Making Amends, Chapter 18 - Eyes of the Father

Summary: Bucky and Sam deal with Zemo and the Flag Smashers. A cryptic warning has Bucky on edge.

Length: 5.3 K

Characters: Bucky, Sam, Walker, Zemo.

Author notes: I made the decision not to use dialogue from the TV series to avoid copyright issues. As a result, there is a lot of exposition in this chapter which may just seem like a rehashing of the plot from the series. There is some made up dialogue. While you're reading it and you think back to the scene in the series just remember that my dialogue is different. After this chapter everything will be original plot and dialogue as Bucky takes on the danger threatening Lacey and Tommy.

<<Chapter 17

💉 🚔

The next few weeks were time that Bucky would never get back. After "helping" Zemo escape custody, then flying to Madripoor to seek out information about the super soldier serum they found themselves on the wrong side of the faction that ran the lawless colony. A woman in the criminal world in Madripoor gave them the name of the man making the serum, Wilfred Nagel, then was killed herself, which prompted a bounty on their lives, even though they had nothing to do with her death. Only the appearance of Sharon Carter helped them temporarily out of being killed by the bounty hunters. Carter, obviously part of the criminal underworld herself, helped them locate Nagel's lab. He confirmed the existence of the serum, admitted it was formed from a blood sample taken from an unwilling Isaiah Bradley, and that he had created 20 doses. They knew of eight Flag Smashers who had taken the serum, meaning there were potentially another dozen people that could be or already were transformed.

It literally blew up in their faces when Zemo killed Nagel, then a bounty hunter sent a rocket into the shipping container where the lab was. Zemo disappeared while Bucky helped Carter and Sam out of the wreckage. After helping them dispose of the rest of the bounty hunters Zemo showed up with a car to get them out of there and back to his private jet. At least they had a name, Donya Madani, a source of inspiration to the Flag Smashers, and a place, Riga, Latvia, to search for the group.

When they arrived in Riga, and Zemo led them to a safe house there, Bucky noticed several kimoyo beads in the vicinity and hung back, knowing the Wakandans were near. In a quiet street he spoke to Ayo, the Dora Milaje warrior, who gave him 8 hours before she and her squad came for Zemo. It was long enough for Zemo to find out where the funeral for Donya Madani was being held, and long enough for Sam to try and talk to the leader of the Flag Smashers, Karli Morgenthau. At least it would have been long enough if John Walker hadn't shown up to arrest Karli. She escaped in the confusion Walker's appearance caused. Later when the Dora Milaje came to take Zemo into custody Walker intervened again starting a fight that never should have happened. In the confusion of that fight Zemo escaped.

Karli reached out to Sam, via a veiled threat she made to his sister and nephews. When he and Bucky met with her they realized quickly her true intent was to occupy them while the rest of the Flag Smashers went after Walker and Hoskins. It was during that fight that Sam realized Walker had somehow taken the super soldier serum. That was also the fight where Hoskins was killed and Walker retaliated by killing one of the Flag Smashers in front of a crowd of civilians recording on their cell phones, using the shield to do it. After Walker ran off they followed him to an empty industrial building where both could see the mental turmoil the man was in. Sam asked for the shield and Walker took it as a threat. In the ensuing battle between the three Walker tried to kill Sam and Bucky was forced to fight unrestrained against the man who insisted he was still Captain America. It took breaking Walker's arm to get the shield from him then Bucky picked up the shield and dropped it beside Sam as he lay on the floor, not caring at that point whether Sam picked it up or not as he was done.

Walker faced a hearing back in the US where he was stripped of his Captain America title as well as his military rank. Sam returned back to Delacroix after a brief stop in Baltimore, while Bucky stayed in Europe tracking Zemo, fulfilling what he saw as his personal responsibility to return him to custody. He found him in what was left of Sokovia, at a memorial to the people who died. Zemo tried to convince him to go after Karli and kill her. In response, Bucky aimed the pistol at Zemo's head and pulled the trigger. It clicked instead of firing and Bucky let the bullets fall through his fingers to the ground, emphasizing for all time to Zemo that he wasn't a killer anymore. The Dora Milaje appeared at that time to escort Zemo to his new home in the Raft, a high security prison located underwater in the Atlantic Ocean. Just before he left Zemo glanced at Bucky.

"Now that Nagel is dead the Power Broker will be looking for a new scientist and a new source of super soldier blood for the serum," he said, looking intently at Bucky as he stopped. "You may want to make sure your son and his mother are safe."

Bucky was startled by this warning. "How did you...," he began.

"I find out things," interrupted Zemo, then glanced at the women warriors, acknowledging they were there for him.

As they walked away Bucky called out. "Ayo," he said. "I have a favour to ask of you."

She turned and looked at him as if that was the last thing she wanted to do for him. "As long as you make yourself scarce in Wakanda for a while," she replied.

He nodded his assent then made his request. She looked at him intently. "I will see what I can do," she promised. "He is a good man so it shouldn't be a problem."

Bucky watched them walk away then pulled his wallet out followed by a business card. He looked at it for a moment, considering his next action, and dialled the number.

"Hey, it's Bucky Barnes," he said to the person on the other end of the call. "I'm in Europe right now but I wonder if I can see you tomorrow or the day after. I don't want to say anything more on an unsecured line but it's important. It has to do with Lacey and Tommy. Thanks, I'll call you when I get to New York."

Two days later Bucky called and met with FBI agent Dan Jones at a coffee kiosk in Greenwich Village. Bucky asked if he wanted one and after paying for the two coffees walked to a bench away from people. Jones sat next to him, looking at Bucky intently.

"What's on your mind?" Jones asked Bucky.

