Daughter of atheist, agnostic chooses life as Dominican nun

=== <begin quote> ===

BALTIMORE (CNS) -- As the daughter of an atheist mother and agnostic father, Katy Zeitler learned little about religion or faith. She didn't even know what a prayer was. But after much soul-searching, research and a gentle nudge from the Holy Spirit, the 21-year-old graduate of Baltimore's Goucher College became a Catholic and now is preparing to answer a call to the religious life as a Dominican. Born in California, Zeitler moved to Baltimore with her parents and two sisters when she was 6 and found herself often facing questions about religion from her young classmates at school. "People would ask me what religion are you and I would look down at my shoes and say, 'I don't know,'" said Zeitler, a member of Immaculate Conception Parish in the Baltimore suburb of Towson.

=== <end quote> ===

Interesting what happens when one is open to the world around oneself. The sinner Paul becomes a saint. An atheist's child finds the Church. I wish I could be more open to the "flow".

Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

City police department to promote three

By MATTHEW HIGBEE , Middletown Press Staff 06/05/2003

MIDDLETOWN -- Two honored veterans and a young detective will be promoted to higher ranks in the Middletown Police Department. On Friday, they will be ceremoniously sworn in along with Capt. Phil Pessina, whose promotion to deputy chief was approved by the City Council earlier this week.

Lozefski, a six-year veteran, scored third highest on the sergeant’s promotion exam and holds a bachelor of science degree from Manhattan College. Most recently assigned to the street crime unit, Lozefski has also worked in the patrol division.

Lozefski is married and the father of three children.

Although city hall instituted a hiring freeze last fall in response to deep cuts in state aid, the mayor and the common council decided to fill vacant positions in the police department because of rising overtime costs.

Brymer also received permission to fill the four vacancies created by the current round of promotions in July.

To contact Matthew Higbee, call (860) 347-3331 ext. 223, or email mhigbee@middletownpress.com.

Christopher Byrnes
Professor and Dean, School of Engineering and Applied Science

Christopher Byrnes received his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Manhattan College in 1971, and his master’s and doctorate in mathematics from the University of Massachusetts in 1973 and 1975.

From 1975 to 1978, he was an instructor at the University of Utah. From 1978-1984, he was an assistant professor, then an associate professor in the Division of Applied Science at Harvard University. From 1984-1989, he was research professor of engineering and mathematics at Arizona State University.

In 1989, he came to Washington University as chairman and professor in the Department of Systems Science and Mathematics. In 1991, he became dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science. He has held visiting appointments at various institutions including: Kungliska Tekniska Hogskolan, Stockholm, Sweden; Ceremade, Universite Paris - Dauphine, Paris, France; Universita di Roma, Rome, Italy; Soviet Academy of Sciences, Irkutsk, Kiev Moscow, USSR; IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria; University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan; Universiteit Groningen, The Netherlands, and Universitat Bremen, Bremen, BRD.

During the last decade impressive progress has been made in the understanding of nonlinear dynamical systems, using newly developed geometric, algebraic, and analytic methods. Nonlinear distributed parameter systems, in particular, provide models for many important physical systems, including rigid spacecraft with feasible appendages, lightweight flexible structures (such as elastic robot arms), and air flow across an airport.

One of the long range goals of Dean Christopher Byrnes’ research is the development of a systematic methodology, similar in intuitive appeal and scope to classical automatic control, for designing feedback laws capable of stabilizing or perhaps even shaping the time response of nonlinear lumped and distributed parameter systems.

To this end, he and his students have been studying two closely allied approaches, which have their origins in two aspects of the control of complex dynamical systems: the development and analysis of an accurate a system description as possible and the alternate development of reduced order models, capturing some of the dominant dynamical effects.

Dr. Byrnes is also active in research programs in digital signal processing and speed processing.

Dr. Girling Drive honors man who 'was straight as a string'
People still recall dentist, trustee for his honest approach

Julienne Marshall
Special to The Journal News

HAVERSTRAW - Dr. Girling Drive is taken by commuters as they gear up for the 22-minute trip across the Hudson to Ossining, via a New York Waterways commuter ferry.

