Guarino The 20 th Quadrennial World Cup tournament is over for Italy after just three matches. Coupled with the South African failure of four years ago, Italy has now gone two straight tournaments without advancing from the group stage, matching their 1962 and 1966 counterparts for futility. After defeating England in their opening match, Italy subsequently lost their next two matches, versus Costa Rica, and Uruguay without scoring a goal. The Costa Rica match is one that the Azzurri should have won, easily. Falling behind just before the intermission of a first half that Italy was push- ing for the opening goal, but failed to generate a solid chance. The underrated Costa Ricans, led by a ster- ling defense and who ulti- mately finished atop the Group D standings, domi- nated the second half, tak- ing the match 1-0. All was not lost after this embarrassment however as Italy needed only a draw to advance to the knockout rounds based on a better goal differential compared to that of Uruguay. However what we watched versus Uruguay was a con- servative team that seemed to be playing for a draw rather than a win. This game plan nearly worked. How- ever, tied in the 81 st minute, Diego Godin headed past the diving grasp of Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon. “The technical set-up didn’t work, and I take all respon- sibility for that.” stated Coach Cesare Prandelli. Prandelli went all in with striker Mario Balotelli, who aside from a goal in the opener was a major disappointment. The second half versus Uruguay was filled with controversy. The first was a questionable red card to Claudio Marchisio who was guilty of a reckless chal- lenge to midfielder Egidio Arevalo, but a straight red card was not merited.

Lucius Annaeus Senecawas more commonly calledSeneca The Philosopher. Hewas born in Spain about3 B.C., brought to Rome at anearly age, and educated bysome of the most eminentphilosophers of the time. Hisenthusiastic acceptance oftheir teachings and life-style caused him to emulatetheir way of life. He alsobecame a brilliant lawyer.The Emperor Caligula soonbecame jealous, and a severecritic of Seneca, and conse-quently marked him for de-struction. Seneca was sub-sequently spared because ofill health, and also becauseof rumors that he would soondie a natural death. Senecasurprisingly rose to greatprominence under the suc-ceeding Emperor Claudius,but he also made enemiesof some powerful officials.After being accused of inti-macies with a relative of theformer Emperor Tiberius,Seneca was banished toCorsica for about eightyears. Through the interven-tion of Agrippina (wife ofClaudius) he was returnedto Rome to tutor her sonNero.

Nero became emperorafter the death of Claudius,and it is reported that dur-ing his early years, the onlydecent part of his reign wasbrought about as a result ofSeneca’s guidance. Thisperiod was known as the“gold quinquennlum” (goldenfive years). It soon becameevident that Nero could notbe controlled. He turnedagainst Seneca, and in timecaused him to commitsuicide.

We are told that Senecawas one of the most brilliantfigures of his time, and equalto the greatest intellectualsof the Silver Age.

His prose works werenumerous and important.These included manyspeeches which were writ-ten for Nero, several trea-tises, a biography of hisfather, a panegyric (praise)of the famous Messalina,and a number of books ofletters.

The greatness of Senecaprobably stems from hisnarratives on morality. Manyof his letters were writtenas sermons, while othersattacked the vices of thattime. He was one of the fore-most Stoic philosophers ofRome. Much of his literarywork greatly influencedItalian and French classi-cal drama during theRenaissance period of manycountries.

Among all the “LittleItalies” in America, the Post-Gazette, was the only news-paper chosen to representthe Italian-American exper-ience. It was on displayamong newspapers servingscores of immigrant andminority communities —Chinese, German, Japa-nese, Spanish, and other lan-guages — too many to count.

“The plan from the begin-ning was to publish in En-glish,” explained Pam, whenasked why the Italian-lan-guage Gazetta early ontransitioned into the En-glish-language Gazette.Pam’s grandfather saw hisrole as publisher as encour-aging and assisting the newarrivals from Italy in better-ing themselves, and thatmeant learning the languageof America — English. Andbetter themselves they did!Most of the Italians whocame to America in the1890s through 1920s, arrivedwith little money, limitedjob prospects due to lackof English-language skills,and facing prejudice andmistreatment.

Early efforts, such as thoseof the Gazetta/Gazette,helped Italians in Americabetter themselves and paidtremendous dividends. Bythe middle of the 20th centurythe second generation waseducated and ready to taketheir places in commerce,the professions, and politics.Today, with ever increasingappreciation of the varietiesof Italian cuisine, fashion,art, music, and literature,and the Italian love of fam-ily, it seems everyone wantsto be Italian. Post-Gazette col-umnist David Trumbull(English-Scots-German) whoconsiders himself “Italian bymarriage” said of the exhibit,“It was fascinating to see,through their newspapers,how the experiences of im-migrant and minority groupsin American were so similar,but also unique.”

Italians were quick to learnEnglish. Spanish-speakingAmericans — often living inparts of North America thathad spoken Spanish fortwo centuries before theEnglish-speaking UnitedStates acquired, throughwar or purchase, those ter-ritories — felt less a needto switch to English. Formost of our history — until1917 when the U.S. entered

World War I — German-lan-guage papers served a com-munity big enough to swayelections, which is why suchoffice-seekers as BenjaminFranklin and Abraham Lin-coln owned German-lan-guage papers. It was the Ger-man press in America thatfirst asserted the rights of thepress now enshrined in ourFirst Amendment. So impor-tant are newspapers inAmerican life that duringWorld War II, Japanese-Americans relocated todetention camps publishedcamp newspapers and con-tinued to fight for pressfreedom.

Farewell to Malls

THOUGHTS by DANAbout This & That

with Daniel A. DiCenso

The death of the mall mayindeed be upon us and myfeelings are mixed. Malls area casualty of online shoppingand their demise is onemore nail in the coffin ofinterpersonal shopping. Hey,I can’t cast the first stone. Imake frequent use of Ama-zon and Ebay under the jus-tification that they are reallythe only place (especiallyfollowing the disappearanceof mom & pop shops) to findout-of-print books, first edi-tions, and other rarities.But, I will say this, when Ican buy something at abrick-and-mortar store, I do.And I don’t mind payingmore. It’s important to me tokeep businesses going andworkers employed.

The best thing malls donow is provide suburbaniteswith the option of getting outof the house and away froma glaring computer screen todo their shopping. The mil-lions invested in beautifyingmalls in the ’90s (a trendkick-started by the openingof the Mall of America in1992) is paying off now asmalls have become lushhang-out spots even if shop-ping is a secondary inten-tion. Once inside the build-ing, it was hard for walkersnot to stroll into a store anddrop a few dollars.

