SOUTHBRIDGE — The Southbridge Town Council approved the spending plan for the 2018 Fiscal Year, start-ing July 1, during a meeting on Monday, May 22, but not without debate after comments from Town Manager Ron San Angelo led one councilor to

accuse him of “politicking”.For all intents and purposes,

the approval of the $51 mil-lion spending plan went rather smoothly with the town coun-cil voting ‘yes’ to a plan that allocates $13 million for the general government, $1.1 mil-lion for Bay Path, and $26.7 mil-lion for the Southbridge public schools.

However, after the vote of approval Town Manager Ron San Angelo commended the council for working hard the past two years to wean the town off of its dependence of free cash and the money from Casella Waste Systems.

“I want to thank the town council for support of this bud-get. The department heads did,

in fact, do a great job. In two years, this town has moved off of dependency on the Casella money by $1,770,000. First the $850,000 in free cash from last year’s budget, which allowed us now to use free cash to buy capital items instead of Casella money. This year’s money reduces our dependency on the Casella money of $920,000,” San

Angelo said. “I think it’s abso-lutely remarkable the town council in such a quick period of time has gotten us off of that money.”

San Angelo continued, stat-ing that the $1.7 million is the ‘most important money’ the town utilizes because that

Music and muskets on Sturbridge Common June 24

STURBRIDGE — On Saturday, June 24, the Sturbridge Colonial Militia will re-enact the muster of local patriot forces on the town Common in response to the news of the British expedition to Lexington and Concord in April, 1775. The program of drill, musket firing, and his-torical commentary begins at 6:30 p.m. Visitors are most welcome to visit the

Revolutionary-era encamp-ment on the Common from 4 p.m., followed by a concert of period music at 6 p.m. by the Yalesville (CT) Senior Fife and Drum Corps. These events are presented with the gener-ous support of the Sturbridge Tourist Association.

According to veteran re-en-actor Douglas Quigley, who portrays Captain Timothy Parker, this is the 21st consecu-

tive year the “new” Sturbridge Colonial Militia has commem-orated its ancestor’s gath-ering on the Common. The historical background for the event is based on the continu-ing research of Sturbridge historian Brian Burns. See Sturbridge Colonial Militia on Facebook for updates and fur-ther details.

BROOKFIELD — What do we really know about climate change, and what can be done to stop it? Join Brookfield Indivisible, a new, regional grassroots action group, for a workshop titled “Our Climate, Our Kids: What will the future look like?” at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 25 at the Brookfield Congregational Church, 8 Common St. Dr. Gene Fry, Brookfield’s own science guy, and state Sen. Anne Gobi (D-Spencer) are fea-tured speakers. The event is free and open to the pub-lic, and refreshments will be served.

Sure, the climate has

always been changing, but it’s now changing at the fast-est rate in the entire geolog-ic record.

“That’s on us,” Fry says. “We are fast approaching the 2C target, which is the internationally set limit for dangerous climate change. Processes we have already set in motion will shoot us well past that target, to aver-age temperatures where Kansas gets as hot as Las Vegas.”

In his illustrated talk, Fry will review the history of cli-mate change, explain what it all means for our future

Every market and home is different so I do suggest you check with a local Realtor to ensure the improvements you want to make will be the best for your home. This way you can ensure the best resale value when selling. Some of the best bang for your buck reno-vation are listed below:

In most markets buyers are not excit-ed about wallpaper and I find they typi-cally plan removing it as an immediate need when buying a home. It can be labor intensive but worth the time. I highly recommend doing this prior to putting your home up for sale.

You may love your bold room col-ors but it won’t appeal to every buyer. Especially if you have a smaller room with a dark color that makes it feel even

smaller. I recom-mend paint the walls with neutral colors and even though the ceiling is white, most likely a fresh coat of white paint will make it a lot brighter and cleaner looking.

With so many peo-ple with allergies,

if you have carpets over hardwoods I would recommend removing the carpet and refinishing the hardwoods which will also brighten up the room

Clean your home every week or so while it is on the market and if you don’t have time have a cleaning service come in. Those cobwebs can show yup quick even if the home is vacant.

Make sure there is adequate lighting. I love saving energy but when your

Twenty five years later, armed with only a handful of memories, his unwavering determi-nation, and a revolution-ary technology known as Google Earth, he sets out to find his lost family and finally return to his first home. Based on the book “A Long Way Home,” written by Saroo Brierley. Rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture

Association of America for thematic material and some sensuality. Suggested dona-tion for movie is $2. Popcorn, snacks and beverages free! The Senior Center is locat-ed in the 1st Congregational Church, 20 Main St., Brimfield. 413-245-7253

STUDENT ACHIVEMENT

HARRISONBURG, VA — Sturbridge resident Kerry Barbara Joyce has been named to the dean’s list at James Madison University for the spring 2017 semester. Students who earn dean’s list honors must carry at least 12 graded credit hours and earn a GPA of between 3.5

and 3.899. Joyce is scheduled to graduate in 2017 and is majoring in accounting.

SPRINGFIELD — Thaddeus France, of Brimfield received the Student Association Award of Excellence at the 2017 Co-curricular Awards Ceremony at Western New England University held in Rivers Memorial Hall on the University campus. The Student Association Award of Excellence is given to a student who made outstand-ing and consistent contri-butions to co-curricular life campus-wide throughout the academic year. Patrick M. O’Brien presented the award.

home is on the market you want the highest rated bulbs for each light fixture. If it is in your budget I would also suggest adding overhead lights in any room that does not have it.

Bathrooms are one of the most important rooms for buyers. If the bathroom is really bad you may want to just gut the entire thing. However, many time a new shower surround, a new vanity with a hard surface countertop, new lighting, and some paint can go a long way. This is a great item to get the opinion of your realtor if you can get away with just a few small changes.

Kitchen improvements are important to most buyers. New appliances, and a new hard surface countertop and maybe some new lighting can go a long way. A backsplash is some-thing that can also make the kitchen pop. If those items are new and the cabinets are maybe just a little faded but in good shape you could possibly get away with painting them.

Buyers typically cannot see past the old carpet, the dark rooms and the ugly shower. Even if you tell them you will upgrade with an offer or offer some sort of credit for repairs, they cannot envision those changes and will offer you a lower price. They will assume cost is much higher and will also probably try to negotiate more since they have to take on the upgrades. The last part of this is that if the home shows great for the buyers, then you will have competition driving the price up as opposed to getting nego-tiated down. When considering selling your home have the Realtor give you recommendations on the minimum repairs to do to ensure people can finance the home and then what items they recommend to get the most for your home. Then you can decide based on the 2 values what will be best route for you to go.

WEST BROOKFIELD – For residents seeking a glimpse into the region’s past, the Quaboag Historical Society invites you to climb aboard and enjoy a fasci-nating ride through history.

The QHS is offering a June 10 bus tour of the Quaboag Plantation towns. At 12:15 p.m. the bus will leave the Quaboag Historical Museum, which is located at the end of Central Street in town. The tour will include visits to several historic sites in the six towns that com-prise the Quaboag Plantation: Brookfield, East Brookfield, North Brookfield, West Brookfield, New Braintree and Warren.

