PITTSBURGERS EXCITED TO SEE NATIVE SON BECOME CARDINAL

Cardinal facts

Archbishop Donald Wuerl is one of two Americans among the 24 cardinals who will be installed this weekend.

The group includes the Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria, Egypt; the Archbishop of Warsaw; and the Archbishop of Columba, Sri Lanka.

The most prominent task of the College of Cardinals is voting in papal elections.

This weekend's events in Rome bring the number of voting cardinals to 203. Sixty have been named by Pope Benedict XVI. Eighty-two cardinals are older than 80 and ineligible to vote in papal elections.

Wuerl brings to six the number cardinals leading archdioceses in the United States. Four American cardinals work in Rome, and another eight U.S. cardinals are retired.

The Rev. Donald Breier rushed to pack yesterday before celebrating Mass and heading to the airport.

Breier, 67, rector at St. Paul Cathedral in Oakland and cousin of Washington Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl, was heading to Rome for a two-day ceremony tomorrow and Sunday at the Vatican during which Wuerl will be elevated to cardinal.

"I really don't quite know what to expect this weekend," said Breier, who is among the estimated 400 people from Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh expected to attend the ceremony. "I just have never seen anything like this."

Wuerl, 70, grew up in Mt. Washington and was bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh for 18 years before being named archbishop of Washington in 2006. Pope Benedict XVI announced his selection of Wuerl to the College of Cardinals on Oct. 20.

Among those heading to Rome are Pittsburgh Bishop David Zubik, one-time secretary to Wuerl who has known him for 23 years; Wuerl's two brothers; and countless priests and friends. Even Steelers Chairman Emeritus Dan Rooney, the U.S. ambassador to Ireland, will attend the ceremony.

"It will be an awesome experience," said Zubik, who talks to Wuerl several times a month. "What is so special is that the church recognizes his special gifts."

Breier grew up in Mt. Oliver and attended Mount St. Mary's Seminary in Cincinnati with Wuerl five decades ago. Their family has produced priests in each of the past four generations.

"He is probably one of the smartest people I have known. He has true intelligence and common sense," Breier said. "He wants to build bridges, and knows that most prejudice and bigotry is based on ignorance."

Wuerl's appointment as a cardinal was not a surprise, said Thomas J. Reese, a Jesuit priest and senior fellow at the Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University and author of "Archbishop: Inside the Power Structure of the American Catholic Church."

"He has been very well liked in the Vatican," Reese said. "He is very smart and takes the teaching role of the bishops seriously. He is no liberal, but he does not like confrontation, and has no interest in things like denying communion to pro-choice politicians or threatening people with excommunication."

Wuerl spent a decade in Rome and was one of was one of three non-cardinals permitted inside the 1978 conclave that selected Karol Wojtyla as Pope John Paul II.

His reputation and role as a bridge-builder will be important in an increasingly conservative U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said John Allen, who covers the Vatican for the National Catholic Reporter.

"He's one of the few liked and trusted, by both the conservatives and the more liberal social justice group, among the bishops," Allen said. "Wuerl is a consummate churchman -- loyal and very much a team player. Inside the bishops' conference, he's seen as a moderate. Wherever Wuerl is, there's the center of the conference.

Obama Calls on Pittsburgh to Prepare Memorial Day Pancakes

The prez sure has been giving a lot of love to Pittsburgh lately. He announced he'll hold the next G-20 summit in the Steel City, entertained the Pittsburgh Steelers at the White House (he divulged to the Super Bowl champs that he has a "terrible towel," the black-and-gold rag fans wave in the air), and even invited the owners of local fave Pamela's to help make Memorial Day breakfast.


Why bring in out-of-towners to do the job? One word: pancakes.



The president loved Pamela's unique, crepelike pancakes when he wolfed down a platter while campaigning for the Pennsylvania primary. So when the White House needed to make a top-notch breakfast for families who have lost a loved one at war, it was Pittsburgher Gail Klingensmith of Pamela's P&G Diners who got the call.

"I thought it was a joke, everybody thought it was a joke, and it wasn't a joke," Klingensmith tells Whispers.


She and co-owner Pamela Cohen were in a frenzy at the prospect, but they quickly began making arrangements to get themselves and their secret ingredients to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

When the pancake supplies arrived, Klingensmith received a text message from White House Executive Chef Cris Comerford: "The Eagle Has Landed."


And pancakes are just the beginning.

There has been a lot of talk about the Obamas bringing all sorts of culinary talents into their kitchen.

Most who have prepared food so far have been big names. Spike Mendelsohn of Top Chef fame and Spanish chef José Andrés cooked outside at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll. Art Smith, Oprah's former chef who now operates Art and Soul in Washington, was there for Easter, too. And we hear that he returned to the White House recently to whip up a lunch.

SLIDE SHOW - "FALL IN WESTERN PA", BY DAWN NARET'

PLEASE STOP HERE.....READ OF OUR SPIRIT........FEEL THE TRUTH THAT BONDS THESE PEOPLE - THANK YOU

.

GOD BLESS YOU PITTSBURGH CHAMPION ATHLETES...AND GOD BLESS THEIR SUPPORTING FANS ! !

3 "WORLD-CLASS" SPORTS TEAMS IN ONE LITTLE CITY! ! ....STEELERS, PIRATES AND PENGUINS. AT ONE TIME WE HAD A 4TH, THE PITTSBURGH SPIRIT SOCCER PROFFESSIONALS. I SAW THEM PLAY AND WAS A NEW FAN OF THE SPORT. AS MUCH AS I CAN BE A "FAN", SINCE....."I DON'T DO SPORTS" !