I came of age duringthe transformation of mallsinto lux mega complexes. Iwitnessed the South ShorePlaza in Braintree, the mallwe most visited, changefrom a one-level buildingwith ’70s style dark floortiling into a two-level shop-ping palace with a shinysun-roof and bright terrazzoflooring. I also remember thegrand opening of the NatickMall and how awestruck Iwas at its size.

There is, then, a certainsomberness in watchingthese once glamorous giantsfall. The evidence is every-

where. The Galleria Mall inTaunton, for instance, isin a dire state, kept on life-support by Sears and JCPenny. Watertown’s ArsenalMall is a lifeless cave of aplace, the once thrivingAssembly Square Mall couldonly be revitalized as thealfresco Assembly Row, theMeadow Glen in Medford ishanging on but barely, mak-ing Saugus’s Square OneMall the only mall in the areato more or less hold on to itsdignity.

But, let’s not forget thatmalls themselves left manycasualties in their emer-gence. Among them are thespecialty stores, mom & popshops, diners and soda foun-tains in stores, and, collec-tively, the downtown areas.It’s no secret that mallswere created in large part asa replacement to suchplaces. With the suburbansprawl of the Boomer years,the growing number of sub-urbanites needed one bigmecca for all their shoppingneeds. Small individualstores of the sort they leftbehind in the city no longerworked when they werespread so far apart. Now thatcars were a necessary com-ponent to shopping, custom-ers needed a single destina-tion for their needs. And so,the concept of the mall wasborn. A single building thatcould accommodate all con-sumer needs and wants and,eventually, even took overthe role served by restau-rants, attaching food courtsand upscale eateries withinits walls.

But the great migration tothe suburbs of the post-waryears that gave birth to themall also became its sourceof life. In short, malls needthe suburbs to survive be-cause the suburbs create aneed for malls. It’s no coin-cidence that the local mallsthat are doing best are

located some distance fromthe city, like the SouthShore Plaza, the Natick Mall,the Burlington Mall, theSalem Mall, and the Pheas-ant Lane Mall in Nashua.

It’s a dependency, however,that could not be satisfiedforever. As the expense ofliving in the suburbs is be-coming increasingly hard tojustify, especially for thecommuting working class, anew great migration is hap-pening and inversing thefirst one. It’s a subtle changeat first glance and will takesome time to notice, butAmericans are moving backinto the cities in larger num-bers than they had in thelast thirty years. They’removing back to the narrowstreets and high-risesamong which there is littleroom for giant malls. And so,as people leave the suburbsthey abandon the malls.

But not all is sad, and cer-tainly not unprecedented.Trends and fads are cycli-cal, after all, and the mall’sdemise means the renais-sance of the downtown, thespecialty shop, and the fam-ily business. Just look at theway development shot for-ward in the declining Down-town Boston in the last twoyears. Hotels, curio stores,and restaurants are comingback to the area. But thereal revelation is the kindof development going on inthe old Filene’s Buildingand Lovejoy Wharf, wherewhat can be called the nextgeneration of shopping mallis making its way. Taking apage from the Natick Mall,these buildings will now offera way to satisfy a variety ofneeds, not just consumerist.There will be space for retail,offices, and residential.Such is the way of progress.Though cyclical in nature,the ever changing needs ofman leave plenty of room forreinvention.

Lucy Filippini was born onJanuary 16, 1672 in Corneto,Tuscany, Italy. Her parentspassed away when she was justa child causing Lucy to live withher aristocratic aunt and unclewho encouraged her religiousaspirations by entrusting hereducation to the Benedictinenuns at Santa Lucia. Lucy cameto admire the lives of the Nunsand showed in her speech andunderstanding a wisdom far beyond heryears, her words of compassion and lovewere an inspiration to her companions anda prelude to her future mission.

When Cardinal Mark Anthony Barbarigomade his first pastoral visit to Corneto, hemade a deep impression on Lucy and shefollowed him to Montefiascone. Entrustingherself to the Cardinal’s guidance, he hadenvisioned her as a key factor to bring abouta rebirth of Christian living. He had alreadybegun by establishing a seminary whereyoung priests might study and train for theministry.

Cardinal Barbarigo planned to establishschools particularly for the children ofthe poor that would develop Christian

conscience and encourage thepractice of virtue in the home.Together with Blessed RoseVenerini, Lucy co-founded thePious Matrons, a group dedi-cated to the education of girls.The success of her schools —fifty-two in total — caught theattention of Pope Clement XI,who in 1707 called her towork in Rome to start schools,which he placed under his

special protection.To complement the work of the schools,

Lucy and her teachers conducted classesand conferences for women, who werestrengthened in their faith as they took partin prayer, meditation, and good works. Herfocus for the social apostolate was to encour-age her teachers to minister to the needsof the poor; it was an extension of the class-room. Her method of teaching attracted wide-spread attention.

Lucy died at sixty years of age, March 25,1732, on the Feast of the Annunciation. Lucywas canonized on June 22, 1930 by Pope PiusXI and given the last available niche inSaint Peter’s Basilica. Saint Lucy Filippini’sFeast day is celebrated on March 25th.

I totally disagree with aBoston Globe’s recent edito-rial, “Not honoring ‘Brown’ de-cision? Councilors should beashamed.” The Boston Globewas off-bounds criticizingCity Councilors BillLinehan, Steve Murphy andSal LaMattina for voting“present” on a resolution putforth by City CouncilorCharles Yancey.

While I have always sup-ported Brown versus Board ofEducation which declaredthat separate but equal pub-lic schools violated the 14th

Amendment’s equal protec-tion clause, this supportnever stopped me from beingan outspoken opponent ofJudge W. Arthur Garrity’sdesegregation court orderthat was issued in June1974.

When those yellow schoolbuses started rolling acrossthe City of Boston at the startof that school year in Sep-tember 1974, the city wasripped apart. Across the na-tion, the liberal press turnedoutraged parents into racistsfor wanting their childrennot used as pawns in somesocial engineering scheme.Boston Public Schools hadover 90,000 students in theearly 1970s but in quicktime, the student populationnearly fell in half. At firstall we saw were little whitekids from South Bostonbeing bused to schools inRoxbury and kids fromRoxbury bused to South Bos-ton. It all seemed like beancounting with education, nota very high priority by thoseusing buses instead of mak-ing all the city’s publicschools better.

L’Anno Bello: A Year in Italian Folkloreby Ally Di Censo Symynkywicz

Dear L’Anno Bello Readers,I am working on a special Fourth of July version of the column for next week’s issue, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, enjoy these beautiful summer days!

Love,Ally Di Censo Symynkywicz

Does he really believe theguy we just captured for theBenghazi attack was justfound in the nick of time forObama politically? Especiallyafter CNN and the NY Timesfound him in plain sight overa year ago.

If we cannot believeour President’s words, hisactions become so frustrat-ing to see. His numbers willkeep falling and slowly themedia will wake up.

