LITTLE DID THEY KNOW ... THE SPACE ALIENS HAD A COVERT OPERATION OF THEIR OWN! ONTARIO ROSE
Original Story and Screenplay by
RICHARD CHRISTOPHER BURRIESCI and VICTORIA JANYIA DILLARD
"At the age of 16, Ontario is driving his dream car - a two tone peach and black Edsel Citation - 1958 vintage. The signature horse collar grille is reminiscent of his mother's home in a galaxy so far away. This insignia was affixed to the galactic uniform his father wore many times warping through the abyss of space - a father he would only know through stories his mother told him."

"MR. PRESIDENT, WE STAND WITH THEE!"
THE LINCOLN STUDIO PRESENTS A HISTORICALLY ENTERTAINING MINI-SCREENPLAY WHERE PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH GETS COUNSEL FROM HIS DAD AND THE GHOSTS OF TEN BIPARTISAN PRESIDENTS IN THESE TRYING TIMES.
Narrator BARBARA LYNCH does the voice of First Lady Laura Bush
Actor ED LYNCH does the voices of Presidents George W. Bush, Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, Ronald W. Reagan and George H. W. Bush (Dad to W)
Screenwriter RICHARD C. BURRIESCI does the voices of Presidents: Abraham Lincoln (main ghost),
George Washington, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy
FYI re: THE HISTORICAL TRIVIA IN THIS MINI-SCREENPLAY
1) The trials and tribulations each president expresses in this presidential round-table are historically accurate. Some dialogue is actual quotations of the presidents.
2) Robert Todd Lincoln, the eldest son of Abraham Lincoln told many, including Carl Sandburg, that his father had a high-pitched voice and at times, an annoying shrill when excited.
3) A prevalent ideal among 19th Century American history makers was Manifest Destiny. Lincoln embraced this philosophy and it was often a factor in making some major decisions. He had no ties to any religious denomination but he left no doubt that he had a strong faith in a One Supreme God and the wisdom of the Holy Bible. He was personally against slavery and had he not been president, another fifty years into the 20th Century may have passed before its abolishment.
4) George Washington was asked by his peers to be a king of the American nation. Kingship was first offered to the bonnie prince Charles of Scotland who was the Grand Master of Free Masonry. Our first president thrice refused taking a throne.
5) It was not until the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt April 19, 1945, elected four terms of office, that Congress passed the 22nd Amendment (1951) which limited a person over 34 years of age to a maximum of two four-year terms.
6) The debut of President Kennedy in this vignette refers to the Cuban Missiles Crisis in October 1962 where the United States of America and the Union of the Soviet Socialists Republic were on the verge of an all-out nuclear war.
7) Although both John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson have space centers named in honor for their commitment to space exploration, it was actually Richard M. Nixon who was the President on July 20, 1969 when Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin first set foot on the Moon. President Nixon reduced the voting age from 21 o 18, he restored a relationship with Red China and ended the Viet Nam War.
8) Richard Milhous Nixon announced his resignation on August 8, 1974. However, it did not take effect until noon the next day. He could have legally changed his mind because he was not yet impeached although imminent.
9) The Fourth Watch in Roman times when Jesus Christ rose from the dead is dutifully recorded in the Acta Pilati the scroll written by Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar giving a detailed account of the trial, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
10) The Author and Actors want to convey that both the Republican and Democratic parties brought this nation into wars and both parties negotiated its peace throughout its 230-year history. All presidents become the custodian to all people of this nation.


