A look at Conwy Castle, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site with the other North Wales Edward I castles, as well as with the Town Walls.
Didn't really come to Conwy for the castle, mainly for the Conwy Suspension Bridge and Aberconwy House. Also have been to two of the other castles in this UNESCO listing months earlier (Beaumaris and Caernarfon). Although did see Beaumaris once more during this second holiday in North Wales in summer 2018.
Conwy Castle (Welsh: Castell Conwy, English: Conway Castle) is a medieval fortification in Conwy, on the north coast of Wales. It was built by Edward I, during his conquest of Wales, between 1283 and 1289. Constructed as part of a wider project to create the walled town of Conwy, the combined defences cost around £15,000, a huge sum for the period. Over the next few centuries, the castle played an important part in several wars. It withstood the siege of Madog ap Llywelyn in the winter of 1294–95, acted as a temporary haven for Richard II in 1399 and was held for several months by forces loyal to Owain Glyndŵr in 1401.
Following the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642, the castle was held by forces loyal to Charles I, holding out until 1646 when it surrendered to the Parliamentary armies. In the aftermath the castle was partially slighted by Parliament to prevent it being used in any further revolt, and was finally completely ruined in 1665 when its remaining iron and lead was stripped and sold off. Conwy Castle became an attractive destination for painters in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Visitor numbers grew and initial restoration work was carried out in the second half of the 19th century. In the 21st century the ruined castle is managed by Cadw as a tourist attraction.
UNESCO considers Conwy to be one of "the finest examples of late 13th century and early 14th century military architecture in Europe", and it is classed as a World Heritage site. The rectangular castle is built from local and imported stone and occupies a coastal ridge, originally overlooking an important crossing point over the River Conwy. Divided into an Inner and an Outer Ward, it is defended by eight large towers and two barbicans, with a postern gate leading down to the river, allowing the castle to be resupplied from the sea. It retains the earliest surviving stone machicolations in Britain and what historian Jeremy Ashbee has described as the "best preserved suite of medieval private royal chambers in England and Wales". In keeping with other Edwardian castles in North Wales, the architecture of Conwy has close links to that found in the kingdom of Savoy during the same period, an influence probably derived from the Savoy origins of the main architect, James of Saint George.
Grade I listed building
History
Conwy Castle was begun in 1283 following the successful conquest of Snowdonia by the armies of Edward I of England. It was one of a defensive ring of castles erected around the North Wales coast from Aberystwyth to Flint, and in addition protected a walled town that was the largest of the medieval boroughs of North Wales. Work began with digging the rock-cut ditches, under the direction of Richard of Chester, master engineer. The design of the castle and supervision of building was under the control of James of St George, Master of the King's Works in Wales and the foremost secular architect of his age. Other subordinate master craftsmen included Henry of Oxford and Laurence of Canterbury, both master carpenters, and John Francis who, like James of St George, was from Savoy. The castle and town wall were substantially complete by 1287.
Modifications were made to the buildings in 1346-7 by Henry de Snelleston, mason to Edward, Prince of Wales (the Black Prince). This included replacing original roof trusses and strengthening the roofs by adding masonry arches. By the end of the C15 its military importance was diminishing and the castle slowly decayed. It was described as in poor condition in 1627, and in 1631 it was sold to Charles I's secretary of state, who assumed the title Viscount Conway of Conway Castle. During the Civil War the castle was repaired and fortified for the Royalists under the leadership of John Williams, exiled archbishop of York and a native of Conwy. The castle surrendered in 1646 and in 1655 the castle was 'disabled' by blowing up a portion of the bakehouse tower, making a substantial breach. The castle was restored to the Conway family after the Restoration, when some of the buildings, and the lead roofs, were taken down. Ownership passed to the Seymour family until, in 1865, it was given to the town. During this period there was some restoration and the bakehouse tower was rebuilt by the LNWR, whose railway line passed the foot of the castle. Since 1953, when more substantial conservation work began, the castle has been a guardianship monument in the care of the state.
Exterior
A castle whose compact design is dictated by the rocky outcrop on which its stands. Roughly rectangular in plan, it has a curtain wall with 8 higher round towers enclosing an outer ward on the W side, and smaller near-square inner ward to the E overlooking the river. Additional defence was provided by barbicans at E and W entrances. Walls are coursed rubble, with freestone dressings of pink sandstone. They are embattled with saddleback copings to the merlons, which also have arrow loops on the towers. The round towers have loops and openings of 2-light mullioned windows, although few of the mullions have survived, and higher round stair turrets. Many features are consistent throughout the building, including freestone fireplaces with raked stone hoods, and window seats.
The main entrance from the town is on the W side. It retains part of a ramp on the N side from the modern Castle Square. The gap over which the drawbridge was lowered has been covered by a timber platform. The entrance arch to the W barbican has a pointed arch with portcullis slots, flanked by round turrets with corbel tables. Inside the gateway are later stone steps to a gate passage, where there is a modern breach in the wall for visitor access, and the springers and draw-bar sockets of another gateway. The W barbican has an almost straight wall with 3 turrets. The town wall is attached to the southernmost turret.
Entrance to the E barbican was from the Water Gate. The outer steps have disappeared, probably lost when Thomas Telford built the suspension bridge in 1822-6, but they are shown on the Buck brothers' 1742 engraving of the castle. Steps inside the barbican have survived, but of the doorway in the barbican wall only the draw-bar sockets have survived. The faceted E barbican wall has 3 turrets similar to the W side.
