In June, Troop 1122 honored their Scouts with a court of honor held at West Hill Park. The court of honor is a ceremony that recognizes the Scouts who have met the requirements of any one of the Boy Scout ranks, merit badg-es, or other awards.

Scoutmaster Ryan Constable, with the help of his Scouts, recapped the year’s events through comedic retell-ings, noting accomplishments great and small.

Scout Trevor added to the recap with a throwing demonstration and, sepa-

rately, with a song and some whittling. The troop went on several campouts,

a rock climbing adventure, and attend-ed merit badge university. These are in addition to their regular meetings.

More than 35 merit badges were earned over the past six months includ-ing: Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the World, Personal Fitness, and Climbing.

Eight scouts earned rank including one Scout, two Tenderfoot, two First Class, one Life, and two Eagle Scout ranks.

Duo will appear at Douglas Orchard

Webster based folk trou-badours Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards and their studio band will perform Friday July 27 from 6-8 pm at Douglas Orchard during the Summer Concert Series. This concert has been made possible through a grant by the Douglas Cultural Council. Come and see the new pavilion at the farm! Audience members are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets. Concessions will be available from Douglas Orchard & Farm.

Local favorites Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards have recently returned from their ninth annual Massachusetts Walking Tour in which they performed 11 free community concerts. This year the troupe paddled along the Connecticut River and hiked their way through the Pioneer Valley. Mandeville & Richards as well as the MWT troupe have performed in Douglas many

times.Each summer since 2010

they have organized the “Massachusetts Walking Tour” where they hike the roads and trails of the Commonwealth, more than 100 miles in less than two weeks, in support of the arts in local communities along the way. Each evening they stop over in yet another Massachusetts town, putting on a free con-cert there, along with local performers and fellow artists who accompany them on their journey.

These annual two-week treks also raise awareness of the trails and greenways in Massachusetts, using music to make important connections. In the fall of 2017 Mandeville and Richards received official recognition before congress and were added to the con-gressional record by Senator Ed Markey for their efforts in the community through the Massachusetts Walking Tour.

WESTBOROUGH — On July 8, The Herb Chambers Companies, New England’s largest automotive dealer-ship group, hosted its third “Cars & Coffee” event of the 2018 season at his Ford of Westborough dealership located along Route 9. At the event, car enthusiasts gath-ered to showcase their pride and joys while admiring the prized hardware of other automotive and motorcycle devotees, exchanging stories about their cars and special experiences along the way.

Among the attendees was Uxbridge resident Ed Bedard, who brought his 1932 Ford coupe. This vehi-cle recently won the “Real Hot Rod Award” at the Goodguys 26th East Coast Nationals in New York.

Herb Chambers’ next “Cars & Coffee” event will take place on Sunday,

August 12, from 7-10 am at Herb Chambers Lexus of Sharon, located at 25 Providence Highway, along

Route 1 in Sharon. This fam-ily-friendly event is open to the public and admission is complimentary.

When offered the chance to interview one of the “27 beau-tiful, intelligent and talented young women from across the Commonwealth”, who par-ticipated in the recent 79th annual Miss Massachusetts Scholarship Pageant, this reporter jumped at the chance. However, a quick read of this young lady’s bio showed a psy-chology major and a niggling doubt crept in that it could end up with myself the one being interviewed.

But fear not, because Whitinsville’s very own Samantha White, second Runner Up, Miss South Coast 2018, had me totally at ease with her most charming personality.

In the world of these events, there are runners up and sec-ond runners up, and one of the

less usual aspects of this is step-ping in when the first crown holder is indisposed. That is what happened here. Due to injury, the original Miss South Coast (Megan Sylvia) was sud-denly not available and the first runner had in the meantime succeeded with another [pag-eant] title, leaving Samantha the next in line. And just six days to prepare!

When two months or more was the normal time for the young ladies to prepare, these few days became a rigorous time management schedule for Samantha to include wardrobe selection and interview prepa-ration, something she took eas-ily in her stride.

While the 2018 title, and $12,000 scholarship went to Gabriela Taveras of Lawrence, Samantha remains profoundly

People ask Place: My new car seems so complicated. Why do I have all this technology?

The Right answer: During our recent Classic Cruise we were able to see first hand the many differences in todays cars versus the cars of yes-teryear. The new cars had so much more in elec-tronics to increase performance, efficiency, com-fort and most importantly safety. The innovations many of us have simply grown to expect in our cars were not available in the 50’s, 60’s or even 70’s. Much of the now standard features were developed in just the last few decades. Federal regulation and of course customer demand have contributed to much of the new technology in the new cars. Even some of the new technology like your cell phone have sparked new tech in your cars. Airbags that were once only in the steering wheel now seem to come from everywhere and can create a complete “canopy” offering protec-

tion to passengers in every seating position. Ford even has available inflatable seat belts to provide rear passengers even more security. Anti-lock braking systems, stability control systems, adap-tive cruise control, automatic climate control, intermittent wipers, infotainment systems, all-wheel drive, 6 and 10 speed automatic transmis-sions, power windows and door locks, back up cameras, electronic ignition and fuel injection are just some of the things we have seen in todays cars that weren’t in those classic cars we love. In fact, did you know that in early F series pickups a passenger side windshield wiper was an extra cost option. We love those old cars and trucks. They sure are great to admire. Look closely at the new cars and trucks and marvel at the things they can do. The advancements are incredible and much more is coming to improve the next generation of transportation.

According to Bankrate.com as of 06/10/2018 the rate on a 30 year fixed loan was 4.37% which is down slightly from last month. We are continuing to see a very hot Real Estate Market. We have seen a change in the market over the last month or two. Inventory has been creeping up which is probably stemming from the rising values and sellers realiz-ing they can get a number they could not get before. I have had several calls in the last couple months from sellers deciding to sell just because they saw what we had sold another home sim-ilar to theirs for a price they couldn’t believe. This tells me even though we still see multi-

ple offers on homes in many areas and price ranges that our market is slowing and moving towards stabilization.

