NHS To Hold Harvest History Fair

Sounding the Rally Cry for
Rally Day and JAM
The first Sunday following Labor Day means only
one thing at the Nahant Village Church, Rally Day!
Rally Day is the kick-off event for the new Sunday
School year and on September 10th, the Board of Christian Education will launch that new year with a few
changes, a lot of adventures and even a theme—this year
we’re going to have a little JAM session.
JAM stands for Jesus And Me and it will serve as an
ongoing theme, a brand name if you will, for our lessons
this year. And our lessons are going to be crazy. This year,
we are switching things up from dividing students into
age level groups, to a one-room-schoolhouse atmosphere.
Students will engage in discussions and activities together, as a group.
After having done a number of group lessons last
year, we noticed how wonderful the kids work together,
helping each other and sharing and that is something we’d
like to foster.
Sunday the 10th, will kick off with a group discussion on Creation, a look at the Sistine Chapel (from a
picture book—we’re not taking your children to Rome)
and a scavenger hunt, that will send students scurrying
inside and out to discover God’s wonders. The lesson will
be followed by what has become an annual event at NVC,
a picnic in the backyard.
For the rest of the year, students can look forward to
some familiar lessons and some totally new ideas such as
exploring concepts.
The first half of the year, students will study favorite
stories such as Noah and his ark, Cain and Abel, Jonah
and the Whale and Daniel and the Lions Den leading up
the birth of Christ and some special Christmas lessons and
activities. (Continued on page 14.)
The Nahant Historical Society will hold a Harvest History Fair on Saturday, September 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Nahant Community Center, 41 Valley Road,
Nahant, MA. The Harvest History Fair will benefit Nahant’s upcoming Civil War book
and exhibition.
Several events and activities are planned for this special day, so mark your calendars and plan to join with your friends and neighbors! Here’s a preview of the planned
activities: Multi-media show about Nahant History, created by Calantha Sears and
Robert Wilson, continuous screenings; Children’s Midway, organized by teachers Julie
Tarmy and Linda Lehman, with fun and games for the younger set (for a small fee); and
a Special Sunshine Treat, Hay Wagon Ride of Nahant, with Scott and Heather Colby and
their team of Percheron horses. Tickets will be available on the day of the fair. Also,
there will be a Dance Performance of the Nahant Quadrille by the Bishop Family and
friends; a Silent Auction of goods and services, art, sports tickets, professional services,
vintage wine and much more! Please call Assistant Curator, Bonnie D’Orlando, at 781581-2727, if you wish to donate that special something.
The Nahant Historical Society’s Current Exhibitions are: Nahant on the Rocks,
The Bark Sarah and her Maker, also, stop by and browse Nahant Historical Society’s
new museum shop items, including Doorways of Nahant poster, Nahant Calendar 2007
and Nahant music CD!
Living Arts Demonstrations include Weaving and Basket-making, by Martha
Keller; Knitting by Harriet Steeves and Quilting by the Forty Steps Quilters.
No Harvest Fair would be complete without handcrafts and food for sale.
Handcrafts, floral arrangements, jewelry and more, will be for sale. Table spaces are still
available for $35. Please contact Suzanne Hamill at 781-592-1263 to reserve your space.
Good old-fashioned American food and drink will be on sale!

by Nahant Historical Society, on September 30th, at the Nahant Community Center!

Northern Massachusetts.

ceremony by announcing that Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops will perform at the

Many, Many Thanks!
By Robyn Howard & Jennifer McCarthy, Fireworks Fundraisers
Well, as the summer winds down and we all get back into our regular routines,
Robyn and I are reflecting on the generosity of many of the people in Nahant, that made
the fireworks display amazing this year. First of all, we would like to thank our husbands and children, for all of their help, from April until July 4th. Without them, we
would not be able to do all that we do, from lugging boxes of tee shirts, moving tables,
hanging the rocket sign, delivering shirts and taking phone messages (and getting them
right, ha ha), they are wonderful. So our first thank you goes to Kevin, Scott, Nathan,
Braden and Rachel. Next, we would like to thank every person and local business that
donated to the show. Whether you bought a cow plop ticket, a tee shirt, responded to the
mailing, ate dinner at Tides, or just handed us money when you saw us around town,
THANK YOU! It was a terrific show because of all of you.
We need to thank all of the town officials and employees for all of their support and
time. The Selectmen, Richie, Skip and Mike, are always very supportive and appreciative of our ideas and efforts. The Town Administrator, Mark, is also very supportive and
is always helpful, when we need advice. To all of the wonder ladies at the Town Hall,
who help count money, or post notices and answer our questions, Joanie, Kathy, Susan,
Katie, Harriet and Debbie. To all of the DPW workers, fireman and policeman: We know
that many of you give up time with your families because you work on the Fourth of
July. Your dedication is greatly appreciated. We would also like to thank the company
that shot our show, Ocean State Pyrotechnics, and the organizer and main shooter of the
show, Joe Pannese. They had to deal with a very late high tide and two rain showers
right before the show. They really did an amazing job! Many of you called to tell us that
this was the best firework show that you’ve ever seen. We also need to thank everyone
who donated a raffle prize, Lisa Rizzo, Wild Birds Unlimited, Maura Costin Scalise,
Frank Pappalardo and Nahant Sailing Program. We hope that we are not forgetting
anyone. We apologize if we missed you. And finally, I would like to thank Robyn
Howard. She is a terrific partner to work with. Once again, THANK YOU to all of you.
We wouldn’t have a firework display without your generosity.

