POSITRACTION: Save Cleveland or any large city

http://www.youtube.com/user/ReasonTV#grid/user/ACB2B97FD63A63BE

Reason Saves Cleveland with Drew Carey

*** begin quote ***

Reason Saves Cleveland With Drew Carey is an original Reason.tv documentary series that will air during the week of March 15-19. Featuring sitcom legend, Price Is Right host, and proud Clevelander Drew Carey, each 10-minute episode investigates and analyzes the problems that turned Cleveland from the nation’s sixth-largest city in 1950 into today’s “Mistake By The Lake.”

*** end quote ***

[JR: In a positive and uplifting piece, Drew Carey takes us through an argument that Cleveland can be saved. How likely is it? It’s a positive call to arms for good people to do something to save what was once the fourth largest city in America. Too heroic a task for me, but is there still the American pioneer spirit? Time will tell.]

JOBIT: Ryan, Michael B. [MC1957 RIP]

http://www.legacy.com/PJStar/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonId=141504022

Michael Ryan

PEORIA – Michael B. Ryan, 73, of Peoria, Ill., passed away at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 3, 2010, at OSF St. Clare Home.

He was born Aug. 20, 1936, in Chicago to Walter J. and Mary Beecher Ryan. He married Maria Chantal Wiesman on June 1, 1963, in Buffalo, N.Y. She survives.

Also surviving are two daughters, Mary (Jeffery) Bolton and Catherine Cameron, both of Peoria; and one son, Matthew (Laura) of Portland, Ore. He also has six grandchildren, Jasmine and Jared Cameron, Jacob, Jessica and Charles Bolton, and Sebastian Ryan; one brother, Thomas (Renee) of Middletown, Conn.; one brother-in-law, Hugh Wiesman (Michaelene) of Chambersburg, Pa.; one niece; and three nephews.

Michael served as regional attorney for the National Labor Relations Board Peoria Region from 1974 until his retirement in 1991. He was a trial attorney in this region, serving downstate Illinois and eastern Iowa from 1966-1974, and served as chairman of the NLRB Regional Attorneys Guild from 1982-1988. From 1968-1971, he served as president of the NLRB Union representing all agency non-supervisory employees in the United States. After his retirement, he served as an independent arbitrator of labor disputes.

He was a member of the Peoria City Planning Commission from 1977-1989, serving as elected chairman of that body from 1979-1989. Mike was also a member of the Tri-County Land Use Advisory Committee. He chaired many annexation hearings, and also served on several ad-hoc city commissions to which he was appointed by mayors Carver, Neumiller and Maloof. Prior to his appointment to the Planning Commission, he had been founder and president of the North Sterling Homeowners Association.

Mike was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church, where he served as a member and officer on the Parish Council and Parish School Board, and was a lector and Eucharistic minister. He also served as a parish delegate to the Diocesan Synod.

For many years he served as an officer and director of the Peoria Notre Dame Club, and served twice as a member of the University of Notre Dame Alumni Senate. He was named Notre Dame Man of the Year in 1980. He received a B.S. in labor relations from Manhattan College in 1957, and a doctor of jurisprudence degree from the University of Notre Dame Law School in 1964. He was a member of the editorial board of the Law Review and a moot court champion at Notre Dame.

He was a White House intern in the summer of 1963. He has been included in “Who’s Who in America” since 1968.

He served in the United States Army from 1958-1961, including 14 months in the Korean Theater, where he was an artillery forward observer.

He was president of the Catholic Interracial Council of Peoria, and a member of the Knights of Columbus Spalding Council 427. He was very active in several Heart of Illinois United Way campaigns, chairing the Combined Federal Campaign portion of that fundraising drive, and serving on its coordinating committee.

After retirement, Michael and Maria spent several winters in their condominium in Kapaa, Kauai, Hawaii. They also took trips to Europe, most notably Ireland and Italy, and cruises to Alaska and Central America.

Mike wrote, “I love all my children, grandchildren, and of course my wife, Maria, my brother, sisters-in-law, brother-in-law, nephews and niece, as well as my many friends. I also love my God, my church, my country, Peoria and Kauai. I love Notre Dame, and the Notre Dame family. I really enjoyed working for the NLRB, which did good work with good people. I was proud to be a civil servant. My life was well spent, good, and I look forward to heaven for eternity.”

