Females join ring at new Zoppe Circus show

For families like the Zoppes, the circus isn’t just a way to make a living. It is part of their identities.
The Zoppe family’s circus, in its 177th year, will make its annual visit to Chandler from Thursday, Dec. 26, to Sunday, Jan. 5.
Seven generations of the family have been part of Zoppe: An Italian Family Circus.
The family circus was started in Italy in 1842 by French clown Napoline and Hungarian equestrian ballerina Ermenegilda and was moved to the United States by equestrian Alberto Zoppe in the 1940s.
Throughout the circus’ history, matriarchs have played a strong role in keeping the family tradition alive. Emma Zoppe was especially instrumental in making sure the circus survived through tough times of famine and war.
In honor of Emma Zoppe, the family circus will be presenting a new show entitled “La Nonna,” a term used for a grandmother in Italian.
Giovanni Zoppe, a sixth-generation circus performer and family circus’ director, said the new show is centered around and showcases the talent of female performers. Around 80% of the cast is made up of female performers from around the globe.
In each generation, one family member has really taken the reigns of leading the family circus. Emma was this person during the 1920s to the 1940s, and her son Alberto took over after her.
“This truly is a celebration of her life. This show is about the strength, power and beauty of all women, the Zoppe women in particular,” Giovanni said.
Giovanni hopes the show will empower women and promote tolerance of others and equal treatment of people from different backgrounds.
“The circus has always been an equal-opportunity employer because we’ve always accepted everybody,” he said. “No matter what country you are from, what color you are, what race you are, what religion you are, everybody’s always accepted.”
Giovanni said Emma endured a lot in her life, but remained dedicated to the circus. When the circus was bombed, she watched helplessly as the animals died.
“My grandmother was in tears, on her knees crawling back to the show,” Giovanni said. “Our animals are our lives for circus people. It’s what we live for—our animals.”
Giovanni said she is a testament to the strength of the Zoppe family’s strong women.
“The show collapsed multiple times, and she would always bring it back,” Giovanni said.
Like men in the show, female performers have always taken on different roles, including helping to set up and take down the tent.
“The women don’t just walk in a ring and take a bow. They also drive the stakes, put the tent up, help to drive. The women do everything on our show,” Giovanni said.
Now, Giovanni, his sisters Tosca and Carla and their spouses have been upholding the family tradition with clown, equestrian and dog acts, respectively.
During the shows, Giovanni plays an Auguste-style clown named Nino. Within this role, he showcases his circus skills it includes trying to take the attention away from other performers.
“You’re not supposed to play with other people’s props in the circus. That’s rule No. 1, but I always did,” Giovanni said.
This year, he will be play opposite a Russian-inspired babushka character named Natasha Vodkavitch, portrayed by ringmistress Aimee Klein.
Giovanni brings a Venetian comedic style of clowning known as Commedia dell’arte, and Klein plays the more serious clown to his fool.
This is the first time the family circus has had a ringmistress.
The show will also be breaking new ground with female-centered acts developed or reworked specifically for the show.
Audiences will have a chance to see the Zingara Riders, an all-female group of Cossack trick riders. This Russian style of riding is fast-paced and dangerous.
“These women are jumping on and off and doing incredible feats and going underneath the belly of a horse,” Giovanni said.
The circus will also showcase an all-female group of flyers from the Santos family, another multigenerational circus family. For the first time, 6-year-old twin sisters Alice and Elise Santos will perform the Perch Pole Act.
The show will have performances of Mongolian contortionism and an aerial act with two sisters performing on a lyra apparatus.
It took some time to find the right performers and develop new acts for this show.
Giovanni’s daughter Chiara,16, played a key role in writing and directing the show.
Giovanni hopes she and her brother Julien, a 10-year-old clown, will continue the family’s circus tradition, but he isn’t pressuring them.
“If the next generation wants it. I don’t want to force any generation to do it, but if they really like to do it,” Giovanni said. “My daughter is really showing a lot of promise…I have a strong feeling she’s going to be a huge part of what we are doing here in the future.”
The show will have a similar intimate feel as others presented by the family circus. The audiences are no more than 20 feet from the action, and their senses are all engaged, especially when the horses are running around the ring.
Giovanni, his sisters, their spouses and his children are part of an extended circus family including the other performers. Each year in Chandler, they set up and fill stockings and hold a Christmas dinner inside of the ring.
Giovanni grew up learning bareback riding, clowning, juggling and trapeze arts his father and other performers from the time he was young. He can’t imagine another life than the one he lives.
“I don’t know what a stationary life is. Normal life to me is what I am doing,” Giovanni said.
During the Chandler engagement, members of the circus will be doing a three-day circus camp from Monday, December 30, to Thursday, January 2, where children ages 7 to 13 can learn low wire performing, balancing, clowning, jugging.
Giovanni said the circus school not only teaches children circus skills but helps to instill confidence in them.
“When they are in that ring that last day, they just really shine like crazy,” Giovanni said.

Alvaro Uribe: The Most Dangerous Man in Colombian Politics

No other political figure is as polarizing in Colombia as ex-president Alvaro Uribe. President from 2002 to 2010, Uribe used U.S. aid under Plan Colombia to strengthen Colombia’s state capacity. He utilized the military’s newfound strength to push the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) out of towns and cities and back into the jungle.[i] By the end of Uribe’s presidency, the number of FARC combatants had declined from 20,000 to 8,000 and the National Liberation Army’s (ELN) numbers had halved from 3,500 to 1,500. Because of this success, many Colombians saw Uribe as a national hero, with many claiming he was the best president Colombia has ever had.[ii] For many, Uribe brought stability and normality back to Colombia. The increased security boosted the economy, attracting foreign direct investment and encouraging economic development. Upon leaving office, Uribe enjoyed an approval rating of 75 percent and would have easily won a third term if the Supreme Court had allowed it. [iii]
Yet, such achievements and admiration have blinded many Colombians to Uribe’s shortcomings. His administration was riddled with secret wiretapping, corruption, blatant support of right-wing paramilitaries and severe human rights abuses.
