Meiring, murder, subversion, and treason: Duterte's beef with US
Philippine president-elect Rodrigo Duterte's spokesperson recently stated that the coolness between Duterte and the U.S. government — well, Duterte's disdain for the U.S., which he expressed as "hatred" when the subject of American finger-wagging came up — goes back to the Michael Meiring case in 2002.

Philippine president-elect Rodrigo Duterte's spokesperson recently stated that the coolness between Duterte and the U.S. government — well, Duterte's disdain for the U.S., which he expressed as "hatred" when the subject of American finger-wagging came up — goes back to the Michael Meiring case in 2002.
But that's just the tip of a big, bloody iceberg.
Meiring, a US citizen, was sharing a hotel room in Duterte's town of Davao City on the island of Mindanao with his ammonium nitrate bomb, which exploded on May 16, 2002. Meiring was severely injured; nevertheless, US government agents appeared at the hospital and spirited him away, first to Manila and then to the United States. Unsurprisingly, it was widely suspected that Meiring was some sort of U.S. agent engaged in local skulduggery.
Rodrigo Duterte's "hatred" for the U.S. is linked to a blast incident in a Davao City hotel room in 2002 involving a criminal suspect whom the American agents spirited away to Manila and then to the U.S. without the permission of the local government
On May 13, 2016, the New York Times engaged in a rather feeble exercise in hand-waving the problem aside in a piece titled Mysterious Blast in Philippines Fuels Rodrigo Deterte's 'Hatred' of U.S. It included gems like
But a former C.I.A. official who served in the Philippines discounted the possibility that Mr. Meiring was a C.I.A. operative. While the former official was not familiar with details of the Meiring case, he said keeping explosives in his hotel room and joking about "Christ in Action" would be obvious violations of agency protocol.
And reportage like
The [U.S.] embassy acknowledged that F.B.I. agents went to the Evergreen Hotel to investigate the explosion but "categorically" denied that the agency "had any role in Mr. Meiring's departure."
The general drift is Duterte should Let It Go! And refrain from hanging a Yankee-Go-Home narrative on this ancient and murky episode.
Well, there's more to the story — more criminality and more relevance — than a big bang in a little room 14 years ago.
The story put out was that Meiring was a bugnuts treasure hunter/white supremacist/counterfeiter who wanted to fund the Fifth Reich by digging up Nazi gold stashed in the Philippines.
But a week after the blast, it was already clear something was up with the Meiring case:
Sources said FBI agents supposedly fetched Miering at the hospital on Sunday without informing local officials who are set to file charges of illegal possession of explosives against him.
Miering, who is reportedly now confined at the Makati Medical Center, was brought to Manila aboard a Subic Air Lear jet, RPC 1426, allegedly chartered by the US Embassy. The aircraft arrived at the Davao airport at about 9 a.m. Sunday and left an hour and a half later.
Then, according to the Manila Times:
Among the most startling developments in the Meiring case was Immigration Deputy Commissioner Daniel Queto's admission last week that no less than agents of the US National Security Council had brought Meiring from Davao to Manila.
Almost immediately after the blast, security tightened around Meiring. Hawthorn [a friend of Meiring's] told The Times: "I was told by a Filipino in Davao, carrying a message from the US Embassy that Michael would never be charged with a crime in connection with the explosion. The investigation will end up at a stone wall. Michael will be protected and eventually taken back to the safety of the United States. The incident will be shortly forgotten, if you're willing to forget it."
Somehow Meiring ended up in the United States. Although he changed his last name to Van de Meer, a reporter at a Houston TV station tracked him down and notified the Philippines. Meiring was never extradited, however, for the stated reason that the Philippines could not produce a photograph of him in custody to confirm his identity. Apparently, Meiring died in the U.S. in 2010.
This US government involvement invites speculation that Meiring was some species of U.S. spook doing mischief in Mindanao, and his bomb was part of some kind of destabilization or false flag operation.
