September 1, 2013 - Frontier League (FL) Florence Freedom FLORENCE, KY - The Florence Freedom are pleased to announce third baseman Jacob Tanis has been named as the Frontier League's Most Valuable Player.

Tanis, 24, was elected the Morgan Burk Award winner as the MVP by managers, coaches, general managers and members of the league's media. Through 91 games this season, the Peachtree, Georgia native is fourth in the league with 17 home runs, and leads the league with 72 RBIs.

"We're so excited to honor Jacob as the MVP," Freedom manager Fran Riordan said. "He has been such a productive player for us both offensively and defensively. He's a great teammate and one of the most professional young men I've ever had the privilege to manage."

Tanis, in his first season with the Freedom, was also recognized on the league's post-season all-star team as the top third baseman. He wins these honors after not making the Frontier League's mid-season classic as an all-star.

"I think this speaks to how clutch he's been to our team down the stretch," Freedom General Manager Josh Anderson said. "He's proven that he's the guy you want at the plate when the chips are down."

The Freedom enter Sunday's action in Washington, Pennsylvania with a record of 51-41 and leading for the Frontier League's final wild card playoff spot by one game over the Gateway Grizzlies.

The Freedom are trying to make it back-to-back seasons with a post-season run. In 2012, the Freedom were league runners-up to the Southern Illinois Miners as the team fell 3-1 in the championship series.

Should Tanis and the Freedom clinch another playoff berth, the most likely scenario for the team to play it's first home game would be Tuesday, September 10 at 6:35pm at University of Cincinnati Medical Center Stadium.

The team will have the opportunity to clinch their playoff berth at home this week when the team returns home for it's final three regular season games Tuesday though Thursday against the Windy City Thunderbolts.

The Freedom are members of the independent professional Frontier League and play all home games at UCMC Stadium, located at 7950 Freedom Way in Florence, Kentucky. Playoff reserved ticket vouchers are currently on sale for only $8. The Freedom may be reached at 859-594-HITS (4487).

Freedom Park: Telling the real African story

But this is not another apartheid museum. Nor is it the Hector Peterson Museum, or the Sharpville or Boipatong Monument. It is not Rhobben Island Museum, or the Kliptown Monument. It is much deeper. It goes back 3.6 billion years in history to tell an African story.//hapo attempts to tell an African story that has been distorted, suppressed and silenced. The story is divided into seven epochs.1.Earth - dealing with the creation of the universe. 2. Ancestors - exploring the concept of ancestors from physical to spiritual perspectives. 3. Peopling - showcasing Africa's pre-conquest societies from Timbuktu to Mapungubwe. 4. Resistance and Colonisation - recounting the major historical forces that gave birth to modern South Africa. 5. Industrialisation and Ubarnisation - dealing with exploration of minerals and its impacts on our lives. 6. Nationalisation and Struggle - stories from the tyrannical rule of colonisation and apartheid to a new South Africa.

Touring //hapo after a short welcome reception, which involves beating of drums and singing, and before a presentation on the first epoch, a quote from the opening of Thabo Mbeki's monumental speech, "I am an African," a speech which I think inspired Freedom Park, is plastered on the wall: "I owe my being to the hills and the valleys, the mountains and the glades, the rivers, the deserts, the trees, the flowers, the seas and the ever-changing seasons that define the face of our native land."

We are told that this speech actually informs all what //hapo is. I was there as a guest of South African Tourism, and I made a mental note to re-read the speech. We were then taken through the African story of creation of the universe. In the beginning, the story begins, there was uMvelingaqangi (the Creator). Then came the figure of uNomkhubulwane (the female water God). With uNomkhubulwane by his side, uMvelingaqangi became inspired and created first the rock, then fire, followed by water. Rock, fire and water mixed and crashed, and from the eruption was formed the endlessness universe. From the fire came the sun, and in a dark night sky, the moon and the stars. Earth came from the rock while water produced the oceans and the rivers. After Water and Earth, life began. Humans came later from the reeds and multiplied. There is no mention of Genesis or Adam and Eve in this account.

And this is how death came into being. uMvelingaqangi instructed the chameleon to send a message that the people would live on earth forever. But the chameleon stopped on the way to eat some berries and took long to arrive. This got the Creator angry. He then sent the lizard to tell people that they would instead die. The lithe lizard moved fast and delivered the message of death to the people before the chameleon, busy with berries, could reach the destination. It is said when chameleon finally arrived, people rejected his message of eternal life as they felt he had acted irresponsibly by putting personal appetite above duty. I am astonished that this story having been told to us innumerable times over, most people have stuck to the Bible version of death. I remember one outing with the boys in the bush when went on a killing spree of both chameleons and lizards after hearing this story.Said the curator of Freedom Park ,Sipho Mdanda: "We don't just state the previously distorted facts. //hapo is a living interpretive centre, one with which every South African will identify personally." But when we left //hapo for the next part of the park, my fascination was with its presentation of African (black) indigenous knowledge. There is a feeling that //hapo was meant to also crush the egos of those who claimed they were 'a superior God's chosen race'.

