Sirigos TNH Staff Writer WASHINGTON, DC – Vice Pres- ident Joe Biden, along with White House Chief of Staff De- nis McDonough, led a team of administration officials who in- vited community leaders to dis- cuss the Greek crisis and what the United States, working with Greek-Americans, could do to help a valued and vital ally. When high-level officials in the U.S. government and Greek- Americans gather to address major matters of mutual con- cern, expectations are raised high; both groups are used to overcoming challenges and achieving success. While there was not any major substantive accomplishment, both sides agreed that this precedent es- tablished an important first step and a commitment to continued discussions. Approximately 20 Greek- Americans, including prominent individuals and representatives of major organizations, were joined by ten key Obama Ad- ministration officials.

White House Meeting on Greece Deemed “A Good Start” By Steve Frangos TNH Staff Writer CHICAGO- Eugenios Mihail An- doniadis was one of the most famous of all planetary as- tronomers. Yet few Greeks any- where in the world could readily identify this man. This is espe- cially curious since E.M. Anto- niadi (as he was later known) is the most renowned question of mapmaker of Mars in human history. It was not until the 1975 Viking orbiter images that An- toniadi’s maps became a part of history rather than regularly consulted geographic guides. Such was the level of Anto- niadi’s overall work that he is attributed with finally resolving the most sensational and per- plexing question ever to be raised by Mankind; the exis- tence of the Martian canals. On March 1, 1870, Antoniadi was born in the Tatavla quarter of Constantinople the son of Michel Antoniadi and Photini Andoniadi: a Renowned Astronomer Continued on page 7 ATHENS – It took six months of wrangling over reforms and more austerity but in the end Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said the proposal for a third bailout of 85 billion euros ($94.44 billion) he sent to Par- liament was necessary to save the country from collapse. Ironically, it was almost the same word-for-word that two former Premiers, then-PASOK Socialist leader George Papan- dreou and then-New Democracy Conservative leader Antonis Samaras had said after they too initially rejected big pay cuts, tax hikes, slashed pensions, pri- vatizations and worker firings demanded by the Troika of the European Union-International Monetary Fund-European Cen- tral Bank. The lenders put up two bailouts of 240 billion euros ($266.66 billion) beginning in 2010 to keep the Greek econ- omy from going under after be- ing driven into the ground by four decades of wild overspend- ing and runaway patronage by alternating – and then joined – administrations of PASOK and New Democracy. But Tsipras’ Radical Left SYRIZA party swept to power in snap elections on Jan. 25 on the back of promises not to negoti- ate with the Troika and to roll back austerity. After having the ECB squeeze off liquidity to Greek banks, Tsipras ordered them closed and imposed capi- tal controls, setting the stage for his surrender. Giving in, he asked Parlia- ment – where a quarter of his party’s 149 lawmakers had twice voted against reforms and austerity proposals – to back him as Greece needs to make a 3.2-billion euro ($3.56 billion) payment to the ECB on Aug. 20 or face default. “The hard truth is this one- say street for Greece was im- posed on us. The policies im- posed on us were irrational. We faced a tough and punitive po- sition,” he said when he realized he had no options left but to do as ordered. ““I am fully assuming my re- sponsibilities, for mistakes and for oversights, and for the re- sponsibility of signing a text that I do not believe in, but that I am obliged to implement,” was the explanation he gave for cav- ing in.

