Newsletter-FINAL.Docx POWER MEMORIAL ACADEMY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION, INC. POWER ALUM CONTRIBUTE OVER $75K TO THE “PAR” CHALLENGE THE DRIVE TO HELP ALL HALLOWS H.S CONTINUES Holding true to the Power Spirit, PMA alumni have been responding positively to the Power-All Hallows-Rice (“PAR”) Challenge. To date, approximately $75,000.00 has been contributed or pledged by PMA alum to the initiative. This amount will be matched by Rice High School alumnus, Joseph Murphy. Mr. Murphy’s challenge is seeking to raise $500,000 from the alumni of the three Edmund Rice Christian Brothers NYC high schools, namely, Power Memorial Academy, Rice High School and the only remaining ERCB high school, All Hallows High School. All Hallows High School, whose facilities are in urgent need of many structural and mechanical repairs, will be the beneficiary of the PAR Challenge proceeds. According to Sean Crowley, who represents PMA in this initiative, “These are difficult times and I’m thrilled by the response from the Power family. Each dollar raised ensures the young men at All Hallows will continue to receive the type of education that we all benefitted from at Power.” He is urging all Power alumni to continue to contribute to this worthwhile cause and prevent All Hallows from going the unfortunate route of both Power and Rice. If you have not already contributed to the PAR Challenge, you are still able to do so. There are two ways that you can contribute to this worthy cause: either by pledging a monthly donation or a one-time donation. Both methods may be paid for through your credit card or, by sending a check. There are other creative methods that you can help raise money for this cause. For instance, after the passing of his mother, Mary Eileen Crowley, Sean Crowley took an innovative approach in supporting the challenge by asking his friends and family to contribute to the PAR Challenge in lieu of flowers. This request resulted in contributions in excess of $14,000. Please see the attached PAR Challenge pledge form for payment details.

Minutes of the latest meetings are posted on the PMAAA website: www.PowerMemorialAcademy.com FILE: PMAAA Q1 2021 Newsletter-FINAL.docx PMAAA Newsletter – April 2021 Page 2 THE POWER OF THE RING This is an incredible and uplifting story of how a Power class ring that was lost by a PMA alum, made its way to the prop department at the Kaufman Studios in Astoria, appeared in a TV sitcom episode, used as an engagement ring, and eventually returned several years later to its owner. The story begins in 1992 with a Power class ring being found on a street a few blocks away from the Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens. The finder of the ring, who worked at the studio, subsequently gave the ring to the studio’s prop department. When a ring was needed as a prop for an episode of the 1990’s television sitcom Here and Now, which was taped at the Kaufman Studios, the recently found Power ring was chosen. The scene that the ring appears in involves the star of the sitcom, Malcom Jamal Warner. He plays a character who used the ring while asking his classmate to go steady. One of the writers of the show was a gentleman named Mike Milligan. At that time, Mike was in a relationship with his present wife, Jill. She also worked on that same show. After the completion of the scene in which Malcom Jamal Warner used the ring to ask his classmate to go steady, Warner suggested that Jill use this ring to propose to Mike and not wait for him to propose to her—which she did! Thus, the Power class ring became an engagement ring. After the proposal, Mike was thrilled to have the ring both as a symbol of his engagement to Jill and, being a huge L.A. Laker fan, he knew that Laker star, Kareem Abdul- Jabbar, had attended Power. Mike Milligan (right) tries on the Power class ring after Jill (left) used the ring to propose to Mike after a taping of the sitcom Here Mike and Jill Milligan eventually moved and Now. (Photo Courtesy of Mike Milligan) back to Los Angeles where they continued their involvement in TV. Mike is a talented writer who has written and produced several television sitcoms, including: Good Times, The Jefferson’s, and What’s Happening. In addition to their television work, both Mike and Jill (Story continues on page 6) PMAAA Newsletter – April 2021 Page 3 PMAAA CONTINUES HALL OF FAME PODCASTS Adding to the successful HOF broadcast that was introduced in November 2020 which featured HOF member Maurice Weaver, the Power alumni association has produced two other podcasts which are available on YouTube. The first of the two new PMAAA podcasts features Power basketball star Jap Trimble. Jap, a PMA 1970 graduate, was twice inducted into the PMAAA Hall of Fame. First as a member of the 1970 City Championship team, and as an individual in 2020. The other HOF podcast includes Len Elmore who is also a two-time HOF inductee and a member of the class of 1970. Len was inducted as an individual in 2012, then again in 2013 as a member of the 1970 City Championship team. In addition to being the 1970 CHSAA City Champions, the 1970 Power varsity team was also rated the number one high school team in the country. Both podcasts were hosted by another PMA HOF member, Steve Kallas. PMAAA Board member, Dennis Mooney, provided postproduction editing. During the course of each interview, Steve probed the backgrounds of both Jap Trimble and Len Elmore seeking the reasons why they ended up choosing Power as their high school. Both Trimble and Elmore shared interesting stories as to how they eventually became Jap Trimble and Len Elmore being interviewed by Steve Kallas. Powermen. After graduating from PMA, the University of Maryland became the college of choice for both Elmore and Trimble. Each spoke of their fascinating stories of their successful college basketball careers at the University of Maryland. Kallas went on to explore the very impressive post college careers that both of the Hall of Famers enjoyed. The duration of each interview is approximately one hour and is well worth the time to view. The Jap Trimble interview may be viewed by clicking the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ7MyGjX1fM&t=37s. The link for the Len Elmore interview is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNTQKtO7_tc&t=42s. In addition to the Len Elmore and Jap Trimble podcasts, PMAAA Board member Rick Martin hosted a Broadcast: “Musical Memories of the PMA Band” on Thursday, May 13 at 7 PM. The broadcast featured members of the PMAAA Band, including HOF member Lou Panacciulli and PMAAA President Chick Pisani. The group shared memories of Mr. Morra, Mr. Ingram and Mr. Cassidy who all taught music at PMA. The broadcast was kicked off by the playing a recording of the Power Alma Mater that was recorded by the PMA Band and Glee Club in the 1960s. The evening would not be complete if the annual PMA Christmas Concert favorite tune, Midnight in Moscow, was not played. Although the turn out was not as large as anticipated, the broadcast was thoroughly enjoyed by all participants. Rick Martin welcomes suggestions of topics for future broadcasts. Rick may be contacted at [email protected] or on the PMAAA Facebook page.

