Holland officials accept chief’s resignation
NO CHARGES YET SEEN FOR GLEASON
James Wettlaufer
BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
HOLLAND — No charges
have yet been filed against former
Police Chief Kevin P.
Gleason in the wake of his sudden
resignation from the job.
His official resignation was
received by selectmen Monday
May 4.
Gleason could not be reached
for comment last week, but,
according to Chairman of the
Board of Selectmen James
Wettlaufer, Gleason cited health
issues as his reason for leaving.
Wettlaufer declined to comment
on the nature of Gleason’s
health concern, but did say the
former chief has been hospitalized.
According to Wettlaufer,
Gleason’s resignation took
effect as soon as it was received.
“He’s all done, it was effective
immediately,” said Wettlaufer,
who personally contacted the
State Police to inquire about
what to do in the absence of a
chief.
“This was learning on the fly
for me,” Wettlaufer said.
What came of the phone call
was an inventory of the evidence
locker of the Holland
Police Department, conducted
by one lieutenant from the
Sturbridge State Police barracks
and another from the
Hampden County District
Attorney’s Detective Unit.

Laughing gas no
laughing matter
STURBRIDGE
POLICE SEE
TREND IN
ARRESTS
BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
STURBRIDGE — In the last
month, the Sturbridge Police
Department has made several
seizures of a substance, not necessarily
illegal to possess.
Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas,
is used as a medical anesthetic for
dental and light surgical procedures.
Since the beginning of
April however, four tanks of the
gas have been seized in Sturbridge
from people using and distributing
it as an inhalant.
“It’s not an unlawful substance,
but it’s a substance of abuse,” said
Sturbridge Lt. Alan Curboy.
“They’ll fill up balloons to whatever
size and they’ll sell it.”
Nitrous oxide falls into a rather
gray area of semi-controlled substances
that are not illegal if used
for their intended purposes, such
as spray paint and some adhesives,
but become illegal when
abused by intentional inhaling.
“It’s illegal to have them for nonapproved
uses,” said Officer Carol
Benoit. Benoit was first to respond
to an incident on Friday, April 3 at
the Green Acres Motel where,
among other drug and weapon
paraphernalia, a tank of nitrous
oxide was seized.
According to Curboy, the two
incidents resulting in apprehension
of the four tanks both
occurred at motels. Benoit said
Sturbridge Court Officer Dan Menzone
stands outside the department’s evidence
locker with the four tanks of
nitrous oxide that were seized in the
last month.
Sturbridge’s location may play a
role in its transient population’s
drug use.
“Always, events in other locations
can affect us because we’re
the crossroads,” Benoit said.
Overuse of the gas, which is
known as a popular party drug,
can have a myriad of negative
effects on the body.
In addition to accidental
asphyxiation, Curboy said, “You
could freeze your lungs or your
throat.”

Ribbons support Lyme research
BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
STURBRIDGE — Motorists and
passersby may have noticed the
trees on the Sturbridge Town
Common dressed up recently, with
vibrant, lime green ribbons.
The ribbons are part of one local
woman’s effort to make people
aware of the dangers of Lyme disease,
and encourage the passage of
U.S. Congress bill HR 1179, the Lyme
and Tick-Borne Disease Prevention,
Education, and Research Act of
2009.
If the bill goes through, it will
establish a Tick-Borne Diseases
Advisory Committee and broaden
federal efforts in treatment, education
and prevention of Lyme and
other diseases.
The local campaign of Ribbons
Across America was initiated by
Sturbridge resident Patricia A.
McCleary.
McCleary, who has lived with
Lyme disease for more than 13
years, was originally misdiagnosed,
resulting in temporary paralysis.
Since having her diagnosis straightened
out and enduring several
rounds of antibiotic treatments,
McCleary has turned her efforts to
educating people on the severity of
a big-time disease that comes from a

tiny source.
Having recently been forced to
suspend treatment, McCleary
explained that due to insurance regulations,
many “Lyme literate” doctors
are coming under fire for continuing
the antibiotic treatment
past the four-week time period
allowed by most carriers.
“My Dr. just got pinched,”
McCleary said, which has led to the
halt in her treatment. “Now I’m paralyzed
on my left side,” she said.
McCleary and a number of other
Lyme advocates met on Monday,
May 4, to discuss a strategy for moving
forward with Lyme disease
awareness, prevention, and treatment,
which she said, would truly
begin with a change in the law.

Flea market bugged by fee bill
BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
BRIMFIELD — The first of three
annual sessions of the Brimfield
Flea Market and Antique Show
starts today, while law makers in
Boston discuss possible changes to
the permitting process for this and
other similar events throughout the
state.
Brimfield Selectman Diane
Panaccione said Monday, May 11
that town officials are anxiously
awaiting the outcome of today’s
hearing regarding House Bill 112,

something the town has been working
closely with State Rep. Todd
Smola, R-Palmer.
“It’s complicated and cumbersome,”
Smola of the bill yesterday.
The goal of Bill 112 is to address an
antiquated legal requirement placed
on vendors at such events. Smola
explained that as the law currently
reads, vendors at events such as the
Brimfield Flea Market and Antique
Show, are required to obtain a
Transient Vendors’ Permit from the
state for fee of $100 and $500 bond.
“It’s been on the books, but they
essentially haven’t applied it,” Smola
said of the State Division of
Standards. The issue was brought
into the light recently due to an
inquiry made to the Division of
Standards looking into vendor licensure.
The decision of state officials
whether or not to enforce the law
puts vendors in a precarious position.

Area residents in two towns are
hoping new efforts to construct
community gardens will bear fruit
as well as vegetables to harvest.
Plans are afoot in Southbridge
and Webster to construct community
gardens to provide food to residents
free or for a small fee.
Everything from providing cheaper
food to fostering a more tightknit
community are the reasons
behind the ideas, according to officials
involved in the plans.
If all goes well, the Orthodox
Christian Church in Southbridge
could be the site of one of these
new gardens, according to its pastor,
Father Peter-Michael Preble.
He is planning to build a garden
on the land behind the church on
Romanian Avenue. While the plans
are preliminary, Rev. Preble hopes
to have the site running by the
summer. It would be open to the
public, not just parishioners, he
said.
Preble said the economic downturn
in part spurred his idea, but

Chief Thomas Ford, Sgt. Kevin Mercier and Officer Joseph Lombardi met with students at Tantasqua Regional
High School on Wednesday, collecting signatures as part of a Seatbelt Pledge drive. Students who signed the
pledge promised to wear their seatbelt while traveling to and from the Junior/senior prom Friday, May 8.
STURBRIDGE — As the end of the school
year approaches, students of all ages are anticipating
summer. At the Sturbridge Police
Department however, officers do not necessarily
see summer as a time of frivolity, but as an
opportunity to step up their commitment to
the public safety of area residents.
“In general, this is an exciting time of the
year for that age group,” said Officer Joseph
Lombardi of teenage students shortly before
leaving for Tantasqua Regional High School’s
Junior/Senior prom in East Windsor, Conn,.
Friday, May 8.
Following the prom, the biggest event many
high school aged students have to look forward
to is graduation, which is just weeks away.
With the excitement comes celebration —
and, with celebration, comes risk.
Lombardi, joined by Chief Thomas Ford and
Sgt. Kevin Mercier, met with Tantasqua students
last week as part of a Seatbelt Pledge
drive.
“We do this every year prom week,” Mercier
said following his trip to the high school.
“Kids are great about it,” Mercier continued.
“We’re hoping it just puts safety belt use at the
forefront of their minds.”
Mercier explained the pledge is cosponsored
with the Police Department by Burger King,
and that each student who pledged to wear his
or her seatbelt on prom night, was treated to a
free burger.
Mercier said the national average for seatbelt
use is more than 80 percent, though the
Massachusetts average has fallen short of that,
at 67 percent.
According to the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, “Motor vehicle crashes
remain the number one cause of death among
youth ages 15-20.”
To catch the attention of those students who
did not want to interact directly with the officers,
Mercier said a slideshow played on a
screen behind the presentation, depicting the
wreckage of a number of local crashes in
which lives were saved by seatbelts.
“Kids that didn’t come up to the table couldn’t
ignore that slideshow going,” Mercier said.
To further their efforts, the Sturbridge
Police Department hosted the annual afterprom
party at Bogey Lanes in East Brookfield.
According to Lombardi, who has worked
closely with students throughout his law
enforcement career, the after party is held to
“ensure that students have a safe place to go
afterward.”
“It’s completely free to all students attending
the prom and their dates,” Lombardi said,
making sure to thank Bogey Lanes, Kahula
Restaurant for catering the party and to Ford,
who Lombardi said has been continuously supportive
of the department’s involvement in
youth oriented programs.
“We can’t do our job effectively if we’re not
involved,” Lombardi said, explaining that open
dialogue between the schools and the department
is essential to developing a good relationship.
In turn, Lombardi said, students become
more comfortable using police as a resource.
“The only way the job is going to get done is
if that open communication remains open,”
Lombardi said.
Det. Mark Saloio explained Friday that
potential alternatives to the after-prom party
could land students — and their parents — in
hot water.
“We have seen parents oversee underage
drinking parties in the house, which is completely
illegal,” Saloio said.
Besides parents allowing kids to consume
alcohol at home, Saloio said parents, or even
non-relatives procuring a hotel or motel room
for underage drinkers open themselves up to
possible civil and criminal liabilities, as well
any myriad of other charges should the party
they are responsible for result in injury or
death.
For the youths present, being charged as a
minor in possession of alcohol is something
that can linger for a long time, hindering one’s
eligibility for college financial aid or even
employment.
“Ninety five percent of the time, no one’s
going to get hurt,” Saloio said. “But five percent
of the time, the consequences are astronomical.”
“Hundreds of employers in the state have
access to your criminal history,” he added. “It
stays on your record for the rest of your life.”

www.davespestcontrol.net
Another disturbing trend, Saloio said, is the
amount of drinking that goes on in cars.
“A lot of drinking in motor vehicles is what
we see,” he said.
According to the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, in 2005, 39 percent of
all fatal crashes involved alcohol. In that same
year, 7,460 youths were killed in auto accidents.
In recent months, the police have conducted
a number of plain-clothes stings, in which an
officer monitors activity at a specific vendor to
make sure all proper procedures are being followed
when alcohol is sold.
“By and large the businesses in town are
very competent,” Saloio said.
What they find however, is a trend of older
siblings or friends legally buying alcohol, then
distributing it to youths elsewhere.
Saloio said it is not unusual for an older
teenager — 18 or 19 years old — to be friends
with someone in their early 20s, bridging the
gap between minor and legal adult, making
access to alcohol easier for youths.
Saloio said the most important and effective
way for parents to prevent such behavior is to
talk to their children.
“Parents who are more active with their kids
and are more involved with their kids,” Saloio
said, “tend to have teenagers less likely to
engage in that type of activity.”

