Schools 

approve 

$14.7M 

budget 

Boss 

BY PATRICK SKAHILL 

TIMES STAFF WRITER 

OXFORD — School Committee 

members signed off on a $14.7 

million draft budget Monday, Feb. 

23, the first step on the document’s 

ongoing journey to the 

Town Meeting floor in May. 

The budget, which officials 

characterized as “level-serviced,” 

features a 3.5-percent increase 

over FY09. It was reviewed by the 

Finance Committee Wednesday, 

Feb. 25, after the Webster Times’ 

deadline.

CALVARY GROUP 

PREPARES 

FOR FIRST-EVER 

MISSIONS TRIP 



DUDLEY — For months, parishioners 

at the Calvary Assembly of God 

have been opening their arms to the 

community locally. Now, as volunteers 

gear up for the church’s first-ever overseas 

mission trip, organizers are hoping 

to transfer that spirit of selflessness 

to the world at large. 

From Thursday, April 30, to Monday, 

May 11, seven volunteers from 

Calvary’s Mens Group will embark on 

a trip to Glasgow, Scotland. There they 

will spearhead a number of renovation 

projects at Bridgeton Life Church, an 

inner-city parish located in the city’s 

somewhat troubled eastern end. 

All the projects will center on remodeling, 

repairing and beautifying the 

parish with the hopes that changes to 

the church’s inside will draw more 

parishioners into the church. 

According to Calvary Pastor Patrick 

O’Loughlin, Bridgeton Life has a number 

of rooms in need of serious work. 

During their trip, volunteers will 

strip wallpaper, plaster walls, paint 

rooms and work on carpeting. 

Bridgeton Life’s sound system also 

needs some work and the bathroom 

needs a substantial overhaul. 

Additionally, Calvary’s parishioners

for the trip, which will renovate the Bridgeton Life Church in the inner city of Glasgow, 

Scotland. 

also hope to remodel a room for youth 

ministries at the parish. 

Thus far, Calvary raised in excess of 

$8,000 for the mission trip.

Relay for Life of Auburn announces expansion plans 

Teresa A. Franco 

OXFORD, MILLBURY, LEICESTER TO BE INCLUDED IN REGIONAL EVENT 

Due to an increase in participation 

from surrounding 

towns, the Relay for Life of 

Auburn recently announced 

it would expand to include 

the surrounding towns of 

Oxford, Millbury and 

Leicester. This is in the 

hopes that the event will 

inspire participants to 

donate funds for cancer 

research and also increase 

the popularity of the Relay. 

BY TERESA A. FRANCO 

STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER 

Citing increased participation 

from outside towns, the Relay for 

Life of Auburn recently announced 

it is looking to spread its wings further 

this year in hopes it will raise 

even more money in the fight 

against cancer. 

Local Relay for Life organizers 

are in the process of including the 

towns of Leicester, Oxford and 

Millbury to their coverage area for 

this year’s Relay, which will be held 

Friday, Sept. 11, and Saturday, Sept. 

12, at Lemansky Park in Auburn. 

As a result of including more 

towns, the name of the relay will be 

changed to “Relay for Life of 

Central South County.” 

Relay for Life of Auburn co- 

Chairman Steven Gallant, one of 

the organizers who motivated the 

expansion, said that at last year’s 

Relay for Life, out of the 350 participants, 

only 155 were from Auburn 

–– the rest were from outside towns. 

Gallant said he thinks that 

including the other towns will generate 

more revenue. He said for 

each of the Relay’s five years of 

existence, it has “barely broke

A move to ‘restore public trust’ 

STATE LAWMAKERS PASS ETHICS REFORM RULE 



Lawmakers in the Massachusetts House of 

Representatives passed a broad rules reform package, 

Thursday, Feb. 12, aimed at paving the way for 

what they characterize as a “more transparent” 

upcoming legislative session. 

“We are entering a session where the need to 

restore public trust is, and should be, every legislators’ 

number one priority,” said State Rep. Paul 

Kujawski, D-Webster. “We have to do our best to be 

transparent.” 

“The focus right now is reform,” 

agreed State Rep. Geraldo Alicea, D- 

Charlton. “There have been some 

concerns from many of the constituents 

that [the House] hasn’t 

been as transparent as it should be 

… so that’s been the focus with the 

new Speaker.” 

Adopted by the House earlier this 

month, the rules package targets 

Webster recycling rate among best in state 



WEBSTER — Despite a widespread 

downturn in the national 

and international recycling market, 

Webster residents continue to do 

their part in keeping 

Massachusetts green. 

Last week, the Webster Recycling 

Commission announced record 

recycling rates at the Webster 

Transfer Station, reporting 264.83 

tons of trash and 252.15 tons of 

recyclables ran through the facility 

in the month of December. 

“This near 50 percent recycling 

Kujawski 

Turn To TRUST, page 16 

rate is one of the best in the 

state, and we are very proud 

of the citizens who have 

made the effort to separate 

recyclables from their 

trash,” said Webster 

Recycling Commission 

Secretary Elizabeth 

Procter-Gray. “Thank 

you to the citizens and to 

Little River Recycling for 

helping to keep Webster 

green.” 

According to the commission, 

Little River took over the transfer 

station in December 2007. All residents 

of Webster are able to 

use the facility, which 

currently charges no fee 

for the disposal of 

recyclable goods. 

With market 

prices for recyclables 

rapidly 

falling, however, 

Proctor-Gray said it 

was “understandable” 

that this process may not 

continue indefinitely.

District to address dropout rate 



DUDLEY — The owners of Oxford-based 

Greenpath Transcripts, Amy Resnick and 

Jason Howard, are focused on service. 

During the day, they transcribe audio and 

video for an impressive number of clients, 

including notable authors Kathleen Adams, 

Dr. David Van Nuys and Marsha Scarbrough. 

“We understand our clients’ need for translating 

the spoken word to the written word,” 

said Howard. “Much of our work comes from 

capturing interviews, lectures, book projects, 

oral histories, focus groups, and dissertations.” 

Because both Resnick and Howard feel it’s 

important to give back to their community, 

they looked on Craig’s list and found a posted 

plea for volunteers at the Community Cat 

Connection (CCC). So on the weekends, you 

can find these two small business partners

WEBSTER — Officials earlier this month told 

School Committee members they are continuing 

work aimed at combating a 20.8-percent dropout 

rate at Bartlett Jr./Sr. High School — an 

announcement following state reports chronicling 

rising dropout rates throughout Worcester 

County. 

According to Principal Michael Hackenson, 

Bartlett reported a 72.7-percent graduation rate 

for the 2007-2008 school year. 

This number, however, does not account for a 

fifth year typically factored into the data, which 

includes students held back and those obtaining 

GEDs. 

Such numbers presumably will boost the 

graduation rate by several percentage points, 

school officials said. 

Hackenson did not pull punches as he 

explained the numbers to School Committee 

members Tuesday, Feb. 10, saying the district 

needs to “look at our own resources and think 

how we can better teach those kids” who are not 

obtaining diplomas. 

“Those [dropout] numbers are real,” 

Hackenson said. “We were able to download 

from the DOE [Department of Education] every 

single one of those kids to find out where they 

went and why.” 

Some students leave to enter the work force, 

he said, while others get out of school due to 

early pregnancies or run-ins with the law. 

Many, however, just leave because they lose 

interest. 

This cohort of students usually departs during 

or after their junior year and Hackenson 

said staffers at Bartlett are working hard to 

increase retention rates in this subgroup. 

One program, “Virtual High School,” should 

help boost retention rates, he said. 

Virtual High School is expected to launch during 

the 2009-2010 school year and will include 

more than 100 courses — all of which will go 

toward credits at Bartlett. 

According to Superintendent Gregory Ciardi, 

everything from Caribbean Art History to business 

and personal law, advanced placement 

courses and foreign languages will be offered. 

“We’re excited about this and we think it may 

be an opportunity for kids who are on the edge 

and thinking, ‘Is there anything at that school 

for me?’” Ciardi said. 

School Committee members raised concerns 

as to whether or not poor performance on the 

MCAS was the tipping point for these “on the 

edge” students, but Hackenson said many of the 

students dropping out had passed the state-mandated 

test. 

Ciardi said this brought administrators’ 

thoughts back around to how grading was being 

done at the school and said teachers at Bartlett 

need to re-examine how to strike the appropriate 

balance between “too easy” and “too tough.” 

“Somewhere between those two extremes is 

the right balance point and I think that the faculty 

at that high school needs to have that conversation,” 

he said. “Because if the balance 

point now is at a point where 20 percent of the 

students feel that they are in a hole that is too 

deep and they can’t get out of it, then a conversation 

has to take place about what we can do to 

support those kids who haven’t figured it out yet 

that, ‘I’ve got to [graduate] — and not every kid 

figures that out at the same time.” 

School Committee member Martina Gorski- 

Strong agreed, saying the school must also make 

an effort to form positive adult connections with 

at-risk students — connection which will hopefully 

bind them more strongly to the school and 

see them through until graduation. 

Chairman Michael Makara echoed this sentiment 

and expressed his hopes that the Virtual 

High School, alongside possible night classes

cat shelter in Webster. They work hard to 

make sure cages provide a comfortable temporary 

shelter for cats abandoned in foreclosed 

homes. 

“It’s harder than ever to find people to volunteer,” 

said Dorothy Millhofer, CCC volunteer 

coordinator. “These kind souls are the 

heart of our all-volunteer shelter.” 

With the help of Oxford Animal Control, 

CCC recently rescued two abandoned cats 

from a Norwood Court foreclosed home. 

“These two cats were waiting on the stoop for 

their family to return and feed them,” said 

Millhofer. “It was heartbreaking to think 

that the owners just left them behind … We 

particularly need responsible volunteers to 

help clean the cages on Saturday morning 

and to fill-in when regular volunteers are 

sick or one vacation.”

“I think there’s a variety of ways to go after to 

hold onto these kids, because the bottom line is 

that it is our responsibility,” he said. 

In other business, officials commended the 

staff at Park Avenue Elementary School for 

their quick response to a power outage earlier 

this month. 

The outage, which occurred during the afternoon 

hours of Wednesday, Feb. 4, was caused by 

damage to an underground cable. 

School officials contacted National Grid about 

the problem and ultimately deployed an outside 

contractor to replace the damaged line the following 

day. 

Students were back in school by Friday of the 

same week. 

Assistant to the Superintendent for Business 

Ted Avlas praised building staffers for their 

quick response to the situation saying, “What 

could have been an extended interruption of 

education was handled in less than 36 hours, 

which I thought was amazing.” 

Avlas said he expects costs for the work to be 

“significant,” but covered by insurance. The district 

will, however, have to shell out for a $2,500 

deductible. 

Rather than push the make up day to the end 

of the year, Ciardi said students will go to class 

Friday, March 20, a date previously scheduled 

for professional development. 

School officials earlier this month also graciously 

accepted a generous $10,000 donation 

from local benefactor Marilyn Fels. 

Much like an identical gift given to the 

Dudley-Charlton Regional School District, Fels 

said the $10,000 could be used for arts, music and 

athletics at the school. 

Principals will submit proposals for use of the 

money in coming weeks.

Sheriff’s office aims to ‘go green’ with wind turbine 

• THE WEBSTER TIMES • 3 

BY TERESA A. FRANCO 

NEWS STAFF WRITER 

Editor’s Note: This is part one of a two-part 

interview with Worcester County Sheriff Guy 

Glodis. Check out next week’s Auburn News for 

the conclusion. 

Worcester County 

Sheriff Guy Glodis has 

been in the political arena 

THE for 14 years, but he is only 

40 years old as of 

WEBSTER Wednesday, Feb. 25. 

Glodis, a longtime 

TIMES Auburn resident, is celebrating 

his birthday with a 

INTERVIEW party Wednesday at the 

Hanover Theatre for the 

Performing Arts in 

Worcester. Many officials 

will be in attendance at the celebration, 

including U.S. Congressmen James P. 

McGovern, Worcester County District 

Attorney Joseph Early Jr. and Central Mass. 

AFL-CIO President Joseph Carlson. 

Glodis has devoted a substantial amount of 

time as sheriff to improving communities. He 

has saved towns and cities tremendous 

amounts of money by increasing the productivity 

of the community service programs, 

where inmates go out into the towns and perform 

community service projects. The program 

has completed projects such as painting 

for Auburn schools, construction of the 

Blackstone Town Hall, painting the Leicester 

Town Hall, work for Camp Laurelwood in 

Spencer, construction of the Charlton 

Historical Museum, floor tiling at Southbridge 

High School and construction and painting for 

the Clara Barton Center in Oxford. 

Glodis’ latest project is installing a wind 

turbine at the jail in West Boylston, which is 

aiming to save the jail and surrounding towns 

money. 

Recently, the Auburn News sat down with 

Glodis to talk about the projects he has underway 

and about his career — and turning 40. 

Are you expecting a big turnout for 

your party? 

“Yeah, actually I’m going be 40 years old. To 

me, the milestone Wednesday night isn’t that 

I’m turning 40, it’s that I’ve been in the business 

for 14 years. It’s incredible because I got 

elected into the house in my mid-20s and then 

to the Senate. So, that’s really gone by fast. I 

really, really enjoy the job, it’s a fun job. It’s 

one of the few jobs you get paid to help people, 

that’s what I enjoy about it the most. Running 

a jail is a very, very challenging job. You don’t 

come to work and get a lot of good news. In 

the Senate it was all about good news. You’re 

opening up schools, opening up libraries, 

you’re finding housing for people, health care 

–– it’s all good news. In the jail, it’s a lot of 

negative. That took a lot of getting used to 

from really dealing with a lot of good news 

consistently to trying to correct a lot of bad 

news … But I enjoy it, I like it and I like a

Two area lawmakers have several interesting 

bills up their sleeves for this legislative session. 

