The Venice Biennale is the art world's most prestigious exhibition. It's sometimes even called the "Olympics of Art," held annually in Italy. Right now, Pablo Delano, a Puerto Rico-born, Hartford-based artist, has an installation called “The Museum of the Old Colony” located in its central pavilion. The installation collection is comprised largely of photographs and artifacts, all of which raise questions around America's relationship with Puerto Rico, and the island's status as the world's oldest colony. The “museum” also raises questions about the politics and institution of museums. This hour, we hear from Delano. Plus, Faisal Saleh with Palestine Museum US in Woodbridge discusses their unofficial collateral exhibit in Venice, "Foreigners without a Homeland," featuring 27 artists. 1 of 4An exhibit named “Foreigners in Their Homeland,” proposed by the Palestine Museum U.S., was not included in the 60th Venice Biennale.

This April new bike safety laws went into effect; Orleans Police Chief Scott MacDonald explains how this impacts cyclists, motorists, and roadways — including the busy and dangerous Old Colony intersection.

  Connecticut and Puerto Rico have strong ties. The guest for this episode is Pablo Delano, a visual artist, photographer, and educator recognized for his use of Connecticut and Puerto Rican history in his work, including his 2020 book of photography Hartford Seen published by Wesleyan University Press, a Connecticut Book Award 2021 “Spirit of Connecticut” finalist. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, he is the Charles A. Dana Professor of Fine Arts at Trinity College in Hartford. His work has been shown in solo exhibitions in museums and galleries in the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Over the course of 20 years Delano amassed a substantial archive of artifacts related to a century of Puerto Rican history. Using this material, including three-dimensional objects, newspaper clippings, and photographs, he created The Museum of the Old Colony, a dynamic, site-specific art installation that examines the complex and fraught history of U.S. colonialism, paternalism, and exploitation in Puerto Rico. The title is a play on words, referencing both the island's political status and Old Colony, a popular local soft drink. The work is also deeply personal, a means for Delano to better understand and come to terms with the troubling history of Puerto Rico. Pablo was chosen by Connecticut Explored as a Connecticut History Game Changer Honoree in celebration of the magazine's 20th anniversary in 2022-23. Professor Delano has been featured on Grating the Nutmeg in episode 123 discussing his book of photographs Hartford Seen and in episode 152 Hartford and Puerto Rico: A Conversation between Delano and Puerto Rican historian Elena Rosario. He has an article in the Spring 2023 issue of Connecticut Explored - read here: www.ctexplored.org/game-changer-topsy-in-the-tropics/ While we might not be able to travel to see the exhibition in person, the University of Virginia Press has published a beautiful full-color catalog that includes a collection of very insightful essays edited by Laura Katzman as well as photos of the exhibition. It's available for purchase on Amazon-The Museum of the Old Colony, An Art Installation by Pablo Delano, 2023.   For more about Delano's work, go to his website at  http://museumoftheoldcolony.org/about/curatorial/ To see his photo essay on Hartford's Puerto Rican streetscapes- https://www.ctexplored.org/visually-breathtaking-hartford-explored/ Listen to his Grating the Nutmeg episodes here: https://gratingthenutmeg.libsyn.com/152-hartford-and-puerto-rico-a-conversation-with-elena-rosario-and-pablo-delano-cte-game-changer-series https://gratingthenutmeg.libsyn.com/123-connecticut-seen-the-photography-of-pablo-delano-and-jack-delano   Connecticut Explored, the nonprofit organization that publishes Connecticut Explored magazine, announced its “20 for 20: Innovation in Connecticut History,” series highlighting 20 “Game Changers” whose work is advancing the study, interpretation, and dissemination of Connecticut history.

Frank is the younger brother of John Boldt, who I had on the Podcast back in Episode 15. It took a little longer for Frank to come to faith, and John definitely had big influence on him! His story is similar to many coming from an Old Colony background, and yet it is still unique. Baptism was Frank's one hope of salvation... and fell really flat! Frank is very passionate and it's obvious that he's persuaded of the gospel!

Henry Wall (the Spanish preacher) is still just as passionate about the Lord as he was 40 years ago when he was first saved! At the age of 30 he was dying of an abused and failing liver. The Bishop of the Old Colony in Durango Mexico came to his death bed and told him that there was no hope for him! That's when God stepped in and saved him, not only from the death bed, but from eternal damnation!

