ALL BOILER PLATE is at the end.
Signing off for this week.
Well the flags on the cars and overpasses are getting more frayed. The "Proud to be an American" newspaper cutouts are bowning and curling with age. The home-made "God Bless America" signs are "bleeding" their ink. All these ersatz forms of patriotism that have taken hold since 9-11-01 are wearing thin.
The most frequent call for sacrifice these days is for Americans to take a vacation. The Republicans want to spend money to get the economy moving. Ignoring the fact that the "ship" may be taking off now without their "help". The Democrats are no better quibbling at priorities and trying to stall to gain advantage in the upcoming elections. In short there will be no leadership coming from Washington.
So what should "real Americans" do. Well, we have the power to move mountains. No one can keep us from doing what is right.
If you really are a "patriot", then it is time to do the "heavy lifting". Clean up the dingy flags, retiring them with honor. Perhaps a donation to the VFW, Legion, or the Boy Scouts would be in order. If you don't have a retirement ceremony, planned ask for one. If there is one, attend.
If you are "Proud", then act like one and stand up for the American ideals -- free speech, fair play, and equal rights.
And, if you really want "God", then you have to invite him into your hearts. How about some "charitable efforts"?
From my pov, there is a big difference between "ersatz" and "real" patriots. It's what we do in the long haul.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.
"Collector-in-chief" John

"Night and the City" one of my all time favorites. Can't quite
remember. Did Richard Widmark play Harry Fabian as an American? In the book
Harry Fabian was an Englishman nicknamed 'Yank' because he aped American
mannerisms. Doesn't make much difference I suppose.
A brief personal reminiscence. I saw Mike Mazurki in person when they were shooting "Night in the City" in London. I had a very junior position in the London office of TCF. Mazurki would come into the office to flirt with the girls when he was not shooting. A very charming and amiable man. I understand from imdb that contrary to his screen portrayals of dim witted thugs he graduated top of his class from Manhattan College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1930.

HEADLINE: OBITUARIES; Frank Shevlin, 71; Was Beloved English Teacher
BYLINE: By Nedra Rhone; STAFF WRITER
Students at Walt Whitman High School
dreaded Frank Shevlin's daily quizzes in English class, but by the end of the
course "they were eating out of his hand," said Edward Faetz of
Smithtown, who worked with Shevlin for 23 years. Though the disciplinarian was
a tough teacher known to check students with a swiftly spoken "cease and
desist, vile body," they respected Shevlin's knowledge.
Shevlin died on Dec. 9 of a heart
attack. He was 71. "It was a complete surprise to everyone," said
Faetz, also an English teacher at the school. Shevlin had planned to visit his
brother's family in Virginia for the holidays.
"He was a lot of fun," said
Shevlin's brother, John V. Shevlin Jr. of Norfolk, Va.
In addition to being a dedicated
teacher, Shevlin was an opera enthusiast and a lover of languages. He often
entertained colleagues at dinner parties, sitting for hours in his Belair,
Queens, home to discuss culture and education. Shevlin spoke fluent French,
Spanish and Italian. He even studied hieroglyphics and mummy wrapping among at
least a dozen other courses in Egyptology, his latest passion since retiring 15
years ago.
If his passion for Egypt expressed
his eccentricity, his collection of about 2,000 opera recordings was purely
classic. "He sent me home with LPs, and he would give me a quiz on the
salient points of the opera," said Faetz, who was 21 when he first met
Shevlin. "He got more people interested in the opera; the Lincoln Center
should have given him a finder's fee."
A former advertising man, Shevlin
gave up his 10 years in the business to teach at Walt Whitman, in Huntington
Station. With a master's degree in French and English from Manhattan College,
the native of Belair never regretted his decision. "He felt he would have
more of an effect as a teacher, and there was a challenge in it for him,"
Faetz said. Shevlin advised the school paper for five years and chaperoned
students traveling to Europe in the school's exchange program.
Students who remembered Shevlin's
influence would reconnect with him many years later. "Frank Shevlin was a
person who wanted to pass to students something he thought was important,"
said former student John H. Farris, 50, of Norman, Okla. "I think he
crystallized the idea that learning is important and words are important."
Farris visited with his former
teacher in June, more than 20 years since they had last seen each other at
Farris' West Point graduation.
Farris, an investment representative,
was surprised to learn that Shevlin had died. He searched for his dog-eared,
underlined copy of "The Once and Future King" by Terence Hanbury
White, which he read so many years ago in Shevlin's English course. "I
wish I could remember all the books that we read," Farris said. "It
did have an impact."
Shevlin is survived by his brother. A
funeral Mass was held at Incarnation Church in Queens followed by a burial at
Calvary Cemetery, also in Queens. In Shevlin's honor, friends and family are
planning a memorial scholarship for students at Walt Whitman. LOAD-DATE:

