POSITRACTION: Two boys, one loud dog, ice, and a rescue

Boy, 7, saves brother after fall through ice in Margate
By BRIAN IANIERI Staff Writer | Posted: Monday, February 1, 2010 | 12 comments

*** begin quote ***

When 10-year-old Sage Lavin fell through ice on a Margate lagoon Sunday afternoon, his younger brother grabbed onto his hand tightly.

*** and ***

About 120 yards away — in a home across the water on North Rumson Avenue — Scott and Joanne Abbott’s dog, Kano, started to bark uncharacteristically.

They said the 60-pound mutt normally doesn’t make a sound.

*** and ***

And the Abbotts were glad they did not have a tragic story to tell Sunday night. Instead, they had one about a barking dog, a red hat and a brother who didn’t let go.

*** end quote ***

[JR: Strange how the dog knew to get loud. How the boy, both boys, were able to hold on until help arrived. I'd say some Guardian Angels were working overtime.]

JEmail: Toner, Mike (MC1972) and the “Zia Reverie”

Dear f. John,

I thoroughly enjoyed the “Zia Reverie” in this week’s Jottings. I had the esteemed professor for both semesters of my second year – advanced calc and ODE, I think. I can attest to the veracity of the partial credit and wrong sign stories. I still, even now – almost 40 years later, have the classic dreams about having a final exam in a class that you haven’t been to – and it always a Dr. Zia class. He had quite an impact on many…

Nyc/auction/18teams/non keeper/big$$$$ – Today, 05:14 AM

*** begin quote ***

I find the best owners are the ones willing to play for decent stakes. I am not looking for an argument here. I am starting a second league. I already have 13 owners for this second league and I intend to fill it up to 18 teams. I have friends who will gladly jump into a second league of mine but I’m searching for new blood.

I find that small league fee’s attract owners who usually quit by June if their team isn’t faring well so that they can concentrate on one of their 10 other leagues where they may have a shot. Not so in my league.

My league is non keeper, it’s both AL and NL combined, no head to head, it’s roto style.

We start 13 hitters/9 pitchers/ and a 5 man bench. So that’s 27 x 18 = 486 total MLB Players. So you need to know your stuff.

We have a shopping rule which prevents the league from B.S. trades. All trades go on the clock for 24 hours giving non involved owners an opportunity to present a counter offer to either owner of the posted trade. If a counter is accepted within the 24 shopping period, then the new deal goes on the clock for it’s own 24 hour shopping period. If a guy trades Albert Pujols to another owner for Jarrod Washburn and Daniel Murphy, we’ll tell him he’s an idiot, he won’t be invited back next season and we’ll wipe that stupidity off the board. But let’s say the owner trades Albert Pujols to another owner for say, Nick Swisher and John Danks. I know, it’s not great, but say someone else counters with Roy Halladay and Adrian Gonzalez. If the owner doesn’t accept the superior counter offer, the owner counter offering Halladay and Gonzalez may protest once the shopping period closes on the Pujols for Swisher/Danks deal. Then the three member commissioners panel will weigh both offers and in this case will tell the owner receiving Swisher and Danks that he must forfeit that deal/accept Halladay and Gonzalez or he gets no deal at all.

This prevents hook ups in the event that two buddies enter our league, join forces and try to rip us off. Now I know that for those of you circling the waters for victims might be pissed if your deal gets countered and you weren’t able to sucker a weak owner but it really is for the betterment of the league.

The league fee is $600 per team X 18 teams for a prize pool of over $10,000. Top four places finish, 4k, 2.5k, 2k, 1.5k Every penny is disclosed and accounted for, which will be posted on the league message board. The commissioner(s) pay full price too.

This isn’t some creepy guy scam who lives in his parents basement apartment. The auction is live and you will meet the other 17 owners the night of the live auction. We rent out a banquet room of a bar/restaurant, we have a hot buffet, we hire an auctioneer and he has an assistant to write down every team’s player purchases, the auction is a ton of fun and it runs fairly smoothly.

