STURBRIDGE — A Sturbridge man was arrested on Wednesday, July 9, after allegedly stealing from the Joshua Hyde Public Library.
Yuri Miranda, 20, was arrested by the Sturbridge
Police on the charge of larceny in excess of $250.
The alleged incident began around 2 p.m. on Wednesday, July 9 when Sturbridge Police Officer David Fortier was dis-patched to the library. Fortier spoke with Judith McDonald, an employee
of the library, when he arrived. She informed him that approximately 30 minutes prior to her phone call to the police a “tall, thin, dark-skinned male” who was wear-ing glasses took several DVDs from the library.
Fortier noted that he
had seen a subject near the library around the time she described.
“Approximately 30 minutes prior to getting this call, I observed a male subject who fit this description walking on Main Street in the area of the library,” Fortier
wrote in a police report. He recognized him from previous encounters with the law as Miranda.
Fortier added in the documents that Miranda was holding a green box and holding his crotch

STURBRIDGE — Town Administrator Shaun Suhoski announced his resignation last week, in a letter to the Board of Selectmen dated July 2.
“I’m leaving, basically and predominantly, for personal reasons,” said Suhoski earlier this week.
Although he said he is doing this to be clos-er to his family, he also has professional reasons for leaving Sturbridge. Selectmen in the Town of Athol recently voted to hire Suhoski as their new town manager.
“The town is a little big-ger than Sturbridge, and is somewhat of an urban community,” Suhoski explained. “It’s economi-cally going through some tough times … The posi-tion just happened to come to me at the right time.”
Although Suhoski gave a final work date of Aug. 13, he said another day might be mutually agreed upon between himself and the Board of Selectmen.
The official end of business date was decid-ed at the Monday, July 7 meeting of the Board of Selectmen, which after this paper’s press time.
Suhoski took the time in his resignation letter to review his work over the past four years.
“When hired in April 2010, I never consid-ered that the residents and town officials of Sturbridge would need to persevere through four

With prescription medication and general opiate abuse on the rise throughout the country, local lawmakers recent-ly aimed to stem the problem before its start-ed through the funding of youth substance abuse programs throughout southern Worcester County.
According to Sen. Stephen M. Brewer, D-Barre, and Sen. Richard T. Moore, D-Uxbridge, it was apparent that the issue is high on both legislators’ priority list, and the key to reducing the cases of addiction is youth edu-cation.
In a press release issued from Brewer’s office on Tuesday, July 8, the senator announced that $200,000 has been allocated for the Alliance of Massachusetts YMCA’s Inc., which will go toward “high-impact speaking engagement,”

STURBRIDGE — The bus may have been held back by traffic, delaying arrival by a couple hours On Thursday, July 10, but that did not dampen the enthusiasm of Fresh Air Fund families who waited for the return of their kids from the city.
Some children were returning for their sec-
ond year in Central Massachusetts, while for others it was like retun-ing to their second home — some spending five or more years with their Fresh Air families.
Residents from Southbridge, Webster, Auburn and Rutland gathered at the Hobbs Brook complex in Sturbridge on Thursday

BRIMFIELD — Hitchcock Free Academy (HFA) welcomes Elise
Hanks-Witaszek, of Brimfield, to this year’s Summer Fun staff as tennis instructor.
Hanks-Witaszek, a junior at Tantasqua, has been playing tennis since fourth grade and has been on Tantasqua’s varsi-ty team since ninth grade.
Hanks-Witaszek has volunteered for Hitchcock in previous Summer Fun programs, and is looking forward to teaching this summer and working with “Summer Funners” ages 5-12 in her classes.
“I enjoy working with kids, and my biggest goal for them is just to have a lot of fun,” she said.
Hanks-Witaszek will teach tennis to two age groups this summer: children ages 5-7 and ages 8-12.
“I would love to see some of them con-tinue with tennis, either for fun or to eventually join a team in high school,” she said. “It really is a great sport and something you can play for the rest of your life. My sister, who is graduated, also played on the Tantasqua varsity tennis team and we play almost every night over the summer.”
HFA also welcomes returning
instructor Nancy Giorgio -Kupiek, fondly known as “Mrs. K” to children in the Summer Fun program. She will again be teaching the “StoryTime” class for preschool-ers, and “Design & Create” classes for children ages 5 to 12, in which partic-ipants have a differ-ent age-appropriate craft or food-creat-
ing experience each day.Giorgio-Kupiek has worked with chil-
dren for more than 30 years and holds a master’s degree in elementary edu-cation. At the Warren Public Library, she is running the statewide summer reading program entitled “Fizz! Boom! Read!”
“I’m doing some really cool and fun science projects that I will be bringing to Summer Fun,” she said. “I also have some exciting and yummie new recipes for ‘Cooking Friday.’”
“Mrs. K” (disguised as a turkey) has lots of creative ideas that she’ll bring to Hitchcock’s Summer Fun program again this year.
“I also do the story time at the library,” she adds, “and I have some fun ideas to bring the stories to life with dress-up and role-playing.”
Mrs. K’s enthusiasm for being part of the Summer Fun program is hard to miss.
“When everyone else is anticipating spring in the winter, I’m anticipating Summer Fun! I look forward to these three weeks every year and am so excit-ed for 2014,” she said.
HFA Executive Director Susan Gregory said for quite a few area resi-dents, Summer Fun is a long-time tra-dition.
“Many kids return year after year,” Gregory said. “Some volunteer as assistants when they have ‘aged out’ of Summer Fun, and some, like Elise, even return as staff members.”
“Summer Fun is just that — fun,” she continued. “One participant whom I saw recently gave me a hug and said, ‘Hitchcock is my favorite part of the summer! When does Summer Fun start?’ Creating smiles and happy child-hood memories is what makes Summer Fun so great.”
Hitchcock’s Summer Fun program runs from July 14 – Aug. 1, 9 a.m. – 11:50 a.m. Classes for preschoolers are Story Time, Games, and Arts & Crafts; children ages 5-12 may choose Games, Tennis, and Design & Create. Children may sign up for one, two or three class-es for one, two, or three weeks.

STURBRIDGE — The Board of Selectmen and Board of Health met jointly on Monday, July 7, to fill a vacancy on the Board of Health.
“This is a vacancy that will be jointly filled for the time remaining until the next annual election and the person who gets appointed or anyone else who may choose to run in April [2015],” explained Board of Selectmen Chairman Mary Blanchard.
Of the two candidates presented, Sandra Fallon was elected to the board at a narrow vote of 4-3.
Fallon was the only candidate that sought out the position on the board.
“I just wanted to let the selectmen know that I thought it was very unusu-al that we’d have someone to actually contact the selectmen and the Board of Health in reference to actually wanting to be on the Board of Health,” said BOH Chairman Linda Cocalis.
The other candidate, John Degnan,
previously served on the board and was reached out to by Cocalis.
“As a board, we reached out to John Degnan directly since John had previ-ously been on the Board of Health for four years and has only been absent from the board for about a year,” Cocalis said. “We felt that he could probably jump back on board where he left off a year ago.”
Cocalis added she was glad that Fallon stepped forward as well.
“I’m very happy that other people were interested too because generally people are not interested in Board of Health matters,” Cocalis said.
Fallon said she’s always enjoyed serv-ing the public.
“[I’m interested in the Board of Health] because I’m a volunteer by nature,” Fallon said. “I’ve been volun-teering since I was nine years old. In whatever city or town I’ve lived in I’ve always been on boards and I’m just very involved in the community.”
Both candidates had separate back-
grounds dealing with health issues.“I work in the recovery program for
Harrington Hospital so I’m in the com-munity every day working with people with substance abuse issues … as well as anybody with mental health issues,” Fallon said.
While Degnan served on the Board of Health for four years and has that as his experience, he made it clear that he was only interested in serving out the rest of the term.
“When Linda called me and asked if I would be interested in filling out Dan’s term, I was somewhat reluctant because of the same reason I didn’t run for re-election,” Degnan explained, “Sturbridge is very much into sanita-tion and environmental security; I’m more interested in public health in terms of healthy people.”
Though he was not interested in pursuing the position further, he did explain that he would help his town if they needed it.
“It’s my town and I said if you need
a volunteer, I will volunteer but only until the next election,” Degnan said. “I’d be happy to serve the town if I could do that in one way or another.”
Selectman Mary Dowling explained why she voted in support of Fallon.
“It’s great that you stepped forward but you said that your heart is not real-ly in it … I feel she will go into it with open eyes,” Dowling said.
Though Fallon admitted she did not know much about the operations of the Board of Health, she said she was inter-ested in learning.
“I’m not really 100 percent sure what this is all about. I do feel like I’m inter-ested in learning and knowing,” Fallon said.