PEOPLE LAUGH AT MY KNOWLEDGE AND ALSO AT MY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, BECAUSE I NEVER WAS AN "AVID" SPORTS FAN.....BUT MY HUSBAND WAS. HE'D HAVE 4 GAMES GOING AT ONCE AND I WAS THE PROVERBIAL "FOOTBALL WIDOW".

I COULDN'T HELP, BUT TO LEARN THINGS, WHILE LISTENING TO THE BLARE OF THE TVS AND THE ROAR OF MY MAN, BUT I GOT SOME THINGS MIXED UP, ONCE IN A WHILE.......

I THOUGHT FRANCO HARRIS WAS IRISH, AND HIS NAME WAS "FRANK O'HARRIS", LIKE "O'LEARY"......HEY ! EASY MISTAKE !

I DID A COUPLE OF CHARITY EVENTS, WITH FRANCO, AND WAS WITH HIM THE DAY HE WAS DUE TO BE ENTERED INTO THE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME.

I TOLD HIM THE "O'LEARY" STORY AND HE GOT A GOOD LAUGH, BUT I THINK THAT'S WHAT HE LIKED ABOUT ME. I LIKED HIM, FOR THE "MAN" HE WAS, THE BEAUTIFUL SOUL AND SPIRIT, NOT ONLY AS A FOOTBALL ICON! I THINK THAT'S WHY HE TOOK A LITTLE TIME TO TALK , WHEN WE BUMPED INTO EACH OTHER, ON HALL OF FAME DAY.

IT CALMED HIM DOWN, FROM THE JITTERS AND RELIEVED HIM OF BEING EXPECTED TO LIVE UP TO "BEING A GOD". HE LIKED BEING APPRECIATED, AS JUST A GOOD FRIEND OF SOMEONE WHO "DIDN'T DO SPORTS".

BUT I GOT AN EVEN BIGGER "HOUNDING", BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE HEINZ WARD AWARD WAS A LOCAL HEINZ KETCHUP COMPANY ENDOWMENT! I WATCHED THE SUPERBOWL WITH SOME LADY FRIENDS AND WHEN I HEARD THE ANNOUNCEMENT, ABOUT THE AWARD, I KEPT ASKING, BUT "WHO" WON THE AWARD?

ONE LADY WAS KIND ENOUGH TO ANSWER, "HEINZ WARD" AND I REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT "WHO" WON THE HEINZ AWARD? IT SOUNDED LIKE WE WERE DOING A "WHO'S ON FIRST" COMEDY SKIT, BUT I WAS DEAD SERIOUS! SHE FINALLY GOT ME TO UNDERSTAND THAT "THE WINNING MAN" WAS NAMED HEINZ ! !

PITTSBURGH PEOPLE LOVE THEIR TEAMS ! EVEN THOSE WHO "DON'T DO SPORTS" !

I WONDERED HOW THIS MODERATELY SIZED CITY CAME TO HAVE 3 CHAMPION LEVEL TEAMS AND I DECIDED IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A CITY OF "CHAMPION" PEOPLE !

THEY ARE MOSTLY LABORING FOLKS, NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER, OR FROM THEIR PARENTS. THEY ARE HONEST, HARD-WORKING, INTELLIGENT. BUT MOST WERE NEVER INVITED INTO ANY "ADVANCED" CLASSES, ALTHOUGH MANY COULD HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE BEST OF THEM !

MANY WERE EXCELLENT SPORTS PLAYERS, BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE TEAM......ALTHOUGH THEY COULD HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE BEST OF THEM !

MANY OF THEM VIEW THESE TV PLAY-OFFS AS A PERSONAL EFFORT. THEY ARE ONE WITH THESE PLAYERS, MIND SOUL AND SPIRIT ! AND WHEN THE TEAM LOSSES........THE FANS CRY WITH THEM.

BUT WHEN THE TEAM WINS !
THE FANS WIN WITH THEM ! THEY FEEL THAT IT IS A PERSONAL ACHIEVMENT ! THE GAME THEY COULD HAVE WON....IF THEY HAD GOTTEN A CHANCE TO PLAY !

OR, FOR THIS ONE....THEY WORE THEIR LUCKY SOCKS ! THEY DRANK THAT EXTRA BEER, FOR GOOD LUCK ! THEY WALKED AROUND THE HOUSE TWICE, FARTED ON THE NEIGHBORS LAWN AND CURSED ALL THE PLAYERS OF THE PITTSBURGH "DRINK TAX", BEFORE PUNCHING THE WOODWORK AND WALKING IN ! THEY DID EVERYTHING JUST RIGHT !

EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN CONTRIBUTION TO THE WIN ! AND EVERYONE IDENTIFIES WITH THEIR TEAM'S EMOTIONS. THEY LAUGH, THEY CRY, THEY CUSS AND THEY LIE ! BUT THEY ARE IN THERE, WITH THOSE PLAYERS, RIGHT ON THE FIELD.

AND WHEN WE WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP....WE "ALL" GET CAUGHT UP IN THE SPIRIT AND IT BECOMES "OUR OWN PERSONAL WIN", AS A CITY OF PEOPLE, THAT WERE NEVER INVITED TO MUCH....BUT WE COULD HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE BEST OF THEM...AND WE PROVED IT !!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
LOVE, DAWN