By Constantine S. Sirigos TNH Staff Writer NEW YORK – At the start of the first campaigns of nonpoliticians like Madeline Singas, there is al- ways some concern whether their message of excellence and experience will register with voters. Deep into a summer of campaigning to be District At- torney of Nassau County, the en- thusiasm of the people she meets and her fundraising totals signal that her message is in- deed resonating. The position opened up when incumbent Kathleen Rice resigned after being elected to Congress last November and he prospects received a big boost when Governor Andrew Cuomo appointed her Acting DA. Rice hired the Fordham Law graduate who grew up in Asto- ria from the Queens DA’s office in 2006 to lead a new special victim’s bureau for women. Singas’ resume is stellar, but campaigns get traction through name-recognition, and most of all fundraising. “In the last few months my name recognition has gone up tremendously and we’ve raised a lot of money.” The latter was a big chal- lenge in the beginning “every- one knew I was a very creden- tialed and well qualified candidate, but they didn’t know if I could be a political candidate and run a race.” She has em- brace the new role and is thriv- ing, she is still driven by the work itself, not the prize. “Nassau is one of the safest large counties in the country and we work hard to make sure that will continue,” she said. POLITICS IS A TEAM SPORT It was a spectacular start, but in the long run – in politics, as in all great endeavors – it’s all about the team. “When I de- cided to do it I said I wanted a top notch team because I was in this race to win it,” Singas told TNH. There were no doubts in those who knew of her char- acter, personality and track record, but hard work was needed beyond those people. Singas approached the cam- paign the same way she ap- proaches her cases and all the work she does: “I have to be well prepared to bring out the best in the people around me so that we can win.” Her campaign manager, Isaac Goldberg, knows Nassau politics very well. “He’s one of the best in the business,” she said. Tucker Green, who leads her Singas’ Nassau DA Bid Fundraiser By Penelope Karageorge NEW YORK – Looking at Alexandra Mitsotakis, you might mistake her for a high-fashion model. Instead, the daughter of former Greek Prime Minister Constantine Mitsotakis heads Action Aid, a charitable organi- zation that she founded to pro- vide food and water for children in third-world countries. Fluent in four languages, she also directs the Greek Cultural Institute in Paris, where she lives. As the mother of four grown children ranging from 19 to 32, she takes family seriously. She grew up in one that is both brilliant and accomplished, as well as being close-knit. Her sis- ter, Dora Bakoyannis, was Athens’ first woman mayor, and Minister of Foreign Affairs. Her brother Kyriakos, an economist, is a up and coming politician in the New Democracy Party. But it is her late mother, Marika, who took center stage in an exclusive interview Alexandra gave to The National Herald on a recent trip to New York. A culinary legend, Marika could sway a politico’s votes with, for instance, her lemon- scented pot roast. The book, Recipes of Love, just published in the United States was “authored” by her mother in the sense that Marika originated all the recipes, and the initial half of the book tells the story of her life and ongoing love affair with husband Con- stantine. She never started a day without having coffee with her husband, and sent him off on every trip – large or small – with a sandwich from home. Said Alexandra: “My mother was first of all in love with my father. He came first.” We met in the lobby of the hotel, where Alexandra was staying. The Sophia-Loren lookalike oozed down-to-earth charm as she uncapped a Coke Zero and admitted: “I’m not a cook. What I really enjoy cook- ing is pasta and salads. Those are the things I do very easily. Somehow I was destroyed. I just had to go home and there was all this wonderful Greek cooking on the table.” She recalled the genesis of the book: “It was my mother’s birthday. She turned 80 that day, and we had planned a party, but she went into the hospital. It was very sad. I thought: what gift can I make for her? She’s in the hospital. She’s 80. What can I really do? And suddenly I had this idea for the book. We al- ways thought she should write a book of her recipes, but clearly for her generation cooking is not something you make a book of. Cooking – you do it, you live it, and you eat it! “I called my sister Katerina, Alexandra Mitsotakis on Her Mother’s Recipes By Angelike Contis Special to The National Herald VLAHOKERASIA, GREECE – Vlahokerasia, population 424, will soon have something most Greek villages can only dream of: its own digital museum. Over the course of four years, a volunteer committee spearheaded by re- tired Sociology/Anthropology Professor Nikos Petropoulos, has prepared a collection of images, moving pictures, and documents to share with the world, digitally. If you’ve ever traveled be- tween Tripoli and Sparta, in Greece’s Peloponnese, chances are you’ve seen the sign for Vla- hokerasia. “To horio,” or the vil- lage, as its fondly called by its sons and daughters, is in many ways a typical Arcadian village, with its much-diminished, aging population, stone homes cen- tered around a grand church square, café culture, nearby olive groves, and a few lingering goat herds. To those who hail from the village (including this au- thor’s father), each visit there is also colored by family tales of brutal WWII occupation and Civil War, painful immigration separa- tion and the disappearing tradi- tions of a centuries-old agricul- tural life. The concept of a museum to capture and share Vlahokerasia’s uniqueness has been around for a while. Vlahokerasia Digital Mu- seum Committee Coordinator Petropoulos notes that the idea dates back to 1991, when a group from Vlahokerasia had an actual – not virtual – folk mu- seum in mind. They wanted to draw attention to the village with “a museum that would contribute in a minor way to a revitalization of the village by making it a cen- ter of attraction for educational One Arcadian Village Has Gone Digital Kos Becomes Key EU Entry Point for Migrants Migrants on a dinghy arrives at the southeastern island of Kos, Greece, after crossing from Turkey, Thursday, Aug. 13.

    SOUTHAMPTON, NY – TheNicholas S. Zoullas HellenicCenter of the Kimisis Church ofthe Hamptons is the scene offine cultural events throughoutthe year. On August 8, retiredfour-star Admiral JamesStavridis, Dean of the FletcherSchool of Law and Diplomacypresented a lecture titled “21stCentury Security Challengesand Opportunities.”

    As was expected of a manwho brings the unique and pow-erful perspective of his tenureas Supreme Allied Commanderat NATO, the guests heard a fas-cinating presentation – spicedby Stavridis’ trademark humor– on topics like ISIS, the massivemigrations from Africa and theMiddle East to Europe, cyberrisk, China, and the situation inUkraine.

    He was the first admiral toserve as the Supreme AlliedCommander of NATO, but it wasnot in the Navy that he gainedthe necessary insight for thechallenging position, but at theFletcher School of Law andDiplomacy where Stavridis nowserves as Dean.

    Stavridis writes in the pref-ace of his recent book, The Ac-cidental Admiral, that as a grad-uate student – he ultimatelyearned a PhD. – “I first learnedto appreciate the key interplayof politics, economics, finance,business, culture, language, andsecurity.”

    But the roots of his of hischaracter and intellect are in hisHellenic heritage, which be-comes quickly obvious to his lis-teners.

    “In the name of freedom andin the spirit of Themistocles ofAthens,“ – the man who builtthe Athenian fleet that defeatedPersia and saved western civi-lization – “I am honored to behere.”

    After saying how pleased hewas to see so many friends inattendance, he expressed hisgratitude to Fr. Alexander Kar-loutsos, Protopresbyter of theEcumenical Patriarchate, Pres-bytera Xanthi Karloutsos, andthe parish for the invitation,

    HIGH-STAKES GEOPOLI-TICS

    Stavridis said he does notlike to present only the dark sideof what is happening in theworld. The second halves of histalks focus on opportunities, andon what is going well.

    He began by making clearwhat the stakes are for nationalsecurity officials when securitystrategies fail: WWI and WWIIwere responsible for perhaps100 million deaths.

    The lesson learned fromthose failures, he said, is that“we tried to create security bybuilding walls, but in the 21stcentury we must build bridgesto create security” – better waysof understanding, connecting,influencing and persuading andworking with other nations.

    A shattering – literally - per-sonal experience brought thathome.

