A Brief History Lesson Money, Power, & Betrayal: Beware the Ides of March

Roman Aureus Gold Coin replica of Julius Caesar struck between 48-47 BC.

In 46 BCE, Julius Caesar minted the largest quantity of gold coins in Roman history,

outproducing even the state. He used the coins as a powerful statement a s wel l, i nclud i ng h i s own image as part of the minting.

Tw o y e a r s l a t e r h e was assassinated on the Ides of March, which often corresponds to our date of March 15, by his colleagues in the senate... including his own protégé, Brutus.

His f inal words were reportedly, "Et tu, Brutus?" or "also you, Brutus?"

The legend is that a seer warned that harm would come to Ju l ius Caesa r no later than the Ides of March. On his way to the theatre (where he would soon be assassinated), Caesar saw the seer and said, "The Ides of March are come" pointing out he was still very much alive.

The seer replied, "Aye, Caesar; but not gone."

This moment is retold i n Sha ke sp e a re's play Julius Caesar, with the now iconic line "beware the

Ides of March."

Brutus made his own powerful statement when he used his image on one side of the coins he minted a nd on t he ot her side two daggers reminding Roma ns of h is role i n assassinating Caesar.

After defeating Brutus, Octavian created a uniform Roman system of coins.

On the Ides of March in 40 B.C., Octavian executed 300 senators and knights, avenging Caesar.

The St. Patrick's Day Parade, 2017.

By Richard Kaufman Every year, the Greenwich St. Patrick's Day Parade draws thousands of people into the heart of town to celebrate Irish pride, tradition and the beginning of spring. The day is one of the most highly anticipated events on the calendar, and it wouldn't be possible without the dedication of the Greenwich Hibernian Association (GHA).

Since 1975, the GHA has organized, sponsored and put on the parade, which begins at Town Hall and goes north to Route 1, then down Greenwich Avenue to Steamboat Road where it disbands. This year’s parade will step off at 2 p.m., on Sunday, March 24. The Grand Marshal is Monsignor J. Peter Cullen from St. Michael the Archangel Parish in Greenwich.

Although the parade isn't lengthy, the planning is.

"It's about a full year planning process. As soon as this year's parade is over, [the parade committee] will meet, review what went well, what might be a problem, plan for the future and pick a date for next year," said GHA Vice President and parade publicity chairperson, James Dougherty. "Once we have that date, we start letting the bands and different groups know, and ask them to hold

State Rep. Fred Camillo shakes hands with members of the crowd of over 250 people gathered at the Arch Street Teen Center to hear him announce that he is running for First Selectman. Current First Selectman Peter Tesei, who is serving his sixth term, will not be seeking re-election.

By Richard Kaufman State Rep. Fred Camillo ( R-1 5 1 ) h a s o f f i c i a l l y thrown his hat into the ring, as he formally announced his plans to seek office as Greenwich’s chief elected off icial on Tuesday night at the Arch Street Teen Center, in front of a large and boisterous crowd.

Camillo now joins Boa rd of Esti mate a nd Ta x at i on m e m b e r a n d fellow Republican, Michael Mason, as candidate for the position. Current First Selectman, Peter Tesei, a n nou nce d last mont h that he will not seek reelection for a seventh term in November.

Attendees held red, white and blue signs that said “Fred Camillo First Selectman” and “I’m With Freddy!” before Camillo was announced on stage by his former Hartford colleagues, former State Rep. Mike Bocchino and former State Sen. Scott Frantz.

“Every once in a while, you come across a truly extraordinary person

who would make an extraordinary candidate for an off ice that means so much to us here in the town of Greenwich. It is an office that is near and dear to our heart, and it can make all the difference in terms of our quality of life,” Frantz said. “[Fred Camillo] is a person who I've worked with for well over a decade, and I can tell you something: no one works harder than he does, no one loves this tow n more than he does, no one loves each and every one of you future and existing constituents more, than Fred Camillo.”

Bocchino described Ca m i l lo a s a “ge nu i n e human being,” and said that if elected, he will work to represent all people in Greenwich, from youth to the seniors, and those who have to work two jobs to make ends meet.

“Fred Camillo is a guy who is going to go out there and fight for them on their behalf every single step of the way. He's done it up in Hartford, he's taught us all some great lessons, and I guarantee you he's

going to do it in the town of Greenw ich for you,” Bocchino said.

Camillo, a lifelong resident of Greenw ich, pointed out that if elected, he’d be the f irst person to ser ve on the R e p r e s e n t a t i v e To w n Meeting, Connecticut General Assembly, and as First Selectman.

“But it’s really not about a title, nor is it about the next logical step. I love my job right now at the state capitol, but I love my town more,” Camillo said. “ In 10-and-a-half years at the state capitol, I’ve learned a lot. It’s a time that I’ll always cherish up there.

I’ve learned a lot of things, and one thing I have learned is that I never want to see my hometown be like Hartford.”

Camillo went on to say that “Greenwich has been the best run town since the 1930’s,” mostly because of civic involvement from residents and strong leadership. Camillo praised Tesei for his service to the town and strong leadership as First Selectman over the last 11 years.

Te s ei s a id e a rl ier i n the day at Town Hall that he’s willing to help any candidate if he or she has questions about the job.

“I wish all the candidates seeking the position well.

I f I c a n b e of s e r v ic e , offering information on elements of the job, and also what are issues we are currently facing, I'm happy to share that with any of the candidates who have interest,” Tesei said.

“Is the town perfect?

No. No town is perfect, n o p e r s o n i s p e r fe c t ,” Camillo added. “The great Vince Lombardi once said, ‘Always strive for perfection. You’re never going to attain it, but along the way you may catch excellence.’ That’s what we, public servants, do every day. We try to make it better, every issue, every endeavor. That’s what we do.”

