students in math, knits for a prayer
shawl ministry, and works part-time.
As part of the program, Cho
traveled to Bentley University for
the MA HOBY three-day semi-
nar, where she met distinguished
leaders, developed leadership skills,
and met other students from across
the Commonwealth. Our days
were packed from breakfast until
after dinner. It was a great experi-ence. We heard an eight-year-old
patient from St. Jude Childrens
Hospital speak with her mom.
They talked about the dedication
of the doctors and other medical
professionals to their work. Ive
thought about oncology before
and it did make me think about it
again, said Cho, who is leaning
toward a biomedical engineering
major for college. We also made
cards for patients. We had to really
think about to writethey told us
you couldnt say get better soon
thats not necessarily the case for
all kids.
Approximately 220 high school
students participate in the seminar
every year, according to Gail El-
more, President of MA HOBY.
We address the three phases of
leadership individual, group and
societal. For each of the phases, we
have a speaker and an activity to
emphasize the lessons taught, she
said. We believe our methods will
empower students by giving them
tools to know their own leadership
style, lead within a group to excelin society, and have a positive im-
pact in the betterment of all. This
is in keeping with our taglineem-
power, lead, excel.
Life is Good co-founder John
Jacobs talked about a different way
to view work. He said You need
to look at how you get to do things
versus that you have to do things.
He began selling t-shirts on thestreet with his brother and kept
pushing forward. It turned into
him finding a business later. I think
he was my favorite speaker, Cho
said.Students were put into groups
to put what each leader said into
practice. We worked in groups of
10 or 11 students talking about
what the speakers said about lead-
ership. Then, we did a survey that
correlated what type of leader we
were using animalseagle, beaver,
buffalo or mouse. I was between
an eagle and buffalo, but a friendsaid I was more like the first, Cho
said. In addition to attending the
seminar, students can choose to
participate in volunteer opportuni-
ties each month organized
through MA HOBY. We empha-
size the importance of giving back
and as an organization we volun-
teer 7,000 hours a year. Many of
the events we help at are fundrais-ers, which are crucial to the ongo-
ing success of the organizations.
Therefore, as volunteers, we are
often given responsible roles which
allow further development of lead-
ership skills which in turn, devel-
ops confidence, said Elmore. On
average, about 50 students partic-
ipate per event.
In August, Cho spent three
days in a dorm on the UMASS-
Amherst campus to help out with
the Special Olympics. We helped
out in the bocce, softball and cy-
cling area. I called out names of
the players at softball and the plays
too. When you called the name
and number of the athletes, they
would wave and get very excited.One woman missed every time she
got up to bat, but she still tried and
her teammates kept encouraging
her. It showed the resilience to
keep on trying, Cho said. We
also spent a lot of time talking to
the athletes. The experience
changed my perspective on inter-
action with those with special
needsthey are easy to get to knowif you give them the time. They
are very funny too.

about a war that was won and over.
There is no purpose to regime changein Afghanistan. We had regime
change in Iraq. We took out the Tal-
iban in Afghanistan. I used to make
fun of liberals when they were hyster-
ical about Iraq. Pointing out they
hadnt made a peep about
Afghanistan because we had done all
we ever, ever possibly could accom-
plish in Afghanistan within about six
weeks maybe six months.You know, I agree with that, but the
lass must have amnesia. It was the
previous administration that instead
of bugging out after beating the Tal-
iban decided to stay and make the
place another Kansas, or something.
HC; How about the Free Syr..,
Hey Ann, How about the Free Syrian
Army The Free Syrian army we were
gonna be with them right we were
gonna bomb Assad for them. Then
Obama said no we cant really bomb
them were not gonna bomb Assad be-cause the free Syrian army is worth-
less its just a bunch of farmers and
lawyers and pharmacists and theyre
no damn good and so then the free
Syrian army took two American jour-
nalists, so called Sotloff and Foley, and
sold them to the ISIS so they could be
beheaded and shortly after they sold
them to the ISIS we decided they
were going to be our allies on theground.
Again, something I can under-
stand, but it was never a good idea to
put our nose into the Syrian tent.
Give Obama some credit. He let
himself get bailed out by Putin on this.
Its so-called conservatives, McCain
and Lindsay Graham, who were hot
to bomb.

Morchoe on H. Carr and A. CoulterSchiava.Their wines deliver the sense of
place that I look for and a stylistic vi-
sion. They all have fine texture and ex-
cellent balance with pure flavors that
are textbook examples of their grapetypes. These are elegant wines that
match well with foods and they are
very fine values at less than $20.00.
The Gouguenheim Winery is
our most reliable Argentine pro-
ducer each year. Winemaker Patricio
Gouguenheims grapes come from
the best growing sub-region of Men-
doza. The winery produces a wide
range of wines with Malbec leading
the way. Their basic level red wines
spend four months in oak before bot-
tling. They are mellow in style with
smooth texture and straight forward
varietal scents and flavors. Their best
white wine is their Torrontes which
is drier than most. The Reserve level
reds are from their best vineyard sites
and spend 8 months in barrel. Pricesrange from $9.99 to $12.99 and they
represent exceptional value.
I chose a Port House established
in 1638 as this reports final Reliable
Producer; Kopke Porto. Kopke
makes a range of very fine Ports in
every Port style. Their basic Tawny,
Ruby and Dry White Ports are far
above average. Their mid-range
Reserve Tawny and Ruby over de-
liver for their prices. Their 10, 20, 30
and 40 Year Old Tawnies are spe-
cial.
Kopke is the best producers of
Single Year Tawny Ports called Col-
heitas. These wines stay in barrel
and are bottled upon ordering with
years available going back to the 40s.
Kopkes Vintage Ports are small in
production and get rave reviews.
Kopke Ports start at around $20.00
retail for full bottles and there are
half bottles available of most items.
Sturbridge-based Importer and Distrib-
utor Peter Sagansky runs Charles River
Wine Company. His wines are featured atThe Winebuyers Outlet and at finer stores
and restaurants throughout MA.
If you think about it, the last
conservative presidential candidatewas George McGovern. Yeah, he
was the darling of the left, but his
Come home America slogan was
a true conservative maxim. Under
a conservative foreign policy the
only reason to go to war is for de-
fense of hearth and home.
Foreign policy seems to be on a
bizarre autopilot. We want to see
an entity destroyed that executes
Americans who voluntarily involve
themselves in dangerous places. Of
course, after more than a decade of
useless endeavors, we dont want to
commit troops.
There is little reflection in Amer-
ican public life on that idea. No one
is asking the question, why are we
there and what would be the resultif we brought all the troops and
planes and ships home?
Howie and Ann are not getting
it. The attitude of if only the GOP
were running State is not sane. Thesole cavil most of the Elephant
Party leadership has with Obama is
that he is not doing more, and
faster.
Now to really balance it out, we
on Long hill have to go after the
American left wing as well. Other
than Glenn Greenwald and Amy
Goodman and a few others, they
seem to forget how horrible things
were under Bush now that their
man is in the Oval Office.
The contortions to excuse cur-
rent policy are exquisite. Still,
please have some decency and take
off those peace sign earrings and
scrape the Coexist bumper sticker
off the Prius.

his duties at WRKO Radio in Boston.
