Rockland star João Faria’s record-breaking season brought academy offers, but he stuck with the community that welcomed him

As the high school season neared, Faria talked with his mom, Eleonice Paula, and coach Dan Kimball, who suggested he take the offer. There would be no hard feelings.

But the 17-year-old felt indebted to the Rockland community, which welcomed him six years ago when he and his mother moved from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Rockland had become home and there was unfinished business on the pitch.

Faria turned down the opportunity and return to the Bulldogs for his junior season. He wasn’t ready to leave the community that made his transition to the country smooth and full of hope.

“I felt a connection with my teammates and my coach,” said Faria. “This is a once in a lifetime thing and I wanted to stay. Rockland is my family.”

It was no surprise to Kimball that MLS NEXT came calling after Faria posted 29 goals last fall as a sophomore, leading Rockland to an 18-2-1 finish and the Division 4 state semifinals.

The striker was named a South Shore League All-Star and an Eastern Mass All-Star. In the All-Star game coached by Kimball, Faria recorded a hat trick in a showcase filled with the state’s best.

“It raised a lot of eyebrows,” said Kimball. “I told him going to academy may be the best thing for your progression. But he told me there’s something about this program and something about this team and I need to come back. He felt he had an obligation to this program and this town.”

In June, Faria was voted a team captain. Rockland graduated 14 players so Faria’s role as an upperclassmen is magnified this season as he helps usher in a new crop of players.

Kimball said he was blown away by Faria’s leadership in the first game of the season last Wednesday. The Bulldogs scored a 4-0 win over Holbrook and freshman Gabe De Souza netted a hat trick. Faria didn’t score that day, but he couldn’t have been happier for his new teammate.

“There was nothing but smiles from João, he was like a proud older brother,” said Kimball.

Added De Souza, “He was so proud of me and the team and I thought that was so cool. It made me feel glad he was our captain.”

Faria wasted no time opening his goal tally for the 2022 season, netting a career-high five goals a day later in Thursday’s 8-3 win over Cardinal Spellman.

His 29 goals last fall were one short of the single-season program record set by Kimball’s younger brother, Joe, in 2016.

“We came so close a state title last year and João wants to bring that back,” said Kimball. “But he also told me he’s breaking my brothers scoring record this year. We joked about that but he’s fully capable.”

At 6-foot-2, Faria has a perfect combination of quickness, speed, and size, but it’s his powerful left foot that makes him one of the state’s top scorers. Some players simply have a knack for finding the back of the net, and Faria admitted he’s a natural born scorer, a byproduct of watching his father play in Brazil as a kid.

“I think it’s just natural from watching my dad play,” said Faria. “He was a striker too. I think I’m really fast. I can create for others or score for myself because of my shot.”

The transition from Brazil to Rockland wasn’t easy. Faria said he struggled with the language and making friends. But soccer was always an outlet, and once he got to high school, a bond formed between him, Kimball, and the Rockland program that made him believe soccer could be a part of his future.

“I was not comfortable at the beginning but coach made me feel at home,” said Faria.

Faria hopes to play in college in the United States or return to Brazil for a professional career. Kimball believes staying at Rockland will not impact those dreams.

“You don’t have to go to a prep school or academy to reach college or professional level,” said Kimball. “I don’t think this stymies him at all. It shows a lot about his character that he wants to stay in his home town and play with his friends.”

▪ Arlington reached the Round of 16 in last season’s Division 1 tournament, which served as the tip of the iceberg for the Spy Ponders. Finishing the regular season undefeated, the Spy Ponders’ lone loss occurred at the hands of the eventual state champion, Brookline, in a 1-0 result.

“I think the fact that we got to the round of 16 said a lot about our program to our players,” said coach Lance Yodzio, embarking on his 23rd year at the helm. “We want to duplicate that. This is where we want to be. Our focus and goal is it’s all about the process.”

