CHARLTON — A new chapter of a local 

heating assistance agency has been officially 

established to help needy Charlton residents. 

“We want to try and take care of our elders,” 

Charlton Police Chief James A. Pervier said 

in a telephone interview last week. 

A spin-off of the 

Residential Energy 

Assistance for Seniors 

formed in neighboring 

Sturbridge earlier this year, 

the group intends to provide 

heating and cooling assistance 

to senior citizens from 

money raised within the 

James Pervier community. The Charlton 

Villager had previously 

reported on the idea to bring a branch of the 

group to the community. 

“During an unstable economy our seniors, 

many of whom live on limited fixed incomes 

barely able to keep pace with rising costs, will 

become significantly more vulnerable during 

these economic downturns. This chapter provides 

us an additional tool with which to 

address those concerns,” said Pervier in a 

Friday Nov. 28 press release. 

The chief serves as the one of the group’s 

outreach and public information officers. 

While the group is still in its formative 

stages, Pervier said, they have already set a 

$15,000 fundraising goal. Letters to local businesses 

will be sent out seeking donations, he 

said. The group’s goal is to raise $5,000 by having 

500 residents donate $10 a piece, according 

to the REAS Charlton Web site, www.reasfoundation.org/charlton, 

$10,000 from local businesses. Southbridge 

Savings Bank has “indicated its intentions” to 

give the group a $2,000 startup donation, 

according to the press release. 

“The sooner we get money the sooner we 

can start helping people,” 

“Obviously, we want to raise as much as we 

can.” 

Those in need of assistance have to be at 

least 60 years old, according to Pervier. Other 

factors, such as financial status, are factored 

into award decisions.

PROJECT SNUBBED FOR 

SECOND TIME 


STAFF WRITER 

CHARLTON — For the second 

time, Special Town Meeting voters 

rejected spending $3.5 million 

on the planned highway 

facility. 

“I think we will have to revisit 

it. It’s too important a project,” 

said Selectmen Chairman Rick 

Swensen after the meeting held 

at the Charlton Middle School 

Tuesday, Nov. 25. 

A two-thirds vote was 

required to pass the debt exclusion 

— 178 voters favored the 

project while 119 opposed it in a 

hand count. It had been 

approved by an Election Day ballot 

question. The project 

requires a ballot and town meeting 

vote and the monetary construction 

bids were set to expire 

yesterday, Thursday, Dec. 4. 

A heated discussion ensued 

before the vote, with Partridge 

Hill Road resident Dan Prouty 

opposing the project.

about a few things here. I can’t

CHARLTON — Special town 

meeting voters unanimously 

approved a new bylaw last week 

that places restrictions on where 

Level 2 and 3 sex offenders can 

live. 

“The goal is to keep sex offenders 

away from away areas … 

where there may be more temptation,” 

Selectmen Chairman Rick 

Swensen said one day after the 

Nov. 25 meeting at Charlton 

Middle School. 

The measure, which doesn’t 

take affect until the state 

Attorney General’s (AG) Office 

approves it, bars offenders from 

living within 2,000 feet of a 

school, park, day care center or 

elderly housing facility. 

The 2,000-feet figure, motioned 

by Osgood Road resident Karen 

Spiewak, replaced the original 

distance of 500 feet. Several other 

last-minute legal changes were 

made after the town consulted 

with the state AG’s office, according 

to Town Administrator Robin 

L. Craver. 

Level 2 offenders, 

of which 

there are two in 

town, have a 

“moderate” risk 

of re-offending, 

according to the 

stated Sex 

O f f e n d e r 

Registry. There 

are three Level Rick Swensen 

3, or “high” risk. 

offenders in the community. have 

a “high risk.” 

First-time violators of the 

bylaw would be notified that they 

have 30 days to move. Second violations 

carry a $300 fine, with 

each day constituting a separate 

violation. Landlords and the state 

sex offender registry would also 

be notified. 

The bylaw, however, would not 

apply to sex offenders who moved 

to a school or other regulated area

Charlton vote ends regionalization plan 

STURBRIDGE TO CONTINUE EFFORT TO HIRE NEW BUILDING INSPECTOR 

VILLAGER ALMANAC 


STAFF WRITER 

Charlton has refused Sturbridge’s 

offer to regionalize building inspection 

services with Southbridge. 

“They have decided not to move forward 

with that,” Sturbridge Town 

Administrator James J. Malloy said at 

the Monday, Dec. 1 Board of 

Selectmen’s meeting. 

As a result, Sturbridge is accepting 

applications to permanently fill its 

building inspector post, according to 

Malloy, who has received 20 applications 

so far. The deadline for additional 

applications is today, Friday, Dec. 5. 

The job opened up last month after 

Malloy terminated former inspector 

Harold Nichols for “performance reasons.” 

Ted Tetreault is temporarily 

filling the post. 

Charlton Building Inspector Curtis 

Meskus, who also serves as the Zoning 

Enforcement Officer in his town, said 

the arrangement would have been 

problematic. 

“I don’t see how I can serve 

Charlton and serve Sturbridge on a 

continual basis,” he said. “The decision 

was made with best interests of 

the town of Charlton in mind.” 

Despite fewer requests for house 

building permits, Meskus said, his 

other informal Town Hall duties, such 

as maintaining town computers, keep 

him busy. 

Confirming the decision Charlton 

made last month, Selectmen Vice 

Chairman Peter J. Boria agreed with 

Meskus. 

“I think that people right now have 

to wait for a building permit … if he 

was out of town … people would have 

to wait even longer,” Boria said. “He 

has enough on his plate right now.” 

Boria said sending Meskus to other 

towns would force Charlton to hire an 

assistant inspector thus negating any 

potential savings. 

Selectman Scott D. Brown had 

mixed feelings about the idea. 

“Conceptually, it’s a good idea,” he 

said. “I don’t think we’re in a position 

to share resources.” 

Southbridge Town Manager 

Christopher Clark could not be 

reached for comment last week. 

Under the Sturbridge proposal 

meant to save each community 

money, the Charlton building inspector 

would work one day in Sturbridge 

during one week and two the following 

week. The Southbridge inspector 

would work two days in Sturbridge 

one week and one day the next week. 

That would average out to three and a 

half days each week for Charlton and 

Southbridge and three for Sturbridge, 

according to Malloy. 

“Then it would just repeat on that 

cycle. It works for the other two towns 

and it works for us,” Malloy said last 

month. 

The idea comes at a time when the 

number of building permits issued is 

dropping. In 2007, Charlton issued 397 

permits relating to new homes or 

remodeling, compared to 470 in 2006, 

according to the town’s reports for 

those years. That’s down from 736 in 

2004 and 492 in 2003. 

Sturbridge issued 246 buildings permits 

last year, according to its town 

report, which includes house and pellet 

stove permits. 

“This year we saw a slowdown in 

single family dwelling applications. 

However, we have issued quiet a few 

more applications for additions, 

repairs and alterations,” the report 

states.

as much as we can.”

Master Plan takes long-term look at town 


STAFF WRITER 

CHARLTON — Accommodating future 

housing, traffic and business needs are just 

a few of several topics covered in the final 

version of the town’s master plan. 

The community’s rural character should 

be maintained with whatever changes are 

made, according to the plan, whose formation 

began in 2006. 

“It’s a guide and invaluable reference,” 

Town Planner Alan I. Gordon said. “This 

town had a very good track [record] in the 

last plan in implementing. I think the town 

would continue in the same vein.” 

Seeing the need to update the previous 

plan put together in 2000, the Planning 

Board partnered with the 

Watertown-based Vanasse Hangen 

Brustlin planning consulting firm, 

and a long list of officials and residents 

to compile the document. It is 

intended to be a strategy for implementing 

changes into the community. 

With many foreclosures occurring 

nationwide, a wider variety of 

housing needs to be constructed to 

accommodate the forecasted population 

growth, according to the plan. Town-owned 

property should be used for more affordable 

housing units, of which the town currently 

has 52, to provide homes to the more than 

18,000 people forecasted to be living in the 

town by 2030. About 13,714 residents lived in 

the community as of 2006. More duplex and 

multi-family homes should bee built as well, 

according to the plan. 

The buildings would play home to the 

changing age demographic of the town. 

From 2006-2006, the community saw a 4-percent 

increase in 25-34-year-olds, and a 70-percent 

increase in 55-64-year-olds. There was a 

106-percent increase in 18-24-year-olds. 

Boosting the town’s economy is also identified 

as a critical need for the future, specifically 

the business tax base. According to 

Alleged rock throwers back in court

Seven young suspects accused 

of throwing rocks through the 

windows of several Charlton 

homes over the summer 

appeared in court last week after 

having already pleaded not 

guilty.

HOUSING, TRAFFIC, BUSINESS EXAMINED 

the plan, a wider of range of businesses is 

needed, along with more promotion of 

Charlton being a good place to open up shop. 

Any new businesses would create more 

jobs for a community that employed 3,380 

individuals as of 2005, out of a workforce of 

7,000 residents (those who were able to 

work). By 2030, Charlton jobs are expected to 

increase to 3,760. The workforce is expected 

to be 9,000 by 2020. Farmington, Conn.-based 

Konover Associate’s plans to build a retail 

shopping center along Route 20 would bring 

more jobs to the town. A Lowe’s Home 

Improvement store is planned to anchor the 

complex and developers are trying to attract 

a bank, movie theater and grocery store to 

the site. Wednesday, Dec. 17 is the deadline 

“If you don’t follow the plan … [the town] 

might be looking back with regret years later.” 

Charlton teenagers, appeared in 

Dudley District Court for a pretrial 

hearing Tuesday, Nov. 25. 

The suspects are scheduled to 

appear again for a compliance 

hearing Wednesday, Feb. 4. 

Stemming from incidents from 

June through September, police

— TOWN PLANNER ALAN I. GORDON, 

ON THE TOWN’S MASTER PLAN. 

NEWS BRIEF 

property and conspiracy: Kevin 

Bousquet, 17, of 78 City Depot 

Road; Kyle C. Tyburski, 18, of 59 

North Sturbridge Road; Joshua 

J. Lima, 18, of 78 E. Baylies Road; 

James T. Mohr, 18; of 39 Stafford 

St., Nathan Joyner, 18, of 64 

Oxford Road; Mitchell R. 

