POSITRACTION: West Elmira Fire Department goes above and beyond

When Mom is Whisked to Hospital After Kitchen Accident, Firefighters Stay Behind to Take Care of Things
By McKinley Corbley - Jan 7, 2019

*** begin quote ***

The firefighters who rushed to Rachel Schoonover’s aid last month did a lot more than just ensure her imminent safety.

The 6th grade teacher had been washing dishes at her home in Elmira, New York when a wine glass suddenly shattered and cut an artery in her wrist.

“Instantly, blood was everywhere, spraying all corners of my kitchen,” Schoover wrote in a Facebook post. “I wrapped it up in a towel, called 911, called my mom, and continued to bleed everywhere.”

Responders from the Elmira Fire Department were the first to arrive on the scene, and as they tied a tourniquet around Schoonover’s arm to slow the bleeding, they simultaneously helped her son Declan into his pajamas and kept the two of them calm as they waited for an ambulance.

*** and ***

“These men wiped down my fridge, coffee maker, speakers, cupboards, bathtub, floors, and even individual K-cups that had been hit. They put the dirty towels in my bathtub, threw away the glass, and cleaned up the blood in my sink.”

*** end quote ***

A real act of kindness.  Hopefully, not forgotten.  And, a lesson to us all.

PRAYERSREQUESTED: Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) prays for Robert P. 'Bob' Otten '55 BS

2019-Jul-29

Good Afternoon All,

On Saturday, July 27, 2019, Mike McEneney, received a call from Bob Otten whom many of us know. Bob was calling to say goodbye because he was informed by his Doctors that he has a hole in his heart that is inoperable and that his days are numbered.

True to Bob's way, he confronted the problem and began to deal with it. He has shared that his days are short but his outlook is positive. Bob is in hospital at this time but will shortly be transferred to another institution.

Many of us know that Bob and Junius Kellogg were Classmates, roommates and good Friends at Manhattan and after Graduation. Yes, Basketball, was a bond but the real bond was their friendship. After Junnie's accident, Bob was his Advocate, Financial Advisor and supporter in so many ways.

Bob, is a man with a big and giving heart who has helped so many. The several times I have met Bob, I have always felt I was in the presence of a truly good man. Please raise the volume for this good Man, his Wife Rebecca, their Children, Barbara, Christine, Robert, Derek and Justin during this difficult time. We pray that Bob's days are comfortable, full of love and wonderful memories.

Thank you Bob for being you. God Bless.

JNEWS: Gulino, Michael [MC1976] in­terim AD at Sleepy Hol­low HS

The Hudson Independent
Our Schools
Interim SH High Athletic Director Looks to Revive Sports Programs
by Tom Pedulla –

*** begin quote ***

Michael Gulino, who be­came the in­terim ath­letic di­rec­tor at Sleepy Hol­low High School on July 1, is think­ing big while ad­mit­ting he has rel­a­tively lit­tle time to re­vive some of the school’s sag­ging sports pro­grams.

Gulino spoke of his de­sire to have “a great ath­letic pro­gram across the board for all kids in all sports.” The cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing his ap­point­ment, though, will make it dif­fi­cult for that to be­come a re­al­ity any time soon.

“That’s my goal,” he said. “Can I do it in one year? I don’t know if I can do it in one year, but we’re def­i­nitely go­ing to work at putting the pieces in place to have a great sys­tem mov­ing for­ward and start to work at build­ing it to where it should be, at the top of Sec­tion 1 ath­let­ics.”

Gulino, 64, em­pha­sized that long-term an­swers will have to come from some­one else. He re­tired in June 2015 and noted that his ap­point­ment is for one year. He suc­ceeds Denise Kier­nan, who re­signed af­ter an undis­tin­guished two-year stint that left cer­tain pro­grams, such as foot­ball, with a long climb back merely to re­gain re­spectabil­ity. Kier­nan re­signed amid wide­spread dis­sat­is­fac­tion with her per­for­mance and that of nu­mer­ous teams.

Christo­pher Bor­sari, su­per­in­ten­dent of schools, ac­knowl­edged the need to do bet­ter when he said in a press re­lease an­nounc­ing the hir­ing of Gulino that the in­terim ath­letic di­rec­tor “will be tasked with re­view­ing our ath­letic pro­gram through an ath­letic study process fo­cused upon im­prov­ing the ath­letic ex­pe­ri­ence of stu­dents.”

