(CNBNewsnet)SPICER Minnesota(July 30, 2017,—The community ofSpicer, Minnesota has renamed a public park after resident Edward Pirrotta who led a group of volunteers from that community to reconstruct the facility. Pirrotta was raised in Camden City and Gloucester City. He graduated fromGloucester Catholic High School, class of 1963. Ed passed away in 2013 at the age of 69 from cancer.
The West Central Tribune said Pirrotta was the kind of man who could see the skills and good intentions in a person and help coax those gifts out in ways that will live on in the Spicer city park for years.
"He had the ability to reach out to everyone and make everyone feel so important and their work was so important," said Mary Wohnoutka, a member of the Spicer beautification committee.
Ed Pirrotta was the kind of man who could see the skills and good intentions in a person and help coax those gifts out in ways that will live on in the Spicer city park for years.
That was followed by Pirrotta leading volunteers to construct a gazebo in 2008 and the Lion's picnic shelter in 2010. He helped direct construction of a deck at the park overlooking Green Lake in 2012 — while battling cancer — until he became too ill to continue.

Happiness and Well-Being
"The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means and the exercise of ordinary qualities. The common life of every day, with its cares, necessities, and duties, affords ample opportunity for acquiring experience of the best kind; and its most beaten paths provide the true worker with abundant scope for effort and room for self-improvement. The road of human welfare lies along the old highway of steadfast well-doing; and they who are the most persistent, and work in the truest spirit, will usually be the most successful."Self-Help - Samuel Smiles

Many will remember, with probably some surprise, that former President George W. Bush decided to take up painting in his retirement. It started off with some paintings of small animals that most people thought were "cute", likely thinking that he wouldn't progress far beyond that, but with his wife Laura's encouragement and the training provided by some fine teachers, he's gone far beyond that, and not simply as an improved painter. He set out a mission for himself and by my observation, he has done a lot of good in accomplishing it.

BROOKLAWN, NJ (CNBNewsnet)—The Alice Costello Elementary School (ACES) was one of this year’s winners of the Philadelphia Phillies Phanatic About Reading program. The Phillie Phanatic is the star of children's books and as a result has turned his love of reading into the exciting Phanatic About Reading program presented by Comcast.
Studies have shown that children who are encouraged to read items of their own choosing tend to spend more time reading independently, and as a result, their literacy scores improve. Founded in 2004, the program encourages students to read for a minimum of 15 minutes a day to improve their literacy skills. Each year teachers in the South Jersey and Philadelphia area are encouraged to enroll their classrooms and join the nearly 40,000 students already reading with the Phanatic!
