The periodic fund raiser's acknowledgement is out. If you haven't received your copy, then it may have gone astray in the mail. This was well done with some interesting stories about the '52 activities, 911, and some spot pieces. You really should read it. (Maybe if I hold up to the monitor you can see it!) Stop by my office, bring me a cup of coffee, and you can read mine.

'Inspirational' pianist returns to Fort Worth
Blind musician's last Cliburn contest struck a life-changing chord
06/04/2002
By SCOTT CANTRELL / The Dallas Morning News
=== <begin quote> ===
People are still talking about Debra Saylor's five minutes of quiet glory.
"My hair was standing straight up when she played Clair de lune ," says Ron Roberts, a Huntsville, Ala., cyber-librarian who, along with Ms. Saylor, played in the 2000 International Piano Competition for Outstanding Amateurs in Fort Worth. "I could not breathe when she finished."
Claude Debussy's dreamy little piece is one of the best-known in the piano repertory. But Ms. Saylor made it unimaginably new – daringly slow, extravagantly free, as if made up on the spot. At the end, the audience in Texas Christian University's Ed Landreth Auditorium sat in stunned silence, and then hands were divided between explosive applause and dabbing at moist eyes.
This transcendent performance of a piece about moonlight came from a woman who has never seen it. The audience gasped when she tapped her way to the piano with a cane and ran her hands over the keys before playing.
Ms. Saylor is blind.
But she credits the Fort Worth competition with helping her find a whole new life, and she's back for the contest's 2002 edition. Going in as an audience favorite, she'll play at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.
=== <end quote> ===
As you know from reading this that I never ceased to be amazed when people accomplish great things despite great hurdles. Whenever I consider my own modest accomplishments, I am embarrassed when I compare them to some of these others. The only handicap I have to overcome is me, myself, and I. This week I'll try a little harder inspired by this good example. Maybe you'll do the same.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.
"Collector-in-chief"

Anti-psychology
Mr. McFadden graduated from Manhattan College in New York City with a Bachelor's Degree in Peace Studies and Psychology. He received a university fellowship from the University of Pennsylvania for their doctoral program in Peace Science. His areas of concentration were statistical and linguistic propaganda analysis.
After several years of work toward his doctorate he left the University to work with a Quaker activist group doing nonviolence training and hosted their main Philadelphia training center. From there he went on to work with the Committee for a SANE Nuclear Policy and since then has primarily been engaged in online computer conference coordination and informal writing about smokers' issues on the internet.
Throughout this time he has been concerned about what he sees as the propaganda techniques employed by Antismokers in their drive to eliminate smoking. The excerpts here from his forthcoming book "Antismoking Brains? The Psychology Behind the Antismoking Crusade" will illustrate various aspects of his analysis as it relates to World Smokers Day while also giving some valuable insights into the motivations and tactics of Antismokers in the U.S. and around the world.

HEADLINE: Sony Springfield, Ore., Plant Chief to Join Rival Warner
BYLINE: By Sherri Buri McDonald
SPRINGFIELD, Ore.--Tom Costabile, who has headed Sony's Springfield compact disc plant since its launch in 1995, will leave Sony at the end of the month to work for rival Warner Music Group, his new employer said Wednesday.
Costabile will be president of WEA Manufacturing, the U.S. manufacturing and distribution arm of Warner Music Group, according to a company press release. Warner Music Group is part of conglomerate AOL Time Warner Inc. Warner Music owns leading record companies such as The Atlantic Group, Elektra Entertainment Group and Warner Bros. Records.
Based in New York, Costabile will oversee the operations of -- and 2,300 employees at -- Warner Music Group's CD/DVD plants in Commerce, Calif., and Oliphant, Penn.
Earlier this week, Sony named Quintin Mikell as Costabile's successor at the Springfield factory, but there was no explanation of where Costabile was headed. Mikell had been the manufacturing director for the 290-employee plant.
Over the past seven years, Costabile became a well-known advocate in the Eugene-Springfield area for business, economic development and charitable causes.
Costabile started work at Sony in 1993 when he was named senior vice president of operations for the Springfield plant. He had worked the previous nine years at CBS Records. During his career at Sony, Costabile helped launch compact disc factories in Springfield and in Australia. He also added CD manufacturing to a Sony Music cassette tape plant in Canada.
Costabile did not return a call from The Register-Guard on Wednesday.
Costabile received a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Manhattan College in New York in 1975, and an MBA degree from Long Island University in New York in 1978. He is a registered professional engineer in New York State.

