In the wake of several<br />

recent accidents<br />

proposals that<br />

EAST BROOKFIELD — With<br />

homes all over the country being<br />

foreclosed on, families are wondering<br />

where they next night be spent<br />

<strong>and</strong> what will happen to their pets.<br />

According to Sheryl Brackley,<br />

director of Second Chance Animal<br />

Shelter in East Brookfield, the<br />

answer to those questions is that<br />

most pets end up either given to or<br />

ab<strong>and</strong>oned at animal shelters.<br />

State revamps Open Meeting Law<br />

LOCAL OFFICIALS CRITIQUE CHANGES, TO TAKE EFFECT NEXT YEAR<br />

BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

Local officials have a little homework to<br />

do — boning up on the newly revamped<br />

Open Meeting Law.<br />

Several significant changes have been<br />

made to the law, which currently governs,<br />

among other things, how, when <strong>and</strong> what<br />

can be discussed at a meeting of a public<br />

body. The new changes were part of the<br />

ethics reform bill Gov. Deval Patrick signed<br />

recently. They take effect in 2010, according<br />

to the Massachusetts Municipal<br />

Association (MMA), a group that advocates<br />

for state communities.<br />

The new law moves enforcement of the<br />

statute to the state’s Attorney General<br />

(AG), <strong>and</strong> out of the h<strong>and</strong>s of the local district<br />

attorneys. It also clarifies how meetings<br />

of two bodies can be conducted,<br />

Quaboag settles lawsuit over school track<br />

after several years of litigation alleging the previous track was not constructed<br />

OFFICIALS EXPECT WORK<br />

TO BE DONE NEXT MONTH<br />

BY TERESA A. FRANCO<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

WARREN — After years of litigation, Quaboag Regional<br />

Middle/High School will soon be sporting a new feature.<br />

The school’s track field is being rebuilt. Ground was broken for<br />

construction on Wednesday, July 8, <strong>and</strong> district officials expect it<br />

to be done before the start of the school year next month.<br />

Until then, Quaboag Director of Finance <strong>and</strong> Operations Joseph<br />

Scanlon urged local residents who use the track to “make alternate<br />

plans until construction is complete.”<br />

The original track that was built in 2002 by J&J Construction<br />

<strong>and</strong> Consigli Construction, remained untouched because, according<br />

to Scanlon, it was “poorly constructed” <strong>and</strong> had uneven <strong>and</strong><br />

unleveled spots.<br />

The lawsuit the district filed also included Mount Vernon<br />

COMMITTEE FORMED TO COORDINATE POSSIBLE FALL FESTIVAL<br />

BY DAVID DORE<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

NORTH BROOKFIELD — Both<br />

drainage <strong>and</strong> the overall condition<br />

of Old East Brookfield Road<br />

should improve in a couple of<br />

weeks, once the street is widened<br />

<strong>and</strong> rebuilt.<br />

The project should start July<br />

20, end around July 30 <strong>and</strong><br />

include closing one lane at a time<br />

<strong>and</strong> “possibly detours,” Highway<br />

Superintendent Gary Jean told<br />

selectmen <strong>and</strong> interested residents<br />

Tuesday, July 7.<br />

According to Jean, Old East<br />

Brookfield Road will be widened<br />

to 20 feet, reconstructed <strong>and</strong><br />

repaved from Lincoln Street to<br />

North Street. The roadway will<br />

be paved one lane at a time the<br />

week of July 27.<br />

At the same time, the highway<br />

superintendent said, drainage<br />

will be upgraded so runoff does<br />

not end up in people’s driveways,<br />

<strong>and</strong> trees will be trimmed.<br />

“It’s going to be in a lot better<br />

shape than it was previously,”<br />

Jean said.<br />

last week’s selectmen’s meeting<br />

wondered if speeding will<br />

become more of an issue once<br />

the project is complete.<br />

“That’s always an issue when<br />

we pave a road, people move it,”<br />

Jean replied.<br />

He added that new street signs,<br />

including speed limit signs,<br />

would be installed to “give more<br />

of a heads up <strong>and</strong> give police an<br />

opportunity to do something<br />

[about speeders].”<br />

The reconstruction of Old<br />

East Brookfield Road is one of<br />

three projects to be funded with<br />

$240,140 in road construction aid<br />

from the state. No timetable has<br />

been announced for the other<br />

two projects: Lincoln Street,<br />

from Old East Brookfield Road to<br />

Ward Street, <strong>and</strong> Summer Street,<br />

from North Main Street to Union<br />

Street.<br />

Jean urged anyone with concerns<br />

about the Old East<br />

Brookfield Road project as it proceeds<br />

to call the Highway<br />

Department at (508) 867-0213 <strong>and</strong><br />

ask for either him or Tim.<br />

FALL FESTIVAL VOLUNTEERS<br />

Picking up an idea voiced at a<br />

previous selectmen’s meeting,<br />

Richard Dupre Jr. wrote a letter<br />

to selectmen last<br />

week offering his<br />

services for a committee<br />

to “bring community<br />

back to the town”<br />

through a Fall<br />

Festival.<br />

Selectmen last<br />

week formed a Fall<br />

Festival Committee<br />

<strong>and</strong> promptly named<br />

Dupre chairman.<br />

“I, <strong>and</strong> others, feel<br />

the time is ripe to<br />

hold a Fall Festival,<br />

to showcase the goodwill<br />

of the town, <strong>and</strong><br />

to bring its residents<br />

out to meet <strong>and</strong> be entertained<br />

with <strong>and</strong> by each other,” Dupre<br />

wrote. “We can [hearken] back to<br />

the days of yore with a fall festival<br />

showcasing our bountiful<br />

harvests from our orchards <strong>and</strong><br />

other fall crops, hold musical<br />

events, <strong>and</strong> have a beer/wine<br />

pavilion to enjoy a fall day.”<br />

The centerpiece, Dupre suggested,<br />

would be a “Barn Dance<br />

Under the Stars” on the town<br />

common.<br />

“We’re looking to make this a<br />

town-wide event,” said<br />

Selectman Robert Filipkowski.<br />

“The only way we can do this is<br />

to have a strong committee.”<br />

He then urged anyone interested<br />

in joining the committee to<br />

send a letter of interest to the<br />

selectmen’s office soon so something<br />

can be held this fall.<br />

Municipal departments will<br />

soon have to let Town<br />

Accountant Nancy Nykiel know<br />

when they are about to spend<br />

money from their budgets in an<br />

effort to better track what is<br />

being spent.<br />

The plan to be implemented<br />

starting Aug. 1 (depending on<br />

when the paperwork to be filled<br />

out is finalized) is a modified<br />

version of the purchase order<br />

system used by some businesses.<br />

Instead of submitting a purchase<br />

order to a company from<br />

which a good or service is being<br />

ordered, department heads will<br />

fill out what Finance Committee<br />

member Robert Smith called an<br />

“encumbrance request form” so<br />

Nykiel can put the money aside<br />

for later payment.<br />

Smith said implementing a<br />

purchase order system at this<br />

time “would not be realistic,”<br />

adding later, “We never intended<br />

to go into that level of detail.”<br />

According to Smith, emergencies<br />

would be exempt from the<br />

rule, but department heads<br />

would have to fill out an encumbrance<br />

request form after the<br />

money is spent.<br />

The idea for the<br />

encumbrance<br />

request system<br />

came from the<br />

process of making<br />

up nearly $100,000<br />

in mid-year state<br />

aid cuts several<br />

months ago. Smith<br />

said some department<br />

heads who<br />

said their budgets<br />

had extra money in<br />

them had actually<br />

spend the funds —<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Finance<br />

Committee <strong>and</strong><br />

Gary Jean<br />

Nykiel were not<br />

aware of it.<br />

Selectman Mary Walter said<br />

department leaders would continue<br />

to fill out anticipated<br />

spending reports, which are<br />

reviewed every month by her<br />

board, so town officials know<br />

what is being spent ahead of<br />

time.<br />

STIPENDS FOR LPAC’ERS<br />

The people behind the North<br />

Brookfield Local Public Access<br />

Channel (LPAC) cameras at<br />

School Committee <strong>and</strong> Board of<br />

Selectmen meetings will now be<br />

paid up to $30 for their work.<br />

Mike Tillotson, LPAC co-chairman,<br />

asked selectmen last month<br />

to approve his board’s request<br />

for stipends for people who operate<br />

the camera <strong>and</strong> work at the<br />

studio. According to<br />

Filipkowski,<br />

Charter<br />

Communications (which provides<br />

funding for LPAC through<br />

a fee charged to North<br />

Brookfield cable customers) did<br />

not object to the money being<br />

used for stipends.<br />

Tillotson told selectmen in<br />

March that LPAC, which operates<br />

Channels 11-13, is running<br />

out of volunteers, <strong>and</strong> he hoped<br />

the stipend would encourage<br />

new people to join the group.<br />

Volunteers who tape selectmen’s<br />

meetings would receive<br />

$20, while School Committee<br />

meetings would pay $30. LPAC<br />

member <strong>and</strong> cameraman Paul<br />

Leblanc told the board that<br />

School Committee meetings are<br />

usually longer than selectmen’s<br />

meetings. Selectmen usually<br />

hold business meetings every<br />

other week, while the school<br />

board meets once a month.<br />

• SPENCER NEW LEADER 3<br />

Marcel ready to end his last mission<br />

BY DAVID DORE<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

LEICESTER — The love that<br />

Veterans’ Agent Francis J.<br />

Marcel Jr. has for his job can be<br />

seen all over his office.<br />

It starts with the uniforms<br />

from World War II <strong>and</strong> Vietnam<br />

(including his own uniform from<br />

the five years he spent in the<br />

post-World War II Army) <strong>and</strong><br />

continues with the photos of<br />

Marcel as a military policeman<br />

<strong>and</strong> some of the people he has<br />

helped since 2002. He even has<br />

toy green Army men sprinkled<br />

around the room he uses at<br />

Town Hall.<br />

Despite having what he called<br />

“the most gratifying job I’ve ever<br />

had,” Marcel has decided to step<br />

aside as veterans’ agent — but<br />

only after his replacement is<br />

hired <strong>and</strong> trained. Applications<br />

are due in the Board of<br />

Selectmen’s office by 5 p.m.<br />

Thursday, July 23.<br />

“I’m going to be 74 pretty<br />

soon,” Marcel said. “This is my<br />

final retirement.”<br />

That, he noted, includes previously<br />

retiring from the military<br />

<strong>and</strong> the United States Postal<br />

Service.<br />

Marcel became Leicester’s veterans’<br />

agent when a friend at<br />

American Legion Post 443 in<br />

Cherry Valley “asked if I wanted<br />

to fill in, <strong>and</strong> that was seven<br />

years ago,” he recalled with a<br />

laugh.<br />

His job consists of helping fellow<br />

retired servicemen <strong>and</strong> servicewomen<br />

obtain the benefits<br />

the military <strong>and</strong> the Veterans<br />

Administration, such as discharge<br />

papers or combat medals.<br />

“The satisfaction of helping<br />

said.<br />

CALLS POST ‘MOST GRATIFYING JOB I’VE EVER HAD’<br />

BY ELISA KROCHMALNYCKYJ<br />

NEW LEADER CORRESPONDENT<br />

David Dore photo<br />

Francis J. Marcel Jr. sits in his office at Leicester Town Hall a couple of weeks ago. Marcel will be stepping down as<br />

veterans’ agent after seven years, just as soon as his replacement is hired <strong>and</strong> trained.<br />

agent. “I’d like to stay, but I think<br />

it’s come to the time.”<br />

Marcel spent 27 years in the<br />

military, joining at the age of 18<br />

because of a combination of<br />

family tradition, fascination <strong>and</strong><br />

the need to earn some money.<br />

Some of his uncles were in the<br />

military, <strong>and</strong> he fondly recalled<br />

working as a shoeshine boy at<br />

Union Station in Worcester <strong>and</strong><br />

seeing soldiers return home<br />

from their tours.<br />

“It gave me an opportunity to<br />

travel, <strong>and</strong> an opportunity to<br />

represent my country, which I<br />

did proudly,” Marcel said.<br />

He did five years of active duty<br />

in the Army, attached to the 181st<br />

Infantry, Yankee Division in<br />

Worcester <strong>and</strong> serving in<br />

Wiesbaden, Germany, Italy,<br />

Belgium, France <strong>and</strong> North<br />

Africa until 1953. He then spent<br />

more than two decades in the Air<br />

Force National Guard, leaving as<br />

a master sergeant.<br />

“It was the best decision I ever<br />

made in my life,” Marcel said of<br />

joining the military. “It was terrific.”<br />

Although he will be retiring<br />

for the third time, it does not<br />

necessarily mean the Marcel<br />

will be slowing down. He has<br />

offered to help “anytime they<br />

need me,” <strong>and</strong> he will continue<br />

to serve as commissioner of the<br />

Worcester Senior Athletic<br />

Association — a post he has held<br />

for seven years, <strong>and</strong> a league he<br />

has belonged to for 17. The<br />

NORTH BROOKFIELD — Most North<br />

Brookfield residents definitely want the 145-<br />

year-old Town House to be renovated instead<br />

of torn down, but in stages over a three- to<br />

five-year period, <strong>and</strong> at a cost of about $3 million,<br />

according to survey results from some<br />

850 respondents.<br />

None of that comes as a surprise to Julie<br />

McCarthy, president of the Friends of the<br />

Town House.<br />

“Because of the positive feedback I have<br />

received just chatting with people, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

way they feel about the historic value, it’s<br />

just what I expected,” she said.<br />

What came as a bit of a surprise — a pleasant<br />

one — to many is that 141 respondents<br />

said they’d be willing to serve on a committee<br />

overseeing the renovations, <strong>and</strong> some 558<br />

said they’d attend the Town Meeting about<br />

the matter.<br />

In 2007, voters at Town Meeting rejected a<br />

$4.1 million proposal to renovate the building,<br />

which closed in 2002 because of structural<br />

concerns. Selectmen attributed the<br />

defeat to a lack of specifics about the renovation.<br />

Now, via the survey, residents have had an<br />

opportunity to voice their opinions about<br />

how it should be done.<br />

“The message came out loud <strong>and</strong> clear,”<br />

McCarthy said. “I am so pleased with the survey<br />

— it was fun.”<br />

The survey questions <strong>and</strong> answers are as<br />

follows:<br />

• “Are you in favor of renovating the Town<br />

House?” “In stages,” 527; “general no,” 204;<br />

“general yes,” 197; “all at once,” 156.<br />

• “Are you in favor of demolishing the<br />

existing Town House?” “Not in favor,” 695;<br />

“In favor,” 156.<br />

• “Are you in favor of a new Town House?”<br />

“No,” 772; “yes,” 81.<br />

• “What is a reasonable time frame?” “Fiveyear,”<br />

264; “threeyear,”<br />

189; “two-year,”<br />

145; “four-year,” 133;<br />

“one-year,” 1.<br />

• “What is a reasonable<br />

cost?” “$3 million,”<br />

353; “$4 million,”<br />

152; “$5 million,”<br />

33.<br />

• “Would you attend the Town Meeting?”<br />

“Will attend,” 558; “Will not attend,” 247.<br />

• “Would you be willing to serve on<br />

Committee?” “Not willing,” 651; “Willing,”<br />

141.<br />

The Town House was built at 185 North<br />

Main St. in 1864 <strong>and</strong> added to the National<br />

Register of Historic Places in 2001.<br />

Once autumn rolls around, organizers will<br />

be ready to start moving forward, McCarthy<br />

said.<br />

“We’re going to take it easy during the<br />

summer <strong>and</strong> we’ll be ready in September,”<br />

she said. “Now we have something to begin<br />

with.”<br />

Pet of the Week<br />

Sponsored by E.B. Flatts<br />

Name: John aka Shorty<br />

Sex: Neutered male<br />

Hi! My name is John <strong>and</strong> I have a story to<br />

tell. I was left at the shelter one morning. They<br />

just left me in the driveway with just a bowl of<br />

water. My tail was very painful. It was badly<br />

injured <strong>and</strong> the bone was sticking out. My foot<br />

was also injured. So, they had to do surgery to fix the bone so it wouldn’t hurt so bad.<br />