Camillo promised that if nominated by the R e p u b l i c a n Pa r t y a n d ultimately elected, he’ll follow the same mindset that has guided him through Hartford over the

GHS Dominates LL Finals Yet Again

By Paul R. Silverfarb

T

he Greenwich High School boys’ swimming and diving team dominated the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference class LL championship meet Monday afternoon, easily taking home the title with 911 points.

“It was a really good meet,” said GHS head coach Terry Lowe. “We really had to step it up and we did just that.

We had a good Trials, but we weren’t very fast. We knew that it was going to have to take a whole different level of performance if we were going to come out on top today and stand a chance during Opens on Thursday.”

The next closest team to Big Red was fellow FCIAC foe Ridgefield, as the Tigers grabbed the silver with 598 points. In third place was Fairfield Prep with 537 points and Glastonbury High School ended the day fourth with 487.5 points. Rounding out the top five was Staples with 337 points.

“It fe e l s re a l l y go o d ,” senior Stephan Todorov ic said. “Honestly we had a lot of younger kids come in this year and I think the hard work we put in throughout the year really paid off just now. It’s really nice to see those kids step up and get best times. It’s a great feeling to get another class LL championship. Now we are looking forward to going to Opens and possibly getting the triple crown.”

Ye s t e rd ay, G r e e nw i c h High School traveled to Yale University for competition i n t h e C I AC S t a t e O p e n championships. Results were unavailable at press time.

To see how Big Red fared against the best competition in the state, check out Greenwichsentinel.com and click on sports.

Leading the way for the Cardinals in the class LL finals was senior Stephan Todorovic.

He took home the top prize in the 200-yard individual med ley, net ting a time of 1:51.08. He was just over two seconds quicker than Fairfield Prep’s Richard Nolan, as he placed second with a time of 1:53.04.

“Stephan really had some great swims today,” Lowe said.

“We knew it was there and it was great to see him finally go into the mindset to make it happen. He looked really good out there.”

Todorovic also competed in the longest event of the

“A t t r i a l s I w a s a l i t t l e u nder whel med w it h my performance but today felt amazing. It was great to come out here and win a race and take second in another race.”

Not to be outdone was Charlie Clark, as the GHS junior took home a top time of 46.57 seconds in the 100-yard freestyle.

“Charlie was just superb t o d a y,” L o w e s a i d . “ H i s 20 0 per for ma nce set hi m up great ly and keyed him winning the 100-free. It was a great swim. He also anchored both our freestyle relays and led them to gold medals. I’m very happy with the way he stepped up.”

A nd just l i ke FCI ACs, depth played a huge role in Greenwich’s dominating class LL performance.

“The key thing was depth that got us over the hump,” Lowe said. “We had some wins today and some really fine swims, but when you look in general at some of those top swimmers in the state, we are just a little bit behind them.

We need to get that second and third guy in order to offset the fact that we aren’t going to have that many victories.”

of 1:53.54 and was less than one-half a second away from second place. Teammate Ryan Jee, a freshman, took the sixth spot with a time of 1:57.39 and next to him was junior John Jee placing seventh overall with a time of 1:59.54.

Same could be said in the 500-yard freestyle, the longest event of the afternoon. While Todorov ic plac ed s econd overall, the championship final was full of Cardinals.

Sophomore Alexander Plavoukos took home fifth on the day, netting a time of 4:45.78. He just edged out teammate James Pascale, as the sophomore grabbed sixth overall and a time of 4:46.58.

Keeping the good times rolling for Big Red was sophomore Thomas Cass, as he finished seventh overall and had a time of 4:49.02.

L i k e To d o r o v i c , Greenwich’s Clark had plenty of company in his gold medal event. In addition to Clark, Big Red sophomore Nicholas Malchow competed in the 100-yard freestyle and netted a time of 48.05 that was good enough for third place overall.

Two spots away was De La Sierra, as his time of 48.43 placed him fifth. Touching the wall seventh overall was junior Mark Merson, who ended the day with a time of 48.91.

Big Red had three more top eight finishers in the 50-yard freestyle. Pacing the Cards was Malchow, as he touched the wall with the silver and a time of 21.76. Not to be outdone was teammate Nicolas De La Sierra, a senior, who posted

a time of 21.89 that was good enough for the bronze. Junior Mer s on g r a bb e d s e vent h overa l l, posting a time of 22.25.

“It was definitely a great meet,” said De La Sierra. “We had a lot of great times and were definitely determined. I felt great out there today. With all our training and our taper season, we have been able to improve and get better. We were very excited to get that victory today.”

Lewis finished one spot better than his performance in the 200-yard individual medley during competition in the 100-yard breaststroke, ending the day with the silver medal and grabbing a time of 57.88.

The Cards kept the good t i mes rol l i ng i n t he 20 0 yard freestyle. In addition to his top time in the 100yard freestyle, Clark netted a fourth-place finish with a time of 1:43.31. Not to be outdone was teammate Andres Ruh, a junior, as he touched the wall seventh overall with a time of 1:46.07.

Pascale was lights out in the 100-yard butterfly, as his time of 51.94 was good enough for fifth overall. Also taking f if th was freshman Justin Jacob, as he touched the wall with a time of 54.01 in the 100-yard backstroke W h i le Gre enw ic h w a s solid individually, they were just as strong in the relays. Big Red started the day in grand fashion, as the foursome of Jacob, Lewis, Todorovic and De La Sierra were golden in

the 200-yard medley relay, posting a time of 1:35.11 that was over a second quicker than second place Fairfield Prep.

The Cardinals backed up that performance with another dominating relay, as the group of De L a Sier r a , Merson.

