Heartbreak for Pirates 

NORTHBRIDGE BEATS OXFORD TO CLAIM 

FIRST TITLE SINCE 1980 

BY NICK ETHIER 

SPORTS STAFF WRITER 

FITCHBURG — Senior Corey Pryor was unstoppable 

for the Northbridge boys’ basketball team, 

scoring a season-high 36 points on 15 of 19 shooting 

– including a 4 of 5 mark from 3-point range – and it 

was enough to lift the Rams past upstart Oxford in 

the Central Mass. Division 2 district championship 

game on March 12 at Fitchburg State, 67-53. 

Junior Harrison Murphy chipped in with 12 

points and 9 rebounds for Northbridge, while sophomore 

Matt Phelan was the ultimate sparkplug off 

the bench, scoring 10 points, grabbing 6 rebounds, 

and providing countless energy plays. 

The third seeded Rams, now 20-5, will play 

Western Mass. champ Sabis in a state semifinal. No. 

8 Oxford finished its season at 14-10.

AUBURN — A Dudley boy died 

Saturday evening, March 12, following 

a fall from an escalator in the 

Sears Department Store at the 

Auburn Mall Friday, March 11. 

According to reports, last Friday, 

at approximately 6:30 p.m., Mark 

DiBona, 4, of Dudley, who was with 

his mother, was on the second floor 

escalator in the Sears store and 

grabbed the moving railing of the 

escalator with both hands and was 

pulled off the escalator and 

through a gap between the escalator 

and a plastic barrier — falling 

onto a first floor display. 

Auburn Police and Fire 

Departments responded to the 

scene. 

The 4-year-old suffered a serious 

head injury and was taken by 

ambulance to the University of 

Massachusetts Medical Center, 

Memorial Campus, in Worcester 

coach Paul Baker. “He really carried us. He did a lot 

of really clutch things for us.” 

When asked what the difference was, Oxford 

coach Sean Halloran said, “Corey Pryor. It’s one of 

those things where he had it all going. He had 

threes, he had drives to the hoop, he hit the free 

throws, and if I was a fan of Northbridge I’d be 

thrilled. He’s one of the best players in the region 

and he showed it.” 

Pryor’s stat sheet had 11 two-point baskets, four 3- 

pointers, and two free throws. Many of his shots fell 

because of his shooter’s touch with balls bouncing 

off the rim and backboard before finally settling in 

the net. 

“It was one of those days,” said Pryor, who also 

became the school’s all-time leading scorer, passing 

2010 graduate Casey Hippert. “The rims were very

However, at approximately 10

Jr. 

The statement explained that 

“the boy had been at the mall shopping

guilty of murder 

SENTENCING 

SCHEDULED 

FOR MARCH 25 

BY JOY RICHARD 

TIMES STAFF WRITER 

DUDLEY — A Webster man was 

found guilty Monday, March 14, of 

the double murder of two Dudley 

residents that took place nearly 

four years ago. 

According to the Worcester 

County District Attorney’s Office, 

Webster resident Christian Muller, 

30, was convicted at Worcester 

Superior Court of two counts of 

murder, three counts of home invasion, 

armed assault with attempt to 

murder and unlawful possession of 

firearm. 

The jury deliberated for several 

hours last Monday and came to the 

conclusion that Muller was guilty 

of the crimes committed in July 

2007. 

Superior court Judge Richard T. 

Tucker convicted Muller of these 

charges last week. Tucker chose to 

postpone Muller’s sentencing until 

Friday, March 25. 

The murders took place on July 



WEBSTER — With dropout rates 

staying relatively steady during the 

last three years, Bartlett Jr./Sr. 

High School Principal Michael 

Hackenson said he and members of 

his administration are committed 

to lowering those numbers in years 

to come. 

Hackenson gave a special presentation 

to members of the Webster 

School Committee during the 

Tuesday, March 8 meeting held at 

the Filmer Administration building 

on East Main Street. 

Hackenson spoke to the committee 

about the trend in dropout rates 

for the district, along with the 

issues he and other faculty members 

have had to face during the 

last semester. 

He said over the course of three 

years, Bartlett High School dropout 

rates in grades 9 through 12 have 

stayed consistent. Hackenson said 

in 2010, there were 545 dropouts, in 

2009 there were 565, and in 2008 the

Oxford Community Center Tai Chi instructor Richard LaFontaine leads a group of local 

residents during one of his weekly Tai Chi classes held on Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. 



OXFORD — “It is martial arts in 

slow motion.” 

When asked to describe what Tai 

Chi means to her, Oxford 

Community Center Fitness 

Program Manager Shelley Lambert 

said the only way she knew how to 

sum it up would be a slower version 

of the ancient, self-defense technique. 

According to Lambert, the community 

center has recently started 

offering classes in Tai Chi, and during 

the last few weeks the activity 

has become so popular she has had 

to create a waiting list. 

Lambert said a new session will 

begin Tuesday, March 22, at 6:30 

p.m. She said residents of all ages, 

and abilities are encouraged to 

attend the classes, which are held 

in the basement of the community 

center. 

“It really does feel good,” said 

Lambert during an interview last 

week. “I am not really a ‘yoga minded’ 

person, but that didn’t hinder 

me in Tai Chi. If I can get there, 

anyone can.” 

Lambert said she was originally 

drawn into one of the weekly Tai 

Chi classes, because of the “the fluidity 

of movement, and it has a progression 

that it is based in martial 

arts, without being fast pace or 

harsh. It is not as aggressive.” 

Oxford Community Center Tai 

Chi instructor Richard LaFontaine 

said he has enjoyed this movementbased 

activity since he began practicing 

Tai Chi in 1994. 

He said he was first introduced to 

Tai Chi after trying karate and 

finding that it was too much of a 

stress on his body. LaFontaine said 

he continued to take classes in Tai 

Chi until 2001, when he decided to 

became a certified teacher. 

He said the sport is perfect for 

those with limited physical mobility, 

and while residents should 

always check with their physician 

before beginning a new form of 

working out, it has personally 

helped him stay active during the 

last 17 years. 

“I liked it,” said LaFontaine. “It 

was interesting, and it feels good. 

That is what I always tell the stu-

Student club leads charge behind tobacco sales bylaw 



OXFORD — Students are embracing a victory in the fight 

against smoking. 

Students in the I Connect 84 HBU club at Oxford High 

School recently celebrated the change they helped create in 

the regulations of the Oxford Board of Health’s Sale of 

Tobacco Products to Minors bylaw. 

The group went before the Oxford Board of Health for the 

first time in September and as of Monday, Feb. 7, the board 

passed the vote to ban tobacco products from being sold in 

Oxford pharmacies. 

Oxford High School Health teacher Dixie Lawrence said 

this bylaw change currently affects CVS, Rite-Aid and Wal- 

Mart. She said the group was not only surprised that the vote 

passed, but how quickly the process happened. 

“We are obviously quite happy that it went through,” said 

Lawrence during an interview last week. “There are 24 people 

that die each day in Massachusetts from tobacco-related diseases. 

A lot of the kids in the organization have been touched, 

at least 90 percent, by tobacco. So, that why this is so close to 

them.” 

Lawrence said in the three years the group has existed, 

they have worked to collect information from the community 

about smoking trends among teens, and she said both students 

and members of the Board of Health were surprised to 

learn just how many advertisement for cigarettes are placed 

at three feet or lower, which could be in the eye sight of a 

child. 

Lawrence said it also shocked students to find out that 

when polled there are fewer teens that smoke at Oxford High 

School then they would have thought. She said this knowledge 

would hopefully help younger students realize 

that smoking is not a trend and if they are thinking 

about starting they should reconsider. 

“This [new] perception makes the choice easier,” 

said Lawrence. 

She said the group hopes to continue to work in the 

community and currently had a Kick Butts Day planner 

for Wednesday, March 23, where they will clean up 

cigarette butts around town. 

Oxford High School sophomore and I Connect 84 

HBU Vice President Ryan Donovan, 16, said he is 

happy with the achievements he and his peers have 

made in the last six months. 

He said they are looking forward to continuing their 

work in the future, and hopes this bylaw change will 

affect future generations positively. 

“I feel it was a good accomplishment for us,” said 

Donovan. “It makes no sense to sell harmful products 

in a place that should be making you healthy. Despite 

the critical reception I think it went well.” 

Oxford High School junior and fellow I Connect 84 

HBU member Cassandra Pastier, 16, said she agreed 

with Donovan, and that this success is something she 

and the others will be proud of for years to come. 

“It has been interesting to learning all of the different 

methods of smoking, and shocking at the same 

time,” said Pastier. “I am really happy that it passed. I 

think every town should have this.”

Oxford pharmacies.

Police seize more than $10K of prescription 

pills 

WEBSTER — On Saturday, March 12, at 6:56 p.m., 

Detectives James T. Hoover and Gordon Wentworth concluded 

a four-month investigation by executing a search 

warrant at 59 School St., Apt. C. 

This apartment is rented by Rodney Lechert, 64. 

Detectives found a large amount of prescription type pills 

for which Lechert did not have a prescription for. Also 

found was approximately an ounce of marijuana along 

with evidence of narcotics distribution of both the pills 

and marijuana. Police also discovered a “stun gun,” 

which is illegal to possess in the state of Massachusetts. 

Also charged in conjunction with the investigation was 

Jeanne Germain, 61, 

of 2 East Main St. Ms. 

Germain was also 

found to be in possession 

of a large 

amount of numerous 

types of prescription 

pills for which she did 

not have a prescription 

for. 

It is believed that 

Lechert and Germain 

would travel to a location 

in Florida, pick 

up the pills, and travel 

back to Webster 

where the pills would 

then be sold. 

Detectives believe 

that as a result of the 

investigation, more 

than $10,000 worth of 

pills were seized 

($10,500 is the estimated 

street value). 

Germain was 

charged with trafficking 

in opium, drug

YOUNG OXFORD 

MEN SAVE DOG 

FROM ICY DEMISE 



OXFORD — Being in the right place at the 

right time and some quick thinking may have 

saved the life a family’s beloved canine earlier 

this month. 

Oxford Animal Control Officer Sheila 

Donohue echoed these sentiments last week 

during an interview at Hodges Village Dam 

with a group of four Oxford residents who 

put their safety on the line earlier in the 

month to help save a canine in need. 

Oxford High School seniors Thomas 

Steven, 18, and Kyle Brady, 17, were walking 

with friends, and fellow Oxford residents 

Michael Palumbo, 20, and Ronald Pilski, 21, 

on the evening of Saturday, March 5, when 

they came across a dog who had gotten loose 

from its owner. 

The dog, which they later found out was an 

Irish Setter named Riley had run away from 

its group and was walking on the ice at the 

opening of the French River. 

Brady said the group watched Riley closely 

as they feared the dog would fall in at any 

moment, because he knew the ice would be 

thin, as it had formed over running water. 

“We were freaking out — we didn’t want to 

watch it fall through, but [Riley] did,” said 

Brady. 

Brady said after the dog fell through the ice 

the group panicked, and called back to Pilski 

who was walking back to his house. 

He said when they started walking toward 

the dog the group did not realize they were 

walking on ice, because of the snow cover. 

“We did panic,” said Brady. “We tried to 

have it bite a branch, but that did not work. It 

was pretty intense when happening, it 

seemed like forever.” 

Steven said when police arrived the group 

had already started to dry 

the dog off, and collect 

their thoughts after their 

ordeal. 

