Honoring Service of Military Chaplains on the 250th birthday of the United States Army

June 13, 2025 // by admin

Chaplains of wide background of faith groups have served the soldiers of the US Army since Day 1 in 1775. They have been in the trenches and on the battlefields alongside the soldiers they served at every step of the fight.

“As we commemorate the 250th birthday of the United States Army, I call on President Trump to approve the long-overdue update to the Chaplain’s Hill monuments at Arlington National Cemetery, so we can add names of chaplains who died in Korea, Vietnam, Cold War, Iraq and Afghanistan not already presented”

That’s Capt. (R) Doyle Dunn USN, Executive Director, National Conference on Ministry to the Armed Forces (NCMAF), who adds,

“This will stand as a meaningful and powerful tribute honoring the legacy of chaplains across generations, from all branches of our military—those who faithfully served both God and country, those who gave their lives in that sacred service.”

A long-standing effort to add 81 names to the Protestant and Catholic Memorials on Chaplains Hill on Section 2 of Arlington National Cemetery led by NCMAF has been endorsed by many national veterans and military support organizations. NCMAF’s membership is comprised of nearly 150 religious organizations who endorse military and Veterans Affairs chaplains. Captain Dunn noted:

“This is a non-partisan project with bipartisan support and two Congressional legislative actions calling for it to be done. It is time for the President to approve this tribute slated for Arlington National Cemetery”

The enhancement of the Chaplains Hill Memorials has been endorsed by the American Legion Executive Committee, the Association of the US Army, the Vietnam Veterans of America, the Navy League Council of NY.

Congress included specific direction in the National Defense Authorization Acts of 2021 and 2022 signed by President to update the Chaplains Hill Monuments. This legislation received staunch support from both sides of the aisle. The bills provided authority for NCMAF authority to upgrade these monuments.

In 2011, the National Conference on Ministry to the Armed Forces (NCMAF) led the effort to obtain Congressional approval to erect a monument to Jewish chaplains on Arlington Cemetery section two dedicated on Oct. 24th with nearly 1000 on hand for dedication

NCMAF then proposed to upgrade the Protestant Memorial with a granite headstone, replacing a crumbling concrete headstone and making a new bronze plaque that included the majority of the chaplain’s names who died in service not already named.

Several names of Catholic chaplains who died in service during Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts are also proposed to be added to the Catholic Chaplains Monument.

The project will be entirely paid for by private sources.

This committee has diligently, respectfully, and repeatedly presented plans to Arlington National Cemetery officials, without receiving approval to proceed. Yet, no action has been taken to update the monuments.

NCMAF has the financing and materials to update the monument at no cost to the Government or Arlington Cemetery. It would replace the aging concrete Protestant Chaplains Monument with a new granite piece in the same shape and size as the current one. The Dignity Memorial Company has agreed to donate the new granite monument and provide installation.

The National Conference on Ministry to the Armed Forces (NCMAF) is the umbrella organization for 150 U.S. faith groups and the professional clergy representatives who endorse Military and V.A. chaplains. It has erected several monuments on Chaplains Hill in Arlington National Cemetery honoring chaplains who have perished while in our Nation’s service. During the last 75 years, monuments were placed to honor Roman Catholic and Jewish chaplains, reflecting the ongoing sacrifice of these warriors of faith.

Home Care Service Providers Concerned by Stalled FY25 Supplemental Funds

June 5, 2025 // by admin

BROCKTON AND PLYMOUTH, MA… Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), one of 27 Aging Services Access Points (ASAPs) and Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, shares deep concern as critical funding for home care services remains stalled in the legislature awaiting final approval and passage.

OCES is the largest provider of in-home and community-based services for older adults and people living with disabilities in Southeastern Massachusetts.

First proposed by Governor Healey in a supplemental budget filed in early April, this $60 million allocation would alleviate the considerable fiscal challenges being confronted by ASAPs across the state due to substantial deficits in key home care accounts and ensure that the ASAPs are provided with the funding necessary to purchase home and community-based services, according to Mass Aging Access (formerly known as Mass Home Care).

As the ASAP network awaits further legislative action, a $60 million deficit for the final month of FY25 puts ongoing home care services at risk and creates severe cash flow issues going into FY26.

“We are grateful for the months of conversations with our partners in the Executive Office of Aging and Independence and the Executive Office of Health and Human Services that pushed this funding out of the Governor’s office,” said Betsey Crimmins, Executive Director of Mass Aging Access. “However, our network remains extremely concerned by the compounding challenges caused by the current budget deficit. Our member agencies must continue to provide the critical services individuals need each and every day, while also making payments to our home care agency partners who employ the direct care workers – but this is not sustainable without additional cash flow. We urge immediate passage of this funding to ensure that ASAPs can continue to provide services and pay their providers without interruption.”

“We are very concerned that home care services which include home delivered meals, personal care, homemaking and behavioral health programs may be jeopardized without additional funding,” said Nicole Long, CEO. “These are vital daily services that support the independence and dignity of older adults and individuals with disabilities in our communities.”

OCES joins with Mass Aging Access in the call for urgent passage of the $60 million in supplemental funding to the home care purchase of services line-item that would reduce unnecessary strain and challenges for essential home care providers across the state. These services are proven to be a fraction of the cost for nursing home stays that maintain the dignity, independence, and safety of Massachusetts’ older adults. This funding is key to the continued stability, consistency, and reliability of these key providers and services.

About OCES
OCES is recognized as one of the 2023 and 2024 Best Places to Work by Cape & Plymouth Business Marketing. OCES has been certified as a woman non-profit organization (W/NPO) by the Supplier Diversity Office (SDO). For more than 50 years, OCES has been a private, nonprofit organization with locations in Brockton and Plymouth. OCES is designated as one of 27 Aging Services Access Points (ASAPs) and Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and proudly serves Plymouth County and surrounding communities.

