The year was 1492. A young man from Genoa, Italy, CristoforoColombo, was convinced a route to the Far East could befound by sailing West and he wanted a chance to prove it.Many thought he was a dreamer. Luckily he was able to per-suade others and turned his dream into a reality.

In the years that followed, America became a melting potfor people who, like Columbus, had a dream and were willingto take a chance on what they believed in. The English, theFrench, the Jews, the Irish, the Italians and countlessothers, all came seeking the freedom to make their owndecisions and to have the opportunity to make their dreamsa reality. They wanted the best of both worlds and got it.These people were proud to call themselves Americans andequally proud to hold on to the traditions of their homeland.Where else but in America would this be possible?

Five hundred and twenty years later, we salute the manwho took a chance — Christopher Columbus. A man whowas a model for future explorers to emulate. We are theproduct of all the Christopher Columbuses that came beforeus.

We are Americans — the envy of other nations — whereopportunities are boundless for every person. Some callAmerica, the “Land of Dreamers.” We’re not offended by this.Instead, we’re proud to be able to dream and, like Columbus,make our dreams come true!

America — Land of Dreamers

Forty Two Percent of the TimeHow often does President Obama read his Intel

reports? Reports in the news last week put it atabout 42 percent of the time. Many of hisObamacrat apologists say perhaps the Intel reportsare far too complicated. Perhaps, when James Clap-per crawls out from under the bus, he could startprinting pop-up Intel reports, huh?

Are We Better Off TodayThan Six Years Ago?

Our president looked into the CBS-TV cameraand said a definite “Yes!”

On Wednesday evening, October 1st, theOctober Italian-American Heritage MonthCommittee welcomed the community of theCommonwealth to the House Chamber ofthe State House in Boston to celebrate thebeginning of October as Italian-AmericanHeritage Month.

2014 marks the 15th anniversary of Gov-ernor Argeo Paul Cellucci’s signing legisla-tion to officially designate October in honorof the many contributions that the Italian-American community made and continuesto make in the state of Massachusetts andthroughout the country.

The Coro Dante, a chorus group from theDante Alighieri Society in Cambridge, high-lighted the evening’s events with their stun-ning rendition of the National Anthems ofItaly and the United States in the HouseChamber Room where Robert DeLeo, theMassachusetts House Speaker andCav. James Di Stefano, President of theHeritage Month committee welcomed thecapacity crowd.

Many other dignitaries in the communitywere on hand, including Consul GeneralNicola De Santis.

De Santis stressed the importance of theItalian-American community by quotingPresident John Fitzgerald Kennedy, “All ofus, in a large sense, are beneficiaries of theItalian experience. It is an extraordinary fact

in history that so much of what we are and somuch of what we believe had its origin in thisrather small spear of land stretching into theMediterranean. All in a great sense that wefight to preserve today had its origins in Italy.”

The program culminated with the presen-tation of various award recipients. The Ital-ian Community Advocate Award was pre-sented to Pamela Donnaruma, Publisherand Editor of the Post-Gazette newspaper.Governor Argeo Paul Cellucci was posthu-mously honored with the HumanitarianAward, accepted on his behalf by his wifeJanet.

Ferrino received the Lifetime Awardand Alessandro LoPriore of the Associationof Carabinieri received the AppreciationAward.

Over a month of events is plannedthroughout the State by various Italian-American organizations and with the sup-port of the October as Italian-AmericanHeritage Month Committee.

We know Helios as theSun god, son of the Titan,Hyperion, and brother toSelene or Luna, goddess ofthe moon, and Eos or Aurora,goddess of the morning. TheRoman counterpart to Helioswas called Sol. This sun godwas usually represented asstrong, handsome, and inthe prime of his youth, withbright eyes, waving locks ofhair and a crown of rays uponhis head. Every morning hearose from the ocean, far tothe east, and then climbedinto the heavens on achariot drawn by four whitehorses that were breathinglight and fire as they as-cended. The horses werenamed Aethiops, Bronte,Eoos, and Sterope. Duringthe late part of the day,Helios started his descent sothat by dusk he was sinkinginto the western seas withhis chariot and horses.While he slept, his horsesalso rested, and togetherthey were all carried aroundthe earth below the horizon,back to the east in a goldenboat.

Helios was called the all-seer because his rays pen-etrated everywhere, making

him a witness to all worldlyhappenings. He was alsocalled “The revealer of allthat is done on earth.” Andwas often invoked as a wit-ness to oaths and solemndeclarations.

The island of Trinacria(Sicily) at one time harboredseven flocks of sheep and

seven herds of cattle. Therewere fifty animals in eachflock or herd making a totalof 700, which number recog-nized the 700 days andnights of the lunar year.

It was the pleasure ofHelios to look down uponthese animals on his dailyjourney across the heavens.Their numbers were not tobe increased nor dimin-ished, otherwise his wrathwould descend upon all mor-tals. The homeward journeyof Odysseus, hero ofHomer’s Odyssey, took hisparty close to this island ofTrinacria, but he did not in-tend to stop. His compan-ions, however, in need ofrest and refreshment,pleaded for one night ashore.Odysseus yielded, but onlyafter binding them to an oathnot to touch one of the ani-mals in the sacred herds,and to be content with theirown provisions. Contrarywinds detained the travelersat the island for one month.During that time they kepttheir oath, consumed theirown provisions, and huntedonly birds and fish.

Famine finally pressed thevoyagers and one day in theabsence of Odysseus theyslaughtered some of the sa-cred cattle. A vain attemptto make amends causedthem to prepare an offeringto Helios. When Odysseusreturned, he was horrorstruck at their deed. Theanimal skins crept along theground and the joints ofmeat dropped off the spitswhile roasting. The windsoon became fair and theparty left the island. Beforethey had gone very far, theweather changed and a se-vere thunderstorm wreckedthe vessel. Odysseus clungto some floating debrisand was able to get to shorebut all of his companionsperished.

Helios and Sol were wor-shipped in many places, andfestivals were dedicated intheir honor. According to theRoman historian, Pliny, themost celebrated of all colos-sal statues in ancientGreece was the bronze colos-sus of Helios at Rhodes, byChares of Lindus, who gavetwelve years to casting thestatue. Its height has beengiven as somewhere be-tween 90 and 120 feet. Itstood for about fifty-sixyears until it was toppled byan earthquake and ruined.Believe it or not, the re-mains were sold to a junkdealer as scrap metal.

The Romans identifiedHelios with their god Sol, aspreviously mentioned. Apublic sacrifice was held inhis honor on august 8th ofeach year. During latertimes, however, the intro-duction of the Persian godMithras brought the worshipof the sun to Rome in grandfashion.

NEXT WEEK:Heliopolis

HELIOS AND SOL

Monday we celebrate Columbus Day in honor of hishistoric voyages that opened communication, commerce,and migration between the Old World of Europe and theNew World of the Americas. Columbus’ voyages of dis-covery led directly to Spanish settlements. The New Worldthat became, with time, the many Latin-American nationsof South, Central and North America and the islands of theCaribbean. The United States, today a sea-to-sea continen-tal nation with citizens and residents whose ancestors livedin every corner of the globe, likewise traces her beginningsto Columbus. As early as 1738 “Columbia” had entered theEnglish tongue as a name for the 13 British colonies inNorth America that became our original 13 States. Yes,from the birth of our nation it was understood that it allstarted with Columbus. That’s why Columbus matters.

