Counsel signs contract with town 60-day clause

included to protect

both sides

Bv STEPHEN B.IORK WILMINGTON - The Board

of Selectmen has reappointed Paul DeRensis, of the firm Deutsch, Williams, Brooks, DeRensis & Holland, P.C. (DWBDH), as Town Counsel for Fiscal Year 2005.

The appointment, which occurred at the board's meet- ing on Monday, May 24, is the culmination of several talks during the last couple of weeks, during which selectmen met publicly and in executive ses- sions to draft a contract suit- able to both parties. The board had previously voted unani- mously to adopt a monetary cap of some kind for legal fees, but was unable to achieve such a goal due to a number of unknown variables as well as potentially explosive environ- mental matters.

"The town has significant legal issues before it and I'm glad that I will have the oppor- tunity to continue working on them," DeRensis said after the reappointment. "Olin and Maple Meadow are huge issues and it is difficult to find a way to include the unknown into a contract."

In the absence of a monetary cap, the board voted to include a 60-day exit from the contract. Upon written notification, either the town or DeRensis has the ability to dissolve the con- tract in no less than 60 days.

The 60-day clause offers pro- tection to the town should monthly billings get out of

Chief Spencer sworn in BY SHAWN P. SULLIVAN WILMINGTON - According to

Wilmington Police Chief Robert Spencer, you never know who's watching you and you never can tell how you're affecting somebody, so it's always impor- tant to be a role model, partic- ularly for children. If you follow this code,

Spencer believes, you may very well be surprised by its impact someday.

"You could meet somebody 15 or 20 years from now, and they'll remind you that you once took the time to stop, lis- ten and give them advice, even though it may have only taken ten minutes of your time," Spencer says. "You'll realize that you made a difference in that person's life. You never know how you're going to affect somebody."

Spencer's philosophy is based

on experience. When he was a kid, growing up in Woburn in the fifties, he especially admired Patrolman Leo McElhiney, who connected with youths on many levels, particu- larly when it came to local organized sports. Spencer fondly recalls that McElhiney used to see him and his friends on their way out of The Strand some nights and offer to walk them home, checking the locks on nearby homes and business- es along the way.

"That was my first glimpse," says Spencer, a graduate of the Class of '59 at Woburn High School, referring to his intro- duction to law enforcement. "He was out there, doing things with the kids. He was a real nice guy, open and outgoing. I got a sense that his was a nice job to have"

In time, McElhiney would

ascend through the ranks of the Woburn Police Department and become its chief until he retired in 1986.

Also in time, Spencer would grow up, ascend through the ranks of the Wilmington Police Department, and become its chief.

On Wednesday, May 26, 2004, Spencer was officially sworn in as the Chief of the Wilmington Police Department in a cere- mony at the town hall. Spencer succeeded Chief Bernard Nally,

WILMINGTON Dorothy's Church spared from the block.

On Tuesday, May 25, Archbishop Sean O'Malley announced that the Boston Archdiocese will lose 65 of its 357 parishes as the result of a sweeping restructuring. St. Dorothy's Church, located on Main Street in Wilmington, was one of the parishes placed on notice for possible closure.

Father Kevin Horrigan received the good news on Tuesday morning, when FedEx delivered to St. Dorothy's Church the notice that his parish would not be closed down. The church is attended by hundreds of parishioners from Wilmington and Tewksbury.

Father Horrigan was not available for comment on Tuesday afternoon, but his sec- retary, Estelle Fugere, was able to easily sum up the mood of those who call St. Dorothy's Church their home.

"We're all delighted," Fugere said.

According to Bishop O'Malley, the churches will be closed for several reasons. Changes in the population, the shift of peo- ple from cities to suburbs, and the decrease in the number of Catholics who attend Mass have all contributed to the need to downsize.

During Tuesday's address, Bishop O'Malley noted that more than one-third of the parishes in the Boston Archdiocese are operating in the red and many churches and their related buildings are dete-

riorating. As a result of such developments, O'Malley stated that to not take action would mean that the region would proceed along a slow, continual decline, in which parishes, schools and outreach prog] ams would, one by one. tall by the wayside because t he Archdiocese would be unable to subsidize them and meet pen- sion and medical fund obliga- tions of employees

"This we cannot allow to hap- pen," O'Malley said

According to O'Malley. the parish closings are in "no way" 'connected to the need to pay lor the Church's legal settlements with victims who were sexually abased by priests. O'Malley says that the $90 million sale ol the former archbishop's resi dences in Brighton have taken care of that amount

"No money from the future sale of parish assets will be used to pay for the settlement." O'Malley stated. "What these funds will do is allow us to financially support as needed the parishes and schools that do remain in the archdiocese "

St. Dorothy's Church is one ol three Catholic ones in the immediate area. Neither Si William's Church in Tewksbury nor St. Thomas's Church in Wilmington were facing prospects of closure.

St. Joseph's Church in nearby Woburn, however, was not as fortunate, for it will close as u result of Tuesday's announce ment.

"I am profoundly aware of the emotion the announcement ol the closing of a parish evokes. O'Malley said. "It means the

Warrant obtained to probe Maple Meadow Landfill

Memorial Day events will focus on D-Day anniversary

BY SHAWN P. SULLIVAN WILMINGTON - There's a

poem, written by an American serviceman, that contains the passage, "The night was dark, but who would think / my plane would roll into the drink / Without delay the plane did sink, and soon the carrier ship was indistinct / In my mind, there came in sight, my girl's face, like a shining light..."

Memorial Day, which this year is Monday, May 31, is a time to remember American servicemen and women who are no longer with us. The occasion pays tribute to those who gave their lives on the bat-

tlefield and those who survived such scenarios but have since left us behind.

The poem cited above was written by a Wilmington man, Ensign Ronald Eaton of the United States Navy, shortly before his death in the Korean War in June of 1952. It will be recited by Eaton's niece,

Beverly Dalton, during the ded- ication of the monument in his memory at the Wilmington Town Common at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 30. Dalton will be joined by her mother, Joyce Dalton, who is Eaton's sister, and other members of their family.

Bv STEPHEN BJORK WILMINGTON - The Town of

Wilmington sought and obtained an Administrative Search Warrant for the Maple Meadow Landfill site to investi- gate allegations of violations of the Wetlands Protection Act and Wilmington Bylaws.

Massachusetts Environmen- tal Associates (MEA), the firm contracted by the land owner to close the landfill, and the Town of Wilmington have been at odds for several months regard- ing the amount of soil and the quality of soil imported to the site.

Town officials were escorted onto the property by Wilmington police at approxi- mately 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 25 to execute the warrant. According to the warrant, the officials were permitted to observe, photograph, and videotape conditions of the property, including soils, topog- raphy, soil stabilization and erosion control devices. The warrant also authorized the town to inspect and remove 5 soil samples and to measure the height of the landforms.

Pat Harmon, the President of MEA, says that he has nothing

to hide and that town officials are welcome to inspect the site He alleges that the affidavit used to obtain the search war- rant contained erroneous infor- mation from secondhand sources.

"There is absolutely nothing wrong out there," Harmon said. "They didn't do their due dili- gence. Due diligence is a won- derful thing. We spend our lives doing due diligence."

Robert Douglas, Wilmington's Assistant Director of Planning & Conservation, swore out the affidavit. According to Douglas.

Bv STACEY E. STEVENS WILMINGTON - An ancient

proverb reminds us that "out of crisis arises opportunity."

This adage sums up the situa- tion as interested residents share their hopes and concerns about the future of the Wilmington Memorial Library.

The library's staff and Board of Trustees recently hosted three public forums in which residents were invited to speak about issues regarding the future of the library and its ser- vices. The forums, which were held at the library on May 3,12 and 16, were moderately attended by a cross-section of approximately 30 area resi- dents, including parer s, senior

citizens, and college students. The forums were conducted using the S.W.O.T. approach, a discussion technique wherein the Strengths and Weaknesses of Opportunities and Threats posed by the library as it cur- rently exists were examined by participants in detailed brain- storming sessions facilitated by library trustees.

In accordance with the regu- lations set by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, the Board of Trustees is required to develop a long-range action plan every five years in addi- tion to an annual action plan.

The filing of these plans is a

TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY. MAY 26, 2004

Selectmen declare June 13 Justin A. O'Neil Day

By STEPHEN BJORK WILMINGTON- June 13 has

been declared Justin O'Neil Day to honor the Wilmington teenager who passed away unexpectedly from a brain aneurysm in January.

The Board of Selectmen made the declaration during its meet- ing on Monday, May 24, after Justin's family and friends requested permission to hold a fundraising road race in Justin's name on Sunday, June 13. All proceeds from the event will go towards the town's pro- posed skate park, which will be named in Justin's honor.

Skateboarding was described at Monday's meeting as one of Justin's passions, according to family friend Sharon Hanson, who offered details of the pro- posed race to the board.

"We are not looking for any kind of certified race, but rather a community road race/walk," Hanson told select- men.

The 3-mile course will begin at the tennis courts at Wilmington High School, head north, take a right down Wildwood Street, a left onto Woburn Street, another left onto Federal Street and a final left onto Middlesex Avenue. The race will finish back at the tennis courts.

Rain or shine, the start of the race is slated for 1:15 p.m. with registration beginning at 12:30. There will be a $15 registration fee and sponsor sheets, while not required, will be made available for anyone who is interested. No registration fee is required of children 12 years of age or younger.

Plans are in the works for refreshments to be available at the event on the Town Common; Hanson would welcome input from any of the local organiza- tions that would like to become involved.

The road race is only the ini- tial fundraising event planned by Justin's family and friends. Hanson also detailed plans for a can drive and a straight pledge drive for the near future

The town has set up a fund to accept donations in Justin's memory. Donations may be made out to the Justin A. O'Neil Memorial Skate Park Fund and sent to the Town of

Wilmington. "Our goal is to raise $50,000,"

Hanson said. "It is an aggres- sive goal, but one that we are hopeful can be accomplished."

According to Town Manager Michael Caira, Hanson hand- delivered a check to the Wilmington Town Hall in the amount of $500 to establish the fund.

adjacent to the existing roller hockey area, which itself is adjacent to the tennis courts and basketball court at the school. The skate park will like- wise be paved and surrounded by chain link fencing.

Selectmen Chairman Michael McCoy took the opportunity to pledge $500 on behalf of his restaurant. Selectman Raymond Lepore matched the donation on behalf of his busi- ness.

Wilmington has had plans for a skate park for several years and, after analyzing various town-owned properties, identi- fied the Shawsheen School as the mast suitable.- site. Information and expertise were sought from a number of experts in the field. Skate parks of surrounding communi- ties were examined during the

free-standing grind rails, have already been ordered and will provide a challenging environ- ment for skating novices and experts alike. According to Caira, the park's design will accommodate the addition of new equipment as well as new technology.

"We are hopeful that the funds raised in Justin's memory will supplement those dollars set aside as a result of a prior town appropriation and the $50,000 donation from Milton Heffron, enabling the town to construct a top-notch park," said Caira.

TAX ISSUES WHEN YOU RETIRE

When you tote up your reliremeni income, see how much you'll have after taxes. Some types of income are better than others.

Money from pensions and retire- ment plans are taxable at ordinary- income rates. Those bom before 1936 taking lump-sum distributions from a qualified retirement plan can utilize "10-year averaging" to reduce taxes. Also, some states offer special treat- ment for this income, exempting cer- tain amounts from tax. for instance.

Social Security benefits may be tax- free or. depending on other income. 5(1 or 85 percent taxable at ordinary- income rates. Still working at full- benefits age? You can earn as much as you want without losing benefits Younger, you'll lose $1 of benefits for every dollar earned

Distributions from Roth IRAs are tax-free, as long as you are over 59 1/2. Annuity payouts are partially tax- free (as return of investment) and par- tially taxable (income).

Still plenty of tax questions when you retire. And we've got the answers you need at:

WILMINGTON - On Monday, the Wilmington Board of Selectmen revisited the issue of the air quality at the North Intermediate School. During the board's last meeting, a mother alleged that her child had exhibited symptoms of an illness that her doctor believed was the Sick School Syndrome. The mother and other parents and town officials met last week to examine a recent study of the Bureau of Environmental Health Assessment (BEHA).

At the meeting, Caira was asked for the status of the remediation efforts following the BEHA's second visit to the school.

According to Caira, the rec- ommendatipns from the BEHA are being followed, including, but not limited to, the replace- ment of all water-stained ceil- ing tiles, the repair of a gap between the floor and the wall in one of the classrooms, the accelerated trimming of shrubs nearby the air intake ductwork, and the installation of charcoal filters in the ventilation system.

The town has also hired a spe- cialist to re-balance the ventila-

tion system and has contracted a private firm to conduct fol- low-up air quality testing. Additionally, Superintendent of Schools William McAlduff is working with the physicians of one of the students exhibiting symptoms.

The town has also acquired a new piece of testing equipment available to residents wishing to test air quality.

Theresa Beck, Tracey Arsenault, and Gretchen Fielding, three mothers of chil- dren exhibiting symptoms of the Sick School Syndrome, all expressed thanks to the board and Caira for last week's meet- ing, which all described as pro- ductive. The three residents, however, pressed for diligent follow-up and further investiga- tion.

Selectman Lepore was curious as to why the parents had not gone directly to the Board of Health, but, according to the three mothers in attendance, they had no one to advise them of such a course of action.

"We didn't know where to go," Beck said. "We went to the prin- cipal and the school nurse and they didn't help us."

From the Editor's Desk By Shawn P. Sullivan

The Gift Earlier this week, a caller contacted radio talk show host

Jay Severin and discussed with him the American casualties in Iraq. At one point during the conversation, the caller made a crucial distinction about something that prompted Severin to emphatically agree with him. The caller noted that American servicemen and women do

not "lose" their lives when they perish during battles and wars. They "give" them.

As Memorial Day approaches, such a distinction should ring clearly in the hearts and minds of all Americans. When American men and women enlist in the military, they

;ire presenting a gift to the people of the United States. If they die on duty, the gift grows ever more poignant, for it is one that they will never see blossom into continued liberty for their fellow countrymen. This year, we are focused on the 60th anniversary of the

invasion on the beaches at Normandy during the second world war. We are told that veterans of World War II are dying by a thousand each day, that soon there will not be one man standing who personally feels the victory of June 6,1944 but remembers the horrors of that day. Those men are the sons of those who fought and died before

I hem in each and every war that preceded the Great One. They are the fathers of the 58,000 who took with them the scarring secrets of war when they perished in the jungles of Vietnam. They are the grandfathers of the fallen of the first Gqlf War, the ongoing War on Terror and the War in Iraq.

And their lineage will continue throughout the ages, for America is filled and blessed with men and women who emu- late their calling, who tragically follow them, proudly, hon- orably, into an early eternal rest.

Many gifts that we receive, usually during birthdays and Christ mases. are ones that please us but suit a limited, even superficial purpose. You wear clothes.. Drive a new car. Tike that trip. You watch that DVD, read that book, listen to that CD. The gift of someone in the military, especially one who sac-

rifices his or her life, evokes a certain fact that has become a cliche to cite but remains true. -It's a gift that keeps on giv- ing, in ways we often fail to realize. Whenever we speak our minds, that is the fallen's gift to us.

Whenever we choose our career, travel freely or attend a it'ligious service, those are their gifts to us. Whoever we marry, whatever we join, whenever we do what we want, those are their gifts to us.

Every breath you take, freely drawn and exhaled without the constrictions of fear, is a gift to you from those who sac- rificed themselves to offer it. These gifts come at a price unable to be paid simply by vast

funds or treasure. The only way to give such a gift is to leave l>ehind one's family and friends for untold periods of time. The ultimate way to give such a gift is to leave behind one's own lite, in a jungle, in a desert, in the air, or on the sea. This Memorial Day. as with every Memorial Day, the Town

Crier encourages you to remember the fallen, to provide them pause, and to thank them for the one gift we should all consider ourselves deeply grateful, even unworthy, to receive.

Standing Eight Count by Stephen Bjork

How are our best interests determined? Dear Editor: Where are the "best interests" of Tewksbury found'.' There's no easy

answer. For example, over the past year we've let our "best interests" be

ik'fined by Mills' marketing program. A measure of its success is the Special Town Meeting's confirmation of Mills' view of the future of Tewksbury. Here are a few thoughts on how this vote has set an important precedent which impacts the town's future growth.

In the Mills marketing plan, citizens and officials become sales- l>ersons for the project. They label those who resist "troublemak- ers." "obstreperous" and "out of order" It-is the latter who stand up to question where this is all going. These sceptics see more traf- lic. more 40B developments, less open space, continuing financial challenges.

tewksbury has always been a developer's town. The Special Town Meeting guaranteed that it will stay that way. The people have voted to approve a massive development plan without requiring the devel- oper to evidence site control. How can any board now turn down a project because a developer doesn't control the project's site?

It concerns me that an out of state developer here: a Delaware Corporation based in Virginia), with a marketing plan, can get a Tewksbury landowner I here: Gerald Davis and Others) to author a Zoning Amendment which is crafted to serve its corporate interests alone ail without even a Certificate of Title on the underlying land!

Look what we did to JDS Enterprises' "Deerhavcn" that seeks to put 288 4<)B apartments on East St. The ZBA denied its application lor a Comprehensive Permit because the developer didn't have clear title. If we are not asking Perkins/Mills to produce a Certificate of Title, why do we ask for one from John D Sullivan?

Mills and Deerhaven are two big projects with a significant impact on the town. [I have publicly questioned both] Neither has a Certificate of Title from the Land Court to evidence unquestionable site control through ownership. For the former, "Who owns the land?" becomes taboo. The latter we deny because of a "cloud of litle." Is this fair?

Are we applying two different standards? Is this because we like one proponent better than we like another0 Or, are our "best inter- ests" determined by those who can best morph public officials into spokesmen for their marketing program'' Is this the best way for Tewksbury to grow? [Have we lost our precedents that limited our growth?!

