After 20 Years, ‘ShawshankRedemption” Still Must See Film

I still love watching “Shawshank Redemption”which premiered back in the fall of 1994. ActorsTim Robbins and Morgan Freeman were great intheir roles in this prison classic. It remains amust-see movie. I put it right up there with the1966 classic “Cool Hand Luke” starring PaulNewman and George Kennedy. If you’re a guy, thecar wash scene is something else.

Mainstream GOP Rejoiced AfterBesting Tea Party Primary Foes

That was then but this is now. Over on MSNBC,the moonbat talking heads are gloating over theRepublican primary winners who now look introuble. In Oklahoma, the Dems are backing theDemocrat over US Sen. Tom Cochran, who theypushed over into victory over his Tea Party oppo-nent last spring. In Kansas, US Sen. Pat Robertslooks in bad shape against an Independent oppo-nent next month. Both seats could be lost to theGOP in the mid-term elections next month. Theyare smiling over at MSNBC which has to be badnews for mainstream Republicans.

Stories about Atlas aretold at least three timesin tales from mythology.The first one identifieshim as a son of theTitan Iapetus. Atlassupported the Titans intheir war against theforces of Zeus, and ofcourse we know that theTitans were defeated. Aspunishment, Atlas wasforced to hold the heav-ens on his shoulders for alleternity.

The second story is quiteinvolved: It starts with threesisters called the Gorgons.They were awful beings, withhair and girdles of snakes,and anyone who gazed uponthem was immediatelyturned to stone. One sister,named Medusa, was mortal,but the other two were im-mortal. Perseus, a Greekhero, was successful in amission to cut off Medusa’shead, and was bringing itback to his homeland in aleather bag. After travelingfor a full day he came uponthe realm of King Atlas. Theking was a huge man, whopossessed great wealth inherds and land. Most pre-cious to him was a beautifulgarden which containedgolden fruit, hanging frombranches of gold.

Perseus sought only foodand a place to rest for thenight. Atlas remembered anold proverb about being

robbed of his golden apples,so he refused hospitality tothe stranger. Greatly an-gered, Perseus then held upthe Gorgon’s head for Atlasto gaze upon, and this bulkof a king was immediatelyturned into stone. His hairand beard became wild for-ests, his arms became thesloping sides of a mountain,and his head became thesummit. According to thepleasure of the gods, heav-ens, with all its stars wasthen caused to rest upon theshoulders of Atlas.

The third story from my-thology concerning Atlas iscentered around the cel-ebrated “Labors of Hercules.”His ninth labor was to fetchthe golden apples of theHesperides. These goldenapples grew in the sacredgarden of Hera, wife of Zeus,and the Hesperides werethree daughters of Atlas, whowere assigned to cultivateand watch over the garden.The final item, setting the

stage for this last act, wasthat o Hercules beinginformed not to enter thesacred garden, but tosend Atlas, father of theHesperides, instead.

Hercules journeyed agreat distance and finallycame to the sacred gar-den of Hera. It waslocated near the spotwhere Atlas was holdingthe sky on his shoulders.

Remembering the advicethat had been given to him,Hercules offered to relieveAtlas of the weight tempo-rarily if he would gather thegolden apples from the gar-den. Atlas agreed, fetched theapples, and returned shortly.Hercules soon discoveredthat Atlas did not intend toresume his great burden,but instead, offered to deliverthe apples himself. Havingthis great weight on his backprevented Hercules from re-sorting to any kind of forceagainst Atlas. Through cau-tion and wit, Hercules pre-tended to agree to the pro-posal of Atlas, but begged himto hold the sky just longenough to permit a pad to beplaced upon his head. Thegullible Atlas laid the appleson the ground and took backthe sky. As soon as the weightwas transferred, Herculespicked up the golden fruit andstarted his journey home.

ATLAS, OTHER VERSIONS“We do not read even of the discovery of this continent, with-

out feeling something of a personal interest in the event; with-out being reminded how much it has affected our own fortunesand our own existence. It would be still more unnatural for us,therefore, than for others, to contemplate with unaffected mindsthat interesting, I may say that most touching and patheticscene, when the great discoverer of America stood on the deckof his shattered bark, the shades of night falling on the sea,yet no man sleeping; tossed on the billows of an unknownocean, yet the stronger billows of alternate hope and despairtossing his own troubled thoughts; extending forward his ha-rassed frame, straining westward his anxious and eager eyes,till Heaven at last granted him a moment of rapture and ec-stasy, in blessing his vision with the sight of the unknownworld.” — Daniel Webster, First Bunker Hill MonumentOration, 1825

In Boston we are surrounded by familiar sights — OldNorth Church, the Old State House, Old South MeetingHouse, and the other stops on the Freedom Trail — thatremind us of Boston’s unique Revolutionary War history.At 239 years distance from 1775, we are nearly two-and-a-half centuries removed from the beginning of the Ameri-can War of Independence. In like manner, 1775 was a bitmore than two-and-a-half centuries (283 years to be pre-cise) removed from Columbus’ discovery of the New World.Independence and the Revolutionary War mark not thebeginning, but the halfway point in the history of Europeancivilization in America.

In his remarks, quoted above, Mr. Webster, on the 50thanniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, traced the originsof the United States not to the Pilgrims and Plymouth Rock(although he mentions them in the oration), nor to the ear-lier English settlement of Virginia (not even mentioned byWebster), but to Christopher Columbus and his first “sightof the unknown world.”

Others came here earlier — possibly the Vikings, maybeother Europeans, and certainly the American Indians whoarrived most probably from Asia by land-bridge to Alaska.But Webster — and many of us concur — begins our historywith Columbus. All month we celebrate Italian-AmericanHeritage and we celebrate the brave and persevering Ital-ian navigator who opened the way for immigrants from ev-ery nation to settle in this New World and create the UnitedStates that remains, to quote again from Webster’s speech,“the last hope of mankind.” This is a phrase that will beechoed by Abraham Lincoln in his December 1862 AnnualMessage to Congress (“the last best, hope of earth”) andRonald Reagan in his January 1974 “We Will Be a City on aHill” speech (“the last best hope of man on earth”). God will-ing America shall continue for many years as a beacon ofliberty.

In September 2013, Aflac,a nationally known insur-ance company, filmed itsmascot “the Aflac duck”walking around a New YorkCity subway station duringrush hour as part of a newtelevision commercial. Didanyone ever see this com-mercial? Did it boost sales ofAflac’s supplemental insur-ance? The answer to bothquestions is “no.”

The reason? Within min-utes of the footage appearingon various social media out-lets, the animal rights advo-cacy group, PETA issued astatement that “a subwaystation is no place for a duck... we’re hopeful that in thefuture Aflac will leave liveducks out of its publicitystunts and use its creativepower to come up with akinder way to grab thepublic’s attention.”

When an Aflac spokesmanwas asked that, given thenegative feedback, would thecompany think twice beforetaking a farm animal intothe subway again, he re-plied, “Absolutely! We didn’tmean to ruffle any feathers.”

Fast forward one year toNew Year’s Eve 2014. Aflacunveils a new mobster-themed television commer-cial that has the Aflac duckkidnapped by mobsters and

taken for a ride in theirlimo. One of the actors isthat perennial characteractor cum “gangster,” FrankVincent of The Godfather and“The Sopranos.” The thugspat down the duck; threatenit; and then shove it from themoving limo.

The Sons of Italy Commis-sion for Social Justice® andother Italian anti-defama-tion groups contacted Aflac,charging that the commer-cial stereotypes ItalianAmericans. Our complaintswere ignored as was our re-quest to remove the com-mercial from the air. Talkabout “ruffling feathers!”

Is Aflac more responsive tothe treatment of a duck thanto the sensibilities of anestimated 18 to 26 millionpeople of Italian heritage?So it seems and unfortu-nately, Aflac doesn’t standalone. Thanks to the relent-less stereotyping of ItalianAmericans by the media,entertainment and advertis-ing, 74% of adult Americansbelieve that most ItalianAmericans have “some con-nection” to organized crime,according to a poll by thePrinceton-based ResponseAnalysis Corporation.

