January 2013 Dear Alumni, Parents, Grandparents and Friends of CBA, I’m sure that most people have heard, at one time or another, the biblical story found in St. Luke’s Gospel of the ten lepers who were cured by Jesus. The healing miracle that Jesus performed for these individuals lifted from them the social stigma that accompanied people who were afflicted with leprosy. Where did the nine cured lepers go? They probably went off to share their joy with family and friends; perhaps they went to show themselves to the chief priests as they were instructed to do by Jesus. The “tenth” leper may well have been on his way when he realized that he forgot to thank the One who made him well and he “returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him.” (Luke 17:15-16).

Our recent celebrations of Thanksgiving and Christmas helped us focus our attention on giving thanks to those people who have touched our lives in special and unique ways. As you review this Annual Report, the names of CBA’s benefactors and donors are listed, acknowledging their contributions and donations to our school. My sincere thanks and gratitude go to all who have contributed this past year* to the Lasallian mission as lived and experienced at Christian Brothers Academy.

Other highlights in this report include a letter from our Lasallian Educator of the Year, an article featuring CBA’s Unsung Heroes, an Alumni Profile and several other newsworthy items.

I join my thoughts together with those of St. Paul in his First Letter to the Philippians when he says, “I thank my God every time I think of you! Every time I pray for you, I pray with joy!” THANK YOU and may God bless you for all that you do!

Sincerely,

Brother Joseph Jozwiak, FSC Principal *Please note that donations depicted in this report are for the school’s Fiscal Year, which is July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. THANK YOU!

“It is a process of discovery. It’s being quiet enough and undisturbed enough for a period of time so that the songs can begin to sort of peek out, and you begin to have emotional experiences in a musical way.” – James Taylor As the recipient of the Distinguished Lasallian Educator of the Year for the 20122013 school year, I am reminded of many experiences over the past 18 years. These experiences range from the thrills of seeing my students succeed, to the sorrows of losing colleagues and students, to watching my own son walk across the stage to receive his CBA diploma last spring.

I feel especially grateful for the opportunity that I was awarded to be able to work in our ministry here in Syracuse. I consider my colleagues to be friends and feel that CBA is like a second family to me. I distinctly remember the phone call that I received in 1995 with the news that I had been hired to be the instrumental music director and eighth grade music teacher. I also remember starting my CBA career with the notion that this was “just a job” and one that I was grateful for. Over the years, however, I began feeling as though it might be something more. I began to involve myself in various aspects of the Lasallian world, such as LLI (Lasallian Leadership Institute). Through these types of formation, I realized that being a part of the CBA community was not only a job, but rather a calling, one that I have embraced.

This Annual Report is an acknowledgement of deep gratitude – a great big THANK YOU as depicted on the cover. Hundreds of individuals – from current parents to recent alumni, to alumni from the Willow Street days, from trustees to families and friends who comprise the CBA community – have demonstrated their support in many different ways. I add my enthusiastic voice to the accolades. Without your gifts, CBA could not function.

Most importantly, I would truly like to thank my colleagues and students, both past and present, for allowing me to be a small part of their lives, whether it was working with the Academy Teachers Association, holding the conductor’s baton in preparation for the next concert or chaperoning the 8th graders to Gettysburg. I look forward to many more years of building community at CBA. With Wi th tthanks, hank ha nks, nk s, s,

Timothy Davis Timo Ti moth mo th hy Da avi vs

Zaccai and his firm are “brainstormers” of everyday objects that make life a little easier, a little more interesting: the Swiffer system, the Reebok pump sneaker, the Aeron chair, the red Target shopping cart, among others.

On the spectrum of design, art is at one end and function is at the other. Zaccai likes to hover somewhere in between. “A painting in a gallery doesn’t do much good just hanging there. If it doesn’t meet a need - if there’s not an emotional and economic end - then it’s not really design, it’s decoration,” Zaccai said.

Alumni Profile:

Gianfranco Zaccai ’65

I

ndustrial Designer Gianfranco Zaccai ’65 thinks great food and great design have something in common.

A meal isn’t always about getting sufficient nutrition, he says, and a chair isn’t always just a place to sit.

“It’s the social situation they foster. Great food, like great design, allows people to be together in a way they couldn’t have imagined,” said Zaccai during a recent phone interview.

In 1983, the CBA grad co-founded Continuum, a Boston-based international consultancy that designs new products and services, works on brand makeovers and conducts consumer research. With offices in Los Angeles, Milan, Seoul and Shanghai,

“There’s nothing better than the feeling of going to bed at night, knowing you’re doing something positive for the world” Design, he added, goes much deeper. One of his most personally satisfying inventions is the Omnipod insulin pump: a miniature, wearable insulin pump for people, especially children, with diabetes. The tiny device is undetectable under clothing. It’s designed that way so other children won’t see it.