Unfortunately, they had to amputate some of my tail.<br />

At least during my six months quarantine, I will have time for my wounds to heal,<br />

including my tail, <strong>and</strong> time to trust again. They tell me that it will cost the shelter a lot<br />

of money for the surgery <strong>and</strong> to keep me here for all that time. But that is where you<br />

can come into the story. I hope you will help the people at Second Chance by giving a<br />

donation for my care. I am so thankful that they took me in because I know that others<br />

had given up on me <strong>and</strong> now I am feeling much better. I am not in pain anymore <strong>and</strong> my<br />

tail is healing.<br />

If you would like to help, you can mail a donation to the shelter. I will be available for<br />

adoption just before Christmas. If you would like to adopt me <strong>and</strong> can wait for the holiday<br />

time to give me a home of my own, please put in an adoption application. I will be<br />

here waiting for you if you are willing to wait for me. That would be my Christmas wish<br />

<strong>and</strong> a happy ending to my story. I really am just a big softy, I love the attention I get, <strong>and</strong><br />

once I'm all better I will be playful again as well. I have already made some new friends<br />

here, <strong>and</strong> I promise that when I get to my new home I will bring all the appreciation <strong>and</strong><br />

joy with me.<br />

• SPENCER NEW LEADER 7<br />

Selectmen OK Elder Community Service Program<br />

BY ELISA KROCHMALNYCKYJ<br />

NEW LEADER CORRESPONDENT<br />

SPENCER — Wouldn’t it be great for the<br />

town to be able to tap into all of the expertise,<br />

knowledge, <strong>and</strong> experience of its retired residents?<br />

And wouldn’t it be great for retired senior<br />

citizens to be able to stretch their fixed<br />

incomes a little further by being paid to do<br />

what they’re good at doing?<br />

Both those things are possible, at the same<br />

time, with the town’s new Elder Community<br />

Service Program adopted at the July 13 Board<br />

of Selectmen meeting. The program allows<br />

residents over 62 years old to earn up to $1,000<br />

a year to help pay their taxes.<br />

“I’ve done this in three communities, <strong>and</strong> I<br />

will tell you one thing: we’d be surprised at the<br />

dedication, resources <strong>and</strong> talent our seniors<br />

have, <strong>and</strong> not only their work ethic, but their<br />

commitment,” said Town Administrator Paul<br />

Guida.<br />

And everyone has some skill to offer, said<br />

William Shemeth III, chairman of the Council<br />

on Aging.<br />

“It could be stuffing envelopes, or operating<br />

a piece of machinery to mow a lawn, or financial<br />

expertise, or helping the town planner,”<br />

Shemeth said. “We might be able to save quite<br />

a bit of money from their expertise.”<br />

It is different from — <strong>and</strong> can supplement —<br />

the statewide tax abatement plan offered to<br />

seniors, because the Elder Community<br />

Service Program literally hires the residents.<br />

Those employees are paid twice a year, at taxpayment<br />

time, <strong>and</strong> in turn sign their paycheck<br />

over to the town to be used toward their taxes,<br />

according to Pamela Woodbury, director of<br />

Spencer’s Council on Aging.<br />

While priority will be given to residents<br />

with a low income — $43,050 for one person,<br />

$49,200 for two people — others will be considered,<br />

especially those with a unique contribution,<br />

Woodbury said.<br />

“I don’t know of a town that has not been<br />

successful with this,” Woodbury said.<br />

“They’ve reaped more benefits than anyone<br />

could have imagined.”<br />

Applications will be accepted after July 20.<br />

ICE STORM CLEANUP<br />

Starting in the northeast section of town —<br />

Route 31 North <strong>and</strong> Route 9 toward Paxton<br />

Road — then working counterclockwise,<br />

cleanup crews will finally begin removing the<br />

limbs <strong>and</strong> trees downed by the Dec. 11 ice<br />

storm.<br />

The work is expected to be completed in<br />

three months. The delay in starting the<br />

cleanup was to allow enough time to make<br />

sure the plan meets the Federal Emergency<br />

Management Association’s strict conditions<br />

for reimbursement.<br />

The work will comprise taking down all of<br />

the “leaners <strong>and</strong> hangers” still dangling from<br />

the tree, <strong>and</strong> hauling those <strong>and</strong> the other piles<br />

of brush <strong>and</strong> limbs along the public right-ofway.<br />

Such lengthy preparation was necessary to<br />

ensure that the town could account for — <strong>and</strong><br />

be reimbursed for — every possible bit of the<br />

$1 million worth damage from the storm.<br />

With all the “leaners <strong>and</strong> hangers” still dangling<br />

from trees, <strong>and</strong> the piles of brush still<br />

remaining or already brought to the transfer<br />

station, Spencer has some 35,000 cubic yards<br />

of brush to remove — which Utilities <strong>and</strong><br />

Facilities Superintendent Robert McNeil III<br />

estimates will cost about $700,000.<br />

There was also at least $300,000 worth of<br />

storm-related damage to the roads.<br />

The town expects FEMA to reimburse it for<br />

$750,000 of the costs to the town. The state has<br />

promised to reimburse the town for another<br />

12.5 percent — $125,000 — which would mean<br />

the town would only have to pay for $125,000 of<br />

the cost, McNeil said.<br />

But, to get that money, the town needs to<br />

work within a very strict set of guidelines.<br />

That includes having certified scales at the<br />

transfer station to prove exactly how much<br />

brush was removed, <strong>and</strong> even having an independent<br />

“monitor” following the trucks<br />

around to ensure they are working according<br />

to FEMA’s requirements.<br />

They will even set up scales before <strong>and</strong> after<br />

every load is dumped, to see how much the<br />

truck weighs each time it leaves the transfer<br />

station, McNeil said.<br />

“Just by their design, some trucks have<br />

trouble completely cleaning themselves out,<br />

<strong>and</strong> leave some pieces still inside,” he said.<br />

“That’s the kind of thing FEMA will nit pick.”<br />

“We have to make sure everything is in<br />

order,” McNeil said.<br />

Any trees or limbs that are on private property<br />

must be brought to the right of way on<br />

the side of the road to be picked up, he said.<br />

ALSO ON THE AGENDA<br />

In other business at Monday’s meeting, the<br />

Board of Selectmen:<br />

• Gave the Spencer Agricultural Association<br />

permission to create one-way traffic on<br />

Smithville Road <strong>and</strong> Smithville Cross Road<br />

during the weekend of the Spencer Fair.<br />

• Said it expects to award a bid for just over<br />

a $1 million for exterior repairs to Memorial<br />

Town Hall. Voters at Town Meeting approved<br />

spending up to $1.2 million on the repairs.<br />

• Was pleased to announce the cuts in state<br />

funding for the fiscal year that just began<br />

were not as dire as first expected. Still, the<br />

cuts are sure to become deeper, so it would be<br />

wise to save the money, officials said.<br />

• Signed another year’s contract for a maintenance<br />

company to clean Town Hall <strong>and</strong> several<br />

other buildings for $23,500 a year — much<br />

lower than other bidders — but added a condition<br />

that all employees of the company be U.S.<br />

citizens.<br />

“If they’re holding the same price for the<br />

second year because they are all illegal immigrants<br />

<strong>and</strong> are paying $2 a hour, than that’s<br />

not a good idea,” said Selectmen Chairman<br />

Donald Berthaiume Jr.<br />

• Announced there are still openings in the<br />

town’s summer swim sessions <strong>and</strong> “summer<br />

adventures” offered through the Parks <strong>and</strong><br />

Recreation Department. Shemeth, who is also<br />

chairman of the Parks Commission, thanked<br />

St. Joseph’s Abbey, as well as Mary, Queen of<br />

the Rosary Parish, for their donations to the<br />

summer recreation program.<br />

8 SPENCER NEW LEADER • Friday, July 17, 2009<br />

VIEWPOINT<br />

OPINION AND COMMENTARY FROM SPENCER, LEICESTER AND THE BROOKFIELDS<br />

EDITORIAL<br />

Opinions of pols<br />

can go with wind<br />

Here’s what state Rep. Geraldo Alicea<br />

had to say to the Southbridge Evening<br />

News last week when it was first learned<br />

that the Registry of Motor Vehicles was<br />

targeting, among others, the Southbridge<br />

registry for closing. Instead, a satellite<br />

office will be open along the Mass Pike.<br />

Said Alicea to a reporter: “This is something<br />

we are not taking lightly.”<br />

“Now,” he went on to say, “they are making<br />

it even hard for a person … to get their<br />

license up to date.”<br />

Here’s what he was reported as saying<br />

just two days later, on Friday, July 10, in a<br />

Worcester paper:<br />

“There are some things that need to be<br />

addressed. In the long run, is it going to<br />

save taxpayers’ dollars? Yes. That’s what<br />

people have been asking for.”<br />

He’s right. That’s exactly what we’ve<br />

been asking for, <strong>and</strong> what Beacon Hill has<br />

been ignoring for years.<br />

In the same story, Alicea did express<br />

safety concerns but, “despite his concerns,<br />

he believes the savings achieved by<br />

moving the registry to the free site is what<br />

taxpayers want <strong>and</strong> he is glad the registry<br />

will continue to have a branch office in the<br />

area.”<br />

Yup, not taking it lightly at all.<br />

You see, in Boston, when it comes to the<br />

Legislature, opinions can change like the<br />

wind. When first approached about the<br />

issue, Alicea suggested he, along with a<br />

couple of other liberal lawmakers, would<br />

try to convince the RMV to reconsider.<br />

Two days later, apparently, Alicea reconsidered.<br />

As taxpayers, we do want savings. That<br />

is something we would have loved our lawmakers<br />

to consider when approving a fiscal<br />

2010 budget that taxes us to the end of<br />

creation. And they’re not done yet.<br />

It is more than just disingenuous when<br />

Alicea — or any lawmaker — says people<br />

want tax sayings. It’s disingenuous<br />

because neither he nor many of his colleagues<br />

has done much to stop our money<br />

from being ripped from our wallets.<br />

Remember when voters wanted to<br />

repeal the state income tax? Lawmakers<br />

practically went ballistic warning that if<br />

we did that, our taxes would have to go up<br />

in other areas.<br />

Well, we didn’t repeal it <strong>and</strong> guess what?<br />

Those taxes in other areas? They’ve still<br />

gone up.<br />

Alicea is a nice guy. So are Rep. Anne<br />

Gobi <strong>and</strong> Sen. Stephen Brewer, but nice<br />

doesn’t put food on our tables or yours.<br />

Money does. And Beacon Hill hasn’t given<br />

one hoot about that for years. If they did,<br />

then the half-baked package of reform<br />

they just passed would have been done a<br />

long, long time ago.<br />

So here’s a question we all should<br />

answer: When will we finally get fed up<br />

enough to change the direction of the<br />

wind?<br />

BROOKFIELD COUNCIL ON AGING<br />

Meyerdierks: Teachers do not just ‘care about themselves’<br />

To the Editor:<br />

I was appalled (but not surprised) to read<br />

the comment made by Kurt Nordquist in the<br />

July 10 issue of the Spencer New Leader. He<br />

implied that the teachers “don’t care about<br />

the children in this district — they care<br />

about themselves.”<br />

Mr. Nordquist, a newly elected School<br />

Committee member, needs to be “taken to<br />

task” himself. When was the last time he<br />

was in a classroom? Does he know or underst<strong>and</strong><br />

that every time the budget is cut,<br />

which is almost every year, the teacher pays<br />

(out of pocket) for many items needed for<br />

their classroom? Teachers must continue<br />

their educations to get ahead — this is not a<br />

choice, but state m<strong>and</strong>ated. Master’s degrees<br />

are not optional, but required. Teachers do<br />

not get bonuses, vacation pay, or overtime<br />

pay. Whatever time is spent after school<br />

hours is strictly volunteer. Does Mr.<br />

Nordquist know that a large percentage of<br />

teachers in this district also reside here?<br />

This also means they pay taxes here <strong>and</strong><br />

their children attend school here.<br />

I taught in this district for 35 years.<br />

During that time I was a union member,<br />

building representative <strong>and</strong> contract negotiator.<br />

I know first h<strong>and</strong> that this is not the<br />

first time teachers have been asked to<br />

reopen the contract or to take a pay freeze<br />

(which they have done in the past). This poisonous,<br />

negative attitude that teachers are<br />

“out for themselves” has got to stop.<br />

Teachers have made many sacrifices over<br />

the years because it “is about the kids.” The<br />

time has come for teachers to start getting<br />

some respect <strong>and</strong> support.<br />

LOUISE MEYERDIERKS<br />

SPENCER<br />

Rochette: Support needed for animal shelter in Spencer<br />

To the Editor:<br />

I would like to thank all of the people who<br />

have donated items for our two yearly yard<br />

sales, refundable bottles at the transfer station,<br />

food, <strong>and</strong> linens to raise money for the<br />

care of our many cats. Local students have<br />

also had food drives <strong>and</strong> that is great. You<br />

have done a lot to help us. We depend on<br />

your generosity. We don’t have outside funding,<br />

grants, or fund raisers. Oftentimes, Pete<br />

<strong>and</strong> Carol Gaucher, our animal control officers,<br />

cover costs with their own monies.<br />

Making sure that the cats <strong>and</strong> kittens that<br />

you adopt are healthy <strong>and</strong> have all their<br />

shots <strong>and</strong> needed veterinary work is costly.<br />

We need help. We are not asking you to<br />

stop your involvement with other facilities,<br />

but we are asking you to “share the wealth.”<br />

We need dry <strong>and</strong> canned cat <strong>and</strong> kitten food.<br />

