City Council members, fellow court officials, department heads, local community commanders plus activists, girls and gentlemen great evening in addition to thanks a ton to get signing up for me for my 2012 State of the City address. Today is definitely March 15, the "Ides associated with March" inside Roman calendar, your particular date built known throughout Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. I are not aware of whenever do you beneficial omen, as well as I'm not superstitious, nonetheless it should give me an inducement to keep my own visitors pleased simply by trying to keep this speech short. I has been reflecting before in which merely a calendar month past today, a new tragedy unfolded in your private Hyde Park a bed that illustrates your resiliency associated with the connection most of us have got as a new community of PEOPLE. A 70-year-old person seemed to be going for walks his or her several dearest golden retrievers whenever one played about the the rocks that experienced formed upon Hyde Park Lake. The man chased right after this dog, dropped through the ice, and in some cases after your valiant energy in order to save him, had been noticable deceased simply just three hours later from drowning. But actually in which pretty unhappy event, we observed glimpses involving kindness as well as courage. There had been town firefighters, qualified to meet up with harm's approach to help others, exactly who risked his or her life simply by going out on the iced river to test to save him. Even once they had been drawn from the very cold water, the particular firefighters travelled back to make certain no one different have eliminated under. In a universe where it has come to be simply also popular for passers-by to "not need to get involved," a couple of youthful children acquired the particular decency plus company of mind for you to promptly telephone 911 whenever these people spotted the accident happen. And and then there was the particular family that family members of an firefighter, I could possibly add that opted to help adopt the actual three dogs following his or her manager seemed to be lost.
