SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2015 - 1:00 P.M. However, I think this was an attack against western civilization because France is the seat of this civi- lization of ours. These religious fanatics see all of western Europe and the English-speaking world as their sworn enemies. They prove over and over again that they can strike anyone at anytime without warning and infl ict their brutality on innocent people around the world. Secretary of State John Kerry said they cannot win, but I don’t think ISIS cares you-know-what about Kerry’s thinking. Western civilization is at a war of someone else’s making and we can’t defeat this enemy until we fi rst recognize who it is. Ask Britain, they know. Ask France, they know who to blame for the worst attack on France since the Second World War. Civilization must stand together against the Merry Christmas barbarians at the gates.

Friday the 13th was a lucky day for the North End’s Eliot School! Over 130 people came out to support the school’s Deepening Enrichment initiative, which makes several extra programs possible for its students. In addition to continuing the Eliot’s successful robotics program, funds raised (over $125,000!) will go towards grade school level Italian books and language tools; a variety of science materials; and expansion of the school’s sports programs for PE classes, recess and after-school recreation. This seventh annual “Evening for Education” was generously hosted by the Mendoza family of the North End’s Vinoteca di Monica, who provided their delicious food and drink to community members, school parents and alumni turning out for the children of the North End. The event was also sponsored by DePasquale Ventures, City Suites, MSA Mortgage, and JW Capital Partners. Eliot School Principal Traci Walker Griffi th said, “I’m so grateful to the caring community that comes together each year to support the Eliot. The Eliot’s ongoing improvement since I began as principal would not be possible with- out the Mendoza family and the entire North End coming together to on behalf of our spec- tacular students.”

by Jeanette Cataldo Let’s Talk Christmas Decorating ... ’Tis the season ... I love to decorate for the holidays, one of my favorite things to decorate are staircases. I’ve been decorating my client’s staircases for many years. They make the initial investment and add something special to it every season. I start off by wrapping garland, next I add the lights. The lights should be mini white or colored, whatever you like. Now the fun part … you can add ornaments, pinecones, rib- bons or a little glimmer. I like to incorporate all of the above. It is such a festive look, fi nish it off with a large bow and streamers that gracefully fall to the fl oor. You can place a basket with pinecones or ornaments. Another nice look is a few gift-wrapped boxes.
