The first of three women vio-lently gunned down while sit-ting in a car last week was re-membered as a “doe-eyed”young woman with “moxie andguts” during an emotional fu-neral service yesterday.
But clergy and family mem-bers who spoke during the bur-ial services for 22-year-old Shar-rice Perkins had a larger mes-sage for the community aboutending the cycle of violence.
“We have to expose the peo-ple, call names of those whosell drugs, those who run ingangs, those who commit vio-lent acts must be exposed tothe light,” said the Rev. John M.Borders III, the senior pastor ofMorning Star Baptist Church inMattapan. His message was metwith applause and shouts of“Amen.”
“We cannot be afraid of ex-posing what we know to theauthorities. Flood the lines.Snitching is an act of betrayal,but truth is a moral obligation.”
Perkins, Kristen Lartey andGenevieve Philip, all 22, were
sitting in a car on HarlemStreet on the Dorchester-Matta-pan border with a fourthwoman when a gunman ap-proached them and opened fireabout 9:30 p.m. Aug. 12. Thefourth woman survived. Policesaid they’ve received tips, butno arrests have been made.
Family members also im-plored young people to helpstop the violence.
“The young people, you areour future and you need to startacting accordingly,” saidPerkins’ aunt.
A viewing was held beforethe funeral started and griefoverwhelmed some who at-tended. One man had to beheld up as he became over-come with grief, while otherscried uncontrollably.
Those who spoke aboutPerkins, who was studying en-gineering at Roxbury Commu-nity College, recalled her as afashionable young woman whowas mature beyond her years.
“This hurts so bad,” said themother of her godson whobroke down crying while talk-ing about Perkins.
Perkins’ mother, AngelaFrancis, wrote a letter to herdaughter after the murder.
“She gave me a lot ofstrength,” her mother said. “Iwill still feel your presence justwhen I need you.”

U.S. Rep. skepticalof Green Lineexpansion projectState officials yesterdaycelebrated the planned re-hab of a Somerville brown-field into what they hopewill be the Union Squarestop along the Green Lineextension, but not withoutsome skepticism.
“The Green Line exten-sion is a top priority forGov. Patrick and Lt. Gov.Murray. We’re committedto making it happen,”Transportation SecretaryRichard Davey said at theformer site of the KileyBarrel facility.
But U.S. Rep. MichaelCapuano questionedwhether the project wouldbe completed on time.“I’m willing to take a betright now that there willnot be a Green Line stationhere in 2017 ... I mean,they’re making promisesto everybody and I don’tsee how they can keepthem all. I hope this is thetop priority that they saythat it is, but I haven’t seenit thus far.” SHNS

Nothing says summer like bit-ing into a plump, juicy, sun-kissed tomato. At least that’show it looked yesterday atCity Hall Plaza, as several by-standers reached under rib-bon partitions that separatedthem from hundreds of Massa-chusetts’ top-tier tomatoes.
The tempting fruits werethere for the city’s 28th AnnualTomato Festival and Contest,which kicked off MassachusettsFarmers Market Week.
Marie Hills of Kymball FruitFarms in Pepperell said shehas seen first-hand the lovethe Hub has for its farmers’markets.
“Taste is a huge part of it.People come out of their wayto come to the farmers mar-ket. Why would you come, un-less you know you are going toget fresh quality — it may notbe the cheapest — but it is cer-tainly the freshest quality,”she said. “Most of the stuff we
bring down is picked thatmorning. You can’t get it anyfresher. ... Look at the growthin the farmers market inBoston. It’s been huge.”
Mayor Thomas Menino saidcity officials intend to keeppushing a progressive farmersmarkets agenda
“Farmers markets also con-tribute to the economy. I travelaround our city all the time,and I see many farmers marketsthat are packed with people,generating lots of sales for ven-dors,” he said. “And those samepeople tend to hang out in theneighborhood and visit the lo-cal shops in the Main Street Dis-trict. So farmers markets are awin-win enterprise.”
The contest boasted hun-dreds of tomatoes of variouscolors, shapes and sizes. As ea-ger farmers market visitorspassed by, helping themselvesto slices of summer fruit, itwas clear that Boston has a
taste for freshness.Kymball Fruit Farms took
home first place prizes for itstomatoes in both the Best Slic-ing Tomato category and theWeight category.

people will do when facedwith the choice “to pay ornot to pay” when no one islooking. Unmanned pop-upstands stocked with HonestTea asked pedestrians for $1for a drink. Some paid, somedidn’t.
6The city tied with four othercities to come in at No. 6 inthe U.S.

