Sylvia: ‘A difficult decision and a sad day’
CRANSTON CUTBACKS MET WITH DISAPPOINTMENT
BY PATRICK SKAHILL
TIMES STAFF WRITER
WEBSTER — Officials at Cranston Print
Works last week announced a massive production
scale back at their Worcester Road
facility — a move that will eliminate
approximately 75 jobs as the company
struggles to stay afloat in an increasingly
global and competitive textiles market.
“It’s a very difficult decision and a sad
day,” said Cranston President Andrew
Sylvia Friday, Jan 30. “This was a fine
group of people who gave everything they
had.”
The decision, which was reached by
Cranston’s Board of Directors Thursday,
Jan. 22, means all production jobs at the
Webster facility will be outsourced to
Korea, Taiwan, China and Pakistan by July
1.
Employees were notified of the cutbacks
Monday, Jan. 26, during a plant meeting.
Those laid off were given information
detailing severance options, Sylvia said.
Although 75 jobs will be phased out over
the coming months, Cranston will not close
its doors entirely in Webster — Sylvia said
approximately 50 positions will be kept in
distribution, put-up packaging, administration,
customer service, marketing, sales
and supply chain/global sourcing.
Officials said the outsourcing was necessary
to keep Cranston, who specializes in
cotton fabric by the yard, competitive globally.
“It’s a very competitive environment,”
Sylvia said. “Customers today have a lot of
supply [options] … the pie is shrinking.”
“The market place has become more customized
and less volume driven, causing
excess capacity and increased costs,” he
continued. “Moreover, as we have successfully
launched new product categories to
expand our business, many of these products
can not be produced in Webster. All of
these factors coupled with the dire economic
environment made it necessary to
change our business model.”

Cranston Print Works announced last week it would immediately begin to
phase out printing, finishing and engraving operations at its Webster
plant, cutting 75 jobs in Webster. Local officials have expressed their disappointment
with the announcement amid the current economic crisis.

The long road to recovery
BY PATRICK SKAHILL
TIMES STAFF WRITER
It’s hard to believe, but with
nomination papers either
already available, or ready for
pickup next week, the annual
spring elections are rapidly
approaching.
While it’s admittedly still
very early in the political season
(and many are struggling
to catch their breath following
a year of bankruptcies,
bailouts and Presidential ballyhoo)
we here at the Webster
Times felt it high time to give you a
quick look at the spring ballots, the
preliminary “who’s in and who’s
out” for certain positions and what
that could mean to you, the reader,
if you’re brave enough to think
about running in 2009.

Several seats are slated for reelection
in Dudley, including two
spots on the Board of Selectmen
and a projected open seat on the
Dudley-Charlton Regional School
Committee.
Last month, Board of
Selectmen Chairman Brain
Germain, who is currently finishing
his second three-year
term as chairman of the board,
announced his decision to not
seek a third term.
“I just felt that I have given
enough to the town and that it is
time to move on,” Germain said.
The Town Clerk’s office also
reports the three-year term of
Selectman Steven Sullivan will
also be up, but Sullivan, who
originally got on the board following
a recall and subsequent reelection,
said he is still not sure if
he will be running again.

SHEPHERD HILL GRAD
BY PATRICK SKAHILL
TIMES STAFF WRITER
Weeks ahead of a scheduled
deployment to Iraq, the life of 22-
year-old Jesse Melendez was
tragically interrupted by a devastating
motorcycle accident.
After 35 days in intensive care,
this young Navy soldier and 2005
Shepherd Hill graduate escaped
with his life, but was left with a
tear in his brain stem requiring
around-the-clock medical care.
“One of the doctors described
this to us as the worst brain
injury you can get,” said Jesse’s
aunt Selena Reich Monday, Feb.
2. “He said, ‘Picture the brain as
a 3D image made of glass and
that glass got tapped — now it’s
shattered all over.’”
While family members are
confident Jesse’s determination
and drive will carry him down
what’s promising to be a long
road to recovery — the money to
pay Jesse’s medical bills is nevertheless
rapidly disappearing.

Kujawski speaks out
LOCAL LEADER CRITICAL OF HOUSE SPEAKER SITUATION
BY ANDY LEVIN
STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER
Two of the area’s state lawmakers agree
that last week’s election of new House
Speaker Robert DeLeo, D-Winthrop, was
certainly not Beacon Hill’s finest hour.
State Representatives Paul Kujawski, D-
Webster, and Jennifer Callahan, D-Sutton,
both remain harshly critical of the process
that led to DeLeo succeeding former House
Speaker Salvatore DiMasi, who resigned
Jan. 26 amid grand jury probes and an
investigation by the state Ethics
Commission.
Kujawski and Callahan accused DiMasi of
essentially handing the gavel to DeLeo
Kujawski
behind closed doors. Both were initially
among the supporters of DeLeo’s rival for
the post, Rep. John Rogers, D-Norwood.
Kujawski said he was “completely disgusted”
by the situation and accused the exspeaker
of misrepresenting himself in a
ploy to get reappointed Jan. 7 that was meant
only to orchestrate DeLeo’s ascension.
“This was a complete handoff to the new
speaker,” Kujawski said. “[DiMasi] outright
deceived us. I had specifically asked him a lot
of questions with regard to the future of the
House and whether or not we could move for-

Recession a budget buster to towns
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ADNA
GOVERNOR’S CUTS SLASH LOCAL AID
BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL
STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER
They were spared the hurt
during last year’s round of state
budget cuts — but they can’t
hide from it now.
Gov. Deval Patrick last week
cut $128 million from local aid
for fiscal 2009, leaving area
towns scrambling for ways to
cover the holes in their budgets.
That’s not the worst news,
however, with the governor also
looking at local aid cuts for fiscal
2010.
The state is taking $327 million
from its reserve fund this
fiscal year to cover the budget
deficit, using tax settlement
cash and other measures to fix
the problem.
Under the fiscal 2009 cuts, two
towns — Southbridge and
Webster — will lose the most in
this area. Southbridge’s cut is
$426,673, while Webster lost
$300,288.
Charlton lost $157,400.
The immediate effect around
the region is unclear, as communities
have only have several
days to deal with the fallout.
Charlton Selectman Kathleen
Walker said she wants to dip
into the town’s reserve fund of
$1.6 million to cover the deficit.
No layoffs, she said, are expected
right now. All capital spending
was delayed last fall in anticipation
of the reductions, she
said.
Auburn Selectmen Bill
Gribbons said it is too early to
tell what affect his community
will felt. The town instituted a
hiring freeze last fall to stave off
more budget woes, he said.

Officials urge caution with sewer plan
BY PATRICK SKAHILL
TIMES STAFF WRITER
OXFORD — As Oxford’s sewer system continues
to operate at its state-mandated capacity
limit, town officials are urging patience
while engineers and planners work to coordinate
a 20-year plan aimed at outlining all
future capacity needs in town.
“We know with the economic conditions
the way they are currently that this is not
going to be a project that moves along immediately,”
Selectman John Saad said. “There’s
going to be a lot of bumps in the road … it has
to be understood that this is not going to happen
overnight.”
Last year, Town Meeting voters unanimously
authorized $171,000 for the development
of a Comprehensive Wastewater
Management Plan (CWMP).
The CWMP aims to unlock increased sewer
capacity for neighborhoods throughout
Oxford by identifying ways to better serve
residential, industrial and business zones not
currently tied in or suffering from failing
sewage systems.
This plan is required by the state
Department of Environmental Protection
(DEP) and the Massachusetts Water
Resources Commission before any additional
sewer capacity will be granted to the town.
Last Tuesday, Jan. 27, Department of
Public Works Director Sean Divoll, along
with members of the Citizens Advisory
Committee, presented the first phase of the
four-part CWMP to selectmen.
The detailed report identified 17 zones in
north, south and central Oxford as “need
areas” and proposed an estimated growth
flow of 945,553 gallons per day in these highlighted
spots.
Overall, the proposed CWMP expansion
would require an additional capacity of
roughly 1.2 million gallons per day when considering
currently tied-in areas.
Officials said they would present these
numbers to the state this month.
From there, Divoll said engineers will
move into phase two of the CWMP, working
to determine where this excess flow could be
sent.
All options will be explored, he said,
including increased collaboration and system
sharing with neighboring communities.
Thus far, planners reported roughly $91,000
of the $171,000 authorization was spent on
phase one of the CWMP study.
The remaining funds will be allocated for
phase two only, since voters have only signed
off on the first two phases of the project.
This means that once phase two is complete,
voters will have to authorize another
sum of cash for the final phases of the project.
Officials estimate this could cost upwards
of an additional $150,000.
While Citizens Advisory Committee member
Thomas Sullivan acknowledged the
$171,000 authorization was voted on during a
“different economic climate,” planners
argued this phased approach was still the
most cost effective for the town.
“We wanted to keep the scope tight,”
Sullivan said. “The phased approach seemed
to make sense.”
Officials did phases one and two separately,
Divoll agreed, because “this puts us in a better
position to dial in on phases three and
four and possibly save some money.”
Board of Selectmen Chairman Jennie
Caissie pressed planners on the “shelf life” of
the data presented Tuesday night, saying she
didn’t want to see all previously spent cash
and labor go to waste if voters decided to not
support the later phases of the project in
today’s declining economy.
“If [the data] were to sit for five years,
you’d have to make some adjustments,”
answered Environmental Engineer/
Consultant Meredith Zona. “But if it sat for a
couple of years you would probably be fine.”
Selectmen Dan Coonan agreed with
Caissie, adding, “We don’t want to get so far
into this only to turn around and lose all the
money.”
With phase one complete, Divoll said he
hopes to have phase two of the CWMP submitted
to the state by the summer.
Since the latter half of Oxford’s CWMP is
contingent on continued voter support, however,
Divoll said he couldn’t predict when
excess sewer capacity would be available for
Oxford residents.
CWMP planners did universally stress,
however, that all four phases must be completed
and submitted before the state will
uncap Oxford’s sewer capacity.

Kuros looks back on 2008 campaign
BY ANDY LEVIN
STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER
As chairman of the Uxbridge
Board of Selectmen, Kevin Kuros
is often compelled into taking the
middle ground — the voice of reason,
if you will.
That doesn’t mean he is afraid to
speak his mind. To the contrary,
Kuros pulls few punches when
discussing issues, especially
those involving the arena he ventured
into last fall — state politics. The
two-term selectman nearly scored the
biggest political upset in recent memory in
central Massachusetts, taking 47 percent
of the vote against Paul Kujawski, the
Webster Democrat who has represented
the 8th Worcester District since 1994.
As a conservative Republican running
against a well-entrenched incumbent in a
Democrat-dominated state — moreover, at
a time when GOP popularity was at record
lows across the country — Kuros almost
pulled off the equivalent of a political miracle.
He did it by visiting thousands of
homes across the district, the majority of
which are in Kujawski’s stronghold of
Webster and Dudley.
Now, almost three months after Election
Day, Kuros sounds very much like a man
who wants a rematch in 2010. Meanwhile,
he has his hands full overseeing the business
of Uxbridge at this time of national
economic meltdown.
Have you been able to put your race for
state representative in perspective?
“We went from 7 percent name recognition
in May to 47 percent of the vote in six
months. We’re pretty happy with what we
got in that short period of time.
One thing struck me, though: Everyone
knows about all the major votes — the gay
marriage vote, the marijuana vote, the
racetrack vote, the tax vote — those types
of things. But what nobody is really aware
of is the day-to-day votes that actually
affect your life. For example, next year’s
Massachusetts tax return is not going to
have a deduction for a home heating oil tax
credit because the Legislature voted to
eliminate that. I spent $700 to fill my oil
tank when oil was at its peak; that would
be great to be able to write that off on my
tax return. There’s almost no press coverage
of that. That’s the one thing that surprised
me the most when I was going door
to door — I would ask them, ‘Did you know
that Paul [Kujawski] voted to suspend the
home heating oil tax
credit, or that he
voted against
expanding the senior
citizen Circuit
Breaker tax break?’
They were surprised.
That’s
because no one is
there to act as a
BEMOANS STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS GOP
THE
WEBSTER
TIMES
INTERVIEW
watchdog. My campaign Web site
(www.kevinkuros.org) is still up
and I’m considering using it to
keep a running log showing what
the Legislature is up to.
The other interesting surprise
that came out of the campaigning
process is that people were much
nicer than I expected them to be.
You show up at their doorstep
unannounced — I knocked on 5,000
doors — and you tell them you are
running against someone who has
been there 14 years. People were typically
very nice, much nicer than I am when
someone shows up at my house unannounced.
It teaches you humility and also
restores your faith in people. That was positive.”
Looking back, what would you have
done differently in the campaign?
“… We did the majority of our door knocking
in Webster and Dudley, where Paul was
strongest. The fact that we took the other
towns without doing as much shows we
targeted the right areas. The next time we
do this, I’ve got about 250 sign placements
ready to go, including in Webster and
Dudley. That means 250 potential cocktail
parties or picnics. I think as far as breaking
through, you just have to get to know
more people. You share your message, you
don’t change who you are, and if they’re
on board, they’re on board. It’s just going
to mean more groundwork.”
Your fellow Republican and selectman,
Mike Potaski, recently described the
state GOP as being dysfunctional. Do
you agree?
“It is and I’ll share an example with you: I
was at a Republican gathering and I spoke
with two legislators, looking for some support.
The first one told me he would tell
Paul that he tried to talk me out of running,
but that he would work with me
behind the scenes. He said there is an
unwritten rule that ‘we don’t work against
our brethren because we have to work with
them on committees’ and that kind of
thing. The second one… the blood kind of
drained out of his face when I said I was
going to run and it was a very strained and
strange conversation. When I got home I
did some online research, and discovered
that that legislator’s spouse had donated to
Paul’s campaign. So they are afraid of losing
committee appointments and that type
Water quality concerns?
We can help.