The tour will enlighten and entertain guests with insights on the significance of each location to the region’s collec-tive history. The sites include Foster Hill (one of the area’s first settlements), the Brookfield Cemetery, Devil’s Elbow Road, Bathsheba Spooner’s site, the North Brookfield Historical

Museum, the New Braintree Historical Museum, and the Congregational Church Cemetery. As guests will soon discover, among other intrigu-ing facts, Bathsheba Spooner was the first woman to be exe-cuted in the U.S. following the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The tour will also include a look at the site of the 1675 ambush on McKay and Slein Roads, a drive down historic Wickaboag Valley Road, visits to the Warren Public Library and Warren Historical Museum, and a drive along East Road in Warren, the site of the oldest dairy farm in the state.

QHS co-presidents Ed Londergan and Amy Dugas are hoping the tour will generate additional interest in the society and inspire residents to learn more about the area’s rich his-tory.

“We have been preserving and making local history resources available for 122 years,” Dugas said. “Our mission is to main-tain interest and participation in the society. We always wel-

come new members and visi-tors.”

The bus tour is perfect for res-idents who recently moved to the area and are curious about local history, officials said. It is also a great opportunity for longtime residents to look back and see what happened in their communities decades and cen-turies ago.

“We are hoping this bus trip will interest new residents, who often know that they are surrounded by a remarkable history but never have found the time to explore what those places and names were inspired by,” Londergan said. “What a great day this promises to be. We encourage everyone to come early to see the museum and enjoy some light refreshments before departing on the tour.”

The bus will return to the museum around 4 p.m.

The tour is free and open to the public. To reserve a seat, contact Londergan at [email protected] or by phone at 413-436-7901.

On Tuesday, June 27 at noon, Dennis McCurdy of McCurdy Group shares his years of expe-rience and answers your ques-tions about business and per-sonal insurance. Insurance is an important part of our daily lives. We drive cars, trucks, and motorcycles; own homes or rent space. And then there are our toys — boats, RVs, camp-ers, jet-skis, and so on. Every one of these has inherent risk. Handling that risk properly is the difference between finan-cial stability and bankrupt-cy. Points Dennis will cover include: What to insure and not to insure, Policy differenc-es, Common myths, Huge gaps, and Dangerous assumptions. Dennis McCurdy, CIC, CFP® has been providing insurance to small to mid-sized business-es, and families since 1975. In addition to his wealth of prod-uct knowledge, Dennis’ vast experience as a business owner makes him a valuable resource for his clients. Whether it is Worker’s Compensation,

Malpractice, Business Auto, Property Coverage, or Risk Management, Dennis under-stands the fine points of these insurance plans and will work with you to protect your busi-ness. Dennis is a member of the Independent Agents of America, The Society of Certified Insurance Counselors, Society of Certified Financial Planners, Financial Planning Association and Toastmasters. He is a Vietnam Veteran serv-ing with the 12th SPS Phu Cat AB Republic of South Vietnam 1970-1971. Visit online at www.McCurdyInsurance.com.

The eighth annual Massachusetts Walking Tour, founded by songwriting duo Mark Mandeville and Raianne Richards, will be coming this year to the Blackstone Valley — performing 11 free commu-nity concerts while traversing

the state on foot. Since 2010, Mandeville and Richards have organized now over 100 cof-feehouse style concerts which showcase local musicians and artists across the state — creat-ing a quality evening program for all ages and an opportunity

for talent young and old to be enjoyed by a listening audi-ence. Venues chosen for these community concerts include public libraries, town parks, and historical properties — and this year all events have been funded through local cultural council grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council program.

The Memorial Beach concert will feature local performers The Grey Whisker Pickers and high school students Haley Trudeau and Abbi and Rachael with the Massachusetts Walking Troupe to follow. This event is sponsored by the Webster Cultural Council. The audience is encouraged to bring chairs.

Carrying approximately 40-50 pounds of gear and instru-ments, the Massachusetts Walking Troupe, including vet-eran members Mark Kilianski (guitar, banjo) and Amy Alvey (fiddle), will be hiking from concert to concert using the

Blackstone Valley’s many recreational trails: Southern New England Trunkline Trail (SNETT), Charles River Bikeway, and trails with-in DCR’s Riverbend Farm to name a few.

In addition to evening con-certs, the troupe will also be organizing a series of short group hikes wherein the com-munity will be invited to meet up with the Massachusetts Walking Tour as they travel between towns. These public hikes will highlight some of the Blackstone Valley’s recreation-al hiking trails, routes which appear in local author Marjorie Turner Hollman’s book Easy Walks In Massachusetts. All daily routes and “Easy Walks” are available to view and down-load at www.masswalkingtour.org.

The eighth annual Massachusetts Walking Tour will take place between June 15 and June 24, start-ing in Webster and ending in

Blackstone. All concerts will be from 6-8 p.m. and here is a complete listing of events:

June 15: Memorial Beach at Webster.

June 16: EN Jenckes General Store at Douglas

June 17: River Bend Farm at Uxbridge

June 18: Kiwanis Beach at Upton

June 19: Hopedale Unitarian Parish at Hopedale

June 20: Milford Senior Center at Milford

June 21: Medway Public Library at Medway

Place Motor Inc’s continued involvement with children’s welfare through our support

of Friday’s Child

Seth is an active twelve-year old boy of Caucasian descent. Seth loves technology, Legos and sports. He par-ticularly likes sports that involve being on a team like football, baseball and basketball. Seth is described as a so-cial child who likes to strike up a con-versation. He loves to listen to music and watch his New England sports teams! Seth is very creative and can think up stories. He also has a great recall ability of what he has read or stories he has been told. Seth has

been diagnosed as having low-spectrum Autism and he also has some developmental delays. He receives additional support in school through an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP). He has made major improve-ments and gains through the services he has received.

Legally freed for adoption, Seth will need a family that is able to main-tain contact with his three older siblings . Seth has a strong bond with his brothers and it is important that this connection and visits remain in place. Seth’s social worker is seeking a family with either no children or older children in the home. Seth does best when things are flexible versus strict. A family that is energetic and attentive would be the best match for Seth!

Who Can Adopt? Can you provide the guidance, love and stability that a child needs? If

you’re at least 18 years old, have a stable source of income, and room in your heart, you may be a perfect match to adopt a waiting child. Adoptive parents can be single, married, or partnered; experienced or not; renters or homeowners; LGBTQ singles and couples.

The process to adopt a child from foster care requires training, inter-views, and home visits to determine if adoption is right for you, and if so, to help connect you with a child or sibling group that your family will be a good match for.

To learn more about adoption from foster care, call the Massachusetts Adoption Resource Exchange (MARE) at 617-54-ADOPT (617-542-3678) or visit www.mareinc.org. The sooner you call, the sooner a wait-ing child will have “a permanent place to call HOME.”

WHATSIT?Keith Kent photo

This unique log was spotted perched on a large boulder in the middle of the Millers River just downstream of the Main Street Bridge in South Royalston.

Placed during the recent spring floods waters released by the Birch Hill Dam, walkers passing through have been puzzled by the shape. It might be an animal? A giant insect?

Whatever, it does attract a lot of attention. Our own Nessie washed ashore.

OPINIONViews and commentary from sturbridge, brimfield, Holland and wales

Keep calm and learn on

As the myriad of students from a milieu of schools walk the final walk across a stage, a field or a gym floor to take in hand the signifying paper end-ing a stage of their life takes place there is equally a number of earnest speakers cajoling those students in the real ways of the real world.

They aren’t listening.And neither did you.We know this. But we still do it. We hope some bit of wisdom will

trickle through. Some wise words will prop up a young person in the future, give them hope, give them wings. And also ground them in reality, give them strength, give them courage.

