Voters choose Stevens, Torti for Spencer posts
BY ELISA KROCHMALNYCKYJ
NEW LEADER CORRESPONDENT
SPENCER — The majority of
the 896 voters who turned out
Tuesday, May 8 elected John F.
Stevens to the Board of
Selectmen and Laura Torti as
the new town clerk.
By a vote of 686-186, Stevens, a
local business owner and former
Finance Committee member,
beat Louis A. Graziano, a
political newcomer.

Stevens, with his arms around
his wife, stood in the Great Hall
in Memorial Town Hall, waiting
until the last precinct was
counted before accepting victory.
Speaking soon afterward, he
said that being part of the election
process firsthand was an
extraordinary experience.
“It filled me with a sense of
pride to be part of the electoral
process that’s carried this country
for centuries,” he said. “It
was humbling to be a part of it.”
Still, he said, he’s happy it’s
over.
“I am ready to get to work,” he
said. “After talking to so many
people, I’m anxious to deal with
real issues instead of hypotheticals.”
Stevens attributed much of
his success to the supporters
who helped him.

SPENCER — With the
owner’s project manager and
designer hired and engineers
looking over the building,
local residents will get its
chance next week to give
their thoughts on the David
Prouty High School feasibility
study.
Community workshops
will be held Wednesday, May
23 at East Brookfield
Elementary School and
Thursday, May 24 in the high
school auditorium in
Spencer. People in Spencer
and East Brookfield can
attend either or both workshops,
which start at 7 p.m.
Owner’s project manager
Trip Elmore, from Dore and
Whittier in Newburyport,
explained the School
Building Committee is following
rules set by the
Massachusetts School
Building Authority, which
has agreed to pay 57.74 percent
of the project costs.
The first step was to hire
Dore and Whittier as the
owner’s project manager. The
second step was to hire a
designer. In March, the
Building Committee and the
MSBA picked Design
Partnership of Cambridge,
Inc., in Charlestown.
With that complete, Elmore
said, the feasibility study can
begin. Design Partnership
will identify “flaws or benefits
of the existing facility,”

Town Meetings OK Warren school projects
BY DAVID DORE
NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER
WARREN — Quaboag
Superintendent of Schools
Brett Kustigian was pleased
Warren voters approved a
debt exclusion for repairs
and upgrades to two schools
in that community.
But, he noted, there were
still two votes to go before
work at Quaboag Regional
Middle/High School and
Warren Community
Elementary School could
move ahead: the Annual
Town Meetings Tuesday,
May 8 in Warren and West
Brookfield.
Warren was the first to
approve the articles for both
projects, followed minutes
later by an affirmative vote
in West Brookfield for the
Quaboag project.
Kustigian said following
the Warren vote he felt
“relief at first, incredible
excitement and an incredible
enthusiasm to put forth an
educational experience for
our students that is going to
lead the state of
Massachusetts and potentially
the nation.”
He added later, “Now I can
wipe the sweat off my brow.
The debt exclusion vote was
nice, but it wasn’t final. You
never count your chickens
before they hatch. It’s nice to
have an overwhelming
majority support this.”
The $1.4 million proposal
for the Warren schools
includes many of the same
items West Brookfield voters
approved last year for their
elementary school — new
laptop and desktop computers,
improved wiring for the
in-school network, wireless
Internet capability, and a
projector and SMART Board
in each classroom. New carts
would bring the laptops to
classrooms where they
might be needed.
“This is going to help with
our Innovation Schools. It’s
going to open up many other
opportunities for grant funding,”
Kustigian said. “And
the culture of the school district
is going to be at an alltime
high right now. So I just
can’t wait to get to work.”
Quaboag Regional
Middle/High School would
also get a new hot water
heater, variable speed drive
pumps, digital controls for
the heating, ventilation and
air conditioning system,
repairs to cracked walls and
settling floors, a ride-on floor
burnisher, a new clock system,
repairs to the parking
lot and athletic court and a
new fire alarm system.

BY DAVID DORE
NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER
SPENCER — There have
been times when Andrew
Cole and Kenneth Arnold,
members of the David
Prouty High School Class of
1981, were in the same city
yet their paths did not cross.
On Thursday, May 10, in
their hometown of Spencer,
their paths crossed when
they were named this year’s
recipients of the David
Prouty Distinguished
Alumni Award.
Arnold and Cole spoke
with seniors and members of
the National Honor Society
and Student Council in the
school auditorium. They also
had their picture taken and
went to the Spencer Country
Inn for lunch.
According to former
Prouty guidance counselor
Richard Gaudette, who
brought back the
Distinguished Alumni program
several years ago,
Spencer Savings Bank provides
the funding for it. The
two honorees are picked from
a list of candidates by a committee,

Leicester Public Library gets $4.1M state grant
LEICESTER — The Leicester
Public Library received notification
May 3 the Massachusetts
Library Board of Commissioners
approved a $4.2 million grant proposal
request.
This grant, added to a $2 million
pledge made last April from an
anonymous donor, plus support
from local businesses and residents,
totals almost 80 percent of
the $8.1 million fundraising goal to
renovate and expand the town landmark.
The MBLC added Leicester to the
Massachusetts Public Library
Construction Program Waiting List
at its May 3 board meeting at the
Walpole Public Library. Funding
for Waiting List libraries depends
on several factors, including the
state’s five-year capitol plan and
whether libraries that have provisional
grants are able to secure
local match funding and move forward
with a project.
In the early 1890s, plans for the
new Leicester Public Library started
with a $6,000 donation from the
estate of Dr. Pliny Earle. The building
was designed free of charge by
well-known Worcester architect
Stephen Earle, a nephew of Pliny
Earle. The land was donated by
town father Lory Watson. A gift to
Leicester residents, the historic red
granite building was constructed
on Main Street (Route 9) and stands
today — listed on the National
Register of Historic Places — as
one of the most notable structures
in town.
Stephen Earle had the vision to
know, one day, expansion would be
necessary. His foresight is evident
as the library’s rear wall is made of
red brick and is a non-load bearing
wall. It was designed to be removed
relatively easily for expansion of
the building as Leicester’s population
grew.
The library was designed to serve
a town with 1,000 residents. Today,
11,000 people reside in Leicester.
The current space is not adequate
to serve the needs of all and more
importantly, most of the building
and its contents are not accessible
to anyone who is unable to navigate
the five stairs at the front entrance.
A ramp provides access to the lower
level, which houses the children’s
resource section. Adults who are
unable to climb the stairs must ask
library staff to bring books and
other resource material to them
from the upper floors.
Fifty-four percent of Leicester
residents hold library cards. An
even greater number of people use
the electronic and other resources
the public library offers. More
space is needed and the entire facility
must be accessible to provide
service and resources to all.
“As a group of private citizens,
we are committed to raising the
remaining funds needed through
voluntary contributions instead of
going to the town leaders to request
a debt exclusion and therefore burdening
our townspeople with added
taxes,” said Ernestine “Teena”
Cherry, chair of the Renovation
Fund Campaign.
“We are the beneficiaries
of
tremendous generosity
more
than a century
ago when the library was built. We
are building on that legacy. We are
very excited and grateful to the
MBLC, our anonymous donor and
everyone who has provided support

to date. We are not done, however,
and our Campaign Committee continues
to reach out seeking the
funds necessary to complete the
$8.1 million dollar project.”

‘No Daddy’ cat fixing
campaign hits 200 mark
EAST BROOKFIELD — Second Chance
Animal Shelter is offering $30 cat neuters,
including a rabies vaccine, as part of its “No
Daddy” Campaign. This campaign runs now
to Father’s Day. The shelter is quickly closing
in on the 200 mark in the goal to fix 500 male
cats.
“People often forget that male cats are also
part of the overpopulation problem,” stated
Executive Director Sheryl Blancato. “Male
cats can easily impregnate several females in
a short period of time if allowed outside. In
addition, if the male cat is in house, getting
the cat neutered will help to stop spraying
and the odor of male cat urine. It is healthier
for the cat and will help to save lives by avoiding
the chance of them getting a female cat
pregnant.”
Female cats can also be done at Second
Chance for $65, including a rabies vaccine, as
well. As of May 7 Second Chance is already
approaching the 200 mark in the campaign.

website at www.secondchanceanimals.org.

Goal reached of AEDs in all of district’s schools
DENTIST’S DONATION, SPENCER BOARD COMPLETE PURCHASE OF DEVICES
BY DAVID DORE
NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER
SPENCER — For several years, Sheree
Jolicoeur has been working to get defibrillators
into each of the schools in Spencer and
East Brookfield.
Thanks to donations from a few groups
and a local dentist, that is about to happen.
Jolicoeur, the nurse at Lake Street School
and nurse leader of the Spencer-East
Brookfield Regional School District, said she
has written grants and worked with businesses
to get the donations needed to buy the
defibrillators.
The devices administer an electric shock
to a person’s heart to stop a sudden cardiac
arrest. A computer determines whether a
shock is needed and then gives it if necessary.
According to the University of
Pennsylvania, sudden cardiac arrest affects
an estimated 500,000 people every year. For
every minute someone having a heart attack
goes without defibrillation, the chances for
survival decrease by 7-10 percent.
David Prouty High School got a defibrillator
a few years ago from the Spencer Rescue
Squad for its athletic program. With assistance
from the rescue squad, the David
Prouty Athletic Booster Club bought two
Philips Heart Start defibrillators — one for
the high school, the other for Knox Trail
Junior High School.
That left the district’s four elementary
schools, which did not have automated external
defibrillators.
“Incidences that have occurred in local
schools where an AED would have saved a
life have been occurring at an alarming
increase,” Jolicoeur said. “This made getting
the AEDs for our schools more important
to me.”
Lake Street School got its device in
February through an arrangement with the
Spencer Parks and Recreation Commission.
According to Jolicoeur, the defibrillator will
be at Lake Street from September to June,
and at Luther Hill Park from June to
September.
Dr. Kevin Grace, a dentist in Spencer, gave
$3,904 to the district to buy Philips Heart
Start defibrillators for Maple Street School,
Financial management
board is doing survey
SPENCER — The Town of Spencer, through its Board of
Selectmen, has established the Financial Management
Planning Committee for the purpose of preparing a comprehensive
long-term financial and capital management
plan for the town that will allow for the implementation
of a responsible program to fund capital projects, while
providing and maintaining existing services.
The plan will require forward thinking and responsible
projections of the major challenges facing the town in the
next 10 years.
The committee is comprised of two members of the
Board of Selectmen, two members of the Finance
Committee, one member of the Capital Planning
Committee and Town Administrator Adam Gaudette
(non-voting). The committee interacts with the town
administrator through the Board of Selectmen committee
members, and the administrator works in conjunction
with the committee to achieve its goals.
Capital projects with regards to this committee are
defined as primarily long-term capital projects (such as
buildings, roads, water and sewer) that can reasonably be
funded for 20 or more years and have useful lives that may
exceed that term. Examples of projects that have currently
been identified include, but are not limited to,
school district capital needs, departmental capital needs,
downtown revitalization projects, town building renovations,
road pavement requirements and departmental
construction.
The committee has been interacting with the town
administrator in preparing a draft of the financial plan,
which will be presented at a later date to the Board of
Selectmen, reviewed and presented at a public hearing.
The intent will be to elicit feedback from the board and

put in all of the schools in the district, thanks in part to a donation from Grace.
Wire Village School and East Brookfield
Elementary School.
“Our gratitude goes out to everyone that
has generously donated or worked toward
reaching our goal with AEDs in every
schools,” Jolicoeur said. “The community
spirit is fantastic. We assure our community
that safety for all our children and staff is a
top priority. We all hope and pray that they
are never needed for anyone, but having the
security of a life-saving device available to
use is very comforting.”
Grace explained he was spurred to give
the donation after seeing a news report
about a hockey player who took a puck to his
chest and there was a defibrillator in the
building.
“I thought, ‘What if we had one here?’” he
said. “I thought I would fill the gap.”
The Philips defibrillators have clear
instructions on how to use them, Jolicoeur
said, but people have to be taught to use
them correctly.
“School nurses, coaches, athletic directors,
principals and teachers are all being
trained for the AEDs along with CPR practices,”
she said.
The devices are kept in either locked cabinets
with alarms for open access or carrying
cases, Jolicoeur said.
The Spencer-East Brookfield district has a
policy on automated external defibrillators
that includes checklists and regular inspections.
“It’s not without work by any means, and
having these is definitely well worth it,”
Jolicoeur said. “A life is precious.”

