DOUGLAS — Selectmen haveasked the Planning Board andConservation Commission to issuea joint report on proposing a stormwater management bylaw withinapproximately 60 days.
Voters last May rejected a propos-al for a storm water managementbylaw.
At last week’s selectmen’s meet-ing, the board discussed the reasonsvoters went against the proposedbylaw and how to make it clearer forpeople.
“[Although] voters rejected devel-opment of the storm water manage-ment bylaw,” Executive
AdministratorM i c h a e lGuzinski said,“state and feder-al regulationsrequire us toestablish such abylaw. We don’twant to wait tobe fined.”
Guzinski sug-gested the earli-est such a bylaw proposal shouldcome up again would be nextspring.
“There’s not enough time to do itbefore next May,” SelectmanMitchell Cohen said.
He urged the board to work with
the Conservation Commissionbecause several amendments wereproposed at the May Town Meeting.
“The Conservation Commissionneeds to involve the Planning Boardand there should be more publicoutreach,” Cohen said. “We need toget this solved.”
Selectman Jeffrey LaPorte saidthere were “some pretty stringentregulations that would have beenimposed” had the storm water man-agement proposal passed last May.
LaPorte said he would like to seeeverybody get a shot at coming upwith a bylaw proposal, especiallythe Planning Board.

NORTHBRIDGE — They areready and willing to listen.
The only problem, according toMichael Slayton of town, is thatnobody seems to know the StephenMinisters exist.
Time after time we hear of howcounselors are concentrated incities. We also hear of the high priceof professional therapy. And welearn more and more how extendedfamilies may not have the close tiesto each other families once had.
So along came a Lutheran minis-ter and psychologist named the Rev.Kenneth Haugk, a pastor in St.Louis, with an idea to help personsgoing through a critical experience.
He called on his lay people to beChristian caregivers. He also devel-oped the Stephen Series, a completesystem of training and organizinglaypersons to help others.
As caregiver Virginia Schneiderof Michigan wrote, “in 50 hours ofinstruction under our church pas-tors and experienced Stephen lead-ers, we studied topics such as theart of listening, sensing others’ feel-ings, compassionate assertiveness,maintaining confidentiality, crisistheory and intervention, effectivetelephone care, praying with peopleand finding help in the Bible.”
After those first 50 hours, care-givers continue special trainingtwice a month.
Caregivers at 10,000 churchesaround the globe are taught to rec-ognize needs requiring professionalhelp and to refer such individuals tocounselors, physicians or commu-nity agencies.
“By listening,” Schneider wrote,“we could help people discover theirinner selves and lead them to the
comfort and healing offered byJesus Christ.”
The organization is named afterStephen, the first layperson theApostles asked to care for the needsof a first-century congregation

UXBRIDGE — The first signthe Army had something to dowith the layout of West Hill Damand Park is the perfectly straightroad leading into the place fromHartford Avenue.
It looks like part of a grid.But maybe that was done to try
to counteract the wild aspect of
the park itself.Because when a visitor gets to
the end of that road, he (or she)glimpses the rugged cut of theledge on both sides of the WestRiver. Then, if he is adventurous,he can walk the major portion ofthe 2,400-foot-long dam eastwardto a trail that meanders through a

NORTHBRIDGE — Although theNorthbridge Rams have had some oftheir best teams in the past 23 years(Super Bowl wins in 1987, 1989, 1997,1998, 2001, 2002 and 2007), Millburyand Uxbridge began resurgencesduring that same span.
And, more recently, Tantasquaand David Prouty have joinedShepherd Hill and Auburn withwinning teams.
So there has been more parity inthe Southern Worcester CountyLeague and, since the divisionalstandings took over, in that formatfor the past two decades, than therewas in the 1970s, when Northbridgeand Grafton led the way.
Northbridge has still been thedominant Division 2 and before thatDivision 3 team in that time, but sur-prising things happened around theSWCL beginning in the early 1990s,when Uxbridge culminated a returnto winning with two Super Bowlsand a good run at a third, andMillbury finished undefeated on itsway to a Bowl win in 1993.
New configurations have brought
city teams like Burncoat, North andSouth into the mix of divisionalcompetition.
As with many other things in life,just because a team likeNorthbridge has a winning tradi-tion does not mean it takes anythingfor granted.
Now, instead of worrying abouthow to beat Grafton when the Greenand White had a Hank Sareault in1977 or how to contain Ayer whenJoe Morris was their chief runningback in the mid-1970s (he later brokethe rushing record both at Syracuseand with the New York Giants),Northbridge faces a whole schedulethat is pretty competitive.
For example, the Rams led theseries with Millbury, 44-10, up untilMillbury exploded with a perfectrecord in 1993.
Uxbridge had some outstandingteams in the late 1940s and early1950s, but went into eclipse in manyof the years that followed to thepoint some people in town talkedabout abandoning football. ThenSteve Knowlton led the Spartans tosome respectable records (8-2 one

