Ichiro Suzuki is closing in on becoming the 30th player to reach 3,000 hits. On Tuesday night, he stroked hit number 2,997. With three more hits, he’ll join one of the most exclusive clubs in baseball history. While we don’t yet know how his 3,00th hit will unfold, it is always great fun to look back, so let’s take a look at some of the previous 29 milestone knocks.
Cap Anson, July 16, 1897, Chicago Colts vs. Baltimore Orioles
When the very first 3,000th hit was struck 119 years ago, nobody was aware of the milestone at the time. At 45 years old, Anson was winding down his career as player-manager of the Chicago Colts, who would later become known as the Cubs. There is some mystery surrounding his career hit total, but Major League Baseball’s official statistician, the Elias Sports Bureau, has him pegged for 3,081. The hit recognized as the 3,000th came in a home game against the reigning National League champion Baltimore Orioles.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the Colts led 1-0 in the top of the ninth when future Hall of Famer Hughie Jennings came up with a runner on and, “determination printed on his angelic countenance.” He hit a two-run inside-the-park home run off of Jimmy Callahan to give the visitors a 2-1 lead. In the first eight frames, the Colts could only muster one hit against George Blackburn, who also set down the first two batters of the ninth. Anson came to the plate as the last hope, and “swung against the ball and drove it safe to center for the second hit of the game.” The single briefly kept the game alive, but Jimmy Ryan bounced into a force play to end the game. Blackburn’s gem was one of only five big league appearances in his career.
Honus Wagner, June 9, 1914, Pittsburgh Pirates at Philadelphia Phillies
By the time Wagner approached the mark, there was fanfare and anticipation for the 3,000 hit chase. In fact, according to the Pittsburgh Press, Wagner put pressure on himself to get the hit:
Sometimes I believe too much newspaper talk hurts a fellow, that it acts as a sort of a jinx. I never tried harder in my life than I did in the series at Philadelphia, and what did I do? I didn’t get a hit in two games and then in the next two I got a couple, one for each game. That’s no hitting at all.”
After notching eight hits in the five games prior to the Phillies series, he went 1-for-13 to start the four-game set before doubling off Erskine Mayer in the ninth inning of the finale.
There was an amusing story the next day about the cheering crowd at the Lyceum Theatre, where there was “the great electric scoreboard, depicting every ball thrown instantaneously and accurately.” Electronic scoreboards that recreated the games were popular at the time, since we were still a long way from the At Bat app.
Nap Lajoie, Sept. 27, 1914, Cleveland Naps vs. New York Yankees
A few months after Wagner’s hit, Lajoie joined him and Anson. On his historic double, the Chicago Tribune noted that “the ball hit was taken out of play and presented to Lajoie for a souvenier [sic] as soon as he reached second.” Now teams make the same gesture upon one’s first major league hit.
Paul Waner, June 19, 1942, Boston Braves vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker and Eddie Collins reached 3,000 during the 1920s before “Big Poison” became the seventh member in 1942. According to his SABR bio, Waner nearly picked up the milestone hit on June 17, 1942:
Waner hit a sharp grounder to shortstop Eddie Joost of the Reds in the fifth inning. Joost moved toward second base, whirled, and made a backhanded stab at the ball, but was only able to knock it down. Scorekeeper Jerry Moore of the Boston Globe awarded Waner a hit, his 3,000th career hit. But Waner waved furiously at the press box to change the call to an error. “No, no. Don’t give me a hit on that. I won’t take it,” shouted Waner. He shooed away umpire Beans Reardon and the converging players who wished to offer their congratulations. At last, Moore changed his decision and charged Joost with an error.”
Two days later, his Braves hosted the Pirates, the team he had spent 15 seasons with from 1926-40. He stroked a fifth-inning single against former teammate Rip Sewell, and as the Chicago Tribune described it, “before he could reach first base, Pittsburgh players crowded around to congratulate the little veteran…” The story also noted congratulations from Bucs skipper Frankie Frisch, who was ejected in the ninth inning of an 11-inning 7-6 Pittsburgh victory.
Stan Musial, May 13, 1958, St. Louis Cardinals at Chicago Cubs
No one else would reach 3,000 hits for another 16 years. “The Man” was sitting on 2,999 hits on May 13, when the Cardinals benched him for the game at Wrigley Field so he could get the big hit in front of the St. Louis fans the next day.
However, when the Cards trailed the Cubs, 3-1, in the sixth inning, manager Fred Hutchinson called on Musial to pinch hit with a runner at second and one out. Coming in cold off the bench, he smoked Moe Drabowsky’s 2-2 pitch into left field for an RBI double that cut the lead to one. With the landmark two-bagger out of the way, he was removed for a pinch runner to great applause (it takes a lot for a Cardinal to be cheered in Chicago). Still, Musial delivered a great blow in a four-run rally that helped give the Redbirds a 5-3 win.
Lou Brock, Aug. 13, 1979, St. Louis Cardinals vs. Chicago Cubs
After Musial, another 12 years passed before the next member joined the club. Hank Aaron and Willie Mays pushed the membership to double digits in 1970, and they were soon joined by Roberto Clemente, whose 3,000th hit in 1972 would be his last before his tragic death that offseason. Al Kaline and Pete Rose followed, as did Brock in 1979.
The speedster came to the Cardinals from the Cubs in a 1964 trade that is still one of the most famous live-to-regret-it deals of all time. After 16 seasons of rapping out singles and stealing base after base in a Cardinals uniform, he was eight hits away from 3,000 heading into a five-game series against his former team. He sat out the opener before getting two hits in each of the following games, and the final one really made the Cubs hurt. His milestone fourth-inning single was a shot off of starting pitcher Dennis Lamp’s pitching hand that knocked the hurler out of the game. Prior to the game, Lamp said he didn’t want to be the one to give up the hits:
I would feel really bad if Brock got the hits off me, especially if they cost me a game. No, I don’t want to go into the record book as the pitcher who gave up his 3,000 hit, but I can’t go out there worrying about Brock.”
He sure did go into the record book, adding insult to injury. Lamp pitched again eight days later out of the bullpen before taking back his spot in the rotation.
As for the ballgame, it was tied in the bottom of the ninth when Ken Reitz singled off Willie Hernandez for a round-number hit of his own (number 1,000 in his career). He was replaced by pinch runner Tom Herr, a future Cardinals mainstay at second base who was making his major league debut. St. Louis loaded the bases with one out before Garry Templeton lifted a fly to left field against Bruce Sutter. Dave Kingman reeled it in, but it was deep enough for Herr to race home with the winning run. It was the first of three walk-off wins in a 3000th-hit-game.
Rod Carew, Aug. 4, 1985, California Angels vs. Minnesota Twins
A month after Brock’s 3,000th hit, Carl Yastrzemski became the 15th player to get there. Rod Carew was the 16th and like Waner and Brock, he happened to make history against his former team. After winning seven batting titles in 12 seasons with the Minnesota Twins, he was traded to the Angels in 1979. He spent the final seven years of his career there, the last of which featured hit number 3,000.
Carew’s wasn’t the only major baseball milestone reached on this particular Sunday afternoon. Earlier that day in New York, Tom Seaver of the White Sox beat the Yankees to record his 300th victory, fittingly in the city where he racked up most of them as a member of the New York Mets.
George Brett, Sept. 30, 1992, Kansas City Royals at California Angels
The next 3,000 hit man was Robin Yount, and then three weeks later, Brett got there in a big way. He was four hits shy with five games left in the season, but he wasted no more time, banging out four hits in one game to jump from 2,996 to the magic 3,000. Five players have reached it with their third hit of a game, but Brett is still the only one to get there with his fourth. Perhaps he celebrated too long, because after his base hit, pitcher Tim Fortugno picked him off of first base!
Dave Winfield, Sept. 16, 1993, Minnesota Twins vs. Oakland Athletics
At 41 years old, Winfield signed with his hometown Twins for the 1993 season and he picked up his hit in dramatic fashion. The Twins trailed 2-0 to the Athletics at the Metrodome, and they had to face lights-out closer and reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Dennis Eckersley. Kirby Puckett led off with a triple and two batters later, Winfield grounded a single to put Minnesota on the board and etch his name in history. Three batters after the celebration, Scott Stahoviak singled to plate Winfield and tie the game. Shane Mack tried to score behind him to win it, but left fielder Kurt Abbott threw him out at the plate to force extra innings. Oakland scored twice in the top of the 13th, but the Twins roared back with three in the bottom half, winning the game on Chip Hale’s RBI single.
Tony Gwynn, Aug. 6, 1999, San Diego Padres at Montreal Expos
Eddie Murray and Paul Molitor were next to join the club (Molitor is still the only one to get there with a triple). The 22nd player was the late, great Tony Gwynn. Six years to the day after Gwynn picked up his 2,000th career hit, he singled off rookie Dan Smith for his 3,000th. There were a couple of other nice coincidences as well. First base umpire Kerwin Danley was a college teammate of Gwynn’s at San Diego State and was right there to congratulate him. The hit was also a birthday gift for Gwynn’s mother, Vendella, who came onto the field to celebrate with her son.
Wade Boggs, Aug. 7, 1999, Tampa Bay Devil Rays vs. Cleveland Indians
We didn’t have to wait long for the next one, as Gwynn’s perennial batting-champion counterpart joined him the very next day! Boggs also made history while he was making history, becoming the first player to reach the 3,000 plateau with a home run.
Rickey Henderson, Oct. 7, 2001, San Diego Padres vs. Colorado Rockies
Cal Ripken joined the club in a year after Gwynn and Boggs, and Henderson followed on the last day of the 2001 season. He hit a double on the first pitch of the bottom of the first inning, giving him another tremendous statistical achievement in a career full of them. This game also would be the last for Gwynn, who pinch hit and grounded out in the ninth inning in his final major league plate appearance.
Craig Biggio, June 28, 2007, Houston Astros vs. Colorado Rockies
Rafael Palmeiro was next to 3,000, and Biggio followed him with a big day. Entering the game three hits shy, the longtime Astro singled in the third and fifth innings to pull within one. The Astros were down 1-0 in the seventh, but they had the tying run at second with two out. Biggio lined a single to tie the game, but he was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. A strange way to get there, but it counted all the same. Biggio wasn’t finished, adding singles in the ninth and 11th frames. The fifth and final hit started a come-from-behind rally that was capped by Carlos Lee’s walk-off grand slam.
Derek Jeter, July 9, 2011, New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays
Jeter always had a flair for the dramatic, so why not join the club with a home run as part of a five-hit afternoon that concluded with a tiebreaking single in the bottom of the eighth? Jeter and Biggio are the only players to notch five hits in the game in which they reached 3,000.
Alex Rodriguez, June 19, 2015, New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers
The last two members of the 3,000 hit club did it in pinstripes with a home run. A-Rod followed Boggs and Jeter to become the third player to go yard for number 3,000. It was one of 33 home runs during a resurgent season for Rodriguez, the sixth-most for a player at 39 years of age or older.
Ichiro is having a renaissance season of his own. After batting .258 with a 74 OPS+ over his previous three seasons, including a meager .229 batting average in 2015, the 42-year-old entered Wednesday’s action hitting .332, which if he maintains it, will be his best batting average since he hit .352 in 2009.
He’ll be one of the oldest players to reach 3,000, trailing only Cap Anson (45) and Rickey Henderson (an older 42, though Ichiro passes him if he gets there on August 3 or later). Of course, Ichiro didn’t make his major league debut until he was 27 years old. While we’ll never know how many hits he’d have if he played his entire career on this side of the Pacific, we do know that only Pete Rose has more hits after turning 27. Rose is also the only player with more hits in his first 16 seasons.
In contrast to the power-dependent era in which he’s played, Ichiro has racked up the hits with only 113 leaving the yard. That will be the second-lowest total by a player with 3,000 hits since World War II, ahead of only Rod Carew (92). More than 81 percent of his hits have been singles (2,443), which would pass Eddie Collins (79.7 percent) for the highest share of singles among those with 3,000 hits.
In the coming days, he’ll join the all-time greats in the 3,000 hit club, and it will be a much richer one with him in it.