With four returning starters inheriting leadership roles, role players from last season’s team step into starting roles. A three-year starter, senior Barnabas Kiss anchors the defense at center back as a Middlesex League All-Star. Senior Aidan Sheehan, the team’s leading goal scorer last season and a fellow league All-Star, kickstarts the attack. Senior Gus Kathan solidifies the midfield in a holding role.

The Spy Ponders came out of the gate flying, downing Middlesex League opponent Watertown, 3-0, behind two goals from Sheehan. A strong nucleus of frontline players present the Spy Ponders as a formidable foe yet again, not satisfied with past successes.

“The players ask themselves what they can do today to make themselves a better player, their teammates a better player, and make themselves a better person through the game of soccer,” said Yodzio.

I absolutely love my school! CCA is such a great environment to be in and whenever someone needs to talk to someone about something, there are always people available to talk to. I love knowing that my teachers love and support me; they pray for us constantly and are so kind and loving and very patient! CCA is a school I want to send my kids to one day. I thank the Lord for my school and everyone in it! Also, the education we are given is wonderful. The teachers take time to help us if we are struggling with work, and they are so forgiving!

I’ve had my children at CCA for quite a few years. I love the education they receive, the solid Bible teaching and that they are loved, cared about and prayed for each and every day. The love I see from both the students and the staff for one another is so refreshing and comforting. They are being taught academically with a strong Bible-based foundation. I wouldn’t have my kids anywhere else.

I attended CCA for eight years and was very pleased with the Christian education I received. The teachers are caring, knowledgeable, and adequately prepared me for college. The high school Bible classes are taught by pastors of the church, Calvary Chapel, and helped me to develop a Biblical worldview. I would recommend CCA to any family looking for a school with sound Christian doctrine and a competitive education.

When we moved to Massachusetts, our desire was to find a Christian school that would embrace our children as their own. We found that at CCA. The teachers walk alongside your family with the common goal of raising up well-educated children who love God and love people. I am amazed at the quality of academics and the caliber of the teachers. My children enjoy the variety of sports available for all students at every grade level.

Rockland is a bilingual community located approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of downtown Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, part of the City of Clarence-Rockland. Rockland has a population of 11,099. ^[1] Most of the French-speaking community of Eastern Ontario lives here, as well as the cities to the east and the suburbs of Ottawa. Orleans to the west.

In 1868, young entrepreneur William Cameron Edwards decided to establish a sawmill at McCall’s Point. Opening links to the Great Highway Then, in 1888, the transportation of timber and goods was allowed. Edwards, who held the lumber rights in the area and was also the first postmaster, named the place because of the rocky landscape. The post office dates from 1869year. ^[2]

    In 1889 the mission carried out by Rev. Caron of Clarence Creek became a parish. The first priest of the new parish was Simeon Houdon, a native of Quebec. The first school opened in 1875 and the first high school opened in 1905.

    The construction of a second railroad in 1908 connecting Ottawa and Hawkesbury greatly contributed to population growth. In fact, for 75 cents (return), people could go to Ottawa on business and return the same day. The sawmill owned by W. C. Edwards closed at 7 p.m.26 as a result of the economic upheaval that followed the First World War. Most of the population moved to Quebec to find work in sawmills in Hull and Gatineau. The economic recovery began in 1939 with the outbreak of World War II, and the return of soldiers after the war led to an increase in the population. Housing construction grew rapidly, creating a need for the expansion of water, electricity and sewerage introduced in 1964.

    During the 1970s, Rockland was a small community of about 3,500 people. Since the beginning of the new millennium, there has been a rapid growth in housing construction. Until 2000, the number of new homes built was less than 60 or 70 annually, but between 2000 and 2010, the total number of new homes built was 2,185. ^[3]

    Commercial expansion

    Rockland is a fast growing community that is constantly adding new retailers and businesses to serve the community.

    In addition to many local restaurants, Rockland has the River Rock Inn, a hotel and a convention center.