The next part is the Mveladzo, a Tshivenda word meaning spiral paths. The paths link all the park elements and are meant to take visitors on a "contemplative and painstaking hike symbolising the tough journey that South Africa went through". Visitors are then allowed rest at Uistpanplek, an Afrikaans word meaning resting place. The main memorial is named S'khumbuto (siSwati for memorial) and is a testimony to eight conflicts that have shaped the South Africa of today. These are Pre-Colonial Wars, Slavery, Genocide, Wars of Resistance, the South African War (formerly known as Anglo-Boer War), The First and the Second World War and the Struggle for Liberation. Skhumbuto comprises eight elements, each one with its own symbolism and meaning, namely, Wall of Names (with over 75,000 names of peopled that died in all South African conflicts), Amphitheatre, Sanctuary, Eternal Flame (that pays tribute to the unsung heroes and heroines who died without their names being recorded in history), Reeds, President's Tree (fittingly planted by Thabo Mbeki), Moshate (VIP suite) and Gallery of Leaders.

The Gallery of Leaders is said to showcase those leaders whose contributions stand out in human memory and history. It aims to inspire visitors to emulate the sacrificial and heroic lives of these commemorated leaders. The leaders that Freedom Park urges us to emulate as role models are Argentina's Che Guavara, Angola 's Argostinho Neto, Ghana's Kwame Nkurumah, Tanzania's Julius Nyerere and South Africans, O. R. Tambo, Robert Sobukwe, Steve Biko, Lillian Ngoyi and Helen Joseph, the latter two being the only women in the gallery.The fifth major element of Freedom Park is Isivivane (Nguni word for scared space). This is the spiritual resting place for those who played a part in the freedom and liberation of South Africa. Isivivane has four key components; Lesaka and its boulders, Lekgotla, water and trees called Umlahlankosi.

Prior to the opening of the park, cleansing and healing and Return of Spirits ceremonies were performed throughout the areas of conflict in South Africa and internationally. We hear that soil from these conflict areas was brought to Lesaka as part of laying the spirits to rest. Each of the nine South African provinces provided a boulder from a place of importance to construct Lesaka. These nine boulders plus two others representing South Africa's national government and the international community form the circular face of Lesaka.I removed my shoes, in accordance with the requirement for visitors who enter Isivivane to pay homage to thousands of 'my people' who perished in these conflicts. I circled around Lesaka touching each boulder and silently uttering salutations to the thousands of spirits resting here.And this is how we do it in Africa. Mbeki observed in 1996: "Today, as a country, we keep an audible silence about these ancestors of the generations that live, fearful to admit the horror of a former deed, seeking to obliterate from our memories a cruel occurrence which, in its remembering, should teach us not and never to be inhuman again." Like the water bowels that our society keeps at the entrance of homesteads during funerals, water points are stationed at the exit of Isivivane for visitors to wash their hands when leaving this sacred place. I obliged accordingly and felt good to be African, now that there is a place where an African story is told by an African voice.

Freedom Park: Telling the real African story

Freedom House Church did not seem all that free this weekend.

Freedom House Church did not seem all that free this weekend.

Makeda Pennycooke, the churchs executive pastor of operations, sent an email to church volunteers asking that only white people greet worshippers at church services.The emailsaidthat leaders anticipated an increased number of visitors in the coming weeks, and that since first impressions matter, the church wants the best of the best on the front doors.

An outraged church member received the email and sent it to local news station WBTV. The controversy is complicated because Pennycooke is a black woman, while senior pastors Troy and Penny Maxwell are white. Nonetheless, the churchs request was hard to misinterpret.We are continuing to work to bring our racial demographic pendulum back to mid-line, Pennycooke wrote.We would rather have less greeters on the front door if it means that the few that we have will represent us the best.

Freedom House, a diverse church in north Charlotte, has already apologized for the incident. The email was sent by one of our longtime pastors in an attempt to emphasize that our greeting team reflect the racial diversity of our entire congregation, a church spokesperson wrote in astatement to WBTV. However, she admitted it was a mistake to over-emphasize any specific group and sent an apology email within 24 hours of the original email going out.

Freedom House has four services every weekend. Five values drive its mission, according to the churchwebsite: We are anequippingchurch (Ephesians 4:11-13); arelationally healthychurch (Matthew 18:19-20); anexcellentchurch (Daniel 6:3); aleadershipchurch; and agenerouschurch (Proverbs 11:24-25).

If anything, the incident serves as a reminder of another biblical passage, Apostle Pauls teaching that the Christian gospel breaks down all barriers between humans. There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female, he wrote in the New Testament book of Galatians. All of you are one in Christ Jesus.

UPDATE at 2:15pm: Here is the full statement and apology from Freedom House regarding the incident.

One of our longtime pastors, in keeping with our churchs desire to be inclusive and intentionally reach out to all races, noticed our front door greeting team was no longer reflecting the racial diversity of our entire congregation, and she wanted potential visitors to see people like themselves upon entering our church. However, she made an error in judgment in requesting all white greeters at the front door, going overboard in placing emphasis on any one race over another in trying to highlight diversity within the greeting team. She admits this was a grave lapse in judgment and is sincerely sorry for her actions. She immediately apologized and has asked our forgiveness. She and senior pastors have made themselves available to meet with any church members who want to discuss this situation with them, and have communicated their true heart in this matter to be a church welcoming and inclusive to all.Freedom Housebelieves in a diverse relationship within its membership, reflecting the larger community in which the church resides, doing life together as a church representative of everyone culturally, ethnically, economically, and generationally.
