Sin duda pesa la emotividad, los vívidos recuerdos, la gente que compartió momentos de tu vida, las bellas palabras leídas que la nombran,... pero creo que, aunque nada de eso hubiera, la Rúa da Raiña seguiría siendo para mí la más entrañable de Santiago. Es una calle que parece quedó a medio hacer, que le faltaron fuerzas, que no pudo superar obstáculos, mientras la del Franco y la del Villar que la enmarcan continuaron haciéndose mayores, creciendo, dejándola atrás.
Pero bien sé que es su nombre el culpable de muchas de mis sensaciones. "Raiña" es la palabra gallega para reina. Y esa terminación, "iña", es propia de diminutivos que evocan lo más entrañable, lo más sentido del hablar gallego. Cuando una madre manifiesta sus sentimientos más hondos, sean de amor, dolor o ternura, a sus labios siempre acudirá ese "iño"/"iña". Ella hablará de "meu fillo" ("mi hijo") en lo habitual, en el día a día, pero si éste vive algo especialmente feliz, o sufre, incluso muere, o algo haga que el amor de madre surja a borbotones, serán "filliño meu" o "meu filliño" los sonidos que saldrán de su boca.
E igual ocurrirá al revés, cuando el hijo vuelca en palabras todos sus sentimientos de amor hacia sus padres: "miña naiciña", "papaiño". Y ese "iño"/"iña", consustancial con el gallego, para nada forzado, convierte la palabra en música de ángeles, en música del alma. Todo eso y mucho más evoca en mí la palabra "raiña" y va a ser por ello por lo que, aunque en este caso no sea diminutivo, me gusta tanto.
Y, ya de paso, es un excelente sitio para llorar alegrías y tristezas, bien sujeta en tu mano una taza de ribeiro o una copa de albariño que humedezcan y aromen las sabrosas tapas que aquí se sirven: un "pulpiño", unas "ameixiñas", unas "xoubiñas", un "laconciño" o unos "pementiños" -siempre más sabrosos que un pulpo, unas almejas, unas sardinas, un lacón o unos pimientos, que sí, de verdad-, que de todo eso y mucho más encuentra el probablemente ya cansado caminante.
Miña nai, miña naiciña,
como a miña nai ningunha,
que me quentou a cariña
co calorciño da súa.
(Canto popular)
I thought I had visited every parish church in East Kent, and seen inside almost all of them too, so my focus is no points north and west.
And then travelling back home from an orchid hunt a few weeks back, I was driving through West Langdon and I saw a dead end lane on the right with the name Church lane.
Now, I amy not be the brightest, but a road called Church Lane probably leads to a church, or did. So, the next week I went hunting.
The lane ends in the yard of a farm, and the small church sits on the left hand side, clinging to the side of a down.
It is a Victorian building, and was not open, nor it seems able to provide details of a keyholder.
I walked round the church, took a few shots of the well-knapped walls.
And left.
Another one for heritage weekend.
The church was built in 1869 to replace the ruinous medieval building.
-------------------------------------------
WEST LANGDON.
THE next parish northward is West Langdon, which takes its name from the long down or ridge of hills on which it is situated; and to distinguish it from the adjoining parish of East Langdon, in the hundred of Corniloe, and it is sometimes written in old records Monken Langdon, from the monastery formerly situated within it. The manors of Norborne and East Langdon claim over some parts of this parish.
THIS PARISH is situated among the high hills and wide capacious valleys of this part of Kent, and like the rest of the neighbouring parishes is mostly open and uninclosed, having no wood, and but little shelter within it; the soil is like that of the adjoining parish of Whitfield, chalky and poor. It is but small, containing about six hundred acres; the church which is in ruins, with about tweleve houses, forming the village, stands round a green of about an acre in compass, in the middle of the parish. About a quarter of a mile eastward from which are the ruins of the abbey, and the house called the Abbey farm, which latter was modernized and new fronted with brick by the Thornhills; but it appears now to be again falling to decay.
THE MANOR OF WEST LANGDON was antiently part of those lands which made up the barony of Averenches, alias Folkestone, of which it was antiently held by knight's service and ward to the castle of Dover, by the family of Auberville, or De Albrincis, as they were written in Latin deeds, whose capital seat was at Westenhanger; one of them, Sir William de Auberville, senior, resided there in king Richard I.'s reign, and held this manor as above-mentioned; and having in the fourth year of it, anno 1192, founded within this manor AN ABBEY of white canons of the Premonstratensian order, brought hither from Leyston, in Suffolk, in honour of the blessed Virgin Mary and St. Thomas the Martyr, of Canterbury, he gave this manor, among other lands, as an endowment to it in pure and perpetual alms, free from all secular service and payment, (fn. 1) which foundation and gift was afterwards confirmed by Simon de Auberville, or Albrincis; and in the 30th year of king Edward I. by Sir Nicholas de Criol, great grandson by a female heir of the founder before-mentioned, by which means this abbey from that time came under the patronage and protection of the family of Criol, after which, in the 19th year of king Edward II. Edward, earl of Chester, the king's eldest son, guardian of the kingdom of England, and the king's locum tenens in it, was here at Langedon, on the 3d of August.