John M. Duffy, 66, Ex-Suffolk
District Court Judge
By Rick Brand
STAFF WRITER
January 11, 2002
Former District Court Judge John M.
Duffy, whose far-flung career included stints as a deputy Suffolk police
commissioner and an FBI agent, died Wednesday after a two-year battle with
brain cancer. He was 66.
Duffy, a Third District Court judge
for the past four years, died at his Fort Salonga home.. His death comes days
after he officially retired Jan. 1, although his illness had kept him off the
bench since June.
His death also comes months after one
of his sons, Michael, died in the tragedy at the World Trade Center, where he
worked on the 89th floor of Tower Two for the brokerage firm of Keefe, Bruyette
and Woods. The family, which has just received an urn of ashes from officials
at Ground Zero, will bury those with Duffy.
"They will be together. That is
a kind of consolation," said Barbara Duffy, the judge's widow.
Duffy started his law enforcement career
as a New York City police officer, patrolling the streets of Harlem, and also
worked as an FBI agent in New Orleans. He later worked as a Suffolk assistant
district attorney, a Huntington Town attorney and for two years a deputy
Suffolk police commissioner. He capped his career in 1998 when he was appointed
judge by County Executive Robert Gaffney, a post to which he was elected that
November.
"He just absolutely loved being
on the bench," said Michael O'Donohoe, Suffolk commissioner of jurors and
a longtime friend. "And he loved the law.”

MANHATTAN TOPS FAIRFIELD 88-72 FOR 12TH STRAIGHT WIN
Luis Flores Pours in Career-High 27
RIVERDALE, NY – Sophomore Luis Flores
(New York, NY) scored a career-high 27 points while playing all 40 minutes to
lead the Manhattan Jaspers (12-1, 4-0) to an 88-72 victory over the Fairfield
Stags (3-8, 2-2) in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game in Draddy Gym.
Manhattan won its 12th game in a row,
and now shares the third-longest active winning streak in Division I with
Florida. The Jaspers also won their 10th game in a row at Draddy Gym dating
back to last season. The Jaspers are also 4-0 in the MAAC for the first time
since 1991-92, when they won their first eight conference games in a row.
Trailing 11-10 midway through the
first half, the Jaspers went on an 11-0 run to assume a 21-11 lead at the 8:39
mark. The Stags would get as close as six on two occasions but the Jaspers
maintained a double figure advantage for the majority of the half. Manhattan
led 39-27 at the break, while forcing 15 Fairfield turnovers and picking off 10
steals.
The Jaspers opened the second half
with a 17-2 spurt to assume a commanding 24-point lead (56-32). But Fairfield
wouldn’t go away as the Jaspers saw their lead dwindle to single digits after a
17-0 run by the Stags. Fairfield would eventually cut the deficit to five
(64-59) on a pair of free throws by Kudjo Sogadzi. Solid free throw shooting
helped the Jaspers push the lead back to 12 (72-60) with 6:26 remaining to keep
the Stags at bay.
Flores hit 9-18 shots from the floor
for a season-best 27 points to lead all scorers. Flores was one of four Jaspers
in double figures. Senior Von Damien “Mugsy” Green (New York, NY) tallied 19
points on 6-9 shooting with six steals and three assists. Junior Jared Johnson
(Bronx, NY) tallied a season-high 14 points on 6-11 shooting and sophomore Dave
Holmes (Washington, DC) chipped in 12 points and a team-high seven rebounds.
Sogadzi was the high man for the Stags with 22 points.
Manhattan returns to action on
Saturday, January 12 when they travel to Poughkeepsie, NY to take on the Marist
Red Foxes at 7:00 PM.