“The owner was really 

happy,” said Donohue. 

She said during the winter 

months the event of a 

pet falling through ice is 

common, but not something 

that happens every 

day. Donohue said she was 

proud that the group had 

the ability to not only help, 

but also call the authorities 

for back up. 

She said the dog’s owner 

was so pleased with the 

effort to bring his dog back 

he made a $100 donation to 

the current Oxford 

Animal Shelter building 

project in the group’s 

name. 

“If they weren’t here the 

school/park (she lives in close proximity to St. Anne’s 

School on Day Street), possession of class B substance 

and conspiracy to violate a controlled substance law. 

Lechert was charged with the following — trafficking 

in opium, drug violation near a school/park, conspiracy 

to violate a controlled substance law, possession of an 

electric stun gun, possession of a class D substance with 

the intent to distribute-subsequent offense, possession of 

a class B substance-subsequent offense. 

Also assisting in the search was Sergeant Michael 

Shaw, Sergeant Rodney Budrow, and Canine officer

dog probably would have gotten exhausted 

and perished,” said Donohue. “You hear so 

many negative things about youth in the 

community, but they saw a potential problem, 

and they were able to come up with a came 

plan, call 911, and complete their plan successfully. 

I am very proud of them.” 

Palumbo said at the time the ordeal seemed 

to take longer than it actually did. When 

asked if they would go back and do the same 

in a similar situation, he and the others

Pinwheel campaign to raise child abuse awareness 



WEBSTER — On Monday, March 

14, the Board of Selectmen passed a 

vote to help bring awareness to the 

problem of child abuse and neglect to 

residents in the community. 

Board of Selectmen Chairman 

Deborah Keefe announced the news 

of the unanimous vote made by the 

board to Community For Success 

Council representative Leslie Baker 

during the Monday, March 14, Board 

of Selectmen meeting. 

Keefe said the board made the 

choice to personally pay for 143 pinwheels 

to place on the front lawn of 

the Webster Town Hall as a way to 

honor the 143 substantiated cases, 

and 359 reported cases of child abuse 

found in Webster as of 2009. 

The pinwheels will be on the front 

lawn starting Friday, April 1, until 

elections in May. 

Keefe said she and the other members 

of the board thought the pinwheel 

display would be a fitting way 

to inform residents in the community 

of the problem of neglect and 

child abuse in the area. 

Keefe said Baker approached her 

with the pinwheel idea earlier in the 

month, as she and the council were 

looking for a location of the display 

in time for April, which is National 

Child Abuse Prevention month. 

Baker said the council was 

informed of the ongoing matter of 

abuse and neglect in Webster after 

looking into local various local statistics, 

and she said one “jumped” out to 

both she and the committee. 

“Webster holds the dubious distinction 

of being number nine out of 

the top 10 communities in 

Massachusetts for abuse and neglect 

in 2008,” said Baker during the latest 

board meeting. “This is to raise 

awareness that there is an ongoing 

problem, and it is not just our town, 

[and] we are not immune from it.” 

Baker said she and the council 

retrieved this information from the 

Department of Children and 

Families. She said the group is currently 

looking into different ways to 

identify and help in the prevention of 

the problem for children in years to 

come. 

In other business Monday, selectmen 

discussed the issue of turning 

streetlights back on. 

Selectmen made the vote to turn 

the majority of lights off in town last 

summer as a cost saving move for the 

town. 

Highway Superintendent Kenneth 

Pizzetti and Department of Public 

Works Director J.T. Gaucher came 

before selectmen last Monday to 

speak with them about turning two 

lights back on. 

Keefe said the lights, which are 

located in the parking lot behind the 

Main Street Dunkin’ Donuts and at 

the corner of East Main Street and 

Witcombe Street were suggested by 

the Webster Police Department for 

safety reasons. 

Keefe made the suggestion to the 

board that with the amount of 

requests from residents to turn specific 

streetlights back on, the idea of 

turning every other streetlight on 

might be a feasible idea. 

“I don’t think that makes the most 

sense logistically,” said Webster 

Town Administrator John McAuliffe. 

“The way we have done it makes 

sense, and the imput we have 

received from the community [has 

been positive.]” 

McAuliffe said it would cost 

approximately $30,000 to $40,000 to 

turn all of the lights back on. He said 

after driving through town on several 

occasions he thought it would be 

best to continue the way the town has 

by reviewing each light request as it 

comes through. 

“The goal is to get them all back 

on,” said Keefe.

“If it’s important to you, it’s important to us!”



‘Appealing attitude’ of students drew superintendent to Webster 



WEBSTER — Over the course of 

eight years, Webster School District 

Superintendent Dr. Gregory Ciardi 

has seen many changes throughout 

the district, one of the most recent 

being the construction of the new 

Webster Middle School. 

The Webster Times recently had 

the opportunity to sit and speak 

with Ciardi about these changes, 

along with the ones to come in the 

future. 

Where do you hail from originally? 

“I was born and bred in the Hyde 

Park section of Boston. I stayed 

there pretty much until I got married. 

I [attended] Boston College, 

and was an English major, and I 

graduated in 1968. It was an exciting 

time to go to college, it was 

great. 

“We moved around a bit, and I 

was married right before I left for 

the military. I was in the Army. We 

ended up raising our kids in 

Concord. 

“After I got back from the military, 

I got my master’s degree from 

Boston State College in education. I 

started working in Catholic 

schools. My first teaching job was 

at a Catholic school in Dedham, and 

then at Malden Catholic High 

School as an English teacher. I then 

shifted over to Norwell High 

School. 

“I then ended up in school administration 

in Auburn for a very short 

period of time, from 1979 and 1980, 

then for a long time in Concord. 

“I have done my superintendent 

work a little inside out. Most superintendents 

do all of their [superintendent 

work] and then they do consulting 

work maybe after that. 

I had a superintendence in 

Lincoln, and in Maynard in the late 

1980s and early 1990s. Then I had 

consultant work around the county 

for about 10 years.” 

What is a consultant, and how 

has that position shaped you as a 

superintendent? 

“I was working in school systems, 

and in many ways I was affiliated 

with Research for Better Teaching. 

That is a national consulting firm 

that does professional development. 

I was mostly working with the big 

urban school districts around the 

county. I was working with the 

schools in the urban cores of the 

bigger cities. I liked it a lot. I was 

working, mostly training principals 

in some of the toughest neighborhoods 

in the country. I got to 

work with some people who were 

really rolling up their sleeves and 

were trying to provide good schools 

for kids under very challenging circumstances. 

I learned a lot from 

that. 

“I did that for around 10 years, 

and I kind of missed being grounded. 

I was on a plane three times a 

week, every week. I decided that I 

wanted to settle back into a superintendent 

[position]. 

“I interviewed here, and I liked 

the people, and the challenges here, 

and I was happy to come. One of the 

things that you learn when you 

work with those schools in the 

urban cores, is that the distinction 

between the schools that 

work, and those that don’t, and 

it is not the kids. It is that the 

adults that work together, and 

have a common mission, and a 

common commitment, who are 

passionate enough to roll up 

their sleeves and get the work 

done can provide really good 

schools for kids who are going 

to school under very challenging 

circumstances. What that 

tells me is that great schools are 

possible. That is how it has 

helped me in my work.” 

Overall, what are some of 

the challenges that the 

Webster School District currently 

faces? 

“Well, there are a number. 

Our student population defines 

some of it. We have many kids 

who move around, and that 

presents its own challenges. 

There is accommodating the 

kids who are coming in from 

different places, and getting 

them onto the same page — that 

is one [challenge.] 

There is the fact that this is 

frankly a somewhat under-funded 

school system. Our per-pupil costs 

are not at the state average. We have 

to do a lot with limited resources. I 

think that we are good at that, at 

getting the most possible bang for 

the buck. 

What it is does translate to is 

fewer staff positions, which means 

everyone has to do a little more.” 

Last Green Valley seeking new ‘Walktober’ ideas 

BY CLARE HOPKINS 

STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER 

LGV BRAINSTORMS NEW WALKS FOR ANNUAL EVENT 


Webster School District Superintendent Dr. Gregory Ciardi 

What makes Webster stand out 

as a district? 

“When superintendent [candidates] 

are interviewing for jobs, 

and the school committees are 

deciding whether or not they want 

to hire you, superintendent candidates 

are also interviewing communities 

to decided whether or not 

they would like to work there. 

The thing that stood out for me in 

Webster was the kids, the students. 

As I met them and was visiting 

the schools on interviews, they just 

seemed to have a spirit that was a 

little bit unique. I don’t even know 

how to describe it, it is an appealing 

attitude. You say these are great 

kids, and I would be happy to work 

in a school system for them.”

The Last Green Valley (TLGV) is in 

the final stages of preparing the 21st 

Annual Walktober schedule and 

looking to add some more walks 

before the schedule is finalized. 

Walktober is a collection of hikes, 

walks, strolls, bikes and hikes 

throughout the entire month of 

October, which TLGV has organized 

for the past 20 years. 

“Walktober is a fantastic event that 

pulls together all the great things 

about The Last Green Valley into 

experiences that residents and visitors 

can enjoy,” said Executive 

Director and CEO Charlene Perkins 

Cutler. 

Last year’s events attracted more 

than 21,000 participants to walks, 

bikes, paddles and events throughout 

the National Heritage Corridor. 

TLGV is seeking to make this year’s 

series even more impressive and is 

hopes to add brand new experiences, 

as well as updated versions of walks 

held in previous years. 

“Most of these opportunities are 

special for this promotion — areas 

that are not normally accessible or 

walk leaders with special expertise 

who only offer a program for this 

event. It’s a wonderful way to promote 

our communities and organizations,” 

said Cutler. 

TGLV is asking people to consider 

offering a walk, bike, paddle or event, 

denoted with a catchy title, during 

the week as well as on weekends in 

October. All walks, bikes and paddles 

must be free, guided, and open to the 

public. There may be an admission 

fee charged for events. Proposals 

should be pertinent to the mission of 

TLGV, which works to enhance the 

region’s significant natural 

resources in the context of a vital 

economy and regional cultural identity. 

“It would be great to have walks 

that deal with a newly revealed story 

File photo 

The Last Green Valley is looking for fresh ideas to add to its upcoming Walktober series 

in October. 

of history, a tour of something like 

an egg farm — a chance to tour a 

local manufacturer to see how a product 

is made. There are lots of great 

ideas out there,” said Cutler. 

The seasonal festivities will be 

extended into November with an 

expanded calendar of events. The 

Walktober umbrella promotion will 

also feature the abundant farms 

found throughout The Last Green 

Valley, where residents and visitors 

alike can pick-your-own seasonal 

produce, tag a Christmas tree or 

select a farm-fresh turkey in time for 

the holidays. 

Cutler said that participation in 

Walktober is a great way to feature 

local organizations and their work, 

and to provide opportunities to publicize 

their income-producing events. 

The Last Green Valley, Inc., is the 

nonprofit management entity for the 

Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers 

Valley National Heritage Corridor. 

The region includes 35 towns in 

northeastern Connecticut and southcentral 

Massachusetts (Brimfield, 

Charlton, Dudley, East Brookfield, 

Holland, Oxford, Southbridge, 

Sturbridge, and Webster). The organization 

works locally to preserve the 

land, water, and cultural resources of 

the region. 