Kuros: ‘I tend to think we need to have a brand that
should be focused on fiscal sensibility, family and
smaller government.’
of thing. My question is: What more power
could possibly be taken away from
Republican legislators at this point?
There’s so little left to lose by actively campaigning
[for a Republican]. There was
only a handful that reached out to me —
[Rep.] George Peterson wrote me a check
out of his campaign fund. But I wrote to
every single Republican who did not have
an opponent just asking for a $100 donation
— I went ‘o-for.’ That’s indicative of
how we are so afraid of losing what we
have; we are not willing to stick our necks
out to expand what we have. That’s a problem.
There’s also the question of whether to
have a ‘big tent’ or a ‘small tent.’ I tend to
think we need to have a brand that should
be focused on fiscal sensibility, family and
smaller government. That’s a brand. If
we’re just going to be ‘Democrat Light,’
then people should vote for the real thing.
It’s a challenge.”
What led you to become a conservative?
Were you raised in a Republican
family, or was there some outside experience?
“I grew up the son of a union steelworker
in a suburb of Pittsburgh, so I was raised
as a Democrat. I went away to college and,
as fate would have it, I was paired up with
an ultra right-wing roommate. We argued
politics all the time and eventually I found
myself defending positions that I really
didn’t believe in. It was kind of like a light
switch for me. I used to hear that
Republicans are not socially conscience
and that they are selfish. But this kid’s
mother didn’t have to work outside the
home, yet she volunteered 40 hours a week
for social organizations. I learned you can
be Republican and socially responsible,
you can be a Republican and not selfish.”

Finalists picked for Quaboag principal
PHOTO OF THE WEEK
BARTLETT, SHEPHERD HILL STAFFERS IN THE RUNNING
BY DAVID DORE
STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER
WARREN — Three assistant principals
from three southern
Worcester County schools have
advanced to the final round of the
search for a new Quaboag Regional
Middle/High School principal.
The ultimate decision will be made
by Brett Kustigian, who will become
Quaboag’s superintendent of schools
next week. He has worked with one of
the finalists and knows the other two.
On Monday, Jan. 26, Kustigian and
district administrators met with
John L. Daniel of Southbridge, who
works at Bartlett Junior/Senior
High School in Webster; Robert
O’Brien of Charlton, from Shepherd
Hill Regional High School in Dudley;
and Gregory B. Myers of East
Woodstock, Conn., from Douglas
High School, where Kustigian was
principal from 2005 until he resigned
earlier this month.
Kustigian interviewed the finalists
for about 45 minutes each Monday
afternoon, then administrators
spoke with them for another 25 minutes.
Daniel, Myers and O’Brien spent
half a day at the high school last
week, speaking with Interim
Principal David Driscoll and Vice
Principal Daniel Roy, and having
lunch with students after a tour of
the building.
“At this time I have no decision,”
Kustigian told the Quaboag Regional
School Committee Monday night,
adding that he wants to make a decision
“as soon as possible. I just want
to leave no stone unturned and make
sure the process is flawless.”
Daniel has been assistant principal
of Bartlett High since February 2001,
and served as interim principal of
Anthony J. Sitkowski Middle School
for four months in 2004. Before that,
he was a health teacher and certified
athletic trainer at Bartlett from 1987-
2001, and a teacher and trainer at
Southbridge High School from 1986-
87.
He earned a Certificate of
Advanced Graduate Study in
Education Administration in 2003
from Simmons College in Boston, a
Master of Education in Health
Education from Worcester State
College and a Bachelor of Science in
Physical Education (with a concentration
in sport management) from
the University of Massachusetts.
Webster Remembers ...
“Chase
Mansion,
1880”
O’Brien’s educational career has
been spent at Shepherd Hill, starting
in 1997 when he was hired as an
English teacher. He served as athletic
director from 1999-2003, director of
the school’s Alternative
Reinforcement Program in 2002-03,
and has been assistant principal
since 2003. He was in the United
States Army and Army Reserves
from 1985-92 and served in the 1991
Persian Gulf War. He earned his
bachelor’s degree in English from
UMass and his Master’s of
Education in secondary education
from Worcester State College.
Myers has been at Douglas High
School since 1996, serving as an
English teacher until becoming
assistant principal in July 2006. He
was also the school’s athletic director
from 1997-2006. He earned his
Bachelor of Arts degree in English
from Wheaton College in Illinois in
1993 and his Master of Arts in education
from Assumption College in
2003.
According to Associate
Superintendent Elizabeth Zielinski,
a screening committee received 15
applications and interviewed 10 people.
Members then wrote down the
names of “who they felt would be a
good person to put forward to the
incoming superintendent,” she said
Friday, Jan. 23. “These three received
almost an equal number of votes.”
Zielinski said Kustigian was not a
part of the first round of interviews
— and will not hire someone using
just his own impressions. Because
the new principal will have to work
closely with Quaboag’s vice principal,
she said, “his input weighs very
heavily.”
And although Kustigian worked
directly with Myers in Douglas, “he
is familiar with all three candidates
with his professional experiences,”
Zielinski said.
The previous Quaboag principal,
Michael Rooney, resigned this past
summer to become director of guidance
at Pathfinder Regional
Vocational Technical High School in
Palmer.
BIDDING FAREWELL
With Kustigian readying to lead
the high school and elementary
schools in Warren and West
Brookfield, Edward Malvey
announced Monday night he was
attending his final meeting as interim
superintendent of schools. He
said he would occasionally come
back to the district to help Kustigian
out as needed.
“I have enjoyed every moment
being here,” said Malvey, who has
served as interim superintendent
since July 2007.
He added later “it’ll be nice to have
some evenings free” to spend time
with his children and grandchildren,
but he did not rule out becoming an
assistant superintendent someday.
“I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoy
what I do,” Malvey said.
Serving as head of the Quaboag
district was a homecoming for the
Sturbridge resident, who was superintendent-principal
in West
Brookfield from 1980-1988 and
Quaboag assistant superintendent
from 1988-1989. Malvey also was a
consultant for the renovation of West
Brookfield Elementary School and
construction of Warren Community
Elementary School.
ELECTION TIMELINE
Anyone wanting to run for a seat
on the School Committee will have a
chance starting next week.
Nomination forms for Warren and
West Brookfield voters running for
the school board for the first time
will be available starting Feb. 4 at the
superintendent’s office, in the
Shepard Municipal Building in
Warren, and must be turned in by
March 20.
Incumbents seeking re-election
only have to send a letter to the
superintendent announcing their
intentions.
There will be four seats on the
School Committee on the May
Annual Town Election ballot: the
Warren seats now held by Daniel
Korzec and Donna Goudreau, and
the West Brookfield seats held by
John Dolan and Leane Pierce.
Warren and West Brookfield residents
will vote May 5 for all four
seats, with the top two cumulative
vote getters in each town declared
the winners.
For more information on the nomination
process, call the superintendent’s
office at (413) 436-9256.
David Dore may be reached at (508)
909-4140, or by e-mail at ddore@stonebridgepress.com.
The John M. Chase family
lived in this building on
Webster’s Main Street in
the mid through late
1800’s. An adjoining lot
became the site of
Webster’s first post office
in 1912. Mr. Chase,
owner of John Chase
Woolen Co., with a mill in
Dudley’s Chaseville section,
is believed to be the
gentleman in the foreground
wearing a high
silk hat, standing with his
children. Older residents
might remember the
building as a commercial
property. Four stores
were added to the front of
the mansion, occupied in
1962 by John B. Chauvin groceries, The Stadium Candy Kitchen, Vel’s Jewelers, and Smith & Duffy dry goods store. The federal
government took the property in that year for a new, expanded post office. The Chase house was on what is now the post office
parking lot.

LEARNING
Athletic handbook update stresses school spirit, pride
BY PATRICK SKAHILL
TIMES STAFF WRITER
OXFORD — While technology
may have moved teenagers’ social
playgrounds from the school cafeteria
to the Internet and cellular
towers, Oxford High School
Principal Kevin Wells says he is
making it a top priority to ensure
his students stay grounded in
real-world networks, participate
in extracurricular activities and
carry a strong sense of school
spirit.
“Today, there are just so many
distractions out there,” Wells said. “Some
kids aren’t getting invested in school … and
they are missing out on opportunities to do
something constructive in a good atmosphere.”
Since taking the helm in September, Wells
said he and many administrators have been
working hard to reiterate the high school’s
mission statement and codify the school’s
athletic expectations — two moves Wells
believes will increase school spirit and teach
students the important life lesson of representing
themselves and the school with
Wells
grace, civility and confidence.
“To me, school spirit is one of
the components that equals pride,”
Wells said. “And if there’s one
thing we all need to take into life
it’s pride — pride in our school,
pride in our work and pride in our
family.”
“Not that we didn’t have [school
spirit] before, because we did, but I
want to increase it,” Wells added.
“With our new athletic policy …
the expectations of all stakeholders
is very clear … we are trying to
reinforce, through positive promotion,
character building [and] at OHS we will
win, lose and tie with class.”
The handbook, which was drafted under
the direction of Athletic Director John
Doldoorian Jr., will go into effect during the
upcoming spring athletic season and covers a
wide array of topics from substance abuse to
fan decorum.
Wells said the handbook will require a student
and parent’s signature before athletes
can participate in sports.
Starting in the fall, the school also hopes to
begin a policy where all attendees to the
school’s sporting events will be handed cards
OXFORD MIDDLE SCHOOL SECOND QUARTER HONOR ROLL
containing spectator expectations at the ticketing
gate.
In addition to spelling out the rules, the
handbook makes positive suggestions for
what is considered proper conduct both on
and off the athletic field, Wells said.
But these suggestions don’t just restrict
themselves to players. In fact, Wells stressed,
a large portion of the book is dedicated to
parental conduct and parent-coach interactions.
The book even carries a section dedicated
to the proper ways of approaching a coach
and suggestions as to how parents can
encourage their children to greater levels of
achievement on the playing field.
“We really tried to make the policy about
the whole community — not just the student,”
Wells said.
Currently, about 200 students participate in
athletics at Oxford High School.
The school’s biggest season by far, Wells
said, is the fall when students turn out in
high volumes to play football and soccer —
two of the school’s most popular sports.
Many other students also participate in
one or more alternative extracurricular
activities, including Student Council, band,
theater and the school’s nationally recognized
Naval Junior Reserve Officer Training
Corps (NJROTC) program.
In recent months, Wells has been pushing
for even more innovative programs — a guitar
club just started after school — because
he says getting students and teachers to
interact out of the traditional classroom setting
is vitally important.
“It lets the kids see teachers in a different
light,” Wells said. “With the guitar club we
have these kids, many of whom might not
want to play a sport, and after school they are
just sitting down with [their teachers] and
they’re having a jam.”
This teacher-student interaction, Wells
said, feeds directly into the school’s mission
statement of “educating the whole student …
mind and body” and administrators are hopeful
their pride and genuine concern as educators
will continue to filter down to each student.
“The [teachers] are trying to interact a lot
with the kids,” Wells said, smiling, “especially
the ones that don’t want it.”

Sgt. Dean Poplawski, center with plaque, was recognized Thursday, Jan. 29, by the Massachusetts Association of School Committees as a Community Leader for
Public Education. Poplawski’s award was one of only three given statewide. He is pictured with Police Chief Steven Wojnar and staff members at Dudley Middle
School.
Poplawski awarded for years of DARE service
BY PATRICK SKAHILL
TIMES STAFF WRITER
CHARLTON — Police officers
certainly don’t enter the force seeking
recognition, but every now and
then it would be borderline criminal
to not give them the thanks they
deserve.
Such was the message given by
members of the Dudley-Charlton
Regional School Committee to Sgt.
Dean Poplawski Thursday, Jan. 29,
in recognition of the officer’s years
of service to the Dudley Middle
School’s DARE program.
Poplawski was awarded the
Massachusetts Association of the
School Committees “Community
Leader in Public Education” award
— one of only three awards given
statewide.
Dudley Middle School Principal
Gregg Desto nominated the sergeant.
“He’s been a good role model and
I think as [the students] grow up
they are going to grow up with a
respect for law enforcement,” Desto
said. “He works great with the staff
… and has been a great help to me.”
Poplawski said last week he was
Bartlett Jr./Sr. High School
Scholarship Opportunity
The Rita Zelinski Gelinas Student and
Alumni Scholarships for the study of math
or science are now available through the
Bartlett High School Guidance Department.
Any Bartlett Alumnus who is or will be
pursuing full-time graduate studies in math
or science is welcome to apply for the Alumni
Scholarship.
Any present senior who attends Bartlett Jr.
Sr. High School and is pursing a career in a
science or mathematics discipline is also
encouraged to apply for the Student
Scholarship.
Both applications are available in the
Bartlett High School Guidance Office.
Applications are due in the guidance department
by Friday, March 13.
In Memory of Cheryl Marier
“incredibly surprised to hear about
this” award and added he only
learned about it earlier in the
month following his return from a
vacation.
“I think in law enforcement and
in education you don’t get a lot of
thanks so this really means a lot to
me,” Poplawski said.
According to Desto, Sgt.
Poplawski teaches the school’s
sixth grade DARE program and is
the main fundraiser, scheduler, lesson
planner and advocate for the
program.
Handouts given to the School
Committee last week described the
sergeant as “a recognizable person
and positive presence for the children
and the community.”
The entire sixth grade staff at
Dudley Middle School was on hand
for the presentation Tuesday night
— something Poplawski said was
extremely meaningful to him.
“You are all role models to me,”
he said.
“I think this is the first time
we’ve ever given out an award with
a full faculty force behind the person
getting the nomination,”

Marier Scholarship Fund.” The fund will

Sacred Heart University
FAIRFIELD, Conn. — Sacred Heart
University in Farifield, Conn., has
announced that Heather Penniman of
Dudley has earned Dean’s List honors for the
fall 2008 semester.
Bryant University
Superintendent Sean Gilrein joked.
“It’s a credit to what you do.”
“You’re creating a positive atmosphere
at all the schools that goes far
beyond reaches that you can see
everyday,” Gilrein said.
In other business, Gilrein
announced a $10,000 donation from
Marilyn Fels to the school district.
“I am enclosing a $10,000 donation
for immediate use for the students,”
Fels wrote in a letter to
Gilrein. “Perhaps there is an athletics
or music or unfunded arts program,
new sports or music uniforms
or something else that is
urgently needed.”
Gilrein said the money may be
used for new uniforms for the track
team or to plug up other monetary
holes following state 9C cuts to
transportation aid and other
accounts.
“It couldn’t be at a better time,”
Gilrein acknowledged.
In light of last December’s ice
storm, officials last week also
announced they plan to move the
town’s emergency shelter from
Shepherd Hill to the Dudley Middle
School.
SMITHFIELD, R.I. — The fall semester
Dean’s List at Bryant University includes the
following area residents
• Cassandra Bent, a freshman in
Communication, of Webster;
The move will be made because
recent tests showed Shepherd Hill’s
generator capacity was not adequate
to fulfill the needs of a townwide
shelter.
Gilrein said the 52-kilowatt generator
could not adequately supply
power to run the school’s kitchen or
refrigerators and classroom lights.
Offices could also not be powered.
According to officials, the move
to Dudley Middle School still needs
to be approved by the American Red
Cross and local EMS responders.
“If acceptable to police, fire and
the American Red Cross, I would
recommend that Dudley Middle
School become the initial emergency
shelter site in Dudley,”
Gilrein wrote to School Committee
members. “[Their] generator has
the capacity to run virtually every
essential area of the building and
would meet or exceed the current
arrangements offered at Shepherd
Hill.”

