=========================================================
The modern trend towards organic farming is helping the old-fashioned milk delivery business stage a comeback.
http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Northeast/07/21/milkman.ap/index.html
Home milk delivery making a small, but growing comeback
===<begin quote>===
CONCORD, New Hampshire (AP) -- When he became a milkman in 2002, Ron Panneton knew the numbers weren't good.
Everything indicated he was jumping into a dying industry. Home delivery once accounted for most milk sales. By 1963 it was about a third. By 2001 it represented a paltry 0.4 percent.
Two years later Panneton is indeed struggling -- to keep pace with demand.
Interest in his glass bottled milk is so strong that his Barnstead-based Catamount Farm is turning away customers until he and his wife add a second truck and hire their first employee later this summer. His customer list has doubled to 200 from a year ago.
It's a story repeated nationwide as dairy delivery bucks the supercenter trend and grapples with an unexpected demand that industry officials attribute to a combination of nostalgia, convenience and taste.
"I don't know why, but in the glass bottle, it just tastes so good," said Robin Hempel, a Gilmanton woman who stopped Panneton on the street recently to arrange home delivery after seeing the sign on his truck.
<extraneous deleted>
Warren Shaw owns Shaw Farm in Dracut, Massachusetts. About 20 percent of his milk is sold by home delivery to roughly 300 customers, a service he said was kept afloat for years in part by sales of frozen meat pies.
"Over the years I've struggled with eliminating the service, but I always come up with the answer that I shouldn't do that," the fourth-generation dairy farmer said. His home delivery sales have been up 15 percent in recent years.
"As it turns out, with this new interest in this type of service, it's good that we didn't," he said. "There isn't a week where we don't have interest from some new customer."
Convenience also plays a role in the milk's appeal. Though the cost of delivery and the higher price of the milk make it too expensive for many families, more people are willing to trade money for time, said Katie Koppenhoefer, spokeswoman for the International Dairy Foods Association.
And most home milk delivery customers apparently have the money. For example, a half-gallon of whole milk from Catamount Farm is $3.85, which includes $1.50 deposit on the bottle. Delivery costs $2 per trip.
Companies said most of their customers are middle- to upper-class families.
The bottled milk boom is benefiting big companies, too. H.P. Hood, a national dairy company based in Chelsea, Massachusetts, has been delivering milk in New England since 1846. Today it has 12,000 home delivery customers.
"There's a lot of interest, a huge amount of interest, and we don't even advertise," said Stephen Vigneau with Hood's home delivery division.
<extraneous deleted>
And though customer rosters are increasing, finding those customers can mean driving many miles. When milk delivery was more common, a company could be profitable with just a few small communities.
Modern delivery companies must significantly expand their coverage areas to get the same customer base.
"Once I had maybe 400 customers in one city," said Mike Forbes, who owns a delivery service in Elk Grove, California. "Now I've got 800 in two counties."
===<end quote>===
Like the draft beer in a growler, home delivery of milk is reminiscent of a simpler time and a quieter life. Most "back to the future" captures of a past good idea seem to key on capturing that essence. Just like Jottings, trying to transport me back to the best time of my life, we all have to tap into the primal essence. The flow. What makes us what we are. Once we "fall back" to that, then we can "spring forward" with a renewed vigor. I'll let you know when I figure out how to do that. Hopefully, my fellow alums never have that challenge.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

