DEMARCOS HONOUREDWindsor�s Italian community toasted a few of their own at the Canadian ItalianBusiness and Professional Association�s (CIBPA) awards. Among the honoureeswas Dr. Frank DeMarco, Sr., �38, one of the city�s most beloved physicians and apillar of the local Italian community. Back In 1961 DeMarco became outraged bythe discrimination against Italians in Windsor and decided to do something aboutit. He organized a group of influential Italians to form the original Windsor ItalianBusiness and Professional Association, which acted as a watchdog against dis-crimination. “Frank was definitely a pioneer in the community,” said John Bonato,CIBPA director. “He is certainly deserving of this award.” It was a double-wham-my for the DeMarcos - his son, Justice Guy DeMarco, �65, also received anaward of excellence.

“It is indeed an honour,” Justice DeMarco said. A surprise was in store for FrankDeMarco at the gala, held at the Caboto Club. An old neighbour and family friend,Prime Minister Paul Martin, recorded a video greeting to Frank.

Transport Minister Tony Valeri also attended the banquet as the keynote speaker.The honourees were picked from 60 candidates to receive this year�s award ofexcellence, Bonato said. About 600 people attended the banquet.

A search for a deeper understanding ofhis Catholic faith has led a Windsorlawyer to the priesthood. Rev. BrianJane, an Assumption graduate, a for-mer real estate, land development andcorporate lawyer, was ordained inLondon, Saturday, May 1, 2004. The49-year-old celebrated his first massMay 2 at St. Gregory the Great Church,Windsor, where he interned two yearsago. He is now associate pastor atMost Precious Blood Church inWindsor. Jane�s quest started 10 years

ago with studies at the Sacred HeartSeminary In Detroit. He would take oneor two courses in theology and event-ually earned a Masters Degree in2000. “During the time, while I was tak-ing courses, I was also discerningwhether or not God was calling me tothe priesthood,” said Jane he did a lotof praying at the rosary chapel atAssumption Church and, by the timehe graduated from the Sacred HeartSeminary he concluded God was call-ing. It took him a year to wrap up hislegal practice and he was then allowedto begin at St. Peter�s in year three of afour-year program. He spent 2002 asan Intern at St. Gregory the GreatChurch, Windsor, and went back to St.Peter�s for a deaconal year. Jane says,as surprised as his clients were, hisparents and three brothers and two sis-ters weren�t. “They�re overjoyed.” hesays it�s not unusual for lawyers tobecome priests, even after 20 years.“When I was taking courses at SacredHeart Seminary there were a numberof former lawyers in training to becomea priest. There was a heart specialistwho retired from his practice and hewas still a relatively young man, in hisearly 40s. I think it�s becoming morecommon.” And he says he always triedto practise law with the upmost integri-

ty, all the time doing charitable work. “Idecided to treat that as a vocation.That�s the way I practised law,” saidJane. “I really did enjoy it.” Fr. BrianHarold Jane said. “I was born inWindsor, the third of six children; Iheard my call to the priesthood throughthe encouragement of friends andthrough much prayer, especially beforethe Blessed Sacrament. Prior to enter-ing St. Peter�s Seminary in the fall of2001, I practiced law and I studied the-ology earning a graduate degree fromSacred Heart Seminary in Detroit.(Diocese of London Newsletter.) Hegraduated from Assumption High in1972. In school, Brian and his brother,Allan, �71, were busy with the concert,jazz and pep bands. Brian played clar-inet and saxophone, Allan, the trumpet.They loved Fr. Dillon�s pep band play-ing at the games.

He practiced law prior to entering theseminary. His hobbies are golf and ten-nis. In 1978 he obtained an LLB fromthe University of Windsor, and in 2000his MA from Sacred Heart Seminary.His pastoral year was served at St.Gregory the Great in Tecumseh, wherehe was ordained to the deaconate onJanuary 24, 2004. He celebrated hisfirst Mass of Thanksgiving at St.Gregory the Great on May 2, 2004.