OUR POLICY: To help preserve the ideals and sacred traditionsof this our adopted country the United States of America:To revere its laws and inspire others to respect and obey them:To strive unceasingly to quicken the public’s sense of civic duty:In all ways to aid in making this country greater and betterthan we found it.

Dominic Avellani … howto sum up his life: Someonewho spoke 4 languages?Someone who has been allover the world, from Egypt toChina and from Cuba toPanama? Someone whowas congratulated in personby Lenny Zakim, Bob Dole,and Ted Kennedy? Some-one who was married to mymom for 36 years? Why didI name my first son afterhim? As a father, he hastaught me so much.

Let’s start with his early years. He al-ways loved Tione degli Abruzzi. He re-membered the farming, the gatheringof scrap metal to buy a loaf of bread anda piece of chocolate, and la trebbia, afantastic machine that would separategrain from their stalks and husks. Heremembered the long journey from Italy(by ship, not by airplane). He remem-bered arriving in the North End, livingin a small apartment, and being sur-prised that everyone spoke Italian therelike in Tione. These experiences taughthim humility and to appreciate the littlethings in life.

When he was a senior in high school,his guidance counselor asked him atthe end of the school year where he wasgoing to college. No one asked him be-fore and it was too late to apply to localschools. It angered him that his coun-selor didn’t consult him earlier, but hewas still able to apply to a school in Iowa,Parson’s College, where he studiedSpanish and History. After college inIowa, he went to Mexico to continue hisstudies. There, he met my mom and theywent together to Boston where he be-gan to teach in the Boston PublicSchools.

He never forgot that bad experience inhigh school with his guidance counse-lor. It made him want to become a guid-ance counselor to help others finishhigh school and to apply for collages andvocational schools on time, so he soonbecame a bilingual guidance counselor.When students would visit him, theywould often come with parents who didnot speak English well, were not U.S.Citizens, or did not have a high schooldiploma. In 1972, these experiencesgave him the idea of opening his ownCenter for Adults in the North End abovethe post office so he could help these

adult immigrants.After retiring from the

Boston Public Schools after30 years, he continued theeducation center, later inEast Boston. The wake wasin East Boston and the fu-neral was in the North Endbecause he wanted themembers of these two com-munities that he helped,over 50,000 people, to beable to see him one lasttime. I thank those who

came; family, friends, and students. Hededicated his life to the service of theimmigrant and the high school teen-ager. Many times he did not get a thankyou but he felt that helping these peoplewas his calling. Honorable Judge JosephFerrino, a friend of my father’s, recentlysaid that my dad did what the PublicSchools of Boston would not do, he ful-filled that need.

Was work my father’s life? No, he madetime for my family. My sister, Cathy,remembers him always coming homeafter his day job to eat dinner with usand take us to the Healey School nearbyto play some ball or ride our bikes. Hetook us to church every Sunday andthen out to a restaurant, as a family.We would winter ski together, hike to-gether, and go to movies together. Hemade time for me to play Little League,for my sister to play soccer, and he al-ways did his best to come to importantevents in our lives.

He was a real American, teaching usto honor our country, remember ourpast, to be proud of our family, to be proudRoman Catholics, and to be positive. Ibelieve this self-esteem boost reallyhelped me in school. He taught usresponsibility, to be self-reliant, and tonot be afraid to get our hands dirty.

He would explain history in a way thatmade it real and he would always speakof the good the Roman Empire, Christo-pher Columbus, and the United Stateshave done for the world. He was a trueoptimist, and he never limited yourpotential. We definitely need morepeople like him in the world, people thatcan bring others together and to improvethemselves. I truly believe he is now ina better place. In closing, I would like tosay to my father in Roman Latin, “aveatque vale,” which means “hail andfarewell.”

Recently, a regular readerof this newspaper told me Iwas whining too much latelyand was becoming a bit toonegative on what is happen-ing in America. However,look around at our leaders.We have a president who isclearly out of his league. Hecame up to the majors tooquickly. Needed more timein Triple A Chicago and asthings keep going wrong, heappears too arrogant tochange course. When hesays the economy is boom-ing and most of us are ap-parently (I guess) too dumbto see it. Then, he calls ISISneither Islamic nor a Stateand he expects us to jumpin behind him saying thesame thing.

We are in the midst of anelection cycle, you wouldthink from listening to thecampaigns that the Repub-lic hangs in the balance.Both sides are resorting tonegative campaigning thatmost of us find so unappeal-ing. We have a presidentthat Democrats are runningfrom, putting as much dis-tance as possible betweenthe Great Obama and them.And I’m talking DEMO-CRATS here.

Recently, Martha Coakleysounded like a crybaby say-ing Charlie Baker was say-ing mean things about her.

Do I Really Whine Too Much?

It is difficult not to be dis-gusted with them all.

When it comes to the bal-lot question, the wrong sideson both Questions 1 and 3are simply just whining. OnQuestion 1 you must voteYES to say NO to an auto-matic tax hike. The NO sidecalls themselves the Com-mittee to save our crumblingbridges and roads. I don’twant any crumbling either,but our legislators shouldhave to vote new taxes up ordown because that’s the jobthey are paid to do.

As far as Question 3 on ca-sinos. Once again, if youwant no casinos, you mustvote YES on 3. The other sidecalls themselves the Com-mittee to save Mass jobs. Iwant to save jobs too.

If you oppose automatic taxhikes, remember VOTE YESON 1. Oppose casinos, VOTEYES on 3.

Meanwhile, be happyknowing we are down to thefinal two years of Obama inthe White House. Also behappy that Joe Biden will dis-appear from public life after2016. No Oval Office for him.

My new motto is DON’TWORRY, BE HAPPY, BUT PAYATTENTION TO WHATWASHINGTON IS DOING.Vote on November 4th and letsome fresh air move intoyour life.

Who knew that sim-ply turning a page ona desk calendar couldmuster so much ex-citement? That is pre-cisely what I felt whenI flipped the page onOctober 1st last week.October conjures abounty of memoriesand images for me, ofbright falling leaves and per-fectly orange pumpkins. Thisis the month when I beginto crave hot chocolate towarm through the chilly eve-nings. It is the month whenI devour stories of ghosts andother mystical creatures inpreparation for the spine-tingling delights of Hallow-een. October is also whenmy kitchen smells likepumpkin, as I try to inte-grate this creamy seasonalingredient into as many des-serts as possible — pumpkincake, pumpkin cookies,pumpkin bread, pumpkineverything! Yes, Octobermeans lovely autumnweather and scrumptiousfood to me, and the antici-pation I felt on the first daycontinues to carry methrough the whole month.In Italy, October brims withits own proverbs, foods andtraditions, making it one ofthe most exciting months tovisit the country.

The name October — orottobre in Italian — stemsfrom the Latin root octo,meaning “eight.” BeforeJanuary and February wereadded to the calendar, Octo-ber was the eighth month ofthe year in ancient Rome. In

“Many Americans live on the outskirts of hope.”— President Lyndon B. Johnson

Italy, October is associatedwith cool and pleasantweather and golden sun-shine, making it a popularmonth for tourists. Octoberfurthermore entails theharvest of late-autumncrops for Italians, such asmushrooms and apples. TheItalian proverbs dealing withOctober epitomize themonth’s agricultural andmeteorological importancein the culture. One suchproverb reads: “Ottobre ébello, ma tieni prontol’ombrello.” This proverbstates that while October isbeautiful, one should havean umbrella ready at amoment’s notice, as there isalso the tendency to rainthroughout the month. In-deed, last week the stretchof October rains turned theworld a dark shade of gray,making the Halloween deco-rations on my street appearextra ominous. However, an-other Italian proverb pro-claims that this rain is ac-tually good for the harvest,as “Ottobre piovoso, campoprosperoso” — “rainy Octo-ber, prosperous country-side.” No matter the rain,Italians appreciate Octoberfor its overall lovely weather

and abundant har-vest, turning it intoone of the most be-loved months of theItalian calendar.