LEARNING
Webster resident a Northbridge superintendent finalist
BY THOMAS MATTSON
STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER
NORTHBRIDGE — The
Northbridge School Committee
expects to choose a new superintendent
very soon.
There are three finalists for the
job, and they were all interviewed
Wednesday, Feb. 4, in the
Northbridge High School library,
after the Webster Times’ deadline.
One of the finalists is Webster
resident Susan Gorky, who works
in the Marlborough school system.
The other finalists are Susan
Cote, of the East Bridgewater
School District, and Kelly
Clenchy, of the Orono, Maine,
schools.
The panel will decide on one of
the three candidates to succeed
interim Superintendent Henry
O’Donnell. O’Donnell had served
as superintendent of Northbridge
schools for 11 years, retiring in
2005.
Paul Soojian of Leicester succeeded
O’Donnell, but after three
years at the helm, Soojian
resigned to take a similar job with
the Leicester schools.
The finalists have been visiting
Northbridge schools over the past
week. Northbridge School
Committee members visited all
three sites where finalists work.
The new superintendent is
expected to begin in Northbridge
on July 1.
Gorky is currently the director
of Institutional Advancement and
Special Programs for
Marlborough public schools.
Before beginning her current
assignment in August 2008, Gorky
was principal of a number of
schools, including East Main
Street School in Spencer from
1982 to 1985; Brookfield
Elementary School from 1985-
1987; Francis Kane School in
Marlborough from 1987 to 2001;
Charles J. Jaworek School, also in
Marlborough, from 2001-2004;
Marlborough Intermediate
Elementary School, from 2004-
2008. In her letter of application,
Gorky noted Marlborough public
schools have an enrollment of
4,597 housed in six buildings. The
intermediate elementary school
she headed over four years had an
enrollment of 740 in grades 4 and
5 and 120 staff members.
Gorky received both her undergraduate
degree — a bachelor of
arts in Elementary Education —
at Worcester State College and a
Master of Education in
Leadership and Administration
there. She has a master’s degree
plus 60 in continuing education
credits, also from Worcester State
College. She described her professional
mission as “to utilize my
skills in curriculum, instruction
and professional development,
leadership experience, participatory
management style and creative
abilities to bring excellence
to district-wide educational programs
and exemplary schools.”
Gorky said it is her goal “to
work in a district that will promote
a collaborative environment
where the family, school and community
work together.”
“Your focus on students is clear
along with rigorous expectations
for all learners,” she said to the
committee. “The future of our
children depends on what we set
in motion today.”
“I will maintain and develop
Northbridge’s vision of excellence,”
she said, “and I will clearly
articulate and communicate
that vision to the staffs, parents
and community members.”
She wrote of her intention to
help guide students to “work to
their full potential and of a “faculty
committed to meeting the
individual challenges posed by
each student in a direction that
focuses not only on high expectations
and student achievement
but also the social and emotional
growth of each child.”
“My involvement with the
development of the Committee
Core of Learning for the State of
Massachusetts marked the beginning
of long-term immersion in
the review and revision of the
Marlborough curriculum and its
subsequent alignment to the state
standards as promulgated by the
Board of Education,” she said.
Gorky spoke of the importance
of public relations. But she said
“the success of education in any
setting is found within the hearts
of the classroom teachers.”
Education experiences she presented
as strengthening her ability
to serve as a superintendent
was her chairmanship of the
Massachusetts Elementary
Central Alliance, Professional
Development Organization for
Thirteen Communities, her mentorship
of principals, and her
membership on the
Massachusetts Statewide
Frameworks Advisory Council.
Cote is currently the assistant
superintendent of the East
Bridgewater Public Schools.
She received a bachelor of science
in education degree from
Bridgewater State College in 1981,
a master’s degree in education in
curriculum and instruction from
Boston College in 1987, and a
Certificate of Advanced Graduate
Studies from Fitchburg State
College in 1997. She anticipates
completing work for a doctorate
in Educational Leadership from

She taught for 12 years in the
Swansea Public Schools, the last
six as chair of the school system’s
science department. In 2000 and
2001, during a one-year sabbatical,
she was Statewide Science
Coordinator for the
Massachusetts Department of
Education.
In that capacity, she coordinated
and supervised the writing of

with the MCAS test-writing committees
and provided professional
development throughout the state
on standards-based curriculum.
She served as principal of
Swansea Public Schools for three
years and was assistant superintendent
of Swansea schools from
2001 to 2005. She has been assistant
superintendent of the East
Bridgewater schools since 2005.
Cote is currently an instructor at
American International College
and was an instructor at
Fitchburg State College from
2002-2005. The graduate courses
range from “Teaching
Mathematics: Elementary and
Early Childhood” to “Supervision

managing No Child Left Behind
[NCLB] grants, overseeing all
NCLB initiatives, coordinating all
district professional development
activities, coordinating and overseeing
the analysis of all student
data and coordinating and overseeing
all PK-12 curriculum,
instruction and assessment initiatives.”
Of her search for a superintendent
position, Cote said her priority
is “to find a district that is looking
for a strong instructional
leader with moral purpose that
will be actively involved in the
process of teaching and learning.”
Clenchy, superintendent of
Orono and Veazie school district
in Maine, obtained a bachelor’s
degree in education from the
University of Calgary in Alberta,
Canada, in 1988. He focused on the
biological sciences. He also did
graduate work at the university
from 1988 to 1990. In 1991 he
received a Master’s degree in
Education from Gonzaga
University in Spokane, Wash. He
took additional courses, in elementary
leadership, at Queen’s
University in Kingston, Ontario
in 2007-2008.
“As a ‘retired’ coach,” Clenchy
wrote, “I understand the importance
of team-building, whether
it is at the school level, district
level, or within a school board.”
“It is no different from the
finest of orchestral conductors
who work to ensure that a section
of their orchestra sounds like one
voice,” Clenchy continued. “A
coach does the same,” he said.
“You work to ensure that your
team plays as if one, knowing
where the other members are on
the court at all times,” he
declared. “Education is the same.
If we want our school districts to
move to the next level, we need to
ensure that we are on the same
page, and operate with one voice.
We are a team, an orchestra, a
school family.”
Clenchy explained that School
Union 87 in Maine, of which he is
superintendent, includes two separate
school districts within
Orono and Veazie.
“The superintendent is responsible
for the oversight of the two
school districts and employs a
leadership team that provides
support to the schools,” Clenchy
said.
As examples of “pertinent
focus,” he referred to “district
discipline policy formation, special
education services, fiscal
accountability, student and staff
equity, staff professional development,
curriculum and assessment
review as well as providing leadership
for school district regionalization
efforts.”
Clenchy was chairman of the
Regional Intersectoral Provincial
Committee in Saskatchewan He
said it involved “working with
CEOs from justice, health, social
services and education to develop
a service plan that provided support
to at-risk families. He said
the committee was responsible
for developing a new service
model that provided seamless
support to families at risk within
a large area.”
At the Herbert School Division
in Herbert, Saskatchewan,
Canada, where Clenchy was the
director from 2000 to 2004, he
supervised all aspects of the
regional school district. That
included formation of “a five-year
vision plan, financial visioning,
technology planning, audio/visual
computer assisted instruction
delivery, online course development
and implementation, development
of an inter-school district
shared services program, professional
development programs
that included core actualization,
data driven instruction as well as
a school plus provincial initiative.

REGIONAL NEWS
PD building to be placed on the market
BY PATRICK SKAHILL
TIMES STAFF WRITER
OXFORD — Saying they want to have “a
couple irons in the fire” when it comes to the
soon-to-be-vacated police building on Main
Street, selectmen last week unanimously
voted to place the aging structure back on the
real estate market.
The action, which can be withdrawn at any
time before a sale is finalized, was suggested
by Selectman Susan Gallant and billed by the
entire board as a quick way to get the building
back on the tax rolls and generating revenue.
For months, Oxford’s School Department
has expressed an interest in moving its
cramped administration offices — currently
located in a house across from the library —
to the more spacious police department.
Last week, Superintendent Ernie Boss said
he was “a little bit disappointed” with the
board’s decision, but added he “understands
what they are doing,” especially considering
the current state of the economy.
“It’s their building, if they want to sell it to
generate some extra revenue that’s their
[decision] … I respect that,” Boss said.
CAISSIE: UNANIMOUS VOTE A ‘NO-BRAINER’
Officials are hopeful
“
the police department
will move out of its
current 4,000-squarefoot
structure and into
its new home next to
the middle school by
July 1.
Town Manager Joe
Zeneski said he was
pleased to report construction
was proceeding
on schedule at
the site.
He told selectmen
he would draft his
request for buyer proposals using language
reflexive of that July 1 availability date.
Last month, Zeneski told Selectmen he estimated
renovations at the old police department
would run somewhere in the range of
$500,000 to $750,000 to convert the ailing structure
into offices for school use.
Boss said school
officials had used
town architects to
draw up a quick
schematic for the renovations,
but stressed
these designs were
”
done at no additional
costs to the town.
“There was no
expense involved” in
the investigation of
the move to the old
police station, Boss
said.
Board of Selectmen
Chairman Jennie Caissie and others balked
at the conversion idea last week, however,
arguing the aging facility would find a better
home in the private sector rather than eating
up more town resources.
“The building has used its public life,”
Caissie said. “This is absolutely the way to go
It’s their building, if they
want to sell it to generate
some extra revenue that’s
their [decision] …
I respect that.
- Ernest Boss, on the town’s decision to put
the Oxford Police Department building on
the real estate market last week.
… it’s a no brainer.”
Selectmen John Saad agreed, calling
attention to other vacant town-owned
spaces scattered throughout Oxford —
including the Woodward Elementary
School in North Oxford and the partially
vacated community center on Main Street,
which he said had many unused classrooms
doing nothing but draining town utilities.
“[The old police station] is right on Main
Street and looks like it’s in an ideal spot for
business,” he said. “I encourage the school
department to look at other alternatives
including the community center.”
Currently, Boss said his department is not
looking at “any other alternatives” and
added that the Woodward School isn’t really
an option, considering it currently houses
the district’s Head Start program.
“I wouldn’t want to displace something like
that for offices,” Boss said.

Bay Path, Shepherd Hill team up on storage plans
STUDENTS WILL BUILD
AT THE DUDLEY SCHOOL
BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL
STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER
CHARLTON — Shepherd Hill Regional
High School plans to start building a new
storage facility as quickly as possible.
The Bay Path Regional Vocational
Technical High School committee made that
possible at its Monday, Feb. 2 meeting. They
approved having students build the facility at
Shepherd Hill. It will house computer parts,
custodial equipment and pallets of paper.
“That’s fantastic news,” said Dudley-
Charlton Regional School District
Superintendent Sean M. Gilrein.
Moving that stuff out of the high school
will free more space for classes, according to
Gilrein. Bay Path students will start construction,
he said, after the plans are finalized
and bids are completed. He hopes to have
the building finished by the end of this
school year. The building is part of a larger
project to find or build administrative new
office space and create more classroom space.
Last year, Dudley and Charlton voters
rejected a debt-exclusion that would have
allowed the district to build office and storage
space at a site near Shepherd Hill, with
money already on hand.
Gilrein said he was thankful the two
schools can work together.
“It is great that we have this type of relationship
between the two schools,” he said.
HOUSE BUILDING
As part of Bay Path’s 2009-2010 house-building
program, the committee approved constructing
a 3,2000-square-feet home in
Spencer for Sutton resident Terrance
Maloney. The two-story home will be located
at 113 Wilson Ave. and be valued at $220,000.
This will be the first house under the annual
program to be built in that town, according to
Superintendent David Papagni.
“This looks like an excellent project,” he
said.
DON MONTVILLE
Papagni announced this week that Donald
Montville the school’s current Assistant
Vocational Director, will be the new
Vocational Director starting in July. He is
replacing Tom Mroczek, who is retiring.
Montville was pleased.
“I want to thank Dave [Papagni] for the vote
of confidence,” he
said.
CALENDAR
The committee
approved the academic
calendar for next
year, which includes
eight days for
inclement weather.
School will start
Tuesday, Sept. 1 and
Wednesday, June, at
11 a.m. After
Principal
Cloutier
Clifford
mentioned
the eight days, Papagni jokingly forecasted
next year’s winter weather.
“We’re not going to have snow next year,”
he said.
FOREST STEWARDSHIP
Papagni said the school plans to award the
forest stewardship plan contract to Pomfret,
Conn.-based Hull Forest after receiving a
$17,375.30 bid from the firm. N.E.
Timberlands LLC submitted a bid for $15,500,
he said.
The plan calls for damaged trees to be
removed and to conserve den or nest trees.
DONATIONS
The committee also approved a series of
donations for its BattleBots IQ program,
totaling $1,890. Charlton House of Pizza, the
Southbridge Fire Department and Lions
Club are just a few of the donors on the list.
Papagni also reported that
Swissturn/USA, based in Oxford, donated
raw material bar stock for the machine shop.
Shrewsbury-based Metso Automation donated
three skids and steel for the shop.
FEDERAL STIMULUS PACKAGE
Timothy Cahill, chairman of the state
School Building Authority, which appropriates
money to construct new school buildings,
recommended giving some of the cash
from President Obama’s proposed federal
stimulus package, to regional vocational
schools. The skills builders would learn, he
said, would boost the economy. The stimulus
package, which the U.S. House of
Representatives has approved, was scheduled
to go to the U.S. Senate this week.

