COVER PHOTO BY OLEG SEMKOFF Mellens Named Grand Marshalls for Long Beach Parade by Laurie Wink Janet, Josh, Lilli, Jackie and Jenni stand in the doorway of the Long Beach house where two generations of Mellens were raised. Inset: Joe Mellen The Mellen family will be Grand Marshalls for this year’s July 4th Long Beach Parade. The Beacher talked to them about the honor on Fa- ther’s Day weekend and the conversation quickly turned to patriarch Joe Mellen. Joe won’t be riding with them in the vintage vehicle along the parade route. A Long Beach volunteer fi reman, Joe won’t ride in the fi re truck at the head of the parade. And he won’t help his seven broth- ers build yet another of the blockbuster Mellen parade fl oats that often capture the top prize. Joseph Mellen III passed away Aug. 2 last year, just shy of his 53rd birthday. The month before, he and his wife The lovely Mellen women strike a pose in the family’s beautiful backyard. THE June 28, 2012 Page 3 Janet celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. Joe was born in Detroit but Long Beach was his home. In fact, Joe and Janet raised daughters Jack- ie, 29, and Jenni, 26 in the same Long Beach house on Grassmere where he grew up, along with eight brothers. “Another day in paradise” was Joe’s favorite line, his family said, lauding the community he loved. Joe was a beloved family man and devoted commu- nity member, a gregarious guy whose phone was al- ways ringing and appointment book fi lled. His family said Joe was a computer geek who liked to have the latest gadgets. Each year, he at- tended a software convention to learn about cutting- edge technology. It was part of his job as senior vice president and chief technology offi cer of Horizon Bank, where he worked for 28 years. Joe was the voice of Horizon Bank’s radio commercials and he served as master of ceremonies for the Hoosier Star competition. He chaired the Long Beach Zoning Ap- peals Board, was an active member of the Michigan City Chamber of Commerce and put his energies into helping the Marquette High School Athletic Department and Habitat for Humanity. An avid golfer, Joe was always up for a round at Long Beach Country Club, located just a chip shot away from his house. Son-in-law Josh Hutchison, Jackie’s husband, smiles when he talks about the Father’s Day golf outings that he and Joe partici- pated in every year. The pair enjoyed wearing out- rageous matching golf outfi ts. “We’d call each other and talk about wild ideas for our outfi ts,” Josh says. “One year we wore purple shirts and every-color-in-the-rainbow pants.” Joe’s daughters describe him as a good father who coached their softball teams from the time they were Kindergarteners at Notre Dame School until they graduated from Michigan City High School. He also found time to assist with the Marquette Catho- lic High School girls’ softball team. The Mellens liked to take active vacation trips – traveling to Puerto Rico to hike the rain forest and snorkeling on St. John in the Virgin Islands. Joe’s adventurous spirit prompted him to try skydiving recently and he was immediately hooked. Joe also was hooked on his granddaughter Lil- lian (Lilli) Hutchison, now 18 months old. She is constantly in motion with a big smile on her face. It seems she might take after the man she called “Papa” Joe. Norm Bruemmer, a member of the Long Beach Civic Association with his wife Pat, said the asso- ciation members select annual parade grand mar- shalls who embody the spirit of Long Beach. He said it’s an honor the Mellen family well deserves. So as Long Beach celebrates the Spirit of ’76 on Independence Day, Joe Mellen’s affable spirit will be found amid the festivities and in the hearts of those whose lives he touched.

    Press Release: Diamond Girls, Menagerie Productions By Maureen Ulrich Asper Centre, U of W , 400 Colony Street July-13 8:15 PM July-15 2:45 PM July-17 6:15 PM July-18 9:45 PM July-21 8:30 PM July-23 1:45 PM July-24 12:00 PM Penny Marshall’s A League of Their Own (1992) is a movie favourite for many, and certainly one for playwright Maureen Ulrich. Her one-act, one-woman show Diamond Girls portrays the twelve-year saga of Philip K. Wrigley’s celebrated All- American Girls Professional Baseball League, as seen through the eyes of three Saskatchewan players. Mary “Bonnie” Baker, Arleene Johnson Noga, and Daisy Junor all boarded the Sioux Line for Chicago to play with the South Bend Blue Sox or Muskegon Lassies. One of the League’s most publicized players, Baker played ten years, making the All- Star team in ’43 and ’46 and becoming its first and only female manager. Last summer Ulrich saw a Leader Post article about the commemoration for Baker at Regina’s Central Park and got the notion to turn the topic into a play. Within a few months, the project became part of the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame’s 2016 50th anniversary celebration. Malia Becker, 27, of Regina plays all three women, as well as their families, Wrigley, some teammates and reporters, a chaperone, a manager, and a charm school instructor –twenty-one characters in total. Although Becker has little experience with softball or baseball, she played wide receiver with the Regina Riot in the “Lingerie” League.