But we know, as we the adults listen to the drone of the earnest at the front of the room, the field, the gym, that the students themselves are listening to their inner voices, their friends and their nerves. They are already plan-ning their own next moves, the party to follow, the first days of the rest of their lives.

And, besides, what can these people around them possibly know? What can they say these younger people can take to heart anyway?

We don’t give up. We keep extolling them. We keep at it year after year. We work over speeches, look up quotes, look at history, think of our own lives to find nuggets of wisdom.

What is needed is a quicker cere-mony usually. The adults need to get over themselves a bit. And realize the earnest words are falling on very, very deaf ears.

Say “congratulations, you made it.”Say “good luck.”Say “now keep learning, you aren’t

really done.”And let them go.Because that’s truly it. They may

not even hear that last one. They know they are still learning, because they are still young; still have to go to college if in high school, or to another trade and apprentice or in other circumstances at least there are still learning curves. At every level. College, master’s degrees, even PhDs know they don’t know it all.

So let them keep learning, and let them go.

It’s the best advice they can get, the day anyone stops learning is the day they stop living.

Keep calm and learn on.

To the Editor:I want to offer my heartfelt thanks

to Dave and Donna Peters, and their non-profit DMPOUTDOORS.COM, for bringing wildlife rehabilitator Tom Ricardi to the Charlton Library May 20th.

I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to see owls, hawks, and even an enor-mous golden eagle, and to learn about their habits, diets, and even their indi-

vidual histories. Kudos to the Peters’ family for their efforts to get families out into the woods together to learn about and love nature, and to Tom Ricardi for his extraordinary efforts in saving injured raptors and returning them to the wild whenever possible.

Summer is around the corner, and from plant-ing hints to quick fixes, readers are sharing their favorite tips and tricks to reduce the little hassles in everyday life!

Remember readers, share your best solu-tions and you could win Dinner for Two at the Publick House!

**A Penny Saved… My friend Nance sent me this hint

from her home in New Jersey. (She’s moving back to this area in the sum-mer). When away from home and you return to find the clocks blinking...you know the power’s been out, but not for how long? While smelling the milk in the fridge will quickly enlighten you to its quality, the food in the freezer is a mystery as it might have thawed and then refrozen when the power was restored. Put a cup of water in the freez-er and freeze it. Then put a quarter on top of the ice and place it back in the freezer. When you return home and lights are flashing, check it out. If the coin is still on top, your food is safe. Halfway down...questionable and at the bottom of the cup...Chuck it! Then call your homeowners insurance for replacement cash.

Barbara A. HitchcockFiskdale**A regular contributor shares two

more of her money saving tips!

1. Shared kitchenettes at work etc. make for invasions of one’s food or containers. Ample supplies of address labels often come from charities or can be printed and personalized on one’s computer. These are great placed on storage containers, leftovers, boxes of cereal etc. and a Sharpie allows one to easily enter a date stored. I have found less invasion by others of food or tossed items I had plans for.

2. OK, don’t you love it when the little chain fails on the toilet tank when you need to get ready for work? not real-ly! Today a paperclip and produce wire were easy to thread through the holes in a pinch until the hardware store is open and I have time.

Also I decided the wire wears out in water quickly sometimes, in a pinch in the future I plan to try fishing line, easy to thread and made to be in water!

Viola BramelNorthbridge**Talk about salt of the earth!

Before adding your tomato plants to the holes add a tablespoon of Epsom salt to the hole then a thin layer of dirt over the salt. This helps the plants to grow and makes the tomato itself taste better. You have to add the thin layer of dirt before you plant the tomato if you don’t do that and just add the plant on top of the salt the roots will die.

Jessie DautrichSutton**This reader’s repurposing tip halts

heel pain:

I wish I had this hint about a month ago when I had new shoes to break in: New shoes are wonderful to have but hard to break in and sometime will rub against your skin and cause painful blisters. To help with this...cut a circu-lar makeup sponge in half and insert between your heel and back of the shoe. The sponge’s foamy material will improve the shoe’s fit and cushion your skin putting an end to the blister pain.

Mamie C.Sturbridge

**Reader Feedback:While reading your

“Take the Hint” sec-tion in the Spencer New Leader of May 5, 2017 edition the first tip from Terry Kolesnik of Charlton caused me to be concerned.

Terry suggests using a product (Tide Pod) designed and man-ufactured for cleaning clothes to be used on the modern automobile fin-ish. Terry also suggests that this is cheap. The modern automobile finish is designed as what can essentially be called “Base Coat/Clear Coat”. During manufacturing, first, a primer coat is applied, then the base paint coat con-taining the color pigment and a final protective layer known as a clear coat is applied. Clear coats traditionally pro-vide an extra shell layer of protection from things like: road salt, acidic bird droppings, tree sap, Ultraviolet rays, oxidation, acidic rain, etc.

Clear coat paint jobs need regular waxing and upkeep. A single thin layer of wax every couple of months is gener-ally recommended. And this is where the Tide Pod suggestion concerns me. Modern day car wash products that you can get at any Walmart, Target, auto-motive store are specifically designed to work to gently clean the clear coat with a lot of slippery ingredients so dirt does not “drag” off, but washes off the car without scratching the clear coat. For the most part, following the instructions on most car wash prod-ucts, you only use a few capfuls to a few gallons of water. It is not very expen-sive in the least.

The use of Tide or other dish-washer detergents, especially Dawn, break down and remove automotive wax and then weakens the clear coat. Less protection and possible scratches on your car is not a proper “Hint”. Especially on darker color cars, it would look terrible. If you don’t want water spots on your car during the washing process, one can purchase a small water conditioner that removes some of the hard water that most hous-es have. This is what causes water spots. Any good automotive collision shop or detail shop can give you further clarification on this. Just my 2¢ of an opinion.

I t ’ s G r a d u a t i o n Season again. If your child is graduating from high school or col-lege, you have

reason to celebrate. But what should you give to your newly minted diploma holder? You might want to consider offering a combination of financial gifts and tips, which, taken together, could set your graduate on a path toward a successful, independent life.

What sort of gifts and tips should you consider? Here are a few ideas:

Give a few shares of stock. Everyone should understand the financial mar-kets and how they work. One great way to encourage this interest is to give your child a few shares of stock. Young people enjoy owning a piece of a company that makes the products and services they like – and the very act of ownership can inspire them to learn more about investing and to ask ques-tions: What causes the stock price to go up or down? How long should I hold this stock? Should I own several stocks like this one, or is it better to branch out to find new opportunities? Over time, in learning the answers to these and other questions, your child can become famil-iar with investing and how to make the best choices.

Encourage your graduate to open an IRA. Your child can open an IRA as long as he or she has some earned income. You might want to suggest that your child consider a Roth IRA, which, at the child’s age and income level, may be a good choice. With a Roth IRA, children can access their contributions at any time, tax- and penalty-free. They can’t touch the earnings without incurring both taxes and penalties, however, until they reach 59½. But you will want to encourage them to keep the money in their IRA intact, giving it the chance to grow.

Provide some financial educa-tion. Unfortunately, most young people don’t really receive any kind of formal financial education. Of course, you can try to provide some of this knowledge to your own children, but, as you know, advice from Mom and Dad sometimes gets ignored. However, you might get better results if you arrange for your recent graduate to meet with a finan-cial professional. As mentioned above, owning stocks, and following their prog-ress, can teach your children a great deal about investing, but a financial professional can paint the “big picture” and explain how all aspects of money management – such as borrowing, bud-geting, saving and investing –fit togeth-er to help individuals stay in control of their finances and make progress toward their important financial goals, such as buying a house and retiring in comfort. Recent graduates, whether leaving high school or college, are at “turning points” in their lives and can benefit greatly from understanding the importance of developing good, lifelong financial habits.

