Memorial Day in Lawrence
SFC (Ret) Robert A. Kujawa, former teacher at Lawrence High School ROTCand John P. Lenotte, after placing a wreath at the Vietnam War VeteransMemorial Monument in historic Lawrence Bellevue Cemetery, salute, whileEvan Williams played the Taps.
I want you to close your eyes and picturein your mind the soldier at Valley Forge, ashe holds his musket in his bloody hands. Hestands barefoot in the snow, starved from lackof food, wounded from months of battle andemotionally scarred from the eternity awayfrom his family surrounded by nothing butdeath and carnage of war. He stands though,with fire in his eyes and victory on his breath.He looks at us now in anger and disgust andtells us this...
I gave you a birthright of freedom bornin the Constitution and now your childrengraduate too illiterate to read it.
I fought in the snow barefoot to give youthe freedom to vote and you stay at homebecause it rains.
I left my family destitute to give you thefreedom of speech and you remain silent oncritical issues, because it might be bad forbusiness.
I orphaned my children to give you agovernment to serve you and it has stolendemocracy from the people.It’s the soldier not the reporter who givesyou the freedom of the press.
It’s the soldier not the poet who givesyou the freedom of speech.
It’s the soldier not the campus organizerwho allows you to demonstrate.
It’s the soldier who salutes the flag,serves the flag, whose coffin is draped withthe flag that allows the protester to burn theflag!!!
“Lord, hold our troops in your lovinghands. Protect them as they protect us. Blessthem and their families for the selfless actsthey perform for us in our time of need.Amen.”
Prayer Wheel: When you read this,please stop for a moment and say a prayerfor our U.S. ground troops in Afghanistan,Iraq and all over this World. Do not stop the wheel, please.... Of all thegifts you could give a US Soldier, Sailor,Marine, Coast Guard, or Airman - Prayer isthe very best one.....
The following passageis from a sermon by
John Hagee:

Vigilia por JimaníEl pasado jueves 3, organizada
por el ayuntamiento de Lawrence,se ofreció una vigilia por lasvíctimas del Río Soleil, quedesbordado, causara destrucción ymuerte en pueblos fronterizos entreRepública Dominicana y Haití hacesólo un par de semanas.
El Padre Jorge Reyes, de laIglesia St. Mary Inmaculadaconjuntamente con el Pastor VictorJarvis de la Iglesia Ebenezer, oraronpor las víctimas y pidieron consuelopara sus familiares y amigos,mientras Víctor Núñez, director delcoro de la Iglesia St. Mary entonabacánticos litúrgicos.
“Esta es una muestra desolidaridad para con nuestrosciudadanos que han perdidofamiliares y amigos en lasRepúblicas de Haití y Dominicana”,dijo el Alcalde Michael J. Sullivanal dar comienzo al acto.
De acuerdo con lo expresadopor Jorge De Jesús, asistente paraasuntos hispanos de la alcaldía, elAlcalde Sullivan ha estado muy altanto de los trágicos sucesosocurridos en las pasadas semanas.“A través de la gestión del alcalde,conseguimos permiso para elmaratón que se efectuó la semanapasada en el paseo de la Appleton,adyacente al Ayuntamiento, unatarima para el espectáculo musicalque se brindó y también policía, sinnecesidad de permiso ni costoalguno”, dijo De Jesús.
El Representante WilliamLantigua se hizo eco de lo expresadopor De Jesús, cuando agradeció alAlcalde Sullivan por la ayuda quesiempre ha dado a RepúblicaDominicana, y también al ChiefJohn J. Romero por organizar eltráfico en tan corto tiempo, duranteel maratón del sábado pasado. “Yonací en Santo Domingo pero entiempos como estos, estoy muyorgulloso de representar a la Ciudadde Lawrence”.
Jude Charles y su hermanaArnelle Morales, en representaciónde la colonia haitiana localexpresaron su pesar por lo sucedido.“Yo dejé a Haití hace muchos años,pero Haití está en mi corazón y estoymuy agradecida de la ayuda que laciudad de Lawrence nos han dado”,dijo Morales.
El Presidente de CasaDominicana, Santiago Matías, conbreves palabras, expresó suagradecimiento por toda la ayudarecibida. “Quiero dar las gracias a este país, porquecuando los necesito para ayudar a mi país, puedocontar con ellos. Que Dios bendiga a América”,terminó Matías.
Sólo unas cuarenta y cinco personas asistieron ala vigilia de los cuales su mayoría, eran empleadosde la ciudad no hispanos. Esta baja asistencia dehispanos a su vigilia parece haber irritado al PastorJarvis, que tuvo duras palabras de crítica dirigidassobre todo, a los dirigentes locales de los tres partidospolíticos dominicanos por no estar allí. “Claro, comoya pasaron las elecciones, se les importa un bledo”.
“Espero que los gobernantes que tomen el poderen agosto se vean en el espejo de Jimaní, y eviten,para el futuro otra catástrofe como la ocurrida”.Terminó Jarvis.
Desde un principio, Casa Dominicana ha sido elcentro de recaudación de ayuda para los damnificados.
Después de un largo y extremadamente fríoinvierno, necesitamos un descanso, mientrascomenzamos los preparativos para disfrutar delas actividades de verano.
Durante los meses venideros, nuestro tiempose dividirá en paseos a playas y lagos, reunionescon familiares y amigos, bajo la sombra de unárbol, disfrutando de un asado. Y durante losfines de semana, los festivales por lo que yaLawrence es famoso.
Comenzando con la Regata, que por segundoaño consecutivo acaba de celebrarse el pasadosábado, este verano viene lleno de actividades.
Semana Hispana, con sus Noches Culturales,el Desfile Dominicano, el Festival de Los TresSantos, Saint Anthony’s Mahrajan, el Festivalde Bread & Roses y el Festival de fin de Veranode Power 800.
Salga y disfrute del verano. Usted necesitade ese descanso.
¡Nos vemos en el parque!
Necesitamos undescanso
We need a breakAfter a long, long and extremely cold winter,
we need a break, while we get ready to enjoythe summer activities.
During the coming months, we will spendour time in trips to beaches and lakes, friendsand family gatherings under a shady tree,enjoying a barbecue and on weekends, thefestivals that are making Lawrence famous.
Starting with last week’s Regatta now beingheld for two consecutive years, this summer isfull of activities.
Hispanic Week, with its cultural nights, theDominican Parade, Festival of the Three Saints,the Saint Anthony’s Mahrajan, Bread and RosesFestival and the Power 800 Summer Festival.

