Baseball – Countdown 2020: Top Shortstops at the Shore

The 2020 spring sports season in New Jersey has officially been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which means the top athletes in the state won't have a chance to show off their skills and compete for their schools at all this spring. Amateur sports is a big part of the culture in Monmouth and Ocean Counties and the current shutdown of competition represents a major change for the athletes who compete, the coaches who coach them and the people who follow them on a day-to-day basis.
Baseball is particularly big at the Shore and the 2020 season would have featured some big-time talent to boot. There will be no 2020 All-Shore team to recognize the top players, but we at Shore Sports Network want to take a tour through the conference to recognize the very best players at each position on the field. With that being said, SSN Baseball Editor Matt Manley has compiled lists of the top players at each position on the field with some input from coaches in the area. The goal is to recognize the players who have been the best during their careers and had some momentum coming into this year as well. There are also plenty of players who would have been debuting at the varsity level this season but this feature is designed for the players who have already established track records.
We will start our countdown with, arguably, the most important position on the infield and certainly the most glamorous: shortstop. This year's crop of shortstops was unique because so many of the top players at the position within the Shore were moving off of other positions - most commonly third base. Six of the top 10 players at the position (according to this list) played primarily at other positions last year and their teams were planning to ask them to take on the challenge of shortstop. It's also a senior-heavy list but there is one very noteworthy underclassman in the group.
Let's get on with the countdown, starting with No. 10.
10. Christian Bauman, Sr., SS, Shore
Season AB H 2B 3B HR R RBI AVG OBP SLUG SB
2019 (Jr.) 62 17 4 0 2 10 16 .274 .384 .435 3
2018 (So.) 73 27 5 3 0 20 16 .370 .387 .520 5
Bauman hit his way into the lineup as a sophomore and found a home in the outfield in the process. With Shore needing help in the infield this season, the senior was working to start at shortstop – his natural position – in his last high-school year. Bauman was Shore's RBI leader as a junior, but it was his sophomore year in which he had his best statistical output. Bauman is signed to continue his career at Delaware Valley University.
Coach's Insight: "He impressed me when I first saw him as an eighth grader with his attitude and versatility. The first thing he said at the beginning of sophomore year was 'Where can I play?' He was definitely a good enough hitter to start for us and it was just a matter of finding him a spot and the outfield was where he had the best opportunity. We always knew he was naturally a shortstop and we had some struggles on the infield defensively and we told him to be ready to make the move there for this year." – Jay Kuhlthau, Shore head coach
9. Maximus Rivas, Sr., SS, Toms River South
2019 (Jr.) 62 21 2 0 0 11 7 .339 .468 .371 3
Rivas elevated to starting shortstop as a sophomore and moved to second base last year to accommodate Jordan Erbe at short. Now committed to Stetson University, Rivas was poised to move back to shortstop as a senior and continue to build on the progress he made as a hitter over his first two varsity seasons. Rivas would have been a spark at the top of the Indians order but his glove – one of the best among Shore shortstops – is what secures him a spot in the top 10.
Coach's Insight: "Max is a great contact hitter, a great middle infielder. He accepted the move to second base last year and we were looking forward to him having a great senior year as our starting shortstop. He is one of the better infielders in the Shore. He is not a home run hitter, but he is going to play in college at Stetson, which we're happy about. At that level, they are looking for good defensive shortstop and a guy who hits for contact. He's got the four tools you need to play at next level, he's got a good attitude and that will make him a good fit in college." – Ken Frank, Toms River South coach
8. Jason Arnott, Sr., SS, CBA
In his first season as a varsity starter, Arnott was a steady on-base threat mostly hitting out of the No. 2 spot in CBA's batting order. His varsity break came at second base and he was one of the Shore's best at the keystone on the defensive side. His athleticism and fielding prowess would likely have translated nicely to shortstop, where CBA was looking to replace All-Shore infielder and Bryant freshman Tommy DiTullio.
Coach's Insight: "He has gotten a lot stronger and I think we were going to see him hit for more power. He had a chance to be a really dangerous hitter. He was a singles and doubles guy last year and I think with the extra strength, Jason would have driven the ball more. I don't think we would have fallen off much at shortstop with Arnott there and I think Tommy DiTullio was the best shortstop in the Shore Conference and one of the best in the state defensively. I actually think Arnott might be a little more athletic so I think he is more than ready to play shortstop and play it really well." – Marty Kenney Jr., CBA head coach
7. Will Hopkinson, Sr., SS, Manasquan
2018 (So.) 63 19 2 1 0 11 3 .302 .389 .365 6
2017 (Fr.) 53 9 2 0 0 11 5 .170 .208 .279 6
In the middle of the 2017 season, Hopkinson played his way into the starting lineup and ended up the starting shortstop of a Group II state championship team as a freshman. He proved his worth as a sure-handed young shortstop and over the past two seasons, his bat has become a bigger part of his game. After crossing the .300 barrier as a sophomore, Hopkinson smoked eight extra-base hits as a junior, including four triples – tied for the second most in the conference behind former teammate James Harmstead.
Coach's Insight: "It's like having a coach out there. If someone is not working hard, Will would have sent them home. You could see the guys were ready to go on the first day of practice and Will deserves a lot of credit for that. All the coaches, we were so impressed with the effort and energy out there. Defensively, if the ball is hit to him, it's an out. He's one of the best defensive shortstops around." – Brenan Gordon, Manasquan head coach
6. Andrew Schmid, Jr., SS, Rumson-Fair Haven
2018 (Fr.) 65 16 2 1 0 14 8 .292 .370 .354 8
After holding his own as a starting second baseman during his freshman season, Schmid took a sizable step forward during his sophomore year in 2019. He was fifth among returning shortstops in both batting average and slugging percentage last year and while he is only a junior, he has assumed a leadership role on a team that was set to bring back only one senior starter.