The castle has 8 towers, of which 6 enclose the outer ward, one at the corners and one half way along each of the N and S walls, and 4 enclose the inner ward, of which 2 (stockhouse and bakehouse towers) are common to both inner and outer wards. In the outer ward the S wall is faceted and the W wall is narrower than the E. Otherwise the whole castle is rectangular in plan. The W wall of the outer ward has a pointed arch, below deep corbels of former machicolations. On the N side of the outer ward, both sections of wall have 2 loops and 2 latrine shafts, including one on the W side contained within a shallow projection and low round turret. Attached to the stockhouse tower, between inner and outer wards, is the town wall. The inner ward N wall has 2 loops and 2 low-level outlets of latrine shafts. On the S side each section of the outer ward has 3 windows, 2 loops to the cellar and latrine shaft at wall-walk level. The bakehouse tower between inner and outer wards is partly rebuilt in snecked stone, with a battered plinth of rock-faced stone, repairs carried out by LNWR in the 1870s of the deliberate breach made in 1655. The inner ward S wall has a doorway at ground-floor level above a battered rubble plinth (the only section not built directly on bedrock). At 1st-floor level are 2 loops, a larger opening centre-R, and a former doorway at the R end. Above 1st-floor level are 3 latrine shafts. The E wall, from the E barbican, has a shoulder-headed doorway, 4 1st-floor windows with stepped lintels, and deep corbelled machicolations, although the embattled parapet has not survived.
In the outer ward, the gate passage has portcullis slots and draw-bar sockets, and a high-level door on the S side, to stone steps up to the wall walk. The inner side of the wall is corbelled out at parapet level. The NW and SW towers form a pair. They each have 2 superimposed newel stairs restored in concrete. Both have fireplaces to 1st and 2nd floors. In addition the SW tower has a domed bread oven at ground floor, and latrine to the 1st floor. The kitchen tower in the centre of the N side of the outer ward has a ruined newel stair. The wall walk is corbelled out around its faceted inner side. The prison tower on the corresponding S side has a dungeon, but otherwise similar details to the other towers, including restored newel stairs and ruined fireplaces, except for a 2nd-floor fireplace with flat stone arch instead of a corbelled lintel.
Remains of buildings can be seen against each of the outer ward walls. Of the guard rooms to the W, flanking the gate passage, and kitchen and stables on the N, only footings have survived. Against the S wall is a long faceted range housing lesser hall and a small chamber in the W facet, great hall in the central facet, passage and chapel in the E facet. At the W end are stone steps leading down to a pointed cellar doorway with continuous chamfer. To its L is a pointed window, its tracery missing but originally 2-light. Further L is a similar former 2-light window to the great hall that retains fragments of bar tracery. In the E facet are the passage doorway, the dressings of which are mostly missing and with modern stone steps, and 2-light chapel window, also with fragments of bar tracery. The chapel has a similar former 3-light E window. Inside, this range has one transverse arch and the springers and haunches of 7 others, all inserted in the mid C14 to support the roof. The lesser hall has a fireplace in its W end wall; the small chamber between halls has a N fireplace; the great hall has a fireplace against the prison tower. Access to the prison tower is from the embrasure of one the S windows of the great hall. The cellar has a dividing wall below the chapel with doorway.
On the E side of the outer ward is a stone-lined well, approximately 91 feet deep. Behind the well was a drawbridge to a small gatehouse at the middle gate between inner and outer wards. The gatehouse is square in plan with narrow loop in the W wall. The middle gate has a doorway with shouldered lintel to each end of its passage, and draw-bar socket.
The other entrance to the inner ward, the E gate, has draw-bar sockets, and a passage giving access to mural stairs to the king's tower and chapel tower. The stockhouse and bakehouse towers are similar to the towers in the outer wards. The bakehouse tower has a domed oven behind the ground-floor fireplace, and restored newel stairs. The stockhouse tower has ruined newel stairs. The NE chapel tower has a restored conical slate roof. From the inner ward is a C19 restored doorway with red sandstone jamb to the ground floor. It also has a passage and doorway above the water gate on the outer (E) side. A mural stair leads to the 1st-floor chapel, where there is also a separate latrine. The rib-vaulted chapel is round with an apsidal sanctuary. The sanctuary has wall shafts and cusped arcading, incorporating sedilia on the S side, below 3 pointed windows with leaded glazing. On the S side is a squint from a small cell. On the N side of the chapel is a deep window seat, which also features a squint to the sanctuary. A restored mural stair leads to the upper chamber. The SW king's tower has a restored newel stair. At 1st-floor level is a small keeled tunnel-vaulted chamber.
Buildings are ranged against the walls of the inner ward, including the king's private apartments. Against the S wall are the 1st-floor king's chamber on the E and king's hall on the W (known as presence chamber and privy chamber respectively in a survey of 1627), with a passage to the bakehouse tower at the W end. This passage has a segmental-pointed arch. Two windows to its L have dressings mostly missing, and further L is a segmental-headed ground-floor doorway and another window. Entrance to the 1st-floor hall is by a doorway above the passage, which has a 2-light cusped square-headed window immediately to its L. Further L are 2 hall windows and a 3rd to the king's chamber, all square-headed with relieving arches, bar-tracery fragments and fragments of sunk spandrels. Next L is the wall over the passage to the E gate (later used as a buttery). From inside the passage the range has a ground-floor doorway with chamfered dressings and springers of a possible cambered arch, and at the L end a 1st-floor doorway with segmental head. The W wall of the hall has 2 1st-floor doorways with segmental heads. Inside, beneath the hall is a ground-floor fireplace to the W wall, and larger former corbelled 1st-floor fireplace in the S wall. One floor-length window reveal in the S wall has a short passage to a latrine. Hall and chamber have one complete and the springers of 3 other C14 stone transverse arches supporting the former roof. In the king's chamber the 1st-floor has floor-length S and E window reveals opening to mural passages to a latrine and the king's tower.
Against the E wall of the inner ward are the passage to the E gate, and what was known in 1627 as the 1st-floor great chamber. The passage on the R has a pointed segmental arch, to the L of which the ground floor has a segmental-headed window and a small window further L. The 1st-floor great chamber was entered by a doorway at the R end over the passage, which has a cambered head. The chamber has one large square-headed W window under a relieving arch. Inside, fireplaces were built into the W walls, with tripartite lintel in the ground floor. The springers and haunches survive of 2 former transverse arches added in the mid C14 to support the roof.

The view from Vicarage Gardens Car Park
The Alfa Romeo Giulia (Type 952) is a compact executive car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Alfa Romeo. It was unveiled in June 2015, with market launch scheduled for February 2016, and it is the first saloon offered by Alfa Romeo after the production of the 159 ended in 2011. The Giulia is also the first mass-market Alfa Romeo vehicle in over two decades to use a longitudinal rear-wheel drive platform, since the 75 which was discontinued in 1992.
