Next Year They Want a Motorcade, I Assume

Immigrants who aren’t allowed to drive have announced a long march across the state of Rhode Island after House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello said he won’t be letting this legislation go forward this session. Kudos to the House Speaker, who added, “My opinion is the electorate across the state, the citizens of the state, are not in support of this bill. The debate has exposed a divide between Rhode Island’s growing Latino population in and around Providence and suburban areas outside the city. Rhode Island has about 35,000 illegal immigrants says the Pew Hispanic Center. Without Social Security numbers to show legal residency, they can’t get drivers licenses. The foolish piece of legislation illegals apparently want is a special license allowing them to pay a fee, but the card would not be a form of I.D. Does anybody out there really think that is how this bill will be implemented? First off, a special driver’s license would be an I.D. card, or why even issue it to anyone. Reportedly the march will be held later this summer and is inspired by farm labor leader Cesar Chavez back in the 1960s. However, what today’s Latino activists forget is that Chavez was very much anti-illegal immigration because it hurt those in the country legally working the fields back then. Democratic Gov. Gina Raymondo backs this insane idea, but said she would not be using an executive order because this is a legislative issue. (Continued on Page 14)

Many Unanswered Questions on Nursing Home Sale Earlier this week, articles appeared in the Boston Herald and NorthEndWaterfront.com reporting on what some say is the inevitable closing of the Spaulding Nursing and Therapy Center North End (formerly and still known to many as the North End Nursing Home). We at the Gazette would like to believe this closing is not inevitable. There have been rumblings, but nothing concrete until the day the articles ran, mentioning that “residents and families are currently being notified of plans to sell the property.” Interesting that folks quoted in the article, and others, got phone calls the same day, telling them their elderly mothers were being moved and to pick a place! Nothing in writing, no formal notification. Just basically, your mom is being evicted as soon as possible. The woman who gave you life and could possibly die with the stress and disruption of this move is being kicked to the curb with a phone call. Seems a bit inconsistent with Partners Healthcare’s professed values, doesn’t it? Here are a few tidbits from their Guide to Ethical Standards. ON PATIENT CARE: “To provide safe, high quality health care we must ensure that we actively engage our patients and their families in their care, while treating them with kindness, respect and without discrimination.” “Provide services in the most appropriate setting for the patient. This ... requires sensitively considering the particular concerns of patients who may need physical, social, or cultural accommodations in their care.” ON COMMUNICATION: “Partners is committed to transparent, truthful, responsive and clear communications with those outside our organization.” IN GENERAL: “Integrity is at the core of all we do. If you question the appropriateness of a decision or action, contact us.” Well, yes, we do question this decision. Who can we call??

When the Nursing Home opened in 1983, it was understood that it would continue to serve the North End Community in perpetuity. Hence, the idea that there was “a promise.” Supposedly, there’s a piece of paper at the BRA that says if the property ceases to operate as a nursing home for North End residents, the property reverts to the city. News that Partners plans to sell the property to a developer suggests this either is not true, or that piece of paper has been tucked away somewhere. Well, we are looking for it. Meanwhile, one of the articles states that “the facility is not meeting the owner’s economic needs.” Hard to figure what Partners, the richest healthcare conglomerate around these parts, and a “non-profit” to boot, needs to make off the sick and disabled elderly in Boston’s oldest neighborhood. But then, they are not the official owners. The Assessing Department of the City of Boston lists FRC, Inc. as the owner. They are apparently one of Partners’ partners and are listed as a “domestic profit corporation.” No information on what they actually do seems to be available. But whatever it is, it’s for profit! And they don’t appear to care much about those Ethical Standards ... The North End community is up in arms. Talk of petitions and protests can be heard everywhere. Given the recent vote by the Boston City Council approving putting the Community Preservation Act on the ballot in the fall, one would think the City and Mayor Walsh would be stepping up here. They were very excited about taxing us more to support subsidized low-income housing for people we don’t know. How about helping us keep our elderly loved ones in a comfortable setting that is the closest thing to “home” for them and where they can be visited and cared for by family as well as the excellent staff? Whether it’s Partners and their deep pockets, or some of this city funding, someone should put the brakes on this cold-hearted plan....or maybe we can find that piece of paper at the BRA ...

Flying the Colors Tuesday, June 14 , is Flag Day. Fly your American flag proudly. And be sure to observe these regulations: no disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor. (a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. (b) The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise. (c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free. (d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, th

by David Trumbull white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general. (e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.

However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica should be worn on the left lapel near the heart. (k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

THE ROMAN REPUBLIC

Roman provinces on the eve of the assassination of Julius Caesar, 44 BC. (Photo by English Wikipedia) During past issues we outlined the history of ancient Rome by dividing it into three separate and distinct periods. These were listed as: 1. Regal Rome, the period of seven legendary kings; 2. The Republic, and 3. The Empire. We then identified the seven legendary kings of Regal Rome as Romulus, Numa Pompilius, Tullus Hostilus, Ancus Marcius, Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, Servius Tullius, and Lucius Tarquinius Superbus. The great political era that is properly referred to as the Roman Republic started with the

expulsion of Lucius Tarquinius Superbus in 510 B.C. and continued beyond the death of Julius Caesar, to the declaration of Augustus as Emperor in 27 B.C. This was a period of 483 years. A study and report on the history of Rome would fill an entire library, and require a 100 years to understand and record all of the material. The period of the Republic alone would probably require 35 years. There are times when simplification can be most merciful, and I guess that time is now at hand. Greatly condensed and simplified, we can safely say that

the main political events occurring during the Republic were: 1. The Conquest of Italy. A simplified and suitable set of laws was formulated during this period, and was called “The Law of the Twelve Tables,” and the Roman Senate became a powerful governing body while their armies engaged in a series of wars which ended with Roman control over the Italian peninsula up to the Arno River. 2. World Power. Rome became a world power when it defeated Carthage in a war over Sicily. Later the Romans were victorious in the Punic Wars, and established complete control over the Mediterranean. This is the time when the Romans referred to that body of water as “mare nostrum,” our sea. 3. Internal Conflict. The City of Rome became a barbarous arena filled with politicians, generals, and soldiers. The unfair distribution of slave labor drove many farmers into ruinous debt and even prison. This was also the time of Julius Caesar, the First Triumvirate, Cleopatra, Mark Antony, hanky panky, and “Veni, Vidi, Vici.” NEXT ISSUE: The Character of the Early Romans

Dorchester Day Parade

Noel was born in southern France on February 2, 1613. He was the son of a notary, and one of four children. He entered the Jesuit novitiate in Toulouse, France, on February 8, 1630. He became a college teacher in Toulouse from 1632 to 1639 and was ordained in 1641. He taught rhetoric in several colleges of the Society in the province of Toulouse. He was highly esteemed for his virtue and learning. In 1643, he was sent to the Canadian missions. He arrived in Quebec on August 16, 1643. After studying the Algonquin language for a year, was appointed to the mission of the Hurons, where he remained till his death. In his work among the Hurons, he was the companion of the missionary Fr. Charles Garnier. As Father Noel felt a strong aversion to the life and habits of the Huron, and feared it might result in his own withdrawal from the work, he committed himself by vowing never to leave the mission. At the beginning of December 1649, he was at the Saint-Jean mission among the Tobacco Indians, when an uprising that took the life of Father Garnier and some converts took place. Fr. Noel received orders to go to the main residence, Sainte-Marie, on the island of Saint-Joseph. He had started on his way back with some Christian Hurons when they heard the cries of the Iroquois returning from Saint-Jean. Father Noel urged his followers to escape, but was too exhausted to keep up with them. He was captured and martyred out of hatred of the Christian faith. Saint Noel Chabanel is one of the Martyrs of North America: Saints John de Brebeuf, Isaac Jogues, Antony Daniel, Gabrial Lalemant, Charles Garnier, Noel Chabanel, Rene Goupil and John Lalande. They were canonized in 1930. Their feast is observed in the United States and Canada and on December 26th, and on March 16th by the Society of Jesus.

Once again, they partied like it was 1999 in Dorchester on Sunday, June 5 th, at the Dorchester Day Parade. Another great parade for all who turned out to watch despite the weather. There were lots of clowns, plenty of great

sounding bands, local organizations, and floats. And, of course, politicians. While sunny days make for great parades, even when the sun went into hiding, folks had a great time watching this year’s edition of the parade.

Donna Summer Roller Disco Party RETURNS TO CITY HALL PLAZA The third-annual Donna Summer Celebration of Summer Roller Disco Party will be held on Friday, June 17th, from 6:00–10:00 pm on City Hall Plaza. The family-friendly event is free and open to the public. The City of Boston will provide free skate rentals to guests on a first-come, first-served basis and all are encouraged to bring their own skates if available. The event will welcome back DJ Kon to the DJ decks. Kon, a.k.a. Christian Taylor, has been a member of Boston's hip-hop scene for decades, and he is internationally recognized as a re-edit and rework pioneer. Joining Kon will be members of Donna Summer's extended family, including O’Mega Red, Donna’s nephew and flag-bearer for her legacy. “That the Mayor shows this respect to Donna

each year is something the family truly appreciates,” said O'Mega Red. “My aunt was very much a true diva and her legacy survives and grows larger with each passing year.” Summer died at age 62 on May 17, 2012. “No Boston-born musician has sold more albums than Donna Summer,” said Holly Thomason of the Boston Roller Derby, which will again support the event. “As the Roller Derby, we obviously pay our respects, but as a woman, Donna represented a bold, courageous, and fearless artist.” “To us, Donna Summer is as big as Elvis,” said David Day, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Together Boston, a promotional partner. “She was a pioneer of modern music and approached technology with a confidence few have seen since.”

