ATTORNEY: DEPENDS<br />

ON CIRCUMSTANCES<br />

STAFF WRITER<br />

The towns of Charlton and<br />

<strong>Southbridge</strong> are struggling to<br />

hold their respective fireworks<br />

displays this year with the former<br />

town still deciding where to hold<br />

its production and the latter with<br />

little chance of holding its at all.<br />

No final decision to hold<br />

Charlton’s annual Old Home Day<br />

fireworks show at Buffumville<br />

Lake has been made, after<br />

Dudley-Charlton school officials<br />

last month denied a Charlton Fire<br />

Department request to use the<br />

Heritage and Charlton Middle<br />

schools’ fields for the display.<br />

With Old Home Day scheduled<br />

for Monday, Sept. 1, however, the<br />

Charlton Lions Club and the<br />

Charlton<br />

Firefighters<br />

Association, both of which pay<br />

for the fireworks display, along<br />

with the police and fire departments,<br />

are awaiting a final decision<br />

from the Army Corps Of<br />

Engineers, which operates<br />

Buffumville.<br />

“It all hinges on the approvals<br />

of Buffumville, the Army Corps<br />

Of Engineers,” Charlton Police<br />

Chief James A. Pervier said.<br />

“We’re waiting until that happens.”<br />

Concerns of perchlorate flowing<br />

into public water supplies at<br />

past and proposed sites kicked off<br />

this year’s search for a new site.<br />

Perchlorate is a natural and manmade<br />

contaminate found in fireworks.<br />

CHARLTON — Editing the video recording<br />

of last month’s annual town meeting could<br />

put the town in hot water.<br />

Late last month, Town Administrator Robin<br />

L. Craver ordered the<br />

tape edited. The May<br />

19 town meeting was<br />

videotaped for broadcast<br />

over the town’s<br />

cable access channels,<br />

to be edited. Her decision<br />

was defended as<br />

an attempt to avoid<br />

showing whether voters<br />

were in favor of or<br />

against adopting Robin Craver<br />

Chapter 137 of state<br />

law.<br />

That measure, which voters ultimately<br />

rejected, requires towns to pay the difference<br />

between the military and municipal of<br />

employees while they are called to service a<br />

military mission.<br />

Editing the tape could be illegal, according<br />

to Rebecca Murray, an attorney in State<br />

Secretary William Galvin’s office, depending<br />

on the circumstances. The tape can legally be<br />

edited, she said, if the town cited one of the 17<br />

exemptions detailed in the Public Records<br />

Law.<br />

“They can’t just redact it because they feel<br />

like it,” Murray said during a telephone interview<br />

May 30. “They would need to justify<br />

those redactions.”<br />

The exemptions relate mostly to governmental<br />

matters such as personnel, and litigation.<br />

Exemption B relates to internal government<br />

personnel rules and records, while<br />

Exemption C allows a municipality to withhold<br />

records that contain the medical infor-<br />

LOCAL SELECTMAN BIKES IN REGION<br />

STAFF WRITER<br />

Don’t be fooled by the ocean that divides us from our counterparts<br />

“They’re just like us really,” said Selectman Kathleen<br />

Walker.<br />

Walker and her friend, Betty Poynton, brought that<br />

and other messages back home last month after completing the 2008<br />

Pedal For Peace bike ride through four Middle East Countries. The<br />

ride, organized by Follow The Women, an international organization,<br />

is intended to raise awareness about how the violence between<br />

Israel and Palestine is affecting the lives of women and children.<br />

While much of their two-week ride, in which 400 people from 30<br />

countries participated, was spent pedaling across the countries, they<br />

also spent a lot of time ingratiating themselves to the native people<br />

they met.<br />

Both women, after landing in Beirut, Lebanon April 30, began<br />

their two-week trek Friday May 2, leaving that city for their first destination,<br />