Malchow and Clark battled in the 200-yard freestyle medley and f inished f irst overall, posting a time of 1:26.34, just under two seconds quicker

than R idgef ield in second place.

The first two relays were strong, but Greenwich put an explanation mark on the day during the final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay. The team of Malchow, Merson, Todorovic and Clark were not to be denied and destroyed the competition en route to a blistering top time of 3:09.35.

R idgef ield placed second overa l l, net t ing a t ime of 3:13.60. “ We h ave g re at d e pt h on t his tea m, goi ng f rom freshman to senior,” said De La Sierra. “It definitely showed in the pool and we are excited to dominate in all events.”

Senior Michael McNulty also had a strong performance, as his total of 334.00 was good enough for 14th place at the LL finals. Rounding out the top 20 for Greenwich was sophomore Aidan Kriskey, as his total of 304.15 ended his day 16th overall.

he Greenwich High School boys’ and girls’ indoor track programs have plenty to be proud about this season. They had some strong finishes during the FCIAC championship, fared well at the state level and represented Connecticut with pride at the New England championships.

Last weekend eight members of the track team stepped it up a notch and were able to compete at the New Balance Nationals Indoors, held at the Armory in New York City.

During the boys’ 4x200-meter relay, the foursome of Lance Large, Chris Wint, Ryan Raybuck and Zne Robinson-Nye took to the track and finished 15th in the country,

posting a time of 1:30.39. It was a neck-in-neck race for Big Red, as they narrowly beat rivals Bloomfield High School and were mere inches away from taking 14th overall.

Bloomfield finished with a time of 1:30.45, while the Colonials from Massachusetts took 14th with a time of 1:30.36.

“I will treat my first term as my last term…It’s one day at a time, one year at a time, one term at a time,” he said. “I want to hit the ground running if I’m fortunate to be elected. I will give everything, every fiber of my body to it.”

“I always remember what our 26th president said over 100 years ago: ‘Do what you can with what you have, where you are.’ That rings true today, like it did when Teddy Roosevelt first uttered those words. With that said, let’s do it.”

The crowd then erupted in cheers, and chanted in unison “Freddy! Freddy! Freddy!”

Overall, a core of 6-8 people from the GHA help to coordinate the event, which features roughly 800 marchers, according to Dougherty. The Kiwanis Club volunteers to help line everyone up near Town Hall, members of the GHA are on hand in case anyone has questions or issues, and GHA President and parade Master of Ceremonies, Haydn O’Shea, takes his spot on the stand across from the Senior Center.

The order in which the parade proceeds isn't determined until close to parade day.

"We kind of wait until the last minute to finalize the order.

We're still getting people calling and asking to march," Dougherty said. The main objective is to properly space out the bands and dance groups and f ill in everybody in between.

"We have a really good lineup of bands this year," Dougherty said. "We try to keep the same groups and same bands every ye a r, b ut t h e r e a r e a l w ay s different commitments. We try to keep it as close to what works as possible."

This year's parade features: Five bagpipe bands: Greenwich Pipe Band, Fairfield G ael ic P ip e B a nd, Fa i r f ield County Pipes & Drums, Westchester County Firefighters Pipe Band and the Iona College Pipe Band.

Four other bands: Port Chester High School Marching Band, The Tappan Zee Bridgemen, Nash Drum Corps., and Holy Brass Band (new this year).

Volunteer Fire Company. About 30 various civic organizations will march as well, along with local and state elected officials.

The Hibernians have a f loat that is used, but organizations such as the Knights of Columbus, put together new floats each year.

The Shriners use their motorcar display.

Last year, the parade cost around $12,000 to produce. This year, Dougherty said, he expects that total to be higher because of the extra bands and rising costs to secure them.

"The parade is very expensive to put on. A lot of people think the marching bands and the groups come and march for free, but we do have to pay all of the bands to come and some of the other groups to come and march," Dougherty added. " In addition to planning and all of that, we do have to do fundraising during the year to raise the money to put into the parade. The bands get more expensive each year, and if there are more parades in the area, there's more competition that raises the prices, too. It's an expensive event to do, but we do enjoy doing it."

I think I've seen every Greenw ich St. Patrick's Day parade from the beginning. It's been a long-term involvement.

It's just a way to highlight my Irish ancestry and pride in the Irish culture each year," he said.

"For the town, it's kind of a kickoff to warmer weather, hopefully.

It's the first big event of spring.

A lot of people have it circled on their calendar each year. It's a multigenerational family event for a lot of people."

After all of the days spent planning, Dougherty said he enjoys seeing people f inally enjoy ing the parade af ter it begins.

"It's always a combination of relief and pride in the [Greenwich H i b er n ia n A sso ciat ion], St. Patrick's Day and the culture," he said.

Strap in and prepare take the cinematic adventure ride of the year. Ok so its only March, but the bar is set pretty high with this one.

Set mostly on planet C-53 (Earth) in 1995, the action gets moving straight away.

In this latest installment of the Marvel comics hero movies, we are introduced to Carol Danvers (Larson), a former Air Force pilot who currently resides several g a l a x y ’s aw ay. W it h o ut memory of her military life,

Danvers literally crashes onto earth, chased by the seem ing ly most dev ious creatures in the universe.

Her memories come back through natural and artificial means, and Captain Marvel is born. We are also introduced the two eyed Nick Fury and learn how he becomes the one eye Fury and begins his quest for more super heroes.

The f irst female lead for a Marvel movie, Carol Danvers is a strong-willed, tough character, who’s a dy n a m ic r ole mo del for young women and girls. No matter how or how many times she’s knocked down, she gets up and keeps fighting.

The special ef fects are what we come to expect these days from super blockbuster movies (wait for it), but when Danvers crashes into a, Block Buster video store in the 90’s, some r e a l ly f u n ny r efe r e nc e s emerge. Pay phones, slow computers, big boxy cars keep the ‘older’ generations chuckling.