Today we have 1835 sin-gle family homes for sale in Worcester County compared to 6 months ago where we had 1315 single homes for sale. However, 12 months ago we had 1784 homes for sale so

inventory is slightly higher than where it was last year. The aver-age days on market is currently 95 days which is a 3.3% increase in days on market from last month. This shows inventory is slightly rising and homes are staying on the market a little lon-ger which again shows a shift in our market. If we look at homes sold over past 12 months com-pared to the same time for the previous year there is a small increase in sales of 0.2% and a 5.6% increase in average sales price while it is taking 16.3% less time to sell the homes this year than last year in Worcester County. This shows that prices

are still rising and homes are still selling quicker than a year ago. This shows that the change in the market is just happening because it is only affecting the current inventory but has not shown up in past sales data yet.

It is important to hire a Realtor familiar with your mar-ket especially in a market that is changing almost by the day. The biggest challenge right now is that the trend has been to price ahead of the market in an increasing market and now that we don’t have that same market we need to have more consider-ation around pricing to ensure our homes do not sit on the mar-ket. The right agent will ensure you get the most money for the house in the shortest amount of time. This market is still a beau-ty competition and you need to get your home in the best shape possible to get the most money but you may not be able to price higher ahead of the market or your home will be left behind while other homes sell.

Plants to deter bugsThe lazy, hazy, crazy days

of summer Nat King Cole sang about are here. Unfortunately, along with the “days of soda and pretzels and beer” come evenings of mosquitoes, ants and flea inva-sions. But, don’t run out for the insect spray yet. Summer bugs don’t have to turn your outdoor parties into an itching marathon if you combat the buzzing biters with strategic planting.

With public concern about chemical repellents escalating, growing crops of natural insect repellent plants and flowers is quickly becoming a first choice for many. Mother Nature’s bug deterrents are not only effective, they add beauty to the landscape and outdoor living space. Read on for the rundown on what vari-eties best chase away lawn and garden pests.

Note: Some herbs and plants are poisonous if applied to skin or ingested. Be aware of what you are planting (also check with local nursery or garden center on which plants are dangerous to pets).

Marigolds & mosqui-toes: Bright, brassy marigold buds command attention in the garden, but it’s their distinct odor that deters mosquito and other pesky bugs from invading their space. Marigolds do double duty when planted in pots and placed on decks and porches. The sturdy flowers not only add a pop of bright yellow and orange to an outdoor space; they are extremely effective at keeping bugs at bay. Easy to grow, potted marigolds are always on duty, and they can easily be moved at leisure to keep insects away.

Shoo Fly Yarrow: Yarrow, which also grows wild, is anoth-er effort free bug deterrent that is not only a hard worker, but a looker too! Yarrow’s fern like leaves and forever budding white flowers offer a complete season of fly control. For a double dose of bug repelling properties, fill bot-tles with sprigs of yarrow with a few marigolds mixed in. Use this “bug-off bouquet” as a center-

piece, or scatter several around during outdoor gatherings.

Yarrow also repels ants, mak-ing it a favorite plant with back-yard picnickers. Spread leaves and flowers in areas where ants are found.

Note: Do not plant yarrow near where pets congregate as the plant can be poisonous to animals.

Catnip: not just for Fluffy anymore: Catnip is very easy to grow, and the hardy perennial requires practically no attention! Cats love it, but mosquitoes don’t. In fact, a 2010 report by entomol-ogists at Iowa State University revealed catnip is ten times more effective than the highly controversial chemical DEET in repelling mosquitoes! Fast grow-ing catnip thrives planted in the ground or in container pots, which makes it an ideal candi-date to battle the buzzing insects. Try growing catnip in long deck rail pots to literally surround the outdoor sitting area with natural mosquito repellent.

Here’s how to take catnip to the next level of deterrent: a cat-nip bug spray!

To do: Harvest strong stalks of catnip with leaves. Pull off the leaves and process them in a food processor until they resem-ble pulp. Place catnip leaves in a saucepan. Pour two cups of boiling water over the catnip and allow it to steep for about 15 min-utes. Strain the leaves out. Pour into a spray bottle and allow to cool in the refrigerator. Spray clothing to repel mosquitoes and other pesky insects.

Lemon Balm - Citrus Bomb: Another very easy to grow herb, lemon balm has a refreshing cit-

rus fragrance, but its claim to fame is its natural insect repel-lent properties. Lemon balm grows quickly and is at home in the garden or in pots. Pluck leaves and scatter in areas where insects are bothersome. Or, sim-ply crush a few leaves and rub on arms and legs to keep mos-quitoes away. An effective lemon balm bug deterrent spray can be easily made by picking lemon balm leaves (add catnip also if you like) and stuffing them in a Mason jar. Pour witch hazel (available at drug stores) over the leaves to cover. Screw on the lid and allow to steep in a cold, dark place for one to two weeks. Strain out leaves. This infusion concentrate can be used to whip up several bottles of bug repel-lent. Simply fill a small spray bottle or mister half way with the infusion and add water to fill. Use as you would any commer-cial insect spray.

Lovely Lavender: Lovely lavender has many virtues, not the least of which is the ability to deter mosquitoes and other insects. Clumps of lofty lavender grown near outdoor sitting areas offers a delightful seasonal fra-grance, and it’s these same nat-ural oils in lavender that aid in keep the insect population away. Lavender is also hailed for its ability to repel fleas and ticks, which is yet another reason to grow it near where pets gather. Lavender grows tall and thick in patio pots, making it an excellent choice for container growing.

Citronella Scents: Most peo-ple are aware that citronella is a main ingredient in natural mos-quito repellents, including can-dles and oils. But the best way to reap the bug busting benefits of citronella is to grow it in the gar-den, as it is strongest in its natu-ral state. A quick growing grass, citronella can grow several feet, making it a great privacy plant. Planting citronella grass in large pots on a deck or patio provides a dual purpose: as a natural (and

eye appealing) privacy screen and an effective bug deterrent.

While it’s debatable whether the growing leaves release enough of their deterrent oils to do a satisfactory job of keeping bugs away, it is a proven fact that crushing the grass is an excellent way to release the oils, which means you can simply crush the leaves and apply directly to skin.

Tansy - The Good Weed: Tansy, which is a weed, traces its history as an effective mosquito repellent to the Middle Ages to modern times. Modern research confirms oil from the plants is successful in deterring the insects. In fact, tansy was such an advantageous herb for its antibacterial properties that in the 1600s it was deemed a “necessary” herb for gardens of that era. Tansy, which is related to the sunflower, grows wild many regions of the Northeast. The weed’s strong aroma enhances its insect repellent properties. And, the weed is often planted as a companion plant in organic gardening to repel insects from crops.

