Earlier this summer, I had the honor of adjourning the
Senate in memory of Rowley’s own Nick George — a decorated Marine Corps
veteran, Purple Heart recipient, and devoted community member.
Following that adjournment order, my Chief of Staff, A.J.
Paglia, had the privilege of presenting it to Nick’s son, Brian, at a recent
Rowley Selectmen’s meeting.
As A.J. said that evening: “Brian, it’s a distinct pleasure
for me to present this on behalf of Senator Tarr. Your father meant a lot to
this community, and his contributions will never be forgotten.”
Nick’s life was one of courage, service, and love for his
family and community. His legacy will live on as an inspiration to all of us.

'Water service restored in Boxford neighborhood'
By Jill Harmacinski | The
Salem News
EXCERPTS BELOW:
"“There is nothing more basic than water. If you don’t
have water, your house is uninhabitable ... This was a significant hardship for
the families,” said state Sen. Bruce Tarr, R-Gloucester, who has worked for
years with area residents on the water issues. Members of his staff delivered
water to the neighborhood last week.
Tarr, who worked with state Rep. Tram Nguyen, D-Andover, on
the Andrews Farm situation, said he called Healey directly and asked for help.
She personally got involved and issued the emergency water declaration on
Wednesday evening, he said.
“I am extremely grateful for the collaboration that happened
here,” said Tarr, noting the water issues have a “long history.”"
AND
""While water has been restored for the time
being, Tarr said the future of the Andrews Farm Water Company is still unclear
and will need to be dealt with.
“The question is, ‘What happens next?’" he said.
Addressing the issue requires those at the state, local and
neighborhood levels, he noted.
“We all worked together. I am relieved, happy and
appreciative,” he said."

Happy 78th Birthday to the United States Air Force!
Since its establishment on September 18, 1947, the U.S. Air
Force has stood as a symbol of courage, innovation, and service. Generations of
Airmen have defended our skies, advanced aviation, and safeguarded our freedoms
with dedication and honor.
Today, we salute the men and women of the Air Force — past,
present, and future — for their sacrifice and commitment to protecting our
nation.
