BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAYVILLAGER STAFF WRITER

STURBRIDGE — Sunday, June 7marked the last time the nearly 300graduating students fromTantasqua Regional High Schoolwould sit together as classmates.

With students from both the aca-demic and technical divisions of theschool together for one last time,family, friends, teachers and admin-istrators all gathered to say goodbyeto the class of 2009.

People came from all over toattend the commencement services.Some came from Brookfield, somefrom Brimfield, some from Hollandand Wales, while others had the con-venience of having the graduationin their hometown, Sturbridge.

One came from Wyoming.Karin Boltz, possibly the proudest

grandparent in the Tantasqua FieldHouse, came to the graduation to seeher eldest granddaughter LaurenBoltz, receive her diploma.

Boltz explained that her son,Lauren’s father, passed away a littlemore than two years ago from abrain tumor, leaving behind threechildren.

In an incredible showing of fami-ly solidarity, Boltz boarded anAmtrak train in Cody, Wy., and madea 50-hour voyage to Massachusettsto support her granddaughter.

“It’s worth it,” Boltz said, laugh-ing over the thought of her impend-ing 50-hour return trip.

Boltz was obviously not the onlygrandparent beaming with prideand adulation at Tantasqua onSunday.

Roy and Pat Laske were also pres-ent, celebrating the graduation of

their first grandchild too, DeannaLaske.

“I can’t believe that she’s grownup so fast,” Pat Laske said, lookingback over the last 18 years. “Theyears go by so fast.”

“She’s our first granddaughter,”Roy Laske said. “We’re very proudof her.”

While hundreds of congratula-tions were tossed around for aca-demic accomplishments andawards, some students and familymembers will most fondly remem-ber athletics and other school activ-

ities when looking back at the classof ’09’s time at Tantasqua.

Russ Chamberland attendedSunday’s graduation in support ofhis niece Sally Chamberland.

An Emergency MedicalTechnician (EMT), Chamberlandworked as the resident medic forTantasqua field hockey games inwhich Sally played.

“I worked most of the homegames,” said Chamberland, whowill miss watching his niece playingfield hockey and basketball.


STURBRIDGE — Twenty-fiveaverage citizens from surround-ing towns, all with a penchant forhelping their community, walkedaway from the Sturbridge PublicSafety Complex Saturday, May 30as the newest members of thelocal CERT — CommunityEmergency Response Team.

The CERT program was firstestablished in the 1980s by the LosAngeles Fire Department inresponse to situations caused byearthquakes, during which vic-tims or whole areas were notaccessible to professional emer-gency workers. The goal of theprogram then, as it is now, was toprepare citizens to be able to takecare of themselves and theirneighbors in the event of a disas-ter that leaves them on their own.

The CERT program was adopt-ed as a national program by theFederal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA) in 1993. Sincethen, 28 states plus Puerto Ricohave instituted CERT teams intheir communities.

“If you take care of yourself,you’re one less person we have to

worry about,” Sturbridge Lt. AlanCurboy said during the firstCERT class on April 15.

“That whole ‘neighbors helpingneighbors’ thing does work,”Curboy said after the final exer-cise of the CERT team, a simulat-ed disaster requiring participantsto use the skills they learned dur-

ing the eight-week trainingcourse.

The training covered a myriadof topics ranging from how toproperly use a fire extinguisher tohow to protect yourselves and oth-ers from potential terroristattacks.

ConCom backs Fish and Wildlife


STURBRIDGE — TheConservation Commission votedThursday, June 4, to support the StateDepartment of Fish and Wildlife’sHamant Brook Restoration Plan.

The Commission voted 3-2 to

endorse the heavily debated plan, butwill remain vigilant of the stateagency’s progress throughout theentire process.

“They would have to come beforeus for a bazillion things,” saidChairman of the ConservationCommission David Barnicle, explain-ing that by endorsing the proposal,they are merely allowing the studyphase to begin, to see what, if any,funds are available for the projectand that the state department wouldbe working closely with theCommission on all major issues thatmay come up.

“All of this is really structured,”Barnicle said. “There’s lot of checkpoints,” he added, indicating addi-tional public meetings will be heldduring the planning process.

“Once they apply, they wouldinvolve the Conservation

Commission in the applicationprocess,” Barnicle said.

The first step in working towardsriver restoration, Barnicle said, is todraft a letter of support to Fish andWildlife to be included in their over-all funding proposal.

The proposal, which will alsoinclude a number of ecological andwater studies that must be conductedbefore it is submitted, will be used to

STURBRIDGE — Potential developers of aservice station next to the former Rom’sRestaurant have still not been approved bytown officials.

At a continuation of a previous public hear-ing on Tuesday, June 2, the SturbridgePlanning Board heard from Mike Loin ofBurton Engineering, the engineer in charge ofthe potential project, about some of the specif-ic aspects of a possible gasoline and servicestation planned for what is currently the park-ing lot next to the Rom’s building, which is itsown parcel with a separate address.

Joseph Daou, owner of the Shell gas stationon Route 169 in Southbridge, recentlyacquired the parcel at 173 Main St. inSturbridge, on which he plans to open anotherestablishment featuring a convenience storein addition to the auto-related services.

The initial plan, as it was presented to thePlanning Board a couple weeks ago alsoincluded a carwash on the site. That featurehas since been removed from the plan, as thecurrent Commercial zoning of the land wouldrequire an additional special permit.

Some people attending the hearing raisedconcerns about the traffic impact of a gas sta-tion at the locale, situated on the corner ofShepard Road and Route 131.

“I just think this is overburdening thatsite,” said Marge Cooney, a former member ofthe Planning Board and Zoning Board ofAppeals who served during several site planreviews for similar establishments that nowexist in town.

Cooney said that taking a left turn offShepard Road is already a hazard at times,and by adding a commercial entity that, bynature, would attract more cars, the danger atthe intersection would only increase.

“That to me is begging for an accident,”Cooney said.

Citing the first chapter of the town ofSturbridge’s zoning bylaws, Cooney said, “Idon’t see where we’re ‘promoting the healthand safety of future and present inhabitants’and I think we have an obligation to do that.”

Conrad Decker, director of real estate forDrake Petroleum who had previously workedwith Loin on other gas station-type projects,also raised concerns with the configuration ofthe proposed facility.

Decker’s main concern was the amount ofspace on the lot, and how it is going to be uti-lized according to the proposed plan.

Even with the removal of the carwash fromthe proposal, Decker said, “there’s still quite abit of activity going on on this site.”

Not counting the spaces for cars directly infront of the gas pumps, Loin’s design for thefacility has the necessary minimum of 24parking spaces. According to Decker however,a good portion of those spaces will be ren-dered useless because of positioning either infront of the dumpster that must remain acces-sible or in the way of the delivery trucks thatmust go in and out of the station.

“To legitimize those parking spaces, theloading zone should be somewhere else,”

Decker said of the handful of spots that wouldpotentially be cut off from the rest of the sta-tion if a delivery truck were present.

The Planning Board is currently awaitingthe results of a review of the traffic study onthe area by consultants at Fuss and O’NeilEngineering.

Additional concerns that were raised at thehearing included noise and light pollutionaffecting the neighboring motels, and the mer-its of landscaping instead of fences to delin-eate the property line between the gas stationand the Rom’s building.

The hearing regarding the potential servicestation and convenience store will reconveneat 6:35 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14 at the SeniorCenter.

STURBRIDGE — After cutting funds for the Police Department bynearly $75,000 the voters of Sturbridge accepted the town’s fiscal 2010budget.

“As everybody’s aware we continued our Annual Town Meetingfrom the last Monday in April to tonight so we could get a betterfinancial picture,” Town Administrator James Malloy said.

As of the Monday, June 8 meeting however, the state had still notfinalized a budget, although both the House and Senate had complet-ed their individual recommended budgets — the House recommend-ing $3,050,000 in allocations for Sturbridge and the Senate $3,135,000.

“We took an average of the two, the Senate number and the Housenumber,” Malloy said, explaining the rationale behind calculations.

Besides a reduction in state receipts, Malloy indicated that just ason the state level, local monetary figures have gone down as well.

“Local revenues have dropped off significantly,” Malloy said, duein large part to a decline in motor vehicle excise taxes and intereston earnings.

“We saw about $139,000 drop-off in our revenue picture,” Malloysaid, though adding that if the state Legislature can successfullyclose the telecommunications loophole, the town will be able to col-lect thousands in property taxes from Verizon.

The approved budget of $22,967,231 reflects a $73,792 decrease inthe Police budget, leaving that department’s operating budget at$1,796,405 instead of the $1,870,197 that was originally recommendedby the Finance Committee.

While $13,000 came from overtime expenses and approximately$50,000 from cumulative salaries, more than $10,000 — or 12 1/2 per-cent — was taken directly from Police Chief Thomas Ford’s salary,going from approximately $102,000 to $92,000 for the year.

“What was reduced was 50 percent of the Quinn that I get,” Fordexplained, referring to the Quinn Bill, a state funding mechanismthat matches a certain percentage of a municipalities contributionto police salaries.

The reduction in cumulative salaries at the Police Department wasalso a measure taken because of the predicted reduction in Quinnfunds.

Following the meeting, Ford said he wasdisappointed with the move, saying, “It’s asign of the times,” and acknowledging thatpassage of the state’s final budget still loom-ing on the horizon, the department’s fiscalsituation could improve, or it could potential-

ly get worse.After the vote on the budget, with amendments, was made, the con-

tinuation of the Annual Town Meeting was closed and three SpecialTown Meetings were consecutively opened. The event was conduct-ed that in accordance to charter procedure which states that allSpecial Town Meetings held on the same nights as Annual TownMeetings must follow the annual.