Italian Americans havebeen battling the typecast-ing of them as boorish and/

or violent since the early1970s and yet, as the Aflaccommercial demonstrates,the stereotyping is as preva-lent as ever. Why is that?

Part of the reason is thatas European Americans,Italian Americans are con-sidered members of the pro-tected white majority. Assuch, it is assumed that wedo not suffer prejudice or dis-crimination in housing,employment, and education.No discrimination? Then nosympathy when we protestabout commercials likeAflac’s or television showslike “The Sopranos.” “You’vemade it,” is the typicalresponse. “What are youcomplaining about? It’s onlya movie.”

They have a point. Wehave made it. Italian Ameri-cans are one of the nation’sbiggest success stories.More than a century ago, wecame here with nothing, todig the ditches, build therailroads, highways and sky-scrapers, sew in sweatshopsand do all the other menialjobs that the more estab-lished Americans turneddown.

There’s an old Chinese proverb about a picture beingworth a thousand words and recently our presidentshowed how true that proverb can be. A military saluteis a gesture signaling respect and is steeped in mili-tary tradition going back to the Knights of Camelot. Asalute from the Marines as he exits Marine One is asign of respect for the Office of President of the U.S.A.

Last week Obama stepped into it again when debark-ing Marine One in New York on his way into the UnitedNations to deliver a speech. At the foot of the copter’sstairs the Marine sergeant and corporal offered snappysalutes and there in the photo for all to see isthe President’s “whatever” response. He is holding astyrofoam cup filled with coffee in his right hand givingan at best *^# salute.

Better not to salute at all if you are going to keep thecup in your saluting hand. This shows great disrespectand of course the “coffee cup” salute tweet went viral ina bad way.

President Ronald Reagan started this tradition of thepresident returning a salute. Since 1981, Presidentssalute back as an act of respect for receiving a salute.Honor and tradition are important symbols and are partof tradition thanks to Reagan.

Personally I say not, butone can get pretty depressedby the latest news out of theUS Ninth District Court outin San Francisco that ruledrecently that students don’thave the liberty to wear anAmerican flag tee shirt. I kidyou not. It might offendMexican students celebrat-ing Cinco de Mayo. I am farfrom alone in calling this adirect assault on the FirstAmendment and our consti-tutional Republic.

On this past September17, more than four yearsafter Live Oak High Schoolin Morgan Hill, Californiasent students home forwearing U.S flag tee shirtsan 11-judge Ninth DistrictCourt of Appeals panel ruledit was the right choice tomake and was “tailored toavert violence and focusedon student safety.”

This decision upheld anearlier decision in a three-judge ruling in Februarythat justified the school’s ac-tions based on tensions be-tween Mexican and Ameri-can students. Since when isthe wearing of a U.S. flag ona shirt contributing to a pos-sible violent disturbance. Afterall they could have cancelledthe recognition of “Cinco deMayo” which actually isn’t abig deal in Mexico.

I am not making any ofthis up. Just because thesight of the American flags

upset Mexican studentsdoesn’t mean you ban theAmerican flag from sight,does it?

The lawyer for the studentssaid this case will end upin the U.S. Supreme Court.By the way, most of theappeal courts usually getoverturned by the Supremesand this one probably willtoo. Does the school nowban “Obama” tee shirtswhen they upset conserva-tive students?

You know what’s reallyfunny about this recentSeptember 17th ruling? Sep-tember 17th is a part of U.S.history. On the day the rul-ing was made, it was the200th anniversary of thefirst printing of “The StarSpangled Banner.” The songcelebrated the Battle of Bal-timore in which America de-feated the British during theWar of 1812, September 17th

is also the birthday of theU.S. Constitution which wascreated on that date in 1787.

Our rights and freedomswere born on September 17,1787 and defended again onSeptember 17, 1814. Ameri-cans long ago founded thisRepublic and over the gen-erations have fought and diedto keep us a free nation.

This latest judicial deci-sion should upset all Ameri-cans. It is a time to closeranks. Whether you areliberal, conservative, Demo-crat or Republican, thiscourt decision violated thevery principles upon whichAmerica’s foundation rests.This is something worthstanding together over.

The actions of this federalAppeals Court in San Fran-cisco must not be allowed tostand or our Constitutionand Bill of Rights becomemeaningless!

Is it Twilight’s Last Gleaming for America?THE FOURTH AMENDMENT AND ITS ATTENDANT RIGHT OF PRIVACY

WAS BORN IN THE NORTH END OF BOSTON!While many Americans consider 1776 as

the birth year of our nation, it was actuallythe signing of the United States Constitutionin 1789 and its ratification by the last colonyin 1791 that established America’sgovernmental structure. Of the many funda-mental rights articulated in the U.S.Constitution, the Fourth Amendment’s rightto be free from unreasonable searches andseizures continues to be just as contestedand relevant today as it was during thoserevolutionary times on the streets ofBoston’s North End.

On September 24, 1766 near the presentday corner of North Bennett Street andHanover Street stood “one of the most activemerchants on the popular side [who] wasproportionately hated and abused by theCrown” named Daniel Malcolm againstBenjamin Hallowell, the Comptroller of theCustoms of the Port of Boston, and a mannamed Sheafe, the Deputy Collector. Themen approached Malcolm’s home with a Writof Assistance, which was an extremely broadgeneral grant of authority to search acolonist’s home without any articulable factsshowing reason or cause, specificity, ordescription of what is likely to be foundtherein. A Deputy Sheriff was also presentto search the home and seize goods thatMalcolm allegedly failed to pay as requisitecustoms duties. The men were greeted byMalcolm with “sword and pistols” and“threats of death” if anyone attempted tosearch his home.

The officers retreated, and shortlythereafter, the Colonial Council, headed bythe Governor, convened to determine whatthey needed to do to enforce the Writ. TheCouncil determined that they possessed theauthority to use any means necessary toenforce the writ and could intervene whennecessary. Nonetheless, they determinedthat their action was not necessary becausethe sheriff has “posse comitatus” authority,which grants law enforcement officers tocommand any person to assist them withtheir duties.

Under the guise of such authority,Hallowell, Sheafe, and the Sheriff returnedto Malcolm’s home. When they arrived,a “great number of people” greeted theofficers and “most credible” members of thecrowd informed the officers that if theyattempted to enter the house, they “wouldbe in danger of their lives.” Meanwhile,Malcolm remained in his home with allthe windows and doors shut. The Sheriffapproached the crowd and calmly attemptedto explain the situation, but members of thecrowd demanded that the Customs Officerfirst attest, under oath, to the name of theinformant. The crowd remained firm thatthe customs officer must swear to theidentity of the informer before the warrantcan be valid. As the sun slowly fell in thesky, the crowd continued to grow while thediscourse between the people and the sheriffcontinued. Eventually, the officers deter-mined that any further attempts to enterMalcolm’s home would be fruitless, and theyleft the scene without successfully enteringhis home.

Years later on March 2, 1780, theMassachusetts Declaration of Rights, setthese principles down as essential rights ofthe newly independent Commonwealth.John Adams, a staunch opponent of the

unrestricted searches and seizures, draftedthe Massachusetts Constitution and waspresent at Attorney James Otis’s speech in1761 on the Writs of Assistance. Adams usedOtis’s language, writing, “every subject hasa right to be secure from all unreasonablesearches and seizures of his person, hishouses, his papers, and his possessions”.Today the Fourth Amendment to the U.S.Constitution codifies the right to be freefrom unreasonable searches by stating that:

The right of the people to be secure in theirpersons, houses, papers, and effects, againstunreasonable searches and seizures, shall notbe violated, and no warrants shall issue, butupon probable cause, supported by oath oraffirmation, and particularly describing theplace to be searched, and the persons or thingsto be seized.