A different kind of girls’ day out
BY AMANDA COLLINSVILLAGER STAFF WRITER
AUBURN — A girls’ day out doesn’t necessarily involve shopping or nail polish.
Last year, more than 100 local women came together to shoot with a bow and arrows, hunt turkeys and throw hatch-ets to celebrate their place in the world of outdoor sporting.
This year at least as many ladies — if not more — will gather at the Auburn Sportsman’s Club on Elm Street for the third annual “Women in the Outdoors Event,” which is put on the by Central Mass. Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation. The program pro-vides interactive educational outdoor opportunities, including hunting and non-hunting activities, for women ages 13 and older.
According to Keith Fritz, NWTF chap-
ter president and Spencer resident, it’s their hope that through the education program, women attendees will form a better understanding of the importance shooting sports, ethical hunting and scientific wildlife management play in the organization’s conservation efforts.
The idea to have a program to get females more involved in a domain that tends to be dominated by men started four years ago, with a turkey shoot just for women.
“We had about 15 women come out, and we were thinking ‘Wow, this is great,’” he said.
The next year, they started the “Women in the Outdoors” event, a more comprehensive event that taught participants about more than shooting. About 50 ladies signed up to for daylong event that included classes in every-thing from archery and marksmanship to dutch oven cooking and canning.
Last year, the event really took off, with 116 women coming together for a day of outdoor learning and fun. The event has been such a success, it was picked as the best special event out of 150 across the country by the National Wild Turkey Federation two years in a row. Former “Women in the Outdoors” students Kelly Dalbec, Jennifer Ford and Donna White are coordinating this year’s event.
At this year’s July 19 event, women have 30 courses to choose from, includ-
ing staples like canoeing and kayak-ing and trap shooting, and some new offerings like a power tools 101 class, beekeeping, and a class called “wolf talk,” underwritten by Pete’s Tire Barn, which will include live wolves and a talk about their behavior, eating habits and pack structure.
There’s also a Mass. License to Carry Certification class that will teach the basic skills, knowledge, and attitude necessary for owning and using a pistol safely. It counts as two classes, and will allow participants to apply for their Mass. Firearms License to Carry.
Women will get to take four classes and have the option of camping out overnight following the event.
Fritz said there’s usually an even split among attendees who already have a deep passion for outdoor sporting, and those who are completely new to the idea.
“Some women have already been exposed to these things by their father, or their husband or their boyfriend,” he said. “Then we get those who haven’t been exposed to outdoor sports, maybe because they just never had an opportu-nity, and this gives them that. They can then pass it on to their daughters, and it grows the ranks of women who are involved, and that’s the ultimate goal.”
Classes this year are — archery, advanced archery, basic self defense, beekeeping, canning, canoeing/kaya-king, duct tape crafting, dutch oven cooking, falconry, fly fishing, game pro-cessing, handgun safety, intro to trap-ping, kitchen garden folklore recipes, knife/hatchet throwing, LTC certifica-tion, orienteering, outdoor photogra-phy, power tools, rifle marksmanship, trap-shooting, treestand safety, trou-bleshooting the shooter, turkey hunt-ing, waterfowl ID, wilderness survival, woodsmanship, and wolf talk.

BOSTON — Sen. Stephen M. Brewer (D-Barre) announced that the Senate passed a bill to improve geography education in the Commonwealth.
The bill establishes an 8-mem-ber commission on geography education, adds a representative of the Massachusetts Geographic Alliance to the Council on Global Education, and estab-lishes the first week of April as Massachusetts Geography Week.
The commission on geography education is tasked with studying the status of geography educa-tion from kindergarten through grade 12 in Massachusetts. The commission will also investi-gate the status of programs that
promote geography education, assess best practices in geogra-phy education, and consider the implementation of professional development points to promote teacher participation in geogra-phy education workshops.
“Geography education is a key way that students begin to understand the world around them and how they relate to and affect their environment,” said Brewer. “Through geography education, students learn about the importance of issues like sustainability and conservation on the local, state, national and global levels.”
Each year, Brewer hosts Geography Awareness Day at the State House. In years past,
a teacher from a district school has brought students to the State House to host Geography Awareness Day. The day includes a giant inflatable globe called Earth View displayed in Nurses Hall for students to explore the Earth’s geography on a large-scale view.
“Given the important econom-ic, political and social issues going on in these countries, the need for better geography edu-cation is evident,” said Brewer. “We cannot continue to put our students at a disadvantage by not developing their global awareness.”
The bill will now go to the House of Representatives for consideration and passage.

‘Books on the Bandstand’ continues summer learningSTURBRIDGE — The Joshua Hyde Library is hold-
ing a “Books on the Bandstand” event every Tuesday in July from 10:45 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The all ages chil-dren’s event focuses on crafts, stories and singing.
All the activities are related to science, which is the theme of this year’s summer reading program. If the weather outside is not so inviting, the program will be held in the Library Meeting Room. The Villager
caught up with the Tuesday, July 8 event to see what the kids were up to.

‘A wonderful life’ lived
sort through everything, learn to stand for something, lest you end up falling for anything.
“Discover your purpose in being here, and how to make the most of it. It’ll involve, no doubt, living with, loving, and serving others — some close, some distant, but all in need of something you can and ought to provide.
“Know that the most important thing(s) you’ll ever do will be within the walls of your own home, and that no other success-es in life can compensate for failure in the home. Whatever else you achieve, nothing will be as rewarding or productive or fruitful as the knowledge, values, and standards you pass on to those who come after you. ‘Let those who come behind us find us faithful.’
“Seek after things that are lovely and virtuous and of good report or praisewor-thy. There’s enough ugliness and pain in the world already, enough darkness and disdain, enough intolerance and selfish-ness. Encouraging such stuff follows the formula: ‘Garbage in, garbage out.’ How about pursuing the path of ‘beauty in, beauty out’?
“Know that it’s (truly) a wonderful life, no matter what may befall you. Seize the day, the year, the decade, the century. Review the words spoken by Capt. John H. Miller at the end of ‘Saving Private Ryan,’ wherein he counsels the title’s namesake to, ‘Earn this. Earn it!’
“Then earn your own chance to live with gratitude and thanksgiving. Move forward. Look to the past, but don’t live there. At least not until you’re 66 — or 105. Keep purring until you achieve purr-fec-tion, then move on to the next goal or obstacle.
“Life is wonderful, especially if you look at it through eyes of wonder.”
You’ll never be forgotten, Mark. You were a leader and an inspiration in our newsroom, and your legacy will live on, even though we will never be the same.
I will certainly miss you, Mark. Your life was a ‘wonderful’ one indeed.

STURBRIDGE — Pauline White, of Sturbridge, was presented with a Rotary District 7910 “Unsung Hero” Award. White, an Honorary Rotarian, was recognized for her tireless efforts in helping Sturbridge Rotary.

In her spare time, White is writing the 42-year history of the Club. Each Rotary District issues a limited number of “Unsung Hero” awards at the end of each Rotary year. Nominations are closely reviewed to determine if the nominee meets or exceeds the goals and ideals of the individual club and the District as expressed in Rotary International’s Motto – Service Above Self. White is one of only five to receive the “Unsung Hero” Award within District 7910, which has 52 clubs. Pictured, President Larry Mandell presents the Award.