Damascus Syria. As they pedaled into Syria, the women<br />

noticed something they didn’t expect from a country at odds with the<br />

CHARLTON — A section of town’s thirst for<br />

water may not be quenched any time soon.<br />

The Water/Sewer Commission last Monday<br />

approved creating a new list of properties<br />

near North Main Street, whose water is contaminated<br />

and are eligible to receive clean<br />

drinking water once <strong>Southbridge</strong> begins<br />

pumping water up to the area.<br />

That list will need to be approved by<br />

<strong>Southbridge</strong> officials.<br />

With an agreement between the two towns<br />

already signed, Charlton is preparing to solicit<br />

bids for contracts to construct the connection<br />

facility to keep the water flowing, but<br />

Commission Vice Chairman Robert<br />

Lemansky said he was upset with recent news<br />

from the project’s engineer that the facility<br />

would not be finished until February 2009.<br />

“It needs to happen a lot faster than that,”<br />

Lemansky said. “We need to change this<br />

timetable.”<br />

Commission Chairman John Elliot said he<br />

would address the timelines issues with the<br />

engineer.<br />

Under the agreement, Charlton will purchase<br />

water from <strong>Southbridge</strong>, at an unknown<br />

cost. The water will flow up a pipe that follows<br />

Route 169 to Route 20 and to the connection<br />

building. Details about billing, meters and<br />

maintenance are still unknown,<br />

Military pay not a dead issue, yet<br />

STAFF WRITER<br />

CHARLTON — Summer is an ideal<br />

time to visit the library, not only to<br />

check out the latest bestseller, relax<br />

with a good novel or attend a children’s<br />

program, but also to pick up a<br />

pass to a museum or other nearby<br />

attraction.<br />

The library offers passes that entitle<br />

the bearer to free or reduced<br />

TOWN COULD ADOPT POLICY OR BYLAW<br />

CHARLTON — There’s still a<br />

chance town employees serving on<br />

active duty in the military will receive<br />

a booster shot of money.<br />

Selectmen and Charlton Police<br />

Officer Mike McGrath are continuing<br />

to search for ways to address the<br />

financial burdens town workers incur<br />

while deployed on military missions,<br />

after annual town meeting voters, on<br />

May 19, rejected adopting Chapter 137<br />

of the state’s laws.<br />

Under the law, the town, which currently<br />

doesn’t pay its employees called<br />

to active military duty, would have<br />

paid the difference between an<br />

employee’s municipal and military<br />

salaries while serving on a military<br />

mission.<br />

Selectman Chairman Rick<br />

Swensen, in a telephone interview<br />

May 29, suggested the board form a<br />

policy or bylaw providing financial<br />

help its effected employees. Although<br />

he has no specific ideas yet, Swensen<br />

said his ideal policy would examine<br />

each employee on a case-by-case basis<br />

letting the town known the financial<br />

impacts paying each employee would<br />

have.<br />

“I’d like to find a balance between<br />

taking care of our people and serving<br />

the best interests of the town,”<br />

Swensen said. “I think there can be a<br />

balance.”<br />

After leading the charge for the<br />

town to adopt Ch. 137, McGrath said<br />

selectmen shouldn’t drop the issue.<br />

“I’d just like to see them do something,”<br />

he said.<br />

The policy another Massachusetts<br />

community already uses to pay its soldiers<br />

could serve as the model<br />

Charlton officials are striving to<br />

achieve.<br />

Concord selectmen adopted a policy<br />

on Nov. 10, 2003, which was retroactive<br />

back to July 1, 2002, and requires the<br />

town pay difference between the two<br />

salaries, with a few criteria. Each soldier,<br />

during his or her deployment, is<br />

entitled a pay differential of up to<br />

$1,000 per month, if the gross military<br />

monthly pay, excluding “imminent<br />

danger pay,” is less than they would<br />

have received for their town work.<br />

The benefit ends after 12 months of<br />

active duty service, and municipal<br />

overtime pay and uniform<br />

allowances, are not factored into town<br />

pay differential. School employees are<br />

not eligible for the payments.<br />

This policy, said Concord Town<br />

Manager Christopher Whelan,<br />

accomplished its goal and has been<br />

less costly than the town originally<br />

believed it would be.<br />

“It doesn’t provide for double dipping,<br />

basically makes the person<br />

whole,” Whelan said. “Our experience<br />

has been, the financial impact<br />

has been very minimal.”<br />

That’s because, according to<br />

Whelan, only one employee, a<br />

Concord Police Officer, signed up for<br />

the payments when he was called to<br />

active duty.<br />

“It didn’t end [up] being [as] financially<br />

burdensome as it might be,” he<br />

said. “We thought it was the least we<br />

could do.”<br />

The Concord policy could be a starting<br />

point in formula Charlton’s own<br />

payment method.<br />

“Maybe their policy is one that we<br />

would look at,” Swensen said.<br />

The $12,000 annual payments<br />

afforded under the Concord policy,<br />

Selectman Peter Boria said, wouldn’t<br />

help this town’s employee-soldiers<br />

much.<br />

“I’m not sure if the board would<br />

consider that or not,” Boria said.<br />

Whatever benefits the town might<br />

afford its active duty employees would<br />

benefit Charlton Police Sgt. Daniel<br />

Dowd. The 40-year-old U.S. Army<br />

Reservist is serving in Iraq, but is<br />

scheduled to return to this country<br />

soon, and took about a $4,394 monthly<br />

pay cut during his tour of duty. Dowd<br />

makes $76,934 annually as a police<br />

officer and $24,753.60 as a soldier, and<br />

has noted some financial difficulties<br />

during that time.<br />

Dowd, according to Boria, who has<br />

been communicating with him, is<br />

allowed to carry over his municipal<br />

vacation time he hasn’t used.<br />

Dowd has done his best to deal with<br />

the situation.<br />

“Every deployment has a financial<br />

and emotional cost to every service<br />

member and I am not unique. I tried<br />

to prepare as best I could before leaving<br />

by curbing spending and saving as<br />

much as possible,” Dowd wrote in a<br />

Dec. 22 e-mail from Iraq.<br />

Dowd, in an e-mail to Boria, said the<br />

town can’t do anything else to help his<br />

situation.<br />

“I’m kind of going to let it go,”<br />

Boria said.<br />

Attempts to reach Dowd in Iraq<br />

were unsuccessful last week.<br />

Fund keeps goals of two nurses alive<br />

•THE CHARLTON VILLAGER•3<br />

BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL<br />

STAFF WRITER<br />

SCHOLARSHIPS WILL AID TWO LOCAL STUDENTS<br />

CHARLTON — Monika<br />

Drabato has always wanted to be<br />

a nurse. Now, she’s getting a little<br />

boost toward her dream.<br />

Drabato, 18, and <strong>Southbridge</strong><br />

resident Maria Cancel have each<br />

been awarded a $1,000<br />

Olson/Fournier Memorial<br />

Nursing scholarship intended to<br />

propel individuals who can communicate<br />

with patients in more<br />

than one language into the nursing<br />

field, as a nurse or licensed<br />

practical nurse. The award is<br />

going to Drabato, a Polish speaker,<br />

this year despite the usual<br />

requirement that applicants<br />

speak Spanish. The awards, given<br />

to applicants already accepted<br />

into a college nursing program<br />

and living in the area served by<br />

Harrington Memorial Hospital,<br />

are named after two deceased<br />

nurses who worked at the facility.<br />

The awards were announced<br />

Monday, May 19.<br />

One member of the five-person<br />

committee that picks from a pool<br />

of applicants who had to submit<br />

essays, Harrington surgical nurse<br />

and Park Road resident Lois Fay,<br />

said after reviewing their submissions<br />

she knew both women<br />

deserved the award.<br />

“They both show a great deal of<br />

respect for their work,” Fay said<br />

during a May 27 telephone interview.<br />

Barbara Olson and Kathleen<br />

Fournier, for which the scholarship<br />

fund was created after their<br />

deaths, had both hoped to<br />

improve the Spanish skills to better<br />

communicate with the<br />

Hispanic patients they treated<br />

during their night shifts at<br />

Harrington. Both women died in<br />

separate car accidents, Olson in a<br />

2001 Massachusetts crash and<br />

Fournier in Oklahoma. Since<br />

then, the committee has solicited<br />

donations from the community to<br />

fund the program.<br />

Drabato and Cancel will carry<br />

the women’s wishes forward as<br />

they pursue their nursing studies<br />

and climb up the ladder of the<br />

health care field they have<br />

already broken into. Drabato’s<br />

non-English speaking grandmother’s<br />

struggle to speak with<br />

medical care providers inspired<br />

her to apply for the funding.<br />

Drabato learned Polish from her<br />

parents.<br />

“I have always wanted to be a<br />

nurse, however, I now know that<br />

nursing is so much more than<br />

helping people. I am fluent in<br />

English and Polish, and I believe<br />

that would be a great contribution,”<br />

Drabato said.<br />

Drabato, a senior at Bartlett<br />

High School in Webster who is<br />

scheduled to graduate Friday,<br />

recently completed her volunteer<br />

service at Hubbard Regional<br />

Hospital. There, she surveyed<br />

patients assisted nurses and<br />

observed hospital activities. The<br />

aspiring surgical nurse, whose<br />

interest in the medical field developed<br />

a year ago, will begin her<br />

medical studies in two weeks at<br />

Anna Maria College.<br />

Cancel already serves as a<br />

Spanish-to-English translator at<br />

Harrington, where she works as a<br />

certified nursing assistant, and<br />

plans to put her money toward<br />

her studies at Quinsigamond<br />

Community College.<br />

“This scholarship will help me<br />

tremendously with my day to<br />

financial responsibilities. I have<br />

been inspired to go to school, earn<br />

my degree and educate others in<br />

my community in their native<br />

language,” Cancel said in a press<br />

release. “This scholarship will<br />

help make my dream a reality.”<br />

This year’s awards, Fay said,<br />

At left, Monika Drabato.<br />

represent a dramatic improvement<br />

over last year after struggling<br />

to recruit Spanish speakers<br />

for the award. Only one $500<br />

scholarship was given out last<br />

year, to Dudley resident Amanda<br />

Wilson. This year, seven individuals<br />

applied for the awards.<br />

“We’re getting better,” Fay said.<br />

School officials mull cell phone regulations<br />

BY PATRICK SKAHILL<br />

TIMES STAFF WRITER<br />

DUDLEY — As cell phones<br />

become more akin to an extra<br />

body part than an electronic<br />

luxury throughout the country,<br />

local school officials are<br />

increasingly finding themselves<br />

scratching their heads<br />

with how to regulate these<br />

devices during school hours.<br />

Last Wednesday, May 28,<br />

members of the Dudley-<br />

Charlton School Committee<br />

briefly discussed the issue as<br />

they mulled over potential<br />

changes to student handbooks<br />

with district principals.<br />

“We’re getting into a time<br />

now where [cell phones] are<br />

an appendage ... I’m not sure<br />

at this time we want to [ban]<br />

these,” said Superintendent<br />

Sean Gilrein, “but whatever<br />

we can do to curb their use<br />

during the day is worthwhile.”<br />

While committee members<br />

and district administrators<br />

all agreed unilaterally banning<br />

cell phones on school<br />

grounds would make little<br />

sense, they also recognized<br />

the distractions inherent in<br />

allowing students to carry<br />

these devices into class.<br />

“We’ve all had that problem,”<br />

said committee member<br />