    On September 11, 2001hewas sitting in his office in thePentagon, presumably the safestplace he could be. “But I literallyhad a front row seat as the air-plane hit, and I’m here with youtoday because the airplane’s pi-lot broke slightly to the left.”

    “As I came out of that burn-ing building,” he thought of the

    irony of the moment. “I’mguarded by five massive con-crete walls, protected by thestrongest military on Earth…ofthe richest country on theplanet. Was I safe? No.”

    That is when he began tothink about the security valueof building bridges.

    One of the keys is appreciat-ing what his former professor,Joseph Nye Joseph Nye of Har-vard, calls America’s soft power,and finding the right balancewith its more obvious hardpower – its economic and mili-tary strength.

    Nye writes that “when onecountry gets other countries towant what it wants-might becalled co-optive or soft powerin contrast with the hard orcommand power of orderingothers to do what it wants.”

    One of Stavridis’ mentors,former U.S. Secretary of De-fense Robert Gates, calls for en-hancing American soft power by"a dramatic increase in spendingon the civilian instruments ofnational security – diplomacy,strategic communications, for-eign assistance, civic action andeconomic reconstruction anddevelopment.”

    Stavridis noted the power ofsocial networking, and the vastpotential from connecting with

    50 percent of the human popu-lation, the women who in manycountries are still marginalized.

    He said the most underesti-mated aspect of security is lis-tening, and that promoting sec-ond language learning inAmerica will increase our secu-rity and economic strength.

    ISIS, with its massivefundraising power – founded onactivities like drug and humantrafficking and recruiting effec-tiveness, was discussed atlength.

    It was chilling to hear thatits flag is the most downloadedimage on the internet.

    Regarding the Iran agree-ment he said “I am hoping itmay be successful but I am ex-tremely skeptical as it exists to-day.”

    The Admiral warned of theperils of both appeasingVladimir Putin and stumblingback into a Cold War, but hesaid it is cyber-attacks that dis-turb the sleep of national secu-rity officials these days.

    Financial markets can bethrown into turmoil but, mostfrighteningly, the world’s powergrids can be attacked by diabol-ical hackers. Delays in repairingmassive physical damage wouldalso destabilize economies.

    “Cyber-attacks cross all as-

    pects of our lives,” he said.PATH TO GREATNESS Annoyed both by “declinism”

    and “triumphalism” he said “ourmilitary is still the envy of theworld,” but noted it is time tocreate a Cyber Force, whichwould benefit, like America’sgeneral economic strength, fromeducation investments in STEM.

    He emphasized that theUnited States is the greatest na-tion on earth and its presidentstill commands enormous re-spect. When the presidentspeaks to the leaders of theworld, Stavridis said, “he or she”has their complete attention.

    The fact that everyone wantsto come to America means im-migration helps us avoid the de-mographic crises of other devel-oped nations.

    It is huge that the UnitedStates, if fracking be conductedwithout harming the environ-ment, will make America energyindependent.

    He noted the continued im-portance NATO and our Pacificalliances, but declared we mustfurther cultivate our relation-ship with India, which will soonbecome the world’s most popu-lous nation, not just the largestdemocracy.

    Turning to the homeland, hesaid all America’s challenges canbe met and the opportunities ex-ploited, but he asked “What’sour problem here in the United

    States? Political gridlock.” He said “Our parties can’t

    seem to build bridges, ourbranches of government havedifficulty cooperating, we arenot good at finding rationalcompromises.” One side effectof citizens’ frustration with gov-ernment’s failures is its exten-sion to international relations,and the idea “that the interna-tional world is too difficult.”

    That fuels isolationist feel-ings about withdrawing fromthe world.

    “That would be a terriblemistake,” Stavridis said from alifetime of experience on the

    front lines of history.All the guests, who enjoyed

    receptions before and after thetalk, were impressed and some,perhaps bemoaning the currentcrop of presidential candidates,expressed hope Stavridis wouldgo into politics.

    The question evoked a burstof applause and the response:“I’m happy to be Dean of theFletcher School – elected officeis not for me.”

    Father ConstantineLazarakis, who welcomed theguests, asked Dr. Peter Michalis,former Parish Council Presidentto introduce Stavridis, who waslater presented with a strikingsculpted icon created by PaulMaus, former PC President andChairman of the Building Com-mittee.

    fundraising team, has workedwith some of big politicalnames, and Jeff Pollock createsand conducts her polls andhelps frame her issues. He isalso well-respected.

    John Del Cecato will be cre-ating the all-important TV com-mercials.

    GREEKS COMING THROUGH

    To put together a top teamlike that, early money was im-portant, and Greek-Americanscame through for her in a bigway.

    “When we first started toraise money I specifically wentto the Greek community first. Itold people I needed to demon-strate that I can be a viable can-didate and the way to do that isto raise money, so people knowthey can take me seriously,” andthey came through for her.

    Observers were also im-pressed the team was put to-gether rapidly and gelledquickly. “It enabled me to de-clare my presence on the scenein a big way and the Greek com-munity was a critical part ofthat,” she reiterated, and notedthat she was then able to reachout to other donors and groups.

    Her initial report filing of$400,000 in January was an eyeopener and Singas has so farraised more than $1million – aremarkable number for a firsttime candidate in a district at-torney’s race.

    Her Republican opponent,Kate Murray has raised$300,000 and brought over$350,000 from her previouscampaign.

    “I outraised her 3-1 and sheis a politician who is well-en-trenched and well-known…ithas given our campaign a lotmomentum and people are veryexcited about this race.

    too.”August is a relatively slow

    month but she will go to a lotoff community events, a lot ofparades, church visits, walkingthe boardwalk at Long Beach –“anything I can do to get myname out there, to get peopleto see me, to talk to people.”