¡Will see you at the Common! Ahora la Alcaldía ha colocado mesas a la entrada delayuntamiento, para todo aquel que quiera hacerdonativos de alimentos, pueda hacerlo.
En cuanto a lo colectado hasta el presente, la ayudano ha podido ser enviada todavía. Según SantiagoMatías, presidente de Casa Dominicana, cuando estaedición comience a circular el lunes 7, todo serácolocado en un furgón que será enviado por barcohacia la República Dominicana.
Tal como fue ampliamente reportado, el SenadorEdward Kennedy y el congresista Marty Meehan,visitaron Casa Dominicana la semana pasada,prometiendo gestionar con UPS el envío de lorecolectado. “Hasta ahora, la ayuda que nos ofrecieranel Senador Kennedy y el Congresista Meehan no seha producido”, dijo Matías. “No podemos seguiresperando, nuestra gente no puede seguir esperando”,terminó Matías.

¿Se encuentra pálido? Puede quepiense que un bronceado dorado se vesaludable y atractivo, pero los amantes delsol deben tener cuidado: podrían estarprovocando cáncer de piel, el tipo decáncer más común en los Estados Unidos.
La enfermedad puede resultar deuna exposición prolongada a la luz delsol, que emite Radiación Ultravioleta(Rayos UV) que daña las células de lapiel y puede conducir a uno de los trestipos de cáncer de piel: carcinoma basocelular, carcinoma de células escamosas ymelanoma. Aunque deberíamos tomarprecauciones ante la exposición al soldurante todo el año, es especialmenteimportante protegerse durante los mesesde verano, cuando el sol se encuentradirectamente sobre nosotros durante unperiodo más largo y los niveles de losrayos ultravioleta son los más altos.
“El cáncer de piel, especialmenteel melanoma, puede ser mortal”, comentala Dra. Lily Lai, M.D., experta en cáncerde piel del Centro de Cáncer de City ofHope en Los Angeles. “Afortunadamente,los cánceres de piel se pueden prevenir ytienen grandes posibilidades de curaciónsi se descubren y se tratan de formatemprana”.
Son varios los factores queincrementan el riesgo de cáncer de piel,pero todas las personas pueden desarrollarla enfermedad. Algunos de estos factoresde riesgo incluyen: tener una piel claradonde las pecas salen con facilidad; viviren climas cálidos con una alta exposiciónal sol o en zonas de gran altitud; laexposición al sol en el trabajo, comotrabajar al aire libre; estar toda la vidaexpuesto al sol; y tener muchos lunares enla piel.
Aquí tiene algunos consejos quele ayudarán a proteger la piel de losdañinos Rayos UV durante todo el año:
· Evite la exposición al sol del mediodía, de 10 a.m. a 3 p.m., cuando losrayos ultravioleta son más peligrosos.
· Utilice crema para protegerse del solcon un factor de protección de 15 osuperior cuando pase tiempo al airelibre. Recuerde volver a aplicarcrema protectora cada hora u hora ymedia.
· Lleve ropa protectora como porejemplo sombreros y camisas demanga larga que bloqueen los rayosdel sol.
· Proteja a sus hijos jóvenes de losrayos del sol. Los efectos dañinos dela radiación ultravioleta puedencomenzar en la niñez.
· Tenga cuidado cuando tome ciertosmedicamentos que pueden hacer quela piel se queme más fácilmente.Verifique con su doctor ofarmacéutico si su medicaciónpudiera causarle algún problema.
· Evite las lámparas y cabinasbronceadoras.
“Tener un bronceado, natural oartificial, es signo de que la piel ya hasido dañada”, comenta la Dra. Lai.“Debido a que las cabinas bronceadoras leexponen a los rayos ultravioleta igual queel sol, usar un auto-bronceador sin sol esel mejor modo de conseguir un bronceadosin dañar su piel”.

In Flander’sFieldsLieut. Col. John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid theguns below.
We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe;To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flandersfields.
The author of this poem, a member of the First Canadiancontingent, died in France on January 28, 1918, afterfour years of service on the Western Front.