Through the talent of an experienced and diverse workforce, OCES supports the independence and dignity of older adults and individuals with disabilities by providing essential information and services that promote healthy, safe living which positively impacts our community. The agency offers several programs to serve older adults, individuals with disabilities, their families, and caregivers. For more information call 508-584-1561 or visit ocesma.org

“Keeping it Fresh” with Ovtene. Introducing the Future of Sustainable Food Packaging.

May 20, 2025 // by admin

Goni, the general manager at Salumeria Italiana in Boston, slices prosciutto and places it in a tidy single layer on customized ByOvtene deli package system. Once a row is complete, the film sides are brought up to neatly cover the meat – and keep it fresher, longer – before the product is folded in thirds and their label attached.

MARION, MA… Food packaging, in general, is not a glamorous item or a trending topic. Until now.

Introducing Ovtene, the next generation of sustainable food packaging solutions.

Designed to keep food fresher for a longer period of time, Ovtene is the first food packaging to restrict the growth of bacteria.
Traditional plastic alternatives are made of 100 percent polyethylene.

Ovtene food packaging has a unique physical structure primarily composed of calcium carbonate and other trace minerals. This reduces the amount of plastic used by 60 percent while conserving resources and reducing waste. Ovtene food packaging is 100 percent recyclable, BPA free, and no trees or water are used in manufacturing.

“Ovtene packaging technology is inspired by nature to extend the quality and characteristics of food products,” explained Salvatore Giglia, Principal. “Ovtene creates a microclimate for food, similar to that of an eggshell. Essentially, it creates a barrier from second level bacteria which ensures the food has a longer shelf life.”
Ovtene is FDA and USDA compliant. The innovative packaging is breathable, yet repels water and grease. It is also washable and reuseable. Ovtene extends the life of deli meats, cheeses, fresh meat, seafood, produce and baked goods.

Created by a collaboration of three food science universities in Italy, Ovtene food packaging meets Europe’s strict regulations. Ovtene is a company based in Italy, with recent expansion to the U.S. and a North America base in Marion, MA.

Ovtene caters to retailers, distributors and consumers buying direct. Ovtene offers products for all major requirements of food packaging counters – available in a variety of shapes, sizes, thicknesses, sheets, rolls or bags. Custom print options showcase professional brand. Utilized by many specialty and gourmet food markets, delis, retail locations, fish markets and bakeries, Ovtene’s packaging options include Ovtene Rolls, OvteneZero Sheets, BYOVTENE Deli Sheets and Retail Ovtene Bag and Sheets.

Sharon Jorgensen, Principal and Vice President/North American operations noted greater savings and less food waste for consumers who use Ovtene packaging. “A family of four may save an average of $3,500 annually by choosing Ovtene to store their deli items and other perishables. Ovtene extends the shelf life which essentially reduces food waste due to premature spoilage. Not only that, Ovtene packaging is washable, reusable and 100 percent recyclable, thereby reducing packaging waste.”

She continued, “For example, Ovtene’s state-of-the-art food packaging keeps Parmesan fresh for six to nine months. Prosciutto, smoked salmon, gourmet butter and organic foods stay fresher, longer.”

Award Nominee
BYOVTENE, one of Ovtene’s revolutionary food packaging products, has been nominated for this year’s Deli Business Innovation Award. BYOVTENE, which in Italian, means “try Ovtene”, is a revolutionary film specifically designed to maintain the organoleptic characteristics of food.

BYOVTENE trifold deli systems require minimal counter space and the patented box is specifically designed to distribute individual smooth sheets for quick, simple and efficient wrapping of a variety of deli foods. The innovative packaging film maintains the integrity of deli, cheese and smoked fish items even as it is wrapped and unwrapped repeatedly by the consumer.

Deli Business magazine awards will be announced at the Specialty Food Association’s Fancy Food Show held June 29-July 1, 2025 at Javits Center, New York City. Learn more about the awards and cast your vote by visiting https://delibusiness.com/next-gen-deli/

About Ovtene
More than 150 million sheets and bags of Ovtene® are used each day in Italy, Europe and North America in supermarkets, grocery and specialty stores, delis, butchers, fish markets, bakeries, florists, restaurants, retailers and food producers. Ovtene sustainable food packaging is 100 percent recyclable and keeps food fresher, longer through its unique physical structure.

March Against Elder Abuse events are part of OCES’ WEAAD campaign. These critical events aim to raise awareness about the devastating impacts of elder abuse and promote a safer, more supportive environment for older adults in our community.

“One in 10 older adults aged 60+ have experienced some form of elder abuse according to the National Center on Elder Abuse,” said Teresa Kourtz, LSW, MSG, OCES’ Protective Services Director. “Elder abuse is known as a ‘silent problem’. It is estimated that only 1 in 14 cases are reported, which is why raising awareness of elder abuse and its signs are so important.”

Join the Movement
In addition to March Against Elder Abuse events, other ways to get involved include: sponsorship of these events; sharing educational materials with your networks to raise awareness; and by making a donation to support OCES’ Protective Service Department in advocating for and assisting older adults.

Recognizing Elder Abuse
Elder abuse includes physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, neglect, self-neglect, and financial exploitation. According to the Massachusetts Executive Office of Aging and Independence, 43,617 elder abuse reports were received during Fiscal Year 2024.

OCES’ Protective Services Program staff works with older adults, or their designees, to prevent, eliminate, or remedy situations involving elder abuse.
