‘A Little Bit of Hope’
Correct Diagnosis Helps
Two Children Walk Again
Oct. 11
=== <begin quote> ===
— As soon as he tried to walk, Ellen and Mark Colegrove knew there was something wrong with their son Harrison. "He didn't have a normal gait," Ellen Colegrove said. At age 4, her son was limping along. His older sister, Taylor, was fine — but Harrison already had a little sister, Gracie, just two years younger. She, too, seemed perfectly normal at first — until she began to try to walk. Doctor after doctor saw the Colegroves, but none had a name for the disease that day by day was robbing their children of their mobility, confining them to wheelchairs and taking away their bodies, while their minds struggled with the loss.
<extraneous deleted>
It was five years of test after test, until the family visited New Hampshire's Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, and met Dr. James Filiano and his team.
"When I examined the children, there were two features that stuck out," Filiano recalled. "One was the very tiny, shimmering tremor, and the second was the abnormal tongue movements, particularly in Gracie."
Filiano believed the children had something called dopa-responsive dystonia — a rare disease that kept their brains from producing a chemical called dopamine.
"Patients with dopa-responsive dystonia will appear to have Parkinsonism or cerebral palsy, or something like that or sometimes other movements," Filiano said. "And they're quite disabled even though their brain is fine."
The good news was that there was a possibility that they could walk again.
"The notion of them walking again — the thought of it — it was so far removed from what I thought was even possible that I didn't even — I just really didn't entertain it," Mark Colegrove said.
Boy in Wheelchair Walks
No complicated surgeries were needed. The children needed just a few of the right pills to restore the body's dopamine. In many cases, medication can restore full physical functionality to people suffering from dopa-responsive dystonia.
Harrison, right, and Gracie can now do everything other kids do with the help of a few little pills. (ABCNEWS.com)
Harrison was treated first — and within a few weeks, it seemed like a miracle. A boy in his wheelchair got up and walked, though he did so on limbs so fragile that bearing his weight actually broke his foot.
"I could actually do stuff that I had never done before — it was amazing, it was crazy," Harrison recalled.
"Then in the next few months, I took a few steps," he said, eyes tearing. "It was just so cool. I remember that, I remember."
Legs that could not walk now can kick — and jump. Harrison, now 11, is a purple belt in karate.
Gracie is taking gymnastic classes.
"I can do cartwheels and roundoffs and handstands and back walkovers," Gracie said.
"It's an interesting trip back to normalcy because every so often we're like, hey — we're a normal family!" Ellen Colegrove said. "Sometimes I don't even notice, but you don't realize how far we drifted away."
The two kids who used to need three people to help them in their riding classes now trot off on their own.
Harrison, who is wise beyond his 11 years, has advice for others like him.
"I'd like to say there is hope out there for everyone — everyone — even the sickest person in the world," he said. "There's a little bit of hope"
=== <end quote> ===
I hope that every time
someone thinks things are hopeless, they can remember these two children. I
hope I remember it. I hope you do to. Anything is possible. And, the problem is
always in our own thinking.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

Orchestra All Movie Guide Entry
Hugo Montenegro was a composer, arranger, and conductor, who is primarily known for his movie work in the '60s, as well as his adaptations of film scores like The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Montenegro began his musical career in the U.S. Navy, where he arranged scores for various military bands. After he left the Navy, he completed school at Manhattan College, then he began a professional music career. Initially, Montenegro was the staff manager to Andre Kostelanetz at Columbia Records in New York, which eventually led to a job as a conductor/arranger for several of the label's artists, most notably Harry Belafonte. By the mid-'50s, Montenegro was making his own albums of easy listening orchestral music.
Montenegro moved to California in the mid-'60s and began to write film scores, starting with Otto Preminger's Hurry Sundown in 1967. That same year, he recorded a version of the theme to The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, which was written by Ennio Morricone. Featuring an arrangement that relied on a chorus, electric instruments, and special effects, the single was a major hit, reaching number one in the U.K. and number two in the U.S.; internationally, it sold over a million copies. An album titled Music from "A Fistful of Dollars" & "For A Few Dollars More" & "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" appeared shortly after the single's release, and it reached the Top Ten in the spring 1968. Later in the year, Montenegro released a single of the theme from Hang 'Em High, which was a lesser hit, as was the album of the same name.
Montenegro began to branch out after the Hang 'Em High album, recording a diverse array of albums, ranging from show tunes to electronic experiments. Throughout the late '60s and '70s, he continued to score films, including Lady in Cement, The Undefeated, The Wrecking Crew, Tomorrow, and The Ambushers, among many others. He continued composing and recording until his death in 1981. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine

HEADLINE: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Transaction Network Services named Entrepreneur of the Year by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
DATELINE: TROY, N.Y.
John J. McDonnell Jr. '61, founder, chairman, and CEO of Transaction Network Services (TNS) in Reston, Va., was named the 2002 William F. Glaser '53 Rensselaer Entrepreneur of the Year by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. McDonnell's company is one of the world's leading providers of fast, reliable data communications services for transaction-oriented applications.
McDonnell was honored by the Paul J. '69 and Kathleen M. Severino Center for Technological Entrepreneurship at Rensselaer's Lally School of Management and Technology at a breakfast meeting this morning in the Heffner Alumni House. He delivered a keynote address to Rensselaer students, faculty, staff, and the community during the event. "Jack McDonnell is a superb exemplar of the entrepreneurial spirit," said Rensselaer President Shirley Ann Jackson. "We note with pride that his achievements model well that hallmark of a Rensselaer education: the application of science to the common purposes of life."
McDonnell founded TNS in 1990, and quickly developed the company's main service of providing high-speed, secure electronic fund transfer for credit card transactions. Today, TNS' secure and efficient proprietary network connects the credit card-swiping machines of 300,000 merchants to the corporations that verify credit accounts. It commands 70 percent of the U.S. market in its sector, and continues to grow its presence overseas. In addition to facilitating credit and debit card transactions, it transports transactions for health care and authorization services, telephone calling card authorizations, inventory control, and automated financial exchange.
After spending the decade building TNS and its network, McDonnell sold it to Internet service provider PSINet in 1999, and purchased it back again in 2001. His success with TNS and in the industry has been the subject of numerous articles in various media outlets, among them the Washington Post, Forbes.com, and Washington Business Forward magazine.
Immediately prior to launching TNS, McDonnell was president and CEO of Digital Radio Network Inc., an access bypass carrier for point-of-sale transactions. He also served as group vice president for the Information Technologies and Telecommunications Group of the Electronic Industries Association, and helped found the Electronic Transfer Association, on whose board he currently serves. He was the recipient of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP's High Tech Entrepreneur Award and sits on the boards CyberSource, Ecutel, and InteliData.
McDonnell graduated from Manhattan College with a bachelor's of science degree in electrical engineering, and earned his master's degree in electrical engineering from Rensselaer in 1961. For his master's project at Rensselaer, he built a mechanical computer that solved Boolean equations.
Established in 1990 by 1953 Rensselaer graduate William F. Glaser, the Entrepreneur of the Year Award recognizes successful entrepreneurs and role models. The program also brings the world of entrepreneurship into Rensselaer classrooms so honorees can share wisdom, experience, and encouragement with students. Past winners include Paul Severino '69, founder and chairman of Bay Networks; William Mow '59, founder of Bugle Boy Industries; and Nancy Mueller, founder of Nancy's Specialty Foods.

Byrne continues as village justice in uncontested race
Village Justice Matthew J. Byrne was re-elected yesterday in an uncontested race.
Byrne, a 36-year-old lawyer who ran on the Republican line, has been the village's justice since 1994. Suffern's justice court handles traffic matters, landlord-tenant cases, building and zoning violations and small-claim civil cases.
It also handles criminal trials in misdemeanor and violation cases, juvenile-offender cases involving youths aged 16 to 18, and the early stages of some adult felony cases.
Byrne said during the campaign that he was especially concerned with finding effective sentencing options that will deter juvenile offenders from committing future crimes.
Suffern's justice court has grown busier in recent years as the village's population has increased.
Because of the increased volume of cases, the court now holds five regularly scheduled sessions a month instead of four, with one session set aside for building and zoning cases.
Besides serving as village justice, Byrne is a partner in the law firm of Balsamo, Byrne and Cipriani in Suffern, and an adjunct law professor at Manhattan College and Dominican College.
Byrne received an undergraduate degree from Manhattan College and his law degree from Pace University Law School.
The village justice's term of office is four years. The annual salary for the part-time post is $22,968.

