Monday 9/17 James Keating O'Neill Golf Classic

ALL BOILER PLATE is at the end.
Signing off for this week.
Now that another politician has been exposed as having
double standards – condemning Clinton while engaging in the same conduct,
perhaps it’s time that we cleaned out that “stable”! No wonder the stuff that comes
out of Congress is so bad, the workers are “bad”. Time to vote out the
incumbents. Time to “downsize” government and return the power to the people.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in
any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

Ventura
Martin A. Rooney
Martin A. Rooney, 87, died at home
surrounded by his wife and three children on Aug. 29, 2001, after a courageous
battle with cancer. He was a longtime Ventura resident and ardent community
supporter.
Martin was born Feb. 10, 1914, in
Nashville, Tenn., to the late Martin A. and Alice Friel Rooney. He attended 18
schools in 16 years, graduating with a bachelor's degree in business
administration from Manhattan College in New York City. Prior to World War II,
Martin held direct sales positions, ran an advertising agency and published
the Riverdale Press, a weekly newspaper.
Commissioned as an ensign in the
Navy in 1942, Martin took part in the North African campaign, was then
assigned to the USS Cuyama and stationed in the Aleutian Islands. He was then
transferred to the Amphibious Research Group in Norfolk, Va. Thereafter, he
was assigned to the Armed Guard and served on the USS William P. Biddle. He
completed his military career in Washington, D.C., in the materials division
and was honorably discharged in 1948 at the rank of lieutenant commander.
He married Rosemary Nicolini in 1944
and they settled in Ventura in 1948. They were owner-operators of the Circus
Wagon for 10 years. He reactivated his pilot's license with a commercial
rating, owning and flying private planes for many years, often delighting
friends and relatives with their first flying experience. Martin was an avid
photographer. He combined his loves of flying and photography by shooting
aerial photographs, documenting the rapid growth of Ventura County.
He returned to the Navy as a civil
servant in 1959. Mr. Rooney was an administrative officer, management analyst,
program analyst and budget analyst until 1981, when he retired.
Martin was a strong community
supporter. He was on the board of directors of the Ventura County Symphony,
where he served as treasurer, vice president and president. During his tenure,
he computerized the organization. Later, starting as a volunteer for the
Ventura County Public Library, he was appointed by the Ventura City Council to
the Library Board. The Ventura County Board of Supervisors then appointed him
to the Black Gold Tri-County Library Advisory Board. He also served on the board
of directors of the San Buenaventura Friends of the Library, where he worked
tirelessly to keep libraries open. He served in various capacities, including
president and editor of Ex-Libris, the newsletter for San Buenaventura Friends
of the Library.
Martin was a member of Our Lady of
the Assumption Church from its inception, where he served as head usher at the
11 a.m. Mass for over 40 years. He was active in the Knights of Columbus. He
initiated the bingo program at the old mission, which funded the acquisition
of the Knights of Columbus Hall, which is still in use today.
Just as the community benefited from
Martin's active involvement and dedicated service, his family and friends were
enriched by his kindness, even-handed temperament and sweet disposition. He
was most of all a family man and a loving husband and father. With his support
and involvement, all three of his children attended Our Lady of the Assumption
grammar school, St. Bonaventure High School and achieved undergraduate and
advanced degrees.
A true renaissance man, Martin had
many varied interests. He was a member of the Audubon Society and studied
astronomy, chemistry and electronics, building transistor radios, a television
set and his first computer in the '60s. Mr. Rooney also enjoyed museums,
travel and touring with his wife and family, reading and watching movies.
He is survived by his beloved wife
of 57 years, Rosemary, for whom he will always be a prince among men. He will
be greatly missed by his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren,
including his daughter and son-in-law, Terry Warnock of Ventura; son and
daughter-in-law, Patrick and Sally of Bainbridge Island, Wash.; son, Michael
of Mokelumne Hill, Calif.; as well as six grandchildren; and three
great-grandchildren; and brother and sister-in-law, John and Helen of West
Newbury, Mass.
Friends are welcome to visit from 2
until 7:30 p.m. with recitation of the rosary at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31, at
Joseph Reardon Funeral Home, 757 E. Main St., Ventura. Funeral Mass will be
celebrated at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 1, at Our Lady of the Assumption Church,
3175 Telegraph Road, Ventura. Private interment is scheduled at Ivy Lawn
Memorial Park in Ventura.
Memorial contributions may be made
to the San Buenaventura Friends of the Library, P.O. Box 403, Ventura, CA
93002.
Arrangements are under the direction
of Joseph Reardon Funeral Home, Ventura.

