Bill Weld is Winning a One Person RaceHow Can He Lose?

Now that Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has decided he won’t run for the Republican nomination, Weld’s posi-tion as Trump’s only primary opponent has solidifi ed. But Weld faces an uphill climb — Trump raised $30 million in the fi rst quarter of the year, has solid sup-port among the GOP base, and has dispatched half a dozen staff to New Hampshire in an attempt to widen his path to victory in the general election. New Hampshire is where Weld is focusing much of his primary cam-paign. However, the race to fi nd a GOP challenger to face Trump is now a one man race with Weld acting as Wile E.Coyote waiting to be fl attened sooner than later.

SALLUST

The Ciceronian period in the “Golden Age” of ancient Roman literati (men of letters) continues with a brief account of the life of Gaius Sallustius Crispus, more commonly known as Sallust. He was born about 86 B.C. in the Sabine town of Amiternum. He became quaestor (treasury offi cer, and later became a “tri-bune of the plebs” (champion of the people). Enthusiasm for his work carried him to the point of committing adultery with Fausta, a daughter of the dictator Sulla, an act for which he was soundly beaten by her husband Titus Milo and was required to pay a sum of money. Because of this act, he was also expelled from the Senate.

Sallust supported Julius Caesar in many campaigns, but was also accused of mal-administration before Caesar. By some strange set of circum-stances, he appeared to have acquired great wealth during his public service and later built some expensive gardens

on the Quirinal Hill. For years, these gardens were known as the “Horti-Sallustiani” and they eventually became the property of the Roman emperors. Sallust retreated into privacy prior to the time of Caesar’s murder and devoted his remaining years to the writing of history. He died about 27 B.C., which was about four years before the battle of Actium.

Sallust is credited with at least fi ve literary works, the fi rst being The Catalina, which is a history of the conspiracy of Catiline, a brutal assassin. This history is valuable because Sallust was a living spectator of the events which he describes.

His second work is entitled Iugurtha, and is a history of the

Roman war against Iugurtha, the king of Numidia. The third history is mostly lost. It gave an account of the activities about the time when Cicero was a magistrate. Remaining fragments also relate to the war with Spartacus the gladiator. His fourth work is a collection of let-ters, which appear to have been addressed to Caesar during the Spanish campaign and his fi fth and last work is a double sort of literary effort entitled Speeches of Sallust, and Speeches of Cicero.

Some of the later Roman writ-ers believe that Sallust greatly infl uenced the style of Tacitus, the great historian of the Silver Age. The language of Sallust is generally clear, brief, well under-stood, and his efforts seem to be directed toward literary distinc-tion rather than research. Other non-Romans had written earlier histories of Rome, but Sallust is considered to be the fi rst Roman to do so. His history explains the basic causes of the events and actions that he depicts, and he makes his work more dramatic and readable by providing his major characters with effective speeches. The best feature of his work is undoubtedly his con-cise manner and freedom from superfl uous words. In keeping with the philosophy of Sallust regarding superfluous words … ciao.

Historic North Squareby Bennett Molinari and Richard Molinari

North Square, located in Boston’s North End is the old-est public square in Boston and one of its most historic sites. Known as Clark’s Square prior to 1788, the North End became a fashionable place to live. Wealthy families shared the neighborhood with artisans, journeymen, and Boston nota-bles. The Square was the site of Boston’s two grandest houses, a 3-story brick house with 26 lavish rooms owned by Boston merchant William Clark, and nearby, on Garden Court, was John Foster’s house, later occu-pied by Governor Hutchinson. In the early stages of the Revolution, anti-Stamp Act rioters attacked the Hutchinson Mansion on the evening of August 26, 1765, forcing then Lieutenant Governor Thomas Hutchinson to fl ee through his garden.

The Old North Meeting House located in North Square, the site of a house of worship since 1649, proximate to today’s

Sacred Heart Church, was dismantled by the British for use as firewood. During the Revolution, Rev. Lathrop, the Church rector, was known for his pro-Rebel sermons and ideas. During the siege of Boston, Gen. William Howe, Commander-in-Chief of British forces, issued orders to take down the Old North Meeting House, and 100 old wooden houses and other buildings to make use of for fi rewood.

North Square is made up of four important historical sites, The Pierce-Hichborn House, the oldest brick structure in Boston; the Paul Revere House, which speaks for itself; the Mariners House, the oldest full-service Seamen’s House in the United States, which in part was created by the Bethel, which is now Sacred Heart Church; and the fourth site, the centerpiece of the square is Sacred Heart Church soon to be commemorated in a bronze sculpture as part of the reno-vated Square.

Ah, summer — the time of vivid sunshine, warm breezes, and days spent relaxing at the beach. It is also the time when I crave fresh fruit the most. The early summer crop of June boasts some of the juiciest, most succulent fruit around. What constitutes summer if not a big bite out of a fi re-engine red watermelon, its pulp dis-integrating into a sweet and refreshing drink? What else can brighten June mornings like a pile of gem-hued strawberries artfully scattered over cereal or pancakes? What about the clinking of ice cubes fl oating in a glass of peach or cherry juice — doesn’t the mere thought of such a drink bring relief on a stifl ingly humid day? Yes, sum-mer fruits have always appealed to me, which is why I was both delighted and surprised to fi nd that they contain a wealth of folklore and superstitions woven between their stems and vines. So let us embark on a journey of taste and the sort of lore that has been handed down from our ancestors, originating from the days when agriculture formed the backbone of almost every society.

1) Cherries: I love to bake with cherries. Their tartness perfectly accentuates sweet cakes and muffins. On Memorial Day, I even made a fruit crisp with a blend of peaches and cherries, and it was simply sublime. If people loved cherries so much that they wanted to guarantee a good crop of them, a Swiss superstition states that the fi rst cherry of a tree must be eaten by a woman who recently gave birth to her fi rst child — hope-fully, the woman’s fertility would rub off on the tree and ensure a plethora of fruit for the next har-vest. Meanwhile, Italian author Andrea Malossini asserts that it is lucky to fi nd a twin cherry, or two cherries sharing a single stem. Another Italian proverb

Not long ago, the Boston news media reported on a fi eld trip by Dorchester middle school students to the Museum of Fine Arts. All it was supposed was a visit to the museum, but it turned into a lesson for all the students and the rest of us how vestiges of racism can show up anywhere; even on a museum fi eld trip. Recently, while over at the Kennedy Museum, I came across a quote from President Kennedy, “Our most basic com-mon link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.” A simple statement that says so much.

The experiences these young students endured means that we still have far to go when it comes to understanding the oneness we all share in our time on this planet. What these stu-dents heard from some adults

states “Giugno ciliege a pugno,” meaning that June has an abun-dance of cherries!

