NostraStirpe by Prof. Edmund

A weekly column highlighting someof the more interesting aspects of ourancestry...our lineage...our roots.

James Abram Garfield became our C.E.O. number twenty,His household was poor and not one of plenty;

He was fatherless at two and a real self-made man,Supported a mother as best as one can.

Hit the books in search of great legal knowledge,Even served as President of Hiram College;

Became an authority on constitutional rights,During the Civil War he advanced great heights.

The greatest event in his Presidential time,Was the manner in which he uncovered crime;

Discovered Post Office frauds and brought them to light,Then prosecuted the criminals with all of his might.

After Garfield attended a national convention,He was elected President though it was not his intention;

Four months later in a local rail station,He became our next victim of assassination.

Earlier James Garfield met a merchant’s young daughter,While she was a student at the academy that taught her;

In just a few years she walked down the aisle,Then to the altar where she lingered a while.

He plighted his troth and she did the same,In a matter of minutes she changed her last name;To prove that their marriage had no bounds or lids,

Went to their new home and had seven kids.

For the next twenty-three years, had their share of good luck,But in 1881 great tragedy struck.

It was the month of July and the weather was hot,That’s when she was told that James had been shot.

She spent most of her time at her husband’s bedside,After eighty long days he finally died; At the age of 49:

No doubt this was cause for sorrow and tears.Do you know she survived him by thirty-six years?

Members of the BostonParks and Recreation Com-mission voted unanimouslyto dedicate the gazebo onthe East side of SpectacleIsland Park in honor ofKrystle M. Campbell ofMedford. Campbell was oneof three people killed on April15, 2013 following the explo-sion of two bombs placednear the finish line of theBoston Marathon. She was29 years old.

The request to honorCampbell was made in aletter addressed to theCommission and signed byBoston Harbor Island Alli-ance President PhilipGriffiths, MassachusettsDepartment of Conservationand Recreation Commis-sioner Jack Murray, and Su-perintendent of the BostonHarbor Islands National ParkArea Kelly Fellner.

Their letter says, in part,“The bombings at the 2013Boston Marathon were atragic event for all of us inthe City, the region and thenation. The many peoplewho work together to man-age the Boston Harbor Is-lands national park area losta friend and colleague inKrystle Campbell who waskilled in the bombing, andwe would like to request yourapproval to allow us to honorher memory on SpectacleIsland.”

Krystle was the CateringManager with the BostonHarbor National Park Area.She worked for five yearswith the team from JasperWhite’s Summer Shack, the

café on the island. Her col-leagues state in the letter,“We came to know her verywell. She loved being on theIslands, and it seems highlyappropriate to honor hermemory there.”

The gazebo which will bededicated to Krystle is on theEast side of Spectacle Island,located between the twodrumlins, and overlookingBoston Harbor in the areacalled the “saddle.” SummerShack owner Jeff Dugan toldCommissioners that thegazebo was one of Krystle’sfavorite places to go to relax.

Spectacle Island is a 105acre public park located

approximately four miles off-shore. The island has aguarded swimming beach,five miles of walking paths,a visitor center, marina, andthe Summer Shack Cafe.The following entities sharejurisdiction for Spectacle Is-land: the City of Boston, theCommonwealth of Massa-chusetts, the National ParkService, and the Boston Har-bor Islands Alliance.

Proponents of the dedica-tion to honor Krystle will nowwork with the Boston Parksand Recreation Departmenton the wording for a plaquewith her name on it to beplaced at the gazebo.

Three-quarters of theworld’s people are denied re-ligious liberty. That alarm-ing statistic emerged in theJune 13, 2013, testimony ofThomas F. Farr before theHouse Committee on Over-sight and Government Re-form Subcommittee on Na-tional Security.

Mr. Farr’s testimony “Ex-amining the Government’sRecord on Implementing theInternational ReligiousFreedom Act,” address the1998 International ReligiousFreedom Act (“IRFA”) man-date that the U.S. govern-ment promote religiousfreedom globally. Accordingto Mr. Farr, director of theReligious Freedom Project atGeorgetown University’sBerkley Center for Religion,Peace, and World Affairs, therecord is not good.

According to his testimony(and from here on I shallquote his printed remarks)

• Unjust restrictions onreligious individuals andgroups, as well as violentreligious persecution, havesteadily worsened in recentyears.

• Studies by the Pew Re-search Center demonstratethat, as of 2010, 75 percent

of the world’s populationlives in countries where re-ligious freedom is severelyrestricted.

• Millions are vulnerable toviolent abuse, such as tor-ture, rape, “disappearance,”unjust imprisonment, andunjust execution, because oftheir religious beliefs andpractices, or those of theirtormentors.

• Of the victims of reli-gious persecution, Chris-tians head the list, withMuslims not far behind.

• Both groups are perse-cuted in the Far East, SouthAsia, the Middle East, andAfrica.

• Strikingly, we are alsoseeing mounting govern-ment restrictions on andsocial hostility toward reli-gion in the continent wherethe idea of religious freedomwas born - Europe.

• There are approximately70 countries where perse-cution and restrictions onreligion are severe. That listincludes virtually all thenations whose internal sta-bility, economic policies,and foreign policies are ofsubstantial concern to theUnited States, includingChina, Indonesia, Russia,

India, Pakistan, Afghani-stan, Iran, Turkey, SaudiArabia, Syria, and Iraq, aswell as Egypt, Libya, andmost of the nations compris-ing what was once wistfullylabeled “the Arab Spring.”

• At one time there was anargument to be made thatVietnam had improved, butthat seems no longer to bethe case. The US Commis-sion has recommended thatVietnam, which was re-moved from the list of “coun-tries of particular concern”a few years ago because ofimprovements in religiousfreedom, be returned to thelist this year.

• While persecution inChina waxes and wanes, thegovernment still imprisons,tortures, and generally ter-rorizes religious groups thatdon’t conform. It still sup-ports forced sterilizationsand abortions, and forbidsCatholic priests and Protes-tant ministers from criticiz-ing the “one-child” policyfrom the pulpit. And it con-tinues to brutalize UighurMuslims in China’s north-west province, and to attackquite viciously the cultureand religion of the people ofTibet.

“At that time there was a great persecution against the church.”— Acts of the Apostles (8:1)

Do you ever feel likeyou are being milked like amilk cow? We keep gettingsqueezed more and moreand when all is said anddone, we don’t see much ben-efit for us or anyone weknow. The latest insult toroll down Beacon Hill on tothe Boston Common, wherecows actually once roamed,is a brand new three centsaddition to the gas tax. Weall know that pump priceshave been rising as of lateand now three more centsleaves our pockets per gal-lon. As far as cigarette taxesgo, a price for a package ofcigarettes just went up onebuck a package.

Can I tell you something, Ifind it difficult to believe thatgovernment is really con-cerned about improvingpeoples’ lives by raising thetax on cigarettes. The lastthing Beacon Hill wants isfolks giving up cigarettes.They surely are banking onthat nicotine addiction add-ing more dollars to the statekitty. God forbid the sale ofcigarettes goes down.

Hey, at least the governordidn’t get his candy tax.Raising taxes only meansmore money for them tospend elsewhere, like onmore entitlements to folksto game the system. The lastthing they need up on theHill is less tax money rollinguphill to them.

Recently, the governmentvetoed the budget becauseit wasn’t large enough. Hewas looking for even more ofour hard-earned money tospend.

If we actually had a two-party system in this state,we would have the checksand balances in place toprotect the taxpayer class.As we stand now, the onlyones benefitting are thosegetting checks from the gov-

ernment along with theirEBT, SNAP and all the otherstuff the rest of us finance.

It appears the governmentis working night and day tohand out as much free stuffas they can since they paythe bills with our money. Atelection time they reap whatthey sow. The folks who getfree stuff have only one goal— keep the free stuff com-ing — by keeping the samepeople in office.

