Meet Miss Annabelle Broccoli (Annie for short)! Our sweet miniBernedoodle couldn’t be more cuddly, but there’s so much more to her than that! She’s expressive, sharp as a tack, and at only 11 months old, already understands over a dozen commands! Favorite things include chasing leaves, stealing socks, and licking her daddy’s head. We sure love our Annie!

ABuilding the Bunker Hill Monument, Part 2
By Joel Bohy
Militaria
s I left off in my last article on cataloging Bunker Hill documents and searching in the newspapers, on May 1, 1822, the land on Breeds Hill had been purchased and an association formed to make plans for it. They decided that: “It is intended to erect at MONUMENT, which shall be consecrated to the great leading characters and events, both civil and military, of the American Revolution, up to the 17th of June 1775, to bear appropriate inscriptions of the names and dates.”
By 1824, the Bunker Hill Monument Association had come up with a plan for the monument and published an article which stated: “We understand, that the summit of the Hill, where the Redoubt of the 17th June was raised, is to be laid out in an oblong square, six hundred feet long, and four hundred broad. This quadrangle is to be surmounted by a double row of trees, including a walk, within which is to be placed the MONUMENT. The whole, we learn, is to be so arranged as to disturb the form of the land and the relics of the works, as little as possible.” It is pretty obvious that the plans they were making would disturb the land and graves of men from both sides who fought and died during
the battle. The bodies of those killed had been buried close to where they had fallen.
Donations to the monument came in, and in June 1825 work commenced on the foundation. Stone blocks were brought in from a nearby quarry in Quincy, Massachusetts. As workmen began: “In Digging for laying the foundation of the Monument on Bunker Hill, a few days since, a considerable number of human bones were found, which were carefully preserved to be deposited in a suitable place.” This certainly wouldn’t be the last time that human remains
were found while working in that area of Charlestown.
Over the years as the monument rose from its foundation, monies ran out and construction stopped. More funds would need to be raised to continue. Other than donations, how could they raise the funds? The association held the land surrounding the monument and the rise of the hill was cut, and other areas filled to create house lots. A May 17, 1834, newspaper article states that fifty house lots prepared for sale were all sold, and the association was now out of debt and could continue the monument. Not everyone was happy about the desecration of the land: “How the wicked populace of Suffolk and Middlesex counties may relish this imputation, is their business. They are inferentially charged with being stupid, ignorant, and prone to encourage “a wanton destruction of PUBLIC PROPERTY.” It is to be presumed that if the accuser should ever find him-
self across a rail upon Bunker hill, clad in a comfortable dress of tar and feathers, he would feel the same reasonable disposition to recommend a removal of the Monument itself, out of the precincts of such a community of vandals!” Grading work continued and more human remains were found. Finally, the monument was completed and dedicated in 1843.
Today, Charlestown is a bustling city with the massive Bunker Hill monument as its centerpiece. I often wonder if the land could have been left alone and saved? I guess it doesn’t matter anymore. I still go there and try to envision what it looked like at the time of the battle.

Ocean State Shaolin
Nurturing the human spirit through the martial arts
BY JENNIFER COATES
The ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once penned the words “Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”
For Qigong and Shaolin Kung fu instructor Veronica Samos, these words are more than just a catchy phrase, they are a guiding principle in her life. Character is everything to this martial arts teacher and lifetime student. A native Rhode Islander who moved to New York City as a young woman to “spread her wings”, Veronica is now the founder and owner of Ocean State Shaolin in Coventry.
It is here where she lives this mantra day in and day out. It is here where she shares this message
of empowerment, accountability, self-help, and self-awareness through the ancient practice of Qigong (pronounced “Chee Gong”) and the Shaolin Martial Arts of Kung Fu. Ocean State Shaolin is located right near the Home Depot in Coventry. The studio is sunny, bright, and equipped with everything Veronica needs to teach and guide her students through the various movements and postures of these age-old practices.
Veronica’s goal is that everyone who enters her studio is successful in whatever it is that led them there to begin with. To her, nurturing the human spirit is the primary focus of her practice. As an instructor, her manner is strong but patient, thoughtful, and inspiring.
She was taught by a true Shaolin Master, Shifu Guolin and his brother,
Meet Veronica Samos, the founder and owner of Ocean State Shaolin in Coventry. She is a talented and dedicated Qigong and Shaolin Kung fu instructor. To learn more, visit www.oceanstateshaolin.com.
Shifu Chao Hai Lan while living in Manhattan where her own training began. (“Shifu” means Master.) She learned that the power of these practices is not in the physical postures but rather in the passion and the purpose they endow within its students.
Many may ask, what exactly are Qigong and Shaolin Kung fu? Both have roots in ancient China that date back to
the sixth century. Qigong combines deep breathing, postures and stretches to improve the body’s flow of Qi (uninhibited energy). Qigong benefits the body and spirit by helping it manage anxiety, achieve mind/ body unity, sharpen the mind, provide emotional balance, strengthen immunity, and improve coordination.
Shaolin Kung fu is one of the oldest, largest,
and most famous forms of martial arts. Veronica explains that kung fu is a complete workout that develops strength, balance, flexibility, stamina, and “explosive power” with stretches, plyometric drills and calisthenics. In addition to its matchless physical benefits, Shaolin Kung fu also has countless mental benefits such as improved memory and concentration.
Qigong and Shaolin Kung fu are for all ages and ability levels (even ~ and especially ~ for children!) To learn more and to get a full breakdown of classes and the studio’s frequent specials, visit the website at www. oceanstateshaolin.com. Ocean State Shaolin is found at 716 Centre of New England Boulevard in Coventry. Veronica can be reached at 401-7024243.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your Arian leadership qualities can help bring order out of confusion, whether it’s on the job or at home. But be careful to guide, not goad, others into following you.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Applying a more personal view to a job-linked issue could help provide better insight into persistent problems. Use your keen Taurean logic to cut through the double talk.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Taking some time off could be the best way to get through a seemingly endless round of demands. You’ll return refreshed and ready to tackle things from a new perspective.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Restoring a sagging professional relationship takes a lot of effort. By all means, state your position. But also make sure that you pay close attention to the other person’s point of view.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) A hot prospect intrigues the Big Cat, who is always on the prowl for a promising investment. But be careful that this “promise” has a chance of being kept. Check it out more carefully.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A friend could use some of your compassion and concern. If they don’t ask for help, be sure that you step up and make the first move. Also, check out a new career possibility.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might have difficulty getting
your opinions heard because of all the noise being made by the other side. But hang in there. Others should line up with you once they learn the facts.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Offering to help a colleague is commendable. But before you commit your time and effort, check to see if this person’s situation is all that they have led you to believe it is.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You should soon be seeing positive results from your recent efforts on behalf of a family member. On another matter, check that you have all the facts regarding a job assignment.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your aspects favor closer family relationships this week. Take time for visits, whether in person, by phone, by mail or in cyberspace. Let them know how important they are to you.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A missed opportunity isn’t always a negative. Maybe your instincts are telling you not to rush into something you “thought” was worthwhile. Make time for family this weekend.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your sense of humor helps you get through a tricky situation. But some stick-in-the-muds might not be so willing to make the changes that you and others agree are necessary.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for making everyone you know — or even just met — feel important and welcome in your life.