The road's namesake is Dr. George W. Girling, who was a popular dentist and eight-year member of the village Board of Trustees. His memory resides with his widow, his children and grandchildren, his fellow government workers and his friends, who, like Girling, were volunteer members of Rescue Hook and Ladder Company No. 1.

Girling was a gridiron star at Haverstraw High School in the 1930s, said former village historian Jack Berrian, who played football with him.

After Girling graduated from a Catholic high school in New York City, he received degrees from Manhattan College and the Columbia School of Dentistry. He was a World War II veteran, serving in the Pacific.

After a long battle with cancer, Girling died in 1975, at the age of 56, during the term of Mayor Raphael Mertzel. Girling had also served during the administration of Mayor Dominic Gamboli.

He was remembered at the time of his death by Frank Matone, a Haverstraw Town Board member, who said, "He was one of the guys with more integrity than most you find in politics. The man was absolutely uncorruptible. His word was always good, and he was straight as a string the way he played politics and government. Up until he died, he still talked about plans for the village and running again next year."

According to the minutes of the Board of Trustees for Haverstraw village, dated Sept. 8, 1976, it was resolved that "the street known now as East Riverside Ave. be changed to Dr. Girling Drive."

In his position as fire commissioner, Girling served on the village board as a liaison between government and the fire department. An expert on municipal bonding and funding, Girling was influential in the construction of the Department of Public Works garage (located on Dr. Girling Drive), and was the village Democratic chairman from 1966 to 1970.

Girling was also a member of the Knights of Columbus, the Haverstraw Lions Club, the board of directors of Summit Park Hospital and a member of St. Peter's advisory board when the parochial school was new.

Andrew Koval, who served with Girling at Rescue Hook and Ladder, remembers Girling as a man who would respond to a fire call at any time.

"He was my dentist," said Koval. "When the fire whistle blew, he said, 'Let's go!' no matter what he was doing with my teeth, and we'd both go to the fire."

Girling and his family lived right across Hudson Avenue from the Koval family, at number 121. The home had once belonged to a brick manufacturer, and is now a state-operated group home for the developmentally disabled.

Girling's widow, Catherine, remembers her husband telling a story of when he was in high school: He used to sit and look over at that house and think, "I'd love to own that some day." Catherine, who met her husband when he hired her to work as an assistant/receptionist in his dental office, said they bought the home right after their triplets were born. They had eight children - five daughters and three sons.

"It was a huge house," Catherine said. "I didn't know we were going to fill it up."

Girling was a "pretty honest and straightforward guy," his wife said. He worked up until two weeks before he died. It was on July 16, 1975, just weeks after their youngest child, a son, graduated from high school, Catherine recalled. She was in the hospital, having suffered a heart attack on July 3.

She still lives in the Haverstraw area, with many of her children and grandchildren not far away. Sadly, she said, her husband never saw any of his 16 grandchildren.

HEADLINE: Gendron takes leap: editor to educator;
Clark post employs business outlook
BYLINE: Jim Bodor; TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF
DATELINE: WORCESTER

- Clark University celebrated its past last night and outlined a vision for its future that includes its first entrepreneur-in-residence.

During a celebration of the 20th anniversaries of Clark's Small Business Development Center and its Graduate School of Management, the school announced that former Inc. Magazine editor George M. Gendron will serve as the school's first entrepreneur-in-residence.

The post will be partially funded by a $35,000 grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, which the school will match. As entrepreneur-in-residence, Mr. Gendron will design and teach two courses about entrepreneurship -- one to undergraduates, one to graduate students -- and work with a task force to enhance Clark's entrepreneurial curriculum.

He will also serve as a resource to Clark faculty. The new post officially begins July 1.

''After I left Inc., I was contacted by a lot of schools in the Boston area,'' Mr. Gendron said. ''Other places focused on their pasts and their legacy. Clark was all about their future.''