1 have never been anti-Mall, or anti 40B. I just don't like big cor- porations pushing us around, or small LLC's grabbing at state land on Livingston Street. Average citizens need someone to advocate for them, not sell to them. I'm grateful I can serve in this often unpop- ular, frequently misunderstood, position as a Tewksbury Selectman.

If you are going to leave me a voicemail message, please, for the love of God, try to be brief.

"Hey, it's Chaz. Call me back. I'm at home."

That, my friends is a template for THE perfect voicemail mes- sage. It is succinct, yet it con- tains every facet of information necessary to convey the perti- nent information to the recipi- ent. True, he did not leave his last name, but how many "Chaz's" could any one person actually know? One is too many. In some cases it will be appropriate to leave your last name; like if your name is Bob or Tom or if you were drunk when the two of you met.

The template above clearly instructs the recipient as to the appropriate response - call him back. There is no confusion. Should you jump in your car and drive right over to the house of Chaz?

No, call him. Should you send Chaz a let-

ter? No, call him. Should you call your best

friend and demand, in a threat- ening manner, how the Hell Chaz got your unlisted number?

That is an option to seriously consider.

The message even specifies where good ole' Chaz expects to be when the return call is made. Granted, this message implies a certain level of famil- iarity. Some people may not know where Chaz lives. They may not know that Chaz is 43 and has been steadily pursuing an Associates degree since high school and still lives with his parents, but you know all of that because Chaz is your best friend.

People tend to provide far too much information.

"Hey, it's Chaz from the old neighborhood. What's up man, it's been a while. So, I was thinking about maybe going out for a beer tonight and didn't know if you had plans. If you already have plans, maybe I can kind of tag along. I'd really

appreciate it, because...well like I said, I don't have any plans tonight and it's Saturday and all. Heh, heh, otherwise it's just another night of watch- ing the Golden Girls with Mom and Dad for the ole' Chaz-man. Know what I mean, buddy? And listen, it won't be like last time, I swear. So, anyways, I should be at home at 978-555- 2222. If you don't get me there try my cell at 508-555-2222 and if that doesn't get me try my dad's cell at 781-555-2222. Alrighty, then, I guess I'll talk to you later. Call me."

You're not going to call him back. Too much information.

Are you a chronic long-mes- sage-leaver? You might be. There are a number of telltale signs. Do you find that you have to call back two or three times to complete your message, because the damn machine keeps cutting you off half-way through?

Do you have a $400 cell bill, but you haven't spoken directly to anyone all month?

Do your friends often begin conversations with, "Hey, what's up? I know you called, but I didn't get a chance to hear your whole message because I had to... (fill in the blank - go to work, go to bed, get an education,, etc.). ,.

Do you find that when your friend does call you back there is nothing left to say?

If you leave every little bit of information possible in your message, what then provides the impetus for a return call? Sometimes a little mystery is the best way to convince some- one to call you back.

"Stanley, this is Eustace at the office. We have to talk. Give me a call as soon as you get a chance."

That is a mighty cryptic mes- sage for a Friday afternoon. You are definitely going to call Eustace back. What's wrong at the office? Have you been fired? Have you been promot- ed? Demoted? Has there been some sort of major lay-off?

Turns out, Eustace just needs you to put in a few hours on Sunday afternoon. Since you are on salary, not only are you expected to help out whenever needed, you won't be compen- sated for it. Had he left all that information on the message your Sunday would be spent sipping margaritas by the pool instead of sitting beneath stacks of paper in the office.

By, the way; if you get your friend's machine and it makes some weird noise while you are leaving a message - do every- one a favor and hang up. Don't keep asking the machine if your message is being recorded - you just end up sounding like a dolt.

"Hey, Bob. It's Rudabaker here. Call me about the - squaaaark-what the...? Hello? Hello? Is this tiling still record- ing? (spoken away from the phone) Bob's machine made a weird noise - No, I don't know if it's still recording or not. (back into the phone) Hello? Hey, Bob, so, there was this weird noise and I don't know if you are going to get this mes- sage or not, but I was calling you about the thing we talked about before. So.. ahh.. call me if you get this, but I don't know if you will. Hello? Listen, tell you what; I'll call you right back and leave another mes- sage. But if you do get this one don't worry about the other one. Okay? Okay. Bye."

Why do we feel the need to tell the machine that we are going to call right back? Is that so the machine can get prepped in order to provide a better ser- vice?

If you hear a weird noise, just hang up the phone and call back. And for God's sake don't talk about the weird noise in your follow-up message. Next time you talk to Bob, you go ahead and tell him then. It will make for tremendous conversa- tion.

Let's not forget about the out- going message that you leave on your own machine.

[ Letters to

Nally thanks those who attended party

Dear Editor: I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to my extended family,

friends, fellow police chiefs and current or retired police officers who attended my retirement party at the Casa de Fior on May 14th. I'd like to apologize to the many friends who attended that I did not have time to greet personally during the evening; time just slipped by.

Master of Ceremonies Mike Caira directed the evening s activities with his usual quick wit. Several presenters used the occasion to roast the honoree, all in good fun.

A special thanks to Lt. Bob Richter, who spearheaded the planning of the party. Deputy, now Chief Bob Spencer, along with Patrolmen Pat Nally and Frank Hancock, assisted him. Thank you to the many friends and associates who sent congratulatory cards wishing me a happy retirement. They were all greatly appreciated.

It was a great way to end a 36-year career as a police officer for the Town of Wilmington. It has been an honor to serve the last few years as your Chief of Police.

Signed, Bernard Nally

A jolly thank-you

Who still thinks it's cool to i play a song in the background i while recording their outgoing i message? The song starts up i and is left on its own for a feW ] seconds and then the imbedfe } begins speaking. The song is \ then allowed to play out for 3 another minute after the per- 3 son's outgoing message is coin- ] plete.

People are not impressed; ^ they just think you're a tool.;-.:

Outgoing messages do not require as much instruction as ] they once did. For instance; in ^ 2004, people are generally aware that they should speak clearly after the beep.

"Please leave your name, number, the time of your call ;| and a brief message"

True, some people require J more guidance than others; fepj J free to instruct your dimwitted ] associates to leave their name j and phone number, but do you j really need to know what time ' the call came in? That's a lot 1 of pressure and just one more > thing to remember.

"Hi, this is Stephen Bjork and i my number is 978-555-2222, and j it is...oh, cripes my watch * stopped. Umm, hold on let rqe j go check the VCR clock. NoA j that one is always blinking. IJi * check the kitchen clock so yai'i get an accurate picture of justs exactly what time my call came j in. Okay, it looks like it is 10 j past 1 in the afternoon. Waifo did we adjust that clock i|r daylight savings time? I'm not completely sure It could be l£: past 2, but it is definitely one-of those two times. It is definite- ly, either 10 past 1 or 10 past &j in the afternoon. We've narv rowed it down to those twfri options. So, anyways, I wa$;« calling to tell you -BEEP-"

Great, now I have to CJUV| back.

If it's that important to youj; get a voicemail system with aI time-stamp, Cheapo.

MS Walk was successful .u

I a £V

Dear Editor: We did it! We completed the gift that we gave to "Honor" our. Mom andm

"Memory" of our Nana by giving to others . . . hundreds, thou- sands of others . . . simply ... the act of "Giving" and "Hope." ™

On May 16th, at 12:00 p.m., we started what some people mav' think would have been a simple 6-mile walk. What it turned out p' be was a hard walk in the cold rain and what seemed like a 6-mile walk "up hill" with only 3 hours sleep the night before! But... We? laughed, smiled and ran in and out of mud puddles and we matje' it as enjoyable as if it was a sunny 65-degree day. The people we walked with, including friends and other family members, and th^' many people we meet along the way, made it an incredible expe^j rience for all of us. *

But it was people like you who contributed what ever you could, whether it was with a donation, kind words, loving thoughts or prayers that really made it enjoyable and worth every minute the7

rain fell upon us. We were so happy to be able to donate an es(l-/

mated $2,000, with donations still coming in the mail, to the M$' Walk 2004, benefiting the Central New England Chapter of th¥- National Multiple Sclerosis Society. : °

MS is a chronic, unpredictable neurological disease primarily affecting adults in between the ages of 20-40. A diagnosis of MS. often means a change in family's educational futures, developing1

careers, and personal life goals and dreams. Recent advances flr MS research offers new hope and optimism that MS will someday1

be a disease of the past. But today, there is no cure. With tjfe money raised by not only us, but so many others, perhaps some- day they will find a cure so that other families do not have to exp£-£ rience the many changes that some families face when a loved otie is diagnosed with MS. '

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who con- tributed to our gift .. . or . . . the gift you may have made W another organization in memory of a women who touched yofli'' life. Thank you! ,,

EYE ON THE BALL. Sixth grader, Dana Ferranti, shows off, his juggling talent to rock music at the first Teen Coffeehouse,' held at the Wilmington Memorial Library on Monday, Apru, 12th. o!

Inwood zoning change is "in"

.i.).

By TARPON VINCENT WOBURN - Residential hous-

ing at InWood Park is a near certainty after the City Council last night voted, 7-2, to approve a zoning change for the 49-acre parcel in East woburn.

City Council President Paul Medeiros, whose district includes InWood Park, and Ward 3 Alderman Scott Galvin were opposed.

InWood officials still must obtain special permits for the housing project, which current- ly stands at 488 units, including 450 apartments and 38 condo- miniums.

William Yetman, with . llowland Development of

Wilmington, said special permit petitions for the housing would be filed in 3-4 months. Attorney Joseph Tarby, representing Howland and property owner Saticoy, InWood, said Conservation Commission approval would also be required due to the proximity of wetlands at the site.

The ConCom's order of condi- tions for an 850,000 square foot office park expires in August. Tarby said a new order of condi- tions would be required for the residential development.

In their pitch for the zoning change from an office park (OP- 93) category to a newly-created mixed-use category (S-2), the proponents have pledged a miti- gation package of nearly $1.4 million. The most recent addi- tions are $50,000 for new play- ground equipment at Ferullo Field in North Woburn and $25,000 in funding to make the Woburn Senior Center handi- capped accessible.

The mitigation package also includes $450,000 for the city's long-delayed Montvale Avenue widening project, $215,000 for installation of a new traffic sig- nal at the intersection of Wildwood Avenue and Salem Street, $400,000 for a new fire truck, $90,000 for three new police cruisers, and $160,000 for a "school plan feasibility study" to determine the needs of the Woburn School System.

Separate Mitigation arrange- ments have reportedly been made in Reading and Wilmington.

If approved, the InWood pro- ject will consist of 402 market rate apartments, 45 apartments restricted to tenants over age 55, three apartments set aside for physically handicapped ten- ants and 38 condos restricted to over age 55 tenants.

J :'.

The age restricted units would likely limit the impact of the project on the school systefrC The project started with 52^ apartment units but changed several times over the course'of deliberations with the council.'

InWood Park is located on'i sliver of land east of Route 93! and is geographically appealing to the city because it can ortiy be accessed through Wilmington and Reading, which would bear the brunt of the traffic burderf.

Former landowner Edward Callan first proposed an office" park at the site in 1985 and even- tually obtained special permit* in 2001. Callan installed some infrastructure, but he was able to begin construction of th buildings, mostly due to ee> nomic factors.

Texas-based Saticoy boug the parcel at an auction unsuccessfully tried to mark' the site commercially befor coming forward with plans for residential housing developing early this year.

Envisioning more tha $400,000 in new property tax re\ enue from InWood, Mayor Joh Curran endorsed the projec State Sen. Richard Tisei, whos district includes Reading, an Reading Town Manager Pete j Hechenbleikner also wrote t the council claiming a resider tial development was bette than an office park. Wilmingto officials also offered implic: support for a residential project

Galvin, however, was still nc willing to concede the potenti; of the site as an office par! which would yield approximau ly three times the property ta revenue than a residential site.

"I truly believe if (Callan) ha not held onto that property might have been developed a an office park," said Galv1-* "We should hang onto it until really need it to generate enue."

Medeiros, whose ferventl opposed the zoning change oi several grounds - particularl the notion of rewriting the zor ing code for InWood- kept hi comments brief last night.

"Everybody knows where stand," said Medeiros.

950 homes and businesses affected by power outage

[Truck hits utility pole on ndustrial Way

TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 2004

WJTON- Reading licipal Light Department

ers and line crews spent on Monday, May 24

toring power to 200 commer- and 750 residential cus-

Bers in Wilmington after a ctor trailer truck brought

i a utility pole, transformer primary wires on

et. tie Wilmington Fire

tment initially responded tie emergency call when the k's trailer slid into the util-

j pole near 21 Industrial Way, sing a fire at the top of the

A heavy rainstorm and pavement may have attrib-

to the accident, which is under investigation,

ngton Police notified who estimated repair

work would go into the night and advised any businesses in (he area making inquiries to ilose for the afternoon. LThe accident caused a trans- former on the pole to fall to the

street and spill oil onto the ground. An RMLD Hazmat Licensed Site Professional called in a hazardous waste contracting crew to clean up the oil spill.

The truck is owned by Miller Auto Leasing and Mid-Jersey Equipment Leasing in New Jersey and the driver, Javier Salmeron from Pocono Summit, Pennsylvania, was not injured. The falling pole and swerving truck forced a Massachusetts vehicle regis- tered to Robert McDonald off the road. His vehicle was dam- aged.

Automatic protective equip- ment at the Gaw Substation in Reading which services this area of Wilmington de-ener- gized two of the four circuits on the pole immediately, which caused an outage affecting the primarily commercial/industri- al area of Industrial Way, Eames Street and a section of Woburn Street and a section of Lowell Street, including the Town Crier office. This initial outage affected 200 customers.

RMLD supervisors arrived at the scene at 2:48 p.m. and

ordered an additional circuit de-energized because it had become entangled with the two damaged circuits, presenting a safety hazard to emergency personnel. An additional 750 customers on Main, Lowell, Chestnut Streets and Butters Row lost their power.

Chief Engineer Paul Carson said, "RMLD crews began iso- lating the damaged area at about 3:15 to allow partial restoration of the circuits. By 3:43 power was restored to approximately 90 customers, leaving only ten customers on Industrial Way without power."

Added Carson, "At 4:33 anoth- er 80 customers were back on and at by 4:50 service was restored to 750, leaving 20 cus- tomers on Woburn Street still without service.

RMLD crews replaced the pole and reattached the cir- cuits. Switching operations were then performed to restore these circuits to their normal configuration and returned power to the remaining 20 cus- tomers on Woburn Street at 8:54 Monday night.

Prevention Institute presents "The Healthy Way to Eat"

A MESS 'O WIRES: A tangled web of wires kept power crews working into the night on Monday. . The truck shown here apparently slid on a slick road surface where Industrial Way takes a sharp bend, taking out the pole. Considering the possibility, the truck sustained little visible damage.

Target, Commerce Way in Woburn

Suitcases in parking lot cause bomb scare

ieth

WOBURN- Three suitcases lined up in the middle of the parking lot at Target on Commerce Way for no apparent reason caused enough concern list Tuesday (May 18) after- roon that police cordoned off i lost of the lot and called in the ! tate Police bomb squad.

The suitcases were found to be < mpty, although one reportedly < ontained another suitcase.

The incident was first report- (d at 2:40 p.m. by store securi- t r. Woburn Police Officers

toard Jolly and Michael were first on the scene,

irding to Jolly's report, suitcases displayed a corn-

name, ICA Management Reading, Conn. Officers

led the company telephone r but were informed it

is no longer in service, witnesses reported seeing

ng and the suitcases' al was not recorded on the 's surveillance cameras.

By said officers began set- up a safe perimeter around "luitcases and after Sgt.

bert Giannotti arrived, the Police Bomb Squad was

lied and the perimeter was Expanded to 300 feet (initially, new customers were allowed to continue arriving, but the police eventually shut off the entrance to the parking lot). :§tete Police Troopers Mike

Ch^rven and Matt Murray arrived in their diagnostics da^rmined there were no explosives inside and the suit- cases were opened. .Shortly after, Woburn Police

aril Fire, along with an ambu- lance from Wilmington (Yfljburn's were reportedly busy on calls outside the city) clewed the scene, around 4:45

<jl»Stomers Customers interviewed after-

ward, all of whom said they rrlred after the start of the icident, said they were told arjously there was a drill or lat there was a suspicious ackage, but that they didn't ifid out they would not be flowed to leave the store until ker they had gone in. AH said everything was quite

inside the store during the ident and that Target provid- refreshments, on the house.

An employee at the store con- " everyone had remained

aim and, all-in-all, people had een pretty nice about handling je- incident Charity Lester of Hanscom lr Force Base, accompanied y Christopher, 9, and Chyllian, ,isaid she arrived after police

had cordoned off part of the lot and wouldn't have stayed if she'd known she couldn't leave, but said Target provided refreshments and "everyone just continued to shop."

Lester said she was nervous at first, but it didn't compare to the first time she'd been in a lockdown situation, on September 11, when people at Hanscom were told to stay in their homes and weren't allowed to go outside.

A Woburn woman who didn't want to give her name said she too had arrived after the suit- cases were discovered and was told a package had been found,

but that they weren't sure if it was a bomb.

She said she went in anyway, "because I needed stuff," and her biggest problem was she kept shopping and," of course, I spent more money than I wanted."

Taking No Chances This is the third "suspicious

package" incident in recent months, and, as with this one, both previous incidents were ultimately benign. But, noted Jolly, "Since September 11, were not going to take a chance."

Thanks to Residents The Board of Library

These three public forums were the first step in the data gath- ering process for the library's long range plan. The next step is for the Long Range Planning Committee to review, evaluate and prioritize the data that was compiled at these forums. In order to gather more input about library services from a larger number of Wilmington residents, the library will also conduct a town wide opinion survey this summer. The results of forums and the survey will be incorporated into the long range plan which is expected to be completed by the end of this calendar year.