Please help us out. We have around 100 cats<br />

at this time.<br />

Food can be dropped off at the shelter at 22<br />

Norcross Road or at my house at 7 North<br />

Brookfield Road.<br />

If you have any questions please call. My<br />

number is 508-885-2793.<br />

Thank you for your continued support.<br />

These two arrogant politicians voted to<br />

Save us from<br />

saving ourselves!<br />

As comic strip cartoonist Walt Kelley put it<br />

(in the words of Pogo) a generation or so ago,<br />

“We have met the enemy <strong>and</strong> he is us!”<br />

Of all the things from which we need saving,<br />

perhaps the most life- (<strong>and</strong> soul-) threatening is<br />

we, ourselves, <strong>and</strong> us. And not necessarily for<br />

all the reasons you might expect.<br />

Who’s right in the debate over global warming?<br />

Environmental groups,<br />

certain segments of the scientific<br />

community, much of<br />

Hollywood, <strong>and</strong> Al Gore are<br />

all of the opinion that<br />

Planet Earth “has a fever”<br />

<strong>and</strong> is growing warmer due<br />

mainly to the ill effects of<br />

carbon emissions, thanks to<br />

the driving of too many<br />

cars, the creation of electricity<br />

via coal, <strong>and</strong> a lot of the<br />

other everyday activities of<br />

AS YOU most — if not all —<br />

Americans. Gore’s movie,<br />

LIKE IT “An Inconvenient Truth,”<br />

which has thus far won him<br />

cinematic awards, major<br />

MARK ASHTON global prizes, <strong>and</strong> continued<br />

notoriety in the face of typical<br />

post-vice-presidential<br />

obscurity, documents how Western extravagance<br />

is dooming Mother Earth to an early<br />

demise. Grief-stricken polar bears are riding<br />

off into the sunset on ice floes, coastal communities<br />

are losing ground (literally) at the rate of<br />

1 or 2 feet a year, <strong>and</strong> the oceans are rising as<br />

polar ice caps melt.<br />

I don’t get the science of it all. I really don’t.<br />

When you pour yourself a cold drink in the<br />

summer <strong>and</strong> plunk ice cubes into the glass, do<br />

you ever worry that the cubes will melt <strong>and</strong> the<br />

drink will overflow the rim of the glass? How<br />

is that different from the melting ice cap phenomenon?<br />

As to the problem of global warming (alternately<br />

called global cooling, climate change, or<br />

just plain old weird weather), I have no idea<br />

whether it is or isn’t occurring at the pace the<br />

alarmists claim it is. I applaud efforts to reduce<br />

the carbon emissions on cars, because I’ve<br />

driven behind a city bus or a clunky old<br />

Cadillac on occasion, <strong>and</strong> we all know how<br />

unpleasant that can be.<br />

But climate change is just that — a natural,<br />

cyclical earthly occurrence. It’s always happened<br />

<strong>and</strong> always will. To assume, to blame, to<br />

assert that man is the cause of such a universal<br />

(<strong>and</strong> global) phenomenon is both the height<br />

of arrogance <strong>and</strong> the epitome of human folly.<br />

What chutzpah! What audacity to assume that<br />

puny little man(kind) has altered the overall<br />

temperature <strong>and</strong> climate of the world by way<br />

of carrying out such mundane activities as<br />

driving to the supermarket for a loaf of bread<br />

<strong>and</strong> a gallon of milk. The same science that<br />

warns us of the evils of vehicular emissions<br />

also warns that bovine flatulence (via gassy<br />

cows) produces as much (if not more) of the<br />

messy methane that’s messing up the ozone<br />

layer above us. So haven’t we actually<br />

improved our world already by reducing the<br />

number of dairy farms <strong>and</strong> increasing the<br />

number of internal combustion engines on the<br />

roads today?<br />

Perhaps I’m a fool for taking such things so<br />

cavalierly. Perhaps President Obama <strong>and</strong> the<br />

world powers who met last week will save us<br />

all, despite my ignorance <strong>and</strong> reluctance to<br />

participate, by way of their agreement that<br />

“worldwide temperatures must not rise more<br />

than a few degrees.” Specifically, the President<br />

<strong>and</strong> leaders of the “Group of Eight” (wealthy<br />

nations) agreed that global temperatures<br />

should be kept from rising by more than 3.6<br />

degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius). They<br />

all pledged to “seek dramatic cuts in greenhouse<br />

gas emissions by 2050.” I think all<br />

pledges should be made in this fashion — to be<br />

answerable some 20 years beyond the life<br />

expectancy of those who make them.<br />

While they’re at it, why didn’t they pledge to<br />

reduce the strength of gravity? If they could do<br />

that, say by 10 percent to 15 percent, within the<br />

next decade, they would vastly improve the<br />

health (by way of weight loss) for a good many<br />

of us “portly” Americans.<br />

It would/could all be laughable were it not<br />

for the fact that some of these folks are taking<br />

themselves very seriously. Under the new GM<br />

(Government Motors), we can expect a whole<br />

new breed of vehicle that is so energy efficient<br />

<strong>and</strong> emissions-free that they’ll use only half as<br />

much gasoline as today’s cars. (Future<br />

Americans please take note: That spike in the<br />

price of a gallon of gas WAS brought on by the<br />

decrease in the number of gallons sold. One<br />

way or another, petrol magnates, oil barons,<br />

<strong>and</strong> Saudi sheiks will get their profits!)<br />

Even scarier (to me) was the news last week<br />

that the president <strong>and</strong> his energy czar are pursuing<br />

“more energy-efficient” light bulbs. Yes,<br />

the lowly inc<strong>and</strong>escent has been singled out for<br />

extermination, <strong>and</strong> by some future date (not<br />

nearly far enough into the future), the energysaver<br />

bulb will be forced into American homes<br />

<strong>and</strong> businesses in efforts to save energy, save<br />

electricity, <strong>and</strong> save us all from our consumptive<br />

freedom-loving selves. The new bulbs will<br />

be much costlier than the present energy-guzzling<br />

60-watters <strong>and</strong> will contain mercury,<br />

which makes them disposal hazards. If they<br />

break in the house, small children <strong>and</strong> fish in<br />

the freezer will die. If they break in the local<br />

l<strong>and</strong>fill, future generations will have to deal<br />

with them. But we will have done away with<br />

the mean old inefficient light bulb <strong>and</strong> will<br />

have added dozens of health <strong>and</strong> safety inspectors’<br />

jobs to whatever remains of the<br />

American economy.<br />

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown<br />

called last week’s pledge to prevent global<br />

warming “a historic agreement.” He’s right. It<br />

happened, so it’s now history. German<br />

Chancellor Angela Merkel called it “a clear<br />

step forward.” Toward what, she didn’t specify,<br />

but I think it’s in the direction of a world in<br />

which Mother Earth gets a migraine, throws<br />

up, <strong>and</strong> wants to disown her children.<br />

SPORTS<br />

A season to remember for Softball All-Stars<br />

SPENCER-BROOKFIELDS SENIOR LEAGUERS EARN DISTRICT 5 CHAMPIONSHIP<br />

BY DAVID DORE<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

SPENCER — The Spencer-Brookfields softball<br />

Senior League All-Stars created plenty of<br />

memories over the last couple of weeks.<br />

It culminated Monday, July 6 when they<br />

won the District 5 Championship for the first<br />

time in the 10-year history of the softball program.<br />

That led to another first for the team: a<br />

trip to the sectional tournament to play<br />

District 3 champion Winchendon, who has a<br />

track record of success.<br />

The Spencer girls lost both games they<br />

played against Winchendon, 7-5 on Friday,<br />

July 10 <strong>and</strong> 13-12 Sunday, July 12. But they<br />

showed plenty of the never-give-up attitude<br />

that helped them through the District 5 playoffs,<br />

especially during Sunday’s game, when<br />

a seventh-inning rally came up just one run<br />

short.<br />

Spencer-Brookfields earned the top seed<br />

going into the District 5 Tournament. Up first<br />

was Quaboag, who topped Shrewsbury in<br />

their opening round contest <strong>and</strong> came out<br />

swinging against Spencer. Down 10-1 after<br />

two innings, Spencer rallied with an eightrun<br />

seventh to earn the 16-12 victory.<br />

With Shrewsbury topping Quaboag in a<br />

rematch in the double-elimination tournament,<br />

it was Spencer’s turn next. The hometown<br />

girls might have hosted the doubleheader<br />

July 6, but Shrewsbury won the coin flip in<br />

Game 1 <strong>and</strong> came back from a one-run deficit<br />

in the final frame to win 8-7.<br />

In Game 2, Spencer put up six runs in the<br />

first inning <strong>and</strong> five more in the next four to<br />

take an 11-8 lead going into the sixth inning.<br />

Spencer would score four more times to take<br />

the 15-8 victory <strong>and</strong> the District 5 crown.<br />

“The girls were ecstatic to win districts,<br />

knowing they would be able to play further,”<br />

said Spencer-Brookfields manager Wayne<br />

Benoit, who coached the team with Kerri<br />

Olsen <strong>and</strong> Dave Caputo.<br />

They would next face Winchendon, who<br />

has very good pitching <strong>and</strong> showed off their<br />

defensive skills with some acrobatic moves<br />

in their two games last weekend. It is a program<br />

that sent its Junior League squad to<br />

Syracuse, N.Y., last year after winning the<br />

state championship — <strong>and</strong> four members of<br />

that team took the field for the Senior<br />

Leaguers.<br />

“We have a very strong program,” said<br />

Winchendon skipper Scott Mahan. “I [attribute]<br />

that to just commitment by the parents<br />

<strong>and</strong> commitment by the coaches.”<br />

In Friday’s battle between starting pitchers<br />

Danielle Mawdsley for Spencer-Brookfields<br />

<strong>and</strong> Courtney Carton for Winchendon, it was<br />

Carton who seemed to get rattled first, allowing<br />

four runs in the bottom of the opening<br />

frame. The first run came thanks to the basestealing<br />

skills of catcher Carah Gross (she<br />

stole second <strong>and</strong> third before scoring on a<br />

Mawdsley single).<br />

Winchendon would put up one run in the<br />

second on a Kass<strong>and</strong>ra Salcedo bunt that<br />

turned into a double, <strong>and</strong> another in the<br />

fourth on an inside-the-park home run by<br />

particular order, Ashley Olsen, Gabrielle Pepin, Stephanie Cote, Maria Romano, Elizabeth Tobin, Stephanie Caputo, Lauren Brogen, Carah Gross, Samantha Boisjolie<br />

<strong>and</strong> Lauren Ostiguy. Not pictured are Ashley O’Hara, Danielle Mawdsley, Emily Magnone <strong>and</strong> Holly Lamoreaux.<br />