"Do you know where Lacey and Tommy are staying now?" queried Bucky. "I know they aren't with the Bartons anymore."

"I might but I wouldn't tell you," replied Jones. "You really shit the bed on that relationship."

"You heard," said Bucky tersely. "I still love her and Tommy, and I care about keeping them safe. Someone gave me a warning about them. You ever hear of the Power Broker?"

Jones looked at him in surprise. "What interest does the Power Broker have in them?" he asked.

"The Power Broker was behind the serum that made the Flag Smashers into super soldiers," said Bucky. "The man who made the serum for him was killed, and the remainder of the serum was destroyed. I was warned the Power Broker might be looking for a new source of super soldier blood to make more serum. He wouldn't come after me because I can defend myself against a room full of people. Tommy is strong but not strong enough. If they put a gun to Lacey's head ...."

Jones let out a big breath. "Jesus, Bucky," he said. "What do you want me to do?"

"Can you put a detail on them?" asked Bucky. "Surveillance ... something, anything."

"Okay, I'll come up with something," said Jones. He hesitated then continued. "They're doing good, Bucky. Tommy's in school. Lacey is working on her fourth book. For what it's worth I think she still loves you. She hasn't been dating."

Bucky stood up and drained his coffee, dropping the paper cup in the garbage can next to the bench. "Thanks, Dan," he replied, smiling grimly. "I appreciate it. You have my number. Let me know if anyone comes after them."

Jones nodded and watched as Bucky walked away. The revelation that the Power Broker may be interested in Lacey and the boy troubled him. He pulled his cell phone out and made his own call to ask for a meeting. He was sure Nick Fury would want to know this development.

Bucky stayed home in Brooklyn for several days researching the location of more people on his list that he had to make amends to. When he received a shipment from Wakanda, via their embassy in New York, he booked a flight to New Orleans. There he rented a car and drove to Delacroix. After asking where he could find Sam Wilson he was directed to a gathering of people on a dock. He picked Sam out of a group of men gathered near a wrapped engine loaded on the back of a truck. Putting the case from Wakanda down he picked the engine up and lifted it off the truck, putting it down on the dock. He looked back at Sam and the other men, smirking at the faces they made.

"It wasn't that heavy," he said, then he picked up the Wakandan case and put it on the truck. "You needed a new wing suit and I figured the Wakandans could build you a good one so I called in a favour.

At that moment a hose on the boat blew and Sam jumped on the boat to tighten the fastener on the hose. Bucky could see Sam didn't know much about boats and jumped on beside him, taking the wrench and explaining he had to turn the fastener up to tighten it. Then he checked out the boat, thinking it reminded him of when he worked on the Brooklyn docks.

"Can I help?" he offered. Sam nodded and Bucky noticed a woman watching them, who he assumed was Sam's sister. He waved at her. "I'm Bucky."

"Sarah," she replied smiling then turned away, a little flustered.

Sam looked from Bucky to his sister and back again. "What about Lacey?" he asked.

Bucky made a face. "I kind of messed things up with her," he replied. "Your sister seems nice."

"No!" said Sam. "Don't even think of it."

Bucky gave a cheeky grin then followed Sam to another part of the boat. For the next few hours he helped with the repairs. They talked about the Flag Smashers and Bucky told him about Zemo's thoughts on the matter. As it got close to sunset they stopped to have a beer. After draining his last one Bucky told Sam he had a flight to take the next day and was going to get a hotel for the night. Sam, being the man he was asked him to crash at his place as long as Bucky didn't flirt with his sister. Bucky laughed again, knowing he had made Sam uncomfortable with his mild flirting. He slept on the couch without any nightmares until he woke up to the sounds of Sarah's boys, A.J. and Cass, play fighting with the shield. For a time he watched them, a soft smile on his face.

"Good morning," he said to the boys who desperately tried to get the shield back in its cover before running off.

For several moments he lay on the couch before deciding he should get up. Learning that Sam was already at the dock, Bucky made his way there, finding him working on the engine. Seeing he needed two sets of hand Bucky helped him with a part, which made Sam stand back and look at him with new eyes.

"Where did you learn about boats?" Sam asked.

"Brooklyn," replied Bucky. "I worked the docks there after I graduated from high school. Couldn't afford college until I made some money. It was still the Depression in 1935."

Sam suggested they work on the water pump so they pulled it apart then began rebuilding it. Sarah came, looking critically at what they had done and ordered them away from the dock. She had her no nonsense voice going so both men obeyed and returned to the house where Bucky tried to teach Sam how to throw the shield. They had a heart to heart talk while they threw it around and Bucky apologized to Sam for getting in his face about giving up the shield. He explained how the shield was the closest thing he had to a family. When Sam retired the shield, it made Bucky feel like he had nothing left and was truly alone. The counsellor in Sam stopped and listened intently as Bucky told him the decision made him question everything about Steve, Sam, and even himself. It was a humbling experience that Bucky trusted him enough to tell him these things, calmly but with feeling. Sam asked him about the nightmares and Bucky admitted he still had them. In his mind they were proof that he was still there, in those situations. It was also proof, in his mind, that the Winter Soldier was still in him. He coloured for a moment then opened up even more.

"That's why I left Lacey," he said emotionally. "We were right in the middle of amazing sex and I had a vision of the Winter Soldier tying her up and doing terrible things to her. I pulled out, took the condom off and left her in her bed. I hid out on the farm until Steve found me in the morning and I asked him if we could leave. I was afraid of hurting her physically, Sam. Instead I broke her heart and I don't think she'll ever forgive me for that. Tommy spit on me. That's how much I hurt him by it."