MEN’S SOCCER LOSES TO ONE OF NATION'S BEST
COLLEGE PARK, MD (SEPTEMBER 25, 2002) – The Manhattan College men's soccer team lost to Maryland 3-0 on Wednesday night.
The Jaspers (2-6) fell short against the Terrapins (8-1), who are currently ranked fourth in the country.
Manhattan played a solid first half and prevented Maryland from jumping out to an early lead, as the first half ended with no goals.
Maryland took a 1-0 lead when Sumed Ibrahim scored on a headball at 50:05. The Terrapins added two more goals to win 3-0. Nino Marcantonio scored at 62:21 and Jason Garey scored at 87:00.
Antonio Treglia (Brookville, NY) made 10 saves for the Jaspers.

WOMEN’S SOCCER CAPTURES FIRST WIN OF SEASON
STATEN ISLAND, NY (SEPTEMBER 24, 2002) –After a hard fought 90 minutes of play, the Manhattan College women’s soccer team walked away victorious for the first time this season, after defeating Wagner 2-1 on Tuesday afternoon.
The Lady Jaspers (1-5-1) held off a late surge by the Seahawks (2-5-1) to preserve their one goal lead. After losing five straight contests the Jaspers are looking to go on a winning streak.
“It means a lot to get our first win,” said head coach John Sanchez. “Hopefully this gives us some confidence for the upcoming games.”
From the opening whistle, Manhattan applied the pressure to Wagner. After hitting the crossbar and nearly scoring a minute earlier, Lindsay Bernstein (Stormville, NY) scored on a pass from Kristin Stroppel (Cornwall, NY) at 9:02 to give the team a 1-0 lead. With the assist, Stroppel tied Manhattan’s all-time assist record with 15 for her career.
However, the lead did not last for long as Wagner responded with a goal at 15:51 when Jennifer Spadifino scored on a breakaway to tie the game at one.
Stroppel nearly got the lead back for Manhattan when she directed a Jaclyn Pancotti (Redding, CT) cross past the keeper but Wagner defender Michelle Walters was there to knock the ball out of danger.
The Seahawks came within inches from taking the lead when Jasper goalie Jeanne Marie Gilbert (East Northport, NY) made a sliding save on a Jamie Carr shot.
A few moments later, freshman Brandy Luther (Pueblo, CO) displayed a glimpse of her scoring ability that ranked her in the top three in points in Colorado last year. Luther rifled a 30 yard shot that ricocheted off the cross bar and the goalie’s back and then rolled into the net to give the Jaspers a 2-1 lead at 65:25.
Wagner’s offense stepped up its pressure in the closing moments, but a solid Manhattan defense closed the door each time the Seahawks looked as if they were going to tie the game.
For the game, Gilbert made 10 saves for the Jaspers while Dana Honcharuk made six saves for Wagner.
The Lady Jaspers return to action on Saturday, September 28 when they take on Vermont at 11:00 am.

MEN’S BASKETBALL ADDS GAME WITH SETON HALL TO SCHEDULE
RIVERDALE, NY (September 24, 2002) – The Manhattan College men's basketball team has announced that it will add one game to the 2002-03 non-conference schedule.
Manhattan and the Seton Hall Pirates will play on Monday, January 27, 2003 at 8:00 PM at the Continental Airlines Arena. This will be the first meeting between the schools since the 1985-86 season, but the Jaspers have a 26-19 advantage in the all-time series.
The Pirates were 12-18 last season and lost to St. John's in the first round of the BIG EAST Tournament.

HEADLINE: Working Double Time; Walsh enjoys an MLS career while coaching
Manhattan
BYLINE: By Tara Driscoll. STAFF WRITER
While his Chicago Fire teammates were celebrating a 2-1 victory over the Columbus Crew Sunday that clinched the final berth in the Major League Soccer playoffs, Billy Walsh morphed from player to coach. In no time, he was headed back to New York, courtesy of American Airlines, his closest friend the past three months.
The juggling act that has become Walsh's life stems from the unusual circumstances of being both a Division I soccer coach at Manhattan College, and a professional soccer player. Although many active MLS players are assistant coaches, Walsh is the only head coach in the league, according to Alan Plum, MLS senior coordinator of communications. Last season - Walsh's first with the Jaspers - the commute was easier because he wore a MetroStars jersey. That routine ended June 22, when Chicago claimed Walsh off waivers. Now Walsh, 26, splits time between both squads, often torn between his commitments. In helping Chicago make the playoffs, he missed Manhattan's 1-0 win over James Madison on Sunday.
"Either way, I'm sad," Walsh said. "I promised a lot of these kids that I would be around, and I'm trying to do that."
So far, there have been few complaints from either team, due largely to Walsh's willingness to fly about four times per week. When games conflict, Walsh's assistants at Manhattan, Mike Ammann, a goalie with D.C. United, and Brian O'Donnell, a former assistant strength and conditioning coach for the MetroStars, take over the coaching duties.
It also helps that Chicago Fire coach Bob Bradley has known Walsh since he was a teenager on Bradley's Olympic development team and understands the pressure on his midfielder.
"He's a smart player and a good competitor, so we've been flexible with him," Bradley said.
One of six boys, Walsh also got a hand from his younger brother, Mike, a senior midfielder with the Jaspers who transferred from nationally ranked Rutgers last year to play for him.
"Family is the most important thing to me," Mike Walsh said, "even if it means leaving a great program like Rutgers."
Manhattan (2-5) is no Rutgers yet, but Billy Walsh said it won't be long before he builds this program into something special. Last year's 7-10-1 record was the second-most victories in a season for Manhattan, which increased its goals from 12 in 2000 to 28 in 2001.
Walsh's presence attracted better non-conference opponents this season, such as Maryland, Duke and Seton Hall, which should help Manhattan when it opens its MAAC season Oct. 11 at home against Canisius.
"It doesn't show in the box score, but we took it to them," Mike Walsh said of a 5-0 loss to Seton Hall. "It came down to a five-minute defensive lapse."
Manhattan's goal is to win the MAAC Tournament and earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Despite some injuries (Mike Walsh will have his knee scoped this week), the Jaspers have real talent, such as freshman Stephen McKenna, a Scottish striker who was eager to play under Walsh.
For now, it's day-by-day for Walsh, whose Manhattan team plays at Maryland tomorrow, before he joins Chicago in New England on Thursday in a first-round MLS playoff game. Though he's not sure he wants to continue criss-crossing the country next year, Bradley would encourage Walsh to continue.
"As much as he's a coach, he's still a player," Bradley said. "I tell him to keep playing as long as he can."

