WALES — Despite being the area’s<br />

smallest town, Wales has the most<br />

active election season this spring.<br />

Four town seats are contested in oneon-one<br />

races — Selectman, Assessor,<br />

School Committee <strong>and</strong> Board of Health<br />

— <strong>and</strong> the ballot includes two non-binding<br />

questions that, if approved, could<br />

steer the town in a very different direction<br />

from its present course. Those are<br />

seeking information on whether to<br />

abolish the town police department <strong>and</strong><br />

have the state police provide law<br />

enforcement service <strong>and</strong> whether to<br />

continue investigating the concept of<br />

regionalizing the elementary school<br />

with Holl<strong>and</strong>.<br />

The selectman’s race features two<br />

Army veterans vying for a seat being<br />

vacated by Robert March<strong>and</strong>. Both men<br />

(Rupert Story <strong>and</strong> Richard Learned)<br />

have been involved in town affairs for<br />

years in some form, but only Story has<br />

held an elected office before.<br />

In the late 1980s, Story served six<br />

years as an assessor before leaving the<br />

office to h<strong>and</strong>le divorce proceedings, he<br />

said. Since then, he has been in the carpenter’s<br />

union as a construction supervisor<br />

for 12 years <strong>and</strong> 17 years as an<br />

independent building contractor running<br />

R.A. Story <strong>and</strong> Sons, Inc. The company<br />

is not, however, listed on the<br />

Secretary of State’s corporate database.<br />

Expansion at Retirement Co-Op underway<br />

BY GUS STEEVES<br />

NEWS STAFF WRITER<br />

STURBRIDGE — After years of wading<br />

through the state <strong>and</strong> local approval<br />

process, the expansion of the<br />

<strong>Sturbridge</strong> Retirement Cooperative<br />

Community on Kelly Road is underway.<br />

“We’re finally under construction,”<br />

said manager Mary Berry, herself a resident.<br />

“We’ve cleared everything <strong>and</strong><br />

are starting sewer work next week.”<br />

Those sewers were themselves a<br />

major part of the delay. Originally, the<br />

state Department of Environmental<br />

Protection (DEP) ordered the complex<br />

to hook into public sewers on the<br />

grounds that its existing treatment<br />

plant couldn’t h<strong>and</strong>le the load of an<br />

expansion. The Co-op tried to work<br />

with the neighboring Kelly Farm<br />

Realty Trust to bring a public sewer<br />

line down Route 15 (Haynes Street) that<br />

would serve both properties, but that<br />

plan ran aground when <strong>Sturbridge</strong><br />

declared a sewer moratorium a little<br />

over two years ago.<br />

Lengthy negotiations ensued, resulting<br />

eventually in an agreement<br />

between DEP <strong>and</strong> the Co-op allowing it<br />

to build a second small treatment plant<br />

on the property.<br />

“Everybody seems to think the<br />

expansion looks nice,” Berry said, noting<br />

that, so far, it just has grass in a<br />

Turn To VOTERS, page A13<br />

retention basin. “Before, it was this<br />

huge hill with trees on it.”<br />

The project entails building 43 new<br />

mobile homes on a swath of 10 acres in<br />

what used to be a gravel pit slightly<br />

southwest of the existing Co-op. The<br />

Co-op bought that l<strong>and</strong> plus an additional<br />

10 acres from the Kelly Trust,<br />

with the extra l<strong>and</strong> being used for a new<br />

well <strong>and</strong> retention ponds. Some of it,<br />

she added, is wetl<strong>and</strong> that can’t be<br />

developed.<br />

The plans call for the work to be complete<br />

by October. At present, Berry said<br />

the Co-op has several people on its wait-<br />

Casella moves to bar testimony<br />

KAPLAN TAKES WAIT-AND-SEE APPROACH TO WITNESSES<br />

BY MATT REYNOLDS<br />

NEWS STAFF WRITER<br />

SOUTHBRIDGE — Attorneys for<br />

Casella Waste Systems have moved to bar<br />

testimony from witnesses called by opponents<br />

of the company’s proposal to dump<br />

more trash at the town-owned l<strong>and</strong>fill.<br />

At the Thursday, May 1, public hearing<br />

on the l<strong>and</strong>fill proposal — the seventh —<br />

attorney Nancy Kaplan, the hearing officer,<br />

agreed to take a wait-<strong>and</strong>-see<br />

approach on these witnesses, allowing<br />

their participation but promising to expel<br />

any testimony that strays beyond certain<br />

parameters.<br />

“I’m not going to prejudge what<br />

[they’re] going to say or not going to say,”<br />

Kaplan said.<br />

In most cases, Casella objects to the witnesses<br />

— a mix of environmental experts,<br />

l<strong>and</strong>fill experts <strong>and</strong> ordinary citizens —<br />

on the theory that their testimony would<br />

be redundant, irrelevant to the matter at<br />

h<strong>and</strong>, likely to confuse the Board of<br />

Health, or some combination thereof.<br />

Casella operates the Southbridge l<strong>and</strong>fill.<br />

It has asked the Board of Health for a<br />

modification to the l<strong>and</strong>fill site assignment.<br />

The objective, for Casella, is to<br />

bring in trash from across<br />

Massachusetts, while having the l<strong>and</strong>fill<br />

take in much less construction <strong>and</strong> demolition<br />

debris.<br />

In a flurry of April 30 motions, attorney<br />

Robert Kirsch, who represents<br />

Casella, lobbied against admitting testimony<br />

from more than a dozen witnesses<br />

invited by several 10-citizen groups registered<br />

as parties to the hearings.<br />

Attorney Kirstie Pecci of <strong>Sturbridge</strong>,<br />

who represents several citizen groups,<br />

filed a motion defending the qualifications<br />

of the witnesses <strong>and</strong> their suitability<br />

to testify. She also agreed to withdraw<br />

the invitations for some repetitive witnesses<br />

to streamline <strong>and</strong> condense her<br />

case.<br />

Part of that case revolves around the<br />

expected testimony of attorney Veronica<br />

Eady, a member of New York Lawyers for<br />

the Public Interest. Eady is an expert on<br />

the principle of “environmental justice,”<br />

BY WALTER BIRD JR.<br />

STAFF WRITER<br />

STURBRIDGE — Students, teachers<br />

<strong>and</strong> administrators at Tantasqua<br />

Regional Senior High School were<br />

struggling yesterday to cope with the<br />

loss of a young student, the result of<br />

what officials simply called “a tragedy.”<br />

School Principal Steven Bliss would<br />

say only that a female sophomore student<br />

at the school died “sometime late<br />

Saturday, early Sunday morning.”<br />

Neither he, nor School<br />

Superintendent Dan Durgin, would<br />

which looks at the impact of solid waste<br />

facilities on communities with large<br />

pockets of minorities or poor people.<br />

“The Board of Health,” Pecci wrote,<br />

“must be able to evaluate the effect on the<br />

most burdened <strong>and</strong> sensitive members of<br />

[the] community — low-income people of<br />

color.”<br />

To buttress the presentation of Eady,<br />

Southbridge Community Connections<br />

president Lynne Simonds, a citizen-group<br />

leader, has invited eight residents from<br />

this “environmental justice” population<br />

within Southbridge to share their views.<br />

“It would be unjust <strong>and</strong> inappropriate<br />

to bar their story from this hearing,”<br />

Pecci wrote.<br />

“In his motion, Kirsch argued that discussions<br />

of the allegedly disparate<br />

impact on low-income, minority citizens<br />

have “no bearing” on the request before<br />

the Board of Health.<br />

“The neighborhood that is the subject<br />

of the proposed environmental justice<br />

testimony will experience virtually identical<br />

influences from facility-related<br />

truck traffic, regardless of the whether<br />

the proposed modification is allowed,”<br />

Kirsch wrote.<br />

Dr. David Carpenter, an environmental<br />

health sciences professor at the<br />

University of Albany, will testify on the<br />

general public health impact of l<strong>and</strong>fills<br />

that deal largely with “municipal solid<br />

waste” (MSW), the technical term for regular<br />

trash.<br />

“Sweeping generalizations about the<br />

potential impact of MSW l<strong>and</strong>fills are not<br />

offer any details. Durgin, referring to “a<br />

tragedy,” would confirm only that it did<br />

not occur on school property.<br />

Both declined to reveal the student’s<br />

identity.<br />

He notified parents via an e-mail message<br />

sent at 9:15 yesterday morning.<br />

“It is with a heavy heart that we welcomed<br />

the student body to school this<br />

morning, for a cherished member of<br />

our student body passed away over the<br />

weekend,” the message read, in part.<br />

“There is no greater tragedy than the<br />

loss<br />

relevant to this proceeding,” Kirsch<br />

wrote. “Such operations are among the<br />

most heavily regulated in the<br />

Commonwealth <strong>and</strong> are subject to myriad<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards to minimize potential<br />