Bucky turned away, coughed and wiped his eyes trying not to break down. Sam watched for a moment then put his hand on Bucky's shoulder in commiseration.

"I'm sorry," he said. "That had to be tough for you to do."

"Well, it's done," shrugged Bucky. "If you have any advice on that or my other issues I'd appreciate it."

"This making amends, is it part of your conditional pardon?" asked Sam. Bucky nodded. "Well making amends is more than just saying sorry. It might make you feel better but it does nothing for the families of your ... sorry, the Soldier's victims."

"It wasn't just that," replied Bucky. "I know that there isn't anyone from HYDRA who will make amends to them. Part of me still feels responsible so I accepted the task. I've already identified and helped arrest several people who benefitted from HYDRA's and the Soldier's actions."

"Yeah, and that was good but that was just stopping the bad guys from getting away with it. Some people, especially the surviving family need to know what went down, how their loved one died. Only you can tell them."

"There's a lot of those," said Bucky, somewhat despondently.

"Okay, all it takes is one to start the healing," replied Sam. "That will be the hardest one. The next one won't be quite so hard. You'll give them closure and perhaps in the process you can forgive yourself along the way. For what it's worth, I don't think it was fair to put this all on you. You were their victim as well and no one has made amends to you, have they?"

Bucky considered his words then looked at Sam appraisingly. "You're not bad at this counsellor stuff," he stated. "I'll never get an apology for what I went through but I can deal with it. Maybe not well, or quickly, but I will."

Sam smiled and nodded. They both stepped towards each other, sharing a pound hug, and Bucky asked Sam to call him when he had a lead on Karli Morgenthau. Bucky turned away to walk to his rental car, then turned back to Sam.

"What about Lacey?" he asked loudly. "How do I fix that?"

"A lot of grovelling," suggested Sam. "I haven't had a girlfriend in over 5 years so you're going to have to figure that one out on your own. She is the mother of your son so she's worth it."

"Yeah, she is," Bucky agreed.

A few hours later he was back in Brooklyn. On the way to his flat he passed a bookstore and on impulse went inside where he noticed they had a display of women authors. They had Lacey's second book and her third. He smiled softly when he saw the title of the third, His Blue Eyes. It was published during the Blip, when no one knew the decimated would return someday. Set in a 2018 that didn't experience the Blip, it told of a chance encounter between a woman writer and a man who had to go into hiding. The ripples from their encounter affected the lives of their friends and colleagues. It also explored the long distance relationship they had until an act of heroism changed their lives forever. The dedication page was emotional for Bucky.

For B. There will be never be another like you. You gave me the greatest gift.

L.C.C. December, 2021

As he paid for it the clerk looked at him strangely, noticing his blue eyes, then recognizing him when he saw the artificial hand.

"You're Bucky Barnes," he said. "I've read this book. You don't strike me as the type of guy who would read something like this."

Bucky looked at him calmly. "I know the author," he replied. "I have her other books, including her first one, written under a different name."

"It's a good book," said the clerk. "Most people think it's a typical romance novel but there's a lot more in it, about longing for someone who is out of reach. There's a sense of loneliness to it, of being held hostage by fate and circumstance, things they had no control over. I also liked all the ripples their initial meeting created, changing the lives of people close to them. I've heard rumours of a possible movie."

Bucky smiled kindly at him. "I'm sure she'll be thrilled with that," he stated, then picked up the book and nodded at the clerk before leaving.

It took him two days to read it and when he finished he knew it was about them, even though she changed all of the circumstances, and the character's names and back stories. The book store clerk was right about it being more than a romance novel. Lacey captured the sense of longing felt by both characters, even though they attempted to carry on with their lives. The side stories described the effect their encounter had on their circle of friends exploring the inter-connectivity between people. The biggest difference, of course, was the main male character in the book stayed dead after his act of heroism whereas Bucky came back. He was surprised to find the second part of the book explored how the main female character Lauren ended up with a different man but the more he thought about it the more sense it made. His own initial advice to Lacey had been to find a good man and take a chance on love with him. If he never came back from the Blip he wished she would have found someone, a good man, to live her life with.

While he waited to hear from Sam he set about tackling his list of names in the little notebook. It was hard, especially to the families of those he had killed. Some threatened to kill him, some to sue him, but he left their homes knowing he had given them an answer. One woman's response surprised him with its unexpected emotion. His victim's daughter had let out a visible breath when he told her what he had done to her father then looked at her hands before talking.

"My dad wasn't the best man," she said calmly as she sat in a chair across from him, looking at him intently. "He had issues, and he raised his hand to my mom and me more than once. We suspected he was involved in something shady so when his body was found we weren't surprised. Surprisingly, he had a life insurance policy and the money helped both me and my mother to start over. I was able to go to college. She was able to enjoy a comfortable life until she died of cancer." She turned to Bucky. "I know what you're doing because I've been in therapy for this love – hate relationship I still have with my dad. I hope you find the closure you're looking for but I won't forgive you because there's nothing to forgive. Instead I thank you for killing him and freeing us from a lifetime of abuse. I truly believe he would have killed one or both of us if he had lived."

Several days after meeting with that woman he heard from Sam that the likely target of the Flag Smashers was the GRC council, meeting in New York later that evening. Bucky promised to meet him at the location and hurried back to his flat to change. When he arrived at the site of the meeting he was allowed in through the security perimeter. Apparently he was already known as an Avenger. A person did challenge him, then removed a nano mask, revealing Sharon Carter's face. She offered her help and together they went closer to the building where the GRC council was being evacuated. Sam told them to keep people in the building as he realized the Flag Smashers wanted them outside and exposed. As Bucky walked, a woman with a security ID gave him a phone, saying it was Karli. He looked at the screen and was puzzled that the call came on a phone app, not through the cell phone itself.