Jess Mahan before Spencer scored its fifth<br />

run of the game in the bottom of the fourth.<br />

In the fifth inning, Winchendon turned a 5-<br />

2 deficit into a 6-5 lead on two walks, a double<br />

to right field, a sacrifice fly <strong>and</strong> a triple.<br />

Winchendon tacked on one more run in the<br />

top of the sixth after a Zoey Monahan double<br />

<strong>and</strong> bunts by Emily Broeckel <strong>and</strong> Carton.<br />

Broeckel took over pitching duties for<br />

Carton in the bottom of the fifth for<br />

Winchendon <strong>and</strong> allowed only two singles in<br />

that frame, retired the side in the sixth <strong>and</strong> a<br />

single in the seventh. Spencer’s Lauren<br />

Brogan was caught stealing second after her<br />

single to left center field.<br />

Winchendon put up two runs to start off<br />

Sunday’s rematch, but Spencer responded<br />

with four runs off starting pitcher Carton.<br />

Winchendon then scored once in the second,<br />

with Spencer responding again with three of<br />

its own in the bottom of the frame <strong>and</strong> one in<br />

the fourth.<br />

Spencer’s starting pitcher, Gabrielle Pepin,<br />

got out of a bases loaded situation (all three<br />

got on base via the walk) in the third after<br />

Katie Berube was called out at home <strong>and</strong><br />

Broeckel struck out.<br />

Pepin was replaced in the pitching circle in<br />

the fourth by Ashley Olsen, who allowed a<br />

walk, hit a batter, had a couple of passed balls<br />

<strong>and</strong> gave up a two-RBI double to Jess Mahan<br />

before striking out Broeckel to end a basesloaded<br />

threat. In the fifth, though, Spencer’s<br />

lead vanished in a barrage of doubles <strong>and</strong><br />

singles from Winchendon.<br />

With the score tied at 8, the hard-throwing<br />

Brogan replaced Olsen <strong>and</strong> gave up two more<br />

runs in the fifth <strong>and</strong> three in the sixth for a<br />

13-8 Winchendon advantage.<br />

Spencer got a run back in the bottom of the<br />

sixth on an RBI from Samantha Boisjolie that<br />

scored Stephanie Caputo.<br />

The team then blazed the comeback trail in<br />

the seventh, starting with singles by Olsen,<br />

Maria Romano <strong>and</strong> Brogan before Gross sent<br />

a double to center field that brought Olsen<br />

home <strong>and</strong> caused Romano to be called out at<br />

home. A single by Caputo that the<br />

Winchendon first baseman could not grab<br />

brought Brogan <strong>and</strong> Gross home <strong>and</strong> closed<br />

the gap to 13-12. Liz Tobin then sent the ball<br />

into center field for a double, putting the goahead<br />

run on third base, but Stephanie Cote<br />

hit a popup to the third baseman to seal the<br />

victory for Winchendon.<br />

“We know the comeback can happen, so it<br />

wasn’t like the girls were going to get down<br />

because of it,” Benoit said. “It happened<br />

before, they believed it could happen again.”<br />

Winchendon moved on to face<br />

Easthampton Monday night in Worcester for<br />

a trip to the state finals. Easthampton beat<br />

Winchendon 5-4 July 11 to set up Sunday<br />

afternoon’s rematch at the Wire Village<br />

School softball field.<br />

Benoit, meanwhile, said after Sunday’s<br />

game that contest would be his curtain call.<br />

“My [18-year-old] daughter was actually too<br />

old to play this year <strong>and</strong> I chose to coach a<br />

team because they had the girls [to be successful],”<br />

Benoit said. “I am officially retired<br />

from coaching as of this game.”<br />

Child to leave Tantasqua for one year<br />

FAMILY MOVING TO MEXICO<br />

FOR TEACHING OPPORTUNITY<br />

BY NICK ETHIER<br />

SPORTS STAFF WRITER<br />

Jeff Child, the boys’ varsity basketball<br />

coach at Tantasqua Regional<br />

High School, will not be the man in<br />

charge of the Warriors during the<br />

2009-10 season.<br />

But, this isn’t a resignation or a<br />

firing or anything of the sort.<br />

Instead Child, his wife Kristen<br />

Ledeboer, <strong>and</strong> their family will be<br />

moving to Mexico for a year, as<br />

Ledeboer will be teaching English at<br />

a university.<br />

Ledeboer teaches Spanish at<br />

Tantasqua <strong>and</strong> was given the opportunity<br />

to broaden her teaching horizons,<br />

since she is a certified English<br />

as a second language (ESL) teacher.<br />

“Obviously it’s a good move for<br />

her,” Child said. “Family wise it’s a<br />

good move, which was the main<br />

thing we based our decision on.”<br />

“I think for her, just coming back<br />

to the classroom with that experience,<br />

it’s going to be a huge asset for<br />

her <strong>and</strong> the department,” Tantasqua<br />

Athletic Director Bob Casaceli<br />

added.<br />

And now the search is on for a oneyear<br />

replacement as the basketball<br />

coach.<br />

“We’re going to post his job as an<br />

interim position for one year <strong>and</strong> see<br />

how it all falls out,” Casaceli said.<br />

“Certainly he’s going to be welcome<br />

back when he returns to the States.”<br />

Child’s job will be a tough one to<br />

replace, even for just one season. He<br />

helped guide the Warriors to the<br />

2006-07 Division 2 state championship,<br />

<strong>and</strong> Tantasqua is always in<br />

the running for a district title each<br />

winter.<br />

But Casaceli <strong>and</strong> Child both agree<br />

that wins <strong>and</strong> losses are not the only<br />

reason why Child’s job will be<br />

restored after one year, although it<br />

may have played a small role in the<br />

decision making process.<br />

“Aside from the wins <strong>and</strong> losses,<br />

it’s how he coaches,” Casaceli said.<br />

“He’s great with the kids <strong>and</strong> his<br />

practices are crisp <strong>and</strong> very informative.<br />

He’s a players coach <strong>and</strong> does a<br />

good job.”<br />

“I don’t think the main reason is<br />

because of success,” Child added.<br />

“Relationships that I had with the<br />

kids, fellow coaches, administration,<br />

<strong>and</strong> faculty [have] helped them make<br />

the decision.”<br />

When asked about possible interim<br />

coaches, Casaceli said the process<br />

would take time, with an emphasis<br />

on a faculty member usually having<br />

priority over someone else.<br />

“Certainly, with any coaching<br />

position, you always like someone in<br />

the building,” he said. “It really<br />

makes a good bond with the kids.”<br />

But Casaceli also pointed out that<br />

Aaron Powell, the Warrior football<br />

coach, is a great exception to the<br />

rule. Powell is not affiliated with<br />

Tantasqua, yet he guided the<br />

Warriors to a perfect 13-0 season last<br />

winter, which culminated in a<br />

Division 2 Super Bowl victory over<br />

South Hadley, 17-14.<br />

Child wishes the interim coach<br />

well, adding that it will be an interesting<br />

mix of players next season,<br />

with a bunch of underclassmen<br />

finally getting the opportunity to<br />

play with the juniors <strong>and</strong> seniors.<br />

File photos<br />

Tantasqua boys’ basketball coach Jeff<br />

Child will not be on the sidelines for the<br />

2009-10 season. Rather, he will join his<br />

wife <strong>and</strong> family in Mexico so she can teach<br />

English at a university.<br />

Four-run fifth keeps Spencer undefeated<br />

QUABOAG SUFFERS FIRST LOSS IN LITTLE LEAGUE TOURNAMENT<br />

BY DAVID DORE<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

BROOKFIELD — After Quaboag<br />

took a 1-0 lead against his squad<br />

July 8, coach Tom Fahey gave the<br />

Spencer-Brookfields 12-Year-Old<br />

All-Star Team the same advice he’s<br />

given during every contest.<br />

“Right from the beginning,”<br />

Fahey explained after the game,<br />

“when they scored I said, ‘Hey, no<br />

one is beating us 1-0. Keep them at<br />

one, <strong>and</strong> we’ll win this game.’”<br />

Quaboag tacked on one more run<br />

in the sixth inning, but Spencer<br />

took control a frame earlier with<br />

timely hitting <strong>and</strong> four players<br />

crossing home plate.<br />

With that 4-2 victory, earned at<br />

Brookfield’s Lewis Field, Spencer<br />

remained undefeated in the<br />

Massachusetts District 5 Little<br />

League tournament. They<br />

advanced to the semifinals, where<br />

Spencer-Brookfields’ Ethan Grenier, right, runs toward second base while Quaboag’s<br />

Trevor Robert, center, guards the bag. Grenier would be called safe at the plate, <strong>and</strong><br />

scored the tying run for Spencer.<br />

they topped Southboro, 5-4, to move<br />

into the finals.<br />

Quaboag, who fell to 1-1, had a<br />

chance this past weekend to stave<br />

off elimination <strong>and</strong> took the most<br />

of it by topping Oxford, 8-6, on<br />

Saturday, July 11 <strong>and</strong> moving on to<br />

play Shrewsbury American<br />

Monday, July 13.<br />

The bottom of the fifth inning<br />

started with a matchup of pitchers,<br />

with Quaboag’s Sam Shaw on the<br />

mound <strong>and</strong> Brendan Ebol (who had<br />

just relieved starting pitcher<br />

Cameron Fahey) coming up to bat.<br />

Ebol sent the ball to deep left center<br />

field for a single, <strong>and</strong> was replaced<br />

on the base pads by pinch runner<br />

Ethan Grenier. He got to second<br />

base on a passed ball, then moved<br />

to third after walks issued to Fahey<br />

<strong>and</strong> Nick Chatzopoulos.<br />

At that point, with Tanner<br />

Pavalonis coming to bat <strong>and</strong> Shaw<br />

at the Little League-m<strong>and</strong>ated 85-<br />

pitch limit, Shaw switched spots<br />

with Quaboag shortstop Zack<br />

Edwards. Pavalonis sent the ball in<br />

Shaw’s direction, but he could not<br />

grab it — <strong>and</strong> that allowed Grenier<br />

to score the tying run.<br />

Golden’s at-bat allowed Fahey to<br />

score, giving Spencer its first lead<br />

of the game at 2-1. Golden would<br />

hit the ball at Shaw, who got the<br />

out, but Chatzopoulos was able to<br />

cross home plate for the 3-1 lead.<br />

The next batter, catcher Alec<br />

Petruzzi, hit a single to left field<br />

<strong>and</strong> earned an RBI when Pavalonis<br />

scored Spencer’s fourth run of the<br />

inning.<br />

“Four-run inning, it was the back<br />

breaker,” said Quaboag manager<br />

Jeff Edwards. “We had an error, a<br />

ball that should have been caught<br />

in the outfield.”<br />

Zack Edwards stopped any additional<br />

scoring by having Ian<br />

Puchalski fly out to center field to<br />

end the inning.<br />

Quaboag got on the board just<br />

two hitters into the game. Leadoff<br />

batter Spencer Duncan hit a double<br />

to left field, <strong>and</strong> then stole third<br />

base. Edwards singled to give<br />

Duncan the scoring opportunity,<br />

<strong>and</strong> he beat the throw home.<br />

Quaboag tacked on its second<br />

run of the game in the sixth<br />

inning, <strong>and</strong> it all started with singles<br />

from Tyler Trainor <strong>and</strong> Drew<br />

Nascembeni. With a new pitcher on<br />

the mound for Spencer to<br />

relieve Ebol, Ben Maclaron hit<br />

a line shot to the pitcher, who<br />

threw it to first base for the out<br />

— but Trainor was able to cross<br />

home plate to make the score 4-<br />

2. After Duncan was walked,<br />

putting runners at first <strong>and</strong><br />

second, the go-ahead run came<br />

up to the plate in Edwards. He<br />

sent a 1-2 popup to the pitcher<br />

to end the game.<br />

Fahey went 4 2/3 innings for<br />

the Spencer-Brookfields All-<br />

Stars, giving up six hits <strong>and</strong><br />

three walks <strong>and</strong> allowing only<br />

one run. Shaw, Quaboag’s starting<br />

pitcher, gave up four hits<br />

<strong>and</strong> four walks in 4 1/3 innings,<br />

while Edwards gave up three<br />

hits <strong>and</strong> a run to finish the<br />

game.<br />

Spencer had a chance to put<br />

runs on the scoreboard in the<br />

second inning, with two singles,<br />

two walks on four pitches<br />

each <strong>and</strong> a passed ball loading<br />

the bases for Fahey. However,<br />

he popped up to end the frame.<br />

Shaw retired the side in order<br />

in the third inning.<br />

The contest featured some<br />

fine defensive work on both<br />

sides, with Spencer’s second<br />

baseman able to turn a double<br />

play in the fourth inning <strong>and</strong><br />

Edwards knocking down a ball<br />

hit by Golden <strong>and</strong> throwing<br />

him out at first base to end the<br />

third inning.<br />

Fahey had a lot to be pleased<br />

with for his team, including the<br />

distinction of advancing past<br />

the second round in the<br />

District 5 Tournament for the first<br />

time in many years.<br />

“I consider us a very scrappy<br />

team,” the coach said. “We’re little.<br />

Every team we’re going to play, I<br />

know, is going to have a lot bigger<br />

kids than us. We have no 12-yearolds<br />

that are turning 13. We have<br />

all 11-year-olds that just turned 12.”<br />

Spencer beats Southbridge behind one-hitter<br />

PAVILIONIS PITCHES A GEM FOR 12-YEAR-OLD ALL-STARS<br />

BY NICK ETHIER<br />

SPORTS STAFF WRITER<br />

SPENCER — Tanner Pavilionis was only two outs<br />

away from a no-hitter for the Spencer-Brookfields Little<br />

League 12-Year-Old All Star team vs. Southbridge July<br />

7. It may not have happened, but Spencer won its first<br />

game in the tournament, 7-0, to advance in the winner’s<br />

bracket.<br />

“He pitched fantastic. He’s the best pitcher in the<br />

league this year,” Spencer coach Tom Fahey said of<br />

Pavilionis in the Spencer-Brookfields Little League<br />

program. “He’s not overpowering. He keeps them off<br />

balance, <strong>and</strong> he keeps it down. Everything’s at the<br />

knees. Kids aren’t going to hit the ball at the knees.”<br />

Southbridge leadoff hitter Tim Yaede waits for a pitch.<br />

Everything Pavilionis threw gave Southbridge fits, as<br />

an Andrew Loos first-inning walk was the only base<br />

runner Spencer allowed until the sixth <strong>and</strong> final<br />

inning.<br />

Loos was on the hill for Southbridge, <strong>and</strong> he pitched<br />

well until a big six-run inning for Spencer in the fourth.<br />

But the game-winning run, which was scored in the<br />

third inning, came by way of Spencer’s bread <strong>and</strong> butter:<br />

getting the ball in play <strong>and</strong> using speed.<br />

Nick Chatzopoulos had a two-out bunt single in the<br />

third, <strong>and</strong> attempted to steal second base. When<br />

Southbridge’s throw went into the outfield,<br />

Chatzopoulos bolted toward third base, but he never<br />

stopped running. Using his speed, Chatzopoulos scored<br />

easily for the game’s first run.<br />

Simply stated, Fahey said, “We can field <strong>and</strong> we can<br />

run.”<br />

The running was evident, <strong>and</strong> the fielding was crisp<br />

whenever Southbridge put a bat on the ball.<br />

Spencer put the game away in the fourth when they<br />

sent nine men to the plate <strong>and</strong> scored six times. Tyler<br />

Golden began the frame with a single <strong>and</strong> scored when<br />

Loos made a throwing error on Alec Petruzzi’s<br />

grounder, making it 2-0. Ian Puchalski then sacrificed<br />

Petruzzi over to third base, who scored on Brenden<br />

Donahue’s single. Brendan Ebol then grounded out, but<br />

Donahue scored when he raced to third, slid safely, <strong>and</strong><br />

scampered home when the throw was errant. Cameron<br />

Fahey made it 5-0 with a double, <strong>and</strong> Pavilionis’ single<br />

scored two more for the 7-0 outcome.<br />

“I got a lot more hits than I expected,” Fahey said, as<br />

Chatzopoulos, Pavilionis <strong>and</strong> Golden each went 2-for-3.<br />

Southbridge attempted a rally in their final ups when<br />

Shawn Miller hit a one out single into right field, spoiling<br />

Pavilionis’ no-hit bid. Tim Yaede then walked, putting<br />

two runners on base.<br />

But Spencer got out of the jam by striking out Jordan<br />

Torres <strong>and</strong> having Loos pop out to the shortstop.<br />

Dugay pitches Quaboag Little Leaguers past Sturbridge<br />

BY NICK ETHIER<br />

SPORTS STAFF WRITER<br />

SPENCER — It’s that time of year once again when 12-<br />

year-old Little League All-Stars take the diamond with aspirations<br />

of winning districts, advancing to states, <strong>and</strong> hopefully<br />

making it all the way to Williamsport, Pa., for the Little<br />

League World Series.<br />

District 5 play began play July 7, as Quaboag <strong>and</strong><br />

Sturbridge battled in the first game for both teams.<br />

Quaboag picked up the valuable win, 2-0, as pitcher Austin<br />

Dugay was phenomenal <strong>and</strong> the offense produced just<br />

enough to get past a game Sturbridge team.<br />

Quaboag scored the eventual winning run in the bottom of<br />

the first inning, as leadoff hitter Spencer Duncan got things<br />

started with an infield single. Trevor Robert walked with one<br />

out, advancing Duncan into scoring position. Aaron Roy’s (2-<br />

for-3) bloop single into center field was enough to plate<br />

Duncan, <strong>and</strong> gave Dugay enough run support.<br />

Dugay only gave up four hits <strong>and</strong> one walk in 5 2/3 innings<br />

of work. He also struck out seven Sturbridge batters.<br />

“He worked on some of his mechanics the last two weeks,”<br />

Quaboag coach Jeff Edwards explained. “He doesn’t get rattled.”<br />

And when Dugay did let a runner get on base, the players<br />

behind him made sure no runner was scoring.<br />

“He’s got a great defense, <strong>and</strong> he relies on them to pull<br />

through,” Edwards said, citing Trevor Robert at shortstop,<br />

Duncan at first base <strong>and</strong> Sam Shaw at second base, all contributing<br />

