NOW, MORE THAN EVER, WE NEED ED MARKEY IN THE U.S. SENATE

In 1955, then-U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy authored his famous book, Profiles in Courage, in which he wrote brief vignettes about eight U.S. Senators who took unpop- ular actions during the course of their careers, placing the good of the country above their own political fortunes. Kennedy begins Profiles in Courage with this sentence, “This is a book about that most admirable of human virtues -- courage.” Whenever we look back at the career of Senator Edward J. Markey, courage is the one word that best describes his 46 years of service in public office. From the time that he served as a state representative from the City of Malden, Ed Markey never failed to ex- hibit political courage. As a young state rep, he took on the entrenched power of then-House Speaker Tom McGee. When Markey introduced a bill that McGee disfavored, McGee exacted his retribution by taking away Markey’s office space in the State House and placing his desk -- lit- erally -- in a hallway. When Ed ran for Congress in 1976 to succeed the late LETTER to the Editor Torbert Macdonald (who was a college roommate and close confidante of JFK), Ed’s signature tag line that made him stand out from the crowd of a dozen or so candidates SUPPORTS en that these services are BRAVO, TO OUR justice populations was this, “They may tell me where to sit,” he said, “but EDWARDS more essential than ever in LEGISLATURE Under the leadership the wake of the announce- of Speaker Robert DeLeo nobody tells me where to stand.” Dear Editor, Dear Editor, Markey did not have the support of the big politicians or ment that Winthrop public (D-Winthrop) and Rep. the big money interests in that campaign, but the voters of I strongly support Coun- schools will start fully re- All of us continue to Thomas what was then the 7th Congressional District recognized cilor Lydia Edward’s excel- motely this fall? struggle with the ugly and Golden (D-Lowell), that the 29 year-old Markey possessed what JFK identified lent recommendation that 3.

By Kate Anslinger

Last Wednesday, August 19th, the Senior Center held its annual summer BBQ for senior residents. While this event is held every summer, this year was different due to so- cial distancing requirements. Instead of a sit-down meal, seniors drove up to food stations to pick up their choice of hamburger or hotdog, chips and water. Members of the Winthrop Police Youth Academy volunteered their time to greet seniors, deliver meals, and setup the stations. A total of 85 meals were given out within the first half hour. The Winthrop Police Youth Academy is held for a week every August, led by Officer Samantha Faro Petersen.

Willow Hall and Joel John- son get ready to serve the seniors. Shown bove and below, Winthrop Youth Police Academy members volunteered at the annual senior BBQ.