Guess what? That's what Duterte suspects. As CNN reported in 2011:
The explosion inside the hotel room happened in May 2002, and in March 2003 a bomb ripped thru the waiting shed of the old Davao International Airport which was followed a month later by another explosion in the Sasa wharf that resulted to the death of several people and the wounding of hundreds more.
"When a bomb exploded at the airport followed by another explosion at the wharf several months after the hotel explosion that injured Meiring, that was when I started suspecting that the US could have had a hand in the said explosions. My suspicion was fueled when a military officer declared in public that the CIA have connections with known terror groups here," Duterte said.
Allegations concerning false flag terror attacks were dramatically highlighted in July 2002 by a twenty-hour mutiny staged by 300 junior officers and troops in downtown Manila. Nick Soudakoff reported:
They accused the Arroyo government and the AFP [Armed Forces of the Philippines] leadership of corruption, including selling guns and ammunition to the Abu Sayyaf terrorist gang, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Maoist New People's Army (NPA).
They warned that the government was plotting to declare martial law in August, and accused the AFP of carrying out the March 4 and April 3 bombings in Davao City, Mindanao, in an effort to frame the MILF as "terrorists" and attract increased US military funding and support. Those attacks killed 37 people and injured hundreds.
These charges are particularly explosive as the rebels were from the AFP's elite Light Reaction Company, Scout Ranger Regiment and other Army and Philippine Marines units. According to the July 30 Cebu-based Sun.Star, the majority of the mutinous officers have had combat assignments in Mindanao, many being decorated for "gallantry".
The first political casualty for the government was General Corpus, who resigned on July 30. The mutineers had accused him of masterminding the Davao terrorist bombings.
Indeed, the notoriously tough-on-crime Duterte has become remarkably lenient when it comes to pursuing the alleged perpetrators of the Davao airport and wharf outrages, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front or MILF. In 2003, Duterte offered to resign if it turned out the MILF was not behind the attack; in 2015 he rather casually dismissed the allegation that the chief MILF peace negotiators had actually been indicted for the bombings under a different name:
Duterte said that members of the rebel group like the MILF usually commit crimes while fighting with the government. He said the government usually gives amnesty to rebels that clear them of the crimes they committed in the past.
So, Duterte is not just nursing an old grudge over a "mysterious" explosion that maimed a US citizen and an evacuation operation that shouldered aside his cops; he suspects the U.S. was involved in a campaign of terror that killed or injured hundreds of people in his city.
And add to that butcher's bill apparent US cultivation of a nexus of corruption and conspiracy within the Philippine military at the highest level.
Is it plausible that Meiring was involved in some MILF-related shenanigans? Consider this 2003 report in the Mindanao News on what was extracted from Meiring's hotel room:
The other box contained partially burned documents that would unravel partly the mystery behind the man who called himself Michael Terence Meiring.
Among the documents found in the box was an "officer" identification card of the Moro National Liberation Front's Bangsamoro Armed Forces, bearing Meiring's name, photograph and September 17, 1935 as date of birth.
And this, from the same piece:
The source said Meiring's predictions "always came true" such as the peso-dollar rate reaching this and that level. But what the source cannot forget was when Meiring said in January last year that with the Americans coming for Balikatan, sporadic bombings were to be expected and there would be a "big one." When the source asked Meiring if the General Santos City bombing on April 21 last year was the 'big one," Meiring reportedly said no. Fifteen persons were killed and 55 others were injured in that blast.
After Santos City bombing, Meiring got blown up in his hotel room. Then came the blasts at the Davao airport (21 killed, 148 wounded) and Sasa Wharf (17 killed, 56 wounded).
