2019-Feb-24

Good Afternoon All,

I have just heard from Ed McEneney and our prayers are needed for Cathie McEneney, Mike McEneney's Wife. Cathie was taken last night to the ER at St. John's Riverside Hospital, Yonkers, NY. This morning Cathie was in Surgery to remove a bloodclot from her leg. She is now in ICU. Please raise the volume for Cathie as we pray for a complete recovery, no further Surgery and a quick and complete recovery free of complication. We pray for this good woman who never complains, always has a smile and a good word when you meet her. Please keep Cathie and Mike in your prayers. They thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts. Thank you. God Bless.

Stephanie Power
Obituary

Stephanie Power, beloved partner, mother and daughter, passed away peacefully on February 22, 2019 in her home in Fairfield, CT after a long struggle with breast cancer. She was 51.

Stephanie will be remembered for showing us all what it truly means to be a loving family member and friend. She approached every day with optimism, energy and enthusiasm no matter what circumstances life brought. Stephanie's life was devoted to her two sons, Blake and Cameron, her best friend and partner, John Peteshel, and her other family members and many, many friends.

A thoughtful and genuine person, Stephanie always remembered to celebrate others' finest moments and was there for them during their most difficult times. She loved to bring people together from all parts of her life, and she planned and orchestrated countless celebrations for family and friends.

Stephanie loved to travel and she enjoyed planning trips that brought her family to all corners of the globe, though her favorite place was Disney World. No sooner had she returned from one adventure than Stephanie began planning the next outing for her family. Whether it was driving her yellow Mustang, ballroom dancing, taking flying lessons, swimming with dolphins, riding a motorcycle, trapeze lessons with her boys, or regular get-togethers with her close girlfriends, Stephanie lived life to its fullest and reveled in sharing those adventures.

Born and raised in Bronxville, NY, Stephanie moved to Fairfield 20 years ago to raise her family. She earned her bachelor's degree from the College of Mount Saint Vincent and her master's from Fairfield University. Stephanie was a licensed marriage and family therapist, and the founder and co-owner of Key Therapy, LLC in Monroe, CT. She started her career as an elementary school teacher, and her love of people, entrepreneurial spirit and boundless energy led her to many places. She became a concierge and sales executive at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City and later started several businesses—organizing children's birthday parties, Play Tots and a nursery school based at the Easton Community Center. She was an active volunteer at her sons' schools. The common thread in her work and life was a desire to help and bring joy to other people, especially children.

In addition to her partner, John, and sons, Blake Maquat (Manhattan College sophomore) and Cameron Maquat (Hopkins School senior), of Fairfield, Stephanie is survived by her loving parents, Conrad and Michele Power, of Bronxville; her siblings, Suzanne Power-Morris and Timothy Power, also of Bronxville; brother-in-law, John Morris; her adoring Godson and nephew Connor Morris and niece June Power; former husband, Robert Maquat, of Easton, CT; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by paternal grandparents Blake and Mary Power and maternal grandparents Michael and Gertrude Florkowski.

Calling hours will be held on Tuesday from 4-8 p.m. in the Lesko & Polke Funeral Home, 1209 Post Road, in Fairfield Center. Her Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday at 10:45 a.m. in the Church of Saint Joseph, 15 Cedar Street, Bronxville, NY, with the interment to follow in Gate of Heaven Cemetery, in Hawthorne, NY.

Memorial contributions may be made to The Make-A-Wish Foundation, Gift Processing, 1702 East Highland Ave., Suite 400 in Phoenix, AZ 85016. For travel directions or to sign her online guest register, please visit www.LeskoPolkeFuneralHome.com

Bernard Feinerman, 89
Posted Feb 27, 2019 at 4:17 PM Updated Feb 27, 2019 at 4:17 PM

DARTMOUTH — Bernard Feinerman, 89, of Dartmouth, MA, formerly of Fairhaven, MA, died at St. Luke’s Hospital on Wednesday Feb. 27, 2019. Bernard was born on Aug. 8, 1929, the son of Jack and Judith Feinerman. He married Diane Feinerman (nee Herman) on June 18, 1950.

He is survived by his sister, Frances Feinerman; his wife, Diane Feinerman; his children, Donna Feiner, Carl Feinerman, Alan Feinerman, Laura Feinerman and Ilana Feinerman; 7 grandchildren and 2 great grandsons.

