Newstalk for April 9

Former Mayor and current Register of Deeds, Gene Brune, is holding his Annual Breakfast this coming Sunday Morning at Anthony’s in Malden from 9am to 11am – we’re sure that he will pack the room with many long time good friends as he has always done in years past – this is sort of a reminder that Spring is officially here.   
                                                              ********
The Irish American Police Officers Association of Massachusetts will be holding its 9th Annual Awards Dinner this Friday night over at the American Legion Post 440 (Nonantum Post), 295 California Street, Newton (near the Waltham/Watertown lines). This year they are honoring five of our own Police Officers – for Life Saving - awards go to Officer Derrick Dottin, Officer Alex Capobianco and Officer Steve St. Hillaire - also being honored from Somerville are Detective Mario Oliveira and Officer Neil Collins for their investigative works. We should all be proud of these and other fine Somerville Police Officers that work hard and are dedicated to their jobs. We from The Somerville News salute them all for a fine job well done - when you see these fine gentlemen on the street congratulate them for their efforts. If you want tickets to the event, call Capt. Upton at 617 625-1600.

                                                             *********** 
We hear that the “Oldest Profession” has taken on a new marketing strategy…its been said that at the Mystic Projects, the so called “Ladies of the Night” are passing out business cards now complete with their photos and price list printed right on them - guess this makes it a lot easier for the police down there to know exactly whom to stop and arrest - we think the world is changing very fast.
                                                             **********
Congratulations to Courtney Ann Ho and Thah Huu Nyuyen on their upcoming wedding this Saturday the 12th - the two are a lovely couple and we wish them all the best!
                                                            **********
Also congratulations to Kim Murphy for becoming the new acting principal of the Healey School! Kim’s a great person - dedicated to the teaching profession - we wish her the best of luck.
                                                            **********
We heard that Demo Man got the contract for MaxPak site - our sources say it was a reward for all his efforts over the past four years…while we’re talking about this - we heard through our sources that the final price has come down again to about $54k - not 67k for the Harvard Place home that was torn down.    
                                                            **********
The annual S.H.S. Scholarship Foundation fundraiser is once again happening soon and if you are looking for those tickets you can make your check payable to the SHS Raffle c/o Eugene C. Brune at PO Box 440275, Somerville MA 02144 - over the years this fundraiser has grown and the proceed go to Somerville High Scholarships.
                                                            ***********
Tyler Hart, of the famous Hart family from Spring Hill, is running “the race against Cancer” in the 112th Boston Marathon - he is looking for sponsors, you can go online to www.runtylerrun.com and make a donation. Tyler has been doing this now for a few years - he’s learned from his dedicated family the art of donating and giving back to his community - we wish Tyler the best.
                                                              ********
Registrar of Probate John Buonomo is having his annual once a year fundraiser, but this year he’s having it at a new location - on Wednesday, April 30 at the Montvale Plaza in Stoneham. He usually has quite a large crowd and this year he is expecting even more people - we hear he’s up for re-election this year. He does a great job down there at the courts and some of us here have known John since he graduated from High School.
                                                             ********
We’ve been spotting Congressman Mike Capuano around the city a lot lately - he’s one guy that doesn’t lose his touch and is always out and about with people in the community.
                                                             ********
That Spelling Bee that we mentioned last week here in Newstalk is quickly becoming a success - we’ve been told that the teams are filling up fast - but if you want to get a team together, you still can at a cost of $300.00 - which goes to the Capuano PTA.     Contact Sean at seanjfitz@comcast.net or Cristin at cdlind@yahoo.com for information. Remember the date – Friday, April 25th at the Holiday Inn on Washington Street – come on out, even if you don’t have a team and enjoy the evening that’s not political (if we see politics going on at this event, we will report it). It is for a good cause and should be fun.
                                                             ***********
A very Happy Birthday wish goes out to Isabella Maria “Curatone” Chiaravalloti who has just turned 6 years old this past Sunday! Time flies and she has become a very attractive young lady, just like her mother.
                                                             *************
Get well to our own Bobbie Toner here at The News, who recently underwent an operation last Thursday - she is doing well resting at home and we miss her…hurry back! Also, her cousin and popular well-known local, Ricky Willette - is also home recuperating from a minor surgical procedure that he had this past weekend. Both are great people and dedicated individuals as well as very popular here in Somerville.   
                                                               ************
This coming Somerville Writers Festival will feature a writer who was awarded the Pulitzer this week – Junot Diaz won the ultimate literary prize for his acclaimed novel “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” and he teaches creative writing at MIT. We are very pleased to have him join us at our ever-popular annual event, organized by the hard working Doug Holder and Tim Gager (we are also very blessed to work with them both).
                                                                 ************

Run Tyler, RUN!!!

[Great!]

seriously, this is what makes this country, and particularly, this city GREAT! the Irish-American Officers group honoring people named St. Hillaire, Oliveira and Capobianco. Recognition for greatness no matter what group you 'belong' to. Keep it up.

[Brittain33]

Looking forward to your article/take on the transportation bill that's headed to Gov. Patrick's desk.

[Terry]

Congratulations to those policemen who are being honored.... I am proud of them.....

[Ed wood]

Register of Deeds indeed!!....another hack political job that probably pays close to six figures for doing nothing and then he cashes out with another massive pension on the taxpayer. In the meantime Massachusetts is in a fiscal crisis and people are leaving the state in droves. If a company was run like Mass, the first thing new management would do is trim the fat. There is alot of fat to be trimmed off these government "servants." I bet it doesn't get done!