A plausible narrative emerges of the CIA and its buddies in the Philippine military collaborating on a series of false flag atrocities to justify a war against the MILF and build the case for more US military involvement in Mindanao. By this reading, Meiring was in Davao doing his Alden Pyle thing (for those of you who enjoy Graham Greene references) when his bomb went bang. And then the bombs kept coming…
…until the U.S. reversed itself and entered into negotiations with the MILF in 2003 (I'm suspecting this initiative was midwived by Muammar Gaddafi, a long-time MILF backer, as part of his rapprochement with the Bush administration) and began sponsoring a peace process between Manila and southern insurgents.
The US continued to insert CIA and FBI agents into Mindanao and onto Duterte's turf without notifying him, as well as slotting as many of 6,000 troops into the region as part of a JSOC anti-terrorist operation mainly to target Abu Sayyaf, itself the tainted fruit of US recruitment of Philippine Muslims to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan and, until the policy reversal on the MILF, the Philippine military's preferred covert asset in the struggle with Mindanao separatists.
Duterte opposes Balikatan, the joint US-Philippine military exercises
The U.S. continues to orchestrate anti-terrorist operations on Mindanao with its allies in the Philippine central government security apparatus, sometimes with disastrous results, like the Mamasapano operation that left 44 Philippine Special Action Force personnel dead in January 2015.
Unsurprisingly, Duterte is not a fan of the U.S. presence. He opposes the Balikatan, the joint US-Philippine military exercises, as disruptive to the peace process and communal harmony between Moro Muslims and Christians. In 2013, Duterte revealed he and his daughter (who served as mayor of Davao for a while) refused to allow the U.S. to operate drones out of the old airport at Davao (where the 2003 bombing had taken place).
At that time Davao Today reported:
EBF Mindanao's Bishop Beny Dapitan IFI said the US government "approached the wrong person" in Duterte, who is known for his nationalist stance against US military intervention.
"He, the Sangguniang Panlungsod (City Council) and majority of the barangay captains had previously declared Davao City as a No-Balikatan/ No US troops zone," Dapitan said.
So Meiring is not ancient history. The Meiring case is simply an inflection point in a multi-decade and ongoing US program of misjudgment, misbehavior, and mayhem in Mindananao that continues to the present day.
Unfortunately for the United States, that campaign has gone on for fourteen years right under the disgusted nose of the man who is now poised to become president of the Philippines.

Today's episode comes from a place where most of us have been (or still are)- probably more than once in our lives.
I've always wondered why our generation of young Muslims has a harder time maintaining consistency than the previous ones. And the answer is obvious- our Emaan (faith) has more reasons to fluctuate!
In today's episode, you'll learn 5 practical ways in which you can stay consistent even when your Emaan gets weak.
Almas, JazakAllah for reaching out. I can see that you are actively trying to become a better person, which is great- Masha'Allah!
Our emaan changes because two powers are pulling our faith in 2 opposite directions. Shaytan and our Nafs towards the darker side and the light within us towards Allah S.W.T.
If the strongest Companions of the Prophet S.A.W felt these dips in their emaan even when the Prophet S.A.W was there to guide them in-person, then of course we aren't safe.
We live in the times of fitnah. It's understood that our emaan will fluctuate. The question is not of if but when. Nobody's emaan is safe from Shaytan. Shaytan is always doing his best to attack our emaan.
Here's the thing though: Little dips in your faith are fine, can be easily managed. But it's not healthy for your emaan to vary between extremes, that it gets so low to the point you can't do anything. You either end up getting off-track and sin more, or you leave all the good habits you'd developed such as listening to lectures, praying on-time etc.
To prevent your emaan from fluctuating between extremes, we need consistency in our acts of Ibadah. That's understood.
But how do you stay consistent especially when you feel like you need to force yourself into engaging in good deeds all the time?
How to stay consistent even when you're getting exasperated and the acts of Ibadah are, in that particular moment, a burden for you.
I have 5 super-effective tips for you to stay consistent even when your emaan is not in the best of shape.
1. The first one is dividing your Islamic goals into bite-sized tasks.
Which one of the statements sounds more appealing to you?