Most of us can think of several mon-ey-related mistakes we’ve made over the course of many years. And your children will make some errors, too. But by providing them with some appropri-ate financial gifts and valuable advice upon their graduation, they may well be better prepared to keep those mistakes to a minimum – while maximizing their ability to make good decisions.

money was actually in the operating budget. He said it helps fund the police depart-ment, fire department, and other departmental expendi-tures and that he is glad to see the town moving away from a dependence of the funds, add-ing that he feels this will help voters in their decision when it comes to an election item on the upcoming ballot where Casella is seeking support of the community to discuss the expansion of their landfill on Barefoot Road.

“Had we lost that money two years ago we would be talking about significant layoffs and a real crisis situation. The remaining two-plus million dollars of Casella money, while it still comes to the town and is important and we’re somewhat dependent on it, that depen-dence isn’t a need for today. If we lose that money it’s going to be over time. We’re not going to lose it right away. It’s not going to impact our departments. It’s going to impact the town, but it’s an impact we can deal with over a longer period of time,” San Angelo said.

The Casella landfill is pro-jected to reach capacity within the next year, prompting them to add an item to the ballot in June seeking public support for negotiations to commence. The item, if approved, would signi-fy public support for the town council negotiating, executing, and ratifying an agreement for such an expansion. Casella Waste Systems has been the target of controversy over the past few years due to perceived contaminant leakages from the property. Supporters of the company have engaged in a campaign to earn support for the question on June 13 while those opposing it have pushed

a counter campaign calling the landfill a “super landfill”.

One town council member, Monique Manna, felt that the town manager’s state-ment could be perceived as an attempt to push a political agenda for or against the ques-tion next month.

“That royalty money, we have a lot of retirement funding that we have to do. We’re not talking small chump change. We’re talking a lot of money. You’re telling me our financial crisis is over? I respectively disagree with you,” Manna said to San Angelo directly, later accusing him of playing politics with the issue. “We do have departments that still have needs. We have a com-munity that has been, it seems, ignored over a very long peri-od of time with our buildings and whatnot. We have a police department that’s way under-staffed and that was proven by the audit that was done a few years ago. We should be up to forty police officers and we only have 36. We have a fire department that’s falling apart - There’s a lot in this communi-ty and I’m a little disheartened to see (the Town Manager) up here politicking.”

San Angelo defended his statements, clarifying that his remarks were meant to explain that while the town would still have some issues to resolve the setbacks from potentially los-ing business with Casella for any reason, and thus losing the funding from the company, would not be as extreme as some may believe.

“The town is currently, like most other towns, in a twen-ty year payback of unfunded retirement liability from pre-vious years so what it means is if we lost that Casella money it would take us longer to pay back that unfunded liability so instead of it maybe being cut

to 17 years we’d have to do it in 20 years,” San Angelo said. “That’s an impact on the town that’s painful, but it’s not an immediate crisis where if we lost the money all of a sudden people wouldn’t have to get laid off and department wouldn’t run.”

San Angelo said currently the town received $4 million in landfill royalties and, if the town were to lose that, there would be an impact. However, he noted that the town does have a long way to go, but los-ing the $4 million wouldn’t create a major “crisis” by depleting what the community already has in place.

“What I was trying to describe when I’m defining ‘crisis’ is we don’t have to lay-off employees. Departments can still run – We’re not going to have to lay people off. We’re not going to have to be in that kind of a mode. We can oper-ate,” San Angelo said.

The statements received mixed reactions from the rest of the town council, with coun-cilwoman Kristen Auclair coming to the town manager’s defense noting that it has been a goal of San Angelo’s from day one to wean the town off of free cash and the Casella money in the budget, which she believed should have never been part of the annual operating budget in the first place.

“As far as a crisis now ver-sus not having all of the ser-vices that maybe we want, there’s a difference there. We have a feasibility study that we’re going to be doing on the fire department. We have a lot of things that we’re work-ing towards and a lot of cap-ital improvement that we’re doing,” Auclair said. “A lot of people in our town think that once the Casella money is gone that the entire fire department is going to be gone. We have

people in these departments that think they’re going to lose their job. These are the things that I’m hearing out in the public. Those are crisis items. Those things aren’t going to happen now. We might take a little bit longer to pay off some unfunded liability and tighten belt buckles for a little while to get through a couple more hurdles, but at no point are the citizens of our town going to see a huge decrease in services and that is the big concern out there.”

Councilor Wallace MacKenzie also came to the town manager’s defense saying that the manager was pointing out that the town is moving away from its dependence on money is shouldn’t be depend-ing on to balance the budget.

“I think that the biggest thing we’re looking at here is we’re attempting to free our-selves up of using free cash to sustain all of our budgetary problems and I think that we’re in a very good position to do that. We are probably going to see a tax increase, that’s going to happen, but we still prob-ably, especially around this whole central Massachusetts area, have the cheapest taxes anywhere and that’s because we didn’t raise taxes. We relied on free cash. Our town manag-er has put into play a program to free us up so that we’re not dependent on free cash. Yes, we do have problems, it’s quite obvious, but we’re looking to go in the right direction to free ourselves up. It’s going to take time, it’s going to take good management, it’s going to take great staff, and it’s going to take great councilors. I think we’re in the right direction and I think that’s what the Town Manager meant.”

Town Council member Denise Clemence expressed her concern with the town man-

ager’s statements and sought details on how much the town would need to increases taxes should the Casella money be abandoned altogether, espe-cially considering projected increases for education in 2018 alone.

“We need to add three dis-patchers and three shifts, that’s going to increase the budget. But, we’re also told that we have an educational impact of $800,000 next year and that could go up to over a million dollars so that’s an instant mil-lion dollars right there,” she said. The inquiries resulted in the revelation that the town may need to recover up to pos-sibly $3 million next year as a result of these increases, which would fall on the taxpayers without any dependable rev-enue source to cover the cost.

Town Council Chairman Esteban Carrasco Jr. did not express an opinion on the town manager’s comments, but rath-er noted that the town council worked hard through many disagreements to get a budget passed for 2018. Next year will not be any easier regardless of the results of the upcoming election.

“This is the fourth budget that I vote on and this was a difficult budget to vote on. There are a lot of areas where a lot of members of this council disagreed. This is government, you agree and disagree and sometimes we have to make decisions that some of us don’t, deep down inside, think are the right things to do. At the end of the day, time will tell,” Carrasco said. “We have full time public safety, we have full time highway, and do we need more? Absolutely. Is our job done for some of these coun-cilors? No. There’s an election coming up. Those that come on, roll up your sleeves because we have a lot of work to do.”

Enjoy herbs all year round. Harvest herbs now for garden-fresh meals and preserve a few for the winter ahead.

Snip a few leaves or leaf-covered stems as needed. For the same intensity of flavor, you generally need two to three times more fresh herbs than dried except for rosemary which has an equally strong flavor fresh or dried. Continue harvesting herbs as need-ed throughout the grow-ing season. And don’t worry about harming the plant because regu-lar harvesting encour-ages new growth which means more for you to harvest. Just be sure to leave enough foliage to maintain plant growth.

You can remove as much as 50 percent of the foliage from annu-al herb plants. This is about when the plants near their final height. You can remove up to one third from established perennial plants that have been in the garden for several months or more. Harvest when the plant has formed buds, but before they open into flowers for the greatest concentration of flavor. This is the perfect time

to harvest herbs you plan to preserve.