Probably not going to get an Oscar or Globe nod like another super hero f lick recently did. This one is a basic good verses evil with lots of the fun and action we look for in the genre.

I give Captain Marvel a 4 out of 5.

Girl Scouts Celebrate 107th Anniversary

By Richard Kaufman This week, Girl Scouts all over the world are celebrating the 107th anniversary of when Juliette Gordon Low officially registered the first 18 girl scouts in Savannah, Ga. Greenwich Girl Scouts have celebrated the important date by participating in 11 events this week. Scouts volunteered at the 59th Greenwich Lions pancake breakfast on March 9, to kick off the celebration, and will conclude the week by taking in an exhibit at the Bruce Museum, on March 17.

On Tuesday, the anniversary of t he fou nd i ng of t he Gi rl Scouts, First Selectman, Peter Tesei, presented a proclamation at Town Hall and designated March 12, 2019 as Girl Scout Day in Greenwich.

"Whereas in Girl Scouts, girls develop their leadership potential through activities that enable them to discover their values, skills, and the world around them, connecting with others in a multicultural environment," Tesei read in part. "Girl Scouts was founded

American women are Girl Scout alumnae, and approximately 2.6 million girls and adult volunteers are active members.

Three of those active members were at Town Hall on Tuesday, as Susie Ponce, a Scout leader in training, and her daughters, 13-year-old Angelina, of Troop 50941, and five-yearold Adelina, of Troop 50262, accepted the proclamation.

The Ponce family recently b eca me i nvolve d w it h Gi rl Scouts after Adeline was invited to a scout meeting by a friend.

"We were not a Girl Scout family prior to, but we used to do a lot of community service on ou r ow n a nd ac t iv it ie s because of my non-for-prof it background," Susie said. "Once we went to a meeting, we just fell in love and said, 'We could do this in a group. This is fantastic!'

They have great activities for the girls that tie in to leadership, f inancial f itness, and the community."

After the proclamation was First Selectman Peter Tesei and Adelina and Angelina Ponce at Town Hall. issued, Tesei asked the young in 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low and character and through her lives of millions of girls across girls what being a Girl Scout meant to them, and what they'd whose life mission was to build legacy continues to have an the country." girls of courage, conf idence, extraordinary influence on the Today, more than 59 million like to do when they grow up.

"Being a Girl Scout is an amazing opportunity to get to know people and to help out the community along with others," Angelina said. "When I'm older, I would like to become a pediatric ca rd iolog ist wh ich is a big journey that I'm working really hard to achieve. A pediatric cardiolog ist helps others through surgery, and being a Girl Scout also helps others, but in a different way."

Adelina said she wants to be a Girl Scout teacher when she's older.

Of course, with spring time rapidly approaching, it's once again Girl Scout Cookie Season.

Greenwich residents can grab their favorite cookies at booths, on March 16, at Chillybear in Old Greenwich, Shoes and More on Greenwich Avenue and the Holly Hill Recycling Center, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. There will also be an all-day booth at Riverside Commons.

Tesei, when asked what his favorite Girl Scout cookie was, took a few seconds to decide.

"It's close between Thin Mints and Tagalongs, but I'd have to go with the peanut butter," he said.

GHS Students Get WWII History Lesson Here’s LOOKIN’ from Imprisoned Japanese American at you kid

By Richard Kaufman

T ho s e who do not le a r n history are doomed to repeat it.

That was the main message during an assembly on Tuesday morning at Greenwich High School from Sam Mihara, a second generation Japanese American who was imprisoned at nine years old along with his family in a Japanese internment camp in Wyoming during World War II Mihara shared his experiences from his three years in a camp and the lessons he learned along the way. The assembly was part of a string of presentations at GHS this week related to United States history.

After graduating from UCLA and UC Berkeley with engineering degrees, Mihara worked for Boeing as a rocket scientist. Since retirement, he has been a guest lecturer at his alma maters, and travels around the country speaking at schools, colleges and government offices.

"I'm going to talk about a part of history that a lot of people don't talk about. In fact, it's been a pattern in this country to talk about good things that happen in this country, but not too much about the bad things," Mihara told students at GHS. "And this is a bad thing that happened to a large group of people back in the early 1940's."

Fo l l o w i n g Wo r l d Wa r II, Mihara said life became increasingly difficult for people of Japanese and German ancestry in the U.S. Media began to spread hysteria and prejudice, and accused all Japanese and German people living in the U.S., of being the enemy.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's advisors came up with an idea to remove and relocate either Japanese or German Americans. FDR signed an executive order, which gave authority to the military to

decide who should be removed.

FDR's generals on the east coast and far pacific decided not to remove anyone, but Lt. G enera l Joh n D eW it t , who commanded the western states, decided to relocate and incarcerate all people w ith traces of Japanese ancestry.

Mihara and his family, who were living in San Francisco, were sent to a temporary camp in Pomona, Calif., for three months while permanent camps were built. Overall, 10 camps were built in western states, each inhabited by 10,000 people.

The Mihara family was sent to Heart Mountain in Wyoming.

"An armed guard had his weapon pointed toward the barracks, on top of the guard tower," Mihara said. "On the right side, there were signs in English and Japanese, making it clear that if you tried to cross this barbed wire fence, you can get shot. This is a prison, this is the definition of a prison."

There were six rooms in each barrack, and Mihara lived in a 20 by 20 foot room with his brother and parents. Food was limited to bread, pickled vegetables and powdered milk.

"That's not what Japanese ate in 1942. We love fresh veggies.

We like whole milk, we like eggs. We asked the government to let us grow our own food, and that's exactly what we did," Mihara said. It took about a year to construct and grow their own food.