Concept: We often hear aboutshooting for a WIN/WIN situationwhen dealing with the businesscommunity. But what happens whenthe goal is to achieve a WIN/WIN/WIN situation? Well, the results atAmerican Training give a clearexample of what does happen whenthe business community steps up tothe plate, when a training companyspeaks business’ language and whentrainees have the skill needed in themarketplace. Everyone WINS!
“We have a stronger and deeperrelationship with businesses in ourcommunity than any other similar companynorth of Boston! They are not justcustomers, they are PARTNERS!”
Thomas M. Connors, President andCEO of American Training makes that boldstatement with all the confidence one wouldexpect from someone promoting theircompany. However, he goes one step furtherand backs up those statements withperformance that has been remarkable. AndAmerican Training’s recent BusinessBreakfast Awards (May 7th”2004 AndoverCountry Club), during this their 25th year inbusiness, certainly backs up the claim thatthe Business community loves what thecompany is doing!
Talk to Mr. Connors for any length oftime and you can immediately sense thefeeling of pride and admiration he has forwhat the Business Breakfast Awardsrepresent. “Our Partnerships with thebusiness community helps guarantee aWIN/WIN/WIN relationship for everyone!We can train till the cows come home. Ifthose skills aren’t marketable in today’seconomy we haven’t done our job. That isspecifically why businesses are activelyinvolved in every aspect of our programs;
from curriculum development to speakingto our Guests and finally practiceinterviewing. It makes all the differencewhen our Guests go out into the workplaceknowing they are speaking the language ofbusiness because they are who have beeninvolved in their training. Their level ofconfidence and resulting work are pricelessWINS for them.
Our Partners, the businessesthemselves, are thrilled when they interviewprospective employees who speak theirlanguage, understand the so-called softskills such as being on time and usingcommonsense and have meaningful skillsthat are valuable in today’s marketplace.They also have access to a reliable laborpool for jobs that might otherwise beoutsourced to other countries. That is a hugeWIN all around for them!
And American Training WINS whenwe see our efforts rewarded through ourgraduates getting jobs. That is why we arein business. The pride each of usexperiences with every single success makesit all worthwhile.”
From their philosophy of reinventingthe education and training industry throughFUN and Entertainment and solidperformance to back up his claims thisyear’s Business Breakfast Awards,sponsored by Sovereign Bank and hostedby Mr. Connors and Arthur Brady,Executive Director/ COO, recognized andsaluted the efforts of over 150 committedand involved businesses and organizationswho have Partnered with numerousDivisions within the company which focuson workforce development.
“We decided early on in our history thatwe would focus first and foremost onPerformance. It’s what business understandsand supports. American Training doesn’tjust work with the business community, we
Partner with them! That oneseemingly simple approachhas set us apart time and timeagain.”
What kind ofPerformance is used to back-up American Training’sclaims? Well, the numberscan be staggering. Packaging5 million Christmas cards forMuseum Masterpiece ofLawrence, MA; 450,000 keyboard switches for Cortron ofMethuen: 6.5 million cutlerypieces for Comet ofChelmsford; 4.2 millionjewelry boxes for Design Pakof Marlboro.
Add to that the hundredsof job placements into industry and you canmore clearly see the dramatic effectAmerican Training is having in ourcommunity and beyond.
“When you see CEOs and seniormanagement taking time to celebrate theirpartnership with any company you can beassured there is something very specialgoing on.
Our company doesn’t just hold anAwards ceremony. We turn even the simplestget together into a major EVENT! Werealize the value of our Partnerships withthe Business Community, the efforts of ourGuests and Colleagues and nothing short of