Most recently, on June 25, 2014, the U.S.Supreme Court unanimously ruled thatofficers must obtain a warrant beforesearching cell phones and other electronicdevices. Furthermore, the Court concludedits opinion by recounting the incidentsdiscussed above stating:

Our cases have recognized that the FourthAmendment was the founding generation’sresponse to the reviled “general warrants” and“writs of assistance” of the colonial era, whichallowed British officers to rummage throughhomes in an unrestrained search for evidenceof criminal activity. Opposition to such searcheswas in fact one of the driving forces behind theRevolution itself. In 1761, the patriot James Otisdelivered a speech in Boston denouncing theuse of writs of assistance. A young John Adamswas there, and he would later write that “[e]veryman of a crowded audience appeared to me togo away, as I did, ready to take arms againstwrits of assistance.” According to Adams, Otis’sspeech was “the first scene of the first act ofopposition to the arbitrary claims of GreatBritain. Then and there the child Independencewas born.”

Modern cell phones are not just anothertechnological convenience. With all they containand all they may reveal, they hold for manyAmericans “the privacies of life.” The fact thattechnology now allows an individual to carrysuch information in his hand does not makethe information any less worthy of the protectionfor which the Founders fought. Our answer tothe question of what police must do beforesearching a cell phone seized incident to anarrest is accordingly simple — get a warrant.

Similarly and earlier, on February 18,2014, the Massachusetts Supreme JudicialCourt reached the same result disallowingwarrantless searches of cell phones underthe Massachusetts Declaration of Rights.

Today with police searches of cell phonesupon arrest without warrants, the revela-tions of the NSA surveillance of ordinaryAmericans, secret warrants issued by theFISA courts, and use of drones, it is enoughfor every American to question and join thedebate over the limits of the government’sauthority and power. The post-9/11 world hasmade many Americans all too accepting ofthese searches. As Americans, let us notforget the United States of America aroseas a new independent nation from theoppressive grip of the British Empire’sgeneral searches and that these freedomsthat helped define America’s preciousliberties were actually born in the North Endof Boston.

Quote To Forget Now“We leave behind a stable

and self reliant Iraq.”- President Obama, 2011

Letter WriterMoonbats Medicare

A letter writer not long agoin the Boston Herald whileslamming opponents ofObamacare over the fact that60 percent of state residentsare receiving state fundedcare by opining, that “Itwould be better for us tohave improved Medicare forall.” In reality, she musthave meant Medicaid for allbecause that does seemlike America’s future,doesn’t it?

No It Doesn’t“In the end, none of this

matters, because ISIS is des-tined to die on its own.People like this ultimatelyfail. They fail, because thefuture is won by those whobuild and not destroy.”

President Obama, August20, 2014Here’s What I Herad Him

Say At The U.n.The enemy of my enemy

of my friend of my enemy ofmy friend of my enemy ismy friend. While we bombthe J.V. team that doesn’thave Kobe Bryant, these doc-tors, dentists, farmers andpharmacists will provideground support.

I Oppose Open BordersBut ...

Opens of open borders arecorrect about the need tosecure our southern borderfrom both illegals and poten-tial ISIS warriors but we justcan’t blame every new ill-ness such as Enterovirus-68or Ebola on lack of bordersecurity. No need to jumpconclusions, stick to thefacts. Liberals love hearingoutrageous statements byconservatives. Don’t feed

them ammunition to pokefun at us.Is Hillary Ready To Run?Doesn’t it on depend on

what the meaning of theword ‘is’ is and anyways,what difference at this pointdoes it make?Workplace Violence Again

Out in Oklahoma late lastweek a disgruntled employeerecently fired for trying toconvert his co-workers toIslam returned to his jobwith a large knife andstarted stabbing two womenin the office. One womanwas killed by getting be-headed by the culprit. Thesecond woman was savedwhen the company’s CEOalso a reserve police officershot him. The guy didn’tdie and the second victimsurvived

Was this an act of terror-ism by a Radical Islamist andISIS supporter or was he justpsychotic. The local policeand FBI are calling it work-place violence like out inFort Hood, Texas. JeffKuhner on WRKO Radio won-ders aloud was it an act ofterrorism? Sometimes youneed to let the dust settlebut when a recently con-verted Muslim beheads awoman it does sound like hewas a lone wolf terrorist tome and many others. Youdon’t have to be taking directorders from ISIS to be a lonewolf.

The world continues to be-come more violent daily andwe wonder what will co menext. The federal govern-ment keeps steering theconversation away from ter-rorism and toward workplaceviolence. With that kind oflogic, wasn’t the MarathonBombings a case of sportsviolence?

I am glad the guy in Okla-homa wasn’t killed. Maybewe can find out his motiva-tion in his ISIS copy-catcrime.

I write this commentarywith anguish. For a two weekperiod leading up to the airwar over Syria, we tele-graphed our intentions tothe world that we were com-ing. Yet, our enemies talk in“peanut butter and jelly’ codeto keep us in the dark.

Earlier this week whenthe missiles were fired, theytook out lots of empty build-ings on the ground andperhaps a mere 20 ISISfighters. On the first day ofthis “Obama’s War” in Syria,47 Tomahawks missileswere launched. One Demo-cratic congresswoman saidwe were degrading ISIS, butin fact, we are only in thedisrupt phase of “degradeand destroy.

Last week the Presi-dent received congressionalauthority to train and armSyrian rebels, but neverasked for authority to bombSyria days later. The ObamaWhite House is still usingthe 2002 war authorizationwhich President George W.Bush requested in theweeks following the 9/11attacks.

Of course, after the mis-siles were fired, the Penta-gon reported that a newAl Qaeda spinoff, calledKhorasan, is an immedi-ate threat to America andEurope. This threat gaveObama constitutional justi-fication for going solo again,didn’t it?

This past Thursday morn-ing, I heard President Obamaspeaking on the radio talk-ing about preparing the Syr-ian rebels to take on the ISISthreat and President Assad.WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! Presi-dent Assad? Didn’t the Pen-tagon just give advancednotice to both the leaders inTehran and President Assadthat our intentions werefocused on getting Islamicterrorists and not Iran orAssad’s control of Syria?

Attention moon-bat Dem-ocrats, stop calling thisBush’s fault. That war endedyears ago. This war belongsto Obama and Obama alone.The Obama White House isnow saying this struggle willtake years — three years —so this president will bekicking the can off to thenext president. Isn’t thatwhat all the moonbats

accused Bush of doing? Bythe way, do these liberalsknow that the 47 missileslaunched on Day One ofObama’s War were treatedas much ado about nothing.Empty buildings destroyedand 20 dead terrorists onthe ground. Each missile bythe way cost $1.5 million.Moonbats do the math. Useyour Common Core. That’sover $70 million the firstday. Can you add up threeyears worth of war inSyria?

By the way, does any-one out there think thatObama’s channeling of Gen-eral Eisenhower doesn’thave anything to do with theupcoming mid-term elec-tions? I wouldn’t be sur-prised to see the Democratsretain control of the U.S.Senate when the electionsare over. Then, I wouldn’t besurprised to seeing the Waron Syria take on a shortershelf life as well.

I know many of my read-ers think I am a conserva-tive ideologue but I am nosuch thing. Neither am I aRepublican. I am, however,an American born in post-World War II who haswatched America’s fall fromgrace as a world leader.America is a unique nationas our founders saw it. Weare an experiment in self-government. No other na-tion on Earth can compareto us. But we need to standfor something more than thenext election cycle.

We have more enemiesout there today than we hadduring the Cold War of myyouth. We need to remainstrong against all threatsand stand up for our values.

Bottom line, this War onSyria as an air war cannotbe won without boots on theground; somebody’s boots.Preferably boots we cantrust. Air war alone cannotdefeat ISIS on the ground orthe homegrown fanaticswaiting to surprise us athome. We need good intelli-gence and plenty of bootson the ground. I am wary ofthe Free Syrian Army.Whose side are they on andwhat do they ultimatelyseek?

Just when you don’t thinkthings could get any worse,they do!

Foundress of theUrsulines, Angela was bornon March 21, 1474, atDesenzano del Garda, asmall town on Lake Garda inLombardy. She was left anorphan at the age of 15 andtogether with her elder sis-ter went to live at the homeof her uncle in the neighbor-ing town of Salo where theyled simple and holy lives.When her sister passedaway suddenly without beingable to receive the last sac-raments, Angela was terri-bly distressed. She becamea tertiary of St. Francis andoffered her prayers and mor-tifications for the repose ofher sister’s soul. In heranguish she prayed Godto reveal to her the condi-tion of her deceased sister.It is said that in a vision sheexperienced, she was sat-isfied her sister was inheaven.