Prudhomme, 17, of 279 North 

Sturbridge Road; and Thomas 

for the project’s site plan to be voted on. It is 

scheduled to be discussed at the Wednesday, 

Dec. 10 Planning Board meeting. 

Getting to and from work, or to other 

places, also needs to be modified, according 

to the plan. 

“… Residents repeatedly raised transportation-related 

issues and concerns. 

Residents fear that uncontrolled new 

growth will exacerbate traffic congestion 

and thus degrade the quality life,” the plan 

reads. 

Developments should be placed near 

roads that handle higher amounts of traffic 

and more walking and biking paths should 

be built, the plan states. A road connecting 

the eastern and western portions of town 

should even be considered. Expanding shuttle 

bus services should also be examined. 

Municipal services should also be expanded 

to keep pace with the needs of a growing 

town, according to the plan. Schools should 

be renovated and more teachers should be 

hired, along with maintaining buildings and 

water/sewer services. Green technologies 

should also be utilized in current and future 

town buildings. 

The report, which Gordon called “very 

affordable” at $48,000, references town buildings. 

Town meeting voters recently rejected 

$3.5 million for a planned highway department 

garage. Plans for a new fire station, 

senior center and recreational complex are 

in the works. 

There is no set date for when the next plan 

will be created, but generally, 

Gordon said, it should be updated 

when the data becomes obsolete 

or many of the recommendations 

have been achieved. 

Failing to implement recommendations 

should also be a factor in 

that consideration, he said. 

A large group of people helped 

bring the plan to fruition, 

including selectmen, consultants 

from the Central Mass 

Regional Planning Commission and many 

other municipal employees. Gordon lauded 

their cooperative spirit. 

“They ultimately worked well together to 

get this completed,” he said. “I think the 

Planning Board was very encouraged. I see 

it as a very positive experience.” 

With whatever comes the town’s way, 

Gordon’s warned of the possibilities of not 

following the plan. 

“If you don’t follow the plan … [the town] 

might be looking back with regret years 

later,” he said.

Having trouble affording your mortgage? 

Are you on the verge of foreclosure? 

There are many ways to get 

out of a home you can no 

longer afford. Foreclosure is 

one of the hardest & the most 

detrimental for both the 

homeowner & the lender. It is 

a process that destroys the 

homeowner's credit, embarrasses 

the family and strips 

an owner of dignity. For owners 

who can no longer afford 

to keep mortgage payments 

current, there are alternatives 

to bankruptcy or foreclosure 

proceedings. One of 

those options is called a 

"Short Sale." 

When lenders agree to do a 

short sale in real estate, it 

means the lender is accepting 

less than the total amount 

due. A short sale typically is 

executed to prevent a home 

foreclosure. Often, a bank 

will agree to a Short Sale if 

they believe that it will result 

in a smaller financial loss 

than foreclosing. For the 

home owner, the advantages 

include avoidance of having 

a foreclosure on their credit 

history. Additionally, a Short 

Sale is typically faster and 

less expensive than filing 

bankruptcy or a foreclosure. 

Foreclosure is expensive 

for a mortgage lender. 

Mortgage Lenders are not in 

the business of foreclosing on 

houses, they are in business 

of making loans. They don't 

want the house back. They 

prefer to have the Fair 

Market Value of the property, 

which in this Buyer's Market, 

is typically less than the 

mortgage amount. 

If you think a Short Sale 

maybe right for you, or if you 

want to learn more, call now 

to find out how you can avoid 

Foreclosure and save your 

credit. We are here to help 

you every step of the way.

It was Mark Twain who noted a century 

or so ago, "If you don't read the 

newspapers you are 

uninformed." 

Of course, in true 

Twain fashion, he also 

added, "If you do read 

the newspapers you are 

misinformed." Of 

course, there was no television 

news for Twain 

to comment on in those 

days, or he most likely 

would have had something 

cogent, and 

AS YOU 

scathing, to say about LIKE IT 

that branch of the modern 

media. 

MARK ASHTON 

It was Thanksgiving 

evening, I believe, when 

one in our turkey-stuffed, tryptophantrippin,' 

pie-puffed party asked, "Why do 

we even bother watching the news anymore?" 

She was reacting, I think, to some 

particular bit of nastiness that is the staple 

of modern TV journalism, certainly 

not the stuff of Thanksgiving dreams nor 

a very pleasant way to cap a day of counting 

— and enjoying — our blessings. 

Even if what sparked her remark wasn't 

something about the "faltering," "failing," 

"plummeting," recessing, or depressing 

economy, I'm sure there was mention 

of that topic at some point in the evening 

newscast, since that, we are told, is what 

is worrying us all to death. I will be the 

first to admit that I haven't a clue to 

what's ailing the economy or causing 

economists so much concern nowadays. 

For one thing, we're too busy trying to 

earn a living, paying the mortgage and 

fuel oil bills, trying to slice up credit cards 

as fast as credit card companies can mail 

them to us, and trying to set aside a dollar 

or two for either the proverbial rainy day 

or that far-distant era when we might 

declare ourselves "retired." For another 

thing, stocks and bonds and IRAs and 

401K’s and oil futures are as foreign to me 

as, well, foreign oil, I suppose. 

What irks me, however, even more than 

the "mess" we nowadays find ourselves 

and our economy in, is the plethora of 

economic "experts" TV news shows call 

upon to comment on things. They invariably 

suggest a cause for the "recent downturn" 

and offer a helpful suggestion or 

two as to how to rectify things ("We need 

to spend more money!" or "We need to 

save more money — so we can give it all to 

the banks and insurance companies when 

they ask for it later on!"). 

A friend at work recently noted, quite 

rightly, that it was such "economic 

experts" who came up with the schemes 

(or is it scams?) that have brought our 

housing market to ruin and toppled the 

lending institutions by virtue of their 

own greed and lack of real vision. Some 

of these same experts are now being 

brought onboard the "economic team" of 

advisors charged with leading us all back

to solvency, salvation, and success in the 

national and global economies. 

The truly irksome thing about TV news, 

however, is its use of experts on every 

subject imaginable. Along with the aforementioned 

weather prognosticators, they 

educate us with health care experts (we 

used to call them doctors), legal experts 

(lawyers and judges), political commentators 

and pollsters (hacks), and traffic 

advisors (helicopter pilots). 

The one that pushed me over the edge 

recently was the network morning show 

on the day after Thanksgiving that promised 

"after the break" to have Emeril 

Legasse tell us "what to do with all those 

Thanksgiving leftovers!" Well, I was 

beginning to suspect that TV newspeople 

thought we were all dunces, but this just 

clinches it. 

Imagine yourself and a loved one 

engaged in conversation in your kitchen 

on Thanksgiving night: 

You: "Well, we've done it again. We didn't 

guess right on the amount of turkey 

we needed. There's too much left over. I 

can't imagine what to do with it all. I 

know some families say they enjoy turkey 

sandwiches, and I suppose I have a recipe 

for turkey salad somewhere, or maybe we 

could use that newfangled microwave 

thingie and 'reheat' some at some future 

date, but it all seems so ... confusing." 

Loved One: "You're right. And we've 

also got mashed potatoes and squash left 

over, and enough green bean casserole for 

54 people. Oh, and stuffing. What could we 

possibly ever do with leftover potatoes 

and stuffing and stuff ?" 

You: "And look here -—there's even 

some leftover gravy. How are we s'posed to 

get rid of that — wait ’til hazardous waste 

day at the landfill and dump it out with 

our used motor oil?" 

Loved One: "O, woe is us! Too bad 

there's not an expert around to advise us 

on what to do with this otherwise totally 

perplexing bounty of what was once good 

food but has become a burden unto us." 

Hey, I'm as big a fan of Emeril as the 

next guy (as long as the next guy knows 

who Emeril is but really doesn't care to 

seek his advice on anything more than 

when to shout "Bam!" when grilling a 

backyard burger), but his advice in this 

case is as useful as it is truly sought after 

(i.e. zilch!). 

Likewise, the constant expert advice 

from economists whose input has: 1) created 

our current economic crisis; and 2) 

decided that you and I are the only ones 

solvent enough to bail out the big guys, 

who must be saved at all costs (with the 

costs being all ours and the salvation 

being all theirs). 

Experts — you can't live with 'em and 

you can't ... shoot 'em. May the saints preserve 

us from so many experts.

Diver Down 

TRAINING INTENSE FOR EMERGENCY 

BY BILL BUCKLEY 

SPECIAL TO THE VILLAGER 

Members of the Charlton 

Dive Team (12 Charlton firefighters, 

three Charlton 

police officers, a Sturbridge 

firefighter and an Auburn 

firefighter) bared the rain, 

near freezing temperatures 

and strong winds one recent 

weekend to earn its 32-hour 

Rapid Deployment Search 

and Rescue certification 

through Lifeguard Systems 

Inc. at Camp Foskett in 

Charlton. 

The training, funded 

through a donation from an 

anonymous contributor, saw 

the team of mostly volunteers 

and some newly certified 

divers, participate in a 

day of classroom study. 

Participants covered key 

items such as, equipment 

configuration, responsibilities 

of Fire, Police, & EMS, 

how to handle a victim from 

the rescue diver to emergency 

room, scene and accident 

management, profiling 

trifexing and information 

documentation, witness 

interviewing, contingency 

plans, writing effective and 

safe standard operating 

guidelines, how to calculate 

surface air consumption 

rates (this is key to knowing 

how much air a diver will 

use during the dive) and the 

difference between rescue 

and recovery. They also had 

four hours of hands-on land 

training that covered rapid 

tender/diver dressing 

(under 3 minutes), rope signal 

drills, blacked out mask 

line tending searches and 

blackwater emergency procedures. 

The two days of diving 

consisted of a series of full 

simulation drills covering 

multiple search techniques, 

witness interviews, correct 

line tending procedures, profiling 

the search area, out of 

air and entanglement situations, 

proper use of the backup 

and 90-percent ready 

diver. Each diver had to complete 

three search dives, two 

contingency dives, in addition 

to tending and profiling. 

I had the privilege 

of attending the two days of 

diving with this team. I 

arrived at 7:30 on a Saturday 

morning at the Charlton Fire 

Station to meet the members

TEAM’S CERTIFICATION 

Bill Buckley photos 

Members of the Charlton, Sturbridge and Auburn Dive Teams after successfully completing a three-and-ahalf 

day rapid deployment search & rescue training and certification. 