LA SALLE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT BR. MICHAEL J. MCGINNISS, F.S.C, JOINS MANHATTAN COLLEGE’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES
RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Philadelphia native Brother Michael J. McGinniss, F.S.C., president of La Salle University, has been elected to Manhattan College’s Board of Trustees. Br. Michael is the 28th president of La Salle University, an independent, Catholic, coeducational university in Philadelphia founded by the De La Salle Christian Brothers.
Br. Michael joined the Christian Brothers in 1965 and graduated maxima cum laude from La Salle in 1970 with a degree in English. He went on to earn his master’s degree and doctorate in theology from the University of Notre Dame. An expert in pastoral theology, including history and theology of ministry and methods and models of theological reflection, Br. Michael has published several articles and chapters on these topics in such journals as Listening: Journal of Religion and Culture and New Theology Review.
Br. Michael joined La Salle in 1984 as a full-time faculty member and officially became professor in 1993. He chaired La Salle’s religion department in 1991 and shortly after received the University’s Lindback Distinguished Teaching Award.
In 1994, Br. Michael left LaSalle to become president of Christian Brothers University in Memphis, Tennessee. Under his leadership, undergraduate enrollment and retention rates were increased, a graduate education program was established, new residence halls were constructed and a number of other facility renovations and technology enhancements were made.
Br. Michael was appointed president of La Salle University on July 1, 1999. He serves on several boards, including the Association of Independent Colleges and Universities and the Greater Philadelphian Urban Affairs Coalition. He also is a past member of the Ethics Committee of the Board at Albert Einstein Medical Center.
Br. Michael joins Ms. Clare A. Cunniffe, vice president of security solutions at Computer Associates International, and Mr. Hector Gonzalez, chair of the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board and partner at Mayer, Brown, Rowe and Maw, as the newest members of Manhattan College’s Board of Trustees.
________________________________________________________________
PELHAM, NEW YORK, RESIDENT HECTOR GONZALEZ JOINS MANHATTAN COLLEGE’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Pelham, New York, resident Hector Gonzalez, chair of the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board and a Manhattan College alumnus, has been elected to the College’s Board of Trustees.
Mr. Gonzalez, a partner at Mayer, Brown, Rowe and Maw, one of the oldest and largest law firms in the world, concentrates his practice in the areas of complex commercial litigation and white-collar criminal defense. Mayer, Brown, Rowe and Maw advises many of the world’s largest commercial and financial institutions and serves 65 of the Fortune 100 companies. Clients include Bank One, Bank of America, General Electric and Pfizer.
Earlier this year, Mr. Gonzalez was inducted into the Independent Sector Alumni Hall of Distinction. All 14 honorees made outstanding contributions to the state of New York through their careers and public service. The Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities (CICU) announced the inductees during its 48th Annual Meeting in March at the Albany Institute of History and Art. Manhattan College is a CICU member institution.
After completing a bachelor of science degree in 1985 in psychology from Manhattan College, Mr. Gonzalez went on to earn a law degree in 1988 from the University of Pennsylvania School of Law. In 1995, he completed a master’s degree in criminal justice from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice at City University of New York.
Mr. Gonzalez, who was a Fulbright Scholar in Guatemala and a visiting lecturer of trial advocacy at the University of San Carlos in Guatemala City, began his legal career at Rogers & Wells. He accepted a position in 1990 as an assistant district attorney in New York County, a position he held for the next three years before returning to Rogers & Wells. In 1994, Mr. Gonzalez became an assistant United States attorney in the southern District of New York and was deputy chief, then chief, of the narcotics unit from 1997 until 1999.
Born in Havana, Cuba, Mr. Gonzalez emigrated to the United States in 1969 with his family. He has been a part of the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) since June 2000. When appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg as chair in April of 2002, the mayor noted that, “Hector Gonzalez, a distinguished lawyer and former prosecutor, has performed superbly as a member of the CCRB, and his combination of experience and judgment will ensure that the CCRB investigates every complaint thoroughly.”
Mr. Gonzalez is a member of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, the Federal Bar Council and the Hispanic National Bar Association. He also sits on the New York State Federal Judicial Screening Committee and is a member of the board of the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund. He joins Ms. Clare A. Cunniffe, vice president of security solutions at Computer Associates International, and Brother Michael J. McGinniss, F.S.C., president of LaSalle University, as the newest members of Manhattan College’s Board of Trustees.
Mr. Gonzalez is married and has two young daughters.

BAYPORT, NEW YORK, RESIDENT CLARE A. CUNNIFFE JOINS MANHATTAN COLLEGE’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Bayport, New York, resident Clare A. Cunniffe, vice president of security solutions at Computer Associates (CA) International and a Manhattan College alumna, has recently been elected to the College’s Board of Trustees.
Ms. Cunniffe, who was the 2003 Honorary Inductee into the Delta Mu Delta national honor society for business students, completed a bachelor of science degree at Manhattan College in 1981 with a double major in computer information systems and marketing. Shortly after graduation, she jump-started her career in technology as a programmer for IBM’s manufacturing systems department.
In her recent remarks to students at the School of Business awards ceremonies held in April, Ms. Cunniffe reflected on how her career started and its many unexpected turns. After interviews and offers from a few banks, she happened on then-small software company Computer Associates and immediately liked the “rag tag company.” After accepting a job with CA, Ms. Cunniffe wore a number of different hats: from developer to managing consultants, from leading sales teams regionally and globally to managing CA’s relationships internationally from Japan to South Africa. She said her decision to pursue a degree in marketing and computer information systems helped her manage different tasks and serve various roles at CA through the years.
Ms. Cunniffe is a member of the advisory board for the College’s school of business. She also is an active member in the Long Island Center for Business and Professional Women and the Long Island Software and Technology Network as well as Women in Technology International (WITI). She is the recipient of the LI Center’s 2002 Achievers Award in
Business/Technology and has been a frequent speaker in industry and public forum topics of information security and women in technology. Ms. Cunniffe is married and has two daughters.
She joins Mr. Hector Gonzalez, chair of the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board and partner at Mayer, Brown, Rowe and Maw, and Brother Michael J. McGinniss, F.S.C., president of La Salle University, as the newest members of Manhattan College’s Board of Trustees.