Under Uribe’s leadership, the Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad (DAS), a national security branch of the government, became a political tool through which the president conducted secret wiretaps to spy on opponents.[iv] In 2015, two of his former aides were sentenced to prison for intercepting calls on judges, members of the opposition, and journalists from 2007 to 2009.[v] Even more importantly, his former chief of staff was sentenced to eight years in prison, while the head of the Colombian intelligence agency was sentenced to 14 years on charges of wiretapping.[vi] The corruption of DAS ran so deep that its practices are still being investigated and in September 2017, Jorge Noguera Cotes, the ex-director of DAS, was sentenced to jail for conducting secret wiretaps from 2002 to 2005.[vii] Still, Uribe claims that his only crime was defending Colombia from attacks by leftist terrorists.[viii]
Aside from this, several of Uribe’s ministers have been sentenced on charges of corruption. His former interior and social protection ministers were sentenced to more than six years for bribing lawmakers to support re-election.[ix] Andres Felipe Arias, Uribe’s agriculture minister, was arrested in 2011 on similar charges.[x] With the Odebrecht scandal in early 2017, where a Brazilian construction company was discovered to have used political bribery to secure over 100 projects in 12 countries, Uribe’s minister of transport was found guilty of corruption and is now in prison. Another prominent scandal involved the Agro Ingreso Seguro Fund. While supposedly created to provide funds to labor workers in order to stimulate the small scale farming, it acted as an embezzlement scheme through which millions of dollars were instead allocated to wealthy landowning families.[xi]
Arguably, an even more serious concern about Uribe’s actions is his administration’s ties to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC), a right-wing paramilitary coalition with the primary goal of fighting against the leftist insurgency groups in Colombia and a designated terrorist group by the U.S. government as of 2001. This group is responsible for the largest number of human rights abuses in the conflict, including kidnapping, extortion, murder, and rape, even when considering the abuses committed by FARC and ELN.[xii]
Many of Uribe’s own close relatives have been imprisoned on charges for supporting paramilitaries, including Uribe’s own brother. In 2016, Santiago Uribe was arrested for establishing a paramilitary group called the Twelve Apostles in the 1990s. Though Alvaro Uribe has not been implicated himself, the fact that many of the group’s meetings occurred at their family ranch and that Alvaro Uribe was governor of the region at the time makes it unlikely that he was uninvolved in the group. Another troubling connection to paramilitaries was the 2002 counterinsurgency push in Medellin, led by Mario Montoya, Uribe’s defence minister at the time. According to a CIA report, this operation relied heavily on the AUC and Montoya planned the operation ith AUC commander Fabio Jaramillo.[xiii] The paramilitaries’ connection to the Uribe administration is deep as well; over 150 members of congress were investigated for collusion with paramilitaries, and many of those convicted were members of Uribe’s political coalition.[xiv]
Furthermore, Uribe was the architect of Colombia’s Justice and Peace law, which aimed to demobilize paramilitary groups and to hold them accountable for their actions. The law was highly criticized by international human rights experts because in practice, it granted paramilitaries with de facto amnesty.[xv] The failure of the law to outline a substantive transition and judicial system for paramilitaries led to the emergence of BACRIM, large drug trafficking organizations that are mainly led by ex-AUC members. The presence of these groups still constitutes one of the biggest threats to Colombia’s security. [xvi]
In addition to the corruption, Colombia suffered some of its most egregious human rights abuses during Uribe’s presidency. Among these abuses were the extrajudicial killings of thousands of FARC combatants, as well as the “false positives” scandal in which Colombia’s military forces killed at least 5,000 civilians, dressed them as guerrillas, and gained bonuses from the government.[xvii] The extreme militarization of the country, supported by the U.S. government, led to the displacement of millions of people from vulnerable communities. This escalation of violence and militarization of the country also led to the murder of hundreds of trade unionists, journalists, and human rights defenders at the hands of government forces, paramilitaries, and FARC.[xviii]
More specifically, this militarization also had particularly severe impacts on Colombia’s most marginalized communities. Women suffered from increased rates of sexual violence, exploitation, and abuse.[xix] Indigenous groups and Afro Colombians, the most marginalized communities in Colombian society, suffered the worst effects of the conflict, many of them being forcibly displaced from their lands and then further subjected to violence and discrimination. All of this shows that even though Uribe’s policies ultimately led to the greater stability of the Colombia, this stability came at a great cost to Colombia’s most vulnerable people.