In one of the Specials, the town voted to grant Pioneer BrewingCompany a tax incentive on their impending development at the for-mer Basketville site on the corner of Cedar Street and Route 20.

The intended use of the plot is for a microbrewery and restaurant.The tax incentive will allow a 50 percent discount on property tax

fees for the first year of Pioneer’s ownership of the land. The incen-tive will decrease by 10 percent each year for five years until the taxrate is no longer discounted.

The discounted was granted “as an incentive to redevelop thatproperty,” Malloy said.

At the beginning of the meeting, Chairman of the Board ofSelectmen Mary Blanchard presented Malloy with a plaque as ashowing of appreciation for his service to Sturbridge since 1994.

As he departed his final town meeting as a Sturbridge official,Malloy said he has learned a lot from the many meetings in which heplayed an integral role.

“We have a very organized town meeting in Sturbridge,” Malloysaid. “It’s been very enjoyable over the years.”

Several weeks after nearly beingscammed, by phone, out of $3,000, Carol W.wishes she had recourse against the peoplewho targeted her.

“It is lousy, they are getting away withit,” the 68-year-old widow said.

Targets of these types of scams, however,are not without legal options, whether theyfall victim to the hoaxes or not fend offtrouble. Various types of charges can befiled against phone scammers, according tolocal and federal officials. Often times,however, authorities are unable to trackdown the perpetrators making it impossi-ble to charge them.

If the scammer is located, several typesof charges can be filed, according toLeicester Police Chief James Hurley. Ifsomebody shells out the money to a scam-mer, police can charge the perpetrator withlarceny over $250, larceny by scheme or lar-ceny by false pretenses. Even if the victimdoes not pay the money, a scammer can alsobe charged with attempting to commit acrime, Hurley said, along with harassing orannoying phone calls.

Victims can also file civil lawsuitsagainst scammers, according to FederalTrade Commission (FTC) spokesman PeterTorok.

“In our lawsuits, we are primarily look-

ing to getting consumers money back,” hesaid.

But there is one caveat to seeking civilactions with the FTC. Torok said hisagency would only file suit if they identifya scam against a large group of victims.The FTC does not have the resources to filesuits on behalf of individuals, he said. If asuit is filed, it typically claims the scam-mer has used “unfair or deceptive acts orpractices.” An example — the scammermaking a false statement that influences aperson’s decision to do business withanother party, according to Torok.

Often, though, both types of legal optionsare impossible because authorities can’tlocate the culprits.

“Sometimes [locating scammers] can bequite a challenge,” Torok said.

Culprits often take steps to hide theiridentities, such as closing their companyand opening another entity under a differ-ent name, but they still attempt the samescams, Torok said. Many of the scammersare based in other countries, further com-plicating attempts to locate them, accord-ing to Torok.

“That presents an even additional set ofchallenges,” he said.

Even if the federal government locatesthe scammer aboard, with the help of a for-eign government, legal action can only betaken in the United States, Torok said.

Another obstacle also complicates anylegal options, according to Hurley. Even if acriminal case could be filed against a scam-mer, authorities often have to decidewhether to inform the public of the hoax isa better option to avoiding future scamsinstead of bringing charges, Hurley said.

“We very rarely bring charges,” Hurleysaid, noting they receive 10 reports annual-ly.

Some attempts to find a legal solution tophone scam activity have been successful.

The need for legal options is obvious.Last year, the FTC received 1.2 million

reports of phone scam activity; 26 percentof them were related to identity theft,according to Torok.

“Each year it goes up. It is an increasefrom last year,” he said.

Torok said the increase might be due tomore people reporting the activity, not nec-essarily an increase in it.

In the criminal realm, Hurley said hisdepartment reviews reports and deter-mines whether to pursue it, based on thecircumstances. If they scammers areabroad, the police forward the report to fed-eral authorities.

STURBRIDGE — For civilians,Memorial Day — besides all the flagwaving and pats on the back — isseen as the beginning of the sum-mer season. For veterans, such a dayis a show of support that many arein need of all year round.

On Tuesday, June 16, theMassachusetts Department ofVeteran Services will host a livewebcast to help guide recentlyreturned veterans to the properservices they require.

“It’s education,” said SturbridgeVeterans Agent ThomasChamberland. “That’s what the web-cast is all about. It’s getting the wordout to veterans that this stuff isavailable to them if they want it.”

The 90-minute presentation willdiscuss different health related,social and other services and pro-grams available to not only veter-ans, but their families as well.

“Every person deals with thestress of serving their country in a

combat situation differently,”Chamberland said. “Home life mayhave changed, kids grow up, rela-tionships change and all of thesecan have various affects on thereturning veterans.”

Sturbridge Selectman ThomasCreamer, a veteran of 10 years in theU.S. Marine Corps, agrees withChamberland about the uniquestresses facing soldiers when theyreturn.

“Many veterans when they comehome, despite the support servicesavailable to them … people don’treally understand what they’restruggling with,” Creamer said,explaining that the transition frombattlefield to home can sometimesoccur in less than 36 hours, makingacclimation to civilian life, or “repa-triation,” very difficult.

“You find yourself, often times,alone, or you feel alone,” Creameradded.

As a result, according to a 2003study conducted by the U.S.Department of Health and Human

Services’ Substance Abuse andMental Health Administration,approximately two million — or 6percent — of combat veterans devel-oped narcotic or alcohol dependen-cies upon returning home.

According to Chamberland, thereare a multitude of programsdesigned to assist men and womenof the armed forces ease into civil-ian life. Unfortunately, those servic-es are not in the immediate area.

“The best place to be is within theVA (Veterans Administration)health care system,” Chamberlandsaid. “The nearest facilities are inWorcester.”

Chamberland went on to say thattransportation to the VA facility isavailable to those who need it.

“If a veteran needs to get to theVA facility, the VA will provided thetransportation,” he said.

As Veterans Agent, Chamberlandsaid he will assist any Sturbridgearea veterans in finding the servicesthey require.

“[I’ll] not only point them in the

right direction but help them get tothat direction too,” Chamberlandsaid.

To contact Chamberland or formore information on veterans’ serv-ices in Sturbridge visit the VeteransAgent page at www.town.stur-bridge.ma.us.

Creamer, while commendingChamberland’s efforts in theSturbridge community, said onnationwide scale the “reality justdoesn’t match the rhetoric.”

Acknowledging that some VA hos-pitals are top notch, Creamer saidhe has witnessed what he calledsome “horrendous” medical facili-ties for veterans, saying the promiseof the national government to takecare of the people that volunteer tofight its conflicts has not been kept.

“Physically and emotionally,many of these folks feel like they’rebeing ignored,” Creamer said.

State lawmakers are now recog-nizing the plight of service men andwomen as well.

“The men and women of our

nation’s armed forces put their liveson the line to keep out country safe,”said state Rep. Todd M. Smola, R-Palmer. “ We owe each and everyone of them our sincere thanks anda promise to support them at alltimes.”

Tuesday’s webcast will feature aninteractive component wherein vet-erans and their relatives can askquestions via instant messaging.

“This webcast is a great way forthe state to get the word out on howwe can help and what we have tooffer. I fully encourage veterans andtheir families to get involved in thisdiscussion,” Smola added.

The Internet discussion begins at7 p.m. and can be accessed throughwww.WeOweU.org.

“I do hope it’ll be a benefit tofolks,” Creamer said. “If only oneveteran benefits from that, it’s agreat thing.”

LEARNINGTantasqua students work to control brook erosion


STURBRIDGE — Nineteen stu-dents from Tantasqua RegionalHigh School last week, donatedtheir time, energy and elbowgrease to help improve water qual-ity in the Quinebaug River.

They did so by planting erosion-controlling vegetation alongHamant Brook, near a pair of foot-bridges that were crafted andinstalled by carpentry studentsfrom the high school earlier thisyear.

Prior to constructing thebridges, Sturbridge ConservationAgent Erin Jacque explained, thebrook had to be cleared of debrisdeposited by strong rainstorms lastfall. The machinery needed to dothat work had a detrimental impactto the shoreline plants in that areaof the former Camp RobinsonCrusoe (CRC).

“That’s when all this vegetationhere got disturbed,” Jacque said,standing on the bank of HamantBrook last Thursday, June 4, afterthe students’ working sessionthere.

Environmental Science teacherDarcy Foley said the idea to helpjumpstart the ground cover atHamant Brook came not only as afollow up to the bridge project, butis a new element to an annual proj-ect that examines the water qualityin different locations throughoutthe Quinebaug River Watershed.

A primary component of theproject is a look at what effects soilerosion has on the aquatic ecology.

“We did a lot of research,” saidSeth Carlson, one of the studentswho helped out at Hamant Brook.

“The erosion destroys the waterquality for the whole entire river,”Carlson continued. “It destroyseverything, habitat, trees, every-thing.”

With no roots in the ground tostabilize shoreline soil, over time,sediment will deposit in the water-way. The more sediment in thewater, the more sunlight is

absorbed, raising the temperatureof the water. With the spike in tem-perature, comes reduced levels ofoxygen to sustain aquatic life.

The best way to control the ero-sion of sediment into waterways isto maintain substantial vegetationalong the banks.

Before the students could movethe first shovelful of dirt, they andfour senior class students who hadcompleted their school year priorto the planting project, researcheddifferent types of plants and creat-ed a plan of how and where itwould all be installed.

“It’s really comparable to whatwe would see from a professionalconsultant,” Jacque said the plan.

Carlson said the two week draft-ing process concluded with a com-puter assisted design (CAD) ren-dering of a map that included thebest ideas from a number of differ-ent proposals developed by stu-dents.

“We really got a taste of what youhave to do,” said Garrett Dana,

another student involved with theproject. “It’s a lot of planningbefore.”