The other day on NBC’sToday Show, co-host ChuckTodd seemed to be upchuck-ing over the President’s pop-ularity nosedive. Why is heshocked? Look around atwhat he has been doing andsee the consequences of hisactions on America. Themedia still doesn’t want toget it because the mediadoesn’t like what is happen-ing to their president.

Why are There StillBirthers Out There?

Someone asked me this

question the other day and Ican only respond by sayingthe president’s own narcis-sistic behavior feeds birthers’suspicions. He made such abig deal over his right not toshow his birth certificateand when he finally did, itstill didn’t completely endthe controversy.

Personally, the whole thingerupted because like noother American president,we have one that spentmany years growing up inother countries. He alsocomes across like a worldcitizen rather than Ameri-can. He doesn’t comprehendor think American. I believehe is a U.S. citizen but thatalone doesn’t make youunderstand what the deepmeaning of an American is.

If he did, we wouldn’t behaving this rising tide ofdistrust, the corrosive spreadof cynicism and viewingthe fragmenting of our socialfabric.

• News Briefs (Continued from Page 1)Recently, I started laugh-

ing aloud at my radio whileJeff Kuhner was on. I startedhearing caller after callertalking about Obama’splanned upcoming coupwhere he would refuse toleave office in 2016. The factanyone is saying this is justcrazy but it shows how farremoved our president hasbecome from the consent ofthe governed.

He doesn’t help himselfmuch when he arrives inHonolulu and says he is gladto be back in Asia.

Is Her Name Maddowor Madcow?

For fun sometimes, I watchMSNBC to see how delu-sional that network gets. Icaught the Rachel MaddowShow the night the newsabout the capture of thatalleged mastermind behindBenghazi was all over theplace. Maddow didn’t under-stand why Fox News wascritical of the timing of thearrest. Just as she wasn’twhen we traded with theTaliban for an allegeddeserter by setting free fivetop Taliban leaders.

Maddow scoffed at conser-vatives who didn’t appre-ciate how great Obamawas. She made fun of U.S.Senator John McCain anddumped on the Fox NewsNetwork.

I wonder how Maddowreally felt about their heroHillary Clinton going on FoxNews rather than MSNBC.It was such a no brainer forHillary. Show courage bygoing on the number onecable station in America orgo on MSNBC where fewwatch Maddow or any of itsother hosts.

For the past month, FrankSpolsino has spent his lunchhour volunteering for EastBoston Main Streets, sweep-ing the sidewalks aroundMaver ick Square. Whenasked about his motivation,Frank observes, “I live here,and it’s nicer when it’sclean!”

Litter in East Boston’sbusiness district has beenan issue for many years and,over the years, numerousprograms and initiativeshave tried to address thechallenges of keeping ourstreets and sidewalks clean,with mixed results. BostonShines, an annual commu-nity clean-up event coordi-nated by EBMS and the Cityof Boston attracts over 100volunteers, and other, com-munity based clean-ups arealso regularly attended byresidents of East Boston.

“I do not believe that thereis a silver bullet to addressthe litter issue in EastBoston,” says Max Gruner,

executive Director of EBMS,“our streets and sidewalkswill be clean once a criticalmass of residents and busi-ness owners take direct andconsistent ownership of theirspace and show the indepen-dent initiative to clean up,every day, clean up.”

Frank Spolsino embodiesthis community spirit. A life-long resident of East Boston,Frank is a regular volunteerat community events andclean-ups. Realizing thatmore is needed to be done,Frank takes it upon himself,

every week, to do his part tohelp East Boston shine.

Janet Knott, Chief of Stafffor Councilor Sal LaMattinahas known Frank for a longtime, “Frank Spolsino is adedicated community volun-teer and kind neighbor. Hecan often be found cleaninglitter from the street orworking along the Green-way, always with a smile onhis face.”

For more details or ques-tions about how to join Frankor how to create your owncommunity volunteer group,contact Max Gruner [email protected] at 617-561-1044.

EBMS is a non-profit cor-poration. Its mission is to cre-ate a more vibrant businessdistrict by initiating privateand public improvements, pro-moting commerce, and sup-porting efforts to improve thequality of life for all who live,work, and do business in EastBoston.

Today, the Boston PublicSchools’ demographicsshows that our publicschools are today more seg-regated than ever beforewith over 83 percent of itsstudents Latino, Asian andAfrican-American. Middleclass families of all racesand ethnic backgroundshave for the most part fledthe city’s public schools insearch of the best schoolspossible for their kids. Thosethat can’t afford to leave,send their kids to private orparochial schools. Add to thatthe many African Americanparents who avail them-selves of the Metro programand one can see that the1974 court order from JudgeW.

As usual my human companion is alwaysreading anything that has to do with dogsso I am hoping my article will be helpful tomy pooch friends and their human compan-ions. Your dog will look to you to providehim or her with effective leadership. Beinga good leader means providing your dogwith structure and guidance. You maythink that routine is boring, but it helpsyour dog understand his or her world, becalm and stay out of trouble. Here are a fewsuggestions.

1. When interacting with your dog bekind and consistent.

2. Teach your dog to control his orher mouth. If he or she mouths or nipsyou, react with a stern “no biting!” Thiswill teach him or her that you are notanother dog and he or she needs to treatyou differently.

3. Have him or her “sit” or “down” beforeyou give him or her anything he or shewants, from petting to tossing a toy. Whenhe or she responds to you before you respondhe or she will start to look to you to set therules, while at the same time getting indaily training practice.

4. Gently handle your dog’s ears, mouthand paws so he or she learns to accept this.Start when he or she is very young and forbrief periods of time. Remain playful duringthese exercises, make a game out of them.Praise him or her and reward him or herwith treats. The exercises are easy withmost dogs but if your dog really struggles orgets upset, consult your veterinarian orseek assistance from a qualified dog traineras soon as possible.

5. Use different tones of voice to commu-nicate different messages. A higher thannormal pitch is exciting and playful and per-fect for praise. A normal tone-direct and con-fident is your command tone. A lowered voicecomes across as a warning because yourdog associates it with a growl. With practiceyour dog can learn to understand your moodthrough your tone of voice.

6. Remember that dogs learn throughpractice and repetition. Be patient!

7. If you do these things consistently,your dog will develop into a friendly, wellbalanced and well-mannered canine.

That’s all for now — REMEMBER PICKUP AFTER YOUR PET!

“Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.”— Mark Twain

ALL THAALL THAALL THAALL THAALL THAT ZAZZT ZAZZT ZAZZT ZAZZT ZAZZby Mary N. DiZazzo

Beware the Dermatologist!