Other hi-lites of the yearincluded a special day to commem-orate the 60th anniversary of FatherArmstrong�s ordination. Mayor MichaelHurst, in a letter to the Assumptioncommunity, wrote: “Celebration” is amost appropriate term for honouring aman such as Father Armstrong. Hisremarkable record of achievements asa member of the clergy, an educator, acoach of many sports, mentor, guide,and friend to so many people, old andyoung, is in no real danger of beingsurpassed anywhere. How many peo-ple are the better for having been influ-enced in some way by this man whohas been part of Assumption for 70years? How many young people whomight have not done so, chose the rightpath in life because there was a FatherCharles Armstrong there to help themknow the way?

Assumption is not simply lucky to havethe man everyone affectionately calls“Army” on its side. It is blessed to haveFather Armstrong, and so are all therest of us in Windsor. I know I speakfor all members of our City Council andall our citizens when I say“Congratulations, Father, for everythingyou�ve achieved and for always beingthere when we needed you.” TheSuperior General of the BasilianFathers, Father Bob Barringer C.S.B.,added his expressions of congratula-tions as well. Others will speak or willhave spoken already of the impact ofyour ministry at Assumption CollegeSchool and in the Windsor area andbeyond. I and your Basilian brothers onthe General Council wish to pay tribute

more particularly the witness of faithful-ness that you have shown every day ofyour life - 60 years as a priest and more- 63 years as a Basilian. To serve Godand students whom God has sent intoyou life with devotion and cheerfulnesswith singleness of heart is a sourcestrength, encouragement and joy to allthe rest of us in the community. At thealumni reunion in November, 500members returned to celebrate with“Armie”. On the final day of classes inDecember, Bishop Sherlock, along with25 Diocesan and Basilian priests con-celebrated Mass for the Assumptioncommunity in his honour, and this wasfollowed by a reception.

From: Ron Binks [[email protected]] I received my latestNewsletter yesterday and was very saddened to hear of thepassing of Sr. Leona, she is very special to me. When Igraduated grade eight, my fellow classmates from publicschool went on to Forster High School, or William Handshigh school; I was lucky to be accepted at AssumptionCollege High School. As a result of the above I knew onlyone person (and he was in grade ten at Assumption; luckilymy very first home room was French in room 204 and Sr.Leona was the first teacher at A.C.S. that welcomed me.She was so inviting and encouraging. She helped me to getover many of my freshman worries; she was always soenthusiastic (especially when I was not).

I was so lucky to meet many special people at A.C.H.S,teachers, classmates, and classmates� parents. One wasTommy Bannon. l would like to express my sympathies to hisfamily. I volunteered at many Fathers Club and Mothers Clubevents, and Tommy (not Mr. Bannon) was always present atthese events, as well as reunions, golf tourneys, get- togeth-ers. He always had time to say hi to me and wish me well.

I would also like to say hi to, and thank you, to Glen Holland.Like Tommy, Glen was, and is an Assumption treasure. Glengives of his time to Assumption, that is exemplary. LikeTommy, Glen always has kind words when we meet andtreated me well during my days at school. To present daystudents, I would like to say appreciate how lucky you are tobe a Raider. Assumption is blessed with so many tremen-dous people. Get to know your fellow Raiders, past Raiders,and future Raiders.

Dear Fr. Cullen

I enjoyed the latest newsletter very much. I recently fin-ished reading a wonderful book written by a �51 classmate,George McMahon, Sr. It is titled “Pure Zeal - A History ofAssumption College, 1870 - 1946” (ISBN -9689996-3-8) andpublished by FoxMar Press in Toronto. Coming from an erawhen the college and high school were on the same cam-pus, it brought back many memories. Some of the Basiliansmentioned were ones I knew. Others I had heard about frommy father who was at Assumption in 1917. The book broughtto light many decisions that were beginning to unfold whileI was here from 1947 to 1951. At that time I was focusedmostly on the success of our various teams, getting homefor a weekend once a month, and possibly on studies. I wasoblivious to the challenges faced by the administration untilreading George�s account on the period.

