POSITRACTION: Nicholas Winton, a British hero of the Holocaust
2015-Jul-19
Accidental Talmudist
July 2 at 8:31pm · Edited ·
Nicholas Winton, a British hero of the Holocaust, died yesterday
at the age of 106. Prime Minister David Cameron said, "We must
never forget Sir Nicholas Winton's humanity in saving so many
children from the Holocaust."
Nicholas was born to Jewish parents who had emigrated from
Germany. Anxious to fit into British society, the family converted
to Christianity and Nicholas was baptised.
In 1938, Nicholas was a young London stockbroker planning a skiing
vacation in Switzerland. He received a call from a friend asking
him to help rescue Jewish children who were in danger of Nazi
deportation. Nicholas cancelled his vacation and got to work.
At the time, Jewish refugee children were allowed to enter
Britain, but Dutch border guards were sending them back to
near-certain death in Germany. Nicholas worked the system, and his
connections, to gain official permission to bring the children
through the Netherlands.
With the help of his mother, Nicholas placed the children in
appropriate homes. He advertised widely seeking host families.
Nicholas found homes in Britain for 669 Jewish children. Most of
their parents died in Auschwitz.
After the war, Nicholas got married, had three children, and
settled in Maidenhead, England. He told nobody about his heroic
wartime actions.
In 1988, Winton’s wife Grete found a scrapbook in the attic
containing lists of children, including their parents' names and
the names and addresses of the families who took them in.
Nicholas was featured on a British television show later that
year. The producers planned a surprise for him. Seated in the
studio audience, Nicholas learned on camera that everybody around
him owed their life to him.
In 2002, Winton was knighted in recognition of his work on behalf
of refugee children.
Today we proudly honor Sir Nicholas Winton as this week's Thursday
Hero at Accidental Talmudist.
See the video of Nicholas and the people who owe their lives to
him: https://youtu.be/rQzqfsgftBo
# - # - # - # - #
I admire these héros.
I especially admire that he made it “no big deal”.
I hope that if my turn to do something heroic that I can measure
up.
This is a stunning story worth remembering.

COMMENT: Trynosky, Stephen K. (MC1968)
2015-Jul-19SK Trynosky Sr. Manhattan '68 commented on ENDNOTE: Moore, William 'Bill' [MC1977] on SCOTUS Gay Marriage Decision
2015-Jul-07 http://www.beaufortobserver.net/Articles-NEWS-and-COMMENTARY-c-2015-07-06-278700.112112-A-rational-look-at-the-SCOTU …
I believe two states actually voted for gay marriage. the other 35 had it imposed. So, it is basically a judicial fiat issued by an oligarchy (the courts). . It is to say the least a stretching of the Constitution giving the 14th amendment far more latitude than intended. The same argument can and probably will be used at a future date for polygamy and based on this precedent probably should be. As a conservative, you should be concerned with misuse of the language. Law of the land, to those of us educated at an earlier time would indicate something that worked its way through the legislature, the proper mechanism for passing a law. An out of wack court or president exceeding his Constitutional authority cannot in a Constitutional democracy be considered to be the "law" of the land rather, it is an order of the government. All the issues you raised, benefits, inheritance, visitation etc could have and probably would have been dealt with through the simple expedient of civil union. In many states that did not pass legislation on gay marriage, they already were.
As was pointed out with tongue in cheek by a conservative commentator a few weeks ago. Do you trust the same people who would bankrupt a bakery, photographer, a Pizza joint NOT to go after a church? Open your ears. The calls are there already. Any organization receiving any so called "benefit" from the government or administering a program funded by the government is subject to lose either or both. You know it is true whether or not you keep your head buried in the sand as we are "fundamentally" transformed.

