WORDS OF WISDOM FROM PRESIDENT KENNEDY
ON VETERANS DAY
By Salvatore M. Giorlandino, Chairman,
Town of Southborough Board of Selectmen,
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Many Sons
and Daughters of Massachusetts have served in the United States Military
with honor and distinction.
This
distinguished group of individuals includes the late President John F.
Kennedy, who served in the U.S. Navy in the South Pacific Ocean during World
War II.
Much has
been written about President Kennedy’s acts of valor as the Commander of PT
Boat 109, a Navy vessel that was part of squadron of U.S. Naval ships in the
South Pacific designed to deter enemy warships.
President
Kennedy was very proud of his Naval service. Several months before his death
in 1963, President Kennedy said:
Any man who
may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I
think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction, by saying that
“I served in the United States Navy."
Next Year,
the Year 2010, will mark the 50th Anniversary of President Kennedy’s
election to the United States Presidency. Shortly before assuming the
Presidency in January 1961, President Kennedy gave a speech to the
Massachusetts Legislature regarding the character traits of Sacrifice,
Leadership, Courage, Judgment, Integrity, and Dedication.
What
President Kennedy said then was quite profound and remains true today, and
especially today: Veterans Day. This is what President Kennedy said:
Today the
eyes of all people are truly upon us--and our governments, in every branch,
at every level, national, state and local, must be as a city upon a
hill--constructed and inhabited by persons aware of their great trust and
their great responsibilities. . . .
History will
not judge our endeavors--and a government cannot be selected--merely on the
basis of color or creed or even party affiliation. Neither will competence
and loyalty and stature, while essential to the utmost, suffice in times
such as these.
For of those
to whom much is given, much is required. And when at some future date the
high court of history sits in judgment on each one of us--recording whether
in our brief span of service we fulfilled our responsibilities to the
state--our success or failure, in whatever office we may hold, will be
measured by the answers to four questions:
First, were
we truly persons of courage--with the courage to stand up to one's
enemies--and the courage to stand up, when necessary, to one's
associates--the courage to resist public pressure, as well as private greed?
Second,
were we truly persons of judgment--with perceptive judgment of the future as
well as the past--of our own mistakes as well as the mistakes of
others--with enough wisdom to know that we did not know, and enough candor
to admit it?
Third, were
we truly persons of integrity—namely persons who never ran out on either the
principles in which they believed or the people who believed in them;
persons who believed in us; and persons whom neither financial gain nor
political ambition could ever divert from the fulfillment of our sacred
trust?
Finally,
were we truly persons of dedication--with an honor mortgaged to no single
individual or group, and compromised by no private obligation or aim, but
devoted solely to serving the public good and the national interest?
The
character traits of Sacrifice, Leadership, Courage, Judgment, Integrity, and
Dedication which President Kennedy emphasized are the true mark and
qualities of every man and woman, are the qualities that embody all Veterans
past, present, and future Veterans to come.
Today,
Veterans Day, is the day that we honor our Veterans for possessing those
singular and exemplary qualities, and thank them for their tremendous
service to our nation.
Thank you
for letting me share these thoughts with you today. |

EEA
Seeks Ideas for Reorganization, Public-Private Partnerships, and
Regulatory Models
Budget challenges prompt search for new ways to meet environmental goals
BOSTON - The Executive
Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) has scheduled six
“listening sessions” to take public input on options for changes in
administrative structures and programs to meet environmental goals in
light of budget challenges.
After four rounds of
spending reductions over the past two fiscal years and in anticipation
of an equally challenging budget for next year, Governor Deval Patrick
has instructed his Cabinet Secretaries to present him with options for
departmental reorganization and consolidation, streamlined operations
and procedures, and new models for doing the public’s business. In
response to this directive, EEA Secretary Ian Bowles has named teams of
EEA and department officials to explore three areas:
·
Public-Private Partnerships
– Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) Commissioner Rick
Sullivan and EEA Senior Advisor and Counsel Christian Scorzoni
o
Is
there potential for greater sharing of responsibility for the management
and operation of DCR properties with other public and private entities
in a way that preserves and enhances opportunity for active, outdoor
recreation by the public?
·
New Regulatory Models
– Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Commissioner Laurie Burt
and EEA General Counsel Ken Kimmell
o
DEP
has had great success with its 21E hazardous waste program, which relies
on private waste site clean-up by licensed professionals, with DEP
audits ensuring quality of results. Are there other ways to achieve
environmental results by innovative means?
·
Reorganization/Consolidation of State Agencies
– EEA Undersecretary for Environment Philip Griffiths and Assistant
Secretary for Policy David Cash
o
Could
EEA and its agencies be reconfigured to consolidate resources, clarify
missions, and reduce duplication of effort?
“Governor Patrick and I
have worked hard with EEA agencies to manage our budgetary challenges to
date so as to have the least impact on our environmental mission,” said
Secretary Bowles. “But the time has come to think bigger. In that, we
need the help of everyone who cares about our parks, beaches, rivers,
streams, and forests.”
The EEA teams responsible
for developing options for Secretary Bowles and Governor Patrick to
consider in each of these areas are soliciting ideas and input from the
public over the coming month. The schedule for public listening sessions
is as follows:
Public
Private Partnerships
·
Tues., Nov. 17, 4-6 p.m.,
100 Cambridge St., Boston, 2nd