Bernard Feinerman was born in Brooklyn, NY, and obtained a bachelor’s degree from New York Polytechnical Institute and later a master’s degree from Manhattan College; both degrees were in engineering. He worked on multiple emerging technologies from early wireless phones to heart monitors used in the operating room.

He died peacefully in his sleep. He had a powerful will and certainly fought to live well beyond his body’s life expectancy.

Funeral service will be held Tifereth Israel Synagogue, 145 Brownell Ave., New Bedford, on Friday March 1, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. Graveside service will take place at New Montefiore Cemetery, West Babylon, NY, on Sunday March 3, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to the charity of your choice.

MNEWS: Alma Mater responded to an attack on The Riverdale Press in 1980

2019-Feb-28

POINT OF VIEW
Thirty years after bombing: Intimidated? No. Thankful? Yes
Posted February 28, 2019
By RICHARD L. STEIN

*** begin quote ***

It’s funny how emotions overtake you when you least expect it.

It’s been a long while — 30 years — since terrorists firebombed the little building on Broadway that housed The Riverdale Press. But from time to time, sometimes out of the blue, I’ll have a flashback to that night and get a lump in my throat, or a knot in my chest.

A report of some new atrocity at a school in Florida or a synagogue in Pittsburgh will bring me back to that night with a shudder.

*** and ***

Most touching were the hundreds of readers who just showed up at the scene, not to gawk, but to give us hugs and mugs of hot coffee, hot cocoa, sandwiches, doughnuts and cookies. Brother Thomas
Scanlan — president of Manhattan College — and Sister Doris Smith — president of the College of Mount Saint Vincent — were among the first to arrive.

Widespread contamination
Paradise water contamination widespread, could affect home plumbing
By Meredith J. Cooper meredithc@newsreview.com
This article was published on 02.28.19.

*** begin quote ***

Alfonso Magdaleno would love to reopen Celestino’s Pizza and Pasta in Paradise, which sustained damage but did not burn in the Camp Fire. A lack of potable water is holding him back.

“We do want to open up, but we want to make sure it’s done safely and properly,” he said by phone. “The town has already been through enough. We want to make sure we are in no way putting anyone in the public at more risk than they’ve already been.”

Magdaleno has been keeping a close eye on water updates from the Paradise Irrigation District (PID). One thing that worries him is that the warnings keep changing—first, there was a boil-only advisory, then benzene contamination was found so people were told not to drink the water at all. On Monday (Feb. 25), a new set of guidelines was released warning homeowners not to rely on filtration systems, that continued testing is necessary.

*** and ***

The PID’s latest guidelines were released online after its board meeting last week, during which Whelton’s team, which includes engineers from Purdue and Manhattan College, presented its findings after studying the situation for the past month. They have extensive experience with widespread water contamination issues, like chemical spills, though none that mirrors what Paradise is dealing with. One thing that worries Whelton most is a lack of information being given to residents.

“People are just being left to fend for themselves,” he said.

While Whelton and his team are no longer contracted with PID, he said they are still very much invested in helping. They field phone calls from PID personnel and have offered advice via social media.

“People need help in their homes, where they live. We are trying to help them by gathering information from them,” he said. That information includes how people are testing, who is doing the testing, what they’re testing for and how often—plus the results of those tests.

Adequate testing is complex.

Gamma Theta Phi (ΓΘΦ) was a fraternity founded in 1964, primarily at Catholic colleges. Unlike traditional fraternities, Gamma was organized by the student services departments at each school since several colleges did not want national fraternities coming on their campus. Since Gamma was, in essence, an outreach of student services, the colleges hoped to harness the positives of the fraternities (service, charitable projects & camaraderie), and avoid the negative stereotypes which plague many fraternities.

The project didn't succeed. By 1967 all national work regarding Gamma had halted. Several of the local chapters continued at their respective colleges for a few years, but by 1997, all the chapters had dissolved.

Chapters
Chapters existed at one time or another at the following schools:

Christian Brothers University – Memphis, Tennessee
College of Santa Fe – Santa Fe, New Mexico
Fontbonne College - St. Louis, Missouri
La Salle University – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Lewis University – Romeoville, Illinois
Loyola University New Orleans - New Orleans, Louisiana
Manhattan College – New York, New York
Saint Louis University - St. Louis, Missouri
St. Mary's College – Moraga, California
St. Mary's University – Winona, Minnesota

[JR: Another indication of the dying of the “Catholic identity”.  Was at the Prep from 60-63 and MC 64-69 and don’t remember hearing about it.  But then the ingineers never heard much from “up the hill”.  Did I miss something?]