"I'm going to read the Tafseer of Quran today".
"I'm going to read the Tafseer of Quran for 5 mins today".
I know what you're thinking- 5 mins? What am I going to learn in 5 mins?
Maybe very little. But isn't it better to read Quran for 5 mins everyday than read it for an hour for a few weeks every day, and then stop completely for a longg time because now that one goal is getting difficult to keep up with?
Do you know why such an emphasis is made on small but consistent? Because when you do something consistently that maybe very little, that gives you a sense of achievement and with time, you will want to do MORE of it. It's as simple as that.
And it's easy to stay in the loop when our emaan is strong but what happens when it gets weak? We are more prone to let go of all the difficult or overwhelming goals first.
But if your goal was as simple as read Quran for 5 mins, then it becomes a small easy task that you can surely manage even in a relatively lower state of emaan. So make your goals bite-sized that it becomes a no-brainer for your "self" to stick to it.
2. The second piece of advice I have for you Almaas, is to train your mind to be able to clearly differentiate between voluntary and obligatory acts of Ibadah.
What does that have to do with Istiqamah? And pshh Aimen, who doesn't know the difference between voluntary and obligatory acts of Ibadah?
You see, when you are going through a period of low emaan, Shaytan takes that opportunity to convince you to leave everything because "what's the point right?" I mean you're listening to music and replying back to your parents, you're sinning, why should you even bother to pray your Fard (obligatory) prayers? You might as well leave them too and "fix" yourself AFTER you've gotten out of this "phase".
If you're not listening to motivational lectures anymore or are sinning in some way does NOT MAKE IT OKAY for you to leave your Fard acts of Ibadah. Because if you keep leaving them then you can certainly kiss Istiqamah goodbye.
Fard acts of Ibadah are a MAJOR source of increasing your emaan and keeping yourself spiritually connected to Allah.
"I'm a Muslim. I DO NOT have the freedom of choice of whether to perform the obligatory acts of Ibadah or not. I'm bound to practice them no matter what" . That's why they are obligatory in the first place.
Repeat that until your soul knows it like you know your name back and forth.
That's a conversation you have when your soul is in denial and believes that the Fajr prayer is an act of choice, even though you know it isn't.
Point is- We need to release the attachment of obligatory acts of Ibadah from our level of emaan.
DO NOT make the voluntary acts of Ibadah Obligatory upon yourself.
Aishah (R.A) reported: The Prophet (S.A.W) came in when a woman was sitting beside me. He asked me, "Who is she?" I said: "She is the one whose performance of Salat (prayer) has become the talk of the town." Addressing her, he (S.A.W) said, "(What is this!) You are required to take upon yourselves only what you can carry out easily. By Allah, Allah does not withhold His Mercy and forgiveness of you until you neglect and give up (good works). Allah likes the deeds best which a worshipper can carry out constantly". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
How amazing is that Hadith? Puts everything into perspective doesn't it?
So do yourself a favor and stop doing either everything or nothing.
That brings me to the third piece of advice I have for you: When you're feeling overwhelmed, take breaks before you burnout.
Don't force yourself to keep doing everything. Just stick to the Fard (obligatory) acts of Ibadah. And take a complete break from everything else that seems overwhelming to prevent burnout. You can absolutely leave out some of the voluntary acts for a day or two or for longer so to give yourself a break.
So if you're in the habit of praying Tahajjud along with your Fard prayers, and it's getting too much for you to keep doing all these acts of Ibadah- drop the voluntary ones. So you don't end up leaving everything you started, including the obligatory acts.
But there's a catch- You can't take really long breaks- I'm talking weeks or months- No can do. You can only take short breaks to recover or prevent emotional burnouts because the larger the break, the more difficult it gets to come back on track. And you lose all the good habits that took you so so very long to develop. And that's bad.
The reason why I say growth-minded is because when you're feeling a drop in faith, their words and actions can remind you to stay on-track , because no matter how wise or learned we are, we ALL need reminders.
