MIDDLE
STATES SUCCESS! By David Strack

Months and months of
preparation, sweat and blood of the faculty and student body has all spilled
out for this one week, one of the most important weeks of this year. And of
course I’m mentioning the middle
states week. The week that makes or breaks the most celebrated intuitions east
of Elmhurst: Cathedral Preparatory Seminary. Established 1962 this facility’
halls have held holders of the miter, diocesan priest, deacons and successful
Christian gentlemen. As we all were informed the next morning on the Friday
that will go down in Cathedral history as Good
Friday.
Father Marano was
joyful in the annunciation of the reaccreditation process. The evaluation team
has evaluated and there results were excellent. Thankfully the school has
passed its final . The goals submitted by the committee
were golden and the protocol wasn’t called into question. The week the day
started off with an encounter of daily life in the chapel, the heart of
Cathedral Prep Seminary. Many meetings were held between the administration
league and teachers with the evaluation team. The students on the Middle States
committee were then held for integration. Kieran McGuire made the following
statement on the response of the questing. “The teachers on the committee
prepared us well for the trials and tribulations that were bound to oppose us
upon their arrival.
The odds were against us but
we managed to pull through.” The next day the random passes were issued after
mass. I was lucky enough to receive a slip. I’m more of the yellow slip guy but
any slip to get me out of class was fine for me. I admit that my nerves were
electrified upon entering the SLR that cold Thursday morning. The first
question was asked and the entire room held their breath the questions came and
came one after another. Although do I believe the students in attendance
answered all well. I was surprised on how prepare we actually were. We have
been hearing about this middle states for months not but we didn’t see how
serious and Important it was. Thankfully Cathedral was reaccredited by the Middle
States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Special thanks to all the
faculty and students and special thanks to Fr. Cush the
internal coordinator of the entire process.


November is finally here, after the much tiresome month of October. So, much underwent with the Accreditation from the Middle States Association – that the faculty deserves a round of applause. Clap! Clap! Clap! But, seriously from the Main Office staff to the third floor staff; everyone students and faculty helped out. And it shows how much our school is loved, we worked together and together we conquered. With recent news, everyone I have spoken to has told me of the fun and success the Card Party was.
It was all due to the wonderful Parent’s Club decorating, students selling raffles and Mr. Card Party himself: Mr. D’Amico. Clearly, the beginning of this school year everyone has had their school on their mind. Preparing for Thanksgiving, Mr. De Nardo has begun the Annual Food Drive; please remember to had in at least two canned goods and your donation for the purchase of a turkey. There is a great feeling, knowing you are helping others who are less fortunate. A change we have made this year to the newspaper is it will be online in the school website. This was an idea Mr. O’Keefe and myself came up with to increase environmental awareness and contribute to the green movement. Another good event to look forward to is the Fall Ping Pong Classic. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

Bishop Murphy’s Visit to the Prep -Michael F. Falce
On Tuesday October 27th,
Bishop William Murphy of the Diocese of Rockville Centre came for his first
Pastoral Visit to Cathedral Preparatory Seminary. He was accompanied by his
secretary, Msgr. Robert Morrissey and the Rockville Centre Vocation Director,
Fr. Brian Barr. During his visit, he celebrated Mass at which a statue of Pope
Saint Pius X was blessed. This statue came from the no longer existent, St.
Pius X Preparatory Seminary located in Uniondale. St. Pius X was the High
School Seminary for the Diocese of Rockville Centre but, in 1984 it was closed.
Since their diocese no longer has a minor seminary, young men who are
interested in the priesthood now come to our seminary we currently have four
students from the Rockville Centre Diocese. They are Senior Kieran McGuire,
Junior William Cassese, Sophomore Daniel Valbrun and
Freshman Karl Bastien. The Bishop had a chance to
meet and speak with the men of his diocese and let them know how glad he was to
be here. From the schools perspective, the highlight of the day was when Bishop
Murphy, out of his generosity, granted us a day off. We cannot thank him
enough! Overall, it was truly a memorable day.