Use a pair of gar-den scissors or pruners for faster and easier harvest-ing. Make your cuts above a set of healthy leaves to keep the plants looking good. Then

preserve the flavor and zest of herbs with proper storage and preservation.

Store thin leafy herbs like parsley and cilantro for up to a week in the refrigerator. Place in a jar of water, like a flower arrangement, and loose-ly cover with a plastic bag. Keep basil out of the fridge to avoid discolor-ation and others on the counter for quick and fre-quent use.

Wrap dry thick-er-leafed herbs like sage and thyme in a paper towel, set inside a plastic bag and place in a warm-er section of the refriger-ator.

Freeze sprigs, whole leaves or chopped clean herbs on a cookie sheet. Or pack clean diced herbs in ice cube trays and fill the empty spac-es with water. These are great for use in soups and stews. Store the frozen herbs and ice cubes in an airtight container or baggie in the freezer.

Or bundle several stems together, secure with a rubber band and use a spring type clothes-pin to hang them in a warm dry place to dry. Make your own drying rack from an old embroi-dery hoop, string and

S hooks. Visit Bonnie Plants do-it-yourself Herb Drying Rack project (bon-nieplants.com) for detailed instructions.

Get creative and use some of your herbs to make a fragrant edible wreath. Use fresh herbs that are flexible and easi-er to shape into a wreath. They will dry in place and can be harvested as needed.

Speed up the drying process in the micro-wave. Place herbs on a paper towel-covered paper plate. Start with one to two minutes on high. Repeat for 30 sec-onds as needed until the herbs are brittle.

Store dried herbs in an airtight plastic or glass jar.

Keep enjoying these fresh-from-the-garden flavors throughout the

remainder of the season. And consider preserving a few for you, your fam-ily and friends to enjoy throughout the winter.

Water temperatures are com-ing up very slow in both fresh & saltwater, and it could be the reason for slow fishing in some areas. The Providence River had so much bait fish this past week that anglers did not need to try to snag a few for fishing. Placing a fish net in the water alongside of the boat had the porgies swimming into it. Anglers soon realized that fishing up river from the huge schools of bait fish was a lot more productive. A lot of

undersize fish were reportedly caught and released this past week.

Fishing in the Canal on the Cape has been very good with some nice stripers being caught daily. Bottom fisher-men are doing very good fish-ing from boats on seabass, tau-tog and fluke, with many catch-ing there limits according to a report from Red Top Bait shop.

Fluke and seabass fishing in Rhode Island waters was still slow this past week, more than

likely because of the cold water temperatures. Capt. Mel True of Fishnet charters had little trouble this past weekend find-ing fish for his patrons. Limits of seabass and tautog had all on board reeling in fish. It seems that the Cape is a lot better fish-ing than Rhode Island to date, with some great striper fishing included.

Black bear are being spot-ted daily in the valley area. A recent story of a bear hunt-er in Pennsylvania harvest-

ing a 740 pound black bear with his Ross C o m p o u n d Bow, had to be a heart stopping event, as the hunter shot the huge bear from only seven yards away, as it lay in his bed. The story of Dusty Learn did not stop there. His buddy spotted the bear running from the area shortly after, and he also made a great shot with his crossbow. When the bear was finally found dead, both men had a hard time making a decision on who was going to tag the huge bear. Both men had hit their mark which resulted in the harvest-ing of the huge bear.

After the two hunters fin-ished discussing about who would tag the huge bear, they finally decided that Dusty Learn would tag it. In past cir-cumstances like these the hunt-er that placed the first shot into the animal, was the person that tagged the animal. That settled it. Dusty Learn would tag the bear, but the story about the two hunters bear hunt would remain with them for the rest of their life. The bear was removed from the woods with a tractor. Read the full story about the bear hunt in the May issue of The Pennsylvania News by Joe Kosack.

My brother Ken and his son Mark made a trip to the Quabbin Reservoir this past week to do a bit of fishing. After realizing that the road to the Gate 8 boat ramp was closed due to road construction, they turned around and headed for

Gate 43. They rented a boat & motor for $23 which includ-ed a full tank of gas. They fished the area for smallmouth bass first, and after catching a few small mouth

they headed out to the Gut. It is a long ride to the Gut but they wanted to try their luck on salmon and lakers. It was not long before they hooked into a lake trout and released it. A few more lake trout were caught and released before they headed for home. It was a great day on the water for the father & son team. Ken True is shown with one of the lake trout they caught on the Quabbin Res last week.

Locally trout fishing has been very good in the area for some, and others are struggling to catch a few fish. Numerous largemouth and small mouth bass are also being reported by area fishermen. Most bass anglers are taking pictures of their bass, and then they are released. Many anglers have a scale to weigh the bass, then take a picture of the weight of the fish on the scale, to validate their fish.

Do not forget next week’s Family Fun Day June 17, at the West Hill Dam area in Uxbridge. Fishing rods and reels will be supplied for any one that wants to fish. More next week.

BROOKFIELD — The spring season is nearing a close for most teams in the Tantasqua Regional Youth (TRY) Soccer program. The results of great training were extremely evi-dent while watching the U-10 Division 3 girls’ team, coached by Andy Marino, on a pleasant evening on the last day of May. During warm-ups, Marino led his girls through well-orga-nized drills that honed various skills and teamwork, and the girls responded competently (with some U10 giggles thrown in here and there).

Marino reflected that “[t]hey take direction very well and work hard for each other on the field.”

The focus on “team” was also clear when Marino sent all the girls up to the referee when the official called for captains ver-sus Shrewsbury at Lewis Field.

Sportsmanship was also on display when Shrewsbury could only start six girls in this seven-on-seven league. Marino kept one girl out of the starting alignment to keep the sides even. Bryce Vonhold got the start in goal for Tantasqua, while Emma Fitzgerald, Kelsey Rodas and Rachel Salisbury were placed as a defensive line.

Up top, Faith Iott and Emily Whittier filled the front line of the 3-2 formation. Keeping the sides even also resulted in very even play from the kickoff, with neither team able to dominate possession or gain good oppor-tunities on goal. Several min-utes after kickoff, a late arrival for Shrewsbury was put on the field and Marino was able to send out Charlotte Ardis to fill out a full seven-player side.

With their full complement, Tantasqua was then able to take over control of the game. Rodas worked the ball in for the first shot of the game in the fourth minute, but the Shrewsbury keeper was able to turn the shot out-of-bounds, setting up a corner kick. Tantasqua continued pressure on the Shrewsbury end with sensa-tional team passing. The abili-ty of each girl on the Tantasqua side to play their position and their role helped Tantasqua maintain possession, and dis-organizing the Shrewsbury defense. The Tantasqua team each kept their heads up, look-ing for that chance to pass to an open teammate and string out the space between Shrewsbury players. This effective, unself-ish play paid off minutes later

as Rodas was able to take a pass and weave through the Shrewsbury defense and put a shot home for the first goal of the match in the seventh minute.

After the goal, Marino subbed in Stephanie Krog on the back-line and Natalie Amaru up at striker. Shrewsbury and Tantasqua traded direct kicks as the result of handballs in dangerous areas of the field. However, in each case, the shots from distance didn’t meet their target and Tantasqua remained up by a goal.

Tantasqua seized back the momentum of the game, and Salisbury stole a pass and dribbled right past most of the Shrewsbury back line for a shot that went off the last Shrewsbury defender and out-of-bounds. Amaru then picked up the torch by working the ball up the field, reversing it and passing it through the Shrewsbury box, but the goalie was able to get her hands on it.