Ciao Bella,Just around Christmas-

time a very good friend ofmine snapped a really flat-tering close-up photo of me.However, if I looked reallyclose at the photo I couldvaguely see the little whitemicro pimples I’ve had on myskin for a few years now. Itake very good care of myskin. So I thought. I haveanother skin condition thatbrings me to the derma-tologist a couple of times amonth. So I asked him whatthese tiny white puffs wereon my complexion. He calledthem “milia.” They may goaway on their own or I canuse my electric needle bypopping them and in a fewdays they will clear up. Ireally like my dermatologistand he is the best around.However, after nine pops Ilooked like I ate too manystrawberries or somethingallergic! So just a coupleof days or maybe a week andall will be fine. Not!

What have I done todeserve this fate of alwayshaving near perfect skin toadult acne! After severalweeks of changing my skin-care that I love — Kosmea —and when in South Africawent to the Kiel’s counterand purchased a clay cleanserand a cream to reduceirregular skin tone (had toget rid of redness left byneedle). Purchased all kindsof deep pore cleansers and acharcoal mask! Incorporat-ing Kosmea back into myregime surely helped thehealing. Dermatologist asked

me if I was obsessing aboutmy skin. Yes!

I read up on “milia.” Thesewhite, tiny pimples comefrom not enough deep cleans-ing and correct exfoliationlike a facial that would pre-vent clogging pores. Also onlyuse a non pore-clogging sunblock on your mug. I wasusing the tanning oil on mybody as well as on my com-plexion which clogged mypores causing “milia!”

After several months of athome skin treatments and,as Dr. J. quoted “tinctureof time,” my skin has allcleared up and is lookinggood considering the BIGbirthday around the corner!

Make this a lesson myfriends. When you do get afacial make it with a profes-sional that practices knowl-edge of deep pore cleansingand can treat milia, whichis quite common. The Der-matologist is obviously greatat taking care of your skinnot the math!

Buona giornata and Godbless the United States ofAmerica! Wishing all aHappy & Safe IndependenceDay

MASS EBT CARDHOLDERSSPENT $50 MILLION OUT OF STATE

Bay State EBT cardholders spent nearly$50 million in welfare cash out of state inplaces like the Virgin Islands and PuertoRico. Another sad statement of abuse inincome transfers. I thought EBT cards arefor needed food and expenses and not totravel on vacations? The abuse is madden-ing to most of the working crowd out therestruggling and seeing their tax dollarswasted like this.

BELLOTTI THE BEST A.G.The last good attorney general was Frank

Bellotti and like Tom Harshbarger andTom Reilly after him, getting to the CornerOffice isn’t an easy task for an A.G. In 1990,Bellotti tried and failed to John Silber in thestate primary. Harshbarger and Reilly metthe same losing fate in their attempts ofmoving up in office.

I met up with A.G. Martha Coakley at thestart of the Bunker Hill Day Parade inCharlestown. I must say whenever I meether one-on-one, she is very personable,quite likable. However, I have seen her onthe campaign trail implode with attorneygeneralitis. It is difficult for the common-wealth’s chief law enforcement person tobecome a likable poll on the stump. Peoplestill see them in their role as attorneygeneral. Same thing happens to districtattorneys who run for higher office.

I would confess that I am not a Coakleyfan, but if she would loosen up a bit on thecampain trail, she could be a strong primaryfoe of my choice Steve Grossman.

• Thinking Out Loud (Continued from Page 4)

intended consequences ofGarrity’s court order set thecity back, ruined the lives ofa whole generation of youngBostonians, split the city ra-cially and nearly destroyedthe entire Boston publicschool system.

Today, the Boston publicschool system is overwhelm-ingly non-white and anymiddle class presence islocated in few public schoolsin our city. If this waswhat Garrity had in mindin 1974, he got what hewished.

The City of Boston wouldhave progressed much bet-ter without Morgan versusHennigan 40 years ago.

It takes courage to stand

up for what you believe andto be ready for the name call-ing which surely follows.Linehan, LaMattina andMurphy were not “way out ofline” and nor should they beashamed.

These two court casesseparated by 20 years showedgovernment both at its bestand sadly at its worse.Yancey apparently doesn’tget why raw nerves arenever healed.

However, the liberal com-munity doesn’t want to seethe facts nor the result ofmaking parents feel impo-tent about the education oftheir children. For exampleone Cambridge liberal wrotea letter commending the

Boston Globe editorial byattacking the three citycouncilors who were atodds with Councilor CharlesYancey’s resolution andspeaking of the threecouncilor’s actions stated,“This is fundamentally in-sensitive and invites awhirlwind of negative pub-licity to a city that is not fullycleansed of its ‘busing crisis’image.”

I have a suspicion thatBoston parents 40 yearsago will never be “cleansed’enough for suburban liberalswho like messing aroundwith people because theyknow so much more thanthe folks who had to live withtheir ideology.

MORT SAHL LIVE: AN EVENINGWITH A COMEDY LEGEND — July19-20. Crowned as leading the newbreed of modern comedians by Timemagazine in 1960, Mort Sahl was thefirst entertainer ever to appear on itscover. Before comedy clubs existed,Sahl began performing at the hungryi music club in San Francisco inthe early 1950s. He differed fromother comedians, appearing in casualclothing rather than a suit, skewer-ing popular politicians such asEisenhower, Joe McCarthy and JFK.Sahl’s approach is energetic, tangen-tial, and deep and wide in both socialand political scopes, inspiring WoodyAllen, George Carlin and countlessother comedians. A 1955 performancewith Dave Brubeck was recorded andreleased (without Sahl’s permission),selling as Mort Sahl At Sunset, andrecently recognized by the Library ofCongress as the first stand-up com-edy record album. When Kennedy wasassassinated in 1963, Sahl regularlytargeted the government’s officialWarren Commission Report during hisroutines, resulting in the loss of muchof Hollywood’s support, while main-taining audience popularity withcollege tours and a best-selling book,Heartland. Sahl is the longest activeperforming American social satirist,spanning sixty years and elevenpresidents.

Wow! A Massachusetts woman gave birthto healthy twins — three weeks apart. LindaDaSilva’s first son was born prematurely, anddoctors stopped her contractions. Her secondtwin arrived this week. “I didn’t know thatwas possible,” DaSilva said.

Randy the guinea pig, escaped from hiscage at a British animal park and snuck intothe female enclosure where he impregnated100 females. “He has now rejoined his malefriends,” said the park’s manager. “Clearlyhe’s got a lot of bragging to do.”

Moron! The mayor of San Marino, Calif., wascaught on camera tossing a bag of dog poopon the walkway of a neighbor who hasopposed his policies. “I made a mistake,”admitted Mayor Dennis Kneler.

