FLASH! Important info received after the deadline
Late in the edit cycle, Microsoft Office took an error in the document. There was not enough time to fix it and the format break may be unnoticeable to the reader. Not having gone completely “anal retentive”, I’m accepting my human limitations and sending it out with the break in it. Any one who objects, please apply for the Saturday morning job of copy editor. ;-) I thought so. Hearing no objections and receiving no applications, I’ll move on to web page production.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/01/23 /sex.workers/index.html?eref=rss_mostpopular Girl, 6, embodies Cambodia's sex industry POSTED: 5:00 a.m. EST, January 26, 2007 By Dan Rivers CNN {Begin Quote} • More than 1 million children in global sex trade each year, U.S. State Dept. says • 50,000 to 100,000 women and children involved in Cambodia's sex industry • Gang rape, AIDS, torture afflict the women and children in this field PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (CNN) -- At an age when most children might be preparing for their first day of school, Srey, 6, already has undergone trauma that is almost unspeakable. She was sold to a brothel by her parents when she was 5. It is not known how much her family got for Srey, but other girls talk of being sold for $100; one was sold for $10. Before she was rescued, Srey endured months of abuse at the hands of pimps and sex tourists. (Watch where freed girl is found upon reunion with reporter Video) Passed from man to man, often drugged to make her compliant, Srey was a commodity at the heart of a massive, multimillion-dollar sex industry in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. {End Quote} Humanity should be ashamed of itself for not protecting our own. We are the world. If our attentions were not diverted we would see man’s inhumanity to our fellow men as the problem to be solved. It’s sad. If I knew someone supporting this “freedom”, then I would shun them as the pervert. An outlaw. Slavery is despicable. Sex slavery is even lower. Sex slavery of children is just about the bottom rung.
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless. "Collector-in-chief" John reinke--AT—jasperjottings.com

Manhattan College To Present Art Exhibit By The Riverdale Art Association
Works include oil paintings, photographs and drawings.

RIVERDALE, N.Y. –A collection of works of art by the Riverdale Art Association will go on display at Manhattan College’s O’Malley Library beginning Thursday, Feb. 1. The exhibit, which will run until April 30, will open with a reception in the library’s Alumni Room at 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 1.

Sponsored by the College’s archives department, the exhibit features more than 70 works of art created by 18 members of the Riverdale Art Association. The artwork includes oil paintings, watercolors, photographs, drawings, ceramic stoneware and mixed media pieces focusing on diverse subjects. Visually stimulating and creatively distinct, the artwork is both inspiring and unique.

The Riverdale Art Association (RAA) was established in 1999 by a small group of local artists for the purpose of exhibiting, selling their artwork and sharing information about art in all its forms. The founders of the RAA initially came together to share their artistic talents, thus inspiring the establishment of a formal, organized group with the purpose of continuing to learn about various artistic techniques, visiting other artists and museums and exploring art-inspiring environs.

In addition to Manhattan College, the RAA has exhibited its works at the Riverdale Neighborhood House, the Elizabeth Seton Library at the College of Mount Saint Vincent, the Riverdale Atria and the 86th street Atria in New York City.

The exhibit will be housed on the fifth floor and in the Alumni Room of O’Malley Library. For more information, please contact Amy Surak, Manhattan College archivist, at (718) 862-7139.

The Manhattan College Archives sponsors various exhibitions at O’Malley Library throughout the year. The Archives was established to collect, preserve and make available materials relating to the history of Manhattan College.

Manhattan College is located at West 242nd Street near Broadway in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, one mile from the Westchester County line and accessible by MTA subway line 1.

Founded in 1853, Manhattan College is an independent, Catholic, coeducational institution of higher learning offering more than 40 major programs of undergraduate study in the areas of arts, business, education, engineering and science, along with graduate programs in education and engineering. For more information about Manhattan College, visit www.manhattan.edu.

Hello John! Inspired by your plea to find 8 other Jasper parents, I wanted to joyfully announce that my husband, Michael Martin and I (both class of `98) had a baby boy last May. Liam Michael joins his 2 year old sister Caitlin Anne. Liam's godfather is my brother Sean Kelly (`03). Sean and his wife Michele welcomed their first child, Victoria Rose on October 28, 2006.

Dear MM76:

Excellent, but to replace the supply of Jaspers, we need to increase "our" "output" even more. Like the Communist five year plans we need to redouble our redoubled efforts. I understand that there is secret research in the Engineering Building aimed at allowing 9 women to output the product in one month. The ChemE's are trying to extract the scent that attracts women; I understand it's a blend of money and sweat with a dash of panache. The Arts School is debate the ethics of higher production while the Business skool tries to figure out how to monetize it. The is a more important problem than global cooling/warming. And, ...

Seriously great news. Always nice to see bundles of joy arrive. For some reason, it makes me cheerful. As you can tell, I get a little punchy on Sunday mornings when I begin again the process of assembling the next issue. It's more fun when I do a little each day. And, avoid the "death march" when I leave it all to the end of the week. The obits are the hardest. I always feel like our fellow alums have left with the "answer". ;-)

So, how do we get 8 Jasper births per week? Send everyone graduating a supply of oysters? Or just trust in the Divine Providence that it'll all work out? It all up to you youngsters. ;-)

Curmudgeon's social security checks depend upon it. :-) I'll ask Jasper Helm's what the French Archers would think about the problem.