the community before any votes at a Town Meeting and
implementation.
To consider funding sources for these projects (such as
stabilization funds, periodic free cash, commitment of
funds to long-term debt service), the committee will have
to
consider the overall composition of the town’s operating
budget to recommend target funding levels as a percentage
of the overall budget for various services. The
committee has thus been evaluating the finances of the
town over recent years.
Now that the committee has evaluated the town’s recent
financial history, along with evaluating the long-term
capital needs of departments (through various studies
and analysis), the committee will now look forward as to
how to meet the challenge of funding these needs under
expected financial conditions. As
part of looking forward, the committee
would like some input
from its citizens.
A survey is being conducted
that asks several questions
regarding the satisfaction of
town services, as well as seeking
input from residents on prioritizing
the community’s capital
needs.
The survey can be downloaded
from the town website,
www.spencerma.gov, or picked up
at Memorial Town Hall.
Completed surveys may be
dropped off at Town Hall or the
Richard Sugden Library, or
mailed to Town Administrator,
157 Main St., Spencer, MA 01562.
They can also be faxed to (508)

Teens, seniors team up for ‘a night to remember’
SPENCER — The David Prouty High School
Student Council and Spencer Council on
Aging Director Pamela Woodbury teamed up
to give some of the town’s eldest residents a
night to remember.
The Spencer Fish and Game Club hosted a
senior citizens prom Friday, May 11. There
was food provided by Student Council members
(lasagna, garlic bread, ice cream and
drinks), decorations, plenty of dancing and
music, corsages for the ladies and even a king
and queen of the prom: Selectman Gary
Woodbury (Pamela Woodbury’s husband) and
Marge Lapierre, who turned 90 years old on
Friday.
According to Woodbury, 31 tickets were sold
for the inaugural edition of the event, which
she said she hoped would become an annual
tradition.
“We thought we would give them a taste of
yesterday,” she said.
The prom got a visit from Chauncey, a 6-year-old yellow
Labrador Retriever, and owner Bill Edwards. In
this photo, Edwards is placing a treat on Chauncey’s
nose so the dog can do a trick.

East Brookfield voters OK Town Meeting requests
BY DAVID DORE
NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER
EAST BROOKFIELD — Voters
at last week’s Annual Town
Meeting agreed to participate in
an opportunity that residents of
more than two dozen other towns
have also approved.
East Brookfield will join North
Brookfield, Brookfield, Spencer
and 26 other towns throughout
Massachusetts that have given
their leaders permission to negotiate
contracts on its own or in a
group through the Hampshire
Council of Governments to buy
electricity for businesses and residents.
The plan still needs
approval from the state
Department of Public Utilities.
The proposal and 21 others on
the Town Meeting warrant
Wednesday, May 9 “went along
pretty much without any issues,”
said Town Clerk Virginia Allen.
She added they were approved by
a majority of the 41 voters who
gathered at the Memorial Town
Complex.
Through its subsidiary
Hampshire Power, the council (a
nonprofit agency that is the successor
to Hampshire County government)
has been selling electricity
to more than 100 customers
throughout the state,
including nonprofit agencies,
small businesses and the
Massachusetts Department of
Fisheries and Wildlife.
The Towns of North Brookfield
and Brookfield get their electricity
from Hampshire Power, as do
Bay Path Regional Vocational
Technical High School in
Charlton, the Quabbin Regional
School District and the Dudley-
Charlton Regional School
District.
The Hampshire Council of
Governments claims it has saved
its customers more than $1.4 million
since 2006. It wants to bring
the possibility of those savings to
local businesses and residents,
since it can buy electricity at
wholesale prices without a broker.
National Grid would continue
to maintain the poles and transmission
lines, and respond to
emergencies. Under state law,
residents and companies can opt
out of getting their power from
Hampshire Power without paying
a penalty.
Also approved May 9 were next
year’s municipal budget, the
town’s $1,753,736 assessment to
the Spencer-East Brookfield
Regional School District, the
$151,854 budget for the town’s
ambulance service and 3 percent
raises for some municipal
employees and officials.

Mitchell earns write-in win
for his assessor’s seat
Town-To-Town Classifieds
BY ELISA KROCHMALNYCKYJ
NEW LEADER CORRESPONDENT
EAST BROOKFIELD — William B. Mitchell intended
to step down as town assessor, so he deliberately left his
name off the May 8 Annual Town Election ballot.
But voters elected him anyway.
“He got 28 write-ins, so I sent him a note offering him
the position, and he’s going to do it,” Town Clerk Virginia
Allen said, then laughed. “I think we kind of talked him
into it.”
Allen said that since there are two Bill Mitchells in
town, she is careful to clarify which one is the assessor.
“It’s ‘William B. Mitchell,’ or ‘the Bill Mitchell who
lives on South Street,’” she said.
NO OTHER CONTESTS
In an election that saw low turnout because there were
no “real” races, enough people voted to elect a slate of
mostly incumbents, including Selectman Leo Fayard.
Even for an election with no contests, turnout was low
at the election, Allen said.
“There were 104 who came out,” she said. “I would have
expected a few more, but the weather was wet and rainy,
and I think that may have had something to do with it.”
In addition to Fayard being elected to another threeyear
term, the following were elected: Linda V. LeBlanc,
Board of Health, three-year term; Ruth McNeaney,
Cemetery Commissioner and Trustee of Shade Trees and
Cemetery Funds, three-year terms.
Also, Heather Gablaski, Planning Board, three-year
term; Robert H. Allen, tree warden, one-year term;
Theodore A. Boulay Jr., Finance Committee, three-year
term; and Carol A. Howard and Lori Button, Trustees of
Public Library, three-year terms.
All four candidates for the Spencer-East Brookfield
Regional School Committee were unopposed and re-elected
by East Brookfield voters: East Brookfield representative
John J. Howard and Spencer representatives Kurt A.
Nordquist, Christopher J. King and Paul J. Fournier.
Despite the even-lower-than-anticipated turnout at the
election, Allen said she was pleased with the higher-thanusual
turnout at the Annual Town Meeting.
“There were 41 registered voters, but there were no big
things on the warrant,” she said.

VIEWPOINT
OPINION AND COMMENTARY FROM SPENCER, LEICESTER AND THE BROOKFIELDS
EDITORIAL
Spring
cleaning
It’s amazing how much stuff we collect
over time.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been
thinking more and more
about the items I’ve collected
— or more accurately
— how many
things I’ve lazily let pile
up around me.
It’s time to do a little
spring cleaning.
It starts with a realization,
like one I had the
other day. I have nowhere
THE MINOR left to put anything.
Every shelf, every nook,
DETAILS
every cranny, every corner,
every cabinet, every
ADAM MINOR drawer, every cubby and
every inch of every ledge
is occupied with something — and not
necessarily something I need.
Consolidation is hard, because it
means making some tough decisions in
the name of organization, and in my
case, the name of comfort. My place isn’t
exactly huge. It’s just right for our needs,
but letting things pile up is definitely not
in our best interest, especially if we want
to avoid stubbing our toes on random
objects as we head to the kitchen to get a
glass of water — which has happened
more than I’d like to admit!
Add to that the fact that my son (9
months old last week!) is now crawling
around and exploring our home like a
curious puppy, and that means being
extra careful where we place our things
(don’t worry, we baby proofed, so no fingers
in the outlets in the Minor house!).
Add up all those circumstances, and
you have a motivated father in super
organizational mode.
Which brings me to the reason I am
writing this column — I need some help,
and I’m reaching out to all of you, my
readers, for ideas!
Do you know of any creative ways to
organize? How do you deal with your
spring cleaning? How have you found
ways to get around the clutter? Send me
your ideas and hopefully I can publish
them in a future column, and selfishly, I
just might copy all of your ideas for my
own personal gain! Ah, the perks of writing
a column…
One idea I have heard thrown around is
the idea of the tag sale. I’ve done those
before, and in my experience, they have
always been more work than it’s worth,
but I guess many variables in play there.
I don’t know how many people would
want any of my things anyway, but I
guess you never know!
One thing I recently did was go through
all my old clothes. It’s amazing how many
either did not fit anymore (thanks a lot,
unhealthy eating habits!) or were rarely
or never worn due to forgetfulness or
change of taste (I swear, that $4.99 polo at
Old Navy was a great deal!). Recently, I
filled two garbage bags full of clothes and
am ready to bring them to the Salvation
Army (know of another local place that
might need some clothes? Let me know!).
Over the past couple weeks, we’ve made
some progress — but we have some work
to do to get where I want to be — a lean,
mean de-cluttered machine!
How do you all tackle your spring-cleaning
routine? Do you hold a tag sale? Give
things away? Make a trip to the dump?
Share your ideas with Adam Minor at 508-
909-4130, or by e-mail at aminor@stonebridgepress.com.

Being a resident of the northwest corner

used to all of those things.
I’ve even gotten used to the manure smell.