Wales teen to volunteer in Ghana this summer
• STURBRIDGE VILLAGER 3
BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
WALES — When most teens think about
summer, what comes to mind? Work?
Vacation?
For Wales resident Abbie Gregory, this
summer is an opportunity to make the world
a slightly better place.
Gregory, a 15-year-old student at Tantasqua
Regional High School, will be traveling to the
Volta region of Ghana in western Africa as
part of Cross-Cultural Solutions.
The group is an international service
organization that has deployed approximately
4,000 volunteers to a dozen countries since
1995, working in a variety of capacities
including, education, healthcare and childcare.
Gregory said her decision to join the team
of volunteers from North America, Great
Britain and Australia was a complex one.
“There are a couple of reasons why I chose
Cross-Cultural Solutions,” Gregory said.
When first contemplating her summer
plans, Gregory said she thought about enjoying
her time with friends, saving money from
babysitting jobs and taking time to pursue
any of the variety of other interests she has,
such as musical theater. When looking at the
bigger picture, she changed her mind.
“I would like to do something with more of
an impact on the world,” Gregory said; a
mantra she has applied to her life plans as
well, now looking at career choices that will
allow her to travel and experience other cultures.
“We’re all in our little bubble … I just don’t
want to give in to apathy,” she said.
Despite very active exportation of raw
materials like timber, cocoa, manganese and
bauxite, as well as an estimated three billionbarrel
oil reserve discovered in 2007, more
than half of Ghana’s industry and three
quarters of its workforce is based on domestic
agriculture.
“They really have a rich culture, it’s just so
diverse,” Gregory said of the Ghanaians, the
first sub-Saharan people to gain independence
from the United Kingdom.
Although her specific role will not be
assigned until a couple weeks before the July

Abbie Gregory will be volunteering with Cross-
Cultural Solutions in he West African nation of
Ghana during her summer vacation.
25 trip, Gregory said, “I really want to work
with kids.”
According to Cross-Cultural Solutions,
which is very active with Volta’s orphan population,
volunteers “play sports, lead craft
projects. Provide much-needed love and
attention, and teach conversational English
to children of various ages.”
Ghana’s national language is English, but
as Gregory explained, Volta’s primary language
is the native Ewe.
Besides working with children, other positions
available through Cross-Cultural
Solutions, whether in the education or
healthcare fields, are catered to the volunteer’s
individual abilities.
“They have special placements according
to what your specific skills are and they’ll try
to work with your strengths,” Gregory said.
Her introduction to the program came a
few years ago when her cousin went through
the same two-week program.
“He’s in the Peace Corps now and he really
had a great experience, like a transition into
that,” Gregory said.
In preparation for the trip, Gregory is hosting
a number of events to spread awareness
about her mission, and to generate financial
support for the rather costly excursion.

4 STURBRIDGE VILLAGER • Friday, May 15, 2009
Memorial Day focus on N.E. farming history at OSV
BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY
VILLAGER STAFF WRITER
STURBRIDGE — To celebrate
Memorial Day weekend, Old
Sturbridge Village (OSV) will unveil
a new exhibit chronicling the evolution
of New England’s landscape, as
it was affected by changing agricultural
trends.
“This exhibit will show the
changes in agriculture and land use
practices over the last 400 years,”
explained Director of Marketing
and Communications for OSV Ann
Lindblad.
The exhibit, titled “Farms,
Families and Change: New England
farming and rural life,” will be
spread out through a number of
buildings in the Village.
“People today don’t think about
where their food comes from,”
Lindblad said.
This new exhibit will explain just
that, and how different crops, methods
and tools all shaped the land we
see today.
Across from the blacksmith shop,
visitors can view “New England’s
Changing Landscape,” a replicated
piece of land that shows how a variety
of factors altered the rural landscape
in the 1830s.
In the Fitch Barn, which is
already a favorite of many visitors
because of the early American
clothing that can be tried on there,
folks will get glimpse of what was
used to grow and cultivate food.
“There’s a barn with a display of
agricultural tools and equipment,”
Lindblad said.
1812 Marines featured at
OSV Muster Day
STURBRIDGE – Old Sturbridge Village will
celebrate an old-fashioned “Muster Day” on
Sat., May 16, featuring the 1812 Marines from
Boston’s U.S.S. Constitution, who will march
and drill and demonstrate field maneuvers
alongside the Sturbridge militia.
Active military personnel get a 50-percent
admission discount, and visitors can enjoy
hoop races, French & English (tug of war),
“Even though they look fairly
primitive by today’s standard, [the
exhibit will show] how improvements
in the tools helped dramatically
form the economy and the
landscape,” added.
The exhibit will also outline the
various growing seasons 19th
Century residents had to deal with,
and what types of food could be
grown and certain times of year.
“In the time period of the village
people had to eat their food in season
because they couldn’t refrigerate
it,” she said.
For the more adventurous visitors,
the Town Barn, across the
Common from the Meeting House,
will feature some high-tech livestock
to give people a taste of the
daily chores a 19th century homesteader
would have.
Inside the barn, visitors will find
a stall with a life size replica of a
cow on which they can try their
hand at manual milking.
“The cow will be in an historic
milking stall and the people will get
to see what it was like to take on the
daily chore of milking a cow,”
Lindblad said.
Besides the lessons on the land,
people venturing to OSV over the
holiday weekend can participate in
the Village’s Wool Days.
As part of the annual sheep sheering
event, guests will have the
opportunity to try hand-carding
fresh wool. Carding is a means of
brushing the wool into long rolls for
spinning, or into batting for quilts.
Each sheep in OSV’s flock yields
crafts demonstrations and an opportunity to
help the farmers with spring work. Guests
can ride the Village stagecoach and
Quinebaug River boat (extra charge), and the
horse-drawn carry-all gives free rides around
the Mill Pond. For information: www.osv.org;
1-800-733-1830.
Imagine if homeland security fell to everyday
citizens. In rural New England in the
1830s, that’s how it was, and the farmers and
craftsmen in each town formed the local militia.
Twice a year, these folks spent a day
training, or were “called to muster,” to maintain
preparedness. Just such a day will be recreated
at Old Sturbridge Village Sat. May 16.
Costumed children run with some of OSV’s sheep and lambs at last year’s Memorial Day weekend events.
approximately five pounds of wool
once they are completely trimmed.
Also illustrating how technical
progress changed people’s everyday
lives, after carding wool with small
handheld paddles, people can then
visit the Village’s carding mill.
“We have three water powered
mills and the carding mill is one of
them,” Lindblad said.
Visitors will also be able to sort
and scour the wool, which is to fluff
the wool to loosen particulates, then
washing it to get rid of dirt and naturally
occurring oils.
Guests may be able to put together
a moth-repelling sachet. Sachets
were used to keep moths away from
A flag-raising to the sounds of fifes and
drums opens the day, and the Sturbridge militia,
once gathered or “mustered,” undergoes
inspection, drilling and musket firing on the
Common. Guests can also try on a knapsack
and cartridge box, and make a militia hat to
wear and take home. Master gunmaker
Stephen Paulson is on hand all day at the
Hands-On Crafts Center.
“Muster Day was not all work and no play,”
said curator Tom Kelleher. “As hard as these
folks worked on their maneuvers, it was also
a day away from regular chores, and an opportunity
for recreation.” Along these lines,
the Village will re-create a traditional

Day weekend, and every day, from

“striped pig” tent, which was a way to skirt
laws banning alcohol sales in the 1830s.
Those thirsting for an alcoholic drink could
pay a nickel to enter a tent to see a “striped
pig” and also get a shot of rum. Although
OSV will have a real striped pig, lemonade
will be substituted for the rum.
Old Sturbridge Village celebrates New
England life in the 1830s and is open daily 9:30
a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission: $20; seniors, $18;
children 3-17, $7; children under 3, free. Active

Charlton dies after being restrained at Bridgewater State Hospital
BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL
STAFF WRITER
The attorney for a 23-year-old Charlton man
who was a patient at Bridgewater State
Hospital is raising concerns about safety in
the facility in the wake of her client’s recent
death.
“Why did he die? We want to know how this
hospital could not keep him safe. He was only
there for treatment,”
said attorney Antoinette Hall.
Hall was referring to her client, Joshua K.
Messier, of 78 North Sturbridge Road in
Charlton. Messier, who was being held at the
mental facility for an examination, died
Monday after being restrained by staff and a
struggle with corrections officers,
Department of Corrections (DOC) Spokesman
Dianne Wiffin said Thursday, May 7, in a statement.
Lisa Messier, Joshua’s mother, had just
left the facility on Monday, May 4, having visited
her son one hour before the incident,
according to Hall.
Joshua Messier had been diagnosed with
paranoid schizophrenia, which the family
believes was caused by a golf cart accident,
according to Hall.
Messier was transported to Brockton
Hospital where he was pronounced dead at
10:26 p.m. Monday, May 4, according to Wiffin.
The State Police and Plymouth County
District Attorney’s Office is investigating the
incident, Wiffin said. An autopsy will be conducted,
but no cause of death has yet been
determined, Wiffin said.
“There is no indication that there was any
excessive use of force at this time,” Wiffin
said.
Hall did not respond to questions about the
struggle, but said, “if it turns out to be a lawsuit,
it is going to be a lawsuit. We don’t have
the final facts yet.”
The Plymouth Country DA’s office could not
be reached for comment yesterday.
Messier had visited another mental health
facility three times in March, according to
court records, and was also currently on probation.
The story of Messier’s fate started with a
recent incident at Harrington Memorial
Hospital in Southbridge, which prompted officials
to send him to Bridgewater for a mental
health exam. Messier, while he was a patient
at the hospital, allegedly assaulted three hospital
workers, two on Saturday, March 28, and
the third on Monday, March 30, according to a
Southbridge Police report by Office Duane

N NAYLOR’S
Kitchen, Bath
& Interiors, Inc.
&
Ledoux.
As a result, Messier was charged with three
counts of assault and battery, at Dudley
District Court on Wednesday, April 1, where a
judge entered a plea of not guilty for him,
according to court records. Messier did not
attend the hearing.
Bridgewater had filed a civil petition to hold
Messier for another six months to determine
whether he was dangerous to himself or others,
according to Hall. Messier was scheduled
to be back in court Friday, May 15, to determine
whether he would stay at the facility,
Hall said.
Officials had already completed a mental
health exam and report to determine whether
Messier was criminally responsible for his
actions during the Harrington incident, Hall
said. She would not specify what the results of
the tests were.
“He was not an inmate serving a sentence
[at Bridgewater]. He was just up there waiting
for hearing,” Hall said.
In Charlton, he is being remembered as a
nice kid, who was always respectful of others.
Messier graduated from Shepherd Hill
Regional High School in 2003, where he was
taught English by Robert O’Brien, now the
school’s assistant principal.
“Just a real nice kid,” he said. “The whole
school is saddened. Our thoughts and prayers
are with the family.”
Messier’s education did not end there.
According to a published report, he attended
UMass-Dartmouth, but did not complete his
degree.
Reached by telephone May 7, Lisa Messier
referred questions about her son to Hall.
Further attempts to reach her by her phone
were unsuccessful. She was not home when a
reporter visited her home that day, but Hall
painted her client as a man with a soft spot for
people.
“He was sweet,” she said.