Coach's Insight: "He wants to be best guy on the field. He takes shortstop very seriously. I teach in Keyport, so I sometimes get to practices five-to-ten minutes after they start and he wanted the full practice schedule to run the infield before I got there. He wants that leadership role." – Owen Stewart, Rumson-Fair Haven head coach
5. Rocco Richard, Sr., SS, Neptune
2019 (Jr.) 63 21 10 1 0 11 16 .333 .432 .524 3
2018 (So.) 59 10 0 0 0 3 6 .169 .246 .169 1
2017 (Fr.) 48 8 0 0 0 3 3 .167 .245 .167 2
It has been an eventful four-year stretch for the Neptune program and Richard has been there for each season. He was a part-time contributor as a freshman on a team that came up a run short of a Central Jersey Group III championship, struggled in his first full-time starting role for a three-win Scarlet Fliers team in 2018, then broke out in a big way as a junior shortstop on a 13-9 Neptune squad. Richard was one of nine players in the Shore Conference to smack 10 or more doubles in 2019 and one of 14 shortstops with a slugging percentage of .500 or better – only four of whom are back in 2020.
Coach's Insight: "Rocco is probably our best baseball player overall. Johnny (Gannon) is our best player just with the way he hits, but Rocco is a smooth fielder, he's rangy, long and athletic. Every year, he's gotten better at everything. Last year the power numbers really went up. He's another kid who could push for All-Shore spot with the way he hits. He gets a little overlooked by coaches in the area and I think he would have shown them this year." – Kevin Frederick, Neptune head coach
4. Nick DiPietrantonio, Sr., SS, Manalapan
2019 (Jr.) 100 31 9 2 3 14 30 .310 .372 .530 2
2018 (So.) 45 9 0 0 0 3 7 .200 .333 .200 0
When the dust settled at the end of the 2019 season, DiPietrantonio was the best offensive player on a 24-win Manalapan team that came excruciatingly close to winning both a Group IV and Shore Conference Tournament championship. He led his team in extra-base hits, home runs, RBI and slugging percentage and that was despite a rough stretch during the middle of the season at the plate following a scorching start. DiPietrantonio, who is heading to play at Princeton next season, finished strong and was ready for a full-time shift to shortstop after playing mostly third base last year.
Coach's Insight: "He has a really good head for the game, he has grown to about 6-4. Early on, we liked the way he was hitting and the way he took a leadership role. Going back to last year, he was extremely hot early, then he hit a stretch where he didn't have as much success. Mentally, he was tweaking some things, got into some bad habits and is snowballed. One of the messages we were giving him was to stay quiet at plate. Once he figured it out, he got back to being himself." – Brian Boyce, Manalapan head coach
3. Chris O'Connor, Sr., SS/3B, Middletown South
O'Connor and DiPietrantonio share a similar profile in that their 2019 stats are very similar on a per-at-bat basis and both were preparing for a move to shortstop after cutting their teeth at the hot corner. O'Connor gets the edge on the list because he has put up those numbers for two seasons now and in a lot of ways, he was even better as a sophomore before the word was out on his ability. He already has a .500 on-base percentage season to his credit and his hit, double and home-run totals have been remarkably consistent.
Coach's Insight: "He has a motor that doesn't stop. He has an enthusiasm to him that's infectious. All he wants to do is compete. He is just a blue-collar, throwback kid who leads by example. He is always excited about playing baseball – he loves to hit, he loves to work." – Chris LeMore, Middletown South head coach
2. Shane Hickey, Sr., SS/RHP, Jackson Liberty
2017 (Fr.) 67 30 5 1 1 18 17 .448 .500 .597 2
Like O'Connor and DiPietrantonio, Hickey was ready to make the move off third base for his senior season. Hickey is a three-year starter for Jackson Liberty and his fourth was set to be his first at shortstop. He entered his senior year with a chance to break a number of Jackson Liberty career records after former teammate David Melfi rewrote the record book during his memorable senior year in 2019. With 2020 wiped out, Hickey finishes just four hits shy of 100 for his career to go with 21 doubles, eight homers and 66 RBI. On the bright side, Hickey does graduate with a clean .400 batting average in 240 career at-bats.
Coach's Insight: "Shane was on pace to break all the career records that Melfi set other than probably the RBI record. What Shane has done past four years is incredible when you talk about the hitter he is, as well as what he gives us defensively and stepping up as one of our top guys on the mound. I know the hitting numbers weren't what he wanted last year, but we put a lot on his plate. The kid has come through time and time again. He has been a fixture in our program for four years and it would have been great to see how he was going to finish off his career." – Jim Rankin, Jackson Liberty head coach
1. Rocko Brzezniak, So., SS, St. John Vianney
It takes a special season for a freshman to land on the All-Shore First Team and that is just what Brzezniak turned in during his first season as a high-school ballplayer. He finished third in the Shore Conference in average (.508) and on-base percentage (.608), second in slugging percentage (.952) and fourth in home runs (seven) during his introduction to high-school baseball in 2019. Even without a 2020 season, the Louisville commit could still have a chance to make a run at the Shore Conference home run record (30), at least if his freshman-year power production is an indication of things to come.
Coach's Insight: "I wouldn't rule him out when it comes to (breaking) records. Most guys don't do what he did as a freshman so he already had a pretty big head start. I expect him to just keep getting better." – Mike Morgan, St. John Vianney head coach
Other Notable Seniors
Sean Turner, Sr., SS/RHP, Mater Dei Prep – As the best offensive player on the 2019 B Central champs, Turner (.393/.443/.540 in 2019) might have been the best all-around player returning in his division considering the impact he also makes at shortstop and on the pitcher's mound.
Alex Alonso, Sr., SS/RHP, Monmouth – Alonso hit only .203 last year but in 90 career at-bats, he has clobbered 10 extra-base hits. He also has a quality glove at shortstop to go with a bat that has proven dangerous in spots over his two seasons as a varsity contributor.
Ryan Cicardo, Sr., SS, Toms River East – Cicardo's junior season goes somewhat unnoticed because of the presence of teammates like Ryan Goodall, Matt Santos and Aidan Meola, but the now-senior gave Toms River East a quality player at the most important position on the infield. He brings speed (12 stolen bases) to the table and was looking to build on a .263 average and five doubles last year.
Phil Antoniotti, Sr., 2B/SS, Toms River North – Heading into his fourth year as a varsity starter, Antoniotti spent his first two years at Point Beach playing second base and shortstop and might have made a similar transition after playing second as a junior for the Mariners.
Ben Porricelli, Sr., SS, Matawan – Matawan was set to be solid up the middle, led by catcher Griffin Falco and centerfielder Jay Kalieta. The Huskies also brought back a strong double-play combination, with Poricelli returning with a steady glove at shortstop and a capable bat near the top of the order.