October eternallyreminds me of darkevenings wrappedin a cozy blanket,sipping on warmtea or enjoying a

fresh-from-the-oven slice ofapple pie. The early Octobernights call me back to homeand family, to time spenttogether around lovinglycrafted meals. This affinityfor fall staples is felt inItaly as well, which hosts asmattering of food festivalsthroughout the month. Sev-eral cities in the regionsof Tuscany, Piedmont, LeMarche, Umbria and EmiliaRomagna hosts truffle fairs.The truffle, or tartufo, hasbecome a symbol of autum-nal delicacy in Italy. Thismushroom is often extractedfrom the ground with thehelp of specially trained pigsor dogs. It emerges from theground looking like a mis-shapen lump of coal, butits unorthodox appearancebelies the creamy, nuttydeliciousness within. Cer-tain varieties of truffles areextremely rare and worththousands of dollars, butmore common types oftruffles are found in every-day dishes all over Italy —drizzled over salads, stuffedinto pasta, infused in oil. Istill dream about a truffleravioli dish I had in Italy wayback in 2005, for it was thatgood. Elsewhere, severalItalian cities host sagre dellacastagna, or feasts of thechestnut. The chestnut isanother quintessential au-tumn food in Italy, foraged inthe woods and roasted overfires for a succulent andsmoky texture. Chestnutsremind me of my father, be-cause his bringing home alarge bag of jewel-like chest-nuts was one of the first har-

in the church parking lot.Parishioners brought theirpets, mostly dogs and catsbut …

Everyone was surprised tosee a horse trailer hitchedto a pick-up truck, pull intothe parking lot. Apparently,the owners of two poniesaccidently ended up at theparking lot while searchingfor the Paris Street Gym forthe scheduled Harvest Kids Fest where therewere to be pony rides.

When everyone figured out what was go-ing on, Tommy Dolfi decided to get his twoponies, “Dakota” and “Little Joe” blessed too.

He was born FrancescoBorgia de Candia d’Aragon inthe Duchy of Gandía,Valencia, on October 28,1510. Francis’ father wasJuan Borgia, 3rd Duke ofGandía, his mother wasJuana, daughter of Alonso deAragón. Although as a childhe was very pious andwished to become a monk,his family sent him insteadto the court of Charles V,Holy Roman Emperor, wherehe distinguished himself,becoming a Duke when hewas only thirty-three.

In September 1526,Francis married a Portu-guese noblewoman inMadrid, Leonor de CastroMello y Meneses and settledinto happy married life. Theyhad eight children. In 1539,he became Viceroy ofCatalonia.

Francis delighted in com-posing ecclesiastical musicand was one of the chief com-posers of sacred music inthe sixteenth century.

In 1546 everythingchanged when his wifeEleanor died. Francis thendecided to enter the newlyformed Society of Jesus, af-ter making adequate provi-sions for his children. He puthis affairs in order and in1551, renounced his titles infavor of his eldest son, andbecame a Jesuit priest,known for his great humil-ity despite his illustriouspast.

In 1554, he became theJesuit commissary-generalin Spain, where he foundeda dozen colleges. After onlytwo years, Francis was also

given responsibility for mis-sions in the East and WestIndies. In 1565, he waselected the third “FatherGeneral” or Superior Gen-eral of the Society of Jesus

His successes during theperiod 1565-1572 havecaused historians to de-scribe Francis as the great-est General after SaintIgnatius. He founded theCollegium Romanum, whichwas to become the GregorianUniversity, advised kingsand popes, and closely super-vised all the affairs of therapidly expanding JesuitOrder. Despite the greatpower of his office, Francisled a humble life, and waswidely regarded in his ownlifetime as a saint.

Francis Borgia died onSeptember 30, 1572 inRome. He was beatified inMadrid on November 23,1624, by Pope Gregory XVand canonized 35 yearslater on June 20, 1670 byPope Clement X. SaintFrancis Borgia’s feast is cel-ebrated on October 10th.

School passed recently. Inorder to hold the amount ofpeople seeking to pay theirrespect it was decided thatMr. Albano be waked at EastBoston High School wherehe spent most of his adultlife. Mr. Albano was oftenreferred to as the “Mayor” ofEast Boston because hewas so well-known. He wasunique with a heart of goldand went out of his way tohelp people that asked forit. His passion for politicsand ability to get candidateselected was his greatestasset. Mr. Albano will bemissed by the East Bostoncommunity ... The Post-Gazette was in the newsrecently for being the oldestsurviving family ownedweekly newspaper in Boston... The Columbus Day Paradeis this Sunday. We want towelcome the fabulousShriners Marching Bandonce again, thanks to thegenerosity of Chairman andCEO Richard Gavegnano ofthe East Boston SavingsBank who presented theShriners with a check ...Parade volunteers put twoyears of work into bringingthe parade to East Boston.The excitement the paradegenerates goes on for weeksprior to the parade. Thereare fundraisers and lots ofpreparations that includegetting marching bands,floats, clowns, etc. Candi-dates seeking election andre-election look forward tomarching in the famousparade. Parade committeevolunteers deserve a hugeround of applause for thetime and effort put into thishuge event ... New housingdevelopment brings magicto Boston’s beautiful water-

front in East Boston. But it’sespecially good to hear thatthe Boston RedevelopmentAuthority is allowing NewStreet waterfront develop-ers, Gerding Edlen to payinto a fund that will contrib-ute to affordable housingsomewhere in the city in-stead of building the re-quired 15 percent of afford-able units on the New Streetsite. BRA officials explainedthis decision was made be-cause they felt putting theaffordable component on thesite would make the projectfinancially “uninviting.” Thetwo building developmentwill feature a roof top pooland fitness center and isexpected to attract Bostonworkers with a five minutewalk to the T ... Owners ofSuffolk Downs always said ifthey didn’t get the license tobuild a casino on their land,they would fall back on hous-ing, retail space and otheramenities reminiscent ofAssembly Row in Somerville.There’s a strong possibilitythat is the direction of theland. East Boston residentsthat were fearful a casinowould bring extra traffic willnow be complaining over the

traffic a retail, housing andother amenities will bring ...Residents of East Bostonare becoming alarmed overthe gang related rise incrime in East Boston.

AnotherObama dumb idea … Send-ing 3,500 ground troops toAfrica to fight the Ebola vi-rus doesn’t make any sense.Not only will many of thesemen and women contact thedisease, they will also bringit back to this country. Moreimportantly some will diefrom it. We didn’t train ourtroops to fight diseases.What is Obama thinking???The President is so discon-nected it’s mind-boggling.Barack Hussein Obama hasbeen advised to put boots onthe ground in Syria to fightISIS where innocent Syr-ians and Americans are be-ing beheaded and slaugh-tered by these madmen, butrefuses to do so!

ANNOUNCEMENT

COMITES ELECTIONS

The Isabella StewartGardner Museum an-nounced the opening of anexhibition titled Donatello,Michelangelo, Cellini: Sculp-tors’ Drawings from Renais-sance Italy, on view fromOctober 23, 2014 throughJanuary 19, 2015 in theMuseum’s Hostetter Gallery.This international loanexhibition will bring together39 drawings and a num-ber of related sculptures byrenowned Renaissance mas-ters, including Michelangelo,Donatello, Cellini, Bandi-nelli, Giambologna, and DellaRobbia, many exhibited forthe first time in the UnitedStates.