Nicknamed “Golden Buttons,” the weed is both adored and abhorred. Loved for its daisy like flowers and medicinal and repellent properties, and disliked due to its habit of invading the garden with tansy “weeds.”

Pennyroyal Makes Fleas Flee: Pennyroyal, a member of the mint fam-ily, is another plant that has been used to keep insects away for centuries. The plant is especially successful at repel-ling mosquitoes and fleas.

Mother Earth News reports pennyroy-al stems stuck in your hat and pockets really will repel gnats and mosquitoes, noting dog owners often see their dogs rolling in pennyroyal patches, and dog instincts can usually be trusted.

The magazine also recommends scat-tering dried pennyroyal leaves around pets’ bedding area, and rolling up some fresh stems in your dog’s bandanna before hiking in the woods. (Mother Earth also notes pennyroyal oil used in flea collars has largely been phased out because it caused miscarriages in cats, so only use the fresh leaves. If a pet or person could be expecting, don’t use pennyroyal at all.

All Purpose Herbal Insect Repellent: Ingredients: One tablespoon each of catnip; lavender; mint (spear-mint or mint)

Directions: Boil one cup of water stir in four tablespoons of herbs above. Cover and allow to cool. Strain herbs and mix the resulting liquid with one cup rubbing alcohol.

Extended archery deer season in Massachusetts Zones 10-14 should be approved by the end of July if all goes well. The early season will give archers the opportunity to harvest a deer before the regular deer season which starts on Oct. 15 this year. Applications for an antlerless deer permit must be sub-mitted by July 16 in Massachusetts and the rewards program will begin Aug. 1. The rewards system that was started a few years ago makes it a lot easier for deer hunters to receive one. All a hunter needs to do to see if he or she will win a deer permit, is to go to the MassFishHunt website and follow the simple instructions. It is that easy!!!

In other news pertaining to archery hunting, Tennessee is considering legal-izing airbow hunting for big game. The bow is powered by compressed air. In talking with some of the crossbow deer hunters in Massachusetts, most doubt that it would ever pass in our state. It would be nice to see them become law-ful for the disabled, but I am happy with my crossbow. It is extremely accurate as long as you can avoid branches and trees!!!

Freshwater bass anglers are land-ing some nice fish locally, and in border states like Rhode Island and Connecticut. This week’s first photo shows Bob Martin of Uxbridge with a five pound+ largemouth bass from a RI body of water. Nice fish.

Snug Harbor reported great fishing as of this past Saturday with many 40 to 50 pound stripers being caught at Block Island. Reports of a 60 pound striper still needed to be verified. A 232 pound

thresher was caught this past week, and numerous hookups were reported on mako sharks. Fluke and seabass fishing is still strong at the windmills, and along the beaches of Matunick. Numerous 10 pound fluke are still being caught.

Red Top Bait Tackle Shop reported great fishing for stripers this past week in the canal, with a few stripers weigh-ing in at 50 pounds, along with a lot of 20 pound fish for anglers that are really fishing.

Cottontail rabbits seem to be making a great comeback in the Valley. They seem to have adapted to the change in their cover, which includes residents’ back yards and gardens. This past week my wife’s beagle Molly spotted a rabbit in our back yard and went totally crazy barking and baying at the rabbit that was just out of her territory. We have a double fenced in yard that keeps her out

of the lower back yard. I wanted to let her go and chase the rabbit, but Rt. 16 could be hazardous for her if the rabbit decided to cross the road. It was still nice to hear her baying at the rabbit, and I hope to have her chasing them in a huntable spot this fall. She could also be good on pheasant this year. This week’s second picture shows Molly rest-ing after her encounter with the rabbit.

On July 29 the Uxbridge Rod & Gun Club will sponsor a 3-D archery shoot, which is open to the public. A full break-fast will be available to all shooters and guests. Noel Rabidor is archery chair-man, and has the course all ready for the event, that is one of the best courses in the area. Full size targets of bear, deer, turkey and numerous other game is set out throughout the course, testing the accuracy of shooters. Be sure to mark the event on your calendar and bring along a friend.

August 26 is the date for the Singletary Rod & Gun field day. The event draws many sportsmen and women from throughout the state to enjoy some great food and outdoor activities. A live band will provide some great music. Do not miss this annual event.

Hi! My name is Aaliyah and I enjoy watching Sesame Street!

Aaliyah is an engaging three-year-old girl of Caucasian/Guyanese descent. Aaliyah really likes music and dancing. She will often mim-ic dance moves she sees in different videos. Aaliyah also likes playing outside and watching Sesame Street. She particularly loves Elmo!

Aaliyah is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and she also has global developmen-tal delays. She is able to follow verbal and visu-al commands, and she can also problem-solve very well. Aaliyah currently attends four days of school. Aaliyah’s teachers report she has done well during the school day and her ability

to communicate through a picture book has greatly increased since the start of the school year.

Aaliyah’s permanent placement should be calm and highly structured. Aaliyah requires a significant amount of attention and care, so a two-parent household with no other children would be best. Due to her diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, families should familiarize themselves with this diagnosis and how it affects children. Aaliyah is legally free for adoption, and once a placement is identified her foster mother is willing to stay involved in Aaliyah’s life.

Who Can Adopt?

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

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

To learn more about adoption from foster care, call the Massachusetts Adop-tion Resource Exchange (MARE) at 617-6273 or visit www.mareinc.org.

The sooner you call, the sooner a waiting child will have “a permanent place to call HOME.”

If you have older family members whose cognitive functions or deci-sion-making abili-ties have declined, or who are lonely or recently wid-owed, you might need to help pro-tect them against financial scams. What steps should you take?

First of all, try to gain a good sense

of their overall financial activity. Look for red flags, such as a reluc-tance to discuss money matters, consistently unpaid bills, unex-plained withdrawals, mysterious wire transfers or a sudden need to purchase large quantities of gift cards. And watch out for new “best friends” or caretakers who show an unusual interest in your loved one’s finances.

Whether or not you’ve observed any of these activities, you can help your elderly family members by making these moves:

Have checks (such as Social Security payments) directly depos-ited. You can help your family members avoid a lot of potential trouble by having their checks deposited directly into their bank accounts.