Once again, the Recreation Commission was able to fund the summer park program. This year was very successful. We were able to have the program at two parks in
town, the Library Playground and the Flash Road Playground. Susan Rosa supervised
the six-week program. She organized a terrific summer for the children. Each day, a nice
craft was made, at both of our parks. Games and sports were also organized on a daily
basis. And yes, the children still love to use gimp. Children loved to play on the Slip-nSlide and have water-balloon fights. The children also enjoyed many other great activities. We had a visit from Northeastern, who brought their tide pools full of sea animals
for the children to hold and touch. We enjoyed Nancy Lyn Cooper, who sang, danced,
and played instruments with the children. We had a visit from Linda Pivacek, from the
Open Space Committee. She talked to the children about the butterfly garden and answered all of their questions about butterflies. We had a few days where the children got
to make their own ice cream sundaes and bounce in the moonwalk. We enjoyed a visit
from the firemen. All of the children got to sit in the fire truck and pretend to be firemen,
when the fire truck visited the playground. On our last day, we had our usual end-of-theyear bash. Cotton candy, cookies, brownies, pizza, moon walk, games, tye dye, clowns
and balloon animals were enjoyed by all.
The Recreation Commission would like to thank Sue Rosa for all of her hard work
and dedication to the program. It is truly amazing all of the activities that she organizes
on the very small budget that she has. We would also like to thank all of the teens who
ran the program this summer; Shannon Oliver, Breanna Canty, Thomas Ball, John
Michael Mason, Jonathan Poth, Marianna Rauworth and Branden Poulin. You all did a
great job. Thank you.
Butterfly Garden at the Flash Road Playground
By Jennifer McCarthy
As you drive by the Flash Road Playground, you may notice a new garden, between the park and the fire station. This is a butterfly garden that was created by the
Open Space Committee. The garden includes two butterfly bushes, cone flowers and
coryopsis. Many of the flowers were graciously donated by Caroline Cummings-Saxton.
The Open Space Committee is working with the Recreation Commission and the local
children, who attend the park program, to care for the garden. Linda Pivacek came and
spoke with the children about the flowers in the garden and how to care for them. She
also answered all of their questions about butterflies. We are looking forward to the fall
and seeing many beautiful butterflies visiting the garden.
The Open Space Committee is looking for donations of plants for the butterfly
garden. Good choices are Pearly Everlasting, Pussytoes, Butterfly Weed an d Monardia
(Bee Balm). FMI: call Linda Pivacek at 781-581-1114.
News and Views from the School Department
Please patronize our advertisers. Thank you.
Yes! School will begin on Monday, September 11, 2006. The construction company, W.T. Rich, is on schedule to have all classrooms ready for our youngsters for that
day. The cabinets, white boards, ceilings and floors are being completed, as this is being
written. It has been an amazing experience for all of us, to watch as this unfolds.
The school and classroom environment has a definite influence on how students
learn. Well-planned, high-performing, healthy, safe and sustainable buildings foster
student achievement and well being and provide centers of community. With the
completion of the building project, we have significantly improved the place where our
youngest spend a major portion of their waking hours. Our School is truly becoming an
environment that will inspire young learners and facilitate their achievement. Opening
day approaches with great anticipation!
The residency verification forms, that were mailed out in July, are being returned to
the school office and once these are received, the names, as they appear on these forms,
are entered into a database. This will provide us with an accurate account of the number
of Nahant students who are entitled to attend the Swampscott Schools.
For some families, the summer may seem too long. However, we have welcomed
the extra time, to accomplish curriculum, professional development, grant writing,
budgeting, and housekeeping tasks and responsibilities. The new building, with its
redesigned space, is an opportunity for new beginnings in teaching and learning. The
staff of the Johnson School looks forward to implementing a state-of-the-art education.
While the classrooms will be ready, renovation on the cafeteria, gymnasium, and
library area continues, with an anticipated completion date of late fall. In the meantime,
there have been other arrangements for lunch and physical education classes. At some
point, everyone will be welcomed for tours and open houses, as we celebrate Nahant’s
latest community accomplishment.
As we get closer to opening day, there may be questions and concerns about procedures, schedules, etc. Please call the Johnson School with any of your questions. In the
meantime, we will keep you posted through letters and the web site.

Empowered Women: Nahant Woman’s Club
The Nahant Woman’s Club is launching its 112th year with an exciting program of
events. Many of the events focus on “empowering and empowered women,” in keeping
with the theme chosen by Jacquelyn Pierce, newly elected President of the General
Federation of Women’s Clubs International. Her aim is to empower women by boosting
their self esteem and self image and enabling them to go beyond the norm, beyond the
traditional way of doing things – to motivate them to move forward with the least
amount of difficulty.
The Club will kick off the year with a gathering on Tuesday, Sept. 12 at the Nahant
Village Church featuring two presentations. The first by a very empowered lady, Cay
Cusack, a lawyer by profession, who is scheduled to speak on “Examining Questioned
Documents.” Cay worked for a number of years in law firms before deciding to go to
law school. After graduating in 1942 from Northeastern Law School, she and another
attorney became partners and founded their own firm. Their specialty was identifying
the authenticity of documents—handwriting and signatures on checks, deeds, wills,
stock transfers, dental and hospital records, etc.
Our second speaker will be Pat Drisco, Executive Director of the Girls Clubs of
Lynn, who will provide a different perspective on this theme by giving a talk on what
her organization does to empower children and young women. This meeting, which
includes a potluck luncheon, will be from 11 a.m. till 1:30 p.m.
On Thursday, Sept. 28, our Club will join the Nahant Garden Club for plantings at
the Sears Pavilion at Bailey’s Hill Park, named in honor of Past President Calantha
Sears. She is the embodiment of empowerment and it is a true privilege to work with her
on the NWC’s Executive Board. A plaque will be unveiled as part of this event commemorating the Pavilion’s history. There also will be a tour of the new Nature Trail at
Bailey’s Hill Park given by John Benson, so wear walking shoes. The event starts at 10
a.m. Please bring a chair and your lunch; the Garden Club is providing the beverage and
dessert. And mark your calendar for our October 10 chowder luncheon featuring Sally
Snowman, whose current claim to fame is being the first female keeper of the Boston
Lighthouse.
“Hooked On Clean Beaches” T-Shirts are still available at Seaside Variety for $5
and benefit Nahant beach cleanup events planned for future years.
Questions about the above events, or how to join the Nahant Woman’s Club, may
be addressed to Marrit Hastings, President, at 781-581-5691, or email

Q&A with North Shore Physical Therapy
Q. My doctor says I have spinal stenosis and that I may eventually need to have
surgery. What is it, what causes it, and is there anything preventative I can do?
A. Spinal stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal narrows, causing pressure
on the spinal cord and nerves. This leads to pain in the back and legs, and sometimes
weakness and sensory changes in the legs and feet. It is caused by a combination of
factors, including aging, heredity, and circulatory changes. As we age, bone spurs,
deterioration of the discs and facet joints, and thickening of the ligaments can all contribute to narrowing of the spinal canal. The most common symptom of spinal stenosis is
pain while walking, or standing. Some people experience a sense of fatigue, or heaviness in the legs, numbness or tingling in the legs and feet, or difficulty keeping the foot
up while walking (drop foot).
Standing upright further decreases the space available for the spinal cord and nerve
roots exiting the spine. Many people with spinal stenosis find relief walking slightly
flexed forward. Using a walker, or a shopping cart, to lean forward while walking, can
help diminish symptoms. Finding a place to sit down during your walk, may allow you
to walk farther. Doing a pelvic tilt, in standing, can also decrease leg and back pain. A
pelvic tilt is performed by rounding the lower back and drawing the abdominal muscles
in toward the spine. Mat exercises which help to round the spine can be helpful, including a pelvic tilt, done on your back, with your knees bent, drawing one knee (or both
knees) into the chest, or the cat stretch, on hands and knees. Because walking is often a
painful activity for those with spinal stenosis, alternative means of cardiovascular
exercise, such as stationary biking may be appropriate. You can work with a physical
therapist to learn these and other helpful exercises, as well, for manual treatment and
modalities, to aid in decompressing the area and decreasing pain.
Physicians often recommend nonsteroidal, anti-inflammatory medications, to help
relieve the inflammatory swelling associated with the pressure on the nerves. Epidural
injections can also help to relieve pain. Because pain relief with the above conservative
measures is sometimes temporary, decompressive surgery may be recommended by your
physician.

