News Briefs National Night out in the North VOL. 120 - NO. 33 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, AUGUST 12, 2016 $.35 A COPY 2016 Olympics National Night Out in the North End Michael Phelps with game face on! Despite a few disappointments here and there, the US Olympic Team has been, as expected, tremendously successful in Rio thus far. As of Wednesday afternoon, the US leads the medal count with 27 — ten ahead of closest competitor China, and almost double 3rd place Japan, which has won mostly bronze hardware. The US also leads in gold medals, with the powerful Swim Team contributing seven of the total ten so far. In fact, the Swim Team has won 18 of the 27 US medals collected to date. (Michael Phelps has a couple of those seven golds, and it has been reported that his career total of 21 gold medals exceeds the Summer Olympics gold medal total of 175 of the countries competing in Rio!) Meanwhile, the “Final Five” Women’s Gymnastics Team (so named because At-Large City Councillor Annissa Essaibi-George (left), Mayor Martin Walsh (center), City it is coordinator Márta Károlyi’s last Olympics and also because Councillor Sal LaMattina and Commissioner William Evans (far right) along with members of the teams will be reduced to four gymnasts in the next Summer Boston Police District A-1.

News Briefs by Sal Giarratani Trump Must Like Getting Set-Up At their convention, the Democrats introduced a Muslim couple who talked about the sacrifi ce their son made for America when he died in battle trying to save others. He received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for his heroism. Good strategy by the Dems. Then the dad of the fallen soldier goes on to attack Trump, calling him a “black soul’ and offers up his copy of the Constitution for Trump to read. Trump should have just let the father speak, but he decided to attack these Gold Star parents, which is a no-no. I heard Trump being interviewed by Bill O’Reilly, and Bill tried to give Trump a chance to take State Rep. Aaron Michlewicz, City Councillor Sal back his actions and words, but Trump wouldn’t back LaMattina and State Senator Joe Boncore down.

  • Chestatee Review 2014
    Editor’s Note This year marks many great changes for The Chestatee Review. In addition to publishing our annual I learned this technique in an art appreciation class back in 2012. The process, writing contest winners and the works of art students, we’ve added three new sections that though frustrating at times, grew on me. As an aspiring photographer I like to showcase the talent of UNG’s student body. The three new sections this year are Visual Poetry, Faculty Favorites, and Special Topic Winners. To keep up with our growing content, we have made display this different look to people. Instead of just taking one picture of them The Chestatee Review larger this year; a change that I think aptly reflects the new direction that we’re sitting in the car I took around 300 pictures, printed them off in 4x6 format, and going in.

I used extra pictures for the students who can take these accomplishments and skills with them for the rest of their careers. background and cut them into various shapes to change the “texture.” I have been honored to serve as editor this year and am thankful to so many who have helped me and the progress of the magazine as well. First, I’ll thank the student staff that show up for 8 a.m. This particular piece was a wedding present for my brother Matt and sister-in-law orientations to tell new students about writing and publishing, bounce ideas around about how we can make the magazine better, and, the best part, do all this for free.