MILLBURY — Blackstone Valley Tech student and Uxbridgeresident, Connor Walsh (far left) works on a mock transformerwith other students at a recent weeklong engineering programrun by National Grid in Millbury. Walsh joined more than adozen high school students from across Massachusetts chosento participate in National Grid’s “Engineering PipelineProgram” at the company’s Millbury Training Center. The pro-gram was just launched across three training sites in NationalGrid’s service territory to provide instruction and guidance tofuture engineers and to address the projected future shortageof engineers in the workforce.
NEWS BRIEFS
Driving to NewHampshire this pastweek — fresh off theplane from spending
six weeks in England — Iflipped on the radio. Adjustingthe dial, I found a voice tellingme the latest world news: myfirst taste of American-stylemedia upon arriving home.
The voice was pleasant but somewhatbland: striving toward a sense of objectivitywhile also being engaging. I settled down intothe driver’s seat to take it all in.
It was, first of all, a bit of a change from thepaper I’d had at my disposal to read whileaway.
Of course, British sources such as the BBCprovide some of the world’s best news cover-age.
But the paper I was given while staying at ahotel in London? The structure of the articleswas a bit jarring, to say the least.
The Daily Mirror, the paper I’d been given,
was, like most British papers— a tabloid as opposed to themore popular broadsheetstyle. I was told it wasn’t thegreatest paper in the countrybut it also wasn’t the worst: Inshort, I could trust the news.
But instead of even strivingtoward a sense of objectivity,the articles—even on hard
news topics — began with leads that integrat-ed the author’s opinions. There was a com-mentary/editorial section as well, but eventhe plain old news was slightly less thanstraightforward.
So when I was listening to the radio back inthe U.S. this week — hearing about the terri-ble traffic jam in China — I wondered how theDaily Mirror would have written about it.
On my American radio station, I heard thefacts: the basic answers to the questions who,what, when, where, why, and how? In someBritish papers, however, an additional ques-tion seems to have been added: and how do
you feel about that?I went online, to check out the Daily
Mirror’s coverage of the traffic jam, just to seeif I could find a difference in approach. Ifound an article, detailing estimated trafficpatterns across Britain. The piece, whichdetailed the “‘perfect storm’ of travel may-hem” over the weekend in a series of photo-graphs, graphs, and brief paragraphs withstatistics, was titled “Traffic chaos and poorweather to ruin Bank Holiday.” As you cansee, there is a certain flair for the dramatic.
At the end of the article, in the final para-graph, I found my search terms, as I read on:
“But if you think Britain’s roads are bad,spare a thought for thousands of Chinesecaught in a jam which has already lasted TENDAYS. Officials have warned the 60-milequeue on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou highway,northern China, could last until mid-September when roadworks end.”
WOW, I thought (in capital letters, no less); Ididn’t know that was allowed in news articles
It is comforting to know that old-fashionedthings like pencils, erasers, and crayons arestill used by kids in school.
At the entrance to the Douglas grades 3-7building called the intermediate/elementaryschool last week were sheets of paper with crit-ical information for parents to pick up.
But grandparents would probably be morefamiliar with the content.
In this day of hi-tech, of tweeters andFacebook, it is good to know the old verities arestill around.
The handouts recommend having certainitems in the desk for a successful year.
People who can remember FDR and Trumanwould probably rejoice to know that schools arenot crazy withFuture Sciencestuff.
For example,parents ofthird-gradersare advised toprovide theseitems for theirchild: threesturdy pocketfolders, twocomposition notebooks (sewn, not spiral), 12pencils, 12 cap erasers, a small pencil sharpen-er (shaving container attached), a 12-pack ofcolored pencils, 3 correcting pens (not black), 6glue sticks, a highlighter, a pair of scissors, ablack sharpie, a pack of 24 crayons, a small pen-cil box, a set of multiplication cards, and twolarge zip-lock bags.
There are a few additional items “for class-room use” that do not have to be labeled with astudent’s name.
They are: two boxes of tissues, ClorexDisinfecting Wipes, four dry-erase markers(low odor preferred), a pair of clean socks (touse as a dry erase-board eraser).
Binders are verboten, kaput, discouraged.Moving on to grade 4, we find some different
items listed as appropriate classroom needs.Among them are seven different folders, one
each of orange, green, red, yellow, blue, purple,and one folder with a color of the student’schoice. Also, ruler, compass and protractor.
In grade 5, the recommended possessionsare an optional low-cost calculator, a non-bend-able ruler that measures inches and centime-ters, thin markers, a flash drive to save work,filler paper and reinforcement stickers, if need-ed.
Fifth graders are also encouraged to have a2-inch binder for science and Social Studies,two 1-inch binders for homework and for writ-ing, 6 three-holed punch folders, and 3 composi-tion books.
Grade 6 requirements are on cruise controlfrom grade 5, with a 10-pack of dividers, loose-leaf lined paper, blue or black pens, and indexcards.
Judged essential for a grade 7 student is anotebook or folder for each subject, or a three-ring binder, a 1.5-inch binder for History, a pack-age of dividers, two packs of large index cards,a calculator, a ruler, and covers for all books,preferably paper bags. After all, they “workbest.” A protractor and glue sticks are optional.
I notice a flash drive to save work on does notget mentioned until the fifth grade. However,my guess is that at home some preschoolershave their own computers and flash drives(“Oh, you’re so 2008.”).
So maybe it’s good for kids to slow down a lit-tle, get used to the bucolic smell of curled woodshavings peeling off pencils in a preferablynon-electric sharpener.
In my day, going to the teacher’s pencilsharpener was a heady thing to do. For one, wewould scan her desk for any interesting stuff,like photos of family members standing near alake.
But one of the most rewarding missions wasto take off with two other favored students lug-ging a box of chalky erasers each about the sizeof a small brick down to the school basement,where the eraser-cleaning machine was locat-ed. I am not sure how we were selected. But Isuspect it was because what we all had in com-mon was a look of joy at the prospect of gettingout of class.
I am not sure what a “sharpie” is but I sus-pect it has something to do with Las Vegas andI would caution principals and parents to recon-sider bringing any “sharpie” into class unlessto teach subtraction and short division.
As for multiplication cards, they remove allthe suffering from trying to remember the mul-tiplication table. No more is it possible to waitwith bated breath while a classmate is askedwhat 11 times 12 is. Out of the roughly six bil-lion people on earth, I am convinced only 997know the answer to that. So I guess teachingthat with cards will just expand the elite tomaybe 1,100.
Giving fourth-graders seven folders, each ofa different color, is a sneaky way of introducingIsaac Newton’s work showing that light can berefracted through a prism into several colors.
In my day we used to look up to whatevergrade it was that got to use protractors andcompasses. The latter provided the miracle of aperfectly round circle. Real artists seem to havethe knack of making a perfect circle freehand-ed whether they start out to the left or to theright.
I can still remember a beautiful girl inkindergarten with long dark curls. Her namewas Diane and she could do anything in art.Draw perfect circles. But especially she was notindecisive, like the rest of us, about puttingpressure on a crayon. Her flowers were sostrongly rendered that flecks of crayon wax laythis way and that, like a French Impressionistpainting.

OPINIONLETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Time to seriously test the waterTo the Editor:Although my street wasn’t listed in the
recent Tribune articles as one of those expe-riencing discoloration from iron and man-ganese, it has been a problem in my house-hold for nearly 20 years.
When our water was tested years ago bythe Whitinsville Water Company’s lab, wewere told that the slightly elevated iron andmanganese levels were just a “nuisance.” Wewashed as much laundry as possible in coldwater and installed a whole-house filtrationsystem, which we hoped would improvedrinking and laundry water, and keep ourwater heater and pipes from becoming coat-ed. These measures did not entirely resolvethe problem, even back then.
The discoloration has proven over time tobe sporadic, but year-round, not just in sum-mer as WWC General Manager RandySwigor contends.
Just over a year ago, there began to be somuch discoloration that I asked for a repre-sentative of the company to come to my hometo assess the situation. Again, I was told itwas simply a nuisance issue. Since then, theproblem has been nearly constant. Coldwater is often mildly off-color; hot water isoften visibly brown. I resorted to buying bot-tled drinking water because of numeroushealth conditions.
Since controversy about this matter recent-ly surfaced within the community, my con-cerns have multiplied. It seems that the issuemight not simply be “one of aesthetics,” asMr. Swigor was quoted, not just of discoloredlaundry, sinks and toilets, as frustrating asthose are. Worse, it might be an issue ofhealth and of resource conservation.Regarding the latter, it greatly concerns meto discover that the WWC routinely dumpswater to flush out the system every fewweeks. What is it costing the consumer in dol-
lars, and the world in resources, for a fix thatdoesn’t fix?
Also, contrary to the general belief thatiron and manganese are harmless in drink-ing water, it is possible that there are nega-tive health effects from high levels of theseminerals in humans. The U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency states on its website that,while manganese is “ubiquitous in the envi-ronment… oral human and animal studieson manganese are inadequate. Several ani-mal studies reported an increased incidenceof thyroid gland follicular cell adenomas andhyperplasia, or increased incidence of pan-creatic tumors.”
My greatest concerns — the water compa-ny’s routine dumping of our precious waterin ineffectual attempts to clear the system ofexcess iron and manganese, and the possibil-ity that our water contributes to medicalconditions in some of the community — leadme to the conclusion that it’s time to get somehealth experts involved, perhaps from aresearch university, to test the water, to studyhealth and conservation factors, and toadvise of viable options. If our water provesinsufficiently clean, maybe a better source ofclean water can be located, or perhaps thereare sufficient reasons to justify considerationof a water treatment plant. Surely the costcould be at least partially offset by the reduc-tion of water used to flush the system, and bysecuring grants to fund such a conservationproject.
I sincerely hope that the WhitinsvilleWater Company will be responsible enoughto seek expert assistance in finding a resolu-tion to this matter, for a resolution is what weneed, now.