Dear John,
As an update on my Saratoga report, my glasses
were found and are on their way back to me but none of the results of any of
the races changed - - still no winners.
On the subject of Horses, a great follower of
them> (Saratoga, Kentucky, Belmont etc.) died last week: Brother Barnabas
Edward O'Neil. Brother was well known and liked by students, faculty and administration
and alumni. He had a great following from Tolintine were he served for 10
years before coming to Manhattan, as well as the many students he taught at
Manhattan. He was the first to hold the position as Vice President for Student
Services when there was so much unrest on the campuses. He latter was the
Director of the Alumni Office and was instrumental in starting the Athletic
Hall of Fame.
At his funeral which was held at Visitation Church
(which was air-conditioned and had ample parking) Brother William Batt did an> outstanding job in summing up
his life as a Christian Brother and a great person. It was fitting that two mounted police were posted outside the
Church during the Mass. He would have liked that!
On another topic, the August 10th edition of the
New York Law Journal at page 2, had a book review by Otto G. Obermaier, Esq,
'57 of a book by Rush Limbaugh's brother David, titled "Absolute
Power:The Legacy of Corruption in the Clinton-Reno Justice Department".
As usual, Mr. Obermaier's review was well done and interesting.

Hey John,
One of the people that you trolled
up is my wife Dyan (nee Galvin) Moclair '94.
I am also a 94 grad and I wanted to also send along that Dyan and I had
our first child, Kevin Robert Moclair on May 16th. He is doing great and growing up real fast. The mailing list is great and keeps me
updated with what is going on in the Manhattan community.
Thanks for the hard work.

John, You said " Now we have to
change our fundamental understanding of economics. It's no longer labor and
capital. Watching the local zoning board on "local cable", I have
learned that there is now a new economic force --- regulation...."
I agree with your entire comment. This
past week, I sent to my friends a copy of a letter that I wrote to a
Congressman. I struggle with the notion of sending these "activist"
notes to you. I'm just not sure what would be OK for a "Jasper"
column.
I'm going to leave it to you to
decide or edit! :-)

Here it is:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a bipartisan effort, the
democrats, republicans and independents in Congress are preparing to spend our
money to get re-elected. It's called pork! They call it
"appropriations".
I believe you and I can make a dent
in this spending. I sent the following letter to Bernie. Please look it over
and send a personalized version to him/your representative or, least call him.
It's not too hard to do since you're so computerized :-) ... If we all do
this, it can make a difference. It's for our families' future.
By the way, the actual amount in the
proposals is $279 billion... That's almost as much as we spend on the entire
Defense Budget! I can't wait to see what Jim Jeffords and Pat Leahy will add
to the number....
At this rate, we'll either see a
stoppage in debt reduction or a reversal of our tax relief...
Thanks,
Joe Zagursky

Honorable Bernie Sanders
United States House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Representative Sanders,
You must stop the frenzy of
wasteful, pork-barrel spending that is taking place on Capitol Hill right now.
I understand that it has gotten so
bad that if every one of the pork-barrel projects that have recently been
proposed in Congress wins passage, you will spend an average of $1,000 for
each and every man, woman and child in America!
Adding up the numbers, this works
out to be 6 times greater than the Bush tax cut that special interest groups
have complained about! Why haven't I heard you raising your voice against the
pork?
These are projects that do not merit
spending our surplus. In the first of the 13 appropriations spending bills,
the House Appropriations subcommittee in charge of transportation approved a
whopping 900 projects. They included funding for items such as $125,000 worth
of sidewalks for a small town in Kentucky and $200,000 for a bike path in New
Jersey.
And these are just two of the 900
pork-barrel projects in just ONE of the 13 appropriations Bills! With this
present course of spending, Congress will steal America's surplus and bankrupt
our future.
It may be that your re-election
isn't at risk because of pork, but please get some honor in your legislative
pen. And if you expect that Congress can spend the surplus and then blame the
shrinking surplus on President Bush's tax cut, be on notice that we will blame
you and your colleagues for any deficits!
The dollars that you are wasting on
bike paths, sidewalks and such, if saved today, will help save Social Security
tomorrow.
I have joined a nationwide effort to
let the American people know that Congress is stealing our surplus in hopes of
reelection and these pork-barrel projects are a threat to the future solvency
of the Social Security Trust Fund and our nation.
I urge you to stop the massive new
spending and instead protect Social Security and our nation's financial future
by paying off the national debt!
Sincerely,
Joseph Zagursky

[JR: <1> Joe, you are
absolutely right in saying that this is totally inappropriate for inclusion
into our alumni news letter. And I would not put it in. Unfortunately, since
you included it the body of your email, as opposed to attaching it, I was
unable to exclude it. <wink> <wink>. <2> I certainly agree
with you that bicycle paths in New Jersey are not a federal problem. As a
libertarian, they are not even a government problem. We should not be taking
taxes, i.e., money extracted from people at gunpoint, for anything less than
urgent constitutional expense. <3> I disagree about “protecting social
security and paying off the national debt”. First, social security in its
current form should not be protected. It is an inter-generation welfare plan
that unconstitutionally extends the power of the federal government. It needs
to be transformed into a 401k. The national debt in a small part has a
valuable function: (a) It serves as a transfer mechanism to apportion costs
into the years that the benefits are received. (b) It serves as an investment
option to retired individuals that is principal risk free. So I would agree
that most of the debt can be paid off, just not entirely. <4> So now we
can resume alumni news. ;-) Good post and thanks for “getting the mob
after the thieves”!]