Obesity: A National Trend
by Salle Slagle, Director, Dance Dimensions
I have been reading
many articles about our
nation’s trend toward being
overweight and even obese.
The statistics show this to
be true, but are these an
accurate assessment of our
fitness levels? In 1998, the
first federal guidelines to
overweight and obesity
were adopted and because it
lowered our previous
guidelines, we instantly had
more people in these
catagories. It is based on an
individual’s Body Mass
Index (BMI), which is
calculated by weight in
kilograms, divided by
height in meters squared.
Having a BMI between
25-30 is considered overweight and 30 or above is
considered obese. The
limitations of the use of
BMI as the only measure,
overlooks many other health
factors, such as blood
pressure, cardiovascular
fitness, age, gender and
doesn’t distinguish between
lean, or fat, body mass. The
issue should be fitness and
this is not measured in body
size. You can be overweight
and fit, or slim and terribly
unfit. The health risks come
with being unfit whether
you are slim, average size,
or overweight. You are at a
greater health risk if you are
unfit no matter your size.
Fitness needs to be our
lifestyle. Many more Americans have sedentary
lifestyles. Even our schools
aren’t teaching enough
physical fitness and physical activities. It is an important part of a well-rounded
education and a part of any
healthy lifestyle. Programs
are suffering, due to lack of
funds. So much business
and education is done
sitting at computers, or
sitting at desks. Productivity
and morale can actually
increase when physical
action is involved, or
interspersed throughout the
work, or school day. Today,
we are a more sedentary
society. We each need to be
sure to include some physical activity in our daily lives
as a necessity and a
possitive habit that will
prolong our life and ward
off disease and even stress!
Physical exercise is a
nourishment every body
needs. Weekend warriors
who cram a week’s activity
into two days, are trying to
compensate for hectic
weekly schedules. This is
good, but I believe daily is
better. Some exercise
everyday, just 20 mins in
the morning, over lunch, or
in the evening. Of course,
you can do more, but if your
life doesn’t include this,
find ways to get in the habit.
Try different activities, or
times, until you find one
that works for you. Schedule some classes, join a
walking club(or start one!),
make a commitment to
workout with a friend.
Leaving it to “when I have
time.” just never works. Set
your plan, adapt as needed,
but don’t abandon it.
If you are a parent, you
not only have your own
health, but your children’s,
to look out for. You are a
role model for your kids. Be
sure to get them into the
healthy habit. You insist
they brush their teeth, eat
their vegetables, but do you
insist the stay active and fit
everyday? The schools are
emphasizing academics and
study more and more.
Parents need to help
supplement this, by teaching their children about a
healthy and active lifestyle.
We need to lead by example, as well. Get them
involved. Make a family
committment to physical
activities. Send them off to
play outside and not indoors
with the video games. Limit
computer and TV time.
Help start their lives on a
path to a long healthy and
active lifestyle.
Science and medicine
have helped to prolong our
lives. Let’s not reverse this
in generations to come,
because we were too busy
to be fit. Let’s all live
smarter and healthier.
Lifestyle means for life.
Live it!

The Physiology of Yoga
Submitted by Patricia McCallum, Pathways Certified Yoga teacher
Just as we expect our cars to depreciate in value with age, so we resign ourselves to the
fact that our bodies will function less efficiently with the passing years—never stopping to
ask ourselves if this is really necessary, or why it is that animals seem able to go on functioning well, throughout most of their lives, while we do not. In fact, aging is largely an
artificial condition, caused mainly by auto-intoxication, or self-poisoning. Through keeping
the body parts clean and well lubricated, we can significantly reduce the catabolic process of
cell deterioration.
In recent years, medical research has begun to pay attention to the effects of yoga.
Studies have shown, for instance, that relaxation in the Corpse Pose, effectively relieves
high blood pressure and that regular practice of asanas and pranayama can help such diverse
ailments as arthritis, arteriosclerosis, chronic fatigue, asthma, varicose veins and heart
conditions. Laboratory tests have also confirmed yogas’ ability to consciously control
autonomic, or involuntary, functions, such as temperature, heartbeat and blood pressure.
One study of the effects of Hatha Yoga, over six months, demonstrated the following effects: significantly increased lung capacity and respiration; reduced body weight and girth;
an improved ability to resist stress; and a decrease in cholesterol and blood sugar levels—all
resulting in a stabilizing and restorative effect on the body’s natural systems. Today, there
can no longer be any doubt about yoga’s effectiveness, as both a curative and preventive
medicine.
Pathways Yoga Nahant has ongoing classes at Nahant Community Center, 41 Valley
Road, on Monday mornings in the Senior Center 10 to 11 a.m., and Thursday evenings in
the Serenity Room, 6:30 to 8 p.m. Private and Semi-Private Sessions are available in your

Nahant 30K Road Race September 16th
The Nahant 30K Road Race will be a major event in Nahant on Saturday morning,
September 16th. This year will mark the fifth running of this race, previously known as
the Fall Marathon Tune-Up 30K. Over 300 runners are expected at the race, which will
start and finish at the Tides Restaurant, in Nahant, and run through Nahant and along
Lynn Shore Drive, in Lynn, for a total distance of some 18.6 miles. This race will be
used by many local runners, preparing to run a fall marathon. The first Nahant finisher
last year was Kevin Nugent.
Most of the runners will be starting at 8:30 a.m., but some of the slower participants will take advantage of a “sunshine start,” to begin at 7:30 a.m. It is expected that
all of the participants will be finished by noon.
Amenities provided for the runners will include: T-shirts to first 300 entries, water
stops every 3 miles or less, port-a-john stops every 5 miles or less, plenty of post race
refreshments, and, of course, a scenic race course along quiet Nahant streets, with
spectacular ocean views.
The North Shore Striders Running Club is proud to provide race management for
this event. For further details, go to their web site at http://www.northshorestriders.com/
Nahant30K/.
The proceeds from the race will be placed in a fund to restore the former Nahant
Life-Saving Station. The Nahant Life-Saving Station Fund is managed by the Nahant
Preservation Trust, an all-volunteer, not-for-profit charitable corporation whose mission
is to preserve Nahant’s open spaces, historically significant properties and conservation
lands for public and community benefit.