The manure that was laid this weekend
was a special blend of sewage and rotting
corpse. I’ve never smelled anything so offensive.
I don’t pretend to know the first thing

The narwhal
effect
AS YOU
LIKE IT
MARK ASHTON
“Narwhal” is not a word you really expect
to hear in a first-grade classroom.
Nevertheless, there it was, wafting over
the heads of some two dozen classmates,
who remained unfazed by its use from a fellow
first-grader.
The occasion was truly enjoyable. Invited
(after my pleading to be
allowed) to read to students
at a local elementary
school recently, I was
enjoying the question-andanswer
portion of the
guest-reading adventure.
The kids had just
learned something about
my day job (reporting “the
news” and getting to visit
schools, factories, hospitals,
businesses – anything
and everything local), and
I was in the process of
learning something about
their understanding of
the news biz.
“Wow — you guys are OLD compared to
those little kindergartners I visited last
week,” I said by way of trying to ingratiate
myself with them. Some of the kids had
already informed me of their familiarity
with newspapering. “I was on the front page
twice,” said one little man, explaining that
his cute puss had been featured when he was
just a tyke attending some sort of local event
with friends or parents.
Others, inspired by the first lad’s intimations
of immortality, recalled their own
fleeting flirtations with fame. Participation
in Little League, trips to swimming pools
and parks, attendance at town festivals and
holiday celebrations can all lead to the
appearance of one’s countenance on a “picture
page” or a “photo spread” in the local
paper.
And why not? Local news involves local
people of any and all ages, pretty much from
birth through death (and occasionally afterward,
depending on one’s “legacy”). One
hopes that the recorded achievements in
between those bookend milestones has nothing
to do with OUI’s, police logs, or sex scandals,
but – again – local news involves the
actions and activities of local people.
Thus, this particular group of firstgraders
was engaging in reminiscences (at
the ripe old ages of 6 and 7) that connected
them to important events and activities –
from the creation of their own classroom
journals to the first of their ongoing series
of graduations.
But it was the boy in the back whose comments
truly caught my ear. Explaining how
he could swim in unique fashion (something
to do with spiraling or corkscrew motions),
he searched for just the right name of the
animal whose motions he could emulate.
I suggested “porpoise” or “dolphin.” No,
he wasn’t quite satisfied. Then the light
went on over his head and I heard amid the
mild rumble of other speakers, “Narwhal!”
A vision of some almost mythical animal
– a cross between a small whale and a giant
walrus, with the ivory snout of a unicorn’s
horn – came to mind. I suddenly knew exactly
what he meant. We were on the same page.
Sometimes we wonder – or worry – about
the state of modern education. We remember
the “good old days” when we were students,
when math was math and English
was English, and history was a whole lot
less littered with terrorism and mostly a
matter of dusty timelines and (what we considered
boring) facts.
But after spending time with these youngsters,
and their truly committed and caring
teachers and aides, I’m not so worried anymore.
While modern education certainly faces
its challenges, among them fiscal constraints,
rampant political correctness, student
bullying, and badgered, often-beleaguered
educators, the exuberance of youth
and the inquisitivity (to coin a word) of
modern kids spell good things for the future
of education – and even mankind.
I don’t know that I’ve ever used the word
narwhal in casual conversation in my life,
but I was delighted to throw it back and
forth with these enlightened first-graders. I
can’t wait to return, to read to them again, to
see what else I can learn on my next visit as
a guest reader.
I already know two things for sure: Don’t
ever ask little kids “how old” they think you
are (they’ll answer everything from “30” to
“99,” and there goes your – and their – credibility);
and never cease to be amazed by
what you’ll hear from them. Art Linkletter
knew – and made a living off of – the wisdom
and insights of such youth. (Remember
his “Kids Say the Darnedest Things” TV
show segments? These need to be revived –
but perhaps with a standards censor close
by; today’s world is a tad more turbulent and
much less tactful than ours.)
“And a little child shall lead them” may be
one of those timeless truths we need to
remember, and reflect on, a little more often.

Mock crash at Quaboag brings home message of safety
Courtesy/Greg Myers photos
WARREN — The Quaboag Regional High
School Student Council staged a very realistic
“mock crash” for the junior and senior
classes Tuesday, May 8 near the school’s student
parking lot.
Juniors Alli Forte, Nick Mandigo, Elissa
Santos and Haley Fountain were dressed in
prom clothing and wore makeup that made
them appear to be victims in a crash.
Police officers from both Warren and West
Brookfield arrived to assess the scene and
aid “victims.” Fire trucks and ambulances
from Warren and West Brookfield arrived
soon after to rescue students from the crash
and provide medical attention.
The annual mock crash was a combined
effort involving the Student Council and the
police and fire departments from Warren and
West Brookfield.
“The main purpose is to help students
think about making better choices when it
comes to drinking and driving or getting into
a car with a drunk driver,” Quaboag
Principal Greg Myers said.
During a special presentation after the
mock crash, Becky Perrin was joined by her
daughters, Alexis and Demi, and spoke of
how she lost her eldest daughter, Abbigayle, a
Quaboag student, in a car crash in 2005. Mrs.
Perrin, Alexis, and Demi described how
painful it was to lose Abbigayle. They asked
students to make good decisions and never
put themselves in a situation that might
cause their families such pain. Their presentation
was very powerful. (The Perrin family
sponsors a scholarship for graduating seniors
in remembrance of Abbigayle.)
West Brookfield Fire Chief Paul
Lupacchino and West Brookfield Police
Chief C. Thomas O’Donnell Jr. also
addressed students about making safe choices.
Lupacchino spoke of his brother, Peter,
who was killed by a drunk driver.
(Lupacchino sponsors a scholarship for graduating
seniors in remembrance of Peter.)
O’Donnell spoke of the many times he has
had to deliver tragic news to families and
how one poor choice can change a life forever.
Both chiefs reiterated what Becky Perrin
said earlier: Make the right choice, be safe on
the road. Don’t make the people who love you
have to live without you.
“This presentation would not have been
possible without the Quaboag Student
Council and their advisor, Mrs. Alison
Jordan-Gagner,” Myers said. “Sincere thanks
to Chief Bruce Speiwakowski and the
Warren Police Department, Chief Jim Dolan
and the Warren Fire Department, Chief
Tom O’Donnell and the West Brookfield
Police Department, and Chief Paul
Lupacchino and the West Brookfield Fire
Department for conducting the mock crash.
Special thanks to Fijol’s Automotive for
allowing us to use two of their cars and to
Varnum Funeral Home for participating in
the mock crash scene.
“Quaboag students also sincerely thank

for sharing their memories of Abbi, whom
they love very much.”

East Brookfield man
arrested in Worcester
WORCESTER — On Thursday, May 10 at
approximately 3:03 a.m., Worcester police
responded to a report of two men breaking a
window to the Diamond Inn at 273 Grafton St.
and climbing into the bar.
The caller provided police with a physical
description of the suspects, as well as
describing the clothing that they were wearing.
The suspect’s descriptions fit that of the
suspects in an earlier break at The People’s
Market at 59 Providence St. and for the
attempted break and malicious mischief that
occurred at The Bargain Store at 190
Millbury St.
First arriving police officers observed a
man standing in front of the bar. At the same
time the officer observed a second man
climbing out of a window to the Diamond
Inn. The officer observed a large rock below
the window along with broken glass. When
both men realized the police were arriving,
they split up and ran off in different directions.
Police gave chase to the suspect seen
exiting the business. He was subsequently
apprehended and arrested in a wooded area
behind a nearby Cumberland farms.
The suspect was identified as Stanley
Vazquez, 22, of 117 Tarbell Drive, East
Brookfield. Vazquez was charged with malicious
destruction of property over $250,
breaking and entering in the nighttime with
the intent to commit a felony and resisting
arrest.
An extensive search of the area for the second
suspect provided negative results.
Vazquez was arraigned May 10 at the
Worcester County District Courthouse.
Statewide group recognizes RRI
employee for his efforts
WORCESTER — Albert Acheampong, an assistant program
supervisor at Rehabilitative Resources, Inc., was recently named
the winner of the Human Services Professional Award by the
Association of Developmental Disabilities Providers.
Acheampong was presented with his award at the ADDP
Annual Conference and Expo in Worcester on March 23.
Acheampong has devoted himself to his education and his
career. He recently received his associate’s degree from
Quinsigamond Community College and is working on his bachelor’s
degree. His co-workers at RRI describe him to be very adaptable,
a role model and someone who remains poised during a crisis.
These characteristics were tested during the October 2011
snowstorm when he seamlessly transitioned the people for whom
he was providing care from their power-less home to a location
with electricity — his apartment.
Everything ran smoother than planned and with the help of
Acheampong’s wife. They were able to provide a welcoming environment
for the individuals under his care, and ran operations as
if they were still at RRI. Albert’s generosity didn’t stop there.
After everyone settled into his apartment, Albert Acheampong
planned a pizza party and provided breakfast and lunch the next
day.
“We are so fortunate to have a compassionate employee like
Albert,” said Bonnie Keefe-Layden, the chief executive officer of
RRI. “His dedication to RRI and the people for whom he provides
supports and services make him a hero. Given the circumstances,
this could have been a difficult situation. Thankfully for Albert,
the situation was taken care of in a proper manner.”
The Human Services Professional Award is an opportunity to

BOSTON — Energy and Environmental
Affairs Secretary Richard K. Sullivan Jr.
recently honored 26 energy and environmental
education programs at the 18th Annual
Secretary’s Awards for Excellence in Energy
and Environmental Education.
During a State House ceremony, Sullivan
recognized 25 schools and one nonprofit from
24 communities across Massachusetts. The
awards credited programs in the categories
of renewable energy, water conservation,
environmental protection and recycling.
“Today we recognize the students and
teachers who work to raise awareness about
energy and environmental issues that affect
us all,” Sullivan said. “Going far beyond the
classroom, their efforts and their commitment
is an inspiration to our future energy
and environmental leaders.”
Winners were awarded $100 to $400 prizes.
Paid for by the Massachusetts
Environmental Trust, the awards are intended
to fund further environmental education
initiatives at the schools.
Among the winners were:
• Sturbridge: Tantasqua Regional School
District, “Solar Panel Projects on Roofs of
Junior High School,” School District Staff.
• Warren: Quaboag Regional Middle/High
School, “Quaboag Environmental Club,”
Grades 7-12, Nicholas Bostock, teacher.

Award nominations earlier this year. Schools
and organizations that voluntarily incorporate
environmental education into public or
private school curricula are eligible. The
Secretary’s Advisory Group on Energy and

Hospital offering free
blood pressure screening
WARE — The community is invited to
come to the Emergency Department at
Baystate Mary Lane Hospital daily from 6-9
a.m. to have their blood pressure checked at
no cost. No appointment is necessary.
“The staff in our emergency room is committed
to encouraging our community members
to take steps to better health, beginning
with knowing what their blood pressure is,”
said Lynn Garreffi, RN, MSN, PCCN, nurse
manager of emergency services at the hospital.
“We are encouraging our community
members to have this simple, but important
health screening.
“Hypertension, also known as high blood
pressure, often times has no symptoms at all,
and it is a common misconception that high
blood pressure is something that affects only
those who are older or obese,” said Garreffi.
“The reality is that while our blood pressure
does increase a little with age, high blood
pressure can happen to anyone regardless of
their age, gender or weight and high blood
pressure can lead to heart attacks, stroke or
kidney failure. Checking blood pressures is
our way of letting the community know that
we care about them everyday and not just
when they have a health emergency.
“Although our Emergency Department
staff focuses their efforts on emergency
stroke treatments, this effort will help us to
improve stroke prevention,” said Garreffi.
“While Baystate Mary Lane Hospital
received the American Heart
Association/American Stroke Association’s
Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Silver Plus
Quality Achievement Award, which recognized
the hospital’s commitment and success
in implementing a higher standard of stroke
care, we are committed to also focus on
stroke prevention.
“Over 40% of strokes could be prevented if
high blood pressure was controlled,” said
Garreffi. “By helping our community members
to know their blood pressure, we aim to
tackle this statistic. Stroke is devastating.
That’s why we’ll do all we can to prevent you
and your family from having
one, beginning with checking
your blood pressure for free.”
The nurse manager emphasizes
the importance of
screening to detect potential
problems before they become a
chronic health issue.
“Unfortunately, when left
untreated, high blood pressure
and related problems bring
patients to our emergency
department with serious medical
concerns,” said Garreffi.
“We want to identify those in
our community who are at
risk and help them to make
lifestyle changes that will promote a long and
healthy life.”
In addition to conducting blood pressure
assessments, the Emergency Department
team is prepared to share education on blood
pressure screening, follow up, free blood
pressure monitoring cards and information
for patients about the hospital’s primary care
practices and other relevant services upon
request.