Hendrick, founder and president 

of Lifeguard Systems, 

and Andrea Zaferes, vice 

president. They have been 

training public safety divers 

and rescuers for more than 

30 years in 15 countries. 

The team arrived at Camp 

Foskett at 8 and the instructors 

began to run the scenarios. 

Two witnesses were chosen 

and given the stories to 

tell the interviewers. The 

dive team proceeded to 

secure the scene, conduct 

interviews, contain the 

zones and get the diving 

operations areas setup as 

well as getting the divers and 

tenders ready. It was interesting 

to see the different 

levels of uncertainty and 

confusion at the start of the 

day, but this is what training 

and training scenarios are 

all about: learning to set priorities, 

manage the scene 

and the use of the resources 

available. 

The diving started with 

the diver getting acclimated 

in the water for a minute 

while breathing off the regulator 

with no mask, the face 

in the water and the tender 

and profiler tracking the 

breathing rate. The diver 

then proceeded out to the 

designated location as the 

tender directed them with 

use of line signals and 

descended to start an arc 

search of a specified area 

that is controlled by the tenders 

line length. He signals 

to have the diver search left 

or right while the profiler 

maps out the search pattern 

using land marks on the 

opposite shore. The backup 

diver is fully dressed and sits 

in close range of the entry 

point for rapid entry, should 

the diver have any problems. 

The backup is also the next 

diver in the rotation, should 

the object not be found within 

the primary divers allotted 

amount of time. This 

rotation will continue 

throughout the operation, 

per the department’s standard 

operating guidelines, 

leaving two contingency 

divers on the surface for 

each diver under water. 

Though the morning had 

some confusion, this team 

that started as scuba divers 

turned the corner to become 

a trained public safety dive 

team by the end of Day 1, and 

looked to be getting comfortable 

in all the rolls needed to 

conduct a professional and 

successful search and rescue 

operation. 

Day 2 started right where 

Day 1 left off, with a few 

changes in command to 

spread out the stress level. 

This time the focus was on a 

dockline search, where the 

tender walks a straight line 

with the diver between a predetermined 

distance — all 

controlled by the tender. The 

diver’s responsibility is to 

search for the object and 

keep the tender’s line taut 

and the tender will do the 

rest. 

This was also the day we 

would learn about entanglement, 

running out of air 

emergencies, deploying the 

backup diver and deployment 

of the contingency air 

tank. Divers were required 

at the start of the day to randomly 

attach fishing line to 

themselves, and once a 

search was complete the primary 

diver would signal the 

tender with a three plus 

three plus three line signal. 

This is meant to deploy the 

back up, who would attach a 

contingency line to the primary 

diver’s line and follow 

this down to the diver and 

then try to find all the line 

attached to the diver and cut 

it off. They were also 

required to go to a “cutting 

station,” which had string, 

wire, fishing line and zip 

ties. Divers had to cut off one 

of each item and bring it to 

the surface. 

A similar scenario was 

run and this was used to 

show how to bring the contingency 

tank down to the 

primary diver using a contingency 

line, not only on the 

backup diver but also the 

tank. 

By lunchtime on Day 2, 

you would not have know 

that this was a newly trained 

dive team. It would have 

been easy to assume they 

were actually running a rescue 

operation. 

This was a great weekend 

for the towns of Charlton, 

Sturbridge and Auburn, as 

these communities should be 

proud of what the dive teams 

achieved to not only keep the 

public safe, but to make sure 

they go home to their families 

at the end of the day.

OPINION 

VIEWS AND COMMENTARY FROM CHARLTON, CHARLTON CITY, CHARLTON DEPOT AND BEYOND 

EDITORIAL 

College campus 

in area still a 

possibility 

When the governor earlier this year 

revealed budget cuts of hundreds of 

millions of dollars, it might have been 

hard to believe that any local initiative 

would be able to move forward — at 

least any time soon. 

But local and state officials remain 

optimistic — if cautiously so — about 

Southbridge’s chances of landing a 

campus as part of Quinsigamond 

Community College. The town has 

been aggressive in wooing the college 

to town, and for that people like 

Economic Development Director 

Cassandra Acly deserve praise. 

That would benefit Charlton, a town 

that likely has some students who currently 

commute to Worcester to attend 

the two-year college. 

The area has advocates on the state 

level as well, Charlton’s own Geraldo 

Alicea and Sen. Stephen Brewer, D- 

Barre, being among the most vocal. 

Addressing local business leaders earlier 

this month, Brewer touted the 

benefits of establishing a college campus 

here. In the process, he took a shot 

at the Southbridge Hotel and 

Conference Center — home to 

Department of Defense offices — by 

referring to it as “the pink elephant.” 

Brewer said the facility should be 

used to its full potential. A college 

campus would be a good place to start. 

There is no guarantee QCC or any 

other college will come here, but 

Brewer and other state lawmakers 

fought to make sure a $100,000 earmark 

remained in the budget, to allow 

for continued study of the possibility. 

With recent developments eliciting 

negative reactions from some in 

Southbridge, such as the news that a 

methadone clinic is opening on Main 

Street, it remains critical to keep touting 

the positives that the town has to 

offer — and can offer. 

A college campus? That would offer 

a lot to more than just that town — it 

stands to be a positive for Charlton, 

Sturbridge and other area towns. And 

QCC makes sense, given that it already 

holds night classes at Southbridge 

High School (it has for more than 

three decades). Just as it is high time, 

however, for a new high school, it is 

time for separate college campus that 

can draw students from other towns 

and infuse a fresh vitality into the 

area. 

It won’t be easy, but it is a good sign 

that those who can help make it happen 

are still talking about it and working 

to make it a reality.

EDITOR/EDITOR 

AT LARGE 

A multi-pronged effort helped Chip-In pantry 

To the Editor: 

The Board of Directors and members for 

the Chip-In food pantry would like to thank 

the Charlton community for its continued. 

As many may know, 2008 has brought new 

clients in need to our doors for assistance. 

Although, sometimes overwhelming, we are 

very grateful that, with the help of Charlton’s 

residents, businesses and civic clubs, these 

newcomers have been assisted. 

We at Chip-In would like to mention the 

many good deeds of our townspeople: 

The Charlton Board of Selectmen and town 

employees who braved the cold dunk tank at 

Old Home Day. 

Charlton Senior Center participants and 

Junior Girl Scout Troop 3439 for their canned 

item donations. 

The Lions Club for donating not only service 

hours, canned food, but items for our 

beautiful gift baskets, 

Dance Mechanix Studio for their tireless 

collection of donated items and monetary 

donations. 

Charlton PTO and the Charlton Middle 

School students and faculty for the annual 

fall food drive that supplements our winter 

needs. 

Boy Scout Troop 165 unbelievable can drive 

School holds eighth annual food drive 

To the Editor: 

Charlton Middle School, for the eighth year 

in a row, collected 2887 food items to benefit 

Chip-In for the holiday season. 

In a little over two weeks time, students 

competed against each other for the highest 

number of food items donated. This year’s 

top single contributors are Cameron Stearns, 

131 items; Lauren Wilson, 108 items; &and 

Ethan MacGrey, 93 items. The contest sponsor, 

Millennium Power, will award the top 

three students, prizes for their excellent contributions 

and hard work. Breakfast and 

TO THE EDITOR 

Headed into the 

of over 2,000 pounds, and their service to support 

our stock room. 

The Helping Hand Society, Charlton 

Garden Club, Carpenter Hill Childcare, Guild 

of St. Agnes, Elements of Massage and Janet 

Puckett, representing the Charlton Industrial 

Park Businesses, for their fall food drives. 

Millennium Power , O’Malley’s Truck & 

Auto and Fallon Community Health Center 

for their monetary donation to assist our 

purchase power for the holidays. 

BT Copy, Paul Daoust & Co., Worcester 

County Food Bank & Project Bread for their 

never-failing support. 

And finally, many thanks to the residents 

who took the time to remember Chip-In, and 

those less fortunate. 

These donations and good deeds, when tallied 

together, amass to a collection that sustains 

our food pantry. Without the community 

help and continued support, many area 

family and friends would find it difficult to 

make ends meet on a monthly basis. 

The community spirit in Charlton is evident 

in the generosity given to those less fortunate.

prizes will also be awarded to the top four 

contributing homerooms that brought in the 

most items for the contest. 

Special thanks goes to Mrs. Morrissey and 

her students, who brought in 289 items. Their 

contributions won the first-place award, beating 

out Mrs. Hill’s second-place homeroom 

total of 272 items. Mrs. Warms and Mrs. 

Fitzgerald brought in third and fourth place, 

respectively, with 132 and 107 items.

‘twilight’ of my life 

It happens to everyone at one 

point or another. 

Maybe it was the first time 

you realized that your favorite 

childhood park was actually 

quaint and small, not the huge 

wonderland you remember. 

Maybe it was heading back 

home to see that things are 

almost the same as they were 

when you were younger — 

almost the same, but not quite … Or maybe 

you went to go see “Twilight” last weekend, 

dragged in by your 14-year-old brother. Yeah, 

maybe it was “Twilight” that did it. 

For anyone who is no longer a teenager and 

does not quite feel old right now, but would 

like to get that kind of eerie, creepy, squeamish 

feeling that tells you that you don’t quite 

belong somewhere, I highly recommend getting 

yourself to the nearest computer and 

reserving a ticket in advance so that you, too, 

you can have the cinematic experience that is 

“Twilight.” Really and truly. 

I walked into “Twilight” with aforementioned 

younger brother, well, because he actually 

read the darn books. And to be truthful, so 

did I this past summer, on a break between 

graduating from college and starting graduate 

school. It was summer. I didn’t have much else 

to do … except sleep after working all week, 

and really, who wants to do that? 

One of my college roommates had a magnet 

on our fridge last year, which everyone 

claimed looked like me: a young woman who 

resembled Rosie the Riveter with her eyes 

open about four times too wide, holding a cup 

of coffee, exclaiming: “Sleep? Who needs 

sleep? Sleep when you’re dead!” 

Well, it might be an apt, if exaggerated, 

depiction of my life philosophy as I stay up 

until all hours getting my schoolwork done, 

but the image of this magnet popped into my 

head as I was watching one of the vampires 

tell the main character, Bella, who is a human, 

that vampires don’t sleep in the movie. All of a 

sudden this teenage heartthrob, Edward, who 

had skin pale as anything and whose sole acting 

device in the film consisted of awkwardly 

squinting his eyes in the general direction of 

the camera while sort of growling and scowling, 

in my mind had the face of Rosie the 

Riveter and was holding a cup of coffee with 

really wide eyes as he looked at Bella. Really. 