Have you ever wondered about the Mennonite connection to Ukraine?  Or where the term Old Colony began? Or the place Catherine the Great plays in Mennonite history? On today's episode, Maria sits down for the last time to talk with author, Tina Siemens, about the migration to Ukraine, and how we came to settle in this land which wove its way into our history and into our hearts. To learn more about Tina and her book 'Seminole', click here.  

On this episode I talked to Andy Driscoll  one of the hosts of The Old Colony cast. The podcast is out of Plymouth Massachusetts.   They talk about anything about Plymouth in the surrounding areas and it's a great time.  Hannah brings research stories from history and from the community while they chat about it.  Its funny and engaging, you'll keep coming back for more!https://oldcolonycast.libsyn.com/Spelled it wronghttp://www.inebri-art.com/Social Linkshttps://www.tiktok.com/@pilgrimsdigresshttps://www.facebook.com/PilgrimsDigress/https://www.instagram.com/pilgrimsdigressne/https://twitter.com/PilgrimsDigresshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pilgrims-digress/id1457453182https://open.spotify.com/show/5XuUSDpcXJgq1zjzJ0YUkb https://www.podchaser.com/I am on the YouTube!

When you think of Old Colony Mennonites, what comes to mind? For many, it conjures up scenes of tranquility and peace as this group of Mennonites reject all forms of worldliness. From their horse driven carriages and lack of electricity to their humble dresses and head coverings, Old Colony Mennonites seek to live simply and quietly away from the chaos of the world. But things aren't always as they seem.... For others, the Old Colony represents a harsh, legalistic world where there is great spiritual darkness and many abuses. On today's episode, Maria Dyck is joined by Neta Friesen who works alongside her husband, Diedrich, to bring the Old Colony Mennonites an understanding of the Gospel which gives life and freedom. For more information on their ministry, you can visit their website here.    

John Boldt was born and raised in Ontario and moved out to Alberta shortly after marriage. He and John Giesbrecht have been ministering together in Southern Alberta, and on YouTube on the channel called Bible Truths. John has a really neat coming to faith story in that it was actually an Old Colony minister that helped him to finally see that you CAN KNOW that you're saved... in fact the preacher went so far as to say that you NEED to KNOW that you're going to heaven when you die! God bless as you listen to our conversation around his story and the idea of assurance of salvation!

The Museum of the Old Colony is a work of conceptual art conceived by Pablo Delano. The exhibit at the King Juan Carlos l of Spain Center at New York University, 53 Washington Square South, NYC, gathers still photographs and moving images of Puerto Rico that reveal the visual logics of colonialism. This repertoire of images and subjects form a visual history of the political and cultural hegemony imposed by the United States on virtually all aspects of Puerto Rican life.

Chuck Morse interviews Mark Fisher - Republican candidate for Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Website: http://www.markfisher2014.com/ About Mark Fisher: Mark Fisher, owner of Merchant's Fabrication in Auburn, a metal manufacturing facility, is seeking the Republican nomination for Governor in 2014. He was born in 1958 and grew up in Westfield, where he played Little League and Babe Ruth baseball in the summer and Suburban League basketball in winter then going on to play Varsity Basketball and Baseball. He graduated from Westfield High in 1976 and took a job as a Union member at Old Colony Envelope Company where he learned the value of earning a buck. He financed his education with his salary from Old Colony and graduated from Hartford State Technical College (now Capital Community College) in 1979 with an A.S. degree in nuclear engineering technology. After a year working at a nuclear power plant in Virginia he returned to Massachusetts and graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1983 with a degree in mechanical engineering. He spent the next 5 years at Raytheon, then began attending evening graduate classes at WPI, earning an M.S. in manufacturing and an M.B.A. Like many other Americans, Mark was unemployed several times in the past 20 years. He recalls that his children made more money from a lemonade stand than he did during a nine month period of unemployment. He vowed that he would keep a supply of dollar bills on-hand ready to give to people less fortunate, and he has kept that promise. His final layoff was in 2008, and on the same day that he received his notice, he found a manufacturing business for sale and purchased the business he now owns. He financed the business with liens on his house and his mother’s home and a home equity line of credit. Within just four years he was able to satisfy the loan and put money away for his children’s college fund and retirement. He is especially proud of the improvements he made to the employee benefits program, and a number of other benefits including reimbursement for deductibles and extending sick time. He is also proud of Merchant’s growth (24% in 2012). Married to his college sweetheart Margaret Mary O’Brien for the past 21 years, the couple has two children and resides in Shrewsbury where he plays in a 55-plus softball league (double header!) every Saturday. He strongly believes that the obstacles he overcame to get an education and build a business have taught him that in America, success comes with dedication and hard work. He promises to work hard to help provide the same opportunities to the hard-working people of The Commonwealth.