It’s official: Cougars clinch district tournament berth
BY NICK ETHIER
SPORTS STAFF WRITER
Nick Ethier photos
Above, Quaboag’s Kaitlyn Ramsey keeps her head down and begins her swing of the bat toward
the ball. At right, Haley Fountain of Quaboag follows through on her release of a pitch to the
plate.
NORTHBRIDGE — Last spring
the Quaboag softball team waited
until the very end of the regular
season to punch its ticket into the
Central Mass. Division 3 district
tournament. But the Cougars —
who finished 10-10 — caught fire at
the correct time and ultimately
became the D3 champs while
advancing to the state semifinals.
This season Quaboag waited far
less time to officially become postseason
eligible.
The Cougars defeated
Whitinsville Christian, 9-0, on May
10 and are now 10-3, good enough
for a district tournament invite.
“It is a nice thing to have happen
a little sooner,” Quaboag coach
John Fox said. “It takes a little bit of
the pressure off. Now we just play
for seed.”
The Cougars displayed tremendous
pitching, sound defense and
timely hitting — the ingredients for
softball success — in the win. Haley
Fountain pitched a complete game
two-hitter, the defense behind her
turned 15 outs without committing
an error and the offense pounded
out 10 hits and scored five runs in a
crucial top of the second inning.
“They came ready to play,” Fox
said of his team. “[Fountain] mixed
them up today and she hit her
spots. She kept them off-balance.
“We played real well in the field,”
Fox continued. “We try getting
them to play good, solid, fundamental
softball.”
And as far as the hitting goes, Fox
always tells his team to “just go
with the pitch.”
Meanwhile, the Crusaders
dropped to 8-4 and are still just one
victory away from also qualifying
for the same Division 3 district
tournament (for the first time since
2009) that the Cougars gained
entrance into.
Whitinsville Christian coach
Kevin Conway hopes his team will
get into the tournament and parlay
the experience of playing against
Quaboag as an asset once in districts.
“You want to be prepared,” he
said. “We’re a win shy of qualifying
for the districts and hopefully we’ll
get there.”
The Dual Valley Conference, the
league in which the Crusaders play,
is strong and competitive, but it
doesn’t have quite the talent as the
Cougars’ Southern Worcester
County League, especially in the
pitching department where
Fountain is one of the top performers
in the circle.
“Our league, the DVC, is a strong
softball league,” Conway said. “The
competitiveness is very even, but
we don’t have a pitcher in our
league throwing at that level.”
Fox complimented Whitinsville
Christian by saying “they’re not
bad at all — a very good team in
their league.”
Fox also agreed that Fountain’s
pitching isn’t seen in the DVC.
“They don’t see a lot of pitching
like Haley with the speed and variety,”
he said.
Nonetheless, Conway was proud
of the way his team got the bat on
the ball — only six of Fountain’s 21
outs were via the strikeout.
“Some girls got some good swings
the second and third time around,”
he said.
The only instance where pitcher
Gwyn
Stahl and the defense behind her
didn’t live up to expectations was
the second inning.
“I’m a little disappointed in that
second inning,” Conway said of the
frame, which was a result of poor
decision-making. “We have to stay
away from those types of innings.”
In the second Quaboag’s Harlie
Wdowiak hit a bases loaded fielder’s
choice as Andrea Koslowski (2-
for-4) scored from third, just ahead
of the throw home from the
defense. Kaitlyn Ramsey (2-for-4)
then hit a 2 RBI single and the
Sweet sisters — Allyson and
Danielle — followed with an RBI
groundout and single, respectively.
The Cougars scored twice more
in the third inning (Jess McCann
RBI triple and Madison Messier
RBI single) and got two more insurance
runs in the fifth when
Ramsey’s triple plated a runner and
a throwing error brought her home.
“We’re disappointed but our
heads aren’t down,” Conway said.
“We have a lot of softball to play in
the next few weeks.”
Stahl and Morgan Vander Baan
had the hits for Whitinsville
Christian.
‘Excited’ Warriors wear down Panthers
BY NICK ETHIER
SPORTS STAFF WRITER
STURBRIDGE — With their backs against
the wall, the Tantasqua baseball team was
able to keep their postseason hopes alive with
a 9-2 victory over David Prouty on May 9. The
Warriors, 14-0 losers to Auburn on May 7,
were 5-10 heading into its contest with the
Panthers and must win all of their remaining
regular season games to become postseason
eligible.
One down, four to go.
“We need to win the next four,” Tantasqua
coach Mark Muska said.
The Warriors have been struggling at the
plate as of late, but they connected on 10 hits
and turned a 1-1 game into a 7-1 contest after
four innings thanks to a six-run fourth. Max
DeCataldo hit a sacrifice fly in the frame,
while Kyle Lavallee, Proulx and Charlie
DeCataldo ripped RBI hits for Tantasqua.
“It just takes a few hits and a few runs,”
Muska said. “They get excited — a little fired
up — and it’s contagious.”
Proulx was 2-for-2 with a pair of walks for
the Warriors, while Charlie DeCataldo and
Ryan Shannon were each 2-for-4.
Lavallee went the distance on the mound
for Tantasqua, scattering six hits and four
walks to go along with eight strikeouts.
“Kyle kept us in the game and pitched his
best game of the year,” Muska said. “He
pitched real well.”
Meanwhile, David Prouty dropped to 8-6.
“We’ve had a problem this year where we
play to our competition,” head coach Chuck
Fahey said. “We play up, we play down — for
some reason we weren’t up for this game. It’s
hit or miss.”
The Panthers have defeated the likes of
powerhouses Auburn and Oxford — and lost
a 2-1 decision to Northbridge — but have also
lost games they feel they should have won.
“Tantasqua is a good team, but they’re not
Auburn, Northbridge or Oxford right now,”
Fahey said. “We have to get more consistent.”
Jake Grenier was the starting pitcher for
David Prouty and he went the first five
innings, relinquishing eight runs — four
earned — on nine hits. He also struck out 10
batters. Ryan Fahey pitched the sixth inning
and surrendered a run on a hit and a walk.
Offensively, Jake Nadreau was 3-for-3 with
a walk and an RBI for the Panthers. Ryan
Fahey, Connor Fahey and Zach Howard contributed
the other base hits.
Tantasqua earns award: The Tantasqua
baseball team also recently won another
award, something that took place off the
field. The MIAA gave the Warriors the
Academic Excellence Gold Team Award for a
team combined GPA of 3.35. The team must
accumulate a combined GPA of at least 3.0 to
earn the award.
Update: The Warriors dropped a 5-4 decision
to Shepherd Hill on May 14, eliminating
their chances at a postseason berth. The
Rams hit a walk-off grand slam in the bottom
of the seventh inning to win it.

With runs at a premium, Rams score more to win
BY NICK ETHIER
SPORTS STAFF WRITER
DUDLEY — Runs were hard to
come by in the Shepherd Hill vs.
Tantasqua softball game played
May 14, but the Rams were able to
scrape a couple more across the
plate than their counterpart, which
resulted in 3-1 decision. Both teams
were looking for a much-needed
win as Shepherd Hill improved to 8-
7 and the Warriors dropped to 8-8.
“Everybody’s concerned about
getting enough wins to make districts,”
Shepherd Hill coach Paul
Enman said of getting to magical
win number 10 in the 20-game
schedule. “Both teams I’m sure
want to finish the season strong.”
“We have four [games] left and we
got to get half of them,” Tantasqua
coach Pete Casine said, also eluding
to the 10-win goal.
Shepherd Hill opened game scoring
in the bottom of the first inning
when Cassidy Colby and Molly
Covill each reached on errors.
Colby’s drive to left field was mishandled
by Claudia Fleshman and
Covill’s grounder to a stretching
Kayla DiBiasie was bobbled. Colby
scored as a result of Covill’s
grounder.
“We gave them a freebie in the

first inning,” Casine
said. “They’re not
routine plays [but] I
had that as
unearned.”
The Warriors tied
it up in the second
inning when Jeszy
McGuire, who singled,
scored on
Kaylee Desroches’
drive to right field.
Shepherd Hill’s
Kelsey Mosher
attempted to catch
the sinking liner but
couldn’t, which
resulted in another
unearned run.
Looking to take
the lead in the top of
the third, it
appeared that
Tantasqua would
have the bases
loaded with one out
but Olivia Brooks
slipped as she
attempted to stop at
third base. Brooks
was eventually
caught in a pickle
and tagged out.
“We made an out on third and left

Olivia Brooks of Tantasqua follows through on her release of a throw over to first base
for an out.
too many kids on base,” Casine
said, eluding to the events down the
stretch where the Warriors left
nine runners on base. “We didn’t
take advantage of the opportunities
we had.”
Shepherd Hill reclaimed the lead
in the bottom of the fourth inning
when Lauren Gorodeckas scored on
a passed ball.
The Rams then made it 3-1 in the
fifth inning, albeit over some controversy.
Mosher began the frame
with a walk and Colby followed
with a strikeout. The ball wasn’t
cleanly caught by Tantasqua catcher
Lauren DiCarlo, but with an
occupied runner on first base the
batter isn’t allowed to advance.
Colby originally ran toward first

base, which made
Mosher move over to
second. Colby was
then called out with
Mosher leading slightly off second
base. Mosher then made a slight
move back to first base thinking the
play was dead — all while Warriors
pitcher Jordan Kingman was in the
circle — but the umpires ruled that
Mosher could remain on second
rather than be called out.
Mosher eventually scored when
Shelby Stracher reached on an
error.
“Those are three tough runs,”
“...generated 15 new
customers from Spencer
and surrounding towns”
Wondering if advertising works???
See what one of our customers had to say…
Casine said of the first inning
errors, fourth inning passed ball
and the bizarre fifth inning scenario.
Nonetheless, even if
the fifth inning run didn’t
count, Casine’s
team would have still
trailed.
“We still would have
had to plate another
run,” he said.
Tantasqua couldn’t
do anything in the
sixth inning — Covill
retired the side in order
— but they attempted a
rally in the seventh and
final frame. Desroches
singled and Kingman
followed with a one-out
single. Then, with two
outs, DiBiasie’s sharp
grounder ricocheted off
first baseman Jill
Stevens’ glove, loading
the bases. DiCarlo followed
with a hard-hit
grounder to shortstop,
“Hi June-
I just wanted to let you know that since my first ad ran

and the relay throw to second base
was deemed just in time to record
the force out, much to the chagrin
of the Warriors’ faithful.
“The kids kept battling,” Casine
said. “We’ve been talking about
being aggressive early in the count,
and we did that today. We put balls
in play top of the order to the bottom
of the order.”
Seven of the nine Tantasqua
starters recorded a base hit.
Meanwhile, Shepherd Hill
snapped out of its three-game losing
streak.
“They certainly played us a lot
tougher this time than at their
place,” Enman said in regards to an
11-2 Rams victory on May 2. “We
expected a good contest.
“We needed to get back on track
today and we were fortunate
enough to do that. Molly [Covill]
pitched a good game again like she
typically does. She’s pretty consistent
and competitive.”
Covill surrendered seven hits
and a walk in her seven innings of
work.
And although runs were at a premium
— Tantasqua’s Kingman
allowed four hits and four walks —
Shepherd Hill did just enough to
score just enough.
“We’ve left a lot of people on base
in a lot of our other games. Today
we got some of those people in,”
Enman said.
The Rams’ Samantha Miller finished
2-for-3 and had the only multihit
afternoon for either team.