This is how compelling his acting was. 

This moment in the film brought me into an 

existential crisis. Vampires are the undead. 

They don’t sleep. Very often, in the midst of 

pulling an all-nighter, I don’t sleep. Images of 

Rosie the Riveter and Edward Cullen, Vampire 

Heartthrob, started dancing in my mind. My 

overtired brain came up with two conclusions: 

1) vampires aren’t really undead, and they just 

drink a lot of coffee, Rosie the Riveter-style, or 

2) If I didn’t start sleeping more, maybe people 

would begin to think I was undead … 

As you can imagine, this is quite a disturbing 

conclusion to come to. 

This was not, however, the most disturbing 

part of the movie. That part came the second I

KRISTINA 

REARDON 

entered the theater to find the 

seats filled with giggling girls 

who I dismissed immediately as 

young and giddy, many probably 

on first dates, only to have 

my brother inform me that they 

were probably older than him 

and, based on their behaviors, 

were most certainly not on their 

first dates. That’s when I really 

began to realize: I am old. I am 

potentially now un-cool in the eyes of said 

younger brother. 

This conclusion was confirmed by the fact 

that I considered Edward’s declaration of love 

(squinting his eyes angrily, as he stares slightly 

off center from the camera’s lens, and says 

to Bella in a raspy voice: “You are my life 

now.”) to be unequivocally and distinctly disturbing. 

As the giddy girls in the row in front 

of us swooned, I started laughing out loud. 

This did not bode well for my cool factor at 

that given moment. 

In addition, I would like to note that I found 

the best scene of the movie to be the first kiss 

scene, between Bella and Edward. In keeping 

with the slow pace of the film where Edward 

and Bella primarily glare at each other — I 

mean, stare lovingly into each other’s eyes — 

this scene, in my mind, lasted approximately 

27 minutes and consisted of a shot-reverseshot 

sequence where Bella and Edward 

squinted at each other so angrily before finally 

kissing that I wanted to offer one or both of 

them my glasses. The highlight of this particular 

scene, of course, was that one of the dates 

of the giddy girls in the row in front of us, 

around minute fourteen, yelled: “Take your 

time!” 

This time, the whole theater erupted in 

laughter. This, of course, brought me back to 

the whole coffee cup, sleep when you’re dead 

thing, because realistically, I couldn’t bear to 

really focus on the rest of the movie. I began to 

wonder exactly how many cups of coffee the 

poor person running the film in the theater 

had to drink in order to stay awake for this 

film, show after sold-out show. 

So, I know the movie raked in $70.5 million 

in its opening weekend, a sequel is in the 

works, and teenage girls everywhere are probably 

rushing out to see this all over again this 

weekend. Newspaper articles have even 

declared that this movie is a turning point in 

the marketing and production of romantic 

comedies for female audiences — that girls 

show up in greater numbers than previously 

anticipated, and that more movies like this 

one should be made if profits are to be 

secured. 

This movie was, in a lot of ways, a turning 

point for me, too. It made me realize I am in 

the “twilight” of my younger years — and if 

everything I’ve written here doesn’t prove 

that, the groan I can already hear my younger 

brother uttering after reading that lame 

attempt at a joke in that last line sure does.

Stonebridge Press and Villager Newspapers. 

Country’s ‘house 

Negro’ has 

opportunity at hand 

BIRD’S 

NEST 

WALTER BIRD 

Well, that didn’t 

take long. 

In what should have been 

expected, the No. 2 man in al 

Qaeda, has reportedly 

called the president elect 

and two other prominent 

black Americans, “house 

Negroes.” 

Obama, according to 

Ayman al-Zawahri, does 

only what the whites want, 

and does not represent a 

change in U.S. policies. 

The Associated Press 

report, which appeared a 

couple weeks ago, quoted al- 

Zawahri as saying Obama is “the direct opposite 

of honorable black Americans,” such as 

Malcolm X. 

The other two “house Negroes,” according 

to al-Zawahri, are Colin Powell and 

Condoleezza Rice. 

There was a whole lot of other wonderful 

stuff reportedly said by al-Zawahri, like his 

quoted response to Obama’s publicly stated 

plan to shift troops to Afghanistan: “Be aware 

that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the 

flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send 

thousands after thousands to them.” 

The next president, al-Zawahri said, was 

“facing a Jihadi [holy war] awakening a renaissance 

which is shaking the pillars of the 

entire Islamic world …,” according to the AP 

report. 

Obama’s chief offense, according to al- 

Zawahri, was announcing his support of 

Israel, something that “confirmed to Ummah 

[Islamic world] that you have chosen a stance 

of hostility to Islam and Muslims.” 

One thing’s for certain: those al Qaeda types 

have a flair for flowery speech. I especially was 

struck by his “dogs of Afghanistan” warning. 

That this terrorist group is once again 

churning out its anti-American propaganda 

and trying to drum up what little support it 

has left in the Muslim world is hardly surprising. 

It’s what they do. 

What is surprising is that this is what 

they’ve been relegated to. 

It may be fashionable to declare the war on 

terror an abject failure, but the truth is actually 

quite the opposite. While there has been a 

reported resurgence of the Taliban in 

Afghanistan, we have also stepped up our war 

efforts there — something many folks think 

we should have done in the first place. 

While Pakistan isn’t exactly throwing a welcome 

party for U.S. air strikes along its mountainous 

borders, there is, according to reports, 

an understanding that our military efforts are 

aimed at al Qaeda, and that every effort is 

being made to spare civilian lives. 

Iraq still has pockets of trouble, but anyone 

who categorizes that effort as a complete failure 

simply is doing so out of a reluctance to 

give any credit to anything done under the 

Bush Administration. 

The hard fact is that the war on terror, 

unlike the war on drugs, has been largely successful. 

Middle East support for al Qaeda is 

not what it was, with many Muslims recognizing 

that it wasn’t their faith upon which the 

U.S. declared war, but against the radicals 

among them who struck first at the flesh of 

Americans. 

There have been documented cases of terrorist 

plans disrupted. What al Qaeda appears 

to have been relegated to is releasing the occasional 

video in which some high-ranking 

member promises bloodshed and “holy war” 

against America. 

That’s usually followed by a U.S. attack that 

takes out a high-ranking member of al Qaeda. 

The world now has terrorist organization 

that has resorted to racial slurs as a means to 

try and rile our country. Sorry, but we’ve 

already been there and done that, Mr. al- 

Zawahri. In case you’ve been living under a 

rock for all this time (oh, that’s right, you have. 

Sorry.) you may have noticed that racism has 

been something we’ve long struggled with. 

And while it will never completely be eradicated, 

we pretty much set the racism movement 

back a thousand years by electing a black president. 

For the record, he wasn’t elected solely by 

white America, although a good number of 

whites did find Obama a compelling choice as 

president. He was elected, in fact, by a virtual 

melting pot of folks from all backgrounds, of 

all skin colors and of all religions. 

“House Negro?” Hardly. If there’s one thing, 

in fact, that Obama was highly effective at during 

his campaign, it was rendering so many 

voters essentially blind to skin color. For 

them, it was about the words, the message, the 

promise of hope and a better way of life. 

For the future of our country, that promise 

must include a continued commitment to 

fighting terror and eliminating its evil. The 

war on terror has seen success, but it is hardly 

finished. Obama has a chance to finish what 

was started; he has promised, in fact, to concentrate 

efforts on finding Osama bin Laden. 

Ironically, he will, if successful, probably get 

the lion’s share of credit for defeating terrorism. 

Things like that matter to some folks. What 

matters most, however, is winning the war. 

Obama has been given that opportunity, and 

despite the latest rhetoric from al Qaeda, success 

is something that is well within reach.

Town worked with Sturbridge to form group 

PROGRAM 

continued from page 1 

The group’s formation had 

been in the works for months, 

according to the announcement. 

Several residents 

began exploring the idea 

recently as they noticed the 

declining “purchasing power 

of fixed incomes,” which led 

to Sturbridge and Charlton 

representatives discussing 

the idea. 

“The group examined various 

mechanisms over the last 

two months for providing 

energy assistance to qualifying 

Charlton seniors,” according 

to the announcement. 

The idea eventually took 

shape. 

“We’ve been working at this 

over the last two months and 

it’s rewarding to see it come 

to fruition,” REAS Charlton 

Chapter Director and Senior 

Center Director Elaine 

Kingston said in the statement. 

Jayne Vranos serves as the 

chairman of the group, with 

Police Lt. Carl Ekman as vice 

chairman. Webster First 

Federal Credit Union employee 

Alicia Dzik is the group’s 

administrative officer, along 

with Sheri Bibinski, who 

works with Southbridge 

Savings Bank and serves as 

the financial officer. Serving 

as board members are

Sturbridge Selectman Scott 

Garieri and Sturbridge 

Planning Board member 

Thomas Creamer formed 

REAS Sturbridge earlier this 

year. It quickly raised $20,000 

for senior citizens. 

Southbridge has formed a 

similar group, called 

Southbridge Emergency Fuel 

Assistance, which is open to 

all qualifying residents. 

Dudley has an organization,

see highway workers laid off 

in the future because we’ve 

got this albatross of a mortgage 

on our back.” 

Prouty also offered 3-4 

acres of his own land on 

Route 20 for the project. His 

comments drew the rebuke 

of the next speaker, 

Highway Superintendent 

Gerry Foskett. 

“It’s hard to sit here and 

listen to someone state 

untruths and misleading 

facts,” he said. He did not 

offer specifics. Baker Pond 

Road resident Mike Lally 

spoke passionately in favor 

of the project. 

“It should have been done 

a long time ago,” he said. “It 

is time that we have a modern, 

up-to-date and functional 

department. These guys 

[the highway workers] 

deserve it.”

before it was adopted, or to mentally ill individuals. 

Offenders living near facilities built 

after they moved to their home would also be 

exempt, as would individuals convicted of sexual 

offenses as minors. 

Police Chief James A. Pervier, who proposed 

the bylaw, noted its importance. 

“There are a lot of people that are Level 2’s 

that should be Level 3. A lot of these cases are 

watered down,” he said. 

He did not expand upon that statement. 

Twenty-one day care centers are in the 

town, he said. 