Gulino spent most of his ca­reer in the Byram Hills Cen­tral School Dis­trict in Ar­monk. He was a mid­dle school health teacher there for 20 years and the ath­letic di­rec­tor at the high school for an­other 14 years. He grad­u­ated from Man­hat­tan Col­lege and holds Mas­ter’s de­grees from Co­lum­bia Uni­ver­sity Teach­ers Col­lege and Lehman Col­lege.

Gerald Markey
1935 - 2019


Gerald James Markey, aka Jerry, passed away on July 29, 2019. He was born a first generation American in New York City on February 6, 1935, and grew up in The Bronx as the only child of John and Mary Markey, Irish immigrants. He attended Mt. St. Michael Academy, excelling in basketball, football and baseball. A 1958 graduate of Manhattan College, he was inducted into the Manhattan College Hall of Fame for baseball in 1995.

Jerry served as an electrical engineer with the Federal Aviation Administration for 43 years, with over 10 years as the Director of Spectrum Engineering. He retired in 2001, and began his series of "retirement jobs" with Walden Golf Club, the public library, and Toth Distribution Services; he also traveled, including his lifelong dream: a trip to the Holy Land in Jerusalem in 2011.

Jerry was proud of his Irish heritage and was a member of the Ancient Order of the Hibernians, Charles Carroll Division. He was an avid sports fan, ardently rooting for his NY Giants, NY Rangers, Mets, the Baysox, and later the Nationals. He volunteered at the Babe Ruth Museum for many years, and often volunteered through the Knights of Columbus and Sacred Heart Parish in Bowie, where he was a parishioner for over 25 years.

He was known for his gregarious nature, his love of dogs (especially his chocolate lab Guinness), and his legendary backward somersaults on many a dance floor.

He was the beloved husband of 55 years to Veronica "Ronnie" Markey; father to John, James, Marianne, Patrick and Colleen; father-in-law to Sean Carney, Kathryn Markey, Deon Markey, and James McGuinn; and the adored "Papa" of Corrin, Taylor, Patrick, Andrew, William, Gerald, Charlotte, Jack, Kelsie, Sophie and Julia.

Family will receive friends at Beall Funeral Home, 6512 NW Crain Hwy. (Rt. 3 South), Bowie, MD on Sunday, August 4, 2019 from 2pm to 5pm. A funeral mass will be held at Sacred Heart Church, 16501 Annapolis Rd. Bowie, MD on Monday, August 5, 2019 at 11am. Interment Sacred Heart Cemetery.

Dear Jasper Flanagan:

Jasper Jottings, is not run by Alma Mater, but me, picked it up and sent it out before noon today.  Since I share what I find with Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) who runs a prayer list, other connected alumni who help me with Jasper Jottings, and folks at the College, it will get a wide distribution after a day or two.  As I do with all "alumni news", I push "news" out at http://jasperjottings-daily.com/ as soon as I find it and weekly on http://www.jasperjottings.com/.  You can get on the daily rush email at http://jasperjottings-daily.com/ and put your email address in on the second block on the right or just get the weekly email at http://eepurl.com/NAy_D. Of course, no charge for either.

Sorry for our loss and best wishes.

Leo's Obituary
U.S. Veteran

Leo Edward Barron, 86, of Gales Ferry, Connecticut, a devoted husband and father who was known for his strong Catholic faith, love of country and sharp sense of humor, passed away peacefully on Thursday, Aug. 1, 2019, surrounded by his loving, grateful children.

He leaves behind five children, 19 grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.

Born the fourth of five children to William and Angela Barron in New York, N.Y., on Dec. 7, 1932, Leo attended the Good Shepherd School and Cardinal Hayes High School, before earning a bachelor’s degree in business from Manhattan College in 1958.

In 1958, he met the love of his life, the former Lorraine McColl, in New York City’s Inwood Lounge. The two were married in 1960 and shared “54 years and one week’’ together, before she passed away on April 30, 2014.

He served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, from August 1952 to July 1954, and had a distinguished, 25-year career in the U.S. Navy Reserve, retiring as a Commander.

Leo joined the Naval Investigative Service (NIS) in 1960, beginning a successful career as a special agent. His career would take his family to Port Orchard, Washington; Mundelein, Illinois, and Marlton, New Jersey, during his 25-year career. They also lived in the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico and Guam, before they settled in Gales Ferry in 1981.