people who put in extra time,
introduced me to friends,
talked to people about me,
passed signs around,” he
said. “I had a lot of encouragement
and help and support.”
Before the campaign,
through all the years Stevens
operated his business out of
his house so he could take
care of his children and get
them where he needed to be,
he never really had a chance
to notice how much it took to
run the town — never mind
be a part of it, he said.
“It’s been impressive to
think about what makes our
towns go,” he said. “It made
me grateful and proud and
really appreciative of what
was going on when I’ve been
busy with other things.
Maybe now, this is me paying
back for all those years. It
balances.”
TOWN CLERK
Torti, who is currently the
administrative assistant to
the Board of Selectmen, beat
Pamela Woodbury, who is
director of the Senior Center
and wife of Selectman Gary
Woodbury, 554-331.
As election night wound
down, and all the voters were
tallied, Torti said that as
pleased as she is to have won,
what matters to her even
more is that so many wonderful
people joined together
and made it happen for her.
“It was absolutely because
of how much support I had,”
she said. “Honestly, I owe
everything to them for helping
me. I’m touched.”
She added that despite the
years of working for the
Board of Selectmen and
other Town Hall offices, she
didn’t know a lot about campaigning.
“I had really good advice
from people with a lot of
experience, and I had a lot of
guidance and mentoring,”
she said. “It would have
never have happened without
them.”
Torti said the best way she
knows to pay back all the
people who helped her is to
serve them well as town
clerk.
“I really feel that I can’t let
these people down,” she said.
“I’m obligated to do the best I
can.”

was the “Exploring Creativity with

Tenants Assistance Program of
MassHousing and held at MHPI-owned

Instructor Linda Novick taught jewelry
making using a variety of colorful beads,
shells and artifacts. There were some
groans when tiny beads slipped, some
sought after advice or approval, and lots of
laughs and busy fingers as tenants made
necklaces, bracelets and earrings for
themselves or others. The creations were
awesome, and everyone enjoyed a productive

REFERENDUM QUERIES
Both referendum questions
posed to voters at the
May 8 Town Election were
passed.
The first question, asking
to change the position of old
cemetery commissioner
from elected to appointed,
was approved 517-263.
Because the cemetery is full
and the job is less involved,
and because there are rarely
candidates for the position,
officials have asked to have it
be appointed.
The second question, asking
residents whether to
approve a debt exclusion for
an addition and renovation
at Bay Path Regional
Vocational Technical High
School in Charlton passed
409-392. However, not all of
the other member towns
approved the exclusion.

ALUMNI
continued from page 1
colonel, and Cole, an emergency
physician in the Tidewater region
of Virginia, used the word “honored”
when describing how they
felt about their recognition.
Cole got his bachelor’s degree in
biology from Washington and Lee
University in Lexington, Va., in
1985 and his doctor of medicine
degree five years later.
Cole has served on the Ethics,
Credentials and Medical Executive
Committees of his hospital,
Sentara Careplex Hospital. He was
the president of his medical practice,
Peninsula Emergency
Physicians, Inc., from 2002-08. He
now serves on the Board of
Directors and the finance committee
of his company.
Cole was elected as a board member
of his state’s medical specialty
organization, the Virginia College
of Emergency Physicians, from
1996-2002. He was president in 2000
and 2001. He advocated on behalf of
the more than 670 practicing emergency
physicians in Virginia and
the patients they serve.
On the national level, Cole was
elected to represent Virginia as a
delegate to the council of the
American College of Emergency
Physicians from 1991-2001, representing
more than 22,000 emergency
physicians nationwide.
Cole’s father, Alton, served as
principal of David Prouty High
School from 1972-90. It was his
father’s job that brought the Cole
family to Spencer in 1972.
“This is home for me,” Cole said.
“Spencer will always be my home,
and this will always be my school.”
While at Prouty, Cole determined
he wanted to study medicine. In college,
he decided he wanted to
become an emergency doctor.
Cole said he has had a “wonderful
career, and a lot of work to get
there, but I enjoyed every minute of
it.”
A married father of two teenage
girls (16 and 17), Cole urged the
underclassmen in the audience to
take advantage of what Prouty
offers. To the seniors, he said college
is a “lot of fun,” but it also
teaches students skills such as
managing their time they’ll use for
the rest of their lives. He said it is
important to learn those skills as
quickly as possible in college.
According to Cole, it is not just
careers that define people, but also
the groups and organizations they
join. Sometimes they can take people
out of their comfort zones, he
said, but they create “other avenues
to feel challenged” and make a difference.
“Those are the ones that I would
really encourage you to embrace,”
Cole said.
IN THE MILITARY
Arnold retired from the Air Force
in August after 30 years of service.
He now works in the Department of
Commerce as the associate undersecretary
for management in the
Office of the Undersecretary for
Economic Affairs. Since January,
he’s also performed the duties of
the deputy undersecretary.
Right before he retired, Arnold
served as the chief of the Air Force
General Litigation division, which
represents the Air Force and its
personnel in federal civil litigation
and administrative proceedings
across the globe. Arnold’s career
included stints as a prosecutor,
defense counsel, associate deputy
general counsel for the Department
of Defense (responsible for legal
issues involving homeland security
and other matters) and legislative
fellow on the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
Arnold served as the focal point
for the U.S. Supreme Court review
of Goldsmith v. Clinton, a case
involving the authority of the president
to remove a commissioned
officer.
In 2004, he traveled throughout
the combat zone in Iraq and Kuwait
as part of an eight-person investigative
task force appointed by the
secretary of defense. He has coauthored
a couple of books on military
criminal justice.
Arnold said his father died when
he was 15 years old, and his mother
left high school to raise him and his
six siblings. She later went back to
get her GED and college degree, he
said.
Cole was the salutatorian of the
Class of 1981 and voted most likely
to succeed, Arnold noted. Just
above him was Lucille Berthiaume,
the class valedictorian who would
later marry Arnold.
The Arnolds live in Maryland
and have 13 kids, including children
from Ethiopia who lost their
parents to AIDS. In a way, adopting
the Ethiopian children fulfilled
Lucille’s wish to work on the AIDS
crisis in Africa.
For his part, Arnold said he got
good grades while at Prouty, lettered
in a couple of sports and was
on the National Honor Society. He
admitted that on Graduation Day
he “wanted to escape ... wanted to
be a big man.”
Arnold enlisted in the U.S. Air
Force in 1981 and received an
appointment to the Air Force
Academy in 1982. He was commissioned
as a second lieutenant in
1986. Three years later, he was
picked to go to law school under the
Excess Leave and Funded Legal
Education Programs.
Arnold told the students, Prouty
staff members and family in the
audience he was working in the
Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, when an
airplane plowed into one of the
sides of the building.
“I escaped there unscathed,” he
said after his presentation. “That
wasn’t true for a lot of people.”
One person he worked with at the
Pentagon, whose office was around
the corner from his, was in the
impact zone and died. Two days earlier,
they had set up games at a
church fundraiser.
“Life’s short, and you never
know,” he said.
For Arnold, that event would
shape his life and his career. He was
involved with the changing structure
of national security after Sept.
11.
Arnold credited the Air Force
with opening doors for him and
teaching him things such as treating
other people with respect and
setting goals. He said failing to
achieve a goal in life is “not failure
if you learn something from it.
Look forward, not backwards.
There are always doors to open.”
Arnold also told them that they,
not society, would “define your success”
and to do their best at whatever
they face in life.
“Serve others,” he added. “It will
lead to success, I promise you.”

Kustigian said May 8 “we start tomorrow”

The debt exclusion will add $9.48 to the fiscal
2013 property tax bill and $22.08 in fiscal
2014 for what the superintendent last month
called the “average” Warren taxpayer. The
amount would go down over time.
WRIGHT MILL REZONING
Most of the 180 people who gathered in the
Quaboag High School auditorium for last
week’s Town Meeting also approved a zoning
change for the former Wright Mill in West
Warren — but not without some of them
expressing concerns about the plans for the
building. The amendment was approved 93-
28.
According to Planning Board Chairman H.
William Ramsey, building owner MDP
Development, LLC of Hudson, N.H., wants to
turn it into a multi-use facility with both residential
and commercial uses.
Town Planner William Scanlan said the
Planning Board would have to approve a special
permit for anything at the former mill.
No more than 50 percent of the floor area of
the project could be residential, with up to
190 residential units allowed. Once the 190
units are finished, he said, the rest of the
land area could not be developed.
“We feel it is an appropriate place to
encourage development,” Scanlan said.
Residents said they felt the proposed use
for the Wright Mill could be detrimental to
the town, in part because of the number of
possible children who would be living in the
building and attending Warren schools balanced
against the tax revenue the town would
receive. One voter said the town did not need
any more low-income housing.
Scanlan said the bylaw would limit the
number of children because up to 20 percent
of the total number of units could have three
bedrooms. He said research he did shows
these types of projects have one child for
every four units.
CITIZENS UNITED
Voters also approved, with about half a
dozen people dissenting, a resolution asking
Congress to send to the states a
Constitutional amendment reversing the
United States Supreme Court’s decision in
Citizens United v. Federal Election
Commission. The 2010 ruling overturned federal
rules restricting spending by corporations
and labor unions before an election.
It was the first time a Town Meeting in this
area has voted on a proposal, according to
supporters, approved by more than two dozen
communities in Massachusetts. A bill filed
last year in the state Legislature to overturn
Citizens United contains pretty much the
same language as the petition presented by
Bridge Street resident Philip Milgrim.
The petition alleged that for the last 30
years “a divided Supreme Court has erroneously
transformed the First Amendment
into a powerful tool for corporations seeking
to evade and invalidate the people’s laws.” It
claimed the decision “overturned longstanding
precedent,” “unleashes a torrent of corporate
money in our political process
unmatched by any campaign expenditure
totals in United States history,” “purports to
invalidate” state laws keeping corporate
money out of elections and “presents a serious
and direct threat to our republican
democracy.”
The amendment, the petition stated, would
“restore Constitutional rights and fair elections
to the people.”