Catherine Kabala, noting<br />

how cell phones go off in<br />

classrooms all the time. “It’s<br />

out of control.”<br />

Currently at Shepherd Hill<br />

Regional High School, students<br />

using electronic devices<br />

— which also include MP3<br />

players and mobile web<br />

devices — during classroom<br />

time are subjected to increasingly<br />

severe penalties ranging<br />

anywhere from a warning<br />

to an out of school suspension,<br />

said Principal Timothy<br />

Schur.<br />

Over at Dudley Middle<br />

School, electronic devices are<br />

prohibited during academic<br />

hours and any device brought<br />

to school must be turned off<br />

and stored in a locker during<br />

Hospital offers child/teen support group<br />

the school day. If this rule is<br />

violated, the devices are confiscated<br />

and returned only to<br />

a parent or guardian.<br />

This same confiscation regulation<br />

holds at the high<br />

school as well.<br />

While committee members<br />

said they had no hang ups<br />

about school officials confiscating<br />

devices that hinder<br />

classroom learning, some<br />

members did raise questions<br />

about how the devices are<br />

taken, pointing to the potential<br />

liability issues that could<br />

arise.<br />

Kabala highlighted one<br />

issue of particular concern<br />

saying phones confiscated by<br />

school officials, if stolen,<br />

could lead to “a lot of financial<br />

issues” for the district.<br />

Over at Shepherd Hill,<br />

Schur said there are nearly 20<br />

cell phones currently sitting<br />

at the school that have not<br />

been claimed by parents.<br />

The phones are all kept<br />

under lock and key, a practice<br />

committee members praised<br />

Gilrein<br />

and said should be implemented<br />

across the district.<br />

By the end of the brief discussion,<br />

school officials and<br />

committee members agreed<br />

— electronic devices should<br />

only be confiscated by school<br />

administrators, not teachers,<br />

and once confiscated, the<br />

school is responsible, so<br />

administrators must be sure<br />

they are kept secure.<br />

While an outright ban on<br />

these electronic devices will<br />

probably never happen,<br />

administrators did say they<br />

thought their solution was<br />

the fairest and most classroom-friendly<br />

way of dealing<br />

with the problem since they<br />

argue it will act as a deterrent<br />

to classroom distractions, but<br />

still leave students in possession<br />

of devices, which have in<br />

this day in age become a vital<br />

lifeline for coordinating after<br />

school activities and schedules<br />

with parents.<br />

Committee members also<br />

emphasized administrators<br />

must make very clear in their<br />

handbooks that neither they<br />

nor any teacher will have the<br />

right to go through the contents<br />

of a student’s confiscated<br />

electronic device.<br />

Other items discussed during<br />

Wednesday night’s meeting<br />

included the approval of a<br />

$17,100 grant from the state<br />

for a summer MCAS program<br />

at the school.<br />

Payment should be transferred<br />

to the district after<br />

July 1.<br />

Bank names 11 new officers<br />

About 175 applications for<br />

the program have been sent<br />

out to students and Gilrein<br />

said he expects enrollment to<br />

be higher this year than last.<br />

Gilrein additionally<br />

announced a generous donation<br />

of one Smartboard to<br />

Shepherd Hill from the<br />

French River Education<br />

Center, Inc., a non-profit educational,<br />

training and support<br />

agency based in North<br />

Oxford.<br />

The center will also donate<br />

an “Integrity Call<br />

Notification System” for the<br />

next school year, which will<br />

be used to notify parents in<br />

the event of an emergency.<br />

“We’d like to thank [The<br />

French River Education<br />

Center] for their continued<br />

efforts to give back to the<br />

school district,” Gilrein said.<br />

WHAT IS IT?<br />

CONTEST ENTRY FORM: June 6, 2008<br />

Deadline: June 12, 2008<br />

My guess for this week's photo is:<br />

_____________________________________________<br />

The current difficult economy is<br />

pointing many shoppers toward a<br />

variety of lower-than-retail-priced<br />

clothing stores. The managers of<br />

shops with names like Time & Again<br />

and Renaissance say that they are<br />

seeing new faces sliding the hangers<br />

on their clothing racks. Indeed, the<br />

National Association of Resale and<br />

Thrift Shops reports annualized<br />

growth at a rate of 5 percent.<br />

There are several kinds of clothing<br />

stores that feature below-retail<br />

prices. Factory outlets, some of<br />

which feature seconds or slightly<br />

marred apparel, and avoid the<br />

markup associated with the distribution<br />

channel leading to retail, are<br />

often found in malls. Discount stores<br />

sell goods that they usually have purchased<br />

in large quantities, which<br />

enables them to offer attractive pricing.<br />

Off-price stores charge less than<br />

retail and more than discount, often<br />

because they offer remainder items.<br />

Long regarded as semi-charitable<br />

in nature, thrift shops have recently<br />

gained prominence. The term “thrifting”<br />

has entered the parlance of<br />

some shoppers. There are approximately<br />

25,000 thrift stores in the<br />

country, and recent surveys indicate<br />

that about 18 percent of all<br />

Americans shop in thrift stores. The<br />

thrift shop industry expects to see an<br />

upturn in late summer-early fall<br />

FINANCE<br />

SENSE<br />

THOMAS J.<br />

SMALARZ<br />

back-to-school shopping for youngsters’<br />

clothing.<br />

Parents and guardians say that<br />

they can find what is typically<br />

termed as gently worn apparel with<br />

labels that are popular with children,<br />

and pay significantly less than they<br />

would for the identical items as new.<br />

Meanwhile, adults are also purchasing<br />

for themselves, at markdown<br />

prices, in thrift shops as well as in<br />

consignment stores. Consignment<br />

stores typically have prices higher<br />

than those in thrift shops, but they<br />

sell higher-end or designer merchandise.<br />

Perhaps because everyone loves a<br />

bargain, consumers who either don’t<br />

feel an economic pinch nowadays or<br />

are comparatively little affected by<br />

today’s economy are drawn to the<br />

lower-than-retail spectrum of stores.<br />

Just as sustainability is fast becoming<br />

a watchword in daily life with<br />

respect to environmental concerns,<br />

purchasing recycled clothing is gaining<br />

regard as a prudent environmental<br />

practice.<br />

The attractively priced merchandise<br />

must come from somewhere, and<br />

many people sell or donate their<br />

unwanted or unusable clothing or<br />

household goods to thrift and consignment<br />

stores. Under certain circumstances<br />

such donations can fetch<br />

a tax deduction.<br />

The world of finance reaches every<br />

corner of daily life. Consumer behavior<br />

is a central part of financial matters,<br />

and nowadays this can include<br />

the clothes on your back.<br />

LEARNING<br />

The sky’s the limit…<br />

HILL STUDENTS PUT PEN TO PAPER IN CREATIVE WRITING CLASS<br />

BY PATRICK SKAHILL<br />

TIMES STAFF WRITER<br />

DUDLEY — From essays on the<br />

Russian Revolution to lab reports<br />

on the freezing properties of liquid<br />

nitrogen, high schoolers are<br />

used to doing a lot of writing during<br />

their academic career.<br />

Unfortunately, however, teachers<br />

are not often at liberty to give<br />

writers much leeway when it<br />

comes to subject matter.<br />

Perhaps that’s why Sean<br />

Cusick’s class at Shepherd Hill<br />

Regional High School this spring<br />

was such a smash hit this semester.<br />

Throughout the spring, juniors<br />

and seniors in Cusick’s Creative<br />

Writing class worked on producing<br />

fully original novels.<br />

Brainstorming without any formal<br />

guidelines, each of the students<br />

were encouraged to explore<br />

their own creativity and come up<br />

with original characters and plot<br />

lines, all of which were then condensed<br />

into bound books, to be<br />

housed in the school’s library.<br />

Some of the novels will even be<br />

submitted for publication to the<br />

Library of Congress and independent<br />

publishing houses. All<br />

students’ works will be entered in<br />

Amazon.com’s “Find a Novelist<br />

Contest.”<br />

While Cusick said getting the<br />

upperclassmen onboard with the<br />

project during a semester when<br />

“senioritis” is usually in full<br />

swing wasn’t an easy task, he<br />

Two Charlton students<br />

make Academy’s honors list<br />

WORCESTER — The following Charlton students<br />

were named to the second Honor Roll at<br />

Worcester Academy in the 2007-08 school year:<br />

IAN ROBINSON, 11th grade, and LAUREN BARTON,<br />

seventh grade.<br />

noted how he was astounded by<br />

the positive response to the project<br />

he got from the students.<br />

“The first day of class I came in<br />

and told the students, ‘You’re<br />

going to write a book,’“ he said.<br />

“I’ve never done anything like this<br />

... but every single one of them<br />

tried and some came up with some<br />

extraordinary things.”<br />

Most of the students chose to<br />

write about characters and subjects<br />

close to them, with the majority<br />

of the young writers penning<br />

works about high school-aged<br />

characters and situations.<br />

Throughout the process, students<br />

shared their work with others,<br />

engaging in peer editing sessions<br />

to exchange ideas and work<br />

on new ways to approach their<br />

writing.<br />

While the peer review process<br />

was helpful in pushing many of<br />

the stories forward, producing stories<br />

running upwards of 100 pages<br />

and beyond was no easy task.<br />

Not surprisingly, many students<br />

said they hit some roadblocks<br />

along the way.<br />

One technique Cusick used to<br />

help students conquer their<br />

“writer’s block” was the “I wonder<br />

if” methodology, which student<br />

Corey Latour explained as particularly<br />

useful during his creative<br />

process.<br />

“We’d come up with random situations<br />

for the characters and<br />

work off those,” Latour said, noting<br />

how the process promoted<br />

stream of consciousness writing<br />

that helped take the stories in<br />

unexpected and exciting directions.<br />

Overall, students expressed<br />

their enjoyment of the class, saying<br />

it was a welcome creative<br />

break during their highly structured<br />

and challenging days.<br />

“It’s a release from the day,” said<br />

Junior Dayna Menard, noting<br />

how she looks forward to the class,<br />

which often features music to help<br />

facilitate students’ writing.<br />

All students recorded their stories<br />

in a hardbound professional<br />

journal, 30 of which were donated<br />

to the class free of charge from<br />

Ampad Journals.<br />

“In my 13 years of teaching, I’ve<br />

never had a class quite like this,”<br />

Cusick said. “My greatest joy was<br />

every single kid in class did it ...<br />

expectations,” he added with a<br />

OPINION<br />

VIEWS AND COMMENTARY FROM CHARLTON, CHARLTON CITY, CHARLTON DEPOT AND BEYOND<br />

EDITORIAL<br />

A time for<br />

deliberation,<br />

a time for ‘No’<br />

There were no doubt many questions on the<br />

minds of health officials in <strong>Southbridge</strong> as<br />

they began deliberations last week on the<br />

request by Casella Waste Systems to take in<br />

more municipal solid waste (MSW), and a correspondingly<br />

smaller amount of construction<br />

and demolition debris (C&D) at the town landfill.<br />

A public hearing that at first did not seem<br />

headed for extra innings did, indeed, evolve<br />

into much more than a Q&A between the<br />

Board of Health, Casella and a few interested<br />