L’Anno Bello: A Year in Italian Folklore The Magic of Months by Ally Di Censo Symynkywicz

At the beginning of the month, I have a special ritual. I open to the new page on my desk calendar and look through the days of the month, decorating holidays or anniversaries with quirky doodles. Each new month is like an unwrapped gift, making me quiver with anticipation and a sense of mystery. Indeed, I have always been fascinated by months and, more importantly, their essence. In my mind, every month of the year has a unique character, an underlying trait that sets its days apart from those of other months. Holidays, saints’ days, superstitions, family occurrences — all of these events add up to a rich and particular tapestry that typifies any month. During the olden days, when society was primarily based on agriculture, people viewed months as separate entities, depending on the weather and cycles of the sun and moon to help them plant. This is a much more romantic view than the way we perceive months in the modern era, when calendars are synonymous with busy schedules and frozen fruits allow us to eat out of season. I believe that we should reclaim the aura of uniqueness that surrounds each month, enjoying them for their own properties and emotions. For a model on how to do this, we must turn to Italy. The magic of each month is deeply ingrained in Italian folklore. No matter the season, one can be sure that any given month abounds with its own proverbs and superstitions. Take our current summery month of June. In Italy, the peasants of yore bequeathed

a number of weather-related proverbs that looked ahead to the harvest of late summer, or simply commented on the climate that characterized the month. One saying declares: “Giugno ventoso, porta presto il grano sull’aia,” meaning that a windy June will soon bring the grain to the farmyard. Another proverb, which reads “In giugno, in bene o in male, c’é sempre un temporale,” warns that in June, no matter how good or bad the weather has been, there will always be a rainstorm! Other proverbs relate to the feast days of the saints, which dot the Italian calendar and provide people with a focus for religious devotion and a reckoning system for determining important dates in the agricultural year. Italians may repeat the rhyme “Per San Barnabá, il piú lungo della ‘sta.” This roughly translates that the feast day of St. Barnabas, or June 11th, is the longest day of the summer, referring to the fact that this date actually coincided with the summer solstice in the years before the Gregorian calendar reform. A charming yet slightly foreboding dictum declares: “La notte di San Giovanni, ogni erba nasconde inganni.” This means that on June 23rd, the eve of St. John the Baptist’s feast day, every herb hides some form of deceit — a callback to the old tradition of gathering herbs on this night, when it was believed that the magic of the summer solstice imbued them with mystical healing properties. Finally, other proverbs simply relish the bounty of nature available in June, such as “Giugno ciliege a pugno,” which means that

cherries are plentiful in June. What a lovely month these proverbs reveal! Now, whenever I think of the months of the year, I try to focus on the exceptional qualities of each. January means deep drifts of snow and sparkling ice under an ever-lightening sky. February brings an explosion of red hearts and lace, and eerie masks for Carnivale. March is the month of green, of brisk winds and shamrocks. April recalls daffodils peeking out from the ground and baskets laden with pastel eggs. May translates to an abundance of flowers and the first hints of summer heat from a brightly shining sun. June is the end of the school year, a month of outdoor excursions and mysterious evenings eating out under the pale twilight of late evening. July includes fireworks bursting across a starry dark sky, and trips to the rolling ocean waves or the energetic city. August is golden, like ripening grain, with mornings that smell like the woodsy charm of autumn. September means harvest and rhythm, red and yellow leaves, and the glorious crunch of apples. October is synonymous with shadowy nights and glowing pumpkins, with the wind spookily whistling through bare tree branches. November simultaneously means the chill of early winter and the warmth of family gatherings, sharing an abundance of food. Finally, December envelops jingling bells and flickering candles, holidays of light and family and goodwill. Collectively, all of the months complement each other, adding to that indelible cycle we call the year. This month, think of all the wonderful feelings and sensations that June brings to you, whether they relate to the summer season, a birthday or anniversary, or even a food you enjoy. We all would reap the benefits of living each month for its uniqueness, as this allows us to focus on the present moment and relish all the beauty that life and nature afford. Let us go on to look at each month not simply as a page on a calendar, but an opportunity ripe for celebrations and markings of the passage of time. That way, every month is a proverbial gift for us, granting us both the transience and endurance of time.

THINKING OUT LOUD by Sal Giarratani

Captain America is Gay; They Wanna Make James Bond a Girl; Washington Owned Slaves; and Batman is Fighting Superman As an aging baby boomer, I have come to notice how quickly America has been changing, and to the point it is difficult to recognize. The bitter battle between the Democrats and Republicans today is a metaphor for the anger that is out there for so many. Everyone is fighting for some cause that they believe is the cause of all time. Almost 25 years ago, Pat Buchanan warned that there was a cult-ural war on the horizon, and that warning has turned into reality. There was a time when all of us worked to find common ground, to find middle ground, but that was then. Today, all the wingnuts are in charge. Hillary Clinton has gone ballistic on Donald Trump, saying he is apparently a clear and present danger to the Republic. Democrats on the far left have compared him to Hitler, and this hateful speech has been leading a number of radicals to try to shut down Trump’s rallies, allegedely intimidating and assaulting Trump supporters. While these extremists call Trump a Nazi, it is they who have put on those brown shirts trying to shut down free speech. Where is Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders? Where are the #NoTrump Republicans, like Mitt Romney? Where is President Obama? Where are MSNBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post or Time Magazine? I believe this will be the mother of all presidential races. Trump is the result of our political class in both parties making such a mess out of everything that means something to most of us. The masses are tired of politics as usual. They are tired of hearing our president tell us how strong the economy is, while many have no jobs. Why do you think Obama is now visiting those Rust Belt states like Indiana? The last thing someone unemployed wants to hear is how great the job market is. Doesn’t really resonate, does it? Getting back to all these new changes taking place. Whatever happened to those liberals who wanted the government

out of our bedrooms? Now most of them are just “okiedokie” with the government in our bathrooms. Can I tell you something? I never ever thought growing up that the government would move into our bathrooms. I thought that room was safe. Guess again. By the way, on the transgender issue, I can only take so much of Jeff Kuhner. The Kuhnerman thinks it’s akin to the end of western civilization. I just think it is a stupid idea. I never thought the government would ever give a %#*& about taking a leak. Guessed wrong. As far as diversity goes, I am all for it, as long as it is fair across the board for all. I have no problem with other peoples’ sexuality or their gender. Personally, I am not sure there ever was a discrimination problem when going to a public restrooms. I think the so-called bathroom bill is a solution for a problem that barely existed, if at all. I also don’t like the federal government setting policy for local public school districts. Our government is a constitutionally-based democratic republic and the founding fathers (you know, all those slave owners) believed in federalism, which protected individual states from federal over-reach. If Donald Trump wins in November, it will have been because the political establishment in Washington has grown far too distant from its people (of which I am one). Hillary Clinton called Trump “dangerously incoherent, unprepared, and unfit.” Ouch! There are millions in America who might say the exact same thing about her. Remember months ago when the NY Daily News had Donald Trump on the front page looking like a clown with the headline “Dawn of the Brain Dead.” To the Daily News, the brain dead were Trump voters, but it is media outlets like the NY Daily News who are truly brain dead for not seeing why Trump keeps on growing stronger and stronger. Trump may not win but, in the end, he has changed the political conversation in this country for the better.

NEAD/New Health Drug Awareness Day

Mayor Walsh with all of the students from both the Eliot and St. John Schools.

Suffolk County Assistant D.A. Greg Henning.