2) Strawberries: On June 17th, look up at the sky and feast your eyes on this month’s luminous full moon. If you do indeed catch a glimpse of the moon, you will see what is called the Full Strawberry Moon. The Algonquin tribes knew June’s full moon as such because it coincided with the time that strawberries were ripe for gath-ering. A quaint legend states that if a person breaks a double strawberry (two strawberries that somehow grew together in one) in half and shared it with another person, the two would be destined to fall in love. There is still some debate about how strawberries got their name. One version states that the little yellow seeds resembled fl ecks of straw, while another popular theory declares that the shoots of the plant would often be dispersed around the ground, leading the fruit to develop a name that derives from the Anglo-Saxon word for “strewn.” In Italy, strawberries are known as fragole and grow wild. They are enjoyed drizzled over panna cotta or marinated in balsamic syrup.

3) Peaches: Peaches are excel-lent in juices, in pies and just plain cut up in delectable slices. I know it is summer when I can smell peaches in the air. It was once believed that eating a peach would impart wisdom. They are also thought to bring longevity and keep evil spirits at bay — not bad for a fruit found readily in supermarkets everywhere! In China, the coun-try to which the fruit is native, peaches are closely associated with immortality and divinity. This is because the blossoms of the peach tree appear before the leaves do, an unusual occur-rence. As such, the Chinese will often adorn doorways and gates

with peach wood to drive away malevolent forces and attract good luck. In Italy, peach, or pesca, is a popular fl avor for marmalades, jams and pastries.

4) Melons: Yes, watermelons are the quintessential summer-time fruit for us in the United States, emblems of relaxation and hot weather. However, among the Romani people of the Balkans, watermelons have a far stranger connotation — vam-pires! According to folklore, a watermelon left alone at night on the full moon has the potential to turn into a vampire, rolling around and scaring townspeo-ple. The full moon also features in an Italian superstition about melons. Andrea Malossini writes that melons will grow fatter and fuller if planted under the full moon in March. Perhaps the hope is that they will grow to resemble the moon! For me, summer always meant my father bringing home and breaking open a fresh cantaloupe from an Italian market, revealing the sunny orange hue within. How I love these summer meloni!

So there you go, a sweet bevy of fruit folklore and superstition. Hopefully this adds more curios-ity and wonder to your enjoy-ment of Earth’s bounty during the summer months. Enjoy a season of fresh fruit and healthy eating — but please, keep an eye on any melons left out overnight!

in the museum, and I say some, because I really hope most of us would be offended by such remarks directed toward chil-dren of any color, was appalling.

Racism is still alive and well. Today, much of it is hidden behind a veil. Many folks hold views that still sicken me. These children will grow up but always remember their day at the museum. They will remember what it feels like to be viewed as less than fully human. They will remember how ignorant some adults are. Unfortunately, they have witnessed firsthand the ugliness of racism.

I grew up in the ’50s and ’60s and some might call me an old white guy. I don’t call myself old but others do and I just laugh at that adjective myself. However, I remember being 17 years old, going to the town of Natick with my brother and two friends, all of us from Roxbury. Oh, the other two kids were African American. We weren’t in town ten minutes before a police cruiser pulls up to us and tells us he’s had calls about some kids causing trouble in town. We told him we just got off the bus moments before. Didn’t matter, he waited at the bus stop with us until the bus to the Green Line pulled up. When the bus pulled up, we boarded and the police sergeant got back in his cruiser and drove away.

I know why this happened. If my two friends were white, we could have stayed in town as long as we wished. I under-stood then how my friends often felt, and how too many African Americans still feel today.

Jump forward to today. A few years back I was shopping at the Emerald Square Mall in Attleboro with my girlfriend. At one point, she told me that someone from store security was following us around. I turned around and there he was. Wherever we went, he went. I remembered back to that inci-dent in 1965, and jokingly said to my girlfriend, I think he’s watching you. She said of course he was because she was a black woman shopping in a store.

I think we are still today seeing the signs of some “benign” rac-ism, but it still looks malignant to me. No one is turning dogs loose or turning fi re hoses on but it is still racism, ugly and insulting. We should be doing better today and learning from history. Unfortunately, those young kids from Dorchester know that some bad history is still repeating itself today.

Mrs. Murphy . . . As I See ItState Represen-tat ive Adrian Madaro is hold-ing a fundraiser tonight at the

Hilton Gardens on Boardman Street at 6:00 p.m. Rep. Madaro always draws an enormous crowd of supporters, he is that popular. Contributions are most welcome! ... Encore Casino is set to open June 23rd. Encore recently paid a $35 million fi ne and is looking for-ward to going forward. I heard Encore hired 4,800 employees on a 90-day trial basis; those who do not perform to Casino standards will be let go. Also, rumors are these employees are only allowed to work 2 out of 7 days a week for a 90-day trial period. According to invitees, the Casino sent out invitations to a select group of people to attend a party two days before opening. These guests (must be high rollers and politicians) will be able to gamble, sample fine appetizers, entrees, and desserts from Casino restau-rants and get a visual tour of the Casino ... Looking back to Eastie history: Before the Latinos took up residence in East Boston, approximately (80% today), the fi rst to settle were the Irish and Canadians, then came the Russian Jews and the Italians. These people worked hard, kept the streets of East Boston clean, and did not ask, “What this country can do for ME.” European immigrants asked for noth-ing, became U.S. citizens, paid taxes, and expected nothing! The immigrants of yesteryear worked hard and supported themselves and their families! European immigrants did not expect welfare and social good-ies. Yesteryear’s immigrants made enormous contributions to East Boston with skills, raising their children to be respectful, and made their community proud! Eventually Southeast Asians arrived and then Latinos ... Refl ecting over the past fi fty-sixty years, many children of East Boston families achieved fame: Albert Fiandaca, East Boston High School gradu-

ate whose career sprouted into becoming a famous dress designer whose clients included Audrey Hepburn, Julie Andrews, Lady Bird Johnson, and other well-known fi gures. Papa Gino’s began as a small takeout on Bennington Street, called “Piece O’ Pizza” owned by Michael Valerio, an East Boston native, who later renamed the pizzeria “Papa Gino’s,” as suggested by his wife Helen Cassiconis Valerio of East Boston. Papa Gino’s has a total of 97 loca-tions. Sal Lombardo began with a butcher shop on Porter Street and parlayed his earnings into a dynasty of properties. He built the fi rst mall in East Boston, Liberty Plaza. The Dellaria brothers, owners of Dellaria Hair Salons whose salons were so famous they franchised the name. The Roberto family, own-ers of Spinelli’s, Louie, Rita, and Anthony’s mother immigrated to East Boston from Grappo, Italy and was supportive of her children when they pur-chased Spinelli’s Bakery. The Roberto’s (hard workers) have been in business for over 35 years having achieved a cater-ing business, banquet facilities, and properties. The Santarpio family patriarch of East Boston, opened the original pizzeria on Chelsea Street to cater to Italian Americans. Santarpio’s restaurant has enjoyed a good reputation for over 50 years. Frank Renzulli of Maverick Street became a well-known actor, writer, and producer who wrote The Sopranos and was an Emmy nominated Golden Globe winner. Tommy Rossi left for Hawaii in the eighties and became a successful busi-nessman owning 29 pizzerias in Hawaai. The list can go on. President John F. Kennedy’s great-grandfather settled in East Boston from Ireland. Joe Kennedy, JFK’s father, lived in East Boston on Webster Street with his wife Rose and family. The successful Kelley’s Pub, owned by John and Bernice “Vaccari” Mastrangelo both born in East Boston. Janice Vaccari Braccia and Robert Braccia owners of the popular

Braccia’s 66 Restaurant in Danvers. There are so many East Boston men and women from the forties, fifties, and sixties that went on to make a name. The Latinos, today’s ruling class in East Boston, will carry the torch, they have big shoes to fill. ... Let us remember Suffolk Downs, soon to become a memory. On August 18, 1966, the Beatles played a concert before 24,000 people in the infield of the Suffolk Downs Racetrack! ... Till next time!