impacts.”<br />

Elsewhere, he continued, “This l<strong>and</strong>fill<br />

has accepted MSW many years [from<br />

Southbridge], <strong>and</strong> has in place extensive<br />

measure, approved by competent environmental<br />

authorities, that protect the public<br />

health, safety <strong>and</strong> the environment.”<br />

Also appearing on the opponents’ witness<br />

list are Genevieve Cora Fraser <strong>and</strong><br />

William Zinni, both of whom are familiar<br />

with Casella’s history managing the<br />

Hardwick l<strong>and</strong>fill, which was closed last<br />

year after the company lost a battle to<br />

change the property’s residential zoning.<br />

The Hardwick l<strong>and</strong>fill underwent the<br />

same transition now being proposed for<br />

the Southbridge site — from mostly construction<br />

<strong>and</strong> demolition material to<br />

mostly trash. Both l<strong>and</strong>fills have been<br />

overseen by the same management team,<br />

which has prompted Casella foes to claim<br />

that problems experienced in Hardwick<br />

could be precursors of problems to come<br />

in Southbridge, if a similar transition is<br />

approved.<br />

With this claim in mind, Kaplan has<br />

allowed into evidence some documents<br />

related to the record of the Hardwick<br />

l<strong>and</strong>fill. She has excluded others.<br />

Fraser is a former monitor of the<br />

Hardwick l<strong>and</strong>fill. Zinni, a biologist with<br />

the U.S. Department of Fisheries <strong>and</strong><br />

Wildlife, has served on a l<strong>and</strong>fill oversight<br />

committee of Hardwick citizens.<br />

“Comments about a l<strong>and</strong>fill in another<br />

town,” Kirsch wrote, “are wholly irrelevant<br />

<strong>and</strong> would cast no meaningful light<br />

on the decision to be rendered.”<br />

“The Board would be remiss,” Pecci<br />

replied, “if [it] did not review Casella’s<br />

record in this very comparable scenario.”<br />

Under state law, the Board of Health<br />

must accept or reject the Casella request<br />

by May 12 — one week from this Monday<br />

— unless all parties agree to waive or<br />

postpone the deadline. Casella has thus<br />

far refused to do this.<br />

Attorney Pecci has filed a motion to<br />

extend the hearing until May 30, <strong>and</strong> to<br />

give the Board of Health until June 30 to<br />

weigh the evidence <strong>and</strong> reach a decision.<br />

Kaplan made no ruling last night.<br />

Were the deadline to be missed, Casella<br />

could potentially appeal a negative Board<br />

of Health ruling on that basis.<br />

Reached by telephone yesterday, Bliss<br />

said he was notified of the incident on<br />

Sunday, <strong>and</strong> immediately activated the<br />

school’s 19-member crisis team.<br />

“We spent yesterday reaching out to<br />

parents of kids identified as friends of<br />

the deceased to advise them of what<br />

their children would be coming into<br />

[yesterday] morning,” Bliss said.<br />

The crisis team met yesterday<br />

morning, a session<br />

immediately followed by an<br />

emergency faculty meeting,<br />

according to Bliss. An<br />

announcement was made to<br />

the student body around<br />

8:30 a.m.<br />

Bliss then sent notification<br />

to parents. The message<br />

included no specifics,<br />

saying that a student had<br />

died <strong>and</strong> that an emergency<br />

faculty meeting had been<br />

held that morning.<br />

Bliss said a remembrance<br />

banner was placed near the<br />

school’s art studio, to allow<br />

students to write messages<br />

for their classmate.<br />

The message to parents<br />

noted that counselors<br />

would be available for students<br />

“in the hours, days<br />

<strong>and</strong> weeks to come.”<br />

that supports public programs <strong>and</strong> educational<br />

activities in the arts, sciences <strong>and</strong> humanities.<br />

The North Brookfield Cultural Council is part<br />

of a network of 329 local volunteer councils that<br />

serve every city <strong>and</strong> town in the state. The program<br />

is the largest, most decentralized one of<br />

its kind in the United States. The state legislature<br />

provides an annual appropriation to the<br />

Massachusetts Cultural Council, which then<br />

allocates funds to each local council based on<br />

population size. Local councils decide which<br />

projects to support, based on their community<br />

needs.<br />

“We’re extremely pleased with this year’s<br />

grant winners, not only because of the high caliber<br />

of their proposals, but also because they<br />

perfectly fulfill our local priorities,” said<br />

Harbour Fraser Hodder, chairman of the North<br />

Brookfield Cultural Council. “Our top priority<br />

is to fund local organizations <strong>and</strong> individuals<br />

proposing community-building projects that<br />

support children <strong>and</strong> families, teens, seniors,<br />

<strong>and</strong> multi-generational groups. We also try to<br />

provide seed money for new community efforts.<br />

And we look for programs that match the input<br />

we received from residents during our<br />

Community Input meetings <strong>and</strong> surveys last<br />

year. The North Brookfield Wish List includes<br />

anything having to do with music, such as concerts<br />

<strong>and</strong> classes; theatre, such as musicals <strong>and</strong><br />

children’s plays; art <strong>and</strong> literature; <strong>and</strong> history<br />

<strong>and</strong> nature.”<br />

Selectman James Caldwell honored the first<br />

five award winners, who have brought or are<br />

bringing music <strong>and</strong> art in various forms to<br />

North Brookfield. Residents have already<br />

enjoyed three musical presentations this<br />

Spring supported by the Cultural Council. The<br />

first was a $300 LCC grant for a St. Patrick’s Day<br />

concert by the Glenshane Irish Folk Duo at the<br />

Senior Center in March. The husb<strong>and</strong>-<strong>and</strong>-wife<br />

act brought Irish songs <strong>and</strong> instrumentation,<br />

humorous stories, <strong>and</strong> interactive sing-alongs,<br />

to a delighted capacity crowd in a program cosponsored<br />

by the Friends of the Senior Center<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Council on Aging.<br />

During April vacation week, the North<br />

Brookfield Cultural Council also awarded a<br />

$350 LCC grant to bring musician <strong>and</strong> storyteller<br />

John Porcino to the Haston Free Public<br />

Library to perform “To Life! Celebrations of<br />

Story <strong>and</strong> Song” for children of all ages. This<br />

popular program wove together musical performances<br />

on the guitar, fiddle, <strong>and</strong> folk instruments<br />

from around the world with humorous<br />

<strong>and</strong> instructive stories.<br />

With a $250 LCC grant the Friends of the<br />

Haston Free Public Library presented a Spring<br />

Concert of “Songs of Love <strong>and</strong> Spring” by the<br />

LCC grant. This community-building event fulfills<br />

many of North Brookfield’s cultural priorities<br />

in a day-long festival, by bringing together<br />

a wide range of musical performances that<br />

appeal to all ages <strong>and</strong> tastes, as well as artists<br />

<strong>and</strong> crafters who exhibit <strong>and</strong> sell their work.<br />

Jason Nagle, chair of the Festival Committee,<br />

invited artists, crafters <strong>and</strong> musicians to contact<br />

him about participating at nb_arts<strong>and</strong>musicfestival@yahoo.com.<br />

In October, the Massasoit Art Guild Art<br />

Brookfield’s municipal buildings. Before the<br />

exhibit in Spencer, all the North Brookfield<br />

paintings will be on view at the Haston Free<br />

Public Library. North Brookfield artist <strong>and</strong><br />

Guild member Carole Bentley, <strong>and</strong> Mary Kay<br />

Ebersold, president of the Massasoit Art Guild<br />

were pleased to accept a $350 LCC grant for the<br />

prize money to be awarded to the winning<br />

artist.<br />

Caldwell next honored four award winners<br />

who are bringing theatre in its many forms to<br />

North Brookfield. The Friends of the Town<br />

House received a $550 LCC grant to celebrate<br />

the 100th anniversary of George M. Cohan’s<br />

musical “Fifty Miles from Boston,” with performances<br />

here in North Brookfield, May 2 <strong>and</strong><br />

3, at the North Brookfield Elementary School.<br />

This project is a community-building production<br />

that brings musical theatre to town <strong>and</strong><br />

creates an opportunity for the rebirth of the<br />

North Brookfield Theatre Guild; the script <strong>and</strong><br />

score about North Brookfield is owned by the<br />

Historical Society <strong>and</strong> will appeal to all ages;<br />

<strong>and</strong> the performances will help raise funds for<br />

the future restoration of the Great Hall of the<br />

Town House as a cultural center. The famous<br />

Cohan family gave a performance in the Great<br />

Hall during their summer visits, <strong>and</strong> this weekend’s<br />

performances will uplift community<br />

pride by revisiting that tradition.<br />

The North Brookfield Cultural Council is<br />

also helping to bring two one-person shows to<br />

North Brookfield. First, with the support of a<br />

$300 LCC grant, actor Linda Kelley will perform<br />

“Women of the Bible” on Thursday, May 8, at 7<br />

p.m., at the First Congregational Church. This<br />

refreshing interpretation of scripture uses<br />

humor to help modern audiences underst<strong>and</strong><br />

the real-life problems of biblical women. The<br />

event is open to the whole community <strong>and</strong> is<br />

being preceded by a potluck dinner at 5:30 p.m.<br />

With the support of a $200 LCC grant, actor<br />

Richard Clark will bring his one-man show<br />

on Aging, which is coordinating with the High<br />

School English Department for an intergenerational<br />

event for students <strong>and</strong> teachers as well as<br />

seniors <strong>and</strong> residents of all ages.<br />

And the North Brookfield Youth Center also<br />

brings children’s theatre to North Brookfield,<br />

supported by a $500 LCC grant for its Youth<br />

Center Drama Troupe. This winning project<br />

provides children <strong>and</strong> teens with the opportunity<br />

to write <strong>and</strong> produce their own skits about<br />

issues that affect youth today. They perform<br />

their interactive skits in the elementary school,<br />

encouraging audience participation. They will<br />

perform “No Body to Murder” on Friday, May<br />

16 <strong>and</strong> “Fables <strong>and</strong> Follies” on Thursday <strong>and</strong><br />

Friday, June 5 <strong>and</strong> 6 at the North Brookfield<br />

summer. Children will<br />

hear recordings of animals<br />

sounds, feel natural<br />

objects, <strong>and</strong> smell<br />

<strong>and</strong> taste foods made<br />

from edible wild plants.<br />

4 STURBRIDGE VILLAGER • Friday, May 9, 2008<br />

<strong>Sturbridge</strong> Town Meeting concludes, rejects PUBD change, bag ban<br />

BY GUS STEEVES<br />

NEWS STAFF WRITER<br />

STURBRIDGE — Town Meeting<br />

voters gave the town’s pro-business<br />

faction a mixed response Tuesday,<br />

April 29, rejecting both a zoning<br />

change that would allow retail<br />

along Route 15 <strong>and</strong> a plan to ban<br />

plastic bags at some local stores.<br />

In the former case, the change to<br />

what’s called the Planned Unit<br />

Business Development bylaw<br />

(Article 18) failed only because<br />

state law requires all zoning issues<br />

to be decided by a two-thirds majority.<br />

Most voters did support it — 209<br />

to 135 — but that total was just 60.8<br />

percent.<br />

When it was announced, two people<br />

in the crowd said they wanted a<br />

recount using “unbiased counters,”<br />

but Moderator Michael<br />

Caplette declined, <strong>and</strong> nobody<br />

moved to reconsider the issue, then<br />

or later.<br />

Proponent Jennifer Morrison,<br />

vice-chair of the Planning Board,<br />

argued the plan “would make more<br />

likely actual development in an<br />

area the town wanted to have development<br />

occur.” She was referring<br />

to the late-1990s process that created<br />

the bylaw, involving lengthy<br />

hearings by the Route 15 Study<br />

Committee.<br />

Morrison said she <strong>and</strong> some<br />

other Planning Board members<br />

feel the current bylaw allows some<br />

retail in that area as an “accessory<br />

use,” but nobody can agree on what<br />

that term means.<br />

“We believe seven people shouldn’t<br />

make that decision,” she said.<br />

“You, the voters, should make that<br />

decision.”<br />

They did, siding with Finance<br />

Committee Chairman Kevin<br />

Smith’s argument that retail “was<br />

purposely left out” of the bylaw<br />

<strong>and</strong> having it in that area “probably<br />

won’t help our shops on Routes<br />

20 <strong>and</strong> 131” because visitors would<br />

be likely to hop on <strong>and</strong> off the highway<br />

without visiting downtown.<br />

He noted the law already allows a<br />

variety of business types there that<br />

would benefit <strong>Sturbridge</strong> <strong>and</strong> said<br />

the town should revise the master<br />

plan before it adds retail to Route<br />

15.<br />

One voter who said he was on the<br />

original study committee said that<br />

Avove left to right: Moderator Michael Caplette instructs the volunteers he recruited how to count votes on Article 18. Conor Neal <strong>and</strong> Ryan White, the teenagers behind<br />

the bag ban article.<br />

group’s “general consensus” was to<br />

encourage “higher-paid uses than<br />

retail,” including office parks, hospitals<br />

<strong>and</strong> light industry.<br />

“We didn’t want, for lack of a better<br />

term, to waste it on retail,” he<br />

said.<br />

Morrison tried to allay concerns<br />

raised outside the meeting that the<br />

change would open the door to<br />

huge retail complexes, noting the<br />

bylaw’s requirements for minimum<br />

acreage (50, or 25 by special<br />

permit) <strong>and</strong> access only via Route<br />

15, among other things.<br />

Later in the evening, Article 61’s<br />

proposal to ban plastic shopping<br />

bags sparked a debate that was<br />

nearly as long, but a vote that wasn’t<br />

anywhere close numerically. It<br />

was so lopsided there was no need<br />

to count; a few dozen people supported<br />

it while the vast majority<br />

voted ‘no.’<br />

Victor Madison, a Holy Cross<br />

economics professor, kicked off the<br />

discussion by claiming there is<br />

“not a clear environmental benefit”<br />

to switching from plastic to<br />

paper, although he noted that some<br />

areas have seen significant problems<br />

from plastic bags, specifically<br />

mentioning Bangladesh, Irel<strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> San Francisco. Instead, he<br />

