On April 16, VU students, faculty and staff said farewell to a very dear friend. Dr.Gerald R. Seeley, 60, dean of the College of Engineering, lost his battle with thyroid can­ cer. The Valpo faculty welcomed Seeley in 1983, and appointed him dean in 1999. He also chaired the VU campus planning comittee, served on the budget advisory committee, faculty senate, the North Central Association steering committee, honor council, and the University- level strategic planning committee. Dean Seeley was also involved in the scholars program, the Herman and Helen Hesse Learning Resource and Assessment Center, and the initiating of physical and computer upgrades in Gellersen Center. Dr. Seeley served the community first and foremost. His faithful contributions to VU will forever be remembered. ... "well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much, enter into the joy of your master.K -Matthew 25: 23 •& i M "We can take pride in ourselves and in out jobs. We can treat the engi­ neering field with dignity, integrity, and enthusiasm. We can view every day at work as a blessing, a chance for us to give of those gifts we have recieved, and to share with our co-workers. This is how Jerry lived. We can stay connected with our alma mater. We can display loyalty and pride, and give back, not just with money, but with time and our prayers. Finally, we can foster with others the kind of relationship we were hon­ ored to share with Jerry- one full of laughter, compassion, enthusiasm, support and kindness." -Andrea Hoth '00 baby Doe "5T~ In the spring of 2001, The Ballad of Babv Doe was the mainstage production of the Center for the Arts. Written by American composer Douglas Moore, Baby Doe tells the story of historical figures Baby Doe Tabor and her husband, silver / magnate Horace Tabor in the late nineteenth- and 1 early twentieth-century Colorado. A vocally out­ standing cast included Sail Jacob as Baby Doe, Brian Von Rueden as Horace Tabor, and Angela Young as Tabor's first wife Augusta. Photo by: Rachel Green Photo by: Rachel Green Photo by: Rachel Green Medea, the final mainstage production of the 2000-2001 year at the Center for the Arts, brought a new twist to an ancient work. Directed by Professor John Steven Paul, the clas­ sic story of passion, betrayal, and murder in ancient Greece was brought forward in time and staged in 1940s Chicago. A small but able cast made the transition convincing. Junior Jennifer Copenhaver as an emotionally distraught Medea and senior Charles Andrews as an arrogant, roving Jason held the play together. A chorus of seven women, serving as com­ mentators on the action and Medea's confidantes, worked well in harmony to create a convincing atmosphere of tension and unrest. Always an emotionally difficult play, this treatment of a mother who kills her own children for revenge became dis­ turbingly powerful when brought into our own century.

Nearly 1,250 people attended the event at the Chapel of Resurrection. Helmuth Rilling, an internationally recognized German interpreter of Bachs music, conducted the performance. Rilling has spent the last 31 years as the artistic director for the Oregon Bach Festival and is the founder of the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart. He was recently awarded a Grammy. Also featured in the event were the VU Chorale, Symphony Orchestra, Bach Chamber Choir, and the Jubilate Choir of Valparaiso's Immanuel Lutheran Church. Two part-time instructors in the university's music department, Ralph Klapis and Maura Janton Cock, per­ formed solos. By: Becca Koenig _st_matthew Passion I 1 1 ;'i=i. mm- r*,T 1 sen 1ft- t *-*.

Melczek, Bishop of the Diocese of Gary, was on hand to dedicate the chapel and lead the Palm Sunday celebration. The new chapel, located at 1509 Laporte Ave., was previously the site of the CVS drug store. The St. T's community realized that they had outgrown their worship space, according to Fr. Kevin McCarthy, chaplain. After noticing that CVS was choosing to close their doors, St. T's inquired and made a presentation to the Bishop and Board of consultors in October. The commu­ nity began a plegdedrive campaign where parish­ ioners were asked to take a "Leap of Faith" and make a 3-year commitment to the campaign. In 3 weeks, community members raised a remark­ able $325,000. the renovation began on November 1 and was completed April 1. The new building included the pavement of a new parking lot behind the building. "I am very grateful for the commitment of the commPWos^Rac/,e,era unity and their dedication," Fr. Kevin said. 'The ownership the people have taken in this space has solidified the foundation of who we are as a church." 1 Photos by: Rodger Hoke Photo on opposite page by: Mike Kneeland Photos by: Rodger Hoke The VU Jazz Fest was a great expe­ rience for VU students and local high school students. The Jazz Fest spanned a five-day period. The first three days showcased the performances of various high school bands from around the area. On Friday, the VU Faculty Jazz Trio per­ formed with legendary jazz saxophonist Sonny Fortune. This was a unique oppor­ tunity for the community and the students to see a jazz legend. On Saturday, the VU jazz band had an afternoon of rehearsal with various members of the Diva Big Band, an all woman band, followed by an afternoon concert. Members of the VU Band said it was a wonderful experience working with these incredible musicians. They added, "we learned a lot about what it takes to play Big Band music. The Diva Big Band ended the festival by performing a concert on Saturday night... AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING!

