Help for Ukraine's street kids, from two US women
By Arie Farnam | Special to The Christian Science Monitor
<begin quote>
KIEV, UKRAINE – In the narrow space around the pipes in a Kiev sewer, 15 ragged children sleep huddled together for warmth. They range from 9-year-old Artyom Selivanov, the tough ringleader, to 16-year-old Natasha Dzuley, who crouches in a corner, clutching a small cloth doll.
"Wake up!" Artyom's brother Denis calls from the street above. "The aunties are here, and they brought food." Slowly, the children roll out, coughing from the stench of sewage and sweat and the glue they sniff to keep their hunger at bay.
Denis's "aunties" are American missionaries Jane Hyatt and Barbara Klaiber, who have devoted the past four years to a lonely struggle to feed Kiev's unwanted youth.
<end quote>
This just rips the heart strings, that any child could be
so mistreated by the society that produced them. Strong families, in a strong free
society should not let these things happen. It makes you wonder how this
happens. My trip to London showed me the difference here and there. And, how
much better we could be with more freedom! I just have to look for more ways to
make freedom happen and at the same time increase my charity. Sigh so much to
do.
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

********************************************************
An interview with Maria T. Sicola, senior managing director of Cushman & Wakefield's Advisory Services Group, and head of Cushman & Wakefield Analytics, the firm's research and analysis division.
Q: What is the total impact of the tragedy in New York on commercial real estate? How many square feet have been removed from the market?
A: More than 12.5 million square feet of Class A space was completely destroyed in the attack on the World Trade Center. That amount of space alone is roughly equivalent to the entire inventory of Miami's central business district, which has about 11.6 million square feet, and Atlanta's central business district, which has approximately 13.4 million square feet. Beyond that, another 13.3 million square feet has been damaged, of which 7.7 million square feet has been confirmed as requiring major repair.
The remaining properties apparently have suffered only minor cosmetic or façade damage, but will still be out of service while owners explore and pursue renovation.
However, despite the combined temporary and permanent loss of nearly 26 million square feet, downtown Manhattan remains one of the largest and most vibrant office markets in the country. It has nearly 100 million square feet of inventory, and ranks as the third largest central business district in the country, behind only midtown Manhattan and Chicago.
Still, the loss of such a large amount of space has basically caused a supply shock to the Manhattan office market. In the short-term, this has caused a decrease in vacancies, and much of the sublease space that we saw returned to the market by dot-com companies at mid-year 2001, has been leased either temporarily or on a long-term basis by companies displaced from the World Trade Center.
Q: Is there enough office space in the city or the region to accommodate all of the displaced tenants?
Yes. Cushman & Wakefield estimates that 32.2 million square feet of office space in Manhattan's three major markets - midtown, downtown and midtown south - was vacant or available for possession within six months, immediately prior to Sept. 11, 2001. There is also ample space available in the surrounding areas in the tri-state region, which currently house more than 36.6 million square feet of vacant office space. Approximately 20.1 million square feet of the available space is located in northern and central New Jersey, with the remainder in New York City's outer boroughs, Westchester, Fairfield and Long Island.
Q: Where will these tenants go in the short term?
A: In the tri-state region, 6.8 million square feet was either leased or was under letter-of-intent by displaced companies in the first 13 days after the attack. Of the 6.8 million square feet, the majority of space - 4.4 million square feet - has been leased in Manhattan, and the balance has been leased in northern New Jersey, and the Westchester, N.Y. and Fairfield, Conn. markets. Most companies have expressed interest in Manhattan, and some tenants, who have taken space in Jersey City, Parsippany, Stamford and Westchester, have publicly stated that these moves out of the city are only temporary.
The signed leases have been a mixture of both long-term relocations and short-term temporary space solutions. Many of the larger financial services firms have already secured long-term leases in midtown. Some tenants are signing short-term subleases or negotiating shorter lease terms in order to keep their long-term options open.
Q: What are the implications of the inventory loss and relocated businesses for the city's office-market-fundamentals of vacancy, rent and construction?
A: In Manhattan and most outer suburban markets, conditions should remain near equilibrium levels for the near-term, but the most popular inner suburbs will face tightening conditions.
There's been a flurry of leasing since Sept. 11, and the 6.8 million square feet of activity will continue to grow for weeks. This activity comes at the heels of what was a very quiet year in 2001, which resulted in softer market fundamentals in most major U.S. markets, including Manhattan.
The surge in activity will keep the market from becoming oversupplied. The day after the attack, Cushman & Wakefield estimated the Manhattan vacancy rate at 8.4 percent. It was slightly higher downtown, and had the attack not occurred, would probably have reached 9 percent today. Now, however, vacancy has fallen to roughly 7.6 percent citywide. As to rents, due to the decline in vacancy rates throughout Manhattan, rent levels will likely remain flat or increase marginally in the near term, at or near levels prior to Sept. 11. And while there is more than 7 million square feet of new construction in Manhattan, the most in over a decade, it is 95 percent pre-leased.
Q: What do you think will be rebuilt to replace the WTC towers?
A: New York City has just begun to think about how to rebuild the World Trade Center. It's an issue that will require considerable planning and public debate. Any redevelopment will be of the highest quality, and will be the most secure office space available.