As good as these individu-al efforts were, Marino kept encouraging his players to “find a teammate” when gain-ing the ball. Ardis took this advice to heart and established herself as an excellent field director from her position at center back. Ardis collected any balls that went through the midfield and then calmly and decisively turned the ball back up to her most open teammate. Shrewsbury was having little success countering this team play by Tantasqua.

But Shrewsbury closed out the final minutes of the first half with a lot of pressure in the Tantasqua end. After a series of steals, shots and forcing goal kicks in the Tantasqua end, Shrewsbury nearly got on the board twice, but Vonhold made a kick-save on one attempt and Krog cleared a ball off the line behind her keeper to preserve the lead. At half, it was still Tantasqua leading, 1-0.

Krog relieved Vonhold of net duties for the second half. Right after kickoff, Shrewsbury, who by this point had gained anoth-er player on the bench, tried to test Krog, but the Tantasqua back line was playing excel-lent defense. Shrewsbury then got a breakaway against that

defense just three minutes into the second half and was able to shoot the ball low and hard past Krog into the back netting to knot the game up at 1-1.

A revitalized Shrewsbury and a determined Tantasqua then played a very back-and-forth game. Tantasqua settled back into their passing rhythm, with Ardis working a ball up to Salisbury who found Fitzgerald in the middle to put a shot on net. Whittier then found Ardis with a nice drop pass, leaving Ardis to launch a long-distance shot for Tantasqua. Fitzgerald also worked to turn defense into offense, and back again as she hustled from a for-ward position to track down a Shrewsbury attack on the left wing, stuffing a shot attempt.

Later, Tantasqua got a three-on-one breakaway down the field, but couldn’t convert. Amaru’s hard work finally paid off with an opportunity to work the ball into the box and strike a decent shot on frame, but the ball rang the post and bounced away from the goal. A ripped corner kick from Rodas in the 19th minute looked like it may break the stalemate, but the ball deflected down to the ground and then magical-ly right into the Shrewsbury keeper’s hands.

Moments later, Vonhold made a nice run down the middle, but the Shrewsbury goalie was able to position herself well and scoop up the low shot. Rodas finally solved the Shrewsbury defense with a nice touch to the left around two Shrewsbury defenders, and put a solid shot on net, whipping it by the keeper; 2-1 Tantasqua.

The last few minutes found Shrewsbury trying to equal-ize. Shrewsbury nearly got a chance with a rocket shot from near-midfield, but it went wide left. Neither the Tantasqua D nor time would let Shrewsbury get another decent chance. The referee sounded the whistle, and Tantasqua were the vic-tors of a hard-fought game.

After the smiling faces and ponytails of his charges had run off the field into the arms of their happy parents, Coach Marino had the following words to offer: “[t]his partic-ular game really highlighted the heart and determination of our team. The girls have never given up on a game and have consistently improved throughout the season. This squad is an absolute pleasure to coach and I am really proud of how well they have come together this season.”

Kelsey Rodas dribbles quickly upfield on one of her several stellar attacks.

The Sturbridge 10U Fire Ice Dragons team, sponsored by Table 3 Restaurant Group, com-pleted a three-game homestand sweep last week with wins over Auburn, Dudley and Charlton. The trifecta of victories showcased how every softball game is unique, with a high-scor-ing rally, a tight pitchers’ duel and a close nail-bit-er.

The first win was an amazing come-from-behind 7-5 victory over Auburn. With the team trailing 5-0 entering the

bottom of the last inning, Sturbridge’s bats final-ly came alive. The team collected 10 hits in the inning, tallying all seven of its runs.

Ella Reed led off with a single, followed by another single by Alana Williams. After Kiley Ryan advanced the runners with a field-er’s choice groundout, the team had consecu-tive singles from Madi Kerrissey (her second hit of the game), Fiona Knott, Sophia Webb, Gretchen Strasheim, Alivia Sauvageau (also her sec-

ond hit), Lila Casolowitz and Keira Cass. Abby Nyudu capped the rally with a smash deep to right field.

The following night, the Fire Ice Dragons held on for an 8-5 win over Dudley. In the game, Stephanie Krog, Reed, Sauvageau, Ryan, Strasheim and Knott each collected two hits. Casolowitz and Williams each singled once in the 14-hit attack. Dudley scored three times in the last inning and was threatening with the bases loaded when Reed

struck out the final bat-ter. Casolowitz struck out two in an inning of work. Knott and Ryan each had two RBI’s.

Finally, Table 3 had a five-inning pitchers’ duel, beating Charlton 2-0. Krog and Strasheim both pitched a scoreless inning, with Krog strik-ing out two and pouncing nimbly off the mound to grab a hard groundball and throw to Webb at first for the putout. Strasheim struck out the side in her one inning on the mound. Reed threw three score-less innings, striking out eight Charlton hitters.

Sturbridge eked home its two runs in the fourth on RBI’s by Reed and Strasheim. The inning was prolonged due to some nifty base-run-ning by Krog, who just beat a force out at third. Caslowitz scored the win-ning run.

The three-game win-ning streak brings Table 3’s record to 4-3.

Meanwhile, the Sturbridge 10U A team, sponsored by Incom, con-tinued its winning ways by turning a close game into a blowout with a sev-en-run fourth inning last week, beating Brimfield 8-1.

After Sturbridge hurl-er Hannah Wright struck out two Brimfield batters in the top of the first, Incom scored in the bot-tom of the inning when Payton McDonald sin-

gled with one out and was driven in by an RBI dou-ble by Claire Beaudreau.

Brimfield eked home a run in the second inning on a groundout to knot the score at 1-1. The game was kept close in the third when catcher Erin Farrell gunned down a runner on an attempted steal of third with a per-fect throw to third base-man Juhie Jain for the tag. McKenna Drake also recorded two assists from her second base position.

The score remained

tied until the bottom of the fourth, when Jewels Normandin led off the inning for Sturbridge with a single. McDonald followed with a double to drive her in for a 2-1 lead. Claire Beane then doubled to drive in anoth-er run. Beaudreau fol-lowed with a single, and Ava Detarando drove in two with a hit. Nicole Pelski, Farrell and Norah Stewart each followed with consecutive singles to put the game out of reach.

Pitcher Claire Beaudreau struck out one during two scoreless innings on the mound for Sturbridge’s 10U A team, sponsored by Incom.

WORCESTER — When reviewing a season, many high school varsity softball coaches would like a “do-over” regard-ing a few games. For Tantasqua Regional’s Phil Desroches, the Warriors’ first round Central Mass. Division 1 district tour-nament loss to Holy Name High on June 2 is one of those games.

The ninth-seeded Warriors recorded just four hits — all coming in different innings — in a 3-1 loss to the eighth-seeded Naps. Tantasqua finished its season with a 13-8 mark.

“There are a few games I’d like to have back, sure,” Desroches said. “And this is one of them. I’d love to have this one back. I’d really love to have this one back.

“We didn’t string together

hits and that’s what we needed to do,” Desroches continued, turning his attention to his team’s demise at the hands of Holy Name. “We had people on base, we had opportunities, we just didn’t put it together.”

The Warriors also played Holy Name earlier in the sea-son, back on May 11, losing to the Naps in that game, 4-2.

“We had two close games with them,” Desroches said. “I feel like, if we had strung some hits together in this game, things would have been differ-ent. We just kind of ran into a funk with the bats.”