• Tony DeMarco Inducted (Continued from Page 1)

Famer, Rip Valenti was Tony DeMarco’s manager. Al Valenti remarked, “Tony fought 16 champions or future champions, and boxed in the Boston Garden 26 times. Born on Fleet Street, Tony is the one single champion who represents Boston, the city of champions, like no other because he is a true Bostonian.”

“This is a great thrill for me” said DeMarco. “Winning the championship in my own neighborhood was the greatest moment of my life. I am truly humbled and thankful to all of my friends, family and fans.”

Fleet Street was renamed Tony DeMarco Way by former Mayor Menino, and in 2012, DeMarco was honored with a statue at the corner of Cross and Hanover streets, the entrance to Boston’s North End. There is an exhibit of Tony DeMarco’s personal boxing memorabilia in the Boston Sports Museum located in the TD Garden.

On Sunday June 9th, along with my wife Ellen, Post-Gazette publisher, Pam Donarumma and our friend, Louie Graffeo, I had the honor and privilege of attend-ing the Canastota, New York, International Boxing Hall of Fame induction ceremony for my mentor and our friend, Tony DeMarco. The following narrative that I wrote several years ago as the introduction to Tony’s book, Nardo: Memoirs of a Boxing Champion, epitomizes not only my personal love and respect for Tony, but in my opinion it represents the feelings of all those who have cheered for Tony, cried with Tony, and have always supported Tony. Congratulations Tony! We are all very, very proud of what you have accomplished. You have done so much for Boston and for our Italian heritage.

“As a little kid growing up in a very Italian neighbor-hood in Lawrence, Massachusetts, a mill city about thirty miles north of Boston, I remember my father as well as my grandfather watching the Gillette Cavalcade of Sports on Friday nights. Dad and Nanno actively followed the careers of the great Italian boxers repre-senting Italian Americans across the country.

Willie Pep, Tony Galento, Joey Giardello and Jake LaMotta were a few of the boxing legends they rooted for. However, there were two who stood out above the rest. One was from the blue collar shoe manufactur-ing town of Brockton, and the other was from Boston’s own North End. Both of these men became undisputed champions, and both were fi ercely proud of their Italian heritage. Rocky Marciano went on to become one of the greatest heavyweights of all time retiring undefeated at 49-0, but this story is not about him. This is the life story of one of the most beloved and respected athletes in the annals of Boston sports, Tony DeMarco.

I remember my dad talking about the night that Tony knocked out Johnny Saxton to win the undisputed Welterweight Championship in his own neighborhood, right at the Boston Garden. I use the word “undisputed”

Tony DeMarco represents all of us because he expe-rienced all of this at one time or another. Tony made it to the top of the mountain and when he climbed to the summit we all, vicariously through Tony, climbed that same mountain. Thank you Tony for making that steep climb and sharing it with all of us. You are a great champion and the people of the North End, City of Boston, and every Italian neighborhood in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, thank you for it. We all love you and are immensely proud of you … congratulations.

because there was only one champ in each weight division. Today you have many. My father spoke about the neighbors opening their windows and shouting in Italian “Campione de la Mondo, Campione de la Mondo;” “Champion of the World, Champion of the World.” He talked about that victory for many years. As a Sicilian family we were so proud that a Sicilian had won the crown.

Years later, long after my father and grandfather had passed on, I had the honor and pleasure to meet and become dear friends with Tony “Nardo” as he is affectionately known. There is a bit of dad in Tony, and there is a bit of Nanno. Every once in a while I see that wink, that nod, that mischievous smile that belonged only to a generation past of fathers and grandfathers who came from the old country. Tony represents all of these men. The habits, the mannerisms, the quirki-ness, it is all there.

The difference between Nardo and all of the others is that his life was magnifi ed by the fact that he was in the sporting limelight. Even though he became famous, Tony experienced the same joy and heartache over his life that I guess we all experience. This is a man who achieved greatness in his life, drifted a bit, and then overcame great obstacles to become a beloved fi gure in the boxing world as well as an ambassador for the sport and for his heritage.”

Tony DeMarco represents all of us. Those who worked in shoe factories, those who worked as laborers, those who became doctors, or lawyers, or yes, those who became bookies and bootleggers. Tony was cut from the same cloth we were all cut from. The common fab-ric that we have is our Italian pride and heritage. Our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents came to this country with very little, but most of us became very rich, not necessarily monetarily, but rich with tra-dition, family, happiness, and in some cases sadness.

Come and meet those dancing feet! The ultimate tap-danc-ing, show-biz musical sensa-tion, 42nd Street celebrates Broadway, Times Square, and the people who make magi-cal musical theatre hits the Ogunquit Playhouse stage June 19th through July 13th. The Ogunquit production is staged by Tony Award-nominee Randy Skinner, the creator of the Broadway revival and recent West End production of 42nd Street. The tap-dancing extrava-ganza stars Broadway’s Rachel York as Dorothy Brock, Steve Blanchard as Julian Marsh, Jessica Wockenfuss as Peggy Sawyer, Con O’Shea-Creal as Billy Lawlor, and features Emmy-Award-Winner Sally Struthers as Maggie Jones. The Ogunquit production of 42nd Street also features the Lawrence Olivier-nominated and Tony-nominated cos-tumes by Roger Kirk along with Douglas Schmidt’s Tony-nominated sets.

The delightful and dazzling show tells the story of aspiring chorus girl Peggy Sawyer who leaves her small town for the big city and soon lands her fi rst job in the ensemble of a glitzy new Broadway show. Mayhem and mirth ensue when just before opening night the leading lady breaks her ankle. Will Peggy be able to step in and become a star? The musical 42nd Street is based on the novel by Bradford Ropes with book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble. The score by Harry Warren (music) and Al Dubin (lyrics), is chock-full of Broadway standards, including “You’re Getting to Be a Habit with Me,” “Dames,” “We’re In the Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Shuffle off to Buffalo” and “Forty-Second Street.”

Rachel York returns to the Ogunquit Playhouse as Dorothy Brock, the quintessential Broadway diva. Ms. York last dazzled Playhouse audiences as the Lady of the Lake in Monty Python’s Spamalot. She was most recently seen on Broadway in the musical Head Over Heels, and is best known for her critically acclaimed Broadway performances in City of Angels, Les Misérables, Victor/Victoria (Drama Desk Award) with Dame Julie Andrews, and for her portrayal of Lucille Ball in the CBS TV movie, Lucy. Ms. York has stunned audiences of the stage, screen, and concert halls across the country through her numerous National Tours, regional theatre appearances, concert performances, and TV guest-starring roles.