Now, this isn’t a name nominated auction where everyone gets to nominate a player one at a time. What we do is pull out a team roster at random and proceed to call out every name on it, some get bid on, some don’t, thus there are quality players throughout the auction and you just have to know when players are going for a bargain price or when they are going for too much money.

The auction is great. I love it. It’s like Christmas and I’m 10 years old again, not 42, as I am today. We have a lot of White Collar types who live in Westchester, Bergen, Suffolk, Nassau counties and NYC. I haven’t picked an auction date yet, but if you are somewhat interested at what you’ve read, feel free to send me an email at edbuzz@optonline.net and I can send you the rules, etc.

Please note, Our league is a more mature league, family men or at least those in their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and up. We really aren’t interested in the younger trade whores who trade their team away all season long and bitch on the message board looking for a fight. You know the type. We want guys who have a feel for the game. That’s one reason why our league entry fee is $600 per owner. We feel it filters out the stupidity.

If you’re in sales, this might be a great opportunity for you to join us and network.

Manhattan College Alumni are especially welcomed.

Good luck in your search for a league that best suits you.

Thanks,
Ed

Staten Island Sports Hall of Fame honors six with staying power
By Jack Minogue
February 28, 2010, 12:45PM

*** begin quote ***

Staten Island Hall of Fame inductees are, from left to right, Art Evans (standing in for his late father Artie Evans), Lewis Sanders, Bob Bertucci, Adewale Ogunleye, Ed Perpetua and Robin Jackson.You would think that after 14 years, the Staten Island Sports Hall of Fame would have exhausted its firsts and its groundbreakers.

*** and ***

But Saturday, the SRO crowd at the Hall’s home, the CYO Center in Pleasant Plains, bore witness to the first inductee who got into his sport by accident, or as storied volleyball coach Bob Bertucci admitted, because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

Joining Bertucci were two more groundbreakers — track and field athletes Artie Evans and Robin Jackson.

Completing Saturday’s class were Ed Perpetua, once a world traveler on the tennis circuit who has become synonymous with tennis on Staten Island, indeed the East, and football greats Adewale Ogunleye and Lewis Sanders, who have never forgotten their Island roots during their NFL careers.

*** and ***

EVANS NOT EASY TO FORGET

Artie Evans running career lasted but eight years.

At St. Peter’s, he played a major role as the Eagles began a run of domination on the Island which lasted for 15 years. Then, he starred at Manhattan College where, in the 1961 Millrose Games, he ran a team-best (151.7) anchor leg on the two-mile relay as the Jaspers set a world record before a frenzied crowd at Madison Square Garden.

Brief, but great.

His son, Art, discovered how good his late father was when he, too, became a runner.

“I’d be clerking in and many times when the clerk checked the runners’ names, he’d go: ‘Art Evans? Who’s Art Evans?’

“Then, he’d tell me how fast my dad was.”

Evans, Artie [MC1961 RIP]

Subject: RE: [Distribute_Jasper_Jottings] JASPER JOTTINGS Week 09 – 2010 February 28

john,

thanks again for all your work on Jottings.

Some perspective on Manhattan’s “peace studies” program. The course was first called “Anatomy of Peace” for the Spring 67 semester and was interdisciplinary. I would also like to point out that among the dozen or so students (so don’t oversell it as widespread), I was one. I was also cadet colonel of the Air force ROTC wing at Manhattan and would end up receiving my commission as a 2Lt. that same spring. Hope that provides some needed perspective that our military are “peacemakers” too.

