CHARLTON — Selectmen are preparing to doTown Administrator Robin L. Craver’s annual eval-uation, with two selectmen voicing different initialopinions.
“I d have some concerns and I will address themin the evaluation,” said Selectmen Vice ChairmanKathleen Walker, but she refused to be more specif-ic.
Craver will get a good review from SelectmanPeter J. Boria.
“I think she does a good job. My evaluation reportwill say that,” he said.
That evaluation, however, will come after theApril 15 deadline Craver’s current contract callsfor.
Promising the process will start soon, Swensensaid a chaotic budget season had kept them toobusy for Craver’s review. Walker said she had someconcerns over not meeting the deadline.
“To some extent, I am concerned, but we have
had an extraordinary budget,” she said. “It madesense that we held off this year.”
Saying there are no penalties for not meeting thedeadline, Boria brushed off concerns.
“Interesting. I don’t know why we have not doneyet,” he said. “I guess I’m not concerned.”
Craver last week said she had no objection to thereview being done late.
Selectmen have also not yet created a new policythat would make the process more transparent tothe public, according to Swensen. There was a heat-ed dispute last year on whether the town shouldrelease the documents, after the Worcester CountyDistrict Attorney’s office found selectmen had vio-lated the Open Meeting Law by formulatingCraver’s evaluation in private and out of the publicview. The DA’s office told selectmen they shouldconduct future reviews in an open session.Eventually, after initially resisting the DA’s recom-mendation that they release the individual reviews

ost dogs like to chase cars,but they may want tothink twice before chas-ing this particular vehi-cle.
Dr. Carol Selavka of Charlton hasstarted Baystate Mobile VeterinaryServices, which provides animal own-ers with at-home care for their ill pets.Selavka started the service about amonth ago, driving a large van to thehomes of animals in need of care. Theservice is available to area residents;however, she is willing to travel to res-idents statewide.
“There was a need for it in thearea,” Selavka said in an interviewinside the van last Monday.
Selavka, and her technician, TanyaChristian, can perform just about anytype of care inside the van, including
surgery, euthanasia and x-rays. Thevan is not outfitted to hospitalize ananimal.
As any animal lover knows, bring-ing a pet to the a regular veterinariancan be stressful. The new service isintended to reduce the stress on boththe pet and owner, according toSelavka.
“It just seems much more person-al,” Selavka said. “It is just so muchlower stress for them.”
For example, Selavka x-rayed a doglast week that had impaled itself on abranch. Instead of the dog going to aregular vet, Selavka did the scan on adigital x-ray machine in the van.
“The dog is doing fine,” Selavkasaid.
So far, the service is working wellfor both the pet and owners, according

CHARLTON — The union for the town’shighway they failed to bargain with them onthe impact of the workers’ recent furlough.
The union is preparing to file another griev-ance about the hiring of a temporary worker.
In the former complaint to state labor offi-cials, the union is claiming the town refused tobargain the impact of the furlough or any pos-sible layoffs that may occur in the future,according to Highway Department UnionLocal 888 Steward Charlie McConnell.
“They violated the contract by not sittingdown and bargaining with us,” McConnellsaid. “They failed to bargain with us on thefurlough or the layoff. We never agreed to afurlough.”
On the recommendation of HighwaySuperintendent Gerry Foskett, selectmenapproved the furlough, which started July 6and ended July 20. Earlier this month,Selectmen Chairman Rick Swensen said themove was done to balance out a contractuallyscheduled raise (which would last for oneyear) for unionized highway workers, equal-ing about $15,000.
The second complaint, which McConnellsaid the union had yet to file, will allege thetown has hired a temporary heavy equipmentoperator to use a grader to pave town roads,even though the department currently has

CHARLTON — In a reversal of position,the state Ethics Commission has toldWater/Sewer Commissioner Paul Gagner hecan discuss and vote upon issues that couldaffect his Laundromat business.
“I certainly feel better myself. I didn’t feel Iwas doing anything wrong,” he said last weekafter receiving the letter.
In November 2007, the com-mission advised him to stopdiscussing, making motionsor voting on water ratechanges that could financial-ly affect the Laundromat heowns on City Depot Road.The agency said his partici-pation could be a conflict ofinterest. The advice was inresponse to a complaint theagency received, and during that time Gagnerowed more than $20,000 in overdue sewercharges at the business at the time.
Now, after further investigation, the com-mission’s letter backpedals on its prior posi-tion.
“We have completed that review, and wehave determined that our previous advice wasincorrect, and that you can participate in suchrate issues,” wrote Special Investigator Brian

Environmental firm files suit against townBY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL
STAFF WRITER
CHARLTON — The companyresponsible for capping the FlintRoad landfill has filed a lawsuitclaiming the town breached itscontract and failed to pay themfor work already completed.
Under a 2005 contract withTaunton-based BATGEnvironmental Inc, the companydeposits money into a town hold-ing account, and is only supposedto be repaid when the work iscompleted. Currently, the liner ison the town-owned site, but workis not totally complete. The suitnames Board of Health ChairmanNelson Burlingame and ViceChairman Willie Stevens asdefendants. Their group overseesthe project, along with other townofficials.
In the suit filed with the stateSuperior Court, BATG is claimingthe town has not paid them for$702,500 worth of work they claimis already completed. The suitclaims, “upon BATG’s completionof specific tasks … the Townwould release to BATG a specificamount for each completed task.”
The town, however, interpretsthe arrangement differently,according to Town AdministratorRobin L. Craver, an interpretationwith which she said the stateDepartment of EnvironmentalProtection (DEP) agrees.
“DEP clearly stated that the[account] was not for use byBATG but was a financial mecha-nism for the town to complete thelandfill [if BATG abandoned thesite],” she said Monday. “Thetown’s understanding of the[account], we believe, is in linewith what has been mandated bythe DEP.”
DEP Spokesman Ed Colettasaid the interpretation issue isbetween the town and BATG, butalso said the agency wants thetown to have enough money onhand to finish the project.
The agency is considering somesort of enforcement actionagainst BATG, according toColetta.
In the suit, BATG claims Craverhas refused, without justification,paying the firm back its money,after depositing $1 million into it.Craver did not directly respond to
that accusation Monday. The suitclaims Craver has repeatedly saidany payments would require herapproval, but said she “statedwould never be given.”
The contract’s scope of work,which BATG’s suit refers to in itscomplaint, explains how themoney should be repaid to BATG:“which the owner shall hold assecurity for the construction ofthe cap and for the completion ofall other commitments imposedon contractor by the terms of thiscontract. In the event that con-tractor fails for any reason tocomplete any of same … ownershall have the right to expend thefunds to complete and/or correctthe work.”
BATG’s complaint refers to aschedule detailing that paymentsbe released upon completion ofspecific tasks. That scheduledetails 18 tasks, which BATGclaims it is supposed to be repaidfor upon completion of each.However, the complaint alsorefers to a separate but similarschedule. BATG claims it hascompleted 12 of the 18 tasks, forwhich it is asking the money for.
Now, BATG is asking the courtfor an injunction stopping thetown from paying money out ofthe account, until further notice.It is also requesting an unspeci-fied amount in damages for costsincurred through working at thesite for more than the 26 months itwas originally estimated to havetaken.
The action shocked town offi-cials, who have battled withBATG for months to complete thework, after repeated disutes anddelays. The company has not per-formed work at the site for sometime.
“The lawsuit comes as a sur-prise,” said Selectmen ChairmanRick Swensen. “We want them tofinish the job they contracted todo.”
Burlingame defended the town.“I don’t understand it. I don’t
feel we breached any contract,”he said.
Burlingame shot back at thefirm, saying it still owed money toits subcontractors who haveworked at the site.
Now, each party is consideringtheir options. Burlingame said
“no, no, no. There is no room forsettlement. We are trying to pro-tect the town.”
Swensen said he wants to han-dle the suit in a way that wouldnot jeopardize the account money.While he did not say whether thetown had considered cancelingthe contract, Swensen said,“absolutely” the town could dothat.
The contract allows the town toterminate the contract under sev-eral conditions including if thefirm does not pays its subcon-tracts on time. The town can alsocancel the deal if BATG violateslaws, ordinances or governmentregulations.
BATG has, in the past, brokengovernment regulations. InJanuary 2008, the DEP orderedthe company to improve its ero-sion control efforts after inspec-tors noticed soil from the site run-ning off into the surroundingwetlands, which violated surfacewater quality standards.According to the DEP, the compa-ny agreed to pay $20,000 in penal-ties.
The incident is only one ofmany the town has had withBATG since the projects start.
Swensen said the company neversubmitted a work schedule lastmonth d detailing when the proj-ect would be done. BATGPresident Michael J. Donato toldthe Charlton Villager he had.
Last month, Donato promisedto complete the job, but said therainy weather had preventedwork from being done recently.
When asked if the companyhad abandoned work at the site,state DEP Spokesman Ed Colettasaid, “We have not confirmed thatat this point.”
BATG, has, however, aban-doned another site, out of town.
According to the DEP, theagency demanded $102,070 fromBATG in August 2007 “for its fail-ure to complete closure activitiesat the Millville Landfill [inMillville].”
Specifically, BATG never fin-ished the vegetative layer on thesite, and did not install sedimentbasis and storm water controls.
Donato could not be reached forcomment Monday.

NEWS BRIEF
Charlton Old Home Day addsNew England authors event
CHARLTON — On Labor Day weekend, the town will host its113th annual Charlton Old Home Day.
This year the festivities will stretch over three-days, with theinclusion of the New England Authors Event on Sunday, Sept. 6.The event will be held from 7-10 p.m. at the Dexter Hall in thenewly renovated Charlton Public Library, 40 Main St.
The New England Authors Event was the brainchild of MichaelPresutti, a local author in Charlton. “Often when I’m doing a booksigning, authors will ask me how I go about booking an event,”said Presutti. “Regardless if one is self-published or traditionallypublished, the author must do the bulk of the PR footwork. Withso many authors in New England, I thought it was time to createa venue where authors can meet the public and get the word outabout their books.”
Presutti’s idea came to life with the help of Brent Sellew,Charlton library director Cheryl Hansen, Phyllis Hanlon, and theFriends Of The Library. The event will feature entertainment anda Silent Auction where one can bid on numerous signed editionsfrom popular authors such as Clive Cussler and Sue Grafton.
“This is a perfect opportunity to meet and chat with the authorsand have your books signed,” said Presutti. Commemorativebrochures will be handed out to the first 500 in attendance.
For more information on the New England Authors Event, con-tact Michael Presutti at 508-728-4098 or via e-mail [email protected].

CHARLTON — The Hammond Hill RoadBridge will soon get a permanent fix, withoutmuch cost to the town.
Highway Superintendent Gerry Foskett toldSelectmen on Monday July 28, the repairswould take three weeks at the end of August torepair and that the street would need to beclosed off for that time. He said the permanentfix would only cost $2,000, with Mass Highwayfooting the remaining $100,000.
In June, a Mass Highway DepartmentInspection Team said the bridge had a “seri-ous deficiency.” Mass Highway then gave thebridge a temporary fix.
Foskett said last week, the temporary fix is“safe for now” and would not be a concern forabout another year if it’s not fixed. However,he said permanently fixing it now would keepthe bridge safe for quite some time.
“If we can repair it now, we are guaranteed20 years,” Foskett told the selectmen.
The repairs, Foskett said, would not consistof any contracts — just agreements. He saidMass Highway is trying to be “more proac-tive” about making repairs early on ratherthan waiting until they get worse andacknowledged Mass Highway’s cooperation.The other bridges on the state’s list to be fixedunder the program the bridge over LebanonBrook in Southbridge, the Woodstock RoadBridge also in Southbridge and the HaynesStreet Bridge over the Quinebaug River inSturbridge.
“I’ve never seen the state act as fast — it’samazing,” he said.
Many of the board members had concernsabout the street being closed off for threeweeks.
Foskett said he had already met withLaidlaw Bus Company to discuss differentroutes for buses when school starts.
Selectman Kathleen Walker said she wouldlike residents to be notified about the tempo-rary detour, — perhaps by flyers. SelectmanDavid Singer suggested notifying the resi-dents through a reverse 911-phone recordingas a solution.
“It’s an inconvenience of three weeks ver-sus a few months,” Selectmen Scott Brownsaid.
The board approved the repair under thecondition that Town Administrator RobinCraver work with the police to figure out thebest way to do the reverse 911 phone record-
ing.
ACCESSIBILITY
Selectmen last week also voted unanimous-ly to wait until more information is receivedbefore signing a contract for a study of TownHall for improving access.
Municipal Building Committee ChairmanCurtis Meskus presented a letter he preparedabout the $50,000,000 contract with the compa-ny Durland Van Voorhis to study the existingconditions of the George C. McKinstry IIIbuilding. Meskus explained that while wellintentioned, because of many modificationsand “lack of a clear and concise plan” made tothe Town Hall over the years, the building hasnot reached the requirements of accessibility.
In order to comply with state regulations,Meskus said, the grant proposal must to bewritten by a design professional. He said afterthe board advertised a designer service to do
the job, the committee conducted severalinterviews and settled on Durland VanVoorhis.
Walker expressed hesitation about goingforward with the situation. She said, from herexperience, she believes they can get a designplan for $10,000 to $15,000.
“It’s really a big problem. I have strongreservations,” she said.

