paraded down Rio de Janeiro's iconic Copacabana Beach to raise their voices as cases of religious intolerance were reported to be on the rise the demonstrators stemmed from more than a dozen faiths that have come under attack from Christian groups Newly chosen Human Rights Minister Macaé Evaristo joined the march “The great challenge today in our country is to reduce inequality,” Evaristo told Agencia Brasil it is very important to be present in this march because the people here are also struggling for many things like decent work and a life free from hunger,” she added While most neo-Pentecostal religions growing exponentially in the State of Rio de Janeiro are said to be peaceful a surge of intolerance for traditional African-influenced religions has also been detected among many evangelical Christianity in the region with attacks ranging from verbal abuse and discrimination to destruction of temples and forced expulsion from neighborhoods “Everything that comes from Black people everything that comes from people of African origin is devalued; if we are not firm in our faith we will lose strength,” said Vania Vieira a practitioner of the Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé quoted by The Associated Press “This walk is to show that we are standing an increase of 140% was recorded in the number of religious intolerance complaints nationwide despite the Penal Code providing for up to five years in jail for these trespassers It wasn’t long after entering this world  in October of 1995 that Macae Skaggs had a football in his hand and a Farmington jersey on his back Farmers football has been synonymous with the Skaggs family for 30 years was a first-team all-conference defensive end and wide receiver at Farmington He and current Farmers coach Casey Martin were sophomores on the school’s last regular-season undefeated team in 1983 and the elder Skaggs continues to be involved with the program as a member of the chain gang the latest in a long line — that also extends from brothers uncles and cousins —is carving quite a name for himself in Farmers lore Macae Skaggs enters his third year as a starter coming off a season in which he was a Journal Star all-area selection at linebacker the WHOI-TV Drive Chevy small-school player of the year and 1,065 yard rusher at fullback for a Farmington team that went 7-3 and earned a home game in the 3A state playoffs 234 pounds — credits his father with much of his success “He’s had a big influence on me,” Skaggs said of his father The son was impressed with what he saw on film “He could catch it pretty good,” Skaggs said So it comes as no surprise that eight-year farmer coach Martin calls Skaggs a throw-back player hard-nosed kid that plays the game the way it’s supposed to be played,” Martin said “He goes out and you know every single down he’s going give you everything he has The thing college coaches are saying to me as he’s gone to all these workouts is how coachable he is.” And college coaches have been talking about him Skaggs has received some interest from the University of Illinois but more from the other directional Division I programs in state “If I had to say what a perfect football player would be for somebody to coach “He does a good job of picking the little things out on the offense You have to have some instincts to play linebacker but it’s also about that ability to see the little things the offense does that give you an edge over them.” The younger Skaggs deflects the praise when it comes to his punishing rushing game Skaggs hopes to remain a force in the middle The hard-hitter made a team-high 126 total tackles a number that included 29 against unbeaten league champ Elmwood/Brifield “I couldn’t have done anything last year without the linemen blocking for me,” Skaggs said A team-oriented mindset has the younger Skaggs hoping the Farmers who return much of the talent from last year’s squad can make a habit out of making the playoffs — and energize the Farmington faithful “That’s what we think about as a team,” Skaggs said of the postseason “Last year was our first year to the playoffs and a home game We thought that was cool to play for all the older generation players I want to go back to the playoffs and hopefully win this year.” Coach: Casey Martin (34-33 in seven seasons) The Farmers return nine starters on defense and eight on offense from a team that earned a first-round playoff game All-area DB and two-year starting QB Tanner Evans will be replaced by versatile Sr Experienced line is anchored by four-year starter and all-area selection C/DL Brenden Jostes led by all-area LB/FB Macae Skaggs (1,065 yards DB/RB Jake Jepson and speedy DB/RB Max Balagna Alec Higgs and Ray Berkley bookend the line at DE/LBs Jepson a four-year starter as DB and joined by other two-way starter Balagna Joey Boggs (DL) returns after broken leg midway through season Expectations sky high with returning talent that has played together for three to four years Welker brings confidence and talent that helped him excel last year despite playing much of it with a broken hand Skaggs is earning D-I attention and there is plenty of speed in the backfield Martin is very high on Jepson being a force as a veteran two-way standout and believes team will go as far as health and controlling the line will take them The Farmers last won the Prairieland Conference in 1991 with a perfect 5-0 record (8-2 overall) before moving to the Olympic Conference the next season Doesn’t get much bigger than the two-time defending unbeaten champs against a team looking to get back on top when Jepson made the game winning tackle on a last-second two-point conversion attempt This group of seniors is a very special bunch of young men They work hard and play the game the way it is meant to be played I thoroughly enjoy coaching them.”—Farmington coach Casey Martin A Aviation Leader is again with several job openings for its air taxi
