PETE TIMMES

Pete Timmes enters his sixth season at the helm of the

Pioneers, following one of the most sucessful seasons in

C.W. Post baseball history, as the Pioneers posted a 32-16-1

record, setting a new program mark for wins in a season.

Th e Pioneers won the East Coast Conference championship

title and advanced to their second NCAA Regional in three

years, where they garnered their fi rst regional victory in

over 25 years, a 4-1 victory over Dominican.

Two years prior, the Pioneers had just as sucessful a

season, as Timmes led the 2008 squad to its fi rst-ever East

Coast Conference Championship title and fi rst NCAA ap-

pearance since 1985, when he was an infi elder on the team.

In addition, six of his players were named to the 2008 ECC

All-Conference team.

Timmes’ 2007 team posted just the second 30-win sea-

son in school history, going 30-19, including a 17-10 mark

in ECC play while advancing to the fi nals of the East Coast

Conference Championships.

In his fi ve years as head coach, Timmes has posted 116

wins thus far and has seen numerous players named all-

conference and all-region.

A former player and assistant coach, Timmes gained

experience and knowledge while serving for 21 seasons as

an assistant under legendary head coach Dick Vining.

Th e Pioneers have experienced great success during

Timmes’ involvement with the program, beginning in 1984,

11 seasons where they have registered 20 or more wins.

As a member of the Diamond Conference during the

early 1990’s, the Pioneers were regular season champions in

1989, 1991 and 1993 and qualifi ed for the ECAC Regional.

C.W. Post also captured a regular season title in 1998 as a

member of the Mid-Continent Eastern Division.

As a player at C.W. Post, Timmes helped his team to 45

wins between 1984 and 1985. His senior year, Timmes led

the Pioneers to a 28-11 record and to an NCAA Division

II Tournament berth in which he batted .365 and stole a

record 33 bases, which still stands. In the summer of 1985,

the Pioneers played six exhibition games in China.

Th e long-time coach is also the department’s Eligibility

Coordinator. In addition, Timmes has also been an instruc-

tor with the New York Baseball Academy for the past 18

years.

Th e C.W. Post Baseball Hall of Fame inductee resides in

Hector Aristy begins his fi fth season at C.W. Post, aiding in all

facets of the program.

Aristy joined the C.W. Post staff in 2007, following three years

as the head coach at Old Westbury College. At Old Westbury, Aristy

took over the helm of the Panthers in 2004, where he guided the team

to 21 victories that earned a bid and the No. 2 seed in the ECAC

Metro Regional Tournament. During that time, the Panthers hit .300

and were nationally ranked in three separate NCAA categories.

Prior to head coaching at Old Westbury, Aristy served as the team’s hitting coach

and recruiting coordinator, beginning in 1995. Th e Panthers reached the NCAA Regional in

1997, 2000 and 2001 and led the Knickerbocker Conference in numerous off ensive categories.

A former player at Old Westbury from 1992-94, Aristy was a two-time captain and was twice

named the Most Valuable Player.

Aristy received his bachelor of arts degree from Old Westbury in Secondary Edu-

cation with a concentration in Spanish. He later completed his masters degree in School

Counseling at C.W. Post. With nine years of teaching experience as a school teacher, Aristy is

currently teaching in the Foreign Language department at Island Trees High School.

Aristy is a longtime instructor at the New York Baseball Academy. His role there in-

cludes assisting in coordination of the summer satellite and winter indoor programs, located

at Old Westbury. He resides in Farmingdale, N.Y. with his wife, Erin, and daughters, Brittany,

Kayleigh and Madison.

in the 1982 Northeast Regionals. He also was as a coach for the Long

Island Red Sox summer league team from 1995-2003.

During his playing days, Gaff ney was selected in the 19th round of the 1979 draft and

played two seasons in the Seattle Mariners organization.

Gaff ney and his wife, Maureen, live in Westbury, N.Y., and are the parents of three sons:

Mike, who played fi ve years in the Kansas City Royals farm system before retiring; Kevin,

Dick Vining, the dean of New York metropolitan collegiate baseball

coaches, enters his fourth season as a Pioneer assistant, following 28

years as the head coach of the Pioneers.

As head coach, Vining had more than 800 wins, with more than

500 of those coming in the dugout of the Pioneers. During the 2003

season, he passed two impressive milestones by not only capturing

victory number 800, but also 1,000 games as the Pioneers’ tutor.

It was under Vining’s direction that the Pioneers captured Diamond

Conference championships in fi ve of their last seven seasons in the conference.