L-R: Mary Wright, Traci Walker, John Romano, Mayor Martin Walsh, and Karen McLaughlin. North End Against Drugs in conjunction with North End Waterfront Health held a Drug Awareness Day at St. John School for 5 th to 8 th graders for students from both the St. John and the Eliot Schools. The program was an incredible partnership between NEAD, NEW Health, Boston Police, Suffolk County D.A’s Office, Suffolk County Probation, Mayor Walsh, St John School, and the Eliot School. There were approx 100 students along with about 15 teachers, a bunch of staff members from the Health Center, members of NEAD Board and volunteers, as well as various speakers including Mary Wright, Dr. Turnock, Area A-1 Boston Officer Teddy Boyle, Steven Siciliano (Suffolk County Probation - Head Probation Officer South Boston District Court), who grew up in the North End and worked at the Nazzaro Center when he was in school, Assistant District Attorney Greg Henning from Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, who grew up on Beacon Hill and played baseball in the NEAA programs for many years, two Undercover Drug Officers from the Area A-1 Drug Unit, Rep. Aaron Michlewitz, Brendan from the Mayor’s Office of Recovery Services. and Mayor Marty Walsh. We also had a 45-minute play from the Improbable Players, who were sponsored through a grant from the Boston Health Commission. The Improbable Players did a fabulous job. Their various skits depicting many issues related to alcohol and drug abuse and the associated consequences were fabulous. “The thing that impressed me the most was the interaction of the kids with the speakers, especially the actors from the Improbable Players and the Mayor,” stated NEAD President John Romano. With all the news of opioid problems and overdoses in our city and state, we felt that it

Having speakers who grew up in our neighborhoods and are great role models was very important. Each child was given a NEAD string backpack filled with drug information pamphlets, as well as chapstick and sunscreen with the NEAD name and logo on them. The theme for the day was that drugs and alcohol can cause you to make bad choices that can ruin your life and your family’s life. Each speaker reinforced that everyone that was part of the program that day was there to offer help to anyone who needs it. They provided information, gave examples both good and bad, and urged students to stay away from the dangers of drugs and alcohol and, most importantly, to work hard to accomplish their dreams and not let drugs and alcohol keep them from achieving their dreams. A special thanks to the principals of both schools, Karen McLaughlin and Traci Walker Griffith, who helped us pull this together, and also to all the volunteers who helped behind the scenes and during the day. We are already planning for next year’s event to be bigger and better.

THEATRE NOTES BY BOBBY FRANKLIN

Broadway’s Andrea McArdle to Star as Reno Sweeney in Ogunquit Playhouse Production of

Anything Goes

Andrea McArdle and company in Anything Goes. (Photo by Jeff Bellante) Ogunquit, ME — The Ogunquit Playhouse sets sail with the delightful, Tony Award-winning Anything Goes June 15th to July 9th. This splendid madcap musical comedy stars Broadway’s Andrea McArdle as Reno Sweeney and features two-time Emmy Award winner Sally Struthers as Evangeline Harcourt. This taphappy classic finds a brassy nightclub singer, a starry-eyed stowaway, and Public Enemy No. 13 booked on a transatlantic luxury liner bound for romance and hilarity. When the S.S. American heads out to sea, etiquette and convention get tossed out the portholes. Topping off the fun is Cole Porter’s delightful, delicious, De-Lovely first-class score that includes some of musical theatre’s greatest hits, including “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “You’re the Top,” and of course, “Anything Goes.” Anything Goes features music and lyrics by Cole Porter with original book by Guy Bolton, P.G. Wodehouse, Howard Lindsay, and Russel Crouse, and new book by Timothy Crouse and John Weidman. For ticket info, contact the Playhouse at: www.ogunquitplayhouse.org or call the Ogunquit Playhouse Box Office at 207-6465511.

Although his family moved away, he never forgot the North End and his beloved Saint Anthony’s Feast. Wherever he was stationed, Fr. Mike would return the weekend of the feast to celebrate Mass, carry Saint Anthony through the streets of the neighborhood he loved, and greet neighbors and friends with a smile during our daylong procession. Fr. Mike was taken from us at a young age. St. Anthony’s Club established this scholarship to honor his humble example.

Before Becoming a Dog Owner Learn about the responsibilities of dog ownership and determine if you are ready for a dog or puppy. Get specifics that can help you decide where and how to get a dog with the following valuable resources regarding breeders, adoption groups, and animal shelters. Discover what type of dog is best for you and understand why preserving the canine-human bond is so important. Getting a dog is more than just taking home the adorable little fur ball. Are you ready to get a dog? Here’s what you need to know before you get a dog. Choosing a puppy is something that should not be taken lightly or done on a whim as they require a longterm commitment. IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF Before going out and seeing puppies there are a few questions that you should ask yourself. Make sure to answer honestly so that you can be fully prepared to welcome a new family member. What is your energy level? If you are an active person, a higher energy dog may be a good fit. But if you are a couch potato, make sure to find a dog breed that also loves to curl up. Do you have kids? If you have kids, you will want to make sure that a puppy will be a good fit. If your kids are really young, it might not be the right time to get a puppy. But if they are older, it can be a great way to teach responsibility. Are there other pets in the home? If you have other dogs or cats in the house, you will want to make sure that they will get along with a puppy. How much space do you have? Although a puppy may take up a little bit of space initially, they grow — and fast. Not only that, they require a lot of stuff, including a dog crate, dog bed, toys, food dishes, leashes and more. So make sure that you have enough room for everything. What is the budget? The cost of owning a puppy may start out minimal, but can quickly add up over time. Make sure that you have enough money to effectively budget for puppy expenses, including food, toys, beds, vet bills, training, medications and more. What is your schedule like? If you have a very routine schedule where you are home around the same time every day, lookPRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN: (never known to fail) O most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me here You are my mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech You from the bottom of my heart to secure me in my necessity (make request). There are none who can withstand your power. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to Thee (3 times). Holy Mary, I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Say this prayer 3 consecutive days and then publish, and it will be granted to you. T.M.S.

ing after your puppy is much easier. Developing a schedule that doesn’t leave your puppy alone too long and includes time for daily walks can help you to positively bond with your dog. Do you have help? Having a person you can call to let your puppy out, feed them, or take them for a walk can really help out when you are unable to get home in time. WHERE TO FIND A PUPPY There are many different places to find a puppy, but doing your homework before you go out looking can help you to find the right puppy for you. Shelter Choose a local shelter so that you can visit a few times before adopting. Spend time getting to know the puppy. Don’t choose a puppy based on how cute it is. Pay close attention to the dog’s energy and body language. Ask the staff about the dogs you are interested in and, if they sound like a good match, take them for a walk. Once you have decided upon

a puppy, ask about its health, behavior, reason for being at the shelter and any other questions you may have. Breeder Get referrals from the American Kennel Club, local breeder associations, and veterinarians. Ask for contact information of other people who have adopted from the breeder. Ask about the dog’s ancestry. Check out the puppy’s living conditions. Look at the puppy’s temperament, behavior, and energy level. Obtain the proper papers, including vet check-ups and vaccination history. Places to Avoid Avoid online platforms and pet shops for buying a puppy, because these puppies often come from puppy mills exposing the puppies to health issues and deplorable conditions. Lots of luck as the saying goes “Do I need it? Or do I want it?” Keep in mind this is a big responsibility and it’s a commitment for the rest of your life. That’s all for now!

The Trustees of Reservation Host 125th Anniversary Celebration Gala

Tom French and his wife Jill French, with Curtis and Barbara Flight. The Trustees’ of Reservation hosted its 125 th Anniversary Celebration Gala at Appleton Farms in Ipswich on Saturday, May 21st, with over 500 guests from all over Massachusetts.

The Trustees is the oldest non-profit land preservation organization in the country, and Appleton Farms in Ipswich is the oldest continually operating farm in the country.

Andy Wainwright, Kate Enroth, Dana Schmaltz, and Leia Wainwright.

Many guests first met at North Station in Boston to board special trains (including 3 vintage 1940s & ’50s cars)to take them up to Ipswich. Upon arrival, the MBTA commuter rail had set up a special Appleton Farms train stop, allowing guests to disembark onto a boardwalk leading up to the Gala tents. The 125th Anniversary Gala celebrated The Trustees’ history as the world’s first land preservation organization, and paid tribute to the leaders and generous supporters who have helped to save and care for The Trustees’ inspired places. Founded in 1891 by landscape architect Charles Eliot, The Trustees is Massachusetts’ largest conservation and preservation organization with 116 scenic, natural, cultural and agricultural properties spanning over 27,000 acres around the Commonwealth, all open to the public.

Let’s Talk Headboards … A headboard in your bedroom deserves to have all the functionality and décor style of a piece of furniture. There are many ways to showcase a headboard. Designing in the North End has presented a few design challenges. Many spaces I design are restricted in size … I rather enjoy this challenge, it keeps me on my toes, so to speak! I love finding solutions that are a little unconventional. When I design bedrooms, naturally I consider the space, including the ceiling height. Ceilings are a direct contributor to feeling height and spaciousness in your bedroom. Lighting is also an important factor — natural light is a plus. Here are a few tips on getting a little unconventional in your bedroom décor and showcasing your headboard. You can install a fabric-covered wall behind your bed (the entire wall) and add bookcases or mirrors on each side. For another look try a drapery wall-to-wall. You can have a board cut to whatever size you’re comfortable with, have it upholstered and tufted depending on your style. You can climb your headboard to the ceiling for a truly dramatic look! Take a soft subtle fabric and create a wonderfully romantic look. For a rustic look, try barn board behind the bed. Take a simple iron headboard and paint it a dramatic color. (This is the ultimate in “adding a pop of color.”)