Interested individuals and organizations 

are invited to submit a 

Walktober proposal form on or before 

the deadline of April 1, 2011. Please 

visit the website, www.thelastgreenvalley.org

form or call the office at 860-774-3300

READY FOR 

THE POLLS 

WEBSTER — The town is 

preparing for the special election 

Monday, March 21. On 

Monday, March 7, the town 

voted overwhelmingly in 

favor (241-22) at a special town 

meeting to move forward with 

the construction of a brand 

new police station on Main 

Street, and to renovate the 

existing building as a fire/rescue 

facility. 

This project has been made 

possible by the very generous 

donation of $6 million by the 

Fels Family Foundation. Here 

in the photo is James 

Chauvin, who is assembling 

the voting booth equipment in 

the Town Hall Auditorium. 

Kevin Kuros 

Kuros announces committee appointments 

BOSTON — Saying he is energized and looking forward to 

working for his constituents, Rep. Kevin Kuros today announced 

the committees he will be serving on for the 2011-2012 

Legislative Session. 

The Uxbridge Republican was appointed to three committees: 

the Joint Committee on Economic Development & Emerging 

Technologies, the Joint Committee on Municipalities and 

Regional Government and the House Committee on Post Audit 

and Oversight. 

House Minority Leader Brad Jones said, “Representative 

Kuros’ private sector background combined with his extensive 

municipal experience make him ideally suited to serve on these 

committees.” 

Kuros said, “I am very excited about my committee appointments. 

Prior to being elected to represent the people of the district, 

I spent nearly two decades in business development in the 

information technology and management consulting industries. 

I hope to bring a new perspective and some fresh ideas to 

the Economic Development committee.” 

Kuros is a freshman member of the Massachusetts House of 

Representatives and represents the people of the 8th Worcester 

District, consisting of the towns of Douglas, Dudley, Oxford 

(Precinct 4 only), Uxbridge (Precinct 3 only) and Webster. He 

defeated an incumbent this election cycle. 

“One of the key points I repeatedly heard on the campaign 

trail,” said Kuros, who is the ranking Republican on the 

Municipalities committee, “was that there was a disconnect 

between the State House and the cities and towns. As a former 

selectman, I asked to be appointed to the Municipalities committee 

so that the voices of selectmen everywhere can be heard on 

Beacon Hill.”

Smile and say ‘Ah!’ Dental program to visit DES 



DUDLEY — Elementary school students 

will have even pearlier whites after a visit 

from a national mobile dentist group this 

month. 

Dudley Elementary School students who 

otherwise would not have the opportunity to 

visit the dentist, will now have the opportunity 

when members of the Mobile Dentist 

Smile Program pay the school a visit on 

Monday, March 28. 

Dudley Elementary School Nurse Linda 

Smith said in the eight years she has been 

with the school, this is the first time the 

Mobile Dentist Smile Program would be coming 

to visit the student for a by-annual, or 

sixth month check up. 

She said she was very pleased to see them 

come back for the fourth year, and this time 

for the first year of semi-annual appointments. 

Smith said this will help the children 

stay up-to-date like any other student, when it 

comes to oral health. 

Smith said the mobile dentist program will 

also be stopping by the Mason Road 

Elementary School, Heritage School in 

Charlton and Charlton Elementary School in 

the near future. 

“As an elementary school nurse I see all 

kinds of conditions,” said Smith. “[One of] 

the biggest concerns with young children is 

dental care, and in the literature [from the 

Mobile Dentist Smile Program] they say it is 

one of the biggest growing illnesses in elementary 

school children.” 

Smith said the response from parents of 

children who have taken part in the program 

has been positive in the past year. 

She said once parents fill out the form sent 

with their child the mobile dentist team will 

then contact them and tell them if their child 

is eligible or not for the program. 

Smith said approximately 25 students take 

part in the program each time it comes to the 

school. She said with the economy always 

changing the program “has grown steadily” 

over the years, and she hopes to see even 

more children become involved next year if 

they are in need of the service. 

Smith said once again parent volunteers 

from the community will be on hand to help 

shuttle the children back and forth to class as 

they go to and from their appointments. She 

said that is always a help, as she is not only 

overseeing the program, but she is also the 

full-time school nurse. 

“It is a wonderful service, and they are very 

good with following up [with parents,]” said 

Smith. “It is very kid-friendly and the students 

do well, even kids who hate the dentists. 

Typically no one is turned away, and it 

really keeps the continuity of their dental 

care. It is consistent of the recommendations 

of private dentists, 

and models how 

the community 

would see dental 

patients.” 

D u d l e y 

Elementary School 

Principal Terri 

Caffelle said she is 

always grateful to 

have the mobile 

dentists come to 

see the students, 

and is looking forward 

to the start of 

the semi-annual 

check-up program. 

“The Mobile 

Dentist Smile 

Program is a wonderful 

service 

being provided to 

the families in our 

school,” said 

Caffelle during an 

interview last 

week. “Parents 

can be assured that 

their children will 

have proper dental 

care by participating in this program.” 


A member of the Mobile Dentist Smile Program shows a Dudley Elementary School 

student an x-ray. The program will be returning to the school this year to give students 

a free cleaning and by-annual check-up.

Bay Path to undergo DESE review 

CHARLTON — Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational School District 

Superintendent David P. Papagni was recently informed by the Massachusetts Department of 

Elementary and Secondary Education of an upcoming DESE Coordinated Program Review 

visit April 4-8. 

Such visits are routinely conducted by the department to satisfy federal and state special 

education requirements and to review periodically specific educational programs and services 

in local school districts throughout the Commonwealth. 

Papagni indicated that the Department’s Coordinated Program Review process will address 

the program areas of Special Education, Chapter I, Carl Perkins Vocational Grants and 

Methods of Administration and will include a review of the school district program procedures, 

a study of individual student records, and an onsite visit by a DESE Team. The 

Department Team will conduct interviews of district administrators, teachers and parents, 

conduct an observation of instructional sites, and prepare a report for the superintendent 

and School Committee. 

A written response by the school district to any identified issues noted in the Department’s 

final report will be developed by school officials. At that time, the school district may request 

technical assistance from the State DESE. 

Papagni, indicated that he is confident that the Department’s Program Review process will 

be a useful and positive experience for all staff in the district, and that the report will be a useful 

planning document for continued development of educational services for all students. 

DESE Program Review procedures provide that any member of the public may request to 

be interviewed by telephone by a member of the Department’s visiting team. Persons wishing 

to be interviewed should call the Superintendent’s Office at (508) 248-5971 ext. 1703, no later 

than Friday, March 25, to leave their name and phone number or they may call Nathan 

Lemmon at the DESE at (781) 388-3720. A member of the visiting team will then contact each 

person desiring an interview within two weeks after the completion of the onsite portion of 

the review. If an individual does not write or speak English, is not comfortable communicating 

in English, or requires some other accommodation, the Department will make arrangements 

to communicate appropriately with the individual.

Council 228 Webster 

Sponsors Scout Patches 

WEBSTER — Webster 

Knights of Columbus Council 

228 was honored to partially 

sponsor the cost of the “Duty to 

God” patches earned by members 

of the Mohegan Council of 

the Boy Scouts of America at 

Treasure Valley last summer. 

More than 150 Scouts and 

adult leaders earned the patches 

by meeting all requirements to 

qualify for this honor. As Jay 

Garee from the Mohegan 

Council states, “Duty to God is 

at the heart of the Scouting 

movement. Religious emblems 

reinforce this spiritual component 

and promote the values 

found in the Scouting program.” 

Council 228 was happy to 

assist the Scouts with the help of 

Knight William White soon to be 

ordained Deacon from St 

Anthony of Padua Parish in 

Dudley.

Child soldier speaks at Nichols College 

DUDLEY — On Thursday, March 3, in Nichols Daniels Auditorium, 

Michel Chikwanine spoke about his traumatic experiences as a child 

soldier in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

The event was sponsored by Nichols Campus Activities Board as 

part a week-long program encouraging students to “Be the Change” 

they want to see in the world. 

At only five years of age, Chikwanine and his friends were kidnapped 

by the Army. Amid the terror of the Great War of Africa 

which took the lives of 3.8 million, he witnessed the torture and 

killing of his father and the rape of his mother. His childhood was 

further ravaged when he was forced to kill his best friend. 

Chikwanine’s presentation “From Child Soldier to Child Activist” 

left the audience with a new perspective on life and a sense of hope 

through social responsibility. 

“His story was truly inspiring,” said Psychology major Kristina 

Lindgren from Sturbridge. “He taught me not to take for granted what 

I have been given.” 

Chikwanine addressed many of the problems facing the developing 

world, including the need for clean water and improved access to education. 

HR major Natalie Wilson from Bedford, NH, said: “As a woman 

in the U.S., I have the privilege of getting an education and impacting 

society for the better, where that is not an option for the women of 

Africa.” 

Chikwanine travelled to many African countries after he left his 

home as a refugee at the age of 11. Today, he is an accomplished motivational 

speaker, addressing audiences across North America and 

speaking on Oprah’s O Ambassadors Roots of Action Tour for students 

at resource-poor schools.

OMS students make healthy 

food choices at food tasting 

Grade 8: George Baraklilis, Thomas Pupka, Nathan Schultz, Alexander Shadis, Megan Howe, Amber 

Trybalski. 

OXFORD — As part of “Nutrition” month 

all students at Oxford Middle School participated 

in the annual Food-Tasting Day on 

March 4. 

Students were able to sample melon, kiwi, 

squash, pineapples, varieties of bell peppers, 

and a variety of exotic fruits and vegetables 

for example, star fruit. The Jump Up & Go! 

Healthy Choices simple 5-2-1 message promotes 

eating 5 fruits and vegetables per day, 

limiting “tube time” to 2 hours or less per 

day, and participating in at least 1 hour of 

physical activity per day. 

Food Service Director Ms. Pat Hokanson 

organized and ran the event. Students were 

able to take free samples of fruits and vegetables 

during each lunch period. They also 

received a bookmark promoting the importance 

of having “color” in your diet in regard 

to fruits and vegetables and a physical activity 

tip card. Students enjoyed the day and got 

the opportunity to try a variety of fruits and 

vegetables that may not have been familiar to 

them. 

Hannaford’s of Uxbridge has been a huge 

sponsor each year of the Healthy Choices 

program. They provided OMS with a gift card 

that was used to purchase the unusual and 

exotic foods for this event. Mr. Milliner, 

Assistant Principal and also a member of the 

Oxford Middle School Wellness team, purchased 

the food with the assistance of the 

grocery department of the Uxbridge 

Hannaford’s store. Without community sponsors 

like Hannafords these events would not 

be possible. Oxford Middle School thanks 

Hannaford’s for their continued support.

CCC CAT OF THE WEEK: ANNA 

Hi. My name is Anna. 

I am a female Tortie/Siamese female who is 1 1/2 years old. Someone left me at a flea 

market with a “free” sign. A nice lady took me and brought me to the CCC shelter. 

Even though I like it here, I would really like a home of my own so I can get all the 

attention. I am a very active cat, and I love to play. Sometimes I get so excited that I give 

a little playful nibble to whoever is playing with me. I get along with some of the cats 

here, but not all of them. So it might be best if I am the only cat in my new home. 

Please come visit me at the CCC. If you can’t adopt me, maybe you could sponsor me. 

Anyone can sponsor a cat by giving a monthly donation for that cat. You give any 

amount you wish, and your name is placed on the cat’s cage as his/her sponsor (if you 

want). There’s no commitment. However, most sponsors usually try to continue their 

sponsorship until that cat gets adopted to his/her forever home. 