For anyone interested in Assumption and the leadership pro-vided by many dedicated Basilians, I highly recommend thisbook, available from the University of Windsor Bookstore. Itwould also make a good gift to many of our alumni. Lastsummer, I had a chance to talk briefly with Hank Smoke �51.He had come up from North Carolina for the funeral of hissister-in-law. In November, on a plane from Las Vegas, I metBill Chambers from Mackinac Island who was a boarder withus in grades 10 and 11.

Enclosed is a check to continue the work of the AlumniAssociation.

Sincerely,Jim Broughton �51

Hey there folks,

I was just going over some old papers and I came across theAssumption Newsletter. I�ve really enjoyed getting it all theseyears and trying to keep an eye on what�s going on there inWindsor. I thought that it was high time that I got in touch andlet you know what�s going on with me. Perhaps it�ll make aline in your With Our Thespians section.

Since I don�t think I�ve been in touch in the last decade or so,I�ll work backwards and you can use what you want. I live inWashington, DC and am a member of the Capitol Steps, anationally known political satire group. We travel extensivelyin the US and perform on National Public Radio severaltimes a year. We did an off Broadway run last summer. I�malso on the faculty of The Round House Theatre School, andhave been for about ten years. I took some time out from mylife as a performer from 1993 to 2000 to teach high schooltheater at St. Andrew�s Episcopal School. Other than thatI�ve been on stage in a number of cities in my fair country, atsome of its finest regional theaters - the Guthrie inMinneapolis, Oregon Shakespeare Festival at Ashland, theArena Stage in DC, to name a few - since I got my BFA fromHoward University in 1984, Before that, of course, I was aboarder there at Assumption! Thanks for keeping me intouch with the Assumption community and I hope this info isuseful to you.

Yours,Morgan Duncan, Class of 1980

Dear Father Cullen et al,

Having just received the Assumption Newsletter remindedme that it is about time to make another contribution to helpensure that they continue to be sent in the future. I enjoyreading them from cover to cover to find out what is newWith old acquaintances. We really enjoyed our 50th classreunion of a couple of years ago. I did not realize that I wentto school with so many old people. I have been retired for 16years now, enjoy golf, hunting, fishing and travelling as wellas quality time with our six children, 14 grandchildren andtwo great grandchildren .

Best regards, Richard (Dick) Kabel,Class o f �51

Dear Editor:

Theresa and I enjoy reading the Assumption Newsletter andare enclosing a cheque to cover the postage costs. Also andto advise you of our new address. We moved to London inMay/03. Condominium living is great, particularly with win-ter approaching and the threat of deep snow. As parents ofSuzanne, Barbara, Kathleen, Jack and Jamie, all graduatesof Assumption, we are very proud of their high school andnumerous memories we have of their activities while oncampus.

Yours truly,Jerome Haggarty

Dear Fr. Cullen:

I hope this letter finds you well. I am still out in La-La Landpursuing the acting game. I did the pilot for a new ABCshow called the D.A. - starts airing March 19, so I�m sayingsome prayers it gets picked up since I have a recurring parton the show. I still stay in contact with Eddie Mio, John Yatesand the boys, but if any of our 70�s gang gets out to sunnyCalifornia I would love to hear from them! I wish you and allthe aluminata (alumni) the very best and I hope to see yousometime soon. God bless and always - thank you so much.

Dear Alumni

EASTER GREETINGS from HAITI - (Fr. Rene Giroux)

Thank you for your past spiritual and monetary support of myministry in Haiti.

We are into our 4th week since the forced exile of the formerPresident Jean Bertrand Aristide. He is an enigma loved byso many yet hated by so many others. Why the answer maynever be clear though being a voice of the poor as a priest,prophet on the one hand and President of a nation 90 per-cent of its population living in poverty on the other may pro-vide part of the answer. He was holding a tiger by the tail. Inthe end he was blamed for every ill that afflicted the country.