Both state Sen. Stephen Brewer, D-Barre, and 

his colleague, state Rep. Geraldo Alicea, D- 

Charlton, have filed several bills this year as 

part of their legislative agenda. Most of the 

bills focus on public safety, improving the economic 

situation and several other initiatives. 

Two of Brewer’s bills are aimed at personal 

safety. 

One would modify the missing persons 

reporting system and was filed on behalf of the 

family of Molly Bish, according to a press 

release from the senator. The 16-year-old lifeguard 

was kidnapped and killed in 2000 while 

working at Comins Pond in Warren. 

Another of Brewer’s bills would require 

minors swimming at a state or town run camp 

to wear a floatation device. It would also 

require docks that extend beyond the swimming 

area to be enclosed. That bill, according 

to Brewer’s Senate office, was filed on behalf of 

the family of 4-year-old Christian Frechette, 

who drowned in 2007 while playing at a townrun

Brewer said he is personally familiar with 

the issue because his brother, Max, drowned 

when he was just four years old at a Charlton 

pond. 

“If you save the life of a child, you save the 

world,” he said, quoting Magi Bish.

challenge. I think at my age I should be challenged 

and I should be motivated and I’m both 

in this job.” 

We understand the Worcester County 

Jail has been doing many things to 

become more economically friendly. 

minors and senior citizens, and is keeping the 

focus on those topics this year, but is also filing 

bills to help deal with the brutal economy. One 

of the initiatives Alicea said he is sponsoring 

would address housing prices in an effort to 

make finding a home more affordable. 

“We need to make it more affordable for families 

to purchase a home,” he said. 

Another bill Alicea said he filed would protect 

consumers from predatory auto lenders 

who pledge to pay part of an owner’s bill, but 

the owner’s soon see their share increase. A 

Southbridge woman, he said, fell victim to the 

scam. 

“Some owners are not really aware [of this],” 

he said. 

Minors are also on his list of people to protect. 

He filed a bill to protect minors from teachers 

or other authority figures from seducing 

them into a sexual relationship. 

“There is a lot of interest [in the bill],” he 

said. 

Newspapers and taxpayers might be interested 

in another of Brewer’s bills — one that could 

strengthen the state’s Open Meeting Law. 

The current version of the law requires 

meetings of public bodies to be held in open 

session, but there are eight exceptions allowing

“We’ve gone through a little bit of a metamorphism, 

change in our mission at the jail. 

Our original –– and it still is our main mission 

–– is the care, control, custody and the 

rehabilitation of inmates. That is has basically 

been our foundation and that’s our core 

mission. When I became sheriff, however, I 

put an additional mission of being more community 

orientated. We wanted to be a good 

community partner. We teamed up with a lot 

of police departments to help find grants –– 

we’ve got a mobile command vehicle that 

police and fire departments use throughout 

Worcester County. We have a senior triad program 

where we go into different council on 

aging [senior centers] and offer them free 

resources and free assistance and free help. 

And that was our mission three or four years 

ago. However, in the last six months with the 

real severe meltdown in our economy, our 

newest mission –– and we still have all of the 

above –– but now our other mission is to save 

money –– to save money for taxpayers. 

We’ve done that in different ways. One, 

we’ve had an energy audit at the jail. Two, we 

became more competitive with our bidding 

process to save money for taxpayers. Three, 

we’ve restructured the jail, eliminating different 

dual management positions and actually 

reducing our staff two months ago. The fourth 

thing we’ve done is expanded our community 

service programs. Where inmates go out into 

the towns like Spencer, Auburn and 

Southbridge and they perform community 

service projects in schools, non profits, little 

leagues, fire stations, police stations, beautification, 

restoration projects that has literally 

saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in 

local budgets and that’s something we’re very 

proud of. And the last thing we’ve done more 

recently is we’ve obtained a grant to put up a 

wind turbine at the jail.” 

How much progress has been made on 

the wind turbine project? 

“We just installed the 165-foot test tower on 

the grounds of the facility, which will basically 

gauge the wind speed, direction and turbulence 

of the air. But we’ve been told that this 

West Boylston facility would be a great host 

site for a wind turbine because it’s at an elevated 

level. So, what we plan on doing is having 

a wind turbine that’s expected to produce 

5.2 million kilowatts of electricity per year. 

That will be enough to cover all our electricity 

and utility costs at the jail, saving taxpayers 

about $750,000 a year. What we then intend to 

do, two years from now, is take it another step 

and install two more wind turbines to have a 

total of three. We’re planning on having a 

mini wind farm at the jail, not only to save 

electrical costs at the jail and our taxpayers, 

but more importantly to resell surplus electricity 

to neighboring host communities at 

retail value. Which, again, are ways we are 

trying now in our economic downturn on 

thinking not only how we can be a good community 

partner, but how can we save money 

in this cash-strapped time. And we’ve done it 

with restructuring, we’ve done with lowering 

our workers’ comp costs, we’ve done it with 

our community service programs and now 

we’re doing it up here with our wind turbine 

to greatly reduce and save $750,000 in electricity, 

and in the foreseeable future, to be able to 

sell that electricity back at wholesale costs. 

That’s our plan, at least. 

When I became sheriff, I was really committed 

to reinventing the image of the sheriff ’s 

office. It was really looked at as an antiquated, 

county jail and I wanted to reinvent it to a 

more proactive, modern, public agency committed 

to fighting crime, rehabilitating 

inmates and providing community services 

for the towns and cities of Worcester County. 

And I think we’ve had a lot of success in that. 

We’ve had several awards last year for innovation. 

For the first time in the history of the 

Worcester County Sheriff ’s Office we became 

accredited by the American Accreditation 

Association, which is a huge milestone. That 

means we have to meet certain standards in 

our day-to-day policies with the jail. We’ve 

been able to really, I think, bring a lot of 

progress to a jail that a lot of people thought 

five years ago wasn’t plausible to be accredited 

or to be a modern jail or to be a proactive 

community servant.”

Lawmakers aim to take initiative in ’09 

ALICEA, BREWER WORKING ON BILLS 

matters to be discussed in executive session. 

The bill would create a new office within the 

Attorney General’s office that would investigate 

complaints. The local county District 

Attorney offices currently carry out the investigations. 

The bill would also require officials to allow 

the public to view e-mails and any communications 

involving a quorum of members. 

“Sunlight is the best disinfectant,” he said. 

“The fourth estate is the conduit for that. We 

need to have an open and transparent process.” 

Other topics are also on their agendas, both 

lawmakers said. 

Brewer said much of the session will be 

spent on dealing with the state’s budget crisis. 

Alicea and Brewer each said they want to focus 

on reforming the pension system for state 

employees. 

Alicea stressed the necessity of that effort. 

“A large portion of our budget goes to pension 

pay,” he said, adding some people who get 

them “probably have not worked for a long period 

of time.” 

Noting the slog it sometimes takes to push 

bills through, Brewer said he won’t give up. 

“We fight for the things we believe in,” he 

said.

Company chosen to head library building project 

PHOTO OF THE WEEK 

NEW FACILITY WILL 

SEE MANY ‘GREEN’ 

INITIATIVES 

BY JOY RICHARD 


DUDLEY — A work in progress 

since 1999, the new Pearle J. 

Crawford Memorial Library project 

is inching closer to completion, with 

the recent announcement that a company 

has been chosen to head the 

project. 

Strategic Building Solutions, of 

Old Saybrook, Conn., was chosen by 

the Library Building Committee to 

complete the work. The amount of 

the bid for the project has not been 

made public. 

The site of the facility will be 

moved from its original location, on 1 

Village St., to 40 Schofield Ave., the 

former home of Town Hall. 

The construction should begin for 

the new facility in early April. A tentative 

ceremony for the groundbreaking 

is being planned for 

Saturday, April 4. 

According to Library Director 

Jane Cain, the new building will be 

better suited for the town’s evergrowing 

population of more than 

10,000, as opposed to the 3,553 that 

were residents at the time that the 

library was first built in 1901. In the 

new facility, there will be much more 

room for the always-expanding collection 

of books and resources (more 

than 20,000), that the library has collected 

over time. 

The library will be helpful in serving 

the new, diverse needs of the 

community as far as technology goes 

as well as accommodating Mother 

Nature with improvements in the 

technology used for heating, cooling 

and lighting. 

These different ways of helping 

keep things in tune with the ecosystem 

are all certified as well as with 

all of the other aspects 

of the library by the 

Leadership in Energy 

and Environment 

Design (LEED) certification. 

“[The new library will 

be] one of the two facilities 

in the country to be 

LEED certified,” Cain 

said, adding that it is 

nothing new to be going 

the “green” route with 

new buildings — in 

fact, it is becoming the 

norm. 

Other environmentally 

friendly features 

include putting fewer 

impermeable surfaces 

on the site. This means 

that the amount of 

asphalt and concrete used will be 

much less than in any other complex 

around the area. This is better for the 

environment, due to the issue of 

runoff. The more asphalt and other 

impermeable surfaces, the more 

water that is going to runoff of the 

area. This causes erosion and possible 

flooding of surrounding roads 

and land. Taking the fact that they 

thought to fix this common issue 

ahead of time into thought, is a sign 

that even locally, people are starting 

to think more toward the benefiting 

the land and its ecosystems, as well 

as the town. 

The building itself will be one level 

spanning 16,750 square feet. 

Currently, costs for the facility are 

hovering around $6.7 million and 

construction is estimated at $5 million. 

Funding is in part being done by a 

grant given by the Webster Dudley 

Boys and Girls Club in an effort to 

see more teen involvement in the 

library. Cain said the library has “a 

good relationship with the Boys and 

Girls Club,” adding, “The teens will 

be asked what they want to see in the 

building to make it more suited for

In April, Pearle J. Crawford Memorial Library officials hope 

to begin construction on a new library, a library that will 

become only one of two facilities in Massachusetts that

certification. 

their needs.” 

The other kinds of funding for this 

project that are being looked into are 

appealing to the Federal Economic 

Stimulus Program. Along with the 

rest of the country, Dudley and its 

surrounding towns have been affected 

by the economic crunch and this 

stimulus money would be well used 

toward this project. The Library 

Building Committee has submitted 

this project to be considered for the 

federal program. This is in the hopes 

of receiving some of the billions of 

dollars that will be put in places for 

projects like this around the country. 

The proposed project meets two of 

the requirements that the program 

has — “shovel readiness” and a construction 

timeline of less than two 

years — which is a good sign in the 

hopes for being approved in the near 

future. 

A state grant has been issued to 

fund the construction as well for $2.3 

million, with an additional $1.4-million 

from a municipal debt exclusion; 

a $2 million donation from Mr. and 

Mrs. Hugh Crawford; and $1 million 

in privet and corporate donations. 

With an end to the project finally in 

sight for the library, people in town 

and employees of the library are 

excited to see this achievement for 

themselves and the environment 

come to light. “[The project] was a 

long time coming,” Cane said. 

“With the economy the way it is, 

everyone is saying it’s the perfect 

time to build,” said Library Building 

Committee Co-Chair Anne Marie 

Safaee in January. “Our timing is so 

fortunate … this is something we’ve 

been working on for so long — to see 

it come together … it’s wonderful.”

LEARNING 

Women’s club 

scholarship 

to benefit 

two local 

students 

BY JOY RICHARD 


DUDLEY — The Dudley Women’s Club 

will offer graduating seniors of Shepherd 

Hill Regional High School and Bay Path 


School the opportunity to be awarded for 

their involvement in the Dudley community 

with two scholarships. 

The deadline for application is March 6. 

Each scholarship will be for $500 and 

available applications are at the Pearle J. 

Crawford Memorial Library, 1 Village St., 

Dudley, as well as the Town Clerk’s office, 

located on the second floor of the 

Municipal Complex, 71 W. Main Street, 

Dudley. 

The scholarships will be awarded at a 

Women’s Club banquet in May and the 

money will available to the students in 

January of 2010. 

Students applying for this award will be 

looked at in terms of their academic 

standing and having a great record of participation 

in the Dudley community over 

the course of their school careers. 

The Dudley Women’s Club, which was 

established last year off of the Oxford 

chapter, is part of the national General 

Federation of Women’s Clubs. 

Their main mission as a group is to 

serve the public. They emphasize the 

importance of literacy and learning in the 

projects that they take on. This new scholarship 

is the first major project of this 

kind for this chapter of the club. 

Chris Lavoie, who represents the Dudley 

chapter said, “Their main focus was to get 

this scholarship up and running,” adding 

that she is excited at how much people are 

giving to the cause and the group is aiming 

to either have more scholarships next 

year, or award a larger amount of money 

for this one. 

A goal that the club has for next year is 

to incorporate other towns being eligible 

to partake in this scholarship opportunity. 

“We don’t want students from the other 

schools in the region to feel left out,” she 

said. “With scholarships now becoming 

more and more necessary for students to 

go to the college of their choice, the club 

wants as many kids to get the chance as 

possible.” 

The money for the scholarship has been 

raised with various methods. Anytime 

there is a town event, such as the Tree 

Lighting in December, the club is there 

and takes donations. The response that 

the public has been very positive, Lavoie 

said. 