The living conditions were harsh as well.

"The winters were horrible.

The first winter I can remember was minus 28 degrees. I had never seen snow until I got to Wyoming. That was inhumane, being forced to live in that," Mihara said.

There was a hospital in the camp, but it didn't provide the care that many needed.

Mihara said his family

suf fered multiple health problems. He decided to look up his family's medical records from the camp, which are preserved in the national archives in Washington, D.C. Mihara himself had experienced pain in his legs, and was in the hospital for a month.

He found that he was diagnosed with "arthritis of the muscle."

"There's no such thing," he said.

Mihara's father had suffered from glaucoma before he went to the camp, but went fully blind while being detained. "No one knew how to treat glaucoma. My father wasn't even allowed to go home to see his doctor. That was inhumane," Mihara said.

Mihara's grandfather died in camp after getting colon cancer.

Doctors had treated him using starvation, hoping the cancer would go away.

"I just watched him, his body w ithered away to sk in and bones," Mihara said. "He wasn't given intravenous feeding. He was given laxative for treatment of cancer. He died from a lack of nutrition. Just because there's a hospital doesn't mean you're getting the proper treatment that you can get."

Finally, after three years of being held in the camp, an attorney named James Purcell figured out a way to put an end to the ordeal. He found a woman who was being held in a camp named Mitsuye Endo. She had never been to Japan, and never worked or associated w it h Japanese organizations. She worked for the Department of Motor Vehicle in California.

Purcell filed a lawsuit against the government, saying Endo's civil rights were being violated and it was unconstitutional to detain her.

The lawsuit eventually made its way to the Supreme Court, ruled unanimously, 9-0, that she had to be let go. Everyone who

had been detained were let go as well, and the Heart Mountain camp closed on Nov. 15, 1945.

Mihara went home to California to more racism, and unwelcoming signs.

"We wanted an apology from the government, and it was tough to get it. It took 50 years of a large effort by a large group of pro bono attorneys working on congress and working on the president," Mihara said.

Mihara received a letter from the late George H.W. Bush, that contained the words "sincere apology."

"That helped a lot to heal the wounds of what happened during World War II," Mihara said.

Ther e i s now a le a r n i ng center at the Heart Mountain prison site. It looks like barracks on the outside but features a walkthrough, self-guided tour of the conditions people faced inside.

Mihara went on to discuss the current situation in the country, and referenced the muslim ban and a possible muslim registry that has been talked about by the Trump administration.

"When people talk about registration of a group of people, whether religious or not, you have to ask yourself, ‘What does history teach us about registration?"’ he said. “It could happen to anyone.”

Mihara also said he visited several prisons that hold u ndo c u mente d lat i no immigrants.

"The conditions are horrible.

Some of the living quarters were bad. In one case, there were 18 mothers and children sleeping in one room with children sleeping on concrete floors," he said.

"Some people today still think it's okay to have these prison camps. I say, no, it's not okay because some of these people cou ld have been G er ma ns, Italians. They could have been

Kids need periodic eye exams so that if problems develop they’re treated.

But they don’t love the experience.

Dr. Fucigna has examined hundreds of them.

He’s developed a way with kids and it makes it easier on Mom, too.

Middle Easterners. It could be your families next time, it could be your kids. I simply say never again to anyone. Never again."

Students found Mihara's story and presentation very impactful " I t houg ht it w a s a ver y moving and very important message to all people, especially w ith the situation we have nowadays with immigration and illegal immigration and how we're dealing with that.

I think Sam was preaching a very important message that we need to keep in mind. Those who aren't aware of history are bound to repeat it," said 10th grader, Ryan Marsh. "I think Sam's message of justice for all people, and how imprisonment

without justice is wrong is a very important message going into this next decade."

Sophomore, Maya Thakor, said M iha ra's presentation emphasized the fact that all people should be treated equal.

"It was honestly an enlightening and moving lecture.

My thoughts were just to kind of put yourself in the position of other people," she said. "I feel like our first instinct is to dehumanize them and ostracize them and put ourselves away from them. We should really try to recognize the underlying s i m i l a r it i e s we h ave w it h people."

The Ides of March We are as guilty of fixating on the weather as the next person and are reminded of Mark Twain’s words: “Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” We find ourselves talking lately about how it seems that we did not have much of a winter. We did not experience a staggering blizzard that forced multiple days of involuntary hibernation and binge watching our favorite Netflix shows.

Column Earlier this week when we mentioned this to a friend, he told us, “Beware the Ides of March.”

He made it sound so ominous. What did it mean?

There was hazy recognition from a bygone English literature class that this was a Shakespearean quote, but we could not fully place it. So we looked it all up. You will find the brief version of what we discovered on the front page this week.

The actual quote is from Shakespeare’s tragedy, Julius Caesar. The warning, uttered by a soothsayer, is to let Julius Caesar know he was in danger and

We hope that criticism without solution falls by the wayside and all parties can discuss the issues facing our state and work together to find common ground.

THE ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARADE, 2015 COURTESY OF THE HIBERNIAN ASSOCIATION.

By Bobbi Eggers Hello, you.

Spring is flirting with us.

We feel little hints of it and then, cruelly, it is snatched away. I heard a bird singing yesterday morning.

You tease me, cruel bird.

Maybe because the fresh, clean air of spring is in the air, it seems like everyone I talk to is look ing to try something new, something better, a different approach.

Lately, conversations with friends always roll around to the desire for change, in their personal life and/or business. Redoing, rethinking, relaunching, re-energizing, a passion not quite fulfilled or just a shot in the arm.