Unbelievable! A black man was wrongfullyaccused of being an illegal taxi driver afterhe was spotted dropping his light-skinned,biracial wife off at work. Car salesmanDan Keys, Jr. 66, says Taxi and LimousineCommission agents seized his car for eightdays, insisting that his “white female” pas-senger must have been a paying costumer.Keys is now suing.

“Hillary Clinton is running for President,”said Chris Cillizza in WashingtonPost.com. Ofthat there can no longer be any doubt, afterthe release of Hard Choices — ostensiblyClinton’s memoir of her years as secretaryof state, but very obviously a “campaign book”marking the unofficial start of her run.Clinton is still saying she won’t make an an-nouncement until 2015, but Hard Choiceleaves no doubt about her intentions, end-ing on the words “Time for another hardchoice will come soon enough.” Get it? Poli-tics is full of surprises, said Brad Bannon inUSNews.com, but there is simply no Demo-crat on the horizon who could raise enoughmoney or build a campaign organization tochallenge Clinton. And with polls showing herwith double-digit leads over every conceiv-able Republican challenger, the 2016 presi-dential campaign is “Hillary Clinton’s raceto lose.”

The astute Barbra D’Amico says, “A typi-cal politician is usually shortsighted andlong-winded.”

The brilliant Christina “Chris” Quinlansays, “We like to see politicians pray withuplifted hands. It keeps their hands wherewe can see them.”

Political conventions remind us that theWhite House is a little like heaven — noteverybody who talks about it is going there.

Sorry to hear about it. Melanie Griffith andAntonio Banderas are divorcing after 18years of marriage. The couple drifted apartyears ago, said the New York Post, but agreedto stay together both for the sake of their17-year-old daughter, Stella, and because ofBandera’s Catholic faith. The two actors saidin a statement that they had “thoughtfullyand consensually” agreed to split, and thatthe divorce would be carried out in “a lovingand friendly manner.”

Real dummy! A Florida man who wasallegedly posing as a police officer made themistake of pulling over a real cop. DetectiveJustin Anderson was on patrol in an un-marked car when a Ford driving behind himflashed its red and blue lights. He pulled over,and was shocked to see an unknown facebehind the wheel. “We are a rather large de-partment,” said Anderson, “but I still know amajority of our law-enforcement officers.” Hearrested the driver, Matthew McMahon, 20,on charges of impersonating a police officer.

Weirdo! An Indian man has been walkingbackwards in the hope that his bizarrebehavior will bring about world peace. ManiManithan started walking in reverse in 1989following an outbreak of ethnic violence inIndia. “To condemn such incidents I havebeen walking backwards for 25 years,” heexplained. Manithan says his unusualmethod of locomotion is now more natural tohim than walking normally. “My mind hasforgotten how to do it,” he said. “I have becomevery comfortable walking like this.”

Time for a coffee break. The Dutch are theworld’s biggest coffee drinkers, with eachperson knocking back an average of 2.414cups a day. Finland is second (1.848), Sweden

third (1.357),and Den-mark fourth(1.237). TheU.S. comesin 16th, witha per capita average of just under a cup aday (0.931).

According to Joe Albano of Revere, the onlybreak some people get these days is a coffeebreak.

The astute Paul Waters of Swampscottsays, “If coffee breaks get much longer,employees will be late for quitting time.”

In 2012, 16 percent of the parents whostayed home to care for kids were dads, upfrom just 10 percent in 1989. But more thanhalf of those stay-at-home dads say theymade that choice because of disability orinability to find a job.

Good move! 62 percent of Americans sup-port granting citizenship to illegal immi-grants if they meet certain requirements,while 17 percent would grant legal status,but not citizenship. 19 percent just want todeport them.

Read carefully! Cruise ships are notoriousincubators of norovirus, the highly conta-gious bug that causes vomiting and diarrhea.But new research from the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention concluded thatjust 1 percent of 20 million annual U.S casesoccur at sea. More commonly, people get sickfrom food that’s been contaminated by han-dlers. In fact, about 70 percent of outbreaksoccur when waiters or cooks touch “ready toeat” foods, like sandwiches or fruit, with barehands. The virus is hearty: It stays oncountertops, utensils, and other kitchensurfaces for up to two weeks.

What’s in a name? When it comes to hurri-canes, quite a lot. New research reported byThe Washington Post shows that Americansare less frightened of storms bearing femalenames, leading to less preparedness andsubsequently more fatalities. The first partof the study looked at the number of deathscaused by hurricanes between 1950 and2012, revealing that storms with femalenames caused an average of 45 deaths, com-pared with 23 deaths from male-namedstorms.

No wonder we’re fat! During your lifetime,you will eat sixty thousand pounds of food —the weight of six elephants.

Some Hollywood stuff by the stately musi-cologist Albert Natale. Fred McMurray said,“These fellows like Kirk Douglas and ChuckHeston who’ve played so many historicalheroes, they can get pretty high and mighty.If you don’t treat them like royalty, they gethurt or angry. They’re happiest when youtreat them like a king and act like a humbleserf.” And Humphrey Bogart said, “I don’t likethe Hollywood definition of an actor. I likepeople who can act. The so-called RockHudsons and Tab Hunters are a dull bunchof cruds … Too many actors in Hollywood onlythink about their next part and about whatLouella Parsons will say about them.” AndVeronica Lake went public stating: “If I hadstayed in Hollywood, I would have ended uplike Alan Ladd (a suicide) and Gail Russell(who died from alcoholism), dead and buried.That rat race killed them, and I knew it even-tually would kill me … I left to save my life.”For the record, Veronica Lake passed awayin 1973 at the age of 51, from acute hepati-tis in Burlington, Vermont. Veronica wascremated and her ashes scattered at sea inthe Virgin Islands.

Few people are aware that more than halfa million Italians living in the United Statesduring World War II suffered serious viola-tions of their civil rights. During WorldWar II, an estimated 1.5 million Americansof Italian descent served in the U.S military,constituting one of the largest segments ofthe U.S. combat forces of about 12 million.However, elderly Italian mothers and fatherswere not allowed to visit sons in the U.S.Armed Forces. The Immigration and Natu-ralization Service held nearly 3,300 Italiansin internment camps for varying lengths oftime during the war.AMERICA IS A BEAUTIFUL ITALIAN NAME

Let’s continue our journey through the Lazio region, in cen-tral Italy with a classic dish of the Roman cuisine: “Saltimboccaalla Romana.” Roman cuisine uses very basic ingredients andwhat’s today considered a delicacy was once peasant’s food.Romans traditionally cook with fresh herbs: it’s customary tobe provided with a bunch of fresh herbs free of charge whileshopping at the many outdoor farmer’s markets. Romans lovetheir “salvia” (sage), “menta” (mint), “rosmarino” (rosemary),“basilico” (basil), timo (thyme). “Trastevere” (beyond the Tiber),a Roman neighborhood along the west bank of “Fiume Tevere”(Tiber river) is the heart of roman cuisine, language and tradi-tions and a destination place for many Romans that, after theirafternoon “Passeggiata in centro” (downtown stroll), enjoy eat-ing at the local “Osteria” or “Trattoria” where traditional dishesare proudly served along with a glass of “Vino della casa”(house wine). “Saltimbocca alla Romana” is among the Eter-nal City’s most beloved dishes: traditionally prepared with veal,prosciutto and fresh sage, “saltimbocca” means “jump in themouth,” a very tasty culinary experience, very easy to prepare.Chicken is a popular alternative to veal.