argued the ban would be “inconvenient<br />

for consumers <strong>and</strong> more<br />

expensive for retailers.”<br />

Smith <strong>and</strong> other supporters,<br />

however, said such convenience<br />

should take a back seat to “doing<br />

what’s in society’s best interest.” In<br />

some cases, Smith said, society has<br />

had to “legislate the right behavior,<br />

or it won’t happen,” pointing to<br />

smoking in public buildings, car<br />

seatbelts, emission st<strong>and</strong>ards, corporate<br />

accountability <strong>and</strong> other<br />

issues.<br />

The two teens who proposed the<br />

bylaw, Conor Neal <strong>and</strong> Ryan White,<br />

said they intended it to be a starting<br />

place <strong>and</strong> were not favoring<br />

paper bags, but aiming to promote<br />

those made from reusable materials.<br />

Because of their manufacturing<br />

<strong>and</strong> recycling processes (or<br />

lack thereof), “all plastic <strong>and</strong> paper<br />

bags have negative effects on the<br />

environment,” they said.<br />

“It’s a small matter of changing a<br />

habit <strong>and</strong> a big plus for the environment,”<br />

White said.<br />

Several supporters agreed, arguing<br />

that such a bylaw would send a<br />

message about a need to “come up<br />

with environmental solutions that<br />

change the way we do business,” in<br />

Lindsay Goodwin’s words.<br />

Many who voted against it, however,<br />

said they supported the concept,<br />

but did not think the plan was<br />

being h<strong>and</strong>led the right way. Some<br />

said they’d rather see more effort<br />

at creating partnerships with the<br />

business community <strong>and</strong> others in<br />

town to come up with alternatives.<br />

One, Jeff Bonja, noted the plan did<br />

not address the risk of expensive<br />

litigation or enforcement costs.<br />

Afterward, Neal <strong>and</strong> White said<br />

they were “a little disappointed”<br />

that it failed, but intend to continue<br />

working on the issue, including<br />

creating a program for the local<br />

cable access station.<br />

“I really think <strong>Sturbridge</strong> missed<br />

the opportunity to be in the forefront<br />

of Massachusetts on this,”<br />

Neal said.<br />

Almost all of the other warrant<br />

articles passed by unanimous or<br />

nearly-unanimous votes, except for<br />

those the town opted to take no<br />

action on. Doing so, voters<br />

approved allowing commercial<br />

recreation in the Special Use<br />

District, livery in the regular commercial<br />

district <strong>and</strong> a few minor<br />

zoning changes; spending $3.6 million<br />

on sewer system work to<br />

enable <strong>Sturbridge</strong> to pump flow<br />

now going to Southbridge back to<br />

its own sewer plant; creating a tree<br />

committee; <strong>and</strong> allocating money<br />

to various debts, revolving funds,<br />

betterment <strong>and</strong> tourism promotion<br />

efforts, capital purchases, <strong>and</strong><br />

other miscellaneous projects.<br />

The only issue that came up<br />

unexpectedly was a motion by<br />

Finance Committee member<br />

Laurance Morrison to reconsider<br />

Monday night’s decision on budget<br />

item 32, the town clerk’s office<br />

salary line. He argued the debate<br />

had swirled around the individual<br />

in that office rather than the proposal<br />

to create an assistant town<br />

clerk’s job.<br />

After a short debate over the<br />

merits of reconsideration, the voters<br />

decided not to revisit it at this<br />

meeting.<br />

Board of Selectmen OK water ban<br />

BY GUS STEEVES<br />

NEWS STAFF WRITER<br />

STURBRIDGE — After a<br />

public hearing in which no<br />

citizens spoke, selectmen<br />

unanimously approved a<br />

m<strong>and</strong>atory water ban from<br />

May 1 to Sept. 30, but opted<br />

for a version that will minimize<br />

the impact on water<br />

users.<br />

Instead of making the<br />

ban cover the entire period,<br />

they chose to trigger it<br />

when the flow in the<br />

Quinebaug River at a testing<br />

station near the<br />

Southbridge border drops<br />

below 0.5 cubic feet per second<br />

per mile for three<br />

straight days. According to<br />

Town Administrator James<br />

Malloy, that method would<br />

probably cause the ban to<br />

be implemented for “a couple<br />

weeks” in July <strong>and</strong><br />

August.<br />

When it is, residents will<br />

be prohibited from all “nonessential<br />

outside water<br />

use,” where “essential” is<br />

defined as being necessary<br />

for five things: health or<br />

safety, meeting certain regulations,<br />

production of<br />

food <strong>and</strong> fiber, maintenance<br />

of livestock, <strong>and</strong> meeting<br />

“core functions of a business,”<br />

the bylaw states.<br />

“Nonessential” activities<br />

include watering lawns<br />

between 7 a.m. <strong>and</strong> 6 p.m.<br />

<strong>and</strong> washing buildings,<br />

parking lots <strong>and</strong> similar<br />

external surfaces “unless it<br />

is to apply paint, preservatives,<br />

stucco, pavement or<br />

cement.”<br />

Lawn sprinkling would<br />

be allowed, however, before<br />

7 a.m. or after 6 p.m., provided<br />

that odd numbered<br />

water customers do so on<br />

Mondays <strong>and</strong> Wednesday,<br />

<strong>and</strong> even numbered ones on<br />

Tuesdays <strong>and</strong> Thursdays.<br />

Malloy said residents can<br />

have some idea of when<br />

restrictions might take<br />

effect by visiting the town<br />

Web site <strong>and</strong> following the<br />

links to graphs of the river<br />

flow data. He tracked it<br />

back at least seven years, he<br />

said.<br />

“Although this is more<br />

protective of our customers,<br />

it is a good time to<br />

be thinking about water<br />

conservation,” said<br />

Chairman Steven<br />

Halterman before the vote.<br />

He noted there are various<br />

grants available to help<br />

towns educate residents<br />

about conservation.<br />

The meeting’s other significant<br />

subject was also<br />

outdoorsy — a preliminary<br />

discussion of “br<strong>and</strong>ing”<br />

the town’s trail system.<br />

Speaking as a resident,<br />

Conservation Commissioner<br />

David Barnicle said he<br />

believes <strong>Sturbridge</strong> “needs<br />

some kind of uniformity to<br />

the trail guides <strong>and</strong> maps”<br />

that will soon be printed for<br />

many of the town’s open<br />

space parcels, plus on the<br />

Web site, trail signs <strong>and</strong><br />

elsewhere.<br />

“We need something like<br />

the Nike ‘swoosh,’” he said,<br />

noting many people immediately<br />

recognize it <strong>and</strong><br />

countless other symbols. “If<br />

[a visitor] likes something,<br />

he won’t remember the<br />

Heins Farm Property, so we<br />

want him to identify that<br />

with the logo so he’ll come<br />

back to <strong>Sturbridge</strong>.”<br />

To give them some ideas,<br />

Barnicle brought along<br />

Jean Giguere of Smith &<br />

Jones Advertising Agency<br />

to present some of the logos<br />

other areas have used. She<br />

described the process as<br />

“strategic,” including<br />

where to put trails <strong>and</strong><br />

group them “so there’s one<br />

message, one umbrella<br />

that’s<br />

uniquely<br />

<strong>Sturbridge</strong>.”<br />

“Br<strong>and</strong>ing is not just<br />

what goes on the business<br />

card, it’s how you answer<br />

the phone, what’s on the<br />

stationery [<strong>and</strong> other<br />

things],” Giguere said.<br />

“You want to make it inclusive<br />

enough so events [like<br />

work at Hamant Brook] go<br />

under it, [as well as] what’s<br />

on the table today <strong>and</strong><br />

what’s available in 5, 10, 20<br />

years.”<br />

The selectmen basically<br />

agreed with them in principle,<br />

with the only uncertainty<br />

being how to fund it<br />

<strong>and</strong> how far to extend the<br />

idea.<br />

Malloy <strong>and</strong> Selectman<br />

Scott Garieri noted it<br />

should ultimately tie into<br />

the tourism-related study<br />

the <strong>Sturbridge</strong> Heritage<br />

Preservation Partnership<br />

is now conducting, which<br />

aims to similarly br<strong>and</strong> the<br />

entire region. Malloy noted<br />

that group is now exploring<br />

what potential slogans <strong>and</strong><br />

images “mean” to potential<br />

visitors <strong>and</strong> residents.<br />

Others, however, said<br />

focusing on the trails now<br />

<strong>and</strong> tying them into a larger<br />

br<strong>and</strong> later makes sense.<br />

To come up with ideas,<br />

Malloy <strong>and</strong> Barnicle will<br />

hash out a plan to get<br />

“stakeholders” from various<br />

town boards together<br />

<strong>and</strong> others together.<br />

Selectman Harold White<br />

later noted that a previous<br />

meeting discussed in passing<br />

the idea of having a<br />

contest to create such a logo<br />

<strong>and</strong> help “cover the cost” of<br />

br<strong>and</strong>ing the trails.<br />

Family Festival puts the ‘fun’ into funding<br />

• STURBRIDGE VILLAGER 7<br />

Who says there’s nothing to do<br />

in the Tantasqua region? This<br />

season kicks off an array of area<br />

activities, headed by an event that<br />

not only promises fun <strong>and</strong> excitement,<br />

but benefits local students as<br />

well.<br />

The Tantasqua Education<br />

Foundation (Ted.) will hold a<br />

Family Festival from 2-8 p.m.<br />

Saturday, May 17 at Tantasqua<br />

Regional High School in Fiskdale.<br />

The afternoon roster includes<br />

games, sports <strong>and</strong> contests for all<br />

ages, culminating in a basketball<br />

game that pits the Tantasqua 20<strong>07</strong><br />

State Champs against school faculty<br />

<strong>and</strong> alumni.<br />

“We developed Ted.’s Family<br />

Festival to reach out to all the local<br />

communities <strong>and</strong> have a wide variety<br />

of offerings that will appeal to<br />

kids <strong>and</strong> adults of all ages. Basically<br />

we have something for everyone. We<br />

hope families will come down for a<br />

couple of hours or for the whole<br />

event,” said Christine Tieri, a member<br />

of Ted. Board of Directors.<br />

Ted. is a nonprofit organization<br />

dedicated to providing<br />

financial<br />

resources to support<br />

projects <strong>and</strong> programs<br />

the big game later that evening!<br />

tricky talents of a magician. Adults<br />

fabulous fare will be on h<strong>and</strong><br />

HARTWICK, N.Y. — John A. Mott, 95, a native<br />

<strong>and</strong> nearly life resident of Hartwick, died<br />

Wednesday, April 23 at A.O. Fox Memorial Hospital<br />

in Oneonta, N.Y.<br />

He was born March 20, 1913 in Hartwick, a son<br />

of Otis D. <strong>and</strong> Harriet (Brisack) Mott.<br />

He was educated first in a rural one-room school<br />

(White House District); a graduate of Cooperstown<br />

High School, class of 1932; Cornell University<br />

College of Agriculture in 1937 <strong>and</strong> a member of<br />

the Cooperstown Graduate Program, class of 1967.<br />

July 30, 1938.<br />

He taught agriculture <strong>and</strong> shop at Mohawk <strong>and</strong><br />

