Northbridge School District embarks on feasibility study Public forum on plans Aug. 28

BY RAYANNE COOMBS

TRIBUNE CORRESPONDENT

NORTHBRIDGE – A feasibility study is underway in Northbridge to investigate the size, enrollment, grade configuration, educational requirements, location, and conceptual design of a proposed school building project to replace the W. Edward Balmer Elementary School, originally built in 1968. The School Building Committee, along with the project management firm Symmes Maini & McKee Associates, and designers from Dore & Whittier Architects, continue to work on developing options for the Balmer School’s future. The Massachusetts School

Building Authority (MSBA), who partners with school districts to support the design and construction of public school facilities that are educationally appropriate, flexible, sustainable, and cost-effective will fund 57.11 percent plus incentives of eligible project cost for an approved project if accepted by the voters of Northbridge. The feasibility study is looking into three possible options, which include renovation of the existing Balmer school, which would bring the school up to code; renovation and addition, which would include like-new interiors; or construction of a new build-

ing. The study will also look at grade configuration options which could potentially consolidate Northbridge Elementary School with the Balmer School. According to the School Building Committee’s timeline, a preliminary design program will be presented in October, and will include a variety of building options. Between October and January 2018, the options will be narrowed down to one, and schematic design will begin. In May 2018, the final schematic design report will be submitted. The design will then be put forward for support from the MSBA. The final approval for fund-

ing will ultimately come from Northbridge residents at the town’s election in November 2018. After a thorough observation of the Balmer School, the School Building Committee cited many flaws within the building that were in need of repair and replacement. Concerns included circulation and drainage, building insulation, window issues, an aging roof that is ready for replacement, accessibility problems, and tired and worn interiors. The committee also noted that equipment, controls, and lighting are all in need of replacement. Yet another concern is

haz-mat abatement which is needed in certain spots in the building. The School Building Committee also toured the Northbridge Elementary School (NES) and found similar concerns. NES was built in 1952 and had an addition attached in 1983. The school also has a modular structure that was added in 2000. The committee noted that walls, ceilings, and the roof were in disrepair and that there were some mechanical Issues including HVAC systems running far beyond their expected life. Additional electrical, plumbing and technology issues were also discovered within NES. Turn To

Fitness and fun earn honors for local athletes Honoring a tradition more than 100 years old, a local fraternal organization still encourages physical fitness and fun in the youth of the community by sponsoring the SLET competitions. On Tuesday, July 11 42 members of Group 3, Slovak Catholic Sokol, boarded a Silver Fox bus at the Douglas Municipal Center and headed for SUNY Brockport to attend the 48th International Slet. The Slovak Catholic Sokol is a fraternal organization that has been in existence since 1905. The organization’s motto is, “A Sound Mind in a Sound Body.” Groups from all over the United States and Canada, participate in the International Slet, a competition which includes, gymnastics, track and field, and calisthenics (marching and drill routines performed to both native Slovak music as well as current music hits). Over the years, Group 3 has seen many suc-

cesses by individuals in gymnastics, track and field events, individual and team successes in the drill competitions, and proudly earning the Spirit Award. This year, Group 3 saw its ultimate goal come to fruition when they were named the 48th International Slet Champions and awarded the Championship flag!! Members of Group 3 who competed ranged in age from 8-23 years and hail from Douglas, Bolton, and South Grafton and Pascoag, RI. Group 3 is managed by Roger Manyak and directed by mother and son duo, Judith and Gary Manyak. If you would like more information about the Slovak Catholic Sokol organization, or are interested in becoming a member of Group 3, please contact Roger Manyak at (508) 476-2668 or [email protected].

Hundreds of Charlton, Oxford and Millbury residents will see electric bills they might not expect this month because their “opt-out” cards didn’t get to Texas on time. Exactly why is unclear, but “a mailing issue could have been the issue,” said Good Energy spokesman Stefano

Loretto. His firm is coordinating the new electricity aggregation program for the towns, which began this month; through it, the three towns are pooling their citizens’ electricity purchases in hopes of getting lower bills. Residents were sent notices early in June asking them to return the “optout” cards by July 9 if they

Children’s ministry lends support to African water crisis BY RAYANNE COOMBS

TRIBUNE CORRESPONDENT

WHITINSVILLE – Clean, running water – we drink it; we cook with it; we wash with it; and for many of us, we take it for granted. According to the World Health Organization, only 16% of people in sub-Saharan Africa had access to drinking water through a household connection (an indoor tap or a tap in the yard). Not only is there poor access to readily accessible drinking water, even when water is available in these small towns, there are always risks of contamination. The children at St. Patrick’s Parish, in Whitinsville, are working hard to help provide support to those in dire need across the globe. Mission Kid-Possible, one of the children’s ministries at St. Patrick’s, recently hosted a lemonade stand and bake didn’t want to participate, and sale to raise money to help pro519 did. But a few days later, vide clean water to families in Good Energy received more Africa. Maryann Swartz, coorthan four times as many addidinator of the children’s ministional cards that seem to have try explained, “The lemonade been sent on time but delayed stand and bake sale was a fundin transit. raiser for ‘The Walter Project’ Loretto said most of them which is a project that helps were manually processed and to provide clean, potable water taken off the aggregation list, to communities in Africa that otherwise would not have it.” Turn To SNAFU page ­­­A5 This is the second year in a

Electric opt-out snafu corrected with next bill BY GUS STEEVES

St. John’s Episcopal Church in Sutton and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in North Grafton have announced plans to merge their congregations into a newly combined parish, Holy Spirit Episcopal Church. Reverend Lisa Green of St. John’s parish explained, “The merger—or as we call it, our “emerging” as one new congregation—has been happening for some time, with many milestones along the way. This past December, our vestries (governing boards) made the decision and in February, we started worshiping together every Sunday. In May, we signed the Covenant agreement and on June 4, we celebrated our new identity as Holy Spirit Episcopal Church.” Rev. Green added, “The idea of the merger came in 2015 out of our shared participation in a consulting process called ‘Recasting Assets’ designed to help churches thrive by becoming more relevant in the community and financially sus-

tainable. We agreed to ‘Walk Together’ in 2016 with regular shared worship, outreach, fellowship and governance, and at the end of the year made the decision to come together. Our legal merger will be completed later this fall.” Together the parishes have approximately 100 active households with a combined Sunday attendance of 60-70. When asked how the parishioners were feeling about the merger, Rev. Green said, “Any big change brings a host of emotions: excitement, anxiety, confusion, grief, hope. For some the uncertainty has been too challenging, but most have come along for a journey that is sometimes bumpy and never boring!” Pastor Lauren Goodwin, Rector at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, said in an email to her parish, “I have gotten regular glimpses of the grace, creativity, generosity and yes, even the unpredictable nature of God among God’s people during this time

row that the ministry chose this as a way to provide help to those in need. Swartz said, “Last summer fellow parishioner, Ray Kane came to me with the information kit from The Walter Project and proposed that we have the kids in our parish participate. We put it together rather quickly last year, but were able to raise $800. The kids decided they wanted to beat that number and raise $1000 this year - they did - they raised $1,104.87! The great thing is that the $1000 they raised is going to provide a community in Africa with one share of a community well.” Swartz explained, “Mission Kid-Possible is our new social justice club/ministry for children primarily in grades K-5 here at the parish. However, kids of any age are more than welcome. The ministry is focused on teaching even the youngest children that we all have a responsibility to work for social justice, and that even kids can make a difference!” She went on to say, “At the first meeting of Mission KidPossible, the children learned about the plight of children and families in Africa who Turn To