Good to re-see number thirteen’s. However much I may dislike how un-clutch he is, it really was a pleasure watching him hit the baseball.
Looking forward to his 700th homer too.
Thanks for the article,
Given the discrepancies over how many hits Anson had, what was now recognize as his 3000th hit actually recognized as such at the time? What I’m asking is not just “Was a big deal made over Anson getting his 3000th hit?”, but “Did people even regard Anson as having had 3,000 hits at the time, or did they not even think he had that many?” Along the same lines, are there any other members of the 3000-hit club for whom what was tabulated as their 3000th hit at the time is no longer considered to have actually been their 3000th… Read more »
James Smyth
The newspaper accounts at the time made no mention of Anson’s hit total, and the actual number is still disputed today. Some give him 3,012, or 3,435 if you count his National Association hits, but 3,081 is recognized as the official number. By the time Wagner approached in 1914, Anson was regarded as the hit king and the 3,000 hit mark already had some cachet.
For now, the milestone hits are the same ones that were celebrated at the time. There haven’t been any extra hits discovered or ones that were counted twice.
John Bushman
Nice article on the history of the 3,000 hit players. What a class guy Ichiro, both America and Japan can be proud of him.
D Allen
I saw Hank Aaron’s 3,000th hit … an infield grounder in the first game of a doubleheader at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, 1969 or ’70. Hey, a hit is a hit … and he had a lot of them! A great player, that’s for sure.
Barry Gilpin
That reminds me of seeing Griffey Jr’s 2000th hit. It was a dribbler back to the pitcher that he picked up and dropped, and they gave him a hit because he would have had a chance to beat the throw anyway, because it was basically a swinging bunt.
Marc Schneider
Aaron’s 3000th was in 1970. IIRC, his next hit-in the same game-was a home run.
You left off Roberto Clemente who had exactly 3,00 major league hits. It was the last game of the 1972 season. He sent the bat to Cooperstown, sadly he died in the off season. That makes it the MOST memorable.
Re-write the article James.
Was at that game when Roberto got his 3000th off of Jon Matlack of the Mets. The stopped the game, gave Roberto the ball, and Wllie Mays came out of the Met’s dugout to congratulate him.


