UXBRIDGE — Some Whitin Elementary School students have been busy over the summer with cafeteria worker Joann Silvia, in tending to their garden up on Sutton Street in the Uxbridge Community Garden on a weekly basis. Pictured are the students with WES Principal Lori Fafard and their scarecrow. Congratulations to these students for winning the People’s Choice Award in the scarecrow competition. The scarecrow was named “Jake the Warrior Scarecrow.”


Regional school districts will see a dramatic boost in transportation reimbursements from Beacon Hill, as the recently passed fiscal 2015 state budget includes $70.2 million for regional transportation funding. The funding will allow

regional school districts such as Tantasqua, Dudley-Charlton, Bay Path and Blackstone Valley Tech to be reimbursed for 90 percent of their bussing and transportation costs, the highest in many years. The number reflects a $25 million increase over the last two budget cycles. In

fiscal year 2013 regional school transportation statewide was funded at $45.5 million, and last fiscal year was at $51.5 million. Each district will see a 26-percent increase in regional transportation funding this fiscal year, taking Dudley-Charlton from $1.5 million to $2.1

School districts see uptick in transportation funding BY AMANDA COLLINS

NORTHBRIDGE — When the going gets tough, the tough get digging, planting, hoeing and watering. That was all it took to get the Northbridge Association of Churches (NAC) community garden up and running, according to Northbridge High School teacher and garden coordinators Sherri Travers — a little hard work and planning. During an interview last week, Travers said students came through 10-fold two years ago, when the NAC reached out to Travers and the school in desperate need of not only fresh produce, but food in general, as the pantry shelves dwindled in stock. She said from there, the kids not only made a plan to fundraise for the local food collective, but created a business plan that would help sustain the pantry in the years to come. Travers said this

NORTHBRIDGE — If laughter is the best medicine, music might come a close second for one Whitinsville native who will return to the stage this month after a yearslong battle with cancer. Spencer resident Buzz Tremblay is “back and backed” as the posters for the upcoming New Bay Colony show say. He said he is set to perform with the band he has known and loved for almost 40 years on Friday, Aug. 22, at the Blackstone National Golf Club in Sutton from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Tremblay said he had to take a break from music during his four-year war with pancreatic cancer, which is he is still living with and managing today. “I will always have tumors somewhere,” said Tremblay, who is glad to be feeling better and even happier to be back in the swing with the local music scene. “It is eventually just a matter of time, but right now, there are

U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern joined local leaders and residents of Northbridge on a walking tour Tuesday, Aug. 12.

NORTHBRIDGE — On Tuesday, Aug. 12, U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern joined State Sen. Richard Moore, the U.S. National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), local leaders and residents of Northbridge on a walking tour to highlight the town’s rich history and tour local businesses. “Northbridge is steeped in history and tradition,” said McGovern. “I want thank local residents for the warm welcome and for sharing their stories and memories of their town with me. Those stories and these people are what make Northbridge such a special place.” “I was particularly touched by the efforts Northbridge has undertaken to honor its fallen soldiers,” said McGovern after visiting the David Casey Memorial and other war memorials. McGovern was joined by Moore; Ranger Chuck Arning, NPS; David Parr, FEMA; Rosemary Scrivens,

Regional Director of MA Office of Business Development; Jeannie Hebert, President and CEO Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce; Catherine Stickney, Superintendent of Northbridge Schools; Carol Brouwer, Chairman of the Northbridge Historical Society, local business leaders and residents of Northbridge. After touring Boston Bumper Supply and Irrigation Automation Systems, Congressman McGovern stated, “These small businesses are the backbone of our communities and we are lucky to have such successful companies located right here.” The tour culminated at the Northbridge Fire Department where FEMA Representative David Parr pre-

sented Fire Chief Gary Nestor with a $712,500 Assistance to Firefighters Grant award to purchase a new aerial ladder fire truck. “This large federal grant will allow Chief Nestor and his department to substantially upgrade their fleet. It’s critical that we provide local first responders with the resources they need to protect our communities,” said McGovern. “The federal government must be a partner in that effort. I will continue to be a strong supporter of this Assistance to Firefighter Grant program, and I’ll work to maintain its funding in Congress.” This is the fourth community tour that Congressman McGovern has participated in this summer.

“As senators representing a number of regional school districts, we have long advocated that the state should keep its promise to those regions to fully reimburse the cost of transporting students — a promise that was made as an incentive to communities who joined regional school districts. Now that Sen. Brewer and I are both in leadership posts, we have the clout to urge our colleagues to honor that long-held, but rarely kept, commitment to the more rural areas of the Commonwealth.” - Sen. Richard Moore, commenting the recently passed fiscal 2015 state budget, which includes $70.2 million for regional transportation funding.

‘March for Independence’ makes stop in area towns BY CHELSEA DAVIS

VILLAGER CORRESPONDENT

The Oakham Historical Association hosted a 16.5-mile March for Independence on Saturday, Aug. 9, to follow in some historic footsteps, stopping in a few area towns. “It’s been a very nice walk,” said New Braintree resident Greg Dwelly after reaching the five-mile mark at Browning Pond in Spencer. “We’ve gotten to see a lot of the beautiful countryside.” The march began at 8 a.m. on Aug. 9 at Oakham Town Hall and proceeded 16.5 miles, where it ended at 4 p.m. at the Worcester Historical Museum on Elm Street. The event was part of a bigger celebration hosted by the Worcester Revolution of 1774, which celebrates the revolution in Worcester that shut down the British courts. “There’s a festival set for Sept. 7 in honor of the Worcester Revolution of 1774,” said Oakham Historical Association participant Edie Mathis. “This is our contribution to it.” At Oakham Town Hall, participants in their 1774 Revolution T-shirts and others clad in 1770’s vintage clothing gathered to set off on the long hike. “It’s such a beautiful day outside,” Mathis said. “The event started with a horse and a costumed rider who led the way for about a mile. We also had a flutist play ‘The Star Spangled Banner,’ and she set us on our way with marching music.” The idea for the event came from Lee Dougan, a participant in the Oakham