Domestic
violence too
common
Astory in our sister daily
paper earlier this month
(and ran in last week’s edition
of The Times) shed
light on the frequency of domestic
violence cases heard in Dudley
District Court.
Of course, domestic violence doesn’t
just happen in this corner of
Southern Worcester County. It doesn’t
just happen in this state. It is an
epidemic throughout the country.
Here in Massachusetts, the statistics
remain sobering, although in
2008 there was some reason for hope
that intervention and other methods
are having an impact. Still, too many
people are falling victim to domestic
violence. And too many of them are
paying the ultimate price.
Between 2003-08 there were 163
homicides as a result of domestic violence.
There were, according to Jane
Doe. Inc., 25 in 2008, an increase of
six over 1993, but a decrease of 17
from 2007, when there were 42.
What the Jane Doe Inc. found troubling
was that, in the cases studied
over the past five years, few victims
of domestic violence had received
services from local domestic violence
programs. What’s more, few, if any, of
the perpetrators had taken part in a
batterer’s intervention program.
It isn’t at all surprising that in
Dudley District Court one day this
month, there were at least six cases
involving allegations of domestic
abuse. Not surprising — but certainly
sobering.
There are a variety of causes that
call for our attention and assistance
in this area, with no small amount of
them devoted to fighting cancer.
Residents throughout this area have
always stepped up to the plate in that
regard.
It is much more difficult to get people
to stand up to and for domestic
violence. That, however, is precisely
what is needed if the next victim is to
be protected. A phone call to police, to
family members, or to a close friend
— a witness who ignores the victim’s
pleas to remain silent. Only when
more voices are heard can a truly
effective campaign against domestic
violence be waged.
Locally, one resource for victims or
witnesses of domestic violence, especially
for children, is the Worcester
Community Action Council. The
Domestic Violence Hotline can be
reached at 800-799-SAFE (7233). If
you’re a parent, and you feel stressed
to the point where violence toward
your children could occur, the Parent
Stress Hotline is 800-632-8188.
It may be easier said than done, but
a louder voice must be given to
domestic violence — now.

Clearing snow from your
car could save a life
This has certainly been a
rough winter for snow and
ice. The consistent cold
weather makes it difficult
for the snow to melt in any rapid
fashion. With this in mind, it is
extremely important to remove
excess snow from the rooftops of
your vehicles.
I recently received a question
about this and it has been widely discussed
in the news. I was asked to
remind people of the importance of
taking this one additional safety
step.
The laws are rather vague on exactly if
removing snow from a vehicle’s roof is
required. Massachusetts General Laws
Chapter 90 Section 13 is the law that addresses
“impeded” operation. Drivers are not
allowed to have anything on or about their
vehicle that may interfere with the safe operation
of the vehicle. This can directly pertain
to the removal of snow and ice from windshields.
However, it is not specific to snow on
vehicle rooftops. The danger lies in not
removing this in a prompt manner. The snow
has a tendency to melt and re-freeze creating
an ice sheet. When traveling at higher speeds,
as on a highway, the wind can move under
this ice and send it flying off the vehicle. It
could then land on or around another vehicle
traveling along the road.
The results of this can be very serious.
Despite the damage this may cause to another
vehicle, it could have even greater consequences
should this land on another vehicle’s
windshield. The driver may not be able to see
and this could result in an accident. If there
is an accident involved, the fact that the
snow/ice was not removed prior to the trip
could be considered as a negligent act on the
part of that driver. Therefore, this person
may bear some responsibility for the accident.
The Legislature is taking up this
specific issue during their latest session.
If a law is created, it will mandate
the removal of snow and ice.
However, it should not take a law to
accomplish this simple task. A few
extra minutes spent on clearing
snow from your car could save a life.
I wish to congratulate Sgt. Dean
Poplawski on being recognized by
the Massachusetts Association of
School Committees as a Community

Dudley Middle School Principal

Sgt. Poplawski’s efforts in instructing the

A question
of quantity
vs.
quality
Perhaps we don’t really have all the
facts. Perhaps it’s really none of
our business. But the story last
week about a California woman
who gave birth to octuplets is nevertheless
intriguing.
Who among us, upon hearing the headlines,
did not immediately assume that “fertility
drugs” were somehow involved? Who did not
worry about the condition
of the eight infants? Who
did not wonder how — or
why — this ready-made
eight-is-enough family
even came to be?
Did anyone among us
AS YOU
LIKE IT
MARK
ASHTON
say, “Well done! Good
job!”? Or did we wonder if
science and medicine had
once again “slipped up”?
Did we pray for them all
but still ask “how did this
happen?”
Perhaps we STILL don’t
have all the facts. Perhaps
it’s still really none of our
business, but the details
that trickled in late last week only added to the
fears and worries and consternation.
For one thing, we’ve not heard about a
spouse — a husband, a potential father — anywhere
in all of this. Is this mother to face the
prospects of rearing eight infants all at once
all alone? Well, no. She eventually was found
to be living with her parents (or were they
grandparents?). And besides, she already had
four other children living at home.
So now there are 12 children — all preschool
age, I believe — living with three adults (two of
retirement age) in a three-bedroom home. Is
this a triumph — or will it prove a tragedy —
of quantity over quality?
Well, children have grown up and prospered
in much worse environments. Both Abe
Lincoln and Barack Obama were short a parent
(or two) at times. They endured deprivation
and were strengthened by the experience.
But, they didn’t have quite so many siblings to
compete with for time, attention, and the milk
of human kindness.
In the case of the California woman, one
wonders why she felt the need, without a helpmeet
at hand, for more than the four children
already at home. And then we got to wondering
just how this egg-implantation program is
supposed to work. Why were eight fertilized
eggs implanted in her womb as potential offspring?
Was she expected to lose (or terminate)
most of them?
How surprised were the fertility “experts”
when all eight eggs blossomed into viable
fetuses? How surprised was the woman? How
shocked were the fertility experts when the
woman decided she would/could terminate
none? Was there a point at which she decided
to simply “go for the record” and hope for the
best?
I guess my real question is: Who gets to
decide such things? Who determined with —
or for — this mother that she was indeed a
candidate for fertilized egg implantation? Is it
simply a matter of supply and demand? Is
there a market of would-be mothers who can’t
conceive by “normal” means but who can
afford to conceive by extra-marital means, and
therefore science is the willing accomplice?
Are ethical considerations made anywhere
in the process? Just because science and medicine
CAN do something, does that mean they
should be doing it? Who gets to decide? And by
what guidelines?
Is the mother to be commended for her
refusal to terminate any of the viable fetuses
(yes!) or merely to be pitied for the hardship
she has hereby heaped upon herself, her
housemates (the grandfather has hinted at the
need to come out of retirement to help with
household finances a bit), and her offspring
(all 12 of them)? If she wanted still more children
(she’s apparently still quite young and, at
least in one sense, very fertile), would science
and/or medicine again oblige?
Again, who gets to decide? And again, perhaps
it’s really none of our business, except
that the mother has made it our business by
requiring the services of 46 doctors and nurses
at the delivery and by placing her brood
squarely in the societal limelight for at least
the first two decades of their existence. And
history has taught us that undernurtured and
neglected children often end up on the fringes
of society or demanding that attention as
adults in dramatically antisocial ways.
But maybe this mother will get all the help
she needs. Maybe she already has it. Maybe
her strength and endurance and maternal
skills will continue to grow in keeping with
the size and complexity of her family.
Strangely enough, even as this brood might
seem to have been born of humanism and
medicine rather than celestial design, the
mom has — whether intentionally or unwittingly
— excelled far beyond the capacity of
many other parents to obey the heavenly commandment
to “be fruitful and multiply.”
We do wish her well. We pray for her. And
for us all. Now that we’ve overcome the question
of quantity, perhaps we can focus on
achieving quality in our family living.

VIEWPOINT
Talkin’ ‘bout my generation
I’m filing a formal complaint.
With whom, I’m not quite sure,
so I’ll just throwing it out
there. To whoever coined the
terms “Babyboomers” and
“Generation X” - or, too be a little
more hip, Gen X, as they call it.
You see, folks my age, the ones
who have bid adieu to their 30s, but
are still begging off the 50s, don’t fit
into either of those categories. It’s a
little disconcerting to be floating
out there with no real generation to
call your own.
We’re not the Greatest
Generation; that’s already been
taken. Gen X, of course, is gone - by
the way, it’s also the name of the
punk band with whom one Billy
Idol got his start. Babyboomers? My
parents and people of their generation
have that one cornered.
What, then, of us mid- to late-30-
somethings and 40-somethings
(unfortunately, I’m in the latter
group)?
What the hell is our generation?
We didn’t wage any military campaigns
on the scale of World War II,
although a good many of us have
been in the Gulf War, the Iraq War
and in Afghanistan. Since a whole
bunch of people don’t think we ever
should have gone into Iraq in the
first place, that leaves “Greatest”
out of the question -even if it hadn’t
already been spoken for.
There is no real single event that
BIRD’S
NEST
WALTER
BIRD JR.
shaped our lives. We didn’t have an
assassination (or two, or three, or
more) like the Babyboomers.
We didn’t have a Woodstock.
We did have Rodney King. And
OJ Simpson. And Michael Jackson.
And Reagan. And the first Bush.
Oh, and we had the ‘80s.
I, unlike a lot of folks out there,
happen to think the ‘80s were a pretty
darn fine time. Naysayers like to
point to Reagan and how we grew
more in debt and basically started
ourselves on a downward course,
but I beg to differ.
The ‘80s had one thing going for
them that can’t be taken away -
music.
That’s right, music.
You say you had Elvis and the
Beatles?
We had Michael Jackson and
Madonna.
You wanted a revolution?
We wanted our MTV.
And we got it.
The ‘80s have been ripped apart,
mocked, ridiculed, the subject of
countless satires. You name the
joke, the decade of the ‘80s has been
the punch line.
The decade of decadence, it has
been called.
And the music. The music has
been pretty much collectively
tossed in the trash heap of life. Hair
bands were the rage, even if talent
was in short supply. There was bubble
gum rock, arena rock, pop rock -
basically, all the kinds of music the
so-called music experts regard as
not worthy of being in the same
league of the blues, rockabilly and
all the other genres that helped generations
grow up and come of age.
I take offense at any dissing of
the ‘80s. I came of age in the 80s. A
lot of “firsts” happened for me in
the 80s. I got a good education in the
80s. I fell in love in the 80s. I got my
heart broken in the 80s. I formed
and solidified some great friendships
in the 80s. I had some great
times in the 80s. I had some really
bad times in the 80s. A certain wintertime
car accident in 1985 comes
immediately to mind.
The whole time, through
absolutely every event, there was a
song, a cassette tape (remember
those?), a band - there was a soundtrack
for all the things I went
through.
First crush? Michelle.
Soundtrack? Anything U2 did.
By the way, Michelle and I forged
a friendship starting in 1985 that
has lasted through today. We never
did have a romantic relationship,
but I got one of the best friends you
could ever ask for out of it. Not bad,
I’d say
First love? Pam. Soundtrack? The
Outfield’s “Play Deep.”
Car accident? Dad’s 85 Buick
Regal with about five or six friends
and relatives packed inside.
Soundtrack? Billy Idol’s “Rebel
Yell.” Oh, and I can’t forget the cassette
of Rush my older brother gave
me as I lay in the hospital.
College? Skidmore in Saratoga
Springs, N.Y. Soundtrack? Just
about every song that was big in
1986.
Next big crush? Heather Haley.
Soundtrack? Well, I listened to a lot
of alternative stuff at that time
Depeche Mode, OMD, stuff like
that. Actually, I listened to OMD a
lot in the early 90s, too.
And then there was 1989, when I
turned 21. That’s the year I discovered
Big Dawg.
Every one of us has a band, a
musical group that defines a time
in our life. I love U2, Social
Distortion, Johnny Cash and Billy
Idol. All of them have been important
in so many ways.
But Big Dawg was the first band I
ever saw when I turned 21. For the
next 10 or so years, I saw them pretty
much every Wednesday night at
Ralph’s in Worcester, without fail,
and whenever and wherever else
they happened to play.
Bruce, Bones, Mitch, Doug “Do
Me” Moore and J-Bar. They all
know who they are.
It started in 1989, this relationship.
OK, I was a groupie. Get over
it. But it really was a relationship.
Ask anyone who became part of the
Dawg Pound, they’ll tell you. It was
special.
That’s how the 80s ended. Me, all
grown up - or so I thought - with the
battle scars (in some cases literally)
to prove it.
They began with a wide-eyed 12-
year-old about to enter high school.
Make fun of that decade if you
must. But it was my decade. It’s
what defined me, first as a teenager,
then as a young man.
So we’re a generation without a
name. But we had a hell of a fun
decade. Ask someone who grew up
then. Ask them when they went to
their first concert. Or had their
first real date. Or where they had
their prom and when it was.
They’ll tell you ‘80-something.’
Maybe that’s what we should call
our generation. The 80-Somethings.
Whatever you call it, I’m proud of
it.