A School of
“Brothers” and Brothers
Cathedral Prep
Seminary is quite special and is obviously different from many other high
schools. Since Cathedral Prep Seminary is a small high school, all the young
men become sort of “Brothers”. They are all “Brothers” in a sense that they are
very close friends and would do anything for each other. This “Brotherhood” is
seen in many other schools though, but what is special about Cathedral Prep
Seminary is the actual brotherhood of it. By this brotherhood, I mean the fact
that many students that currently attend Cathedral Prep Seminary have brothers
that attended the school and some even have younger brothers that now attend
the school. This clearly shows that Cathedral Prep Seminary is doing something
right if it can get families to invest their time and money into the school.
This is clearly seen in the Senior Class of 2010. Many young men in the senior
class have bothers that attended Cathedral Prep Seminary and some even have
brothers that currently attend the school. Chris Liander
has a brother named Mike Liander (great basketball
player) that was apart of the Class of 2005. Daniel Fox has a brother named
Mike Fox that was apart of the Class of 2007. Joe Santoro has a brother named
Pat Santoro that was also apart of the Class of 2007. There is also Kevin Valez who has a brother named Jack Valez
(who just got married, what’s up with that) that was also apart of the Class of
2005. Don’t forget about Kevin Borres who has a
brother named Mark Borres who was apart of the Class
of 2006. Mark Yepez even has a brother named Franklin
Yepez who went to Cathedral Prep Seminary with Mr. DeNardo and Fr. Abels (wow) in
the Class of 1994. David Sakic also has a brother
named Mike Sakic who was apart of the Class of 2006.
Brian Facchin has a brother named Mark Facchin who was apart of the Class of 2008. Junior, Orin
Kumar (who is in practically every senior class) also has a brother named
Terrence Kumar who was apart of the Class of 2005. Tim Bannen
even has a cousin named Pat Mills who attended Cathedral Prep Seminary and was
apart of the Class of 2006.There are also some seniors who have brothers who
attend Cathedral Prep Seminary, Peter Sammarco has a
brother named Anthony Sammarco and Tim Harfmann has a brother named Brendon Harfmann.
Both brothers are sophomores right now in the Class of 2012. Senior Michael Falce also has a brother named Matthew who attended the
summer program. Seniors even have family members that attended Cathedral Prep
Seminary. Peter Sammarco’s father named Colonel Sammarco also attended Cathedral Prep Seminary. Tim Bannen and Andrew Knee both have an uncle named Fr. Peter
Gillen who also attended Cathedral Prep Seminary. Tim Harfmann
also has an uncle named Fr. John Harfmann who was a
part of the Class of 1953. This was way back in the Brooklyn Cathedral. As you
can see, the family members of all of these students show this is truly a
school of Brotherhood and “Brotherhood”.
Formality
with a capital F. by Louis A. & D.Strack First thing is first, the
formation of formal dress is all over the forums today. The forgetful freshman
felt the fierceness of the formal dress code. Friday, October 10th,
was the final frontier of seasonal dress. Quote from Daniel Fred Fox was “Ahh, it’s good”. Our fellow students can express their feel
for fresh ties. Finally the
flamboyant arrival of the evaluation team felt the formality of Cathedral.
First impressions always last in the fresh minds of Middle-States. Hopefully we
finish with a good mark on our final evaluation for validating the vision. Moving forward, there are many sticklers of
the school that will flip your informal dress code into a detention. So look
sharp and keep it fresh! How many F’s can you find? First
to finish gets fantastic fat free French fries from France-- Contact

Studio, O Studio by Rafal
I , as a senior, spend a great deal of my time in the
studio. This giant room, right next to the cafeteria, is one of the most modern
chambers in all of Cathedral Prep Seminary. It has a history as old as
Cathedral itself. It is currently home
to Senior Film Appreciation and Theology classes. From time to time, it is
called upon for X Box 360 fests during class nights. On special occasions such
as Big Brother Days and Junior Ring Days, one may expect to watch a leisurely
motion picture such as The Ringer .This magical chamber has had many uses over
the past decades. When Cathedral first opened, members of this institution's
body played instruments and participated in musical education and performances.