The plants the students decidedto use, which are all native species,include blue wood aster, trailingarbutus, sweet fern, buttonbush,speckled alder, sweet gale andswamp rose, as well as birch, larchand spruce trees.

“All of the plants,” Jacque said,“have really strong root systemsthat basically work to hold the soilin place.”

“Once they get established,they’ll provide nice cover,” Jacqueadded.

All of the plants were provided

for the project by the ConservationCommission and Tree WardenThomas Chamberland.

Jacque said that from the town’sstandpoint, volunteer projects suchas this are invaluable.

“We don’t get a lot of publicfunds for labor projects out here,”Jacque said, explaining that shehas worked in a similar capacity intwo other communities and hasseen an incredible passion for landstewardship in Sturbridge.

“In Sturbridge, it’s been reallyunusual, and unusual in a goodway,” she continued.

Foley said there is an equal bene-fit to the students for doing the

work.“We do like to keep them

involved in the community,” Foleysaid. “It gives them a sense of prideand ownership of their communi-ty.”

Student Kelly Kirkpatrick saidhe enjoyed the project primarilybecause he got to be outside work-ing with his hands.

“I had fun,” Kirkpatrick said.“It’s a lot of fun helping and learn-ing stuff outside.”

Debate renewed over Tantasqua resource officerBY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY

VILLAGER STAFF WRITER

STURBRIDGE — For the sec-ond time this year, the FinanceCommittee has, in a public forum,expressed concern over the lack ofa full-time police officer stationedat Tantasqua High School.

“My missionis to see thisresource officerin place on thefirst day ofschool inAugust, and Idon’t care howhe’s funded, orshe’s funded,”said FinanceCommittee mem-

ber Priscilla Gimas who has alsoserved as education liaison for thepast year.

At a Monday, June 1 meeting ofthe Board of Selectmen, theFinance Committee raised theissue that they see as a dire one.

The concern stemmed from theFinance Committee’s responsibil-ity to make suggestions to othertown entities, and what they per-ceived as a lack of action when theissue was first raised.

“The state law requires theFinance Committees throughoutthe state to examine the town’sfinances and make recommenda-tions on them to the townspeo-ple,” explained FinanceCommittee member LarryMorrison.

Gimas said that during her timeas education liaison, she learnedthe resource officer’s position — afull-time Sturbridge police officerat the school — which was origi-nally in place through grant fund-ing, had not been active for sever-al years since the grant expired.

At a March 11 budget hearingwith the Tantasqua RegionalSchool Committee, the FinanceCommittee, along with Dr. SusanWaters-Summer, presented theirconcerns to what some memberssaw as an unreceptive audience.Waters-Summer’s doctoral thesisfocused on rural regional high

school safety.“We can’t pretend Columbine

couldn’t happen here,” Waters-Summer said following that hear-ing. “It happens in rural America,not in big cities.”

“They brushed her off, it wasalmost insulting. If the subjectwasn’t serious, it would have beenhumorous,” Morrison said of theSchool Committee’s reaction toWaters-Summer’s presentation.

The minutes of that March 11meeting in fact do not note thespecific concerns raised by theFinance Committee or Waters-Summer that night.

“I’m very, very disappointed inthe Superintendent and theSchool Committee,” Gimas saidTuesday of what she sees as apa-thy toward the matter.

“You’ve got 1,300 students there.With only a principal, assistantprincipal and a dean of students,that’s not enough support for theadministration,” Gimas contin-ued.

Daniel G. Durgin,Superintendent of the TantasquaRegional School District, who hadnot heard the concerns voicedMonday night prior to being con-tacted by a reporter, said that withan additional principal in thetechnical division of the highschool, 168 teachers plus aids andsupport staff, that Tantasqua’sfaculty to student ratio is “veryconsistent with other schools inthe state.”

“We’re well within the norm,”Durgin added, refuting the claimthat the administration would notbe able to handle the student bodyin the event of an emergency.

Despite a milder reception oftheir ideas than some of theFinance Committee memberswere looking for from the Board ofSelectmen on Monday, they stillplan on charging ahead to achievetheir goal.

“I think they heard, I think theydidn’t listen,” Morrison said ofthe Selectmen, excluding ThomasCreamer who was the only personon the five member board to vocal-

ly support the Finance Committeewhole heartedly.

“We would rather engender ani-mosity toward ourselves and havea resource officer then make nice-nice and put the kids at greatrisk,” Morrison said of theFinance Committee.

Chairman of the Board ofSelectmen Mary Blanchard wasclear in her understanding of thebenefits of having a resource offi-cer and acknowledged the merit ofthe Finance Committee’s recom-mendation, but was careful toremain fair to the taxpayers ofSturbridge and not immediatelyjump behind a plan to fund aregional resource with onlySturbridge dollars.

In March, the FinanceCommittee had estimated that itwould cost approximately $50,000to put a resource officer in place.According to Blanchard, whenyou factor in benefits, the billcould increase to nearly $80,000 —$80,000 the town does not have atits disposal.

“I did get the tone from theFinance Committee that we werein opposition, but that’s certainlynot the case,” Blanchard said.“Even if we determined that wewanted it and we could find themoney, it’s not our final say, it’s upto Dan Durgin and the TantasquaRegional School Committee.”

“No one negates the safety issueof all the students,” Blanchardadded. “There’s a whole process.It’s not up to the Selectmen.”

Durgin said he would be infavor of re-establishing a resourceofficer in the school if the funds todo so were available outside theregular Tantasqua budget.

“We’ve never funded the schoolresource officer,” Durgin said. “Iwould be 100 percent in support,but to use education funds whenthey’re shrinking is certainly notwhat I would be recommending.”

Currently, Sturbridge PoliceChief Thomas J. Ford is waitingon the results of a competitivegrant that, if awarded, would fundtwo fulltime officers, one of which

would serve as the resource offi-cer.

“We just got acknowledgementthat the grant is being processed,”Ford said of the Hiring RecoveryProgram, issued through the U.S.Department of Justice’s office ofCommunity Oriented PolicingServices (COPS).

Ford, who has put in personnelrequests for the position very yearsince he assumed the role of Chiefin 2006, said the grant awardsshould be announced in lateSeptember.

“I have always submitted toreclaim that position, but it wouldrequire an increase in staffinghere,” Ford said. “We’re hopingwe can recover that positionthrough that grant.”

Morrison, who said he was toldby Ford that “a ghastly occur-rence,” is inevitable inTantasqua’s future, has a plan forfair distribution of the burden ofpaying for the officer.

“Why not have each town pitchin an amount of money as a per-centage of its own student repre-sentation in the total school popu-lation of about 1,300 and do itevery year, shifting the percentageas the student body compositionshifts?” Morrison said. “We’llhave the cop and the kids will besafer.”

“We know it’s going to happenbecause Tantasqua is part of theUnited States of America and it ishappening, and the Police Chief isforecasting it will, and theFinance Committee believeshim,” Morrison continued. “Lookwhat is at stake if we don’t believehim and we don’t act.”

A meeting of the Board ofSelectmen, Finance Committee,Sturbridge representatives of theTantasqua School Committee,Ford and Durgin is tentativelyscheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Monday,June 15 at the Senior Center.

STURBRIDGE — You couldn’t askfor a better day to take a strollthrough the community.

That’s just what the SturbridgePlanning Department did onSaturday, June 6 as it, along withJonathan Church of the CentralMass. Regional PlanningCommission (CMRPC), hosted awalkable community workshop.

The goal of the workshop was tolook at different ways of makingdowntown, particularly the Route 20corridor in the Commercial TouristDistrict, more hospitable to pedes-trians.

In a brief presentation to thegroup that consisted of PlanningBoard members, representatives ofthe Board of Selectmen, police,Trails Committee and a handful ofinterested citizens, Churchexplained that having a walkablecommunity has a myriad of positiveeffects on a town and the people init.

“Walkability doesn’t focus onmobility, it focuses on access andhow to get there,” Church said.

Some examples of the accessChurch referred to include differentangles and designs for ingress andegress from driveways and streetcorners making sidewalks moreeasily traversed by the elderly, hand-icapped or those pushing a stroller.

Crosswalks made of brick orpressed concrete, which visiblystand out from the rest of the road-

way, and are designed with a slightangle to increase sight lines also canimprove the accessibility of differ-ent features of the town such asstores, shops and offices.

Raising crosswalks a little bithigher than the roadway, Churchexplained, is also a method of “traf-fic calming,” or slowing down,which contributes to walker safetyas well.

Adding buffers zones like trees,benches, trash receptacles or evenon street parking can help the over-all atmosphere of pedestrian areas,more definitively separating themfrom the street.

Even simple measures like widen-ing existing sidewalks can have ahuge impact on the attractiveness ofan area to a pedestrian.

“A recommended sidewalk widthis five feet,” Church said, indicatingthat not many sidewalks are evenwide enough to accommodate twopeople walking side-by-side.

Impediments such as utility poles,mailboxes and other objects on thesidewalk can also hinder walkabili-ty on a narrow walkway.

Church explained that not onlydoes improved walkability increasethe amount of people out and aboutin town; it could potentially helpbusinesses along Route 20 that arecurrently not very contiguous whentraveling on foot.

Besides the benefits to the town,Church said by providing a safeenvironment for people to walkaround, the overall health of the

community improves as well.“It’s good for your heart, good for

your brain, good for your immunesystem and your bones,” Churchsaid.

After his presentation, the grouptook a short walking tour of the sec-tion of Main Street form the inter-section of Arnold Road to theCrescent Gate adult community toassess some of the needs of thatimmediate area.