When she was twentyyears old, her uncle died,and Angela returned to herhome at Desenzano. Con-vinced that the great needof her time was a betterinstruction of young girls inthe basic elements of Chris-tian Faith, she convertedher home into a schoolwhere she daily gathered allthe little girls of Desenzanoand instructed them on the

tenants of the ChristianFaith.

According to tradition, in1524, while making a pil-grimage to the Holy Land,she became suddenly blindwhen she was on the islandof Crete. She continued herjourney to the Holy Placesand was cured on her returnwhile praying before a cru-cifix at the same placewhere she was struck withblindness a few weeksbefore.

In 1525, she went to Rometo gain the Indulgences ofthe Jubilee year. Pope Clem-ent VII, who had heard ofher virtue and success withher school, invited her toremain in Rome. Angeladisliked notoriety, and shesoon returned to Brescia.

On November 25, 1535,

Saint Angela Mericiby Bennett Molinari and Richard Molinari

Angela organized a group of12 girls to help her incatechetical work. Fouryears later the group hadincreased to 28. She formedthem into the Company ofSt. Ursula (patroness ofmedieval universities andvenerated as a leader ofwomen) for the purpose ofre-Christianizing family lifethrough solid Christian edu-cation of future wives andmothers. The members con-tinued to live at home, hadno special habit and took noformal vows, though theearly Rule prescribed thepractice of chastity, povertyand obedience. The idea ofa teaching congregationof women was new and tooktime to develop. The com-munity thus existed asa secular institute untilsome years after Angela’sdeath. When she died inBrescia on January 27,1540, there were some 24branches of the Company ofSt. Ursula serving theChurch. Her body wasclothed in the habit of aFranciscan tertiary andinterred in the Church ofSt. Afra, Brescia.

Saint Angela was beatifiedin 1768, by Pope ClementXIII, and canonized in 1807.Her feast is celebrated onJanuary 27th.

You can email your questions to [email protected] to theattention of Freeway. Don’t forget folks, Freeway is not a vet,so please keep the questions light-hearted! Thanks.

After you have determinedthe type of dog you’re look-ing for, the next question is“where do I go to get my dog?”First and foremost, do not getyour puppy from a pet shop.Often those puppies do notcome from reputable breed-ers. You don’t want to startyour new relationship withyour puppy having to dealwith socialization issues andother kinds of trauma thatpuppies in sub-par facilitiesoften experience. You wantyour first days with your newdog to be joyful and fun. Andmost important of all, youwant a happy, healthy, andwell-adjusted dog, not a sickor traumatized one.

Getting a Puppy from aBreeder: There are a lotof reputable breeders allaround the country. Youshould be prepared to ask thebreeder some questions. If abreeder is unwilling to showyou where their dogs arehoused or who tries to avoidquestions (such as whetheror not the puppy has beenexposed to different peoplewhile growing up) he mightbe a backyard breeder or apuppy mill. Please be awarethat those puppies can beseverely traumatized beforeyou get them. A reputablebreeder will ask you ques-tions that will reveal yourwillingness and ability tocare for this dog. They shouldbe quizzing you as much asyou should be quizzing them!That shows that the breedercares about their dogs. Themore questions you askabout how the puppy hasbeen raised, the better youwill know what to expect.Also, be sure to meet thepuppy’s mother too. Is she aconfident, friendly dog? Herdemeanor will be indicativeof her puppies’ demeanor asthey age.

Getting a Puppy from aShelter: If you do not careabout having a purebred dog,then visit a shelter. Thereare loads of dogs that end upin shelters every year thatneed a home. Puppies usu-ally go fast, but you can stillfind them in the shelter!

If you are willing to giveyour heart to an older dog,you will have a great com-panion. Most of them are sograteful for just a little walkand the companionship; youcould have a great matchthere!

Finding a Puppy Online:If you can’t find what youare looking for from a localbreeder or at your localanimal shelter, then youmight want to check online.There are lots of reputablebreeders online as well. Andof course, most sheltershave websites too. The mostimportant thing here is that

FreewaySays ...

you don’t just look at the pic-ture, look at the energy ofthe animal and ask, “Am Ithe right owner for you?”

You can ask if the dog hasany behavior issues and ifthose issues are going to bea problem if you decide toadopt the dog. Don’t be afraidto look at dogs online. It is agreat way to practice ener-getic communications.

Ask Important Questions:The most important thinghere is to ask yourself somequestions first, and ask yourpotential dog a lot of ques-tions. Keep in mind, the dogthat runs to you and climbsin your lap is not by default“your” dog or the best dog foryou. He just might be themost confident or pushy (ordominant) one.

Just the same, the onehiding from you does nothave to be your least likelychoice either. He might justbe extra shy (or submissive)and quiet. Who knows, thatmight be just what you arelooking for! And it’s worthmentioning that the PitbullTerrier might not be thebreed you need to avoid af-ter all. Some Pitbulls aresuper friendly and loyal andthe shelters are full of them.What it all comes down to isthis: take the time to askthe dog and yourself if youare a match energetically.Also, try to approach all ofthis with ease and joy.Rather than fearing that youmight get it all wrong. Thereis the beauty of knowing,and I can almost guaranteeyou that you will know! Inthe end, there is this beau-tiful truth about it all, whicha lot of dog owners will tellyou: Actually your dog willpick you as the owner. Youjust have the illusion thatyou were the one to pick yourdog!

There are so manychoices and I am certaineverything will work out justfine. I think back to 15 yearsago, my human companionnever wanted another doguntil I came into her lifeand we bond each and everyday. Love is a bond of trust,caring, affection and uncon-ditional love, being there foreach other, as we have beenall these years and we hopeto have many more yearstogether.

Hope you enjoyed myarticle and on that note,PLEASE REMEMBER thatI, Freeway, will be havingdoggie Halloween at thePost-Gazette on Thursday,October 30th and Friday,October 31st from 10:00 amto 7:00 pm. So PLEASEdrop by and pick up yourpooches Halloween TreatBag.

SHERIFF TOMPKINSKNOWS WHAT TO DO

Recently, Sheriff SteveTompkins won re-electionwith ease. He worked veryhard during the campaignand it paid off at the primary.The Suffolk County SheriffDepartment runs two cor-rections facilities, South Bayand Nashua Street. The de-partment has the responsi-bility of care, custody andcontrol of those being held,85 percent are sentencedbecause of drug use, 42 per-cent have some form of men-tal illness and 65 percent areLatino or African American.

Tompkins, since appointedto the job, faces a challengeof making sure that thosewho are incarcerated neverreturn, rather becoming con-tributing members of soci-ety. As opposed to sheriffs inother parts of the country,here in this region, the jobof a sheriff is to push educa-tion and to advocate forresources to address detoxand mental health issues.The bottom line for Tomp-kins is to stem the tide ofrecidivism.

He views the returning ofany inmate as a failure of thesystem, which is why he isa reformer trying to keeppeople out from behind bars.

I look forward to Tompkinsputting the election behindhim and working to helpmake society safer for allincluding for those who madesome wrong turns in theirlives.

OMG, GET A LIFE,THIS ISN’T TV

Recently, I read the sadnews story about Freddie, aBoston carriage horse whoreportedly dropped dead onthe job at a Watertown func-tion. It was very sad. Ithought of the horse whowas rather old as far ashorses go. I see those tour-ist horse carriages all thetime around Quincy Marketand know that drivers lovetheir horses. It must havebeen horrible to see Freddiejust drop dead like that.

However, a letter writer,who apparently is opposedto horse-drawn carriages,

called on Massachusettsofficials to exhume the bodyand do a full investigation.Sounds like a cross between“CSI-Boston” and “Law &Order SVU.”

You would think theprompt burial meant thatthere might have been foulplay. OMG, life isn’t a TV copshow all the time.

