leandro Barrera, who reportedly has signed to play with a club in his native Argentina. Kinnear stated last week that Barrera's time with San Jose was likely through, though the mechanism of his departure had not been determined.
Every year, to start preseason camp, the Earthquakes hold a number of physical tests, including the infamous "beep test" running drill. In past years, it was often a rookie that won the test, including JJ Koval two years ago -- and bucking the trend, last year too. With a chuckle, Kinnear announced that the 2016 winner was MLS SuperDraft third round selection Kip Colvey. Bragging rights go to the potential rookie -- he is not yet under contract -- something the team's veterans will be pleased to afford him.
As part of an off-season renovation to the Earthquakes training facility, a completely new grass surface was installed throughout the entire 85 by 140 yard facility. Lush and green -- and benefitting from the wet winter thus far -- the surface was immaculate and was given a thumbs up by players as they left the field at the end of training. When the facility was built back in 2010, it was announced that the total investment in the project was over $1 million.