Q. Describe your volunteer role. A. I've been volunteering for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office since April 1997. I work Tuesday afternoons at the Mission Bay satellite office in Boca Raton. My primary responsibility is serving as interface between the public and the Sheriff's Office. People come in looking for help and I try to point them in the right direction. I also answer phones, assist in obtaining copies of reports and I'm authorized to fingerprint for insurance purposes or for businesses or occupations that require fingerprints for employment. I also fingerprint children for parents.
Q. What is the most common request?
A. Copies of auto accident reports. I can obtain faxed copies from central records in West Palm Beach if the person making the request is someone involved in the accident and they can provide a case number and identification.
Q. Are there requests the satellite office does not handle?
A. Volunteers are not authorized to take police reports or get involved in criminal matters. We can direct the person where they need to go or to call a deputy. We also do not handle animal control issues, traffic problems, fingerprinting for Immigration and Naturalization services or concealed weapons permits.
Q. How did you become interested in volunteering?
A. The first time I volunteered was in the early 1990s for a respite program for the Diocese of Palm Beach County and my local parish. I've also served as secretary of the men's club at my church and as a board member for my homeowner's association. My wife was a volunteer librarian at Hospice by the Sea in Boca Raton and I helped her. I became interested in the Sheriff's Office after seeing an advertisement in the newspaper that they were recruiting volunteers. It was something I could contribute as a good citizen, so I called, filled out an application, submitted to a background check and started volunteering.
Q. Who is your role model?
A. My wife, Audrey. She volunteered almost 11 years at the hospice until three months ago when she began having back problems.
Q. What keeps you motivated?
A. A sense of civic responsibility and the desire to be helpful.
Q. What have you learned?
A. What to do if I'm ever involved in an accident, how the sheriff's department works and a lot more about law enforcement in general.
Q. Describe your most rewarding moment.
A. Just the thanks I receive from the people I've helped. Some take it for granted, but most are appreciative.
Q. How does the satellite office contribute to a stronger community?
A. It's convenient for the public, provides free services and there's a minimal amount of waiting involved.
Q. How do you spend leisure time?
A. Audrey enjoys quilting and arts and crafts and I help her with projects when she needs me. I also like working crossword puzzles, playing computer games and we travel occasionally.
Q. What advice would you give others who want to volunteer?
A. If you have the time to do it, you should. There's a need for additional mobile units to patrol shopping centers and strip malls.
For more information, contact Major Phil Gould at 561-483-4123.

