2013-Jul-07JNEWS: Blaine, Royal B. [MC1950 RIP]http://www.silive.com/obituaries/index.ssf/2013/07/royal_blaine_89.htmlRoyal Blaine, 89 Print By Staten Island Advance on July 07, 2013 at 6:13 AM, updated July 07, 2013 at 6:15 AM STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Royal B. Blaine, 89, of New Dorp, a lifelong Staten Islander and proud World War II veteran, died Thursday in Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze. Born on Staten Island, Mr. Blaine lived in Castleton Corners before moving to New Dorp 40 years ago. After graduating from St. Peter's Boys High School in New Brighton, he attended Manhattan College. Mr. Blaine worked as a banker for Chemical Bank in Manhattan, retiring in 1983. A highly decorated World War II veteran, he served in the U.S. Marines and was a member of the Marine Corps League. He was awarded the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. A member of the Art Students League, he was an avid artist who painted, drew and sculpted, and his work has been displayed in exhibits on and off Staten Island. He also enjoyed playing the piano and dining out. "An Iwo Jima survivor, who died on Independence Day, he fought gallantly for his country and was a proud veteran," said his daughter, Allison Hughes. She also noted how she and her father took a painting class together, in which Tony Bennett was a student as well. "Mr. Blaine was a very talented painter and portrait specialists and his office was filled with impressive canvasses of random co-workers that agreed to pose for him in their free time," said Ann Esther Sprizzo, a longtime family friend. "He was a lovely, gentle-hearted person who was beloved by all who made his acquaintance." His son, Jeffrey, died in 1953. In addition to his daughter, Allison, surviving are his companion of 43 years, Maria Conti; two sons, Steven and Matthew; three more daughters, Donnie Giordano, Annesther Hatzipetros and Johnna Bolka; a sister, Lee, and eight grandchildren. The Matthew Funeral Home, Willowbrook, is handling the arrangements, which includes a mass at 10:45 a.m. on Monday in St. Teresa's R.C. Church in Castleton Corners. Burial will follow in St. Peter's Cemetery, West Brighton. # - # - # Blaine, Royal B. [MC????

Sydney had turned on a great Sunday on the last week-end of Autumn and illiards decided to turn the hospitality and his barbecue. The least I could do was raid The Cantina’s fridge for a few uniques to sample. We were joined by the always loquacious Fergus – whose appeared more than once on these pages. First cab off the rank was the latest offering from Stone & Wood. If this doesn’t finish in the top 20 of Hottest 100 beers contest in 2013 – then I’m a poor judge. This is a ripper in all respects. The colour is particularly fine. According to beer label hyperbole, the colour is reminiscent of the red volcanic soil of the Byron Bay hinterland. The boys are well read, because “Jasper” means “a compact, opaque, cryptocrystalline variety of quartz, usually colored red” – didn’t know that!. This is a beer to be savoured. It’s wonderfully malty, almost earthy to start with a subtle but growing hoppy finish at the end. I’ve seen this on tap as well, and I hope that this gets into more than a few pubs. Could be a go-to beer. In sort of related trivia, the team name for the Manhattan College is the Jaspers. They’re named after Brother Jasper – a legendary figure from their early days – who is credited with creating baseball’s 7th inning stretch – there you go. *** end quote *** [JR: I don't know why Google thinks this is a current story.