Seek permission to become a joint account owner. By becoming a joint account owner on your elder-ly family members’ checking and savings accounts, you can review statements for suspicious activity. Of course, your loved ones may be initially reluctant to add your name, but if you have a good rela-tionship with them, you should be able to explain the benefits.

Shred bank statements, credit card offers and notices of lottery or sweepstakes winnings. One of the most useful gifts you can give to your elderly family members may be a shredder. Encourage them to use it to shred old bank statements, credit card offers and other finan-cial documents.

Get on a “do not call” list. Telephone scammers are persistent and devious. By registering your family members’ house and cell phones at www.donotcall.gov, you may be able to reduce their expo-sure to unwanted calls.

Obtain power of attorney. By creating a power of attorney, your loved ones can designate you or another trusted relative or friend to assist with their finances now – for day-to-day assistance and protec-tion from scammers – and later, should they become incapacitated. Again, you will need to employ some sensitivity when discussing this issue.

Check references of caretakers. As mentioned above, some care-takers are, unfortunately, dishon-est. Before you hire one, check out this person’s references. And even when you do, be careful – scam artists have been known to use accomplices as references, so you will need to be thorough in your research and questions.

Get to know your family mem-bers’ financial advisors. If possible, become acquainted with your older family members’ financial advi-sors. Any reputable advisor will welcome a connection with their clients’ loved ones. And if you are involved in any estate plans, this multi-generational relationship will prove beneficial for everyone.

Ask to meet any new “friends” they have met online. When someone is lonely, they become vulnerable to online friendships. Sometimes, these new friends make promises of meeting, but never show – and then they sud-denly need money for one reason or another.

It can be challenging to guard against all threats posed by the scammers of the world. But by stay-ing alert and taking the appropriate preventive actions, you may be able to help safeguard your loved ones’ financial security.

editor Help protect

vulnerable family members from

scam artistsEditorial

The week five journalists were killed by a single gunman in Maryland, we had already written our editorial; per-haps a frivolous piece because we were pressed for time due to early deadlines coming up on a holiday and…the trage-dy happened on a Thursday.

But we felt it. We all felt it. It was not a Happy Fourth of July for

us.It drives home just how important

this job is. And while we are small, and very community oriented, and weekly not daily, and we struggle with having enough writers to cover events, and we appreciate and value the help of cit-izen-volunteer-public relations people who provide us with information and photos when we can’t get everywhere, it just underlines how very important it is that local newspapers survive.

Do we make mistakes?Yes. We do. And we try to own up to them as

quickly as we can and rectify them when possible.

We miss stories, we miss important events, we miss meetings, we know; we know.

You are ‘preaching to the choir’ here. But as we read through the heart-

breaking news about the Capital Gazette and the people hurt and killed, it sounded just like any of the people who work here at Stonebridge Press. Writers, editors, sports people, adver-tising people.

The fellow who opened fire had a grudge against the newspaper itself. Felt he had been wronged by something printed. And just kept nagging about it. It kept nagging him too apparently. Even taking it to court, where he lost.

He was considered a “crank” of sorts, though some took him seriously enough to talk to police about him.

And we can relate. We’ve had more than one threat at one or two of our newspapers in the past. Had a side mir-ror broken on a car, though no ‘proof’ as to how that happened and by whom except it did come in the middle of ran-corous local political haranguing.

Editors try very hard to stay neutral in the middle of local political “stuff.” That’s why it has been a policy, at least by this editor, not to endorse candi-dates. We think anyone with enough chutzpah to run deserves a shot.

And we have always said if it came through in the letters to the editor bash-ing us or praising us, it is all good; because it means at least they took the time to actually read us and have an opinion about it.

So we tip our hats and bow our heads in mutual sorrow with the folks at Capital Gazette, and with due respect if you remember Charlie Hedbo, and a couple of television anchors a few years ago shot right on the air as they were reporting, by a disgruntled fellow employee.

Perhaps not as dangerous as jour-nalist of our acquaintance who left his home in Egypt under death threats for his work attempting to write there; but that’s a story for a different time and a different atmosphere.

And thank you President Trump for the recognition of allowing the flags to fly half-staff on July 3 in their honor.

Taking the heat

Opinion and commentary from the Blackstone Valley and beyond

OPINION

When I co-lead the Model UN Club in our middle school, the first concept I taught was sovereignty. The core meaning was the supreme authority of every state to control its own government and to maintain order. It included the right to define its borders and immigration policies. Students in our sanctuary city grappled with what this meant, because everyone knew someone like “Carlos”…

Carlos chooses a seat in the back of the class behind a broad shouldered stu-dent with a modified “Afro”. His smile is infectious but I notice that during class discussions, he slides down in his seat and avoids eye contact with me. He has come to my attention because his first writing assignment is incomprehensible – verbs and nouns trip on each other and I sense a narrative rather than read it.

Carlos does not understand English. He can speak it…I hear the platitudes and slang and good-natured ribbing with classmates coming into my room,

but it is a cover, it is a mask. His saunter and slouch mirror adolescent aloofness, but there is no mistaking the darting eyes and pained grin…he is drowning in a lan-guage he barely understands, expending megawatts of energy pretending to know and to fit in.

Carlos, what is your story?It is important that my students tell

their stories because our story is how we locate ourselves in this confusion of a life. Language structures the world and our place in it.

After a few short assessments, I begin the school year with memoir so that my

students, many of whom do not speak English at home, can reflect on how they found themselves sitting in my class in Chelsea, Massachusetts, a long way from their Aunt Rosita in San Juan, their sis-ter in Guatemala, their best friends in Honduras.

But the task of memoir is fraught with problems. There is the story of course: Do I tell the adult what I think he wants to hear, or do I trust him with the truth, as I know it? Geeze, what does he mean by “my story?” Who is he? If I figure out what “my story” is, how will this teacher use it?

I do not have much time to connect with Carlos in a meaningful way. Three assign-ments from now, he will begin to feel even more inadequate, and if the wrong student sees his attempt at a story, the laughter may drive him into the arms of those who have already lost hope of any success in school.