    Around Labor Day they shiftinto high gear, and the followingtwo months will pass veryquickly thought Election Day onNovember 3.

    ALL IN THE FAMILY“I bring the kids with me a

    lot because I think of this as afamily affair – we’re all in it to-gether. My daughter was at the

    campaign office yesterday andshe helped as much as she can.

    The 12-year-old twins Demeand Billy, love sports and musicrespectively – the latter is alsoathletic – and while so far nei-ther has been bitten by the po-litical bug, they don’t resent giv-ing over some of their summervacation time, “because I’vemade them a part of it, to theextent that I can – I’ve alwaysdone that. As a working momyou incorporate your kids’ pres-ence wherever you can becauseyou want to spend the time withthem.”

    “I wanted to be with them,but I want them to experienceit; it’s something that’s really dif-ferent… it’s opened up theirworld a little bit,” – and it’s fun.

    Her husband, Theo Apos-tolou, plays mainly a supportiverole and his affable presence onthe campaign is appreciated bythe people who enjoy talking tohim.

    “He's my biggest cheerleader.Once you get him started hedoesn’t stop talking about meand my accomplishments,” shesaid, adding that he has sent outfundraising emails that havebeen well-received.

    “He is a very smart man andhas helped out in our campaigndecisions, too.”

    The July fundraising filing isthe campaign’s most recentmilestone and the next impor-tant date is the Democratic Pri-mary on September 10 – whichis a Thursday – when she facesMichael Scotto, formerly withthe Manhattan DA’s office.

    After that, they hope theywill be focusing on a debate thatmost likely will place in October. SIMPLE, CLEAR MESSAGEShe told TNH things have

    gone smoothly and as expected,“The messaging in pretty simpleand it hasn’t changed: It’s achoice between a career politi-cian and a career prosecutor.That’s defined this race fivemonths ago and will continueto define it…the message makessense and people intuitively un-derstand that they want some-one in the top law-enforcementposition who knows the positionand is trained to do the job.”

    Among the media programsshe has appeared on is JohnCatsimatidis’ Roundtable on970/AM radio, where she saidMurray "doesn't know her wayaround" a criminal courtroom,”and that she has "not practicedlaw in over 15 years, and shehas never, ever been a prosecu-tor."

    TORONTO, CANADA – TheTaste of the Danforth is an an-nual tradition among Toronto’sGreeks. Approximately 1.6 mil-lion people gather for three daysin August along Danforth Av-enue in the city’s GreekTownsection of food, music, andbreaking world’s records. To thelatter event, records shatteredin years past included theWorld’s largest Zorba dancegroup, the world’s largest yogurtbowl, and other such Greek-re-lated feats.

    These records are not merelyspeculative: the Danforth eventswere measured against previousrecords (the Zorba dance in Vo-los, the yogurt bowl in SouthAfrica).

    Contest winners win prizessuch as a trip to Greece, and theproceeds from the contest entryfees go to charity. As the Festivalsponsor, the Danforth BusinessImprovement Association (BIA)states, “the Festival combinesexquisite food, culture and mu-sic with extraordinary philan-thropy to benefit the local com-munity. What most people don’trealize is that the profits fromthe Festival are donated back tothe community by the Greek-Town on the Danforth BIA.

    Over the years, GreekTown

    has donated more than $2 mil-lion to Toronto East GeneralHospital. In 2012, GreekTowncommitted to a further$500,000 to enhance pediatriccare. This year, GreekTownmade a commitment to a jointhospital project between SickKids and a children’s hospital inGreece – Agia Sofia.”

    The main sponsor is KrinosFoods, whose home base is inNew York, but which has opera-tions in other North American

    cities, including Toronto.One record The Taste has

    held for years is being thelargest street festival in Canada,easily drawing over 1.5 millionper year, when 22 years ago itbegan with about 5000 people.

    On its Facebook page, theTaste gave “a huge thank you toeveryone who made it anothergreat success! A special thankyou to Krinos Foods Canada, theGreektown on the Danforth BIA

    President of the Board Constan-tine Voidonicolas, our sponsors,business members and volun-teers who make the festival pos-sible year after year! A specialshout out also goes to TorontoPolice Service for ensuring thefestival's safety year in and yearout!

    SARASOTA, FL – Khaleej Timesreported this week that Sharjahis all set to host the internation-ally acclaimed musical geniusYANNI CHRYSSOMALIS (popu-larly known simply by his firstname) on Nov. 6 at the Al MajazAmphitheatre in the heart ofKhalid Lagoon.

    Then, in early 2016, Yanniembarks on a monthlong tour ofthe American South, particularlyin the Florida cities of Sarasota(Feb. 2), Jacksonville (Feb 3),Clearwater (Feb. 5), West PalmBeach (Feb. 6), Naples (Feb. 8),Tallahassee (Feb. 9), Orlando(Feb. 13), and Melbourne (Feb.14).

    Yanni is a Greek-born Ameri-can composer and keyboardistwho was a leading figure in late20th-century new age music, acharacteristically nonarousinggenre of popular music, often en-tirely instrumental and used forrelaxation or in the cultural, artis-tic and tourism spheres in Shar-jah inspire the eagerly-awaitedconcert at a time when the ArabLeague is celebrating the Emirateas the Capital of Arab Tourismfor 2015, says the Khaleej Times.“To mark the crowning of Sharjahas the Arab Tourism Capital, AlMajaz Amphitheatre is lookingforward to hosting a wide arrayof art and cultural events andpopular international musicalperformances and concerts overthe next few months in order toshine the light on Sharjah's grow-

    ing presence on the global art andcultural map.”

