COVER PHOTO BYEARLE S DIAS PHOTOGRAPHY

Voters Approve Most of the Articles at Town Meeting

Voters approved all but one of the articles on the warrant at the Special Town Meeting on october 28. The turnout was extremely low, reportedly with less than 80 people in attendance. Several expenditures were approved, including $25,000 for town counsel to fund the RePAC litigation and ap-proximately $48,500 to cover the increased cost of insurance premiums. other expen-ditures approved include $27, 420 for a new vehicle for the building inspector and $10,000 for ten tasers for the Police depart-ment. A request for $13,000 for a radio system upgrade at the Police department was tabled. Voters also approved $1,200 to install heat sensors at the fire stations, the Rehoboth Senior Center and Town Hall. A bylaw preventing people who are behind on taxes from receiving permits and licenses from the town also passed. A proposed bylaw amendment to set a speed limit of five miles per hour for motorized watercraft and other recreational equipment on the Palmer River was postponed.

New Group Being Formed to Support Animal Shelter

A new group is being created, friends of the Rehoboth Animal Shelter, and volun-teers are being sought to join the group. The friends group would be non-profit and independent from town government. Its focus would be to raise funds for the animal shelter. A recent inspection of the shelter by the state department of Animal Health reportedly found problems with air quality and overcrowding. Anyone interested in volunteering can call 774-991-0032 to sign up.

Selectmen Increase Business License Fees

Selectmen increased several fees for various business licenses last month. The fee for Class 1, 2 and 3 motor vehicle licenses were increased $50, from $75 to $125. Licenses for retail package goods stores increased $250, from $500 to $750 and liquor license transfers will now cost $75, an increase of $25 from the current fee. Selectmen reportedly said the increases were an effort to stay competitive with fees in surrounding towns.

D-R School Committee Looking at Designs for High School Athletic Field

Last month the dighton-Rehoboth Regional School Committee looked at designs for the entire athletic complex at the high school, including the soccer fields. The soccer field project, approved about four years ago, has been plagued by numerous delays and has cost the district more than $150,000. The d-R soccer team has not played at the home field for many years. After reviewing two proposed designs from Gardner and Gerrish Land-scape Architects, the committee requested that a third plan be developed. The committee agreed to spend up to $1,900 for the additional design, as long as an appropriate funding source was found in the budget. The Athletic fields Task force recommended that the new design have fewer fields and that one of them be a synthetic field, which would allow for multiple sports to be played on it. The school committee has not discussed costs for the project yet, but they intend to fundraise to cover part of the cost.

Seekonk Call Fire Dept. In Questionduring executive session after the regular meeting of the Seekonk Board of Selectmen

on Wednesday february 29, 2012 the members of the Board, by what I was told was a vote of 3 to 2, voted to abolish the Seekonk Call fire dept. The vote was taken in violation of Article 6 Section 3 of the Seekonk Home Rule Charter. The members of the Seekonk Call fire fighters Association (SCffA) voted at a special meeting that was held to take the Town of Seekonk to court because of this action. The Town of Seekonk filed a counterclaim asking that all charges be dismissed.

on May 23, 2013 a hearing was held at the Superior Court in New Bedford MA. on July 1, 2013 the Superior Court Justice, who heard from both sides in this case, ruled that the action taken by the Board of Selectmen to abolish the Seekonk Call fire dept. was illegal and denied the town’s motion to dismiss. At the time I am writing this (September 11, 2013), on town counsels advice, they (the town) are asking for “clarification” on the ruling.

There are certain individuals in the town who feel that the call firefighters are not needed such as the fire Chief who has stated, in part, in an email sent to the Town Administrator on January 25, 2012 that call training “Imposes a burden on our department” and went on to state that the call firefighters served “no true usefulness” to the taxpayers. Why is that after many, many, many years of having a call dept.? Could it be because the call dept. was being underutilized or NoT being used at all? one example would be that when we had the heavy rains and floods back in March of 2010 the call dept. was NEVER called back to help with pumping and so forth even though there were members who were being paid to standby at home from 6 P.M. to 6 A.M. the next morning in case they were needed as per their contract.

At the Board of Selectmen’s meeting on July 24, 2013 a new career firefighter was sworn in and it was stated, by the fire Chief, that he was a call firefighter in foxboro, MA. during the Board of Selectmen’s meeting on September 4, 2013 two (2) more career firefighters were sworn in. It was stated, again by the fire Chief, that

one (1) was a call firefighter from Rehoboth MA. and the other worked for a private ambulance service as well as working for the Swansea Ambulance Corp’s.

Maybe it is time for the citizens, and taxpayers, of Seekonk to take a good hard look at what exactly is going on with the fire ser-vice in the town. on one hand the fire Chief basically say’s that the call dept. serves no useful purpose, but yet he is bringing forward and recommending call firefighters from other communities to be hired as career firefighters in Seekonk. I realize they have to take several tests and so forth to get to that point but if we had our call dept. back we could very possibly promote from within, as well as having the manpower to assist the career firefighters with just about any type of coverage they may need as was done for many, many, many years in the past. We would, hopefully, not be as dependent on Mutual Aid as we are now and we would not need to rely on people who can live as far as 15 miles away (which is allowed by the career contract) when there is a major incident in town and they have a recall of personnel.

To those people that say, and believe, that call and volunteer fire dept’s. do not work all I have to say is “Look at Rehoboth, Swansea, and dartmouth MA. and Bristol and Warren R.I. just to name a few communities in this area and see what type of fire coverage they have.

Political Instability Continues atSeekonk Town Hall

Let’s start off with some positive remarks. Congratulations to Mike Amaral and Cliff Harris on their recent retirement from the Seekonk department of Public Works. Both served us for ap-proximately forty (40) years each. Thank you! finance director Bruce Alexander was recently selected to serve as Acting Town Administrator. He is a worthy interim who has excellent judgment.

Perhaps we we consider looking within our own community for the next permanent Town Administrator. Mitchell Vieira comes to mind. He is a trustworthy, well qualified resident who has instant credibility. He has served as a member of the Seekonk Capitol Improvement and Charter Review Committees, past chairman and current member of the Seekonk School Committee, and Channel 9 Cable Advisory Board. He also has a Bachelor of Arts and Masters in Public Administration from Suffolk University.

I’ve had no discussion or conversation with him concerning this idea but want the citizens to know such a well qualified individual is available without another costly and time intensive search process. Mr. Vieira may not even want the position considering the Board of Selectmen’s constant micromanagement and interfence.

Seekonk has had EIGHT (8) Town Administrators since 2002. Time to try something new, someone local maybe?

The Attleboro Sun Chronicle october 2nd 2013 edition printed “Meeting Bickering Probed” is another embarrassment for Seekonk.

Joseph Siegel reports that Selectmen dave Parker filed a Police report stating he was allegedly threatened by another Selectman during an executive session meeting.

We expect disputes and disagreements in politics.Was it really necessary to take this petty argument to the next

level and get the Police involved?Haven’t we been subjected to enough negative publicity about

our dysfunctional local government?Couldn’t cooler heads prevailed and other members of the

Board of Selectmen intervened to calm the situation down?No charges were filed and the investigation remains open which

means it’s probably not worth effort. Please grow up and behave like rational adults.

Another sad tale involving Selectmen Nelson Almedia concerns the tragic circumstances of Building Inspector Mary McNeil’s abrupt resignation. It appears Selectmen Almedia harassed her to the point where she just quit rather than endure his nonsense. He constantly emailed demanding immediate responses on potential sign bylaw violations and pressured her to work weekends.

Mary McNeil is a knowledgeable, educated professional who held everyone to the letter of the law regardless of who you were.

Good luck finding a replacement with the same skill set she possessed!

Naturally she found immediate employment in another Town.

An Open Letter to the Residents of Seekonk

The warrant for the November 18th Town Meeting contains three articles that can dra-matically affect the present and future opera-tions of the Seekonk Public Library. As your elected Board of Library Trustees, we believe it is important to inform town residents about these articles and our position on them.

Article 12 is to transfer control of the library building, including access and use, and the adjacent Seekonk Meadows, from the Library Trustees to the Board of Select-men. The transfer of the land and buildings was approved by Town Meeting vote in 2010, and this article seeks to reverse that decision. The Board strongly opposes such a move for the following reasons:

our loss is another’s gain. Who is next to leave?

Selectmen Parker is quoted in the Sep-tember 6th 2013 Sun Chronicle Newspaper story” Seekonk officials: We’ll quit Meddling” as saying “We (BoS) going after depart-ments. in some cases it’s NoT going to stop.” This self destructive mismanagement is completely inappropriate and harms effective government operations. Hope none of you need a building permit or inspection soon.

We have excellent Town employees- GET oUT of THEIR WAY ANd LET THEM do THEIR JoBS. Voters need to elect new faces at the next election in April 2014!

Elderly And Disabled Taxation Aid Fund

CommitteeThe holiday season is traditionally a time

for giving. This year, as you review all of the many requests that you receive, we hope that you will consider giving a gift that will make a difference to some elderly and/or disabled Seekonk homeowners.

We are asking for your support, as the needy must rely on the kindness of others. The Taxation Aid fund is funded solely by donations. No gift is too small. Your donation will help reduce the real estate taxes of those applicants who meet all of the qualifications for aid.

We hope that you will make a gift, per-haps as a donation sent in memory of a deceased family member or friend.

Please make your federal tax deductible donation check to:

Seekonk Memorial Park LocationIn Question

In March of 2013, the Committee appointed by the Board of Selectmen lead by Chairman donald Kinniburgh, Vice Chairman Steven Arruda and Treasurer david Viera began to plan and build a Veteran’s Memorial Park and so began the arduous task of finding a home, finding a designer and finding a way to build a permanent respectful memorial.

They have collectively worked hard to make this project happen. from the start ideas were tossed about as to what to build, how to build it and where to build it. Most importantly they thought hard about cost. How will the funding be raised?

The Committee came together in agreement that whatever is built it must represent each Branch of the Armed Services. It must be a permanent structure. It must be respectful and it must make the citizens of Seekonk proud and it must include acknowledge-ment of every conflict this country has faced.

A Master Mason was brought onboard. Mr. Vidal deMedeiros is a craftsman who has done monument work in our nation’s capital. Materials and estimated cost discussions followed. Next was the thought of design. Mr. Mark drapeau of North Smithfield, RI and formerly a Seekonk resident and fireman with family ties deep in the community was the next to join the group as Advisor. Mr. drapeau was given an idea concept submitted by Mr. Robert de fontes and he put together a professional rendering of what the Committee was looking for. Mr. drapeau also has experience in military monument design.