[JR: ① Thanks. Hopefully, I'm "stitching" us all together. Wish I could make the "Alumni Office" see the value of an energized Alumni news operations as valuable beyond that of a "cash cow". But, I feel that's a quest worthy of Don Quixote. ② Ahh, one of the "comrade colonels"! That's what I called my favorite bridge partner, Bill Fife. Us injineers would josh about a lot of stuff; takes the mind off disasters like Doc Zia. And, I would muse that our military would be in big trouble with him at the helm. LOL, luckily, I was wrong. And, it appears the USA survived. ③I liked Heinlein's dictum that only ex-military should be allowed to vote. That would bring about peace, because the electors would have all seen the horrors of war. Now as an "old man", I believe that even more. I pray for one young man, son of another Jasper bridge player, to get home safe. "Chicken Hawks" have our boys and girls hanging out all over the globe. We need "peace makers" now. You hit a nerve: I end, as do each Jottings, with "Dona nobis pacem".]

From: Moore, Kevin (MC1980)

Subject: REV. REYNOLDO BORZAGA

Dear CIC,

I read with sadness last week of the death of Fr, Reynoldo Borzaga in The Tablet, a publication of the Brooklyn Diocese. Fr. Borzaga was a long time professor of philosophy at Manhattan (especially Christian existentialism) and even longer the chaplain to the Christian Brothers. I saw him recently at my uncle, Br. Luke Salm’s, funeral but the obituary indicates that he died among family in Italy. Although he spent most of his life in the Bronx, he was incarnated in the Brooklyn Diocese. He was a brilliant man, from whom I learned much. The Tablet may still have his obituary and can be accessed at thetablet.org. RIP

Born in Caraveno in Italian Tyrol, he studied at the Gregorian University and Padua State University, both in Rome. He was ordained July 13, 1947, for the Salesian Society of St. John Bosco.

He was incardinated into the Diocese of Brooklyn on Jan. 24, 1963.

From 1957-90, he taught philosophy and theology at Manhattan College. He also served as chaplain to the Christian Brothers on the Manhattan College campus.

The funeral and burial took place in Italy.

The Powers That Be: Coach Honored at Cancer Benefit
BY BERNIE BEGLANE

Basketball has played a major role in the life of Jack Powers.

First as a student at Manhattan Prep and then at Manhattan College.

Upon graduating from the Christian Brothers of the Schools institution in Riverdale, he returned to his alma mater within a short period of time.

Powers coached the Jaspers for 10 years and then became the athletic director for 10 more.

That was followed by 19 years as executive director of the National Invitation Tournament.

And when the NCAA took over the NIT two years ago, Jack continued running the oldest college tournament in the U.S.

Meanwhile, his enthusiasm and hard work did not go unnoticed as there have been many awards and honors bestowed upon him.

The latest took place at the sixth annual Coaches vs. Cancer Golf Outing at the Cherry Valley Club, Garden City, the Monday prior to Labor Day.

The committee, headed by Tom Pecora, coach at Hofstra University, selected Powers as the honoree of the day-long event.

And of all the honors that he has received, Jack was most touched by the latest.

“That is because of Hope Lodge, this year’s beneficiary,” explained Powers.

“When I was told I was to be honored, I researched Hope Lodge and came away amazed at its accomplishments.”

Located across the street from Madison Square Garden and adjacent to St. John’s Church, which is conducted by the Capuchin Fathers, Hope Lodge takes care of families of a cancer patient who comes to New York for treatment.

The Classic, affiliated with the American Cancer Society, has raised almost $200,000 over the past six years.

This time out $50,000 was collected as Citibank became a sponsor. In addition, a journal was produced, thus the advertising brought in additional funds.

“Our best outing thus far,” said Pecora, who grew up playing CYO basketball in Our Lady of Lourdes parish, Queens Village.

“There were 30 foursomes for golf and 250 overall at the dinner.”

Ed Kelly, the golf professional at Cherry Valley who played at St. John’s University and who also is from Our Lady of Lourdes parish, handled the golf proceedings.

What pleased the committee most is that all five prior honorees, starting with Lou Carnesecca of St. John’s University, were in attendance.

