Bv CHARITY B. LEGVOI.D WILMINGTON - The Finance

Committee and the Planning Board held a joint public hearing Tuesday March 18 in the Town Hall Auditorium for the purpose of discussion of the articles in the warrant for the May 3rd Annual Town Meeting.

The following is a summary of those warrant articles that engendered public discussion. In addition to the Planning Board and the Finance Committee, the Assistant Town Manager, Town Counsel, and two selectmen were on hand to answer questions.

Article 5 outlines the Town budget of expenses and salaries for fiscal year 2009. John Doherty, Finance Committee Chairman, explained that the Committee has had seven meetings over several months to review this and made the offer to answer any questions residents might have. No questions were asked.

Article 17 petitions to change the Planning Board from an appointed board to an elected board and outlines the process.

Planning Board Chairman Michael Sorrentino read into the record a letter from several residents who were in opposi- tion to the article due to concern over about the impact' of politics upon the planning process if its members were: to be elected. Sorrentino stated that the Planning Board itself would hold its comments until the floor of town meeting, but said he believes it represents the town professionally in -its current state.

Article 19 requests the authorization to accept 43D legislation for the purpose of an conducting an expedited permitting process for a specific parcel of land. The parcel of land that has been identified is part of the property that was origi- nally slated for the Mills Mall project. It is comprised of-23 acres on the west side - <jf Interstate 93 and is a land- locked parcel that cannot be developed without the construe tion of an interchange. According to the article, the terms of the expedited permit-

The Ahern Family Foundation Family affair brings aid to veterans and their families Bv CHARITY B. LEGVOLD WILMINGTON - Once again

this year, Wilmington's Steve and Lissa Ahern helped plan a dinner party for more than 500 friends, family, veterans and special guests all as a benefit to raise funds and awareness for the needs of veterans and their families.

It started out, years ago, as a small gathering on St. Patrick's Day at the home of Steve's brother Robert Ahern, Jr., and it kept growing each year. In 2001 Robert's wife Eileen declared that it had out- grown their home and must be moved. Just after the events of September 11, 2001 unfolded, the Aherns decided to turn their feelings of helplessness into something positive.

They decided to work together as a family to hold a fundraiser at the Montvale Plaza in Stoneham. That first year - through only friends, family, and word of mouth - there were 350 people in attendance. Tickets sold out weeks in advance, and they raised approximately $10,000, which they donated to the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans.

The AWn Family Charitable Foundation (AFCF) was created in 2001. According to its website, "The Foundation is a non-profit organization that seeks to assist veterans and current members of our military fighting the war on terror- ism. Through our fundraising efforts we donate substantial financial grants to military support organizations that deal

directly with affected veterans and military personnel who are facing many challenges along with their families."

The Foundation is a non-polit- ical organization and takes no position on the conflicts. The Aherns believe that if we, as a society, are willing to send our young men and women off to war, then we should do everything in our power to assist them when they come home. The website states the AFCF's

mission to raise funds and awareness for those veterans past, present and future who may be in crisis and in need of assistance.

The Ahern Foundation holds two primary fundraisers throughout the year. The first is the St. Patrick's Day Dinner Dance each March, and later in the year they host a more casu- al fundraiser centered around a gathering to watch the annual Army/Navy football game.

On March 15,2008 the Ahern Foundation held their annual St. Patrick's Day Dinner Dance at the Marriott Hotel in Quincy with more than 500 formally dressed guests in attendance It was the first year that Steve and Lissa included their two sons Colin, 12, and Brendan, 13. in the Foundation event.

Lissa and Steve moved the family to Wilmington almost eight years ago and each year

TEWKSBURY - A National Book Award (YA) Winner and National Book Award (YA) finalist head up a group of four authors performing at Tewksbury Memorial High School on April 4th, 2008.

On the evening of April 4th, Pete Hautman (2004 National Book Award winner in the category of Young People's Literature), Nancy Werlin (2006 National Book Award finalist in the category of Young People's Literature), and ALA (American Library Association) recognized authors Kate Morgenroth and Alan Gratz will perform readings of their work, followed by a question-and-answer session and a book signing. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the readings will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m.

TMHS's Literary Festival Committee along with its spon- sors the Tewksbury Public Library, Holiday Inn, 99 Restaurant, Hannaford

Supermarket, and Tewksbury 5k Educational Road Race teamed up to bring these authors in from around the country. The committee is made up of teachers and students from the high school.

During the school day the authors will meet for book talks and discussions about the writer's life with 120 festival students. That evening, TMHS welcomes all book lovers to hear the authors read and have books signed. An audience of over 400 is anticipated.

The author day is the culmi- nating event of a year-long effort. The Literary Festival Committee has founded a book club, invited special guest speakers, held a creative writing contest, and arranged for high school students to interact with elementary and middle school students over books.

Teachers in the high school's Humanities Department have long noticed that students resist reading assignments over the summer and during the school year. At the same time, teachers recognize that many students at TMHS have a sincere love of reading. The literary festival was designed to give book lovers an opportunity to interact with professionals in the field and to encourage all students to find pleasure in reading and creative writing.

Letters to y/fjt the editor

BEC: safe, reliable energy •car Editor,

! would like to point to the facts regarding quality and security concerns as they relate to the Billerica Energy (Voter (BEC). The DEIR ref- erenced on Iillerical'owerPlant.org holds

viiiil information regarding the environmental impacts of the (acility. I would direct readers • section 5.0 of the DEIR on

i',c 86 to page 103, which peaks directly to air quality • ues. We state categorically I il there is no violation of air ' mdards. In fact, we are con- i'lered to have "insignificant" 'Missions by definitions set out

b\ I he EPA for all pollutants hiding fine participates,

rhe Town of Billerica has ii i \ined an independent health - nsulting firm, which includes

r Jack Spengler who has a ihirty-year association with the Harvard School of Public Health. This firm has conclud-

ii lhat the Billerica Energy Center will meet all air quality standards. This project will ilso replace the need to rely on

ler, more environmentally harmful power plants. BEC must meet approval of the Massachusetts DEP's standards which have been developed over the past thirty years by medical and public health specialists to protect the most susceptible of our population to conditions of air pollution including those who are asth- matic, the elderly and children. V the (Billerica) Selectmen's meeting on March 3, Dr.

icngler and associates stated that the power plant impacts are the equivalent of running in automobile for an additional

minute and this impact is the ! ane for Billerica and sur-

i mding communities. Regarding security concerns,

please note that either opera- i"/iis or security personnel will b< on the premises 24 hours a day, seven »'days a week. Vklitionally, full-time staff will be available at our Lowell plant, which is ten minutes

, iv on the Iowell Connector. ' anl operators will also visit

the plant daily during operating periods and for all deliver- '<•• Also, Emergency Response • ''ans and Site Security Plans

ve been developed with the

Billerica Fire and Police Department and reviewed with fire personnel in each neigh- boring community. These plans include real-time Internet based video cameras and emergency alarms linked to the Lowell staff and the Billerica Police and Fire Departments. The two 18,000-gallon enclosed ammonia tanks, which are 81 percent water content, will be located about one-half of a mile from the Concord River. Ammonia is used to scrub emissions and is a key part of the DEP clean plant strategy. Since the publication of the DEIR, BEC agreed to the request of the Billerica Fire Department to enclose the tanks. As a result, there will now be no off-site impact from a worst case tank release. In addition, the tanks will be sur- rounded by dikes, which con- tain 110% of the capacity of the tank in the unlikely event of a release. Moreover, the fuel tank, which is located one half mile from the river with the same containment as the ammonia tanks - essentially a tank within a tank - will con- tain ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel. This fuel will only be used during a natural gas interruption such as the severe winter cold snap of January 2004. The remaining time we will be running on natural gas and the tank will be at near-empty level.

The residents of Billerica and surrounding towns have legitimate concerns and we have asked for the chance to provide you with factual, credible information pertaining to the Billerica Energy Center. Our opponents owe you the same. This facility is before three separate state regulators whose duty it is to ensure that this facility will be safe, clean and give us the reliable supply our power grid managers suggest we need in the near future.

For more information, please visit www. dgcleanpower. com/billeri ca.htm, e-mail billericapow- [email protected], or call 1-888-353-3003.

Sincerely, Joe Fitzpatrick

A vote for Ron Hall lb Ibwksbury Voters: It's that time of year again

.here we as informed voters begin to assess the situation on

hich candidates have both the credentials and the abili- i les to best represent the residents of our town in the upcom- 11 m April 5th election.

I'm asking you to think care- iiilly about that choice.

In keeping with the positive direction I believe our repre- sentation on the Board of Selectmen has taken, I have reached the conclusion to continue my support for RON HALL in his second bid for the open seat on the board. With

ie constant "bailing out on the :>wn when the going gets i »i gh" that we have become *.cc istomed to over the many tuin-i this process has taken during the past year...wouldn't It Ix' nice to finally have some- bne in the position who is GROUNDED and in it for the

long haul? Ron Hall has both the financial expertise and the time to devote to being a FULL TIME Selectman working FOR YOU on the financial tasks at hand currently facing our town. Despite his previous loss, did he "vanish from sight" with sour grapes? NO, instead Ron remains consistently involved in the town as he's ALWAYS been - a constant presence trying to make a difference. To me, that speaks vol- umes about his character and integrity; qualities you'd want in an elected leadership position - this shouldn't be about egos.

If you too see the value in this, I would encourage you to join me and support Ron Hall for Selectman with your vote on Saturday April 5th. Thank you.

Betsy's Best Bets i by Betsy Woods McGuiri

Talk to the Animals Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms. (George Eliot)

*

There are those places that are so well-known, so revered, so respected and established that everything that could possibly be said, has been said. Yet, there is the feeling that there will always be more to say, that ongoing praise and acknowl- edgement should never end and that each new generation must also be told the story.

Angell Memorial Animal Hospital is one of those places. Knowing that there is an animal hospital that is the equivalent of, let's say, Massachusetts General Hospital, is a comfort- ing thought for me There has never been a time in my life when I didn't have animals, mostly dogs and cats. During all of those years I had the same vet, who I loved. When he passed away I seriously thought about not having animals any- more. I couldn't imagine anyone filling his shoes. And the truth is, no one ever has. For routine care I've found someone who I like, but in my opinion the old-fashioned type of vet is long gone I thought of my vet as having "the gift" or a "calling" - he was fearless around animals but genuinely loved them, he was practical and very reasonably priced. Try to find that today!