Nitrous oxide arrests raise concerns in Sturbridge
GAS
continued from page A1
According to “Laughing
Gas: nitrous oxide,” a 1993
book by Michael Sheldin,
David Wallechinsky, and
Saunie Salyer that serves as a step-by-step guide book for
recreational use of the gas, side effects can include deficiency
of vitamin B12, folic acid interference, loss of motor function,
numbness in limbs, brain damage, paralysis and death.
In 1999, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) junior
Richard Guy died of asphyxiation from recreational use of
nitrous oxide in a dorm room. There were deaths on the MIT
campus from nitrous oxide use in 1984 and 1991 as well.
So, how easy is it to get your hands on this gas?
At North East Welding in Auburn, suppliers of welding,
medical, cryogenic and electronic industrial gasses, customers
are required to show the proper certification for possession of
nitrous oxide before a sale can be made.
“I believe they’d need a medical license prescription to be
able to purchase it,” said branch manager Lance Baier.
“It has to be an actual certification [saying] that they can
purchase the product,” Baier added, though he did acknowledge
he was unaware of where that certification was supposed
to come from.
“I’m not sure how they get that on their end,” Baier said.
“Basically it’s for, like, doctors’ offices or hospitals.”
Baier said the gas is often used in automobiles too, to
increase speed.
“Drag racers use it,” Baier said, but “it’s not something we
can, or would ever, sell to them.”
Auto grade nitrous oxide is actually
infused with hydrogen sulfide, making it
even more toxic when inhaled.
Nitrous oxide can also be used a propellant
for foodstuffs, such as canned whipped
cream; an application that allows legal sale
without regulation.
Illegal possession of the gas for use as an
inhalant carries a misdemeanor charge of
a $200 fine, six months in jail, or both.
According to Curboy, inhalants are the
second most popular drug among kids ages
12-17, but police do not think this sudden
presence of nitrous oxide is necessarily
indicative of a growing trend.
“I think the kids are always looking for
new things,” Benoit said. “It’s the old huffing
in a new way.”
“Not that one or two make a trend,”
Curboy said, “but to have two in a month is
disturbing.”
Christopher Tanguay may be reached at
(508) 909-4132, or by e-mail at
ctanguay@stonebridgepress.com.
One of the tanks that was recovered had a homemade device attached to it, used to fill balloons
for “huffing.

LEARNING
STUDENT WRITING SUBMISSIONS
The following items were written by
seventh-graders in Bobbie Helbig’s
Reading class at Tantasqua
Regional Junior High School.
‘The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe’ by C.S. Lewis
BY MIKAELA LACHAPELLE
I absolutely loved this book. All of
the magic and adventure, as well as
the medieval war-style, made it
impossible to put down.
The characters had so much depth
and volume to them, and C. S.
Lewis wrote this book in such a
way that you could really relate to
his characters. “The Lion, the
Witch, and the Wardrobe” was also
related to some of the stories in the
Bible, and they even helped me to
better understand my faith.
This book is often thought to be the
first in the 7-book series, but it is
really the second. (The first, “The
Magician’s Nephew,” just gives a
history of Narnia and the
wardrobe.) “The Lion, the Witch,
and the Wardrobe” tells about the
golden age of Narnia. The four
Pevensie children, from modernday
England, come into Narnia by
magic and fight against the evil
witch, usurper to the throne. They
lead Narnia’s army in its greatest
battle in history to bring peace
back to its people.
I would highly recommend this
book to anyone who enjoys magic
and excitement. The lion, the
Witch, and the Wardrobe, as well as
C. S. Lewis’s other books are a
great read.
‘Heroes Don’t Run’ by Harry
Mazer
BY ROSS HUGHES
This book was amazing in many
different ways, from excitement
and action on Okinawa, to the experiences
in boot camp for Michael,
the main character.
Michael is a boy whose father died
at Pearl Harbor, aboard the U.S.S.
Arizona. As his family moves to the
mainland, Michael moves to his
grandfather’s farm in Kansas,
where he signs up for the Marines.
Now for a fateful journey to boot
camp.
Michael runs into trouble with the
drill instructors a few times, but is
soon sent to Okinawa as a Marine.
This is the best part of the book
mainly because of the excitement,
adventure, the death at every turn.
Soon into the battle, Michael is in a
foxhole, with two other troops. A
shell lands right on top of them.
One of the men, “Rosie,” attempts
to cover “Dudley” and Michael
from the blast and he dies.
Michael’s leg is ripped to shreds,
and he is sent home. He soon recovers
and rejoins his family.
If you want to know how things
finally end up for Michael, read
this book.
‘All American Girl’ by Meg Cabot
BY CHRISTINA WHITE
“All American Girl” is a book about
a girl named Samantha.
She did something amazing ... really
amazing.
If you like fiction novels, you will
probably like this one.
As the story unfolds, we discover
her boyfriend is the President’s
son! She lives in Washington, D.C.
Earlier on in the story; Sam saves
someone — someone important
from an assassination attempt.
This just happened to be occurring
when she was supposed to be somewhere
else! Her parents paid lots of
money for her to be at the place she
should have been.
Will her parents find out that she
was not at that place she was supposed
to be?
Read the book “All American Girl”
to find out. There are other books
by this author too!
‘Shoeless Joe and Me’ by Dan
Gutman
BY BOBBY LAW
The book I choose to do a blurb on
is “Shoeless Joe and Me” by Dan
Gutman.
Shoeless Joe was in one of Major
League Baseball’s biggest problems
ever.
Joe was on a team that was paid to
lose, so he tried to win the game on
his own.
The thing I liked about the book is
that it was related to something I
like —sports. It was also about the
Black Sox scandal, a problem that
happened in MLB and changed
sports forever.
There are some other good books
like this one, “Babe and Me,” and
“Jackie and Me.”
They are both fictional autobiographies.
All of these books by Dan
Gutman are about players that
have changed the MLB. If you like
baseball, you will love Gutman’s
books.
‘The Boy Who Saved Baseball’
by John H. Ritter
BY CAMERON SIMONEAU
“The Boy Who Saved Baseball” is a
brilliant story about a 12-year-old
boy named Tom.
Tom is a kid who is not the greatest
baseball player, but a kid who loves
the game.
Tom faces one super colossal problem.
His team is not as committed.
So, to solve this problem, he faces
the challenge of getting the famous
baseball player El Grande (who
mysteriously quit playing in the
MLB) to coach his unwilling team.
Did I mention they are playing for
the sake of saving their historic
baseball field?
This book is sadly not part of a
series. I absolutely loved this book
because I am a person who is really
big on the topic of baseball. I recommend
this to any person who
loves baseball and wants to learn
about commitment.
The Meanest Doll in the World’
by Ann M. Martin and Laura
Goodwin
BY PAYTON DARGER
The reason I liked this book is that
I love to play with dolls and have
always wanted a dollhouse.
I have also always loved the
thought of your toys coming alive
while you are asleep.
In this book, dolls are alive! One
doll in this book, belongs to Kate,
the fourth grader, and the other
doll family belongs to Nora who is
Kate’s little sister. In addition, the
doll family that belongs to Kate
was first given to her great-grandma,
has been passed along, and
now belongs to Kate.
Yes, this book is part of a series,
which I just learned while reading
it for the second time.
If you love dolls and adventure like
I do, read this book!
‘All the Blue Moons at the
Wallace Hotel’ by Phoebe Stone
BY ANNALISA SCIULLO
What if your sister went missing?
Would you be scared what might
happen to her? Well, read this book
to find out! The title of my book is
“All the Blue Moons at the Wallace
Hotel.” This book is very interesting
and fun. People that love ballet,
well, this would be the right book
for you. Especially if you like castles
too. It has a little bit of comedy
as well to keep it fresh. That’s why
you should read “All the Blue
Moons at the Wallace Hotel.”
‘Maximum Ride: Saving the
World and Other Extreme
Sports’ by James Patterson
BY TAN LY
Max and the flock are back for
more action! Their old enemy, the
Erasers, have disappeared. No one
knows what happened to them. The
new enemies are called the
Flyboys. Max has been hearing a
strange voice in her head telling
her that she is supposed to save the
world but she doesn’t know who is
talking to her. The flock split up.
Max’s group went to the main Itex
lab and found the truth about her
parents. Fang’s group went to
recruit kids to help battle the Itex
scientists.
When you read this book you will
not want to put this book down. It
has a lot of exciting action scenes
and some romance. If you want to
know what happen to Max’s and
Fang’s group then you will have to
read this book to find out.
‘The Bad Beginning’ by Lemony
Snicket
BY TAYLOR FARLAND
This is a great book! Have you ever
lost someone really close to you?
How about both of your parents?
And on top of that you no longer
have a beautiful house to live in?
The three Baudelaire children lost
their mom and dad in a tragic fire
accident. The three Baudelaire
children are Violet (the oldest),
Klaus (second oldest), and Sunny
(the baby). So far they have had a
pretty bad life. They lost their parents,
they have no house, and they
have to live with a horrible uncle,
Count Olaf. I think that you are just
going to have to read the book to
find out what happens to them.
I like the way Lemony Snicket
writes his books, they are full of
mystery. My favorite genre is mystery
because it is just a chain of
unknown secrets that are all tied
together to make the story more
interesting. If you read this I am
almost 99.9 percent sure that you
will like this book. So try it and if
you don’t like it, it was worth a
shot.
Weather
BY CHELSEA WHITE
Outside today the sky is as beautiful
as a fresh bowl of blueberries.
The trees and plants budding and
blooming as spring comes out of
hiding. Birds sway and wind
whooshes. Snow melts like ice
cream dripping off an ice cream
cone. Winter is almost gone!
Oh ... what a beautiful day!
BY ABBY TAIT
The wind was whipping as fast as
lightning. The clouds simply lay on
the sky tucking the sun away like a
blanket. Even though the wind was
fierce the little bits of sun rays
comforted me as if I was being
hugged. The wind gave me goose
bumps. It feels as if ants are running
up my arms. As the ants run
up and down I think, what an emotional
day.
BY ANNA SCIULLO
Today’s weather is very beautiful
and welcoming looking. It makes
you want to go outside and play.
The sun is shining and the sky is a
baby blue, with very little clouds.
There’s even no wind blowing. It’s
a quiet still day like a baby sleeping
peacefully in her cradle. Maybe
even tonight the sunset will go
down and it will tell us tomorrow
will be a beautiful and welcoming
day too.
BY TAN LY
Today’s weather is as sunny as a
light bulb glowing at night. The
clear blue sky is like the clear blue
ocean. The trees are still as a fox
waiting for its food. The clouds
were like fluffy frosting.

