REGION — One of the last over-seers of the railroad stations thatonce found a firm place in this coun-try’s imagination was the milkweedblowing wisps of white thread overcountless train stops.

They belonged — those buildings— to another day, and in the last half

of the 20th century began to evokethe wistful memories symbolized bythose thin strands that floatedabove, around and over the carefullybuilt stations of New England.

TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

DOUGLAS — Paula Brouilletteseeks her third three-year term onthe Board of Selectmen.

Voters will head to the polls hereon Tuesday, May 13.

Endorsed by the local DemocraticCommittee, Brouillette has rarelylacked an opinion during her six-year tenure on the board, nor beenhesitant about expressing it.

She is full of ideas and persistent

at following through on them.No issue escapes her interest.Although she has a penchant for

planning, she is willing to “go slow”and investigate thoroughly. Butthere comes a point when she hasweighed all the variables and takes adefinite stance. At the same time,she is adept at compromise when aconsensus is needed. Rather thandescribing her as a flaming liberal,most observers would probably becomfortable in calling her a moder-

ate liberal.That is because, for her, fiscal

planning goes hand in hand withplanning for capital improvements.

Brouillette grew up in SouthYarmouth on the Cape, concentrat-

ed in math while obtaining a bache-lor of arts degree from StonehillCollege, and is taking graduatecourses in business management atWorcester Polytechnic Institute andat Nichols College.

She worked 25 years in high-tech.Brouillette was employed by theFoxboro Company, then by Codex, asubsidiary of Motorola, for whomshe was a business analyst and


DOUGLAS —Eben Chesebroughof Church Street, endorsed by theRepublican Town Committee, isrunning for what would be hisfourth term on the Board ofSelectmen.

He was previously a selectman forthree consecutive terms, from 1985to 1994, and, after an interval of 14years, wants to serve again.

Chesebrough, 61, recently retiredafter 35 years as a state environmen-

tal scientist working on issues ofclean water throughoutMassachusetts.

Chesebrough served on theFinance Committee, and when hewas a selectman, that panel alsoserved as the Board of Health.

He has spent most of his life as aprofessional environmentalist. Hesaid he is highly interested in seeingmore industry come to town to helpthe tax base.

On the other hand, Chesebroughseemed to think some recommenda-

tions of the recently issuedGovernment Study Committeereport embrace a lot of changes thatmight be open to question.

Chesebrough called the report oneof the bigger issues facing the town.

Noting Lisa Mosczynski, thestudy’s chairman, did “a very thor-ough job,” he nevertheless ques-tioned the sweep of the group’s sug-gestions — adopting a charter formof town government, instituting atown manager, forming aDepartment of Public Works, com-

bining all financial operations, abol-ishing the two-party political sys-tem in town.

Chesebrough wondered whetherthe latter change would make thingsbetter or worse.

He also questioned the tendencyof town officials to advocate sub-stantial use of free cash and theStabilization Fund to pay for opera-tional costs of town government.

“It’s a slippery slope,” he said,“and other towns have flat run out.”

NORTHBRIDGE — It’s another busy weekend atAlternatives’ Whitin Mill, with openings for two art shows anda theatrical presentation.

Photographs from the Fernald State School, the BlackstoneValley Art Association Spring Festival and Stepping StoneCommunity Theatre’s production of “Many Moons” will havethings hopping at Alternatives.

In the mid 1970s, Derrick Te Paske spent a year and a halfdocumenting the entirety of Fernald State School. The resultsof this endeavor will be shown at Alternatives’ HeritageGallery in an exhibition titled “Fernald State School: Then,Now…and Again?” The exhibition opens May 2 in Alternatives’Heritage Gallery, with an artists’ reception from 5-7 p.m. Thepublic is invited. The exhibition will run through June 27.

In Te Paske’s words, the photographs document “A ‘school’which, I soon found, housed residents who were never referredto as ‘students.’” Fernald State School was opened in 1848 inWaltham. It was America’s first public facility for people whowere then labeled mentally retarded. However, by the turn ofthe century it was an “asylum,” where people were warehoused

for the rest of their lives. Today it remains open, although thereis a strong movement to see it closed.

Te Paske’s photographs show Fernald in a variety of lights,and do much to illustrate the complicated story of the institu-tion. Supplementing the photographs will be a showing ofWilliam Roger’s documentary on Fernald, “Front Wards, BackWards.” Originally shown on PBS, the film looks at the entirehistory of Fernald School. A theatrical showing of the film willtake place at 7 p.m. on May 30 in the Singh Performance Centerat Alternatives. The presentation will be followed by a discus-sion with a panel comprised of former “students” of institu-tions.

The same weekend the Blackstone Valley Art Associationopens its Spring Family Arts Festival. The exhibition opens Friday evening, May 2, with an artists’ reception from 7-9 p.m.. The exhibition and reception will be in the 1826 PaulWhitin Mill. On Saturday May 3, from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.,the festival expands onto the Community Plaza with live enter-tainment, demonstrations and food.

Rounding out the weekend will be performances of JamesThurber’s “ManyMoons” by SteppingStone CommunityTheatre Company in theSingh PerformanceCenter. The play useshumor to ask the question of just what itis we really want whenwe “ask for the moon.”Performances areFriday, May 2 at 7 p.m.,Saturday, May 3 andSunday May 4 at 2 p.m.Tickets are $8 for adultsand $5 for children.

For further informa-tion, please call Tom Saupe at (508) 234-6232, ext. 302. All events take place atAlternatives’ WhitinMill, 50 Douglas Road inW h i t i n s v i l l e .Alternatives is a non-profit agency serv-ing more than 550adults with develop-mental and psychiatricdisabilities in 45 programs throughout central Massachusetts.

BLACKSTONE VALLEY TRIBUNE • 3Friday, May 2, 2008


NORTHBRIDGE — Voters will beasked to decide on a $36.9 million fiscal

2009 budget at the spring Annual TownMeeting May 6.

The session starts at 7 p.m. Tuesday inthe Northbridge Middle School auditori-um on Linwood Avenue. The middleschool is the former high school. Itbecame a middle school as of September2001, when the new high school opened aquarter of a mile down Linwood Avenue.The middle school auditorium seats wellover 500 whereas the new high school’sauditorium has a capacity of less than350. For really large turnouts, the highschool field house can accommodate 900in the bleachers and several hundredmore on set-up chairs. Graduation isheld there.

The proposed budget is an increase of3.37 percent over the fiscal 2008 budgetof $35,721,748.

Sometimes things get done throughattrition.

At least two years ago, the schooldepartment claimed the so-called munic-ipal government centered in Town Hallkept about $237,000 of

School Choice funds the state intendedfor the school department. No one inTown Hall ever satisfactorily explainedthe misappropriation, and even someselectmen argued it made no differencebecause the money simply wound upwith the town.

But the school department refused toaccept that point of view, and new TownManager Theodore Kozak told SchoolSuperintendent Paul

Soojian last year something could beworked out the following year, whenmore money might be available. He wasreferring to now.

Selectmen, going over the town war-rant proposals April 28, agreed on a 4-0vote it was time to give back the moneyto the schools. So they will supporttransferring $237,036 from free cash tothe school department “in order toreplace School Choice funds that mustbe repaid to the school district.”

“Such funds will be used to reinstate[school support of] athletics and of co-curricular clubs and activities,” Kozaksaid.

The Northbridge EducationFoundation, a private group of parents,raised more than $150,000 and, withincreased fees for athletic participationand gate receipts, the group is sparkingthe provision of nearly half the moneyneeded to pay for interscholastic athlet-ics in 2007-08 and for clubs and activitiesduring that span. Its leaders have askedthe School Committee to support athlet-ics and activities out of its own budgetfor fiscal 2009.

Soojian has come up with a plan tohire 17 teachers for the coming year andsupport athletics and activities usingone-time revolver funds and the $237,000transfer approved by Selectmen. For thecurrent year, the school department was

forced to cut some 56 teacher positionsand at least 25 other positions to helpbalance the fiscal 2008 budget because ofa projected town budget deficit ofaround $5 million. Some people haveused different numbers, lower and high-er, for the actual deficit, but one count of82 positions cut from the school districttranslated to around $4.8 million. All ofthat amount was not saved, because ofunemployment compensation, but it wasstill closer to $5 million than to $4 mil-lion.

While the economy is no rosier thisyear, the overall budget increase at amodest 3.37 percent seems much moremanageable than the numbers for thecurrent year.

Meanwhile, the high school is in theprocess of inspection for a

10-year re-accreditation. The NewEngland Association of Schools and

Colleges (NEASC), the accreditingagency, has let Northbridge school per-sonnel know of its deep concern at thecuts that have affected class sizes andmade the system rely on private help tokeep sports and clubs going.