I don't think the soccer players will miss it too much..., The Crusader baseball team finished the 2001 season with a 28-29 record, a 14 game turn-around from the previous season. A10 game mid- season winning streak sparked VU's success. The streak included four victories against Chicago State, and 1 wins against Northwestern,US- 111 Milwaukee, Western Illinois, Indiana Tech, and Ball State. Mark Pederson had another outstanding season. He led the Crusaders in hitting with a .364 bat­ ting average, 13 home runs, and 50 RBI's.

The rest of the season con­ tinued to be a rocky road, as VU fin­ ished with a 7-38 record. Despite the Crusaders' strug­ gles, there are signs of good things to come. Near the conclusion of the season, Valpo managed to pull out three victories in four games against Butler, and Mid-Continent foes Youngstown State and IUPUI. Experience will be the key for the Crusaders' next season, as they expect to return the entire squad. They will look to Amanda Gilbertson Photo by: Rodger Hoke to continue the success she con­ tributed as a freshman. Gilbertson led VU with a .308 batting average and a 2.90 ERA.

  • 2011 Annual Report from the President and Chair
    2011 ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CHAIR 2012 marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Buzzards Bay Coalition by a dedicated group of citizens spanning the Bay from Woods Hole to Westport. They were brought together by the loss of shellfish beds to contamination from sewage, by the ongoing threat of oil spills from barges, by toxic pollution in need of cleanup in New Bedford and at Otis, and by the spread of sprawl development and loss of open space throughout the watershed. In 1987, these problems were reaching an all-time peak and the Bay’s citizens came together to create a new future for our region’s environment. They believed that local citizens from all watershed towns should work together; for they had the most to gain from the Bay’s preservation and the most to lose by its degra- dation. They created the Buzzards Bay Coalition to carry forth that mission. So a sign was hung on a donated cadets room at Mass Maritime, a phone line estab- lished, and from the keys of a typewriter, the Bay Coalition began its work to build a citizens movement to clean up the Bay. The accomplishments in this 2011 Annual Report speak volumes about how far we’ve come as an organization and how the challenges facing our Bay have changed in the past quarter century. But one thing that remains as true today as it was in 1987 is that people are the engine of the Buzzards Bay Coalition. Our members and generous sup- porters who volunteer their time, money, and ideas are at the heart of our efforts and make our work possible.

You may check the accuracy of your assessment by dividing your assessment by the median level of assessment. The resulting value should equal the estimated fair cash value of your property. If the resulting value is greater than the estimated fair cash value of your property, you may be over-assessed. If the resulting value is less than the fair cash value of your property, you may be under-assessed. You may appeal your assessment to the Board of Review Illinois law requires assessed values of property, other than farmland and coal, are to be assessed of 33 1/3% of fair market value. Restrictions within Illinois law delay the change in property assessments caused by changes of actual property fair cash value. State law requires the assessed values are to be adjusted based upon data from the three prior calendar years before the assessment date. In appreciating markets, this forces current property assessments to lag behind recent sales prices, and in declining markets, the decline of assessed values is delayed. Contact your local assessor’s office to review your assessment if you believe the fair cash value is incorrect or you are not assessed uniformly with comparable properties in your neighborhood.

It marks the final resting place of the unnamed dead of this area who perished in the Great Famine of 1845-1847. An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger) was like a never-ending win­ ter. Its chill of desolation brought hunger, disease, and death. In Ireland the lone tree or Sceach was held in a position of high importance from early Celtic mythology to recent times.