    BEL AIR, CA – Greek-Ameri-can actress JENNIFER ANISTONhas wed again, this time to actorand long-time beau JUSTIN TH-EROUX, reported the Master Her-ald. “The couple exchanged vowsin front of more than 75 surprisedguests, as most of them had noidea they were in for a nuptialaffair. According to US Weekly,guests were told that the eventwas for Justin’s birthday party.The Tropic Thunder screenwriterturns 44 on August 10 which co-incidentally is also the date of thecouple’s engagement anniversary,says the Master Herald. TMZ also

    reported “that a huge shed wasbuilt over the past week to con-ceal what was really going on atthe couple’s mansion and that noone was allowed to park near thearea. Judging by the amount ofsecrecy going on, the outlet hada hint that something was upwhen they spotted a wedding-themed cake and two puppet car-icatures earlier that day, they alsospotted an actual pastor with abible in hand walking into thehouse.” Master Herald also re-ported that Jennifer’s parentsweren’t in attendance despite thebride’s reconciliation with hermom last year after a long-stand-ing rift. Just like Rachel and Mon-ica in their hit TV comedy series

    FRIENDS, the actress’ longtimefriend and co-star COURTENEYCOX served as maid of honorwhile Justin’s good pal and tattooartist Scott Campbell served asbest man. “The best part aboutJen and Justin’s marriage washow they remained clandestineabout it. For three years sincetheir engagement, the coupleseemed happier with their long-term fiancé label and what betterway to seal the deal when almosteveryone thought the pair was inno rush for marriage.”

    COTTONWOOD, AZ – Thereis a Greek restaurant in Cotton-wood, AZ that not only has a dis-tinctive name, but also engagesin a distinctive – and educational– activity. ANCIENT PILLARS, afitting name for a Greek restau-rant, stands out a bit more thanthe traditional “Olympic” “Acrop-olis” “Santorini” “Aegean” andother words typically found on aHellenic establishment’s awning.What also renders Ancient Pillarsto be unordinary is the Greek his-tory trivia questions it posts onits website (Facebook page), “An-cient Pillars Greek Restaurant.”For instance: “Which sea sepa-rates Greece from Turkey andcontains the island of Crete?” and“On which Greek island wasPRINCE PHILIP born?” Thismonthlong contest (which re-cently ended but which featureda good deal of online traffic), re-wards the winner with a VIP card,all the while spreading knowl-edge about Greek history.

    New Age star Yanni heads for the sands of the United ArabEmirates (the Arab world’s tourism capital) in November andthen to the sands of Florida’s two coasts in February.

  • COMMUNITYTHE NATIONAL HERALD, AUGUST 15-21, 2015 5

    By Constantine S. SirigosTNH Staff Writer

    WASHINGTON, DC – Impor-tant endeavors have a stream ofcauses, and the White Housemeeting between top adminis-tration officials and communityleaders on August 6 is no excep-tion.

    While the details of the dis-cussion were off the record, TheNational Herald obtained theperspectives of a number of par-ticipants.

    All noted it was a beginning,not an end – more meetings areexpected – and there signs animportant new chapter wasopened both in the community’srelations with Washington andin the way the community con-ducts its business.

    After the phrase “first step,”the words spoken most fre-quently were “follow up.”

    Asked about the next steps,Fr. Alex Karloutsos told TNH“that is open to the Administra-tion. They perceive this to be along-term relationship becausethey want to stand besideGreece as it goes through its dif-ficulties.”

    A senior Obama Administra-tion official said the meetingwas about “how we can worktogether to help the governmentand people of Greece emergefrom the current crisis,” andeveryone TNH spoke to wasquite inspirited by Vice Presi-dent Joe Biden.

    Real Estate Magnate GeorgeMarcus told TNH, “I was as veryimpressed with the administra-tion, They are on top of it, theyknow all the details, they arecommunicating on all sides anddoing everything they can tohelp Greece, and the Greek-Americans were very knowl-edgeable and engaged, whowould love the chance to showyoung Greeks.”

    Asked if anyone suggestedgetting Greek Prime MinisterAlexis Tsipras to call for a“tough love” summit of commu-nity business leaders so he couldhear from them what they needto see before investing in

    Greece, Marcus said, “It was notdiscussed exactly in those terms,but people like (former Califor-nia State Treasurer Phil) An-gelides and I think MichaelDukakis have had hour-longtelephone conversations withTsipras,” already.

    He said his contribution tothe discussion was to say, “Thismeeting is all well and good …but the only way this is goingto work is if we have a workinggroup of three or four Greek-American leaders and a workinggroup of administration peopleand we meet monthly or evenweekly and we get things pro-gressing in Greece and the EU.”

    He said he will email someof the participants and urgethem to form a three-persongroup to meet on a biweekly ba-sis “to see what we can do andcommunicate to the Diaspora onwhat they can do.”

    When there’s an agreementbetween the administration andthe coordinating group of theDiaspora, they can delegate dif-ferent things to different people… I am sure they are all willingto help – as long as there issome realistic movement on theGreek restructuring.” Anothercommon refrain.

    Former Ambassador EleniTsakopoulos Kounalakis said the

    White House has been engagedand concerned from the begin-ning but the timing of the meet-ing was important because“things seem to be hitting thecritical point now.”

    The deal Greece is currentlynegotiating with the Troika re-mains onerous and not focusedenough on economic stimulus,Kounalakis said, adding, “It’sclear … there is going to haveto be some way to make thatagreement sustainable … thatwill be in the form of debt re-structuring.”

    Marcus, a fellow Californian,told TNH that while everyoneknows the deal is flawed, “TheGreeks must show they are se-rious about putting their housein order.”