But whether the endowment of this abbey was not sufficient for its maintenance as such, so that being unable to support the expence and dignity of an abbot, it seems at times to have discontinued the election of one, and to have remained contented under the government of a prior, as the head of it, and frequently to have been under the estimation of a priory, (as appears by many deeds and instruments at different times relating to it) in like manner as Combwell and many other religious houses elsewhere, in which estate it continued till the final dissolution of it in the 27th gear of king Henry VIII. when the abbot, (for so he is stiled in the instrument of surrender) and religious of this monastery, foreseeing the impending storm to crush them, and knowing themselves culpable of many irregularities, and being besides so artfully managed by the king's commissioners, that they desired to leave their prosession and habit, and to give up their house and possessions to the king, as their founder and patron, on No vember 13, that year, voluntarily surrendered both into his hands, which surrendry was confirmed by the act which passed afterwards that year, by which all religious houses, which were under the clear yearly value of 200l. were suppressed, and this act not only gave those to the king, but all such as within one year next before had been given up to him or otherwise dissolved, this house being at that time of the clear yearly value of 47l. 6s. 10d. and of the gross revenue of 56l. 6s. 9d.
WILLIAM SAYER was the last abbot, who with ten monks, surrendered this abbey into the king's hands. (fn. 2) The arms of the abbey were, Azure, two crosiers in saltier, argent, the dexter crook, or, the sinister, sable.
The manor of West Langdon, with the scite of the abbey, and other lands and possessions belonging to it, remained afterwards in the crown, till the king, in his 29th year, granted the whole of them, excepting the advowsons of churches, and subject to a payment, to the curate of West Langdon, and other payments, to archbishop Cranmer, who not long afterwards exchanged this manor, the scite of the monastery, and all the lands in this parish belonging to it, again with the crown, where they remained, till queen Elizabeth in her 33d year granted this estate to Samuel Thornhill, esq. of London, (fn. 3) in whose descendants it continued, till it was at length alienated to Master, of the adjoining parish of East Langdon, and from that name again about the beginning of queen Anne's reign to Henry Furnese, esq. of London, the son of George, brother of Sir H. Furnese, bart. of Waldershare, who passed it away by sale to Coke, descended from a younger branch of the family seated at Holkham, in Norfolk, and he devised it by will to his brother Edward Coke, esq. afafterwards of Canterbury. He married Catherine, daughter of Sir Thomas Hales, bart. of Bekesborne, by whom he had two daughters his coheirs, Mary married to Sir William Lynch, K. B. of Groves, in this county; and Annette married to Lewis Cage, esq. of Milgate, in Bersted. He died in 1773, and by will gave this estate to his grandson Lewis Cage, esq. jun. since of Combe, in Berstled, the eldest son of Lewis Cage, esq. by Annetta his youngest daughter; Mr. Cage married Fanny, the eldest daughter of the late Sir Brook Bridges, bart. of Goodnestone, by whom he has one daughter; (fn. 4) he is at this time the possessor of this estate. A court baron is held for this manor.
There are no parochial charities. The poor constantly maintained are about five, casually seldom any.
WEST LANGDON is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Sandwich.
The church, which was dedicated to St. Mary, has been long in a ruinated state. In 1660, Sir Thomas Peyton, bart. of Knolton, had a design to repair it, for which purpose he provided a quantity of timber, but in the night the country people stole the whole of it away, and besides took away the pulpit, pews, &c. which had been left standing, out of the church; in which dilapidated situation it still continues. The ruins of it consist of a nave and chancel tolerably entire, excepting the roof. In the chancel is a gravestone, now covered with rubbish, for Sir Timothy Thornhill, once owner of this abbey.
The church of West Langdon was antiently appendant to the manor, and as a such was of the patronage of the abbot and convent of West Langdon, to which it was appropriated, and continued so till the dissolution of it in the 27th year of king Henry VIII. when this church, with the manor, among the rest of the possessions of the abbey, was granted to the archbishop, who, though he not long afterwards exchanged the manor again with the crown, retained this church, among others, in his possession, and it has continued ever since in the patronage of his successors, his grace the archbishop being the present patron of it.
It is valued in the king's books at 6l. 13s. 4d. but since the dissolution of the abbey it has been esteemed only as a curacy, to which the archbishop nominates, and is now of the clear yearly value of sixteen pounds.
The demesnes of the abbey are exempt from the payment of great tithes, but they are charged with the payment of six pounds yearly to the curate.