Socially Scene by Angela Cornacchio

Designer Lindsay Tia recently held a fashion show at Copperfield’s showcasing her “Bravery Brand” in honor of our armed services. (Photo by Angela Cornacchio) Socially Scene Reviewed … The organization Massachusetts Fallen Heroes recently held its first fashion show, featuring local designer Lindsay Tia and her “Bravery Brand” line, to benefit families of Fallen Hero families. The event took place on Tuesday, May 24th, at the Coppersmith Bar in South Boston. The South Boston pub was a perfect location, with its garage door walls opened to the waterfront breeze, the warehouse high ceilings, and the space to fit the masses that piled in for the show. The scene was set with American flags draped on the walls along with service nets, a Lindsay Tia pop-up shop, and three handsome U.S. Marines to escort the models through the event. The evening began with pride for all as local favorite “Scully” took the stage and sang “The Star Spangled Banner.” From there, the models took to the “runway.” Tia was showing her spring 2016 collection and her Bravery Brand-themed styles for the occasion. Each outfit was accessorized by Tia’s own merchandise and accompanied by an “LT”-branded handbag, which is her main focus. The line featured fun and flirty crop tops, flowing skirts, beach attire, and red, white & blue colors. The statement piece of the collection was an Army green parachute dress worn by bombshell model Sophie Weidhass. Tia personally did the stitching on the garment and, with the rip cord still attached, she stayed true to the original item. Tia felt it was a tribute to all the hard work our service troops and veterans have done for our country, as well as the sacrifices their families have made. The night was flawless, with production by Kathy Benharris

and her team, Grace Goodearl and Billie Francis. The Bravery Blog creator and Lasell College Fashion Merchandising graduate Lindsay Tia had every reason to take a bow. The night was a homerun for the Mass Fallen Heroes charity to which proceeds were donated. Lindsay Tia has her own boutique at 407 West 1st Street in South Boston. Her Americanmade and Boston-designed handbags are meant to inspire, encourage bravery, and empower others. Visit www.lindsaytia. com for more on this “Change the World One Bag at a Time” designer. Also, shop and get connected to her “Bravery Blog.” Become Your Own Film Maker … With the world at our fingertips, get your chance to expand your resume. On Saturday, June 18th, the Boston Center for Adult Education is shooting small and thinking big with its new class, “Smartphone Filmmaking.” Gone are the days where filmmaking requires expensive, hard-to-find equipment. Emmy award-winning instructors David Jacobs and Cameron Robbins will lead students through the day-long class where they’ll learn basic camera operation and compositional techniques before embarking on a neighborhood excursion to capture their own unique footage on their Smartphones. Upon returning to the BCAE, students will learn editing strategies using apps on their mobile devices, while Jacobs and Robbins share the best places to post their work and get discovered. Who knows? The next Steven Spielberg might only need a hand-held device! Don’t miss the opportunity to learn about an everyday accessory. The Boston Center for Adult Education is located at 122 Arlington Street

in Boston. Registration is necessary and can be done by visiting www.bcae.org or by calling 617267-4430. Miles Davis Remembered … On Tuesday, June 14th, you can sit and sip while listening to a tribute to the blues legend at the Beat Brasserie. Kick back and relax as you listen to Kind of Blue, the revolutionary Miles Davis/John Coltrane album live! Two of Boston’s most expressive horn players, Phil Grenadier and George Garzone, will take the stage for a unique interpretation of the album, while Beat’s kitchen serves up one of Davis’ favorite dishes, “South Side Chicago Chili Mack,” all evening long. A self-taught home cook, Miles Davis opens up about his love for cooking in his autobiography, which will be available that evening. “I had gotten into cooking. I just loved food and hated going out to restaurants all the time, so I taught myself how to cook by reading books and practicing, just like you do on an instrument. I could cook most of the great French dishes — because I really liked French cooking — and all the black American dishes. But my favorite was a chili dish I called Miles’ South Side Chicago Chili Mack. I served it with spaghetti, grated cheese, and oyster crackers,” said Davis. In addition to serving up Miles’

The Beat Brasserie will have a night of food and cocktails with live music on June 14th to honor legend Miles Davis. (Photo by blogs.amctv.com) famous Chili Mack, the expert bar staff will be shaking up the Kind of Blue cocktail made with Damrak gin, grapefruit, lavender and soda. While you channel the late, great musician through food and drink, Grenadier and Garzone will perform a soulful jam session dedicated to his best-selling album of all time. Boston-based Grenadier has made sideman appearances on albums by Bob Belden, Owen Howard, Harvey Wainapel, Bob Nieske, and Melissa Kassel, while Garzone, a frequent guest performer, has toured Europe with Jamaaladeen Tacuma and performed with musicians Danilo Perez, Joe Lovano, Jack

DeJohnette, Rachel Z, and John Patitucci among others. Don’t miss this iconic evening dedicated to the sounds and tastes of one of the greatest artists that ever lived. The Beat Brasserie is located at 13 Brattle Street, Cambridge and can be reached at 617-499-0001 for reservations. For more information, please visit www.beatbrasserie.com. Lot F Gallery … This summer, Lot F Gallery is excited to host Melange, a group exhibition with four emerging, local artists. Running through July 29th, the showing will feature Allison Bamcat, Elizabeth Kirby Sullivan, Nineta, and Tess Barbato. Each artist has assembled new works, and was given free rein to explore what they are most excited about creating currently. Allison Bamcat is a contemporary illustrator from Boston. Bamcat creates lumpy props and characters suspended in a candy-coated universe, with sentient-stuffed animals and anthropomorphic ghosts making up the general population. The fine craft of her paintings collides with her concentration in product surface design, resulting in an array of bouncing conversational repeat prints and handmade soft goods. She resides outside of Boston with her husband and two cats. She (Continued on Page 13)

The series follows kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars and noblemen, who are engaged in a deadly cat-and-mouse game for control of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. The epic

Living off the grid and above the law on their mountain homestead, they’ll defend their way of life using any means necessary. But these fiercely insular clans are about to face the gravest threats they have ever known, not only from the outside world, but from within their own ranks. Asa Farrell, the “black sheep” who dared leave the mountain in a vain attempt at a normal life, must now try to preserve the volatile community he tried so hard to escape.

FATHER JOE’S 25TH ANNIVERSARY Dorchester’s own Father Joe White will be celebrating his 25th anniversary in the priesthood this month. When he was pastor of St. Vincent de Paul in Southie, he was always known as “Father Joe.” He will be celebrating a Mass of Thanksgiving for this milestone at his new assignment over at St. Joseph’s Church in the West End on Saturday, June 25th at 4:00 pm. A reception will follow. BOSTON NEEDS AN ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD AGAIN I was watching BNN-TV, and on the screen was a recent meeting of the Boston City Council’s Education Committee chaired by City Councilor Tito Jackson. The subject of the meeting was the amount of lead found in many of Boston’s public schools water fountains. Being quizzed was Dr. Tommy Chang, superintendent of the Boston Public Schools, who stated that as of April 2016, only a few water fountains in a handful of school buildings still contained too much lead. Jackson kept asking the superintendent, wouldn’t it be wise to shut down all the drinking fountains in all the schools until all the systems were guaranteed safe drinking water for students? Dr. Chang thought that was unwise, since the water is safe in all but a few locations. Dr. Chang was trying to find practical remedies, and it appears Jackson was trying to find a political solution, but his argument held no water (pardon the pun). Jackson says he wants to rebuild trust with parents, but if you shut down all the fountains in schools across the city, it will not reduce suspicion and distrust, but actually increase it. Dr. Chang gets that, but apparently not Jackson. In a perfect world, if there were a perfect world, the job of ensuring our students aren’t drinking Flint-like water would belong to our current School Committee. They should be the panel investigating this issue. However, the appointed board is pretty much powerless. I say, bring back an elected school committee and stop making the City Council’s Education Committee a pseudoschool committee. BAY STATE RANKS 49TH IN FISCAL SOLVENCY STUDY According to the author of a George Mason University study, Massachusetts ranks a dismal 49th for fiscal solvency ahead of nearby Connecticut and Puerto Rico. Yes, I said PUERTO RICO. Eileen Norcross, who authored the study, said Massachusetts is “walking on the same road as Puerto Rico.” We spend more than we take in. Our rainy day fund is full of drizzle. Our unfunded liabilities, like pensions and health care spending, grow bigger and bigger. We borrow too much to fund projects. This study should be a wake-up call to our governor and legislators on Beacon Hill.