This exhibition — inspiredby the self-portrait of Flor-entine artist Baccio Bandin-elli and in the GardnerMuseum’s collection — is thefirst one to do an in-depthstudy of the multi-facetedrelationship between draw-ing and sculpture inRenaissance Italy. Collectedthroughout the centuries,drawings by Renaissancemasters have been widelypraised and admired. Theyare celebrated for theirbeauty and elegance, tech-nical mastery and ingenuity,and yet the relationshipdbetween drawings and theworking practices of thesculptor’s studio have beenvastly understudied — untilnow.

In his portrait, Bandinelli,one of the most famoussculptors of his day, is not

Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum PresentsDonatello, Michelangelo, Cellini:

Sculptors’ Drawings from Renaissance Italymemorialized with one of hisgrand public monuments,but rather with a preparatorydrawing of it. This empha-sizes the decisive shift thatoccurred during the Renais-sance, as drawings becamevaluable works of art in andof themselves, and high-lights the shifting social sta-tus of artists as intellectualsinstead of mere craftsmen.

“The Isabella StewartGardner Museum is de-lighted to present thisgroundbreaking exhibitionthat gives visitors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seethis assembled collection ofimportant and beautifuldrawings and sculpturesspanning the 200 years be-tween Donatello andBernini,” notes AnneHawley, the Norma JeanCalderwood Director. “Thefact that a hallmark work inthe Gardner’s permanentcollection has galvanizedsuch important new scholar-ship in the field aligns per-fectly with the Museum’smission.”

Michael Cole, Professor ofItalian Renaissance andBaroque Art at ColumbiaUniversity, and Oliver Tost-mann, Susan Morse HillesCurator of European Art atthe Wadsworth AtheneumMuseum of Art, the co-cura-tors for the exhibition, haveled an international team ofscholars who have contrib-uted to the accompanyingcatalogue.

“The goal of this exhibi-

tion,” says Cole “is to lookcomparatively at the graphicpractices of Italian Renais-sance sculptors.” In so doing,the exhibition and cataloguetell a story of professionaltransformation. The earliestRenaissance artists whomade drawings were trainedas goldsmiths, while many ofthe later artists who madedrawings did so as theymoved into the field of archi-tecture.

In addition to severalworks in the Gardner’s per-manent collection — includ-ing the Self-Portrait by BaccioBandinelli and a drawing ofthe Pietà by Michelangelo —other highlights of the exhi-bition include noteworthyloans that have never be-fore been shown in America,including Cellini’s Perseusand Andromeda from theMuseo Nazionale del Bar-gello, Florence, Italy andPeter de Witte’s Portrait of

Giambologna in his Studiofrom a private collection. Inaddition to these, other draw-ings will be on loan from theBritish Museum, Victoriaand Albert Museum, the Met-ropolitan Museum of Art, theLouvre, and the Uffizi.

CATALOGUEAccompanying the exhibi-

tion will be a fully illustratedcatalogue with five essays byleading scholars. 250 pages,paperback, 11" x 9", 120 colorillustrations. ISBN 9781 907372 70 4, www.paul-holberton.net. Distributed inContinental Europe bywww.vilo-groupe.com and inthe United States andCanada by Casemate Athenawww.casemateathena.com.

LECTURESA series of related public

programs will also comple-ment the exhibition, and willpresent new findings and in-sights from scholars of his-tory and art history, conser-vators, and artists.

and Public Programs at theGardner Museum.

The processes involved inmaking — and studying —works of art are continuouslyevolving, and speak volumesabout the interrelationshipsbetween artists and society.Gardner conservator Gian-franco Pocobene will presenta new look at drawing tech-niques used by Michelangeloin the Gardner’s Pietà, andcontemporary sculptor RonaPondick will discuss how shecombines inspiration fromthe work of earlier artistswith the use of digital tech-nology in creating her sculp-ture. Join us for a lively con-versation about the impact ofnew technologies on the artworld.

COULD RENAISSANCESCULPTORS DRAW?

Thursday, December 11th

at 7:00 PMMichael Cole, Professor of

Italian Renaissance and Ba-roque Art History at ColumbiaUniversity.

In his Self-Portrait, Bandi-nelli depicts himself show-casing a drawing. The ges-ture is striking, not only be-cause it shows drawing tak-ing the place of sculpture,but also because Renais-sance sculptors — by con-trast to trained painters likeMichelangelo — were andare generally regarded as in-capable draftsmen. Just howexceptional was Bandinelli?What drawings do we havefrom Renaissance sculptorsand why were they made?Join Michael Cole, co-cura-tor of the exhibition, as heexplores these questions.

for a Doggie Halloween Treat Bag!!!

Socially Scene Reviewed… This past week scienceand design came together inhonor of Artweek to createthe first ever Descience atMIT.

Research on the runwaywas proof positive that Bostonfashion is SMART! YulyFuentes-Medel, Patricia Tor-regrosa and Claire Jarviscreators of the event broughtcreative talent and brain-power together. However,the night was whisked awayby 9-year-old Junior Sar-torialist Toby Otting who pre-sented throughout the show.

I am sure many of you area bit confused as to what theevent was about. It was aspecial edition to BostonFashion Week and the firstever, so let me bring you upto speed on Descience.

It is a project in which theworld of scientific discoveryoffers inspiration for the in-novative minds of fashiondesigners. Descience cre-ates collaborations betweendesigners and scientists andbrings research to the run-way, providing a platformboth for emerging designersand scientists.

“The difference betweenscience and the arts is notthat they are different sidesof the same coin … or evendifferent parts of the samecontinuum, but rather, theyare manifestations of thesame thing. The arts andsciences are avatars ofhuman creativity.”

— Mae Jemison (doctor,dancer, first AfricanAmerican in space)

The breakdown of how this

fabulous event unfolds is asfollows; Scientists provideideas and images of theirscientific research. Scien-tists’ submissions includeimages taken from their dis-coveries and descriptions oftheir research, noting thegreater implications of theirfindings. Scientists describewhat makes them passion-ate about science and whythey are interested in par-ticipating in Descience.

The designers are inspiredby the strong ideas and im-ages provided by scientists.

They choose from the pro-files their top three favoritescientists to collaboratewith. If a scientist receivesmore than one request, theycreate their own designerranking. Descience createsthe final teams of one sci-entist and one designer.

Then the designers andscientists collaborate to cre-ate a runway look, inspiredby science. Teams brain-storm and agree upon a cre-ative vision and executionfor the project. The designercreates a sketch or visualrepresentation of the team’sconcept, to be approved by thescientist and submitted toDescience. Designers thencreate a research inspiredgarment through continuedcollaboration. Teams submitphotographs of completedlooks to the website, wherethey compete for votes.

The design with the mostvotes will be named “People’sChoice,” featured in the run-way show as a finalist andreceive a $500 cash prize.Descience showcases sub-mitted looks at DescienceRunway, the capstone fash-ion show event. Final teamsare chosen by a panel of ad-visors to be part of theDescience Runway Collec-tion.

The 15 finalists are fea-tured in a final runway walkby models, during a recep-tion following DescienceRunway. They will be show-cased in a second runwayshow at the Liberty Hotel’sFashionably Late Thursdaysevent. An overall winner ischosen, and a cash prize of$1,500 is awarded to eachmember of the winningteam. Socially Scene willkeep you updated as towhen.