The school also gave him the freedom to design his own curriculum, he said.

Mr. Gendron joined Inc. in January 1981 and became editor-in-chief in 1983. Over the next two decades, the magazine saw its readership climb to 2.2 million per month, especially surging during the dot-com boom.

Mr. Gendron helped Inc. establish a book-publishing group, video production group and conference and seminar division. He also co-authored and narrated Inc.'s video ''How to Really Start Your Own Business,'' which won an American Film Institute Award for outstanding business and economic programming.

Mr. Gendron began his career as an arts and entertainment editor for New York magazine from 1973 to 1975. He also wrote for its sister publication, The Village Voice, during that time.

From 1975 to 1978, he was editor-in-chief of Boston Magazine. He is a graduate of Manhattan College.

In June 2000, Inc. was sold to the German media conglomerate Bertelsmann AG for $200 million. After remaining with the company through a transition period, Mr. Gendron decided to leave to pursue teaching, writing and investing in entrepreneurial businesses, he said.

A mutual friend introduced him to Edward J. Ottensmeyer, the dean of the Graduate School of Management at Clark, who persuaded him to join the university, he said.

''I felt a sense of closure,'' he said. ''I had seen the magazine through from startup to the sale, and I didn't want to work with a big German company.''

During its 20 years, the Small Business Development Center has assisted more than 1,300 small businesses which collectively employed more than 6,000 people.

Now seems to be a good time for a new generation of entrepreneurs to venture out on their own, Mr. Gendron said.

Established companies have focused on controlling costs rather than on innovation in recent years, he said, leaving opportunities open to creative entrepreneurs.

There is a sense of economic optimism the country has lacked before now, he said. Consumers are open to new products. And the labor pool is well supplied with skilled and experienced people looking for work, he said.

At the same time, a generation of young people has seen the effects of downsizing, and is more willing to accept the risks -- and potential rewards -- of entrepreneurship, he said.

''They've seen parents, friends, neighbors, uncles, aunts lose their jobs not because of performance but because of factors beyond their control,'' he said. ''It turns out the kids really have been watching, and they get it. And now there's been a massive redefinition of risk.''

HEADLINE: Molloy Avoids Elimination
BYLINE: By John Boell. STAFF WRITER

Not this time.

That was the thought on the mind of Nick Derba and his Molloy baseball teammates as they prepared to play division rival St. Francis Prep at St. John's University yesterday.

Molloy had been guilty last week of looking ahead to the possibility of facing top-seeded Iona Prep during a game with St. Joseph's-by-the-Sea and lost, sending the Stanners to the losers' bracket of the CHSAA double-elimination, championship tournament.

But this time, the third-seeded Stanners did not let that happen. Molloy, the defending CHSAA A champs, scored in each of the first four innings en route to a 9-4 win over No. 5 St. Francis Prep, which finishes the season 21-10.

"We made that mistake before today of looking past a team," Derba said. "Now we take it one game at a time. We don't look ahead to what's on the horizon."

Which for Molloy (24-5) is a rematch against St. Joseph-by-the-Sea in an elimination game at 3 p.m. today at St. John's. The winner faces Iona Prep, which has yet to lose in the tournament, tomorrow at a site and time to be determined. If Iona Prep wins that game, it would take the championship; a loss would force a winner-take-all title game on Thursday.

The Stanners advanced, in large part, because of timely hitting. Molloy knocked in five of its nine runs with two outs, including two by Derba.

"I hope this carries over," said the Manhattan College-bound Derba, who went 1-for-2 with two runs scored and two RBIs. "It was huge because we haven't been hitting the ball very well."

Molloy cashed in early with a four-run first, aided by one big error. After a leadoff single by Ed Hackimer and a walk by Ryan Roberts, a bunt attempt by Mike Sporton was mishandled, allowing Hackimer to score.