Lucas Dant, Sr., SS/RHP, Keyport – The Red Raiders were going to be fairly young again this season but Dant was the veteran on the team having been a reliable pitcher and shortstop who has swiped 28 bases over the past two seasons.
Grady Hendrickson, Sr., SS/3B, Henry Hudson – A four-year starter, Hendrickson has been a multi-sport athlete (soccer and basketball) and a leader for the Admirals athletic program and one of the top players in a deep Class of 2020 that had a chance to build on last year's fourth-place finish in B Central.
Bryce O'Rourke, Sr., SS, Pinelands – Headed into his third year as a starter, O'Rourke would have brought some stability and leadership to the infield after playing a mix of second base and shortstop as a junior.
2021 Watch List
Colin Kratzer, So., SS, Colts Neck – Came up big over the course of his freshman year, including a game-winning double in an SCT win over Toms River South. Kratzer is committed to play at Army and will take over at shortstop when high school baseball returns.
Ty Beck, Jr., SS, Jackson Memorial – The consummate team player, Beck looked poised to start at shortstop heading into each of his first three seasons but the Radford commit embraced a more utility role in each of his first two when Jackson Memorial stumbled upon two different senior All-Shore shortstops. This year looked like it would finally be his chance to start from start-to-finish but that will have to wait until 2021.
Sean O'Mara, Jr., SS, Red Bank – After a solid sophomore season that saw him belt his first career homer and tag two-time Shore Pitcher of the Year Trey Dombroski with one of his two doubles, O'Mara was a strong candidate to emerge as an all-division player with a chance to put himself in the All-Shore conversation over the second-half of his high-school career.
Danny Frontera, Jr., SS/RHP, Middletown North – Tommy John surgery wiped out Frontera's sophomore year on the mound and in the field, but he managed to tune up for his junior season by getting some solid work at the plate as a DH in 2019.
Phil Trebour, So., SS, Point Beach – A standout two-way player for a young Point Beach squad, Trebour posted a .290 average with two doubles, two triples, 18 runs, 14 RBI and 10 steals while playing a quality shortstop.
Brett Wehringer, So., SS/RHP, Ranney – A big freshman season included a .375 average, 25 runs scored and 16 stolen bases for Wehringer, who was also the team's No. 2 pitcher. With a major influx of pitching talent at Ranney, he should not have to shoulder as much of the pitching load in 2021.

Clubman Week Commencing 20.04.20
RUGBY FOR ALL IN MACCLESFIELD
The core team game of rugby football has developed in the community, more so, than any other team game, during the past 10 years. Long gone are the days when it was the preserve of grammar school educated boys. The old boys clubs started back in the mid-nineteenth century, but it was another hundred years before community rugby took hold, with the game expanding across the wider social spectrum. The real sea-change, in the development of community rugby, occurred in 1969, when two Huddersfield rugby dads pioneered the formation of mini-rugby. Today its appeal is evident at Macclesfield Rugby Club, with hundreds of boys, girls, mums dads and even granddads enjoying the game.
Billy Robinson and Sam Moss, joined at the hip in the front row since Mini Rugby and 572 1st team performances between them. The pathway in practice.
It's a huge sporting and social family, from boys and girls under the age of six to walking rugby, with no upper age limit. The social benefits are many-fold: keeping fit and healthy, providing a leisure recreation and creating a social facility for communal use.
How does it help our young folk? The Rugby Club provides a careful and structured pathway for young people to have fun, get healthy exercise and learn life skills.
It hasn't happened overnight, our learning has come from the early days in 1971, with now 380 members from 5 to 18 years of age. To make it happen 80 volunteers give their time week in week out, to organise, provide first aid, or just to be on hand to help out.
It's a Kids First coaching philosophy, coaching the whole player. Core skills are developed in games; with the Rugby Union Core Values being part of all rugby at MRUFC (Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship). The young players get to take part in a sport they love, enjoying physical activity with their friends followed by the social interaction (mainly nuggets and chips!) in the Clubhouse afterwards.
The route creates a Player Pathway from U6 to senior rugby; from U13 to U18 (Junior Rugby) players start to link with the senior teams; match day shadowing where three players will "shadow" the 1st XV coaches and help warm up with the first team. Colts (U17/U18) will often train with the senior sides and start to play senior rugby from 17 upwards, 18 for front row positions. This season four colts stepped up to play 1st XV rugby, and several others playing 2nd, 3rd and 4th XV senior rugby.
This careful pathway, that builds strength and fitness along with respect, discipline and sportsmanship, works on all kinds of levels: for health, general wellbeing and as preparation for life-skills; as well as creating the best opportunity for young players to begin to achieve their sporting ambitions. On the latter point it has been vividly evident this season, with at times at least three quarters of the 1st team being made up of ex Macclesfield mini and junior players.
It's from these strong foundations that our community sport grows, both in the highly competitive 1st and 2nd team squads, to the non-less competitive but more social 3rd and 4th team squads. And there's always room for more players/teams returning to play our great game; forty years ago the Club turned out 6 or 7 teams every Saturday. The camaraderie built amongst players, over many years of playing together, and on tours creates a bond that is hard to break and you will see it in abundance at the Club, in many different ways. The latest, this season, has been the formation of 'Walking Rugby'. Inspiring many to start chucking the egg-shaped ball around again, as well as new people coming into the game. They can't wait to get at it again!
The other rugby players, just as eager to get back to Priory Park are the ladies of the Ladies Development squad, champing on their gum-shields. Their story has started, but as yet is in its infancy and deserves a column in its own right – to follow!
Macclesfield U7s – Rugby for all, the start of the pathway
From Clubman
Today Chairman, Stephen Branch announced the outstanding success of the Club's Emergency Appeal. In three weeks over 30,000 was raised from members to ensure that the Club could keep its head above water during the Covid 19 lockdown. His full report appears on the Club's website.
Like plenty of things happening at present there was an unreal feeling driving past Priory Park on Saturday afternoon and seeing the gates locked up, with no rugby taking place.
The Macclesfield players had had such high hopes of promotion, which didn't work out after the RFU's computations. When Clubman spoke to Head Coach Andy Appleyard, whilst he was disappointed, he stated that there were so many positives coming out of the campaign: "New players have emerged, senior players have put their hands up and with our average age being only 23 there is a lot to be optimistic about for next year".