Showing up What a good idea. There was a great variety of people who showed up at the first event organized at the Brimfield Get Involved day. Organized by three towns who recognized a regional approach would work better than trying to go it alone, representatives of Brimfield, Holland and Wales met and discussed just how to encourage others to, indeed, get involved. We could all learn a lesson, as the day itself found such organizations as varied as churches, service clubs, sports teams, veterans’ organizations, conservation groups, academies and scouting groups set up displays and manned booths. Even better, people turned out to find out about the other groups. They asked questions, found about schedules, found about commitment, learned about programs… If we could suggest it, we would say other towns and organizations should definitely look into this. There has been a steady decline in membership in service clubs, in volunteerism for committees and commissions, in leaders and coaches for youth groups; for years. Enticing people away from home and into the community will take some doing; some reason for that decision. So if a well organized day of getting the Scouts, the churches, Kiwanis, Lions, YMCA, town committees and others who could use help were to happen in every town, who knows what the results might be? We would like to see it happen, and challenge towns to find a way to do so. A bit of organization will be needed, a guiding force to get it going; but it looks like a good idea. Who is next?

Why should Congress be exempted from ObamaCare and not you? “If ObamaCare is hurting people, & it is, why shouldn’t it hurt the insurance companies & why should Congress not be paying what the public pays?” tweeted the President. Donald Trump wants to remove privileged taxpayer subsidies to members of Congress, their staffs, and insurance companies, at least until they pass something on healthcare. On November 8, 2013, each member of Congress, with little media coverage, chose whether they and their staffs accepted the Obama exemption exempting them from having to live under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as did their constituents, they could go elsewhere, costing more, and be subsidized by the taxpayer. And the exemption was made easy to accept. If lawmakers didn’t act, staffers were exempted by default — automatically. Did your two U.S. Senators and member of the House of Representatives choose to exempt themselves from ObamaCare while still pushing it on you? Most Americans were not supportive of ObamaCare when signed into law March 23, 2010. Today, seven years later, most would vote against it as well, especially in light of its history of rate increases and higher deductibles, although President Barack Obama promised otherwise. And most have not been able to keep their doctors or providers. Big business and unions opted out of it, when possible, as fast as they could. In what appeared aimed to mute congressional opposition to the forced healthcare law, Obama allowed Congress to opt out, leaving only the American people enslaved by the legislation they created. Last week Congress did not repeal ObamaCare in part because they would lose their ability to choose other plans because of the subsidies. Trump wants them to lose their privileged status. At first some members of Congress convincingly denied that they had received an exemption, but Senator David Vitter published the Obamacare language next to the Obama exemption. The first read in part: “If the employee purchases a qualified health plan through the Exchange the employee will lose the employer contribution (if any) to any health benefits plan offered by the employer and that all or a portion of such contribution may be excludable from income for Federal income tax purposes” (See Section 1512, number 3). The second, the Obama Congressional exemption, coming through the Office of Personnel Management, page 6, read in part: “The revisions adopted here have no impact on the availability to Member of Congress and Congressional Staff of the contribution established in 5 USC 8906” (Alex Pappas, “Republican accuses fellow lawmakers of ‘lying’ about Obamacare exemption,” 9/19/2013). Since the federal government was their employer they would not lose the subsidy as would others by not accepting ObamacCare. Obama, who had no constitutional authority to make law, unilaterally

changed the law in 2013 and voided, otherwise mandatory, congressional participation. This presumably to grease DR. HAROLD the skids for members of Congress accepting PEASE what in any other setting would be called a bribe. They defined their employees as “official” or “not official,” to determine whether or not staff members had to enter the exchanges. Because the exception was not part of the original law and came about thereafter by executive change, Trump can nullify by the same power. The hypocrisy of forcing the people to live under what they themselves will not is beyond description and at the height of political corruption. If the president is going to lead us into socialized medicine then he must accept it for himself. If the Supreme Court is going to rule it constitutional, they too must live under it. This should be the litmus test for the reelection of every U.S. Senator and member of the House of Representatives for the next several years to flush out of office those who exempt themselves from the laws that they make for others. All members of Congress made this decision on November 8, 2013. Did they choose to live above the law? If so, corruption has never been so clear and stark. Most House Republicans opted to submit themselves and their staffs to the exemption of the law because they despised the law and played virtually no role in its inception. But Senate Democrats, who all voted for it, appeared hypocritical when they too supported the exemption. We believe that no exemptions should be made for anyone who works in government. How will they govern correctly if they have immunized themselves from the pain they cause others? We support Senator Rand Paul’s Constitutional Amendment designed to require our government to live under the same laws that they make for us. They are not our masters but our servants. Insurance companies have been given huge subsidies, taken primarily from the middle class, to entice them to keep prices lower for those with lower incomes. If these are cut this week, as Trump threatens, ObamaCare may collapse even more quickly and Trump and Republicans may be blamed, so cut them gradually beginning now. But there is no sympathy for members of Congress and their staffs — cut them immediately and insurance subsidies 5 or 10% per month until ended. More insurance companies, thus more options and lower prices, will develop quickly as has always been the case under the free market, when truly free.

