Newstalk for July 1

Wow Tim O'Malley just recently retired from the Lion's as King Lion, and now he's retired from his job at the Winter Hill Bank - Tim's a great guy and we think we will see a lot of him around the city still involved, best of luck! *************** Congratulations to Alex and Sarita Capobianco on their newest arrival last week - another boy - his name is Vince and that makes three boys now added to the Capobianco family. Our best to them! *************** Some of us went over to Cambridge last week to help celebrate Senator Anthony Galluccio's birthday - a large crowd of supporters turned out at the Charles River Boat Club - you can see why this guy is so popular not just in Cambridge and here in Somerville. We met and talked to some activists who kept asking when we are going to start a newspaper in Cambridge - that they are sorely disappointed like we are in what has happened to the Dole Family legacy who once owned the Journal & Chronicle. *************** Happy Birthday to our own Mayor Joe who celebrated his birthday last week. We wish him the best and many more; he's a great Mayor for us here in Somerville, guess that is why he has no one opposing him for re-election this year. So literally he's already re-elected for another term of office. *************** Well the Farm Team has a new boss over there on the 4th floor - another newbie on top of the 2 others already over there - we were thinking of sending them a GPS, but we're sure that the promoted Kat will tour what she knows. We just hope that duty isn't left to the picture freak Assistant Editor who loves to throw her weight around. Welcome to Somerville, we know you were in Natick - some of our network people over there gave us some info on your performance. *************** Birthday greetings to Ed Tauro of Pat's Auto Body! Ed's a good guy with a million dollar personality who always has a pleasant smile on his face when he greets you. *************** Looks like the Henry Family down at the Mount Vernon are once again expanding their famous restaurant. As of the first week in August, dining customers will have three great locations to choose from. There will be the one right down on lower Broadway, the one over at the Wharf in Revere and now on Route 1 in Saugus as the Mount Vernon at The Ship. Nice to see businesses expanding in this economy, obviously they are prospering, they are a long time old Somerville family and we wish them much success in all three locations. *************** Another celebrity sighting he in the Ville! The Somerville Hospital saw a visit from Actor Ben Affleck last week. Apparently he is looking for suitable filming locations here in the Ville. The Cambridge-born actor took pictures with a number of the staff there that day then toured the Ville with a friend! He even joked around and asked him if he had any more access to any "U2" tickets! *************** The Somerville Youth Hockey Association is looking for sponsors to help with the cost of running the program. Lots of dedicated parents and of course the kids who make up the various teams here in Somerville. If you'd like to help out in any way possible, please send your donations to Somerville Youth Hockey, PO Box 440506, Somerville MA 02144. They would appreciate it very much. *************** Apparently the all-city permit parking that was approved recently will have a second life, we think businesses here in the City will suffer dramatically with a full-city permit parking and increasing the times for tickets up to 10pm from 8pm. We are fortunate to have businesses that attract people from everywhere inside and outside the city, let's hope we don't ruin it for everyone. *************** Seems like that Coldwell Banker office that used to be on Highland Avenue had to run back to Cambridge this past year and now the parent company has been fined over $66K by the EPA. We're not surprised here, almost everyone over there, especially the manager there at CBREB feels they're entitled and can do whatever they want - for several years now. *************** Last week the Farm Team listed everyone's salary that works for the city, but we hear that some of the figures are wrong, you think they could be? Nah...the Farm Team always checks their facts don't they? ***************