And he's delighted that 95% of the squad has already re-signed which demonstrates how much they love playing for MRUFC.
Virtual 4ths
The social tour of Majorca is, of course, now officially abandoned. Jason Walker who has been the Tour Organiser these last seven years says: "We had 54 players and supporters all paid up to take off on April 23rd and looking forward to a great weekend". Jason already had the tour polo shirts embroidered with the 2020 date, these could become a collector's item now for the tour that never was.
The fourth team has such a warm spirit within their ranks that they are having weekly quiz nights on Fridays via the digital wonders of Zoom. It was started by Rufus Dixon and continued by Louis Smith and next Jeremy Bostock, the format is that the winner each week becomes the Question Master for the next week. Members really were finding they did not really enjoy drinking beer at home alone, but when connected by Zoom it felt much more communal and they happily enjoyed a beer competing in the Virtual Quiz.
This week in honour of the cancelled tour, choir leader John Teal will lead the team singing all the tour songs before the questions. It promises to be a good night. And let's face it, nobody has anywhere else to go.
Emergency Appeal & Update from the Chairman

South Africa: Government proposes a national carrier
By Jeremy Prain Friday, November 04, 2022
In 2017, South Africa's Comprehensive Maritime Transport Policy envisaged the establishment of a national carrier in support of its vision to transform and grow the local maritime transport sector.
This proposal is now one step closer to being realised with the Department of Transport's invitation to interested stakeholders to participate in consultations on a first Draft South African Shipping Company Bill during November 2022. Further details, including deadlines for written submissions and registration for participation in virtual stakeholder events, are available from the South African Government's website here.
The Draft Bill, available from the Department of Transport's website here, provides for the establishment of the South African Shipping Company (SASCO) as a corporate entity, with the State as sole shareholder and the potential to engage in a wide range of commercial shipping activities and services. As might be expected, these include owning and managing a strategic fleet of locally registered vessels; carrying inbound and outbound cargoes as preferred national carrier; and training of seafarers. The Draft Bill also provides for SASCO's engagement in a variety of shipping services, including those relating to cargo handling, containers, tankers, bunkering and coastal shipping.
At this early stage in the process, it remains to be seen what final form the Draft Bill will take after consultation.
The Draft Bill is one of several recent regulatory and legislative developments in South African shipping, which include:
Cabinet's approval of the submission of the Merchant Shipping Bill of 2022 to Parliament for further processing. This was reported in the Statement on the Cabinet Meeting of 19 October 2022, available from the South African Government website here.
Public comment sought on proposed amendments to the Merchant Shipping Act Regulations relating to safety of navigation, dangerous goods, crew accommodation and fishing vessels. Details are available in Marine Information Notice 14-22, available from the South African Maritime Safety Authority's website here.
Parliament's consideration of amendments to the Marine Pollution (Prevention of Pollution from Ships) Act, as mentioned in our newsflash of 3 October 2022 here.
The National Assembly's passing of the Economic Regulation of Transport Bill, as detailed in the Minister of Transport's speech on 3 October 2022, available from the South African Government website here.

This is an unusually difficult time for people to read the tea leaves of the U.S. economy.
On the one hand, large corporations look fairly healthy, and the job market has been strong. On the other, a steep stock market drop, the government shutdown, trade conflicts, and a host of political uncertainties loom large. The good times may at any moment cease to roll.
At the Main Street level, many Americans have been making progress toward their financial goals, but consumer debt -- both short term and long term -- has climbed back to record highs, and a downturn in the economy could quickly downgrade the financial situations of millions of families.
As the investment disclaimers always say, past performance does not guarantee future results. To the degree that the fiscal signs are upbeat, they are also precarious. Yet most Americans have shown what you could call cautious optimism when it comes to their personal financial situations, according to a new survey from Bankrate.com.
Most Americans believe their personal financial situation won't get worse in 2019. Image source: Getty Images.
Among those surveyed, only 12% expect their financial situations will get worse in 2019. That's an encouraging number in one sense, but just how encouraging may depend on how you interpret the outlooks of the 44% who said they expect their personal financial situations will stay the same.
You could easily say those results indicate the 56% of Americans don't think their financial situations will improve in 2019. Of course, the other side of that coin is that 44% of those surveyed said they do expect their financial situations to get better.
Among those who expect their finances to get worse, 49% say it will be political leaders in Washington who are at least partly to blame. Among those who expect things to get better, however, only 10% credited the government as one reason why. Instead, they looked forward to "making more money at work" (52%), "having less debt" (38%) and "making more money from savings and investments" (17%).
Across all of those surveyed, 89% said they have at least one financial goal for this year. About 30% said that paying off debt topped their lists, followed by better budgeting (13%), saving more money for retirement (12%), saving more for emergencies (10%), getting a higher paying job (6%), investing more (5%) and buying a new home (4%).
"Regardless of whether or not one is upbeat on financial prospects for the coming year, the fact is that more Americans need to make savings a priority," said Bankrate.com Senior Economic Analyst Mark Hamrick in a press release. "Too many are living paycheck-to-paycheck, even at a time when the economy has been broadly judged to be doing well."
While the U.S. economy is entirely outside your control, that doesn't mean you're powerless when it comes to influencing your financial health. If you want to be doing better at the end of 2019 than you were at the end of 2018, take steps to make that happen.
That could mean doing as simple as making (and sticking to) a budget, or it could involve something more drastic like cutting expenses by moving somewhere cheaper. It's also possible to improve your financial situation by tackling your debt, seeking a new, better-paying job, or adding to your income via a side hustle.
Healthy or unhealthy, your financial situation isn't something that just happens to you. So don't be an optimist or a pessimist about it -- be an activist, and do what you can do to improve your future.

I was born in Belgium, in 1899. Longlier, my birthplace, is located in a high point of the Belgian Ardennes, atop the rising spur of an eroded remnant of the foot of the Alps, next to a deep valley. In the Middle Ages, it had been a fortified place, of the Francs and Carolegian dynasties. Pepin le Bref, crowned King of the Francs in 751 spent in Longlier two winters, from October to Easter, in the years 750 and 763. His son Charlemagne who by then had become Emperor of the Occident called a High Court of Justice of the Empire to meet in Longlier: the diploma, still preserved, was signed by him there in 771. In the year 1050, the Charlemagne Villa became a Monastery, and renamed later "Ferme Charlemagne". In the 17th-18th century, it was adorned with a high sloping roof "à la mansarde", whereas the round towers, standing high at the wall corners, matched the roof with elegant, bell-shaped tops, a situation which remained unchanged until 1914.