International Association of Athletics Federation. He also remains first in the
National Collegiate Athletic Association and in the Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference rankings.
Freeman has upheld his ranking since
throwing an outstanding 21.42m, a new school record, at the Princeton
Invitational held at Jadwin Gymnasium on December 7, 2001. The throw not only hit the NCAA automatic
qualifying mark, but also broke Manhattan’s school record he threw last year of
21.37m.
Freeman and the Jaspers will return

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL BEATS NIAGARA 73-69
Rosalee Mason Paces Manhattan with 24 Points and 13 Rebounds
NIAGARA UNIVERSITY, NY – The
Manhattan College women’s basketball team came back from a ten-point deficit to
beat Niagara 73-69. Manhattan improves
to 7-6, 2-2 MAAC in its first win at Niagara since the 1996-1997 season, while
Niagara drops to 2-11, 0-4 MAAC.
Niagara started the game on a 22-9
run over the first nine minutes of the game and led by as many as 16 in the
first period. Manhattan started to put
points on the board, but Niagara capitalized on 13 Lady Jasper turnovers and
led 40-30 at the half. Jessie O’Donohue
led the Purple Eagles with 11 points at the half, while Rosalee Mason (London,
England) led Manhattan with ten points at the break.
Both teams started the second half
with strong shooting, but Manhattan shot 13-16 on a 25-9 run to hold a
five-point lead at the nine-minute mark.
Despite cutting the lead to one (62-61) at 5:07, the Purple Eagles could
not retake control of the game and Manhattan did not trail again.
Eve Walters (Pittsford, NY) scored
all eleven of her points during Manhattan’s second-half run. Donnette “Shorty” Reed (Syracuse, NY) came
off the bench to add four key baskets for nine points. Reed also nabbed three steals and added
three assists. Elana Greene (Brooklyn,
NY) scored ten points and grabbed seven rebounds in only 17 minutes of
action. Mason finished with a game-high
24 points and 13 rebounds for her 12th double-double in 13 games.

