26th Annual Jim Kinnier Stanner Golf Classic<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"Molloy\u2019s largest all class reunion is a little over 3 weeks away! The 26th<\/sup> Annual Jim Kinnier Stanner Golf Classic on Monday, May 7th is shaping up to be a great day and, with a little luck from Mother Nature, it promises to be truly memorable. Invitations were sent out in February and we\u2019ve promoted the Classic in the Beehive over the past several weeks \u2013 and you have responded. A large number of foursomes are registered and eagerly awaiting their chance to take on the courses at North Hills and Plandome Country Clubs. The event journal is complete and full of ads promoting Stanner businesses as well as those of our generous corporate sponsors. Auction prizes from the NFL, NHL, NBA and Major League Baseball as well as exciting event tickets, vacations and more have arrived and are all available to the highest bidders. Add in the giveaway items, raffle prizes (including a trip to next year\u2019s Super Bowl, a trip to Las Vegas, and a 40\u201d Sharp Aquos TV), and the chance to spend the day with friends and fellow Stanners and you have a day well worth the price of admission.<\/p>\n

As always, Alumni Relations Director Maria Ford<\/strong> has done a fantastic job, preparing for this year\u2019s Stanner Golf Classic. Jim Kinnier and Joe Smith are once again back at Molloy to help prepare for the event \u2013 despite both being retired for several years. They wouldn\u2019t have it any other way, having originally pioneered the event along with the late John Gibbons in 1987. \u201cThe Three Amigos<\/a>\u201d as they came to be called went on to play a huge role in the success of the Stanner Golf Classic, and without their dedication and passion for Archbishop Molloy High School, this event would never have been possible. Also volunteering their time and efforts for the months leading up to the Classic\"\"<\/a> are the alumni, parents and friends on the Golf Committee. Members including Terence Conley \u201981, Fre<\/strong>d Dorgler \u201981, Neal Duffy \u201993, Gino Fazio \u201981, John Fazio \u201987, Jack Foley \u201971, Maria Ford, Joseph Gordon \u201964, P<\/strong>aul Gustafsson, Mark Heinemann \u201981, Brother Pat Hogan, Jeremiah Howard \u201979, William John<\/strong>son \u2019<\/strong>71, James Jordan \u201901, James Kelly \u201986, Jim Kinnier, James Lembo, Arthur L<\/strong>oeffler \u201973, Michael McGuire \u201981, Robert Metzger \u201988, Lou Milo \u201978, Robert O\u2019Donohue \u201994, Billy Rose (Honorary Stanner as of \u201996), Jerry Schumm \u201968, and Joe Smith <\/strong>deserve much thanks for all that they have done to make the Stanner Golf Classic a successful day for Molloy. In particular, our 2012 honorees deserve high recognition for their outstanding contributions. Chairman Chuck Tabone \u201968<\/strong> (pictured left) has done a fantastic job in realizing a large number of journal ads and corporate sponsorships and has truly set a high standard for future Chairmen to emulate. Likewise, Honorary Chairman A.J. Power \u201984<\/strong> (pictured right), longtime teacher and coach at Molloy, has taken his experience with the Golf Committee to the next level in selling an impressive number of raffle tickets. All this adds up to what promises to be one of the most successful Stanner Golf Classics yet.<\/p>\n

If you would like to be a part of the 26th Annual Jim Kinnier Stanner Golf Classic as a golfer, a volunteer, or in any other way please call 718.441.9210.<\/p>\n

Around the School<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

A Visit From The Queens ADA<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Mr. Neil Fenton \u201987<\/strong>, an Assistant District Attorney in Queens County, visited Molloy to serve as a guest speaker in Mr. Ed Shannon\u2019s (\u201984) <\/strong>Criminal Justice class. Neil started the session by talking a bit about his experience as a prosecutor working on various court cases including robberies, assaults, harassment claims, and homicides amongst other serious charges. \u201cI traveled far after graduating from Molloy\u2026all the way across the street to the Kew Gardens Courthouse,\u201d Neil joked. Neil then provided the circumstances of a real crime (using fake names), asking students to identify what kind of charges could be brought against the defendants. Neil described each charge involved in the case and why the defendants were vulnerable to them. Based on the circumstances in question, which included DWI and illegal gun charges against individuals of similar age to the senior class, Neil urged his fellow Stanners to avoid these types of situations altogether. \u201cEven if you don\u2019t believe you are committing a crime at that moment in time, if you\u2019re in a car with individuals that are breaking the law it can still lead to your arrest and possible conviction,\u201d explained Neil. The ADA went on to describe the timeline of events after an initial arrest before discussing how a jury is selected. The burden of proof then, Neil explained, is on him as the prosecutor to show that the evidence proves beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty as charged. \u201cThe defendant does not need to disprove his innocence. He does not have this burden.\u201d Before wrapping up this interesting discussion, Neil fielded questions from the class, which included those about his own professional career. While he couldn\u2019t pinpoint \u201cthe most interesting case\u201d that he has worked on (which any fan of Law & Order surely might be compelled to ask an ADA), he described several instances in which he was particularly surprised by the end result of the trial process, including a recent case in which the defendant was found innocent despite strong evidence Neil presented to the jury. Special thanks to Mr. Neil Fenton for volunteering his time to bring real world experience to our young Stanners.<\/p>\n

