POSITRACTION: Teacher Sees Boy — Helps to Save His A Life2019-Apr-14https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/when-teacher-sees-boy-cycling-o n-highway-she-saves-his-dads-life/ When Teacher Sees Boy Cycling Down the Highway, She Turns Around and Helps to Save His Dad’s Life By McKinley Corbley-Feb 13, 2019 *** begin quote *** Meanwhile, elementary school teacher Keller Sutherland told WSPA that she had been having a lousy day. Upon questioning her career decisions, she had left school earlier than usual and started driving home when she saw a boy riding his bike through traffic. Her instincts told her to turn her car around and check on the boy – and she was stunned to find that the youngster was actually a former student of hers: Cameron. Cameron told Sutherland about his predicament and she did her best to keep him calm. Once paramedics were called to the scene, Cameron gave them directions to his house so they could help his father. Thanks to emergency responders delivering the necessary injections to Cameron’s dad, his blood sugar levels quickly returned to normal – and Sutherland says the whole experience renewed her faith in her profession. “There’s no doubt that God placed me where he did when he needed me,” Sutherland told WSPA. *** end quote *** It’s important that we are always on the alert to take advantage of any and all opportunities to be of service.

JFOUND: Vanegas, “Mister” [MC2016?] Teacher @ San Miguel School Washington DC2019-Apr-14https://sanmigueldc.org/meet-mr-vanegas/ April 11, 2019 Meet Mr. Vanegas By José V.R. (7th Grade) Mr. Vanegas was born and raised in Queens, NY to a Colombian mother and a Salvadoran father. He considers himself lucky to be the “baby” of the family, as he has one older brother. Mr. Vanegas received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Manhattan College and his plan for the future is either to get his Master’s in Education or his PhD in Organic Chemistry. In 2016, Mr. Vanegas volunteered at a school that serves the Mayan population in Tecpán, Guatemala. He went with a group of Lasallians from Manhattan College. He was so moved by the Lasallian mission and charism that he decided to join the Lasallian Volunteers program as soon as he graduated college. As a Lasallian Volunteer, he taught at San Miguel School from 2016 to 2018 for free. Now, he is finally a full-time, salaried employee of the school, but he still is equally moved by the mission to provide quality education here at San Miguel school. Here is a Q&A with Mr. Vanegas: Q: What is it like to teach at San Miguel this year compared to other years? A: This year has been a much easier year because I have gained more experience in teaching since starting here three years ago. Q: What inspires you about teaching students at San Miguel. A: My students inspire me to continue teaching at San Miguel — their joy, their dedication, and their struggles push me to be a better teacher. Their success brings me a lot of joy, mostly because I enjoy seeing their hard work pay off in the end! They think I give them work to make their lives miserable (LOL) but, in reality, it’s because I have high expectations for them; I know they can do it, they just need a little push! To see each one of my students move on to the next big challenge (whether that’s in sports, in music club, in class, or in life) is truly a blessing, because I know they will win in the end. Q: What are some of your goals for this year? A: That’s tough. My personal goal is to try to incorporate a vegetarian diet into my daily routine (or at least a pollotarian diet). My professional goal is to research more procedures and routines to incorporate into my classes so that my students take EVEN more responsibility in the classroom. Additionally, I want my 7th graders to win the roller coaster competition for a 3rd year in a row! Q: How does your teaching benefit your students and prepare them for the future? A: WOW, what a question! I would like to think my teaching pushes students to think outside the box, to take risks when they think they can’t do something, and to ask questions when they’re stuck. That’s actually the biggest takeaway I want students to get — it’s okay to ask questions when you don’t know something! Stop trying to figure out life by yourself. You’ll get stuck in the same position forever if you wait for someone to come and help you! # - # - # - # - # Vanegas, “Mister” [MC2016?] # - # - # - # - # 2019-Apr-13 @ 21:20 Dear John, I do not find any thing in my 'stuff' for a 'Mister Vanegas but I agree that 2016 is probably his year.