Route 20 crash claims Spencer woman’s lifeBY WALTER BIRD JR.
STAFF WRITER
CHARLTON — Tragedymarred a sun-filled morning lastSaturday, when two vehicles col-lided on Route 20, claiming the lifeof a female passenger and seri-ously injured one driver.
A preliminary investigation byState Police indicated a 2009Volkswagon SUV collided with a2005 Ford Escape at the intersec-tion of Route 20 and RichardsonCorner Road around 10:25 a.m.
The victim, 70-year-old JoyceMitchell, was a passenger in theEscape, operated by 75-year-oldKarl Mitchell of Spencer. A StatePolice spokesman said he wasunsure whether the two were hus-band and wife.
Police identified Alena Y.Komissarova, 44, of Charlton asthe driver of the SUV. She was
taken by ambulance to UMassMedical Center with what policedescribed as minor injuries.
Mitchell was taken by helicop-ter to UMass Medical Center withserious injuries.
Joyce Mitchell was pronounceddead at the scene.
A nursing supervisor at UMassMedical late Saturday afternoonsaid Mitchell was in critical con-dition. Komissarova, she said,was treated and released.
The crash remained underinvestigation late Saturday withthe assistance of the State PoliceCollision Analysis andReconstruction Section and theSate Police Crime Scene ServicesSection. The Charlton police andfire departments, along withOxford police and fire personnel,responded to the scene.
THIRD FATALITY
The fatality was the third inseveral hours on a state highway.
Earlier Saturday, around 6:40a.m., an elderly couple was killedas both attempted to change a tireon their camper in the breakdownlane on Route 395 North inWebster, before Exit 1.
Robert G. Farner, 81, and ChloeK. Farner, 77, both of CottonwoodShores, Texas, were killed when,according to State Police a 2006Nissan Altima driven by 21-year-old Geoffrey K. Wahome ofLowell first struck the 2005 Dodgetruck with which the Farners hadbeen towing a camper. The Altimaalso struck both victims, beforerolling over and coming to a restin the breakdown lane.
The Farners were pronounceddead at the scene.
Police said Wahome was seri-ously injured and was taken byambulance to UMass MedicalCenter in Worcester.

Fix is in for town’s troubled bridge

The Hammond Hill Road bridge, seen here, has “serious” deficiencies, according to Mass Highway. Now,with the state footing much of the bill, it will be repaired.
BY GUS STEEVESNEWS STAFF WRITER
For years, former Oxfordresident Mark D’Agostinohas ridden the Pan-MassChallenge in memory of mul-tiple people who have battledcancer. He typically putstheir names on his bike andmuses on them while ridingthe two-day, nearly 190-mileroute.
Last weekend, however, hededicated his ride toSturbridge’s Nick Mercier —a young boy he hasn’t knownthat long who has becomelocal star for his battle withleukemia. A few months ago,the Sturbridge Police andFire departments organized abone marrow drive for theboy, whose father is a policesergeant in Sturbridge, andwere fortunate to find a donorwithin his own family.
“There’s a lot of cama-raderie while you’re out thereriding,” D’Agostino said.“Then you go past kids [likeNick] who are obviouslygoing through treatment forcancer and it’s really emo-tional.”
Although he hasn’t foughtthe illness himself,D’Agostino has “a lot of fami-ly members who succumbed”to it or fought it and lived.That keeps the seven-yearparticipant going, especiallywhen fundraising is a bitmore challenging in his pres-ent home of Syracuse, N.Y.,than here.
Justyne Walorz ofBrewster didn’t have a simi-lar issue raising her partici-pant’s fee of $4,200. She saidshe found people “very gener-ous.”
“I can’t believe the amountof phone calls, texts and e-mails I’m getting wishing mewell. It’s been kind of over-whelming,” she said. “I’msurprised how emotional thiswhole experience has been.”
This was her first PMCride. Walorz said she’d beenaware of the PMC for yearsand had previously donated,but finally got involved whena colleague was diagnosedwith “the same kind of braincancer as Ted Kennedy.”
“I just started riding [totrain for this] three monthsago when I got off my pro-crastination wagon to dothis,” she said. “I was moreworried raising the money”than finishing the ride.
D’Agostino, Walorz andaround 5,000 other peoplehopped on their bicycles veryearly Saturday morning, ped-aling down Route 20 into therising sun for the 30thChallenge. The route roamedalong some highways, butoften side streets, fromSturbridge to Bourne thatday, then resumed Sundayfrom Bourne toProvincetown.
That was the “original”route, but Jeff Sharpe, a riderand rider registration volun-teer, said the event has grown
so much in recent years itneeded a second route. About52 percent of riders started inSturbridge, while the reststarted in Wellesley, met thefirst in Bourne, and contin-ued to the end. Several short-er loops and side routes,including some specificallyfor children, provided optionsfor riders who weren’t up todoing the whole length.
“There’s unfortunately toomany reasons to do this,”Sharpe said. “I lost both ofmy parents to cancer, and Igot frustrated that I couldn’tdo anything about somethingthat big.”
Then he met a rider andsigned up. That was 15 yearsago, and he said he’s raised$100,000 for the Jimmy Fundsince then. Thirteen of thoseyears, he and his wife, Margo,also handled rider registra-tion, which has gotten solarge it requires 70 volunteersby itself.
Margo is not herself a rider.When the bikers took offSaturday morning, shepacked up stuff in Sturbridgefor transport to Bourne andProvincetown, where she setsup the finish line. At all threeplaces, and many in between,the Challenge relies on morethan 300 volunteers to runsmoothly. Many have beenparticipating for years, suchas the Narragansett RegionalHigh School cheerleaders,who donned purple T-shirtsand flashing lights and actedas a janitorial squad.
“We just like to help out sothe race goes good, eventhough we’re picking uptrash and getting dirty,” saidTabitha Salame, who noted
they also cheer the riders asthey depart. “It feels likeyou’re giving back to whatthey had to struggle with.”
Teammate Kayla Piasecznyagreed, saying simply,“Nobody should have to gothrough what they wentthrough.”
Peg Coles was on a very dif-ferent kind of team that hadthe same motivation. Insteadof riding or cheering, shecoordinated Dana Farber’sbone marrow donor recruit-ing effort, the first timethey’ve done that at theChallenge.
Coles said around 35,000people nationwide are diag-nosed with one of the 50 ill-nesses that a bone marrowtransplant could treat annual-ly, including leukemia, aplas-tic anemia, lymphoma andvarious blood disorders. Theproblem is that only around30 percent find a match with-in their families, forcing therest to seek help from theworld. Unfortunately, thechances of succeeding out-side the family are around 1in 20,000, largely because thedonor registry needs morepeople, she said.
“They could potentially besomeone’s miracle match andsave a life,” she said. “It’squite an opportunity.”
Down the hall from Coles’table during Friday evening’sopening ceremonies and theSturbridge Host Hotel, sever-al hundred people crowdedinto the largest conferenceroom, which had been turnedinto a multimedia stage forlive music, recorded video tes-timonies from riders, andcomments from participants
in person, including PMCfounder Billy Starr. Starr toldthe crowd the event hadraised around $275 million inits 30 years.
“I knew we’d get here, butthere’s a lot more to do,” hesaid.

Those who know meknow this: I’m a big timemovie buff. I love movies.
Atop the list — and it’s abig list — of my all-timefavorites is, without ques-tion, Steven Spielberg’s“JAWS.” It ranks onlyslightly ahead of FrancisFord Coppola’s “TheGodfather,” but it is aheadof it.
I’m not quite sure whatcaptured my fancy; maybeit’s because it was amongthe first bunch of films Isaw on the big screen (I saw
“JAWS” at the drive-in. I was probably around8 at the time.). The 1975 blockbuster hasenthralled me ever since.
I own it on VHS tape — original andanniversary editions. DVD? Of course. I figureI’ve seen the movie, oh, about a million times.My wife will testify to my rather useless abili-ty to pretty much quote the movie from startto finish. Oh, and I’ve read the book — twice.
Which is what made last Monday night socool.
My wife, as fate would have it, was drivingto a friend’s parents’ in Clinton recently. Adetour forced her to drive by The StrandTheater. There, on the marquee, she couldn’tbelieve her eyes: Monday was Classic MovieNight, and the following Monday’s feature wasgoing to be — you guessed it — “JAWS.”
It wasn’t until we drove past the theater thatnight to a parking lot around 6:30 or so thatshe let the cat out of the bag — or, in this case,the shark out of the cage. We were, she toldme, going to see “JAWS.”
Now, bear in mind, I’ve seen this film, like Isaid, a million times. I can point out littlethings like how in one shot it appears to bebroad daylight out at sea, and in the very next— same scene — it’s almost dark.
Doesn’t matter. It was like I was going forthe first time.
I later found out that the theater, which fea-tures a walk-up concession stand and trays atyour seat, sold out that night. I sat in my seatamazed as people continued to file into the the-ater before the movie started. Young, old andevery age in between; I saw women out togeth-er without their husbands, children who prob-ably should have been home getting ready forbed, boyfriends and girlfriends, husbands andwives and, of course, guys like me.
The fella sitting next to me fit that category.He didn’t mock me when I started tapping myfeet as the lights wend town and said, quiteloudly, “I’m so excited!” The first ominoustones of John Williams’ classic score filled thetheater and the guy leaned over and said tome, “Me, too.”
My wife and I were both in agreement afterthe film: It was better than ever. Shown theway it was mean to be, on reel to reel and withevery crackle, skip and grainy scene intact,this was “JAWS” the way it was 34 years ago.
And no matter how many times you’ve seenit, I don’t care who you are, when BenGardner’s head — eyeball dangling out of itsskull — pops out of the hull of his boat asHooper explores the wreckage underwater,you jump out of your seat and let out an audi-ble gasp.
Well, my wife did. So did most other folks.Me and the guy next to me, who I figured hadprobably seen the movie as many times as I,let out knowing chuckles.
It was, in a word, great.As we left the theater later, I listened to the
conversations of those we passed by, like thegroup of teens who were talking about howcool it would be to have a video game versionof the movie (I’ve played one, and it’s not at alllike the movie). Kids held onto tightly to theirparents’ hands.
Me? I kept thanking my wife profusely, overand over. Oh, sure, I’m in my 40s, but I’m stilla kid at heart. Who isn’t, really? Who doesn’tlove a good thrill? A good scare? And let’s faceit, Spielberg’s “JAWS” was among the best ofthe thrillers. Not much gore, no torture. Justgood, old-fashioned fear. It played on that deep-est of fears, the fear of something in the waterother than humans.
“JAWS” is why, to this day, I don’t go into theocean passed my waist unless I’m with abunch of other people, much like “Psycho” iswhy I still peer out from behind the showercurtain every time.
A lot has changed in this messed up, topsy-turvy world of ours. We may be headed towarda health care system that will bankrupt ourgrandkids, but for $5.50, if you look hardenough, you can still go back to when youwere a kid, when Social Security and terror-ism were oh so distant thoughts, when thingsat least seemed a whole lot simpler.
I say go out and pick yourself up a copy of“JAWS.” You’ll be glad you did. Oh, and as abonus, you’ll get a pretty dead-on history les-son on the USS Indianapolis from the movie’sdoomed shark hunter, Quint, one of the bestcharacters ever brought to screen.
Thirty-four years later and, oh yeah,“JAWS” still tops the list.
34 yearslater, moviestill has bite