On 2 March 2020, Alfa Romeo introduced two new GTA and GTAm models which would have a limited production run of 500 units. The GTA and GTAm versions are developed to celebrate the marque's 110th anniversary in 2020, and pay tribute to one of the most emblematic automobile of Alfa Romeo: Giulia GTA. The GTA and GTAm use the same engine, rated at 540 PS (397 kW; 533 hp) and are 100 kilograms (220 lb) lighter than the Quadrifoglio, allowing for a power to weight ratio of 2.82 kg/PS. The GTA and GTAm can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, with launch control.
The GTA and GTAm use a modified version of the 2.9L V6, part of the Ferrari F154 architecture, used predominantly in V8 form in Ferrari and Maseriati road cars. In the 690T Alfa Romeo version, the banks are also spaced at 90 degrees. In all applications the engine use single-bank turbocharging (two turbos), DOHC heads and 4-valves per cylinder.
Modifications to the engine include higher boost pressure from the turbochargers, an Akrapovič exhaust system and redesigned pistons to ensure constant power and reliability: the cooling system now uses four quarts oil instead of two as is the case on Quadrifoglio model.

KOM League
Flash Report
for
October 3, 2015
Well, another October has rolled around and only another month remains of an already too long of a baseball season. By this time of the year it is an endurance contest to see who can win it all rather than relying on talent. The bottom feeders of the 40-man rosters will probably determine the North American continent’s baseball championship. .
Now that I have that off my chest here are just a few brief notes for this time around.
Last week’s report was right up there in interest alongside of second division teams playing out their schedule. I was pleasantly surprised that one reader pulled up the photo of the KOM League Barbecue sauce and had a comment. By that I’m positive everything I share is looked at by at least one person. Here is the link to that bottle of good stuff. www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/21114265184/ Aletha Bartley, the widow of the long time Dodger player, manager and scout, Boyd Bartley said this about that photo. “That is the same sauce that Harold was sending Boyd. I still have some of the last that he sent to Boyd. I do not like BBQ sauce but I will never get rid of this one because of who sent it and who received it.”
Ed comment:
Aletha’s brother was Harold Goodman who moved to Ponca City, from Chicago, after Boyd started managing the Class D Brooklyn farm club there. Goodman was the legendary “Lady in the red dress.” The red clad lady was the figment of the imagination of Ponca City announcer, Bill Platt. Platt had started out after WWII at WKY radio in Oklahoma City with a guy named Curt Gowdy. Gowdy was lured to the bright lights of the east coast but Platt stayed in “the real world” and broadcast every manner of sporting event for Oklahoma A & M until the name was changed to Oklahoma State.
During the summer Platt broadcast Ponca City Dodger games from Conoco Stadium during home games and from the studio of WBBZ when the team was on the road. To spice up the broadcasts he would mention, each evening, the lady in the red dress who only attended the road games of the local Dodger club. During the 1952 season Ponca City embarked upon promotion to set the record for the greatest attendance ever attracted to a Class D game. To make a long story shorter, Platt promised that the lady in the red dress would be introduced during the game. He had to come up with some novel and he convinced Harold Goodman to dress in that manner. That stunt was replicated only one other time. It was during the 1998 mega KOM reunion at Carthage, MO.
Oh, by the way. Aletha remarked that she would never depart with that bottle of sauce. Let me share something with the readers. That bottle of ingredients will be “vintage: before long if it isn’t already. Harold Goodman passed away in 2010.
A bit of trivia:
Something that doesn’t occur too often in a baseball season anymore is a straight steal of home. The late Don Anderson who managed Carthage from 1949 through mid-1951 told me that was the easiest of all bases to steal. He did it many times during his tenure with Carthage. I know that one season he had 14 by the All-Star break and would have had more but many of the pitchers balked when they saw him take off and he was thus awarded the base without being given credit for stealing it.
In looking around at some old news files, recently, I came upon an August 24, 1948 clipping which told the story of Chanute shortstop, Kent Pflasterer’s pilferage. Chanute was playing Ponca City and hard throwing Don Hall was on the hill for the Dodger team. Pflasterer stole home on Hall during his first time on base. Before the game concluded Pflasterer got on third base again and stole home once more. I’m sure there are some instances of a player stealing home multiple times in a game but I would imagine that is one that wasn’t replicated often. I’m sure there are major league record books that would reveal such a statistic but I doubt there are few minor league documents that kept track of such a feat. (I imagine if the feat was accomplished at the major league level Shoeless Joe Jackson might have done it. He was adept at that aspect of the game.) By the way, Don Hall didn’t have his best game going the night Pflasterer stole home twice. He also walked eleven batters and hit two.

Death of Calvin Neeman
www.legacy.com/obituaries/belleville/obituary.aspx?n=Calv...
Cal Neeman didn’t play in the KOM league but knew many who did and was a subscribers to the old KOM League Remembered newsletters as well as receiving the Flash Reports for a couple of decades.
When I was writing my book about Mickey Mantle, Neeman was one of his former teammates who made the trip to my home where he was joined by Bob Wiesler, Lilburn Smith, Al Long and Tommy Gott along with Steve Kraly, Cromer Smotherman and Al Billingsly, by telephone, to relive the memories of their 1950 season with the Joplin Miners. The conversation was professionally recorded by an engineer at KFRU radio in Columbia, MO and that conversation, verbatim, became an appendix in “Mickey Mantle Before the Glory.”
For those of you who have a copy of that epic tome the transcription of that conversation is contained on pages 265-306 of the aforementioned book. On page 266 is a photo of Neeman, Gott, Smith, Long and Wiesler standing in my front yard. If you care to know what Neeman had to say about his time with Mantle I would say those 41 pages would be the best source you would be able to locate.
Over the years I’ve stayed in touch with Neeman and it was sad to learn in an e-mail from Jack Morris that yet another link to the past has been severed. Cal told me that when he learned the Yankees weren’t going to promote after a good year at Joplin in 1949 that he was quite unhappy. But, he said as things turned out it was the best thing that ever happened in his career. He thoroughly enjoyed his season with the 1950 Joplin Miners.