Tantasqua recorded the first hit of the game — a ring-ing double off the bat of Abby LaFountain, the second hitter of the game — but Holy Name scored the first run, going ahead 1-0 on a home run by Mia Monopoli leading off the

bottom of the first inning.Monopoli hit a low line drive

that skipped past Tantasqua center fielder Sarah Harlinski. By the time Harlinski tracked the ball down and threw it back into the infield, Monopoli was emphatically touching home plate.

The Warriors tied the game, 1-1, on a home run of their own, in the fifth inning. Lindsey Zak, Tantasqua’s No. 8 hitter, led off the frame with a booming shot to right field that sailed over Holy Name right-fielder Liz Duanys’ head.

“Lindsey hits anywhere between fourth and eighth in our lineup. She’s got a lot of power,” Desroches said. “Lindsey is young, only a soph-omore, but she’s a good hitter. She will probably be our clean-up hitter next year.

“She generates a lot of

power,” Desroches continued. “Lindsey had a couple of home runs last year and this is her third home run this year. I feel like we have good sticks all the way through the lineup. No matter where you’re bat-ting, you have an opportunity to drive in runs.”

Holy Name (12-9) re-took the lead, for good as it turned out, in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Becca Goodney led off with a walk and then scurried to second on an infield single by Mairead O’Sullivan. With one out Rachel Liazos plated both runners, tripling over the

head of Harlinski to give the Naps a 3-1 lead.

Liazos, a freshman, didn’t remember much about the at-bat after the game — other than making contact.

“I have no idea what the count was, or where the pitch was, or what kind of pitch it was,” Liazos said. “I saw it. I swung at it. I got it. When I made contact I felt like it was a really smooth, nice hit. It felt good to come through for my team in a spot like that.”

Tantasqua’s other two hits in the game were singles off the bats of Jillian Dunn and Marie Stewart.

Warriors suffer second close setback to Holy Name, this time to end season

STURBRIDGE — Facing elimina-tion in the first round of the Central/Western Mass. Division 2 boys’ lacrosse district tournament, and with his team deadlocked in a 6-6 tie through three quarters with No. 12 Northampton High, Gregg Anderson, head coach of fifth ranked Tantasqua Regional, was proud of the way his team won the fourth quarter, 3-0, to take a 9-6 decision on Wednesday evening, May 31, at the Reservation.

“What I really liked about this game more than almost anything else was

when we got it tied up at 6-6 our guys responded,” he said. “We didn’t play that badly in the third quarter, just things didn’t bounce our way.”

When asked what may have changed in the mindset of his players, Anderson pointed toward a source of inspiration.

“I think we decided we were going to hitch up our trousers and put on our big boy pants and finish the game,” he said, before turning serious. “Of course Pedace was here and we didn’t want to end our season with him in the stands, especially at home.”

John Pedace stepped down as head coach of the Warriors after last sea-son and is now battling cancer for the fourth time.

Ben Beaudry scored a team-best three goals for Tantasqua, including the even-tual winner. He also chipped in three assists and said that the team plays its best when he and fellow attack players Michael Frio and Anthony Law all con-tribute. Frio finished with two goals and an assist and Law also scored two goals.

“When we’re all working together it’s the best because you can’t cover all of us at the same time,” said Beaudry.

Anderson also gave credit to the tan-dem of Tom Muir (two goals) and Sean Farland, who consistently won the face-off battle against their opponents.

But Northampton (12-7) certainly put a scare into the Warriors, as they per-formed at a much higher level than the first meeting between the two teams, which saw Tantasqua win a 17-6 game back in April.

“They’re one of the best-coached teams in Massachusetts,” Anderson said of Northampton, coached by lacrosse legend Matt Striebel. “He’s one of the greatest lacrosse players in the history of the game.”

Striebel played his lacrosse at Princeton University, winning two national championships, and also com-peted in Major Lacrosse League as well as on the United States National Team.

As a result the Blue Devils played inspired lacrosse — especially when they turned a 6-3 halftime deficit into a 6-6 stalemate — but the Warriors even-

tually persevered.“We got the ball, we possessed it for a

really long time and then took the right shots at the right time,” Beaudry said of the all-important fourth quarter. “We took the 99 percent [shots] instead of the 25 percent ones.”

Tantasqua then faced off with No. 4 Shrewsbury High on Saturday, June 3 in an instant classic district quarter-

final round matchup. The game was deadlocked at 9-9 at the end of reg-ulation and it took two overtimes to decide a winner. There, Law buried the decisive goal as Tantasqua improved to 17-5 and advanced to the semifinals, where they will take on top seeded Longmeadow High (18-3) on June 6, after press time.

NORTHBOROUGH — Simply put, the Tantasqua Regional girls’ varsity lacrosse team ran into a strong oppo-nent in Algonquin Regional when the Tomahawks hosted the Warriors in the first round of the Central/Western Mass. Division 1 district tournament last Wednesday, May 31.

Sixth seeded Algonquin grabbed a 9-1 halftime lead and not only matched, but exceeded their offensive produc-tion in the second half to eventually win a 20-2 decision.

But for Heather Egan, head coach of 11th ranked Tantasqua, she was proud of the way her team battled for a good portion of the first 25-minute stanza.

“I thought my girls did a good job,” she said. “In the first half we went nine minutes of constant defense between the third and fourth goal, I just wish we could have extended that and kept it a little closer.”

That sequence, which took precisely 8:57 of game time, saw the Warriors score the lone goal. The strike, coming off the stick of Camie Hall after a nice spin move to create separation, made it a 3-1 game. Tantasqua’s defense then stood tall and Algonquin didn’t make it 4-1 until many minutes later.

“Chloe came up big a few times in there,” mentioned Egan in regard to the goaltending of senior Chloe O’Brien, who finished with 16 saves.

But, in the end, the Tomahawks had too much offensive firepower. Sophie Scearbo scored four goals, while Nicole Kelly and Kate Sullivan both had three-goal performances. Chloe Chiota, Kelley Morin and Miranda Petrillo each scored twice, and four other players chipped in a goal apiece for the 20-goal outburst.

Algonquin (11-8) moved on to the quarterfinal round to play No. 3 Agawam High, while the Warriors’ season finished with a record of 12-9. But Tantasqua reached the playoffs for the ninth straight season — each and every year that they’ve had a varsity team.

“It was definitely a successful sea-son,” said Egan before mentioning what it may take to make the next step and contend for a district title. “I’d like to get more of my girls to start playing year-round.”

Nonetheless, Egan wanted to com-mend her nine seniors one last time. In addition to O’Brien and Hall — who finished with both of Tantasqua’s goals — they included Cassie Arpin, Brooke Galonek, Joanie Howland, Emma Jacque, Meaghan Lowell, Lauren Maus and Emily Morin.

“I was very impressed with my seniors this year. I thought they stepped up and did a great job,” Egan concluded.

FOOD

Hamburgers are a staple at backyard barbecues. Though burgers are a rela-tively simple food, mastering the tech-nique to grill burgers is no small feat, as there is more to great grilled burgers than simply firing up the grill and drop-ping down a patty.

• Choose fresh ground beef that has a decent percentage of fat. The fat-to-lean meat ratio should be around 20 percent fat to 80 percent meat. Spend a little more to get freshly ground meat that has not been previously frozen.

• Don’t overwork the burgers with a lot of handling. This will warm up the fat in the burger, which causes it to emulsify and could make the meat rubbery.

