  • Banquet of Champions Sponsorship Opportunity
    Banquet of Champions Sponsorship Opportunity This August, 10-year-old baseball players from across America will descend upon Hammond for the Cal Ripken World Series at the Hammond Optimist Sports Complex. In addition to a week of top-notch HAMMOND, INDIANA youth baseball coming to our Region, these special young athletes will be AUGUST 4-12, 2017 recognized in grand style at the Banquet of Champions, to be held the evening of Sunday, Aug. 6, 2017, at the Halls of St. George in Schererville. In addition to being recognized for their own accomplishments by advancing to the World Series, players from the 10 participating teams will have the thrill of hearing from a former Major League World Series champion, Munster’s own Hal Morris. A rookie member of the 1990 Cincinnati Reds World Series champions, Morris was a first baseman who played in 10 seasons with the Reds and also saw action with the New York Yankees, Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers. Morris also played in the College World Series for the University of Michigan, and knows how special it is for these young ballplayers to be playing in their own World Series. In his 1990 World Series championship season, Morris hit .340 on the year, which, at the time, was the third-highest batting average by a rookie in 50 years. His sacrifice fly in Game 4 turned out to be the series-winning RBI. He retired from playing in 2000 with a career batting average of .304. From 2012 until 2016, he was the director of professional scouting for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

  • The Oakland Tribune (Oakland
    The Oakland Tribune (Oakland, CA) August 17, 2004 Tuesday Muslim bakery leader confirmed dead BYLINE: By Harry Harris and Chauncey Bailey - STAFF WRITERS SECTION: MORE LOCAL NEWS LENGTH: 917 words OAKLAND -- A man found buried in a shallow grave last month in the Oakland hills was identified Monday as Waajid Aljawaad Bey, 51, president and chief executive officer of Your Black Muslim Bakery, police said. Police would not say how Bey, who assumed leadership of the bakery after the death of Yusuf Bey in September, had died. But Sgt. Bruce Brock said police are investigating the case "as a definite homicide." He would not say whether police think Bey was killed elsewhere before being buried at the site or was killed there and then buried. And while police are certain Bey was deliberately killed, Brock said despite a great deal of speculation, "we're not sure of a motive at this time." Some bakery insiders have feared that Bey's fate may be related to rivalries and a power play in the wake of Yusuf Bey's death from cancer in 2003. Although Bey never really discussed his Muslim activities with relatives, family members "are quite sure [the death] had something to do with him taking over" the organ ization, said a relative who asked not to be named. Bey's badly decomposed remains were discovered July 20 by a dog being walked by its owner on a fire trail that runs off the 8200 block of Fontaine Street near King Estates Middle School. Because of the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the body, it was classified as a homicide at the time, the city's 46th.

  • The Story of Dr. Sidney R. Ga R Field
    GarfieldCoverFINAL.pdf 3/17/09 9:48:53 AM How one physician’s revolutionary vision paved the way from a 12-bed hospital in the Mojave Desert at the height of the Great Depression to what is today the nation’s largest, most successful THE STORY OF nonprot health care organization — Kaiser Permanente. Like the architect he always wanted to be, physician Sidney R. Gareld spent most of his life designing and building a model of a new kind of health care. Built on the foundations of group practice (as opposed to solo practice), prepayment (as opposed to fee-for-service), and prevention and health promotion (as opposed to sick care only), it was in many ways the opposite, mirror-image of the way health care was nanced and delivered in the rest of America. In partnership with Henry J. Kaiser, one of the great industrialists of the early 20th century, Gareld stood rm against waves of early opposition from mainstream medicine and went on DR. SIDNEY R. GA to build one of the most acclaimed and successful health care organizations in America. This book tells the story of Dr. Sidney Gareld’s long and eventful career in turning his desert dream into a thriving and enduring reality that continues to oer a practical model for the future of American health care. C M Words from Permanente Medical Leaders Y CM Thank you for the advance copy of your new Dr. Gareld was a remarkable man and this R MY book on Dr. Gareld. I could not stop reading book does an excellent job of chronicling his FIELD CY it until I had nished it all.
