| Saturday, 17th April 2010 "Live Out Your Faith" Pope Tells The Maltese Pope Benedict this evening urged the Maltese faithful to give witness of their faith. Speaking outside St Paul Church before thousands of people who packed the square, His Holiness said: "Live out your faith ever more fully with the members of your families, with your friends, in your neighbourhoods, in the workplace and in the whole fabric of Maltese society. In a particular way I urge parents, teachers and catechists to speak of your own living encounter with the Risen Jesus to others, especially the young people who... |

| There will be a show of Democratic unity this afternoon in an effort to topple a longtime Republican state senator from Queens. One of the Democratic candidates, Albert J. Baldeo, will be withdrawing from the race and endorsing City Councilman Joseph P. Addabbo Jr. Two years ago, Mr. Baldeo was a little-known lawyer in Queens who came within 2 percentage points, about 900 votes, of defeating the longtime Republican incumbent, State Senator Serphin R. Maltese. And Mr. Baldeo achieved that with no support from the party organization in Queens and largely with his own money. But this year, Mr. Baldeos... |

| State Senator Serphin R. Maltese strode slowly through the midmorning crowd at the Peter Cardella Senior Citizens Center like a shepherd corralling a weary but loyal flock. In the corridors and cafeteria, Mr. Maltese, 75, stopped repeatedly and leaned in to hear the greetings or gripes of his constituents most of them Italian-Americans who in the twilight of their lives have traded their neighborhood social clubs for centers for the elderly like this one in Ridgewood, Queens. Mr. Maltese spoke to them softly as a stocky man with a shiny red tie and a microphone sang a song... |
Senator Maltese Barely Holds GOP Seat in Queens

| Republican State Senator Serphin Maltese, the head of the Queens County GOP, and one of the founders of the Conservative Party, barely held his seat after Tuesday's election. Only 700 votes separated the pro life Senator from his Democratic opponent, Baldeo, whom some voters mistakenly thought was Italian! Maltese is one of the strongest pro lifers and conservatives in a State Senate that is being mismanaged and misdirected by Joe Bruno. Bruno, you may recall, blames local GOP losses on George Bush. The "George" he should blame is his pal, Governor George Pataki, who has not gone to bat for... |

| A state senator from Queens jolted state Republican Party leaders this week by trying to block gay Republicans from obtaining greater power within the state party organization. The move occurred as the party was preparing political strategies for the 2006 election. The move against the gay Republicans was rebuffed by other party members, led by the state chairman, Stephen J. Minarik, and the Manhattan chairman, James Ortenzio, who both argued that the party should have a "big tent" image heading into 2006. Excluding gay Republicans could also have embarrassed party leaders who support gay rights, like Gov. George E. Pataki... |