Library Trustees The following residents make

up the Wilmington Memorial Library Board of Library Trustees: Joan Grady, Chairman, Karen Campbell, Vice-Chairman, Jim Banda, Mary Deislinger, Barbara Hooper and Edward Jones.

Page Turners Page Turners, the library's

Wilmington and even Tewksbury could feel the crunch

Convention security plan means massive headaches for area /l

By Pamela Mieth WOBURN- The traffic night-

mare caused by Secret Service-imposed security mea- sures for the Democratic National Convention in Boston this July will be felt far beyond the borders of that city.

Suburbs stretching many miles to the north, south and west, including Woburn and surrounding communities, will not emerge unscathed. And, the economic impact may also be far-reaching.

Convention organizers Thursday released a report

confirming massive high way closures, including some extending as far north as Woburn at certain times dur- ing the week.

To help plan for the upcom- ing disruption and coordinate emergency planning, a meet- ing was held in Woburn this week, attended by representa- tives from several area police departments, the State Police, and representatives from the Massachusetts Highway Department, as well as Woburn Mayor John Curran.

Woburn Police Chief Philip

Mahoney said the meeting was held at the request of State Police and included police offi- cials from Woburn, Burlington, Winchester, Reading, Stoneham, Wilmington, Tewksbury, North Reading, Methuen and Concord.

The topic of the meeting he said, was on the official plans to handle traffic during the convention and how those plans will affect those commu- nities.

They are, he said of the plans, "going to affect all of

these communities quite severely."

We are looking at severe headaches," he noted.

Although the convention itself is only July 26-29; sever- al measures will be in effect from July 23-30.

Closures Some key elements of the clo-

sure plan include: • all commuter rail trains

normally running through Woburn to North Station will be stopped in Woburn and commuters will be bused the rest of the way (to South Station), effective July 23-30.

• Interstate 93 will be closed from Medford to the Mass Pike, from about 4 p.m. to mid- night or 1 a.m., each day of the convention, July 26-29.

• As well, southbound 1-93 onramps will be closed from Woburn south and northbound ramps from Canton north to the Turnpike, starting mid- afternoon July 26-29.

• Also, the car pool lane on I- 93 will be closed for the full eight days, July 23-30, to be used for busses and emer-

Miceli announce s office hours Representative James Miceli

gency vehicles. • Additional road closures

including eastbound Storrow Drive, parts of Route 1 north of Boston, the Sumner Tunnel and the Tobin Bridge are planned.

All of these will combine to put a huge burden on other area highways such as Route 128 and secondary roadways through metropolitan Boston communities, Mahoney said.

Mahoney said the daily clo- sures have the potential to cause gridlock, as was seen when a truck rollover caused part of Route 128 to be closed down for several hours last fall.

He said MassHighway hopes to reduce the traffic that nor- mally goes into Boston by 50 percent; otherwise, he noted, they said there is the potential for a 22-mile back up.

Mahoney said officials are recommending people stay out of Boston as much as possible:

-employers are being urged to allow employees to take vacations or telecommute;

-hospitals are limiting elec- tive surgery;

- and courts are only han- dling urgent business such as arrests.

Local Impact In this area, the impact will

be felt by local residents who need to get into Boston and via the traffic impact on area arteries as people try to find alternate routes into or out of Boston, or as back-ups occur.

Mahoney noted the city's hotels are or will be full by convention time, so how those people will bo getting into Boston or to the Anderson Regional Transportation Center is an added concern. The center only has some 2,400 parking spaces, and while it's not usually full, it can accom- modate only so many addition- al cars.

Woburn police will have to be coordinating with MBTA Police who will have authority over Anderson, located in

northeast Woburn just off the new Commerce Way inter- change.

Further, Mahoney noted, local police are having to plan for the possibility of disruption or terrorist strikes at the con- vention, including having emergency shelters set up and plans to handle mass evacua- tion from the city should that be necessary. ,

Plans need to be made for local hospitals, both for han- dling problems that might,be shipped out from Boston, put also in case massive traffic tie-ups make responding; to local needs more difficult, • he said.

(There are other plans under discussion which Mahoney said are confidential and -he cannot discuss.)

No Funding Adding insult to injury, how-

ever, is the fact that local com- munities are not getting any money to help with the plan- ning or to mitigate the impact.

" There is absolutely no money for local towns," Mahoney confirmed. All the money so far has gone to the city of Boston, which reported- ly got $25 million ( less than the $90 million New York City is reportedly getting for the Republican convention), and some to the state police.

"The towns, they're realty hurting," he said of the addi- tional expense, but "we've got to do it and it's going to hap- pen".

Mahoney is more than a littte displeased that Boston and DNC officials did not make the decision to move the conven- tion to the South Boston con- vention center.

"If they had made the proper decision to do this at the con- vention center, we would not have these issues," he said.

The highway closures would have been unnecessary and it would have made it "a lot eas- ier for everybody," he con- cluded.

will focus on D-Day anniversary Lot at the Wildwood Cemetery

On Monday, May 31, the Memorial Day Parade will start forming at 9:30 a.m. Adult groups should report to the Market Basket parking lot on Main Street. Youth groups should meet at the Wilmington House of Pizza on Main Street.

Memorial Day Committee member Frank Curley, an Army veteran of the Korean War, hopes to see many of his fellow servicemen at the Market Basket prior to the march.

"Any GIs who would like to join us in the parade is wel- come," Curley says.

The parade's at ten. It will proceed from Main Street to Church Street to Middlesex Avenue and will conclude at the Wildwood Cemetery.

A ceremony at the cemetery will be held at eleven. Much focus will be placed on the 60th anniversary of the Invasion on the Beach at Normandy during

World War II. Next Sunday, June 6, officially marks that anniversary. Locally, it marks the anniversary of the sacrifice of soldier Elmer Drew, the man from Wilmington who died fighting for freedom on that French shore on a summer day in 1944.

A representative from the Marine Corps League will serve as Master of Ceremonies. A representative from the Council of Churches will give provide the invocation, dignitaries will be introduced, and wreaths will be placed by representatives of veterans' organizations and the Boy Scouts. The Wilmington High School Band will perform and local seventh grader Buddy Gromley will recite the Gettysburg Address.

Also during the ceremony, Veteran's Agent Paul Ferrell will read a roll call of those killed in action. Rife and can- non volleys will follow, and Taps" will then be performed

by trumpeters of the high school band. After the repre- sentative from the Council of Churches offers the benedic- tion, the parade will regroup and march out the main gate of the cemetery and make its way along Middlesex Avenue to the reviewing stand at the Town Common.

The Memorial Day Committee is comprised of Veteran's Secretary' Phyllis Vieira; Veteran's Agent Paul Farrell; Cemetery Superintendent Donald Onusseit; Captain Michael Shine of the Wilmington Minuteman Company; Commander Joseph Millette of the United States Navy Seabees; Commander Thomas Travaglia and Richard Dickson of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2458; Acting Commander Joseph Steen of the American Legion Post 136; and Commandant Robert Peterson, Robert Corcoran and James Hanley of the Marine

Corps League. Eaton's poem, by the way

ends victoriously. The service- man lost at sea is saved, and the passage capturing his res- cue reads. "Planes still searched from the sky / I held my vest lighl way up high / as the tin came nearbv / To myself, I heaved a sigh With all my might I did shout ' Having even hope, they would pull me out / A yellow light and then a boat / I thanked God I was still afloat."

The man who wrote that \xxmi was not afforded the same goo<i fortune. Eaton died shortly after completing his written work, a casualty ol the Korean War.

On Memorial Day. his memo ry will be honored, as will be the memories of those wljo have joined him alter placing service way above sell

; By STEPHEN_BIQRK „TEWKSBURY - A second affordable housing project is in the works for Livingston Street.

. John Nolan, of Livingston

.Place, LLC, presented plans for ,the proposed Livingston Place Co the Board of Selectmen dur- ing its meeting on Tuesday, May 18. '; Livingston Place is slated for 2.63 acres of property located at W8 Livingston Street and would be made up of four 2-story

.Buddings housing three condo- 'rhinium units each and one building with two units, for a total of 14. 'Eight of the units are 2,554

square feet and the remaining six, four of which are the affordable units, are 1,462 square feet. The developer expects to price each of the larger units at $349,900 and expects the market rate small- ertinits to be priced at $299,900. Affordable units are expected to go for $160,000.

The parcel of land is current- ly occupied by a residence,

|j which is under agreement with - ; Livingston Place, LLC, and

Livingsti would be demolished to accom- modate the new construction.

The selectmen were not oblig- ated to take any sort of action or to offer or withhold an endorsement of the project dur- ing the meeting. The developer is required, through the MassHousing program, to pre- sent initial plans to the local Board of Selectmen. The board is then encouraged to offer written comment to the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Development regarding the proposal. Selectman John Ryan did

express concern over what he perceived to be a high level of density on such a small parcel of land.

Chairman Joseph Gill took issue with the proposed height of the structures. While the buildings are designed as 2- story structures, Gill thought the attics appeared to add excessive height. He encour- aged the developer to work closely with Tewksbury's Local Housing Partnership.

Selectman Charles- Coldwelr- advised Nolan to involve the

neighbors as soon as possible. The proposed location of

Livingston Place places it near- ly across the street from the proposed Roberts Reach.

Roberts Reach first appeared before the board in April 2003. Attorney Robert Scarano brought it before the board, seeking an endorsement under the Local Initiative Program (LIP).

LIP is a program that part- ners a developer with the local Board of Selectmen in the development of affordable housing proposals. The pro- gram has been found to afford the town a greater amount of control over the scope and den- sity of what would otherwise be a straightforward Chapter 40B project. LIP is also the only 40B route that ensures that 70 per-

cent of the affordable compo- nent be awarded to local resi- dents.

The board originally voted 4 to 1 against offering any endorsement of Robert's Reach, which sought to put 20 single-family residences on 3.6 acres of land. The board con- sidered the project to be too dense for the area.

In June the board reconsid-

ered its previous position and agreed to endorse the concept of Scarano's proposal Tn« board reasoned that it fell with in the Zoning Board ol Appeals <ZBA) purview to determine the density level of the project The Board of Selectmen did however, attach a letter expressing a preference fewer units.

loss of a spiritual home, the place where so much time and resources have been invested, the house where so many important moments in people's lives, from birth to death, have taken place. I wish that there was some way that all of these wonderful houses of life and prayer could -remain open and alive and full. But there is not."

O'Malley urged Catholics not to interpret the reconfiguration as a defeat.

"A crisis tends to bring out the best and worst in people," he stated. "I hope that this time of crisis will help us to focus on what is essential, our fidelity to Christ and our connectedness to each other in His church."

Forums provide direction for library FROM PAGE 1

"' prerequisite for the library's ;. eligibility for certain govern- ; ment funding, including con- ; struction grants. The plans j] also serve as a useful evalua-

! tion tool in the areas of budget •: management, justification of • resource requests, public rela- j| tions, and community mission. | These plans may be viewed | online on the library's website !' at http://www.wilmlibrary.org ; by clicking on "About the

i Library" and scrolling down to ;' and clicking on "Action Plan" j and "Long Range Action Plan." I! The library's current condi- '■', tions were analyzed in terms of :how they affect its ability to

provide services to the town that are in keeping with the

•i goals and objectives of its mis- sion statement. Although a • myriad of topics was discussed .'iat length, the following list .': delineates the themes that !| proved to be generic to all three : forums: ;; Strengths of the library that ;; were cited include the friendli- ness, knowledgeability, recep- tivity, and creativity of the •; library staff; the improvement • in the library's collection of '! materials, including audio '■'. books; the increase in the vari- iiety of programs for all ages, '.] including the summer reading :; program, the teen program, the ;; museum pass program, the ;; book discussion groups, and the .-recent adoption of the ••"Wilmington Reads" program;

] and the active time and energy [> commitment on the part of both Ei the Friends of the Library and '■', the Board of Trustees. ft Weaknesses about the library ,'.'. that were cited include the ^library's space limitations in •ferms of meeting, quiet study, *and computer areas, staff work- ; Stations, and access for persons ;Baving disabilities; the less- -ffian-user-friendly layout; the ••Building's dated appearance; ■►flje fact that collections are

split up due to space con- i.straints; and the reduction of IT Saturday hours in the summer- rtoie and Sunday hours in the

wintertime. The library's location is

viewed simultaneously as both a strength and a weakness. While its central location is seen as a strength, its physical layout is seen as a weakness in terms of parking and the diffi- culty faced by departing patrons in pulling out of the parking lot during peak traffic times, such as when the nearby high school lets out or a funer- al is held. The layout also pre- cludes the town's ability to install a convenient drive-up book drop due to safety issues.

Opportunities for the library that were cited at the forum include the prospect of improv- ing the library's collaboration with the school system, senior center, and other town depart- ments; increasing the promo- tion of the library and its ser- vices, so that residents may more fully take advantage thereof; and moving forward with construction and other government grants as they become available.

Time is viewed as both an opportunity and a threat because while there is time to reanalyze and improve upon current proposals for the library, the more time that elapses, the greater the risk of losing out on opportunities to apply for the aforementioned grants, especially when consid- ering recent economic trends at both the state and local level. Meanwhile, both the building's limitations and the ensuing lim- ited service opportunities result in increased costs to the town.

The advent of the Internet is also seen simultaneously as both an opportunity for the library, in terms of improving its technological services, and as a threat, in terms of the pos- sibility of books being relegated to the endangered species list.

At the forums, the controversy and divLsiveness in regard to the future site of a new library was also identified as a threat. Although funding for the design of a new facility was allocated at the April 2002 Annual Town

Meeting, the vote for the relo- cation of the library to the Whitefield School in North Wilmington was rescinded at an ensuing Special Town Meeting in August of that same year. The library project was effectively stalled, and, as a result, the opportunity to sub- mit a proposal for the most recent round of building grants was missed.

Another identified threat involves the possibility that competing needs for limited availability of funds within the town could cause the library to be pushed down near the bot- tom of the budgeting priority list. Yet another threat that was cited at the forums is resi- dents' lack of concern or failure to understand the needs and potential of the library.

What is the ultimate cash value of .these forums? According to Library Director Christina Stewart, the opportu- nity to continue to advocate for a better library.

"Before us lies the opportunity to further educate both town residents and "officials about the value and importance of the library and its services," Stewart says. "Through these forums, we have the opportuni- ty to address majority consen- sus and develop a satisfactory and workable compromise that will gain wider acceptance and the support of voters in our community."

So what is the next step? The trustees will form a long-

range planning committee that is representative of the differ- ent constituencies and perspec- tives of its stakeholders. The data from the library's action plan and forums is collected and turned over to a Northeast Regional Library System facili- tator, who then reviews, evalu- ates, and prioritizes and incor- porates it into the long-range plan that was developed by the Board of Trustees.

Meanwhile, plans are in place to distribute survey forms to every household in town during the late summer or early

autumn. "The library staff and Board

of Trustees appreciate the fact that people gave of their time in order to participate in the forums and be a part of the process," Stewart says. "We are pleased with their interest and varied perspectives. Through the forthcoming surveys, we hope to extend the same oppor- tunity to those who haven't yet had a chance to share their ideas as to how the library can better provide services to the town." M

Most of all, Stewart hopes that residents will respond to these efforts with enthusiasm.

"We strongly encourage everyone's participation and involvement," she says. "It's an investment in a better Wilmington."

16W TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 2004

Chief Spencer sworn in FROM PAGE 1

who retired from the department on May 13 after decades of pro- tecting and serving the communi- ty of Wilmington.

Spencer's journey has been a distinguished one to that corner office that overlooks the pond at Rotary Park on the second floor of the new Wilmington Public Safety Building.

S|>encer, who earned a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from Northeastern University and a Master's Degree in American History from Salem State College, began his career in law enforcement as a reserve officer in Woburn in 1969.

In 1973, Town Manager Sterling Morris appointed Spencer to the Wilmington Police Department. Spencer was promoted to sergeant in 1990 and worked a couple of years on the shift from midnight until eight in the morn- ing. Three years later, Town Manager Michael Caira promot- ed Spencer to lieutenant, placing him as the head of the depart- ment s Criminal Investigation

Bureau. Spencer maintained that position until he became deputy chief in 2001.

It was not, by the way, a career opportunity at the local police department that brought Spencer from Woburn to Wilmington. Instead, it was Wilmington native June Calandrello, whom Spencer met, planned a wedding with and married in 1966, just three weeks before reporting to duty in Vietnam for one year. The new- lyweds built a house in Wilmington, right next door to Patsy's Farm on Main Street, where her father raised turkeys and chickens and grew vegeta- bles and fruits.

"We built the house where we still live," Spencer says. "June is a true Wilrningtonite.''

Together, as Spencer worked his way up the ranks of the Wilmington Police Department, the couple had four children. There's the oldest, Tracey, a suc- cessful attorney in town, who has her own child, Gianna, with her husband, Christopher. Then there's Michael, a state trooper, who lives with his wife, Lori, and

their daughter, Holly, on Kenwood Avenue. Joseph, who also lives in Wilmington, is a civil engineer. The youngest of the Spencers' four children is Mary Beth, a nurse, who is going to marry Robert Heals in September. All four are graduates of Wilmington High School, just like their moth- er.

During his time in law enforce- ment in Woburn, Spencer met and befriended a fellow reserve officer who would soon enjoy his own success with the Wilmington Police Department. Bobby Stewart, who would serve as Wilmington Police Chief for years prior to Nally, was employed as a reserve officer in Woburn as well. Both men used to alternate shifts at the Joyce Junior High School and would get to know each other when one showed up to relieve the other.

In 1986, Spencer and Stewart sought to confront a growing problem in Wilmington.