A Cathedral alumnus that goes by the name John Moran has placed a vital role in
the refurbishment of this magical room.
In the heavy metal 80s, he witnessed the poor condition that this
ancient room was in. In response, he kindly funded the fixing of it, placing
soundproof walls while adding state of the art audio and video equipment to it.
As we all know time does its dues, and 20 years later Mr. Moran yet again
charitably aided in modernization of the studio during the summer of 2008. I clearly remember
working for one week in the Father Troike Program ,
going upstate for vacation , and coming back 2 weeks later to see every seat in
the studio being shattered apart with an ax
because someone apparently had donated money to re-do this room . And
what this beloved place became in my opinion is a cozy little mini-movie
theater; a "Cinema Paradiso" of sorts.
Prayer, Perseverance and Dodge ball! By

The Annual Senior
Retreat
The annual senior retreat to the college seminary took
place this October. Our senior class left on the 6th to Huntington.
We would spend the next 4 days getting closer to God and each other. It was an
intense experience. There was always something to do there. Basketball,
exercising, eating, and praying were just a few things we could do. It really
got us to see what it’s like to live at the college seminary. It was a time to
bring us closer to God and be closer as a class. We also had a lot of time to
ourselves to reflect or rest. Overall,
the food was pretty good. Huntington had a whole kitchen staff and plenty of
food, with dessert. They also had a dispenser with juices and milk so there was
plenty of drinks as well. My favorite thing was the salad bar. We could go up
and make your own salad with olives, cheese, vegetables and dressing. They
tasted good every time because you were making them. Fellow student Daniel Fox
had this to say about the food. “Ahh, it was good,
better than last year.” In most of the class’s opinion this year’s retreat was
better than last years. Everyone had a lot more fun but there was one
controversy. This year we weren’t allowed in the bar room past 8. This
conflicted with our pool playing and TV. Watching.
Some of us were really annoyed, but we had one solution. DODGEBALL.
Every night on retreat we would hold an intense matchup between us seniors.
Balls would fly, heads would roll, and Joey would hide. We held a best out of 5
that ended in 7 games for some reason. We would wake up with sore arms and ball
marks on our faces, but we had fun this
years seniors retreat was a success, and it would be the last time we would get
together, just us seniors and homeroom teachers. We came in boys but left men. Manly men.
Ping Pong Classic-Tim Hoffman
With formal dress, the coldness of the non-heated classrooms, and basketball season beginning, that could only mean one thing - the start of the Cathedral Prep Fall Ping-Pong Classic has arrived! This year, the sophomores have the most entrees in the classic, followed by the seniors, freshmen, and juniors. Last year, the Cathedral Prep community was surprised by the ping-pong skills of certain underclassmen. However, the question is who will be this year’s champion? On October 15th, the Ping-Pong Classic kicked off at the lunch periods. The players were eager to start their games and see who would play who in the next round. In the early rounds of the tournament, some of last year’s all-star ping-pong players continued on, while others were knocked out. After making it to the Final Four last year, sophomore Daniel Valburn continued to show off his skills. He defeated, George Irizarry, Anthony Sammarco, Timothy Harfmann, and Shawn Rivera. All he has to do is beat one more sophomore and he’s in the final game. After defeating Hubert Bonhomme, Eugene Reynolds will take on Mikhail Rodriquez in the Elite Eight. If he beats Mikhail, then this underdog will take on Valburn in the Final Four.