Uribe left office in 2010 and by 2012, his successor; President Juan Manuel Santos had already begun secret negotiations with FARC. This is when Uribe inserted himself back into Colombian politics, openly opposing the negotiations and refusing to attend the peace talks after repeated invitations, asserting that FARC should not be talked to since they are narco-terrorists, not insurgents.[xx][xxi]
When the peace deal agreement was signed in 2016, Uribe continued to oppose it, effectively leading the “No” campaign on the referendum, which won with a 50.2% majority. Though the victory does represent the stark polarization in Colombian politics, the “No” campaign’s win can be partially attributed to misinterpretations, rumours, and lies propelled by Uribe and his team. Some interpretations and scare tactics involved the belief that Colombia would become the new Venezuela, that pensioners would have to give up a percentage of their pensions to help the demobilization, and that there would be absolute amnesty for all crimes committed by FARC.[xxii] Uribe himself argued that once the ex-guerrillas entered politics, Colombia would end up with a left-wing dictatorship, and that FARC would be allowed to keep their illicit profits.[xxiii]
After defeating the peace agreement, Uribe agreed to attend the renegotiations. This new agreement was passed by congress in late 2016 and is in its early stages of implementation despite many delays and persistent mistrust between most Colombians and FARC. Still, President Uribe and his supporters in congress continue to oppose the deal outright. On the eve of Pope Francis’ visit to Colombia during which he sought to build support for the continuation of the peace process, Uribe drafted a letter to the Pope in which he continued to express his disdain regarding the political participation by FARC, the transitional justice system/reduced sentences, and “impunity for atrocious crimes.”
Uribe’s persistent opposition to the peace process represents his identity as a military hard-liner who would prefer to pursue an unconditional surrender rather than a negotiated peace. His claims that the agreement grants impunity and a free pass to war criminals are unfounded and hypocritical, especially since Uribe’s own Peace and Justice Law actually did grant impunity to war criminals. Unlike the Justice and Peace Law, the peace agreement establishes a transitional justice system, explicitly outlining the terms through which some ex-combatants can receive amnesty for minor crimes. Those guilty of crimes against humanity, sexual violence, and other serious crimes will receive appropriate punishments, ranging from restricted liberty to 20 years in prison. These terms were very controversial among the Colombian public, and after the failure of the referendum, these punishments were further tightened.
Despite the continued controversy surrounding these punishments, Uribe’s claims that the peace agreement grant impunity and lack justice for victims are not valid. Given that the peace agreement is widely supported by the International Criminal Court, the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights, the OAS, and many more NGOs, Uribe’s claims have even less legitimacy. The above groups represent the ideas of the staunchest defenders of human rights and justice in the world and they consider the Colombian peace agreement to be one of the most progressive ever negotiated. If Uribe’s claims had any truth, then there would be more international opposition to the agreement.
Instead, Uribe’s opposition to the agreement likely lies in more personal and political reasons. Uribe comes from a large landowning family whose holdings have historically been threatened by FARC. They killed his father in a kidnapping attempt in 1983, and he himself was almost assassinated by them at his inauguration in 2002. His personal hatred of them, his interests as a landowner, and his political ambitions influenced him to commit and be associated with very serious atrocities in the name of counter terrorism and counter narcotics. As a result, many of Uribe’s close family members and ministers have been jailed on charges of corruption and collusion with paramilitaries. In this context, Uribe has good reason to oppose the agreement. As a member of the conservative oligarch class, Uribe would not be interested in seeing any kind of land reform program, including the rather modest one proposed by the peace agreement. Politically, the influx of leftist ex-guerrillas in government and in the voting base weakens his own party base, especially when considering the hatred that members of FARC have towards Uribe. Exploiting the reservations of many Colombians towards the peace agreement by inciting fear and ignorance also places him and his party in a favourable position ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
More seriously, the testimonies of paramilitaries, ex-guerrillas, and members of the military under the transitional justice system would lead to more scrutiny of Uribe.[xxiv] This, coupled with public speculation that Uribe should stand trial at the Hague for crimes against humanity would put Uribe in a precarious position and would further threaten his legacy. Uribe seems to be cognisant of this fact, and by extension opposes the measure to include members of the military in the transitional justice system, justifying their actions by stating, “We consider it unfair to submit them [the military] to the FARC justice, equalling them with the members of this group and exposing them to recognize crimes not committed to avoid jail time. Colombia has had a democracy affected by narco terrorism, not a dictatorship confronted by armed civilians.”
In sum, while President Uribe is credited with the stability and security of Colombia, this security came at a great cost to civilians and represented many gross violations of human rights and ethical governance. Uribe continues to be one of Colombia’s biggest obstacles to achieving peace, opposing the peace process under the cover of patriotism. In reality, his opposition is likely much more personally motivated and instead reflects the will of wealthy landowners and established elites.
With the elections coming up in 2018, understanding Uribe’s failures will be incredibly important. Between 12 and 22 percent of Colombians say they would vote for whatever candidate Uribe puts forward, and with the abysmal approval rating of the Santos Administration, Uribe and his new conservative coalition could very well decide the next president of Colombia.[xxv] For this reason, it is important to understand that ex-president Alvaro Uribe is a dangerous leader for Colombia and for Latin America, and that his leadership could roll back years of Colombia’s progress.

The "Sorry" singer was surrounded by a young crowd, who were also eagerly singing and dancing away. “Nothing more fun/cool than praising our God,” Bieber captioned the video. Nothing more fun/cool.


Many years ago a friend and I were discussing our sporting affiliations – the teams we follow and the colours we wear.
He reminded me of a comment that goes back generations; a father telling his son to “be very careful who you choose, it will be with you for the rest of your life.”
On October 31st 2010 I was sitting in Wembley Stadium, London, wearing the red and gold colours of the American Football team the San Francisco 49ers.
Wembley is around 400 miles from my Prestwick home on the west coast of Scotland, but that's a walk to the end of my street compared to the 5000+ miles of travel required to get to the 49ers true home.
But I've been lucky enough to make that trip too, on a number of occasions.
But why? As a Scot, there must be more obvious sporting choices, surely?
I’m a supporter and follower of our national football (soccer) and rugby teams, and lived through the little moments of glory and the many – and I mean many – embarrassing defeats (a Scottish tradition).