Vining holds the distinction of being the fi rst collegiate baseball coach in New York State

to reach the 600-win plateau, with C.W. Post enjoying 15 winning seasons under Vining’s

tutelage.

Th e C.W. Post baseball team had a season for the

record books in 2010, as the Pioneer posted 32 wins

- the most in school history - won an ECC Champion-

ship, and advanced to the NCAA East Regional, where

they won a contest for the fi rst time in over 25 years,

knocking out Dominican with a 4-1 victory. But gradu-

ation took nine seniors - including six four-year starters

- leaving the Pioneers with a very young, but extremely

talented squad with enormous potential. Th e team’s

success will be determined by how quickly several

younger players can step

up at make an impact at

the collegiate level.

Pitching

Despite the loss of

three seniors who were the

anchor of last year’s pitch-

ing staff , there is returning

talent combined with solid

newcomers that should

make the Pioneer pitching

staff a strength yet again.

Sophomore Bo Budkevics

(Deer Park, N.Y.) makes his

return to green and gold

after spending last year

at Nassau CC. A mature

pitching who gained good

experience throwing in the

junior college world series

last season at Nassau, Bud-

kevics is a hard throwing

righty who will be a top-

notch starter.

Following a strong

freshman season on the

mound, Kevin Chen-

icek (Levittown, N.Y.) will be counted on for the same

performance this season. A consistent and reliable arm,

Chenicek’s strengths are control and location, and he

will provide the Pioneers with strong starts.

Junior Glen Hudson (West Sayville, N.Y.) has been

slowed by injuries over the past two seasons, but came

through with a key start at the end of last season, giv-

ing a glimpse of his potential if he can stay injury free.

Hudson’s pinpoint location and assortment of breaking

pitches are two of the lefty’s strengths.

Junior transfer James Stone (Massapequa, N.Y.) is

coming off an injury, but had an outstanding summer

in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League, earning

ACBL All-Star honors. As Stone works back into game

shape, he could potentially be used in both a starting

and relief capacity.

Another Nassau CC product who went to the

JUCO World Series last season is transfer Paul Bis-

choff (Levittown, N.Y.). Bischoff has an outstanding

knuckle drop and has the ability to keep batters off bal-

ance.

Sophomore Rafael

Martinez (Bronx, N.Y.)

transfers from Concordia,

and the hard throwing right-

hander will see starts for the

Pioneers this season as he

has good movement and a

team-fi rst attitude.

Freshman Mike Eckerle

(Hewlett, N.Y.) could see

some spot starts as well as

come out of the bullpen, as

Timmes will look to utilize

Eckerle’s size and raw ability

as the freshman continues

to develop throughout the

season. Connor McCarthy

(Westbury, N.Y.) is another

tall and athletic pitcher with

an explosive fastball who

could be utilized in a variety

of situations for the Pio-

neers.

Sophomores Ryan

O’Kelly (New Hyde Park,

N.Y.) and Josh Laufer (East

Northport, N.Y.) will join

freshman P.J. Jennings (Morristown, N.J.) as three

pitchers with potential to see time as starters or in

relief. O’Kelly has an unorthodox delivery that adds to

his eff ectiveness, while Laufer is a hard-throwing righty

who missed last year due to injury, but with a clean bill

of health, could make an impact this season. Jennings

is an athletic player with a good running fastball who

will also see time in the fi eld when not on the mound.

Senior Marshall Kapson (Commack, N.Y.) will

head up the relief corps, as the tall right hander com-

2011 season

ou

tloo

k

Glen HudsonGlen Hudson

mands the zone very well and is an effi cient pitcher. He

threw well out of the bullpen last season and the Pio-

neers will look for a repeat from the senior.

Michael Behar (Tottenville, N.Y.) returns for his

third year with the Pioneers and will see signifi cant

innings in relief as the hard-throwing righty will be

brought in to shut down the other team in tight games.

Four returners have the potential to see time given

the situation, as Steve Plochochi (Sayville, N.Y.) and

Greg Byrnes (Mount Sinai, N.Y.) are both breaking ball

pitchers who will not only

provide bullpen options but

experience and leadership to

the pitching staff . Brian Tar-

dif (Mattituck, N.Y.) and John

Swertfager (Katonah, N.Y.)

will provide depth as well,

and will work to control their

pitches and command the

zone as they work back into

clean bills of health.