Stay calm on the investment “roller coaster”  Unless you live near an amusement park that does a lot of advertising, you probably didn’t know that Aug. 16 is National Roller Coaster Financial Day. Actual roller Focus coasters provide people with thrills. DENNIS But as an investor, ANTONOPOULOS how can you stay calm on the “roller coaster” of the financial markets? Here are some suggestions: Know what’s in front of you. If you’ve ever ridden a roller coaster in the dark, you may find it scarier than if you boarded it in daylight – after all, it can be unsettling not to know where you’re going. The same can be said about investing: If you have no idea what’s in front of you, you might find the journey unnerving – and if that happens, you could make panicky decisions, which are usually bad ones. So prepare for the inevitable market volatility – it’s a normal part of the investment landscape.  Buckle up. When you’re on a roller coaster, you need to buckle your seat belt or use a restraint. You want to have the excitement of the ride, but you certainly don’t want to take unnecessary risks. And you can enjoy some of the excitement of investing without incurring more risk than you are comfortable with, too. One way to lower your risk level is to diversify across a range of investments – stocks, bonds, government securities, and so on. That way, if a market downturn primarily affects just one type of investment, you’ll have some protection. However, although diversification can reduce the impact of volatility on your portfolio, it can’t protect against all losses or guarantee a profit.  Choose a strategy for the journey. Different people have different ways of handling a roller coaster ride. Some like to throw their hands up, enjoying the feeling of abandon, while others hold on tightly to the bar in front of them. When you invest, you also need a strategy that works for you, and the best one may be the simplest: Buy quality investments and hold them for the long term. How long is “long term”? It could be 10, 20, 30 years or more. Famed investor Warren Buffet says his favorite holding period is “forever.” If you’ve chosen a mix of quality investments appropriate for your risk tolerance, you may be able to hold them until either your goals change or the investments themselves undergo some transformation.  Stay for the whole “ride.” When you hop on a roller coaster, you’ve got no choice – you’re staying until the ride is over. As an investor, though, you can exit the investment world whenever you like. But if you take a “time out” from investing every time the market drops, you risk still being out of the market when it rallies – and the early stages of a rally are often when the biggest gains occur. Furthermore, if you keep investing during a “down” market, you’ll be buying shares when their price has dropped, which means your dollars can go further – and you’ll be following one of the basic rules of investing: “Buy low.” You can’t take out all the twists and turns of the investment road, but by following the above suggestions, you can help make the ride less stressful – and possibly more rewarding.   This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

New state building code coming BY GUS STEEVES STAFF WRITER

This fall, the state intends to release something that will have at least an indirect impact on almost everybody: the latest update of the state Building Code. “A lot of it is technical; a couple changes affect homeowners,” said Auburn Building Inspector Caleb Moody. “There aren’t a lot of changes, making it a little more user-friendly and cutting back on some regulations that have been a little too much.” As an example, he pointed to what’s called the “stretch code,” which was once many pages but is now just a half page. That’s largely because “the energy code now incorporates a lot of stretch requirements anyway,” he said. “[Those] changes will affect people the most, and they happened last year.” Specifically, the “stretch code” is the state’s term for gradually increasing energy efficiency in construction, particularly residences. In started in 2009 as a voluntary code that towns could

adopt as an alternative to the “base code,” in which builders could design to meet energy savings goals rather than to fulfill technical requirements, and initially only a handful did. Since then, it’s been adapted every few years, and more than 200 towns have accepted it. To Oxford’s Dennis Lamarche, a selectman and home repair contractor, one of its aspects is particularly “crazy.” It requires homes to be designed to be almost thoroughly airtight, in the interest of saving heating fuel. “It doesn’t allow the house to breathe, and a house has to breathe,” he said. “The house gets to be so tight, then they require you to put fans in it” to circulate air. He estimated the average additional expense at $500-700 per house. “Personally, I see it as people who don’t know about building making regulations for builders,” he added, but noted most of the other changes “ don’t bother me as much.” According to the state’s website, this will be the 9th edition since 1975. Of them, the sixth edition lasted the lon-

gest -- 12 years (1997-2009) -- and the first one the shortest -- just nine days. Overseen by the Board of Building Regulations and Standards, it “consists of a series of international codes and any state-specific amendments,” and changes “as new information and technology becomes available.” Moody said one of the revisions homeowners are more likely to need to know regards fences: the code now allows people to put up fences “not more than seven feet in height” without a permit. That was tripping up people by the simple fact most fence panels are six feet tall, but the extra few inches they typically require underneath them violated the official six-foot limit. Another more important change is that the old code allowed people to make repairs up to the home’s original condition, but now they’re required to bring them up to the current code, Moody added. Normally, reaching that higher standard has been required if projects exceed a certain percentage of the home’s value, but that has been

changing periodically. For example, the website notes if more than 25 percent of a roof was damaged, the entire thing had to be replaced under the 7th edition, but the 8th edition nixed that. Officially, the 9th edition will take effect Jan. 1, 2018, with what’s called a “concurrency period” in which builders can choose which one to follow (the 8th or 9th) “without mixing provisions” for some period before that. At present, how long that will be is unclear; Moody said it was originally planned to start in July, but he believes it will start in September now. That doesn’t affect the energy code, though; the current standards have been in effect since Jan. 2. To Moody, one of the plusses of the new code is that it’s shorter. He now has to thumb through several thick tomes to find relevant requirements, so “I’m looking forward to having just one book,” he said. Gus Steeves can be reached at gus. [email protected].

Estate discoveries Antiques, Collectibles & Estates WAYNE TUISKULA At a recent auction, I spoke with a man who shared an interesting story with me. Years ago, he and some other antique dealers were asked to bid on the contents of a small home. The contents needed to be removed and

some of the people bidding were providing quotes where there would be a cleanout charge to the estate and any found items would become the property of the person doing the cleanout. The man I spoke with saw some items of value and offered a modest bid that would provide the estate with some funds, instead of the executor having to only pay for a cleanout. The man was the successful bidder. What he and none of the other people bidding were able to see were the items tucked away in the attic. The man told me that

he found a treasure trove of historical items such as muskets that had been passed down through the family for centuries. He said that he retired when he was very young with his windfall and now just dabbles with antiques and auctions as a hobby. Our business model calls for selling items on consignment so that our clients get the largest share when we find something great in an estate. We find this to be the fairest method because good items often aren’t readily visible in an estate. We hav-

en’t run across a find like the man with all of the museum quality relics, but we have had many great discoveries over the years. Two estates were particularly memorable for the volume and quality of items that we found. Prior to becoming an auctioneer, I sold the contents of a large local home by running an estate sale for the heirs. The main house contained many older antiques from the 19th century and the garage was filled mainly with vintage items, many in original boxes. There were

primitive country antiques, antique Christmas decorations, toys and many other antiques inside the home. The garage also had vintage toys, two diffused German World War II hand grenades and some country store cabinets. One particularly unpleasant job was cleaning out a jelly cabinet that had contained tin cans from around the 1950s. The cans had burst and pests infested the cabinet at one point over the years. There was a nearly full Turn To

but about 800 could not be. Those households will get their next energy bill at the aggregation rate stating they’re being supplied by Public Power, but all future bills will revert to National Grid’s basic service. Charlton Town Administrator Robin Craver predicted this issue will clear up easily. “The people who have opted out will be opted out. Unfortunately, it didn’t get there in time for this month,” she said. Aggregation takes effect in July for the August billing cycle. Craver said the aggregation potentially includes “every household in Charlton who’s on the open National Grid contract,” but not those who have personal contracts with other suppliers. In this case, 4,039 households are basic National Grid subscribers; all but 816 accepted the aggregation offer. In Oxford, the numbers are 4280 total households with 1102 opting out.