FROM THE BLOTTER
Police investigating
shots fired in Leicester
LEICESTER — The Leicester
Police Department is investigating
an incident that occurred Friday,
May 10, where multiple shots were
fired in the parking lot of an empty
warehouse.
According to Police Chief James
Hurley, the incident occurred at
about 1 a.m. in a parking lot off
Clark Street in Leicester. The
Leicester Police Department’s
Dispatch Center received a call
from a neighbor in the area who
reported hearing multiple gunshots
near their home. A Leicester
police officer who was is in the area
at another call also heard the multiple
gunshots.
Officers responding to the call
checked the Wasilla Drive area and
a nearby warehouse parking lot. In
the warehouse parking lot, an officer
located four .40-caliber bullet
casings on the pavement. An additional
search of the area resulted in
one projectile (bullet) being located
in an embankment next to the
warehouse parking lot.
Officers also located damage to a
small tree at the top of the banking,
which was believed to have been
caused by bullet striking the tree as
it went by.
Hurley stated that crime scene
markers identify the location of the
shell casings located by Leicester
police investigators. Officers spent
the several hours Friday morning
canvassing the Wasilla Drive neighborhood,
which is located directly
behind the area where the shots
were fired. Officers checked homes
in the area for any signs that they
had been struck by gunshots.
Hurley said investigators used a
metal detector in the area around
the scene hoping to recover the
three missing projectiles.
Hurley stated the department is
“very concerned” about this incident,
as the evidence officers located
indicates one or more of the
shots that were fired appear to have
gone over the embankment directly
toward Wasilla Drive, which is a
residential neighborhood.
Police were seeking to identify a
small white motor vehicle that was
seen by several people acting suspiciously
in the Wasilla Drive area
immediately after the incident.
Leicester police investigators collected
the physical evidence they
located at the scene and are preparing
that evidence for submission to
the state crime lab for forensic
examination.
Hurley is asking anyone with
information pertaining to this incident
to contact Detective Timothy
Fontaine at fontainet@leicesterpd.org
or (508) 892-7010, ext. 2016.
Information can also be left on the
Leicester Police Crime Tip Hotline
at (508) 892-7010, ext. 7.
Police get numerous
bear sighting reports
The Leicester Police Department
has received several calls reporting
bears in close proximity to local
homes.
These reports included one that
came in on Saturday morning, May
11, reporting a bear that appeared
to be aggressive on Bond Street.
“Bear sightings in Leicester are
fairly common during the spring
and fall seasons, explained Police
Chief James Hurley. “This year is
will likely be no different so based
on the high likelihood that bear
sightings will continue now that
the warm weather has appeared,
the LPD thought it would be a good
idea to put out a few tips on what
residents can do around their
homes to deter encounters with
bears.”
Those tips include:
1. Do not feed bears — Keep the
“wild” in “wildlife.” Bears which
become accustomed to humans and
dependent on human-associated
foods are likely to cause property
damage and become a nuisance.
Sometimes it places the bear in
jeopardy of being destroyed
because it is no longer afraid of
people.
2. Take down birdfeeders before
April 1 and put them back up in late
November or early December. In
mild winters, some bears may be
active year-round. Do not leave pet
food outside at any time of year.
3. Secure trash in closed containers
in a garage or other outbuilding
— Put trash barrels out the morning
of trash pick-up, not the previous
evening. Businesses and campgrounds
in bear country should
consider using bear-proof dumpsters.
4. Beekeepers — Use temporary
or permanent electric fences to
safeguard hives. Electric fences are
most effective when put up before
the first damage occurs.
5. Protect orchards and crops —
Temporary electric fencing may be
used to protect corn and other
crops. Seven-strand slanted nonelectric
fences have been used to
keep bears out of orchards. Contact
local bear hunters for the early
September bear season to hunt the
fields.
6. Protect livestock — Whenever
possible, pen livestock in or near
the barn at night, especially pregnant
females and those with small
young.
The preceding information was
taken from the following website:
www.mass.gov/dfwele/dfw/wildlif
e/living/pdf/living_with_bears.pdf
.
If you see a bear and have any
concerns, please contact the
Leicester Police Department immediately.
Motorcycle and vehicle
collide in Cherry Valley
LEICESTER — A two-vehicle
crash Saturday, May 11 sent the
operator of a motorcycle to the hospital
with non-life threatening
injuries.
Leicester Police Chief James
Hurley said the incident began at
about 5:45 p.m. when the Leicester
Police Department’s Dispatch
Center received multiple calls
reporting a collision between a car
and motorcycle at the intersection
of Route 9 and McCarthy Avenue in
Cherry Valley. Officers arriving at
the scene found a man down in the
roadway a short distance from his
motorcycle.
A preliminary investigation by
Leicester police at the scene indicates
that the crash occurred when
the operator of a minivan was
attempting to pull out of McCarthy
Avenue onto Route 9. The van operator
observed the westbound traffic
on Route 9 stop to let him out. As he
pulled out, he did not see the motorcycle
that was traveling east on
Route 9. The motorcycle collided
with the van as the van was pulling
out onto Route 9.
Police identified the operator of
the motorcycle as Gordon W. Grant,
56, of Henshaw Street in Worcester.
He was transported by the Town of
Leicester ambulance to St.
Vincent’s Hospital in Worcester
with non-life threatening injuries.
The operator of the van has been
identified as Joshua D. Senior, 37, of
McCarthy Avenue in Leicester.
Senior declined medical treatment.
Route 9 was closed for a short
period of time while Grant was
being treated at the scene and taken
to an awaiting ambulance.
Hurley said the accident is being
investigated by Leicester Police
Officer Alexander Samia.
Minor injuries reported
as bus and car collide
LEICESTER — Two people suffered
minor injuries after a motor
vehicle and a Worcester Regional
Transit Authority bus collided on
Route 9 in Leicester Monday, May
14.
Leicester Police Chief James
Hurley stated the accident occurred
at about 10:25 a.m. on Route 9, just
west of Leicester Center.
Hurley said the motor vehicle
and the WRTA bus were both headed
west on Route 9. The vehicles
were traveling along Route 9, with
the car in the outside lane and the
WRTA bus on the inside lane. At
some point the operator of the car
attempted to move into the right
lane or make a right turn and
struck the bus. The bus and the car
both came to rest partially on the
sidewalk that runs along Route 9.
There were eight passengers on
the WRTA bus, in addition to the
driver of the bus. Two of the passengers
were transported to UMass
Memorial Hospital in Worcester by
the Town of Leicester Ambulance
with minor injuries.
The operator of the bus was identified
as Willie J. Everett, 69, of
Lorion Street in Worcester. The
operator of the motor vehicle was
identified as Paul E. Anderson, 71,
of Edward Street in Leicester.
Anderson was cited by Leicester
police for an unsafe lane change.
The accident is being investigated
by Officers Steven Zecco and
John Caforio.

look like in the future and how the school can
be designed to accommodate that.
Next week’s workshops are designed to
“gather and understand the issues that are
important to residents, analyze them and
make appropriate considerations as the project
advances,” states a newsletter published
by the Spencer-East Brookfield Regional
School District earlier this year. “We will continue
to look to the community for ideas on
how to make David Prouty High School a
place where students will thrive. It’s not

In Loving Remembrance
7th Anniversary
Kaitlyn L. Langlois
3/25/89 – 5/21/05
We thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
and days before that too.
We think of you in silence,
we often speak your name.
All we have are memories,
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
with which we will never part.
Thinking of You with Love
God has you in His keeping,
we have you in our hearts.
A million times we`ve wanted you.
A million times we cried.
If love could only have saved you,
you never would have died.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn`t go alone.
For a part of us went with you...
the day God called you Home.
Love, Mom, Dad, Mike & Amanda,
Gramma and Grampa,
Auntie Lisa, Uncle Roland & Roland

BROOKFIELD —
Rehabilitative
Resources, Inc. (RRI)
held a volunteer day
on April 28 at
Brookfield’s historic
Elm Hill Center, for
which RRI took over
operations in 2009.
More than two dozen
representatives from
RRI, Southbridge Two volunteers continuing sprucing up the soon-to-be refurbished tennis court at Elm Hill Center, getting
it ready for an outdoor season of fun activity, during RRI’s volunteer day on April 28.
Savings Bank, the Hope
House and others in the
community volunteered their time to take part in spring cleaning at the property. Thanks to hundreds of volunteers
donating more than 8,000 volunteer hours in the last three years, RRI has made great strides in bringing Elm Hill back
to its former splendor, when it was one of the largest working farms in the region, and home of Elsie the Cow, the
iconic symbol of the Borden Company. RRI’s aim for Elm Hill Center is to provide inclusive programs for all people,
including those with special needs. This is done through hands-on activities, including horticulture, horsemanship
and animals, which have proven to be highly effective in helping with the treatment for people living with developmental
disabilities, particularly the stimulus that occurs when petting animals.

RRI announces ‘Summer
Enrichment’ program
BROOKFIELD — Rehabilitative
Resources, Inc., (RRI) one of Central
Massachusetts’ leading providers of services
and supports for people living with development
disabilities, will host its “Summer
Enrichment” activity program for children
between the ages of six and 14. The program
will be held at Brookfield’s historic Elm Hill
Center, for which Rehabilitative Resources,
Inc. took over operations in 2009.
During “Summer Enrichment’s,” five
weekly sessions, held throughout July and
August, children will engage in activities,
including horsemanship, nature walks,
sports, horticulture and swimming. Each
session runs Monday through Friday, beginning
at 9 a.m. and ending at 4 p.m. The first
session will begin on July 16. All activities
will take place outdoors at the Elm Hill
Center, located at 26 East Main Street in
Brookfield. Two of the weeks – beginning on
July 23 and August 6 – are focused heavily
on horseback riding.
RRI has priced the program to be affordable
for everyone. The cost is $225 per weekly
session. Extended mornings and afternoons
are offered for an additional fee if the

parent/guardian is unable to drop off/pickup
their child at the designated time.
Interested parties may register their child
in person, online at www.rehabresourcesinc.org
or by mail beginning
February 1, 2012. Cash, check, Visa,
MasterCard and American Express are
excepted forms of payment. Two nonrefundable
deposits of $75 each are due –
one at the time of registration and one on or
before June 1, 2012.
“Fun and interactive events for children
of all abilities are among the most rewarding
things we do at Elm Hill,” said Bonnie
Keefe-Layden, the Chief Executive Officer of
RRI. “We’re excited to open up this beautiful
property for the enjoyment of the public
again this year.”
The Elm Hill Center was built in the 1700s,
and at its peak was one of the largest working
farms in the region. One of its cows was
“Elsie the Cow,” the face of the Borden
Company and one of the most recognizable
product symbols in America in the mid-20th
century. Elm Hill Center is now owned and
operated by RRI.
For more information on the Summer
Enrichment program, please contact Julie
Carita, RRI’s Director of Day and
Employment Supports, at 508-347-8181, x-107,
or email her at jcarita@rehabresourcesinc.org.