Following Little Looie were Rollie Massimino of Villanova; Bill Raftery of Seton Hall; Nick Macarchuk of Fordham and Jack Curran of Archbishop Molloy H.S.

Getting back to Hope Lodge, Powers continued, “I really wanted to know as much about it so I could tell people what it accomplishes.

“Families bringing a loved one to New York for cancer treatment have enough to worry about without wondering where to stay.

“Hope Lodge steps in and takes care of that concern. And it was Norm Roberts of St. John’s University who made the connection for us through Dee McCabe of the American Cancer Society.”

Powers, who grew up in St. John’s parish in the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx, was a standout player at Manhattan College.

“One game that is most memorable was our upset over West Virginia, then No. 1 in the country, in the first round of the 1958 NCAA Tournament at Madison Square Garden,” he recalled.

“Jerry West was their key man and he was held to 17 points while I scored 29. That’s a game you can’t forget.”

Also not forgotten was Jack’s coaching victory over Carnesecca and St. John’s in the Holiday Festival, also at the Garden.

“I have had a very good career in athletics,” concluded Powers, “and I would not change a thing.

“And to receive an honor from your own coaches who are dedicated to helping such organizations as Hope Lodge is something I will never forget.”

WEB FIRST: Winsted gets new Director of Public Works
Published: Monday, March 1, 2010
By DAN IVERS

*** begin quote ***

WINSTED — The town has filled yet another position as it will welcome a new Director of Public Works later this month.

James Rotondo, a 53-year-old Winchester Center resident who has served as Warren’s town engineer since early 2005, will assume his new duties beginning March 15, Town Manager Wayne Dove announced Monday night. The hiring concludes a search that had been ongoing since early December.

Rotondo was chosen from a field of five candidates to replace Patrick Hague. Hague will help oversee Rotondo’s training for a two week period before vacating his position on March 29.

Dove said contract negotiations between the two parties are still ongoing, but Rotondo will be paid around $75,000 to start. The town will save around $8,000 in salary expenses related to the turnover.

“The decision was quite difficult,” said Dove. “We are thrilled to have him come on board.”

Rotondo has lived in Winchester for around 20 years with his wife and children. He has a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and a master’s degree in environmental engineering, both from New York’s Manhattan College.

Prior to his work for Warren, he worked in his family’s Avon-based concrete business Rotondo Precast, and worked in various engineering, land use and consulting capacities for different municipalities.

“I’m really pleased that I’ve been chosen,” he said. “I have four kids that have all grown up here in Winsted, and I’m tickled that I’m going to be working for the town.”

   * So Manhattan College, which is a real school that apparently exists, handed Hurricanes baseball their first loss, and the NYDN has a much too long, triumphant story about it. Whatever. Miami still won the three game series 2-1, including an 18-1 rout on Saturday. [NYDN]

Yonkers police officers promoted
  Will David • March 2, 2010

YONKERS — Detective Capt. William Cave, who joined the police force 41 years ago, was promoted Monday to deputy chief of Investigative Services.

Cave, 59, was joined at the promotion ceremony at the Yonkers Riverfront Library by his father, retired Brig. Gen. William Cave, who served in the Marines and the Army and fought in both World War II and the Korean War.

Cave joined the Police Department on Sept. 22, 1969, with his identical twin brother, Warren Cave, who retired as a sergeant.

Prior to becoming deputy chief, Cave was commander of the Detective Division.

He will now oversee all departmental investigative services.

Throughout his career, Cave, the most senior officer on the force, has worked in virtually every aspect of the department. He graduated magna cum laude from Manhattan College with a bachelor of science degree, majoring in sociology and psychology.

Hank Rosenstein, Player in First N.B.A. Game, Dies at 89

Posted on 02 March 2010.

*** begin quote ***

Hank Rosenstein, who played in what is considered the National Basketball Association’s first game, in 1946, as an original member of the New York Knicks, died on Saturday in Boca Raton, Fla., where he lived. He was 89.