Shots fired near 16th and Hart streets
An argument erupted Wednesday evening near the 1900 block of North 16th Street, followed a short time later by four gunshots, witnesses said.
"I was sitting on my front porch trying to make a telephone call. I heard a lot of screaming and yelling," said Steve Rohrer, who lives near the scene. "I couldn't even talk on the phone, so I went in the back."
His wife, Patty Rohrer, said, "I was out in the garden, and I heard them screaming and yelling and cussing and calling each other names and saying they were going to shoot each other."
"Then I heard pop, pop, pop — just like on television," she said, adding she heard four shots just before 6 p.m. "I left the garden. Thought I ought to come inside."
Across the street, police spent the better part of an hour trying to sort through what happened. Lafayette police Lt. Joe Clyde confirmed what the Rohrers told the Journal & Courier. No one was struck by the bullets and no property was damage by the shots, Clyde said. Police, however, could not find any shell casings or other indications that shots had been fired, Clyde said.
Officers were almost ready to leave when they got a tip that the possible shooter might be inside a house on an alley between 16th and 17th streets.
Police talked everyone out of the house and questioned the people who were inside.
By 7:10 p.m., police had five people detained and in handcuffs while police got a search warrant for the house. What police find Wednesday night after they search the house will determine whether they arrest or release the five people, Clyde said.
"Isn't this pathetic," Patty Rohrer rhetorically asked. "You hear it on the news all the time, but you never think it's going to happen in your own neighborhood."