“It allows a sick kid to just be a kid,” Zaccai said.

Zaccai also designed the Compass, a modular system of interchangeable components and wall-mounted furnishings for healthcare facilities. The moveable components are designed to eliminate the spread of infections and still meet the organizational needs of clinicians and the comfort of patients.

His inventions are not created in a vacuum, he said. Procter & Gamble challenged Continuum to help the corporation discover a better way to clean. So Continuum team members spent hours in homes watching people clean. The extra step of cleaning a floor before mopping it inspired the static electric, disposable piece of paper now populating cleaning aisles across the world: the Swiffer.

Alumni News Zaccai moved to the North side of Syracuse from Brescia, Italy, east of Milan, when he was 9 years old, the youngest child of an optometrist/ photographer father and an artist-homemaker mother. His father had nearly been executed twice in Italy during World War II, and his mother was badly beaten. When they relocated to Syracuse, his once well-to-do parents, now refugees, struggled to get by. His father took employment at American Optical helping with prescriptions, and his mother became a seamstress at Addis Co. downtown.

Zaccai’s sisters taught him enough Latin to pass the CBA entrance exam and, although English was his second language, he entered CBA in the 10th grade. By his senior year, he mastered English to such a degree, that one of the Brothers accused him of plagiarism, he said, laughing.

its notion of changing the world by impacting the materials that inhabit it.

“Whether it’s buildings or cities, or little products to clean a home, or a way of thinking that can be applied to the way governments impact their citizens,” he said.

It’s not always about the almighty dollar for Zaccai, either. He feels he has a higher purpose.

“There’s nothing better than the feeling of going to bed at night, knowing you’re doing something positive for the world.

You can do that in lots of different ways and jobs. You just put ethics in what you do,” he said.

“It was a great honor to go to CBA,” Zaccai said. He doesn’t know how much financial aid CBA provided his parents so he could attend, but he knew they couldn’t afford it.

After graduating in 1965, Zaccai studied industrial design at Syracuse University and later got a degree in architectural design at Boston Architectural College.

He still believes wholeheartedly in Catholic education and its fundamental values. “The greatest core value I learned (at CBA) was to do things for others, rather than just do for oneself,” he said.

Although CBA had no art program at the time, Zaccai said his architectural “calling” was inspired by his creative, strongly ethical parents.

He discovered product design at SU, and adopted 22

A Message from the New Associate Director of Alumni and Annual Fund, Jessie Keating In late August, I stepped into the role of CBA’s Associate Director of Alumni and Annual Giving and continue to be amazed by the caliber of person that graduates from this school. Daily, I discover a new CBA alum whose name I recognize as one of the movers and shakers in the Central New York region.

The list of impactful lawyers, businessmen and women, politicians, priests and community servants goes on and on.

Our alumni show tireless dedication to preserving CBA’s legacy of educational excellence that Central New York has come to expect. Everyone - current, future and former students - benefits from that dedication. Without your generous contributions of both time and resources, CBA Syracuse does not meet its potential. It is important that our young alumni see the value of staying connected and dedicated to their alma mater, and in particular, to our Lasallian mission of providing access to a topnotch college preparatory education for all qualified students.

To create a more cohesive and connected alumni network, CBA is implementing an alumni networking “software-as-service” called EverTrue, thanks to Harvey Simmons ’07, currently working at EverTrue.

In 2013, CBA alumni will implement EverTrue for access to a mobile networking platform on your smart phones that allows you to post resumes, find jobs, find classmates, get CBA news and reunion updates, donate easily and quickly online, all at your fingertips.

In addition to EverTrue, CBA has contracted with Harris Connect to update our alumni directory. This process, which is free to the school, is a big boost to us as it provides updated information on our alums which helps us serve you better! Please respond this summer when you receive a postcard from Brother Joe inviting you to participate in the process. You will also have an opportunity to buy the directory which now features color photos submitted by you!

Between EverTrue and Harris Connect, we are confident that we will be able to do a better job facilitating events and networking among CBA “Brothers.”

I am looking forward to getting to know mo m more re alums in the coming months and to implementing new ways to connect with the school and wi w th each other. with

Alumni Reunions

The Class of 1972 gathered in full force in early October 2012 to celebrate 40 years since CBA. At least 45 “Brothers” attended the weekend events, which included a tasty Friday night Dinosaur BBQ tailgate at CBA, and a trip to Alibrandi Stadium to watch a solid trouncing of Henninger. Everybody woke up and did it again Saturday night at the Saltine Warrior, a CBA alum-owned (John Shahin ’81) sports pub in downtown Syracuse.

