students in math, knits for a prayer

shawl ministry, and works part-time.

As part of the program, Cho

traveled to Bentley University for

the MA HOBY three-day semi-

nar, where she met distinguished

leaders, developed leadership skills,

and met other students from across

the Commonwealth. Our days

were packed from breakfast until

after dinner. It was a great experi-ence. We heard an eight-year-old

patient from St. Jude Childrens

Hospital speak with her mom.

They talked about the dedication

of the doctors and other medical

professionals to their work. Ive

thought about oncology before

and it did make me think about it

again, said Cho, who is leaning

toward a biomedical engineering

major for college. We also made

cards for patients. We had to really

think about to writethey told us

you couldnt say get better soon

thats not necessarily the case for

all kids.

Approximately 220 high school

students participate in the seminar

every year, according to Gail El-

more, President of MA HOBY.

We address the three phases of

leadership individual, group and

societal. For each of the phases, we

have a speaker and an activity to

emphasize the lessons taught, she

said. We believe our methods will

empower students by giving them

tools to know their own leadership

style, lead within a group to excelin society, and have a positive im-

pact in the betterment of all. This

is in keeping with our taglineem-

power, lead, excel.

Life is Good co-founder John

Jacobs talked about a different way

to view work. He said You need

to look at how you get to do things

versus that you have to do things.

He began selling t-shirts on thestreet with his brother and kept

pushing forward. It turned into

him finding a business later. I think

he was my favorite speaker, Cho

said.Students were put into groups

to put what each leader said into

practice. We worked in groups of

10 or 11 students talking about

what the speakers said about lead-

ership. Then, we did a survey that

correlated what type of leader we

were using animalseagle, beaver,

buffalo or mouse. I was between

an eagle and buffalo, but a friendsaid I was more like the first, Cho

said. In addition to attending the

seminar, students can choose to

participate in volunteer opportuni-

ties each month organized

through MA HOBY. We empha-

size the importance of giving back

and as an organization we volun-

teer 7,000 hours a year. Many of

the events we help at are fundrais-ers, which are crucial to the ongo-

ing success of the organizations.

Therefore, as volunteers, we are

often given responsible roles which

allow further development of lead-

ership skills which in turn, devel-

ops confidence, said Elmore. On

average, about 50 students partic-

ipate per event.

In August, Cho spent three

days in a dorm on the UMASS-

Amherst campus to help out with

the Special Olympics. We helped

out in the bocce, softball and cy-

cling area. I called out names of

the players at softball and the plays

too. When you called the name

and number of the athletes, they

would wave and get very excited.One woman missed every time she

got up to bat, but she still tried and

her teammates kept encouraging

her. It showed the resilience to

keep on trying, Cho said. We

also spent a lot of time talking to

the athletes. The experience

changed my perspective on inter-

action with those with special

needsthey are easy to get to knowif you give them the time. They

are very funny too.

about a war that was won and over.

There is no purpose to regime changein Afghanistan. We had regime

change in Iraq. We took out the Tal-

iban in Afghanistan. I used to make

fun of liberals when they were hyster-

ical about Iraq. Pointing out they

hadnt made a peep about

Afghanistan because we had done all

we ever, ever possibly could accom-

plish in Afghanistan within about six

weeks maybe six months.You know, I agree with that, but the

lass must have amnesia. It was the

previous administration that instead

of bugging out after beating the Tal-

iban decided to stay and make the

place another Kansas, or something.

HC; How about the Free Syr..,

Hey Ann, How about the Free Syrian

Army The Free Syrian army we were

gonna be with them right we were

gonna bomb Assad for them. Then

Obama said no we cant really bomb

them were not gonna bomb Assad be-cause the free Syrian army is worth-

less its just a bunch of farmers and

lawyers and pharmacists and theyre

no damn good and so then the free

Syrian army took two American jour-

nalists, so called Sotloff and Foley, and

sold them to the ISIS so they could be

beheaded and shortly after they sold

them to the ISIS we decided they

were going to be our allies on theground.

Again, something I can under-

stand, but it was never a good idea to

put our nose into the Syrian tent.

Give Obama some credit. He let

himself get bailed out by Putin on this.

Its so-called conservatives, McCain

and Lindsay Graham, who were hot

to bomb.

Morchoe on H. Carr and A. CoulterSchiava.Their wines deliver the sense of

place that I look for and a stylistic vi-

sion. They all have fine texture and ex-

cellent balance with pure flavors that

are textbook examples of their grapetypes. These are elegant wines that

match well with foods and they are

very fine values at less than $20.00.

The Gouguenheim Winery is

our most reliable Argentine pro-

ducer each year. Winemaker Patricio

Gouguenheims grapes come from

the best growing sub-region of Men-

doza. The winery produces a wide

range of wines with Malbec leading

the way. Their basic level red wines

spend four months in oak before bot-

tling. They are mellow in style with

smooth texture and straight forward

varietal scents and flavors. Their best

white wine is their Torrontes which

is drier than most. The Reserve level

reds are from their best vineyard sites

and spend 8 months in barrel. Pricesrange from $9.99 to $12.99 and they

represent exceptional value.

I chose a Port House established

in 1638 as this reports final Reliable

Producer; Kopke Porto. Kopke

makes a range of very fine Ports in

every Port style. Their basic Tawny,

Ruby and Dry White Ports are far

above average. Their mid-range

Reserve Tawny and Ruby over de-

liver for their prices. Their 10, 20, 30

and 40 Year Old Tawnies are spe-

cial.

Kopke is the best producers of

Single Year Tawny Ports called Col-

heitas. These wines stay in barrel

and are bottled upon ordering with

years available going back to the 40s.

Kopkes Vintage Ports are small in

production and get rave reviews.

Kopke Ports start at around $20.00

retail for full bottles and there are

half bottles available of most items.

Sturbridge-based Importer and Distrib-

utor Peter Sagansky runs Charles River

Wine Company. His wines are featured atThe Winebuyers Outlet and at finer stores

and restaurants throughout MA.

If you think about it, the last

conservative presidential candidatewas George McGovern. Yeah, he

was the darling of the left, but his

Come home America slogan was

a true conservative maxim. Under

a conservative foreign policy the

only reason to go to war is for de-

fense of hearth and home.

Foreign policy seems to be on a

bizarre autopilot. We want to see

an entity destroyed that executes

Americans who voluntarily involve

themselves in dangerous places. Of

course, after more than a decade of

useless endeavors, we dont want to

commit troops.

There is little reflection in Amer-

ican public life on that idea. No one

is asking the question, why are we

there and what would be the resultif we brought all the troops and

planes and ships home?

Howie and Ann are not getting

it. The attitude of if only the GOP

were running State is not sane. Thesole cavil most of the Elephant

Party leadership has with Obama is

that he is not doing more, and

faster.

Now to really balance it out, we

on Long hill have to go after the

American left wing as well. Other

than Glenn Greenwald and Amy

Goodman and a few others, they

seem to forget how horrible things

were under Bush now that their

man is in the Oval Office.

The contortions to excuse cur-

rent policy are exquisite. Still,

please have some decency and take

off those peace sign earrings and

scrape the Coexist bumper sticker

off the Prius.