I work in the world of rebranding. It is my passion. To take a business and reconsider how they should look, feel and communicate with the world. Everyone has different goals and, surprisingly, the methods of communication are individualized, even in this digitally crazed world. I love it. It is my training and my strength. Like watching the spring crocuses on the hill explode in fast motion, a business can blossom and rejuvenate enthusiasm.

But as I look around

Hello, you. me and talk to my friends, I rea l i ze t hat it ’s just as important to rethink and clarify you. It surprises me how many people don’t really think about this. Along the road of life, especially now, everyone needs to take a step back and reboot. Whether you a re t h i n k i ng a bout getting back in the game or your business is taking a new direction, or you’re just following your passion to see where it leads, give your “personal brand” a facelift because who you are carries over into your professional life. Today, lines have become blurred. The idea of personal branding makes some people feel uncomfortable but if you don’t take control of your p ers on a l bra nd , you a r e missing out on opportunities and letting others control your narrative.

“It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want to Be,” is a pithy, v isual, inspiring book written by my beloved friend and mentor, Paul Arden, arguably one of the greatest admen of all time, an instinctive branding genius. “Your vision of where or who you want to be is the greatest asset you have,” Paul said. You own your personal brand. Do not discount it.

“Dreaming and talking about it won’t achieve anything.

There is only one person who can determine the shape of your life. You. Who are you?”

So what makes you you?

Greenwich is blooming with help to get you started on your success story.

Most important: be authentic. Become the

storyteller of you. The content t hat you show t he world is the story of your brand.

People want to follow you or know you because they are interested in what you do, who you are. Be focused and meaningful. “Come join me on this journey of my life because I am talented/driven/funny/ adventurer/fashion forward/ smart/horse lover/cat lover/ lawyer/teacher or however you define yourself, whatever your core story is. Whether it’s transactional or just for fun, embrace yourself. Don’t doubt yourself. And be the person you want to know.

Rethink your Instagram profile. It is a one page collage of you.

Invite us into your “brand story.” Your brand is your reputation. It’s what you’re known for and how people experience you. Bring who you are to what you do and how you do it. And it has to be your own voice. Unless you are Coca-Cola, if you let someone else speak for you, it will not resonate. If you let someone else curate your taste, it isn’t you and it will be outside of your “sweet spot.”

And it takes a long time, so the sooner you begin, the better off you’ll be.

Do you need some help finding your story? We have a Master Storyteller right here in Greenwich. Bonnie Levison travels the world a s t he L e ad Stor y tel l i n g Instructor with The Moth and hosts the Story Barn at the Greenwich Historical Society.

Bonnie has coached all kinds of interesting people with all kinds of stories from all kinds

of places. Bonnie can help your authentic, inner voice to be heard, whether you want to polish up your business talk, or have a microphone in your hand and share your story with others: bonnie@ themoth.org.

Need some support from others? Circulate. Create connection and camaraderie around the refreshed you.

One of the great parts about Greenwich is the social aspect of gathering to meet, bounce ideas off each other, hear how others are figuring it out.

Woman Owned Greenwich, started by Cathleen Blood, is a robust new group connecting women business owners in Greenwich.

I have now been to several of their talks and think tanks and have been greatly inspired by the quality of professional women. One more unique opportunity to love about our town.

There are incredible resources for support here, more than you can imagine.

So say hello to spr ing in Greenwich and say hello to a fresh, new you.

To r e a c h B o b b i w i t h questions, you may email BobbiEggers@gmail.com.

would come to harm no later than March 15th, which in those days was the deadline for settling all debts. On that day, in 44 BC, Julius Caesar was assassinated, brutally stabbed 23 time by a mob of senators led by his alleged friends, Cassius and Brutus.

We feel the Internal Revenue Service missed a golden marketing opportunity when it chose April 15th as the official Tax Day instead of March 15th.

We envision a television commercial for the IRS in which Julius Caesar, dressed in his toga and fending off his attackers, turns to the camera and says, “Don’t let this happen to you! Beware the Ides of March and pay your taxes!” Before he expires, he turns to his friend and says, “Et tu, Brute?” Brutus responds, “Not me, my taxes are paid!”

A little tongue in cheek, we admit, but there should be nothing to be wary of this month. In fact, there are many fun happenings occurring throughout town in March. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be held on March 24th. You can take your dogs to Tod’s Point before the park closes to dogs in April, and there are numerous happenings at our various arts and cultural institutions.

There are too many events to list here, but they are worth checking out. Look at The Sentinel’s Community Calendar, as well as the daily email “5 Things To Do in Greenwich Today” to keep up to date on all of the events. Not getting the “5 Things” e-mail every morning? You can sign up on our website. It is a great way to keep informed about what is happening Greenwich.

Perhaps this year it is not the weather or imposing tax deadlines that best represent the Ides of March. Perhaps this year it is what is happening to our state and in Hartford that should cause us to keep a wary eye. Governor Lamont has offered a budget and ideas to get our state moving again.

Our own delegation to Hartford, for the f irst time including Democrats and Republicans, has Thank you to the Greenwich Sentinel, Icy Frantz, and Arch Street for all your help!

Wilhelm Preier Wilhelm Preier, 90, of Riverside, CT, died on March 8, 2019 at Greenwich Hospital after a brief illness. He was born on May 17, 1928 in Vienna, Austria to George Preier and Stefanie Votava.

He was a talented artist and, using those skills, he became a lithographer. He married his first wife, Anna Krusche, and, together they had a daughter, Evelyne. The marriage ended in divorce.