Both Mr. deMedeiros and Mr. drapeau had volunteered their time and continue to serve the Committee as Mr. deMedeiros is now a Member and Mr. drapeau has stood by them because he wants to see the project through to the end.

Every member of the Committee has either served or has had family members serve our country. It is interesting to hear the various stories. It makes me wonder, where were these guys when I had US History in school? The insight and knowledge of each member is amazing.

The work continues however. Location is at the heart of the project. A Memorial should be something the Community can enjoy and be proud of. A place to remember those who fought and those we love and lost. A place that can be seen, have reverence, respect and dignity.

The Committee feels that they have found such a place. While their task is taking them to Town Meeting on November 18, 2013 at the Seekonk High School at 7:00pm, they will not give up. The determination of this Committee which also includes Mr. Jim Rob-bins, and Mr. Sean Healey will not waiver. As you attend Town Meeting please listen with an open heart. The Committee is not asking you for money. They are simply asking you for a home. A small home by comparison to some.

After months of meetings and discussions and delays this Com-mittee will not give up. In their hearts they believe in community, the preservation of honor, bravery and history. History they hope will not be repeated over and over. Let peace prevail. See you at Town Meeting.

Thank you, Doreen Taylor

Pilgrims’ Progress:Plymouth Colony after 1621

by Leslie PattersonWe naturally think of the pilgrims at Thanksgiving, but have you

ever wondered about those who came to Plymouth Colony after the Mayflower? When you visit Plimoth Plantation, you will see that the year is supposed to be 1627, seven years after the Mayflower reached our shores. Quite a few new immigrants came to America from England in that decade, but we mostly hear only about the ones on the Mayflower.

You can learn a lot about the pilgrims at Plimoth Plantation and by boarding Mayflower II, but there are other historic sites in Plymouth, not as well known, where you can also find out more about the first English settlers in Massachusetts.

one of these sites is Pilgrim Hall Museum at 75 Court St. in Plymouth, the oldest museum in continuous operation in America (since 1824). But Pilgrim Hall Museum is not some dry and dusty place; it even underwent a major renovation in 2008. While it does not have interpreters in colonial dress, it does have interesting exhibits, including many objects that actually did come over on the Mayflower, and lively videos explaining that time period. It is open throughout the year (even on Thanksgiving day) except January. Its library is a great resource to historians too.

Plymouth is a very enjoyable day trip over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. It’s fun to walk around the town and see all the local historical sites. It’s also fun to watch people’s reactions to Plymouth Rock if they haven’t seen it before and are expecting something more grandiose. This can usually be summed up as, “That’s it?” A short walk will bring you to the statue of Massasoit and a monument marking the pilgrims’ first burial ground.

You can walk up Burial Hill to the cemetery where some of the pilgrims are buried, passing by first Parish Church on your way. If you enjoy seeking out ancient gravestones for their carvings and epitaphs, this is the place for it. The hill also gives you a great view of the waterfront and Plymouth harbor.

The Fortune But to return to the question of who followed those on the

Mayflower, an English ship called the fortune landed in Plymouth not long after the first Thanksgiving in 1621. Perhaps its owners, the Merchant Adventurers in London, chose a name that tempted fate because the fortune had more bad fortune than good. It reached Cape Cod on Nov. 9, 1621, and got to Plymouth in late November.

The ship only stayed in the colony until december and then headed back to England loaded with furs and other valuable goods. on the way back, due to poor navigation, the fortune mistakenly reached the coast of france, not England, and the ship was seized by a french warship that confiscated its goods. The fortune finally got back to England in february, but the original investors lost everything they had staked on the voyage to America.

When the fortune docked in Plymouth, its passengers included mostly young men. Many of them were “Strangers”, that is, they were not Puritans and did not come for religious reasons. Like the people that came before them on the Mayflower, they were dismayed at the bleak and barren landscape of the Massachusetts coast in November.

of the many Mayflower passengers who died the previous awful winter, a great number were women. When the fortune ar-rived, the colony’s population grew to 66 men with just 16 women. Governor Bradford had to assign the fortune’s passengers to the seven little houses and four public buildings, which became more like men’s dormitories for the new arrivals.

food was a big problem too. There was scarcely enough to go around to begin with and the passengers on the fortune came pretty much without provisions. Bradford wrote, “They were pres-ently put to half allowance, one as well as an other, which begane to be hard, but they bore it patiently, under hope of (future) supply.” Somehow they persevered.

other new colonists reached Plymouth in the summer of 1623 aboard the ships Ann and Little James. Some of these new settlers were the wives and children that had been left behind in Holland when the Mayflower departed in 1620.

Another Mayflower Another ship also named the Mayflower arrived in August 1629

with 35 additional members of the Leiden congregation from Hol-land. Ships continued to arrive carrying new settlers; contemporary documents claimed that by January 1630 the colony had almost 300 people. It is estimated that by the time the Plymouth Colony was dissolved in the 1690’s, its population was around 3,000. That’s a lot of growth in 70 years.

New towns were soon formed within Plymouth Colony. dux-bury and Marshfield to the north, Taunton to the west, Sandwich and Barnstable on Cape Cod -- all were founded in the 1620s and 1630s. Rehoboth and Bridgewater were founded in the 1640s.

In the 1630s, several thousand Puritans left for Massachusetts Bay Colony north of Plymouth. Providence Plantations was founded in Rhode Island in 1636. The Connecticut colonies were founded soon after, but immigration slowed greatly in the 1640’s as the Puritans were winning the English Civil War at home.

After King Philip’s War, and starting in 1685, colonial govern-ments were restructured and charters were revoked. Plymouth Colony became part of the United Colonies of New England. As of 1692, Plymouth Colony was combined with the Province of Mas-sachusetts Bay, which eventually became the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Plymouth Colony lasted only 72 years but, as Pilgrim Hall Museum notes, it made a fundamental and lasting impact on American identity.

To give the last word on Plymouth Colony to Governor William Bradford: “As one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many, yea in some sort to our whole nation.”

Rehoboth Town NewsFrom The Clerk’s Office

Laura SchwallTown Clerk

Hello All ~ Happy November! first, I would like to thank the Rehoboth Reporter for allowing me to delay the submission of this month’s article so I could include an update on the october 28, 2013 Special Town Meeting. Town Meeting was successful due to the 101 registered voters who chose to attend Town Meeting prior to Game 5 of the MLB World Series. As Town Moderator Bill Cute promised, voters were home in time for the first pitch after voting to approve Articles 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9. Warrant Article 3 was amended by the

Board of Selectmen, removing Item #3 totaling $13,000, which was earmarked for a Radio System Upgrade for Police/dispatch. Article 3 was then approved as amended. Article 6 was tabled until the 2014 Annual Town Meeting. The Boy Scouts collected 160 lbs. of donated food at Special Town Meeting along with several miscellaneous cash donations. Prior to the conclusion of Town Meeting, Mr. Cute read a public service announcement from the Rehoboth Community Garden Club regarding their “fall Cleanup day” requesting volunteers on November 9th @ 9:00 am. Please bring your gloves and tools and meet us at the garden next to the Senior Center (55 Bay State Road). Rain date is November 10th @ 1:00 pm. Any questions, contact Lisa Reigel @ 508-252-4311 or e-mail [email protected] .

I would like to thank everyone involved in helping prepare, set up, run, and pack up the october 28th Special Town Meeting. Town meeting would not be possible without our moderator, selectmen, finance committee, accountant, town administrator, town counsel, the help of volunteer tellers, election workers, police, town hall employees, custodians, family and friends ~ thank you all for your continued dedication and support. And most of all, thank you to the voters who took time to participate.

Extended Hoursfinal survey results were very close to the preliminary results

I shared last month:80% of the 99 people who participated in the survey felt it would

be beneficial to have town hall open late (7PM or 8PM) one night a week.

The most convenient evening: 46%-Wednesday; 44%-Thursday.82% of the respondents stated they would conduct town busi-

ness online, and included several suggestions for services they would like to see available online.

We also received several suggestions to make our town gov-ernment and services more accessible to the public. All results were shared with the Board of Selectmen during the october 21st selectmen’s meeting. The matter is now in their hands to deter-mine if this is an appropriate time to change the hours of town hall. Thank you to all participants!

Alternate Posting LocationThis week we received notification from the Attorney General

that we may change our primary meeting posting location to the town website from the posting of notices at town hall entranceway. Therefore, over the next month or so we will be transitioning to this format while also making sure all citizens have access to upcoming meeting postings through various secondary formats. More details to come next month.

ducted by King Information System at Town Hall. King Information System has streamlined and computerized the town records of 58 other surrounding communities in Massachusetts. The President & CEo of King Information System, Pat Tigue, is currently in the process of assessing our town hall records and determining what is needed to implement a records management and preservation database at town hall. This six-day study is the first step of a five-step process to organize, preserve, and make our town records more accessible to town employees and residents online. The results of the study will be presented on November 14th.

I also met with Kofile Preservation Company, formerly known as Browns River Bindery, to examine our older town records (1636-1900s) to determine the best way to preserve the historical records now housed in the town vault. Quotes have been obtained for the restoration, preservation, and conversion of the town’s precious historical records. We are now in the process of exploring grant programs and CPC funding to preserve these records while also converting them into a format that will afford the option of online research of our amazing historical town records through our town website.

Thank You Arlene and Jeffrey – concerned citizens of Re-hoboth, who stopped by the Town Clerk’s office last month to share a disturbing situation they encountered in south Rehoboth while taking a walk near the wooded area of Brook Street between Miller and Calisto Streets. They came across hundreds of empty liquor bottles and trash cluttering the entire length of the beautiful natural area. Arlene and Jeff volunteered to personally gather the discarded trash and place in donated trash bags obtained from

Mrs. Carswell’s 2nd Grade Pumpkins decorated the town hall.

the Rehoboth department of Health and Rehoboth Business As-sociation. Rehoboth’s Highway department Supervisor, Mike Tyler, generously volunteered his personal time to collect the excessive number of trash bags and dispose of the materials at the transfer station. The area has now been restored to its original beautiful state thanks to Arlene, Jeff, and Mike’s hard work ~ thank you all. due to their efforts, it was suggested at a recent department head meeting, that community service programs could be utilized to help support similar efforts throughout our beautiful town. The Rehoboth Police department has been contacted to explore the possibility of implementing such a program. In the meantime, if you notice individuals trashing our beautiful town, please make the police aware. We have such a beautiful town and it is truly disappointing that a few individuals can ruin the picturesque setting by discard-ing their trash around town. Thank you to all who were involved in this restoration project; hopefully it will encourage everyone to help keep Rehoboth beautiful.