[Ron Newman]

Register of Deeds is an elected office. If you don't think the incumbent is doing a good job, run against him (or support someone else who is running).

[Demogate]

Is it true that Big Demo Guy Sal is partners with the Max Pac? How else did he get thr contract?

[%]

Is this the Ron Craven fan club? Where do I sign in?

[cb]

Yes it is sign in please. Ronnie C. is a beautiful boy(kelly park) kpu!!!!!

[You got to love life in the Ville!]

Come on now, you mean to tell me these girls are getting away with this right under their noses at the SHA? Are you sure that the Demo Guy and the Electrician don't have their hands in the Hooker thingy that's going on down at the Mystic Projects as well? Who's printing out calling their cards? I hope their using a union company! You got to love life in the Ville!

[Could be?]

Are you sure that it's not HV and BMW just going out for an evening stroll around the projects?

[Congratulations to Officer D. Dottin from Cambridge City Council]

Congratulations to Officer Dottin for his hard work. Your dedication. And your willingness to share your enthusiasm with others. Officer Dottin is a great officer. He also is a wonderfull educator. Officer Dottin's ability to connect with every age group is remarkable. His enthusiasm for the job is infectious. It appears that Officer Dottin did a wonderfull job and has no fear of conflagration.

[mb]

what a joke.........half of them don't know what they are doing........they just run around thinking their special................but lets face it they only got their jobs because they held signs or brought in votes........its a joke what they make!!!!!

[Hank Ryan]

If the demo man gets Maxpac demo does that mean somethings Fishy? How far back does this go and how much will he be allowed to get away with before someone stops him? Who else in involved with him as partners and who are his official green lights that give him the go ahead sign? Are there any elected officials involved in this unstoppable loccomotive? How far does his political willingness spree of closed eye favors spread? Please let me know and I can go from there!

[Probate Ears!]

Hank, go to the Middsex Registry of Probate in Cambridge and speak to HV. I'm sure he can tell you a few good ones!

[Gman]

Good article on Ron Craven in the Somerville News it's great to see people like him do well, he is such a n nice guy.

[ok]

Yes that was a nice article on Ron craven, I also have to agree with some prvious post's he is very handsome!!

[Hunk]

I see Ron Craven the tall guy sometimes at the Kennedy School where his girls go. He is so tall and he is a hunk of guy.

[New]

READ THE ARTICLE IN THE PAPER ON RON CRAVEN, I AM SO HAPPY FOR HIM! I JUST SAW HIM RUNNING THE OTHER DAY THROUGH DAVIS SQUARE, YOU CAN'T MISS HIM!

[Lerch]

Ron couldnt make a layup in HS. No wonder Seattle is in last place.

[cb]

It's funny to read that lerch as you obviously never played with Ron, I used to watch him play a well schooled big man. So lerch have you ever played with Ronnie I have up at kelly park many times, he would use you my man..

[Lerch]

KPU, I was holdin class schoolin dudes while he was waiting in line to play. Since you said you watched, I guess you were playing paddle ball.

[cb]

Ronnie C. never waited in line to play he was the man lerchy. Another one who talks smack where has hoop gotten you my man. On a website showing extreme jealousy for a Somerville guy who is good people. KPU>and your a hooball, you see your not from KPU so you don't know what that is, to bad hooball.

[BT]

Congratulations to our fine Somerville police officers that got recognized for a job well done! The banquet was wonderful and congratulations as well to IAOPA vice president Somerville Police Captain Paul Upton for all his hard work and efforts organizing the very well planned and attended event! Congratulations to all!

SPECIAL EDITION

Cambriville - It is with great pleasure that we announce the comeback of Cambriville's most beloved and widely read newspaper - The Cambriville News...otherwise known as McCarthy's Rag.

As many of our most avid readers and ardent detractors know, we have been off the airways for quite some time now concentrating our efforts to find our esteemed Editor in Chief, the Late Dr. Mrs. Mary McCarthy. The old gal went missing last year and an all out effort to find her was launched last week by the Civil Air Patrol, the Vatican
Swiss Guard and Russell Disposal of Somerville.

We are please to report that she was found covered in rose pedals in the arms of a rather embarassed Vatican Swiss Guard under Michealangelo's "Creation" in the Sistine Chapel.

Dr. Mrs. McCarthy is expected to return to the United States with Pope Benedict xxxxxxiiiivvvv today and will resume her duties here at the News sometime next week.

Previous reports that the vixen of viciousness was buried under the new Yankee Stadium sporting an Ortiz uniform proved unfounded.

In other news...........45 vehicles were swallowed up on Somerville Ave this morning after construction workers accidently unearthed a long forgotten tunnel. It is not know how or why the tunnel was built, but from the wall graffiti, clearly depicting a likeness of DPW commissioner Stan Koty, it is estimated the tunnel dates from around the Civil War.

Community Reminder.......The deadline for submissions to the "We Love Joe Curtatone" memorial park contest are due to City Hall, Office of the Mayor, Joseph A. Curtatone Avenue for the Performing Arts, Cambriville, MA, no later than May 10, 2008. All submissions should be accompanied by a certified bank check in the amount of 250 lire.

[Bill Shelton]

Excellent, Cambriville News. Keep it coming!

[The Mole]

Ah! It's about time the ole bag was found well and suited up with the Swiss Guards. They use to join the Foreign Legion but I guess the Swiss will do for the feisty lady of Cambriville.

Welcome Home party for the good Dr. Mrs. when she jets back with the Pope.

Regards,

The Mole

[ccollins]

Welcome back, Cambriville News, you have been greatly missed.