Matt Rizzotti was hit by a pitch - one of two Stanners plunked (three St. Francis Prep batters also were hit) - loading the bases. Derba followed with a fielder's choice RBI. A sacrifice fly by Jovan Santos scored Sporton, and a two-out single by Tom Catalanotto brought in Derba.

St. Francis Prep scored its first run in the second off senior righthander Brian Honeyman, who struggled with his curveball throughout, but pitched well enough to win. The Queens College-bound Honeyman (5-0) allowed four runs and five hits with five strikeouts and no walks.

St. Francis Prep catcher Mike Xifaras had three of his team's five hits, and knocked in all four of the Terriers' runs, including a two-run home run that cleared the leftfield wall in the fourth and brought the Terriers within 6-3. But the Stanners added two runs in the fourth, and another in the sixth to close the scoring and end the Terriers' season.

"We had a bad first inning," St. Francis Prep coach Bro. Robert Kent said. "We didn't make the plays, and Molloy took advantage."

Now the Stanners get to play at least one more game. "I've waited three years for this," Honeyman said. "I wasn't going to let us go home on my pitching."

Bronder, a 6-foot, 175-pound right-hander, was the winner in a 3-2 triumph over Niagara in a losers' bracket game. He worked 1.2 hitless innings. In a 2-1 loss to Marist, which eliminated the Jaspers, he also worked 1.2 innings of hitless ball.

For the season, Bronder pitched in 21 games with three starts. He gave up 22 runs (19 earned) and walked 23 and struck out 26.

HEADLINE: Castellano Pilots St. Joseph Victory
BYLINE: By John Boell. STAFF WRITER

If the Molloy baseball team is going to successfully defend its CHSAA championship, the Stanners are going to have to go through the losers' bracket.

Matt Castellano personally saw to that. The St. Joseph by the Sea senior righthander allowed three hits and two runs in seven innings.

Castellano was careful against the heart of the Stanners lineup. He walked Derba once and cleanup hitter Matt Rizzotti twice in six at-bats.

"He took the bat out of our hands; I only saw one pitch ," said Derba, who is headed to Manhattan College next season. "I thought he was extremely hittable; we just didn't do what we had to do. It was one of those days where nothing works."

While everything seemed to fall right into place for the Vikings.

"This is the game I wanted; I wanted to play Molloy with my ace," said coach Gordon Rugg, whose Vikings meet top-seeded Iona Prep tomorrow in a winners' bracket game. "It's a shame Castellano can't pitch on two days rest."

Good Afternoon, John:

1. Thanks for your kind words about my Lady.

2. The Texas Air National Guard does not let 'seals' into the cockpits of F-16s! CINC - G.W. Bush - was a fighter pilot (not a PR type as was his late opponent from Tenn.)!

3. The good Brother, who obviously doesn't like the Cardinal who spoke at Georgetown, was obfuscating and blathering breambait and balderdash in his response to you. The real issue was that the University had invited the Cardinal and the persons who walked out simply revealed their total lack of good manners.

4. We are being inundated this weekend by the campaign to clean up Hilary. Shakespeare - William, not the other one who was the only English Pope, thank God, who gave Ireland to England - had the perfect word for her. Stew! As in Hilary Stew is bad for you. And before any bleeding heart attacks you, let them ask themselves what one calls a female who sleeps with one man while married to another. As in Foster and Clinton!

5. Again,. keep up the good work (and I hope c can gather an MC chapter in Ireland). Respectfully, Bob Helm, Arts, '51.

[JR: <4> Jaunita Broaddrick, Dolly Kyle Browning, Gennifer Flowers, Elizabeth Ward Gracen, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Sally Perdue, and Kathleen Willey can't all be wrong about the Clintons. With a preponderance of the evidence, Hillary's judgement is suspect in beleiveing her husband, with his track record. I don't see how she is qualified to be President when she can't judge people.

Subject: Arinze and the "Experts"

"Curmudgeon's" reply to my rejoinder on his rant concerning Cardinal Arinze's commencement speech at Georgetown mentioned that, as Cardinal Arinze was speaking to "experts," he didn't need to be specific in his language. By using the term "contraception," his audience was meant extrapolate the adjective "artificial," because they were "experts" (he also used the blanket term "homosexuality;" according to the Church, homosexual acts are sinful, not homosexuality in and of itself).