Equal pay a simple matter of fair play
With economic
troubles making
headlines, many
wondered what
President Barack Obama’s
first legislative move as
president would be. As it
turns out, it didn’t have to
do with bailout plans or the
economy in general. It had
to do with fair pay.
“Equal pay is by no means just a women’s
issue, it’s a family issue,” the Associated
Press reported Obama saying last week. “And
in this economy, when so many folks are
already working harder for less and struggling
to get by, the last thing they can afford
is losing part of each month’s paycheck to
simple and plain discrimination.”
According to the U.S. Census Bureau,
women still earn only 78 cents for every dollar
men earn. And the new bill Obama signed
last week — the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
— extended the time that women have to sue
for fair or equal wages.
Sometimes I think it’s easy to forget about
issues like equal pay when so many people
are struggling to get any pay at all, with mass
layoffs and job shortages across the country.
But in this economic climate, it is indeed
more important than ever to ensure that
workers are being fairly compensated. When
it’s tough to get a job, many are more willing
to accept any decent paycheck they can get,
regardless of what their peers with commensurate
experience in the same positions are
making.
But equal pay is actually a pretty simple
concept, even in times like these, when many
employers do not have the resources to give
away huge paychecks, even if they wanted to.
KRISTAL
KLEAR
KRISTINA
REARDON
It simply means paying people
who are in the same position
with similar educational and
job experience the same rate —
and that if businesses can’t
afford to pay women the same
wages they pay men for the
same job, that they should
reassess what they are paying
all their employees and not just
pay lower wages to females.
It seems like a very simple concept, after
all, but when women are, on average, still
only earning 78 cents for every dollar men
make, it suddenly becomes a lot less simple.
In fact, there are a variety of complex reasons
why this happens, many of which have
to do with flawed traditions, stereotypes, and
a variety of arguments from women themselves
which challenge women’s role in the
workplace.
For example, the group Concerned Women
for America writes on its Web site that
according to a study conducted by the group,
“women have the opportunity to earn as
much as men, but they often have different
goals and values.” The group also cited the
fact that due to the choice to start a family,
women also tend to have less consecutive
years of experience than their male counterparts.
The group also claims that many
women choose lower paying positions or
refuse promotions “voluntarily because they
have decided to keep their families the top
priority in their lives.”
If men and women were fairly compensated
for equal work in situations where their
credentials match up, however, then maybe
keeping families as a top priority would be
something that could economically fall on
both parents — not just fathers. Doesn’t it
benefit the whole family when, if both parents
choose to or need to work, the burden of
bringing home a paycheck can be split more
equally among both parents, depending on
their chosen profession and qualifications?
In addition to being unfair to women in the
workforce, this expectation is unfair to men
who might like to work, say, a 40-hour workweek
and not a 60 hour workweek so that he
could spend more time with the children he’s
working to support financially.
Keeping families as a top priority is both
parents’ jobs — and that doesn’t necessarily
mean that keeping family a top priority falls
financially to fathers and to mothers in the
form of working outside the home less (or for
less pay).
Others criticize Obama’s first legislative
act, saying that it will create too many lawsuits.
Still others claim that while employers
should pay men and women with commensurate
experience in the same positions equal
wages, that it isn’t the government’s job to
tell businesses what to do.
But cases like Lilly Ledbetter’s prove why
the bill Obama signed is so necessary, despite
the arguments against it.
Ledbetter was used by Obama much like
Joe the Plumber was used by John McCain
during the presidential campaign season,
and her story is well known: after working at
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. for 19 years, she
realized she had been paid significantly less
than her male counterparts. She sued the
company, and a lower court in Alabama
found Goodyear guilty of discrimination.
The decision was eventually brought to the
U.S. Supreme Court, however, where in a 5-4
decision, Ledbetter’s case was thrown out
because she had failed to file a claim about
the discrimination less than 180 days after
the discriminatory pay was set.
In her dissenting decision, Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg outlined why this was problematic:
oftentimes, pay discrimination is
concealed and therefore not something that
women may even realize is happening. She
wrote that in this type of situation, which is
quite common, that “disparity arises not
because the female employee is denied a
raise but because male counterparts are
given larger raises.”
So, the same women who are working just
as hard and doing just as good of a job as
their male counterparts might be promoted
in a nearly equal timeline — but not compensated
in the same way. Because many companies
do not advertise each of their employee’s
paychecks publicly, it can be difficult to figure
out why men and women who are promoted
nearly equally are still contributing to
the statistic that says that women make 78
cents for every dollar men make.
And while more lawsuits can certainly be
annoying, as critics of the Lilly Ledbetter
Fair Pay Act note, maybe the threat of that
annoyance will encourage employers to be
more vigilant and ensure they are equally
compensating male and female employees
with equal experience in the same positions
so that they don’t get sued. The Act extends
the 180 day period under which women can
sue from the day that pay is initially set to the
date of the last paycheck at that unequal pay
rate.
And as Obama noted, pay disparity is not
just a women’s issue. It also pertains to everyone
in a family, as well as to workers who face
pay discrimination based on race, religion,
having a disability, or age — all of which are
rightfully covered under the new bill as well.
With the stock market down, should you prepay mortgage?
Discouraged with their
investment returns, some
homeowners are diverting
their investment money
into their home mortgage.
But you should be aware
that this is not always as
good an idea as it might
first appear. Here are some
points for you to consider
before you decide whether
to prepay your home mortgage.
It’s easy to see why
diverting investment
money into your home
instead of stocks or bonds
might look attractive
these days. When you prepay your
remaining mortgage with a lump
sum or accelerate the payoff by
making extra monthly principal
payments, you reduce your longterm
interest costs. For example,
on a 30-year, 7.5 percent, $200,000
mortgage, paying an extra $200 a
month would save $112,625 in
interest charges. So paying off a
mortgage carrying 7 percent to 8
percent looks like a smart move
compared with investing in the
stock market — particularly with
the market’s recent negative
returns. It also looks smarter
compared with 10-year Treasury
bonds, which are currently yield-
YOUR
MONEY
MATTERS
ANNE O’BRIEN
ing a modest 3.75 percent,
or with the lower returns
of money market mutual
funds, savings accounts
and certificates of
deposit.
For conservative
investors who don’t
invest in stocks or even
bonds, prepaying your
mortgage might make
financial sense. You’ll
probably earn more than
low-risk investment alternatives
and you’ll reduce
your debt, which is usually
a good thing — especially
in tough times. And
paying off the mortgage early
provides peace of mind.
On the other hand, the financial
value of paying off a mortgage
early is not necessarily as strong
as it first appears. You need to
compare after-tax returns when
weighing your options.
Homeowners who itemize deductions
on their annual tax return
can take a mortgage-interest
deduction, which effectively
reduces the return gained by paying
off the mortgage early.
For example, let’s say you are in
the 25 percent federal income tax
bracket this year. That means that
the real cost of that 7.5 percent
mortgage, which is the same as
the return you would get prepaying
the mortgage, is 5.625 percent.
The calculation works like this:
7.5 percent x (1-25 percent).
Someone in the top 35 percent tax
bracket would actually be paying
only 4.875 percent on their mortgage.
And adding your state tax
rate to these calculations would
lower your effective mortgage
rate even more.
Compare this with the after-tax
return of an alternative investment.
A stock or mutual fund
returning 7.5 percent annually
provides an after-tax return of
6.375 percent, assuming a 15 percent
long-term capital gains tax.
In after-tax dollar terms, putting
$200 monthly toward investments
earning 7.5 percent annually
would earn $215,936 in 30 years,
versus the $112,625 you would
save in interest payments by prepaying
the mortgage.
Experts also point out that the
interest savings gained from prepaying
a mortgage are overstated
because of the time value of
money. Due to inflation, the interest
payments you make in the latter
years of your mortgage are
made with much cheaper dollars
than the ones made with the early
payments. So prepaying means
you are using dollars that are
more valuable.
Another argument for continuing
to invest instead of diverting
the money into the mortgage is
that stock and mutual fund share
values are a “bargain” these days
because prices are historically
very low. The assumption is that
the stock market, while returning
poorly now, will eventually recover
its losses and will return much
more in the long run. So it is a
good time to buy stocks and mutual
while they are cheap. Even taking
the recent market downturn
into consideration, the annualized
growth rate of the stock market
as measured by the S&P 500
from 1950 through 2008 was 7.86
percent — well above the return
you would have earned by paying
off a mortgage early.
It also makes less sense to
divert money from tax-favored
retirement accounts — especially
if your employer is providing
matching funds. And at the very
least, if you are too nervous right
now to invest in the stock market
or in bonds, you would probably
be better off putting excess
money into paying off high-interest
credit cards or other higherinterest
consumer loans, whose
interest you can’t deduct, instead
of prepaying your mortgage.
Prepaying a mortgage also
means that you are tying up
money that could remain in more
easily accessible or liquid
accounts, such as your emergency
fund. Remember, prepaying does
not lower your monthly mortgage
payments unless you pay off the
entire loan balance. If you were to
lose your job, for example, it
would be more difficult, if not
impossible, to borrow money on
the value of your home than to
simply take out cash from your
emergency fund or even sell some
of your investments, if necessary.
As you can see, prepaying a
mortgage may or may not be a
good move. Your personal financial
situation is just that — personal
and unique, so you need to
think through the issues carefully.
Speak with your accountant or
your financial advisor if you need
help.

Strong second half enough for Northbridge
IN BATTLE OF THE
RAMS, SHEPHERD
HILL BESTED
BY NICK ETHIER
SPORTS STAFF WRITER
NORTHBRIDGE — The first
half of the Shepherd Hill vs.
Northbridge game Saturday, Jan.
31 was as back-and-forth as you
can get. The Hill had a four-point
lead after one quarter (16-12) and
a one-point advantage at halftime
(29-28).
Minor adjustments from
Northbridge were the difference
in the second half, as they scored
45 points in the final 16 minutes
for a 73-60 victory.
Big man Casey Hippert got
more touches down low and
defender Tyrell Damon improved
his play on Shepherd Hill’s Ryan
Begreen.
“We had to play better D in the
second half,” Northbridge coach
Paul Baker said. “I thought
Begreen did what he wanted (in
the first half). I thought in the second
half Tyrell did a much better
job on him.
“I thought we did a better job
inside in the second half,” Baker
continued. “I think (Hippert) only
took a few shots in the first half,
and that’s not good for us. He
needs to get touches inside.”
Getting the ball inside opened
up the perimeter game, as sophomore
guard Cory Pryor hit three
3-pointers in the second half, and
scored a game-high 23 points.
“He’s a very good shooter,”
Baker said of Pryor. “He’s coming
off a lot of injuries. He’s getting
stronger.”
“Pryor just burned us,”
Shepherd Hill coach Duane
Corriveau said.
With Hippert touching the ball
more, and finishing with 19
points and 10 rebounds,
Northbridge won third quarter
scoring, 23-17, and fourth quarter
scoring, 22-14.
Northbridge’s other big man,
Zach Zidelis, added 17 points.
Begreen began the game on fire
for Shepherd Hill, scoring his
team’s first 10 points. Three more
in the second quarter gave him 13
at intermission, but he was limited
to nine points in the second
half to finish with 22.
Teammate Brian Westgate
chipped in with 21 points and
seven rebounds.
Another determining factor in
the outcome of the game was the
foul situation in the second half.
Northbridge was in the double
bonus for most of the fourth quarter,
as Shepherd Hill picked up
multiple fouls on reaches and
pushes. Northbridge was only
called for four fouls in the second
half.
“We got in all kinds of foul trouble,”
Corriveau said. “That’s part
of the basketball game. In order
to beat a good team, you need a little
help. We can’t be in foul trouble.”
“I think that maybe we ran out
of gas,” he added, citing that multiple
players were in the game battling
sickness.
Northbridge improved its
record to 13-2, and was on a 12-
game winning streak after starting
the season 1-2. Shepherd Hill
(9-6), meanwhile, stood one win
away from qualifying for the postseason
tournament.

