The History of Sant Agata:
SANT'AGATA DI MILITELLO
A Description of St Agata
Sant’Agata di Militello rises on a fruitful plain enriched with citrus-fruits growings. Turned to the
Tyrrhenian Sea, the village admires the splendid Eolie isles. The village was founded according to legend by some fishermen
of Catania who escaped a shipwrecked built the village and dedicated it to their patroness saint , Sant’Agata. In 1630
the baron Luigi Galleco made built on a height to defend the coast an imposing castle. The building, with imposing shapes
and a stern architecture, is protected by cylindrical towers in Medieval style and it includes a curtyard full of trees. On
the front there are some big windows and the entrance area surmounted by a arched structure. The castle’s curtyard,
once protected by a drawbridge, leads to different areas which were used as satbles, as stores and as servants’ rooms.
From the noble floor furnished with flats of the prince and reachable by a characteristic spiral staircase, it gets to towers
and to wide terraces. The building also includes in its wing an elegant chapel entirely supplied with classical elements.
Sant’Agata di Militello is a town in the province of Messina with a population of 13,000 inhabitants.
It enjoys a privileged position at only 30 metres from the Nebrodi’s Tyrrhenian shore and is bordered by a fertile and
rich countryside covered with olive and citrus plantations and lush woods. Further, a nearby area endowed with uncontaminated
rock formations has been recently designated a protected area. Sant’Agata di Militello grew up around the Torre della
Marina, a coastal watch-tower erected in the 13th century serving to protect the city of Militello Valdemone. In the 1500s,
it was completed with the construction of a fortification. For several centuries, the city was ruled by the members of the
Aragonese Gallego family, and, since 1820, by the Prince of Trabia. In 1857, it became administratively autonomous from the
city of Militello. It is dotted with many interesting cultural sites, most of which are scattered across the town centre.
Among these are a few noble palazzi, such as Palazzo Faraci, Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Gentile.
The Castello Gallego, largely modified throughout the centuries, is a landmark. Presently, it encloses a large
square courtyard that provides access to the ground floor housing the storehouses, the guard rooms and the stables, and to
the upper floor that accomodated the noble rooms. Another renowned attraction is the Arco di Sant’Agata or Porta di
Mare. The Chiesa Madre was built in the 19th century. Divided into three naves, it houses the Cappella del Sacramento, being
its most ancient part, adorned with baroque altars decorated with marble carvings. Stuccoes and other works of art from the
19th century ornament the interior of the church. The Museo Etnoantropologico dei Nebrodi is very interesting. It is divided
into three sections, respectively devoted to "the woman and the woman’s work", "the rural life and work" and "the traditions
and religion". In the city surroundings are spots of high naturalistic interest, such as the coastal side of the Nebrodi
Mountains, recommended for excursions, and an equally attractive countryside. Beyond S. Agata, in the Serra Quaranta
and Spartà districts, leading directly into the Park, are breath-taking spots like the Rosmarino and Inganno creeks, the Maurazzo
lake, Militello and Alcara, the Rocche del Crasto, Rocca Priola, Monte Mueli and Monte Soro, the wood of Mangalaviti, and
the Biviere Lake.

Description of Antonios birth place:
According to the most credible theory the town was a Longobard settlement founded around the years 640-641 and
named Montemalo in 737, it preserved this name until 1862. Dalmati populated this region with their king Itacaele in 928.
Only a few ruins remain of the old castle which housed the barony of the Guevara, the Spinelli, and the Coscia. The
earthquakes of 1702 and 1732 destroyed the town. The city changed its name in San Arcangelo on September 26, 1862. To distinguish
it from a town in Bailicata and another town near Forlì they added to San Arcangelo the name Trimonte.