It’s no surprise that senior Steven Trudden made it to the Sweet Sixteen. Some people had Steve as the favorite to win it all this year, until he played sophomore Chris West. The Sweet Sixteen was the first round where games were best of three. Steve lost both games 21-19. Maybe that’s a sign that some people should stick to varsity baseball. Even though he was worried about playing Brendon Harfmann, who made it to the Elite Eight of last year’s Fall Classic, Andrew Knee pulled off the win, in a game that some people would say was an upset. With the score being point – 17, in Drew’s favor, the spike was completely missed by Brendon and Drew won the match, advancing him to the third round of the Classic. In the Sweet Sixteen, Drew Knee then played Joe “Do you have an extra tie?” Barna. Joe beat Drew in the first two games and now finds himself playing John Vollmerhausen, for a chance to play in the Final Four round. After the Sweet Sixteen round, only one senior remains in the tournament. The quiet, yet very skillful Peter Sammarco continues to use his cat-like reflexes against his opponents. Juan Marten and Conrad Nytko failed to beat the crowd favorite senior. Many people expected to see a Sammarco vs. Trudden Match in the Final Four round, but after the Sweet Sixteen, they were mistaken. Personally, I believe we will see Peter Sammarco and Daniel Valbrun in the final game. Valburn will have a tough time beating peter, as the entire senior class will be cheering their classmate on. Therefore, I say that Peter will win it all this year.
As the Final Four, Elite Eight, and Sweet Sixteen games get played, the field of competitors gets smaller and smaller. On Wednesday, November 25th, Cathedral Prep will witness the 12th Ping-Pong Champion hold the trophy proudly in his hands. Thank you to all of the students who participated in this year’s tournament. Students, who are willing to put their skills to the test, enjoy playing in the Classic. For those who may not be as skillful as others, the annual tournament is still something great to watch. The annual Cathedral Prep Fall Ping-Pong Classic, which was started back in 1997, is always enjoyed by everyone. A special thank you goes out to Fr.Marano, who started the Cathedral Prep Fall Ping-Pong Classic back when he was a teacher and the assistant spiritual director of Cathedral Prep.
Despite popular belief, that room on the way to the locker room from the cafeteria, is not a swamp full of horrible stenches, odors, and small flying insects. It’s our bathroom. Time and time again students are reminded to flush the urinals and toilets in the bathroom to prevent another infestation of cockroaches or flies. While waiting for homeroom to begin, I’m pretty sure the last thing a seminarian wants to smell is another man’s urine in the morning. Just because you may like the smell of your own waste doesn’t mean everyone else does. Fellow student, Kieran McGuire says “Every time I walk into that room, I feel disheartened to see the yellow stains covering the décor of the bathroom.” To add to the problem, the cold faucet doesn’t work at the sing. To quote another student, Chris Liander, he says “ It really grinds my gears that I can’t use the cold water, every time I burn my hands, I am forced to walk all the way upstairs for water.”
It personally saddens me when I walk downstairs and smell the foul odors all the way from the stairs. Sometimes I might even tear a little and die inside when I remember that specific smell. Once again I ask everyone to please be courteous in flushing your human excrement next time you feel the need to relief yourself of some stool. Not only will you be helping your fellow members of the school, but you make the world a less stinky place. The administration is looking into getting automatic Atomic flushers. The school will then be a safe place again.