Nichols extends streak to 16 by beating Curry
DUDLEY — The Nichols College women’s
basketball team extended its program
record winning streak to 16 games with a 55-
39 victory over visiting Curry College in a
The Commonwealth Coast Conference
matchup Saturday, Jan. 31.
Jessica Nelson (North Providence, R.I.)
led the way for the Bison with 11 points and
six rebounds, helping the team stay undefeated
in conference play with a 7-0 mark.
The first eight minutes of the game were
close, with Curry only trailing by four, until
Nichols went on a 26-8 run, capped off by a
layup from first-year forward Chelsea
Shaughnessy (Halifax, Mass.). That stretch
put the Bison ahead by 22, leading 38-16 at
the half.
Curry (6-13, 2-5 TCCC) fought back early in
the second half, opening the period with a
12-4 run of their own to cut the deficit to 14
with 13 minutes to play. That was as close as
Curry would get though, as Nichols
regrouped and held the Colonels to only 11
points for the rest of the game, winning it,
55-39.
Sophomore guard Ashley Robidoux
(Milford, Mass.),
added nine points for
the Bison Sophomore
Danyel Cousins

Pioneers kick off second half with Bartlett rout
BY NICK ETHIER
SPORTS STAFF WRITER
WEBSTER — The Southbridge boys’ basketball
team has already qualified for postseason
play, but they have shown no signs of
slowing down.
Instead, they have many goals to accomplish
heading into February. The Pioneers
want a high seed in the District and Clark
Tournaments, respectively, and there’s the
opportunity to take the Southern Worcester
County League West title.
Southbridge won another game Jan. 27
against SWCL West rival Bartlett, helping its
chances in seeding and league ranking. The
Pioneers never trailed, and rolled to an 82-50
victory of the Indians in front of a large,
boisterous crowd.
“Today we just said to ourselves, ‘We need
to send a message,’” senior point guard Jose
DeLeon said. “Every team is basically ready
for us.”
DeLeon posted a game-high 19 points, and
was a main contributor in the impressive
first quarter, which saw the Pioneers jump
out to a 9-2 lead just two minutes into play. It
was 21-12 Southbridge after the opening quarter.
Victor Martinez hit two 3-pointers in the
first, with DeLeon and Jose Vega each draining
one.
Mike Agbortoko did his job on the glass,
collecting five of his seven rebounds in the
first quarter.
The second quarter saw Southbridge gain
another nine points on the Indians, winning
quarter scoring, 19-10. Martinez hit his third
trey of the game, and had 15 points at intermission.
The third quarter was where the Pioneers
broke the game wide open, outscoring
Bartlett, 28-11. Three minutes into the frame
DeLeon dodged a defender and hit a lay-up.
Moments later, he stole the ball cleanly from
an Indian guard and hit another breakaway
lay-up. That four-point swing doubled up
Bartlett, 52-26.
After a time out, Vega drained another 3-
pointer to give Southbridge a 15-4 run to start
the quarter.
With the score now 61-31, and the Indians
threatening on the offensive side,
Southbridge’s Angel Colon swatted an
attempted post move, sending the
Southbridge faithful to their collective feet.
“We’re playing better,” Pioneers coach Bob
Fowler said of his 11-2 squad. “The good
thing is we’re using a lot of kids. We have to
continue this.”
Martinez finished with 18 points, while
Vega had 16 points and nine rebounds. Richie
Alcantara also contributed with eight points.
For Bartlett (4-10), Nick Kobel was their

leading scorer with 11 points. Jesse Bond had
nine, and Bob Mitchell scored eight.
Fowler was pleased with the roster, from
top to bottom.
“Our starting five (DeLeon, Martinez,
Vega, Hashian Rosario and Nathan Power)
played well,” he said. “After that, no matter
who we put in they did the job. We rebounded
well (43-37 Southbridge), we didn’t have many
turnovers (only three Bartlett team steals),
we had a ton of steals (12), we shot very well
from the floor. This may be our best shooting
night.”
Fowler cited a few key role players who
may not be in the starting lineup, but contribute
with big minutes each game.
“Agbortoko was hurt all season last year,”
he said. “This is really his first full season.
He’s playing really well. Richie Alcantara did
not get much playing time last year. He’s getting
a tremendous amount of playing time.
He’s stepping up big. Vontilen Rosario, he’s
playing well. Colon’s playing very well. We’re
getting good backup people.”
And DeLeon and Fowler know that this
team can keep winning.
“Positioning for Clark, Districts (and) trying
to win the SWCL title … be a high seed for
everything,” DeLeon said.
“We have to go in, play our style, force the
tempo of the game,” Fowler added. “We’re
chasing that SWCL title.”

ADNA commemorates 90 years of service
BY TERESA A. FRANCO
STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER
AUBURN –– The crowd of guests, tables of
food and soft piano background music in the hall
of Pakachoag Church, Friday, Jan. 30, represented
the 90th Anniversary of the Auburn District
Nursing Association (ADNA) — and the remembrance
of one of the group’s most faithful members.
Last week’s celebration began with socializing
and dinner followed by a round of presentations
of awards and speakers who spoke graciously of
the organization with ADNA Board Member Ron
Valerio as the master of ceremonies.
Many prominent figures within the Auburn
community were present at the celebration,
including State Rep. Paul Frost, Board of
Selectmen Chairman Robert Grossman and
Town Moderator Charles Baker.
Frost awarded ADNA, which covers Oxford,
with a citation on behalf of the House of
Representatives. He thanked the staff and volunteers
for their hard work.
“It’s important to have these groups providing
healthcare,” he said.
State Sen. Michael Moore could not make the
event due to a previous engagement, but one of
his local staff members, Doreen Goodrich, presented
a citation on his behalf. ADNA also
received a third citation from the office of
Worcester County Sheriff Guy Glodis.
ADNA Executive Director Linda Vacon gave a
brief history of the association and its plans for
the future. She said ADNA is constantly keeping
up-to-date with its equipment to provide the best
care possible.
“The goal is to enhance service and that’s what
we strive to do,” she said.
She told the audience that the plan for 2009 is
to “extend care and effort of the organization but
move with the times.”
Former ADNA Executive Director Deanna
Goggins passed away this past October, after a
long illness and was on many people’s minds at
the party. She devoted more than 20 years of her
life as ADNA’s director.
Goggins’ husband, Gerry, and three of her four
children, John, Jennifer and Kate, were at the
anniversary.
Gerry described his wife as a “remarkable person”
with a great sense of humor who loved
being a part of ADNA, adding that she had done
so much good throughout her life.
“People still come up to me and tell me things
she did,” he said.
Gerry mentioned that their son, Bill, who
could not make it to the event, credits Deanna for
motivating him to get into the medical field. He
is now a transplant surgeon in Indiana.
Deanna’s children fondly recalled their mother’s
dedication to the organization.
“She was the heart and soul of ADNA for
many years,” John said.
Chairmen of the Board of Directors David
Bellerose, spoke kindly of Goggins’ services during
his speech.
“We are all well aware of her dedication and
countless years of service,” Bellerose said.
He announced the board would give a $2,500
donation to the organization in her memory.
“I thought to myself on the way over how it
would be wonderful if Deanna could be here
tonight,” Gerry told the crowd. “I have a sense
that her spirit is here tonight, and is very pleased
and very satisfied.”
ADNA Resource Director Maureen Stake said
the celebration was “beyond their expectations.”
She said 127 people attended and the ADNA
members were only expecting 75.
ADNA has been tirelessly serving Auburn and
the surrounding communities of Worcester,
Oxford, Sutton, Millbury, Charlton, Leicester,
Paxton, Holden, West Boylston, Shrewsbury and
Grafton. The organization strives to provide
quality home healthcare. According to its Web
site, ADNA provides 19,000 home visits annually
to more than 700 clients.

Regional statistics show joblessness continues to rise
BY ANDY LEVIN
STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER
The latest data from the
Executive Office of Labor and
Workforce Development reveals
many communities in south-central
Massachusetts are faring better
than the state average, but also that
rising unemployment rates are
inescapable no matter where one
lives.
The Executive Office of Labor
and Workforce Development
(EOLWD) reported joblessness in
Massachusetts increased from 5.9
percent in November to 6.9 percent
in December. In December 2007, the
state’s unemployment rate was 4.3
percent.
Job losses in Massachusetts this
past December totaled approximately
16,800, according to the
EOLWD.
The national unemployment rate
jumped from 6.8 percent in
November to 7.2 percent in
December, up from 4.9 percent a
year earlier.
“Here in Massachusetts we did a
pretty good job of weathering the
first sixth months or so of the
national recession, EOLWD
Director of Policy and Planning
Robb Smith said. “Part of this was
due to our educated workforce and
our diverse economy. The problem
now is that every sector is being hit
[with job losses]. We saw manufacturing
have layoffs first, then the
financial services. Now it is the professional
industries — lawyers,
architects.”
Close to home, jobless rates fluctuate
from town to town, but all
have one critical aspect in common
— they are headed upward.
• Auburn had the lowest rate of
joblessness in the region, at 5.4 percent
well under the state average,
though still up from 4.6 percent in
November and from 3.9 percent in
December 2007. Based on EOLWD
samples, approximately 471residents
there filed unemployment
claims in December.
• Douglas’ unemployment rate
was 5.9 percent in December. In
November the rate stood at 5.4 percent
and in December 2007 it was 4.6
percent. Approximately 264
Douglas residents filed unemployment
claims in December.
• Leicester had an even 6 percent
jobless rate, up from 5.1 percent in
November and from 4.6 percent in
December 2007. Approximately 357
residents filed for unemployment
benefits.
• Sturbridge had a 6.2 percent
unemployment rate. In November
that number held at 5 percent. The
December 2007 rate was 3.9 percent.
Approximately 306 Sturbridge residents
were out of work this past
December.
• East Brookfield’s December
unemployment rate was 6.3 percent,
up from 6.1 percent in
November and from 3.7 percent in
December 2007. Approximately 72
East Brookfield residents filed
unemployment claims in
December.
• Oxford’s jobless rate for
December was 6.4 percent. It stood
at 5.6 percent in November and at
4.4 percent in December 2007. In
December, approximately 487
Oxford residents were without a
job.
• North Brookfield had a
December unemployment rate of
6.5 percent, a full point higher than
November’s 5.5 percent. The town’s
December 2007 jobless rate was 4.3
percent. Residents of North
Brookfield filing claims in
December totaled approximately
161.
• Charlton’s jobless rate was 6.6
percent in December, up from 5.8
percent in November. The figure
stood at 4.3 percent in December
2007. Approximately 447 residents
were out of work this past
December.
• Dudley is among a group of
towns with an unemployment rate
higher than the state average. Its
jobless rate jumped to 7.3 percent in
December, up from 6.3 percent in
November and from 4.4 percent in
December 2007. Residents filing for
unemployment benefits in
December totaled approximately
431.
• Uxbridge had a 7.4 percent
unemployment rate in December,
up from 5.9 percent in November.
The town’s jobless rate in
December 2007 was 4.7 percent. In
December, approximately 512
Uxbridge residents were out of
work.
• Brookfield’s December jobless
rate held at 7.5 percent, up from 5.9
percent a month earlier and a full
two percentage points higher than
in December 2007. Approximately
126 residents filed unemployment
claims in December.
• West Brookfield’s rate stood at
7.5 percent in December, 5.7 percent
in November and 5 percent in
December 2007. Approximately 141
residents were jobless in December.
• Spencer’s December rate was 7.5
percent, up from 6.1 percent in
November and 4.7 percent in
December 2007. Approximately 500
residents were jobless in December.
• Northbridge had a 7.8 percent
December jobless rate, up from 6.6
percent in November and 4.8 percent
in December 2007.
Approximately 579 residents filed
unemployment claims in
December.
• Webster’s December unemployment
rate was 8.4 percent, up from
7.2 percent in November. The rate
in December 2007 was 5 percent. In
December, approximately 700 residents
were out of work.
• Southbridge had the highest jobless
rate in December, 11.5 percent,
up from 8.2 percent in November
and 5.9 percent in December 2007.
According to EOLWD sampling,
approximately 960 Southbridge residents
filed unemployment claims
in December.
The EOLWD doesn’t project
employment trends, Smith
explained, but those that do are not
optimistic about a near-term turnaround
in the economy.
“There doesn’t seem to be a light
at the end of the tunnel yet,” he
said. “And the people who do make
the projections are saying it may
not be until the end of this year, or
even 2010.”
Family to host fundraiser for recovering Melendez
MELENDEZ
continued from page A1
change that, during a benefit dinner for
Jesse Melendez at Point Breeze Restaurant
in Webster.
All proceeds raised from the event will go
directly toward paying off Jesse’s medical
bills, rehabilitation expenses and the home
renovations necessary to get this soldier out
of long-term care.
“Ultimately, our goal is to bring him
home,” stressed Chris Melendez, Jesse’s
older brother. “But insurance only pays for
so much.”
Since the accident in early August, Jesse’s
mother has been with her son every day.
She stood by his side as Jesse’s life hung in
the balance in UMass Memorial Medical
Center’s Intensive Care Unit and has been
with the young man in rehabilitation facilities
both in Salem and at the Braintree
Rehabilitation Hospital, where Jesse is currently
undergoing therapy.
Family members described the young
man as minimally responsive saying he was
suffering from periodic seizures, but said
they are confident the determination and
zeal for life Jesse showed prior to his accident
will help him get better.
“It’s been difficult … we just don’t know
anything and nobody can tell us … we all
just pray and hope for the best,” Reich said.
“But Jesse’s young and
often times the functions
of damaged parts of the
brain will get taken over
by other spots.”
“Jesse has a lot of determination
and drive,”
Chris added. “He really
strived for success.”
Following his graduation
from high school,
Jesse traveled up to New
Hampshire, where he
attended the ATS Heavy
Equipment Operating
School.
After completing studies
there he returned
home to take a job as a correctional
officer at the
Worcester House of
Corrections.
In November of 2007,
however, Jesse decided to
channel all his drive and
determination into a larger
cause, volunteering to
enlist in the United States
Navy.
Just after Christmas, the
young man was shipped off to Chicago for
basic training and after graduating basic,
Jesse signed on with the internationally
known Seabees Construction Battalion —
The Melendez family will throw a
fundraiser for Jesse Melendez Saturday,

in a serious motorcycle accident that
left him with a severe brain injury.
which since World War II
has worked tirelessly to set
up forward operating
bases and airstrips in wartorn
areas around the
world.
Following the accident,
both Reich and Chris said
they felt powerless, but
soon became inspired to
help Jesse by coordinating
the benefit alongside several
of Jesse’s friends.
“This is one of the most
gratifying things I have
ever done,” Reich said.
“The people have just been
crawling out of the woodwork
[to help] … you start
seeing the generosity and
caring of the people and
it’s restorative, it’s good
for the soul.”
In addition to food provided
by Point Breeze, the
Feb. 21 dinner will feature
live entertainment from
local band “She’s Busy,” a
local magician and several
other notable local music
acts.
Several raffle items will also be given
away, including Boston Celtics tickets and
autographed sports memorabilia.
Chris, who said he always played the role
of “big brother” to his younger sibling,
added that in recent months the two were
starting to connect as something more than
just brothers — they were becoming friends.
“After the high school age goes away you
start to become more close and that’s kind of
where we were at,” Chris reflected, saying
he hopes the benefit helps give his family
the means to bring his brother home. “We
were starting to get a lot closer … we were
just starting to get to know each other as
friends.”
The benefit for Jesse is scheduled for
Saturday, Feb. 21, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.
at Point Breeze Restaurant in Webster.
Admission is $10 minimum and further
donations are gladly accepted and
encouraged.
A trust fund for Jesse has been established
at Webster Five Cents Savings Bank. To
donate, make checks payable to “The Jesse
Melendez Benefit Fund,” 208 W. Main St.
Dudley, MA 01571. For more information,
contact Reich at 508-943-6448.