I AM MONICA TERRANGELA
WHO INSPIRES CREATIVE MINDS
My name is Latin for the Counselor Earth Angel
THE TITLE OF THIS VIGNETTE IS NOT WHAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS SAYING TO GEORGE W. BUSH. IT IS THE EMPATHY EACH OF THE FORMER PRESIDENTS SHARE WITH THE CURRENT COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IN BEARING HIS CROSS. THIS IS A ROUND TABLE WHERE EACH OF THE GHOSTS REMIND PRESIDENT BUSH WHAT THEIR CROSS WAS. THE PRESIDENCY IS A SACRED CLUB SWORN TO SERVE ALL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE REGARDLESS, OF RACE, PARTY OR CREED.
The Screenwriters Choice Cast:
A recipe for a great movie is choosing the right cast in addition to a fantastic story line. The personas of our choice thespians in the silver screen of imagination were so vivid we sent thank you letters to the actors and actresses responsible for making our lines flow.
CHARLTON HESTON (1923-2008) as Valimar Rex de Antares was also our inspiration for “ONTARIO ROSE”. I thought it was imperative to pick LEONARD NIMOY as Chief Morning Star, RICARDO MONTALBAN (1920-2009) as his twin brother Evening Star and BURT REYNOLDS as Cow Face the wise cracking youngest of the Navajo brothers. Of course, to make it complete and guarantee a huge cult audience we chose WILLIAM SHATNER as the Captain, and DAWN WELLS as his twin sister, Celeste Montgomery (the name Scott Montgomery is a tribute to “Scottie” and Star Trek fans). Victoria was adamant about ALISON ARNGRIM portraying the snippy but lovable Ginny Rose and paired her with CRISPIN GLOVER as Ontario Rose. MADELEINE STOWE was my choice for the main character Victoria Rose instead. PETER FALK was my choice for the sarcastic elderly Greyhound ticket agent. An actress from Richmond, Virginia I personally know, SHARON BOGNAR would be ideal for the role as Sylvia Rinaldo, the Day Dream Diner waitress. There was no hesitation for me about SUSAN LUCCI portraying Dr. Linda Ronzoni Burton even though neither Victoria nor I watch soap operas. We differed on a major character being Colonel Marshall Alan Cain. I had JASON ALEXANDER in mind and Victoria thought JOHN De LANCIE was a better choice. We’d have a lot of fun picking among thousands of Elvis Presley impersonators. MORGAN FREEMAN was my choice for Arnold Heinz. The Executive Producer(s) and the Director ultimately chooses their cast pending contracts and wages of those involved – better known as the “bottom line” is whom moviegoers will remember. But for the curious and trivia mania populous – we give you our screenwriters’ choice cast recipe. THE ABOVE IS AN EXCERT FROM THE SCREENWRITERS: RICHARD CHRISTOPHER BURRIESCI AND VICTORIA JANYIA DILLARD PRESENT THE ONTARIO ROSE SCREENPLAY SOIREE COOKBOOK THAT FEATURED RECIPES OF THE MENU MENTIONED IN THEIR STORY – ONTARIO ROSE

Eleven turtles reside, guard and protect the premises of The Lincoln Studio in historic Church Hill at 2220 Jefferson Avenue. They are: TUBA a female tortoise, in residence since November 2001, BASSOON a male terrapin, in residence since May 2003, OBOE a female terrapin, in residence since June 2004 and VIOLA a female slider, in residence since May 2008. They are all vegetarians and they love Italian pasta with sauce especially Tuba. They have the run of the house and operate on very low maintenance. They park themselves like 1952 Hudson cars against the buttress of walls and under the heater. They do their duty when they soak in water (how nice). Rich built an indoor garden with plate-size ponds for them to frolic in. They are by nature NOT gregarious but they are blessed and know that they are in a sanctuary. An excursion to Yogaville in Buckingham County, VA on Saturday, May 9, 2009 proved to be a goldmine! Six additional terrapins (boxturtles) were rescued from a damp busy country road and brought home to join their cousins above. They are: TROMBONE, CELLO and RIGATONI, all male terrapins. RAVIOLI, PASTINA both female terrapins and a baby turtle named YOGI (after Yogaville). For the record, Cello immediately took to Oboe (who obviously made better music than Bassoon) and by their actions we should expect more babies to join Yogi sometime next year. At Dewey's cabin on Friday, May 15, 2009 a female terrapin blocked his private roadway. I picked her up and christened her ZUCCHINI to become TLS's eleventh turtle.


A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO MS. CLARISSE T. HARTON WHO SUBMITTED THESE PICTURES ENTITLED:
LOVE HAPPENS







Here's the heart-warming story of the day: "The hippopotamus, nicknamed Owen and weighing about 300 kilograms (650 pounds), was swept down Sabaki River into the Indian Ocean, then forced back to shore when tsunami waves struck the Kenyan coast on December 26, before wildlife rangers rescued him." It is incredible. A-less-than-a-year-old hippo has adopted a male tortoise, about a century old, and the tortoise seems to be very happy with being a 'mother'," ecologist Paula Kahumbu, who is in charge of Lafarge Park , told AFP. After it was swept away and lost its mother, the hippo was traumatized. It had to look for something to be a surrogate mother. Fortunately , it landed on the tortoise and established a strong bond. They swim, eat and sleep together," the ecologist added. "The hippo follows the tortoise exactly the way it followed its mother. somebody approaches the tortoise, the hippo becomes aggressive, as if protecting its biological mother," Kahumbu added. The hippo is a young baby, he was left at a very tender age and by nature, hippos are social animals that like to stay with their mothers for four years."