OPINION
VIEWS AND COMMENTARY FROM STURBRIDGE, BRIMFIELD, HOLLAND AND WALES
Did officials
‘cry swine?’
In the end, it was destined to be a no-win
situation.
If the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and health officials at all
levels of government had not issued some
form of alert or advisory about the H1N1
(“swine”) flu, the outcry would have been
deafening.
When it didn’t immediately burst into the
second-coming of the Great Influenza of 1918
we got the flip side.
The government “cried swine.”
Not quite.
Health officials rightly issued an advisory
about a flu strain that was killing people in
Mexico at a time when vacationing
Americans were visiting that country in large
numbers. They advised watchfulness and caution,
warned against panic — which in many
cases fell on deaf ears — and reminded the
public about basic hygiene practices.
How could they?
Americans are a fickle bunch. The
appalling lack of information or even government
acknowledgement of the 1918 pandemic
in many places cost who knows how many
lives. We learned our lesson, that forewarned
is forearmed.
Somehow it all became exaggerated in
recent years. A weather forecast calling for
more than three inches of snow can cause
loaves of bread to mysteriously disappear
from store shelves. A caution about H1N1 flu
caused a run on Tamiflu medicine and cases
of hand sanitizer at pharmacies in many
parts of the country in the past few weeks.
To this point, on this side of the border, the
flu has not caused the mass deaths many envisioned
and, for that, they are ready to tar and
feather public health officials for “spreading
panic.”
But CDC acting director Dr. Richard Besser
correctly cautions that the sigh of relief and
public scoffing has come too soon. It took
almost a full year for the 1918 pandemic to
bloom into the killer it became. While that is
not certain to happen with the H1N1, the illness
has not had time to show its true colors.
Mexican authorities were quick to declare
the emergency over in time for Cinco de Mayo
celebrations. But the Southern hemisphere’s
coming winter may be the real testing ground.
If it is really the fizzle we hope, we should be
grateful for the alert and advice. If it hangs on
and bursts forth again, ditto.
We can’t think of a situation where too
much advice about a public health issue was
possible. But we’ve seen the ugly side of panic
when not enough information is offered.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Teachers, nurses take education, students seriously
To the Editor:
May 5 commemorated Teacher
Appreciation Day and May 6 School Nurse
Appreciation Day. During these days school
districts pay homage to those who put so
much time and effort into guiding the generations
to follow, as well as meeting their immediate
health and safety needs.
At the Tantasqua Regional/Union 61
School Districts we are most fortunate to
have staff members who take seriously the
task of education and student health and
safety. Through professional development
and individual continuing education, you
consistently strive to increase the level of student
learning for all levels of learners and
ensure that this is accomplished in a healthful
environment.
The collaboration at both the school and
district levels is remarkable. Working together,
our nurses developed a Health and Safety
Procedure Manual, elementary and secondary
teachers work in partnership to ensure a
smooth transition for each child as they move
from the comfort of their school to the
greater population of the district. In each
school the level of dedication to ensuring a
quality learning environment for each and
every child has created the reputation that
has made our districts sought after by so
many.
For all that you do, each and every day, for
the children, the school, the community, my
personal thanks and appreciation.

I’ll admit it’s tempting to

distracted to swerve out of
the way of an incoming car.
At the time—which was
only last week—she wasn’t

safe to shoot off that quick

light, however, after this most
the Massachusetts Bay recent incident in Boston and
Transportation Authority the California train crash last
would take measures to show
they cared about such issues.
MBTA general manager
Daniel Grabauskas said “he
would ban on-the-job possession
of cellphones by T operators
and would fire anyone
caught carrying a phone,
pager, or similar device,” the
Boston Globe reported this
past weekend.
“Leave it at home. Leave it
in your car. Leave it with a
friend. Leave it in a locker.
But you are not to get on
board that bus or [train or
trolley] and have a cellphone
on your person or in the cab.
Period. This is going to be a
zero-tolerance policy,” he told
the Globe.
His response came after the
fall which killed 25 people —
including the conductor who
was texting right before the
crash — and injured 135.
Even if we don’t work in public
transportation, we share
the same responsibility for
keeping the road a safe place
to drive for ourselves and others.
And while drivers who text
while driving are often considered
dangerous, drivers
who wish to talk on their cell
phones while driving are
often not considered as dangerous.
In their defense, they
can use headsets or Blue
Tooth devices to make their
calls hands-free, but they do,
all too often, have to dial a
number before beginning a
crash that luckily didn’t happen
conversation. And that
during my friend’s bus
ride but did, indeed, happen
in Boston.
During prime travel time
for commuters or those headed
to a Red Sox game against
the Tampa Bay Rays on
Friday, May 8, a 24-year-old
trolley operator hit another
requires the exact same concentration
and physical hand
movements as sending a text
message.
Yet many states have laws
prohibiting drivers from talking
on cell phones without
hands-free devices… without
considering that the danger
trolley after running a red of dialing can be just as
severe as the danger of text
messaging while driving. The
Governors Highway Safety
Association reports that only
five states have full bans on
handheld cell phones (requiring
drivers to use hands-free
devices if they wish to use
their cell phones while driving).
And only 10 states have
text messaging bans for all
drivers. Of those states with
laws, only one New England
state — Connecticut — has
any formal statewide bans.
Connecticut bans both text
messaging and handheld cell
phones.
That’s one reason I am
impressed with the MBTA’s
ban on cell phones altogether,
and I hope that other public
and private transportation
services — like the one my
friend was using last week—
will think about the benefits
of similar bans. While text
messaging may have been the
culprit in this particular case
in Boston on May 8, simply
dialing a brief, 10-digit number
could be the culprit next
time.
It only makes sense that
those charged with the
responsibility of transporting
passengers on mass transit
would also be charged
with doing that safely. And if
making sure no one carries a
cell phone on the job is the
answer, then that has my full
support.
But what of the other drivers
on the road?
It would cause a major
uproar, I am sure, if any state
even suggested banning cell
phone use altogether. And
some hands-free devices
admittedly have voice activation
features which allow the
driver to “dial” a number by
simply saying a name or a
phone number out loud. But
too many don’t. And in order
for bans on handheld devices
to be effective, hands-free
replacements need to truly be
hands-free.
For now, I guess it’s up to
the individual driver to make
sure that he or she is driving
safely — without texting or
dialing while driving.
Otherwise, another incident
like the one in Boston
could — and unfortunately,
likely will — happen again,
even if text messaging and
handheld cell phones are
banned in our state.

AS YOU delivered about three minutes

MARK ASHTON
This was all remarkable
because I didn’t work for
Channel 7 News, I just happened
on the fire and happened to have a
video camera with me that day, and the news
department gave me $100 for sole rights to
the film. I was thrilled, even though they
later kept referring to the film as “amateur
footage” on their newscast, to make sure
viewers wouldn’t suspect their professional
camera crew of zooming and panning in
such an unprofessional manner as I had.
Even more remarkably, when I got back
down to the street, my car was still there and
there was no ticket on it. I simply got in and
drove off as if I knew where I was going, as
if I did this sort of thing every day. Which I
didn’t. And don’t. In fact, I haven’t driven
into Boston since, except by way of: 1. taking
the Turnpike to Route 128 South to Riverside
Station and riding the Green Line into
Fenway; or 2. letting someone else do the
driving.
It’s not that I’m still actually afraid of
falling into “The Big Dig” at this point; it’s
more like I’m afraid of becoming the commuter
version of Charlie on the MTA, getting
stuck forever on the streets of Boston, or
getting terminally looped in the “right-turnonly”
line of traffic when I want the left lane.
Or having the car conk out completely in the
Ted Williams Tunnel or something else fun
like that!
When did I become such a wimp? I’m not
sure, but I think it kind of just creeps up on
you. It’s just one of the reasons I was so
proud of my “southern cousins” who drove
317 miles from Maryland and Pennsylvania
last weekend to be with us at my Mom’s
memorial service. I was grateful, of course,
for EVERYONE there, at the cemetery
and/or church service, but Janet and Bert
had driven five-and-a-half hours to
Sturbridge and Southbridge — a feat that
nowadays impresses me greatly.
Janet’s description of the journey made it
even more impressive. Bert, a mere 60 years
old, had done the driving. Janet, his slightly
older sister, rode shotgun and was reading
from the Google/MapQuest-printed directions.
The built-in GPS (global positioning
system — or maybe going pretty-much somewhere)
was also alive and chirping out
instructions in that wonderful, friendly
(female), computer voice.
Janet was comparing the printed maps and
directions to the route numbers whizzing by
to their right. They didn’t match. She listened
as the GPS voice gave explicit instructions,
which also didn’t match the written
directions. It didn’t matter, since Bert
ignored both, causing the typically unflustered
GPS guide to repeat, “Recalculating —
recalculating,” as (she) plotted a new course
and offered new suggestions.
Finally Janet informed Bert, “It says
you’re s’posed to turn HERE!” He in turn
calmly replied, “I like THIS road!” Which is
probably how they did the 317 miles in only
five-and-a-half hours. When we were kids
and took our summer vacations down at Bert
and Janet’s family farm in Lincoln
University, Pa., it generally took eight hours
or so. Of course, Dad was then driving, cars
and roads were both a bit slower, we stopped
for breakfast at a nearby diner, had potty
breaks four or five times (each), held our
noses all the way down the New Jersey
Turnpike, and had to take an occasional carsick
break because of all the backseat
jostling.
Anyway, I was (and still am) duly
impressed by all the modern technology that
can help get us from one place to another, but
I’m even more impressed by the human drive
to drive independently — to “disobey” all
that technology and to assert: “Hey, I’M in
charge; you’re here to help ME. Shut up
unless and until I ask for your opinion.”
Bert, of course, didn’t say that to either the
GPS voice OR his sister Janet (which is why
he’s still alive for me to write about), but he
did strike a blow for all men everywhere by
putting his foot down (literally, on the gas
pedal), ignoring spoken directions from both
sources, and setting his own course, so to
speak, by the seat of his pants.
I figure there’s a lesson in there some-