Smith, Santerre selected
September 24, 2002
STAFF REPORTS
The state’s top amateur woman golfer and an all-star baseball player from Essex were voted the top Male and Female Athletes of the Month for August by the Vermont Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association.
Libby Smith, playing out of Alburg and Vermont National Country Clubs, became the third woman to win four consecutive Vermont Women’s Amateur championships. Smith is tied for fourth all-time with the four wins after beating Williston’s Andrea Brown by seven strokes with a 6-over-par total of 219. The former basketball all-star and golf standout at the University of Vermont was the VSSA’s Female Athlete of the Year for 2001-02.
Josh Santerre capped a tremendous American Legion baseball year by helping Essex capture the Northern District title and the state title and was also a part of the team’s two wins at the Northeast Regionals. Essex went 7-1 in August in the three tournaments. Santerre was named the Most Valuable Player in both the district and state tournaments. He batted .359, with 14 hits, drove in 10 runs and scored nine more. Santerre was 2-1 on the mound, including a pair of 12-strikeout games (8-0 over Waterbury in districts and 5-4 over Rutland at the state). He had 26 strikeouts in 23 innings. Santerre had two of the best defensive plays in the district and state tournaments by robbing Tyler Pelland of base hits on long runs in center field.
Santerre beat out auto racer Phil Scott of Montpelier and four football players: Jake Eaton of Rutland and the University of Maine; James Rincon, Rice Memorial; and Dan Fitzgerald and Colin Temple, both of Mount St. Joseph.
Smith edge Barbara Jordan of South Burlington, a senior masters track team member.
Santerre and Smith are the fourth set of monthly winners for 2002-2003 year. They will be honored, along with the other monthly winners, during the annual VSSA Athlete of the Year banquet next Spring at Norwich University in Northfield.
Smith, who has one semester remaining at the University of Vermont, joins the previous monthly female winners: Angela Megaw of Fair Haven Union for softball (May); Mary Heitkamp of Fair Haven Union for track (June); and Eliza Callwood of Shelburne for the Knights Swim Club (July).
Santerre, a freshman at Manhattan College, joins the previous monthly male winners: Jeff Guilmette of East Montpelier and the University of Vermont for track (May); Tyler Pelland of Mount Abraham Union for baseball (June); and Eric Yeager of Essex for American Legion baseball (July).
Smith and Santerre were selected through statewide balloting after association members submitted nominations for individual performances in August. All full-time and part-time sportswriters and sportscasters, including play-by-play announcers covering Vermont, are eligible for VSSA membership.
More information about the VSSA is available by calling (802) 654-2442.

Volleyball Falls to Manhattan College
Quakers open Sheraton Invitational with loss to Jaspers
Sept. 20, 2002
The Penn volleyball team fell behind quickly in its quest to claim a third-straight Sheraton Invitational title when the Quakers fell to Manhattan College, 3-1, in The Palestra. Junior Elisabeth Kwak-Hefferan leds the Quakers with 16 kills, but it was not enough as Manhattan improved to 11-1 on the season with the victory.
Penn held the Jaspers close in the first game, but could not pull out the win, falling, 30-26. The Red and Blue took the second game, 30-20, making it look easy, but then fell again in the third game, 30-16. The fourth, and ultimately deciding game, was as exciting as they come. Penn was behind six points at one time before coming back and making a charge for a fifth game. Unfortunately, the Quakers could not withstand the Jaspers' attack in the end, and fell, 34-32, in the fourth game.
Senior Elizabeth Watty led the defensive charge with 26 digs, while freshman Cara Thomason had 21 digs and nine kills for the match. Both Heather Janssen and Michelle Kauffman had nine kills and hit .208 for the Red and Blue.