Historical Association. “The Worcester Revolution of 1774 was looking for the communities to have some sort of event in conjunction with their own,” Dougan explained. “A lot of towns had scheduled guest speakers, but no one had actually said they would walk the same route.” So with the idea to follow in the same footsteps as the men of 1774 did, the association had 40 people from many different towns sign up to participate. Of the 4,622 men that came in defiance of the British Crown, 936 men travelled this same route, reads the information sheet provided by the Oakham Historical Association. Men came from 37 towns in the area during the revolution in 1774, including Spencer, Sturbridge, Grafton, Uxbridge and Oakham. “We had walkers from all over today as well,” Mathis said. Some added benefits from the 21st cen-

tury included two stops along the way with portable toilets, food and water bottles for the hikers. Mathis added that when the revolution occurred in 1774, it was done peacefully and no casualties are documented. “The men were asked to leave their muskets and weapons outside of the Town of Worcester,” Mathis said. Participants of the event enjoyed the hike, especially and including the oldest hiker at the event, 82-year-old Malcolm Ide, of Oakham. “I had my hip replaced two years ago, and I still do a lot of hiking,” Ide said as he grabbed his trekking poles, “but the walk so far has been wonderful.” He also boasted about the other participants and their attitudes about the hike. “We’ve got a great camaraderie going on here,” Ide said. “I’ve met a lot of nice people and I’m enthused about the whole thing.” Oakham Historical Association President Jeff Young thanked the participants and all of those involved in putting the walk together. “It’s great to be able to walk the same path of an event that is so little known about,” Young said. The Worcester Revolution of 1774 will be celebrated in Worcester on Sunday, Sept. 7, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Institute Park.

Stop capturing, start enjoying Amanda’s Musings AMANDA COLLINS This is probably going to sound overthe-top sappy and silly romantic, and it kind of was. One night last week, after dark, for no reason at all, my boyfriend and I took a drive to one of our favorite hiking trails, wandered into the woods and plopped ourselves down in an open field to look at the stars. The weather was perfect, the sky was cloudless, and out in the middle of nowhere, there was not another person in sight. Not a bad way to spend a Thursday night. In the span of about an hour we saw three shooting stars and even watched the moon rise. I’ve never actually slowed down enough to witness that, but even though it happened right before my eyes, I almost missed it. You see, as I sat there in the middle of nature under a starlit sky, I wasn’t completely disconnected — tucked in my back pocket, as always, was my cellphone. And as the glowing tangerine-colored moon began to peek above the trees, I fumbled to find it, open the camera and hit record. For a few minutes I sat there, holding this little pocket-sized computer up at the sky, feeling completely frustrated that I couldn’t zoom in close enough or steady my hand. Finally I stopped, realizing that my urge to capture the moment was interfering with my actually enjoying it. As we trekked back to the car, I couldn’t help but wonder how many other times I’ve faced this digital dilemma. How many times have stopped doing something wonderful so that I could pause to “capture” it? How many amazing things have seen through my phone, instead of with my eyes? Looking back, I probably do it pretty often. I mean, I even missed grooving to my favorite song at a Paul Simon concert recently so that I could record instead. Was the shaky video with terrible sound quality worth missing the chance to dance in the aisle? Probably not. We live in an age that makes it easy – and tempting – to document everything. From the little things like what we’re eating to dinner, to the big things, like the birth of a baby, we often have our smartphones and tablets out to shoot it and share it. I can’t be the only person who finds a screen between myself and a moment far too often. I know I’m not alone in missing out on an experience because I was preoccupied with recording it. I’m really going to try to stop — starting now. A few minutes ago I deleted the wobbly video of the amazing moon rise that I was about to send to my mom. I think I’ll just tell her about it instead.

New hunting seasons are on the horizon The recent change in temperatures are a sure sign that hunting adventures in New England are on our doorstep. The first segment of the Massachusetts goose-hunting season is set to start on Sept. 2, allowing a seven-bird daily bag limit. Although very few birds are residing in our area at this time, it will not be long before they take up residence at local hay fields and corn fields shortly after they are cut. Waterfowl hunters need to remember that a state and federal stamp is required to hunt. A federal stamp is now available at your local post office for a fee of $15 and the state stamp can be purchased at any licensing agency or online. Steel shot is required for all waterfowl hunting as well as other non-toxic shot. Shotguns can hold no more than three shots. Decoys are a big factor in hunter success as well as gaining access to areas that geese use daily for their feeding grounds. Goose decoys that are a few years old need to have the white part of the bird given a fresh coat of paint. Goose blinds need to be checked annually to insure that they are in good shape for the upcoming season. Shotguns need to be checked and taken to a range to insure that they are working properly, and sportsmen need to do some shooting at their local gun range to brush up on their marksmanship. Uxbridge, Singletary, Wallum Lake and the Whitinsville Fish & Game Club all have weekend and night shooting on their ranges, for members and non-members to brush up on their shooting skills. One thing that I have noticed over the last 10 years or so is that flight birds are