Laurens schools before returning to operate the<br />

family dairy farm in Hartwick from the 1930s to<br />

the 1960s. After graduating from the Cooperstown<br />

Graduate Program he began employment at Old<br />

<strong>Sturbridge</strong> Village he resided in Fiskdale, Mass.<br />

He was a lifetime learner with many interests<br />

<strong>and</strong> skills, especially in history, photography,<br />

woodworking <strong>and</strong> cabinetry. As a result of his passion<br />

for history, he was one of the original <strong>and</strong> continuing<br />

members of the Hartwick Historical<br />

Society. While at Old <strong>Sturbridge</strong> Village he was<br />

active in preserving <strong>Sturbridge</strong> history through<br />

research <strong>and</strong> many slides <strong>and</strong> photographs <strong>and</strong> as<br />

a member of the Hartwick Historical Society<br />

much of local Hartwick history is preserved in<br />

photographs copied <strong>and</strong> printed by him. In the<br />

Hartwick historical collections, he also copied,<br />

printed <strong>and</strong> framed early photos for display at the<br />

Hartwick Town Hall.<br />

Photography was an interest pursued through<br />

the years <strong>and</strong> he was able to participate in many<br />

professional photo workshops <strong>and</strong> learned photo<br />

printing in the Ansel Adams’ techniques. During<br />

the 1960s he also printed many of the Smith-Telfer<br />

pictures from glass plate negatives for NYSHA. He<br />

was able to travel for photo workshops <strong>and</strong> personal<br />

enjoyment to the Sc<strong>and</strong>inavian countries,<br />

Europe, Russia <strong>and</strong> to the western USA.<br />

Through the years he combined his historical<br />

<strong>and</strong> photography interest in research <strong>and</strong> writing.<br />

In 2005, the Hartwick Historical Society published<br />

one of his books, “Growing Up in the White House<br />

District.” He has written a number of other historical<br />

<strong>and</strong> research accounts, accompanied by<br />

photos, about memories of farming in Hartwick, a<br />

history of agriculture, development at the farm at<br />

Old <strong>Sturbridge</strong> Village <strong>and</strong> stories of Hartwick.<br />

LEARNING<br />

Lights Out project aims to save energy<br />

BY KELLY MCGEE AND ELENA SERIO<br />

TANTASQUA REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL<br />

Have you ever driven down Route 20<br />

late at night <strong>and</strong> noticed how many<br />

lights are turned on? Each one of these<br />

lights contributes to the ever-growing<br />

energy crisis our world is facing today.<br />

Unnecessary lighting both indoors <strong>and</strong><br />

outdoors produces a number of harmful<br />

effects on our environment. Did you<br />

know that one-quarter ton of coal is<br />

burned to produce 100 watts of inc<strong>and</strong>escent<br />

dusk-to-dawn lighting? Burning<br />

this coal produces waste <strong>and</strong> air pollution<br />

that contributes to global climate<br />

change. Excess lighting also adds to electricity<br />

costs for businesses <strong>and</strong> homes.<br />

Light pollution can also affect the<br />

health of humans, animals <strong>and</strong> plants.<br />

In humans it can interfere with circadian<br />

rhythms, interfering with proper<br />

sleep. In animals the behaviors <strong>and</strong> habitats<br />

are dramatically disrupted. In<br />

It is evident that action needs to be<br />

over-lit areas in our community. We<br />

believe that everyone can help to solve<br />

this problem. We are taking action<br />

through our Dynamics of Democracy<br />

Fund cancer<br />

research<br />

Despite a damp, raw day, which dissolved<br />

into miserable drizzle, a h<strong>and</strong>ful of people<br />

attended a Relay For Life benefit concert at<br />

Hyl<strong>and</strong> Orchard <strong>and</strong> Brewery last Saturday —<br />

contributing nearly $300 to the <strong>Stonebridge</strong><br />

<strong>Press</strong> Newshounds Relay team.<br />

The four b<strong>and</strong>s — Matt Benoit of Afterhour,<br />

Flat Top Hank <strong>and</strong> the Salvation Alley String<br />

B<strong>and</strong>, Hey Now … Morris Fader <strong>and</strong><br />

Goofyfoot — put on an excellent show <strong>and</strong> are<br />

to be commended for their community spirit.<br />

For those in the area who were deterred by<br />

the weather, or other commitments, fear not.<br />

There are still opportunities to support the<br />

Relay For Life.<br />

A yard sale hosted by the Ribbon Rockettes<br />

Team will take place tomorrow at 1 Stafford<br />

St., Charlton. A comedy/hypnosis show sponsored<br />

by team F-Troop at 7 p.m. Friday, May 16<br />

brings performer David Gordon’s talents to<br />

the Artist Development Complex at 18 Mill St.,<br />

Southbridge.<br />

But Saturday, May 17 is probably the busiest<br />

fund-raising day of the spring. Besides a voluntary<br />

Toll Road being set up by the Ribbon<br />

Rockettes at the Oxford Wal-Mart from 8 a.m.<br />

to 1 p.m., the Relay’s annual Fun Day takes<br />

place at <strong>Sturbridge</strong> Town Common.<br />

From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., this event — formerly<br />

known as Relay on the Common — brings<br />

together several events, including a multiteam<br />

yard sale, food, music <strong>and</strong> a chance to be<br />

photographed with Red Sox World Series<br />

rings — all designed to entertain while raising<br />

funds for the Relay.<br />

Information will also be available about the<br />

upcoming Relay on June 13 - 14 at McMahon<br />

Field in Southbridge, as will details on how to<br />

participate in “research today for a cancerfree<br />

tomorrow” — the Cancer Prevention<br />

Study-3.<br />

We urge residents to come out <strong>and</strong> support<br />

any of these fund-raising efforts. Whether you<br />

donate a dollar to a Toll Road collection, purchase<br />

that find of all finds at a yard sale, or<br />

just buy a hot dog <strong>and</strong> drink while you browse<br />

or enjoy a day’s entertainment, every donation<br />

counts <strong>and</strong> none is too small.<br />

fund-raising activities, contact Ray Fournier at<br />

As gas prices rise, food<br />

becomes more expensive,<br />

<strong>and</strong> students find<br />

tuition bills quickly mounting,<br />

the three major c<strong>and</strong>idates<br />

campaigning for president continue<br />

to spend millions of dollars<br />

launching their platforms<br />

<strong>and</strong> trying to garner votes.<br />

As a college student looking<br />

at the 2008 presidential race,<br />

having voted in presidential<br />

election for the first time as a<br />

freshman in 2004, I’ve drawn<br />

the quite obvious conclusion<br />

that running a campaign is<br />

expensive. That much is clear.<br />

But what’s less clear is why it<br />

has to be that way.<br />

In 1952, $140 million was<br />

spent “by all c<strong>and</strong>idates <strong>and</strong><br />

parties for all federal election<br />

campaigns—House, Senate,<br />

<strong>and</strong> presidency,” according to<br />

Ben Bagdikian, Pulitzer Prizewinning<br />

journalist <strong>and</strong> dean<br />

emeritus of the Graduate<br />

School of Journalism at the<br />

University of California at<br />

Berkeley. He goes on to note in<br />

his book “The New Media<br />

Monopoly” that by 2000, that<br />

number had jumped to more<br />

than $5 billion — <strong>and</strong> that the<br />

presidential election of 2000<br />

accounted for $1 billion of that.<br />

That’s a huge jump, inflation<br />

aside. But how much will that<br />

number be in 2008, when c<strong>and</strong>idates<br />

like Sen. Hillary Clinton,<br />

D-N.Y, <strong>and</strong> Sen. Barack Obama,<br />

D-Ill., are spending millions to<br />

campaign in a single state in<br />

OPINION<br />

VIEWS AND COMMENTARY FROM STURBRIDGE, BRIMFIELD, HOLLAND AND WALES<br />

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />

Selectman thanks voters for privilege of serving town<br />

To the editor:<br />

It has been an honor <strong>and</strong> privilege to have<br />

served the residents of <strong>Sturbridge</strong>, as a member<br />

of the board of selectmen for the past<br />

three years. It meant a great deal for me to<br />

give back to a community that has given so<br />

much to me. I would like to thank all of those<br />

who supported me in my campaign for reelection<br />

<strong>and</strong> the residents who took the time<br />

to vote in the Annual Town Election. I would<br />

also like to thank the selectmen with whom I<br />

served, their commitment <strong>and</strong> dedication to<br />

our community is admirable.<br />

While it was a disappointment to not secure<br />

To the Editor:<br />

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. would like to take this<br />

opportunity to thank <strong>and</strong> congratulate Conor<br />

Neal <strong>and</strong> Ryan White for their forward thinking<br />

<strong>and</strong> concern for our environment that<br />

brought their school project all the way to the<br />

<strong>Sturbridge</strong> Town Meeting in April. Although<br />

a majority of town residents have decided<br />

that a plastic bag ban is not the best option for<br />

<strong>Sturbridge</strong> community members <strong>and</strong> retailers,<br />