Alessandra Sambiase is an elementary and middle schoolItalian language teacher in the Catholic school system and inthe North End. She is also a cooking instructor and founder of“Parla come mangi!” (speak as you eat!) cooking classes, wherethe passion for the Italian language meets the love for the Italianfood.

• Socially Scene (Continued from Page 6)

My father was a pioneer inthe Department of Audio andVisual Education, created bythe Boston Public Schoolsjust after WWII. During the’30s, he had been on theroad with the big bands, mostof whom traveled the coun-try playing swing music forthe bobbie soxers. When thewar started, the bands beganbreaking up as many musi-cians traded their instru-ments for rifles, machineguns and other weapons ofwar. Dad came home andregistered for the draft.While waiting to be called,he accepted a job teachingmachine shop at his oldalma mater, East BostonHigh School. He didn’t havea college degree at thatpoint, but if a tradesmanwanted to teach his or hertrade, all they needed was toprove they had spent sevenyears in that trade. As a kid,Dad had been employed byan iron works and he washired.

Once the war was over,Dad was approached by amutual friend who was inadministration at the schoolcommittee headquarters. Itseems that a neighbor fromJamaica Plain was runningfor a seat on the BostonSchool Committee and hadno contacts in East Boston.Dad was asked to help out.Dad met the prospective can-didate and the two men hitit off. As a result, Dad agreedto help out.

It was a bit difficult for Dadas he was playing with aband six nights a week andteaching five days a week,but he succeeded in obtain-ing enough votes for thecandidate, Dan McDevett,to capture East Boston. Oncein, Dan told my father abouta new department beingconsidered in the BPS. Itseems that the administra-tion wanted every schoolto have a projector to showfilms and a repository thatlent the films to the schools,hence the new Depart-ment of Audio and VisualEducation.

Dad headed to Boston StateCollege and took the neces-sary courses to preparehimself to become one of thefour pioneers in this newdepartment. The man whoinitially asked Dad to helpDan McDevitt out was tobecome the director of thenew agency, Joe Hennessey.The other two men wereLester Morris and MikeBarca. (Mike and Dad wouldbecome the best of friends,and we would buy a cottage

in Maine a few years laterto be near Mike and hisfamily who vacationed thereeach summer.)

As the department grew,they were given tons ofwar surplus equipment bythe federal government. JoeHennessey would determineif what they were sent couldbe used at the local schools,and if something couldn’t beused, the men of the depart-ment could take the equip-ment home. As a result, ourcellar looked like a warsurplus store. The only thingI still have is a pair of fieldbinoculars.

Dad brought home a tankradio that wound up in Babbo-nonno’s room. My grand-father was becoming pro-gressively deaf and wouldn’tadmit it. As a result, on Sat-urdays, when the Metropoli-tan Opera House in NewYork would air their weeklyshow, Babbononno wouldswitch on his tank radio andyou could hear Italian grandopera all over the neighbor-hood. It was loud.

Working in the audiovisual department had itsperks. The school commit-tee, city council and themayor’s office would haveDad or one of the otherdepartment members filmevents that they partici-pated in. This, of course, wasback in the day before videotape was invented. BecauseDad became so involvedin the filming needed byBoston officials, he was oftengiven perks that were usu-ally reserved for politiciansand the people they wantedto impress.

From the point in timewhen I was just out ofdiapers, I was a Red Sox fan.One of the perks Dadreceived was a pass to sitwith the city hall politiciansat Fenway. Back when I wasa kid, the first or second rowof seats just to the left ofthe Red Sox dugout werereserved for Boston officials.Dad couldn’t use the seat hewas assigned to at night ashe was usually playing withhis or some other band. Heoften looked for someone inthe neighborhood who mightbe going to Fenway Park ona particular night and havethem take me along anddeposit me at the seat loca-tion I mentioned, and thenpick me up for the returntrip home.

Being a sweet young kid, Ididn’t know who most of thepeople were that surroundedme. All of them referred tome as “Little John,” or “John

C’s” son. On any given night,especially if the Yankeeswere in town, I would besitting with the mayor, thepolice commissioner, thefire chief and members ofthe city council and schoolcommittee. As a result, theybought me hot dogs, soda, icecream and peanuts. I wastreated like a little king … Ididn’t object.

During those early years,Dad traveled to many of theschools showing films thatthey had requested. Most ofthem were industrial or edu-cational films, not Holly-wood productions. Onceeach school had an AV per-son who could handle theprojectors, Dad could back offand just work out of thedepartment’s main office.

Later, after a few morecourses had been taken, Dadbecame the person whodesigned the science experi-ments used at the juniorhigh schools around the city.They fell under the jurisdic-tion of the Audio VisualDepartment. Dad would packthe necessary equipment fora series of experiments inwooden boxes and have themdelivered to each junior highin the city. As the depart-ment grew, more peoplebecame involved and Daddidn’t have to leave the officeas much as he did in thosepioneering days. At one pointin time, he looked aroundand discovered that he wasthe last of the four men whostarted the new departmentright after WWII.

Unfortunately, when bus-sing started in Boston, thesuperintendent of schoolssent mid level administra-tors out to the schools thatwere in trouble due to racialtensions. Dad would oftencome home feeling like hehad been in combat. He wasoften nervous and irritable.He and Mom sat down oneday and discussed what wasgoing on and Mom asked,“Do you have enough timeto retire?” The answer wasyes. She then asked if theycould live on whatever hispension would be. Again, theanswer was yes. And so, Dadput in his papers and retired.He immediately becamemore involved with theBoston Musicians Union,something he had been partof for decades. He continuedin this direction until illhealth put an end to playingat night and heading to theunion hall during the day.His birthday would have beenthis month on the 9th. Hewould have been 104. He hada great life and always saidthe words I end my columnwith: GOD BLESS AMERICA

“Mr. Padre” Tony GwynnHall of Famer

Slides into Heaven

Tony Gwynn was a topnotch Hall of Famer with agreat left-handed swing whospent his entire 20 yearcareer as a member of theSan Diego Padres. Gwynnone of the greatest hitters inbaseball history passed awayon June 16th at the age of54. He suffered from oralcancer and his death wasattributed to his many yearsof chewing tobacco.