not as common as they The Great were. I could sit in my Outdoors back yard and watch hundreds RALPH of geese fly TRUE over and many would drop from the sky to rest on the West River a short distance from my house. Also, the large flocks of geese are also missing from the sky while I am out hunting in local fields. As the second season of goose hunting arrives, resident geese become the birds that provide the most shooting, and they are often large birds known as greater geese. Dropping these large birds as they fly over your goose blind is extremely exciting, and they are a mouthful for the dog to bring back. Ten- to 12-pound birds are not rare and provide plenty of table fare for the hunter. The simple task of breasting out the birds can be done in a few minutes each. Cooking the meat is simple but I will wait for another column to discuses them. If you are fortunate enough to own a dog, daily exercise and brushing up on their training is always a good thing prior to the hunting season. I cannot imagine going hunting with out a good bird dog at my side. Their company and their skills in the field make the day just that much more enjoyable. Sitting in my goose blind with my young dog Twig will hopefully provide me with the same thrills and excitement that the previous dogs gave me. Getting old

does have its advantages and disadvantages, but at the end of the day, I realize how lucky I have been to enjoy waterfowl hunting over the years, and hope that there are a lot more of them left to enjoy. Just sitting in a cornfield enjoying the sunrise with my dog at my side, and a flock of geese making a pass over the decoys provides the ultimate satisfaction at my age. Duck hunting is also a great outdoor activity and is set to open on Oct. 14 this year. With a good population of wood ducks in the Central District and the daily bag limit set at three birds, they provide the most action for local duck hunters. Thanks to the work of sportsmen and Mass. Fish & Wildlife, this magnificent bird has made a great comeback locally. The erection of wood duck nesting boxes are one of the main reasons for their high population, and the protection of wetlands has helped dramatically to insure their population

continues to grow. In my younger years, black ducks and mallards were in good supply, but for some reason have not been as plentiful in our local marshes today. Interbreeding of mallards and blacks is also common, making their identification a problem blind for hunters. Antlerless deer permits are being purchased weekly by hunters that have applied for them, but many are winning the permits and fail to finalize the transaction with the paying of the fee. Last year many hunters failed to finalize their doe tags, resulting in wasted tags and a smaller deer harvest. This year, more deer tags were made available in some zones to alleviate the problem. Zone 9 had 100 percent of the permits given to all applicants that applied. Go online to purchase yours. The Canal stayed red hot for striper fishermen for the last two weeks and the Block Island anglers were still catching a lot of big fish also. The Uxbridge Rod & Gun Club will hold a chicken dinner feed this Saturday, Aug. 23, starting at 1 p.m. at the club grounds. A few tickets will be available the day of the supper. The Singletary Rod & Gun Club will host their annual field day and clambake this Sunday Aug. 24. The grounds open at 11 a.m. The public is invited to attend. Good food and games will be available and a live country band will be providing the music for the day. Plenty of free parking and free admission to the grounds. Take a kid fishing and keep them rods bending!

An update on local budget items As I write this, formal sessions for the 2013-14 legislative session have ended. In election years, the Legislature concludes formal sessions on July 31, recessing, except in cases of emergency, until January of the following year. I wanted to provide a brief update on some budget items we were able to successfully advocate for in the budget that was recently signed by Gov. Deval Patrick. The budget that is adopted each year includes two main components — budgetary matters and legislative matters that are contained in “outside sections.” I’d first like to briefly discuss two outside sections that I proposed that were adopted in the budget. Both are related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) otherwise known as Obamacare. Due to the complexity of the ACA, a new job position called a “Navigator” has arisen. ACA Navigators help people understand their health care coverage options and assist them with the enrollment process. People share personal information such as Social Security numbers, income and asset information and other information with ACA Navigators. This type of information in the wrong hands could lead to fraud and/or identity theft. A study in California found dozens of convicted felons who were working as ACA Navigators, including several who were convicted of embezzlement

charges. Imagine guest the damage an commentary unscrupulous naviKEVIN gator can KUROS do with your or your loved ones’ personal information! Faced with this possibility, I offered and had adopted an outside section that will require Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) checks for ACA Navigators, making Massachusetts the 17th state to offer such protections to its citizens. A second outside section I authored that was adopted also involves the ACA. Since the implementation of the ACA, a new 2.3-percent tax is levied on medical device manufacturers for the products they produce, to help fund the ACA. This has a negative impact on an industry that is very important to Massachusetts. The Commonwealth’s Medical Device Manufacturing industry is the third largest in the country, employing approximately 100,000 people either directly or indirectly, and accounting for 14 percent of all products shipped from Massachusetts. The outside section I authored creates a commission to explore offering a tax credit or incentives to medical device companies to encourage further expansion of the industry in

the Commonwealth. It is my hope that if a credit is found to be financially viable and implemented, that Massachusetts will become an even greater magnet for these high-paying jobs! In regards to budgetary items, we were able to find a creative solution to what I feel was an unnecessary problem. In the spring, the Legislature adopted a “Local Aid Resolution” which provided a baseline commitment of local aid to cities and towns long before the budget process was complete. This resolution committed to a modest increase in local aid. The objective in prior years when local aid resolutions were passed, was to give the towns a “floor” number that they can plan around for their spring town meeting budget approvals, but with the understanding that if the revenue picture improved by the time the budget was finalized, that the numbers from the local aid resolution could be increased in the final budget. However, this year was different. This year, the budget order (the rules by which we must play when crafting the budget) included an unprecedented cap on Unrestricted Local Aid and Chapter 70 (school) Aid. Essentially, any amendments that attempted to increase either of these critically important line items above the amount that was proposed by the House Ways & Means Committee would be ruled out of order. As a former selectman, my top budget priority has always been advocating for

local aid. Faced with a political roadblock for the two largest local aid line items, I sought and found a work-around to the problem. I introduced over 10 amendments to increase other local aid items that were not specifically limited by the budget order to the Ways & Means proposal. I am pleased to report that the final budget included increases to five of those line items I offered amendments for public libraries, regional school transportation, veteran’s services, fire services, and SMART Growth reimbursement. While not every community benefits from every line item, I felt it was important to return as much money as possible to the cities and towns of the Commonwealth. Of particular note to our neighboring towns of Blackstone and Millville is the record funding for Regional Transportation, which is now funded at approximately 90 percent reimbursement. In closing, while formal legislative sessions are complete until next year, I and my staff will still be available to help you. You can reach me at (774) 4950538 or through my website at www. kevinkuros.com. You may also see me on your doorstep as I take my message of independent thinking and fiscal conservatism to my constituents throughout the summer. Have a great September!