DA: No plans for charges against ex-Holland police chief
CHIEF
continued from page A1
said, “is something that I guess you
would call normal procedure.”
The inventory however, gave way
to a firestorm speculation about the
circumstances under which Gleason
resigned. But First Assistant
District Attorney of Hampden
County James Orenstein insisted,
“There are no charges that have
been brought against anyone.”
When asked if such an inventory
was actually necessary at all departments
during the transition of
chiefs, Orenstein refrained from
commenting directly, saying an
answer to that question would have
implications on the public’s understanding
of what is still a private
matter in Holland.
Officers at the Sturbridge State
Police Barracks declined to comment
on the situation.
Wettlaufer said the inventory was
conducted to maintain a documented
chain of custody of all the evidence.
“The chief is always your evidence
officer at the police station,”
Wettlaufer said. “There’s evidence
there from many, many cases. There
was a lot more than I would have
imagined,” he continued. Wettlaufer
was present at the time of the inventory
with Gleason and Sgt. Bryan
Haughey.
The intention of the procedure,
Wettlaufer said, was simply to have
additional eyes view the items in
storage before Gleason’s departure,
“so we know what was there when
he left. It’s just a matter of maintaining
security.”
After the inventory was conducted,
locks and security system codes
were changed at the Town Hall
where the Police Department is
located.
A former town official raised questions
about doing that type of inventory,
but did not speak directly about
Holland’s situation.
“I am not aware of it being done
[as a standard police procedure],” he
said, “certainly not with the State
Police, perhaps with somebody within
your own department.”
Such an inventory was not done
when former Holland Police Chief
Jack Jovan took the job in November
1992, or when he left in October 2000,
according to the official. He also said
he never heard of security codes and
locks being changed, as happened
Monday.
Gleason has had a turbulent history
in area law enforcement.
In 1999, while employed as an auxiliary
police officer in Southbridge,
Gleason was charged with operating
a motor vehicle under the influence
of liquor (OUI). He was later found
not guilty of that charge in Dudley
District Court.
Southbridge Police Chief Daniel
Charette had only a vague recollection
of Gleason’s time on the
Southbridge force.
“I didn’t interact that much with
him,” he said of Gleason’s time in
Southbridge. “At that time I was a
Sergeant. He seemed like an OK
guy.”
Charette said he was unaware of
the OUI incident.
Gleason was also named as a
defendant in a 2007 lawsuit brought
against the town by former Holland
police officer Stacey Quinones.
In the suit, Quinones accused
Gleason of sexual harassment and
making threats of physical violence.
Holland settled the suit to the tune of
$50,000.
In recent months a blog operated
by Holland resident Peter Frei has
accused Gleason of a whole battery
of criminal offenses, going so far as
to take partial credit for Gleason’s
failing health, attributing it to stress

where, and even though I’m not
equal to the task of equaling Bert’s
derring-do, I do offer a heartfelt

or otherwise) who may be
offended.
In celebration of our minireunion,
Janet, eight of us went out
together the night before the memorial
and shared some memories,
some Chinese food, and some family
he had already been considering it
for a while.
“We have got the land here, it just
seems right,” he said.
Preble is not alone in the opinion.
Bartlett Junior/Senior High School
science teacher Richard Bryson has
already started work on a garden on
the school’s campus. As part of a
class project, Bryson and his students
are clearing the area and hope
to have their site operating soon, in
time for growing season. Bryson
said it will be free and open to school
students the first year, due to time
constraints he has for the project. It
could possibly open to the public in
the future, he said.
Bryson, rather than citing economic
reasons for his plans, said he
wants to use the garden to form
tighter bonds within the town.
“It helps bring the community
together. People can meet people,”
he said.
Several other details have yet to be
worked out at both sites. Depending
on how big his garden becomes,
Bryson wants to open it to the general
public and impose a small fee for
the second year, he said. He plans to
send out flyers to students’ families
to gauge interest in the project.
At the church’s site, Preble said he
needs to take his plans “from theory
into practice.”
The benefits of both sites could be
bountiful. According to the
American Community Garden
Association, community gardens
encourage people to become more
self-reliant, reduces their food budget,
and creates social opportunities
for gardeners.
“I think it brings people together,”
Preble said.
The Southern Worcester County
Gardening Group’s food plot in
Webster is already reaping the benefits
of the plants they have sown.
“It seems like people are caring
more about each other when we are
there. I have seen that grow a lot,”
said the group’s secretary-treasurer
Ginger Costen.
Since opening a year ago on
Sutton Road, the garden has grown
to have raspberries, onions and garlic
among other plants, she said. The
150 by 50 feet site is free of charge
and open to Webster, Dudley and
Oxford residents.
Both Preble and Bryson are forecasting
abundant harvests for their
gardens. Preble is he would consider
planting flowers and even opening a
farmers market. He also suggested
collecting rainwater in barrels to
irrigate the garden. Gardening
classes could even be held, he said.
“We would start off small obviously,”
Preble said. “I think the interest
will grow each year.”
Bryson said he wants to expand
his garden, depending on its success,
which he is confident will happen.
“I know it will be,” he said.
Operating community gardens is
not a new idea as it harkens back to
a couple of traditions. Costen’s land
was formerly the site of an old poor
farm, she said, and the garden just
continues that tradition.
Preble said religious institutions
have traditionally had gardens to
feed parishioners. Churches in general,
he said, needs to fulfill that role
because the government should and
cannot.
“We’re supposed to be watching
out for our brother,” he said.

projects can contact Preble at 508-
765-5276 or Costen at 508-943-4599.

When asked if this public forum
for criticism may have had an
impact on Gleason’s decision to
leave the department, Wettlaufer
said, “I don’t think so. I sure hope
not.”
“I can’t believe anybody gives any
credibility to those guys,” Wettlaufer
said of the people who post on Frei’s
blog.
Wettlaufer did acknowledge, “It’s
clearly no fun being attacked continually.”
James LaMountain of Huguenot
Farms, a frequent contributor to the
blog, pulled no punches as he hailed
Gleason’s resignation in a telephone
interview last week.
“It should have happened a year
ago,” he said.
In recent years, LaMountain has
had several high-profile encounters
with Gleason.
“He’s consistently trespassed on
our land and given our men illegal
orders to stop what they’re doing,”
LaMountain said. “He’s refused to
enforce restraining orders.”
“Now Holland has an opportunity
to move forward with their police
department if they put together a
search committee,” LaMountain
added.
One member of the Holland Police
Department declined to comment on
Gleason specifically, except to say

department are in knots over the situation.
The officer also speculated that Lt.
Ray Morehouse might serve as acting
chief for quite a while.
At a meeting of the Board of
Selectmen Tuesday, May 5, which
Gleason did not attend, Wettlaufer
explained the process through
which they will begin looking for his
replacement.
The selectmen were scheduled to
hold a meeting on Monday, May 11
with Haughey and Morehouse to discuss
what to do with the department
in the interim.
Morehouse, who is currently in
Georgia and will return on Friday,
offered to work as a part-time chief,
according to selectmen.
Wettlaufer indicated that was all
he or the other selectmen would say
on the matter that night.
Prior to the meeting however,
Wettlaufer indicated that in his opinion,
the Holland Police Department
does not need a full-time chief.
“We don’t need someone in an
office, we need someone on the
street, we need patrol,” Wettlaufer
said. “I want to get the most police
services for the dollars we have to
spend,” he added, saying in a town
like Holland, the department does
not need
“I’m hoping we can have an open
discussion,” Wettlaufer said.
When asked to rate Gleason’s overall
performance as chief, Wettlaufer
simply said, “I’m not going to
answer that now. I’m going to pass on
that.”
Adding fuel to the fire of speculation,
the Selectmen ended their
Tuesday night meeting with an executive
session held to discuss “complaints
or charges,” brought against
a town official, though did not specify
who. State Police Lt. Kevin Hope,
one of the participants in the inventory,
and the town of Holland’s legal
council also attended the closed session.
During the open session of the
meeting, local police were situated
outside the building and at the
entrance to the meeting room.
Eyebrows were also raised regarding
the Selectmen’s acceptance of
the resignation.
Wettlaufer opened Tuesday’s
meeting with a prepared statement
about Gleason’s resignation, saying
“yesterday morning I received a
phone call,” alerting him to the
impending resignation, prompting
him to go to Town Hall. Who the
phone call came from is unclear.
There, he was met by Selectmen
Earl Johnson and Christian
Petersen, who Wettlaufer told
reporters were acting in their other
roles as assessors, and were therefore
not meeting as selectmen.
According to Massachusetts
General Law Chapter 39 section 23B,
open meeting laws only do not apply
“to any chance meeting, or a social
meeting.”
The law as written focuses primarily
on personal presence, not necessarily
recognizing additional roles
people may play when their inclusion
at a specific gathering creates a
quorum of another board or committee
of which they are a member.
Additionally, the law says no official
decisions can be made at such
an informal gathering.
Selectmen did not vote, or even
agree to accept Gleason’s resignation
at the officially scheduled meeting
the following day, but simply
announced that it happened.
“No chance meeting or social
meeting shall be used in circumvention
of the spirit or requirements of
this section to discuss or act upon a
matter over which the governmental
body has supervision, control, jurisdiction
or advisory power,” the law
reads.
Worcester County District
Attorney Joseph Early’s spokesman
Tim Connolly said he could not comment
on an interpretation of the law
in regards to the specific incident
without detailed knowledge of the
events of that morning.

LYME
continued from page A1
Harrington Memorial Hospital,
“Lyme disease is caused by bacteria
— germs — that are spread by
tiny, infected deer ticks. The tick
usually must be attached to a person
for at least 24 hours before it
can spread the germ.”
If left untreated, Nutile said the
effects of Lyme disease could be
drastic.
“Many people who don’t get
treatment develop nervous system
problems,” Nutile said in a written
statement. “These problems
include meningitis, an inflammation
of the membranes covering
the brain and spinal cord; facial
weakness, Bell’s palsy; or other
problems with nerves of the head,
and weakness or pain, or both, in
the hands, arms, feet and/or legs.”
“The heart also can be affected
in Lyme disease, with slowing
down of the heart rate and fainting,”
Nutile added.
In less severe cases, Lyme disease
can cause “flu-like symptoms,
such as fever, headache, stiff neck,
sore and aching muscles and
joints, fatigue and swollen glands,”
according to Nutile.
Current treatment for the disease
includes regimens of antibiotics.
According to the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health
(DPH), there were more then 3,000
confirmed cases of Lyme disease
in the commonwealth in 2007, with
381 of those cases occurring in

Sturbridge Business
Builders hosts visitors day
STURBRIDGE — The
Sturbridge Area Business
Worcester County.
In 2006, there were only 2,494
cases in Massachusetts. Again, the
DPH reported 381 cases in
Worcester County for that year too.
So why the influx in overall
cases?
A few local residents have an
interesting theory on forestry
practices having a direct impact on
tick populations.
Humid areas, wooded, or overgrown
with brush are ideal breeding
grounds for ticks.
Lifelong Brimfield resident Bob
Martin, said when he was a child,
he didn’t even know what ticks
were, and that the practice of
burning swamp grass and other
patches of land may have been
what kept tick populations in
check.
“I think that’s got quite a bearing
on it,” said the 75-year-old
Martin, who said he saw his first
tick in the late 1970s after the routine
of burning grass and brush
had fallen out of popular practice.
Tree farmer John Freeman of
Brimfield said there may be some
merit to Martin’s theory.
“After the swamp grass and
everything was dry they would go
in and burn it down,” Freeman
said. “I remember this too as a
kid.”
Freeman explained that burning
the ground cover would improve
the land for the next growing season.
“Of course the grass would
come back all the better the next
spring,” Freeman said.
Thinking back to when burning
NEWS BRIEFS
was a common method of land
stewardship, Freeman agrees with
Martin.
“I don’t remember deer ticks
being a problem,” Freeman said.
“They weren’t prevalent like they
are now.”
“The population continues to go
up and there’s no mechanism to
keep them in check,” Freeman
added. “If you burned it in the fall
that would take care of the ticks.”
To prevent Lyme disease, Nutile
suggests using repellent containing
the chemical DEET when in
the woods, grasslands, or other
open spaces where ticks can breed.
DEET should not be used on children
and only in concentrations of
less than 30 percent on adults.
Wearing hats, long sleeved shirts
and long pants tucked into shoes
or socks can prevent ticks from
making contact with the body. A
thorough examination of the
entire body after being in the
woods can help detect ticks before
their bite becomes severe enough
to pass along Lyme.
If you do discover a tick, remove
it in a steady motion using tweezers,
making sure the entire tick is
removed from the skin. Wash the
location of the bite with soap and
water immediately and keep an
eye on it to make sure a rash does
not form. If a rash develops, consider
seeking medical attention.

