Martinez may be the Executive Director of the Hyde Square Task Force and he may sit on many other com- munity boards. He may have been recognized for his leadership inside the community but making overt racial remarks is totally unacceptable for membership on the appointed Boston School Committee. Did he ever apologize directly to that parent his rac- ist rant was directed towards? Does he understand how vile his remarks were? Many people say unfortunate things when they get upset but there is no excuse for racist comments from a public official to a citizen at a public hearing. In the old days, liberals often blasted members of the elected Boston School Committee for being racists. Why was the liberal community silent over Martinez’s re- marks? Why is the mayor quiet? The mayor has called Martinez a respected leader “Who can help raise our schools to the next level.” I don’t think we can get to the next level until some particular school board mem- Patriots score against Jets.

POST-GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 3, 2012 Page 5 Wounded Warrior Project Fundraiser A Success at Lucia’s Ristorante by Matt Conti It was a big night for fundraising in the North End to support the Wounded War- rior Project, where friends and neighbors gathered at Lucia’s on Hanover Street on behalf of three soldiers cur- rently deployed in Afghani- stan. Ricky Scimeca from the North End, along with friends Robert McCarthy, Justin Santoro and David McGrath are “rucking” the Boston Marathon upon their return from the war in March 2012 to raise aware- ness and money for the Wounded Warrior Project. WWP provides unique, di- rect programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members. The night was a huge success, raising over $25,000 for the cause. Congratulations to all in- volved in putting on the suc- cessful fundraiser! Leading the charge was Olivia Scimeca who re- counts the efforts of many, many people: I am overwhelmed by the love and support and gener- osity of my friends, family, community and total strang- ers! Donato Frattaroli and Annmarie Wilcox did an amazing job — Donato gave up his restaurant for the night to host this event. The spread of food Donato gave us was unbelievable! Mike’s Pastry gave so much pastry, LuLu’s Sweet Shoppe gave delicious cup cakes and Bova’s gave cookies. Street Magic was fabulous! What a night — thanks to George Hadaya for moving all the furniture in and out of Lucia’s and setting up all the tables, thanks to Rich MacDonald for helping take all the prizes to Lucia’s, Berna DiNunzio and Tina for picking up the pastry, Roseann Matarazzo Romano for doing just about every- thing from selling raffles to collecting prizes, posting on Facebook and driving me around, Maria Peary for help- ing making this event pos- sible (I couldn’t have done it without you Maria). Joyce Papa Amoroso for generously donated the Bruins Prizes, bags, picture, etc., selling raffles and just helping co- ordinating. John Romano for helping to sell raffles. Melissa Gibbons for helping me organize all of the prizes for the Mystery Envelope raffle. Angela Mantone for the Silent Auction table and Julie Bonnetti for the Bruins Raffle Table, Deb DeCristofaro for working the prize table all night long. Adele Cataldo for bagging all of the wine prizes. Kathy Carangelo for all of the let- ters, flyers, beautiful posters, gift certificates. So many people helped — the busi- nesses thank you so much for your generosity. I hope I didn’t miss anyone — thank you — words cannot express how grateful I am.