Tasty tips for corn on the cob There’s nothing quite as delicious as biting into a piping hot ear of freshly picked corn on the cob! Sweet corn is one of summer’s pleasures, and the annual crop of native corn is a highly anticipated event. Thanks to area farm stands and Farmers Markets, plump ears of golden corn are plentiful — and a tasty treat worth waiting for! This week’s column will review some tried and true tips to make the most of the short corn season, from picking prime corn on the cob to preserving the irresistible ears! *** Evaluating Ears: Ripping down the husk to inspect corn is a definite no-no in the marketplace. To ensure a quality ear, look for bright green husks that are slightly moist. The silk should be slightly sticky and a pale golden color. If you press gently against the husk you should be able to feel the kernels. *** Cob Check: Look for corn with lots of silk, as that means there are lots of kernels inside! Also check out the bottom of the ear, where it was cut off the stalk. If it is brown, the ear was likely not picked that day. *** Sneak Peek: Some farm stands sell ears with a bit of the husk pulled back to reveal the corn kernels (and to prevent customers from stripping the husks). If corn is exposed this way, look for plump kernels in even rows. *** Corn Rules: Did you know corn on the cob will lose up to 25% of its sugar content after just six hours of storage at room temperature? That is because from the moment it is picked, the sugar in the corn begins to convert to starch. To keep corn at optimum taste, keep corn chilled at about

36 degrees.

Take

and enjoy. *** Steaming Hot: Steaming corn is a favored way to serve up fresh corn on the cob. If you don’t have a steamer, simply put about two inches of water in a large stock pot. Stand ears upright in the pan. Cover and cook on high until water boils. Turn off heat and allow to steam with cover on for about 7 to 9 minutes.

*** the Expired Ears: The golden rule int of corn on the cob is it should KAREN be eaten the same TRAINOR day it is picked. If that’s not possible, keep it refrigerated and use within three days to ensure *** good taste. Boiled Over: Boiling corn is another *** Halt Husking: Never husk corn until favorite cooking method. For a new twist you’re just ready to cook it. While strip- to conventional boiled corn, try leaving the ping the husks off in the supermarket husk on when you boil the ears to retain may be a tempting convenience (especially sweetness.

Keep corn boils, then cover and turn off burner. Let in the refrigerator with the husks intact sit a few minutes, husk and enjoy. Here is a more traditional method of until you can cook it. This helps to slow down the sugar to starch conversion, thus boiling corn: Completely cover corn with water, and wait until water is at a full boil maintaining its sweetness longer. before adding ears. Never salt the water, *** Corn Conversion: Need one cup of cut as that can toughen the kernels. Want to kernels? It will take about two ears of add heighten sweetness of bland corn? Add medium sized corn on the cob to equal a a teaspoon or two of sugar to the boiling water. Cook for three to five minutes. cup.

*** Cooking Corn — The debate continues as to the best way to cook corn on the cob to perfection. Here are a few suggestions to turning out a mouth-watering ear. *** Hot on the Grill: Many backyard chefs contend grilling corn with the husk aids in retaining its flavor. To do: Peel back husks form the corn, remove silk, leaving a few layers of husk on the corn. Spread butter over each ear of corn, if desired. Fold corn husks back over the corn. Wrap in foil. Place on grill for 25 minutes, turning occasionally. Unwrap foil, peel back husks

*** Micro Magic: Hate the mess of boiling in a big pan? If you just want to eat an ear or two why not cook in the microwave? With husks intact, chop off the stem end of the corn cob up through the first row of kernels. Put the cob (still in the husk) in the microwave for four minutes on high. When done, use oven mitt to pick up the corn by the silk end and give it a good shake. The corn will literally slide out of the husk, silk free! Caution: Corn is very hot, use caution! *** Freeze Freshness: What could be better than enjoying the fresh taste of sweet corn

in the dead of winter? Better yet, give steaming ears of corn a place of honor on the holiday table! Here’s how to prepare corn for future meals: Blanch husked corn as soon after picking if possible. Fill a large stock pot with water (enough to cover several ears). Bring to a full boil, then submerge corn in the water. Cover and boil for about 8 minutes for medium sized ears. Cool immediately in ice water. Drain thoroughly and pack in freezer bags. *** Win Dinner for Two at the Publick House — Your tips can win you a great dinner for two at the historic Publick House Historic Inn in Sturbridge!

Are you a baby boomer? Don’t let retirement plans go bust If you’re a baby boomer, you’re at the point in life where, if you haven’t actually entered retirement, you’re at least approaching the outskirts. But if you’re like many of your fellow boomers, you may be experiencing more than a little trepidation over your financial prospects as a retiree. That’s why it’s so important for you to determine what steps to take to help improve your chances of enjoying a comfortable retirement. Just how worried are baby boomers about their future? Consider these numbers: Seventy-two percent of non-retired boomers think they will probably be forced to delay retirement, and 50 percent have little confidence that they will ever be able to retire, according to a recent AARP survey. Other surveys show a similarly bleak outlook among the baby boom generation. Fortunately, when it comes to building resources for retirement, you have options. Of course, if you’re in one of the younger age cohorts of the baby boom generation, your possibilities are greater — you may still have time to take measures such as boosting your 401(k) and IRA contributions, reducing your debts and positioning your portfolio to provide you with a reasonable amount of growth potential. But even if you are pretty close to retirement, or at least close to the point where you initially expected to retire, you can act to better your outcome. For one thing, you could re-evaluate your planned date of retirement. If you really don’t mind your job and could extend your working life for even a couple of years, you could help yourself enormously in at least three ways: You’ll add on to your retirement accounts. The longer you work, the more you can contribute to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employers-sponsored account. You may be able to delay taking Social Security. You can start taking Social Security as early as age 62, but your benefits will be permanently reduced unless you wait until your Full Retirement Age (FRA), which will likely be 66 or 67. Your