Name: Hillary Parker
Title: Director of process and quality, supply department
Company: Union Pacific Railroad, one of the largest railroads in North America, serving 23 states in the western two-thirds of the country.
Educational background: With a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Manhattan College, Parker is now pursuing an MBA at Regis University in Denver to gain a better understanding of business and finance. "For any company to be successful, its employees must have a firm understanding of the financial impact of their decisions," she says. "This especially applies to purchasing where a balance must be struck among quality, safety, and cost to ensure the financial health of suppliers and customers." Professional background: Parker has been with UP's supply department for four years, taking on her current role as director of process and quality for the supply department in 2001. Prior to that, she worked on developing a departmental safety program and implementation of a facilities engineering program to update and standardize UP's field operations.
Duties: Parker works in a cross-functional position to find ways to improve the policies and procedures in UP's supply organization, including areas such as purchasing and supplier relationships. She uses statistical analysis to evaluate supplier performance based on both quality and price and looks for areas to improve the supply base and gain efficiency and savings in UP's $2.9 billion spend. "We monitor delivery performance and leadtime by our suppliers, trying to find ways to improve performance," she says.
Technology's role: Online technologies are changing the way quality is measured and tracked. UP has developed an in-house tool to evaluate critical suppliers. The tool has developed organically as more users come online and make suggestions. "[The tool] actually started as something rather elementary but our Process, Design and Quality group is developing it into a Web application. Testing of the tool is anticipated in the third quarter with a handful of our critical suppliers. The tool will allow suppliers to access information to see how we are evaluating them and any data discrepancies can be quickly addressed to make sure our information is in synch with our suppliers."
Beyond that, online tools are playing a role throughout the purchasing operations. UP is implementing an e-sourcing tool from Clarus and currently 90% of UP's transactions come via EDI with a goal of 100% by the end the 2002. "Using e-procurement should eliminate some of the more tactical operations and free our employees to work on strategic activities and relationships with our suppliers."
Making old things new again:One of the biggest challenges in developing policies and procedures is making them accessible to all parties involved. Parker says, surprisingly, there are still a lot of hard-copy policy manuals floating around UP.
"We're converting those manuals to electronic documents that are housed in a central location and will use it as a repository so everyone sees the same information at the same time. This process prevents outdated information in the field and utilizes our best practices. Converting to centralized, electronic information is standardizing how we do business, increasing productivity and eliminating errors, which adds to our bottom line. So by putting our documents online we're capturing the best practices of all our operations and putting them in a place for everyone to use as a standard."
Benchmarking:Parker says benchmarking is becoming a more common method of improving quality and procedures in the rail industry. UP recently completed a detailed benchmarking study with the Institute of Supply Management and the Center for Advanced Purchasing Studies.
UP has long been active in the ISM quality initiatives," she says. "These cross-functional opportunities allow the railroads to mutually improve quality processes, customer satisfaction, and lower operating costs. UP is implementing specialized programs for quality initiatives, such as Six Sigma in joint partnership projects with both our suppliers and customers."
The merger mania that has dominated the rail industry has led its survivors to work more closely together to improve operations and develop an efficient national rail network. As part of that cooperation, the rail industry in late 2000 developed the RailmarketPlace, a joint function for purchases on nonrail supplies to get the most benefit for their purchasing power. UP is one of the equity owners of that marketplace.

HEADLINE: COLLEGE FINED OVER TOXINS
BYLINE: By BILL EGBERT DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
The federal government's environmental watchdog agency has slapped a $111,199 fine on Manhattan College for mishandling hazardous waste on its Bronx campus.
The civil complaint by the Environmental Protection Agency alleges that the college failed to keep tabs on the hazardous waste it was producing, stored the material without a permit, and failed to respond to the agency's requests for information.
The hazardous materials cited in the complaint range from mercury and arsenic to old paint and used fluorescent light bulbs and computer monitors at two facilities on its Riverdale campus. "Manhattan College handles a range of hazardous substances in its educational and maintenance facilities," said Environmental Protection Agency Regional Administrator Jane Kenny, "and has failed to follow regulations written to protect the public health."
The agency issued a compliance order Friday requiring the college to determine how much hazardous waste is generated at its facilities, to obtain all necessary permits, and to develop protocols to protect students and staff. Making schools comply The action comes as part of the Colleges and Universities Initiative, a three-year-old effort in the agency's Region 2 to boost awareness and compliance at colleges regarding hazardous waste regulations.
The program includes a policy to reduce the fines levied against institutions that come forward with violations voluntarily. Forty-eight institutions in the Northeast have turned themselves in for violations found in self-audits, and more than half have had their penalties waived.
Manhattan College did not report the alleged violations to the Environmental Protection Agency, however, the agency said. The complaint stemmed from violations found during a December 2000 government inspection.
Paint and cleansers Much of the hazardous waste cited in the complaint results from maintenance operations, including paint and solvents, which led the agency to order the institution to do a thorough inventory of all hazardous waste generated on campus.
Manhattan College is one of six sites in the state permitted to store nuclear waste. It still holds a small amount of uranium fuel for a research reactor it shut down in 1996. The storage of that material was not part of the EPA action.
Dr. Weldon Jackson, Manhattan College executive vice president, said in a written statement that while it may ask for a hearing to contest the allegations and reduce the fine, the college "will rectify any and all problems in order to ensure the safety of our campus and the environment."