Spiewak supported the bylaw, calling it a 

“necessary step in protecting the innocent 

children of the town of Charlton.” 

Selectmen Swensen acknowledged the possibility 

of the measure being challenged in 

court. 

“That’s a concern,” he said. “I agree that 

everybody has the right to live someplace.” 

Selectmen Vice Chairman Peter J. Boria 

said the measure should be put on the books, 

but could be later amended. 

Requests for comment from the Boston 

office of the American Civil Liberties Union 

about the legal ramifications of the measure 

went unreturned last week. 

Dudley and Southbridge have similar measures 

on the books and Sturbridge is considering 

one. The Southbridge measure differs 

slightly from the Charlton bylaw by also 

restricting offenders from living near a place 

of worship. 

The bylaw takes on poignant meaning in a 

town that has seen at least one sex offender 

convicted in the past year, with another 

alleged offender’s case pending. Benjamin 

Coleman Jr., 54, of 115 Six Schoolhouse Road, 

is facing two counts of indecent assault and 

battery on a child under 14, according to court 

records. In August, he allegedly confessed to 

police that he had touched his 7-year-old 

granddaughter; however he pleaded not guilty 

at his September arraignment at Dudley 

District Court. 

In a separate case earlier this year, a jury 

convicted Roy A. Burlingame Sr. on one count 

of statutory rape against a child, his niece, Jo 

Ellen Burlingame, who is now 22.

Detective Sgt. Gary Mason investigated the 

case. 

“I got nothing to say,” Coleman said when 

reached by telephone last week. 

The case began Thursday, July 31 when 

Coleman contacted the state Executive Office 

of Health and Human Services and said he 

had touched his granddaughter, according to 

a police report filed by Beaudry. After the 

agency forwarded the report to police, 

Beaudry called Coleman into police headquarters 

two days later, where he allegedly 

confessed to the crime and acknowledged he 

needed help for his “urges,” but did not want 

to “lose” either his granddaughter or her 

mother, his daughter, who lives in 

Southbridge. Attempts to reach Coleman’s 

daughter were unsuccessful last week. 

“Mr. Coleman indicated both verbally and 

in a voluntary written statement that he had 

touched his … granddaughter … inappropriately 

a few times in the last two to four 

months,” Beaudry wrote. “He indicated that 

he had touched her vagina while she was

AROUND THE REGION 

Methadone clinic stirs up debate 

OPPONENTS RALLY TROOPS FOR PROTEST 

File photo 

Activist Monique Manna hands out copies of information on methadone to Town Council members at last 

week’s meeting. 

BY GUS STEEVES 

STAFF WRITER 

Drug addictions too often destroy families. 

No one debates that — what’s usually at 

issue is what to do about the problem. 

Local activist Monique Manna argues the 

current system of drug treatment essentially 

just replaces one addiction with another. 

“They say they’re trying to help you break 

the habit, but they don’t wean you off it,” she 

said. 

She’s referring to the use of methadone to 

combat heroin addiction, the centerpiece of a 

brewing conflict over the pending opening of 

a new treatment clinic in Southbridge. Since 

news of the clinic’s arrival surfaced, Manna 

has been one of its leading opponents, promoting 

a petition against it, organizing a protest 

for this Friday and working on a public informational 

session for Dec. 9. 

She said she knows stopping the clinic is 

very unlikely; she mostly hopes to push the 

clinic to either provide counseling on its own 

site (in the Caprera Building) or move entirely 

to the G.B. Wells Center, where counseling 

already exists. She said she hopes the town 

attorneys will change their recent opinion 

that the Caprera site doesn’t constitute a “new 

use” under the zoning code. 

For Manna, the stakes are very personal. 

Not only do family members work with 

addicts daily, one was killed by addiction to 

prescription drugs — even after going through 

a methadone program. 

Methadone, an opioid analgesic (painkiller), 

is commonly prescribed for people addicted to 

illicit heroin and legal prescription drugs having 

similar qualities (such as Vicodin and 

Oxycontin). According to an online paper by 

Joycelyn Woods of the National Alliance for 

Methadone Advocates, it is what’s called an 

“opioid agonist,” meaning it fills the same biochemical 

receptors as does morphine or heroin, 

but without heroin’s tendency to spark 

swings between euphoria and craving. 

ORIGINS OF A PROGRAM 

Methadone was created in Germany during 

World War II under the name “dolophine,” but 

not tested or used to any major degree until 

the 1960s. Then, Drs. Vincent Dole and Marie 

Nyswander at Rockefeller University wanted 

“to find a medication that could be used to 

maintain addicts,” Woods wrote in a lengthy 

article at www.methadone.org. “At the start of 

their research, they theorized that addicts 

would be better if they could be prescribed a 

medication instead of purchasing unknown 

substance on the illicit market.” 

Over the subsequent years, further research 

found that methadone molecules actually create 

a weak chemical bond to blood plasma protein 

that breaks fairly easily, allowing them to 

bond again with receptors in the brain. This 

gives the drug an effect “like a time-release 

capsule,” Woods wrote, enabling addicts with 

maintenance doses to function on one dose 

daily rather than several increasing in frequency. 

The body’s ability to use methadone 

can be changed by the timing of food, pH level, 

various illnesses (especially involving the 

liver), other drugs (including some antibiotics, 

antidepressants and over-the-counter 

painkillers) and other factors, she noted. 

To Manna, that situation is still an addiction. 

“Why would you want to stay on methadone 

for 10 to 20 years?” Manna said, later adding 

that she sees methadone treatment as “a business 

trying to make money” by selling the 

drug rather than ending addicts’ addictions. 

FOCUS ON DOCTORS 

She would much rather see more effort go 

into getting addicts into doctor-supervised 

detox programs “without any help from medication,” 

she said. Although that would mean 

the addicts would go through a very unpleasant 

period of withdrawal, “heroin withdrawal 

doesn’t kill anyone,” she notes. 

According to Dr. Leonard Paulozzi, an epidemiologist 

at the Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention, data show that methadone is 

also one of the most common drugs involved 

in overdose deaths. 

In testimony before Congress on March 12, 

2008, available at www.cdc.gov, he noted there 

were 22,400 unintentional and intentional 

drug overdose deaths in 2005, the most recent 

year then available. That, he said, was a rate 

“four to five times higher than the rates during 

the ‘black tar’ heroin epidemic in the mid- 

1970s and more than twice what they were 

during the peak years of crack cocaine in the 

early 1990s.” 

“… [S]treet drugs were not behind the 

increase. The increase from 1999 to 2004 was 

driven largely by opioid analgesics with a 

smaller contribution from cocaine, and essentially 

no contribution from heroin,” Paulozzi 

reported. Among cases in which there were 

multiple drugs involved in a death, “opioid 

painkillers were still the most commonly 

found drugs, accounting for 38.2 percent of the 

first-listed drugs, with methadone by itself 

contributing to almost half of these deaths.” 

He later added that data show the “overall 

drug overdose mortality trend closely correlated 

with the rapid rise in sales of opioid 

analgesics per capita,” and similar trends 

exist in rates for substance abuse hospitalizations, 

emergency visits for overdoses and survey 

responses. 

He projected the trend would continue and 

might already be underestimated, given an 

increase in overdose-related ER visits during 

2007. 

“[S]ales of opioid analgesics rose further in 

2006, so we expect to see additional increases 

in the drug overdose mortality rate during 

2006,” Paulozzi said, advocating much tighter 

state monitoring of prescriptions, especially 

in emergency rooms, where “roughly 40 percent 

of opioids are dispensed.”

Sturbridge Candle Co. and Joyce Stocks, owner, would like 

to thank all of our customers who have so loyally supported 

us in our endeavor to produce fine soy candles. We started 

one year ago. 

After selling soy candles for over 10 years, the company 

I purchased from closed. I started looking for another 

company that had the same quality. I tested dozens of candles 

and for one reason or another, I just wasn’t completely 

satisfied. Last July, I decided that it was time that I started my 

own company. It was much more of a task than I realized; 

finding a pure soy wax that was affordable, jars, fragrance 

and wicks. Then, it was months of experimenting with the 

product to make sure that it burned well, evenly and with 

no soot. I tested lots of candles before I was able to sell 

them. All of my family and friends loved the candles. I 

actually “got it right” and started selling them in 

September of last year. 

Iam a real candle lover and converted to soy. Soy wax is 

vegetable and doesn’t smoke. Regular candles are made 

from paraffin which is an oil product, and contains 13 

carcinogens that are released into the air that you 

breathe. It is as bad as smoking in the house. It expels 

black smoke and soot that settles on the walls and creates oily 

stains. It also gets into your carpeting and furniture. Soy 

candles burn as long as any other type of candle. 

In addition to loving candles for their ambience, I really love 

the smell of them. I found some candles to have a nice 

fragrance just for the first 1/3 of the jar, because some 

companies just put the fragrance in the top pour of the 

candle and put a minimum of fragrance in the containers. I 

put the maximum fragrance in my wax before I pour. The 

scent is the same when you smell the candle for the first time 

as it is when you have burned the last drops. I started out with 

about 150 scents and now I am up to about 500. I get requests 

for certain scents and am able to make them. We have all the 

popular and “off the wall” scents that I have blended myself. 

We have aroma therapy candles and designer fragrance 

candles. I’m really having fun. 

We started out with 3 sizes and now have 5 and some 

specialty containers for the holidays. We have 5 oz. jars 

to 31 oz. We also make our own labels. Some people are 

taken with the pictures on each candle. Each scent has 

its own label with a picture reflecting what is inside. 

We sell our candles in our store and we also wholesale 

them. We have them in 6 locations presently. 

We also do lots of fund raisers. It is such an easy sell; 

who doesn’t like candles? They are great for gifts too. 

We are now making soy soap, too. We have clear 

soy, green tea, soy milk. They lather well and are 

non irritating, especially on sensitive skin. From our 

customer feedback the green tea soap has been really 

effective on acne. The green tea has antioxidants that 

really soothe the skin. I personally like the clear soy. 

The soy milk soap is a really great cleansing soap. My son is 

a mechanic and swears by it. 

Since last year, we now have a web site. 

It is www.sturbridgecandle.com. Not all of our fragrances 

are on it because I keep adding to the list. We ship all over 

the world. 

Our candles start at $4.00 and go to $20.00 for the 31 oz. 

size. Come and smell the difference.

