This stuff just frosts me. Not only does MC have to compete in the marketplace for students against the state in the form of SUNY, but evidently NASA determines or uses a racial designation against MC. No wonder NASA, the government, and we are in deep doo doo when race is considered. There are probably only two places where skin color and ethnic background is not a factor basketball, football, and other sports.
I think that MC should not play that game! Maybe I’ll suggest that. They should exercise better control over the use of their, and our, name?

ALL BOILER PLATE is at the end.
Here comes the news after this comment.
"Every legislator, every doctor, and every citizen
needs to recognize that the real issue is whether to affirm and protect the
sanctity of all human life, or to embrace a social ethic where some human lives
are valued and others are not. As a nation, we must choose between the sanctity
of life ethic and the 'quality of life' ethic."
Ronald Regan
I've listened to many of the arguments, and no matter where one stands on this issue, one has to agree that this has been the moral issue of our generation. The divisiveness of this issue has ripped civil discourse into name calling, labeling, and media sound bites.
On considering all about Dr. Martin Luther King, I think he earned his place with the line about "all the children" and character versus color.
Unfortunately, as Pat Buchannan has pointed out, abortion has killed us. We no longer reproduce enough to replace us.
The dead old white guys hit it on the head when they said "all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". This is as close to a statement of natural law as the law of gravity.
I, for one, will try to do a little better this week in walking in the footsteps of these great men and focus on the ideal as opposed to the faults we all have.
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

His Jokes Masked a Passion for His
Job
By Steven Kreytak STAFF WRITER
January 22, 2002
Michael J. Lyons was always a funny
guy who could win people over with his personality.
His wife remembers how in high school
Lyons was always playing jokes at his job in a delicatessen in Yonkers. Lyons
would sometimes glue a quarter to the floor and watch customers struggle to
pick it up, or fill co-worker's shoes with corned beef fat, Elaine Lyons said.
That was 1985. The two started dating
a year later and were married in 1997.
Joe Beltrani remembers when he first
met Lyons about two years ago. Lyons, a New York City firefighter, wanted to
gain a transfer to work in Squad 41 in the Bronx, where Beltrani worked.
"He would always call the
firehouse and say, 'Hey, bro,' to whoever answered," Beltrani said.
The problem with that approach was a
"hard as nails" lieutenant who didn't like being called
"bro," Beltrani said. But Lyons' passion and genuine kindness won the
tough lieutenant over. He continued calling him 'bro' and was accepted to join
the elite firehouse.
At the firehouse, Lyons was "a
clown, a character, always had a joke," Beltrani said. "Mike was just
so full of emotion."
Squad 41 responded to the burning
Twin Towers on Sept. 11. Lyons, who was 32 and lived in upstate Hawthorne, was
killed. His body has not been recovered.
On Nov. 2, Lyon's wife gave birth to
the couple's second daughter and named her Mary Michael. Lyons' first daughter,
Caitlyn, is 18 months old.
"He was a great father, a
wonderful father," his wife said.
Despite Lyons' hectic work schedule -
holding two jobs was the norm - he would come home from work and play with,
change and feed his daughter. "I was very lucky," his wife said.
Raised in Yonkers as one of four
brothers in a proud Irish-American family, Lyons graduated from Mount St.
Michael Academy in the Bronx in 1987 and Manhattan College in 1994 with a
degree in mechanical engineering.
Lyons took the firefighters' exam out
of high school because "he always wanted to be a fireman, "his wife
said. While waiting to be called by the department, Lyons held several jobs,
including inspecting buildings for the fire department and selling hot dogs
from a truck.
Lyons' first job was with Engine Co.
44 on the Upper East Side. He worked there for 5 1/2 years before switching to
Squad 41.
More recently, Lyons worked part-
time as an engineer in his time off from the department and managed to buy a
small house in Hawthorne - where his wife grew up - in September 2000. He
joined the volunteer fire department there and would often rush out to answer
an alarm late at night. "He always said 'I'll be back in five
minutes,'" his wife said.
Before last summer, Lyons quit the
engineering job to spend more time with his wife and daughter. But he didn't
stop working - he drove an ice cream truck.
He was always the adult at family
gatherings who would end up spending hours with the children, and the job
suited him perfectly.
"He'd tell me he'd love to see
the kids' faces when they came to the truck," his wife said. "He was
a big kid himself."