Did you get all that? Whatan amazing and innovativeevent, but what else can youexpect from the creativeminds at MIT.

The big winner of theevening was Team Cyto-couture: Carlos Villamil (de-sign) and Laura Indolfi (sci-ence). People’s Choice wentto Team Orphacure: Can-dice Wu (design) and Chris-topher Gibson (science).

The panel of judges was soimpressed with the collabo-rations, that they had tosingle out two of the designteams for honorable men-tion. Those honors went toTeam Quorum54: TatianaTejedor (design) Tal Danino(science) and Team Interwo-ven: Margaret Jackson (de-sign) and Pedro ParraguezRuiz (science).

Happy Columbus Day

Well, here we are! Wherehave we been? We went ona trip, around the world withGiuseppina, cosce storte!How exciting it was! Ofcourse we missed creatingour weekly column. So herewe are to bore you.

Gee, making the news,the price of visiting a prosti-tute is dropping. A study ofon-line prostitution ads byThe Economist found that sexworkers charge on average,$260 per hour, down from$340 per hour in 2006.Prices began dropping afterthe 2008 financial crisis andhaven’t rebounded becausethe Internet has increasedsupply. It’s easier for prosti-tutes to find customers on-line and vice versa.

Be aware, the average costof raising a child born in2013 will be $245,000 — notcounting college costs.

And so Jack Williams co-anchor of WBZ-TV4’s “Eye-witness News” has decidedto shut his mouth. Well, Wil-liams’ interest in broadcast-ing began at age 13, whenhe built his own radio sta-tion at home in Idaho. Twoyears later, he was hired byan Idaho radio station, KYTE,as an announcer. In 1964,Williams started working fulltime as a news reporter.Williams has been a televi-sion anchor since 1968 andworked at KIRO-TV in Se-attle and KORK-TV in LasVegas before coming toWBZ-TV in 1975. A Phi BetaKappa graduate of the Uni-versity of Oregon, Williamsearned a degree in BroadcastJournalism. Jack Williamsis the recipient of manyawards. It would require atleast a page or more to listthem all. Yes, he has beenpraised by many organiza-tions for his reporting skillsand commitment to the com-munity and for his efforts onbehalf of the “WednesdayChild.” His wife Marci mustbe happy to have Jackspending more time athome.

In 1969, women made upalmost half of the richest0.01 percent of Americans,thanks largely to inherited

wealth. By 2000, womenmade up just one third ofthis group. Today, only 15percent of American billion-aires are women. One of thebillionaires is AbigailJohnson of Fidelity. Yes, weknow her parents.

Wow! Nutty news! Califor-nia now grows four fifths ofthe world’s almonds, a cropthat uses enough water tosupply 75 percent of thedrought-parched state’spopulation.

New Indian Prime Minis-ter Narendra Modi declinedall food at a White Housestate dinner because he wason a nine-day religious fast.While President Obama andother dignitaries dined oncrisped halibut and com-pressed avocados with goatcheese. Prime MinisterModi enjoyed some Baccala.No! Just kidding. He enjoyeda glass of warm water.

From moo to you! A Swissstudy revealed that clangingbells may damage cows’hearing. Researchers saidcows may be going deaf be-cause of ear damage andsuggests that farmers tracktheir herds with microchipsand a Smartphone instead.

Horny news! A Massachu-setts man with surgicallyimplanted horns on his fore-head was found guilty of mur-der. His final words to thejury: “I’ll see you all in hell.”

Gee, according to MotherSuperior Frances Fitzgerald,when you get to heaven youwill be surprised to seemany people there you didn’texpect to see. Many may bejust as surprised to see youthere.

Carlo Scostumato says,“Judging from the generalbehavior we see in thisworld, hell must be ex-periencing a populationexplosion.”

Bella Culo of Chestnut Hillclaims there is a way to stay

out of hell, but no way to getout.

Aren’t you bored by allthe news about GeorgeClooney’s marriage? Well,Clooney’s reign as theworld’s most eligible bach-elor ended in style as he andBritish human-rights law-yer Amal Alamuddin puton a star-studded, four-daywedding extravaganza inVenice, Italy. The weekend– whose total cost was esti-mated at up to $13 million –began with a rehearsal din-ner followed by the couple’sbachelor and bacheloretteparties, with Clooney and hisgroomsmen knocking backseveral bottles of tequila andfine bottles of Italian wine.It was rumored Clooneyreceived gifts of Viagra. Justkidding.

I believe it was the greatTom Analetto who said: “Mymarriage was made inheaven! It was filled withthunder and lightning!”

The brilliant and astuteBarbra D’Amico says mar-ried couples who claimthey’ve never had an argu-ment in forty years eitherhave poor memories or avery dull life to recall.”

The brainy and observantChristina Quilan, says,“When you see a marriedcouple who’s coming downthe street, the one who is twoor three steps ahead is theone who’s mad.”

For the record, BarbraD’Amico and ChristinaQuinlan are noted execu-tives of Russo Imports Head-quartered in East Boston.

How touching! Two highschool sweethearts from Ar-kansas have finally married,63 years after their firstdate. Marcella and JohnnyVick met in 1950 and afterdating briefly, they driftedapart. Each went on to marryand raise children, but theirspouses have both passedaway. But when Johnny, 80,and Marcella, 79, met at aclass reunion in June, theyrekindled their connection.“At our age, we were hesi-tant at first,” Marcella said.“But we realized a few weeksin that we were in love.We’ve picked up where weleft off when we were teen-agers.” How touching.

What? A California eight-grader was disciplined foroffering to share his lunchwith a friend. The frienddidn’t like his lunch, so KyleBradford offered him a pieceof his chicken burrito. “Iwasn’t really hungry, so itwas just going to go in thegarbage,” Kyle said. Butschool officials prohibit stu-dents from sharing lunches“because of safety and liabil-ity issues,” so Kyle was sentto detention.

Oink! Oink! Virginia offi-cials ordered a family to getrid of its 150-pound pet pig,Tucker. “He is a pet, justlike someone’s dog,” saidKim Johnson, noting thatTucker is house trained andoften plays with theneighbor’s Chihuahua.

Unbelievable! A Utahelementary-school teacher

was injured when the hand-gun she legally carries ac-cidentally went off in a bath-room, shattering a toilet andinjuring her leg.

Our distinguished musi-cologist Albert Natale, re-minds us it was Bob Hopewho convinced a youngtalented singer AnthonyDominick Benedetto tochange his name because itwas too long for a marquee.He suggested Americaniz-ing it and changed it to TonyBennett. Bob Hope saidsomething else thatBennett, the constant stu-dent, would remember al-ways. He said, “Show thepublic you love them.” Tolearn more about the greatTony Bennett get hold of acopy of the book “All theThings You Are: The Life ofTony Bennett” by DavidEvanier.

Be aware, it was an Ital-ian American, Vincent R.Ciccone, who secured over20 patents, beginning in the1930s, for techniques thatcontributed to the mass pro-duction of penicillin andrevolutionized the way medi-cine is combined with hardcandy. His method is widely

used in the production ofcough drops.

In 1849, 27 years beforeAlexander Graham Bellannounced that he inventedthe telephone. AntonioMeucci invented the“teletrofono” in his nativeFlorence and immigrated toAmerica the following year.Meucci attempted to securea U.S. patent, but could notafford the patent fees. Hedied in 1899, never recog-nized for his invention.