Sidewalks on the westbound sideof the road only, large gaps betweencrosswalks and other things identi-fied as inhospitable to walkers wereall taken into consideration duringthe last portion of the workshopwhen the group brainstormed on alist of suggestions that wouldimprove the walking atmosphere ofSturbridge’s downtown.

Suggestions included wideningsidewalks, lights placed aroundcrosswalks, completing sidewalkson both sides of the street, creatinga park and municipal parking lotsand creating a bicycle trail connect-ing Route 20 to the Grand TrunkTrail.

Following the workshop,Chairman of the Planning BoardSandra Gibson-Quigley said, “Themore of this information that getsout now … the more these ideas willkeep percolating.”

By the end of the summer, thePlanning Board will be working onupdating the town’s Master Plan, aswell as beginning work on theDowntown Revitalization Plan, both

of which will benefit from increasedwalkability.

Gibson-Quigley said that whilethe concepts discussed at Saturday’sworkshop are not necessarily newones, refreshing them in the mindsof the Planning Board would make

sure they are included in the upcom-ing planning projects.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT, CMRPC HOST WEEKEND STROLL, WORKSHOP


Ihope you don’t mind, but today we mustwax somewhat philosophical. And a tadpoetical, perhaps.

What inspires the philosophizing is the so-called “news,” which of late (and of late-evening TV broadcasts) too often tends to

demoralize and discourage.Last week, the thirdMassachusetts Speaker ofthe House in a row wasindicted on charges of cor-ruption; another 520,000Americans became unem-ployed in May (althoughthis was seen as “improve-ment” over previousmonths in 2009); every dayor two another Bay State“senior driver” mistakes thegas pedal for the brake pedaland either enters Wal-Martby way of an unauthorizedentrance or plows into acrowd of shoppers, mourn-ers, or schoolchildren;

Americans are being murdered in church, atrecruitment centers, on street corners, and intheir living rooms watching TV; oh, and taxesand T-fares are significantly up, while all sortsof public services are down.

“Quit watching the late-night news,” youmight suggest. Good advice, I’ll admit, but the“eye-opener” and Good Morning versions areno less discouraging — just a bit perkier intheir delivery of disastrous information:“More in a minute on that mid-Atlantic planecrash that took the lives of all 228 passengersand crew — but first a look at First Dog Bo ashe piddles on Al’s shoes and runs off with ourcameraman’s battery pack!”

I know it’s important to be informed, butthere’s something about the modern plethoraof information that is disheartening no mat-ter what the context, content, or conse-quences. Despite President Obama’s recentgoodwill (some would say “apology”) toursaround the world, many Americans feelabused, misused, ignored, and mistreated.Locally and globally, we have too many guidedmissiles in the hands of misguided men, toomany smart bombs being deployed by igno-rant leaders, too many career politicianscrowding too few real statesmen out of publicservice.

Fortunately, however, we also still havehope.

Despite the corruption, greed, malfeasance,and plain old mistakes, we have evidence ofincreased involvement on the part of manyconcerned citizens in hopes of bringing aboutmeaningful change. At least on the local level.(This month’s local elections in Southbridge,for example, include actual choices for TownCouncil seats, School Committee and clerkpositions; this is good. Let the debates begin!)With such options and choices and meaning-ful debate comes hope.

Hope, of course, is what Emily Dickinsoncalled “the thing with feathers — That perch-es in the soul — And sings the tune withoutthe words — And never stops — at all ... “ It’salso what, according to Alexander Pope,“springs eternal in the human breast” andwhat, according to Proverbs 13:12, “makeththe heart sick” when it’s too long deferred.According to Shakespeare, “True hope isswift, and flies with swallow’s wings,” whileTerence (Publius Terentius Afer) suggeststhat “While there’s life, there’s hope.”

More recently, President Lyndon BainesJohnson offered: “We hope that the world willnot narrow into a neighborhood before it hasbroadened into a brotherhood,” and CharlesRevson noted that, “In the factory we makecosmetics; in the store we sell hope.”

It’s probably worth noting that hope is ingreater demand than ever nowadays. We lookfor it everywhere, in everything, and grasp forit even when it’s only a mirage. It’s also worthnoting that we hope for some things, while wehope in others. The latter are more preferred,I believe, since they are the eternal, the stal-wart, the trusted purveyors of hope, asopposed to the fleeting, misleading, transitoryversions that tease and entice but never reallyprovide.

Things hoped for can be as personal as a job,a home, a friend, increased happiness orhealth.

A little more than a month ago, I managed tosmash a finger (Never yell “Down!” to the guywith the pallet jack and 2,000 pounds of cargoon it unless you really mean it!), and I’ve beenhoping ever since for a finger that will, simply,look and feel again just like a finger. After 10days, the stitches were removed, but the fingerlooked terrible. After three weeks, it stilllooked and felt beyond repair, but at fourweeks it shed the remains of mangled fleshand took on the look of an actual digit. At fiveweeks, it now resembles a human finger andgives me hope that it will soon also feel theway it once did. Regeneration is wonderful; itcan be physical, spiritual, or emotional. It canbe a product of — or even a precursor to —hope.

Writer John H. Groberg suggests, “There isalways hope. No matter how dismal thingsappear, no matter how problem-prone we seemto be, no matter what reversals and setbackswe suffer, there is always hope. Hope is thething that keeps us going.”

I believe — and sincerely hope — he’s right.

To the Editor:I would like to make residents aware of the

costs they may incur if the Department ofFish & Game’s proposal for dam removal andstream restoration of Hamant Brook is notapproved. This is the beginning of the “cha-ching” to residents’ purses:

*The Conservation Commission hasalready spent voter-approved funds — $12,000— for a second opinion for dam repairs. Thatsecond opinion said basically the same thingas the first estimate, except that it also includ-ed a replacement cost for the two dams, at $1.2million. CME engineers quote stated: “Thegeneral improvements that would need to beperformed to bring the dams in to acceptablecondition are listed below.” The estimate forthe two dams is $517,000. Inter-Fluve, Inc isthe first engineering firm hired by theDepartment of Fish & Game; I spoke with theauthor of that report, Marty Melchior, whosaid: “The dams are in poor enough conditionthat they should undergo rigorous inspec-tions and testing.” Inter-Fluve’s estimate torepair is $487,000. These costs will be borneby taxpayers, in addition to costs for inspec-tions, permitting, design, and maintenance.

*A request in the amount of $15,200 wasjust submitted by Conservation Commissionto Finance in order to pay for Phase I inspec-tions, which are due in August and October,2009. If both dams are found to be in “poor” or“unsafe” condition, that will lead to Phase IIinspections, which are more expensivebecause they require drilling, watering, andstabilization tests.

*The Sturbridge Conservation agent is cur-rently so overwhelmed with her existingduties, that she has requested an additionalpart-time person to help out in the office.

Sturbridge is in a fiscally positive positionright now, and it is a shame to see moneyspent needlessly. As a resident, I find it veryfrustrating that the ConservationCommission has sole custody, care, and con-trol over a property for which it does not havefunds to steward and maintain, yet the deci-sion to spend half a million dollars rests witha five-member commission?

Flag Day a time to remember flag etiquetteTo the Editor,

America, it is time. Time to recognize thatour flag is not just a piece of colorful cloth.Our National Anthem is not just a bunch ofwords and music. They are symbols of free-dom, symbols of the greatest country onearth, and symbols that command respect.

However, it seems there are those that donot care, do not pay tribute or I would like tobelieve, have never given thought or have for-gotten the fact there is a United States FlagCode. Proof lies in the fact during theMemorial Day parades, observers were seenjust standing at the roadside, talking, laugh-ing and a few standing with their right handsover their hearts. During the pre-race cere-monies for NASCAR races, the public addressannouncers ask for people to stand followedby “Gentlemen, remove your hats.” Theyhave to be told? Come on America, you shouldnot have to be told.

Please allow me to point out in short whatthe Flag Code says is proper. Please also passthis on to those who may be next to you atevents so that at some point in time maybe we

can get all America paying tribute as weshould to our flag and country. Let us addressthe points we have just talked about by print-ing them in bold letters.

Conduct during hoisting, lowering or pass-ing of the Flag and during the playing of theNational Anthem: When the flag is passing ina parade or review or during the playing ofthe National anthem, all present and in uni-form should render the military salute. Allother persons present should face the flag orstand at attention with the right hand ooverthe heart or, if applicable, remove their headcovering with their right hand and hold it atthe left shoulder, the hand being over theheart. Citizens of other countries presentshould stand at attention.

Flag Day is June 14. I hope all of our citi-zens will take this to heart (so to speak) and letus all pay tribute as we should. It is not onlyour right, it is our duty.

Info on “Wiki” too good to be true?

It used to be that you could trustan encyclopedia to give you accu-rate — albeit brief — informa-

tion. All it takes is a college kid fromDublin, an idea for an experiment,and a few journalists strapped fortime to prove that isn’t the case any-more.

Of course, I’m not talking aboutEncyclopedia Britannica or the hard-cover tomes that are collecting dustin the corners of libraries. I’m talk-ing about Wikipedia, the online dic-tionary source that, like the wordGoogle, functions as both a noun anda verb in the daily speech patterns ofmy peers.

The first time I heard aboutWikipedia, I thought it was a Spanish word. Iwas a sophomore in college, sitting in a litera-ture class for my Spanish major. My professorwas discussing acceptable sources for citationin our upcoming term paper, and he warned us,very sternly: “No se puede usar la Wikipedia.”

In other words: You can’t use Wikipedia.A few of my classmates and I reached for our

Spanish/English dictionaries, but before wewere able to flip to the W section, he told us toput them away and explained what he was talk-ing about: Wikipedia was an unreliable onlineencyclopedia — and was not an acceptable placeto find information about modern Spanishpoets. Apparently someone in another class hadturned in a paper that must have had inaccurateinformation attributed to Wikipedia. Oops.