defensively.<br />

Robert was busy all afternoon, diving for any ball hit up<br />

the middle.<br />

And Duncan <strong>and</strong> Shaw saved potential runs in the fourth<br />

inning with Sturbridge threatening. Alex Alicea began<br />

Matt Dowling grounded out to Duncan, who calmly collected<br />

the ball <strong>and</strong> looked the runner back to third base. Then<br />

Mason Wildgrube hit a bloop into shallow right field, but<br />

Shaw raced back while throwing his hat off, making a oneh<strong>and</strong>ed<br />

grab, <strong>and</strong> throwing home. Even though Alicea beat<br />

the throw, catcher Ben McLaren threw to third base, <strong>and</strong><br />

Alicea was ruled out for leaving the base too early.<br />

Quaboag then scored in the fifth inning, when Robert was<br />

credited with a double as the Sturbridge outfielder slipped. A<br />

wild pitch sent Robert to third, <strong>and</strong> he scored when McLaren<br />

hit a slow chopper to third base.<br />

When Dugay reached his 85-pitch limit with only one out<br />

remaining in the contest, Shaw closed the game when he<br />

struck Alicea out swinging.<br />

Sturbridge’s Liam Seguin took the loss, though he pitched<br />

effectively. Seguin went 4 1/3 innings, giving up two runs on<br />

five hits while striking out eight <strong>and</strong> walking five. Seguin<br />

was also 2-for-3 at the plate. Griffin Brooks went two-thirds of<br />

an inning in relief.<br />

“Getting a win in the first game is big,” Edwards said. “I’m<br />

very deep in pitching, so I didn’t lose anyone. I’m expecting<br />

them to come to play every game.”<br />

Edwards also said that even though Quaboag <strong>and</strong><br />

Sturbridge were opposition on the field, they will eventually<br />

become teammates down the road.<br />

“The talent that’s coming up that’s eventually going to be<br />

at Tantasqua [Regional High School] is fantastic,” he said.<br />

“Ultimately, it’s a feeder program for the high school. Teach<br />

them <strong>and</strong> get ready to go.”<br />

Most players combined from both Sturbridge <strong>and</strong> Quaboag<br />

will attend Tantasqua in high school, although some players<br />

on the Quaboag team will attend Quaboag Regional or North<br />

Brookfield High School.<br />

Sturbridge coach Dan Wildgrube declined comment<br />

after the contest.<br />

Town reaches out to grieving family<br />

OFFER AID, COMFORT AFTER ‘HORRIBLE ACCIDENT’<br />

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY<br />

STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER<br />

STURBRIDGE — It is a devastating blow,<br />

but they are not alone.<br />

Following the tragic death of 2-year-old Eli<br />

Hoy Tuesday, July 7, the Sturbridge community<br />

has rallied together to support their<br />

grieving neighbors.<br />

Eli was accidentally killed “when he was<br />

struck by a minivan operated by his mother<br />

in the driveway of their home,” according to<br />

Worcester County District Attorney Joseph<br />

Early’s office.<br />

According to a friend of the mother, the<br />

boy ran behind the minivan while she was<br />

backing out.<br />

The accident occurred at approximately<br />

8:30 a.m. Tuesday, <strong>and</strong> by Wednesday morning,<br />

Assistant District Attorney Don Xenos<br />

said that while the state must follow protocol<br />

in investigating the incident, it appears to be<br />

nothing more than a tragedy.<br />

“What this looks like is just a horrible<br />

accident,” Xenos said. “I don’t anticipate any<br />

additional information coming out of the<br />

DA’s office.”<br />

According to a National Highway Traffic<br />

Safety Administration study, 221 people were<br />

killed in back-over accidents in 2007. The<br />

most common cause of such accidents are<br />

blind spots — or areas to the side or back of<br />

a vehicle that cannot be seen through the<br />

side or rearview mirrors — in which children<br />

can be concealed from the sight of the<br />

driver.<br />

Sylvia Gaumond of Southbridge, local<br />

chapter leader of Bereaved Parents of the<br />

U.S.A., a national support organization for<br />

parents who have lost children, openly invited<br />

the Hoys, Jordan <strong>and</strong> Pam, to visit the<br />

Angel of Hope statue in the memorial garden<br />

at the St. Anne Shrine in Sturbridge,<br />

only minutes away from where the accident<br />

occurred.<br />

Dedicated last year, the Sturbridge Angel<br />

of Hope is only one of 100 angels across the<br />

United States memorializing children, of<br />

any age, who have died too soon.<br />

“Losing a child is something that is beyond<br />

words,” Gaumond said, speaking from her<br />

own experience. “It’s the most pain that a<br />

parent can ever go through.<br />

“What really helps parents that have lost a<br />

child is that this is a place where we can go<br />

to get peace <strong>and</strong> solace, <strong>and</strong> have a common<br />

