When you make a sacrifice and serve your community you receive a commodity that can never be purchased. It can only be earned. It comes from service to OTHERS and sacrifice of self. A calm, quiet feeling in your heart and your soul is where Humility is born. And with Humility comes the real long lasting ability to Lead Others. My BLOG will inspire, educate and give a Voice to the People.

SHAMROCK RUN A FAMILY AFFAIR
The day was next to perfect and the Annual Shamrock Run and Parade was a celebration to remember. I must extend KUDOS to Mr. Robert Ryan and TEAM for organizing a race that went off without a problem. This takes stellar leadership and dedication to our community. For many years I have always run the race with my four children Robin, Daniel, Jared and Jessica but today I ran solo. I was number 3147 when I registered today at 11:30 AM. I was so impressed with our youth and their energy at the race today. Many of the area schools had teams that ran in the race. Edson Elementary School and Miller Middle School won trophies. The gentleman that won the trip to Ireland had number 3145 and my number was just two numbers higher. Oh well there is always next year and the thrill of the day will remain with me for many weeks to come. See you all at the Annual Classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Richard Cahill claims on his blog he ran the Shamrock Run??? What was your number Cahill?? Were you at the post race party when they announced the trip to Ireland. You had to have a number to win????? Answer your public.........
Hey Cahill what was your time in the Shamrock Run????? Did you beat Jean Jacobs with your time? She is the true leader and you are just a wana bee. She has style and class something you are lacking. She looks you directly in the EYE. By By Richard
What's the matter, Rich.. the bookie got your number?
Hi Ms Jacobs: You are the true example of a LEADER. I saw you running in the race YESTERDAY and BRAVO to you. I miss your weekly talk show Jacobs Live People for People. You should be an anchor woman. You always had such class and style and I thank you for always CARING for your community. I look forward to your return to the TV airways. The people need you.

I am a long time fan of yours Jean and would hope that you consider running for Mayor in 2011. You are a shinning star and have always and forever been an advocate and a voice for the people. Honesty is your MOTTO. You have my VOTE
My number was 3481 and my time was 18:30. Any other questions??
We have a question Ms. Jacobs: Durng your day at the Shamrock Race did you see any members of the City Republican Party looking for candidates to run in the November 2009 election? This would have been a perfect day to recruit candidates and mingle with the Citizens of Kingston. Can you report back on this question? We look forward to hearing from you.

Who saw Rich Cahill run the race? Raise your hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on Rich! We all know you didn't run in the race. You went home for lunch to get a number from someone so you could cover your tracks to support all that bull you put on your baloney blog. No one saw you and you never left the house.
I can end the drama. I saw him. He was wearing navy blue shorts and one of the shirts the Hibernians were giving out.
I was on the corner of West O'Reilly and Broadway. I've known Rich (or Rick as I call him) for 30 years. He grew up down the street from me.
His parents and wife were near that intersection waving to him.
I also saw you Ms. Jacobs. You were wearing brown ankle length pants. You came along some time after Rick did, but I thought you were doing very well too.
