POSITRACTION: Catholicism’s impact on NOLA recognized?2017-Dec-03https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/nov/23/new-orleans-300th-anniversary-will-highlight-catho/ New Orleans’ 300th anniversary will highlight Catholicism’s impact on city, women’s contributions By Eric Althoff - The Washington Times - Thursday, November 23, 2017 *** begin quote *** New Orleans will not be ringing in its tricentennial quietly. The city famous for its Mardi Gras parties, hurricane rum drinks and nightly bacchanal has a year of events planned to mark the 300th anniversary of the city’s founding in 1718 by French explorers. As important to the Big Easy’s history has been the influence of the Catholic Church. Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville founded the St. Louis Cathedral Church, which served as the missionary center of Catholicism from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes (Detroit was also a French settlement) and within the Mississippi Valley. An exhibit is now open called “The Church in the Crescent: Three Hundred Years of Catholicism in New Orleans,” and will run through June 30. *** end quote *** Interesting to see Holy Mother Church’s in the news for something other than a scandal. Maybe someone will report on the exhibit and if it’s a fair representation. # - # - # - # - # |

JOBIT: Muellers, Ted [MC1958] sunning streak since '682017-Dec-03https://www.newsday.com/long-island/turkey-trot-running-ted-muellers-1.15264221 Long IslandSee how he runs: Rockville Centre man has had a 50-year streak
Before the running boom, before everybody and his uncle seemed to be doing a marathon, before $200 running shoes and stores to sell them, before Frank Shorter and Dr. Ken Cooper, there was Ted Muellers. It was Thanksgiving Day 1968, when the then-32-year-old Muellers lined up with a bunch of local high school students and ran a course of about 2 1⁄2 miles through the streets of Rockville Centre. Muellers, who had been a half-miler in high school in Queens and at Manhattan College, was one of three “old men” who ran along with the kids in that informal race. Fifty years and two event incarnations later, Muellers, 81, is still running the lineal descendant of that original Turkey Trot. Since 1978, it’s been the Rockville Centre 10-kilometer (6.2 miles); a 5k (3.1 mile) event was later added to the program. The race is now held on the second Saturday in November — and Muellers has been there for every one of them. Counting the 10 years of the Thanksgiving Day version of the race (1968-1977), the 30 editions of the 10k he ran and the 5k that he has done as a concession to age for the past decade, and that adds up to 50 years. # - # - # Muellers, Ted [MC????] # - # - # - # - # Dear John, I believe that Theodore is member of the class of 1958.

COMMENT: Jablon, Ken (MC1962) disagrees on my conundrum2017-Dec-03John, Regarding your “Positration: $28 baby saver”—I don’t believe it’s a conundrum because an aborted fetus is not a “baby.” I hope you and your family have a joyous Christmas and a happy and healthy 2018. Ken Jablon ‘62 [JR: So can we agree to disagree agreeably? What if that “thing”, that was aborted, was the soul that was supposed to cure cancer, bring about world peace, or just the deciding vote for something important. I’m a pro-choice pro-life little L libertarian so I can believe, at conception, it’s a human being. That doesn’t mean I want the Gooferment legalizing / outlawing abortion, subsidizing abortion with my stolen wealth in taxes, or propagandizing or proselytizing abortion around the globe. This should be an intensely personal decision between people with their medical professionals. Like the “death penalty”, it’s irreversible. I do think that many “pro-lifers” don’t recognize the needs after the baby is born.] # - # - # - # - # 2017-Dec-03 @ 14:17 |

ENDNOTE: "But as intensive care unit stretchers replace at-home deathbeds ..."2017-Dec-09https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2017/11/heres-death-really- sounds-like.html?pop=0&sXFc&ba=1&xid=su-md-onc&sQZc Here’s what death really sounds like MOLLY M. MURRAY, PA-C | PHYSICIAN | NOVEMBER 6, 2017 *** begin quote *** 7 a.m. began as it always did; the overnight doc was threatening to quit while rubbing her bloodshot eyes and smearing mascara beneath them. Between heavy sighs, she listed the patients transferring into my care ending with Mr. Mandel. *** and *** Glancing at the screen, I immediately interpreted the numbers. Heart rate: 45. Respiration rate: 40. Blood pressure: 67/42. It was very easy for me to tell that Charles Mandel was soon to die. But as intensive care unit stretchers replace at-home deathbeds, digital tones replace guttural human noises and the ability of observers to slowly comprehend the reality of a failing body is diminished. *** end quote *** As I get older, I think more about this. Do we really need “intensive care unit stretchers replacing at-home deathbeds”? Death is a natural process. And, “we” have made it an expensive and terrible process. So sad. # - # - # - # - # |