MANHATTAN COLLEGE SENIOR MICHAEL BRADY RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS CLARK FELLOWSHIP IN NONPROFIT SECTOR
RIVERDALE, N.Y. – North Greenbush, New York, resident Michael Brady recently was awarded a three-year fellowship by The Clark Foundation. The Clark Foundation was created to identify, nurture and support students with great potential for leadership in careers in community-based nonprofit organizations in New York City. Brady, 20, was chosen out of a pool of nine final candidates who each submitted essays and applications and underwent an in-person interview to convey their commitment to the nonprofit sector and potential for leadership.
As a Clark Foundation Fellow, Brady will receive financial support for graduate education, as well as programming aimed at helping him launch or advance his career in the nonprofit field. The Manhattan College Fellowship Committee, established by Provost Dr. Weldon Jackson and chaired by sociology professor Mary Ann Groves, assisted Brady in his application process. The Fellowship Committee was founded with the goal of grooming Manhattan students to apply for such awards and make students aware that these awards and fellowships exist.
A triple major in English, government and urban affairs, Brady hopes to study urban planning at New York University’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. An active participant in Manhattan College’s campus ministry and social action department, Brady already has built an impressive résumé in community work and volunteering. He has raised money for cancer research as part of American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life program and donned a Clifford the Big Red Dog suit to distribute books to local schools as part of First Book’s nationwide effort to provide children from low-income families with new books. For Brady, who started at Manhattan on the pre-law track, community-based work and social change is his passion, and he cannot imagine doing anything else.
“You can call me a change agent to society,” says Brady, who is spending his summer as a Brannigan Fellow and wrapping up an extensive research paper on gender and class. “I really love what I do. I don’t think my life [at Manhattan College] would be complete without doing community or volunteer work. Professors here have taught me that it’s not what you have in life that counts, it’s what you do with it in the end that is going to affect society.”
In the first year of his three-year fellowship, Brady will attend a leadership retreat and participate in a number of workshops that address practical issues related to graduate education and nonprofit employment. During the second and third year as a Clark Fellow, Brady will be required to work and attend graduate school at a New York City-based institution and in a program related to the nonprofit sector. He will be required to work at least 20 hours per week at a nonprofit organization. At that time, Brady will receive a grant of up to $30,000, which includes a salary stipend of $10,000 per year for two years. He also will receive up to $10,000 in scholarship support toward a master’s degree.
As a fellow, Brady hopes to work at The Enterprise Foundation. The nonprofit organization works in neglected communities nationwide and aims to establish better living conditions in those neighborhoods.

Dear John,
John Nason '52 reports on the death of Joseph Cole '82, son of Dick Cole '38 in the following mesage:
"Dick taught Phys. Ed. and coached JV basketball during
the 50s and became Alumni Director some years later. After he died, his
wife Rose. married one of Dick's close friends and Jasper classmates,
John Magovern, M.D. whose wife had passed away a few years earlier. (John Magovern died about 20 years ago.) Rose is a dear friend of
ours here in Garden City and over the years I've made her laugh many times by
reminding her of what she and my Jeanne have in common: they both married two
Manhattan men who were classmates and close friends on campus. We spoke to Rose
a few minutes ago who told us that the funeral would be in Massachusetts where
Joe and his family lived.
John"
I remember Dick well, he was a devoted Jasper and died too young.

HEADLINE: Principal hopes to be a quick study; Hoosick Falls New head of St.
Mary's Academy Jane E. Kromm looks to get to know
every student by name
BYLINE: Bob Gardinier; Staff Writer
Jane E. Kromm finds strong community bonds at her new job at a Catholic school in a remote corner of the Capital Region that is among those not losing students.
"This school is a big part of the little community here. I walk downtown and people are greeting me and saying hello. It's nice," said Kromm, the new principal at St. Mary's Academy. She has worked at three Catholic schools during her 24-year career.
When the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet opened the academy in the village in 1891, it had 600 students. This year, the enrollment is at 165, but the numbers have held steady for several years as other Catholic school populations have declined and some closed.
"Enrollment has actually increased the past couple of years," said Kromm, who debuted last week as principal.
The school teaches kids from nursery school age to 8th grade.
Kromm has no big plans to change anything. She has just one goal right now.
"I'm trying to get to know each child's name and I'm giving myself until Christmas to do it," she said. "First, I ask them if they know who I am and, if not, tell them, then ask their name."
Other than that, she said she wants to nurture the school's relationship with the community and find little ways to improve it.
Students come from Hoosick Falls, Cambridge, Hoosic Valley, Berlin, Brittonkill, Greenwich and Bennington, Vt. Tuition is between $2,674 and $3,064 per student annually, with a sliding scale for parents who have more than one child attending.
The original St. Mary's Academy on High Street educated children in grades kindergarten through 12. In 1956, the modern high school building around the corner on Parsons Avenue opened and grades nine through 12 were moved there. The Catholic high school closed in 1986 and the original building was vacated when the pre-K and elementary grades moved into the former high school building.
Village officials have said a buyer is interested in purchasing the long-abandoned and historic old school.
Kromm was principal at Cohoes Catholic School, which closed in June after the student population decreased to about 73. It had been open since 1860.
She likened that day in June to an Irish wake -- people celebrated life and the happy times rather than death.
"But it was still very difficult," Kromm said. "We tried to keep things upbeat for the kids but the ones in the upper grades were visibly upset in the last couple of days."
Kromm lives in Gansevoort. She started her career at St. Leo's School in Queens near Shea Stadium and also taught at St. Clement's in Saratoga Springs before moving to the Cohoes school.
She was certified as an Educational Administrator at the College of Saint Rose in Albany, received her master of education degree at St. John's University in Jamaica, Queens, and completed her undergraduate work at Manhattan College in Riverdale.