SEAN HANNITY RADIOSHOW BACK ONBOSTON RADIO

The Sean Hannity RadioShow is back on in Bostonon WUFC, 1510AM at 3:00pm weekdays. It has been awhile since Hannity’s popu-lar radio show has aired inthe Boston market. It is goodlistening to him again.

Though recently, I had toswitch him off when hestarted ranting about hisdogs endlessly. I am glad helikes dogs, but that’s notwhy I listen to him or watchhim later on the Fox NewsChannel weeknights .

Recently he hosted what hecalled a debate on corporalpunishment with the AdrianPeterson story still a hottopic. Instead of moderatingthe debate, he sided with thepro-punishment conserva-tive and basically sand-bagged the liberal guy whosaid Peterson committed acrime by the beating he gavehis four year old boy.

I actually was agreeingwith the liberal guy on theissue and thought Hannity

seemingly crossed the lineby ganging up on him.

MICHELLE CAME TOTOWN FOR COAKLEY

Personally, I like it betterwhen Michelle Obama wasjust ranting about kidsgetting too fat in America.She can cause little harmthere. However, recently sheshowed up in Boston to helpMartha Coakley raise fundsto beat Republican CharlieBaker for governor. NationalDemocrats want to hold onto this governor’s seat badly.

Democrats know thatmany Steve Grossman pri-mary voters seem to be slid-ing over to Baker. Coakleybarely won the primary afterhaving a large lead in thepolls and Democrats are get-ting nervous. can you say“2010 US Senate Race”???

The History of Animation:Disney’s Golden Features

THOUGHTS by DANAbout This & That

with Daniel A. DiCenso

The rewards from Snow White were manyfor Walt Disney, but the most lasting onewas the funding for a bigger expanded studio.If animated features were going to be hisfuture, he needed a production crew, no twoways about it. The $8 million success ofSnow White made this more than a just awish upon a star and by 1939 Disney wasable to begin building a new studio inBurbank to accommodate his growing staffand needs, who began moving out of the oldstudio on Hyperion Ave. By the spring of1940, Burbank had become Walt Disney’sofficial headquarters and remains the studiolocation to this day.

Artistically, 1940 proved to be Disney’s bestyear. Eager to repeat the success of SnowWhite, Walt got fast to work on his next ani-mated feature. In February of 1940, theworld saw Pinocchio. The critics and audi-ences were equally thrilled. It could notreturn the same box-office as its predeces-sor for a reason that Walt did not foresee:WWII, which closed out much of the Euro-pean market. But the legacy of Pinocchio hassurvived its initial disappointing financialsuccess. It remains not only Disney’s bestwork, but also one of the very best animatedfilms of all time. Its chief assets are theunforgettable cast of characters from thelittle wooden boy who dreams of being a realboy, the enduring popularity of JimminyCricket, who expanded his role from CarloCollodi’s story for the film and then becamean unofficial story-teller for other Disneyworks, and a delightful rogues gallery rang-ing from the amusing (Honest John andGideon), to the conniving (Stromboli and thewicked Coachman), to the terrifyingMonstro the Whale.

More than any other work, Pinocchio provesDisney’s insight that story mattered morethan anything else in the success of hisfilms and his development of a full-fledgedstory department proved a smart move. In-deed, Pinocchio is a marvelously excitingfilm. The story moving at a perfect pace asit balances laughs, fears, and terror. Theanimation is as rich as ever, making greatuse of the multi-plane camera as it zoomscloser into the village where Geppetto’sworkshop is. Pinocchio has remainedan animated classic in the truest senseand may well be Walt Disney’s crowningachievement.

Disney’s next feature began life as aMickey Mouse short. By the end of the 30sWalt saw that his star’s popularity was be-ing eclipsed by Donald Duck, who had re-cently been granted his own cartoon series.With the hopes of reviving the Mouse’s fame,Walt planned an elaborate short st to clas-sical music employing all of the new inno-vations developed during Snow White. Foradvice on this ambitious venture, Walt metwith legendary composer Leopold Stokowskiat a gala party and proposed his idea.Stokowski suggested turning the wholething into a sort of “concert feature” madeup of several segments featuring animationset to classical music pieces. It didn’t takelong for Walt to agree and set to work on theproject that would become Fantasia. Thiswas unlike anything Disney (or any other

studio for that matter) ever did before. LikeSnow White, it would create the need fornew technology, including a process forsound amplification Walt distributed totheaters showing the film, a system hecalled “Fantasound”. It was an anthology filmfeaturing not only the music of differentcomposers but varying animation anddesigns. Abstract images accompany Bach’sToccata and Fugue in D Minor, dancingflowers, mushrooms, and fish frolic toTchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite, the gods ofMount Olympus celebrate a harvest festi-val before Zeus rains on their party in aninterpretation of Beethoven’s PastoralSymphony, Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring goesto a prehistoric setting where dinosaursbattle, the originally conceived MickeyMouse short became an interpretation ofPaul Dukas’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, andwas one of the best sequences along withthe delightfully animated dancing hippos andostriches set to Ponchielli’s Dance of theHours and the brilliant, intense, and atmo-spheric images set to Mussorgsky’s Night onBald Mountain.

At first audiences and critics were takenaback at the radical new direction of theanimated cartoon, but few denied theartistic beauty and stunning visuals ofFantasia, which is, to my estimation, one ofthe finest examples of the art of animationand its possibilities.

By the early 1940s, Walt Disney hadpractically eliminated the threat from rivalanimators that had kept him on his heelsin the 30s. He was the undisputed king ofanimation for the new decade. Ah, but evenin the happiest place on earth, there wastrouble brewing and the compartmentaliza-tion of Disney’s staff created a hierarchythat soon led to resentment among theanimators. In 1941, the Disney animatorswent on strike and Walt lost his principles.He became something of a bullying boss,punishing even his best veteran artists likethe legendary Art Babbitt for their partici-pation. The strike of 1941 was a turningpoint for Disney on a personal, if not artis-tic level. He became far more controlling ofthe goings-on within his studio and, perhapsas a subconscious form of revenge againstunions, became a testifying voice when JoeMcCarthy took his witch-hunt to Hollywooda decade later. But even among trouble,great work was done and two other Disneyclassics appeared during the strike; Dumboand Bambi. The strike was ultimatelysettled while Walt was away on a tour ofLatin America as part of the RooseveltAdministration’s Good Neighbor Policy.The strike went away, albeit with a price(Walt lost some of his best animators as aresult), but on December 7, 1941, Ameri-can life changed forever and so did the ani-mation industry…and not exactly for theworse either. Meanwhile though, it’s worthlooking at what was up with the growinglooney gang at Warner Bros. animationstudio.


Tonno in agrodolce (serve quattro)4 fette di tonno fresco

alte circa 2 cm6 cucchiai di aceto di vino3 cipolle bianche o rosse

2 cucchiaini di zuccheroOlio Extra vergine di Olivasale e pepe q.b.

In Sicilian dialect, “pipi ardusi cunzati” means roasted pep-pers that are “cunzati” (“prepared”) with some type of dress-ing or seasoning. This recipe complements very well the “tonnoin agrodolce” or any other “secondo piatto” (second course); itcan also just be served as an “antipasto” (appetizer). Preserv-ing the many Italian regional dialects and teaching them to thefuture generations is both important and necessary.

Pipi ardusi cunzati(Sicilian style roasted peppers)

Preparation: roast the peppers in a 400 degree oven ordirectly on a gas stove, when they are dark on all sides,peel them, remove the seeds and cut them into strips.

• Socially Scene (Continued from Page 9)

It was a Saturday morningat the beginning of Octoberand there was a knock at thekitchen door, the door thatled into our 3rd floor apart-ment on Eutaw Street inEast Boston. The only prob-lem was that it was about5:30 a.m. Dad and I arrivedat the door at the same timewith both of us grumbling.Dad had played the nightbefore and gotten in about1:30 a.m. This meant thathe was answering the doorwith about 4 hours of sleepor less. Once the door wasopened, the visitor held up asprig of 3 red grapes. It wasGrandpa Christoforo, and itwas time to make wine.