citizens. Other towns (including Charlton)<br />

became involved, questions were raised about<br />

personal and financial motives and an entire<br />

group, dedicated to defeating Casella’s plans,<br />

emerged.<br />

As often happens at times like these, two<br />

camps sprung up: those for (sometimes<br />

referred to as “pro-dump”) and those against<br />

(commonly called “anti-Casella”) the site<br />

assignment change.<br />

As also often happens in such a lengthy and<br />

contentious debate, emotions ran high and discussions<br />

often veered into the personal and<br />

political. There were claims of conspiracy theories<br />

and charges of scare tactics being<br />

employed.<br />

Now, however, the hearings are concluded,<br />

thanks to a marathon session that stretched<br />

until after midnight Tuesday, May 20.<br />

So began the next “phase,” if you will, with<br />

the Board of Health now left to deliberate and<br />

ultimately decide whether to approve the<br />

request. There is a date of June 13 by which a<br />

decision is expected.<br />

Removing emotions, financial considerations<br />

and politics from the discussion, there is<br />

this important question to answer: Is approval<br />

of this site assignment change in the best<br />

interest of the town, its residents and those in<br />

neighboring communities such as Charlton<br />

and Sturbridge?<br />

Of course, another question might arise as<br />

to just which interests are being given more<br />

weight: health or financial.<br />

During the just-completed hearings, Interim<br />

Town Manager John Healey started negotiating<br />

with Casella representatives to try and get<br />

a better deal out a contract that was renegotiated<br />

and approved last year by Town Council. His<br />

involvement yielded cries of “foul!” and led to<br />

speculation that the health board was being<br />

unfairly pressured to render a favorable decision.<br />

There can be no questioning the financial<br />

challenges facing this town. They face every<br />

town in the commonwealth at a time when the<br />

national and global economy is in a weakened<br />

state. There can also be no questioning that the<br />

original landfill contract negotiated with the<br />

former landfill operator, Wood Recycling,<br />

which remains intact if Casella’s request is<br />

denied, does few favors for the town.<br />

Those facts cannot, and should not be<br />

ignored.<br />

Neither can the concerns of so many people<br />

about their well-being and the future health of<br />

their children.<br />

How, then, to give more weight to financial<br />

considerations than health? What we have,<br />

right now, is speculation about the environmental<br />

and health impacts years down the<br />

road. We have testimony from experts that wetlands<br />

have been and will be adversely affected.<br />

We have statements of fact that the presence of<br />

gulls at the landfill will most certainly multiply<br />

with the introduction of more MSW, which,<br />

critics argue, will pose both a health risk and a<br />

hazard to the nearby airport.<br />

In the end, it is speculation because we have<br />

not seen it, yet. The question then becomes: Do<br />

you make a decision based on speculation?<br />

The answer, in this case, is yes.<br />

When faced with the slightest possibility<br />

that his or her child’s life might be in danger, a<br />

parent is always going to err on the side of caution,<br />

without question. So, too, must caution be<br />

taken in this instance.<br />

Reverting to the old contract is not preferable,<br />

and the fiscal picture here is bleak. Under<br />

no circumstances, however, can a responsible<br />

community ever begin putting its wallet in<br />

front of its health.<br />

Casella will most likely appeal a negative<br />

decision. That will cost the town. The problem,<br />

however, is you can put a price on things like<br />

court cases. You can’t put a price on the health<br />

and well being of your community and its people.<br />

In one of the hardest decisions they will<br />

probably ever have to make as representatives<br />

of this town, health board members, in good<br />

conscience, should say “No” to this request.<br />

KATHLEEN WALKER<br />

CHARLTON<br />

Of jobs, interviews and cell phones<br />

Idon’t remember all<br />

the details of how I<br />

got my first job.<br />

I was about 6 months<br />

shy of 16, and now I’m<br />

almost a week beyond year<br />

42, so the memory’s a little<br />

hazy.<br />

I do remember it was at<br />

a restaurant in Auburn BIRD’S<br />

that is no longer in operation.<br />

The job was as a dishwasher,<br />

and anyone who’s<br />

NEST<br />

ever been — or still is — a WALTER BIRD<br />

dishwasher knows that<br />

while the dishes may get<br />

clean, the worker doesn’t. It’s a dirty, thankless,<br />

pretty much all-around crappy job.<br />

But if nobody did it, we wouldn’t be eating<br />

out at any restaurants. Or, if we did, we’d be<br />

bringing our own towels and dish detergent.<br />

Forgetting the details of how I came to be<br />

employed, I do remember that it entailed —<br />

as most jobs do — filling out an application<br />

and speaking with a manager or assistant<br />

manager or someone in a position of authority.<br />

No matter your age, it can be a nervewracking<br />

experience. As a not-quite-16-yearold,<br />

it’s even worse. Or so I imagine.<br />

Ah, if only the memory were still crystal<br />

clear.<br />

That I even remember my first “real” job<br />

at all is thanks, in part, to the woman who<br />

was standing at the counter with me in the<br />

local doughnut shop a few days back.<br />

She was holding a cell phone to her left<br />

ear, but found the time to say something to<br />

the woman behind the counter, whom I presumed<br />

was employee. She, too, had a cell<br />

phone at her ear.<br />

Apparently understanding the woman’s<br />

request, she disappeared, for a moment, to<br />

the backroom. When she reappeared, she<br />

was holding a sheet of paper, which she proceeded<br />

to hand over to the woman, who was,<br />

mind you, still talking on the cell phone.<br />

Being a reporter (OK, being just plain<br />

nosy), I cast a glance at the document and<br />

saw it was a job application. Indeed, the<br />

woman, who had headed to a seat where<br />

another woman (presumably a friend) had<br />

already taken up residence, turned back<br />

toward the counter and asked the worker if<br />

the place was hiring. She was told it was.<br />

She then took a seat at the table, hung up<br />

the cell phone and got to the task of filling<br />

out said application.<br />

Now, I’m not great at job interviews — neither<br />

as the interviewer or interviewee.<br />

Nonetheless, I’ve read a few tips and, at<br />

times when I’ve had to seek employment for<br />

lack of a job (knock on wood, it has been a<br />

while), I’ve managed to at least come off<br />

halfway presentable.<br />

Now, granted, the woman at this donut<br />

shop wasn’t on an interview. She was merely<br />

picking up an application. But assuming<br />

the woman behind the counter was a management<br />

type, and we’ll assume that because<br />

her uniform was a different color than the<br />

other workers’ (not because she was on a cell<br />

phone), wouldn’t logic dictate that you’d<br />

want to make a good impression here, too?<br />

Even if it was just the transferal of a piece<br />

of paper.<br />

OK, so we weren’t talking a job with<br />

Trump. No doubt the hourly wage is either<br />

at or just above state minimum.<br />

But a job application is a job application.<br />

An interview is an interview. Of course, of<br />

course.<br />

As one who is now on the other side of the<br />

desk (the interviewer), I am sometimes<br />

amazed at how prospective employees show<br />

up for an interview. Most at least have the<br />

sense to dress appropriately. The guys typically<br />

show up in a suit and tie, or at least an<br />

outfit that show some forethought and coordination.<br />

Never mind that, after they’re<br />

hired, they show up in loafers and un-tucked<br />

shirts.<br />

Hey, at least they knew enough how to get<br />

the job.<br />

Oddly enough, appearance never really<br />

seems to be a problem for the female interviewees.<br />

Sorry, guys. I guess it’s just a better sense<br />

of fashion. Or just a better sense of common<br />

sense.<br />

I’ve been fortunate enough not to have had<br />

an applicant show up for an interview with<br />

a cell phone attached to his or her head.<br />

I have, however, had applicants who sit in<br />

silence as you do all the talking.<br />

Occasionally, they nod or grunt, all the while<br />

glancing at the pictures on your wall or the<br />

computer on your desk.<br />

That’s if they even get to the interview<br />

part.<br />

The first trick is to get the interview, and<br />

that’s where the resumé and cover letter<br />

come in.<br />

One prospective applicant some months<br />

back actually wrote: “I know I probably<br />

won’t get this job because you’ll think I’m<br />

too old and too qualified.”<br />

He didn’t get the job, but not for the reasons<br />

he supposed.<br />

There are those at the opposite end of the<br />

spectrum, who let you know how highly they<br />

think of themselves. Wrote one applicant: “I<br />

am the last person you’ll have to interview.”<br />

He wasn’t.<br />

I don’t know whether the woman in that<br />

doughnut shop ever got her job, or whether<br />

she even got an interview. Or maybe the<br />

manager hasn’t gone through the applications,<br />

yet.<br />

A word of advice to both of them, should<br />

they meet again: Ditch the cell phones and<br />

have an actual conversation. Or maybe the<br />

interview might actually go better if they sit<br />

and talk through their phones.<br />

Power to<br />

the people!<br />

AS YOU<br />

LIKE IT<br />

MARK ASHTON<br />

Sometimes it's important to just stop and<br />

smell the ... ozone!<br />

Take a recent Sunday morning, for example.<br />

Or last Saturday afternoon. In the latter case,<br />

there we were, going about our weekend business,<br />

when a loud bang rattled<br />

the windows in the<br />

kitchen (it sounded like a<br />

cannon being fired somewhere<br />

down the street, really!)<br />

and all the lights and<br />

appliances went off simultaneously.<br />

Everything running<br />

(on electricity) suddenly<br />

went silent. The whirs and<br />

hums and ticks and tocks of<br />

modern living went whirless<br />

and mum, tick-less and<br />

tock-less.<br />

"What was THAT?" came<br />

the question from the next<br />

room, and I gave it my best<br />

guess. "Sounds like a transformer<br />

exploded," I said, as if<br />

I really knew. "Somewhere<br />

down the street, I think."<br />

"Well, I want to know what happened," came<br />

the concerned follow-up. As usual, she needed<br />

to know if it was the entire town, just our<br />

neighborhood, or merely our own home that<br />

was now powerless.<br />

I took the hint, and to the street in search of<br />

information. With the power out, the computer<br />

I had just turned on to write a column with was<br />

suddenly useless. Likewise, the stove my wife<br />

needed to help make our contribution to the<br />

First Communion celebration we were headed<br />

for in New Hampshire was, for now at least,<br />

defunct.<br />

"I'm on it," I said on my way out the back door.<br />

By the time I reached the street, there was a<br />

neighbor and her son, headed in the same<br />

direction. "Do you guys have power?" she<br />

asked, and I confessed that we didn't, momentarily<br />

comforted to learn that the problem was<br />

bigger than just our house. We walked together<br />

down the street, looking for — I don't know<br />

what, a charred box of some sort hanging from<br />

one of the neighborhood telephone poles.<br />

"That looks like a transformer," we said upon<br />

reaching one such appliance. "I bet it's the same<br />

one as last Sunday," said my walking companion.<br />

Of course, neither of us really knows what a<br />