National support is almost a given; most sports fans follow their national teams.
There are always exceptions to the expected sporting rules however.
For example I was born and bred in Ayrshire, the heart of links golf country, yet have no interest in playing the game. I’m with Mark Twain – it spoils a good walk.
But as regards being a true supporter of a given club or sporting franchise “the rest of your life” statement is a truism that has been proven time and again.
The bond between supporter and team can be as strong as family or friendships.
It can affect you emotionally, physically, mentally and definitely financially.
It may also provide incredible life-highs and forgettable lows, except you never truly forget the lows.
That’s all part of the emotional investment.
And that emotional investment took me to Wembley Stadium on October 31st 2010. Halloween night.
The Trick I was trying to pull off was the rare Treat of a San Francisco victory in a regular season game, something that had not exactly dominated 49ers game reports in the half dozen years or so prior to the Wembley expedition.
The game itself was the fourth annual NFL International Series fixture, a very well received event.
Although this particular 49ers home game didn’t involve over 10,000 miles of round travel it was still quite a cost in time, scheduling and money.
But I wouldn’t have been anywhere else on the planet that evening.
There are tens of thousands of Gridiron fans in the UK with passionate support for teams that are thousands of miles away, but for me it could only ever have been San Francisco.
And those red and gold ties binding me to the team and City by the Bay are based on what some will see as extraordinary mental and emotional connections...
As a child San Francisco and the Bay Area of California fascinated me.
I started to recognise landmarks and even streets of the city from reading about the area and watching TV programmes, holiday documentaries, movies etc.
Many can make the same sort of associations with a chosen locale, but this was a very strong affinity and familiarity. A number of recognitions were even intuitive, rather than via film or book.
Originally my favourite sport was, unsurprisingly, British football (soccer); I follow the Scottish Football League team Kilmarnock (from Ayrshire) and the English club Tottenham Hotspur, more commonly known as Spurs (based in north London).
The Kilmarnock connection is not overly surprising when you understand that I’m an Ayrshire boy born and bred, but how those footballing choices actually came about I'll touch on later.
By the mid-‘70s one of my favourite TV programmes was World of Sport.
Heavily biased towards British football, as would be expected, it did however feature many other sports including highlights from each year's American Football Super Bowl.
To a mid-teen who had never witnessed the game before it was like watching a modern-day gladiatorial combat; I was hooked from the first deep pass, darting run and helmet removing tackle.
But I didn’t associate with any of the teams.
Flash forward to 1982 and British television starts running a seasonal programme on Channel 4 featuring NFL football highlights, including live coverage of the Super Bowl.
I pick up on the fact there’s a team in San Francisco and before I know a thing about them, before I know if they are genuine challengers or perennial bottom feeders, I’ve pinned my colours to the mast, based on a familiarity and fondness for their home city (even though I had yet to visit the area).
When I watched those Super Bowl highlights in the mid to late ‘70s, the 49ers weren’t close to being a contender. Hence why I didn’t then associate the San Francisco team or city with American Football.
But it was very different in the 1980s. They won the 1981 season’s Super Bowl and would win another three in the next eight years.
By the mid-‘80s I was also hooked on the game itself and became as passionate about the sport as the team I supported. I played for the Ayr (subsequently Kilmarnock & Loudoun) Burners in the Pro-Am British American Football League for four years before coaching our under-18 team for another two.
In 1987 I made the first of two '80s trips to San Francisco for what are best described as football vacations. They were followed by a number of trips in the 1990’s and beyond with my then-partner now wife Anne who, at one time, lived in the Bay Area.
My first trip to the Bay Area and San Francisco certainly seemed to prove my (affinity) point.
‘Strangers in a strange town’ should have been an apt phrase, considering neither my friend John McGuigan or I had been to the United States before (John is another gridiron fan and supporter of the Tennessee Titans, although at that time the franchise was still the Houston Oilers).
Blind leading the blind? Should have been, but once we entered the city proper I immediately felt ridiculously comfortable – we had the usual street maps and tourist guides but I don’t recall using one.
I instinctively knew where to go or which direction to head to get to a specific place.
Before someone shouts “reincarnation!” I must state for the record I don’t believe in such transference of soul theories but do, however, believe there is a lot more to remote viewing (past, present and future) and ancestral memory than meets the mind. But that would be a whole other Muirsing.
Because of my affinity to the Bay Area I also find myself following the results of other teams from the area, such as the Stanford Cardinal college football team.
Interestingly, my wife Anne had danced at Stanford University in the mid-'80s (during half-time at an East v. West college Shrine game) as part of a Highland Dance troupe.
Not so much California coincidences as further connections.
The best example though is the San Francisco Giants, even although I am no great fan of baseball.
As I was writing this article, the Giants were celebrating their first World Series victory as a San Francisco franchise. I wish I could have been part of the celebrations but that’s the call of the area, not the sport.
Sporting affiliations closer to home were certainly not chosen through any affinity with the town of Kilmarnock or the city of London.
Kilmarnock are an Ayrshire team but the reason I started to follow them was because throughout Primary (pre-teens) School a classmate of mine was Andrew MacLeod, son of the late Alistair ‘Ally’ MacLeod, then manager of Ayr United. Kilmarnock’s local rival.
But my support for 'Killie' wasn’t through any dislike of Andrew or his dad. Far from it.
Andy and I were good friends at school but I could never get my head round the number of classmates and other school kids who were suddenly Ayr United supporters every Parents Day when Ally MacLeod made an appearance.