Retiring from NIS in 1985, he embarked on a successful 15-year career as a private investigator. In 2002, in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Leo returned to work with NIS, traveling to London, England; Rota, Spain and Naples, Italy.

A very active parishioner of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Gales Ferry since 1981, he served as a lector, Eucharistic minister and volunteered for Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

In 2018, Leo established the Leo E. and Lorraine A. Barron Endowment within the Catholic Foundation in order to support the parish and its outreach.

“I have been so blessed to have been married to my best friend for over 50 years,’’ he said at the time. “Our marriage resulted in five great adults to give the world, who, in turn, married and are raising more soldiers for Christ.’’

Leo was a past Grand Knight and longtime active member of the Knights of Columbus and the Ledyard Lions Club. He also enjoyed serving on the Blue Mass Committee for the Diocese of Norwich, Connecticut.

An incurable sports fanatic, he could always be counted on for the latest news, trades and scores of his beloved New York Yankees and the New York Football Giants. A die-hard Yankees fan, Leo was known to verbally joust with anyone who didn’t share such allegiance. “You look too smart to be a Red Sox fan,” he’d say, lightheartedly, to many of his New England friends.

A season ticket holder for 50 years, he’d cheer on his New York Giants in any kind of weather, with Lorraine and other family and friends by his side at Giants Stadium.

He also loved to travel and visit his children and grandchildren, thinking nothing of hours-long drives or flights to support them at their school and sporting events.

During his retirement, he and Lorraine visited Ireland, and took cruises to Alaska and Nova Scotia. They also made dozens of trips to Lorraine’s favorite place, Walt Disney World.

In recent months, as his health waned and surged, Leo made no secret of the fact that he looked forward to eternal life. “I’m rounding third,’’ he’d say with gratitude for the joyfully full life he’d been blessed with. A man of deep faith, he’d note that he was not afraid to slide into home, head first.

Surviving are his two daughters, Jeanne Knudsen (Paul) of Ridge, New York, and Kerri Ann Charette (Brian) of Gales Ferry; three sons, William (Michelle) of Long Valley, New Jersey, Daniel (Ann Marie) of Long Valley, New Jersey, and Matthew (Jodi) of Memphis, Tennessee.

He is also survived by 19 grandchildren: Thomas (Lindsay), James (Elizabeth), John and Mark Knudsen; Kevin (Allison), Peter, Conor, Patrick, Kelly, Amy, Leo, Brett, Luke and Shane Barron, and Andrew, Matthew, Christopher, Summer and Joy Charette. Additionally, he is survived by one great-granddaughter, Sydney Knudsen.

A visitation will be held on Tuesday August 6th from 5-7 pm at the Byles Groton Memorial Home, 310 Thames Street Groton, Connecticut. A Mass of Christian burial will be held 10 am Wednesday August 7th at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Gales Ferry, Connecticut. Interment will follow with military honors at Gales Ferry Cemetery.

The family suggests donations be directed to the Leo E. and Lorraine A. Barron Endowment Fund at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Route 12, Gales Ferry, CT 06335 or St. Jude Children's Hospital 501 St Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.

ENDNOTE: Commies Tried To Kill JPII?

Historian: More Evidence Commies Tried To Kill JPII

Mehmet Ali Agca met repeatedly with Soviet intel handlers in the months ­before he made his unsuccessful attempt on Saint John Paul II’s life on May 13, 1981, notes George Weigel at First Things. “What we do not have is documentary evidence that all of this was done on the direct orders of [KGB boss] Yuri] Andropov or Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev or both.” But now intriguing new evidence is coming to light. It’s all “thanks to an achingly dull, three-volume history of the schedule of Leonid Brezhnev, published three years ago.” Trawling through it, Polish historian Andrzej Grajewski found that although “Brezhnev did not meet all that often with Andropov, the KGB spymaster . . . the tempo of their meetings increased dramatically in April and May 1981, as did the frequency of their phone conversations.” On the fateful day, moreover, Brezhnev cleared his schedule, as if (Grajewski writes) his “attention was not absorbed by acting, directing, managing — but perhaps waiting for something to happen.” Weigel archly concludes: “Inquiring minds wonder.”

Now I like to think that I am up on all the Conspiracy Theories, but somehow I missed this one.

Upon reflection, it seem to have some some evidence to support it.