Mom was a light sleeperand came out of the bedroomsecuring her robe as sheheaded for the stove. Therewas a sleepy, “Bon Giorno,”and within minutes, therewere two pots of coffee brew-ing on the stove, one Ameri-can and the other Italian.Dad and Grandpa exchangedthe events of the week asthey sipped their respectivecups of coffee. After a sip ortwo, Grandpa said to me, “Minipote, prenda una bottigliade cognac, per favore.” (Mygrandson, bring a bottle ofcognac, please.) After Iplaced the bottle in front ofmy grandfather, he poured adecent sized shot in his cof-fee cup and filled the rest ofthe space with Italian coffee.After a sip and then anotherjust to make sure, he smiledand said, “Ah, questo ebuono.” (Oh, this is good.)

Once we were washed,dressed and down the stairs,we climbed into Dad’s beatup 37 Plymouth and headedto Grandpa’s house onChelsea Street near San-tarpio’s Restaurant. AsGrandpa headed down thecellar stairs, Dad and I en-tered the first floor apart-ment and said hello toGrandma. Within a few min-utes, the bacon she began tofry overpowered the smell ofwine that surrounded us inthe cellar.

Grandpa showed Dad thecases of grapes he bought atthe produce market. Eachyear, he would order grapesfrom France or Italy, as heconsidered American grapesinferior to what was grownin Europe. He and Dad beganopening the cases of grapes,and began removing themfrom the vines. If there wereany leaves, they too would beremoved. After Grandpa in-spected the piles, we placedthem in a large cylindricalvat. Above the vat was a

wheel shaped cover that wassuspended from a frame bya worm gear apparatus.Once the vat was filled to acertain level, Grandpaplaced a long iron bar in around opening in the wormgear and began turning itclockwise. This lowered thewheel shaped lid down ontothe grapes. He would con-tinue this operation untilthe lid crushed the grapesand the juice started fillingthe vat. Once the grapeswere all crushed, he beganfilling a bucket with thegrape juice and poured theliquid into a giant sized cask.He continued this until allof the juice had been trans-ferred, and then had turnedthe iron bar so the lid couldcontinue to crush what wasleft of the grapes.

The gauges atop the caskwere adjusted by my grand-father and then, what lookedlike sugar was added intothe mix before the plug waswedged into the cask to sealthe top.

Just then, Uncle Jim ap-peared. Jim Dello Russo wasDad’s brother-in-law, hissister’s Mary’s husband. Helooked over the operationafter greeting everyone, andasked how many gallonswere going to be produced.Grandpa told him he wasmaking 50 gallons. Dad said50 should get you throughthe year. Grandpa shruggedand said, “Chissa, chissa.”(Perhaps, perhaps) And, so itwent.

Checking with friends, itseems that almost no onemakes homemade winethese days. Grandpa’s gen-eration is gone, and for themost part, so is Dad’s. I havethought about trying it withmy cousin Ralph Pepe, butneither of us have the time.I am not a wine drinker dueto a reaction I get from thepreservatives that are foundin wine in the U.S. The FDArequires additives to be in-cluded in imported wines,and I think domestic winestoo. If I drink wine with thepreservatives, nitrates ornitrites, I’m not sure whichthey add in, but my sinusesbegin to get stuffed and myfingers swell. As a result, Iwill only try a wine if I’m inEurope or at someone’shome where homemadewine is available. Usually,neither of these contain pre-servatives and I can enjoy ared or white with my dinner.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m noexpert when it comes towines. I either like or don’tlike. When I was a kid, I was

allowed to have a little ofBabbononno’s wine at Sun-day family dinners. By thetime I was born, my mater-nal grandfather had stoppedmaking wine. He would getwhat he needed from hisbrother-in-law, and bestfriend, Antonio Ceruolo.Zi’Antonio made deliciouswine and Babbononno con-sidered him the best winemaker in either East Bostonor the North End. My greatuncle made several types ofwine, but a smooth red washis forte. It could be con-sumed with almost anythingexcept delicate fish. He didmake a white wine whichwas compatible with seafood,but I don’t remember whatthe white tasted like.

Another thing that Iwonder about, especiallywith American attitudestoward wine, is that redshould be served at roomtemperature. Zi’Antonio andBabbononno used to servewine a bit chilled. I onceasked Babbononno whatroom temperature meantand he said that wine shouldbe served at around 50degrees, which might havebeen the temperature ofsomeone’s wine cellar. If hewas to drink a table winethat was at room tempera-ture and the temp happenedto be 70 degrees or higher,Babbononno would ask for anice cube. Another drink thatdoesn’t turn me on at roomtemperature is beer. I trieda warm beer in London awhile back and couldn’thandle it. But, I’m not a beerlover and that may make thedifference.

When I was a teenagerand all the guys were inter-ested in a couple of beers, Ihad to preface my preferencewith root. I liked root beer,orange soda, cream soda orlemonade. Even today, I sel-dom have a beer. If it’s a hotsummer’s day and I’m in themood for a beer, I will choosesomething light, like aCorona or Land Shark whichis similar.

Loretta and I eat out a lotconsidering our schedulesand during the summer,water with lemon or a goodlemonade will enhance theflavor of the food, so that’swhat I order.

I know that some peoplewill opt for a beer, a glass ofwine or something harderon the rocks, accompaniedby chips, when they arerelaxing or watching a sport-ing event on TV. I have toconfess … I would rather sitdown with a cold glass ofmilk and a couple of choco-late chip cookies. Oh well.

“O, train me not, sweetmermaid, with thy note, todrown me in thy sister’s floodof tears.”

One of his earliest, hisshortest, and probablyShakespeare’s first commis-sioned play; The Comedy ofErrors is a delectable romp ofmistaken identities. Heart-ache and hilarity comminglein this raucous escapade oftwins and travel.

Phaedra by Jean Racinewill begin November 19th

through December 7th withvenue to be revealed and di-rected by M. Bevin O’Gara.

“Yes, I will live, if life canbe restored, If my affection fora son has pow’r to rouse mysinking heart at such a dan-gerous hour.”

Her husband presumeddead, a woman falls un-requitedly hard for her step-son who rebuffs her. Hisdesire is for his family’senemy’s daughter. Unex-pectedly the father returnsand tragedy ensues. Racinewas an enormously popularFrench playwright in his day,and Phaedra, an ancient,wrenching tale of forbiddenlove proves why.

ing about city life, havinglived for centuries in townsand villages. And yet, infewer than three genera-tions, we have become doc-tors, lawyers, captains ofindustry, mayors, governors,senators and even U.S.Supreme Court justices.But the image of us asignorant and ill-manneredpersists.

In that sense, we havethe worst of both worlds. Weare part of the “white major-ity” and yet we are margin-alized by society in a moresubtle way than our immi-grant ancestors were. Butmarginalized all the same.

According to the U.S. Cen-sus Bureau, two-thirds of theItalian Americans in theworkforce are in white col-lar positions. The averageItalian American is 34 years

It was perhaps the worstperformance by a Patri-ots team since a guynamed Drew Bledsoewas leading the offense.The Patriots had playedtheir share of bad gamesthroughout the Brady-Belichick era, but this wason another level. Worse thanthe 31-0 shellacking Buffaloprovided in the 2003 seasonopener, worse even thananother Monday Night melt-down suffered in NewOrleans in 2009. Yes, Mon-day night in Kansas City wasthat bad. When the crowdnoise, which reached aWorld Record 142.2 decibels,had finally lowered at Arrow-head Stadium, the score-board read 41-14 in favor ofthe home team.

The loss reflected a failureat every level of the organi-zation, from Ownershipdown to the 53 man-roster.On most NFL teams, themost responsible individualsare the Head Coach andGeneral Manager. Theformer coaches the talentthat the latter provides himwith. In the Patriots’ case,this boils down to one man,Bill Belichick. “Our team isgoing to play better than theyplayed tonight. We have togo to work and we have todo that” said the Coach/GMfollowing the game.