GRAND OPENING
Betty Gooding, along with her business partner, Karen Adams, will be opening a
Dream Dinners franchise in Danvers, on September 21st. Dream Dinners is an innovative concept in meal preparation that allows you to prepare nutritious, home-cooked
meals, without the hassles of planning, shopping, chopping and clean-up. We provide all
the items you need, from easy-to-follow instructions, to easily measured, high-quality
ingredients.
From my own experience, dinner time was getting more and more challenging,
especially during the week, when I would get home from work at 6:00, or return from
our son’s soccer practice, leaving very little time to make dinner. We were eating too
much fast food and not eat together. Dream Dinners is all about home and community,
family and friends and all about getting families back to the dinner table, eating homecooked meals together.
Register on-line at dreamdinners.com and choose a location near you, pick a
session, select your meals from the monthly menu and arrive to assemble your meals.
With Dream Dinners, you’ll have 6 to 12 delicious dinners waiting for you in your
freezer, or refrigerator, to be used throughout the month. Dream Dinners will save you
money and hours of time that you spend shopping, preparing and cleaning.
Our Grand Opening will be held on Thursday, Sept. 21st, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., at 435
Newbury Street (Route 1 N), on the Danvers/Topsfield line. This will be a fun-filled
party with beverages, Dream Dinners samples, a demo. with door prizes and raffles.
If you have any questions, feel free to call (978) 774-2223, or email Betty at
[email protected].

Cataracts
by Dr. Neil Gross, Ophthalmologist
Years ago, when someone would say: “I’m having trouble watching TV,” I’d think- I
guess they must not like the program. Now that I’m an eye doctor, I wonder—Do they
have a cataract?
Difficulty watching TV, driving at night, or reading fine print, are some of the most
common complaints associated with cataracts. It is estimated that over 50% of people
ages 50-64, have cataracts; 70% of people over 70 years of age have them. Today, I’d like
to tell you some of the things I think you should know about cataracts.
Cataracts seem to be part of the aging process. Realize that a cataract is a clouding of
the eye’s natural lens. The lens is composed of water and a specialized type of protein.
When this protein deteriorates, the lens no longer focuses the light properly and blurry
vision results.
In the early stage of a cataract, glasses may improve vision. Eventually, glasses
won’t help. Unfortunately, pills, or eye drops, will not dissolve a cataract. Surgery must
be performed to remove it. One of the most important questions a cataract patient asks is:
“When do I need surgery?” The ophthalmologist’s answer to this question is often another
question like: “How are you getting along with your current level of vision?” If a patient
is able to do the activities they either need to do, or like to do, surgery is postponed.
Why aren’t cataracts removed as soon possible? In general, cataracts do not harm the
eye even though they do make it difficult to see. Therefore, most cataract surgery is
“elective,” the patient “elects,” or decides to undergo surgery when they are ready. Remember that all surgery has its risks. Fortunately, most cataract surgery is very successful;
approximately 95% of cases are uncomplicated. However, since complications can occur,
the patient must ultimately decide when ready.
Most people seem to know when they are ready. People with visually-demanding
jobs, often choose to undergo cataract surgery earlier than those who have a less demanding lifestyle. I remember operating on a 30-year-old truck driver, who could no longer
drive at night, because of his cataracts. Surgery enabled him to return to work and support
his family.
Much effort has been invested in improving cataract surgery. Today, we often remove
cataracts through small incisions that do not require stitches. Surgery is done as an outpatient and restoration of vision may occur very quickly. In my next column, I will describe
some of the important scientific advances that have brought cataract surgery into the 21st
century.
A Ted Lewis Fish Story
In early September, when the leaves are changing and the nights get cooler, chinook
(king) salmon, from 10-40 lbs., leave the safety of Lake Ontario and enter rivers and
creeks to spawn. This goes on until late October, at which time steelhead trout, from 1020 lbs., along with large brown trout, from
4-15 lbs., will enter the river to feed on
salmon eggs, decaying salmon nymphs and
whatever they want at the time.
I remember one late October morning;
we were fishing the trestle pool, on the
Salmon River, in New York. There was fog
on the water; you could see your breath and
you could also see fish tailing (fins out of
the water) out in front of us. I mean it
smelled like fish! I positioned my friend
Mike upstream from where we saw the fish,
to allow the fly (an imitation egg) to drift slowly through the area of interest. Now, I’ve
got to tell you, when a steelhead hits your fly, it will either leave town, or jump straight
out of the water, four or five times. These fish will tail walk across the river sometimes.
It’s just a sight to behold!
Mike had been fishing for about an hour, when suddenly his first steelhead, ever,
came calling. Out of the water she came! Line was screaming off the reel, as we ran for
shore. Down the river we went, chasing and reeling like crazy! About 50 yards downstream from where we started, I was able to net this magnificent fish. After catching our
breath and getting a few quick pictures, we released her back into the river, with hopes
that she might make it through the winter. Steelheads stay in the river until spring, at
which time they spawn and return to the lake.
I’m sure Mike thinks of that day often. I know I do. We look forward to a time when
the days get shorter and the leaves start to turn. Once again, the kings come into the river
and it starts all over again.

This year’s 22oz. commemorative cocktail at the Mitchell’s Cahnah Block Party
will be named the “COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO,” in honor of our Dad, Frederic Tudor’s
champion rooster “Fandango.” This rooster was a most generous gift from the Crown
Prince of Martinique as a thank you to the Tudor Cocktail Ice Company for shipping ice
to his island, thus introducing it to refrigeration. Most generous in that Fandango was no
ordinary rooster. He stood 4' 3'’ tall and weighed 96 lbs. He was bred and given mystical
powers by the island’s Royal Voodoo Priest “IATOLDUSO.” Next to the Royal Prince
and the Voodoo Priest, Fandango was the pride of the island, free to roam anywhere at
any time. The natives tell tales of evening visits from Fandango to their hen houses. By
morning the hen houses would be filled with 1 1/2 to 2 lb eggs and if they were lucky
enough to receive some rooster droppings upon his exit through their garden, their crop
yield would quadruple.
“A perfect gift for Fredric Tudor,” thought the Crown Prince. All his life Dad was
not satisfied with the way things were. If he had been at the creation of the universe, he
would shortly have handed God a list of needed improvements. To think, with dad, was
to act. After receiving Fandango, and realizing what he had, per usual, he decided to
take it to the next level. Dad was unhappy that our mules only pulled the wagons of ice
over the causeway and our prior rooster only aided in average egg production. Why not
cross breed to two? Thus came the birth of the first multi-tasking creature that could pull
a wagon of ice, aid in producing 2 lb eggs and quadruple garden crop yield. It is known
today as the Nahant Mulooster. On summer evenings in Nahant you could hear the soft
sea breezes carrying the beautiful chant of the Mulooster,
...HOOMPA...HOOMPA...HOOMPA.
So get a “COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO” at the Block party and toast to the great
“Fandango.” If Dad could have taught Fandango to cut the 1'’ cocktail ice cubes, Ponzie
and I would be out of a job.
Disclaimer: After you have a “COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO,” or two and you start
seeing Fandango the 4’3'’, 96 lb. Rooster or possibly seeing an authentic Nahant
Mulooster, the One Five “3” Committee will not be held responsible.
The Nahant Veterans Association has gone all out to keep the annual town birthday
block party tradition going. The 153rd birthday will be Sunday evening, September 3rd
from 7PM till 11PM, (rain date Monday, September 4th, 1PM till 5PM). FREE ADMISSION, Great 50/50 raffle, and wait to you see the commemorative mugs and tee shirts.
$7,500 CASH Raffle tickets are available from Mike Billias 781.581.1338, or Frank
Cardile, 781.581.1559.
Hey folks, remember this is a fundraiser for the Veterans. They have designed it so
that everyone can enjoy a town event without breaking their bank, so Ponsie and I are
asking you to be cool, spend a little on a good time for a great cause and please don’t