Easter celebrates the victory of life over death, reaching thePromised Land after years of hardship. In the book ofJoshua that Land is one where the people eat the fruit oftheir own cultivation. No longer will they depend on mannathat falls from the skies. For the poor of Haiti that meansemployment to participate in the building of their communi-ties, to put food on their own tables, to provide a decent edu-cation for their offspring, to stand tall on their own. Their cryis to be treated as human persons in a consumer world thatdenies them that right. They appreciate our manna but theyseek more to grow their own garden. May this EASTERrestore that possibility .

Fr. Rene Giroux, �50

CAN YOU HELP?

Dear Father,

I am a graduate of Assumption in 1984. I am a wife and amother of four (three girls and a boy - 11, 10, 9 and 8). In myprofessional life I am a RPN of 16 years. I have worked atGrace hospital for 10 years, Hotel Dieu for 2 and now I amat Paramed Health Services, I volunteer at the school thatmy children are at, St. Francis School. I am the coordinatorof the Breakfast Program and the Milk Program and I am theChair of a non-profit Organization called Friends for AtkinsonPark and Pool. These days, the committee members arebusy getting an event organized for June 26th. It is a story ofa park and the area residents that have come together toclaim, improve and rejuvenate it for the enjoyment of all.Hope I made the deadline.

Sincerely,Eleanore Sedge (Franco)[email protected]

SAVE ATKINSON PARK

Formerly Shore A Cres, Atkinson Park is located betweenRiverside Drive, Unversity, Rankin and Bridge Avenues. Theswimming pool built by the Rotary Club replaced the ShoresAcre Hotel . The Park also included baseball diamonds anda skating rink.

Plans to replace the park with condominiums inspired asmall group of concerned citizens who formed “The Friendsof Atkinson Park”. a 1,000 signature petition doomed theplans and saved the park. They plan to improve the use ofthe swimming pool. A safe area for skateboarders,rollerbladers and MBMX riders is envisioned.

If you wish to help preserve this area for our youth contactMarilyn Woodisone at 254-8624 or Eleanore Sedge (Franco)at 258- 5631 or to the e-mail above.

Dear Fr. Cullen:

Let me update you on what�s up in Minnesota. First,enclosed find a check for a contribution to Assumption. Itcan�t pay the school back for all I learned in my time onHuron Church - it�s something. I am still going as the Directorof Media Relations for the St. Paul Saints of the independentNorthern Baseball League. This is the pro baseball teamwhere Darryl Strawberry went for his rehab in 1996. Wehave had 15 players come through here and eventuallymake it to the majors and another 60 or so into minor leaguesystems. Some of our better known alums include KevinMillar (now with the Red Sox) and J.D. Drew, with theBraves. The team has been a success off the field as well,trailing only Winnipeg in attendance in our league with a5,995 fan per game average last year. We became the firstteam in Northern League history to pass the three millionmark for all-timer attendance last year. In addition to base-ball, we are known for our wild and unusual promotions thatinclude having a pig bring balls to the umpire; a Roman

Catholic nun who runs a holistic massage place in St. Pauland gives neck massages at the park and haircuts in thestands. Our promotions range from the unusual (Giant PillowFight Night, Mime Night, Gnome Night) to such traditionalthings as Bat Day and Jersey Day. My boss is Mike Veeck,son of the Hall of Fame owner Bill Veeck. There is rarely adull moment here. I also got married in 1998 to a wonderfulwoman, Lynne Larkin, some of us are truly late bloomers.She is a St. Paul native who is a couple of years youngerthan me who had never been married before. We bought ahouse and I am learning all the things I didn�t know before -like cleaning pipes, getting snow off the roof, etc. This, too,makes for few dull moments.

