As a member of Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, he was actively involved in parish life, including helping with the parking, teaching CCD classes, running the Parish Carnival for several years, being the lector or Extraordinary Minister, and being the altar server at Mass.

Monday, November 21, 2016East Coast. Since opening its first store in the summer of 1992, Sam's has expanded from Hartford to over 200 locations on the Eastern Seaboard and in Canada. The company now includes the convenience store chain DB Mart and the tobacco specialty store Smoker's Discount World.

"I thought it would be a nice quiet dinner with a few speakers. This is quite a production," he said. "I am very pleasantly surprised."The late Gerardo and Vicenta Alverio raised one of the first Puerto Rican families in New Britain and contributed to their community for more than 40 years. Their daughter, Diane Alverio, is the founder and publisher of the award-winning news website CTLatinoNews.com.Gerardo Alverio was born in Puerto Rico and settled in New Britain, where he worked in the city's thriving manufacturing industry.

She was also the New Britain Puerto Rican Society Club's first Mother of the Year in 1975 and had served as vice president of the club's Ladies Committee.The couple was married for 52 years before Vicenta's death in 1998. Gerardo died last year at 95.They were leaders in the community, valued education and taught their children to become leaders as well. "I'm humbled," Diane Alverio said of the family's induction. "I walked in and saw my parents' picture. I think about the struggles they faced when they got here, I'm sure they would be standing here saying 'what is this?'"___Information from: New Britain Herald, http://www.newbritainherald.com...
Monday, September 05, 2016Hermine is just sitting and pushing the water up along the coast making storm surge a great concern.It was expected to stall over the water before weakening again.Governors all along the Eastern Seaboard announced emergency preparations. A tropical storm warning was in effect from New York’s Long Island to Massachusetts.Tropical storm-force winds were possible Monday in New Jersey. Gov. Chris Christie warned that minor to moderate flooding was still likely in coastal areas and said the storm will cause major problems, even as it tracks away from land.“Don’t be lulled by the nice weather,” Christie said, referring to the bright sunny skies along the Jersey Shore on Sunday. “Don’t think that nothing is going to happen, because something is going to happen.”On the Virginia Beach boardwalk, the Atlantic Ocean roared with uncharacteristically large waves, drawing only a couple of surfers into the choppy white water. But hundreds, if not thousands of people, had descended onto the beach for the traditional last weekend of summer. Umbrellas and canopies dotted the sand under partly sunny skies.Hermine failed to stop Barb and Don Willis of Buffalo, New York, from enjoying the trip they booked months ago. They even braved the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel on Saturday as the wind whipped their car and the bay rose close to the bridge’s bottom.“That was so scary,” Barb Willis said. “Oh my God. My hands were white knuckles, and the water was so high. It was horrible,” she said.The couple, both in their 60s, said they knew the storm would blow over,...
Monday, September 05, 2016Even as Hermine weakens, wind gusts of 30 to 50 mph were expected across southern Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts on Monday, Buttrick said.Governors along the Eastern Seaboard announced emergency preparations. A tropical storm warning was in effect from New York's Long Island to Massachusetts.Whipping winds didn't keep some beach seekers from walking along the New Jersey shore on Monday, but Labor Day vacationers quickly took to boardwalks as an aggressive high tide moved into the area late morning.The waves eroded some of the shore, creating sand dune cliffs where kids climbed. Warnings of potentially dangerous riptides temporarily cleared the water Monday morning, but a couple of dozen beachgoers and a handful of surfers returned to the water in Atlantic City by the afternoon. A rougher surf cleared portions of the beachfront.MD Mahabub Khan has worked as a taxi cart pusher at the shore for 27 years and said he still attracted some business over the weekend, but the smaller crowds were noticeable."People from New York and New Jersey are kind of stuck here (during bad weather), so they can still come," if forecasts don't play out as predicted, Khan said.New York City closed its beaches Monday because of rip currents, and the ban could extend into Tuesday, depending on weather conditions, officials said.Hermine rose over the Gulf of Mexico and hit Florida on Friday as a Category 1 hurricane before weakening to a tropical storm across Georgia.It has caused three deaths, inflicted widespread property damage and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people from Florida to Virginia.Since sea levels have risen to a foot because of global warming, the storm surges pushed by Hermine could be even more damaging, climate scientists say."We are already experiencing more and more flooding due to climate cha...

Monday, June 06, 2016Lauren Brown, Molly’s mom, said she’s been “stressing” about the urn. It could have come from anywhere along the seaboard. Might have even been tossed off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel by someone passing through.“I mean, this is a big deal, if you think about it,” Lauren Brown said. “It’s bizarre that we have somebody’s ashes on our property, and we have no idea who they are or what to do with it.”Law enforcement has no interest in found cremains. Neither do medical examiners. In some states they’ll accept them, put a notice in the newspaper and keep them for a period of time.Not in Virginia, said Donna Price of the state Medical Examiner’s Office in Norfolk: “It’s just not something we do.”Funeral homes are authorized to dispose of unclaimed cremains, but few are willing to dispatch found ones in case relatives turn up later, said Mike Nicodemus of the Virginia Funeral Directors Association.“It’s such a litigious society,” he said. “You’d have this well-meaning funeral home – and here comes some attorney.”Lynne Helnick, deputy executive director for the state Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers, said folks who stumble upon cremains have “no legal obligation to do anything. Cremains are considered the final disposition. People can do anything they feel is right. I know it’s a sensitive thing, though. It can be traumatic.”Molly thinks it might be fitting to return the urn to the creek, but her grandpa doesn’t want to see it “kicked pillar to post.”If No. 7205’s family doesn’t step forward, Doc Brown will shoulder a shovel and bury the urn on his farm. Somewhere between the pecan grove, flower beds, chicken coop, soybean field.“End of journey,” Brown said.There are worse places to come to rest.

Neither do medical examiners. In some states they’ll accept them, put a notice in the newspaper and keep them for a period of time.Not in Virginia, said Donna Price of the state Medical Examiner’s Office in Norfolk: “It’s just not something we do.”Funeral homes are authorized to dispose of unclaimed cremains, but few are willing to dispatch found ones in case relatives turn up later, said Mike Nicodemus of the Virginia Funeral Directors Association.“It’s such a litigious society,” he said. “You’d have this well-meaning funeral home – and here comes some attorney.”Lynne Helnick, deputy executive director for the state Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers, said folks who stumble upon cremains have “no legal obligation to do anything. Cremains are considered the final disposition. People can do anything they feel is right. I know it’s a sensitive thing, though. It can be traumatic.”Molly thinks it might be fitting to return the urn to the creek, but her grandpa doesn’t want to see it “kicked pillar to post.”If No. 7205’s family doesn’t step forward, Doc Brown will shoulder a shovel and bury the urn on his farm. Somewhere between the pecan grove, flower beds, chicken coop, soybean field.“End of journey,” Brown said.There are worse places to come to rest.