it is these students’ motivation <strong>and</strong> commitment<br />

to the environment that engaged an<br />

entire community in thinking about ways to<br />

become a better place to live <strong>and</strong> do business.<br />

Wal-Mart is committed to the communities<br />

that we serve through charitable giving, community<br />

service <strong>and</strong> environmental stewardship.<br />

We currently offer many affordable <strong>and</strong><br />

environmentally friendly projects such as<br />

CFL light bulbs, concentrated liquid laundry<br />

detergent, clothing made from organic cotton<br />

<strong>and</strong> paper products with “extended roll life.”<br />

For the convenience of our shoppers we currently<br />

offer reusable shopping bags that can<br />

be purchased for $1 <strong>and</strong> recycled at the end of<br />

their life-cycle. We also work with our suppliers<br />

to educate them on ways to decrease <strong>and</strong><br />

eliminate unnecessary packaging to help us<br />

the votes to be re-elected, by Saturday morning<br />

the regret had lifted. By then I, along with<br />

my wife <strong>and</strong> daughter, had the opportunity to<br />

work with other residents to cut a section of<br />

trail on one of our Town parcels. I will continue<br />

to be involved to do my part to make<br />

<strong>Sturbridge</strong> a great place to call home. I urge<br />

others who appreciate the qualities of our<br />

town to be involved. By sharing a small<br />

amount of your time, you <strong>and</strong> the Town can<br />

reap tremendous benefits.<br />

Wal-Mart to begin bag recycling project in <strong>Sturbridge</strong><br />

the primaries.<br />

In March<br />

alone, Clinton<br />

raised more<br />

than $20 million,<br />

while<br />

Obama raised<br />

more than $40<br />

million—<br />

bringing their<br />

KRISTAL end of March<br />

fundraising<br />

KLEAR totals to nearly<br />

$190 million<br />

KRIS REARDON <strong>and</strong> $235 million,<br />

respectively,<br />

according<br />

to the Center for<br />

Responsive Politics.<br />

In just one month alone —<br />

during the primaries, no less —<br />

two Democratic c<strong>and</strong>idates<br />

raised enough money to equal<br />

nearly half of what was spent<br />

by all c<strong>and</strong>idates <strong>and</strong> parties<br />

for all federal election campaigns<br />

in 1952. And in one primary<br />

— Pennsylvania’s —<br />

Obama spent a record $11.2 million<br />

to lose, while Clinton spent<br />

$4.2 million to barely win.<br />

And it’s not just money that<br />

the c<strong>and</strong>idates are spending to<br />

advance their campaigns —<br />

there’s money being spent to<br />

oppose them, too. The Los<br />

Angeles Times reports that $1.2<br />

million had been spent opposing<br />

Clinton <strong>and</strong> that $547,000<br />

had been spent opposing<br />

Obama by late April, mostly by<br />

Republican groups.<br />

Why so much money? And<br />

why, if Obama has spent so<br />

much more than Clinton — <strong>and</strong><br />

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.,<br />

(who raised $15.4 million in<br />

March, according to the Los<br />

Angeles Times <strong>and</strong> only $80.6<br />

since last year) — is Obama not<br />

further ahead in the polls? He’s<br />

had significantly less money<br />

spent tarnishing his campaign<br />

by Republicans than Clinton<br />

has, <strong>and</strong> he’s out-fundraised<br />

<strong>and</strong> outspent both Clinton <strong>and</strong><br />

McCain. He has more delegates,<br />

sure, but if money is,<br />

indeed, the name of the game,<br />

he should be much farther<br />

ahead than he is — both in the<br />

race he is in with Clinton, <strong>and</strong><br />

in the greater race with<br />

McCain.<br />

“…The only way I can win<br />

this race,” Obama said, according<br />

to The New York Times,<br />

“[is] if you decide that you’ve<br />

had enough of the way things<br />

are, if you decide that this election<br />

is bigger than flag pins or<br />

sniper fire or the comments of<br />

a former pastor — bigger than<br />

the differences between what<br />

we look like or where we come<br />

from or what party we belong<br />

to.”<br />

I think a lot of voters can say<br />

they’ve had enough of “the way<br />

things are,” whatever that<br />

might be. But if by “bigger<br />

than flag pins or sniper fire”<br />

Obama means outspending his<br />

competitors to the tune of millions<br />

of dollars, I’m not sure<br />

that’s a real reform at all.<br />

reach our October 2008 goal of a 25 percent<br />

waste reduction.<br />

In light of Conor <strong>and</strong> Ryan’s efforts, Wal-<br />

Mart would like to move forward with the<br />

town of <strong>Sturbridge</strong> <strong>and</strong> its schools with a<br />

plastic bag recycling initiative. Wal-Mart has<br />

partnered with schools across the country in<br />

programs such as the Kids Recycling<br />

Challenge. In this challenge, schools are able<br />

to sign-up to receive plastic recycling receptacles<br />

that can be filled <strong>and</strong> returned to their<br />

local Wal-Mart in return for incentives to benefit<br />

their school. We are excited to work with<br />

<strong>Sturbridge</strong> town <strong>and</strong> school officials to implement<br />

a similar program in the coming weeks.<br />

We look forward to continuing our partnership<br />

with <strong>Sturbridge</strong> <strong>and</strong> again, thank the<br />

students who took the time <strong>and</strong> effort to make<br />

great strides in improving their town <strong>and</strong><br />

environment.<br />

Campaign funds can be better spent<br />

Sometimes, a real reform<br />

takes turning backwards, not<br />

forwards — at least in the way<br />

of campaign spending. The<br />

leap that spending has taken<br />

for elections since the 1950s to<br />

today has excluded c<strong>and</strong>idates<br />

who don’t have or can’t raise<br />

millions isn’t progress at all.<br />

Despite the fact that I’m not a<br />

fan of his, it was refreshing to<br />

see Mike Huckabee get so far,<br />

spending so much less than<br />

other c<strong>and</strong>idates running.<br />

With Americans facing<br />

increased expenses (gas <strong>and</strong><br />

food, to name a few), <strong>and</strong> so<br />

many things in our country<br />

that could use better funding<br />

(education, for one, <strong>and</strong> countless<br />

other initiatives), it’s frustrating<br />

to see c<strong>and</strong>idates spending<br />

so much—<strong>and</strong> so early in<br />

the campaign.<br />

But it’s even more frustrating<br />

to see someone who bases his<br />

entire campaign on saying he<br />

st<strong>and</strong>s for change, <strong>and</strong> advocating<br />

that he is a political outsider<br />

who will run things differently,<br />

out-compete his rivals<br />

in the most traditional of political<br />

games: the money-spending<br />

one.<br />

Pardon the pun, but maybe if<br />

Obama put his money where<br />

his mouth is, I’d look at him<br />

more viably as a c<strong>and</strong>idate for<br />

change. Until then, I’ll continue<br />

to doubt his sincerity along<br />

with every other c<strong>and</strong>idate’s.<br />

Identifying the<br />

inconvenience<br />

The Supreme Court of the United States<br />

rendered a decision last week that may<br />

have relevance for voters in all 50 states.<br />

Except, perhaps, in Massachusetts.<br />

The decision upheld an Indiana law that<br />

required photo IDs for voters at Indiana polls.<br />

Opponents of the law said it made voting difficult,<br />

restrictive, even a hardship for minorities,<br />

the poor <strong>and</strong> the elderly, who<br />

may already be underrepresented<br />

at the polls. In its 6-3<br />

decision, however, the high<br />

court said the law passes constitutional<br />

muster because it<br />

provides an alternative for<br />

people who can’t (or won’t)<br />

get an ID for personal reasons,<br />

<strong>and</strong> because lawyers<br />

challenging the law weren’t<br />

able to produce one single<br />

AS YOU<br />

voter actually disenfranchised<br />

by it.<br />

LIKE IT<br />

Justice John Paul Stevens<br />

wrote, in the decision, that<br />

MARK ASHTON Indiana has “a valid interest<br />

in protecting ‘the integrity<br />

<strong>and</strong> reliability of the electoral<br />

process.’” Evidence of voters being inconvenienced<br />

by the law’s requirements was<br />

“scant,” according to reports, <strong>and</strong>, as might be<br />

expected, the majority of voters can <strong>and</strong> will use<br />

driver’s licenses as photo identification at the<br />

polls.<br />

So at this point, 25 states in the Union have<br />

laws requiring some form of identification at<br />

the polls, mainly in an effort to eliminate (or at<br />

least reduce the potential for) fraud. That<br />

means, of course, that 25 states in the Union do<br />

NOT now require voter ID.<br />

Guess which side of that equation<br />

Massachusetts is on? That’s right:<br />

Massachusetts, long the liberal stronghold of<br />

democracy with a capital D, shows little interest<br />

in adopting such a requirement, which is typically<br />

proposed by Republican legislators <strong>and</strong><br />

opposed by Democrats. (Guess which side of the<br />

argument the American Civil Liberties Union is<br />

on? In Indiana, the ACLU insisted that requiring<br />

verification at the polls “burdens ... tens of thous<strong>and</strong>s<br />

of eligible voters who lack a governmentissued<br />

identification,” totally ignoring the fact<br />

that Indiana provides IDs free of charge to people<br />

without driver’s licenses <strong>and</strong> allows voters<br />

lacking IDs to cast provisional ballots <strong>and</strong> then<br />

show up, within 10 days, at their county courthouses<br />

to attest by any of a variety of means to<br />

their true identities.)<br />

Well, in pondering the notion of “inconveniencing”<br />

voters, I got to thinking about what<br />

kind of IDs are already required of Bay State<br />

residents. Yes, those of us who drive (legally)<br />

already have photo IDs. And people with passports<br />

have that secondary means of declaring<br />

themselves citizens. I underst<strong>and</strong> that many<br />

people in the military <strong>and</strong> those in law enforcement<br />

probably possess such IDs, as well. I know<br />

that some banks <strong>and</strong> credit card companies use<br />

photo identification, <strong>and</strong> lots of folks in real<br />

estate <strong>and</strong> other “people-oriented” professions<br />

wear photo badges. Then, I remembered, I even<br />

have a photo ID card from MY job. Not that it’s a<br />

very flattering photo, but it might suffice at the<br />

polls.<br />

Then I got to wondering, what if they’d settle<br />

for something other than a photo ID, which can<br />

be easily faked nowadays? If necessary, I could<br />

produce a birth certificate, credit cards, an auto<br />

club card, an AARP card, a fishing license, a<br />

health system ID, a library card, a movie rental<br />

club ID <strong>and</strong> a dental plan identification card. So,<br />

if I already need an ID to cash a check in some<br />

places (sometimes even in a strange branch of<br />

my very own bank), if I need a license even to<br />

(try to) catch a kivver, if I can’t board an airplane<br />

without showing my license, if the card I<br />

swipe at the local YMCA throws my photo up<br />

onto a screen, how is it “inconvenient” to have to<br />

verify who I am at the polls?<br />

The truth is, it truly isn’t!<br />

As to disenfranchising the poor, the minority<br />

population, the elderly, the ailing <strong>and</strong> the undereducated,<br />

