INDEX2012-Jan-01POSITRACTION: 67 years of lovehttp://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/a-daughter-keeps-her-word-as-her-husband-takes-it-one-step-furtherA daughter keeps her word, as her husband takes it one step further By Kevin Kelly *** begin quote *** Kansas City, Mo., Nov 24, 2011 / 01:19 pm (CNA).- Hollywood used to write love stories like this, but a cynical world stopped believing them. It was around 2 a.m. on June 9, 1944, when 15-year-old Mary Michler and her friends, who had taken the wrong bus on their way home from the movies, walked into Pops, a Kansas City hamburger joint at 44th and Prospect. Charles Cahill, was celebrating his high school graduation that night, fell in love. At first glance. For both of them. “I knew the girl she was with, so I had her introduce me,” Charles said. “I told my best friend the next morning that I met the girl I was going to marry.” What followed was 67 years of love, not just that between a man and a woman, but also between a father and daughter, that survived through hurt, torment, rejection, before finally coming to a place of acceptance and peace, and love between a people and a church always willing to welcome home. *** and *** So he took one more step. Charles told Father Davis that he wanted to join Mary as she resumed her practice of the Catholic faith. On Sept. 27, 2011, 66 years after they stood before a less-than-sober justice of the peace in Paola, Kan., Charles and Mary Cahill received their sacramental marriage. On Nov. 6, 2011, Charles Cahill was baptized and confirmed during the 11:15 a.m. Mass, then he for the first time in his life, and Mary for the first time in decades, received Holy Communion. “It’s wonderful,” Mary said. “It’s been a wonderful life with him, even before I made the promise to my father. And it’s wonderful now.” *** end quote *** [JR: A great story. And, for New Year’s Day, when we get a chance to restart with new beginnings, this has so many lessons for us on many levels. One of which is that you can wait 66 years to get a new start. Dona Nobis Pacem ] # # # # # |

The next sport is Women’s Lacrosse. Emilia Ward joins the Battlers as the new head coach after working at Winthrop University and Adrian College in Michigan. She played college lacrosse at Manhattan College and brings both coaching and playing experience to the new program. Even though women’s lacrosse doesn’t have a full conference membership yet, Ward believes by 2013 they will be competing at a national level. “Hopefully we’ll be in a conference by then. We’re working with a couple of different conferences right now to try and get in, so our hopes are to be in a conference competing for that conference championship. But if not definitely competing for regional births, and everything like that in our third or fourth year of the program,” Ward said. # – # – # – # – # Ward, Emilia (MC2008?)

The ten-year-old me prayed that the walkie-talkies gift idea had been passed on to my godmother, who turned up on New Year’s Eve every year—an annual tradition—and actually bought me real presents. She was both a generous and kindly woman, and her husband was an incredibly nice man, too—born in Germany with a thick German accent. He couldn’t be my godfather because he wasn’t Catholic, which I thought was silly then as a little boy and even sillier now. He should have been my godfather. Two years later, though, he was gone. A freak accident, and an even more freakish blood clot, took his life at the age of forty-two. Both a good man and a New Year’s Eve tradition ended just like that. *** end quote *** # – # – # – # – # [JR: Great post with good advice. Read the whole thing.

Below are brief missives of intent from two of the candidates seeking election. *** and *** Mary Anne Evangelist has been a resident of South Nyack and an active community member since moving here from the Bronx with her late husband, Michael Carleo, in 1976. She has served on the Orangetown Board of Assessment Review and the South Nyack Zoning Board, including many years as its chair. She volunteered as a PTA officer on every level as well as Girl Scout and Cub Scout leader as her children moved through the Nyack schools. She volunteered for many years as the cook at the Holy Sprit Café, a soup kitchen formerly housed at St. Ann’s church. Dr. Evangelist is a member of the steering committee of Friends of the Nyacks, a member of the Friends of the Nyack Library, the Historical Society of the Nyacks, and Edward Hopper House Art Center, where she recently served as a docent for the Hopper exhibit, Prelude. She has also volunteered at the Information Desk in the Nyack Library and maintains the website for Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church in Tappan. Professionally, Dr. Evangelist has been a teacher, guidance counselor, principal and Assistant Supt. of Schools for over 40 years. Currently, she is an Adjunct Professor at Long Island University’s Orangeburg Campus, and is filling the position of Interim Ass’t. Supt. of Schools in Rye. She holds a BA from the College of New Rochelle, an MA from Manhattan College in Counseling, and a Ph.D. from Fordham University in Education. "I believe that a public library should be the heart and hub of every thriving community and our library in Nyack has clearly met that expectation for me and for my family," she said. "The Nyack Library is a warm, welcoming place where, as the old TV jingle for Cheers offered, ‘…everybody knows your name’. At the same time it has grown and evolved into a state of the art facility that comfortably reflects the technology and information needs of the 21st century." "I would hope to make a contribution to the Nyack Library through service on Board as a result of my direct experiences with libraries as a principal; as a manager of both people and facilities; experience with budget development and administration; and extensive work in the area of interpersonal relations. I would also commit to listening to the community so that decisions which shape the future of the Library reflect the thoughts and desires of those it serves." "I have a favorite child’s quote that I think captures best what I value most about what the library is… and what it can be. It goes something like this" 'Books let me see the world when my mother won’t even let me cross the street.'" *** end quote *** Evangelist, Mary Anne [MC????] # - # - # - # - # 2012-Jan-05 @ 08:05 Dear John, I believe that Mary Anne received her Masters in 1973.

But there is an important distinction: it is privately owned. In practice, that means an entity called the Fieldston Property Owners’ Association, rather than the city, maintains streets and sewers. Also, in addition to the city’s 50th Precinct, the area is policed by a private security patrol; it issues passes for parking on the street. These services cost homeowners an annual fee of a few thousand dollars over and above city property taxes (the specific amount is pegged to lot size). On the edges of the area are three elite private schools: Horace Mann, Ethical Culture Fieldston and Riverdale Country. Manhattan College is also on the border.

2012-Jan-07ENDNOTE: Result, a healthy baby boyhttp://www.theblaze.com/stories/teen-succumbs-to-cancer-after-stopping-treatment-to-deliver-healthy-baby-boy/Health Teen Succumbs to Cancer After Stopping Treatment to Deliver Healthy Baby Boy Posted on December 27, 2011 at 7:36pm by Liz Klimas *** begin quote *** POCATELLO, Idaho (TheBlaze/AP) — This is not the storyline you may expect in the case of teen pregnancy. Jenni Lake gave birth to a baby boy the month before her 18th birthday, though she was not destined to become just another teenage mother. While being admitted to the hospital, she pulled her nurse down to her at bed level and whispered into her ear. The nurse would later repeat the girl’s words to comfort her family, as their worst fears were realized a day after Jenni’s baby was born. “She told the nurse, ‘I’m done, I did what I was supposed to. My baby is going to get here safe,’” said Diana Phillips, Jenni’s mother. *** end quote *** [JR: You have to just marvel at humans. Facing her own mortality, she chose to give her child the chance for life. Now, I don't know what's right and wrong. I'm sure my fellow alums would know better than I. Pre-marital sex, bad. Killer cancer, bad. Motherless child, bad. imho Life, good. I'm not a great ethicist, just a fat old white guy injineer who will say a prayer tonight for Mother and Child. And, all who have taken that final journey. I think, in the end, the girl / woman did her best in a tough situation. Hope I never find myself in such. I need little challenges; commensurate with my limited abilities. I'll leave the heroic choices, challenges, and labors to the real heros. My fellow alums.] # - # - # - # - # |
