For young seminarian, a joy without restraint
BYLINE: BOB BRAUN, STAR-LEDGER STAFF
SECTION: NEWS; Pg. 1
DATELINE:
Steven Woltornist, just 18 but already wearing a Roman collar, said he came to St. Patrick’s Cathedral to see a man who derived joy from the priesthood.
The young seminarian found that joy first in the words, then in the eyes, of Pope Benedict XVI. Joy and much more.
“It’s so strange,” said the young man from Branchburg. “And hard to explain. But I felt overwhelmed - over-whelmed with excitement and, somehow, overwhelmed with courage.”
{Extraneous Deleted}
Although he said he did “feel the call” in high school, he
also loves science and is double majoring in chemistry and philosophy at
“I thought about it a lot, and I am still thinking about it.”
He recalled the moment when, enrolling in the seminary, he was given a Roman collar to wear.
“I looked in the mirror and I felt really strange. I remember saying to myself, `You’ll be wearing that for a long time, you know.’”
Yesterday, after seeing the eyes of Benedict XVI and hearing his words, Steven Woltornist said, “I am comfortable in the collar.”

This old coach has a heart of gold
BYLINE: Pete Colaizzo
SECTION: SPORTS; Pg. 8C
They warned me. The guys that I worked with in the sports department at the Poughkeepsie Journal back in late 1980s, they told me not to mess with Old Man Schatzle. Don’t cross him. Don’t bug him. He’s a grumpy old man, they said; he’ll eat you for lunch, they admonished.
Back in that spring so many years ago, I was assigned to
write a story on the Conference I track championships. I was to do what we call
a “phone separate,” meaning I had to craft the story after getting the results
and doing interviews over the telephone. Only it was a rainy day. Track meets
rarely get rained out, and so it was the only thing on the high school slate.
The phone lines would be quiet. The editor said I could go down to
Upon arriving, I did not do as instructed. I went up to
Hmm. The guys were right. I wasn’t the most assertive young reporter back then; I had been put in my place. So I went to get a slice of pizza, drove back to the office and contemplated my next move. In a few hours, I would have to work the phones and write the story. No big deal.
A few hours later, the phone rang. It was an internal ring. The Old Man was downstairs. He had results of the meet. I practically broke out in a cold sweat.
I went downstairs and let him in. He had two big oak-tag sheets with the complete results. He brought them upstairs with me, waited while I typed them in. As I typed them in, I started asking questions.
The 3,200-meter winner, what was his mile split, I wondered? I’m a distance guy, so I immediately gravitate toward these events. Coach Schatzle described each race that I asked about in detail. Then he asked: “Hey, are you a track man?” I told him my running background, which of course paled in comparison to the former world-class sprinter in my presence.
A bond had been forged. We were both “track men.” We talked the talk. The results were typed in. Now it was time to write the story. Only Coach Schatzle wanted to tell me about his days as a Manhattan College Jasper. He wanted to tell me about all the great runners he coached through the years. I listened intently. This was great stuff! But I was on deadline. Politely, I had to excuse myself to write the story.
I escorted the Old Man down the elevator and out of the building. Upon returning to the Sports Room, I was met with stunned colleagues. I had gotten through to the Old Man! Schatzle likes him, they marveled.
Like many older guys, behind that gruff exterior was -and still is - a warm-hearted storyteller. I talked to him fre-quently during the ensuing years for track stories. I went to his retirement party 15 years ago, a star-studded affair with 1952 Olympic gold medalist Lindy Remigino - his old Jasper sprint-mate - in attendance. Track stories were told deep into the night.
After his retirement, we shared several bus trips to New York Yankees games with mutual friends. I always sat near the front, heard him tell more of the same track stories. As a certified track geek, I soaked it up. He is a true living history of the sport.
And now, all these years later, many of his former athletes
are honoring him. On Saturday, April 26, a plaque will be dedicated to Coach
Joe Schatzle for his 30-plus years of dedicated
coaching in the
Talk to these former athletes - many of them old men themselves, now - and they’ll mention how Coach Schatzle was a “second father” to them. They’ll come back to honor the Old Man next week.
Kudos to Frank Puzio (RCK, Class of 1966) for organizing this. All too often, ceremonies like this are done after the honoree has passed on. Better to recognize greatness while it is still in our midst. Long may he run.

Recruiting men to the priesthood
The Archdiocese of New York’s has a new message for those who are considering (or might be willing to consider) the priesthood: “The World Needs Heroes”. The web site is actually pretty impressive.
And, although the emphasis is not exactly what I had in mind when I said the Church needed to emulate the US Marines, there are images on this site that make it clear that they’re thinking along those lines. The Church needs tough guys to be priests.
The home page of the site shows a priest leading the prayers over the coffin draped in a FDNY flag.
I still think that there has to be more of an emphasis on
toughness in the seminary program and they could do worse than have a look at

If you really want to reduce your dependence on fossil fuels and your generation of green house gas, then PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!
I just switched to a provider that will get 100% of my electricity usage from wind and small local hydroelectric sources for $15 per month. HOWEVER, switching your light bulbs to the compact fluorescent models which use ~ 1/4 of the electricity and last up to 5 years will more than pay for the fee.
Visit http://www.njcleanenergy.com/renewable-energy/programs/cleanpower-choice-program/start-today/start-today to find out how you can switch some or all or your electricity to renewable sources for $5-$15 per month.
Although this site is for NJ residents,many of the linked energy producers service other areas too.
NOTE- the compact fluorescent bulbs contain a small amount of mercury and need to be recycled, not thrown away. Our county waste facility takes them during household hazardous waste day.
