Ward
2 Alderman Maryann Heuston had an extremely successful time Monday
night at the Mt. Vernon – over a one hundred supporters and
constituents throughout the night. Good for her, she is a hard worker
for Ward 2 and the rest of the city.

Seems
like Princess Rebekah is at it again…demanding transparency in
government when in fact she should look in the mirror. She held a
"secret" meeting last week – yup you heard it here and not the farm
team – a "secret meeting" with only select neighbors along with the
developer Emerald and the VFW post – it wouldn't be so bad but we hear
she made the remark that if it leaked out she would cancel it – imagine
her surprise when one of our reporters showed up! (We were the only
local media outlet present) And she wonders why we refer to her as
Princess…We'll be criticized again we figure for making comment again
by the PDSers henchman KB, but we challenge the Princess to deny she
called it a "secret meeting" – heck, we can't make up this stuff – oh
well, you know those PDSers – they're always right and everyone else is
wrong, Next time she cries for more transparency in government everyone
should remind her of her "secret meetings." We remember the PDS email
by their fearless leader and 3-time loser Marty a few months back
regarding their meeting with no place or time – you had to privately
email him for the place and time for meetings with their organization.
Yeah, transparency really is a word they like to use on others not
themselves.

Popular Alderman at Large
Dennis Sullivan is now engaged (finally) and off the market as one of
the most eligible bachelors here in the 'Ville. He's having a
fundraiser Wednesday the 22nd at the Olde Magoun Saloon in Magoun
Square from 6 to 8 pm – we hear he's being asked to consider higher
office next year – he certainly has a popular name as well as
reputation, doesn't he?

Congratulations
to Ken Kelly and his wife Kim on their recent newborn son Michael
Clayton Kelly, who was born last week weighing in at 6lbs 3oz.

We
love the recent comments from the PDSers who have made remarks recently
referring to the Farm Team as the "good paper" and the News as the "bad
paper" but then we hear it also in the opposite way. At least the News
doesn't edit news and human interest stories slanting them like the
Farm Team – we have Newstalk for that. Speaking of which, have you seen
the Farm Team lately? We read it all the time, but we don't pay for it
just like many of their readers don't either. It costs a dollar (unless
you're on that 3,000 free mailing list like several of our newstalkers
are) and is shorter in size and content and has less and less
Somerville stories – and their ace reporter can't get names straight
even when she asks the people directly. No wonder they have George over
there to help out in stories – that must say something for The
Somerville News if the former senior editor is now writing stories for
the Farm Team – can you say budget cuts and stock prices falling?

Police
Sergeant Billy Rymill, while in his cruiser, got rear ended on Sunday
night and taken by ambulance to the hospital, the driver of the other
vehicle was unlicensed as well as unregistered and got arrested on the
scene. Sergeant Billy is a good guy, he'll be back in no time if not
already, he's like a lot of the Police Officers who put their lives on
the line every single day for us – hard workers and extremely
dedicated.

Don't forget
about Register of Deeds Gene Brune (former Mayor) – he is having his
25th anniversary breakfast over in Malden on May 3rd at Anthony's
Function Hall.

***************

Speaking of Gene Brune,
don't forget he's also selling SHS Scholarship Foundation tickets for
their annual fundraiser that will be giving away a top prize of $10K
and many other prizes – tickets are $100.00 each.

A
very popular lady here in Somerville recently passed away – Ms. Vera
DeAngelis from East Somerville – who recently celebrated her birthday
of 102 years. Over the years she was very active in politics and civic
affairs, a strong voice in the community for change and to make the
community better for all – our condolences to her family and the many
friends she leaves behind, she will be missed.

This
annual Paul Revere/Patriots Day ride up Broadway/Foss Park to beyond is
this coming Monday April 20th at 10a.m. at Foss Park – last year only a
small handful of elected officials and hardly and PDSers were present
as well – maybe this year a bigger turnout – come out and bring the
family and kids and enjoy the event.