By the third class, Carlos has found an

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Nofi: ignoring laws IS criminalTo the Editor:Every year thousands of people leave

their home countries and emigrate to the United States of America. Some do it to flee oppression, poverty, starva-tion or seek religious freedom. Others do it because they possess skills and talents that we need here in this country and to provide a labor force that other Americans prefer not to participate in. These people we welcome with open arms because we know they are just like our ancestors and will work to make not only their lives, but also our country, better and stronger. They do all this by following the laws of our land, so it seems to me that the existing laws can and do work. I even married one of those legal immigrants.

Anyone who violates the law and com-mits a crime is a criminal. We already have an abundant supply of criminals living here. We do not need more people who ignore our laws. We do not need peo-ple who breed anarchy or spread hatred and come to terrorize those who live here. It is over seventy years since the end of WW II, yet we still seek and prose-cute those guilty of war crimes.

So where are our illustrious leaders, those elected to uphold the existing laws or enact new ones where needed? Why are they, from all political parties, rally-ing to support those who come here ille-gally? Why are they deliberately ignor-ing the existing laws and encouraging

people to violate them? This country has problems, but it seems our Senators and Representatives spend more time at home raising funds for their next elec-tion than working at solving the prob-lems.

If you want a sanctuary city, make it one that is a sanctuary that helps and supports those who come here legally and are working to make the lives of their families better. Don’t make our towns a harbor for criminals by being one yourself. If it is so important to you to support those coming into this coun-try, dig into your own personal pocket and provide the funds necessary to sup-port an immigrant family, don’t pass that burden on to others and then com-plain because our roads and bridges need repair and there is no money to fix them.

The existing system does work, as it has in the past. Many of our ances-tors (including my father-in-law) left their families and came here legally, established a life for themselves, and then brought in their immediate and even extended families. Let’s keep that tradition going. And there is another American tradition we need to follow. If you don’t like the existing laws, work at changing them, not violating or circum-venting them.

Vecchione: time wasting drivelTo the editor:Just when I thought there was no way

to truly understand or quantify the irrel-evance of the Blackstone Valley Tribune I read the July 6th editorial and it all becomes very clear.

Whoever wrote that incendiary, time wasting, drivel about “self centered” Americans not liking “real” football is no “real” journalist worthy of being taken seriously, in my opinion. Saying “America is the greatest” like it’s some kind of a curse and calling Americans “innate bullies” and using the term “America first idiocy” makes my blood boil and shows this person to be a coward and a traitor to American ideals and vet-erans everywhere.

Those veterans gave this unpatriotic enemy of the state the bully pulpit they so unjustly deserve and used to spew

nonsensical hokum and anti-Nationalis-tic rubbish.

I hate soccer, but I’m impressed with the endurance of its athletes. I’m skewed and selfish because of that?

It must have taken a slow news week and even slower wit to come up with this week’s eye opening and revealing inner workings and thought process of your editor. You shamed guys like Rod Lee and Walter Bird today.

Maybe the reason why that type of editorial is written and why you have to give your weekly paper away is a total lack of pride in America, and the storied history of the Tribune, as well as a credi-ble editor to write anything of substance.

Shame on you.

It’s surprisingly affordable too!

ally in Hector, and the two whis-per back and forth in Spanish, barely able to follow simple directions. Hector is more bra-zen. He has an older brother in jail and seems attracted to the tougher boys who smirk and laugh as their disrespect gets teacher attention. Carlos is dif-ferent. He wants to succeed, but sustained effort with little success is beginning to take a toll on his ability to focus. It is time for “the talk”.

Carlos hears the message

after school: I know that he has great difficulty with English but I am patient and it is my job to find a way for him to succeed. I expect effort.

“Do you know what ‘effort’ means?”

There follows my short, care-fully worded “ways to succeed in my class” speech, modi-fied for simplicity and clari-ty. Effort is plugged, repeat-ed, underlined, and repeat-ed again. He is respectful. Contrite. He nods.

Now in class, Carlos watches me closely to see how I deal with a range of behaviors. He comically mimics my raised

eyebrow and vocal patterns to a “t”. His laugh makes oth-ers laugh. Ever so slowly his English improves and he drops hints to see my reaction, but it is still breathtaking to hear the story told in bits and pieces over the year: the walk from Guatemala to Mexico, slipping across the United States bor-der, making his way to New York City and a cousin, the car trip to Chelsea, the fierce determination to send for his sister, the fear of deportation that haunts his dreams. He is fifteen going on thirty, and I am in awe of his courage…and every day he defines effort

by his existence. It is a fierce victory.

This was the kind of person person I wanted as a neighbor, a fellow citizen, someone driv-en to succeed, whose life was graced by an understanding of compassion.

I taught memoir because I believed that the greatest sto-ries lie within us, where no eyes shine but ours. To find the truth, you must first tell the fic-tion you need to hear, then find the hollow feeling, the empty words, and keep telling the fic-tion until the sadness wells to tears and the tears to truth.

Now many years later, I

watch in agony as children are separated from the only caretaker they know, and dis-patched across the country to live behind cages, like the epithet thrown at them from President Trump, like “ani-mals.” My students from long ago would not be surprised. But I hope they remember the concept of sovereignty even as they struggle with the promise of the Statue of Liberty to the ”tiredß and hungry yearning to be free.”

For me, illegal immigration, a misdemeanor, had a face: young, determined, and with an infectious laugh.

more information.Sept. 7-9: Boothbay Harbor The Silver

Club of the Uxbridge Senior Center is planning a trip on Sept. 7-9 to Boothbay Harbor for $449. Stay across the foot-bridge from the town of Boothbay Harbor at the Boothbay Harbor Inn right on the water! September is a beau-tiful time to be on the coast of Maine. The crowds are gone and you can enjoy the serenity! There is a lobster bake, a harbor cruise, a visit to the botani-cal gardens, and the Carousel Dinner Theatre included. There is also a stop in Kennebunkport.

Oct. 3: Jersey Boys at Ogunquit Playhouse. $121. Lunch at the Bull and Claw in Wells, ME.

Oct. 5-8: Washington, DC $699. What better time to see the Washington Monuments than Columbus Day week-end? An illuminated night tour, time to go to the Smithsonian Buildings, plus a tram tour of Arlington National Cemetery are some of the highlights.

grateful to the opportu-nities that these schol-arship pageants pro-vide. With the recently announced changes to the Miss America dress code, there is clearly a new direction that these pageants are taking.