JASPERS DROP 75-70 DECISION AT IONA
NEW ROCHELLE, NY – All five Iona
starters scored in double figures as the Iona Gaels downed the visiting
Manhattan Jaspers 75-70 in a MAAC game at the Mulcahy Center.
The loss drops the Jaspers to 14-4
overall and 6-3 in the MAAC, while the Gaels improve to 9-12 and 6-4 in the
MAAC. Manhattan now sits in a four-way tie for first place in the MAAC with
Siena, Marist and Rider.
Iona took control from the opening
tip, racing to a 13-3 lead in the first three and a half minutes. Jared Johnson
(Bronx, NY) converted a three-point play and Von Damien Green (Washington, DC)
hit a three-pointer to pull Manhattan back to within four, but the Jaspers
would get no closer and trailed by 10 at the break (35-25). The Jaspers shot
just 25.0 % from the floor in the first period and were outrebounded by 12.
The Gaels led by as many as 13 in the
second half before the Jaspers inched back into it. Manhattan went on a 7-1 run
to cut the deficit to seven (47-40) on five points by Green. The Jaspers got as
close as six on a pair of free throws by Jason Benton (New Haven, CT) to pull
to within 48-42 at the 10:54 mark. The two teams traded baskets over the next
several minutes as Manhattan was unable to make a significant dent into the
Iona lead and the Gaels pushed the lead back to double figures with under three
minutes to go. Manhattan had its chances down the stretch but the Gaels held on
for the victory.
Sophomore Luis Flores (New York, NY)
led the Jaspers with 16 points on 7-16 from the floor. Green tied his
career-high with four three-pointers and finished with 15 points while playing
all 40 minutes. Freshman Charus Moore (Boston, MA) came off the bench to score
a career-high 11 points in 14 minutes of action.
Manhattan returns to action on
Wednesday, January 30 when they host St. Peter’s at 7:00.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL BEATS NIAGARA 78-65
Rosalee Mason Paces Manhattan with 24 Points and Career-High 18 Rebounds
RIVERDALE, NY – Rosalee Mason
(London, England) scored 24 points and pulled down a career-high 18 rebounds to
lead the Manhattan College women’s basketball team to a 78-65 win over Niagara
University in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game on Friday evening.
With the win Manhattan improved to
11-7, 6-3 MAAC, while Niagara fell to 3-15, 1-8 MAAC.
The game was tight for the first 13
minutes, with neither team holding more than a four-point lead for long. Manhattan took the lead (20-19) at the 7:50
mark and went on a 6-0 run to take the seven-point lead. Mason dominated the
boards in the final minutes of the half and Manhattan went to the locker room
with a 33-23 advantage. Mason totaled
14 points and eight rebounds at the break.
Manhattan opened the second half on a
10-0 run and went up by 20 points and the Purple Eagles never got within 12
points again.
Manhattan forced 17 Niagara turnovers
and picked off 11 steals. The Lady
Jaspers shot 45 percent from the floor for the game, while Niagara shot 39
percent.
Mason led all scorers with 24 points
and 18 rebounds for her 15th double-double of the season. Tiffany Schettig (Altoona, PA) scored 14
points and Donnette “Shorty” Reed (Syracuse, NY) scored 14 points to round out
Manhattan’s double-digit scoring effort.
Jessica Kemp paced Niagara with 16 points.
Manhattan returns to action on
Sunday, January 27th, for a 2:00 PM match up with Canisius.