"Drugs were everywhere," Spencer recalls. "Wilmington was no different. We were look- ing for ways to reach kids and

keep them off of drugs." It was at this time that Los

Angeles Police Chief Daryl Gates was working in conjunction with the LA School System to create the Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program, which would quickly become popularly known simply as the DARE program. The program taught officers how to advise children about the dan- gers of drugs. The program iden- tified fifth graders as its first audience because that was the identified age at which kids are most impressionable. Police offi- cers were chosen as the appropri- ate instructors for the program because of their credibility.

Stewart found the DARE pro- gram to be quite promising. It was during that year, 1986, when Spencer became Wilmington's very first DARE officer.

The role, incidentally, was not the only one that linked Spencer to local youths. In the years that followed, Spencer also worked with Chief Nally to establish Wilmington's School Resource Officer Program. Spencer is also the former president of the

Massachusetts Juvenile Police Officer's Association.

Now that he's chief, Spencer is ready to lead his department through the challenges facing Wilmington. One of those chal- lenges, Spencer says, concerns the rapid rate at which technolo- gy is advancing,

"We don't know what's always around the corner," Spencer says. "Technology brings with it ele- ments in our society who use it for the wrong reason. For exam- ple, I never dreamed in 1998 or 1999 that we would be hunting down individuals who were trying to entice young boys or girls over the Internet. It was unheard of back then."

The key, says Spencer, is to have a local police department that is proficient in technology. That's a goal that certainly keeps on their toes any officers who now have laptops in their cruisers but remember the days when foot patrolmen needed call boxes on street corners to contact their stations.

"The definition of community policing has changed," Spencer

says. "In police work, there Is one axiom that is successful: How good are you at getting informa- tion to solve problems?"

Technology plays an important role in solving those problems, but there is one thing that will never change in getting the job done.

"It takes a human element," Spencer says. "You have to have the ability to communicate and know people. Information is the lifeblood of police work."

While he's chief, Spencer hopes to run a police department that the people of Wilmington will rec- ognize as open, receptive, profes- sional and courteous. He hopes to achieve this goal, in most part, by fostering an interconnected- ness within the department and applying his own personal approach to his job.

Says Spencer, "My philosophy for police work is, you're pre- pared and you do it right the first time."

his allegatioas were based on statements made directly to him by a qualified Department of Environmental Protection employee.

Additionally, Douglas states '.hat MEA employees told him i hat he was no longer permitted mi the property when he attempt- ed to arrange a visit to measure the height of the landfill.

"We couldn't generate our own data because we were banned

from the site," Douglas said. According to Douglas, the Order

of Consent required weekly moni- toring of the sedimentation con- trols and the state of the slopes as well as environmental reporting. That monitoring was to be per- formed by the firm of Camp, Dresser, & McGee (CDM), but was suspended, according to Douglas, in December.

"People can say that things are fine, but when monitoring sys- tems are put into place and are then suspended, it raises one's

Maureen Foresteire

curiosity," Douglas said. At press time, the official

results of the town's inspection of the site were not yet available.

Douglas's visual inspection of the site, however, did not alleviate his concern. According to Douglas, an entire face of the landfill was not seeded appropri- ately, leaving it bare of vegetative cover, and thus vulnerable to ero- sion, throughout the winter. It remains uncovered.

"(MEA)'s responsibility is that the conditions of the Order of

Consent be upheld and to main- tain the slope," Douglas said.

Douglas also stated that soil delivered to the site was not clean loam, as required, but contained pieces of brick, chain link fence, and piping.

Results of the height analysis were also not available before press time. Wilmington passed a bylaw at the 2003 Annual Town Meeting that limits the height of the Maple Meadow Landfill cap- ping to 40 feet.

Harmon agrees that the soil cur-

rently on the site exceeds 40 feet, but he specifies that what sits there now is merely a stockpile of soil which will be graded appro- priately in a future phase of the project.

"The height of the stockpile, not the landfill, definitely exceeds 40 feet right now," Harmon said. "But that is not its final form."

Hannon is not concerned with Wilmington's height restriction. He states that he has received multiple legal opinions, in addi- tion to opinions stated by DEP

employees that the bylaw will not stand up in a court of law due to the activity at Maple Meadow prior to its passage.

"We just want to finish the job and get out of town," Hannon said.

According to Douglas, the town has done nothing to prevent that goal.

"We are not trying to obstruct them from doing their job," Douglas said. "We are just trying to keep them to the rules that they've agreed to."

The structure and figures of the contract will remain as they have since the renegotiation of DeRensis's contract in December 2003.

L'ntil last December, the town had historically paid a flat fee lor town counsel services. DeRensis had been hired under such an agreement last sum- mer, but by December of 2003 he claimed that his firm had lost in excess of $100,000 as a result of such billing practices. DeRensis successfully renegoti- ated his contract, reducing his retainer and adding the prac- tice of hourly billing for spe- cialized and litigation services.

The town faced escalating bills for December and January, equaling as much as $25,000 for each month. The monthly bills began to dissipate in February and March, howev- er.

According to DeRensis, the town should not expect to see bills similar to December and January, excluding unforeseen circumstances, because the Board of Selectmen now have a more active role in litigation matters.

The board voted 4 to 1 to reap- point DeRensis, with Selectmen Chairman Michael McCoy as the lone dissenter.

McCoy explained that his vote was not a slight toward present Town Counsel, but that he was unhappy with a contract that did not include a monetary cap.

"I'm just being consistent (with my previously stated posi- tion)," McCoy said. "Paul is a great Town Counsel, but I am not happy with the contract."

Several teams' seasons coming to an end MIKE IPPOMTO »nH ... rQ_m. ,. . 4!_„ _, iU !1S„ _, _ , . ...... ^ MIKE IPPOl ITO j,.^

JAMIE POTE The Wilmington High boys

tennis team wrapped up their season last week, and although the 5-11 record the Wildcats fin- ished the season with was not quite what they had hoped for, it did not take away from what was a very enjoyable season for coach Matt Hackett and his squad.

"Overall I'm happy knowing that the guys had a fun year," Hackett said. "I'm disappoint- ed for them that they did not make the state tournament, but I know they still had fun and enjoyed playing together."

Along with the fun that he and his players had together, Hackett also felt that the play- ers came away with something just as important as qualifying for the tournament,

"Each player in their own way became a better tennis player and that is what's really impor- tant," Hackett said. "Years from now when they look back on this season they will not remember whether they made the state tournament, but they

will remember the good times and how much they improved."

Through a long season that included several close 3-2 loss- es, it was very important for the senior leaders on the Wildcats to help keep the team together. Fortunately for Hackett, his team was loaded with players of good character who were able to guide the team through the tough times.

Leading the pack for the Wildcats was first singles play- er and captain Derek Trueira. Trueira had an outstanding sea- son, including advancing to the sweet sixteen of the Eastern Mass. Individual Tournament.

"He wouldn't let anybody stay down for long," Hackett said. "With him winning all the time and the team losing, he could have had a negative effect on the team, but he was the exact opposite. He is so unselfish and is the ultimate team player. He was a great captain."

At second singles was senior Lou Auciello.

"I gave Lou our Coach's Award, which is an award that goes to a player that shows all

of the qualities of a captain whether or not they are a cap- tain," Hackett said. "He was not a captain, but he was a great leader by example. He always worked hard and showed really good sportsman- ship."

At third single another senior, Chris Ng.

"He's such a dedicated tennis player. He took his tennis career very seriously," Hackett said. "Not that he had a bad year last year, but he showed so much improvement this season and just took his game to the next level."

The other three seniors all played doubles this season. Two of the seniors, Dan Chalmers and Brandon Kelly teamed up to form the first dou- bles team for the Wildcats. Chalmers was a co-captain along with Trueira.

"Dan proved during the sea- son that he was a very good choice to be a captain," Hackett said. "If I could count the num- ber of times he dove for a ball. When a freshman sees a senior captain taking it seriously and being so classy, it sets a good example."

As for Kelly, Hackett was equally impressed.

"All of these kids love the game, but especially Brandon," Hackett said. "He's just a gen- uinely nice kid. He loves to talk about the game of tennis and is always trying to learn what it takes to win."

Joe Costello was the other senior for the Wildcats and his contributions went beyond just the tennis court.

"He was another kid, like Derek who keeps us laughing," Hackett said. "He was just another great kid that was so much fun to have on the team. It was great to see him playing with more confidence and hav- ing fun."

Girls Tennis The girls tennis team at

Wilmington High went through an even tougher season than their male counterparts as they struggled to a 2-14 record, but they also had a fun season that saw improvement from week to week. The girls did come up with a 4-1 win late in the season over Amesbury by a score of 4- 1. The win may not have been big as far as qualifying the Wildcats for any tournament play, but it was big in that it served as a nice reward for a group that had worked hard all season with little to show for it in terms of wins.

"It was nice for the to get that win and even into our last match of the season with Newburyport, they continued to play well despite losing 3-2," Wildcats coach Kevin Welch said. "They played strong to the end and it was nice to see them sticking with it."

Welch also felt that the seeing his team continue to work hard through the last match of the

season despite their struggles is a positive statement about his squad.

"It says a lot about them. It's really easy to get down on your- selves, but the best thing about high school athletics is that you are in it for the competition," Welch said. "We were in com- petitive matches all year and the girls saw they were able to compete which made it a lot of fun."

Leading the way for the Wildcats was a talented and hard working group of seniors. Tops among those seniors were co-captains Katie Russo, who played first singles and Allison Flynn who played second sin- gles.

"Katie was a four year starter for us," Welch said. "She played a very tough position and played it well. In every match she was playing the top players in the league and in just about every one she was competitive. She was a pleasure to have on the team."

Flynn was also a big contribu- tor for the Wildcats.

"Allison had a very tough year last year and she did not get a win, but she bounced back real- ly well this year and won five matches," Welch said. "She played like a true co-captain. She did a nice job for us."

Two of the seniors, Tiffany Zolt and Lauren Cushing teamed in first doubles.

"Toward the end of the year they showed a lot of maturity and they benefited a lot from their experience together," Welch said. "Near the end of the year they had two weeks where they went undefeated for the week. I can't say enough about how they improved by playing together." Jenna Ciaramella and Melissa

Estremerra rounded out the Wildcat seniors and they both contributed to the team in many ways.

"Jenna was a joy to have on the team. She probably could have had a better record, but I moved her around a lot and she was always willing to do what is best for the team," Welch said. "Melissa was a solid player for us and always gave her all in every match. She was always willing to play whatever posi- tion I asked her to play."

More important than the wins and losses for Welch was that his team improved as the year went on and had fun doing it.

"I wish the season could keep going because it seems like they improved every week," Welch said. "We never had a complaint from anyone on this team and that is a credit to the girls, especially the seniors. It will be tough to lose them."

Meet held at Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School.

The 'Cats finished with 37 points in the 11-tea'm field. Masconomet easily won with 145 points, followed by Hamilton-Wenham (99), Ipswich, (66), Lynnfield (56) and North Andover (44).

"We finished sixth in the sea- son standings so finishing sixth here is pretty much where we should have ended up," said coach Tom Bradley. "It was a terrible day condition wise so there really weren't many good times for anyone from any of the teams. But I thought we had some real good performances despite the conditions."

Sophomore Jackie Mello placed second in the 200 (26.3), Debbie Lyons was runner-up in the high hurdles (16.4), while the Wildcats' 4x100 relay team of Mello, Jen Comer, Amber Wamick and Katherine Chin were also second.

"Jackie ran a fabulous race, and Lyons did very well," said Bradley.

Senior Elisa Maglione was third tossing 35-5 in the shot put, Rachele See was fourth throwing 105 feet in the javelin, while Lyons (29-0 in the shot put), Chin (in the 200) and Alicia Murray (2:36 in the 800) added sixths.

The Wilmington boys tied for ninth with 28 points with host Hamilton-Wenham. The 4x800 team of Shane Gaffney, P.J. Russo, Chris Murray and Brian Schell finished with a very impressive second place with a

combined time ot R:>a. Schell was also second in the 4(M) fin- ishing at 52.2.

In fourth was the 4x100 squad of Jared Miller. Dave Celh. Eric Pelletier and Brian Giamberardino (47.3), as well as sophomore Alex Chalmers in the 800 in 2:09. Rounding out the scoring with fifths places were Giamberardino in the javelin (143) and Murray in the mile (4:43). This Saturday both teams will

participate in the State Class (' Meet which will be held at Dighton-Rehobth Regional High School. Bishop Feehan, Tewksbury and Mansfield are the favorites in both the boys and the g'rls competitions.

only game this past week while Saturday's game was postponed to Monday which was post- poned to Wednesday Wilmington needs to win all four of its remaining game to make it to the state tournament for the first time in three sea- sons. Wednesday's make-up will be against North Andover. fol- lowed by a contest against Manchester on Thursday and then the annual Memorial Day Tburnament.

SP2C TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 2004

After 33 years as a teacher and 28 as a coach

A legend is saying good-bye ■'«. t

By JAMIE POTE Sports Editor

In terms of wins and losses, and league and state champi- onships, the only way to describe Bob .MacDougall is "legend".

In terms of what he's done as a teacher and a three-sport coach at Tewksbury High School in some capacity since 1966 could only be described as "legendary".

In terms of the way to describe MacDougall as a per- son is what legends are made of. He's arguably the most sin- cere, loyal, dedicated, hard- working and fairest coach ever to don on the red colors of Tewksbury High School.

And now after 482 wins, 6 state championships, 36 league championships and 25 other various conference, relay and invitational titles, Coach MacDougall is walking away from the halls and the fields of Tewksbury High and into a new life, of retirement.

"He's a Tewksbury legend," said Steve Levine. "He put Tewksbury girls track on the map, but more importantly he made such an impact both aca- demically and athletically to so many kids. He's the finest teacher at Tewksbury Memorial High School. He's an outstanding educator, and a leg- end as a coach."

Added athletic director Bob Aylward, "There's not enough different ways to describe Coach MacDougall. The man has such great integrity. He's as loyal, as honest and as hard working as they come.. He's a tremendous coach, tremendous person and a tremendous teacher. We are so blessed to have him here for all of these years. We're all going to miss him deeply."

The road to Tewksbury Growing up in Melrose,

MacDougall moved to Michigan where he ran cross country and track at Birmingham Seaholm High School. After graduating from the University of Michigan, he needed a teacher's position and his aunt suggested he come back to Massachusetts and apply for a history teacher's job at a place he never heard of: Tewksbury. He applied and began working in 1971. Including one week for having a severe case of the flu, MacDougall missed about 11 days of work in 33 years as a teacher.

"I tried to be encouraging and creative (in the classroom)," said MacDougall. "In the 33 years as a teacher I didn't miss more than six days - well I did miss a week one year so I did- n't miss more than 11 days. I think you have to set that exam- ple to the students that you need to be there everyday.

"I think being a teacher and a coach is the same thing - you coach in the classroom and then you coach on the field. It's not a matter of being a great teacher, what matters is what the kids do. People always ask me what I teach and I tell them I teach kids. That's what we do - we teach kids, not subjects."

His classes, so it's been told, are extremely entertaining. He's been the head of the Humanities Department, but more importantly he's really made an impact on his stu- dents. Back in 1994 when the Town Crier had its first Coach of the year Award, it went to both MacDougall and Levine. Then news editor Jeff Nazzaro, who had both gentlemen as teachers during his days in the Tewksbury school system, had this to say about his experience with MacDougall:

"I had the pleasure of being in two classes taught by Bob MacDougall ... as a junior I took AP American history with MacDougall. Ya wanna talk

enthusiasm? . Well come on down! This guy teaches every period like he's just been named the next contestant on The Price is Right. His classes contain that one ingredient essential to any high school set- ting and particularly crucial to high school history forums: they are not boring. And Bob MacDougall's students learn.

"As a senior, every student who has any inkling to learn anything important should take MacDougall's social and politi- cal action course (SPA). Without invoking the least bit of hyperbole, SPA was the best class I took as a student enrolled in the Tewksbury Public Schools.

"With the SPA class, MacDougall encourages, in fact requires, his students to think. It seems almost as ridiculous to say that students were required to think as it does to say a gym teacher taught; but both situa- tions should never be over- looked or taken for granted.

"Through mock trials, debates, philanthropic endeav- ors, classroom study and field trips, the SPA class offers a kaleidoscope of insights into government, politics and social awareness while forging the thinking skills of emerging scholars. There is no more important function a teacher can serve than to stimulate thought; and no teacher I ever saw served that function as well as Bob MacDougall.

"It's no secret that I'm a writer. I mean I'm writing now, right? And though I eventually earned a bachelor's degree in English, I first entered college as a history major. My second choice? Political Science. You do the math."

That's just example of the impact MacDougall has made in the classroom - and certainly if you ask other former stu- dents, they will echo those com- ments, if not add much more.

Tewksbury High cross country, and indoor and outdoor girls track coach Bob MacDougall (cen- ter) is retiring after a long and impressive career as teacher and coach for the past 33 years. Throughout his 482 victories in the three sports, his assistant coaches have been there for the majority of them.

Coaching style You don't have to find differ-

ent and various ways to describe Bob MacDougall as a coach. It's pretty easy. He makes you work extremely hard, he makes sure you improve, have fun, and that you do the best you can. Throughout all of that, he wins.

"Bob is very thorough as a coach," said Levine. "He spends hours upon hours making sure he puts the girls in the right events. He has the right demeanor and the patience. Personally, he's one of the guys I've always looked up too. Things he did, I would always emulate. He's so patient with the kids - he's dealt with all kinds of phases of kids through (33) years and I have such tremendous respect for him as a person and as a coach.

"He's the finest coach I've ever been associated with. I really enjoy hanging around him. He does so much in terms of fund-raising and scholar- ships for his runners, his stu- dents and because of him there's a Jr. High running pro- gram, and many students get as much money as they can for scholarships for college.