My pack is my family. Alhamdulilah I've been blessed with a like-minded family. If you are too, then build a strong communication with them to keep each other in the loop.
But back in my med school, when I was living in the hostel, I didn't have the luxury of having my family or a like-minded group of friends.
I did put an effort to find and make friends with like-minded Muslims, but I gave up my search too soon when I shouldn't have. MYP is a platform that was created from a need I felt personally for myself. But it's your virtual pack. And although virtual is great in its own way, like the ability to connect with Muslims of different cultures from all over the globe at potentially any time, you also need to find people around you. Because trust me, it makes a whole lot of difference in keeping you consistent.
"Man follows his friend's religion, you should be careful who you take for friends". [At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud].
And BTW, who you listen to, who you read, or watch (I'm talking lectures)- they all come in the choice of your company.
The Fifth super-effective tip I want to share with you Almaas is that never lose out on your spiritual connection with Allah.
Has this ever happened to you that you've been living away from your family, and you've been calling your mom every day. But then you stop for some reason. And you call her after a few weeks only to find it much more difficult to open up to her and share? And the weeks turn into months, and you find it more and more difficult to share things with her.
You see with distance and time, communication suffers- and when communication suffers, the relationship suffers.
So although Allah S.W.T is there waiting for us to reach out to Him Always, but our spiritual relationship with Allah suffers when we stop all forms of communication with Him.
Salah, duas and reading Quran are all forms of communication with Allah S.W.T. Don't miss out on them.
No matter how weak your emaan gets, and you feel like you can't face Allah, or feel guilty because of your sins while making dua, remember it's better to stay in touch with Allah through small daily conversations no matter what. The longer you are not communicating with Allah S.W.T, the harder it'll be to go back to feeling the spiritual connection you once had with Him.
FINALLY- My last piece of advice is to remember that the key to consistency is to stay focused on the bigger picture- your purpose in life.
Don't worry about the WHAT so much. Remember your WHY. Don't lose sight of the WHY. Why are you doing any of this? Why are you working so hard to become a better Muslim? Because that's the sweet purpose of your life.
You agree that becoming a better Muslim is a life-time struggle and not a one-time achievement, right? So it's important to keep in mind that you cannot stay consistent for life in something you consider to be a burden, something you have to force yourself to do ALL THE TIME. You might as well enjoy it.
So what I think you need to understand is, you've probably spent a greater part of your life NOT in the very positive and patient state that you recently experienced, you've practiced living differently before.
And all that practice in the past of your entire life doesn't go away in a few weeks or months- it takes a LOT of time to get where you want to be and then stay there. Your hard-disk will have to erase the practice of all those past years first and then add this improved way of living.
That all seems very daunting, I know.
But then there's good news too- In the beginning, our emaan tends to fluctuate more but if you pull through the difficult beginning stage, stay consistent even when your emaan is weak… then down the road it actually becomes much more easier to stay on the right path and becomes much more difficult to sin because now the light of emaan is stronger inside of you.
So there you have it! 5 tips to help you stay consistent in your acts of Ibadah, even when your emaan gets weak.
Almas, that was my A to your Q.

While there's a lot to be said on this topic, the simplest changes that I've personally applied in my life to stay consistent in my effort to be a better Muslim, are to keep reminding myself of my life's purpose and stay in a close-knit pack of like-minded Muslims!
1. If you want to be consistent in your acts of Ibadah, which one of these strategies would make the biggest on your consistency?
2. And if you're already consistent in your acts of Ibadah, what's your number 1 secret?
Thousands of other growth-oriented Muslims come here to take inspiration and learn something that can help them become a better Muslim. A personal insight, a useful tip or just your inspiring words may be exactly what somebody else needs to stay consistent in becoming a better Muslim.
I pray Allah S.W.T gives all of us Istiqamah in our Ibadah and good deeds, Ameen.