Calvin Neeman Sr.
www.legacy.com/obituaries/belleville/obituary.aspx?n=Calv...
Calvin Amandus Neeman Sr., 86, of Lake St. Louis, Mo., formerly of Cahokia, Ill., was called to his Lord and Savior on Thursday, Oct. 1, 2015.
Calvin was born in Valmeyer, Ill., and graduated from Dupo High School. He was most notably recognized as a professional baseball player with the Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates. Cal began his baseball career signing with the New York Yankee's in Joplin, Mo., as an uninvited tryout. He attended Illinois Wesleyan University where he was an acclaimed baseball and basketball player. Later he graduated from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.
He was a Korean War veteran, active in his church and served on numerous local boards. Always the competitor Cal developed a contagious passion for golf which he shared with everyone. He was a teacher, coach, and mentor to many.
While in the Yankee organization he met, married and cherished his lifelong adoration, Mary Ann, nee Minchich, Neeman from Binghamton, N.Y. In their 61 years of marriage they raised five children with a reverence for God and secondary love of family.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Amandus Neeman and Elenore, nee Johanning, Neeman; and an older brother that passed shortly after birth.
Surviving siblings are a brother, Earl (Carolynn) Neeman of Macinaw, Ill., and a sister, Adeline (Al) Ferry of East Carondelet, Ill.
He has five surviving children, all of which cannot adequately articulate their immense love for their father: Calvin and (Carol) Neeman of Waterloo, Ill., Jim and (Sue) Neeman of Freeburg, Ill., Lori and (Louis) Wray of Lake St. Louis, Mo., Susanne (Kevin) Graham of Dardenne Prairie, Mo., and Paul Neeman of Creve Coeur, Mo.
Immeasurably, his positive influence encouraged his six grandchildren: Collin (Jill) Neeman, Jake Neeman, Leslie (Adam) Robertson, Louis C. Wray, Charles Wray, Kevin Graham, and Katelynn Graham.
Visitation: Friends may call from 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4, 2015, at Pitman Funeral Home, 1545 Wentzville Parkway, Wentzville Mo.
Funeral: Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, Oct. 5, 2015, at Living Lord Lutheran Church, 500 Cedar Circle Dr., Lake St. Louis, Mo., with Pastor Roy Christell officiating. Interment will be at Our Lady Cemetery, Lake St. Louis, Mo.

One more thing:
Last week I mentioned Bernie Gerl’s list of fellows from Joliet, IL who played baseball. I meant to say he listed everyone from Joliet who played professional baseball from 1930 to the current time. Instead I put down “who played major league baseball” which is obviously wrong. I’m still in frequent contact with Gerl and he has shared some additional items which are outstanding mementos of the past. I even convinced him into accepting one of my Mantle books in an attempt to compensate him.
I’ve had an order or two for the Mantle book from as far away as Oklahoma City. Of course, I still get requests from people wanting them for free but the time for welfare has come to an end.
It seems as though that Mantle is always brought to my consciousness. I was working outside last week and a fellow working on a roof across the street yelled at me. He told me to tell his partner who his cousin was. Of course, it was a Mantle from the part of the clan who stayed in Missouri when Mickey’s grandparents went to Oklahoma in their covered wagons. I took a photo of Mick’s distant cousin and started to put it on the Flickr site for readers to attempt to guess who the mystery person was kin. But, something arose and I didn’t get around to it.

Flash Report
for
September 28, 2015
Right off the bat:
Probably the best opening sentence found in a Flash Report, in a long while, is that this one is
going to be brief.
For a couple of issue I’ve mentioned Bernie Gerl who got in touch in his attempt to locate a former KOM leaguer who was a teammate of his with Duluth. That person was Dick Getter and the exchange of contact information between the pair has transpired.
In our first conversation Gerl said that he had researched the name of every player to make it to the big leagues from his hometown of Joliet, Ill. from 1930 to the present. He sent me the list and the total was about 90. I looked for some very obscure names and even found Bob Kapinus who pitched for two teams in 1946 before winding up with the Iola Indians. I never found any pitching records for Kapinus but Gerl shows he posted a 4-2 record in his short career. So, if a guy could find that type of information, I’m impressed.
One feature of the packet Gerl sent were some great pictures of him in spring training with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1948, a photo of him and nine of his teammates with the 1950 Montgomery, Ala. Rebels, numerous snapshots of the 1948 bus crash and of him in the hospital, a photo of a very young George Mikan getting Babe Ruth’s autograph at Comiskey Park and a photo taken at Stan Musial’s restaurant when Stan the Man paid tribute to the survivors of the Duluth Dukes at one of their reunions. The only other guy in the photo, other than Gerl and Musia,l was Red Schoendienst’s look-alike brother, Elmer.
If anyone wants to see any of what I’ve briefly described, come by the house for a visit or wait until my wife has my “baseball estate give-away” and you can probably pick up anything for the price of a hard luck story.
In order to have any content for a report this week I’m including a list of former KOM leaguer who played with and against Bernie Gerl in his baseball career. I’m listing the fellows who were his teammates and then those who played against him. If you care to know where the guys played in the KOM you can look up their names at this site. I’ve spent 20 plus years working on it and it might as well be used for something. komleaguebaseball.blogspot.com/2008/01/names.html

A surprise I received in looking at one Duluth roster was to see the name of Lowell Lay. I never knew the former Joplin High School athlete made it to the Northern league. However, he was with Duluth for a while in 1952. For those of you with an Ancestry.com subscription you can click on the following URL and see the Joplin High School yearbook that featured a copy of the Robert S. Thurman American Legion team which featured a number of future professional players. search.ancestry.com//cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=Yearb...
Most of them wound up in the KOM league with the exception of David Johnson
and J. L. ”Duffy” Harbaugh. Those who did were Ed Craig, George Garrison, Eddie Deatherage and Ernie Chastain. So, for you in faraway places who only knew of one guy who played in the KOM league—Mickey Mantle—yes, Lowell Lay played a lot of games against him and some with him in those post-season pick-p games around the area. At last check Lay was living in Wewoka, OK and for those keeping track of old ballplayers he was born in Booneville, Arkansas on December 8, 1931.