As several journalists for big-namepapers like “The Guardian” (in the U.K.)found out, it’s not a particularly reliablesource for things other than modernSpanish poets, either. The AssociatedPress reports that on March 28, after theAcademy Award winning composerMaurice Jarre died in France, an Irishstudent went online and added a newpiece of information to Jarre’s page: amade-up quote that he attributed to thecomposer. According to the AP, a numberof blogs and newspaper articles thatprinted obituaries for the composer usedthe fake quote, lifted straight fromWikipedia, without realizing it wasn’treal.

Under the obituary for Jarre, “TheGuardian” acknowledges its mistake in aretraction of the quote: “We opened with a quo-tation which we are now advised had beeninvented as a hoax, and was never said by thecomposer: ‘My life has been one long sound-track. Music was my life, music brought me tolife.’ The article closed with: ‘Music is how I willbe remembered,’ said Jarre. ‘When I die therewill be a final waltz playing in my head and thatonly I can hear.’”

“The Guardian” went on to say: “Thesequotes appear to have originated as a deliberateinsertion in the composer’s Wikipedia entry inthe wake of his death on 28 March, and fromthere were duplicated on various internet sites.

New CERT volunteers ready to help in an emergency

This past weekend, the fourthclass of CERT members to graduatein Sturbridge had to call on whatthey had learned to successfully putout a fire, use a pry bar and cribbingmaterials to lift a vehicle and safelyextract an incapacitated victimfrom a hazardous situation.

Besides Curboy, who serves as theemergency response coordinatorfor his town, Sturbridge Sgt. JeffreyLavallee was in charge of themajority of classroom instruction.Charlton Lt. Carl Ekman, the emer-gency response coordinator forCharlton, Southbridge FirefighterPaul Nault and SturbridgeFirefighters Eric Riendeau andMatt Roderick also took part asinstructors.

The motivation behind each per-son’s presence in the class was asdiverse as the participants.

One Southbridge resident saidshe decided to give her time to theprogram after moving toMassachusetts from California,where she experienced firsthandthe confusion and chaos that ensueafter a major earthquake.

A participant from Brimfield saidher impetus to volunteer as anemergency responder came frombeing rescued herself by emergencymedical personnel.

Dan Lee, pastor of the SturbridgeWorship Center, along with half adozen congregants, also participat-ed in the class “as a first step inenlarging our church’s involve-ment.”

“We’re trying to get peoplehooked on helping other people, andas that takes place, get them to actlocally,” said Lee, who has traveledthe globe on more than 50 excur-sions helping people in disaster andpoverty stricken regions.

“It raised the level of value I placeon preparedness,” Lee said aftercompleting the course. “It alsoshowed how easy it is to be pre-pared if you take the time to do it.”

Lee explained that the SturbridgeWorship Center is equipped withmost of the necessities to weather ahefty storm like that of lastDecember, and will therefore con-tinue his training to be able to uti-lize the facility as a shelter if theneed should arise.

“We’ll probably dive into the shel-ter management training classeswhen they offer those,” Lee said.

According to Ekman, that andother trainings will be available tothe public in the coming months.

Having utilized a number of citi-zen volunteers at the emergencyshelter in Charlton during theDecember Storm, Ekman said the

increased number of possible vol-unteers is an invaluable asset to thedifferent departments.

“It’s not static, you can take theCERT program wherever you needto go,” Ekman said, explaining thatthe uniformity to the trainingmakes CERT members useful inany community, in any situation.Another 2009 CERT training is ten-tatively slated for the fall.

“If we’re going to be able to worktogether effectively … we have to allhave similar training,” Ekman said.“If we have to go to Sturbridge, orwe have to go to Southbridge, it’s allthe same.”

Also generally the same is thestandard CERT uniform each par-ticipant got, which includes yellowor green vests, hardhats, gloves, andgoggles. Other items, such as flash-lights, multi-tools and first aid kitsvaried between members, as eachtown is responsible for outfitting itsindividual members through feder-al Citizen Corps grants that are dis-tributed proportionally by states toindividual cities and towns.

The knowledge gained by thetraining, however, is far more valu-able than any one item according toCurboy.

“It’s not about what’s in the bag,it’s about the training they receive,”he said. Training that will be usefulin instances such as a search andrescue operation, of which therewere three in Sturbridge last year.

“You’ve got over 1,000 acres ofwoodland out there,” Curboy said,some of which may have to bescoured by CERT members in theevent of a missing person.

Through practical exercises, likethat on Saturday, CERT members

gain a realistic sense of what theyare — or are not — capable of.

The degree to which any memberof a CERT organization is active intheir community is strictly up tothat person, which is completelyacceptable according to Curboy,who said that even if someone doesnot or can not work out in the com-munity, they will at least have theknowledge to help themselves andtheir family.

“I think that the exercise itselfgives people a sense of what theirlimitations are,” Curboy said.

Southbridge Fire Chief andEmergency Response CoordinatorRichard Ciesla said this newly grad-uated class is a huge boost toSouthbridge, which previously hadonly one CERT member, but nowhas a handful of willing volunteers

on which it may call.“I think it’s fantastic,” Ciesla

said. “These people are trained,they can assist in those type ofemergencies, it’s a great asset.”

Ciesla encouraged anyone inter-ested in participating in CERT tocontact the Southbridge FireDepartment.

Information on CERT programand other trainings offered by vari-ous towns will be announced atlater dates for any interested citi-zens.

ConCom backs Fish and Wildlife

request funds from a fund establishedby the Millennium Power Plant inCharlton.

Millennium, which dischargeswarmed water into Cady Brook, a trib-utary of the Quinebaug River, allocat-ed approximately $3 million to be usedspecifically for projects aimed atimproving the water quality in theQuinebaug.

With Hamant Brook also a tributaryof the Quinebaug, restoration of thatwaterway will, by nature, help improvethe main stem of the river.

The proposed plan from Fish andWildlife aims to do so through removalof the three dams along Hamant Brookin the former Camp Robinson Crusoeproperty — two of which are on town-owned land and one on Old SturbridgeVillage land.

The close vote by the ConservationCommission — as well as the even splitbetween voters, yielding a 62-62 vote atthe Annual Town Meeting in Aprilwhen presented with a nonbindingopinion poll about Hamant Brook — isindicative of the varying sentimentregarding the project among townspeo-ple.

Residents again raised concerns atThursday’s meeting, as many of themhad at previous hearings on the topic,regarding the condition of the CRCland as it was when the town acquiredit.

Purchased in partnership with Fishand Wildlife, some residents feel thatan alteration to the landscape of theCRC, a byproduct of dam removal,would be an affront to the people whovoted to purchase it as it is, with threeponds.

At a meeting of the Board ofSelectmen on Monday however,Selectman Thomas Creamer read apassage from the original conservationrestriction written when the land waspurchased, which does site damremoval as a possibility on that land.

Other concerns, such as possibleeffects on nearby well water and exist-ing fish populations were also raised.Barnicle explained that while theremay not have been thorough answersavailable to all the questions raised,those answers would be hashed outduring the planning process.

Besides the improvements to waterquality and native brook trout popula-tions the plan is designed to have,many of those in favor of proceedingwith the restoration made their deci-sion based on the financial implica-

tions not restoring the waterway mighthave on the town.

As mandated by the commonwealthof Massachusetts in 2005, all damsmust be registered with the state andare subject to annual inspections, afterwhich the dam owner(s) must complywith the recommendations they aregiven.

According to a study by Inter-FluveInc. conducted for Fish and Wildlife,repair of the two town-owned damswould cost taxpayers approximately$518,000. A second evaluation, conduct-ed by CME Associates on behalf of thetown estimated the cost around$480,000.

Dick LaFranchise, chairman of thePublic Lands Advisory Committee,speaking as a private citizen atThursday’s meeting summed up thegeneral sentiment of many residentsby saying,

“I have enjoyed the picturesque viewof the lake … but as a tax payer, I do notwant to be burdened with extra expens-es.”

“I think the land [would be] just asbeautiful with a brook,” LaFranchiseconcluded.

Families, school officialexpress pride in grads

“She always gave her all, nomatter what the score was,”Chamberland said of Sally’ssportsmanship.

“She represents the familywell,” Chamberland said, smilingwith pride.

Just before taking the stage toaddress the graduates,Superintendent Daniel G. Durgintook a moment to explain why theclass of 2009 will hold a specialplace in Tantasqua history.

“They’re involved in the com-munity, they’re hardworking,they listen,” Durgin said.“They’re a great group of kids,we’re going to miss them.”

Michael Lucas, a historyteacher at Tantasqua who willassume the position of interimprincipal for the 2009-2010 schoolyear, echoed Durgin’s sentiments.

“There’s a lot of great charac-

ters in that class,” Lucas said.“They’ll be missed.”

Looking toward the future,Class President Amanda

Galonek said, “I’m really proud ofall our accomplishments and Ican’t wait to see what everyonedoes.”

Academic Honor student DrewFuchs already has his plan inplace, at least for the summer.Fuchs said he would travelaround the east coast in the com-ing months, visiting Maine, NewHampshire and Pennsylvania.

“I feel like I’m ready,” Fuchssaid. “We’ve done everything weneed to do.”

Caytlin Buckel summed upmany of her peers’ thoughts, sim-ply saying, “It’s surreal!”

Andi Hengen of Brimfield practices the correct way to clear an obstructed airway dur-ing the second classroom session, which focused on basic first aid.