But even so, there were those times when I needed more. One time, at midnight, when I finally had the courage, I took my old lame dog to Angell to do what had to be done. Another time, feeling that an expert second opinion was necessary, I went to Angell.

Recently we've been in and out of Angell more times than I care to think about - and this is only the beginning. Our dog Trooper has allergies. Yes, hard to believe, but dogs that live with humans in our "made by Dupont" environment are just like us - sick. Those of us over a certain age can remember

when life was normal. I swear, I cannot think of one solitary person, when I was growing up, who had an allergy - or for that matter, seasonal depression, light and dark sensitivity, chronic fatigue syndrome, an eating disorder, hyper-activity, PMS, BP, OCD, ADD ... well, you get my drift.

After spending thousands of dollars on countless visits to the vet and with improvement that was short-lived, after four years of "treating symptoms," it hit me "Dog" needs a specialist and not just any so-called specialist.

Our first and second visits to Angell were three hours long. During both appointments total confidence was instantly conveyed by the technicians, assistants, and veterinarian. Difficult cases, the seriously ill and the hard-to-pinpoint are all basically routine at Angell. Cardiology, dentistry, dermatol- ogy, oncology, neurology, avian and exotic pet medicine are some of the specialties that are available Their emergency service is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. And Angell also offers dog training classes and help with behavior problems, and of course has an adoption center with too many abandoned and surrendered animals who need homes.

The history of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA) is impressive Back in 1868 two riders raced their horses over 40 miles of rough roads until both horses dropped dead. At the time George Angell, a prominent Bostonian and legal and financial professional, was so alarmed and horrified that he wrote a letter to the Boston Daily Advertiser criticizing such reprehensible cruelty. After reading the letter, Emily Appleton, a well-to-do Bostonian

Fitness IQ

and animal lover backed George Angell and within a month he founded the MSPCA. His vision spread quickly. With such well known supporters as John Quincy Adams and Ralph Waldo Emerson, animal protection legislation passed easily. By 1871 anticruelty laws had been enact- ed across the country.

One of the aspects of Angell that I like the most is that I don't feel like I'm being taken advantage of - I don't feel like the vet is a salesman. There is no "selling up," if you know what I mean, no padding the list of possibilities and no hidden costs or unnecessary testing. And speaking of that, did you know that food allergy tests are unreliable and incorrect? We found this out after spending hundreds of dollars on food tests and then God knows how much on special-diet dog food and God knows how much time and inconvenience reading labels and mixing, chopping, dicing and re reading and checking the extensive list of foods that Trooper should avoid. At Angell, the very first step in identifying what was causing his itch was called "food isolation." For she weeks the only food that Trooper ate was rab- bit, something that he has never had before At the end of the trial he had not improved at all. Gee, guess what that means. No food allergy! This is not the place a family newspaper, to tell you how I feel about the vets and labs that encourage food allergy testing. Could it be possible that ONLY Angell knows about "food isolation" trial and error? Sure

Once food problems were elim- inated Trooper was tested for environmental allergies. Within a half-hour, while we took a walk, the results were in. That's right, no waiting. After every visit we knew exactly where we stood and where we were ulti-

>

mately headed with his health problems. Throughout the history of the

MSPCA George Angell's ideals have endured. In the early 1900's the first animal shelter was opened and MSPCA law enforcement officers were given full legal power. Later the World Society for the Protection of Animals (MSPCA'S international arm) was formed, and in the 60*s and 70's the MSPCA was behind the passage of federal and international legislation such as The Animal Welfare Act and The Endangered Species Act. In recent years programs such as Living With Wildlife and The Animal Disaster Relief Fund were established. I could go on and on. The MSPCA'S list of accomplishments to protect animals is long and extraordi- nary. And after almost 140 years their work goes on with the same passion and persever- ance

It really is our responsibility to protect all animals from harm. Without those of us who care, animals are helpless at the hand of abuse. Consider making a donation to the MSPCA, adopt a pet if you can or volunteer at a shelter. Take a look at the Calendar of Events on the MSPCA'S website And the next time you're in Boston, walk over to Post Office Square and visit the George T. Angell Memorial Plaza. An oasis in the middle of tall buildings and financial wealth, the small picturesque park is a sanctuary of humility and nature Stop and sit and contemplate the inspirational words at the foot of the monu- ment and do some thinking about wild animals, pets and our place in the big picture and our humanity here on the planet earth.

Change your life today Wilmington's Biggest Loser

starts this week. You can change your life today!

At last count, over 24 brave souls have taken up the challenge by joining the largest weight loss event ever held in town. Each week, we will post the progress of our intrepid crew on this page...using code names of course!

Starting today, you can also count on useful tips on how to help you lose weight. Just keep in mind that you will not be able to make wholesale changes overnight. Everyone who has weight to lose has spent thousands of dollars on food and relentless hours eating meals they knew were "problematic." Reversing the

results will NOT come easily. As a country, we are large and

getting larger. The causes of this have been debated ad nau- seum for quite some time among scientists, authors and the rest of us just trying to get through the day. What most of us need are concrete recommendations of things we can use today to help us reach our goals. I have pooled these tips from multiple sources. I hope you find them helpful in your quest to become Wilmington's Biggest Loser!

1. Don't eat fried food! It won't just make you fatter, but the trans fats can impact ner- vous system development as well; doughnuts, French fries, chips, etc....

Letter to the editor

2. Minimize your refined sugar intake. Sugar intake trig- gers insulin surges which can cause a yoyo effect on your food cravings all day. Soda, candy, Pop Tarts, etc. NOTE TO SELF: Pop Tarts are NOT a food group!

3. Increase the % of protein in your diet. Eat complete, lean protein with every meal. This means, chicken, fish, and lean beef.

4. Start taking a quality fish oil supplement every day. Try to consume roughly 1 gram with every meal. Omega 3's will aid in a host of metabolic actions in the body. This is also referred to as "good fats".

5. Everyone should be taking a Multi-Vitamin every day. Make sure it is a top-quality brand. Your body has to be able to absorb it!

6. Drink more water! As a rule, don't drink beverages with

more than 0 calories. 7. Never skip breakfast.

a. Eat a healthy mix of protein, carbs and good fats at the start of the day.

b. Eat every 2-3 hours. This will increase metabolism.

8. Those looking to lose weight should avoid these "white" foods: potatoes, white rice, "enriched" white bread, cereals and other non-whole grain foods. If it flies, swims, runs or is green - eat it.

9. Eat like a professional athlete!

a. Prepare meals ahead of time

b. Eat a wide variety of foods.

c. Eat "whole foods" every day.

Today's Fact: Soda is the #1 source of additional calories in the American diet.

TOWN CRIER • WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19,2006

Smell the Coffee ify~€harity Boice Legvold

2 There are leu than seven Weeks to the opening of the annual town meeting! I Was anyone listening last week jvhen the Town of Tewksbury took a huge step in the budget Cess at the Selectmen's meet-

on Tuesday night? Tbwn Manager David Cressman presented a fully balanced budget and then, saving that it presented severe service reductions that he could not advocate, presented a second balanced budget that utilizes an override or "consideration or a trash fee of $215 per household. Finally, he said that even the second budget might not be enough and a third, which would closely approximate the Financial Planning Task Force (FPTF) recommendations, might be on the table at some point before Tbwn Meeting.

There are less than seven weeks to the opening of the annual town meeting!

Cressman's FY2009 Budget Message can be read in its entirety on the Town website, www.tewksbury.info, under the tab "Town Manager." The balanced budget and alternate budget are also available on the website If you missed the meeting, the Budget Message is a document well worth the reading. ! In his presentation Cressman opened the door for discussion within all departments about the effect of his two different budgets. Or did he close a door? If an override fails, then the Board of Selectmen has the power to implement a trash fee without seeking approval of the town. Do you hear me? If the powers

that be decide that the cuts would be too severe without some increase in revenue then they have the power to implement fees to make up that difference

The problem is that there are two issues at work here. First, do we, or do we not need an infusion of cash to maintain essential services? Second, if we do need that money, where should it come from - an override or increased fees?

In the first issue, there are many residents that question whether we truly need an infusion of cash or is money being mismanaged, contracts poorly negotiated and cuts in overhead not being made. Residents with these kinds of questions need to step up now and get their answers, provide suggestions, and let their feelings be known about what they see as priority spending in town. These are not the kinds of questions that will be answered by voting down an override.

It is entirely possible in this process that residents will only have a say in the second of the two issues - where the money will come from - override or trash fee If we are told at or before Tbwn Meeting that if an override fails at election then Selectmen will institute a trash fee in lieu of making the most severe cuts, then a vote against an override will mean only that you would rather pay a trash fee The time to send any messages to Town officials is now, before Town Meeting and before the override ballot question is put before us.

Do you disagree with Cressman when he says he cannot advocate the severity of cuts in services? Or do you feel strongly that services should be maintained or possibly even improved a little with an infusion of cash? It is time to watch for the public hearings and let your voices be heard so that when the Town Manager and the Board of Selectmen discuss whether or not a trash fee should be imple- mented if an override fails, they are mindful of the input of the voters who will decide future town elections.

Now that Cressman has provided several sets of budget numbers and outlined what all town departments directly under him would look like with several different levels of cuts, the School Committee needs to step to the plate and show us what the different numbers would represent for the schools.

At their meeting last Wednesday the School Committee held a public hearing on the FY2009 proposed budget. There were THREE people in the audience for the hearing and only one of those asked questions about the budget. We had just learned, the night before, the budget numbers going forward in the process and only THREE residents wanted to ask questions, make a statement or hear in person what the School Committee had to say about the numbers?

The School Committee asked the superintendent to take the first step and show them $1.5 million in cuts from their budget request, a number that may rep-

resent the best case scenario. The rest of those steps need to happen quickly to allow voters time to make informed choices at Town Meeting. Watch for an April public hearing that will provide another chance for residents to ask questions or speak out about then* priorities in the School Department.

Personally, I'm still waiting to see a budget plan that residents can rally around. I want the leaders to step up and say "this is what the school department will look like without an override or trash fee" and demonstrate the need for an infusion of cash. I want Cressman and School Officials to pick a plan and stick to it. If any "magic money" should appear later on then put it in free cash for an unexpected emergency or to offset some of the growing deficit projected for next year.


Town officials need to demonstrate that they are making responsible budget cuts and con solidations as called for in the FPTF report. Leaders such as the town manager, superintendent of schools and other school and town administrators need to make a visible cost savings sac- rifice in their own contracts to show they are truly leading the way when they are asking others to re-open union contracts. Visibility is crucial in every part of the budget process and time is of the essence

Shame, shame on Tewksbury Police Chief and Town Manager.