Follow theexample ofPike plaintiffs
There are slightly more than a dozenfolks from our immediate area whohave signed onto the class action law-suit asking the MassachusettsTurnpike Authority to reimburse mil-lions of dollars to toll-payers. The suitalso seeks changes in how the tolls areused; specifically, the suit alleges themoney is being used to pay for the BigDig, and not for the cost of using theturnpike, according to JanSchlichtmann, the lawyer represent-ing the plaintiffs.
We can only say one thing: Keep upthe good fight!
The word “reform” has beenbandied about quite a bit here in theBay State. Gov. Deval Patrick, forexample, struck a tough pose duringthe budget process, saying he wouldnot sign off unless it included “realreform.” Well, it does include somereform, but the Mass Pike tolls are notpart of it. Critics argue there isn’tnearly enough reform included, butthat should come as no surprise in astate whose lawmakers have a demon-strated history of looking out for theirown best interests.
Whether the 1,500-plus plaintiffs inthis particular case are successfulremains to be seen. That so many folkshave decided there mad as hell andthey’re not going to take it anymore,however, is heartening.
A message — multiple messages,actually — has to be sent to BeaconHill. For too long, taxpayers have beencontent to sit back and merely gripeabout living in “Taxachusetts,” butwhen it comes time for action — realaction — we elect the same lawmak-ers. Even when we’re lied to, ignoredand whatever else they feel like doingat the moment — despite all that, wesend the same pols back year afteryear. Part of that is because therearen’t enough people willing to chal-lenge them for their seats.
The other part of the problem, how-ever, is that while it’s easy to moan andgroan and gripe about our lot in life,it’s much harder to actually stand upand fight. That takes effort.
The plaintiffs in this lawsuit are put-ting forth that effort. Would that somany others among us would follow intheir footsteps.
The compass of theheart points home
The bronze statue of famedSlovenian writer Preseren loomedover the city center the night before Ileft Ljubljana. A few bright lightsshone on the pink Catholic church,illuminating the square. I wonderedthen which images I would remem-ber most. Which pieces of Ljubljanawould I carry with me as I returnedhome?
The answer, I have found, is farmore complex than the photographsmy mother has printed out, smilingsnapshots of me with family mem-bers in a former Yugoslav country.
I remember my first real (non-trav-eling) day in Slovenia. I went to amuseum with my cousin and herhusband, and the woman there stopped at aphotograph to explain, in blunt English:“World War II. Americans bombed us.”
A month and a half ago, I stood frozen, notknowing how to react. Was this a fact, recitedas part of the fabric of this area’s history?Was it an accusation? A request for an apolo-gy?
I was just beginning to sort out my identi-ty within the context of my family’s her-itage. At first I thought I was doing that asthe daughter of an immigrant visiting hermother’s country for the first time. But now Irealize that as I was doing that, I was findingmy way through a new brand of patriotism— one in which you face a real and distinctchoice about what you choose in life. On theone hand, I had Slovenija, and all my rela-tives and wonderful people there. And on theother was America, where I’d grown up,where my friends and family are.
I moved through six weeks in Slovenijafeeling each side weighing on me. For thefirst time in my life since I was a young child,I was completely dependent on someone elseand couldn’t do much for myself: althoughmy cousins speak English and I am learningSlovenian, it wasn’t enough to get by on myown. I didn’t have a car or a driver’s license.Roads are small, narrow, and poorly marked— not to mention I didn’t know where any-thing was. There was no comfortable famil-iarly of landscape: small villages dot thecountryside, stout cement buildings, painteda myriad of bright rainbow colors, rise intothe forests in a way that looks completely for-eign. Buildings that showed slight signs ofage — chipped and unpainted cement fallingoff in big patches — didn’t look merely old,but triggered memories of photographs ofwar-torn areas of the former Yugoslavia I’dseen in newspapers here in the U.S. post-bombings.
I may have spent my whole life hearingSlovenian words around me, memorizing themost minute of details in my mother andgrandmother’s stories about growing upthere, but I was unprepared to immediatelymeet the challenges of daily life my firstweeks in Slovenia, and I depended wholly onmy family there in a way that made me feelmore helpless than I really was. I felt a debtof gratitude to them for taking care of thingsfor me and a sense of closeness with mycousins that can only come after sharingtight living quarters with someone for over amonth.
Yet everyday I was calling home, excitedlyreporting whom I’d seen, e-mailing photo-graphs of people my mother and grandmoth-er haven’t seen in more than 40 years. Iwould vary between having moments ofextreme homesickness — especially as I gotsick from drinking unpasteurized milk oreating too much meat that I wasn’t used to —and feeling like this was the greatest, mostexciting trip of my life. Even though I wasstudying in Slovenija’s capital, Ljubljana, bymyself, unlike many of my peers who werealso studying there, I got to go “home” atnight and on the weekends, which made mefeel like life in Slovenija, albeit different,could be a new and longer path on the road ofmy life.
Mid-way through the trip, however, some-thing changed. I was sitting on the bank ofthe Kolpa River with my cousins and a fewother family members. Someone was remi-niscing about another American cousin’svisit almost 25 years ago, one who my family
is quite close to.My mother’s cousin’s wife remem-
bered him saying something to theeffect of: “We might have moneyover there in America, but here —all this beautiful scenery — youhave America.”
I was confused, at first, by the lex-icon of this babble, but I’m guessingsomething got lost in translation asmy cousins hurried to express inEnglish what I’d just heard in rapidSlovenian.
My family members stared at mein anticipation: What would I say tothis lovely quote? Surely, I wouldagree, they seemed to be thinking.
But in my mind, I knew I had to becareful.
It’s so very easy to exaggerate — to insist,in a hyperbolic fashion, that something isalways true, or that the incident at handnever happens at home. I quickly realized,however, in the rush and excitement ofexclaiming the first thought that came intomy head earlier in my trip, that everyonetook me at my word, and remembered every-thing I’d said, too. And clearly, they’d remem-bered an obscure comment from ourAmerican cousin all those years ago.
It is hard to try to explain, after the fact,that exaggeration is a natural part of mymanner of speech, something friends laughat. Combined with big smiles and enthusias-tic greetings and exclamations, I quicklylearned that exaggerating is a part of theAmerican charm that not many Europeansquite understand.
So I knew I had to temper my comments,my response to this statement from 25 yearsago, as someone in the group said: “What doyou think? Do you agree?”
The two sides of my identity weighed onme, but not with equal force. It would havebeen easy to tell the relatives that yes, theSlovenian countryside was the most beauti-ful thing I’d ever seen. And it is beautiful.
But in that moment, a series of flashbacksshot through my mind: hiking down theGrand Canyon with my brother and sister afew years back. Palm trees swinging down inthe hot summer wind on Key Largo.Climbing up the side of the pedestrian path-way on the Golden Gate Bridge. Putting myfeet into the Pacific Ocean for the first timeoff the coast of San Diego. Driving throughthe desert on Route 66. Pressing my fingersup against the tall window panes of the TwinTowers as I looked down at the New YorkCity skyline when I was 12 years old.
Slovenija was beautiful, for sure, but thecomment — “We might have money overthere in America, but here — all this beauti-ful scenery — you have America” — was, tome, downright insulting to me as anAmerican. It was as if to say that all we hadwas money, no beautiful things at all. I won-dered if that cousin had ever been to any ofthose places I’d just thought of, or if he’d eversat down in a car and driven for 18 hoursstraight south — which will only take you asfar as the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville frommy parent’s house, we’ve found out. InEurope, that would take you across an entirecontinent, over a myriad of small countriessmaller than many of our states, or elsestraight into the sea.
I didn’t realize, until that moment, howvery American I actually am because rightthen, in my mind — and I was at first con-fused by this — there was no choice to bemade. From the moment I stepped foot ontoSlovenian soil, I was known as the“Americanka” — and as I sat along the KolpaRiver, I realized that swelling feeling insideof me was a mix of pride and homesickness.
I will carry pieces of Slovenija with me —the love of family, memories I’ve inherited,and even the undeniable beauty of theirnature I was questioned about — but thecompass of my heart is and always waspointing toward a little town on theBlackstone, halfway between Worcester andProvidence.

Highway union plans tofile second complaint
several workers who could perform the job.Selectmen, earlier this month, voted to tem-porarily hire Don Burlingame, at $25 per hour,to work for a total of $1,400. Burlingame wasscheduled to work for seven days starting July27.
In support of the union’s furlough and layoffclaim, McConnell is shedding more light onwhat led up to the furlough decision. After vot-ing against a proposal to accept a two-weekfurlough, the highway department sent TownAdministrator Robin L. Craver a letter askingto bargain the impact of any highway layoffsthat could occur in the future, according toMcConnell.
“There was no response [from the select-men],” he said.
The union, however, did try to find otherways to help the town’s budget problem,according to McConnell. After rejecting thetown’s proposed one-year wage freeze earlierthis year, the union proposed “furlough holi-days,” if the town would agree to not hire sea-sonal help, McConnell said. The HighwayDepartment occasionally hires seasonal work-ers for various jobs. The town, he said, was not
willing to give up that right, and a result thehighway union did not proceed any furtherwith the idea.
Eventually, Foskett recommended select-men place the whole department on furlough,which they accepted.
Swensen last week had little say about thematter except, “We denied their grievance.”
Foskett did not return calls to his office lastweek.
McConnell detailed how his union believesthe town is unfairly hiring the grader opera-tor.
McConnell, who said he is qualified to runthe grader, said he could do the job for 38 centsmore per hour on top of his current wage.Foskett and Highway Foreman JamesLawrence are also qualified to do the work,according to McConnell.
McConnell also said the temp worker wouldbe used to train somebody else to use the grad-er, since the usual operator is out on disability.Foskett, according to his recommendationmemo to selectmen, said the worker wouldactually operate the grader.
Foskett did not return messages left at hisoffice last week.

