(continued on Page 14) Our Principal’s Message P a g e 2 Greetings to our treasured graduates and friends of Catholic Central (St. Mary’s) High School: As our hearts and minds turn toward the celebration of our 100th anniversary in 2020, our thoughts turn to you, our graduates, as we make plans to position CC for the next generations of students to be formed in the Catholic faith, armed with rigorous, academic knowledge, and steeped in our almost 100 year tradition of excellence. Our thoughts also turn to our founding patronesses, the School Sisters of Notre Dame. These courageous women ventured into the small, rural community of Burlington, Wisconsin with missionary zeal to educate and form the children in this area because they believed in transforming the world through education. Impelled by the Spirit and mission of Jesus, we strive to continue their global vision of a world that can be changed through the individual transformation of young people. Simply stated, the Sisters believed that a K-12 Catholic School System was important for the communities in Southeastern Wisconsin. They understood that students educated in faith would become a productive community of citizens who would be more likely to engage in service to the poor, be more tolerant of cultural diversity, participate in the local government, become business owners, and most importantly, continue in their faith journey by being active members in their parishes. The Sisters are role models for us as we take up their mission for Catholic Central. Now, we must all join together to ensure that Catholic education continues to flourish. We must preserve their charisms and in gratitude for the opportunities that they afforded to so many, we must take up their missionary zeal and contribute to make sure that CCHS is secure for generations to come. We have heard countless stories of Sisters who have inspired our alumni to pursue their dreams. One had a dream to become a teacher, another needed support to attend college, still another needed to be guided as a wayward youth to graduation, and one was even coaxed by a Sister to ask a girl to prom that later became his wife! Every single graduate has a story of how our school shaped and influenced their lives. These lives have, in turn, shaped our community, and yes, they are even transforming the world. Your financial and spiritual support is not only critical to our on-going educational efforts, you are living testimonies of the value of Catholic Education and the charisms that the SSND founded so long ago. A former Catholic school principal once said, “In good times, a Catholic Education is a great opportunity, but in trying times, a Catholic Education is a beacon of hope in a troubled world.” At Catholic Central, we are grateful to you, our alumni, who are our “beacons of hope.” With Topper Pride, Bonnie J. Scholz, NBCT, Principal P a g e 3 Letter from the Athletic Director by Tom Aldrich ‘78 2018-19 was a rewarding year for our athletic teams this past fall and winter. Improvement was seen across all of our fall and winter sports from the previous year. Of particular note was the conference championship and WIAA state championship won by our girls volleyball team! That state championship was the 51st state championship in athletics for our school! It was great to be able to add to our schools outstanding legacy in athletics. The volleyball team was led by Coach Wayne Schultz. This was his first year at the helm of the program for Catholic Central. We are all proud of the results of this season, which was the culmination of a lot of hard work and effort by coach and his staff but most importantly, his athletes! Congratulations to all of them! This spring, excitement is all around, as each of our teams hold high hopes for their upcoming season. We have a head coaching change in softball this year. Longtime coach, Bill Greskiw decided to retire at the end of last year's season. We are grateful for all he has done for our school over the years. We have replaced him with co-head coaches. They are: long time assistant coach, Carol Robers and someone new to our program, Steve Kirst. We were thrilled to find such high quality candidates for the job. Their passion for the girls and the sport of softball is exciting to be around. We wish them much success now and in the years ahead. The growth of our students, both on and off their respective fields of play, has been most impressive this year. I am extremely proud of our coaching staffs and equally impressed and proud of the attitude and effort put forth by our student athletes throughout this school year. Did you know that 25% of our students are three season athletes???? The spirit, pride and tradition of being a “Hilltopper” is alive and well. We are honored and grateful to have student/athletes who are willing to follow in the tradition steeped footsteps, of our alumni! Topper Pride!

Participants took it for granted that we were already living in a multi-tier EU. They did not, however, agree on the number and nature of the emerging tiers. Some thought that the euro would be only one amongst several emerging clusters. Additional clusters would evolve around foreign policy or immigration, and they would all overlap. Other participants, however, were convinced that the EU would fall apart into a eurozone core and an increasingly marginalised group of euro ‘outs’. Many participants thought that the euro would require stronger economic governance to survive, including a fiscal union and a much bigger central budget. In such a scenario, the barriers to entry into the single currency would increase, turning euro pre-ins into permanent outs. Some participants thought that a banking union consisting of common supervision and a deposit insurance fund would be enough to make the euro sustainable. This minimal solution would have less severe implications for the structure of the EU. Many people at the event worried that in a multi-tier EU the single market would fragment, or that it might even be rolled back.

  • Institutional Innovation in the EU: the Presidency of the European Council (ARI)
    Area: Europe ARI 47/2010 Date: 16/3/2010 Institutional Innovation in the EU: The Presidency of the European Council (ARI) Carlos Closa * Theme: Herman Van Rompuy’s incumbency is likely to define the future content and scope of the position of President of the European Council.1 Summary: The short period of time that has elapsed since the designation of the first permanent President of the European Council makes it difficult to make any assessment so far. However, beyond the formal aspects, how the incumbent performs will be decisive for the posts future consideration. Furthermore, this initial moment is critical in that it will probably set the course to be followed in the future. How Van Rompuy manages is likely to affect the position’s definition and scope as much as Javier Solana’s incumbency shaped the post of High Representative. Analysis: The Organ’s Genesis Differently to other institutional innovations in the EU, the Presidency of the European Council established by the Treaty of Lisbon has not been long in the making. It appeared on the agenda at the beginning of the Convention on the Future of Europe. According to Peter Norman’s account of events (Norman, 2004, p. 138), Jack Straw was the first to moot the idea that rotating chairs at the European Council should be considered.2 Subsequently, in March 2002, Jacques Chirac mentioned for the first time a ‘President of the European Union’ (sic), arguing that the current system of rotating Presidencies would not be viable in an enlarged Union and, hence, that the EU’s leaders should

Trechsel 2014 The European Union Democracy Observatory (EUDO, www.eudo.eu ) is an independent and inter disciplinary organisation fully-integrated within the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) at the European University Institute. Its declared goals are: to translate scientific and acade mic research on the key issues of European democ- racy into policy relevant and publicly-understandable outputs, to produce a permanent and periodic evaluation of democratic practices within the EU and to develop practical suggestions for improving democratic performance in the EU. EUDO wants to serve as a forum where research results, experiences, ideas, and good practices can be exchanged between scholars and policy-makers. The mission of EUDO is above all to gather docu- mentation and data, to provide basic and applied research reports for EU institutions, and to foster dialogue between policy-makers, academics and EU citizens.

  • Five Minutes with Richard Corbett

Van Rompuy is not President of Europe in the way that President Obama is President of the United States. There is no overall President of Europe. Each institution, in a system of checks and balances, has its own President, and he has the dif f icult task of chairing the institution that is perhaps the most dif f icult of all to chair, which is the European Council.