Fjohn68

{JR: Wow, I should add up the number of obits last year and compare it to the number of births. I’d guess we’re not replacing ourselves fast enough. Duh, that what the grayification problem is all about. Hmmm. }

Hi John,

Just read you plea for info on new baby Jaspers. Although this is a bit delayed my wife and I (Adrienne Zeh Brewer - Chemical Engineering 1991 and Howard Brewer - Mechanical Engineering 1991) had a son, Anthony Francis, 10 months ago, on March 30, 2006. Add that to your list of Baby Jaspers please!

Thanks,
Howie Brewer

{JR: Done. Thanks. Now I am expect your output to be one every March for the next 20 years. By then you should be exhausted, broke, and crazed. ;-) If I can get nine women to make one per month. Maybe I can get 52 Jaspers to make one a year. This from the guy with no kids! No wonder I’m an expert. :-) This is more fun than the obits though! }

Dear John,

At the Wake Friday Night at Williams, and at the Mass on Saturday in the Chapel, there was a great out pouring of expressions of love and affection for Al.

He taught Business Law and Accounting at Manhattanfor over 45 years, he was a practicing attorney for nearly 53 years, a father of 3 Jaspers and a devoted Husband. He was one of the most liked teachers on campus. He always had a smile or a joke (some good) and was ready to help anyone in need - be it a student, a new faculty member or an Alum. Many came to him with their legal problems and he always gave them direction to help solve the problem.

Fr. Jack Cullinane was the celebrant, at the well attended Mass, and Bill Mechmann, Esq.'49 was the Minister of the Eucharist. Bro. Bill Batt spoke on behalf of the College, a grand-daughter and his son Robert, '80 delivered a very warm and detailed (and well delivered) tribute to his father and her grandfather.

He was a great asset to Manhattan who will be missed by many.

May He Rest In Peace.
Mike McEneney, Esq.'53

{JR: Sounds like he’s leaving some big shoes. Father of THREE? You only reported two. I didn’t notice that until I was doing the Saturday edits. Fr. Jack Cullinane is ’51. ;-) See I’m trying to emulate your memory.}

He especially enjoyed his time piloting both the trusted C-47 Gooney Bird and B-52 Strategic Bomber and was recognized for his efforts with the Distinguished Flying Cross. He later continued his flying career piloting for Mid-Atlantic for a number of years and will be remembered as someone who loved his time chasing clouds. He will also be remembered as an individual who enjoyed his free time reading, writing, cooking exotic foods, photography, scuba diving and traveling to distant countries to meet new friends with a beer in hand and an Irish melody on his lips. Mike is survived by his children: Jim and Jodi Fleming of Rapid City, SD; Paul Fleming of Denver, CO; John Fleming of Rapid City; Michael and Nancy Fleming of McLean, VA; and Mike Anh Quan Fleming of Pasadena, TX. His grandchildren include Brandon Fleming, Carmen Fleming, both of Rapid City, SD; and Anthony Fleming of Pasadena, TX; and his sister, Patricia Cunningham, Hopewell Junction, NY.

'Large town or small city?'

The civic leader who started the MetroCentre more than a quarter-century ago challenged a crowd of business officials Wednesday night to change the community's mind-set.

Doug Logan, a construction manager and concert promoter whose forceful personality brought the downtown arena to life in the midst of the worst economic downturn of a generation, spoke at the Rockford Chamber of Commerce annual dinner in Giovanni's Restaurant and Convention Center.

Asked to take a break from his New York consulting firm to deliver the keynote address, Logan launched into a 45-minute speech peppered with humorous anecdotes, but punctuated by calls for drastic action from the more than 725 businesspeople in attendance.

"One of the fundamental questions that has been asked of Rockford for over a century is what are you?" Logan said. "Are you a large town or a small city? This is a discussion of the community's psyche that goes back nearly 100 years. ... If you accept as I do ... that Rockford is a small city, then you must face the fact that you are engaged in the modern-day equivalent of the Peloponnesian wars."

Referring to the clash of ancient Greek city-states, Logan said Rockford must compete with similar-sized cities for 25- to 40-year-old professionals to ensure its future vitality because the bulk of the current work force -- baby boomers -- will be retiring in the next decade.

And since this demographic group is more attracted by Wi-Fi hot spots and bicycle shops than low tax rates and affordable housing, its recruitment will require a shift of Rockford's philosophy to nurture the creative class, foster environmentally friendly policies and seek diverse residents, including immigrants, Logan said.

"If you do not engage in an aggressive campaign to make your city attractive to this generation, I will assure you will experience a gradual but steady decline in business," Logan said.

Ever the wide-eyed visionary -- his 1984 proposal to harvest electricity from the Fordam Dam to power the fledgling MetroCentre was mocked -- Logan knew his latest ideas might attract naysayers. But he proposed a raft of new "green" initiatives and even a marketing effort to bring in the best unskilled laborers from Mexico and South America.

"You have a choice to get on the globalism bus or not, and globalism and immigration are inexorably intertwined," Logan said. "Like it or not, the effects of what I'm talking about are right here in the River City."