JASPERS KNOCK OFF NIAGARA, 98-56
Manhattan Wins 11th in a Row, Still Perfect in MAAC
RIVERDALE, NY – Sophomore Luis Flores
(New York, NY) tied his career-high with 26 points to lead five Jaspers in
double figures as the Manhattan Jaspers cruised to a 98-56 victory over
visiting Niagara University in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game Monday
night in Draddy Gym.
With the win, the Jaspers improve to
11-1, 3-0 MAAC, while the Purple Eagles fall to 6-9, 2-2 MAAC. The win was the
ninth straight for Manhattan in Draddy Gym, and the 11th in a row overall,
marking the third-longest active winning streak in the nation. The Jaspers
remain the only undefeated team in MAAC Conference play at 3-0.
With the score knotted at 14-14
midway through the first half, the Jaspers outscored Niagara 16-1 to double up
the Eagles (30-15) and never looked back. Manhattan shot 61.3 percent from the
field and took a 49-33 lead into the lockerroom. Flores led the Jasper charge
with 17 first-half points.
The Jaspers poured it on in the
second half and finished with their largest margin of victory of the season (42
points). The Jaspers beat Niagara for only the second time in the last nine
meetings. Flores led all scorers with 26 points on 8-13 shooting, and was a
perfect 8-8 from the foul line. Senior Von Damien “Mugsy” Green (New York, NY)
tallied 21 points and a career-high eight rebounds, while sophomore Dave Holmes
(Washington, DC) finished with 15 points, four assists and three steals.
Sophomore Jason Benton (New Haven, CT) and junior Darnell Tyler (Long Branch,
NJ) tallied 10 points apiece.
The Jaspers will look to make it 10
in a row at Draddy Gymnasium on Thursday, January 10 when they host Fairfield
at 7:00 in a MAAC contest.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL FALLS TO CANISIUS, 66-59
BUFFALO, NY – The Manhattan College
women’s basketball team lost to Canisius 66-59 on Sunday afternoon. The Lady
Jaspers drop to 6-6, 1-2 MAAC, while Canisius improved to 6-6, 3-0 MAAC.
Manhattan ran out to a 7-0 lead
behind back-to back shots by Tiffany Schettig (Altoona, PA). Shauna Geronzin
hit one of two free throws to give Canisius its first point of the game at the
16:53 mark. Geronzin made a lay up seconds later to spark a 9-2 Canisius run
over the next three minutes. The Golden Griffins tied the game at 9-9 with just
over 13 minutes left to play in the first half.
The teams traded baskets until
two-free throws by Rosalee Mason (London, England) tied the game at 16-16 with
6:21 left to play before intermission. Junior Siobhan Kilkenny (Castlebar,
Ireland) stole the ball from the Griff’s Tricia Breznitsky immediately
following Mason’s second free throw and fed Christine Bach (Floral Park, NY) to
give Manhattan the three-point lead. Kilkenny grabbed a rebound and hit a fast
break lay up to secure a five-point lead for Manhattan at the break. Kilkenny
had nine rebounds and six points at halftime.
Canisius started the second period
with a 9-2 run and tied the game at 29-29 with 18:04 on the clock. There were
five ties over the next eight minutes and Manhattan took the lead again at the
10:48 mark, but Canisius answered back with a three-pointer just 14 seconds
later. Both teams made short runs, but the Griffs held a one point lead with
three minutes left to play and hit 2 of 4 free throws to ice the game.
Kilkenny finished with 14 points and
11 rebounds, marking her first collegiate double-double. Mason added 12 points
and 10 rebounds, while Elana Green (Brooklyn, NY) contributed 10 points and
eight rebounds in 21 minutes of play. Geronzin finished with a game-high 21
points for the Golden Griffins.
Manhattan returns to action on
Tuesday, when they travel to Niagara for a 7:00 PM game.

SOFTBALL SIGNS A PAIR OF RECRUITS
RIVERDALE, NY – Head Softball Coach
Sue Hannon announced that outfielder/catcher Christina Buyea (Monroe
Woodbury/Harriman, NY) and utility player Meg Jurkowski (St. Joseph's/Seymour
CT) have signed letters of intent to attend Manhattan College and play softball
in 2002-03.
A Second Team All-County selection
and Fourth-Team All-State pick, Buyea led Monroe Woodbury to the 2001 Section
IX Championship. An excellent student, she is a member of the National Honor
Society and was chosen as the New York State Scholar-Athlete. Buyea will be
receiving a Presidential Scholarship at Manhattan. "Tina comes from a
strong program at Monroe Woodbury and plays on one of the best summer teams
(Diamond Dolls) in Orange County,” says Hannon. “Her versatility will help us
tremendously as will her strong bat and quick speed."
Jurkowski is a product of St.
Joseph’s High School in Trumbull, CT and led her team to the FCIAC Conference
title. As a junior, she was named to the all-FCIAC first team, batting .470
with 26 RBI. She played outfield for her summer team, the prestigious
Connecticut Tradition, which finished second in the PONY National Tournament.
This summer she will catch and play outfield for the Xtreme Chaos. Like Buyea,
she is a member of the National Honor Society and will also be receiving a
Presidential Scholarship to Manhattan. Jurkowski also has sung the National
Anthem at Madison Square Garden numerous times, most recently before the Jasper
men’s basketball game against St. John’s on December 8. "Meg is also a
versatile player who will contribute mostly in the outfield and as a catcher,
but will also provide us depth at first base,” says Hannon. “She is a smart player
with a powerful bat and she already knows how to win."
"Both of these players will fill
the gap that will be left after this year's seniors graduate. In addition,
between the two of them, they can play almost anywhere on the field - virtually
giving us depth at every position. I am excited to have them both in a Jasper
uniform next year."
The Lady Jasper softball team kicks
off the 2002 season on Wednesday, March 6 at Army at 3:00.