HEADLINE: It's 30 years and counting for an eventful
Gannett career
BYLINE: Bob Baird, Staff
It was just minutes after 6 a.m. on the day before President Richard Nixon won re-election in 1972 and a politician from Middletown named Benjamin Gilman got elected to Congress.
I was alone in a downtown White Plains newsroom, sitting at the huge, horseshoe-shaped copy desk in the County Bureau of what was then known as Westchester Rockland Newspapers.
T. Eugene Duffy, the general manager of the White Plains paper, The Reporter Dispatch, appeared from around a corner and introduced me to Paul Miller.
That day, 30 years ago today, was my first day working for the Gannett Co. and I was too wet behind the ears to know Miller was the chairman of the board. The bureau chief, Doug Wildey, broke that news to me minutes later, observing, "I hope you didn't say anything stupid."
I guess I didn't embarrass myself. Duffy, who had earned his way through Notre Dame as a wing walker in Midwest air shows, took a liking to me, as did Walter Anderson, who was County Bureau editor and moved on years later to become editor and publisher of Parade magazine. He and Duffy had hired me, and a few months later they rescued me from the midnight shift, promoting me to run a local news bureau.
I had a few other roles in Westchester before coming to Rockland and The Journal News in January 1976 for three-year stints as news editor, managing editor and executive editor. During that time, we had an incredible run of news, both good and bad, from the return of U.S. hostages from Iran at West Point to the deadly Brinks robbery in Nanuet and Nyack.
We at The Journal News were finalists for the Pulitzer Prize in 1980 and were honored twice with the Associated Press Managing Editors Association national award for public service. No other newspaper, of any size, had ever accomplished that.
I say "we" because the simple truth is that a newspaper is a team, and this team was loaded with talent. At least six members of our staff during that era have become top editors or publishers at other Gannett papers. Others moved on to distinguish themselves elsewhere. I take pride in knowing I had something to do with their development.
When I came to Gannett, I already had worked for three years at a group of weekly newspapers after Manhattan College, where I was editor of The Quadrangle, one of two competing student newspapers, in 1968.
I had been a physical education major and planned to teach and coach, but during that year marked by war, assassinations and political and social turmoil, I got hooked on news, an addiction I've never been able to shake.
Of course, I had a bit of a genetic predisposition. My great-grandfather, William J. Baird, returned from the Civil War in 1865 to buy his hometown paper in southern Indiana. He was publisher of The Reveille Enterprise, which still exists, until 1902. By then, his four sons had scattered to different careers in different parts of the country. My grandfather, also William J., came to New York, working at The World, owned by Joseph Pulitzer. My father dodged the journalism gene, but encouraged my interest when I started working on my high school newspaper in the Bronx.
Much has changed over the 30 years I've worked here. My family moved to Suffern. Rockland, The Journal News and the Gannett Co. all grew.
When I started my career here, stories were written on manual typewriters, edited in pencil and cast in hot lead type. Before a decade had passed, we had satellite dishes outside the building to help collect and distribute the news. There was all-news radio, but I can remember the day City Editor Brian Gallagher (now executive editor of USA Today) and I dreamed out loud of linking cable television systems with a news network - long before CNN.
After editing others for more than 25 years, including almost 15 back in Westchester, I returned to the Rockland newsroom and writing in 1999. I never thought I'd be involved in covering a horror as great as the World Trade Center, but then again, I never expected to be here this long. I've met the rich and famous, the downtrodden and infamous over those three decades. I like to think I've done some good and I know I've made some mistakes.
But, God and Gannett willing, I'll hang around a while longer.

Injury boost but Phoenix faces spell on sidelines
WESTFIELD Sharks today confirmed that star forward Justin Phoenix has not broken his ankle.
The 6ft 8in American has been a key member of Chris Finch's squad since arriving in Sheffield last season.
Although fans will be relieved to learn the news following Saturday's clash with Birmingham, the influential player has suffered an ankle sprain that has the potential to become a long-term injury.
"The news is that it's not broken," said Finch. "It's a sprain, it's day to day at the moment but it looks to be long-term. We will see how it is at the weekend."
But Finch is not considering replacing the New-Jersey-born 29-year-old as he recovers.
He confirmed: "We are not looking to draft anyone else in."
Phoenix's talent was obvious as he captained the Manhattan College team and received their Most Valuable Player award in the 1995-96 season.
He made his British Basketball League debut for Leicester the following season against Manchester.
The fans' favorite joined the Sharks in 2001 and has become one of Finch's most potent weapons, averaging 16 points per game in the season so far. His career has given him a wealth of experience following spells at Manchester, Birmingham Bullets and in Korea.
Meanwhile, the shortlist for the BBL Player and Coach of the Month awards have been decided. All eight individuals have been chosen because of their statistical performances during of October.
Sheffield have representatives in both categories with Jerry Williams and Chris Finch. Fans get to decide who is most worthy of an award by voting online via the BBL website at www.bbl.org.uk.