more about abraham lincoln as he turns 200 years old February 12, 2009
Physical description of the16th President of the United States Abraham Lincoln, his height, weight, facial hair and beard and mole
His Person: "If any personal description of me is thought desirable," wrote Lincoln in 1860, "it may be said I am, in height, 6'4", nearly; lean in flesh, weighing on an average 180 lbs.; dark complexion, with coarse black hair and gray eyes." It might be added that his nose was prominent and slightly askew, his heavy eyebrows overhung deep eye-caverns in which his eyes--sometimes dreamy, sometimes penetrating--were set. His cheekbones were high, his mouth wide, his lips thick. On the right cheek a solitary mole stood out. His skin was wrinkled and dry, giving him a leathery, weather-beaten look. He had projecting--some said flapping--ears. His remarkable face never failed to make a powerful impression. As a London Times correspondent observed: "It would not be possible for the most indifferent observer to pass him in the street without notice." According to contemporaries, photographs were totally incapable of capturing the animation and power in his face. Because of the primitive techniques of the time, Lincoln was forced to pose rigidly before the camera, which gave him an awkward, ungainly appearance. Physically, Lincoln remained until the end of his life a remarkably strong man--even at 50, he was powerful enough to lift a long-handled axe with one hand and hold it straight out in front of him at the level of his shoulders. A young man who was hired to give Lincoln a bath and rubdown before his debate with Douglas in Galesburg, Ill., described the 49-year-old senatorial candidate as "the most powerful man I ever saw." Clean-shaven until his 51st year, Lincoln began to grow a beard shortly after his election to the Presidency at the suggestion of an 11-year-old girl who told him that with whiskers he would "look a great deal better for your face is so thin." Lincoln never used alcohol or tobacco, and though fond of telling lengthy anecdotes featuring barnyard humor, he always avoided profanity; during Lincoln's Presidency the strongest expletive used in the White House was "By Jingo!" Despite movie and TV portrayals that offer us a Lincoln with a resonant bass voice, the actual historical Lincoln spoke in a piercing, high-pitched tenor; his shrill voice carried for many hundred yards and was considered perfect for the open-air stump-speaking of the day.

Ms. Lois Lindstrom says, "What an excellent choice for the July Spotlight Showcase: Spec Campen! He is so intelligent, interesting and involved in the life of Richmond. I was given his name by a good friend who resides in both Middleburg,VA and Ft. Lauderdale, FL. When I told her I was moving to Richmond from Pompano Beach, she said, "You must connect with Spec..he is the Renaissance Man of Richmond. He knows everyone and is very active!" And, she was absolutely correct. Spec's counsel and wisdom and friendship have meant a lot to me. I'm so glad to be included on many of his networking e-mails. May Spec live long and prosper!"
Mr. Keith Van Allen says, "Spec Camden to me is "Mr. Information" as well as the personification of the spirit of the VPA. His emails and posts are a continual source of delight and stimulation to me during a days work on the computer.While slogging through long searches and junk mail, there's Spec to pick me up. He's his own network of neat stuff!

LET'S TAKE THE POISON OUT OF OUR THOUGHT
a commentary by our editor-in-chief, Richard C. Burriesci
TOGETHER WE CAN ... TOGETHER WE WILL! We can take the poisonous salt out of the ocean to make an ample supply of drinkable water and irrigate our most arid places. God did give us an abundance of natural resources to feed His creation and He is most willing to postpone Armeggadon indefinitley if we become inspired stewards of our home planet. We can tame desolate lands into fertile valleys. We can harness solar energy and the vast resources hidden miles deep on our oceans floors. This can not be a corporate quest! It must become the mission of one single human being that transforms into e pluribus unum. Together we can accomplish this great task which is ultimately, our survival, by respecting our diversities in peaceful coexistence. We must be willing to undertake this awesome responsibility to replenish what we deplete. For every tree we chop down we should plant two in its place. God intended atomic power to be mankind's helpmate not doom his fate. Every process begins with a thought that will culminate in manifestation. Our collective thoughts have already begun to produce positive results. Let's keep the poison out of our thought. THIS IS NOT AN ERROR using the singular "THOUGHT" rather than "thoughts" because I am referring to the UNIVERSAL DNA that eminates from GOD! ... that pure unbridled energy that is in the air we breathe. I am saying negative dispositions and negative energies contaminate this force or in other words ... "poisons" and pollutes that creative and productive aura that nourishes us.

We're a lot of NOSTALGIA ...
and a bit of Bohemian!
We're into HISTORY and those who love the FINE ARTS