*** and ***

In an era when professional and amateur teams reflected the ethnic immigrant populations of their respective cities, Rosenstein suited up for the game with seven other Jewish teammates. They were Oscar Schectman, Leo Gottlieb, Stan Stutz, Jake Weber and Ralph Kaplowitz (who made up the original starting five) as well as Sidney Hertzberg and Nat Militzok. The coach was Neil Cohalan, formerly of Manhattan College. Of those, only Schectman survives.

JFound: Simonetti, Randal [MC1973] ‘Lawyers Who Needs Them’

http://haoodnla.com/article/lxy09211098y9j01/549580

TalkZone Internet Talk Radio Adds ‘Lawyers Who Needs Them’

TalkZone Internet Radio has added the award winning “Lawyers Who Needs Them” program featuring hosts Randal Simonetti and James Hartman Esq. The program originated on National Public Radio in Rochester in the early 1990s and moved to Rochester’s CBS affiliate WHAM. During that period Simonetti and Hartman received the coveted New York State BAR Association Media Award for broadcast excellence. In 2008, the program became the second most popular show on the San Diego-based Internet network World Talk Radio with a global audience reaching all the way to Australia.

Simonetti and Hartman provide an informative, entertaining and often irreverent look at the law and those who practice it. The hosts explore the application and implication of the law in everyday life. Their discussions cover a wide range of related topics such as education, business, government, medicine, sports and entertainment. No one is safe from the law or Jim and Randal. Their humorous and out spoken approach to topics keeps listeners laughing and interested. They bring legal concepts down to earth. However, they are relentless and direct when it comes to those who abuse the law or manipulate it for personal gain. The hosts bring over 60 years of combined legal, business, and academic experience to the subject and most importantly enjoy helping listeners who call with questions or seek guidance.

The program’s rapid fire pace is complimented with visits from famous legal figures like English barristers Sir James Featherweight and Sir Randal Dishwater along with guests ranging from business, government and judicial leaders to some of Hollywood’s most famous actors and actresses. Each week, legal bunglers are eligible to receive the coveted Simon-Hart Award given to people who abuse the legal system or use the law to take advantage of others.

“We never know who is going to be on the other end of a call,” says Randal Simonetti. “Our objective is simple; we are there to take the fear and mystery out of our complex system of jurisprudence.”

“Make no mistake about it,” explains Jim Hartman, “We challenge those who abuse the system while we advocate for common sense.”

Randal Simonetti is the President and CEO of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society serving over 12,000 clients and their families across 50 counties in Upstate New York. He is also the founder and CEO of Ignition Consulting, Ltd., a full service management, marketing and public relations consulting firm. He has held executive management positions at AT&T, Citicorp, and Frontier Corporation. He holds a BA Degree in English from Manhattan College, a master’s degree in Communications from Manhattanville College and a second master’s degree in Administration from Southern Connecticut State University. He has attended the executive studies program at the Wharton School of Business and the Harvard-MIT School of Dispute Resolution. He has published over a dozen articles on leadership, reputation management, global marketing, mergers and acquisitions and consultative selling.

{Extraneous Deleted}

Both Jim and Randal were professional musicians. Jim toured the country as a member of the United State Army Band playing clarinet and saxophone. Randal founded the successful New York metropolitan area band, “Circus” playing the string bass and bass guitar.

Urban Ellis: Battling to give kids the chances he never had
A Press profile

Two years ago, Urban Ellis trekked up the steep hill from Broadway to Manhattan College on a mission: to start up a college prep program for kids in Marble Hill.

Despite his age — he was 76 at the time — and a bad hip, Mr. Ellis was determined to enlist help from the college for his program.

“The dean walked him upstairs to my office that day. His ambition for the betterment of the kids in the Bronx really has energized me,” said Corine Fitzpatrick, who helped Mr. Ellis successfully apply for a $400,000 Optimal College Readiness grant.