This curacy has been augmented by the governors of queen Anne's bounty, with the money from which, a small farm of about thirty pounds per annum, lying in this parish, Guston, and Little Mongeham, was purchased for the augmentation of the vicarages of the parishes of West Langdon and Guston. There are three acres of glebe, but no vicarage house.
¶The rectors of the adjoining parish of East Langdon have been for a long time past successively nominated to the several archbishops to this curacy, whose names may be seen under the description of that parish, ThoDelanoy, rector of East Langdon, being the present curate of West Langdon, nominated to it by the archbishop, in 1788.

An epidemic of artificial cannabinoid addiction took hold amongst the homeless as the government postured and ignored the reality of its own culpability. This scene was all too common across the centre of Manchester and other UK cities. For the record, the media tended to refer to these chemicals as 'spice', even though this was merely a brand name for some of the earliest chemicals of this class.
Some of the former POWs who elected to remain with communist-led forces are shown at the Beijing People’s University in the People’s Republic of China January 28, 1955—one year after they to refuse repatriation to the U.S. (and one to Britain).
Seated from left to right they are Morris Willis, Fort Anne, N.Y.; Harold Webb, Jacksonville, Fla; Andrew Condon, Scotland; Richard Corden, East Providence, R. I.; and William White, Plumerville, Ark.
Standing from left to right are Clarence Adams, Memphis, Tenn.; and John Dunn, Baltimore, Md.
The photograph was taken by Australian freelance writer Philip Luxer.
As the Red Scare of the late 1940s and 1950s continued in the United States, the prisoners who refused repatriation were labeled as “brainwashed” and fear of communists’ ability to shape people’s minds was spread across the country.
However some were African Americans who did not wish to return to face racial discrimination. Others agreed with their hosts that communism represented a better hope for mankind than the capitalism of the United States.
Most, though ultimately had difficulty adapting to the culture and language of the host country and eventually returned to the United States.
Prisoner repatriation was one of the greatest stumbling blocks in the long cease-fire negotiations between the forces of the United Nations and those of China and North Korea.
In June 1953, the two sides agreed that no prisoner who did not wish to be repatriated would be forced to do so (this had long been a sticking point in negotiations, with the Chinese and North Koreans wanting all prisoners returned to their home countries).
Prisoners who did not wish to go back to their home countries would be given 90 days in a neutral compound near Panmunjom to reconsider before being allowed to stay in enemy territory. Following the armistice that was signed on 27 July 1953, effectively ending the Korean War (South Korea never signed), the main prisoner exchange was free to proceed.
One British and 23 American soldiers (along with 327 South Koreans) refused to be returned to their homelands. Two, Corporal Claude Batchelor and Corporal Edward Dickenson, changed their minds before the 90-day window expired. Both were court-martialed and sentenced to prison terms, with Batchelor serving 4½ years and Dickenson 3½.
This left 22 U.N. soldiers who voluntarily stayed with the Communists after the final exchange of prisoners. The 21 Americans were given dishonorable discharges.
This had the unintended consequence of rendering them immune to court-martial when they finally returned to the United States (which the majority eventually did), because they were no longer active-duty military. However, they were still criminally culpable for any acts of collaboration or offenses against fellow prisoners committed while they were POWs.
About 4 a.m. on February 24, 1954, a train carrying the 21 American defectors rumbled across the Yalu River into China. The Chinese soon shipped some of the men off to study language and politics. Others went to mills, factories, and farms across Eastern China.

After declaring he had rather die than resign, then "stepping aside" to allow for independent investigations which reportedly found him culpable for misleading parliament andselling the Grand Regency hotel with undue haste and secrecy, Amos Kimunya is back in Mwai Kibaki's promised "Clean Cabinet".
He joins a distinguished group of presidential cronies who have been, despite all evidence to the contrary, "cleared of wrongdoing" (at least in the President's fevered imagination). The Fellowship of the Wringer. It includes persons such as George Saitoti, Fred Gumo, David Mwiraria and Kiraitu Murungi, who after being caught with their hands in the public till, are forced to resign (OK, OK Amos, step aside), subjected to Commissions of Inquiry whose reports and recommendations are neither released nor implemented and after a short stint in the backbenches to allow for public tempers to cool down, are reappointed to the Cabinet.
The oldest members of this fellowship are Saitoti and Gumo, who even prior to Kibaki taking power had been included in a "List of Shame" in a report into the Goldenberg scandal by the Parliamentary Select Committee on Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes (popularly known as the Kombo report). That report recommended that they both "be investigated with a view to prosecution" and candidate Kibaki promised to implement in full the recommendations. However, one of the first acts of Kibaki's Presidency was to appoint the two to his Cabinet! A subsequent Commission of Inquiry into Goldenberg also recommended that Saitoti be prosecuted. However, he managed to convince a constitutional court that he had been "cleared" by his fellow MPs. Attorney-General Amos Wako vowed to appeal that particular constitutional court ruling though an appeal that is yet to materialise several years later.