In one way Mitt Romneywas right. If you give themstuff, they will keep votingfor them. The Democratsare the party of free stuff.Working people seeminglyare caught in the middlebetween Democrats who seeus as milk cows and theRepublicans who can’t seemto get out of their own waymost of the time. Whospeaks for working classfamilies, blue collar work-ers, college students sink-ing deeper into personaldebt and the elderly on fixedincomes?

Forget all this silly liberalconservative nonsense.Government seems to nolonger be listening to us be-cause we have forgotten thatwe, not them, are actuallythe government. It can be asgood as we want it or as badas we have allowed it to goover the past few decades.

In 2014, the milk cows ofAmerica must rise up andtake our government backfrom those endlessly squeez-ing us for everything wehave earned.

We need to go back and re-read the advice of ourfounders like Ben Franklinand Thomas Jefferson. Weare the government and it isup to us to make it workproperly. Always vote andalways take a stand forAmerica and its guidingprinciples.

Cecilia! Cecilia! Cecilia,the foremost protagonist inthis Victorian tale. Addingspice to this story is that itborders on a true tale of pos-sible murder and sensualfeelings.

Cecilia’s elegant and pros-perous father noting herdespondency suggested thatshe spend a month or so inthe Malvern Salon (London)a noted health salon to perkher up. The matter of dressis immediately noted. Froma woman who dressed in thelatest fashions to simplecotton attire that she admitsto enjoy. Her day consistsof getting up at six, a mea-ger breakfast, cold water in-dulgers, 5 mile walks, andbed by 9:30. This severeagenda is a reflection ofowner and directorDr. Gully’s famous, wa-ter cure.

Unexpectedly andunheralded the volup-tuous Cecilia and theroly-poly Dr. Gully be-come intimate. “… de-spite his age and unimpos-ing physique, she attainedheights of passion andphysical pleasure she’dnever dreamt possible.”This sensation was whollylacking in her drunkenhusband Richard Costello,who passes away due to cir-rhosis of the liver, leavingCecilia a very rich woman.

Having inherited a goodsum her thoughts turn toacquiring a lavish estatenamed The Priory. She con-vinces Dr. Gully to purchasea similar estate within walk-ing distance of her estate.Bear in mind, their affair isstill highly secretive. None-theless, Cecilia was begin-ning to feel indifferently to-ward Dr. Gully’s advance-ments. She was becomingmore aware of his signs ofage and frailties. The impos-sible happens, Cecilia be-comes pregnant. An abortionfollows, Mrs. Jane Clark,keeper of the household andconfidant, advises Cecilia tostop seeing Dr, Gully. It ishere that author John Kerrleads the reader to considerand wonder about Mrs. JaneClark’s emphatic love forCecilia.

The time has come appar-ently, according to Mrs. Gullyand frankly Cecilia that sheshould meet a new and eli-gible young man. CharlesCranston seemed to fit thebill. A handsome lawyer withmoney, and all the properconnections. When the sup-position of marriage is intro-duced they both decide toconfess their past inter-ludes. Cranston makes itclear that Cecilia is not toever again see Mr. Gully.Shockingly, Cecilia learnsthat once she marries allher income belongs to herhusband. However, a pren-uptial agreement could saveher from losing her estate.

FELL THE ANGELS THE CASE OF THE PRIORY MURDERby John Kerr

222 Pages • Hard Cover • Published by Robert Hale

Author John Kerr

Mrs. Clarke forewarnsCecilia when she utters thefollowing, “You must curtailyour spending, no matterthe size of your income, orthere will be hell to pay.” It

was a time in history whenwomen had few rights.

Cecilia and Charles Cran-ston marry. Notwithstand-ing, their marriage wasshort-lived, Now the readeris subjected, with interest,varied approaches to sex.Her first husband, RichardCostello was an inept alco-holic. Dr. Gully despite hislack of physical attractionwas a complete lovemakingpartner. Her latest husband,Charles Cranston, was asingle-minded roughneck.

Suddenly, Charles Cran-

ston becomes dreadfully illand passes away. An autopsynotes that he was poisonedby antimony. Was he mur-dered or else did he commitsuicide? With these thoughtsin mind, Charles Cranston’smother hires a consultingdetective, Duncan Cameron.

It is here that I would liketo express my deep admira-tion of author John Kerr. Hisclean lines and superb dia-logue are extraordinary. Areader will have troubleputting this book down.Adding to this marvelousread is the fact that you willnot have any idea whetheror not he was murdered orelse committed suicide,until the end.

While Cameron, the detec-tive was having tea at one

of his inquisitions, he isinspecting an Americanmade long-barreled Coltrevolver and muses:“The Americans, hesaid, have produced byfar the finest sidearm.Not surprising, consid-

ering the frequency withwhich they resort to it.”

I feel privileged to have theopportunity to critique thisexciting and sound book.Although John Kerr drifts inplots from two other books I had the good fortune of cri-tiquing, Cardigan Bay andA Rose in No Man’s Land, hedoes not lose his embedded,superb writing style.

One more thing, you hadto notice but just in case youdidn’t, I decided to let thereader search out the sup-posedly villain in this book.

Adding spice to this storyis that it borders on a

true tale of possible murderand sensual feelings.

St. Cajetan was born in 1480,the son of Gaspar, lord of Thiene,and Mary Porta, both were amongthe nobility of Vicenza, in Lom-bardy, Italy. Cajetan was wellgrounded in his faith throughthe efforts of his mother. Hestudied law in Padua, receivinghis degree in civil and canon lawat age 24. In 1506, he worked asan envoy for Pope Julius II, andhelped establish reconciliationwith the Republic of Venice; hewas ordained a priest in 1516.

Cajetan was called to Vicenza by the death of his mother,it was there that he founded a hospital for incurables in1522. It was during this period that he discovered that hisinterests were as much or more devoted to spiritual heal-ing than the physical kind, and he joined a confraternityin Rome called “The Oratory of Divine Love” intending toform a group that would combine the spirit of monasticismwith the exercises of the active ministry.

Cajetan went to Venice where he took up residence in ahospital, there he worked among the sick, and the experi-ence confirmed in him the idea of founding a society inwhich the members would attempt to live lives like theApostles. He returned to his native Vicenza at the death ofPope Julius II in 1523, there he sought out the sick andthe poor of the town, and worked in the hospital of theincurables, which he helped subsidize. He promoted spiri-tual life and care for the poor and sick not only with wordsbut with his heroic example. He told his brothers, “In thisoratory we try to serve God by worship; in our hospital wemay say that we actually find him.” But none of the horrorshe saw in the hospitals of the incurables depressed him asmuch as the wickedness that was so prevalent in the world.

A new congregation was canonically established byPope Clement VII in the year 1524, in the hopes that thelives lived by its members would inspire others to live holylives devoted to Jesus. In order to accomplish this they wouldfocus on moral living, sacred studies, preaching and pasto-ral care, helping the sick, and other solid foundations ofpastoral life. This new order was known as “TheatinesClerks Regular”, from the name of the city of Chieti (inLatin: Theate).

One of Cajetans’ four companions was Giovanni PietroCarafa, the Bishop of Chieti, elected first superior of theorder, who later became Pope Paul IV. The order grew at afairly slow pace: there were only twelve Theatines duringthe sack of Rome in 1527. They managed to escape to Veniceafter their house in Rome was destroyed when EmperorCharles V’s troops entered the city. Cajetan met JeromeEmiliani, (Saint Jerome) whom he assisted in the estab-lishment of his Congregation of Clerks Regular which wasinstituted upon the plan of that of the “Oratory of DivineLove” in Rome. In 1533 he founded a house in Naples. In1540 Cajetan was once again in Venice, there he extendedhis work among the poor and the sick to Verona.