Rally Day at NVC
(Continued from page 1.)
During the second half of the year, students will tackle
stories, as well as concepts, such as having hope and faith,
prayer and trying to unearth the talents that God has blessed
them with.
The lessons will come complete with some madcap
activities (because we’ll be mad for trying them), some down
time, with appropriate movies and even music. Students can
expect to get messy, creating their own 10 Commandment
tablets and sample foods Jesus might have eaten, as well as
make some of their own. In the winter, we’ll tie-dye while
learning about Joseph and his coat of many colors, make
sand candles, while we discuss Jesus as the light of the world
and there are all sorts of surprises planned for Palm Sunday.
We are also looking for the donation, or the use of, a
video camera, so students can make their own movie, as
well. If you have one to loan, or donate, please call Chris
Stevens at 781-599-2843, or Molly Cohen at 781-592-0047.
Volunteers to bring snacks and teach a totally prepared
lesson, would also be most appreciated.
The Book of Ecclesiastics (and Pete Seeger) tells us
that, “to everything there is a season and a time and purpose
under heaven.” With Sept. 10th right around the corner and
the inevitable changes of the season, our thoughts have
turned to your children and our purpose, teaching them about
God’s love. Now it’s up to you to make the time.
If you have not yet found a spiritual home, or are
looking for a new one, please visit the Nahant Village
Church on Cliff Street. And we invite your children to join us
for what has all the markings of being a new and fabulously
fun time in Christian Education, at the Nahant Village
Church.

Need to Sell Your Home? Try Staging!
Submitted by Liz Carlson, Carlson GMAC
In today’s real estate market, there is a sea of homes for sale. A home can languish on the
market for a very long time. Buyers have a lot to choose from, and will be careful to get the best
value for their money. As a result, astute sellers must ensure their home is the best in its price
range. Every attribute a home has needs to shine in order to edge out the vast competition. This
is why home staging is such an important element to getting your home sold quickly and for top
dollar. Staging is the thorough manicuring process every home needs prior to being presented on
the real estate market. Originated in California, the concept of staging is to polish and dress a
home so it stands out against the competition. A savvy staging consultant can help highlight all
of a home’s attributes to make it most appealing to the buying audience. The relatively small
investment of hiring a staging consultant is well worth the investment in a lagging market, and
can turn into extra thousands of dollars reaped in selling your property swiftly and at top price.
The following are a few tips on staging your property, and how a stager works.
A staging consultation is typically one set price and takes an hour or two. It usually begins
with an exterior evaluation, giving suggestions on how to spruce up the outside of the home to
make it more inviting to a prospective buyer. This is a critical point a lot of sellers overlook. A
keen eye and a few details can make the difference between a buyer wanting to see the inside of
your property or just drive by. Next, the interior of the home is evaluated, focusing on the
primary rooms of the home. Floor plans may be rearranged to maximize a rooms selling potential, props may be added-or deleted- from a room to maximize its appeal to the buyer audience. A
laundry list of to do’s and tips will be left for the homeowner to tackle prior to listing the property, and things to do when potential buyers are expected for a viewing appointment. It’s helpful
to remember the stager’s goal is to help get your house get sold. Selling your home is often an
emotional experience, and it can be challenging to accept some critical evaluation.
It’s widely accepted that vacant homes don’t sell as quickly as homes that are furnished.
This is often because a buyer can’t envision what the home could potentially look like furnished
and just sees a cold, sterile box. A good stager often has a collection of props and furnishings to
decorate a vacant space, making it more palatable to the eye.
Staging can be the critical instrument in successfully selling your home! A stager’s keen
eye for detail and design can save your home from sitting on the market for months, and bring a
higher dollar amount offer. With the busier autumn market just around the corner, its time to get
your home ready for sale now. For more information on staging or to book your consultation
now, please go to www.joidevieinteriors.com.
Boston Pops in Lynn
(Continued from page 1.)
grand reopening of the Lynn Auditorium, on October 1, 2006. The announcement was followed
by other announcements by Mill City Managements Presents, Inc., the management company
recently hired to promote the North Shore’s “oldest, yet newest, entertainment venue.” 2006
shows include: Keith Lockhart & The Boston Pops: October 1st; Peter Paul & Mary: October
19th; Jeff Corwin, of Animal Planet: November 4th; The Nutcracker: First two weeks of December. 2007 shows: I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change: Valentines Day; and Cinderella Kids/
Jungle Book Kids: March 30th.
Opened in 1948, the City of Lynn’s Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium was built as a state of
the art entertainment facility. The venue, which is housed within City Hall, has hosted acts such
as The Beach Boys, Billy Preston, Delaney & Bonnie, Roy Orbison, Victor Borge, The Coasters,
The Drifters, Frank Sinatra Jr, New Kids on the Block, Jay Leno, Fats Domino and the Boston
Ballet. Unfortunately, during the mid 1970s, the auditorium fell into a state of disuse, as the City
of Lynn and other older urban cities saw a downturn in their economies.
With a resurgence in the City’s downtown, Mayor Clancy announced rehabilitation efforts
in 2002 and the securing of $200,000 in seed money, from Representative Steve Walsh and
Senator Tom McGee. In 2005, this money was supplemented by another $200,000, secured by
Congressman John Tierney. In all, the auditorium has seen over $500,000 worth of renovations,
including new lighting systems, new rigging, new sound systems, rehabilitated seats, state-ofthe-art projection equipment, new dressing rooms and a host of other improvements. The Pops
and other shows are just the first, in what the city hopes to be a regular line-up of A-list acts,
productions and shows, which will fill the auditorium, in the years to come.
James Marsh, Clancy Chief of Staff, and rehabilitation project manager, stated “Our aim is
to be on par with similar-sized venues in Boston, from an events stand point within a few
years…this is just the beginning of what we hope to be a permanent and steady stream of
booking events in Lynn’s future” Mayor Clancy added, “The rehabilitation and booking of these
acts is not only good news for the city of Lynn and surrounding communities, from a civic and
community standpoint, but also an economic standpoint, as we hope surrounding restaurants and
businesses will reap the economic spin-off the acts will produce, before and after show times.
Lynn is on the rebound and the use of the Lynn Auditorium is a vital lynchpin to the overall
success of our Downtown.”
Tickets for these shows are currently on sale at Lynn City Hall, by logging onto
www.Ticketmaster.com, or by calling Ticketmaster at: 617-931-2000
Tickets for the Boston Pops are $55, $75 and $125. The $125 ticket includes admission to
the pre-show, grand re-opening VIP reception. Tickets for Peter Paul & Mary are $49.50 &
$59.50.