payments can increase if you delay taking your benefits Financial beyond your Full Retirement Age, up to age 70. Focus You may be able to delay tapping into your retirement JEFF vehicles. The longer you BURDICK wait until you begin withdrawals from your IRA and 401(k), the more time you are giving these accounts to potentially grow (once you turn 70 1/2, you will need to generally start taking withdrawals from a traditional IRA and a 401(k) or similar plan, but you don’t face this requirement with a Roth 401(k) account). As an alternative to delaying your retirement — or possibly as an additional step you can take along with a delay — you may be able to adjust your investment mix to provide you with the combination of growth and income that can help carry you through your retirement years. You can also be strategic about which investments you start taking withdrawals from, possibly allowing your portfolio to grow more than you had envisioned. Start thinking now about ways you can help yourself achieve the retirement lifestyle you’ve pictured. You may want to consult with a professional financial advisor who can suggest the strategies and techniques most appropriate for your situation. In any case, with some careful planning, you can be a boomer whose retirement plans

state should keep its promise to those regions to fully reimburse the cost of transporting students — a promise that was made as an incentive to communities who joined regional school districts,” said Moore. “Now that Sen. Brewer and I are both in leadership posts, we have the clout to urge our colleagues to honor that long-held, but rarely kept, commitment to the more rural areas of the Commonwealth.” Per state law, towns that regionalize school districts should receive 100-percent reimbursement for bussing costs from the state, but that’s never been the actuality. The 90-percent rate is the closest, and as Brewer said, “sets a new bar.” “I think we’ve made the biggest step towards keeping that promise this year,” Moore added. School officials said last week that the boost would allow them to spend more money in the classroom. “In our local towns, this always a point of contention because they only have so many resources and what we’ve always tried to do is to get those resources in the classroom,” said DudleyCharlton Regional School District Finance Director William Trifone. “To see a lot of those resources have to go to necessarily get the kids back and forth to school has not been where we really wanted to put that money. It’s much easier and much more appropriate for the locals to know they’re having a direct impact in the classroom, and the best way to do that is to try to remove any of the ancillary other issues.”

SPORTS CORRESPONDENT

AUBURN — The Auburn Girls’ Summer Basketball League wrapped up its postseason tournament on Thursday night, Aug. 14 in exciting fashion. Featured in the championship contest were the fourth-seeded Millbury Woolies and the host, number-two seeded Auburn Rockets. In a defense-heavy game that saw very low scoring totals, the championship would come down to the final shot of the season. Unfortunately for Auburn, that shot came from Millbury’s Keryn Reno from just beyond the arc, erasing a one-point Rocket lead and crowing the Woolies the champs as the final horn sounded, 31-29. “We had a lot of fun — I’m proud of them as a whole, a lot of people stepped up and there’s been a lot of improvement,” said Auburn coach Nathalie Khafaga after the last-second defeat. “Obviously, Millbury is a very good team,” forward Erin Burke added of the champs, “We both made it this far and it was tough competition. It stinks, losing to them, but I’m excited for the winter season because we’ll face them again, and hopefully, we can get a win.”

Auburn jumped out to a quick lead of 3-0 on an Emily Sarkisian three-pointer, and led 4-2 before the Woolies seemingly woke up. What ensued was a 10-0 run for Millbury that completely turned the tide of the game, and put the underdogs on top 12-4 with 6:22 remaining in the first half. Another Sarkisian (team-high 13 points) hoop got Auburn moving again, but Millbury would control much of the first 20 minutes, taking a 14-7 lead into the break. At the half, Auburn only had two point-scorers, Sarkisian and Erin Burke, while the Millbury attack had four different scorers. Reno opened the second half of play with a deep three that made it 17-7, matching Millbury’s largest lead of the night. Auburn made their run, going on a 10-4 run to pull to within four points, at 21-17, but once again, it was Reno from long-range to slow the Rockets momentum. Trailing 25-17, Burke (10 points) and Sarkisian took the game over. It wasn’t until just 0:36 remained that Auburn re-took the lead they once had just seconds into the championship game. It was Sarkisian stealing the ball and scoring on a layup, while getting fouled which consequently tied the game, then

put Auburn in front, 29-28. As the clock wound down under 10 seconds, few in the Auburn High gym didn’t think it would be Reno (gamehigh 14 points) to take the final shot. She shook her defender and promptly buried a three-pointer from just beyond the line on the left wing, just beating the buzzer for the title. Despite the loss, the very young Rockets know they gained valuable experience this summer, and with only three seniors, experience is likely the only thing this team truly lacks. “Especially for the new girls, it gives them a chance to learn some of our plays and what we do,” explained Khafaga on the benefits of the Summer League. “We improved on last year; I’m just proud of them for what they did and I think they’ll be really good this winter.” “It makes us stronger during the [winter] season,” said Burke of the Summer League competition. “It teaches us what we have to work on, and we do have a young team, so I think it’s good for us to get to play with each other over the summer.” As the summer hoops leagues end across the county, so too will summer, and one can only look to fall here in New England.