Subject: Gonzalez to TCU?
Hi guys. A local radio commentator mentioned that your Bobby Gonzalez is "among those being considered" for the TCU position which becomes vacant at the end of this season. The mention of his name was a complete surprise to me, no clue where it came from. Any idea as to the basis of this rumor? Good luck Manhattan College as you start conference play. Your record is very impressive, saw you beat St. John's I guess that means you own the keys to the city.

Manhattan coach Bobby Gonzalez wanted one thing from his team last night.
"All I cared about was putting two halves together," Gonzalez said. "Playing 40 minutes of basketball."
Last night Manhattan could have gotten by with a lot less effort, as the Jaspers jumped on Niagara early and were never tested the rest of the way in overwhelming the Purple Eagles, 98-56, in a MAAC game at Draddy Gym. The win was the 11th in a row for the white-hot Jaspers (11-1) and kept them atop the MAAC standings with a 3-0 mark.
"The last couple of games (vs. Iona and Loyola) we were letting teams back in the game," Manhattan guard Mugsy Green said. "This time we never let up."
From the start the Jaspers seemed to be clicking. After Niagara (6-9, 2-2) tied the score at 14-14 with 13:29 to play, Manhattan unleashed Green, Luis Flores, David Holmes and the rest of the jacked-up Jaspers on the shell-shocked Purple Eagles. Manhattan strung together a 16-1 spurt to take a 30-15 lead with just over seven minutes left in the half.
Niagara, which was coming off an emotional road victory at Marist Saturday, never recovered.
The Jaspers converted 7-of-12 three-pointers and shot 58% from the floor while their staunch defense, led by Holmes (15 points, five rebounds, three steals), Green (21 points, eight rebounds, seven assists) and Noah Coughlin (eight points, seven boards) held Niagara to 31% shooting, caused 19 turnovers and held the Purple Eagles to just 23 second-half points.
On offense, the story, as always, was Flores and Green. Flores, the sophomore guard, scorched Niagara for 26 points, tying his season high, while Green had the Purple Eagles looking more like the Washington Generals.
"Mugsy Green was spectacular," Gonzalez said. "He's the general. When he plays like he did (last night) we are a tough team to beat."
Niagara coach Joe Mihalich couldn't help but like Flores' game, even if it was painful to watch for two hours.
"He's terrific, a natural," Mihalich said. "He's really hard to guard because he just makes shots. He's fun to watch if you don't have to play against him. We had no answers for him."
The Jaspers will look to extend their winning streak to 12 Thursday night when they play host to Fairfield.
"If we just stay focused and play hard every night, there's no telling what we can do," Green said.