JNEWS: Murach, Colleen [MC2016] Living Our Values Award @ ConEd2019-Apr-14https://www.marketscreener.com/CONEDISON-INC-12403/news/ conEdison-Con-Edison-Engineer-From-Red-Bank-N-J-Wins-Con-Edison -s-Highest-Honor-28420397/ conEdison : Con Edison Engineer From Red Bank, N.J. Wins Con Edison's Highest Honor 04/13/2019 | 09:25am EDT NEW YORK, April 12 -- Consolidated Edison, a provider of energy-related products and services, issued the following news release: A Con Edison engineer from Red Bank, N.J. has won the company's highest honor for her contributions to public safety programs, her integrity and her professionalism. Colleen Murach, an operating supervisor in Brooklyn and Queens Electric Operations, is a winner of the Living Our Values Award, which is for high-achieving employees who demonstrate stellar character on and off the job. "I come to work every day with smart, talented people who are dedicated to public safety and reliable service," Murach said. "That makes it special and humbling to be honored for my work in this area. I'm proud of the way our company uses new technologies to keep people safe." "Colleen brings enthusiasm, intellectual curiosity and focus to every task," said David DeSanti, Con Edison's vice president for Brooklyn-Queens Electric Operations. "She quickly earns the respect of colleagues with her open communication, integrity and willingness to listen. Her passion for safety is obvious when she's in the field offering input to crew members and hearing their ideas on protecting themselves and the public." It is the second major award this year for Murach, a Con Edison employee since 2014. In February, she received the Technology Transfer Award from the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) for her work on a manhole safety program. She has left her imprint on several important Con Edison programs. She worked with the company's Environmental Health and Safety group to put in place a pilot program that places bags of light fill material in manholes. The fill lowers the impact of manhole fires or explosions. Murach worked with experts from EPRI and the City College of New York to determine the best type of fill to use. The company chose perlite, which is found in potting soil. Murach was also an advocate of having crew members who work on the underground system take infrared photos of the cables to identify "hot spots." A hot spot can indicate that a section of cable needs to be repaired or replaced to avoid a manhole event. Crews found more than 200 hot spots in 2018. Her EPRI award was for her research into latched manhole covers. Con Edison has installed more than 700 latched covers that are designed to stay in place if heat and gases build up in the hole. Murach's positive attitude and willingness to share her knowledge make her an ideal example for others; she has mentored young and aspiring engineers at Con Edison and Manhattan College. She is a graduate of Manhattan College, where she earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. Outside of work, Murach is a member of the Manhattan College Pipes and Drums group, playing the bagpipe at parades and other events. # - # - # - # - # Murach, Colleen [MC????] # - # - # - # - # Dear John, I believe that Colleen is a member of the Class of 2016.

JBLOGGER: Petrone, Louis S. "Key West Lou" (MC1957) thanked me for "stealing" his stuff2019-Apr-14http://keywestlou.com/black-days-for-america/ BLACK DAYS FOR AMERICA Posted on April 14, 2019 by keywestlou *** begin quote *** My April 3 blog concerned itself with The Americans. A group that considered women second class citizens. The group were leading male citizens. Under the guise of preventing the spread of venereal disease, a law was passed that made any woman viewed as suspicious by the police subject to arrest, incarceration, sometimes sterilization. The law is still on the books in some states, though rarely enforced these days. The law was/is known as the Chamberlain-Kahn Act. Jasper Jottings is a weekly blog put out by F. John Reinke. His blog concerns Jaspers. Jaspers are Manhattan College graduates. Reinke graduated from Manhattan in the late 1960’s. I graduated from Manhattan in 1957. We have never met. Know each other however by our respective blogs. Reinke refers to his blog as the Achievement Journal of My Fellow Jaspers,” Alumni of Manhattan College. Reinke carried my April 3 article re Women Second Class Citizens. I appreciate it. Reinke ran the article in his publication dated April 14. I want to thank John. It was nice of him to print it. *** end quote *** [JR: I have read Key West Lou since I found out he was a Jasper. His blog is interesting, despite being sometimes “politically left” and about living in “Sodom” — or maybe it’s “Gomorra”. Either way, as a little L libertarian, as long as I don’t have to pay for someone’s lifestyle or they insist on imposing their diktats on me, I really could care less about that part. I find it educational from time to time. If we all did more MYOBing, the world would be a much better place.] Petrone, Louis S. "Key West Lou" (MC1957) # - # - # - # - # 2019-Apr-14 @ 13:39 |