OPINIONWhat’s new(s) with you?
What we call “the news”seems to be gettingstranger — and muchless newsworthy — on
a daily basis. Whether it’s foundon the printed page, the dailywebsite, the homegrown blog orthe nightly TV newscast, most ofit’s depressing, distasteful, pan-dering, political, annoyinglyrepetitive or otherwise question-able communication.
Recently, TV newscasters remem-bered the fifth anniversary ofKatrina, the 189th day of coverage ofthe Gulf “oil spill”/explosion, the47th anniversary of Martin LutherKing Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech,and the 269th consecutive eveningcar crash into abuilding/home/business in thegreater Boston area.
So-called “celebrity news” is evenworse. Who cares about the ongoingmisadventures of (fill in the name ofyour favorite misbehaving celebrity,if you have one)? I suppose the IRSand the National Association ofDivorce Lawyers need to know thatTiger Woods and what’s-her-namehave officially split, but except forthe three or four dozen amorous col-laborators listed in the divorce pro-ceedings, who else needs to knowthe details?
On the other hand, some stories
are going a trifle under-reported.Take, for instance, the slight prob-lem (potential salmonella poison-ing) with a half billion (give or takea breakfast McMuffin or cheeseomelette) of our daily eggs. Half abillion? Seems to me that while thatrepresents “only two” egg suppliersand we’ve been advised “not toworry” by those in the know, thereal problem is so potentially far-flung that they must have decided,“Let’s downplay it. Why scare ‘emwith the details? They’ve got to diefrom SOMETHING, don’t they?”
Those two suppliers, if they don’town the bulk of the market, seem tobe putting a sizeable segment of theegg-buying/consuming public atrisk, and whether it’s too late or not,I’d like to know what, if anything,has been/is being done to correctthe problem and to prevent its reoc-currence. It’s like when they(American retailers) were poisoningall our cats with tainted pet food
(from China, I believe). We knowhow swift they were to remove allthe bad pet food from the storeshelves. And they didn’t put it allback out there again until they hadthoroughly relabeled and repack-aged it — and added a penny or twoto the cost, to give the impression ofhaving improved its safety!
But what have they done about ahalf billion bad eggs? And whyweren’t they preventing the problemin the first place? Don’t we havefood-safety agencies in place? Aren’tthere inspectors inspecting things?Did they say this time, “Whoops — Ifound two bad eggs in this batch! Letme know when it gets up to abouthalf a billion and we may have toconsider doing something!” Maybeyou look at such things with a sun-nyside perspective, but I’d like to seea hard-boiled detective get crackingon this case. So what if someone hasto scramble for answers? We can’tlet this one go over easy, or the FDAwill end up with egg on its face. Andthe yolk will be on you, me, and therest of us!
Another story that, from my per-spective, went a tad under-reported,was released back in May. Thereportage went something like this:“Blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada,biggest story of the year, blah, blah,blah, yada, yada, yada. Now back to
our minute-by-minute coverage ofLindsay Lohan’s fingernail art-work!” What went under-noticedwas this: “For the first time ever, sci-entists have created actual artificiallife.” The Associated Press and BBCand other very reliable news organi-zations did report the event, credit-ing Dr. Craig Venter and his team (atthe J Craig Venter Institute) withcreating “a single cell of yeast witha complete set of artificial DNA thatfunctions and looks exactly like anatural cell of yeast.” OK, so it’s notexactly Dr. Frankenstein, you say,but I say, “Not YET — but you wait!We’re only a hop, skip, and DNAjump away from the ‘far-reachingand philosophically questionable’implications mentioned in the briefnews story.”
According to the BBC report, Dr.Venter called his creation “the firstself-replicating species we’ve had onthe planet whose parent is a com-puter.” The doctor and his teamhope soon to be engineering cells(via that computer/parent, presum-ably) that will “suck up carbon diox-ide from the atmosphere” or providemankind with a “high-yielding bio-fuel.” Which may explain whyExxon has already signed a contractwith Venter’s company, SyntheticGenomics, for $600 million to fundresearch into the production of bio-
fuel from algae.OK, I certainly don’t pretend to
understand most of this. I onlyknow that I’d rather have hadMichael Crichton (who recentlydied) dramatize it for us (as he didwith cloning, in “Jurassic Park”)than whoever will be left to do it —probably Stephen King, who’s a tadmore, shall we say, frightening, andmuch less optimistic. One of the keyphrases in the original BBC storynoted, “No one knows how theseartificially directed cells will behavein nature, and we are hopingresearchers will keep them exclu-sively in labs until they can figurethat out.”
Hope we may, but we’re talkingabout the same pool ofresearchers/experts/governmentscientists who certify the safety ofour eggs, our cat food, our madcows, and our tainted spinach. Notto mention the brakes and accelera-tors on our cars that keep crashinginto our and private buildings.
I wish Dr. Venter would come upwith a computer that gave birth to acolumn on an as-needed (weekly)basis. But I doubt that Exxon wouldwant to fund that one!

Celebrate students’ potential
This year’s opening ofschool holds a particu-larly unique blend ofchallenges and tri-
umphs. We commence a newschool year in the midst of aneconomy that is improving ata painfully slow rate. Fear of aburgeoning national debt andthe end of one-time stimulus funding hasresulted in dire predictions about futurestate and national educational spending.Limited local dollars drive increased scruti-ny of every spending request and often pitmunicipal service providers against eachother and local schools against their region-al partners. Yet each new listing of bus stops
reminds us of the individualstudents who wait to embarkupon the next phase of theireducational journey andharkens us back to the heart ofthe educational mission.
Massachusetts is among 10states just awarded covetedRace to the Top funds. This
influx of $250 million in federal funding foreducation comes on the heels of the exten-sion by Congress of enhanced FederalMedical Assistance Percentages funding,which is expected to bring an additional $600million to the state treasury this fiscal year.In my role as president of the MassachusettsAssociation of School Superintendents, I am
privileged to have a front row seat at statedeliberations on how best to spend thismoney. The good news is that, while thenational reform agenda may not be movingforward as swiftly as some would like, ourstate has led the nation in education reformand has not waited for federal mandates todo what is best for our students. As the Raceto the Top award confirms, Massachusetts isfirmly entrenched in a culture of continuousimprovement that need not wait for march-ing orders from afar. The dialogue now mustbreach polarized political agendas to maxi-mize this infusion of funding to continuetrue education reform that will benefit allstudents in classrooms across theCommonwealth.
Economic challenges demand new strate-gies and creative engagement. We need todraw upon the diverse skills that industrynow requires to forge new partnerships andengage the entire community. I invite allschool stakeholders to celebrate the vastpotential of our student customers and tojoin educators and state policymakers inembracing the possibility of turning chal-lenges into opportunity.

Looking at the Daily Mirror
to indicate emphasis.The Daily Mirror still got the point across.
Yes, there is a traffic jam in China; it has beengoing on for 10 days; there is a 60-mile line ofcars on the Beijing-Zhangjiakou highway, andit may last until mid-September.
But instead of simply saying all of thosethings, like my American radio announcer
did, the material is presented in a less formalway — feeling more like someone you know istelling you the news, rather than objectivelypresenting it. This is a rather benign example,but it begins to illustrate the point.
There’s nothing wrong with adding a bit ofpersonality into hard news, in some ways. Itmakes the lack of objectivity more present —forcing the reader to question things. OK, thereader might think, the information is here,but I can see it’s being presented by a person
who clearly is into it and has opinions aboutit, too. And then: how do I sort that out, to findthe objective facts? It forces the reader —hopefully — to engage in a process of critical-ly questioning the source.
It’s a thought process that I don’t oftenengage in when I read news, which strivestoward a more objective ideal. After all,there’s no apparent opinion to sift through.
But after reading the Daily Mirror, it makesme wonder if, in some cases, where the stakes
are higher than a traffic jam, if it’s ever possi-ble for a news reporter — however well inten-tioned — to truly present the facts objective-ly… and if we’re missing out on that criticalquestioning process when we accept some-thing as objective.

NORTHBRIDGE — Tests showedcoliform bacteria in NorthbridgeWater System (not Whitinsvillesystem). Our water system recent-ly violated a drinking water stan-dard. Although this incident wasnot an emergency or a health issue,as our customers, you have a rightto know what happened and whatwe did to correct this situation.
We routinely monitor for drink-ing water contaminants. We tooktwenty samples to test for the pres-ence of coliform bacteria duringAugust. Four of our samplesshowed the presence of total col-iform bacteria. Al samples hadonly one or two bacteria in thewater, which is not a health con-cern. However, the current law isthat no more than one sample permonth may do so. EPA is in theprocess of changing this law torequire notification only when ahealth standard is exceeded (whenother bacteria are detected otherthan coliform bacteria).
What should I do?• You do not need to boil your
water or take other correctiveactions. However, if you have spe-cific health concerns, consult yourdoctor.
According to EPA current law,people with severely compromisedimmune systems, infants and someelderly may be at increased risk.These people should seek adviceabout drinking water from theirhealth care providers. General
guidelines on ways to lessen therisk of infection by microbes areavailable from EPA’s Safe DrinkingWater Hotline at 1 (800) 426-4791.
What does this mean?This is not an emergency. If it
had been, you would have beennotified immediately. Coliformbacteria are generally not harmfulthemselves. Coliforms are bacte-ria, which are naturally present inthe environment and are used asan indicator that other, potentiallyharmful, bacteria may be present.We did not find any of these bacte-ria in our subsequent testing, andfurther testing shows that thisproblem has been resolved.
What happened? What was done?Small amounts of coliform were
found ONLY in the Northbridgesystem and not the Whitinsvillesystem. Chlorine dosages wereincreased at the sources and thewater tank in Rockdale was disin-fected. You may have noticed anincrease in chlorine odor to thewater. This is completely safe andhas been done so to ensure there isno residual bacteria in the watersystem. All repeat samples showedno coliform bacteria.