MEN’S BASKETBALL DEFEATS MARIST 67-62
Jaspers Avenge Earlier Loss to Red Foxes to Re-Take First Place in MAAC
RIVERDALE, NY – The Manhattan College
men’s basketball team got double-digit scoring efforts from three different
players to defeat Marist College 67-62 in a crucial Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference game on Tuesday evening.
With the win Manhattan improves to 14-3, 6-2 MAAC, while Marist dropped
to 12-6, 6-3 MAAC.
With 14 wins on the season, Manhattan
equaled its win total from a year ago. The win was only the second for the
Jaspers over Marist in the last nine meetings.
Manhattan jumped out to a 12-point
lead early in the first half on a 16-4 run in which five different Jaspers
scored. Manhattan maintained at least a
six-point lead the entire first period and led by as many 11 late in the half,
but a last second three-pointer by Nick Eppehimer cut the Jaspers’ lead to
eight at the break (35-27).
Marist stormed out of the locker room
and started the second half with a 12-3 run to take the lead (39-38) at the
15:40 mark. Two ties and four lead
changes later, Manhattan was down seven with just over seven minutes remaining
in the half. The Jaspers tied the game
(56-56) on a pair of free throws by Luis Flores (New York, NY) at 5:52. Manhattan went on a 6-0 run and capped off
the six-point lead with a dunk by Jason Benton (New Haven, CT) off an assist by
Von Damien “Mugsy” Green (New York, NY) with 2:28 remaining in the half. The Red Foxes wouldn’t go away and tied the
game at 62-62 on back-to-back shots by Eppehimer with just 44 seconds on the
clock.
Manhattan took a 30-second time-out
to set up the go-ahead basket. Flores
was fouled by David Bennett and made both free throws to give Manhattan a
two-point lead with 29 seconds left in the game. Flores then stole the ball on the inbounds and was fouled with 11
seconds on the clock. Making
one-of-two, Flores gave Manhattan a three-point lead with less than 11 ticks
left in the half. Marist called a
time-out to set-up a play and Sean Kennedy missed a three-pointer on the
ensuing possession. Manhattan’s Dave
Holmes (Washington, D.C.) grabbed the rebound and hit two free throws to ice
the game for the Jaspers. Junior Justin Jackette (Valhalla, NY) and senior Willie
Haynes (Rochester, NY) returned to the Jasper lineup for the first time in six
games, each connecting on one field goal.
Manhattan returns to action on
Friday, January 25 when they travel to Iona for a 7:30 PM conference match-up.

Athletic Conference match-up on Tuesday night at Draddy Gym. The win avenges a 61-57 loss to the Red
Foxes earlier this season and improves the Lady Jaspers to 5-3 in the MAAC,
good for a third place conference standing.
Manhattan (10-7, 5-3 MAAC) and Marist
(9-9, 5-4 MAAC) jumped out trading baskets for six lead changes and four ties
in the first ten minutes of the game.
Marist led by as many as eight until back-to-back baskets by Donnette
Reed (Syracuse, NY) and Christine Bach (Floral Park, NY) sparked a 10-4 run and
the game was tied (31-31) for the fifth time of the half at the 3:34 mark. With the Red Foxes up by one point (36-37)
Reed drove the lane with four seconds left to play and hit a lay-up to give the
Lady J’s a one-point, 38-37 lead at the half.
The second period started much like
the first, with three ties and five lead changes in the first four minutes of
play. Reed hit a lay-up with 15:09 on
the clock to give the Lady Jaspers the lead (48-47) for good. Although Marist would make a small run at
the ten-minute mark, Rosalee Mason (London, England) hit three consecutive free
throws to ensure Manhattan would not trail again.
Mason paced Manhattan with a
career-high 30 points and added nine rebounds, an assist and a steal. Reed finished just short of a career-high
coming off the bench for 18 points, three rebounds and a career-high four
steals. Tiffany Schettig (Altoona, PA)
rounded out the double-digit scoring effort with 11 points. Schettig led the
team in assists with three and did not commit a turnover.
Sarah Tift led the Red Foxes with 17
points and ten rebounds.
Manhattan returns to action this
Friday when they face Niagara for a 7:00 PM game at Draddy Gym.