At present, the aggregated electricity rate ($0.09366 per kWh) is slightly lower than National Grid’s rate ($0.09432 per kWh), but Loretto noted that changes every six months, on May 1 and Oct. 1. Craver said she’s concerned about that, and it was one reason she supported aggregation. “We had heard that there are several nuclear plants going off-line, and that prices may increase,” she said. According to the Attorney General’s website, nuclear is less of an issue than fossil fuels. “Natural gas is used by power plants in New England to produce over 40 percent of the region’s electric power, meaning a significant increase in the price of natural gas also results in higher electric rates,” it states. “Although petroleum and natural gas prices have fluctuated greatly in recent years, the long-term forecast is for high prices. Residential electric rates have doubled in New England since 1990, with much of the increase occurring since 2004.” Currently, the AG is fighting a proposal by Eversource

aimed at guaranteeing “10.5 percent shareholder profits” by hiking electric rates by $36 million (Western Mass Electric) and $60 million (NSTAR Electric), but National Grid doesn’t have a major rate hike on the table. The Department of Public Utilities website, however, notes National Grid has two public hearings coming up in August -- one on Aug. 8 for “recovery of costs associated with its Solar Phase II generation facilities” in several towns (the nearest being Grafton); the other on Aug. 24 for “approval of its smart grid pilot program rate adjustment and reconciliation filing.” “We know what the new rate will be five or six weeks before the change,” Loretto said. They post the new figure on several websites, including town specific ones -- Charlton’s is the town website; Oxford’s is www. oxford-cea.com. “The whole nature of the program is that you can come and go as you see fit,” free of charge, Loretto said, although doing so requires calling a dedicated phone line, not Public Power’s regular 800 number.

The following shows how many total National Grid basic service subscribers exist in each town (A); how many opt-out letters were received before the deadline (B) or afterward (C); and the total opting out (D). (Source: Public Power attorney Scott Mueller’s letter emailed to Charlton.) TOWN A B Charlton 4039 161 Oxford 4280 271 Millbury 4446 87 One issue that’s already raising some ire is that some people will see their first bill increase even though the rate is lower. That’s not some sleight of hand; it’s because the last bill covered mid-May to mid-June, which was a rather damp, cool period. The next one will cover mid-June to mid-July, which was much hotter. “July and August are the highest consumption months of the year, and it bums me out that some people are going to associate that increase with our program,” Loretto said. The bills have a chart that shows actual consumption by month over the last year, so customers can see what they actually used.

Craver said Charlton Town Meeting chose to aggregate a few years ago. Initially, the town had a regional bid with Hampshire County, but the state didn’t renew it, so Charlton teamed up with Oxford and Millbury. Despite ads, Town Meeting, selectmen’s meetings and other outreach, some residents still didn’t know anything about it until receiving “notices they were being put into the plan,” she said, noting the process happened via “full procurement and open bid.” Gus Steeves can be reached at [email protected].

Gobi champions tax exemptions for volunteer firefighters, EMTs BOSTON – On Thursday, the Senate debated a property tax bill aimed at expanding what cities and towns can offer in property tax deferral or exemption programs.  The legislation includes benefits for active military personnel, senior citizens, and people with disabilities.  The bill passed unanimously. Senator Anne M. Gobi (D-Spencer) was successful in passing an amendment that provides tax benefits to volunteer firefighters and EMTs.  Approved unanimously by the Senate, the amendment establishes a local option for cities, towns, and fire districts to provide a real estate tax exemption of up to $2,500 for volunteer firefighters and EMTs. “The towns in my district and many others are well served by our Call/ Volunteer Firefighters and EMTs,” said Senator Gobi.  “They sacrifice personal, family and work time and are willing to put their lives on the line to protect us. 

This is an opportunity for municipalties that choose, to show appreciation for their service and to encourage others to volunteer.” The Commonwealth is protected by approximately 8,000 call/volunteer firefighters and EMTs. There are about 100 communities that rely entirely upon call/volunteer firefighters and another 160 that use a combination of call/ volunteer and career firefighters. Each year, it becomes increasingly harder to keep these volunteers. The National Volunteer Fire Council estimates that volunteer firefighters save communities in the United States more than $139.8 billion a year.  In the past decade it is estimated that the number of volunteer firefighters and EMTs has dropped by 15%.  Senator Gobi’s amendment aims to encourage volunteer fire/EMT participation from citizens of the Commonwealth.

Supplying twice as much beta carotene and a whopping 700% of vitamin K required in a daily diet and labeled one of nature’s most nutrient dense food, it’s no wonder kale is hailed as the king of cruciferous vegetables!   Humble Beginnings: A descendent from the wild cabbage family, kale popularity can be traced to the Celts, who introduced the leafy vegetable to ancient Europeans. While extremely hardy and easy to grow, Americans never really embraced the fibrous green, that is, until kale became the “hip” vegetable a mere few years ago. Boosted by health promotors and celebrities alike who sang the nutritious virtues of the lowly plant, a nationwide kale revolution occurred. In fact, kale’s newfound popularity has spawned a multitude of creative recipes which offer a taste of kale for just about every palate.  Available in an impressive array of strains, the kale plant can vary in color from green to purple, and the leaves range from smooth to frilly. The most common plant is “curly kale,” which boasts attractive, wavy edges. While the familiar green still dresses up meat platters, kale, as a superfood, has a higher calling. Attractive, rich in vitamins, and delicious, kale is a triple threat to its leafy cousins, broccoli and cauliflower.  ** Creative Kale: Spun into smoothies, swirled into stews, and crisped into chips, kale catapults the nutrition content of everything from appetizes to main courses. Kale’s contribution to tasty, healthy dishes should not be

She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. Helen spent her Saturdays enjoying tag sales and shopping; the treasures always finding their way to new homes with family members.

Hail to Kale underestimated. While the addition of kale into meat or vegetable soups is a culinary mainstay, substituting kale for broccoli in such main dishes as Broccoli and Macaroni, and Broccoli and Cheddar Soup ups kale’s credibility and earns rave reviews from diners. Not just a side dish, kale is the basis for numerous meals, the least of which is salad. Creamy soups, pickled greens, and crispy chips all transform the plant into mouthwatering fare. The big surprise is kale has become a trendy sweet treat – appearing in ice cream, cakes and dessert smoothies. ** Beyond the Dinner Plate: Kale is packed with lutein, which protects against toxins, which makes it an ideal skin treatment. In addition, kale is rich in anti-aging vitamins A, C, E and K. As a bonus, kale has copper, which is a popular ingredient in skin cream. Why not take kale from the salad bowl to the sink basin to experience its beauty benefits first hand? The following natural kale treatments are easy to make with no worries about chemical additions. Organic Kale Skin Mask: stimulates collagen production Anti-age creams containing lutein (a powerful antioxidant in kale) are pricey. Lutein has been known to boost collagen production, so why not go directly to the source and whip up your own organic version?   Ingredients: One pound washed organic kale, chopped; 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil; 1/4 cup heavy cream. Instructions: Boil kale (or microwave with a tablespoon of water) until softened. Puree drained kale, oil and cream until smooth. Apply to face or body and rest for 10 minutes. Rinse well.