GOP distance themselvesfrom Akin rape remarkMitt Romney and the chair-man of the Republican plat-form committee worked todistance their party from aMissouri Senate candidate’sremark that “legitimate rape”rarely leads to pregnancy.
The comment by ToddAkin, 65, a congressman whois running to oust one-termU.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, aDemocrat, quickly went viralon the Internet, sparking out-rage from women’s groups andDemocrats and prompting himto issue an e-mailed retraction.
Romney sought to separatehis campaign from the re-marks, telling National Re-view Online that Akin’s com-ments were “insulting, inex-
cusable, and, frankly, wrong,”the former Massachusetts gov-ernor said. “Like millions ofother Americans, we foundthem to be offensive,” he said.
Akin’s comments are receiv-ing attention in a campaignwhere Republicans are seen asbeing hostile toward women.In the interview, Akin saidabortion shouldn’t be allowedin rape cases, in part becausepregnancy was unlikely to re-sult. “From what I understandfrom doctors, that’s reallyrare,” said Akin, who hasserved in the U.S. House since2001. “If it’s a legitimate rape,the female body has ways totry to shut that whole thingdown.” BLOOMBERG

‘I misspoke’
Retracting his comments in astatement, he said: “In review-ing my off-the-cuff remarks,it’s clear that I misspoke inthis interview and it does notreflect the deep empathy Ihold for the thousands ofwomen who are raped andabused every year.”“Those who perpetrate thesecrimes are the lowest of thelow in our society and theirvictims will have no strongeradvocate in the Senate tohelp ensure they have thejustice they deserve,” Akinsaid.

LaBeouf in the buffPopcorn darling ShiaLaBeouf might be in a littleover his head with his latestproject, avant-garde directorLars von Trier’s graphic“Nymphomaniac.”
“There’s a disclaimer atthe top of the script that ba-sically says, we’re all doing itfor real,” LaBeouf tells
MTV.com of the film’s manysex scenes. “And everythingthat is illegal, we’ll shoot inblurred images, but otherthan that, everything is hap-pening. He’s like the mostdangerous dude that I’veever showed up for. I’m terri-fied. I’m so terrified.”

Mike Birbiglia is acomedic Renaissanceman, dabbling inmany paths to pro-
duce laughter: film, theater,stand-up, radio and a book.
His 2010 memoir,“Sleepwalk with Me: and OtherPainfully True Stories,” hasbeen republished with a newforeword by Ira Glass for thewide release of his movie of thesame title.
Birbiglia has Louis C.K.’s in-trepid honesty, without the in-tense cynicism towardrelationships. He has DemetriMartin’s low-key personalityand subtle delivery. And he hasJim Gaffigan’s all-American ap-petite. (“I would marry pizza,but it would just be an elabo-
rate ploy to eat her whole fami-ly at the reception,” Birbigliaquips.)
For fans, the book doesn’tcontain too much new content,which is a blessing and a curse.Readers who are familiar withBirbiglia’s two appearances on“Comedy Central Presents” andhis extended special, “MikeBirbiglia: What I Should HaveSaid Was Nothing — Tales fromMy Secret Public Journal,” willrecognize the vast majority ofhis popular jokes. However,Birbiglia followers will enjoyseeing how his jokes translatefrom stand-up to text.
Although Birbiglia’s style isoften personal — sometimesuncomfortably so — he gainsemotional traction by explor-
ing his familial relationships toa greater extent than he hasever done in his stand-up.
From Birbiglia, expect depic-tions of awkward experiencesthat most sane people wouldstrain to repress. What’s bestabout the comic is that helooks his audience square inthe eye, and then proceeds todetail his most embarrassingmemories, from his first make-out session to his infiltration ofa NASCAR focus group in orderto snag some free cookies.
This is what makes“Sleepwalk with Me” so appeal-ing — it’s a no-holds-barredlook into the psyche of an aver-age guy, who, through his ownmodest nature, is exceptionallyfunny.
Birbiglia enjoyed early literary success.