The largest fundraiser for the group at 

this point will be an upcoming fashion 

show and luncheon Sunday, March 15, at 

11 a.m. Lunch will be at 12 p.m. and the 

show at 1 p.m. It should all wrap up at 

around 2:30 p.m. Along with those two 

events there will be 20 different venders 

on site so the audience can shop after the 

show. Tickets are $25 and are available by 

calling the Dudley Women’s Club at 508- 

949-1251. 

Webster resident agrees to take helm of Northbridge schools 

BY THOMAS MATTSON 


NORTHBRIDGE — Susan Gorky, of Webster, an 

administrator in the Marlborough school district, 

has accepted the three-year position of superintendent 

for the Northbridge schools. 

In a move that surprised just about everybody, 

Susan Cote, of East Bridgewater and the School 

Committee’s first choice, declined the position. 

She cited contract negotiation problems as the 

reason. 

School Committee Chairwoman Mary Contino 

telephoned Cote Feb. 4 after the board interviewed 

the three finalists for the job, telling her she was 

the committee’s choice. One stipulation the 

School Committee inserted into the prerequisites 

was that Cote cease pursuing any possible opportunities 

as superintendent in another district. On 

Feb. 13, Cote called Interim School 

Superintendent Henry O’Donnell to say she was 

declining the offer. She is currently assistant 

superintendent of the East Bridgewater schools. 

Cote attended a Northbridge School Committee 

meeting Tuesday, Feb. 10, at which O’Donnell laid 

out a detailed map of the school system past, present 

and perhaps future. 

Several panelists who voted for Cote were also 

impressed with Gorky. A number of board members 

commented on the excellence of all three 

finalists. The other finalist was Kelly Clenchy, of 

the Orono, Maine regional district. 

After the final interviews, the School 

Committee held a lively discussion before the 

decisive vote. A non-binding vote conducted by 

the nine members gave four votes to Cote, three to 

Gorky and two to Clenchy. Several committee 

members said they were uncertain, having a hard 

time choosing among the candidates. 

When Cote received eight of the nine votes, the 

School Committee took the next step, making the 

vote unanimous. Several committee members 

found themselves in a quandary because they 

thought all three candidates were excellent. 

Some members who voted for Cote or Clenchy 

made positive comments about Gorky. 

Before the final vote, panelists explained their 

straw votes. 

“I chose Gorky,” said Susan Brouwer. “She fits 

in the best.” 

She said she thought both Gorky and Cote were 

focused on children: “I could support either lady. 

They’re outstanding.” 

“I was very impressed with what Gorky did 

with her district,” said Karen Kittredge. 

But she, too, found it hard to decide. “Gorky is 

big on planning and strong for her plans,” said 

Michael McGrath. 

“Eighty-five percent of the teachers [interviewed 

in Marlborough] said they wanted to be 

with her,” said Brouwer. 

Richard DeLuca seemed to imply that if Gorky 

had more central office experience, her other 

qualities might persuade him to vote for her. 

“Gorky does need a little more financial background,” 

Brouwer conceded. 

SUMMER START 

The new superintendent is expected to begin in 

Northbridge July 1. Gorky is currently the director 

of Institutional Advancement and Special 

Programs for Marlborough public schools. 

Bartlett Jr./Sr. High School Scholarship Opportunity 

The Rita Zelinski Gelinas Student and Alumni Scholarships for the study 

of math or science are now available through the Bartlett High School 

Guidance Department. 

Any Bartlett Alumnus who is or will be pursuing full-time graduate studies 

in math or science is welcome to apply for the Alumni Scholarship. 

Any present senior who attends Bartlett Jr. Sr. High School and is pursing 

a career in a science or mathematics discipline is also encouraged to apply 

for the Student Scholarship. 

Both applications are available in the Bartlett High School Guidance 

Office. Applications are due in the guidance department by Friday, March 13. 

In Memory of Cheryl Marier 

Before beginning her 

current assignment in 

August 2008, Gorky was 

principal of a number of 

schools, including East 

Main Street School in 

Spencer from 1982 to 

1985; Brookfield 

Elementary School from 

1985-1987; Francis Kane 

School in Marlborough 

from 1987 to 2001; 

Charles J. Jaworek 

School, also in 

Marlborough, from 2001- 

2004; Intermediate 

Donations may be made to the “Cheryl Marier Scholarship Fund.” The 

fund will benefit a student enrolled in the Licensed Practical Nursing 

Program at Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School in 

Charlton. Please send donations to Webster Federal Credit Union at #1 

North Main St., Webster MA 01570. 

Elementary School, 

from 2004-2008. 

Gorky noted Marlborough public schools have 

an enrollment of 4,597 housed in six buildings. 

The intermediate elementary school she headed 

over four years had an enrollment of 740 in grades 

4 and 5 and 120 staff members. 

Gorky received both her undergraduate degree 

— a bachelor of arts in elementary education, and 

a master of education degree in leadership and 

administration — at Worcester State College. She 

has a master’s degree plus 60 credits in continuing 

education, also from Worcester State College. 

She described her professional mission as to 

use “her skills in curriculum, instruction and 

professional development, leadership experience, 

participatory management style and creative abilities 

to bring excellence to district-wide educational 

programs and exemplary schools.” 

Gorky said it is her goal “to work in a district 

that will promote a collaborative environment 

where the family, school and community work 

together.” 

“Your focus on students is clear along with rigorous 

expectations for all learners,” she said to 

the committee. “The future of our children 

depends on what we set in motion today.” 

“I will maintain and develop Northbridge’s 

vision of excellence,” she said, “and I will clearly 

articulate and communicate that vision to the 

staffs, parents and community members.” 

OPENING STATEMENT 

Gorky 

In her opening statement to the committee, during 

the interviews Feb. 4, Gorky gave Northbridge 

good marks for its collaborative approach to education, 

in which family, school and community 

work together. 

“The future of our children depends on what 

we set in motion today,” she declared. 

She said every child’s education should be personalized. 

In a personal aside, Gorky said she 

almost came to Northbridge to accept her first job 

as a teacher at the Balmer School, but there were 

no jobs available, it turned out. She said she lived 

26 years in Oxford and recently moved to Webster. 

“I’m familiar with the needs of the local community,” 

she said. She noted she has had the experience 

of teaching, of being a principal and of 

directing programs. 

“I’m a teacher first,” she said. “My leadership 

style centers round what’s best for each and every 

child.” 

She described herself as a collaborative leader. 

She spoke of her strong interest in curriculum.

She said she believes in creating a respectful climate. 

Moreover, she said, “All children deserve to be 

successful.” 

“Northbridge is a district on the move,” 

Gorky told the committee that working in a 

small community such as Northbridge “is really 

my dream.” 

Responding to a bevy of questions from committee 

members, Gorky said she is a strong proponent 

of “community-building.” 

She pointed out she has led a building committee 

and presided over reform —major change — 

in Marlborough. 

She acknowledged the community did not have 

a lot of trust in the system, so she engaged a team, 

working with administrators and supportive parents 

to improve the school. 

“We made changes in the climate in a short 

time,” Gorky said. 

Other support, she said, came from the school 

council, the PTO, business partners and the city 

council. 

“We built a true community,” she said. 

In another remark, Gorky said the Northbridge 

schools’ Special Education budget “is slightly disproportionate 

— a lot of money going to Special 

Education students. I believe in bringing back 

outsourced students to Northbridge schools.” 

She also said it should be a goal for all students 

to score “Proficient” on the MCAS tests. 

The needs of the gifted should also be met, she 

added. 

Gorky called technology an essential ingredient 

of the 21st century. 

DIGITAL LITERACY 

“It’s embedded in everything we do,” she said. 

“All teachers need to be digitally literate. 

Technology is a tool for learning.” 

On the issue of prioritizing needs, Gorky noted 

goals Northbridge has include a reduction in the 

size of its classes and the improvement of academic 

achievement. 

“We have to all know what our goals are,” she 

said. 

In regard to how she would relate to students 

from kindergarten through grade 12, Gorky said 

“With integrity.” 

Speaking of the financial situation 

Northbridge and other school systems find themselves 

in, Gorky said: “I think creatively the gap 

here can be closed. In other districts the gap is $3 

million or $4 million. I’ve been in the position of 

reforming several times.” 

She said she favors formation of a superintendent’s 

advisory committee and said she would 

work closely with the union. 

To another question, Gorky said: “We agree to 

disagree behind closed doors, but to have a unified 

front outside.” 

She said the schools need “to nurture improvement 

as well as celebration.” 

Henry O’Donnell, the interim superintendent, 

had served the district for 11 years, through 2005, 

then retired. Paul Soojian succeeded O’Donnell, 

but left to take over the superintendency of 

Leicester schools last year. O’Donnell is expected 

to stay on through June. After that, Gorky, pending 

final negotiations, will assume control of the 

Northbridge school system.

Karen Sasha Tipper, 

Nichols College professor, 

has authored 

a transcription of 

Lady Jane Wilde’s 

letters to Fröken 

Lotten von Kræmer, 

1857-1885, published

for Dr. Tipper to publish this volume 

of 40 letters from Dublin-based Lady Wilde 

to her Swedish friend,” said Dr. Alan 

Reinhardt, Nichols College vice president 

for academic affairs and dean. “I am delighted 

that Dr. Tipper has focused her research 

on correspondence between two enlightened 

women who used their intellect to write and 

improve the social conditions of their time.” 

Dr. Tipper is professor and chair of 

English at Nichols College in Dudley. She 

has presented a number of papers on the 

Wilde family, has published articles on Oscar 

Wilde and Lady Jane Wilde in The Wildean.

OXFORD — During the Lenten season, 

members of Zion Lutheran Church, 70 S.

Methodist Church, 465 Main St., will join 

together for a weeknight service. 

The Methodist Church begins the series on

p.m. Similarly, the Lutheran Church will end 

the series on Good Friday with services at 1 

and 7 p.m. 

During the intervening weeks the two congregations

a soup supper at 6 p.m. and then a joint service 

at 7 p.m. 

The Methodist Church will host Tuesday 

March 3, 17, and 31.

This is the second year of walking together 

during Lent. Both Pastor Andrew Simon of

congregations an opportunity to “make new 

friends in the faith, and grow spiritually 

through cooperative-shared worship.” 

The community is cordially invited to participate 

in both the weekly Lenten services 

and in the Tuesday evening soup suppers.

EDITOR 

THE WEBSTER TIMES AND THE AUBURN NEWS 

Keep those 

submissions 

coming 

Acouple weeks ago, we 

announced that we here at 

the Webster Times will 

celebrate our 150th 

anniversary in March, and to help 

us celebrate, we are calling on the 

readers and advertisers to share 

your memories with us! 

A local newspaper does not put out 

a weekly newspaper for 150 consecutive 

years unless it has a solid support 

base behind it. This paper 

would not be what it is without all 

of you, and for that, you all have 

our eternal gratitude. We hope that 

we have been a great source of 

news and entertainment for you 

these past years. 

To recap our message from a couple 

weeks ago (and there will be many 

reminders in the weeks to come — 

don’t worry), our special edition, 

150th anniversary issue of the 

Webster Times will “hit the streets” 

Friday, March 20, and boy-oh-boy, do 

we have a special issue planned for 

you. 

We want nothing more than to spill 

all our secrets, but unfortunately, 

we cannot. However, we can tell you 

that it will be a one-of-a-kind keepsake 

edition you can hold onto. We 

know that’s vague, but that’s all we 

can give you. Sorry! 

Back to the mission at hand — the 

readers. Keep sending us your letters 

of congratulations, memories, 

stories and anecdotes about the 

paper. We want to run as many messages 

as we can in the anniversary 

edition. 

Now, to the nitty-gritty. 

E-mail submissions are preferred 

(at aminor@stonebridgepress.com), 

but you may also send us a legible 

handwritten note or typed letter via 

mail to The Webster Times, Attn: 

Adam Minor, 25 Elm St., 

Southbridge, MA 01550. You may 

also fax us the note to 508-764-8015. 

Make sure the fax includes a return 

phone number for verification, and 

make sure it says “Webster Times” 

or “Adam Minor” on it so it gets to 

the right hands! 

For our advertisers, if you would 

like to share in our issue with a 

special advertisement, please contact 

our Advertising 

Remember that all decisions on 

whether or not to run a submission 

will rest with the editor. Also, try to 

limit submissions to 500 words or 

less, so others can make their voices 

heard, too! 

On a sadder note, this week, we say 

goodbye to our reporter of nearly 

two years, Patrick Skahill, as he is 

going off to new adventures. This 

week, we welcome a new reporter, 

Joy Richard, to the Webster Times 

team. We know you will make her 

feel most welcome. 

Thanks again, as always, for reading 

our newspaper, and as we look 

into the past for our upcoming 

anniversary issue, we also look to 

the future with a new reporter, and 

a renewed vigor to serve our readers 

with the best in local news coverage. 

SOUND OFF 

What happened to senior trip announcements? 

SOUND OFF: 

I have been traveling with the Dudley seniors 

for the past 12 years. The trips have been 

exceptional values. Now, someone at the 

Dudley Town Hall has destroyed all of the trip 

announcements, told citizens that these trips 

are no longer available — and to add insult to 

injury, they hand out copies of the Charlton 

Senior Center trips. 

I happen to know that the Dudley seniors 

travel group is alive and well. I am signed up 

for the two spring offerings. The first is on 

March 25. This is a trip to two casinos. The $30 

trip includes the breakfast buffet and a $10 bet 

‘Sexting’ is a dangerous new trend 

There are many methods of 

communication available 

to us these days. When 

used properly, they can be 

very beneficial to us. If used 

improperly, there can be severe 

consequences. I was recently 

asked to provide some insight on 

a new trend occurring among 

many teenagers. 