Cajetan died in Naples on August 7, 1547 he was 67 yearsold. His remains are in the church of San Paolo Maggiorein Naples. He was beatified on October 8, 1629, by PopeUrban VIII. On April 12, 1671, Cajetan was canonized to-gether with Rose of Lima, Luis Beltrán, Francisco de Borjaand Felipe Benicio. Saint Cajetan’s feast day is celebratedon August 7th. He is known as the patron saint of the un-employed, job seekers and good fortune.

I never realized I wouldget so many e-mails in oneweek, I am a lucky littlepooch. A red, long hair, mini-dachshund named Pumpkinagrees with my last articlethat fireworks do us poochesno justice and he also senta belated happy birthday. Sonice of you Pumpkin tothink of me. Living in theNorth End is the most excit-ing place. I fully agree withyou that when we hear theRoma Band we know thefireworks will be off and run-ning and so will our ears.Why grown-ups enjoy thenoise I have no idea. Maybebecause it has been a partof history for every feast wehave; fire-works is a part oftradition, I would say. Wehave to take the good withthe bad; the summer time isone of the most interestingtimes in the North End. Wehear so many individualscomplaining that the feastshould all be down by theWaterfront because thenoise and crowds are unbe-lievable. To appreciate theNorth End you would havehad to live here all your lifeto understand what we had60 years ago and what wehave now. The feasts havebeen a part of our lives, allof our lives, our grandpar-ents, our parents etc., etc.We have so much going for

us. I have lived here only 14years and I see the differ-ence in the traffic, thenoise, the pollution, thetrash situation … I can’teven keep up with the ro-dents myself no wonder theydon’t want to leave the NorthEnd the leftover food in thestreets isn’t bad, they couldbe warmed up a little.CHANGE our grandparentswould turn over in theirgraves to see what has hap-pened to our North End. Talkabout making HanoverStreet a one way! Hello! Whothought of that idea? Maybewe should change the side-walks and have one side forthe residents and the otherside for the tourists. Whatare we Newbury Street? WeARE THE NORTH END sepa-rate from other locations.That is what makes us whowe are today. We do not needto be called “Little Italy” weare AMERICANS born andbrought up here. Our grand-parents and parents wereITALIANS some came fromthe old country (Italy) bornthere and came to the NorthEnd, we do not have to jus-tify who and what our nameshould be. We are PROUD tobe born and brought up inthe North End this is ourNEIGHBORHOOD, not for thenew residents or the rentersor the business people.

People from all over the worldcome to the North End forthe food, the feast, the am-bience, and the culture wehave here in one small area“THE NORTH END”

If I wasn’t a four leggedanimal I would have more tosay but I will leave that upto my human companionthat listens to so many sto-ries and I believe she some-times wonders “CHANGE”who is the CHANGE for: notfor the residents that havelived here all their lives andonly want peace and quietand respect and understand-ing. This is a North End resi-dential area, residents stilllive here, the quality of lifeis important.

Someday maybe my hu-man companion will writeher own article; not such abad idea.

Pumpkin when you have achance my only other solu-tion to the fireworks is to goto CVS and pick up a pair ofear plugs and sit in the bath-room until it is over. GoodLuck and keep me posted onhow you’re doing. We are theNorth End pooches, respectus too and look down whenyou’re walking we are solittle you might not see us.“Pooch paws of the North Endwe’ll stick together.”

That’s all for now ...

WHERE DID INFLATION GO?Shouldn’t it be Rising with All this Bond Buying?

Consumer inflation just hit a 50-yearlow. So indicates the Federal Reserve’s pre-ferred inflation gauge — the Personal Con-sumption Expenditures (PCE) price indexmaintained by the Bureau of EconomicAnalysis.1

Besides tracking consumer inflation, thePCE price index measures household pur-chases, a major factor in GDP growth. Thecore PCE index does the same thing with-out including volatile food and energy prices.The broad PCE index hit 0.74% in May, withcore PCE at 1.05% - a new all-time low,breaking the 1.06% measured in March1963.1,2

Why isn’t QE3 generating more infla-tion? The Fed is still “printing money” tothe tune of $85 billion a month, but the head-line PCE index has fallen since last year(it approached 2.0% in early 2012). TheConsumer Price Index only advanced 1.1%between May 2012 and May 2013, and thatwas the smallest annualized gain in the CPIsince November 2010; the core CPI only rose1.7% in that period.1,3,4

What is keeping inflation in check? Chalkit up to extraordinary circumstances — andthe perception that they will continue.Short-term interest rates are nil and theFed has told the world that our benchmarkinterest rate will be at rock-bottom levelsuntil our jobless rate dips below 6.5% orinflation tops 2.5%.4

QE1 and QE2 did boost inflation in theshort-term; in fact, one of the things thatprompted QE2 was the Fed’s concern aboutdeflation in 2010. Yet inflation has lessenedsince QE3 started.4

Three factors may be encouragingdisinflation. One, the Fed has repeatedlyemphasized that QE3 will not stoke infla-tion; it has not implied, hinted or commu-nicated that it will let inflation get out ofhand or exceed its present 2.0% target. Two,economists, analysts and investors seem tohave widespread faith that the Fed can

capably fight sudden spikes in the PCE indexor the CPI and keep things under control.Three, total government spending (as a per-centage of potential nominal gross domes-tic product) fell about 3% from Q2 2010 to Q12013 – and that’s not even taking seques-tration into account. That implies reduceddemand in the economy.4

Psychologically, there is little or no fear ofrunaway inflation and the prevalent expec-tation is that there will be low inflation forsome time. This psychology may be influ-encing the current disinflation as well.

Also, while the Fed creates money andpurchases bonds from banks via its on-going stimulus, the bulk of that money hasturned into bank reserves. Lenders are con-servatively sitting on these reserves as theypay interest. Should the Fed boost the in-terest it pays on them, it will give thesebanks more reason to maintain them.4

When might inflation expectationschange? If the Fed were to raise its infla-tion target, they would change greatly. Noone sees that happening anytime soon.

Will the Fed taper sooner, or later? Withsuch mild inflation, it might be later. OnJune 10, Federal Reserve Bank of St. LouisPresident James Bullard argued for sustain-ing an “aggressive” stimulus given the “sur-prisingly low inflation readings” of recentmonths, markedly below the central bank’starget.5

“Inflation in the U.S. has surprised to thedownside,” Bullard commented at the Inter-national Economic Forum of the Americasin Montreal, later adding that “it hasn’tmoved back at all. I am still waiting for thatto happen and I am getting a little bitnervous.”5

As former Richmond Fed economist WardMcCarthy noted to Bloomberg, “This is aninopportune time to be talking aboutcurtailing [QE3]. They are missing on theinflation mandate.”5

The celebration was spon-sored by the Sons of Italy’sLodge ‘John A. Volpe’ ofEaston, MA and planned bythe lodge’s President AndreUrdi. It was presented onthe local cable television sta-tion #9, Comcast and broad-cast the following Tuesday,May 28th, Friday, May 31st

and on Sunday, June 2, 2013;respectively at 8:00 pm,6:00 pm and 8:00 pm. Thisyear’s celebration of theevent was particularly sig-nificant, for it took placeon the same day in 1946(June 2nd). This 67th year cel-ebration gave a lot to thinkabout. Most of the presentgenerations were not evenborn then. The few privilegedsurvivors can relate whatoccurred. The Italian peoplewent to the polls to expresstheir choices. They had tosolve the questions asked bythe referendum: Monarchyor Republic, while a secondballot called for the electionof the members of the Con-stituent Assembly, whichwould later produce a Con-stitution for either a Repub-lican Government or a Con-stitutional Monarchy. Theresult of the voting was: RE-PUBLIC, but not by a largemargin. The ‘Assembly’ hadlater to decide how to elect aProvisional President, leav-ing the election of the per-manent President to the new,democratic Parliament. Theunicameral ‘Assembly’ be-gan its work in early July,and labored until midDecember to complete theConstitution. The Provi-sional President chosen wasEnrico De Nicola, a law pro-fessor at the UniversityFederico II of Naples. Presi-dent De Nicola signed thehistorical document onDecember 27, 1947. TheConstitution became effec-tive a few days later, onJanuary 1st, 1948.