Wal-Mart is now being allowed to open on Sunday. Mr. Sam Walton is probably standing I in bis grave. He valued family time at Thanksgiving, and Christmas. At least he family values. Methuen, North Reading, Framingham had the class to say no but our town fathers couldn't. They will now be open.1' on Thanksgiving and who knows about Christmas.'>Vou should be ashamed of yourselves.

I was at the High School this past Thursday for/he Health Expo for the children and want to let everyone who was involved know how successful I fe}| it was for the education of our children. I was very pleased at the cleanliness of the High School/ We entered through the front door and walked dowu,to the gym. We were reading the dedication plaque,, at the front door and didn't realize that the HS was rjuilt in 1950. It looks just great for it's age The custodians are doing a fine job keeping the HS clean. I /was impressed with the shiny floors and the yellow ceramic brick walls as well as the gym floor. Keep up the great work!

Smell the Coffee ~by~Gharity Boice Legvold

Two Gents. Last week I wrote about the missing STOP sign on

Pinewood Road, well I'd like to acknowledge the Town with a Thumbs Up for getting the sign replaced so quickly.

Thnaks!

> There are less than seven weeks to the opening of the annual town meeting! I Was anyone listening last week when the Town of Tewksbury 4ook a huge step in the budget Ciss at the Selectmen's meet-

on Tuesday night? Town Manager David Cressman presented a fully balanced budget and then, saying that it presented severe service reductions that he could not advocate, presented a second balanced budget that utilizes an override or "consideration or a trash fee of $215 per household. Finally, he said that even the second budget might not be enough and a third, which would closely approximate the Financial Planning Task Force (FPTF) recommendations, might be on the table at some point before Town Meeting.


Cressman's FY2009 Budget Message can be read in its entirety on the Town website, www.tewksbury.info, under the tab "Town Manager.'' The balanced budget and alternate budget are also available on the website If you missed the meeting, the Budget Message is a document well worth the reading. ! In his presentation Cressman opened the door for discussion within all departments about the effect of his two different budgets. Or did he close a door? If an override fails, then the Board of Selectmen has the power to implement a trash fee without seeking approval of the town. Do you hear me? If the powers

Burr, film critic for The Boston Globe and author of the book The Best Old Movies for Families: A Guide to Watching .Together, will be the guest speaker.

This brief business meeting to elect officers for the coming year will precede the program with Ty Burr.

that be decide that the cuts would be too severe without some increase in revenue then they have the power to implement fees to make up that difference.

The problem is that there are two issues at work here. First, do we, or do we not need an infusion of cash to maintain essential services? Second, if we do need that money, where should it come from - an override or increased fees?

In the first issue, there are many residents that question whether we truly need an infusion of cash or is money being mismanaged, contracts poorly negotiated and cuts in overhead not being made Residents with these kinds of questions need to step up now and get their answers, provide suggestions, and let their feelings be known about what they see as priority spending in town. These are not the kinds of questions that will be answered by voting down an override.

It is entirely possible in this process mat residents will only have a say in the second of the two issues - where the money will come from - override or trash fee If we are told at or before Town Meeting that if an override fails at election then Selectmen will institute a trash fee in lieu of making the most severe cuts, then a vote against an override will mean only that you would rather pay a trash fee The time to send any messages to Town officials is now, before Town Meeting and before the override ballot question is put before us.

Do you disagree with Cressman when he says he cannot advocate the severity of cuts in services? Or do you feel strongly that services should be maintained or possibly even improved a little with an infusion of cash? It is time to watch for the public hearings and let your voices be heard so that when the Town Manager and the Board of Selectmen discuss whether or not a trash fee should be imple- mented if an override fails, they are mindful of the input of the voters who will decide future town elections.

Now that Cressman has provided several sets of budget numbers and outlined what all town departments directly under him would look like with several different levels of cuts, the School Committee needs to step to the plate and show us what the different numbers would represent for the schools.

At their meeting last Wednesday the School Committee held a public hearing on the FY2009 proposed budget. There were THREE people in the audience for the hearing and only one of those asked questions about the budget. We had just learned, the night before, the budget numbers going forward in the process and only THREE residents wanted to ask questions, make a statement or hear in person what the School Committee had to say about the numbers?

The School Committee asked the superintendent to take the first step and show them $1.5 million in cuts from their budget request, a number that may rep-

resent the best case scenario. The rest of those steps need to happen quickly to allow voters time to make informed choices at Town Meeting. Watch for an April public hearing that will provide another chance for residents to ask questions or speak out about their priorities in the School Department.

Personally, I'm still waiting to see a budget plan that residents can rally around I want the leaders to step up and say "this is what the school department will look like without an override or trash fee" and demonstrate the need for an infusion of cash. I want Cressman and School Officials to pick a plan and stick to it. If any "magic money" should appear later on then put it in free cash for an unexpected emergency or to offset some of the growing deficit projected for next year.


Town officials need to demonstrate that they are making responsible budget cuts and con- solidations as called for in the FPTF report. Leaders such as the town manager, superintendent of schools and other school and town administrators need to make a visible cost savings sac- rifice in their own contracts to show they are truly leading the way when they are asking others to re-open union contracts. Visibility is crucial in every part of the budget process and time is of the essence

Shame, shame on Tewksbury Police Chief and town Manager.

Wal-Mart is now being allowed to open on Sunday. Mr. Sam Walton is probably standing I in his grave. He valued family time at Thanksgiving, and Christmas. At least he family values. Methuen, North Reading, Framingham had the class to say no but our' fathers couldn't. They will now be op Thanksgiving and who knows about Christmas.' should be ashamed of yourselves.

I was at the High School this past Thursday forfthe Health Expo for the children and want to let everyone who was involved know how successful I feja it was for the education of our children. I was very pleased at the cleanliness of the High School./We entered through the front door and walked dow^to the gym. We were reading the dedication ptaquejat the front door and didn't realize that the HS was b^ilt in 1960. It looks just great for it's age The custodians are doing a fine job keeping the HS clean. I was impressed with the shiny floors and the yellow ceramic brick walls as well as the gym floor. Keep up the great work!

The school's other gold medal went to the Team Works Jour- some of Steve Tello, George D'Amelio, Kaitlin Hogan and Ron Stocker. This same group went to the state finals in the event last year.

"It's really exciting that they're returning," Costello said.

"They're the old guys on the block this year," joked John Bagni, an electrical instructor at the school.

Bagni credited Hogan with being particularly unselfish.

"We talked her into staying on the team because we really needed her," he said. "She could have gone to nationals individu- ally."

The Team Works event sees students build just about every aspect of a house including the foundation, the bathroom and the wiring.

"It's really spectacular," Costello said. "It's just amazing to watch it happen. It's a huge challenge and it's incredibly impressive"

Tello is the team's carpenter, D'Amelio is the electrician, Hogan is the mason and Stocker is the plumber.

Silver-medal winners included Jessica Fedorchuk in Basic Health Care Skills, Brittani Walsh in Commercial Baking, Josh Lothian in Electronics Applications, Steven Wamboldt in Graphic Communications, Tara Connell in Nurse Assisting, Robert Depiano in

Plumbing and Eric Alden in Masonry.

Bronze-medal performances went to one of Shawsheen Tech's February Seniors of the Month Kevin Tavares in Carpentry as well as Charlie Fowler in Commercial Baking, Mike Younkers in Electronics Technology, Liz Rufo in First Aid/CPR, James Bancroft in Masonry, Lucas Arnold in Sheet Metal, Brandee Bennett and Nicholas Martucci in Web Design and the foursome of Kevin Medeiros (plumber), Keith Quigley (mason), James Monsignore (electrician) and Michael Carlson (carpenter) in Team Works.

Tavares went to the national finals last year in carpentry.

Bagni's electrical department might have been the most successful of Shawsheen Tech's shops. Twelve students participated in the district competition with eight earning medals.

"We had some great success," Bagni said. "The kids are trying hard, studying and practic- ing. It's been a good thing for them and I think it's terrific because how hard you try is how well you do."

All of the individual medal winners and the winning Team Works combination will advance to the state finals on May 3 and 4 at Blackstone Valley Technical High School.

Newhall will also be cam- paigning to be one of seven elected state officers. Shawsheen Tech senior Lacey Leonard is (currently a state officer.

In all, 20,000 students participate in SkillsUSA throughout the state each year.

Tewksbury Public Schools publish mid-year progress report 2007-2008

L, McCrath. , EnD

Superintendent of Schools

Introduction We are pleased

I to share this mid-year report

of work in meeting the goals as outlined on the 2007-2012 strategy plan for the Tewksbury Public Schools. We are currently completing the first year of our work on these five-year goals and we are pleased to share our progress at the mid- year point of the 2007-2008 school year. The plan is orga- nized around four areas: curriculum and instruction, pro-

gram improvement and accountability. school resources and social responsibility. There are four core values and a mission statement that further guide our work.

The strongest emphasis of our work continues to be in the area of curriculum and instruction. We have established Data Teams at each of our schools. These teams are developing interim, formative and summative assessments to closely monitor the progress of our students. We are piloting a new reading program in grades 3 and 4 and a new science program in grades 5 through 8. In addition we are implementing the Response to Intervention

(RTI) program to support those students who are experi- encing academic difficulty.

Our work in the area of program improvement and accountability centers on our professional development program. We are working across the district to develop Professional Learning Communities. We have provided training for aU faculty members as well as administrative personnel. We have also revised some of our instructional time to support students in areas of weakness identified thought our Adequate Yearly Progress rating. We are working hard to prepare for the Coordinated Program Review.

Miceli, Finegold, and Murphy pleased with District's Local Aid numbers ■■'BOSTON- State Representative James R. Miceli (D-Wilmington), Chairman of the House Committee on Personnel and Administration, is pleased that his district is receiving a substantial amount of Local Aid Funding in the House FY09 Budget. The Local Aid Funding, passed four months prematurely before the start of the new fiscal year, will assist cities and towns with their individual budgets.

An increase of $223 million in state aid to cities and towns, a remarkable 4.43 percent higher than last year's budget, is the result of a five-year plan by the legislature to move individual school districts toward their target-aid contribution level. Miceli's district, which includes Tewksbury and Wilmington, was allotted significant amounts of funding for Chapter 70.