Nahant’s September Birthday Babies!
Useless Information
by Ray Barron
“In Praise of Nahant”
By John C. Cort
In 1976, we helped in the publishing of a small book,
“Written Words by Nahanters.” Here then is part of what
John C. Cort submitted, about living in Nahant.
“The first year we lived here, 1970, our homemade
Christmas card was a photo of the waves breaking over
our rocks and above it, a quotation from Isaiah, “Then
you shall be radiant at what you see, your heart shall
throb and overflow, for the riches of the sea shall be
emptied before you.”
Perhaps “radiant . . . throb . . . overflow” are words
that seem excessive, but there are days when I still feel
something like the same emotion that overwhelmed the
ancient Jews, as they stood on the shores of the Mediterranean and contemplated the wonders of Homer’s “winered sea.” And I wonder sometimes, if those who have
lived here all their lives really appreciate their good luck.
We have lived in places like New York City, Boston,
the Philippines, Newton, Roxbury. Physically, none has
been more beautiful, or exciting, than Nahant, and most a
good deal less so. And when we sent out that Christmas
card, we hadn’t even begun to enjoy all the riches that lay
before us.
Although I am a Catholic, I spend a few hours extra
on Sundays at the Village Church, singing in the choir.
It’s mainly because I like to sing, but I must admit that I
enjoy the service.
I should think that more people would want to come
to church to thank God, because their hearts, if not throbbing and overflowing, were at least warm with gratitude
for the privilege of living in Nahant, for the privilege of
just being here, where all the riches of the sea are emptied
out before you.”
Well, as you can readily note, the late John C. Cort
loved living in Nahant. Yes, he was warm with gratitude
for the privilege of living in Nahant. Rest in peace, dear
brother.
Proposed New Nahant Law?
The City Council of Euclid, Ohio, has passed a law,
making it illegal to use anything other than curtains, or
blinds, to cover one’s windows. Concerned about the
city’s image, the council voted 8-1 to outlaw the use of
blankets, garbage bags, and newspapers in windows.
Violators face six months in jail, or a $1,000 fine.
Norah Nosey, of Nahant Road, agrees we should also
have a law making it illegal to use anything other than
curtains, or blinds, to cover one’s windows. Nora says one
of her neighbors decorates her windows with panty hose.
Cal Hastings thinks housewives would have a
brighter outlook on life, if they kept their windows clean.
Cal’s aluring wife, Marrit, says, “When you open a
window yourself, you get fresh air; if someone else opens
it, you get a draft.”
Sheila Hambleton quotes Bernard Shaw.”Better
keep yourself clean and bright—you are the window
through which you see the world.”

Truth About Liars!
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION !!!!
Submitted by Joe and Judi Moccia
Although 52% of Americans say lying is never
justified, 40% say it’s acceptable to exaggerate a story, to
make it more interesting, 33% say it’s okay to lie about
your age and 33% say it’s also okay to lie about being
sick, to take a day off at work. So reports an Associated
Press/Ipsos Poll..
Richie Conigliaro, says, “Another difference between golf and politics is that in golf, you cannot improve
your lie.” Joe Klink, says,”Much of the lying done by
men should be blamed on women: they insist on asking
questions.” Bob Frary, says, “Some people have a habit of
lying, while others do very well without the habit.”
As Frank Cusack, will say, “A lie is an abomination
unto the Lord, and an ever-present help in time of
trouble.” Barbara D’Amico, says, “Children learn to lie
from parents, who teach them to say they don’t want a
second portion of ice cream.” The alluring Lisa Scourtas,
reminds us, money talks, but it doesn’t always tell the
truth.
The charming Mary Dill, of Cary Street, says, “Some
women find it hard to tell a lie; others can tell it as soon
as their husbands open their mouths.” Mary’s handsome
husband, Dan Dill, says, “The man who says he tells no
lies is telling one.”
On Thursday, August 10, a bit of Hollywood
moviemaking magic came to Nahant. A television commercial was filmed on the oceanfront deck of the Anchorage Apartments, on Sherman Avenue. The commercial
was done by Element Productions of Boston, for CDPHP
(Capital District Physicians Health Plan) and featured two
middle-aged couples relaxing on vacation, discussing
health care.
Filming started about noon and finished about 9 p.m.
There was a crew of about 40 people, which included a
sound crew, a lighting crew, a camera crew, a director, a
location manager, a set designer, caterers, makeup, wardrobe, props, and of course, actors. Element Productions
rented the Bayside for the day and used it as their base of
operations.
Tim Gorman, the location manager, said that filming
a commercial brings in all the elements of filming a
motion picture. Tim, who found the location and has
fallen in love with our town, said “Don’t be surprised to
see Nahant used as a location in other commercials, or
perhaps, as a location for some scenes in a major motion
picture.”

Sleep makes you smarter, says a new Harvard study.
Well, for those of you who have trouble falling asleep,
suggest you read my column. Yes, It will put you asleep!
Oops!
The charming Maura Devereaux wants you to know,
man is the only animal that goes to sleep when he’s not
sleepy, and gets up when he is.
Maura’s husband, James “The Hunk,” Devereaux,
says, “It is impolite for a man to fall asleep, while his
wife is talking, but a man has to sleep some time.”
Obese Children? Not in Nahant!
Mangia! Mangia! Parents who use rigid discipline at
home are five times more likely to raise obese children,
says a Boston University study. The “Clean your plate or
else!” approach to raising kids, the study found, teaches
them to eat, even when they’re not hungry. According to
Dr. Nancy Krebs, of the American Academy of Pediatrics,
kids who learn it’s okay to stop eating when they’re full,
are healthier for life.
Mother Superior, Annie Rooney, says, “Being overweight shortens life, probably on the principle that God
summons you after you’ve eaten your allotted share.”
The enchanting Darlene Conigliaro, “Overweight is
usually the result of living from hand to mouth, from hand
to mouth, from hand to mouth.”
The electricfying Ed Poulin, of Irving Way, says,
“The more we overeat, the harder it is for us to get close
to the table.” Gee, is Ed speaking from experience?
Ed’s sweet wife, Gayle, a native of New Orleans,
says, “Americans have more food to eat than any other
people on earth, and more diets to keep them from eating
it.”
Paula Smith of Pleasant Street, says, “The ideal diet
is expressed in four words: No more, thank you.”
Paula’s husband, Lawrence Smith, says, “Scientists
tell us we are what we eat. Nuts must be more common in
diets than we thought.”