The landscape of the Longlier region is covered with remnants of the primeval forest of oak trees, progressively invaded by evergreens. The bluegreen color of the pines, which blends with the blue-grey color of the massif of slate rocks emerging through a meager soil gives the countryside an aspect, severe, but also of serene beauty, and even more, when the pure coat of the snow covers it during the long and cold winters.
The population was sparse, at least at the time I was a boy. Our agglomeration was made of scattered small farms, regrouped into hamlets which, with the village, amounted to about 800 inhabitants in all. Rarely, because the people were few, a funeral procession was climbing slowly from the valley, back of our house, and to the old church next to the Charlemagne farm, with the cemetery between them.
The unique school of the Longlier region was built at the outskirt, a kilometer from my home, and about equal distance from the surrounding hamlets, so that the children could leave their home, and reach the school at about the same time. Actually, this school was just a single room with high windows, and a central stove, fed with coal and wood, by the teacher himself. As I remember, there was a set of 5 benches at either side of the stove, with a common sitting board which could accommodate 5 children, in all 50 seats, for an average population, from year to year, of 40 pupils, at the most. The sexes and grades were mixed, and the ages, from 6 to 11 years old. All the courses were taught at the same time, in the same room, by the same and unique teacher. Under this highly pluralistic system, the school was running smoothly, and the results, as remembered over the years, turned out to be, in every respect, excellent.
As usual for the time, the roads were not lighted at night, and no water distribution was available, nor in prospect. Due to the elevation of the site, we had to rely on rainwater, collected from the roofs, and on the clear water, filtering and running from the bare rocks, to the river and the streams below.
In the Ardennes, the washed soil is poor, and the configuration rugged. When the spring and summer came, the heat of the sun brought life and beauty to the land. The farmers, however, rose early and worked late, each on their farm, relatively far apart, without the occasion, or the need, to communicate between themselves. Even more than in the cold of the winter, there was a strange stillness, in the heat of the afternoon.
After supper, and when the daily work was over, we did not light the kerosene lamp, nor the makeshift carbide lamp we used, when the war came upon us, but sat outdoors, in the silence and the darkness of the night. As many have done before us, since the early rise of mankind, I reclined on the sloping back of a chair, and gazed intensely, and for hours, at the quivering milky way, and watched the coming of falling stars.
When I became old enough, I took my turn in getting up early, and ringing the church bells (there were two of them) calling for the daily mass, at six o'clock in the morning. The ropes of the bells were hanging freely down the hollow shaft of the church tower, so that we could seize them and pull them from the ground, with the bells seen overhead. When the bells were in full swing, we used to grasp the rope firmly and let ourselves be lifted, just when the hammer hit the roaring bronze. This little familiarity had created an affectionate and reciprocal understanding between us and the Bells. One night, during a heavy storm, we were awakened by a crash. The Pepin le Bref tower, as it was called, which had stood there for many centuries had collapsed, bringing down, with it, the church bells. A few years later, in 1914, the madness of war reached our peaceful shores; the Charlemagne Villa, and part of the village, next to our home, was burnt. I was 15 years old, and starting to become an adult. For us, and for the dying Europe, and the thousands years of its past, it was a new World, and the end of an Era.
My grandfather was born in 1830, just the year the Flemish and French speaking Catholics decided to secede from the Lutheran Dutch people of the low lands, governed by the House of Orange. His place of birth was not Longlier. For a number of generations tracing back to the 17th century, his ancestors had been active in maintaining a Relay, or Stagecoach stop, providing horses, food and lodging for travellers, and wagons for the conveyance of goods. The site of this undertaking was a small plateau, about the locality of Offaing, rising from the opposite side of the Longlier valley, away and higher up from the Charlemagne Villa. From this rather ancient time, I have a witness helping me to imagine and recreate the past. It is a chest of heavy oak with a secret lock, and a slit with a receptacle underneath, in which the hostess, my great-grandmother, would drop the coins she received from the customers, in payment for their expenditure at the inn. This chest, for the past twenty years, has been in my bedroom, next to my bed, supporting a lamp and a clock.
My great-grandfather, Godfroid, born on the heights of Offaing in 1800, or about, had five or six sons, including my grandfather, and a similar number of daughters, most of them promised to live well over ninety. In this healthy, no doubt dynamic, but crowded environment, my grandfather may have felt the pressure of competition, but most likely happened to the most adventurous and most farsighted: he decided to move and settle on his own.
Following the Belgian revolution of 1830 the new nation decided to give itself a King, the choice being Léopold, Prince of Saxe-Cobourg and recent widower of the heir of the throne of England, with the crowning in 1831. Léopold the First was a man of high character and wisdom. It is to his knowledge of the industry of England and to his own initiative that Belgium owed to have had the first railroad lines on the Continent, the first one connecting Bruxelles with Antwerp and its harbor. The next undertaking was much more ambitious. This second line was to be transcontinental, starting from Brussels, through Namur, Luxembourg, Vienna, and further on.
The Longlier valley gap, however, which happened to stand exactly across the projected direction of the new railroad line, would have to be bridged. In addition to this technical difficulty, it was found that the Devonian synclinal, which is the geologic substructure of the region was disturbed by a tectonic anomaly in the form of a narrow band, less than one kilometer in width, which had become deflected in front of the Longlier valley, passing just under the terminal point where the construction of the railroad had stopped. The problems were such that the construction of the line was postponed, for an undetermined length of time. My grandfather saw the opportunity and moved to Longlier. Apparently, he was not without means. Within a relatively short time he built a hotel, next to the freight depot of the railroad terminus. From the commissioned Agency handling the freight traffic for the line, the "Messageries Van Gent", he obtained some agreement whereby he would be responsible for the freight that landed at the Terminal, for its distribution outside the railroad areas. Very soon, he had horses and wagons distributing goods and wares in various directions, as far as the north of France, especially Sedan and Bazeilles, where we had some relatives. His business prospered rapidly, and he became relatively wealthy.