Something new many young people 

are choosing to engage in is an 

activity referred to as “sexting.” 

Many people, including parents, 

may not even be aware of what this 

disturbing act is. This practice 

involves people taking pictures (mostly 

through the use of cell phone cameras) of 

themselves or others in various states of 

undress and sending them to people by some 

electronic means. What may seem to be something 

intended for “fun” is truly a serious 

matter. Despite the fact there exists a compromising 

photo of you out for the world to see, 

criminal charges can be possible in many 

cases. If the subject of the photo is under the 

age of 18, they are considered to be a minor 

for legal purposes. Should these pictures 

include nudity in any form, they can be classified 

as obscene material depicting children. 

This can fall into several categories, including 

posing a child for sexual photographs, 

possession of child pornography, or dissemination 

of obscene matter to minors. Both the 

CHIEF’S 

CORNER 

STEVE 

WOJNAR 

on the big wheel at Mohegan Sun as well as 

the dinner buffet and a $15 Keno bet at 

Foxwoods. Of course, the transportation and 

drivers tip are also included. 

On May 11 to 15, the trip to Niagara Falls 

and Toronto is $445. This includes transportation, 

all attractions, nice hotels, several meals 

and much more. 

Why would anyone in the Town Hall or senior 

center want to keep this information from 

the people of Dudley? 

A PERPLEXED DUDLEY SENIOR 

Drunk driver says lesson learned 

He may have since 

been released, but a 

week ago last 

Wednesday, Mark 

Provencal was laid up at 

UMass Medical Center in 

Worcester. 

Whether his time there is 

enough to open his eyes as to 

how lucky he really is — and 

the rest of us are, at that — 

remains to be seen. 

Provencal was on his way home from work 

Wednesday, Feb. 11. He didn’t go straight to his 

North Woodstock, Conn. home on English 

Neighborhood Road, though. He stopped off 

first for a drink. 

“Some people like an after-work smoke,” 

Provencal said in a telephone interview, presumably 

from his hospital room. “Me, I like to 

have a drink.” 

Apparently, so. 

According to the police log that recorded his 

subsequent accident that night, this was his 

fifth OUI charge. Provencal vigorously disputes 

that, though, instead blaming the cops. 

“That’s a bunch of [expletive deleted],” he 

said of the number of OUI charges listed in the 

log. “I don’t know where [the police officer] 

came up with that. 

“Somebody doesn’t like me at the police 

department.” 

Provencal mentioned a few officers by name, 

saying he’s familiar with some of them from 

the past. 

“I used to drink at Sonny’s a lot,” he said of 

the one-time popular watering hole for many a 

local. Sonny, by the way, has since passed away. 

At tops, Provencal said, he has been nabbed 

only three times for OUI. The last, he said, was 

15 years ago. 

“My wife and I are trying to figure it out,” he 

said of what he claims is erroneous information. 

“I’m going to say it’s been three times.” 

He pointed out he had also “beaten a few” 

raps in court. 

Back to that Wednesday night. 

Around 7:40 p.m., police responded to an 

accident on Lebanon Hill, which is how 

Provencal would have traveled on his way 

home. Although he wasn’t arrested, he was 

summonsed to court on charges of operating a 

motor vehicle under the influence of liquor 

(fifth offense), operating a motor vehicle with a 

suspended license (subsequent offense), not 

possessing a license and failing to wear a seatbelt. 

He was injured in the accident, and taken by 

ambulance to the hospital. Provencal said he 

broke his wrist and his right arm and fractured 

six ribs. 

“I had a couple beers,” Provencal conceded. 

“I wasn’t drunk. I wasn’t arrested.” 

He also took issue with the charge that he 

didn’t have a license. 

“That’s new to me,” he said. “I mean, it was 

right in my truck.” 

Provencal seemed more upset that the incident 

found its way into the local paper’s police 

logs. 

“Last June, I was on Lebanon Hill around 4 

a.m.,” he said. “I was on my way to Vermont 

for work. A deer ran out in front of me. When I 

avoided it, I hit a telephone pole. I was [taken 

by Life Flight] to the hospital. 

“If they put it in the paper this time, why 

BIRD’S 

NEST 

WALTER 

BIRD JR. 

didn’t they put that in?” 

For the record, Provencal 

maintains he wasn’t drinking 

at the time of that accident. 

“I don’t drink and drive,” he 

said. “I don’t drive drunk.” 

His record, he was told, suggests 

otherwise. 

“I mean, I don’t have a beer in 

the car with me when I’m driving,” 

he clarified. 

But, he was asked, you do get 

behind the wheel after drinking, right? 

“But I’m not drunk,” he replied. 

It was suggested to Provencal that while he 

claims to have fewer OUI busts than listed, 

even three would be too much. 

“Oh, yeah,” he agreed. “Definitely, it’s too 

much for somebody to get.” 

Well, then, he was asked, should he even be 

allowed to have a license or drive a car? 

“Well, yeah,” he said. “Listen, the first time 

was 38 years ago. The second was 22 years and 

the last was 15.” 

Whether that’s true or not is difficult to 

ascertain, because the OUI’s are spread out in 

Massachusetts and Connecticut. The officer 

who responded to last week’s incident could 

not be reached to shed any light on the matter. 

Provencal actually tried to put a positive 

spin on the accident. 

“The doctor said I was lucky to have the accident 

because I was in the process of having 

congestive heart failure for the second time in 

a month,” he said. 

Surgery, he said, was going to have to be 

done. 

That news raised an eyebrow at this address, 

the thinking being that heart failure might be 

a sign that it’s time to stop drinking. Which, by 

the way, is precisely what Provencal said he 

plans to do — if not by choice. 

“I can’t,” he said. “The doctor will not do the 

procedure on my heart unless I put in writing 

that I will not drink again.” 

But, it was suggested, that doesn’t guarantee 

he’ll never pick up a drink again, or worse, get 

behind the wheel of a car after drinking. 

“Not after all this,” he said. “I’ve never had 

heart failure before. And this accident, this 

was the worst pain I’ve ever had in my life. 

“Believe me, I can’t drink and drive, anymore. 

I really hurt myself here.” 

Was the accident a wake-up call? 

“A wake up call? Well,” he said, “it makes 

you think. Anything like that makes you 

think.” 

Provencal at least seemed to take some 

responsibility for this latest incident, saying, 

“When you’re wrong, you’re wrong.” 

Will he honestly never pick up an alcoholic 

drink again, or get behind the wheel of a car 

after drinking? That remains to be seen. His 

track record, at least according to police 

accounts, doesn’t give a lot of reason for optimism. 

For the safety of everyone else on the road, 

Provencal needs to know he is a dangerous 

presence behind the wheel — at least when he 

has been drinking, which appears to be a lot. 

Whether he knows that, here’s hoping he 

remembers his own words after he recovers 

from his injuries and from his heart troubles: 

“I’m 57. I’ve got a lot of things going for me 

besides a can of beer.” 

person sending the material as well 

as the person who receives the pictures 

can fit the criteria for criminal 

charges. All of these crimes are 

felonies in the Commonwealth of 

Massachusetts. They carry state 

prison terms and can seriously affect 

a person’s future. 

Taking the criminal aspect aside 

for a moment, it is important for people 

to think before they act out in any 

of these ways. Remember, the “www” 

before all computer sites stands for 

the “world wide web.” Once a photograph 

is sent out over the Internet, by 

telephone, or other electronic means, 

you have no control over where it can go from 

there. Consider it available for the world to 

see. People may be able to view these years 

later. This can have a serious impact on your 

career and your life in general. What may 

have been something that seemed funny at 

the time, cannot only be criminal, but may 

also damage you in ways you cannot imagine.

In praise 

of the 

‘go-to’ 

drawer 

AS YOU 

LIKE IT 

MARK 

ASHTON 

It is, after all, a simple matter of survival. 

In our home, we couldn’t possibly function 

without it. I for one would be lost. A dozen projects 

a day would never get done. We’d be forced 

to wander from room to 

room in search of the proper 

tool, implement, or accessory 

— and very likely we’d 

never find it. 

Without it, normal life (at 

home) would not be normal, 

things would surely grind to 

a halt, and a variety of 

everyday tasks would suddenly 

become insurmountable 

undertakings, 

Herculean household horrors, 

personalized Big Digs 

with Sisyphean (never-ending) 

conclusions. 

I’m talking about The 

Drawer, usually found in the 

kitchen, the one with the hammer and pliers 

and a couple of screwdrivers in it, the one with 

a slew of used-but-still-good batteries (all sizes), 

a couple of tape dispensers, leftover screws, 

nails, brads, pins, picture hanging hardware, 

and, oh yes, the scissors that actually work — on 

both paper and wire. 

I’ll admit that I’ve been accused (and frequently 

convicted) over the years of operating 

under the assumption that there’s “a place for 

everything — and everything’s all over the 

place,” but I can get away with that approach to 

life only in the cellar, aka the workshop, laundry 

room, furnace room, and auxiliary storage 

facility. 

Upstairs where we live, work, eat, sleep, and 

occasionally entertain guests and felines, it’s 

important to play by the rules. And the rules 

clearly state that since one of us is a pack rat, 

it’s up to the other one, the neatnik (aka Mrs. 

Monk) to keep things orderly, neat, and “put 

away.” 

Fortunately for the pack rat, “put away” can 

sometime mean simply “out of sight,” which is 

where The Drawer comes in. As the repository 

for everything useful on every household project 

from opening mail packages (there are razor 

blades and a box cutter in there) to performing 

emergency snowblower surgery (involving the 

replacement of “shear pins” and their accompanying 

collars and nuts), this is the “go-to” 

drawer when the neatnik goes to the pack rat for 

household project assistance. Hey, I was recently 

able to repair both our Miniature Christmas 

Train and Miniature Christmas Ice Pond with 

Skaters using only what’s found in The Drawer. 

Over the recent holidays, in fact, it occurred 

to me that I had to go to this special drawer several 

times a day, and that because it always 

seems to hold the tool or tape or jar of Mighty 

Mend-It that’s needed, it has become a favorite 

place — almost a little room unto itself. There 

are other drawers in the kitchen (and elsewhere 

in the house) that get opened so infrequently 

that it’s always a surprise to discover what’s in 

them (“Oh, so that’s where I left the autographed 

photo of Luis Tiant!”). 

Anyway, at some point in recent history, The 

Drawer was getting just a tad tight, and I was 

forced to take stock of what was in there, what 

needed to stay in there, and what might be 

moved to a secondary storage location. Would it 

surprise you to learn that our drawer had the 

tools previously mentioned in it in addition to 

all of the following? A battery tester, a carpenter’s 

pencil sharpener, glue sticks, a precision 

screwdriver set (of the size used in eyeglass 

repairs), a value pack of assorted household 

fasteners (cup hooks, push pins, thumb tacks, 

and plastic anchors), a couple of Sharpies (different 

colors), a gold leaf pen, rubber bands, a 

paint scraper, hand warmers (of the chemical 

variety), a medical thermometer (oral), one 

tube of Mighty Putty, one shoe lace (black), a 

roll of electrical tape, two tubes of lock deicer, 

assorted snippers and clippers, a spare set of 

car keys (for the wife’s car), some Tic Tacs, a 

three-speed pull-chain switch, a ball of twine 

(suitable for tomato stake tying), several keys 

on a chain (of unknown origin or use), a set of 

plastic vampire teeth, chocolate sunflower 

seeds, a 40-millimeter padlock (with keys), and a 

plastic kazoo. The other stuff in there is hardly 

worth mentioning. 

I bet YOU have a drawer just like this one at 

your home, full of odds and ends but necessary 

stuff, the stuff that keeps your household functioning 

and your projects (unlike the Big Dig) 

on schedule and on budget. If your drawer is 

somehow under-accessorized (perhaps yours is 

a new household), please call or write for 

detailed instructions (and a starter kit) on how 

to properly “stuff it” with appropriate stuff. 

My one fear is that OUR drawer may soon 

wear out from overuse. Its slide tracks may be 

nearing some pre-determined point of planned 

obsolescence (“Only 3,287,629 pulls per drawer, 

you know!”), but if that ever happens, I’ll simply 

replace them — perhaps with the tracks 

from some underused utensil holder right next 

door to The Drawer. 

I know just where to find the screwdrivers, 

hammer, pliers, and Mighty Putty to get the job 

done in a jiffy.

VIEWPOINT 

Opportunity to redefine our culture 

KRISTAL 

KLEAR 

KRIS REARDON 

As President Barack Obama and members 

of Congress work out bailout plans 

and stimulus packages, we as American 

citizens are faced with a great deal of 

worry — and a great deal of opportunity. 

These times of economic hardships are 

difficult for nearly everyone on some level, 

whether it means a job lost, a small business 

closed, a house in danger of being 

foreclosed, or worry of something else. 

While the strain this places on families and 

the devastation it is causing so many cannot 

be underemphasized, we have the 

opportunity to reshape our American culture 

and redefine what it means to live in 

our country. 

Our society has become known for frivolous 

spending, an inundation of goods and 

products (only some of which are necessary), and large corporations 

that have spread throughout the world. In short, 

the United States has become the textbook definition for the 

term ‘consumer society.’ 

In many ways, this is a good thing. It meant, for many 

years, that our economy was thriving, that we had a nation 

where a great majority of citizens were able to live well and 

with many things to improve their quality of life. But in 

recent years, many of the things in our lives haven’t been 

improving our quality of life. They’ve been doing just the 

opposite: making our lives more difficult and expensive, or 

harming us. 