Rams take on Millbury in season opener Sept. 9year) and Ernie Richards, formerlyof Millis, turned his baseball capbackward to signal solidarity withhis young charges and inspired gift-ed players like Nate Moore and JeffParcells to lead the way to an even-tual 31-2 streak in 1991-93.
In recent years, the Millbury-Northbridge contests have beenquite exciting. Both teams haverelied mainly on the pass.
The two teams open the 2010 sea-son with an encounter at 7 p.m.Thursday, Sept. 9 at Lasell Field inNorthbridge.
So it’s nail-biting time once again.
“The senior line has good size,”said Northbridge coach KenLaChapelle, “but only one returningstarter. We’re resting a lot on theirshoulders.”
They include returning guard andlinebacker Zack Henneman (5-10,220), Logan Bernard, a 6-2, 230-pound two-way tackle, John O’Brien(6-1, 235), center and defensive tack-le, Joe Orphin (5-10, 240), one of thebest tacklers on last year’s team, andNick Calfa (5-10, 190), an offensivetackle and defensive end.
Asked about 6-5, 190-pound juniortight end Harrison Murphy,LaChapelle said he could be an effec-tive receiver for his brother TomMurphy.
Coming off a 10-3 season thatended with an 11-7 loss to DavidProuty in the Super Bowl,Northbridge has much of its offen-sive weapons intact. But it will behard to fill the shoes of all-stateoffensive and defensive end CaseyHippert, linebacker Matt Consigli,running back and defensive backTyrell Damon, defensive standoutGino Perro, kickers Ben Richardsand Nick Ducey, Sean Clark, tackleKyle Bonet and some others.
Nevertheless, the Rams are notexactly quaking in their boots,either.
In 6-3, 185-pound Tom Murphy,they have a quarterback who com-pleted 142 passes in 243 attempts ayear ago for a total of 1,925 yardsand 17 TDs. Besides that, Murphyran for 548 yards on 68 carries, sevenof them touchdowns.
While LaChapelle expects greatthings of 6-1, 185-pound wide receiv-er Evan Mackintosh, who snagged11 passes for 201 yards and 3 TDs lastyear, he is also anticipating what hethinks may be some surprisingplays from Corey Pryor, a basketballstar who has not played footballmuch but has impressed the coach-es.
Sizing up the coming season,LaChapelle said: “We’ve got to getmore play action.”
Beginning his 35th year at thehelm of the Rams (277-87-5 from
1976-2009), LaChapelle has mentoredpocket passers and play-action sig-nal callers.
“He can run and throw,”LaChapelle explained his decisionto let Murphy move around.
“We’ll be patient before we openup,” the coach said. “We know weneed to run the ball some.”
“Although we have a quarterbackwho threw for close to 2,000 yardsand ran for more than 500 yards,”LaChapelle said, “we still feel he canbe even better.”
“He’s deceptively fast and has agood sense of how to set up blocks,”he said of Murphy, who along withEvan Mackintosh, Greg O’Donnell,Sean Kinehan, and Jake Ryan on thefootball team helped win the 2010State Division 2 BaseballChampionship. Not surprisingly,Murphy was 8-0 on the mound withan ERA of 0.66. Macintosh was 10-1with a 1.20 ERA.
Despite some skilled players,LaChapelle called his team “youngand inexperienced.”
He said if Northbridge can wintwo or three games early on, it couldhelp the team’s confidence and put iton the right track, “and we couldbecome very good.”
Both experience on the one handand momentum on the other canplay a big part in how a footballteam does, he explained.
Gaining confidence is “half the
battle,” he added.Asked how he plans a game,
LaChapelle said “you are workingtwo plays ahead all the time.” Hesaid he has the team practice certainplays “you know you’re going to callin the third period.”
“Occasionally,” he acknowledged,“you get stumped.”
Not a believer in going at an oppo-nent’s strength, LaChapelle said helooks for weaknesses.
He praised his staff, with kindwords for defensive coach MattGauthier.
“He prepares them well,” he saidof Gauthier, a Super Bowl quarter-back at Northbridge in 1989 toamplify LaChapelle’s own experi-ence at that position forNorthbridge and later in semi-profootball. “He does a good job scout-ing opponents.”
“It’s extremely important toimprove each week,” he said,” tomake sure there is regularprogress.”
LaChapelle is also hoping forincreasingly solid performancesfrom a corps of linebackers thatincludes Henneman, O’Donnell,Colby Brochu and Nick Abraham.
He lists sophomores Matt Phelanas a defensive back and a possiblereceiver, Dan Clasby as a linebackerand split end, and Jake Ryan as astrong safety and “a factor (as a tail-back) on offense.”

Senior Scene
REGION — Sen. Richard Moore, D-Uxbridge, welcomedlast week’s news that the Patrick administration has allocat-ed $204 million from the federal Education Jobs Fund toschool districts across the Commonwealth.
The additional funding brings state support for publicschools to its highest level in history, Moore explained. Acombination of state and federal dollars totaling $4.07 billionwill ensure that school districts receive more state aid — atleast $25 per student — than they did last year. The newfunding, will support an estimated 2,700 teaching positions,including many in area communities within the Worcester &Norfolk Senatorial District
For school districts within the Worcester & NorfolkSenatorial District, the new funding amounts to a district-wide total of $5,919,962 over the original fiscal year 2011appropriation as the new school year begins. The additionalfunding is followed by total allocation:
Bellingham $402,885 $8,544,533Douglas $389,055 $8,745,968Hopedale $272,925 $6,170,324Milford $697,488 $15,981,406Northbridge $624,513 $14,333,949Oxford $95,207 $9,669,233Sutton $255,555 $5,430,070Uxbridge $428,289 $9,503,624Webster $406,802 $10,096,065B/M $495,486 $11,155,341D/C $1,097,844 $24,916,505Mendon-Upton $567,217 $12,591,637BVT $186,696 $7,659,968Bay Path - $9,533,089
Any school district not receiving additional federal aidhad already met or exceeded the $25/pupil Chapter 70adjustment within the FY11 budget signed by the gov-ernor in June.
“A strong system of public education has alwaysbeen a major source of pride, and especially for devel-oping a skilled workforce, in Massachusetts since the
days of Horace Mann, more than 150 years ago,” Moore said.“These urgently needed funds will help school districts inmy area, and across the state, to remain competitive and toretain good teachers. It is a jobs bill by retaining teachersand by helping to ensure a skilled workforce for the future.”
Moore said he was among several area legislators whourged the Patrick to distribute the funding by using theChapter 70 education aid formula as requested by severallocal school districts.
“While the Chapter 70 formula isn’t perfect, and may needadjusting, it is one that is understood by every superintend-ent and school committee,” he said. “I commend the gover-nor for using an established formula to distribute these wel-come new funds.”
On Tuesday, Aug. 10, President Obama signed theEducation Jobs Fund into law, providing $26 billion nation-wide to preserve jobs for teachers and other school-basedemployees. The Commonwealth’s $204 million appropria-tion will be directly distributed to school districts throughthe state’s education funding formula and combined withstate and federal funds to ensure that every school districtacross the state meets its foundation level budget for the2010-2011 school year. With this new infusion of federal fund-
ing, the governor is able to fully fund Chapter70 without the need to use about $60 millionin American Recovery and Reinvestment Actfunds available for general government pur-poses.
“Students cannot be successful without awell trained and fully supported teacher atthe head of the classroom,” said Elementaryand Secondary Education CommissionerMitchell Chester. “These funds will help tocounter the fiscal downturn that our districtsare experiencing.”