He later married Eleonore Ihrig, who came from Hungary and they emigrated

to the United States in 1960. Together, they lived with her daughter, Katalin, in New York City until 1972 when the family settled in Greenwich, CT. Wilhelm continued to work as a lithographer in various printing companies until his retirement. In his retirement years, in addition to painting, he worked as a framer, which complemented his love of art. Over the years, he exhibited some of his work at the Silvermine Guild Arts Center in New Canaan, Connecticut and won several awards of which he was very proud. He elected to remain in his house and live independently until his final days so he would be surrounded by his art, art books, classical music, and photos of his family. He also loved the beach at Greenwich Point Park and took a daily walk there when weather permitted.

Wilhelm is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Katalin Preier Joseph and her husband, Douglas of West Hartford, CT; his son-in-law, Domenico Sanfilippo of Milan, Italy; his first wife and friend Anna Preier of Semmering, Austria; his grandson, Antonio Sanfilippo and his wife Chiara Balestrini and great grandson, Thomas of Milan, Italy, his grand-daughter Elena Sanfilippo and her husband Emanuele Bongiorni of Milan, Italy; his grand-daughter, Michelle Joseph of Bellingham, WA; his grand-daughter Natalie Joseph of Los Angeles, CA. He also leaves behind his extended family in Vienna Austria – his niece, Barbara, nephew Hans Peter and their families and grand niece Claudia.

Wilhelm was pre-deceased by his second wife, Eleonore Ihrig Preier, his daughter, Evelyne Preier Sanfilippo, his grandson, Samuel Joseph, and his niece Regina Chalaupek. Wilhelm recently lost his dear sister and best friend Anni Chalaupek of Vienna, Austria.

There are no calling hours. Please send no flowers. If you wish to support Wilhelm’s favorite charity it is Doctors Without Borders. The family will invite f r iends to joi n t hem to remem b er Wilhelm at a later date TBD.

Meditation from Magnificat

on Faith

FRIDAY, March 15, 2019

Seeking the Righteousness that Reconciles I urge you in Christ – I want you—to be determined i n rooti ng out v ice a nd planting virtue. Follow First Truth, as I have said, and the saints who have walked in his footsteps. Set no rule or limit to your desire, which he wants to be without limit.

Accept the fact that you are in the midst of an unfaithful people…. Love demands that you associate with them, but I would have you know that

when you do, charity rather than they themselves will be your companion—the love, I mean, that you have for their salvation….

S o get r id of a l l p et t y resentment, and trust more in others than in yourself.

And should the devil still try to trouble your conscience, tell him to deal with me— about this and about everything else—for a mother is accountable for her son!

So that is how zealous I want you to be! For nothing, no situation, is so hard that charity cannot break through it, even as it makes you stronger…

Keep living in God’s holy peach and love.

Saint Catherine of Siena Saint Catherine of Siena (+ 1380), Doctor of the Church, was a Dominican, st ig mat i st, and papal counselor.

Magnificat was founded in the 1990s by French publisher P ierre-Marie Dumont, as a spiritual guide and monthly publication designed for daily use, to encourage both liturgical and personal prayer. It can be used to follow daily Ma s s a n d c a n a l s o b e read at home or wherever you f in d yourself for personal or family prayer. us.magnificat.net

Where Do We Encounter God?

would not set out until such time as it did lift. For over the Tabernacle a Cloud of God rested by day, and Fire would appear in it by night, in the view of all the House of Israel throughout their journeys.” (Exodus 40:34-38)

“When Moses had finished the work, the Cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the Presence of God filled the Tabernacle.

Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting because the Cloud had settled upon it and the Presence of God filled the Tabernacle.

When the Cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the Israelites would set out on their various journeys; but if the Cloud did not lift, they

By Rabbi Mitch During the Israelites’ 40 years of wandering in the Wilderness, Moses would pitch the Tent of Meeting outside the camp, and

the Pillar of Cloud would descend as God spoke face-to-face with Moses in the tent. When the Israelites saw the Pillar of Cloud at the entrance to the tent, they would rise and bow low, knowing that God's presence was within.

Rabbinic commentary, over the many centuries, commonly notes that the Cloud, especially in its form of Fire, was often how we experience God within the f lames. In Genesis 15:17, Abraham receives his covenant from God via the flames. Moses hears God’s voice amidst the f lames of the Burning Bush.

(Exodus 3:2) And, the collective totality of Israel experienced God’s revelation at Mount Sinai, amidst the thunder and lightning and the thick Cloud. (Exodus 19:16) Fire is a very concrete symbol of our awe, and a cloud well

signifies to us our perception of heaven. Today, we moderns are still able to perceive God’s Divine Sheltering Presence amidst the Pillars of Cloud and Fire.

Judaism would note that God dwells within whenever we manage to let God in. Prayer opens up our awareness and reminds us to let “God dwell within our midst.”

By Rev. Heather Wright When the glory of the Lord entered tabernacle, it is the climax of Israel’s story of deliverance. From then on, the Israelites march through the desert and through history, with the Lord tenting among them and leading them to the land of fulfilled promises. That word tent or tabernacle comes up again in the Christian Scriptures.

In John 1:15, we read the Word

of God became flesh and dwelt among us. The verb dwell can also be translated to tent or tabernacle. It connects back with the Tent of Meeting filled with God’s glory. For Christians, Jesus is the Word dwelling among us, in flesh, God’s glory among us.

God’s glory comes to us in Jesus, but Jesus gives the Holy Spirit as a mark of the glory within us. How do we know that?

“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.

So glorify God in your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) Our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.

All of us, regardless of age or gender, struggle with our own bodies. Do you know anyone who says, “I love everything about my body”? But what if

we said, “God you gave me this body to inhabit the earth and to reveal God’s glory to others.”

This change of perspective has implications for your body and mine. If we are ones who bear God’s glory, it changes how we view others. We realize that we all are created equally in the image of God. I have to ask, how am I glorifying God in my body or others in their bodies?

Both of our traditions see the invitation of faith as inviting God to dwell within us and find that in our relationship with God through prayer, devotion and service, and in relationship to one another as we honor the image of God in all God’s children.