While developing, creating, marketing, and selling any 

given product on the American market creates a number of 

much-needed jobs, when we have too many products on the 

market — and when they are marketed as being necessary 

for our happiness or success — then they become problematic. 

We might look at advertising on television or in print as 

silly or unable to influence us, but if a greater culture of 

advertising creates the illusion that we can somehow buy 

our happiness (even if we don’t acknowledge this consciously), 

then this begins to negatively affect our lives. Either we 

know we can’t buy happiness or love, and are frustrated 

because it seems like others can, or, we don’t quite acknowledge 

that — and then come to the slow realization that no 

amount of money, or number of things we buy, can truly 

make us live fulfilling lives. 

There aren’t many up sides to the current economic climate, 

but if there are any, perhaps one of them will be that 

we will become more conservative spenders as Americans 

— and come to the type of full realization about not being 

able to buy our happiness that only refusing to spend excessively 

can bring. 

If we don’t need to worry so much about buying brandname 

clothing, for example, and realize that most of us have 

more clothing than we need, then we’ll save money. And 

we’ll save the time that it takes to stress out and consider 

purchases and how to finance them. We’ll have a little more 

time on our hands, even if we don’t save a ton of money 

because the money we used to spend on things we didn’t 

need now needs to be spent on groceries. 

And with that time, we’ll have the opportunity to do 

things we usually push aside: a long conversation with a 

good friend, or an afternoon spent with the family. In our 

culture, free time is so rare that it is sometimes worth more 

than almost any amount of money. 

And we can reconnect with the generations of our families 

and communities who lived through tough economic 

times before and know how to tighten their belts. They are 

sources of knowledge and information that we can rely on 

in times like these. 

Not being able to buy all the things we’d like is frustrating 

and depressing. And there are many families who aren’t 

able to buy the things they need, which is much more than 

frustrating and depressing. 

But for a large group of Americans — who may have lost 

money but aren’t losing their homes and can still afford to 

buy food and basic necessities — there is a great opportunity 

to redefine American culture and reject the notion that to 

be a successful nation, we need to live wholly and completely 

within a society of excess and consumerism. 

After all, our nation was not founded by corporations but 

by a culture of patriotism which resulted in men and 

women developing frugality out of necessity, a virtue of 

sorts that made Ben Franklin: “Who is rich? He that is content. 

Who is that? Nobody.” 

By resisting the pull to continue to support and cultivate 

the notion that we must have things we don’t need in order 

to make us happy, we can perhaps prove Franklin wrong 

years after his time.

Local men’s group prepping for Scotland missions trip 

CALVARY 

continued from page 1 

Officials say at least $3,000 

will go directly into projects 

at Bridgeton, with the possibility 

that even more will be 

donated. 

“Our goal is to bring in as 

much money as we can,” 

O’Loughlin said. “We told 

them that whatever you need 

us to do, we will do.” 

Planning for the Scottish 

missions trip began approximately 

a year ago and support 

for the project has rapidly 

ballooned. 

Harry Violette, an Oxford 

resident who will be going on 

the trip this spring, said the 

church undertook a number 

of fundraising initiatives 

including bake sales, pizza 

sales, and an upcoming Irish 

music and dance night scheduled 

for Friday, March 13, 

from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the 

church. 

Initially, the project started 

with seven volunteers, but 

two dropped out several 

months back. 

Recently, however, two 

more signed on for the trip 

and the church was able to 

book tickets on the same 

plane at lower rates, Violette 

said. 

Several of the volunteers 

going on the trip also have 

construction backgrounds 

and will be acting as the 

“point men” for the project, 

O’Loughlin said. 

For Violette, the Scottish 

missions trip will be his first 

time outside of the United 

States. 

He said he was excited to 

set foot in Europe, but said he 

more pumped up about the 

chance to help his brothers 

and sisters overseas. 

“For me, it’s about serving 

God,” Violette said. “[Years 

ago], I never dreamt I’d be 

doing [missions], but when 

God came into my life it 

became all about being able 

to help people.” 

“Everybody is stepping up 

and doing their part,” he 

added. 

O’Loughlin said he initially 

got interested in the 

Glasgow church project 

through a mutual friend, 

Pastor Paul Eulino. 

Originally 

from 

Connecticut, Eulino has 

served in overseas ministries 

for several years, but still has 

ties to a Manchester, Conn.- 

based ministry. 

O’Loughlin said Calvary 

has been using that ministry 

as the planner for several 

international fundraisers 

during the past several years. 

A while back the two met 

over lunch to discuss the 

Scotland project and interest 

among Calvary church members 

rapidly snowballed. 

“Our parishioners recognized 

that [giving] starts 

here, but it can happen in 

other places too,” O’Loughlin 

said. 

Tony Hamilton, another 

volunteer going on the trip, 

agreed, saying he is hopeful 

the mission trip will build a 

bridge between two churches 

separated by such vast distances. 

As Calvary’s first mission 

trip, Hamilton also hopes it 

sets a solid precedent for 

future overseas expeditions. 

“We’re hoping to be able to 

both encourage our church 

and encourage the church 

over in Scotland,” he said. 

“Hopefully this will kick off 

that we can do these types of 

trips — that [with work] the 

money is there.”

‘Level-serviced’ budget poses no classroom cuts 

BUDGETcontinued from page 1 

Finance Committee, the document will come back to School 

Committee members who will be required to hold a public 

hearing on the document in the coming weeks. 

While school officials have repeatedly stressed this year’s 

budget is tight, Superintendent Ernie Boss acknowledged 

Monday night that the $14.7 million figure would be enough to 

keep the department driving along at it’s current level for the 

upcoming fiscal year. 

“This is the estimated [amount] for us to move the district 

in the direction we want to go in,” Boss said. 

School Committee Chairman Bill Spitz said he was hesitant 

to put his “name on anything that will put [the district] backwards” 

financially, but stressed this budget tentatively proposed 

no immediate classroom cuts. 

While state promises for educational funding have 

remained constant, Town Manager Joe Zeneski announced 

earlier this month that town funding for the school district 

would be cut by 3.75 percent. 

According to FY10 revenue projections, this reduction will 

slash the town’s school department appropriation by $249,385, 

scaling the total allocation from $6.65 million in FY09 to 

roughly $6.4 million in FY10. 

Town officials stressed, however, that this funding still 

exceeded the minimum local contribution mandated by the 

state. 

In other business, Spitz announced the search for a new 

superintendent in Oxford continues to progress. He said subcommittee 

search members are hopeful interviews for the 

position will start to line up in the coming weeks. 

Currently, the district has 18 applications for the job, which 

will open when Boss retires at the end of the current school 

year. 

“I’m very impressed with the array of candidates we have 

to choose from,” Spitz said. 

In district sports news, Boss happily announced a win for 

the second year cheerleaders at the Oxford Middle School, 

who recently cheered their way into first place during the 

“Blizzard Blitz” cheering tournament held at Shepherd Hill 

Regional High School. 

The middle school took the title by beating out 24 other 

teams in the competition. 

School Committee members also continued their “District 

Tours” Monday night, taking in the sights at Clara Barton 

during a walkthrough directed by School Principal Norman 

Yvon. 

Everything from the school’s incentive policies for good 

behavior to student classroom artwork was taken in by committee 

members. 

Yvon also brought the committee up to date on Clara 

Barton’s mission statements saying teachers and students 

have been working hard throughout the year on values such 

as responsibility and individuality. 

The mantra “I Believe in You” is prominently displayed in 

the school’s main hallway and Yvon said this message was 

one teachers were particularly focused on in 2009. 

“[The students] hear quite often that they can [achieve], 

because these kids really are something special,” Yvon said. 

Oxford Cable Access was on hand to televise the tour on 

local cable access Channel 11, which now airs School 

Committee meetings in Oxford. 

Following the tour, Spitz praised Yvon, saying the school 

was very well kept and adding he looked forward to taking 

another tour when Clara Barton was in session and bustling 

with young students. 

“The School Committee is very, very appreciative of the 

principal taking the time to let us tour … and again we were 

very, very pleased,” he said. “Thank you for bringing Clara 

Barton to the community.”

Mighty Manners Awards are given out at Clara Barton for students 

demonstrating good behavior in the school’s cafeteria. Principal 

Norman Yvon explained this and many other incentive programs at the 

school during a tour given to the School Committee Monday, Feb. 23. 

Police to speedsters: Be ‘reasonable and calm’ 

STOPS 


do to make the traffic stop go 

as smooth as possible and possibly 

allow you, the driver, to 

get off with “just a warning?” 

Last week, the Webster 

Times spoke with several area 

police chiefs about how to act 

during a traffic stop. Not surprisingly, 

cooperating with the 

officer and making no sudden 

motions topped all officers’ 

lists, but officials also nearly 

universally said that what 

they most wanted citizens to 

understand is that for the 

police, every traffic stop is different, 

and officers never 

know what to expect. 

“As a driver, you know every 

time it’s a police officer, but he 

has no idea who he is stopping 

or who is in that car, especially 

if they have a driver’s history 

or criminal background,” 

said Oxford Police Chief 

Michael Boss. 

So here’s the brief lowdown 

on how to act when pulled 

over: 

• Pull over (to the right side 

of the road) as soon as it is 

safe to do so. Place your car in 

park. Always remember to signal 

as you change lanes. 

• Keep both hands on the 

wheel and visible. If it’s night, 

turn on your interior cab 

lights. Making the car more 

illuminated immediately puts 

an officer more at ease. 

• Open the car’s front driver 

and passenger windows. 

• Do not produce your 

license and registration until 

the officer directly asks you 

for it. If the paperwork is not 

readily available, always mention 

where it is stored (glove 

compartment, in the visor, 

etc.) before you reach. 

• Answer all of the officer’s 

questions openly and honestly. 

Do not argue with police. 

Officers universally said they 

are not looking for a debate in 

the middle of traffic, but if 

you have a legitimate point to 

make, bring it up as calmly 

and tactfully as possible. 

• Officers hate belligerent 

and combative citizens during 

stops. When it comes time for 

the officer to write a motorist 

a warning or a fine, police said 

they are much more likely to 

side with the polite and cooperative 

violator then the loud 

driver playing the victim. 

“The officer does have discretion,” 

acknowledged 

Auburn Police Chief Andrew 

Sluckis. “If an officer is going 

to give a break to anyone, it’s 

probably going to be someone 

that is reasonable and calm.” 

There are some obvious 

caveats to this, however. If 

your moving violation record 

is large — and yes, police can 

(and oftentimes do) pull all 

this information up on their 

patrol car’s laptops — you’re 

probably going to get cited, no 

matter how sunny your disposition. 

“If a person has a lengthy 

driver’s history that’s like two 

or three pages long, the officer 

might come to the conclusion 

that this person doesn’t obey 

traffic laws and that giving 

them a warning isn’t going to 

help them obey traffic laws in 

the future,” Sluckis said. 

So, politeness during a stop 

is one thing, but at what point 

are you going into overkill 

mode to make the stop easier 

for police? 

Generally speaking, authorities 

said, there is no need for 

a motorist to shut off his 

entire car when stopped. 

While police said it’s not 

necessarily a bad idea, they 

acknowledged that during 

the winter especially, such a 

step isn’t necessary. 

Also, police said that if 

you’re stopped and your seat 

belt isn’t on, don’t scramble 

to throw it on at the last 

minute. Police could think 

you are reaching for something 

and are likely to view 

you as less cooperative. 

It seems counterintuitive, 

but the reality, police said, is 

that you already broke the 

law by not wearing the seat 

belt, so there’s no reason to 

lie about it by throwing it on 

after you’ve already pulled 

over. 

Overall, authorities said, 

while officers recognize traffic 

stops can be extremely 

stressful situations for citizens, 

Dudley Police Chief 

Steven Wojnar said he hopes 

residents simply realize 

these stops can often be just 

as stressful (if not more so) 

for police. 

“If you pay more attention 

to the police officer’s perspective 

rather than your 

own, it’s going to make it a 

lot easier for the entire stop,” 

he said. 

So, next time you’re pulled 

over, try to think about the 

officer behind the badge. 

Cooperate to the best of your 

ability and do your best to 

make the officer feel safe and 

at ease. 

If you play your cards 

right, you just might get that 

warning. 

Now slow down!

Colonels overpower Hill in fourth 

RAMS’ RUN IN POSTSEASON CONCLUDES 

BY NICK ETHIER 

SPORTS STAFF WRITER 

WORCESTER — The South High 

basketball team was able to stay 

with Shepherd Hill through three 

quarters Feb. 23, and then rode a 19- 

9 run in the fourth to pick up a win 

over the Rams in the first round of 

Division 1 play in the Central 

Massachusetts tournament. 

The No. 8 Colonels (13-8) were led 

by Emmanuel Feraud, who scored a 

game-high 20 points. 

Asked about the successful 

fourth quarter, South coach Patrick 

Williams said, “Eight minutes, I 

just told the kids to dig in.” 

Leading by only one, 51-50, 

through three quarters, the 

Colonels employed a tough man-toman 

defense that limited the Rams 

to only nine points in the quarter. 

Good ability driving to the basket 

also helped South, who scored 

many points via layups. 

But the first three quarters were 

tightly contested, and Shepherd 

Hill started off strong, leading 20-12 

after one period of play. 

Six steals also played a part in the 

Rams grabbing an early lead. 

A Brian Westgate 3-pointer early 

in the second put Shepherd Hill up 

10, but South finished the half on a 

15-6 run to trail by only one, 32-31, at 

halftime. 

“We did what we wanted to do, 

but in the third quarter we let them

defenders. 

pierce the zone,” Shepherd Hill 

coach Duane Corriveau said. 

