  • Rob Belanger's Voice Fills Nativity One Last Time
    Rob Belanger’s voice fills Nativity one last time By Nancy Menefee Jackson Special to the Review TIMONIUM – Except for muffled sobs, the Church of the Nativity was completely silent as the voice of Robert “Rob” Belanger filled the church one last time at the funeral Mass for the former music director Jan. 7. The funeral program explained the story behind “The One Who Is Love,” the beautiful song that so moved the 600 people who filled the pews and approximately 900 more who watched on video screens in overflow spaces. Belanger had traveled to Germany for treatment of the prostate cancer that would take his life at 47 on Dec. 30, 2016. “On the second night, unable to sleep, heartsick and in pain – at the lowest point in his life – Rob prayed and opened the scriptures, searching for solace,” according to the funeral program. “He couldn’t read through the tears. Late into the night, Rob quieted and settled into a deep realization that he was covered by the grace of God. He was not abandoned, but rescued. His despairing heart began to praise.” Belanger had said that God spoke directly to him, giving him the music and lyrics that would become the song. “How abundantly God blessed him, even in his time of suffering,” Father Michael White, pastor, said in his homily. “I personally give thanks for the many hearts Rob touched here through his music.” Father White drew a laugh as he recalled what a perfectionist Belanger could be when it came to music. But he grew serious as he said, “While we know how deeply Rob believed, he did so imperfectly, just like the rest of us.

  • Heroes and Rallies Baseball
    Heroes and Rallies Baseball Setup Pick two teams to go head to head, and fill out your lineups on the scoresheet. Each team receives 8 skill assignments to give to individual players. All of the skill assignments listed below must be used within your starting lineup for a total of 8. A player may possess two assignments if you wish. Rate your lineup by placing the appropriate notation beside a player’s name on the scoresheet. 1) star hitter (H) 2) star slugger (S) 3) star runner (R) 4) star fielder (F) 5) poor hitter (H-) 6) weak hitter (S-) 7) slow runner (R-) 8) poor fielder (F-) Once a player has a skill assignment, he cannot transfer it to another player. There is one additional skill assignment available for an ace pitcher (X). You may, however, choose not to start one. Make any pitcher a poor hitter as well (H-), so there will be two poor hitters if a pitcher is in the lineup. Game Play Roll the dice for each player who comes up to bat, reading the colored die first and the white die second. If a result occurs on the Batting chart which displays an image of a ballplayer, the inning is considered finished with no further scoring. Draw an X in the box on the scoresheet representing the current hitter’s at-bat. When his team next comes up to bat, the next player in the lineup will hit. If the color of a chart result corresponds to the color of the skill assignment of the player who is currently up to bat, the result changes to the one shown on the bottom of the Batting chart.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Prevent Defense: Rush Three Down Lineman, Drop Or Replace the Linebackers, and Add Defensive Backs
    Prevent Defense: Rush three down lineman, drop or replace the linebackers, and add defensive backs. Allow the offense to throw underneath the coverage and avoid giving up a big play. Just a bunch of little gains! In a nutshell, the Prevent Defense! It works, for awhile, until a smart quarterback catches the defense off guard with a quick snap & the speedy tailback runs up the middle for a big gain! Or until the offense gets inside field goal range for a winning kick or close enough to the end zone to launch a Hail Mary pass! Then that same smart quarterback throws it just shy of the goal line, where all the ‘good hands’ D-Backs are waiting, into the arms of his 6’6” tight end who catches the ball and falls across the goal line for a touchdown! We are definitely proponents of a strong defense. Baseball’s Earl Weaver believed in good pitching & a three run homer, but his Baltimore Oriole teams were put together the way baseball teams were supposed to be built – solid defense up the middle! Catcher Elrod Hendricks, 2B Davey Johnson, SS Mark Belanger & CF Paul Blair were among the best defensive players in the league! Yet the best defensive player on the team was the incredible 3B Brooks Robinson, The Human Vacuum Cleaner! But winning means scoring & those three run homers and offensive touchdowns win games! It seems to us the Fed is playing a prevent defense -- allowing small gains while preventing a bubble from forming or popping. At the moment, there is not a bubble to really attract our attention.