RONALD A. LEONE
Annandale, NJ 08801
OBJECTIVE:
Obtain a senior level management position in an engineering, technical, marketing, or manufacturing organization.
EXPERIENCE:
Electronics – Extensive knowledge and broad experience in the semiconductor industry
Industrial Gases – Technical and marketing experience with industrial gases including ultra high purity gases for the electronics industry
Information Management / Technology – Technical and managerial experience in developing knowledge management systems and software tools to assist engineers and marketing managers
CAREER HISTORY:
The BOC Group, Murray Hill, NJ
Director, Engineering Automation and Solutions
1991 - Present
BOC is a global supplier of industrial gases and chemicals operating in over 60 countries with nearly $6B in annual sales. As part of a major BOC Group initiative to expand their business in the electronics industry, I was recruited in 1991 to establish the Engineering Automation and Solutions department. This responsibility included establishing and staffing a high caliber team of engineers and software developers to develop design automation tools and to re-engineer the proposal process for Electronic Gases. Over the years, responsibilities were expanded and new technology developed in support of other business units within the BOC Group. Currently EAS develops a wide variety of tools and e-business applications for seven distinct BOC business units throughout the world.
Contributions To Electronic Gases (1991-Present)
Developed a set of modeling, design, and purity simulation tools including the Fab Modeller, a sophisticated tool to develop an accurate 3D model of a semiconductor fab gas distribution system using globally approved and proven design rules, components, and purity models. Design time reduced from months to weeks enabling technically and financially accurate proposals to be prepared in 3-4 weeks. These accomplishments won a BOC Gases Americas Award of Excellence and the Chairman's Award for Technology in 1994.
Re-engineered the proposal process, incorporating the previously mentioned design tools, restructuring the proposal business process, and creating a framework for presenting the bid packages to customers. During the semiconductor expansion in the mid 90's, BOC won new business in the Electronics Gases Sector at a rate equal to three times its market share. These accomplishments won the BOC Gases Americas President's Award and the BOC Group Award for Innovation Excellence in 1995.
Developed design tools for low vapor pressure gases using advanced thermodynamic calculations and computer simulations. Working closely with Marketing, these tools were used to achieve early design wins of low vapor pressure gases due to BOC's ability to accurately design systems which were optimized for safety, cost and performance. A BOC Gases Achievement Award was received for the early phase of this work.
EAS continues as a center of excellence for the design and analysis of Electronic Gases Systems. Over 400 jobs have been done to date with a market value of $2MM. Recognized as industry experts, EAS has published 16 papers and provides consultation to BOC engineers and marketing/sales managers worldwide.
Contributions to Other BOC Business Units (1996 - Present)
Based upon the successes in Electronics Gases, the responsibility of the team was expanded to develop applications for Process Plants, Process Systems, Process Gas Solutions U.S. and U.K., Global Operations, Industrial and Special Products, and enabling functions such as Human Resources, Corporate Communications, and Information Management. All of the applications and tools are web-based to enable global access and to minimize the impact on desktop PCs.
Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) – Over the past four years EAS developed and deployed an electronic document management system which has become the de facto standard for the BOC Group. There are currently more than 2,000 users across BOC who are registered for access to secured documents, 3,500 users with access to unsecured documents, 200 individuals managing the content directly through web-enabled interfaces on the Intranet, and more than 450 users registered for the extranet site including 200 users external to BOC. This work earned a BOC Gases Americas Award for Excellence in 2000.
E-Business Applications – EAS developed BOC’s first intranet and since then has developed and deployed over 20 internal web sites and portals. Recently two Internet portals were developed to sell BOC expertise, services, and capabilities, such as the EAS Engineering Tools, to semiconductor customers.
Automated Supply Chain Management – EAS developed a comprehensive custom BOC solution for small packaged plants to 1) create and manage a component database and product Bills of Material, 2) automate the purchasing process, and 3) track and expedite purchasing and fabrication. Using this system, purchasing related hours have been reduced from 380 hours to 108 hours for a nitrogen generator and from 300 to 65 hours for an oxygen generator.