Vet wheels services right up to pets’ doorsto Christian.
“The concept is perfect andit is working well,” she said.
Since starting, Selavka saidshe done three calls daily, butwould like to boost that rate tosix. She serves many elderlyanimal owners, as well as theState Police’s K-9 unit. Manyfamilies have also requestedher services, she said,because it saves them timeduring their already hecticdays.
Selavka’s experience as aveterinarian for many yearsconvinced her the mobileservices would work. Selavkasaid she would often receivecalls at her old employer,Sturbridge VeterinaryHospital, from people who
were unable to bring theirpets to the facility.
A departure from workingin the confines of a brick andmortar veterinary facility,Selavka said working the vanpresents unusual circum-stances. For example, where-as an animal might be takento a closed room at a regularvet, an owner in Selavka’s vansees everything being done tothe animal. The face-to-facecommunication, however,eases the owners’ minds andreduces the chances of mal-practice occurring, accordingto Selavka.
“It’s beneficial now. It easesthe owner,” she said. “It’s justtaking a little getting usedto.”
Selavka also uses the in-person care to educate own-ers, she said. She often givesthem handouts she prints
from the wireless Internetsetup in the van.
While business is just start-ing out, Selavka is alreadyconsidering future expansionoptions. Selavka said shecould renew her Connecticutpractice license and expandher services to that state.More care vans and staff arealso a possibility, she said, aswell as other care equipment.”Those are possibilities downthe road,” she said.
Selavka has also had toadjust to working in the tightquarters, which includes sev-eral cages and a surgicaltable. Selavka ordered the vanbrand new after learningabout them at several profes-sional gatherings.
For Selavka, the venture isonly the latest chapter in heryears a veterinarian. Havinggrown up in East Hampton,Conn., Selavka worked 10years at Angell AnimalMedical Center inSpringfield, from 1997 until itclosed in 2007. She thenworked at SturbridgeVeterinary Hospital. Piningto work with animals, shegraduated from theUniversity of Pennsylvaniawith a veterinary medicaldoctor degree in 1995. She hasbeen a veterinarian techni-cian since 1995.
As she rolls down the roadto her next service call,Selavka will remember whyshe endeavored on the newservice.
“They” she said referringto animals, “are part of the
family.”For more information on

Ethics Commission:We were wrongMcWilliams in the July 21 missive.
State Ethics Commission spokesman DavidGiannotti could not confirm or deny any letteror investigation about the matter because it isconsidered a confidential issue.
One detail of the issue stands out, however.The original letter states Gagner could not dis-cuss water rate issues, which he said he is “inerror,” because the town lacks a public watersupply. Gagner now, said he interpreted theadvice to mean he could not participate in anymatters that effected his business. The morerecent letter states he is allowed to participatein rate issues in general.
Gagner raised the eyebrow last year whensomebody filed a complaint with the ethicscommission about him participating and vot-ing upon issues that could financially benefitthe Laundromat. Last July, he was one ofthree members who voted to eliminate a sewercapacity fee the town charged its users, andcharge them only for their usage. Prior to thatvote, he had advocated for lowering the rates.
LAWSUITGagner’s troubles are not over, however. He
has filed a lawsuit against the town claiming ithas unjustly enriched itself by unfairly charg-ing his business high sewer fees. Specifically,the suit claims he has been unfairly charged asewer capacity fee and a separate usage fee.Over time, Gagner claims he has been over-charged by $50,096. That figure includes$33,696 in charges and $16,400 privilege fee toconnect another business to the town sewersystem.
Up until last July, the Water/SewerCommission had charged sewer users who usea meter, including Gagner, a $4,000 capacity feeas well as for its usage. The commission thatmonth voted to eliminate the capacity fee andonly charge customers for their usage. A $30quarterly administrative fee was alsoimposed. Users without a meter are chargedunder a separate system.
Gagner, in an interview last week, said hissewer usage has not changed at his business.Gagner is asking for the money back from thetown, which has refused to issue him a refund,according to his complaint.
Gagner is also claiming he is losing revenuebecause of actions the town took against him.The town, he is claiming, forced him to shutdown the video games available for play in theLaundromat, which, he said, has cost him$15,360 in revenue. Gagner is also asking forthat cash back from the town. He is also claim-ing the town is stopping him from leasing thebuilding to additional business tenants, claim-ing they would exceed the 8,400 daily gallonsof sewer capacity the site is allotted. Gagnerin an interview last week, disputed thatnotion, saying the Laundromat only uses 1,100gallons daily and has plenty of capacity leftover for another business.
“That’s ludicrous thinking,” he said, addinghe has received inquires from people interest-ed in leasing space.
Gagner said he did not file the suit to raisethe overcharging issue, but “because I wasovercharged. It’s a simple thing. Nobody elsein town paid $4,000 before they even openedthe tap.”
Water/Sewer Commission Chairman JohnW. Elliot, raised his voice last week whenasked how his commission would handle thelawsuit.
“We’re not doing anything until the lawyerstell us what to do,” he said. “I’m not gettinginvolved in it unless they force me too.”
Gagner said “all options” for settlement areup for discussion. He also said it would costboth parities in legal fees to settle the matterin court.
In the meantime, Gagner has started to rec-tify his overdue charges. He is on a schedule topay off the $10,493.12 in charges assessedbefore the start of the current fiscal year,according to Tax Collector Lucia Blanchette.That figure was current as of Wednesday, July28.
Gagner is current on charges assessed dur-ing this fiscal year, according to Blanchette.
“I’m happy where things stand,” she said.At the end of the fiscal year, June 30, he
owed $17,947.97.Gagner tried settling the issue before it
landed in court, in meetings with the commis-sion, but to no avail.

Chair: Budget seasonhas kept us too busyeach board member wrote,selectmen released the docu-ments and promised theywould formulate a new policy.
“That will be the first step,”Swensen said, referring to thenew policy.
Boria hinted at not doing awritten evaluation at all, butmaking some sort of reviewinstead.
“I’m going to guess we arenot going to do it,” he said, ofthe written portion. “We willfind a different process tomake evaluation.”
After referencing the needto create the new policy, Boria
continued defending lastyear’s process, which hadselectmen compile writtencomments outside of a publicmeeting.
“The whole process is pub-lic. The whole thing is pub-lic,” he said.
Selectmen Scott D. Brownand David Singer could not bereached for comment lastweek.
Regardless of the marksshe receives, Craver will notreceive any sort of raise,because she signed a wagefree agreement earlier thisyear. She currently makes$103,743 annually.
Last year, Craver receivedhigh marks from each select-
men, but Walker, as she doesthis year, had concerns.
Walker gave Craver a“needs improvement” rank-ing in the category “main-tains harmonious workingrelationships with otheragencies of Town govern-ment, state and federal.”
Walker said her issue wasthat the library has continuedto lack a dedicated custodian.The facility shares a cleanerwith the Town Hall. Walkergave Craver high marks inother areas.

: Dr. Carol Selavka examines her dog, Splinter, last week in the veterinary van she drives to animals’ hometo care for them.
Is there a “generation gap” today? Insome ways, it’s possible.While many baby boomers are happyjust to understand the basics of
Facebook, “Millennials” are busy textingand twittering. And yet when it comes toinvesting, baby boomers (born between1946 and 1962), Generation X (1963–1981)and Millennials (1982–2001) may have a lotin common.
Specifically, to achieve their long-term goals, these groupsshould structure their investment portfolios to provide somegrowth potential. However, due to their age differences, theymay need to take different approaches in how they invest forgrowth. Let’s take a look at all three groups:
• Millennials — One of your biggest objectives may be to saveenough money for a down payment on a house. For this short-term goal, you may want an investment whose value won’tfluctuate too much. At the same time, don’t ignore the need tosave for retirement, even though it’s likely decades away.Contribute as much as you can afford to your 401(k) or otheremployer-sponsored plan, and if you still have money avail-able, consider opening an IRA. And you may want to fundthese accounts with an appropriate amount of growth-orient-ed investments, such as stocks or stock-based vehicles. (Keepin mind, though, that the value of these investments will fluc-tuate over time, sometimes significantly, and there’s no guar-antee you won’t lose any principal.) • Generation X —
Retirement is becoming more of a reality — soif you have been underutilizing your 401(k) andIRA, now may be a good time to ratchet up yourcontributions. And although you have less timeto make up for market drops than yourMillennial co-workers, you’re not outof time, either — so you still need toinvest for growth potential.Nonetheless, you may want to includea higher percentage of bonds and
other fixed-income vehicles in your portfolio, espe-cially if you’re an older Gen X’er.
• Baby Boomers — Retirement is coming at youpretty quickly. And it’s both a short-term and a long-term goal, because even though you may be leavingyour career in just a few years, you could spend twoor even three decades in retirement, starting a newcareer, going back to school or pursuing other inter-ests you haven’t had time to pursue. So you’re facedwith a paradox: On one hand, you don’t want to investtoo heavily in high-growth vehicles, because theseare the most risky — and a market downturn couldcause the value of your portfolio to drop just whenyou need to start tapping into your investments. Butyou can’t become too conservative and put all yourmoney in fixed-income vehicles, because over timethese investments may lose value to inflation —which means you’ll lose purchasing power. Considerinvesting in quality stocks, which have growth poten-tial, along with a good mix of bonds, Treasury bills,certificates of deposit and other vehicles that mayoffer the potential for both current income andpreservation of principal.
Your need for investment growth never really dis-appears. But at different stages of your life, you’llhave to balance this need against competing interests— so review your financial situation regularly, andmake the right moves at the right times.

Millennials, Gen X and Baby Boomers should invest for growth
Putting the brew-haha to rest“It would have to
be a truly extraordi-nary meeting to bebetter than no meet-ing at all!”
I can’t quite recallwho originated thisassessment of meet-ings between andamong humanbeings, but I whole-heartedly concur.
Yet there havebeen many trulyextraordinary meet-ings throughout thecourse of history,denoting truly great happenings and deci-sions. The Constitutional Convention inPhiladelphia on that stiflingly hot summer solong ago comes to mind; so does the meetingbetween Hitler and Chamberlain thatachieved a meaningful “peace in our time”(for about five seconds). What about the famedYalta Conference during WWII with FDR,Churchill and Stalin (I’ve seen this one both inphotograph and wax figure form, the latter atone of Madame Toussaud’s museums)? Whatabout the lengthy and laborious Paris PeaceTalks during the Vietnam War? What aboutthe meeting that President Jimmy Carter
arranged between Egyptian and Israeli lead-ers to bring peace to the Middle East? (Andjust exactly where, today, is that peace?)
And now we have the greatest meeting ofthem all —”Forty Minutes Under theMagnolia Tree,” also known as the “beer sum-mit heard ‘round the world.” This one tookplace Thursday, July 30 at the White Houseand serves as an inspiration for us all, an occa-sion for real hope, a gathering of great mindsand sincere souls bringing America togetherto elevate post-partisan politics and race rela-tions in America to celestial levels.
The “final solution” to the Cambridgebrouhaha that saw a Harvard professor arrest-ed on his own front porch and PresidentObama commenting recklessly on the casebefore he knew the full story (or that audiotapes of the arrest existed), the beer summitwas offered as a fence-mending party, anopportunity for cooler heads (of beer?) to pre-vail, for race relations to find common groundon the grounds around the White House.Which, perhaps, is why Vice President JoeBiden ended up at the affair.
Not originally invited to the historic ses-sion, he nevertheless was allowed to crash it.“C’mon Barack; I’m the VP, I’m s’posed toknow what’s goin’ on. Besides, I’ve got nothingimportant on my agenda and I’m all caught upon offering dumb sound bites about the econo-
my and stuff. And what if you were to get sick?I need to know how to run one of these impor-tant meetings. What if I go on to become pres-ident after you? Can I come to this one? Can I,huh — can I??”
President Obama saw it not as his 127thnewsworthy public appearance in 27 minutesof public service but as a “teaching moment”for all Americans. But wait a minute, who wasteaching whom, and about what, and to whatend? They couldn’t even decide on one beer atthe summit. Each participant had a distinct(and well-recorded) different brand of brew.Professor Henry Gates had a Sam Adams,President Obama a Bud Light, Sgt. Crowleydrank a Canadian something or other, and VPBiden sipped on a non-alcoholic Heineken.Didn’t it used to be that if you accepted aninvitation to a party you drank what the hostsupplied? But no, today, we’re all about multi-culturalism, diversity, the avoidance of hurtfeelings, and the proliferation of ribbons “forparticipation.”
The important thing to remember aboutthis exercise in meaningless meetings is thatno apologies were accepted — or even offered— and all the mending that was done was inrepairing the momentary rift in the presi-dent’s cloak of infallibility. If he had inadver-tently offended anyone a week earlier bydeclaring police actions stupid, he had now
shown that he was willing to mask such TDC(thinly disguised contempt) with a solidveneer of sociability. Heck, if he’s willing tosit down with a cop, a professor and the VicePresident, he is indeed the right man to runGeneral Motors, to make all of America’shealth care plans (including making end-of-life decisions for all of us), and to green upeverything in America except its economy.
One other thing to remember is that Sgt.Crowley came away from the meeting underthe magnolias convinced it was not his placeto “tell the President that he misspoke.”Wrong! It was exactly his place (and ourplace). The president, whether he acknowl-edges or understands it or not, works for US —not the other way around. Other folks mayindeed work at the pleasure of the President,but he, in turn, works for America. “We thepeople” put him into office, and it wasn’t nec-essarily to help him change everything aboutAmerica, or to reduce it to his vision of a pro-gressive/socialist enclave in the course offour or eight years.
Perhaps the beer summit of July 2009 didprovide a teaching moment. Let’s hope it’s not,as singer/songwriter Tom Paxton put it sowell some 40 years ago, “a lesson too late forthe learning.”