how would such a requirement injure<br />

any of these folks? Don’t the poor receive identification<br />

by way of welfare services? Aren’t the<br />

elderly verified by virtue of Medicaid, Medicare<br />

<strong>and</strong> prescription ID cards? Isn’t the Social<br />

Security system the repository of identification<br />

even for the ailing, the undereducated, the disabled<br />

<strong>and</strong> the needy? Aren’t we all already “in<br />

the system” somewhere <strong>and</strong> required on occasion<br />

to verify that we’re who we claim to be?<br />

But then it hit me, a law that calls for voter ID<br />

at the polls surely WOULD inconvenience <strong>and</strong><br />

disenfranchise one class of voters altogether:<br />

the frauds. Yes, it truly would make things much<br />

more difficult, maybe even prohibitively so, for<br />

this group to “vote early <strong>and</strong> often” at the<br />

request of some well-monied c<strong>and</strong>idate or party.<br />

Yes, voter IDs might actually remove illegitimate<br />

voters (sometimes, perhaps, also known as<br />

“undocumented workers”) from polling places<br />

<strong>and</strong> voting contests.<br />

What, therefore, should we think about c<strong>and</strong>idates<br />

who want to “give driver’s licenses” to<br />

members of society who have entered the country<br />

illegally? What should we think about “citizens”<br />

unwilling to identify themselves while<br />

exercising one of the sacred duties <strong>and</strong> responsibilities<br />

of citizenship? And, more importantly,<br />

what should we do about it?<br />

The founders never said democracy (with a<br />

small “D”) would be easy — or even always convenient,<br />

just that it would be worth it!<br />

Regional health study seeks community participants<br />

BY GUS STEEVES<br />

NEWS STAFF WRITER<br />

So far, an ongoing Community<br />

Assessment Study hasn’t revealed<br />

anything especially surprising, but<br />

it is becoming a framework on<br />

which future regional health planning<br />

can be based.<br />

Or, more accurately, it will become<br />

that if more community members<br />

get involved.<br />

According to Abby Atkins <strong>and</strong><br />

Steven Ridini of the Medical<br />

Foundation, which is conducting<br />

the study for Community Health<br />

Network Area 5 (CHNA5), the project<br />

has most of the background data<br />

it needs, but it still needs survey<br />

responses from at least 125 residents<br />

of the area’s 15 communities —<br />

Brimfield, the four Brookfields,<br />

Charlton, Dudley, Holl<strong>and</strong>, Oxford,<br />

Southbridge, Spencer, <strong>Sturbridge</strong>,<br />

Warren, Wales <strong>and</strong> Webster. So far,<br />

they said, most respondents have<br />

been from service providing agencies,<br />

<strong>and</strong> “if we could get more information<br />

from people in the community<br />

about what their priorities are,<br />

we’d get a truer picture of what people<br />

want,” Ridini said.<br />

People can participate by picking<br />

up copies at the Community<br />

Connections office on Elm Street or<br />

going online at<br />

http://tinyurl.com/64b3qu. Both<br />

versions exist in English <strong>and</strong><br />

Spanish.<br />

Lynne Simonds, director of<br />

Community Connections, essentially<br />

agreed, saying, “The goal here<br />

was to see where the gaps in services<br />

are” <strong>and</strong> what kinds of partnerships<br />

need to be created to solve<br />

those problems.<br />

“We are reaching a crisis here<br />

in America … <strong>and</strong> our federal<br />

government is not capable of<br />

dealing with what’s happening,”<br />

she added.<br />

Summarizing the data they’ve<br />

culled from official sources,<br />

interviews <strong>and</strong> focus groups,<br />

Atkins said residents of the<br />

CHNA5 towns have some issues<br />

that are below state <strong>and</strong> even<br />

national averages, while others<br />

exceed them. Demographically,<br />

for example, the region is very<br />

Caucasian — more than 94 percent<br />

in all towns except<br />

Southbridge, where official figures<br />

say it’s 85 percent white,<br />

but some participants report as<br />

high as 40 percent Latino.<br />

Overall, the region has seen a<br />

“significant increase in population<br />

… at a higher percentage<br />

than Massachusetts in general,”<br />

but Southbridge <strong>and</strong> East<br />

Brookfield have seen small<br />

decreases, she said. The biggest<br />

increases have been in <strong>Sturbridge</strong><br />

(14.4 percent), Charlton (11.6 percent)<br />

<strong>and</strong> Brimfield (10.7 percent).<br />

Responding to that, Librarian<br />

Margaret Morrissey said she has<br />

heard the official Southbridge tally<br />

has fallen, but only because some<br />

people aren’t being counted.<br />

Most towns are also comparatively<br />

young — only two (Webster <strong>and</strong><br />

West Brookfield) have a lower percentage<br />

of residents under age 18<br />

than the state’s 23.7 percent, <strong>and</strong><br />

Charlton tops the group at 30 percent.<br />

A few also have a higher percentage<br />

of senior citizens (65-plus)<br />

Above: Steven Ridini, right, talks to Community Connections Director Lynne Simonds.<br />

Right: Abby Atkins of the Medical Foundation, which is conducting the study for<br />

Community Health Network Area 5<br />

than the state’s 13.5 percent average,<br />

with West Brookfield st<strong>and</strong>ing out<br />

at 20.9 percent.<br />

What concerns Atkins <strong>and</strong> local<br />

providers, however, is the middleaged<br />

people who will soon become<br />

senior citizens. That population<br />

may eventually need senior services<br />

although “many of them are<br />

healthy agers <strong>and</strong> don’t need many<br />

services,” Atkins said.<br />

Ridini noted a variety of factors<br />

influence such statistics, including<br />

the economic situation, an issue<br />

that prompted several audience<br />

members to suggest various ways<br />

Sixty percent of community<br />

health issues, he said, are influenced<br />

by economics, <strong>and</strong> “ultimately,<br />

the health of the community is<br />

the health of the institutions.” Years<br />

ago, almost everyone discussing<br />

such concerns were public health<br />

professionals, but today “we’re<br />

going to have to be more creative<br />

about involving the economic, business<br />

<strong>and</strong> educational community,”<br />

he added.<br />

Ridini said, however, the project’s<br />

goal at this stage was never “to get to<br />

the symptomatic piece,” but to create<br />

a community profile local<br />

groups can build on to decide<br />

“strategic directions” <strong>and</strong> look into<br />

those “underlying causes.”<br />

Home run fence christened as Auburn tops Tantasqua<br />

WARRIORS TO PLAY FOUR STRAIGHT GAMES THIS WEEK<br />

By John Radzinski<br />

Sports Staff Writer<br />

AUBURN — Saturday afternoon,<br />

May 3, felt more like Auburn (8-4) vs.<br />

Tantasqua (7-6) football than baseball<br />

at the annual Auburn Classic.<br />

With temperatures threatening to<br />

dip below 40 <strong>and</strong> a steady drizzle, the<br />

Rockets bats were considerably<br />

warmer, as they came away with a 6-<br />

1 victory over the Warriors.<br />

In the first inning, Rocket catcher<br />

Jon Leroux blasted off — so to speak<br />

— the first ever home run hit at<br />

Rocket Field. With leadoff hitter<br />

Nick Natoli st<strong>and</strong>ing on first, the<br />

right-h<strong>and</strong>ed Leroux belted a 360-<br />

foot shot to opposite field to give<br />

Auburn a 2-0 lead.<br />

“That was the first ever homer hit<br />

here, <strong>and</strong> it was a huge shot, when<br />

you consider the wind was blowing<br />

in <strong>and</strong> how cold <strong>and</strong> wet it is out<br />

here,” said Auburn coach Eric<br />

Swedberg. “That would have been a<br />

home run at any field.”<br />

BY JOHN RADZINSKI<br />

SPORTS STAFF WRITER<br />

SOUTHBRIDGE — Tantasqua pitcher Curtis Orlik<br />

had trouble yesterday comm<strong>and</strong>ing his main off-speed<br />

pitch, his curveball, but he overcame it going seven<br />

innings to lead the Warriors (6-5) over David Prouty (7-<br />

5), 5-3.<br />

“The curveball was no good today, but my change-up<br />

was my main pitch,” said Orlik.<br />

The senior was able to pitch out of several jams, <strong>and</strong><br />

his defense made enough plays behind him to ensure<br />

runners did not score. One example was in the second,<br />

when Prouty led off the inning with two quick singles<br />

by Josh Nicol <strong>and</strong> Tyler Keyes. Nicol scored on a booted<br />

ball in the outfield, but Keyes got stuck in a rundown<br />

heading home, limiting the Panthers to only one, run<br />

instead of two.<br />

In another inning, Prouty’s Justin Kresco reached<br />

base via a walk <strong>and</strong> got to third on an error by Orlik.<br />

But Orlik was once again able to prevent the runner<br />

from coming home with a key strikeout of the Panthers’<br />

third hitter, Mike Mattei.<br />

Orlik did appear to get stronger as the game grew on,<br />

however. After the third inning, only two Panther players<br />

— Kresco <strong>and</strong> Christian Ricard — were able to get on<br />

base. For the game Orlik struck out eight batters,<br />

allowed only two hits, but walked five. The five walks<br />

were something Orlik wanted to improve upon.<br />

“The walks were definitely a little high,” said Orlik.<br />

“But giving up only two hits was good.”<br />

On the other side, all of the Warriors runs were score<br />

in the second (one run), third <strong>and</strong> fourth innings (two<br />

runs in each). They were led at the plate by, not surprisingly,<br />

Dan Kemp, who continues to have a strong season.<br />

Kemp was 3-for-4, all singles, driving in a run <strong>and</strong> scoring<br />