The oldest tribute toColumbus is still standing inBaltimore, Maryland. It is astone obelisk. It was donatedby the French Consul toBaltimore, Charles FrancoisAdrian de Paulmier, Cheva-lier d’Anmour. It is the firstmonument to Columbus inthe United States (and inthe world). It was initiallyerected in 1792 on theconsul’s estate at the cornerof North Avenue and HarfordRoad. It was moved to thepresent location in HerringRun Park near Harford Roadnear the Samuel ReadyInstitute on Columbus Day,1964.

The largest and mostimposing monument to Co-lumbus stands in New York’sColumbus Circle at 59th

Street. It was created in1892 from contributions byItalian Americans acrossthe country, led by the Ital-ian American newspaper IlProgresso. Yes, we passed bythe great statue every morn-ing on our way to our officeon Broadway. We were thenliving at West 59th Street.

PLAY BARD!

On September 19th the CommonwealthShakespeare Company brought live theatreto the park with Shakespeare at Fenway.Baseball, football, ice hockey, boxing andwrestling have all been held at the legend-ary baseball field, but this is the first timelive theatre has been performed in this set-ting. It was a great setting for the works ofthe Bard with the stage being set up over

The other night when I was leaving theOgunquit Playhouse after seeing TheAddams Family I was a bit sad. No, the playdid not bring me down, quite the contrary. Iwas sad because this is the final produc-tion in this year’s lineup. When I first gotnotice of the slate of plays for the 2014 sea-son, I have to admit I was disappointed. Therereally wasn’t anything I was excited aboutseeing. All the plays were adapted from mov-ies and there was no classic Broadway re-vival. My thought was the folks at the Play-house were dumbing things down just to fillseats. I could not have been more wrong.This very possibly was the best season everin Ogunquit, and they have finished off withwhat may be the best production (thoughthere is a lot of competition for that award).

This production is based on the touringcompany version, which was revamped fromthe Broadway run, and includes four newsongs as well as new orchestrations.

If you are a fan of the 1960’s TV seriesyou will see all of your favorite charactershere including Thing and Cousin Itt. But,the play is more true to the original CharlesAddams’ cartoons, and that is a delight.Wednesday (Jennifer Fogarty) looks as if shestepped right off of a page of the New YorkerMagazine with her amazing and spookyeyes. She carries a crossbow, which is a nodto Charles Addams who collected them andfantasized about killing a burglar with one.David Engle plays Gomez with a delightfulCastilian accent and gets very near goingover the top without overplaying the role.Morticia (Rachel de Benedet) is sultry and

sexy with her smoky voice, and shestill drives Gomez wild when shespeaks French.

Amanda Bruton as Grandma, lastseen in Billy Elliot, has great comictiming and had the audience institches during the number FullDisclosure. She is a very funnylady.

It wouldn’t be an Ogunquit pro-duction if someone didn’t takeflight, so during the song The Moonand Me, Uncle Fester (Shaun Rice)rises off the stage to sing anddance with the moon in what is afunny and touching scene, beau-tifully chereographed. It was lovelyto watch. Fester also acts as a bitof a narrator for the play, a nicetouch.

You have to think about just whatmakes a normal family when you

get to contrast the very 1950’s suburbanstyle couple the Beinekes (Larry Cahn andLaurie Wells) with the Addams’s. Wednes-day has fallen in love with Mal and AliceBeineke’s son Lucas (Bryan Welnicki), andthe two families are now going to share din-ner at the Addams’ home. It turns out theyboth learn a thing or two from the other. Ithink you will too.

Lurch (Matthew Quinn) is a man of fewwords, and those words are quite interest-ing. He is perfect in this role and gets manylaughs with his movement across the stage.Along with Brian M. Foisy as a cigar chompingPugsley this entire cast is terrific.

The play is loaded with one-liners, but theyare not corny. This is a well-written playand the comedy is top shelf. Combine thiswith a terrific score and wonderful dancenumbers, and what you get to see is a fullblown Broadway musical that will have yousnapping your fingers and humming a tuneon your way out.

Executive Artistic Director Brad Kenneycontinues to outdo himself by attracting in-credible talent and choosing just the rightplays each year. He knows how to run a the-atre. Once again I will remind my readersthat you don’t have to go to New York City tosee top shelf theatre when you have theOgunquit Playhouse just up the road.

October is Halloween month and the per-fect time to share an evening or afternoonwith the Addams Family. I would love to haveMorticia and Gomez as neighbors. Life wouldnever be boring with The Addams Familynext door.

the Red Sox dugout.In his opening remarks, Tom Warner

recited a number of baseball quotes fromShakespeare. Who knew Will was such abaseball fan? He had lines such as “Andwatch him how he singled” — Henry VIPart 3, “He comes the third time home” —Coriolanus, “Look to the plate” — Romeo andJuliet, and “I shall catch the fly” — Henry V.

There was a little added drama when thefire alarm went off during a scene fromHamlet. It was quite a touch to hear thealarm and see the lights flashing, but theshow went on.

Artistic Director Steven Maler has beenbringing live Shakespeare to the BostonCommon each summer for 20 years. Theseperformances are presented free and havedrawn huge crowds over the years. CSC hasnow partnered with Babson College and willbe operating all year long. In November theywill be presenting Samuel Beckett’s “HappyDays” starring Brooke Adams and TonyShalhoub at Babson College.

Add chopped garlic and stir. Cover and fry overmedium/low heat until potatoes and veal are fork tender.Stir occasionally.

Optional: Add the wine, stir thoroughly and cover.Simmer over low heat about thirty seconds. Add salt and

pepper to taste. Remove from burner. Serves two.

NOTE: As a youngster, I remember Mama cleaning and boilingchicken feet to add to her homemade chicken soup. When Iquestioned the use of chicken feet, Mama told me that in herhomeland it was customary to use as many parts of the slaugh-tered animal as possible — like chicken feet and livers, pig’sfeet, veal kidneys, and tripe. They had lived during difficulteconomic times. Ironically it prepared them for life in the UnitedStates during the Great Depression. The meat markets ofBoston’s North End supplied them with all cuts of meats.

After I married my husband in 1949, my mother-in-lawfrequently prepared the above kidney recipe for us, knowingthat it was a favorite of my husband. Today, veal kidneys arescarcely seen in supermarkets. Bee/kidneys, more often avail-able, can be prepared in this same manner. However, our familystill prefers veal kidneys.

Seeing that October is Ital-ian Heritage Month in Mas-sachusetts, and I’m part ofthe committee that put all ofthis month’s events to-gether, I thought I wouldlook at the writings of an at-torney named AngeloBianchi. Many years ago, hewrote a document with thetitle, “I am an Italian Ameri-can.” Being a history profes-sor in my spare time, I oftenread the forthcoming wordswith pride:

I am an Italian American:My roots are deep in an an-cient soil, drenched by theMediterranean sun and wa-tered by pure streams fromsnow-capped mountains. Iam enriched by thousands ofyears of culture. My handsare those of the mason, theartist, the man of the soil.My thoughts have been re-corded in the annals ofRome, the poetry of Virgil,the creations of Dante andthe philosophy of BenedettoCroce.

I am an Italian American:From my ancient world,I first spanned the seas ofthe new world. I amCristoforo Colombo. I amGiovanni Caboto, known inAmerican history books asJohn Cabot, the discovererof the mainland of NorthAmerica. I am AmerigoVespucci, who gave hisname to the new world,America. First to sail on theGreat Lakes in 1679,founder of the territory thatbecame the State of Illinois,colonizer of Louisiana andArkansas, I am Enrico Tonti.