Even though the Rams were only 

outscored by two points in the third 

(20-18), Corriveau noticed how 

South was able to get easy hoops. 

The teams exchanged buckets 

throughout the period, as the lead 

changed hands eight times. 

But then the Rams became 

turnover prone, which changed the 

course of the game. South finished 

with 17 steals, most coming in the 

second half. 

“I think it was just too much 

nerves working into the game,” 

Williams said about his team starting 

off slowly, but eventually calming 

down and playing a solid game. 

Another determining factor in 

the game was foul shooting. 

Shepherd Hill only went to the line 

13 times, hitting eight shots. South 

hit 18 of 20 free throws. 

Another suggestion from 

Corriveau is with the regular season 

schedule, as Shepherd Hill 

plays many Division 2 teams in the 

Southern Worcester County 

League, while South plays against 

D1 teams all year in the Inter-High 

League. 

The biggest dagger took place 

with just under two minutes to go 

when South point guard Hugh Daye 

(10 points, all in the second half) 

drove in for a layup, upping the 

Colonels’ lead, 66-57. 

John Jones and Craig Cameron 

also had good games for South, each 

netting 16 points. Justice Boateng 

had a game-high nine rebounds. 

South now faces top ranked 

Fitchburg Thursday night. 

Mike Flynn, one of three 

Shepherd Hill seniors, scored a 

team-high 17 points, including 

three 3-pointers. Westgate, another 

senior, finished with 13 points and 

six rebounds. Reserve senior Matt 

Murphy also contributed with a 

fourth-quarter jumper. 

Junior guard Matt Wells scored 

seven of his nine points in the first 

half. 

“I thought we did pretty well,” 

Corriveau said of his team that was 

without leading scorer Ryan 

Begreen. 

Shepherd Hill finished its season 

with a 12-10 record.

Shepherd Hill girls earn top seed in districts 



The 2009 MIAA Central 

Massachusetts basketball 

brackets have been 

announced, which means 

that postseason play is upon 

us. 

Let’s take a look at the 

brackets, as many local 

teams have qualified for district 

competition. 

Division 1 Boys 

Shepherd Hill is the only 

squad to emerge in this ultra 

competitive bracket, as they 

made it in with the No. 9 seed 

in the 11-team field. The 

Rams (12-9) squared off with 

No. 8 South High (12-8) 

Monday night and were bested, 

70-59. 

Fitchburg earned the top 

seed with their 19-3 mark. 

Division 1 Girls 

The Rams picked up the 

No. 1 seed in this bracket, 

compiling a 17-3 record. 

Shepherd Hill awaits the 

winner of Holy 

Name/Algonquin in quarterfinal 

play Friday. The Rams 

host the game at 7 p.m. 

Tantasqua (15-5) is also in 

this bracket, bringing in the 

No. 4 seed. The Warriors, like 

Shepherd Hill, picked up a 

first round bye. Tantasqua 

hosts the Gardner/St. Peter 

Marian winner Friday at a 

time to be determined. 


The hometown Pioneers, 

fresh off their impressive 

Clark Tournament finals 

appearance, are the top seed 

in this 15-team field. 

Southbridge (18-3) will host a 

game at 7 p.m. Friday, facing 

the 

St. 

Bernard’s/Blackstone- 

Millville victor. 

“This is not going to be a 

cakewalk,” Southbridge 

coach Bob Fowler said of 

their first postseason game. 

“We’re probably playing two 

of the best teams. That’s no 

present. It’s going to be a 

tough road.” 

No. 8 St. Bernard’s is 13-7, 

but 12-1 in their last 13 

games. No. 9 Blackstone 

Millville (13-8) is also a very 

tough team, according to 

Fowler. 

Northbridge (17-3) is close 

behind as the No. 2 seed. The 

Rams played host to No. 15 

Nashoba Regional (6-13) on 

Tuesday. 

Defending Division 2 

champion Tantasqua will 

check in with the No. 4 seed. 

The Warriors (16-4) hosted 

No. 13 Clinton (11-9) on 

Tuesday — the same day 

David Prouty (12-8), which 

received the No. 11 seed, traveled 

to No. 6 Lunenburg (14- 

6). 


Two Blackstone Valley 

area teams received bids for 

this particular tournament. 

No. 5 Northbridge (14-6) and 

No. 7 Uxbridge (12-8) both 

traveled for their games, as 

the Rams played No. 4 St. 

Bernard’s (16-4) and the 

Spartans played No. 2 Groton 

Dunstable (18-2), both on 

Thursday. 

Millbury and their 19-1 

mark are the top seed in the 

bracket. 


No. 7 Whitinsville 

Christian (13-6) beat No. 10 

Murdock (10-9) in this 17- 

team field to advance to the 

quarterfinals. The Crusaders 

will meet either second-seeded 

University Park and 15th 

seed Assabet Valley, who tangled 

on Tuesday, at 7 p.m. 

Friday, Feb. 27 at either 

University Park (if that 

school wins) or Whitinsville 

Christian (if Assabet Valley 

pulled off the upset). 

North Brookfield is next, 

checking in as the 14th seed. 

The 9-9 Indians had to visit 

No. 3 Nashoba Tech (17-3) for 

a game on Tuesday. 

Bartlett and Quaboag are 

the final two teams in the 

bracket. Even though the No. 

16 Indians (5-14) and No. 17 

Cougars (4-15) finished with 

losing records, they had winning 

marks against Division 

3 competition, which got 

both teams a bid. The two 

teams squared off in Webster 

Monday night, with the 

Cougars earning the 72-50 

win and a date with top-seeded 

Sutton Wednesday night. 


As the only undefeated 

team remaining in Central 

Massachusetts, Quaboag (20- 

0) picked up the No. 1 seed. 

The Cougars have a bye in 

the opening round and hosted 

No. 16 Bartlett Thursday. 

Bay Path (16-4) earned the 

No. 6 seed, and hosted a game 

with No. 11 University Park 

(13-6) Wednesday. 

Whitinsville Christian, at 

16-6, checked in as the No. 9 

seed. The Crusaders traveled 

to Upton to take on No. 8 

Blackstone Valley Tech (15-5) 

Wednesday.

OXFORD — Even though both the Douglas 

and Oxford girls’ basketball teams are not 

advancing to postseason play, the Lady Tigers 

and Lady Pirates put on a dramatic, hard 

fought game to end their respective seasons. 

Douglas overcame a 14-point fourth quarter 

deficit to force overtime, and ultimately 

upended Oxford, 52-45, in the Blackstone 

Valley Showcase Tuesday, Feb. 17. 

“To end the season like that is a tremendous 

boost to the kids’ confidence,” Douglas 

coach Jay Yacino said of his team, which 

starts a freshman, three sophomores and a 

junior. 

Lizz Ferguson, the Tigers’ junior center, 

was the driving force in the comeback victory. 

She finished with 19 points and 21 

rebounds, both game highs, but scored 15 of 

her points and collected 16 of her boards in 

the second half. 

“She’s a hustler, a scrapper,” Yacino said. 

Nick Ethier photo 

Douglas' Emma Piwowarski tries to rush the court, 

but Oxford's Ashely O'Keefe is able to swat the ball 

“She sets the tone for the other kids. Tonight 

was the perfect example of her stepping up 

when needed and bringing the rest of the 

kids along with her until they turned it on.” 

But it took a while for things to turn on for 

Douglas, as Oxford led 11-3 after one quarter 

and 26-14 at halftime. 

Jessica Jorge (17 points and seven 

rebounds) triggered the early lead for the 

Pirates by sinking three 3-pointers in the first 

half. 

Caitlyn Corey (10 points and six rebounds) 

and Stephanie Mahota (nine points) were 

other main contributors for Oxford. 

Douglas began its comeback midway 

through the fourth quarter when Ferguson 

picked up an offensive rebound and put a 

shot up for two points, cutting into Oxford’s 

lead, 37-26. 

The Tigers then installed an impressive 

full court press, which stymied the Pirates. 

Kyla Hatch (11 points, five rebounds and four 

steals) was able to come up with a steal and 

coinciding bucket, closing the gap even more. 

Then, with 1:30 remaining, Ferguson came 

up with a steal and found Hatch for a basket. 

At that point Oxford was only up seven, 37-30.

Ferguson then scored the next three points 

on a free throw and layup, cutting it to 37-33. 

The Pirates kept fighting though, and 

Corey’s baseline jumper put Oxford up six. 

But two Douglas free throws, making it 39- 

35, followed by a Hatch runner, made it 39-37 

with less than 30 seconds to play. 

After Oxford hit one of two free throws to 

go up three points, the dramatics set in. 

With four seconds to go, Douglas eighthgrader 

Julia Piwowarski found herself with 

the ball as time began to wind down. Her 3- 

point attempt from NBA range was nothing 

but net, and the game headed to overtime. 

“She’s a phenomenal athlete,” Yacino said. 

“She’s a smart, smart kid. She already knows 

the game. There’s nothing but upside to her 

and her sister.” 

Her sister is freshman Emma Piwowarski 

(four points and four rebounds), a starting 

guard for the Tigers. 

Douglas was able to win overtime scoring, 

11-5, thanks in part to Ferguson (six overtime 

points) and Julia Piwowarski (nine points), 

who hit a shot to put the Tigers up for good, 

49-45. 

Even though Douglas finished at 6-14, 

Yacino can’t wait to see what his team is 

capable of next year, as the entire starting 

lineup returns. 

“I have never looked more forward to 

upcoming seasons than I do now,” he said. 

Oxford coach Melissa Paulhus was nothing 

but pleased with her team all year. 

“It was a tough season, but I talked to the 

girls at the end of the game and we talked 

about all the positive things that happened 

throughout the year,” she said of her team, 

which finished 0-20. “They never hung their 

heads down. They always gave 110 percent on 

the court. I would rather coach these girls 

than a team that made states.”

Pioneers advance to Clark Tourney finals 

SHEPHERD HILL BESTED IN CLOSE-FOUGHT CONTEST 



WORCESTER — A team can win 

in many different ways, and the 

Southbridge basketball team can 

attest to that. 

The Pioneers, a fast transition 

team that routinely scores in the 70s, 

were held in check for 49 points last 

night against a tough Shepherd Hill 

defense in a large schools Clark 

Tournament semifinal at the 

Kneller Athletic Center. 

But No. 3 Southbridge held No. 7 

Shepherd Hill to 46 points, as the 

Pioneers escaped with a three-point 

victory. They move on to the final at 

7:45 p.m. Saturday against No. 5 

Groton Dunstable, who upset topseeded 

Quabbin, 37-30. 

“We held the game where we 

wanted to hold it,” Shepherd Hill 

coach Duane Corriveau said. We 

just didn’t hit our shots.” 

With 12 seconds to play, and 

Southbridge holding the 49-46 lead, 

Hashian Rosario (13 points and 11 

rebounds) missed two foul shots. 

Shepherd Hill’s Ryan Begreen, the 

team’s leading scorer, brought the 

ball up. His 3-point desperation 

attempt with only a few seconds to 

show on the clock was defended by 

Victor Martinez. Martinez played it 

nicely, stripping the ball, and the 

Pioneers celebrated on the court. 

“That is what you play for,” 

Southbridge coach Bob Fowler said. 

“To make it this far … right now 

we’re speechless.” 

Southbridge (18-3) plays in the 

final after two straight years of losing 

in the opening round, while 

Shepherd Hill (12-9) prepares for the 

Division 1 Central Mass. tournament. 

“It was a back and forth game,” 

said Shepherd Hill point guard 

Kevin Pastore (12 points and 11 

rebounds). “We just couldn’t finish 

it off. Districts should be fun.” 

All four quarters were tightly contested, 

as the Rams held a 13-10 edge 

after one quarter. 

Things got even closer in the second, 

as Shepherd Hill went into 

intermission nursing a one-point, 

23-22, lead. 

The scoring picked up in the third, 

with the lead changing hands 12 

times. The largest lead the entire 

frame was just two points. 

Rosario’s deep jumper at the 

buzzer put the Pioneers up, 37-36, 

heading into the final eight minutes. 

Southbridge never trailed in the 

Minutemen get ready for district tournament

fourth, with their largest advantage 

being six points. It got as close as 

one three different times, but the 

Rams could never fully close the gap. 

“Westgate wasn’t on, Begreen 

wasn’t on,” Corriveau said of his 

two leading scorers. 

Westgate did finish with 28 points, 

but on 7-of-19 shooting. Begreen was 

held to four points, shooting 1-of-12 

from the field and 0-for-10 from 

beyond the arc. 

With Southbridge leading 47-43, 

Mike Agbortoko came up with an 

offensive rebound and drew a foul. 

He hit one free throw, but Rosario 

came up with another offensive 

board, something Shepherd Hill did 

a good job of limiting all game. 

Rosario then hit one of two shots, 

upping the Pioneers’ lead to six. 

Westgate hit a 3-pointer with 17 

seconds left, but Shepherd Hill 

couldn’t get any closer, with 

Martinez’s big stop on Begreen 

being the final blow. 

“We completely held the defensive 

rebounds until the next to last foul 

shot,” Corriveau said of 

Agbortoko’s and Rosario’s 

rebounds, which gave Southbridge 

two extra points. 

“The kids played well,” Fowler 

said. “That’s a tough Shepherd Hill 

team.” 

Fowler also said it was the toughest 

of the three contests this season 

against the Rams. Souhbridge won 

the other two contests, 68-64 and 73- 

54. 

“Down the stretch we had a couple 

key rebounds to fall our way,” said 

Martinez, who scored 13 points. 