Gov. Charlie Baker isn’t buying the study’s results. He seems to think everything is just as fine as fine can be. Our economy is doing super, according to him. If everything was so peachy, why are we number 49 out of 50 states and on the road to Puerto Rico? Just saying. BUNKER HILL DAY CHIEF MARSHAL’S BANQUET This year’s Bunker Hill Day Parade is being held on Sunday, June 12th. However, one should not forget the Chief Marshal’s Banquet honoring Chief Marshal Danny Noonan. It will be held on Friday, June 10th at the Knights of Columbus #62, 545 Medford Street, Charlestown, with DJ Smokey Cain providing all the entertainment needed for this joyous evening. For tickets, contact Kathleen Noonan at 617-201-1673, or Doc Sheehan at 617-242-0180. BIG NEWS FOR EAST BOSTON According to Mayor Marty Walsh, East Boston is about to get a great revamped park with things like restaurants, a public pool, and kayaking, as city officials unveiled this great green space at the East Boston waterfront on June 3rd. There was a large crowd at LoPresti Park to hear from the mayor and other local elected officials. Said the mayor, “This beautiful park that we have here today is really incredible and I want to thank parks and recreation and all the partners who made an investment here.” City Councilor Sal LaMattina added there will be more to come along in this part of the waterfront. Reporters did ask the mayor about the effects of gentrification on the neighborhood. He said he was concerned about residents being priced out of their community and added, “We are doing our best to try and combat some of the escalating pricing here.” LoPresti Park was created by Mayor Kevin H. White back in 1978, and is named after Michael LoPresti Sr. and Michael LoPresti Jr., who both served in the State Senate. WORK INC. CELEBRATES ANNUAL AWARDS NIGHT/ CLAM BAKE Keep this date open. Work Inc. of Dorchester will be holding its annual Awards Night and a Clam Bake on Thursday, June 23rd at 6:00 pm at Carson Place, 180 Mount Vernon Street, in Dorchester. For tickets, call Sue at 617-691-1516. LET’S HEAR IT FOR AL VELLUCCI’’S GRANDSON New Hampshire’s Al Baldasaro recently gave it to the antiTrump liberal media last week. He is a five-term state rep from Londonderry and a 22-year retired Marine first sergeant. He lashed out at the media at a Trump Tower event in Manhattan saying among other things, “Donald Trump is doing this from the heart.” Trump has called Al “the king of the vets.” Al was born and raised in Cambridge and is a grandson of Al Vellucci, who served four terms as Cambridge mayor. I leave you with this great

quote from Baldasaro delivered to the media in the audience, “I think the liberal media — and I’ve been dealing with you for a long time — need to get your head out of your butt.” DAV 5K ROAD RACE ANNOUNCEMENT Recently, the DAV 5K Road Race held its kick-off announcement at the Phillips Freeport Tavern. This race is held in honor of our veterans and helps support programs that go directly to veterans in need. The race will be held on Saturday, November 12th, starting at Castle Island. For more information, contact Bobby Lynch, DAV public relations at 617922-0284. FIFTY SCHOOL COMMITTEES OPPOSE CHARTER SCHOOL EXPANSION At least 50 school committees statewide have come out swinging against the plan to allow more and more charter schools, says the Massachusetts Teachers Association. Officials from as close as Revere, and as far away as Greenfield, have penned letters to Beacon Hill legislators and media outlets. These folks are working hard to get a moratorium on opening more charters. Opponents say charter schools will drain money from traditional public schools and they fear the possibility of charters hiring bad teachers. One Wareham school board member said charter schools are “blood-sucking” from public school students. Glenn Koocher, executive director of the Massachusetts Association of School Committees, tells anyone in hearing distance that “Educators are enraged.” There is a move to oppose a proposed ballot question that would lift the state-imposed cap on charters. SENATE PASSES BILL TO BAN PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS The State Senate recently passed a budget bill that would ban plastic shopping bags. They want it to happen as early as this summer. This legislation, if it becomes law, would ban plastic bags at all retail locations that are 3,000-square-feet or larger. Green advocates hailed the bill passed with bipartisan support. Everyone wants the state to be environmentally friendly, but I have seen this bill in action down in the City of Austin, TX. If you don’t bring your own shopping bags to the supermarket, you have to buy them at 10 cents apiece. How is it working out down there? Whenever I am down there, I travel out of city limits where I can still get free plastic bags when I shop. Bottom line, supermarkets inside city limits are getting hurt by shoppers traveling a few miles down Route 620 for free bags. Pass a statewide law here and folks at the Rhode Island and New Hampshire borders will be crossing over the border for their retail shopping. Grocery bills will go up and business will go down. Stop this plastic madness.

JIMMY BUFFETT & THE CORAL REEFER BAND — August 20, 2016. Singer, songwriter, author, actor, and businessman Jimmy Buffett has been a staple on the American concert circuit since the early 1970s. Known for his anecdotal songs about a laid-back life on the beach, Buffett has described his music as “drunken Caribbean rock ‘n’ roll,” or Gulf-and-Western, as it has been dubbed by others. Buffett moved to Nashville in the late 1960s with the dream of becoming a country singer, and he released his debut album in 1970. After his first marriage fell apart, he left Nashville for Key West and it was there that he developed the easy-going beach-bum persona that he has become known for. With 28 studio albums under his belt, and sell-out shows year after year, it’s no wonder that Buffett has amassed a large and incredibly loyal following known as “Parrot Heads.” Buf-

Othello, a uniquely powerful coffeehouse opera, tells an age-old story of passionate love and murderous jealousy. Sümbül, a Black slave in 17th century Ottoman Court, rises to power and riches, only to come to a tragic end. The opera is performed on European period instruments and traditional Turkish instruments by an ensemble of 12 musicians, singers and a storyteller. The storyteller spins out a well-known tale, a historically-based legend of love and jealousy, intensified by the crossing of boundaries between the free and the enslaved, white and black, Muslim and non-Muslim, East and West. The opera intertwines three different tales, including The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice by William Shakespeare, Un Capitano Moro (A Moorish Captain) by Giovanbattista Giraldi (Cinzio), and Kızlarağası’nın Piçi (The Bastard of the Chief Black Eunuch) by Reşad Ekrem Koçu.

Currently featuring the talents of George Grove, Bill Zorn, and Rick Dougherty, the Trio will perform beloved hits like “M.T.A,” “Worried Man,” “Greenback Dollar,” and “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” among many other favorites. This summer, the Trio will be the subject of a high profile PBS special titled The Kingston Trio: An AllStar Celebration. WANG THEATER Citi Performing Arts Center 270 Tremont Street Boston, MA 800-982-2798 www.CitiCenter.org STEVEN TYLER ... Out on a Limb — September 4, 2016.

Aerosmith’s frontman Out on a Limb Tour will feature Tyler and backing band Loving Mary reworking some of his most famous hits and sharing the stories behind them; he’ll also weave in songs from his upcoming country project. Tyler’s plans for a solo country career began swirling back in March of 2015. That April, he officially announced his signing with Big Machine Label Group’s Dot Records. He released his first country single, “Love is Your Name,” last May. With his second country song, “Red, White & You,” Tyler proves he already has a solid grip on the genre, proclaiming his love for America, America, and the midnight sky. “When I look in your eyes, all I wanna do is/Bang, bang, baby like the 4th of July,” Tyler sings before shouting out Tom Petty, and sweet potato pie, and in September, Tyler is hoping to debut a full album.

COMEDY IMPROVBOSTON 40 Prospect Street, Cambridge, MA 617-576-1253 www.ImprovBoston.com MAGIC: THE GATHERING: THE SHOW Takes Nerd Comedy to a New Level — June 10, July 8, August 12, 2016. An improvised, interactive parody tribute to the iconic nerdcore card game, Magic: The Gathering — has been capturing the hearts and imaginations of nerds and comedy lovers alike since 2011.

CAPITOL CENTER FOR THE ARTS 44 South Main Street, Concord, NH 603-225-1111 www.CCANH.com EDDIE IZZARD Force Majeure — July 31, 2016. The British comedian is often lauded as one of the world’s most influential comics of the last 20 years, so any chance to see him in his original guise, doing stand-up, live, should be grasped with both hands, and possibly your legs, too! Izzard is a man of many talents; not content winning two Emmy Awards for his Dressed to Kill show, and a movie actor (Valkyrie, Ocean’s Twelve, and Ocean’s Thirteen), he is also a keen learner of languages, having performed his entire Paris gig in French, and his Berlin show in German throughout. According to his team, he is planning on learning and performing his shows in Spanish, Russian and Arabic, too.

WILBUR THEATRE 246 Tremont Street, Boston, MA 617-248-9700 www.TheWilburTheatre.com BILL MAHER — August 27, 2016.

His combination of unflinching honesty and blunt obersations have earned him a staggering 23 Emmy nominations, and a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Particularly known for his hugely critical views on religion, Maher’s humor squares to the left of center, and has more often than not set his crosshairs on the right-wing political movement (particularly the Tea Party), and shows a vociferous support for universal health care, same-sex marriage and environmentalism. However, since the events of 9/11, he has supported racial profiling at transport hubs, and is a supporter of gun rights. As well as his long-running television panel show

Real Time with Bill Maher, he is still a keen participant on the political comedy circuit, often performing over 60 dates per year.