It was Karli on the other end and she tried to convince him to join her. He tried to convince her that she was going about things the wrong way by pointing out that all this death she was causing wouldn't make the nightmares go away because she would remember everyone she killed. Once more he asked her not to do this but she laughed lightly and told him not to get involved. When he pointed out he already was she laughed again and thanked him for his time. She hung up making Bucky realize she had been delaying him from intervening. He ran to the parking garage and took a motor bike, hoping he could catch up to the transports the council members were obviously on. It took several blocks but he saw the vehicles stopped at a barrier and several Flag Smashers gathering between them. Pressing on the accelerator he aimed the motor bike at the barrier, then applied the front brakes causing the back wheel to come up. He flew over the barrier, flying into the chest of the biggest man the Flag Smashers had, knocking them both away from the others. While he fought him he noticed the others set fire to one of the vehicles and quickly disabled the man he was fighting with. Running to the vehicle he pulled on the handle, trying to force open the door. Noticing an extra lock on the door Bucky hit it with all of his might several times, eventually breaking it. Then he pulled on the door handle again and it finally gave way. He helped the people out, telling them to go. The last man stopped and thanked Bucky for saving them, a sentiment that caught him by surprise.

Turning he saw several Flag Smashers beating a man who was on the ground and realized it was John Walker. Running towards them he saw one about to hit him with a parking meter and launched himself into the man. Another Flag Smasher came at him and he recognized Karli's hair. Grabbing a piece of chain that was within reach he hit her with it but she shook it off and kicked him, sending him over a barrier and down several stories to the ground. As he looked up he saw another one jumping towards him holding a steel beam as a weapon. Raising his vibranium arm it took the brunt of the hit then he grabbed the steel beam and tore it from the other guy's hands. He hit him several times until the man didn't get up again. A sound from above made him look up and he saw the other vehicle teetering at the edge of the structure, slowly breaking through the beams that were supporting it. Knowing he couldn't stop it he watched helplessly until it suddenly began to inch backwards and he realized that someone, hopefully Walker, was trying to keep it from falling. When Walker suddenly fell, with two Flag Smashers hanging on to him, the vehicle began breaking through the structure again. Only this time, it was stopped as Sam and his new suit had the strength to keep it from falling. Pulling Walker out the way Bucky watched in awe as Sam was able to push it back up to safety at the top of the structure. He could hear people cheering above as Sam hovered over the scene and knew they had accepted him as Captain America.

A sound from behind him made him turn in time to intercept a metal bar thrown to kill him by Karli. She attacked Bucky but was hit by the shield as Sam descended into the space. Suddenly smoke bombs were shot into their midst and they lost sight of her. Sam looked around then turned to the other two yelling to follow him while he ran into the smoke. As they ran through a tunnel Sam's display showed that the three Flag Smashers had split up. Bucky and Walker took the path of two of them while Sam continued following the one. Their path quickly petered out and Bucky led Walker through the maze of construction then back out into the open.

"Shit," swore Walker. "What now, Bucky?"

Bucky took the phone out that the security person gave him. "I have an idea," he said. "They have an app. Maybe I can lure them here."

Quickly he opened the app and smiled when it showed him everyone else who had the app. He entered a message then they both stood back and waited to see who showed up. Within minutes three figures came out from the construction site, stopping when they saw the other two men. Walker quoted Abraham Lincoln with a smile, impressed at Bucky's improvisation. Bucky held the phone up to the three Flag Smashers, commenting on the app as sirens and flashing lights heralded the arrival of the police. They were surrounded by a heavily armed tactical squad and the three Flag Smashers were taken into custody.

Together Walker and Bucky walked towards where several ambulances had been parked. As they walked in between they saw Sam fly in carrying the lifeless body of Karli Morgenthau. The media were throwing questions at Sam but he just ignored them, instead facing the people on the GRC council who were still there. Bucky watched as Sam challenged every one of their decisions which he believed had set off the time bomb of the Flag Smashers movement. Then he laid it all on the line, telling them they had no right to make decisions for billions of people without having them represented. It was inspiring stuff. After when Sam approached him Bucky pretended he had been texting the entire time which made Sam laugh. In Bucky's mind, the shield was now in good hands and he left with Carter to get her some medical attention feeling pretty good about what they had prevented.

Back in his neighbourhood later Bucky found himself outside where Yori Nakajima lived. For some time he stared at the building entrance from the sidewalk then he went up the steps and up to the floor where Yori lived. Slowly he walked to the old man's door and knocked. Yori was surprised to see him as it wasn't Wednesday, their usual day to spend together but still invited him in, asking what Bucky wanted.

Sombrely Bucky told him it was about the murder of Yori's son, RJ. He told him the Winter Soldier had been responsible for it and that he, Bucky, had been the Winter Soldier. His voice was shaking as he said it and the old man looked at him with hurt confusion on his face then asked why. All Bucky could offer was that he didn't have a choice and the old man's face suddenly displayed all the grief he had held inside for so long. He looked away from Bucky then stood up and walked to the shrine he had dedicated to his son, saying nothing. With sadness Bucky stood up and went to the door, looking at the broken man he had just hurt all over again. There was nothing further he could do for Yori; no condolences, no support, nothing he could ever say would help the sweet old man who had been his friend.