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAYSTAFF WRITER
There was no real cause for alarm in thefleet of emergency service vehicles floodingthe Charlton Street School parking lot inSouthbridge Thursday, July 30.
In fact, the drill to which personnel fromSouthbridge, Charlton, Dudley, Auburn andSturbridge responded was a practice exerciseto assess the preparedness of responders andemergency services at Harrington MemorialHospital.
Firefighter Paul Nault explained, “The hos-pital has to do two a year to keep up with theJCAHO [Joint Commission on Accreditationof Healthcare Organizations]
standards.”Thursday’s drill, conducted on the soccer
field behind the Charlton Street School, wasclassified as an MCI: mass casualty incident.
The scenario the fire departments wereresponding to was, “a campfire that explod-ed,” according to Fire Chief Richard Ciesla.
Ciesla said that while the drill was specifi-cally set up for the hospital staff, events likethis are great for the responders to brush upon their tactics too.
“We get to run through our triage,” he said,explaining that this exercise was the first timehis department had utilized this specificmethod of labeling while triaging victims asan emergency site.
Overall, Ciesla said drills give crews achance to practice, “how to handle chaos in anorganized environment.”
Once on scene, first responders made an ini-tial sweep of the area, interviewing each ofthe 10 or so victims, collecting basic informa-tion like age, gender and possible injuries. Asecond wave of emergency personnel fol-lowed, surveying the triage tags left on eachvictim during that first sweep.
Victims were categorized by the severity oftheir injuries with the most critical casesbeing moved, in order, to an area just insidethe gates of the field where they could betransported to the ambulances with the mostease.
Victims that were still ambulatory wereinstructed to sit on the ground and wait fortreatment, while those unable to walk hadtheir necks stabilized and were moved viastretchers to gurneys at the edge of the field.
While first aid was rendered to the victimsin the field, additional firefighters wentthrough the motions of putting out the simu-lated fire as well.
Deputy Fire Chief Mark DiFronzo said thedrill scenario was based an on actual incident.
“We actually took the story from the head-lines in the news,” DiFronzo said. “This was areal deal.”
Following the first portion of the drill,which took approximately an hour to clear thefield of all the victims, Ciesla said, “I think wedid very well.”
“Hopefully it never happens,” he added.At Harrington, all of the victims were
admitted and brought to different areas fortreatment, in accordance with the descriptionof their injuries on their tags.
CEO of Harrington, Edward Moore, saidwith the recent renovations to the facility, itwas good to have a practice exercise to makesure all of their policies and procedures stilljive with their new setup.
“We learned some things,” Moore said. “Butwe mobilized very well.”
Moore said drills such as this one are essen-tial, “to make sure we’re ready for the commu-nity need.”
Linda Hart, director of education and emer-gency preparedness coordinator for the hospi-tal, agreed with Moore.
“I believe that all our staff were very pre-pared with their roles and that’s the main rea-son we do drills like these,” Hart said, thank-ing the volunteers who played the victims, andTri-Epic Regional Emergency PlanningCommittee, which she said helped sponsor thedrill.
One of the biggest benefits, Hart said, toevents like the one held last week, is that “itfosters communication between the hospitaland the fire departments and police depart-ments.”
Region II Public Health EmergencyPreparedness Coordinator Kerry Clark was atHarrington on Thursday as well, to help witha critique of the drill afterward.
“The bottom line: the staff here was veryprofessional,” said Clark, who indicated thatwhile the drill went well, there were somesmall communication and signage issues thatshould be addressed for further proficiency.
According to Nelson Orengo, a Community
Emergency Response Team (CERT) memberthat participated as a burn victim, said theexercise has given him full faith in the capabil-ities of local emergency and hospital workers.
“I just had fun, I thought it was pretty cool,”Orengo said after the drill. “I can be confidentin the in the Southbridge Fire Departmentand the hospital to take care of me in a situa-tion, if it were real.”

Hospital showcases Women’s Center BY GUS STEEVES
STAFF WRITER
To Anne Mathieu, the technologyat the centerpiece of the newly reno-vated Harrington MemorialHospital Women’s Center inSouthbridge is light years betterthan the way things were.
She’s seen most of that evolution,having been a mammographer for 45years.
“We didn’t have equipment thatwas specifically designed for mam-mograms,” she said. “we had to useregular X-rays, but they come in twotypes — long and short rays — andyou don’t need long rays to look atbreast tissue. We had to use industri-al X-ray films that needed exposuresof 12 seconds, so if the patient hadcancer, we’d already started treat-
ment [by just scanning it].”If the patient didn’t have the dis-
ease, repeated mammograms withsuch long exposures sometimescaused it, she added. In those days, ifdoctors found a lump, it had oftenbeen there for years and the cancerhad already metastatized to otherparts of the body.
Today, however, things likeHarrington’s digital mammographyand regular testing are catchingpotential cancers much earlier.Pointing to one of her computerscreens showing a breast scan,Mathieu said, “Once we find micro-calcification, that’s the beginning ofcancer, but it could take seven yearsfor that to develop into a lump.”
That potential is somethingWebster’s Passion Chilimba keeps
close watch on, since her family hasa cancer history. Doctors routinelyrecommend women get their firstmammogram between ages 35 and40, plus one annually after 40, andChilimba said she started early.
“I’m very concerned whatever mymom has, I might end up getting,”she said. “I try to keep on top ofthings. They’re very good here, verythorough.”
Joan Menard agreed, saying sheused to drive all the way to Boston toget annual tests, but won’t do thatanymore.
Such advances and a lot of lesstechnical changes were on displayThursday as part of an open housefor the new first-floor center. Dozensof people, not surprisingly mostlywomen, toured the suite to see theultrasound and mammographymachines and uro-gynecologyrooms while asking questions.Among other things, patients willfind the bright area privacy protect-ing, with interconnected dressingand testing rooms so they don’t haveto walk down hallways in johnnies.
“It’s a different atmosphere, a lit-tle less busy and more calming,”said desk clerk Michelle Anderson.“As always with a new facility, peo-ple are more impressed and pleas-ant. … They did a good job with thecolors; it’s a comfortable place.”
Dr. Sam Zylstra agreed, noting hisuro-gynecology services used to be“kind of crammed into one space”on the fourth floor, where his adultpatients had to share waiting spacewith pediatric patients.“Comfortable” also applies to theprocedures themselves, he added,noting treatments that used torequire days of hospitalization andsurgeries lasting four hours are now“much simpler and take a fraction of
the time.” His patients routinelyleave the same day or next morning,he said.
Zylstra said he started at UMassin 1990, but now splits his timebetween Harrington and MilfordRegional Medical Center in partbecause he finds the smaller hospi-tals more flexible.
“These kinds of places are on thecutting-edge of equipment,” he said.“There are certain hoops you haveto jump through in university hospi-tals … but the newest trials and pro-cedures are often in clinical settingslike Harrington.”
He noted the hospital is one of 30centers nationwide, and the only
one in New England, participatingin a five-year trial of the efficacy ofdrugs vs. a new “interstem” methodof treating incontinence. To Zylstra,the latter seems better at least short-term, being “80 to 90 percent effec-tive” while many patients on med-ication end up having to add drugsfor effect or give them up entirelybecause of side effects.
Surgery Nurse Manager LindaFortin said Zylstra’s department hasexisted for years, but she often hearspeople say they have no idea it’shere. To her, things are “leaps andbounds” ahead of the past in termsof women’s care overall.

SPORTSPirates’ surge leads to Connie Mack title
BY NICK ETHIERSPORTS STAFF WRITER
STURBRIDGE — The OxfordLittle Leaguers have started makinga lot of noise in Sturbridge duringthe Connie Mack Tournament, win-ning two titles in as many years.
After dispatching Charlton in thechampionship game in 2008, thisyear’s Oxford bunch rallied from a 4-1 deficit to score the last six runs ofthe contest, beating Quaboag 7-4,Thursday evening, July 30.
Quaboag, the second seed, heldleads of 1-0 and 4-1, but couldn’t holdback the banging bunch fromOxford.
Oxford, which was seeded at thetop, finished at a perfect 7-0 in thetournament.
“I was surprised because we knewthe competition would be very
good,” Oxford manager Joe LeClairsaid of running the table with anunblemished record. “This is a greattournament, and I’m glad the kidshad a great time.”
To make the finals, Oxford with-stood a scare from Sturbridge 2 inthe semifinals, a team full of 11-year-olds in a 12-year-old tournament.Sturbridge led by two in the sixthinning, but Oxford tied it up andwalked off with a victory in the sev-enth inning.
In the finals, Quaboag jumped onOxford starter James Sheehan early,as leadoff hitter Zack Edwards belt-ed a home run to center, giving histeam a lead to work with.
After Oxford got a run of its ownin the bottom half on a Nick BatesRBI single, Quaboag regained thelead in the second.
Austin Dugay, who was the start-ing pitcher for Quaboag, hit a laserto left center over the fence, makingit a 2-1 game.
Both pitchers settled down for abit until the Quaboag bats camealive again in the top of the fourthinning. Trevor Robert began thingswith a solo shot to center, and thenSpencer Duncan – who was awardedthe sportsmanship award of theelimination round - created his ownoffense by drawing a walk. Duncanthen stole second base, and tookthird on the bad throw that went tothe outfield. Then, with Duncanleading off third base, anothererrant throw allowed him to trothome, giving Quaboag a 4-1 lead.
Brandon Kelley replaced Sheehan(3 1/3 innings, 4 runs, 4 hits, 5 strike-outs, 2 walks) on the mound forOxford, and he was able to get out ofthe fourth inning without allowingany more runs to cross.
“We had to rally the troops,”LeClair said.
And the rally took place in thehome half of the fourth when Dugayleft the mound, and Kelley helpedhis own cause with a three-runbomb to centerfield, one pitch afterfouling off a ball he thought hecould drive.
“He was actually a pretty fastpitcher so I was thinking ‘take himto left field,’” Kelley said of TrevorRobert on the mound and sendingthe ball the other way. But Robert’sfastball was down the plate, andKelley connected with the shot.
“I hit certain pitches differently,”Kelley explained. “That’s one of the
ones I can really hit.”“When Brandon (Kelley) hit the
three-run homer it just put the lifeback up again,” LeClair added.
Oxford was able to score two moreruns in the frame when AndrewCatacchio reached on a two-baseerror and scored on Matt LeClair’sdouble. Then Danny Caissie, whomissed the quarterfinal and semifi-nal contests, hit an RBI single up themiddle, putting Oxford up two runs,6-4.
“We lost intensity,” QuaboagManager Eric Proulx said of losingthe lead. “We didn’t have the sameintensity as we did when we wereup. They took the wind out of oursails.”
After Kelley retired the side in thefifth inning, Oxford picked up aninsurance run thanks to the bat ofCam Halloran.
Halloran hit a one out blast overthe center field fence, giving Oxforda three-run cushion to work with.
“Cam’s first home run ever, on thebig field too,” LeClair said. “Thattook a little bit of the pressure off,gave us a little insurance.”
But Kelley, who was named theMost Valuable Player of the elimina-tion round, didn’t need insurance,as he struck out the side in betweenan infield error in the sixth inning.
“He’s got great command of thestrike zone,” LeClair said of hisrelief pitcher, who didn’t allow a hitand struck out five in his 2-2/3innings of work.
Although they didn’t go all theway, Proulx offered positive words ofadvice to the Quaboag team.
“It feels good to make the champi-onship, I just told them to shake itoff,” he said. “They played a greattournament.”
But once again the Connie Macktournament belongs to Oxford, ateam that hit, fielded, and pitchedgreat all week long.
“We were confident coming intothis tournament,” Kelley said. “It’s agood way to celebrate summer andthe end of baseball. Plus you’regoing up to the bigger field, so it’s agood time to hit a home run.”
And the home run he hit was adetermining factor in giving Oxfordanother Connie Mack title.