OSV marks Independence Day with historical flairSTURBRIDGE — Old Sturbridge Village commemorated Independence Day
Friday, July 4, with several events that harkened back to yesteryear. Such events included musket firings, a French and English tug o’ war and readings of the
Declaration of Independence. Those who visited OSV were also able to sign a giant version of the Declaration of Independence posted outside of the Center Meetinghouse. OSV also hosted a fireworks display Saturday, July 5.

Brewer champions funding for Community Transit Services
BOSTON—Sen. Stephen M. Brewer (D-Barre), chairman of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, announced last week that the Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15) conference commit-tee budget adopted by the House of Representatives and the Senate includes $770,000 in funding for Montachusett Regional Transit Authority (MART) to maintain existing transit services through Community Transit Services, or future transit agency.
In recent years, Brewer has advo-cated for funding to ensure that the services offered throughout the MART operating area, including the newly adopted Athol region, are not reduced on account of financing. In addition to funding in FY14 final budget that maintained services offered by MART this past year, Senator Brewer sup-ported funding in a mid-year spending bill to guarantee a smooth financial transition of Athol into the MART ser-vice area. Community Transit Services has received sufficient funding in order to maintain operations. In April, the senator announced that $300,000 was included in the transportation bond bill to complete Phase II repairs to the Athol Depot Transit Center, currently owned by MART. An additional $300,000, facil-itated by Senator Brewer, was autho-rized in Senate Bill 2187, An Act pro-viding for capital facility repairs and improvements for the Commonwealth, passed by the Senate last month.
In 2008, Senator Brewer was instru-mental in securing an authorization of $220,000 in a House and Senate trans-portation bond bill for Phase II dis-abled accessibility improvements to the Center. These included a new walkway, modifications to the doors and vesti-bule, accessible parking, and modifi-cations to existing bathrooms to make them fully handicapped accessible and code compliant.
“Preservation of these transporta-tion services is vital to Athol residents because they are needed throughout the Athol area and beyond,” said Senator Brewer. “Because funding was need-ed in order to preserve this current amount of service, I am proud to con-tinue to support these services through legislation.”
In addition to feeder service, Community Transit Services provides individual transportation to errands such as medical appointments and shopping, as well as individual rides to work.
The FY15 budget recommends $36.5 billion in spending, and builds on many of the priorities articulated in the previ-ously released Senate budget. The bud-get will now go to Gov. Deval Patrick for consideration and passage.
FEMA grant awarded to Sturbridge Fire Department
BOSTON — State Rep. Todd M. Smola (R-Warren) is pleased to announce that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded the Sturbridge Fire Department an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG).
The Sturbridge Fire Department will be receiving $159,600.00 for the acqui-sition of a Brush Fire Truck. FEMA announced Sturbridge’s receipt of an Assistance to Firefighters Grant this morning.
“I am very happy to hear that the Sturbridge Fire Department has been awarded a FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant,” said Smola. “This is a very competitive grant process and these funds will serve to enhance the safety of our community.”
The primary goal of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant is to meet the firefighting and emergency response needs of fire departments and non-affil-iated emergency medical service orga-nizations. These grants help firefighters and other first responders to obtain the critically needed equipment, protective gear, emergency vehicles, and other resources needed to protect the public and emergency personnel from fire and related hazard.
Brewer champions funding for YMCA substance abuse programs
BOSTON — Sen. Stephen M. Brewer (D-Barre) announced recently that
$200,000 has been included for the Alliance of Massachusetts YMCAs, Inc., for high impact speaking engagements for high school aged youth on the sub-ject of substance abuse.
The funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15) compromise budget accepted by the House of Representatives and the Senate.
“Fighting the substance abuse epidem-ic in Massachusetts is a priority of this budget, and I am proud that this fund-ing has been included,” said Brewer. “With this new funding from the state,
YMCAs across Massachusetts—includ-ing ones in my district—will work to educate youth on the serious nature of substance abuse and bring us one step closer to ending this terrible scourge.”
The FY15 compromise proposal also includes $900,000 for matching grants to the YMCAs for programs to combat and prevent youth violence.
“The YMCAs are remarkable orga-nizations and I have seen firsthand the impact they make on a community,” said Brewer. “I have worked hard during my career, especially as Chairman of
the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, to dedicate resources to these valuable programs. Investments in pre-vention programs are a wise use of state funding as they can have a dramatic impact on society, while saving lives and money in the long run.”
The FY15 budget recommends $36.5 billion in spending, and builds on many of the priorities articulated in the pre-viously released Senate budget. The budget will now go to the Governor for consideration.

10 STURBRIDGE VILLAGER • Friday, July 18, 2014
If you are on Facebook, you have no doubt seen the question above every time you log on — an invitation to say something, express yourself and let peo-ple know what’s in that brain of yours.
Well, consider this your invitation to tell us what’s on your mind!
With summer in full swing, what bet-ter time is there to pick up your pen (or sit at your keyboard, enjoying the air conditioning) and let everyone know how you are feeling?
Why not write a letter to the editor?Some writers respond to another let-
ter or Sound Off that had been previous-ly been published in the Villager. Issues, upcoming events, and even thank you notes are just some of the letters we see on a daily basis here in the office. We love to read through the variety of letters we get, and look forward to what will be said next!
We want to recognize all those who have expressed or still continue to express their opinions on these pages, whether by writing a letter or contrib-uting a Sound Off. The opinion section is, indeed, the readers’ forum, and such a diverse cross-section of commentary proves that. It is not always easy to pub-licly state an opinion, especially those writing letters and signing their names, and we thank all of those who have done so.
Looking ahead, we would like to encourage local residents to keep those opinions coming — particularly from those who have never participated in the forum before, although, of course, submissions from past contributors are always welcome. Being a fancy word-smith or having perfect grammar are not prerequisites; all that is really need-ed is having an opinion and being will-ing to share it with others.
With that in mind, and trust me, I know we do this a lot, but we want to again remind readers of our opinion pages policies. All letters to the edi-tor must include the writer’s name, address and telephone number for con-firmation purposes. Letters are run at the editor’s discretion, and no prom-ises will be made as to when a letter will be published. Most of the time, it just depends on space availability. Every effort will be made to accom-modate everyone, but inclusion cannot be guaranteed. Letters sent via e-mail (to [email protected]) are preferred, but submissions may also be mailed or hand-delivered to our office at 25 Elm St., Southbridge, MA 01550.
The Sound Off telephone line is no lon-ger being offered — so readers who may want to comment on a subject, but do not wish to be publicly identified, must now submit Sound Offs via e-mail or “snail” mail. Please make all comments clearly and concisely, to minimize the poten-tial for mistakes when transcribing. Letters that cannot be read, obviously, will not be published, so if you have messy penmanship, please use a com-puter! Sound Off submissions may be e-mailed to [email protected]. Identifying information will not be published, but be sure to label it as a “Sound Off.” Although we prefer people sign their letters, we know there are sometimes extenuating circumstances that may prevent one from doing so, but please try to make every effort to sign your letters.
Please remember that for both letters and Sound Offs, libelous comments, per-sonal attacks and material that cannot be verified will not be published. All submissions are subject to editing as the editor sees fit.
Thanks again, readers, for your thoughts and opinions, and please keep the submissions coming.
Opinions — everyone has one, and we want to hear yours!