"Curmudgeon" seems to think that everyone in the audience (administration, faculty, graduates, family and friends) were, to a person, experts in theology. If so, that would have been a remarkable audience. And, if so, even more necessary that His Eminence use accurate theological language. Theology is language. If it is not used correctly, one risks being misunderstood. And, Catholic theology has as its primary aim, absolute clarity. In these two instances, the Cardinal was not accurate in his language. The "experts" had every right to expect him to be so.

Theology is, by definition, "faith seeking understanding." No matter what one's emotional stance on an issue, the Church has provided a clear statement of its beliefs. The responsibility of a Cardinal is to speak about those beliefs within the clarity that the Magisterium provides. In the end, Cardinal Arinze was sloppy in this speech.

I did not mention politicians because American politics is not my field.

The term "honesty" has even more meaning after "Curmudgeon's" rejoinder. If he does not know Jesuits or Jesuit spirituality, why rail against them?

Certainly, in my wide experience, the Jesuits I know are Catholic to the core. An honest admission of some sort of negative reaction to Jesuits based upon popular misconceptions of the Society of Jesus, would help "Curmudgeon's" readers understand from where he is coming.

[JR: We'll just all have to disagree agreeably. Count on "Curmudgeon" to get everyone's irish up. ]

Subject: Human Interest Stories and Snowfalls

John:

Thanks for another Jasper Jottings with a remarkable human interest story that I had missed: first, the story of the Baghdad nun; then, the Memorial Day tribute; and now, the piece on the woman rendered deaf during a robbery and assault, who then eschews suicide and earns a Master's degree in music. God does indeed work in mysterious ways!

I'd like to add a brief correction to the story about the alum whose wedding was temporarily snowed out. The"blizzard" was not in 1948, but in 1947 on December 26 and 27. I know because I was 10 years old at the time and living at 344 Water Street, a cold water flat on Manhattan's Lower East Side. I'm writing a book about the neighborhood, which was destroyed to build the Alfred E. Smith housing project. During my research, I found that the snowstorm, which still holds the New York City record for snow accumulation, was not technically a blizzard, as it is commonly called. The reason was that the wind velocity did not reach 35 miles an hour, which is necessary to meet the U.S. Weather Bureau's definition. Whatever the case, it provided wonderful memories of bonding with my grandmother as we shoveled snow and threw snowballs during a respite. Being small and chunky at the time, I remember the walls of the path we created were taller than I was. I also remember the quiet and peaceful street scene as well as the eerily beautiful glow that the Bishop's crook lamppost cast over the street.

Best regards,

Peter E. Dans, '57

P.S. I'm not sure of correct email address. Is it one of the two above or the Manhattan College edu address? My computer refused to send mail to the MC address.

Peter:

Thanks for the kind words. I think that the "human interest story" was a good addition to Jottings. I wanted to be sure if our fellow alums read only one thing that would be something encouraging.

I have about six email addresses for different purposes. I dedicate reinkefj@alum.manhattan,edu which points to john.reinke@att.net for Jottings. Of the two you sent to, neither are the "@alum.manhattan.edu" address.

I find that on Sundays, email does strange things (i.e., refuse to go "thru"; receive "message queued for four hours" messages, "no path to destination domain"). I explain it with the assumption that many shops take down their email systems on Sunday for back up, improvement, other maintenance, or just stopping for the weekend (i.e., a failure occurs with no one to reset or reboot).

Each week, I get a small percentage (e.g., this week 10 out of the 1068 sent) that require retransmission. Hence when you see "Try#2" or "Try#3" in the message's subject line. Of my weekly "schedule", two days -- Saturday and Sunday -- are allocate to transmission related activities. (I need the schedule to keep myself straight on what needs to be done else everything seems to default to Saturday.