Parla Come Mangi! (Speak as You Eat!) Ready for this? An Israeli man requested a restraining order against God, saying that he’s fed up with the Almighty interfering in his life. David Shoshan told a court in Haifa that God “started to treat me harshly and not nicely” three years ago, and calls to the police had not put an end to the harassment. Judge Ahsan Canaan denied the request for a restraining order, saying Shoshan needed the kind of help the court could not provide. God did not present himself at the hearing. Mother Superior Frances Fitzgerald reminds us, our Lord is in the cleaning business not the whitewashing business. Nearly half of both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton supporters say their primary motivation isn’t putting their preferred candidates in the White House — it’s keeping the other one out of it! Preventing Clinton from winning is the main draw for 47 percent of likely Trump voters. Stopping Trump motivates 46 percent of likely Clinton voters. 57 percent of Americans oppose laws that allow transgender people to use public bathrooms corresponding to their birth gender, rather than the gender with which they identify. 38 percent support such laws. The benefits of calorie cutting! Even if you’re not seriously overweight, there‘s a lot to be gained by cutting back on calories, including sounder sleep, a better sex life, and more overall happiness, new research suggests. On the popular reality TV series The Biggest Loser, obese people quickly shed 100 or more pounds through grueling workouts and drastic diets. New research reveals, however, that the show’s approach does not keep the pounds off long-term, because obese people’s bodies fight to regain the lost weight. Deadly medical mistakes! Medical errors in hospitals and other health care facilities are now the third leading cause of death in the United States, claiming more lives each year than respiratory disease, accidents, strokes, and Alzheimer’s disease. After analyzing four large studies investigating death rates, researchers at Johns Hopkins University calculated that mistakes ranging from undetected complications to medication mix-ups are responsible for more than 250,000 deaths a year. “It boils down to people dying from the care that they receive rather than the disease for which they are seeking care,” study leader Martin Makary tells The Washington Post. The researchers argue that federal mandates should be revised to require doctors to disclose medical errors that resulted in a preventable death. “When a plane crashes, we don’t say this is confidential proprietary information,” Makary says. “We consider this part of public safety. Hospitals should be held to the same standards.” It was Bella Culo of Chestnut Hill who said hospital costs are high, but where else can you get breakfast in bed? Believe it was the great Steven Sebestyen who once stated a hospital should have a recovery room adjoining the cashier’s office. Steven’s brilliant and beautiful wife, Theresa, says, any patient can tell you that a hospital bed is the closest thing to a parked taxi with the meter running. Carlo Scostumato says, these days they carry you into a hospital “fee first.” Two British anglers have honored their late fishing buddy by turning his ashes into bait — and using it to catch a 180-pound carp. Ron Hopper, 64, died of cancer before he could go on a longplanned fishing trip to Thailand with friends Paul Fairbrass and Cliff Dale. But on his deathbed, Hopper urged his pals to mix his ashes with their bait. Fairbrass and Dale did just that and reeled in a record-breaking Siamese carp while in Thailand. “It’s what he would have wanted,” Fairbrass said. A Brooklyn man is nursing a black eye after a stranger punched him because of his striking resemblance to eccentric actor Shia LaBeouf. Mario Licato, 26, had just gotten off a subway train when the unknown LaBeouf-hater knocked him to the floor. “All I heard him say was, ‘ This is because you look like Shia LaBeouf!’ ” Licato said. “Then he ran away.” After the attack was reported, LaBeouf (the target of much online hate) phoned Licato to offer his condolences. “He was like, “Aw, man. I’m so sorry. But I get it. It’s happened to me before.’”

Dublin has become a battleground, said the Irish Independent. “Ruthless gangs, armed to the teeth and ready to take a life without question,” have brazenly shot five people since February — including one innocent father of three, who was killed in a drive-by shooting in a case of mistaken identity. One gang member was shot three times, including once in the head, while drinking at a pub. Another was gunned down during a weigh-in at a boxing match, when thugs dressed as police burst in and opened fire. The warring parties are the Kinahans and the Hutches, once allied family gangs. Teen birth rates have fallen to an all-time low, plunging 61 percent since 1991 — partly because of access to reliable birth control, and partly because teenagers are having less sex. The percentage of teenage females who are sexually active declined from 52 percent in 1988 to 43 percent in the period 2006-2010. 44 percent of Americans say they personally know someone who has been addicted to prescription painkillers. 66 percent think the federal government isn’t doing enough to combat painkiller abuse. Ouch! Suicide rates in the U.S. have hit a 30-year high, surging 24 percent in just 15 years, according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics. Since 1999, the suicide rate increased about 1 percent each year before accelerating to 2 percent annually from 2006 to 2014. Suicides increased among men and women in virtually all age groups, The New York Times reports, with sociologists speculating that the economic troubles of the working-class and increased “social isolation” due to family breakdown and divorce were playing a role. But the sharpest rise in suicide rates was among young girls. The federal report reveals that 150 girls between 10 and 14 years old committed suicide in 2014 alone — a 200 percent surge in that age group since 1999. Teenagers haven’t changed very much. They still grow up, leave home, and get married. The big difference is that today they don’t always do it in that order. A majority of American parents still believe spanking is an effective way to discipline children, but a new study has found physical discipline actually makes children more defiant and more likely to have later alcohol, drug, and mental health problems. On this date, June 10th, Judy Garland, singer and film actress, was born in 1922. Judy Garland is resting her chops at Ferncliff Cemetery, Hartsdale, New York. Also on this date in 1967, Spencer Tracy, film actor, passed away. Spencer Tracy is at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, California. Also there is actor Robert Taylor. A reminder from our musicologist Al Natale! From 1956 to 1958 there were more ItalianAmerican singers on the Billboard charts than any time before or since. Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Vic Damone/Vito Farinolo, Frankie Lane/ Francesco Paolo LaVecchio, Mario Lanza, Tony Bennett/Anthony Benedetto, Enrico Caruso, Russ Columbo, Louis Prima, Al Martino, Dean Martin/Dino Paul Crocetti, Joni James/Joan Carmella Babbo, Julius LaRosa, Lou Monte, Don Cornell/Luigi Varlaro, Johnny Desmond/ Giovanni Alfredo De Simone, and Bobby Darin/ Walden Robert Cassotto. Popular Italian songs: “That’s Amore,” “Volare,” “Mama,” “Mala Femmina,” “Eh Compare,” and, of course, “Vivin’ O Mare, faciammo amore.” So where do you find many Italian-Americans? New York leads them all, followed by California, New Jersey, Florida, and Pennsylvania. Massachusetts has close to a million Italian-Americans. And, of course, many of them read the PostGazette. You will not find many paesane in Alaska, Missouri, and North or South Dakota. Surprise! When I was a guest speaker in Billings, Montana, I learned that there were 28,031 Italian-Americans residing in Montana. Well, no matter where you go, you will find ItalianAmericans! Arrivederci! AMERICA IS A BEAUTIFUL ITALIA NAME

by Alessandra Sambiase

Benvenuti! Molise is an absolutely luscious green gem of the South whose verdant beauty beckons one to the outdoors — from the mountains through the plains to the seaside. The shore stretches for 38 km along a beautiful Adriatic coastline characterized by low beaches and wide plains. One of the oldest and most beautiful seaside towns of Molise is Termoli. The Town of Termoli, with its fortifications, fishing port, and beautiful beach resorts, has been a summer destination since the time of the ancient Romans. Its characteristic trabucchi are very distinctive traditional wooden structures built for fishing. Trabucchi consist of a wooden platform anchored to the rocky coast from which a long wooden bridge above water stretches out to support a large net for the purpose of fishing without boats. A short ferry ride from Termoli today are the ancient Isole Tremiti — an archipelago of five beautiful islands known for their clear waters and stunning rocky formations. As the Spring gives way to the Summer, Molise’s wedding season flourishes. Weddings are celebrated as full day-long affairs in this region. Whether a lavish event overlooking the sea or a classic celebration set within the intricate 15th-century streets of Campobasso with the magnificent Monforte Castle in the background, Molise’s wedding are celebrated in great style. Part of the local history of Molise is the traditional clothing which the status of “married woman” was one time expressed, with special ornamentation that varied from town to town. In the town of Baranello, near Campobasso, married women wore five red ribbons of silk on the edge of the skirt and the headpiece would be adorned with one decorative hair pin for each year of marriage. It goes without saying that a new bride should be knowledgeable in the art of receiving guests, as hosting is an important part of our Italian culture. A gracious host should also know how to prepare amaretti, one of Molise’s traditional desserts. These light, crisp and crumbly almond cookies are usually served with coffee or tea, or with a glass of nocino. In the area near Campobasso, this dark and intense liquor is traditionally made with walnuts harvested on June 24th, Saint John Baptist’s Day.

Amaretti 10 oz skinless almonds 3 egg whites, beaten 1 ¼ cup sugar

Almond extract Vanilla extract

Preparation: Grind the almonds to a flour consistency. Stir in the sugar, a few drops of almond and vanilla extract and the beaten egg whites. Mix all of the ingredients well. Form little balls and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and let the amaretti sit for another 10 minutes with the oven door open. Serve at room temperature.