Well, that is enough trivia for now.
Some people checked in this week who have been “missing.”
Joe Stanka wrote to let me know that his computer is finally fixed and he is busy reading past Flash Reports. I imagine he’s skimming them but he did note that he read the story carried early this summer on the death of a former Ponca City teammate, Conrad Swensson.
Don Ervin who hold the record for the most home runs in a KOM season wrote that he was “checking in” but didn’t have much to share except that he had seen Bill Virdon around Springfield, MO in recent days/
Sam Dixon reported on his recent bout with dialysis failure. They are giving a biopsy this week to determine the cause of the problem but after a week loss of seven pounds he thinks he has regained it. He says he’s feeling pretty good and the pain he has experienced wouldn’t compare to the many wild pitches he attempted to corral from KOM pitchers over parts or all of five seasons in the league.
If it weren’t for the photos I share of “things” on my Flickr site I wouldn’t hear from many people. I did hear from the Gale Wade and Dick Getter families that they liked the most recent ones posted at this site. www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/
Fran Wagener sent this note from Miami, OK. “I always enjoy your photos, but I especially like the ones of your flowers & great grandchildren. Also thank you for the photos of the Miami Eagles. My father was the business manager. Unfortunately he is no longer with us, but I'm sure he would have enjoyed seeing those pictures.”
Ed note:
Fran’s father was the late Ray Vanderberg. If you ever see my book “The KOM League Remembered” he is on the last page of that yet to be best-seller. If you click on this URL it will take you to the book and you can read a number of pages and if your eyesight is gone, mostly, you can look at some very high quality photos. Please don’t order one of those books for I wouldn’t know what to do with the potential eight-cent royalty I once received as the result of 50 or more sales. Come to think of it I have received a royalty in many years. books.google.com/books?id=2Z1mf1SuUnAC&pg=PA2&lpg...

A reason to keep going
There are a number of former baseball players who stay in touch who never played in the KOM league but their experiences and memories are still the same only about different places and faces.
One of the readers of the Flash Report got in touch last week wondering if I could locate anything on one of his former teammates from the 1952-1954 era with the New York Giants and Cincinnati Reds organizations. Here was his request: “HI JOHN: TRYING TO LOCATE THE STATS OF AN OLD TEAMMATE FROM 1952 AND LATER--BOBBY RICCIANI. HOPE THAT IS RIGHT SPELLING. WE ALSO WERE IN THE CINCY REDS MINOR LEAGUE SYSTEM. YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN THESE MATTERS.
To gain some pity from you I am still battling stage 4 prostate cancer...
THANK YOU SO MUCH OLD EMAIL FRIEND.”
It was pretty easy to “Name That Tune” in two notes. So, I located the fellow’s records and his whereabouts and sent the material to the North Carolina home of the person making the request. This was his response. “Hi John: Thinking of you as I look at all the work you did on Ricciani project! Thanks again! To share with you I am getting quite depressed over my cancer status. It seems hopeless except for God. I waver between hope and no hope . Thoughts of baseball still cheer me a bit. I appreciate all our contacts over the years! God Bless ! Bill

A promise kept:
At the outset I promised a brief report and unlike most politicians, I kept my word.

That photo was some of the best barbecue sauce I ever ate. Bob Dellinger, the former sports editor of the Ponca City News and Daily Oklahoman gave that to me when he was editing my first book. He brought the first bottle to the 1996 KOM league reunion at Pittsburg, Kansas. I offered to share it at a large banquet and when it was returned to my spot at the table, it was empty. He kept me supplied in that good stuff until his death in 1999. I kept those contains and used them as piggy banks. This past week I opened them up and released all those pennies so that I could use them for practical purposes.

Scarborough Castle is a former medieval Royal fortress situated on a rocky promontory overlooking the North Sea and Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. The site of the castle, encompassing the Iron Age settlement, Roman signal station, an Anglo-Scandinavian settlement and chapel, the 12th-century enclosure castle and 18th-century battery, is a scheduled monument of national importance.
Fortifications for a wooden castle were built in the 1130s, but the present stone castle dates from the 1150s. Over the centuries, several other structures were added, with medieval monarchs investing heavily in what was then an important fortress that guarded the Yorkshire coastline, Scarborough's port trade, and the north of England from Scottish or continental invasion. It was fortified and defended during various civil wars, sieges and conflicts, as kings fought with rival barons, faced rebellion and clashed with republican forces, though peace with Scotland and the conclusion of civil and continental wars in the 17th century led to its decline in importance.
Once occupied by garrisons and governors who often menaced the town, the castle has been a ruin since the sieges of the English Civil War, but attracts many visitors to climb the battlements, take in the views and enjoy the accompanying interactive exhibition and special events run by English Heritage.
Scarborough is a town on the North Sea coast of North Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, the town lies between 10–230 feet (3–70 m) above sea level, rising steeply northward and westward from the harbour on to limestone cliffs. The older part of the town lies around the harbour and is protected by a rocky headland.
With a population of just over 61,000, Scarborough is the largest holiday resort on the Yorkshire coast. The town has fishing and service industries, including a growing digital and creative economy, as well as being a tourist destination. People who live in the town are known as Scarborians.
The most striking feature of the town's geography is the high rocky promontory pointing eastward into the North Sea. The promontory supports the 11th-century ruins of Scarborough Castle and divides the seafront into two bays, north and south.
The South Bay was the site of the original medieval settlement and harbour, which form the old town. This remains the main tourist area, with a sandy beach, cafés, amusements, arcades, theatres and entertainment facilities. The modern commercial town centre has migrated 440 yards (400 m) north-west of the harbour area and 100 feet (30 m) above it and contains the transport hubs, main services, shopping and nightlife. The harbour has undergone major regeneration including the new Albert Strange Pontoons, a more pedestrian-friendly promenade, street lighting and seating.