Selectmen and the Finance Committeealso supported spending $400,000 toacquire a new fire truck, contingentupon passage of a one-time capitalexpenditure exclusion. They alsoapprove of $278,000 to buy three newvehicles. They include two medium-duty,all-wheel-drive vehicles with plows anda new dump truck with plow for theDepartment of Public Works.

Another proposal seeks $25,000 for afeasibility study for the construction ofa new DPW facility on town-owned landoff Providence

Road just northwest of the WastewaterTreatment Plant.

Another proposal recommended wasestablishment of a revolving account ofup to $20,000 to improve and maintaintown playgrounds and recreation fields.The account would enable thePlayground and

Recreation Commission to receivegrants, donations, user fees and fund-raising proceeds.

Another proposal supported by theSelectmen and Finance Committee isestablishment of an InsuranceStabilization Fund to offset health insur-ance premiums in future years. Ifapproved, the town would transfer$740,000 out of an Employee InsuranceBenefits line item to the new account.

Selectmen and the Finance Committeealso back using $150,000 from the samesource to repair or replace ceiling tilesin the lobby of the Balmer School; toreplace the middle school oil burner; torecoat and reline the track at LasellField; to repair or replace the toilet par-titions at the Northbridge ElementarySchool, and to rebuild the loading dockat the middle school. Another $50,000would go to repair and renovate theAldrich School, possibly for use by townoffices.

Don Gosselin, also of Northbridge, gatheredthem together for a memory session a couple ofweeks ago over at Alternatives, with DennisRice, director of the complex and a Douglas res-ident, an interested presence.

Douglas Carr Jr. of Northbridge worked onesummer in the foundry at Whitin, as didGosselin, and they both were at the round table.

The veterans recalled all kinds of names andodd little thingsthat happened.Gosselin isdoing his best topick up whereThomas Navin,the Harvardprofessor whodid a thoroughstudy of WhitinMachine Worksup to about 1950, left off. Gosselin already has on record conversations with scores of Whitin veterans.

Wallace is someone you might say is typical ofWhitin people, except that ‘typical’ is a weakword to describe a unique human being. Here isa man who is liable, on a given day, to write youa letter in calligraphy, with a French sentence ortwo dropped in. He was an outstanding musicianand actor, and sang in the prestigious C.Alexander Peloquin Whitin Male Glee Club.That meant a lot of classical stuff today’s HipHop crowd would not get.

In his early nineties, Wallace has no troublerecalling names and stories and delivering his takes on them with a certain energy and flair.For example, he shared a memorable story with this newspaper about the time he caddied for Joseph Kennedy Sr., the father ofPresident Kennedy.

To me, Tad Wallace represents something a lotof Americans, including myself, lack today, andthat is a failure to have a sense of entitlement.

As he mentioned recently, the most enjoyablejob he ever had was working in Whitin’s foundry.Be that as it may, Wallace is in fact an excellentexample of that core of Whitin workers whocould well have been college professors or owneda fleet of yachts if all that took were intelligence,personality, charm and loyalty.

They named the head of every departmentthat figured in their stories, and, believe me, Whitin had a lot of departments.Newcomers might be surprised to learn thoserambling buildings that reach back to 1847 andeven to 1826 once employed some 4,800 people(in the late 1940s). And some would put the fig-

ure a lot higher.Guertin still looks like the new kid on the

block, even though he began working at Whitin in 1947.

You can see why Whitin succeeded for so longin being the best in the world at what it did —producing textile preparatory machinery. Therewere some would-be usurpers of that reputation— down South — but Rauth will tell you whenthe Cleveland conglomerate that bought outWhitin in 1966 moved the machinery south, thefolks in North Carolina lacked the Whitinsvilleworkforce’s savvy at putting the complicatedequipment together. Whitin was merged with itsarch competitor, Roberts, and the new firm became known as Whitin-Roberts in North Sanford, N.C.

It was with that company that Rauth endedhis 36-year career (1947-83), 28 of that span as aworld-traveling salesman.

He visited Vietnam after that war and, amongother things, saw Whitin machines in the rubbleof bombed-out factories.

Jack Ratcliffe used to tell how Whitinmachines often operated day and night for half acentury without stopping — in South America,in Asia, in North America, in Europe.

Because he was used to doing business nearand far as a salesman, Rauth said he once soldmachines for three factories a man built near Fresno, Calif.

He told how the area around Dalton, Georgia,was the biggest center in the country for the cot-tage industry of chenille bedspreads. The carpetpeople adapted the chenille tuft idea to makingcarpets, he explained.

“They used a needle-punch machine thatturned out 14 yards a minute compared to eight hours for that amount before,” he said. Itturned out that it changed the carpet business.(Chenille is a wool, cotton, silk or rayon yarn with protruding pile and the word comesfrom the Latin word for dog, probably becausethe pile-face fabric was rather shaggy,like a dog’s coat).

“Up till the mid-1970s,” Rauth said, “80 percentof the carpeting manufactured in the U.S. wasmade on Whitin machines.”

Rauth advised the Californian, Jim Teuton, tochange from three-inch pieces of rayon to seven-inch nylon segments for making carpets.

Teuton took his advice. Then — he and hiswife were M.I.T. graduates in chemistry — hediscovered a chemical way of taking the oil outof cotton, which increased productivity of oilfrom 40 to more than 60 percent of the cottonboll. After extracting the oil from the cotton,Teuton sold the remaining cotton cakes to dairyfarmers for cattle feed.

“I sold him spinning frames, cards andtwisters,” Rauth said. Teuton invited him to aharbor along the California coast, and he point-ed to a schooner he said he let John Wayne use occasionally.

In ways that matter, all of these graduates of The Academy have had productive and rich lives.

THOMAS MATTSON

MUSINGSThe upcoming town election in Douglas mayfurther strengthen the local Republicans’hand to 4-1 votes, or keep the Democrats on the

down side of a 3-2 margin.Together, Paula Brouillette and Eben

Chesebrough have served on the Board of Selectmena total of 15 years.

Brouillette is the incumbent, having served as aselectman since 2002. Chesebrough is running againafter having served three consecutive terms on theboard from 1985 to 1994.

Voters will be asked to choose one or the other fora three-year term on the Board of Selectmen at theMay 13 town election.

Neither is a Douglas native, but each has becomeinvolved in local issues.

Each has had a career dealing with planning andtechnology from different perspectives, Brouilletteas a business analyst and long-range planner andChesebrough as an environmental scientist workingon issues of clean water throughout the state.

To increase the parallel, each resides in a ruralarea of the town which, granted, is not that hard todo in Douglas. But they live close to the earth, eachsurrounded by the kind of landscape for whichDouglas is known — open farmland and/or densewoods. Both candidates are personable.

Douglas is one of the few towns in the state thatstill maintains a party system. Brouillette isendorsed by the Democratic Town Committee andChesebrough by the Republican Town Committee.

It is hard to label either candidate as pro-develop-ment or pro-environmental if that is saying they areone-sided. Chesebrough has spent most of his life asa professional environmentalist, yet is highly inter-ested in seeing more industry come to town to helpthe tax base. If any designation could be placed onBrouillette, it might be that she is a middle-of-the-road liberal attentive to the need for more industry,with a balanced concern for the environment and apenchant for long-range planning.

Brouillette has demonstrated her interest in grow-ing not only the local economy but that of the wholeBlackstone Valley, with Douglas an integral part ofthat, through efforts of the Four Town Study Group.Its purpose is for the towns — Douglas, Sutton,Northbridge and Uxbridge — along the Route 146corridor to work together with a cooperativeapproach to the location of industry along the high-way, with

a concomitant attention to preservation of the corridor’s environment.

Brouillette comes across as resourceful and highlyenergetic. She has a high profile in the BlackstoneValley as a leader with ideas.

If there is any major difference between the two, itmay be a general perception that Brouillette is moreopen to change, as long as it is well planned, and thatChesebrough, while perhaps not against change,wants to cut more slack for the strengths alreadyinherent in the way things have been done in thepast.

After the election of Larry Bombara and ScottMedeiros last year, the nucleus of Republican lead-ers showed up at Chesebrough’s house to celebrate.There was a sense that Chesebrough is someone his party members look to for leadership. Part ofthat may be that he did serve three terms as a selectman, but another part of it seems to be that he is viewed by the party faithful as a person with asubstantial background.

