Jean Archbishop Edward A McCarthy High School Principal, Dr. Donald Edwards, Associate Superintendent, Archdiocese of Miami, Dr. Mary Anne Beiting, Principal, Archbishop Hoban High School, Akron, OH, President, NCEA Secondary Schools Department Executive Committee.
Our Principal, Richard P. Jean, received the 2014 Secondary Educational Excellence Award from the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) for his dedication and commitment to excellence.
Jean was recognized during a ceremony at the NCEA annual convention on April 23 in Pittsburgh, Pa. The annual award honors Catholic secondary school educators who merit national recognition for their significant contributions in diverse roles, including administrators, faculty, staff, campus ministers, board leaders, and athletic and co-curricular advisors.
"This year's honorees have each brought vision, passion and excellence to Catholic secondary education," said Matthew Russell, executive director of the NCEA Secondary Schools Department. "They provide wonderful examples of leadership and service to Catholic schools, assuring that they are rooted in faith and promote excellence in all programs."
Jean, who attended Barry University and earned his master's degree in educational leadership, has now been in Catholic education for the past 21 years. He has spent seven of those years as an assistant principal and twelve years as a principal. Jean has served as principal of Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy High School for the past four years. All decisions Jean makes at Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy High School are to create an environment where students will grow, excel, and succeed.
One of Jean's most notable accomplishments as principal is his commitment to incorporating technology into the school. He now offers training sessions for interested feeder and neighboring schools in the area who wish to follow McCarthy High School's example. Jean received requests from two special schools—one in Cairo, Egypt and one in Costa Rica—to help develop their iPad programs. Jean's philosophy is to share the knowledge and experience that his high school has gained through their use of technology to benefit other schools and their students worldwide.
About the NCEA Convention
NCEA's convention, held this year in collaboration with the Diocese of Pittsburgh, is the largest private education association gathering in the country. It draws participants from all facets of Catholic education, including elementary and secondary schools, religious education programs, and colleges and universities. The event features professional development sessions, liturgies and an exhibition of educational products and services.
This year's keynote speakers include Cardinal Donald Wuerl, archbishop of Washington, D.C. and author of the best-selling catechisms, The Teaching of Christ and The Catholic Way, who will discuss the New Evangelization; and Robert Marzano, Ph.D., cofounder and CEO of Marzano Research Laboratory in Colorado, who will explore the art and science of teaching.

Comparative Acoustic Measurements: Spherical Sound Source vs. Dodecahedron
Spherical sound source, consisting of a pair of coaxial loudspeakers and a pair of compression drivers and radiating into a common radially expanding horn, is used for acoustic measurements of rooms for speech and music. For exactly the same source-microphone pair positions, comparative measurements are made with a typical dodecahedron, keeping the same microphone technique, identical signals, and recording hardware under the same measuring conditions. Several software programs were used for evaluation of the acoustical parameters extracted from impulse responses. Parameters are presented in tables and graphics for better sound source comparisons. Spherical sound source reveals higher dynamic range and perfectly repeatable parameters with source rotation, which is in contrast to dodecahedron, where rotation steps resulted in some parameters' deviation.

FORT WAYNE – City government employees will see an average 1.9 percent wage increase for 2014 – maybe.
Fort Wayne City Council members voted to approve salary ordinances Tuesday for city workers for next year, ordinances that include an average 1.9 percent increase in the base amount of pay.
But council members warned that funding for that increase won't be decided until the council approves the budget next month, and that process could lower – or even eliminate – the amount of increase.
When it comes to budget time, that money may not be available, and we may have to adjust it downward, said John Crawford, R-at large.
Human Resources Director Mike Esselburn said much of the salary ordinance is annual procedure required by state law. Employees get step increases as they gain seniority or raises if they get promoted, and most of the measures approved Tuesday codify the charts city positions fall under.
But it also includes the across-the-board increase so that wages keep up with inflation. Inflation has been running about 2 percent.
Councilman Russ Jehl, R-2nd, asked administration officials for a calculation of what cuts employees experienced this spring when the council approved large changes to city benefits. Among the changes are requiring employees whose spouses are eligible for health insurance elsewhere to take that coverage as their primary policy instead of being on the city's plan. There were also major changes in how sick time is awarded and used.
The administration estimated the changes would save the city up to $4 million, but it was unclear what the changes would mean to the overall compensation of individual workers. Jehl said it would help council members to decide on the wage increase if they knew what kind of hit workers had taken on the benefit side of the equation.
Council members voted 8-0 to approve the ordinances, with Marty Bender, R-at large, abstaining. Bender is a deputy police chief.
Ice arena remake
Council members voted unanimously to approve a $1.7 million contract with Weigand Construction to transform the McMillen Ice Arena into a community center. The ice arena closed in 2009. Officials hope that by this time next year the complex will be a community center that will have basketball, an indoor track and activities for children and adults. Parks department officials say they plan educational, social and health and fitness programs, including exercise and continued learning for older people and after-school programs and athletics for younger people.
The money for the project is from the Legacy Fund, which is money from the lease and sale of the city's old electric utility, City Power & Light. The fund is meant to pay for transformative projects that improve the quality of life in Fort Wayne.
Renovation work will begin in October and is expected to be finished next year. Parks Director Al Moll said the entire project was estimated to cost $4.5 million, but the bids for the first phase came in much lower than expected, allowing officials to do more work in the first phase than they planned.
Moll also said foundations and businesses have come forward to partner on the project that could allow the addition of an indoor playground at no cost to taxpayers.