“We’re a little shocked,” he continued. 

“We came out, did what we had 

to do, and got a win.” 

Southbridge point guard Jose 

DeLeon (12 points) added that a halftime 

pep talk about making it to the 

semifinals wasn’t good enough. He 

wants to win it all. 

One more victory on Saturday 

will do just that for the Pioneers. 



CHARLTON — Riding a seven-game winning streak, 

the Bay Path girls’ basketball team is firing on all cylinders 

heading into the Division 3 Central Mass. 

Tournament. 

The Minutemen, who finished with a 16-4 record, feature 

a squad with many quality players who excel at all 

different aspects of the game, rather than having a 

team with one or two superstars. 

Come postseason time — which started Wednesday 

against No. 11 University Park — a well-rounded group 

is usually more capable of making a deep playoff run. 

“They are excited,” Coach Jeannine Lambert said of 

her team’s preparation heading into the tournament. 

“When we went through the final seven games, they 

were up for every game. They were very, very aggressive.” 

A team with an aggressive defense is key for a tournament-bound 

team, and senior Karla St. Laurent 

leads that charge. 

“Karla is my outstanding defensive person,” 

Lambert said of her player who matches up with the 

opposition’s top scorer. 

St. Laurent is one of six players who contribute big 

minutes for Bay Path, as the six combined for a total of 

834 points throughout the season. 

Cousins Elizabeth and Angela Colon are both players 

who can shoot the deep jumper, and they both 

have good playmaking abilities. Lambert also 

noted the great speed of Angela, a sophomore. 

Elizabeth is a junior. 

Sam Parker and Iliana Joaquin, both juniors, 

bring an inside presence to the 

Minutemen. 

“We call Sam the garbage man because she 

can really rebound and put it back up offensively,” 

Lambert said. “Iliana can really block 

shots.” 

Nicole Primavera, a talented lefty, rounds 

out the top six. 

“She can drive to the basket and has good 8- 

foot, 10-foot jump shots,” Lambert said of the 

sophomore. 

Even though those players usually fill up 

the stat sheet, Bay Path is fortunate to also 

have a deep bench. 

Jordyn Philbrook, a junior, usually replaces 

Parker or Joaquin as an inside threat. She has 

the potential to be a good scorer and rebounder. 

Kayla Bicknell and Melinda Perain are both 

senior small forwards off the bench that have 

great athletic ability and can outrebound 

taller opponents. 

Junior Haylee Brodeur and sophomore Kimberly 

MacCue are versatile in the sense that they can both 

play either the guard or forward position. They can 

also both drain the outside shot. 

Rounding out the roster is senior guard Christina 

Colon, a sister of Angela. Christina is a 3-point extraordinaire. 

Lambert was pleasantly surprised with Bay Path’s 

regular season record, and looks forward to district 

play. 

“In all honesty, after the season got going I thought 

we would be able to get 11, 12, maybe 13 wins all season,” 

she said. 

But the seven-game win streak brought the 

Minutemen to 16 wins, including five nail-biters 

throughout the season, which resulted in Bay Path 

winning those games by four points or less. 

That type of confidence is very important in district 

play, as one loss brings the end to the entire season. 

Lambert looked back on Bay Path’s victory over 

Monty Tech, where they trailed by as much as 16. After 

sending the game into overtime, the Minutemen won 

scoring in the extra session, 8-2. 

“They were able to come back on several occasions,” 

she added. 

The Minutemen should also be confident because of 

one factor that is instrumental in close ball games, free 

throw shooting. Lambert’s squad shot 75 percent from 

the charity stripe this year.

Corps of Engineers announces 

upcoming events 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is heading 

into its seventh consecutive year of doing 

quarterly events. This year: Equinoxes and 

Solstices — an Observation Walk. 

An Equinox is the term for the two times of 

the year when the sun's position makes day 

and night of equal length in all parts of the 

earth. The tilt of the earth's axis is oriented 

neither from nor to the sun, causing the sun 

to be located vertically above a point on the 

equator. The name is derived from the Latin 

“aequus” (equal) and “nox” (night), because 

at the equinox the night and day are equally 

long. The vernal equinox and the autumnal 

equinox mark 

the beginning of the spring and fall seasons 

in the Northern Hemisphere. 

A solstice is an astronomical event that 

occurs twice a year when the tilt of the 

earth's axis is most oriented toward or away 

from the sun, causing the sun to reach its 

northernmost or southernmost extreme. The 

name is derived from the Latin “sol” (sun) 

and “sistere” (to stand still), because at the 

solstices, the sun stands still in declination. 

There is a summer and winter solstice and 

they have different significance for various 

religions. 

Come celebrate the arrival of spring 

Saturday, March 21 at 10 a.m. with an observation 

walk around Hodges Village. 

Using all your senses, we will discover two 

different trees and buds, wind, look for the 

first robin(s), talk about sap and nests and 

March facts. 

Vernal Pool Walks will be held Saturday, 

April 4 at 10:30 am. 

This is our usual trek to a vernal pool on 

the first Saturday in April. Meet Park Ranger 

Jamie Kordack at Hodges Village Dam utility 

building/conference center for a short 

slideshow and Q&A 

before heading out to pools around HV. 

On Saturday, April 11, at 10:30 a.m., meet 

Park Ranger Jamie Kordack at Buffumville 

Park for a longer hike to find obligate critters. 

For both walks dress in layers, wear good 

boots and bring a camera if you have one. 

For more information, contact Ranger 

Jamie at 508-248-5697 or

Local couple seeks lung transplant 

AUBURN RESTAURANT TO HOST BENEFIT FOR WOMAN 

STRUGGLING WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS 


Charlton residents Luke and Lila Harms. Lila suffers from cystic fibrosis and is seeking a lung transplant. 

To raise funds for the couple, a benefit will be held at Halligan’s Royal Lounge in Auburn Saturday, Feb. 28. 

BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL 


It is business as usual for 

one Charlton couple, despite 

the heavy burden they carry. 

“It is like going to work 

everyday,” said 27-year-old 

Shepherd Hill Regional High 

School graduate Luke Harms 

of caring for his wife, Lila, 

who suffers from cystic fibrosis. 

Now, to improve her health 

and hopes for a brighter 

future, Lila is seeking a lung 

transplant, but needs the 

community’s help. 

A benefit will be held 

Saturday, Feb. 28, at 

Halligan’s Royal Lounge in 

Auburn. Proceeds will be 

used to pay for travel expenses 

the couple expects to incur 

from having the procedure 

done in Pennsylvania. 

Health insurance coverage 

will cover the surgery. 

Lila was sleeping during a 

reporter’s visit to her home 

last week and was unavailable 

for comment. 

Getting to this latest chapter 

in coping with the disease 

has been a difficult and trying 

experience. 

Lila (nee Smith) was first 

diagnosed at 4 months old, 

her husband said. 

Specifically, the condition is 

a genetic disease that diminishes 

an individual’s lung 

capacity and fills the lungs 

with stick mucus. It also 

damages the digestive system. 

Approximately 1,000 

new cases are found annually 

and 70 percent are diagnosed 

before an individual is two 

years old, according to the 

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. 

Forty percent of sufferers 

are over age 18. The median 

survival age is 36.5, according 

to the group. 

“It’s pretty severe,” Luke 

said of his wife’s condition. 

As the patient, Lila is not 

the only person affected by 

her condition. Luke spends 

much of his time each day 

caring for her up until 1 p.m., 

when he leaves for several 

hours to work. He performs 

physical therapy for Lila, 

which is meant to clear her 

lungs, and administers medication, 

among other things. 

To help care for Lila, the couple 

moved into her mother’s 

Prindle Hill Road home, 

Luke said. 

What some might regard 

as a burden, however, Luke 

takes in stride. 

“That’s the easy part,” he 

said of the daily care. 

The hard part is just living 

their lives. 

Left with little strength 

most of the time, and having 

only limited lung capacity, 

Lila can’t leave home, except 

for doctor visits, he said. 

When she is up to it, the couple 

watches movies together, 

enjoying reruns of 

“Friends.” Despite her state, 

Lila enjoys knitting and 

weaving articles of clothing. 

“She is quite the good 

artist,” he said. “She is a 

happy person most of the 

time.” 

Luke would never have 

known that if not for their 

connection several years ago. 

Although both grew up in 

Charlton, they did not know 

each other until 2003. Luke 

took Lila rock climbing that 

year and it was all roses from 

there. The couple married 

June 3, 2006. 

Looking ahead, the couple 

is keeping a positive attitude. 

If successful, Lila could 

regain all of her lung capacity, 

which would dramatically 

alter her lifestyle, Luke said. 

Three prior attempts to get a 

transplant, he said, did not 

pan out. That has not stopped 

the couple. Luke quoted a 

notable line from the film 

“Apollo 13,” when mission 

controller Gene Kranz urges 

urging his colleague’s not to 

give up. 

“As they say, ‘failure is not 

an option,’” Luke said. 

The benefit, featuring dinner 

and other activities are 

scheduled to start at 6 p.m. 

Tickets will be sold at the 

door. Adult tickets are $10, 

and children’s admission is 

$5.

Relay for Life to increase its coverage area 

RELAY 


$100,000” and that with the other towns included, 

he believes they can surpass this number. 

He also mentioned that by bringing in the additional 

towns, he hopes new ideas will form as 

well. 

“The main thing is to get as many research 

dollars as we can,” he said. 

Relay for Life of Auburn co-Chairman Karen 

Sisko said she is in support of Gallant’s goal. 

She said she feels it is time for the Auburn 

event to experience growth. 

“If we don’t grow, I’m concerned the Auburn 

Relay for Life will fizzle out,” she said. 

Gallant is starting to drum up awareness 

about the idea to the other towns. He has 

already presented it to the Millbury Board of 

Selectmen and he said State Sen. Michael 

Moore has been helpful in getting him into contact 

with people from the town. 

“I think everyone was happy that I went and 

spoke,” Gallant said. “I’m hoping that things 

will get off the ground.” 

Millbury Board of Selectmen Vice Chairman 

Joseph Coggans expressed his enthusiasm for 

the expansion and said he has no doubt that 

Millbury will be a hefty contributor. He said 

Millbury has always been a “generous contributor” 

to the similar events adding that 

Millbury holds a Walk for Cancer every year. 

“The Millbury community has always 

stepped up to the plate,” Coggans said. 

Millbury Town Manager Robert Spain is 

looking forward to the event as well. 

“I think anytime you can raise money for 

cancer, it’s a good thing,” he said. “The Relay 

for Life has done really well.” 

Gallant said at last year’s Relay for Life there 

three areas for reform — ethics, 

process and voting. 

Highlights of the package include 

an eight-year limit on the Speaker’s 

term, mandatory ethics training, 

clarifications on gifts from lobbyists 

and the elimination of so-called 

“phantom voting,” which occurred 

last spring when a computerized voting 

mechanism on the house floor 

recorded several votes for State Rep. 

Charles Murphy, D-Burlington, who 

was in the Virgin Islands at the time. 

While democrats like Alicea hailed 

the reform bill as a good “first step” 

in the process of making the legislative 

method more open, some republicans, 

including State Rep. Paul 

Frost, R-Auburn, said the rules package 

lacked the necessary punch to 

drive ethics reform fully home. 

“We think it was a good thing, however, 

I don’t think the rules went far 

enough and it was somewhat of a disappointment,” 

Frost said. “It deals 

with the issues, but it has no teeth.” 

Frost said Republicans proposed 

several additions to the rules package, 

including splitting the House’s 

Ethics Committee membership evenly 

between democrats and republicans 

and calling for more transparency 

and accountability in Ethics 

Committee dealings. 

“There’s no question that there’s a 

dark cloud on Beacon Hill and this 

would have been a good step toward 

clearing that,” Frost said. “What 

[democrats] did do in the rules was a 

step forward to some degree, but 

when we attempted to add some teeth 

… and make each member responsible 

for their actions … that got rejected.” 

Under the new ethics guidelines, 

the Speaker and Minority Leader 

will be able to unilaterally remove 

both rank and file members and 

those appointed to leadership positions 

upon their criminal indictment. 

Representatives will also 

specifically be prohibited from 

receiving gifts from lobbyists. 

This rule has been on the books 

for some time, but until now only 

referred to “cash gifts” in excess 

of $100, not in-kind presents. 

Under process reform, the new 

rules will also make heavy use of 

the Internet, which legislators 

agree is the perfect medium for 

creating transparency in state 

affairs. 

Alicea said the state was working 

on implementing new software to 

improve ease of access on these sites. 

“We want people to be able to pull 

up the voting records, etc. [of their 

legislators],” he said. “You shouldn’t 

have to go through windows to figure 

that stuff out.” 

As a result of the changes, all bills 

introduced and admitted for consideration 

in the House will be available 

to members electronically and for 

online posting. Notice of committee 

hearings will also be posted on the 

Internet. 

The new rules will also hopefully 

eliminate “phantom voting” by 

requiring officials to disable the voting 

system of any member who has 

were 36 teams that participated. He said he is 

hoping to get at least 10 teams out of the three 

additional towns. Gallant also mentioned by 

adding the towns, there are more businesses 

and organizations that will be able to contribute 

to the event. He said he does understand 

that because of the economy, businesses might 

not be as willing to donate money. So, the committee 

is going to target the employees of these 

businesses and encourage them to form their 

own teams. 

Gallant stressed that the event is so important 

because there is not a single person who 

has not been affected by the disease. 

“I don’t think there is anyone in the population 

who has not been touched by cancer,” he 

said. 