Two-time Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award winner Sally Struthers joins the cast as Maggie Jones. Ms. Struthers is best known for her role as Gloria in the groundbreaking TV series, All in the Family as well as reprising that role in the series spin-off, Gloria. She also appeared on Fox television series 9 to 5, and in recurring roles on the CBS’s Still Standing and the CW network’s Gilmore Girls. Sally Struthers has per-formed many roles at Ogunquit Playhouse including Punky Olander in Grumpy Old Men the Musical, Evangeline Harcourt in Anything Goes, Duchess Estonia Dalworth in Nice Work If You Can Get It, Mama Morton in Chicago, and Paulette in Legally Blonde.

Broadway veteran, Steve Blanchard stars as the notori-ous Broadway director Julian Marsh. He is probably best known for his portrayal of Beast in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast in both the Broadway production and First National Tour. Other credits include Fred in A Christmas Carol, Lancelot in Camelot with Robert Goulet, Pulitzer in Disney’s Newsies, and Pa in Little House on the Prairie. Joining the cast as the starry-eyed chorus girl, Peggy Sawyer is Jessica Wockenfuss who also performed the role in the North Shore Music Theatre’s 2017 production. Off-Broadway, she has been seen in Hey, Look Me Over!, and Me and My Gal. Her National Tour credits include Jersey Boys, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, The Little Mermaid, and Monty Python’s Spamalot. Con O’Shea-Creal will make his Ogunquit Playhouse debut as Billy Lawlor. His Broadway credits include Irving Berlin’s White Christmas and Side Show, and he has performed in

many National Tours including Cameron Mackintosh’s Mary Poppins as Bert, Irving Berlin’s White Christmas with Randy Skinner, and Something Rotten.

The Ogunquit Playhouse pro-duction of 42nd Street includes one of the largest casts to ever hit the theatre’s stage. It fea-tures Ryan K. Bailer as Pat Denning, Cliff Bemis as Abner Dillon, Megan McLaughlin as Annie, Kilty Reidy as Bert Barry, and Jake Weinstein as Andy Lee. The ensemble includes Danielle Aliotta, Emily Applebaum, Willie Beaton II, Allison Blanchard, Quinten Patrick Busey, Brittany Cattaruzza, Alex Drost, Liz Friedmann, Patrick Heffernan, Alex John Johnson, Tommy Joscelyn, Trent Kidd, Ryan Koerber, Brianna Latrash, Lily Lewis, Elizabeth McGuire, Andrew Muylle, Melissa Schott, and Kristen Welsh.

CHURCH STAMPING$20 BILLS WITHTUBMAN FACE

A Boston church is stamping $20 bills with Harriet Tubman’s face. Congregants at Boston’s Hope Central Church were frustrated with waiting to see Harriet Tubman’s face on the $20 bill. So for the past month, they’ve been doing it them-selves. According to the Religion News Service, the progressive protestant church in Jamaica Plain has been gathering up all the twenties it receives in collec-tions and using stamps to blot out the face of President Andrew Jackson, replacing it with the iconic abolitionist famous for guiding escaped slaves along the Underground Railroad.

EAST BOSTON H.S.50TH REUNION

The East Boston High School Class of 1969 50th Reunion will be held on September 28th at the Winthrop Elks Lodge from 7:00 – 11:00 p.m. For more informa-tion, contact Corinne (Caggiano) Barisano at [email protected].

CITY COUNCILLOOKING AT

MEDICAL PARKING PERMITSBack in late April, the Boston

City Council met to discuss what to do about medical folks making house calls in Boston neighborhoods and also charg-ing folks for neighborhood parking stickers. To begin with, forget about charging folks for the right to park on their own neighborhood streets.

However, I don’t think we need special permits for home visits by nurses, home health, etc. How about just getting together with Boston Transportation Department and not ticket or towing motor vehicles parked for the above reasons. If there is an offi cial placard from these companies providing services to the home-bound, then walk on by. Isn’t it really that simple?

25 CUPS OF JOEI just read about a new study

that shows that the more cof-fee you drink the healthier you become. Even as much as 25 cups a day won’t hurt your heart. I fi nd it hard to believe. The most coffee I drank in one day was seven cups to chase down the one corn muffi n I pur-chased that day. I was so wired I could have lit a room up with all that overfl owing electricity. For years we have been told to not drink so much coffee and now just like every other health study, the right answers jump back and forth. It’s like watch-ing the weather on TV; nothing usually makes sense the follow-ing morning.

SPECIAL BULLETIN — This just in, another study now says drinking six or more cups a day can raise the risk of heart issues by up to 22 percent.

68TH ANNUALFLAG DAY PARADE

The City of Quincy will be holding its 68th Annual Flag Day Parade on Saturday, June 15 th. The ce remo-nies and fireworks will take

place at Pageant Field fol-lowing the parade a long Hancock Street starting at 7:00 p.m.

SAILING AWAYIN BOSTON HARBOR

I love Austin, but hate that it is land-locked. The nearest ocean water is 250 miles away in Corpus Christi. I never real-ized how important the ocean is to me. Recently, I took a sail around Boston Harbor as part of a cookout for the East Boston Soup Kitchen and so enjoyed the experience sailing around the harbor for a good 40 minutes.

WE DON’T NEED A STRAIGHT PARADE

I read that a group is planning to hold a Straight Pride Parade on August 31st, right here in Boston. I kid you not. The group has its own fl ag and wants it raised over City Hall Plaza, and says it has no quarrel with the organizers of the Pride Day Parade. In fact, if I read it cor-rectly, they would like LGBTQ to go to LGBTQS. Once again, I kid you not. They say they want to combat heterophobia, too. Hey, it’s great to be straight but I have many gay friends and none of them suffer from heteropho-bia. Can’t we all just get along and treat each other with equal respect. We don’t need a fl ag or parade to do that. There

has to be something more important for us all to focus upon.

SOMETHING NEW INBOSTON POLITICS

Usually, candidates for Boston City Council try never to say anything good or bad about one of their opponents, but I just found out that incumbent City Councilor Michelle Wu and Alejandra St. Gillen will both share the same campaign offi ce along with District 7 Councilor Kim Janey over in Roxbury up by Dudley. This has never hap-pened before! Is there some new political strategy taking over in Politics 101 today?

ROXBURYSTRATEGIC MASTER PLAN OVERSIGHT COMMITTEERecently, I attended a Roxbury

Strategic Master Plan Oversight Committee (what a mouthful, huh?), held at the Boston Water & Sewer Commission offi ce on Harrison Avenue (which once was the old Stride Rite/Green Shoe building). Long meeting, lots of back and forth, however, not sure the master plan talked about was that great. City offi -cials talked a lot.