bond with other parents that have experienced<br />

the same loss <strong>and</strong> are on the same<br />

journey that we’re on,” Gaumond continued.<br />

In addition to seeking some quiet time in<br />

the memorial garden, Gaumond also invited<br />

the Hoys to a bereaved parents group, which<br />

meets on the second Monday of every month<br />

in the parish center, where they can share<br />

the company of others who can more closely<br />

identify with the family’s struggles than anyone<br />

else.<br />

“A lot of people have met there <strong>and</strong> friendships<br />

have flourished,” Gaumond said.<br />

According to Matt Sosik, president <strong>and</strong><br />

CEO of Hometown Bank, an account has<br />

been set up in memorial of Eli Hoy.<br />

“It’s a fund established by the family,<br />

friends <strong>and</strong> neighbors of the Hoys, really in<br />

support of the family,” Sosik said. “It’ll be<br />

entirely up to the family as to how to best utilize<br />

the money,” he added.<br />

Katie Resseguie of Hometown Bank said,<br />

“All you have to do is come in <strong>and</strong> say you<br />

want to make a donation <strong>and</strong> we have every<br />

thing set for you.”<br />

Donations can be made in Eli’s name at<br />

any Hometown branch, or mailed to the Hoy<br />

Family Fund, c/o Hometown Bank, 331 Main<br />

St., Sturbridge, MA 01566.<br />

Neighbor Peter Baldracci of Cooper Road<br />

said the Hoys moved into the neighborhood<br />

about four years ago, <strong>and</strong> were a happy family.<br />

“I always saw them in the front yard,”<br />

Baldracci said. “The kids were always out in<br />

the yard playing.”<br />

A pass by the Hoy’s home shows evidence<br />

of a family that enjoyed their time together:<br />

an inflatable swimming pool, a big-wheel,<br />

<strong>and</strong> basketball hoops.<br />

“I feel bad for the family,” Baldracci said.<br />

“It’s just a tragedy.”<br />

A father of two children of his own,<br />

Baldracci said, “I don’t know what I’d do if<br />

something like that happened to one of<br />

ours.”<br />

Districts give ‘F’ on state’s school calendar plan<br />

BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

Newly issued state guidelines are meant to<br />

help local school districts make up cancelled<br />

days after a year filled with time lost from a<br />

devastating ice storm <strong>and</strong> the onset of H1N1<br />

flu in many communities.<br />

The guidelines further explain current<br />

policy, which require districts to schedule<br />

185 days of school, with five of them built in<br />

for emergencies. Districts are m<strong>and</strong>ated to<br />

hold 180 days of instruction.<br />

The new guidelines “clarify” that schools<br />

should make up days lost between the first<br />

day of class <strong>and</strong> March 31, according to the<br />

state Department of Elementary <strong>and</strong><br />

Secondary Education (DESE).<br />

Days lost between April 1 <strong>and</strong> June 1 must<br />

be added to the calendar until the district<br />

has 185 days scheduled,<br />

Under the new guidelines, days lost after<br />

June 1 need not be made up.<br />

“These are not written in stone. These are<br />

guidelines,” said DESE Spokesman Heidi<br />

Guarino.<br />

Guarino cited area school closures from<br />

the December ice storm <strong>and</strong> the late spring<br />

onset of H1N1 as the need to issue the guidelines.<br />

Districts can apply for waivers from the<br />

180-day requirement, but the department did<br />

not grant any to the Central Massachusetts<br />

area this past school year, according to the<br />

DESE.<br />

“Waivers [will be] considered on case-bycase<br />

basis,” Guarino said.<br />

Many locals schools were closed immediately<br />

after the ice storm, with some serving<br />

as shelters for residents forced out of their<br />

homes. No local schools closed from H1N1<br />

flu; however, one Dudley Elementary School<br />

student contracted that swine flu strain earlier<br />

this year. A Southbridge student also<br />

contracted the virus.<br />

The rules were nothing new to area school<br />

administrators.<br />

“It just clarifies for superintendents <strong>and</strong><br />

school committees …what things are going<br />

to be considered when having to make up<br />

school,” said Dudley-Charlton Regional<br />

School District Superintendent Sean M.<br />

Gilrein.<br />

Gilrein’s district cancelled five days of<br />

school due to weather, but did not have to<br />

make any up.<br />

The rules will help a little, according to<br />

Webster School Superintendent Dr. Gregory<br />

Ciardi.<br />

“In general it provides more flexibility,” he<br />

said.<br />

His district cancelled three days this past<br />

winter, out of the five built-in for emergencies.<br />

Auburn School Superintendent MaryEllen<br />

Brunelle said this year’s circumstances were<br />

unusual. Regardless of the guidelines, she<br />

said, the district always carefully considers<br />

when days of school will be made up.<br />

News of the regulations angered Spencer-<br />

East Brookfield Superintendent Ralph<br />

Hicks.<br />

“I don’t see that as providing us with anything<br />

that is any news. It’s a nothing memo.<br />

Means nothing to me. I just think it is a<br />

waste of my time,” he said.<br />

Hicks said his district did not need any<br />

waivers this year.<br />

DESE Commissioner Mitchell Chester<br />

said he is steadfast in the need for a lot of<br />

learning time.<br />

“I remain committed to the need for all students<br />

to be in school for at least 180 days a<br />

year, <strong>and</strong> urge districts to put plans in place<br />

that will make rescheduling lost days easier<br />

on everyone,” he said in a statement.<br />

To avoid as many cancellations as<br />

occurred this year, Chester issued several<br />

pieces of advice: Start school before Labor<br />

Day, schedule more than 185 days, <strong>and</strong> schedule<br />

a one-week vacation in March instead of<br />

holding two separate ones in February <strong>and</strong><br />

April.<br />

Brunelle said her district already starts<br />

before Labor Day, <strong>and</strong> indicated she would be<br />

willing to consider combining the February<br />

<strong>and</strong> April vacations in one March break.<br />

“All options should be considered,” she<br />

said.<br />

Changes, she said, could not be made to the<br />

coming year’s calendar, but could during the<br />

2010-11 school year.<br />

The rules are part of the state’s strict system<br />

to assure students receive adequate<br />

learning time. Secondary school students<br />

are required to receive 990 hours of learning<br />

time, while elementary school students must<br />

attend 900 hours.<br />

Plenty of folklore can be found in your garden<br />

The garden has long been a<br />

mystical place, where the<br />

wonder of nature’s h<strong>and</strong>iwork<br />

is apparent each harvest<br />

season. Given a garden’s unpredictability<br />

it should come as no surprise<br />

that gardeners through the<br />

ages have tried to tempt fate through<br />

rituals <strong>and</strong> rhymes. To mark the<br />

height of the gardening season, read<br />

on for a sampling of folklore tradition<br />

<strong>and</strong> tales.<br />

“WEATHER” OR NOT<br />

The weather plays a major role in<br />

planting success, <strong>and</strong> our forefathers<br />

had numerous anecdotes <strong>and</strong><br />

rhymes to aid them in recalling<br />

nature’s predictions. Here is an<br />

entertaining collection of phrases for you to<br />

ponder:<br />

Clear moon, frost soon.<br />

Cloudy mornings turn to clear afternoons.<br />

Halo around the moon, rain soon. Halo<br />

around the sun or moon, rain or snow soon.<br />

If you see the underside of the leaves in<br />

the gentle breeze, it will rain before your<br />

sneeze.<br />

Mare’s tails <strong>and</strong> mackerel scales make tall<br />

ships take in their sails.<br />

No weather is ill when the wind is still.<br />

Pale moon doth rain, Red moon doth blow,<br />

White moon doth neither rain nor snow.<br />

Red skies at night, sailor’s delight. Red<br />

skies at morning, sailors take warning.<br />

Smoke curling downward, poor weather.<br />

When the stars begin to huddle, the earth<br />

will soon become a puddle.<br />

When your joints all start to ache, rainy<br />

weather is at stake.<br />

When a cow endeavors to scratch his ear, It<br />

means a rain shower is very near. When he<br />

TAKE<br />

THE<br />

HINT<br />

KAREN<br />

TRAINOR<br />

thumps his ribs with an angry tail,<br />

Look out for thunder, lightning <strong>and</strong><br />

hail.<br />

A year of snow, a year of plenty.<br />

Evening red <strong>and</strong> morning gray<br />

help the traveler on his way.<br />

Evening gray <strong>and</strong> morning red<br />

bring down rain upon his head.<br />

MANTRA OF THE MONTHS<br />

Certain months of the year bring<br />

curious clues as to Mother Nature’s<br />

mood. Some of these vintage verses<br />

are oft repeated today.<br />

A wet January, a wet spring.<br />

In February, if thou hearest thunder,<br />

Thou shalt see a summer wonder.<br />

A peck of March dust is worth a<br />

king’s ransom.<br />

April showers bring May flowers.<br />

If it thunders on All Fool’s Day, it brings<br />

good crops of corn <strong>and</strong> hay.<br />

A dry May <strong>and</strong> a leaking June, make the<br />

farmer whistle a merry tune.<br />

A cold May is kindly <strong>and</strong> fills the barn<br />

finely.<br />

A wet May makes a big load of hay.<br />

Mist in May <strong>and</strong> heat in June will bring all<br />

things into tune.<br />

June damp <strong>and</strong> warm does the farmer no<br />

harm.<br />

A dripping June keeps all things in tune.<br />

A swarm of bees in July is not worth a fly.<br />

If the 24th of August be fair <strong>and</strong> clear, then<br />

hope for a prosperous Autumn that year.<br />

THE LEGEND OF GAZING BALLS<br />

Gazing balls, which are large shiny, reflective<br />

orbs that typically sit on a st<strong>and</strong> in the<br />

garden, have long been said to have protective<br />

powers. In the Victorian era, gazing<br />

balls were common sights in gardens.<br />

Legend has it evil spirits attempting to enter<br />

the garden were scared off by their own<br />

reflections in the gazing ball. Also called<br />

Witch Balls because witches were often the<br />

spirits to repel, the brilliant globes were also<br />

said to ward off misfortune <strong>and</strong> illness.<br />

Today, gazing balls have become an attractive<br />

addition to both formal <strong>and</strong> casual gardens.<br />

Set on a cement or metal st<strong>and</strong>, the orb<br />

allows a view of the entire garden with a single<br />

glance. Gazing balls come in many colors<br />

<strong>and</strong> sizes, allowing for versatility in the<br />

home garden.<br />

HUMMINGBIRD LORE<br />

The tiny hummingbird has a rich heritage<br />

steeped in Native American folklore. In<br />

Mayan lore, the hummingbird is the sun in<br />

disguise. A Mojave legend has a hummingbird<br />

flying up from the darkness of the inner<br />

earth to discover the world we now live in.<br />

The Taino tribe worships the hummingbird,<br />

believing it is a “sacred pollinator.” And the<br />

Chaymas of Trinidad also hold hummingbirds<br />

sacred, as it is thought the hummingbirds<br />

are their dead ancestors.<br />

Hummingbirds are a delightful addition to<br />

the modern garden, as they are not only<br />

wonderful to watch, they are valuable pollinators<br />

<strong>and</strong> insect predators. Growing flowers<br />

that produce nectar will attract the tiny<br />

birds, <strong>and</strong> hummingbird feeders ensure a<br />

plentiful flock of the tiny visitors.<br />

Hummingbirds are attracted to the following<br />

shrubs <strong>and</strong> flowers: Azalea; Bee Balm;<br />

Butterfly Bush; Canna; Coral Honeysuckle;<br />

Flowering Quince; Four O’Clocks; Foxglove;<br />

Fuchsia; Hosta; Impatiens; Morning Glory;<br />

Petunia; Trumpet Creeper; Yucca.<br />

If you use a hummingbird feeder, a homemade<br />

solution of nectar is an economic way<br />

to attract the birds. The general recipe is one<br />

part sugar to four parts water. Mixture<br />

should be boiled for about a minute to retard<br />

mold. The solution should be replaced at<br />

least once a week <strong>and</strong> it is imperative you<br />

keep the feeder clean. It is not necessary to<br />

add red food coloring to the water, as any red<br />

trim on the feeder will attract the birds.<br />

Are you on track toward your financial objectives?<br />

It’s been almost two years since<br />

turmoil began in the financial<br />

markets. And during that time,<br />

your own financial picture,<br />

along with that of virtually every<br />

other investor, has probably<br />

changed. Still, you can do a lot to<br />

get back on track toward the future<br />

you’ve envisioned — <strong>and</strong> you can<br />

start today.<br />

What moves should you make?<br />

ere are a few to consider:<br />

• Assess your current situation.<br />

You’re well aware of the<br />

change in your portfolio’s value<br />

over the past two years, <strong>and</strong> you<br />

may well have already made some<br />

adjustments. But if you’re going to<br />

position yourself properly for the<br />

future, you need to review your<br />

entire financial situation: your savings,<br />

spending, investments, insurance<br />

<strong>and</strong> income needs. Only then<br />

can you chart the course that’s<br />

right for you.<br />

• Re-evaluate your<br />

goals. Since you are<br />

already reviewing your<br />

financial picture, now is a<br />

good time to also re-examine<br />

your goals. Would you<br />

like to help pay for a<br />

child’s college education?<br />

Do you know when you<br />

plan to retire? When you<br />

do retire, what sort of<br />

lifestyle do you envision?<br />

If you haven’t already<br />

FINANCIAL<br />

FOCUS<br />

done so, identify your<br />

goals <strong>and</strong> try to put a price<br />

tag on them.<br />

• Review your strategy for<br />

reaching your goals. Once you<br />

know about how much money your<br />

goals may require, you’ll need to<br />

review your savings <strong>and</strong> investment<br />

strategies to determine if<br />

they are likely to provide sufficient<br />

JEFF BURDICK<br />

funds. You’ll need to look at<br />

your investment mix to see<br />

if it’s providing the right<br />

combination of growth <strong>and</strong><br />

income opportunities. At<br />

the same time, you’ll want<br />

to analyze your feelings<br />

about investment risk.<br />

Before the market decline,<br />

many investors believed<br />

they were more comfortable<br />

with risk than they<br />

actually were. Because different<br />

investments carry<br />

different levels of risk, it’s<br />

essential that you know<br />

your risk tolerance <strong>and</strong> factor<br />

it into your investment decisions.<br />

• Start making necessary<br />

changes. To attain the goals you’ve<br />

identified, you may well need to<br />

make some changes. For example,<br />

during the most recent bear market,<br />

the value of your growth-oriented<br />

investments likely fell considerably,<br />

which means these<br />

investments may now make up a<br />

smaller percentage of your portfolio,<br />

relative to income-oriented<br />

vehicles. Yet to achieve your longterm<br />

objectives, you may need a<br />

good amount of exposure to investments<br />

that have the potential to<br />

provide growth, such as stocks.<br />

Consequently, you may need to<br />

rebalance your portfolio, possibly<br />

with the help of a professional<br />

financial advisor — someone who<br />

knows your goals, risk tolerance,<br />

family situation <strong>and</strong> other key factors.<br />

• Be flexible. After you’ve identified<br />

your goals <strong>and</strong> revised your<br />

investment strategy accordingly,<br />

you have taken some important<br />

steps — but you’re still not done.<br />

None of us can predict what will<br />

happen in our lives, <strong>and</strong> as we’ve<br />

seen, the financial markets are<br />

equally unpredictable. So you will<br />

need to be flexible with your investment<br />

moves <strong>and</strong> prepared to make<br />

changes as necessary.<br />

In short, establish an investment<br />

strategy that’s right for your needs<br />

<strong>and</strong> follow it as best you can, but be<br />

prepared to adjust your path as<br />

time goes by. By staying diligent,<br />

you can help yourself advance<br />

toward your important goals — in<br />

all economic environments.<br />

• SPENCER NEW LEADER 15<br />

Relay for Life prepping new events, fundraisers<br />

RELAY<br />

continued from page 1<br />

at Lemansky Park in<br />

Auburn.<br />

New on the agenda for this<br />

year’s event, which will be<br />

held Friday, Sept. 11 <strong>and</strong><br />

Saturday, Sept. 12, is a spot<br />

for reflection <strong>and</strong> prayer on<br />

the field, a blanket drive,<br />

more cancer education during<br />

the event <strong>and</strong> a competition<br />

between a “sister Relay.”<br />

Formerly known as the<br />

Auburn Relay for life, the<br />

Central South County<br />

Massachusetts Relay for Life<br />

will also compete with the<br />

Relay for Life event in<br />

Monroe, Ill. Both events are<br />

taking place on the same day,<br />

only the Monroe one is a few<br />

hours shorter.<br />

Central South County<br />

Relay for Life co-Chairman<br />

Stephen Gallant said both<br />

events would be broadcasted<br />

live through Web cams <strong>and</strong><br />

updates would be given<br />

throughout the day.<br />

Legislation could require retesting of elderly drivers<br />

DRIVING<br />

continued from page 1<br />

Alicea (D-Charlton).<br />

Following the attention generated from the<br />

recent crashes, groups have pushed lawmakers<br />

to consider tightening the rules. One bill<br />

proposed in the state Senate would allow the<br />

Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) to revoke,<br />

suspend or deny somebody a license if it<br />

believes the person is somehow impaired.<br />

Police officers, firefighters or medical professionals<br />

would be allowed to report any problems,<br />

while drivers could appeal any RMV<br />

Foreclosures increasing<br />

populations at animal shelters<br />

PETS<br />

continued from page 1<br />

been left behind in foreclosed homes, <strong>and</strong><br />

shelters are reporting that families are<br />

struggling to keep <strong>and</strong> feed pets.”<br />

Brackley said the effect of the economy has<br />

been difficult on both animals in the area <strong>and</strong><br />

shelters.<br />

“We are absolutely slammed,” said<br />

Brackley. “It is awful.”<br />

She said the facility is over capacity <strong>and</strong><br />

there are three times the normal number of<br />

pets now looking for new homes.<br />

Brackley said she thinks the cause for the<br />

huge influx in pets coming to the shelter is<br />

not only the backlash from the economy, but<br />

also people not taking the time to spay <strong>and</strong><br />

neuter their animals.<br />

According to the Humane Society Web site,<br />

pets are often left behind either because people<br />

are moving or they cannot take care of<br />

them anymore. Sometimes these animals are<br />

found dead or in poor condition.<br />

“Ab<strong>and</strong>oned pets face a grim future,” the<br />

site states. “Many pets trapped inside ab<strong>and</strong>oned<br />

homes aren’t found until they’re on<br />

the brink of starvation. Those lucky enough<br />

to reach a shelter have about a 50 percent<br />

chance of being adopted.”<br />

This is why, according to the society, it is<br />

good to have a plan for finding animal-friendly<br />

housing ahead of time. The site suggests<br />

that people take time before they move to<br />

check for a place for their pet to stay if they<br />

know ahead of time that they are moving or<br />

foreclosure may be in their future. People can<br />

also contact the Humane Society or their<br />

local animal control officer. According to the<br />

site, they will be a good source in finding<br />

either a new home for a pet or pet-friendly<br />

housing.<br />

There have been many calls to Brackley<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Second Chance shelter as of late, <strong>and</strong><br />

according to her there are many people finding<br />

little to no room in local shelters. They<br />

have been calling Second Chance as their last<br />

hope.<br />

“There are 180 animals here [at the shelter],”<br />

said Brackley. “People get angry where<br />

there we don’t have room to take in pets, but<br />

“I think it’s going to do<br />

very well,” Gallant said.<br />

“Anything that fosters competition<br />

is going to increase<br />

the amount made.”<br />

Gallant said he got the idea<br />

from an international Relay<br />

for Life Web site. He said he<br />

had heard that an event in<br />

Engl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> in California<br />

did the same.<br />

Gallant said participation<br />

has been going well so far —<br />

22 teams have already registered<br />

<strong>and</strong> last year the event<br />

had 35 teams total. One thing<br />

that Gallant said is difficult<br />

is getting the word out to surrounding<br />

towns. During the<br />

winter, the Auburn Relay for<br />

Life decided to exp<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

include the surrounding<br />

towns of Leicester, Oxford<br />

<strong>and</strong> Millbury.<br />

“We’re hitting crunch time<br />

now <strong>and</strong> we’re trying to get<br />

as much advertising as possible,”<br />

he said.<br />

Gallant said they are doing<br />

some fundraisers to try <strong>and</strong><br />

spread awareness. One such<br />

fundraiser is a called “flocking<br />

flamingos.” They way the<br />

fundraiser works is a bunch<br />

of plastic pink flamingos are<br />

placed on someone’s lawn. To<br />

get the flamingos removed,<br />

the person must make a<br />

donation to the Relay for Life<br />

<strong>and</strong> a donation can be made<br />

for the flamingos to be put on<br />

someone else’s lawn. Gallant<br />

also noted that this year is<br />

the 25th anniversary of the<br />

Relay for Life <strong>and</strong> Central<br />

South County is the last one<br />

scheduled in the region for<br />

the calendar — most towns<br />

have their events during the<br />

spring.<br />

Gallant also mentioned<br />

that they are looking for survivors<br />

to participate. He said<br />

any survivors interested<br />

should contact him by e-mail<br />

at swg49@charter.net or contact<br />

co-Chairman Karen<br />

Sisko at sksisko@charter.net<br />

<strong>and</strong> a personal invitation<br />

will be sent to them.<br />

Sisko said she is “very<br />

impressed” with the amount<br />

we are working around the clock to help <strong>and</strong><br />

take in as many as we can hold.”<br />

She said sometimes their shelter is the fifth<br />

or sixth people will call when they are trying<br />

to place their pet.<br />

There are also times when they find<br />

injured pets ab<strong>and</strong>oned at the door of the<br />

shelter because people cannot afford the cost<br />

of their medical care.<br />

“It is really sad,” Brackley said Wednesday,<br />

July 8. “There are 93 cats <strong>and</strong> 18 dogs. It’s<br />

been so rough.”<br />

She said for people who are in the market<br />

for adopting a pet, or if they would like to<br />

donate time, funds or food to the shelter, they<br />

can get more information at www.secondchanceanimals.org.<br />

There are online forms<br />

for dog <strong>and</strong> cat adoption as well.<br />

This is Spud, an Alaskan Husky mix looking for a<br />

good home. It is dogs like Spud who have had to be<br />

given up by families who cannot take them to where<br />

they are living after their homes are foreclosed.<br />

of help they have been<br />

receiving from volunteers.<br />

“Several people have<br />

stepped up with helping out<br />

<strong>and</strong> getting tasks done,” she<br />

said adding that this year the<br />

average number of people to<br />

show up to meetings is 30,<br />

compared with only eight<br />

people per meeting last year.<br />

She said about 50 percent of<br />

the volunteers are from<br />

Auburn; the rest are from<br />

other towns.<br />

Sisko said she is expecting<br />

a good turnout to this year’s<br />

event but she is not setting<br />

her expectations too high.<br />

“We have a lot of things<br />

planned, a lot of fun things<br />

going on this year,” she said.<br />

action. Another bill would allow medical<br />

staff to report drivers 16 or older that have<br />

been diagnosed with some sort of impairment.<br />

Another bill, filed by Sen. Brian A. Joyce<br />

(D-Milton), would simply require drivers 85<br />

or older to take a vision <strong>and</strong> driving test.<br />

Currently motorists have to renew their<br />

license every five years <strong>and</strong> can do so at any<br />

office branch or online, but they cannot<br />

renew by phone.<br />

At least some type of testing has the support<br />

of Susan Ohman, 61, of Dudley, who has<br />

experience with the issue. Her mother’s<br />

license was taken away after a doctor examined<br />

her <strong>and</strong> determined she should no<br />

longer drive. Ohman herself once drove<br />

behind an elderly motorist traveling 30 miles<br />

per hour on Interstate 290.<br />

“I really think they need to be tested,” she<br />

said. “Have you ever driven behind them?”<br />

The moves follow several high profile accidents<br />

involving elderly drivers: Just last<br />

week, an 83-year-old woman died from<br />

injuries suffered Sunday night, July 5, when<br />

her 92-year-old husb<strong>and</strong> allegedly ran her<br />

over. A 93-year-old man in Danvers drove his<br />

car into a Wal-Mart entrance earlier this<br />

month. An 86-year-old woman struck <strong>and</strong><br />

injured a person in Melrose Sunday, June 28.<br />

Most tragically, Diya Patel, 4, was killed in<br />

Stoughton after an 86-year-old woman drove<br />

into her. The driver, Ilse Horn, was cited by<br />

police for negligent operation of a motor<br />

vehicle <strong>and</strong> the RMV suspended her license.<br />

Support for some type of rule tightening<br />

appears to be gaining support. Patel’s uncle,<br />

Nihan, testified in favor of the ideas during a<br />

Tuesday, June 30 hearing of the Joint<br />

Committee on Transportation to consider the<br />

proposals.<br />

Alicea said he supports some type of rule,<br />

but said any action needs to address impairments,<br />

not necessarily the age of a driver.<br />

“You could have somebody who is 23 years<br />

old <strong>and</strong> who is impaired,” he said.<br />

Alicea pointed out that many people might<br />

not visit their doctor in fear of being reported<br />

as potentially impaired drivers.<br />

State Rep. John Bienenda (D-Worcester)<br />

supports retesting elderly drivers, but said<br />

younger drivers pose a great risk on the road.<br />

“[Any new laws] shouldn’t be age-oriented,”<br />

he said. “It should be public safety oriented.<br />

That is the key to the whole thing —<br />

public safety, not age.”<br />

Bienenda said he would rather see a crackdown<br />

on distracted driving in general rather<br />

than a group of drivers.<br />

Support of another kind is also coming<br />

from an umbrella organization called Safe<br />

File photo<br />

The Central South County Relay for Life will be held Friday, Sept. 11<br />

<strong>and</strong> Saturday, Sept. 12 at Lemansky Park in Auburn. This year’s Relay<br />

has exp<strong>and</strong>ed to include the towns of Auburn, Oxford, Millbury <strong>and</strong><br />