The Senior Retreat at the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception in Huntington NY was a memorable experience that we will never forget. We gathered together Tuesday afternoon in the gym to begin our journey. When we arrived at the Seminary we were assigned our rooms and we were given some time to rest. Resting was a very big part of our retreat because, as Fr. Marano said, we are breaking our usual fast paced routine and this often makes us tired. We prayed evening prayer, ate dinner later on and had some time for recreation together. We ended the night early because we all needed to be well rested for the first full day of the retreat in the morning. On Wednesday Fr. Cush celebrated mass for us in the Bishops Chapel for us. The main talk of the Day was by Scott Salvato who is the Campus Minister at Molloy College. His talk focused on how to be a moral catholic man during our college years. He spoke from personal experience and included some fun activities to take part in. This was all useful information that we will take with us into the next four years. Since it was the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, we concluded the night by praying the rosary together. On Thursday, Fr. Brian Barr the Vocation Director for the Diocese of Rockville Centre spoke to us about the different types of love. This is not only useful to us in our college years but in the rest of our lives. In the afternoon, we had mass in the main chapel with the Seminarians celebrated by Bishop Walsh who is the Auxiliary Bishop for the Diocese of Rockville Centre. At night, we had a Holy Hour in which Fr. Douglas Archolio, a priest of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, preached about how we walk with God every moment of our lives. This concluded our last night together on the retreat. On Friday, Fr. Marano celebrated mass for us in the bishop’s chapel and we answered some self reflection questions about ourselves. All in All, we had a great time. One part of the retreat that most of us enjoyed was the free time that we had during the afternoon. Many of us went for walks down to the dock and some played football or basketball. A few of us really enjoyed ourselves as we went to the Library and looked at all of the books and periodicals.
The Perfect Healthcare System -By Rafal Borynski
It is never nice to be sick, but it
is always good to know that in case you do have a boo-boo, you have health
insurance to protect you. It is assuring to know that when you require a half
million dollar kidney transplant, you have something to cover the cost for you.
Some people have complimentary healthcare
provided by their professions, others have to pay for healthcare, and some just
don’t think that healthcare is worth the trouble that it usually causes. A small fraction of Americans who are either
too destitute and /or considered part of the elderly gets some form of
healthcare provided through Medicare and Medicaid.
Most western nations, such as
England, Canada, and Sweden, have a universal healthcare policy. Continued…What this means is that all of
the citizens and most residents of these countries have necessary healthcare
provided to them. Common sense would
tell us that this healthcare is not free. It isn’t. The governments of these nations are able to
acquire the funds necessary for such a perfect system by charging their
citizens much higher income tax rates. These nations sometimes charge taxes
that are around 50% of the income of these people, yet in return everybody not
only receives free healthcare, but shorter work weeks and an almost costless
college education.
The problem with private
healthcare is that many times, private companies such as Humana have been
accused of looking for loopholes in contracts with their clients in order to
excuse themselves from having to pay for expensive medical procedures. These private healthcare providers also
reject applicants who have complicated conditions such as diabetes. Let’s face it: the primary goal of these
companies is to garner a profit, not to do whatever possible to improve the
health of their patients.
Universal healthcare is
not a bad idea in theory. It can’t be worse than the disorganized healthcare
system that we have now. Maybe the idea
of all Americans looking out for one another when it comes to health could
become reality.

Differences by Chris Liander 
I’m not talking about the song by the great R&B
singer Ginuwine, but I’m talking about the differences
between the two sports I have joined, basketball and cross country. Both very competitive, but very contrasting. Both are challenging and good work outs for
the body and the mind. This is my first
year doing cross country since 8th grade so I have had some
experience but not as much as other tack members, like Timothy Harfman. I was excited to join this year because a few of
my fellow senior buddies joined this year too. Among them are fellow
journalists David Strack and Louis Abreu As well Jordan Nieves and Conrad Nytko.
All of us however, were not ready for what would be in store for this year in
track. I know everyone say that track isn’t a sport and it’s just running but
it is a lot easier said than Compared
to basketball, cross country in a whole different type of running. Cross
country involves pacing and breathing and isn’t as focused on speed. Basketball
is about quickness and getting to the basket before your man does. You make one
misstep and you could get burned in some matchups. You do a lot of sprinting
and short running in basketball unlike cross country which is a two and a half
mile run. Both are rigorous exercises
but very different at the same time. Both teams could use more members though.
If you are interested in joining cross country it is never too late to join.
Basketball starts in November so don’t be shy and come down to tryouts,
freshman and sophomores for J.V. and juniors and seniors for varsity. Don’t be
afraid to show that school spirit!
