In commemoration of the 25th Anniversary, the Girl Scout troop from St. Stanislaus will be recognized at Memorial Square on 69th Street and Grand Avenue immediately after the Memorial Day Parade on Sunday, May 24. Back in 1984, the same Girl Scout troop wrote letters to the Queens Ledger asking to bring back the Memorial Day Parade in Maspeth. This outcry resulted in the reemergence of the Parade. The troop is led by Linda Cotov and Wiceida Feliciano, and troop members include Marissa Cofane, Kim Cotov, Kristina DeSena, Sarah Feliciano, Natalie Frankowski, Taylor Groll, Maragret Leisenheimer, Rebekah Lopatto, Ashling McGlone, Cassandra Rodriguez, Jennifer Silberberger, Nicole Talamo, and Amanda Vopat

Sports-mad South Africa salutes Mandela 'The Captain'

People dance during a gathering of mourners on Vilakazi Street in Soweto where the former South African President Nelson Mandela resided when he lived in the townshipBy Ed Cropley and Ed Stoddard JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Sports-mad South Africa saluted Nelson Mandela on Saturday with smiles and moments of silence in honour of the late anti-apartheid leader, who inspired people to pursue the impossible from politics to the playing field. The tributes stretched across the sporting spectrum, from club cricket and fun runs to top fixtures such as a League Cup final between Platinum Stars and Orlando Pirates, the Soweto giants believed to have been Mandela's favourite soccer side. In their first comments since his death on Thursday evening, Mandela's family thanked South Africa and the wider world for their support. Saturday's Cup final before a 40,000 crowd in the northeast city of Nelspruit was preceded by a moment of silence in honour of South Africa's first black president, whose early sporting prowess, particularly in boxing and soccer, was cut short when he was jailed for 27 years by the apartheid government.