blown transformer looks like, or how big a<br />

service area it might affect. So we kept walking,<br />

around the corner, to the next street over.<br />

People were going about their Saturday business,<br />

mowing lawns, watering plants. We<br />

inquired and learned that they still had power.<br />

So perhaps the bang hadn't been quite as big as<br />

I thought.<br />

We turned another corner, walked down<br />

another street, discussed how nice it was that<br />

the nearby hospital never loses power because<br />

of its emergency generators. We confessed that<br />

we both had emergency generators back at<br />

home and wondered why power outages<br />

seemed to be coming all too frequently nowadays.<br />

The next street over also still had electricity.<br />

Folks on porches said they had neither<br />

heard the big bang nor were suffering its<br />

effects. We turned the corner back onto Glover<br />

Street and saw more big boxes, more electrical<br />

hardware, more opportunities for electricity to<br />

go awry on its way into OUR homes. "Go ahead<br />

and call National Grid," suggested another<br />

neighbor. "The more of us who call, the faster<br />

they'll get here."<br />

That's right. It had been 15 minutes since the<br />

big bang and no trucks were yet on the scene<br />

(wherever it was!), so after reporting back to<br />

the home front, I called the "outage report hotline"<br />

(on a cell phone) and was told the power<br />

should be restored by 2:30.<br />

Then what to do with our newfound two<br />

hours of powerlessness? So many things needed<br />

to be accomplished before we headed for<br />

New Hampshire, but writing a column could<br />

not now be one of them. Nor would cooking<br />

anything for the party be an option. Maybe I'll<br />

do some vacuuming — no, not really! Well then,<br />

how about cleaning up the cellar (no, too dark)<br />

or the garage (well, the door opener doesn't<br />

really work right now)? So maybe ...<br />

Can't watch TV, or even a favorite DVD<br />

movie. Can't listen to CDs or transcribe more<br />

old LPs onto discs via the computer. Can't even<br />

go around the house resetting all the clocks yet,<br />

until the power is truly back.<br />

So we ended up seizing the moment as it was<br />

given to us, sitting and relaxing in the living<br />

room, reading good books, enjoying the quiet of<br />

the early afternoon accompanied by the cheeps<br />

and chirps of feathered friends instead of the<br />

whirs and hums of refrigerator motors, computer<br />

consoles, and cellar dehumidifiers.<br />

And in the peace came comfort, in the knowledge<br />

that this respite from "normalcy" brought<br />

not misfortune but insight, not inconvenience<br />

but the chance to walk and talk with a neighbor<br />

not well-enough known. A chance to set aside<br />

Saturday chores (and it ended up being for only<br />

an hour) to savor serenity, and pleasures all-toooften<br />

neglected in the name of "getting things<br />

done."<br />

In the last two weeks, our neighborhood has<br />

had at least three power outages (for a variety<br />

of reasons), so I won't suggest that we seek out<br />

more such occasions; they'll probably continue<br />

on their own without any encouragement from<br />

me. But I won't fear them or complain about<br />

them quite so much anymore.<br />

Being powerless, in the end, can provide<br />

enlightenment and a new appreciation, of both<br />

the power that connects us to the tools and<br />

appliances of modern living and to one another,<br />

the people and things around us that truly<br />

matter.<br />

•THE CHARLTON VILLAGER•11<br />

Selectman: Middle East people have story, too<br />

TRIP<br />

continued from page 1<br />

U.S. Damascus had been<br />

sealed off for them to travel<br />

safely through. On this day, as<br />

with every other place they<br />

traveled to, the governments<br />

of each country provided<br />

strict security and medical<br />

assistance for the riders and<br />

rolled out a massive welcome<br />

party.<br />

“It was unbelievable,”<br />

Walker said. “We were royalty<br />

or something.”<br />

The women received their<br />

first taste of daily life in the<br />

Middle East after arriving at<br />

Qunaitra City in the Golan<br />

Heights, to which both the<br />

Syrian and Israeli governments<br />

lay claim. The village<br />

is a wasteland of twisted<br />

metal and rock, the results of<br />

the Israeli military forces<br />

bombing it, that Syrians preserve<br />

as reminder about their<br />

plight. Seeing it firsthand and<br />

up close, both women said,<br />

was striking.<br />

“Everything was devastated.<br />

There were bomb fields all<br />

around,” Boynton said. “It<br />

just makes it sick to your<br />

stomach.”<br />

Villagers told the women to<br />

carry these memories back to<br />

the American government,<br />

which they say is unfairly<br />

pro-Israel.<br />

The women picked up their<br />

cycles, after three nights in<br />

the police state, and rode all<br />

the way to Amman, Jordan.<br />

After arriving there, the<br />

women walked the streets of<br />

the city soliciting political<br />

opinions from its dwellers.<br />

People there, Walker said,<br />

told her they believe the U.S.<br />

is very powerful and exerts<br />

much influence over world<br />

events. In general, Middle<br />

Eastern people believe the<br />

U.S. and Israel control much<br />

of what happens in the<br />

region.<br />

“This was news to us,”<br />

Walker said.<br />

However, Walker said, the<br />

people she met believed the<br />

U.S. can be “very influential”<br />

in ending the Palestinian-<br />

Israel dispute.<br />

Despite the violence still<br />

plaguing the region, both<br />

women were struck by how<br />

people carried on their daily<br />

lives with family, friends and<br />

tradition, much like<br />

Americans do.<br />

“They are very good family<br />

people,” Walker said. “The<br />

extended family is extremely<br />

important to them.”<br />

Their journey took another<br />

somber turn when, after<br />

arriving in the Palestinian<br />

territories May 11 before completing<br />

their ride May 15, the<br />

pair visited the Jenin refugee<br />

camp, where many<br />

Palestinian refugees have<br />

lived for years. Palestinians<br />

alleged the Israeli military<br />

killed many refugees during<br />

an assault on the camp in<br />

2002. Seeing the camp,<br />

Boynton said, was an eyeopener.<br />

“The Palestinian people are<br />

just truly suffering,” she said.<br />

Coming face to face with<br />

them, Boynton said, has<br />

inspired her to spread the<br />

details of their plight.<br />

“I guess I want to just<br />

spread the word more,”<br />

Boynton said. “It just really, I<br />

think, changed me.”<br />

Walker’s travels left her<br />

with a poignant thought on a<br />

ride that received little coverage<br />

from the American<br />

media.<br />

“They have a story, too,”<br />

Walker said.<br />

Exemptions could<br />

Exemption G, lets a town<br />

withhold documents generated<br />

while developing policy.<br />

Attempts to reach Craver<br />

for comment were unsuccessful<br />

last week and earlier this<br />

week, but she did say, last<br />

month, that the town would<br />

not be violating the law if it<br />

inserted a disclaimer into the<br />

broadcast version of the tape<br />

noting the changes made<br />

from the original recording.<br />

It’s unclear whether the<br />

recording has aired yet, but<br />

Craver said the edited version<br />

will air at some point, and her<br />

office will keep an unedited<br />

version for residents to<br />

request. The Charlton<br />

Villager, last week, filed a<br />

Freedom Of Information<br />

request with Craver’s office<br />

for copies of both the unedited<br />

and edited versions of the<br />

tape. Craver has 10 days, from<br />

the receipt of the request to<br />

respond.<br />

Selectmen Chairman Rick<br />

Swensen could not be reached<br />

for comment, but Selectman<br />

Scott Brown said, after being<br />

told of the possible legal violation,<br />

the town would need to<br />

research the legality of editing<br />

the tape. Brown argued<br />

that the camera panning the<br />

crowd was a “mistake,”<br />

because the video should not<br />

show how residents voted.<br />

“We should not be documenting<br />

how people vote,” he<br />

said. “Why perpetuate a mistake?<br />

I don’t think that makes<br />

us less transparent. The correction<br />

of a mistake, doesn’t<br />

do anything to make a governing<br />

body less transparent.”<br />

Selectman Vice-Chairman<br />

Peter Boria last month said<br />

the tape should not expose<br />

voters’ opinions to the public.<br />

“You’re in a public setting,<br />

your vote should not be<br />

recorded for people to analyze”<br />

and “where there might<br />

be repercussions” or “ill feelings,”<br />

Boria said. “We’re editing<br />

something that shouldn’t<br />

have been taped in the first<br />

place.”<br />

Commissioner Paul Gagner<br />

said.<br />

Lemansky proposed the<br />

new list after listening to<br />

Christopher McClure, who,<br />

representing the Trolley<br />

Crossing Water Association,<br />

asked to be included a new<br />

list. Charlton Housing<br />

Authority Director Jean<br />

Vincent and the housing project’s<br />

engineer, Mike<br />

Andrade, requested the same.<br />

Both will be on the new list.<br />

“Those gallons are reserved<br />

for specific lists of contaminated<br />

properties,” Lemansky<br />

said. “The obligation on our<br />

side is that those properties<br />

are the first to connect.”<br />

Commissioner Sandra Dam<br />

said none of McClure’s<br />

group‘s properties are on the<br />

current list, but supported<br />

Lemansky’s idea.<br />

“That seems quite reasonable<br />

to me. Property outside<br />

of our area we can’t really<br />

account for,” Dam said.<br />

“He wants a timetable here.<br />

We can’t really help him,”<br />

Commission Chairman John<br />

Elliot said.<br />

Approving the idea might<br />

help McClure’s group, given<br />

its circumstances.<br />

“We do have contamination<br />

in the well. Right now they’re<br />

on bottled water,” McClure<br />

said to the chairman, who<br />

couldn’t make any promises.<br />

Cost, Andrade said, stops<br />

the housing agency from performing<br />

its own treatment.<br />

“The cost of treatment is<br />

exorbitant,” Andrade said.<br />

Lemansky gave the public<br />

insight into its approach to<br />

doling out that water.<br />

“It’s going to be wait and<br />

see,” he said. “If the availability<br />

is there, it’s there.”<br />

Parallel to this effort is the<br />

ongoing search for a public<br />

water supply by the Water<br />

Search Subcommittee,<br />

formed late last year, to bring<br />

a public water supply to the<br />

town, which currently lacks<br />

one. That group is asking<br />

other local communities<br />

whether it can sell water to<br />

them. In January, Oxford<br />

declined Charlton’s solicitation<br />

for water. Spencer,<br />

Sturbridge and <strong>Southbridge</strong><br />

officials have all agreed to<br />

talk to the town about possibly<br />

selling them water.<br />

SPORTS<br />

Rockets blast off against No. 2 Minutemen<br />

AUBURN HURLER TAKES NO-HITTER INTO FIFTH INNING<br />

BY JOHN RADZINSKI<br />

SPORTS STAFF WRITER<br />

CHARLTON — No. 7<br />

Auburn’s nickname, “the<br />

Rockets,” seemed very appropriate<br />

Monday, June 2, as they<br />

made No. 2 Bay Path’s field<br />

atop Muggett Hill their personal<br />

launching pad in a 9-1<br />

victory in the quarterfinals of<br />

the Central Mass. Division 2<br />

playoffs.<br />

In all, the Rockets hit four<br />

home runs and three triples.<br />

With hard gusts blowing out<br />

toward left-center field and a<br />

short right field fence, it perfectly<br />

suited the Rockets’ hitters.<br />

“This is the kind of place<br />

we like to hit,” said Auburn<br />

head coach Eric Swedberg. “A<br />

lot of our guys put the ball<br />

deep the other way, so it’s nice<br />