Leicester. Several aspects of the event will be new this year, including<br />

an online competition with a “sister Relay” in Monroe, Ill.<br />

Roads Now, which includes the American<br />

Association of Retired Persons (AARP). Dr.<br />

Elizabeth Dugan, a member of Safe Roads<br />

Now, testified a couple of weeks ago <strong>and</strong> cited<br />

a study claiming Missouri’s medical reporting<br />

system for drivers mitigated the situation,<br />

according to the AARP. Once an<br />

impaired driver was reported, 96.5 percent no<br />

longer drove.<br />

“The percentage of crashes fell steeply<br />

after Missouri’s medical reporting law was<br />

enacted,” she said. “A comprehensive solution<br />

to road safety, will require reform in<br />

medical reporting, licensing procedures <strong>and</strong><br />

evaluations of our reforms to make sure we<br />

are obtaining gains in safety.”<br />

Dugan is the author of “The Complete<br />

Resource Guide for Older Drivers <strong>and</strong> Their<br />

Families.”<br />

One local skeptic of testing elderly<br />

motorists is state Rep. Paul Kujawski (D-<br />

Webster). Kujawski said he does not support<br />

periodic testing of elderly drivers at this<br />

point, but is open to listening to proposals.<br />

He said he wants to research the issue more<br />

before passing any laws.<br />

“It’s a very sensitive issue that I think that<br />

needs a lot of careful interpretation,” he said.<br />

“More than age has to come into consideration.”<br />

State Rep. Todd Smola (R-Palmer) took a<br />

similar tact. Smola said he supports periodic<br />

testing only if the RMV can prove elderly<br />

drivers have a high rate of accidents. He<br />

questioned whether older drivers are inherently<br />

dangerous.<br />

“I’m not so sure it’s a huge problem as some<br />

people are making it out to be,” he said.<br />

The media is driving the issue, according<br />

to Smola.<br />

“We have a couple of incidents that all of<br />

the sudden get a front page story <strong>and</strong> it<br />

becomes a massive problem. I just don’t see it<br />

that way,” he said. “It is a knee jerk reaction<br />

is what it is.”<br />

Two other issues drivers can run into,<br />

Smola said, are that the RMV no longer sends<br />

notices that a license is expiring, with drivers<br />

having one year before it expires to renew<br />

it, <strong>and</strong> seniors would not have a public transit<br />

system to use if they had their license<br />

taken away.<br />

The controversy comes as the population<br />

continues to age <strong>and</strong> accidents continue to<br />

occur. According to AAA Southern New<br />

Engl<strong>and</strong>, 40 million people over age 65 will<br />

have their license by 2020.<br />

18 SPENCER NEW LEADER • Friday, July 17, 2009<br />

Several changes made to Open Meeting Law<br />

LAW<br />

continued from page 1<br />

Solicitors <strong>and</strong> Town Councils John Lampke,<br />

whose group worked with the state<br />

Legislature on the new bill. The law now<br />

clearly states that a quorum of one board can<br />

attend a meeting of another body, but only<br />

discuss the latter board’s business, Lampke<br />

said. Prior to the new law, he said, interpretations<br />

of the statue prohibited the first board<br />

from speaking at all, unless they had a posted<br />

a meeting.<br />

“They should not be able to say, while we<br />

are here, let’s vote these licenses,” he said.<br />

The new statute also requires both boards<br />

to post the meeting in public. Currently, the<br />

law requires a public body to post a notice of<br />

meetings at least 48 hours in advance, excluding<br />

Sundays <strong>and</strong> holidays.<br />

Another change likely to cause concern for<br />

some officials is requiring boards to state the<br />

specific topic <strong>and</strong> purpose they are going into<br />

executive (closed door) session, “without<br />

compromising” the purpose of the meeting.<br />

The prior version of the law required boards<br />

to cite one of the exemptions that allow them<br />

to meet behind closed doors.<br />

Another change makes documents used by<br />

board members during an executive or open<br />

session part of the public record. Lamkpe<br />

specified a potential problem with the law.<br />

“What is meant by used at the meeting? It is<br />

not defined,” he said.<br />

The record of a town employee’s health<br />

condition (a topic that can be discussed in<br />

executive session) might become public<br />

under the new statue, according to Lampke.<br />

“It is not going to be protected under the<br />

Public Records Law,” he said.<br />

The state Public Records Law states that<br />

any document created or possessed by a government<br />

is public record, with several exceptions.<br />

The exemptions are related to personnel,<br />

medical, privacy, law enforcement investigations<br />

<strong>and</strong> other issues.<br />

A proposal to impose a $1,000 fine on members<br />

of a board who violated the law, <strong>and</strong> not<br />

the board as a town entity, failed to make into<br />

the final version of the law, according to the<br />

Work on track to be completed by start of school year<br />

TRACK<br />

continued from page 1<br />

Architects, the original architect for the renovation<br />

<strong>and</strong> expansion project at the high<br />

school.<br />

The repair work is being done by Palmer<br />

Paving, which Scanlon said was interviewed<br />

by the district. He said he was “thoroughly<br />

impressed” with Palmer Paving, <strong>and</strong> believes<br />

the company will do a good job.<br />

Scanlon said the faulty paving job of the<br />

former track was hard for school <strong>and</strong> town<br />

officials.<br />

MMA. The group advocated against the<br />

change. Currently, a town can be fined for violating<br />

the law.<br />

Local officials, many whom of said they<br />

had not heard of the new statues until now,<br />

greeted the news differently. Charlton<br />

Selectmen Chairman Rick Swensen, whose<br />

board has incurred two Open Meeting violations<br />

in the past two years, expressed happiness<br />

with the measure. He said he would<br />

abide by the AG enforcing the law <strong>and</strong> joint<br />

meeting portion. Referring to the AG’s office,<br />

Swensen said, “Hopefully, it will get more<br />

consistency [in Open Meeting Law interpretations].”<br />

Worcester County District Attorney<br />

Spokesman Don Xenos did not return<br />

requests for comment last week.<br />

Swensen, however, took issue with the public<br />

records change, saying he interprets documents<br />

used during executive session will<br />

remain private until the minutes of that<br />

meeting are released.<br />

“The official record of the session is the<br />

minutes,” he said.<br />

The two violations the DA slapped selectmen<br />

with took differing paths. The first was<br />

for not posting a separate meeting notice to<br />

tell the public it had moved its meeting from<br />

one room to another. The DA viewed the new<br />

room as a new meeting. The second violation<br />

was over the selectmen conducting Town<br />

Administrator Robin L. Craver performance<br />

evaluation in “private” <strong>and</strong> not during open<br />

session.<br />

“It has never been our desire to run outside<br />

the Open Meeting Law,” Swensen said.<br />

Brookfield Selectmen Chairman Rudy<br />

Heller, whose board incurred three violations<br />

in one year, even took the step of writing to<br />

state Rep. Anne Gobi (D-Spencer) to oppose<br />

the change in the public records law.<br />

“At the same time I recognize that some<br />

information lends itself to lots of speculation<br />

if the whole story is not heard. Sometimes<br />

the press in order to … whatever their reason<br />

may be, publishes only some of the information”<br />

or only knows part of it, he said.<br />

In his opposition, Heller also said he wanted<br />

to avoid violating the Health Insurance<br />

“[It was] a frustration on the School<br />

Committee <strong>and</strong> Board of Selectmen knowing<br />

they paid for a product they did not receive,”<br />

he said.<br />

Quaboag Superintendent Brett Kustigian<br />

expressed his excitement for the new facility.<br />

“I am absolutely thrilled,” he said. “I think<br />

it’s going to be a real nice addition to the<br />

Quaboag Middle/High School.”<br />

Kustigian described Palmer Paving as a<br />

“reputable company.”<br />

“They have been nothing but very helpful,”<br />

he said, adding that employees are out working<br />

on the track every morning.<br />

Portability <strong>and</strong> Accountability Act (HIPAA),<br />

which governs the release of medical information<br />

to the public.<br />

“Very often executive sessions [affect] privacy<br />

of individuals,” he said.<br />

Instead of the change, Heller said he wants<br />

boards to have time to review Freedom of<br />

Information Act requests before releasing<br />

anything that could be deemed sensitive.<br />

Auburn Selectmen Chairman Robert<br />

Grossman accepted the new statute, <strong>and</strong> said<br />

no complaint had been filed against his during<br />

his 14 years on it.<br />

“I don’t object to them at all,” he said.<br />

Holl<strong>and</strong> Selectmen Chairman James<br />

Wettlaufer said the executive session topic<br />

change would greatly hinder his town’s business.<br />

To make his point with an example,<br />

Wettlaufer said the law would stop him from<br />

privately notifying other selectmen, in executive<br />

session, of a theft of computer equipment<br />

from the Town Hall.<br />

“I would never [publicly announce that] in<br />

open session,” he said. “The idea here is to<br />

catch the culprit. You can’t do that if you are<br />

always having to make it public.”<br />

Referring to the law change, he said, “It is<br />

stupid.”<br />

Southbridge Board of Health member<br />

Dean Cook, whose group incurred an Open<br />

Meeting violation early last year, also disagreed<br />

with having to state the topic of an<br />

executive session.<br />

“It could be something quite sensitive,” he<br />

said.<br />

Whether having one large office, the AG’s,<br />

instead of the district attorneys, will turn<br />

complaints around quickly is still a mystery.<br />

DA spokesman Jill Butterworth refused to<br />

answer that question last week.<br />

“Those are hypothetical questions. We<br />

don’t answer those,” she said.<br />

Oftentimes, the Worcester district attorney’s<br />

office has taken around two months to<br />

render decisions.<br />

Cook said he had “no idea” whether the AG<br />

could make decisions faster. Grossman had<br />

his own opinion.<br />

“It might take even a little longer, because<br />

of so much having to be h<strong>and</strong>led through one<br />

Kustigian said he was thankful toward<br />

School Committee members Thomas Baker<br />

of West Brookfield <strong>and</strong> Daniel Korzec of<br />

Warren because they had been involved in<br />

the litigation over the track for the past eight<br />

years.<br />

Kustigian <strong>and</strong> Scanlon acknowledged that<br />

with the new walking <strong>and</strong> running surface,<br />

the school is now able to have a track <strong>and</strong><br />

field team. Kustigian noted that Quaboag’s<br />

other sports teams would also benefit.<br />

“I think it will be a nice show piece for the<br />

UMass Medical Center to<br />

offer babysitting classes<br />

AUBURN — Babysitting classes will be<br />

offered from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Wednesday<br />

<strong>and</strong> Thursday, July 22-23, at the First<br />

Congregational Church in Auburn for children<br />

aged 11 <strong>and</strong> over.<br />

This two-day class is designed for anyone<br />

who already babysits or wants to begin. This<br />

class is also useful for children who are left<br />

home alone for periods of time. All classes<br />

will be taught by an RN from the UMass<br />

Memorial Family Education Department. A<br />

certificate will be awarded to all participants<br />

after meeting all the class requirements.<br />

Pre-registration is required, as class size is<br />

limited. For more information <strong>and</strong> to register,<br />

East Brookfield to host<br />

summer concert series<br />

EAST BROOKFIELD — On Thursday, July<br />

23, the inaugural Summer Concert Series,<br />

sponsored by FamilyFirst Bank, will kick off<br />

in East Brookfield.<br />

According to coordinator Joan Bedard, the<br />

series of free concerts is designed to “provide<br />

good wholesome family fun, to promote<br />

business in East Brookfield <strong>and</strong> to provide<br />

NEWS BRIEFS<br />

office. It is going to overpower the manpower<br />

of that particular office [or make them hire<br />

more people],” he said.<br />

Oxford Selectmen Chairman Jennie<br />

Caissie expressed little concern for the<br />

changes. Her board, she said, already operated<br />

its meetings in line with the law’s changes,<br />

including the public records issue.<br />

“I have always assumed that has been the<br />

case,” she said.<br />

Caissie also agreed with the new executive<br />

session change <strong>and</strong> the joint meeting issue.<br />

Some officials interviewed for this story<br />

said they would have asked legislators to<br />

make other changes that were not included.<br />

Lampke said he wanted to see the law<br />

changed to allow public bodies to meet with a<br />

town’s attorney in executive session. A ruling<br />

from the state Supreme Judicial Court<br />

already allows that, he said, but changing the<br />

law would have clearly codified it.<br />

Cook said the law should be updated to<br />

meet the needs of the 21st century, including<br />

dealing with a flu p<strong>and</strong>emic.<br />

“How do you have a public meeting … without<br />

infecting each other?” he said. “How do<br />

you h<strong>and</strong>le an emergency that requires a<br />

vote?”<br />

The law includes a measure to allow board<br />

members to participate through conference<br />

telephone calling, but it bars them from voting<br />

during such a session.<br />

How the law was revamped also raised concern<br />

among some. Lampke said the state<br />

Legislature never held a public hearing about<br />

the proposed changes.<br />

“It was done in a rather un-open manner,”<br />

he said. “We did not have the opportunity, as<br />

you would imagine, should have been provided<br />

… to have some input.”<br />

The House version of the bill did not<br />

include the provisions, but they were inserted<br />

into the Senate’s version, according to<br />

Lampke.<br />

school district, along with a lot of other<br />

things that are happening,” he said.<br />

Kustigian said he is looking forward to the<br />

first football game under the lights.<br />

“Under the lights <strong>and</strong> on the field with a<br />

beautiful new track — it’s very exciting,” he<br />

said.<br />

Grace to be part of Mary Lane 100th anniversary<br />

WARE — The Baystate Mary Lane<br />

Hospital Auxiliary is hosting a summer celebration<br />

in recognition of Baystate Mary<br />

Lane Hospital’s 100th anniversary. The<br />

event will be held on Saturday, Aug. 8 from<br />

10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the hospital’s front<br />