In July,
12-year-old
Alexandra
Moccia was
invited to
compete at the
IMTA Convention
(International
Model and
Talent Association) in
New York
City, through
the John
Robert Powers School of
Acting. She
has been
attending the
school for
about a year.
Talent agents
from Los
Angeles went
to the school,
to interview
students for
the competition. Students
selected go through six months of intense training, to
prepare for the competition. The event lasts seven days;
students have to compete in many different categories.
Over 2,000 contestants, from all over the world, competed
in New York, with over 400 agents and directors attending
to film, view and score each contestant. IMTA was a very
intense competition. Ashton Kutcher, Katie Holmes, Eva
Longoria and many others started at this competition.
Contestants are asked to perform in front of some of
the biggest agents, managers and actors in the business.
Alexandra competed in eight categories and took home
six awards. She received an award in Singing, Television
and Commercial, Team Singing, Monologue, Cold Read
and Young Miss Actress of the Year. During the week,
competitors were scheduled to go to a number of seminars
on acting, performing and what to expect in this type of
business. The days were very long and stressful, but it all
seemed to pay off in the end, when the telephone rang in
Alexandra’s hotel room. She was told that an agent from
Sony heard her sing and wanted her to audition for a band
that would be touring with the pop star Rihanna. That was
exciting!
The next day, she got another call and was requested
by all of the judges to perform in the Grand Ballroom at
the Hilton Hotel, for the Awards Night Celebration. Every
agent, manager, actor and contestant would be attending.
Alexandra was the only singer asked, along with one male
dancer, to perform for the closing ceremonies. It was quite
an honor. After the competition was over, she received
call-backs from agents in Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks
and Los Angeles, California. She is now invited to come
to California, to interview for the upcoming pilot season.
On the way home, while driving down the Nahant
Causeway, Alexandra was asked how she felt about her
big adventure in New York City, and she answerered,
looking out the window, “There is no place like home!”

Expert on Stellwagen Whales to Speak At September 21 SWIM Meeting
Submitted by Polly Bradley
Will the extinction of the fewer than 400 North Atlantic Right Whales still left alive be hastened by the proposed construction of liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals adjacent to Stellwagen
Bank National Marine Sanctuary? Mason Weinrich, Executive Director and Chief Scientist at the
Whale Center of New England (WCNE) will address this question at the next meeting of Safer
Waters in Massachusetts (Nahant SWIM) on Thursday, September 21, at 7 pm at Northeastern
University Marine Science Center, 430 Nahant Road, Nahant.
Weinrich is THE expert on whales in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. We are
lucky to have him (at our meeting and as an advocate for the whales). He has conducted research
at Stellwagen Bank, in Massachusetts Bay, and throughout New England for over three decades
and has been Executive Director of WCNE since 1980. He is also Vice President of the Board of
Directors of the American Cetacean Society, technical advisor to New England’s Large Whale
Recovery Team, and a member of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary Advisory
Council. He has published many articles, both popular and scientific, about the whales of New England. He is primary captain of the WCNE research vessel, Silver II, and head naturalist at Capt. Bill and Son’s Whale Watch, which sails out of Gloucester. He holds a B.S. in Zoology from
Cornell University.
Weinrich will give SWIM members and guests an update on the latest news on the proposed LNG terminals; an explanation on the potential
effect on the six species of endangered whales and four species of endangered sea turtles that frequent Stellwagen Bank and adjacent waters; outstanding photos of New England whales and stories about whale behavior; suggestions on what citizens can do to protect the whales and especially
bring the North Atlantic Right Whale back from the brink of extinction; The Endangered Species Act and whether there is any way for citizens to
have input in the agency consultation now in process.
On July 28, Coast Guard Commander T. C. Miller and H. Keith Lesnick, program manager of the US Maritime Administration Deepwater Ports,
the federal officials who will make the final decisions on the proposed LNG terminals, wrote to the proponents suspending the time line for processing the license applications until more information is provided. The letter said, “This suspension allows more time for completion of the NMFS
[National Marine Fisheries Service] Biological Opinion for the Endangered Species Act Section 7

Nahant Community Preservation Grants
Submitted by Lynne Spencer
The Nahant Community Preservation Committee is pleased to announce grant
applications for fiscal year 2007 will be available at the Town Hall on September 8,
2006.
Community Preservation funding is generated by a 3% real estate tax surcharge
that was approved by the 2004 Town Meeting and by state revenues that are collected as
real estate transaction fees.
The Nahant’s FY-07 real estate tax surcharge will amount to approximately
$110,000 and will be available in the spring of 2007. The state match of approximately
$110,000 will become available in the autumn of 2007.
The statute mandates that 30% of the total funds are allocated to specific issues
defined as affordable housing, historic preservation and open space. While 10% of the
total amount must be reserved for each of these specific issues, the remaining 70% may
be spent at the discretion of Town.
The Committee will study the current and future needs of the Town regarding
community preservation through discussions with town committees and an open meeting scheduled for 7:30 PM on Tuesday, September 19, at the Town Hall.
The first year of grant funding provided matching grants to the Nahant Lifesaving
Station, the Nahant Dory Club, the Nahant Village Church, the private non-profit group,
Come Swing With Me, and a portion of the costs of a comprehensive master plan for the
Town. It is hoped that the third year of grant funding will inspire projects to fulfill the
mission of the Community Preservation Committee “to protect and enhance Nahant’s
unique character as a coastal residential community by facilitating efforts to preserve
historic places and structures, to retain and protect open spaces, to increase and/or
develop lands available for recreational use and to seek creative solutions to the problem
of affordable housing in Nahant.”
Grant applications must be submitted by December 15, 2006. The Committee will
review the applications and make recommendations to the April 2007 Town Meeting.
Questions may be directed to Lynne Spencer (617.733.9737) or Tom Famulari
(781.581.0933).

Doc served as Chair of the Biology Department, until
1967, when he became the first Director of Northeastern’s
Marine Science Center. Under Doc’s direction, the Marine
Science Center became a nationally-recognized center for
marine organismal education and research. He served as
Director until his retirement in 1985.
Doc was also an advisor to the Stratton Commission
on Marine Science, Engineering and Resources
(http://www.lib.noaa.gov/edocs/stratton/title.html) in
1968 under the Johnson Administration. One of the
outcomes of this Commission was the establishment of
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA).
After retiring from Northeastern, Doc re-focused his
research on the biology and systematics of Dorvilleid,
Nerillid, Protodrilid and Syllid Polychaetes of the Gulf of
Maine, as well as on non-Otoplanid Proseriate turbellarians from the region.
At the time of his death, Doc was completing work
on Nemerteans, from the intertidal of New Zealand, and
the description of some of Verrill’s Nemerteans from New
England, that have not been seen since he described them.
Doc described many new species of marine worms and
has had other new species named in his honor, by students
and colleagues.
Doc earned his PhD. from Stanford University, in
1947 and served in WWII in the Medical Corps, in the
Pacific Theater. He was present for the battles of Tarawa
and Saipan. A memorial service was be held on Monday,
August 14th at the Nahant Country Club.