*** Kale Detox Smoothie: encourages the release of the toxins  This healthy drink is int jam packed with nutrients that make detoxing KAREN delicious! TRAINOR Ingredients: one banana; one cup of pineapple; one cup of coconut water; two cups of baby kale; Instructions: Blend until smooth in a high powered blender or juicer. Serve over ice, if desired.  *** Kale Stats: Kale has earned the highest score of 1,000 on the ANDI (Aggregate Nutrient Density Index)! Here is the rundown on how kale ranks with the USDA Recommended Daily Dietary Allowances: Vitamin A: 206%; Vitamin K: 684%; Vitamin C: 134%; Manganese: 26%; Copper: 10%; Calcium: 9%; Vitamin B6: 9%; Potassium: 9%; Magnesium: 6%; Vitamin B1: 3% as well as traces of Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Iron and Phosphorus. *** Did you know? *Kale actually becomes sweeter after hit with a frost. *Thomas Jefferson was a kale trailblazer, growing several varieties of the vegetable in the early 19th century.  *A January 2015 blizzard caused a kale shortage in New York City as health conscious shoppers stripped grocery stores of the leafy greens. *Kale nail polish is the latest trend. *Kale has more vitamin C than an orange.  *Cooking kale doesn’t diminish any of its nutritional benefits. *One serving of kale contains 121 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids and 92.4 milligrams of omega-6 fatty acids.

set of Fiestaware dinnerware in there though. Fiestaware is a colorful line of ceramic glazed dinnerware that was first introduced in 1936. It was popular when we ran the sale over 25 years ago and remains popular now. Another estate that was packed with valuable items was the home of a doctor who had served in World War II. He was an eclectic collector and must have led an incredible life. The large home contained antiques and collectibles of all kinds. There was a National Berliner gramophone that brought over $6,000. There were records for it that averaged around $100 each. A smaller work by local impressionist artist Joseph Greenwood sold for $2,000. A small bud vase marked LCT by Louis Comfort Tiffany brought $1,000. Some

World War II artifacts also fetched about $1,000. The doctor was also a talented photographer who took pictures of the 1939 World’s Fair and some artistic nude photos. The photos brought over $1,000. The two things that I enjoy most about my job are making great finds like this when I look through an estate and when consignors are surprised when we pay them more than they expected after selling these great finds for them. We have posted many pictures of items in the August 31st live auction on www.centralmassauctions.com. More photos and details of other upcoming events will be forthcoming.

*There are over 50 varieties of kale. *Most of the kale in the U.S. is grown in California *** Kale Chips When it comes to a crunchy, salty snack, this recipe rivals commercial chip offerings, without the guilt! Ingredients: Fresh kale (or bag of precut kale); olive oil; seasonings Instructions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Separate kale leaves from ribs. Line cookie sheet with tinfoil or parchment paper. Spread kale on sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, rubbing oil on each leave. Sprinkle with coarse salt. Cook until crisped. Some like them lightly browned; others prefer them still green. Try other seasonings such as sprinkling a little cayenne pepper; Parmesan cheese; or garlic salt, etc.  *Note: Kale should not be ingested by those on blood thinning medications. *Ingesting too much kale can cause high levels of thallium, which can cause health problems. *** Win Dinner for Two Your tips can win you a great dinner for two at the historic Publick House Historic Inn in Sturbridge!

Evening of brews and fact filled film “Dairy farmers remain the backbone of the region’s agriculture, but fight for survival in an age of artisan cheese and kale.” Central Mass Grown is proud to present a tour of Whittier Farms in Sutton, a fifth generation diversified dairy farm, followed by an evening of draught brews and appetizers during the showing of Forgotten Farms. After the film, we will have a panel discussion with the film’s producer, Sarah Gardner, director Dave Simonds, Congressman Jim McGovern and

Wayne Whittier of Whittier Farms. The panel will discuss dairy farming in Worcester County, answer questions from the audience and offer reaction to the film.  New England has lost over 10,000 dairy farms in the past 50 years; fewer than 2,000 farms remain. Collectively, they tend 1.2 million acres of farmland and produce almost all of the milk consumed in New England. In our enthusiasm for the new food movement, we often overlook the farmers at the foundation of the regional agricultural economy. Only 100 years ago, New England produced most of its own food on 16 mil-

lion acres of farmland. Climate change will demand that more of our food is grown closer to where we live. As we strive to revive local production, we have much to learn from dairy farmers who have been managing most of the farmland and sustaining the farm economy all along. Through conversations with farmers and policy experts, the film reconsiders the role of these vital but forgotten farmers. Forgotten Farms gives us a glimpse into the past and a vision for a future regional food system. The documentary shows the cultural divide between the new food movement and

traditional farming, highlighting the need to examine differences, develop mutual understanding, and find common ground. A truly sustainable local food system that benefits everyone will rely on all of our farmers. The Farm Tour, led by Wayne Whittier and his crew will take place at his farm in Sutton from 3-4:30 pm. The film showing will begin at 6 pm. Tickets to the film can be purchased online at https://www.eventbrite. com/e/forgotten-farms-documentary-showing-tickets-33982012113?aff=eac2.