A victory for Chesebrough would put theRepublicans even more in the driver’s seat than theyare now. It is the general perception that since thatboard’s Democratic majority was undone in a recentelection and three Republicans now control the five-member Board of Selectmen, “personal politics”may predominate. The first instance of that seemedto many to be the reduction of the building commis-sioner’s hours from 35 to 20. While the board’s major-ity said it was done purely to save money, BuildingCommissioner Adelle Reynolds was said to be on ashort list of people to be dealt with once the rightalignment took over on the Board of Selectmen. Infact, Bombara made no secret of the fact the next per-son he would be going after is the town engineer,who happens to be William Cundiff. It was not clear the other two members of the Republicanmajority — board chairman Michael Hughes andMedeiros — would support an hours shrinkage in regard to Cundiff.

It is also by no means clear that Chesebroughwould necessarily vote with the other Republicanson every issue if he were elected.

There are those — perhaps mostly Democrats —who think Douglas was known as wide open to devel-opers before Reynolds and Cundiff came along.

There are two ironies in all of this.First of all, developing is down in the current state

of the economy. In fact, that was the stated reason the three selectmen who voted to decrease Reynolds’ hours gave.

The second irony is that all three Democrats onthe board until the recent change — ShirleyMosczynski, Paula Brouillette and Mitch Cohen —have paid attention to encouraging development inDouglas. They have worked in good faith with theEconomic Development Commission to lay outindustrial zones and bring in expedited permitting,cooperating in that with commission chairmanHarold Davis.

Overall, the Democrats have a lot of strength ontown boards. But the Board of Selectmen is the “big tent” in local politics.

OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITORDevlin the right choice

To the Editor:

I have known Tom Devlin since I was 12. Duringthat time, Tom was a member of the Worcester Inter-Collegiate Network (today’s WICN-FM radio, anNPR affiliate in Worcester). He was an active partic-ipant in the struggle to keep the fledgling radio sta-tion alive when the board of directors wanted to shutit down.

Later, as a teen, I volunteered at that station andsaw Tom in action during staff meetings. As stationmanager, he was knowledgeable about what it tookto fund and manage a public radio station, and dealtwith staff conflicts thoughtfully and respectfully.

Today, we both have the good fortune to find our-selves living in Douglas. In addition to our sharedpublic radio past, we have both chosen to make edu-cation a large part of our lives. While I took the

direct approach and teach fourth-grade SpecialEducation, Tom chose to serve on the DouglasSchool Committee. He puts countless hours intomeetings and is committed to make Douglas’ schoolsthe best they can be.

As a teacher, I know this isn’t easy. Budgets, labornegotiations, state mandates, and parents all putincredible demands on people like Tom, who volun-teer to serve the school system. As chairman of theSchool Committee, I know that Tom’s experienceand knowledge serve the board well. The DouglasSchool Committee deserves a skilled, consideratechairman as it plans for the future educational needsof all children in Douglas. He deserves your vote onMay 13.

NORA WERMEDOUGLAS

Support new van purchaseTo the Editor:I am writing in strong support for the purchase of

a new Senior Center van as described in Article 15on the Uxbridge Annual Town Meeting Warrant onMay.

The Council on Aging van is used daily to trans-port our seniors to and from the daily congregatelunch program at the Senior Center as well as to CVSfor prescriptions, Super Wal-Mart, and to HannafordSupermarket on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The vanhas an automatic lift allowing us to transport wheel-chair-bound individuals and individuals with dis-abilities of any age.

The current van is a 1998 Ford Econoline that hasover 85,000 road miles and a significant amount ofvisible rust around the wheel chair lift. There is alsoa considerable amount of rust at the main side doorand the steps to enter the van are beginning to showsigns of rot. The van has had a significant amount ofrepairs in the last year including reconstructing thebattery box for the wheelchair lift due to rot, engineand spark plug repairs, and reinforcement to theexhaust system in order to hold it up and to keep thevan road worthy and operational.

One of the major keys to the operation of theUxbridge Senior Center is providing transportationservices to our seniors who no longer drive. Duringthe month of March the Senior Center provided 511rides. As you can see, the Senior Center van is verybusy and used each day to help meet the transporta-tion needs of our citizenry. It is also important tonote that Tri Valley, Inc. recently announced that theUxbridge Senior Center ranked #1 in attendance attheir congregate meal site, serving approximately 26

individuals per day.Our van, and the transportation services provided

from the Senior Center, helped us to achieve this dis-tinction. Our van transportation service also givesour homebound citizens the option to get out andsocialize with their peers and to make that much-needed human contact. We are concerned that if thevan continues to deteriorate it will not make itthrough another winter. We need a safe, fully func-tional van in order to continue to provide the currentlevel of transportation services for our seniors. Webelieve anything less at this particular time will neg-atively impact our Center and the well being of ourcitizenry.

The cost of a new 14-passenger van with a wheel-chair lift is approximately $65,000.00. We will be seek-ing your support at Town Meeting to replace the cur-rent van, which has been in service for 10 years andhas reached its maximum life expectancy. TheUxbridge Elderly Connection, Inc. has agreed to helpfund-raise for part of the cost of the van, but it can-not do it all.

In saying this, we urge the people of Uxbridge tocome to Town Meeting and support the SeniorCenter transportation services. We ask that youshow support to the seniors that have been support-ing us for so many years by approving Article 15 forthe new van. We also seek your support of the FY09operational budget for the Council on Aging,Uxbridge Senior Center.

Reelect BrouilletteTo the Editor,As a former selectman in Douglas, I can appreci-

ate the amount of work involved and the complexityof the issues that often come before the board.

I had the good fortune to work with PaulaBrouillette for several years and she is now runningfor reelection. Her dedication to the position isunquestioned. Her ability to reach out beyondDouglas to look at regional solutions — like the eco-nomic development potential found at the FourTown Group — is held up as a model for others.Paula understands what public service is all aboutand, simply put, she is a servant to the public. Shemakes the best possible decisions on our behalf after

carefully weighing the pros and cons of issueswhether it involves personnel, policies or projects,she is always looking out for the best interest of thetaxpayers.

It is not easy to make decisions on behalf of theseveral thousand residents you represent and rarelyis every one of them happy with the job you do. Butone would be very hard pressed to find a finer select-man than Paula Brouillette to represent the town ofDouglas. I urge you to get out and vote for her onTuesday, May 13.

Still seething from having beendeprived of an executiveappointment to the office of

Postmaster General, revolutionaryicon and local agitator ThomasPaine editorialized that the worldwould have trouble deciding“...Whether [President GeorgeWashington] had abandoned goodprinciples…or whether [he] everhad any.”

Little did Payne know then thathe was somewhat of a precursor tothe now standard fare approach toAmerican politics known as mudslinging.

It stands to reason that this lega-cy from our founders has beengreatly augmented in this ourInternet age, as it is very well suit-ed for today’s open ended format,which allows for the free, uninter-rupted exchange of ideas, humor,or just plain vitriolic banter fromthe venting national — and global— punditry, including any whowould seek to expound, educate,offend, and ultimately neutralize opponents from respec-tive political parties. Or, as hasbeen the case more recently, feud-ing potential nominees from within the same fold.

Unfortunately, to the great dis-service of healthy debate, today’spolitically correct milieu haswrought a new breed of gun-shy

politicians, who have tried to brand any criticism of their oppo-nents as an illegitimate form ofpublic discourse.

A moratorium on mudslingingwas recently put in effect by BarackObama himself, through a disin-genuous pledge that his would be a mudslinging-free campaign. Butthe latter was ignored by both con-tenders in the Democratic primar-ies, and exposed as simply a pre-emptive attempt to shame the opposition from dredging up anypotentially embarrassing tidbitsfrom Obama’s past. The rest is now history.

As Obama well knows, the chiefpurpose of mudslinging is to raisesuspicions about the moral back-bone of one’s opponent. Anddespite the personal philosophy ofethics compartmentalization thatseemed to rule the day during thecelebrated Clinton years, savvypoliticians are keenly aware ofthe benefits linked to evoking —and preserving — a favorableimpression of our inner characterthrough one’s public persona. Forwhen all is said and done, it is thepublic trust that they must earn inorder to secure the most votes.

It is also the hope of even themost inveterate partisan voter thatthe person to whom he is yieldingauthority has the required strength

of character to wield it properly.Thus, mudslinging and legitimatecriticism, though often seen as dis-similar approaches to political dia-logue, are basically two sides of thesame coin, and often yield the samedesired result: more transparency.

It is not unfair for example, toinquire about a presidential candi-date’s readiness to take on the jobfor which he or she is vying, or hispersonal relationships with ques-tionable characters; or to questionanother candidate’s motives forgratuitously embellishing a story.