    Leisure

    Rockland is home to the newly built 45,000 square feet (4200 m ² ) Recreation Center. The center houses the Rockland Library, the largest YMCA in the Ottawa area (with an indoor pool, state-of-the-art gym, numerous programs for kids/youth/families/seniorities) and a theater.

    On July 8, 2009, the governments of Canada and Ontario jointly announced funding for the construction of a new sports complex and training center in Rockland. The center will help meet the sports and recreation needs of Clarence Rockland and Eastern Ontario by providing two NHL-sized ice rinks, two football fields, a baseball field and a running track, and enhancing recreational tourism in the region. The mixed-use complex will also enable the creation of an advanced hockey program for high school hockey players and will be used as a national training center for Hockey Canada. ^[3]

    The semi-private Outaouais Golf Club has courses that are considered some of the most popular in the National Capital Region. Professionals from the Canadian Professional Golfers Association (CPGA) provide lessons on site and practice sessions are also available to all golfers.

  IDF veterans teach self-defense to Monsey residents after a machete attack on Jews celebrating Hanukkah – Lechaim

  IDF veterans teach self-defense to Monsey residents after a machete attack on Jews celebrating Hanukkah

  According to media reports, residents of Monsey are taking self-defense lessons from battle-hardened Israeli soldiers following the recent machete attack on Jews celebrating Hanukkah and other anti-Semitic incidents.

  On January 8, congregants gathered at a synagogue in Rockland County, where Israeli veterans who run the Herev Gidon Training Academy in Pennsylvania taught them how to use a variety of firearms. Jonathan Stern, director of the academy, told The Post that he wants people to openly carry guns in the synagogue, stressing: “As Jews, you have to start defending yourself because others aren’t going to do it for you.” He said that after the Dec. 28 machete attack on Hanukkah attendees, there was “unprecedented demand” for the “Herev Gidon” course, which means “Gideon’s sword” in Hebrew. “We can’t be sheep in the slaughter,” he told some 150 Jews, men and women, many of whom came from Brooklyn and other parts of New York. About a dozen participants filled out applications for a pistol or rifle after the training.

  When asked about the potential danger posed by people who take up arms, Stern told lohud.com: “It’s actually the other way around. As long as these people are properly trained in the use of firearms (either by us or by other instructors) and comply with all relevant laws, this will undoubtedly make the community much safer. ” “When Jews are killed in the streets and in our synagogues, we can no longer afford to be helpless victims!” read a flyer urging people to sign up for “Israeli counter-terrorism training with firearms.”

  Man accused of assault with machete, Grafton Thomas, 37, was charged with six counts of attempted murder, as well as assault and hate-motivated burglary.

  Monsey resident Rivka Feiner said she already felt the change in her area after the attack. Now there is a security guard outside her child’s school and she has to show ID before picking it up. “We are the largest (percentage-wise) Jewish community of any district in the entire country. This is a terrible wake up call. People are not going to sit back and do nothing,” she told lohud.com. “As Orthodox Jews, we believe that prayers protect us, and helping people is another form of protection, but we do not hide our heads in the sand.”

  Which leaders deserve admiration? Those who protect the people. What kind of people deserve respect? Those who show respect to others. The one who hates others will be hated, the one who looks down on others will also be looked down on, the one who condemns others will be condemned. This is one of the basic principles of Judaism: mida keneged mida. Great is the man who helps others become great. Moshe taught the Jewish people how to become great.

  The Nazi Correspondent The New York Times

  Throughout the 1930s, Enderis managed to manipulate the news for The Times by hushing up the persecution of Jews and emphasizing Germany’s peaceful goals. He fawned over Nazi officials, wrote articles that conveyed only the Nazi point of view, reprimanded The Times correspondents if they seemed to go too far in their criticism, and dissected the news to show off a genocidal regime intent on establish a “thousand-year Reich”.