The lifestyle and fit-ness stage remained a section for 2018, but this same new format will be introduced for Miss Massachusetts

Scholarship Pageant 2019. For any young ladies out there, or parents of such, who might be consider-ing this avenue,

White says, “As a young woman this is an extremely empowering opportunity to be given and is akin to applying for a job. It is one of the highest paying scholar-ship programs available”

What next for White? Well first all, after stand-ing in, she has to return the crown to the current Miss South Coast, and with an age cap of 25,

this chapter in her like is concluded. Next year she plans to return to school where she hopes to attend Northeastern University to complete a degree in nursing.

White is a 23-year old graduate of Bridgewater State University where in 2016, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology. She is a 2013 graduate of Northbridge High School and is the daughter of Matthew and Kelly White of Whitinsville.

NORTHBRIDGE — The Shrewsbury Post 397 American Legion baseball team took full advantage of three sixth inning errors committed by Northbridge Post 343, scoring five runs to turn a tie game into a five-run lead en route to a 7-4 win on Thursday, July 5 at Lasell Field.

The loss was 5-10 Northbridge’s fifth straight defeat. Shrewsbury not only improved to 12-2 with the win, but also enjoyed a measure of revenge against Post 343, the last team to beat them — 16-13 on June 26 — eight games ago.

After the game Northbridge manager David Meech Sr. showed his team’s scorebook to his assistant coach and explained what he circled in the book was the difference between winning and losing the July 5 game against Post 37.

“Errors and stupid plays, that’s what I circled,” Meech said. “We made three errors in one inning and they scored five runs in the inning. And two of the errors came right in a row to their first two hitters of the inning. That’s a recipe for disaster.”

Shrewsbury used the errors, along with three RBI singles, a sacrifice fly and a walk, to score five times, turning what had been a 1-1 pitching duel into a 6-1 lead.

Northbridge managed to score a run in the bottom of the sixth, and two more in the bottom of the seventh — after allowing Shrewsbury another run in the top of the frame — but the damage had been done.

Shrewsbury took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning on a walk, a single and a sacrifice fly.

Northbridge managed to tie the game, 1-1, an RBI single by Jake Stuczynski, scoring Harrison Mansfield, who had worked a one-out walk earlier in the inning. Post 343, how-ever, had other opportunities to score, leaving runners in scoring position in the fifth, as well as in the second and fourth innings.

In the fourth inning what would have been the tying run for Northbridge was cut down at the plate when a squeeze bunt sign was missed by the batter, causing the runner on third to get thrown out at the plate.

“We’re a young team while [Shrewsbury] is the defend-ing champion and they pull players from two of the big-gest Division 1 conferences in the area,” Meech said. “We’re pulling guys from Northbridge and a few surrounding towns that compete in Division 4. I’m playing 16-year-olds and I only have three 18-year-olds on the roster.”

The loss overshadowed a strong pitching performance from Northbridge’s Jack Hughes, who pitched into the sixth inning and allowed just one earned run. The right-hander allowed four hits and a walk while striking out a bat-ter in 5-1/3 innings of work.

“He gave us a great effort,” Meech said about Hughes’ work on the bump. “He threw strikes, got up in the count

early and let them pop it up. He did exactly what we needed him to do. Unfortunately we didn’t score enough runs and when we needed to make plays we didn’t.”

Post 343 cut the Shrewsbury lead to 6-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Brian Iarussi leading off with a single to right field and then coming around to score on a fielder’s choice to short by Zach Roberts. Northbridge added two runs in the seventh, both runs coming home on an RBI single to cen-ter field by Logan Troy.

Meech believes inexperience is preventing Post 343 from scoring early and often.

“It’s all about confidence, I think,” Meech said. “A lot of these kids don’t see the qual-ity pitching during the high school season that we see at the Legion level. So, it’s about getting comfortable with it. They saw a guy throw 85 pitch-es and eventually they said to themselves ‘OK, I guess I got to swing the bat and get after it.’ It’s growth; it’s maturity. It’s very simple.

“The experience will come from playing; from seeing good pitching every day,” Meech added. “They don’t see pitch-ing like this every day in high school. They’ll see maybe two or three kids who throw hard and are good pitchers, but a team like Shrewsbury can roll out three or four guys that can really throw the ball. We can play with them, we’ve proved that. It’s just a matter of putting the few small pieces together and having the confidence to finish the job.”

OXFORD – Dorothy (Carrstedt) Ethier, 81, passed away on Tuesday, June 19, 2018, at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester, with her loving fami-

ly by her side. She was predeceased by her husband Richard J. Ethier of Oxford who died in 2015. She is sur-vived by three chil-dren, Gary J. Ethier and his wife Paula of Auburn, Michael

R. Ethier of Oxford, and Deborah A. Willey and her husband Charles of Oxford; three grandchildren who she cherished beyond words, Nicholas E. Ethier of Uxbridge, Bryan R. Ethier of Worcester, and Cassandra M. Willey of Oxford; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Dottie was born in Worcester, daughter of the late Ragnar and Mary (Nevalsky) Carrstedt. She attended Worcester schools before she began work at Woodbury Press, where she would meet her future husband and the love of her life, Richard. They married in 1954 and started raising a family in Millbury. She was a proud homemaker for most of her life who enjoyed caring for her home and fam-ily for many years.

Dottie and Richard were able to retire before age 60 and spent many wonderful winters at their 2nd home in Hudson, FL, where they enjoyed

trips to Disney, the Strawberry Festival, and flea markets. She espe-cially loved hosting immediate and extended family and friends. Dottie was an accomplished cook and many of her legendary dishes were her own recipes that no one could duplicate. Sometimes we joked with her that she left something out when we asked for the recipe. She loved decorating for all the holidays, especially Christmas. Dorothy loved crafting, crocheting afghans, making hooked rugs, danc-ing with Richard, animals (especially birds), and baking.

With great pride and joy, Dottie and Richard loved attending their grand-children’s sporting events and school activities. She was very proud of her Lithuanian and Swedish heritage. Dorothy was beautiful, kind, selfless, and compassionate. They would often tell each other, “I love you to the moon and back.”