HEADLINE: Columbia has season-high goal output vs. Jaspers
BYLINE: By Jon Kelly, Columbia Daily Spectator
SOURCE: Columbia U.
DATELINE: New York
It was a tale of two cities for the Columbia women's soccer team last weekend, and to no one's surprise, the industrial decay of New Haven, Conn., proved less fortuitous than bustling upper Manhattan.
The Lions began their weekend by falling 2-1 at Yale on Saturday but redeemed themselves two days later at home in a 5-0 drubbing of Manhattan College.
The Lions, now 5-9-2 (0-4-2 Ivy), will finish out their season in Cambridge in hopes of securing their only Ivy win of the season against a Harvard team that narrowly defeated them 2-1 last year.
Saturday's contest in New Haven took on too familiar a form for the Lions. The Bulldogs (11-3-2, 3-2-1 Ivy) jumped ahead to a 2-0 lead in the match's first 12 minutes. Ali Cobbett opened the scoring at 5:13 off an assist from Laurel Karnes, and the sting was echoed little more than six minutes later when Chandra King deposited Courtney Diamond's feed at 11:35. The Bulldogs' first-half dominance belied the Lions' offensive assertiveness. While Yale outshot Columbia 6-2, the Lions attempted four corner kicks and prevented the Elis from taking any of their own.
As they have all season, the Lions turned up the gas in the second half but scored too little and too late, despite multiple scoring chances in the game's final minutes.
"We had a pretty good chance against Yale," said first-year forward/midfielder Giovanna Kiani. "We really could have tied the match. We just had a few missed opportunities, and there were a lot of shots where we just didn't finish."
Sophomore defender Brianne Pardini's 87th-minute goal off a pass from first-year midfielder/defender Courtney Diamond against Yale reserve goalkeeper Sarah Walker ensured the Lions their eighth one-goal loss of the season. The Lions, who attempted eight shots in the second frame, were unable to elude Yale goalkeeper Lindsay Sabel, who recorded six saves and 72 shutout minutes in the net. Junior goalkeeper Janine Ierardi played the entire match for the Lions and recorded seven saves.
Two days later, on Monday, the Light Blue underwent a period of catharsis worthy of Dr. Phil, taking the Manhattan College Jaspers to the ropes early and keeping up the beating for a full 90 minutes. The Lions' 5-0 victory was their fourth shutout win and their most lopsided victory of the season.
Fittingly, the Lions' star for the day was senior co-captain forward Meredith Corkery, who scored two goals and added an assist in her last game at Columbia Soccer Stadium. The two goals -- the 21st and 22nd of her career -- moved Corkery to within a goal from fourth place on the Lions' all-time list.
First-year forward Courtney Nasshorn opened the scoring in only the game's second minute, with an assist credited to both Corkery and junior Tara Davis. Less than 20 minutes later, Nasshorn led Pardini to the top of the box, where the sophomore defender ripped a low line drive that snuck inside the right post.
"We wanted to come out strong right away. After we scored the first goal, we played with more confidence," Nasshorn said. "It was really a fun game to play, especially for a forward."
With the score tied 2-0 at the half, the Lions finished out the second period with the same ferocity with which they began the game. In the 72nd minute, junior forward Ashley Clift slid and managed to get a strong enough toe on Nasshorn's pass to muscle the ball into the net. However, the game's waning minutes belonged to the team's one senior, Corkery.
In the 83rd minute, Corkery lofted a chipped feed from the center of the box to the back of the net, and less than two and a half minutes later, the co-captain was knocked down in the Manhattan box and launched the ensuing penalty kick beyond the reach of the keeper for a second time.
Left relatively unbothered in the back, sophomore Erissa Aronson notched two saves in the complete-game shutout. The last call for this year's Lion team will be in Cambridge on Saturday, and the Lions are hoping to return to New York with a win.
"We have nothing to lose," Nasshorn said. "We're not playing for a championship. There are no strings attached."
"We really want to beat Harvard. We're just trying to play with the same formation but come out as a unit," Kiani said. "We're trying to make a statement."