    Kounalakis also made an ap-peal to the people who were notin the room but whose effortsare also crucial.

    “As the crisis deepens, sodoes the need for people to getoff the sidelines and get in-volved and help on the human-itarian side and help identifyU.S. government programsavailable to stimulate the Greekeconomy and provide humani-tarian aid," she said.

    She said Greek-Americanscan help by exploring invest-ment opportunities and donat-

    ing to effective humanitarian or-ganizations.

    She noted there are State De-partment programs for sendingout experts to train young en-trepreneurs, and to show civilservants how to be more respon-sive to citizens’ needs.

    John Galanis, AHEPA’sSupreme President, was unableto attend, but lent the organi-zation’s full support, sendingAndrew Kaffes to represent him.

    “AHEPA sincerely appreciatesthe high level of engagement byUnited States government offi-cials to address the crisis inGreece and its outreach to Capi-tol Hill and the community onthe crisis,” said Kaffes, who of-fered policy suggestions thatcould possibly assist withtourism and humanitarian aid.

    “The discussion itself wasstraightforward, insightful, andsubstantive, and I was encour-aged to learn about certain issueareas the administration is look-ing to address, particularly mi-gration,” Kaffes said.

    Angelides said, “The meetingwas very productive…it lastedmore than two hours and therewere high-level people, so it wasvery clear that the recovery andstability of Greece alliance arevery important to this adminis-tration and all of us are grateful

    for the efforts of the Presidenton behalf of Greece.

    “The purpose of the meetingwas to talk about how we canwork together to assist Greeceon the road to economic recov-ery ... an important first step –not an end – a beginning of aprocess and we committed our-selves regularize our communi-cations,” with the White Houseand among the Greek-Ameri-cans.

    “It will be an ongoing dia-logue and process,” he said, “amutual commitment that wewould find a practical way towork together rather than justhave one meeting and to movefrom discussion to concreteprogress.”

    Angelides said with urgency,“We have to sort out in the nextfew days” who would be thesmall group interfacing with thegovernment’s working group.

    Hotelier and developerGeorge Tsunis, who is also a topDemocrat fundraiser, said that,

    “Clearly the administrationwas seeking input from the Di-aspora on what assistance theU.S. could give Greece to helpthem carry out economic re-forms and help with the eco-nomic stability of Greece, in-cluding efforts to encouragemore private investment in

    Greece … we must go forwardnow and identify five people tobe a steering committee.”

    Angelides summed up theparticipants’ feelings when hesaid, “The fact the Vice Presi-dent of the United States, andthe President’s Chief of Staff,with all they have on their plate… carved out the time for anextensive conversation showsthe administration caresdeeply,” is impressive.

    “Greece matters to theUnited States, and not just on ageopolitical basis but on a his-torical basis – it’s a reminderthat it’s a very special relation-ship,” and then emphasized:“It’s time to get our act togetherand begin to develop plans andthen engage in ways that areproductive for Greece and itseconomy.”

    Imagination goes a long way,and the Diaspora’s top businessperson thrive on innovation. “Ayear ago the State Departmentasked me to go to help Greekbusiness people,” Marcus toldTNH about an event he at-tended. “It was really remark-able . I spoke to 25 differentpeople in different industries.”

    Marcus is one of many com-munity leaders who would loveto show young Greeks how cap-italism is supposed to work.

    something like thattogether...we're going to be fol-lowing up."

    Attorney Nicholas Karambe-las, representing the AmericanHellenic Institute (AHI), wasasked if there were suggestionsabout forming working groupsand perhaps a coordinatingcommittee. "I hope that's whatthey do, but there was no dis-cussion about that in the meet-ing...someone's going to takethe ball,” he replied.

    Karambelas, who is an inter-national trade expert, broughtup items such as the need for abilateral investment treaty be-tween Greece and the UnitedStates. "We don’t have one,” hesaid, and added that the taxtreaty is obsolete. He noted,however, that is just a small partof what can be done if there is acomprehensive effort."

    Participants like industrialistDennis Mehiel said the meetingwas constructive. Andy Man-atos, Founder and President ofthe Coordinated Effort of Hel-lenes, summarized how im-pressed the participants werewith the vice president. "With-out exception, never has a therebeen a vice president with onetenth the knowledge of the de-tails and subtleties of issues likethis for Greece [as Joe Biden].”

    Participants said it felt as ifBiden was "one of us," as hetried to help them plot a coursefor how Greek-Americans canhelp Greece.

    Biden expressed optimismthat the implementation of re-forms will yield great new ben-efits for Greece.

    Congressman John Sarbanesand National Security CouncilSenior Director for European Af-fairs, Charles Kupchan,prompted by Biden, suggestedthe establishment of an intera-gency government workinggroup with the involvement ofmembers of the community,whose substantial intellectualand financial resources could beutilized.

    The Administration officialsnoted they have been speakingwith the Overseas Private In-vestment Corporation (OPIC)about promising investments inGreece.

    All agreed the endeavors willtake time, but that the meetingwas a very good start.

    A senior Administration offi-cial, in communication withTNH, said "Vice President JoeBiden and Chief of Staff DenisMcDonough met with leaders ofthe Greek-American communityat the White House on how wecan work together to help thegovernment and people ofGreece emerge from the currentcrisis. National Security Councilofficials also participated. In the

    meeting, the Vice President andMr. McDonough reaffirmed theUnited States' strong commit-ment to the people of Greece,emphasized the important eco-nomic and geopolitical interestsat stake, and thanked attendeesfor their support and leadership.They also underscored U.S. sup-port for a path forward for

    Greece that allows a return togrowth within the Eurozone,which is in the best interests ofGreece, Europe, the UnitedStates and the global economy.”

