Editor's Note Editor Susan'. IcCloskey '94 The other night I was flipping through the channels on my TV and stumbled Assistant Editor upon an episode of "48 Hours". This particular episode, titled "Middletown USA," Stephanie Fordice '00 featured a small town in New Jersey. Middletown looks like any other small town you would find in America — the only difference? It is located just across the Editorial Support way from Manhattan. This town, with a population less than 67,000, lost 32 Chris Cooper residents on September 11th. "48 Hours" spent the last year in Middletown, Deborah Hughes following the lives of the spouses, children, and friends left behind. Kate Lorenz As I watched this program from my home hundreds of miles away, I thought of Sarah Phillips Janelle Richmond how "unaffected" I sometimes feel about this tragedy. That is not to say that I do John Stachniak not remember what has happened. I remember it every time I am near a tall building or see a plane fly overhead. Just as I remember the tragedy at Columbine Photography _ everytime I drop my daughter off at school. Stephanie Fordice '00 I remember it when I pray for the victim's families, and watch the news about Monte Gerlach the "War on Terrorism," but I cannot say that September 11th changed my life.

But I had some things on my side: love of God, love John Stachniak of Country, and trust in both. As I flew into Reagan International, I could not believe the calm I sensed.

And as President of the A I saw Lady Liberty for the first time, I remembered all the things that make the Jerry Stengel '87 United States a great country.

  • Reagan's Victory
    Reagan’s ictory How HeV Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison Foreword by William J. Bennett Reagan’s Victory: How He Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison 1 FOREWORD By William J. Bennett Ronald Reagan always called me on my birthday. Even after he had left the White House, he continued to call me on my birthday. He called all his Cabinet members and close asso- ciates on their birthdays. I’ve never known another man in public life who did that. I could tell that Alzheimer’s had laid its firm grip on his mind when those calls stopped coming. The President would have agreed with the sign borne by hundreds of pro-life marchers each January 22nd: “Doesn’t Everyone Deserve a Birth Day?” Reagan’s pro-life convic- tions were an integral part of who he was. All of us who served him knew that. Many of my colleagues in the Reagan administration were pro-choice. Reagan never treat- ed any of his team with less than full respect and full loyalty for that. But as for the Reagan administration, it was a pro-life administration. I was the second choice of Reagan’s to head the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). It was my first appointment in a Republican administration. I was a Democrat. Reagan had chosen me after a well-known Southern historian and literary critic hurt his candidacy by criticizing Abraham Lincoln. My appointment became controversial within the Reagan ranks because the Gipper was highly popular in the South, where residual animosities toward Lincoln could still be found.

  • Chief Timothy Mccarthy of Orland Park Has Been Named the First Recipient of the Chief of the Year Award by the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police
    March 23, 2016 For immediate release Contact: Ed Wojcicki, Executive Director 217.414.7790 – cell; or [email protected] 217.523-3765 -- office Orland Park’s Tim McCarthy named Illinois’ Chief of the Year for 2016 SPRINGFIELD – Chief Timothy McCarthy of Orland Park has been named the first recipient of the Chief of the Year Award by the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police. The award, to be given for the first time this year, is for leadership in law enforcement, leadership in his own police department, and service to the association. McCarthy will receive the award April 22 during the association’s Annual Awards Banquet in Schaumburg. He was selected by the association’s Board of Officers from a very strong pool of nominations from different parts of Illinois. “Many of us have known and worked with Tim on local and statewide initiatives and we recognize him as an innovative leader who has done so much for law enforcement,” said Chief Frank Kaminski of the Park Ridge Police Department, who is the ILACP president. McCarthy began his law enforcement career in 1972 when he was appointed an agent with the United States Secret Service. Early in his career, McCarthy did investigative work while assigned to the Chicago Field Office. In 1979 he was reassigned to the Presidential Protection Division in Washington, D.C. On March 31, 1981, McCarthy distinguished himself while protecting President Ronald Reagan when he was shot in the line of duty during an assassination attempt. McCarthy recovered from serious injuries and returned to work. He was promoted to several supervisory positions prior to retiring in 1993 as the Special Agent in Charge of the Chicago Field Office.