These errors have been corrected.”Shane Fitzgerald, who claims

responsibility for the fake quotes, toldthe AP that he planted them as part ofan experiment for a class and to provea point. He came forward about monthlater, and said in an interview with anAP reporter, “I am 100 percent con-vinced that if I hadn’t come forward,that quote would have gone down inhistory as something Maurice Jarresaid, instead of something I made up… It would have become anotherexample where, once anything is

printed enough times in the mediawithout challenge, it becomes fact.”

It’s an interesting experiment,though I feel bad for Maurice Jarre.And it certainly proves a point aboutrelying on internet sources too much— or just about writing too quicklywithout checking into things thor-oughly enough.

It is, admittedly, sometimes difficultto see what is real and what isn’t onWikipedia because some entries canbe really well organized or helpful.Information is submitted by anyonewho wants to contribute, and someexperts have drafted very accurateentries, complete with links to alltheir sources. Teams of volunteer edi-

tors try to make sure the content isaccurate, though it’s not always fool-proof, as Fitzgerald proved recently,and as I learned back in the spring of2007.

I was taking a genetics course dur-ing my junior year of college, and Ifound really helpful diagrams andbrief descriptions of the materials Ineeded to study for my exam on aWikipedia page. An hour before mytest, while at the computer at mywork-study job, I decided to Wikipediathat information I’d found the nightbefore one last time. Unfortunately,some obnoxious jokester had deletedthe lengthy entry and replaced it witha few vulgar words instead. I began to

realize what, exactly, my professormeant when he told us: “No se puedeusar la Wikipedia.”

It just goes to show that any writer— Pulitzer Prize winning or publicschool going — needs to be wary ofinformation he/she may have seen onthe internet and how it’s cited.

After all, Pulitzer Prize winningcolumnist Maureen Dowd ran intoInternet citation problems of her ownat the end of May, when she wasaccused of lifting language directlyfrom another writer’s blog in her May17 “New York Times” column. A cor-rection for the column online current-ly notes that she “failed to attribute aparagraph about the timeline for pris-

oner abuse to Josh Marshall’s blog atTalking Points Memo.”

While Dowd can’t blame Wikipediafor the correction, all it would havetaken is a quick Google search of herwords to prevent an embarrassing sit-uation. And a mere checking ofsources would have shown anyonethat the fake quote on Jarre’sWikipedia page really was, as ShaneFitzgerald told the AP, too good to betrue.

BY TERESA A. FRANCONEW LEADER STAFF WRITER

It’s been 10 years since Wally and MicheleConnor saw the poor conditions at orphan-ages in Moscow, but they have not stoppeddoing what they can for those children.

According to the Web site of the couple’sorganization, Socks for Siberia, theConnors were in Moscow visiting anexchange student, Sergei Glukova, who hadstayed with them at their home in NorthBrookfield while he was an exchange stu-dent. While walking to a store during on thelast day of their visit, the Connors passed a“Yoletchka,” the Russian term for anorphanage. The children they saw playingoutside were not dressed well and the yardwas bare and dusty. Shocked at the poor con-ditions, the couple, now living inBrookfield, made it their mission help thecause.

A year after their trip to Moscow the

Connors created Socks for Siberia, Inc., anorganization that provides funds and assis-tance to children in the orphanages insouth central Siberia.

But every organization needs others tohelp it function. So, Socks for Siberia isholding its third annual Spring FamilyFestival from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, June13 at Hyland Orchards and Brewery inSturbridge. Admission to the event is freeand there will be raffle prizes, silent auc-tions, children’s games, face painting, abarnyard zoo, food and music from DickChase and the Millboys, the Otters, PhilipNewland and Chuck Davis and the Peter J.Newland Duo.

“We always try to make it bigger and bet-ter every year, with more music and chil-dren’s games,” Michele Connor said.

Last year’s event generated more moneythan they expected given the economic cir-cumstance, according to Connor. She said

they are hoping the same will happen thisyear.

Connor credits the fact there is no chargefor admission as the reason for their suc-cess, and she said she thinks people likethat there is “no pressure” when enteringthe grounds of the festival.

“People seem to have a heart for thiscause,” she said.

Michele and Wally Connor travel toMoscow every year to deliver the moneyand gifts. Michele Connor stressed that thecouple pays their own way, so all of themoney raised is given to the children.

Connor said they get the chance to spendtime with the children while in Russia andgo shopping to purchase items the childrenmay need.

“We are so lucky to be the ones to go overand experience the gratitude and love,”Connor said. “We always make sure weremind the children that there are so many

people who care about them.”Socks for Siberia is also sponsoring 25

students and five adults who are participat-ing in a 10-day seminar at a camp, whichConnor said she is excited about.

Connor also said the next thing theywould like to achieve with the organizationis to offer support to some of the childrenwho are transitioning out of the orphan-ages.

For more information on Socks forSiberia and its Spring Family Festival, visitwww.socksforsiberia.org or call WallyConnor at (508) 637-1248. Donations may besent to Socks for Siberia, c/o NorthBrookfield Savings Bank, 128 West Main St.,West Brookfield, MA 01585.

STURBRIDGE — OldSturbridge Village will comealive with the lost sounds andsights of 19th-century popularmusic and art as more than 50singers, dancers, and musicians,and artists perform at the muse-um’s first Music and Art Day onSaturday, June 20. Singers willpresent solo a cappella vocal per-formances of 19th-century songsand ballads, and a concert by theOSV Singing School. Visitorscan enjoy fife and drum music, arecorder concert, and a perform-ance on the museum’s antiquepipe organ.

Artists will demonstrate early1800s-style sketching, silhouettecutting, watercolor and theorempainting. Visitors can learn 19th-century dances, paper marbling,and how to play the jaw harp andtin whistle. All performances arefree with museum admission.Details: 1-800-SEE-1830;www.osv.org

Historians at Old SturbridgeVillage point out that early NewEnglanders enjoyed a wide vari-ety of music – and not all of itwas serious religious music.

Popular tunes also includedsongs about murders and execu-tions, famous battles, salacioussongs, and

satirical songs.“We shouldn’t imagine that

families in early New Englandjust went to sleep after dark,”notes OSV musician Jim O’Brien.“They enjoyed singing songs andtelling stories – a pastime thatwas enjoyed by all ages.”

Beautiful English ballads like“Barbara Allen,” were passeddown from one generation to thenext for hundreds of years.People also sang “broadsidesongs,” which were printed onsingle sheets in Boston and soldall over the countryside. Peoplein rural villages learned four-part harmony in singing schoolstaught by itinerant instructors.

Those who wanted to be reallygenteel would sing romantic par-lor ballads like Thomas Moore’spopular series of “IrishMelodies,” which romanticizedIreland, and songs by Scottishpoet Robert Burns, whose mostfamous song, “Auld Lang Syne,”remains a New Year’s Eve staple

today.The most skilled amateur musi-

cians in early New England couldperform some of the classicalpieces of Handel, Haydn andMozart, and others had widerepertoires of popular tavern andcountry music of the day. Themodern piano was just gainingpopularity during this time peri-od. It was called the “pianoforte”because, unlike on the harpsi-chord, whose strings are pluckedwhen its keys are pressed, apiano’s strings are struck byhammers when the keys areplayed. This allows musicians tocontrol the volume by how lightlyor forcefully they touch the keys,playing soft (piano) or loud(forte).

Many early New Englandersloved to dance, and most danceswere informal affairs held infarmhouse parlors or barns,although there were fancy ballsin the larger cities. In the coun-tryside, young people had theoption of learning all the lateststeps at formal dancing schoolstaught by dancing-school masterswho traveled from town to town.

Popular contra dances, orcountry dances, were an oldEnglish tradition, and featuredlong lines of women facing a line

of men repeating a series of stepsin sequence. The French tookEnglish country dance andrearranged it for four couplesstanding in a square, calling itthe cotillion, or quadrille. Thewaltz was just appearing inAmerican social circles in theearly 1800s, and because itinvolved dancing one on one withbodily contact, it was seen asracy and risqué – much too inti-mate and intoxicating an experi-

ence for unmarried young ladies,who were cautioned to refrainfrom it altogether.

Theorem painting, or oilpainting with stencils on whitevelvet, was quite popular amongwomen of all ages in the early1800s because the technique madeit possible for amateur artists tocreate charming artwork fortheir own homes. Silhouettes –profile portraits cut from blackpaper — were very popular inAmerica from 1790-1840, and werean affordable way to have aportable likeness of a loved one.

“So much of the everyday lifewe portray at Old SturbridgeVillage revolves around work –the farming, spinning, sewing,shoe-making, blacksmithing andtin-making – because early NewEnglanders worked very hard,”O’Brien says. “But they alsoloved music, art and dance, so it’svery fitting that we celebrate thisaspect of their lives, too.”

Old Sturbridge Village cele-brates New England life in the1830s and is open daily 9:30 a.m. –5:00 p.m. seven days a week.Admission: $20; seniors $18; chil-dren 3-17, $7; children under 3,free. For information: 1-800-733-1830; www.osv.org.

Simple Tips For An “Ultra” Extraordinary Soiree(NAPS)

Outdoor entertaining has a certain ease toit. Don’t overlook the details though, as simpletouches go a long way toward creating a trulymemorable experience for your guests.

Start by establishing a theme for your event,which distinguishes your party from the typi-cal backyard gathering. Food, beverage, decorand music decisions are easier to make whenthey support a central theme.

“The theme can be simple but sophisticat-ed,” suggests entertaining expert DonatellaArpaia. “Bring out classic summer colors byhosting a ‘Red, White and Blue Party.’ Set anelegant tone by inviting guests to dress all inwhite and use bold reds and blues for every-thing from decor to dessert.”

Once the theme is set, enhance the party byaccenting the food, drinks and space.Additions to the table setting can be the focalpoint as guests enter.