I would appreciate information on tomorrow's John J. Horan Lecture to be given by former Mayor Giuliani. There is no notice of this event contained on the College's web site. I am a 1982 graduate of Manhattan College with a B.A. in Government and Politics and History and presently serve as the Chief Deputy Corporation Counsel for the City of White Plains. I am also the Chair of the Municipal Law Section of the Westchester County Bar Association. I may be reached at <privacy invoked>.

Quick and dirty response from road.
Today being a holiday, I doubt that you'll reach anyone at MC today. I'd call Tuesday AM first thinq to Brother President's office. Even if he's not there, his ace assistant Margaret C. should be able to give you the scoop.
Good luck, let us know how you do, jr

John,
Thank you for your mailings. And yes, of course, include me in your networking profiles list.
Re your writing/editing, you're doing fine. You have a nice informal style.

Hello to Ed Peitler, my classmate who comes from the same Brooklyn street as I and provided many rides to and from Riverdale ca. 1966-7.

Hi John:
I am an alumni of Manhattan class of 1977 with a major in accounting. A fellow graduate Rich Foudy [MCOLDB: 1976 ] gave me your email and a copy of a previous JJ. I would love to be included on the weekly mailing list. My email is : <privacy invoked>
Recently I have been attending more alumni functions such as the Jasper Open, NYC Club meetings and the annual class reunion. I am in a job transition period and have been working on building my network. I would also like to share some of my experience for others who may be going through the same situation.
If you need additional information please contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,

Dear John,
Just wanted to let you know that I called the College and inquired about attending as an alum of MC the Horan Lecture by Rudy Guiliani. Some really rude woman responded by telling me that i was mistaken and that the lecture would be in the city and not at the college and only invited guests, not the public would be allowed in. Do you have any info on this and is this the way the college deals with its alumni? I hope not.
Thanks,
Brian Kelly '95
[JR: I hope not. I don't know who you got but when I ever I need "stuff" I go to the top. Mind you I never get Brother President on the phone, his Executive Assistant Margaret C, or whoever is covering for her, is always pleasant and helpful. (Between you and me, I call his number expecting to chat with her. I doubt he knows all the stuff she does. But, we'll pretend he does.) Seriously, I guess I gave people bum advice, but, I've never gotten a rude answer, even when I wasn't getting the answer I wanted.]

John,
Effective Stember 3, 2002 I changed my place of employment and took on the position as Director of Business Development at McLaren Engineering Group in West Nyack New York.
Briefly:
McLaren Engineering Group is a New York-based Consulting Engineering firm that was founded in 1977. McLaren offers expert consulting services in project management; civil, structural, marine, geotechnical,entertainment and industrial engineering; and underwater inspection. The firm has provided engineering design and inspection services for thousands of projects in the New York metropolitan area, including the design of many waterfront structures for commercial, recreational and industrial use. The firm has an excellent history of experience working for such agencies as the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation, New York City Economic Development Corporation, New York City Department of Transportation, New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, New York State Department of Transportation, Consolidated Edison, and the U.S. Navy.
Please change my e-mail address in your book accordingly and I would also appreciate a posting that McLaren Engineering Group is looking to hire an individual with CM/CI (Construction Management/Construction Inspection) experience preferably with the NYSDOT,NYCDOT,& CDOT. If any of the alumni know of such a person and could direct them to me <care of jottings> it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time and the energy you expend keeping the Manhattan College Alumni linked.
Very truly yours,
The Office of McLaren Engineering Group

College professors, politicians and others whose agenda calls for increased government control over our lives promote the lie that things are getting worse. If we buy into that lie, we'll kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. We might ask ourselves: Why is it that so much of the progress of the past 100 years has originated in America? Moore and Simon provide a simple but compelling answer: "The unique American formula of individual liberty and free enterprise has cultivated risk-taking, experimentation, innovation and scientific exploration on a grand scale that has never occurred anywhere before."

WOW! Walter, (I can call him that because we have exchanged email. He does answer his own email. Even more of a reason to like the guy.) He really can hit the nail on the head. We need to work to remove red tape, when it makes no sense. Libertarians regularly hit the government as the problem in Taxi Licenses, barbershops, and such that prevent people form grabbing the bottom rung of the American dream. I regularly write newspapers when their editorials offend my sense of the American experiment. Wish we had had Walter teaching Economics for Dummies and Engineers. Maybe I'd have listened. We need less regulation and more freedom, IMHO!