Tewksbury will collect $13,139,908 in Chapter 70 funding, an increase of $221,050 from last year's FY08 budget. Tewksbury will also obtain $3,004,066 in Lottery Funding. The "Hold Harmless Lottery Aid" amounts to $459,953.

Wilmington is receiving $9,957,492 in Chapter 70 funding and $1,595,997 in Lottery Aid. Through the Local Aid Formula, Wilmington is also receiving a .remarkable $1,254,452 in Additional Assistance Funding. An additional $244,363 is deemed as "Hold Harmless Lottery Aid." Wilmington has seen an increase in Chapter 70 funding for the second year in a row gaining $3,198,625 from the previous FY08 budget last year.

"I was pleased to ensure that both of my towns have received a sizeable upward

turn in funding since the previous budget. My towns have experienced an immense increase and have achieved great success with the Local Aid Formula," said Chairman Miceli. He continued, "These monies will have a positive impact on the lives of all of our citizens and in particular our students."

"Our top priority is to do everything we can to help Tewksbury fund its schools," said Finegold. "The most recent local aid numbers are a step in the right direction."

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank both the House and Senate Leadership for displaying their commitment to our local cities and towns. During these difficult fiscal times, it is important to remember our schools and local aid," stated Murphy.

Bride -to be- Kerry McNamara and her fiance' Henry Keating signed the guest list at the Holiday Inn Bridal Show held oil Thursday night in Tewksbury. They discussed options for thejr upcoming wedding with Caroline Nadeau from the Holiday Inn.

School Committee meets Paw Prints editors '"' FROM PAGE 1

Eighth Grade Assistant Editor Jessica Bernard told the Committee about the three different papers, seventh and ej&hth grade papers that are published in the Crier and a sixth grade in-house newspaper/magazine. Bernard also noted that the writers work in pairs and that students, not ddvisors, choose stories for the p"aper.

Seventh Grade Editor Jackie Parece said they anticipate putting out two more editions of the paper for the Crier this

Tyear. ; Seventh Grade Assistant .'Editor Will MacKinnon told ; everyone the future plans for 2 the Middle School newspapers. ; He explained that next year, ; each issue of Paw Prints will be • a single page in the Town Crier. ■ It will be located on the back jpage, and will therefore be in ! color. Eight graders will work Ion the Crier version of Paw ; Prints, and sixth and seventh ; graders will publish an in- ; school magazine.

; Sixth Grade students Chloe I Castellano and Bobby Brabant ■told the Committee about the • Midê School's in-school mag- ■ azine,' which has provided .'many lessons, such as delega- '. tion, teamwork, newspaper '. writing, etc. I Benton thanked the Crier and ; invited Bjork to say a few .•words. • "It's our pleasure to be ; involved in this," said Bjork. •"They do all the work. It's • amazing; the product that they ' hand in to us." I The quality of the material

brought to the Crier, Bjork explained, leaves little for the Crier staff to do aside from putting it onto the page He hopes that next year the students will learn about layout and be able to participate in that aspect of the process as well.

"The feedback has been over- whelming and entirely positive," said Bjork. "I don't know of any other newspaper anywhere that is doing anything like this, so we're very proud to be a part of it."

Schedule change for Middle School

Middle School Principal Christine McMenimen was on hand to congratulate the students on their efforts, and to speak to the Committee about the schedule change for the Middle School in the upcoming school year.

The proposed schedule is a Blue Day/White Day schedule that will increase instruction time in the core subjects by creating uniform 50-minute periods. It will also eliminate the 84-minute activity period and will include performance groups into the regular day schedule.

In her presentation to the Committee, McMenimen explained that this would allow all sixth graders to receive reading instruction and an opportunity for Exploratory French or Spanish. It will mean that students will participate in physical education throughout the year, and it will reduce class size in the core subjects in grade six. Students will have electives and can

choose their Unified Arts cours- es.

The new schedule allows flexible timing for teams to plan locker breaks only when their own specific routine would best utilize breaks. It adds as much as 17 hours of instructional time to the school year.

McMenimen will be presenting this schedule to the faculty in March and also to incoming parents at a meeting in May.

New Director of Administration and Finance named

On Benton's recommendation, the School Committee unanimously approved a motion to accept Peabody resident Paul Ruggiero as the new Director of Administration and Finance. In May Ruggiero will assume the role vacated by Kevin McHugh who left in February to become Business Manager for Lynn Public Schools. Paul Funk, who has been performing as acting director since that time, will stay on to mentor Ruggiero.

Ruggiero's experience includes more than nine years as Controller of Keyspan Home Energy Services, extensive finance and administration work with Boston Gas, degrees in finance and accounting, and full licensure as a Massachusetts School Business Administrator, all levels.

"I am truly looking forward to working closely with all of you as well as the administration and staff of the Wilmington Schools and the Town of Wilmington," Ruggiero told the School Committee.

"Experience Matters. The work Gwen put into achieving this goal confirms her commitment to her profession. With the assistance of a well trained real estate professional, homeowners facing foreclosure are often able to sell their home and save their credit rating. I am proud to have Gwen on our Executive Team."

like to see the district focus upon: The biggest thing facing us now is the schools - the facilities. We have to make sure the schools can handle the imple- mentation of technology and are in good working order.

What do you see as a priority in any new construction or renovation projects: I would have to see what the master planning study says when the report comes out.

The school-to-business model has been a priority in the dis-

trict. Briefly discuss the benefits as you see them and how might it be expanded or improved upon: It gives the kids in the district a real-time experience of what is needed to survive in the world today. You can only teach so much in books. Through programs like the job shadowing day they actually see what it can be like in the world. I would like to see the entire program expanded. It's working and it is a great model that gets tweaked each year to keep up with current

trends. I would like to get more kids and businesses involved and to provide more opportunities.

Comment: When I first joined two and a half years ago, one of the things we were working on was the Strategic Plan. Now the Superintendent and administration are following that plan to make the district what the people want. The Strategic Plan has to continue to change to keep up with changing times and I'm proud to be a part of that.

provide an environment where children can enjoy learning.

What do you see as a priority in any new construction or renovation projects: I have a lot to learn about the condition of all of the facilities, but I am looking forward to seeing the Master Planning report that will be presented at the end of the month.

The school-to-business model has been a priority in the district. Briefly discuss the benefits as you see them and how might it be expanded or improved upon: Being a business owner, I think it is a wonderful thing for adolescents to see even a small microcosm of what is out there. As a junior I had no idea what I wanted to do and this is a great opportunity for students. Any time kids can get any kind of learning through experience it can only enrich their school experience. I definitely have a lot to learn,

but I want to be part of the process; that is very important to me.

Comment: After speaking with Peggy Kane (current School Committee Chairman) and others I'm looking forward to joining an efficient group of

people who work for the best interest of the children and I think I'd make a great addition to that. I look forward to having my kids go through the Wilmington Public School system.

The jellybean scandal of 78 30-year old scandal haunts Town Crier's managing editor

The Ahern Family Foundation Bv LARZ F. NEILSON

WILMINGTON - It was 30 years ago — shortly after the blizzard of '78, that the great Jelly Bean Scam occurred.

The event was the annual Easter Egg Hunt, run by the Wilmington Recreation Dept., a photographer's dream shoot. Lots of little kids, running around, looking for Easter eggs. The cuteness factor is diminished, however, by the speed at which it occurs. Pick a kid, focus, frame the picture, wait for the right nanosecond and shoot, just as the kid turns away from the camera. By that time, all the other kids have moved about 20 feet away.

It works best to have two photographers working with the appropriate toys. Thus it was that my brother Stu and I were both at the Easter egg hunt in 1978 down at the Town Park. Easter Bunny Jo O'Neil and

her assistants scattered wrapped eggs all around the playing field. The whistle was blown. Kids were running everywhere, squealing in delight, trying to pick up as much candy as possible, before the other kids got it all.

Of course, some kids would end up with nothing but a goose-egg, zero candy. And for them, the Easter Bunny had plenty of jelly beans.

Mrs. O'Neil originated the Easter Bunny role ' in Wilmington. She was a tiny woman with a crackling voice, and was always volunteering for something. She and Larry Noel were named as Good Guys the same year, quite appropriate, he having been a great Santa.

All the kids had finished their hunt, and had retired to the bleachers or their parents company to enjoy their stash, and wait to see who won prizes.

It was then that things started to go bad.

I was walking back across the field when I saw it. There, off to my right was Stu, talking with the Easter Bunny. And they were both dipping into the bas-

ket of jelly beans, the very same beans that were supposed to be for the unlucky little ones!

I turned away from the scene of the crime, not that I couldn't bear to watch, but rather to focus the camera without tip- ping off the miscreants. I found someone about the same distance to my left. Then I turned 180 degrees and shot. •

Stu never realized I had taken the picture until he developed the film. There it was, in black

and white. Him with his hand in the basket, while the Easter Bunny popped a couple of beans in her mouth. ' Of course, the evidence was printed in the Town Crier.

A few months later, the magazine American Photographer asked for submissions for its assignment section. The theme was guilt. And the photo was a winner. The infamous photo of the jelly bean scam went nationwide.

more and more Wilmington residents reach out to attend the dinner and support veterans.

"There was a great presence from Wilmington there," said Lissa. Their goal for the 2008 St.

Patrick's Day Dinner Dance was to raise and donate $40,000 or more for military support organizations who provide direct support for troops. Lissa was pleased to announce that the event exceeded their expec- tations and raised approximately $50,000.

They presented awards this year to the Wilmington-based Local Heroes organization and others including Armed Forces Support Coalition, Veterans Homestead Corporation, Operation Homefront (Patriot Chapter), Pack It Up, and SOFAR (Strategic Outreach to Families of All Reservists). Local Heroes founder, and

Wilmington Veteran's Agent and Selectman, Louis Cimaglia is grateful for the financial assistance the Ahern Foundation has provided to Local Heroes and to Wilmington families. He said they not only provide an annual check at the dinner, but they also step up to help out when needed during the year. The AFCF provided tremen-

dous assistance to a Wilmington family exactly one year ago following the death of Pfc. John F. Landry, Jr. while serving his country in Iraq. The AFCF flew in relatives from out of state for Landry's funeral.

The Landry family attended the AFCF dinner this past weekend. According to Cimaglia, being in a room full of more than 500 pepple committed to supporting the troops on the weekend leading up to the first anniversary of their son's death was extremely ben- eficial to John, Sr. and Pamela Landry.

ting would apply only to the specified site. It would call for a completion of the permitting process within 180 days, though that timeframe may be extended by agreement of both parties.