Douglas resident receives scholarship  BOSTON – Douglas resident Jennifer Peterson, received a $4,000 scholarship from the Grand Lodge of Masons in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Freemasons awarded 133 scholarships totaling $506,500 for the next academic year. The Grand Lodge awards scholarships based primarily on each applicant’s academic achievement, financial need, and broad participation in community and school activities.  Since beginning the scholarship program in 1995, Massachusetts Freemasons have distributed more than $8 million to enable full-time, undergraduate attendance at accredited educational institutions. “We need to invest in future

generations in order to realize the best version of our fraternal legacy,” said Paul F. Gleason, Grand Master of Masons in Massachusetts. “We recognize the importance and impact post-secondary education has on young people. We are proud to contribute through this initiative and wish the recipients the best of luck as they pursue their education at schools throughout the country.” Jennifer is studying business at Valparaiso University in Indiana. Her father David is a member of Mumford River Lodge in East Douglas. Jennifer also belongs to Oxford Assembly #89 of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, a sorority for young women between the ages of 11 and 20 sponsored in

part by the Freemasons. The scholarship program represents just one of the many charitable efforts undertaken by Freemasons throughout North America, resulting in contributions of approximately $3 million every day, more than 70% of which benefits the general public.  Among their works are the Shriners Hospitals for Children, with 22 sites throughout North America; almost 225 Learning Centers throughout the country helping children with dyslexia and communication  disorders; the Masonic Youth Child Identification Program (MyCHIP) providing families with a videotape recording, fingerprints, Toothprints, and DNA swab to help find and identify a lost

child - to date more than 300,000 Massachusetts children have participated; and, the Masonic Angel Foundation, developed in 1998 by Universal Lodge in Orleans, and licensed in 11 states,  giving modest assistance to children in local communities who do not fit the criteria for usual social-services.  Freemasonry seeks to bring together men of varying backgrounds in order to help them discover and become the best versions of themselves. During the Masonic initiation ceremony, members are encouraged to value high principles of ethics and morality so that they may live their lives accordingly. The Grand Lodge of Massachusetts represents over 36,000 members and more than 220 lodges throughout

Fly fishing is for more than brooks and streams… try it for the ocean The Great Outdoors RALPH TRUE Fly fishing for trout and salmon are a lot of fun. This writer was introduced to fly fishing by the late Bill Todd of Douglas back when I was only 17 years old. Bill sold me my first fly rod and reel for $ 10 and he gave me a few flies to get me started. The rod was a Heddon Black Beauty 7 ft. rod that was equipped with a Cortland fly line double taper. Fishing Riley’s Pond for trout soon had me believing that fly fishing was the only way to fish. The pond was stocked with trout annually by the Whitinsville Fish & Game Club. I soon found myself fly fishing for trout every weekend at Hopkinton and Ashland Reservoir with the late Horace Bassett, Bob Campo and Richard Bosma. Pulling on a pair of waders to fish most waters, provided me with the ability to roll cast a good distance from shore, which was necessary to reach the rising trout. Tying my own trout flies for my fishing activities was a lot of fun, and I still tie some of my own saltwater jigs for fluke fishing. Creating my own patterns of trout flies saved me a lot of money over the years, and the satisfaction of creating a fly that caught fish was exciting. Trolling streamer

Bonita is out there if you can hook one.

flies on Lake Ontario caught huge brown trout, when other anglers were coming up empty handed. Soon I found myself fishing the ocean for stripers with a fly rod hoping to catch a schoolie striper. A ten weight rod, and a sinking fly line that had a shooting taper was necessary to place the fly out to the school of stripers. That was when I was young and I was in a lot better condition to cast the fly. Today I fish live bait or fish chunks for stripers, occasionally using live eels to catch big stripers. I really never caught a big striper on a fly and was happy to hook into an occasional schoolie striper. This week’s picture shows Jim Lavallie with a 55 pound striper he caught on a fly back in the ‘90s. We were talking about some of our fishing adventures at the daily meeting of old timers last week at the Uxbridge Rod & Gun Club, and Jim could not wait to show me his trophy striper he caught on a fly. Not all stories are believable at the daily meetings, but he con-

vinced me that his story was true. Nice fish!!! Bonito and false albacore will soon be arriving along Massachusetts and Rhode Island’s coastline. Fly fishing anglers will soon be chasing schools of this streamlined hard fighting fish. The action only last a few weeks, so they need to get there fishing gear ready for the first sign of their arrival. Albacore and Bonito are not the best fish for table fare, but when cooked right they can provide some good eating. Hooking into one of these fish with a fly rod is really exciting. Light spinning rods equipped with a small lure like the Deadly Dick will also provide some exciting fishing opportunities. Give it a try !!      This week’s second picture shows the bonito, that has so many anglers fishing for them. Tuna fishing is picking up in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island waters. Rhode Island tuna fishing has produced some nice bluefin tuna at the canyons.

Tautog fishing reopened on Aug. 1, and should start providing some great fishing. Seabass and large fluke are still being caught in deeper water. This past week this writer and Harry Salmon hooked into some nice 5 pound seabass and fluke up to 24 inches off the Point Judith Light. We were fishing in 90 feet of water!!! Had numerous draggers fishing alongside of us, but we still managed to catch some nice fish. We also had a Federal game warden greet us at the

ramp. He was extremely professional and courteous. Checking out our fish was no problem, and he took time to discuss some of our concerns about fishing regulations.

Booster Club offering ice cream for breakfast! BY RAYANNE COOMBS

TRIBUNE CORRESPONDENT

WHITINSVILLE – With the start of school just around the corner, the Northbridge High School Booster Club is back to business, and planning many fun events for families in the community. To kick off their fundraising season, the club will be hosting an Ice Cream for Breakfast event on Saturday, Sept. 9, at the Northbridge Middle School Rams Shack, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Heather Hogan, NHS Booster Club secretary said, “As most of us are well aware the town has been deluged by fundraising in the last few years as schools, clubs, and other organizations look to raise enough money to stay afloat. We loved the idea of a fundraiser that hasn’t been done before as our kick-off to the school year. We also loved the idea of an event that the whole town could participate in. We hope to have lots of coaches as volunteer ice cream scoopers, and look forward to seeing lots of children and adults from the community at the event. After all, how can you say no to ice cream for breakfast? There will also be a JV football game kicking off at 11:00 right after our event.” The Booster Club works diligently year-round to support the athletics programs at Northbridge High School. Hogan said, “The club has been around for many years, and several years ago was restructured with a new set of bylaws and a new executive board and mission. Our mission is to encourage enthusiastic support and interest in NHS athletics, and to raise funds to support our student athletes and athlet-

ic programs, to award scholarships to graduating student athletes, and to lend support to the Director of Athletics.” Currently, the Booster Club has 50 active members and an executive board who are invested in supporting the present and future status of the athletic programs at NHS. Hogan said, “Our goal every year is to make enough money to be able to supply our teams with the ‘extras’ that aren’t covered in the ever-dwindling athletics budget. Many of the things we try to cover are often just the basics.” She explained, “We help replace uniforms that are falling apart and no longer look presentable. We supply basic equipment like balls and help replace equipment that is no longer useable. The coaches know that they can come to us with any request that is not covered in the school budget and we will do our best to make it happen. We also award scholarships to deserving senior student athletes every year. Our scholarship recipients are students who have been active student athletes all four years and whose parents have been active members of the Booster Club. Last year we awarded almost $5000 in scholarship money to deserving seniors.” The Club is open for all members of the community to join. Hogan said, “We do request a monetary donation of any amount or a snack/drink donation to our snack shack.” She went on to say, “We realize that some people are unable to or are not comfortable with making a huge time commitment to the club or volunteering in our Snack Shack.