Several freshmen will

look for experience as they

provide depth in their rookie

seasons. Frank Catalano

(Brooklyn, N.Y.) is a control

pitcher who changes speeds

well. Brandon Kruel (Sag

Harbor, N.Y.) is a tall, lanky

freshman with a good cur-

veball who will continue to

develop. John Susino (West

Hempstead, N.Y.) is a young

pitcher with a live arm who

works ahead and could see

signifi cant innings.

Infi eld

Returning to backstop the Pioneers is sophomore

catcher Anthony Corona (Carmel, N.Y.). A tough,

gritty player, Corona provides power in the middle of

the order, and behind the plate, he is a good communi-

cator and handles the pitching staff well.

Also seeing time behind the plate is sophomore

transfer Matt Simone (West Islip, N.Y.), who joins the

Pioneers after two seasons at Iona. An athletic player

with quick feet behind the dish, Simone will also see

time in the outfi eld and will bat at the top of the order as

he runs well and is a good gap hitter.

Junior Paul DelGiacco (Levittown, N.Y.) continues

to progress from his arm surgery, and while providing

depth in the bullpen and leadership in the dugout, he

has a solid swing and could be an off ensive spark off the

bench.

Freshman Derek Novotny (Wantagh, N.Y.) is a

utility player with good versatility and a positive attitude,

and will provide a reliable option at catcher as well as in

both in the infi eld and outfi eld.

At fi rst base, two fresh-

men will look for starting time

as Jennings, when not on the

mound, will fi nd a way into

the lineup based on his good

power potential in the middle

of the order. Phil LoPrete

(Bellerose, N.Y.) is a very ag-

gressive hitter who is making

the adjustment to fi rst base

after playing third in high

school.

Senior Dan Mende

(Monroe, N.Y.) had a good

fall, and will provide good

stability at fi rst base, while

Corona is always an option

at fi rst when not behind the

plate.

Sophomore Casey McK-

ay (North Massapequa, N.Y.)

returns to second base after

a solid freshman season and

will look to continue to play

solid defense. He is an on-

base hitter in the lineup with a

compact line-drive swing, and

in addition to his on the fi eld play, he will take on more

of a leaedership role this season.

Steve Mare (Whitestone, N.Y.) returns for his

second season in green and gold, and the hard-working

team-fi rst player is a good defensive option at second

as well as a contact hitter at the plate who will push for

time this season.

At shortstop, the Pioneers will look to two fresh-

men to replace graduated four-year starter Bryan Bonin

as Tom Tolan (Malverne, N.Y.) and Rich Maccarone

k

(Glen Cove, N.Y.) will battle it out for the starting stop.

Tolan reads the ball well off the bat, and is a strong and

athletic player. Maccarone has good arm strength and

is adjusting to balls batted off wood bats. Both players

swing the bat aggressively and run well.

At the hot corner, Chenicek will resume his starting

role when not on the mound. Returning this year with

improved defensive confi dence, he will look to improve

his off ensive production and elevate his power numbers

while maintaining his solid defense. Junior Nick Com-

pito (Syosset, N.Y.) will play third when Chenicek is on

the mound, and will be the primary DH, taking advan-

tage of his solid swing and good power potential.

Graduate Joe Mare (Whitestone, N.Y.) is a wild

card in the infi eld, as he makes his return to the fi eld

this year following a three-year rehabilitation from a car

accident suff ered in 2008. Mare was an honorable men-

tion All-American in 2007, and will continue to work

back into baseball shape while providing leadership to

the young infi eld.

Freshmen Connor Coman (Bay Shore, N.Y.) and

Chris Brudie (Fresh Meadows, N.Y.) will provide depth

in the infi eld during their rookie seasons.

Outfi eld

Junior transfer Steve Smith (West Islip, N.Y.) will

play center fi eld, as the lefty runs well and tracks the ball

off the bat well. A contact hitter, he will look to get on

base and take advantage of his speed on the basepaths.

Simone, when not catching, can play any of the

three outfi eld positions, and his hitting will keep him in

the lineup.

Sophomore David Saldana (Deer Park, N.Y.) is one

of the fastest players on the team, and will be utilized

as a defensive replacement or a pinch runner while he

continues to push for starting time with his solid swing.

Another sophomore, Dan Burnett (Farmingdale, N.Y.)

will provide depth and push for time with an aggressive

approach at the plate.

Jennings is also an option in right fi eld, joined by

fellow freshman Ryan Sloane (Westbury, N.Y.) who has

good tools and will get a shot for starting time in one of

the corner outfi eld slots. Freshman Anthony Imparato

(Bethpage, N.Y.) will provide depth in the outfi eld.

