Gil Fagundo is credited with bringing to the city a Portuguese dish known as the bitoque — what we know as the Portuguese steak a thin cut of beef pan-fried in wine and garlic Sousa and Victor Fagundo honed their craft alongside him in the kitchen at St cooking likely thousands of steaks for Portuguese and American families alike By 1991, the Portuguese steak was being made by every Portuguese restaurant in town, the key ingredient in the city’s culinary appeal When Gil Fagundo died that year, his son Victor and Sousa went into business as partners, buying the former Duke’s Tavern on County Street.

They own and operate Mesa 21 across town the menu full of Portuguese classics like the kind cooked up by their father — bifanas Portuguese steak — with a more modern sensibility In recent months, Sousa and Fagundo have attempted to sell O Gil's and retire the two put up their County Street building the price has been reduced to $749,000 but remains on the market The restaurant continues to welcome customers pending a sale but has closed for the week for bereavement Sousa leaves behind five grandchildren; seven brothers and sisters in Canada the Azores and England; and an extensive extended family His family has scheduled visitation for Friday at the Silva-Faria Funeral Home His funeral will be held on Saturday at 8 a.m. with a Mass to be celebrated across the street at St There are currently no upcoming/recent events Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here Azores and was the son of the late Maria daConceicao (Pacheco) deSousa and Jose F He immigrated to the United States in 1961 with his family and settled in New Bedford.  He had an interest in collecting small items such as coins He was a dedicated parishioner of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church of New Bedford He spent many years working for JJ Medeiros Landscaping with his nephew and his brother-in-law He also worked at Cidade’s Service Station in New Bedford for 20 years wife of his twin brother the late Fernando Sousa great-great nieces and great-great nephews his sister Cidaliza Maria and his twin brother Fernando His Mass with cremains present will be Monday at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church at 10;00 A.M.

to view is for subscribers only invites locals and visitors alike to add their “wishes” for the new year to the brightly lit star structure on the plaza at 140 Broadway.   We caught up with Nancy Hou and Josh de Sousa ahead of the launch of “Star Light Star Bright.” Condensed and edited for clarity Nancy Hou: We really liked the idea [of a wishing tree] because it would engage the public and get everybody in the neighborhood involved Especially during this time of the year when it’s so cold and dark outside We wanted to create something bright that attracted people Josh de Sousa: We wanted the pavilion itself to also be as interactive as possible which may be object-like and you’re looking at it from the outside we wanted to create a set of spaces for people to be able to explore as well in addition to all of the interactive components of altering the appearance by attaching wish ribbons onto it But [there’s] also the mental interaction of thinking of something to put on there NH: I think we went from the idea of the wishing tree and it sort of became more of a wishing “star”… some of it was for practical reasons as well — structurally having something broader that made a perimeter made more sense — but also it created the opportunity to make some spaces on the interior of the pavilion and the undulating walls create different pockets of space along it rather than a tree which would also be difficult because we can’t anchor into the ground in the plaza That was a practical strategy that also turned out to be a little different and more interesting JDS: We liked that there could be a kind of semi-privacy if people are spending time reading through multiple wishes that they wouldn’t feel like they’re exposed JDS: There’s a direct engagement from the public and the public is actually actively doing something to the installation that makes it change over time So it will be exciting for us to track the progress of how the installation transforms over the period of a few months It’ll be this kind of dynamic growing thing a bit like a Chia Pet or some kind of plant or something or a fuzzy creature that’s growing its winter coat.  But also all the projects — although they have some similarities to them — they’re very different from each other With “Ziggy,” you’re interacting by creating frames and seating for people to engage with it that way versus “Geo” was more mazelike and a meandering place to get lost in and kids would really love playing tag inside of it but that was like the thing it lent itself to It’s encouraging looking at examples that you see of wishing trees in other countries and cultures It does seem to be a thing that self-propagates the more it encourages people to interact with it Hopefully New Yorkers are similar in that way NH: We’re using materials we haven’t used before “What can we use for people to write wishes on?” first “How do they get attached?” We came up with the glowing wristbands because they were one of the few things that actually made sense that were waterproof and you could write on We also wanted to choose a material that had a lot of color choices because we wanted to create a vibrant presence in the daytime when the piece is not glowing compared to previous installations “Geo” and “Ziggy,” which used paracord.  We’re planning to recycle all the plastic chains [and ribbons] after the use There’s a lot of people living there So the opportunity to build something that a lot of people see and interact with is amazing You feel really lucky to do stuff like that The cityscape is quintessential New York and it looks good JDS: We hope the project brings some joy to folks That’s our goal with any of these projects We realize it’s not a hospital or a school or something…but I

nonprofit leader Felipe Sousa-Lazaballet, who filed for the House District 42 race last week “I have dedicated my time in the Florida House to fighting for the people of District 42 and I am confident that Felipe Sousa-Lazaballet will continue that same commitment and dedication,” Eskamani said “Felipe has been on the frontlines of advocacy for years and I know he is the right person to continue our work in Tallahassee knowing he will be a bold and effective leader for our community.” Sousa-Lazaballet, Executive Director of the Hope CommUnity Center said he felt “deeply honored” to have Eskamani’s support and I am ready to continue that fight — from our neighborhoods to Tallahassee,” he said “This campaign is about ensuring that the challenges everyday Floridians face — rising grocery prices and the opportunity for everyone to thrive — remain front and center you deserve a representative who will fight for you every single day.” Sousa-Lazaballet has been an advocate in the