This podcast introduces a unique story of people who have rejected almost everything we as “moderns” assume to be true and good: ease, progress, knowledge, certainty, popularity, self-actualization and upward mobility.

Martin Hyatt and Paul Blanchette talk with Scot and Fr. Chip about Cursillo, its origins, its aims, its wonderful fruits and just what a Cursillo weekend is all about. **1st segment:** Scot welcomes Fr. Chip back to show as a substitute co-host for Fr. Matt Williams who is still traveling. The radio studio for The Good Catholic Life is dedicated to Bl. John Paul and today would have been his 91st birthday. Today is also the 50th broadcast of The Good Catholic Life. On today's show, we will discuss Cursillo. Many people of faith throughout the archdiocese that Scot admires have the common background of having lived a Cursillo, including Cardinal Seán. Fr. Chip said he's seen how the Cursillo brings people closer to Christ. **2nd segment:** Scot and Fr. Chip welcome Fr. Martin Hyatt and Paul Blanchette to The Good Catholic Life. Paul said he has been involved with Cursillo for about 20 years and that's where he met Fr. Martin on his own weekend. It takes place in Framingham and Methuen. Fr. Martin has been general spiritual director since 1994 and has been helping with Cursillo since he was ordained in 1984.  Fr. Martin said Cursillo comes from the Spanish word meaning course and it means literally "little course" or "a short course." The full name is a "short course in Christianity." It was born in Majorca, Spain, where the bishop was meeting regularly with a group of men and they were planning a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compestela. First it was delayed by the Spanish Civil War and then by the World War, and all this time the men grew tighter and tighter together. So this weekend experience took place and caught on like wildfire. It traveled to mainland Spain to Portugal to France and Italy and all over Europe. It came to the US through the US Air Force. During an exchange with the Spanish Air Force at the Air Force base in Waco, TX, the American airmen noticed their enthusiasm and made their Cursillo. The Cursillo came to Boston in 1963 and the first one at the St. Basil center in 1969. Fr. Martin said Cursillo is not a retreat. It's a method. It's how we develop a deep and intimate relationship with Jesus and how we live to serve him. The tripod of Cursillo is piety, study, and action, or holiness, formation, and evangelization. This is the foundation. Holiness begins the relationship with Christ, formation feeds the relationship, and evangelization brings it out to others. Scot said many people might have gone through religious education to learn facts about their faith. What makes Cursillo so much more powerful and different and so impactful in 4 days? Fr. Martin said the short answer is the Holy Spirit. The long answer is three full days of time and no distractions: no watches, no cellphones, nothing like that. They take off the masks: cool and macho. Instead they talk in a simple, non-threatening way about things that really matter. Like on the road to Emmaus, the disciples comment that their hearts were burning when Jesus taught them. Fr. Chip said he often saw parishioners, especially men, who would go on Cursillo would come back without the tough veneer and demeanor they left with. Fr. Martin said God breaks through if we are open and receptive. The deepest desire of our heart is our salvation. God created us to love and to be loved. So when Cursillo talks about things that really matter, it touches the hearts' deepest longing. He hears many stories on the reunions that take place one month later about people who have begun to reach out to God in their lives and that they have changed their lives in simple but profound ways. We have to tap into the Holy Spirit living within us. Because faith is something living, it must be nurtured and fed through prayer. Scot said a cursillista once told him that before Cursillo they knew a lot about Jesus, but didn't know Jesus. Paul said knowledge in the head and the journey to what you know in the heart is an amazing experience. **3rd segment:** The program begins on Day One with getting to know yourself. Paul said before his Cursillo, he hadn't really looked at himself before his weekend apart from his job and being a father and husband. Cursillo's tripod model teaches balance and he looked at himself and realized he was not in balance.  Fr. Martin said Cursillo is not a secret, but you can't describe certain things without trying them. "Taste and see the goodness of the Lord." The gift of Cursillo is the Holy Spirit and men and women sharing their personal experience of Jesus Christ. People can identify with others who are like them and then imagine how their lives can end up in a positive way. The longest 18-inches in the world is the distance from the head to the heart, and while you can know Jesus in the head, it is not the same as knowing Him in your heart. Fr. Chip asked Paul to clarify what a personal inventory means. Paul said one of the first talks on the weekend calls the person to take a look at what and where you spend your time and resources to show where your priorities and then to determine what your goals are in life. He found that he didn't know what his goals were and has since found that most people are like that. He'd found that was very me-focused, feeling that if he went to work and earned money, then he could leave the rest up to his wife and spend a lot of "me-time". On his weekend, he got rid of his masks and was able to empty himself of what he had done.  Scot asked how many people show up on the weekend not sure they really want to be there? Paul said a large percentage are like that, although there are many who have been developing a spiritual life already. Fr. Martin said each of the three days has a theme: Know Yourself, Know Christ, and Have Courage. There are talks followed by table discussion which is more sharing than discussing. It's not about right answers, but about sharing feelings and experiences. It is rooted in sacraments. All day Friday looks toward confession on Friday night.They start hearing confessions at quarter to ten at night and end at midnight. There is also the Mass and time for prayer, time with the Blessed Sacrament. There is plenty of time for self-examination. Everyone wants to be a better person and better at what they are doing in life. Fr. Martin said they have separate weekends for men and women. Part of the reason is the masks that can be worn in the presence of the opposite sex.  Paul has led Cursillo weekends since his own. He said typically the weekends at St. Basil's have 40 or 50 candidates on them. They also do them at prisons and he recently had about 40 men at Norfolk prison. Each of the people on the team, which numbers about 20, has a specific role. Fr. Martin said there have been about 13,000 people who have made Cursillos in Methuen, not counting all the others in Framingham and in the Worcester diocese and Fall River and Springfield. **4th segment:** When Paul came to make his longest journey of 18 inches on the first couple of days of his retreat. When he made his retreat 20 years ago, he'd already been married 20 years. His wife Christine was the rock of faith in his family and he said he'd put her through a lot as an independent man as she stood by him. The Jesus he sees in Christine has helped him find Christ in himself. In those days, they went through financial difficulties, even bankruptcy, but after Cursillo he was able to put the material possessions in their proper place. He was a golf nut before Cursillo, but just after his weekend, he seriously injured his shoulder in a golf cart accident and was unable to play for two years, helping him to put things in the proper order in his life. Paul said not every story from every speaker affects every candidate on the weekend. But there is always something that touches everyone that they can identify with. Fr. Chip asked if he's ever seen someone leave the weekend who wasn't affected. Paul said no two people are ever affected in the same way at the same time. Wherever you are in the moment, Jesus is with you in the moment. Fr. Chip said everyone always worry about numbers, but if someone is brought closer to Christ, whether one or 13,000, it's worth it. Fr. Martin said Jesus said to feed My sheep, not count My sheep. He said the witness talks are critical to Cursillo because they put flesh on the bones of facts about the faith. In the Gospel of John, Jesus says, "If you love Me keep My commandments." We need to know that obedience is the fruit of relationship and rules without relationship equals rebellion. Once we love Jesus, we want to please Him and serve Him. The preaching of the early Church was always "Jesus is Lord. Jesus is risen." It wasn't the 10 commandments or social justice. Those aren't unimportant, but they come after the relationship with Christ. **5th segment:** It's time to announce the winner of the weekly **WQOM Benefactor Raffle**.