Life is filled with so many great m o m e n t s , from the joys of watch-ing a child grow up, to witnessing life’s bench-
marks, and sharing in the successes and accomplishments of our families and friends.
These joys are amplified as we grow older, as we see life through the eyes of the next generation, and we seek to pass on the knowledge and wisdom we have gleaned to make this world a better place after we are gone.
However, there are some storms that rumble through our lifetimes that are incredibly painful to bear, and these times perhaps offer up the hardest les-son of all — that life is short, so make the best out of the days you are blessed with on this earth.
My hands tremble over the keyboard tonight, because it’s with a broken heart that I write this week’s column. It’s a col-umn I hoped I would never have to write.
Stonebridge Press lost a key member of its team last weekend, as staff writer Mark Ashton lost his battle with cancer, leaving a gaping hole in the hearts of his family, friends, newsroom colleagues, and the town of Southbridge — the town he loved.
Last December, Mark took a medical leave of absence after being diagnosed with esophageal cancer. After months of chemotherapy, then surgery, then rehab, and enduring roadblock after roadblock, and complication after complication, it was finally too much, and Mark suc-cumbed to the disease Saturday night, July 12.
Over the past few months, Mark’s desk in the newsroom sat as he left it in early December, his careful notes, pictures and books neatly stacked, a thin layer of dust forming on everything as the months passed by. I didn’t dare touch anything. After all, I had faith he’d be back, better than ever.
Unfortunately, that day would never come, and this company mourns the loss of perhaps one of the greatest writers we have ever had. I would certainly put him in that category among the best, and I don’t think I’m the only one that would make such a bold claim.
In the end, Mark fought the good fight with every ounce of energy he had. He didn’t let being sick control him. He maintained a positive outlook on life, and loved everyone around him with every second he had left.
Now it’s our turn to finish the fight for him.
It was my absolute pleasure to work alongside Mark as his editor for the past couple years. He was fun, always smiling, and always making us laugh in the newsroom with his large arsenal of “punny” one-liners. Many of his stories (and nearly all of his masterpiece col-umns) made me laugh. He was a humble, gentle soul who never sought his own glory (instead, often glorifying the One who created him) but took pride in his work and loved his job to the fullest.
So, how do I possibly pay tribute in words to a man that had such a com-mand over the art of writing? Would anything I say do him justice? Would anything I share paint the clear picture of the man he was?
I will say that one thing that always struck me about Mark was his wisdom. This really shined through in a recent column he wrote back in June, as he addressed this year’s slate of local high school graduates. The piece was written to give his advice to the next generation, but it reads like it could apply to anyone, and as I read it last week one more time, it felt like he was talking to me directly, giving me some sort of parting words to live by.
So, from the keyboard of the man him-self, I’ll let Mark take it from here:
“Don’t trust anyone – but listen to every-one. Then use the God-given common sense, the innate decency, that spark of conscience and personal revelation that all are given. And once you
To the Editor:This year marked the 65th running
of the Leonide J. Lemire Road Race in Southbridge, Mass., on the Fourth of July.
This outstanding, 4.9-mile race, orga-nized by the members of the Leonide J. Lemire VFW Post 6055 and timed by the Central Mass Striders, is the second longest continuous road race in the country, only surpassed by the Boston Marathon.
This year, more than 120 runners participated in the race.
The race organizers deserve great praise for coordinating such a fun and well-run event. Through the years, they have maintained an extremely reasonable registration fee, ranging from $6 to $8. Additionally, the course remains unchanged every year, per-mitting runners to compare their cur-rent performance to that of previous years. The course is well-marked, with ample police officers providing traf-fic control and ensuring safety for all participants. Two water hoses along the course serve to cool the runners in the hot temperatures. The volunteers provide efficient race registration, water stops, and encouragement along the way. The Post provides numerous prizes for participants, ranging from
handmade trophies for top finishers in many categories, including over-all male and female, tri-town resident, military, and oldest and youngest fin-ishers to an assortment of gift cards and practical household items for age group finishers. Every runner is made to feel appreciated following the race, with raffle prizes and delicious post race food. These are all things that are not taken for granted by seasoned run-ners, as many races do not consistently provide these amenities.
The truly special thing about this road race is the sense of community and tradition behind it. The Post is proud to provide such a quality event, and the runners return every year to challenge themselves on such a hot, hilly course. For many in central Massachusetts and northeastern Connecticut, it is a signif-icant part of the summer racing season; for our family, it is a fun tradition that we will continue to take part in for many, many years to come.
Thank you to the Leonide J. Lemire VFW Post 6055 for offering such a wonderful event for the past 65 years. Here’s to many more years of fun and tradition!

With the warm summer days upon us, many people will be heading for vacation spots or taking day trips throughout New England.
If you are an antique enthusiast, there are opportu-nities to search for antiques while you are visiting these destinations.
When peo-ple in central M a s s a c h u s e t t s think of summer
vacation, Cape Cod is at the top of the list. There are a good number of antique shows and shops there. In this column, I’ll focus on flea markets though. A flea market is a great place to look for antiques and still get to spend time outside on your vacation.
The Wellfleet Drive In has movies at night and a busy flea market during the day. I haven’t been there in several years but I used to find at least one thing there for myself or resale every time I went. Their website (wellfleet-cinemas.com) shows that they are open Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday through Aug. 28. They also have vendors selling new products, a concession stand and a playground. They have something that should appeal to every member of your family.
A newer venue is located in Sandwich at the other end of the Cape. The Sandwich Bazaar’s website (the sandwichbazaar.com) states that they are open on Wednesday from 6 a.m. to noon through Oct. 8. They are also open Sundays through Sept. 28 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Reviews show that there are a good amount of antique vendors and that food is available.
If your vacation plans bring you to the beaches of Rhode Island, the Charlestown Flea Market is worth a visit. It is located next to the General Stanton Inn and the website is gener-alstantoninn.com/flea.html. It is open Saturday, Sunday and Monday holi-days from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There are typically a good number of antique dealers. I found an original program from the Dead Horse Hill Auto Climb race that took place from 1905 to 1911. It started at the bottom of Stafford Street
in Worcester and ended after a mile, at the top of the hill in Leicester. It was a find that keeps me going back there when I’m in the area.
If you will be traveling elsewhere in New England, there are flea markets in every state. A web search will help you find flea markets, antique shops and auction houses that you may want to visit in your travels. Some other web-sites that you can use to find flea mar-kets are: americanfleas.com, fleaportal.com, thefleamarkets.com and usflea-markets.com. I suggest calling any flea market you plan to visit first though. A business may have closed but informa-tion on it may still remain on the web.
Closer to home, we are running a number of estate sales this summer with the next one taking place on July 18 and 19 in Hopkinton. Our next antique auction will be held Sept. 25, in Worcester. We hope to see estate sale and auction goers still relaxed from their summer vacations, wherever they take you.

Q: I’ll be retiring and moving south next year, but the thought of getting the house ready to sell is terrifying — help!
“Worrying yourself sick” is more than just an expression.
Research has shown that the body’s stress response involves a variety of physical symptoms — some of which make you feel lousy today, and others which can cause long-term health dam-age.
So what’s a body to do when faced with a big event like yours? As with each of life’s challenges, there are good ways (and not-so-good ways) to handle the situation. The following tips may help you minimize stress and maximize enjoyment of the new adventure that’s coming your way.
First of all — stop worrying! It’s really not that bad.
Next, figure out what you need to do to get your home ready for sale. Set aside an hour to inspect your house, inside and out. Try to see what a potential buyer might see. Make note of repairs, repainting, and re-organization that should be done before putting the house on the market. If you’re willing, invite a realtor to help you with this step.
Once you have your detailed list, separate the work into two categories: Things To Do Yourself; and Things That Require a Professional Contractor.
Make the do-it-yourself list manage-able by “scheduling” specific tasks to be accomplished over the course of the coming year. You might paint your
bedroom in August, clean out your spare room in September, and organize your basement in October. Items that have short-term impact, like carpet cleaning or deck staining, should be scheduled right before the house is to go on the market. But be sure to account for holidays and personal events. For example, if your daughter is getting married at the end of October, you should probably leave the month of October task-free.
Once you’ve set up a reasonable schedule for accomplishing all of the DIY items, figure out when you’d like to get the contract repairs done. If money is tight, schedule the repairs over time to accommodate your budget.
Overall, do your best to stick with the plan. If you establish reasonable goals for each month, you’ll be amazed at how much less stress you feel.
Once you’ve created your manage-able plan for the needed repairs, it’s time to review the contents of your home. You’ll need to decide (or at least start considering) what you will or will not be taking with you.
Donate or sell anything that you won’t be taking with you, leaving fewer items to clean now and fewer items to deal with when your house is sold.
Pick up a few boxes, packing paper and tape and start packing things that you won’t need until you’re in your
new home. Keepsakes, old photos and knick-knacks are items that can be carefully boxed well in advance of moving day. Specialty kitchen items, tableware, out-of-season clothing, books, and other non-essential items can be packed early as well.
If you have lots of décor and lots of furniture, con-
sider packing or storing some of the items. Your house will appear more spacious to prospective buyers if there’s less “stuff” in each room. Ideally, coun-tertops, vanities, tabletops, refrigera-tors and other surfaces should be “clut-ter free” when you put your home on the market.
If you follow these simple tips, you’ll be in pretty good shape. You can also review the moving checklist on the Sullivan & Company website (“Seller Resources” link). The checklist item-izes things you’ll need to do in the two
months prior to moving day. It’s a great way to get a heads up.
By the way, congratulations on reach-ing your retirement milestone — and enjoy the warm weather and sunshine down south!