The first Parliamentaryelections were held on Sun-day, April 18, 1980. The uni-versal suffrage was the “new”rule. The election lasted twodays. A very high percent-age of voters elected the firstDemocratic Parliament. Alarge number of political

parties appeared on the bal-lot, each with a particularsymbol. The first politicalleaders, Alcide De Gasperi,Christian Democrat; PalmiroTogliatti, Communist; andPietro Nenni, Socialist werethe major leaders of thepack. A few other partieswere able to grab votes andbe seated, in a few cases, inthe new Parliament, whichassembled in PALAZZOMONTECITORIO in Rome.The first order of the day wasto elect the first permanentPresident. The choice fell onAntonio Segni (economist).

What is outlined above isbut a brief overview of thehistorical event we wereprivileged to witness 67years ago. It would take quitea few pages to detail whattranspired during voting,particularly in 1948. Thevoting, which lasted twodays, caused the embarrass-ment of most women andsome men, while expressingtheir vote. The lines outsidethe voting places were long,but very orderly.

Socially Scene Reviewed.... Now is the best time ofyear in my opinion (next tofashion week of course), themonth of Italian festivals.There are many throughoutthe state but there is nocomparison to what the NorthEnd brings to our city. Thispast weekend got startedoff with the Sicilian’s 88th

annual Saint Joseph’s Feast.There are many things thatcan be expected from ourfestivals and some of myfavorites are: ArrosticiniD’Abruzzo, lamb skewersmade by my good friendDario also Macanudo Cigars,I just love the smell.

For those who may notknow, the North End is stilla very traditional neighbor-hood filled with generationsof families. My dearest offriends here, the “Aquilino’s”had been telling me all dayto visit a Hanover Streethome, “It is her festival, sheopens up her house to theneighborhood and I will loveit.” They were right; it wasthe topper of the night to beinvited to see the beautifulspace that hides right onHanover street.

When I got there it was tomy surprise that I happen toknow the owner JoannaBelmonte and even more sowork with her Michael atQuattro, I love it whenthe neighborhood pieces to-gether like our own littlepaesano famiglia.

It was a real treat to notonly be graced with the his-tory of her father Don AngeloPiazza who was the presidentof the Sicilian society untilhe passed, also the buildingonce was a grocery store anda part of her family legacy.The North End is the mosthistoric neighborhood inBoston and I was experienc-ing it first-hand.

Ms. Belmonte was the defi-nition of an Italian hostesswith her spotless house, foodall prepared and fresh coffeebrewing with her girlfriendssitting around the timelesskitchen table. It was difficultfor me to focus on conversa-tion with all there was to seearound me. I felt like I wasin an antique shop with allthe detailed crafts, tradi-tional knick-knacks andclassic interior design. Icould have stayed all night

listening to the fascinatingstories and indulging in thehome, in which my apart-ment was the size of her liv-ing room but there was liveentertainment to catch!

There is one truth to ourItalian culture — we knowhow to steal the stage! Thelineup for the feast was topclass and it all startedoff with host: “The ItalianCrooner of this Century,”Gian Faraone. Not only canhe carry a tune like “VolareItaliano,” but he knewhow to entertain an audi-ence with his blue suedemoves. Local Broadwaybeauty Sharon “Z” broughther opera sound to stage withher rendition of “Don’t Cry forMe Argentina.” The great“Italian Idol” Frank Zarbatook some time to giveBoston a little “La Femina”(bad women). My favoriteand I could have sworn itwas Andrea himself, MarcAntonielli gave the show aBocelli-esque element.

Ray Cavicchio and hisorchestra shared the stageand with each performerinvited all the paesani tosing along. It was so amaz-ing to see my culture at itsbest; lovers dancing in thestreets, generations of Ital-ians celebrating the proces-sion together and myself sovery lucky to be a resident.

LITTLE RHODYUPHOLDS CHURCH-STATE

SEPARATIONEvery day I thank God I do

not live in Rhode Island andas bad as Governor DevalPatrick is, R.I. GovernorLincoln Chafee makes himlook good. Down in Provi-dence at the State Capitol,pro-life legislators passed abill allowing drivers to pur-chase “Choose Life” licenseplates. Half of the $40surcharge would go to thestate and the other halfto CareNet.Rhode Island.On July 16th, the governorvetoed the bill citing theseparation of church andstate. You can get “ChooseLife” plates all across thecountry, even here in thePeoples Republic of Mas-sachusetts but apparentlythe wall of separation iseven higher than the borderfence Republicans wantwith Mexico.

However, while the founderof the Rhode Island colonywas a firm believer in toler-ance and religious freedom,how does a “Choose Life”license plate adversely affectRhode Island’s historicalcall for religious freedom?Sounds like more politicallycorrect stuff and an in-correct reading of RogerWilliams himself.

A PLACE FORCONSERVATIVE MEDIAI am a big fan of the Fox

News Network and of bothSean Hannity and BillO’Reilly. I try reading boththe Wall Street Journal andInvestors Business Daily asmuch as I can. I think theeditorial pages of the IBD areeven better than the Jour-nal. The conservative per-spective is sorely lacking inthe mainstream liberal me-dia. I also love conservativetalk radio and miss hearingHannity’s radio show in Bos-ton since WTKK 96.9 went offthe air. While I was down inTexas on vacation, I foundthe Hannity show on two dif-ferent radio stations. Heruns on WAOI 1200 AM NewRadio San Antonio and alsoon New Talk Radio 96.3 FMin Austin. Every day at thepool sun tanning, I had Seanon my radio by my side. Hewas a breath of fresh air tohear once again.

Here in Boston we haveWRKO 680 and I catch JeffKuhner in the mornings andMark Levin week-nights.Mark just wrote a new book,“The Liberty Amendments”about how to save our con-stitutional republic. His lastbook, “Meritopia” was also agreat read. His latest is hisfifth book. Quite the conser-vative author ... Meanwhilethe Kuhner Report morningsare quite entertaining aswell as informative. The guy

has a good sense of humorand just the right dash ofinformation surrounding it.Recently, the liberal mediapainted conservative talkradio as snake oil forold white people over theZimmerman Trial and theKuhnerman let them haveit with both barrels. As hestated, it was the liberalmedia and its cronies likeAl Sharpton who constantlywere using the race card tomake their points.

By the way, if you can pickup WCRN 830 on the AM dialout of Worcester, you cantune into Michael Grahamevery weekday at high noon.He is as good as ever.

I certainly hope SeanHannity comes back onsome local radio stationsoon. Miss his colorfulopines.

Ready for this? The widely read NationalExaminer July 8th edition was headlinedSINATRA WAS A CIA SPY! Daughter Tina’sBOMBSHELL CONFESSION. And so TinaSinatra revealed CIA agents convincedSinatra to work as a courier for the super-secret U.S spy outfit. Chicago-based inves-tigative journalist Sherman H. Skolnicksays “Sinatra knew how to protect his butt— or so he thought.” “He knew a lot aboutthe CIA-Mafia joint project to assassinateJohn F. Kennedy. This led ‘Ol’ Blue Eyes’ tohave a falling out with JFK. But to be sure,the actor/singer kept his mouth shut.”Enough said!