Carole Hamilton, Wilmington Director of Planning & Conservation, explained that the article has been put forth as a result of the work that Tewksbury and Andover have also been doing. Approval of 43D Expedited Permitting would provide each town with the opportunity to receive up to $150,000 in funding from the State so they can continue with planning and zoning work on the site. The intention of the article is enable all three towns to go forward together with a unified development concept.

Hamilton fielded questions about environmental issues and the network of roads that would be created. She said that environmental studies must still be done to determine feasible uses for the land and that, by agreement of all three towns involved, the network of roads that would be built to utilize the land would not be linked to any local roads.

Former Selectman Suzanne Sullivan questioned whether this legislation would open the door for other properties to slide through on expedited permitting.

Town Counsel Paul DeRensis explained that each property that would apply for expedited status would have to come before town meeting and that everyone would have the same jurisdiction and substantive process they had before. The point of the statute, DeRensis opined, is to promote coordina- tion of efforts.

"It's very similar to what happens right now," Hamilton said. "There are still site plans and wetlands and special permits - everything we do now, just more efficiently."

Article 22 seeks to amend the town's Zoning Bylaw by adding a new subsection, 3.9, for Inclusionary Housing.

Hamilton explained that passage of the article would require any development of more than 12 residential units to provide an additional 10 percent in affordable units in order for the town to maintain the state mandated affordable housing levels. There are two clauses built into the article that would allow developers to either build the affordable homes on another site or make cash payment in lieu of building affordable units.

A letter read into the record by Sorrentino opposed this legislation, because the six signa- tories believe developments produced under this by-law would not be financially viable, and that the cash buyout would be unfair and ineffective for maintaining affordable housing numbers.

Resident Christine Woltag asked why the number would be set at 10 percent instead of the 15 percent called for in the Master Plan. Sorrentino replied, "It was a good place to start the dialogue."

Article 24, petitioned by resident Michael Bodnar. seeks to provide graduated Tax Relief to seniors age 65 and over at an initial rate of a 5 percent discount, and with an additional 5 percent for every five years over 65 a person may be.

Town Counsel DeRensis explained that the article attempts to address a matter that is not within its purview.

"Taxation is not a matter of local autonomy," said DeRensis. "It is a matter of state law and there is either a law to adopt or not - and there is not."

Bodnar explained that he thought this was a way to, "begin discussion and get this moving to the State level." He thought that if it was approved locally it would then prompt Town Officials to approach the State with the issue.

"I'm shut down," said Bodnar after the meeting. "I did not realize it had to be statewide." Bodnar was advised to take the issue up with the town's legisla- tive delegation.

Magical season comes to an end for hockey team

Division 2 State Finalist Bv MIKE IPPOLITO

. Sports Correspondent BOSTON - Coming so close

only made the ending hurt more, but you will not find one coach, parent, player or fan of the Wilmington High hockey team that has any regrets about the past few weeks of the state tournament or for that matter the entire magical season, despite the pain of the ending, which came on Sunday afternoon at the TD Banknorth Garden when the Wildcats lost a heartbreaking 1-0 decision to Sandwich in the Division 2 state championship game

Wildcats coach Steve Scanlon echoed the sentiments of all Wildcats followers after the game.

"We had a great year. It was just a thrill," Scanlon said. "Sometimes getting here is the most' fun. We had some thrilling wins this season and we accomplished something that had never been done in Wilmington by winning a sectional title. Hopefully we will take the next step someday."

The North champion Wildcats were victims of an earjy second period goal by the South champion Blue Knights, with sophomore Craig Brubaker beating the otherwise impenetrable Mike Cabral between the pads at the 4:28 mark of the period. They were also victims of Sandwich freshman goalie Pat Farrington, who made 22 saves to earn the shutout.

It was the Wildcats first trip to the state finals since 1964 when they suffered an 8-3 loss to Christopher Columbus High School at the old Boston Garden. In those days there was no North Sectional, and the Wildcats were playing for the Eastern Mass. crown.

It was the first ever state championship for a Sandwich team that finished their season with a record of 20-2-3, while the Wildcats, shut out for the first time this season, wrapped up their season at 17-3-4.

After being outplayed for much of the first period and in the early going of the second period, the Wildcats controlled play for much of the game after the Blue Knights took their lead. The Wildcats were out- shot 6-1 in the first period, not recording their first shot on

goal until under a minute remained in the period when Kevin Flanagan got off a long wrist shot, but they ended up outshooting Sandwich 22-21 for the game

"I thought we got off to a good start in the first five minutes of the game, but after that we did not generate anything on offense in the first period," Scanlon said. "But we came back and played much better as the game went on and we took it to them in the third."

And Wilmington certainly had their chances to tie the game late in the third period, with senior defenseman Max Wilkins having one of the best chances with 5:00 left in the game on a slap shot from the point, which Farrington did not see until the last second when he flashed out his left pad to thwart the bid.

Senior Eric Siegel, who was tremendous all game long had a great chance with about two minutes left, close in on Farringdon, but once again it was a quick pad save by the freshman that kept the Wildcats off the scoreboard.

Junior defensemen Timothy Parker had on opportunity for the Wildcats with about 45 sec- onds left and the extra attacker on the ice after Cabral had been pulled from the net, but Farrington was equal to the task, and the Wildcats were denied despite their best efforts.

Wilmington's numerous chances in the final minutes, and their territorial edge in play throughout the third period, would seem to fly directly in the face of the assessment of Sandwich coach Derackk Curtis, who for some reason was a little less than effusive in his praise for this gritty Wildcats team.

"I didn't know a thing about them, but they had that one solid line there," said Curtis. "That number 17 (Siegel) was a big guy. But they weren't as fast as us which was a nice thing, and I don't think they were in shape or as conditioned as us as well. I thought we wore them out and I thought they were a little slow in the third period."

The Wildcats most certainly did not look to be out of condi-

tion in the second period either after the Sandwich goal. Up until then, the Wildcats had appeared a little sluggish, as if they were afraid to make a mis- take, but after the goal they seemed to get a spark and controlled play for the rest of the period. Junior Sean Tavares had a

nice opportunity off a 2-on-l with a nice pass from Parker halfway through the period and Siegel had a great opportunity moments later with a great individual move in tight on Farrington and then another opportunity on the rebound.

After killing off two consecutive Sandwich power plays, the Wildcats went back to work with a power play chance of their own and leading scorer Ernie Mello had a couple of opportunities, the first of which came on a nice setup in front from Siegel, but once again the Wildcats were denied.

As good as Farrington was in net for the Blue Knights, the

Sandwich defense played an equally key role in keeping the Wildcats of the scoreboard.

"For a young kid, he did a real good job," Scanlon said of Farrington. "They are a good balanced team and their four defenseman are as good as you will find. They don't allow second or third opportunities. They do a good job of cleaning up and when there is a rebound the defense clears it out."

While Farrington played well for Sandwich, he could to com- pare to the job that Cabral did in net for the Wildcats. The senior netminder had been outstanding throughout the tournament, particularly in the sectional final win over Tewksbury when he made 41 saves, and he continued his hot play in the most important game of the year.

While the Wildcats controlled territorial play and had more chances for most of the second half of the game, the Blue Knights had the better opportu-

nities throughout the game. They may have only getting a few chances per period, but they were sparkling chances and Cabral had to come up huge to prevent the Wildcats from falling into a two or three goal hole

Late in the second period, it looked as if Sandwich was going to extend their lead with under a minute to go, but Cabral twice came up with big stops, one of them one a one on one opportunity in close. He had previously made a brilliant glove save with about seven minutes to go in the frame and Sandwich on a power play

In the third period, he stoned Brubaker, who was vying for his second goal of the game about five minutes into the period, and with 7:45 left in the contest he made the stop of the game on a glove save after a Sandwich steal at the blue line had led to another one on one opportunity.

"Mike has been solid for us all

season long," Scanlon said "He made some big saves or the game could have gotten away from us. He just did what he has done all year long and he kept us in the game"

While it must have been tough for the Wildcats to walk out ol the Garden on Sunday after sul- fering such a tough loss. Scanlon, in his 17th year as coach of the Wildcats, knows his team, particularly his seniors will one day be able to look back on this season for the tremendous success that it was

"The kids are disappointed. I tried to tell them that the sting will go away and they will realize all they accomplished this season," Scanlon said. "We've had our struggles over the last couple of years, where we did not even make the tournament, and these seniors fought through it and came out on the other side. It's a good way to go out if you are a senior."

The game's opening face-off was right here with Wilmington forwards, Eric Siegel (center), Michael Enwright (right wing) and Ernie Mello (left wing, #21) all within the Boston Bruins emblem during Sunday afternoon's Division 2 State Championship game played the TD BankNorth Garden. Sandwich defeated Wilmington, 1-0.

JP2C. TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 2008

Remembering this season with a smile

BJLJAMIEPQTE Sports Kditoi

BOSTON - One of the classiest kids to ever put on a Wildcat uniform of some kind, Ernie Mello fought off tears, but was able to put a smile on his face as he waved to the crowd. Standing with the 'C on his blue shirt, Mello gave thanks to the thousands of people who attended Sunday's Division 2 State Championship boys' hockey game played at the TD BankNorth Garden.

Mello and the rest of his teammates were able to dress in the same locker room and skate on the same ice surface as Zdeno Chara, PJ Axelsson and Phil Kessel, three of the stars of the current Boston Bruins club. And on Sunday, the entire team made sure they put forth the words "Wilmington Pride" with every shift they took on that prestigious ice surface.

Mello and company played fantastic. . Sure they started off a little slow generating offense, but clearly outplayed Sandwich in the second half of the game, especially throughout the third period. The effort was more than enough to win. The pride, the passion and the style of teamwork they displayed were more than enough to win. But tLe unlucky bounces, and not

being able to get the puck to the back of the net wasn't enough to pull out the win.

Sandwich celebrated with the state championship with the 1-0 win. The Wildcat played felt a sting rip right through their hearts when the final buzzer went off and they watched the Sandwich players celebrate at the far end of the ice The hurt will last for a long time When you give it everything you have and you don't get those results it hurts. It hurts real bad. And the Wildcat players were hurting then and I imagine are hurting right now.

There's something to be said about reaching a state championship game. You could get there and get completely blown away - and instead of skating off the ice with 'pride' you feel embarrassed thinking you didn't belong there. Hey back in 1995, Tewksbury trounced Whitman- Hanson, 9-1, to capture the Division 2 state championship. Losing by more than a touch- down I think is much tougher to swallow.