The CCC also wants to help the homeless kitties out there. If there’s a homeless population 

in your area, call the CCC and they can come trap, neuter and return them to 

prevent more homeless kittens from being born. 

The CCC is also currently looking for foster homes for cats that are trapped in our 

TNR (trap-neuter-return) program and are too friendly to return to the wild. The TNR 

program was originally designed to trap wild (feral) cats and spay/neuter them and 

return them so that they would not repopulate. However, we are now finding cats in 

our traps who are not wild, cats who were once someone’s pets and have since been 

abandoned. It breaks out hearts to have to return these cats with the feral cats. We 

know these cats can be adopted into good homes, but we don’t have room at the shelter 

to take them all in. So, we are looking for foster families to each foster one of these cats 

until there is room at the shelter. The CCC covers all costs for foster cats including 

food, litter and vet bills. The foster families only need to provide love for these beautiful 

animals. If you are interested in fostering a cat, please call or stop by the CCC. 

The CCC is also desperately in need of volunteers for all shifts. If you’re interested 

in volunteering, please stop in and fill out an application, or download and submit an

Up for 

auction 

Starting this week, our faithful readers 

can expect a little something 

extra from the Webster Times, and 

it’s all for a good cause. 

In conjunction with the Southbridge Relay 

for Life and the American Cancer Society, 

this newspaper (as well as our weekly sister 

publications, the Sturbridge Villager, 

Charlton Villager, Spencer New Leader and 

our daily Southbridge Evening News) will 

conduct the fourth annual silent auction for 

the Relay, running through Thursday April 

7. 

Some great auction items will be up for 

grabs, including annual favorites as well as 

some new items — such as a hot air balloon 

ride for two; two Red Sox tickets, a gift certificate 

for a one year subscription to the 

Southbridge Evening News, a Kinect system 

for XBox 360, a 22” LCD TV with DVD player 

and about 100 other items including gift certificates 

to various businesses and many 

more items — all donated by supporters of 

the American Cancer Society Relay For Life 

of the Greater Southbridge Area. 

All money raised will go to the 2011 


the Greater Southbridge Area to benefit cancer 

research, education, advocacy and 

patient support services. 

Perhaps the greatest thing about this 

fundraiser is that you can do it from the comfort 

of your own home! Peruse the various 

items that will grace these pages next week, 

find yourself something you like and support 

a great cause by making a purchase. 

It’s no secret that times are tough right 

now for many area residents. But it’s also no 

secret that cancer has not been affected by 

the economy. It is still a threat, and the 

American Cancer Society needs every cent 

available to fund important cancer research 

that can (and someday will) save lives. 

So if you think you may have a few extra 

bucks that can help out the Relay, take look a 

the Times, make a bid, and support the Relay 

for Life. You won’t be sorry you did!

Proposed salary increases ‘alarming’

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

To the Editor: 

I would like to congratulate the citizens of 

Webster for their overwhelming support of 

the proposed new police station on Main 

Street. 

A project like this one is what the town 

needs in order for it to attract new businesses 

and new residents. For as long as I can 

remember, the majority of Main Street stores 

were vacant with the few exceptions of rooted 

businesses and new businesses coming 

but quickly vanishing. Hopefully new businesses 

will feel comfortable settling into 

empty Main Street stores with the presence 

of a new police station, and the eyesore, that 

is the Vito block, gone. 

Sometimes communities such as ours need 

to make investments for the future of the 

town. Without these investments, future generations 

will often decide to live and raise 

their families elsewhere. Webster needs to 

make tremendous strides in cleaning up the 

vacant and dilapidated buildings that are 

scattered around this town. As a lifelong resident 

of Webster, I am proud of the steps our 

town has taken to address these issues in the 

last few years. As a community, let us work 

together and continue to make these investments 

to improve it. Perhaps, these improvements 

will make our young people proud of 

where they grew up, and make them want to 

raise our families here just like their parents. 

In this section last week, there were three

Police station OK ‘long overdue’ 


It’s wonderful good news that they pass the 

town article for the new police station and 

fire station renovation project — it’s been 

long overdue in Webster. 

It’s wonderful to see good people like the 

Fels Foundation, Randy and Donna Becker to 

donate to a good worthy causes such as this 

one coming up money and land to build the 

much needed new police station, on Main 

Street Vito Block. 

Everyone that worked on this committee 

did an excellent, wonderful job at it. What 

I’ve been hearing around town, the voters 

will be getting a nice building that in the long 

run, they will appreciate it more once it is 

finally built and the eyesore of the Vito Block 

is torn down. 

I can remember all this when I worked 

before as a sub-patrolman on the police force, 

EMT-A on the Webster Ambulance Squad 

and Fire Department. 

And for the Fire and Rescue Department its 

a terrible shame to see town vehicles being 

stored outside that is use for saving lives and 

property while it should be stored in a warm 

SOUND OFF 

The future is at stake 

anonymously written articles that warn us of 

prospective debt that the town will incur 

from not only the new police station project, 

but other projects that are in the pipeline, 

such as the library and elementary school. To 

this anonymous writer I say first, do not be 

afraid to publish your name with your 

thoughts, and second, this town has sat idle 

for too long on each of these projects. I am not 

questioning your devotion to this town, or 

disregarding your concerns because there 

are indeed valid. But I sincerely ask you to 

imagine for a moment the future of Webster. 

Do you want Main Street to look like it does 

in the next 10, 20, or 30 years? Or would you 

rather have a Main Street bustling with 

young families shopping at the numerous 

stores that will occupy the current empty 

stores? Let’s not stand in the way of people 

who are simply interested in making this 

town better for those who inhabit it now and 

in the future. 

We find our country at an economic crossroads. 

We can stall and sit patiently while we 

wait for the economy to fix itself. Or we make 

sacrifices by investing in projects that will 

inevitably help the community in the future. 

Do we play it safe, or sacrifice? The future is 

at stake.

The Webster Public Safety officials would like to thank all our residents who attended the 

Town Meeting on March 7. 

The overwhelming majority voted in favor of the proposed new police station/fire station 

rehabilitation project. It is obvious that the majority of voters understood how important this 

project would be in moving the town forward on several levels. 

worked in over a year education 

at the administration level seems 

to be the profession to enter. 

Are these salary increases 

given at the expense of not buying 

books and school supplies. 

Another disturbing thing is the 

high school has been placed on 

“under performing” status by 

federal and state education 

authorities and the administration 

is getting hefty raises. Are 

we rewarding individuals for 

doing less than acceptable work? 

How do you explain the salary 

increases to someone who has 

been laid off or has to take less 

hours or go without an increase 

in pay and contribute more to 

their family insurance coverage. 

The taxpayers of Webster 

should be alarmed at the proposed 

salary increases during 

these hard and difficult times. 

SOUND OFF: 

I visited the Mt. Zion cemetery on Sunday to pray over family. 

Disgusted to find out that officials are letting someone tap maple 

sugar trees for a maple syrup business. 

If it’s a school project for the public school, it’s OK. But if it’s for a 

private person doing it to make some money, it’s not. 

I wonder if our Board of Selectmen knows of this taking place? 

Someone went in there, took a power drill few inches into the tree 

trunk inserted a copper tubing pipe, nailed 10 one-gallon jugs into five 

SOUND OFF: 

It is widely known throughout 

Town of Webster that the School 

Department asked for a more 

than 9 percent increase for its 

administration staff members. 

Our School Committee should 

be asking for resignations, not 

approving raises. Why should 

Webster taxpayers accept this? 

What are we getting in return? 

Where is the accountability 

here? 

Are we rewarding the school 

system for improving our state 

ranking? I don’t think so. Our 

school system still ranks at the 

bottom in the state and we are 

ranked 302 out of 335 schools on 

the school digger website too. 

That’s the bottom 10 percent of 

the public schools in 

Massachusetts. So once again, 

the school department wants to 

be rewarded for bad grades and

with the future expansion of the station 

there will be plenty of room for this to happen. 

Maybe someday they can put an actual roof 

on top of the Fire and Rescue Station like 

they did in the Town of Dudley fire station — 

flat roof construction is terrible for bad winter 

climates with constant roofing problems 

leaks and roof cave ins. 

Once again congratulations to the Webster 

Police and Fire Departments and its committee 

of folks. You all did an outstanding job 

and will be commended for it once it is built 

and moved into for occupancy police and fire 

stations. 

Now I hope someday the town will make 

better use of the former National Guard

little improvement. 

How about taking action? A 

real school committee in Center 

Falls, R.I., voted 5-2 to eliminate 

more than 93 teachers and principal 

to clean house after years of 

underperforming. So what will 

our School Committee do? I am 

betting on nothing besides cracking 

a few jokes, and then they 

will approve those hefty increases 

(paid for by taxpayer of 

Webster). 

The taxpayers really need to 

stand up and say “We have had 

enough.” If the School 

Committee really wants a better 

school system, then it’s time to 

start cutting the budgets, cutting 

jobs and it’s time to clean house 

from the top down. The residents 

of Webster have waited years for 

the turnaround, it’s time to bring 

in new faces, new methods — 

now. 

trees — that’s about 10 gallons a day of sap if the weather conditions 

are good that day. Private landowners do offer the use of their property 

to maple syrup farmers. Most charge a fee for it — after all maple 

syrup does sell. Is Webster charging a fee? 

Out-of-town residents should be charged the same fee as they would 

charge at the town beach for usage. Someone is tapping our maple 

trees for free while in return, back taxpayer’s pockets are being 

tapped out? No bids were posted? St. Joseph, St. Anthony, Sacred 

Heart cemeteries — none of this is being done. 

I 

Out of place 

at a carnival 

parade 

could hear the sharp sound of whips hitting 

the pavement even before I’d untangled 

my feet from the cobblestones that 

lined the streets of the Slovenian town of 

Ptuj. 

A large crowd had gathered 

on both sides of the 

long, narrow road that 

wrapped around the outskirts 

of the town, and the 

surge of people seemed to 

move backwards in a wave 

as the first whip hit the 

ground. 

For a moment, the parade 

had stopped. Two men 

KRISTAL dressed in traditional 

Slovenian clothing — 

KLEAR embroidered vests, dark 

pants, and peasant hats — 

KRIS REARDON were flicking their wrists to 

show off traditional leather 

whips. Their movements 

seemed off-handed, but their choreography 

must have been carefully choreographed. 

Their whips never came close to touching 

anyone in the crowd as they made impressive 

swoops through the air. 

In a moment, after we reached the edge of 

the crowd, the men marched forward, and the 

traditional Kurentovanje — or, Carnival — 

parade continued. 

Musicians playing folk music on accordions 

passed by, as did marching bands from neighboring 

towns in Slovenia and nearby countries, 

including Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary, 

Austria and Croatia. 

Some groups were dressed in elaborate costumes 

— one homemade float featured more 

than a dozen adults and children dressed as 

giant squirrels. Another long float represented 

the Kulpa River, which runs along 

Slovenia’s border with Croatia. Poking 

through person-sized holes in a long band of 

blue fabric and paper at waist level, some of 

the participants were dressed as ducks, others 

as fish poking their heads up, and still others 

as kayakers paddling along. 

