	Church Still Hasn't Gotten the Message Brockton Enterprise [United States] May 14, 2006 http://enterprise.southofboston.com/articles/2006/05/13/news/opinion/opinion01.txt Thumbs up! To Judge Robert A. Mulligan, chief justice for administration and management, for banning T-shirts bearing the "No Snitching" or "Stop Snitching" message from courthouses in the state as part of an effort to curb witness intimidation. The courts are sending a clear message to gang members — and anyone who seeks to prevent justice from being done — that intimidation will not be tolerated. Thumbs up! To Julie Taylor and her fiance, George Lea, who found a long-lost diamond engagement ring while gardening in their backyard and returned it to the 67-year-old widow who lost it 20 years earlier. Helen Miller was gardening in the backyard of her home when her engagement ring slipped off her finger many years ago. Though Miller searched for it annually, she never found it. She never replaced the ring and her husband, Bill, died in 1997. Miller then moved to Norton. The new owners of the home, Taylor and Lea, were out in the yard replanting spring flowers and cutting branches when Lea cut into part of a barbed-wire fence. "He dropped the chain saw and there right on top where I had dug up daffodils was the ring," Taylor said. Thumbs up! To Christopher Cogswell, who was recognized by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission for saving the life of a 36-year-old man when he pulled the victim from a burning car outside his Hanson home. The Pittsburgh-based group awarded Cogswell a bronze medal and $4,000. He is one of 16 people to be honored for heroism. The award was established in 1904 by industrialist Andrew Carnegie to recognize courage under extreme conditions. In 2004, Cogswell rescued Wilton Wetter of Plymouth after his car went over an embankment and exploded on Oct. 21, 2004. Thumbs up! To Joe Petrowski, a former Brockton man who is doing his part to ease pain at the gas pump. The chief executive of Chelsea-based Gulf Oil L.P., says the price caps and price locks have become popular among heating oil companies and he wants customers at his Gulf stations to have the same opportunity to lock in prices. Petrowski grew up on North Montello Street and attended St. Edward School before going to Boston College High School.