Wilmington proved on Sunday that they belonged at the Garden. They played with Sandwich throughout the 45 minutes, regardless if their coach said his team was faster, deeper and in better shape. Most of that is hogwash.

Back in December, head coach

Steve Scanlon gave his usual quote that he was "cautiously optimistic' about this year's team. After all, his program was coming off a losing season, posting just seven wins a year ago. The year before when the group of seniors were sopho- mores, they performed very well, taking the eventual Division 2 state champion Gloucester squad to overtime in the first round of the state tournament.

Last year the hockey program lacked that 'Wilmington Pride'. They did. This year was different. And what amazes me is how this team came back from adversity. The second game of the season they lost by a touch- down to Lynnfield, 8-2, and came back to go 13-0-2 over the team's next 15 games. The Wildcats ended up winning the Cape Ann League title before beating Danvers, Peabody and Tewksbury in the playoffs to capture the school's first ever Division 2 North sectional crown, all after taking a serious belt to the chin by Lynnfield

Throughout the 15-game unbeaten streak you saw so much happen. You saw Eric Siegel, who at times before, struggled in certain areas of the game truly become a legitimate force truly become the ultimate team player, and truly matured leaps and bounds, even over these last few games. You saw kids like Timmy Parker, Nick Robarge, Andrew Goosens, Brian Svensson and Jon Kincaid improve so much from the early days of December until Sunday. And the best example is one of my favorite players to watch, Kevin Flanagan. Last year he took a regular shift and didn't have a single goal or an assist. This year his offense improved

(JoeBrownphotos.com)^

greatly, but he became a physical force out on the ice and just became a solid all-around player.

You saw Michael Cabral become the ultimate competitor and goalie He truly showed off his skills throughout the entire team, but it was magnified more in the tournament.

You also saw the terrific coaching job by the two best buddies, head coach Steve Scanlon and his assistant Chip Bruce. During this school year, the two of them have led the soccer and ice hockey teams to league titles, the hockey team to the sectional title and state finalist trophy, and a combined record of 30-5-8, which is absolutely incredible. The two of them now have eight combined league titles and over 300 wins

in the two sports, nevermind a state championship carried over while coaching at Westford Academy.

It's clearly obvious that Scanlon and Bruce got the absolutely the most out of each and every player, got the absolutely most of the team, and were so instrumental in the improvement of the team, while keeping that strong chemistry, team unity and 'Wilmington Pride' flame going from the first day of tryouts until Sunday.

For me personally, yes I would have loved to seen a state championship. But like I said with the basketball team last week, it's just as much getting to the Big Dance. This 2007-'08 Wilmington High School boys hockey team accomplished something no other team has done since 1984 -

a year before the famous movie "Back to the Future' came outL It was a special moment watching Mello wave to the crowd with a smile on his face - perhaps in another 24 years when these kids are in their 40s, they can 'look back' knowing they backed up the words 'Wilmington Pride' giving everything they had, during one magical season they should never, ever, ever forget.

I would like to congratulate all of the players and coaches who were all apart of one of the two greatest seasons in Wilmington High School boys' hockey prd- gram history. I just hope you have that Ernie Mello smile on your face the next time someone congratulates you for being a part of Wilmington Pride History.

Ernie Mello scored big this season

•Someday Wilmington High School senior goalie Michael Cabral will be smiling when he thinks about what he and his teammates •accomplished this 2007-'08 hockey season.


By JAMIE POTE Sports Editor

BOSTON - Back in the late March 1984 issue of the Town Crier, then Wilmington High School boys hockey captain Dennis Moran was pictured with his helmet off, his hair messed up because of sweat, but holding the Division 2 State Championship runners-up trophy up high to the fans, celebrating the tremendous season the Wildcat hockey team enjoyed.

Twenty-four years later, Ernie Mello copied that same picture - he held the trophy up high, had a smile and waved the people who came to watch him play his final game in a Wildcat uniform as Wilmington was defeated by Sandwich, 1-0, at the TD BankNorth Garden on Sunday afternoon.

"It was awesome just getting out on the ice and having that experience," said Mello. "It was great. Obviously it would have been better if we won but we still had a great time. We had a great season and we have nothing to be ashamed of."

Mello's face was plastered on the huge scoreboard before the game. He delievered a message from the MIAA, while thanking the Boston Bruins organization for allowing the state championship games to be held in their arena. After the game, he shared tears, smiles and was back to being disappointed as he walked out from the locker room before heading to the bus.

"It didn't turn out the way we wanted it to but we played hard," said Mello. "We have nothing to be ashamed about. We had a really good season and

we went farther than we ever thought so there's no reason to be hanging our heads.''

More often than not a high school athlete loses his or her cool after being defeated in a big game. Mello did nothing of the sort. He was very professional, gracious and just showed that tremendous leadership that helped guide this team to its best finish in nearly a quarter of a century.

"Their defense was really good and they kept us away from getting rebounds," he said. "Of course their goalie played great having a shut out against us. They kept us off the board and they did a good job defensively. We had our chances, it just did- n't turn out the way we wanted it too."

Mello had enjoyed two athletic seasons since school restarted

back in September. In the fall he ..helped the football team fii ..with a.frXrecprd, while,L

bing lUl of the Cape, League title "As a I he finished with 1,725 yards I scored 29 touchdowns. He named the Cape Ann League Player of the Year and the Lowell Sun's Co-Player of the Year. He was named to the Boston Herald and Boston Globe All-Scholastic teams.

Now in the winter, he helped lead the hockey team to an overall record of 17-3-4, including winning the Cape Ann League title and guiding the team to its first Division 2 North sectio championship, as well Sunday's state champions! loss. He finished the season < 23 goals, which also featu scoring four in one game < this season.

TOWN CRIER - WEDNE8DAY, MARCH 19, 2006 8P7C

fifth at New England Regionals Bv LOUIE (TMACTJA Sports Corrspondeni .

This past Saturday, the Wilmington High School Cheerleading team placed fifth in the New England competition, held at Woburn High .School. The Sunday before that, rthe girls placed second in the Jjiate Competition, which was held at the University of Lowell's Costello Gymnasium.

■ The Lady Wildcats had to face M -other teams striving for gold from Division III. The toughest "competition hailed from Bartlett High School and East Bridgewater High School. They

r«.1

have both been state champions in recent years.

"We performed a near flawless routine, bettering our Regional Score by 23 points overall," said Coach Nancy Sullivan. "The girls really took the floor with confidence and went through their routine nail- ing each element with perfec- tion. Unfortunately for us, East Bridgewater too had a near flawless routine and having gone on after us the judges decided to place them in first."

Sullivan made it a point to show how important the experience was, and not so much the

result. " As disappointing as it was to

not repeat as State Champions, they really performed and proved how wonderful this season has been for all 22 girls involved. It was an honor to finish second in the state with such a great team"

The team practices three days a week. They spend over an hour working on tumbling and tumbling-related activities. They work on all of their stunt- ing, motion and dance routines as well. "We really work on per- fecting those things," said Sullivan.

To perfect those things, some girls need to sit out certain competitions to allow for other girls to use their specific abilities to their fullest. Sullivan mentioned their collective drive to win, and how they all are very hard working and dedicated. "It makes my job easier," she said."

"We need to pick the best 20 for the routine," said Sullivan. "I don't always pick the most talented girl, but the girl whose talent is best suited for the routine we are doing."

Sullivan said that the captains and other seniors were a big

reason for the team's success. "We have three captains,

Kay la Ward, Kim Ciampa and Katelyn Gallant. We have two other seniors, Jessi Crowley and Amy Sinclair. They really all work well together. It's like having five captains. They all do everything. There are bits and pieces of things that they are all good at. And they make my job a lot easier."

Sullivan had a great deal of hope for the future of Wilmington High School Cheering.

"The future of Wilmington High School cheerleading looks

to continue on the path of success," said Sullivan. "The cheerleaders that have passed through the doors at WHS have and always will be winners no matter what the outcome of the competitions are.

"They are some of the hardest working young ladies and always put their hearts and soles into their team, their per: formances and the sport of cheerleading." ■

Tewksbury Youth Football

The Board of Directors of Tewksbury Youth Football announces that Registration for the 2008 Season will take place on Saturday April 5th from 9

' am to Noon and on Tuesday, April 8 and Wednesday, April 9 from 6 - 8 PM at the Teen Center on Livingston Street. Junior Varsity and Varsity

Travel Teams will, once again, consist of all 13 and 14 years olds. These teams will compete in the Northeast Junior High Football League with towns from Billerica, Lowell, Andover, Derry, Londonderry, Merrimack, Nashua North, Nashua South, Manchester, Souhegan Valley, Goffstown, and new entrants from Lawrence and Bedford, NH. The League will be set up by Division based upon strength and/or size of the program with 7 teams in each Division.

Tewksbury Youth Football will continue to provide three "In Town" divisions consisting of a Junior Division that will be comprised of 7 and 8 year olds, the Intermediate Division will consist of 9 and 10 year old participants and the Senior Division will be limited to 11 and 12 year old players. Each participant in the

Varsity or Junior Varsity player or cheerleader will be required to complete a Medical Release form prior any traveling with the team or participating in away games. This form MUST be in the possession of the Head Coach at all games.

The age requirements to participate in the program are from 7 to 14. There is no weight limits for participation in the

program. The only restriction in weight is in the area of skill positions such as ball carrier, linebacker, ends, and defensive backs. The Age determination date is OCTOBER 1.

Once again, Tewksbury will continue to be associated with the American Youth Football. This organization is an international youth football organization established to promote the wholesome development of youth through their association with adult leaders in the* sport of American football. Rules and regulations are established to ensure that players play in an atmosphere of safety with a competitive balance between teams.

The AYF has three levels of play, from weight restrictions to an OPEN weight. Tewksbury will continue with the open weight philosophy.

The AYF's philosophy is to allow local member to govern themselves while remaining non-intrusive.

The Registration fees are established based upon the financial needs of the program and without the knowledge of any implied or rumored Town fees to the children of the Town of Tewksbury.

Registration Fees for the "In- Town" Divisions are $110 for football players, $85 for one Cheerleading participant. Two- participant family registration fee is $185; Two-cheerleader family participation fee is $170. Each Cheerleader over two is an additional $10 registration fee An additional registration fee of $25 for each player over two has been adopted this year to absorb the cost of recondi- tioning the equipment at the end of the year and to cover the player insurance costs.