I am an Italian American:I am Filippo Mazzei, friend ofThomas Jefferson. My the-sis on the equality of manwas written into the Bill ofRights. I am William Paca,signer of the Declaration ofIndependence.

I am an Italian American:I financed the NorthwestExpedition of George RogersClark and accompanied himthrough the lands thatwould become Ohio, Indiana,Illinois, Wisconsin andMichigan. I am ColonelFrancesco Vigo. I mappedthe Pacific from Mexico toAlaska and to the Philip-pines, I am AlessandroMalaspina. I am GiacomoBeltrami, discoverer of thesource of the MississippiRiver in 1825. I created theDome of the United StatesCapital. They call me theMichelangelo of America. Iam Constantino Brumidi.

I am an Italian American:In 1904, I founded in SanFrancisco, the Bank of Italy,now known as the Bank ofAmerica, one of the largestfinancial institutions in theworld. I am Amadeo PeterGiannini. I am EnricoFermi, father of nuclear sci-ence in America. I am thefirst enlisted man to win theMedal of Honor in World WarII, I am John Basilone of NewJersey.

I am an Italian American:I am the million strong whoserved in America’s armiesand the tens of thousandswhose names are enshrinedin military cemeteries fromGuadalcanal to the Rhine. Iam the steelmaker in Pitts-burgh, the grower in theImperial Valley of California,the textile designer in Man-hattan, the moviemaker inHollywood, the homemakerand the breadwinner in10,000 communities.

I am an Italian American:without stint or reservation,loving this land as only onewho understands history, itsagonies and its triumphscan love it and serve it. I willnot be told that my contribu-tion is any less nor my role

not as worthy as that ofany other American. I willstand in support of thisnation’s freedom and prom-ise against all foes. My heri-tage has dedicated me to thisnation. I am proud of my fullheritage, and I shall remainworthy of it.

I am an Italian American:I decided to look atWikipedia and found a sec-tion with about 20 categoriesthat listed achievements byItalian Americans, thou-sands of Italian Americans.This made me as proud asthe words in the above story.

Last Saturday night, Ihelped to celebrate the100th anniversary of theSons of Italy in Massachu-setts. The table I sat at wascomposed of members of theRenaissance Lodge, thelodge I belong to. The subjectof who and what we arecame up in conversationand paralleled the words inmy story for this week. Itmade me happy that we asItalian Americans know ofthe accomplishments madeby people with vowels on theend of their names.

Earlier in the week, wehad the kickoff for October isItalian Heritage Month. Itwas held at the State Houseand one of the recipientsof an award was our ownpublisher/editor, PamDonnaruma. She, and herparents before her and hergrandfather from 1896 onhave been the voice of theItalian and Italian Americancommunity in Massachu-setts. I think their namesshould be listed in the storyof I am an Italian Ameri-can and in the pages ofWikipedia. What do youthink???

LEGAL NOTICEREQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS

MASSACHUSETTS PORT AUTHORITYTHOMAS P. GLYNN

CEO AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Run date: 10/10/14

The MASSACHUSETTS PORT AUTHORITY (Authority) is soliciting consulting services for MPA CONTRACT NO. M425, AIR RIGHTS GARAGE, D STREET, SOUTH BOSTON, MA. The Authority is seeking a qualifi ed multidisciplinary consulting fi rm or team, with proven experience, to provide professional services including planning, urban design, programming, design, resident engineering and construction related services relative to the design of a multi-level, multi-user parking facility on top of the structurally reinforced I-90 tunnel on Massport’s Core Block parcel in South Boston. The Consultant must be able to work closely with the Authority and other interested parties in order to provide such services in a timely and effective manner. The consultant shall demonstrate experience in several disciplines and including but not limited to Structural, Civil, Architectural, Urban Planning and Design, Parking Systems and Operations, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Vertical Transportation, Geotechnical, Landscape Architecture, Code Compliance, Environmental Permitting, Noise and Vibration, Cost Estimating & Project Controls, Lean Construction, Construction Phasing, and Sustainable Design. The scope of work shall include, but not be limited to program defi nition, permitting, preliminary design, fi nal design, bidding, construction phase services, cost estimating and resident engineering. The scope of the project includes the design and construction of a multi-level, approximately 1,700 space parking garage partially over the existing Interstate 90 tunnel structure built by the Central Artery and Tunnel Project (CA/T) on Massport’s Core Block parcel in South Boston. The project site is bounded by World Trade Center Avenue on the west, the Silver Line World Trade Center Station and ramps to the north, D Street to the east, and DB Street (interstate highway access ramp) and the Massport Haul Road to the south. The consultant will be expected to evaluate and recommend multiple parking garage sizes, programming concepts, confi guration, operations and management schemes, user groups, and access options. Given the project location, in addition to having an exterior design that is responsive to the project context, the project needs to creatively address solutions for the World Trade Center Avenue and D Street frontages including the potential for mixed-use. Massport and the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority are also currently seeking competitive proposals from development teams to design and build a Headquarters Hotel on the adjacent Parcel D-2, located to the south of the Core Block parcel. Once the HQ Hotel team has been designated, which is anticipated in Spring 2015, the Consultant for the Air Rights Garage will be expected to coordinate efforts with the Hotel team, particularly as it is anticipated that the HQ Hotel design will include pedestrian connections to the Air Rights Garage. Massport expects that this project will be built using a CM at Risk.

Amnesty Keeps GettingPushed Further Away

According to latest pub-lished polls, the question ofamnesty isn’t looking like agood campaign slogan any-more. While an overwhelm-ing number of Republicansoppose amnesty, (NO BIGSURPRISE there) latest num-bers on Democrats are aksishowing a big split on theissue.

Seems the only real sup-port for amnesty is comingfrom those advocacy groups,the U.S. Chamber of Com-merce and the leadership ofboth major parties. Cronycapitalism remains alive andwell in the Nation’s Capital.We know why, right? It is allabout cheap jobs and big prof-its. Welfare for the rich stilllives.

Open Borders AtThe White House

Recently, an invader wasable to scale the White Houselawn, run about 100 yards oflawn, enter the White Housefront door and make his wayinto the East Room beforegetting caught by the SecretService. What if this intruderhad been a Radical Islamistwearing a suicide vest? TheWhite House today might belooking like an empty park-ing lot.

As far as reports that theSecret Service are not beingallowed to use deadly force tostop any White House in-truder, doesn’t make anysense. If someone is runningtoward the front, doesn’t theSecret Service have an obli-gation to stop the guy? If hedoesn’t respond to orders,taking him out makes thebest sense. Otherwise, thinkabout the reaction had theWhite House gone KA-BOOM!

Sometimes there is a verygood reason to have securefences and borders. Other-wise, it could be open seasonon America.

Obama On CBS-TV’s“Sixty Minutes”

As far as I am concerned,“Sixty Minutes” of Sunday,September 28th seemed tolast about 59 minutes too

long. Our president took noblame for anything that wentwrong in Iraq, like he takesno blame for anything thatgoes wrong anywhere. Hewas quick to throw U.S. IntelChief James Clapper underthe bus as he talked abouthow “they” underestimatedISIS and what happened toIraq. Even Ed Schutz from theEd Show on MSNBC won-dered aloud why Obamanever says “we” or “I” whenthings go sour. You knowObama is in trouble whenMSNBC whacks him.

Obama couldn’t evenanswer a yes or no questionfrom Steve Croft aboutwhether or not we are at war.It all sounded silly. Seemslike our president is so outof the loop. Nothing is everhis fault. He even managedbefore the show ended toonce again throw PresidentBush under the bus whereClapper was earlier in thisinterview.