Harris admits Biden admin is not looking to eliminate virus – only reduce risk
Vice President Kamala Harris has responded to pressure put on the administration to work harder to eliminate the COVID-19 pandemic, saying that it’s not the administration’s plan at this time to pursue that, Breitbart News reported.
During a recent interview on Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” Harris characterized the administration’s plan saying that they can “at the very least, mitigate the harm to the greatest number of people.”
She went on to say that the administration will urge people “to do what is necessary for us to get beyond this,” and that the administration is open to input on how to accomplices that but claimed that their current strategy resulted in “progress and that that is the trajectory.”
Host Judy Woodruff stated, “Six of the prominent public health advisers who were part of the Biden-Harris transition team have today gone public with a plea to the president to adopt an entirely new pandemic strategy geared to what they call the new normal of living with this virus indefinitely, trying to minimize the risk.”
“First of all, what we know, without any debate, and I think all of us agree, is that we have tools available to us to address this pandemic in a way that we can, at the very least, mitigate the harm to the greatest number of people,” Harris responded.
“And so, we are going to continue as an administration to urge all people who are eligible to get vaccinated, to get the booster, to wear masks when they are in public, and to do what is necessary for us to get beyond this.
“We welcome, of course, anyone who has information, especially those who are experts, about how we can accomplish these goals. But there are certain things that are without debate and really not even necessary for discussion at this point among people who are knowledgeable about what needs to happen, in terms of vaccines and boosters and masks.”
Woodruff went on to ask, “But is it time for a new approach? Is the question. I mean, this administration came in promising to get things on track, here we are a year later, we’re in the fourth wave. There aren’t enough tests, nearly enough.”
“We know that the approach, in terms of vaccines, boosters, and masks, works,” Harris said. “So, I don’t think that that’s what we’re discussing right now. But let’s also talk about, to your point, where we are today versus a year ago. Today, the vast majority of schools are open.
“Today, we have a vaccine that the majority of Americans have actually received. Boosters, we are seeing great progress with that. People are wearing their masks.
“So, we have seen progress. We are seeing businesses reopen. And I think it’s important for us to see in this moment we’re still — it is extremely frustrating, there’s no question, for all of us.
“But we also must acknowledge that there has been progress and that that is the trajectory. But there are still steps to go. We have still work to do. And, in particular, around the vaccines and masks, we want to make sure that everyone is taking advantage of all the tools that we do have available to us right now.”


A Post by One of "The Best 300 Professors" in the United States
In April this year, Princeton Review partnered with RateMyProfessor and published a list of "The Best 300 Professors." From approximately 1.8 million post-secondary teachers in the country, NYU Liberal Studies Professor Kathleen (Kathy) Bishop was among the 0.02% included on the list. On RateMyProfessor, students have spoken highly of Professor Bishop:
"I have come to adore her open minded teaching style and she has always helped her students. She is a MUST."
"Professor Bishop is like the female version of Woody Allen. She's so cool and knows how to engage a class."
"Like everyone always says, super great teacher."
We had the pleasure of speaking with Kathy, but instead of the usual interview, we will let her tell you the story of how she came to become such a passionate educator and an influential member of the NYU community.
From Professor Kathy Bishop:
When I was recently chosen by the Princeton Review to be included in their new publication, "The Best 300 Professors," it got me to thinking about how this could have happened -- I immediately thought of my mentor and friend, the late Robert R. Raymo, former dean of GSAS and my many times professor and dissertation advisor in the NYU English Department. To excel at anything in life, a young person needs someone to show her how it’s done; for me that meant figuring out how to be a good teacher and scholar. In the end I now realize that what he really provided me with was a roadmap on how to live a happy, fulfilling life. In the beginning, when I first took up the daunting task of teaching, I thought about Prof. Raymo and how he did it so effortlessly and so incredibly well. As with a novice in any field, in my case I thought the best thing would be to model myself after the best teacher I knew. The problem was that he was an older man (or so it seemed to me at the time), who tended towards elegant suits, and I was a young jeans and tee shirt kind of gal. He also had an impossible to duplicate manner that combined utter sophistication and worldliness with razor sharp wit, warmth, kindness, generosity, and all out brilliance. In class students hung on his every word. When you met with him during office hours, he made you feel like you were his only student, and he had all day to discuss the “Miller’s Tale” with you. Just how was I going to match any of this?
What I gradually came to see, through trial and error, was that being good at anything is of course about finding your own way of doing things, but most importantly it’s about finding the reason why you’re here in this life. What I know for sure is that Prof. Raymo loved what he was doing with every fiber of his being, and if you can find that in your own life, well then you are the luckiest person in the world.
In Liberal Studies, where I now teach at NYU, I’ve come to see that probably the most important thing I can pass on to my students is this lesson that I learned years ago through my teacher. In any given class we may be studying an Indian epic, or an Elizabethan drama, or Middle Eastern art. These are all important and beautiful things that will add to these students’ lives immeasurably, but I also hope I am able to pass on to them the lesson that I learned from Prof. Raymo of finding your own individual path. I’m the luckiest person in the world to be standing in front of that classroom, and each one of them is off on their own epic journey to find themselves.