On sale now! Secrets Of JFK Jr’s Life &Death. Yes, once again The National Enquirerafter an exhaustive years-long investiga-tion, the editors finally uncover what thegovernment has been hiding about thecircumstances surrounding the tragic flight— and what they found at the bottom ofthe sea. So says the Enquirer. It was the flighton July 16, 1999 that took the life ofKennedy, Jr. — along with his wife CarolynBessette and her sister Lauren.

Huh? British scientists invented a cellphone battery powered by urine. This “isabout eco as it gets,” said one researcher,noting that urine is a renewable resource.

Being bugged! A New York City woman setoff 21 bug bombs inside her apartment, caus-ing an explosion that collapsed her five-storybuilding injuring 14 people.

An Indiana school district says it wasted$300,000 last year because its students arerejecting the school’s new healthy lunchprogram, which was designed by First LadyMichelle Obama. Students in the CarmelClay district are dumping vegetables andfruit in the garbage or skipping lunchaltogether, said food service director LindaWireman. “There are a lot of complaintsthey’re going home hungry,” Wireman said.Carlo Scostumato suggests feeding studentsItalian food. “They all like pizza andspaghetti.”

Blessed! Like a guardian angel, the Cerezofamily’s youngest daughter delivered thema $4.85 million lottery jackpot from beyondthe grave. “It couldn’t have happened at abetter time,” says father Ricardo Cerezo. “Ijust thought this is how God works.” Savan-nah Cerezo passed away during a seizurelast year, but before she died, the 14-year-old gave her parents a cookie jar. After herdeath, Ricardo was drawn to save the Illi-nois Lottery tickets in the glass jar. TheCerezos — Ricardo, his wife, their son andtheir surviving daughter — desperatelyneeded a windfall because a bank was setto evict them from their home in Geneva,Illinois. With all their troubles, managementconsultant Ricardo didn’t check the ticketsfor about a month. Cerezo will pocket $3,395million after taxes.

More about lucky people. Retired postalworker Melvyn Wilson has the magic touchwhen it comes to lottery scratch cards —because he recently hit the jackpot forthe fourth time in nine years. Wilson, ofWoodbridge, VA, has bagged over $2 milliontotal! In 2004, he hit his first scratch-cardjackpot for $25,000, in 2005, he hit twoscratch-card jackpots — one for $1 millionand one for $500,000. Recently, he playedVirginia Lottery’s Millionaire Mania, scor-ing his fourth scratch-card prize, another$500,000 — for a grand total of $2,025,000!Wilson, who retired from the U.S. PostalService in 2007, has a simple explanationfor his lucky draws: “I’m just at the rightplace at the right time.”

Uncanny! Japanese people intent onchanging their fate are now having plasticsurgery to alter their palms. In the ancientart of palm reading, the lines on the handssupposedly govern one’s life. Plastic surgeonTakaaki Matsuoka, who charges $1,000 per10 minute operation, said that most malepatients want to change lines associatedwith money and business, while womengenerally ask to change their love lines.“Sometimes the marriage line is there, butit came too early and the woman missedher chance,” said Matsuoka. “So we add an-

other one.”Good for

her! HillaryClinton hasplunged intoa whirl ofpaid speech-making to trade associationsand business groups, charging $200,000 perspeech. She and her husband, Bill Clinton,have together earned more than $1,000,000for making speeches since 2001.

Most politicians have four speeches: whatthey have written down, what they actuallysay, what they wish they had said and whatthey are quoted as saying the next day.

You name it! About 35 percent of marriedwomen in their 20s and 30s are keepingtheir own last names — a big increase overprevious generations, according to a studyby Facebook. Among married women intheir 60s, only 9 percent kept their own lastnames.

Giuseppina, Cosce Storte, says, “Whyshouldn’t a woman take her husband’sname? She takes everything else!”

Be aware, the average three-hour base-ball game contains 17 minutes and 58 sec-onds of action such as pitches, balls in play,running and throws. That’s a bit better thanthe average football game, which containsonly 11 minutes of action time.

Good news! Cocaine use in the U.S. hasfallen by 40 percent since 2006. Some ex-perts attribute the drop to a doubling of streetprices and successful interdiction againstSouth American production facilities andtraffickers. Others say that cocaine has sim-ply become “uncool,” with drug abusers nowfocusing on prescription painkillers.

Ava Gardner is back in the news! In brief,in her heyday, screen siren Ava Gardnerwas considered the most beautiful gal in theworld, yet her love life was filled with heart-break, cheating and even a boozy beating!These are just some of the shocking con-fessions Ava made to now deceased writerPeter Evans, who was helping her with anautobiography shortly before she died at age67 in 1990. Ava reveals she went to Holly-wood as a naive 18-year-old North Carolinacountry girl and was soon scooped up by thehottest leading man in movies — 5-foot-2Mickey Rooney. Her second marriage, tobullying bandleader Artie Shaw, also fizzledafter a year. Her third and final marriage toFrank Sinatra, “the love of my life,” wasfilled with booze, fights and his suicideattempts. It ended after six years, she saysthe jealous singer made her confess she’dhad a drunken, one night stand with a bull-fighter while making a flick in Spain — andthen “he brought it up every argument wehad. He never forgave me.” For the record,Ava Gardner is resting in her home stateat Sunset Memorial Park, Smithfield, NorthCarolina

Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) was marriedfour times. His wives were: Nancy Barbato,1939; Ava Gardner, 1951; Mia Farrow, 1966and Barbara Sinatra, 1976.

One ofHollywood’s most successful and prolificcomposers during the ’30s ’40s and ’50s, hewrote “Chattanooga Choo Choo,” “I Only HaveEyes For You,” “That’s Amore.” Between 1935and 1950, he wrote more hit songs than ColePorter, Irving Berlin or George Gershwin,three of which earned him Academy Awards:“Lullaby of Broadway,” “You’ll Never Know”and “Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe.”AMERICA IS A BEAUTFUL ITALIAN NAME

Sixty years ago thismonth, Hurricane Carol hitthe East Coast of the UnitedStates. The month wasAugust and Nanna, Babbo-nonno, Mom, Dad and I wereat the summer cottage inWinthrop, Maine. Dad wasstill playing the county fairs,but during August, he wouldtry to book in the ones clos-est to where we were vaca-tioning. All I knew abouthurricanes was what Momtold me, “You were born notlong after the hurricane of1938. I guess back then theywere not named as of yet.”

With Nanna and Babbo-nonno staying with us in aone bedroom cottage, theyslept on the living roomcouch which opened to a bed.As a result, I slept on a simi-lar couch located on the backporch that faced the lake.

I also had a friend stayingwith us. Not having brothersand sisters, I had friendsfrom home that joined me fora few days at a time. Thistime around, it was a fellowusher from the Seville The-ater, Carl Sinatra. A foldingarmy cot was opened everynight on the other side of theback porch and this is wheremy friends slept.

During the mornings, wewould row one of the boatsout into the middle of thelake, jump overboard andswim back to the dock tow-ing the boat. Babbononnowould take the row boat outwhen he was in the mood forexercise. Nanna and Momboth had fears of water andneither would go anywherenear the lake. I also had aspeed boat and that’s whereBabbononno would draw theline. The row boat was OKbut not the racer.

One day, one of the localswho had befriended us,Arthur Gordon, asked Dad fora favor. He was takinghis youngest daughters to apediatrician in Portland andasked us to look in on hisfather, Old Vic, if the publi-cized storm did in fact hit us.Dad was in agreement andthe Gordon family left.