"One of his best qualities is his relationship with parents. I know I could never do what he does. I also know that when it comes to my teams (in track) that we succeed a lot because his word is golden. He makes suggestions to me and without a doubt, anything he says sticks and works."

Despite the nearly 500 wins he had combined as a coach in boys and girls cross country and girls indoor and outdoor track, MacDougall is known more for one thing: his care for the kids.

"I really love those kids," he said. "I know I will miss all of them. Whether a kid had aver- age talent, no talent or a ton of talent, as long as they worked hard and improved is all I cared about.

"I remember one girl named Tina Manakos and all she want- ed to do was break seven min- utes in the mile. That's all she ever talked about and it's all she ever wanted to do. I remember after a long time that she finally did it - her father was there and I tell you she was so happy and to me that was probably one of the top highlights of my coaching career seeing a girl like that improve and just be so happy with what she did because of hard work. It took her two years to do it and it didn't make any difference at all with the team, but it made all of the dif- ference in the world to her and to me that's something I'll never forget."

His practices are said to be extremely difficult. It's work, work and work some more. But in the end, as he can reflect on, results come.

"I did what I thought I had to do," he said. "I tried to be as sensible as I could. Sometimes I think I didn't work the kids hard enough, but you also have to realize when the kids reached their limits. It's like home work, you do enough of it and results come. I always worked hard and I always told the kids that they would enjoy the results if they worked hard. They wouldn't enjoy practicing as if it was a party, it was more like climbing Mount Everest fun. I think the love for me came from personal growth - that to me is so measurable."

Accomplishments on the field

His wins and losses are truly incredible. So are the number of league and state champi- onships he's won. Bob MacDougall knows what it takes for a team to win. He's done it since 1978. Of the four different teams he's coached, he's known more for his suc- cess with the girls cross coun- try teams, and the outdoor girls track teams.

His cross country days are simply incredible. Since taking the job in 1978, MacDougall has an overall record of 177-72-1 with the girls program. He won a Division 2 state meet in 1988 and 1990, as well as a Division 3 state meet in 1995. His teams finished second in the entire

state in both 1994 and 1995, and finished fourth in the entire state in both 1996 and 1997. His teams finished second at the Class B Meet in 1991, 1992 and 1994 and then in Class C in 1996, 1997 and 1998. He won 11 MVC Championships, five MVC Meet Championships, as well as being a two-time Bay State Invitational champion, a four- time Bedford Invitational champion and a two-time Northern Area Meet Champion.

In outdoor track, his record is an amazing 161-36, which includes State Class B Championships in 1991 and 1992, and a State C Championship title in 2000. His teams finished as Class C run- ner-up twice in 1994 and 1996, and also captured five Class & relay Championship titles, five MVC Conference Meet Championships, and 13 MVC Division 2 League titles.

He took over the reigns of indoor girls track coach in 1996 and compiled a very impressive 55-17 record, including seven MVC titles, and a Class C Runners-up performance at the 2003 meet. Only in boys cross country does he have a losing record of 89-114, but he did have four MVC Championship teams in his 20-year tenure.

Certainly though coming away with six state champi- onship titles, including being the only coach at TMHS to win two state titles in two different sports, is something MacDougall could never forget.

"I think winning a state cham- pionship is more difficult than anyone could ever realize," he said. "When you have talented runners it would seem easy that you would win. But winning takes a tremendous effort. You have to have more talent than 35 other teams, and on that day, everyone has to do their best and you're not always going to get that. That's why I always enjoyed winning the Class C Relays because it's an entire team effort."

Throughout all of those years, seasons and wins, MacDougall coached thousands of kids, and many outstanding ones. When asked off the top of his head who would be considered in the group of elite athletes, he point- ed out a handful.

"Bev Lueken was a two-time New England champion in the 100 meters," he said. "Mary Alice Brady was a state cham- pion in the 400 with a 56.8 time and when you finish with a time like that it's a brand new ball game for everyone else. Lauren Andriolo was a very good ath- lete, Kim and Heather Ferrand were very good. Heather ran a 5:08 mile.

"More recently girls like Jen Takach, Nicole Morandi, Jen Lavallee, Kendra Hansford, Laura Petros, Andrea Toland and I think a girl like Shelby Leone (a freshman now at TMHS) will be in that group eventually. I know I'm missing some kids but all of those girls were very good athletes."

MacDougall pointed out sev- eral meets that he remem-

bered, Including in 1984 when' the track team finally defeated;' Andover for the first tirrfe." While he can pinpoint the morej' enjoyable victories,'' MacDougall was quick to point , out that he really doesn't hatfp any regrets. "';

"No regrets," he said. "I dM'' everything that I could. I felt'' fulfilled and I know I wouldrft'' have wanted to coach anywhere'. ( but Tewksbury. Sure I regret;', some little things, but no noth- ing major." '*,.

Charisma surrounds terrific teacher, coach and person

Bv JAMIE POTF. Sports Editor

I wish I was surrounded by a guy like Bob MacDougaU when I was in high school.

Not saying my teachers and coaches at Wilmington weren't fair, honest, hard-working peo- ple because most were just that. I certainly had many fond teachers, who taught me a great deal inside and outside the classroom with everyday life. I certainly had some good coaches, who taught me more the X's and O's. I also had some terrible teachers, who bored you to death with lectures. So boring that I probably couldn't tell you about a single one of them. I also had coaches who didn't teach you more than what you learned from watch- ing an episode of "Beavis and Butthead"

But throughout all of the adults I encountered when I was a teenager I didn't have too many like Tewksbury High three-sport coach and histo- ry/government teacher Bob MacDougall.

MacDougall to me is one of a kind person. He's not the big rah-rah emotional type with long lasting emotional speeches which leave you wiping your eyes. His words are basically "try your hardest and every- thing will work out". MacDougall isn't the yeller or screamer either - his ways of booting a kid in the right direc- tion are much more subtle.

MacDougall is the type of per- son and coach who believes in an old school style. That is, you show up, you work hard, you put in the effort, and results will come. You put in a half an effort and you won't be the sun- light at the end of the day. His belief s are simple, and yes they have worked.

His results? How about a 393- 125-1 record as coach of three female sports. Add to that six state championships and 32 MVC titles. Enough said.

Tewksbury High three-sport coach Bob MacDougall will no longer be fielding questions from Linda Endicott (raising her arm) or talk strategies with members of his team such as Shelby Leone (left) and Ashley Bibo (right). (Jessica Stygles photo)

Bob MacDougall's coaching resume

In the classroom, I don't know personally what he's like, but the many stories I've heard is if you didn't get assigned to MacDougalTs classes, it was as like watching the ball go through Bill Bucker's legs - yet so close, but agony that lives on with you knowing you missed a golden chance of something you'll never forget.

I always enjoyed history. It was one of the classes I really paid attention it. I had some great teachers who taught me a great deal. I wish though that I knew what it was like to partic- ipate in one of Bob MacDougall's classes. When you're a high school student, there's nothing worse than wak- ing up at 7 am and listening to some lecture about something meaningless you'll never remember. All you hear is the teacher rambling on and on .. and when that happens, your mind wonders in every direc- tion, or you start to tall asleep, or you start to fool around with your buddies. You do that because you're bored out of your mind and you can't take it anymore.

But if you're a 17-year-old, who has MacDougall for a class you feel much different so I hear. You want to get to class on

time, you want to make sure you don't hit the snooze button because on that day you could have a mock trial, a debate about a current event going on in the world. You get to think for yourself. At the same time you get to make points, listen to others and also have a lot of laughs. I wish I had that. I know I would have thoroughly enjoyed it.

I also know that I have really enjoyed Bob MacDougall's tenure as a coach. I've never hung out with him outside of the track, but he's a person I truly respect and honor. He's a very strong individual, as a family man, as a teacher and as a coach. He's very enjoyable to hang with. He gives you such a great deal of intregrity when you're around him. You feel good around him. You have ple- sant conversations and you always leave him smiling.

I can only wonder what that does for all of the teenagers he's come across because when you're that age, not all things are pleasant. You get misguid- ed and at the same time you think you know all, but you don't know what you feel. MacDougall is the type of teacher and coach, who sees your talents and abilities and

makes sure you realize you have them. At the same time he would nudge you to work hard- er, and in the end you would know and appreciate the direc- tion he was steering you in. He's done it with me a great deal over ten years of dealing with him, and I never took a test of his nor did I ever run a 400-meter race for him.

My wish of being surrounded by a guy like Bob MacDougall during my high school days will never happened. I'm pushing 30 years old and he's retiring, so unless we make up a sequel to Billy Madison where I play Adam Sandier, it's never hap- pening. But having been in touch with MacDougall almost every week for nine months each of the past ten years is something I'm very fortunate to have done.

A very quiet man, Bob MacDougall made a lot of noise when it comes to helping oth- ers, whether it's in the class- room, on the field or even deal- ing with parents, friends or the newspaper writers. He's influ- enced so many people, and made believers out of so many people. I'm one of them.

"I think Jenn (Brooks) would do a fine job," said

MacDougall. "She has been so great to deal with. I don't know if she wants it or not but if she does, I think she would be ter- rific. I just want someone who'll keep everything going. I

wanted to leave the programs in good shape and I think I've done that. I just want someone who'll keep the summer pro- grams going and fine someone who'll start a Jr. High pro-

gram. Whomever does take on the

one or four coaching jobs, as well as everything else Bob MacDougall has done over 33 years, will certainly have

extremely tough and Jolly the Green Giant shoes to fill. Ater all, legends like Bob MacDougall are not put on this Earth, or put in the Tewksbury School system even.' day.

Rocco, local teammates, enjoy College World Series By MATT KALMAN

Sports Correspondent The Bryant College baseball

team - which includes three

local players - started its first- ever journey through the NCAA Division II College World Series on Saturday and

Monday to mixed results. The Bulldogs started their

run with an 11-3 rout of Rollins College on Saturday and then fell to Grand Valley State, 5-2, on Monday. Bryant was sched- uled to face the winner of Tuesday's Central Missouri- Kutztown game on Wednesday in a do-or-die contest at the double-elimination tourna- ment in Montgomery, Ala.

"It's been nice down here, really nice," said Tewksbury High graduate Mike Rocco, a Bryant freshman and the Bulldogs' starting first base- man. "It's been really hot, in the 90s every day. And it's been real humid, so it's a real change from up north. I think the first day was real hard coming out in our full game gear, long pants and stuff. We started to sweat before we got off the bus. But the trainers and all the people that came down here with us are making sure we're taking the neces- sary fluids and taking precau- tions."

Rocco is joined on this year's Bryant squad by former Tewksbury teammate Matt

Davis (a freshman relief pitcher) and Wilmington native David Rappoli (a sophomore starting pitcher who honed his skills at St. John's Prep in Danvers). Rocco made an impact in the Bulldogs' opening-game victo- ry. Hitting in his usual No. 2 hole in the order, he knocked a couple of singles, reached base via a walk and a hit-by- pitch and scored and drove in one run during his 2-for-3 day. He recorded 10 putouts and one assist in the field as the Bulldogs won behind the pitch- ing of Steve Sloan, who went 8 2/3 innings and allowed just three runs on 12 hits.

"It was great. I was able to make good contact all day and got two hits," Rocco said. "It's great being able to win here. It's one of those things I'll always remember, even if we do it again. This is the first time I've been down here and the first time Bryant's been here, so to play well makes you feel great."

Outfielder Mickey Ryan added four hits and shortstop Kevin Mahoney and right

fielder Adam Rourke added three hits apiece in the victory by the Bulldogs, who managed to shake their opening-game jitters.

"When you first get down here and you meet some of the teams, you finally realize there are only eight (Division H) teams in the country still playing baseball," said Rocco. "We were a little nervous I think taking infield and taking outfield before the first game, but then we realized it's just baseball."

The Bulldogs then had Sunday off from game action - they participated in the CWS Opening Ceremonies and ate dinner at Outback Steakhouse - before they got back on the diamond against Grand Valley State, which had won its first- round contest.

This time opposing pitcher Phil Mixter limited the Bulldogs to just five hits over 6 2/3 innings and then Sean McLeod allowed no runs on two hits over 2 1/3 innings in the Lakers' victory. Rocco went 0-for-4 at the plate, while Rappoli appeared for 1 2/3

innings in relief and allowed no runs on one hit and fanned one batter.

"(Mixter) was able to hit his; spots and keep us off bail-; anced," said Rocco. "They; were a real good team, Grand; Valley State, and it was a great, matchup for us. The ball just' bounced their way this time." I

Only Mahoney managed more than one hit for Bryant,' as the shortstop went 2-for-4.' The Bulldogs hit into one dob-' ble play and left eight men on base,, while the Lakers man- aged to overcome 11 men left, on base for the win. ; i

In order to continue its run - the championship is scheduled i for Saturday - Bryant faced a must-win on Wednesday after- noon and«Rocco knew what his • team needed to do.

"Wednesday's an elimina-' tion game, but we can't press' too much," said Rocco. "We: just have to play our type of game and realize it's only! baseball."

Wait, this is a joke, right? C'mon, the USOC (United State Olympic Committee) can't be serious. Don't wave the flag? That is downright pathetic. And the fact that this is coming from the U.S. Olympic committee is the worst part. It's childish, really.

When Franklin, Jefferson and Washington signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, little did they know their ideas for a new nation would come to this. Everything that is American is being tarnished. Don't show any patriotism? Hello! This is the Olympics! The whole point is to show people where you're from.

Why should Americans have to back down? Because we're superior? That's inaccurate. We didn't even take home the most medals in Salt Lake City (that was Germany in case you are wondering). Geez, the whole point of being an American is to be proud of the fact we are free to do these things. Not to back down or be politically correct. Not to men- tion, these athletes work for years to win a medal. Do you think if you worked your whole life up to one moment you would show a shred of exuber- ance? A little bit of bubbling satisfaction? It's like you win, shake your opponents hand, and then you walk off and put your medal in a shoebox and forget about it. That looks even worse!

What is this USOC trying to

prove, anyway? We wouldn't want to upset the Queen of Denmark by giving a team- mate a high-five. We have to embrace the fact that Americans are different. We are cutting edge. We influence the world. Half of the coun- tries on Earth would kill to be like us. The Red, White and Blue is an international sym- bol of everything a person could want. And now they want to be politically correct the world over. Let's just take everything we stand for and let it rot, tucked away so the World looks at us better.

And this couldn't have come at a worse possible time. Let's see...

There is a heated Presidential election right now. Everyone is really look- ing forward to America kick- ing butt in Athens, and oh yeah, we're at war! Great time to discourage some patrio- tism.

This is dumb. That's all there is to it. The Olympics happen every two years and it is the international stage where the finest athletes showcase world-class talent. If America does better than other coun- tries so be it. We should

embrace that. Not be afraid that some people won't like us. Maybe the Iraqis who were freed by us will wave the stars, and stripes. But isn't the whole point of America to give people the freedom to wave the flag and celebrate the place that has given so many people new starts?

All these years when we saw. an exhausted Jim Craig with an American flag cloaked around him we saw him as an" icon. Or when we saw the amazing halftime display at Super Bowl XXXVT that remembered the fallen^ Americans on September 11, we could only sit and watch.' Why didn't anyone say not to' get carried away with our' patriotism then? (

J. You know why? Because np,

one in their right mind would possibly tell Americans not to act like Americans. That is until the Olympics of 2004. Now we have to restrain our' joy. Let's look civilized. We're' not animals. Of course not, we're Americans. Why would,, anyone in their right minds try not to show what makes us so proud. Because we wouldn't want to offend anyone would we?

'Cats strike Rams Bv JAMIE PQTF;

Sports Editor If you picked up Monday's

Boston Herald and looked in the high school sports pages, you might have noticed a few things. In case you overlooked the num- bers, several of them were pretty astounding. For instance, of the top five pitchers in Eastern Mass two of them are local girls. Jenn Elwell, a Tewksbury resident, is a senior hurler on the Shawsheen Tech Rams. She had a 14-2 record with a 0.07 ERA and 213 strike- outs in 114.1 innings and ranked third in the poll. Wilmington High senior Jackee Joyce was fifth with an 15-2 record and an 0.12 ERA. She had similar numbers in

and have two league games left against Georgetown and a much improved Dracut team Friday night in another non-league game to close out the regular season. On Tuesday, the state tournament pairings will be released and Wilmington should be among the top seeds in the Division 2 North tournament along with Cape Ann League rivals Amesbury and Triton, perennial Dual County League power Concord-Carlisle and Beverly and Saugus of the Northeastern Conference.

With the loss, Shawsheen falls to 15-3 on the season and they will enter the Division 3 North state tournament next week. The last three years the team has made it

Uie K ratio as Elwell striking out 218 batters in 116 innings.

On Monday night, the two pitch- ers, and the two teams, Shawsheen and Wilmington, met for a non-league battle played at Aprile Field. After five complete innings, the game was called due to severe lightning. The game goes down in the books for a 'W for Wilmington. Joyce gave up one hit in five innings, while she struck out 10 (11th one doesn't count because of the lightning) and didn't walk a batter.

Elwell, who last week became the sixth pitcher in the entire state to have 1,000 strikeouts in a four-year career, also pitched extremely well but several defen- sive miscues by the Rams helped the Wildcats come away with a 2- 0 victory.

With the win, Wilmington improves to 16-2 on the season

to at least the sectional final, while losing twice in the Eastern Mass Final. Shawsheen will be one of the top seeds in the tour- nament along with league rival Tyngsboro and Georgetown of the Cape Ann League.

Monday night's featured two terrific hurlers. Joyce won the battle tossing a one-hitter, a bunt single by Katie Russo in the fifth inning. Elwell gave up two runs, one earned on six hits, while she didn't walk any batters, and she struck out eight in just five innings.