Notes for Y OLANDA FORTUNATA CECERE:
Eulogy given by Sandy Cecere at Yolanda Fortunata Cecere Bottlofsen's Funeral Yolanda Cecere Bottlofsen was
born to Antonio Cecere and Saraphina Sarico Cecere, two Italian imigrants. She was the youngest of four children, and
when she was 14 yrs old her mother passed away. Her brothers were grown, her sister was working at the Beauty Salon, and Yolanda
was still in school. For all of you that knew Yoland, she was many things to many people, but to me, she overcame grief and
lonliness with her warmth, and kindness. She was inviting and comforting, funny and welcoming, and you never saw her without
a smile on her face. Yoland was a person who knwe how to create happy memories. The first time I remember going to my Auntie
YoYo's house was when I was four or five yrs old and my father brought me to her apartment. It was in Mpls, up some steps
and into her living room. Perhaps she wanted to make sure I had something to do while my father visitetd with her, but she
told me about a special friend that she had. He was an odd shaped friend, named BOSCO, and he sat on her couch. He became
my friend for those few hrs that we visited with her. I asked about Bosco after that, evertime I saw my Aunt. Finally,
as a teenager, my aunt confessed that Bosco was just an old pillow sitting on her couch that she made up for me, so I would
have something to entertain me. Aunti Yo knew how to make a Happy memory My Auntie Yo, had a signature recipe that she would
make for all our family gatherings, we called them honey buns or honey things. No one else could make them. They were a flower
and egg crispy bun about an inch long with honey poured all over them and powdered sugar sprinkled on top. Aunt Yo would get
requests every holiday for the honey buns. She had copied my great grandmother making this Italian treat by just watching
her. My Aunt Yolanda knew how to make happy memories. When I was a teenager, my Aunt Yolanda invited us older girls
to her house over Easter vacation to stay with her for a few days. The minute we walked into the house, she fed us. We had
the biggest banana split I have ever seen and deer sausage. Each of us getting our own (there were four or five of us there).
We had so much fun with her for those few days. We laughed and giggled, we walked to the store and bought penny candy, and
we slept in the infamous "pink bedroom". This room was all pink, the bed, the walls the lighting. The bed covered the whole
room, it was so big, and we all slept in that bed together giggling and laughing until we finally fell asleep. Aunt
Yo knew how to create happy memories Aunt Yo gave us our first dog Jocko, a French poodle that she cared for. He could do
tricks.. pray, play dead, sit up, sing, and roll over. She taught him those tricks. I am sure you know how much my Aunt loved
antiques. We used to go antiquing together to shows or garage sales, and this is one of the first antiquest I ever bought with her on my first trip going
to an antique show with her. My Aunt Yo know how to create happy memories... Finally, my aunt and I are both intersted
in family history, and because of some of the items that she gave me, I was able to find family that we didn't know about.
We never knew my grandfather's mother's last name, but on this document it shows that the familiy in Italy gave my grandfather
some land, and on this paper is my great grandfathers name Giolio and his wife's name Anna Panarese. Yolanda knew how
to make happy memories!!! Now in her death, when we go back home tonight, let's not let my Aunt Yoland's memories face, let's
make it our legacy to remember her always. Let's welcome people into our homes as she would, with a beautiful smile, and friendly,
warm, and inviting attitudes.

Mother's Maiden Name: SARICO
One of my Dad's best Friends, and when Dad was alive and practicing law, George Mikan's name was always on his
door as "Of Council"
The marquee above Madison Square Garden aptly told the George Mikan story. It used to read: "George Mikan vs.
Knicks." The first dominant big man in professional basketball and the game's first true superstar, George Mikan played with
a competitive fire and zest matched by few. During his college days at DePaul, the six-foot-ten Mikan revolutionized the game.
In fact, Mikan, along with fellow Hall of Famer Bob Kurland, swatted away so many shots that in 1944 the NCAA introduced a
rule that prohibited goaltending. Unaffected by the rule change, the determined Mikan was a three-time All-America (1944,
1945, 1946) and led the nation in scoring in 1945 and 1946. Mikan's 120 points in three games led DePaul to the 1945 NIT championship.
Mikan, who scored 1,870 points at DePaul, once tallied 53 against Rhode Island State, a remarkable feat considering he single-handedly
outscored the entire Rhode Island State team. Voted the "Greatest Player in the First Half-Century" by the Associated
Press, Mikan enjoyed an extraordinary professional career. He won his first professional championship with the Chicago American
Gears of the NBL in 1947 and captured six more pro titles (1 NBL-1948, 1 BAA-1949, and 4 NBA-1950, 1952-54). As the
cornerstone of the Minneapolis Lakers, Mikan led the NBA in scoring three times (1949-52), played in the first four NBA All-Star
Games (MVP 1953) and led the league in rebounding twice (1952, 1953). George Lawrence Mikan Jr., a star center who led
the Minneapolis Lakers to five NBA championships, died on June 1. Cause of death was not released. He was 80. Born in
Joliet, Ill., Mikan attended Joliet Catholic High School and Quigley Preparatory Seminary in Chicago, where he considered
entering the priesthood. He failed to make the basketball team at Notre Dame and decided to attend DePaul University instead.