The Varsity and Junior Varsity Travel Teams registration fee for football players is established at $150 per participant and the cheerleader participation is $125. Two-partici-

pant family maximum fee is $225. Families with more than two participants are required to play an additional $50 registration fee for each participant over two.

Due to the growth of the program and need to eliminate supplemental drafts, the LATE REGISTRATION period has been reduced to July 1 through July 15, 2007 with a late fee established at $150 per participant.

Registration Director, Dawn Cathcart, has announced that preprinted registration forms will be available for parents to sign in order to speed up the process. Also, all fees are due at registration and checks made payable to Tewksbury Youth Football.

The Board of Directors announced that there will be NO REGISTRATION accepted after July 15 and NO August registration. Tewksbury Youth Football requests all participants to register on time.

Recently, the Town Manager presented his proposed Town Budget to the Board of Selectmen for the upcoming fiscal year. As a result of this presentation and included in the budget, there is a proposal to institute Town Fees' in the Parks and Recreation Department that will impact all youth programs.

Consequently, we are extremely disappointment that we are forced to advise everyone that the Town's financial situation and potential user fees may impact the Registration Fees after the April Registration period is completed. In short, the Registration Fee to participate as a football player or cheerleading activities of Tewksbury Youth Football does NOT include any Town imposed "USER FEES". Parents are hereby given

notice that any and all Town imposed fees imposed upon the

participants cannot be absorbed by the Tewksbury Youth Football Program and must be passed onto participants and parents.

We regret this announcement and recognize the serious impact it will have on everyone and our program.

Last year's participants have each been sent a notification post card and school Registration Flyers announc- ing the Registration period will be distributed in the Tewksbury schools in April as a reminder of the registration dates.

Firefighter turned Actor North Reading's

Philip Hebert supports the

SCREEN By DOUG WOOD-BOYLE

He may not have been discovered at a drug store soda fountain, but North Reading resident and decorated former Maiden

Firefighter Philip Dorn Hebert is living a dream with a role in the upcoming film "The Lonely Maiden" that stands a very good chance of not seeing the cutting room floor.

"The cutting room gods have not been kind to me in the past," Hebert said.

However, this time he is pretty sure that his face and his lines will be on screen. The scene he is in is big enough to be listed as a supporting role and he is on screen with Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman and William H. Macy, as well as Marcia Gay Harden.

Another good sign is the letter he received from Director Peter Hewitt after the filming was completed. It stated, "...You did a great job being Mr. Needlebaum. It was thrilling to see your early auditions as Gerry and sense something special. It was so much fun to work with you to create an interesting, charming and fully

. rounded character. You held your own against two giants of cine- ma..."

This could truly be a big break for Hebert, who has been acting since his days at the former Lincoln Junior High School in Maiden. He has only-held a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) card for the past three years when he was awarded a role in the televisioas series "The Brotherhood that had nine lines, finally qualifying Hebert to join the actors union.

His saga on Maiden started in November when he tried out for a day actor's (extra) role and the director Peter Hewitt spotted him.

Hebert recalled, "(Hewitt) asked me to try out for the part of Needlebaum. I went to the Liberty Hotel in Boston to do a dry reading with Christopher Walken and Freeman."

The rest, as they say, "is history." By the time he returned to his North Reading home, the message light was on his answering machine and he was told he had the role.

There was still some drama to go through. Hebert noted that the start of the filming was put off by a couple of weeks and he heard that the casting company had been changed. However, the call finally came to show up the next day to start filming.

The Lonely Maiden is about three guards (Walken, Freeman and Macy) who work in different parts of an art museum. Each of the characters has their own favorite piece of art and Hebert plays their boss, the head of security.

Hebert has two big scenes and a small scene in the movie. He is pretty sure that he will make it to the screen because in one scene he has to tell the three guards that the museum director is tired of the type of art in the museum and is shipping it out to a European museum and replacing it with art from Denmark.

This sets up the plot of the movie and the three stars start to plot how they will steal their three favorite pieces to save them.

This is a big role for a Boston actor. A fact noted by a conversation Hebert said he had with Walken.

According to Hebert, Walken asked where he was from. When

As for his experience working in the "big time," Hebert enjoyed it immensely. He received kudos from Macy after the first day; Freeman gave him a big smile after the first scene and Walken shook his hand at the end of the day.

According to Hebert, working on the set with the three big stars was a lot of fun. There would be a lot of bantering back and forth and Hewitt would listen to what was being said and sometimes add it to the script.

Hebert noted that the three are not just big stars because of the money they make, but also because of their attitudes. He noted that there never seemed to be a situation, even during the ad lib sessions, that could throw the big stars for a loop or get them off their timing.

This was a big difference to another movie where Hebert had a small role. In that scene the "star" pushed him out of the way because he wanted to get a better shot on the camera.

Hebert also had a reality check while he was doing the Lonely

Maiden. On the set he had his own trailer, make-up person and meals were served to him.

On a break in the shooting schedule, Hebert took a walk-on par! in another movie. During that experience he was one of hundreds of extras who waited together in a crowded room and got a sandw3ich for lunch.

The former Maiden firefighter was known as "The Actor" while he was on the job. This was due to bit parts he played in the Boston based "Spencer for Hire" television series.

However, after that show ended its run, movie and television roles became rare as production of those venues all but dried up.

During the dry spell, Hebert kept his acting homed by taking parts in two independent movies and in several television com mercials (New Pro windows and Fox 25 Sports among others About the same time he became eligible for his SAG card, the Legislature relaxed some of the tax rules in Massachusetts and

"DOOMSDAY" GRADE: *•

There are so many movies these days that deal withthe apocalypse, it has almost become an every-other-day occurence

This time around writer and director Neil Marshall has brought us Doomsday, which looks and feels a lot like "The Road Warrior: ' Scotland Edition.'

Rhona Mitra stars as Eden Sinclair, a tough soldier girl in England in 2035 who has been given an impossible mission (her favorite kind). Three decades ago, a deadly virus swept through Scotland, deci- mating the population and scar- ing the English government enough that they decided to wall off the entire northern part of the island. Although this solved the problem in the short term, the disease inevitably returns, this time in heavily populated London.

Having recently learned that there are still survivors living behind the wall, the government assumes that a cure must have been discovered, perhaps by the mysterious Dr. Kane (Malcolm McDowell). Eden and a squad of soldiers are sent into the long-abandoned hot zone to find this vaccine before the virus turns London into a ghost town.

'Doomsday' is sloppy and silly, but if you walk in not expecting much, it's very entertaining. There's lots of explo- sions, bloodshed and hot gals

and guys dressed in post-apoca- lyptic leather fashions. Mitra's tongue-in-cheek performance sets the tone for the film.

"10,000 BC" GRADE: ••

"10,000 RC." is a movie of extinct animals and even more out-of-date thinking.

If you believe the movie, sophisticated ships and velvet were invented long before we previously thought. Maybe toothbrushes as well, because everyone's teeth are gleaming in the sun.

"10,000 B.C." was obviously created with Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" in mind, but it lacks the narrative drive and suspense of that film. What we're left with is impressive, special-effects action sequences mingled with too many inert dialogue scenes (the film's pre- historic characters speak a lan- guage that could be called Almost English).

If you saw "Apocalypto," you'll recognize the basics of the story: At the beginning, one tribe swoops in on another, taking a bunch of hostages and slaughtering others. The rest of the movie is one noble warrior's quest to save his people and get back to the kidnapped woman he loves. There may be a love story in here somewhere, but the movie never bothers to establish that hero, D'Leh (Steven Strait), and blue-eyed cavewoman Evolet (Camilla Belle) are looking to make fire with each other

The mammoths look great, as do the gigantic, tree-climb- ing dodo bird/ostrich things. Toward the end, there are some battle scenes - in an ancient city dotted with enormous pyra- mid - that achieve a scale and grandeur few movies attempt these days. Movies to S-7

First Parish hosts 37th annual antiques & collectibles show

The First Parish Congregational Church of Wakefleld has announcetTthat planning is now underway for the 37th Annual Antiques and Collectibles Show.

The Antiques Committee has been busy recruiting new dealers year-round at some of the best shows and exhibits in the area. New dealers are always welcome and should send an e-mail to fpccan- [email protected] or call 781-883-3624.

The show typically hosts about thirty dealers who are known to have an eclectic

: blend of merchandise with a good balance of quality and value

Whether you are a serious collector or a novice who's just browsing, chances are that you'll find something that you cannot .live without. Shoppers will find many quality items including pottery, linens, depression glass, toys, porcelain, furniture, silver jewelry, collectibles and decorative items for the collector and gift giver.

. Hosting a two-day show allows for more time to shop. The event will even include a special event with Kaminski Auctioneers. Shoppers will have an opportunity to bring in items that they have always wanted to have professionally appraised.

Kaminski Auctioneers will be on-hand to appraise the collectibles in a manner similar to PBS's Antiques Road Show. Visitors are encouraged to stop by and listen to these educated and interesting experts during the appraisal process.

For those who would like to have an item appraised,

Reading. "'We expect the excellent

demographics, location and highly-regarded retail neighbors to be a boost to the 128 Reading Retail Center,' notes George Danis, President and CEO of Danis Properties, who says that prospective retail tenants focused on female shoppers who they hope will be attracted to the area.

"Danis Properties will consider adding shops to the Center that sell women's wear and apparel, accessories, lingerie shoes, cos- metics and jewelry.

"The Center is also well- suited for growth by way of a department store, or retailers that offer sports and athletic equipment, bridal and formal wear, electronics, furniture, housewares, or arts and crafts.

"Significant progress and improvements have been made to the entrance of the site over the previous year, and Danis Properties has worked closely with Reading town officials to significantly improve the site.

"A fresh facelift to the property has been completed, together with a new storm water drainage system and new landscaping.

"More than 50 new trees, over 800 shrubs and bushes throughout the parking lot have been planted, to accom- pany the paving of the lot and the re-facing of the building.

"The 128 Reading Retail Center encompasses more than 20 acres of land with a one-story retail building of over 250,000 square feet of retail space. This property is

situated just off Walkers Brook Drive just 400 yards from the Route 128/1-95 interchange.

•"The Center features a paved, well-lit parking lot for over 850 vehicles.

"Nearby retail mega-tenants at the Crossing at Walkers Brook are Jordan's Furniture, I MAX Theater, and Fuddruckers in their landmark Route 128 building, plus Home Depot. Other immediate neighbors include Staples, Linens N Things, The Paper Store, Bear Rock Cafe, Starbucks, Romano's

' movie and television production companies started to eye the Commonwealth for more location shooting.