A Day to Thank Our Veterans
 Whether
your schedule finds you working, doing errands or enjoying a day with
family, please make the time to thank a veteran on Veteran’s Day.
This Veteran’s
Day, take a moment to reflect on our daily freedoms and remember the men and
women willing sacrifice everything to protect them. Today we’re reminded
that the American ideals we celebrate on the 4th of July are only
possible because of those who risk all to defend them.
One of the
most important ways to thank our veterans is by providing support and
opportunity when they return home. As a member of the Joint Committee
on Veterans and Federal Affairs, I was proud to represent our district and
join my colleagues last week to pass legislation to do just that. The
legislation will create opportunity for returning veterans by giving
disabled veteran-owned businesses a leg up in competing for state contracts.
It will make some military training transferable for state certification
requirements. The legislation also creates a Commonwealth Medal of Liberty
to honor Massachusetts service members killed in action. There is plenty of
work to be done to fulfill our duty to veterans, but this legislation is an
important step forward. Its passage honors Massachusetts veterans of every
generation.
From the war
of our independence to today’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the
Commonwealth’s soldiers have answered the call to protect us and our
liberties. They and their families continue to make enormous sacrifices on
our behalf and today we express our gratitude and our thanks.

November, SVT and FARNWR hosted a reception entitled “Discovering Echoes of
a Place: Studies in Landscape and Still Life Painting” of artists from the
Metrowest area. These nature inspired watercolor paintings were on display
at the barn at SVT’s Wolbach Farm. Cecilia Sharma of Sudbury is the teacher
of all the students, running workshops is Sudbury, Wayland, and Wellesley.
With over 50 watercolor paintings on display, guests were shown a number of
artistic views of the beauty of this region. The beautiful weather brought
out a great number of people. All the food and beverage were provided by
the artists.

helped with advertising. We are now down to 1 board. Any assistance in
helping to get the boards back to the Rec office would be greatly
appreciated. They can be dropped off and left outside the Recreation
building on Highland Street. |
November 8, 2009 -
Recently I questioned myself why it was necessary to put my
thoughts about Veterans Day in writing and did it really make any difference
whether or not I sent my message.
Then I stepped back to put it all back into perspective.
Two young pilots from Massachusetts and their crews killed in
the air over Afghanistan.
Thirteen soldiers and civilians at Ft. Hood whose lives were
taken on their home soil.
Seven members of a Coast Guard helicopter lost off the coast
of California during a training evolution.
The commissioning crew of the USS New York ( LPD-21) who have
the honor to serve aboard and feel the bow cut through the waves – A bow
made of the steel from the Twin Towers.
Those who wear the uniform of our country put their lives on
the line 24-7-365.
Those who wear the uniform of our country carry on the
tradition, honor and pride of the men and women who went before.
Make note, those serving today were not drafted. They
volunteered. They entered the service of their choice in order to better
themselves and this world and they swore the same allegiance to this country
to “defend it – against all enemies – foreign and domestic” as those who
have gone before them.
So as I have in the past, I ask each of you to take time on
this Wednesday November 11th 2009, to remember our Veterans and
to thank a Veteran for their service.
Keep in your thoughts, those serving at this very moment.
Feel in your heart the pain of those families that have lost a loved one.
Remember those who are recovering from their wounds
physically and emotionally at home and at Veteran Hospitals around this
nation or sadly even in the streets of our nation.
This day isn’t about half price sales; advertisements
announcing special video game releases or a buy one get one free slogan. It
isn’t just about a day off from school..
It is about honoring the 11th hour of the 11th
day of the 11th month - The end of the War to end all Wars.
Sadly, we know all to well that hasn’t happened.
It is about honoring the sacrifices of those who have
defended this country in our past and those who serve our country today.
Thank a Veteran. Shake their hand. Welcome them home.
Express your appreciation for a job well done with a simple
“Thank you for your service”
Remember this Veterans Day

Commander
VFW Post 3276

Meet Martha Jackson |
Name: Martha
Jackson
Town: Stratham, NH
Career: Higher
education administration and
teaching, retired.
Alzheimer's touched my life
in a very personal way when my dad,
John Foley, was diagnosed with the
disease almost 30 years ago at the
age of 59. He died 10 years
later. My mother cared for him at
home for about four years, and with
the support of me and my three
siblings, she placed him in nursing
home care for the last six years of
his life.
What would I want to tell
people about Alzheimer's?
Well, I'm not able to sugarcoat it
in all honesty. It's a horrible
disease. We all do the best we can
to deal with it. But it's very
important not to lose hope. If it
happens in your family, there is
help. There are resources and people
available to answer your questions.
here is help for those of you who
care for someone with Alzheimer's at
home: adult daycare, visiting
nurses, etc. When my dad had
Alzheimer's, there were no
treatments available.For me there is
hope through research, and that's
why I volunteer at the Alzheimer's
Association. Through helping the
staff in their efforts and by
donating money annually, I feel in
some small way part of the effort
that will one day eradicate this
devastating disease.

Help Your Children
Understand Alzheimer's
|
 If
you have a parent or other family member
who has Alzheimer's, it is important to
remember that the diagnosis not only
affects you, but your children as well.
Adults have the ability and capacity to
understand the disease process and what
to expect. This knowledge needs to be
passed along to the children of the
family. Children may not understand what
exactly is happening with their loved
one, but they notice the changes. It is
important to talk to your kids and help
them understand Alzheimer's disease in
an age appropriate way.

the Alzheimer's Association

nothing provided in return
