Baxter Park ceremony to honor veterans at Baxter Park, thanks to Michelle Doucette.  Beautiful, poignant, and short ceremony.

Dennis Garlick addresses the first Medfield Veterans Day breakfast organized by Veterans Service Officer, Ron Griffin, at The Center.  Senator Jim Timilty and Congressman Joe Kennedy also attended to recognize and honor our veterans.

The servers were MHS students from the group Warriors for the Warriors, and the cooks were the many town residents and employees.
Luminaries at 5PM at Baxter Park this afternoon to honor veterans.

DCAMM is presenting its Phase IV clean up for the Medfield State Hospital site at the town house tonight. 
The basic general clean up of the C&D area was resolved by the mediation, and the current planning is on how to deal with remediation of the tetrachloroethylene (PCE).  The general plan is to inject reactants into the ground.  The DCAMM goal is to have the result meet drinking water standards.
PowerPoint of  a dozen slides and a draft Remedial Implementation Plan that is about two inches thick.  Thank  goodness that the town’s volunteer expert, John Thompson, is here to understand it all and to know what to ask. [End]

This is an ad for a movie, but it is really a fun one that made me chuckle.

Interesting installation of photos glued onto the sidewalk in the pocket park between Zebra’s and Starbucks, meant to focus attention on the discussion of what the town should do with this small parcel, that has long been the "pocket park."

About 1,500 people voted today and the yes vote won by 2-1, in favor of the town buying the Red Gate Farm 31 acres.

FYI – Our congressman Joe Kennedy will be at the Medfield Library next Saturday , October 26, from  2-3pm, as part of his “tour 34” to every single town and city in the 4^th Congressional district.   Please save the date and welcome Joe Kennedy back to Medfield again.

Watertown PD officer chasing bombing suspects expecting car jacking suspects to do the usual park and flee on foot, but instead gets two car lengths away from two people firing at him.  Only three officers on duty at that time.  Officer throws cruiser in reverse and lays across bench seat to avoid being executed as Shawn Collins had been.  Sargent also responded, and those two then engaged in continual firefight with the two terrorist for 8-10 minutes until next officers arrived. 
Standing ovation to appreciate all the officers who were involved.

At Massachusetts Municipal Association fall selectmen training, hearing now from Boston and Watertown Police Departments about the Marathon bombing response.  Later programs on evaluating town administrators, water infrastructure, managing town infrastructure, and effects of state actions.