    TNH was informed that theWhite House initiative has al-ready stimulated discussions forgreater focus and coordinationamong community leaders.

    Mike Manatos summed upthe spirit of the gathering: “Aswas made clear from the open-ing remarks of White HouseChief of Staff Denis McDo-nough, the U.S. government iseager to work with us to createconcrete economic results inGreece. This was not just an ex-change of ideas, but the begin-ning of a new effort to go fromthe theoretical to the very con-crete."

    Hellenic American Leader-ship Council (HALC) ExecutiveDirector Endy Zemenides, saidit was beyond constructive. Hewas very impressed with the"high level of U.S. attention.”

    The participants also in-cluded: George Marcus, Art Ag-nos, Phil Angelides, Exec, Direc-tor of The Hellenic InitiativeMark Arey, Alexi Giannoulias,Fr. Alex Karloutsos representingArchbishop Demetrios, GeorgeTsunis, Dr. Anthony Limberakis,Mo Owens, representing Georgeand Nick Logothetis, AngeloTsakopoulos, Eleni Tsakopoulos-Kounalakis, and Andrew Kaffes,representing AHEPA.

    Greek-American community,pedagogy, culture, and, ofcourse, Greek Orthodoxy.

    Ten years ago (October,2005), the Sts. Constantine andHelen community celebrated Fr.Byron’s 45 years there with amoving ceremony. At that point,as TNH reported, he had per-formed many thousands ofsacraments, including havingpresided over 1891 weddingceremonies, 3737 baptisms, and1914 funerals. He had alsomade, to that point, over 65,000visits to hospitals, retirementcommunities, and prisons.

    The parish, founded in 1909,is one of the oldest in the UnitedStates, and Fr. Byron played akey role in keeping it united,strengthening it, and leading theschool to new heights, all cul-minating in a deserving celebra-tion in 2009 of its first century.

    Strongly supporting himthroughout his accomplish-ments were his Presbytera Xan-thippe, and his children andgrandchildren, all of whommade him proud. His son Aris-totle is co-Founder of and a Se-nior Fellow at Fordham Univer-sity’s Orthodox Christian StudiesCenter, where he is the Arch-bishop Demetrios Professor inOrthodox Theology and Culture.

    Father Alexander Karloutsos,who began his career at Sts.Constantine and Helen, ex-pressed to TNH his sorrow forthe loss of his friend and men-tor.

  • Alexiou. Antoniadi so quicklydeveloped an interest in astron-omy that by his late teens hewas already systematicallysearching the night skies with a3-inch (76-mm) refracting tele-scope. First in Constantinopleand later on the beaches of theisland of Prinkipo, the youngGreek began to compile detaileddrawings of the planets andother objects he observed. An-toniadi’s exceptional talent as adraftsman was immediately rec-ognized as he submitted hisdrawings to the Societe As-tronomique de France and theBritish Astronomical Associa-tion.

    In 1893, the young Greekwas invited by (Nicholas)Camille Flammarion (1842-1925), to work at his private ob-servatory at Juvisy-sur-Orge,near Paris. Flammarion was oneof the world’s leading as-tronomers as well as the funder,in 1887, of the French Astro-nomical Society. Antoniadi pub-lished regularly in this society’sofficial bulletin L’astronomie.While Antoniadi was to earn areputation as a brilliant observerit is in his role as a publishingscholar upon which his interna-tional fame was to rest. Asidefrom French the young Greekwas fluent in English and regu-larly wrote for the Journal ofthe British Astronomical Associ-ation. Once in France Antoniadidevoted the rest of his life to thetelescopic observation of plane-tary surfaces.

    Clearly Antoniadi was a well-respected colleague who wasread and listened to closely. Buthe was not initially a leadingfigure at the very center of thefield of cutting edge astronomi-cal debate. All that would comewith the international contro-versy over life on Mars.

    Giovanni Virginio Schiapar-elli (1835-1910), an Italian as-tronomer was the director of theMilan observatory from 1862until, 1900, when he retired.Schiaparelli was the first to ob-serve the asteroid Hesperia

    (1861) and is credited withidentifying the orbits of numer-ous comets and shooting stars.Such was Schiaparelli’s workthat he was awarded the presti-gious Lalande Prize of theFrench Academie des Sciencesin 1868. Today, Schiaparelli ismost known for his observationsand writings on the planet Mars.

    Schiaparelli was not the firstastronomer to draw maps ofMars but he was the first to notespecific geographic featuressuch as mountain ranges, seas,islands, capes, straits and so on.More importantly Schiaparelliwas the first to systematicallyassign specific names to thesegeographic forms on his pub-lished maps. It was the transla-tion of the word canali, whichin Italian can mean either“channels” or “canals” thatcaused an international sensa-tion.

    Percival Lowell (1855-1916),a wealthy businessman and in-tellectual, who founded and be-came the director of the LowellAstronomical Observatory inFlagstaff, Arizona, immediately,responded to the implications ofcanals on Mars. In 1906, Lowellpublished Mars and Its Canalsarguing that for these massivecanals to exist some intelligencemust be at work on the planetsurface (New York: Macmillan).

    A charismatic individual and dy-namic public speaker PercivalLowell soon had the world sci-entific community and theworld press abuzz with his the-ories.