I would like to take a moment to recognize and congratulate Lynn Shaker, Assistant Town Clerk, on her 8th Anniversary of dedi-cated service to our town. It is an absolute pleasure to work with her every day and our town residents are extremely fortunate to have her assist them over the years.

Please take time on Veteran’s day (November 11) to think about and thank the veterans in your life and all the other Veterans for their dedication, service, and sacrifice for our Country.

finally, Lynn and I would like to wish you all a wonderful Thanks-giving with family and friends. Have a healthy and safe November.

Sincerely, Laura & Lynn

Rehoboth Helping Hands Is Ready for a Busy Holiday

by Laura Calverley

Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away and Rehoboth Helping Hands is gearing up for the holiday season. The annual “Blizzard of Giving” gift drive has already kicked off and they are preparing for their Thanksgiving and Christmas food drives as well as the fuel assistance program.

Helping Hands is counting on the community’s support again this year to help make these programs possible.

They began collecting names and lists for holiday gifts on oc-tober 1 and will continue accepting those requests, which must be made in writing, until November 15.

Helping Hands Coordinator Steve Martin says he hopes that families will get their lists in early. Most people don’t start think-ing about Christmas until december, he says, but the earlier that Helping Hands gets the lists, the better.

Last year, Helping Hands provided approximately 260 wrapped gifts to children.

“It was a big task, but everybody helped,” Martin said.The snowflakes with the children’s wish lists will be available

soon at Palmer River Elementary School, Beckwith Middle School, Blanding Library, Chartley’s Country Store and Anawan Cleaners.

Gifts can be dropped off at any of these locations, as well as 127 Martin Street.

Martin says that although the economy is reportedly in recovery, there are still many people in need.

“I don’t see it (signs of recovery). I see more people losing their jobs,” Martin said.

The need now is greater than it was last year for all their pro-grams, according to Martin.

In addition to the gift drive, Helping Hands is also conducting its annual Thanksgiving and Christmas food drives. Martin is expect-ing that more than 120 families will be provided with either food baskets or food from the pantry this year. They typically deliver between 50-60 baskets at Thanksgiving.

The pantry is in need of all types of traditional holiday food, including potatoes, cranberry sauce, desserts, etc. as well as pa-per goods and drinks. The pantry has enough gravy and stuffing at this time.

Helping Hands doesn’t usually get many donated turkeys. Last year only three turkeys were donated for Thanksgiving, says Martin. The pantry usually gives gift cards so that families can get their own turkeys. Helping Hands is always in need of gift cards to area supermarkets and other stores.

Helping Hands also helps residents with fuel assistance. Last year they helped about 65 families and this year there are already eleven families waiting for assistance.

If approved, families receive a one-time delivery of 100 gallons of oil or the equivalent in electric or gas. The program also provides cords of wood when possible.

Currently, the program has no funds for the upcoming season. Helping Hands is desperately looking for individuals and busi-nesses to sponsor the energy program.

“We need people and businesses to step up and help us with that program. Especially with the weather getting colder, we really need the help,” Martin said.

Martin says that Helping Hands relies on the generosity of the community and the assistance of many volunteers to help make the holidays a special time for all its clients.

“We’re thankful for all the good people out there who help. It would be impossible without them,” Martin said.

Anyone who has never had fuel assistance and would like to apply, call Human Services for an application or if you have questions or need help.

With the community’s support, Human Services hopes to make this a happy Thanksgiving and Christmas for all the families who need assistance.

Rehoboth Ramblings by Leslie Patterson

Looking Back, at Shadowand at Sunshine

After recalling memories of long ago last time, I’ll just take one more look back and then move on. Nothing marks a person as old faster than wallowing in nostalgia, or nothing except discussing the state of one’s health endlessly. However, nostalgia is hardly the emotion evoked by the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy’s assas-sination later this month.

Everyone of a certain age will undoubt-edly be recalling the events of that fateful day (also on friday, November 22) and the days that followed. We sat mesmerized in front of the television as oswald was shot. We cried through the somber and moving funeral and wondered how anyone could organize a public service as impressive as that so quickly. To this day, whenever I hear “Hail to the Chief” I think of John Kennedy’s funeral. We had never seen anything like this awful event and we still hope never to repeat it, however unsurprised by terrorism we may be these days.

Those of us in high school were more affected by the assassination than our younger siblings just because we were old enough to know what was going on. The grim announcements (first of the shooting, and a little while later, a confirmation of the president’s death) were made over the school’s public address system as students gasped and cried. While students elsewhere in America were probably not as emotionally close to the situation as those in Massachu-setts, anyone who was in a Catholic school in the 1960’s probably has similar memories of that feeling of a special loss.

So many Catholic schools were staffed by Irish-American nuns and priests who took a particular pride in one of their own becom-ing president that you might say Catholic school students everywhere in the US were especially hard hit on that tragic day. (The nuns at that time could not have known about JfK’s less-than-admirable private life and that is just as well.)

Having been stunned by the tragedy then, we now find ourselves stunned that it has been 50 years since then, half a century since we were in high school. Who was it that quipped that inside every older person is a young person asking, “What happened?”

Recalling that sad and disturbing time of November 1963 makes me want to jump ahead to another 50th anniversary coming up in a few months, this one a happy time

when we were again sitting mesmerized in front of the TV. I’m referring of course to the Beatles arrival in America the following february. This memory is not without its own sadness in the fact that George died too young of a grim illness and John died way too young, like JfK a victim of a gunman’s violence.

We can only wish long(er) life to Paul and Ringo, who are still going strong, though it’s been quite a while since they were 64. A look back at Beatlemania is a wonderful exercise in nostalgia. I never saw them in person and I could have done with a little less screaming and hysteria drowning them out whenever they were on the Ed Sullivan Show of blessed memory. But what fun it was to be a Beatles fan! (obviously, actually being a Beatle got to be less and less fun as the 60’s wore on.)

I have often wished I could bottle the way I felt the first time I saw “A Hard day’s Night”. What a great drug that would be -- just pure euphoria with no bad side effects! I wonder if this is how cats feel on catnip. The Beatles were so cute, so clever and witty. We loved their music and their sense of fun. There’s no need for me to elaborate here on their enormous effect on popular culture.

But it’s a bit simplistic to say that the Beatles’ arrival cheered up the youth of America after the traumatic days of that No-vember, as some commentators remarked at the time. You can’t really compare the two events except to say that the first of the boomers (I still hate that word) cer-tainly had an interesting senior year in high school.

If nostalgia causes anyone to look at the past only through rose-colored glasses, here is an astute observation from historian david McCullough. In a recent speech at Providence College, he said, “We often say that people lived in a simpler time. There was no such thing, ever.”

Seekonk’s Fall Town MeetingScheduled for Nov. 18

by Laura Calverley Residents will be heading to Seekonk High School on Monday,

November 18 for the fall Town Meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. Town Clerk Jan Parker is not expecting a big turnout for the

meeting. There are 16 articles on the warrant. The article that is caus-

ing the most discussion was submitted by petition by the Veterans Memorial Committee and requests that the land adjacent to the Seekonk Public Library, which is currently under the management and control of the Board of Library Trustees, be returned to the custody of the Board of Selectman.

In May 2010, town meeting voted to transfer the care of that land to the Board of Library Trustees and this article as it is written seeks to reverse that vote so the land will again be under Select-man’s control.

“We are puzzled by the article because Massachusetts General Law provides for Trustees’ control of the library and its associated property. That’s why town meeting in 2010 voted to transfer control to the Trustees. Now the petition is asking to reverse something that the town said that they wanted,” said Michael durkay, Chairman of the Board of Library Trustees.

Approving this article will transfer all the library land, including the Meadows, back to the board of selectmen, according to durkay.

The Veterans Memorial Committee wants to build a memorial on the land next to the Library’s parking lot, right along Newman Avenue. don Kinniburgh, Chairman of the committee says the article only involves that piece of land.

“The intent is to have that strip of land dedicated to the Veter-ans’ Memorial Park,” Kinniburgh said. He added that the commit-tee is not trying to gain ownership of the land. The land is owned by the town, and cared for and managed by the Board of Library Trustees.

In addition to the Veterans’ Memorial article, there are several articles that are usually on the fall town meeting warrant including the acceptance of the reports of town boards and committees and approving fund transfers for the Municipal Capital Stabilization and Stabilization funds. There are also a few articles amending the current year’s budget to reflect salary and payroll increases approved at the June town meeting as well as a change to the School department’s budget to reflect additional state aid received.

other article of interest that request expenditures are outlined below:

-$35,000 to rent a tub grinder and screener for the Transfer and Recycling facility.

-$22,500 for the demolition of the Police Association Building on Newman Ave.

-$25,000 for engineering, design and architectural plans for the remodeling, expansion and construction of the Seekonk Public Library. The article also authorizes town officials to seek grant money to help fund the library project. Another separate article would create a facilities Committee consisting of seven Seekonk residents to oversee the project.

-$20,000 for a professional search firm to assist in the hiring of a new town administrator.

-$110,000 for the engineering and installation of a traffic light at the driveway to the Public Safety Complex.

Another article is an amendment to the town Bylaws requesting that one section, Category 3, Compensation for Part Time Elected officials, be deleted.

finally, there is an article requesting a temporary construction access easement on private property on Pine Street that abuts town-owned land.