Three vie for one term on Park Ridge Council

Thursday, March 4, 2010

Last updated: Thursday March 4, 2010, 1:24 AM

BY KATHRYN BURGER

Pascack Valley Community Life

OF COMMUNITY LIFE

*** begin quote ***

Democrat Kenneth Brouwer, Republican Steven Hopper and Independent Ann Kilmartin are seeking election to the three-year term on the Park Ridge Borough Council vacated when Superior Court Judge Robert Wilson was unable to decisively determine whether Brouwer or Hopper had won the November 2009 election for the term. The certified results showed that Brouwer won by 8 votes.

Hopper petitioned for and was granted a recount that did not change the certified results. He then filed suit in Superior Court alleging “voter irregularities,” contending that several people who voted in the election were ineligible because they did not live in borough. On Jan. 20, after hearing days of testimony from the voters in question and verifying some of their votes, disallowing others, and leaving several “open,” Wilson ordered a Special Election and the vacation of the term to which Brouwer had been sworn on Jan. 1.

Polls will be open on March 9 from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Following is information provided by each of the candidates.

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.

Elected Office: One-year council term – served 2008; elected to council, November 2009 – served Jan. 1 to 20, 2010.

Family: Wife Eileen, sons Kirk, Luke, Caiden and Kenny

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

Reason for seeking office: (Excerpted from November 2009 campaign)

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.”

http://www.northjersey.com/arts_entertainment/art/86487902_Five_local_women_unite_in_their__Salute__to_the_arts_.html

Artists have joint exhbit at West Side Presbyterian Church
Friday, March 5, 2010
BY EILEEN LA FORGIA
The Ridgewood News
STAFF WRITER

*** begin quote ***

Ridgewood artist Laura Marcusa called the show at West Side Presbyterian “Interesting choice – to see how work came together with each artist having her own style.” Five artists from the Ridgewood/Glen Rock neighborhood group of SALUTE to Women in the Arts have joined together for this exhibit: Anne Connors Winner of Ridgewood; Laura Marcusa, Ridgewood; Carole Goldstein, Wyckoff; Harriet Sobie Goldstein, Teaneck; and Marsha Heller, Leonia.

SALUTE was formed in 1974 because there was a need for an organization representing women in the arts in northern New Jersey where they lived. SALUTE members represented the performing arts, visual and literary arts. Now, most members are visual artists, and men are also encouraged to join.

The neighborhood group of approximately 15 artists meet monthly giving members an opportunity to discuss new techniques, new shows and critique each others work. “The group provides encouragement for beginning artists – it’s important to show your work – it takes courage.” Marcusa said. She called SALUTE a place for an artist to explain his or her art to a group. They also visit museums, shows and paint plein air. SALUTE sponsors art exhibits on a variety of themes, invites the public and does not jury for membership.

*** and ***

Harriet Sobie Goldstein is displaying seven monotypes, hand-pulled artist prints on printing paper that she embellished with crayon, pencil and watercolor paints. They reflect a romantic view of nature: “A New Day,” “Fall River,” “Sun Sensation,” “Talking Trees,” “Sun Ahead,” “Moon Lit,” and “Sky.” Goldstein said, “Atmosphere is important to me, weather, clouds, sunsets, skies are all based on nature. “Manhattan Bridge” and “Night Bridge, GW” are both oil on canvas and part of a series. “I went around the city on the Circle Line taking photos of bridges and the water that encircles Manhattan.” Her work is on display at the Phoenix Gallery in Chelsea.

Goldstein has a BA in art from Hunter College, and an MA from Manhattan College and an Art Teaching Certification from William Paterson University, and completed advanced studies in painting and printmaking at the Art Students League and Montclair University. “I am interested in creating landscapes that are not ordinary. I have continued my interest in landscape ideas to printmaking.” Her monoprints are one-of-a-kind handmade prints.