While neither Ptuj nor the crowd gathered 

could rival the size of an American Mardi 

Gras in New Orleans, the gathering was quite 

large for Slovenia’s standards. Each year it is 

estimated that around 70,000 people gather on 

the Sunday before Ash Wednesday, known as 

Shrove Sunday, to watch parades across 

Slovenia, with 9,000 or so people participating 

in them. For a country of roughly 2 million 

inhabitants, that’s a significant number. 

The most significant portion of the parade 

included the most traditional elements: close 

to 1,000 kurents, who look like bears with 

horns. While unmarried men traditionally 

played the role of kurents, nowadays married 

men, women, and even children can don pelts 

of sheep skin, covering their whole bodies, 

only their eyes peeking out through a wooden 

mask. With horns on their heads and bright 

red socks, they also carry several heavy cowbells 

on a rope or leather belt around their 

waists. 

The kurents jumped and shimmied down 

the streets of Ptuj as I looked on, letting their 

bells clang loudly in hopes of scaring away 

winter. 

All of a sudden, right out of the crowd, a 

large kurent approached me. Reaching out his 

hand, I wasn’t sure what he wanted. I wanted 

to sink into the ground or run away, never 

being one to eagerly answer the call: “Can we 

get a volunteer from the audience?” But the 

cobblestones were, well, hard as rocks, as the 

saying goes, and I was blocked up against a 

wall. There was no escape, and the kurent 

kept getting closer, until he was jumping 

around me in circles as the crowd laughed 

wildly. 

Only later did I learn that kurents approach 

unmarried women, who traditionally give the 

kurent a handkerchief to avoid my embarrassing 

fate. 

Next in line after the kurents was a group of 

young men dressed in traditional peasant 

clothing, running out into the crowd trying to 

kiss girls or earn kisses themselves, adding 

one more set of lipstick stained kisses to their 

faces. Traditionally, the single men who were 

on the market for a wife would parade around 

at the carnival, so that young women could 

identify potential mates for the coming year’s 

weddings. 

Carnival consists of 10 or more days of 

parades and masquerade parties all around 

the country. It’s not uncommon for children 

and adults alike to prepare as many as three 

different costumes for the celebration, which 

is a less commercial and more intense version 

of Halloween: children often go door to door 

asking for a mandarin or small change, reciting 

a phrase at the door that kind of resembles 

the concept of “trick or treat!” when 

translated. 

This year, Ptuj was celebrating the 50th 

anniversary of its modern carnival. It was 

elected to the European Federation of 

Carnival Cities in 1991, and it will serve as a 

European Capital of Culture in 2012. 

“Is this like parades in America?” my



VIEWPOINT 

School dazed 

Acouple of noteworthy 

notes 

from last 

week’s evening (television) 

news. 

Item Number One: 

a member (or chairman) 

of an area 

(Massachusetts, anyway) 

school board 

came up with a proposal 

to quit closing schools “on 

every religious holiday.” Specifically, 

he seemed to want to keep his local 

schools open for both Rosh 

Hashanah and Good Friday. He said 

it was to make things “more consistent” 

and in line with “everyone’s 

(parents’ and teachers’ and students’) 

wants and needs” and to 

make things more efficient and more 

academically productive. Our twoword 

assessment of his explanation: 

Buh-Loney! 

We’re not sure who he thinks he’s 

fooling, but he’s apparently never 

spoken to an actual parent or teacher 

or student if he thinks they 

want/need fewer breaks and more 

“consistency” in their work/study 

AS

ASHTON 

schedules. As to the 

religious aspect of 

his proposal, why 

doesn’t he opt 

instead for the 

relaxation of holidays 

on, say, 

Patriots Day or 

Columbus Day, 

which deal with the 

fervency of founding 

fathers and the joys of discovery, 

both more easily attached to educational 

goals. 

The second item is also school 

related. In a totally unrelated school 

district, a Bay State principal 

announced last week that he would 

be sending automated wake-up calls 

to students in his high school, in an 

effort to reduce their lateness and/or 

absences, which were putting certain 

students’ academic careers in jeopardy. 

In fact, he was reserving the calls 

for students who had “maxed out” 

their tardiness allowances and were 

thus endangering their good standing 

as students eligible for advancement 

and/or graduation. We don’t 

remember the name of the town or 

school in question, but it doesn’t really 

matter. However close by they may 

be, this is an idea whose time, so to 

speak, hasn’t come – or at least we 

certainly hope it hasn’t. 

As well intentioned as the principal’s 

plan may be (and we believe it’s 

already in operation), it flies in the 

face of one of the true missions of 

education: to educate. Or maybe it’s 

the goals of self-improvement, or 

self-discipline, or instilling a work 

ethic that are at odds with this plan 

to coddle rather than conquer the 

“victims” of frequent tardiness. 

This principal is denying the principles 

of hard work and self-determination, 

along with the blessings 

attendant in honest effort, 

endurance, and sacrifice. All these 

kids really need to do is show up to 

their classrooms on time, and he’s 

admitting that they’re incapable of 

doing so on their own — or with 

merely their families’ meager assistance? 

Isn’t attendance — on time — the 

bare minimum requirement for successfully 

completing a public education? 

If the students in question can’t 

(or don’t) want an education enough 

to merely “be there” when they’re 

supposed to be, then of what value is 

any degree, or diploma, or GED that 

the principal wants to ensure they 

have “earned?” (And, really, how will 

they have “earned” it if they haven’t 

done so without his literal wake-up 

call for the remainder of their school 

careers?) 

And just what lesson(s) will they 

have learned? That somebody (everybody) 

owes them whatever it is they 

want or need? Will this principal set 

up a similar wake-up call for their 

first job? Will he follow them into the 

military to help them rise and shine 

at his invitation instead of the harsh 

reality of reveille? Just what principles 

does this principal want his perpetually 

tardy charges to take to 

heart? 

It all reminds us of a wonderful 

“paraprosdokian” (we were unfamiliar 

with the term until it was 

emailed to us recently and defined as 

“a figure of speech in which the latter 

part … is surprising … in a way 

that causes the reader to re-frame or 

reinterpret the first part.” The one 

we have in mind is this: “I asked God 

for a bike, but I know God doesn’t 

work that way. So I stole a bike and 

asked for forgiveness.” 

This seems to be in line with the 

“favor” this principal is doing for his 

late students. While it’s commendable 

that he wants to see all his students 

successfully complete their 

school days, and while he’s right in 

suggesting that the lack of a degree 

or diploma is definitely hurtful in 

today’s job market, he is not properly 

“educating” those under his stewardship 

if he thinks he can solve their 

laziness or tardiness or other bad 

habits for them. 

Learning personal responsibility 

needs to be one of the achievements 

of every high school education, but 

that’s something that no one, however 

concerned or thoughtful or wellintentioned, 

can ever simply “give” 

to another. 

It has to be learned – and practiced 

– in person to be earned. 

Mark Ashton writes a weekly column 

for Stonebridge Press publications. 

Afew weeks ago Wayne 

wrote about gold jewelry 

and its value in today’s 

markets. 

I’d like to expand on this quite a 

bit this week to include bullion, sterling 

jewelry, silver coins, and more. I 

receive five to six calls a week from 

folks who want to convert precious 

metal assets to cash. Their reasons 

are varied, and include: 

• Raise cash to pay bills; 

• Use the funds for a vacation or a 

special project; 

• Their children have no interest 

in their collections; 

• Items are seldom or never used; 

• Cash is easier to store (bank) and 

dispose of. 

I’ve seen some pretty interesting 

assets over the years that include 

pre-1964 silver coins, .999 silver bullion 

rounds and ingots, .925 sterling 

silverware, 22 karat, 18 karat, 14 

karat, and 10 karat gold jewelry, .900 

foreign gold coins, U.S. and 

European dental gold (always interesting), 

and even .825 or .800 foreign 

silver jewelry. Recently, I’ve been 

seeing quite a few 1 Troy pound (16 

ounce) silver rounds. Often, a client 

has a combination of these items. 

But before you go running off and 

selling these valuable assets, there 

are some basic rules you should follow. 

1. Gold — Know what you have. 

Look for purity markings on each 

piece (except pre-64 silver U.S. coins, 

which we know are 90 percent silver). 

The purity of gold has to, by 

U.S. law, be clearly marked on each 

Take precautions with 

Internet connection 

I had a computer technology 

issue brought to my attention 

recently. 

I found it to be important and I 

thought people should be aware of 

this subject. Most people who have 

computers in their home have 

these devices connected to the 

Internet. Connecting to the 

Internet can be done in two ways, 

either directly via a phone or cable 

line or in a wireless method. I was 

asked to address some of the potential 

concerns regarding wireless 

connections.

explain the technical aspects of this subject, 

however; I will do my best to explain some of 

the issues that are involved. Wireless 

Internet connections are accomplished by 

utilizing a device, such as a router, that is 

connected to your landline telephone or cable 

system. This router can allow cable free 

access to the Internet by computers within a 

certain distance. The good part of this access 

is the ability to utilize a number of devices, 

such as lap top computers, video game systems, 

and other Internet capable equipment, 

without the need to connect wires. A major 

concern is if YOU can access the Internet, so 

can neighbors or others in the general vicinity 

of your home. 

Consider this to be similar to cordless telephones. 

When any device broadcasts over the 

air, there is the potential for the signal to be 

intercepted. With this being the case, someone 

could use your Internet access connection 

to conduct legitimate or improper business. 

They may also have access to your computer 

files and other personal information. 

This can cause a number of 

issues. 

Anyone with this type of computer 

access in their home or business 

should consult with a technology person 

when this is installed. Most wireless 

routers are programmed with 

standard passwords set at the factory. 

Many of these can be obtained 

through the companies. This means if 

you can get them easily, others can as 

well. These passwords should be 

changed as soon as the device is 

installed. Other measures to “lock 

down” your Internet access should 

also be taken, such as limiting the specific 

computers allowed on your system. 

With identity theft crimes occurring on a 

frequent basis these days, it is important to 

control the access on your computers. 

Research the subject with a professional, online, 

and/or through the companies providing 

your wireless connection before installation. 

By taking a few precautions, you can 

enjoy the convenience of wireless Internet 

use while protecting your computers and personal 

information.

Opinions expressed in this weekly column are 

those of Chief Wojnar only and unless clearly 

noted, do not reflect the ideas or opinions of

piece. The purity will be stated with 

a number and then either a “K” for 

“karat”, or “KP” for “karat plumb.” 

Remember that pure gold is 24 

karat, and that jewelry and coins are 

not made of pure gold because it is 

too soft for use. Usually copper is 

added to give the item durability 

and strength. 

2. Silver — Silver pieces also have 

to be marked, by law, either with 

“.999” for bullion, or “sterling” or 

“.925” for sterling silver pieces. 

Foreign jewelry also has to be 

marked with the purity. I recently 

received a middle eastern silver 

piece from Israel marked “.825.” 

Don’t assume that all “silverware” 

is sterling. If it is, it has to be 

marked as noted above. Most people 

assume that “Wm Rogers” silverware 

is sterling. In most cases it’s 

not. 

3. No Mark — If there isn’t a visible 

mark on the piece, chances are 

it’s not gold or silver. The exception 

to this is if the item is heavily worn 

then the marking may have become 

obliterated over time. In this case, 

read on… 

4. Sell local — We’ve all seen 

advertising on TV and in the newspapers 

how the “XYZ” company will 

be in your area buying “for top dollar.” 

Well, that’s not the case. 