JOHNSON’S THREE-POINTER LIFTS RIDER TO 72-68 WIN OVER JASPERS
Rider Ends Jaspers’ 10-Game Home Winning Streak
RIVERDALE, NY – Guard Jerry Johnson
buried a three-pointer with seven seconds left on the clock to lift the
visiting Rider Broncs to a 72-68 victory over the Manhattan Jaspers Saturday
evening in a MAAC Conference game in Draddy Gym.
The loss drops the Jaspers to 13-3
overall and 5-2 in the MAAC, while Rider improved to 9-8 and 5-3 in the MAAC.
The loss put an end to the Jaspers’ 10-game winning streak in Draddy Gym,
dating back to last season.
The first half saw five ties and five
lead changes before the Jaspers pulled away, outscoring the Broncs 12-3 over a
span of six minutes. Five different Jaspers contributed to the run, which gave
Manhattan a 36-27 advantage. Laurence Young hit a three-pointer in the closing
seconds as the Jaspers took a 36-30 lead into the lockerroom.
The Jaspers led by as many as eight
(55-47) in the second half, until Rider’s Mario Porter, who leads the
conference in scoring, hit a three-pointer to cut the deficit to five with
10:39 remaining. On the Jaspers next possession, there was a tie-up under the basket,
and sophomore Dave Holmes (Washington, DC) was whistled for a foul, his fourth.
Holmes was then assessed with a technical foul, his fifth, and was thereby
disqualified. Despite Jerry Johnson missing the two free throws from the
technical foul, the Broncs got the ball back and Robert Taylor went strong to
the hoop and was fouled by Von Damien “Mugsy” Green (New York, NY). Taylor hit
the ensuing free throw to cut the deficit to just two (55-53) with 10:03
remaining.
The two teams traded baskets but Manhattan
was able to maintain the lead, until Porter picked off a steal and went in for
the dunk and was fouled in the process. Porter completed the three-point play
to give the Broncs their first lead of the half (60-59) at the 6:59 mark. The
game was then delayed for close to 20 minutes, as the Manhattan maintenance
staff attempted to repair the damaged rim after Porter’s dunk.
The lead would change hands eight
more times in the final six minutes. After a pair of free throws by sophomore
Luis Flores (New York, NY) gave the Jaspers a 66-65 lead at the 2:14 mark,
Johnson’s shot at the other end was blocked by Jason Benton (New Haven, CT),
who got the ball to Flores in the open court. Flores tried get a good shot but
was forced to put up an off-balance jumper in traffic, which was partially
blocked by Brandon Wahlmann. Wahlmann came down with the rebound and was fouled
by Flores. Manhattan took a timeout with 1:17 left on the clock to try to ice
the shooter. Wahlmann however hit both free throws to regain the lead for
Rider.
On the Jaspers’ next possession,
Green, who had hit a career-high four three-pointers already in the game,
launched a shot from the top of the key that was off the mark, and the rebound
went to Rider’s Rich Baker. Rider then called timeout with 53.9 seconds left.
On the ensuing inbounds play, Flores narrowly picked it off, but it remained
Rider ball. Baker was then called for a five-second violation, giving the
Jaspers life. Manhattan spent its final timeout to try and set up the go-ahead
basket. Jared Johnson (Bronx, NY) inbounded the ball to Green whose jumper was
short, but Benton was there for the offensive board. Benton got it back to
Green who drove the lane and got an acrobatic layup to go with 21 ticks left,
giving Manhattan a 68-67 lead. Rider then spent its final timeout. Young
inbounded the ball to Baker, who found Johnson open on the left side. Johnson
buried the three-pointer with just seven seconds left on the clock. Without any
timeouts, the Jaspers had one last chance to pull it out, but Green had the
ball stripped by Johnson, who converted the fast-break layup to end the game.
Green led the Jaspers with 17 points
including a career-high four three-pointers while playing all 40 minutes.
Senior Noah Coughlin (Middleboro, MA) contributed 12 points and Flores chipped
in 11. Porter led all scorers with 21 points and seven rebounds. The Jaspers
are back in action on Tuesday, January 22 when they host first-place Marist in
the second game of a double header at 7:00 in Draddy Gym.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL FALLS TO ST. PETER’S 71-57
Rosalee Mason Paces Manhattan with 21 Points
JERSEY CITY, NJ – The Manhattan
College women’s basketball team lost to St. Peter’s College 71-57 in a Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference match-up Friday evening.
Manhattan (9-4, 4-3 MAAC) led 20-18
early in the first half when two consecutive baskets by Tayiana Sears sparked a
21-6 St. Peter’s (13-3, 6-1 MAAC) run over the final eight minutes of the
period. The Peahens went into the
locker room with a 41-26 lead.
St. Peter’s led by as many as 22
points in the second half, but Manhattan made a solid 12-2 run at the 10 minute
mark to get back in the game. Sears
broke the Peahens’ scoring drought with a jumper at the 5:04 mark. Both team see-sawed for the next two minutes
and Manhattan was down eight with 1:51 left to play on a jumper by Rosalee
Mason (London, England).
Neither team could score until
Manhattan was forced to foul with 27 on the clock. St. Peter’s went 6-of-6 from the line in the final 27 seconds to
ice the game.
Mason finished with a game-high 21
points and added five rebounds. Siobhan
Kilkenny (Castlebar, Ireland) and Eve Walters (Pittsford, NY) each added nine
points for Manhattan.
Sears finished with 12 points for the
Peahens, while Tanesha Seaton led the team with 19 points and ten boards.
Manhattan returns to action on
Tuesday, January 22, when they face Marist at Draddy Gym at 5:00 PM for the
first half of a men’s and women’s basketball double-header.