Outreach program seeks to help people in need
United Presbyterian Church.Included are Leader MichaelSlayter, a veterinarian; KathyMiedema, a retired English andsocial studies teacher; SusanPhoebe, a pharmacist; KevinReddig, an electrician; BlytheSabourin, a college student concen-trating in elementary education;Laurie Sabourin, a waitress;Michael Sabourin, a food provider;Brandy Giemza, a foster parent.
Caregivers work only with per-sons of their own gender. Carerecipients must be at least 18 yearsold.
“The Stephen Ministry is a totalsystem of recruiting, training andsupporting lay members in a min-istry that provides emotional careto those who have gone throughadverse, life-changing issues,”Slayter said.
“We are not trying to recruitchurch members. We will ministerto people of other churches or topeople without a church.”
“We are extensions of the pastor(the Rev Rick Underwood),” headded, noting that one of the rea-sons the organization was foundedwas that there are not enough pas-tors to go around and that is whylay people need to help with a min-istry to those in need.
“We don’t pretend to have theanswers,” said Slayter, “but if wecan help people get their thoughtsout in talking, even if it takes sixmonths, then the answers tend toflow.”
Slayter said the issues peopleoften need to talk about are divorce,loss, anxiety and depression.
“We do not deal with anythingbeyond mild depression,” he said.But the Stephen ministers help per-sons find professional help when itis needed.
“We minister only one-on-one inan open-minded way for anywherefrom eight to 12 months,” he said.
“Everyone faces fear and uncer-tainty at some time,” Phoebe said.“If they are willing to open up,we’ll be there to listen to them sothey don’t feel alone in their hurt.”
All the Stephen Ministersstressed how essential confiden-tiality is.
Slayter said more than 500,000Stephen Ministers have beentrained worldwide and that theorganization exists in all 50 statesand in 20 countries.
Some 13 Stephen caregivers havebeen trained from the UnitedPresbyterian Church since a chap-ter was started up here in 2005. Hesaid the caregiver’s commitment isfor two years.
“The essence of Christianity isour relationship to each other,”Slayter said. “Our founder
(Kenneth Haugk) said Christianityis not a spectator sport.”
Reflecting upon the hurdles fac-ing caregivers, Phoebe said “peopledon’t know what to say or not to sayto hurting people without beinguncomfortable. They don’t need tosay anything. But we are givenwords to say. Instead of skirtingaround the subject, we’re notafraid to say it.”
“People avoid people in pain,”she said, “so a person in pain feelsrejected.”
“It’s like the elephant in theroom that doesn’t get talkedabout,” said Laurie Sabourin.
They all agreed the degree of the-ology or religion (referred to) iskept at the pace dictated by the carerecipient.
“The problem,” said Slayter, “isgetting people to step forward andsay ‘I’ve got this going on.’ Peopledon’t want to admit they have aproblem.”
“People live in big families andcan’t talk to them,” he added.
“People are too busy being bigand strong,” Phoebe added.
“I think it takes a real man toadmit that he’s got feelings,”Slayter said.
Kevin Reddig made an appeal toother congregations to startStephen Ministries. There are afew other churches in the area withthe program, including GoodShepherd Lutheran Church in
Westborough and a Congregationalchurch in Shrewsbury.
One caregiver spoke of the“guilt, uncertainty and downgrad-ing of self” that went with one carerecipient’s divorce.
Another spoke of how a seniorperson felt a burden to the chil-dren. Sometimes older personsreflect on their lives and think theyshould have done better. Stephenministers often find persons withextreme self-doubt and feelings ofloneliness.
“Everyone goes through stressand sometimes people feel there isnobody with them,” anotherStephen Minister said.
Or, as another added, people feelfinancial stress and end up blam-ing themselves for that.
“The one thing you cannot do,”said Slayter, “is despise the self.Because, aside from God’s grace,self-esteem is the most treasuredpossession you have. You can helpyourself if you have someone totalk to and listen to you.”
Slater is also hoping more per-sons will step forward to volunteeras Stephen Ministers.
“You open your life to touch thelife of someone else and you comeaway with the richest fulfilling feel-ing,” he said.
“Guilt, sorrow and fear willsmolder,” he observed. “They willheal but will leave a bigger scar ifkept buried.”
“I think all of us realize our vul-nerability and we know what painfeels like,” Slayter said. Heexplained that a caregiver shouldnot over-identify with the carerecipient. Just as a doctor can’ttreat a patient if he is too involved.
“We engage ourselves in theprocess,” he said, “and let Godbring results.”
“It’s not about me,” Slayter said.“I am not there for my purpose. Weare here to serve, not to be served.”
The Stephen Ministry is nonde-nominational.
Some of the modules of trainingcaregivers receive include “TheArt of Listening,” “DistinctivelyChristian Caring,” “Assertiveness:Relating Gently and Firmly,” and“Maintaining Boundaries inCaring.”
Also, “Crisis Theory andPractice: Danger versusOpportunity,” “Ministering toThose Experiencing Grief,”“Dealing with Depression: TheStephen Minister’s Role,” “HelpingSuicidal Persons Get the Help TheyNeed,” “Ministry to the Dying andTheir Family and Friends,”“Ministering to ThoseExperiencing Losses Related toAging,” “Ministering to ThoseExperiencing Divorce,” and“Providing Spiritual Care.”

Douglas looks to reconfigure storm water bylaw plan
“The Conservation Commission has beenworking on it,” Cohen said. “They have beenworking on it since the Town Meeting withEben [Chesebrough, a member of thePlanning Board] and his list of amend-ments.”
“You have to have the Board of Selectmen,the Conservation Commission and thePlanning Board all supportive,” saidSelectman Paula Brouillette. “Otherwise vot-ers think it’s not resolved. It was not anintent, but disagreement among the boardscame across [at the May Town Meeting].”
“Once the Planning Board has completed abylaw,” LaPorte said, “I’d like theConservation Commission to review it andthen have the Planning Board vote on it.”
LaPorte said it is important to have anelected board [Planning Board] take respon-sibility for the bylaw, and since the PlanningBoard creates the problem, it is proper for thePlanning Board to draft the bylaw.”
“We can’t bring the ConservationCommission in at the last minute,” saidSelectmen Chairman Michael Hughes. “Canwe have a subcommittee as a compromise?”
“Creating a subcommittee means takingthree members’ word,” said Cohen. “Maybewe should give direction to both boards to
come here in 60 to 90 days and give us a status[of the proposed bylaw] report.”
“There has to be an ultimate responsibilityof one board or another,” said Cohen. “TheConservation Commission has been workingon it… Voters want it {a proposed bylaw] tobe looked at again. [It should go] back to theConservation Commission or to us to look atit.”
Cohen noted the Planning Board had for-mally requested to be involved in formationof a proposed storm water managementbylaw.
“Maybe get a joint report,” said Hughes.“We need to get politics out of this.”
“I like the joint report idea — asking both
[the Planning Board and ConservationCommission] to sign the same piece ofpaper,” said Cohen.
Hughes then announced the Board ofSelectmen would like a joint report [by thePlanning Board and ConservationCommission] by the first selectmen’s meet-ing in November. He said he was referring tothe first phase of the bylaw, “not the finalreport.”
“It was confusing and at the last minute,”Cohen said of the storm water managementbylaw proposed last May. “It was very chaot-ic.”