21 event may also be made or purchased

Equestrian farm is a real Blessing in disguise
BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL
STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER
CHARLTON — A 23-acre
swath of picturesque land
tucked into a valley near the
Charlton-Southbridge border
looks like a normal farm from
the outside.
But normal it is not.
Blessings Farm, located at 50
H. Foote Road, is an equestrian
farm where neglected, underprivileged
or low-income children
come to learn to ride and
care for a horse.
“We will take in any kid …
who can’t afford to go to a stable.
We’re not about the
money,” said the farm’s owner,
Jack Scott. “We’re about kids.”
Saying the typical cost of taking
lessons can be $45-85 per
week, which he called “cost
prohibitive,” Scott decided to
purchase the land five years
ago and turn it into a refuge for
his clients. He does not charge
a set fee, but asks for donations
to help run the farm.
“It gives kids something special,”
Scott said. “I’m a
Christian. It is something God
put in my heart. I just want to
fulfill a dream.”
Anybody that visits Scott’s
farm undergoes a 10-week
course, taking lessons in
groups of six. The farm also
offers a one-week summer
camp.
When they complete the regular
program, Scott said, the
children are promoted to a
higher level class, depending
on whether they are ready for
it. The results are evident in
the written words of some of
the students themselves.
Letters hang in the farm’s tack
room.
“My beautiful spirit lifter
[horse] is all I ever dreamed of.
When we are together, we run
with the wind,” 12-year-old
Jane Ashley Carr wrote in a
poem.
Photos and other written
memories of happy children
hang throughout the site.
“They are all over the place,”
Scott said.
The journey to get to that
emotional point starts the
moment a rider mounts the
horse, as Shepherd Hill
Regional High School senior
Jocelyn Cormier knows.
Cormier, a Webster resident,
started volunteering as an
assistant instructor late last
year after becoming fed up with
the high price of continuing
her love for riding. It didn’t
take long, she said, to form that
special rider-horse relationship
with one of the equines, TJ.
“If you know what you are
doing, [TJ] she will be perfect
for you,” she said.
Witnessing that kind of relationship
blossom, Scott said, is
something special.
“They form a bond,” he said.
“The it is like magic in front of
your eyes. It teaches them love.
It teaches them responsibility.”
The farm, Cormier said,
leaves her and other riders
with a more memorable experience
than she usually receives.
“It is definitely more personable,”
she said. “It is really easy
going.”
While it is little known, the
farm has at least a few backers,
including Shepherd Hill
Guidance Counselor Jim
LaLiberte, who volunteers at
the farm and referred Cormier
to it. LaLiberte said the farm’s
religious undertones drew him
to work there as well as the
chance to work on a farm.
“I’d like to see his program
really take off,” he said. “I

think it is a good thing.”
Besides Scott, a dedicated
group of people is responsible
for the farm’s daily existence.
While it is difficult to attract
good instructors, Scott said
there is typically one assigned
to each student on any given
day, and he wants to find more.
Others, Scott said, have given
money or horses to the farm,
but he never worries about the
site’s financial health.
“Trust God, he hasn’t failed
us yet,” he said.
The farm’s future looks
bright. Scott said once he finds
more instructors he would be
able to accommodate more students.
He said he is exploring
the possibility of forming a
board of directors that would
establish a dedicated source of
funding for the farm. He also
wants the farm to open the
farm to home-schooled students.
“[You] never know what is
going to happen here,” he said.
“The farm is growing all the
time.”

Kujawski ‘completely disgusted’ by DeLeo appointment
KUJAWSKI
continued from page A1
ward with his leadership before [the
appointment]. He made all of us believe
that under his leadership we could move
forward.”
Kujawski said he eventually moved to
support DeLeo following Rogers’ call for
unity among House members.
“[DeLeo] wasn’t my first choice, but he’s
the speaker and I offer my complete support
for him,” Kujawski said. “If we are
going to sit and stew, nothing good is going
to come of this. These times are unprecedented
and we are going to need as much
cooperation as possible from all 160 members
of the House.”
Callahan, a staunch advocate of ethics
reform legislation, went even further than
Kujawski in opposing the process. The
maverick Democrat voted “present” during
the roll call for DiMasi’s reappointment
last month, then again during the
POLICE REPORT
formal vote last week that made DeLeo
speaker. She was the only Democrat to levy
such a protest.
“The new speaker is the exiting speaker’s
hand-picked successor,” Callahan
said. “When DiMasi announced his retirement,
Mr. DeLeo was ready with a press
release announcing that he had locked it
up and had enough votes to be elected the
new speaker.”
The whole affair, according to Callahan,
exemplified why the public has lost faith
in many of its elected leaders.
“There was no discussion or debate,”
she said. “There was no chance for new
candidates to come forward. There was no
public input or scrutiny.”
Callahan echoed Kujawski, saying the
decision was “made in a back room and
rushed through almost before anyone
could object. Members have whiplash. We
just took a vote for speaker and here we
are taking another vote [a few] weeks
l a t e r . ”
Callahan claimed the appointment of
DeLeo kept an unacceptable status quo in
place.
“It is business as usual,” she said. “The
only difference is the name on the speaker’s
door has changed… In this speaker’s
fight, the real losers [were] the people of
Massachusetts.”
Her disappointment notwithstanding,
Callahan is still optimistic about
prospects for change in Boston.
“I remain hopeful that the new House
leadership will stand behind promises for
swift and meaningful ethics reform,” she
• THE WEBSTER TIMES • 17
said. “I will continue to work with leadership
to accomplish such necessary reform.
The Legislature missed a great opportunity
throughout this process to demonstrate
to the public that we are serious about
changing the way business is conducted
on Beacon Hill and letting the sunlight
into the building.”
DiMasi, a Boston Democrat, was the
third consecutive House speaker to step
down amid allegations of impropriety.
Charles Flaherty resigned in 1996 after
federal authorities charged him with
income tax violations. Thomas Finneran
was also the subject of a federal probe
when he left office in 2004. Finneran subsequently
pleaded guilty to obstruction of
justice for lying under oath in a civil
action involving redistricting.

Germain, Battista turn down re-election bids
ELECTIONS
continued from page A1
time,” Sullivan said. “I take [the
office] very seriously … I haven’t
taken the papers out yet, but I’m
not closing the door on this.”
Prior to winning his seat on the
Board of Selectmen, Sullivan
served a four-year stint on the
town’s Planning Board.
While two seats are up for selectmen,
only one position is opening
on the Dudley-Charlton Regional
School Committee — that of twoterm
incumbent Anthony
Battista.
Battista announced last month
he will not seek re-election.
“It’s been a great six years, but I
think we have other people out
there who could do a good job and
they should have a chance,”
Battista said.
All terms on the School
Committee are a three-year commitment.
Other positions up for re-election
include assessor (incumbent
Jo-ann Szymczak), sewer commissioner
(incumbent Constance
Nedoroscik) and water commissioner
(incumbent Jonathan
Androlewicz).
One spot apiece will also be open
for election on the Board of Health
and the Cemetery Commission.
Both seats are three-year terms
and are currently unfilled.
Nomination papers are now
available at the office of the Town
Clerk.
Once taken out, potential candidates
must gather 50 certified signatures
and submit all nomination
paperwork by Monday, March
16, at 5 p.m.
These papers will then be certified
by the Board of Registrars
and filed with the town clerk no
later than Monday, March 30.
The last day for candidates to
object or withdraw is Wednesday,
April 1.
The last day for voters to register
is Tuesday, April 14.
The Annual Town Election will
be held Monday, May 4.
OXFORD
On Oxford’s School Committee,
two seats will be up for re-election
in 2009. Both incumbents Marc
Peterson and Laura Coonan say
they intend to seek re-election.
Peterson has served as a committee
member for 18 years and
cited his experience with the
Department of Revenue as one of
the factors he thinks will help
steer the district through the difficult
financial times ahead.
“There’s a lot of holding on
here,” he said.
Peterson is also a member of the
Superintendent
Search
Committee, which will be tasked
with replacing departing
Superintendent Ernest Boss in the
coming months.
Coonan, who is just finishing
out her first full term on the
School Committee, also said she
plans to run again in the spring.
Coonan said she currently has
two children in the district — both
students at the high school.
Turning an eye to the Board of
Selectmen, one position — that of
Selectman Daniel Coonan — will
be up for re-election.
Coonan did not respond to multiple
calls inquiring as to whether
or not he intends to run again in
2009.
Additional positions include
Library Trustee (incumbent John
Bowes), Southern Worcester
County Regional Vocational
School District Committee
(incumbent Randall Slauenwhite),
Housing Authority (incumbent
Ernest White Jr.) and trustee of
the Charles Larned
Entertainment Fund (incumbent
Annamaria Bellows).
Nomination papers will be available
for withdrawal Wednesday,
Feb. 11.
The last day for potential candidates
to obtain nomination papers
is March 27 at 5 p.m. and they must
be submitted to the Registrars of
Voters for certification of signatures
by March 31 at 5 p.m.
All certificates of nomination or
nomination papers must be filed
with the town clerk by April 14 at 5
p.m.
Withdrawals must be filed by
April 16 at 5 p.m.
The last day to register to vote
for the May election and Annual
Town Meeting is April 16 from 9
a.m. to 8 p.m.
The Annual Town Meeting is
scheduled for May 6 at 7 p.m. at
Oxford High School.
The Annual Town Election is
scheduled for Tuesday, May 19.
WEBSTER
Over in Webster, several spots
will be up for re-election, including
two seats on the School
Committee and one on the Board
of Selectmen.
School Committee Chairman
Michael Makara said he currently
plans to run for re-election, but
said this early in the season he is
focused more on the FY10 budget
crunch than the spring election.
“I probably will [run], but a lot
can happen between now and
May,” Makara said.
Other seats open for re-election
include David Gustafson — Vice
Chairman of the School
Committee.
Gustafson did not return calls
inquiring as to whether or not he
intends to seek re-election.
Irene Martel’s seat will also pop
up on this spring’s ballot.
Martel could not be reached for
comment, so no word yet as to
whether or not this candid board
member intends to seek another
three-year term.
Additional seats up for re-election
include an open spot on the
Finance Committee and one seat
on the Board of Health.
According to the town clerk’s
office — the deadline for voter registration
is Tuesday, April 14.
Potential candidates must
obtain 50 signatures and submit
all nomination paperwork to the
registrars for certification by
Monday, March 16. Papers are currently
available for pickup at
Town Hall.
Papers will only be available
until Saturday, March 14.
The last day to file nomination
papers with the town clerk is
March 30.
Independent nomination papers
are due April 1.
Nomination papers can only be
furnished to a candidate or a person
appointed by him in writing.
The Annual Town Meeting is
scheduled for Monday, May 11, at 7
p.m.
The Annual Town Election is
scheduled for Monday, May 4.

Area towns feeling sting of Patrick’s budget cuts
CUTS
COntinued from page A1
reached for comment last week about
their respective municipal budgets.
West Brookfield Advisory Committee
Chairman Albert Collings said he did
not anticipate having to lay employees
off as the town deals with the
result $230,000 budget deficit.
Department heads, he said, have been
instructed to use 95 percent of their
approved budget, leaving the remaining
five to help cover next year’s
budget.
“We are OK as long as [Patrick]
does not do any more [cuts],” he said.
Patrick also unveiled his $28 billion
2010 budget, which reduces many of
the local aid figures. He also proposed
new revenue resources, including
taxes and fees on several items.
“Without those revenues, we are
destroyed,” said Spencer Town
Administrator Paul
Guida.
Patrick’s proposed 2010
budget would cut local aid
once more, again leaving
some towns with large
deficits to cover. Under
that budget, Charlton
would lose $187,557.
Southbridge would
again feel the sting, with
a cut of $744,729.
For the next fiscal year,
Collings said his town is
asking for a two percent,
instead of the usual three,
increase in the cost of living
raise for its workers.
They are also project a
level-funded budget, he
Patrick
said, but noted they
$125,000 short of that goal
currently.
“With that kind of a gap, I think we
are in pretty good shape,” he said.
To offset the local aid
reductions, Patrick
proposed raising the
meals and hotels tax by
one cent. Those revenues
would go back to
communities. The new
budget also calls for $74
million in new motor
vehicle registration
fees, as well as taxes on
sugar-based drinks,
alcohol and candy. If
imposed, it would raise
$121 million for the
state wellness fund,
which pays for public
health programs.
Expressing a sentiment
most towns might
share, Collings said he
hopes Patrick won’t be
forced to make more
local aid cuts for 2010.
Ryan Grannan-Doll can be
reached by phone at (508) 909-
4050, or by e-mail at
rgrand@stonebridgepress.com.
Under Gov. Patrick’s proposal to deal with what
he has termed a “fiscal emergency,” he has
announced cuts in 2009, and has indicated more
could come in 2010. The figures for some of our
area towns are listed below

Keefe: ‘We’re losing our history’
CRANSTON
continued from page A1
At its peak in the 1980s, Cranston employed
roughly 770 workers at multiple facilities
throughout the northeast.
A staple in Webster’s history, Cranston’s roots
date back to well before the American Civil War.
The plant was originally built in 1812 and was
sold to Cranston by the family of Samuel Slater in
1920.
“This was [Webster’s] last true corporation
from the olden days,” Board of Selectmen Vice
Chairman Deborah Keefe reflected earlier this
week. “That’s the sad thing, we’re losing our history
— another part of it is going overseas.”
State Rep. Paul Kujawski said he was notified of
the cutbacks at Cranston early last week and said
he will be working with state officials to explore
possible ways to help out employees laid off at the
.50 %
APY 2on savings
Cash rewards
on debit card purchases
facility.
No state “bailouts” will be possible, however,
Sylvia stressed.
“[Cranston] is a trademark of the community,”
Kujawski said. “These were good people who
earned a living the old fashioned way — by earning
it.”
Sylvia agreed, saying the decision was “emotional”
especially considering “most employees
are veterans of the company, with many over 30
years of service.”
Selectman Mark Dowgiewicz echoed the sentiments
of both Kujawski and Sylvia saying the
recent cutbacks in Webster are part of an unfortunate,
but growing trend aimed at taking former
bread-and-butter American industries and moving
them to developing countries in an effort to
cash in on cheaper overhead costs.
“You just don’t see any of these types of businesses
starting up in this country anymore,” he
said, citing the closing of Webster’s Anglo
Fabrics roughly a decade ago as yet another
example of the growing downturn in the local
cloth industry.
Cranston’s building will remain on the property
tax rolls, but Dowgiewicz said the recent
employee cutbacks at the plant may reduce the
pay-in made by the facility to Webster’s sewer system
— a fact that could potentially cost the town
revenue.
Cranston’s sewer pay-ins were already relatively
low for the 450,000-square-foot facility’s size,
however, since the company reduced their own
flow into municipal pipes roughly a decade ago
when they built their own in-house treatment
plant, Dowgiewicz said.
Throughout its time in Webster, Cranston has
not only been a fixture of the community, it has
become actively involved in several community
organizations around town.
From the Webster-Dudley-Oxford Chamber of
Commerce to the local United Way, Sylvia said
Cranston would strive to continue its traditions of
public service to the community of Webster,
despite the painful drawbacks the current economic
climate is imposing.
“We will still be part of the fabric of the community,”
he said.
“[Cranston’s] reputation was built through the
dedication and commitment of all the many
employees who worked here over the years and
gave their best every day … I have never been
associated with a finer group of people.”