  • 1944 All-American Girls Baseball League
    HISTORY MAKER BASEBALL 1944 All-American Girls Professional Baseball League One of the top movies of 1992 was the film “A League of Their Own,” starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O’Donnell and Madonna, a story about a women’s professional baseball league formed during World War II. The movie was a critical and commercial success, earning glowing reviews, topping the box office by its second week of release, and earning over $150 million in ticket sales. The catch phrase, “There’s no crying in baseball!”—uttered by Rockford Peaches manager Jimmy Dugan (played by Hanks) made the American Film Instutute’s list of Greatest Movie Lines of All-Time, and the film itself was selected by the Library of Congress in 2012 for preservation in the National Film Registry, as being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” Interestingly, when the film opened in ’92, relatively few of the people who saw it knew that it was based on an actual, real-life league—many thought it was complete fiction. But the fictionalized account portrayed in the movie was, in fact, based on a very real story. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was formed in 1943 out of concern that with so many players serving in World War II, big league baseball might be forced to suspend operations. The idea was that perhaps women could keep the game active and on the minds of baseball fans until the men could return from the war. The new league was bankrolled by big league owners, conducted nation-wide tryouts to stock its four inaugural teams with talented women players, and began competitive play in the spring of ’43—just as the movie’s screenplay detailed.

    All About Kalamazoo History – Kalamazoo Public Library Baseball in Kalamazoo (Since 1890) The Dead Ball Era A Rough and Rowdy Sport By the late 1800s, baseball had become America’s favorite pastime—perhaps the most widely played sport in the country—and it had changed considerably. No longer a casual game reserved for the country club elite, baseball had become a rough and rowdy sport of the working class, where beer and cigars were seemingly required equipment, and ardent rivalries among local and regional teams were Kalamazoo College Men's Baseball Team, c.1896 Kalamazoo College CACHE: College Academic and Historical Experience commonplace. It was during this era that the American Association (1882 to 1891) earned its nickname “Beer and Whiskey League” for selling beer at games (four of the league’s owners were brewmasters), playing on Sundays (a 19th century taboo), and opening the sport to working-class spectators.

    EX ALDERMAN NEWSLETTER 299 AND CHESTERFIELD 244 October 16, 2017 TOWN AND COUNTRY WARD-4 ALDERWOMAN LINDA RALLO ANNOUNCES SHE WILL NOT RUN FOR REELECTION: Linda Rallo defeated Phil Behnen in 2014 when Phil voted for rezoning land from residential to major educational so Maryville University could move sport fields and a garage to Conway Road. The measure passed but people living on Conway Road near Maryville vowed to unseat Behnen and they did by electing Linda Rallo. She pissed off the same people who elected her by endorsing Fred Meyland-Smith, the gasbag, in 2015, who over the years has repeatedly shown he does not believe in fundamental constitutional rights. They were upset that Meyland-Smith voted for the rezoning like Benigas did and also lectured them when they spoke at aldermanic meetings. However, Rallo ran unopposed in 2016. It can be hard to find people to run for office from Ward-4 where some of the wealthiest people in a wealthy city live. Linda wrote that she is retiring, but I don’t believe there are any retirement benefits for a 2-term alderperson. Here is part of an email Linda sent out on Tuesday October 10: 1 Rallo, who like Mayor Dalton is lobbyist in Jefferson City, but lobbies for Alliance for Childhood Education, a group where she is vice president. They routinely have meetings in Jefferson City on Mondays that conflict with Board of Aldermen meetings. Dalton meanwhile lobbies for companies doing business in Town and Country.