Brewins win Mid-Summer Freeze
Tim Tabor and the Brewin Beersput together a solid run to anothertournament trophy when the teamdefeated the Mulligans 5-1 on Sundaymorning, Aug. 22. The victory cameafter a 1-1-1 qualifying effort thatincluded a loss to the Mulligans.
Team members were not sureFriday evening how they would geltogether, as many introductions weremade before they hit the ice. Theresults were more than encouragingwhen the black and gold stormed outto a first round 10-2 victory behindAaron Ledbetter’s four-goal game andTom Marley’s five-assist night. KevinKeating had a multiple point night,including a laser of a goal after agreat rush through traffic.
Saturday morning the team lookedlike the magic had run out when it fellbehind the Skunx 5-2 in the third.Then it turned into the Scott Geddisshow. He was involved in three goalsin five minutes, including one thatfeatured him spinning through traf-fic, losing the puck and finding itagain three times before he finallyslammed it home. The 5-5 tie ensuredthat the team would clinch a spot inthe finals, as long as it did not lose tothe Mulligans by eight goals.
The Mulligans did win, but onlyafter defenseman and master strate-gist Seth Baldelli suggested that theforwards play defense and thedefensemen play forward. It workedperfectly for Brian Dauphinais, whonetted a hat trick playing up front.The Mulligans scored four, which pro-vided them with the victory, but notbefore Jeremy Lemoine mixed it upwith anyone who skated within a footof him, including landing on top oftwo players. Incredibly, he was notwhistled for an infraction.
The table was set for the champi-onship showdown against the sameMulligans team on Sunday morning.The previous lineup change workedto perfection in this one, as everyonemoved back to their natural positionsand the defense took away theMulligan dump and chase game. As a
result it set up the offense and solidi-fied the team effort. Geddis got thingsstarted in the second period, answer-ing just after a Mulligans goal. Marleyscored the eventual game winner on asnipe launched from just over theblue line. Then Bill Driscoll scoredthe next two: the first on a one-timerand the next on a strange non-call bythe referee who clearly raised hishand to call a trip on the Brewins andthen pulled it back down. It wasenough to fool just about everyone onthe ice, including the Mulligansgoalie who vacated the net. It allowedDriscoll to score an empty net fromhis own blue line. Joe Gurnick sealedthe deal when he swatted the puck outof mid-air and into the net on a beau-ty of a baseball swing. At this point
the game was well in hand.Of course, goaltending was key for
the Brewin Beers all throughout thetournament. Earl Corey was sensa-tional in every game, but his bestgame was in the championship. Hewas directing rebounds far into cor-ners, playing aggressively and han-dling some incredible moves withoutcracking under the pressure.
Not everything went off without ahitch. Keating nursed a sprained kneethrough all four games, Marley took astick to the face four times, but one ofthem took half of his front tooth,Geddis left with a cut across thebridge of his nose and Marc Patridgewas AWOL for the championshipgame.

CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORY EARNS ‘BEERS’ ANOTHER HNIA TROPHY
Demagian reflects on state baseball championshipBY TOM MATTSON
TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER
NORTHBRIDGE — The Northbridge HighSchool Division 2 state baseball championswere a fairly young, undemonstrative bunchled by a coach who cares about baseball somuch it was sometimes painful to observe, ifthat were possible, his silent emotions as agame turned this way and that.
If someone has just smacked a hit andmoved a man to third, you can see a kind oflightness of spirit gather round JohnDemagian. If it is the fifth inning and, rarelyfor this team, the hits are not falling and theruns are scarce, Demagian searches for thedirection he wants to walk in, loops back tothe dugout, sits on the bench while his team ison defense, then moves a few steps toward thediamond to make a point to an infielder oreven an outfielder before retreating to thedugout.
“It’s my best team,” he said in retrospect.“They won the state championship.”
But in his nine years as head baseballcoach, he has had other fine teams, too, a cou-ple that finished 16-6. He was assistant coachto John Susienka when Northbridge won theDivision 3 state baseball championship in1999.
But this was different.And all the suffering through the team’s
long schedule could not ensure the kind ofseason Northbridge had in 2010.
Looking back last week on the team’s 24-1season, Demagian articulated some of thatemotion.
And you could feel how keenly he felt everystep of the way, how sophisticated his intel-lect, despite the outward masquerade.
The latter had to do with his bushy, gray-streaked beard. He and the team made a dealthat he would not trim his beard one bit dur-ing the season until Northbridge won the statetitle
There he was out there in an Appalachian,grizzly beard guiding one or two of theschool’s best baseball teams in history with anappreciation of fine tactical and strategicpoints of the game. That often came aboutwith a huddle at the mid-point of a contestwhen the team needed a boost.
But now, at the end of the summer, when hewas already starting to coach the school’sfreshman football team, Demagian sat in achair near the Middle School athletic officeand did some summing up.
First of all, he had his stat book out for ref-erence.
Demagian went through the list of his 13varsity players, starting with the handful ofseniors on the team and noting theirstrengths.
“Ben Richards, a captain, was 5-0 on themound with a 2.44 ERA and hit .333,” he said.
Tom Murphy caught for him. Matt Consigli,also a captain, played second base for the thirdyear and hit .422. Nick Ducey swung at a .333pace, was a DH and played left field. AndrewDupre was also a DH and an outfielder who hit.278. Mike Curly also played in the outfield andwas a DH.”
As solid as the seniors were, a bunch of jun-iors hit new heights for Northbridge.
Evan Mackintosh was 10-1 as a pitcher, hada 1.20 ERA, and at the plate amassed a schoolrecord swat average of .625.
“In my opinion,” Demagian said ofMackintosh, “he was the best player inCentral Massachusetts.”
“He had 50 hits in 80 at bats,” the coach mar-veled. “That’s an average of two hits a game…In the playoffs, he was 12 of 14 in five games.”
As a pitcher, Tom Murphy was 8-0 with whathis coach called “a mind-boggling” 0.66 ERA.On offense he hit .358 and played catcher andright field as well as pitching.
Third baseman Greg O’Donnell finished theseason with an impressive .535 batting aver-age. He had 46 hits in 86 at-bats.
Both Mackintosh and O’Donnell made theWorcester Telegram-Gazette Super Team.Richards, Consigli and Murphy made the divi-sional all-star team.
Another big contributor was junior SeanKinehan, who played first base and hit .337.
“He had some big hits for us,” saidDemagian.
Junior Matt Litchfield had only five at-bats,but the coach saw a lot of potential in him.
Among the sophomores, Kevin Emmerlinghandled shortstop and got 8 hits in 16 trips tothe plate.
“He was tremendous defensively,” saidDemagian. “He handled every play in the play-offs.”
Another sophomore, Matt Abrain, got hisname in the winning pitcher slot in one gameand had an ERA of 1.58 over 17 and 2/3innings.
“He gave up two walks and had 29 strike-outs,” Demagian emphasized.
Freshmen don’t ordinarily break into astate championship lineup, but Jake Ryan did.
“When Evan (Mackintosh) pitched,”Demagian said, “Jake played centerfield. IfMurphy pitched, Jake played right field.”
Jake Ryan hit .270 on 20 hits in 74 at-bats,”Demagian said.
“Rarely do we play freshmen, especially as aposition player,” said Demagian. “I was notafraid to put him in any game.”
The breakdown on the hitting ofMackintosh and O’Donnell was like this: Ofthe 50 hits Mackintosh socked, 15 were dou-bles, 9 went for triples, and he hit 4 homeruns.He had 46 RBI. More than half his hits werefor extra bases.
O’Donnell’s 46 hits included 10 doubles, 4triples and 4 homers. He had 42 RBI.
“That’s how impressive theseguys are,”Demagian said.
“Our run differential in the play-offs was 38-6 in the five games,”Demagian said.
“Murphy gave up 5 earned runsall season and Mackintosh 11,”Demagian said.
The coach said that, going intothe season, he thought his teamhad a chance to go all the way.
“There were a lot of Northbridgekids on the 2009 NorthbridgeAmerican Legion team that wentto the sectional final,” Demagiannoted. They included Murphy,Consigli, Mackintosh, Richards,O’Donnell, Ducey, Emmerling andAbrain,
“I knew we had a good team com-ing back (from 2009),” he said.
One big key to the 2010 seasonwas bouncing back to beat Auburntwice, once in the playoffs.
Auburn was the state championin 2009, and the Rockets hadreached the state final in 2008.
The Rams opened the 2010 sea-son with its only loss, a 5-2 Auburnvictory.
Eric Swedberg, Auburn’s coach,stopped in the handshaking lineafter the game and said toDemagian: “You’ll be all right.”
His words proved prophetic.Later in the season Northbridge
went up to Auburn and pulled off a12-10 hitting fest.
In the playoffs, Northbridgereceived a bye for its top ranking. Then theRams mowed down Nipmuc, a recent two-timeState Baseball champion in Division 3 but nowin Division 2. The score was 15-3.
Then, at Worcester Tech, Northbridge brokeout of a 2-2 game with Auburn in the sixthwith five runs to take the district semifinal, 7-2, and move on against Groton-Dunstable inthe district final.
“Evan was pitching and in the first inninghe hit a three-run homer in a 3-0 win at TivnanField in Worcester,” Demagian said.
In the state semifinal, with Tom Murphygiving up “two or three hits,” the coach noted,Northbridge defeated South Hadley, 10-0.
“Our pitchers’ command got better as timewent on,” the coach observed. “The intensitywas better.”
Demagian said Mackintosh’s best pitch wasan 83-85 miles per hour fastball, “and 87 oncein a while.” He also throws a curve and achangeup.
“Murphy is more in the 80 m.p.h. range,”Demagian said. “He has a good curve, a greatchangeup and had a splitter toward the end (of
the season).”“Richards has a fast ball and a curve,”
Demagian said. “He throws as hard asMackintosh, from 80 to 85.”
The state final was held in Lowell, withNorthbridge taking the gold after a 3-1 tri-umph over Duxbury, a perennial state power.Mackintosh pitched, holding Duxbury to onerun on three hits and fanned 10.
Consigli tripled in the first inning and a sin-gle by Macintosh brought him home. In thefifth, Jake Ryan singled and took second on awild pitch. Murphy doubled to bring Ryanhome and make it 2-0. In the top of the sev-enth, Murphy led off with a single., Consigliwas hit by a pitch and O’Donnell singled toload the bases. Richards socked a line drive toleft center that Duxbury’s Tom Guilfoilesnagged with a diving catch. But it was goodenough to allow Murphy to score, making it 3-0. In the bottom of the seventh, Duxbury gotan unearned run.
Northbridge finished strong with a 3-1 winand the state’s top laurels.