to see a shorter fence in right<br />

field.”<br />

After the first three Auburn<br />

batters struck out to begin the<br />

game, Auburn’s designated<br />

hitter, Jon Leroux, blasted off<br />

a home run to start the second<br />

inning. Leroux, normally<br />

the team’s catcher, had the<br />

day off from catching duties,<br />

and Kyle Beede stepped in<br />

behind the plate. Beede did<br />

not disappoint, hitting a deep<br />

triple that scored Brian<br />

Sullivan, who singled to get<br />

on base earlier in the inning.<br />

In the third inning, the hit<br />

parade continued. With one<br />

out, Jon Geeze roped a triple<br />

to get things going. After<br />

Evan Pluff popped out, Jon<br />

Leroux cranked a two-out,<br />

two-run home run to right<br />

field, his second of the day.<br />

“Everything seemed to<br />

click today. Everyone was getting<br />

good swings,” said<br />

Leroux.<br />

With the game well in hand,<br />

5-0, in the fifth inning, the<br />

Rockets added a few more<br />

insurance runs. In the fifth,<br />

Pluff belted the team’s third<br />

homer of the day, and one<br />

inning later, Beede hit a<br />

moonshot home run to leftcenter<br />

field that rolled toward<br />

the fence some 400 feet away<br />

from home plate. Beede<br />

chugged his way around the<br />

bases and beat the throw<br />

home for an inside-the-park<br />

home run.<br />

While the offensive show<br />

was impressive for Auburn,<br />

the pitching equally lived up<br />

to the task. Auburn’s starter,<br />

Tyler Beede, was terrific on<br />

the bump. The freshman had<br />

a no-hitter going into the fifth<br />

inning before Bay Path’s Tim<br />

<strong>Page</strong>au, who eventually came<br />

around to score the lone Bay<br />

Path run on a passed ball,<br />

broke it up. Tyler Beede<br />

would end up finishing the<br />

fifth before getting pulled<br />

early in hopes of resting him<br />

for a possible start again<br />

Wednesday. The Auburn<br />

right-hander ended with<br />

seven strikeouts, while only<br />

giving up one hit and one run.<br />

Jeff Croteau and Curtis<br />

LeBeau, who combined for<br />

two innings of shutout baseball,<br />

closed out the game.<br />

For Bay Path, the loss was a<br />

bitter end to what had been<br />

an otherwise terrific season.<br />

They conclude 2008 with an<br />

18-4 record, and entered the<br />

district playoffs with the<br />

highest ranking in school history.<br />

“This was a great season,”<br />

said Minutemen head coach<br />

Mark Sansoucy. “Auburn is a<br />

great team and their pitchers<br />

threw very well today.”<br />

When asked what made<br />

this team so special this season,<br />

Sansoucy said it was the<br />

team’s four seniors (Tim<br />

Brayton, <strong>Page</strong>au, Ryan<br />

Turner and Juan Maldanado)<br />

ability to lead the youngsters.<br />

“It was their personalities<br />

and the fact they led by example,”<br />

Sansoucy said about the<br />

seniors. “And they are allaround<br />

great kids.”<br />

Turner will be a significant<br />

loss. Sansoucy called the<br />

pitcher and shortstop the best<br />

player in the Colonial League.<br />

Turner started the game for<br />

the Minutemen, but was<br />

knocked out of the game<br />

because of an injury to his<br />

non-throwing hand in the<br />

third inning.<br />

However, players such as<br />

Spencer Donovan, Erik<br />

Peterson and Steve Renaud<br />

will return next season and<br />

be important pieces once<br />

again.<br />

With Auburn’s victory, the<br />

Rockets will meet Grafton at<br />

Bartlett High School on<br />

Wednesday. The first pitch is<br />

scheduled for 7 p.m.<br />

Auburn's speedster, Nick Natoli, slides safely into second after a stolen base.<br />

Shepherd Hill season ends with loss to Gardner<br />

BY JOHN RADZINSKI<br />

SPORTS STAFF WRITER<br />

DUDLEY — The Shepherd<br />

Hill Rams softball team gave a<br />

strong effort Monday, June 2,<br />

but come up just short<br />

against Gardner High and<br />

their ace pitcher, Elyssa<br />

Boris, 3-1, in the Central<br />

Mass. Division 1 playoff quarterfinals.<br />

Boris was the story for the<br />

Wildcats, as she posted 11<br />

strikeouts in a complete game<br />

gem, while only surrendering<br />

two hits all day.<br />

For Shepherd Hill, pitcher<br />

Meg Lennon was nearly as<br />

effective, also finishing the<br />

game and allowing only three<br />

runs. Lennon struck out<br />

three batters, while allowing<br />

six hits and no walks.<br />

Boris had a no-hitter going<br />

into the sixth inning, but<br />

Carolyn Hassett picked up the<br />

first base hit for the Rams on<br />

the day with a single that fell<br />

in into the outfield between<br />

the shortstop and centerfielder.<br />

Katie Joseph got the lone<br />

RBI for the Rams, hitting a<br />

seeing eye single through the<br />

middle of the infield, allowing<br />

Hassett to score. However,<br />

it was not enough as Gardner<br />

had already built up their<br />

three-run lead with two runs<br />

the inning prior, and their<br />

first run in the second inning.<br />

For the Rams, the season<br />

ends after a strong year once<br />

again. They end with a 17-3<br />

regular season record and<br />

entered the district playoffs<br />

with the third seed.<br />

Gardner will face Holy<br />

SPORTS<br />

Minutemen cruise to victory over Valley Tech<br />

BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL<br />

STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER<br />

CHARLTON — The Bay<br />

Path Minutemen baseball<br />

team easily crushed the<br />

Blackstone Valley Tech<br />

Beavers, 13-3, Thursday, May<br />

29, moving on to the next<br />

round of the Central Mass.<br />

Division 2 tournament.<br />

The No. 2-seeded<br />

Minutemen led their opponent,<br />

1-0, after an uneventful<br />

first couple of innings, in the<br />

game played at the Charlton<br />

trade school, before starting a<br />

long rally in the bottom of the<br />

third inning. Minuteman<br />

Spencer Donovan nailed a<br />

double up the middle, pushing<br />

home teammates Erik<br />

Peterson and Ryan Turner,<br />

both of who walked to base<br />

earlier in the inning. Bay Path<br />

led Blackstone Valley, 4-0, by<br />

the end of the inning.<br />

Next inning, however,<br />

Beaver Ryan Blake answered<br />

the Minutemen with a triple<br />

deep to center field. That<br />

drove his teammate, third<br />

baseman Aron Sweeper,<br />

across the plate for the team’s<br />

first run of the game. Beaver<br />

Sean O’Rourke struck out to<br />

end his team’s batting session.<br />

Minuteman Tim Brayton, in<br />

the bottom of the fourth, continued<br />

his team’s constant<br />

scoring streak by driving his<br />

teammate, Juan Moldonado,<br />

who hit a single just prior,<br />

home with a double deep to<br />

left field. Brayton, later in the<br />

inning, crossed the plate on a<br />

single from Turner.<br />

The Minutemen scored two<br />

more runs in the bottom of the<br />

fifth, after the Beavers failed<br />

to score in the top of the<br />

inning. Bay Path’s David<br />

Prince drove home Tim<br />

<strong>Page</strong>au, waiting on second<br />

base, and Renaud on third<br />

base, making the score 8-1.<br />

Moldonado batted Prince<br />

home, upping that tally one<br />

more run, before Brayton<br />

struck out to end the inning.<br />

Valley hitters failed to reach<br />

the bases during the top of the<br />

sixth inning before Bay Path<br />

ran the score up even more in<br />

the bottom of the inning. Once<br />

the Beavers tossed Peterson<br />

out after his leadoff single,<br />

Turner hit a single to begin<br />

the rally. Donovan smacked<br />

another single toward the<br />

Beavers, moving Turner to<br />

second base. The next batter,<br />

Renaud, hit another single to<br />

load the bases before <strong>Page</strong>au<br />

hit a double, driving two runs<br />

home. With the score 11-1 at<br />

that point, right fielder<br />

Brendan Wing, pinch hitting<br />

for Moldonado, blasted a triple<br />

to drive in two more runs.<br />

Brayton ended the inning with<br />

a flyball for the third out.<br />

In a valiant effort to come<br />

back from defeat in the top of<br />

the seventh inning, Valley<br />

Tech’s Ryan Blake doubled to<br />

right field before right-fielder<br />

Ryan Flaherty hit a single<br />

driving him home, for their<br />

second run of the game. The<br />

game’s second to last batter,<br />

Beaver Nate Cote, hit a triple,<br />

driving Flaherty home from<br />

third base to make the final<br />

score 13-3. Center fielder Zach<br />

Poisson hit a fly ball to center<br />

field for the game’s final out.<br />

Rams give their all, end up falling to Gardner<br />

SPORTS STAFF WRITER<br />

Eisenhauer. Center fielder John Hanna drew a<br />

DUDLEY — No. 7 ranked Shepherd Hill<br />

showed its perseverance Thursday, May 29 in<br />

walk to put Eisenhauer in scoring position for<br />

John Stearns, who delivered with a double of<br />

favor of the Rams.<br />

But in the end, Gardner was able to recapture<br />

the first round game of the Central Mass. his own. Then, Norcross stepped to the plate the lead and the game, adding five runs to win,<br />

District 1 playoffs against No. 10 Gardner.<br />

Down by seven runs, 8-1, in the second inning<br />

with their ace pitcher, Ben Stochaj, knocked<br />

out of the game, the Rams clawed their way<br />

back, but lost, 14-9.<br />

Gardner came out swinging a hot bat and<br />

unexpectedly got to Stochaj early on in the first<br />

two innings. The bulk of the damage was done<br />

by the Wildcats’ first five batters. In the first<br />

two innings, the five accounted for six runs on<br />

four hits, including a ground-rule double, a single<br />

by Shaan Slattery (three RBI), and a two-<br />

RBI triple by Eric O’Reilly.<br />

But the Rams on this day had the hearts of<br />

lions, and refused to quit.<br />

The player who got the Rams back in the<br />

game was arguably Ben Norcross. Norcross<br />

came in relief of Stochaj in the second inning,<br />

and the crafty lefty proved to be up to the task<br />

as he stopped the bleeding and kept his team in<br />

the game with his arm and his bat.<br />

Down 8-2 in the fourth inning, the Rams<br />

broke out of the spell Gardner pitcher Nate<br />

Harty had them in until that point. With the<br />

first man up, Eric Ray, out on a ground ball, second<br />

baseman Mike Gamache started the Rams’<br />

rally with a seemingly harmless single. Mike<br />

Legendre followed that with another single.<br />

The ninth batter in the lineup, right-fielder Jeff<br />

Eisenhauer, drilled the third single in a row,<br />

scoring Gamache. Leadoff hitter Zach Kielinen<br />

ended the single streak, but had a productive atbat,<br />

lofting a sacrifice fly ball that knocked in<br />

Legendre.<br />

With two outs in the inning, the Wildcats simply<br />

could not get one last out as they watched<br />

with two men in scoring position to help his<br />

own cause. Norcross did not disappoint. On an<br />

0-2 count, Norcross slugged a two-RBI double<br />

that tied the game, 8-8.<br />

After the dust settled in the fourth inning,<br />

the Rams collected six runs on six hits. Two<br />

innings later, in the sixth, John Hanna hit a<br />

monster blast that most likely would have<br />

ended in a home run at many fields, but was<br />

called a ground-rule double as it drifted into the<br />

forest behind the Rams’ outfield. Once again,<br />

14-9.<br />

For Shepherd Hill, the season ends with a 13-<br />

8 record, but it was not indicative of how well<br />

the Rams played throughout the year. The Hill<br />

had a 12-0 record against SWCL-West opponents<br />

and showed Thursday, May 29 the kind of<br />

spirit the team possesses, coming back and<br />

even taking the lead after being down by seven<br />

runs. The Rams look forward to returning a<br />

stronger team next year with many players<br />

returning.<br />

their lead dissipate. Catcher Matt Howard Rams catcher Matt Howard is called safe at home in the first inning against Gardner.<br />