Funds aim to help with job training
Ryan Grannan-Doll photo
Secretary of the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development Suzanne M. Bump announces $4.3 million money for job training programs yesterday. Roger
Carey, 48, an unemployed Dudley resident who was laid off in February, practices his Microsoft Word skills.
BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL
STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER
A slew of new job training programs are
scheduled to start in Southbridge, thanks to a
large influx of federal stimulus money.
Secretary of the Executive Office of Labor
and Workforce Development Suzanne M.
Bump yesterday announced $4.3 million to
fund adult job training, summer work for
teens and support for the unemployed.
The money will be used to start job programs
including at the Workforce
Development Career Center on Optical Drive
in Southbridge. A general equivalency diploma
(GED) program will be available, along
with a summer jobs program that will target
youths, according to Southbridge Workforce
Career Center Operations Manager Kathy
Joy. Because the stimulus money project is
moving so quickly, Joy said, the details of the
program are still sketchy and no start dates
for the program have been decided yet.
Although the money will filter through the
Southbridge office, residents from surrounding
Central Massachusetts communities are
welcome to use the services, according to a
press release from Bump’s office. The programs
will also be available to the Workforce
Career Center in Worcester.
The money is supposed to help people like
48-year-old Dudley resident Roger Carey, who
was brushing up on his Microsoft Word skills
Wednesday, May 6 at the Southbridge
Workforce office. The divorced father of
three was laid off from his metal fabrication
job in February and remains unemployed.
The stimulus money will be used for job
training programs — such as the one he is
applying to take this summer to become an
HVAC technician.
“If I get into this, I would feel pretty good
about it,” Carey said. “I want to get back to
work as soon as possible.”
To improve his chances, Carey said he has
been taking several Microsoft Word training
sessions at the Southbridge office to accomplish
his goal and just become a better candidate
for any job. Despite what he called a
“positive outlook” on his prospects for
obtaining a job, Carey fears starting a new
career in HVAC will amount to pay cut from
his prior job. But with a new education, his
prospects improve, he said.
“You are always going to be able to move
up,” he said. “That gives you a positive outlook.”
If all goes well for Carey, his financial life
will become easier, as the stimulus money is
intended to do throughout the country. His
20-year-old daughter is in college and his 17-
year-old son is in technical school.
“It has been hard,” he said.
The money for Southbridge should serve as
a springboard for many uneducated
Southbridge residents, according to Joy.
Southbridge has one of the highest high
school dropout rates in the state, she said.
“I think there is a high need in Southbridge
area [for the GED program],” she said. “We
need to address that. We need to make them
understand there is still hope for them.”
A GED is further necessary to land an
entry-level job, according to the Director of
the Workforce Central Career Centers
Donald H. Anderson.
Bump, in her announcement, urged unemployed
people to remain optimistic despite
many jobs sectors shedding employees lately.
“There are employers that are hiring right
now,” she said, including many companies in
the health care field.
The money comes at a much needed time
when employers across the state are rapidly
shedding jobs, which has boosted unemployment
rates. Southbridge’s unemployment
rate for March is 10.8 percent, a decrease
from February’s 11.2 percent rate, according
to the federal Bureau of Labor And Statistics
(BLS). Charlton went from an 8.5 percent rate
in January to a 9.0 percent figure in February
and March. Statewide, the figures are not
pretty, from February to March, 20,000 jobs
were lost. From March 2008 to March 2009,

District-bound Warriors roll to victory
TANTASQUA SOFTBALL EARNS 10TH WIN OF SEASON AGAINST LEICESTER
BY MARK WILLIAMS
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
STURBRIDGE — Mission accomplished.
The Tantasqua softball team’s
goal was to make a return to the
districts. They did. The Warriors
got their 10th win of the year and
clinched a district berth with a 12-1
victory over Leicester Thursday
afternoon, May 7.
Although it was a very convincing
victory for the Warriors, things
certainly did not start off that way.
Leicester jumped out to a firstinning
lead on an errant throw by
Tantasqua starting pitcher
Marissa Simpson. Leicester’s
Hailey Terri came around to score
on the error to make it 1-0
Wolverines.
Tantasqua would never relinquish
the lead again. From then on
out, Tantasqua had some very timely
hitting and finished out the game
with a 17-hit attack led by freshman
phenomenon Olivia Brooks, who
was one hit shy of hitting for the
cycle. She finished 4-for-5 with
three runs batted in, including a
big two-run home run. Tantasqua
also had a solid contribution from
sophomore third basemen Amy
McClelland, who was 4-for-4 with
four singles and four runs batted
in. With a three-run third inning
and a six-run fourth inning, the
Warriors proved to be too much for
the Leicester team to handle.
Leicester only managed to get
two hits off of junior pitcher
Marissa Simpson, who once again
proved her mental toughness on
the mound. Simpson was in the
zone mowing down Wolverine after
Wolverine. She finished with 15
strikeouts and went on to pitch a
complete game. She was also 3-for-5
at the plate.
“It is very nice to get that 10th
win and just to get it over with,”
Tantasqua coach Phil Lagerstrom
said on his team clinching a district
berth. “Now we can focus on the
rest of our season and strongly prepare
for a run at the district title.”
Although the win was a good win
for the Warriors, Lagerstrom did
admit there are some things that
they need to work on come postseason
time.
“At this point and time we are
making too many mental errors
and at times are hesitant in what
we need to do in certain situations,”
he said. “I feel that when we
are relaxed, we play our best ball,
but when we are tense, we make
silly mistakes, but that is something
we can definitely improve
upon between now and district
time.”
The Warriors will finish out
their regular season with three of
the next four games on the road in
hopes that they can work on their
game and become a district contender.

however, that a sudden crackdown on vendors
would not result in massive revenue for the
commonwealth, but rather, would begin to kill
antique shows like this one.
“They’re not going to get all that money.
What they’re going to do is close large scale
venues down,” Smola said.
His assessment appears to be correct.
Marvin Rubin of D&M Antiques has been
selling antiques in the Mahogany Ridge section
of the show since the late 1970s.

“If it was that much money, I would leave.”
Rubin said of the possibility of having to pay
for state licensure.
Rubin, like the majority of vendors, possesses
a Tax Exempt license, which he said is necessary
to deal antiques at a venue like the
Brimfield show, but was unaware of Transient
Vendors’ license.
According to Smola, that’s a common theme.
“The assumption always was that they didn’t
require that,” he said.
Rubin explained a variety of factors have
hindered dealers’ ability to move antiques at
the same prices as in previous years, making a
Transient Vendors’ Permit, a very difficult burden
to bear.
“There’s a dilution of the dollar,” Rubin said.
“When the economy’s soft, it’s soft here too.”
Rubin said he has seen a significant drop-off
in international visitors to the Brimfield show
in recent years, and a trend of lower budgets
among those who do attend.
According to Rubin, where he used to sell the
majority of his items to new homeowners,
most first-time homeowners now are purchasing
smaller houses and are furnishing them
with modern amenities, not grandiose pieces
of antique hardwood furniture.
The Internet, Rubin said, has also had a drastic
impact on antiques dealers.
“EBay has changed a lot of it too,” he said,
explaining that people’s ability to sell their own
basement and attic treasures has caused a
decline in his line of work.
If Bill 112 were to pass, it would effectively
eliminate the state required permit for anyone
conducting business in a flea market setting.
“It will, in law, waive the fee for anyone that
is a promoter in a flea market,” Smola said.
Right now, Smola is working closely with
Brimfield officials to draft a caveat to the bill
that would make sure municipalities would
still be able to charge their own vendor fee,
even if the state fee is eliminated.
“What we’re doing now is, we’re working
with the Board of Selectmen along with their
counsel at Kopelman and Paige to insert language
into the bill that will provide protection
to the town for their fee,” Smola said.
According to Panaccione, “Our town counsel
has sent language over to them.”
Currently, the town charges a $20 vendor fee
to each dealer. The cost is down from $30, which
was charged last year.
“We’re trying to preserve their ability to collect
this miniscule fee,” Smola said.
The Consumer Protection and Professional
Licensure Committee will meet today in executive
session to determine the fate of the bill. If
it is rejected or sent to study, Smola said that
may be the end of Bill 112, but a recommendation
would at least allow the bill to be heard in
the Senate as well.
Brimfield is also currently wrapped up in a
March 25 civil action, filed by a group of
owner/operators, claiming the emergency
services fee they are charged is illegal.
“The amount of the vendor permit fees was
more than enough to cover the emergency services
cost,” said Attorney David Martel, representing
the owner/operators, in the days following
the initial filing of the suit.
“That is still going through litigation,”
Panaccione said.
A hearing on the emergency services fee is
scheduled for Hampden County Superior
Court in Springfield on Monday, June 15.
The Flea Market and Antique Show will be
open Tuesday, May 12 through Sunday, May 17
and will return to Brimfield July 14-19 and
Sept. 8-13.
While vendors prepared their areas yesterday, some early bird shoppers walked the grounds of the Brimfield
Flea Market and Antique Show, getting a preview of items for sale during the first of three annual visits.

Great Eating And Lifestyle Tips For A Healthier Heart
(STATEPOINT)
There’s no good reason that heart and cardiovascular
disease should continue to be the
number one killer in the U.S.
We’ve all heard the messages about what
foods and behaviors are good and bad for us.
It’s finally time to start doing something about
it — and it doesn’t have to be difficult.
“As a doctor and a food executive, I’ve seen
many, many people unnecessarily suffering
from heart ailments,” says Dr. Peter Praeger, a
practicing heart surgeon and founder of Dr.
Praeger’s Sensible Foods. “We all know that
bad eating and lifestyle habits are direct contributors
to heart disease, so why not make a
change in your family’s lives simply by making
some better choices?”
Here are some basic heart health tips from
Dr. Praeger that you and your loved ones can
follow:
* The key to being healthy is moderation
and exercise. Keep this in mind when setting
healthy living goals.
* Get your blood pressure and cholesterol
screened starting at the age of 14.
* Make simple changes in your lifestyle to
become more active, such as taking the stairs
instead of the elevator.
* Walking two miles per day can help keep
your heart healthy.
* Focus on eating sensibly most of the time,
but don’t deprive yourself of all the foods you
enjoy.
* Make sure your grocery list includes foods
that are all-natural and preservative-free, such
as Dr. Praeger’s Sensible Foods products.
* Eat more fiber. Eating fiber from fruits,
vegetables, and grains may help lower your
chances of getting heart disease.
* Try to avoid foods high in trans fat, saturated
fat, cholesterol and sodium.
* When purchasing vegetables, keep in mind
that the more colorful they are, the more
heart-protective antioxidants they typically
contain.