2013 Ford Flex Offers Great Improvements
for Already Good Crossover
BY KEITH GRIFFIN
As I write this I am sitting in Las
Vegas on a media program for the
Scion FR-S. The reason I mention that
is I was brought from the airport with
another journalist in a Lincoln Town
Car. I bring this this because I asked
the driver, “What are you going to do
when the Lincoln Town Car goes
away?” (It has ceased production.)
He didn’t have an answer but I think
I do: the 2013 Ford Flex. I’m sure that’s
going to make the proud designers of
the Flex shudder. After all, they don’t
build cars for people to be driven in;
they build cars to be driven.
But I consider it a high compliment.
The 2013 Ford Flex is a near-perfect
family vehicle that could also double as
an executive car or a small airport
shuttle. (Hmm, maybe if this journalism
thing doesn’t work out I could open
an airport shuttle.)
The seven-passenger, three-row
crossover – which debuted last fall at
the Los Angeles Auto Show – comes
equipped with the new generation of
MyFord Touch, industry-exclusive
rear inflatable belts, collision-avoidance
technologies, rain-sensing
wipers, keyless entry, first-row heated
and cooled seats, power-fold mirrors
and an optional new Appearance
Package. Plus, the base 3.5-liter engine
has improved fuel economy of 1 mpg
better on the highway and in the city,
with 25 more horsepower.
What continues to impress me about
Ford’s interior designs is how elegant
yet simple they are to use. Controls are
intuitive. I still haven’t quite conquered
My Ford Touch yet but the rest
of everything else that runs the Flex’s
important features are easy to grasp.
One aspect of the Flex that intrigues
me is the new Torque Vectoring
Control and Curve Control technology.
The Torque Vectoring Control system
uses the car’s brakes to imitate the
effect of a limited-slip differential, constantly
balancing the distribution of
engine torque between the front wheels
during cornering, resulting in
improved grip and steering and a
reduced chance of understeer.
Basically, you’re not going to hit a
curve too fast and spin sideways
through it.
The system operates using the car’s
stability control module and monitors
the vehicle 100 times per second. As the
car accelerates through a corner, the
system detects when the front inside
wheel is starting to slip and applies
braking to the wheel. This prevents
The 2013 Ford Flex gets a new front end and other styling updates but where it really continues to hit a home run is in its interior that is stylish, comfortable and
packed with technology.
wheel spin and transfers engine torque
to the outside wheel, which has more
grip, to maintain traction and steering
control.
Unlike a traction control system that
reduces engine power, the intervention
from Torque Vectoring Control is
extremely subtle and may not even be
noticed by the driver. In other words,
the Flex continues to run normally. My
driving partner inadvertently tried it
on a snowy curve and the system did
its job with help from Curve Control.
As Ford explains it, Curve Control
senses when a vehicle is entering a
curve too quickly, and can apply fourwheel
smart braking to reduce vehicle
speed by up to 10 mph in approximately
one second and help drivers follow
their intended path. Curve Control is
effective on dry or wet pavement, and is
expected to be particularly useful when
drivers are entering or exiting freeway
on- or off-ramps with too much speed.
When a vehicle enters a curve too fast,
the system responds to the driver’s
steering input by rapidly reducing
torque and increasing brake pressure
to help keep the vehicle under control.
Another safety feature I am a big fan
of as a parent (and limo companies
should agree) is the automotive world’s
first production rear inflatable belts to
offer improved comfort and protection
for rear seat passengers. The optional
advanced restraint system (it really
should be standard)[RTF bookmark
start: }_GoBack[RTF bookmark end:
}_GoBack is designed to help reduce
head, neck and chest injuries for rear
seat passengers, often children and
older passengers who can be more vulnerable
to such injuries. They are
designed to deploy over a vehicle occupant’s
torso and shoulder in 40 milliseconds
in the event of a crash.
Here’s some info on the powertrain,
too. Under the hood, Flex’s new base
engine delivers even more efficiency
and performance with the addition of
twin independent variable camshaft
timing (Ti-VCT) to the 3.5-liter V6. The
upgraded 3.5-liter Ti-VCT V6 engine
provides 287 horsepower – an approximate
25 horsepower increase from the
previous engine – and 254 lb.-ft. of
torque. The new Flex will also deliver 1
mpg more fuel economy, with EPA-certified
fuel economy of 18 mpg city and
25 mpg highway.
The popular 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6
remains on the new Flex, bringing the
fuel economy of a V6 engine with allwheel-drive
capability and V8-like performance
of 365 horsepower and 350
lb.-ft. of torque. Stick to the V6 unless
you somehow need all that power and
the desire to burn premium fuel. Plus
it’s only in the top-of-the-line Limited
and Titanium editions. Both engines
are mated to a six-speed SelectShift
Automatic transmission.
I can’t say enough good things about
the 2013 Ford Flex. Pricing starts at
$31,710 for the base model and goes up
to $40,505 for the well-equipped top-ofthe-line
Limited. It comes in frontwheel
drive but all-wheel is an available
option.

Olive leaf extract helps support healthy blood pressure
Drink Water—
To Your Health!
(NAPS)
Are you looking for a simple way
to lead a healthier life? Skip the fad
diets and trendy health fixes and
focus on drinking enough water
every day. Several health organizations
recommend drinking eight 8-
ounce glasses a day to help your
body run more efficiently.
When you consider that your
blood is 92 percent water and your
brain and muscles are 75 percent
water, it only makes sense that you
need to stay hydrated. Here are
some reasons why drinking water
will have you feeling and looking
better, while also making you
healthier.
• Nature’s energy drink. It’s easy
to down an energy drink or pop
some vitamins when you’re feeling
sluggish. However, water balances
your electrolytes, controls your
blood pressure, cleans the toxins
from your kidneys and gives you
more energy by helping your blood
maintain a healthy volume. Proper hydration
also regulates your body temperature
and can help prevent heat stroke or
hypothermia.
• Improve your moves with water. If you
ache more than usual after a workout, you
may need to up your water intake. Water
acts as a natural shock absorber for your
organs and helps lubricate your joints.
Proper hydration also improves concentration
and reaction time and helps you
burn more calories during a workout.
• Natural boost for dieters. It’s common
to mistake thirst for hunger pangs and to
combat thirst with food instead of water.
Before grabbing a snack or an extra helping,
try drinking water between meals or a
half hour before meals. An extra glass of
water will keep your cravings in check
while also helping to reduce fat deposits in
your body.
• Beauty is more than skin deep. If your
skin is feeling dry and moisturizers aren’t
doing the trick, consider drinking more
water. Water filters through your other
organs first, reaching the skin last. So if
your other organs aren’t hydrated enough,
your skin will pay the price. Your skin
(NAPS)
For an herb that’s so pretty and so
deliciously aromatic, lavender has
some surprisingly practical uses.
According to folk wisdom, the
flowering herb can repel insects,
improve circulation and help induce
relaxation and restful sleep.
While the herb is a popular aromatherapy
aide for dealing with
(NAPS)
Good news for the aging baby
boomer population and others: Blood
pressure control is rated one of the
most important health concerns and
research shows that the bioactive compound
oleuropein found in olive leaf
extract helps support blood pressure.
That’s important, considering high
blood pressure is one of the most accurate
predictors of cardiovascular disease,
the No. 1 killer of Americans.
Many of the validated benefits of
the Mediterranean diet derive from
heart-healthy compounds contained in
the olive fruit, including the polyphenols
tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol. When
it comes to olive’s power to support
blood pressure already within a
healthy range, research shows that the
bioactive compound oleuropein is primarily
responsible.
THE BENEFITS
Supplementing your diet with an extract of
olive leaves may help you keep your blood
pressure at healthy levels.
Every cell in your body is mostly comprised of water. That’s one
reason it’s so important to drink plenty of it.
repays hydration by being smoother, softer,
more supple and healthier.
• Improving water in your home. If you
skip drinking water at home because you
dislike the taste, try a water filter for highquality
drinking water. When looking for
filtration products such as water softeners,
water filtration systems and water
purification systems, you may want to consult
water treatment experts such as
Culligan, a company that has a long history
of providing whole-house water treatment
and softener solutions for the home.
Culligan has dealerships nationwide, and
each dealer is a local expert in his or her
area because water varies across cities
and regions.
Though water quality varies across the
nation, expert opinions do not. Several
health organizations—the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, the
American Cancer Society, the Academy of
Nutrition and Dietetics, the American
Heart Association and the Water Quality
Association—have all agreed for many
years that eight 8-ounce glasses a day are
optimal for your health.
For more information, visit www.culligan.com.
Oleuropein has been subjected to
extensive research and found to have:
• A positive influence on LDL cholesterol
• A good influence on blood sugar levels
already within normal range
• An ability to provide optimal support
for cardiovascular health
• Powerful antioxidant properties to protect
blood vessels against cellular damage
caused by free radicals.
The Research
As published in the scientific journal
Phytomedicine in February 2011,
researchers using 1,000 mg per day of this
formulation in a double-blind, randomized,
parallel and active-controlled clinical
trial documented an average 11.5 p
mmHg (millimeters of mercury) decline
in systolic readings. Systolic blood pressure
is the maximum arterial pressure
during the contraction of the left ventricle
of the heart. In a blood pressure reading,
the systolic pressure is typically the first
number recorded. For example, with a
blood pressure of 120 over 80, the systolic
pressure is 120.
WHERE TO FIND IT
Oleuropein is naturally found in olive
leaves and also in a branded ingredient
called Benolea from Frutarom, standardized
to 16 percent oleuropein.
Standardization is a process that manufacturers
use to ensure consistency. In
some cases, standardization involves identifying
specific chemicals (known as
markers). The process can also provide a
measure of quality control.