C.W. Post has arguably one of the toughest early-

season shedules in the region, as they take on Franklin

Pierce and Southern Connecticut (pre-season ranked

fi rst and second in the East region) four times apeice.

A challenging schedule at the Palm Beach Challenge

is also in place, as Timmes hopes that rigorous early

season games will prepare his young team for East Coast

Conference play, where the Pioneer open with Dowling

College for the fi rst fi ve-game series that they will play

against every ECC team. Th e Pioneers personnel has

changed, but the goals remain the same: challenging for

the ECC title, and a return trip to the NCAA tourna-

ment.

Paul H. Forestell, a professor of psychology and an internationally renowned marine mammal

scientist, was appointed provost of the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University in July 2008.

A seasoned administrator, Dr. Forestell served as vice president of the Pacifi c Whale Foundation

in Hawaii, as dean of undergraduate programs at Southampton College of Long Island Univer-

sity, and as associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at C.W. Post.

As provost, Dr. Forestell leads one of the New York metropolitan area’s most respected private

university campuses, with an enrollment of nearly 5,700 undergraduate, 3,100 graduates and

2,300 continuing education students. He is responsible for campus operations, program devel-

opment, admissions and recruitment, retention, fi nancial aid, athletics, student aff airs, public

safety, and buildings and grounds.

His collaborative leadership style has contributed greatly to enhancing the student-centered mission of the University. In

2008, Dr. Forestell established the Division of Student Retention & Academic Support Services at C.W. Post to assist students in

achieving academic and career success. A champion of experiential learning, he coordinates study abroad and fi eld research op-

portunities for students, and teaches classes in whale and dolphin behavior.

Dr. Forestell graduated from the University of New Brunswick in Canada with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and philos-

ophy in 1972 and a master’s degree in experimental psychology in 1976. He earned a Ph.D. in comparative psychology from the

University of Hawaii in 1988. He is the author of several peer-reviewed science articles and four books, including “Humpbacks of

Hawai’i: Th e Long Journey Back.”

PAUL H. FORESTELL - Provost, C.W. Post

Dr. David J. Steinberg, the ninth president of Long Island University, has served the institution

since 1985. Th e son of the late Rabbi Milton Steinberg of Manhattan’s Park Avenue Synagogue, he

was born in New York City and was educated at Phillips Academy at Andover, Malvern College in

England and Harvard College, from which he graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa.

After a Fulbright year at the University of the Philippines and a year at Columbia University on

a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, he returned to Harvard, where he earned an M.A. in East Asian

studies in 1963, and a Ph.D. in history in 1964. Dr. Steinberg also has received several honorary

degrees.

He began his teaching career in the Department of History at the University of Michigan,

where he rose to the rank of full professor. In 1973, he joined the administration of Brandeis Uni-

versity as executive assistant to the president, becoming vice president and university secretary in

1977.

Th e author of numerous books and articles on Southeast Asia and, in particular, Philippine history, Dr. Steinberg has taught,

lectured and written about this important area of the world for a third of a century. His fi rst book, “Philippine Collaboration in

World War II,” won the University Press Award in 1969. “Th e Philippines: A Singular and a Plural Place,” now in its third edi-

tion, was described by U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Nicholas Platt as “the best single-volume guide to understanding the

Philippines, past and present.” He also edited and co-authored both editions of “In Search of Southeast Asia,” one of the major

textbooks on the area. Dr. Steinberg recently collaborated with top scholars from around the world to co-author “Th e Emergence

of Modern Southeast Asia,” a new and multifaceted history of this complex region. In addition, he is a co-author of “Religion and

Religiosity in the Philippines and Indonesia: Essays on State, Society and Public Creeds,” which was published in 2005.

Dr. Steinberg was a member of the international observer team that monitored the Philippine presidential elections when

Corazon Aquino defeated Ferdinand Marcos. He has written numerous op-ed pieces and has been a consultant to UN agencies,

the United States government, the Ford Foundation and others.

He and his wife, Joan, a chanteuse and real estate executive, reside in McGrath House on the C.W. Post Campus. Th e couple

has two Cavalier King Charles spaniels, whom they sometimes bring to football games on campus. His greatest personal accom-

plishment: raising his two superb sons, Noah and Jonah. His greatest pleasure: watching his grandchildren grow.

A former student-athlete at St. John’s University, Collins played linebacker on the Red Storm’s football team and was the recipient of the Dr. Peter Vitulli Award, given to the St. John’s student-athlete who demonstrated the most courage, persever-ance, dedication and spirit of self-sacrifi ce in seeking to attain the highest ideals of sportsmanship. Collins received his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in 1987.
