The Robert D. Walter West Campus Initiative
The Robert D. Walter West Campus Initiative
For the first time in its 89-year history, St. Charles Preparatory School will expand its current Broad Street campus footprint. To be known as the “Robert D. Walter West Campus,” this project’s centerpiece will be the newly-purchased 6.2 acre site at the corner of Long St. and Nelson Rd., formerly the Dealers Lumber Co.
The project includes a new running track, practice field, parking lot and weight-training facility. An additional 46-space parking area will be built on a parcel of donated land along the west bank of Alum Creek. And an 180 ft. long pedestrian bridge will be installed to span Alum Creek to provide more convenient access between Main Campus and the new West Campus facilities.
As of the last week in April, workers have made good progress to date, completing a 20-ft high retaining wall for the Horvath Parking Lot and milling asphalt from the lumber yard site. Looking toward late summer, things are on schedule to install the campus’ turf practice field and running track –as well as sealing the surface parking lots by the start of the 2012-2013 school year and fall athletic seasons.
We invite you to visit our Facebook page to view ‘timeline” photo albums posted at http://www.facebook.com/stcharlespreparatoryschool as the project moves forward.

Upstart ‘Cardinalbots’ Compete at World Robotics Championships
As reported on the St. Charles Facebook Page (as this new website was being brought on “LIVE” and our old site “under repair”), ‘an ‘upstart’ student group, established just six months ago with less than a dozen members, ‘shot its way’ to notoriety by earning a spot in the FIRST World Championships that were held in St. Louis two weeks ago.
Visit http://www.facebook.com/stcharlespreparatoryschool to see photo albums dedicated to the team and its performance in the Regional and World competitions.
Known as the “CardinalBots,” the St. Charles Robotic team earned their invitation with a strong performance in the Buckeye Regional March 22-24 at the Wolstein Center on the campus of Cleveland State University. St. Charles took 5th overall at the competition which included more than 1,450 students from 59 teams representing four states and Canada. Out of eight other rookie teams, the Cardinals earned the “Rookie All-Star” award for its (and their robot’s) weekend performance and with it a merit-based championship bid.
At Championship, the “CardinalBots” had a fantastic finish –24th place in the ‘Curie Division’ that had 100 teams. The average length of experience for teams ranked #1 – #23 was 8.7 years. The Cardinalbots were only organized 6 months ago!!!At the event the team record was 5-4-0 in the completion which featured robots that shot basketball into various hoops.

Previous story on Robotics team:
SC Robotics team qualifies for world competitionThe St. Charles Robotic team earned their invitation with a strong performance in the Buckeye Regional March 22-24 at the Wolstein Center on the campus of Cleveland State University. St. Charles took 5th overall at the competition which included more than 1,450 students from 59 teamsrepresenting four states and Canada.
FIRST, an acronym of For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, was founded in 1989 by Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway. The group’s website states that “the varsity Sport for the Mind,” FRC combines the excitement of sport with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited resources, and time limits, teams of 25 students or more are challenged to raise funds, design a team “brand,” hone teamwork skills, and build and program robots to perform prescribed tasks against a field of competitors. It’s as close to “real-world engineering” as a student can get. Volunteer professional mentors lend their time and talents to guide each team.
Out of eight other rookie teams, the Cardinals earned the “Rookie All-Star” award for its (and their robot’s) weekend performance and with it a merit-based championship bid. It joined the top three overall teams, the “Chairman’s” award winner and the “Engineering Innovation”award winner. According to the FIRST manual, the “Rookie All Star” is “awarded to the rookie team exemplifying a young but strong partnership effort, as well as implementing the mission of FIRST: to inspire students to learn more about science and technology.”
The FIRST Robotics competition, held annually since 1992,gives high school students the opportunity to play engineer by designing their very own robot that can accomplish specific tasks. This year’s theme is “theRebound Rumble” robotics game played between two Alliances of three teams each.
The whole process started in January when teams received instructions and lists of parts for the competition. Teams had six weeks to design, build and practice with their robots. Then the machines, which must weigh less than 120 pounds, were sealed in plastic until they arrived in Cleveland for the regional competition. Teams from around the Midwest as well as several from Canada competed Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Participants take home many skills from the robotics competition, including experience with electronics, engineering, physics, programming, mechanics, woodworking, multimedia, marketing, sales, public relations and the ability to work under pressure. According to one of the young men on the team, the
Cardinalbots on Saturday morning huddled around their robot (named DC40) to asses why it’s arm wouldn’t push down the bridges. The ability to push down the bridge and balance on it was a crucial one, and the morning of a tournament is never the best time for the malfunction. After the St. Charles team worked
together through the short time frame, they managed to rebuild the arm and score several points because of it.
Individual teams were randomly placed into larger teams of three to form competing “red” and “blue” teams. Students had a few minutes before each match
to talk to their new teammates—likely from another school or state—to come up with a game plan. Teams earned points for each basket and for successfully rolling two robots onto one of the balancing platforms. In each case, one robot from the red team and one from the blue team had to balance together to earn “co-opertition” points.
During each 2-minute and 15-second matches, each ‘Tri-Alliance’ competed by trying to score as many of the basketballs in the hoops as possible during the. Balls scored in higher hoops score Alliances more points. Alliances were also rewarded with valuable seeding bonus points if they balanced on bridges at the end of the match.
After all of the seeding matches on Friday and Saturday morning were completed, every body’s scores were calculated through wins and “co-opertition”
points. Earning a place in the finals, the Cardinals were given the opportunity to choose the two other teams it would partner with in the final round. SC, at that time in 4th place, selected Team 379 (RoboCats, Girard High School, Girard, OH) and Team 677 (Murphy’s Outlaws, Columbus School for Girls, Columbus, OH) for the semifinals. After an unfortunate break in the Robocats’ robot, St. Charles’ third teammate, shooter,St. Charles placed 15th in that round. The Cardinalbots have been shadowing the CSG robotics team and its moderator, Dr. Kevin Sweeney, which has served as SC’s mentor since the team was established in the fall, providing a place to work during the build season and helpful veteran advice.