That night Bucky broke into Dr. Raynor's office and left her a gift bag with a note thanking her for all of her help. Inside the bag was his notebook with every name inside crossed off. Then he went home and opened the new notebook he bought and wrote in two names that he still had to atone to. Lacey Chapman and Tommy Chapman. He didn't put their names in the first book because they weren't victims of the Winter Soldier. Their pain was all on him, James Buchanan Barnes, and even if it took years he would find a way to make up for what he did to them. Maybe, just maybe they could forgive him. The following day he walked past the sushi bar and saw Yori sitting at the counter while Leah poured his sake. She looked at Bucky through the window but said nothing and he wondered if Yori told her about the confession. Subtly he nodded his head and took a breath before continuing on his way. He stopped in front of his building then turned and looked around the neighbourhood. It had been somewhat familiar to him when he first got the flat but it wasn't home anymore. He could see that now. Home was where he would be welcomed and he knew it was somewhere else.

*****************

If you wish to read Lacey's book His Blue Eyes, it is fully published on Wattpad, under my user name SJSmith56. I hope you find it entertaining as Lacey used all the people she had come in contact with while she was pregnant and raising Tommy on her own as inspiration for many of the characters in the book she wrote after Bucky was turned to dust in the Blip. It has attracted some other readership already.

The Byronic Hero Bracket: Qualifying Round Batch F #11

Bois Guilbert from Ivanhoe vs. Booker DeWitt from BioShock Infinite

Reasons under the cut (spoilers for both)

(All sources from TV Tropes)

Bois Guilbert:

In Ivanhoe, Bois Guilbert is a perfect example. He is portrayed as a proud warrior and a passionate man who by his own admission holds nothing sacred save his given word. He gets infatuated with Rebecca, proceeds to kidnap her, and over the course of the story begins to respect and admire her fortitude. Yet unwittingly and tragically he ends up condemning her to a painful death at the stake. The most poignant scene of the book is the tournament to determine Rebecca's guilt where Bois Guilbert's immense pride and hatred for Wilfred of Ivanhoe contends with his desire to save Rebecca and make up for his mistake. The result? Unable to bring himself to strike and defeat Ivanhoe and indirectly seal Rebecca's fate and at the same time unable to bear the shame of accepting defeat at the hands of a wounded Ivanhoe, he dies, not a victim of any physical injury, but his own passions.

Booker DeWitt:

Booker DeWitt of BioShock Infinite is not a nice man. Having served in the massacre of Wounded Knee at the age of 16 and refusing a baptism, and that's not even getting into the stuff relating to his daughter; it would be healthy to say he's a cynical fellow. Later, Booker would find himself spiral into an abyss of gambling debts that piled up by the truckload and rampant alcoholism. He's given a chance to atone for all of the things he's done by retrieving a mysterious girl by the name of Elizabeth and as the game progresses, he's more than willing to tear Columbia a new one to rescue her.

Sicilian Carts (Pimp my ride).

Here is a essay on Sicilian Carts. It is from a short lived art journal called Arts and Crafts 'A monthly review' edited by Herbert Furst, and then Wilfred Lewis Hanchant. It ran from between 1927-1929.

What is interesting is the essay is by Claudia Guercio, who later became Claudia Freedman. Claudia was born in Formby, Liverpool and studied at the local art school before going to the Royal College of Art. There she met and married Barnett Freedman.

It can be a bit rambling but I think it is worth a read and Claudia also mentions her beloved Sicilian Puppets.

Sicilian Carts by Claudia Guercio

One of the most outstanding features of Sicilian life, in the eyes of any foreigner visiting Sicily for the first time, are the carts used by the peasants of that country. As the carts used in Palermo, the capital of the island, are supposed to be without parallel it is of them we shall speak the writer happens to have lived many years in Palermo and is well acquainted with the carts to be seen there and in the surrounding countryside. They are just the ordinary working carts, used by the proprietors of orange and lemonade orchards in the country to carry their fruit to market in the towns, used by the charcoal sellers and the peddlers of fruit and vegetables, who go their rounds in the morning through alleys and by-streets. These beautifully painted carts are used for even humbler purposes, great loads of seaweed are carried away in them from the sea-shores and loads of stones from the quarries. They are mostly drawn by mules and donkeys, as those are found to be the hardiest animals for that work, though horses of the Sicilian breed are also used.

One of those most remarkable things about these carts is that their shape is of the most primitive and utilitarian kind, and yet, they are enriched in all parts with the most exquisite carvings and imaginative paintings. The pattern is always the same though the subjects of the paintings and the details vary.: two panels of painting on each side and the axel is elaborated with wind wood carvings and iron work, all painted in bright colours, and sometimes another strip of similar work hands, like a curtain, from the back of the cart. The four panels of figure painting - two on each side of the art - are illustrations of all kinds of historic and legendary subjects, and they are placed, like pictures in a framework of carved and painted wood, which form the two sides of the cart.

Among the legendary subjects thew favourite ones are: the episode of Rinaldo and Armida, from Tasso's "Jerusalem Delivered"; Roland at Ronceveaux; Oliver's Duel; Charlemagne and his Peers, and Angelica at Paris - (an episode from Ariosto's "Orlando Furioso.") There are also paintings on the carts whose inspiration comes from such far sources as Greek history and mythology; such as the burning of Troy, the Trojan Horse, and the Rape of Europa! Among the historic subjects the favourites are the Coronation of King Roger - episodes from the Norman Conquest of Sicily, the Retreat from Moscow and pictures of Napoleon III: all derived from more or less authentic sources.