If everyone were to buy local our town would become stronger and more self sufficient. Jobs would be created, and unemployment within town could be eliminated. Existing businesses could flourish and new ones could arise providing services formerly only provided by national corporations. It’s time to realize the American Dream and stop lining billionaires pockets. Let’s give our neighbors that chance by buying local!

Fun sun projectsThe power of the sun is incred-
ible, and never is that fact more evident than on a sizzling hot summer’s day.
Today, as solar energy gains even more attention, harnessing the sun’s rays via simple solar experiments can translate into fun and educational projects for kids and adults alike. Read on for a roundup of easy proj-ects that are sure to bring new meaning to “fun in the sun” this season.
***Hot Dog!
Whether you call them hot dogs, frankfurters or wieners – there’s no doubt about it, America has a love affair with franks. Using the sun’s energy, this project is a fun summer-time project to heat up the siz-zling sausages! The design of this simple solar cooker allows sunlight to reflect onto the cen-ter hot dog to heat it up faster.
You’ll need: A cardboard (shoe or boot) box; heavy duty aluminum foil; poster board.
To do: Cut a curve in both sides of the box (like a half moon from the top of the box). Cut poster board to fit flush onto the curved cut. Secure poster board to box with duct tape or other strong tape. Cover the curve with heavy-duty tin-foil, shiny side out. Smooth foil over poster board, keeping foil as wrinkle free as possi-ble. Attach (tape or staple) two “tabs” to the center sides of the box (use cardboard from shoe box cover). Poke one hole in
each tab to form a rotisserie type holder. Using a metal bar-becue skewer (or straighten out a metal coat hanger sec-tion and twist one end), thread hot dog onto skewer and into side tabs (see illustration). Place directly in sun, angling cooker to focus heat onto the center hot dog. Turn hot dog as it heats up.
***Sun Power Purifies Water
This amazing demonstration spotlights the power of the sun to purify salt water and make contaminated water drinkable! Using common pantry materi-als, the project is a great “sur-vival” experiment for all ages.
You’ll need: A large clear glass bowl (Pyrex mixing bowl is ideal); a small drinking glass; Saran or other plastic food wrap; food coloring; table salt; a small rock, marble or pebble.
Instructions: Pour tap water into bowl and add a few table-spoons of salt. Add a few drops of food coloring.
Stand up the empty drinking glass in the center of the bowl (water level should be about half way up outside of glass).
Cover the bowl with the plastic food covering. Place a pebble in the exact center of the plastic wrap so it is direct-ly above the top of the glass and forms a dip in the plastic (there needs to be plenty of space between the glass rim and the plastic wrap to allow for drippage). You might have
to loosen wrap a little to allow for dip. Place bowl in direct sun and watch what happens!
Note: The sun’s heat is trapped in the bowl. The salty water will evaporate, rise and condense to form clean water that will drip into the glass!
***Sun Saturation
Did you ever wonder if it’s true that dark colors absorb more heat? Here’s an easy experiment from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that shows sun saturations effect on temperatures.
To do: Cut a three inch circle from white construction paper, and a three inch circle from black construction paper. Place one of each in the bottom of two clear plastic cups or clear deli containers of equal size. Pour a quarter cup of cold water into each container and check the temperature. Cover each cup in clear plastic (Saran) wrap, taping down if necessary. Place in full sun and record how fast the temperature rises in each cup.
***Sun Dried TomatoesTrue “sun dried” tomatoes
are a treat worth waiting for. The authentic recipe thanks the sun for its rich flavor and chewy texture.
Ingredients: Garden toma-toes (plum work well); sea salt; screen frame.
Directions: Slice tomatoes (thinner for firmer tomatoes, thicker for chewy). Place in a single layer atop a clean screen mesh frame. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and/or herbs. Cover with a second layer of screen mesh; secure edges. Allow to dry in the sun for sev-eral days.
Tomatoes are done when they have the consistency of a plump raisin. Store in a zip lock plastic bags or pack in a jar with olive oil. May also be frozen.
***Real Raisins
Getting back to basics some-times means doing things the old fashioned way. While mak-ing raisins from grapes takes patience, the flavor is well worth the wait.
To do: Spread seedless grapes onto a screen frame or on a dry cookie sheet. (They can stay in bunches). Leave in the direct sun and turn at least once daily. To prevent fruit flies, cover the screen with cheesecloth or another screen cover and seal edges. The grapes need at least eight hours of sun per day and will take at least several days and up to a month to dry.
To speed up drying, place pan on the dashboard of a car
parked in the sun. When dry, store in a zip lock bag.

Everyone needs to be aware of the finan-cial resources they will have available in retirement.
But if you’re a woman, you must be particularly diligent, for a variety of reasons. And that means you’ll need to know just what to expect from Social Security.
Why should you, as a woman, pay extra attention to Social Security? For one thing, women often take time off from their careers to care for children and older parents, so they may accumu-late less money in employer-sponsored retirement accounts, such as 401(k) plans. And women still live several years longer than men, according to the Census Bureau.
Clearly, then, you need to get the most you can from Social Security. To do so, you will need to consider at least three key factors:
Age — You can start taking retire-ment benefits as early as 62, but your benefits may be reduced by up to 30 percent unless you wait until your “full retirement age,” which is likely 66 or 67. If you delay taking benefits until 70, your monthly benefits may be up to a third larger than if you started collecting Social Security at your full retirement age. You’ll need to weigh a variety of factors — such as family lon-gevity, income from employer-sponsored retirement plans and your anticipated financial needs — in determining when you should start taking Social Security.
Employment — If you work while receiving Social Security benefits before you reach full retirement age, your bene-fits will be reduced by $1 for every $2 you earn over an annual limit, which gener-ally increases each year. In the year you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be reduced by $1 for every $3 you earn over the limit before your birthday. But once you reach full retirement age, your benefits will no longer be adjusted for earned income.
Marital status — As a spouse, you can generally receive Social Security payments based on your own earnings record or collect a spousal benefit of up to 50 per-cent of your husband’s Social Security benefit. The benefit will
be reduced if you start taking it before your full retirement age. To start collect-ing Social Security spousal benefits, you must be at least 62 years old and your husband must also have filed for his own benefits. If you’re divorced, and you’re not currently married, you can generally receive benefits on your ex-husband’s Social Security record, as long as you meet certain conditions. (For example, you had to have been married to your ex-husband for at least 10 years.)
No matter how much Social Security you ultimately receive, it’s almost cer-tainly not going to be enough to provide all the income you’ll need. So during your working years, try to contribute as much as you can, for as long as you can, to your IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. At the same time, look for other investment opportunities. And when you reach retirement, create a withdrawal strategy that allows you to stretch out the income you receive from your investments for as long as you can.
By saving and investing as much as possible during your working years, maximizing your Social Security pay-ments and carefully managing your financial assets when you’re retired, you
can help improve your chances of enjoy-ing the retirement lifestyle you deserve.
This information is believed to be reliable, but investors should rely on information from the Social Security Administration before making a deci-sion on when to take Social Security benefits. It is general information and not meant to cover all scenarios. Your situation may be different, so be sure to discuss this with the Social Security Administration prior to taking benefits.