SPORTSEnd of summer primetime for outdoors
We are now into thetime of year thatm o s t N e wEnglanders live
for, especially those wholove the outdoors. The coolnights and warm days minusthe humidity can invigoratemost humans into a moreactive healthy lifestyle, butwe needed to endure a finalheat wave of this past week! The fallfoliage in New England can put the finish-ing touches on the landscape that is sec-ond to none and draws thousands of visi-tors to the area to view the spectacle thatMother Nature has created. The change inweather also affects the behavior of ourwildlife, and sets the stage for sportsmeneverywhere to prepare for the comingmonths of winter and their favorite sportof hunting.
• Canada geese will soon be heading southin anticipation of winter, but not in the num-bers of past generations. Thousands ofCanada geese now stick out the winters inNew England as they have adapted to thesomewhat warmer climate and are able to findsufficient food in rivers and fields. This hashad a serious negative impact on water sup-plies, beaches, golf courses, etc. and the nativepopulations of geese continue to grow despitehigher daily bag limits for hunters.
Nuisance geese are being harvested annu-ally, but are not impacting their populationsas they continue to grow! Many sportsmen,including this writer, feel that a longer seasonand higher bag limits are still needed andstate and federal agencies need to step up tothe plate and address this growing and seriousproblem soon! It seems as though duck regu-lations will not change dramatically this year,according to a conversation between thiswriter and H. Heussman, the project leader forMass. Fisheries & Wildlife’s waterfowl pro-gram. Although the public waterfowl meet-ing was held this past Thursday, Aug. 26, hetold me that this year’s regulations willchange little if any except for a two-bird baglimit on pintails (ducks)! The wood duckspring survey is not complete, but the airboatis busy capturing and tagging ducks
throughout the Valley! LackyPond had four more wood duckboxes installed this winter byFisheries & Wildlife and prepa-rations are being made toimprove the boat ramp at LackyPond also this year!
The mallard duck populationis showing a slight increaseover last year and more adultwood ducks are being caught
than in previous years during the taggingprocess.
The early goose season opens Sept. 7 thisyear and has a seven-bird daily bag limit,which is the same as last year. Do not forgetto purchase a state waterfowl stamp, a federalstamp and a 2010 hip number before huntingif you have not already done so.
The final dates for the 2010 waterfowl sea-son and woodcock season should be availablethis week on line with printouts available atall licensing agencies within a week.
• This is a great time for archers to set uptree stands on their favorite deer runs and tomake sure that shooting lanes are clear. Theacorn crop seems to be abundant this year,which is good news for sportsmen. Not onlywill the acorns be a valuable food source todeer and turkeys, but deer will be drawn intoa hunter’s blind or stand to feed on the abun-dant food source, providing some great oppor-tunities to harvest a deer.
Archery season often has the largest bucksbeing taken because the deer are in the primeof the rutting season. The last two weeks ofOctober and the first week of November oftenare the best times to harvest a big buck asthey make serious and careless mistakes thatthey would not otherwise make during therest of the year, allowing the deer hunter theopportunity of a lifetime to harvest a big,monster buck. Archery season begins Oct.18and runs through Nov. 27. This year, deerhunting will open the day after Thanksgivingfor shotgun season.
• Lyme disease is a serious threat to the pub-lic again this year, as more cases are beingdiagnosed than in previous years. Constantdaily monitoring of insect bites are neces-sary to guard against this microscopic preda-tor. Fever, chills and swelling and redness
around a tick bite needs immediatemedical attention! With more peopleoutside at this time of year, thechances of contracting the disease ismuch higher! Ticks can also infect petsand they to need to be carefully watchedfor the disease.
• Saltwater fishing for fluke in RhodeIsland waters has slowed for manyanglers, although some anglers whokeep their honey holes secret are stilldoing well. Sea bass fishing is improv-ing daily with bag limits of these tastyfish being caught around the BlockIsland area. Large bluefish and tons ofstripers are still being targeted by manyanglers around the island. Fishermenwho enjoy catching tautog in RhodeIsland waters will enjoy another greatseason with an eight-fish daily bag limitstarting Oct. 17.
• Cod, haddock, and pollock fishinghas been spotty on the North Shorewith some days better than others. Lastweek’s big blow kept most charterboats in as 6-12-foot waves rolled offshore! Plenty of tuna are still beingcaught but most are being returned tothe ocean because of the new fishingregulations implemented this year.This past week this writer, along withDave Parker, fished aboard theChallenger in Newburyport. A fewlarge pollock and market-size codwere in the catch, but the big fish ofthe day was a blue hake weighing in at36 pounds! The lucky angler with hisbig fish is in this week’s picture.
The fall trout stocking shouldresume in a couple of weeks. The sooner thewaters cool, the sooner the stocking truckswill start rolling. The recent rain has helpeda little to bring up water levels at lakes,streams and ponds, but we need a lot more.
• Local clubs are planning their annual fielddays this month. They are as follows:Whitinsville Fish & Game Club, Sept. 18, the200 Sportsmen’s Club in Webster on Sept. 12,and Wallum Lake Rod & Gun in Rhode Islandon Sept. 12.
All clubs events are open to the public andoffer a wide variety of food and entertain-
ment.The Uxbridge Rod & Gun Club will hold a
Porketta on Sept. 11 at the clubhouse off ofWest Street.