Rhinebeck Olympian Baird, 97, dies
By Pete Colaizzo Poughkeepsie Journal
George Baird, the oldest Olympic gold medalist, died Saturday in Rhinebeck at the age of 97. According to Baird's obituary in the Poughkeepsie Journal, he died at the home of his daughter, Bonnie Baird Mahal of Rhinebeck.
Baird was a member of the United States 1,600-meter relay team that took gold at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics. That team ran a world-record time of 3 minutes, 14.2 seconds, edging out Germany (3:14.8) and Canada (3:15.4) for the gold.
Baird's 1928 relay teammate, James Quinn, died in July at the age of 97. James Stillman Rockefeller, a gold-medal Olympic rower at the 1924 Paris Olympics, died in August at the age of 102, leaving Baird as the oldest surviving Olympic gold medalist at the time of his death.
Baird was part of a world-record performance in which each member of the team averaged a 400-meter split of 48.5 seconds. To put that performance in perspective, the 2004 New York State high school track champions in that event ran nearly six seconds slower -- DeWitt Clinton won in 3:20.08, which is an average of 50 seconds per 400-meter split.
And the Dutchess County high school record in the event is 3:21.0.
The 1928 record pales in comparison to the current world record (2:54.20, set by a United States team in 1998) and the 2004 Olympic gold-medal time of 2:55.91, run by the U.S. team of Otis Harris, Derrick Brew, Jeremy Wariner, Darold Williamson. However, considering the relatively archaic state of track and field more than 70 years ago, the standard Baird and his teammates set is extremely impressive.
''That's a great time, an excellent time,'' said long-time local track coach Joe Schatzle of Poughkeepsie. Schatzle, a world-class sprinter at Manhattan College, was ranked third in the world at 200 meters from 1950-1955. ''You have to remember those times were set on dirt tracks and cinder tracks.''
Lindy Remigino was Schatzle's Manhattan College teammate. Remigino, who remains close friends with Schatzle, won two gold medals at the 1952 Olympics -- in the 100-meter dash and as a member of the U.S. 400-meter relay. He echoed Schatzle's feelings about Baird's relay record run.
''The tracks that we ran on were made of dirt,'' said Remigino, who lives in Newington, Conn. ''Our spikes weighed close to 15 ounces. We left a hole in the track when we hit it with our feet. Today, with the plastic and rubberized surfaces, the tracks are so much faster than in our time.''
Baird, a former resident of Armonk in Westchester County, is listed as a member of the Circle of Olympians on the Web site for the New York City Olympic bid for 2012 ( www.nyc2012.com ). According to the Web site, the Circle of Olympians is comprised of more than 600 Olympians who either hail from or live in the New York area.
Remigino, who was born in 1931, said he had not heard of Baird. But given his accomplishments, he said he respected him as a fellow Olympic gold medalist. ''You've got to consider that all you can say about Olympians are that they were the best of their time,'' Remigino said.