Local families enjoy company of Fresh Air kids
to greet their guests and take them back to their homes for a week of summer fun.
According to the Fresh Air Foundation, the organization has helped more than 1.8 million children from New York City enjoy the rural United States free of charge.
Speaking with families, it was not only clear they loved having their Fresh Air kids, but that the kids themselves ate up every experience they gave them.
Lori Allen and her family, from Southbridge, will host Queens, N.Y. res-ident Miroku, 9, for the second year this week. She said it was great having the second grader in their home and was pleased to see him enjoy the simple things most take for granted — like tak-ing a dip in a swimming pool.
“It was a blast,” said Allen, who said it was nice for her younger son Trey, now 17, to have a little brother for a week. “We had a lot of fun. We brought him to different things he had never done
before. He swam in a swimming pool, we brought him to the ocean, Six Flags, Chucky Cheese, laser tag, the zoo, kaya-king, canoeing and the movies. He was so excited about the swimming pool and making his first s’more. My husband and I absolutely love having another little one at home.”
Trey said after being the younger sib-
ling his whole life, it was nice to have someone to be a big brother to.
“I helped him out [playing soccer] … showed him what to do,” said Trey.
Lori said she is ready to have Miroku back in the coming years and hopes to include his siblings next summer.
In Holden, Fresh Air family member Debbie Scheibel said she will be hosting her child, Michael, 13, for the sixth year.
She said she loves having children in her home and Michael has been a great addition, now that her own kids are grown and living on their own.
“It is different — his culture [where he has grown up] is so different from my kids,” said Scheibel. “Anything to him is exciting. [He] just loved doing any sim-ple, little thing. Even just watering the plants was exciting. I love kids … I really missed being with kids.”
In Rutland, former Auburn resident Paige said having her child Skyla of Harlem, N.Y., has been a great experi-ence, especially for her children.
“They love learning about other worlds,” said Paige, who said she stays connected with Skyla and her mother
during the year. Her son Isaac, 11, spoke about his time
with Skyla, adding that it was not only fun learning about where she is from, but getting to know someone new.
“It was almost like having a stranger coming to live with you at first, but then it is like you have a friend sleeping over,” said Isaac.
Webster resident Christina Ralph said she will be hosting her Fresh Air child Ashley, 12, for the fifth year, and her five children can’t wait to have their buddy back for the summer.
“This is what we have been debating — we can’t remember if it’s been five or six [years],” said Ralph with a laugh. “They are always excited when she comes. She is very easy and her favorite thing is the boat, so my husband has been trying to get the boat all fixed and ready to go. She really just gets in and just rolls with the other kids.”

Suhoski cites ‘personal reasons’ for leaving Sturbridge
designated disasters, including a torna-do, hurricane, freak Halloween nor’eas-ter and a severe snow storm,” he wrote.
Suhoski talked on the currently stable state that he believes the town finds itself in.
“Other accomplishments include nearly doubling the Stabilization Fund from $981,675 in March 2010 to $1,893,531 in March 2014 to successfully meet the town’s fiscal policy for reserves, while at the same time restraining property taxes substantially under the Proposition 2 1/2 levy limit in FY14 and FY15,” Suhoski stated.
As far as projects completed during his time, he gave a list that included a new elementary school, renovations to the Town Hall and Center Office Buildings and a new drinking water well.
In his July 7 Town Administrator’s report, Suhoski also outlined the steps the board will need to take to find his replacement.
“In the event of any vacancy in the office of the town administrator, the Board of Selectmen will initiate the appointment procedure within a period of 10 working days,” reads the Town Charter.
First, the board will have to assemble a Town Administrator Search Committee.
According to the Town Charter, as amended in July 2012, the committee
must consist of one member of the Board of Selectmen, one town department head and three registered voters of Sturbridge who do not work for the town.
“The board will need to begin thinking about whether you wish to retain an interim administrator or utilize in-house talent such as the finance director for a short-term basis as an acting adminis-trator,” Suhoski said.
According to the Town Charter, if the board does decide to use an in-house talent, the temporary position is to last no longer than two three-month appoint-ments.
To his successor, Suhoski gave some simple and brief advice.
“Work as a team,” Suhoski said. “Trust in the fact that the department
heads care about their jobs and are very professionally competent.”
Board of Selectmen Chairman Mary Blanchard also commented on the town administrator’s resignation.
“Shaun has put good effort into his work,” Blanchard said. “It’s understand-able that he would look closer to home. Family life comes first.”
“Sturbridge is a wonderfully vibrant and engaged community and I have been most fortunate to have served as your town administrator for the past four-plus years,” Suhoski wrote. “I will miss you all.”

Area lawmakers look to prevent drug problem before it starts
which will target teenagers and those at highest risk for substance abuse.
“Fighting the substance abuse epidem-ic in Massachusetts is a priority of this budget,” said Brewer. “I am proud that this funding has been included. With this new funding from the state, YMCAs across Massachusetts — including ones in my district — will work to educate youth on the serious nature of substance abuse and bring us one step closer to ending this terrible scourge.”
Moore added that funding would also go to area Boys & Girls Clubs, including the facility in Dudley and the Blackstone Valley Boys & Girls Club.
“It is a pretty decent grant,” said Moore during a phone interview on Wednesday, July 9. “It is important to educate young people and keep them from getting [addicted] in the first place.”
He added that education is not only important, but having the right kinds of facilities to treat teens and adults already battling addiction is imperative, calling substance abuse an “epidemic” spread-ing throughout the Commonwealth.
In Southbridge, Tri-Community YMCA Executive Director Glenn Juchno said they are grateful for the second year of funding for their youth-at-risk program, which affects children in Southbridge, Sturbridge, Charlton and Ware. He thanked Brewer, citing him as a major spearhead for the funding.
“This helps us subsidize at-risk youth from low-income families to attend our summer programs, especially at Camp Fosket, which is located in Charlton,” said Juchno. “We used a portion of the funds to start a summer drop off at Hillside Village, a subsidized housing complex in Ware.”
He said the program targets kids who wouldn’t otherwise have access to any kind of summer program. Juchno added
that it gives them the opportunity to meet other children, have a lunch and take part in recreation activities.
“The kids were excited to be in a different environment then their home environment,” said Juchno. “We have had a very positive response. I think it is important for people to know that their money is being put to good use and is having a positive impact on kids and their families.”
Brewer’s office also said the fiscal 2015 state budget “will include $900,000 in matching grants for programs to combat an prevent youth violence.”
“The YMCAs are remarkable orga-nizations and I have seen firsthand the impact they make on a community,” said Brewer. “I have worked hard during my career, especially as chairman of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, to dedicate resources to these valuable programs. Investments in prevention programs are a wise use of state funding as they can have a dramatic impact on
society, while saving lives and money in the long run.”
In Dudley, Webster-Dudley Boys & Girls Club Director Tony Poti said they allocated approximately $24,000 for their substance abuse prevention programs, which affects all club members who range in age from 6 to 17.
He said they run programs in the summer and during the school year, and each drug education lesson is tailored through the club’s national curriculum and is age-appropriate.
“I believe this is the third or fourth year have received funding from the state and it is going very well,” said Poti. “Without this funding it becomes diffi-cult to provide these types of programs for the kids. It means a great deal to the kids and the community as a whole.”