Not knowing anythingabout the storm at that point,Carl Sinatra and I wereon the lake in my speedboat. We were racing aroundand when the water becamechoppy, headed back towardour dock. Dad was standingon the dock waving us in, butI interpreted it as just a waveand I waved back. One thinglooked strange to me. Dadhad pulled my row boat ontothe beach which was asidethe cottage. As the wind

picked up, it pulled my speedboat sideways. I turned theboat into the wind andopened it up. With the throttlealmost full in a forward posi-tion, I was starting to gobackward. Somehow I man-aged to beach the boat anddragged it along the water’sedge back to our beach andpulled it alongside the rowboat. Dad ran over yelling atus until he discovered wedidn’t know why he was soupset. He yelled, “Don’t youidiots know that a hurricaneis coming our way? You couldhave been killed staying outon the lake.”

Well, we next put every-thing that could fly around inthe wind under the cottage.Next, we closed the shuttersthat covered the windows andmade sure we had enoughdrinking water which wasdrawn from a well which wason the left side of the cottage.Not long after, the windpicked up and we sat in boththe living room and kitchenlistening to the happeningson local radio. We didn’t havea TV set at the cottage. As amatter of fact, no one livingat the lake did. The localstations broadcast whateverthey were getting as newsfrom Boston and Portland.

The storm hit in full inten-sity by the afternoon. Thesound of the wind in thetrees made Mom and Nannavery uneasy. Babbononnopoured himself a glass ofZi’ Antonio’s best homemadered wine and didn’t have acare in the world as a resultof the effects. The sound ofthe rain on the roof madethings a bit disconcertingbut we managed to remaincontrolled and rode out thestorm. When it seemed tohave ended a while later,Dad, Sinatra and I went out-side to inspect the damage.Thank God, there was none.We hadn’t lost power, norwere there any branchesbroken off the trees and notrees were uprooted. Dad’scar was OK with just leavescovering the hood and roof.

As I looked at the beach, Idiscovered that my boatswere missing. A closer lookshowed us that the churn-ing lake water had washedenough sand on shore tocover the boats and theywould have to be dug outwhen the sand dried. So,with everything now intact,Dad said he was going downthe road to check on Old Vic.

The Gordon home was onthe other side of the roadabout a quarter of a mileaway. We walked the dis-

tance due to fallen treesblocking the road which wascalled Memorial Drive. Whenwe got the Gordon home,there was Old Vic sitting onthe front steps whittling awaywith a glass of applejack onthe step next to him. Dadspoke first, “Hi Vic, is every-thing OK?” Vic replied, “Yep.”Dad asked, “Any damageto the house?” Vic replied,“Nope.” Then Dad askedabout the car that was leftbehind and Vic replied, “Nodamage.” Then Dad asked ifthe dog was OK and Vicreplied, “Yep.” When Dadasked if there were any prob-lems with the old barn inback of the house, Old Vicreplied, “Don’t know, haven’tfound it yet!” I ran in backand saw that the barn haddisappeared. The storm hadwiped it off the face of themap.

When the Gordons re-turned from Portland, Arthurstoically stated that he wouldrebuild the barn, a chorethat might include all of theneighbors helping out andmaking a festival out of thesituation. By the next day,the town had cleared awaythe fallen trees and thingsbegan to get back to normal.

The sun was in full bloomfor the next few days and thesand on the beach dried outallowing Sinatra and me todig out my two boats. Refloat-ing them again, I now had arow boat and a speed boat toplay with. We motored theperimeter of the lake look-ing for people who might needassistance, but it seemedthat the lake didn’t get theworst of the storm.

The next day, the folksalong the lake had a cook-out to celebrate the end ofthe storm. Old Vic brought abottle of white lightening andBabbononno brought a gallonof red wine. If you add in thebeer that was part of thecookout, everyone seemedto have a good time.

Labor Day was just aroundthe corner and all of thesummer residents began topack to return home. A finalparty was planned and wellattended by summer folksand locals alike. What theydidn’t know was that thefollowing summer wouldhave consequences thatwere similar. HurricaneDiane would hit the north-east, but that’s a story foranother day. GOD BLESSAMERICA

be talking anywhere up to25-30 million within 5 years.Then, don’t forget all thenew illegals hiding in theshadows once again.

This is a never-endingbattle, not against truth andjustice, but against commonsense of sanity.

Forget about drug mulesand think 30 million moreregistered Democrats by2020. More welfare, moreEBT cards, more checksgoing out, more unemploy-ment and higher taxes. Thereal mules out there areworking families, blue collarworkers and middle-classhomeowners.

More Empty Rhetoricfrom Obama

According to Sal Russo,who is the co-founder andchief strategist of the TeaParty Express, “The presi-dent’s latest economicspeech hit an unsurprisingtone of class warfare andempty old rhetoric. Wehave heard it all before andneither the rhetoric nor theweakness of our economyhas changed.”

Recently, President Obamasaid, “With this endlessparade of distractions andpolitical posturing and phonyscandals. Washington’s takenits eyes off the ball. And I amhere to say this needs tostop. This needs to stop. Thismoment does not requireshort-term thinking and itdoes not require having thesame old stale debates. Ourfocus must be on the basiceconomic issues that mat-ter most to you, the peoplewe represent. That’s what

we have to spend our timeon and our energy on andfocus on.”

So far, so good, RIGHT?However, then listen to this,“With an endless parade ofdistractions, political postur-ing and phony scandals,Washington has taken itseye off the ball.”

Phony Scandals?As Michael Graham re-

cently stated in his BostonHerald column, “Question:How many Americans haveto be murdered in an al-Qaeda attack on a U.S. con-sulate before it stops beinga phony’ scandal? Answer: IfBarack Obama is president,more than four.” Then thereis the N.S.A. domestic spy-ing and I.R.S. Gate.

Thank God the presidenthas so many lapdogs inthe liberal media distortingthe reality we face today asAmericans. According tothese folks, Republicans aresimply obstructionists fornot just rubber-stamping theObama legacy.

Democrats Can be Justas Dumb as GOP Too

Latest scandal hitting upclose and personal to anelected official is one MayorBob Filner who was the firstDemocrat elected Mayor ofSan Diego last November. Heacted like a complete idiotin his actions with a femalestaffer who went public withthis story. He now says hewill go into intensive behav-ioral therapy rather than goaway like most folks are nowdemanding. MSNBC hasbeen leading the charge toget him to resign. Filner

prior to being mayor was a19 year member of the U.S.House. While, the liberalsare focusing on him, therehas been little call by liber-als to get Anthony Weiner toget out of the Mayor’s Racein New York City.

Both these guys are dogsand deserve to be exiled to adog pound for good.

However, O’Reillydisagreed and thought thebest strategy would be tofund it, put it into action andwatch it fail. Rubio disagreedbut O’Reilly added that ifthe Republicans decided todefund the so-called Afford-able Health Care reform, theliberal media would just goon the attack saying theRepublicans don’t care aboutpoor people. The Republi-cans instead, he thought,should put everything intoplace and watch the Demo-crats’ reaction when thehealth care reform drops deadbefore it even reaches anemergency room. I say don’tde-fund it put it into actionand watch what happensnext. Another phony scandalcoming soon from the WhiteHouse. Can’t blame Repub-licans? Can’t blame Bush?Just call Ghostbusters?