2013-Jul-09PRAYERSREQUESTED: Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) has two more needs for our prayersGood Morning All,I have two prayer requests to ask of you. Please keep in your Prayers Fellow Jasper and dear friend of mine (for whom we have prayed) Tom Philbin. The MDs indeed discovered cancer in a small part of his Intestines. It seems it has not metastasized. One or two smaller issues have had to be dealt with and Tom will go in for Surgery, on Wednesday, 7/10/13 with no expected complications. Tom is in good spirits as we pray that all goes as we would wish. Please keep Tom, his wife Susan and their children in your prayers. Our Son Scott and his Fiance, Melissa Owens, will be married at a Destination Wedding in San Juan, Puerto Rico, July 14, 2013. They heard this past week from the Parish from which their Priest comes in San Juan that their Priest, Father Angel, has taken seriously ill and will not be available. His illness, there have been several episodes, stems from the fact that Father Angel spent several years in a wheel chair paralyzed from the waist down. Persistent back/spinal problems have been a side effect. Through prayer, his Trust in God and force of will, Father overcame his disability and ministers in a parish in Puerto Rico. I have met this holy and good man on two occasions, he is an inspiration. He needs our prayers. An aside, through the efforts of cousins of mine who work in the States but reside in Puerto Rico and Florida, another Priest has stepped into the Breach and Scott & Melissa have met him before as well. Thank you. God Bless. Phil Colon Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) # - # - # - # - # 2013-Jul-09 @ 10:49 |

2013-Jul-13ADMINISTRIVIA: @tswift13 will make this week's issue late #tswift #tswift13This week's issue will go out Sunday morning.Yes, I finally have a life. My ex-neice-in-law gave me Taylor Swift concert tickets for tonight's show. I'll be the fat old white guy injineer singing along with all the teeny, tweeny, and teen girls. Laff! (Have to stay young someway. And, @tswift13 is excellent role model in a "Secular Progressive" society.) So, I'm out for fun. Last time I went to show like this was back in the folk singing 60's. Although I did see one of PPM's last shows at George Mason University. (Mary Travers, RIP) I think Tay is this generation's folk singer and poetess laureate. And, a very charitable person. Interesting to me is how she has transitioned from strictly country to country / pop / teen. While growning to womanhood. Soft of like Shirley Temple Black. Any way. Look for the weekly issue tomorrow. Maybe I'll get an autograph. Laff. If for some reason I get a gold wrist band, I'll pass it to one of the youngsters. What would I say to her? "Good job"! # - # - # - # - # 2013-Jul-13 @ 10:00 |

A summer league features four teams and draws good crowds to Pueblo's baseball fields. An annual all-star game held at Isotopes Park attracts thousands of fans, pitting players from tribes across New Mexico. There are five Ohkay Owingeh players representing the North this year. "It's fun," Bryce Gabaldon, one of the all-stars, said. "In our league you can actually play father-son ball." Gabaldon and his father both play for the San Juan Eagles. "I always wanted to play against my dad so I could strike him out," Gabaldon said. "We ended up on the same team." Agoyo and State Representative Nick Salazar (D-Ohkay Owingeh), who is the father of present Ohkay Owingeh Governor Earl Salazar, both played baseball in the 1950s at San Juan. Agoyo used his skill on the diamond to earn a scholarship to Manhattan College in New York City. "I saw Don Larsen pitch his perfect game in the (1956) World Series," he said. *** end quote *** Agoyo, Herman [MC1958] # - # - # - # - # 2013-Jul-13 @ 10:26 |

2013-Jul-13ENDNOTE: And you say there is no anti-Catholic bias?http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/140751.htmlJuly 1, 2013 Killing Catholic Priests Now is Acceptable Posted by Bill Anderson on July 1, 2013 11:28 AM *** begin quote *** About 30 years ago, the Reagan administration was giving support to forces in Central America that ostensibly were fighting against Marxist takeovers, and a lot of people -- and especially Liberal Democrats -- protested this support because Catholic priests often were the targets of these "anti-communists." The 1980 murder of a number of American Catholic nuns, the murder of Archbishop Oscar Romero in El Salvador (also in 1980) and the targeting of other priests galvanized opposition to U.S. policy in that region. *** end quote *** Say what you want, but "Catholics" are being suppressed at "home" by the "Secular Progressive" and "overseas" by Muslim jihadists. And, yet folks say we're "free". Sheeple and Clovers! # - # - # - # - # |