Tantasqua stays perfect with T-Day thriller over Rams 

BY DAVID JOHNSON 

SPORTS CORRESPONDENT 

STURBRIDGE — The 

Tantasqua football team 

broke all kinds of school 

records, defeating Shepherd 

Hill, 32-27, before a huge 

Thanksgiving Day crowd. 

Tantasqua finished the season 

as SWCL-West champions 

for the first time in school history. 

The team finished the 

regular season with an 11-0 

record and is the top seed in 

the playoff tournament. This 

year marks the first time the 

team has qualified for the 

post season. 

Tantasqua quarterback 

Cory Lavallee had a huge day, 

passing for two touchdowns 

and running for two more. He 

won the Vegnone Award for 

top offensive player of the 

game. 

Shepherd Hill started off 

the scoring as Nick Bolio ran 

it in from 45 yards out to put 

the Rams up, 6-0. 

Lavallee then hit Brandon 

Forcier for a 44-yard touchdown 

pass to even the score. 

After a couple of stalled 

drives, Lavallee then hooked 

up with Joe Giroux for a 34- 

yard touchdown strike to put 

Tantasqua up 12-6. The extra 

point was no good. 

The Hill then put a long 

drive together that seemed to 

give its offense a lot of confidence. 

The Rams ended up 

scoring from seven yards out 

on a run by Brett Anctil. The 

extra point was good and 

Shepherd Hill held a 13-12 

lead. 

Lavallee then called his 

own number and ran a play 50 

yards for a touchdown as time 

expired in the first half. The 

extra point failed, but now 

Tantasqua had the lead 18-13. 

The play seemed to take the 

wind out of the Shepherd Hill 

sails as Tantasqua took the 

momentum going into halftime. 

Tantasqua started the second 

half with a drive that 

began at its own 38. Lavallee 

ran one in from four yards out 

and the extra point extended 

Tantasqua's lead to 25-13. 

The Rams did not go down 

quietly, though, scoring on 

their next possession. The 

drive was special, as the 

Ram's converted on two 

fourth down plays. Bolio ran 

in a touchdown from 11 yards 

out to move Shepherd Hill to 

within five points. The kick 

made the score 25-20 in favor 

of Tantasqua. 

The Rams’ defense then 

rose to the occasion by stopping 

Tantasqua on its next 

possession. But a huge fumble 

recovery by Tantasqua's 

Timmy Poisant stopped any 

momentum that Shepherd 

Hill had gained. Tantasqua 

took the ball over on the Hill 

26 and scored six plays later 

as Colby Bilodeau rambled in 

from four yards out. The 

extra point made it 32-20, 

Tantasqua, with eight minutes 

left in the game. 

Tantasqua then had to punt 

with 6:15 left in the game. The 

Rams wasted little time when 

they got the ball back. They 

scored on a three-yard touchdown 

run by Bret Anctil with 

4:30 left. The extra point was 

good, making the score 32-27. 

The Tantasqua offense was 

able to get a couple of first 

downs and take some valuable 

time off the clock, but on 

a fourth down the Hill defense 

was able to get a stop and take 

over on downs. With 1: 42 left, 

the Shepherd Hill offense was 

on the move. The Rams were 

able to get two first downs 

before committing the biggest 

turnover of the game — with 

a minute left, Tantasqua's 

Nate Cooley recovered a fumble. 

Tantasqua was able to 

run out the clock and preserve 

the win. 

After the game, Tantasqua 

coach Aaron Powell said, “We 

played a sloppy first half and 

missed out on some opportunities. 

The second half we 

were able to make some 

plays.” 

Lavallee said the Tantasqua 

team came together in the 

biggest game of the year — so 

far. 

“We started the season 

thinking one game at a time 

and after a couple of weeks 

we started to gain momentum 

and we never looked back,” 

he said. 

Timmy Poisant, who had 

two fumble recoveries and a 

bunch of tackles, called the 

second half field conditions 

“awful.” 

“Were the best defense in 

the league but it was certainly 

a dog fight out there today,” 

he said. “We just stuck together 

and were able to make the 

plays when we had to.” 

Tantasqua's undefeated 

dream season continued, as it 

faced Millbury on Tuesday in 

the first round of the playoffs. 

Shepherd Hill finished the 

season at 8-3. 

Shepherd Hill’s Nick Bolio tries to make his way around the Warriors. 

Tantasqua’s Corey Lavallee looks to make a pass. 


Lavallee scrambles for yards. 

Tantasqua’s Brandon Forcier makes his way to the end zone to help

Black Friday shoppers feel pinch 

BY TERESA A. FRANCO 

AND CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY 

STAFF WRITERS 

On Friday, Nov. 28, the day 

after Thanksgiving, also 

known as Black Friday, area 

retailers had their hands full 

with shoppers braving the 

cold — and each other — in 

search of the most cost effective 

Christmas presents. 

Black Friday is typically 

thought of as the busiest 

shopping day of the year but, 

according to some shoppers, 

the cash wasn’t flowing as 

easily out of their pockets as 

in past years. Many said they 

are planning to concentrate 

on spending time with family 

for the holidays rather than 

spending money. 

At Wal-Mart at the Center 

at Hobbs Brook in 

Sturbridge, though still 

milling with people, crowds 

had dissipated by midday 

from the throng of shoppers 

that arrived for the store’s 

opening at 5 a.m. 

Wal-Mart representatives 

declined to comment on the 

size of the crowds or provide 

any information on the 

morning’s sales. 

John and Melody Spence of 

North Brookfield were at 

their second Wal-Mart of the 

day on Friday afternoon. 

John said the couple tried 

to take advantage of the early 

morning sales at the Wal- 

Mart on Route 9 in Leicester. 

“We were a little late,” he 

said, saying that lines in 

Leicester extended around 

the building. 

Feeling the same pocketbook 

pinch as many shoppers, 

the Spences are cutting 

down on spending this holiday 

season. 

“We’re combining with our 

parents for our kids,” Melody 

said, explaining that with 

only one major gift on their 

son’s Christmas list, the couple 

will be teaming up with 

both sets of grandparents to 

realize that gift. 

An elderly Brookfield resident 

who wished to remain 

anonymous said that a fixed 

income has drastically hindered 

her and her husband’s 

ability to buy Christmas presents. 

“I’m not holiday shopping,” 

she said. “We’re on 

Social Security and we can’t 

afford it this year.” 

Although she said her son 

and daughter took advantage 

of the early Black Friday 

sales, she did not. 

“We’re going to buy very 

small presents,” she said, 

indicating that despite the 

lack of funds, she is among 

many people attempting to 

make the best Christmas she 

can with what she has. 

Though it wasn’t hard to 

locate an available parking 

spot at the Auburn Mall on 

Friday it, too, was busy with 

shoppers searching for sales. 

Diane Roney of Grafton 

said she plans being more 

selective about the gifts she 

buys this year. 

“I’m going to be spending 

money on bigger items, 

rather than getting four or 

five gifts for each person,” 

she said while taking a break 

from shopping on Black 

Friday at the Auburn Mall. 

“And I’m taking more time [to 

buy them] and looking for 

sales.” 

Roney added that she has 

been searching for coupons 

more frequently and doing a 

lot of online shopping to 

avoid spending money on gas 

to drive from place to place. 

She also mentioned that the 

crowd on Black Friday didn’t 

seem as large as it has in past 

years, but that it was the 

busiest she had seen the 

Auburn Mall in months. 

“It’s been pretty quiet [at 

the mall] year. So, today it’s 

good to see more people 

around and the parking lot 

full,” she said. 

Like Roney, Sheryl 

Barnado of Dudley said this 

was the first year she had 

Black Friday off and expected 

the mall to be more crowded. 

Like Roney, she said she 

has been scoping out sales 

more this year and doing 

much of her shopping via the 

Internet. She said her gift 

spending is going to be spent 

strictly on family and the 

gifts won’t be as extravagant 

as they have been before –– 

except for her grandchildren. 

“I’m still going to spoil my 

grandchildren,” she said. 

“We’re hitting upon hard 

times, but I don’t want my 

grandchildren to know.” 

There are some shoppers 

who say they are finding it 

hard to even buy smaller 

gifts. 

“I [can’t] even afford to 

make homemade gifts,” 

Gidge Martin of Woodstock, 

Conn. said. “I just started 

working again this year, so I 

don’t have the time.” 

Retailers within the mall 

were more optimistic about 

their businesses than the 

shoppers. 

“We have had a good morning 

so far,” Macy’s Sales 

Associate Sharon Couteau 

said, while grabbing a bite to 

eat in the food court. 

She added that in her three 

years of working at Macy’s, 

sales have not been wavering 

too much. She said she thinks 

her store’s success is due to 

all the low prices and sales 

they offer around this time of 

year. She also said she is 

spending pretty much the 

same she has every year. 

Linda Wasiak of 

Southbridge, a sales associate 

for the “Personalized by 

Santa” cart in the Auburn 

Mall that sells ornaments, 

said she doesn’t think the 

crowd is thinner than last 

years adding last there seems 

to be more of a crowd than 

last year. She said she refuses 

to let the economy interfere 

with her holiday spending 

and still plans to “go all out” 

on gifts this year. 

“It’s just a festive time of 

year and I love giving,” she 

said. “You can’t take my 

Christmas away from me.”

BUSINESS 

Outcomes of a mortgage sale 

The practice of selling and reselling and, even, 

re-reselling mortgages occupies a central place 

in the origins of the current global credit crisis. 

What actually happens when your mortgage is 

sold? And, in a related fashion, how did those 

purchases and sales ignite the credit crisis? 

The process begins when the lender decides 

not to retain ownership of the mortgage, which 

is an asset with an economic 

(not sentimental) value. At 

that point, the lender makes 

a second decision: whether to 

release or retain the servicing 

of the mortgage. 

Servicing involves receiving 

your mortgage payments; 

isolating a portion of the payments, 

in escrow, for the 

timely payment of your 

taxes; tracking any prepayments 

and late payments; 

answering any inquiries you may have, and documenting 

all of those activities. 

When a lender decides to release servicing, 

the various steps involved in handling the mortgage 

payments are taken over by another organization. 

At that point the lender is out of the picture. 

At least 15 days before that happens, you 

should receive a so-called good-bye letter from 

your lender as well as a hello letter from the new 

servicer. Such letters should reach you every 

time the servicing responsibility is transferred. 

Beware if you receive only a hello letter. It could 

be a scam aimed at grabbing your payments. 