The family would like to thank the staff at Care One in Millbury for their love, affection, and exceptional care provided to Dorothy. We will miss her dearly and she will be forever in our hearts.

A private service will be held at the columbarium at All Faiths Cemetery in Worcester. There are no calling hours.

Letterboxing Adventure: follow the rabbit into the briar.KIMBERLY MASCHI

TIMES CORRESPONDENT

What is Letterboxing? Letterboxing is a scaven-ger hunt where the clues lead you through a hike into nature. At the end of your adventure you will find a box with a note-book, pen, handmade rubber stamp, and ink pad. What you bring with you is your own rubber stamp that represents you and a notebook. You ink your unique stamp into the notebook with a written note about your journey. You then take the provided stamp and log it into your notebook. It is a great opportuni-ty to get outdoors with a purpose. With this Letterboxing adventure, you will also learn things on the way. As always, be safe, bring water, clip out this article to take with you, and spray yourself with bug spray.

Our journey starts in Oxford. Venture into the briar off Main Street. Don’t be blue, you can find it if you follow the color of the sun. Drive slowly over the three

mounds and park on your left. Enter the trail that has a small boulder at the entrance. Follow the path between two tiny mountains and past the yellow gate. Be pre-pared to follow the rabbit deep into adventure.

Follow the path and enter into the meadow, this is your first fork in the road. Stay right to continue your search for the letterbox. You can go for a short journey left and see the one very lone-ly Christmas tree. When you venture right walk along the winterberry bushes. Keep to the right and cross over the bridge. Take a break and enjoy the view. Beavers and otters are scurrying and swimming around you, they even built a new dam where you can see the schools of fish in the shallow water. When you have had your fill of won-derment forge on into the rocky way.

There sits a small bench where you can sit and listen to the duets of frogs and watch the geese and their young

floating along the stream. Here you can also view the osprey nest in the distance. The nest was erected in July of 2010. Ospreys visited in 2014 and 2015 but decided not to stay. Right now, in 2018, the nest is full with

a beautiful family. Check out the live camera from the town of Oxford web-site.

Keep walking until you come to another fork in the road, the right way is the best way. Look into the distance, the water,

the swamp and you can see the stags tree. A large tree stripped of bark and imitating a stag’s ant-lers. This long journey has more to come, stay straight until you come upon the stacked rafts. Stay to the right and you

will come to the winding bridge. Be careful on this very fun and twisting and turning bridge. Thank you to Troop 338 for this magnificently magical bridge! When you jump off the end of the bridge look deep into the woods to see the witches hut. Don’t worry, the witch only ventures from her hut late at night. Keep to the right and cross over the gnarly roots. Follow the path down and keep the trench on your right. Keep your eyes open, the rabbit is near. On your right, you will see a blue marker in the tree and below it is the rabbit stump. The rabbit holds the prize! Write about your adven-ture and include your stamp. Congratulations! You found a Letterbox and your hiking adven-tures have been logged with all the others. Be safe on your journey back and look for new Letterboxing adventures in Stonebridge Press newspapers. New adven-tures await!

Kim Maschi photos

From wildlife to rickety bridges, the possibilities are endless.

Geese, osprey, frogs and of course, the rabbits haunt the wild areas.

(NAPS)A generous donor recently opened up the worlds of theater, music and history to

a group of deserving young people, especially picked for their passion and involve-ment in performing arts.

The KidsStudents in Treehouse’s Graduation Success program experienced the Tony

Award–winning, hip-hop musical sensation “Hamilton.” Treehouse gives youth in foster care a childhood and a future. The nonprofit

has increased the extended graduation rate for youth in its program to 89 percent. Nationwide, less than 50 percent of youth in foster care earn diplomas.

Shayla, a high school junior who wants to pursue a career in theater, was over-joyed to learn about the tickets.

“I screamed. I started crying. I was on the ground hyperventilating,” she said. “I couldn’t even say thank you because I couldn’t breathe.”

The ShowThe musical would prove to be everything Shayla hoped. “The sets were beautiful, the costumes were gorgeous and the actors did an

amazing job,” she said.“Hamilton” is based on the story of the nation’s founding fathers and has one of

Broadway’s most diverse casts. The national tour for 2018 will perform in 20 cities around the country.

The play’s creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, cast white historical figures—includ-ing Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson—with African-American, Latino and Asian-American actors. This decision has inspired young theatergoers across the country, including Treehouse youth.

“The best part for me was that Chris, my student, could envision himself play-ing a number of amazing characters,” said Mary Iannuzzi, Treehouse Education Specialist.

The OrganizationTreehouse is based in Washington, operates statewide and provides guidance to

organizations serving youth in foster care all over the country. Learn MoreFor further information or to make a donation yourself, visit www.treehouse-

‘Hamilton’ Inspires Youth In Foster Care

(NAPS)By 2020, one in three Americans will

be over age 50. If you or someone you care about expects to be among them, there’s something you may want to consider—and it’s electric.

An electric bike, that is. In fact, a whole shop full of them. Owning an electric bicycle store is an increasing-ly popular second or third career for many.

There are several good reasons:1. The electric bicycle industry is

booming. It’s expected to grow 60 per-cent worldwide by 2025. Pedego, the No. 1 electric bike company in the U.S., has helped more than 100 career want-to-be entrepreneurs open a store.

2. The bikes practically sell them-selves. You just have to create an envi-ronment where it’s fun and easy to buy.

3. Owning a Pedego store is both enjoyable and fulfilling. People who own a store say it’s surprisingly good to see the smiles on customers’ faces or

hear how riding an electric bicycle has changed their lives by expanding their social circles, helping them get fit or ditching their cars for green transpor-tation.

4. The stores are NOT franchis-es. They’re independently owned and operated. You’re the boss—but you’re not alone. The company offers dealer support and services at no charge and there are no licensing or royalty fees.

5. Opening a Pedego store can be good for your health and happiness as well as your pocket. The store own-ers tend to be a fit bunch thanks to all the bicycling. Plus, it’s a great way to meet people and have fun. While some retirees find their worlds shrinking as work relationships trail off, electric bike dealers develop new friendships with the customers who join them for group rides.

(NAPS)Fostering a child’s

courage to express cre-ativity is perhaps one of the most important goals that parents can set for themselves.