Adonijah “Adi”, Gershwin & Zenyla are an African-American sibling group of three who are very close. Adi is a seven-year old boy who is sweet and personable. He loves to play with cars, drawing & playing on his brother’s tablet. After college he would like to become either the President of the United States or become a police officer. Adi is currently in first grade where he is on grade level. Gershwin is six-years old and is smart and expressive. Since living with his siblings in the same foster home Gershwin has made tremendous progress at preschool. He will enter Kindergarten in the fall. Gershwin loves playing racing games on his tablet and riding his bike. Zenyla, age four, is personable and funny. She loves to dance! She also loves to draw and “read” books aloud based on the pictures. Zenyla currently attends preschool, which she enjoys. Legally freed for adoption, their social worker is open to exploring single or two parent families who feel they can help the children remain connected to family members that are important to them. It would be reasonable to expect the children would need to return a few times a year to Massachusetts if matched out of state. Their social worker is seeking a family where the siblings would be the only children or the youngest children. Who Can Adopt? Can you provide the guidance, love and stability that a child needs? If you’re at least 18 years old, have a stable source of income, and room in your heart, you may be a perfect match to adopt a waiting child. Adoptive parents can be single, married, or partnered; experienced or not; renters or homeowners; LGBTQ singles and couples. The process to adopt a child from foster care requires training, interviews, and home visits to determine if adoption is right for you, and if so, to help connect you with a child or sibling group that your family will be a good match for. To learn more about adoption from foster care, call the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) at 617-964-MARE (617-964-6274) or visit www.mareinc.org. The sooner you call, the sooner a waiting child will have “a permanent place to call HOME.”

a new day, and all are welcome.” To celebrate the merging of the parishes a concert is planned on Aug. 25, at 7:00 p.m., at the St. John’s Episcopal Church, in Sutton. Tickets are $25, and all proceeds will benefit four charities chosen by the parishioners of St. John’s and St. Andrew’s. The band that will be performing is “Runaway Home.” Beth Piper, an active parishioner of St. John’s Episcopal Church and coordinator of the concert, explained how she came up with the idea for the concert, “My ini-

tial idea for the concert was born out of a desire to create an event that would help to foster new relationships amongst members of both parishes, while at the same time raising money for some worthy charities that both congregations regularly support. My thoughts immediately went to my longtime friend, Gary Culley.” Piper explained, “Having been born and raised in Whitinsville, I graduated from Northbridge High School with Gary. After graduating from Berklee College of Music, Gary moved to

Blackstone Valley Tribune

Nashville, TN to pursue a career in music. It was in Nashville that Gary met Mr. Mark Elliott and the two have been making music together for over 26 years, founding their band called ‘Runaway Home’ whose style they refer to as a Panoramic Americana. The thought occurred to me that since they are on a tour of upstate New York in August, perhaps they would agree to perform a concert at St. John’s church.” Piper added, “It’s a ‘coming home’ of sorts for Gary, and a perfect way to gather our community together and

raise money for charity. In one phone call, the band responded with an enthusiastic ‘yes!’ and after approval from the combined vestries, the planning began.” Runaway Home will perform at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Sutton, on Friday, August 25, at 7pm. Tickets are $25.00 each. The proceeds will be split equally among four charities, which are Bernice’s Community Cupboard, Be Like Brit, Connect Africa, and Worcester Fellowship.

They also reviewed the 7 Themes of Catholic Social Teaching which are central to our faith. It is based on our understanding of human life and human dignity and that everyone is invaluable and worthy of respect as a member of the human family. For this ‘mission’ we focused on the principle ‘Concern for the Poor and Vulnerable’. Our

goal with Mission KidPossible is to teach children these principles, the principles of social justice, and how they CAN make a difference in their community and indeed the world.” Swartz went on to explain that the Children’s Ministry is busy throughout the year, “The children will be doing a variety of service projects this year. They will always focus on serving anyone who is in need of services to provide them their basic human rights and preserving human dignity. The kids will be discussing different opportunities for their upcoming projects and they will

The committee has begun evaluating potential sites for the school building project and have narrowed down to a shortlist of four publicly owned sites and three privately owned sites in Northbridge. Site evaluation was based on a list of criteria including buildable area (Acres), wetlands, flood zones, topography, soils, site Utilities (water, electric), availability of two-way access, safety, busing, land acquisition cost, and any “Fatal Flaws” that would immediately raise a red flag. The top four public sites included the current Balmer School site (21 Crescent

Another strong year closes in Auburn Recreation and Culture Girls’ Basketball Summer League BY KEN POWERS

SPORTS CORRESPONDENT

AUBURN — As the calendar changed from July to August, the Auburn Recreation and Culture Girls’ Basketball Summer League put the finishing touches on another successful season. Woodstock Academy of Connecticut, the No. 4 seed in the league’s playoff structure, defeated second-seeded Quabbin Regional of Barre, 33-22, in the championship game, played at Pappas Gymnasium Tuesday, Aug. 1. The Centaurs reached the final by defeating top-seeded Tantasqua Regional, 44-38, in the semifinal round five days prior. The Panthers earned their place in the final by knocking off third-seeded Millbury High — the four-time defending champion — in the other semifinal, 28-25. Woodstock, which was ahead of Quabbin, 14-7, at the half, was led in scoring by Heather Converse, who tossed in a teamhigh 10 points, Makenzie Cayer, who added nine, and Arianna Koivisto, who chipped in with eight. Quabbin was led by Michelle Riley, who poured in a game-high 15 points. “It was really cool to see Woodstock come back and win it this year, after making the final last year,” said Kristen Pappas, who, as Auburn’s Recreation and Culture Director, runs the league. “Millbury was a great champion, though, having won the title four years in a row. I did feel bad for Quabbin, though, in the

final, because they were without a few of their key players. I thought, despite that, they played a good game.” In addition to the four semifinalists, the 10-team league features squads from Oxford High, David Prouty Regional, the Whitinsville Christian School, Grafton High, Douglas High and the Rising Stars AAU team of Worcester. Pappas, always looking for ways to improve the league, is hoping to expand for 2018. “I’d like to add a couple more teams and make it a 12-team league,” she said. “We’re hoping to maybe add Leicester into the league next year and, who knows, maybe Auburn will come back. Auburn is currently playing in the outdoor league over in Shrewsbury. It’s very disappointing for me to see that, being an alumnus of the Auburn public school system.” Pappas explained that members of the Auburn High girls’ basketball team aren’t participating in the Auburn Summer League because the league’s TuesdayThursday schedule conflicts with a summer soccer league some of the girls are playing in as well. “I’m just disappointed because I think Auburn girls should be playing right here in Auburn,” Pappas said, “not over in Shrewsbury.” Pappas said she would also be open to the idea of the two league champions — Auburn’s and Shrewsbury’s — play each other in a championship series. “I think that would be a

great idea,” she said. Pappas also took time to thank the efforts of all the officials who work in the league during the summer season. “All the officials do a great job; they’re very professional and they

come in here every night and give their best effort and we really appreciate that,” she said. “I think two in particular; [Auburn Police] Officer Jon O’Brien and Jerry Patraitis have been instrumental in the suc-

cess of our league. “Jon is our head official and as such, he coordinates and oversees the assigning of all the officials for all the games, from Game 1 to tonight’s championship game. He’s phenomenal; I’m grateful

to have him. And Jerry, I think he works every night of the league every year. The two of them are known as Jon and Jerry, but they’re more like Tom and Jerry,” Pappas said with a devilish laugh.