Today armed with my digital camera, I waslucky enough to catch Don Barchard and RayCusteau while they were on duty at the Buckley.They were glad to have me shoot a photo of themwhile they answered some questions I had aboutthe scheduled hours of operation, etc.
As shown in one photo, they are open 24hours a day, 365 days a year like the MuseumSquare Garage across from the Lawrence DistrictCourt. Both garages are open to anyone and thereare plenty of parking spaces available. Monthlyparkers continue to receive access cards and carwindow stickers when they register according toBen Wales, who manages both garages.
I asked if they will continue in business whenthe MBTA Transportation Center is built. Mr.Wales explained that the Buckley and MuseumSquare garages are public and are managed by theCity so they will continue to be in operation.
Thanks to all the garage employees, parkingin Lawrence will continue to be more convenientand friendly.

Feeling pale? You may think that agolden tan looks healthy and attractive butsun worshippers beware: you could becausing skin cancer, the most common typeof cancer in the United States.
The disease can result from long-termexposure to sunlight, which emitsUltraviolet Radiation (UV Rays) thatdamage skin cells and can lead to one ofthree types of skin cancer: basal cellcarinoma, squamous cell carcinoma andmelanoma. While people should takeprecautions from sun exposure all year-round, protection is especially importantduring the summer months when the sun isdirectly overhead for a longer period andUV Ray levels are highest.
“Skin cancer, especially melanoma, canbe deadly,” says Lily Lai, M.D., skin cancerexpert at City of Hope Cancer Center in LosAngeles. “Fortunately, skin cancers arepreventable and highly curable if found andtreated early.”
Several risk factors increase the chanceof skin cancer, but everyone is at risk ofdeveloping the disease. Some of these riskfactors include: having fair skin that freckleseasily; living in warm climates with highsun exposure and/or high altitudes;occupational exposure, such as workingoutdoors; overall lifetime exposure to thesun; and having many moles.
Here are some tips to protect your skinfrom harmful UV Rays all year-round:• Avoid exposure to mid-day sun, 10 a.m.- 3 p.m., when UV Rays are most dangerous.• Use sunscreen with a sun protectivefactor (SPF) of 15 or higher whenever youspend time outdoors. Remember to reapplysunscreen every 1 to 1 ½ hours.• Wear protective clothing such as hatsand long-sleeved shirts that block the sun’srays.• Protect young children from the sun’srays. The damaging effects of UV Radiationcan begin in childhood.• Be careful when taking certainmedications that may cause the skin to burnmore easily. Check with your doctor orpharmacist to determine if your medicationcould be a problem.• Avoid sun lamps and tanning booths.
“Having a tan, natural or artificial, is asign that the skin has already beendamaged,” says Dr. Lai. “Since tanningbooths expose you to ultraviolet rays justas the sun does, using a sunless tanner isthe best way to get a tan without damagingyour skin.”