The accused should make effortsto atone for such lapses in judg-ment. At a minimum they shouldexplain why the alleged affiliationsno longer influence their judgment,or how it came about that theirtelling of a certain event has theappearance of having been deliber-ately reconfigured for purposes ofself-aggrandizement.

And not all criticism can be clas-sified as mudslinging, nor is mud-slinging always to be dismissed asunfair criticism. Some mudsling-ing has been unfairly characterizedas the latter when it is in fact mere-ly a call to accountability.

As it is, politicians have alwaysbeen loath to engage in any type ofhumility-laden self-introspection,since their central concern is toproject moral strength from allangles. But even good old-fashionedmudslinging is sometimes a funway of exposing the weaknesses ofyour opponent, not to mention gal-vanizing your own base

Someone must find the courageto carry on this cherishedAmerican political tradition.Unfortunately the mainstreammedia, which is not known as a bas-tion of objectivity, has alreadyadopted the role of arbitrator inthis field. And few and far betweenare the alternative media outletsthat do not let their partisanshipget in the way of objective report-ing, as the majority are primarilygeared toward one purpose only: tosearch and destroy the opposition.

Yet a balance must be struck.Mean-spirited mudslinging donefor the only purpose of slanderingor destroying an opponent ratherthan engendering healthy debateinvariably tends to get old quickly.

And there’s no guarantee thatsimply dismissing these inquiriesas partisan attacks will reflectfavorably on those against whomsuch charges are leveled. There ishowever a grace period for thosewho are regularly exempt fromhaving to answer such meddle-some queries by virtue of the factthat they happen to be Democrats,or those who are frequently givena free pass by the main streammedia; but I repeat myself.

Hopefully mudslinging willendure, because presently we aresaturated with endearing imagesfrom the politician’s own quarters,since their goal is, understand-ably, to always give the bestimpression.

Only a healthy dose of criticism,mixed in with a bit of mudsling-ing — also sometimes referred toas “swift-boating” in some circles— can provide a balance and anopportunity to see a side of thecandidate he or she does not wantto expose. And it is only fair thatthe accused party be given ampleopportunity to respond to the alle-gations, just so that there are nosurprises.

If you don’t believe me, just askJohn Kerry.

OPINIONIn Praise of Mudslinging

It’s been a little more thana week since Earth Day2008, held April 22. Across

the United States, collegecampuses celebrated by hand-ing out information on globalwarming, encouraging peo-ple to use less energy, andeven asking people to plantflowers. It would seem thatEarth Day has come a longway in the past 38 years, since1970 when it was first cele-brated.

Yet without taking into consideration the last eightyears, here’s what’s changedsince the very first Earth Day, up until Y2K’s Earth Day celebration:

• “The human population

has increased from 3.7 billionto 6 billion (62 percent),” saysJoel Kovel, author of the 2007book The Enemy of Nature.

• “Oil consumption hasincreased from 46 millionbarrels a day to 73 million,”Kovel says.

• “The overall rate ofextinction is at least fifty toone hundred times higher —and perhaps several thou-sand times higher — than thenormal background rate,”write Betsy Taylor and DaveTilford in the year 2000. “Thelast time such a mass extinc-tion is believed to haveoccurred was 65 million yearsago, when a dramatic shift inglobal climate patterns ended

the age of the dinosaurs.”So planting that flower on

Earth Day hasn’t done as much good as we might be thinking.

Don’t get me wrong; it’sgood to have a day like EarthDay, to take a moment to con-sider that we do need to takecare of our planet in order tokeep living on it. But theproblem with things likeEarth Day, and with themajority of suggestions thatAl Gore made at the end ofhis Academy Award winningfilm “An InconvenientTruth?” Well, that most ofthe things don’t really add up to much.

Sure, it’s better to do some-

thing rather than nothing,but it’s quite plain to see thatplanting a flower on EarthDay isn’t really doing much tooffset the carbon emissions ofthe globe’s 730 million motorvehicle population. And that730 million figure was onlyaccurate as of 2000, accordingto Kovel — not taking into

account the past eight years,or the fact that new, smallercars are now being marketedin Asia, which will presum-ably drive that number intothe billions.

I can remember having thegood fortune to be at DisneyWorld one Earth Day when Iwas younger. I was thrilled towear a shiny metallic pinwith Jiminy Cricket on it, thewords “Earth Day 1996!”emblazoned on the front. ButI have to take a step back towonder: how much energywas put into making thosepins, unnecessarily spentenergy, to promote a daywhich promotes Americans(and others) decreasing their

energy consumption? It might seem silly to pick

on some pins from DisneyWorld, but the greater impli-cations mean a lot more,spreading to businesses thatcapitalized off the green cam-paign to make money. Put acool slogan on a T-shirt, printup a whole lot of new materi-als and information, pro-claim that your store sellsorganic foods (fresh fromSouth America!), and presto!You’ve got yourself morebusiness. People feel gooddoing small things, after all,to save the planet. But if thatorganic food is indeedimported from South

Earth Day numbers don’t add to much

America, then you can bet a lot of money(and unnecessary energy) was spent in get-ting it to you off-season here in the UnitedStates. And don’t be fooled into thinking thatall companies putting “green” messages onT-shirts are actually ecologically sound; mar-keting is, after all, the name of the game, andmost companies would do just about any-thing to sell a product. Earth Day is a day ofawareness—promoted at the expense ofwasting more energy than is necessary tospread that awareness, especially when it hasvirtually no impact on the way we live asAmericans in a consumer society.

Planting a flower, changing a few lightbulbs to conserve energy, and following awhole slew of suggestions Gore promoted atthe end of his film are all good ideas—but

when made voluntary, and when adoptedonly by a small percent of people who con-tinue to consumer major quantities of ener-gy in 99 percent of their lives, they are prettyuseless overall.

This isn’t to say that we should just shrugour shoulders and do nothing. On the con-trary, we should be doing more. As Taylorand Tilford wrote in a recent article: “…Ifeveryone consumed at the level of the aver-age North American, it would take four extraplanets to provide the necessary resources tosurvive.” There’s a serious problem if wethink that everyone is entitled to a standardof living that our planet can’t actually sup-port.

What to do? Well, a bigger start than chang-ing a light bulb or buying more things (eventhings that have “green” messages on them),would be to quit buying stuff we don’t need.That’s a major reason we are in this mess to

begin with—we don’t

actually need all the stuff that is being adver-tised to us on television, or that we buy on aday-to-day basis.

Duane Elgin points out a few key things ina 1993 article about living simply — namely,that the values our country was founded onsupporting living a more simple life.Puritans, Quakers, and Transcendentalists(like Henry David Thoreau) all stressed val-ues like temperate living, frugality, and thedesire to live a “rich inner life” rather than acluttered life full of crazed consumption ofgoods that television advertisements tell us(directly or indirectly, through dream-likesequences and a lot of unnecessary sex) thatwe’ve got to have.

Elgin even notes that Judeo-Christian val-ues coincide with living simply and in doingso, preserving our planet, as Proverbs 30:8says: “Give me neither poverty nor wealth.”

So, it’s a week after Earth Day. DisneyWorld has presumably tossed the extra pins

aside, and some of us will water the flowerswe planted today and tomorrow, and hopeful-ly the day after that, too. But more than doinglittle things — which are still important andgood, but simply aren’t enough—let’s try tolive more simply. It won’t just help save ourplanet; it will also save us time, money, andaggravation — and we could spend the timewe’d normally use to spend money doingsomething worthwhile, like spending timewith family or friends.

Earth Day numbers don’t add to much

The state’swild hasb e g u n

and theprospects con-tinue to lookgreat thanks tothe recentwarm weatherthat has put theturkeys matingseason into full swing.

The Vermont wild turkey season com-menced on May 1 and the state is telling sports-men to come and enjoy a turkey hunt in thestate.Vermont does not have a lottery system asin Massachusetts, so an out of state sportsmencan purchase a permit any time during thespring or fall hunt.

Last year, sportsmen harvested more than5,000 birds from an estimated flock of 50,000birds, and it all started with 31 birds being relo-cated in that state in 1969! Just another successstory that was funded entirely from sports-men’s monies.

• Cod and haddock fishing aboard some ofthe North Shore head boats has been hot oneday, good the next and poor on another. Thereis no real pattern set up yet, but it should bustwide open any day.

• The Clipper Fleet in Newburyport, Mass.had a super day recently, catching haddocknonstop. It has been spotty ever since!

• Stripers have started to show in RhodeIsland. No real blitz of school stripers are beingcaught as of this writing, at least from my con-tacts. Tautog fishing opens soon, but the limitwill stay at three fish daily.