JASPERS REGAIN TOP SPOT IN MAAC WITH 69-64 WIN OVER SIENA
Holmes Posts Fourth Double-Double of Season
ALBANY, NY – Sophomore Dave Holmes
(Washington, DC) recorded his fourth double-double of the season with 18 points
and 17 rebounds as the Manhattan Jaspers topped the Siena Saints 69-64 in a
Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game at the Pepsi Arena.
The Jaspers improved to 13-2 overall
and 5-1 in the MAAC while the Saints dropped to 8-11 and 5-2 in the league.
Manhattan moves back into first place with the victory and sits atop the league
standings with a 5-1 record in conference play.
Manhattan trailed for most of the
first half until a pair of free throws by sophomore Luis Flores (New York, NY)
tied it up at 23-23 with 5:47 remaining. The Jaspers took their first lead of
the game on two more free throws by junior Darnell Tyler (Long Branch, NJ),
making it 27-25 with just over three minutes to go in the half. Siena rallied
to tie it on two occasions and a layup by Austin Andrews in the final minute
sent the Jaspers into the lockerroom clinging to a slim 33-32 lead. Tyler paced
the Jaspers in the first half with 14 points, hitting six of seven shots from
the floor.
Manhattan opened the second half on a
17-6 run to take a double-figure lead, 50-38, at the 12:19 mark. The Jaspers
kept the lead in their favor for the remainder of the game for their second
regular season road win in as many years over Siena at the Pepsi Arena.
Holmes tallied two season-highs with
18 points and 17 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season. Holmes,
who played a career-high 39 minutes, hit eight of 10 shots from the foul line
in the second half to keep Siena at bay. Flores scored in double figures for
the 15th game in a row with 18 points including a perfect 8-8 from the line.
Senior Von Damien “Mugsy” Green (New York, NY) finished with 12 points and
seven assists while playing all 40 minutes. Manhattan outrebounded the Saints
45-31 and picked up assists on 15 of its 20 buckets. Forward Dwayne Archbold
paced the Saints with 16 points including four three-pointers.
The Jaspers return to action on
Saturday, January 19 when they host Rider in Draddy Gym at 4:00 PM.

RECORDS CONTINUE TO BE BROKEN AT MANHATTAN
Freeman Throws New School Record
RIVERDALE, NY – Junior Jacob Freeman
(Providence, RI) threw a new school record in the weight throw of 22.40m
(73’6”) today at the St. John’s/Fordham Weight Invitational held in Draddy
Gymnasium. Freeman's record was also
the farthest throw ever by an American from any IC4A school; however, overall
it was the second farthest throw from an IC4A school athlete.
This is also the second time this
season, Freeman has passed his own record. In December, he threw 21.42m at the
Princeton Invitational that posted his number one standings in the World and in
the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Also in the men's weight throw,
junior Chuck Harklerode (Clinton Corners, NY) placed third with a mark of
15.42m.
In the women's weight throw, junior
Lauren Primerano (Trenton, NJ) placed third with a mark of 13.08m and freshman
Karen Conway (Dublin, Ireland) placed fourth with a mark of 11.49m.
The Jaspers will continue competing
tomorrow, January 18th at the Armory for the St. John’s/Fordham Invitational.

HEADLINE: HIGH SCHOOL NOTEBOOK;
Riverside Is Nelson's 2nd Shot
BYLINE: Arthur V; Claps and Sylvia E; King-Cohen
Former Christ the King standout and
Newsday second team All-Queens player Kelvin "Peedy" Nelson has
returned to the basketball court sooner than expected. The flashy point guard,
who was expelled from the school Jan. 4, recently joined Riverside Church's AAU
winter team for fifth-year seniors.
Nelson, who played his first game
against St. Thomas More (Conn.) on Jan. 12, is the starting point guard on the
star-studded squad that includes highly touted forward Lenny Cooke and former
Bishop Loughlin sharpshooter Teddy Mumford. The club, coached by program
director Ernie Lorch, typically plays against top prep schools and the strong
JV college teams such as North Carolina and West Point. The program, which runs
from October through April, caters to basketball players who have had academic
problems. "This program will continue to allow Peedy a chance to show
recruiters what he has to offer as a basketball player," said Riverside
coach Kenny Pretlow, who has known Nelson since he joined the AAU summer
program when he was 9 years old. "It's unfortunate what happened to him,
but he's not a bad person. He just made a few bad choices. I don't think it
will hurt his opportunity to go to college."
Several sources close to Christ the
King confirmed that the 17-year-old Nelson, who was already on probation for
other school violations, allegedly stole another student's cell phone and gave
it to a friend in late December. The theft victim eventually spotted Nelson's
friend with the stolen cell phone and reported him to school officials. No
charges were filed.
"The situation was such that it
was beneficial that Mr. Nelson leave," said principal Michael Lynch, who
preferred to keep the details of the expulsion private. "We tried our best
to solve the problem without making drastic measures. But we were left with no
choice. We hate to see any of our students leave. It's unfortunate this had
happened."
CK coach Bob Oliva wouldn't comment
directly on the matter other than to say that "it hurts. But it's not like
we lost Omar Cook. We'll bounce back from it."
Nelson, a senior, who averaged 17
points in three games with the Royals this season and is considered one of the
better players in the area, has moved from his mother's home in Williamsburg to
his father's place in Newark.
Pretlow said that Nelson plans to
transfer to a public school in New Jersey, either Malcolm X Shabazz or East
Side High, both in Newark.
"The best thing for him to do
right now is concentrate on school," Pretlow said of Nelson, who may have
lost an opportunity to play for Manhattan College because of the expulsion.
"He needs to put this whole thing behind him, whatever it was. He needs to
prove to the schools that were recruiting him that he's still a good player and
a good person."

