JEmail: Delaney, Gerard M. (MC1975) didn’t hear bells

John,

Ringing of the Angelus bells stopped not later than the spring semester of 1971, because I do not remember hearing them during my first semester, in the fall of 1971.

[JR: I remember them in high school. Can't say as I sepnt much time up on the "hill" as an undergrad. So sometime between 1964 and 1971, they "broke". Probably a noise ordinance?]

JEmail: Rooney, John Peter (MC1965) still hearing bells; just not at MC

I still hear the bells.

In 1957, I enlisted in the United States Navy. So, in 1957 and ’58, I saluted an American flag with 48 stars. In 1959, the number of stars jumped to 59 with Alaska’s statehood. Then, in 1960, I saluted an American flag with 60 stars.

As the sun went down over Naval Air Station, Key West, “Colors” was sounded and all sailors and Marines, outdoors, were supposed to turn toward the main flag pole and salute. I recall that many sailors would run to get inside a barracks, or mess hall, or hangar, so as to avoid the necessity of saluting the flag. They were missing out on performing an honor to the flag of their country.

In September 1961, I was an Engineering Freshman at Manhattan College. I stood in line to register, and the fellow in front of me was surprised to see that my Cardinal Hayes High School ring was “1957” and not “1961”.

I was on the Manhattan Varsity Swim Team (yes, there was a Men’s Swim Team, but the old pool is gone). We had to eat lunch earlier so we could practice in the afternoon. As I ran down the stairs to Plato’s Cave, the noon time Angelus Bells would sound. Students would run into the nearest building, even Smith Auditorium, to avoid the necessity of saying a few “Hail Marys” (and to themselves). They were missing an opportunity to honor the Virgin and to gain some grace.

Now, as I hit my seventieth year, I sometimes drive through downtown Plymouth, Massachusetts, just as the Angelus Bells are ringing at my church, the Church of St. Peter. I can’t pull over, but I do begin, “The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary”.

Yes, I still hear the bells.

[JR: When I was in the military, on a tri service installation, I use to enjoy being out for "recall". I specifically remember the Marines falling out of their offices or quarters to assemble for recall. And, not just the shmoes. Officers too. It was not organized; just something they "did". (I remember on Saturday mornings how they'd fall out as a group at 6AM for their "run", very noisy and disturbing to this airman's sleep. I admired that a lot less.) When I was in High School, since I was usually being reprimanded for some transgression or other, I was usually late getting over for lunch. We Prepsters had to be in and out quick to be out of the way. I remember be caught a lot. Maybe it helped. Hmmm, maybe it was even deliberate? Hey, I waz tricked!]

Manhattan College, Congregation Tehillah, Riverdale Temple And Hebrew Institute Host Special Program

JJ Keki, leader of Abayudaya Jewish community of Uganda, visits College on

Oct. 24.

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Manhattan College, along with Congregation Tehillah, Riverdale Temple and the Hebrew Institute, have teamed to co-sponsor a program featuring JJ Keki, a leader of the 1,000-member Abayudaya Jewish community of Uganda. It will be held in Manhattan College’s O’Malley Library on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 7:30 p.m.

The program, which is free and open to the public, is part of a Kulanu speaking tour to raise funds for two Abayudaya schools that educate and feed 700 Jewish, Christian and Muslim children. Kulanu – “All of Us” in Hebrew – was founded in 1994 and is a nonprofit organization that supports isolated and emerging Jewish communities around the world.

Keki has been acclaimed in O, The Oprah Magazine for his interfaith coffee co-op and was also nominated for a Grammy in traditional world music. He will share the story of the community’s evolution, from its struggle to maintain its Jewish identity in the face of persecution, to the remarkable development of ties with neighbors of different faiths. A multimedia presentation will detail the education, nutrition, health and economic development programs that are supported by Kulanu.

For more information, please contact Lois Harr, director of campus ministry and social action, at (718) 862-7142, e-mail lois.harr@manhattan.edu or visit www.kulanu.org/abayudaya.

Four vie for two council terms in Park Ridge
Thursday, October 22, 2009
BY KATHRYN BURGER
Pascack Valley Community Life

*** begin quote ***

The Park Ridge Borough Council is currently comprised of five Republicans and one Democrat. The mayor is a Democrat. The two terms being contested in the Nov. 3 election are currently held by incumbent Republicans, neither of whom are seeking re-election. Should the Democratic challengers prevail, the council will return to the composition it had in 2007 – three Democrats and three Republicans. In this form of municipal government – the weak mayor system – the mayor votes only if the council’s votes result in a tie.

The candidates were all asked for background information and a statement about why they are running for council. Their responses follow.

Kenneth Brouwer

Age: 39

Borough resident: 13 years

Occupation: Vice president of electrical contracting company, New York City

Education: Joint apprenticeship Program IBEW Local 164 – Manhattan College bachelor of science degree in organizational leadership and management; projected graduation December 2009.

Elected Office: One-year council term: served 2008.

Family: Wife, Eileen; sons Kirk, 11; Luke 10; Caiden, 8; Kenny 5

Community Activities: Park Ridge Board of Utilities 2003-2007; Park Ridge Council 2007-2008; Park Ridge Planning Board 2009 – present; Park Ridge Athletic Association – coached various sports with sons; Habitat for Humanity; Rebuilding America.

Reason for seeking office:

Brouwer said he wants to serve the community and work to maintain the character of the town. “Park Ridge is a great place to live and raise a family, but there are many pressures we all have to deal with to afford to live here. I want to use my business and leadership experience to bring clarity of thought to the Park Ridge Council. I thoroughly enjoy community service and giving back to the town I love.”