• Trout fishing at Wallum Lake in Douglashas slowed to a crawl, at least for people I havetalked with. This writer found out first handlast Sunday after my brother Ken and I spent afew hours trolling the lake. We threw every-

thing but the kitchen sink at them with not asingle hit. Others who fished that day reportedthe same results! The waters were still cold,despite the recent warm weather. Althoughsome fish were marker on the fish finder closerto shore, no fish could be found in the deeperwaters of the lake.

• A Singletary Rod & Gun Club membercaught a monster 10 lb. rainbow trout at therecent derby held for members only. What abeauty!

• The Whitinsville Fish & Game Club held itsannual spring derby this past weekend for clubmembers and the weather could have not beenbetter! A large number of young anglers par-ticipated in the event and also enjoyed free hot-dogs and hamburgers. Prizes were awarded toanglers catching the largest fish, which includ-ed all of the young anglers.

• The Wachusett Reservoir continues to pro-vide anglers with some impressive catches oflake trout and bass. Although only shore fish-ing is allowed, anglers always anticipate catch-ing the big one.

• Fishing on local streams and rivers hasimproved over the last week and most if not allhave been stocked at least one or more times bythe state. Anglers are reminded of the high firedanger at this time and are urged to useextreme caution with smoking practices.

NORTHBRIDGE

• Gloria Morvan of 642 Quaker St., wasarrested Tuesday, April 22 and charged withdomestic assault and battery, assault with adangerous weapon (knife), assault and batterywith a dangerous weapon (candle holder).

According to police, Morvan punched herhusband in the face, struck him in the headwith a candleholder and fled the residence.Upon returning home 45 minutes later, sheallegedly grabbed a kitchen knife and chasedher husband around the yard and threatenedhim. Her husband sustained minor bruisesand abrasions.

Investigating officers were Sgt. ShawnHenry, Officer Joshua Nadeau and OfficerMatthew Leonard.


manufacturing planner. Then she workedfor Bytex in Southboro, which made Internetequipment, specifically switching for main-frames.

Some of the leading issues she sees facingselectmen and the town are:

° Developing an implementation and fund-ing plan for road, water/sewer and utilityimprovements for the newly establishedexpedited permitting sites located at theFour Town area (Pyne Sand & Gravel sitenear Route 146) and at the Webster line southof Route 16.

° Supporting sound fiscal managementpolicies to provide maximum value from tax-payer dollars by establishing five-year opera-tional and capital plans and implementingregional services where applicable.

° Prioritizing and implementing theGovernment Study Committee’s recommen-dations on reorganization of Douglas towngovernment.

“The organizational structure of the townis very flat,” Brouillette commented.

She said under one of the study’s recom-mendations, all financial operations wouldbe consolidated in one office answerable to atown manager. Currently the town has a

treasurer, a tax collector, a town accountant,assessors and staff that work for them,Brouillette noted.

She has often said that the Douglas towngovernment works because of the quality ofits people.

“The genius of America,” she said, “is thatmore than 200 years ago a small group puttogether an organizational structure that[still] works.”

That genius is evident at the local level,too, she said.

“Douglas has the same structure as in 1746(when the town was incorporated),” shesaid, “and it works very well. It’s beingstretched by our modern needs. That youhave a structure that’s lasted for that long isamazing.”

Be that as it may, Brouillette thinks itimportant to be open to change.

“There are all kinds of options on how tomaximize town management,” she said, not-ing “the complexities of today.”

“Common sense is a good attribute,” sheadded, “but it’s not the only thing you needin town government. You need specific tech-nical training to take advantage of the vari-ety of options available.”

If you have a Department of Public Worksand a maintenance plan, you can accessgrants from the state and federal govern-ments, she said. “If you want to get recre-

ation facilities but the only way to do it isthrough volunteer help,” she said, “youcouldn’t get federal grants.”

The federal government wants to be sure aproject is done if a grant is awarded, shesaid, and a town’s commitment to mainte-nance of such a project, for example, a recre-ation facility, is proof of such a commit-ment, she explained.

“I’ve always been someone who likes tosolve problems,” Brouillette said, adding shesupposed it was why she liked math enoughto major in it.

“In any complex computation,” she said,“the answer can be so far from your currentsituation because there are a lot of steps[that have to be taken].”

“I try to break it up into sizable chunks,”she said of a problem like generating coop-eration among the Four Town PlanningGroup.

Brouillette said Douglas officials — andthe Four Town Planning Group — are look-ing at the eventual industrial/commercialdevelopment of the Pyne Sand & Gravel siteand the area to the north of that, as well asalong Gilboa Street west to the Interfaceplant (formerly the Hayward-SchusterWoolen Mill) as that land becomes available.

Other issues she cited were the questionsof what to do with the library (it needs reno-vations and a ramp for the handicapped, and

the historic building may be expanded) andwith the 1898 Elementary School (closedsince 1980).

“What kind of public space do we want?”she posed a question she hopes the town con-siders.

Brouillette also sees a continuing financialchallenge.

“The state budget does not look as if it willbe so robust,” she said. The implication wasthat financial distributions to the town maywell be less as a percentage of town budgetsthan in the past, or below what town officialsmay expect.

Brouillette, 56, has been a Douglas resi-dent for 31 years. She is married to DerekBrown and has two stepchildren.

She founded and has at times chaired theFour Town Planning Group, is a 2002 gradu-ate of Leadership Blackstone Valley, and in2003 was president of the Blackstone RiverValley CorridorKeepers. She has servedsince 1999 on the Douglas CapitalImprovement Committee and for two yearsas chairman. She was a member of theMaster Plan Implementation Committeefrom 1998 to 2001, and was on the FinanceCommittee from 1995-2004, serving as vicechairman for two years. From 1988 to 1995Brouillette was a member of the BlackstoneValley Rape Crisis Team, serving as chair-man for two years.

A snapping turtle climbsa 45-degree hill of pebbles on one side of the dam to find a sandy place to lay her eggs. The chiseled wall just downstream of the West Hill Dam catches the rays of the afternoon sun.

Perfect Day for Turtles


UXBRIDGE — A string of perfectdays finally greeted everyone lastweek, and nature came alive in tem-peratures that hovered near 80.

A gray beehive hung from abranch over the West River. It was ina safe place, non-accessible to mosthikers. Canoeists could get a goodlook at the gray swirl, but they couldalso miss it because it was suspend-ed almost directly over their pathalong the river.

The Army Corps of Engineers,which manages the John Chafee

Blackstone River Valley NationalHeritage Corridor, oversees a log-ging operation now below the dam.Hundreds of feet of huge pine logslie cut and stacked. Many of the logsare onetime diseased trees, but thecuts on others show no insect infes-tation. However, they may give evi-dence of it at the other ends, or theremay have been disease in one section. Those trees can get to 80feet in height.

There is enough lumber there tostart a subdivision.

Birds and mice have their ownKohler plumbing, and horse manure

is regarded as a form of hay. Dogs,however, are in that in-between size,so plastic bags are provided for own-ers to take along and follow up withat propitious moments.

For such a small river, the Westgot a lot of attention after the Floodof 1955. It would have been an easyengineering feat to hold back thestream while workmen pile-drovesteel rods down into the bedrockwhere the dam now stands. Thewhole edifice looks like a section ofthe Hoover — well, not really — butit is a gargantuan dam given the sizeof the river. The people who com-

missioned its design were probablythinking of what happened down-stream to places like Woonsockethalf a century ago when they threwup the impressive dam and an earthworks that is one of the BlackstoneValley’s seven wonders.

A man stood on the bridge overthe West River fishing for trout. Hehad a long net with two or threetrout in it.

“They stock it,” he said.“With trout?” someone asked him.“Yeh.”“How many you think — a

thousand?”

“Yeh.”At other times, a group of three or

four men, sometimes intergenera-tional, come along with rods and alarge bucket. Although manyanglers seem inordinately serious,some have a sense of humor aboutthe fact they just never expect tocatch 17 trout.

“Who’s the chef ?” someone askedthe group.

“We don’t worry about that,” the older man replied with a hearty smile. “We’re just trying to catch fish.”

ROANN KARNSUEPTO

A bunch of nonsenseTo the Editor:Amazing how former political gadflys and edi-

torials from people who have no government serv-ice continue to resonate about the reductions ofDouglas building inspector hours.

Congratulations to the two freshmen selectmenand current chairman who have begun to takesteps to address the white elephants that haveroamed the Town Hall for far too long.

I am sure that there is a valid explanation onhow one can work full time in one town whileworking part time in another at the same job. Onehas to be a fool to believe the jobs never over-lapped. Furthermore, there were many opportuni-ties to provide supportive information over thepast year with regards to real tasks, real work andreal hours by both the building inspector andtown administrator. Of course, we have oneselectmen who does nothing but talk aboutprocess and delivers nada.