HEADLINE: COLLEGE NOTES - Track star reached the top accidentally
BYLINE: Mike Szostak
Jacob Freeman had no intention of
going out for track when he went to Hendricken in 1995. He was a football
player.
But after his freshman season,
Freeman got the word from his coach, Mike Quigley, that he was going to throw
the weight for the indoor track team. Quigley was the throw coach for the Hawks
and recognized potential in the big kid from East Greenwich.
"I fell in love with it right
away," Freeman said last week. A junior at Manhattan College in New York
City now, Freeman still loves heaving heavy objects like the 35-pound weight and the hammer as far as he can. And he is very good at it.
Freeman holds four of the top eight
35-pound weight throws in the world this indoor season, according to the
International Amateur Athletics Federation. He was No. 1 in the world from Dec.
7, when he broke the Manhattan record with a heave of 21.42 meters (70 feet, 3
inches) at the Princeton Invitational, to Jan. 11, when Canadian Scott Russell
of the University of Kansas threw it 23.71 meters (77 feet, 9 inches) in
Columbia, Mo.
"It was fun to say it. It was
nice. It's something to look back on when I'm older," the 21-year-old
said.
Freeman beat his own record with a
throw of 22.40 meters (73 feet, 6 inches) last Thursday at the St.
John's/Fordham Weight Invitational, giving him the second- and third-longest
throws in the world this winter. He also has the sixth-longest, 20.98 meters at
the Manhattan Pentathlon/Throw Invitational Dec. 1, and the eighth-longest,
20.71 at the Fordham Invitational Dec. 14. His throw of 20.31 meters at the
Manhattan Invitational Jan. 11 is 11th in the world.
Freeman's 22.40 is the longest throw
by an American from an IC4A school. He has won the five events he has entered
this season.
Freeman wants to finish in the top
three at the NCAA meet this season. He was sixth last year and eighth as a
freshman. Outdoors, he wants to rank in the top six in the hammer. He was
seventh at the NCAA meet last spring and 12th as a freshman. He is a two-time
All-America in each event.
Freeman also has his eye on the 2004
Olympics in Athens.
"I would very much like to do
that, and I'm right on track," he said.
Freeman is 6-5 and weighs 330 pounds.
He is pursuing a double major in finance and computer-information systems.
"It's not that hard. I'm taking a lot of math courses, and I'm pretty good
with math," he said.
Freeman played football for four
years at Hendricken and has missed the game in college. "If they had
football here, I'd probably try it," he said.
But there's no doubt where his No. 1
priority is. Freeman said: "I love track."
Freeman isn't the only former Hawk
competing for the Jaspers this winter. Dan Gazzola is a weight man, Tom Goodwin
a distance runner and Adeniyi Omisore a sprinter and triple jumper.