And when it comes to being cleared by Paliament, Mwiraria's name was expunged from the Parliamentary Accounts Committee report into the Anglo-Leasing scandal, largely at the instigation of that other anti-corruption crusader, Justice Minister Martha Karua (who in an interview with the BBC's Hardtalk two years ago said that she could offer no evidence that the war on corruption was being won and admitted that after more than 4 years in power,the Kibaki administration could not produce a single corruption conviction of note). During the vote, the August House was less than a quarter full, and the motion was passed by a majority of 3 with Mwiraria himself casting one of those votes in his own favour! A thunderous vindication indeed!
President Kibaki has shown a propensity for disregarding the recommendations of the people he appoints to investigate corruption when their reports threaten to disturb hios otherwise peaceful slumber. He was AWOL when his own anti-corruption czar, John Githongo, was asked to "ngo srowry" in his investigations into Anglo-Leasing and eventually hounded out of the country, his evidence dismissed on the spurious assertion that it did not matter because he was not an "investigator". The Kroll report into the looting of Kenya under Moi was kept under wraps for over 3 years and has not been acted upon till today. Similarly, Kibaki has now ignored the recomendations of the Cockar Report which he himself commissioned.
Thus we conduct the War on Corruption.

Today one friend (Pro-Ukraine) missed being shot by less than a meter. Another (Pro-Russia) was beaten by opposing protesters. And another (Pro-Ukraine) was lit on fire by a Molotov cocktail. ...And I *saw* that last one as it happened on a livestream. And what happened at Odessa's Trade Union Building today is an absolute travesty. If you aren't paying attention to what has been happening, is happening, and what is still to come: you should be.
What is going on in Ukraine is sickening, and worsened in that at the start of this year these same people were friends. You don't throw rocks or tear up cobblestones, toss Molotovs or fill the bottles, fire bullets or stand beside them & expect none of that is intended to kill. Those of both sides who contribute to the carnage are as culpable as those who perform it.
Behind every front line of thugs is a mindless mob, and behind every mindless mob -- to some glimmer of hope -- are the good people, ignored, who will pickup the fallen and clean the mess of both sides.
Abdullah Al-Arian the 31 year old Assistant Professor of history specializing in the modern Middle East has published an article on Aljazeera titled ‘The insult, the injury and the indignities of empire’, citing during colonial times, scathing critiques of Islam were often met by Muslims with thoughtful and measured responses. Al-Arian states “…the United States and its European allies hope to absolve themselves of any culpability for the recurring hostility expressed by populations in the Middle East and beyond. To deny historical experiences and current political realities allows one to miss the point entirely: that the offence caused by the steady flow of anti-Islamic cultural production is quite literally adding insult to injury. And it is much easier for all of those involved to focus on the insult rather than the injury. There is little new in the amateurish hate-filled film that emerged out of the bowels of an Islamophobia industry that has picked up considerable steam in the last decade. Aside from trading the physical soapbox for the digital one of YouTube, anti-Islamic screeds have not evolved much since the era of the Crusades, relying primarily on a thoroughly discredited historical narrative of Prophet Muhammad’s life and mission that acted as a kind of medieval war propaganda. …Anyone seeking to understand the recent upheavals need only contrast the latest response with historical ones. Internal Muslim condemnations against the protests have relied primarily on Muhammad’s example of ignoring insults against his person. But in fact, there is a long tradition of Muslim tolerance for insults against their faith and its founder.” Inspired by Aljazeera ow.ly/e0c6S image source usavsalarian ow.ly/e0cnQ

QUOTE….“ It is the color of a bleached skull, his flesh; and the long hair, which flows below his shoulders, is milk-white. From the tapering, beautiful head stare two slanting eyes, crimson and moody, and from the loose sleeves of his yellow gown emerge two slender hands, also the color of bone”. Thus described by author Michael Moorcock in the first book, Elric of Melniboné
Launched 30 Dec 1927 in Copenhagen, arrived Port Adelaide Aug 1927 to provide twice weekly service to Port Lincoln, last trip 29 Jun 1960, sold to Hong Kong Company, broken up 1963. [Photo from State Library of SA: B 35366 (1928) Passengers being taken off stranded Minnipa.]
