Whitmoor C.C. was the place to be on a hot day. The fairway was strewn with bodies like a battlefield. The sun cocked an eye on the duffers and happiness was Channel 5′s Frank Cusumano, who shot a 59. It was Christian Brothers College High School’s (CBC) annual tourney. A DeSmet alum, Cusumano’s heart belonged to CBC for a day. Zoning czar John King, a barrrister for the school, where he graduated in ’54, turned to politics and questioned, “How can Jewish people support President Obama, when he won’t support Israel? After all, we can count on Jews the most. I would die for Israel.”

On the subject of zoning, King said 50 acres of a tract at the JCC will be developed and sold via lots by Mike Staenberg to Pulte, the nation’s largest homebuilder. With King was his son, Paul, who owns the Gateway Golf Center. CBC’s prez, Mike England, said 368 golfers participated in the tourney, raising $175,000 “for a good Christian education in support of financial aid to students.” Tuition is now more than $11,000 a year, which includes laptop fees. “With the struggling economy, we have 830 students and 235 freshmen. Our vision is having 1,000 students with 250 in each class. Then, we can expand the campus.”