Sturbridge 2 holds off Charlton at Connie MackBY RYAN PELLETIER
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
STURBRIDGE — “Someone hit one over thefence, I’m begging you,” were the words heardfrom the mouth of the Sturbridge 2 LittleLeague coach from the dugout at the top of thefourth-inning of the Connie Mack tourna-ment contest Tuesday, July 28.
At this time, Brandon Majica stepped up tothe plate. He took a strike from Charlton pitch-er DJ Demerit. Demerit let the next pitch flyand — crack! Majica got a piece of it and sentthe ball rocketing over the right field fence,making it seem easy.
This answer to the coach’s prayer was thesecond run to cross the plate for theSturbridge 2 team here in the first round ofthe annual Connie Mac tournament held eachsummer in Sturbridge.
Not only did this single run shot make thedifference in the 3-2 win for Sturbridge, it wasalso the one and only home run of the game.
This game was the epitome of a nail biter.Teams traded turns getting on base time aftertime, getting themselves in scoring position,only to in turn trading defending each otherfrom capitalizing on their scoring opportuni-ties.
This ping-pong like progression started offin the second inning, where both teams man-aged to get the bases loaded. Ironicallyenough, it both had much to do with back-to-back base on balls for both teams to get tworunners on for each of them.
The difference was a sacrifice hopper by JJHowland of Sturbridge that was able to drivepitcher Erik Olson in for a run. However theCharlton ace Demerit (5K, 3 BB, 5 1/3 inningspitched) was able to end the half of the inningwith his third strikeout of the game.
Charlton came back the same inning toanswer, loading the bases with two outs,thanks to a hopping ball to left off the firstpitch thrown to Demerit.
With two outs there was an unfortunatepassed ball between the pitcher and catcher,which allowed Demerit to make it home withPeter Boyd at the plate.
However, with this unfortunate event, Olsonclearly shut out the fear of what had justoccurred and retired the side, leaving the bat-ter striking out looking.
A hop shot to center field by Sturbridge’s RJLebrun was able to drive a second run home inthe fourth inning to make the score 3-1.
However, Charlton also managed to sendone in, where once again Demerit was able tosend another hopper to the outfield, this time
to center, though he was thrown out at firstthis sacrifice hit sparked a series of two con-secutive overthrow errors allowing for MarkBarton to make it across home plate for theteams second run.
Charlton was unable to overcomeSturbridge by the end of the outing however,as a combination of well executed pitchingand fielding enabled Sturbridge to defend itsone-run lead for a close, and nerve racking
win.“These kids know how to win. Two years
ago they were the champions in theShrewsbury Tournament, a lot of them arecarryovers. They’ve been there, they’ve doneit, you ask them to do something and they do itfor you. There’s a lot of experience here,” saidSturbridge head coach Olson.

(GUEST FEATURE BY WILLIAM MATHENY)
During the infamous late 1960s, there was aband in the Kyoto–Osaka area of Japan calledthe Folk Crusaders.
The band recorded a tune called“Imjin–gawa” and just before the scheduledrelease date in February ‘68, the ToshibaCompany deemed the song too controversial.Sales and broadcast of the song were banned— a tragedy for the musicians. But the banultimately turned the song into a legend.
“Imjin–gawa” (“Imjin River”) is a song andalso a river that flows from North Koreaacross the DMZ into South Korea. Accordingto an article by Philip Brasor in the JapanTimes, Toshiba never explained the decision.Brasor mentioned a couple of theories thatseem plausible, but a glance at the lyric makesyou wonder what the fuss was about:
“Imjin River”Imjin River – clear water flows stronglyFlocks of water birds fly to and froThoughts of our southern homeland are
distantImjin River – clear water grandly flowsFrom the Northern land to the Southern
skiesBirds – messengers of freedom – flyWho divided the homeland in two?Who divided the homeland?Imjin River – rainbow, hang in the distant
skyRiver, carry my feeling I will never forget my homelandImjin River – clear water strongly flows.”Compared to other “protest” songs, the
lyrics seem mild. It’s a simple yet eloquentlament about the partition of the Koreanpeninsula.
I first heard about the tune at a school in theNagoya area where I work as an English teach-ing assistant. A social studies teacher wasintroducing students to the song and I over-heard him talking about it in the teacher’sroom. He subsequently loaned me the FolkCrusader CD.
What I heard was a delicate arrangement,very much in the style of 1960s folk. Because Ihad lived in Japan for 10 years when I encoun-tered the song, I was able to decode theJapanese lyric and immediately started won-dering why the tune had been banned. Thepassion in the singers’ voices and eloquentsimplicity of the song’s message camethrough as plain as day. What was so contro-versial?
Another explanation for the ban was pre-sented in an NHK-TV program. North Koreaninterests apparently insisted that Toshiba
publicize the fact that the composers of theoriginal version were North Korean. At thetime, Japan had no diplomatic relations withNorth Korea and the people at Toshiba per-haps felt that the matter was more troublethan it was worth.
Does “Imjin–gawa” have any relevance in2009? I think it does because the song dealswith the partition of the Korean Peninsula —a situation that is still with us. It seems ashame that the song isn’t better known andthat’s doubly true when you recall the openingceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games:Athletes from North and South Korea heldhands as they paraded into the stadium, say-ing symbolically that the partition of theKorean Peninsula is over. It’s the politicianswho are behind the curve and have yet tomake it happen.
Note from Mark Renburke: Don’t missWilliam Matheny’s local performance of“Imjin–gawa” plus classic American, Irish,and original songs. I’ll be performing withWilliam Saturday, Aug. 8, 6-8 pm on the deck atStoggy Hollow in Woodstock, Conn. Or join uslater that same night from 9:30 pm at The GoldEagle in Dayville.

Sturbridge Federated Church publishes new cookbookSALES BEING AUG. 6 AS PART OF ANNUAL ANTIQUE AUCTION
BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAYNEWS STAFF WRITER
STURBRIDGE — The possibilities of whatcan come from a properly equipped kitchenare endless.
For a taste of traditional recipes with a mod-ern twist, check out the Sturbridge FederatedChurch’s latest publication, “From SturbridgeKitchens II.”
The book, which will be available to the pub-lic on Thursday, Aug. 6, is a revamped versionof the church’s original culinary guide, “FromSturbridge Kitchens.”
“The original cookbook that was develop bythe women’s club of the church was published51 years ago,” explained Linda Simpson, co-chair of the cookbook committee.
According to Susan Schwartz who wrote thepreface for the new book, “From SturbridgeKitchens,” sold more than 123,000 copies andwas reprinted 15 times over 50 years.
“Its reach extended beyond the FederatedChurch,” Schwartz said. “This was a fundrais-er initially to support the needs of thechurch.”
Sales of the cookbook, which features morethan 400 recipes — both old and new — willalso go toward supporting the church.
“It will support local and worldwide missionprojects as well as church projects,” saidSimpson.
For a donation of $12, patrons may obtain acopy of the cookbook at Sturbridge’s Concerton the Common on Thursday, Aug. 6 at 6:30p.m.
The book will also be available at thechurch’s annual antique auction on Saturday,Aug. 8, beginning at 10 a.m.
“We’re the longest running church auctionin the nation,” Schwartz said. This year willmark the 60th consecutive auction held by thechurch.
Auction items can be viewed at the Concerton the Common where the cookbook willmake its debut and “the choir from the churchwill be performing and different soloists oflocal talent will perform.”
Simpson said that while it was certainly alabor of love, putting the book together wasmost certainly a labor.
The longest step in the process — almost ayear — Simpson said, was to compile all therecipes that would be included.
“We basically solicited members of the con-gregation and their friends, primarily fromthe local area,” Simpson said.
Submissions came from not only Sturbridgeresidents, but also from folks in Charlton,Southbridge, Dudley, Webster, Brimfield, theBrookfields and beyond.
Some recipes were offered by local restau-rants as well, including Old SturbridgeVillage, the Ox Head Tavern, the PublickHouse, Cedar Street restaurant and more.
“It really is, we think, quite an excellent
book,” Schwartz said.Some of her own recipes made the final cut
for the book, like Sturbridge Chicken, whichshe created in honor of a visit from the RotaryClub’s Governor of the Central District ofMassachusetts.
Peace potato pie is another concoctionSchwartz created. That one was dedicated to afriend of hers who dedicated her life to peacework in Israel, Palestine and different parts ofAsia.
Simpson also submitted a few dishes for thebook.
“One is out family favorite called onioncasserole,” she said, “and another would be arecipe for Indian pudding made in a crockpot.”
Simpson explained that Indian pudding is“a very, very old recipe that was used probably
hundreds of years ago that’s made with cornmeal, molasses and milk.”
Overall, Simpson said the cookbook, “cer-tainly is a value for the $12 that’s beingcharged for it.”
Schwartz said the book, which opens flat foreasy readability on a countertop, makes agreat gift for cooks and history buffs alike.
“It weaves the history of the church and ofthe town,” she said.

News staff writer Christopher Tanguay maybe reached at (508) 909-4132, or by e-mail at [email protected].
The Sturbridge Federated Church will release a newcookbook called “From Sturbridge Kitchens II,” onAug. 6. The cookbook is a take on the original “FromSturbridge Kitchens,” published by the church morethan 50 years ago.

Preventing Breast Cancer From RecurringBY MILAYNA SUBAR, M.D.
(NAPS)
Many women have discovered that a conver-sation with their doctors can help them keepbreast cancer at bay.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diag-nosed form of cancer among women in theU.S. and the second-leading cause of cancerdeaths. Over 190,000 new cases are expected tobe diagnosed this year alone. The incidence ofbreast cancer usually increases with age andoccurs primarily in women who are over 50years old. As treatment of the disease hasimproved, so too have its survival rates, with88 percent of women with breast cancer nowsurviving at least five years.
Once a breast cancer has been surgicallyremoved, preventing a recurrence of the dis-ease is key to a woman’s survival. For manywomen who have estrogen receptor–positivebreast cancer, hormone therapy is used toblock the effects of estrogen and preventrecurrence of cancer. One of the most widelyused hormone treatments is tamoxifen, a drugthat reduces the risk of breast cancer recur-rence by up to 50 percent. Close to 500,000American women take tamoxifen, with 80,000new patients starting the treatment each year.
Women on tamoxifen may often take othermedications as well. One class of drugs thathas drawn the attention of breast cancerresearchers is the selective serotonin reup-take inhibitors (SSRIs), a group of antidepres-sant drugs such as Prozac (fluoxetine), Paxil(paroxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), Celexa (citalo-pram) and Lexapro (escitalopram). One of themost common side effects associated withtamoxifen is menopausal symptoms, whichinclude hot flashes. Antidepressants are usedto treat hot flashes as well as depression. As aresult, they are commonly prescribed together
with tamoxifen.There can be a major problem, however,
with taking these drugs together. According tonew research by the Indiana UniversitySchool of Medicine and Medco HealthSolutions, Inc., the risk of breast cancer recur-rence doubled in women taking some popularSSRIs while being treated with tamoxifen. Thethree SSRIs that were reported in associationwith this increase in risk are Prozac, Paxiland Zoloft.
Researchers have attributed the effect ofthese SSRIs on tamoxifen to their inhibitoryeffect on an enzyme known as CYP2D6. Thisenzyme is needed to produce the active form oftamoxifen called endoxifen. When thisenzyme is prevented from working properlyby the inhibitory SSRIs, less endoxifen is pro-duced and tamoxifen becomes less effective atpreventing breast cancer. The FDA is current-ly considering adding a warning label totamoxifen cautioning against the combina-tion with CYP2D6-inhibiting medications.
Women who are on tamoxifen and taking anSSRI should not stop taking either medicationon their own but should speak with their doc-tor about alternative treatments. There areseveral SSRIs that don’t cause this problem,including Celexa, Lexapro and Luvox (fluvox-amine), as well as non-SSRI antidepressantsthat are also effective medications. In additionto SSRIs, there are other, less commonly pre-scribed drugs that have the same effect ontamoxifen, so it’s important that women onthe breast cancer drug speak with their doc-tors about all the medications they are taking.