AUBURN — The Auburn girls’ basketball team put together one of its best performances in its biggest test so far this summer. In the Auburn Girls Summer Basketball League semifinals, the number-two seeded Rockets faced the third-seeded Douglas Tigers, and would come away with a hard-fought 31-28 victory. “It was a great match up — a close competitive game,” regarded Kristen Pappas, director of Recreation and Culture for the town of Auburn, and also the league’s coordinator. “Very close games tonight, it was basket-by-basket all night, and the best defensive team won each game.” In the first Final Four contest of the evening, number-four Millbury (11-4) took out the top-seed, Quabbin Regional (13-2) in a back-and-forth affair, 29-28. The win sent Millbury to the league’s championship game on Thursday, Aug. 14, where they met a familiar SWCL foe

in Auburn (12-3). The second game of the night pitted similar squads who each play tough defense and rely on their sharp-shooters to do a lot of the scoring. That formula shined through, as it had in the opening game, bringing yet another great crowd another great game, in the Auburn High gymnasium. Things were close early and often in this one as team defense held the scoring pace to a crawl. Twelve minutes into the opening half, the game was tied at just 7-7. Douglas benefitted from balanced scoring, with five different contributors in the opening half, but no player had more than a bucket. Meanwhile, Auburn had four girls on the score sheet through twenty minutes, as Erin Burke and Abby Lucas led the way with five and three points, respectively. Auburn guard Emily Sarkisian’s late free-throw helped account for a 12-9 Auburn halftime advantage. It didn’t take long for Douglas to even the score in the second half, as Peyton Young (9 points) buried a three-pointer from the top of the key, tying things at

12-12 with nineteen minutes to play. Auburn’s Jess Clifford immediately responded putting her team back in front 14-12, and that would prove to be a theme going forward. It seemed each time Douglas made a big shot, or put together a little run, Auburn had the answer. When Lauren Willand tied the game at 16-16, another quick hoop put Auburn back in front. A 6-0 run, punctuated by Sarkisian (game-high 11 points), who knocked down a huge three with 13:02 to play, forced a Douglas timeout with the deficit at its largest of the game, 22-16. Alas, this time it was the Tigers who had the answer, as Young hit her second three of the night to make it 22-20. After reeling off seven unanswered points, Douglas had finally regained the lead, 23-22, with 6:55 to go. Auburn answered again, as Kileigh Hynes hit her only shot of the night, to put the Rockets on top by one, 24-23. Willand (game-high 11 points) pushed hard, burying a deep three while taking a hard foul, which made it 26-25 Tigers with 1:57 to play. The free throw would

miss, though, and Auburn’s response this time would put the Rockets back in front for good. Sarkisian hit the front end of a oneand-one but the missed the back end as the clock ticked under a minute in a tied game. Whether it was a case of “right place, right time,” or just a terrific instinctual rebound, Burke (10 points) corralled the miss, quite shockingly, all alone under the rim. Burke’s put-back made it 28-26 and Auburn never looked back. When Young’s last moment three went just wide, Auburn had advanced to the summer league championship game to face their Southern Worcester County League foe, the Millbury Woolies. “It’s been a great summer,” said Pappas of the league this year. “We’re glad to have these 12 teams come out. It’s been a great season and the experience is incredible for the girls.” Before last Thursday’s matchup, Auburn had beaten Millbury in each of the last two high school seasons, both times by 10 points (40-30 and 52-42).

BY JON GOUIN


AUBURN — On Tuesday night, Aug. 12, the Douglas Tigers girls’ summer basketball team took on Grafton, in an Auburn Summer League quarterfinal round playoff matchup. As the number-three seed, the Tigers

would emerge with a trip to the semis after topping the number-six Indians, 47-23. In a first half highlighted by runs and led by Lauren Willand, the Tigers opened a 15-0 lead, and things appeared as though they would never be close on the way to the semifinals. After that run the Indians posted their own run, 8-0, cutting the lead to seven with ten

minutes to play in the half. Douglas would respond, though, scoring the final twelve points of the half and taking a somewhat surprising 27-8 lead over a good Grafton team, into the break. In the second half, the Indians found their three-point stroke, but the lead was already too great to overcome.

After the lead was cut to 14 with 14:20 to play in the game, Grafton would never get closer. Douglas’ solid presence in the lane was enough to carry the Tigers to the victory, 47-23. The win over Grafton (7-8) earned the Tigers (11-3) a shot at Auburn (11-3), the number-two seed, in the semifinals on Wednesday, Aug. 13.

AUBURN — A pair of local squads were in action at Auburn High on Monday, Aug. 11 in the first-round play of the Auburn Girls’ Summer Basketball League playoffs. Whitinsville Christian, the 11th seed, took on 6th-seeded Grafton, while 12th-seeded Uxbridge squared off with 5th-seeded St. Peter-

Marian, in a summer hoops playoff double-header. In game one, it was St. Peter-Marian jumping all over Uxbridge, building a 21-6 halftime advantage. And, despite the large deficit, the Uxbridge High girls came out and played a strong second half, opening on an 8-1 run and outscoring SPM 21-14 to make things close. The 5th-seeded Guardians (8-6) would

be victorious in the end, topping the Spartans 35-27. The young Uxbridge squad wraps up their Auburn summer league experience with a 1-13 record. In the nightcap, it was the eleventh-seed, Whitinsville Christian, taking on number-six Grafton. Even though Whitinsville was the decided underdog, they carried play throughout the first half, taking a one-point lead

into the break, 18-17. Alas, the Grafton offensive attack would prove to be too strong in the end, and the 7-7 Indians squad would outscore Whitinsville 20-11 in the final twenty minutes of action. That led to a 37-29 victory, and the ending Whitinsville’s summer. The Crusaders finish their vacation at 3-11.