The festivities drew even more reunion revelers than Friday night, including Terry Aragoni, Gene Farnett, Gary Riley, Jeff Peisch and Andy Szkotak. Congratulations to the 1972 40th Reunion Committee of Don Dekay, Peter Demlein, Michael LaCasse, Dan Robbino, Bob Morris and Lou Steigerwald for an excellent turnout and a weekend full of reconnection, lots of love and shared memories.

Four members of the Class of 1952 celebrated their 60th year since graduation from CBA in September, 2012, by attending a Road Scholar historical and cultural program in Quebec, Canada. Dan Dombroski and wife, Myra, of Syracuse; Don Lauria and wife, Marie, from North Carolina; Frank Lostumbo and wife, Liz, from Maryland; and Jim Rowe and wife, Mary, from Ohio, met a few days early to share memories, photos and to explore Quebec City. Then these road scholars drove to Auberge du Mont, a classroom with a view in the Laurentian Mountains. Nestled near a small lake with a stunning mountainous backdrop, the crew was treated to marvelous fall colors, local cuisine and educational day trips. Now that’s a reunion they’d like to do every year.

Members of the class of 1954 were treated by Bob and Sue Congel to a long weekend full of laughs, love and memories at Savannah Dhu in late September.

LasallianLegacy Society What will your legacy be?

If you are like many Christian Brothers Academy alumni, the school has played an important role in your life. Perhaps you discovered a talent or passion while taking an AP class or were encouraged by a Brother or faculty member to reach your full potential. Perhaps a small role in the spring musical made you more appreciative of theater and the arts. In ways both large and small, CBA has probably influenced you.

It is almost impossible to put a dollar figure on what your experiences are worth. By making a bequest, you can acknowledge CBA in a meaningful way and make a lasting difference for the school and for your own personal legacy.

What is a bequest?

The term “bequest” usually refers to a statement in your written will of your wishes to provide charitable funding for CBA after your death. It is also common to provide charitable designations through retirement plans or IRAs, life insurance policies, revocable and irrevocable trusts, and government savings bonds.

Bequests have played an important role at CBA over the years.

Today bequests account for an increasing portion of the school’s endowment and funding.

Suggested Bequest Language For an unrestricted bequest to be used for general purposes: I hereby give, devise and bequeath to Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse, New York, a non-profit educational institution _____ percent of my estate (or, the sum of $_____; or , _____ percent of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate) to support Christian Brothers Academy.

Legal Name: Christian Brothers Academy Legal Address: 6245 Randall Road, Syracuse NY 13214 Tax Identification No: 15-0566330 Please check with your tax advisor about the best ways for you to take advantage of these opportunities. Individual circumstances and state and federal tax laws may affect your plans. We would be pleased to assist you in any way possible.

Wishes Do Come True Thanks To “Raise Your Paddle” Each year CBA teachers are asked to submit proposals for teaching aids, equipment or software costing up to $5,000 that would directly benefit students and utilize a creative approach to learn.

Students in math classes at CBA benefit from the newest calculator technology from Texas Instrument Navigation System, which connects students’ calculators to a main wireless system and projects it onto a white board.

At last March’s Lasallian Dinner and Auction, three submissions from the teachers’ “wish list” were selected to be included in the “Raise Your Paddle” live auction. With funds raised that evening, the Math department was able to purchase two classroom sets of the newest calculator technology from Texas Instruments Navigation System, which connects students’ calculators to a main wireless system and projects it onto a white board. In addition, the database and test generator for the NYS Regents curriculum, Examgen, was also acquired in order to more readily prepare students to master the New York State Regents Exams.

The third teacher request to benefit from the “Raise Your Paddle auction was the Reading Resource department, which requested Kurzweil 3000 software. Kurzweil 3000 is a reading, writing and learning software for students that require extra attention. The software uses a multi-sensory approach, presenting printed or electronic text on a computer screen with added visual and audible accessibility.

Mary Hartnett ’14 tries out new software purchased with funds from the Lasallian Auction.

Unsung Heroes

CBA Is Thankful for Maintenance Trio CBA’s Maintenance Trio (l-r): Jim Stoltz, Chrissy Ornoski, and Jim Veverka

It’s 5:00 a.m. in the middle of January. The parking lot and sidewalks of Christian Brothers Academy are covered with snow and someone needs to shovel.

It’s 7:00 p.m. on a Thursday in March.

The Annual Auction and Dinner is Saturday and someone needs to find an extra extension cord.

It’s 1:00 p.m. on a humid day in the middle of July.

CBA Summer Sizzle soccer camp is underway. With a couple hundred campers about to invade the grounds, someone needs to open up the stadium and prepare the locker rooms.

It’s 9:00 a.m. on a Monday in October. The toilet on the second floor is plugged and someone needs to clear it.

Who do you call? … “Someone?”