"Jackee was pumped up in this game," said Wildcat coach Bob Surran. "She saw the crowd and she knows about the rivalry and she has some friends on that team. She wanted it. I think Jenn doesn't throw as hard as Jackee, but Jenn has meticulous control. I think she's walked two batters

all season. She changes speeds and location just enough to set you off."

Shawsheen coach Maureen Buckley also thought emotions were part of the outcome.

"I think emotions had a lot to do with it because the girls have a lot of friends on the Wilmington team." said Buckley. "But (the Shawsheen girls) just looked ner- vous. I haven't seen them as uptight in a game since last year's (Eastern Mass final). They were thinking instead of just reacting. But this kind of a pressured game will only help us get ready for the tournament"

The two teams were scoreless through the first three innings. Joyce faced the minimum of 14 batters until Russo's bunt single was legged out in the fifth. She really had some extra gas on her pitches on the night. Her rise ball was of course the devastator, but her regular fastball really was jumping out of her hand.

"Jackee has that riser and you can't afford to give up too many swings because eventually she'll get you with it," said Buckley. "Wilmington put the ball in play more than we did. But hey this is a great warm-up for the state tournament."

Wilmington stranded two run- ners on base in the second inning when Elwell got out of the jam by striking out the next three bat- ters. After Ashleigh Joyce reached on an error for the Cats to lead off the bottom of the third, pinch runner Maria Sorrentino was moved up two bases on sacri- fice bunts but was stranded at third as Lauren Rappoli flied out to left.

In the fourth, Wilmington struck for a run. With one out, Jackee Joyce doubled to the right center gap. Stephanie Steeves dropped an infield single on the pitcher's mound and Joyce stayed at second. Julie Martell then reached first on a fielder's choice as a throw to third base to force Jackee Joyce was missed, allow- ing her to score the game win- ning run, while Steeves moved to third and Martell to second. Elwell then struck out the next two batters of get out of the jam.

In the fifth, Wilmington added its second run-. Katie Martell sin- gled past third base. She was sac- rificed to second by junior short- stop Lani Cabral-Pini. Rappoli then doubled to the center field gap to drive in Katie Martell.

"I thought we would do a better job of hitting because we've been facing a lot of live pitching in practices," said Surran. "We also got some bunts down. I think it's just a matter of time, depending on the right time, the right run- ners on base and having the right batter at the plate."

Senior Shannon Fahey was the lone batter in the entire game to have two hits. Katie Martell, Rappoli and Jackee Joyce had the other hits for the 'Cats.

Shawsheen center fielder Ashley Robar made a nice run- ning catch to end the first inning off the bat of Rappoli.

Morlani and Wallace provide big bats I Anthony Morlani, Wilmington $nd Ron Wallace, Tewksbury helped lead Lightning Baseball sweep back-to-back double- headers this past weekend. 'On Saturday Lightning base- ball defeated the Tri-County Hitmen (from Millis, MA) in foo mercy rule games 19-3 and |3-0.

Under 96 girls host the pesky Hornets | It was a fast paced, equally matched contest as the Wilmington U9 B-girls hosted ilorth Reading this past Saturday. The Wildcats started $ut strong with the offensive line •f Kelsey Mangan, Lauren ilcKenna and Megan Priem ipplying constant pressure on the ft. Reading defense.

• Gillis put an end to their 4rive promptly. Caitlin Cheney Served as the Wildcats first half |eeper with some outstanding saves and showed utter determi- iation in not allowing the other (earn a chance to score {A rotation in the offensive line brought Kim O'Dea and Anna Jiegel in to join Lauren in the

attack force again keeping the No. Reading keeper jumping and diving to keep the many attempts of Wilmington at bay. Emily Colosimo now came on to join Delaney in providing sound defense for Wilmington. The end of the first half came to a close with the score tied at zero a piece.

Second half action started off pretty much the same way with the Wildcats pouncing on the defense of N.Reading. This time the offensive line consisted of Emily, Caitlin and Lauren where we once again saw great passing and terrific positioning. Defensively Wilmington had Megan and Delaney acting as a constant shield to their keeper now played by Erin. N.Reading got on the board first, however after a change in shift, Kelsey responded with the Wildcat's first goal after a perfect pass from Kim.

On defense, Emily was unbeat- able in halting any type of pro- gression by the N. Reading offense. After a second goal by N. Reading history seemed to repeat itself with Kelsey putting another shot in net with the assist going to Anna this time.

This great game ended in 2-2 tie. This was by far one of the most exciting games and well-played games by these girls. The show of awesome teamwork and super sportsmanship was amazing. Everyone played n important part in this latest match-up. Once gain we would like to thank our coaches Walter Duffy, Andrea Gillis and Andy Mangan for their time and dedication to our girls and the way they are helping our kids be good soccer players s well as good "sportsman". Also, many thanks to the parents, families and friends who continue to come and cheer our team on each and every week

Wilmington High girls softball coach Bob Surran visited the mound during a recent CAL game to talk strategy over with pitcher Jackee Joyce, catcher Lauren Rappoli and third baseman Shannon Fahey. (photo by Brownphoto.com)

ilmington High sub-varsity sports round-up l;Bv DAN DILWORTIf

* reports Canegpaodeitf The Wilmington High junior

vareity baseball have struggled o»Jn the stretch, losing four of their last five games. In the last "Ti weeks, they have lost to ■tucket 7-2, North Andover 9-

Lynnfield 6-0 and fevtburyport 12-8. They beat

Amesbury 7-4. (A'gainst Pentucket, Brian

( aira pitched a complete game an£ also had a hit and two RBI. i ldb Caira contributed to the dfftjnsive production with a hit i!i'well. Brian Caira also I itemed against Lynnfield, giv- i lg up only two earned runs on eight hits while striking out four in the game. The 'Cats og&se struggled against

Lynnfield, however. The team only had three hits, coming from Brian Caira, Peter Rastellini and Josh Mayo.

The offense performed very well in the loss against North Andover, however. Josh Mayo went 3-for-3 with an RBI. Keith Brandano went 2-for-3 with two RBI. Peter Rastellini also con- tributed, going 2-for-3 with an RBI.

Against Newburyport, Josh Cunha led the offensive attack, going 3-for-3 with three runs scored and two RBI. Ryan Oliveri and Tom Miele each contributed with two hits and two RBI and Mike Auciello and Aldo Caira each had one hit and one RBI.

In their win against

Amesbury, Alex Montalto deliv- ered a good pitching perfor- mance, going the distance with three strikeouts, no walks and allowing nine hits. Mike Auciello contributed to the offense with three RBI. Ryan Oliveri went 2-for-3 with one RBI while Keith Brandano had two RBI and Bryant Buck had two hits.

In their last nine games, the boys have gone 5-4. Coach Ferrari attributes their recent struggles (14 in their last five) to the quality of the teams they've played recently. Lynnfield, to whom the 'Cats lost 6-0, has been the best team in the league this year. Offensively, Wilmington has done very well this year, hitting

around .300. Their team ERA is also quite respectable at about 3.5 for the year.

Two of the 'Cats top pitchers this year were Brian Caira and Alex Montalto. Caira went 3- for-4 with a 3.56 ERA. He pitched four complete games and struck out 32 batters in 42 innings pitched. Montalto went 3-1 with a 3.11 ERA and three complete games.

On offense, Josh Cunha's .423 batting average led the team. Peter Rastellini was one of the team's most consistent hitters with a .389 batting average. Josh Mayo and Alex Montalto followed with batting averages of .361 and .356 respectively. Montalto also led the team in hits. Mike Auciello, whose bat-

ting average was just under .300, led the team in RBI.

"They're a good group of guys and much better then what their record (6-9) shows. They've made a lot of progress and should all be able to help the varsity team," Ferrari said.

Freshmen Baseball The freshmen boys struggled

last week, losing to Amesbury 7-3 and losing to Lynnfield 12-4. They were able to beat Rockport, however, 9-8. Their overall record is 5-8-2.

John Olivere batted .400 this week, going 4-10 in the three games. He also pitched against Rockport and earned his first win. Brian Kelly had a good week also, with two hits against Lynnfield.

"I think the team learned a lot this season and will be pre- pared to move on to the next level. The team showed a lot of, effort at practices and irt games" said coach Anthony Altieri.

Brendan Sheehan had a good season at left field and at sec- ond base. Eric Legro performed well all year in center field On the mound. John Olivere pitched very well. Olivere also did well at shortstop

Altieri enjoyed seeing the players apply what they learned in practice to game sit- uations. He also enjoyed seeing their improvement through the season.

Alteri coaching the game he loves Bv DAN DILWORTH

^ports Correspondent

Wilmington High Freshman Baseball Coach Anthony Altieri hasj brought a successful coach- ing career to Wilmington. At his- previous coaching job, he led a junior varsity team to a ISfcrecord over the course of WByears. He's also had a lot of success playing baseball as well as football and basketball

S Altieri went to Northbridge High School, near Worcester. Thefe, he played three years of Varsity baseball as a shortstop 4nd pitcher. Unfortunately, an elbow injury ended his pitching career in high school, though he was still able to play and wfls captain of the team. i"We had pretty good teams.

One year, we went to the state finals and lost to I think Bishop Fenwick, but we were 22-2 that year. My baseball career was a lot of fun," he said.

Over-40 men's

He was also captain of the football team and set a school record for most touchdown passes in a season. The record was broken by his brother four years later. In the winter, he played basketball and was cap- tain of that team as well. However, he has never coached basketball or football.

After high school, Altieri went to Eastern Connecticut State University, where he played third base for the school,s base- ball team. In his sophomore year at the university, the team won the National Championship.

While in college, Altieri also majored in physical education and minored in health educa- tion.

"That was always my interest in high school. I played three sports in high school and it was what I always wanted to do be around kids, teach the different

soccer team season off right

'• The Wilmington Men's over 40 soccer team continues right where they left off last year. "After losing in the conference

finals to Ipswich in the fall, the team has added a few more new comers to replace some of the retiring players. This past weekend they just finished a

ble header sweep from a fong Woburn team. First win-

Saturday night 6-2 then coming back the following SunHay morning with a 2-1 win, something highly unusual for

The Saturday win marked the

first victory for goal keeper Steve Mason. The team has got- ten off to their best start ever, with a record of 6-0-1 they find themselves in first place with 3 games remaining. Their only blemish was a come from behind 2-2 tie with Windham, NH who they play again on Sunday at the Woburn Street School at 9:00 am.

Following this game the remaining schedule includes Billerica away and Melrose at home. Good luck in the run to the playoffs.

Tigers offense as they pushced across five more runs in their half of the secnd. The key hits belonging to Harris and Derek O'Dea, each with RIB singles. The Tigers 9-4 lead seemed insurmountable but the pesky A's roarded back on the strength of a Butters' bases load double and a few Tiger errors to tie the score at 9-9.

The A's proceeded to push across a run in the fourth and three more in the fifth off Tiger's ace Jeff Harris on the strength of hits by Jim Bonish, Jonathan Rizzo and Ryan Hunt.

The start- ing pitcher went the maximum allowed four innings and pitched perfectly. She put down all 12 batters she faced, striking out nine.

The Brewers also got much improved pitching on this night. Starter Breanne Kindred went 3 innings and only walked three.

Despite the 15-4 deficit, the Brewers demon- strated improved play both on the mound and in the field.

The Rams, in only their sec- ond year of play at the varsity level, will wrap up their season next week and then wait for the stfctfe tournament seedings, where they should be ranked very high.

The title clinching win did not come easy for the Rams, as they overcame deficits of 3-1 in the first quarter and 8-5 late in thelhird quarter to come away with the win against a Northeast team that brought an 11-2-overall record and 11-1 MTLL record into the game.

Senior attack Mike Foley of Tewksbmy scored the game winning goal with 3:50 left in he "game on an assist from iopftomore Kyle Marzeoti, as he'Rams outscored Northeast 1-0 in the fourth quarter. HI-was a good heads up goal

>yhMike. He got a nice set up rom Marzeoti and he just juried it," Costabile said. Poley, who early in the season

lid' hot provide much of an offensive threat for the Rams has- improved as of late to pro- vide the Rams with depth at the top of the scoring chart.

^Mike's really come on and he has'also been a great influence on- 1the team and a great

senior," Costabile said. "He always plays hard. Sometimes he gets the job done just by sheer effort."

A Northeast win would have dropped the Rams into a tie or first place. Northeast seemed intent on doing just that as just seven minutes into the game the Rams trailed 3-0.

"We came out a little flat and they took advantage of it," Shawsheen coach Al Costabile said. "We had a real awkward start to the game. We did not play like we did in our win over Minuteman last week or in our win over Northeast earlier this season."

Despite the early deficit the Rams did manage to fight back and tie the game 3-3 at the end of one quarter and actually took a 5-4 lead into halftime. But just as they came out flat in the opening minutes of the game, they did the same in the opening minutes of the second half, and they saw Northeast score four straight goals to take an 8-5 lead.

"I think our kids took them a little bit lightly," Costabile said. "And when we would allow them opportunities and they were scoring, all it did was build their confidence and make our job more difficult."

Costabile and assistant coach Chuck Baker have been very proud of the efforts of their players this season, but the third quarter of this game was one time when they were not pleased with their effort and they let them know about it at the break before the fourth quarter.

"We attempted to get their attention at the end of the third

quarter," Costabile said. "We just reminded them that they were undefeated and if they were going to lose that unde- feated streak it should not be by being embarrassed which is what was happening to us."

The Rams obviously too their coach,s words to hear, as they dominated the fourth quarter. Actually, the comeback had started late in the third, when Brian Warden scored to cut the deficit to 8-6.

"That was a huge goal for us," Costabile said. "It's a big dif- ference coming back for a two goal deficit as opposed to a three goal deficit."

Ron Raymond, who had three goals and two assists on the day, got the Rams going in the fourth quarter, bringing them to within 8-7 early in the frame, and Warden scored his second of three goals on the game with 5:30 left to tie the score at 8-8.

Fbley then added his game winner with 3:50 left, and Warden followed with a big insurance goal with 1:30 left in the game to account for the 10- 8 final.

"They played inspired in the fourth quarter," Costabile said. "They were dominant. We scored four goals, but I think we had something like 12 shots on net. Their goalie played a great game."

Other goal scorers for the Rams were Kyle Marzeoti and Jon Santos, each with a goal and an assist. Tewksbury native hank Chase made 11 saves in goal to earn the win.

Baseball After weeks of playing

tremendous baseball and com-

ing up with some big wins, the Shawsheen Tech baseball team had a bit of a rough time of it last week, as they dropped two of three games to Commonwealth Athletic Conference opponents, dim- ming their hopes for a third straight CAC title. The Rams suffered losses to Whittier and Tyngsboro, sandwiched around a win over Greater Lawrence. The 1-2 week left the Rams with an overall record of 11-7, and 11- 4 within the CAC.

"It was a frustrating week in the sense that we had several opportunities in the games we lost and did not take advantage of them," Shawsheen coach Kevin Bloom said.

The week began with a heart- breaking 1-0 loss at Whittier, in which the Rams were beaten on a two out, two strike single in the bottom of the seventh, which allowed an unearned run to score. The hard luck loser for the Rams was Tewksbury native Steve Stocki. Stocki allowed only three hits over 6 2/3 innings, while striking out 11 Whittier batters. The loss dropped Stocki.s record on the season 3-4, but he has pitched far better than his record would indicate. He has struck out 82 batters in 49 innings pitched, and has an ERA of 1.14. Opponents are batting just .177 against him.

The news was much better for the Rams on Wednesday, as they earned a hard fought 2-1 win over Greater Lawrence. Greater Lawrence jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning, but the Rams bounced right back with two in the bottom of the first, and the

lead held up behind the tremen- dous pitching of Sean Turner.

The Rams scored their runs when Dust in LaRoche singled to lead off the inning and then scored on a double by Wilmington's Matt Hogg. After Hogg advanced to third on a passed ball he scored on a fielder,s choice by fellow Wilmington native Kyle Browne.

"They hit a home run with two outs to put us down, but we did a nice job coming right back," Bloom said. "I don't think either coach felt the score would stay that way for the entire game, but the pitching was outstanding."

While the hitting may have struggled in these two games, the pitching as Bloom said, was outstanding. With Stocki and Turner on the hill, the Rams feel they have a chance to win every game In fact, the entire staff, including Tewksbury's John Sholl and Scott Johnson has had a great season.

"We have a team ERA of under 2.00," Bloom said. "We knew it would be a strength for us coming in and it has not dis- appointed. Turner gave a great effort and showed great senior leadership, and Steve has just been outstanding, but has had some tough luck."

After splitting the first two games of the week, the Rams were primed for a big show- down at Tyngsboro on Friday. The teams entered the game tied atop the CAC large, and the winner would clearly be in the driver's seat. Things looked good for the Rams in the top of the first, when Howie Deardorff blasted a three run homer to

give his team the early lead, but the Rams could not hold the lead and dropped a 10-4 deci- sion to the Tigers.

"We had a great start, but unfortunately for the first time all season, out defense really let us down," Bloom said. "We made four or five errors and made some mistakes that were really uncharacteristic for us."

Only two of Tyngsboro's 10 runs, an indicator of just what Bloom was referring to. In the loss, Hogg once again stood out, banging two more hits. Hogg leads the team with 24 hits and a .420 batting average. He has also walked 10 times this season, and five of those walks have been intentional.

"Everyone knows who he is this year and he still is getting done," Bloom said. "And he will do whatever it takes to win. Against Whittier he dropped a great bunt and then stole sec- ond and third. He will do what- ever it takes whether it at the plate or in the field."

The Rams will wrap up their season with tow games this week, on Wednesday against greater Lowell and Friday against Whittier. There is still a slim shot at the CAC title and the Rams are very much alive for a spot in the vocational tournament, but regardless of those honors, the goal remains the same for Bloom and his players.

"We just want to play well over the next week so we are at our best when tournament play begins," Bloom said.