Letter to Editor
Happy Holidays! I thought
you would enjoy these pictures
for your HOOMPA segment. The
girls travel with me and this is one
of their favorite destinations. They
are taking a break from
windsurfing in the Bay Islands,
Roatan. This is the largest group
of islands 30 miles north of
Honduras and 90 east of Belize.
The girls also have many friends here and have helped some of less fortune. The girl on
the far left is April Smith of Swampscott. The girl in the middle is Elyse Tufts (my
daughter). Girl on the far right is Degelis Tufts (my daughter, also). April and Elyse
attend Swampscott High School and Degelis is a sophomore at the University of Virginia. Degelis is majoring in finance and foreign affairs. Degelis and Elyses’s Godparents are Judi Vanloon and David Hussey of Sunset Road. Judi says “Hi” to you and told
me you and her are good friends. You and I have met more than once at Seaside Business Services. Thanks for your past help. Well, I hope you enjoy this! Submitted by
Michael Tufts.

In Memory of John C. Cort
Submitted by Alice and Julia Cort
Cort, John C. of Nahant, Massachusetts, died Thursday, August 3, 2006, at home, aged 92 years. Born Dec.
3, 1913, in Woodmere, on Long Island, NY, Cort was a journalist, labor organizer, Peace Corps pioneer, an early
associate of Dorothy Day at the Catholic Worker in New York, and for more than 60 years, at the center of
progressive social movements in the US.
In 1935, after graduating from Harvard University, Cort converted to Catholicism. The following year, he
joined the Catholic Worker movement, founded by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin. In the course of volunteering at the Catholic Worker soup kitchen and living at its Mott St. house on the Bowery, he contracted tuberculosis, and spent much of the next decade recovering in sanatoria, while continuing his social activism.
During the late 1930’s, he was a labor organizer for clothing workers in Pennsylvania. Cort was one of the
founders of the Association of Catholic Trade unionists, an editor and columnist for Commonweal, the Treasurer of the Religion and Socialism Commission of the Democratic Socialists of America and an editor of the
Religious Socialism Newsletter. Twice recognized with Lifetime Achievement awards, from the Democratic
Socialists of America, (Boston Chapter and National organizations), he was active in the Democratic Party of
Massachusetts for many years, most recently as a member of the Nahant Democratic Town Committee.
Between 1950 and 1962, Cort was the business agent for the Newspaper Guild of Greater Boston and from
1962-64 he was Assistant Director of the Peace Corps in the Philippines. Upon return to the States, he was the
director of the Commonwealth Service Corps, a state-run anti-poverty program in Massachusetts, and later was the director of Model Cities, in Lynn, MA.
Cort authored “Christian Socialism” and an autobiography, “Dreadful Conversions: The Making of a Catholic Socialist.” Just before his death,
he completed work on a history of justice and the real right to work.
John, with his wife Helen, ten children, and father-in-law George W. Haye, moved to Nahant in 1970. An avid sailor, Cort was a member of the
Dory Club for many years and won the Town Class National Championship several times, and with his son David, won the North American Doubles
Championship in the Sunfish class.
Also a talented bass, Cort was deeply involved with church choirs ever since his childhood, when he attended the Choir School of the Cathedral
of Saint John the Divine. For more than thirty years, and at the time of his death, he was a member of the choir at both St. Thomas Aquinas Church,
Nahant and the Nahant Village Church. He also sang until recently with the choir of St. Francis de Sales, in Roxbury.
He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Helen Haye Cort, daughters Dr. Barbara Gaerlan of Los Angeles, Dr. Rebecca H., Deputy Commissioner
of Education for the State of New York and spouse Dionigi Cossu of New York, NY, Lydia H., of Santa Fe, NM, Maryliz, of Nahant, Dr. Alice M.,
and spouse Dr. Bruce Walker of Nahant, Susan R. and spouse Dr. Vladimir Matias, of Santa Fe, NM, Julia E. and spouse Dr. Mark Lehner, of Milton,
MA, and three sons, Nicholas P. and spouse Evelyn of Bow, NH; Paul F. and spouse Kitty of Wellesley, MA; and David and spouse Joanna Gelband
of Watertown, MA. He is also survived by eighteen grandchildren, Michael and Marisa Scroppo; Terry Gaerlan; Paul Cossu; Colin, Tara, Cameron,
and Aidan Cort; Katherine and Adam Walker; Benjamin and May Cort; Eugene and Sonja Matias, and Ramsi, Luke, Eliza and Alexander Lehner.
A funeral mass was held at St. Thomas Aquinas Church on August 7, 2006. He was buried in Greenlawn Cemetery, Nahant. In lieu of flowers,
donations may be made in his name to the St. Vincent de Paul’s Society, St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Nahant, or My Brother’s Table, 98 Willow St.,
Lynn, MA 01901.
How I Met John C. Cort
Submitted by Emily Potts
I didn’t know who he was. He came to the door with a fish. He had had a good catch and thought I might like one. I was brand new to town. I
had lived, up to that point in my life, far from any coastal waters and fresh ocean fish. We ate corn fed beef. We ate corn. We ate chickens who ate
corn. The only fish I knew were in the Aquarium, or were battered and fried and served with a hush puppy or two. This fish had a tail and a head with
eyes. He handed it to me. It was folded in a newspaper. I tried not to cringe as I took it and I said “Thank you.” He pointed out that it was not scaled
but “You know how to do it, don’t you?” “Could you just tell me, briefly, how to do it?” I asked.
He sighed—I think at the interruption in his day—and went to the kitchen and got a knife and set to work. He cut off the head much to my relief.
He talked about fishing, about Roxbury, about the Peace Corps, about TB and about his family. His voice was deep. He was tall, as he stooped over
the counter. He had an authoritative air about him. He said he had 10 children. I thought he might be Catholic.
Later, he would tell me that his wife, Helen, was a very dangerous woman. That she had 10 children and
made it seem easy. “Other women see her and then have maybe 4 or 5, or 6, before they realize that only
Helen is that remarkable.”
After the scaling and beheading were done he said, “You know how to filet it don’t you.” “No, I really
don’t.” So, after another sigh, he showed me. He lifted out the backbone and ribs and told me how to pull the
skin against the knife, so it would come off in a single piece. I was a slow learner. He became a little exasperated with me and took the knife back a couple of times, to get it started properly for me. My filet was not so
nice as his. I could tell he thought it could have been done better.
I saw him a few days later, as he rounded the corner by my house. I told him how much we had enjoyed
the fish and he told me he was on his way to Mass at St. Thomas. Later that day, as I sat in the Village Church,
I heard a familiar deep voice from the choir loft. I turned and looked and there he was. I had never known
anyone who went to both a Catholic and Protestant church in the same day! High up in the choir loft he
seemed huge, towering above the other choir members.
Over time, as I came to know him better, I realized that he WAS huge. He had a role in the history that I
had only read. He had visions of a better world. He was generous, not only with his fish, but with his time and
efforts for poor people. He had high standards in filets and in the laws that protect the weakest among us. Just
as he stuck with me that day, he stuck with the long, hard fight for better conditions for people.
I can filet a fish now. I do a pretty good job. And each time – I think of John.