one as well.<br />

Junior Cory Lavallee saw time at the cleanup spot for<br />

the Warriors, a spot normally saved for Jon Kazanovicz.<br />

However, the two were switched around in the batting<br />

lineup. It seemed to work well, as Kazanovicz ended 2-<br />

for-3 with a double, an RBI <strong>and</strong> one run scored. Lavallee<br />

was 1-for-4, but crushed a line drive for an RBI-single in<br />

the third inning.<br />

Starting on the bump for the Panthers was Josh Nicol.<br />

Nicol struggled through his start allowing five runs —<br />

Although two runs are normally<br />

not enough to win a game, it was<br />

more than enough for Rocket pitcher<br />

Jeff Croteau. Croteau had run<br />

into bad luck in his past several outings,<br />

according to Swedberg, but he<br />

seemed to find his comm<strong>and</strong> on this<br />

dreary afternoon. The hurler tossed<br />

six innings, allowing only one<br />

earned run on eight hits, while only<br />

walking one <strong>and</strong> striking out five.<br />

“It was nice to see (Croteau) play<br />

well,” said Swedberg. “He worked<br />

the outside part of the plate <strong>and</strong> did<br />

the things a pitcher is supposed to<br />

do.”<br />

The Auburn offense proved the<br />

adage that good pitching <strong>and</strong> timely<br />

hitting will win most games. Such<br />

was the case Saturday, when the<br />

Rockets were able to send home six<br />

runs on seven hits, <strong>and</strong> made<br />

Tantasqua pay for their two errors<br />

in the field.<br />

Walks were also a deterrent for<br />

first-time Tantasqua starter Robert<br />

four earned — through four innings of work. He<br />

gave up eight hits <strong>and</strong> walked one.<br />

A surprising relief appearance was made by<br />

freshman Lucas Davis. Davis pitched admirably<br />

in only his second appearance of the season for<br />

the Panthers. He kept his team in the game by<br />

not allowing any runs, striking out one, <strong>and</strong><br />

allowing three hits <strong>and</strong> one walk.<br />

For Tantasqua it was a big win. It improved<br />

the team to 6-5 on the season, <strong>and</strong>, perhaps more<br />

importantly at this point, kept them only one<br />

game back of undefeated Shepherd Hill for first<br />

place in the SWCL with a record of 4-1.<br />

“This was a big game for us,” said Tantasqua<br />

head coach Mike Farrell.<br />

For Prouty, it drops them to 2-3 in the SWCL,<br />

but 7-5 overall. Although the team is just three<br />

wins away from clinching a spot in districts,<br />

their goal is still clear.<br />

“Our number one goal is still to fight for the<br />

division,” said David Prouty skipper Chuck<br />

Fahey.<br />

Starmer. The left-h<strong>and</strong>er began to<br />

tire in the fourth inning as he gave<br />

up three walks in a row <strong>and</strong> four in<br />

the inning. But considering the poor<br />

conditions that were not conducive<br />

to playing baseball, Starmer’s<br />

coach, Mike Farrell, thought he did<br />

a good job.<br />

“Starmer pitched reasonably well,<br />

considering it was his first start<br />

ever,” said Farrell. “Their pitcher<br />

just shut us down.”<br />

Leroux led the way offensively<br />

with his two-run home run in the<br />

first inning, a single in the third,<br />

<strong>and</strong> also knocked in another RBI in<br />

the sixth to give the catcher three<br />

hits <strong>and</strong> three RBI on the day.<br />

Keith Leatham collected two singles<br />

on the afternoon, <strong>and</strong> second<br />

baseman Shayne McNally knocked<br />

in an RBI on a sacrifice fly in the<br />

fourth inning.<br />

Tantasqua was led by the hot-hitting<br />

Curtis Orlik, who collected<br />

three hits, including a double <strong>and</strong><br />

two singles. Jon Kazanovicz, who<br />

started the season as the team’s<br />

cleanup hitter, has really taken to<br />

hitting in the second slot as if late.<br />

The senior third baseman collected<br />

two more singles to go 2-for-4 on the<br />

day. The Warriors’ lone run came in<br />

the top of the fourth inning when<br />

junior outfielder Br<strong>and</strong>on Forcier<br />

knocked in a double scoring Orlik<br />

from second base.<br />

For the Rockets <strong>and</strong> Swedberg,<br />

winning the championship for the<br />

tournament — which does not figure<br />

into league records, but does<br />

count for overall regular season<br />

records — was very important.<br />

“It’s great to win the tournament,”<br />

said Swedberg. “It’s even better<br />

to get two wins.”<br />

At the start of the day, the Rockets<br />

were 6-4. By day’s end, the team was<br />

two wins closer to the ever-important<br />

10-win point that qualifies a<br />

team for the district playoffs.<br />

“We could have been 6-6 today, but<br />

we’re 8-4, which I feel is a huge difference,”<br />

PRELIMINARY GAME<br />

In the preliminary game of the<br />

Rocket Classic against Southbridge,<br />

senior pitcher Matt Brown went the<br />

distance, striking out two, walking<br />

none, <strong>and</strong> allowing five runs in an<br />

11-5 victory over the Pioneers at<br />

Lomansky Park.<br />

The big inning for the Warriors<br />

came in the fifth when junior shortstop<br />

Dan Kemp led the inning off<br />

with a solo homer to right field.<br />

Leadoff batter Rico Balderelli then<br />

hit a clutch double with the bases<br />

loaded.<br />

For Southbridge, Mike Hibbard<br />

hit a double <strong>and</strong> a triple, while<br />

Angel Vasquez <strong>and</strong> Nick Labonte<br />

each singled twice for the Pioneers.<br />

Southbridge fell to 5-5 on the season.<br />

Sportsmen’s Club to host pistol match<br />

WARREN — The Quaboag<br />

Sportsmen's Club will host an<br />

informal pistol match at the<br />

range at 451 Dunham Road, off<br />

Route 19, at 10 a.m. Saturday,<br />

May 10. The public is invited to<br />

participate as guests of Range<br />

Officer George Hood; non-shooting<br />

spectators will be welcomed,<br />

<strong>and</strong> club membership applications<br />

will be available at the<br />

range. Any caliber h<strong>and</strong>gun in<br />

safe condition may be used; pistols<br />

have a slight edge over<br />

revolvers, however, because of<br />

time limits in the course of fire.<br />

The match is a total of 30<br />

shots fired in three stages. First<br />

is Slow Fire, with 10 shots fired<br />

in 10 minutes. Timed Fire follows,<br />

in which two separate<br />

strings of five shots are fired,<br />

with 20 seconds per string.<br />

Rapid Fire completes the match,<br />

with two five-shot strings of 10<br />

seconds each.<br />

The entry fee is only $4, <strong>and</strong><br />

an individual may re-enter if his<br />

or her first score was not satisfactory.<br />

Each shooter or spectator<br />

must furnish his or her own<br />

safety glasses <strong>and</strong> hearing protection.<br />

Anyone under the age of<br />

21 must be accompanied by a<br />

parent.<br />

I’ve got a few hours” to devote to<br />

town business, Story said of why<br />

he’s running. “There are a few<br />

issues that need attention, but I<br />

don’t want to stir anything up. I<br />

don’t have an agenda. It’s just a<br />

matter of helping the taxpayers<br />

<strong>and</strong> seeing what you can do to keep<br />

things aboveboard <strong>and</strong> not done<br />

sneakily.”<br />

Specifically, Story declined to<br />

comment when asked his stance on<br />

the two ballot questions.<br />

Learned, by contrast, was willing<br />

to address those issues, saying he<br />

believes Wales “need[s] our community<br />

policing.”<br />

“Our Wales Police are doing a<br />

wonderful job given the limited<br />

budget they’re working on,”<br />

Learned said. “It makes people feel<br />

more secure to know the police are<br />

there. I think they need some fine<br />

tuning, but don’t think they’ll get<br />

the money they’ve requested.”<br />

Regarding a related proposal to<br />

regionalize the police department<br />

with Brimfield <strong>and</strong> Holl<strong>and</strong>, he<br />

said he’d wait to see what the town<br />

says, but predicted, “Being the<br />

smallest of the towns, I fear we’d<br />

end up on the short end of the<br />

stick.”<br />

That concept is in its early stages<br />

of exploration <strong>and</strong> will not be on<br />

the ballot. He said he “remains<br />

uncommitted” regarding the<br />

school regionalization issue.<br />

With 10 years as a volunteer for<br />

the Wales Senior Center, the local<br />

food bank <strong>and</strong> the SHARE program,<br />

Learned said the situation of<br />

local senior citizens is his “number<br />

one priority.” Among other things,<br />

he said he’d like to get the senior<br />

center another transport van.<br />

Furthermore, he said he’d like to<br />

see more business come to town “to<br />

offset the increases none of us have<br />

control over,” but doesn’t expect<br />

many to do so because of the town’s<br />

relative isolation. Such extra funding,<br />

however, could help Wales deal<br />

with “big increases in school fuel<br />

costs” he predicted would come if<br />

the town approved a new contract<br />

with the fuel supplier.<br />

Learned admits he has no political<br />

experience, but said, “I feel, by<br />

watching <strong>and</strong> listening, I’ve seen<br />

some of the inner workings of<br />

town departments.” He hopes to<br />

help the selectmen “by working<br />

together, not arguing with those<br />

departments” to identify what<br />

areas may need cuts <strong>and</strong> where the<br />

town may need tax hikes.<br />

Tax issues are intimately related<br />

to the second ballot race, between<br />

incumbent Beverly Poirier <strong>and</strong><br />

Leon Givner for a three-year seat<br />

on the Board of Assessors. Poirier<br />

has held the seat about four years<br />

<strong>and</strong> has 20 years under her belt as<br />

the assistant assessor in<br />

<strong>Sturbridge</strong>, while Givner has been<br />

on the Wales Finance Committee<br />

for four years.<br />

When asked what she liked most<br />

about being an assessor, Poirier<br />

said, “the diversity of the job —<br />

you’re doing something different<br />

all the time.” She noted the laws<br />

change “all the time,” <strong>and</strong> assessors<br />

can only keep up with them by<br />

maintaining their certification.<br />

“No college degree will train you<br />

for this job,” she said, noting she<br />

doesn’t have one. Instead, she said,<br />

she took her first assessing-related<br />

job — as a part-time clerk in the<br />

Wales assessors’ office about 30<br />

years ago — because it was “convenient”<br />

<strong>and</strong> enabled her to bring<br />

work home.<br />

Givner had almost the same reason<br />

for running this year, saying he<br />

did it “because the position was up<br />

for election.”<br />

“I live here <strong>and</strong> I want to give<br />

back to the town,” he said. “I’m<br />

retired, so I’ll be available. I’m getting<br />

off the Finance Committee, so<br />

I’ll have time to help out in that<br />

office.”<br />

Unlike Poirier, Givner does have<br />

a degree — in business from<br />

Nichols College — but his professional<br />

career was 23 years in the<br />

U.S. Army as a combat engineer<br />

<strong>and</strong> recruiter. He said that stint<br />

gave him “the ability to do paperwork<br />

… [plus] discipline, being<br />

available <strong>and</strong> being people friendly.”<br />

He noted, however, that he’ll<br />

have to learn the software that<br />

modern assessing relies on, but<br />

believes his experience working on<br />

the town budget “has been enlightening,<br />

<strong>and</strong> I started that without<br />

experience.”<br />

He said he’d like to see two<br />

changes in the town’s tax system —<br />

on the large scale, “conservation<br />

all around” to reduce expenses; on<br />

the small scale, changes in the<br />

hours of the assessors’ office itself<br />

to make them more convenient for<br />

working people.<br />

Regarding the ballot questions,<br />

he said he favors keeping the Wales<br />

Police Department intact <strong>and</strong><br />

doing “a lot more [work] before<br />

making a decision” on whether to<br />

regionalize the school.<br />

Views on the school question are<br />

likely to play a role in the third ballot<br />

contest, between David<br />

Nascembeni (appointed to the seat<br />

late last year) <strong>and</strong> challenger<br />

Rachel Lamica.<br />

Nascembeni said he favors<br />

regionalization as an opportunity<br />

to improve the school’s facility <strong>and</strong><br />

educational quality, although he<br />

praised the school for doing a good<br />

job under its current conditions, in<br />

which some classrooms are separated<br />

only by office dividers.<br />

“I want to sit down <strong>and</strong> really<br />

start talking about it with the<br />

townspeople,” he said. “Feasibly,<br />

I’m not sure [regionalization] will<br />

happen, but it’s something I’d like<br />

to see.”<br />

Until he was appointed to finish<br />

an unexpired term last year,<br />

Nascembeni didn’t have a background<br />

in local politics, <strong>and</strong> he<br />

admits he’s still learning the<br />

process. He got involved mostly<br />

because he had two sons go<br />