This brings the team into an uncomfortable place, but he learned that the souls inside are like the souls on the outside of the walls. Fr. Martin said the St. Basil's community has been bringing Cursillo into prisons since 1989, starting at the women's correctional center in Framingham. They have run 20 at Old Colony in Bridgewater, 20 at Norfolk, 16 at Framingham, and 1 in Plymouth. There is a huge need to bring Cursillo everywhere. About 1 in 100 Americans are in prison. 1 in 38 kids have a parent in prison.  Fr. Martin said the problems of society won't be solved by more prisons, but only by bringing Jesus Christ to them. Scot said that while it's politically convenient to say we need to throw them in prison and throw away the key, these are our brothers and sisters in Christ. Fr. Martin said some of the best people he's met are behind the walls. Part of what's different is that in prison it's barebones. In Methuen, they have a beautiful snack table available from morning to night, but in prison there is no frills, yet the men and women are hungering for Jesus. It helps them to experience what Jesus meant when He said if the Son has set you free, you are free indeed. Some of the candidates will say suddenly in the middle of the weekend that they'd forgotten they were in prison. Fr. Martin tells the story of a young woman who realized that she had come to like herself for the first time. They give them the opportunity to serve each other. It's all about being a servant.  On Cursillo, the clergy and the laity work together as equals. The weekend's leader gives a talk on how a Christian leader is called to serve. If someone is interested in Cursillo, they can connect with an Ultreya, a parish community of those who have gone on Cursillo, to get an idea of making a Cursillo. They can also go to the websites listed above for more information. That will conclude today's presentation of The Good Catholic Life.