September 08, 2004
When Michigan volleyball senior Jennifer Gandolph returned to Ann Arbor after last year's winter break, her nagging right shoulder injury had worsened. Surgery, Michigan coach Mark Rosen and doctors believed, was the best available option for one of the Wolverines' best players.
Gandolph - one of the Big Ten's most powerful outside hitters - dominated the court for three years because of her arm's flexibility and range of motion, which are the ingredients for difficult-to-return attacks. Doctors believed surgery would compromise that strength. Instead, it may have made her a better player.
Gandolph tore the labrum in her right shoulder from excessive use. The labrum is cartilage that acts as a shock absorber for the bones in the shoulder and cushions the impact as the bones grind together.
As an outside hitter, Gandolph routinely uses the labrum when she crushes a powerful kill. The labrum-tear is a mysterious ailment because there is no easy way to fix it. One method, Tommy John surgery, is often used by professional baseball players. Pitchers rarely regain full strength of their throwing motion and often are forced into retirement, but Gandolph isn't worried at all. She hasn't had any problems, other than the minor, expected side effects.
Some of those side effects have been beneficial.
"(Gandolph) came in and kind of had one shot and that was hard," said Rosen about the beginning of Gandolph's Michigan career. "Everything she did was hard. She hit the ball as hard as she could and was pretty successful at that as she was growing up. So, as the level (of volleyball) got higher, she had to learn more of the ins and outs of the positions and be a more savvy player. And really what her strengths are now, after the surgery, she really can't hit as hard anymore, but she is a much smarter player."
Rosen said that Gandolph has been forced to learn more of the intricacies of the outside-hitter position, one that largely determines the rhythm and flow of the team.
"(Outside hitters) are going to get balls in good situations, and you are also going to get balls in garbage situations," Rosen said. "So as an outside hitter, you have to make the best out of it. You have to always center the play. They have to be very intelligent with the choices they make. Everybody in the gym knows the ball will eventually get to them, and they have to make good choices."
Rosen likened the outside hitter to that of a pitcher who can't just dominate with one powerful pitch - the player must be able to show variety of ball movement and speed. And if the pitcher struggles, the team is apt to struggle as well. And Gandolph, like a pitcher, must be able to handle the spotlight.
"I like being able to change a game," Gandolph said. "I'm going to change it - good or bad. That's just what my role is, but I like having that role. I like people focusing on me, and like I beating them, knowing that they are focusing on me. It's fun that way."
Rosen said that Gandolph was the impetus for the weekend's record-setting performance against Manhattan in the Manhattan College Invitational, in which Michigan set a school record .525 hitting percentage. Gandolph appeared in top form, notching 12 kills and an individual hitting percentage of .611. She was named to the All-Tournament Team.
By the end of the season, Gandolph is expected to add two additional school records to her resume. She recently broke the all-time attempts record during last weekend's tournament and needs just 17 digs and 113 kills to break the school marks of 1,131 and 1,384, respectively, in those categories.
If she remains healthy - which her doctors and coaches expect - Rosen thinks this season can be her best.
"As she gets back to where she can bring the heat, she also now has this whole other side of the game that she has had to develop," Rosen said. "I think in some ways (the surgery) has made her a better player."

HEADLINE: BU cross country running on all cylinders to start year
BYLINE: By Nick Giglia, The Daily Free Press; SOURCE:
Boston U.
DATELINE: BOSTON
The Boston University men's and women's cross country teams were hardly running on empty on Friday, as each team started its season strong at Franklin Park.
The women's team enjoyed a great beginning to its season by finishing first head of rivals Northeastern University, the University of Rhode Island and Manhattan College in a quad meet. With the lower score winning, BU defeated Manhattan 15-50, Northeastern 14-47 and Rhode Island 20-37.
Senior Victoria Botticelli starred for the women's team. Botticelli, who didn't join the team until this fall, finished first overall in the 5,000-meter race in 18:21.
"Victoria only joined the team last January, and this was her first collegiate race," said BU coach Bruce Lehane. "It's very unusual to see someone win their first collegiate race."
Freshman Christine Laakso opened her collegiate career on the right foot by completing BU's one-two punch at the top. Laakso finished second in 18:26.
Sophomores Marisa Ryan and Abbey Sadowski also turned in strong performances, finishing fourth and sixth with times of 18:36 and 18:42, respectively. Senior Dina Mijuskovic completed the scoring for the Terriers, finishing ninth in 19:01.
Overall, Lehane said he was satisfied with the women's performance, and he is optimistic about the team's season.
"I think the women's team ran well," Lehane said. "It's promising for the future of the team.
"We thought Rhode Island would be a good barometer for the team," he added. "The meet at Van Cortlandt Park [in Bronx, N.Y. on September 24] will be another strong litmus test for the team."
With future challenges in store at the Iona Invitational, Lehane said some of his younger runners performed well in their first test of the season.
"The sophomores [Ryan and Sadowski] improved from where they were as freshmen," he said. "Overall, I think all runners will speed up as the season progresses."
Ryan also seemed happy with both the team's performance in the meet and its prospects for the upcoming year.
"Overall, I think everyone was very happy [with her performance]," Ryan said. "The best part of this team is that we have a lot of depth. I think we're all very confident right now. If we keep up the good work, we could win America East, and hopefully go beyond that."
The men's team also had an encouraging start to its season, finishing second in its tri-meet, ahead of Northeastern but behind Manhattan. The Terriers defeated Northeastern 18-43 but fell short against Manhattan -- which placed the race's top four finishers and had six runners finish in the top 10 -- by a score of 16-45.
BU had three runners in the top 10. Junior Mike Fisher finished first among the Terriers and fifth overall, completing the eight-kilometer course in 26:51. Sophomore Dan Sieckiewicz finished eighth at 27:03, while junior Phil Putis, who completed the course in 27:10 and finished 10th overall, rounded out the scoring for BU.
Coach Lehane said he was satisfied with the men's performance, given that this is a rebuilding year for the team.
"We knew it was going to be a developmental year on the men's side," Lehane said. "Our only returning runner [graduate student Dan Coval] broke his foot in August, so the group we have is inexperienced.
"We'll have to fight hard all season," he added.
Both teams will next race on Sept. 24 at the Iona Meet of Champions at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, N.Y.