“The key to heart health and general health
is to make healthful eating and lifestyle choices,
no matter how old you are,” stresses Dr.
Praeger.
Veggie burgers provide healthful fiber from vegetables and grains.
Some Bacteria Can Be Good
For Your Stomach and Digestion
(STATEPOINT)
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is one of the
most common gastrointestinal disorders. The
condition, with symptoms including abdominal
pain, constipation and/or diarrhea, affects
up to one in five Americans and is second only
to the common cold as a leading cause of
workplace absenteeism in the U.S.
IBS costs the U.S. healthcare system up to an
estimated $20 to 25 billion annually in direct
and indirect costs. Beyond the physical effects,
IBS sufferers can feel embarrassed by unpredictable
symptoms and be forced to limit
social activities.
Although IBS affects so many people, the
causes of the condition are still unclear. There
are many theories on what causes IBS —
including an altered immune response or an
imbalance of bacteria in the gut.
Dr. Lin Chang, Professor of Medicine in the
Division of Digestive Diseases at the David
Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and Co-
Director of the UCLA Center for
Neurobiology of Stress suggests the following
for people who are experiencing recurring
abdominal pain, diarrhea and/or constipation:
* Talk to a Professional: A medical professional
can review symptoms, make a diagnosis
and help establish a plan of action. There
are prescription and over-the-counter therapies
that can help minimize the symptoms of
IBS.
* Keep a Log: For some people, certain foods,
stress, infection, and hormonal changes can
trigger IBS symptoms. Keeping a diary of
foods and activities is a good way to track
potential triggers, identify ways to avoid these
triggers, or be able to better manage potential
symptoms.
* Do Research: There is a wealth of information
on the Internet about IBS, other people’s
experiences and treatments. Stick to credible
Web sites and well-known manufacturers
when researching products. Bookstores and
libraries can also be good resources.
* Consider Probiotics: One area of growing
interest in managing IBS is probiotics, beneficial
bacteria that aid digestion while strengthening
the body’s natural defenses and supporting
a balance of healthy bacteria in the gastrointestinal
tract. Not all probiotic strains
are the same, and many probiotic products
that tout health benefits are not clinically
proven to be effective. Strain, packaging, and
manufacturing can all impact the effectiveness
of a probiotic.
One probiotic that has promising clinical
data in IBS is Bifantis (Bifidobacterium infantis
35624). Bifantis is a unique, patented probiotic
strain known to be isolated from a healthy
human colon and has clinically demonstrated
that, when taken regularly, it can help promote
digestive health. Key clinical trials published
in “Gastroenterology” and the
“American Journal of Gastroenterology”
found that Bifantis led to an improvement in
the cardinal symptoms of IBS including
abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, and
bloating. In addition, Bifantis was the only
probiotic cited in a recent “New England
Journal of Medicine” article to help with
bloating and IBS.
“It’s really important that people realize
that they don’t just have to live with IBS. This
condition can be effectively and successfully
managed,” says Dr. Chang.
For guidelines on how to pick a clinically
proven probiotic, please visit the
International Scientific Association for
Probiotics and Prebiotics Web site at:
www.ISAPP.net. For more information on
Bifantis and probiotics visit

Are You Eating Too Much Red Meat?
(SPM WIRE)
An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but too much red meat can increase your risk
of death, according to the first major study of meat’s impact on overall mortality.
Individuals who eat more red and processed meat have an increased risk of death from
all causes and also from cancer or heart disease over a 10-year period, according to a new
report in “Archives of Internal Medicine” journal.
The new study of more than half-a-million older and middle-aged Americans found that
men who eat the equivalent of a small quarter- pound hamburger daily face a 27 percent
higher risk of dying of heart disease and a 22 percent increased risk of cancer.
The numbers also are startling for women: those who eat large amounts of red meat
face a 50 percent increased risk of death by heart disease and a 20 percent higher risk of
dying of cancer.
By contrast, a higher intake of white meat appeared to be associated with a slightly
decreased risk for overall death and cancer death, concluded the researchers, who were
funded by the National Cancer Institute.

Eating Out Without
Packing On The Pounds
(STATEPOINT)
Eating out at restaurants
without growing
your waistline can be challenging,
as you’re often
faced with fattening choices
and have little control
over what goes into your
meals.
Luckily, there are many
ways to navigate a restaurant
menu without packing
on the pounds, say
experts.
“Over the past twenty
years there has been a dramatic
increase in serving
sizes at restaurants and an
abundance of food that is
high in fat or that has a
high glycemic index rating,
meaning it contains
certain carbohydrates
that break down quickly
and flood the body with
sugar,” says Rick Gallop,
bestselling author of the
new book, “The G.I. Diet
Clinic.”
“The wrong food choices
are fattening and only
leave us feeling hungry so
that we eat more,” he adds.
But you can enjoy
evenings out, simply by
making smarter food
choices and following
basic tips from Gallop and
his new book:
* Never go out hungry
or you’re likely to
overindulge. Have a small
high-fiber snack or meal,
such as a bowl of highfiber
cereal with skim
milk or non-fat yogurt.
* Once seated in a
restaurant, drink a glass
of water. It will help you
feel fuller.
* Once the bread basket
has been passed around,
with you ignoring it, ask
the server to remove it.
The longer it stays, the
more tempted you’ll be to
dig in.
* Order a soup or salad
first and tell the server to
bring it as soon as possible.
This will keep you
from sitting hungry while
others fill up on bread. Go
for vegetable- or beanbased
soups, the chunkier
the better. Avoid creambased
soups. Keep salad
dressing on the side. Then
you can use a fraction of
what the restaurant would
normally apply. Avoid
Caesar salads which come
pre-dressed.
* Ask for double vegetables
instead of a starchy
side dish.
* Stick with low-fat cuts
of meat or poultry. If necessary,
remove the skin
before eating. Fish and
shellfish are excellent
choices but shouldn’t be
breaded or battered.
Servings tend to be generous
in restaurants, so eat
only four to six ounces
(the size of a pack of
cards).
* Ask for any sauces for
your meat to be served on
the side.
* Eat slowly to allow
your brain to realize
you’re full. Put your fork
down between mouthfuls.
* Use moderation and
common sense. Don’t feel
guilty about leaving food
on your plate.
* If you really want an
alcoholic beverage, bypass
beer and fancy cocktails
and choose a white wine
spritzer or a glass of dry
red wine. Limit yourself
to one drink and then
switch to club soda.
Consume alcohol with
food to slow the rate at
which you metabolize it.
* For dessert, fresh fruit
and berries without ice
cream are your best
choice. If a birthday cake
is being passed around,
share your piece with
someone. A couple of forkfuls
with your coffee
should get you off the
hook.
* Order only decaffeinated
coffee.
For more tips on how to
achieve permanent and
healthy weight, read
Gallop’s new book, The
G.I. Diet Clinic” or visit
www.gidiet.com.
“Don’t be too hard on
yourself if you fall off the
wagon. It’s bound to happen
sometime, so just get
back on,” he stresses.
Money-Saving Advice: Tips
for Clipping Coupons Online
(SPM WIRE)
A tried and true way to save money in a
tough economy is clipping coupons. Because
of the Internet, however, a savvy consumer no
longer has to wield a pair of scissors in order
to reap rewards.
The popularity of online coupons is on the
rise and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) is
advising consumers on how to identify a deal
while avoiding deceptive offers.
Indeed, the number of American adults
using online coupons rose by 39 percent to 36
million between 2005 and 2008, according to a
survey conducted by Simmons/Experian
Research and Coupons, Inc. The survey also
found that online users account for nearly
one-quarter of the total 148 million consumers
who use coupons.
“We’re all looking for ways to save money
and redeeming online coupons is growing in
popularity as a result,” said Steve Cox, BBB
spokesperson. “Some coupons, however, are
not as great a deal as they may appear and consumers
should use caution when clicking on
coupons online.”
The BBB is offering some helpful advice on
redeeming online coupons:
* Check to see if the coupon is being offered
directly by the store or by a third-party, such
as a partner or affiliate. If it is via a thirdparty,
they might ask for additional info or
require that the consumer sign up for additional
services to redeem the coupon. If so,
BBB recommends using extreme caution
before divulging any personal information
and consumers can check the company out,
free of charge, at www.bbb.org.
* Coupon clickers should be wary of pop-up
ad coupon offers that require you to immediately
click to redeem. Clicking on the ad may
automatically sign the consumer up for services
they were not interested in receiving,
causing them to be billed monthly.
* Carefully read the terms and conditions
for the use of a coupon, check for the expiration
date, limitations of use and whether it is
an online coupon good for only online purchases
or if it can also be redeemed at a physical
store location.
* Because some stores are concerned about
fraud related to online coupons, not all businesses
are eager to redeem them. Contact the
store where you wish to use the coupon directly
to find out whether the coupon is being honored
or not.
* Be extremely cautious if the coupon
requires that the consumer call the company
to redeem the value of the coupon, and/or has
any requirement to give personal information.
* Don’t fall for phony coupons via e-mail.
Many fake coupons have been making the
rounds via e-mail, and just because it may
come from a friend or family member, don’t
assume the coupon is legitimate.

