POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y., Apr 23, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Paul E. Haering, a veteran engineer with more than 20 years of service and experience, has been appointed Assistant Vice President of Engineering and Environmental Services of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation, a subsidiary of CH Energy Group (CHG). Haering, who was recognized as the firm’s 2006 Manager of the Year for his championing of electric infrastructure investments, vegetation management and other electric service improvement initiatives, will play a key role in assuring that Central Hudson reaches its goal of improving electric reliability during the next five years.

“Paul has been an excellent example of what a ‘can do’ attitude can mean in a large company like ours,” said Carl E.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Manhattan College; earned a master’s degree, also in Electrical Engineering, from Polytechnic University; is a graduate of the GE Power System Engineering Program; and plans on completing his course of study to receive an Executive Master’s in Business Administration from Rensselaer Polytechnic University in May.

[N.B.: In accordence with my liberal definition of what is a Jasper, I think if some one saw fit to mention his time at Manhattan College, then it must have been important to him. That makes him a Jasper to me. Besides isn't once of the corporal works of mercy to bury the dead? I'll commend him to our fellow alums for their prayers. Also if you read the obit, he was a fellow that demonstrated what qualities a Jasper should have. imho.]

Theresa M Gatarz, devoted to family, students

LEBANON — Theresa M Gatarz, 50, of Lebanon died Thursday (April 19, 2007) at Presbyterian Hospital in Philadelphia.

Born in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of Robert and the late Louise Evans. Terry married Frank Gatarz on July 1, 1978, and spent 28 wonderful years with him. She lived in Hillsborough for 20 years before moving to Lebanon two years ago.

Terry graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Scranton, a Master’s degree in Education from Rutgers University and a Certificate of Administration from Manhattan College.

She was a teacher at the Christ the King School in Manville for many years, the vice principal of Immaculate Conception School in Somerville for three years, and the principal for the George Everitt Academy in Peapack.

Terry’s first passion was always her family, but teaching and educating were a close second. She genuinely enjoyed the students and committed herself to their betterment. During her leisure time, Terry enjoyed reading, old movies and the Jersey shore.

Besides her mother, Louise, who died in 1998, she was predeceased by her brother, Dennis.

Terry is survived by her husband, Frank Gatarz; her sons, Jonathan and Greg; her daughters, Stephanie and Amanda; her father, Robert Evans of Pompano Beach, Fla.; and her two sisters, Deborah Lewis of Port Crane, N.Y., and Susan Sparrock of Aberdeen. She is also survived by her grandchild, Aiden McKenna.

A funeral liturgy will be held 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at Our Lady Of Lourdes Church in Whitehouse Station. Burial will be at Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Annandale. Friends may visit with the family 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Monday at Kearns Funeral Home, 103 Old Highway, Whitehouse.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Our Lady Of Lourdes Education and Youth Faith Foundation, 390 County Road 523, Whitehouse Station, NJ 08889.

Hi,

Today I’m turning this space over to Vic Braden for about a story about his family in America and Brooklyn. It is a story of both his and our Nostalgia, Memories and Thoughts of Brooklyn. I believe you will enjoy it.

In 1958 I graduated from Manhattan College and started at NYU law. Papa was not overly pleased with my decision but since the passing of Julius had become a little more flexible. Actually, much more flexible.