“Create an ocean-side feel by filling glasscylinders and bowls with sand and seashells,”says Arpaia. “Place candlelit lanterns in themiddle of the tables for a beach cookoutambiance that grows as the sun sets.”

To spend less time serving and more timesocializing and to help guests circulate, set upmini self-serve stations in different locationswith a variety of food and beverage pairings.Cookouts and a selection of cold beers are anatural fit. Michelob Ultra is a refreshing com-plement to grilled chicken, and its crisp finishalso stands up to a spicy Mexican dish. Thebeer can be a smart choice for any menu as ithas only 95 calories and 2.6 grams of carbs.

Some guests may prefer the deep ambercolor and malty, full-flavored taste of MichelobUltra Amber to go with their seasoned burger.Michelob Ultra Fruit, available in LimeCactus, Tuscan Orange Grapefruit andPomegranate Raspberry, can be served inchampagne flutes with a fruit garnish for asimple and chic presentation.

More tips from Donatella Arpaia and othersocial influencers are in the June/July issueof Every Day with Rachael Ray, featuring aspecial pullout section with party themes andentertaining advice. Look for Michelob Ultrain stores to get a special subscription offer andaccess to an exclusive digital issue of EveryDay with Rachael Ray.

Add a Mediterranean flare to burgers with grilled sweet onions, sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta andextra-virgin olive oil.

Budget-Friendly Tips ForOutdoor Entertaining(NAPS)

Outdoor grilling is afavorite pastime that doesn’thave to break the bank.

In fact, grilling can be aneconomical way to feed yourfamily nutritious meals andhost your favorite summerparties.

In addition to offering greatprices and selections ongrilling essentials,SuperTarget offers these wal-let-friendly tips for entertain-ing this summer.

• Grill up a bonelesssirloin steak and then cut intoslices to create fresh fajitas.

• Use ground meat tomake gourmet sliders as analternative to making burg-ers.

• Cube grilled steakand add to a fresh salad withseasonal vegetables.

Don’t forget that premiummeats don’t necessarily meanpremium prices. Do yourhomework to find out whereyou can get the best deals ongrilling meats.

For example, SuperTarget’sexclusive Sutton & Dodgebrand offers steakhouse-qual-ity, USDA Choice Angus Beefsuch as T-bone steak, rib-eyesteak and loin strip steak.

As a main dish, side orsalad, seasonal produce tastesgreat on the grill or alongsidegrilled meats. For instance:

• Create out-of-this-world shish kebabs withfresh-grilled peppers, onionsand tomatoes paired withyour favorite meat.

• Cook up seasonal

vegetables such as summersquash, zucchini and egg-plant on a grilling tray for awarm twist to the traditionalsalad.

? Go organic for less.SuperTarget is a certifiedorganic produce retailer,offering low prices on a vari-ety of organic produce.

A hot trend in grilling rightnow is using a variety of rubsand spices. Whether it’spreparing meat beforegrilling or serving cookedmeat with a delicious sauce,it’s easy to invent somethingnew every time.

Below are some tips to helpadd a little zing to meats:

• Spice up fajitas byusing grilled chicken that hasbeen marinated in fajitasauce.

• Add distinction to

the meal by serving cookedsteak with a flavorful steaksauce.

• Enhance the flavor ofbeef by starting off with adelicious grill rub before bar-becuing.

Purchase premade saucesand spices to ease cookingprep times.

Make your grilled meals dodouble-duty. Save time andmoney by getting creativewith leftovers.

• Grill extra food at thebeginning of the week to pre-pare for the days ahead.

• Bringing in a home-made lunch not only savesmoney but is generallyhealthier for you.

A Delicious Quick-Fix Cobbler (NAPS)

Even better than serving up delicious food,many cooks contend, is finding an easy way toprepare it.

For example, here’s a recipe for One-BowlPeach and Blueberry Cobbler that could be theeasiest cobbler you’ll ever make. Simply throwall the ingredients in an oven-safe dish and topwith any fruit you have on hand. The result iswarm fruit comfortably nestled in soft pillowsof dough. Serve with whipped cream or ascoop of vanilla ice cream.

One-Bowl Peach and Blueberry CobblerPrep time: 5 minutes; hands-off cooking

time: 30 minutes; serves 4.

1⁄4 cup butter, melted1 cup buttermilk pancake mix1⁄2 cup sugar1⁄2 cup milk3 cups sliced peaches (fresh,

frozen or canned, such as jarred peaches inlight syrup

1⁄2 cup blueberries, fresh orfrozen

1⁄4 tsp ground cinnamon(optional)

1. Preheat oven to 375?F.2. Select an 8 x 8-inch square ovenproof

dish or a glass 9-inch pie plate for the cobbler.(If you’re feeding a crowd, double the recipeand use a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.) Melt butterright in the baking dish and use it as a mixingbowl.

3. Add pancake mix, sugar and milk to

melted butter. Stir with a fork until just com-bined. Batter will be lumpy—do not overmix.

4. Scatter peaches and blueberries even-ly over batter. Lightly sprinkle cinnamonevenly on top.

5. Bake for 30 minutes or until lightgolden brown.

You can use apples, pears, plums or mixedberries. Frozen or canned fruit works just aswell as fresh fruit in this recipe, which can befound in the book “Cooking With All ThingsTrader Joe’s” by Deana Gunn and WonaMiniati. The cookbook features easy recipesthat use everyday, budget-friendly ingredientsand time-saving shortcuts.

Tips For Eating Better On A Budget(NAPS)

Planning a warm-weatherparty can be fun and easy.Try these tips:?

SET THE MOOD

A theme can help keepguests in a festive mood.Decorate your yard withpalm leaves and fresh flow-ers and use straw mats asplace settings for a tropicalambience. If you’re enter-taining in the evening, con-sider using yard torches toadd lighting—and to helpkeep mosquitoes away.

FUN FOODS

Grill up easy-to-eat fingerfoods such as skeweredpineapple shrimp orminiveggie kebabs so guestscan mingle while they sam-ple the goods. Also, keep themain course light by focus-ing on salads and fruits anduse cooling herbs and spicessuch as cilantro and mint toadd a fresh, seasonal flavor.

Simple Serving Serving potluck style is

popular at parties, especiallyin today’s economy. Youmight also serve up plattersof cold cuts alongside simpleside dishes. That way, guestscan eat at their leisure, andyou’ll spend less time run-ning between table and

kitchen. If grilling, try tokeep it reasonably easy withhamburgers, veggie burgersand traditional barbecuefare. You can also save timeand effort by serving upready-to-drink cocktailsalong with the nonalcoholicbeverages you offer guests.For instance, Bacardi®Classic Cocktail RaspberryMojito is a mix of rum, natu-ral lime and mint flavors,plus an extra burst ofripened raspberries. Therefreshing beverage—a vari-ation of the legendaryOriginal Bacardi Mojito—isconveniently designed topour and drink.

LAWN & GARDEN

Tips To Help You Plan A Vegetable Garden(NAPS)

A little planning can help your vegetablegarden grow and flourish. Here are a few tipsto help you plant a vegetable garden offeredby Lisa Singer, the creator of the BackyardBotanical Gardening System:

1. Make a Plan: Write out a simple gardenplan detailing where you would like eachplant to go. This will not only help lay out thegarden efficiently, but can also serve as agreat reference for later on.

2. Let the Sun Shine: Most vegetable gar-dens need a minimum of six hours of directsunlight, so observe the area at differenttimes of the day and monitor the amount ofsunlight it receives.

3. Know When to Grow: Research yourregion’s first and last frost dates, so youknow if you need to start your seeds indoorsbefore transferring them outdoors. Aninvestment in seeds can save you money overtime. A recent study by Burpee Seed Co. esti-mates that gardeners can harvest $1,250worth of produce on an investment of $50 inseed and fertilizer.

4. The Tools of the Trade: The minimumequipment needed by most gardenersincludes a shovel or spade, a hoe, a rake anda trowel.

5. Digging In: Many gardeners enhance thesoil by adding organic matter, lime and somecommercial fertilizer. If you start your gar-

den from seeds, select a seed-starting mix,which is lightweight and sterile, both ofwhich are keys to successful seed germina-tion.

6. Consistently Water: Make sure youwater regularly and deeply so that yourplants do not dry out. To take the guessworkout of watering, many gardeners use all-in-one gardening systems such as the BackyardBotanical Oasis Garden, which comes fullyequipped with a battery-operated, built-inirrigation system. The self-contained raisedbed systems allow gardeners to choose theirown soil, prevent the soil from compactingunder foot, reduce weed growth and elimi-nate the need to bend over during plantingand harvesting.

7. Harvest Time: Harvesting in a timelymanner is extremely important to the gar-den’s success. When a plant’s fruit has goneto seed, it will stop producing.

8. Control Critters: Unwanted insects andanimals may consider the garden their veryown backyard buffet. If ants become anissue, place a bait station outside the garden.

In the case of larger critters, using a gar-dening system, such as the BackyardBotanical system with pestproof flooringand fencing, can protect your garden.

For more information, please visit back-yardbotanical.com and follow Lisa Singer onTwitter @Gardens2Gro.

A built-in irrigation system can deliver much-needed moisture to your garden and prevent it from drying out.

Invite Hummingbirds AndButterflies To Your Garden

(NAPS)

Butterflies and hummingbirds can addmagic to any garden, and it’s easy to invitethem in. Just select the right plants—butter-flies like bright colors while hummingbirdsand butterflies both like blooms with plentyof nectar.

Easy-to-grow plants that attract pollina-tors include butterfly bushes, Rose ofSharon, and Weigela.