Funeral Mass will be at 10 a.m. Friday, April 9, 2010, at Holy Family Catholic Church, with Franciscan Friars officiating. Visitation will be Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. at Wright & Salmon Mortuary, with a scripture service at 7:45 p.m. Further visitation will be 30 minutes before the services at the church on Friday. Burial will be in Resurrection Cemetery.

Memorials may be made to the American Heart Association, to the University of Notre Dame Law School or Holy Family Catholic Church.

Tributes and condolences may be submitted to www.wrightandsalmon.com.

I am seeking a position as a member of the board because it is the next step in serving my community. I will bring to the board a strong professional business background coupled with a sound and current perspective of the elementary and middle school needs from a taxpayer, parental and student perspective. I have a significant amount of experience creating and auditing financial statements and am ready to face the challenges of working within the confines of such a significant loss of state aid.

As a member of the Board of Education, I will be committed to ensuring the proper representation of our taxpayers and to ensure an efficient and effective use of the Board of Education finances.

We are facing very challenging financial and academic times. We need to be prudent in the use of funds and we need to look closely at the proposed changes to our school’s curriculum.

http://www2.timesdispatch.com/rtd/sports/college/article/RMAD09_20100408-205004/335983/

R-MC athletic director stepping down
VIC DORR JR. TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER
Published: April 9, 2010

*** begin quote ***

Randolph-Macon Athletics Director Denis Kanach has spent the past four decades – roughly two-thirds of his life – in and around the arena of intercollegiate sports.

Now, he says, it is time to hand the ball to someone else.

Kanach, who has served as the Yellow Jackets’ AD since 2004, said yesterday he intends to step down at the end of the academic year.

“Virtually everything I’ve done for the past 40 or so years, I’ve done with my career in mind,” said Kanach, 62. “Now it’s time to do something for me and my family. I want to be able to spend time with my wife and my [four adult] sons and my [six] grandchildren while I’m still healthy enough to do it. I’m very much looking forward to that.”

Kanach said he began to reassess his priorities after he and his roommates from Manhattan College gathered for “a Big Chill reunion” last summer.

“Of all of us, I was the only one who wasn’t retired. Everyone was looking at me like, ‘What in the world is wrong with you?’”

[The article contunues]

*** end quote ***

Kanach, Denis [MC????]

[JR: Congrats to Denis on some fine accomplishments. BUT! Remember it's not "retire"; it's "RE-tire". Green growing; brown ... ... You need to shift; not stop. Or so I'm told. Does a trip to MC make you think? All the youngsters on campus drives how the point of "old-ness". Hmmm?]

JEMAIL: McEneney, Mike (MC1953) reports Mullery, Stephen P. [MC1965 RIP]

Subject: Stephen P. Mullery’65B RIP

Dear John,

   Steve was an ardent Jasper and a very nice man. His Father was “Doc” Mullery who taught, among other subjects. public speaking in the School of Business. I still have the 78 RPM recording of my first speech and the last one for his Class. Doc was also a monitor for the NYC Police and Fire Physical Agility Exams that were help down at the Van Coutlandt Stadium. When I took those exams he was encouraging (while laughing at my grace and ability). Steve was very proud of his father and often told stories about their interaction when he was growing up.

   Steve was never shy when it came to letting anyone know what he thought should be done to make Manhattan a better place and to stay true to its tradition.

   He was a great guy and will be missed by all,

   May He Rest In Peace!

   Mike

McEneney, Mike (MC1953)

Valentine was born in Brooklyn, NY on October 7, 1928 to Francis and Caroline (Riso). He moved to Mt Vernon, NY as a teenager and resided there all his adult life until his marriage to Eunice Marini. He was a graduate of Manhattan College and served in the US Army from July 1951 to July 1953.

On April 14, 1956 he married Eunice at St Francis of Rome Church in the Bronx and they have been residents of White Plains for over 48 years. His career was in the field of credit and finance, and for several years he was also a self employed Title Insurance Examiner. For the past seven years, he worked as a collections consultant with G.A. Fleet in Harrison, NY.

He was a parishioner of Our Lady of Sorrows Church and, while his children attended the parochial school, he was active in the Men’s Club. Most recently he was a member of the OLS Seniors. He was also proud to be a White Plains Volunteer Firefighter with Hope Engine Company # 1 for over 20 years, as past Treasurer, Captain, Chairman, President and most recently as a member of the Board of Directors.