Self-Injectable Treatment Option
Available For Moderate To
Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis
(NAPS)
Orencia® (abatacept) is the
first and only biologic for the
treatment of adults with moderate
to severe rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) available in
both self-injectable (under the
skin) and intravenous (IV)
infusion (through a vein in
the arm) formulations. Since
the majority of RA patients
initiating therapy with a biologic
receive their treatment
by self-injection, the availability
of the self-injectable formulation
of Orencia offers
physicians a choice for more
of their patients.
Orencia® (abatacept) is a
prescription medicine that
reduces signs and symptoms
in adults with moderate to
severe rheumatoid arthritis
(RA), including those who
have not been helped enough
by other medicines for RA.
Orencia may prevent further
damage to your bones and
joints and may help your ability
to perform daily activities.
In adults, Orencia may be
used alone or with other RA
treatments other than tumor
necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists.
Orencia can also make your
immune system less able to
fight infections, so you may
be more likely to get infections
or any infection you
have may get worse. It is
important to tell your healthcare
provider if you think
you have any infections.
Important Safety
Information: Serious
Infections
Orencia can make you
more likely to get infections
or make the infection that you
have get worse. Some patients
have died from these infections.
Call your healthcare
provider immediately if you
feel sick or get any of the following
signs of infection:
Soothing Your Skin

help promote healthy, beautiful skin.
The herb’s antiseptic, antifungal and
anti-inflammatory properties are
used to soothe acne, psoriasis,
eczema and other skin inflammations.
Because it’s a logical addition to
skin care products, Canus Goat’s
Milk Skin Care recently created a
new line of lavender products that
include a soap bar, lotion and body
wash.
As with all Canus products, the
new line is made with all-natural
fresh goat’s milk, is gluten and phosphate
free and has never been tested
on animals.
Rich in protein, vitamins and minerals,
fresh goat’s milk is uniquely
hydrating and gentle on the skin.
Treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis may help
patients do the things they need
fever, feel very tired, cough,
feel flu-like, or warm, red or
painful skin.
“I talked with my doctor
about the self-injectable formulation
of Orencia and we
discussed that weekly
Orencia self-injection might
be a good choice for me,” said
Ray, a patient treated with
Orencia IV. Patients should
consult with their physician
to see which treatment option
is right for them.
Patients with RA can find
that everyday tasks are much
more difficult. Tasks like
opening a car door, turning
the handle on a faucet, buttoning
a shirt or climbing
stairs can become challenging.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a
chronic, autoimmune disease
characterized by inflammation
in the lining of joints,
causing joint damage with
chronic pain, stiffness and
swelling. RA causes limited

HEALTH
Understanding Atrial Fibrillation And Stroke Risk
BY N. A. MARK ESTES, III, M.D.
(NAPS)
There’s an alarming gap in
knowledge about a common
heart condition called atrial
fibrillation, or AFib. By closing
the gap and arming people
with what they need to
know, we could prevent disabling—and
even deadly—
strokes; perhaps thousands of
strokes each year.
Work recently done at the
American
Heart
Association/American
Stroke Association to identify
gaps in AFib knowledge and
treatment suggests that about
half of the estimated 2.7 million
Americans who have
AFib have not been properly
educated about their stroke
risk.
The gap? We know that people
who have AFib are at
higher risk of stroke than
people who do not have the
condition, yet this information
(and resulting proven
prevention) isn’t trickling to
the people who need it most.
WHAT AFIB IS
AFib is an irregular heart
rhythm that occurs when the
heart’s two upper chambers
beat erratically, causing the
chambers to pump blood rapidly,
unevenly and inefficiently.
Blood can pool and clot in
the chambers, increasing the
risk of stroke. It’s associated
with a fivefold increased risk
of stroke and a greater likelihood
that the stroke will lead
to significant disability—
even death.
IDENTIFYING
CHALLENGES
A survey by Synovate, Inc.
for the American Heart
Association found that 90 percent
of patients get AFib
information from their doctors.
Of the AFib patients surveyed,
half thought they were
at risk for stroke; 25 percent
claimed they were not at risk;
and the rest didn’t know. The
survey also found only twothirds
of patients re?called
that their health care
provider talked with them
about their elevated stroke
risk. Among those who talked
with their doctors, 21 percent
said they were told they have
no stroke risk.
CONNECTING PEOPLE
AND INFORMATION
There are several proven
ways to reduce the AFib-associated
stroke risk. A healthy
lifestyle and maintaining an
ideal body weight through
exercise and diet can prevent
high blood pressure and diabetes
that predispose an individual
to AFib. For individuals
who already have AFib,
new and effective medications
can thin the blood to
prevent the clotting associated
with stroke.
Despite the substantial benefits
that come from taking
these medications, many people
don’t receive or don’t take
them. One of the hurdles
could be that blood thinners
have an undeserved reputation
as problematic. It’s true
that one popular blood thinner,
called warfarin, requires
monitoring to adjust the dosing;
newer medications, however,
don’t. In addition, some
physicians and patients tend
to overestimate the risk of
bleeding complications from
these medications.
YOUR LIFESAVING
ASSIGNMENT
If you have AFib, make an
appointment with your doctor’s
office. With today’s
health care system, you might
have the bulk of your AFib
conversation with your doctor’s
nurse practitioner or
physician assistant. These
people are often charged with
taking more time with
patients to answer questions
and educate.
Learn all you can about the
condition. You’ll find credible
and extensive AFib information
from the American Heart
Association/American
Stroke Association at
www.heart.org/afib.
Cycling For Health And Fitness
Cycling is a great way to get fit and stay active.
(NAPS)
In nearly half of developed
countries, 50 percent of people
are obese or overweight.
With obesity, diabetes and
heart disease on the rise,
now is the time to take control
of your health, fitness
and well-being.
Cycling can be fun, low
impact, inexpensive and
helps improve health while
controlling weight. It burns
around 600 calories an
hour—and lowers the risk of
heart disease and stroke. In
addition, cycling promotes
psychological well-being.
Several studies suggest that
cycling leads to reduced
stress, improved mental abilities
and a more positive attitude.
To help you get into
cycling, members from one
of the United States’ premier
professional cycling teams,
Optum Pro Cycling presented

Strategies, provide these fitness
and nutrition tips:
• Make sure your bike
fits: “Finding the right bike
fit is important for a comfortable
ride,” explains
Rachel Heal, Women’s
Performance Director and a
former Olympian. An expert
can help you find a bike that
suits your body and riding
style.
• Ride at your own
pace: Know your limits. If
you can’t keep a smooth
pedal stroke or you aren’t
able to talk or take a full
breath, slow down.
• Cross-train for
strength: Men’s Performance
Manager and three-time
Olympic athlete Eric
Wohlberg suggests adding
lower body exercises such as
single leg squats, lunges,
jumping rope and running to
build strength and power for
cycling.
• Eat for optimal energy:
Professional cyclist Jade
Wilcoxson knows firsthand
the health benefits of
cycling. Just five years ago,
she was diagnosed as prediabetic.
Jade took up cycling
and quickly learned she had
a talent for racing. She
recently signed with Optum
Pro Cycling’s newly formed
professional women’s team.
To feel her best, Jade recommends
a diet high in protein,
fruits and vegetables. She
also recommends staying
away from processed foods,
using the rule of “seven
ingredients or fewer.”
• Prepare nutritionally
for a long ride: On long,
rigorous rides lasting more
than two hours, your body
will need about 250 to 300
calories every 45 minutes to
an hour. Sports gels or small
snacks that incorporate lean
protein and carbohydrates
can be smart choices.
• Recover effectively
after a ride: Take in some
calories immediately after a
long ride to help your body
recover. Wohlberg recommends
chocolate milk to
incorporate calories, sugar
and protein quickly. After
cooling down, eat a good
meal of lean protein and carbohydrates
and plenty of
water to rehydrate.
• Enjoy it: The best
thing about cycling is that
just about anyone can do it,
at any level, and still have
fun. “You control how hard
or easy your workout is,”
said Wilcoxson.

“You could live a normal
life.” Those were the words
that 15-year-old Steve
Edelman kept hearing from
the nurses when he was hospitalized
following his type 1
diabetes diagnosis in 1970. He
wondered why they kept
repeating this to him.
“I started to get worried,”
recalls Dr. Edelman, an
endocrinologist and clinical
professor of medicine at the
University of California San
Diego School of Medicine.
“But it soon became clear that
I’d have to learn to control my
diabetes if I wanted to live a
healthy, full life.”
As a patient and a physician
who treats people with
diabetes, Dr. Edelman understands
the challenges faced by
the nearly 26 million
Americans with the disease.
He founded Taking Control of
Your Diabetes (TCOYD), a
nonprofit organization that
holds conferences featuring
programs and resources to
help educate and empower
people with diabetes.
Dr. Edelman notes that it is
especially important for
patients to overcome the fear
factor. “Some of the biggest
barriers I’ve observed that
prevent people from controlling
their diabetes are emotional
ones,” says Dr.
Edelman. Fear, misconceptions
and depression can be
powerful derailers of proper
care. While people are afraid
of complications, many also
fear what they’ll find when
they really examine their diabetes.
Dr. Edelman says that
it’s not uncommon for people
to equate blood sugar levels
with their own self-worth.
These attitudes can sometimes
lead patients to “forget”
to get their lab tests or to
bring their log books or
meters to their doctor for
When tracking blood glucose levels, it can help to recognize patterns.
review.
Dr. Edelman also emphasizes
that regular blood glucose
testing is a critical part
of good diabetes management.
Testing provides key
insights that allow patients
and their health care
providers to adjust treatment
as necessary and to see how
food choices, activity and
many other factors affect
blood sugar levels throughout
the day.
When treating highs and
lows, it’s important to be
proactive in looking for root
causes in order to take steps
to prevent them in the future.
“Otherwise, if people just
treat them in the moment and
move on, they can get on a
roller coaster of reacting to
patterns of highs and lows
over and over again without
even realizing they may be
connected,” he says.
Fortunately, advances in
blood glucose monitoring
technology are making this
easier. The OneTouch
VerioIQ Meter with
PatternAlert Technology is
the first meter to find patterns
of high and low blood
sugar and provide alerts right
on the screen. With every test,
the meter compares the current
result with previous
results and alerts the patient
when it finds a pattern. This
enables the patient and their
health care professional to
more easily recognize the
issue and take action to correct
potential problems.
“This is particularly important
for people taking insulin
because they have the greatest
risk of experiencing low
blood sugar which can be
dangerous,” explains Dr.
Edelman. “So identifying and
correcting a developing pattern
of low blood sugars as
early as possible is key.”
Dr. Edelman offers other
suggestions for successful
diabetes management. He
advises patients to talk to
their doctor about diet and
exercise. He also recommends
taking notes between visits
about any concerns patients
may have, and he encourages
talking about other factors,
such as stress, that could
affect blood sugar levels.
“Managing diabetes is a
marathon, not a sprint,” says
Dr. Edelman. “Get educated,
take advantage of the latest
tools, and never give up hope
because it’s never too late to
take control of your diabetes.”

Being active is critical for staying healthy—so it’s a good
thing exercise-related aches and pains, sore muscles, and
foot and leg cramps don’t have to put a damper on the activities
that people love. Thankfully, there are many safe and natural
remedies to keep pain at bay.
Soft-tissue pain often benefits from rest, ice, compression
and elevation. While rest gives your body time to heal, ice is
handy for reducing swelling and dulling pain in sore spots.
Be sure to wrap ice in a towel to prevent skin damage and
aim to ice the injured area for about 20 minutes an hour or as
needed, for one to two days. Gentle compression may help to
keep swelling in check, while elevation can also reduce it.
Injured ligaments and tendons respond well to increased
blood flow, so moving and working with a physical therapist
may help you return to pain-free workouts faster. Applying
gentle heat can improve circulation to make achy muscles
feel better, and a warm shower or massage can soothe sore
muscles. Remember, if you are ever in doubt about your
injury, check with your doctor.
Still competing professionally after 45 years, 70-year-old
NASCAR driver Morgan Shepherd keeps in shape by being
active every day and looking after his health naturally. For
Shepherd, the keys to staying healthy are choosing a fun
activity, eating well and staying hydrated.
“Some people like running but I prefer to get my running
done on roller skates,” says Shepherd. “I get a really good
workout, plus I hydrate with plenty of water, before, during
and after a skate.”
When you need more than rest, ice or heat but don’t like