For me, this story of railroads and of a diligent grandfather, which I have recalled, has been more meaningful than the effect of a tectonic anomaly on a Devonian synclinal. Without the decision of my grandfather to move to Longlier, my mother would have been someone else, and there would have been no tales of ringing bells in a medieval church tower, and no ailing uncle to take care of. It was a question of being, or not being. Once the first step taken, what remains to deal with are the important but universal problems of the individual, versus his environment. My mother, Glaudice Watriquant, was 45 years old when I was born, and my father 43. I was the youngest of four, two brothers and one sister, with a gap of 9 years with the oldest. As it happened, most of my early years were spent in the company of old, or very old people, each having their problems and ailments, but never complaining. This created a pervading feeling of tolerance, kindness, and stoic strength which made me happy and feel secure.
For a while, my father worked for my grandfather. As a child eight years old he was already accompanying the driver, not much older than himself, returning by night bringing back fresh vegetables and labile goods from the renowned French market-garden of Fonds-de-Givonne. They took turn to rest, although the traffic was rare at night, especially in the long forest roads; moreover, the horses knew the way and kept on driving even if both drivers fell asleep, as occurred more than once. It was pleasant for youngsters to wake up at the songs of the birds, in a mellow summer night. I would have enjoyed it as they did. My father was gentle, and romantic, in tune with his century. He liked to memorize poetry, from Lamartine, and especially Victor Hugo, whom he admired the most. When he returned from his work and we were very young, we asked him to recite verses to us or sing a lieder, quite well, of the same vein. When he came of age, my father chose to become a baker and pastry maker, perhaps as a complement to the hotel, and for which he spent three years of training in Paris. He was there the year the poet Hugo died. On the Champs Elysées early, he found his way on the top of a gas lamp-post from where he watched pass the funeral procession of hundreds of thousands, for hours. It was in 1885, and my father was 29. It was also his last year of training. His first residence when married, two years later, was in the right wing of the Charlemagne Farm, next to the round tower, and my eldest brother was born there. The second residence, with the bakery and a store, where my second brother and my sister were born, was next to the railroad station. By the time of my birth, my father had taken over a former property of my grandfather, remodeled it and added a large building to serve as a kind of general store. During my time, the local work was already done by hired bakers, my father being away all day, taking care of orders and deliveries.
Two or 3 years after I was born, my mother developed a carcinoma of the breast which appeared shortly after she hurt herself in a fall. She died when I was 7. Too young to go to school, and my elder brothers away in the high school in the town nearby, I was with her most of the time. She suffered, but calmly. I was careful not to make demands on her, and tried to help her when I could. Neighbours and acquaintances came to visit her, sometimes two or three at a time. They didn't pay attention to me; on their way out I followed them to the door, and heard them describe, in their own way, the future course of the disease. I was sad but kept it to myself. Not to leave me alone at home, she took me with her when visiting some healer that had been recommended to her. For one of them, in Marbehan, we had to take the train. Living close to her and partaking of her pain, I felt more and more being as a little nurse at her side. But like the grown-ups of that time, I could not help.
The death of our mother made a big change in the family. After a few years of increasing difficulties (there was a pre-war depression going-on), the decision was made to move to Athus, a prosperous steel mills region bordering both France and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. A couple of years before we left, my eldest brother Léon, student at the high school was sitting, one day, at the kitchen table with a book flat beside him. Cautiously, I approached him and said, pointing the right hand page to him: what is this? I remember that, in order to see the page, I had to stand on the tip of my toes, and stretch my head forward. What I saw was the simple outline of a retord, drawn in a square, marginal indentation of the text. My brother did not turn me but began to explain, molding his words with his hands. I did not remember what he said, and could not understand their technical meaning, but as he was speaking I felt my chest, my heart, and the roots of my soul expand. It was a revelation, never to be forgotten. How beautiful this world within the book. I intensely wished to see and know more. In the innocence of my age, I did not doubt that I could. I was 8 1/2 years old. The kitchen table of our youth followed in Athus, an is now in Brussels, in the kitchen of our home.
My attendance at the Longlier primary school was curtailed more than a year before the moving. When we arrived in Athus, we found ourselves in an essentially German speaking community. In the church, the hymns and prayers were said in German, and German was spoken in the school where I was received. Every day at 4 PM, each pupil in turn had to read aloud a chapter of the bible. The bible in use, and of which I had a copy, was printed in gothic characters of the oldest type. I may have practiced the sound of them at home, orduring the long, idle hours in the school: when my turn came, I succeeded in reading my part aloud without knowing the words. Again, as before in the world of the aged people I had lived in, I was made to observe my environment from without, in an abstract way, as visitors in an aquarium.
After a year or two, I was asked to return to Longlier to help in the care of an uncle who had suffered a major cerebral hemorrhage. His right side was paralyzed and he had lost the use of his speech. He was tall and heavy, and my aunt was in her 60th year, and ailing. Soon, I took over all the care of my uncle, day and night, and later, progressively the responsibility of the management and the routine work of the household. I was about 13 years old, and more duties and problems of other sorts were added when the war came. My only outside contacts then were the frequent visits of the doctor, who came regularly, or when we called for him in case of emergencies. He came driving himself his horse and cab which he used also when making the rounds of his patients in the country. To me, he looked old, but must have been less than 60. He had experience and common sense, and never seemed in a hurry. I reported to him about my uncle, and listened to his comments and advices. Finally, we conversed about other subjects and the news of the day. This familiarity with a respected physician and my appreciation of his work, or the tragedy I experienced with the long, tormented agony and death of my mother might have influenced me in wanting to study medicine. It was not the case. As far as I remember, even younger than eight, I have always been guided by reason. Not cold reason, but that which leads to the truth, to the real, and to sane Justice. When I went to the University, the medical school was the only place where one could hope to find the means to study life, its nature, its origins, and its ills.

Creating a New Project from a Final Draft Script.
In order to create a new project from a Final Draft Script, you have to launch the software and already be inside. Once inside, you have to go to File > New from Final Draft Script. The Import from Final Draft Script dialog box opens. And in order to find a Final Draft Script somewhere on your computer, you need to click the Browse button, which is this little folder icon right here.