Val was an avid golfer and loved to travel. He is survived by his devoted wife of 54 years, Eunice, his loving children Frank (Kara) and Christine (Michelle Madrid) and dozens of nieces and nephews. He was a wonderful family man and was extremely proud of his children, but the biggest joy in his life, in recent years, was the birth of his two granddaughters; Ally (4 years) who affectionately called him Pop Pop and Katie (10 mos.). He is also survived by his twin sister, Marian Barnette and his sister Katherine. He was predeceased by a sister Josephine Trainor.

Visitation will be Thursday 4 to 9 PM. Mass of Christian Burial is Friday 10:30AM Our Lady of Sorrows Church. Contributions can be made to the American Cancer Society. MCMAHON, LYON & HARTNETT FH 491 Mamaroneck Ave White Plains, NY 10605 (914) 949-7777 mcmahonfuneralhome.com

* Entry from The Bronx
Flag of United States The Bronx, New York, United States
Saturday, March 27, 2010

We got a little bit of a lie in today, which was much appreciated after a long, busy day in NYC and a late night. We packed up our stuff and head north to another part of New York, called the Bronx, this is where Manhattan College is and where we would be staying for one night. We dropped off our stuff and headed back to Manhattan Island, where we went to check out our hostel we were going to be staying in for the next 2 nights, it was right next to Central Park :). We went for hot chocolate and a sit down in a cool health food shop before catching the 1 line back up to Manhattan College.

We Met up with Max and all his college friends for evening of Pizza, Beer Pong, Juice and a college party (Teen movie style)!

Nervously we arrived at the border and when we showed our British passports we were told to go inside to fill out the forms to enter the US. After being told we had been denied entry into the us via the visa waiver program, signed all the papers and told we were going back to Canada they suddenly decided to say “We have decided to admit you”!!!!!!!!!!!! we were in shock and pumped with adrenalin now.

From the border we stopped off at Al’s for a lovely burger and fries, American style, went back to the house and drank a bottle of Guinness in the name of St.Patrick with Kevin and Molly, and then finally went to bed.

PETER NICHOLAS ARCOMONE
Port St. Lucie, FL
AUGUST 14, 1948 – APRIL 5, 2010

Peter Nicholas Arcomone, 61, passed away Monday, April 5, 2010, at his home in Port St. Lucie, FL following a short battle with lung cancer.

Born Aug. 14, 1948 in Brooklyn, NY to Vincent J. Arcomone and Concetta M. Arcomone, he attended Xavier High School and graduated from Manhattan College.

He worked as an auditor at AT&T and Western Electric for more than 15 years before his fiercely independent nature led him to strike out on his own and begin a string of successful entrepreneurial companies.

Moving to the Stuart, FL area, he discovered a passion for teaching and founded a thriving tutoring business which he developed over 15 years. With his in-depth background in mathematics, deeply caring personality, and easy-going, relatable manner, the knowledge and lives of many students were enhanced and touched by his guiding hand.

His memory will forever remain with us along with his inner strength, competitive spirit and larger than life sense of humor. He leaves this world as a loving husband and a devoted father and grandfather.

Survivors include his beloved wife, Sylvia; his children, Doris, Peter James and Tina; his brother, Jim; his mother, Concetta; and his dearest granddaughter.

Memorial contributions in Mr. Arcomone’s honor may be made to Treasure Coast Hospice, 1201 SE Indian St., Stuart, FL 34997.

By Stephen Ehrmann (mc 1964)

Professor Cannon taught sophomore engineering students History at MC during the 1961 academic year. I understand that his picture is on page 28 of the 1964 year book.

By Sean Gresh

Hi! Thanks for picking up on my association with Manhattan College. I received a master’s degree in religion there in the 1970s and then went on to Columbia University-Teachers College where I received my docctorate. I loved Manhattan College and the teachers I had were outstanding.

If anyone knows folks in Ipswich Massachusetts, please spread the word!

ENDNOTE: St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York City RIP!

http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=12243698

Gov: No partner in sight for troubled NYC hospital
Associated Press – April 1, 2010 9:05 PM ET

*** begin quote ***

NEW YORK (AP) – Gov. David Paterson says he doesn’t see any partner for beleaguered St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York City.

*** end quote ***

[JR: I take a lot of heat for my opinions about The King (aka The Big Gooferment) crowding out "The Church" (aka the refuge for the little people). Here's a famous Catholic Hospital going broke. (And, I thank Saint Vinnie's for all their student nurses, who took pity on the fat young white guy injineer, and dated him so many eons ago.) Watch it be converted to The King's Hospital (doing abortions), or just a vacant shell. Then tell me how wrong I am! A monument to the War Against Religion!!!]