Getting The Most Out Of Workplace Insurance Plans(NAPS)
Odds are, you know if yourworkplace provides a healthinsurance plan, but did youknow that many employersoffer other types of insur-ance as well?
Workplace insuranceplans— such as life insur-ance, disability insuranceand others—can help protectyou from the unexpected.Many employers offer thechance to purchase coverageat lower rates through payrolldeductions. Some let youadjust coverages to fit yourchanging needs. Insuranceexperts at CIGNA recom-mend you think about thisduring your plan’s enroll-ment period. For many peo-ple, that’s sometime in thefall.
Here’s a look at some typesof workplace coverage typi-cally available:
• Disability Insurance—This replaces a portion ofyour income if you’re unableto work due to a covered ill-ness or injury. Experts pre-dict that one in three peopleages 35 to 65 will experience adisabling illness or injurythat keeps them out of workfor 90 days or more. In thoseinstances, disability coveragecan help with household bills,
mortgages and other expens-es.
• Life Insurance—Havingthe proper amount of lifeinsurance is key for thoselooking to protect their fami-ly financially. Many employ-ers provide a basic plan at lit-tle or no cost and let employ-ees buy more coveragethrough payroll deduction.Find out if you have enoughdisability and life insurance.You can visit a Web site suchas www.cigna.com to use cal-culators that help determineyour appropriate amount ofprotection, or check out theinformation at www.lifehap-pens.org.
• Accident Insurance—Personal accident insurancecan be an affordable supple-
ment to life insurance. Itcomplements the coverageby other insurance pro-grams such as health, work-ers compensation and dis-ability and adds anotherlayer of security should theunexpected happen.
• Dental—Most peoplefocus on making choicesabout health insurance, butdon’t forget your dentalhealth! Many dental planscover preventive care at lowor no cost. You’ll also save onfillings and other dentalwork. Regular dental visits
may do more than brightenyour smile—they can helpcatch minor problems beforethey become major and moreexpensive to treat. And didyou know your dental healthmay impact your overallhealth? Research shows anassociation between gum dis-ease and people who have dia-betes or heart disease. It alsoshows that women who arepregnant and have gum dis-ease may be at greater risk forhaving a premature baby.Some dental plans includeextra benefits for people withcertain medical conditions orfor women who are pregnant,so check to see if your plandoes. A healthier mouth mayhelp you have a healthier life.
It’s important to re-evaluate yourworkplace insurance plans on a regu-lar basis.

Tough economic times mean less dispos-able income for most people, and as a result,otherwise generous families are forced tocurtail their charitable donations.
And since many families are no longerable to give as much as they once did, it hasbecome even more essential for corpora-tions to fill in the gaps so that no one has todo without.
For example, Perkins Restaurants &Bakeries continue to lend immeasurablesupport to Give Kids The World (GKTW), anorganization that provides memorable, mag-ical, cost-free experiences to children withlife-threatening illnesses and their families.
The GKTW Village in central Florida is a70-acre, nonprofit “storybook” resort, whichhouses the Gingerbread House—a restau-rant opened by Perkins in 1990. To date, theGingerbread House has served more than3.5 million complimentary meals.

Caring For An Aging Family Member(STATEPOINT)
“It is one of those things that happens tosomebody else,” says Keith Wolfard, a firefight-er and husband. Never in his wildest dreamsdid he imagine that he would become trappedas a full-time caregiver in his own home.
And yet more than 44 million Americanadults today — many of them men — are care-givers for family members or spouses. Theyface the constant challenges of juggling theirloved one’s daily needs and medical care whiletending to their own lives and work.
“Few of us are ever prepared for the role offamily caregiver, which today requires thecombined skills of a practical nurse, businessmanager, and therapist,” says best-sellingauthor Gail Sheehy, AARP’s Ambassador ofCaregiving and a former caregiver herself.Determined to help other caregivers fight theisolation and helplessness felt by so many,Sheehy traveled the country interviewing andfilming caregivers and their families, postingthe video interviews on AARP’s CaregivingWeb site (www.aarp.org/gailsheehy).
In Wolfard’s case, both he and his wiferefused to recognize signs of her creepingdementia. This denial can mean families do notseek immediate medical intervention thatmight delay the progress of disease. Also frus-trating was that three different doctors dis-missed the idea that Keith’s wife hadAlzheimer’s, a difficult disease to diagnose. Itoften is missed by doctors who say, “What doyou expect, she’s old?” But Keith’s wife wasonly in her 50s.
“Older people generally fear that admittingto serious illness might lead to having theirindependence taken away, so they insist every-thing is normal,” writes Sheehy. She points outthat depression, dehydration or a urinary tractinfection can be confused with dementia, as
can malnutrition and mismanaged medica-tions.
This is just one example of informationmany Americans need to be caregivers, accord-ing to AARP, the leading organization for peo-ple over 50 and the top resource and advocatefor caregivers. “Our loved ones may dependsolely on us as the primary caregiver and resisthelp from others,” said Sheehy.
* If you’re loved one is refusing help fromothers, start by calling your local Area Agencyon Aging to help you find a care manager. Thisusually is a social worker who can be a neutralprofessional voice. The care manager canassess the home situation, talk to the patient,and work with the caregiver to set up a treat-ment plan.
* Realize caregiving isn’t a sprint. It’s amarathon. You are living with a new uncertain-ty and you’re not going back to the old normal.You MUST take at least one hour a day to dosomething to nurture and refresh yourself.
* Collect your loved one’s medical history,including all medications, vitamins and over-the-counter supplements the patient is taking.This record will save you time in doctor’soffices and gain you points from nurses anddoctors.
* Don’t think you must do it alone. It’s ok toask for help regardless of what the patientwants. Let the care-manager be your advocate!Don’t be shy about asking for assistance fromextended family, neighbors, coworkers or yourcommunity. Something as simple as askingfriends to add your loved one’s grocery order ordry cleaning to their own can alleviate yourburden.

Are You Predisposed To Cancer?(STATEPOINT)
Many Americansare turning to newtechnologies to learnif they are at risk forcancer, as medicalresearchers have con-cluded that the risk ofdeveloping certaintypes of cancer runsin families.
New types of genet-ic tests that simplyrequire a blood orurine sample can helpdetermine if you arepredisposed to suchcancers as breast can-cer, leukemia, lym-phoma, bladder cancer,prostate cancer and others.
Once armed with the knowl-edge of whether or not you arepredisposed to certain can-cers, you can work closelywith your doctor to plan forregular screenings and tolower risks by modifying dietor behavior.
“Some kinds of cancer runin families, in genes that arethe blueprints of our bodies.Genetic tests look for inherit-ed alterations in genes thatmay increase your risk for acertain cancer,” says RobertGasparini, President andChief Scientific Officer ofNeoGenomics Laboratorieswhich specializes in cancergenetics testing.
In the case of breast cancer,for instance, up to ten percentof all breast cancer sufferershave an inherited form of thedisease, according to theNational Cancer Institute.
“But having an inheritedmutation in a gene that predis-poses you to a cancer doesn’tnecessarily mean you will
develop that cancer,” stressesGasparini.
Indeed, a number of med-ical experts believe many can-cers require patients to have apredisposition — such as aninherited genetic mutation —and then a trigger mechanismmust come into play for can-cer to develop. Triggers caninclude poor diet, smoking,drinking in excess, or evensuch factors as where you live,with some research indicatingthat living in polluted areas,near high power lines or radi-ation can trigger cancer.
Learning if you are predis-posed to certain types of can-cer can help you and your doc-tor plan for how often youshould be screened, whatlifestyle modifications youshould make, and even canprovide you with informationabout cancer risk for otherfamily members and yourchildren.
“Of course, accurate testingis even more important whena patient already has devel-oped suspicious symptoms.
And once symptomshave appeared,speed is critical,”says Gasparini.
Nearly everyonehas had this experi-ence: The doctorspots something sus-picious and ordersadditional tests.Now comes the hardpart: waiting days orweeks for resultsthat can bring a sighof relief or massivelife upheavals. Eachday lost waiting canmake a difference intreatment effective-
ness and outcome.Put simply: for many can-
cers, the faster you are diag-nosed and begin treatment thebetter chance of survival.
This is why you shouldmake sure your doctor is send-ing your tests to labs with bothaccurate and fast turn-arounds. With this in mind,NeoGenomics has initiateddiagnostic services that cuttest result turnaround time inhalf. The company’s labs spe-cialize in genetic and molecu-lar testing that combinesadvanced equipment withinnovative analytic algo-rithms that return test resultsto the doctor faster.
“Quality is expected in ahigh-complexity cancer-test-ing laboratory. Turnaroundtime becomes the single mostimportant factor when a doc-tor orders a test for a patientwho has a symptom of can-cer,” Gasparini emphasizes.

Surge In Older Cancer SurvivorsExpected As Boomers Age
(SPM WIRE)
It’s one of the downsides of an aging popu-lation. Concern for Baby Boomers looms overthe coming decades as America’s largest gen-eration ages to a stage where cancer is mostprevalent.
Currently, more than 60 percent of all malig-nant cancer diagnoses in America belong topeople ages 65 or older — a segment of thepopulation that continues to grow. Indeed, thenumber of people age 65 and older — current-ly about 36.8 million — is expected to doubleby the year 2030.
Now more than ever, prevention, accuratescreening and treatment of cancer are criticalfor Baby Boomers and their families.
“The coalescence of three factors has thepotential to create one of the biggest publichealth problems our country has faced indecades,” said Keith M. Bellizzi, a cancer sur-vivorship researcher and assistant professorof human development and family studies atthe University of Connecticut. “These are: theaging of the baby boomers, the age sensitivenature of cancer, and the increased survivalfor those diagnosed with cancer.”
According to recent research issued in theinternational journal “Cancer,” there are sev-eral things to consider for aging Boomers,
their families and their doctors:* Screening: Incomplete diagnoses are com-
mon for the elderly when it comes to cancerbecause there are so many sicknesses and fac-tors to consider. Seniors should make surethat their screening process is thorough andcomplete.
* Prevention: If prevention is possible, itshould always precede treatment.Nonetheless, the medical community contin-ues to rely on treatment more heavily, due to alack of research solving problems with pre-vention.
* Treatment: A Comprehensive GeriatricAssessment (CGA) is recommended for deter-mining which older cancer patients would notbe harmed by treatment (for example,chemotherapy) and which patients wouldavoid complications more readily with pallia-tive care. The opinion of the family is para-mount in these cases.
Within the medical community, Bellizzi saidthere is growing consensus betweenresearchers and clinicians for the necessity ofa multidisciplinary approach to fighting andtreating cancer. Only then will all of theangles of this complex issue be able to be fullyexplored.
Who’s To Blame ForThose Pesky Gray Hairs?
(SPM WIRE)
Can you blame a lifetime ofannoying jobs, unruly kidsand family emergencies foryour silver-streaked head ofhair?
It turns out that those ever-multiplying graying hairsthat tend to crop up with agereally are signs of stress,reveals new research recentlypublished in the science andmedical journal, “Cell.”
However, the stress in ques-tion is stress on cells in yourbody, not necessarily the fam-ily and work stress over yourlifetime.
According to researchers atTokyo Medical and DentalUniversity, “the DNA in [ourbody’s] cells is under constantattack” from such damagingagents as chemicals, ultravio-let light and ionizing radia-tion.
“It is estimated that a singlecell in mammals canencounter approximately100,000 DNA damaging eventsper day,” said EmiNishimura, who led the newresearch.
It turns out that stress doesdamage to the DNA in stemcells that are responsible forthe coloring in our hair,among other things.
According to theresearchers, the new findingsabout gray hair may lead toadvances in understanding
other symptoms of aging.They support the “stem cellaging hypothesis,” which pro-poses that DNA damage to
long-lived stem cells can be amajor cause for the symp-toms that come with age.