Students donate more than 400 pounds of food to pantry GARDEN


grade,” said Travers, adding that she used to teach at Northbridge Middle School, which was how she first become involved with interested students. She said the group first made videos about what kind of world they wanted to live in, in a project through the band Five For Fighting, and from there became involved with local senior citizens who helped them craft the garden concept. Travers said it was until 2012 that the idea took off, and she couldn’t be more proud of what her students have done. “It was a tremendous project,” said Travers. “It was very interesting, most

of the kids do not have gardening experience, but once they get into the garden and see what it is and start to see what being produced [they love it].” Northbridge senior Mike Kane said he was been working alongside his classmates on the garden for the last two years and while it wasn’t his cup of tea at first, he said he has grown to enjoy the process and loves the result. “At first I didn’t like it,” said Kane frankly, adding it was a lot of time and effort, something that can be a rare commodity for a busy high school student these days. “But after a while it becomes a responsibility, and if you don’t care for the plants they die. You have to take care of them. Towards the end of the year when the harvest comes in, it is rewarding. You know

that you’re helping out people at the food pantry.” Kane’s mother, NAC Board of Directors members and pantry volunteer coordinator Kathy Kane said she has been involved with the group for more than five years and originally came to Travers with the need for food. “I had called Sherri Travers to see if they would do a fundraiser for the pantry and she said she could do me one better,” said Kathy. “This year has been extremely productive, they have put a lot of work into it.” Kathy said the kids gave grown more than 400 pounds of fresh produce, which she said residents who have needed the food pantry have loved. The school is shooting for 1,000 pounds by the end of the harvest this fall.

Kathy added the pantry is always accepting donations of not only produce, but non-perishable items. Residents can drop off items at the pantry, located at 20 Highland St., Whitinsville, from 10 a.m., until 12 p.m., on Tuesdays. Mike’s classmate, Meagan Brouwer, 17, said this last year was her first full year working on the garden project. Like Mike, she said she had no idea how big the project was until she got her hands dirty, but in the end was excited to see their success. “It has been very interesting,” said Brouwer. “The garden is just a great way to get involved in the community.” Joy Richard may be reached at 508909-4129 or by email at [email protected].

Northbridge fire kills several pets on Church Ave. FIRE


said it appears to have started in the basement. The fire was reported to authorities at 5:51 a.m. Monday, Aug. 18, Nestor said. The first crews arrived seven minutes later to find “heavy fire showing from the rear of the building in the basement area,” he said. Some of the residents of 44-46 Church Ave. were still sleeping, he said, while others were getting ready for work. A third alarm was called, which Nestor said brought firefighters from Uxbridge, Douglas, Grafton, Upton and Sutton. No firefighters were injured, Nestor said. One resident suffered a minor injury when he cut his hand trying to put out the fire with a garden hose, the chief said. The American Red Cross was notified and responded to help the people who lived in the building, Nestor said.

Monday morning’s incident occurred not far from a May 4, 2013 fire that gutted two three-story buildings with a total of 13 apartments at the corner of Cross Place and Church Avenue. Nestor said that fire started on the porch of one of the buildings, and was attributed to smoking. Photos courtesy Lori Bianchin

Firefighters from across the Blackstone Valley responded to a three-alarm fire Monday, Aug. 18, at 44-46 Church Ave. in the Rockdale section of Northbridge.

Tremblay comes back to music after years of illness BAND


Jeff Benton said he is thrilled to see his long-time friend back in action. He said it was awful having to watch him struggle with illness and added that it gives him joy to watch how he has worked to get back on stage. Benton has been a member of the seven-piece outfit for since 1973, and said of their almost 30-year break that getting back togther with the group in 2009, and now having “Buzzy,” as he is known, back in action has really lit the spirit of the band on fire. Tremblay said the support

from family and friends has been great. He said he has been performing in bands, playing guitar and singing for the last 50 years — giving up was never an option. “Buzzy is a musician, it is in his blood,” said Benton during a phone interview last week. “He loves to play and perform.” He said the idea for a summer show with the group came from Tremblay himself, originally asking Benton to schedule two dates and he would work to “get better” in time. Tremblay said the group, the original and new members are all a “band of brothers,” adding

whenever those “lifetime members” play it is a little bit of magic. Benton said unfortunately, one date came and went as Tremblay wasn’t quite up to snuff, but now he is ready for the show and he can’t wait to see his friend back on stage where everyone in the band feels he belongs. He praised Tremblay by calling him an “odd-ball,” but in the best of ways, adding that working through this intense of a cancer is surely odd, but nonetheless great.

DOUGLAS LIBRARY BOOK DISCUSSION DOUGLAS — The next meeting of the Douglas Library Book Group will be discussing Ray Raphael’s “The First American Revolution: Before Lexington and Concord,” on Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 6:30 p.m. In the years before the Battle of Lexington and Concord, local people took control over their own destinies, overturning British authority and declaring themselves free from colonial oppression, with acts of rebellion that long predated the Boston Tea Party. In rural towns such as Worcester, Massachusetts, local democracy set down roots well before the Boston patriots made their moves in the fight for independence. Call the Library 508-476-2695 for a copy of the book. New members welcome. Homemade refreshments, inspired by the title being discussed, will be served.