The mechanical reliability of MTA New York City Transit’s fleet of 6,200 subway cars has been a major source of pride for employees. That achievement stems from a simple idea; fix things before they break. That is the philosophy behind the Scheduled Maintenance System (SMS) program developed by the Division of Car Equipment as a way of maintaining the reliability of new subway cars and older subway cars that had gone through the General Overhaul (GOH) program.

BRIEFING WITH LINDA THOMAS-GREENFIELD, ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR AFRICAN AFFAIRS
MODERATOR: So welcome to the New York Foreign Press Center. We’re really honored today to have Assistant Secretary for African Affairs Linda Thomas-Greenfield with us. This is a roundtable on-the-record discussion. It’s also DVCed to Washington --
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: Okay.
MODERATOR: -- so if people have questions from Washington, we’ll bring them in.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: Okay.
MODERATOR: So I know that the assistant secretary is on a tight schedule, so we’ll go ahead and get started. She’ll give a few remarks and then we’ll open it out to your questions. So thank you all for coming and I’ll turn this over to Assistant Secretary Linda Thomas-Greenfield.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: Good. Good evening and let me thank all of you for being here and thank those who are joining us from Washington. This has been a very, very hectic period at UNGA this year. Being here with so many leaders from throughout the African continent has provided us a fantastic opportunity to have a series of bilateral meetings and provide us an opportunity to strengthen our relationships with African heads of state, and I’m pleased that so many of them are here, and we’ve been able to discuss discrete ideas that allow us to collaborate on issues that we’ve worked on in the past, but also to advance our own goals of promoting democracy, peace, and prosperity on the continent. So I’m very excited about the opportunities that I’ve had. We refer to this in Washington as speed dating. Last year, I had – I think, if I recall correctly – 39 bilats during UNGA week. We have not counted yet. I started last week, Friday, and we have been going nonstop since then and it continues for me until Friday.
Just to say there have been a number of very positive developments on the continent of Africa since last year. President Obama’s trip to Kenya and to Ethiopia this summer was a historic trip for many reasons. He opened the Global Entrepreneurship Summit and that gave entrepreneurs from across the globe an opportunity to see Africa at its best, to see Kenya at its best, to seek opportunities to invest on the continent.
The recent reauthorization of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act was a big success and it sent a very strong signal to investors and showed confidence in the possibilities of investing on the continent of Africa. As you know, we had the good fortune of the Gabonese Government hosting the AGOA Forum in Gabon at the end of August and it was quite successful. It was extraordinary that we had members of Congress participate in the forum, and that AGOA is a bipartisan, very widely supported initiative that we have on the continent, and we had several members of Congress at the forum to reflect that view.
Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on the importance of strong democratic institutions and solid performance in the area of governance, which is essential, in our view, to security and prosperity across the continent of Africa. Many African countries will conduct parliamentary elections and presidential elections over the coming months, and certainly quite a few are occurring in 2016. So we will be working with African countries to support on-time, free, peaceful, and fair elections.
The Sustainable Development Goals under discussion here at UNGA remind us of the challenges the continent faces. Africa is the youngest and it is the fastest growing continent. Incomes are rising and the middle class is growing, but Africa will need to generate millions more jobs to sustain its momentum. So to help create these jobs, we’ll continue to work with our partners to build up the investment and entrepreneurship climate and encourage more trade with Africa.
All of our discussions here at UNGA have focused on taking advantage of the progress we’ve made to solve some of the hard problems we will face, and this is the core of our engagement with our African colleagues this week. Of course, there are a number of things happening on the continent right now that has keen interest for us. I’ll look forward to taking your questions. I think in the question and answers we’ll get to those difficult issues, and I’ll be able to address those then.
So thank you very much, and I’m happy to take your questions.
MODERATOR: Yes.
QUESTION: Bingxin Li from People’s Daily, based at the UN. I understand that President Obama initiated the Power Africa strategy several years ago. How is that going on?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: It’s going quite well. The idea was to bring power to Africa. As you know, sometimes I refer to the fact that (inaudible) refer to as the dark continent. What that darkness means is the lack of electricity, and the idea of Power Africa was to bring power to more African homes and more African businesses. We tripled this to bring electricity to at least 60 million new households and businesses and to encourage more companies, as well as other governments, to look at power as a source of prosperity (inaudible) on the continent of Africa.
So (inaudible) I was just meeting with European colleagues, and they’re looking at doing some similar investments on the continent of Africa. And we know that power or energy will be the engine of investment and growth on the continent.
MODERATOR: Yes.
QUESTION: I have half a dozen questions.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: Try one at a time. (Laughter.)
MODERATOR: If everyone could introduce yourself – say your name and news organization.
QUESTION: Right. So I’m Kevin Kelley. I’m based here in New York. I cover the UN for the Nation Media Group in Kenya, which also publishes The East African weekly paper covering the eastern half of the continent. So my questions are mainly about that, not about Kenya per se. I’ll choose the one about the DRC. At the Africa Summit, which is now 14 months ago – President Obama’s summit in Africa --
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: Yes, a little over a year.
QUESTION: Ambassador – yeah, right. Ambassador Feingold was saying it’s urgent that there be action now against the FDLR. Then there was all these complications involving human rights questions and the generals in command. Nothing’s happened as far as anybody can see. What’s the U.S.’s view of what can and should be happening there now?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: Well, first of all, we’re very disappointed that nothing has happened. We think that the parties need to address the FDLR threat in DRC. Commitments were made to the Rwandan Government, as we worked to address the issues related to M23, that once we completed the actions against M23 we would turn to FDLR, and we are still committed to doing that. We’re encouraging all of the parties, including the Government of DRC, MONUSCO, the FB forces, to bring their combined resources together to address the FDLR threat and we continue to push that.
We have named a new special envoy, Tom Perriello, and he has been actively engaged on this issue since taking over his responsibilities about six weeks ago.
QUESTION: Just to --
MODERATOR: And he’ll be here at 4 o’clock today.