SECTION: NIAGARA WEEK, Pg.NC5
HEADLINE: DOSS RALLIES GRIFFINS AFTER PLAYER'S DEATH/
BYLINE: Miguel Rodriguez; NIAGARA CORRESPONDENT
DATELINE: BUFFALO
Dewitt Doss knows all about lengthy healing processes.
He's already missed a season of basketball because of a broken foot and he missed the final nine games of the 2003-04 campaign after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee Feb. 1 in a loss at Manhattan College. But Doss hasn't been dealing with just his own medical rehabilitation process this off-season.
Doss, a 5-foot-10-inch point guard from Niagara Falls, has been providing strength for a Canisius College program that still is mourning the loss of Richard Jones, a junior forward on the team who died after collapsing during a workout May 5 at the Koessler Athletic Center.
While Doss has been rehabilitating his knee to the point where he's expected to be physically ready for the first practice of the season next month, he's also been helping his teammates become emotionally prepared to get past the loss of their teammate and friend.
"I was there when he first got there," said Doss, a graduate of LaSalle High School. "I kind of knew him before everyone did. You just have to remember the good times, think about how much fun you had."
The on-court good times usually involved Doss and Jones pushing each other during wind sprints in practice, where they routinely raced to one-two finishes.
"He was trying to make everybody better," the 22-year-old Doss said. "He was very fast, very athletic. He could run. I won most of the races on the team, but he was there most of the time. He beat me a couple of times."
While Doss has been helping his teammates with their grieving, he may have been the Griff affected the most by Jones' passing because he knew Jones the longest. Jones dined often with the Doss family in Niagara Falls after the two started hanging out with each other during the summer of 2001.
"We had to ask him to come home because it affected him that much," Doss' father, Dewitt, said. "They were like brothers to a degree. The whole team is like a family. They just felt like they lost one of their brothers during a course of the season. It's been affecting him a little mentally because he realized he and Rich were going to be the only seniors on the floor this year."
The loss of his friend put things into perspective for Doss.
"You lose somebody that young at that age, you have to think what the family is going through," Doss said. "I think it brought me back to reality because at first I was like, 'Man my knee. I don't know why it's happening to me.' And then your teammate passes away and he's 21 years old and there's no bouncing back from that. Me, I can always bounce back (from the injury) and I can still spend time with my family and do stuff. For him, there's no second chance."
"He's had a lot of things happen to him, and the way he's handled it, whether it was a broken foot, whether it was a torn (anterior cruciate ligament) or more tragically the death of a very close friend, he's handled it with class and is a great example to some of the other kids," Canisius coach Mike MacDonald said. "Dewitt's our oldest guy and he's our only senior. I think they see that and they use him as a resource."
Doss, who earned his degree in physical education last May and is now pursuing a master's degree in sports psychology and counseling, had surgery to repair his knee in February. He has since been cleared to run and play basketball. While Doss is expected to be on the court for the team's first official practice, the knee still is a source of concern.
While Doss has been playing ball every other day since receiving medical clearance, he admits he still doesn't feel like the player he was before the injury. The knee also swells up after he plays.
"It's definitely been harder (recovering from the knee injury) because when my foot broke, I was out three months and I was playing with no problem. I just had to get back a little strength and I was back to form. My knee is still sore. I feel pain. It's going to take a while to get back (my game)," he said.
"He's definitely worked very hard to get to this point," MacDonald said. "To go eight months would be a great recovery time, and that would take him right to Oct. 15, right around the first day of practice."
Doss is an on-court leader who believes it is his duty, regardless of health, to get into shape so that he can help Canisius return to contender status in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Canisius hasn't been a contender since Doss' freshman season, when the Golden Griffins lost in the MAAC Championship game to Iona, 74-67. Though Doss wasn't a starter on that team, he was the first guard off the bench and scored seven key points in 18 minutes of work in the MAAC semifinals against Siena.
"Playing in the MAAC Championship game, that stands out the most. There was so much excitement," he said. "That's what I want to get back to the most, just get back there and get a chance to win that game."
But there's additional motivation for returning to the big game this season. A title wouldn't ease the heartache of losing Jones, but it would be another way to honor the memory of a loved one.
"The season is definitely dedicated to Rich," Doss said. "We need to stay focused and win some games (for him)."
GRAPHIC: John Hickey/Buffalo News/ Dewitt Doss has brought the skills he developed at the defunct LaSalle High School in Niagara Falls to Canisius College, where he is entering his senior year.