    Antoniadi made his observa-tions from the Grand Lunette atMeudon to study Mars’s plane-tary oppositions between 1924and 1941. While much of Anto-niadi’ public life and work isdocumented his private life re-mains largely unknown. Curi-ously Antoniadi never officiallybelonged to the observatorystaff. He referred to himself sim-ply as the “astronome volontariea l’Obervatoire de Meudon” An-toniadi was a man who couldeasily have secured a positionin astromony literally anywherein the world. But he did notseem to have needed such em-ployment. On June 9, 1902, An-toniadi married Katherine Sev-astupulo, who is said to havebelonged to one of the leadingfamilies in Paris’s Greek com-munity. Curiously history doesnot now record how Antoniadimade his living, assuming thathe needed to do.

    It is perhaps difficult for themodern Reader to fully compre-hend the degree of public re-sponse and interest in PercivalLowell’s assertion of the intelli-gent life on Mars. What would

    otherwise have been dry acade-mic articles read and argued byonly a small circle of personsbecame the stuff of bannerheadlines in newspapers aroundthe world. The scientific debateon the true surface of Mars be-came one of the very first inter-national sensations of modernhistory.

    At first, while at the Juvisy-sur-Orge observatory, Antoniadiwas a supporter of Lowell’swork. Yet, Antoniadi’s own on-going investigations and thepublications of his colleaguescaused him some considerablereflection. As William Sheehanhas noted in, The Planet Mars:A History of Observation andDiscovery, Antoniadi’s: “confi-dence in the whole network hadbeen badly shaken by the “dis-covery” by Lowell and his assis-tants of what Antoniadi referredto as “subjective” linear mark-ings on Mercury, Venus, and theJovian satellites. Whereas in1898 Antoniadi had stated that“despite the skepticism of sev-eral eminent authorities, I donot hesitate to say that the fa-mous canals of Mars have a trueobjective existence,” by 1902 hecharacterized his position as“agnostic” (Tucson: Universityof Arizona Press, 1996).”

    Such was Antoniadi’s profes-sional accomplishments that no

    less a figure than Henri Deslan-dres (1853-1948) the directorof the Meudon Observatoryplaced the Grand Lunette, then,as now the largest refractor tele-scope in Europe (and the thirdlargest in the world) fully at theGreek’s disposal. This led to arevelation. As Antoniadi’s wroteof his observations of Martiandeserts using the Grand Lunette,“[T]he soil of the planet thenappeared covered with a vastnumber of dark knots and che-quered fields, diversified withthe faintest imaginable duskyareas, and marbled with irregu-lar, undulating filaments, therepresentations of which wasevidently beyond the powers ofany artist. There was nothinggeometrical in all this, nothingartificial, the whole appearancehaving something overwhelm-ing natural about it.”

    The ever-meticulous Anto-niadi soon realized that variousoptical effects were at play.Some involved the diffraction oflight by the Earth’s atmospherethat gave the illusion of spotson his telescope lens. Other’shad to do with the eye’s linkingof many tiny surface details intoapparently meaningful patterns.In time Antoniadi took the un-wavering position that, “Nobodyhas ever seen a genuine canalon Mars.” He rightly concluded

    that the “completely illusorycanals” seen on Mars were, infact, irregular features on thatplanet’s surface. The entry onAntoniadi in the InternationalEncyclopedia of Astronomyflatly concludes, “he settled thecontroversy about the canals onMars (Patrick Moore, editor,New York: Orion Books, 1987).”

    In 1930, Antoniadi pub-lished, La planete Mars, 1659-1929 (Paris: Hedrmann et Cie),which has been translated intoEnglish by Patrick Moore as ThePlanet Mars (Sheldon Devon,U.K.: Keith Reid, 1975). Muchhas been written about Anto-niadi. For those interested inlearning more about Antoniadi’scareer they can consult RichardJ. McKim’s, 1993, two part arti-cle, "The Life and Times of E.M.Antoniadi, 1870-1944. Part I:An Astronomer in the Making"(Journal of the British Astro-nomical Association 103: 164–170. Bibcode:1993JBAA..103..164M and Bib-code: 1993JBAA..103..219M). Aserviceable overview that hasextended passages on Anto-niadi’s career can be found inthe William Sheehan book al-ready mentioned.

    Antoniadi has experiencedlasting fame within the scientificcommunity in yet another man-ner. No less than three geo-graphic sites on two planets andone moon are named after him.On our Moon there is the Anto-niadi Crater, on Mercury thereis the Antoniadi Dorsum, andon Mars there is the 381 km An-toniadi Crater, so named in1973. This means that quite lit-erally in our solar system moregeographic locations are namedafter Eugenios Mihail Ando-niadis than any other singleGreek in history. In like mannerModern Greek history will neverbe complete until figures suchas Antoniadi, an internationallyrecognized astronomer, on anequal footing with figures suchas Flammarion, Schiaparelli andLowell are factored into thewider flow of historical events.

    E.M. Antoniadi: World-Renowned Astronomer and Mapmaker of Mars

    Craters on Mars and on the Moon were named after E.M. An-toniadi, the renowned Mars mapmaker who was born to Greek

    parents in Constantinople. A ridge on the planet Mercury isalso named in his honor.

    The idea of an actual museumwas abandoned after difficultiesin locating a space, but then re-vitalized two decades later. In2010, a committee tried again,but found that the logistics ofgathering items had becometougher than ever – as many his-toric items had been discarded.The logistics and cost of main-taining a physical collection alsoremained insurmountable.

    A digital museum, on theother hand, was a much morefeasible option. So, for the pastfew years, a committee startedcollecting photos, videos and doc-uments. Petropoulos as well ascommittee members Angelos Bis-tolas, a retired elementary schoolteacher and former president ofthe village’s Athens association,Angeliki Katsafanas, Vlahokera-sia’s high school teacher, andMaria Kopitas, president of thelocal youth association, con-tributed materials from their ownsignificant personal collections.High school educator Anna Mar-t