through the school <strong>and</strong> a daughter<br />

who’s still in it, he said.<br />

Lamica could not be reached for<br />

comment, nor could. Jeremy<br />

Croteau, a c<strong>and</strong>idate for the Board<br />

of Health.<br />

His opponent, Roy Dur<strong>and</strong>, has<br />

several years of town experience.<br />

He held a health board seat from<br />

2002-2005 <strong>and</strong> worked for the<br />

Highway Department for six or<br />

seven years, leaving both posts at<br />

the same time because state law<br />

prohibits employees from being<br />

elected officials for six months<br />

after they retire.<br />

“It’s a good board to be on,” he<br />

said. “I helped people before <strong>and</strong><br />

feel I can help again. … I know the<br />

system <strong>and</strong> what has to be done. It’s<br />

nothing new.”<br />

Dur<strong>and</strong> said he believes there are<br />

no major health-related issues in<br />

town <strong>and</strong> didn’t feel much had<br />

changed since his last term, but<br />

wouldn’t know until, <strong>and</strong> if, he gets<br />

elected. He specifically declined to<br />

comment on the ballot question,<br />

saying doing so would be “only asking<br />

for trouble.”<br />

Both of the questions have some<br />

history to them, Selectman<br />

Michael Valanzola said.<br />

Question 1 was born last year,<br />

when Police Chief Dawn Charette<br />

requested a budget hike from about<br />

$33,000 to $85,000 for the coming fiscal<br />

year. Allegedly, two citizens<br />

started a petition to reduce the<br />

police department’s hours from 38<br />

to 12 <strong>and</strong> got about 300 signatures,<br />

Valanzola said. But on the date the<br />

EXPANSION<br />

continued from page 1<br />

ing list, but nobody has yet made a downpayment<br />

to reserve one of the new houses. Those<br />

will sell for $99,000 for a single-wide or $150,000<br />

for a double-wide, plus the park’s $25,000 share<br />

cost.<br />

She expects to have a demo home available<br />

in four to five weeks.<br />

As a co-op, the park’s residents actually own<br />

the property collectively while owning their<br />

own homes individually, <strong>and</strong> the shared ownership<br />

was one of the issues that prompted the<br />

expansion in the first place, Berry noted.<br />

“We’re hoping it’ll help us stabilize our<br />

maintenance fee,” which has been rising<br />

about $10 a year. she said. Now at $170 a month,<br />

it covers maintenance, trash, water, sewer,<br />

cable TV <strong>and</strong> taxes; Berry noted it’s very low<br />

when compared to fees or utilities elsewhere,<br />

but can be a burden to the significant percentage<br />

of the Co-op population that lives on fixed<br />

incomes.<br />

Under its bylaws, the complex must reserve<br />

80 percent of its homes for people 55-plus; the<br />

other 20 percent “can go as low as 45,” <strong>and</strong><br />

none of the residents are allowed to have<br />

minor children on a permanent basis.<br />

Officially, the project started in Nov. 2002,<br />

when Co-op directors signed the contract to<br />

design the expansion, but the sewer issues didn’t<br />

get resolved until last year. The Planning<br />

Board <strong>and</strong> Conservation Commission gave<br />

their thumbs-up this past winter.<br />

The complex itself was born about 1979 as a<br />

privately-owned park, <strong>and</strong> the residents<br />

bought out the owner, converting it to a co-op,<br />

in January 1997.<br />

BY GUS STEEVES<br />

NEWS STAFF WRITER<br />

What do pancakes, rock b<strong>and</strong>s, tolls <strong>and</strong> raffles<br />

have in common?<br />

All of them are elements of fund-raisers, recent<br />

<strong>and</strong> upcoming, for the Relay For Life of Greater<br />

Southbridge.<br />

In its 11th year, the Relay has two major goals this<br />

year — to encourage participation in a new longterm<br />

genetic <strong>and</strong> lifestyle study called the Cancer<br />

Prevention Study 3 (CPS-3) <strong>and</strong> to clear the $2 million<br />

threshold. According to local CPS-3 co-chair<br />

Faye Sweeney, Southbridge’s Relay needed just<br />

$30,000 at the end of last year’s event to exceed that<br />

goal, <strong>and</strong> has already taken in nearly $21,000 with<br />

six weeks to go. This year’s Relay will take place<br />

June 13-14 at McMahon Field, starting with the collection<br />

of CPS-3 blood samples during the first few<br />

hours.<br />

“People are being as generous as absolutely possible,”<br />

Sweeney said. “[The total] is down, but not<br />

because people aren’t trying.”<br />

Lucille Ravenelle, captain of the Pawfect Pals<br />

team, agreed, noting this year’s fund raising is running<br />

headlong into the current recession.<br />

“We are doing very well with the fund-raisers,<br />

but individual donations are down,” she said. “It’s<br />

the economy — when you’re paying $3.50 a gallon<br />

for gas, you don’t have money to give anybody.”<br />

Her team recently raised $900 with an all-youcould-eat<br />

pancake breakfast at the Applebee’s in<br />

<strong>Sturbridge</strong>, she said.<br />

“We did it last year, too, <strong>and</strong> it was very successful,<br />

so we thought we’d try it again this year,” she<br />

added. “We made a couple hundred dollars more<br />

than last year, which kind of surprised us, with the<br />

price of gas <strong>and</strong> everything.”<br />

Her husb<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> teammate Ron Ravenelle, a<br />

local Relay organizer, said the key to success is to<br />

“give people something for their money.”<br />

Sweeney agreed, noting the CPS-3 essentially<br />

works the same way on a larger scale.<br />

“I think it’s going to be a huge boost for Relay<br />

because people like to know their money is doing<br />

something,” she said, noting she has talked to people<br />

who are going to donate <strong>and</strong> come to their first<br />

Relay this year specifically because of the study.<br />

In summary, CPS-3 is a project aimed at collecting<br />

at least 500,000 DNA samples nationwide <strong>and</strong> tracking<br />

their owners over the next several decades to<br />

see if they contract some form of cancer. If they do,<br />

their DNA will be tested <strong>and</strong> compared to others<br />

with similar cancers to see if there is a genetic link.<br />

Over the same timeframe, the participants will<br />

periodically fill out mailed surveys on such things<br />

as diet, exercise, job conditions <strong>and</strong> other lifestyle<br />

circumstances that might influence cancer.<br />

Sweeney said she was in Dudley last weekend<br />

passing out information<br />

on CPS-3. To her, the<br />

study “is spurring more<br />

interest in what the<br />

American Cancer Society<br />

does, <strong>and</strong> people who hear<br />

about it get more interested<br />

in the Relay itself.”<br />

Among other things,<br />

she noted, this year has<br />

seen six new teams form<br />

of the 40 now participating.<br />

One of them, The<br />

News Hounds, is sponsored<br />

by <strong>Stonebridge</strong><br />

<strong>Press</strong> newspapers, which<br />

organized a benefit concert<br />

at Hyl<strong>and</strong> Brewery<br />

that raised about $300<br />

despite the drizzly <strong>and</strong><br />

raw weather.<br />

That same day, at least<br />

two other teams held events. One of them, the threeyear-old<br />

Ribbon Rockettes, turned downtown<br />

Charlton into a toll road for four hours.<br />

“With the gas prices going up, I warned my team<br />

that people might not have that dollar to give,” said<br />

Joanne Channell.<br />

Those drivers had it though — they gave her<br />

team $1,500, $400 more than last year, she said.<br />

“We got ashtrays emptied out, quarters, pennies,”<br />

Channell added. “We got $300 in change. That<br />

was quite a sight today — me strapping that to the<br />

back of my bike.”<br />

One key to their success, she noted, is simple<br />

planning.<br />

“Last year, there was a learning curve, but this<br />

year we were very well prepared,” she said. “ …<br />

Half of my team lives on the North Shore, so we<br />

have to plan everything to be done by six people,<br />

<strong>and</strong> if more come, that’s great.”<br />

Channell’s team plans to collect tolls again May<br />

17 at the Oxford Wal-Mart parking lot. That same<br />

date, many teams will be participating in the Relay<br />

Fun Day on <strong>Sturbridge</strong> Common, featuring a live<br />

DJ, moonwalk <strong>and</strong> various activities devised by the<br />

teams themselves.<br />

The event used to be held on Southbridge<br />

Common as the “Relay on the Common,” but organizers<br />

came to realize many people believed it was<br />

actually part of the Relay itself, Ron Ravenelle said.<br />

In order to “change how people used to think about<br />

it,” tap the better traffic flow along Route 131, <strong>and</strong><br />

“get other communities involved who don’t realize<br />

they’re in our Relay,” they opted to move it to<br />

<strong>Sturbridge</strong> this year, he said.<br />

marketing tools available.<br />

Set the songbird free<br />

His heart forever open<br />

His gifts have all been given<br />

The joy is just to listen<br />

Set the songbird free<br />

These lyrics are from a 20<strong>07</strong> tribute song by<br />

the b<strong>and</strong> Return To Zero (RTZ).<br />

Like many longtime fans of Brad Delp<br />

(Boston, Beatlejuice <strong>and</strong> RTZ vocalist), I was devastated<br />

upon hearing of his death in March of<br />

last year. I had followed his music for many years<br />

but had only recently started attending<br />

Beatlejuice's amazing shows <strong>and</strong> learning what a<br />

fine person Brad was outside of his performances.<br />

But perhaps it is best left to those (unlike<br />

myself) who knew him best to define his legacy.<br />

To quote Brian Maes (RTZ keyboardist <strong>and</strong> composer),<br />

“Set The Songbird Free is our way of<br />

telling Brad that we respect <strong>and</strong> love him enough<br />

to give him the peace that he needed.”<br />

Last year Brad's closest family <strong>and</strong> friends<br />

created The Brad Delp Foundation.<br />

"Brad had an uncommon ability <strong>and</strong> desire to<br />

listen, underst<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> care about people,” said<br />

Maes. “We seek to honor his memory by awarding<br />

music related grants, scholarships <strong>and</strong> funding<br />

for school music programs." The foundation<br />

already made its first award in January of this<br />

year, appropriately enough to the John Lennon<br />

Educational Tour Bus.<br />

“This seems like a perfect organization for<br />

our first grant ... so in keeping with everything<br />

my Dad stood for as a musician <strong>and</strong> as a human<br />

being,” said daughter Jenna Delp. “Not to mention<br />

the Beatles connection which he would have<br />

loved as well.”<br />

You can make donation at (www.braddelpfoundation.org)<br />

via Paypal or by check in the<br />

mail.<br />

If you'd also like to celebrate the music of<br />

Brad Delp, please join Dan Kirouac, myself <strong>and</strong><br />

Don’t Despair<br />

Pray to St. Jude<br />

O holy St. Jude, apostle <strong>and</strong> Martyr,<br />

great in virtue <strong>and</strong> rich in<br />

miracles, near kinsman of Jesus<br />

Christ, faithful intecessor of all<br />

who invoke your special patronage<br />

in time of need, to you I have<br />

recourse from the depth of my<br />

heart <strong>and</strong> humbly beg to whom<br />

God has given such great power<br />

to come to my assistance. Help<br />

me in mu present <strong>and</strong> urgent petition.<br />

In return, I promise to<br />

make your name known <strong>and</strong><br />

cause you to be invoked. St.<br />

Jude, pray for us <strong>and</strong> all who invoke<br />

your aid. Say three Our Fathers,<br />

three Hail Marys <strong>and</strong> three<br />

Glorias. Publication must be<br />

promised. This novena has never<br />

been known to fail. N.E.M.<br />

PRAYER TO THE<br />

BLESSED VIRGIN<br />

(Never known to fail). Oh<br />

most beautiful flower of Mt.<br />

Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor<br />

of Heaven, Blessed<br />

Mother of the Son of God,<br />

Immaculate Virgin, assist me<br />

in this my necessity. Oh Star<br />

of the Sea, help me <strong>and</strong><br />

show me herein, you are my<br />

mother, Oh Holy Mary, Mother<br />

of God, Queen of Heaven<br />

<strong>and</strong> Earth, I humbly beseech<br />

you from the bottom of my<br />

heart, succor me in this necessity.<br />

There are none that<br />

can withst<strong>and</strong> your call. Oh,<br />

show me herein, you are my<br />

mother. Oh, Mary conceived<br />

without sin, pray for us who<br />

have recourse to thee. (3<br />

times) Holy Mary I place this<br />

cause in your h<strong>and</strong>s (3<br />

times). Sweet Mother I pray<br />

for this cause in your h<strong>and</strong>s.<br />

(3 times). Holy Spirit, resolve<br />

all problems, light all roads<br />

so that I can attain my goal.<br />

You gave me the divine gift<br />

to forgive <strong>and</strong> forget all evil<br />

against me in all instances of<br />

my life, you are with me. I<br />

want this short prayer to<br />

thank you for all things as<br />