You might be pleased to know that the tradition started whenI got the chance to do the public address at Windsor Arenafor Assumption games is still going strong. I just finished my32nd season as the p.a. voice for hockey for my alma mater,the University of St. Thomas. I have been doing high schoolgames for several years at a nearby arena. As you probablyknow, the high school tournament is a big deal in Minnesotawith statewide television and radio. For several years, I hadbeen doing the consolation round games for first roundlosers off the main site of the tournament.

However, after a retirement last year, I was tapped to do theClass A hockey tournament this year. I also took on the taskof basketball a few years back and now do the Class A andAA state high school basketball championship games aswell as the games of St. Thomas. It�s a great side job and stilla lot of fun to do. And, yes, it is true the first thousand gameswere the toughest. I find myself making references to andthinking about Assumption constantly. As part of my job withthe Saints, I am called upon to give speeches on behalf ofthe team. Just the other day, I related an Assumption storyto some high school kids who were startled to discover thatI still could remember what it was like to be in high school.Unfortunately, I missed Mike Eaves when he came to townwith Wisconsin this year. I was out of town when the Badgerscame to play the Gophers. You should be very proud of him.He has become a very good coach and will probably do ashe did as a player - get his talent to overachieve.

Thanks again for keeping this truant on the Newsletter list.With the baseball season starting soon, I will be tied up hereuntil after the season. But my wife and I hope to make a fallvisit to the Detroit area and would like to stop by to say helloto you at Assumption when we do. In the meantime, thanksagain, Father for all you have done for me and Assumption.The school will always have a special place in my heart. Itsounds like you are still in good health and doing well.Please give my regards to everyone there - especially RenoBertoia, who was very nice to me and (in addition to yourself)was one person who recommended that I come to schooland live in Minnesota. It is a decision I am very glad I made.

Regards, Dave Wright �71749 Cottage Ave. W.St Paul MN 55117

O’REILLY, EDWARD JOHN ’55

CANADA MOURNS BASKETBALL LEGEND

Died April 20, 2004 at Windsor RegionalHospital after a steadfast battle againstcancer, most of which was waged in thecomfort of his home thanks to the informedand compassionate care of his wife, Nancy(nee Backer), herself a hospice volunteer.He was 68 years old. Ed was born inToronto in 1935 and lived as a young boy inboth Toronto and St. Lambert, Quebec. Heworked and lived in both the City of

Windsor and Essex County. He battleddeath much the same way he lived life, in astubborn style that accommodated manymoments of the humour that was his trade-mark. Ed was passionate about sports, andalong the way to arenas, stadiums, and golfcourses throughout North America, he wel-comed friends from all walks of life. Ed�scareer was in teaching, but it was in hiswork as a coach that he likely took thegreatest pride. Well into his retirement hemaintained close ties with local athletes hehad coached on the rinks and gridirons ofEssex County. Despite a strong alliancewith “the Wings”, “the Tigers”, and “theWolverines”, Ed took equal joy in watchingyoungsters refining their hockey skills on aneighbourhood rink. Throughout his adultlife, Ed travelled to many parts of the world,but few trips were as cherished as a recentjourney to Ireland where he and his broth-ers played the golf courses that grace theisland of their ancestors. Ed was a garden-er. To any and all who dropped by hisRiverside Drive home, he provided a tour ofthe annuals and perennials. He collectedcoins, stamps, and stories. The last ofthese will be treasured, and frequentlyshared, by those who loved him.

He is survived by his mother. LeonaO�Reilly, of Windsor, and predeceased byhis father, Edward. He is also survived by

his three daughters, Mary, Susan, andPatricia, all of California, and his son,Edward, of Virginia. He was the grandfa-ther of Adeline, Katherine, Rachel, Tommyand David and the great grandfather ofMikaila.

Ed will be greatly missed by his brother,Wayne, �57, and Robert O�Reilly of Torontoand their wives, Gail and Virginia and by hissister Mary Lou O�Reilly, of Toronto andAnne Sprague, �76, and her husband Dougof Windsor. At Assumption Ed was a highscoring winger on the Windsor and WesternOntario champioship hockey team. Ed wasalso an excellent baseball player and golfer.