Fewer dental cavities found in young people, but minorities still most at risk
Source: CNN | Health | April 13th, 2018 | By Erin Gabriel
Location: United States, National USA
(CNN) – The percentage of young people with dental cavities in the United States dropped from 50% in 2012 to just over 43% in 2016, according to a new study from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Although the overall trend is a positive one, young members of minority communities continue to have the highest number of cavities as well as the highest number of untreated cavities, the CDC found in its latest study of dental decay. The findings were based on national data gathered from young people living in the United States aged between 2 and 19, compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics.
The highest prevalence of total and untreated cavities was found among Hispanic and non-Hispanic black youth, according to the study, released Friday. Hispanic youths had the most cavities (52%) compared with black (44.3%), Asian (42.6%) and white (39%) youths. Black youths had the most untreated cavities (17.1%) compared with Hispanic (13.5%), white (11.7%) and Asian (10.5%) youths.
The American Dental Association has tracked the historical trend of racial disparity in oral health care — and its correlation to income levels — over several decades. It has also found that the prevalence has gone down but is still highest in Hispanic and black youth.
Consequences of cavities
The implications of poor oral health are wide-ranging, experts say. Dental cavities are the most common chronic disease among youth ages 6 to 19. If untreated, they can cause pain and infection.
In very rare cases, tooth decay has the potential to be deadly. Study author Dr. Eleanor Fleming cited the case of 12-year-old Maryland boy Deamonte Driver, who died in 2007 due to a severe brain infection caused by dental decay.
If baby teeth have untreated decay, it can have negative implications on the adult teeth. It can also prevent permanent teeth from growing in properly, according to Fleming, a dentist and part of the National Center for Health Statistics’ Division of Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys.
Cavities can lead students to miss school, to not be able to chew properly and to not be able to speak and communicate effectively due to pain, she said.
For many young people, “the most important aspect of how caries (cavities) impacts you is that it impacts your academic performance,” said Dr. Roseann Mulligan, associate dean and professor at the University of Southern California’s Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry.
If you are in constant discomfort, your ability to focus and study suffers, said Mulligan, who was not involved in the new report.
Why are minorities most at risk?
Mulligan cited several reasons why Hispanic and black youth might have the highest prevalence of total and untreated cavities, including socioeconomic status, education level and access to health care.
“The prevalence of total dental [cavities] decreased as family income levels increased, from 51.8% for youth from families living below the federal poverty level to 34.2% for youth from families with income levels greater than 300% of the federal poverty level,” according to the CDC study.
“The prevalence of untreated dental [cavities] decreased from 18.6% for youth from families living below the federal poverty level to 7.0% for youth from families with incomes greater than 300% of the federal poverty level,” the study found.
In order to address this issue, medical professionals are going into communities to offer access to oral health care, educate families and children about the importance of oral health, and help families find dental clinics that are accessible to them.
This means finding clinics that will accept these families, whether they have insurance or not, and that are geographically close enough for them to visit, Mulligan said.
‘We have to think more broadly’
Helping link families to oral health care is the most important step, she said, including putting resources out there so people know they exist. Even if families are eligible for public insurance, they may not know how to get it or understand what dentist or clinic their insurance will allow. Insurance can be very hard to navigate, Mulligan said.
Social issues often keep families from focusing on oral health, be they physical, financial or something else.
“If we don’t have a multipronged effort, then I don’t think we are ever going to crack this problem. We have to think more broadly,” in a holistic way, Mulligan said.
Families have a lot of competing priorities — getting food on the table, paying bills, dealing with illness — and this can cause oral health care to be put on the back burner. This is why it is important to help families address whatever issues may be keeping them from seeking oral health care, Mulligan said.
Steps to good dental health
According to the CDC, there are several simple steps parents can take to help ensure good oral health for children:
Find a dentist if your child needs one.
Protect your child’s teeth by using fluoride (Children younger than 2 should not use fluoride toothpaste unless recommended by doctor or dentist).
As soon as your child’s first tooth appears, talk to a medical professional about fluoride varnish.
If your drinking water is not fluoridated, ask a medical professional whether your child needs oral fluoride supplements.
Talk to your child’s dentist about dental sealants.
Have your child visit a dentist for a first checkup by age 1.

Scoops Staff December 16, 2010
Brothers Redeemed Quartet of Hickory, NC is pleased to announce their newest member, Shellem Cline.

Rusty announced his resignation from the group publicly on November 21st, 2010. Rusty stated in his resignation letter, “I feel God has closed a door on something in my life and is opening a new one. I have worked a full-time job, as well as being a part-time Minister of Music, and tried to find time to be a father and husband all at once. I thank God for this opportunity, but I think it’s time that I focus on my ministry here at my church.”
Cameron Woods states, “Rusty will continue to manage the group, and make select appearances that we as well as our fans will greatly anticipate!

Sarah Douglas
Sarah Douglas started sailing as a seven-year-old in Barbados and competed at her first world championships in the Optimist class when she was 10. She returned to Canada in 2008 to attend high school and moved into the Laser Radial class, quickly becoming one of the top youth sailors in the country.
In 2010, she competed at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in Singapore in the Byte CII class. But after placing second at the Youth Nationals in 2010, Douglas lost her love of competition and spent the next two and a half years coaching youth athletes. During that time, she attended a camp for Team Ontario athletes headed to the Canada Games and was re-inspired to chase her Olympic dreams after hearing Rosie MacLennan speak about winning gold at London 2012. Douglas returned to competitive sailing in 2014 and was named to the senior national team in 2015.
She had a gradual rise up the international rankings, achieving a career highlight at the 2018 Sailing World Championships in Aarhus, Denmark where her sixth-place finish qualified an Olympic berth for Canada in the Laser Radial for Tokyo 2020. She followed that up in September 2018 with another sixth-place finish, this time at the World Cup Series stop in Enoshima, Japan.
In 2019, Douglas stood atop the podium at the Pan American Games in Lima, pushing through a bacterial infection that kept her mostly in bed when she wasn’t racing. A month later she posted a seventh-place finish at the official Olympic test event for Tokyo 2020, proving to her what perseverance could do. Douglas’ success has come despite being diagnosed at age 14 with the genetic blood disorder alpha thalassemia, which reduces the amount of hemoglobin her body can produce. As an endurance athlete, having less oxygen carried throughout her body could put her at a competitive disadvantage, but she works hard in the gym to ensure her fitness level is among the best in her boat class.
A Little More About Sarah
Getting into the Sport: Started sailing at age 7, drawn by her family’s love for the ocean… Growing up in Barbados allowed her to sail year round… Older brother Greg Douglas is a two-time Olympian in sailing who represented Barbados at Beijing 2008 and Canada at London 2012… Outside Interests: Earned her Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing Management at the University of Guelph in 2017… Ambassador for Fast and Female… Enjoys water activities (swimming, snorkeling, leisure sailing), cooking and anything associated with food… Odds and Ends: Never has green lines on her boat because they represent land and are considered bad luck…