WEBSTER — Local police officers and business owners aregetting ready to lace up their boxing gloves and step into thering, all in the name of a good cause.
The Webster Police Department will host the boxing show-case for the first time in more than six years on Saturday, Oct.23, at the auditorium in Town Hall. Doors will open for theevent at around 6:30 p.m., according to event coordinator andWebster Little League Board Vice President Andy Palmerino.He said the fights will begin around 7:30 p.m., and there will bearound 10 matches during the evening.
Palmerino said tickets would be sold at the door, as well as atPower House Gym in Webster, Uptown Boxing in Southbridge,
the Webster and Southbridge police stations and Chet’sSmoke Shop within the next few weeks.
Police Chief Timothy Bent said the event is beingheld to raise money for the Little League and the policedepartment’s K-9 dog program. He hopes this year’sevent will bring just as many spectators as in yearspast.
“This is similar to the wrestling events,” Bent said.“Several years ago we used to run boxing [events] at theTown Hall and they were popular.”
Bent said this year there will not only be members ofWebster force such as Officers Cindy Johnson andDonald Southall, but members of the SouthbridgePolice Department including Officer Cynthia Iwanski,
who will go up again Johnson in the ring.Palmerino said he is looking forward to the
evening not only to raise money for the worthycauses, but to bring back an event that so manyin the community had previously enjoyed.
“I am looking to recruit a few bar owners,”said Palmerino. “I am still working on that. Thelast one was around 2004, and was either a sell-out or near capacity [show].”
He said residents enjoy the evening because itis exciting for them to see “local celebrities,” inthe ring dukeing it out for fun.
“People are psyched,” said Palmerino. “Theyget amped up for it. The more I got into it, themore I realized that most people don’t know toomuch about fighting. What draws people in isthe [promise] of seeing local business ownersand celebrities, the guy from the shop down thestreet, taking a punch in the face. That is whatthey want to see.”
One member of the community, Clippin’Tymes barber Patrick Lawrence, will be step-ping in the ring in October to represent his shopagainst other area barbers.
Lawrence said when he was first asked byPalmerino to be in one of the matches he wasunsure, because he had never boxed, and felt asthough he was out of shape.
“At the time my weight was a big problem andI couldn’t breath,” said Lawrence as he trimmed thehair of a customer. “I was hesitant at first, but he toldme it would be at a later date, so I said, ‘lets do it.’”
Lawrence has been in training for the last fewmonths at Uptown Boxing on Mill Street inSouthbridge. He said he owes his new love for the sport— along with a 30-pound weight loss — to trainer David
DiGregorio, who has helped him prepare during the last fourmonths for the October fight.
“I am pretty sure [the event] will sell out,” said Lawrence. “Ican’t wait until the day of the fight.”

AUBURN — After 10 years andmore than $90,000, one group ofAuburn residents plans to continueits simple mission — to honor aloved one by raising money andwalking for ALS research.
Team Lavallee consists of 16members. With others, includingmembers of the Thunberg clanfloating on and off the team duringthe past 10 years, the group haswalked in the Cliff Walk for ALS inBuzzards Bay, Cape Cod.
Laura Thunberg said it is hermother, Gay Lavallee, who sufferedfrom ALS (amyotrophic lateral scle-rosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’sDisease) for the last year of her life,which is the main reason why thegroup is honoring her by walkingin the Sunday, Sept. 12 event.
Thunberg said it was her moth-
er’s zest for both life and family thathas kept the team going for the lastdecade. She said the group has col-lected more then $90,000 throughfamily, friends and co-worker sincethe first year they were in the walk.
Thunberg said to date, she haspersonally brought in more than$1,000 for this year’s walk, and saidthe family will tabulate the total ofthe funds right before the walk.
“We got involved as [Lavalleewas] fading,” said Thunberg duringan interview with the AuburnNews last week. “We needed thetransition to stay positive. She didgo on the first walk with us. It wasthe beginning of the end for her.She died two days later.”
Both Thunberg and her sister-in-law, Barbara Lavallee, said Gay wasthe kind of woman who wantedmore than anything to have herfamily be happy and always stayclose. Barbara said, in her opinion,the walk has been the best way tomake that dream come true.
“My mother-in-law was a strong,intelligent woman,” said Barbara.“This walk will help us carry onthat vision [for her].”
Thunberg’s daughter, Lindsey, 12,said her favorite part of walking forALS research is that she has thechance to get together with all ofher family members for that one
day, and take a moment to remem-ber her grandmother.
“Everyone cares about GrandmaGay,” Lindsey said. “Her namedescribes her, she was alwayshappy.”
Barbara’s son, Matthew, 15, saideven though he was only six at thetime of the first walk, he vividlyremembers his grandmother, andhow she came to cheer on the fami-ly. He said she was nothing but sup-portive the whole time.
“She was diagnosed the first timethat we went on the walk,” saidMatthew. “I remember it distinctly.Even though she was in a wheel-chair, I remember her being veryhappy.”
Laura said hearing her childrenand family speak about her motherbrings tears to her eyes. She said itmakes her think about how muchthe event has brought everyonetogether, and she hopes they cancontinue to do it in the years tocome.
“I think it is important for fami-lies [to do events like this togeth-er],” said Laura. “You are able toreflect and remember the goodtimes.”

pine forest to Harrington Pond inneighboring Northbridge. If hereturns to the dam, it will havebeen a 2.5-mile trek. But it is suchan interesting walk, with the tall,cool pines, a babbling brook not farfrom the end of the dam, immense,buffalo-shaped outcroppings, and aplunge into what can sometimesseem a refrigerated level, thatchances are he won’t notice the dis-tance traversed. Although the low-lands along the trail can be coolerthan up high, it is not as midsum-mer-cool as the caves in Sutton’sPurgatory Chasm.
The park is a popular place fordog owners to take their pets, espe-cially weekends. The park rangersstrictly enforce a leash regulation.Below the south side of the dam isan area the rangers have said youcan unleash your dog and let him(her) run. A 45-degree, roughly 50-foot embankment is made up ofjagged rocks that tend to discour-age a dog from running up it tocheck out another dog on top of thedam.
For years, a couple of acres ofcorn grew in the lower area south ofthe earthen portion of the dam.
Logs still lie in neat piles ready forpickup and eventual use as planed boards orto remain as logs for building. At least oneportion of each log looks attacked by insects,but while insects slowly burrow in, if a treeis cut most of it can be salvaged for lumber.
A 50-year-old pine grove on a knoll justsouth of the park admissions office forHarrington Pond was cut down a few yearsago to give hunters a clear view for shootingat birds and animals. Hunters, it wasexplained, pay taxes that help support parkslike West Hill.

Apple Tree Arts to offer early childhood music classesNORTHBRIDGE — Apple Tree Arts is offering three
early childhood music classes this fall in Whitinsville.Classes will be taught in 10-week sessions. Three ses-
sions will be offered during the school year.“We want to encourage new students to join us,” said
Jan Barlow, education director. “The shorter, less-costlysemester structure offers parents an easy way to try ourmusic classes.”
The classes offered include “Music in Motion,” “MixedAge Move & Groove” and “Tots and Tunes.” Childrenlearn musical concepts, tonal and rhythm patternsmasked in play. Parents receive education suggestions, atake-home CD and a parent book. The school uses theinternationally acclaimed Musik Garten curriculum,which provides children with a solid aural foundation andfollows a developmentally appropriate pathway to musicalliteracy.
A faculty member of Apple Tree Arts for three years,Beth Hodgeman will be teaching the early childhoodmusic classes this fall. She also has experience teachingpreschool children and has completed advanced trainingin the Musik Garten curriculum. She lives in Northbridgewith her husband Bill, associate pastor at the PleasantStreet Christian Reformed Church and their two young
children.Hodgeman’s dedication to teaching children is apparent
in the way she describes how she “loves working with chil-dren and seeing them connect to the music in a differentway each week. I try to create an atmosphere where chil-dren and parents can enjoy music together in a positiveway.”
The community music and theatre arts school plans oncontinuing its commitment to the Northbridge communi-ty by offering new music and theatre programs. This sum-mer the school offered “Down on the Farm,” a fun musicclass for young children, and the youth musical produc-tion, “Night at the Wax Museum: the Musical.” In late fall,rehearsals will begin for the musical, “The King and I,”which will be staged at the Northbridge Middle School inearly January.