  • Authentic Expression of Edmund Rice Christian Brother Education
    226 Catholic Education/December 2007 AUTHENTIC EXPRESSION OF EDMUND RICE CHRISTIAN BROTHER EDUCATION RAYMOND J. VERCRUYSSE, C.F.C. University of San Francisco The Congregation of Christian Brothers (CFC), a religious community which continues to sponsor and staff Catholic high schools, began in Ireland with the vision of Edmund Rice. This article surveys biographical information about the founder and details ongoing discussions within the community directed toward preserving and growing Rice’s vision in contemporary Catholic schools. BACKGROUND n 1802, Edmund Rice directed the laying of the foundation stone for IMount Sion Monastery and School. After several previous attempts of instructing poor boys in Waterford, this was to be the first permanent home for the Congregation of Christian Brothers. Rice’s dream of founding a reli- gious community of brothers was becoming a reality with a school that would reach out to the poor, especially Catholic boys of Waterford, Ireland. Edmund Rice grew up in Callan, County Kilkenny. The Rice family was described as “a quiet, calm, business people who derived a good living from the land and were esteemed and respected” (Normoyle, 1976, p. 2). Some historians place the family farm in the Sunhill townland section of the coun- ty. The family farm was known as Westcourt. It was at Westcourt that Robert Rice and Margaret Tierney began a life together. However, “this life on the family farm was to be lived under the partial relaxation of the Penal Laws of 1782” (Normoyle, 1976, p. 3). This fact would impact the way the Rice family would practice their faith and limit their participation in the local Church.

  • History of Bergen Catholic.Pdf
    1 Blessed Edmund I. Rice 1762 – 1844 Founder of the Congregation of Christian Brothers The story of Bergen Catholic begins over 200 years ago with the founding of the Congregation of Christian Brothers in Waterford, Ireland by Blessed Edmund Rice. Blessed Edmund Rice was the fourth of seven sons. He was born in Ireland at Westcourt, Callan, on June 10, 1762. Because of a long period of religious persecution in Ireland, Edmund was forced to seek his education at a “hedge school” in Callan. At the age of 17, he was apprenticed to his uncle, Michael Rice, who owned a growing export business in Waterford City. At 25, he married Mary Elliot. Two years later, while expecting a child, she died. Their daughter, who outlived Edmund, was an invalid all her life. In 1795, Edmund’s uncle died and Edmund succeeded him in his business. He was now a wealthy man and was noted for his charity to the poor, but he Blessed Edmund Rice wanted to do more with his life. He became very concerned with the conditions of poverty and ignorance that surrounded him on the streets of Waterford. After several years of prayer and reflection, he decided to dedicate his talents and resources to the education of the poor. In 1802, he opened his first school for poor boys in converted stables in New Street, Waterford. A year later, he moved to his permanent school at Mount Sion, Waterford. One of the unique characteristics of this new school was the addition of a bakery and a tailor shop so that Edmund could make certain that his students were clothed and fed.

Over the years, the school had been poorly managed and was badly rundown. It was handed over to the Christian Brothers by the bishop in a very bad state some six years ago. Since the Brothers took over the school, the conditions have greatly improved. Classrooms have been renovated, roofs repaired, and seating accommodation provided. Water supply, toilets and other hygiene facilities have also been installed. The academic standard is going from strength to strength as well under the new management, with overall scores improved by 80%. This is an amazing achievement as many of the teachers at Kanvilli are still not on the government payroll and are essentially working as volunteers.