Under 12 girls reel off three straight victories The Wilmington Girls U12

Thtlndercats have reeled off 3 straight wins and a tie to put them! in second place in their MYSL sub division. A tough open- ing loss to a strong Revere squad 1-0, which featured a second half of' total domination by Wilniington. included a great shot by^Stefany Barcellos that caught the Jeft post and rolled along the goal'line only to be cleared away.

The Thundercats then turned things around in a hurry. They rolled into Hanscom and Liz Libe'racki struck first with a blis-

tering shot from the 18 yard line to open the scoring. She was fol- lowed up Liz Cranell who racked up the last 2 goals from the left side from great midfield support from Michelle Worthington, and Jackie Mailey.

Next the girls hosted Wakefield at Shawsheen and the "Thunder" rolled in another great perfor- mance as Kay la Davidson opened the scoring with a great run up the left side finished by a nice left foot to the corner off a nice feed from midfielder Nicole Coccoluto. Liz Cranell struck again with a

great shot from the middle off a pass from Sara Colosimo. The 3-0 shutout was preserved with a great left handed stop by Chelsie Babcock on a blistering shot to the top corner. Chelsie later came out to notch the final goal off a great pass from Colette Pierce. The powerful Lincoln squad came to town in one of the closest, toughest matches the girls have played.

With minutes remaining, Wilmington punched out a victo- ry 3-2 off a great shot by mid- fielder Allison Collins. Liz

Liberacki opened the scoring with a great shot from center for- ward, and great pressure offense work from Amelia Woodbury and Elizbeth Himmel forced an "own goal" off a scrum in front of the Lincoln net. Randi Davis, Tar a VanVranken, Stef Barcellos and Kelsea Maguire put up a strong wall of defense holding the prolif- ic Lincoln scoring machine to 0 goals in the second half.

A rematch with the tough Revere team that had handed the Cats their only loss proved to be an uphill battle, from the compe-

tition as well as the field they played on! The game was 0-0 going into the final 8 minutes when Revere broke the ice. The last five minutes of play dis- played the heart and soul of the Wilmington crew as Rachel Sheehan made some great plays on the left side to keep the pres- sure on the Revere net. With less than 2 minutes left Shannon Maggio saved the day with great perseverence breaking through the wall of defense Revere set up, to tie the score Amelia Woodbury made a fantastic stop on a break-

away to preserve the tie. All in all its been a great first half of the season!! Coaches Mike Walter and Mike are proud of the girls' hard work and good sportsman- ship!!!! and are looking forward to the Memorial Day Tournament in Billerica!

Under 9A girls enjoy busy weekend of soccer The Wilmington U9A girls had a

busy1 weekend, visiting Wakefield on-" Saturday and hosting Burlington on Sunday. In Wakefield on a soggy but fast field, the Wildcats carried the play and had many scoring chances. Starting in net for the Wildcats was Marissa Lena, the defense featured Kimberly Woods and Emily Barrasso with Taylor O'gyrne, Holly Niemiec and Jacqueline Kennedy playing the striker positions.

The Wildcats move the ball in the Wakefield zone, on many scoring drives but the ball was always a little out of reach for that'last drive to the net for the Wilmington offense. Midway

through the first half Holly was hurt on a play and was helped off the field, but later returned to play an incredible second half in net.

In the second half with Holly in net, Jackie Parece and Gianna Tummino were on defense. The offense was made up with Alliy- Cat Gemellaro, Michelle Woods and Colleen Brothers. The wild- cats again brought the play to the Wakefield zone an many rushes, but could sneak the ball by the keeper. The two teams battled it out until the closing minutes of the game when Wakefield got through the Wildcat defense and scored during a scrum in from of the net, for a 1-0 win.

On Sunday the Wildcats hosted Burlington. Holly started in net and showed no fear throwing her- self into the middle of the charg- ing Burlington offense to make save after save. The Wildcats used a great passing game to move the ball up the field numer- ous times to get within inches of scoring. Jacqueline, Colleen and Gianna worked tirelessly to move the ball into the Burlington zone on several shifts.

On defense Jackie and Emily

kept constant pressure on the opponent's forwards forcing them away from the net. In the second half Marissa started in net and Holly moved to offense and com- bined with Taylor and Kimberly, who had to be helped off the field earlier in the game, for two great scoring chances. These girls never gave up as shown by the efforts of Michelle and Alliy-Cat towards the end of the game to

bring the ball into the Burlington zone.

At the end the score was 2-0 Burlington, but the Wildcats never lost their team spirit. The girls travel to Billerica for their Memorial Day tournament next weekend.

Princeton vs. Columbia The crowds gathered at the

Shawsheen fields for this back and forth game. Princeton led by Sam Alatalo, Steve Parrott and Tommy Thompson got the crowd jumping out of their seats.

Under 10B girls face Melrose in tough match There was an incredible

match up in Melrose with the Wilmington GU10B travel soc- cer team battling it out for first place in their division. The win- ner virtually guaranteed a trip to the Commissioner's Cup and the loser needing to hope for a Wild card spot.

The weather was dreary, but the level of intensity was noth- ing like the weather. Both squads played an outstanding game. Cristina Wilson was solid as keeper and Emily Schuh and Cara Kusa were fantastic on defense. From the beginning, Rachel Grabar and Valerie Belding pressured the Melrose goal. It became quickly appar- ent to Melrose that they had a fight on their hands if they wanted to remain undefeated for much longer. It was amaz- ing to watch these young ladies maneuver the ball up and down the field, playing with all of their hearts. Not surprisingly the half ended in a scoreless tie.

In the second half opportuni- ties to score on both ends of the field multiplied. A small mis-

kick from Wilmington allowed the speedy Melrose player the one opportunity to capitalize, and we were behind by a goal. True to Wildcat form, the girls fought on. Victoria Beck, Katie Blanch, Lexi Arsenault and Lisa Hitchins were phenomenal in the midfield. Lauren Azevedo and Taylor Cushing both nar- rowly missed out on the equal- izing goal. Wilson, now working as sweeper, charged forward to threaten the Melrose offense. Unfortunately, time ran out before we were able to tie up the game.

Although the locals could not secure a trip to the Cup, they still have the hopes of a Wild card spot. And they also received high praise from the Melrose coach who acknowl- edges that Wilmington has an outstanding team that "gave them their best match of the season by far"!

Under 12-4 girls soccer team comes away with a win

On Saturday morning May 22nd the players of the Wilmington Girls U12-4 Soccer Team stepped out of the warm confines of their parents' cars into the cool air, with a steady stream of rain falling from the spring sky. While most kids their age were on the couch under a blanket watching Sponge Bob Square Pants these girls were doing warm up drills on a damp field behind an ele- mentary school in Chelmsford.

The girls' last win was 3 weeks ago. They had a come from behind 2-2 tie vs. Waltham and then a tough 2-0 loss to Lincoln. With a short roster the girls knew they had their hands full and would be in for a battle. But then again those are the conditions that this team seems to thrive in.

There were quite a few posi- tional changes made in the ros- ter to try to give the team a spark. The way it turned out you might say it was more like an inferno than a spark.

One change, which wasn't realized until halftime, was to leave "stonewall keeper" Kelly , Duffy in for the second half, after shutting down Chelmsford in the first half. Except for a goal from a nice shot on a penalty kick Kelly ate up every shot that came her way. With Kelly guarding the twine for the entire game it gave Jessica Lees the opportunity to play in the field for the whole game. You might say that Jessica was the "gas can" that ignited the inferno.

With Kelly Flaherty and Alyssa Fiorentino on the for- ward line, flanking Jessica in the middle, the Chelmsford defense was immediately under pressure. This pressure led to a free kick for Wilmington between the Chelmsford eigh- teen and the midfield line. Stopper Stefany Mason took the kick and launched a beautiful rising kick over the keeper's head into the back of the twine.

The inferno was just begin- ning. Jessica scored on a nice hard left footed shot that was disallowed for a handball.

Stoppers Jenny Garrard and Chelsey Westerberg once again always seemed to be in the right place at the right time feeding the ball up to their aggressive forwards. Courtney See was back in her forward position firing off some good shots of her own. Meaghan Souza played forward showing off her speed and ball skills.

Wilmington kept the pressure on in the second half. Midfielder Heather Kealos jumped on a loose ball and drove a beautiful high shot from outside the eighteen over the keeper's head into the net. Evidently one of the Chelmsford defenders got a hand on the ball as it was going in and the ref did not count the goal and awarded Wilmington a penalty kick. Jessica drove a low hard shot into the right cor- ner that no one could have stopped.

Wilmington again kept swarming all over the ball. Haley Robarge and Lauren Cole once again were in the middle of the mix using their tremen- dous ball skills and excellent field vision to get the ball to the open player. Kaitlyn McGuire and Samantha Reed got a chance to show off their all around ability playing defense, mid-field and forward during the game.

Fiona Gately got a chance to show off her speed and defen- sive abilities. Twice she ran down Chelmsford forwards and broke up plays that could have been great scoring opportuni- ties. Kelly Flaherty and Alyssa Fiorentino did a super job showing off their soccer abili- ties with Kelly at forward and Alyssa at mid-field.

Once again with the girls working together as a team another goal could not be far away. Lauren made a nice pass out of the crowd to Stefany who laid a nice pass over to Jessica who blasted a shot into the worn out twine in the back of the Chelmsford net. Superb team effort girls! Congratulations on a well deserved win!

IFS Women's professional fastpitch Softball league

§gj New England

Riptide By PAUL FEELY JL»

A new professional sports team has set up shop north of Boston, and a longtime local coach has signed on to help ensure it's inaugural season is a success.

The New England Riptide, located in Lowell, is one of six teams involved in the National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) softball league, which gets underway June 1 with a 60 game schedule. NPF is a national women's professional fastpitch softball league. The league will provide an opportu- nity for outstanding female athletes to compete at a professional level and will give younger players role models to look up to and a higher level to aspire to.

Burlington High School varsity softball coach Mary McGinn has signed on as an assistant coach for the team, which gives her an opportunity to return to her roots in the sport of

women's professional fastpitch softball. The Riptide will join the Akron (Ohio)

Racers, Arizona (Tucson) Heat, Texas (Houston) Thunder, New York/New Jersey (Upper Montclair, N.J.) Juggernauts, and Sacremento (California) Sunbirds in the inaugural slate of games. The team is owned by the husband and wife tandem Joe and Lauri Adlman of Andover, and it is their first venture into the realm of professional sports ownership - and all the potential headaches that go along with it.

Players in the league come from across the country, and include past Olympians, past United States national team members, players from the former professional softball league (WPSL), college world series winners and participants, and other outstanding former college players. The team will value talent, and has several local players and coaches on the roster.

The league has a minimum age of 21. The league values the importance of an education, and therefore many players fall into the 21-30 age bracket, because many complete their college degrees before coming to the league.

The team, though it has yet to step on the field for an official game, already has credibility with many fans of fastpitch softball after the Adlman's hired Ralph Raymond as head coach. Raymond coached the United States softball team to Olympic gold medals in Atlanta in 1996 and Australia in 2000. McGinn adds her own years of experience on the softball diamond to the mix.

McGinn, a member of the Burlington High School Class of 1957, earned four varsity letters in basketball her high school year, and was a member of the wining team at the Ashby Softball

Tournament in 1956 and 1957, and was voted MVP of the tournament both years.

Burlington High had no softball team at the time, but McGinn was asked to play in two baseball games. Upon graduation, she went on to play for the Ray Bestos Brakettes, a professional soft- ball team, and was a member of the First International Softball Tournament in

BURLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY SOFTBALL COACH MARY MCGINN, above, has signed on as an assistant coach for the New England Riptide, female softball league. She has coached the Burlington High softball team for the past 23 years. Players in the league come from across the country.

Burlington High softball team for the past 23 years, and was a member of the inaugural class of inductees into the Burlington High School Athletic Hall of Fame in 2000. She was also chosen for honorable mention by the Daily Times Chronicle for Athletes of the Century throughout the local area.

The team will play its home games at Martin Field in Lowell, which has been undergoing modifications during the spring to get ready for the team and its expected fans. Games are expected to feature fan- friendly activities for young and old alike, special events, giveaways, autograph ses- sions, as well as food and beverages. Riptide souvenirs

will also be available lor sale as well.

Because the league is just starting out, average player salaries are anticipated to be low in relation to' other sports The average NPF salary will bo approximately $1,500 to $5,000 for the sea- son, which will run from June through August. However, more established players in the league such United States Olympians Michele Smith, Danielle Henderson, and Christa Williams, could command a salary of between $10,000 and $11,000 for the same time frame.

For those unfamiliar with the game of fastpitch soft- ball, the average NPF game

will be seven innings long and last approximately two and one-half hours. The typi- cal start time will be 7 pm. with games falling on days between Tuesday and Sunday, with up to as many as five games a week and one game per day.

The distance between the pitching mound and home plate is 43 feet and the bases are 60 feet apart. The out- field fence distance is a little longer than the requirements^ in NCAA softball (210 feet* down the lines and up to 230 feet in center field I.

The Riptide hope to create a local buzz by featuring three players that hail from

necessary thing that we must remember to do - WAKE UP!...

An apartment superinten- dent in Winchester told Mike and Betty Coughlin, "This is a very quiet and exclusive neigh- borhood. Do you play a musical instrument like a saxophone, piano or drums? Or do you have a pet like a dog, cat or a talking parrot?"

A very confused Mike Coughlin couldn't restrain him- self as he shouted, "NO!" to all the questions.

"I must admit though sir, my wife Bette has a foutain pen that SQUEEKS whenever she writes with it!"...

Some people don't dare to make a move before consulting an ASTROLOGY CHART.

LAUGHTER is the shock obsorber of life's POT HOLES...

Many of you, I'm sure, know the feeling of SHAKING HANDS with someone who has the warmth and vigor of a FROZEN FISH.

Well, what a difference this is - Helen Keller remarked after meeting Mark Twain, "I can feel the TWINKLE of his eye in

his handshake..." . ,.. My late Uncle John Shea of

North Reading was a very^( OUTSPOKEN man. He told a j politician one day, "I WOULD- ;| NT VOTE for you if you were ;; the ANGEL GABRIEL." _ J

The politician who happened to be running for mayor replied, "John, if I were the Angel Gabriel, you wouldn't be in my CONSTITUENCY!"...

Folks, was there a PENNY'" CANDY STORE in your neigh1 ■' rjorrmnn" ,i-i,.,„ irnn wprp GROW- ING UP?

Well, there was one that I,' remember that was owned by a'' wonderful man named Henry' ' Kappa. A little boy or girl would' walk in holding on to a penny"'_ for dear life, or on very rare" occasions, a nickel.

Then, the youngster would stand in front of the candy'.' showcase for five minutes or so, . trying to decide what they " should buy. Meanwhile, a very patient Henry would try to help '. solve the kid's dilemma.

Folks, I can't help but stop and think of how the world has ' changed and gone mad with ' speed and there's NO TIME for anything or anyone.

Where are the Henry.' Kappas, who treated every little boy and girl with DIGNITY and RESPECT and above all ' else, LOVE?...

."SHREK II " A GOOD TAKE MOVIE: "SHREK 2"

GRADE: ♦*** It's rare when a sequel is

on par with the original hit that spawned it, but this one is the real deal.

The big green guy is back with his new bride, Fiona, and sidekick Donkey (Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy reprise their roles in all three cases), and the storyline picks up almost right where the first movie left off. Shrek and Fiona, having just wed, make a journey to meet her parents, and the usual problems with inlaws develop between Shrek and his new family members, played by John Cleese and Julie Andrews.

Antonio Banderas' por- trayal of Puss in Boots, although brief on screen, almost steals the movie.

Some of the jokes may be over the heads of the little ones in the audience, but they will give the parents something to smile about. As with the first one, knowing going into it that the Shrek universe pokes fun at the Disney Corporation any opportunity it gets helps one to see some of the more sub- tle jokes.

SHORTTAKES MOVIE: "TROY"

GRADE: *♦* Director Wolfgang

Peterson brings his vision of the fall of Troy to the big screen, and in this vision Greece is populated by Hollywood hunks and epic battles are fought over the love of a single woman

Brad Pitt takes on the role of Achilles, Eric Bana por- trays Hector of Troy, and heart-throb Orlando Bloom plays Paris, a young prince who beds Helen, wife of a Greek King, and eventually takes her back to Troy with him, thereby setting off a war between the combined forces of Greece, led by King Agamemnon (but actually headed up by Hercules) and the city of Troy, led by Hector.

Pitt plays Achilles like some sort of ancient rock star, spending a night with a different woman wherever he and his army happen to pitch their tent, while yearning for his name to be immortalized. Bana is very good as Hector, bringing the same sense of family and honor to this role

that he did to the movie "Black Hawk Down"

The battles are well-chore- ographed, and the special effects are excellent (espe- cially the shots early on of the Greek fleet sailing towards Troy, and of course the sight of the Trojan Horse rolling inside the city walls). One wishes that Pitt had brought a little more to the table than his looks when playing a character as com- plex a Achilles, a nearly-per- fect killing machine who yearns to be remembered for all time while forsaking the Greek gods and his own her- itage.

MOVIE: "VAN HELS- ING"

GRADE: ** At times, this fantasy film

is a decent monster movie, though it ultimately relies a little too heavily on the com- puter-animated eye candy for its own good.

Hugh Jackman plays the title role, a hero who heads off to rid the world of vam- pires, werewolves and other undead evil doers, who hooks up with Kate Beckinsale's romantic lead character along the way. While battling minor vampires along the way, his bloody trail of course leads him to the home of all monsters, Transylvania, where he even- tually takes on the godfather of all bloodsuckers, Dracula himself.