Folks on the Master Plan Committee seemed serious about the neighborhood’s future and asked great ques-tions, but I’m not sure that City Hall is moving in the right direction. I walked through my old neighborhood that night down by Rosie’s Place. Hard to see yesterday, because the streets, houses, schools, and churches are basically parking lots! Lots 2, 3, and 4 covered about 90 percent of my Lower Roxbury community. When I asked what the replacement plan was for Lots 2, 3, and 4, they had no concrete answers for me accept the usual DOWN THE ROAD rhetoric.

As I walked up to Dudley, I didn’t see any Renaissance going on. I saw lots of stores that seemed doomed for clo-sure. I remember what kind of a business district this all used to be. It will be a long time, if ever, that this place gets reborn. I like being positive but not much positivity there now.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON (Vinyl)

Varése Sarabande RecordsNine years after its 2010

release, the Academy Award-nominated soundtrack to How to Train Your Dragon is fi nally getting a release on a Picture Disc LP. This version includes a 4-page foldout poster that focuses on the characters of this magical world f i l led with Vikings and Dragons. Contained are a dozen tracks composed and produced by Oscar-nominated composer, John Powell, a man best known for his scores for animated fi lms. The franchise follows the adventures of a young Viking, named Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, son of Stoick the Vast, leader of the Viking island of Berk. Although initially dis-missed as a clumsy and under-weight misfi t, he soon becomes renowned as a courageous expert in dragons, beginning with Toothless, a member of the rare Night Fury breed as his fl ying mount and his closest companion. Together with his friends, he manages the vil-lage’s allied dragon population in defense of his home as leader of a fl ying corps of dragon rid-ers. The director of the trilogy, described its story as “Hiccup’s coming of age,” taking a span of fi ve years between the fi rst and second fi lm, and a year between the second and third fi lm.

A little while later, a certain someone gets wet, creates a new Gremlin species, and learns to fi nally fi ght back after years of abuse, and while Gizmo and the surviving humans fight back, the Gremlins and their evil leader, the Brain Gremlin, are planning to escape when it gets dark, and if they do, New York City will experience a new Hell. Enjoy 31 tunes composed and conducted by Goldsmith, on what will surely be an ideal collector’s item for any movie fanatic.

THOMAS RHETT –CENTER POINT ROAD (CD)

Valory MusicThomas Rhett delivers his

fourth studio album, Center Point Road, a 16-track collec-tion entirely co-written and co-produced by Rhett, highlighted by the single “Look What God Gave Her.” Additional high-lights have the collaboration of, “Don’t Threaten Me With a Good Time” with Little Big Town, the album title track has Rhett joining country artist Kelsea Ballerina in delivering “Center Point Road,” and Jon Pardi whets listener’s appetite as he and Rhett explain “Beer Can’t Fix.” Sandwiched in between

are gems as the lift of “Up,” the complimentary “Blessed,” the nostalgic memory of “That Old Truck,” the temperature-rising “VHS (Very Hot Summer),” and fills the front side with “Notice,” a ‘here’s lookin’ at ya’ song. Second half favorites have the fine “Sand,” the benefits of “Things You Do For Love,” the flashback to youth via “Remember You Young,” the romantic “Don’t Stop Drivin’,” spinning our of control with “Barefoot,” a wife-salute with “Dream You Never Had,” and ends with a thank you to God for his blessed talents on the song “Almost.” Rhett covers all the bases while deliver-ing a ‘home run’ album that recently made history with over 33-million on-demand audio streams for its songs, the big-gest streaming debut week ever for a country album.

ALADDIN -SOUNDTRACK (CD)

Walt Disney RecordsAladdin: Original Motion

Picture Soundtrack is the 2019 release by Walt Disney Records, for the fi lm of the same name. Included in the soundtrack is a cover of “A Whole New World” performed by Zayn Malik and Zhavia Ward, plus songs from the original film, and a new song written by the original fi lm’s composer Alan Menken and lyrics penned by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. The new lyrics were penned by lyricists Benj Pasek and Justin Paul and added to Menken’s score. The latter duo also wrote the lyrics for a solo for the character of Jasmine, titled “Speechless,” the full version, which was performed by Naomi Scott. Additional highlights have two re-worked version of the song “Friend Like Me,” from the origi-nal fi lm, one performed in the fi lm by Will Smith as the Genie, and in the end title performed by Smith and DJ Khaled. This Disney experience CD contains a dozen songs and a score that includes another 37 delicious slices.

BROOKS & DAY –MYSIC MESSAGES (CD)

Daybrook RecordsLet your ears take you to the

magical land of new-age music, and directly to the musical world of Ben Brooks (fl ute and keyboards), and Peter Day (gui-tar and keyboards). Together this pairing created music that will caress your ears and mas-sage your mind on nine tracks. Add in the percussive genius of Rich Mangicaro, and contem-porary jazz artist Rob Mullins, who mixed the music while adding extra synth, piano, keys and bass. The musical mes-sages begin with the haunting, “Sacred City,” the poignant “A Song For My Father,” the fl ow-ing “Forgiveness,” the soaring title cut “Mystic Messages,” and mark the midpoint with the sol-emn “Equisse” which is loosely defi ned as a ‘rough sketch.’ The remaining cuts include, the pensive “Secrets of the Lotus,” followed by the encouraging strains of “Hopeland,” then take us on a roller-coaster ride of emotions with “Soaring,” before finishing up their satisfying album with the aptly titled “No Regrets.”

Recipes from the Homelandby Vita Orlando Sinopoli

COPYRIGHT, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

To those of you who called, sent get well cards, or emailed me to check on my health, I thank you so much. I think it’s time for me to tell you exactly what happened. I was not sick, I was injured and it all happened just minutes after I returned home from spending the winter in Florida.

Seeing I write my column on a computer and email it to the paper, I can do it from any-where, and for the past couple of years it has been Florida during the winter months. Well, anyway, the winter was over, and it was time to come home. My wife’s cousin picked us up at the airport and brought us home. Once in the house, I headed upstairs to our bedroom to get Cousin John something I had promised him. En route down to the fi rst fl oor, that’s when everything happened.

I was holding on to the rail-ing with my right hand, but I felt my right leg go from under me. I grabbed the railing with my left hand to help strengthen my support, but my left leg fol-lowed suit and went from under me. The next thing I knew, I was sitting on the bottom step of the staircase with my legs tucked under me facing back-ward. I was in extreme pain and couldn’t move my legs at all. Loretta called 911, and when the medics arrived, they put me on a stretcher, straightened my legs and transported me to the nearest hospital, which is Mount Auburn in Cambridge, not far from where we live.

Much of the happenings after arriving there is a blur, I don’t remember, a situation which tells me I was in a state of shock to some degree. A surgeon was selected and I was told that he was going to re-attach my quads. It seems that I tore the quadriceps out of their locations in each knee and they had to be re-attached. When I fi nally realized what had happened, I was in recovery wearing a hospital Johnny and braces on both legs.

A day later, I was shipped to a rehab center in Woburn and remained there for the next two weeks, hopefully to learn to walk again. I can’t complain about the treatment I received while I was convalescing. I had two medical doctors, one psy-chiatrist, four nurses, one phys-ical therapist, one occupational therapist and a nutritionist visit me every day, and during the day, the two therapists kept me on the go, relearning how to do things with the leg braces hampering my every move.