It had already crowned itself the king of New York with its victories over St. John's, Hofstra and Iona to end 2001. So Manhattan was looking for new challenges to ring in the new year.
Last night, the Jaspers hoped to send a statement to the MAAC that they are, indeed, no early-season fluke. Unlike their two previous conference wins over St. Peter's and Loyola - considered the bottom-feeders of the conference - last night's game against Niagara was supposed to present a stiff test for Manhattan. And like all the others they've faced this season, the Jaspers simply aced it.
With Luis Flores scoring 26 points, Mugsy Green adding 21 and David Holmes 15, Manhattan pulled away early from the Purple Eagles and left Niagara black and blue in posting a 98-56 victory at Draddy Gym.
The win was the 11th straight for the Jaspers (11-1) and left them atop the MAAC with a 3-0 mark.
Manhattan put this one away early in the second half, which it began with a 9-0 run to turn a 16-point halftime lead into a 58-33 cushion. Niagara (6-9, 2-2) cut the Manhattan lead to a still-comfortable 19 at 60-41, but the Purple Eagles never got any closer as the Jaspers coasted the rest of the way.
Daryl Greene led Niagara with 17 points.
Niagara came into the game sky-high after toppling Marist on the road Saturday night, but it didn't take long before the Purple Eagles were wondering if it was worth making the trip to the Bronx on a snowy night.
After Niagara caught Manhattan for a 14-14 tie with 13:29 to play on a David Brooks three-pointer, the Jaspers tore off a 16-1 run to take a 30-15 lead with 7:38 left in the half.
Niagara managed to close to within 32-21 on a three-pointer by Greene with 6:49 left, but the Jaspers quickly responded with another surge to jack the lead up to 19 (40-21) with 4:42 to go in the half. It was Manhattan's biggest lead of the half.
Play got a little chippy late in the half when Niagara guard Alvin Cruz had words with Green, forcing the referee to step in. Minutes later, it was Flores and Niagara's James Reaves coming to shoves as both teams began what had the makings of a poor man's hockey fight. Flores (17 first-half points) and Reaves were flagged with fouls but no one was tossed as the Jaspers left the court with a 49-33 lead at the intermission.

Jack,
Sounds great. I went to #25 in 1992.
Only Gaffney and Skiver were there as well. Perhaps we should create a groundswell
and have some AAS subgrouping in the festivities. Where do you find out about
the reunion info; is there a website?
Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.
I haven't seen a jotting yet this year. I hope I haven't fallen off your list. If so, please reinstate me. If not I'll assume you are still suffering from holiday hangover. In any event thanks for all your efforts in this undertaking; it is much appreciated.

John,
I'm back in Ireland now after a few weeks home in US. I went to the Manhattan vs. Fordham game at the Garden with 8 other Jaspers (classes of 1986 & 87). Great night out, although the atmosphere would have been better in the Bronx in a smaller arena.
It was great to see the reaction to my Irish Voice article in the Jottings of 12-28 - particularly from Jasper Don McLeod, who listens to Galway Bay FM. In the article I mentioned that I had heard that people in the west were more sympathetic to the US in the War on Terror, but I haven't been west myself yet, which is why I was so interested in Mr. McLeod's comments.
Happy new year to you and your family.
Regards,
John Fay '86

"A deeper question underlies Americans' lack of real domestic preparedness. Is the citizenry, in the eyes of government, an asset in the post-9-11 world, as it was in past national crises? Or is it more akin to a commodity to be managed, much as one would manage a herd of anthrax-exposed cattle? Thus far, the managers are winning this debate."
David Hardy and Michael McNulty raise an interesting condemnation of our government. Just like Tom Sowell eloquently pointed out in "Vision of the Anointed", the government thinks it has all the answers and even when it doesn't it thinks it is the only game in town. The worst thing that we can do is rely on our government to do our thinking for us. Hollywood disaster movies have done a better job of preparing us for "civil defense" than out government has. Ever since seeing the movie "Towering Inferno", I have had a radio, flashlight, and a bottle of water in my "Get Out Of Dodge" bag in my desk. Haven't had to use it yet, but it's there. When I watched the TV movie about the marine and his bride trapped in their car in a blizzard, I equipped each one of my cars with a "survival pack" and used one during a breakdown. And, when anticipating Y2K, I watched several movies with scenes of how order breaks down. So maybe the "central planners" of the People's Republic of America are right and citizens can't be trusted with information. But, if smallpox vaccine was available, then I would urge people to take it. Not so much that I fear an epidemic, but it removes one weapon form the terrorist arsenal. You see just as with conceal carry laws, the criminal doesn't know who is "packing". Similarly, our government should be made to trust it citizens. The only way that can happen if we cut its funds. If it didn't have an "extra" 20B$ sitting around, then maybe they would "plan" differently. I, for one, would feel a lot better if they didn't try to "plan" for me.
And that’s the last word.Obit5