Obamacare notwhat you think it isRE: “UNDER OBAMACARE, ELDER-LY WILL SUFFER” (METRO, AUG.20) If Mr. Sangenario wants totalk simply, he should stick tosome facts rather thanventuring off into fantasyfear-mongering.
President Obama’s plan isto cut waste and fraud fromMedicare. Paying subsidies toinsurance companies whothen spend less than 35 per-cent of that money on healthcare is what some people callwaste. Using Medicare fundsfor health-relatedexpenditures only is whatObama calls cutting fraud.What are people in favor of ifthey are against this?
Obamacare, or the Afford-able Care Act, does not simply“cover” more people with taxdollars. The ACA brings inmore people to the group of
us who pay our fair share andcover our families withhealth insurance through pri-vate health insurance compa-nies. Let’s put fantasy asideand READ. SCOTT KEELEY, VIA E-MAIL
Akin has a holewhere his heart,brain should beTodd Akin’s comments con-cerning “legitimate rape”prove the conservativeattitude towards women’s is-sues: They simply don’t careabout them! An estimated30,000 women a year becomepregnant by rape in this coun-try. Abortion should be legalon that fact alone. Wealthypeople aren’t concerned ifRoe vs. Wade is overturned oraugmented. They would sim-
ply fly their loved ones toCanada and have the proce-dure there. Romney, Ryanand Obama can easily affordthis for their daughters. Canyou?RICH BRITTLE, BOSTON
Gay rights sidesnot made equalThere’s an important distinc-tion that is not being made inthis whole gay marriage/Chick-fil-A argument. If thepro-gay argument prevails, an-ti-gay people can and will con-tinue with their livesunchanged and unaffected. Ifthe anti-gay argumentprevails, they will in fact beimposing their moral valuejudgments on the rest of us,with the full force of law be-hind them. They will effective-ly be condemning us to the
legally-sanctioned status ofsecond-class citizens. We pro-gay people would neverdream of doing that to them.So, let’s not pretend that thetwo sides are arguing from anequal footing, or with any de-gree of equality or respect.GARY DAY, VIA E-MAIL

Summer can get awayfrom you if you’re notcareful. If you have somePTO left and haven’t
booked a plane ticket yet, aroadtrip to Quebec can be theperfect getaway. Visiting thenation to our north is like a Eu-ropean vacation without thatpesky flight across the pond.
MontrealMontreal could be the most vi-brant, least intimidating city inNorth America. And it’s all inhow it’s mixed. Residential ar-eas sit in streets just behindmain thoroughfares, and main-stream shops sit on the sameblocks as secondhand stores,start-up art galleries and deca-dent nightlife destinations. Forthese reasons there’s no suchthing as a “bad area.” The city isin love with art and its artistsand constantly hosts citywidefestivals. From now throughSeptember, 15 different festi-vals are scheduled, celebratingsuch diverse interests as litera-ture, tattoos and pop music.To do and eat: The best way toget around the city and see asmuch as possible is to use Mon-treal’s enviably comprehensiveBixi system. With bicycles setup in 411 locations around thecity (by comparison, Boston has61), you’re able to rent a bikeand check out all the shops onthe hill. There are too manytop-notch restaurants to thor-oughly examine within thisspace, but we highly recom-mend Cafe Du Nouveau Monde
(www.tnm.qc.ca) and Nora Gray(www.noragray.com). Quebec CityTo see: If you visit Quebec Citybefore the beginning of Sep-tember, you’ll have a chance toexperience the outdoor cine-matic art installation known asthe Image Mill. Industrial grainsilos become an enormousmovie screen (98 feet high and1,968 feet wide!). The multime-dia presentation abstractly de-tails the history of the region,
something its people are well-versed in. The film is more re-warding if you learn in advancethe intriguing details aboutwhy the people in this regionspeak French but have theQueen’s face on their currency.The Image Mill is free, as is thecity’s Cirque du Soleil show,“Les Chemins Invisibles,” stagedbeneath a highway overpass.To eat: A restaurant called LeCercle (www.le-cercle.ca) in thecity’s Saint-Roch district isworth a trip off the beatenpath. Entrust your tastebuds tothe experts and order La Mania;the cooks deliver a multi-course meal based on what’s inseason, and the bar staff per-fectly pair drinks with it. Afterdinner, head next door to LeCercle’s adjoining indie musicvenue.