Rabbi Mitchell M. Hurvitz is the senior rabbi at Temple Sholom Greenwich and Rev. Heather Wright is with Stanwich Church.

COLLINS From Page 1

Paul Collins

he shared a room.

That passion became re-kindled when he began telling stories to his own children.

“Maybe it’s the Irish in me,” said Collins through a broad smile, who, along with his three siblings, was born and raised in Dublin, before coming to the States at the age of 21.

“I’ve always loved telling stories to my kids and so I started asking them more and more about the kinds of stories they would like me to tell them — such as about the American Eagle,” said Collins.

This inspired his first tale, Ellie The Eagle: The Rockefeller Christmas Tree, about a courageous country girl who helps her best friend, the eagle, rescue her four baby eaglet eggs hidden in the majestic tree.

Collins began using narratives to teach his children life lessons, such as learning how to count or about different types of animals, frequently featured in his books as his father was a veterinarian. His stories are embedded with the core principles that he and his wife instilled at home.

“Family is the most important thing and we should all revolve around family.”

Collins recalled the official “aha moment” to begin this new venture, which happened while on holiday with another Greenwich family.

He began telling one of the many stories in his repertoire during lunch (the story eventually evolved into The Dragon’s Treasure, a tale about a brave prince who risks his life

to help others in need using clever solutions to solve challenges), when it occurred to him that what started out as an audience of just a few children, suddenly turned into a crowd of 30, huddled around him “like glue,” listening attentively.

That’s when it crystallized that perhaps he could captivate a much larger audience, and so began the process of formalizing these books on odd nights, weekends, and while on planes.

“I thought, what can I put together that will offer long-term value to kids, moms, dads, grandparents and what messages am I consistently trying to teach my own kids,” said Collins.

Hence the creation of the Einsteinlike ant, Professor Sci-Ants, who at the beginning of each book provides a framework with these “10 Principles of Life:”

1. Family is the most important thing 2. Appreciate what you have 3. Believe in your dreams 4. True friends will always be there for you 5. Always be willing to help others 6. Think before you act 7. Have the courage to act 8. Happiness comes from getting things done 9. Don’t be a bully, everyone is special 10. Handicaps shouldn’t hold you back One or more of these core principles are embedded within the context of each story, fostering a deeper connection to the characters through meaningful, value-based lessons.

Collins was also conscientious about building in elements that would appeal and resonate with adults as well, so that they could share rig ht alongside their k ids when constructing teachable life experiences.

For example, The Seamstress and the Prince, is a heartwarming love story where the prince chooses a disabled heroic army veteran to be his wife, and at the end of the tale, she becomes the General of the Armies, while the Prince becomes a stay-at-

home dad.

“To me, that was a way to teach my daughters that no matter what happens to you, you can go out there and be successful,” said Collins.

“It’s all about you being strong as a person, that you can have the family, you can have the career, you can do well, no matter what the world throws at you.”

Each book contains a dedication and a special message to the reader such as in “Moon lig ht P uppies” which Collins dedicates to his three children, “I hope you always believe in your dreams and work together to make them happen.”

At the closing of each book, Collins includes a vibrant page of “Miss Ladybug’s Bees,” all of whom wear bright, white t-shirts proclaiming va lue-ba se d me ss age s such a s, “be kind,” “be a good listener,” “be forgiving,” and “be committed.”

Collins was also fastidious when hand-picking illustrators (for which t h e r e a r e v a r i o u s o n e s) w h e n designing each book, ensuring a particular vibrancy and larger-thanlife appeal uniquely suited to each story.

“K ids are visual and if the art doesn’t appeal to them, they are going to be less interested,” explained Collins, who utilized 8 ½ by 11 fullsize pages and high-quality paper to ensure an elegance and glossy texture so that pages feel solid in a child’s hands and won’t tear easily.

Collin’s own his children are often featu red i n the book s a nd have influenced the stories in many ways, and Collins has been diligent about teaching them about the publishing process, such as how to work with an illustrator, and how one goes from the process of having an idea to a finished product.

“They have seen a business created which they can truly relate to because they heard the stories first and they are in the stories, which is just so much fun.”

Slated for release at the end of April, is “Ellie The Eagle 9/11 Let’s Never Forget,” a historical feature about the terrorist attacks which teaches k ids about empathy and bravery – among other important lessons. Collins said he would like to do more of these types of books in the future.

By the end of May, a total of ten

books in the full series will be made available for purchase as a set. Future plans for the publishing company include books geared to teenagers, the creation of coloring books (of which there are already a few), as well as posters and plush toys that can be distributed at hospitals and at various charities.

When asked if his colleagues were surprised that given his day job as an investment banker, he could find the time to be a children’s author, “I love my day job, it’s a lot of fun helping companies f igure out where they want to go and it’s really important,” said Collins. “But (Moonlight Puppies Press) is more on the creative side and adding value to the community long-term.”

He added with conviction, “Our kids are the future and unless we invest the time in them, they are not going to be the kind of kids we want

“In my new position, I have to accommodate change quickly.

Rudy’s online reservation system, state-of-the-art technology and travel professionals keep me on top of everything. Rudy’s is one thing I’ll never change.”

them to be.”

A portion of the books’ proceeds are given to a foundation that Collins c r e ate d to b enef it a nu m b er of charities including Doctors Without B o r d e r s , P r e ve n t C h i l d A b u s e America, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Collins often referred to the strong family values that were imparted on him and his siblings while growing up.

“My Dad had a really big heart and whenever there was a crisis, he was always the f irst guy to try and do something. I’d like to think he would be very proud and say that’s exactly what I would have done if I could have, as he too really loved to tell stories.”