I'll talk to you in the next episode of Q&A Friday, Insha'Allah!


Power up and build the ultimate version of your favorite DC legends in INJUSTICE 2 – winner of IGN's best fighting game of 2017.
One of the great challenges of Injustice 2 game authors is to create a broad narrative and narrative of the characters of the DJ world, along with the loyalty to the roots of this collection. In addition to these, the game writing team has tried to preserve the core of the story, narrating and storytelling to be something different than Superman's struggle against Batman. This is precisely the reason why Inseuts 2 Legendary Edition for the PS4 witnessed the presence of Breiniac, the main character of the game's main character.
The events of the second edition occur after the Gods Among Us version. Where Batman overthrows his regime by defeating Superman and tries to bring peace once more. On the other hand, Gorilla Cradle this opportunity and, by controlling the minds of other negative characters, has set up a community called The Society and plans to create its own government. Now Batman had to face Gorilla Gra and his team by collecting champions who helped Superman and the regime. But it's not all Batman's problems in Injustice 2. The main problem is where Brainjak comes to Earth to prove himself as superior power, so that he can perform his experiments and destroy the ground and any championship on his way.
Apart from these, the Injustice 2 Legendary Edition for the PS4 hosts new characters that each will advance their story and influence the overall story story. For example, Supergrill enters the pitch for the protector of his cousin, but unaware of all that has happened and it's likely that during the game there will be conflicts between Supergrille and Batman. So far, 29 characters have been introduced to download the game Injustice 2, which is also featured on the day the game is launched, and apparently the rest of the characters will be added over time to the game world in the form of different extension packs.
In addition to the single-player, online, and arcade games, Injustice 2 for the PS4 has a separate section called Multiverse, which is very similar to the Mortal Kombat X's Living Towers section. In this case, players can go to different worlds to play. Each part and the world have their own rules. There are also settings in the online game section that you can change and play according to your liking. For example, turn off the Gear System options to play all players in the same way with their initial appearance and stats.

Blackpool heritage
Conservation areas and listed buildings
Heritage at risk register
Historic England has published heritage at risk registers since 1998 for grade I and II* listed buildings in England. In recent years other assets such as conservation areas have also been added.
They use the registers to target their resources to those buildings most at risk of loss or long-term decline.
Historic England encourages local authorities to produce registers for grade II listed buildings.
We have carried out a survey on Blackpool's grade II listed buildings, and produced a heritage at risk register.
This will raise public awareness of the scale of the risk and help target resources towards these buildings.
It will also help with wider debate about how the future of vulnerable buildings should be managed to prevent long term decline or total loss.
We will be extending the survey will to locally listed buildings in the future.
Assessing buildings and structures at risk
Criteria for inclusion on the register
Buildings are assessed on the basis of condition and, where applicable, occupancy (or use).
The condition of buildings on the register ranges from very bad condition to poor, fair and (occasionally) good, and includes buildings that are vulnerable to becoming at risk because they are empty, under-used or face redundancy without a new use to secure their future.
Condition is graded as follows:
Means a building where there has been structural failure, or where there are clear signs of structural instability; where there has been loss of significant areas of the roof covering leading to major deterioration of the interior; or where there has been a major fire or other disaster affecting most of the building.
Means a building or structure with deteriorating masonry and/or a leaking roof and/or defective rainwater goods, usually accompanied by rot outbreaks within and general deterioration of most elements of the building fabric, including external joinery; or where there has been a fire or other disaster which has affected part of the building
Means a building which is structurally sound, but in need of minor repair or showing signs of a lack of general maintenance
Means structurally sound, weather-tight and with no significant repairs needed.
Or use is noted as vacant, part-occupied, occupied or unknown. For some structures occupancy is not applicable.
