A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Our March of Excellence “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you . plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).” Greetings, Scecina Community! I have great news! Scecina Memorial High School has received approval from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis to undertake the bold and exciting initiative of a forward-looking capital campaign. This initiative will be the first of its kind in Scecina’s history. It will be a transformative step in our never-ending march of excellence—living the Gospel and attaining the best possible results in all that we do. The campaign will seek gifts of prayer, service, and treasure for the following priorities that emerged from our Strategic Growth Plan, stakeholder discussion groups, and personal interviews: • Constructing new exterior sports and activity fields • Constructing a chapel inside the school building • Modernizing and relocating the weight room to the school building • Renovating the main entrance on Nowland Avenue while making it handicap accessible and more visitor-friendly • Establishing an Academic Excellence Fund • Expanding our Facilities Endowment Fund. The organizational phase of the campaign is underway and will continue into 2018. Scecina alumni and friends locally and nationally will then receive more information and invitations to participate during the following 12 months. Guiding the campaign will be an Executive Committee consisting of these alumni and friends: Mary A. (Robinson, 1961) and David S. Allen George Newhart (1960) Dr. Sheila (McNelis, 1979) Gamache and Bob Bates Mike and Anne (Mullin) O’Connor Chris (1987) and Paje (Etling) Felts Bob Golobish, Vice President of Advancement Lori (Watts, 1977) and Kevin Johnson (1977) Jean (Kriech, 1985) Donlan, Campaign Coordinator Nancy (Wagner, 1985) and Kris Leming Joe Therber, President We are in the process of inviting and enlisting Honorary Chairs, National Advisors and additional campaign leaders. Scecina has retained the consulting services of the Institute for School and Parish Development (www.ispd.com) to help guide the campaign. As a school community, we have made significant progress in every facet of Scecina. For example, once more we have received an A rating from the Indiana Department of Education. We modernized 24 classrooms over the summer and have a new principal, Dr. Joseph Brettnacher. In this issue of the magazine you will learn more about each of these steps forward. Let me conclude by saying that I am truly excited to see our capital campaign unfold and want to thank you in advance for your prayers, suggestions, and support. Peace and blessings, Joseph S. Therber President FATHER SCECINA MAGAZINE | WINTER 2017 1 NOWLAND news CONGRATULATIONS, SCECINA COMMUNITY Scecina has again earned an A grade from the Indiana Department of Education school accountability rating system. The state’s school accountability system uses multiple measurements of academic performance and progress, including graduation rates; standardized test scores in Mathematics and English/Language arts; and measurable indicators of college and career readiness. Schools receive grades from A-F. Indiana’s Growth Model tracks students’ academic progress from one school year to the next using standardized test scores. A significant dimension of Scecina’s A rating is the students’ test score growth from middle school to high school. “I commend our students for believing in their growth potential, our teachers for fostering a growth mindset, and our parents for all they do,” said Scecina President Joe Therber. President Therber said he was especially happy to see the school rated highly for preparing students for college and career. “School accountability is but a pathway to higher goals,” he said. “At Scecina, we want every college-bound student to identify and gain acceptance to his or her college or university of choice.” n STATE RECOGNITION MEETING PEOPLE’S NEEDS Thanks to everyone who supported the Student FOR AP EXAM SCORES Council’s annual canned food drive for St. Vincent de Paul in November.

The school received a personal 10th Grade: 1,357 Faculty & Staff: 852 congratulatory note from Dr. McCormick. 11th Grade: 1,849 “As you know, Advanced Placement courses are a great benefit to Indiana students,” she wrote. The drive is a perfect example “These classes challenge students and prepare of “following Jesus’ example of them for life beyond high school. I want to meeting people’s applaud the teachers and staff at your school needs,” which is a for their commitment to challenging students phrase from the inside the classroom and providing them rigorous school’s mission learning opportunities.