lawn.<br />

Among the many activities planned, Dr.<br />

Louis B. Grace, retired family practitioner<br />

<strong>and</strong> obstetrician, who provided patient care<br />

at the hospital for more than 50 years, will<br />

be on h<strong>and</strong> to celebrate the more than 4,400<br />

babies he delivered at Mary Lane Hospital.<br />

Grace invites all of these babies to join him<br />

in this celebration.<br />

Grace’s office was located in North<br />

Brookfield, <strong>and</strong> he saw his first patients on<br />

Sept. 29, 1955. He received his medical<br />

degree from Tufts University of Medicine<br />

in Boston.<br />

In honor of the 100th anniversary, Grace<br />

has planned a special tent to visit with<br />

patients <strong>and</strong> provide them a special badge<br />

noting their delivery number from 1 to<br />

4,485. Mothers <strong>and</strong> babies in attendance<br />

will be entered to receive special gifts <strong>and</strong><br />

participate in drawings.<br />

“Obstetricians play a role in some of the<br />

most intimate human experiences, including<br />

birth <strong>and</strong> family relationships,” Grace<br />

said. “My patients were my neighbors <strong>and</strong><br />

my friends. We celebrated joy <strong>and</strong> endured<br />

hardships together. I had this amazing privilege<br />

4,485 times, <strong>and</strong> not a day goes by that<br />

I do not cross the path of one or another. I<br />

always look forward to an opportunity to<br />

learn about the families that made my work<br />

so meaningful.”<br />

“The day’s celebration <strong>and</strong> activities will<br />

include magician Fran Ferry, clowns,<br />

miniature horses, face painting, children’s<br />

games, vendors, raffles, an Antique Car<br />

Display, <strong>and</strong> so much more,” said Deb<br />

Gagnon, development manager at the hospital.<br />

“We hope the public will join Dr.<br />

Grace <strong>and</strong> the Hospital Auxiliary for this<br />

very exciting special summer celebration<br />

commemorating the 100th anniversary of<br />

the hospital, where today we recognize over<br />

400 employees, including 94 nurses. We are<br />

grateful to the more than 200 active, consulting<br />

<strong>and</strong> courtesy medical/dental staff<br />

that includes physician specialists in family<br />

practice, internal medicine, pediatrics,<br />

anesthesiology, allergy, cardiology, emergency<br />

medicine, radiology, hospital medicine,<br />

orthopedic <strong>and</strong> general surgery, <strong>and</strong><br />

OB/GYN, who provide the care to the many<br />

people in our communities with quality<br />

<strong>and</strong> compassion.”<br />

For more information, call Development<br />

Manager Deb Gagnon at (413) 967-2458.<br />

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER<br />

Tests Showed Coliform Bacteria in Spencer Water<br />

Our water system recently violated a drinking water st<strong>and</strong>ard. Although this incident was not an emergency, as our<br />

customers, you have a right to know what happened <strong>and</strong> what we did to correct this situation.<br />

We routinely monitor for drinking water contaminants. We took twelve samples to test for the presence of coliform<br />

bacteria during the month of June. Two of our samples showed the presence of total coliform bacteria. The st<strong>and</strong>ard is<br />

that no more than 1 sample per month may do so.<br />

What should I do?<br />

• You do not need to boil your water or take other corrective actions. However, if you have specific<br />

health concerns, consult your doctor.<br />

People with severely compromised immune systems, infants, <strong>and</strong> some elderly may be at increased risk. These people<br />

should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. General guidelines on ways to lessen the<br />

risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1 (800) 426-4791.<br />

What does this mean?<br />

This is not an emergency. If it had been, you would have been notified immediately. Coliform bacteria are generally<br />

not harmful themselves. Coliforms are bacteria which are naturally present in the environment <strong>and</strong> are used as an<br />

indicator that other, potentially-harmful, bacteria may be present. Coliforms were found in more samples than<br />

allowed <strong>and</strong> this was a warning of potential problems.<br />

Usually, coliforms are a sign that there could be a problem with the system’s treatment or distribution system (pipes).<br />

Whenever we detect coliform bacteria in any sample, we do follow-up testing to see if other bacteria of greater<br />

concern, such as fecal coliform or E. coli, are present. We did not find any of these bacteria in our subsequent<br />

testing, <strong>and</strong> further testing shows that this problem has been resolved.<br />

What happened? What was done?<br />

Two out of twelve routine monthly distribution system samples tested positive for total coliform bacteria. These<br />

samples were collected on June 24, 2009. We believe the bacteria originated from water line upgrades being<br />

performed as part of the Maple St. construction project. These upgrades took place on June 23, 2009, one day<br />

prior to the routine sampling. The distribution system was disinfected <strong>and</strong> re-sampled on June 29, 2009.<br />

All six of the re- samples tested negative for total coliform bacteria.<br />

Garden Club offers soil<br />

management program<br />

BROOKFIELD — The Brookfield Garden<br />

Club will host a program by Dan Kittredge<br />

of North Brookfield on how farmers can<br />

work to achieve better nutrition through<br />

better soil management, which in turn can<br />

produce better tasting, more nutrient-rich<br />

foods.<br />

The program will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday,<br />

July 26 in the basement of Brookfield<br />

Congregational Church. The program is<br />

free <strong>and</strong> open to the public.<br />

Kittredge is the founder of Real Food<br />

Campaign, whose mission is to make<br />

nutrient-dense foods available to everyone.<br />

The campaign plans to eventually set st<strong>and</strong>ards,<br />

provide education <strong>and</strong> use protocols<br />

to promote this. It would involve farmers<br />

from all parts of the world who have developed<br />

methods for nutrient-dense foods, as<br />

well as scientists, doctors, <strong>and</strong> nutritionists.<br />

The idea behind the movement began with<br />

Dr. Arden Anderson (Real Medicine, Real<br />

Health), who believes all forms of life are<br />

interconnected <strong>and</strong> that something done<br />

to one aspect of life affects another.<br />

According to Anderson, "Microorganisms<br />

in the soil determine how a crop is going<br />

to grow <strong>and</strong> that determines how we're<br />

going to grow with the nutrition from that<br />

crop." Because of inadequate nutritional<br />

practices by farmers in the past, today's<br />

food is significantly deficient in nutrient<br />

density. "Eating all the right foods today<br />

still leaves us short of needed nutrition,"<br />

says Anderson.<br />

Through the Real Food Campaign,<br />

Kittredge hopes to help gardeners learn<br />

about how balancing biological minerals<br />

available in the soil improves the soil life<br />

<strong>and</strong>, in turn, the health of the soil, leading<br />

to the improved quality of nutrients in<br />

crops. His Web site is www.realfoodcampaign.org.<br />

10 SPENCER NEW LEADER • Friday, July 17, 2009<br />

Beacon Hill still mulling ban on texting, driving<br />

BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

One proposed measure to ban text messaging<br />

while driving has died, but state lawmakers<br />

are still considering other similar<br />

bills.<br />

The proposed law, which was an attachment<br />

to the state’s fiscal 2010 budget, would<br />

have imposed a $75 fine on drivers caught<br />

reading or typing a text message with a cell<br />

phone.<br />

Now, however, the Joint Committee on<br />

Transportation is considering whether several<br />

similar bills should be referred to the<br />

House floor for a vote. The committee aired<br />

concerns over the bills June 11.<br />

Currently, state law allows motorist to use<br />

cell phones as long as the driver keeps one<br />

h<strong>and</strong> on the steering wheel. However, the law<br />

also states “no person … [shall use] anything<br />

which may interfere with or impede the<br />

proper operation of the vehicle or any equipment<br />

by which the vehicle is operated or controlled.”<br />

One House bill would ban all cell phone<br />

use while driving unless the motorist was<br />

using a h<strong>and</strong>s-free device. Another would<br />

prohibit only junior operations from using a<br />

cell phone in any way <strong>and</strong> impose fines on<br />

violators.<br />

The issue a cell phone use behind the<br />

wheel has gained more attention from lawmakers<br />

in the wake of recent accidents.<br />

In October 2007, Am<strong>and</strong>a Martin, 17, died<br />

when the car she was driving slammed into a<br />

tree in Charlton on the way to school. She is<br />

File photo<br />

A driver demonstrates his habit of texting while driving. Lawmakers recently heard several bills that would<br />

ban cell phone while driving. Another bill recently perished during debate.<br />

believed to have been text messaging at the<br />

time of the crash. Since then, Am<strong>and</strong>a’s<br />

mother, Melissa, has passionately pushed for<br />

some type of cell use phone ban.<br />

State Rep. Geraldo Alicea (D-Charlton),<br />

who has advocated for such a ban, said<br />

Martin testified in favor such a ban at the<br />

hearing.<br />

“There is a lot of support for this legislation,”<br />

he said. “We need to be up to date on<br />

what is going with technology.”<br />

The Martin family has already had a huge<br />

impact on the issue. Early last year, Melissa<br />

<strong>and</strong> her other daughter, Lainey, helped gain<br />

the House’s approval of a similar ban. That<br />

ban, which never became final law, would<br />

have barred talking <strong>and</strong> texting unless <strong>and</strong><br />

h<strong>and</strong>s free device was used. Junior operators<br />

would have been banned from using cell<br />

phones altogether.<br />

Also in an incident earlier this year, an<br />

MBTA Green Line driver in Boston admitted<br />

he was texting when his trolley rammed into<br />

another. The engineer at the helm of a train<br />

in California was also texting when he<br />

crashed. The accident killed 25 people,<br />

according to the Los Angeles Times.<br />

While the proposed law targets cell phone<br />

use while driving, AAA Southern New<br />

Engl<strong>and</strong> Traffic Safety Manager John Paul<br />

last year said distractions overall are the<br />

real concern.<br />

“It’s actually a distraction that’s more of a<br />

issue,” Paul said.<br />

Being involved in an intense conversation,<br />

controlling children or fiddling with compact<br />

discs can all keep drivers from focusing<br />

on the road, he said. In the 1940s, according<br />

to Paul, lawmakers considered banning car<br />

radios out of fears that drivers would be too<br />

involved with singing the tunes while driving.<br />

“Your primary responsibility when you<br />

are behind the wheel is just to drive. We want<br />

people to realize that,” he added.<br />

If any type of ban is signed into law,<br />

Massachusetts would become one of only a<br />

MILITARY NOTES<br />

MILITARY continued from page 5<br />

Patrick J. Nofio<br />

Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class<br />

Patrick J. Nofio, son of Caroline C.<br />

<strong>and</strong> Martin A. Nofio of Warren,<br />

along with more than 2,500 sailors<br />

<strong>and</strong> Marines from the Bataan<br />

Amphibious Ready Group in<br />

Norfolk, Va., <strong>and</strong> 22nd Marine<br />

Expeditionary Unit at Camp<br />

Lejeune, N.C., are currently<br />

deployed to support Maritime<br />

Security Operations, provide crisis<br />

response capability, <strong>and</strong> increase<br />

theater security cooperation <strong>and</strong><br />

forward Naval presence in the Fifth<br />

<strong>and</strong> Sixth Fleet areas of operation.<br />

During a port call in Palma de<br />

Mallorca, Spain, the sailors <strong>and</strong><br />

Marines hosted tours aboard ship.<br />

They also volunteered to assist residents<br />

<strong>and</strong> refurbish the grounds at<br />

the Association Sindrome de Down<br />

de Beleares, dedicated to helping<br />

people with Down syndrome. The<br />

sailors <strong>and</strong> Marines also had the<br />

opportunity to participate in bicycling<br />

<strong>and</strong> kayaking tours, tours of<br />

Palma City, the Caves of Drach <strong>and</strong><br />

Costa Nord.<br />

Bataan also recently commemorated<br />

the Battle of Midway, wearing<br />

uniforms as they were worn in 1942<br />

<strong>and</strong> playing Midway announcements<br />

throughout the day over the<br />

ship's general announcing system.<br />

Four Midshipmen from the U.S.<br />

Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md.,<br />

who spent three weeks aboard the<br />

Bataan, were paired with enlisted<br />

sailors who helped prepare the<br />

future officers for shipboard life <strong>and</strong><br />

acquire tools to become effective<br />

leaders.<br />

Bataan transited the Suez Canal<br />

<strong>and</strong> entered the Fifth Fleet's area of<br />

responsibility, relieving the USS<br />

Boxer Amphibious Group.<br />

The 22nd MEU performed the first<br />

ship to shore emergency medical<br />

evacuation from the Bataan using<br />

the new MV-22B Ospreys. The V-22 is<br />

a joint service, multi-mission aircraft<br />

with vertical take-off <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>ing<br />

capability <strong>and</strong> performs missions<br />

as effectively as a conventional<br />

helicopter while also having the<br />

long-range cruise abilities of a twin<br />

turboprop aircraft.<br />

ARGs usually include an amphibious<br />

squadron (PHIBRON), an<br />

amphibious assault ship (LHA/D),<br />

amphibious transport dock (LPD),<br />

dock l<strong>and</strong>ing ship (LSD), embarked<br />

Naval support elements <strong>and</strong> an<br />

embarked MEU.<br />

The BATARG is comprised of the<br />

multi-purpose amphibious assault<br />

ship USS Bataan (LHD 5), the<br />

amphibious transport dock USS<br />

Ponce (LPD 15) <strong>and</strong> the amphibious<br />

dock l<strong>and</strong>ing ship USS Fort<br />

McHenry (LSD 43). The BATARG<br />

<strong>and</strong> 22nd MEU provide the combatant<br />

comm<strong>and</strong>er a versatile seabased<br />

force that can be tailored to a<br />

variety of missions, including quick<br />

reaction crisis response options in<br />

maritime, littoral <strong>and</strong> inl<strong>and</strong> environments<br />

in support of the Navy's<br />

Maritime Strategy.<br />

The 22nd MEU includes a Ground<br />

Combat Element, Battalion L<strong>and</strong>ing<br />

Team 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine<br />

Regiment; Aviation Combat<br />

Element, Marine Medium Tiltrotor<br />

Squadron 263 (reinforced); Logistics<br />

Battalion 22; <strong>and</strong> its comm<strong>and</strong> element.<br />

Nofio is a 2007 graduate of<br />

Quaboag Regional Middle High<br />

School of Warren, <strong>and</strong> joined the<br />

Navy in June 2007.<br />