If you do receive both good-bye and hello letters, 

take care that your subsequent payments 

are sent to the new address. Federal law allows 

for any payments sent to the wrong address in 

the 60 days after the transfer to be counted as 

timely, not late. 

Carefully keep complete records. Do that in 

any event, even if your mortgage isn’t sold. 

When it is sold, double check that your property 

taxes and any mortgage insurance premiums 

are being paid in full and on time. 

If you’re having problems with your servicing 

company, send them a letter and, in that letter, 

state that your correspondence is a “qualified 

written request under Section 6 of the Real 

Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA).” 

Send that letter separately from your payment, 

using Certified U.S. Mail, Return Receipt 

Requested. You can find a sample letter, provided 

by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban 

Development, 

at 

http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/res/reslettr.cfm. 

Your obligation to make all of your mortgage 

payments in full and on time remains, because 

your original loan agreement remains in effect, 

regardless whether your mortgage, with or without 

servicing responsibilities, has been sold. 

One important aspect of the current credit crisis 

involves the reconfiguration of batches of 

mortgages and their repeated resale, which 

resulted in down-the-line purchasers knowing 

little or nothing about what 

they had purchased. Indeed, 

FINANCE 

SENSE 

THOMAS J. 

SMALARZ 

the entire arrangement 

depended on both the belief 

and the actuality that millions 

of mortgage payments would 

continue being made. Those 

batched mortgages were 

bought and sold around the 

world. 

Many of the mortgages were 

issued to householders with little 

or no capability to maintain 

their payment obligation. Then, when the interest 

rate went up on a very large proportion of 

those mortgages, many of which were issued as 

adjustable rate loans, the householders couldn’t 

make the payments. The flow of revenue dried 

up, making the batched mortgages, which had 

been securitized as investment instruments, 

worth little or literally nothing. 

In turn, without revenue, the holders of the 

securities couldn’t pay their bills or obtain 

loans. Next, that meant that the parties expecting 

to get paid down the line didn’t get paid. 

Without the ability to repay a loan, the holders of 

the securities could not obtain credit. Overnight, 

credit froze around the world. 

The entire system rested on the false belief 

that residential property values would go up and 

up and up. The main purpose of home ownership 

had transformed from a place to dwell into 

an investment that, nonstop, was expected to 

produce quite nice yields. 

The presumption that homes would everlastingly 

increase in marketplace value, coupled 

with easy access to credit, promoted a spending 

mentality. 

It may eventually prove true that the best way 

to prevent a recurrence of the current crisis lies 

in resuming the out-of-date practice of saving 

first, and spending what’s left. Actually, until the 

early years after World War II, that habit of 

thrift prevailed in America. 

Next week’s column will suggest several simple, 

easy, day-to-day ways to save. Yes, little steps 

taken consistently can, over time, produce big 

savings.

Southbridge Credit Union.

‘Stilburnin’ the best southern rock; Songwriter Sessions returns 

Several musicians from 

Massachusetts, who shared a love 

for Southern rock, originally 

formed Stilburnin in 2002. 

Since then, the band has evolved into 

one of the best Southern rock bands in 

New England. 

A Southern Rock "tribute" band with a 

great song list, its influences include 

such artists as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little 

Feat and Stevie Ray Vaughn. The members 

originally hail from Massachusetts, 

Texas and Florida. They include Steve 

Gunnard on lead vocals/guitar, Tom 

Liberatore on lead and slide guitar, and 

Rodger Jordan on keyboards. Completing 

the rhythm section are Dennis Douglas 

on bass and Rick Trebino on drums. 

With great chemistry for having fun 

together and performing “good time 

music,” don't miss Stilburnin this Friday, 

Dec. 5 at Cannery Hall, 12 Crane Street, 

Southbridge. 

Songwriter Sessions is a monthly 

music series dedicated to the craft of 

songwriting and showing how diverse 

the songwriting process is. 

Three different local and regional songwriters 

will perform “in-the-round” 

every second Thursday of the month, 

from 7-9 p.m., with the series' host, Lisa 

Martin. The hosting venue is The Vanilla 

Bean, renowned for featuring live music 

from local, regional and 

nationally touring 

artists. Interested songwriters 

may submit 

online through Sonic 

Bids or by contact via 

myspace.com/songwritersessions. 

All genres 

are accepted; however, 

as the series is acoustic 

in nature, interested parties must be able 

to perform in that manner and are limited 

to solo or duo configurations due to 

space constraints. A family environment, 

music containing profanity is not acceptable.

white lights. Stroll around the 

common and take in the sights, 

sounds and smells of the season. 

Wave hello to Father Christmas as he 

strolls around town, warm up near 

the vender roasting chestnuts 

on an open fire, and listen to 

the bells ringing on the horses 

as they pull a wagon full of revelers. 

The wagon will provide free rides 

around the common from 2-5 p.m.

include the lighting of 2,000 white 

lights hung on the Town Common’s

Moore, Corbin receive award for veterans’ show 

NORTHEAST ALLIANCE FOR COMMUNITY MEDIA HONORS HOSTS 

BY ALANA MELANSON 

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER 

LEICESTER — Bill Moore and Larry 

Corbin of Leicester Cable Access 

Corporation’s “Route 9 Veterans Forum” 

have received the 2008 Rika Welsh 

Community Impact Award from the 

Northeast Alliance for Community Media. 

Dan Kenney, chairman of the Board of 

Directors for Leicester Cable Access 

Corporation (LCAC), presented the award 

plaque to Moore and Corbin at the Leicester 

Board of Selectmen meeting on Monday, Dec. 

1. 

The award, named after the founder of the 

Northeast Alliance for Community Media, is 

given once a year to a nominated individual 

or group from Massachusetts, Connecticut, 

Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, 

Vermont or New York that has created a 

media project through PEG (Public, 

Educational and Governmental) access 

resources that reflects the passion of its goal, 

creates greater empowerment of its purpose 

and appreciation of the value of those 

resources. 

“Route 9 Veterans Forum” began in June 

2007 in Leicester after Moore, a resident of 

Cherry Valley and peacetime Air Force veteran, 

retired from his position as the 

Commonwealth’s Disabled Veterans 

Employment representative. Through his 

interactions with other veterans and their 

families, he learned many of them were not 

aware of the benefits and programs available 

to veterans and their widows. He decided he 

should produce and host a one-hour show in 

which he would discuss issues pertaining to 

veterans and invite representatives from veteran 

and military organizations to make 

their programs known. 

“There are so many benefits out there, but 

the veterans just don’t know where to go for 

them,” Moore said, listing assistance with 

food, medication and fuel as merely a few of 

the available services. 

Moore later collaborated with Corbin, an 

Air Force veteran who served in the Vietnam 

War and Operation Desert Storm and is 

director of Veterans Services in Auburn, and 

the show took off. 

“Anyone can file a claim at any time, 

regardless of what war you served in,” 

Corbin said. “Just talk to your veterans agent 

and ask the question. We have a passion for 

what we do. I really love working for the veterans.” 

Moore and Corbin create a new episode 

once a month, alternating videotaping at the 

Leicester and Auburn Town Halls. It airs in 

BOSTON — As temperatures race downward, 

the need for affordable heating fuel is 

quickly going up. State Sen. Stephen M. 

Brewer (D-Barre) is pleased to announce that 

the Worcester Community Action Council 

(WCAC) is increasing efforts to get benefits to 

eligible residents in need of assistance. 

“In these difficult financial times, it is 

important to have somewhere you can turn for 

help. Staying warm in these cold New England 

winter months is important for remaining 

both safe and healthy,” said Brewer. “The 

Worcester Community Action Council provides 

access to many programs that make heating 

costs easier to manage.” 

WCAC has fuel and energy programs to 

assist both income-eligible renters and homeowners 

with heating and utility bills, arrear- 

82 cities and towns in Massachusetts and 

Connecticut, as well as being broadcast for 

troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Kosovo 

and on the naval fleet in the Persian Gulf. 

Brad Sweet of Boxford Cable Access 

Television is responsible for uploading every 

episode to Blip.tv and re-broadcasting the 

show via podcasts. 

“To be nominated by another veteran says 

a lot,” Moore said, but he did not reveal who 

nominated the show. 

Moore and Corbin officially received the 

award at the 11th Annual Alliance for 

Community Media Northeast Fall Video 

Festival, held Nov. 15 at the Days Inn and 

Conference Center in Methuen. 

“We’re proud that our town is where it 

started,” Kenney said. “What they contribute 

and bring to light are the positive aspects of 

veterans and the service they provide to our 

country. People want to hear good news about 

veterans.” 

“As town representatives, we are all very 

proud of the work they’ve done and the great 

opportunity LCAC has given them,” said 

Selectmen Chairman Douglas Belanger of 

Moore and Corbin on behalf of the board. 

“Their show inspires people to not only help 

veterans, but also to consider other issues 

that need to be put forward and get some airtime.” 

For more information on the “Route 9 

Veterans Forum,” contact LCAC at (508) 892- 

8757.

meeting Monday, Dec. 1 to announce Corbin and Moore as recipients of the 2008 Rika Welsh Community Impact Award.

WCAC offering fuel assistance resources 

age (for clients that have past due balances on 

utility bills), emergency repair or replacement 

of heating systems and weatherization to help 

homes retain heat. These offerings come 

through federally-funded programs like the 

Low Income Home Energy Assistance 

Program (LIHEAP), which was recently 

increased to $5.1 billion from last year’s $3 billion, 

and the Weatherization Assistance 

Program (WAP). For Massachusetts, the 

LIHEAP increase translates to an estimated 

boost from last year’s $141 million to about 

$175.5 million this year. The total client benefits 

from WCAC programs and the more than 

22 towns they represent (including Spencer, 

Leicester, the Brookfields and Warren) came to 

$8.6 million for fiscal 2008. 

WCAC Executive Director Jill C. Dagilis 

said, “Because of the uncertain economy, we 

are prepared for a third record-breaking year 

of people applying for and in need of assistance. 

In an effort to handle the surge of applicants, 

WCAC’s LIHEAP application process 

began this summer.” 

LIHEAP payments for fuel begin Nov. 1. 

People are encouraged to call for an appointment 

prior to stopping in at WCAC at 484 Main 

St. in Worcester. 

“The agency is fielding an average of 1,300 

telephone calls a day Monday through Friday,” 

added Dagilis. 