Never one to tow the party line, I made my decision, one specific Parents Day, to tell Ally just who I supported when I wandered up to say hello.
“Are you an Ayr supporter too, son?”
“Nope, Kilmarnock.”
I was 10, I remember as if it was yesterday and can still see his face even now.
As the years progressed I went from fan to supporter to season ticket holder.
These days I just take in a game or three every season. The Scottish game and sexy Ayrshire football (can you smell the stench of sarcasm?) are not what they used to be.
Tottenham Hotspur actually started around six months before the Kilmarnock choice.
The BBC’s Match of the Day programme was big news for kids wanting to see the best football in the country and the top English league provided the best action and quality (and still does, whether those of us North of the Border choose to admit it or not).
While most of my friends or school mates supported the likes of Liverpool, Leeds United and Manchester United (due in part to the large numbers of Scottish players each team had in their ranks) I, typically, wasn’t going to follow fashion...
Alan Gilzean, a great Scottish striker of the late-‘60s and mid-‘70s, was one of my favourite players.
Gilzean played for Tottenham, having moved to Spurs from Dundee; I started to look for Spurs results.
Meanwhile Blue Peter, a hugely popular children’s TV show, was at its peak. My favourite presenter of the show was Peter Purves.
During the last show before Christmas the presenters always did an exchange of presents; one of the presents Peter Purves received was a Tottenham Hotspur mug.
That was good enough for me. If Peter Purves endorsed Spurs, so did I.
That was 1970. I started to follow the club at the start of the next season.
By the 1990's I was an active member of one of the Supporters Associations, but these days I’m what would be described as an armchair supporter.
White Hart Lane, the home of Tottenham Hotspur, is about 400 miles down the road from me but London is fairly accessible by car, train, bus or plane should I choose to visit The Lane.
But in October 2010 I chose to visit London because the San Francisco 49ers were in town and, as already mentioned, I'd previously taken a number of journey's across the pond to coincide with 49ers football.
And the trips to Candlestick Park were always part of the vacations, whether the 49ers were Super Bowl bound or heading for the bottom of their division.
The flags sport the logo of the 'home team' at Wembley NFL games but every one of
the 32 teams has representation from the fans wearing the colours of their favourites.
As the years progressed and I became more familiar with the team, the players, their history and the city that hosts them, I started to keep in touch with the franchise.
I wrote to some of the staffers as well as some of the coaches, wishing them the best for the coming season. For personal reasons, two of those contacts deserve special mention...
Edward ‘Eddie’ DeBartolo, Jr. was the 49ers owner from 1977 to 2000.
He was, along with offensive coaching genius, the late Bill Walsh, the man most responsible for building the team into the dominant franchise they became for around 15 years.
I wrote to him in the late-‘80s and was pleasantly surprised when he replied personally.
We continued our communications for around a decade.
Dwight Clark was a premier receiver for the club in the 1980's and was retained by the club as a team executive for a few years after he hung up his helmet in 1987.
We corresponded for a time and he was my biggest influence as regards how to play receiver and, possibly more importantly, how to play the game.
In 1992 I fully intended to take another trip over and had mentioned this to Dwight Clark who was hopeful we could hook up on that particular visit.
Sadly it never materialised as my dad became terminally ill the same year and died that August.
I had of course cancelled all holiday plans and threw a short note together to both Eddie DeBartolo and Dwight Clark explaining the situation.
I received a reply from both, with Dwight Clark’s being especially sincere and thoughtful.
It was unexpected but greatly appreciated that two people, with a lot more on their minds than one supporter 5000 miles away, would take the time to respond and in the manner they did.
My dad was old school; a gentleman who put manners and respect ahead of any other trait.
He would have approved of their actions.
Unlike yours truly, my dad loved golf and once he retired was hardly off his local course.
He took me out with him when I was younger but I had very little interest.
It did lead to an interesting end to his invites for me to join him on the course, back when I was playing American Football.
One particular morning he asked if I fancied playing nine holes before I headed to football training in the afternoon.
“Sure” I said, “If you put some kit on and assist in 45 minutes tackling practice.”
“See you at dinner tonight” was the smart reply.
We did however have a mutual respect and understanding of the passion we each had for our chosen ball game. I caddied for him on occasion and he attended a number of Burners home games.
He also watched a lot of 49ers games with me and became a fan of the team, becoming quite the expert on many of the players, what a play-action pass was and when best to run a naked bootleg.
This article may be predominately red and gold within its black and silver text (quite the irony if you know your Bay Area football), but it has as much to do with the bond between supporter and his or her chosen team as it does the 49ers. There is therefore no place for the names of the great players past and present, favourite games, or the significant highs and lows.
That would be better suited for discussion with other like-minded supporters, fan forums or Bay Area football journalists.
And those sorts of discussions, in recent years, have more times than not been negative, critical or pretty damn depressing.
Bad management and bad management decisions, coaching conveyor belts, players let go that should have been retained, players drafted that flattered to deceive or should never have been drafted in the first place, no consistency on the park or on the sidelines…
It’s not been an easy road for the 49ers faithful in recent years.
But that road still led to Wembley Stadium on October 31st 2010.
Where I was wearing the colours of the American Football team the San Francisco 49ers.
Watching a team who were 1-6 and who could have conceivably gone 1-7.
49ers football, baby.

As a youth, Tim Wilson loved to jump over benches and other obstacles in his way.
Thursday, the Lafayette Jeff senior begins his quest to return to the state finals in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles at the Lafayette Jeff Sectional track and field meet. Wilson is the top seed and defending sectional champion in both hurdles events.