Legends enshrined in Cooperstown at Baseball Hall of Fame COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — Over the July 28-31 weekend the Baseball Hall of Fame inducted its most recent class.

Prevent Isolation As You Age!

Getting out and meeting people can be good for your health at any age. (NAPS)

Did you know that an estimated one in five adults over age 50 are affected by isolation? This is a problem, as research has shown that prolonged isolation can be as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day—and these negative health consequences of chronic isolation may be especially harmful for older adults. Here are some suggestions to combat the problem of social isolation and loneliness: • Nurture and strengthen existing relationships; invite people over for coffee or call them to suggest a trip to a museum or to see a movie. • Schedule a time each day to call or visit someone. • Meet your neighbors. • Don’t let being a nondriver stop you from staying active. Find out about transportation options. • Use social media to stay in touch or write letters.

• Stay physically active. • Take a class. • Revisit an old hobby. • Volunteer. • Visit a senior or community center to see what’s going on. • Check out faith-based organizations’ groups and events. To connect to aging services and programs in your area: Contact the Eldercare Locator, a public service of the U.S. Administration on Aging, a part of the Administration for Community Living. This nationwide service is a trusted gateway to connect older adults and their caregivers with local resources for older adults. Call the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-6771116 to speak with a knowledgeable Information Specialist or visit the website www.eldercare.gov to find local resources on a broad range of topics and access help today.

Help Your Kid Say No To Underage Drinking (NAPS)

How do you prepare your child with the knowledge, skills and confidence to say no to alcohol? The task can seem challenging, but you as a parent or caregiver do not have to feel powerless. You can take action to help your child make healthy decisions that prevent underage drinking. While the rates are declining, alcohol is the most widely misused substance among America’s youth and underage drinking remains a serious concern in the U.S. The 2016 Report to Congress on the Prevention and Reduction of Underage Drinking finds that youth start drinking at an early age. Although the peak years of underage drinking happen from 7th to 11th grade, 10 percent of 9- to 10-year-olds have already started drinking and nearly one-fifth of underage drinkers begin before age 13. The report also finds that any alcohol use can have serious c ­onsequences for young people. It contributes to risky sexual behavior and increases the risk of suicide and using other drugs. It can negatively impact brain development, which can have lifelong effects. It can increase the risk for heavy drinking later in life. And underage drinking can result in arrest or, worse yet, death from drunk driving or alcohol poisoning. So what’s behind this issue? There are many reasons young people are tempted to drink, including peer pressure. Underage drinking typically happens in a group, and for adolescents the desire to fit in is powerful. Other risk factors include having a history of social and emotional problems, such as depression, and a family history of substance abuse. Trying to cope with difficult life transitions, such as divorce in the family or moving from middle to high school, can also

trigger underage drinking. The first-ever Surgeon General’s Re­­ port on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health shows how parents are a leading influence in a child’s decision about whether to drink. How Parents Can Help 1. Be a positive role model. Children learn from observing and that starts at home. Don’t let your child see you misuse alcohol or drugs, and get help if you think you have a substance use problem. Even if you have misused drugs or alcohol in the past, you can still have an open conversation about their dangers and the reasons to stay away from them. In addition, keep

temptation away by safeguarding alcohol and medications at home so they are not accessible to your child. 2. Strengthen family bonds. Be involved in your child’s life and spend more time together. Show interest in your child’s activities and plan ones you can do together based on their interests, such as attending sports games or having family movie or game nights. Know your child’s daily routine in and out. Get to know your child’s friends and friends’ parents, so you can share your rules about not allowing any form of alcohol or substance use. 3. Encourage your child

to get involved in extracurricular activities. In the same way, support your child’s involvement in school clubs, such as debate or yearbook, team sports or other outside interests. Doing so will help build your child’s confidence, respect, leadership, sportsmanship and ability to work with others. Also, keeping your child engaged in positive activities helps avoid the chance that idle time is filled with potentially dangerous behavior. 4. Balance your child’s independence with safe boundaries. Provide daily encouragement to your child to boost self-esteem and confidence.

Find ways for your child to have more responsibility in family life, such as doing chores or caring for a younger sibling. Set clear expectations, including about alcohol and drug use. Create a pledge between you and your child that commits your child to not drink or use drugs. 5. Talk to your children regularly about alcohol. Young people are more likely to listen when they know you’re on their side. Try to reinforce why you don’t want your child to drink—not just because you say so but because you want them to be happy and safe. The conversation will go a lot better if you’re working with, and not against, your child. Keep it low key. Don’t worry about getting everything across in one talk. Many small talks are ­better. Help for Parents If you are worried your child may be involved with alcohol or drugs, it’s important to seek professional guidance. Your pediatrician can be a first-stop resource. There are also many online resources to help you better understand the issue of underage drinking and talk to and encourage your kid to stay away from alcohol. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has underage drinking prevention resources specifically for parents and caregivers at www. samhsa.gov/underage-drinking. This includes access to SAMHSA’s free app for parents called “Talk. They Hear You” to help prepare you to talk to your kid about underage drinking through practice drills. By being proactive and following the suggestions described here, you can help strengthen your child’s resistance to alcohol. Take the first step by making the commitment to talk together today.

415 BUSINESS SERVICES Seeking area residents interested in having an on-site, professional review of their private wells. This service is grant funded by the USEPA. It is free and is confidential. Many times well owners are unaware of the possible causes of contamination in their wells. Older wells may not be sealed properly near the surface or their source of water may be shallow and influenced by things like feedlots, septic systems, or nearby land uses. Many things at or near the surface could impact the water quality of a well. This assessment provides you a comprehensive evaluation of the possible causes of contamination at or near your well to help you understand what possible risks and vulnerabilities you should be aware of that might impact your drinking water. The assessment considers site conditions, geology, land use practices, well construction, and maintenance to provide you with a detailed list of things, if any, that could impact your well water quality. The results will provide you a list of possible concerns, if any are found, and recommendations and best practices that will help you keep your well and your family safe from well contamination.