Configurator Tools – Configurator tools were developed for small packaged plants to provide the capability for sales and marketing personnel to automatically configure complex plants to meet customer needs without the necessity and delay of requiring engineering design each time. The Product Selector Tool facilitates quoting standard products and has resulted in a reduction in time to quote an oxygen generator from 4 hours to 30 minutes and a nitrogen generator from 16 hours to 30 minutes.
Marketing Tools – A number of tools were developed to assist in identifying and tracking new business opportunities, making regional information available on a global basis, providing quoting tools, and making product information available electronically. All tools are web-enabled which permits global access and facilitates revision control.
Operations Support Systems – The Product Operation and Support Tracking System (POSTS) and the Global Information Feedback and Tracking System (GIFTS) are examples of applications which have helped Operations address problems at plants in the field. In the first 9 months of use, 65 people used GIFTS to communicate 111 suggestions, and after 1.5 years of use 56 people have used POSTS to address 414 issues.

HEADLINE: TRACK & FIELD - Freeman is titlist in 'Hammerama'
Jacob Freeman, who set new standards for the 12-pound hammer while at Hendricken High, is enjoying equal success with the 16-pound international ball now that he's at Manhattan College.
Yesterday Freeman, who is entering his senior year, won the men's open competition at the annual "Hammerama" event at Curtis Corner Middle School. Freeman got off a personal best distance of 228 feet, 1 inch (69.75 meters). Adam Midles of Olympia, Wash., the top prep hammer thrower in the United States this season, utilized quick foot speed and three turns in winning the high school (12-pound) hammer event. Midles threw the ball 229 feet, 11 inches (70.08).
"I came to have fun," said Midles, who will enter UCLA in the fall and whose 242-1 (73.78) distance in the high school hammer has not been surpassed this season.

HEADLINE: STATE TITLE BRINGS HESS FULFILLMENT
BYLINE: BOB DICESARE; News Sports Reporter
Golfers in the Buffalo District have been talking about Kyle Hess behind his back for years. They were raving about his game in 2000, when at age 19 he placed third in the district individual championship at Cherry Hill. They were awestruck by his laughably long drives in last year's event at Crag Burn. They wondered what he might accomplish if only he'd recognize the vastness of his potential.
<extraneous deleted>
Hess put his entire game on display in completing his wire-to-wire run to the state title. He had drives of 292 and 304 yards on par-5s during the afternoon session and pounded fairway after fairway with 2-irons as his lead ballooned, putting him dormie with seven holes to play. He began a string of four straight afternoon birdies by hitting to 1 foot a greenside sand shot to an elevated surface, the ball resting 18 inches below his feet. And he cashed a number of meaningful putts, none more significant than the 8-footer for birdie that concluded the morning round and sent him to the final 18 3-up.
"That really was huge," Hess said. "It gave me a lot of confidence going into the second 18."
Damiano, a senior at Manhattan College, was defenseless when Hess unleashed his flight of birds beginning on the 21st hole. Hess nearly holed his tee shot on a 185-yard par-3, drained an 8-footer. He knocked a wedge to 5 feet on a 332-yard par-4, converted again, his advantage up to 6. Then he bombed his 304-yard drive dead down the middle of No. 6, a 524-yard par-5, and easily made 4 from the fringe for a birdie to halve the hole.
"I've seen him around, I've heard his name before so I knew I was in for a treat," Damiano said. "I wasn't expecting four birdies, though, on four holes. You can't beat a hot putter or a good iron player. Whoever's putting wins."
Hess went 7-up with seven to play, his 30-footer heaping the frustration upon Damiano, who was continually betrayed by his putter.
"It wasn't there for me as it was in the other matches," Damiano said. "I missed some 4- and 5-footers today I usually made with no problem in the other matches. It comes and goes."
It's often said that the last hole is the toughest to win, particularly with a championship on the line.
"You don't have to tell me that," Hess said. "I just experienced it."
Damiano won four straight holes, three of them with pars, to whittle his deficit to three with three to play.
"I was fine out there," Hess said. "I really wasn't nervous."
His caddy, Kevin Wright, couldn't say the same.
"I think I was more nervous than he was," Wright said. "On No. 12 I said, 'Let's finish this, it's time to go home.' Then he kind of let that putt slip away. On 13 I said, 'We'll go home on this one.' Finally, coming down 16 I said, 'Enough's enough. It shouldn't be going on this long. Let's end it right here.'
"He said, 'OK, Kevin, I agree.' "
Hess knocked a 96-yard wedge to 2 feet. Match over.
"It was a privilege to carry his bag this week," Wright said. "He really wanted this. And he went out and got it."