Butterfly bush (Buddleia) is a favorite ofbutterflies and hummingbirds. The sweetfragrance and bright summer flowers areappealing to people, too. Unfortunately, tradi-tional butterfly bush varieties have a tenden-cy to get overgrown and leggy. Regular prun-ing is often needed to keep them in check.

New Lo & Behold ‘Blue Chip’ Buddleia is aminiature butterfly bush with all the fra-grance and butterfly appeal of older vari-eties but in a smaller package.

It stays just 24”-30” tall and wide withoutany pruning, and produces abundant laven-der blue flowers from midsummer to frost.This continuously blooming butterfly mag-net does not need deadheading, and makes afantastic low-maintenance mass planting. Anoninvasive hybrid, Blue Chip is perfect foranyone who wants to attract butterflies andhummingbirds but doesn’t have space for abig plant. It can be incorporated into con-tainer gardens.

While not as petite as Blue Chip, ‘MissRuby’ is a compact new variety with intenseflower color. Its vivid magenta flowers arericher and brighter than those of other vari-eties. Miss Ruby matures to approximately4’-5’ tall and wide, not as small as Blue Chipbut much more manageable than the 6’-8’range of many older varieties.

These new varieties are easy to grow infull sun and are hardy to USDA Zone 5.Butterfly bushes tolerate most moist, well-drained soils. Buddleia may be trimmedback in later winter or early spring, althoughpruning is usually not necessary with thesenew varieties.

Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) isanother easy-to-grow plant that attracts but-terflies and hummingbirds. They bloom inmid- to late summer and are available in awide variety of colors.

The pure white of White Chiffon is espe-cially nice in the evening, while gardenerslooking for deep color will appreciate therich violet of Violet Satin.

Check out the assortment at www.proven-

winners.com to see which variety best suitsyour color scheme. All Rose of Sharon vari-eties do best in full sun.

Weigela are even more diverse in size,shape, color and foliage. Wine & Roses is pop-ular for attracting hummingbirds. Fine Wineis a smaller version of this favorite, anddwarf Midnight Wine is smaller yet.

My Monet is another miniature Weigela.Its green and white variegated leaves oftenblush pink to match its pink spring flowers.The chartreuse foliage on reblooming GhostWeigela transforms to iridescent butter-cream in late summer. Weigelas are fast-growing plants that thrive in full sun.

Trend Outlook:? What’s NewFor Backyards And Balconies

(NAPS)

For grillers, backyards and balconies acrossthe country might look a little different thisyear. Hot trends among grill enthusiastsinclude multi-grill households, grills in sleeknew colors—including ultracool steel grayand brick red—and the emergence of outdoorelectric grills.

“We continually track industry trends andrespond to what grillers are looking for today,”said Mike Kempster Sr., executive vice presi-dent of Weber-Stephen Products Co., the pre-mier worldwide manufacturer of outdoorgrills and grilling accessories. “We’re seeingtrends towards multiple grill ownership; moresophisticated, muted color palettes; and aslight uptick in the outdoor electric grill mar-ket.”

MULTI-GRILL HOUSEHOLDS

This year’s Weber GrillWatch Survey showsnearly one-third (29 percent) of grill owners

report owning multiple grills. Among thosehouseholds, 78 percent of smoker owners arethe most likely to own multiple grills, followedby 49 percent of electric grill owners. Thirtypercent of all gas grill owners own at least onecharcoal grill while 14 percent own at leastone smoker.

“We found that people who own multiplegrills like the challenge of mastering differentheat sources and diverse grilling and smokingtechniques,” said Kempster. “In fact, nearly 29percent of grill owners say the primary rea-son they’re attracted to ‘low and slow’ barbe-cuing is that it’s a different method of cook-ing, and another 14 percent cite that it takestime and skill to master.

“With more people entertaining at home, 61percent of grill owners plan to grill at homeand eat out less this year—the trend towardsmultiple grill ownership should continue togrow,” Kempster added.

Sleek New ColorsMany homeowners have outdoor rooms—a

defined outdoor space with a cooking, enter-taining and seating area—and because thegrill is oftentimes a focal point, more con-sumers are looking for colors that will reflecttheir home’s interior look and style.

“When we introduced our popular Genesisgas grill in an upscale copper color, thedemand was tremendous,” said Kempster.“This year we’re adding even more sophisti-cated hues such as brick red and steel gray tobe sold at specialty retailers. The steel gray isa great color option for stainless steel appli-ance enthusiasts who want that look withoutthe exterior cleaning upkeep.”

OUTDOOR ELECTRIC GRILL

OwnershipMany grillers who live in condos, multi-unit

apartment buildings or similarly plannedcommunities have gas or charcoal grill userestrictions. Electric grills are a great alterna-tive. “We recently introduced a new product—the Weber Q140—that has received favorablereviews as being the best outdoor electric grillon the market for reaching true outdoorgrilling temperatures,” Kempster said.

(NAPS)

Turfgrass, the nation’s tra-ditional ground cover, may belosing ground to the more eco-friendly creeping perennials.

Turfgrass is popularbecause it covers the soil nice-ly, but it requires high mainte-nance and uses a tremendousamount of water, fertilizerand chemicals to maintain itsbeauty.

Low-maintenance, eco-friendly creeping perennialground cover is a great substi-tute for traditional turfgrass.For example, the Forever &

Ever GroundCovers line ofround covers provides optionsthat grow in sun or shade,come in many colors and tex-tures, and grow in areaswhere grass will not. Theycome back every season andlook better each year.

Once the eco-friendly plantsare established, they requirevery little water as comparedto turf that requires constantwatering. The need for fertiliz-er is also minimal. Most vari-eties only need one feeding ofslow-release fertilizer eachyear as compared to three tofour feedings for traditionalturf. Many varieties provide athick mat of foliage that helpsprevent weeds, eliminatingthe need for chemical control.

Ground covers grow wheregrass won’t and in small areaswhere it is difficult to main-tain, such as on slopes, undertrees or in confined land-scapes. Many of the varietieswill withstand some foot traf-fic. Varieties such as Platt’sBlack Brass Buttons, with itswonderfully textured purple-gray leaves, and County ParkPratia, with its showy blue

blooms above a dense mat offoliage, are perfect varieties touse between stepping-stonesor along walkways.

The collection also featuresseveral varieties of sedumthat will work well in sunny,dry areas. Sedums work wellon slopes and are a classicrock garden plant filling inbetween rocks, eliminating ahaven for weeds. John CreechSedum, with it purple-pinkflowers and dense foliage, andAngelina Sedum, with itsuniquely textured golden-yel-low foliage, are star perform-ers in sunny, arid areas.

Some ground covers, suchas the Yellow Ripple Ivy, alsodo very well in patio contain-ers. Ivy and other creepingperennials make great fillersfor container gardens, droop-ing or cascading over theedges of the pots.

This line of creeping peren-nials brings colorful blooms,great foliage colors andunique textures to the garden,all with little care and mainte-nance. They are available athome centers and independ-ent garden centers.

Choosing Ground Cover For Eco-Friendly Beauty

(NAPS)

Warm weather meansAmericans should take pre-cautions to protect againstticks and mosquitoes.

Ticks, most active fromMay through September, cancause discomfort and trans-mit Lyme disease and RockyMountain spotted fever.Mosquitoes can leave behinditchy welts and transmitserious viruses, includingWest Nile. According to theCenters for Disease Controland Prevention, more than28,000 cases of West Nilevirus have been reported inthe U.S. since 1999.

“Warmer weather bringsticks and mosquitoes, so

homeowners should partnerwith pest professionals toreduce health risks and con-ditions that allow pests tothrive,” said Ron Harrison,Ph.D., technical director forOrkin, Inc.

Orkin offers a unique mos-quito control program thathelps protect homeowners’yards and raises money tohelp protect African familiesfrom malaria through itsFight the Bite campaign. In2009, Orkin and its sisterpest control companies willdonate at least $150,000 for15,000 insecticide-treatedmosquito bed nets to the U.N.Foundation’s Nothing ButNets campaign. To getinvolved, visitnets.orkin.com.

For more information onmosquitoes, ticks and otherpests, visitwww.orkin.com/learning-center.

Prevent Pests From Spoiling Your Outdoor Fun

The emergence of electric grills is one of many out-door grilling trends.

Buddleia Blue Chip is a miniature butterfly bush thatblooms abundantly but doesn’t require as muchpruning as the traditional varieties.

Miss Ruby has vivid magenta flowers that are richerand brighter than other varieties. They only reachfour to five feet tall.

A few simple actions can help pro-tect you from warm-weatherpests, including mosquitoes andticks.

Ground covers grow where grasswon’t and in small areas where itis difficult to maintain, such as onslopes, under trees or in confinedlandscapes.

PRAYER TO THEBLESSED VIRGIN

(Never known to fail). Oh most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splen-dor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this my necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein, you are my mother, Oh Holy Mary, Moth-er of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart, succor me in this ne-cessity. There are none that can withstand your call. Oh, show me herein, you are my mother. Oh, Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3 times) Holy Mary I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Sweet Mother I pray for this cause in your hands. (3 times). Holy Spirit, resolve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me in all instances of my life, you are with me. I want this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you even in spite of ma-terial things. I wish to be with you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy to-ward me and mine. The per-son must say this prayer three consecutive days. Af-ter three days the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the prayer is granted. Thank you. S.K.

PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

Holy Spirit, you who made me see everything and

showed me the way to reach my ideal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and you who are in all instances of life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to

thank you for everything and confirm once more that I

never want to be separated from you no matter how

great the material desire may be. I want to be with you and my loved ones in your per-

petual glory. Amen.Thank you for your love

towards me and my loved ones. Persons must pray the

prayer three consecutive days without asking your wish. After the third day,

wish will be. Then promise to publish this dialogue as soon as this favor is granted J.C.