Summer nights bring athletes to Westchester Track & Field Series
Dan Reiner, dreiner@lohud.com 4:10 p.m. EDT July 17, 2015
*** begin quote ***
The 55-year-old decathlete
Many athletes can point to a specific memory that inspired them to pursue their sport. For Nick Mitchell, it was watching Bruce Jenner win the decathlon at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.
Mitchell, entering his ninth year as track and field coach at Archbishop Stepinac High School, didn’t run a race until his sophomore year at Manhattan College. After college, he began to fine-tune his skills, focusing on the decathlon events. He went on to win gold medals in five summer Empire State Games in the event.
At age 55, he knows he won’t reach any personal best times or distances at this point in his career, but he sets “realistic” goals for himself before each Twilight Series season. He uses the meets to continue his decathlon career, often completing all ten events in just a few hours. At one meet a few years ago, Mitchell completed a whopping 16 events.
“I want to go with people of my ability. I don’t care if they’re 15 or 40 or 80,” he said. “I think it’s great that we have athletes of all different abilities here competing at their highest level.”
The Westchester Summer Twilight Track & Field Series is operated in conjunction with the Town of Cortlandt Recreation Department and the Taconic Road Runners Club. Want to compete?

Thank you for the posting of the inaugural speech of Dr. Gerardo Janairo that quoted my uncle Br. C. Luke Salm, FSC. Without the assistance of Br. Luke neither myself nor quite a few other members of our family would have been able to receive the fine education we did from Manhattan College. It was nice to hear that his words are still being heeded. His Book "The Work is Yours", a biography of St. John Baptiste De La Salle, is now required reading for all upper level positions at Manhattan by order of the current president Dr. Brendan O'Donnell.

GEORGE COMAS
Obituary
COMAS--George Andrew,
was surrounded by family when he passed away peacefully on July 18, 2015, the day of his 77th birthday.
Born in the Bronx to Frank Komatsulakis and Alexia Valakis, George demonstrated a keen intelligence early on at Stuyvesant High School. He graduated Manhattan College in 1958 then later served stateside in the Army during the Korean War.
George began his career as a financial advisor at White Weld, which later was purchased by Merrill Lynch in 1978. At Merrill, he was a member of the Circle of Champions, an elite group of high-producing financial advisors. George's long and distinguished career spanned more than three decades before he retired from Merrill Lynch in 2003.
For all his professional successes, what defined George was the joyous way in which he lived life. He treated each day as a celebration, something to be enjoyed and savored until well after sunset. While his gracious nature and good humor were shared with everyone he met, it was his beloved family and friends who were most precious to him.
A passionate fitness enthusiast, George never let injury hold him back or dampen his spirit. No matter the challenges he faced, George's motto was that he was "Livin' the dream." From Miami to Manhattan to Southampton, George espoused this positive view, serving as an inspiration to everyone he met. The legacy George leaves behind bears the indelible imprint of the life he lived. He taught everyone that happiness is a choice, and life should always be lived to the fullest.
He was the beloved father of Frank, Claire, Iris and John, and adored grandfather, or Geeg, to Lily, Caroline and Charlie.

ENDNOTE: Everything you think you know about addiction is wrong
2015-Jul-25http://www.ted.com/talks/johann_hari_everything_you_think_you_know_about_addiction_is_wrong?
Filmed June 2015 at TEDGlobalLondon
Johann Hari: Everything you think you know about addiction is wrong
What really causes addiction — to everything from cocaine to smart-phones? And how can we overcome it? Johann Hari has seen our current methods fail firsthand, as he has watched loved ones struggle to manage their addictions. He started to wonder why we treat addicts the way we do — and if there might be a better way. As he shares in this deeply personal talk, his questions took him around the world, and unearthed some surprising and hopeful ways of thinking about an age-old problem.

Journalist
Johann Hari spent three years researching the war on drugs; along the way, he discovered that addiction is not what we think it is.

[JR: I’ve really become crazed on this topic. Even more than usual. The “(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs” has really ruined lives. Not just the addicts, but their families. And, now with the militarization of police, society. There’s an old Wall Street expression: “When in a hole, stop digging.” We’ve treating addiction as a legal problem; not a medical one. He’s urging it’s a “societal” one. Not sure, if I agree. But lot of folks are beginning to agree that it’s time to try a different strategy. I came to this belief when I kept reading about children dying from impure drugs from “illegal” sources. Shades of Upton Sinclair. If they are going to do drugs, let’s make safe clean drugs cheaply available. Portugal’s on the correct track.]