Knowing your family health history is prov-ing to be extremely significant, when it comesto the health of your bones.
Of all the gifts that generations of womenhave passed on to their loved ones, one of themost important is the gift of knowledge abouthealth - especially information about bonehealth and osteoporosis. It’s important notonly to know your own family health history,but to make sure to pass it down to your chil-dren and grandchildren.
“An estimated one in two women age 50 andolder will break a bone from osteoporosis intheir remaining lifetime,” said LeoSchargorodski, executive director of TheNational Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF).“Our goal is to provide parents informationabout bone health and osteoporosis preven-tion, so they can not only protect themselves,but also influence the next generation to makelifelong bone health a family tradition.”
Osteoporosis is a disease in which bonesbecome weak and can break from a minor fallor, in serious cases, from a simple action suchas a sneeze. It is a major public health threatfor an estimated 44 million Americans, or 55percent of the people 50 years of age and older.
In the U.S. today, 10 million individuals areestimated to already have the disease. Almost34 million more are estimated to have lowbone mass, placing them at increased risk forosteoporosis.
“Bone health is a family issue, particularlyas genetics and heredity are among the keyfactors that influence a person’s risk of devel-oping osteoporosis,” said Robert Recker, MD,president of the NOF. “However, there aremany lifestyle choices that families can maketo help build strong bones and prevent osteo-porosis later in life.”
In a 2008 survey, it was revealed that 40 per-cent of women and 60 percent of men age 45and older have little or no concern about theirbone health. Additionally, it has been reportedthat nine out of 10 teenage girls fail to getenough of the calcium they need.
NOF encourages all individuals, young andold, to eat a well-balanced diet rich in calciumand vitamin D, exercise and be active, andavoid smoking and drinking alcohol.
The organization also is collaborating withits network of healthcare professionals andpatient support groups to encourage familydialogue about bone health and osteoporosis.Visit www.nof.org to download materials andlearn more about the disease.

(NAPS)
With health costs as high as they are, thelast thing you need is for an avoidable acci-dent in your house to land you in the doctor’soffice. Still, about 45 percent of unintentionalinjuries occur in or around the home, accord-ing to Yale Medical Group. Fortunately, thereare ways to avoid becoming a statistic.
“Simple steps can help keep families safe,”says Debra Holtzman, an acclaimed safetyexpert and author of the best-selling book“The Safe Baby: A Do-It-Yourself Guide toHome Safety and Healthy Living.” “The keyis to plan ahead and be prepared for emergen-cies.”
Holtzman, who has appeared on the“Today” show, “Dateline NBC” and “MarthaStewart Living Radio,” has a number of tipsthat make obvious sense. While some maysound familiar—multipurpose fire extin-guishers, for example, should be kept onhand—others help protect against householdhazards that aren’t obvious but are just asdangerous.
• Stay Safe—Designating a safe roomin your home may be a new idea to many, but
it could mean the difference between life anddeath during a hurricane or tropical storm. Abig closet or interior room, without a window,is ideal. Opt for flashlights and radios pow-ered by hand cranks so you won’t have toworry about depleted batteries. To keep yourhome safe from intruders, you might upgradeyour security via motion sensor lights, alongwith dead bolts and peepholes for exteriordoors. And check the references of anyoneworking in your home to verify trustworthi-ness.
• Stay Healthy—No more procrasti-nating—if you haven’t done so, it’s time toput together a first-aid kit. Essentials includenonlatex gloves, antiseptic wipes and assort-ed bandages. Holtzman recommends NexcareBandages, since they provide a variety ofstyles for all kinds of activities and feature adiamond-shaped, 360-degree adhesive sealthat keeps out dirt and germs.
• Stay Connected—Think twice beforetrying to pare expenses by disconnecting thecorded landline phone that plugs into a phonejack in your home. It often works duringpower outages—unlike cordless phones—andcell phones can be unreliable. Also, post a listof emergency numbers, including out-of-town contacts, since it’s sometimes easier toconnect with a long-distance number outsideof an emergency area than a local numberwithin it.
• Stay Kitchen-Cautious—Storeknives and other sharp utensils in drawerswith safety latches. Keep fruit and vegetablesfree from disease-causing bacteria by wash-ing them thoroughly—even if the packagingsays the produce has been prewashed. Also,keep Nexcare Waterproof Clear Bandagesnear the sink. These ultrathin waterproofbandages keep water out and stay on whenwashing produce, dishes and hands.

Keeping Your Family And HomeSafeTakes On New Urgency
Having a variety of bandages on hand can helpkeep families prepared for emergencies.
Protecting Children’s Oral Health Year-Round(NAPS)
The end of a long vacation from school couldactually give children reason to smile.
Dentists say that school breaks often mean abreak from the healthy oral care routines chil-dren establish when school’s in session. Thatcould leave youngsters at increased risk of cavi-ties and other common oral health issues. “Aschool morning routine is an ideal time for par-ents to reinforce proper hygiene habits thatensure kids maintain strong teeth and healthygums year-round,” explained Beth Truett,President and CEO, Oral Health America. “Byempowering moms and dads with informationabout good oral care habits, such as brushing andflossing, we can impact a child’s overall health forlife.”
Tooth decay is considered the most commonchronic childhood disease—five times more com-mon than asthma—according to the U.S.Department of Health and Human Services. Thedepartment also reports that more than 51 mil-lion school hours are lost each year to dental-related illness.
Fortunately, good oral health habits can keeptooth decay at bay. To help teach students and par-ents this important lesson, Trident gum has part-nered with Smiles Across America (SAA), a pro-gram that links schools and dental care providersto help fight untreated oral disease. The compa-ny’s support has enabled SAA to double the num-ber of children it cares for and expand servicesfor more children in underserved communities.Smiles Across America offers these oral caretips:
• Brush twice a day, after breakfast and beforebedtime, to remove food particles and plaque.Plaque causes tooth decay and gum disease.
• Use a soft toothbrush so you don’t scratchteeth or gums.
• Brush both the teeth and gums, especially theareas where teeth and gums meet, and the chew-ing surfaces of teeth.
• Brush after eating or drinking, especiallyafter meal time.
• Adults should supervise toothbrushing, giv-ing a second brushing after kids have brushed tomake sure teeth are clean.
• Floss every day to remove food and plaquefrom between teeth and under gums. If plaque isnot removed, it can harden into tartar—a hard,yellow buildup.
• Visit the dentist every six months to one yearfor cleanings and checkups, beginning at age 1,when baby teeth are coming in.
THE ROLE OF NUTRITION
At any age, a complete oral health programincludes sound nutritional habits. Many of thefoods that help build strong muscles and bones inchildren also help build strong, healthy teeth andgums.
For instance, dairy products provide calciumand vitamin D for strengthening teeth and bones,while breads and cereals supply B vitamins andiron for healthy gum tissue. For snacks, choosefoods such as cheese, raw vegetables, plain yogurtor fruit, and limit the amount of fruit juice eachday.
PROTECTING TEETH
Children who play sports should wear a mouthguard to protect their teeth. These devices typi-cally cover the upper teeth, and are designed toguard against broken teeth and other damage tothe mouth. Kids who wear braces or other fixeddental appliances on their lower jaw might alsoneed a guard for their lower teeth. Ask your den-tist.
How You Can HelpConsumers can help aid Smiles Across
America and its support for pediatric oral care bypicking up a package of Trident gum from 9/1/09through 9/7/09, when Trident will donate $0.05per purchase, up to $600,000, to Smiles AcrossAmerica. For more information on SmilesAcross America, visitwww.tridentcares4kids.org.
Brushing, flossing and seeing a dentist can help pro-tect kids from the most common chronic childhooddisease—tooth decay.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN
This job comes with a lot ofperks; I won’t deny it. Case inpoint was a recent Friday where Igot to drive some convertiblesfrom Boston to Kennebunkport,Maine and back. These were noordinary convertibles. I drove aRolls Royce Drophead, an AstonMartin DB 9, Mercedes SL 63AMG, and a Bentley Azure T. Bythe time the day was through Ihad driven over a million dollarsin convertibles. (There’s a greatarticle about the day availableonline athttp://www.boston.com/cars/.)So, why do I relate all of this?Well, into each life a little rainmust fall, or so I thought. My ridehome at the end of the day was a2010 Subaru Legacy. Tofu after aday of caviar, surely you jest? Well, color me ignorant becausethis is a heckuva sedan. It won’tever make you turn down a carworth hundreds of thousands ofdollars, but it will never fill youwith regret for owning one.Subaru has come up with a Lexusbeater in its new Legacy.This Legacy is all grown up.Previous generations were notsuitable for five American adults.The new model is the roomiestLegacy ever built with rear seatlegroom increased by 4 inchesover previous model. That’s prac-tically limousine like in the back-seat. Almost makes me wish I hadbeen driven instead of being thedriver in the Legacy loaned to mefor a week by Subaru.The model I drove was the 2.5iwith the standard six-speed man-ual transmission. It has the weak-est of the engines offered in theLegacy lineup: a revised 170-hp2.5-liter 4-cylinder Boxer engine.Well, it’s only weak when com-pared to the 2.5GT, which is pow-ered by a new 265-hp tur-bocharged / intercooled Boxerengine, or the new Legacy 3.6Rthat is powered by a new 256-hp3.6-liter 6-cylinder Boxer engine.There was no situation in morethan 250 miles of driving where Isaid, “I wish I had the biggerengines.”Part of the enjoyment of the
Legacy comes from the smooth-shifting six-speed manual trans-mission. It shifts almost intu-itively with a properly sprungclutch that responds with littleeffort on the clutch. It’s the kindof sedan that makes you feel likea much better driver than youare.Handling is always going to beoutstanding on the Legacy(assuming you don’t challengethe laws of physics and commonsense). All Legacy models for 2010are equipped as standard withvehicle dynamics control, whichcombines stability and tractioncontrol capability. The 2010Legacy models are also equippedwith a standard 4-wheel discAnti-lock Brake System (ABS)with electronic brake-force distri-bution (EBD) and, new for 2010,the brake assist safety system.One feature that took some get-ting used to (and I’ll admit it wasprobably a mental block on mypart) is the electronic parkingbrake. I’m used to pulling thebrake to set it but you push theelectronic parking brake to
engage it and pull to release it.Needless to say I spent almost aweek doing it backwards.Other features that didn’t takegetting used to included standardsteering wheel cruise control but-tons, a 60/40 split fold-down rearseat, and the all-new electronicHill Holder System that holds thevehicle in place until the driversteps on the gas. It has to addyears to your clutch.Equipped with the LineartronicCVT, the Legacy 2.5i achieves 23mpg city / 31 mpg highway EPAfuel economy ratings, which arecomparable to front-wheel drivemidsize models. The six-speedmanual version is rated at 19 mpgcity and 27 mpg highway. It justgoes to show you how far trans-missions have come. When I wasyounger, there’s no way an auto-matic transmission would havethumped a manual so badly.It really makes sense to buy theautomatic transmission versionif you plan to keep your car formore than four years. Assumingno increase in gas prices, rightnow the CVT version costs $266less per year to operate. Even aslight uptick in prices couldspeed up those savings.Speaking of savings, according toSubaru, the 2010 Legacy is pricedclose to its front-wheel drive com-petitors. An MSRP of $19,995 forthe 2010 Legacy 2.5i is an $800reduction from the 2009 modeland makes it the most affordablemidsize all-wheel drive car avail-able in America. An MSRP of$24,995 for the 2010 Legacy 3.6Rrepresents a $1,600 reductionfrom the 2009 3.0R model andmakes it the most affordable 6-cylinder all-wheel drive car inAmerica. (MSRP’s do not include$695 destination charge for 48contiguous states.)Put me down as strong advocateof the 2010 Subaru Legacy. It’s atrue world-class sedan thatshould be able to handle anythingNew England winters throw at it.Plus, it’s pretty darn sharp look-ing to boot.

Auto Review
The 2010 Subaru Legacy has grown in size and style to make it a strong competitor in the highly competitive midsize sedan market.
Wait a minute, is that rear legroom in a Legacy? It’s finally true in the larger 2010 version.