“To meet the growing needs of Eyre Peninsula the Adelaide Steamship Company have ordered from Messrs. Burmeister and Wain, of Copenhagen, a fast motor passenger ship for their Spencer Gulf trade. The new vessel will be named after the town of Minnipa, on Eyre Peninsula.” [Advertiser 20 May 1926]
“The motor ship Minnipa was launched at the yards of Burmeister & Wain, Copenhagen, on December 30. . . Accommodation is provided for 211 first-class passengers. . . She has four cargo holds, each of which is equipped with the newest handling appliances, and electric winches.” [Advertiser 3 Jan 1927]
“The trial trip of the Adelaide Steamship Company's new motor ship, Minnipa, was held at Copenhagen on May 24 and 25, and her speed was most satisfactory, being 15 knots. She will leave Copenhagen to-day for London, where she will take in for Australia. She should arrive at Port Adelaide about the end of July.” [Advertiser 28 May 1927]
“The Adelaide Steamship Company's new M.V. ‘Minnipa’, has now arrived from the Continent, and will take up her running in the bi-weekly service between Port Adelaide and Port Lincoln, leaving Port Adelaide on Monday, 22nd August. This vessel will leave Port Adelaide on Monday and Thursday of each week, and will leave Port Lincoln on the return journey on Wednesday and Friday, On the first trip in each week the ‘Minnipa’ will extend to Tumby Bay.” [Quorn Mercury 5 Aug 1927]
“Consequent on the running of the m.v. ‘Minnipa’ and the proposed sailings thereto we publish in this issue the alterations to the train service which will take effect on Tuesday; 22ud inst. Trains will be run to meet the proposed service.” [West Coast Sentinel 12 Aug 1927]
“At 6.30 o'clock this morning, in a heavy fog, the motor ship Minnipa, owned by the Adelaide Steamship Company, Limited, went aground on the south-eastern end of Boston Island, a few miles off Port Lincoln. It was high tide at the time, and it is believed unlikely that the vessel will get off without the services of a tug. There were about 160 passengers on .board the ship. They were taken ashore in boats.” [News 29 May 1928]
“This morning the Quorna unsuccessfully tried to tow the Minnipa off the rocks. Further efforts will be made this afternoon. . . The next suitable high tide for refloating operations will not occur until Thursday morning.” [News 30 May 1928]
“Diver Dunbar to-day completed his examination of the Minnipa, which was refloated on Thursday after having been stranded since Tuesday morning on Boston Island. It was found that the damage to the vessel was less than was at first supposed, although it was sufficient to necessitate her having to go into dry dock. Consequently she will leave tomorrow morning for Melbourne direct. . . The Minnipa was able to go to Tumby Bay last night to discharge about 130 tons of general cargo there. She returned early this morning to complete the discharge of her Port Lincoln cargo.” [Advertiser 2 Jun 1928]
“By a trick of fate a dense fog hung over Boston Bay this morning when the motor ship Minnipa, of the Adelaide Steamship Company. Limited, arrived from Port Adelaide on the resumption of service after her grounding on Boston Island in a fog five weeks ago.” [News 10 Jun 1928]
“An enquiry under the Marine Board and Navigation Act into the stranding of the motor ship Minnipa on Boston Island on May 29 last was conducted by Captain W. F. Baddams, harbormaster, Port Adelaide. . . he found that there was no evidence of culpable negligence on the part of the master.” [Advertiser 20 Jul 1928]
“The Minnipa will be the first intrastate vessel in SA water to be fitted with radar equipment. The installation is expected to be completed by the end of this week, A spoksman for the ship's owners, the Adelaide Steamship Co. Ltd., said yesterday that in the winter months Port Lincoln often suffered from rather heavy fogs and the use of radar would minimise delay.” [Advertiser 26 Feb 1953]
“Because of a waterside workers' dispute, the Minnipa is returning to Port Adelaide with about 350 tons, of cargo that was to have been discharged at Port Lincoln yesterday. Port Lincoln's week-end fruit and vegetable supplies are assured, however, because about 20 tons were unloaded before the dispute began. The only perishable cargo still aboard is a quantity of ice-cream.” [Advertiser 31 Oct 1953]
“The motorship Minnipa will leave Part Adelaide today for Melbourne, to undergo her annual dry docking overhaul. During the absence of the vessel, for about three weeks, she will be replaced on the Port Lincoln run by the Moonta.” [Advertiser 3 Jul 1954]
“crews of the Minnipa and Moonta had agreed to load perishables and mail. The Minnipa would sail tonight for Port Lincoln, where watersiders had decided against remaining on strike.” [News 4 Nov 1954]
“The coastal vessels Minnipa and Moonta would sail as scheduled, but without cargo this week. . . the ships would do the trip simply to keep faith with the passengers. . . Because the. Minnipa sailing has not been cancelled, the SA Symphony Orchestra will be able to keep to its itinerary for its Spencer Gulf tour.” [News 10 Nov 1954]

Note the price !!! And the Date...!!
One of these players is my father. His last name matches mine.
Note the date: He graduated the spring of 1943, became a naval officer after going to Chicago and becoming a "90-day wonder", served during the Normandy Invasion, and was in the Sea of Japan when WWII ended.