That “someone” could be any one of the three maintenance staff members at Christian Brothers Academy. Meet Jim Stoltz, Chrissy Ornoski and Jim Veverka. They are more reliable than the postman and they are there in every type of weather, all kinds of sporting and special events and any maintenance casualty that might strike CBA, be it the plugged toilet on the second floor or the heating and air conditioning unit.

It’s a thankless job, but hey, “someone” has to do it!

41

“Honestly, I wouldn’t say it’s a thankless job,” says Stoltz, who has been the Director of Maintenance since January of 2005. “I enjoy it. I always find someone who needs something done. When you work in this field for a majority of your life, it becomes a way of life. Everyone is so thankful and appreciative when we can help them.”

Right back at you, as CBA is thankful for the maintenance trio.

When it comes to maintenance, Stoltz, who has been in the field his entire professional life, is a jack-of-all-trades. As the Director of Maintenance, Stoltz oversees maintenance both inside and outside of the buildings comprising the CBA campus, from the boilers in the basement to the seal on the roof at the Brothers’ residence.

Jim handles requests for proposals for projects, assigns tasks and monitors them from conception to completion. Stoltz assists with setup and breakdown of events at CBA and is the one who is here at 5:00 a.m. if not earlier with Ornoski to salt the parking lots and sidewalks on those snowy Syracuse mornings.

“My job is very rewarding,”Stoltz shared. “From seeing a project from conception to completion, to helping the staff and faculty here at CBA with any of their maintenance needs and events. It’s all good.”

It’s all good for Annemarie Mosley, Associate Director for Special Events and Programs at CBA, who on a regular basis works with the maintenance staff on events. No stone is left unturned when it comes to their efforts.

“They always give above and beyond to ensure that every detail is taken care of at the events that I oversee,” Mosley said. “The set-up is done according to my expectations. They are always on top of their game.

It’s a pleasure working with them. They are always willing to help.”

“I have an excellent team,” Stoltz added. “They have an awesome set of skills. We work well together. There’s a lot of camaraderie. It’s a pleasure if you like who you work with. It makes it nice to get up in the morning.”

Getting up in the morning and traveling 60 miles round trip each day to Homer High School began to take its toll on Chrissy Ornoski, especially in the winter months. When she discovered the job opening at CBA, she applied immediately.

“I remember during my interview process, Brother said to me, ‘there’s so many people out there without a job and you have one, why do you want to be here.’ I told him I need to be here. This is where I want to be. I’m so fortunate that I was hired here. I love it here.”

Chrissy arrives at work at around 7:00 a.m. each morning and works until 3:00 p.m. A typical day at CBA will find her picking up the mail in the building and delivering it to the Dewitt Post Office. She might be outside for a couple of hours tending to debris or leaves throughout the campus. During lunch, she is in the cafeteria keeping the tables and floors tidy.

She cleans the locker rooms and any other needs that may arise in the building during the course of the day.

During summer, she keeps the grounds clean for the summer camps.

“Chrissy is always helpful,” CBA head football coach Joe Casemento said. “She works my summer camps. She is always willing to help others. All of our maintenance crew is top-notch. We are lucky to have them.”

Like Ornoski, Jim Veverka also started at CBA in 2010. He has spent his professional career in the air conditioning and heating business. He is also a licensed electrician.

Veverka works the afternoon/evening shift on weekdays. Like Stoltz and Ornoski, he will come in on the weekends if needed. He is responsible for maintaining the air conditioning, the boilers, the lights and general maintenance at the school.

He can also mow and plow when necessary.

“I do whatever has to be done,” Veverka said. “I have been doing this line of work since I was 17.

Building maintenance comes naturally for me.”

Veverka calls himself “the parts guy.”

“I am at Home Depot often,” Veverka shared.

“There is always something that needs a part and I have to make sure we have it.”

Some fixes have to be done after hours. That’s when Stoltz and Veverka team up.

“He is great to work with and for,” Veverka said of Stoltz. “We have a great team and we will always do whatever it takes to get the job done, big or small.

We are always trying to accommodate.”

Brenda Mulhern, Director of Operations, echoed those sentiments.

“They are meticulous, devoted, constructive, accommodating, compassionate,” Mulhern remarked. “I have never had an instance where one of the three staff members has said ‘no.’

They are accessible 24/7 to assist with facility issues, lend a hand to the Brothers or to any of the CBA staff members, families or students.

They are truly three of the finest maintenance staff members that have ever worked for me.”

“This is like our second home,”Veverka added.

“We take pride in what we do. I think people genuinely appreciate us being here.”

It can be tough keeping all those fields clean. “I get it done and it’s rewarding,” she said. “The most rewarding part of my job though is the overwhelming gratitude from the staff, faculty, parents and students.

That’s what makes my job the best.”
