Purple ribbons for suicide prevention month, by MCSP & Medfield Outreach

In addition to being thankful to the Medfield Coalition for Suicide Prevention and Medfield Outreach for putting up the purple ribbons and notes, please notice how many nails and staples there are in that one telephone pole. There must have been many, many flyers on that pole. I wonder how old the oldest one was.

The following further explanation is from one of my fellow Plaintiff personal injury attorneys on our Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys listserv:

September is National Recovery Month. What a wonderful way to bring the great hope of recovery to the forefront.

It is also National Suicide Prevention Month—a wonderful way to bring the great hope of prevention to the forefront.

The City of Boston has a great webpage with recent news and resources for support on both of these topics: https://www.boston.gov/news/september-suicide-prevention-month-and-national-recovery-month-0

Thanks to the Needham Observer for posting the results of our contested Democratic State Rep. primary election for our precincts 1 & 2 (essentially North of RTE 109) –

Josh visited our polls during the election on Tuesday at the time I was there to vote (when I took a moment to thank the sign holders). Dem. State Rep. candidate Kevin Kalkut for our precincts 3 & 4 was there holding a sign at the time as well.

The state primary election is today and the polls are open until 8PM at The Center.

There are contested races on both parties’ ballots.

The Democratic State Representative race features the following candidates, per this paragraph from the Charles River Chamber of Commerce’s e-newsletter this morning:

Five candidates want to fill Garlick’s 13th Norfolk seat covering Needham, Dover and part of Medfield.  Democrats — Patrick Gatto, Ken Ruetenik, Josh Tarsky and write-in candidate Bhuren Patel compete today.  They’ll face off against Bill Dermody, who’s running as an unenrolled candidate in November.