MY TWO CENTSBy Rehoboth Selectman, Sue Pimental

Well, I’m at the half way mark of my term as Selectman. It was about a year and a half ago I was elected, okay, kinda….I ran un-opposed, so kinda hard not to get elected. My first year I have to admit I struggled with the way town government works…sooooo slooooowwww. In my second year, I was elected chairman…again, not much of a feat since the board typically rotates chairman. As chairman, although more work, you have an opportunity to set the pace of meetings, which I love. I review the agenda as well as “run” the meeting. So I can set the tempo and move things along with the intention of having some resolution on some issues

However, after a year and half, I don’t struggle as much with the pace. I have a little more insight on how things work or better yet, how to make things work better. I’ve learned ways on how to move issues along for resolution at a faster pace….you have to keep pushing and not take no for an answer because its never been done, or that’s the way it has always been done, as well cut to the chase to the real issue. We currently have an issue before us regarding the communication between public safety personnel. The police have updated radio’s they received from a grant but unable to use because of the inadequate reception. The fire chief has sporadic coverage around town. I recently met with the police chief, fire chief, two communication consultants used by police and fire as well as the finance committee liaison. Bottom line, cutting to the chase, we are trying to band-aide a fix to the communication problem. Makes no sense to me. I realize it is a “cheaper” solution, but doesn’t solve the town public safety communication issues and in the end, not really a viable solution. Seems like common sense to find a solution that meets all their needs....doesn’t it!?!

I get emails and phone calls from resi-dents who either disagree with something we did on the board or want some assis-tance with a matter. I have also received compliments on decisions or actions, which is nice to hear. What I’ve learned is that more people than you think watch the meetings, read the Rehoboth Reporter and know issues that are before the board, they just don’t necessarily come to town meeting

I’ve said this before, but it’s worth repeating, we have some amazing volun-teers. There are some very knowledgeable residents willing to give up some of the personal time to try to lend their knowledge and expertise to the town. You can’t even imagine, how much that saves the town and how much it would cost the town if we didn’t have these dedicated individuals. for example, the IT committee, which is filled with, in my opinion, experts in this field. We have a better technology structure, controls, and security because of this committee’s ef-forts. And remember they all do this for the bubble, which means zero compensation. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when your intent is get the best on committees and not appoint just because someone is a political ally or appoint because someone submitted a talent bank form.

one decision I am very proud of is, our appointment of town clerk, Laura Schwall. Anybody watching the meetings, knows the dedication and effort she has put into this position. I remember when Laura put in a

talent bank form for this position and the board began interviewing potential candidates. Although this is an elected position, because of the retirement of our previous town clerk, the selectman have the responsibility to appoint an interim town clerk, until the next election. I heard some nay sayers (I’m being kind with my choice of words) say that our appointment was politically motivated. Are you kidding me? Because I knew Laura and her husband, it was politically motivated? Seriously? Laura has made so many im-provements to not only the town clerks office but has spearheaded efforts to make the town hall more service friendly for all residents. Where are those naysayers now!?! Again, I learned, no matter what my decision, there are a few knuckleheads who will criticize. I can defend everyone one of my decisions and not afraid to do so.

If you watch the meetings, you know that on occasion we dis-agree with each other, some more than others….someone how I seem to be the mix more often than not J. I’ve heard we entertain some residents….and I’m okay with that. It’s never personal with me and at the end of the meeting, a few us will go out and get something to eat.

So after a year and half of being Selectman, I can tell you that the system has not beaten me down (yet). I have had people tell me that I need to be a little more “political” in my approach. No thanks, I like my style just the way it is…tell it like it is, not afraid to disagree and to stand up for what I believe is the right thing. I’m not going to try to sugarcoat something or “kiss someone’s butt” to have them see things my way. And maybe that will hurt me in my efforts to get something done, but I not a good “butt kisser”. I’m not going to do something because it’s “politically correct”, I’m going to do it because it makes sense.

When I ran for office, again, using the term “run” lightly, I went in with the intent of one term. That way I wouldn’t have to worry about being “politically correct”, I only had to worry about doing what was right and telling people how it really is because I wasn’t worried about re-election. After a year and half, whether I decide to

run for re-election or not, I not going to worry about what I say or do because of a potential run for re-election. Regardless of whether I run for re-election in a year and half from now, I’m not changing my style. The political system, has not and will not wear me down….at least that’s my position half way thru my term.

Heard at the Country Kitchen...By Jim Chandley

There’s an old truism that says, “Change is the only thing that’s constant.” The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association has changed football about as much as they feasibly could have. There is a new playoff system in place, one that I’m truly in favor of, as I wrote about a year ago in this very column. Most teams who qualified have already played two playoff games, which is a big change from last year.

A year ago, the playoffs would not have started until the weekend following the Thanksgiving holiday. It made virtually any playoff contender have to play their rivalry game not only for the pride associated with a win on Thanksgiving, but also the win was important for remaining a playoff team. The playoffs were consider-ably smaller a year ago, so even an undefeated team losing that late November clash could find themselves watching the playoffs from the stands.

Well, dighton Rehoboth is still on the path to what they hope will be a state championship. The falcons beat Somerset Berkley in the first round of the playoffs and now they will host Plymouth North. Their rivals next door at Seekonk High School embarked with many other schools on the new football playoff journey. But they were bounced in the first round by old Rochester Regional.

The funny thing about change being the only constant? Well, the playoff system is completely suspended on Thanksgiving and that weekend, so that everyone can play their old rivalry game, regardless of who made the playoffs, did not make the playoffs, or

has been eliminated. So dighton Rehoboth could well be on their way to a state title, and Seekonk will be roughly a month removed from meaningful games, but the two will meet on turkey day.

Seekonk will host this year’s game on Thanksgiving morning. It will be the 47th in the history of the rivalry. To this point, the falcons lead the all time series 27-18-1. This may be the first time that a playoff contending team takes the field in this rivalry and fears no repercussions from a loss.

The possible implications of this new format from a football perspective are fascinating. Let’s just assume that Seekonk con-tinues to play well (which they did, despite their playoff loss to old Rochester. They were simply overmatched.) and dighton Rehoboth stays in the hunt and keeps winning their playoff games.

I think it’s safe to assume that Seekonk will bring the same type of intensity they have in the past. dighton Rehoboth has a more successful history, so the Warriors are usually playing spoiler by this time of year anyway. But how does dighton Rehoboth handle this new scenario?

You certainly don’t want to get an important player injured in a game that has no real meaning if you’re playing to punch a ticket to Gillette Stadium the following week. But there is the compelling argument that pride itself is meaning enough for this game. Some would say you play this game to win regardless of playoff position, because it’s Seekonk vs. dR.

There’s a secondary question for coach dave driscoll and his staff. Say you stay completely healthy on Thanksgiving. You run the second and third string out against Seekonk and nobody so much as catches a cold. But Seekonk’s high flying offense clicks, they stop you with what has been an underrated defense all season, and you lose, perhaps even by a sizable margin. Is there a psychological drain on your team, even though you all knew the game didn’t count? do you lose some kind of mojo? If dighton Rehoboth is still in contention by Thanksgiving, they will be more than two months removed from their last loss. Even if a given game doesn’t matter, that’s not exactly the kind of streak you want to break.

Either way, I’m glad this matchup is continuing. I look forward to seeing how the coaches handle these difficult ques-tions. I believe that the student athletes involved will bring the same attitude that has always made this game a great one. As a journalist, I consider it a privilege to cover this game each November. Simply as a football fan, I love the tradition.

I’m a Bishop feehan alumnus, and we like to think we have quite the football tradition. But you know something? We were playing some of our first football games ever when this rivalry began. It’s a nice tradition these two schools have go-ing. And these two teams will do it justice.

Joe Day meets Papa Francesco!Joe day is history major and junior at Providence College, studying this semester in

Rome, a member of our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish in Seekonk, son of Liz and fred day of Rehoboth.

It was his goal when he left for Rome in August to meet the Holy father! He had sev-eral other experiences prior to this with Papa francesco passing by him, one in which he handed a letter he had written for the Pope to a Swiss Guard who put it in the Popemobile!

It is a tradition in the Church that some pilgrims bring a white zucchetto (skull cap) to present to the Pope at his audiences. The Pope either exchanges zucchetti or places the pilgrim’s on his head for a moment before returning it. I had heard of this custom shortly before leaving for Rome and have had the opportunity to see it performed several times. It used to be the case that the Pope would only exchange zucchetti in private audiences. Swaps during general audiences weren’t all that common under Benedict xVI and John Paul II, probably in part due to the use of an enclosed, bulletproof Popemobile which was used after the assassination attempt on John Paul II. Pope francis does not use the bul-letproof Popemobile, making him more accessible to the crowds. Because of this I men-tion to some other PC students my idea of getting a zucchetto for Papa francesco. on Wednesday morning we arrived at St. Peter’s at 6 and waited in line until the square opened at 7:30. We had scoped out some prime real estate in the front right section of seating by the central pathway leading from the obelisk to the steps of the Basilica. What we didn’t know was that the Swiss Guards were going to line that pathway with those in wheelchairs. This acted to our advantage. Around 9:50 Pope francis entered the Square and drove around it, kissing babies, smiling, and waving. Near the end, he came down the pathway in front of us. We were all ecstatic with the excitement of being so close to our Papa. We all leaned over the barricade as he slowing (because of the wheelchairs) drove towards us. To be honest, I can’t really remember what happened next. It was all such a blur filled with so much emotion, so much joy. But according to what everyone else remembers this is what happened. I stood on my chair reaching as far as I could with the zucchetto as I yelled, “Papa, Papa!” As he approached us he signaled for the driver to stop. Smiling at us he reached out, taking the zucchetto from me and brushing my hand. Still smiling he looked down at it and the note we had placed in it, which read “Providence Col-lege Loves Papa francesco” with our names signed beneath it. Looking up at us he said, “Providence College” and then, always smiling” measured our zucchetto and his. With his characteristic simplicity, he said in Italian, “Its too big.” He then placed the zucchetto on his head for a moment, closed his eyes and said a prayer before handing it back to us with a smile and wave! Words cannot describe what it was like to be so close to the successor of St. Peter, to touch his hand, to have him speak to me, to have him take and wear that zucchetto for a moment before returning it as a gift, blessed for us. My hands didn’t stop shaking for hours! I spent the rest of the audience in a dazed state of joy, cradling the zucchetto in my lap. It was a blessing and a gift, a grace that will remain with me always: my moment with the Pope!

Joe Day meets Papa Francesco!

Bay View Academy Lower And Middle School Students Express Their Silly Side

In Service Of Others East Providence, RI - Thursday, September 29th was Silly Socks

and Shoes day at Bay View Academy Lower and Middle Schools. Girls arrived in a variety of mismatched and whimsical footwear, all in the name of service. With the privilege to express their silly side came the responsibility to donate new socks for the mothers and children who reside at McAuley Village, a transitional housing program for homeless mothers in Providence, RI. McAuley Village, like Bay View Academy, is sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy.