His long-time agent stated,“He suffered a lot. He battled.That’s probably the best wayto describe his fight againstan illness he had and he wascourageous until the end.”

Baseball CommissionerBud Selig added, “For more

than 30 years Tony Gwynnwas a source of universalgoodwill in the national past-time and he will be deeplymissed.”

Gwynn’s stats speak forthemselves. He had 3,141career hits, batted .338 life-time and won 8 battingtitles. He was famous formastering both the art andscience of hitting and hewas one of the best oppositefield hitters. There wasnever a so-called “GwynnShift” because he owned thewhole outfield area. In anera of tainted records, he wasalways clean no hint of ste-roids. He had a work ethicsecond to none and he playedbaseball as the love of his lifeon the field and at bat.

Gwynn played in bothPadres World Series appear-ances and was a 15 time All-Star and retired after the2001 season.

He entered Cooperstown inthe Class of 2007 along withBaltimore’s Cal Ripken, Jr.who spent his entire careerwith the Orioles. Also,the same year, the Padresunveiled a bronze statue of

Gwynn on a grassy knoll justbeyond the outfield at PetcoPark.

It all started for Tonywith his debut on July 19,1982 when he whacked thefirst two hits of his longcareer against the Philadel-phia Phillies. His son, TonyGwynn, Jr. now plays for thePhillies.

Too Bad Lackey Didn’tFinish That Game

Recently, Red Sox pitcherJohn Lackey pitched one ofthe best games of his career.He pitched nine innings ofshutout ball giving up butthree hits. He was removedfrom the game after theninth with the score zero tozero. Our closer guy came inthe top of the tenth and gaveup a home run. In the bot-tom of the tenth, we scoredtwo runs. We win but Lackeygets nothing for it as thecloser picks up the win.He only threw 105 pitchesbut nowadays starters don’tfinish games anymore evenif the pitches numbered only105. I liked the game backin the day when starters gotmore respect.

that character on Mexicantelevision, refused to takeaction. He will now foreverbe linked with Byron Moreno,whose questionable calls atthe 2002 Cup contributed toItaly’s departure from thattournament.

Make no mistake, Italy didnot play well enough to winand did not deserve to ad-vance, however the red cardto Marchisio and the non-call on Suarez affected thefinal outcome of the game.

This is not Suarez’s firstbiting incident, having beensuspended twice already forbiting opponents. His pastalso includes racial remarkstargeted at Patrice Evra, bornin Senegal but who plays forthe French National teamand for batting a ball out ofthe net with his hands ver-sus Ghana in the last WorldCup tournament. The playeliminated a potential game-winner for Ghana. Whenasked about Tuesdays’ inci-

dent versus Italy, Suarezsaid, “There are situationsthat happen on the pitch. Weran into each other.” Thecameras show the playunfolding differently.

FIFA needs to suspendSuarez at least for the rest ofthe tournament and needs toget the talented, yet derangedstriker the help he desper-ately needs in overcoming his

obvious mental issues.The bizarre day continued

for the Italians, as Prandelliannounced his resignationat the post-game press con-ference and was followed byGiancarlo Abete’s resigna-tion as Italian FederationPresident. The team, inneed of a complete on-fieldoverhaul, now has no one tooversee this endeavor.

In the most watched soc-cer game in United Statestelevision history, the teamwas 30 seconds away fromadvancing to the secondround in last Sundays matchversus Portugal. Up 2-1, theunbelievable result was be-coming a reality at ArenaAmazônia in Manaus. Sud-denly, a midfield error byMichael Bradley gave theball back to Portugal forone last attack. A perfectlyplaced cross by CristianoRonaldo found SilvestreVarela who headed past ashocked Tim Howard. It wasthe “anti-Brooks” (JohnBrooks headed in the gamewinning goal versus Ghana),a piercing play that leftU.S.A. fans feeling as thoughthe team had lost the game.So close to advancing, thered, white and blue will now

need a win or a draw versusgroup leading Germany thisThurs-day but would still ad-vance with a Ghana-Portu-gal draw. “The United Statesis known to give everythingthey have in every singlegame. We have that fight-ing spirit. We have thatenergy and that determina-tion to do well in everysingle game.” said CoachJurgen Klinsmann.

Aside from the tragic end-ing, USA has produced posi-tive results in their first twomatches, something thatseemed highly unachievablebefore the tournament. Theteam has demonstrated anexciting style of soccer and

a ton of heart. They will haveto once again play withoutthe injured Jozy Altidore,who remains an optionshould the team advance tothe knockout round. Altidorewas injured versus Ghana inthe opener, appearing to suf-fer a pulled hamstring. “Jozyis recovering really well,”said Klinsmann. “But thisgame comes still too early forhim. Once this game is donesuccessfully, we’ll have agood chance to have himback on team.”

With or without Altidore,the US has met the chal-lenge from two seeminglysuperior opponents, comingaway with four points. Thegroup’s best awaits themThursday, and the U.S. willbe up to the challenge onceagain. Do you really expectanything less?

Holman Williams and Marcel Cerdan, the Boston Strong Boy,and Boxing at Boston City Hall Plaza

Boxing RingsideWITH BOBBY FRANKLIN

The photo of Holman Williams and MarcelCerdan which accompanies this article,having a conversation on a Paris rooftop, hasalways fascinated me. I first saw it in theInternational Boxing Research OrganizationJournal, and Dan Cuoco, the director of thatfine organization shared it with me. OnJuly 7, 1946 Williams and Cerdan foughteach other in Paris with Cerdan winninga decision over the American. HolmanWilliams was one of a group of boxers thatcame to be known as The Black Murderers’Row. Others in this elite crowd were:Charley Burley, Cocoa Kid, Eddie Booker,Bert Lytell, Loyd Marshall, Jack Chase, andAaron “Tiger” Wade. All were great fighterswho never got a shot at the title partlybecause of race, and partly because they

were just too good. Author Harry Otty haswritten a fine book chronicling the careersof these boxers who deserve to be recognizedby all boxing fans. His book, Charley Burleyand The Black Murderers’ Row, is a must readfor anyone interested in the history of thesport.