JFACEBOOK: Steinberg, Robert "Bob Stei" (MC1993) announce a new project2019-Apr-15Bob Stei April 13 at 3:31 PM · *** So, time to let you all know the project I’ve been working on and am truly excited about! Since 1993, I wanted to do something about my stories from my time at Manhattan College. I’m aware that everybody has stories, but those who were there know that my adventures were far from normal! So, as I continue to get advice from authors and speak to publishers, look for news on an upcoming collection of stories that will not only interest you, but will hit every emotion possible! Take a trip back to 1990 and join the stories of a naïve, innocent, Morrissey obsessed, outspoken, stubborn, liberal, Jewish Baltimore native who seeks adventure, romance and fame at a very Irish Catholic college in New York! If being different wasn’t hard enough, a few very controversial articles in the school paper and a “take no prisoners” college radio show give him more than enough excitement, adventure and heartache than he could imagine! You’ll be in the middle of his roommate and dorm issues, battles with campus groups, love gone wrong and much more. Expect to laugh, cry, gasp, smile and want more! A few answers to questions people have asked: 1- Do you have a title? The pending title is “Manhattan Bronx; Riverdale.” 2- Are the stories real or made up? These are actual real events based “loosely” on my time there. Some details have been altered. 3- What if I’m involved in a story and don’t want to be in the book? Outside famous people, I have changed every name completely except mine. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. 4- What made you decide to publish your story? I feel like I’ve become the “keeper of the stories” for a lot of people. This was an amazing, crazy time. Looking back is fascinating. 5- What is the timeline? 1990-1993. The birth of grunge! 6- I have a great story or memory you should include- can I remind you? Sure, d/m me or email me at manhattanbronxriverdale@gmail.com 7- Is there a website or social media page? Manhattan Bronx Riverdale is active on Face book. I will most likely do the same for Twitter soon. 8- Will the stories be sad, happy, funny or painful? Yes. I’m nearing the end of a first rough draft and excited to where this is going! Please reach out with any questions, and if you know a publisher who wants to grab this before somebody else does, reach out!! Spread the word, go on the pages- and wait for news! Back to work- Love you all! Bob Stei*** # - # - # - # - # Steinberg, Robert "Bob Stei" (MC1993) # - # - # - # - # 2019-Apr-15 @ 23:12 |

Joe enjoyed his business at Mazza's Auto Parts, baseball, basketball, golf, cars and his martini. He was an avid St. Louis Cardinal, New York Giants and Yankee fan. His greatest joys came from the time he spent with his loving grandson Tyler talking sports, rehashing stories of his life, taking car rides past the Hudson River and the golf course, riding with Tyler as he played golf, and teaching him all that he knew, but most of all just being together. He is survived by his grandson Tyler, sons Kyle and Todd, and his sister Charloette Sopko. He was predeceased by his loving wife. He will be missed by all who knew him. There will be a Memorial Gathering to celebrate Joe's life at the Sonoma Grille, 100 Thiells Mt. Ivy Road, Thiells, NY will on Saturday, April 27TH from 2-4 PM.

JEMAIL: Flynn, Bro. Gregory (MC1957) has an Easter message for all2019-Apr-19Dear Friends of Addis Hope, I hope this finds you and your loved ones doing well. As for me, I recall in my 2017 Easter message that it was written from Christian Brothers Academy, Lincroft, NJ where I was recovering from a bout with pneumonia. Well, unfortunately, this 2019 message is also written from the same location after having two more bouts in the intervening years. While I have been told that I cannot return to Ethiopia, a beloved country where I first arrived fifty years ago, I am still able to maintain contact through social media. As I mentioned in other communications, our Addis Hope classrooms were illegally knocked down to make room for government structures. Numerous court appearances to seek redress were spectacularly unsuccessful. My Lasallian colleague, Ruth Girmay, is now producing leather goods with the idea of eventually training street mothers so that the income they receive can help feed their families and send their children to school. Space allows only this very brief description of our current situation in the hope that your continued support will allow the Addis Hope program to serve the marginalized whom we first began assisting in 1991. At the risk of sounding immodest, my feelings today may resemble “The Man in the Arena," an address by Teddy Roosevelt to university students. May you have a blessed Easter (Melkam Fassika !!!) Brother Gregory Flynn (Jack) Flynn, Bro. Gregory (MC1957) # - # - # - # - # 2019-Apr-19 @ 20:01 |