The idea for Silly Socks and Shoes day came as an off shoot from an Academy-wide initiative that took place last spring wherein Bay View’s girls and young women raised money to buy shoes for the children of McAuley Village. on June 11th, Bay View students traveled to Nordstrom in Providence and met up with mothers and children from McAuley Village, shared a meal and celebrated as each of the children received two brand new pairs of shoes.

Now with colder weather looming, socks seemed the logical next step. over 300 pairs were donated by students, faculty and staff this past Thursday and have been sent to McAuley Village.

Representative Steven Howitt Achieves Perfect Voting Record

Seekonk Lawmaker Registered 224 Consecutive Roll Call Votes This Year

BoSToN— State Representative Steven Howitt (R-Seekonk) is pleased to announce that he participated in 224 consecutive roll call votes in the House of Representatives this year - a perfect voting record.

The Seekonk legislator cast votes on a number of issues includ-ing: a Republican-led transportation finance package – free of any statewide tax increases, legislation aimed at eradicating waste, fraud, and abuse in our state’s welfare system and the restoration of local aid to cities and towns across the Commonwealth.

Additionally, Representative Howitt was instrumental in the Republican Caucus’ opposition to a $500 million transportation finance package which contained a myriad of tax increases – one of which was the largest and broadest tax on computer and software services in the nation.

Representative Howitt serves on the Joint Committee on Con-sumer Protection and Professional Licensure, Joint Committee on Tourism, Arts and Cultural development and the Joint Committee on Transportation.

Arts in the Village Presents Trio AmiciDecember 7th

Trio Amici performs in the Arts in the Village Concert Series in Rehoboth on December

7. Photo credit: Michael J. Lutch

on Saturday, december 7, Arts in the Village will present a concert in Rehoboth, MA, by Trio Amici, a popular Boston-based group that is making its first appearance in the AIV series. The evening’s program includes Joseph Haydn’s Trio No. 44 in E major and Antonin dvořák’s Trio No. 3 in f minor.

Trio Amici, featuring violinist Lucia Lin, cellist owen Young, and pianist Sergey Schepkin, began its creative life in 1994, when the three musicians performed Beethoven’s “Archduke” Trio for the Boston Symphony Prelude Series. Since then, they have appeared in the Boston area, western Massachusetts, and New York City. It is only recently, however, that the group decided to give itself a distinctive name. The three musi-cians have been great friends for a long time, so the name Amici was a natural choice.

Lucia Lin made her début at age eleven performing the Mendelssohn Concerto with the Chicago Symphony. Since then, she has been a prizewinner of numerous com-petitions, including the 1990 International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. She has performed in solo recitals throughout the US, making her New York début at Weill Re-cital Hall in March 1991, and has appeared with the Boston Pops orchestra, the St. Louis Symphony orchestra, the oklahoma Symphony, the festivalorchester in Graz, Austria, and the Moscow State orchestra. A frequent collaborator in chamber music, Ms. Lin is a member of the Muir String Quartet (quartet-in-residence at Boston University). She has performed at the Sapporo Music festival, the Taos Chamber Music festival, the da Camera Society in Houston, the St. Barth’s Music festival, and the Barbican Hall Chamber Series in London. She has also served as Concertmaster of the Mil-waukee Symphony orchestra in 1991–92 and the London Symphony orchestra in 1994–96, and is currently a member of the Boston Symphony orchestra, having served as Assistant Concertmaster there from 1988–91 and 1996–98. Ms. Lin received her Bachelor’s degree at the University of Illinois and her Master of Music degree at Rice University.

owen Young has been a member of the Boston Symphony orchestra since 1991. An active chamber musician, he has partici-pated in festivals at Tanglewood, the Banff Centre for the Arts, Brevard Music Center, Aspen, davos, Sunflower, Gateway, and St. Barth’s. He has made solo appearances with the Boston Pops orchestra, the Pittsburgh Symphony, Salisbury Symphony, Racine Symphony, and San Antonio Chamber or-chestra, among others. Mr. Young has taught at The Boston Conservatory, New England Conservatory’s Extension division, the Longy School of Music, and the Boston Uni-versity Tanglewood Institute. He is currently teaching at the Berklee College of Music and is active in Project STEP (String Training and Education Program for Students of Color). Mr. Young is a graduate of Yale University, where he received both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.

The Russian-American pianist Sergey Schepkin has performed worldwide, from the US to Russia to Japan to New zealand. He made his Carnegie Hall recital début in 1993 (at Weill Recital Hall) and has appeared as a soloist on the Great Performers Series at Lincoln Center, the Celebrity Series of Boston, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and the St. Petersburg Grand and Chamber Phil-harmonic Halls, among many other venues and series.

Murray Church Food Pantry in Attleboro awarded $2,500 from Project Bread

Murray Unitarian Universalist Church today announced that they are the recipients of a $2,500 grant from Project Bread. This grant allows the Murray Church food Pantry to continue to make

it possible for people in need to pick up food with dignity. Ellen Parker, Executive director of Project Bread states “Hunger is a very real, chronic condition throughout our state. There is no typical hungry person and we know it takes more than one solution to solve this complex problem.”

According to Sue Kline, the Murray Church food Pantry Coordinator, last year Murray Church provided approximately 1,800 bags of food, totaling just about 40,000 pounds to over 4,700 people. This $2,500 grant allows the food Pantry to purchase food at a deep discount from the Greater Boston food Bank. Many custom-ers come weekly and/or monthly to supple-ment their family’s food costs.

Anawan Oakton GrangeAnother month has passed. It was a tough one for me as

another member of our Grange passed away. Robert B. Harmon had been a member for 49 years and was also my husband for that long. He had been active in his support through the years. We will miss him.

Many good things are happening in the Grange. The 141st meeting of the Massachusetts State Grange was held october 24 to 27th in Plymouth MA. We sent two delegates to represent our Grange. one of the resolutions passed was for the Grange to Partner with the University of Massachusetts Agricultural Learn-ing Center. Two of the ideas for us to support are “Mass State Grange Pollinator and Herb Garden” and “food Security through Urban/Community Gardens and Home Garden Revival”. Both of these projects sound exciting for our Country’s future. Many other resolutions were adopted and will be noted in future months. The Halloween Party was lots of fun with 11 pumpkins carved or painted. The costume contest featured a gorilla, witch, out house staff member, cowboy, vampire, beauty, authentic drive up waitress, and a french chef who won first prize. our November meetings are the 12th and 26th with a Veterans day Program and Thanksgiving Program respectively. on the 12th please bring a non-perishable item for the food bank. The 26th will feature a 4-H presentation. Come one and all to the Grange hall at 7 PM.

“Home Sweet Home, Rehoboth”Six Generations Enjoy Life in

Fairview Avenue Homeby Leslie Patterson

The Aaron Wheeler House at 371 fairview Avenue, now owned by E. otis dyer, Sr. and his wife Jean, goes back to the mid-18th century. Philip Wheeler, a land speculator and timber merchant who lived on Chestnut Street, purchased a large tract of land on both sides of fairview Avenue from the Peck family. The Pecks operated a small iron bloomery (an early type of furnace for smelting iron) and a dam on the Palmer River. They also owned more extensive mills downstream.

Home filled with 13 children The land was cleared of woods to make charcoal for the

iron-making process. Philip Wheeler gave his eldest son Aaron this partially cleared property in 1745 to build his house and farm. Aaron was 22 years old and had been married for two years. He built the east half of the house first with the chimney about 1746. The house had a gambrel roof and a standard floor plan of the time with rooms grouped around a central chimney. A year later, the first of 13 children was born in the house. Within a decade the west half of the house was built to accommodate this growing family.

Aaron was a very successful farmer in colonial Rehoboth. He also owned partial interests in local mills and was a strong sup-porter of the American Revolution, taking part in skirmishes with the British when they were occupying Newport. At least one son, Simeon, was a minuteman, serving in the Rehoboth militia at the attack of Bristol and Warren in Rhode Island.

Aaron Wheeler died in 1800 and the farm was sold to otis Peck for $2,580. This included the house and the barn, along with 108 acres and part ownership of the sawmill and the nearby school, which stood at the intersection of Anawan Street and fairview from 1746 to 1876. (In the early days local people owned shares in the community school.)

Sold with a barrel of rum otis Peck died suddenly in 1805, with his estate owing $2,500.

A public sale was held in february 1806 to pay off creditors. It is

said that the administrator bought a barrel of rum for the crowd and a good time was had by all. fifteen acres were retained with the house and barn on the west side of fairview Avenue and it was sold to Nathan and Abner Hicks in 1815. They sold it to Stephen Bowen in 1818 for $850. Stephen was a veteran of the Continental Army. He had enlisted at the age of 16 and fought at the Battle of Yorktown, or as he said, “I was at the taking of Lord Cornwallis.”

In 1862 the house was divided in two, with a Bowen brother and sister each owning half. The sister, Maria Bowen dexter, spent the whole of her 95 years living in this house. Her son E. o. dexter grew up there and later became a very successful contractor in Attleboro.

Present owner E. otis dyer, Sr., grandson of E. o. dexter, moved into the homestead in 1949. The dyers made extensive repairs to the house in 1955. They discovered that the walls in an upstairs bedroom had been papered to cover oak boards, and the cracks between the boards were filled with newspapers, some of which dated back to 1803. Although modern conveniences were added over the years, wood beams dating back to its original construction remain.

E. Otis Dyer, Sr. stands in front of his home on Fairview Ave. Six generations of his

family have lived here. (Photo by Richard Benjamin)

Have difficult-to-shop-for people on your gift list?

Unique gift ideas that ‘wow’(BPT) - When creating a holiday shopping list for gifts for friends

and family, there is always at least one impossible-to-shop-for person on that list. Maybe they’re the type of person who doesn’t need anything, or are not involved in hobbies that cater easily to gift ideas. Whatever the reason, each holiday season you struggle to find the perfect gift to celebrate the season.

“Sometimes coming up with gift ideas for friends and family is a challenge,” says Anna Post, great-great granddaughter of Emily Post and co-author of Emily Post’s Etiquette, 18th Edition. “I recommend taking a step back and looking at the recipient’s taste, personality, interests, daily habits and hobbies for inspiration. And remember, sometimes practical gifts that recipients will use on an everyday basis are the best gifts for those who are difficult to shop for.”