HEADLINE: PECK PICKS UP PARADE DUTIES
BYLINE: By DENNIS KAISER , The Dana Point News
QGet ready to march.
After waffling for the last month,
the Festival of Whales committee this week announced that it would bring back
its parade. The decision depended on whether the committee could find someone
to head up the event. It found that person in the Rev. Paul Peck, president of
the Lantern Village Association.
''I'm taking on the job because I am
interested in doing something for the city that is needed and positive,'' Peck
said. ''The LVA is in a slower mode this year, and doing other refreshing
things is just right for me.'' Peck has signed up about 15 groups to be in the
parade, and the list is growing by the day.
Peck was asked to run the parade by
Lara Anderson and Donna Kazlez, co-chairwomen of the festival committee.
Anderson is also the LVA vice president.
''I've worked with Paul and witnessed
firsthand his passion and tenacity when he gets a hold of something that really
interests him,'' Anderson said.
The parade had always kicked off the
festival that celebrates the winter migration of the California gray whales
from their Arctic feeding grounds to the lagoons of Baja California, where the
females give birth to their calves.
However, when Caltrans realized two
years ago that the parade crossed Del Prado and Pacific Coast Highway within
its jurisdiction, it said the committee had to come up with an additional $5
million in liability coverage. That was on top of the $1 million in coverage
the parade already had for the city of Dana Point.
The committee decided to nix the
parade, but festival-goers and the committee's leadership felt that without the
parade, it seemed like something important was missing.
This year the committee decided to
change the parade route so that it avoids Caltrans streets and the need for
extra insurance. Committee members hope that by next year the city of Dana
Point will take over jurisdiction of the streets in the area for its Town
Center beautification project.
''I truly think that the festival
could get along without the parade, as it has had to do for the past two or so
years,'' Peck said. ''However, the parade is going to give the festival the
shot in the arm from the get-go that it needs to be successful. This is why I
am being totally inclusive of Dana Point organizations that have never been
involved in the parade.''
Peck said he's loved parades since
1936, the year of the earliest parade he can remember.
''It was in New Haven, Connecticut,''
Peck said. ''Franklin Delanor Roosevelt came to town on a campaign tour. He
rode in an open sedan, and waved that familiar old campaign fedora that was
part of his persona. The Connecticut Mounted Governor's Guard led off the
parade. It was awesome! I was 8 years of age at the time.''
This year's Festival of Whales Parade
will start at 10 a.m. March 9. The route is as follows: from Dana Hills High
School down Street of the Golden Lantern to the Street Faire in Dana Point
Plaza.
Anderson cautioned, however, that the
permit to use Golden Lantern is still pending.
''Although, if Laguna Niguel can
block off Crown Valley Parkway, a major thoroughfare, for its Holiday Parade,
closing Golden Lantern to traffic for an hour or two should be feasible,'' she
said.
The Dana Point community has warmly
accepted the parade in the past, possibly due to its simplicity.
''It is like going back to a simpler
time and I think people really want things like that, especially at this
time,'' said Sue Walshe, president of the Dana Point Animal Rescue Foundation,
the group that puts on the Wag-A-Thon at the end of the Festival of Whales.
Peck is a former East Coast resident
who has kept active since coming to Dana Point in search of a better climate
after heart-bypass surgery.
Peck said he is the author of a
seven-book series entitled, ''Freeways to Divine Awareness,'' which includes
''Footsteps Along the Path,'' ''Inherit the Kingdom,'' ''Milestones of the
Way,'' ''Freeway to Health,'' ''Freeway to Work and Wealth,'' ''Freeway to
Love'' and ''Freeway to Personal Growth.'' These were privately printed in
small editions and now are being readied for a trade publisher.
He has just completed the manuscripts
of ''Your Dreams Count'' and ''Worth the Room,'' an autobiography.
Peck said he is listed in the
1992-2001 editions of Marquis' ''Who's Who in the West,'' ''Who's Who in
Religion,'' ''Who's Who in America'' and ''Who's Who in the World.''
Peck's family consists of children
and grandchildren living in Delaware, New Jersey and California, and a son
living with him in Dana Point, where he continues to write and to teach
autobiography workshops, and where he serves on the Board of Directors of the
Lantern Village Association.
Peck spent many years practicing
family counseling, conducting interdenominational services from coast to coast,
lecturing and writing. He was the founder and pastor of Arete' Truth Center, an
interdenominational church.
Before entering the ministry
full-time, Peck served as a vice president of Syracuse University, Fairleigh
Dickinson University and Manhattan College (in the Bronx) over a period of 15
years.
Peck was knighted by the
international charitable Order of Sts. John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta for
his many years of service to youth
''I've jumped right in and I'm
enjoying every minute of it,'' Peck said of the festival parade position.

records of this distinguished American Admiral are chronicled here. I believe
the museum is in the original hotel. Fredericksburg is located a short distance
west of Austin, Texas.
Other historical sites in the Mid-West are President Harry Truman,
Independence, Missouri and General Dwight Eisenhower, Abilene, Kansas.
Best wishes,