Good Morning, John:
1. This 'grown man' played with toy soldiers until Wm.
Britain and Sons, Ltd. went out of the lead business in the sixties...without
replacements, they were too precious to be shot at with toy cannon in war
games played on the floor and not on a board. Avalon-Hill had not perfected
its board games yet. Then Capt. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. USNR, (of Gunga Din
fame) auctioned off his collection of toy soldiers in London for the then
exorbitant sum of 14,000 pounds. Since I had recently - 1976 - torn my left
knee to shreds in my classroom stopping a stabbing, I established
"Military Miniatures of Old Greenwich" and began buying and selling
toy soldiers, mostly those made by the firm of Britains, Ltd. I collect highlanders,
especially pipers and drummers, and I deal in Britain's lead, plastic and zinc
military and civilian figures...although I can secure for you almost every
other manufacturer's wares, or at least point you in the right direction to
acquire them.
2. A torn-up knee
ended my teaching career and 20 years of commissioned service ended in 1980. I
was not about to sink into a rocking chair and since I had collected soldiers
from age six, I knew a bit about them and was able to learn more each day,
reading, talking with other collectors, bidding in auctions and dealing by
mail and at shows. I did some small amount of business at home in Old
Greenwich but shows were the biggest attraction. Now, E-bay is rapidly
overtaking the shows as more and more people get computers and get "on
line".
3. Returning to Alaska, if you have or can get
power-point, I will have my lady e-mail you a selection of digital pictures
she took in Vancouver and the lower Alaskan waters. She really is a good
photographer, as well as a systems analyst, seminar writer and seminar leader.
Keep up the good work.

Congress, get off your Bass
and pass the beer tax-cut bill
WASHINGTON, DC -- Congress should
immediately pass a bill that would cut the federal tax on beer in half --
because cheaper beer is as all-American as Killian's Red, Sam Adams White, and
Labatt's Blue, say Libertarians.
"For beer lovers, this bill
tastes great and is less taxing," said Bill Winter, the party's director of
communications. "If Congress refuses to act on this beer tax cut, then
Joe Sixpack will be sadder, Budweiser, about politicians' priorities."
The bill, HR 1305, is currently on
tap for Congressional consideration. Filed by U.S. Rep. Phil English (R-PA),
it would slash the federal tax on beer from $18 per barrel to $9 per barrel --
saving beer-drinkers an average of 16 to 32 per six pack.
U.S. Representatives should support
the bill, said Winter, because such a tax cut fosters good feeling among
ordinary Americans.
"This is a Molson Golden
opportunity for Congress to repeal the 1990 tax hike that doubled the federal
levy on beer," he said. "When, in the Coors of human events, it
becomes possible to give America's 30 million regular beer drinkers a tax break,
politicians should do so with gusto.
"The fact is, 44% of the price
of beer is swallowed by federal, state, and local taxes. It is a Grolsch
violation of human rights to tax beer so steeply -- especially when cutting
the tax in half would reduce federal revenues by only $1.7 billion per
year."
But what about people who say the
federal government needs that extra revenue?
"In a Pig's Eye Pilsner
politicians need the money," said Winter. "Congress ought to be
debating how Lowenbrau taxes can go, not how high they can remain."
However, Congress does deserve a
Pabst Blue Ribbon for even considering the bill, he acknowledged.
"Now they should get off their
Duffs and pass it, and send it to Presidente George W. Busch for his
signature," he said.
HR 1305 already has 187 co-sponsors,
which shows that a sizable number of Congresspeople are willing to go to
Labatt's for beer-drinkers, said Winter. But more are needed to ensure
passage.
"This bill deserves support
across the partisan spectrum -- whether you are a Lone Star Republican, a Red
Dog Democrat, or a Sam Adams-style Libertarian," he said.
"After all, this bill benefits
every American, from St. Pauli Girls to Old Milwaukee boys. It cuts taxes
across the USA -- from Brooklyn Browne Ale to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, and from
Molson Canadian to Mexico's Corona.
"HR 1305 also benefits
Americans 365 days a year -- from Pete's Wicked Springfest ale to Saranac
Summer Wheat beer to Kirins Autumn Lager to Red Brick Winter Brew."
In addition, the beer tax-cut bill
would promote diversity, said Winter.
"This bill will encourage
Americans to drink Murphy's Irish Stout, Harpoon India Pale Ale, Paulaner
Bavarian Alpine Extreme, Thames Welsh Ale, Flying Fish Belgian Style Dubbel,
Baron Premium Czech Dark Lager, and Belhaven Scottish Ale," he said.
"This could help bring
Americans out of the Becks Dark days of beer-drinking intolerance and into the
Miller Lite of multiculturalism."
For all these reasons, Congress
should pass HR 1305 as soon as it returns from its August break, said Winter.
"Congress, don't wait any
lager," he said. "Demonstrate that you are Guinness Extra
Stout-hearted. Get off your Bass, hops to it, prove the Kaliber of your
convictions -- and Pabst HR 1305."