Jackman and Beckinsale are good together, inserting wit and playful flirtation into some otherwise poorly-writ- ten scenes. Where the film begins to fall off the rails so to speak is when the mon- sters begin to run amok, and the computer animation gets a little too cute for its own good. A decent precursor to the special-effect spectacles that are sure to come during the summer months.

MOVIE: "GODSEND" GRADE: *

This wannabe thriller about the dangers of cloning should have heeded its own message before filmmakers decided to clone every cliche from horror movies through the years.

The story centers around two parents, played by Greg Kinnear and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos), who lose

WITH HONOR AND GLORY

Woburn: raising the flag

"A special permit request from the Woburn Kiwanis Club for its annual Flag Day festivities at Library Park was given a favorable vote from the Planning Board, though this year's event includes a change from years past," notes the Woburn edi- tion of the "Daily Times Chronicle."

"According to attorney Mark Salvati, representing the Kiwanis Club, this year's event will start on Thursday, June 17, to allow the carnival the three nights it needs to make setting up financially feasible.

Salvati said he has been talking with relevant city officials, including the Woburn Police Department, the Fire Department and the Department of Public Works, and there doesn't appear to be any problem with the additional night.

"The matter received a favorable fi-0 vote from the Planning Board and will head back to City Council for a final vote.

"The Flag Day festivities conclude with the traditional fireworks on Saturday night, June 19...."

Wakefield: in the Navy

"'Accelerate your life' is not just a recruiting slogan for the Navy, but it's also a motto from some Sailors who

have made it their way of life," notes the Wakefield edi- tion of the "Daily Times Chronicle."

"A Sailor can perform the simplest task with the utmost care, and in that moment set themselves apart from the rest of his peers.

"In recognition of these Sailors who have continued to stand out, U.S. Atlantic Fleet announced their nomi- nees for the 2003 Sailor of the Year (SOY).

"Among those Sailors is Petty Officer 1st Class John Carey, brother of Stephen Carey of Wakefield. Carey is a sonar technician for USS Cole (DDG 67) homeported in Norfolk, Virginia.

"'I am the anti-submarine warfare division leading petty officer, command anti- terrorism training officer and the command drug and alcohol program advisor,' said Carey.

"He added. 'I'm responsi- ble for training watch- standers the proper resixnise in terrorist attacks, as well as small craft attacks under- way during restricted maneuvering situations.'

"Carey represents one of fourteen commands that report to Commander Naval Surface Forces Atlantic. He will vie for the final Sailor of the Year title with not only his fellow nominees but also with other Atlantic Fleet forces as well.

"The SOY program has been a part of naval tradition for the past 30 years and is meant to recognize top enlisted Sailors.

"During the comi>etition, Atlantic Fleet surface, air and submarine forces will each choose a sea and shore SOY who will compete at the fleet headquarters level.

"The three sea SOY candi- dates will compete against each other for the Atlantic Sea SOY; all shore candi- dates will compete for the one shore SOY slot in a later competition...."

Wilmington/ Tewksbury: back at home

"Scott Gallant, our graph- ic artist here at the Town Crier, is home from military duty in the Middle East," notes the "Wilmington Town Crier."

"You remember Scott. He was home from Kuwait for a couple of weeks last October. We published pictures of him in this paper. One shot showed him on top of a deserted Iraqi tank, on which he had proudly scrawled 'The Town Crier' with a per- manent marker. Another pic- ture showed him and his fel- low servicemen with movie star Bruce Willis, who paid the troops a visit to boost morale.

"Scott touched down at Fort Drum in New York on

March 7. He arrived home safely on March 15. We wel- comed him back here at work on April !">. His duty as a sergeant and chemical engineer in the United States Army Reserve at Camp Arifjan has Ixn-n completed.

"Naturally. Scott missed his wife and daughter, who turned 14 years old during the 14 months that he was away, lighting the War on Terror. He also sorely missed the things the rest of us take for granted, like clean, func- tional toilets and comfortable IKXIS Scott had to use one of

those dreaded poll able po'._ ties in the d< sort, and. al l)est, he only got to sleep on cots and cheap mattresses.

"More than anything, Scott says he missed his lib- erty. •

"'This biggest thing $ missed was my overall free- dom, my freedom to bo mysell and do \vh;,\ I wanl lo do.' he says When you i v free, you can go to the store, watch a movie, wear what you want to wear. Yeah I missed my freedom:. Everything else just falls underneath that.'

REMEMBERING THE GOOD STUFF

Interaction in North Reading

"The North Reading High School Interact Club has fin- ished a month-long initiative to raise awareness and funds to fight the spread of AIDS throughout the world," notes the "North Reading Transcript."

"Junior Julia Hardy creat- ed a brochure explaining the causes, symptoms and diag- nosis of HIV/AIDS as well as jts treatment and prevention. The brochure included a cre- ative piece authored by Hardy, AIDS facts and con- tact numl>ers.

"About 25 Interact Club meml>ers sold red AIDS rib- bons, raising $150 to benefit the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts.

"In the words of the club brochure: it has been more than two decades since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Since then, more than GO million j>eople world- wide have become infected, including 20 million who have already died.

"The majority of those newly infected today - both in this country and abroad are under 25. If the current trends persist, by 2020 AIDS could claim up to 100 million lives worldwide, putting it on track to be the worst epidem- ic in human history.'

"North Reading's Interact Club has approximately 140 memlwrs who participate in different projects of commu- nity service throughout the year. Club members must perform five hours of service each semester."

Recognition in Tewksbury

"Local students weren't the only ones who got report cards," notes the "Tewksbury Town Crier."

"All schools in Tewksbury got one as well.

"For the second year in a row, the state has graded all schools in the Commonwealth to comply with federal education laws under the No Child Left Behind Act. This year, stu- dents brought home the report card for Tewksbury Public Schools alongside their own grades.

"Each school in Tewksbury is required to pro- vide a copy of its rei>ort card to the parents of students who attend that particular facility. Also, the school department is required to provide a copy of the dis- trict's report card if one is requested by a parent or guardian.

"The data for the report cards are provided by the performances of students on the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) exam. The MCAS data is broken down into areas of content, grade levels, and particular student populations. Comparisons against state information and related data compiled in 2003 are included in the report cards.

"The purpose of the report card Ls to provide par- ents and guardians with information alxuit the acade- mic achievement of the stu- dents, the professional quali-

fication of the faculty and the goals of the school,' said Dr. Christine McGrath, the

Superintendent of Tewksbury Schools. 'This information will allow parents and guardians to determine how the school is progressing in the area of student achieve ment and in meeting their annual goals.'

"Report cards provide data in three sections.

"The percentages of teach- ers who are licensed and core academic classes taught by highly qualified teachers are found in the first section.

"i am pleased to report that we have achieved 100 percent in both categories,' said McGrath..."

Organization in Reading

"When an important politi- cal issue arises, how do the citizens of Reading come together to make a fair deci- sion?" notes the Reading edi- tion of the "Daily Times Chronicle."

"They bring the problem before Town Meeting for ojxin debate and a vote.

"Fifth graders from the Joshua Eaton and Birch Meadow Schools learned just how this early form of town democracy works for the people in their own Special Town Meeting.

"Under the direction of Reading Town Manager Peter Hechenbleikner and Town Moderator Alan Foulds, the students experienced firsthand the structure and process of Town Meeting in an event augmenting the stu- dents' studies of Colonial

Over 400 people "Walk 'n Mass »

By DOUG WOOD-BOYLE

Walking is widely recog- nized in the health and fitness community as the best form of exercise and, as such, many people have invested money in such items as treadmills for their homes, while others go to local shopping malls so they can walk in all kinds of inclement weather. However, there are still many people who feel that getting their exercise should be combined with get- ting them to a certain point or bettering their education.

Betty Foley of Sudbury is one of these people, as is Ken Holt of Reading. Both of them belong to Walk 'n Mass Volkss- port Club, which has been fringing people of like minds together for 19 years. J "Volkssporting is a great

sport," Holt said. "We encour- age people of all ages to join."

If all of this has a Germanic ring to it, it's because Volkss- porting or peoples sports was first started in Germany after World War II, and became pop- ular in the early 1950's. Mem- bers of the American Armed Forces serving in Germany started joining the groups and eventually brought the sport to back to this country when they came home.

According to Foley, a co- founder of Walk 'n Mass, "The Germans were trying to get people to be more non-competi- tive."

By 1979, several American cities close to Army and Air Force bases had groups and the American Volkssport Associa- tion (AVA) was formed. It is a part of the Internationalaler Volkssportverband IVV or International Federation of Popular Sports), which has

chapters all over Europe and Asia.

Foley, who was a nurse in the Air Force, said, "It has become more civilian orient- ed."

Walk 'n Mass is the succes- sor to the former Volkssport club at Fort Devens, where Holt first became involved, while serving as an Army Reservist. That group folded when the Fort closed.

However, Foley. Bob Mar- shall of Waltham and another person had already started Walk 'n Mass. The first walk was organized during the fall of 1985 in Concord and attracted 500 people, mostly through word of mouth.

More and more people start- ed to get involved and in 1987 and '88 the club really grew.

"Now we are over 400 mem- bers strong," Foley said.

According to Holt, there are three F's - Fun, Fitness and Fellowship - in the reason why the club is so popular. He described them as, "The fun of exploring new places and in the diversity of the walks; the fit- ness we get from the exercise; and the fellowship we get from meeting people on the trail and at monthly meetings."

Foley said, "You could go to the mall every morning or go to the cellar and use a tread- mill, but this is more exciting. Doing the same three-mile route every day would be bor- ing to me."

Foley added that health is a big motivator for people to join the organization. She noted that for every mile a person walks, 100 calories are burned.

"Whether you walk or run takes 100 calories," Foley said. "Walking just takes a little longer."

She also noted that regular walking keeps joints agile and helps to stave off the debilitat- ing effects of some diseases.

"Walks are good cardiac rehabilitation therapy," Foley said. The people can walk at their own pace."

Most of the walks are split into two parts; a 10 kilometer (6.2 miles) or five kilometer (3.1 miles) route. The walks are planned sc that there is a good starting point with appropriate facilities available to the walk- ers.

Foley added, "It is really a great sport; it costs very little. You see a lot of nice places and you meet a lot of nice people."

She recommends that people thinking of joining the organi- zation go the website (www.ava.org/clubs/walkn- mass) and try a day walk before joining up for the year round season. The season usu- ally runs from Patriot's Day to October 31.

The website describes the following types of walks:

"Day Events are usually held on Saturday, Sunday or a Holiday.

Evening Walks are held on the second Tuesday of the month at 6 PM during May, June, July and August

Year Round Walks and Sea- sonal Walks are self-guided walks using maps and instruc- tions picked up at the Start Point. Year Round Walks are held most days throughout the year whereas seasonal walks have a limited season. Most are open dawn to dusk.

Group (Guided) Walks are held frequently for WnM Year Round and Seasonal Walks.

County Walks promote excit- ing walks in new places (coun- ties) and enhance the sociabili- ty of volkssporting.

Summer Strolls are group walks of our seasonal and year round events on Tuesday nights to further increase friendship and walking.

♦Group Walks (of Seasonal and Year Round Walks) meet at the Start Point. All Group Walks are subject to good weather conditions."

"We try to end the walks in October because the weather gets iffy," Foley explained.

Although the premise behind the organization was to provide a non-competition sport, Foley admits there is some competition in the club. Every walk has its own unique

Holt described it as "a histo- ry and conservation walk."

According to Foley, "We try to do walks with historical themes so that people will learn something."

However, several walks are planned along the coast line or in scenic areas so the views can be enjoyed.

The group is working to attract more youth to its mem- bership. They consider them- selves a "family oriented" orga- nization.

This week, Walk 'n Mass and the AVA are working with the Girl Scouts of Rhode Island Council to sponsor a walk in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.

According to the website "Woonsocket is an Indian name meaning "thunder mist", and is appropriately named for the Blackstone River wends and winds in every direction provid- ing the downtown area with ample waterfront, and thun- ders through a narrow channel producing the Woonsocket Falls, the largest on the Black- stone River.

According to Foley, about 25 of the WnM members have accomplished the feat of doing a walk in every state of the Union. Another competition among the members is an attempt to do the walks with themes in alphabetical order.

"Z, X, Q, and U are hard to get," Foley said.

Walks are available in every state and are listed in a brochure available to club members. Foley noted that many club members plan their vacations around certain walks they wish to participate in.

There are many walks avail- able throughout the season. Many are done in conjunction with special events, such as Town Days or Historic House visits.

A walk in Reading in 2000 was done in conjunction with the Town Reunion. The walk started at the YMCA and went through the Town Forest to the Foster Emerson House.

tfieir beloved eight-year-old Soo>Adam in an accident. During their grief, as they are; arranging his funeral, they are approached by Dr. Richard Wells, played by Robert De Niro, who entices them with an offer to clone ahd bring their son back.

They accept the offer, and th,ings go well until Adam reaches the age where he originally died, and begins seeing strange things. He starts acting even stranger, anrj deadlier, and the film

continues its headlong down- ward spiral from there.

The story is ridiculous as it is, when one starts to actu- ally think about how this couple pulls off resurrecting their son without anyone noticing. The performances are mailed in, none more so then De Niro, who looks like he filmed this during a nap while he was resting up to appear in the "Meet the

MOVIE: "MAN ON FIRE"

GRADE: *** Denzel Washington stars

in the latest, and best, revenge-type movie to hit the

big screens. Washington plays Creasy,

a former CIA assassin with a major drinking problem who visits a former friend of his, played by Christopher Walken, in Mexico and ends up taking a job as a body- guard for a rich couple's daughter, Lupita (played by Dakota Fanning). Bodyguards are sought after because there is a kidnap- ping every 60 minutes in Latin America, with many of the victims ending up dead.

A botched suicide attempt by Creasy opens up his eyes to the joys life has to offer,

WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY, MAY 26. 27. 2004-PAGE S-7

including his relationship as a mentor a protector to Lupita. When she is eventual- ly kidnapped and feared dead, Creasy embarks on a killing spree, wiping out any- one and everyone who may have been involved or profit- ed by the action.

This would be a typical action movie, if not for the interaction between Washington and Fanning. The two are excellent, and one can see a genuine rela- tionship starting to build before it is torn apart. Washington is also very believable as a man strug-

gling to put his own demons behind him, while working to rid the world of those at the end of his gun barrel.

Walken is also good as Creasy's friend Rayburn. If this were a 'Rambo' movie, Walken would be playing the part of Colonel Trautman, right down to this line - "Creasy's art is death, and he's about to paint his mas- terpiece."

Bicycle Safety Day

BICYCLE TECHNICIAN KYLE CATALDO, above, checks over the bicycle of Matt O'Connell, 10, of Stoneham as dad, Tim looks on. Through the generosity of Eric Barrus of City Cycle, numerous bikes were actually repaired on site and at no cost to the public. At right, Stoneham Officer Joe Ponzo and Jessica Stefanelli, 7, get ready to go through the marked obstacle course at the Coldwell Banker offices in Stoneham. Coldwell's Jim Giordano organized the community safety event. (Don Young photos)

Growing good exercise habits Crowded gyms and countless

hours spent on a treadmill may be one way to exercise, but wouldn't enjoying the sunshine and fresh air while spending time with family and friends be much more pleasant?

Well, if the great outdoors is more appealing than the typical gym, then here's a little insider tip that gardening enthusiasts have known for ages - garden- ing is a fabulous form of exer- cise.

"All the digging, lifting, pulling and twisting that hap- pens as you garden in your backyard or even in smaller container gardens uses major muscle groups and helps you stay in shape," explained

Charlie Nardozzi, chief garden- ing office consultant for the Hilton Garden Inn hotels.

"It makes perfect sense. Turning compost is a great alternative to weight lifting. Raking simulates the exact

motions of a rowing machine. Mowing the lawn is comparable to walking or jogging on a treadmill. And digging and shoveling are both aerobic and muscle building activities."

Studies that were performed at Stanford University's Center for Research in Disease Prevention indicated that gar- dening provides a light to mod- erate degree of exercise.

Depending upon the garden- ing activity, half an hour in the garden can burn the equivalent amount of calories as one might burn while jogging for the same length of time.

Exercising results in lower- ing blood pressure and choles-

terol levels which may help to prevent ailments like diabetes and heart disease, while slow- ing the progression of osteo- porosis.

The health benefits of gar- dening are not limited to only adults either. For children, gar- dening offers more than a rea- son to play in the dirt. While gardening, school subjects like science, history, economics and language arts can come to life.

For more information on the health benefits of gardening, go online to www.garden.org.

Why pay rent when this lovely, generous sized condo awaits you. With interest rates remaining at historic lows it makes good financial sense to buy rather than give your money to your landlord. The equity in your condominium home will provide the financial basis for the purchase of your next home.

Situated right outside Woburn center, this one bed condo awaits your personal touch. Built in 1986, this metic- ulously maintained 630 sq ft., one bedroom condominium fea- tures many amenities which include central air. new dish- washer and garbage disposal. Recent improvements include a newly renovated kitchen, com- pletely renovated bath with granite countertop and freshly painted walls thought.

The sun splashed living room is generously sized and features wall to wall carpet, giving it a modern appeal

while preserving the warmth one feels when returning home. The large bedroom is big enough to accommodate your furniture and provides plenty of closet space. All you need to do is move in and grace with your personal touch.

The great condition of this unit aside "Location, Location, Location" tells the true value of this home. Situated right out- side Woburn center it is conve- nient to shopping and has easy access to both Rt. 93 and 95. For the young professional MBTA service is just steps away. At the top of the street is the Express Bus that will bring you directly to State Street Sta- tion in the heart of Boston's financial district making this a commuters dream!

A low condo fee, low taxes and energy bill add to the eco- nomic benefits of the rent vs.

buy equation, livery month that goes by, you are missing

the opportunity to gain equity in a home of your own. 'Equity is the difference between what your home is worth and what you still owe on it.) This is money you can't afford to throw away!