These people have travel costs, 

lodging costs, advertising costs, and 

other overhead. They can’t pay top 

dollar. Your other option is to sell to 

a local jewelry store, merchant, or 

metals dealer. Local buyers have 

more at stake in giving you a fair 

price. Once the transaction is complete, 

they still have to do business 

locally. Treating clients unfairly 

isn’t going to help their future business 

one bit. On the other hand, 

traveling buying groups are gone 

after the sale is completed. 

5. If any of your pieces are 

unmarked, make sure the buyer will 

assay (determine the purity of the 

metal) of each piece. Be sure the 

buyer is willing to return all nonprecious 

metal pieces to you when 

payment for the other pieces is 

received. Ask for a written list of 

each piece, or group of pieces in the 

case of small pieces, to include the 

weight of each piece and the total 

weight of each type of item ( by 

purity or category). 

6. Precious stones — I always 

return to the seller, whatever stones 

(precious or not) that can easily be 

removed from the jewelry. Small 

parve diamonds are usually an 

exception since they’re very difficult 

to remove from their settings. If 

you want any of the stones back be 

sure to tell the buyer before handing 

over the items. 

7. Ninety percent silver coins — 

These are sold using a different 

standard than bullion and jewelry. 

Silver coins are sold on a “per face 

dollar” standard. This is because 

some of the silver is simply “lost” in 

the course of the coin’s circulation, 

so an average is determined by the 

precious metals industry and the 

“per face dollar value” is closely tied 

to the ever-changing spot metal 

When you’re working, you have a 

financial strategy that is largely 

based on one goal: saving 

money for a comfortable retirement. 

You’ll likely have to make many 

adjustments over several decades to ensure 

that you stay on track saving and investing. 

But once you retire, a new goal arises 

— investing so you can remain retired. To 

help yourself achieve this goal, you will 

need to make a number of investment decisions. 

Which of these decisions are most important? 

Here are five to consider: 

How much will you spend each year? Before 

you can pursue an appropriate investment 

strategy, you’ll need to know about how much 

you’ll spend each year. Estimate your costs for 

housing, food, travel, entertainment, insurance, 

gifts — everything. Keep in mind that 

your expenses will likely change annually, 

especially for items such as health care. Don’t 

forget about inflation, which will likely cause 

your expenses to increase over the years. 

How should you balance your investment 

portfolio to provide sufficient income and 

growth opportunities? Clearly, you’ll need 

your investments to provide a source of 

income during your retirement years. At the 

same time, you will need some growth potential 

to overcome the effects of inflation, which 

can erode your purchasing power. 

Consequently, you will need a mix of incomeand 

growth-oriented investments, with the 

proportions depending on your risk tolerance 

and your lifestyle. 

How much should you withdraw each year 

from your investment portfolio? The answer 

depends on several factors, including your 

retirement lifestyle, the size and performance 

of your investment portfolio, inflation, your 

estimated life expectancy and the size of the 

estate you’d like to leave. This decision is 

important, because the amount you withdraw 

each year will directly affect how long your 

money lasts.

Five key decisions for retirees 

From which accounts 

should you begin taking 

withdrawals? You may have 

built three different types of 

accounts: taxable, taxdeferred 

and tax-free. It may 

be a good idea to take withdrawals 

from your taxable 

accounts first, thereby 

allowing your tax-deferred 

FINANCIAL accounts, such as your 

Traditional IRA and your 

FOCUS 401(k), more time to compound 

and potentially 

increase in value. If you 

JEFF BURDICK 

have a tax-free account, 

such as a Roth IRA, save it 

for last to maximize the compounding on 

money on which you will never pay taxes. 

(Roth IRA earnings grow tax-free if you’ve 

had your account at least five years and you 

don’t begin taking withdrawals until you’re at 

least 59-1/2.) That said, this is just a rule of 

thumb. 

When should you take Social Security? You 

can begin taking Social Security as early as 

age 62, but your monthly checks will be considerably 

larger if you wait until your “normal” 

retirement age, which is likely 65 or 66. 

But if you need the money, you may be better 

off by taking Social Security at 62 and giving 

your tax-deferred accounts more time to 

potentially grow. 

As you can see, you’ll need a lot of expertise 

to successfully manage your financial and 

investment situations during retirement. If 

you don’t already work with a financial advisor 

and a tax professional, now would be a 

good time to start. Once you’ve got your financial 

strategy in place, you’ll be better prepared 

to enjoy an active, fulfilling retirement.

you keep throwing it up until it 

won’t go in anymore.” 

Pryor now has 1,209 points and 

broke the record in the first quarter 

when he scored his fourth point of 

the contest. 

The first quarter was a back-andforth 

affair, with the Rams managing 

to hold a 20-16 lead at quarter’s 

end. Both teams were hitting shots, 

and it was really a battle between 

Pryor and Oxford senior Decarlo 

Anderson. 

Both players had 9 points in the 

frame, but Pryor netted 11 more in 

the second quarter while Anderson 

only gained 4 more. 

Northbridge led at halftime, 33- 

31. 

“In the first half I said this game 

could be summed up in two words: 

Pryor, Anderson,” said Halloran. 

“They couldn’t stop Anderson and 

we couldn’t stop Pryor. In the second 

half they doubled down on 

Decarlo and we couldn’t get him the 

ball.” 

Anderson (10 rebounds) scored 

just three more points in the second 

half to finish with 16, while Pryor 

kept firing, scoring 6 points in the 

third quarter and 10 more in the 

fourth. 

The Pirates looked for others to 

score when the ball couldn’t be fed 

inside to Anderson, and early in the 

third quarter it was senior Brendan 

Tremblay who got the 

team going. Tremblay 

(9 points) scored two 

early hoops, the latter 

of which tied the score 

at 35-35, but from that 

point forward 

Tremblay and senior 

Jeff Bolio missed some 

close-range shots that 

they would like to have 

back.

said Halloran.

Despite a slow first half of the 

season Baker noticed that his team 

had potential, and it all culminated 

with a district championship. 

“We were 6-4 at one point,” he 

said. “I knew we still had a good

Dudley Blue Devils girls’ 5th graders finish undefeated 



The Dudley Blue Devils girls’ 5th grade basketball 

team, a collection of student-athletes 

from Dudley Middle School, accomplished a 

feat that doesn’t happen too often: a perfect 

season. 

The Blue Devils capped off an undefeated 

12-0 regular season and then won two playoff 

games to win the South Central Mass. Youth 

Basketball League (SCMYBL) championship. 

The girls’ 5th grade division consisted of 

nine teams, and Dudley beat them all. 

“Our season took off,” said Dudley coach 

Todd Costa. “We really had a good year. We 

had an overtime game and a couple other 

games that were within five or seven points. 

But we went 12-0 and got the No. 1 seed.” 

Three other teams advanced to the playoff 

round, and Dudley first squared off in a semifinal 

contest with No. 4 Douglas on March 5. 

After surviving a scare, 25-23, Dudley 

advanced to the championship game vs. No. 2 

West Boylston on March 6, who entered the 

game at 12-1 with their only loss to the Blue 

Devils. 

With the score tied 11-11 at halftime, 

Dudley persevered late to win 36-19 and finish 

undefeated. 

The league is used as a feeder system to the 

Shepherd Hill program, and basketball skills 

are taught, but with it being a travel league 

the competition is intense and winning is an 

important part to the team. 

“It’s a travel league, so it is the equivalent 

of All-Star baseball or soccer,” said Costa. 

“You go play other All-Stars from other 

towns, so it is competitive. 

“It’s not just basketball skills, it’s also 

about life skills on the court and off,” added 

Costa. 

The Blue Devils are consisted of nine girls 

who either began their season last summer 

or during fall league competition. 

Costa couldn’t be more proud of his team. 

“I couldn’t work with nine better girls,” he 

said. “I’d say that if we were 0-14 or 14-0. They 

want to work hard and learn. They want to be 

part of the program.” 

With Costa and Dave Bellantoni assisting, 

the Blue Devils consisted of Emily Costa, 

Sarah Bellantoni, Meghan Campbell, Karina 

Provost, Brittny Bond, Makayla Norton, 

Isabella Pellegrine, Sierra Sieracki, and 

Theodora Weronis. 

The SCMYBL includes nine divisions ranging 

from boys teams grades 4-8 and girls 

teams grades 5-8, with Costa and Jim Stochaj 

serving as directors of the program for 

Dudley. 

Seven of the nine Dudley teams advanced 

to the playoffs, with the boys’ 5th grade team 

also winning the championship, in addition 

to the 5th grade girls’ team. 


The Dudley Blue Devils 5th grade girls’ basketball team finished off a 14-0 season on March 6 when they 

defeated West Boylston 36-19 for the South Central Mass. Youth Basketball League championship.

NEWS BRIEFS 

Hewitt to oversee North County branch conversions 

OXFORD — Michael D. Hewitt has been appointed senior 

vice president at Hometown Bank, and a member of the 

executive management team, according to President and 

CEO Matthew S. Sosik. 

Hewitt’s primary role will be to oversee the merger of 

Athol-Clinton Cooperative Bank into Hometown Bank and 

conversion of its Athol and Lancaster branches into 

Hometown Bank branches. 

When the merger is complete, Michael will be responsible 

for management of the staff of both branches and for growing 

the Hometown Bank customer base in northern 

Worcester and Franklin counties, where he will also manage 

the commercial and residential loan portfolios and create a 

lending platform for high quality loan originations. 

Hewitt has more than 30 years of diverse experience in the 

commercial and retail banking industry. No stranger to the 

region, he most recently held the position of executive vice 

president, chief operating officer and chief lending officer at 

Fidelity Co-operative Bank in Leominster. 

A resident of Fitchburg, Michael is treasurer of the board 

of directors of RCAP Solutions (Resources for Communities 

and People) in Gardner, and a member of the board of directors 

of the Thayer Symphony. He also serves on the finance 

committee of St. Anthony’s Parish, Fitchburg, the planning 

committee for the Diocese of Worcester Men’s Conference, 

and is a member of the Fitchburg East Rotary. 

Frost, Kuros offer local aid resolution 

BOSTON — State Rep. Paul K. Frost, R-Auburn, and State 

Rep. Kevin Kuros, R-Uxbridge, announced they, along with 

the entire Republican caucus, offered a Local Aid Resolution 

during the House’s full formal session on Wednesday, March 

9. 

Kuros and Frost offered this resolution with their colleagues 

to push the state legislature into giving advance 

information to our local communities on what they can 

expect as minimums for local aid from the state for the Fiscal 

Year 2012 State Budget. 

Frost commented, “Local aid should be a priority in our 

state budget process. Local services are the most important 

services most of our constituents use or count on, on a daily 

basis. Giving our towns and cities advance notice on what 

they can expect from the state legislature is a great benefit to 

them to plan their own municipal budgets based on facts and 

not guesses on local aid.” 

Kuros noted, “A consensus revenue number was reached 

more than a month ago by House leadership. Our resolution 

sought to get a ‘hold harmless’ number into the hands of our 

municipal leaders in time for their spring town meetings, 

but our efforts were derailed by a procedural move despite 

revenue tracking well ahead of projections.” 

The resolution proposes the following: 

1. Establish a minimum level of Chapter 70 and 

Unrestricted Local Aid equal the amount proposed by the 

Governor for fiscal 2012. 

a. The minimum Chapter 70 appropriation must equal 

$3.99 billion for sical 2012; and 

b. The minimum Unrestricted Local Aid appropriation 

must equal $899 million. 