Finally, they determined that it was time for me to go home. Loretta picked me up in my own car, a sedan that is larger than most, a fact that gave me easy access to the right front seat. I made it up the steps to my front door and to make life easier for me, Loretta moved all my neces-sities to the fi rst fl oor where the den is located, a room that has become my bedroom, offi ce and man cave.

During the week, I have visit-ing nurses, occupational thera-pists, physical therapists, and a woman named Gigi who helps me to bathe, something I still find embarrassing, but what the heck. Earlier this week, I headed back to Mt. Auburn hospital to visit with the sur-geon, a Dr. Thomas Burke, who performed the operation. After examining me, he announced that I no longer needed the leg braces, the two devices strapped on my legs from my ankles to my crotch. They kept my legs straight for a month and now could come off so I could bend my knees and learn how to walk with the aid of a walker. He added that I could not drive for a month or so, was stuck using the walker for a year and should consider hold-ing on to a walking stick (cane) for the next couple of years. As I sit here writing this column, I am also awaiting a visit from a nurse, so the therapy follows me, almost on a daily basis.

I can’t complain. I have heard horror stories about the treat-ment some people have received when they were in need and beyond. Fortunately, I expe-rienced just the opposite. The other thing I experienced was a constant fl ow of friends visiting me when I was in rehab and now, while I am convalescing at home. I have also received cards from friends from all over the country. The attention I’ve received from my pals is very humbling, to say the least.

I remember the family dealing with Babbononno when he got up there in years and needed medical attention. Mom, Dad, Uncles Paul, Nick, and Gino and their wives were at the hospital attending to the last member of that fi rst generation in America, and they were there morning, noon and night.

I went through the same sce-nario with Dad when he was in his late seventies and started to breed aneurisms in several arterial locations. He only made it to 81, before one fi nally burst and claimed his life. Mom, on the other hand, made it to almost 100 and was never sick.

My kids, too, experienced good health all of their young lives and we didn’t have to deal with some of the childhood illnesses other parents did. Loretta gave birth to two jocks, a fact that allowed them to be very athletic and experience good health as young men.

Babbononno had a remedy for every illness he experienced. A good sized shot of cognac was always part of the self treatment. As a matter of fact, Grandpa Christoforo gargled with a shot of Hennessey’s every morning, a situation that may have kept the germs away. Babbononno was the one, though. Whenever he had a problem, he had a cure for it. He inhaled warm salt water to clear his sinuses, a form of neti pot therapy used today. Brioschi cured any stomach ailment, and a wad of chewed tobacco on an open wound kept the germs out. Once or twice a year, he would visit with Dr. Rose Jannini, the family doctor. When Nanna was alive, Dr. Rose would check her out and then Babbononno at her home offi ce in Winthrop and add in tea and cookies to boot.

This is the way it was, until recently. I experienced brain surgery a few years ago, and now the ripped quads in my legs. Both have set me back a peg or two, but I’m doing my best handling the latest prob-lem. To compromise, I think I am going to retire from teach-ing and just concentrate of the two books I’m writing, and of course, this column which, turned 28 on May 15th. I can do the writing from my computer at home, but the teaching, walk-ing to the buildings with a back pack fi lled with materials while holding onto a walker might be pushing it too far. So, maybe it’s time to call it quits … we’ll see.

I will keep you posted, but in the meantime, thanks for your concerns while I was down for the count, the cards, the emails and the texts … they kept my spirits up all of the time.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

ROASTED (BROILED)RED BELL PEPPERS

Wash and dry red peppers thoroughly. Place them whole on a broiling tray under the broiler. Broil until the outer skin of pepper begins to darken. Check frequently by removing from oven and turn each pep-per as it blackens. It only takes a few minutes for the skin to blacken. (If left under broiler too long, the pepper will burn.) Continue broiling and turning in this fashion until most of the outer skin of each pepper has blackened though not neces-sarily the entire pepper. Remove peppers from oven.

The CYO St. Leonard’s Nazzaro Center Knights 2016 High School Division State Championship team fi nally received some overdue recognition. This was the furthest a North End CYO team had advanced in this league in the twenty years of its existence.

The 2016 North End Knights were a two-time league champion, they had made the State Championship in 2015, but had been elim-inated. In 2016, this same team was determined to advance further and they did just that by making it to the Regional Tournament fi nals held in Connecticut. This team was led by Coaches Joseph Valarese, Kenneth Lanza, and Michael Mustacchio; players were Ryan Alves, Alex Balzano Vance Battersby Grassa, Jase Cherchi, Evan Frechette, Peter Luongo, Tim Martin, Nicolas Mustacchio, Lorenzo Pantaleo, Michael Pittore, Anthony Ruzzo, Christopher Troiano, Michael Troiano, and Guarino Vilar.

They were a team in every sense of the word, playing and hustling for each other, each player contributing to this historic run and they should be applauded for accomplishing such a great feat.

Thanks to the generosity of the Madonna Della Cava Club which donated the banner and the Nazzaro Center Steven Siciliano, who donated space for this little party and made the night possible.

This team was cut from the same stone as the North End, where it is understood that to accomplish anything you need to work hard, be passionate, and determined. The team looks forward to seeing the banner hanging in the Nazzaro Center gym, where other Knights teams can draw inspiration as they look to the scoreboard and banner. Other teams can say with hard work, passion, and determination our team has the opportunity to reach and more importantly attain those same high goals. Their wish is that another North End team will accomplish the same feat as them and perhaps win the Regional Tournament Championship! Thanks to everyone for helping make this a great time.

tors that he characterized as “social justice” district attorneys. Granting that O’Keefe was enti-tled to his opinion, Rollins told Jim Braude on Greater Boston that it was “odd that rather than focusing on [his own] county, he’s focusing on mine.” But, Rollins added, “I’m less disappointed with DA O’Keefe than I am with the Globe.” She criticized the Globe’s deci-sion to publish a piece that she, in essence, called overly “rhetorical.”

Lately, all across the country I see social justice warriors run-ning for low level elected jobs as prosecutors who seem more concerned with all of society ills rather than with actually using the law to keep our streets safer for the law-abiding folks.

Washington, too is OnThe Chopping Block

Forget about that famous cherry tree he chopped down, liberals, progressives, and socialists HATE him because he had slaves on his planta-tion. In the State of California, students at George Washington High School (outside the looney bin called San Francisco) there is a student-led movement to take down all the paintings of George Washington because they don’t want to be trauma-tized any longer.

Hey, don’t these students know that without George Washington, we might still be saluting the Union Jack, or maybe they would like that. I want to thank John Ciccone from South Boston Today for passing this story on to me.Buttigieg Slams Trump Over

“White Identity Polices”Mayor Pete Buttigieg from

South Bend, Indiana keeps making news with silly ideas. He thinks the name Thomas Jefferson should be stripped

• News Briefs (Continued from Page 1)

from buildings, schools, events, anywhere or anything. I guess that means a nickel, too, His plan isn’t worth two cents to me or most Americans. According to Buttigieg, Jefferson knew slav-ery was wrong but kept slaves; how 18th-century of him.