There he met Ray Meyer, who was in his first year as DePaul's coach. Meyer worked with Mikan one-on-one for six weeks, making
him shoot left-handed and right-handed, a procedure now known as the "George Mikan drill." From 1941 to 1945, Mikan
became a three-time All-American. Twice named college player of the year, he scored 1,870 points during his four years at
DePaul, led the Blue Demons to a National Invitation Tournament title and inspired the passage of the NCAA's rule prohibiting
goaltending. Mikan played one season with the Chicago American Gears of the NBL, a predecessor of the NBA, before moving to
the new Lakers franchise in Minneapolis. At 6 feet 10 inches and 245 pounds, Mikan was considered a big man physically
and metaphorically in the NBA's early years. Although the polite, bespectacled center was known as the "gentle giant,"
he attained superstar status on the court for his sweeping hook shot and defensive prowess. In response to Mikan's size and
skill, the NBA doubled the width of the free-throw lane. During the NBA's 1948-49 season, Mikan averaged 28.3 points
per game and was named the league's Most Valuable Player. He averaged 23.1 points per game over the course of his career before
retiring from injuries in 1956. Mikan coached the Lakers for part of the 1957-58 season, worked in corporate and real estate
law, then served as the first commissioner of the American Basketball Association. Voted the "Greatest Player in the
First Half-Century" by The Associated Press, Mikan was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1959.
Four years ago, a 9-foot bronze statue of Mikan making his trademark hook shot was erected at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
Despite all the accolades, Mikan had the unfortunate luck to play professional basketball before multimilliondollar
contracts and lucrative commercial endorsements were the norm. Like other athletes who played in the NBA prior to 1965, Mikan
never made more than $35,000 a year and drew only a tiny pension. In later years, he spoke out about this issue in hopes that
the league and the players' association would improve pension benefits for "pre-65ers." Mikan suffered from diabetes
and kidney failure. His right leg was amputated below the knee in 2000, and he endured a diabetes-related wound in his left
leg. To pay his medical bills, he sold off most of his memorabilia. Upon learning the Mikan family was struggling financially,
Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal agreed to pay for Mikan's funeral costs.
Sam was the first Men's Club President at Braemer Golf Course in Edina. His best and dear friend John Kressel
and another dear friend John McCarthy donated money in his memory: Parks and other such amenities greatly improve the quality
of life in a community. The City of Edina is the fortunate recipient of many donations each year that improve its parks, adding
to the quality of life enjoyed here. Per City policy, donations of $300 or more are published annually in the City’s
newsletter, About Town, and on this website. Donating $300 or more to the Edina Park and Recreation Department in 2000
were: .John McCarthy and John Kressel, $500 to the Braemar Golf Course memorial fund in memory of Sam Cecere.

"Mirth & Mack"
Mirth & Mack two clean cut Minneapolis born lads who left their home town to make good in the big city.
After struggling a few years they became fortunate enough to appear on nuerous shows with the ever popular stuttering comedian
Roscoe Ates, who in turn was so impressed with the boys that he touted them to Rudy Vallee. Rudy Vallee auditioned the boys
and immediately signed them to a yearly contract which was newed for a total of six years during which time Mirth and
Mack were billed as the headlining act of the "Rudy Vallee Show". During their long association with Vallee, the boys had
the good fortune of having Groucho and Harpo Marx take an interest in the impersonations of them. Consequently, the impersonations
of Groucho & Harop is the real McCoy. Besides their impersonations of the Marx Brothers, as well as others, Mirth &
Mack excel in modern tap dancing and are on a par with the best. They also feature high class comedy all presented in
a clean wholesome manner. Besides their associations with Rudy Vallee, they have appeared with such notables as the
late Hal Kemp's Orchestra, Richard Himber's Orchestra, Ray McKinley's Orchestra, Henry Bussey's Orchestra, the Dorsey
Brothers and many others, too numerous to mention. Needless to say, Mirth & Mack add class to any show thatthey appear
in and are more then able to hold their own amid any competition. taken from " Entertainment Unlimited"
3 Clowns - Inky, Winky, & Blinky
3 clowns, fairly new act. Has appeared on numerous T.V. shows in the Twin Cities and have been acclaimed by
many critics as network material for clean wholesome entertainment. Their many talens include singing, dancing, magic and
comedy skits. The latter never failing to bring down the house. Their costuming leaves nothing to be desiired and characters
they create are laughs in itself. The 3 Clowns certainly do justice to any show as they please both the young and the old.