GRADUATION<br />

2008<br />

BAY PATH REGIONAL VOCATIONAL<br />

Hope and memories mark Bay Path graduation<br />

BY GUS STEEVES<br />

NEWS STAFF WRITER<br />

WORCESTER — Clad in<br />

their school colors of purple<br />

and white, 193 young men and<br />

women got their chance to be<br />

royalty for the evening at<br />

DCU Center Friday as Bay<br />

Path Regional Vocational<br />

High School graduated its<br />

Class of 2008.<br />

Within the day’s honors<br />

were some bittersweet memories<br />

of two classmates who<br />

didn’t make it — Amanda<br />

Martin and Jeffrey O’Brien.<br />

The two received their diplomas<br />

posthumously, with their<br />

parents collecting the documents<br />

to widespread<br />

applause.<br />

Although she didn’t specifically<br />

mention them, it was<br />

clear they were what Class<br />

President Jamie Cloutier was<br />

referring to when she said<br />

this class “came together in a<br />

way some classes never do,”<br />

to develop a bond and “a new<br />

respect for life” from the<br />

class’s losses.<br />

Their memory lived in<br />

Salutatorian Oceana<br />

Montalvo’s reminder that<br />

“every moment we spend<br />

should be lived to the fullest”<br />

and in Pupil Personnel<br />

Services Director Tim<br />

Gilrein’s reminiscences of<br />

his time with the students.<br />

“I have fought with them. I<br />

have cried with them. I have<br />

supported them,” he said,<br />

adding the students have<br />

become “resourceful” and<br />

“learned they have integrity.”<br />

For Superintendent David<br />

Papagni, the path this year’s<br />

graduates will take depends<br />

on their choices, but he summarized<br />

it using a book from<br />

their earliest pre-school days<br />

— the Dr. Seuss classic, “Oh,<br />

the Places You’ll Go.”<br />

Reading a fairly lengthy<br />

section of that tale, he praised<br />

them as being, “‘Too smart to<br />

go down any not-so-good<br />

streets,’” and reminded them<br />

they now have “the educational<br />

tools necessary to fulfill<br />

your dreams … [and] the<br />

skills to be successful.”<br />

“There are no goals that are<br />

not achievable,” Papagni<br />

said. “ … I want to challenge<br />

you to use these talents not<br />

only to provide for yourselves,<br />

but to provide for others.”<br />

Noting the students now<br />

have the chance to “build<br />

upon your years at Bay Path<br />

to become responsible members<br />

of American society,”<br />

School Committee Chairman<br />

Ben LaMountain reminded<br />

them they all will see “great<br />

successes and disappointing<br />

failures” during life. How<br />

they embrace those successes<br />

and learn from the failures<br />

will determine where their<br />

life goes, he said.<br />

With graduation, Cloutier<br />

said, “the old finish line ends<br />

and the new start line begins.<br />

… You always have a choice<br />

and the choice can be power.”<br />

To Valedictorian Amy<br />

Haley, that path of choice<br />

started even before coming to<br />

Bay Path. She recalled being<br />

the only member of her<br />

eighth-grade geometry class<br />

who stayed until the end of<br />

her school’s presentation on<br />

Bay Path. Despite knowing it<br />

was where she wanted to go,<br />

she said she listened to<br />

friends and peers telling her<br />

she was “too smart” for the<br />

school and went to Wachusett<br />

Regional High School.<br />

“From the first day I<br />

walked through Wachusett’s<br />

doors, I knew it was the<br />

wrong choice for me,” and<br />

applied to Bay Path, Haley<br />

said.<br />

Haley was one of the 110<br />

students who received awards<br />

the previous night, and<br />

Gilrein noted the students<br />

collectively received “hundreds<br />

of thousands of dollars<br />

in scholarships.” Although<br />

all of the seniors passed their<br />

MCAS, he said 44 percent are<br />

college-bound, while 52 percent<br />

are headed into the work<br />

world straight from high<br />

school.<br />

GRADUATION<br />

2008<br />

SHEPHERD HILL<br />

Students on the Hill go their separate ways<br />

BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL<br />

STAFF WRITER<br />

WORCESTER — Don’t be<br />

scared by daunting situations,<br />

just soldier on.<br />

Shepherd Hill Regional<br />

High School Senior Class<br />

President James Scanlon<br />

shared that message with the<br />

graduating class of 2008, all<br />

Proud seniors await their diplomas at Sunday’s graduation.<br />

285 of them, during commencement<br />

exercises Sunday<br />

from what was called “one of<br />

the finest high schools in<br />

Massachusetts.”<br />

For the first time in its 35-<br />

year history, the school’s<br />

graduation ceremony was<br />

held at the DCU Center.<br />

“Congratulations Class of<br />

2008,” Dudley-Charlton<br />

Regional School District<br />

Superintendent Sean Gilrein<br />

said. “May the wishes you<br />

wish all come true.”<br />

Eager family and friends<br />

gathered in the ceremony hall<br />

to watch the students take<br />

one more step on their path to<br />

a greater future. During a<br />

series of speeches, several<br />

speakers gave advice to the<br />

graduating class.<br />

“There will be times in the<br />

road ahead that will seem<br />

daunting,” said Senior class<br />

President James Scanlon. “As<br />

doors open, it’s our decision<br />

to walk through.”<br />

With many of the students<br />

preparing for their freshman<br />

years at college next year,<br />

Dudley-Charlton Regional<br />

School District Committee<br />

Chairman Geraldine Nowicki<br />

set a high bar for them.<br />

“You should have high<br />

expectations for your future,”<br />

she said. “It is now up to you<br />

as to what you’re going to<br />

build. Make it yours. Don’t<br />

look for the easy way out.”<br />

Before the speeches, the<br />

graduates — men draped in<br />

maroon gowns and women in<br />

gold — strode onto the stage<br />

as parents eagerly jockeyed<br />

for good from which to snap<br />

photos.<br />

Students and school officials<br />

then exchanged two<br />

types of gifts — scholarships<br />

and keepsakes. Principal<br />

Timothy Schur and Director<br />

of Student Resources<br />

Suzanne Cabral were joined<br />

by others in presenting<br />

$93,8000 worth of various<br />

scholarships to some of the<br />

fresh graduates. Immediately<br />

afterward, Class of 2008<br />

Treasurer Samantha Ide presented<br />

the school with three<br />

new banners bearing the<br />

school’s name as well as<br />

money for new audio and<br />

video equipment.<br />

The gifts capped off a banner<br />

year for a class that has<br />

achieved so much in just nine<br />

months. Students in the graduating<br />

class organized a project<br />

to assist Darfur, a wartorn<br />

region of Sudan. As part<br />

of the project, the class met<br />

former Sudan child slave<br />

Francis Bok, who lectured<br />

students on his experiences.<br />

They also organized the<br />

Dodgeball For Darfur<br />

fundraiser to raise money for<br />

the cause.<br />

Earlier this year, they hosted<br />

the Meet The Candidates<br />

Night, during which candidates<br />

for various town posts<br />

spelled out their platforms.<br />

That’s just a small sampling<br />

of the many things they<br />

have learned this year, and<br />

Scanlon hopes they will carry<br />

forward.<br />

“We’ve come a long ways<br />

since freshman year,”<br />

Scanlon said. “It’s time for us<br />

to go our separate ways.”<br />

Nowicki’s advice for the<br />

departing students served as<br />

primer for the rest of the students’<br />

lives.<br />

“Don’t look for the easy way<br />

out,” she said. “Never doubt<br />

your ability to get where<br />

you’re going.”<br />

Graduates, Schur told<br />

them, must remember who<br />

started them down that path.<br />

“Don’t forget to thank your<br />

parents for everything,” he<br />

said.<br />

GRADUATION<br />

2008<br />

TANTASQUA REGIONAL<br />

Grads discover ‘what lies within’<br />

SCHOOL GRADUATES 297<br />

BY GUS STEEVES<br />

NEWS STAFF WRITER<br />

STURBRIDGE — Although they<br />

STURBRIDGE — Lawrence Moreno, ponders as he sits in his assigned seat and awaits<br />