Sometimes the paintings are of a religious kind; and there are also more familiar subjects such as attacks of brigands and family pictures. The subjects of these paintings are usually chosen by the owners of the cart. What must seem most wonderful to the foreigner is the surprising knowledge of such a variety of legends and historical anecdotes on the part of what are often quite illiterate people. But their two great sources of information are the Marionette theatres and the old Sicilian "contastorie"

In the Marionette theatres, for a few soldi, one can see enacted by puppets - on a diminutive stage - the whole epic of Charlemagne, to the accompaniment of a barrel organ - and with loud comments from the spectators, who become as a rule, excited to the point of jumping onto the stage to fight Orlando's battles for him! This, and the "contastori" who still goes his rounds in the old parts of the town - and relates, in the Sicilian dialect, and after his own fashion the great deeds of Paladins of France - to an audience of men and boys, who belong to the peasant class of Sicily, are their two great sources of information.

The carvings underneath the cart, round the axle, are often a strange medley of religious and profane subjects. Two little fat men with a big barrel of wine are found, for instance, carved underneath the outspread wings of an angel blowing a trumpet; and the Madonna and Child are surrounded by carvings of grotesque figures, and fantastic leaves and flowers. But all these carvings, whatever the subject of them may be, are executed with refinement and beautifully painted, and they are nearly all so miniature as to be visible only on close inspection. One can surely say that the makers of these Sicilian carts are true artists, for they lavish their skill and imaginative genius on even those sections of the cart which are almost completely hidden from view; and one feels they work for the sake of their art rather than for the effect their skill can produce on the outside world.

Even the wheels are delicately painted, and the spokes have little carvings on them, though these sections of the artist's work are always fated to disappear under coatings of dust and mud after the cart has been in use for a short period. The shafts are also carved and painted, and now that I speak of them, I must say something about the trappings and harness on the horse which goes between them. Even on working days the horses, mules, or donkeys of the Sicilian carters, have something gorgeous and fantastic about their harness, even if it is only a bunch of scarlet plumes on their heads and a few circular pieces of mirror, set, like jewels, in the leather of their harness - or a piece of red ribbon tied on to one ear!

These are supposed to be charms - efficient in warding off the "evil eye" from the horses, or any other blight or illness feared by their superstitious owners. On working days the horses also wear large tassels of bright coloured wool, hanging down below their ears, and on their backs, there is a vertical section of their harness, about twelve inches high on the top of which is fixed a bunch of red feathers - their harness is also worked in wool, with brass nails and red ribbon as ornaments, and many bells are attached in various places, which make a continuous sound when the horse is in motion. The same trappings are used on mules and donkeys, and very often one sees a small donkey of mouse grey colour cantering along with his cart rattling behind him - a big tuft of red feathers on his head waving as he moves and all the bells on his harness jingling!

One feels that these are proud moments for the owner of the cart, who looks well satisfied with himself as he cracks his whip merrily in the air, and nods to his acquaintances as he passes. But these wonderful carts are not used only for industrial purposes, and on holiday occasions the Sicilian peasant takes his whole family for an airing in the cart - and even long pilgrimages are attempted in them. A number of rustic chairs are placed on the cart, forming a small square and men, women and children take their places on them, sometimes as many as eight in one small cart.

One a year, in the spring, there is a special festival for the Sicilian carts, and they come into Palermo from all parts of the neighbouring country, and parade about the streets, and prizes are awarded for the finest cart and the best caparisoned horse. It is then you see the houses in their full glory, and the carts, fresh from the hands of their makers, are wonderful to behold! Last spring, when I was in Palermo, I was present at this festival, and I will describe a cart and horse which won some of the biggest prizes.

The horse was of a light bright colour, and a fine example of the Sicilian breed, and his harness was ornate to a fantastic degree; he shone in the sunlight like the steed of some fairy prince! His harness was covered with incrustations of what seemed solid silver and had the appearance of being wrought like filigree ornaments, and it was studded with tiny pieces of mirror. When he moved the music of countless bells was heard, and his whole neck and mane was covered by what seemed armour, of wrought silver, and with a great bunch of nodding plumes on his head, he looked the visionary steed of some mediaeval warrior. Everything about him was one bewildering mass of detail, and in some parts of his harness the silver fretwork stood out several inches from his body like sculptural ornaments. There was hardly a portion of his body visible under these magnificent trappings, and he had even small leggings of silver coloured fretwork. The cart behind him was fresh from the hands of the painter, and adorned with countless enrichments of wood-carving and wrought iron. Words cannot describe the dazzling colours in which every section of it was painted, or the wealth of incident portrayed in the pictures on it: the hands of the artist had lavished all their skill on it, and there was not the space of one inch on its whole surface that did not have some exquisite carving or painting on it. To complete the picture, I must add that the most beautiful Sicilian girl, among all the peasant women competing for the women's beauty prize, was sitting in this cart, and great was the applause when the cart, horse and women according to the Sicilian custom - received substantial prizes for their excellence!

“Five Interesting Saudi Arabian Nonfiction Books”

1. The Bro Code of Saudi Culture: Describing the Saudi from Head to Toe by Abdul Al Lily

“Every culture is governed by an internal code of conduct, and this publication captures the code of Saudi culture. Most Saudi norms have long been unwritten and only orally communicated among citizens. As a result, visitors to the country have been unable to read about these norms. For this reason, this book spells out these norms in bold print. It provides bite-sized descriptions of ‘the Saudi’. It is informed by around 2,000 interviews with nationals and expats. It is the first to talk about the culture in a purely descriptive (and therefore non-judgmental) manner” (www.Amazon.com)

2. A Year Under Sharia Law: Memoir of an American Couple Living and Working in Saudi Arabia by Alex Fletcher and Elizabeth Fletcher