CHARLTON
Free “Fireproof ” movie event in February
at Charlton Baptist — Couples today need
encouragement in their relationships to not
only survive, but thrive. Charlton Baptist
Church is bringing that message to the community
with free showings of the recently
released movie “Fireproof ” in February.
“Never Leave Your Partner Behind,” is the
theme in the movie “Fireproof.” The film’s
character, Captain Caleb Holt, has a great
career as a firefighter but a troubled marriage.
When he comes to grips with his
actions and realizes Christ’s love, he begins to
understand how to really love his wife.
“This is a powerful movie with a vital message
about marriages and relationships in
general,” said Stephan Coddington, Charlton
Baptist Youth and Families Pastor. “Any relationship
takes work. It is about commitment
and a desire to put the other person first, loving
them unconditionally. That message is
lost in our culture today and many relationships
struggle or even fail because of it. Our
hope is that this movie encourages individuals
to never leave their partner behind, and
seek God’s desire for fruitful, thriving marriages.”
Charlton Baptist has bought rights to show
this film to the community and has scheduled
free showings from 6 to 8 p.m., Saturdays, Feb.
7 and 28, at the church, 50 Hammond Hill Rd.,
Charlton. This event will also include free

THOMPSON, CONN.
The Bible Fellowship Church will host a free
screening of the recent box-office hit
movie “Fireproof,” starring “Growing
Pains” actor Kirk Cameron Friday, Feb. 13.
“Fireproof ” is an action-packed love story
that will have audiences laughing, crying, and
on the edge of their seats as they are drawn
into the world of a firefighter, his wife — and
a marriage worth rescuing.
Over the span of just a few weeks, when it
opened in September 2008, “Fireproof ”
ranked in the top 10 at the box office, despite
appearing in less than 1,000 theaters nationwide.
And “The Love Dare,” a book written
based on the movie’s plot, was the #1 bestseller
on the New York Times paperback
advice list.
The story in “Fireproof ” follows Capt. Caleb
Holt, who lives by the firefighter’s motto:
“Never leave your partner behind!” But at
home, he lives by his own rules, as his sevenyear
marriage to his wife Catherine is hitting
the rocks, with regular arguments over jobs,
finances, and outside interests. As they head
to divorce proceedings, Caleb’s father challenges
him to rescue his wife’s heart.
With over 50 percent of marriages in the U.S.
ending in divorce, and with fewer couples
even considering marriage in the first place,
this film speaks to needs of many couples and
families today, offering hope and the chance
for reconciliation. “Fireproof ” is the third
movie from Sherwood Pictures, the hopefilled,
heartfelt moviemaking ministry of
Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Ga. More
than 1,000 volunteers worked in the production
and filming of the movie.
The Bible Fellowship Church invites everyone
to witness this realistic, hope-filled love
story on the eve of Valentine’s Day. The
church is located on Route 131, or 400
Quinebaug Rd., between Quinebaug and
North Grosvenordale. The film is free, and
will start at 6:30 p.m. on that Friday evening.
Childcare for children under 6 will be available,
but the church asks that you call the
church beforehand, to register for this childcare,
at 800-621-6807.

What lines are
you buying?
It is strange the lines we swallow sometimes.
Or, maybe I should say, it is amazing
the lines today’s social engineers try
to get us to swallow.
I’ve noticed that we are most likely to fall for
the concepts that are cleverly inserted into
movies, books and newscasts.
For some reason
ideas presented in some
formal media format, or
by some well-known personality,
are automatically
given more credibility.
With our knowledge of the
great propaganda schemes
of world history, you
BEYOND would think we would be a
bit more discriminating,
THE PEWS
but, I guess human nature
doesn’t change much —
JOHN the same old tricks keep
catching us by surprise.
HANSON
Permit me to share one
example of how a very easily
proven lie can be carefully
inserted into a movie
script only to have many people unthinkingly
accept it as truth. In 1998, a very politicallybiased
movie was released. The movie was emotionally
powerful and well-made. The directing
and acting was good enough that the film won
the ASCAP Award and was nominated for six
other awards including an Academy Award. At
one point in the movie, the main character, a
well-known actor who has won an Oscar as well
as 43 other awards, made this statement: “In all
God’s creation, only human beings kill their
own species.”
Obviously the writer of that movie skipped
their eighth-grade life science classes. Few
statements can be more easily disproven.
Anyone who has ever raised hamsters knows to
remove the male from a cage with newborns,
because, if he can get past the mother, he will
often eat his own children. Books like “Call of
the Wild” have accurately demonstrated why
the phrase “dog eat dog” exists. Many of us
have seen cats kill cats. We don’t even have to
leave home to see that such a statement is foolish.
Furthermore, just a few minutes of research
will reveal that animal life is often just as violent
if not more violent than mankind. Some
animals, such as chimpanzees and ring-tailed
lemurs engage in the systematic extermination
of another group of the same species. Leopards
and killer whales have been observed hunting
for amusement and then abandoning their prey.
Herons, boobies, egrets, many eagles and falcons,
hammerhead sharks and hyenas sometimes
kill their own siblings. Many species,
including rabbits, kill their own species in
order to protect or enlarge their territory.
The truth is, someone connected with that
movie was attempting to exalt animal life and
diminish the dignity of human life, so they
made up a “new truth.” They told a bold face lie,
but they did it so blatantly that some people
bought it. A quick online search of that statement
will reveal that many people have picked
up on that thought and repeated it as if it were
true. The moral of the story: Don’t believe
everything you hear in movies!
Now, it is true that humans are the only
species that set up clinics to perform abortions.
You will want to research that statement just to
be sure, since you’re reading this in a formal
media format. But, even if that statement is scientifically
provable, I’m pretty sure you’ll never
hear it repeated in a mainstream movie,
because it doesn’t fit with the “new truths” that
are being peddled nowadays.
A word to the wise: entire groups of people
often buy into lies, because the lie fits their preferred
view. Be careful as to what sources you
trust. The more bad information I am exposed
to, the more I appreciate time-proven, rocksolid,
life-changing books like the Bible. Now,
that is a Book full of lines that you can buy into
— lines upon which you can bet your life!

The concept is simple: perform popular
rock hits that the listeners can
relate to, leaving them with a memorable
good time.
Together the four musicians of Pucker
have one goal: to create a great time playing
what the people want to hear. Bathing the
listener with harmonies, hooks, and raw
energy, Pucker has more than 70 years of
collective experience throughout New
England. Their dynamic approach and commitment
to a great live show has rewarded
them with an impressive following of avid
fans. The band constantly strives to maintain
that perfect balance of chemistry needed
to form a truly entertaining rock band.
Don’t miss the fun and mayhem this
Saturday at The Pump House in
Southbridge. Visit myspace.com/puckerrokz
for more about the band.
Also happening in Southbridge on
Saturday, The Mayocks play The Cannery
Music Hall at 12 Crane Street.
Hailing from Granby, Conn. the group has
been around nearly a decade and has produced
three critically acclaimed albums.
This “band of brothers” sure knows how to
craft a tune; siblings John Mayock and
brother Tim have a bond that is the core of
their music. John the
(singer/songwriter/guitarist) and Tim
(bass and vocals) player create a musical
gumbo that is one part Newport Folk Fest,
and two parts Woodstock.
Together with Dennis Cotton (drums) and
Dennis Fancher (guitar) they create a
“rural cosmopolitan.” sound, blending folk,
rock, country, and R&B. In 2009 they plan to
travel more to try to reach a larger audience.
Explain the brothers, “We have to court
the audience, introduce ourselves and keep
people coming back.”

Pray to St. Jude
O holy St. Jude, apostle and Martyr,
great in virtue and rich in
miracles, near kinsman of Jesus
Christ, faithful intecessor of all
who invoke your special patronage
in time of need, to you I have
recourse from the depth of my
heart and humbly beg to whom
God has given such great power
to come to my assistance. Help
me in my present and urgent petition.
In return, I promise to
make your name known and
cause you to be invoked. St.
Jude, pray for us and all who invoke
your aid. Say three Our Fathers,
three Hail Marys and three
Glorias. Publication must be
promised. This novena has never
been known to fail. N.E.M.

Kia Sorrento a Pleasant Competitor in Midsize
SUV Arena But With Low Gas Mileage
BY KEITH GRIFFIN
I learned an important lesson recently
that I’m going to have to impart on my
used car website: usedcars.about.com.
Basically, take into account your bulkiest
clothes possible when test driving a
car.
That dawned on after a week with the
Kia Sorrento. In the midst of some of
winter’s coldest days I was wearing
some of my bulkiest clothing and space
became somewhat of an issue. At first I
thought it was because Kia had skimped
on the legroom space for the Sorrento.
A quick look at its statistics and those of
its competitors, the Ford Escape and the
Toyota RAV4 proved me wrong. At 42.6
inches, it has the most front legroom.
Nope, my problem was with the darn
winter coat. It contributed to an uncomfortable
driving position. Of course the
weather warmed up the day after I
turned in the Sorrento. I’m sure I would
have been comfortable in a lighter jacket
and enjoyed this SUV even more.
I like that Kia doesn’t try to describe
this vehicle as a crossover. It’s a true
SUV because it has off-road chops.
Granted I didn’t try to take it over the
hill and through the woods to grandma’s
house, but it handled a mixture of snow
and ice well.
The 2009 Sorento is available in twowheel
and four-wheel drive (4WD) configurations.
On two-wheel drive (2WD)
models power is directed to the rear
wheels, while the 4WD offers a part-time
or a Torque-on-Demand automatic fulltime
4WD system, depending upon the
option package. The part-time 4WD system
engages with the turn of a knob for
shift-on-the-fly operation and has a
transfer case equipped with a low range
for the most challenging off-road situations.
The full-time automatic Torque-On-
Demand 4WD system, also with a low
range, is available on the EX trim level
as part of the luxury package. The system
automatically detects wheel slippage
200 times per second, seamlessly
transferring power between the rear
and front wheels without requiring driver
input. With Torque-On-Demand,
Sorento provides all-weather, all-terrain
capability.
Standard comfort and convenience features
include air conditioning on all
models and trim levels, power windows/door
locks/heated mirrors, cruise
control, 10-speaker AM/FM/
CD/MP3 audio system, full overhead
console with sunglass storage, map
lights and garage door opener pocket,
four 12V power outlets, eight-way
adjustable driver’s seat, 60/40 split flipand-fold
rear seats, rear privacy glass,
cargo cover, roof rails and keyless entry
with panic alarm.
LX Value Package models have nicely
appointed leather seats, leatherwrapped
steering wheel and shift knob,
a sunroof and the 16-inch wheels and
tires. The EX trim line features an eightway
power driver’s seat, fog lights,
HomeLink, a trip computer in the multimeter
that includes outside temperature
gauge, compass, average speed and
range, while travel time also is added to
the overhead console.
EX Luxury Package adds leather seating
and interior trim, dual-zone automatic
air conditioning, heated front seats, a 10-
speaker AM/FM/six-disc/CD/MP3
audio system, power sunroof, auto headlamps,
Torque-on-Demand full-time
four-wheel drive and 16-inch machined
alloy wheels.
All EX models come standard with the
3.8-liter V6 engine, which produces 262
horsepower, 260 pound-feet of torque
and a 5,000-pound towing capacity. With
that power comes lackluster fuel economy
of 15 mpg city and 20 mpg highway.
The previously mentioned RAV4 gets
19/26 and 17/22. Granted, the engines
are smaller, but neither of the competitors
is going to disappoint you on the
performance front.
Safety is good with the Sorrento. Its
standard safety features include
The 2009 Kia Sorrento a solid SUV but low gas numbers might put you off.
advanced two-stage airbags, full-length
side curtain airbags, driver knee airbag,
four-wheel disc brakes with antilock
brakes, electronic stability control and
traction control system, tire pressure
monitoring system, active front headrests
(now standard on all models), and
energy-absorbing steering column. In
other safety news, the Sorento is the
recipient of an Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety (IIHS) “good” rating, a
two-time recipient of a National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) five-star crash safety rating
for all four seating positions and a “Best
Bet” by The Car Book 2007.
The MSRP is $27,365, but the good news
is nobody is paying full price for an SUV.
According to kbb.com, you can expect to
pay about $26,800. I’d be surprised if you
can’t get a better deal.