I found this “Why Do Men Play Football” among my father’s belongings sent to me by my brother.
My dad, John Curtis Fischer, died in 1991 at age 69 from metastatic prostate cancer. My brother was the executor of my parent’s estate.
This was written by Bernard Taylor, co-captain of the football team along with my father:
I obtained the item below from a 1943 Emporia State Football Program handout and read it at the end of January, 2008. My thoughts immediately turned to how our young boys are treated in “modern” times.
Today, the exuberance described below is neither allowed to burn off in a pre-class playground, or even by walking to school. Our solution, as parents, teachers and society in general, has been Ritalin. In that decision, our society overlooks the God-given maleness that requires movement and contact. Goodness, what a poor substitute is a chemical for our young boys, who are to become men, compared to what they have received before.
You may not agree but much has changed since the time my father played football. I don’t think the changes have addressed the in-born nature of male youths. Adults are culpable. Why? They simply, and on an escalating scale, do not nurture the proper methods and philosophy for venting the “lust” of physical games.
In 1920’s, 30’s and 40’s everything may not have been right, but some things appear to have been so. Read on.
------------------
"Why Do Men Play Football? “I’ll tell you,” says Capt. Bernard Taylor.
Source: Washburn vs. Emporia State Football Program, Saturday, October 3, 1942.
“Why do boys play football? Did you ever stop to dwell upon that question? Usually men must have some reason in mind when they literally way-lay each other night after night in practice so that they might proceed that week-end against some new foe on whom they use the same tactics that they have been employing and practicing throughout the week.
“The golfer plays golf usually for the sport of it and to keep his waist line down. The tennis player does likewise. But why are twenty-two boys lining up out on the field this afternoon to play football? I’ll grant you that none of the twenty-two players are playing the game to lose a little excess weight from about their mid-riffs. No, there is a reason much deeper than that that makes young Americans throughout the country line up on Saturdays to exercise physical and mental prowess against another group of boys that entertain the same thought and ideas against them. The reason, as we see it, is that football is the typical sport that suits the sporting blood of the free, unregimented young men of America. It is a sport of physical contact. A sport that will enable each player to cut loose with as much excess body energy as he desires. Football is a sport, you might say, that served as a substitute for internal uprisings and petty wars in the United States during the past twenty-two years, for the game of football has afforded players an opportunity to fight and show their superiority over other groups of similar individuals.
“The United States is a hot bed of fighting youths. Youths who desire competition and body contact. Therefore we believe that although there is great sport in the game of football, players throughout the country participate in the game to get rid of that inner lust that is harbored within them to fight someone—to show their superiority—and to take the chances of getting an arm, leg, or other parts of their bodies broken and bruised. No, these boy who are laying out there on the field are not softies. They are the back bone of America, and as General MacArthur once said, ‘Give me all the football players in the United States with the proper amount of military training and we will have an army that could whip all the armies in the world—hands down.’”
My father, J. Curtis Fischer, was co-captain with Bernard Taylor. Both joined in Navy in 1943. The armed services were well represented by many members of Emporia State football."

OMAR SULEIMAN
Adapted from remarks delivered at Stephon Clark’s funeral, March 29, in Sacramento, California.
In the aftermath of the violent shooting death of Stephon Clark, I ― like many of you ― felt the same pain and outrage that I felt after the unwarranted murders of so many others. Some time after, I learned that Stephon was a Muslim. But as Malcolm said, black people aren’t brutalized in this country because they’re Baptist, Methodist, Muslim or Catholic, but because they’re black people in America.
We cannot bring Stephon back from the dead, but we can make sure that his death is not in vain, that his family is loved and properly cared for, that justice is properly served, and that his memory is not slain as well.
Because, too often in the immediate aftermath of black bodies being riddled with police bullets, their characters are riddled with the bullets of politicians and the press.
The vilification of these victims thereby facilitates the continued racial profiling of young black men and the rationalization and entrenchment of racist attitudes in policy and law enforcement.
The images that will be plastered will be done so to paint a certain picture of Stephon, much like what was done to Trayvon Martin, much like what was done to Michael Brown. Not the images of a young man ― as imperfect as he may have been, like us all ― who had hopes and dreams. Not the images of a young man who had a family that loved him, and that was beloved to him. Not the images of him playing with his beautiful children. But images that will continuously defame his character.
He will be framed not as a victim of senseless terror, but as a representative of America’s criminal element that was inevitably destined to suffer from a violent ending.
They will use whatever few incidents or images of him that they can to characterize his entire life this way. All of this smearing to sustain the prevailing narrative and policy. All of this to somehow make Stephon culpable in his own death. To somehow justify an unarmed man holding a cellphone being shot at 20 times, mutilated by eight of those bullets, all hitting him directly in the back or side, left to bleed out on the ground, and then handcuffed all in his grandmother’s backyard.