“Three years into a financial crisis that shows no sign of loosening its grip, a young couple make the unpopular decision to teach English in Saudi Arabia. The choice of Saudi Arabia is based primarily on the best salary offer, an all expenses paid round trip flight and secondarily to satiate a desire to explore a country steeped in mystery and taboo. Little do they know that the experience will come with a price and change their lives in a profound way, witnessing human rights violations that go unchecked even up to today and an ultra-conservative culture wrestling with tradition and modernity.” (www.Amazon.com)

3. On Saudi Arabia: Its People, Past, Religion, Fault Lines - and Future by Karen Elliott House

“Through observation, anecdote, extensive interviews, and analysis Karen Elliot House navigates the maze in which Saudi citizens find themselves trapped and reveals the mysterious nation that is the world’s largest exporter of oil, critical to global stability, and a source of Islamic terrorists.” (www.Amazon.com)

4. Ibn Saud: The Desert Warrior Who Created the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by Barbara Bay

“Ibn Saud grew to manhood living the harsh traditional life of the desert nomad, a life that had changed little since the days of Abraham. Equipped with immense physical courage, he fought and won, often with weapons and tactics not unlike those employed by the ancient Assyrians, a series of astonishing military victories over a succession of enemies much more powerful than himself. Over the same period, he transformed himself from a minor sheikh into a revered king and elder statesman, courted by world leaders such as Churchill and Roosevelt. A passionate lover of women, Ibn Saud took many wives, had numerous concubines, and fathered almost one hundred children. Yet he remained an unswerving and devout Muslim, described by one who knew him well at the time of his death in 1953 as “probably the greatest Arab since the Prophet Muhammad.” Saudi Arabia, the country Ibn Saud created, is a staunch ally of the West, but it is also the birthplace of Osama bin Laden and fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers. Saud’s kingdom, as it now stands, has survived the vicissitudes of time and become an invaluable player on the world’s political stage.” (www.Amazon.com)

5. Arabian Sands by Wilfred Thesiger

“ Arabian Sands is Wilfred Thesiger's record of his extraordinary journey through the parched "Empty Quarter" of Arabia. Educated at Eton and Oxford, Thesiger was repulsed by the softness and rigidity of Western life—"the machines, the calling cards, the meticulously aligned streets." In the spirit of T. E. Lawrence, he set out to explore the deserts of Arabia, traveling among peoples who had never seen a European and considered it their duty to kill Christian infidels. His now-classic account is invaluable to understanding the modern Middle East.” (www.Amazon.com)

Palmer-GFA arbitration to be conducted via video conference amid coronavirus fears

The Ghana Football Association and Winfred Osei Kwaku's arbitration case will be held via a video conference following the outbreak of the Coronavirus. The latest development is as a result of bans on travels by several countries affected by the pandemic. The case had initially been decided to be addressed on the basis of written submission but that has taken a different twist as hearings at CAS can be conducted from May. Winfred Osei, popularly known as Palmer, dragged the Ghana FA to CAS over his 'unfair' disqualification from the presidential race in October last year. CAS agreed with Palmer and ordered FIFA to file its defence in the case which the Tema Youth owner was thrown out of the Ghana FA election race. Mr. Osei Kwaku suspects several officials of the then- Normalisation Committee who were appointed conspired against him to kick him out of the race and has even filed Ethics Committee cases against the quartet. The Ghana Football Association named Hendrik Willem Kesler for its legal showdown against Wilfred Osei Kwaku "Palmer" at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The Dutch and Swiss-based international lawyer is to arbitrate on the long-standing legal tussle with the disqualified aspirant. Meanwhile, Palmer and his team have appointed John Didulica as their abitrator in the case. Mr John Didulica is the Chair of North Geelong Warriors Football Club, a former Director of Football & General Counsel at Melbourne City Football Club; Former legal counsel to Football Federation Australia; Former member of the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber; former professional footballer. source: https://ghanasoccernet.com/

EXCO member Sammy Anim Addo lauds Maxwell Konadu tactical prowess

Executive Council Member of the Ghana Football Association, Samuel Anim Addo, has lauded the tactical prowess of Maxwell Konadu after guiding Kotoko to beat Dreams FC 1-0 in match day 9 of the Ghana Premier League.

The Porcupine Warriors recorded victory against Dreams FC at the theater of Dreams, Dawu after back to back draw with Liberty Professionals and West African Football Academy (WAFA).

According to him, the Kotoko gaffer won the tactical battle on the day and deserves all the credit.

“I think the game was tactical and very aggressive. In the first half, the game plan of both coaches were not known until the second half. I think Maxwell deploy a good tactics to beat Wilfred Dormon”

“We have to give the credit to Maxwell because his tactical approach on the game was perfect. His substitutions also paid off for him and so he needs to be commended” he told Footballghana.com after the game.