With UMass football moving upfrom D-1AA (FCS) to D-1 (FBS)this season and playing all oftheir home games at GilletteStadium, they will begin thetransition to “big-time” collegefootball.
Numerous programs havemade the transition to the FBSwith no problems, and dramati-cally increased their atten-dance. The most notable schoolto do such was UConn, whichmoved into the FBS in 2002 andthen began playing their homegames at Rentschler Field inEast Hartford during the 2003season. UMass doesn’t want tobe like UConn and otherschools, however. Rather,they’d like to set a new stan-dard.
“We are very unique,” saidJason Blanchette, UMass’ direc-tor of sales, to Metro Boston.“One of the challenges is thatwe are playing an hour and 45minutes away from campus.You can’t really compare thatto any other school. We are try-ing to put our own UMass flairto everything. We are not try-ing to be anyone else, we arejust trying to be UMass.”
Prior to UConn’s upgrade, itplayed its home games on cam-pus at Memorial Stadium andaveraged 15,085 fans per game.The new stadium was a 25-minute drive from campus, butthe program saw a dramatic at-tendance increase.
In 2003, the Huskies aver-aged 37,059 fans per game in a
stadium that has a capacity of40,000. Last season, playingtheir home games on campusat McGuirk Alumni Stadium,the Minutemen averaged10,004 fans per game. This is anumber that will need to be in-creased to meet goals and astandard set by the NCAA.
“Obviously, our goal rightnow is we need to meet theNCAA rules for transition aver-age, which is 15,000 per homegame this season,” Blanchettesaid.
With the Amherst campusbeing an hour and 45 minutesaway from Gillette Stadium, at-tracting students could proveto be difficult, but Blanchettesays it shouldn’t be a problem.
“Our students are excited,”he said. “I think they look atplaying all of our home games

A look at the highlights ofthe schedule for UMass foot-ball as it transitions to theFBS.
at UConn 8/30: The Huskiesmade the same transition adecade ago and wound up inthe Fiesta Bowl by 2011.vs. Indiana 9/8: The firsthome game at Gillette does-n’t start until 3:30 p.m., giv-ing fans plenty of time to“get ready.”at Michigan 9/15: Theywon’t get a win in AnnArbor, but just being therelegitimizes this process.vs. Central Michigan 11/23:Will fans still show up inchilly Foxboro in November?
at Gillette Stadium as one ofthe best college football venuesin the country. A lot of studentswill make a weekend out of it.They have a lot of friends goingto BC, BU and Northeastern, sothey will get in the car andhead out. We are also offeringthe opportunity for students totake a bus. They are excitedabout going to see top-level col-lege football against teams like
Indiana in the Big 10. We havenever had that in the past, sothey are really excited about it.I think especially that firstgame we will see a great stu-dent crowd.”
Alumni will also play a ma-jor role in just how much theschool will exceed their goalsin terms of attendance, as theyhave been a major target forticket sales. The biggest obsta-cle so far, according toBlanchette, has been UMassfans, and Western Massachu-setts natives not being used tofootball being promoted so ear-ly. With all the challenges setwith such a major move, theadministrators can only do somuch. Much of what deter-mines whether or not fans willcontinuously come out andsupport the program comesdown to the play on the field.The first home game against In-diana could have a significantimpact as to what the remain-der of the season will bring.

UMass will look to go up and over expectations.
make the game flow oh-so-smoothly each season. The replacement refs have been horrifically bad this
preseason, so much so that a strong rumor was floatedyesterday by profootballtalk.com that the league wascontemplating using a one-man officiating crew (simply tomove the ball after penalties). The story, which was immediatelyshot down by NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, said that penaltieswould be called in the press box by league officials using videoevidence.
Only the NFL could get away with even thinking aboutsomething so drastic and idiotic.
In fact, because of the perception that the NFL can do nowrong, there are plenty of people out there who think thisfoolish plan would actually be a good idea.
Look, our national pastime is not in trouble. Not even close.But if the NFL continues to think it can do absolutely no wrong,at some point its popularity will take a drastic hit.

Boxing, horse racing and, yes, baseball were once theBig 3 in this country, but two of the three have fadedaway over the decades, for one reason or another. Itshould be noted that the popularity of all three sportswas, of course, fueled by gambling. Today, people in
the U.S. love betting on football. Vegas estimated that $90million was wagered on this past year’s Super Bowl alone.People are spending money, people are making money andevery Sunday in the fall and winter is a holiday in and of itself.The NFL is king and there is no sports prince. It can’t possiblybe this good forever. Can it? Well, we know for sure that therewon’t be any sharp drop-off anytime soon. But little-by-little,
day-by-day, moronicdecisions by the NFL ownersand those in the leagueoffice will add up.
It would be a lot easier forall of us if the NFL ownersand those in the league officejust sat back and raked in thebillions. Instead theyconstantly feel the need totweak, obviously in an effortto (you guessed it) make evenmore green.