QUESTION: Yeah, he’ll be here. Just to follow up on that, can the United States bring pressure to bear on President Kabila? This is the issue. It’s that the UN says we can’t act because of these human rights violations that these generals are at least alleged to have committed. It’s fairly simple, it seems, that if these generals weren’t in command, the UN, the FIB, could act. Is that too simple an analysis?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: It probably is, but I would make those same arguments as well that it ought to be simple to deal with this issue. And it is one that, again, we are working very deliberately and very intensely on, because commitments were made that we would work to address this issue, and we need to get the parties to do it.
QUESTION: Hi, I’m Bukola Shonuga with the African View Network, and I also host a radio program called The African View – and it’s a pleasure to meet you. So with reference to Nigeria within your Administration and in light of the issue of Boko Haram, I was just wondering are there any new efforts form the United States Government to partner with this new administration to combat Boko Haram? And with the 20-some – 200-something girls still missing, so we don’t think they’ll ever find them, so I just wanted you to shed some light on that.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: I hope you’re wrong. I know that their mothers, their parents are still hopeful that some of these girls will be found and brought back to their homes. And we’re not going to give up hope and working with the Nigerian Government and with the families to try to bring as many of them back as we can.
We are working very closely with the Nigerian Government, as we were with the previous government. It is has been made somewhat easier with the current government to work more cooperatively on trying to address the Boko Haram threat. We have provided some assistance and funding to the multinational task force through the AU. They are working to pull together the Lake Chad Basin countries so that they can coordinate their efforts in addressing Boko Haram.
We still continue to cooperate with the Nigerian Government in terms of information sharing as well as training. Our AFRICOM team will be going to Nigeria later in the month to hold discussions on resuming the training that was stopped previously, and we hope to continue to work with the government in a much more positive and proactive way to address what is not just a Nigeria problem. It is a regional problem, and terrorism is a global problem. So we have to work with Nigeria. We cannot leave Nigeria to address this problem alone.
QUESTION: Thank you.
QUESTION: Frank Obimpeh from News Ghana. During your submission, you said that the U.S. is trying to build investment and climate of opportunities for Africans. Now let’s come back to my country, Ghana, whereby while we have a lot of malls – new malls going around, where we have foreign products in the malls. So there is what’s called a tendency of our culture families losing bias or their products. What is the U.S. doing, because the investment are taking jobs from the African and then they becoming poor? What are you doing to overcome?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: Yeah. Well, I think investment can create jobs. So having greater investment in Ghana can create new job opportunities for people in areas that they may not have worked in in the past. But we don’t want to see trade opportunities and business displace people who already have jobs. And it is important that government policies support their own local industry, encourage the local industries. But also the local industries have to be competitive. They have to be able to compete on a global market. They have to be able to compete with the products that are being sold in large department stores if they want to advance.
People – I remember working on a program in Liberia where people were making small products and making additional money, and we talked to them. And they said, oh we were making it before you came and supported our project. We were making about $50 a month, and now we’re making $80 a month. Well, they’re still poor. What we want to do is move people from being the working poor to being the working middle class, so that they can benefit from the investments that are coming from overseas, but also they can take their products and sell their products overseas so that they become part of the working middle class.
So it’s not an easy – the answer is not easy, but it is not about keeping new products from coming into your market. It’s about making the products that are produced in your country more competitive. AGOA offers the opportunity for Ghanaians to import their products to the United States duty-free, and Ghana has taken advantage of that.
QUESTION: Thank you, Ms. Ambassador. I just wanted to thank you for all your work. My name is Garry Iwele. I’m a freelance from DRC. And my question is just about the upcoming election. We know that eight of the – eight of some of the African countries go into the election next year. And the president are trying to run again against the constitution. So we saw it in (inaudible) a bit already; it’s sending people to the referendum. And now there is a piece of legislation in DRC under the table trying to do the same thing. I mean, my question is this: What you’re doing as U.S. Government? We know that you are the biggest partner in Africa. What are you doing to push those presidents to not try to run again –
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: Our policy – yeah.
QUESTION: -- when the constitution does not allow them?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: Yeah, our policy is very clear on that. We do not support countries changing their constitutions to change term limits to benefit the incumbent who is currently serving in office. People can change their constitutions; that’s their right. But when the constitutions are changed just to support the incumbent, it sends a message that people don’t want to leave power. And Africa has gone through many generations of presidents for life, and we believe in a true democracy, transitions actually work. We think transitions contribute to stability. There are a number of countries in Africa that have had elections and transitions, and they’ve worked. Nigeria is our most recent example where it has worked.
So we are engaging with these governments to discourage their efforts to change constitutions. We are working closely with the regional organizations, with the African Union, with ECOWAS, and other regional organizations, to gain their support in pushing for this. ECOWAS, for example, has been looking at an agreement that would limit terms to two terms in ECOWAS countries. And actually, they went quite far, except two countries declined to agree. But I think it’s something they’re still working on.
People support democracy. Africans line up to vote like no other countries in – that I’ve seen in the world. And when they – when African people are given the opportunity in their individual countries to express their will at the ballot box, they do it. They do it enthusiastically. And so we want to support those efforts, and we are very clear on our policy. No country gets a pass on this. We raise it with every country where we see there are issues. And we certainly have had that discussion with DRC, with Republic of Congo, with Rwanda, and with Burundi, even though they did succeed in pushing forward an election that we believe was not transparent, that led to the president being elected for a third term against their constitution.
QUESTION: Hi, I just wanted to go back to the AGOA issue. I mean, in Africa, across the world, youth employment continues to be a major issue. And in Nigeria 60 percent of the youth are unemployed, according to the recent presentation by President Buhari. I was just wondering, how does AGOA translate into job gain for the youth in – across Africa?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: Yeah. We believe, actually, AGOA creates jobs both in Africa and in the United States because it allows for increased export products that are produced in your countries that are allowed into the U.S. duty-free. And so it does create jobs. But ultimately what will create jobs in Africa is investments in Africa, more companies creating opportunities for jobs, better education for young people so that they are qualified for the many job opportunities that will open up. The situation in Nigeria exists across the continent, where you have populations that are very, very young, and they need to be supported.