Memories of a great man, my father »

*** begin quote ***

Two of the earliest memories I have sharing a day with my dad go back over 40 years ago, when we were sitting in a stifling Yankee Stadium – the original one, mind you – as the Yanks played a doubleheader against the White Sox on Bat Day. Both my dad and my older brother, Michael, swear it was in 1968, though none of us can remember who won either game. But if you remember the 1968 Yankees, the odds of the White Sox winning both games would have been a safe bet. We do, however, remember my dad buying us so much ice cream that we almost became lactose intolerant that day.

MFound: Support Programs for Hispanic Students

A Shoulder to Lean on: Support Programs for Hispanic Students

*** begin quote ***

There are many colleges and universities with support programs that help assist students who lack preparation and financial resources to pursue a college degree. New York State established one such program in 1970; HEOP (Higher Education Opportunity Program) enabled me to attend a private college and successfully graduate. The program focuses on NYS residents and students who have already started the process of applying for colleges.

Emerging from an economically disadvantaged background myself, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to attend college until I heard about this program by chance 15 years ago. Back in 1992, I knew nothing about HEOP or what it offered. While many high-school students knew already which colleges they would go to, I was struggling with the fact that I might not have enough financial backing to attend any college. Neither my parents nor I were aware of the available help. I was lucky enough to hear about the program through a friend, and four years later I became the first in my family to earn a college degree.

Acceptance into the HEOP program is based on certain residency, school and financial requirements. The program offered by Manhattan College, where I attended in Riverdale, NY, provides testing, counseling, tutoring, academic advisement and financial assistance to prospective and accepted students throughout the four to five years they are in school.

Comment on JEmail: Apoldo, Lou (MC1963) defends Jerry’s cartoons

By Ray Lodato

Hi Lou,

Thanks for a truly humorous (and impressively uninformed) attack. You really made my day.

I’m a 1984 graduate of Manhattan. At no time have I ever attended a Jesuit institution. Nor do I have any link to Saul Alinsky, his philosophies or values.

If you actually read my post (you go from left to right, for your information), you’d see that my concern was the use of Jasper Jottings for partisan purposes. If there was any indications of even-handedness, I would not have bothered to respond. But all the cartoons are from one side, offering up cheap shots with no regard for the facts.

It’s amusing, to some degree, that you characterize my comments as “un-American.” Last I checked, Cheney and Bush didn’t get around to repeal the First Amendment. I have no power to stifle anyone’s opinions. I was merely suggesting that we think about the purposes of the site and try to be inclusive of the opinions of all Jaspers. Your attempt to stifle my ability to offer a dissenting opinion are a classic form of political correctness and a heavy-handedness that has no place in a democratic (small-d) society.

ENDNOTE: Put the marketplace in charge to reduce medical costs

Health Care Cost Control – It’s Hard But Can Be Done

Feb 27, 2010

*** begin quote ***

I want to have the liberty to make those choices. Everyone having the liberty to make those choices will bend the cost curve down. The medical community, which is a business, will have the incentive to find a way to drive down the cost of a $3,000 procedure to say $300. If they did so, I just might show up every 5 – 10 years at that price. That’s how markets work. If your flat screen TV set, or your medical procedure is too expense the demand drops. If you find a way to keep lowering (get that? lowering) the cost the demand will rise. But if you don’t pay the bill, if you don’t see the bill, you don’t care about the bill. If you don’t care about the bill and no one else does, then the government gets involved and the problem doesn’t get solved. Your liberty gets taken away along with your money and the government tells all their stupid citizens what to do, because, after all, government knows best. Right?

He is married and the father of four. He was born in New York City and grew up on Long Island where he currently resides.

[JR: Seems so obvious. That distortion, in the marketplace as a result of the WW2 wage and price controls, keeps us poor. Make "health insurance" more like "life insurance" or even "car insurance". Why not like "pet insurance"? Get the gooferment out of medicine -- including Medicare, Medicaid, the VA, and the Indian Health Service -- will make us all better off.]