• Socially Scene (Continued from Page 9)

Last week, I left off with the story of a vacation in Italy. Sal Meli and I drove to Messina, toured the city, and decided to head for Taormina before sailing to the mainland. Taormina and Messina were ancient cities, settled by Greek colonists before there was a Rome. After checking into the Hotel Jolly, we walked to the center of Messina and stopped at a trattoria suggested by someone at the hotel. After dinner, we sat at an outside café and became people-watchers. A group of about four guys roughly our age sat at a nearby table and were discussing New York. One of them had visited the U.S. and was lecturing the rest about the good points and the bad points he discovered while on his trip. Somehow, we wound up in the middle of their conversation, and when they found out we were American, they had dozens of questions to ask us. When the sidewalk café was ready to close, we all headed for a coffee bar that was nearby and Sal and I told them about Boston. Soon, two of the four locals had to head home as they were bakers and would have to get up about 4:00 am. The other two happened to be brothers who owned their own garage. When it was time for us to leave, the two brothers offered us a ride back to the hotel. En route, they brought us to various parts of Messina and gave us a verbal history that we found fascinating. Tour guides couldn’t have done better. They showed us the commercial and military seaport sections of the waterfront, and then headed for the wineries that dotted the immediate suburbs and then to the groves where the locals grew olives, lemons, and oranges. When we neared the lemon and orange groves, you could smell the sweet fragrance given off by the trees. I loved it. Soon, it was time for them to head home and they dropped us off at the hotel, but not before pointing out a gas station less than a block away from the Jolly. The next morning, we checked out of the hotel, filled the tank and headed for Taormina. Taormina is south of Messina and we knew that we should have stopped there en route north, but we didn’t. Sal knew that Taormina had been a resort town since the days when Sicily was a colony of ancient Greece. When we arrived there, we found out why it had been a resort city for centuries. It was built on a high plateau overlooking the bay of Messina and the view was magnificent. I became curious about something as we drove the road that

led us to the center of the town. There were about six Protestant churches that we passed. I knew that maybe five to ten percent of the Italian population was not Catholic, but most who were not lived in the north of Italy, not Sicily. Sicilians were virtually all Roman Catholic. Once we stopped, I discovered the reason … most of the tourists who stayed in Taormina were English and Scottish, and over the years, had built their own churches. We met several vacationers as we walked through the center of town, and sure enough, they were from the British Isles. I kept checking my watch, as we had to be back in Messina by 6:00 pm. I had a ticket to take the car on the ferry that travels the Straights of Messina from Messina to Reggio, Calabria, the toe of the Italian boot. After I drove the descending road that led from Taormina to the main highway that was parallel to the east coast of Sicily, I looked for signs that would indicate the direction back to Messina. There were none. I had an idea on which way to head, but I wanted to make sure. Just then, a diminutive man who looked ancient crossed in front of our yellow fiat. In Italian, I yelled out, “Excuse me, sir, which direction should I head to go to Messina, left or right?” The old man quickly yelled back, “Sempre diretto, no gira.” (Straight ahead, don’t turn). I had heard this many times throughout Sicily when we had asked for directions. It seemed to be the standard answer given to travelers or tourists by the island’s population. To prove that Sicilians have a funny side to them, listen to the following … The man repeated himself, “Sempre diretto, no gira.” I yelled back in Italian, “But sir, the ocean is in front of me.” (Ma Signore, gia sta la mar a la) He yelled back, “Sir, can you swim?” (Signore, puo nadare) I yelled back, “Si,” (Yes) and he yelled back, “Sempre diretto, no gira,” and then walked away. After a couple of minutes of laughing, I took a left. I figured that to head north to Messina, the ocean had to be to my right seeing as we were on the east coast of the island … I was right. We arrived back at Messina just in time to find the dock where the ferry would leave from. As we waited our turn to bring the car on a designated deck, I noticed that the bottom deck held box cars that could be reattached to a train once we docked. A ramp then ascended to the above decks where cars and trucks could be stored for the short ride to the mainland. The whole thing fascinated me,

but after we sailed, the smell of food got the best of me. We found the ferry’s cafeteria, and I ordered two arancini (rice balls filled with cheese and meat). They were the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried them at some of the finest restaurants in Italy and America. We found a pensione in Reggio and checked in. There wasn’t much to do or see in that port city, but the next day we drove around looking at Roman ruins. I needed a telephone and headed for the local phone company. A friend from Watertown had returned to his birth place in Calabria and we had made plans to tie up when Sal and I made it to the mainland. His birthplace was a small town called Andeli, located just outside of Catanzaro, the capital of the Province of Calabria. The phone number he had given me was his aunt’s, and I had Sal call, seeing he knew how to use an Italian phone. When someone answered, I told him to ask for Umberto. When Umberto picked up the phone, I said hello and accepted his invitation to visit. He told me that he would meet me in the town square at 4:00 pm, and we hung up. I miscalculated the distance converting miles into kilometers in my head and, as a result, we arrived at about 5:30 pm or so. My friend, Albert (Umberto) was nowhere to be found. I saw a group of men standing in front of the fountain which was located in center of the town’s only piazza. Sal yelled out, “Scuzzi” (excuse me). The man in the middle of the small group was dressed with a suit and tie, and had a three-striped band (red, white, and green) going from his left shoulder across his chest to his waist. He looked us up and down and asked if we were the Americans. When Sal said that we were, he started yelling in Italian, “The Americans are here, the Americans are here.” We didn’t look like typical Americans to him, and I will explain this next week … GOD BLESS AMERICA

After a decade of bouncing around different cities, and earning her BFA from Pratt Institute in 2010, Elizabeth Kirby Sullivan and her husband, artist Jamie O’Neill, live in Gloucester, in their home state of Massachusetts. Drawn to the dichotomy of a city known for hard-scrabble fishermen and high-minded artists, her inner history nerd is satiated by the varied and intriguing culture there. Her painting work deals with the marriage of her graffiti background with her fine art training, focusing on the abstraction of the written language. Elizabeth’s new deer series focuses on the experience of anxiety and tension through the eyes of wild animals. Created in Barcelona with a mix of love, frustration, desire, street art, collages, and a Sharpie, Nineta has been filling the Catalan street art scene with her fantasy friends for years. The international work she has created increased after putting her touch on the U.S. and Europe while living in Berlin and Boston. Nineta’s drawings and object sculptures are a bolder mixed media of inks, enamel, and spray paint. Nineta enjoys working collaboratively and has painted many murals on the streets and gallery walls throughout the years. Tess Barbato is an American realist oil painter whose work is conceptually driven and possesses a larger than life vision, creating incredibly detailed portrayals of the most mundane of objects. She inherited her artistic sensibility from a long line of family artists and graduated Summa Cum Laude in Fine Arts from Plymouth State University. Her lifelong struggle with dyslexia compelled her to use art as her preferred means of communication. An artist with something to say, she is a master of delivery in the form of wry paradox. Tess’s paintings have been accepted for numerous juried exhibitions and have accumulated several awards and honors. Currently, she has a studio in Framingham. Melange will be on display through July 29th at Lot F Gallery located at 145 Pearl Street, Floor 4, in Boston. All are welcome to the opening reception on Thursday, June 9 th from 6 – 10 pm.

Celebrate all things spicy and hot at the Boston JerkFest, listed by Zagat as one of the city’s

top 10 summer food events. The flavorful fun takes place at the Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology and includes a food festival featuring authentic Caribbean and Jamaican cuisine made with hot jerk spices, and a “Spice Lane” with zesty desserts, jams and hot sauces. You will have the opportunity to stroll through the indooroutdoor space, sampling eats from some of the area’s best food purveyors, buying spices to recreate the dishes at home, and watching cocktail demos and chefs demonstrating their best recipes. For the little ones, there are interactive arts and crafts in the Kids Culture Zone. And for all who love to dance, dozens of live music acts will be playing reggae, steel drums and more. Just in case you were curious, Jamaican jerk spice is a complex hot and spicy seasoning that is either wet or dry and used as a rub to marinate and cook various types of meats. Jamaican Scotch Bonnet Pepper, the main ingredient responsible for the heat in the spice, is one of the hottest chili peppers in the world. Other ingredients include allspice and a variety of Caribbean spices. Jerk is also a cooking technique applied to many different types of food, mainly meats. The process of jerking is similar to barbecuing and is often done over an open flame. In Jamaica, the best jerk food is barbequed in a fire pit underground. Jamaican jerk spice is said to have African roots. The spice and technique was perfected by Africans who settled in Boston Beach in the parish of Portland, Jamaica, where today an annual festival celebrates authentic jerk. The Boston Jerkfest will pay homage to Boston and Jamaica, the home of real Jamaican jerk! The Boston JerkFest is an outdoor/indoor family-friendly Caribbean style foodie festival that features Jamaican jerk spiced food and all things spicy and hot.

One-time classic liberalism, aka Jeffersonian Democracy, exalted tolerance and debate, remembering what has been attributed to Voltaire, “I disapprove of what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” However, today on college campuses across America, that quote appears to have been updated to say, “I disapprove of what you say, so just shut up.” College students wish to create shade spaces where they can be protected from hearing speech they disapprove of. Exactly, the opposite of what a campus should tolerate. Free speech is free if you can’t speak it, is it? Time for many of these so-called progressive college students to stop trying to yell down speech they disapprove of and time to listen to both sides. They might even learn something in the process. Rise of Trump and Fascism I read an interesting news story in last Sunday’s NY Times written by Peter Baker. He wrote on a provocative analogy recently made by former Gov. Bill Weld in which he equated Trump’s immigration policy with Kristallnacht, the night of horror in 1938 when Nazis smashed Jewish homes and businesses in Germany and killed scores of Jews. According to the reporter, Trump’s campaign has energized debate about the nature of his appeal and the potential rise of fascism.

These are unfair criticisms from both the left and right, tarring Trump and his supporters as some kind of evil worthy of stopping, like Black Lives Matter, La Raza and the Sandernistas preventing Trump rallies from being held.