2. Establish a minimum level of funding for each of the following 

accounts to equal the amount proposed by the 

Governor for fiscal 2012 

a. Reimbursement to Cities in Lieu of Taxes - $25.3 million 

b. Regional School Transportation - $40.5 million 

c. Special Education Residential Schools - $213 million 

This resolution would provide among other things, flexibility 

during budget debate so that the Legislature might further 

increase local aid appropriations from an established 

floor. It also provides predictability for municipalities who 

are already constructing their budgets. With one single 

objection, the resolution was referred to the House 

Committee on Rules without any opportunity for debate.

Community reeling from 

death at Auburn Mall 

FALL 


Mark was the son of Eric and 

Laura DiBona. 

On Monday, March 14, the State 

Department of Public Safety 

Commissioner Thomas G. Gatzunis 

issued a statement suspending two 

inspectors who had previously 

inspected the escalator. The names 

are not being released at this time, 

according to Gatzunis’ office. 

“Our continuing investigation has 

shown both inspectors failed to properly 

inspect the unit,” he said. “A barricade 

that should have been in place 

between the side of the escalator and 

the wall was missing. That created a 

gap larger than allowed by code. The 

code requires a barricade for openings 

over 5 inches. This opening was 

6 1/4 inches.” 

The commissioner also stated that 

all escalators inspected by those two 

individuals would be re-inspected by 

other state inspectors. 

He also expressed his condolences 

to the family. 

“The loss of 4-year-old Mark is 

unimaginable.” 

Kim Freely, spokeswoman for 

Sears said, “Our thoughts and 

prayers are with the family and we’re 

continuing to cooperate with the 

investigation.” 

At the mall Monday, March 14, the 

mood was somber. 

“This sounds like a freak accident,” 

said Lisa Scokis, of Worcester, 

who explained that she remembered 

hearing about the dangers of escalators 

from a middle school teacher 

who talked about someone who had 

gotten the rubber of their shoe stuck 

on an escalator. 

“My thoughts and prayers are with 

the family,” said Sara Tanouchabong, 

of Auburn, expressing her condolences 

on Monday. 

Auburn Mall General Manager 

Holly Carpenter also issued a statement. 

“We are deeply saddened by this 

tragic accident and are overcome 

with grief,” Carpenter said. “Our 

thoughts and prayers are with the 

family during this difficult time.” 

State Police Detectives and Auburn 

Police are continuing to investigate, 

but report that there are no signs of 

foul play.

After difficult winter, Bartlett 

renewing rule structure 

BARTLETT 


ures include several different factors. He said one of 

these is summer vacation dropouts, which have ranged 

below 10 students all three years. This is the same for students 

who made the choice to leave school after the Oct. 1 

deadline in 2008 there were 26; in 2009, 24 students 

dropped out; and in 2010 there were 23. 

Hackenson said he is looking forward to seeing new 

tools like the Advocacy Program get to work in the hopes 

that they might help prevent future growth of the 

dropout numbers. 

“The Advocacy program at the high school will be helpful 

in this process,” said Hackenson. 

He said during the past few week he and his staff have 

been working to re-establish protocols that have been 

hard to maintain after vacation and during the many 

snow days the district has experienced this winter. 

Hackenson said during February vacation he and 

other members of the faculty re-evaluated how to enforce 

the rules. He said with this new continuity and consistency 

from faculty there are fewer students wandering the 

halls, and less cases of tardiness. 


A Dudley boy died Saturday, March 12, after falling from an escalator in the Sears 

Department Store in the Auburn Mall Friday, March 11. 

“I can honestly tell you that we did not have a good 

start to the school year in January,” said Hackenson. 

“Things [were] not good at Bartlett, and I think that was 

with the inconsistency of missing school quite a bit in 

January. I don’t think we had a full week of school, we 

had exams, we as administrators and teachers dropped 

our guard, and we got frustrated to a breaking point.” 

He said they have also started in-school suspension to 

help students stay tied into the curriculum, and Saturday 

school where students can make up for the work they 

have missed during time spent in out-of-school suspension. 

“We are getting very positive feedback from parents 

already,” said Hackenson. “We reviewed the rules, regulation, 

and protocol for rules and regulation and how to 

report certain issues, and make all students accountable, 

this along with how to make all teachers accountable and 

how to make all administrators accountable. 

I think it is good to say that the teachers and administration 

over February vacation got together and decided 

what are we going to do about this. We can’t continue this 

way.”

Some more money saving tips 

TAKE 

THE 

HINT 

KAREN 

TRAINOR 

With rising 

inflation 

forecasts, 

sky-high 

gas prices and a looming 

tax day deadline, 

there’s never been a 

better time to tighten 

the family’s financial 

belt. 

Read on for workable 

strategies to help you save money on 

everyday expenses. 

Supermarket Switches: If you are 

buying all name brand products at the 

supermarket because you believe the 

quality is better than store brand 

items, you might want to rethink your 

savings strategy. Did you know government 

regulations require the same production 

and storage procedures for certain 

goods whether they are generic or 

name brand? When buying sugar, flour, 

salt and spices the cheaper choice is 

often the best bet to save money without 

sacrificing quality or flavor. 

*** 

Plug in Savings: OK, you’re feeling 

really good about snagging a bargain 

on a fancy new printer or TV — until 

the salesperson tells you it’s going to 

cost another $100 for a cable to connect 

it! Before you dish out more money for 

a high priced connector at an upscale 

electronics store, think again. 

Typically, the electronic cables found at 

a discount department store can do the 

job just as well for a fraction of the 

cost. 

*** 

Shake, bake and save: It’s a fact that 

packaged spice mixes make cooking a 

meal easier and tastier. But convenience 

comes at a cost. Here’s a “recipe” for a 

chicken (or pork) baking coating that 

rivals the commercial brand for a lot 

less money. If you like it, plan to package 

up several batches at a time in ziplock 

plastic bags and store in your cupboard. 

You’ll save both money and time! 

Ingredients: 4 cups flour, 2 tsp. 

Cayenne pepper, 1 cup bran flake cereal, 

crushed, 2 TB parsley flakes, 2 tsp. garlic 

powder, 1 TB onion 

powder, 2 tsp. chili powder, 

2 TB taco seasoning, 

1 teaspoon seasoned 

pepper, 1tsp. 

curry, sweet basil, 

oregano, 

Directions: Mix all 

together into a plastic 

baggie and shake chicken 

or pork to coat 

before baking. 

*** 

Through the years this column has 

periodically offered advice for saving 

money at the gas pump. With fuel prices 

at an all time high, there’s never been a 

better time to review the many ways a 

conscientious driver can offset the latest 

jump at the pump! 

Downgrade: Buy the lowest grade of 

octane that is appropriate for your vehicle. 

Why pay for more if you don’t need 

it? Check with your mechanic or car 

dealer to see if it’s safe for you to switch 

to a lower grade. You might save hundreds 

of dollars a year. 

*** 

Spring Ahead: Be sure to remove 

snow tires in good weather. The deep 

tread and big tires use more gasoline 

than regular tires. 

*** 

The Wheel Deal: Keeping tires properly 

inflated and aligned equals gas savings. 

Periodic wheel alignments and 

keeping tires inflated to the maximum 

recommended pressure really does 

improve your gas mileage, according to 

experts. 

*** 

Haste Makes Waste: Tests show quick 

starts and hard breaking reduces travel 

time by only 4 percent, but fuel consumption 

is increased by nearly 40 percent. 

*** 

Slow Down, You Move Too Fast: The 

faster you drive, the more gas you use. 

Did you know lowering your speed from 

65 to 55 mph can improve your fuel economy 

by two miles per gallon? 

Also, traveling at fast rates in low 

gears can consume up to 45 percent 

more fuel than is needed. 

*** 

Idle No More: Did you know 10 seconds 

of idling actually uses more fuel 

than restarting the engine? Save gas by 

making it a habit to turn off the car 

when parked. 

*** 

Rough Road Ahead: Opt for driving 

on smooth roads whenever possible. 

Rough roads with dirt or gravel rob you 

of up to 30 percent of your gas mileage! 

*** 

Penny Pinchers: Make sure your gas 

tank is nice and snug. If not, buy a new 

one. Why? Gas easily evaporates from 

the tank through loose caps. And don’t 

top off the gas tank. Gas may seep out 

from expansion.

LaFontaine said the style of 

Tai Chi he teaches is Tai Chi for 

Health. He said Australian Dr. 

Paul Lam created this form, and 

it places the focus on bringing 

health to the body and mind 

through movements. 

LaFontaine said the activity 

also can help in the relief of 

osteoporosis, arthritis, and can 

help participants learn better 

balance and fall prevention. 

LaFontaine also described the 

act of Tai Chi as “ancient, 

Chinese art that consists of slow, 

relaxed movements for the body 

and mind. The exercises can also 

be done sitting, and adjusted to 

the needs of the individual student.” 


Tai Chi is ‘martial 

arts in slow motion’

Dudley man found 

guilty in 2007 killings 

MULLER 


Johnston, 26. Johnston’s sister 

Joanne Mercier was also shot in 

the head during the ordeal. 

The Dudley Police responded 

to a call at the West Main St., 

apartment at approximately 12:45 

a.m. that day. Upon arrival they 

found the three victims of the 

apparent shooting. 

According to police, Mercier 

told police as she was recovering 

at University of Massachusetts 

Medical Center in Worcester that 

Muller was the one who had broken 

into the third floor of the 

apartment and shot the three 

occupants. 

Bash was pronounced dead 

upon the officers’ arrival, and 

Johnston died shortly after at 

3:10 a.m., according to Dudley

“[I like to see the] accomplishment,” 

said LaFontaine. “[I like 

to see them] learn and, to do 

good. I like to see them be happy, 

and feel good about Tai Chi. 

There is no performance anxiety, 

and it is very individualistic.” 

Lambert said she agreed with 

LaFontaine, and said she was 

pleased to see that there is no 

intimidation, or competition 

when you take one of 

LaFontaine’s classes. 

Lambert said this is something 

that has brought many students 

in to take classes. She said they 

can feel comfortable with their 

own abilities, and don’t have 

worry what others are thinking 

as they participate.

According to Dudley Police 

Chief Steven Wojnar, Latang 

later turned himself into 

Webster Police, and when Muller 

was originally taken into custody 

he did not put up a struggle. 

During the trial, which began 

in early March of 2010, Muller 

entered the defense that he was 

insane when the crime occurred. 

He also claimed he had been 

fighting a drug addition during 

that period in time, therefore he 

was not in control of himself. 

According to authorities, at the 

time of the murders Muller had 

an extensive history of psychiatric 

issues, as well as an ongoing 

problem with substance abuse.

Learning lessons from nature 

March is 

change. The snow 

finally here 

disappears and the 

and the RELIGION sun begins to warm 

expectancy 

the air and buds 

of warm weather is in 

my heart. 

Been a long winter KENT WHITECOTTON 

begin to form. This 

too is a part of that 

change. 

for those of us that 

The patience that it 

live here in New 

takes for the tree to 

England — having to shovel and 

plow almost on a weekly basis 

wears you out. But soon we will 

enjoy a beautiful spring and the 

trees will once again bear its 

fruit, the flowers will bloom and 

the grass will need to be cut. We 

prepare itself for change is also 

amazing. Fast change is difficult 

even for these trees so God 

allows the trees to do it a little at 

a time...even in the fall He does 

the same thing. Leaves start by 

just changing color and displaying 

all seem to love this time of year 

one last shot of amazing 

because it produces change and 

it’s a change that we are forced to 

comply with and that can be a 

good thing. 