Visit our Facebook page to see photos of the honorees
(www.facebook.com/stcharlespreparatoryschool?sk=wall)
Feast Day: Borromean Medals; Principal’s Award
On Friday, November 4, the entire school body and members of the St. Charles community joined to celebrate the Feast Day of its patron, Charles Borromeo, as well as to acknowledge the achievements and service of four special individuals. The liturgy was celebrated by Bishop Frederick Campbell and was held in the school’s beautiful Robert C. Walter Student Commons. A reception followed afterward in the Campus Theatre’s Cavello Center. The honors were handed out by principal Dominic J. Cavello ’64 and St. Charles Advisory Board chairman, Timothy M. Kelley ’76. Those recognized were:
Dr. Tedd Ellerbrock, a graduate of the Class of 1964, was awarded The Borromean Award for Outstanding Achievement. Unfortunately he was unable to accept the award in person as he was working in Uganda at the time on special assignment with the U.S. State Department. In 2008, he received the United States Public Health Service’s Distinguished Service Medal in recognition of his exceptional scientific and public health achievements in fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the U.S. and abroad.
Since 1986, he has been a medical epidemiologist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Since 2003, he has been the Team Lead for Adult HIV Treatment in the Division of Global HIV/AIDS at CDC and, since 2005, the Co-Chair of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) Adult Treatment Technical Workgroup at the U.S. State Department. As one of the few obstetrician-gynecologists specializing in HIV/AIDS, from 1988-2002, Ellerbrock led some of the country’s first investigations to define the impact of HIV infection on women in the U.S. and co-authored some of the first publications about the epidemiology of women with AIDS in the U.S. In 2003, PEPFAR was launched to combat global HIV. The initial, 5-year, $18 billion program was the largest commitment by any nation to combat a single disease in history.
Since 2004, Dr. Ellerbrock has provided leadership and oversight of the PEPFAR Track 1.0 Treatment Program, which has helped to initiate life-saving antiretroviral therapy (ART) on 1.4 million persons at more than 1,300 medical facilities in 13 countries. As Co-Chair of the Adult Treatment Workgroup, he has helped to establish standards, improve policies and practices, and evaluate operations and outcomes of HIV treatment programs that currently support ART for 3.8 million persons worldwide. His hands-on, problem-solving approach contributed substantially to the initiation and earlysuccess of the program.
John (Class of 1978) and Linda Day Mackessy received The Borromean Medal for Distinguished Service for their long-time support and commitment to the St. Charles community. They have generously honored the memory of former faculty member Monsignor F. Thomas Gallen (“Monz”) ’40 through his endowment fund as well as their patronage of his Music Room; and served two highly-successful years as chairs for Parent’s Annual Fund; and for their years of involvement in support of so many parents’ and alumni activities.
The Principal’s Award for Leadership and Service to St. Charles was presented to William “Bill” Riat to acknowledge his counsel and leadership on every major transformative design and construction project that the school has successfully completed over thelast decade including the school’s front entry and courtyard (2002-03); the Robert C. Walter Student Commons and the Student Services and Fine Arts Center (2003-05); Walt Plank Field (2006-07); and currently, the new Robert D. Walter West Campus, where he worked to contract the land’s sale, with engineers and attorneys on detailed zoning issues; and towards the final construction phase.
Distinguished Alumnus Awards
A little more than two weeks later, on Tuesday, November 22, the Cardinal community drew together again to celebrate Mass and honor two very special alumni in the Walter Student Commons. A reception followed afterward in the St. Charles Student Service Center. The honors were handed out by assistant principal Jim Lower and St. Charles Advisory Board vice-chairman, Paul G. Heller ’82. Those recognized were:
Doctor Michael Oddi, Class of 1965, was also awarded the St. Charles Distinguished Alumnus Award. He is a practicing vascular surgeon who has given more than 40 years of service to America, its citizens and his fellow soldiers and comrades as a member of the United States Army. Doctor Oddi’s active duty service included his leadership as a commander and surgeon with the 848th Forward Surgical Team during his two tours of duty in Iraq. He has honorably displayed a selflessness that he once spoke about in others—the soldier’s spirit of bravery, commitment, and brotherhood–manifested in his life-saving work even with the possibility of losing his own life.
Dr. Dennis Durbin, Class of 1979, was also awarded the St. Charles Distinguished Alumnus Award. He is a pediatric emergency physician and clinical epidemiologist; a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia; and an internationally recognized leader in pediatric trauma research. Dr. Durbin is the co-scientific director of the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Dr. Durbin’s research interests are in the area of epidemiology and pediatric injury, with a particular emphasis on the prevention of motor vehicle occupant injuries to children and the prevention of teen driver crashes. His devoted service as his brother and sister’s keeper has helped preserve the priceless lives of so many children.