John:
First of all, thank you for putting
my Letter Appeal for the New York City Firemen's Children up on your Manhattan
College site.
Secondly, I'm Prep '59. I was in the
middle of compiling my grammar school alumni list - Class of '55 - and
inadvertently got my signals crossed.
Now, for the movie - it's "A
Beautiful Mind."
It stars Russell Crowe and is based
upon the true story of John Nash, a Noble Prize winning mathematician and
schizophrenic from Princeton. It was shot there and at Harvard and MIT; except for
some very dramatic scenes at the Quadrangle outside the old Prep!
I saw it with my wife and she thought
I was hallucinating so we waited for the credits and there was no mention of
Manhattan College ... just Harvard, MIT and Princeton.
But I knew what I saw. That night I
jogged at Draddy and went over to the security booth; asking the guard whether
a movie had been shot at Manhattan recently. Without a moment's hesitation, he
said, "A Beautiful Mind was shot here just before the summer. I want to
see it this weekend."
As Rodney Dangerfield might say,
"Manhattan gets no respect." So who says you can never go home?
Regards ... Bob Abate
[JR: Bob, Thanks much. It seems that
at least one other person recognized the place even though we didn’t get
credit. You have to make your own respect and you can’t go back. When you do go
home, you’ll find that both it and you have changed. :-( ]

Dear Mr. Reinke,
I am a recent Manhattan grad (2000)
who was recently laid off and was told by Manhattan College Career Services that
you are the person to get in touch with.
If you can be of any assistance
please contact me at one of the numbers enclosed or respond via email. I will
also be attaching my resume in case you know of anyone who is interested. Thank
you for you time.
Sincerely, James Gannon

Subject: Dennis Moroney Memorial Golf Outing & Dinner
From: The Cavanaughs
Hi. I was hoping you could include
the following announcement in the Jasper Jottings. My husband Jim, along with
several of Dennis Moroney's (1984) other friends, are planning a Golf Outing
and Dinner in his memory. All of the details are included below. You can
include my e-mail address so that anyone who is interested in attending can
e-mail me their mailing address. I will get an invitation out to them ASAP.
Response cards are due back to me by March 1st.
I'm not sure whether it's OK to ask
this here (so if it isn't just delete this part) but we are also looking for
donations of prizes for the golf and for raffles, so if anyone has any
connections and can get something donated, please e-mail me.
We are hoping for a good turn out so
that this will be a special day for his wife Nancy (DeAngelis '84) and the
children. Thanks again for your help.
===
The Dennis Moroney Memorial Golf
Outing & Dinner will be held on Monday, April 8, 2002, at Lake Isle Country
Club in Eastchester.
The day will include:
- lunch, golf, cocktails and dinner
($150 per person) for the golfers.
- Those of us who don't golf can simply
attend the dinner ($75 per person).
- There is also a children's dinner
($25 per person).
If you are interested in attending,
please e-mail me your mailing address and I will drop an invitation and
response card in the mail to you. If you can think of anyone else who might be
interested in attending please e-mail me their name and mailing address too.
Thanks,
Karen Cavanaugh
[JR: As asked. Because I put this on
the public internet, I will forward to prevent your email address from being
spammed to death. ]

“Education, you see, in the eyes of
the educational establishment, is not about reading, writing and arithmetic, as
so many misguided parents believe, but about directing the development of
children into the kind of adults the establishment and its supporters want them
to become.”
I think this fellow hit one of my two
hot points with the current education system. (The other is high cost!) And he
expressed it so much better than I could. Now, I don’t have kids, but if I did,
I wouldn’t want these beautiful potentials turned into insensitive Stepford
people. If a factory produced so many defective “products” the marketplace
would put them out of business.
Imagine! A restaurant and having only
one choice, in a nation of with only that one restaurant chain. A shoe store
with only one size, in a nation of with only that one shoe store chain. A car
dealer with one model, in a nation with only that car dealer chain.
Not only does our current straight-jacket
education system insure that the “outliers” (i.e., the very smart and the very
not-smart who definitely have other talents we need to develop) are not served,
but it deprives us of the ability to organize ourselves outside of “government
control”.
I think of all the education that
goes on in the private sector in my niche of Information Systems. For a price,
I can learn any of the new technologies, pretty much at will, in a variety of
ways, in a variety of cost levels. All without the government.
We currently have no choices in
children’s education and so we have no freedom!
And, that’s my final words for this
week.
