A testing track for robots
will be created, the result of
a recent unanimous Planning
Board vote which approved a
site plan for 33 Second Ave.,
one of two buildings which
house the iRobot business,"
notes the Burlington edition
of the "Daily Times
Chronicle."
"This is a company which
recently received national
publicity due to its develop-
ment of a circular robot (not
the four-limbed, 'Lost in
Space' type), a machine
which can clean carpets and
floors on its own.
"iRobot has space at
buildings at 63 and 33 Second
Ave. in Northwest Park; at 63
Second Ave, the bulk of the
iRobot business is conducted.
"The applicant is the
Gutierrez Co., which owns
both properties.
The approval is for a por-
tion of the building at 33
Second Ave., a 3000-square-
foot section which will be
used entirely as a testing
track for robots. They will
run around and be tested for
efficiency.
'"We purchased this prop-
erty (63 Second Ave.) several
years ago,' said Gutierrez Co.
Project Manager Keith
Taylor. 'This (33 Second Ave.)
is to the immediate right of
this building.'
"'So it is a test track for
robots?' asked Planning
Board member Paul
Raymond. 'I just want it to
be clear'
"Taylor answered yes, say-
ing, 'You have to let robots
run around if they are going
to clean your house.'
"Thomas Illsley, repre-
senting iRobot, said the 3000
square, feet would be
arranged in 'a house layout
environment.'
"The approval was grant-
ed with little discussion...."

Local Artist Monica Ursino
chosen to perform at World
Youth Day in Germany
Christian artist Monica Ursino who recently appeared on Barry Nolan's
Nitebeat and also performed at this year's Proud2BCatholic Music Festival
has been chosen to perform her original hits at World Youth Day in XX
Germany August 17th, 2005. Monica is a struggling artist, however, she Worid Youth Day
says that her mission is quite clear and her goal is focused. She believes Cobfiit aoos
that she has the basic essentials needed to succeed
in her endeavor which are, faith & prayer. She says,
"With God all things are possible and if it is HIS WILL,
then THE WAY CAFE" (her business name) will be a
success!" Monica, like many young adults was a
rebel and a skeptic until the day came when she had
to make a choice. One of her tracks on her CD THE
WAY is called Lost at Sea and was inspired by this
struggle and the choices one makes in life to take the
road less traveled. Her song The Way (which made
top hits in Malta) talks about the search for true love
which everyone in the worid searches for and
parallels this love to the love that God has for us,
which is unconditional. The Way can be interpreted
by the listener in a couple of different ways, making it
a unique composition. Also, her song Two Tablets
touches a very controversial issue and was written in
defense of Alabama's Chief Justice Moore's battle in
defending the 10 Commandment Monuments. This
song is a confirmation that we need moral laws in
order to presecve a civilized society. Yes, she is a
courageous young lady with a unique sound!
Please show your support by visiting her website and Monica with Archbishop Sean O'Malley
purchasing her CD THE WAY at MonicaUrsino.com 3t. Johns seminary 7/31/05

"Town Meeting-took an
important' step recently
toward-reducing one of the
'drivers' of what has become
an annual structural deficit
in the town budget," notes
the Winchester edition of the

"Admittedly, the monetary
impact of the negotiated
changes in funding benefits
is relatively small, but
according to Personnel
Board chairman Robert Joy,
it was a 'step in the right
direction.'
"The motions approved by
Town Meeting cover adjust-
ments or revisions of wages
and salaries for fiscal years
2004 and 2005 for the
'Winchester Police Superior
Officers Association,

subject to collective bargain-
ing agreements, as well as
salary and wage adjustments

to come from the fiscal 2006
budget under Article 9.
"Motion 1 called for the
transfer of $85,105 from unal-
located personnel services to
the fiscal 2005 police budget
for the first and second years
of a three-year contract with
the patrolmen. The third
year is to be funded out of
the fiscal 2006 budget. The
funds had been put into the
accounts by Town Meeting in
anticipation of contract set-
tlements.
"The contracts call for
employees' contributions for

vidual plans to increase from
10% to 15%, Harvard Pilgrim

ual plan to increase from
10% to 15%, and HPHC fami-

lar transfer to fund the first
and second years of the
Police Superior Officers
agreement, totally some
$58,902. The third year is to
be funded out of fiscal 2006
spending.
"Motion 3 was a similar
transfer in the amount of