A browser window opens which allows you to navigate to the place on your computer where your Final Draft Script is saved. So I'm going to click on this .fdx file and then click Open. So if you've never seen a Final Draft Script before, there are tags that you can apply to the text in order to format the text. So for example, if you tag some of your text "Scene Heading", it'll automatically put that text in all caps and left-justify it. So an example of a scene heading is Exterior Daytime, Miller's Backyard. So what Storyboard Pro does is it takes these tags that are in Final Draft and uses them to separate the various lines of dialog and action into different captions within the panel view of Storyboard Pro as well as to create actions which leads to the creation of panels and scenes within the software.
So let's use scene heading as an example. So I can give it the action of creating a new scene every time it's encountered in Final Draft. And although Storyboard Pro gives you the option to use live action or animation naming conventions in the software, we're using animation. So don't get confused with the terminology between a scene in a film and a scene in an animation. A scene in a film might occur in, let's say, the Millers Living Room, so in an interior house living room. That would be the entire scene if it's shot in the living room in a film. However, in animation, if the Millers, let's say Mr. and Mrs. Miller, are having a conversation in the living room and the camera cuts between their faces, every time the camera cuts, that's a new scene in animation.
So then for the Action tag, what I'm going to do is I'm going to assign it to create a New Panel, because if you remember, a New Panel indicates a New Action every time. And just for example's sake, I'm going to leave out the character and the dialog as "None" for the Action. So in addition to that, you can combine successive elements. And what this means is that if you want to have all the Dialog between Headings, between Scene Headings and Actions combined together, then you can click this checkbox. So I'm going to do that for both the Dialog and the Character. I'm gonna combine successive elements, but I'm going to leave it unchecked for Action and Scene Heading.
The next thing you can do is Include Element Numbers when Available. So once again, if you've never seen a Final Draft Script in both the right and the left margin where there's a new Scene Heading, there's also a number indicated, so Scene 1, 2, 3, etc. So I'm going to include these Element Numbers for the Scene Heading specifically. The next thing you can select for these four tags is the Destination caption field. So this is exporting the text from the script whether it's a line of action text or a dialog into the various caption fields of the panel view.
So let's start with Action at the top. So I'd like the Action text to go into the Action Note section, which is right here. I'd like the Character tag text to go to the Dialog section along with the Dialog. And I'd like the Scene Headings to go into the Action Notes as well. And if for some reason, there's a Caption field missing from the panel view that you would like to add, what you can do is click on the Add Caption Field button and enter that in here and click OK. And then from the dropdown menu, you would have an extra destination caption field.
And lastly, you have the Save as default rules option. So if you know you're going to be importing many Final Draft scripts as a structure for Storyboard, it might be good to check this off so you don't have to repeat everything that I just did. And then what I'm going to do is click Import. And now I'm going to give my new project a name. So let's call it "FinalDraftTest". And I'm going to keep all the other default settings selected and then click Create.
And as you can see here right away, different panels have been grouped into different scenes. On top of that, if you click on specific panels, you can see the Action Notes changed. So the Action text and Scene Headings have been imported properly into the right section. And then if we continue going, we can see that this panel actually has Dialog, and we can see the name of the Character as well as their line of dialog underneath. And once again, I could've also decided to create new panels based on dialog, which I didn't, but you can do that so there's only one line of dialog per panel.
And of course, this is an extremely efficient way to have a Storyboard project set up so that the Storyboard artist can start creating with a basic structure already set in place. And if you're using a version of Final Draft that's lower than Final Draft 8, please refer to the online help in order to see how to create a new project based on a Final Draft Script.


by Honor Your Spirit in Uncategorized Tags: All That Is, Aurora, Colorado, Dark Knight, Denver, faith, movie theatre shooting, questions, why?
In times of tragedy, it seems like all we have are questions, the most prevalent being simply: why?
In Colorado today, we're finding ourselves burdened by that oppressive question as we come to terms with the details of a gunman who opened fire in a crowded movie theatre, killing 12 people and injuring more than 50. As the media dissect the story and as witnesses post to social media platforms, the images and emotions of the late night shooting are making their way outward into the world. And with every news story, every status update and every graphic image shared, the question arises again: why?
Why would someone kill innocent people? Why would this happen to innocent people? Why would the shooter booby trap his apartment knowing law enforcement would find it? Why? Why? Why? Like a song stuck in your head, the question of why is always just under the surface of your consciousness, poking its head up every so often, demanding to be heard and answered.
Faith often provides a framework for the question of "why?" but usually seems to only strengthen its hold on your awareness. For every rationalization and for every small bit of understanding gained, the "why monster" only gets bigger and hungrier. It wants more information, more clarity and more understanding. It doesn't understand that no matter what your religion, your belief system, your view on life, some things in life simply are unanswerable on a level that makes any sense.
I firmly believe that All That Is (or whatever term you use for God) understands events like this and that ultimately there is a reason for them. But right here, right now, I'm locked into an ego-bound consciousness; and, that consciousness simply cannot process such tragedy. The ego interfaces with physical reality and therefore is subject to a limited range—that which it can see and hear and feel. The ego doesn't have direct access to that part of me that's connected with the divine and so it feels shut out and abandoned. What the ego cannot understand, it cannot accept.
So for the time being, I simply must rely on my faith in All That Is. I must trust that tragedies such as this morning's shooting serve another purpose that I'm not yet privy to. I must trust that everyone involved directly with the tragedy is ultimately being led to something bigger and better, even if I can never see it in my lifetime. My own faith in All That Is tells me that my limited ego doesn't need to know the answers. All of the "why's" aren't my concern and that by releasing my need to know why, I'll actually feel more serenity.
To quell the "why? Monster," I find I must turn my attention to the things that do make sense and that feel good. Already we're seeing people come together in prayer for those affected by the shooting. I've witnessed parents hugging their kids and spouses reaffirming their love for one another. Like we had a few weeks ago with the forest fires that ravaged Colorado, there is an outpouring of love and concern for our state.
Narrowing our concentration to love and compassion for others and ourselves helps quiet the "Why? Monster." It's a monster that cannot be defeated during our time on earth so we must learn to work with it, to understand it, and release it when it gets too big.
For now, I hope you'll join me in quiet reflection on those thoughts we can control: love for one another and compassion for those that were affected by the tragedy. Those actions and thoughts we can purposely direct and the intent to do so will be felt by everyone involved.