To generate ideas, check out the offerings at your local Staples retail store where you can find perfect gifts for everyone on your holiday shopping list - including those that are hard to shop for. Consider the following gift suggestions:

for the entertainer - Hosting a dinner party often involves un-corking a bottle of wine. Many people will open the bottle early to let it breathe, but the small opening at the top of the wine bottle doesn’t allow air to properly oxygenate the drink. for this person, the Brookstone Aero Wine Aerator would be a great holiday gift, as it allows them to do a little entertaining in high-tech style. As an added bonus, throw in a couple of wine and drink markers by LeMarqueur. These come in gold or silver, and allow the host to put names on wine glasses so attendees know which glass belongs to them. The ink will wash off with cooking oil so the glasses can be used again at future parties.

Holiday Gift Certificates

Holiday Guidefor the organizer - If you have someone on your shopping list who is constantly taking

notes for shopping lists, calendar scheduling or even copying down recipes, the quilted ARC leather notebook system sold exclusively at Staples will be sure to please. It comes in three colors - teal, pink and black - and can be paired with Avant Gel Ink pens, giving the recipient a sense of style when note taking.

for the youngsters - Children have plenty of electronic gadgets to keep them busy, so consider going a different direction with the gift of origami. Beginners can start off easy with Scholastic follow the directions Art Easy origami, which includes all the paper supplies and directions needed to create fun farm animals, rockets and flowers. As a benefit, origami folding helps children with fine motor skills, reading, counting as well as identifying colors and shapes. Another fun and educational gift idea is Appleletters, which contains 110 tiles with letters, and games that encourage children to spell out words using the letters they have in an effort to be the first to use all their tiles.

These are just a few of the ideas you can find at Staples that are perfect for those difficult-to-shop-for people on your holiday shopping list. And as a bonus, you can also shop for your gifts online at Staples.com.

DIY decorating that lasts all season long(BPT) - As the holidays roll around, it’s

natural to want to spread good tidings and cheer with festive decorations like wreaths, candy canes and Santa Claus figurines. But this year, instead of digging out the same old holiday decorations, why not create some new looks that will last the entire winter sea-son, even after you put away the gift wrap and ornaments?

Stimulate the sensesNothing says winter like the fresh smell

of pine and the soft, warm glow of candle light. Repurpose simple glass bottles into an outdoorsy candlescape with Krylon Natural Stone Textured finish spray paint. Available in eight colors, like olivine, it goes on easy and gives you the natural beauty of stone and an elegant, professional-looking ap-pearance. once dry, wrap artificial garland with pinecones around the bottle’s neck or let the garland cascade down the bottle. Place pine tree-scented white taper candles in the bottle openings, light and enjoy for a fresh look and smell that will stimulate your senses well into 2014.

Holiday Guide

Color works wondersAnother easy way to excite the senses during a drab, gray

winter is with pops of color. for a decorative display that lasts all season, avoid the red and green color combination associated with Christmas and branch out with more contemporary choices like teals, blues, purples and pinks. Metallics like silver and gold are also a great way to glitz up the season without looking like the North Pole in overdrive. Try Krylon’s ColorMaster Metallic in Gold to spice up old ornaments, vases, frames, centerpieces and more in no time at all. Group spray-painted ornaments or pine cones in a hurricane vase or glass bowl and display on the mantel for added ambiance to any living room.

Deck the hallsLooking for a way to display the abundance of holiday cards

from friends and family? Repurpose an old window shutter to cre-ate a unique display. Start by spray painting it with a festive shade, such as green or burgundy, which adds a touch of holiday spirit. once dry, hang the shutter in the kitchen or entryway and place holiday cards in the slats of the shutter for a creative way to stay organized. once the holidays have passed, you can still use the shutter to display birthday cards, thank you notes, party invitations and more all year long.

Holiday Guide

Outdoor decorThe inside of the home isn’t the only space you can be creative.

Make a lasting statement before houseguests even step inside your home by focusing decorative attention to the outside. Line walkways and driveways with lights or faux miniature pine trees, and place white flameless candlesticks on each windowsill to add a simple touch of holiday spirit without going overboard. Prop a vintage snow sled outside the front door to welcome guests.

So, this year instead of the same decorations, consider some fun and easy ways to re-beautify them into pieces that you’ll be proud to display throughout the winter season. for more product or project ideas, visit www.krylon.com.


SPORTS UPDATEHillside Country Club

Hosts the DR Golf Teamby Jim Chandley

Hillside Country Club may be experiencing some major changes in the club house and surrounding area, but the golf course is re-maining largely the same, and it is open for business. It also plays a gracious host to the dighton Rehoboth Regional High School golf team. The falcons just wrapped up a successful regular season, which was helped at least in part by this tricky little golf course tucked in a quaint little corner of Rehoboth.

“It’s definitely got a few tricks up its sleeve,” said Nick Soares of the dighton Rehoboth team during a recent round at Hillside. The course consists of a few blind tee shots, some fairways that kick in a direction the golfer may not anticipate, and greens that the falcon players have figured down to a science. His teammate Eric Pappas agreed with Soares’ assessment. “It’s the kind of place that’s tough to play when you’re seeing it for the first time. I think we’re tough to beat here. We know the breaks and teams coming in here don’t,” said Pappas.

The falcons did not get the results they hoped for in the post season, failing to qualify for the state tournament in last month’s sec-tional affair. But the tournament was held at Easton Country Club, where dighton Rehoboth did not have their cherished home field.

Hillside’s nine holes play at 2,956 yards long and par for the course is 36. The course can play as short as 2,264 from the front tees, so it is not too long for younger players, but there is enough room to take out the driver and hit some longer shots if you like.

The falcons road their home field advantage to one of the best records in the South Coast Conference this season, with only an amazing Apponequet Laker team beating them on their home course in Rehoboth. Coach Bill Cute says beyond any strategic advantage, the folks at Hillside could not have been more hospi-table to his team. “Anything we’ve needed, we’ve been given. The people here simply could not have been more helpful,” said the coach during the season.

But, there is not much news on the course. The real news is off the course, where things are getting a major facelift. If you have internet access, you absolutely want to head on over to Hillside-countryclub.com where you can see a 3-d flyover of the coming renovations. The video is impressive, and the new facilities promise to be as well.

Renovations will include a pool, hot tub, an expanded patio, outdoor bar, and outdoor recreation area aside from the golf course, such as volleyball courts. And while the golf course and club house have always been beautiful, the commitment to landscaping and decorating throughout the renovation has been and remains a real one.

Rehoboth Sports Round-Upby Jim Chandley

FootballTeams throughout Massachusetts, under the new rules adopted by the Massachusetts

Interscholastic Athletic Association, will finally play a football playoff somewhat similar to the ones common to other sports. Twenty-two divisions from around the state will send teams to into traditional eight and four team brackets, and the result will be three state champions.

division I teams will participate in a 16 team tournament. division III (including dighton Rehoboth) will have it’s own bracket, due to the sheer number of teams participating. The teams from divisions 2, 4, 5 and 6 (which includes Seekonk) will participate in a 28-team tournament.

If either of the local teams are lucky enough to make their State Championship game, those will be held at Gillette Stadium in foxboro. This event will be a new twist on what has been a wildly popular day of high school football each winter at the local NfL stadium.

The falcons are still alive and well, with a chance to claim that spot. Back in September, dighton Rehoboth was the very first visitor to Somerset Berkley’s new football field. They spoiled the ribbon cutting with a 23-16 victory.

In the first round of the South division III Southeast playoffs, it was once again dighton Rehoboth hosting Somerset Berkley. This time, the falcons won 35-21, advancing to the second round of the playoffs. The win came on an absolutely huge evening for Kyle Rose, who scored four touchdowns for the falcons.

dighton Rehoboth will now play host to Plymouth North in the second round of the playoffs. The falcons would seem to be the more balanced offensive attack, going in with multiple weapons on the ground and a formidable passing game. But their opponent brings a feature back, who is coming off of a performance every bit as impressive as Rose’s last outing.

Christian Carr carried the rock for almost 200 yards and four touchdowns of his own as Plymouth North knocked off Nauset to move into this position. A win against Carr and Plymouth North would put the flacons two wins away from Gillette Stadium…and only three wins away from a state championship title.

Field HockeyThe Lady falcons snuck into their division I South Sectional

tournament, grabbing one of the last two spots with a 7-7-2 on the season. They found themselves matched up with Medfield who finished the regular year at 12-4-2 and one of the higher seeds in the tournament. Katie Costa scored a goal in sudden victory to give dighton Rehoboth a 2-1 win, shocking Medfield and knocking them out of the playoffs. Unfortunately, two days later the Cinderella run came to an end, when oliver Ames beat the Lady falcons 5-0.

Socceron the girls’ side, dighton Rehoboth finished at 13-4-2, which

was good for the sixth seed in the division II South Sectional tournament. But a playoff win was not in the cards for this season, nor was a goal. The Lady falcons were shutout, 4-0 by the Lady Indians. This group will most certainly be back. Coach Trish Madsen was optimistic about her team’s chances this year, but they were young, and their impressive regular season record may have been a slight over achievement.

opposite the Lady falcons, Steve Kulpa’s boys’ squad came up just short of a playoff spot this season. The team was a long shot for a spot at midseason, already behind the eight ball and needing over a point a game over their final seven games.

VolleyballCoach Jill Saxon’s team missed the playoffs again this sea-

son. Unlike last year’s less than stellar season, the Lady falcons seemed to have both skill and veteran leadership this time around. The problem in the 2013 campaign was size. Some of the tallest players in the program were freshmen, which bodes very well for seasons to come. But this time around, it did not help.



Seekonk Sports Round-Upby Jim Chandley

Golfdighton Rehoboth ended the season with one of the best re-

cords in the South Coast Conference. However, they did not get the showing they had hoped for in the division II South (Cape Cod) Sectional tournament. When the falcons traveled to Easton Country Club, they got identical rounds of 83 from Noah Kowal and Nick Soares, they best two scores they carded. Andrew flynn shot 74 for Nauset, which was the best score among all competitors for the day. dighton Rehoboth finished in 11th place out of the 15 schools competing, which ended their season.

Socceron the boys’ side of things, coach Matt McCartin’s squad fin-

ished up the regular year with a 14-3-3 record, good for a seventh seed in the division III South Sectional tournament. Unfortunately for the Warriors, they were upset 3-1 by dover Sherborn in the first round, ending their season.