... shutout. Last weekend, the Bulldogs defeated Manhattan College 3-0. "Yale
deserved to win," Sacred Heart head coach Joe Barroso
said. ...
Published Thursday, September 9, 2004
BY JESSICA NOTEBAERT
Call them "iron women."
The women's soccer team won its third game in five days Tuesday at the Soccer-Lacrosse Stadium, downing Constitution State rival Sacred Heart 1-0. The win boosted the Elis' record to 3-0 and marked their second consecutive shutout. Last weekend, the Bulldogs defeated Manhattan College 3-0.
"Yale deserved to win," Sacred Heart head coach Joe Barroso said. "They got themselves up for the game better than we did."
Such a close schedule of games is tiring for players, and Yale head coach Rudy Meredith acknowledged the effects of such a rigorous schedule on his team.
"It was one of those tough games -- we've played three games in five days and that's not the most ideal situation to perform at your peak," Meredith said.
Despite the unfavorable scheduling situation, the Bulldogs appeared anything but fatigued and sluggish. They dominated the Pioneers from the opening kickoff to the final whistle. An exceptional performance by the Yale defense limited Sacred Heart to just four shots on goal for the entire game, compared to Yale's 12.
Complementing the defense was an intense, well-organized offense led by midfielder Laurel Karnes '06 and forward Mimi Macauley '07. Both Meredith and his players agreed that the offense did a good job of controlling the ball and creating chances.
During the scoreless first half, the Bulldogs kept the pressure on the Pioneer defense and on sophomore goalkeeper Ashley Mocarski, who finished the afternoon with 11 saves. The Elis created many opportunities to score, and, according to coach Meredith, the inability of the Bulldogs to capitalize upon these opportunities is an issue that needs to be addressed.
"We need to convert more of our chances to score [in future games]," he said.
The single goal for the Bulldogs was scored in the 58th minute by defender Christina Huang '07. Huang, a returning starter and a 2003 All-Ivy, played on the defensive end for most of the game. During the second half, however, she moved forward and attacked the Sacred Heart defense with intensity, eventually hitting a long shot off an assist from Macauley.
Walker said she was extremely satisfied with Huang's performance.
"Christina [Huang] did well playing up," Walker said. "We needed a bit more strength, and she stepped up."
The Pioneers left New Haven with a record of 1-3. The loss was disappointing to Barroso.
"Our goalkeeper was outstanding," he said. "[But] a couple players I depend on didn't come through today. We have a young team, and we just need to learn."
The Bulldogs consider their first three wins preparation for an extremely demanding season, during which they will face soccer powerhouses Connecticut, Santa Clara and Princeton.
"We have a lot of big games coming up, and it's been nice to get a chance to play together and start with wins," Walker said.
The team plays again Friday at the Soccer-Lacrosse Stadium against the Connecticut Huskies, who are 1-2 on the season.

GIVE FROM THE HEART AND HELP THE HUNGRY
WITH THE PAMPERED CHEF
Maspeth, NY— Imagine not knowing if you can afford to buy groceries for your family, having to skip meals so your children can eat, or going to bed hungry night after night. Because this is a reality for over 35 million people in the U.S., The Pampered Chef, a Berkshire Hathaway company and the premier direct seller of high-quality kitchen tools, has partnered with America's Second Harvest, the nation's largest hunger relief charity, to help end hunger in America.
This year marks the 14th year of The Pampered Chef's Round-Up from the Heart charitable giving campaign. The campaign was created in 1991 to help eradicate hunger. From Aug. 1, 2004 to July 31, 2005, The Pampered Chef's nationwide sales field of 70,000 independent Kitchen Consultants promote the Round-Up campaign at Kitchen Shows nationwide. Customers may contribute to the Round-Up campaign in three ways.
Rounding-up Kitchen Show purchase totals to the
nearest dollar or more, with funds benefiting local food banks in the region
where donations originate.
Purchasing a limited edition Bountiful Heart collectible Stoneware mold for $8.50. For each mold purchased, The Pampered Chef donates $1 to the national office of America's Second Harvest for bulk procurement of food.
Purchasing a Stoneware Mold Holder for $20, $2 of which is donated to America's Second Harvest.
"Our ability to reach one in ten Americans in need is a direct result of concerned individuals that make campaigns like Round-Up from the Heart such a success," said Robert Forney, president and CEO of America's Second Harvest. "We are truly grateful to have found such wonderful friends at The Pampered Chef who have become champions of our mission to create a hunger-free America."
"After visiting various food banks, I've learned that 35 million Americans struggle to put food on the table for their families," said Julie Christopher, vice president and corporate spokesperson for The Pampered Chef. "Our company is doing what it can to significantly reduce those numbers by working with America's Second Harvest and its network of food banks across the country. Our goal is to set a place at the table for everyone."
The Pampered Chef has collected over $8.3 million since the campaign launched in 1991, thanks to the efforts of the company's independent Kitchen Consultants and their customers throughout the United States. These funds directly support America's Second Harvest and its network of local food banks, making this a national campaign with local impact.