his diploma.<br />

lived at least a century apart, the<br />

Dalai Lama and Ralph Waldo<br />

Emerson shared the stage as inspiration<br />

for Tantasqua Regional High<br />

School’s 2008 graduation.<br />

The school sent 297 seniors into<br />

the adult world Sunday as a few<br />

thousand friends and family members<br />

crowded the gymnasium to<br />

cheer them.<br />

Emerson’s famous line, “What lies<br />

behind us and what lies before us<br />

are tiny matters compared to what<br />

lies within us” popped up repeatedly<br />

in student speeches as the day’s<br />

overall theme, linked to everything<br />

from tennis to morality.<br />

The former came from class<br />

President Jillian Fasser, who said<br />

she was thinking about the quote<br />

when she tapped her forehead and<br />

realized it still hurt from whacking<br />

herself in the head with a tennis<br />

racket. The incident occurred during<br />

a match against Leicester, a<br />

team Tantasqua lost to last year, so<br />

she said she went into it “silently<br />

chanting my mantra ‘This time will<br />

be different.’”<br />

It almost wasn’t — in her first set,<br />

she recalled, she hit herself hard<br />

and lost, but thought the growing<br />

bruise “should be a source of motivation”<br />

and came back to win the<br />

match.<br />

“Don’t let past worries or memories<br />

prevent you from looking to the<br />

future,” Fasser urged her peers.<br />

To Sean Heningham, Emerson’s<br />

line essentially means, “what matters<br />

now is only you and your character.”<br />

“Great things do not equate to lots<br />

of money or nice cars,” he said, but<br />

to behaving morally and remembering<br />

that they’ve already learned<br />

such simple things as compassion,<br />

not to cheat and shake hands after<br />

losing.<br />

Those ideas tied well into<br />

Superintendent Daniel Durgin’s<br />

invocation of the Dalai Lama.<br />

Quoting a lengthy part of a speech<br />

by the Tibetan leader, Durgin<br />

reminded the graduates, “ ‘As<br />

humans are social beings, we come<br />

into the world dependent on the<br />

actions of others.’” Starting with<br />

the basic mechanism of birth and<br />

lasting throughout life, he noted,<br />

“Most of our happiness is … due to<br />

the action of others.”<br />

Durgin said this class had a particularly<br />

personal meaning for him,<br />

because he started working in the<br />

district (although not his current<br />

job) 13 years ago, the same time<br />

these students did. Beyond that, he<br />

noted his daughter, Kaitlin, graduated<br />

Sunday.<br />

Follow your passion and find what<br />

makes you happy in life, then pursue<br />

it,” Durgin said. Referring to his<br />

own mother and mother-in-law as<br />

examples because they followed<br />

their dreams after taking years off<br />

to raise children, he added, “It’s<br />

never too late to do what will make<br />

you happy.”<br />

“‘Success is not the key to happiness.<br />

Happiness is the key to success,’”<br />

Durgin noted, citing Dr.<br />

Albert Schweizer.<br />

For School Committee Chairman<br />

Kathleen Neal, whose son, Connor,<br />

— co-author of the Town Meeting<br />

bag ban article — was also in the<br />

class, the year was both personal<br />

and mundane.<br />

“You also seem to have a strange<br />

affinity for plastic,” Neal said,<br />

sparking applause, “whether it’s<br />

plastic bags or tossing plastic ducks<br />

into the school pond.”<br />

The ducks themselves were in surprisingly<br />

sparse numbers — a balloon,<br />

a stuffed duck, and a handful of<br />

duck decorations inside parked cars<br />

being the only reminders of the<br />

recent senior prank that fell apart.<br />

To Neal, the more important element<br />

of the day was the mixture of<br />

parental pride and tears at seeing<br />

children growing up and moving on.<br />

A key part of the latter, she noted, is<br />

doing things that challenge expectations.<br />

“‘Some men see what’s there and<br />

say ‘Why?’” she said, quoting from<br />

Robert Kennedy’s favorite observation<br />

of Irish playwright George<br />

Bernard Shaw. “‘I do things that<br />

never were and say, ‘Why not?’”<br />

The Hot Spot<br />

ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT<br />

Tongue & Groove a perfect R&R fit<br />

Tongue & Groove isa<br />

recently formed, fivepiece<br />

act that performs<br />

R&B, Classic Rock, and<br />

some more recent hits as<br />

well.<br />

Recently, the band's<br />

lead singer/front man,<br />

Jay De Feudis gave me the<br />

inside scoop on this hot<br />

new group.<br />

“Cam Ventura is the<br />

band's Guitar Hero,” said De Feudis. “He can<br />

play anything, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani<br />

or Stevey Ray Vaughn, note for note.”<br />

The band's bassist, Myles St. Jean is great<br />

with nailing the tricky bass parts to many 80s<br />

covers.<br />

“He also comes in handy when on funky<br />

songs like Brick House,” said De Feudis.<br />

Keyboard player Dennis Renaud is the<br />

Casanova of the group.<br />

Said De Feudis: “Whenever he plays a ballad<br />

on the piano, the girls always melt.”<br />

And last but not least Jimmy Monstream,<br />

who plays at every gig like it is in a stadium.<br />

“He is one the most talented and flamboyant<br />

drummers I have ever had the pleasure of<br />

working with,” De Feudis said. “It’s truly a<br />

treat to watch this guy play.”<br />

Less than a year ago De Feudis was invited<br />

to listen to these guys rehearse for the first<br />

time and was really impressed.<br />

“The band cranked through a half a dozen<br />

well known classic rock songs and played<br />

them to near perfection,” he said. “I just listened<br />

to every member of the band ‘nail’ their<br />

parts, vocals too.”<br />

Ventura then told De Feudis he was interested<br />

in adding a great lead singer to give the<br />

band more of a distinctive sound that showcase<br />

everyone’s strengths.<br />

“I guess I’ve been unofficially dubbed the<br />

master of ceremonies,” De Feudis said with a<br />

laugh. “It’s my job to bring out the party in<br />

people.”<br />

So Tongue & Groove approaches every gig,<br />

big or small, like it’s truly an event.<br />

“We want every person to go home feeling<br />

like they just witnessed the best local concert<br />

they had ever seen,” said De Feudis<br />

Don't miss the Tongue & Groove show on<br />

Friday, June 6 at The Lucky Dog in Worcester.<br />

Visit www.tonguegroove.net for more info.<br />

O’SHEA<br />

Sean & Laurie O'Shea are delighted to offer<br />

an encore performance of their “Coffeehouse<br />

Concert” on Friday, June 6 at 7:30 p.m. (sharp)<br />

at 21 Cedar St. in Worcester. Scheduled special<br />

musical guests include Bill Doyle, Shannon<br />

O’Shea and Jason Bleau. This is an intimate,<br />

“café-style” listening environment, modeled<br />

after the famous songwriter “rounds” of<br />

Nashville. It's also a free concert and is offered<br />

to bring awareness to one of our favorite charities<br />

— Children’s Friend.<br />

while (I was playing it in<br />

between sets at my own gig last<br />

night), and now he's got a new<br />

record on the way. Don't miss<br />

Check Out the Infiniti EX35 for Its Whiz Bang<br />

Technology; Buy It for Its Powertrain<br />

BY KEITH GRIFFIN<br />

There’s a trend afoot to make crossover utility<br />

vehicles that look like beefed up sedans or coupes.<br />

BMW has absolutely failed at it with the new<br />

BMW X6, while Infiniti has at least made a good<br />

effort with its all-new EX35.<br />

What’s going to have people buzzing, though, is<br />

not this vehicle’s design. It’s two pieces of technology:<br />

around view monitor and the lane departure<br />

prevention system. The around view monitor<br />

uses small front, side and rear-mounted cameras<br />

to project an all-around view of potential objects<br />

on every side of the vehicle – helping reduce blind<br />

spots when parking. As the picture with this article<br />

shows, it’s a real bird’s-eye view of the vehicle.<br />

There’s one inherent problem. The camera shuts<br />

off when you put the transmission in drive. You<br />

get this wonderful assist in reverse that disappears<br />

in drive. Infiniti needs to enable the system to<br />

work in drive up to 5 mph. It will make parking<br />

infinitely easier and quicker.<br />

The lane departure prevention and lane departure<br />

warning systems use a small camera installed<br />

behind the windshield to detect visible lane markers<br />

in front of the vehicle and calculate its position<br />

relative to lane markers and warn the driver<br />

of lane drift (pending lane change without use of<br />

the turn signal) with a visual display and audible<br />

buzzer.<br />

The lane departure prevention system uses the<br />

vehicle dynamic control system. If it detects the<br />

EX35 is leaving its lane (without the signals being<br />

deployed), it will apply the brakes and try to<br />

nudge you back into your assumed lane. I like the<br />

idea because it might encourage more drivers to<br />

use their turn signals!<br />

The lane departure prevention system works with<br />

the lane departure warning system. The latter is a<br />

true nanny that reminds you with a beep every<br />

time the wheels stray. In five days behind the<br />

wheel I discovered I tend to drift left a lot. The<br />

system can be shut off if it starts to annoy you.<br />

One caveat: the lane departure prevention and<br />

around view monitor are first-generation technology.<br />

Problems with both can be expected as the<br />

bugs are tweaked. Just keep in touch with your<br />

Infiniti director at the first signs of problems.<br />

The Infiniti EX35 has another feature not seen on<br />

any other vehicle: Scratch Shield. (It’s one feature<br />

I took Infiniti’s word at.) It’s a “self-healing” clear<br />

coat paint that fixes fine scratches. For example,<br />

Infiniti says it can repair fingernail scratches<br />

under door handles. According to Infiniti, “The<br />

process, which takes anywhere from one day to<br />

one week (depending on the surrounding temperature<br />

and the depth of the scratch), is accomplished<br />

through the use of a special highly elastic<br />

resin. This resin is combined with a conventional<br />

clear coat to increase the paint’s flexibility and<br />

strength by raising the resin density.”<br />

This review reminds me of one written about the<br />

Acura TL by a stereo magazine. The writer raved<br />

about the TL’s sound system (a truly divine piece<br />

of equipment) for multiple pages. At the end he<br />

said, “And the TL’s a pretty good car, too.”<br />

The most interesting piece of technology on the FX35 is its around view monitor. It works great in<br />

reverse, but needs to work in drive, too.<br />

The Infiniti EX35 is part of a new trend of crossover utility vehicles designed to look like beefed-up sedans.<br />

Lest I forget to mention it, the EX35 is a pretty<br />

good car. It has a couple of flaws worth noting.<br />

People over 6’1” might find it uncomfortable<br />

because there is no headroom when the optional<br />

power moon roof is installed as part of the journey<br />

trim level.<br />

The more serious flaw is the abhorrent blind spot<br />

created by the thick B pillar. Even with the mirrors<br />

properly adjusted (go to CarTalk.com to<br />

learn how), I was always double and triple checking<br />

before changing lanes.<br />

Every 2008 Infiniti EX35 comes standard with a<br />

fourth-generation 3.5-liter V6 engine rated at 297<br />

horsepower and 253 lb. ft. of torque. It is mated<br />

to a 5-speed automatic transmission with manual<br />

mode, DS sport mode with downshift rev matching<br />

and adaptive shift control. This is a good<br />

engine that has been proven time and time again<br />

in a lot of different vehicles.<br />

The EPA numbers for the Infiniti EX35 are nothing<br />

to write home about (or should I be hip and<br />

say nothing to instant message home about?) The<br />

AWD version, that Infiniti loaned to me, gets 15<br />

mpg city and 20 mpg highway. The city numbers<br />

are the same on the RWD version, but highway<br />

mileage improves to 22 mpg. Premium fuel is recommended.<br />

Fuel economy could be improved with a swap to<br />

a six-speed automatic transmission. Nissan<br />

(Infiniti’s parent company) has been lagging in<br />

that department. Expect it within the next couple<br />

of years across the line as it tries to keep up with<br />

the competition.<br />

Pricing starts at $31,300. To get all the bells and<br />

whistles, it’s necessary to move up to the Journey<br />

package. With all-wheel drive, the final price<br />

could be as high as $36,250.<br />
