Local parishioner tells how faith changed his The life, P22 JCHDIOCFSE OF MIAMI \.Xl\ No. 37 November 13, 1981 Price 25' Catholic schools a threat? Both Catholic and Jewish educa- tion leaders said they would be glad TO talk with public school officials but said they would not be dissuaded from expanding their schools though a Dade County public school board member sees this as a threat to public schools. Janet McAliley, a first term board member, said in Miami Nov. 4 that new, non-public schools are attract- ing students in the top academic levels. She said she fears that such a trend could lead to inferior public schools. At a Nov. 4 school board meeting she proposed that the school board meet with religious leaders to "con- sider the implications of the prolifera- tion of parochial schools in Dade County." "WE ARE LOSING academically advantaged students and the oppor- tunities for the remaining bright students are being reduced," she stated before the meeting. "I'm afraid we are headed toward a school for the poor, the minorities and the handicapped." Ms. McAliley said she is particular- ly concerned with the shift in ethnic make-up of students attending public schools. In 1966, she said it was 64 percent white, 11.5 percent Hispanic, and 24.5 percent black. This year's enrollment is 31 percent white, 38 percent Hispanic and 31 percent black. She said that the ethnic shift is due in part to the influx of Cuban and Haitian refugees but pointed out that another factor is the exodus of white students both out of Dade County and to parochial and private schools in the county.

Continued from page 1 "The public schools lack a value system that is acceptable to many people and that is the main reason they are turning to private schools. Our schools are expanding because the people want them. We don't just take the brightest students," Father Kelly said, "we take all kinds of students. We have a school now where three-fourths of the pupils are recent Haitian immigrants."

PAGE 8 / Miami, Florida / THE VOICE / Friday, November 13, 1981 o Matter of Opinion ] Women as lectors are equal—almost Bishop Glennon Flavin of Lincoln, Neb., wants to phase women out. As lectors, that is. The Oct. 23 Voice reported how the Lincoln diocese plans to phase women lectors out by 1984 (a prophetic year?) because women are allowed by the Church to be lectors "only by way of ex- ception," according to a diocese spokesman. Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee, chairman of the U.S. Bishops Liturgy Committee, almost immediately assured everyone that the Church does allow women to be lectors and that the practice "is almost universal" in this country. He even went so far as to criticize his fellow bishop — an unusual occurrence — by calling the Lincoln policy "a step backward and offensive." At a time when the Church has been struggling to define women's roles in the Church in a manner consistent with dignity and equality, the events in Lincoln are embarrassing. It is undeniable that women — both lay and Religious — do a great deal of the work of the Church in the ministries and various parish activities, and deserve not only respect but real sharing in decision making. And to phase women out of such a public ministry as reading Scripture at Mass hardly serves that purpose. MARIJUANA Yet, such events do sometimes serve to focus needed attention SELLERS flh- J on an issue. While, Vatican documents clearly permit women to act as lec- tors, the Lincoln Diocese points to a Vatican decree of 1972 stating that "in accordance with venerable tradition of the Church, installation in the ministries of reader and acolyte is reserved to men." In other words, women can serve but cannot be formally install- ed, according to Vatican policy. Well — which way is it to be? It would appear there is still a vestige of discrimination in of- ficial Church policy, for those who want to invoke it. And this is one example, we believe, why the Church is still grappling with the issue of Women In The Church, declaring sexism to be evil, yet not quite granting women equal status as readers. Women today are expected to proclaim the Word to their child- ren and to others in CCD and adult education classes, for in- stance. And the great women saints of the Church, Saints Teresa, Catherine, Elizabeth, Clare — too many to name — would they not be worthy to officially proclaim the Word today, or rather, to simp- ly read the words that men have written, and to do this not only in women all the more fully into decision-making and public roles America but in all countries? . - • • available in the Church. The Church should either resolve such inconsistencies or ex- Otherwise, situations such as the one in Lincoln should not be plain clearly in modern terms the reason for them, while bringing unexpected.

Salas St. John Apostle parish, Hialeah This is a true story of my belief, and it begins more than 30 years ago, in January 1950, when my wife gave birth to our first daughter. That in itself may not be an earth-shattering event, but the circumstances were. The doctor who delivered our child, six weeks premature, had not practiced medicine for 25 years. Fifteen of those she had been confined to a mental institution because she had tried to in- cinerate her sister's baby when it was born. Unfortunately, she was the only doctor we could afford. I was jobless. And our daughter was born, not in a hospital, but in the same house where my wife and mother-in-law had been born, that is, my grandmother-in-law's house. I sat in a pew dose to the altar, closed my eyes and simply said, 'Lord* what am I to '-':• do? Please help me.' We were there, in fact, to ask that she allow my wife to live with her until I could find a job and a place of our own. That beautiful, compas- sionate woman asked no questions. There was *I was in deep despair* "-no doubt in her mind as to where my wife and now new-born baby would stay.

DES MOINES, Iowa (NC) — Terminally ill children in Iowa have a special Amanda has been successful in cheering up children like seven-year-old Sara visitor who gives warm, cuddly bear hugs and tells them they are loved and ap- Tomkins. For two years she has been fighting a type of leukemia that leaves preciated no matter how sick they are. very few survivors. She is Amanda, the Panda, alias JoAnn Zimmerman in a panda costume. SARA WROTE Amanda a few months ago, "It's hard to be someone like Zimmerman is a member of the Holy Trinity Parish in Des Moines, but as • me." But she reminded Amanda in a P.S., "There's a rainbow behind every Amanda, she is "the bear with a heart," giving love and caring attention to dark cloud." In Forest City, eight-year-old Mindy Sundermann has been waging an uphill battle against medullablastoma, a brain tumor, for two years. Her mother, JoAnn Sundermann, says her daughter's reaction to Amanda is amazing. "It seems that there's so little Mindy gets excited about any more — except for Amanda. She keeps her emotions under control because she has so much to cope with," Sundermann explained. "When kids learn to look forward to something more than a blood test or spinal tap it's just beautiful, and Amanda pro- vides that for Mindy." THE IDEA of Amanda evolved during the last two years as Zimmerman observed the use of- costumed characters for commercial purposes by corporations and amusement parks. She thought that the concept could be developed to serve children on a nonprofit basis. Zimmerman proposed the idea to the bank where she work- ed, but it was more interested in an advertising angle. So she tried the idea on her own. She ordered a panda costume with two demands: Amanda had to have a happy face and soft fur so that children would feel good about getting and giving bear hugs. Then she quit her job to devote herself full-time to \ Amanda's ministry. That was last November. Since then she has logged more than 2,000 miles on her red Chevette travelling around the state visiting sick children as the word spread about the seven- foot panda with a caring heart. Zimmerman does not charge for Amanda's visits, but she depends on contributions from churches, service and school organizations and individuals to continue her ministry. "I think we have to make the world a better place to live and that's why I do this," Zimmerman said. "Whatever gifts we've been given are given by God to be shared with others." She quotes St. Paul's Second Epistle to the Corinthians as her scriptural inspiration: "He comforts us in all our afflic- Amanda the Panda (alias Jo-Ann Zimmerman) gives a toy panda to Mindy, who is tions and thus enables us to comfort those who are in trouble, suffering from a brain tumor. with the same consolation we have received from Him." ...Priest-puppet team monkey around hospital By Kathy Roth "They really enjoy her.