You will see the prominence of racist symbols and constructions so embedded in the American psyche that we cannot see beyond them. Just as Trayvon’s hoodie, Alton’s gold teeth and Philando’s tattoos were used to portray these young black men as having a predisposition for violence, ungovernable except by brutality.
The problem isn’t that so many people are hurt and angry, the problem is that more aren’t.
The victim is somehow always made out to be the aggressor. Because if you cast enough aspersions on his character, create enough doubt about the circumstances of his murder and maintain an omnipresence of criminal identity, then maybe Stephon was asking for it. Maybe he’s not worth fighting for.
Many will, in fact, say that, though he didn’t deserve to be shot at 20 times, we also shouldn’t feel too bad.
Because if you distort his reputation enough, then you can discredit his status as a victim, and disregard his status as a human being.
The same media that humanizes domestic white terrorists like Dylann Roof and Mark Anthony Conditt deliberately vilifies black victims like Alton and Stephon.
And I, for one, don’t think it’s unreasonable to demand that black victims be treated with at least the same amount of dignity as white terrorists.
It’s not Stephon’s record or reputation that needs to be brought into question, it’s the way we police in this country that needs to be on trial.
The police are supposed to protect the peace, not reign terror on our communities.
They will say wait for all the facts, just like they did with Philando and Alton.
We watched those modern-day lynchings on our screens, and we watched the same cover that was granted to those who lynched by nooses in the 20th century be granted to those who lynch by bullets in the 21st century.
It’s not the whip of a slaveholder, the noose of a Klansman, or the gun of a police officer that has led to the murders of men like Stephon, but the system that continues to sustain this repression without accountability.
They will claim that it was just an unfortunate mistake.
Well, at what point do you deem a system that makes this many fatal mistakes as being either disqualifyingly incompetent or disturbingly evil?
The story is always intentionally ambiguous to create enough suspicion to avoid prosecuting the killers. In the case of young Jordan Edwards in Dallas, first the car was backing up too fast and then it was driving off too fast. And in the case of Stephon, first it was a gun, then it was a crowbar, then it was really only a cellphone.
Between the persecution and the “pressecution,” the goal is not to get the people to be 100 percent on the side of those who murder, but to make them shaky enough to be rendered indifferent. Because if enough of America can remain in indifference, then the murders can continue uninterrupted.
As a nation, we are guilty of indifference. Our entire nation is entirely guilty. Our American political, economic and social atmosphere is entirely guilty. The system is guilty of atrocity, but the country is guilty of apathy.
USA TODAY SPORTS / REUTERS. A young demonstrator holds a photo of Stephon Clark to the glass of the doors to Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California, as protestors block the entrance to the arena on March 22.
The problem isn’t that so many people are hurt and angry, the problem is that more aren’t.
Are we really so numb to this that we’ve resigned ourselves to shrugging our shoulders? To being more interested in calm than justice for a murdered 22-year-old young father?
We can’t have business as usual. Because business as usual is lethal to minorities in America. We refuse to accept that this way of policing is normal and unpreventable. That police shootings are to be expected and accepted.
And we don’t need to keep giving assurances and disclaimers that we are not anti-police. Because there will always be those who purposefully misrepresent anti-police brutality as anti-police, in the same way they will purposefully misrepresent the victims of police brutality to sustain this system.
And we are not irrational, we’re just fed up. But do not mistake our lack of faith in this system as a lack of faith. We have plenty of it.
And surely we will pray with our hands raised to the Creator. And we will call out to Him, with full trust in Him. But we will also pray with our tongues by continuing to say Stephon’s name and demanding justice for him. We will pray with our feet by continuing to march for him.
And while we have full confidence that God will bring retribution in the hereafter, we will not abdicate our own responsibility to ensure accountability on this earth.
Stephon will not be here to defend himself in the coming months, but we will. We honor Stephon when we fight for his memory, and protect other young black men from suffering from a similar fate. We will not let him die in vain. We will not let him be reduced to a hashtag.
And while the scope of this issue is larger than the murder of Stephon, Stephon is larger than this discussion as a human being. And today we honor that humanity.
That humanity that was unspeakably violated when Stephon had almost as many bullets put into his body as years he lived on this earth.

QUOTE….“The study of history was oddly congenial to Joseph. There was a kind of poetry in it for him. He had always loved those flamboyant tales of far-off strife, the carefully preserved legends of the fabled kings and kingdoms of Old Earth. But they were just tales to him, gaudy legends, ingenious dramatic fictions. He did not seriously think that men like Agamemnon and Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan had ever existed”. Robert Silverberg from The Longest Way Home
A Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia
monòlit per a Francesc Ferrer i Guardia, a la muntanya de Montjuïc, per l'ajuntament de Barcelona el 13 d'octubre de 1990 en 81 aniversari de la seva mort.