We have an initiative called the Young African Leaders Initiative, or the Washington Mandela Fellowship Program, where over the past two years we’ve brought 500 a year young people across the continent. Next year we will be bringing 1,000. They do a six-week leadership program at a major university in the United States and then they have a one-week summit in Washington in which President Obama and senior leaders across the U.S. Government participate. The first year of this program, when we were only choosing 500, we had 50,000 completed applications. There is intense desire, there is intense hunger on the continent of Africa by young people to get the tools that they need to be successful in the future.
So this is a challenge for African governments. It is a challenge for them to figure out how they engage with their young people, how they support their young people, and what tools they give to them so that they are able to be successful in the future. Some countries have raised questions about the Young African Leaders Initiative. I had one country suggest to us that we were brainwashing Africa’s young. And my response to that is you should not be worried about the U.S. brainwashing your young; you should be worried about Boko Haram brainwashing your young, you should be worried about al-Shabaab brainwashing your young, you should be worried about ISIL brainwashing your young.
What we’re trying to do is give them the tools so that they can be successful in the future, they can hone the leadership skills they already have to contribute to their governments. And what we’ve seen so far with the 1,000 who have gone through this program is they will be great in the future, whether they are great teachers, university professors, businesspeople, politicians. Whatever field of endeavor they’re involved in, they’re going to be good. And we’ve given them just a little bit more in terms of leadership tools to sharpen their skills to help them be successful in the future.
QUESTION: Thank you.
QUESTION: Do you know if any private sector initiative, for instance, that could facilitate funding for the private sector in Africa that are trying to create employment for these – because the programs for the most part on the U.S. – from the U.S. side is government – government initiatives. But we feel that private sector is actually more powerful or maybe just as powerful.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: Well, we certainly work very closely with the private sector, and in terms of promoting the capacity of businesses in Africa – when I was in Nigeria, I visited a company that was being run by a young woman that produced animal feed, and she had been a Young African Leader, a Mandela Washington Fellow, and her – she got a small grant from the African Development Foundation, used that grant to improve the packaging for her products, and her products are competing with products that are coming from overseas. And she’s doubled the number of employees in a very short, short period of time.
So sometimes it just is small investments. Similar to what is being done by the African Development Foundation, USAID supports capacity building for small companies. We have trade hubs that are in Ghana and in Kenya that support businesses that want to do business with the United States. So there are many opportunities there, but there’s – the challenges are huge and it’s going to take a lot more effort on all of our parts.
QUESTION: Thank you.
MODERATOR: We only have time for a couple of questions, so maybe Kevin and then we want to give PK a chance.
QUESTION: Okay, thanks a lot. So I’ll combine two into one, and they both relate to President Obama’s initiative regarding peacekeeping the other day. So – and the British prime minister announced that they’re going to send troops to Somalia and Sudan. Would the United States consider doing that? Specifically also, there’s always complaints by AMISOM and others that they lack airpower especially to combat Shabaab. The United States has engaged with airpower in Somalia, but could you do more? Could you supply helicopters, transport planes? And the same – in the same vein, with South Sudan, would the United States consider sending peacekeeping troops to South Sudan?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: I think on the – to answer your last question first, it is not something that we normally do, but we do support peacekeeping efforts quite extensively. We’re the largest funder of peacekeeping. And through our Africa training initiative, we’ve trained more than 250,000 African peacekeepers and we will continue those efforts to train. In addition to training them, we equip them. And we have provided them with airpower, and we’re looking at how we can provide additional enablers such as air to Ugandan and Kenyan and Ethiopian troops in Somalia. We’re working very, very closely with the AMISOM troops in Somalia in terms of helping to build up the capacity of the Somali national army. So we’re there as well, working to support the efforts of peacekeeping.
We were very pleased by the results of the peacekeeping conference. There were huge commitments that were made. The next step is to get those commitments honored. But again, I think this was responded to in a very serious way. And we look forward to working with these governments, particularly for myself on the continent of Africa, where we’ve had African countries that have very, very graciously and generously contributed to peacekeeping.
QUESTION: But the United States would not send troops to South Sudan?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: I – it’s not something that I’m aware that we have considered. But I certainly know that we will support the efforts.
QUESTION: I’d like to ask something regarding health in Africa. I’m from Ghana. Ebola never got to Ghana thankfully. And one of the things that Ebola exposed was the health structures in Africa. I’m sure you’re aware of this. In the aftermath of Ebola, if I could say that there still nothing has been done – I can speak for Ghana. And I know that the U.S. is a major contributor in terms of resources and personnel to the health systems in Africa. Do you ever get tired that you do all these things and African governments don’t respond – (laughter) – and do the updates? I mean, are you impressing on them to do something actually on the ground?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: Yeah. I never get tired. (Laughter.) No, let me be clear. We have worked with governments, and a lot has been done. We have signed an agreement with the African Union to help them to develop a center for disease control, an African center for disease control. CBC has also worked with African governments to support their efforts to address responses to infectious diseases. And in the case of Nigeria, where we did have Ebola cases, the Nigerians were able to control this because they had an effective CBC-like operation that they had worked over many years to develop. And we’re working with Ghana as well on developing that capacity.
Still, there’s tremendous additional effort that will be required in terms of building Africa’s health infrastructure. What Ebola showed us is that infrastructure is extraordinarily fragile and any infectious disease that occurs on the continent can really force a total collapse. And we saw that collapse take place in the three Ebola countries. So we are more than engaged on trying to address these issues across the continent, because you can’t do it just in one country. You have to work in all the countries to ensure that any type of infectious disease doesn’t go – doesn’t cross borders, because they don’t recognize borders. And we certainly saw that in the case of Ebola.
But we’ve had Ebola-like diseases in Central Africa for many, many years, and it’s been kept under wraps. So there are – there is some progress being made, but I agree with you: A lot more needs to be done. But we can’t get tired, because if we get tired, we will be defeated. And I’m not prepared and I don't think our Center for Disease Control that is intensely engaged in this – that any of us are prepared to declare defeat at this point.
MODERATOR: I understand the Assistant Secretary is on a really tight schedule and I’ve been asked to go ahead and end the briefing. Thank you so much for coming. We’re so happy to have you, and it’s been a wonderful discussion.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY THOMAS-GREENFIELD: Thank you very much. And thanks to all of you.