The students hailed from Andalusia in southern Spain; several came from the capital city of Seville and others live in smaller towns. They came as part of a short-term program of Foreign Links Around the Globe (FLAG), an international student exchange program. “It’s great that Scecina has the ability to bring people together,” said John Hegarty, Scecina’s Vice President of Community Initiatives and also the head of the international student program. “It does foster life-long friendships. It was amazing for me to see the close friendships that developed in such a short time.” Lily Anderson and Gabby Heaps arrived at Scecina in November from New Zealand.

  • Births, Marriages & Deaths from the Carbon Advocate 1882-1883
    Births, Marriages & Deaths From The Carbon Advocate, 1882-1883 This is the fifth in a series of vital records extracted from the Lehighton Newpaper, The Carbon Advocate. Like the previous parts, in extracting the births, marriages & deaths, I have not included the following types of items: 1. Items that did not pertain to Carbon or the surrounding counties. I excluded anything west and south of Berks County, and south of Lehigh & Northampton Counties. I generally included anything north of Carbon county. 2. Estate notices. 3. Murder trials. 4. Coroner inquests when they are not part of the original death notice. In extracting these records, I have copied items as completely and exactly as possible. I have not attempted to correct any spelling errors. If I felt a need to add any text, I did so in brackets. Although most of the papers on microfilm were easy to read, there were some times where the image quality made things difficult. Because of this, researchers are advised to consult the original records. Volume 10, Number 7, Saturday, January 7, 1882 Local and Personal.

  • Dave Behrman
    Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com Dave Behrman This article was written by Budd Bailey. It’s a given that playing football can take a toll on a person. Even so, Dave Behrman was particularly unlucky in this area. Not only was his promising career cut short by physical problems, but Behrman’s quality of life also suffered well past the time that the game was just a memory for him. David Wesley Behrman was born on November 9, 1941, in Dowagiac, Michigan. That’s a small town in the southwest corner of the state, located about 25 miles north of South Bend, Indiana, and 25 miles southeast of Benton Harbor, Michigan. Dowagiac’s biggest celebrity (literally and figuratively) might be Chris Taylor, the 412-pound wrestler who won a bronze medal for the United States at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. Dave’s father was Chauncey Orville Behrman, who was born in Volinia – just east of Dowagiac. Mother Freda was born in Sturgis – about an hour southeast of Volinia near the Indiana state line. Dave was an only child. Behrman stayed in Dowagiac through his childhood, and attended Dowagiac Union High School. That facility had only one other pro football player among its alumni. Vern Davis played three games at cornerback for the 1971 Philadelphia Eagles. Information about Dave’s time with the Chieftains is tough to find. We do know that Behrman was on his way to become something of a giant on the line, since he reportedly checked in at 280 1 Professional Football Researchers Association www.profootballresearchers.com pounds at that stage of his life.

  • Rewriting Universes: Post-Brexit Futures in Dave Hutchinson’S Fractured Europe Quartet
    humanities Article Rewriting Universes: Post-Brexit Futures in Dave Hutchinson’s Fractured Europe Quartet Hadas Elber-Aviram Department of English, The University of Notre Dame (USA) in England, London SW1Y 4HG, UK; [email protected] Abstract: Recent years have witnessed the emergence of a new strand of British fiction that grapples with the causes and consequences of the United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union. Building on Kristian Shaw’s pioneering work in this new literary field, this article shifts the focus from literary fiction to science fiction. It analyzes Dave Hutchinson’s Fractured Europe quartet— comprised of Europe in Autumn (pub. 2014), Europe at Midnight (pub. 2015), Europe in Winter (pub. 2016) and Europe at Dawn (pub. 2018)—as a case study in British science fiction’s response to the recent nationalistic turn in the UK. This article draws on a bespoke interview with Hutchinson and frames its discussion within a range of theories and studies, especially the European hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer. It argues that the Fractured Europe quartet deploys science fiction topoi to interrogate and criticize the recent rise of English nationalism. It further contends that the Fractured Europe books respond to this nationalistic turn by setting forth an estranged vision of Europe and offering alternative modalities of European identity through the mediation of photography and the redemptive possibilities of cooking. Keywords: speculative fiction; science fiction; utopia; post-utopia; dystopia; Brexit; England; Europe; Dave Hutchinson; Fractured Europe quartet Citation: Elber-Aviram, Hadas. 2021.