Eligibility information is available on the 

WCAC Web site at www.wcac.net. Click on 

“Programs,” and then click on “Fuel 

Assistance.” To reach the WCAC staff by telephone, 

call (508) 754-1176 and press 1 for fuel 

information, 2 for fuel staff, 3 for energy and 

weatherization, and 4 for arrearage. If staff do 

not pick up the phone, please leave a message 

and a person will return your call. 

WCAC also has four outreach locations at 

the Webster Senior Center, Spencer Memorial 

Town Hall, the Warren Senior Center and 

Southbridge Head Start, but clients may also 

contact their local senior centers. 

Weatherization/Energy assistance is based 

per household on a scale of zero through nine, 

with a higher score and increased likelihood 

for benefits for factors such as number of elderly 

residents, number of children under 5 

years of age, high fuel consumption and 

whether residents are handicapped, among 

other criteria.

‘Christmas Lessons and Carols’ in Sturbridge

Anne’s Music Director Peter Morin, adding, 

“Lessons and Carols is a great tradition of

of families, in a non-commercial way, 

as they prepare for Christmas.” 

The concert, presented as part of the 

Rimscha Concert Series, will be held in the 

Joachim Chapel (Parish Center building) at St. 

Anne’s, on the hill at 13 Church St. in the

Aut motive 

’09 VW Tiguan a Couple Years Late, 

But It’s Still an Appealing Compact SUV 

BY KEITH GRIFFIN 

After a week with the 2009 

Volkswagen Tiguan, I’m left wondering, 

“What’s the point?” Does 

the world really need another 

crossover utility vehicle like the 

Tiguan (which is called a compact 

sport utility vehicle by VW)? 

Apparently, Germans think so 

because it’s become a top seller 

among off-road vehicles in VW’s 

home country since its introduction 

six months ago. That perplexes 

me, though, because the 

Tiguan features all-wheel drive, 

an $1850 option. All-wheel drive is 

really only suitable for light offroad 

duty. Maybe Germans are 

like Americans and buys vehicles 

for off-road use – and then never 

take them offroad. 

It’s a likeable enough vehicle 

with lots of space for five and 

their assorted belongings. Fuel 

economy is OK and it drives well. 

The problem, though, is I think 

only VW owners who might want 

a compact sport utility vehicle 

will buy the Tiguan. I can’t envision 

it capturing buyers from 

other brands when such tough 

competition exists in this segment. 

The Tiguan is powered by a 2.0- 

liter, four cylinder turbo engine. 

The turbo helps improve fuel 

economy and also assists in 

power boosts when needed. VW 

says its 0-60 time is 7.9 seconds 

and that’s perfectly respectable. 

Most of us truly need vehicles 

capable of less than 10 seconds in 

0-60 times. 

Tiguan is unique in the category 

by offering a choice of either sixspeed 

automatic or six-speed 

manual transmission options. 

The model I drove had the automatic 

transmission (an $1100 

option) but I think I would have 

felt more connected to the Tiguan 

with the six-speed manual. 

Like all Volkswagens, Tiguan 

includes the “Prevent and 

Preserve Safety System,” consisting 

of 45 safety features. As standard 

equipment, Tiguan includes 

six airbags, with rear side 

airbags available as an option. 

All 2009 model year Volkswagens 

feature standard Electronic 

Stabilization Program (ESP) for 

added safety. Volkswagen’s ESP 

technology works in conjunction 

with anti-lock brakes and helps 

reduce loss of control and 

rollovers to avoid crashes. 

NHTSA predicts that nearly 

10,000 lives could be saved each 

year if automakers included stability 

systems as standard equipment. 

It’s going to be required in 

all new cars in 2012. Shun any 

dealer who tries to sell it as an 

expensive option right now. 

The Tiguan has an available 

panoramic sunroof “enabling 

almost 13 square feet of 

sunshine” as VW puts it. 

Sunroofs have absolutely no 

appeal to me, especially when 

they’re a $1300 option. Plus, I’m 

still skeptical about the repair 

costs for panoramic roofs after a 

rollover or collision. 

One aspect of the Tiguan that 

The inside of the VW Tiguan has an upscale finish to it. Volkswagen continues to do outstanding work 

with its interiors. 

Photos © Volkswagen 

The 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan is VW’s entry into the compact sport utility vehicle market, but go ahead and call it a crossover utility vehicle. 

increases its functionality is its 

flexible seating. The rear seats, 

which recline, can move forward 

or backwards six inches. You get 

either additional leg room or 

cargo room. It comes in handy, 

especially when you want to 

move the second row back just 

enough so your three-year old 

can’t kick the driver’s seat. 

Visibility is extremely good in 

the Tiguan. My vision didn’t feel 

obstructed by the B or C pillars as 

can be the case with some other 

CUVs. I found it easy to park in a 

variety of circumstances and it 

seems to have a much tighter 

turning ability than its 39.4 turning 

radius would suggest. 

VW says the Tiguan maintains 

“responsible fuel efficiency” of 18 

mpg city and 25 mpg highway. 

The all-wheel drive version gets 

18 city and 24 highway. Real-life 

experience in almost exclusive 

around-town driving was 15 mpg, 

but that was under maximum air 

conditioning during a heat spell. 

The numbers are about right for 

an SUV weighing 3,433 lbs. 

What’s wrong is the turbo engine 

requires premium fuel. That puts 

the Tiguan at a disadvantage over 

its competitors. It has an annual 

fuel cost of $3255 while the similar 

Nissan Rogue, which gets 21 

city and 26 highway, has an annual 

fuel cost of $2682. Annual fuel 

costs are provided by the EPA. 

Tiguan is available in three trim 

levels, S, SE, and SEL. It is base 

priced at 

$23,200. VW loaned me the top of 

the line model, the SEL 4xMotion, 

which jumps the price up 42 percent 

to $32,940. I’m not going to 

argue against the four-wheel 

drive for those who feel they need 

it (99 percent of people don’t), but 

you can save a lot of money by 

foregoing the sunroof ($1300) and 

the DVD satellite navigation system 

($1950). Bells and whistles 

are fun but at what cost?

Most Fuel Efficient Sedan 

Not for the Tall of Stature – Backseat 

Passengers Benefit, Though 

BY KEITH GRIFFIN 

Comedienne Kathy Griffin (no 

relation that I know of) has a 

show on Bravo called, “My Life 

on the D-List.” It refers to her 

celebrity status in Hollywood. 

Well, the automotive journalism 

world has a similar pecking 

order. I hope someday to claw my 

way up from D-list to maybe, C- 

list, but in the meantime, I’m just 

happy to be on any list. 

So, why all this talk about lists? I 

just spent a week with the 2009 

Toyota Prius. It dawned on me 

when it arrived that this car had 

been out for seven years and I had 

never reviewed it. It seems like 

every celebrity on earth with an 

ecological bent owns this car and 

here I am seven years behind the 

curve. Hmm, maybe I am never 

going to get off this automotive 

D-list. 

It’s pegged as a midsize sedan 

based on its size, but I’m amazed 

by how little room it has for my 

6’2” frame. (I never criticize a car 

for not accommodating my bulk, 

but I’m surprised when it won’t 

accommodate my height.) I felt 

cramped my entire week behind 

the wheel. I guess that’s the price 

one has to pay for fuel efficiency. 

My only taste of the Prius had 

been a ride in the backseat and I 

was impressed by its roominess. 

(It has more backseat space than 

a Ford Crown Victoria, according 

to Edmunds.com, which only 

reinforces my belief that police 

departments should drive 

Priuses.) Maybe the 2010 model 

being introduced in Detroit in 

January will change the dimensions. 

According to Toyota, the Prius is 

the best-selling gas-electric 

hybrid vehicle in the United 

States and the world. Prius also 

outsells some conventional midsize 

cars. As other carmakers 

begin to introduce hybrid vehicles, 

the Toyota Prius is in its second 

generation and 11th year of 

production. More than one million 

have been sold worldwide, 

making Toyota the world leader 

in hybrid sales and technology. 

By now everybody is familiar 

with the Prius for its hybrid technology. 

Basically, it can run on 

pure battery power up to 25 mph. 

It is the most fuel-efficient vehicle 

on the U.S. market with EPA 

ratings of 48-mpg city and 45-mpg 

highway from its 1.5-liter engine 

with its continuously variable 

transmission. 

By the way, want to see a mindblowing 

number? The annual fuel 

cost for the Prius is $674 (based 

on gas at $2.07 a gallon and some 

other criteria). Here’s a bit of 

trivia: what’s the least fuel-efficient 

sedan sold in the U.S.? It’s 

The transmission shifter of the Prius feels flimsy and can be confusing to shift. 

The 2009 Toyota Prius is the last year of the second generation before a new 2010 model is introduced in January. 

the Bentley Arnage? It gets 10 

mpg city and 14 mpg highway. It 

runs on premium fuel (the Prius 

runs on regular) and its annual 

fuel cost is $3191. 

The current Prius was the first 

Toyota product to employ hybrid 

synergy drive, the company’s 

third-generation gas-electric 

hybrid powertrain technology. 

Hybrid synergy drive is defined 

as a “full hybrid” system, which 

means it is capable of operating 

in gas or electric modes, as well 

as a mode that combines the 

power of the gas engine and electric 

motor, according to Toyota. 

However, there is so much more 

that the Prius offers in terms of 

its technology. Prius provides a 

high level of dynamic driving 

control. The standard anti-lock 

brake system integrates brake 

assist and electronic brake-force 

distribution. Brake assist can 

help apply maximum braking 

pressure during an emergency 

stop. Vehicle stability control is 

available as an option, which 

drives me nuts. A vehicle this 

green should embrace every safety 

option it can as standard 

equipment. 

One aspect of the Prius that 

drives me nuts is its transmission 

shifter. It feels flimsy. Plus, it 

beeps when placed in reverse. I 

hate having to push a button to 

place a vehicle in park. It’s all 

counterintuitive and I find that 

disconcerting in vehicles. A few 

moments of inattentiveness can 

easily lead to mishaps. 

Absent that, the Prius is a pleasant 

enough vehicle to drive. Its 

energy monitor, prominently displayed 

in the center stack, is an 

ongoing challenge to keep your 

fuel economy numbers up. 

Visibility is good because of the 

Prius’ open design. 

The Prius is a competitively 

priced vehicle. Its base price is 

$22,000 and the top of the line 

model, that Toyota loaned to me 

for a week, is $24,270.