Orotelli
A characteristic "granite" village in central Sardinia, half-way between Nuoro and Macomer, with a wealth of craft and carnival traditions, churches and archaeological sites
The village is set on the edges of the Marghine mountain chain, on the granite plateau of sa Serra, where there is a natural park abounding with prehistoric relics. Orotelli is a town with 2000 inhabitants in the Barbagia di Ollolai, one of Borghi autentici d’Italia, known for producing excellent quality wheat, leather and stone goods as well as for its ancient traditions, such as the famous Thurpos (blind man's) mask, worn by men along with a black orbace (heavy woollen) hooded coat. Along with Mamoiada and Ottana, Orotelli is one of the most significant Barbagia carnivals. The hypotheses surrounding the origins of the name focus on its characteristics: it could derive from the Greek term oros (plateau) and tello (to be born), or from the Latin ortellius, land of gold, for the wheat. Compared to other nearby agricultural towns, Orotelli has always been known for its cereal-growing tradition. The local cobblers are masters in creating the traditional leather sos cambales (boots). You can see them at work in November, during the Autunno in Barbagia event.
The town is divided into two nuclei. The low, robustly-built granite houses of the historical centre are laid out around the parish church of San Giovanni Battista, an impressive Romanesque monument with a suggestive 14th century bell tower, or the nearby Church of San Lussorio, built in the 18th century in granite blocks. The new quarter of Mussinzua features the once-rural church of San Salvatore (16th century) and the other parish church of Spirito Santo, built on the ruins of a 14th century Aragonese church. The church of patron saint San Giovanni (celebrated in late August), built in red trachyte in the early 12th century, has undergone several restorations that have altered the original Romanesque layout, of which only the facade, apse and pilasters of the transept and sides remain. For 23 years (1116-39) it was the home of the diocese of Othana, while the new cathedral, the Church of San Nicola in Ottana, was being completed. Two other sanctuaries stand out in the countryside, in the centre of abandoned medieval villages: Nostra Signora di Sinne and the Church of San Pietro in Oddini, located next to the Sos Banzos hot, sulphurous springs with therapeutic properties.
The origins of the town date to pre-Nuragic times, as confirmed by the Sinne dolmen. The Giants' tombs of Forolo and sa Turre ‘e su Campanile, along with several Nuraghes (some of which have only one tower) date from the Bronze Age, including the spectacular Aeddos Nuraghe, one of the most important prehistoric remains in the Nuoro area. Built from enormous blocks of granite, the sheer size has remained intact over the millennia. The small Càlone Nuraghe that dominates the entrance to the town, and the Nuraghes with a central tower and tripartite bastions in the sa Serra park, are also of interest.
In a town in the heart of Sardinia, you can discover a way of life that has survived the centuries, from ancient churches to Nuraghes, from carnival masks to cambales

Squabble Erupts Over Boris Johnson’s World War Two Jibe
January 18, 2017 EurActiv 0 Comments
By Matthew Tempest
(EurActiv) — British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson compared Brexit negotiations to World War Two “punishment beatings” on Wednesday (18 January), just 24 hours after Theresa May had warned about “hyped up media reports making it harder for us to get the right deal for Britain”.
Johnson, known for his gaffes and hyperbole, made the comment during a trip to India but its repercussions were felt immediately in Brussels and London.
The Foreign Secretary, a leading Leave campaigner who then ducked out of the running to succeed David Cameron as prime minister, said “I think that if [French President] Monsieur Hollande wants to administer punishment beatings to anybody who chooses to escape, rather in manner of some sort of World War II movie, then I don’t think that is the way forward.”
The former journalist made the remarks at a political conference in New Delhi.
Guy Verhofstadt, the European Parliament’s Brexit negotiator, labelled the comments as “abhorrent and deeply unhelpful” and urged May to condemn it.
In fact, a Downing Street spokeswoman told reporters it was a “theatrical comparison”.
“He was making a point. He was in no way suggesting that anyone was a Nazi,” she said. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn also voiced disapproval, calling them “wild and inappropriate”.
It was, in fact, the second time in one day Conservative ministers had invoked the Second World War in relation to the EU exit negotiations.
Earlier, Minister for Leaving the EU David Davis had said “If our country can deal with World War Two, it can deal with this.”
Spitfires, the White Cliffs of Dover and the UK’s “finest hour” are a motif of UKIP campaigning, with similar imagery now slipping into mainstream Conservative speeches – suggesting a tin ear to the continent, where the EU is seen as solidifying the peace following Hitler’s war.
In her keynote speech on Britain’s negotiating objectives yesterday (17 January), Prime Minister Theresa May specifically cautioned against loose talk and indiscipline.
She said: “It is a crucial and sensitive negotiation that will define the interests and the success of our country for many years to come. And it is vital that we maintain our discipline.
“That is why I have said before – and will continue to say – that every stray word and every hyped up media report is going to make it harder for us to get the right deal for Britain.
“Our opposite numbers in the European Commission know it, which is why they are keeping their discipline. And the ministers in this government know it too, which is why we will also maintain ours.”
May appointed Johnson Foreign Secretary after he ducked out of the leadership race, following David Cameron’s resignation in the wake of the referendum defeat.
Many suspected that May – who campaigned for Remain – appointed Johnson, Davis and Liam Fox – all Leave campaigners, to the three crucial Brexit ministries to force them to make the negotiations live up to the promises made during the campaign.
Johnson’s brother, Jo Johnson, a fellow MP and Universities Minister, told BBC radio: “He was making a powerful point that we want a rational deal.
“He was using colourful language to get across an important point,” he said.
Hollande has consistently said Britain would not be granted better trading terms outside the single market, while German Chancellor Angela Merkel warned – before May’s speech – that the UK would not be allowed to “cherry pick” items it liked from EU membership.
Johnson, in Delhi, said Britain’s decision to exit the single market did not mean it wanted to stop having access to EU countries.
“We should be working together. It seems absolutely incredible to me that in the 21st century, the European Union… should be seriously contemplating the introduction of tariffs or whatever to administer punishment to (the) UK,” he said.
“And don’t forget, these things cut both ways. After all, the Germans, as is well known, export one-fifth of their motor manufacturing output.”
The British foreign secretary is due to meet India’s prime minister and finance minister during his two-day trip to the country.
Britain has made clear its desire to boost trade with India, the world’s fastest-growing major economy.
“I think time is fast upon us that we need to turbo charge this relationship with a new free trade deal such as we would shortly be able to do,” Johnson said.
“We can’t negotiate it now but we can sketch it out in pencil, on the back of an envelope,” he added.