Terry McAuliffe’s move to restore voting rights to over 200 thousand felons triggered created a legal and political battle in this swing state. Republicans are saying the governor acted unconstitutionally. On April 22nd, the governor issued an executive order granting convicted felons the right to vote again once they serve their sentences and complete parole and probation. The Virginia House of Delegates Speaker Bill Howell and the Senate Majority Leader Tom Norment, both Republicans, have filings with the Supreme Court of Virginia arguing that the governor can restore individuals’ voting rights, but under the state constitution cannot issue a blanket restoration for all felons. While I believe the governor’s move had more to do with politics and the Democratic Party, I do believe that once someone has served his time behind bars and finished his or her parole of probation, all then should get their voting rights back.

I think our Founding Fathers would have supported the position that the governor took and the position I support. This state supreme court filing move is mostly a lose-lose situation for Republicans, and a waste of time and energy. Leonardo Full of DiCraprio Poor little rich kid, poor little rich kid.

Muhammad Ali, R.I.P. When Cassius Clay came on the boxing scene in the early ’60s after winning a gold medal in the 1960 Olympics as a light heavyweight, he instantly made news. Much of it was negative due to his sharp personality. When he changed his name to Muhammad Ali after converting to Islam, his relationship with much of the public only soured more. To most folks, it seemed he was just a loudmouth, a braggart messing around with the public. He became the World Heavyweight Champion in 1964, at age 22, by beating Sonny Liston, who looked like an old man in the ring against him. My favorite boxer back then was former twice Heavyweight Champion Floyd Patterson, a likeable boxer in and out of the ring. However, over time, as both Ali and the rest of us aged, most of us came to see he was indeed the greatest boxer of his generation. I hated it when he said, “I am the greatest.” However, now I can say he was the greatest. There will never be another Muhammad Ali. He did make lots of folks mad at him, but he was great in the ring. What was surprising is how boxing in the end messed up his head so badly. Back when he was young, he seemed so fast, and did not get hit so much, but over time, the damage from all those hits to his head messed him up just like it did Joe Louis. The Buch Stops Here, Right? Thursday, May 26th, Clay Buchholz did it again. Normally, he’s good for five earned runs, but on this night, he improved to six earned runs. He just isn’t really cutting it thus far. Currently, it may change by the time you read this, but Clay is 2-5 with an amazing 6.35 ERA. Cy Young, this pitcher is not.

Remember Rick Aguilera? Who doesn’t remember Game 6 of the 1986 World Series when the Red Sox went this close to winning the World Series in six games? Rick Aguilera was on the mound in the 10th inning when he gave up a tie-breaking home run to Dave Henderson, and an RBI single to Marty Barrett. The Mets were down two runs with only three outs left in the season. Aguilera was only 24 years old then and in his second season. He was 10-7 with a 3.88 ERA as the Mets fifth starter. Sadly, we all know what happened in Game 6 when Bill Buckner couldn’t get that rolling ball. We lost Game 6 and then Game 7, too. Game 6 is where the birth of the Curse of the Bambino was born. The tears of the Mets fans quickly turned into cheers. Aguilera should have been the scapegoat in Game 6 of the World Series, but that honor went to Bill Buckner. Recently, the 1986 Red Sox team was honored on its 30th anniversary. Meanwhile, down in New York, they are celebrating the memory of the NY Mets “come from behind World Series” championship team. In the 16-inning Game 6 NLCS Series, Aguilera pitched three scoreless innings. He was traded to the Twins in 1989 and became one of the best closers in baseball, winning another World Series in 1991. He closed out his career with the Red Sox and Cubs. Retiring in 2000,

getting 318 career saves, the eighth most in history 17 years ago. Remember Teddy’s Root Beer? If you do, you’re about my age, too. Thought about this short-lived root beer when I came upon a cool vintage tin sign advertising it with Ted Williams on the sign. It came out for the 1961 season, the first season without Ted Williams, a team player since 1939. The Splendid Splitter had a great final season, hitting a homer in his last MLB at bat. I used to drink lots of Pepsi Cola and Royal Crown Cola, but that summer I filled up on Teddy’s Root Beer to celebrate his great career. Can you imagine how much you could get for a bottle of the stuff from 54 years ago? Wonder what it would taste like bottled up all these decades? When I was buying the tonic, it was a nickel plus a two cent deposit. Oh, for those inexpensive days again. Lackey Not Lacking Now

The Chicago Cubs are on fire now. In first place in the Central Division and moving further ahead of the runner up team. One reason for this surge on the Cubbies’ part is former Red Sox starter John Lackey, who has become the ace of the red-hot Cubs. He came through with another stellar performance last weekend. Seven innings and zero runs. He is now 6-2 with a 2.88 ERA. Boy, could we use him now. Just think Buchholz. No one in Chicago is even talking about Jon Lester since all eyes are on John Lackey.

It was five years ago — 60 months in the past — but it somehow only seems like yesterday that the streets of the Hub were awash with people adorned in Black and Gold as the citizens of Bruins Nation swarmed across the landscape to celebrate the 2011 Stanley Cup Champions. It had been a long time in coming. It had been some 39 years, in fact, since a similar event had graced our public places. It was way back in 1972 that the Bs had last won the Cup, meaning that some who were a whole lot younger back in the day were now senior citizens, and many others, born in later years, were experiencing the elation and euphoria for the first time. When the 2010-2011 Bruins assembled at their training camp in Wilmington on a summer-like September day, the raw memory of the prior May’s fiasco was still on their minds. For it was back then, only five months earlier, that the Bs had taken a 3-0 lead in games against Philadelphia in the second round of the 2010 playoffs. But the Flyers came back to tie the series at 3-3 and force a deciding game 7. Even then, the Bs cruised to a 3-0 lead before the roof fell in and Philadelphia advanced while the Bs headed home. In the blame-the-coach culture that pervades much of modern sports, then GM Peter Chiarelli refused to capitulate to those with pitchforks at the gate and retained coach Claude Julien — a decision that would pay huge dividends in the coming season. So, as the Bruins convened for yet another campaign, two new faces had been added — Tyler Seguin and Nathan Horton. Seguin was the second overall pick in the NHL June Draft. For all those NHL players who have never experienced winning the cup, Seguin stands as the ultimate example of the most fortunate few. Not only would he win the Cup, he would do so as an NHL rookie before he turned 19. Horton, acquired from the Florida Panthers over the summer, would become a star in the 2011 playoffs. The Bs finished first in the Northeast Division with 103 points, and third in the Eastern Conference, posting a 46-25-11 record. David Krejci (13-4962), Milan Lucic (30-32-62), Patrice Bergeron (22-35-57), and Horton (26-27-53) were the leading point producers. Goalie Tim Thomas had a 2.00 goals against average in 57 games en route to posting nine shutouts. He was named the winner of the Vezina Trophy (best goalie in the regular season). From there it was on to the NHL’s Second Season—the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Much like the Celtics, who won the NBA title in 2008, the Bruins would also be required to win three full seven-game series to claim the title. First up would be archrival Montreal, who would throw a scare into the Bs by winning the opening two games of the series in the Garden. But the Bruins prevailed north of the

border to knot things at 2-2. Back in “Boston for Game 5, Horton would provide the gamewinning tally in a double-overtime thriller. Montreal claimed a 2-1 victory in game 6, while Horton was once again the man of the hour in game 7 at the Garden, scoring the overtime goal that propelled the Bs into the second round via a 4-3 victory. Now it was time for revenge in a big-time manner. In a rematch of their second round series in 2010, the Bruins swept Philadelphia this time, winning the first two games in Philly and the last two at the Garden (both by 5-1 scores). In the conference finals, the Bruins faced Tampa Bay. Once more it came down to game 7 at the Garden. In one of the best games ever played on Causeway Street, no penalties were called (the first time in the playoffs in over 20 years) and the game was scoreless until just a little over eight minutes remained in the final period. Then Horton scored to provide the 1-0 victory, his second game 7 winning goal in the playoffs. Vancouver is about as far as you can get from Boston and still be in an NHL market, but this long-distance series would also go the distance. The Canucks had won the Presidents’ Trophy (best record in the regular season). It was Boston’s first appearance in the Stanley Cup Final since losing to the Edmonton Oilers in 1990. The home teams dominated the early going, with Vancouver winning the opening two contests in Rogers Arena and the Bruins taking the next two at the Garden. Vancouver won Game 5 at Rogers, meaning the Bruins had to win the final two games to claim the Cup. The Black and Gold took Game 6 at the Garden (5-2) and then headed west for the seventh and deciding game. Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand each scored two goals and Tim Thomas made 37 saves as the Bs cruised to a 4-0 victory and Cup history. Some 3,000 miles away in Boston, a celebration began with people literally dancing in the streets. Unfortunately, in downtown Vancouver a frustration riot took place, leaving many places of business with significant damage. During their 25-game run in the playoffs, only one member of the Bruins roster did not take the ice. He was goalie Tuukka Rask, who would later figure prominently in more recent Bruins’ history. For now, though, Tim Thomas was the man of the hour, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of the Playoffs. The Bruins won on Wednesday night (June 15). Their triumphal parade through the streets of Boston took place on Saturday, and the annual breakup day was Sunday. We remember how the locker room doors slowly closed that day, moving the 2010-2011 Bruins from the present to the past, from the headlines to history. Some five years later, the warm afterglow of that memorable season remains.