Dear John,
I would like to extend to you and to all Manhattan Men an invitation to the Annual Manhattan College Businessmen's Retreat. It will be held at the Cardinal Spellman Retreat House, which is located just South of Mt Saint Vincent, overlooking the Hudson. This years theme is Amazing Grace. Each Speaker will take a stanza of the Hymn as the topic for his talk. The Retreat starts at 6 PM on Friday Sept 24th and ends with Mass at 11 AM on Sunday Morning, Sept 26. We expect about 60 men to attend this year. The suggested donation is $165 for the weekend which includes a private room and all meals. If you or any other Men are interested, please contact my brother Ed <privacy invoked> c/o Jottings.
This is a great opportunity to break away from the everyday pressures of daily life and take stock of where we are going with our lives.
We
would love to see you,
Best,
Mike

FYI:
It's Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island & THE Bronx.
I was told many years ago that the "The" in The Bronx relates to the Bronx being the only borough of NYC which is part of the mainland USA.

The U.S. Department of Education, created as a political payoff to the National Education Association by former President Jimmy Carter, is a sewer for taxpayers’ money and ought to be abolished outright. Since then, although a few politicians – notably former President Ronald Reagan – have paid sporadic lip service to abolishing this useless organization, most have pushed for additions to its budget in order to curry favor with NEA members at election time.
With a budget that was at $35.7 billion in fiscal year 2001, the Bush Administration, in league with Sen. Ted Kennedy, has managed to push up that total to a whopping $64.3 billion proposed for fiscal year (fy) 2005, an increase of over 80% in just four years! Actual spending for the current fy 2004 will total $62.8 billion.
Instead, the whole department should be abolished, saving taxpayers $62.8 billion in the next fiscal year and even higher amounts in out-years.
Apparently most Americans are either too stupid and/or too emotional to see through the "Public Edu-Scam" being perpetrated on them by the NEA and its lickspittles.
In private industry, a worker earns higher pay by being more productive, that is, by turning out more product or output for his or her employer with the same level of effort. And that output is generally of the same or higher quality that is consistent with consumer demands, and consumers freely purchase the product or service.
Public education is totally different. First of all, citizens are forced to pay for it via taxes, based upon the dubious notion that what economists call "positive externalities" or "positive social benefits" accrue to society, and not just the individual, from a person receiving an education. What this phony positive externality argument suggests is that left to the private sector, individuals would not invest enough in their own or their children’s education and that there is a rationale for government intervention in the market for education. What the public education lobby claims is that all of us benefit from being taxed to educate even dumb, intellectually lazy or incorrigible students, and that some vague benefits accrue to the rest of society from pouring ever-increasing amounts of taxpayer funds down this rathole; that is, into a bad investment.
That these so-called benefits are never quantified in a rigorous manner should make one suspect whether any such claimed benefits even exist. And that is the only rationale for the forced taxpayer provision of education. There are certainly no other rational economic arguments for the forced provision of public education. It makes one wonder how the U.S. and other developed nations made such tremendous economic and social progress prior to the creation of massive public school bureaucracies.
Add to that the nonsense about classroom size and the rest of the education babble that is used to snow taxpayers into ponying up more good money on top of bad money. It seems that public education is one of the main areas where a worker gets a raise for turning out fewer products (a lower level of students per teacher via smaller classroom sizes) and of a lower quality (look at the drop in SAT scores prior to the recent rigging of the SAT numbers to make recent test takers look more intelligent).
And look at pay levels for those teaching in private K-12 schools versus those in the public school establishment. Private teachers on average earn less money than public school teachers, but it is common knowledge that children in private schools get a better education, on average, than those in public schools. Thus, it is readily apparent that public school teacher pay levels have little, if anything, to do with the quality of a child’s education, contrary to what the NEA and edu-crats at all levels of government claim.

Yup, the “GOVERNMENT” will "educate" you, your children, and your neighbor's children! What do you think they will be taught? Self-reliance. The American dream. Too think for themselves. No, we'll be lucky if they come out able to read. Thanks to Horace Mann. And some unknown Prussian social engineer, they'll come out regimented, ready for the "army". Firmly convinced that their "self-esteem" makes them too good for McD's. Sigh. When will the sheep wake up?
And that’s the last word.
