Gotta be “Fonda” the Tigers
Wednesday, November 11, 2009 – Herb Smith – Democrat Argus
Vohland Fonda running for Caruthersville Tigers
Caruthersville, MO — Something had to give going into Monday night’s second-round playoff game between the Caruthersville Tigers (10-2) and Crystal City (7-5) at Hopke Field. The Hornets came in averaging 46 points per game in its last four contests, while the Tigers’ defense had allowed just six points and pitched three straight shutouts during that same span. The CHS defense bent, but did not break and allowed only a last second score in dominating the visitors 35-6 to advance to the round three Saturday at Brentwood.
Meanwhile, the Tigers got five touchdowns and 278 yards on 30 carries from star running back Vohland Fonda, who continued his impressive run in the playoffs. Fonda has now rushed for 550 yards and eight touchdowns in the two Caruthersville wins. Caruthersville coach Brad Gerling said he challenged the Tigers to be at their best on every play and they delivered. “That is what they stepped up and did. I really think they answered that call this week. They came out and battled on every single snap whether it was nothing to nothing at the beginning of the game or 35 to nothing at the end of the game.” (…)
Middleton hit speedy Peter Lloyd for gains of 15 and 35 yards and after two runs by Antonio Hopkins out of the “Wild Tiger” set netted 18 yards, Fonda took it in from 22 yards out at the 1:11 mark to make it 6-0. Jeffery Massengale, who was a perfect 5-for-5 on the night, added the PAT to make it 7-0. (…)
Middleton found Lloyd for a 29-yard hookup on third-and-12, with Lloyd making a circus catch to keep the drive alive. Three plays later, Fonda made it 14-0 with a nine-yard run with 2:41 left in the half. (…)
The Tigers got a first down and goal from inside the one yard line when Smith hauled in a 28-yard reception from Middleton, but were unable to punch it in on two running plays to Fonda before Middleton was picked off in the end zone. (…)
A late hit by Crystal City on Fonda set up the Tigers’ third score. Fonda then took it from midfield to the house with 5:33 left in the third quarter to make it 21-0. Fonda added a 12-yard TD run with 3:06 left in the third quarter to make it 28-0 and the Tigers invoked the mercy clock on an opponent for the second week in a row when Fonda broke a 94-yard touchdown run with under 30 seconds left in the third quarter. (…)
Vohland Fonda was selected for the 2009 Semo-Central All-Conference Team 1st Team.

Fourth time lucky?
Jane Fonda to marry again at 71… as her ex-husbands watch on
By Daily Mail Reporter – 06th September 2009
Jane Fonda, 71, and fiance Richard Perry will tie the knot in a Christmas ceremony attended by two of her three ex-husbands.
Showing no signs of slowing down, actress Jane Fonda is planning to marry for a fourth time at the age of 71 and has invited two of her ex-husbands. Jane will marry Hollywood music producer Richard Perry, 67, who she was introduced to by her actress niece Bridget Fonda a year ago. According to reports Fonda will invite her second and third husbands, former politician Tom Hayden and media mogul Ted Turner, to the wedding, at which Troy Garity, her actor son by Hayden, will give her away. Jane has told friends she is planning an ‘unconventional union’. ‘She made the announcement during a dinner party at the Malibu home of Barbra Streisand and James Brolin, and now it’s the biggest open secret in showbiz.,’ said a friend.
The Oscar winner’s first husband, French director Roger Vadim, who turned her into an international sex symbol in the film Barbarella, died in 2000. A source close to her revealed: ‘After her divorce from Ted, Jane vowed she’d never wed again. ‘But at this point in her life she has learned to trust her gut instincts and her gut tells her that Richard is a keeper. ‘They fit like a glove, clearly love each other, and share a lot of common pastimes, in- cluding a keen interest in politics.’ The source said: “The only sense in which she’s a ‘peacenik’ these days is that she wants peace to rule her entire family. So why not invite her two ex-husbands? She’s friends with both now and Jane wants them to share her happiness.

Raiders’ return never was assumed
Published: 6/12/2009 12:00 AM By Joshua Welge | Daily Herald StaffEast Peoria, IL – There was Julie Fonda on Thursday morning, driving the Glenbard South team bus on a familiar path to East Peoria.
Glenbard South's Danielle Chitkowski (left) gets some instructions from coach Julie Fonda in the bottom of the 7th inning during the Class 3A semifinal against Chatham at East Peoria Thursday.
Boy, has it been an interesting ride back.
Glenbard South, the lone team returning to the state softball tournament in either Class 3A or 4A, will play Chatham Glenwood today in a noon 3A semifinal at EastsideCentre.
The Raiders (24-12) lost five starters, including ace pitcher and 2008 Daily Herald All-Area captain Jill Trzaska, off last year’s third-place team. They started the season 1-8 but have been a different team since a 5-4 extra-inning win over Naperville Central on April 11.
Keying the Raiders’ resurgence are sophomore shortstop Jenny Wittenberg, senior center fielder Lauren Podgorski and freshman second baseman Brianna Meath. Sophomore pitcher Jess Wilkes has shut out two of the Raiders’ last three playoff opponents.
“That’s the goal, is to be playing your best at state tournament time,” Fonda said. “If you can play your best at the end, you have a chance of going somewhere.”
In an eerie parallel Chatham Glenwood (27-8) has not lost since an 8-0 defeat to Edwardsville, which will play Naperville Central today, on May 8. In supersectional Chatham Glenwood upset Mattoon, which beat Glenbard South in last year’s Class 3A semifinal and was ranked No. 1 in the latest Illinois Softball Coaches Association poll.
Leading the attack for Chatham Glenwood is senior catcher Kaitlyn England, hitting .416 with 17 extra-base hits and 39 RBI.
Fonda’s knowledge of her opponent is limited – but the same went for the Raiders’ supersectional opponent, Trinity.
“We’ll show up and play our game,” she said. “That’s the best we can do. We’ve been good at adjusting as the games go along.”
In the first semifinal Burlington Central (25-5) will play Oak Forest (29-4), which lost to Glenbard South in supersectionals last year.
Fonda is hopeful her group can draw on the experience of last year, both the highs and lows. Glenbard South lost a 5-0 lead in a semifinal loss to Mattoon, then rallied to beat Marengo in eight innings in a thrilling third-place game.
“That gives us an advantage,” Fonda said. “They know what the field looks like down here, and they know what it feels like to win and lose down here. I feel like that experience is definitely going to help us.”
