POLITICAL POTPOURRI
Power breakfasts in D.C.
You know that one of U.S. Rep.
Bill Delahunt'sroommates in Wash-
ington is New York Senator Chuck
Schumer, who headed the Demo-
crats' national drive to elect sena-
tors, and you may have heard that
another roomie is Illinois Sen. Dick
Durbin. But did you know that "the
dean of the town house on Capitol
Hill that has served as a kind of
fraternity house for a succession of
Democrats,"as Saturday'sNew York
Times put it, is Rep. George Miller
of California, a longtime confidant
of incoming House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi and one of the 10 most senior
members of Congress?
The Times notes that Durbin and
Schumer will become the second-
and third-ranking Democrats in
January, and that Miller, a strong
liberal, retains his influence with
Pelosi even after urging her forward
in her failed attempt to pick Iraq
War opponent Rep. John Murtha as
majority leader.
Here's hoping Delahunt is taking
notes for his memoir.
Back to the hearth
Carole Fiola of Fall River, the
governor's council incumbent from
southeastern Massachusetts who
won re-election last month, sent out
a thank-you note to supporters.
"I must admit it feels great to
not have to be out every night!"
she wrote.
Golf with a twist
Tee times could be Long Island
Tea times if a bill requested by the
Town of Falmouth is approved by
the state Legislature.
State Rep. Matt Patrick an-
nounced progress on a petition by
Falmouth to allow seasonal liquor
license holders to apply for one-day
licenses during the off-season for
charitable events. The bill, which
is backed by Rep. Eric Turkington
and Sen. Terry Murray, would also
allow the local licensing authority
to grant a restaurant license to a
golf course, according to a state-
ment from Patrick, "for the sale of
alcoholic beverages wine or malt at
any location on the grounds of the
golf course."
Would golf cart drivers be allowed
to make "refueling" stops between
greens? A vodka stinger sure would
take the sting out of a bogey on the
13th
hole, wouldn't it?
Perry Web site is teen-
friendly
State Rep. Jeff Perry has re-tooled
his Website to offer "Tips and Tours
for Teens."acollection of information
that may appeal to the younger set.
Visitors will be able to take a virtual
tour of the White House and respond
to quizzes about the presidents.
There's also a link for teenagers
interested in serving as legislative
interns.
"My hope is that these resources
will serve as a catalyst to get our
youth involved and hopefully spur
more political and community par-
ticipation," Perry stated in a press
release.
Radiation-fighting pills
arrive on Cape
StateRep. Matt Patrickiscelebrat-
ingthe payoff on years of pressingthe
state Department of Public Health
to supply potassium iodide pills to
Cape and Islands towns. The pills
protect the thyroid gland against
radiation that could be released in
an accident at the nuclear power
plant in Plymouth.
In apress statement , Patrick said
making the pills available in this
region is particularly important
because Cape residents would not
be able to evacuate the area if an
incident occurred.
New Web site for Murray
State Sen. Terry Murray, who
chairs the Ways and Means Com-
mittee, has updated her Web site at
www.ThereseMurray.com.
CLASSROOM RAMBLES
UNICEF
success at
BMS
By Brittany Joyal and Alexander
Blue, BMS Grade 8
Not that long ago was the
"candy holiday,"alsoknownas
Halloween. On this day many
people , children and adults
both , tend to forget about
the many children around the
world who are not asfortunat e
as we are. This is why a great
organization called UNICEF
created a program called
"Trick or Treat for UNICEF."
Our team, Gold 4/Red 4, at
Barnstable Middle School ,
heard about this program and
were inspired. Collectingmon-
ey on Halloween started out as
a team activity. Last year the
team collected more than $550
for UNICEF. Because of this
we realized how successful
the project was and decided
to bring it school wide.
We took many days assem-
bling our UNICEF boxes.After
we watched a short filmabout
what the collections would
be benefiting, the boxes were
given to each BMS team. The
film must have inspired our
students because at the end
of our three-day collection we
had netted more than $1,800
for UNICEF.
UNICEF is a great way to
get involved and help people
in our world. This was a
very successful project and
will hopefully become a new
tradition that will be carried
out at BMS for many years
to come.