Also, Buttigieg using the Wall issue said, “the very real walls being put up is between us, as we get divided and carved up.” Good old Buttigieg says Trump uses “the most divisive form of Identity Politics —white identity politics.” Mayor Buttigieg should be taking a good hard look at the Democrat Party, which really uses Identity Politics to the max pitting voting blocs against one another. For Pete’s Sake, go back to South Bend home of the “Fighting Irishmen.”

Bill Buckner Always Remembered for

1986 Series ErrorBaseball player Bill Buckner

forever linked with that infa-mous 1986 World Series error at fi rst base in Game 6 was a great ballplayer for 22 seasons but that one error between his legs into right fi eld defi ned his career in the eyes of many fans. He was a star hitter with great stats. Lifetime average: .289, 2,715 hits, NL batting champ in 1980, struck out just 453 in career plate appearances. He played for the Dodgers, Cubs, Red Sox, Angels, Royals and he returned to Boston for his fi nal year in 1990 but that one error is all many people remember.

In 2008, he returned to Fenway Park to throw out the fi rst ball in the season open-ing game. He didn’t know what to expect but as he walked in from the Green Monstah in left fi eld, he drew large cheers. They sound must have brought a smile to his face and tears in his eyes. He was remembered as a great member of Red Sox Nation.

Buckner came up with the Dodgers in 1969 at 19 years old, won a batting title with the Cubs and played until he was 40 years old. It is a shame as Boston Globe sports writer Peter Abraham stated “It’s a shame that it took his death for some people to be reminded just how good of a player (he) was.”

Usually late in games back in 1986, Buckner would get replaced by Dave Stapleton for defensive reasons but not in THAT Game. Personally, I never blamed him for losing that game and series; I always blamed Roger Clemens who was dam awful in post-season that year.

Once Buckner told report-ers, he would never forget that Game 6 error and that the

memory would go with him to his grave. Sadly, it didn’t as his recent passing came after a long battle with dementia. I think God was kind to him in that regard.

There’s Only OneTom Terrifi c

Recently, I read that New England Patriots QB Tom Brady fi le to trademark the moniker “TOM TERRIFIC” the nickname of Mets Hall of Famer Tommy Seaver nearly a decade before Number 12 was even born.

NY Mets fans went crazy when they heard this news I was astounded by it too. Brady’s trademark application for “TOM TERRIFIC” was made by his company, TEB Capital

and “Tom Terrific” is listed among Brady’s nicknames on ProFootballReference.com.

Seaver entered the Hall of Fame in 1992. Now, 74, he has been diagnosed with dementia this past March. Tom Seaver will always be Tom Terrifi c to me.

A New Yaz in BaseballRecently, Mike Yastrzemski

the grandson of Carl Yastrzemski was called up by the Giants and put into the starting lineup. The young “Yaz” was hitting .316 in 40 games at Triple A Sacramento with 12 homers and 25 RBI. I can still remem-ber back at 13 years old read-ing a news paper clipping on Carl Yastrzemski when he was called up to the Sox from Triple A Minneapolis. Time speeds by so quickly.

Meanwhile,Another Biggio, Too

Recently Toronto prospect Cavan Biggio, the son of Hall of Famer Craig Biggio was called up to the Blue Jays and made his debut against the Padres. He was hitting .207 with 6 hom-ers and 26 RBI in 42 games down in Triple A.

Happy Birthday To ... Mike Stanton just turned 52

years old and while he is best known as a NY Yankees player, he did play in 81 games for the Red Sox in 1995-96 and one game in 2005. He appeared in 53 postseason games too and now works for MLB Network Radio.

Ali vs. Liston 2Did the Fans Get Their Money’s Worth? In Boston They Did

Boxing RingsideWITH BOBBY FRANKLIN

Boston Sports Writer Larry Clafl in and Ted Whitfi eld

Sam Silverman

Referee Jersey Joe Walcott, Ali, and Liston

It commenced and concluded in a most distinctive way, and perhaps that is the most fi tting for the journey and odyssey that comprised the complete experi-ence of the 2018-2019 Boston Bruins.

In terms of actual mileage accrued during the season it was close to a circumnavigation of the globe, which was a fi tting symbol for a team that had come full circle — one that had ques-tions in September during its formation but grew in strength during the regular season and blossomed in the spotlight of the postseason run.

You may recall — and it really does seem a long time ago — that the Bruins saw their fi rst action in a pair of preseason contests against the Calgary Flames — played half a world away in China less than two weeks after Labor Day. When the B’s got back, 30 other NHL teams were also looking forward to the upcoming campaign.

When the fi nal contest was played — on a late spring night at the TD Garden some nine months later — just blocks away from the heart of the Hub’s historic North End, there were only two still standing, the town was bathed in Black and Gold and the long journey had been completed.

Fittingly, it was the fi rst time in their history that the Bruins would complete their postsea-son with a deciding Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final being contested here in the Hub. It’s worth noting that the Bruins had the second highest number of regular season victories in the Eastern Conference (49) after Tampa Bay, despite having a few bumps in the road early on. However, they were able to over-come them with a strong second half, including a stellar 11-0-2 record for February.

They got to their strong post-season position as a team, of course, but also because of the performance and leadership of several players. Brad Marchand was the regular season paceset-ter in points with 100 on the board by scoring 36 goals and assisting on 64 others while David Pastrnak led the way in goals scored and was second in points produced (38-43-81). Patrice Bergeron followed at 32-47-79 while David Krejci was next (20-53-73). Defenseman Tory Krug was big in the assist department (6-47-53) while Captain Zdeno Chara, the tall-est player in the NHL at 6-9 and the team’s senior statesman, provided leadership both on and off the ice.

When Chara left the ice follow-ing an injury to his jaw in Game 4 of the Final, there was much speculation concerning whether he would play in Game 5. The standing ovation he received just prior to the start of the game was one of the most emotional scenes in Boston sports history.

And yes, Rask was ready in the nets. It was Tuukka’s time to shine and overall he did just that. The Bruins played a total of 24 games in the 2019 post-season and through 23 of them, Rask had a sparkling 1.92 goals against average.

He was especially effective in the three elimination games

that saw the B’s dispatch a trio of opponents on their path to the Stanley Cup Final. In those closeout games, all Rask did was post a 5-1 victory over Toronto, followed by a 3-0 shutout over Columbus, and a 4-0 white-washing of Carolina.

And, for Coach Bruce Cassidy, it has also been the experience of a lifetime. Injuries curtailed his career as a player and later he was dismissed as the head coach of the Washington Capitals. Life, of course, goes on. He was an assistant in Chicago for a season and eventually would become an assistant with the Providence Bruins. Three years later, he was named head coach, a position he held for fi ve years before being elevated to the top position on Causeway Street in February 2017, following the dismissal of Claude Julien.