Ma'Khia Bryant: What we know about the Columbus police shooting of the 16-year-old girl
Details were starting to emerge Tuesday night in the fatal shooting of a teen girl by a police officer on the Southeast Side on Tuesday.
Here is what we know:
Police received a a 911 call at 4:35 p.m. about an attempted stabbing on the 3100 block of Legion Lane, which is located north of Chatterton Road. The caller reported a female was trying to stab them, then the caller hung up.
At 4:45 p.m., police on the scene reported that an officer was involved in a shooting.
The shooting happened about 20 minutes before a guilty verdict was announced in the murder trial of Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd.
Fatal police shootings in Columbus: Here are the names of people killed in recent years
Who was killed?
Police haven't released the name of the person shot, but Franklin County Children's Services said that the girl killed was 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant and that she was in foster care and in the custody of Children's Services.
A woman at the scene identified the girl as her 15-year-old niece.
Hazel Bryant said her niece lived in a foster home there on Legion Lane and got into an altercation with someone else at the home.
Who shot Ma'Khia Bryant?
Officer Nicholas Reardon was identified by the city as the officer who fired on Bryant. He has been a Columbus police officer since December 2019.
Who is investigating?
The state Bureau of Criminal Investigation will handle the investigation into the shooting. BCI now handles all shootings by law enforcement inside the city of Columbus.
Ma'Khia Bryant's death, court records, raise questions about family, system's custody 'No opportunity' to de-escalate: Use-of-force experts say Columbus officer obeyed training in shooting Ma'Khia Bryant Why does this keep happening? Experts discuss why Columbus has so many police shootings 'We are here because injustice is here,' pastor says at Ma'Khia Bryant's funeral Protests, vigil take place across Columbus one day after Ma'Khia Bryant shooting 'I figured it was just a girl fight.' Neighborhood witnesses saw argument before police shot Ma'Khia Bryant Ma'Khia Bryant shooting: Columbus police release 911 calls, ID of officer involved Ma'Khia Bryant: What we know about the Columbus police shooting of the 16-year-old girl
Is there body camera footage?
Yes. A portion of the body camera footage was shown to the media Tuesday night in an unusual decision by the city and police.
The video shows an officer approaching a driveway with a group of young people standing there. In the video, it appears that the 16-year-old, identified now as Ma'Khia Bryant, who was moments later shot by police, pushes or swings at a person who falls to the ground.
Bryant then appears to swing a knife at a girl who is on the hood of a car, and the officer fires his weapon what sounds like four times, striking the girl.
Who called the police?
It's not clear exactly, but the recordings released by the Columbus Division of Police and the city Tuesday showed that the call that led to the police coming was someone reporting that a person was trying to stab them.
In the first call, made at 4:32 p.m., screaming can be heard as the caller asks police to come and says someone is trying to stab them. The police dispatcher tries to get more information and there is screaming before the call is disconnected.
In the second 911 call, someone called but then said that police were already on scene.
Who was protesting at the scene?
Shortly after the shooting, some nearby residents and other protesters gathered at the scene.
Kiara Yakita, founder of the Black Liberation Movement Central Ohio, said she is not surprised that another police shooting happened. "Why did they kill this baby?" she asked aloud.

Slap! Evelyn couldn't help but gave Larry a slap, causing a big red palm mark to appear on his face.
Despite the burning sensation he felt, Larry didn't even make a sound. He knew that this was a matter of pride.
Rachel was shaken to her core when she saw the boy being slapped. She didn't expect to see her gentle daughter act so cruelly.
"Enough, Evelyn, stop hitting him." Shane couldn't stand it as he felt the slap would be painful even for an adult, let alone an eight-year-old kid.
"If you feel bad, you can wait outside." Evelyn glared at him. Now that she had no further use for him, there was no need for her to maintain her act.
Seeing that she was angry, all Shane could do was to remind her, "You should hide Larry someplace difficult to find. Otherwise, if they find him…"
Although his words made sense, Evelyn had other plans in mind.
She instructed Shane to take Larry someplace far away from the nursing home.
That way, they wouldn't be easily found.
"Won't there be a lot of insects here at night?" Shane stared at the spot in front of him which was filled with undergrowth.
There would usually be pythons or other sorts of insects hiding in places such as this.
Shane shuddered just thinking about it. He had been afraid of insects ever since he was a child. As an adult, his fear for them had intensified.
"If you have no guts, you can go home first." Evelyn was speechless as she stared at the cowardly man in front of her.
By now, she had no feelings whatsoever for him. Evelyn was someone who was willing to do anything to achieve her goals. The moment she was done using someone, she would then cast that person aside.
Initially, she had planned to groom Shane further. But after observing his reaction, she dropped the idea entirely.
Nevertheless, Shane still decided to follow Evelyn inside because he was worried about her. Even though she was treating him like dirt, he simply assumed that she was in a bad mood.
Ignoring him, Evelyn headed straight in.
After scanning her surroundings, Evelyn stopped in her tracks. Shane put Larry gently onto the ground and looked around.
He was certain that there would be tons of insects at night.
Evelyn will definitely not be staying here. That means Larry will be…
Shane tried to shake the thoughts out of his head. He chose not to protest any further as he was worried about angering Evelyn again.
"What do you think about the place?" Evelyn was feeling smug about the place she had chosen. Taking a look, Shane saw a tall building in front of him. It wasn't too tall, but it was there in case they needed it.
After scanning his surroundings, he replied with a nod, "It's good."
"It's a waste of time asking for your opinion." Evelyn had wanted to hear him praise her. But all she got was a monosyllabic answer.
Feeling upset, she gave Shane a side-eye before preparing to leave. Shane looked at Evelyn who was walking away before turning his attention to Larry. He then used the rope he had prepared to tie Larry up. All their efforts would be for naught if the boy escaped.
After Evelyn had walked some distance away, he looked sympathetically at Larry whom he had knocked unconscious. When he thought back to how happy Larry was playing with him, he began to have second thoughts.
However, he steeled himself in the end and chose to leave Larry there. With that, he followed Evelyn out of the area.
As of now, Evelyn could no longer stay with Rachel. She was worried that Vivian would find her there in her search for Larry.
Hence, Shane invited her to spend the night at his place and he would sleep on the sofa instead. Having no other choice, Evelyn nodded reluctantly and went with him.
As for Rachel, she was left lying in bed alone in the nursing home.