FAMILY
Fun Educational Activities For Summer
(STATEPOINT)
It’s time for summer fun for
you and your children. But
don’t just ward off summer
boredom — enjoy fun activities
together that can keep
kids’ minds sharp in the
process.
“When school is in recess
during the summer, parents
become their child’s primary
teacher. But parents don’t
have to be experts in family
literacy to read effectively
with their children or mathematicians
to play games that
help them develop arithmetic
skills,” says Sharon Darling,
president and founder of the
National Center for Family
Literacy (NCFL). “There are
many things you can do
together this summer that
can stimulate kids’ minds
without them even realizing
they’re learning.”
Here are some suggestions
for fun educational summer
activities from the NCFL and
educators who have won the
non-profit organization’s
Toyota Family Literacy
Teacher of the Year over the
previous 13 years:
* Tie family outings to
books. Create an activity
around a book that you read
with your child. Have the
child look at the pictures and
tell the story in his or her own
words or create a song about
the book. Then, follow up
with a related outing. If the
book is about animals, take a
trip to the zoo or the park. Go
to the beach or a lake if the
book has scenes taking place
near or on the water.
* Have your children illustrate
stories and engage them
in dialogue about their artwork.
Keep an album of their
artwork so the family can
continue to talk about it and
so children can see their
progress.
* Take advantage of the
warm weather and grow a
garden together. You don’t
need a large space, even a
window garden will suffice.
Pick flowers or vegetables
that will grow quickly so children
can see fast progress.
* Bring science home by
borrowing science experiment
books from the library
and then trying them together.
Pick some that take advantage
of the warm weather.
* Make summer car trips
educational. Play games
where children count objects,
match shapes or colors that
they can see from the car windows.
* Sing with young children
every day to help them make
transitions. Make up songs
that talk about daily activities
such as waking up in the
morning, walking down the
street, going to the store or
going to the beach. This can
help prepare them for participating
in family activities and
even for making the transition
to attend school.
For more ideas visit
www.famlit.org.
“Children imitate and emulate
their parents, so it’s
important they see parents
reading for pleasure and that
there are printed materials in
the home,” says Darling.
“Parents are their children’s
first and most effective teachers.
It’s up to them to instill in
them a lifelong love of reading,
learning and thinking.”
Children can illustrate stories and keep albums of their artwork over the summer.
Keep Kids Reading To
Prevent ‘Summer Slide
Kids can beat ‘learning loss’ by reading four or more books each summer.
(STATEPOINT)
Summer is a time for kids to relax,
but all that free time can have a serious
downside. Children suffer learning
losses over the summer simply
by being out of school, an effect
known as the “summer slide.”
These losses can create even wider
gaps between more and less proficient
readers. And the challenge of
maintaining skills gets greater after
age eight when, studies show, reading
frequency drops dramatically
and continues to decline through the
teen years.
But kids can combat the “summer
slide” by reading four or more ageappropriate
books each summer.
Research indicates kids who do so
fare better on reading-comprehension
tests when they return to school
than those who read one or no books.
Best of all, summer reading is
inexpensive. Five books cost the
same as a tank of gas, or you can get
them free at the library.
“Encouraging a love of reading is
one of the easiest things parents can
do to keep kids ahead of the curve,
and it’s a perfect, low-cost summer
activity,” said Francie Alexander,
Chief Academic Officer of
Scholastic, “You can take books anywhere:
on car rides or airplanes, or if
you’re not traveling this summer,
take a trip through books!”
* Get Started and Carded: Just like
planning a vacation is part of the
fun, get kids thinking about books to
read over the summer. Visit the
library and get a library card, as kids
like “official” documents with their
names on them.
* Start a Series - Bet You Can’t
Read Just One: If you match the
right child to the right book in a
series, the reading habit will grow.
Teachers, librarians or booksellers
can advise you on the best series.
* Books to Go: Audio books are
great for getting kids to experience
more books through listening. They
also make car trips more bearable
and “are we there yet” is heard less
often.
* Start a Summer Book Collection:
Just like collecting rocks or
seashells, collect books with summer
themes. Put them in a fun box or container
and take them out to celebrate
summer.
* Tech It Up: Look for reading
opportunities when your child is
using the computer. Find books tied
to Web sites, such as “The 39 Clues,”
or visit Scholastic’s Summer
Challenge sie to read and earn
points.
Scholastic, together with The
National Center for Summer
Learning at Johns Hopkins
University and Save the Children, is
launching the Scholastic Summer
Challenge, a free Web site that gets
kids excited about summer reading.
Kids can visit
www.scholastic.com/summer to join
the Challenge and other kids to
record their minutes spent reading,
earn points for their team, play
games and read for a cause, with
donations going to Save the
Children’s U.S. programs.
Parents can explore the site to get
advice from education experts, and
find summer book lists and articles
in English and Spanish.
Check out these great books to get
kids reading this summer:
Ages 5-7
* “Funny Farm” by Mark Teague
* “Too Many Toys” by David
Shannon

‘Ticking’ Down to the
Height of Pest Season
(SPM Wire)
As temperatures rise, ticks can cause significant threats to
your family’s health and your property. Typically living in trees
and shrubbery, ticks are most prevalent in summer months,
warns the National Pest Management Association (NPMA)
Ticks can be brought into your home on your body or on your
pet and even can infest a home by nesting in cracks, behind baseboards
and in places close to the floor.
Being vigilant is your best bet to help protect your family from
tick encounters this summer, say the experts at NPMA:
* Avoid tick habitats such as low-growing brushy vegetation
along the edge of the woods or a trail.
* Wear light-colored clothing; tuck pant legs into socks and
shirt bottoms into pants, to make ticks more readily visible.
* Apply repellents with DEET to clothing and any exposed
skin.
* Check yourself thoroughly after you have been in known or
potential tick-infested areas; finding and removing all ticks in a
timely manner is critical to preventing disease.
* If you suspect a tick infestation, contact a licensed pest professional
to rid your property of these unwanted pests and prevent
future infestations.

Juicy Barbeque Tips From
the ‘Raciest’ Chefs in the US
(StatePoint)
It’s barbecue season and backyard
chefs have begun firing up
their grills nationwide in the
never-ending quest for spicier,
juicier and zestier fare.
Also bellying up to the grill this
season are award-winning BBQ
Pit Masters, who are serving-up
hot tips and sizzling barbecue,
alike, at innovative barbecue competitions
at NASCAR events
across the country. Armed with
dry rubs and tangy sauces, the Pit
Masters will be competing in the
Prilosec OTC BBQ Shootout
Series for tens of thousands of
dollars in prize money and bragging
rights — while sharing the
spicy results with fans.
National Champion Pit Master
Mike Davis of Lotta Bull
Barbeque in Oklahoma, who is
participating in the Shootout
Series, is sharing some of his
secrets to keep your grill in high
demand no matter where you fireup:
* When cooking larger cuts of
meat, always use an indirect heat
as a source. Using the direct heat
method will char the outside of
the meat without allowing the
inside to cook properly.
* When grilling, use a “smoker”
box of aromatic hardwoods such
as mesquite, hickory or pecan to
give that distinctive wood smoked
flavor.
* Use olive oil or any other cooking
oil to coat the surface of vegetables
to add crispness and to
hold on spices and seasonings.
* Using a spray or baste during
cooking will help keep the meat
moist and flavorful and will help
to keep the meat from drying out
during the cooking process.
* A mustard slather can be used
to thoroughly coat the meat to
help hold spices and seasonings
in place during preparation.
* Pay careful attention to pork
and poultry when grilling; you
must make sure both meats are
properly cooked through.
* Always grill in a well ventilated
area, away from eaves and
overhangs that can trap toxic
fumes.
Those who are nervous about
being held back by their frequent
heartburn or heartburn that
occurs two or more days a week,
can start Prilosec OTC, the number
one frequent heartburn medication,
two weeks leading up to
an event — so they can dive in and
enjoy the foods they love and the
race day excitement.
Davis and other competing Pit
Masters will be firing up all different
kinds of barbeque from
Kansas City style to Texas style
during the Shootout Series. To
watch televised Prilosec OTC
BBQ Shootout Series segments,
tune into SPEED TV. If you’re out
at the track on competition dates
you can visit the Prilosec OTC
competition display to sample
best-in-class barbeque and help

Foundation.

Tough To Think of a Jeep As a Seven-Passenger
People Mover, But the Commander Is
BY KEITH GRIFFIN
Does an off-road vehicle really need to
carry three rows of passengers? I guess
so under certain circumstances, but I’ve
never thought of Jeeps as people movers.
Sure they can handle a family of five
going to an off-road campsite, but does
Jeep really need a vehicle that can handle
seven?
My verdict is no. But give the company
high marks for trying extra hard to earn
your business this year, just in case you
are for some reason in the market for this
kind of off-road vehicle.
Topping the list would be the
Commander now features an available
5.7-Liter HEMI engine capable of 357
horsepower and 389 lb.-ft. of torque. Jeep
says it provides better fuel economy,
improved idle quality and overall refinement,
along with an 8.2 percent increase
in horsepower and a 3.7 percent increase
in torque compared with the previous
generation engine.
The new HEMI engine also gives drivers
its fuel-saving multi-displacement
system technology, which alternates
between smooth, high-fuel-economy fourcylinder
mode when less power is needed
and V-8 mode when more power is in
demand, according to Jeep. Fuel economy
is rated at 13 mpg city and 19 mpg highway.
Remember, though, these fuel numbers
aren’t based on a truck full of people
and their stuff. So, you’ll never see fuel
numbers like this.
I liked this engine because it has gobs of
torque, yet it is remarkably civil to drive
around town in every day conditions.
This Hemi is not going to light up any
drag races, but it is a good engine.
The 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engines are
mated to a five-speed automatic transmission.
According to Jeep, this transmission’s
high torque capacity gives
Commander class-leading towing capacity
of 7,400 lbs., equal to that of the Jeep
Grand Cherokee. The transmission features
Electronic Range Select driver
interactive shift control. The shifter provides
fully automated shifting when in
the “Drive” position. Or the driver can
manually select each gear by simply moving
the shifter left and right from the
“Drive” position. This gives the driver the
ability to precisely match any on-road or
off-road driving requirement – and it’s a
feature I didn’t use once in a week of driving.
You probably wouldn’t either.
Admittedly I denigrated the need for
three rows of seats in a Jeep but the three
The 2009 Jeep Commander looks compact from the outside, but on the inside it accommodates seven in three rows of theater style seating.
rows are a pretty good arrangement. The
seats are positioned theater-style: the second
row is higher than the first; the third
row is higher than the second. According
to Jeep, additional headroom is created
by raising the roof over the second row
by 3.15 inches higher compared with the
first row, which produces a stepped effect.
The second-row seats split 40/20/40; the
third row is split 50/50. The middle and
third rows fold forward to create a flat
load floor for maximum utility. Behind
the third row is a storage bin, located in
the load floor.
The model loaned to me by Jeep for a
week had the available CommandView
skylights. These dual skylights of tinted
glass are packaged with the power sun
roof that is positioned above the front
passengers. Standard on Commander
Limited, the package expands the vehicle’s
sense of interior roominess as Jeep
puts it. The CommandView Skylights
also have roller shades that can be used to
block out light when desired. An optional
rear-seat DVD player is located between
the skylights. My four-year old daughter
liked the skylights, but they weren’t a
selling point for me nor were they a point
of distraction.
Safety isn’t as much a concern as it
would have been with older-model Jeeps
that were top heavy. The Commander has
standard electronic stability program,
brake assist, electronic roll mitigation,
parksense rear park assist system, and
side-curtain air bags with extended roll
protection. I’m surprised the rollover rating
from the government is only three
stars with the electronic stability program.
The frontal crash numbers are perfect
at five stars for the driver and passenger
side. No side crash numbers have
been developed yet.
The price of the Commander Overland
4x4 is $45,710. The model loaned to us by
Jeep had the optional rear entertainment
group that added $1720 to the bottom line
for a total cost of $48,210 when the $780
destination charge was added. However,
you’ll probably do much better at the
dealer because of strong incentive programs.