Then, to have a former BOS chairman chastisethe current members with a reading from the out-dated selectmen’s handbook! Wow, I wonder ifthat person ever read it and frankly understood it.

Then we have a current member who constant-ly speaks of the Four Town Group initiative thatDouglas taxpayers have invested $10,000 in. Thenwe have the Chamberlain property that has yet to

return the breakeven point that we were promisedso many years ago. We also have this same select-man plus one other using the taxpayers to pay fortheir medical benefits and have stood idly bywhile others (part-time assessor and constableamongst others) have jumped on board to the tuneof $80,000 in taxpayer-supported monies. And last-ly, when has new money been put into the stabi-lization account in the past six years by ourprocess speaking selectmen? Those who do, act,while those who don’t typically talk about processor reading handbooks.

Incidentally, addressing the building depart-ment was one of the many recommendationsfound in the Government Study Report. If the firechief has a real issue with their decision, he canresign and go work elsewhere but for his benefit —if we have to fund a fulltime building inspector orone more EMT with the same monies, this taxpay-er (and by the way quite a few others I’ve spokenwith of late) choose the EMT.

Oh, and unlike editorials that have no clueabout finances — there are no other moniesexcept tax increases and frankly we are fed upwith them.

This team of health care stakeholders willwork with experts from around the country toidentify current challenges facingMassachusetts; assess strategic policy options;and revise or refine current state-specificplans. They will also meet with policymakersfrom other states to share experiences and bestpractices. As part of the State QualityInstitute, participants will discuss variousquality domains including; value-based pur-chasing; data collection and transparency; carecoordination; and disease prevention and well-ness. Massachusetts will also benefit fromtechnical assistance and research support.

“Massachusetts is honored to be participat-ing in the State Quality Improvement Institute,which will help focus the state’s efforts to makemeasurable improvements in quality and effi-ciency,” said Bigby. “Being selected for thisvery competitive program reflectsMassachusetts’ commitment to improving thequality of health care and complements arange of efforts already underway through theHealth Care Quality and Cost Council, theDepartment of Public Health, the Office ofMedicaid and other agencies.”

“This program provides us with an opportu-nity to share the valuable quality and safetyinitiatives we are implementing here inMassachusetts while at the same time learningabout some of the best practices being imple-mented in other states,” said Lynn Nicholas ofthe Massachusetts Hospital Association. “Onbehalf of all hospitals in Massachusetts, I amhonored to join with this distinguished team ofstakeholders to improve care for all patients.”

AcademyHealth and The CommonwealthFund selected nine states through a competi-tive process designed to identify states with thecommitment, leadership, and resources neces-sary to build on previous success and concep-tualize and implement substantive new qualityimprovement efforts. The eight other stateschose for the Institute were: Colorado, Kansas,Minnesota, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon,Vermont, and Washington.

Valley Tech students foster ‘Green’ movement

REGION — In a recent published opinionpiece, president of the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology Dr. Susan Hockfieldsaid “the intriguing problems of energy andthe environment are setting the hearts andminds of young people ablaze.”

As a Massachusetts Green School,Blackstone Valley Regional VocationalTechnical High School in Upton is an exampleof a building with renewable energy and ener-gy-conserving aspects. While people in thebuilding on a day-to-day basis see first-handexamples of cost-saving and environmentalfriendly operations, three Valley Tech stu-dents are making a concerted effort toincrease energy conservation awarenesswithin the school community and the publicat large.

Juniors Lindsay Melanson, of Milford, andUxbridge’s Justina D’Amato and NicoleOnanian have been formulating a campaignto impress upon others how every effort, smallor large, is a valuable piece toward solving aglobal problem.

“We are just trying to make people realizethat it is important to do everything they can,because if we all contribute it helps with thebigger problem,” said D’Amato. “We’ve beenusing announcements, postings, and areinvolved in our school Green Team efforts.”

The three honors students who are activelyinvolved in SkillsUSA Massachusetts are tak-ing a leading role in this school-wide initiativeand have produced a creative video highlight-ing energy conservation to bring out into thelocal community.

SkillsUSA is a national organization thatprovides students, particularly those in careertechnical education programs, with opportu-nities to demonstrate their occupationalexpertise through a variety of leadership,teamwork, and citizenship experiences. Withmore than 25,000 members, SkillsUSAMassachusetts is the largest educationalorganization in New England and the secondlargest state chapter in the country. Thenational organization boasts more than275,000 members.

The three Valley Tech students are alsoexploring an expansive sale of energy effi-cient compact fluorescent light bulbs and get-ting staff members to commit to pledges ofefforts they will make at home toward energyconservation.

“Probably the biggest obstacle to overcomeis getting people to change their attitude,”Melanson said. “It’s just a matter of makingthem change their habits.”

Valley Tech, which underwent a majorexpansion and renovation from 2003-2006, wasnamed a Green School by the MassachusettsTechnology Collaborative. Thanks to a grantby the MTC, a total of $650,000 went into solar

photovoltaic arrays, solar domestic hot waterpanels, and solar daylighting tubes. In certainclassrooms there are also daylight sensorswhich turn some of the lighting off becauseenough light is coming in from the outside.Most of the building has occupancy motionsensors which will turn off lights if it doesnot detect anyone in the area.

The school participates in recycling paper,certain metals, and Valley Tech’s water con-sumption is lower as a result of automaticshutoffs on faucets, waterless urinals, andlow-flush toilets. In addition to high-efficient,dual-fuel (gas and oil) boilers, the buildinguses a re-circulating, dehumidifying, re-condi-tioning air system.

The entire building is monitored by a com-puterized system that can be programmed toturn off lights, heat, and air systems depend-ing upon the occupation of the building.

that record are 13 league championships, 11Super Bowl appearances, and seven SuperBowl championships.

He has received the CentralMassachusetts Football Officials Award,and the Mewhiney Chapter of the NationalFootball Foundation and College Hall ofFame Award for Contribution to CentralMassachusetts. He has also been a ShrinersFootball Classic Coach three times, and hasreceived the Massachusetts InterscholasticSportsmanship Award.

LaChapelle is known for more than hisastonishing number of gridiron wins. He issurrounded by a large and adoring familyafter every game. The scene includes hiswife Claire, a longtime teacher, three sonsand a daughter, and preschool grandchil-dren and elementary school grandchildrenwho may well be water boys for the Rams.

LaChapelle’s teams won Super Bowlchampionships in 1987, 1989, 1997, 1998,2001, 2002 and 2007. The 1989 team, onwhich his son Trevor played, went 11-0 andthe 2002 team was 12-0.

LaChapelle was a standout high schoolathlete at Northbridge, playing quarter-back for coach John Doldoorian in the mid-1960s. He was also a noteworthy catcher ona baseball team that went to the districtfinals. One member of that team was GlennAdams, who as a designated hitter hit .338for the Minnesota Twins in 1977.

LaChapelle went on to the University ofMassachusetts and began coaching footballas an assistant for six years at NorthbridgeHigh. During that stint he was part of thecoaching staff headed by Joe Jackman thatpresided over the school’s first Super Bowl

championship, a 21-20 win against Ware in1974.

High school athletes were known to moveto Northbridge mainly so that they couldplay football under LaChapelle.

Others turned down efforts at recruit-ment elsewhere.

For example, Danny Brown, who graduat-ed from Harvard in 2007 and is currentlyplaying quarterback on an Italian profes-sional football team, had a chance to go toChoate, a famous prep school inWallingford, Conn.

“I had two kids who got an educationthrough playing football at Northbridge,”said Joel Brown, father of Dustin Brown,Class of 2000, and of Danny Brown, Class of2003.

Joel Brown equated a large part of thesuccess each son had, Dustin in attendingand playing football at Bowdoin Collegeand Danny at Harvard, with the footballbackground they received at Northbridge.Dustin Brown was a receiver and cornerfor the Rams, and Brown set school recordsas a quarterback. In fact, he threw for 67TDs and ran for 38. His last three years,Northbridge teams went 8-3, 11-1 and 12-0for a 31-4 record and two Super Bowl titles.

“The Choate football coach offeredDanny a four-year free ride, but he wouldhave had to repeat the ninth grade atChoate,” Joel Brown said.

“I think it says it all about KenLaChapelle that Danny turned down theChoate offer, choosing rather to play forKen LaChapelle,” his father said.

He added that he thought both Dustin andDanny especially learned about playingoffense at Northbridge.