"Honestly, my favorite race is hurdles," Wilson said. "I've been doing it since I was little, on the street. When I went to Tecumseh Junior High, I tried hurdles and I loved it. It's one of the scariest races, but it's so challenging.
"Everybody can jump, everybody can run, but with obstacles in the way see what you can do to keep your speed and attack the hurdle at the same time."
Lafayette Jeff assistant coach Josh Hembrough, who won a Big Ten 110-meter hurdles championship at Purdue, believes Wilson has the potential to win a state championship.
"He's a hurdler who is very smooth with his steps," Hembrough said. "He's able to run the same exact steps throughout the hurdles, but what's most impressive is his strong finish. In the beginning you see a couple of guys beating him, but he always comes back in the end."
Jeff head coach Larry Griggs has seen a lot of growth from Wilson from his days as a freshman.
"He's gotten a lot stronger over the last four years," Griggs said. "He's worked hard in the weight room. Physically, he's probably in the best shape of his life. He works hard in the classroom and he works hard in everything he does. He's definitely got the ability to compete at the next level."
The next level, Wilson hopes, will be at either Indiana State or Purdue following two years at Vincennes University. If Wilson ends up at Indiana State, he would be reunited with good friend Carl McQuay, the 2013 Indiana Mr. Track and Field.
"He's the one that pushed me, mainly," Wilson said of McQuay.
Griggs said Wilson has learned well from his friend.
"He approaches practice like he does a meet," Griggs said. "He works hard in practice and we set up different scenarios with wind, rain, cold, hot, where he has to practice like he would be at a meet. I think that's helped him, especially this year with the weather being so violent. He has a good heart and he's a competitor."
Wilson could be the foundation for the Bronchos' hopes of extending its sectional reign to 10 consecutive years. Wilson also is a member of the top-seeded 400 meter relay and is two inches behind top seed Patrick Brandenburg of Frankfort in the high jump.
"There's a lot of scenarios we've been going through and Tim's obviously a major part in that," Griggs said. "I think we've got the good fit for him and hopefully he's going to score 40 points for us.
"Nothing is guaranteed. They're called hurdles for a reason. That's one of the things that's kind of nerve-wracking as a coach, especially in the highs. Anything can happen. He's got to be on top of his game, make it through trials and then hopefully make it through finals and move on."
If Wilson does move on, he has several goals to accomplish before heading to Vincennes.
"I want to try to get first, break some records and make a name for myself," he said. "See my way to state and try to do my best there."

Edwin St. Aubin is justifiably proud of three centuries of family roots in Detroit. The St. Aubin family was among the original founding families of the city. To this day, there is a street running through downtown that bears the family name.
John Casse dit. St. Aubin was born in France, in 1659, and became a sailor. As a young man, he migrated to Canada. When Antoine De La Mothe de Cadillac was looking for men to establish Fort Pontchartrain at Detroit, John signed on. Cadillac and his party landed at Detroit on July 24, 1701, and laid the foundation of our present city. John Casse dit St. Aubin died at the age of 100, and was buried in Detroit on February 27, 1759.

Cloud Foundry Sees Challenges Worldwide, Exciting Differences in China
The Cloud Foundry Foundation may have faced some skepticism at the outset a few years ago, but it has since more lived up to its reputation as a as a principle hub for creating and leveraging open source software on the cloud. In many respects, Cloud Foundry has matured well beyond the initial phases of a startup, and with this maturity comes inherent challenges. Now, more than ever, Cloud Foundry must true to its core mission and to never “break the user,” Abby Kearns, executive director at the Cloud Foundry Foundation, said.
During a podcast from the recently held from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon China, Kearns spoke with host Alex Williams, founder and editor in chief of The New Stack, about how the foundation continues to serve the developer open source community and what its missions continues to be. Kearns also revealed some especially interesting observations about China-based developers and their approach to the Cloud Foundry and open source community.

Sense and Sensibility (1981)
Sense and Sensibility is a 1981 BBC television adaptation of Jane Austen's novel. The seven-part series was dramatized by Alexander Baron, and directed by Rodney Bennett. Following the plot of the novel, it tells "a story of two sisters attempting to find happiness in the tightly structured society of 18th century England. Elinor, disciplined, restrained and very conscious of the manners of the day, represents sense. Outspoken, impetuous, emotional Marianne represents sensibility. Attracted to a man already promised to another, Elinor suffers silently to keep scandal away from her family. Marianne enjoys a flirtation with a handsome scoundrel that could lead to her downfall. Through their experiences with men and their relationship with each other, they learn that neither sense nor sensibility is enough, but that one must strive for a balance of the two."

FLIP: A Column About Skateboarding
Column 3:
An Interview with Christian Hosoi, Professional Skateboarder/Pastor
by Joel Rice
Since his release from prison in 2004, Christian Hosoi has emerged as one of the skateboarding industry’s most vocal Christian evangelists. The married father of two (Rhythm and Classic Hosoi), is now a pastor at The Sanctuary Church in Huntington Beach and currently stars in a Christian reality television show entitled The Uprising. (A typical episode features Hosoi and two other skateboarders visiting backyard pools, skate parks, and other locales to minister and find fellowship.)
Hosoi is one of only a small handful of truly canonical professional skateboarders—an eminence who once defined an era. Often portrayed as Tony Hawk’s great rival, Hosoi literally brought ramp skating to new heights throughout the 1980s—dominating contests with massive aerial maneuvers, surfer’s grace, extraordinary personal magnetism and a winning flamboyance. (Note the multiple Swatches, neon spandex biker shorts, ever-present scarves and notorious hair extensions in footage from this period). By his early twenties Hosoi had taken up residence in W.C. Field’s former Hollywood home, installed a half-pipe ramp in the garden and became a fixture of the Los Angeles club scene. He invented the trick known as “The Christ Air” and, because of his star power, was nicknamed “Christ.”