  • The Lost Boys of Bird Island
    Tafelberg To the lost boys of Bird Island – and to all voiceless children who have suffered abuse by those with power over them Foreword by Marianne Thamm Secrets, lies and cover-ups In January 2015, an investigative team consisting of South African and Belgian police swooped on the home of a 37-year-old computer engineer, William Beale, located in the popular Garden Route seaside town of Plettenberg Bay. The raid on Beale came after months of meticulous planning that was part of an intercontinental investigation into an online child sex and pornography ring. The investigation was code-named Operation Cloud 9. Beale was the first South African to be arrested. He was snagged as a direct result of the October 2014 arrest by members of the Antwerp Child Sexual Exploitation Team of a Belgian paedophile implicated in the ring. South African police, under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Heila Niemand, cooperated with Belgian counterparts to expose the sinister network, which extended across South Africa and the globe. By July 2017, at least 40 suspects had been arrested, including a 64-year-old Johannesburg legal consultant and a twenty-year-old Johannesburg student. What police found on Beale’s computer was horrifying. There were thousands of images and videos of children, and even babies, being abused, tortured, raped and murdered. In November 2017, Beale pleaded guilty to around 19 000 counts of possession of child pornography and was sentenced to fifteen years in jail, the harshest punishment ever handed down in a South African court for the possession of child pornography.

  • Tim Shiels DF
    TS - Tim Shiels DF - Dave Frisch TS – Dave, how were you first introduced to the sport of wrestling? DF – I had 3 older brothers who wrestled, they dragged me to wrestling practice when I was in elementary school. By 7th grade, I thought I could be pretty good at wrestling. As an 8th grader, I broke into the high school JV team and as a 10th grader I made the varsity squad near the end of the season. During my 3 years on the Varsity at St. James High School in Minnesota, we never lost a dual meet and we won the One Class 1972 State Championship - a huge accomplishment for a small school from a town of 4,000. TS – What were some of the triumphs, disappointments and favorite memories you recall both as a high school and college wrestler? DF – In high school and college I had great teammates, many of my college teammates, Jerry Schmidt, Chuck Seifert, Steve Wenker and Bruce Campbell are my closest friends to this day. Bruce Campbell was a great wrestler and helped me tremendously at Worthington Junior College. Paul Kruger at St. James and John Oxton at St. Cloud State University were outstanding coaches. Many of my teammates at St. Cloud State, like me, started at Junior College, we connected and were truly a team. My greatest disappointment as a wrestler in both high school and college, was that I always finished 1 match short. In my senior year of high school, the top 2 finishers at the Regional Tournament advanced to State – I placed 3rd.

  • Podcast Transcription Fly by Night: Captain Dave Chase, November
    Podcast Transcription Fly by Night: Captain Dave Chase, November 2020 Captain Chris Lee My guest today is Captain Dave Chase, MEC Chairman. Thanks for coming, Dave. Captain Dave Chase How are you doing, Chris? Captain Chris Lee You recently put out a comm to the pilots to inform them of the MEC invoking Section 5.B.4.b of the CBA. Talk to the pilots about what that section is and what that process entails. Captain Dave Chase OK, happy to. That's similar to a grievance, but it's related to Lodging and Rest Facilities. So Section 5.B is Lodging and Rest Facilities and when you get down to 5.B.4.b you start talking about how we address problems and concerns with layover facilities and whether or not they meet the quality and standards that we expect in the collective bargaining agreement. Clearly, the hotel and Guangzhou is not meeting that. I think the Company has put out some pretty clear FCIFs on how they feel about it as well in their attempts to change the hotel. But we believe they've had enough time after we met with them through the Trip Services Committee as the collective bargaining agreement specifies. We didn't feel like they were taking action in a timely manner and given the extreme nature of some of the reports and the difficulties in getting proper food and rest, we felt it was important to elevate to the Vice President of Flight Ops. So we sent that letter over yesterday and like we do any time we grieve or send a letter over, we notify the pilots.