“A Great Achievement”<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ms. Mary Mallia<\/strong> is beaming with pride thanks to one of her junior students. Derrick Adam \u201913 <\/strong>earned the Yale Science and Engineering Award, <\/strong>which is given out in recognition of outstanding projects submitted by high school students. The award is designed to fuel a national effort to attract secondary school students into the science and engineering pipeline. Derrick, who is already interested in engineering as a junior at Molloy, researched past and current engineering designs in airports for this project, which involved creating a new sustainable airport design. Derrick worked with a professor at Cooper Union in studying the LEAD system (Leadership in Energy and Engineering Design) last summer and has continued to do so on his own time during the current school year. \u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in engineering,\u201d says Derrick.\u201d \u201cI interned with civil engineers already. That\u2019s where I met the professor from Cooper Union. I learned during my research that things don\u2019t usually turn out how you plan for them, because there are always so many improvements that can be made along the way.\u201d Correcting past mistakes and uncovering new improvements is Derrick\u2019s specialty. Fortunately for the ambitious junior, he was also awarded the United States Air Force Certificate of Achievement for his outstanding project in engineering. \u201cI\u2019m very proud of the work that I\u2019ve done,\u201d Derrick said with a smile. \u201cMost of my competitors were seniors from the best high schools in New York State. To be able to win 2 awards is just a great achievement.\u201d Adding to his already impressive resume, Derrick was the only Molloy participant at the NYC Science and Engineering Fair on March 4th<\/sup>. His experience was enlightening, as the judges were tough to impress yet helpful with their advice. \u201cThey told me to throw away my notes and think of the presentation as a conversation between the judges and I. It taught me how poised you need to be in explaining your research.\u201d Ms. Mallia commended Derrick, saying that all the students in the Science Research Program are very proud of his achievements.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>International Day – You’re Invited!
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

This Sunday, April 22nd<\/sup>, Molloy will host its 32nd<\/sup> annual International Day for over 1,000 Stanners, families, friends and alumni. An event devoted to exploring and experiencing a wide array of world cultures from all over the world, International Day features a diverse selection of unique and traditional food, music and other entertainment provided by students and their families.

Non scholae sed vitae<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>While waiting for helicopter transport on the flight line at \u201cthe big airbase\u201d in Southern Afghanistan, Chaplain Jim Krische \u201976<\/strong> and Andrew Jagusiak \u201966<\/strong> began to chat. Later on at their destination, Andrew joined Chaplain Krische for lunch. During their discussion they quickly discovered that they both grew up in Forest Hills, Queens and were in fact both Stanners. Lunch, as you would imagine, went long at that point as they shared many stories about their Molloy experiences.<\/p>\n

In November, Jim began a 1 year tour to offer the Catholic sacraments for the troops at various operating bases around Afghanistan. He encourages Stanners serving there, of all military branches, to say hi by way of email at james.krische@us.army.mil<\/a>. Jim hopes to be able to arrange more mini-reunions throughout his travels.<\/p>\n

Class Updates<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Andrew Tansey \u201977 <\/strong>had an interesting Stanner moment recently. Andrew was strolling around Bay Terrace with his father Bernie \u201945<\/strong> when out of a store walked a Frosh softball player in uniform. Father and son asked if the player was a Stanner, which led to a brief chat about the win over Holy Trinity that day. According to Andrew, the young Stanner is a center fielder and her triplet sister plays shortstop. \u201cWe are everywhere,\u201d Andrew said.<\/p>\n

\n

You\u2019re invited! Come and join Terrence Ford \u201998<\/strong> as he celebrates the Grand Opening of his BP gas station on Saturday, April 21 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.  The station is located at 4125 Hempstead Turnpike, corner of Stewart Avenue in Bethpage.  Stop by and say hello.  Raffles, food and music.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>After the St. Patrick\u2019s Day Parade in March, Greg Coburn \u201869<\/strong> stopped into the Church of St. Jean the Baptiste at 76th<\/sup> and Lexington Avenue for the 5:30 Mass. While there he picked up a flyer featuring a program highlighting the architecture of St. Jean\u2019s beautiful and majestic interior. Greg was reminded that the church is a continuing link to our St. Ann’s past and a reminder them that we are still connected to 76th and Lex.<\/p>\n