However, when the skateboarding industry collapsed in the late 80s and street-skating suddenly eclipsed the ramp-era, Hosoi’s life took a dark turn. After spending most of the 90s in the throes of drug addiction and financial disarray, he was arrested, in January of 2000, at the Honolulu International Airport attempting to transport 1.5 pounds of crystal methamphetamine and spent four years in the San Bernardino Central Detention Center. It was at the beginning of this legal travail that Hosoi found Christianity.
Joel Rice recently spoke to Hosoi about where he has been, where he is going, and his ambitions for The Uprising.
Q: You were caught with more than a pound and a half of methamphetamine at the Honolulu International Airport. What was that moment like?
Christian Hosoi: At that moment, I didn’t know there was going to be five or ten years hanging over my head.
You’re saying, “How is this happening to me? Why is this happening to me? Why me?” I believed in Karma at the time. I was pointing my finger at all these bad people and saying, “Why are they out there when I’m in here?”
But then I went in and I had my first phone call. It was pretty incredible. My girlfriend said, “You know what? I love you. We just got to trust in God.” And I was like, “God? Babe, I need a lawyer.”
Q: By that point you obviously had fallen quite far. You had once occupied the pinnacle of the skateboarding world. By eighth grade you were generating a $2,000 a month income…?
CH: How much was I making?
Q: In eighth grade you were making $2,000 a month.
CH: Yeah. In eighth grade, when I was 15. But in my pinnacle days, just as a factual thing, I was making more like $30,000 a month.
Q: What do you miss about that time in your life? What are you glad to put behind you?
CH: I miss the competition and the actual skateboarding family that it was. It was a really tight knit industry. It was so fresh, so new, so innovative. I really do miss that freshness.
What I don’t miss is the lifestyle that came with it, and the pressures of following everybody else’s expectations and not following my own heart. I grew up in a time of drugs, rock n’ roll and sex. So if you didn’t do those things you were considered weird or not cool. See, there was no option for me. It was either cool or not cool.
I worried about my children being exposed to that environment, especially without knowing what the repercussions would be. But now that I’ve experienced that [lifestyle] firsthand, I can actually say that path will lead you down a road of destruction and despair. Eventually you will be put in prison, kill somebody or get killed.
Q: One of themes you return to on the show is the deep regret you feel about that period. In one episode you say, “How ungodly it all was.” Wasn’t it also just fun? The clothes, the multiple Swatches, the hair extensions. It looked like fun.
CH: The Bible talks about sin being pleasurable. Sin is pleasurable. That’s why it’s so hard to convince people − friends and peers − to give up that lifestyle for something they can’t see, that they can’t perceive. How do you convince someone to give up something that feels right and looks right while everyone else around them is doing it?
That’s the part where I say, “You know what? I did have fun.” There was nothing I wanted that I couldn’t get. I had everything handed to me on a silver platter. How do I tell people to sacrifice all that? Here’s why: for eternal life.
Never growing up in church, never praying until I was 31-years-old, being addicted to drugs for ten years, having a dysfunctional lifestyle − these are things I don’t glory in. But there is hope. You haven’t gone too far. There is a second chance. I’ve lived this second life, with joy and peace, kindness and self-control, purpose and meaning.
Q: You converted to Christianity soon after your arrest. Could you describe that experience?
CH: My wife’s uncle is a pastor and he was trying to reach out to her. And she just really wasn’t feeling God. I guess she considered herself an atheist. Then her friend almost OD’d at her house. And she said, “Christian, I am quitting drugs and I’m going to church.”
I ended up getting arrested right after that. And she was like, “My uncle wants to talk to you.” And so I called him from San Bernardino prison. And he said, “You know God has a plan for your life.” And I’m looking at ten years of prison time and going like, “God has a plan for my life?” And he’s like, “Yes. But you really need to give yourself to Christ because you’re going to touch millions of people.” So my girlfriend and I said the prayer together on the phone and I gave myself to Christ over the phone in San Bernardino prison. And my life has never been the same since that moment.
That’s when all those spiritual markers − my name being Christian, my nickname being Christ, inventing the maneuver the Christ Air in the late 80s − started rushing by me like a movie projector.
See, I had a revelation. I had never prayed before. I had never read a Bible. I just read the Bible in county prison on a triple-decker bunk bed seeking God with my whole heart.
Q: You also got your GED in prison. Did you find the classes stimulating?
CH: There were only inmates working as the tutors. That’s pretty much it. I studied for about a month and a half and took the test.
Actually, I happened to take the test the very first time that they changed the test to be more advanced. And everyone was like telling me how easy the GED was. But then they were like, “We’re testing out this new test, and it’s going to be the new GED. We’re testing the new test.” And it was, like, way harder. And I was like, “Oh my God. I hope I pass this.” Because, I dropped out in the tenth grade, you know what I mean? But God gave me the abilities. So it was super cool.
Q: It must have been incredibly painful to see skateboarding flower while you were in prison. Peers like Tony Hawk were striking a very lucrative chord with the public. The sheer longing to skateboard must have been overwhelming.
CH: You know it was. At first I was like, man, I am going to miss out on so many years of the evolution of skateboarding. But when I fell in love with Jesus it was like I had a whole newfound passion. And that was to speak the Lord and know the Lord and be able to communicate that with my friends and family, and to share that with the skateboarding community. And I said, “Whenever you want me out there, God − to be able to represent you and be out there and to skateboard again, I’m fine with that.”