The Lady Warriors finished the regular year at 12-2-2, good for the fourth seed in the division III South Sectionals. But they were knocked off in the first round, in an even bigger upset than the one their male counterparts lost. The Hanover Lady Indians, who lost twice as many games as they won during the regular season, traveled to Seekonk and beat the Lady Warriors 3-0, ending their season well short of where they hoped to be.

Coach Tom Crowley told The Reporter this summer that this year’s edition of Seekonk girls’ soccer would be the best the pro-gram had ever seen. It is worth noting that the coach was right about the way his team looked in the regular season, losing only two games and winning the highest sectional seed in recent memory. But a first round exit from the post season was definitely not what the players or coaches had envisioned.

FootballTeams throughout Massachusetts, under the new rules adopted

by the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association, will finally play a football playoff somewhat similar to the ones common to other sports. Twenty-two divisions from around the state will send teams to into traditional eight and four team brackets, and the result will be three state champions.

division I teams will participate in a 16 team tournament. divi-sion III (including dighton Rehoboth) will have it’s own bracket, due to the sheer number of teams participating. The teams from divisions 2, 4, 5 and 6 (which includes Seekonk) will participate in a 28-team tournament.

If any of the local teams are lucky enough to make their State Championship game, those will be held at Gillette Stadium in foxboro. This event will be a new twist on what has been a wildly popular day of high school football each winter at the local NfL stadium.

Unfortunately the Seekonk Warriors will not be a part of that excitement. Seekonk snuck into the division V South Sectionals, grabbing the eighth and final seed, which set up a showdown with old Rochester Regional. In one of the more odd quirks of football’s new playoff schedule, the Bulldogs hosted Seekonk for the second time in as many weeks for the playoff game. In the “final” regular season game, old Rochester beat Seekonk 31-14. A week later, Seekonk came back and lost 32-15, with the game following a similar script. Both times, the Bulldogs built two score leads and appeared to let off the gas a bit. Both times, Seekonk took advantage and began to come back, but ultimately did not have the horses to run with old Rochester.

Seekonk now enters an interesting kind of football purgatory. All games between now and their Thanksgiving day showdown with dighton Rehoboth are to be announced. for teams who did not make the MIAA playoffs, and for those ousted early from the action, games are scheduled on the fly, to account for eliminated playoff teams entering the ranks of those who do not have an op-ponent scheduled.

Field HockeyThe Lady Warriors came up a single point short of a playoff spot

this season. Coach Kim Pellerin’s squad ultimately needed a win they did not get when they squared off with Bishop Stang in the final week of the season. They squared off with the Lady Spartans twice in the final week of the season, getting a big win at home in Seekonk. But the return trip to North dartmouth was not as fruitful.

GolfThe Warriors finished the year with an even 8-8 record. They traveled to Glen Ellen

Country Club in Millis to compete in the division III South Sectional Qualifier. dover Sherborn and Cohasset were the qualifiers in the event. Seekonk finished in sixth place out of eight schools competing. Eric Lozito carded an 89 on the day, the best score for the Warriors. The round of the day belonged to Paul Parrish, who shot a 77 for dover Sherborn.

VolleyballThe Lady Warriors finished the season at 11-9, which was good for a spot in the play-

offs. They hosted and defeated old Colony 3-0 in the first round of the tournament. But fairhaven, a division foe and 17-1 buzz saw, shut Seekonk out 3-0 in the second round, ending their season.

“Building aFoundationfor Life”

“As a community bank, we’re especially proud to sponsor the ‘High five’ Club as it seeks to acknowledge students who are focused on the betterment of their town and neighborhoods,” said Murray. “one of the key areas of focus for the foundation is education so this partnership with dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School is a particularly rewarding one. We look forward to helping recognize more deserving students throughout the year for their excellence.”

The students (one female/one male) named to the “High five” Club have their names and achievements read on the loudspeaker friday mornings, are given the t-shirt to wear on the friday of the announcement and have their picture taken with a summary of their achievements. This picture and student bio is posted on the high school’s blog and also sent to the local media. The students will also be recognized by the Bank’s Rehoboth branch on its digital screen.

“The Club has been a real hit with our students, as well as faculty and the administration, so far,” said Striano. “The ‘High five’ Club kids are being recognized for what they do in the community-at-large by our school community. As a result, we are seeing that many of our students are aspiring to be role models themselves and think more about how they can make a positive impact within the community and the world around them.”

I am confident. I am a leader. I am a role model.

Bristol County Savings Bank is an active supporter in the com-munities it serves. The foundation was established in 1996 as part of the Bank’s 150th Anniversary celebration. Its purpose is to fund needs that contribute to the economic and the social well-being of the people and institutions located in greater Attleboro/Taunton Region, the greater New Bedford/dartmouth Region, the fall River Region and the Pawtucket, Rhode Island Region. Since the foundation began, more than $10 million in grants to thousands of different non-profit organizations have been awarded. In 2012, the foundation awarded $1.2 million to various 501©(3) organiza-tions and is expected to award a record high $1.4 million in 2013.

“shoes Off” to Fourth Grade - What was formerly Curriculum open House made a transformation to an interactive STEMS Activ-ity Night for fourth grade families. families were invited to meet the teachers, review curriculum and classroom expectations and then moved enthusiastically down to the gym or cafeteria for an engineering challenge. Newspaper and masking tape flew through the air as the groups, composed of students and their parents, set out to create the tallest structure bearing the most shoes. (That’s right…our shoes!) All participated with fervor as the clock ticked by. Some families even made a shout out for families to “get to Palmer River” to help. Many hands certainly made lighter work as they rolled and taped their way to the sky. With heads together, each team strategized how to get the most points for height and volume of shoes. While winners were selected- the real winners were the families that came and conquered the challenge together. Well done!

Thanksgiving Extrava-CAN-za? – It is time again to help out our Rehoboth food Pantry. As in the past, the students of Palmer River will be collecting canned and household goods to be distributed at the pantry. Typically, Palmer River students and their families do not disappoint! In years past we have collected an extraordinary number of cans. This year, we have set a goal to create upwards of 35 “Thanksgiving Meals”. The students will bring in common items as designated by their teacher. on November 14th, the items will be assembled into Thanksgiving baskets to be distributed by our Rehoboth food Pantry. for those wishing to participate, we will also collect $1 to go toward the purchase of a gift cards to be used for a turkey. In this season of abun-dance, consider those that are experiencing hardship for they will benefit from your own generosity. As you shop this month, don’t forget to pick up your “special” item!

Reading doesn’t take a lot of time, either. As a parent, finding the time to read to or with your child is not always easy. However, it is an investment that pays off in big divi-dends! Research shows that children who spend as little as 30 minutes a day reading books, magazines and newspapers are more likely to become good readers.

Raising a Reader: Getting Started - These easy-to-do activities are designed to build a solid foundation of family literacy at home.

Know your children. Before selecting books, make sure you know your child’s reading abilities and interests. Your school’s teacher or reading specialist can assess your child’s ability. Your child’s teacher or school/town librarian can make recommen-dations on age-appropriate books.

Set aside time for reading. designate a time of day when family members can read for pleasure. Make reading a part of your family routine.

Tips on the TurkeyHere are a few tips on how to cook your thanksgiving turkeys

from some of our kindergarten “chefs”:

find a turkey in the woods. Put it in a truck. Cut the feathers out. Wash him with a hose outside. Put him in a big giant pot. I would put a little butter on. Cook him in a crock pot. Cook him for 60 minutes. It’s going to ring when it is done!

Melina

Get a turkey at Stop and Shop and bring him home. Put him in the fridge. Take him out and take the paper off. Wash him in the sink. Put him in a pot. Clean his mouth. Cook him in the oven for 5 hours. Put him on a plate and put gravy on him. Chop him up (my dad does that). Then we eat him!

Angelina

I would get my turkey in my back yard. The feathers are every-where! Grab the feathers and put them in the feather pile. Wash him with the hose. Put him in a crock pot. Put bread on him. Cook him for 10 minutes. When the beeper goes off- that’s when he’s done. Take him out. Cut him up with a knife and eat him.

Family Literacy in NovemberParents are a child’s first and most influential teachers. family

literacy stresses the word “family,” as family members are essential in supporting learning at home, at school, and in the community. Parents play specific roles in children’s literacy development:

creating a literacy-rich environment sharing reading and writing activities acting as reading models demonstrating attitudes toward education A strong educational environment at home can be a major factor

in reinforcing the home-school connection.Read to Your Child - As parents, you should know that shared

learning and reading experiences are valuable gifts you can give your child. Reading is a key learning skill that will enable your child to become proficient in other areas. Reading aloud can also help your child become a better listener.


Make reading special. Children should feel as if having a book is special. Help them create a space for storing their books. However, if your child doesn’t show an interest or strong ability in reading, be patient, but don’t give up. Reading should be viewed as an enjoyable activity.

Use your local library. one of the best resources you will have as a parent is access to your community’s library. It costs nothing to borrow books. Many libraries also offer story hours and other fun literacy activities. Make visits to your library a routine activity.

Limit television time. Monitor program selection for your chil-dren. discuss programs with them. Have a “No-TV” night with your family on a regular basis. Read magazines, write letters to relatives living far away, or play charades or Scrabble as a refresh-ing alternative.

Coming November Events:November 11th – No School Veteran’s day observedNovember 15th – PTSA BINGoNovember 20th - Grade 3 banking with Bristol County Savings

BankNovember 21st – Early 12:15 dismissal – Teacher ConferencesNovember 27-29th – Thanksgiving Recess – No School

The first meeting of the School Council was held in the library on Tuesday, october 1st. The group is responsible for overseeing the budget, revising/updating the handbook, and identifying goals for the School Improvement Plan. The first order of business was to introduce our new members, Bethany Murphy, representative from the sophomore class, and Mrs. fournier, parent of a freshman. The group discussed the possibility of using an online system to register parents for sessions with faculty members at the Parent Conference Night in November. overall, those present thought it would help to cut down on the long lines waiting to speak to individual teachers. Parents will be receiving information prior to the conference evening which is November 21st.