Eskamani cannot run again because of term limits, and announced in December she will run for Orlando Mayor Eskamani first won a seat in the House in 2018 by flipping a district previously held by Republicans But her district now leans heavily Democratic She won re-election with nearly 59% of the vote over Republican Gregory Pull in November and nearly 57% of voters in the district supported Democrat Kamala Harris for President over Republican Donald Trump These political endorsements are about as interesting as Japanese ‘Noh’ theater: thoroughly predictable and thoroughly boring While immigration is peppering the news of late it’s been near and dear to Marcelle De Sousa Alves’ heart since she arrived with her mother on the Island from Minas Gerais I knew right away that I wanted to go to school and learn English But it was a challenge I wanted to overcome.” and set her mind on something else at a tender age: “I wanted to be a lawyer from about 6 years old and always thought it would be a career I wanted.” Her interest soon segued into immigration law since we didn’t know what it was.” Alves tracked down an immigration attorney in Boston through the internet and traveled there with her mother for an initial consultation “DACA [Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals] didn’t exist yet when I met her what do I need to do to get a driver’s license when I’m 16?’ I knew all my friends were going to get one She said there wasn’t anything she could do for me and checking in to see if anything had changed.” When President Obama signed the executive order for DACA in 2012 DACA is everything you were asking for.’ When I went in to see her I wanted to find a way to go to college and pursue the American Dream.” Alves was among the first to submit a DACA application “The lawyer changed my life completely with that phone call and I realized I wanted to have that [impact] with people like me Alves finally found an immigration lawyer on the Vineyard “I went to lunch with her and told Rebecca I would work for free as an intern,” Alves recalls McCarthy immediately took Alves under her wing and research the law: “I was learning about the process of immigration — the routes (and lack of them) it takes to become a citizen I wanted to help the Island Brazilian community as a whole.” worked with McCarthy as her mentor when she attended the University of Arizona She earned her bachelor’s degree in political science The latter came about after she took an elective course on the African Diaspora: “My professor had lived in Brazil and she talked about the overlap of the African Diaspora with Brazil and Afro-Brazilian history I was constantly asked if I was Black or Brazilian I was fighting people who did not understand that there are all different races within Brazil.” Alves continues “I’m also close to my grandfather in Brazil He has African roots that he’s made me very proud of But he didn’t have a lot of answers to my questions for my wanting to understand how my physical traits were different from those around me I kept taking the classes and digging deeper into Afro-Brazilian history ‘Why are you so dark if you are Brazilian?’ I was able to give them the history.” Alves is currently completing her legal studies through Purdue University’s Concord Law School to intern with Ayuda in its immigration law department Ayuda is a nonprofit immigrant resource center that provides legal Alves is enjoying learning about the nonprofit world hoping to open her own comprehensive immigrant clinic on the Vineyard “It would be one place that would register you for health insurance One thing that is very much overlooked beyond culture shock is the trauma some people go through to get to the U.S Unpacking that and beginning to heal from the moment you arrive is so important [I have heard] from many people I have spoken to they wished they had taken care of those wounds from the start.” Having worked in numerous law offices before Alves finds things very different given the new administration They need to be safe because of the ICE [U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement] raids.” “I appreciate that the Brazilian community trusts me I’m making sure I’m informed about whether ICE is on the Island I’ve become a point of contact for many people in the Brazilian community Doom scrolling is not good at all for anybody.’ but also people who want to help them.” Alves emphasizes beautiful stories of the immigrants coming to the U.S Don’t let the gloomy shadow steer you away from why we came The MV Times comment policy requires

installations and large-scale sculptures that invite visitors to experience their surroundings in new ways Often employing vibrant color and glowing lighting effects to be enjoyed day or night pieces like “Bubble” and “Star Light Star Bright” invite passersby to wander through and around undulating surfaces Many of the firm’s ideas revolve around the idea of the pavilion—an inviting outdoor meeting place for the community “Star Light Star Bright,” for example, was installed earlier this year on Broadway in New York City, “inspired by the cross-cultural tradition of wish trees (inviting) visitors to tie ribbons representing their hopes and desires,” Hou and de Sousa say in a statement the pavilion evolved as it donned “a fluffy fluorescent winter coat,” highlighting interconnectedness and the universality of hope Hou de Sousa also recently installed a piece called “Tulips,” which reimagine lamp posts as giant flowers blossoming toward the sky If you’re in the Sarasota, Florida,