All hail Yahaya Mohammed, the enigmatic journeyman turning lemons into lemonade

[caption id="attachment_754873" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Hat-trick hero Yahaya Mohammed.[/caption] At age 31, most footballers will be considering life after retirement; but that is not the case for Yahaya Mohammed. He’s still going strong. Not much has changed, perhaps just his hairdo, from the boy who burst onto the scenes and could do everything, literally. He could strike a ball so well from any distance as though his feet were made of steel, could finish off chances with the finesse and arrogance a striker can only admire and could tackle so hard with little or no respect to aesthetics, like an old-school defender and a no-nonsense defensive midfielder. It’s not by design, it’s credit to his mercurial character to see his career evolve from a limited centre-back to a defensive midfielder and now a target-man upfront leading the charge. Like a warrior, brazen, intimidating and imposing, Yahaya has had a career soaked in controversies and niggling injuries, that have punctuated his development. For what is worth, Yahaya’s disciplinary record has been a blight on his career and notably his off-the-field antics and shenanigans have derailed what could have been a fascinating career for the all-round colossus. “I don’t think anyone can question his potential and abilities on the field. But Yahaya has disciplinary issues which must be worked on,” Wilfred Osei Parma (Director of Tema Youth), explaining why his outfit decided against re-signing the exuberant and cocky Yahaya Mohammed who had scored 9 goals in 11 matches while on loan at Amidaus Professional in 2012. ''Why do you think Kotoko will send him out on loan when they know he’s a good player? There are certain things about the player that many people do not know. He needs to work on some of his deficiencies and I believe the sky will be the limit for him,'' he added. [caption id="attachment_774175" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Yahaya Mohammed talking to GPL Express host Juliet Bawuah[/caption] Courted at an early age in Tema, while playing for colt’s club – Great Ambassadors, Yahaya Mohammed’s stature and versatility set him apart from the rest. Built to last and lasting to endure all adversities, the Terminator as he’s affectionately known, looked raw but showed enough grit and graft for his talents and abilities to woo Wilfred Osei Kwaku Parma, an ace football administrator and owner of Tema Youth (a lower division side). He saw a bright prospect through chaos – one which could not be overlooked. The Terminator joined Tema Youth as a prospect at 17 years in 2006. Yahaya impressed national team handlers and was part of the U20 team that participated in the prestigious Toulon tournament in 2007. Then, a tough-tackling defender, he earned himself a renewable loan move to French side OGC Nice after the tournament, but things took an unexpected turn. Yahaya started well with the reserve team but suffered a broken foot that kept him out for majority of the time. The deal was mutually terminated and young Yahaya had to return. He returned to the Tema-based club and later joined Berekum Chelsea before joining Real Tamale United (and a brief loan to Wa All Stars). While at Chelsea he had an unsuccessful trial at SuperSport United in South Africa. A career breakthrough beckoned when he joined the biggest team in the land and former African champions, Kumasi Asante Kotoko. Yahaya Mohammed who had now evolved from a center-back to a midfield bulwark helped the Porcupines win their 21st league title in 2011/12. [caption id="attachment_754758" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Yahaya Mohammed got a hat-trick on the first day[/caption] The following season, in a rather bizarre twist, Yahaya Mohammed was deemed surplus to requirements and was loaned out to Amidaus Professionals. It was posited that, some management members of the club at the time were fed up with Yahaya’s constant bickering, demanding an improved contract and quoting exorbitant fees. This was perceived as destructive to the Porcupines. Rivals, Hearts of Oak and AshantiGold expressed their interest in signing him, but the Porcupines decided against such move knowing his untapped quality. Amazingly, Yahaya’s loan to league debutants Amidaus, soared his stock more than anything. He was made captain and became the club’s talisman. He was fully transitioned from a midfielder to a striker and Yahaya seized the opportunity with both hands, scoring 11 goals in 15 matches. After the successful loan, the terminator couldn’t hide his joy as he returned to Kotoko. ''I left Kotoko last season with pains because I felt I still had enough to offer the club,” Yahaya told the club's official website. ''Thankfully the opportunity has come again and I am going to utilize it judiciously and do more than what I did with Amidaus Professionals this season.'' [caption id="attachment_289341" align="aligncenter" width="530"] Yahaya Mohammed[/caption] His return to Kotoko was shrouded in controversies as the player agreed a pre-contract with Libyan side Al-Ittihad while still contracted to Kotoko. The club was appalled and disappointed, slapping him with an indefinite ban, but he was finally allowed to move on loan when a consensus was reached. It was the latest episode of a career riddled with multiple controversies. The deal didn’t go as expected. Yahaya Mohammed left the Libyan club after they failed to pay his salary for about five months and returned to Kotoko. The Porcupines, who had had enough and could not agree new terms, later released him. Like a chess player, he made his next move. He joined Aduana Stars, scoring 11 goals after the first half of the season and ending with 15 goals in 27 matches, losing out on the top-scorer gong to Liberty Professionals’ Latif Blessing by just 2 goals. He tried another switch to second-tier Mexican side Murciélagos FC but that didn’t work out well. He joined Tanzanian side Azzam FC, but again the move hit a snag when his contract was mutually terminated soon afterward -- for failing to live up to his price tag. Yahaya returned to Aduana where he has seen some level of consistency in his game, perhaps what he needed most when his burgeoning career kicked off few years ago. Just maybe, a case of too little, too late for the Terminator. With just two weeks to his 32nd birthday, the Terminator looks sharper and evergreen than ever before. Yahaya, who had scored 8 goals in his last 15 topflight matches before the start of the season, has found a new lease and look much settled than ever before. He feels at home in Aduana. [caption id="attachment_349130" align="aligncenter" width="530"] Aduana Stars forward Yahaya Mohammed[/caption] The fans revere him, and he continues to repay their faith in him. Over the weekend, in a keenly contested potential title decider with Medeama, it took a late free-kick goal from the Terminator to win it for Aduana Stars, while he got the consolation goal in his side’s 3-1 defeat to Ebusua Dwarfs in midweek. He is defying age and the constraints it comes with. He has only gotten better, like an old wine. He is leading the topscorers’ chart with 8 goals in 8 matches, while providing one assist. Yahaya is bent on leading his charges to another league trophy – the team revolves around his charisma. When Yahaya is happy, everyone is and importantly, the team wins. Many have wondered what kind of player he could have blossomed to become if some of the decisions he took early in his career could be reversed. Well, we’ll never get to see that player, but one thing we’re sure is that, Yahaya has set out to rewrite his own history in his thirties and there’s no stopping – all we can do, like the Aduana fans, is to enjoy his form while it lasts.
