There are a couple of words that some people constantly misuse that really get under my skin. I’m not talking about common grammatical mistakes. I’m talking about taking simple words and distorting their meaning to the point where they become almost meaningless.
Those two words are “hero” and “patriot.”
Over the years, I have given a number of speeches focusing on the subject of heroes. To me, a hero is someone who does something extraordinary, at great risk to themselves, for the benefit of someone else.
When Worcester lost six brave firefighters who rushed into a burning building in search of a homeless couple, I asked that all of the students in the public schools write essays about the true meaning of heroism. I was overwhelmed by the beautiful and touching responses that I was privileged to read.
Domenic Paldino, who once handed out $100 bills in Worcester, gunned down in Costa Rica
Domenic Paldino, a Worcester native whose generosity became clear around Christmas, when he handed out $100 bills to shoppers, was shot to death in Costa Rica last week.
Paldino, 57, was gunned down while visiting a female friend, allegedly by a former partner of the woman.
Raised with his three siblings on Grafton Hill in Worcester, Paldino was a successful businessman who got great satisfaction from sharing his wealth and his smile. His main thing was giving back to people who weren t as fortunate as he was, said Mark Paldino, Domenic s brother.
WORCESTER Standing in a socially distanced line outside the Jean McDonough Arts Center on Franklin Street, the tassel on Olivia Sawicki s Assumption University graduation cap flew in the breeze. Behind her, Devin Skinner was clad in a Go Piff Academy sweatshirt from his clothing line.
The two look nothing alike and have had completely different lives, but Worcester, the common thread, is special to them both, and their faces will now be part of the I Am Worcester project. I Am Worcester is gathering photographs through the Worcester Cultural Development, that department s Program Assistant Yaffa Fain explained, as residents and fans of the city waited to be photographed Saturday.