Perhaps this represents aknee jerk reaction aftera demoralizing loss butBelichick has to be account-able for the team he has as-sembled and for his in-game

decisions. Has the NFLgame passed him by? Thereis no doubt that he is a firstballot Hall of Famer, havingwon consistently for 14 sea-sons here in New England,providing our region withthree Super Bowl Cham-pionships, but how muchlonger can we resign to livein past accomplishments?His at times surly attitudewas once cute. Patriotsfans overlooked it when theteam was bringing homeLombardi Trophies, but nowis becoming increasinglystale.

Monday night’s game planseemed flawed from thestart. The offense began thegame in the spread forma-tion, featuring QuarterbackTom Brady in the shotgun.This setup calls for spread-ing out the defense withmost always four or morewide receivers, and keepingthe defense off-balance withno-huddle play calls. Onlyproblem, on Monday night,Belichick elected to dressonly three wide receiverswhile carrying five runningbacks. Not exactly the idealpersonnel. Where wereAaron Dobson and KenbrellThompkins? Both secondyear wide receivers werenoticeably absent, withDobson now having missedthree out of four games thisseason as a healthy scratch.The play calling was unbal-anced, and mostly confus-ing. With five running backsat their disposal, the offenseran only 16 rushing plays.What were they tryingto do?

The air it out ap-proach was a failure,as Brady continued todescend in the NFLquarterback rankings.He now has connectedon a league-low 32percent of passes over10 yards. He completed

only one such pass in Kan-sas City, throwing 2 ugly in-terceptions while finishingwith an abysmal 11.6 QBR(Quarterback Rating) in thegame. “It was just a badperformance by everybody,”said Brady, “We need tomake sure we never havethis feeling again.”

Brady was relieved in thefourth quarter by rookieJimmy Garoppolo, who ledthe team to a score whenhe connected with TightEnd Rob Gronkowski ona 13-yard touchdown.Garoppolo finished 6 of 7passing for 70 yards and onetouchdown.

Defensively, the gamewasn’t much better. Theyallowed 207 yards rushing tothe running back tandemof Knile Davis (107) andJamaal Charles (92). Quar-terback Alex Smith addedthe other eight yards on theground while also contribut-ing 248 through the airwith three touchdowns. TheChiefs offense gained 303yards in the first half, mark-ing the highest total allowedin the first half by any teamBelichick has coached. AndKansas City is hardly a pro-lific offensive team.

“We have to figure out whatwe have to do better,” saidBrady. The fact that areas inneed of improvement are notevident to the Quarterbackafter Monday night’s game isanother area that requiresimprovement.

Derek JeterGets My Re2pect

for a Great Career

New York Yankees DerekJeter was a class act throughhis 20 years wearing pin-stripes. He was one of a dyingbreed of players who spenttheir entire career on oneteam. He will go down in his-tory as a Yankees legend likeBabe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, JoeDiMaggio and, of course, myboyhood hero Mickey Mantle.

The New Timers said itbest, “With his words anddeeds Jeter never enteredfoul territory.”

In five years time, the Cap-tain will stroll into the Hallof Fame with over 3,481 hitsand a lifetime .309 battingaverage. As the NY Timesalso stated, “And above thesestatistics will appear the faceof dignity intact, under a Yan-kees cap. Bottom line.”

Wright Could beRight for 2015

Steve Wright is a prettygood looking knuckleballer.He started the season on theD.L. and then ended up inPawtucket posting a decent3.41 ERA. He was called upby the Red Sox and posted a2.67 ERA in six games. Healso struck out 22 batters in21 innings. His final appear-ance was against the Yan-kees where he pitched fivesolid innings, giving up twounearned runs in a good start.

If he isn’t a starter nextyear, he might find a role asa long relief guy. Knuckle-ballers can last a long time.Remember Wakefield? Helasted 17 seasons, mostly asa Red Sox, but began hiscareer as a member of thePirates.

Big Papi on MVPsDave Ortiz recently opined

that pitchers already havetheir own award, the CyYoung. He thinks MVPsshould be everyday players. Ibeg to differ. Sometimes apitcher is so dominating thathe deserves both awards. Ithappens often. RememberSandy Koufax (1963), RogerClemens(1986), Bob Gibsonand Denny McClain (1968) toname a few pitching MVPs.

This year Clay Kershawappears on his way clearly toa Cy Young, but he is also inthe running for MVP. Thisseason he went 21-3 in 29starts for the Dodgers with a1.77 ERA. Impressive startsworthy of both awards to me.Time will tell.

Ortiz has a right to hisopinion, but he should re-member that he is only aDH. He hasn’t played thefield for years.

Kansas City FinallyMakes Playoffs

Not having seen post-season action since 1985,

the Kansas City Royalsadvance to ALDS on a 12th

inning walk-off. I will be root-ing for them along the wayduring the upcoming PlayoffSeason.

Don’t Know AboutBuchholz

Pitcher Clay Buchholzmoved into team ace bydefault this past July 31,when Sox management gotrid of both Jon Lester andJohn Lackey. However, Clayis not an ace, nor does hereally seem to have acematerial within him. He fin-ished up his season going8-10 with a 5.31 ERA. Soxbetter work hard this offseason getting some muchneeded pitching or 2015 willbe more of the same.

By the Way ...The Boston Red made base-

ball history this season. Nomajor league team everwent from last to first to lastagain. An historic mark notworth much to anyone, espe-cially Boston fans.

Two 20 GameWinners This Year

Clay Kershaw, who finished21-3 this year for theDodgers, was joined by AdamWainwright of the Cardinals,who finished 20-9 with a 2.38ERA. No 20 game winners forthe American League thisyear.

Baseball History KeepsGetting Made onSeptember 28th

I remember back in 1960,when a group of altar boysfrom the Immaculate Con-ception in the South Endwent to Fenway Park to seethe final game of 1960. I wasthere with my brotherDominic and a bunch of otherkids in the right field grand-stand. We were amongmaybe 8,000 fans at mostinside the park who wit-nessed Ted Williams last ca-reer at bat when he homeredin his last plate appearance.Lots of folks would later saythey were at Fenway for thegame maybe as many as50,000. But most of the seatswere empty as there was noRed Sox Nation in thoseyears.

Jumpstart to September 28,1968. It turned out thatMickey Mantle would endhis long career at Fenwaytoo. He had no farewell tourlike Jeter had retiring in theoff-season. He ended upgoing hitless in his final 20at bats and did not go outwith a bang but rather awhimper.

Finally, this past Sunday,September 28th would bringDerek Jeter to bat at Fenwaybefore calling his careerquits too.

Ted Williams accepted congratulations by Jim Pagliaroniafter hitting a homerun in his final at-bat September 29,1960 at Fenway Park

Jerry Quarry — He Was His Own Toughest Opponent

Jerry Quarry was born intoboxing. His father Jack hadhim participating in fightsstarting at the age of five.While still an amateur, JackQuarry would have his sonsparring with professionalswho were often much biggerthan the young Jerry. Manyof these sparring sessionswould turn into wars whereJerry would be fighting forsurvival. It can be argued thatstarting so young and beingthrown in with such experi-enced fighters at that earlyage made Quarry into a goodfighter. I would argue in re-turn it is what guaranteedhis tragic ending, dying at theage of 53 after suffering fromdementia for many years. Mytake on it is that Jack Quarrywas a sadistic and cruel manwho had no concern for thewell being of his son.

After emerging from thatbaptism of fire and winningmany amateur titles, Jerrywent on to a professionalcareer that was markedby many triumphs andmany disappointments. JerryQuarry could fight, he couldreally fight. He could box, hecould punch, he moved wellon his feet, he was an amaz-ing counterpuncher, and hecould take a punch (maybe toowell). Watch videos of him athis best and there is no doubtthat he had all the tools to bea champion, and a great one.So, why wasn’t he?

In an essay in the August22, 2000 issue of the NewYorker entitled “The Art ofFailure,” author MalcolmGladwell describes the differ-ence between panicking andchoking when under pres-sure. He points out that manypeople view these terms aspejoratives and equate themwith quitting, but that is nottrue.