Sturbridge earns insurance premium credits through MIIA
STURBRIDGE — Sturbridge has received $7,465 back on its workers compensation and property casualty insurance costs.
The municipality earned the cred-its — which will be applied toward premiums for the next fiscal year — through proactive and voluntary par-ticipation in loss prevention and risk management activities that are part of incentive programs offered by the Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association (MIIA), its insurance pro-vider.
MIIA offers these no-cost training and educational courses as a benefit to help its members reduce their risks and insurance premiums. In fiscal year 2014, MIIA awarded over $2.3 million of premium credits collectively to the membership through its Rewards pro-gram resulting in a 12-year total of $22.1 million.
Committed to keeping the community safer and fiscally stronger, Sturbridge implemented loss control measures and administrative procedures that reduce the risk of accidents and property dam-age. In addition, employees participat-ed in training programs that promote effective management and operations.
“The MIIA Rewards program bene-fits the community in two ways,” said Town Administrator Shaun A. Suhoski. “First, through training, education and best management practices the Town reduces its potential exposure to liabili-ty, and, second, the Town receives direct credit against its annual insurance pre-miums. I credit all of the department heads that participate in this program to the advantage of all taxpayers.”
Stanley Corcoran, Executive Vice President of MIIA said, “MIIA is pleased to partner with our members to help establish effective and cost-saving best practices, and to reward them each year for implementing such innovative loss control programs. Congratulations to Sturbridge for working proactively to mitigate risk, lower potential munici-pal liability, and reduce municipal tax-payer burden.”
The Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association (MIIA) is the non-profit insurance arm of the Massachusetts Municipal Association. As a member-based organization, MIIA’s only focus is to provide excel-lent service and quality risk man-agement solutions to Massachusetts municipalities and related public
entities. Municipal insurance its only business, MIIA insures nearly 400 cit-ies, towns, and other public entities in Massachusetts. For more information, visit www.emiia.org and www.mma.org.

Brewer champions funding for YMCA substance abuse programs
BOSTON — Sen. Stephen M. Brewer (D-Barre) announced recently that $200,000 has been included for the Alliance of Massachusetts YMCAs, Inc., for high impact speaking engagements for high school aged youth on the sub-ject of substance abuse.
The funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15) compromise budget accepted by the House of Representatives and the Senate.
“Fighting the substance abuse epidem-ic in Massachusetts is a priority of this budget, and I am proud that this fund-ing has been included,” said Brewer. “With this new funding from the state, YMCAs across Massachusetts—includ-ing ones in my district—will work to educate youth on the serious nature of substance abuse and bring us one step closer to ending this terrible scourge.”
The FY15 compromise proposal also includes $900,000 for matching grants to the YMCAs for programs to combat and prevent youth violence.
“The YMCAs are remarkable orga-nizations and I have seen firsthand the impact they make on a community,” said Brewer. “I have worked hard during
my career, especially as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, to dedicate resources to these valuable programs. Investments in pre-vention programs are a wise use of state funding as they can have a dramatic impact on society, while saving lives and money in the long run.”
The FY15 budget recommends $36.5 billion in spending, and builds on many of the priorities articulated in the pre-viously released Senate budget. The budget will now go to the Governor for consideration.
Fire & Ice Day at Old Sturbridge Village this weekend
STURBRIDGE — To celebrate its July 19 “Fire & Ice” old-fashioned fireman’s muster, Old Sturbridge Village is offer-ing half-price admission for all firefight-ers, and free admission to children age 17 and under when accompanied by an adult paying full price.
The free youth admission offer is lim-ited to five children per one adult, no further discounts apply. Antique fire engines, including a variety of early hand-pumpers and a rare 1925 Stutz fire truck will be on display and will take part in grand parade around the OSV Common. Visitors can join in bucket brigades and pumping contests, watch vintage ice cream making, and help judge the Best Chili in History Contest, with entries from noted area restau-rants. Junior Firefighters and Fire Explorer Scouts will compete in the only sanctioned fire muster for them in the northeast.
The earliest of fire engines are called “hand tubs” and were pulled by the firefighters themselves, who then pumped the long handles on each side, called “brakes,” drawing water from the engine’s “tub” to spray on the fire. Hand pumping was exhausting work and required many volunteers to work the pump. But without fire hydrants in early America, lines of citizens called a ‘bucket brigade’ passed water buckets hand to hand to keep the hand tubs filled. Visitors of all ages can take part in bucket brigade competitions at OSV, which are especially popular with chil-dren.
For the “ice” part of “Fire & Ice Day,” Old Sturbridge Village food historians will demonstrate 18th- and 19th-centu-ry ice cream making techniques using early “receipts” or recipes. These rec-ipes from early America sometimes include flavors that might seem unusu-al to us, including ginger, gooseberry,
and Parmesan, which tastes a bit like cheesecake. Ice cream in the early 1800s was sometimes colored red or pink with cochineal dye, made from dried insects imported from Mexico. Visitors can watch demonstrations of the sor-betiere and hand-cranked ice cream machine. Copies of the “receipts” for the ice cream will be available.
Before the early 1800s, ice cream was a rare treat, and usually reserved for the rich and royal. The ancient Romans made “sweet snow,” desserts combin-ing juice or wine and mountain snow and ice. By the 1660s, Europeans added cream to the recipe and used ice and salt to super-cool the dairy dishes or frozen ices. Before refrigeration became widely available in the 20th century, fro-zen products like ice cream were very expensive. The earliest known descrip-tion of ice cream in America was at a lavish dinner given by the Governor of Maryland in 1744. Ice cream became more popular with the masses after the hand-crank ice cream machine was pat-ented by Nancy Johnson of Philadelphia in 1843.
DID YOU KNOW? FIREFIGHTING HISTORY
• In 1736 young Benjamin Franklin urged readers of his Pennsylvanian Gazette to establish fire-fighting compa-nies as a means to prevent a catastroph-ic citywide fire, writing “…An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
• Early fire engines, called “hand tubs,” were not pulled by horses, but by the firefighters themselves.
• First developed in the 1700s, these hand tub fire engines were used for well over a century, until replaced by heavi-er, horse-drawn and steam powered fire engines in the late 1800s.

DVD theft at library leads to arrest
with his free hand, which Fortier found odd at the time.
Fortier also spoke with another employee of the library, Emily DiRozza, who had contact with Miranda in school.
“She advised he was lingering around in the isle where the DVDs are kept, which seemed suspicious,” Fortier said in court documents.
Although she did not confront him, after he left, she noticed the DVDs were missing.
McDonald had looked up the replace-ment costs for the DVDs that were
taken.“They ranged in price from $20 to $50
for the box sets,” Fortier noted.With 18 discs taken, the total replace-
ment costs were $265.At this point, Fortier went to
Miranda’s house on Village Green.Miranda came to the door only in his
boxers and Fortier asked him for the items he took from the library.
“The magazines?” Miranda respond-ed.
Fortier corrected him by saying the DVDs, which Miranda said he would retrieve.
Miranda came back with all 18 DVDs and was subsequently placed under arrest and booked.
During the process, Fortier asked
Miranda why he had taken the DVDs. Miranda responded that he believed he could take them, according to the police report.
Fortier followed this by asking him why he felt the need to hide the DVDs in his pants, as he had seen when he drove by before he received the call from dispatch.
“He did not see anything wrong with it,” Fortier said Miranda responded with in court documents.
He added that Miranda said he had returned the materials and did not know why he was being arrested.
Joshua Hyde Library Director Becky Plimpton commented that the event, although unfortunate, was something that was not uncommon for the library
to deal with.“The Sturbridge Police Department
did a great job of addressing our call quickly,” Plimpton said. “They made an arrest only hours later and were able to return material that cost hundreds of dollars.”
Miranda was arraigned in Dudley District Court on Thursday, July 10, where he entered no plea.
He was released on $100 cash bail, which he paid the same day.
He is due back in court on Monday, Aug. 4 for his pretrial hearing.