THE VATICAN’S BANK: I.O.R. (Institute for ReligiousMissions) This institution answers only to the Pope. It hasa patrimony of 5 billion euro. Until now its manager hasbeen Ettore Gotti Tedeschi (since September 2009). TheI.O.R. was established by Pope Pious XII in 1942 to replacethe administration created by Leo XIII in 1877. By its ownstatute, the I.O.R. is the keeper of the Vatican’s real estateand its administration, owned or granted to the I.O.R. byindividuals or judicial entities. It can also accept bequestfrom people of the Holy See and of the Vatican State as anadministrative entity. The general administration of theI.O.R. is right inside the Holy See, although not officiallypart of Vatican City. All funds deposited at the I.O.R. do notbelong to the Holy See. It has its own independent budgetand its own administration (appointed by the Pope). TheI.O.R.’s identity is complex, not easily understood byMagistrates, who recall the events that involved the BancoAmbrosiano and its head who was found hanging in Londonin 1989, which prompted the Pope, John Paul II to amendthe statute (of the Vatican’s bank). The change madepossible and necessary to appoint a “Control Bureau,” con-sisting of five Cardinals who monitor the goings on of the“Supervising Council” made up of five lay people led by ageneral director who reports directly to the Pope. On Febru-ary 29, 2008 Pope Ratzinger changed the five Cardinalsafter appointing Cardinal Tarciso Bertone as State Secre-tary, replacing Cardinal Angelo Sodano, the monitoring com-mission that consists of the following Cardinals: AttilioNicora, Jean-Louis Tauran (chief of the Pontifical Councilpromoting the inter-religious Dialogue), Telefore PlacidiusToppo, and Odilo Pedro Scherer (Archbishop of San Paul,Brazil). People who have made deposits at the I.O.R. number33,000, mostly Europeans (two thirds are Italians), thenPolish, French, Spanish and Germans. Two thousand-seven hundred are only deposits belonging to African andSouth American congregations. People who intend to openan account must be a religious person (a nun or a priest),an Ambassador (Nunzio or Nuntio), a retired dependent ofVatican City, a diplomat accredited to the Holy See ormembers of the Pope’s immediate “family” (mainly peoplewho have received pontifical honors. About 15,000 accountsbelong to Priests, over 1,600 Bishops and most of theCardinals (about 210). No secret accounts or accounts withco-signers are accepted. The Pope has no personal account(he had one as a Cardinal). About 80% of the accounts belongto foundations, religious orders, Episcopal conferences,colleges and monasteries worldwide. The budget and themovement of funds are known only to the Pope, the Collegeof Cardinals, the Prelate of the Institute, the Council ofMonitoring and the Probation Office.

Harold & June andthe Dyer’s who’ve been sogenerous to us; theTraverse’s, Eddie and Irene,Dave and his Chiara’s ga-rage team, Neff, Christineand Jessie, the Holt’s downon Orleans with whom we’veshared the most gloriousparenting adventure, Joethe Mailman, Cesar from thecity’s recycling program,Senator Petruccelli who re-membered me as “EverettStreet” after but a few visitson business — these are thepeople in our neighborhoodwho’ve made it hard to imag-ine living anywhere else.

As Italians we are wellaware of the many men whohave had a great influencein Italy, such as the artistsMichelangelo, Leonardo DaVinci, Raphael and the sci-entists such as Enrico Fermi,Volta, Galileo and in themusical arts Verdi, Bellini,Gioachino Rossini, and somany more in their respec-tive fields. But let us not for-get some of the women ofItaly who were instrumentalin shaping the country.

Let us take a look at someof these women in chrono-logical order

If we go back in time tothe 11th and 12th centurywe come across Trotula ofSalerno. She worked inSalerno which at thattime was the center of me-dieval medicine throughoutEurope. She was a leader inwomen’s health being thefirst gynecologist in theworld and wrote books onDiseases of Women, Treat-ments for Women . Thesebooks became a source ofinformation on women’shealth for them as well as fordoctors who had little knowl-edge about the female body.

Catherine of Sienna(1347-1380) as one of the twopatron saints of Italy, theother being St. Francis ofAssisi, was a philosopherand a theologian. She wasan ambassador to PopesGregorio and Urbano VI. Itis also known that she wasinstrumental in her effortsto bring back the Pope toRome from Avignon.

Dorotea Bucca (1360-1436) was a physician andthe first woman to open thedoors to science in Europe.She was on the board of theUniversity of Bologna with achair in Medicine and Phi-losophy for more than fortyyears.

Artemisia Lomi-Gentileschi (1593 – 1653) agreat female painter. Shewas the first female painterthat was made a member ofthe Academia di Arte delDisegno in Florence. Duringthis time women were notable to study anatomy andnot allowed to view nudes.

She could not hire models topaint in her studio becausethis could have a detrimen-tal effect on her reputation.She is acknowledged asone accomplished painterduring the Caravaggiogeneration.

Elena Cornaro Piscopia(1646-1684) a Venetianmathematician, graduatedfrom the University of Paduain 1678 and the first womanin the world to be awarded auniversity degree.

Celia Grillo Borromeo(1684 – 1777) Born in Genoashe went on to become ascientist and mathemati-cian and famous for beingable to solve every mathproblem presented to her.She is credited with formu-lating the Clelie curvewhose formula she deter-mined to be: q=mf (“the lon-gitude and colatitude of apoint P on a sphere.”)

Maria Gaetana Agnesi(1718 – 1799) she was thefirst important woman inmathematics. Her first bookdiscusses differential andintegral calculus. She wasmade an honorary facultymember of the University ofBologna.

Eleonora de FonsecaPimentel (1752 – 1799) anItalian poet who was con-nected with the NeapolitanRevolution and was able tobring to Italy the values ofthe French Revolution.

Virginia Oldoini (1837 –1899) was well known forher association with Napo-leon III of France as his mis-tress. She also became wellknown in the early historyof photography. She was alsoquite vain, sending portraits

of herself to friends and ad-mirers. Unfortunately, asshe grew older she closetedherself in her room drapedwith black curtains andeliminated all mirrors.

Maria Montessori (1870 –1952) an educator, humani-tarian and a physician, shewas well-known for herpositions on education. Herphilosophy emphasized “in-dependence, freedom withinlimits, and to have respectfor a child’s psychologicaldevelopment.” Her ideaswere well received andmany schools were openedin her name around theworld. The following wereeducated at Montessorischools: Larry Page andSergey Brin, founders ofGoogle, Jeff Bezos, founderof Amazon.com, GabrielGarcia Marquez, Nobel Prizewinner for Literature, andmany others.

Grazia Deledda (1871 –1936) Italian writer, wonNobel Prize for Literature in1926. She was one of theleading figures in a move-ment called verism (Fromthe Italian word verita,meaning “ truth”) that Ital-ian composers, such asPuccini, used as romanticmeans to bring realism totheir operas. She was ableto bring the dialect of herregion and raise it to thelevel of literature and thuswas able to contribute to theevolution of Italian Litera-ture and language.

Anna Magnani (1908 –1973) what can be said of

Ms. Magnani that hasn’tbeen said many times. Shewas one of Italy’s treasuredactresses. She brought tothe screen a bold and truepicture of Italian women inthe post-war era. She wasexceptional at a time whenother Italian actresses wereknown for their glamourand sex symbol; she por-trayed women with sensual-ity and intelligence. Herportrayal of A Sicilian widow

in The Rose Tattoo won heran Academy Award. Thepart was written for her byTennessee Williams.

Rita Levi- Montalcini(1909 – 2012) we should allbe so lucky to live until weare 103 years old and accom-plish in our lives what shewas able to do with hers. Herfather, Adamo Levi was anelectrical engineer andmathematician, her mothera painter. Her father did notwant his children to attendcollege fearing that it wouldhamper them from becom-ing wives and mothers. Laterhe supported her in becom-ing a doctor. She went on tobecome a neurologist andone of Italy’s leading scien-tists and together with bio-chemist Stanley Cohen “re-ceived the 1986 Nobel Prizein Physiology of Medicine fortheir discovery of nervegrowth factor NGF.” This wassignificant in understandingcell and organ growth and itseffect on diseases such asAlzheimer’s, Parkinson’sand Cancer.

George “The Boomer” ScottPasses Away at Age 69Former Boston Red Sox

first baseman George “TheBoomer” Scott passed awayearlier this week in hishometown of Greenville, Mis-sissippi at age 69.

He will forever be one ofthe many faces of the 1967pennant union “ImpossibleDream” Red Sox.

