Capital City baseball looking forward to full season at home field – Jefferson City News Tribune

The Capital City Cavaliers are ready to host their full home schedule.

Capital Citys baseball field now has dugouts and a scoreboard, leaving the Cavaliers excited to play at home instead of having most of their home games being played at Vivion Field.

Its exciting, were looking forward to it, Capital City baseball coach Brett Skinner said. Dugouts are complete, weve got restrooms and a little team room, a scoreboard. The kids are excited, were excited to be able to play on campus and hopefully were going to have a successful season for our first one here.

Thus far, the Cavaliers have had to spend most of their practice time inside because of weather. But that hasnt dampened Skinners thoughts about the level the team is at heading into the season.

Weve had a lot of competition, weve got a big senior class, Skinner said. Weve got nine seniors, thats been awesome, the leadership has been good. When we have gotten outside, weve kind of got a lot to get done, but so far, Im pretty pleased with where were at.

Part of the excitement about the team comes from the amount of pitchers Skinner predicts will get innings early in the season. He said junior Brock Miles, sophomore Blake Holtmeyer, seniors Thomas Jennings and Hayden Carroll and junior Brian Pace will take the majority of the starts.

Coming out of the bullpen will be a combination of juniors Kaiden Menning and Zach Brown and senior Colin Flaherty, with freshmen Shea Clark and Colten Haskell working to earn innings throughout the season.

We have some other younger guys too, that if they start throwing really well could possibly see some innings by the end of it, Skinner said. But right now, those are the 10 guys.

After playing outfield last season, the Cavaliers are converting senior Justin Sullens to a catcher after losing last years starting catcher to transfer.

Hes done a good job with the transition so far, Skinner said And well continue to develop him there and were excited. Hes an athlete and he works hard and we think hell do a good job.

In the infield, seniors Jamisen Schwarzer, Ben Turner and Bryson Holtmeyer will patrol first base.

We expect those three to produce offensively for us as well, Skinner said. Thatll be a competition going on over there.

Miles will be the Cavaliers main shortstop, with junior Noah Nicklas manning second base, unless Miles is on the mound, in which case Nicklas will move to short and freshman Luke Skinner will take the time at second.

On the hot corner, Turner and Carroll will split time at third base.

Skinner said four outfielders have jumped out, and since all four also pitch, all will get meaningful time in games.

He said senior Caydin Engelbrecht, Blake Holtmeyer, Jennings and Brown will be the main players in the outfield.

Engelbrecht will also take a spot at or near the top of the lineup with Nicklas, while Miles and Sullen will likely take the regular at-bats in the Nos. 3 and 4 spots. Skinner said he is hopeful a combination of Turner, Schwarzer and Carroll can man the middle of the lineup with the remaining starters getting at-bats near the bottom of the order.

All guys who can swing it, Skinner said. If we can get rolling, our lineup one through nine, I feel very confident. We just got to get there.

While the lineup is full of returning starters, Skinner said the strength of the team will be the pitching and defense, with a focus on the 10 pitchers throwing strikes while not overpowering opposing hitters.

Weve got quite a few guys who can throw strikes and mix it up and our defense behind them, I think, is going to play very well, Skinner said. We should be in a lot of games. Offensively, were gonna have to play some small ball and manufacture some runs.

That pitching and small ball will get to work today when the Cavaliers take on Fatima for a rescheduled doubleheader starting at 4:30 p.m. in Westphalia. Capital City was originally scheduled to play a split doubleheader against Fatima and Boonville, but when it was rescheduled to today, Boonville decided not to make the trip.

The Cavaliers will open the home schedule at 5 p.m. Friday when they host Fort Zumwalt East.

The Cavaliers will also get to showcase their facilities during the Jays Baseball Classic on April 6-8. The Cavaliers will travel to Florida for a spring break tournament and will take part in the River City Festival on April 28-29 in Kansas.

Capital City will play in Class 5 District 5 this season alongside local rivals Helias and Jefferson City, as well as Pacific, Rolla, St. Francis Borgia, Union and Washington.

Its a pretty good schedule, Skinner said. Its not an easy one, thats for sure. Obviously, were in one of the toughest baseball conferences in the state. So it ought to be interesting, for sure.

Hay River highrise stars in new book and exhibition – Cabin Radio

Hay Rivers highrise forms the centrepiece of a new book to be published in May and an exhibition that opens this week at Torontos Pari Nadimi Gallery.

Anthropologist Dr Lindsay Bell once lived in the 17-story building that dominates the towns skyline. She say the lives of people living in the building form a way to examine resource extraction in the North.

Under Pressure: Diamond Mining and Everyday Life in Northern Canada tells the story of minings impact on Hay Rivers community through the eyes of highrise residents.

Part of it is thinking about parts of the history of the community that arent often told, Bell told Cabin Radio.

Part of what I wanted to work on which was really more for a southern audience was: what is the North like? Who lives there and what do they do? And to try to make that a little bit less sensationalist, a little more true to the daily experience, which of course includes difficulties, inequalities.

She collaborated on the project with Jesse Colin Jackson, whose photography and video work forms the exhibition Mackenzie Place that opens in the Toronto gallery on Thursday and runs until June 3.

Mackenzie Place presents a unique tower apartment, located far from its usual urban context, making it a symbol of both the reach and the edge of global capital and settler colonization, the gallerys description of the exhibition states.

Locals are quick to try to divert attention from the building, stating that the tower is not characteristic of Hay River. Yet the tower is omnipresent, both visually and in the narratives of residents and visitors alike; it is the hub of the Hub of the North.'