• Reconsider adding a lot of herbs, spices or add-ins to the burgers, as such items can detract from the flavor of the

meat. Extra herbs and spices also may require extra mixing, which can lead overhandling.

• Push a dimple into the top of the burger, which will help prevent the burger from expanding upward and out while cooking and rounding out in the process. The dimple will keep the top of the burger flat, which facilitates easy topping.

• Make sure the grill is hot. Burgers do well with high heat and will cook relatively quickly.

• Resist the urge to push down on the patty with your spatula. This will cause the juices to spill out and may result in a dry, tough burger.

• Let burgers rest before serving. This lets the juices redistribute throughout and makes for a moist and tasty first bite. TF167203

Grilled foods boast inviting flavors that put many diners on the lookout for second helpings. Quite often the magic behind grilled meals lies in the mari-nade used to give foods that flavorful kick.

Marinades can be used to enhance the flavor of meats, vegetables and poultry. While marinades add flavor, they also may be responsible for some other ben-efits in grilled foods.

MARINADES ADD FLAVOR

Defined as a savory acidic sauce in which food is soaked to enrich its fla-vor, marinades help break down fiber and tenderize certain foods. The base of many marinades include vinegar, lemon juice or wine, and marinades can be enhanced with spices, oil and herbs.

It’s important not to let foods sit in marinades for too long, as any alco-hol, acid or salt in the mixture can

chemically “cook” the food in a pro-cess known as “denaturing.” Adhere to timing recommendations when using store-bought marinades, and keep such guidelines in mind when using home-made marinades as well. Many may tell you to let foods sit no longer than four hours. Marinades with citrus juic-es may require even less time for flavor to penetrate.

The timing of marinade use also will depend on the foods being marinated. Delicate items, such as seafood, may change with regard to texture or color in a matter of minutes.

It’s important to always marinate foods in the refrigerator. Food left sit-ting out on a counter — even when it’s in a marinade — invites the growth of bacteria. If a recipe calls for marinating at room temperature, continue to mari-nate in the refrigerator, but extend the length of time you marinate. This helps to prevent foodborne illnesses.

When marinating, use plastic or glass containers so the marinade does not cause a chemical reaction, which may occur if you marinate foods in metal containers. Discard all marinades for raw meats and poultry when the time comes to cook the foods, as leftover mar-inades may contain bacteria that makes them unsafe to reuse on other foods.

THE NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS OF MARINATING

In addition to flavor, marinades may improve the nutritional value of grilled foods. In 2008, researchers at Kansas State University discovered that mar-inating meat in antioxidant-rich spice blends can reduce the risk of forming heterocyclic amines, or HCAs, by more than 80 percent. HCAs are harmful, cancer-causing compounds that form when food chars over an open flame at high temperatures. Marinades must be rich in spices to have any HCA-busting properties.

Marinades are a secret weapon in the creation of tasty, tender and healthy foods. They come in quite handy when grilling, and add an extra dose of flavor when cooking over high heat. TF167209

Tips for grilling the perfect burger

Master magical marinades

CAPTION: With their mix of acidic ingredients and spices, marinades add flavor and may even pack some nutritional punch.

People rely on indoor and outdoor grills to pre-pare foods all year long. Not only can menu items made on the grill taste delicious, but they also may be healthier than foods cooked via other methods. When done cor-rectly, grilling is a ver-satile way to cook tasty foods relatively quickly.

One of the challenges of cooking over high, open heat is the difficulty in determining just how long to keep foods over the flame. Take them off too soon and they may be undercooked. Wait too long and items may be dry and charred. Use these tips to make grill-ing easy and safe.

PREHEAT AND PREPARE THE GRILL

Be sure to preheat the grill to between 400 F and 500 F. Use a nonstick spray on the grates while the grill is heating. This way foods will not stick and create a mess that

will ultimately require considerable cleaning.

BUY A MEAT THERMOMETER

One of the easiest ways to take the guesswork out of grilling is to use a meat thermometer. By knowing internal tem-peratures in a few sec-onds, grillmasters can have juicy foods that are cooked to the correct tem-perature so foodborne illnesses do not become a problem. Cooking by sight is inaccurate, as the outside of the food may look well done even though the inside is still pink. Thermometers allow cooks to avoid cut-ting open foods to check doneness, spilling out tasty juices in the pro-cess.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture advis-es on minimal internal temperatures for meats and poultry (https://w w w . f s i s . u s d a . g o v /wps/portal/fsis/topics/

food-safety-education/get-answers/food-safe-ty-fact-sheets/safe-food-h a n d l i n g / s a f e - m i n i -mum-internal-tempera-ture-chart/ct_index). Keep in mind that food continues to cook when it is taken off the grill. Therefore, removing a few minutes before it has reached a certain tem-perature is ideal.

FISH IS FAST

Don’t avoid grilling fish because of its deli-cacy. Using wood planks or any of the newer grill-ing gadgets available can keep flaky fish from fall-ing through the grates. Plus, fish is an ideal go-to when one is really short on cooking time. If nec-essary, experiment with varieties of fish that are durable, such as salmon or tuna.

LEAVE AN EMPTY SPOT

Have an unheated area

of the grill or one that is set to a low temperature so there is somewhere to move food if a flare-up occurs or if something is cooking too fast. This is also a good spot to finish foods that may need a lit-tle more time over indi-

rect heat — such as burg-ers that require melted cheese.

USE SAUCE AT THE END

Avoid charring foods by using sugary sauces toward the end of cook-

ing. Otherwise, the sauce can burn quickly and contribute to potentially carcinogenic char.

Grilling can be made easier with a few tricks of the trade. The results will be delicious, healthy and safe to enjoy.

Grilling foods to be safe and healthy

Taking the party outdoors is an easy way to expand a guest list and create space for guests. Outdoor events also may be less taxing on home decor, and hosts may find there’s less

cleanup after outdoor parties than indoor affairs. The fol-lowing are a handful of ways to make outdoor entertaining even easier.

• Create a space that can han-

dle the elements. Keep in mind that Mother Nature can be fick-le, and you will have to prepare for different scenarios if you will be hosting outdoors. Much of the stress involving outdoor

events revolves around the weather ruining the festivities. This stress can be removed by having a contingency plan. Give guests a spot where they can escape the elements. Renting a tent or a canopy is an easy solution. A tent or can-opy will offer shade in bright sunlight and keep guests dry if clouds roll in. When the weath-er is cold, a tent with side flaps can serve as a buffer against the chill.

• Ensure there’s enough seat-ing. Keep guests comfortable with adequate seating. This may involve a little creativi-ty. Takes seats from inside the house out to the patio, or use stools or benches. You can even lay blankets picnic-style for added seating. Another idea is to rent chairs from a party sup-ply retailer. Some chair rentals can be as low as $2 per chair.

• Do not leave food sitting out. Inform guests when the food and other refreshments will be served so they can plan accordingly. This maximizes

efficiency and prevents food from spoiling. Have nonperish-able snacks available for late arrivals.

• Make foods and beverages self-service. Running in and out of the house to cater to each individual guest can be tiring. Set up a drink and food station outdoors so guests can help themselves to whatever they like. If you’d like to offer some more specialized attention, use a rolling cart to push around a signature drink service and let guests grab a spritzer or anoth-er cocktail.

• Bring the music outdoors. Wireless Bluetooth speakers have made it easier to listen to music outdoors. Simply create a playlist and relax.

• Keep guests comfortable. Make bug spray, light blankets, wraps, sunglasses, and other courtesy items easily accessi-ble to guests.