El 13 d'octubre de 1909 va ser executat a la presó del castell de Montjuïc, acusat d'haver estat l'instigador de la revolta coneguda com la Setmana Tràgica de Barcelona del 1909. Una revolta anticlerical, després de la qual Ferrer, a causa de les seves poques amistats estratègiques i la seva antiga vinculació amb Mateo Morral, va ser declarat culpable davant un tribunal militar. La seva obra més coneguda és L'Escola Moderna. Poc després de la seva mort es van obrir arreu del món diverses Escoles Modernes inspirades en la seva pedagogia. Una de les més importants va ser la Modern School de Nova York, fundada en 1911.
---------------------------------
Monolith and statue dedicated in 1990 by the Barcelona mayor's office in respect for his work.
Following the declaration of martial law in 1909 during the Tragic Week, he was arrested and executed without trial by firing squad at Montjuich Fortress in Barcelona on 13 October, even though he was never really involved.
Shortly after his execution, numerous supporters of Ferrer's ideas in the United States formed what were called Modern Schools, or Ferrer Schools, modeled after la Escuela Moderna. The first and most notable Modern School was formed in New York City in 1911
------------------------------
Monolito y estatua colocados en 1990 como reconocimiento público de la ciudad de Barcelona a Ferrer Guardia. Este monumento es una réplica del instalado en memoria del pedagogo anarquista en 1911 en Bruselas, exactamente en la Avenida Franklin Roosevelt, frente a la Universidad Libre de la capital belga.
En 1909 se encuentra en Barcelona y es detenido, acusado de haber sido el instigador de la revuelta conocida como la Semana Trágica. Una revuelta anticlerical, tras la cual Ferrer, debido a sus pocas amistades estratégicas y su antigua vinculación con Mateo Morral, fue declarado culpable ante un tribunal militar y a las 9 de la mañana del 13 de octubre de 1909 fue fusilado en el foso de Santa Amalia de la prisión del Montjuïc.
Es bien sabido, y ya lo fue en su momento, que Ferrer Guardia no tuvo relación con los hechos y que los tribunales militares lo acusaron y condenaron sin más pruebas.
A stone angel appears to kneel before a Welsh valley and pray over the settlement below.
The angel is positioned in the cemetry belonging to the coal mining village of Aberfan. He enjoys a majestic view across the valley. The modern landscape in the year 2012 is somewhat different from what he would have seen back in the 1960's. At that time, huge black heaps of coal slurry dominated the surrounding hills. Tragically, on Friday 21st October 1966, one of those mounds collapsed and in the process destroyed the local junior school. It snuffed out the lives of 116 children and 28 adults.

reviewed by CR:
"The time is out of joint; O cursed spite!/That ever I was born to set it right!"...Hamlet
Speaking to Vic: ";The time' Ragle said, "is out of joint - I think we should compare notes" from Time Out Of Joint
"Time Out of Joint", first published in 1959, is not one of his PKD's better known or critically acclaimed novels. Nonetheless it is a story I greatly admire. It concerns a man, Ragle Gumm, who makes his living by consistently correctly solving a newspaper puzzle contest: "Where Will the Little Green Man be Next?"
At first this odd story appears quite mundane. Set against the background of small town suburbia life in the 1950's - nothing appears to out of the ordinary. Ragle Gumm's brother-in-law is a grocer, his young nephew gets into minor schoolboy mischief, he plays cards in the evening and there is an undercurrent of infidelity with the neighbor's wife. Slowly like a cat creeping across the lawn on a moonless night the weirdness starts to set in. Someone looks for a pull cord for a bathroom light they swore was always there and finds a wall switch. Small slips of paper with item names are found under or near where the item previously was thought to be located. Televisions are found in homes but no radios.
A modestly paced story that engaged this reader as the plot unfolds but, unfortunately, marred by an ending that seem forced and out of place. It is my opinion that the more you know about PKD the better you can appreciate this story.
Additional comments August 2012
I re-read this novel recently and it occurred to me that part of its charm is the "period" the story is set in. Dick wrote it in 1957-8 and peppers his story with references to then popular culture and politics. The seemingly abrupt &"science-fiction"; endings becomes more credible upon another reading.
A strange and intriguing book worth another read if you're so inclined.

Dick

QUOTE….“The study of history was oddly congenial to Joseph. There was a kind of poetry in it for him. He had always loved those flamboyant tales of far-off strife, the carefully preserved legends of the fabled kings and kingdoms of Old Earth. But they were just tales to him, gaudy legends, ingenious dramatic fictions. He did not seriously think that men like Agamemnon and Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan had ever existed”. Robert Silverberg from The Longest Way Home