As Joel Brown, Danny’s father tells it,the Choate football coach was reviewing a

film of a Northbridge football game to seehow Dustin Brown, Danny’s older brother,then a senior playing for the 1999 Rams,looked as a post-graduate prospect forChoate football.

“They offered Dustin a post-graduatefootball scholarship for one year if he did-n’t get into Bowdoin the year (2000) of hisgraduation from Northbridge,” Brownsaid. Dustin Brown did go straight toBowdoin.

“But the coach said, ‘Who’s that kid play-ing quarterback?’” Brown recalled. “Hewas astonished to learn Danny was only 14.He was starting for the varsity the last partof that year.”

“It’s overdue,” Marc Michalski of SuttonStreet, a Rams fan for 50 years, said ofLaChapelle’s award.

“I’ve seen others inducted for differentreasons,” Michalski said. “What he’saccomplished, I couldn’t imagine why hewasn’t put in earlier.”

“In football,” Michalski said, “the coachmakes a big difference. More differencethan any of the other sports I know about.”

Michalski spoke of what LaChapelle hadachieved with last season’s 12-1 team.

“They had a lack of size in the line,” hesaid, “but last season was a prime exampleof good coaching. They had some very goodtalent in the skilled positions. Mike Padrois one of the top two or three most electri-fying receivers I’ve ever seen in high schoolfootball.”

Michalski said he thought LaChapelledeserved the recognition not only becauseof his wins, but because “he doesn’t let thekids get away with anything (he cited twogroundings of star players before hugegames) and he doesn’t run up the score.”

LaChapelle thanked the High School

Football Association for his selection to theHall of Fame, and noted how his sons andgrandchildren came up through the ranksas water boys, and remarked on how grati-fied he was that they progressed from thereup the line to playing and sometimesachieving memorable results.

He said he thought of the Football Hall ofFame as reserved for coaches who hadretired after distinguished careers, so hewas somewhat surprised but gratified to bechosen for the award while still an activecoach.

Dave Baldanza of Uxbridge, who teachesand is an assistant football coach andwrestling mentor in Westfield, was hon-ored for his many years of coaching andservice to the youth of the state.

Some 400 people attended the event.

LaChapelle inducted into Hall of Fame

“We’re outliving what we raiseand appropriate,” he declared.

“Another issue,” he said, “is the43D expediting of permitting. Iwant to be sure it receives the sup-port it should if we are ever tobust out of being [only] a residen-tial town and get a little industry.That’s where the good moneycomes from — square footage.”

Chesebrough grew up inProvidence, R.I., graduated fromMarlboro College, Vermont as achemistry major and received amaster’s in limnology (aquaticecology) from Middlebury College.He worked as an environmental

engineer for Massachusetts, muchof the time out of the CentralRegional Office of the Departmentof Environmental Protection. Hespecialized in issues of cleanwater in rivers and ponds, and didwater quality analysis and sam-pling of sewage treatment planteffluent, checking for compliancewith government regulations.

“I visited the Senior CenterWednesday (April 23),” he said.“They had some very practicalissues. ‘Why no trash cans in downtown Douglas?’ They were concerned about (having) a tidy downtown. ‘Why no Earth Day inDouglas?’ I’d like to see a community spirit.”

He questioned why there is still

no ramp at the library to complywith the Americans withDisabilities Act.

“There are little things you can do,” Chesebrough said,“to make the downtown a bright,friendly, clean place… It’s not that bad now. Maybe stencil a tigeron trash cans.”

“One of the most gratifyingexperiences of that time,”Chesebrough remarked about hisservice as a selectman before,“was the ability to help residentssolve problems and get thingsdone.”

“If elected,” he said, “I wouldtry my best to continue in that tradition.”

“Douglas currently faces some

serious and important issues,”Chesebrough said.

He was referring, among otherthings, to the Government StudyCommittee report.

“It was a thorough and thought-ful report,” he said. “Yet we mustbe careful and cautious when con-sidering such changes.”

Chesebrough said he would “notlike to see the character and smalltown amenities and freedoms ofDouglas sacrificed in the name ofprogress.”

“I am now retired after nearly 35years with the MassachusettsDivision of Water PollutionControl (DEP),” Chesebroughsaid. “That means I am on a fixedincome and will scrutinize every

expenditure.”“My wife Ellie and I have been

Douglas residents since 1975 andhave operated a farm since then,”Chesebrough said.

The couple has two children.He noted he is currently a mem-

ber of the Planning Board and ofthe Cable Advisory Committee. Healso served on the Master PlanImplementation Committee.

Chesebrough said that when hereceived his master’s degree inaquatic ecology, he could haveworked at Woods Hole, but he preferred fresh water.

He said there is an aquifer under about 20 percent of thetown of Douglas.

and has a handlebar mustache and a flatterhat. His hands are on his hips and he wearsbaggy pants. He is smoking a pipe. Two fairlyyoung men wear what look like white paintoveralls, but which could be suitable for anumber of jobs. A middle-aged man with a

mustache, a soft-brimmed, smallish hat andloose-fitting pants stands in the center of thegroup. The tilt of his hat is reaffirmed in theshadow his figure makes on the front of thestation. Next to him is a man in formal attirewith a top hat. The latter is perfectly silhouet-ted on the station wall. The stationmasterstands with his hands thrust into the deeppockets of a long coat. He has the same kind ofhat still worn by railroad conductors. Becausehe is the only one almost directly facing thelow sun, the shadow he casts is different, out-lining his drum-like hat, but not his visor. Tothe far right, a man in informal attire slouch-es atop some boxes. His feet do not touch theground.

Railway stations, which began to go up soonafter trains appeared in the mid-19th century,were highly democratic, reflecting a cross sec-tion of society.

The stations were built with roofs that over-hung the walls by some six feet, keepingpatrons dry as they waited outside in a rain. Astove was positioned at the center of the build-ing, where stories were no doubt exchangedon a cold winter’s day.

The Linwood (Village) station served as thegathering point for rail passengers to andfrom Northbridge. A narrow-gauge track con-nected it as far as a mile west along theMumford River and Linwood Avenue to theWhitin Machine Works. The latter dependedon the railway for receiving raw materials andfor shipping out textile machine parts,although entire factories received on-locationservices throughout the world from Whitinworkmen.

The Blackstone station was built in 1873.They hammered inwooden pegs and let itstand sturdy as aSwiss chalet until the

spell of rail travel faded even as troops of carscrossed the nearby Blackstone River bridge.

Into the late 1960s. over at the Union Hotel inBlackstone, retired railroad men sat playingcards in the unoppressive ease of a bygoneera.

Many of those stations have been takendown. Others have been converted to modernuses. A few others stand like deserted troll-houses, cracked windows held together bybolts.

The once-proud center that held cannot holdagainst taxes and the automobile, thoughnothing so kinetic as what Yeats called “mereanarchy” was let loose.

Instead, as things wound down decades ago,there was the quiet of a milkweed sheddingsilver cotton during the long interludesbetween trains at the Putnam stop.

In Uxbridge, a remarkable example of the19th century, roomy, gabled style of architec-ture common to railroad stations still persistsas a bank.

At Putnam, some 35 miles down the linefrom Blackstone, the station by the late 1960shad become a touch point for buses now andthen, and a few trains came by. A tunnel fromthe main bypass thoroughfare under thetracks and up to the station harked back to thetime all that tile construction was possiblebecause there were passengers.

Admonitions from Plato and other authori-ties out of the distant past enlivened the “sub-way” walls, reinforcing the sense of historypervading the place.

And there, except for two or three personssitting on those rough waiting benches fromwhere the panorama of a nation’s growth wasoften contemplated — there under milkweedwere the passing forms of those once elegantgymnasiums for greetings.

Town Manager’s Recommended Annual Budget for FY2009 dated April 24, 2008(Updated from 2/29/08) for Consideration at the Annual Town Meeting of 5/13/08

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, and Residents of the Town ofUxbridge:

I respectfully present a summary of the Uxbridge Town Manager’s proposed Fiscal Year2009 Operating Budget. Please visit the Town’s website for an expanded version of this doc-ument and well as other budget and Town Meeting related items (www.uxbridge-ma.gov).Free internet access is available at the Uxbridge Free Library and Senior Center. Copies arealso available at the Town Clerk’s Office, Senior Center, Library and Office of the TownManager.