Cordero hitting stride: Seeking to qualify for national
championship
Thursday, September 26, 2002
By GREG MATTURA Staff Writer
Andres Cordero of Little Falls, a senior at Manhattan, is among the top runners in the MAAC. (SPECIAL TO THE RECORD)
The longer the distance, the better it is for Andres Cordero.
The steeper the hill, the more likely the Little Falls resident is to finish near the front of the pack.
That is why Cordero is at his best during the autumn cross-country season. And why the senior from Manhattan College wants to be running with the nation's best in November.
"My No. 1 goal is to qualify for the national championship," said the former All-State runner from Passaic Valley High School.
Cordero is among the top runners in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and last season helped the Jaspers share the league title with powerhouse Iona. Cordero gave the Jaspers their first taste of a MAAC crown by placing third.
His stamina is what sets him apart from his competition and is what helped him earn the title of The Record's Passaic County Cross-country Runner of the Nineties.
"His strength is his strength," Manhattan coach Dan Mecca said. "His endurance is a great factor. We're working on trying to improve his speed. He can go at the same pace mile after mile, and we're working on trying to pick up his pace to improve his speed level."
He placed 20th at last year's NCAA Northeast Regional 10K race in a personal-best time of 30:48.9, and likely needs to break 30 minutes to reach the National Championship on Nov.25 at Indiana State.
His speed was good enough to make him a three-time All-Passaic cross-country selection. His win in the Group 3 sectional in 1998 made him the only Passaic boy to win a sectional crown in the Nineties. His interest in running came from his father, Samuel, who also ran in school.
Cordero logged countless miles during his career at Passaic Valley. He lives four miles from West Paterson's Garret Mountain and practiced by running to, across, and from that cross-country course.
"I put a lot of miles in," said Cordero, 21. "[Garret Mountain] was my second home and that was where I did most of my training in the summer."
As he gears toward reaching the NCAA Championship, he has other more immediate goals, one of which is to break the 25-minute mark in 8K events. He placed third at last year's MAAC Championship in 25:44.
At the Princeton Invitational on Sept.14, Cordero ran 25:29 for 8K to place eighth and help Manhattan finish third. His next meet is Saturday at the Paul Short Invitational at Lehigh, where Mecca hopes Cordero can finish in the top 10 and the Jaspers can place in the top five among 30 schools.
Cordero and the Jaspers also are determined to challenge heavily favored Iona for the MAAC title. The Gaels are ranked No.3 in the United States Cross-Country Coaches Association Northeast Region poll, behind Providence and Dartmouth.
"We have to have a helluva race," said Mecca, whose Jaspers are ranked No. 9 in the poll. "Our top five guys have to run very well on the day, which is always tough to do. But we certainly can do that."
"Our top five runners have to have an amazing race," said Cordero, who majors in sports medicine and is considering a career as a chiropractor. "We have to run the top races of our lives."
Cordero is fortunate that Manhattan's home course is Van Cortlandt Park in The Bronx, which hosts several major meets, including the MAAC Championship on Nov.1 and the NCAA Northeast Regional on Nov.16. That affords him plenty of opportunities to run the hilly course.
"He can fly up and down hills in cross-country, and that's his strong point, especially running at Van Cortlandt Park," Mecca said. "And if we can get him to 24:50 [for 8K], that would be great. Not many people can break 25 minutes at Van Cortlandt Park."
"If I run 24:59, I'll be happy," Cordero said.

Mike,
I am Prep 70 and MC 74. Is till keep in touch with about 8 of my fellow prepsters. I also have myself listed on classmates.com. As of tonight there are a total of 127 Prepsters who have registered there. You get your name listed for free, but to email folks you have to have a gold membership for 20 or 30 dollars.
I would like to think, if we believe the "Kevin Bacon Six degrees of Separation" that if an aggressive campaign were started it might be possible to locate a lot more Prepsters. Looks like we are 6 years apart, but perhaps we could try chasing alumni down and see what happens. Will be more than happy to start with the folks from the class of 70 and see where that leads to.

well I am on the road. It more than a year since 911. The sunshine patriots, who planted the flags on every overpass in a responsive frenzy, have gone on to other causes. But left behind are those lonely, dirty, tattered, and frayed. Who will do their work by collecting and honorably retiring these symbols. We are the people with only a short-term memory. In this case, we have forgotten that men have died for that symbol and gur right to be stupid and ignore it.