He came up in 1966 as aslugging first baseman andbecame legendary duringthe 1967 season which gavebirth to Red Sox Nation.

More on “The Boomer”next week.

Dave Ortiz Getting aLittle Tired for Me

I think of David Ortiz asthe face of the franchise butlately he has been actinglike the king of the hill, topof the heap as Frank Sinatrasang about New York, NewYork. I still remember rightafter the Marathon Bomb-ings when he went up to themicrophone on the field andused the F-word in frontof a surprised and packedFenway Park. Most peopleapplauded him for speakingfrom the heart but I still don’tthink his choice of a wordwas praiseworthy. However,he has become the great andpowerful Oz on this team.

I take nothing away fromhis accomplishments since

coming to Boston from theTwins. I know he is a WalkAway Home Run King. Healso inspires many otherplayers. We also can’t forgetabout young fans who look upto him the way I once lookedup to Mickey Mantle as a kid.

Until the other day, I al-most forgot about his f-wordspeech at Fenway back inApril. Then, I saw yet an-other side of Ortiz. He strikesout at bat in a game the Soxhad a big lead. Instead of justreturning to the dugout withhis bat in hand, he decidedto go postal on the bullpenphone and smashed it andthe bat into pieces in a rageof violence. He needed to berestrained by others aroundhim. Total loss of control thatshould have scared the heckout of his teammates andfans nearby. He almost in-jured Dustin Pedroia in theprocess.

He needs to answer for hisoutrageous antics after astrikeout, especially whenyour team has as big a lead.It isn’t like he doesn’t strike-out a lot because he does. Hewas ejected from the gameas he should. Major LeagueBaseball needs to give hima hefty suspension too. TheBoston Red Sox probably willdo very little in responsesince he is the team’s faceas angry as he got last week-end in a game against theBaltimore Orioles and home-plate umpire Tim Timmons.He should be given a fine but

I won’t hold my breath wait-ing for it to happen.

He himself has written offthe escapade by saying, “I trynot to get to that point ...Things got out of control fora minute, but like I say, it’sover.” HOPEFULLY NOT!

Lester Back to Form,Buchholz Still Out

Jon Lester seems back inform with two good gamesrecently after a long stringof bad ones. He now has10 wins under his belt andhas surpassed the idle ClayBuchholz for most wins. Clayhasn’t pitched since goingon the DL back on June 8th

when he was seriously be-ing called a Cy Young kindof pitcher. The team hadbeen hoping for his returnbut he now says it may belate August or early Septem-ber before he feels comfort-able to pitch again. Says heis still paining too much topitch. This is why he willnever be a team ace. He istoo weak to pitch an entireseason without injury. Alsoanother reason he will nevermake big bucks in the bigleagues.

I am glad to see Lesterpitching better because JohnLackey can only carry thisteam forward so much.Lackey has become a goodnumber two pitcher. Thisteam still needs anotherquality starting pitcher inthe rotation if they hope tokeep pace with the quite hotTampa Bay Rays and holdoff the Orioles still breathingdown their neck. Otherwise,they will find themselvesin a battle for the bronzewith the NY Yankees and inbaseball there are no bronzewinners.

Meanwhile, there isBartolo Colon

Bartolo Colon is pitchinglike the face of the Ameri-can League, going 14-3 witha 2.54 ERA for the OaklandAthletics. He is over 40 yearsold and is pitching like some-one 20 years younger. Par-don me, if I doubt him but hedoes have a reported historywith doing bad things topitch great, doesn’t he? Justas most baseball fans thinkthat Roger Clemens wasjuicing since he left the Soxfor the Blue Jays and putthe “twilight of his career”behind him. I still think DanDuquette was right aboutthe twilight but sometimesplayers can hold off the twi-light for years to come. IsColon cheating, we don’tknow? Is he on Major LeagueBaseball’s radar, we alsodon’t know. Nowadays inbaseball, many players haveonly themselves to blame ifthey are considered guiltyuntil found innocent.

RUNNING ON ALL WHEELS— It was in back in Febru-ary 2011 when The Wheelscame off at the Garden. Thatwas when the Bruins sentBlake Wheeler on his waynear the trading deadline.

We say Wheels becausethat was Blake’s nicknamein the locker room at theGarden where he played formore than two and halfseasons wearing the Blackand Gold colors of the B’suniform.

But when he was traded tothe then Atlanta Thrashers(along with Mark Stuart) onFebruary 18, 2011 he wassomewhat in an underper-forming slump, having scoredjust 11 goals and adding 16assists for 27 points across58 games.

The team he was sent toproceeded to move on, leav-ing Atlanta to become thereincarnated Winnipeg Jetsat the start of the 2011-2012season. The team he leftmoved up — all the wayup — to claim the StanleyCup on June 15, 2011, aboutfour months after Wheelerdeparted Causeway Street.

Although missing the Cuprun was somewhat of adowner for Wheeler, a 6-5forward, he has become thesuccess story that he wasmeant to be — only now it isin Winnipeg. In the winddown days of a $5.1 millioncontract, he recently avoidedarbitration and signed a six-year deal with the Jets, atransaction that will keephim in Winnipeg for the next72 months and pay him$33.6 million over that span.

That’s his reward for histwo year performance withWinnipeg, where he mostrecently led the Jets in goals(19) during the 48-gamelockout-shortened regularseason. He also had 22assists for a total of 43points.

Big things were predictedearly on for Wheeler. In hisjunior year in high schoolthe Minnesota native led theentire hockey-mad state with45 goals and 55 assists dur-ing the 2003-2004 season.

And when it came to col-lege he stayed home, choos-ing to play for the traditionalin-state powerhouse (theUniversity of Minnesota)rather than sign with thePhoenix Coyotes, who hadselected him fifth overall inthe 2004 NHL Draft. Duringhis freshman season, therewas a preview of things tocome as he had 23 points in39 games while playing withfuture Bruin player PhilKessel.

Then, in 2007, he scoredthe winning goal in overtimeto lift the Golden Gophersover North Dakota in theWCHA championship game,earning him the tourna-ment MVP award. The nextyear he had 35 points in 44games.

Rather than sign with theCoyotes after all thosecollege years, he elected tobecome a free agent and inka contract with the B’s.When the 2008 regular sea-son opened, there was BlakeJames Wheeler in his rightwing position on Garden Ice.

His stats in the Hub weredecent but his productiondecreased each season, go-ing from 21-24-45 during the2008-2009 campaign to 18-20-38 in 2009-2010 to 11-16-27 for the 58 games heplayed on Causeway Streetin 2010-2011.

Sometimes, players simplyneed a change of venue —like Joe Thornton who wastraded to San Jose by formerBruins GM Mike O’Connellin late November 2005 andpromptly became the leagueMVP out there by winningthe Hart Trophy the verynext spring. He is the onlyplayer in NHL history to winthe award while playing fortwo different teams in thesame season.

Whatever, it appears thatWheeler, who resided inthe North End during hisyears with the Bruins, hasflourished with the Jets,leading the team in scoringwith a career high 64 points(17-47-64) in 2011-2012 andcoming right back to pacethe team again in the lock-out shortened season.

It’s a fact of life that some-times occurs with formerBruins players. When someleave town, they do betterelsewhere. Only time willtell whether Blake Wheeler,who will turn 27 later thismonth, will continue to benumbered among that group.

THE BIGGEST LOSERS —While the Brooklyn Nets mayindeed have the personnelto perhaps challenge Miamiin the NBA’s Eastern Con-ference, former Celtics PaulPierce, Kevin Garnett andJason Terry are in for quitea financial surprise as theymove to the Big Apple.

Primarily, welcome to tax-land. New York City has itsown city income tax. It’sgraduated and in its currentconfiguration the top rate in3.876 percent. For top mar-ried wage earners like thesethree, that’s about $38,760