In this photo, we see Williams who is atthis point on the downside of his career,speaking with Cerdan who would two yearslater win the Middleweight Title from TonyZale. I don’t know if this was taken beforeor after the bout, but it is interesting to seehow intently they are listening and speak-ing to each other. This is not a photo of twowise mouth punks talking trash to eachother, but of two professionals, of two gentle-men spending some time together. Are theytalking about their fight? About boxing ingeneral and the techniques they use? Per-haps they are having a conversation aboutthe cultural scene in Paris. What I find strik-ing is how relaxed they are with each other.These are two great fighters who would, orhave already, put on a very tough fight; yetthey are completely at ease in each other’scompany. In this photo, both men conveyclass and dignity. The backdrop of Paris fur-ther enhances them. Both are impeccablydressed and could easily pass for a coupleof writers or actors. It is a snapshot of avery different and interesting time. Take amoment to study this picture and let yourmind wander to just what their conversa-tion was about that July afternoon on a roof-top in Paris.

Strong Boy, The Life and Times of John L. SullivanAmerica’s First Sports Hero

by Christopher Klein Published by Lyons Press

John L. Sullivan was Amer-ica’s first larger than life sportsstar, and author ChristopherKlein has written a fine ac-count of the Boston StrongBoy. Sullivan, the son of Irishimmigrants who had arrived inBoston during the great wave ofIrish migration in the midnineteenth century, was bornin Boston’s South End, notRoxbury as many have believed.He made a reputation forhimself at an early age withhis amazing strength, intimi-dating stare, and powerful right handpunch.

Klein’s book follows Sullivan’s life indetail and shows just how the Great John L.was the right man at the right time to winthe adoration of fans nationwide. His fistictalent along with his magnetic personalityand booming voice made him an instant ce-lebrity. But, he never would have attainedthe prominence he did had it not been forthe completion of the intercontinental rail-road system. This feat of technology, com-parable with the internet today, allowedSullivan to crisscross the country putting

on exhibitions and taking on allcomers in four round matches. Forthe first time, Americans wereable to see one of their heroes upclose, sometimes too close, be-cause Sullivan’s proclivity to drinkwould make him a very difficultcharacter to control.

I learned much about John L.from Klein’s book. Many things Ididn’t know, such as the fact thatafter Gentleman Jim Corbettdefeated Sullivan for the crown,the men would later engage in atleast two exhibition matches. That

Sullivan was a somewhat talented actor wholoved performing on the stage, and that hewas the first athlete to earn over a milliondollars, most of which went to living the highlife. The only fault I find in this book is thatoften times I found myself wanting moredetails about some of the events, such asthe time in Augusta Georgia where Sullivan,who had been drinking heavily, grew so ver-bally abusive that a train hand knocked himout. Surely, this was a big deal, and I wouldlove to have had more details about thatincident. I found this book a very interest-ing read and highly recommend it.

AN INTERESTING YEARFOR ND — It was a some-what novel experience forthe newest institutionalmember of Hockey East thispast year. We speak, ofcourse, of Notre Dame, aschool that is known tosports fans throughout Amer-ica, primarily due to the his-tory of its football team.

But there are other sportsat the university that callsSouth Bend, Indiana home,with one of them beingice hockey. And, overall,in the recent past, it hasbeen a successful program,although somewhat out ofsight and out of mind formany hockey aficionados inthis area.

That was because theFighting Irish had played inthe old Central CollegiateHockey Association (CCHA)from 1992 through the“spring of 2013. It was a con-ference made up of Midwest-ern schools. Thus, trips toNew England were few and farbetween. Combine that withthe fact that the ND men’sbasketball team appearedfrequently on national tele-vision and the view of NDhockey was in the rearviewmirror across our region.

That changed during the2013-2014 season as theIrish competed for the firsttime as a full conferencemember of Hockey East.They played local schoolsmore often, were seen in thearea more frequently andtheir program was followedmore intensely by fans.

Notre Dame joined HockeyEast as winners — capturingthe last CCHA champion-ship (2013) before thatleague melted into historywith schools going theirseparate ways into severalconferences.

Thus it was that ND hockeyfound a home in HockeyEast, a definite feather inthe cap for conference com-missioner Joe Bertagna.

And what was it like forND this past season? On thesurface, there seemed tobe a distinct challenge forthe Irish in Hockey East,who logged a 9-9-2 recordand a tie for seventh in theconference but improved to23-15-2 in overall play.

The Irish even made it tothe conference semifinals atthe Garden (before beingousted by UMass-Lowell) andsecured an NCAA berth, los-ing to St. Cloud State in theopening round of the WestRegional.

But again there was thatchallenge of regular seasonconference play.

“It was a strange season,”stated ND head coach JeffJackson as spring oncemore sprouted over the land.“There were a lot of differentfactors that came into play.Obviously moving into a newconference was a bit morechallenging, especially inHockey East with the depthof the Conference being sostrong.”

But it was more than that.It was the loss of familiarity— a comfort that came with

going to the same schoolsyear after year and knowingtheir programs thoroughly.

“No matter how much wetried to prepare for teams, asfar as watching video andthings like that, it seemedthat every time we played aHockey East opponent, wewere surprised by how theyplayed the game. When youplay in a conference for somany years and you’re ac-customed to going to FerrisState, Bowling Green andMichigan, you kind of knowwhat to expect — and not justfrom the venue and the en-vironment. You know what toexpect as far as how theteams play, how the coachescoach, even the line match-ups and things like that.

There’s a lot of little thingsyou have to become accus-tomed to and I think it wasa little different for us. It wasa little bit of a challenge toget accustomed to differentteams and styles of play andI think that threw us off alittle bit.”

Jackson, who just com-pleted his ninth season atND (after winning a pair ofnational championships atLake Superior State), saidthat injuries also took a toll.As a result the Irish “neverhad a lineup that was solidi-fied with line combinations,special team combinationsor defensive pairs — thingslike that. Everything waschanging on a constant ba-sis. So it was a little bit of adifferent and difficult seasonfor us — frustration wise —both from my perspectiveand I’m sure for our team’sperspective as well.”

One aspect that Jacksondiscounted as having aneffect was the impact of longdistance travel. Notre Dameis the outpost of the league,located about 90 miles eastof Chicago while all theother Hockey East schoolsare in New England.

“I don’t think it took a tollduring the season,” saidJackson, who took over thereins of the Irish in 2005 fol-lowing the resignation of NDcoach (and former Bruinsplayer) Dave Poulin. “We didhave some crazy weatherconditions that obviouslyimpacted our travel. You doworry a little bit about thetravel aspect of things, espe-cially with the academic loadthese kids have. But I worryabout the overall mentalfatigue more than thephysical fatigue.”

Whether next year willbe any easier for the Irishremains to be seen. Theteam roster featured 11seniors last season, mean-ing that there will be asignificant number of fresh-men donning those goldenhelmets come fall. If theycatch on fast enough, thenJackson’s team might bemaking a double appearancein the Garden — for theHockey East Tournament inMarch and the NCAA FrozenFour in April.

Whatever, don’t count JeffJackson’s team out — untilthe final bell.