Gallant encourages anyone who would like 

to be involved with the event to call him at 508- 

832-3664. 

notified the clerk that he will be 

absent for a formal session. 

The measure also requires the 

clerk to disable the voting system of 

any legislator failing to answer the 

first non-quorum roll call. 

House officials were debating 

installing card swiping systems that 

would unlock voting mechanisms, 

but Alicea said the aforementioned 

rule was reached as a compromise 

and a way to save money for the state. 

Overall, however, legislators universally 

said they hoped the numerous 

House rules reforms would simply 

help pave the way to a smoother 

and more open legislative session. 

Such caveats are important, legislators 

said, since 2009 is likely to be a 

year when cash will be short, cuts 

The Relay for Life was started in the mid- 

1980s by Dr. Gordy Klatt, a colorectal surgeon in 

Tacoma, Wash. who wanted to increase the 

income of his American Cancer Society office 

and show support for his cancer patients. 

Participants raise money and walk the entire 

night to signify that the disease never sleeps. 

The relay starts off with a survivors’ lap where 

any one who has battled the disease walk 

around the track. Since then it has grown to an 

annual international event. 

Every year, cancer patients, survivors and 

their friends and family flock to their local 

events and do laps around the track overnight 

to show their support and raise awareness.

According to the state, the 

recyclables market has been 

pummeled by the recent economic 

collapse. Since October, 

the Massachusetts Department 

of Environmental Protection 

(DEP) reports the price for 

recyclables in the northeast 

has dropped by 75 percent or 

more. 

This drop correlates to a 

drastic decline in consumer 

demand for new products, 

writes DEP official Brook 

Nash, a decline that reduces 

the need for metal, plastics and 

other materials used to manufacture 

new goods. 

“The result: a market that 

could barely keep up with the 

demand for new products six 

months ago was suddenly overstocked 

with inventory and 

needed less feedstock for new 

production,” she wrote. 

Proctor-Gray agreed, saying 

studies from the Sierra Club 

reported the market price for 

recyclable paper fell from $105 

to $20 per ton from October to 

December. Tin dropped from 

$327 to a shocking $5 per ton. 

One way to combat this market 

drop is to buy recycled 

materials, Proctor-Gray said, 

adding residents should urge 

local businesses to carry recycled 

products. 

“We can all do our part to 

help by making it a point to 

seek out products made from 

recycled materials and to let 

store managers know that we 

will buy those products,” she 

said. “For instance, we have 

noticed that facial tissues 

made from recycled paper 

(such as Marcal or Seventh 

Generation brands) are no 

longer available at our Webster 

Price Chopper, CVS, 

Walgreen’s or Rite-Aid. Let 

these stores know that you are 

looking for recycled brands.” 

Proctor-Gray said she was 

incredibly pleased with the 

high recycling rates Webster 

residents posted and added her 

hopes more people would make 

use of the town’s transfer station 

to get rid of their waste. 

The process is not complicated, 

she said, as Little River 

employs a single-stream recycling 

system that does not 

require sorting into separate 

recyclable types. 

Glass, mixed paper, tin, aluminum, 

corrugated cardboard 

and plastics are all accepted. 

Newspapers are the only 

item residents will need to separate. 

In addition to the program at 

the transfer station, Proctor- 

Gray called attention to several 

other opportunities for recycling 

in Webster: 

• Books, videos, DVDs, and 

CDs may be donated to the Got 

Books program by placing 

them in the large collection bin 

at the Webster Police Station 

on Thompson Road. 

• Cell phones may be recycled 

via postage-paid envelopes 

available at Corbin Public 

Library or at Bartlett High 

School. 

• Rechargeable batteries and 

mercury-containing products 

(thermometers, thermostats) 

are collected at the Board of 

Health in Town Hall. 

The Webster Recycling 

Commission is a nine-member, 

all-volunteer committee that 

originally formed with the 

charge of putting a recycling 

program in place in Webster. 

Today their activities focus 

mainly on litter cleanup, raising 

communal environmental 

awareness and hazardous 

waste collection days. 

Both state and local officials 

say they are hopeful the global 


Webster residents thanked for ‘keeping town green’ 

RECYCLE 


recyclables market will soon 

recover, but acknowledge 

much of this will hinge on a 

broader economic recovery in 

U.S. markets. 

For now, however, Proctor- 

Gray just wants everyone in 

town to keep up their high 

level of stewardship and keep 

on recycling. 

“Anything that just gets 

thrown away is either going to 

be burned or thrown in a landfill 

… and we all know that 

spaces for those are running 

out and burning pollutes our 

air,” she said. “So it just makes 

sense to avoid creating this 

kind of trash whenever we 

can.”

Trespassers set small fire in 

abandoned building 

WEBSTER — At approximately 7:50 p.m. 

Friday, Feb. 20, Webster Police Dispatch 

received a call reporting an unknown type 

fire in the area of 359-385 block of Main 

Street. 

This report was unclear as to whether or 

not the fire was inside the building or outside. 

The 359-385 block of Main St. has been 

condemned by the Webster Board of Health 

and has been clearly posted as such as well as 

posted no trespassing. 

Upon arrival at the scene, Det. Wentworth 

observed flames to be visible in the basement 

of the rear of 385 Main St. Detective 

Wentworth was also able to see two subjects 

inside the building. These subjects were 

later identified as Michael Buduo, 43, of 37 E. 

Main St. in Webster and Miguel Mercado, 43, 

of 4 Oak St., Dudley. These subjects initially 

denied knowledge of any fire, which had 

been extinguished prior to the subjects exiting 

the building. 

Upon entering and inspecting the building, 

Det. Wentworth and Assistant Webster Fire 

Chief Brian Hickey located three canisters 

of a wax type substance that had been 

burned. These objects were located just 

inside the door, which had been broken into. 

One canister was still smoldering and the 

basement was full of smoke. Evidence at the 

scene suggested that the fire had been extinguished 

with a bottle of beer and that there 

was no extension. 

During the questioning, the two subjects 

stated they had entered the building to have 

some beers and started the fire in order to 

keep warm. They stated they had been frequenting 

the building for about a month. 

The building in question had been previously 

been condemned due to its extremely 

deteriorating conditions. The building is 

known to public safety responders in town to 

have many holes in the floor and collapsing 

areas. 

These subjects were subsequently placed 

under arrest. They were transported to the 

Webster Police Department where they were 

booked and charged with breaking and 

entering with the intent to commit a misdemeanor 

trespassing. 

Bail was set at $200 each and both subjects 

were being held in the Webster Police 

Lockup Facility.

on line: http://www.ccatconnect.org/volunteerapp.html. 


Pictured below, Dudley volunteers Susan Mufti with 

son Jamal and daughter Aisha and Diane Beaudry. 

At right, lovey-dovey “Momma” is not looking happy 

being cooped up in a cage. This beautiful 1-year-old 

is very affectionate and loves to be held and is looking 

for a lap. 

NEWS BRIEF 

FIRE AND ICE 


STURBRIDGE — Elena Ralph, 3, of 

Webster inspects the ice blocks cut at 

Old Sturbridge Village at OSV’s recent 

“Fire & Ice Day” celebration as her 

brother, Joseph M. Ralph, 9, tries his 

hand at cutting ice the old fashioned 

way. OSV historians demonstrated an 

1830s ice harvest by cutting ice 

blocks on the frozen mill pond. New 

England ice was an important “cash 

crop” in the 1800s and was shipped to 

the tropics for refrigeration. Old 

Sturbridge Village also offers sledding 

and ice skating this year, and will feature 

horse-drawn sleigh rides daily during 

school vacation week Feb. 14-22, 

snow permitting.



Who has the right to complain 

We are living in unsettling 

times — so unsettling 

that people are 

ready to forfeit their 

basic liberties to those who they 

think just might be able to save 

them. 

Christians are in awe as they 

watch economies collapse and 

world powers rise just as scripture 

predicted, but we are still shocked 

and saddened at the sight. Of late, 

most of the American public feels 

like they have been violated. 

Millions of dollars have been swindled, 

trillions in taxes are being 

levied, and our entire nation is 

morphing into something very different 

than was intended by our 

founding fathers. All these developments 

have generated a great deal 

of complaining. 

I pose the question: Who has complaining 

rights? 

Wall Street was greedy. 

Executives lied and cheated. 

Politicians manipulated and sold 

out their constituents. Contracts 

were broken. Schools became dangerous. 

History was rewritten. 

Decency disappeared. It seems like 

the world is spinning out of control! 

For America the problem is 

painfully simple. Over time, many 

Americans have chosen to change 

their basic value system. Every 

honest historian will tell you the 

same thing the engravings on our 

nation’s federal buildings and monuments 

declare — we are a nation 

that was founded under God. Our 

government was founded on the 

principles of the Ten 

Commandments — that’s a fact. It 

is incredible that we should seem so 

shocked that the building is crumbling 

when we have systematically 

allowed every branch of government 

to remove the very foundation 

BEYOND 

THE PEWS 

JOHN 

HANSON 

of our country. We have no right to 

complain, if we did not resist this 

trend. 

The truth is some of you may 

have complaining rights. If you 

have rejected the status quo morals 

of our day that allow for cheating 

on spouses, little white lies, and 

self-centered living then you have a 

right to complain when executives 

and politicians live out those values. 

If you are committed to being 

honest on your taxes, paying your 

bills, sacrificing for your family, 

and spending your money wisely, 

they you have a right to complain 

when others in your society do otherwise. 

If you have remained true 

to the Ten Commandments, then 

you’ve earned the right to complain 

about a nation gone rogue. 

Of course, complaining does little 

good. Even prayer only goes so 

far. God answers prayer, and God 

could do some things to intervene, 

but it will always come back to the 

will of the people. Unless America, 

as a whole, chooses to live by God’s 

morals and values, it will continue 

to crumble. We should pray for our 

country, but God won’t cheat for 

any nation or individual. 

Here’s the good news. 

If you live in a nation that does 

not choose wisely as a corporate 

entity, you can still succeed as an 

individual. You can be a bright 

light in a dark world, a rose among 

thorns, a wise person among fools. 

Then you will discover that complaining 

is a waste of time, but 

helping other individuals rediscover 

things like purity, honesty and 

integrity will change the world — 

at least your world. More important 

than a right to complain is the Godgiven 

right and power to choose. 

You may have been violated, but 

you have the opportunity to see that 

no one is violated as a result of 

your actions. No world leader will 

solve this crisis, but your right personal 

responses will insure a strong 

personal foundation. If enough 

other people choose well, entire 

nations will be blessed. If not, at 

least you and yours will be blessed, 

both now and forevermore.

NEWS BRIEFS 

MSBA to accelerate $3M to Dudley/Charlton district 

BOSTON — Rep. Paul Kujawski, D-Webster, and Katherine Craven, Massachusetts 

School Building Authority (MSBA) executive director, have announced that the MSBA 

has accelerated $166 million in payments to more than 130 cities, towns and regional 

school districts. 

These payments will provide much needed cash to communities at a time of local fiscal 

stress and recently announced cuts in local aid that includes a total of $3,188,650 for 

the Dudley-Charlton Regional School District in the form of Prior Grants. 

“During these tough financial times our district can use every bit of help we can 

receive,” said Kujawski. “MSBA has continued to be a large part of our community’s 

educational system as they are strong supporters of Dudley-Charlton Regional School 

District.” 

“Under the former program, a majority of these payments wouldn’t have been made 

until the last day of the fiscal year,” said Craven. 

To date, the MSBA has made approximately $6 billion in reimbursements to cities and 

towns for school construction projects inherited from the former program. These payments 

have saved municipalities millions of dollars in interest costs and reinvigorated 

a system that once had approximately $11 billion in outstanding obligations. In its fouryear 

history, the MSBA has successfully contained the Commonwealth’s formerly rampant 

and unsustainable financial liability for the costs of 1,150 local school construction 

projects. In 2007, the MSBA was able to reopen a sustainable, reformed grant program as 

a result of programmatic reforms and sound fiscal management.

Local skaters take center stage at Bay State Games 

AUBURN — Leila Wang of Northborough, Elisa 

Raymond of Sutton and Brianna DeMartino of 

Oxford competed recently at the Bay State Games 

hosted at Williams College, Williamstown. 

The Bay State Winter Games are part of the 

Massachusetts Amateur Sports Foundation. The 

games are an Olympic-style sports festival that allows 

participants to have a great experience in their sport 

and to take in all the other competitions that the 

Games offer. 

The 2009 Bay State Winter Games celebrated its 24th 

year this season with more than 700 participants in 

figure skating, alpine skiing and ice hockey. The 

Winter Games remain a popular competition for athletes 

of all ages from across the Massachusetts. 

Elisa placed sixth in her age division with a nice 

program skated to “Cirque de Soleil.” She completed 

all required elements including landing the infamous 

axel jump to open her program. 

Brianna placed fifth with her entertaining rendition 

of “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” 

Leila performed a near flawless program to the ballet 

“Giselle” which won her a silver medal and 

secured a spot for her in the state games to be held in 

Colorado Springs, Colo., this summer. 

The girls workout at the Horgan Arena, located in 

Auburn and represent The Central Massachusetts 

Figure Skating Club under the coaching direction of 

Tracy Griffin. 

Congratulation girls, we look forward to hearing 

more about the skaters from Central Massachusetts 

FSC in March when many of them will compete in the 

38th Annual Skating Club of Natick Competition. 

Several local skaters took part in the 2009 Bay State Winter Games recently, which celebrated 

its 24th year this season with more than 700 participants in figure skating, alpine skiing and 

ice hockey.