Often God teaches us lessons 

from nature. If you were to look 

outside right now you would see 

all the trees surrounding you. If 

I were to ask you to pick out one 

that is dead you might have a 

hard time doing that because 

they all look dead and useless. 

There are no leaves or buds on 

the trees to indicate that they are 

living or any sign that they will 

ever bear leaves again...but you 

know they will. They all look 

dead and useless. But they are 

very much alive. They show us 

beauty; a sign that they will 

return soon after a time of rest. 

Then once the buds all blossom 

we all soon forget the winter and 

the toil that it took on us and we 

look of the trees. We enjoy their 

shade and the beauty they give to 

our landscapes. They once again 

become useful, fresh and enjoying. 

People are so much like this. 

They too go through changes 

during the course of their lives. 

Change becomes necessary to 

help adapt to these changes. 

Sicknesses, disabilities, age...all 

play a part in understanding the 

need to change. But this change 

is not only to be understood by 

the importance of change; the person going through it; it 

change that comes as a result of 

changing seasons and times that 

only God knows. They do this 

every year and God allows them 

to drop everything and just when 

there is no sign of life and the 

season of winter changes to the 

must be understood by those 

around it as well. You see, when 

the trees drop their leaves the 

ground needs those leaves to fertilize 

the trees. The wind also 

takes the leaves and sends them 

all over so that their seeds or 

season of spring, they too influence

In loving memory of

Hernandez

Understanding the importance 

of change can be difficult. It is 

one thing to have the power to 

make a change and yet it is 

another thing to be forced into 

change. For example what happens 

when you get older and you 

are no longer able to do the 

things you always use to do? 

Many people have pushed aside 

the elderly and the disabled 

because they fail to see what 

they can contribute. I was at 

Market Basket yesterday and the 

young man bagging my groceries 

was without a doubt disabled. 

I was so impressed with 

the store management because 

they allowed this young man’s 

mother to be there to help him. 

What a mom! What a store! I 

want to go today and thank the 

management for doing this for 

this young man. It is changing 

his life. This guy was trying so 

hard to have a normal life. I was 

so proud of him and the store, 

and his mom...they refused to let 

this young man become useless. 

I will purposely look for the isle 

that he is bagging in and that is 

where I will go. May God help 

more people to look past things 

and see opportunities in others! 

I also had another lesson 

taught to me from an 82-year-old 

woman in the morning service at 

Church on Sunday. She went to 

the front of the Church after the 

service and began putting away 

the communion trays. I spoke to 

her and said, “Sister, I’ll get that, 

don’t worry about it.” 


She turned to me with a saddened 

face and said, “Pastor 

Kent, Please let me do something...” 

I was pricked in my 

heart because all of a sudden I 

realized how important it was to 

her to not be forgotten and cast 

aside. I watched as she stood 

there with young Jacob, who is 

autistic, and together this young 

child and this elderly woman put 

the communion trays away. 

Never again will I allow myself 

to lose sight of the need to let 

people feel needed and wanted. 

Nothing worse than to feel useless 

or forgotten. It is the main 

reason why the elderly fear nursing 

homes and hospitals. They 

feel they might be forgotten and 

left out, useless and alone. We 

should never let that happen. 

Change is hard and it is easy to 

look for the most capable to do 

the work. But those who go 

through change often hate it. 

The day that my Father-in-law 

was forced to leave his job due to 

illness was hard on him. He 

seemed lost because he was not 

use to the change he was being 

forced to go through. This happens 

a lot with people. But you 

have to allow God to show you 

how to change with the seasons 

of change and people have to 

help you to do it.

WEBSTER — A benefit dance held to raise 

funds for Canines for Combat Veterans will be 

held at the American Legion Post #184 on 

School Street. 

The need for dogs is so great and very little 

funding is made available to purchase and 

train the dogs. Co-Chairmen for this event are 

Sons Commander Karl Kuhn Sr. and Sr. Vice 

Commander of the Post Jim Frissell, U.S.M.C. 

Ret. 

The evening will kick off with dancing from 

8 p.m. to midnight with Rewind. This band is 

direct from the Wolf Den at the Mohegan Sun 

and is rated as one of the top dance bands 

playing all the hits from the ‘60s through the 

‘80s. Doors open at 7 p.m., so get there early. 

All proceeds go directly toward the $10,000 

needed for a dog and we are soliciting donations 

for the evening’s raffle from local merchants 

as well as corporate donations. 

With the support of the community we will 

be able to provide a dog at no cost to a qualified 

veteran as well as free travel to the training 

campus in Princeton, along with free accommodations 

for their two-week training session. 

“The dog assists the handler with his or her 

transition to prosthetics, helps with wheelchair 

bound vets, they retrieve and carry 

objects, press buttons and open doors, turn off 

and on lights, assist the hard of hearing, provide 

balance when walking, as well as companionship.” 

stated Kuhn. 

If any group, business, or individual would 

like to make a donation toward the snacks, raf-

Aut motive 

Hyundai Marks its 25th Anniversary 

Selling Cars in the United States 

BY KEITH GRIFFIN 

An interesting article in 

the N.Y. Times about 

Hyundai's effect on Alabama 

since it opened a manufacturing 

plant there throws out 

this little tidbit almost as an 

aside: today marks 25 years 

of Hyundai selling cars in 

the United States. 

It's an anniversary worth 

noting because Hyundai has 

come a long way in this country 

in the last quarter century. 

• Since its introduction, 

Americans have put 6,608,208 

Hyundai vehicles in their 

driveways, with more than 

4,350,000 still on the road 

today. 

• U.S. production capacity 

has grown to over 400,000 

units of Sonata, Elantra and 

Santa Fe models produced in 

modern assembly plants in 

Alabama and Georgia. 

• Direct U.S. employment 

totals more than 4,000, 

with total employment 

including suppliers and dealers 

of over 45,000. 

• Hyundai's commitment 

to the U.S. market 

includes engineering, 

design, testing, production, 

sales, and marketing. In all, 

Hyundai's investments in 

the U.S. total $1.7 billion. 

Its first 20 years in this 

country, frankly, were less 

than auspicious. But in 2010, 

for the first time, Hyundai 

sold more than 500,000 vehicles 

in the United States. 

That doesn't mean 

Hyundai didn't get off to a huge 

start when it sold its first car in 

the United States on Feb. 20, 1986. 

At the time Hyundai sold one 

car: the Hyundai Excel. Sales 

were amazingly strong the first 

year and Hyundai set a record 

with total sales of more than 

168,000. 

But then something happened – 

American consumers caught 

onto the fact that the cars were 

not only cheap in price but they 

were lacking in quality. Cheap as 

a negative connotation firmly 

attached itself to Hyundai until 

at least 2006, when its vehicles 

started to turn around and 

became a vehicle that people considered 

to buy instead of having 

to settle because they could 

afford nothing else. 

That was demonstrated by its 

recognition by Kelley Blue Book 

in August of 2010. Its Brand 

Watch reported then that for the 

first time ever, Hyundai made the 

list of top five most-considered 

brands. In the second quarter of 

2010 Hyundai brand consideration 

surged nearly six percentage 

points in the non-luxury 

coupe/sedan/hatchback segment. 

Hyundai now garners 29 

percent of the total consideration 

among shoppers of this segment, 

beating out top competitors 

like Nissan. 

Hyundai helped that turnaround 

by offering the now 

famous 10-year, 100,000 mile warranty 

in 1999. At first, people 

thought it was a desperate move 

on the company's part but savvy 

consumers soon realized it wasn't. 

No company can afford to 

offer a strong warranty like that 

if its products are going to fail. 

Bodacious claims like a 100,000- 

mile warranty can only be made 

with confidence. Otherwise, warranty 

costs would bankrupt a 

manufacturer. 

No article on Hyundai would be 

complete without a quotation 

from John Krafcik, its American 

president and CEO: "As far as 

we've come since 1986, we still 

feel we're in the early stages of 

connecting the Hyundai brand to 

the U.S. consumer. We've always 

challenged convention – from 

our powertrain strategies, to our 

consumer partnership programs, 

to our unique Genesis 

and Equus retail approach. It's 

authentically Hyundai to question 

the status quo and pursue 

our own vision of how things 

should be in order to best serve 

our customers. This willingness 

to challenge convention will continue 

to guide us these next 25 

years." 

J.D. Power and Associates 

announced in June 2010 that the 

Hyundai Accent topped the subcompact 

segment in its 2010 

Initial Quality Study (IQS).

Hyundai has come a long way with its vehicles from even just six years ago when it produced the rather 

mundane 2005 Hyundai Accent (white car) to the sporty looking Hyundai Veloster that comes out this year. 

the fewest problems per 100 vehicles 

in its segment. Elantra also 

finished in the top three in the 

compact car segment. 

The Elantra is Hyundai's 

newest model on the road as the 

company celebrates its 25th 

anniversary. The fifth-generation 

model figures to do well in the 

compact market because it 

achieves 40-mpg on the highway 

in all trim levels. 

Another smart move Hyundai 

made was upgrading its dealership 

experience. That investment 

paid off and now people no 

longer feel like they have to wash 

their hands after visiting a 

Hyundai dealership. Hyundai 

significantly improved its position 

in the rankings of the 2010 

J.D. Power and Associates U.S. 

Sales Satisfaction Index 

StudySM (SSI), ranking No. 7 

overall. 

Hyundai also had the greatest 

improvement of all mass market 

brands from 2009, moving from 

No. 16 to seven in 2010. The SSI 

study is a comprehensive analysis 

of the new-vehicle purchase 

experience. Overall customer 

satisfaction is measured across 

four factors: working out the 

deal, salesperson, delivery 

process, and dealership facility. 

This year’s study concluded that 

the manner in which customers 

are treated by the dealership is 

more important to overall newvehicle 

buyer satisfaction than 

the actual transaction price. 

In the near-term, Hyundai 

has some exciting products 

coming including the 

Veloster, a Tiburon-like compact 

in terms of looks if not 

necessarily performance; 

the 2012 Genesis Spec R, the 

most powerful Hyundai ever, 

with a new 5.0-liter direct 

injection V8 engine that produces 

429 horsepower. The 

new Hyundai flagship, the 

Equus, which gets 385 horsepower 

from its Tau V8 

engine. 

Also coming from Hyundai 

are electric vehicles and 

more hybrids (featuring the 

world-first use of a lithium 

polymer battery). The 

Sonata Hybrid can be driven 

in zero emissions, fully electric 

drive mode at speeds up 

to 62 miles per hour or in 

blended gas-electric mode at 

any speed. When the car 

comes to a stop and the electrical 

load is low, the engine 

is shut down to completely 

eliminate idle fuel consumption 

and emissions. 

One should not be surprised 

that Hyundai is finally 

doing well in the United 

States. After all, it is one of 

the top automotive manufacturing 

companies in the 

world. Hyundai Motor 

Company is the 188th leading 

company in the world, 

and third among automakers, 

according to an annual 

list of the top 2000 leading 

global companies published 

by Forbesmagazine. 

Hyundai has gained ground 

in the past two rankings, rising 

from 245 in 2008 and 196 in 2009. 

Ford Motor Company (58) and 

Honda Motor (86) are the only 

automakers ahead of Hyundai in 

the 2010 rankings.
