Norwood Art Association Demonstrations in September For the month of September, The Norwood Art Association (NAA) will hold their monthly Artist Demonstration on a special evening, MONDAY, September 10, 6:30 p.m., in the Simoni Room, of the Norwood Morrill Memorial Library. This is a change from their 3rd Thursday of the month meeting, for this month only. These demonstrations are FREE and the public are welcome and encouraged to attend! Light refreshments are served and there is a raffle of a piece of art donated by the attending artist. The NAA’s featured demo artist will be Rob Franco. Mr. Franco lives in Natick and his passion for art began at an early age when he would visit a neighborhood artist in Newport, RI, which led to his training as an illustrator in the US Air Force and continued in his life as a graphic artist in the Boston Area. Mr. Franco’s fascination with the ocean and other bodies of water continues to inspire his work as he searches for subjects to paint in New England and Eastern Shore Coastlines, such as the Wild Assateague Ponies, birds and sea creatures. For additional information on demos, general questions, or to become a member of the Norwood Art Association, please email norwoodartassociation@gmail.com and visit them on Facebook.
WE September 2018 Norwood Local Town Pages www.localtownpages.com Page 9 The First Time By R. Christopher Cook Do you remember last fall, when a certain few NFL players were aggravating and upsetting us all? They were refusing to stand for our National Anthem. Some of them actually taking a knee to demonstrate their distaste for our country. Some kind of a demonstration to say black lives matter. These prima donnas, with their multimillion dollar contracts to play a professional sport, thought they were teaching us a lesson: when they couldn’t play a game without a playbook and plenty of practice. Well, usually I refrain from writing any kind of political commentary; however this makes me want to speak up. I know as well as most Americans do that black lives matter, so do white lives and red lives and brown and yellow ones too; if you believe in Martians and Leprechauns, then green lives matter too. They all matter. This is a very small planet and we all have to learn to get along. If these men actually had any point at all they sure chose the wrong forum to put it forward. What were they thinking? Did you ever wonder about the first time? The first time they played our National Anthem before a sporting event. I wondered how this tradition began. After doing a little research, here is what I learned. It started one hundred years ago in a place called Fenway Park in Boston. The event was the fourth game of the 1918 World Series, between the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs. Now it is true a few days earlier, when the first three games of the series were played in Chicago, they played the National Anthem during the seventh inning stretch, but Boston one upped them by moving the song to the pre game activities, and it’s been like that ever since. The Red Sox won the series 4-2 but it was the last time they would in that century. Some other interesting facts about the 1918 fall classic were that Woodrow Wilson was president at the time and World War I was raging. The government had started drafting major leaguers to go to war and had ordered baseball owners to end the regular season by Labor Day, so it was the only time in history that the entire World Series was played in September. Fred Thomas, who played third base for the Red Sox, was already in the US Navy, but since his commanding officer was not only a baseball fan but a true fanatic, he allowed Fred to go on furlough so he could play in the games. Perhaps it was Fred’s reaction to hearing the first few notes of the “Star-Spangled Banner” that really excited the crowd. Upon hearing the tune he immediately turned to face the flag, stood at attention and snapped a military salute. His example brought the roaring crowds to their feet and thunderous applause. It was the last time Babe Ruth wore a Red Sox uniform in a post season game. And of course, his performance was not only outstanding and memorable, but another one for the record books. He pitched sixteen consecutive scoreless innings, another remarkable feat from a remarkable man. Perhaps the most interesting and funny part of the story is that baseball and the American public knew years before the Government that the “Star- Spangled Banner” was our National Anthem. It was thirteen years later in 1931 that Congress finally declared it so. Maybe that is why we call Baseball America’s Game.