Bali's Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary and more!
Lee and I both had night flights from Bali so Lee arranged a driver for us to see some of the highlights on Bali including the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary; I was walking past when this monkey jumped on me and decided to stay
There are 5 monuments on one side of the river at Gunung Kawi and 4 on the other; President Obama lived in Indonesia as a child and has visited this shrine
Rice had just been planted in the Ceking Rice Terraces; Bali is famous for it's beautiful rice terraces (including one that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site but it was too far away)
This would have been Lee and me waiting all day at the Bali airport; instead Lee got us a driver so we could see Bali and the cost was only $56 for the whole day
This temple in the middle of the Sacred Forest Monkey Sanctuary dates from the mid-14th century; admission to the monkey sanctuary was only $5.60
We saw some enormous banyan trees on Bali which are sacred to the Hindus; for the Balinese, the tree is a symbol of unity and power and is depicted on the national coat of arms of Indonesia
I kept getting Lee to inch closer but this was as close as he would get; the monkey didn't seem bothered as he was content eating (I don't think the monkey would have shared though)
The main food of the monkeys is sweet potato but they also like bananas, corn, papaya leaf, coconut and cucumbers; there was plenty of food throughout the sanctuary as these guys were very well fed
Thriving Ubud was congested with American stores (including Circle K); we didn't spend the night at the Ubud Four Seasons like the Obamas did
Gunung Kawi is an 11th-century temple and funerary complex in central Bali that is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the 23 ft high cut rock shrines are carved into sheltered niches of the sheer cliff face
We had to climb up and down 272 steps to reach the Gunung Kawi shrine near Ubud; while we were at the bottom torrential rains came and turned the steps into a waterfall!
There are millions of deities in the Hindu religion and I wonder how you can even know the 100 most important ones; there tend to be more goddesses than gods and, typically, they represent spiritual concepts
Bali has a very modern airport with non-stop service from Istanbul, Moscow, London and all major Asian cities; unfortunately, North Americans have no non-stop service but you could visit Japan, Singapore or Hong Kong en route
Indonesia has banned Chinese visitors due to coronavirus; the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary was full of stone carvings of the various Hindu gods
About 1060 macaques occupy the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary; you're told to not bring food into the park since the monkeys will steal anything (including hats and hand sanitizer)
Locals are buried in temporary graves until they have a community cremation ceremony which, for this community, is only once every 5 years; Hindu customs were followed everywhere we went on Bali
All females participate in protecting and rearing the many babies; the male monkeys live to be 15 on average while the females live closer to 20 years
The monkeys spend a large amount of time grooming each other; our driver highly recommended Komodo National Park (rather than Raja Ampat which he thought was too expensive)
Bali is the only Hindu part of Indonesia, with the rest of the country being majority Muslim; Bali had modern roads and was much more Westernized than other places I've seen in SE Asia
Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary; this area is known for cool glass bowls melted to conform with part of a tree which is used as the base; woodworking is a popular profession with lots of furniture made in the area
There are plenty of Russians visiting Bali (see lower right); the Ubud area has become more famous due to the best-selling book and movie (starring Julia Roberts)- Eat, Pray, Love