U n d e r s t a n d i n g Creativity

Often, when people think of creativity, they think of the arts, but it starts with play early in life and leads to other things as children grow. It’s through play that children begin to develop their creative muscles, whether with blocks, dolls or action figures. Beyond play, kids may find creativity in the way they play sports, clean their room, prepare their food or do their school-work.

According to experts at The Genius of Play™, a national movement to raise awareness about play’s critical role in child development and encourage more play in children’s lives, creativ-ity can help build confi-dence, flexibility, individ-uality and mental agility, and even contribute to better physical health.

Expert AdviceDr. Erik Fisher, Ph.D.

and The Genius of Play

expert, believes the best way to foster children’s creativity is to encourage them to try things and not feel afraid to fail. Failure itself is an amaz-ing learning experience

as it helps children devel-op tenacity and persever-ance, which are some of the most important skills they’ll need later in life. At the same time, parents should be aware of their

own emotions, attitudes and beliefs and be will-ing to create with their child. Many times, par-ents want their kids to “fit in” and don’t realize they’re stifling creativity.

To help ensure that creativity is part of your child’s play routine, Dr. Fisher suggests:

• Don’t focus on just the arts. Play has a key role in helping devel-

op children’s creative muscles. As children develop creativity in one area, it often extends to other areas.

• Help your kids stretch their creativi-ty muscles and yours by experimenting with many different kinds of toys and playful activi-ties. Trying new things lets kids discover what they like and explore their own talents.

• Observe and appreciate your chil-dren’s uniqueness and celebrate how they do things differently.

• There’s no better way to dry up creativity than with criticism. Try to find constructive ways to give feedback and seek ways to be positive.

• Help your child see failure through play as a learning experience, not a time to quit.

Summer vacation presents an opportunity for students to enjoy an extended break from the classroom. While this respite from routine may be a welcome change to youngsters, teachers frequently lament that valuable educational les-sons seem to be forgotten each summer. Educators then face tougher hurdles when students return to school in the fall.

Such a phenomenon is dubbed “summer learning loss,” but it can occur during any extended break from school. Scholars have realized for some time that students’ rate of academic development declines during summer vaca-tion. Oxford Learning, a tutor-ing and education training group, offers these eye-opening statistics.

• Over the summer, students tend to lose 2.6 months of math skills and two months of read-ing skills.

• Summer learning loss can be seen in students as young as six.

• It can take up to two months from the first day of school to get students’ brain develop-ment back on course.

Summer learning loss, some-times called “brain drain,” can be prevented. Proponents of year-round schooling at The National Association for Year-Round Education recommend a more balanced school year, where summer vacation lasts only 30 days and other school breaks are lengthened. In this scenario, the school year would still last about 180 days, but without the lengthy breaks.

Parents may prefer the sta-tus quo, and those who do can take several steps to prevent summer learning loss from affecting their children.

• Encourage more reading.

Schools recommend summer reading lists, but students should also learn to read for pleasure. Research from the National Literary Trust indi-cates reading for pleasure can improve reading attainment and writing, as well as one’s general knowledge. Children can bring books to the beach that they can read between frol-icking sessions in the waves.

• Enjoy family game nights. Games can be customized to

highlight certain skills that require reinforcement. For example, math-centered games that require counting or addi-tion can strengthen gener-alized math skills. Problem-solving board games may help children become better critical thinkers.

• Make vacations education-al. Add travel to historical sites or other places of interest to help history come alive. When visiting new towns and cities,

read the placards that explain important moments in history that took place in each town or city, making sure to include some thought-provoking areas of interest on your itinerary.

• Look for science moments. Trips to the seaside, parks and much more present myr-iad opportunities to learn about science. Children can stage their own experiments with items they find in nature, such as learning about tides,

wind and water flow by sailing homemade boats.

• Teach kids through daily tasks. Barbecuing, making a cake, building a raised garden bed, seeding the lawn — each of these moments present edu-cational opportunities for par-ents who want to keep their kids’ minds sharp during sum-mer.

Children need not fall victim to summer learning loss when their days are filled with edu-

CAPTION: Reading is one of the best ways to keep young minds fresh during summer vacations.

What To Binge Watch

(NAPS)When school’s out, it’s up to par-

ents and caregivers to keep kids busy. Instead of waiting to hear the dreaded “I’m bored,” families can be prepared with fun activities to ensure children are playing and learning all vacation long.

According to experts at The Genius of PlayTM, a national movement to encourage more play in children’s lives, research shows that play is not only critical to healthy child development—it’s an important teaching tool. Through play, kids build physical skills, improve cognitive abilities, learn communi-cation and social skills, process and express emotions, and increase creativ-ity.

Meredith Sinclair, author and The Genius of Play Ambassador, suggests writing activities on popsicle sticks and placing them in a play jar to create a PLAYlist of fun ideas. Whenever chil-dren are bored or need inspiration, encourage them to select from the play jar to stir up their creativity.

To help get your PLAYlist started, Sinclair recommends the following activities:

• Grow a garden—A fun, edu-cational way to let kids get dirty is by having them start their very own veg-etable garden. They’ll love planting the seeds to watch them grow. They’ll also be learning a sense of responsibility and getting a confidence boost by being proud of what has blossomed under their care.

• Camping—No need to go far. Gather all the camping essentials, such as flashlights, sleeping bags, s’more ingredients and a pop-up tent, head to the living room or the backyard and set up camp for the night.

• Rock art—Whether used as decorations or to leave kind messages around the neighborhood, rock art is a trendy and easy craft. Have kids collect rocks of various shapes and sizes, and once the rocks are clean, use acrylic paint to decorate them.

• Make a movie—Nurture your children’s inner filmmakers by encour-aging them to create their own movie using a smartphone/tablet, some of their toys to play the characters and crafts for scenery. Once the movie is finished, gather the family and some

popcorn to have a viewing party and admire your children’s creativity.

• DIY T-shirts—Have children play clothing designer for the day. Let them personalize a T-shirt with craft supplies such as tie-dye, puff paints, sequins, iron-on patches and anything

else they might like.More play ideas, expert advice

and other play resources are avail-able at TheGeniusofPlay.org. Follow @GeniusOfPlay on Facebook and Instagram for even further play inspi-ration.

Encourage your kids to express themselves with arts and crafts when school is out.