I will defer to those who were around in '47. I am too young to dispute. I just thought it was a "neat catch". I am glad to hear that you think this effort is worthwhile. Around midnight on Wednesday when I typically catch the news, I wonder.

John '68

Dear John,

I think you'll agree that it was not me who found the truth offensive. It was your comment ("again") on the truth that I thought unnecessary.

When I wrote of walking in other's shoes before we pass judgment on another's behavior, I chose not to mention that I had lost my wife at the age of 35 from the same disease that Mr. Helm's informs us his wife is now battling. That was 1970 and we didn't have the medical tools that are now available to deal with this terrible scourge that respects no one. I was left with four children, aged six to eleven at the time. I elected not to remarry until the children were raised; with the unstinting help of family and friends, they've turned out beautifully, thank God.

As to Mr. Helm's questioning whether I had graduated from Manhattan College. Yes, Mr. Helm, I did. I also graduated from St. John's School in the Bronx, Regis High School and Fordham Law School, the latter 20 years after obtaining my engineering degree from Manhattan. Two of the virtues I learned during those twenty years of Roman Catholic education were tolerance and compassion, qualities which seem to be in short supply these days.

I hope and pray that Mrs. Helm will have a full recovery and a long, full life.

Ticket's no choke
By OWEN MORITZ
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Saturday, June 7th, 2003

=== <begin quote> ===

Comic book collector Marty Rosenblum played a real-life superhero, jumping out of his car to save a man from choking on a Brooklyn street.

His reward? A ticket for double-parking.

The registered nurse at Jamaica Hospital was on the way to his favorite comic book store in Park Slope on Wednesday when he turned onto Seventh Ave. A young man who looked familiar was in front of a pizza shop, choking.

"He was crying and trying to spit out the piece," Rosenblum recalled. "It was obvious something had caught in his throat."

Rosenblum slammed on the brakes and ran to the man, Jayson Michalski, a 25-year-old employee of Comics Plus, and applied the Heimlich maneuver.

"He expelled a piece of cheese a good 10 feet," said the nurse.

Michalski, father of a 2-month-old infant, said his choking episode came on faster than a speeding bullet.

"I was talking to somebody," said Michalski. "Suddenly I was choking and gagging. "Thank God, Marty pulled up."

After tending to Michalski for less than five minutes, by both men's calculation, Rosenblum returned to the car to find a traffic enforcement agent writing a ticket for double-parking, a $110 offense.

It's little solace to the 43-year-old Rosenblum, married and the father of two, that the traffic agent was apologetic.

"I'm so sorry to give you this ticket," Rosenblum quoted the agent as saying. It is unclear whether the agent witnessed the lifesaving incident.

He said the agent even urged him to fight the ticket, which Rosenblum said he intends to do.

NYPD Deputy Chief Michael Collins said Rosenblum can get the ticket waived if his case is convincing enough.

"There are administrative processes available to those who may have been issued summonses in error or for those who may have a legitimate reason for violating these regulations," Collins said.

=== <end quote> ===

If we can leave the matters of whether I know a Jesuit or not, (Yes, your honor, regardless of the meaning of "is" or "know", I don't think I have ever known a Jesuit.), my compliments to the afore mentioned traffic agent. I think every New Yorker should receive at least one trivial ticket for a hundred bucks plus every week. Ticket blitz. Let's mow down more trees. Tickets for smoking! Seat belts! Sitting on a milk crate! Pregnant women who sit on subway steps should get two tickets – one for them and one for the "fetus", that I'll call a baby.You name it, let's ticket it. Like the terrible Stallone movie Judege Dredd, let's have boxes that spew "morality code violations". That is perfect. As a Libertarian, what better way to make people realize how onerous, intrusive, annoying, and trivial government is. Maybe then people will take our advice that the government is not your friend. Just a powerful stupid genie that needs to be kept on a short leash. John Adams was right when he said "A republic. If you can keep it." John, we couldn't!

Curmudgeon

And that’s the last word.