The transition for many of the players was seamless, since a good number had played for Cassidy in Providence and all had worked with him for the sev-eral months he was behind the Boston bench as an assistant. As a man in his 50’s he experi-enced the pinnacle of directing a team in the Stanley Cup Final.

And perhaps the person who deserves more of a share of the spotlight than he has received is Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney. A Bruins lifer if ever there was one, he accomplished what general managers are sup-posed to do — assemble a team that is able to contend for the Stanley Cup Championship.

A Bruins draft pick who played all but one year of his NHL career for the B’s, he was often somewhat overlooked during his active career as a defenseman because of his teammate in the Bruins back end — star defense-man Ray Bourque.

After a year away from the game, he would join the Bruins front offi ce, work his way up and eventually be named General Manager following the dismissal of Peter Chiarelli in April, 2015.

There’s no doubt that the General Manager’s seat has been a position that is not for the timid in contemporary times. The Black and Gold did not qualify for the playoffs in his fi rst season, lost in the fi rst round to Ottawa in his second, and were bounced in the second round by Tampa Bay in his third year.

So yes, the GM’s seat was warm and moving to hot, but this year’s overall results should quell the qualms of any doubt-ers. He had a fi ne fourth season in the executive’s chair and is well-positioned to continue into the future.

And we would be remiss if we did not thank the loyal and diligent employees of the Bruins media relations department — including Vice President Matt Chmura, plus Sarah McMahon, Travis Basciotta, Brandon McNelis, and Heidi Holland (a veteran staffer who authors the game notes that are distrib-uted to media members prior to each contest). The hospital-ity and professional courtesies extended to us were very much appreciated.

Simply put, it was a most memorable year for all those privileged to be associated with the 2018-2019 Boston Bruins.

On May 25, 1965, one of the most controversial fights in Heavyweight Championship history took place in Lewiston, Maine. A year and a half before, the same two fighters were involved in another fi ght that would go down in history for the controversy surrounding how it ended. Sonny Liston and Cassius Clay, who would be known as Muhammad Ali by the time of their rematch, will be forever linked in boxing history, not because they fought two epic battles, but rather because of the unsolvable mysteries that will always hang over how their fi ghts ended.

After Liston quit in the corner in their fi rst fi ght a rematch was signed. The fi ght was to take place in Boston, and it would be promoter Sam Silverman’s fi rst time staging a heavyweight title fi ght. Sam had always dreamed of this day; after all, he had staged 31 of Rocky Marciano’s fights, but was never given the opportunity to bring the Champion Marciano to Boston to defend the crown.

The fight, scheduled for November 16, 1964, looked to be an interesting one. By all accounts, Liston was training hard and was fully intent on retaking the crown. He was com-ing to Boston to win.

Then something happened that not only caused the fi ght to be postponed, but eventu-ally led to it being banned in Boston. Three days before the two were scheduled to step into the ring Ali told his handlers he was in a great deal of pain. He was taken from his suite at the Sherry Biltmore Hotel to Boston City Hospital where he was diagnosed with an incarcerated inguinal hernia. Upon hearing the news, Liston bought two bottles of vodka, which he took to his room at the Hotel Touraine where he got drunk and tore up the room.

The fi ght was to be resched-uled for Boston, but District Attorney Garrett Byrne stepped in and prevented that from hap-pening. He found evidence that Sam Silverman was working as a front man for Intercontinental Promotions, which had ties to the mob. When he threat-ened to investigate, the folks at Intercontinental pulled out. The last thing they wanted was a government prosecutor looking into their business.

The fight, which no state wanted, ended up in Lewiston,

Maine. It took place on May 25, 1965, and was held at St. Dominic’s Arena, which had a seating capacity of roughly 5,000. It turns out even that was too large as only 2,434 fans showed up.

It was a beautiful spring day in Lewiston and at the weigh-in earlier in the day held in the ring where Liston and Ali would later fight, the two appeared playful. In stark contrast to the dour aura Liston had about him before the first fight, he was actually smiling as he and Ali pretended to go at each other. The Bear was not looking par-ticularly vicious at this point.

By evening, the arena had gotten quite hot and humid. A Marine color guard was in the ring while Robert Goulet sang the National Anthem. This is where things started to go wrong. The Anthem began while Liston was climbing the stairs into the ring and Ali had yet to arrive. Goulet, a Canadian, got the words wrong.

Famed ring announcer Johnny Addie was brought in to make the introductions. Heavyweight Champions Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, James J. Braddock, Floyd Patterson Jack Sharkey, as well as Sandy Saddler, Willie Pep, and Jose Torres were all in the ring before the start of the fi ght.

I don’t think there is anybody who isn’t familiar with what hap-pened when the bell rang for the fi rst round. Most people believe Liston took a dive. There are arguments over whether Liston

was legitimately decked and chose not to get up, whether he went down on his own volition, or if he was legitimately knocked out. Only Liston knows for sure and he has taken that secret to the grave. And, it could be said, even he didn’t know for sure.

Meanwhile in Boston, Sam Silverman got the consolation prize of putting on the closed circuit broadcast of the fi ght in the Boston Garden. Most closed circuit showings of fi ghts back then were held in theaters, where all fans got in for the price of admission. Sam was different, just about every time he pro-moted a televised broadcast of a fi ght he also put on a live card. This night was no different, and it was quite an evening of box-ing. In fact, even if the Ali/Liston fi ght wasn’t taking place this would have been a great evening of boxing. Tickets were priced at only $5, $6, and $7, and the main event was between up-and-coming star Ted Whitfi eld and the great Gaspar Ortega. Whitfi eld, a former amateur star, was in only his 14th pro fi ght versus Ortega’s 172 fi ghts. Even though Gaspar’s career was winding down, this was still a stiff test for the young Whitfi eld who passed it with fl ying colors while putting on a great perfor-mance in winning a ten round decision.

The rest of the card included Marion Connor winning over Edwin Perry, Dick Greatorex defeating Charley Polite, and Mike Ryan beating Sammy Cooley Campbell. The fans in Boston also got to see something the crowd in Lewiston didn’t. They were able to see a replay of the Liston/Ali bout, so those who blinked when the end came had a second chance to see it.

I believe there was only one other location in the country that had a live card along with the closed circuit broadcast. That was in Allentown, PA.

While the Lewiston promotion drew only a handful of people, there were 9,700 fans at the Boston Garden producing a gate that totaled $47,000. Sam Silverman made a tidy profi t that night, and very likely more than if he had staged the title fi ght in Boston. When asked about this Sam said, “I like the money, but I wanted the fi ght. It comes only once in a lifetime.”

In retrospect, the attendees at the Lewiston fi ght did get their money’s worth, though at the time they probably didn’t believe that. It turned out they were at one of the events in boxing history that will never be forgot-ten. The fans in Boston got to see a great night of boxing, and also got to witness that historic moment live but on television. That makes them all witnesses to history.

As for Ted Whitfi eld, the prom-ising welterweight never lived up to expectations. While an extraordinarily talented fi ghter, he did not have the self-dis-cipline to exploit his gift. He would win more straight after the Ortega fi ght and then lose his next fi ve in a row. He had the potential to be a champion, but not the desire.