J> , As a firefighter, Hebert also '•distinguished himself. During '-His 25 years on the force he ' 'earned three commendations

He also honed his writing ^skills. Hebert is the author of Jwo self-published books, •."Flames" (Down and Dirty fress 1988) and "Prophet of 'Fire" (Down and Dirty Press 3993). "k Flames is a good read done 3n a primitive fashion.

let him read the stories he had written. TTiis could have been the start of his acting career.

He remembered being 15 years old at the former Lincoln Junior High School in Maiden's Suffolk Square section. He was walking down a hallway and heard some conversation going on behind a door.

Being the curious sort, Hebert opened the door and gazed on what he was to learn were the auditions for a school play. The drama coach saw him watching and invited him to try his skill.

He ended up getting a part that was to go to a friend of his.

Hebert recalled the drama coach saying to him, "When you were looking in that door, you had a look on your face that said 'I can do it better.'"

The acting bug kept in him during his college days at Bunker Hill Community College. He has earned two Associate Degrees (Hotel and Restaurant Management and Fire Sciences).

Hebert plans to keep on acting and has received calls for more auditions. His preference is the big screen as opposed to television as it gives him more time to develop a role.

All 'Rapt'ed up (Wilmington)

"Safety is a top priority in the Wilmington School District and there are two additional layers of security that have been unveiled in the district,'' notes the "Wilmington Town Crier."

"First, a federal grant secured for the high school by the Wilmington Police Department funded a device to be placed inside of the front doors of the high school that provides an added level of security for students and staff. The second additional layer of security is the acti- vation of the security cameras that are in place on the school buses.

"During February, Wilmington High School deployed the V-Soft Raptor Visitor Management System (commonly called Raptor). Raptor is capable of replacing many paper-based logs. It allows schools and facilities to produce visitor badges, monitor volunteer hours, and electronically check all visitors against registered sexual offender databases.

"'It is our responsibility to provide safe and secure sites for the well being of our students and staff,' said Superintendent Joanne Benton. 'I see this as another way of protecting our staff and students."

"Raptor embraces school security by reading visitor drivers' licenses, comparing information to a sex offender database, alerting school administrators if a match is found, then - assuming no match was made - printing a visitor badge that includes a photo, name, time and date.

"Drivers' license information is compared to a database that consists of registered sex offenders from 48 states. If a match is found, school administrators and law enforcement personnel will take appropriate steps to keep the students and staff safe. The visitor would be dis- creetly notified of the situation and would only be permitted to enter the building if they have a designated escort with them at all times...."

Changing of the guard... ians (Woburn)

"School Committee veteran Joseph Crowley was unanimously voted in as the education board's newest chairman during an organizational meeting," notes the Woburn edition of the "Daily Times Chronicle."

"Crowley, who replaces outgoing chair Michael Mulrenan in the leadership post, later described three challenges facing the School Committee in the year ahead.

"According to the Middle Street resident, who has previously served as chairman

10 times during his 34 years in office, he believes that both school officials and district employees need to work more cooperatively to break an impasse in contract nego- tiations.

"The School Committee member, long a staunch advocate for rebuilding the district's aging elementary facilities in order to achieve parity across the city, would later cite the construction of a new Goodyear School as another looming issue in the year ahead.

"'We must try to reach agreement with all of our employee unions as soon as possible,' Crowley said. 'But experience tells me this won't happen until both sides sit down face to face, get realistic, put aside all other considerations, and devote total energy toward reaching a settlement that is fair and reasonable'

"'I hope that 2008 will be the year that we finally secure state funding to replace the obsolete and deteriorating Goodyear School and to give the children of East Woburn the modern state-of-the-art facility they need and deserve' the new chairman continued.

"As the city strives to- obtain state funding for a new Goodyear School, local officials must also meet their commitments to maintain the new buildings and grounds that have already been constructed, Crowley furthered.

"According to the new chairman, the condition of the landscaping at the new WMHS, arguably the crown jewel of the city's new school projects, must be improved from its current deplorable state.

"'We must do whatever is necessary to keep the grounds in the same top condition as the interior (of the building) so that taxpayers who drive along Montvale Avenue can be reassured that we are taking good care of their huge Investment in our school system,' Crowley concluded

"Before the ceremonial passing of the gavel to his counterpart, Mulrenan

reflected on his brief stint i \ chairman and thankeo School Committee membeijs for their support over the past year...."

Looking way ahead (Stoneham)

"Assistant Superintendent Ann Patriquin presented the Stoneham Public Schools professional development strategic plan to the School Committee," notes the "Stoneham Independent." §

"The plan seeks to improve design and delivery of programs and activities tb enhance student learning. Based on the school district's strategic, plan, the professional development plan covers the next three ft) five years and addresses tte need for a formal, comprehensive plan for staff development to improve teaching and learning. H

"'Professional development is key if we are going to impact student learning' Patriquin said, adding that professional development must also be in line with the district's overall mission and the Stoneham Public Schools strategic plan. -q

"'We were adamant that the district's mission wa$ critical to develop the mission for the strategic professional development plan- The district's mission is the overarching one. We wanted to be in line and consistenjt with that,' Patriquin said »

"The mission of the professional development strategic plan is to provide all staff with quality learning opportunities that support student learning and foster teaching excellence. To achieve this, professionall development opportunities will focus on five key areas: curriculum, instruction, assessment, school culture and technology. /.

Mortgages the Community Bank Way

We in the banking industry know very well that the subprime mortgage crisis is real. But here at Reading

Co-operative Bank, we never offered subprime mortgages, so we were not financially impacted like so many

big regional and national banks. As a result, there has been no slow down or restriction on our ability to

loan, and we even welcome jumbo loans. Reading Co-operative Bank has always offered straightforward

mortgage options, and we continue to offer them today to any qualified borrower interested in buying or

refinancing a home in our community.

At Reading Co-operative Bank, our loan officers don't earn a commission when they close a mortgage deal.

They're looking to help you finance or refinance your home with a mortgage you can afford. After all, isn't

that what a knowledgeable advisor should do.' Another important difference is that we don't sell our mortgages

to Wall Street. Instead", Reading Co-operative Bank does it the Community Bank Way—we lend our own

money, and we keep every mortgage right here on our own books. We're in it for the long term.

Before there were large corporate banks, Americans banked in their community with bankers they knew

at an institution they trusted. That's the way we've done business since 1886. And those days are still alive

and well here at Reading Co-operative Bank. Come in and talk to us if you have questions about your current

financial situation or if you're interested in finding the best mortgage for you. Our door is always open.

Yours truly, .^^

Parking solved? Stoneham

"Town officials expect to institute a comprehensive parking program next spring in the Stoneham Square area that includes a $300 fee for businesses to lease spaces in municipal lots," notes the "Stoneham Independent."

"According to a draft copy of the regulations, proposed to become effective on April 1, local merchants and their employees will be able to purchase a parking permit from Town Clerk John Hanright's

office that grants the right to use designated spaces in surrounding municipal lots.

"Once the program becomes effective, police will begin ticketing cars illegally parked in municipal lots with designated parking permit parking from Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

"That police activity will be in conjunction with continued enforcement of a blanket two-hour parking restriction along Main Street.

"The permits, which will cost $300 per year or $100 quarterly, will be offered to local residents, business owners and their workers, and those employed by the Town of Stoneham.

"A discounted $150 permit per year, or $50 quarterly, will also be offered for those seeking to use a spot at the Recreation Park municipal lot...."

"Traficante said he has been involved in the restaurant and entertainment business for over 27 years. He plans to make significant changes to the style of the restaurant and its menu, reverting back to a seafood restaurant which he feels is a more effective utilization of this location.

"The new owner's last business venture was Dillon's Restaurant, a 300-seat seasonal restaurant in Hampton, NH, with a bar capacity of 500, which he sold to developers. Traficante said he is hiring a completely new staff which will take four to six weeks to put together. He plans to open slowly, serving dinner only, then adding lunch.

"Traficante was pleased The Ship name was not being used anywhere in Massachusetts and was available. 'I hope to bring it back as a landmark,' he told the Selectmen."

Movies from S-2

""SEMI-PRO" GRADE:*** In the hierarchy of Will

Ferrell's sports-comedy movies, the basketball-themed "Semi- Pro" should be considered a runner-up, just behind leading "Talladega Nights" but ahead of "Kicking and Screaming" and "Blades of Glory."

It's set in the American Basketball Association in the '70s. Ferrell, his hair teased into a gigantic afro, plays Jackie Moon, a player/coach who tries to save his team from extinction by resorting to desperate mea- sures: live bear wrestling, cash giveaways, nudity.

Like Ferrell's other sports comedies, "Semi-Pro" is funniest when it's most on-target. Rob Corddry is hilarious, for instance, because his character, a jock-sniffing fan who's OK with his wife making out with his favorite athlete, takes his fan- dom only slightly further than your average obsessive might.

The ABA is a good target for satire because it really was pretty crazy — it's where the NBA got the three-point shot. And although "Semi-Pro" is always

more about comedy than sports, the film's basketball action is convincing (Andre Benjamin, who appears as a player, clearly has dribbling skills).

About an hour in, its pre- dictability starts to catch up with "Semi-Pro", but there are a couple of surprises near the end. And the filmmakers' use of some excellent mid-'70s soul music — the Brothers Johnson, Curtis Mayfield, Sly & the Family Stone — helps the movie glide over its rough patches.

Mortgage moves home buyers can make

Given the recent changes in the mortgage and housing markets, many current and potential homeowners are asking themselves the question of what to do next in re- gard to their home financing situation.

Whether you are looking to purchase your first home or are already a homeowner and want to maximize your investment, there are a number of home financing options to consider. GMAC Mortgage offers the following tips to make your next mortgage move.

• First Time Homebuyers: The biggest concerns for first-time home buyers right now involves the fluctuating interest rates as well as home values. However, buying a home with a fixed rate loan now will ensure that fu-

ture rises in interest rates will not impact your monthly payment.

In addition, due to the current housing market conditions, many first-time homebuyers have a large inventory of homes from which to choose. Prices in many markets have stabi- lized or' moved off their highs over the past year as demand has softened, so those dollars could go further now than in the past.

If you decide to move forward with the search for your first home, consider getting pre-approved for a mortgage. Becoming pre-approved will give you a much better idea of your buying power as well as reassure home sellers that you're a serious buyer.