Buildings capable of beneficial use are at risk if they are in:
Very bad or poor condition
And vulnerable if they are in:
Fair (and occasionally good) condition and vacant, partially occupied or about to be vacated as a result of functional redundancy
Buildings or structures are removed from the register when they are fully repaired/consolidated and their future secured either through occupation and reuse, or through the adoption of appropriate management.
Priority for action
Once a building is identified as being at risk or vulnerable, priority for action is assessed on a scale of A to F. Priority for action is based on how fast a building is likely to deteriorate without intervention. A is the highest priority for a building which is deteriorating rapidly with no solution to secure its future, and F is the lowest priority where a repair scheme is in progress and an end use has been secured.
Priority for action is graded as follows:
A - Immediate risk of further rapid deterioration or loss of fabric; no solution agreed
B - Immediate risk of further rapid deterioration or loss of fabric; solution agreed but not yet implemented
C - Slow decay; no solution agreed
D - Slow decay; solution agreed but not yet implemented
E - Under repair or in fair to good repair, but no user identified; or under threat of vacancy with no obvious new user (applicable only to buildings capable of beneficial use)
F - Repair scheme in progress and (where applicable) end use or user identified; functionally redundant buildings with new use agreed but not yet implemented

quotes from romeo and juliet about love

"Under loves heavy burden … They stumble that run fast. Under love's heavy burden do I sink. Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; Being vex'd a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears.". Romeo and Juliet Quotes; Is anyone in the world who does not know that Romeo and Juliet is the most loved and famous love story ever? My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand. - King Lear: Act 1, Scene 1 Did my heart love till now? 2 Educator answers. So I have been extremely guarded ever since.", "It were a grief so brief to part with thee. Romeo andJuliet, act 2, sc.2, l.94. Write. But this doesn't matter over time. "A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life.", "O teach me how I should forget to think!", "Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. Throughout the play Mercutio makes fun of Romeo's fantasy of perfect romantic love, which invites the audience to question the seriousness and maturity of Romeo's feelings for Juliet. That is the key to long-lasting love. O, that I were a glove upon that hand That I might touch that cheek! I love you more than words can wield the matter, Dearer than eyesight, space and liberty.

Little Gridiron has a proud tradition of being a fantastic introduction to football and we hope you and your child take this opportunity to participate.
Little Gridiron was founded by a group of West Lafayette dads over 31 years ago. In the early days of the league, teams were added from Harrison, McCutcheon, Central Catholic, Benton Central, Delphi and Frontier grade schools. The league was originally comprised of boys in 4th through 6th grades. At that time the league established a set of rules that included age and weight restrictions to increase and promote the safety of its players. The first season or two ended with a Super Bowl and seeding was based on records and scores. The experience was terrible and was quickly abandoned by the LGI board of directors. Coaches stacked teams, ran up scores, and the emphasis and style of play was to win at all cost. All of this was contrary to a positive youth sports experience. The men who made up the board of directors came together and pounded out a new mission statement and rules to support it. That was a watershed moment for the league and set the tone and philosophy of LGI for over thirty years. The From that time, the goal is and always has always been to promote safety, fun, and participation and all decisions made by the board and its coaches have been made with those values in mind.
The league has evolved throughout the years, but not without spirited debate. Weight limits, for example, have been a point of discussion every year. Our upper weight limit has gradually increased; however, the remaining running back limits have remained relatively stable. Our record will show that, as a league, these limits have proven to be as safe as was originally intended. It should be noted, that from the day the league was founded, players who don't meet the league's weight requirements have always been welcome to participate in a team's practices; in a controlled environment, and in any capacity a team, its coaches and parents see fit, keeping safety in mind. Several players have done so for Central Catholic LGI and have gone on to have great seasons at higher levels; contributing to multiple conference and state championships. Another example of our league's growth evolution was the inclusion of 3rd grade players. In recent years, the league added 3rd graders and we now have two age divisions; a 3rd and 4th grade division and a 5th and 6th grade division. This split allowed younger players more time and opportunity to learn the game and become more confident in their abilities before having to compete with older players. The effect of this decision was immediately and positively realized as participation and the experience greatly increased at the 4th grade level.