When in a state of panic anindividual goes into a state ofperpetual narrowing wherethe mind becomes focusedjust on survival and losestouch of the options availableto survive. This is what hap-pens when a swimmer beginsto swallow water and becomesfearful of drowning. Instead ofstaying calm and catching abreath, he begins thrashingaround and gasping, oftentaking in more water.

According to Gladwell,choking is the opposite ofpanic. It is about thinking toomuch as opposed to too little.Choking is about loss of in-stinct while panic is rever-

sion to instinct.So, how does this apply to

Jerry Quarry? I have revieweda number of videos of hisfights. In his victories overRon Lyle, Mac Foster, EarnieShavers, Buster Mathis, ThadSpencer, and Floyd Pattersonhe was brilliant. He was calmand methodical. Even whenfacing three of the hardestpunchers of his day, Foster,Lyle, and Shavers, Jerry wasthe consummate profes-sional. Jerry Quarry did notlack courage and he did notlack skill. With those victo-ries he proved himself one ofthe great heavyweights ofthat Golden Age of Heavy-weights, but he was neverable to win the title. Why didhe fare so poorly in his fightsfor the title? Did he chokewhen under the extra pres-sure of fighting for the crownor did he panic?

In his first try for the cham-pionship he was matchedagainst Jimmy Ellis for theWBA title. Both Jerry andJimmy had made it to the fi-nals of a tournament that wasorganized when MuhammadAli was stripped of his title.Quarry was the favorite goinginto this match. It was ex-pected he would pressure Ellisand force the battle. But in-stead, Jerry appeared to besleepwalking through thisfight, losing a fifteen rounddecision. He was lacklusterand appeared unmotivated.Was he over thinking whilein there? Was it a classic caseof choking?

His next shot at the title wasagainst Joe Frazier in 1969.In this bout it was expectedJerry would come out and usehis counter punching skillsagainst the very aggressiveFrazier. Instead, Jerry threwcaution to the wind and im-mediately went after Frazier,Fighting Smokin’ Joe’s fight.Jerry’s strategy was success-ful for about a round and thenJoe went to work on him end-ing the fight when Quarry wasunable to answer the bell forround eight. Did Jerry panicor choke in this fight?

His third shot at the titlewas against Muhammad Aliin 1972. Earlier that eveningJerry saw his brother Mikebrutally knocked out by BobFoster. Mike was knockedcold and was unconscious for

a number of minutes. Therewas much concern about howbadly he was hurt. This cer-tainly had to have an effecton Jerry going into his fightwith Ali a short time later.Quarry came out at the bellfor the first round like a wildbull. He ran at Ali and actu-ally lifted the champion off hisfeet and over his shoulder.Jerry threw all of his skill outthe window that night andended up being stopped in theseventh round. What hap-pened?

There was one other fightJerry had where he displayedan odd behavior. This was hisfight against George Chuvalo.George had a well deservedreputation as perhaps thetoughest heavyweight of thetime. He had never beenfloored, and at that time, hadonly been stopped by JoeFrazier. Chuvalo was givingJerry a fight but Quarry waswinning handily when hewent down from what ap-peared to be a very lightpunch. It looked as if he wascaught of balance. Jerry gotup immediately but then wentdown on one knee and re-moved his mouthpiece whilethe referee counted over him.It certainly looked like hewould get up and continue,but he was still on his kneewhen the count reached ten.Jerry jumped up then, but itwas too late. What was goingon here?

When I compare his threetitle fights with his great vic-tories I see two different fight-ers. I don’t believe it was fearthat got to Jerry in his titlematches, but somethingabout being on the verge ofwinning the title got into hishead and he had a hard timehandling it. Did he choke?Did he panic? Or did he justgive up before the bell rang?And what about the Chuvalofight?

Part II Next Week.

Thad Spencer vs. JerryQuarry

Jerry Quarry stops Mac Foster

Joe Frazier vs Jerry Quarry

It was the summer with-out fireworks, at least thosethat might have been asso-ciated with the BostonCeltics. But as we drove downRoute 128 on the way to theteam’s annual media day, weknew one thing was for cer-tain: it was time for the menin Green uniforms that in-habit the Hub to get back towork.

The Celtics practice facil-ity at HealthPoint in thewestern most section ofWaltham features a replicaof the court that is knownto fans around the world.

But here, it is just the floorand the baskets with a smallsection of seating that looksas if it could hold 200 peopleat most. Significantly, ban-ners indicating each andevery one of the Celtics’ 17NBA Championships are alsoon display here; but on thewalls, rather than hangingfrom the rafters as they doat the Garden.

Perhaps the most signifi-cant difference is the place-ment of an additional ban-ner on the wall of the prac-tice facility. It is white likethe others but entirely blank.It is displayed for all to see— waiting to be inscribed,embossed and emblazoned —with the year of the nextCeltics Championship. It isBanner 18 and its hangingthere is meant to be a chal-lenge — win a champion-ship, take me down andadorn me — filling in thispronounced gap on this wallof championships.

Thus it is that each timethe Celtics take to the floorfor practice, their challengeis visible, larger in itssilence than perhaps itever could be in oratory, andmuch more visible andlongstanding.

Just how impressive isthis scene? Well, we saw onemember of the Fourth Estaterecording it for posterity onhis cell phone.

Media Day is exactly whatthe name implies — a day forthe media members whocover the Celtics to cometogether and interact withthe team, Coach BradStevens, GM Danny Aingeand a number of the pressofficers that assist the mediathroughout the season.

One large area was setaside for photography. It wasthere that various photoswere taken for display on theTD Garden Jumbotron. Inaddition, the head and shoul-der shots that fans will seeon websites and in news-papers were also taken. Stillmore images were taken forthe team’s media guide andother publicity efforts.

On the practice court it-self, there were a varietyof stations, representing nu-merous media outlets. Somewere stops for audio inter-views for radio stations,others were set aside fortelevision outlets. One ofthe more popular — set upin one corner — was theclassic press conferenceconfiguration.

It was there, one by one,

that Ainge, Coach Stevensand every player made a stop— each fielding questions inhis own way. The Celticsacquired several new playersin September — who knowshow many will be on the open-ing night roster — but allpledged their allegiance tothe storied franchise andexpressed thankfulness andgratitude for the opportunityof being with the Celtics.

For those who were return-ing it was a time to lookahead toward the new sea-son — to put the disappoint-ments of the past campaignin perspective and to em-brace with vigor and vitalitythe possibilities of the up-coming 82 games that layahead.

All returning players in-sisted that this year’s teamwould be better than lastseason’s, saying that a yearwith Coach Stevens haddone them good. Everyonewas on the same page —and many had already par-ticipated in informal prac-tices — some throughout thesummer and others sinceLabor Day.

Kelly Olynyk perhaps cameup with the best line whensome asked him to describehis rookie year experiencelast season. “It was likehaving to take a test with-out going to class,” saidthe seven-foot center, whoplayed his college ball atGonzaga University.

We had the chance to re-new acquaintances with anumber of people who coverthe Celtics, as well as themembers of the media rela-tions staff who have assistedus over the years.

As the afternoon wounddown, the pace slowed andthe number of reportersdwindled. We took our leave,got back in the car and drovenorth on Route 128, takingas a positive symbol the bet-ter-than-average flow of rushhour traffic.

If the Celtics fare as wellas they weave their waythrough the NBA this sea-son, then this year will turnout better than last, with theprize of a playoff berth becom-ing a reality at journey’s end.

MARCHAND’S IN SHAPE —Bruins Coach Claude Julienhad words of praise for vet-eran Brad Marchand as theB’s neared the conclusion oftheir two weeks of exhibitiongames.

“He trained this summerto come to camp and be abetter player,” noted thecoach as the squad preparedfor the regular seasonopener on October 8 againstthe Philadelphia Flyers atthe Garden. Julien said thatlast season he didn’t thinkMarchand “trained properlyfor ice hockey. His cardiowasn’t the greatest. Thewhole year he just struggledwith it. This year he seemsa lot better. He seems tohave more endurance outthere. His shifts are muchbetter because of it. Healready is a better playerthan he was all of lastyear.”