The recommended budget is based on forecasted revenue of $34,381,784 (see Exhibit A).The FY2009 budget funds Town operations within the funding limitations of Proposition 2 ?.The original Town Manager’s Budget Message, dated 2/29/08, funded the budget at levelservices with a limited offset of $515,448 from Stabilization. However, considering currenteconomic conditions, I believe that it is more prudent to maximize our reserves by fundingthe FY 2009 budget without the use of Stabilization Funds. The proposed FY2009 budgetrepresents a decrease of $341,224.00 (or -.97%) in the operating budget as compared to FY2008. Balancing the FY 2009 budget was made especially challenging due to the fact thatthe FY2008 budget relied on the use of $1,193,000 of Stabilization funds. Crafting a budgetthat would not use Stabilization again in FY2009 necessitated significant reductions to themunicipal departments as well as the school department. Unfortunately, this budget willreduce Town services to a critical level. The increasing costs of payroll, health care, pensionobligations, insurances, and utilities present fiscal challenges in future years as well. ExhibitB contains a summary of the Town Manager’s current recommendation.

The FY 2009 municipal budget, as proposed, eliminates or leaves vacant 3 full-time staff,significantly reduces the hours of two other positions, and eliminates 4 part-time staff posi-tions. The overall municipal budget is reduced by $197,182 (or -3.59%) as compared to FY2008. The Uxbridge Schools budget is recommended to be reduced by $322,292 (or -1.79%). Non-discretionary costs, such as debt, health insurance, retirement, and other costs,as well as the Blackstone Valley School assessment, and the transportation contract areexpected to rise by a combined $181,750, or 1.62%.

A plan proposed by the Finance Director and School Business Manager and presented atthe April 17, 2008 meeting of the Finance Committee balanced the FY 2009 budget withoutStabilization, by cutting $200,000 from the School/Town Building Maintenance line, $100,000from the Library, and $86,886 from the overall Town and School budgets. This plan is basedon the School Committee accepting the Town Manager’s budget recommendation of 2/29/08of $17,787,105, as well as an additional reduction of $74,428.00, resulting in a FY 2009School Department budget of $17,712,677. At present, the official school budget, as recom-mended by the School Committee is $18,544,516. The difference between the current SchoolCommittee request and the Town Manager’s recommended budget is $831,839.00. Thebudget will be discussed at the next scheduled School Committee meeting on May 6, 2008.

On Tuesday, April 22nd, we contacted the Board of Library Commissioners in Boston todiscuss the ramifications of the $100,000.00 potential budget reduction for the Library, andwere informed that the Library required a municipal contribution of $323,144 for FY 2009 inorder to avoid decertification, which will result in a loss in library grants ($16,290 projected inFY 2009) and suspension of interlibrary borrowing privileges through the C/W Mars system.The final version of the Town Manager’s recommended budget funds that amount, using pro-jected savings in our health insurance budget due to new lower cost options. Again, we willhave examine what services are important to residents and balance those choices on thelevel of services provided based on our ability to pay.

Unfortunately, the other budget cuts identified on 2/29/08 remain in place.As with the FY 2008 budget, I have continued to work to solicit input from community lead-

ers and department heads to seek ways to optimize revenue and reduce the rate of growthto expenditures. Exhibit C shows historical spending by purpose (municipal, educational andunclassified, e.g., employee benefits, debt and various assessments) from Fiscal 2007 to theManager’s proposed FY2009 budget.

The Town’s financial situation remains grave. The Town is taxing at its maximum levycapacity. Moody’s Investors Service has assigned the Town a negative outlook on its A2 bondrating due to the reduction in our undesignated fund balance and using one-time revenues tofund the omnibus operating budget. The Town’s independent auditors have cited an overallchange in that balance from 2.8 million in FY 2006 to 1.4 million in FY 2001. Federal and stateeconomic indictors point to an even more difficult budget year in FY 2010. Please refer to thecomplete Budget Message for a glimpse on our local economic outlook.

The municipal budget has been reduced to a point where it will not be able to sustain fur-ther reductions beyond what is proposed without department closures or the abdication ofdepartmental missions. Non-discretionary costs continue to rise at a rate that is not sustain-able. The cost of education continues to be a major concern.

The FY2009 budget makes clear the Town’s need to develop a sound strategy to encour-age further economic development and retain existing businesses. The Town also mustexamine its fee structures in order to capture as much revenue as possible to sustain serv-ices. If local government costs continue to outpace revenue at the rate that we are seeing inthe FY2008 and FY 2009 budgets, we will face the prospect of operational overrides or thedestruction of Town and Educational services as experienced by many communities. TheCommonwealth does not seem to have the resources to adequately support Town servicesin future years.

I am honored to continue serve as your Town Manager and work through these difficultissues as we are on the cusp of many great things for our community. I want to thank theelected officials for input during the Budget Summits this Fall and Winter, and our team ofprofessional staff who do more with even less than in prior years. Thank you also to the manyvolunteers on boards and committees, without whose participation would further impact ourservices and vision for the Town. Thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration, andI look forward to seeing you at the Spring Annual Town Meeting on May 13, 2008 at 7:00pmin the High School Gym.

Is the future of Uxbridgeimportant to you?

Prayer to St. JudeMay the Sacred Heart of Je-sus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray for us. St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us. St. Jude, helper of the hopeless, pray for us. Say this prayer 9 times a day for 9 days, by the 9th day your prayer will be answered even if you don’t believe. This no-vena has never been known to fail. Publication must be promised. Thank your St. Jude J.R.

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN

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

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Whenever I go to Florida for myannual vacation to visit mom so shecan see her granddaughter, I rent acar. It’s usually something full size.Last year it was a Pontiac Grand Prix,

which I liked. I never could under-stand all the criticism surrounding itbecause I found it to be a solid sedan,even in the rental car trim level.I now understand why everybodymaligns the Chevrolet Impala. It maybe named after a graceful antelope,but this is one dog that can’t hunt.

There is nothing that stands out aboutthis sedan so that I could recommendit against competition like the Ford

Taurus, Nissan Altima, Honda Accordor Toyota Camry.GM is making the right decision topull back on its sales to rental carfleets. There’s no way to entice buyersto purchase a car they’ve rented if theyhad such a bad experience with it. Bythe way, this isn’t a diatribe againstrental cars. I worked in the industryduring college and I owned a usedrental car. This is a diatribe against theChevy Impala.

The Impala I drove had the 3.5-literV-6 engine that is best described asadequate. Central Florida is basicallyflat so there are no hills to challengeit. However, I found it lacking whenpressed for quick acceleration. Thebest thing that could be said about theengine is it so uninspired me that Inever felt the urge to speed.

The engine delivers 211 horsepowerand 214-lb. ft. of torque. Chevy toutsits fuel economy and it’s good at 18mpg city and 29 mpg highway. In thatrespect, it’s the right vehicle for some-body on a business trip. They’re notgoing to waste a lot of time filling upat the pump.It doesn’t drive like a big car, but it cancomfortably seat five adults. Oneadvantage is its weight at 3,555 lbs. is

pretty svelte for its size. That couldcontribute to its good highwaymileage. Plus, it’s jelly bean designdoes cut through the wind.There are some pluses to the Impalafor 2008. XM radio comes standard.All but the base trim level (which is, ofcourse, the one I rented) comes withelectronic stability control. I’ve beatthis drum before, but it can’t be saidenough. Electronic stability control isthe best safety feature available whenit comes to accident avoidance.The Impala’s LT trim level has othersafety features available. The Impalaincludes features designed to enhancethe vehicle structure, includinglighter, more rigid front and rearbumper systems. Also, the Impala fea-tures a strengthened “safety cage” pas-senger compartment with the frontand rear doors designed for improvedenergy dissipation in the event of acrash.The Impala’s interior is really unin-spired. The model I drove came with

cloth seats. Granted, they were wel-come in the Florida heat but theylooked washed out on this particularImpala that had about 18,000 miles onit. Plus, in four days behind the wheelI never found a comfortable drivingposition.However, the more expensive trimlevels do have one feature lacking inthe rental car that should be included:flip-and-fold rear seats. The forward-flip rear seat cushions reveal a storagetub under the seat that can containspillage while transporting a variety ofitems. The tub also serves as a coveredstorage area beneath the seat withcushions down and offer convenientgrocery bag hooks when the cushionsare flipped forward. A generous pass-through from the trunk can be createdby flipping the seat bottoms forwardand the seat backs flat – an exclusivefeature in the midsize segment.The dashboard is well designed. Itscontrols are clean and easy to under-stand, which makes it the ideal vehicle

for rentals. You’ll never be confusedabout where everything is if you’re aroad warrior renting vehicles weekafter week.The Impala is priced at $21,650, butit’s not possible to recommend this carbased on price. I think the ChevyMalibu is a much better car and it canbe acquired for a comparable price.Overall, I’m glad I experienced thiscar as a rental. I normally have a carfor seven days and I was only behindthe wheel of the Impala for four days.