REVIEW: ITV’s true life drama ‘Manhunt’ needs to pick up the pace.
by Luke Knowles | Jan 6, 2019 | All, Reviews
Reviewing true stories always makes me a bit uncomfortable. Who am I to critique the lives of people who have been the victims of such a terrible tragedy? But, when a true story is depicted on screen you have to remove emotion and view it as a piece of television drama. ITV’s Manhunt, which is co-written by Senior Investigating Officer Colin Sutton and veteran TV writer Ed Whitmore begins with a caption telling us ‘some names have changed and some situations changed for dramatic purposes.
The three-part drama which airs over three nights this week is based on Sutton’s own memoirs and focuses on the investigation of murders committed in and around London. This first episode focuses on the death of 22-year-old French girl Amélie Delagrange. She’s found dead on Twickenham Green. Sutton is brought in to lead the team investigating her death (she’s been bludgeoned with a hammer we’re led to believe). Martin Clunes, whose production company has made the series stars as Sutton and it’s quite the transformation. Sutton is straight-laced, suited and booted and a back to basics type copper. He’s not weighed down by the magnitude of the task in front of him and tackles everything systematically and pragmatically. His home life is ordinary. He’s happy at home with wife Louise and everything seems fine.
Only this week I droned on about how disappointed I was that the crime element of Luther was left in the foreground with writer Neil Cross preferring to spend more time having his wayward cop race across London to stop one ridiculous calamity after another. Whilst I appreciate Luther isn’t your bog standard crime drama it’s fair to say that Manhunt is the complete antithesis of this. Perhaps because this is based on the true story is pacing is slowed to a crawl as Sutton and his team comb through rivers, watch hours of CCTV and have discussions on their progress.
Whilst I like my crime drama to feel authentic, I really struggled with this first episode. Clunes plays Sutton well, but it’s clear that he’s a character who feels almost too real for television. It’s all quite mundane and uneventful. Calling a TV character ‘ordinary’ isn’t a bad thing, especially when much of the drama in recent memory has been incredibly heightened and over the top, but Sutton is quite a dull character and even although Clunes always has a warm presence on screen the character he’s portraying here doesn’t leave him with a great deal to do. He tells his team early on, “I’m more John Major than Churchill when it comes to speeches’ and I think that sums him up well, he’s not really that memorable or engaging and because the whole piece has him as the focus it feels a little flat.
This isn’t always the case. ITV have had great success with stories of this kind 2011’s Appropriate Adult was incredibly gripping as was 2012’s Mrs Biggs, but those worked because the central characters were really interesting. Here, there isn’t such an engaging character at the centre and while the police investigation has some feels by the book, there’s not much to be excited by or engaged with. As retelling’s of true stories go it does feel incredibly respectable to those involved, and I wouldn’t want it to feel overly sensationalized, but I needed a bit of injection of intrigue or excitement.
I feel I have to say this takes nothing away from the work of Sutton and his team it’s just that as a piece of scripted drama there’s nothing here we haven’t seen before. Sutton was clearly good at his job, he just doesn’t make for a compelling central character that I want to spend the next three hours with.
Manhunt Continues Tomorrow night at 9.00pm and concludes Tuesday at 9.00pm on ITV.

 Live theater lovers in Ocean City/Berlin and surrounding areas are looking forward to an ambitious and versatile finale to the 2019 season of the Ocean Pines Players, with a new production each month, September through December. Some of the productions will be seen for the first time in this area.
Up first was a tribute Salute to Elton John, with performances scheduled for September 9 and 16 at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church on 103rd Street in Ocean City.

In Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks, by American playwright Richard Alfieri, Delaware residents Victoria Cook and Thom Harris play Lily Harrison, a self-described “old biddy” who lives alone, and Michael Minetti, her dance instructor who was forced to leave his life as a chorus boy on Broadway behind.

Elton John Up Next for Ocean Pines Players in an Anniversary Tribute to His Genius
With a successful 8-week run of an original play on the Ocean City Boardwalk behind them, where they paid tribute to the women pioneers who all but made Ocean City the thriving resort town it is today, the Ocean Pines Players (OPP) will highlight their versatility with a Salute to Elton John in another tribute, to be performed in Ocean City in September.
The show, co-produced by Amy Morgan and OPP President Karen McClure, will be performed at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church on 103rd Street in Ocean City on successive Mondays, September 9 and 16, starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door.
Show producer Amy Morgan said the Ocean Pines Players decided to pay tribute to Elton John because “this year is the 50th anniversary of his first album, Empty Sky, released in 1969 in the United Kingdom, and because of the release of Rocket Man, the highly popular movie of his life released earlier this year.
“We knew the timing was right for this, and if our rehearsals are any indication, we were right. They have been mega fun and very productive. Our goal is to be highly electric and a little over the top in true Elton John style, Amy said." We are especially delighted about the addition of two new, young cast members, Zander Jett and Will Devokees. They bring a fresh outlook and energy to the show, making it truly multi-generational and a show meant for the entire family.”
The program of almost two dozen songs includes the 1995 Academy Award winning Can you Feel the Love Tonight, from the hit movie The Lion King, as well as Academy Award nominated songs from the same movie, Hakuna Matata and Circle of Life. Other Elton John favorites on the program are Rocket Man, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and Don’t Go Breakin’ My heart.
In addition to producers Morgan and McClure, Zett and Devokees, the other cast members also are local performers, Dan Carney, Jerry Gietka, Brenda Golden, Dorothy Shelton, and Sharon Sorrentino.
The Ocean Pines Players is a local community theater group that has been entertaining audiences in this area for more than 40 years. Membership in the organization is open to all area residents of all ages.

Psychic Transformation and the Regeneration of Language in Peter S. Beagle's The Last Unicorn
Sue Matheson
10.1353/uni.2005.0045
Critical opinion about Peter S. Beagle's The Last Unicorn (1968) remains sharply divided: there are those who deem the work a minor masterpiece and those who find it simplistic and severely flawed. The overwhelmingly positive audience response to The Last Unicorn, however, indicates that what appears to be a simple story is actually a complex revisioning of the fairy tale. This essay investigates The Last Unicorn as a self-reflexive symbolic narrative that is as much concerned with the regeneration of meaningful language as it is with the process of psychic transformation.