Please come and have the time of your life and help out two great local causes!

arms on the town common to commemorate Uxbridge’s participation in the march to Worcester, which marked the start of the American Revolution, on that date in 1774. Uxbridge deployed 156 militiamen to join some 4,500 others from the towns in Worcester County. This was not some ill-defined mob but the military embodiment of anti-British sentiment that had flared as a result of heavy-handed British policies. With great flare, they lined both sides of Main Street for a quarter mile and forced two dozen court officials to walk the gauntlet, hats in hand, reciting their recantations more than thirty times each so everyone could hear. The wording was strong: the officials would cede to the will of the people and promise never to execute “the unconstitutional act of the British parliament” (the Massachusetts Government Act) that would “reduce the inhabitants … to mere arbitrary power.” With this humiliating submission, all British authority vanished from Worcester County, never to return. The commemoration will continue in Worcester on Sept. 7, with daylong activities including a re-enactment of the King’s officials walking the gauntlet. WHITINSVILLE The Blackstone Valley United Methodist Church in Whitinsville will hold a clothing swap on Saturday, Sept. 6, from 9-11 a.m. Whether you’re looking to clean out your closet or update your wardrobe, the clothing swap is for you. We accept donations of gently used men’s, women’s and kid’s clothing, shoes and accessories. You don’t have to donate to bring something home and you don’t have to bring something home in order to donate. Everything is free and open to the public. You can drop donations off on Friday, Sept. 5, between 6-7 p.m. or on the morning of the swap. Please use the driveway between the law office and Domino’s Pizza (on Church Street) and come in the church’s back door. Any questions, please call Christine at 508-2348131 or e-mail edalynne@ hotmail.com.

Come check out local artists displaying their goods and forging demonstration by local farrier Tim O’Brien.

Sunday, Sept. 7 WORCESTER The Captain Job Knapp Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will participate in the Revolution of 1774 that is being held in Worcester on Sept. 7 in Institute Park. The all-day event is to commemorate the day in 1774 when the Prudential Government took over the Court Houses in Worcester. On Sept. 6, 1774, 4,622 militiamen from 37 town across the Worcester County – half the adult male population of the entire county – lined both sides of Main Street as two dozen court officials walked the gauntlet between them, hats in hand, reciting their recantations thirty times each so all the militiamen could hear. From that day onward, no British authority was ever exerted in Worcester County. There will be may events in several different locations including the Antiquarian Society, the Salisbury Mansion, The Oaks, and the Worcester Historical Society. It is planned as a fun celebration for the whole family with music, food, costumes, and reenactments. The DAR is the largest woman’s service organization in the world. The Captain Job Knapp Chapter is located in the Blackstone Valley and is open to anyone who can trace their ancestry back to the Revolutionary War. New members are always welcome.

Police department issues scam warning UXBRIDGE — For some time now, scamming organizations have been targeting Uxbridge residents and businesses by calling and identifying themselves as National Grid or the IRS. They claim they are owed money and say your services will be terminated and or you’ll be arrested by an agent if you don’t pay. They instruct you to go to a store and purchase Pay Pal Green Dot Money Pak cards in various amounts. They then call back and only request the numbers off the cards that were purchased. It seems they have means to make their own cards by the information they are given off of the cards. Remember — this is a scam! National Grid, other service providers and the IRS will not conduct business in this manner. They are also using a spoof cell phone program. They can actually change the number that shows up on your caller ID to reflect National Grid the IRS or another service provider’s actual phone number. Simply hang up if/when you get one of these calls and then report it to the Uxbridge Police Department and follow up with the calling agencies customer service number located on your bill.

Women’s Bible study to start fall season WHITINSVILLE — Coffee Break, a non-denominational community Bible study for women, will begin its fall season with a study of I and II Corinthians on Thursday, Sept. 11, at Fairlawn Church. The letters to the Church at Corinth are filled with encouragement. The Corinthians wondered about where they stood with God … in life and in death, and about whether they’d been forgotten in their times of suffering. They wondered if their lives were pleasing to God, and if Jesus was really coming again. The Apostle Paul had answers for them — and for us. Come, as we open our Bibles and our hearts, and learn together. Refreshments and quality child care are provided — with a loving nursery for infants up to age 2 and a story hour that your 3- to 5-year-olds won’t want to miss! Coffee Break is held each Thursday from 9:30 to 11 a.m. and offers women in the Blackstone Valley an opportunity to read and discuss the Bible, share questions and concerns, and develop new friendships. Each lesson is independent, so if you can’t attend every week, you won’t feel “lost.” There’s no “homework” required, and no previous Bible knowledge is necessary. Study guides are provided free of charge. The Coffee Break staff invites you to come and discover wisdom for today from I and II Corinthians. Fairlawn Church is located at 305 Goldthwaite Road (off Hill Street) in Whitinsville. For directions, questions, or to get more information, please call 508-234-4806 or the church secretary at 508-234-2838.

PETS Making A Connection Between Your Pet And Your Date

Tips For Dealing With Kitty’s Potty Problems

(NAPS)

Finding the right cat litter can help with kitty’s potty problems. (NAPS)

“Why is my kitty going outside the litter box?” is one of the top questions that veterinarians get asked by cat parents. According to Dr. Laura Wiles, a veterinarian who specializes in feline medicine, it might be a health issue, behavioral problem or the cat’s environment. Dr. Wiles advises cat parents to first take kitty to their vet to rule out any health problems. For behavioral and environmental issues, Dr. Wiles offers some tips to help make kitty’s trips to the litter box less stressful: •Place the litter box in a location that’s best for kitty—not you. Cats prefer that their litter box be in a quiet, easy-to-access location that offers them some privacy—not a high-traffic or noisy area. •Keep the litter box clean. Sift the litter regularly to keep it fresh. Wash the litter box every time you do a complete change of litter, using mild soap

and water or an enzymatic cleaner (not bleach). •Have multiple litter boxes if you have multiple cats. The gold standard is one litter box per cat, plus one extra. Make sure they’re big enough, too. •Find out if your cat prefers covered or uncovered litter boxes. If your cat with issues has a box with a cover, try uncovering it as a test. •Use a litter that kitty likes. Choose a cat litter such as the new Simple Solution 30 day Super Absorbent Litter, made from attapulgite clay, that stays fresh and clean for up to a month. Cats especially like it because its soft texture is gentle on their paws. Finally, if you have indoor cats, help them get rid of excess energy and stop them from getting bored by playing with them during the day. For more information, visit www. 30daycatlitter.com.