One of the best decisions the league has made was to employ a set of high school certified officials for every game. The kids and coaches work extremely hard all week and deserve to have their games officiated by competent crews. Over the years, I have been lucky enough to observe our officials slow down the game when necessary and provide a moment of instruction to a player. Whether that is helping a confused player find his position on the field or to give them a brief lesson in good sportsmanship. Our officials provide a great experience for the players who often times may find officials intimidating or see them as the guys who just flag and penalize bad things. Although they are high school qualified, our crews are officiating at a grade school level and are invaluable mentors to our players. It is hard to beat witnessing an official give a player a complement like, "nice tackle!," "good block!" or "that was a great run!" and the impact that experience has on our the players in our league is fantastic.
Although the league is constantly being pulled in the direction of other youth sports experiences, it remains a league that is properly structured to give the maximum number of players a good, safe, instructional and fun experience at this age level. We firmly believe in the mission of the league and do everything we can to promote the values of that mission. Winning is secondary to us at this level. Our singular goal is to give kids a great football experience and instill all of the skills they will need as they graduate and move on to junior high football. We have been blessed with many volunteers and coaches over the years. Our coaching staff is led by Wade Seaburg, Phil Reynolds, Matt Fontaine, and Don Bush. These four have coached CC LGI for a combined 42+ years. That experience is complemented by several former Central Catholic players and dads (and grandfathers) who volunteer their time for the program. This dedication and desire to give back to our school has been key to the continued success of our program. All of our coaches are NYSCA and/or USA Football Heads Up certified. All coaches have received concussion awareness certification as directed by the league, the IHSAA and the State of Indiana. And our coaches at Central Catholic are also required to complete protocol training that is provided by the Diocese of Lafayette.
Our equipment at Central Catholic Little Gridiron's is second to none. Due to the generosity of many sponsors and gifts to our program, we have been able to maintain great equipment. Our helmets are purchased new and then reconditioned every three years and certified as safe. If they are not safe they are returned literally cut in half. We provide certified helmets, integrated pants for practices and games, one mouth guard, and a practice jersey. Everything must be returned at the end of the season except the mouth guard and the game jersey.
Central Catholic High School, the varsity football program and its coaches, the Athletic Association and the Athletic Department are very supportive of our youth program. They provide green space for us to practice right at Central Catholic, let us use the varsity field and the concessions facilities for our home games.
Finally, as much fun as playing football can be, we realize that it is a sport and do our best to keep that in perspective for our players, coaches and volunteers. Our mantra is Faith-Family-Football … in that order. Of course, faith is at the center of everything we do. We want to make sure our players realize that, in order to play football, they have to keep their faith right there at the center. How they carry themselves on and off the field is a reflection of their faith, their families, their school and their team. We take this very seriously. We also stress that family is next. Anything family related takes priority over football. Players don't lose positions and are not penalized playing time if they have to miss practices due to a family commitment. Players must also maintain their grades and be well-behaved at school. We would rather see a player miss a practice to study for a test or catch up on their studies, rather than play and struggle in school. Finally, if all of those things are in order, we can have some fun playing football.
If your child is interested in football, we hope that they give Central Catholic Little Gridiron a try. We provide a great experience for our players and have personally had the pleasure of watching many of them excel at higher levels. I would encourage everyone to watch the Orel Hershiser Game Changer video in the Resource portion of our website. He expresses EXACTLY what we believe in and practice in our program. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to speak to any of our coaches. We also invite you to observe our practices at any time. If you are interested in volunteering, we welcome you! There are many opportunities. If you would like to coach, work the chains at our home games, video tape, announce at home games, work concessions or sponsor a team, please see Coach Seaburg or Dejoie.
Thank you for your support of Little Gridiron Football and GO KNIGHTS!