The highrise, built in 1975, had led a troubled existence in recent years.

Its balconies were ruled off-limits over structural integrity concerns, then a fire in 2019 forced all of the highrises residents to leave and, ultimately, led to the buildings sale.

Bell says those headline-grabbing moments arent the focus of her book.

So much of what the book is about is just like, You know what sucks? One of the elevators often doesnt work. The linoleum is peeling and you kind-of trip in the same place. Those are the kinds of everyday obstacles. And then the way that people decorate their apartments and are proud of them, she said.

Many of them have never had their own home, or have dealt with housing insecurity. Those are actually the important stories, people trying to overcome, people coming from other places, people in the highrise leaving domestic abuse.

All this other stuff is invisible because everyones like, Oh, the highrise? Dont talk about that. Look the other way. What is it like to have this thing that is so visually imposing that nobody wants to talk about it? And if they do, they really only have negative things to say.

Bell said she and Jackson hope to bring the Mackenzie Place show to Hay River and Yellowknife in March next year.

Below, read a transcript of our interview with Lindsay Bell.

This interview was recorded on March 22, 2023. The transcript has been lightly edited for clarity.

Ollie Williams: What drew you to Mackenzie Place?

I was a teacher in Hay River, at cole Borale, many moons ago. When I lived there as a teacher, I didnt know Mackenzie Place very well. People talked about it, there was this sort of mythology and rumours around it. Then I left and started a PhD, and I returned to Hay River with the idea of working on a project about everyday experiences of resource extraction. In part because theres no housing, I ended up in the highrise. Because those people were closest to me, I started interviewing them.

When I moved from a dissertation to a book, it became clear that the highrise could be this narrative anchor for telling this bigger story. And as I started doing that, I began collaborating with Jesse Jackson, who has this practice of taking these grand architectural photos of buildings that are usually not seen that way, even though theyre so common.

Tell me more about the book.

Under Pressure will be out in May. It centres around the highrise, the kinds of people that end up there and their stories and then the history of the building itself figures centrally in the book. I use the history of the building and the reconfiguration of the town as a way to talk about the history of extraction in the area and the reshaping of the landscape, in particular.

Why is this important anthropologically? What is this telling us?

Anthropology has a long history in the Arctic and some of it is troubling. One of the most famous works, sometimes credited as the first documentary, is Nanook of the North. Robert Flaherty wasnt an anthropologist but that film kind-of gets lumped in with us. I think its kind-of quintessential, this picturing of our Arctic that usually focuses on the High Arctic. Part of what I was interested in is the diversity of places like Yellowknife and Hay River, and what a kind of mini-globalization has meant for these northern hubs. Who are the kinds of people who end up there and how are their lives interwoven, also, with Indigenous lives and issues? How does that play out on the ground? I wanted a picture of the North, if you will, that was true to the complexity that Id seen from having been there.

Anthropology historically focused on the culturally so-called exotic, the most unique, but theres been a move toward a kind of post-colonial anthropology, which doesnt ask those questions, but asks about a process. The book is about the process of extraction over the last 100 years, not about a particular population. But people are very central to the story.

And clearly the building is pretty central to the story as well. The buildings recent history aint great, Lindsay. Its been on fire. The balconies couldnt be used. People got turfed out of it. The building right now, if it was used as a proxy for life in the Northwest Territories, would not be telling the happiest tale. So where does the book go with that?

But thats the problem, right? Those sensational moments are actually few and far between. Narratives about disorder which sort-of centre around the highrise I think are actually really wrong. So much of what the book is about is just like, You know what sucks? One of the elevators often doesnt work. The linoleum is peeling and you kind-of trip in the same place. Those are the kinds of everyday obstacles.

And then the way that people decorate their apartments and are proud of them. Many of them have never had their own home, or have dealt with housing insecurity. Those are actually the important stories, people trying to overcome, people coming from other places, people in the highrise leaving domestic abuse.

All this other stuff is invisible because everyones like, Oh, the highrise? Dont talk about that. Look the other way. What is it like to have this thing that is so visually imposing that nobody wants to talk about it? And if they do, they really only have negative things to say.

What was your own experience of the highrise?

It was varied. I got this basset hound given to me when I lived there. The basset hound just started all these conversations. People would go out of their way to help you with things, some people kept to themselves and were hard to access. There were people who were suspicious of me as being a social worker in a different life, middle class-looking.

And then there were hard things, too. A woman I was very close with essentially lost her apartment and shes a central figure in the book. I overheard fights, thinking, Should I call the RCMP? You know, Im not here to say its a paradise. When you interview people, most would say they want to leave. A really important part of the highrise identity is to say you dont want to be there, as a way to distance yourself from the ideas about it. But I think the other thing that really surprised me was that theres this idea that people are really transient. Thats really not the case. People are not transient out of the community. They might be transient out of the building, but theyre not necessarily transient out of the community, which surprised me, because, I would have assumed they are people who arent from here or they dont stay here. But it turns out thats not true.

What lessons are you hoping that people in the North take from your work?

The North doesnt need to learn anything from me. I have learned a ton from them, for which I am forever grateful. Part of it is thinking about parts of the history of the community that arent often told. Thinking about people who they dont know necessarily that well, being more curious about them.

Those kinds of things I would hope people take away, but part of what I wanted to work on which was really more for a southern audience was: what is the North like? Who lives there and what do they do? And to try to make that a little bit less sensationalist, a little more true to the daily experience, which of course includes difficulties, inequalities.