I would like to take this opportunity to praise our faculty for the work they have been doing to ensure that we are in compliance with the many new state and federal mandates. I am sure that you have read about the many changes happening in education across the country. The following is a partial list of what your student’s teachers have been doing:

Preparing for a new evaluation system that will be aligned with state mandates (our Professional development day on Wednes-day will focus on creating SMART goals, developing a plan, and identifying artifacts/evidence)

Aligning curriculum to new Common Core StandardsEmbedding the new College and Career Readiness Standards

in curriculum documentsGetting ready for PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readi-

ness for College and Careers) to replace the current MCAS testingRegistering to participate in SEI training to meet the needs of

English language learners. The Senior Supper was a fantastic success thanks to the work of

the advisors to the Class of 2014, Ms. defusco and Ms. Kozlowski.

Some students even had the opportunity to watch the Patriots and Red Sox on the big screen TV on the top deck!

Angela Cunard, Chris Jones, Rosetta Spino, and I presented at the NEASC Model Schools Program on friday. We talked to a group of 75 educators about how we have embedded rubrics into the culture of the school and how we use them to report out on student progress. We wouldn’t have been there if not for the work of the staff. other schools were impressed with our use of school-wide and customized rubrics and requested follow-up information. We know that we need to continue working on the process of reporting out, but we are in a great place.

Thank you to Mr. Winsor for volunteering to serve as the advisor for a new club, The Political and Current Events Club. The purpose of the club is to allow students to learn about events that impact their lives in a setting outside of the classroom. Students will be able to select events and bring in articles for discussion every other Tuesday (1st and 3rd of each month). The club will meet in Mr. Win-sor’s room. I commend Shane McCormack, Michael Maxwell, and Lucas Walters for taking the initiative to start this club. All students are welcome to attend the meetings. They should see Mr. Winsor, Shane, Mike, or Lucas with any questions.

Teachers of Note – Some highlights from October

From Dr. Jones - Assistant PrincipalMr. Bonneau, Mrs. fitzgerald, Mr. Hoogerzeil, Mrs. Horton, Ms.

Kozlowski, Mrs. Mirza, and Ms. Wilson who teach in our alternative onTrack program do a great job motivating and teaching some of the most “at risk” students at Seekonk High School. The directed learning portion has been focusing their discussions and activities on topics such as; “What will your future bring?” and “What kind of reputation do you want?” The directed learning segment also had students take learning inventories. This helped them write letters to the rest of their teachers explaining how they best learn.

In her role as school psychologist, Ms. Kozlowski coordinates the high school special education department, performs testing, and facilitates the compliance of Individual Educational Plans. As co-advisor to the senior class, she worked to provide a unique experience for this class by organizing a Boston Harbor Cruise for this year’s Senior Supper. Ms. Kozlowski also regularly attends Student Support Team meetings in an effort to help any students who may be experiencing academic difficulty. Her knowledge in this area serves all of the other members well. As a member of both the Positive Behavioral Support Committee (PBIS) and School Council, Ms. Kozlowski works to shape school goals concerning both the academic and social needs of the building as a whole. She also helps facilitate the directed study portion of the onTrack Program. finally, Ms. Kozlowski serves as a co-advisor to the Peer Helping Network (PHN)/S.P.E.A.K. This group dedicated to creating a better culture in the school by addressing topics such as bullying and responsible decision making with their peers.

From Mrs. Whatley, Director of GuidanceThe guidance department hosted a new student lunch this

month. All of the students who were in school chose to attend and meet the other new students. We welcomed 20 new students to Seekonk High school from 6 different states in the country. They were all glad to meet each other, discussed their travels throughout the world and shared traditions from their previous schools.

Troop 1 Seekonk Mass Jam Trip by Jonathan Field

Just recently, Troop 1, Seekonk, MA took a trip to falmouth, Cape Cod, MA for a once (or twice if you’re lucky) in a lifetime experience to Mass Jam. This is a Boy Scout event that occurs once every five years. So naturally, if you have the opportunity to go, you really should. This is a play on words off of the National Jamboree, which is a similar event held every 5 years. The catch is that only New England is allowed to go to Mass Jam. The Mass in Mass Jam stands for Massachusetts, while the Jam is short for Jamboree. We started our descent from Briarwood Plaza, up near the old Grist Mill. Then we took a long trip down to East falmouth to the Barnstable County fairgrounds where every Troop participating set up camp. It was organized into sub-camps, about 6 in all. Troop 1, Seekonk stayed in sub-camp 3-B and stayed there for the week-end. We stayed from october 12- october 14. The first few hours we were there, we were mainly setting up our camp, and we went to an opening ceremony. It gave us some amazing history about Mass Jam, like that the first official Mass Jam was held in 1985. When we finished setting up camp, we had transformed it from a blank patch of land into a neat and organized campsite. Later that night, a little while after dinner, the Troop went to a campfire/concert. The reason for this name is that it was the same type of idea as a campfire (just without the fire as it was on a wooden stage) with skits, songs, cheers, and everyone had a great time. After the main event, the band came out on stage for the “grand finale” (that is meant sarcastically). The band wasn’t very good, but we were good sports and toughed it out as long as we could. When we returned to our camp, mostly everyone was tired, so we went to sleep. The following morning, after having breakfast, we went into the main field to play frisbee. We had a really fun time there, and everyone had a blast. Some of the Troop went to Church, which was held in the field sometime after we were finished playing. But the rest of us went to a program called S.T.E.M. We had to find it first though. The group that went there took 10 minutes to get there because they didn’t know where to go. S.T.E.M. means Science Technology Engineering and Mechanics. It was basically the science center of Mass Jam. After S.T.E.M. we went to the Bottle Rocket field, where the Scouts, Webelos, Venturers, were firing, or should I say watering, off Bottle Rockets pumped up with pressurized water. Some of the rockets went really high, while others didn’t go so high. one rocket even landed in the stands where the group was sitting! Afterwards, we headed up to the sports center and did human foosball! How that worked was there was a long pole that stretched from either side of the walls of the game. Then you always had to be holding the pole with both of your hands, and you could slide down and kick the ball, or hit it with your head. But no hands allowed to hit the ball, unless you were throwing in an out of bounds ball. All in all, it was very fun. After foosball, we went back to camp because it was lunchtime. We had hot dogs for lunch, with a side of bagged chips. one Scout had a problem with the mustard and got it all in his mess kit, which is what we eat out of on camping trips. The mustard just came out onto his hot dog, and spilled into his mess kit. We were

on him for it for the rest of the weekend, but he didn’t mind much. After lunch, we played frisbee in camp for 20 minutes, then went to the trading post. We were into a patch collecting activity, where you would collect and trade patches with other Scouts at Mass Jam. At night we played a game called “Hot seat” in which one person is tested to see if they know the word or phrase being hinted at by the rest of the players. We could hear the band playing, and that night they actually sounded good, so most of us decided to go to the concert once again. A few of us stayed behind and went to bed, as we were exhausted from all the activities we had done that day. The next morning, we had breakfast, broke down camp, missed the closing ceremony (which we didn’t mind), and went home. We all had a really great time.

November and the last of the leaves are falling. dried leaves blow and swirl in the wind and crunch beneath our feet. days are shorter and shorter and the smell of winter comes on the last of the autumn breezes. Amber light fills the house with the setting of the sun. Soon snow will come.

I remember as a child this was an exciting time of year, the an-ticipation of the holidays that are soon to come along with the winter school vacation. My sisters and I grew up just a few short blocks from the school. We attended the same school, Kernan School, from Kindergarten to 8th grade and never ever had to ride the bus. The elementary school section was an old three-story building with a single floor attachment where grades 7th and 8th were housed. We could actually hear “the bell” from the top of our street.

The walk to school was fully residential and tree lined. Pep-pered with maple and chestnut trees along the way. This made for many adventures throughout the years. Collecting exceptionally beautiful fallen leaves to be pasted onto a collage or pressed and preserved for future admiration or as we got older, stomping and

crunching the dried leaves or jumping into a pile of freshly raked leaves. occasionally we would hear a voice from behind a screen door calling to us kids to “stop that right now and move along”. At the time we couldn’t have realized how much work it is to rake a pile of leaves and how frustrating it must be to have some kids come along the destroy the result of all that hard work. of course this was before leaf blowers so it was all done with a rake…thinking about it now, I am so sorry…but it was fun.

Leaves made for good fun but the chestnut trees endowed sweet little treasures. I love chestnuts. often when they are ready the pod would fall crack and chestnuts would be everywhere. But from time to time the pod wouldn’t open this was my favorite. The chestnut pod is green thick and prickly. The chestnut’s cocoon. To little fingers this is rather large and very hard, opening was a chal-lenge. Sometimes I would just collect them and take the home for further examination but sometimes a small crack would offer a little finger the way in. Working carefully, as if the chestnut would break, I would wiggle a thumb into and around the pod, this was serious work for the chestnut pod has its prongs and can hurt if not handled correctly. I was an expert in such endeavors. Slowly opening the pod its treasure would be revealed. The birth of a chestnut, shiny beautiful reddish brown (I still love the color of chestnut) orb with a light brown top. oh what delight in the beautiful new chestnut. I would collect as many as I could carry and bring them home at the, not so much delight, of my mother who would later have to throw out shoe boxes filled with dried old chestnuts. But not be-fore my sister RayeAnn and I would make our chestnut jewelry or decorations. We designed chestnut bracelets, chestnut necklaces, chestnut and cranberry strings for decorating the house or the tree at Christmas. okay so maybe we were strange kids…don’t care. I still love the beauty of the chestnut and presently have a chestnut cranberry arrangement around a candle in my living room.

Chestnuts however, are really quite delicious. My brother-in-law david Haddad, would just score the top and put them in the microwave for a few seconds this would warm the meat of the nut and produce a wonderful healthy treat. If you try this be sure to use fresh nuts and score the top or the chestnut could explode and when you open be careful as depending on how long it’s been cooked it could be very hot.

I would be remiss if I didn’t talk a little bit about Thanksgiving the culinary holiday. What is more satisfying and celebratory than a meal shared with dear family and friends? I fear sometimes that Thanksgiving is no longer appreciated; I say this because I see Christmas decoration isles showing up in stores before Halloween. The history of Thanksgiving notwithstanding, this day to me and many is about taking the time to reflect on what we are thankful and hopeful for in the past and coming year. Life can be difficult, we live in trying times, and losing people we love can make holi-days seem nearly impossible or without meaning. Still there can be solace found in hope, joy and community in family and friends.

Give thanks, be well, seek joy and safe travels in this coming holiday season.