Q: What would the 42-year-old Christian Hosoi now, say to the 16-year-old Hosoi then?
CH: Tell him hey, “Have you ever prayed before? Do you believe in God? Do you know what your name means? Your nickname is Christ. Do you know what Christ has done for you?” No one sat there and really took the time and said, “Hey, I love you.” I would tell that kid, “Hey, look at what I’ve been through. You don’t have to go through life trying please everybody.” And I think I would have thought about it with the intelligence that I had.
Today I am here saying I can still skate. I can still dress the way I want to. I can still be rad. I can still be the person I want to be as long as I’m not living in sin, which is obviously in conflict with God’s plan for me.
Q: Do you feel that people sometimes make false professions of faith around you because of the presence of cameras?
CH: No. Because we pray before we do it. For every person that we come into contact for that day it is a divine appointment. It is on purpose. So if that erupts and somebody does come on because there are cameras it ends up being an intervention for their spiritual life that ultimately changes their life forever. See this generation is not used to that. They’re so used to being exploited. Our message is that we really do love them. I don’t force my beliefs on people. But I’m definitely outspoken. I just want to be able to love people in such a way that they’re attracted to the God that I serve. We’re not here to glory in ourselves. I am just being truthful to who I am and people respect that..
Q: You loved the rebellious thrill of skateboarding. In a recent interview you return again and again to the theme of skateboarding’s individuality and state as a skateboarder “You don’t want to be a follower.” But isn’t your show all about finding followers? Do you see a contradiction there? How do you rectify it?
CH: If you look at the rebelliousness we had as skateboarders, we weren’t conforming to mainstream society. We didn’t go by the rules. That was what made us this subculture that was cool, that was edgy and had this outlaw attitude. That’s how we are as Christians today. We’re the most rebellious people today, because we’re not doing what the world tells us to do. We’re here to follow the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. I am in a radical rebellion against what the world is telling us; how the world is telling our children to live in school. You listen to prominent people, doctors, successful people. And their language is so filthy. That’s why our country is in shambles, because we’ve lost touch with our spiritual roots. So, whereas before I was a rebel against the authorities, now I am a rebel against the world.

Park Geun-hye
South Korea opposition to file motion to impeach Park
Opposition parties say they will try to persuade lawmakers of the president's party to back her impeachment.

South Korea's three opposition parties have agreed to submit a motion to impeach President Park Geun-hye, saying they want a vote to take place on December 9.
Accused of colluding with a close friend who faces embezzlement charges, Park said last week she would be willing to step down in the face of weekly mass protests that have seen millions take to the streets of Seoul and other cities.
The opposition said Park's offer, which put the manner and timing of her resignation in the hands of parliament, was an effort to buy time and avoid impeachment.
The joint opposition commands the most seats in the legislature, but would need the support of nearly 30 members of Park's Saenuri Party to secure the two-thirds majority needed to impeach the president.
"We've agreed to actively persuade anti-Park [Saenuri] lawmakers to back us," said Park Jie-Won, parliamentary floor leader of the opposition People's Party.
Approval rating slumping
Meanwhile, Park wants to hold talks this weekend with the Saenuri as she attempts to block impeachment talks, Yonhap news agency reported.
On Thursday, the ruling party pushed for Park to withdraw from office in April, with party leader Chung Jin-suk saying presidential elections, originally planned for the end of 2017, could be brought forward to June.
Park, whose approval rating dropped last week to a record low of 4 percent, is accused of having allowed close friend Choi Soon Sil to meddle in state affairs and of giving Choi access to official state
The president is also suspected of having put pressure on top Korean companies, including the electronics giant Samsung, to donate to two foundations controlled by Choi and which Choi is said to have used for her own personal gain.
Choi, the daughter of a cult leader who mentored Park before his death, has been indicted on a string of charges, including abuse of authority and attempted fraud.
The president has repeatedly apologised over the scandal but denied any criminal wrongdoing.


Remember Lot's Wife
By Alwyn Mandeville (Kingstown Church of Christ, SVG)
In the book of Genesis (19:1-29), the story is told of a righteous man named Lot, who was living in Sodom with his wife and family. The city was exceedingly sinful and plagued with homosexuality.
Visiting angels had persuaded Lot to take his family and flee Sodom, as God was about to destroy it with fire and brimstone. While they were fleeing, his wife looked back and instantly became a pillar of salt. It is said that she was attracted by all that Sodom had to offer and this may have led to her demise.
This should be a great lesson and warning to all Christians. The word of God tells us of the dangers of drawing back. The Hebrews writer says (10:38-39), “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them that draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.” Also 2 Peter 2:20-22 states, “For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to know the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to its own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.”
Jesus, while speaking to certain men about the true cost of discipleship said in Luke 9:62, "No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back is fit for the Kingdom of God." Lot’s wife was escaping from a city that was being destroyed because of corruption and worldly pleasures, to a place of safety. On her way she decided to look back and she too was destroyed. As Christians who have obeyed the gospel of our Lord and Saviour and were added to His church (Acts 2:47), we are to give up earthly treasures so that we could gain that crown of eternal life. Paul, speaking to the Philippians said, “Brethren, I count myself not to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward unto those things which are ahead. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:13-14).
DO NOT BE CAUGHT LOOKING BACK!
Lord help us to continue to fight the good fight of faith!!
God will make a way where there seem to be no way. Once we feast on his word he will continue to point the way forward for us so we would have no desire to look back!