Thanks. Great.
I'd like to see this for a few weeks, but a monthly update would probably be too much, as most people are already bombarded by e-mails, and now we've recently received e-mails from the NY Manhattan alumni club, Sean Murphy, and other alums who try to pull the alumni connection together.
Also - is there anyway to correct the search function on the web-site, so you can search for someone by their maiden name?
I put myself in as Regina_Lydon because that is how any fellow alums would recognize me, but yet when you run a search, my name does not come up, and the same is true for other women alum I have tried to search for.
Please advise.
P.S. - How did you get my e-mail address initially?
Regards,
Regina A. Johnson

Dear John,
I would like to report that I was able to attend the Mass of the Holy Eucharist for Msgr. Curtin '37 on Wednesday Evening. It was a Manhattan affair. The main organizer of the celebration was Msgr. Peter Finn '60, who is the Rector of the Seminary and the Homilist was Fr. Tom Mulvanerty, I believe Class of 1970 or 71 from the Graduate Division. Fr. Tom was both sincere and humorous in describing Msgr.'s time as a Professor of Liturgical Music at the Seminary and the effect he had on the many classes of Seminarians that had the privilege of attending his classes. Fr. also alluded to Msgr.'s time at Manhattan as a student and his love of more contemporary music he developed there.
I was also able to attend the funeral Mass today which was celebrated by Cardinal Egan. I am pleased to report that Manhattan was well represented at this Mass as well.
In addition, today's NY Times (7/25/02) at page B 8 has the following article:
===
MSGR. RICHARD CURTIN, 86, CHOIR CONDUCTOR
Msgr. Richard B. Curtin, who conducted choirs for two papal visits to Yankee Stadium and produced several records of religious choral music, died on Sunday in Riverdale, the Bronx. He was 86.
In 1965, as Pope Paul VI entered Yankee Stadium for a Mass during the first papal visit to the United States, a chorus of 225 Men from seminaries in the New York area rose up in song, and Monsignor Curtin was on the podium. He repeated his conducting duties when John Paul II celebrated Mass at the Stadium 14 years latter.
Monsignor Curtin was professor of church music at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, N.Y., from 1946 to 1966, and also taught at the Pious X School of Liturgical Music at Manhattanville College in Purchase N.Y., and at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.
At St. Joseph's, the seminary for the New York Archdiocese, Monsignor Curtin led the 24-member Seminary Choir.
In the 1960's he made recordings of the choir's liturgical music, and in 1995, the stereo master tapes were used to produce a two-CD set, "A Treasury of Sacred Music". He is survived by two brothers, John, of Vero Beach, Fla., and Thomas, of Bronxville, N.Y."

A great Jasper made a great impression on the Church of New York and he will be missed.

"Do you agree with President Bush's Plan to createa new Department of Homeland Security? "
While I am personally glad that the "government" has finally found one of its Constitutionally mandated functions, I question why we have a "Department of Defense" and a "Department of Homeland Security". Now if they would care to more properly label them as the "Department of Offense" and the "Department of Defense", that I could go along with.