What IsPresident Obama?

Mark Levin, on his week-night national conservativetalk show, called Obama aliar for what he said to Croft.Local radio personality JeffKuhner called him a “warcriminal” who should be ontrial at The Hague. Toughwords, but Obama seems tohave them coming.

IS HE A LIAR? I think helikes misleading people. ISHE A WAR CRIMINAL? I thinkhe’s dumber at times than atree trunk. Someone has fi-nally come along and madePresident Jimmy Carter looklike a real rocket scientist.

Great CoalitionForce Too

Obama says 62 nations arefighting with us to stop ISIS,but less than a dozen are do-ing anything inside Syria.Not even Britain or France.Some coalition. This air warlooks good for TV, but whatare we doing to degradeand destroy? Most of thestrikes are at night. Whathappened to taking them outin the sunlight? Meanwhile,ISIS just laughs at us andkeeps adding recruits.

HOOPS and HOCKEY in the HUB

Gridiron Audibleswith Christian A. Guarino

They came around a cor-ner and took their seatson the podium — all five ofthem — a group that madepeople realize that therereally had been fireworks atthe TD Garden over the offseason.

They had been providedby a five-man team but itwasn’t of the basketballvariety as many had ex-pected. The management ofthe team in Green that per-forms on the fabled parquetfloor had been relativelysilent all summer and intothe early fall, despite thewidely publicized predictionby C’s co-owner Wyc Grous-beck that the aforemen-tioned fireworks wouldmake the summer of 2014one to remember.

So no, the individuals as-sembled on the podium atBruins Media Day had noth-ing to do with basketball.Those that were sitting be-fore the assembled mediamembers were the five menthat manage the affairs ofthe Black and Gold. And boy,had there been some fire-works around the rink oncethe ice had melted awayfollowing the B’s exit fromthe 2014 Stanley Cup play-offs last May.

It sure has been anactive time for BruinsPresident Cam Neely, GMPeter Chiarelli, head coachClaude Julien, owner Jer-emy Jacobs and his son,team principal CharlieJacobs.

The activities started earlyon when enforcer and fanfavorite Shawn Thornton leftfor the Florida Panthers aftera contract renewal offerwas not extended by the B’s,a decision that provokedrather caustic commentaryby his partisans who took tothe airwaves on sports talkradio.

Things were further spicedup when 61-point frontman Jarome Iginla took awalk on the B’s and signeda three-year, $16 millioncontract with the ColoradoAvalanche.

Then it was Chad John-son’s turn. The more thancapable backup to VezinaTrophy winner TuukkaRask decided he also couldearn more of a financialreturn elsewhere and wasoff to Long Island — sign-ing a two-year deal worth$2.6 million with the NewYork Islanders. Down there,he’ll still be a backup —to Jaroslav Halak — butearning quite a bit morethan he did on CausewayStreet.

People perhaps forget thatlast year Johnson actuallyplayed in 27 games — onethird of the Bruins regular

season schedule — andperformed so well (17-4-3record, 2.10 goals againstaverage and .925 save per-centage) that Julien atone point called the nightsthat Johnson got the call, “aseamless change.”

But now he’s gone and itcould be up to Niklas Sved-berg, who has only one NHLcontest under his belt, tohold up the ship on thenights that Rask needs arest. But he might be by-passed in favor of MalcolmSubban, a rising star for theB’s who has performed wellin Providence.

July development campcame and went, deliveringa player full of potential tothe B’s practice facilityin Wilmington. That wouldbe first round draft pickDavid Pastrnak, an 18-year-old from overseas whocaught the attention ofthe B’s coaching staff andmanagement.

All summer, people won-dered whether he wouldmake the team. He came tofall camp open to the newexperience. Asked in thefirst days what it might belike to scrimmage againstB’s star defenseman ZdenoChara (6-9, 255), he came upwith the perfect one-wordsound bite: “scary.”

A shoulder injury side-lined Pastrnak for most ofcamp and on Media Day itwas announced he had beensent to Providence, at leastfor the time being.

The biggest surprise of allcame four days beforethe season opener whenChiarelli announced thathe had traded defensemanJohnny Boychuk to theIslanders for a pair of draftpicks that can’t be useduntil the 2015 NHL Draftnext June.

That means that the B’s,who made the move to stayunder the NHL mandatedfinancial cap, won’t get any-one in return this season.No one liked the deal, evenChiarelli. And it hit the B’shard. The other departureshad come about when theplayers had dispersed for thesummer. This one occurredwhen they were together asa group — and thus it took acollective emotional toll.

A bright spot on Media Day:it was announced that BobbyRobins had made the team.A Wisconsin native whoplayed at UMass-Lowell, hehad bounced around thehockey world for nine yearsbefore earning a spot on theopening night roster.

It’s a quick start — sevengames in 11 nights. Sooner— rather than later — we’llhave an idea how theseBruins will shape up.

Just six days afterlooking like a hopelessteam versus KansasCity, the New EnglandPatriots trounced theNFL’s last remainingunbeaten team, theCincinnati Bengals, 43-17 at Gillette Stadiumlast Sunday night.

The Bengals were coming off a bye week,had given up a league-low 11 points pergame through the first three games of theseason, while only trailing for 48 secondsin those games. But on Sunday, the Patri-ots scored on the opening drive of the gameand never relented. For quarterback TomBrady the win proved to be a measure of vin-dication for a week of speculation as to hisregressing talent. “It’s hard to be obliviousto things. We all have TVs or the internet.”said Brady following the win in which hethrew for 292 yards with two touchdowns,zero interceptions and in the process,reached the 50,000 passing yard mark forhis career. “It’s a night I’ll never forget.”

The much maligned Patriots offensegained 505 yards and 30 first downs whilecontrolling the clock for over 38 minutes.

The offensive line, which had yet to puttogether a complete game this season, gaveBrady plenty of time to dissect the Bengalsdefense.

As opposed to their Monday night melt-down in Kansas City, the Patriots coach-ing staff brought a game plan versusthe Bengals. The two-tight end set ofGronkowski and Wright looked unstoppablecombining for 11 of Brady’s 23 completionsand a touchdown apiece. However, the run-ning game was the most impressive part ofthe offense with running backs StevanRidley, 27 carries for 113 yards, and ShaneVereen, 9 carries for 90 yards, slashingthrough the Bengals defense.

Prior to the game, Head Coach BillBelichick offered up his usual surly answerswhen asked about Brady, the failures ofthe offensive line and the reported “bench-ing” of wide receiver Aaron Dobson who had

been labeled a healthyscratch the previoustwo games. His trade-mark line of last weekwas “We’re moving onto Cincinnati.” Following

the game, in all his glory,the coach had onlyanother quick retort

when asked about the importance of the win,“It was the next game. It was good to win.”Well at least he’s consistent.

The night was special for a much moreimportant reason than a football game.Bengals defensive lineman Devon Still,whose 4 year-old daughter Leah is battlingpediatric cancer, was honored by the NewEngland Patriots organization. During thethird quarter of the game, the Patriotscheerleaders donned Stills’ #75 jersey whilea video featuring Leah and other childrenfighting a heroic battle with cancer wasplayed. It was a truly classy and touchingmoment, one that had Still’s in tears on thesideline. “It was very emotional to see thaton the board, my daughter and those otherbrave kids fighting cancer. It’s just veryemotional.” Still said after the game.

There are moments that football isn’t themost important topic, granted not manymoments, but this was one of them.

We’re moving on to Buffalo …