PreparationBoil the lasagna according to the directions on the package. Boil them fully, as they
will not be in the oven long enough to soften. Slice the Eggplant (peel first if you’d like) into 1/8 inch thick round discs and driz-
zle with olive oil and season with pepper, dip in grated parmesan cheese. Quickly grill the eggplant on a hot grill on both sides and set aside. These can be roasted in the oven for 5 – 8 minutes…watch carefully.
Slice the tomato into 1/8 in discs from top to bottom, season with sea salt and black pepper. Quickly grill the tomatoes on both sides using a hot grill and set aside. These also can be roasted in the oven for 5 minutes….watch carefully.
In a small baking dish, line the bottom with a few drops of olive oil, the lasagna noodles, the grilled/roasted eggplant and then layer with tomato, fresh basil and the sliced mozzarella. Keep doing this until the pan is filled and season as you go with and pepper. You will want to end up with the eggplant on top.
Bake in an oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes and set aside, let rest a moment, cut and serve
This is great with a salad or with grilled meat.

Mix It Up To Stay In Shape(NAPS)
Not only is variety the spice of life, it can also be a good way to help you stick to your exercise routine. Changing up your workout and adding new activities keep the body chal-lenged and your mind moti-vated. Here are some easy tips to make staying fit both fresh and fun.
EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO HAPPINESS
For a change of pace, head outside and enjoy a mix of fit-ness activities, from running and hiking to beach volley-ball and swimming. A report from the National Institutes of Health suggests that being out in the sun can improve your mood—adding a lift to your workout. Mix up your work-out by bringing it indoors and meeting a friend for a cardio kickboxing or hot yoga class.
In fact, participating in a variety of activities has anoth-er benefit that may surprise you. According to lifestyle and fitness expert Tom Holland, changing up your workout—such as alternating between running and strength train-ing—engages new and differ-ent muscles. Holland says this helps prevent your body from adapting to a repetitive activ-
ity, and can lead to improved fitness levels and results.
No matter where or what form of exercise you do, just the activity alone can help you feel pretty euphoric. A study by the Harvard Medical School says this may be because exer-cise enhances the action of endorphins—chemicals that circulate throughout the body, improve immunity and reduce the perception of pain. Plus, exercise stimulates the neu-rotransmitter norepinephrine, which can help put you in a good mood.
HELPFUL EQUIPMENT
Whether you’re walking the dog or lifting weights, there are versatile products to pro-vide the boost you need to stay healthy and fit. Here’s a look at three:
• Bowflex Boost™—a smart activity tracker designed for people of all fitness levels. It’s a 24-hour monitoring band that tracks activities (calories, steps and distance) throughout the day and into the night. It lets you personalize your daily goals and offers insights that empower you to make positive change. The band is designed with Bluetooth® Smart tech-nology, provides extended bat-tery life of up to 11 days and
is available for iOS devices (4s and higher) and Android devic-es (4.3 and higher). See more at www.bowflexboost.com.
• Bowflex MAX Trainer™—This groundbreak-ing cardio machine burns more than 21⁄2 times the calories than any other fitness equipment, engages the upper body 80 per-cent more than a traditional elliptical and is easier on the joints than running on a tread-mill. In addition, a 14-minute interval workout maximizes afterburn and increases your metabolism up to 48 hours after a workout. Its unique up right design and small footprint make it ideal for in-home use. Learn more about it at www.bowflexmaxtrainer.com.
• B o w f l e x Revolution®—With this machine you can do over 100 exercises with up to 400 vari-ations. It’s designed to work every major body zone and sup-port every workout routine, strength level and fitness goal. Find out more at www.bowflex-homegyms.com.

smart activity tracker can help you keep your pace.
Dental Problems In Children Linked To Bullying
(NAPS)
Here’s surprising news that can help parents take a bite out of the issue of bul-lying: Having “ugly” teeth may significantly contrib-ute to the problem, accord-ing to a recent study pub-lished in the American Journal of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Or tho pedics. According to the study, teeth were the No. 1-tar-geted physical feature to increase a child’s chance of being bullied, followed by the child’s strength and weight.
Adds Robert E. Varner, DMD, president of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), orthodontists have long been aware of the rela-tionship between how teeth look and poor self-es-teem—no matter the age
of the patient. “A person’s smile is very important in communication and inter-personal relations,” says Dr. Varner. “Our teeth are visible, so when they are poorly aligned, this can be an easy target for teasing or bullying. Parents often confide that their child is being ‘teased’ about the appearance of his or her teeth.”
Dr. Varner offers five suggestions that may help.
1. Let your child know that most kids even into their early teens may still have baby teeth and as he/she gets older and more permanent teeth appear, his/her looks and smile will change. And the looks and smiles of the kids making fun of him/her will change, too.
2. Make an appoint-
ment with an orthodontist who is a member of the AAO, which recommends that every child see an orthodontist no later than age 7 in order to check for abnormalities or issues that could benefit from early orthodontic treat-ment. Most children won’t need it, but it’s a good idea to make sure your child’s jaw and bite are develop-ing normally.
3. At the appoint-ment, ask the orthodontist to explain to your child that orthodontic treat-ment creates a healthy, beautiful smile. This will reassure the child that he/she won’t have that gap or overbite forever.
4. Some orthodon-tists offer computer imag-ing that shows how your child may look after ortho-dontic treatment. Seeing this transformation can be exciting and reassur-ing, soothing your child’s fears about how he/she will look.
5. Find photos of celebrities when they were young. Many who had crooked teeth or gap-toothed smiles grew up to be successful athletes, actors, artists, writers, world leaders and more. It can help send the message that you’re not worried about how his/her teeth look and he/she needn’t be, either. To locate a nearby orthodontist, visit www.mylifemysmile.org, the official website of the American Association of Orthodontists.
One way parents can protect their youngsters from bullying is to provide proper dental care.
(NAPS)
If you’re a man who is carrying a few extra pounds, there’s good news. Any time can be the right time to start and strengthen healthier habits and lose the weight.
Some find that the warmer weather of summer and early fall can be a great time to get in shape. That’s because the longer days can make it easier to find workout partners or teams to join. It can also be a great time to enjoy season-al fruits and vegetables such as blueber-ries, peaches and sweet corn.
With extra pounds linked to health problems such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers, getting to a healthy weight can be a step in the right direction. To help you get in the game, here are some tips from the Weight-control Information Network (WIN), a national information service of the National Institute of Diabetes and
Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health:
GET FITTER, STRONGER, FASTER
• Start with a level of activity that feels doable. For example, 10 min-utes each day. Increase frequency, time and intensity as you become able to do more.
• Mix it up. To get and stay on track, try different kinds of activities. Make sure your routine includes aero-bic exercise (walking, jogging, biking), strength training (free weights, crunch-es, push-ups), and flexibility exercises like stretching or yoga.
POWER UP WITH NUTRIENT-DENSE FOODS AND DRINKS
• Eat and drink smart. Choose foods and drinks that pack plenty of vitamins, minerals and fiber into fewer calories. Fruit, vegetables, lean meats and seafood, and water or fat-free milk are all good options.
• Outsmart your inner picky eater. Sneak in fruits and vegetables. Add berries to your cereal or crunchy vegetables to your sandwich.
STICK WITH IT FOR THE LONG RUN
• Form your own team. Find a workout partner or group to help you stay on track.

The Valuable Meaning Of Health Transactions
(NAPS)
In this digital age, the U.S. health care system has also become digital. Every day, millions of people interact with it. During these interactions, data is collected, processed and stored, creating a seemingly infinite amount of information—yet each single data point has meaning. The collection of data for any given individual offers valuable insight into his or her health behavior patterns. This data can be used to support individuals in their efforts to live healthier lives. For example, when a person participates in a health screen-ing, the resulting transaction can generate a response that reinforces this positive activity. The response can be provided in the form of gift cards, co-pay adjust-ments, even encouraging text messages.
Data Can Accelerate Healthier Choices“Data writes a rich story of healthy actions and pro-
vides a road map for behavior change. Data transac-tions trigger a cascade of events that, through technol-ogy and behavioral science, can help improve health at the individual and population level. As a result, people are able to become engaged in the process of living healthier,” says Dr. Josh Klapow, Chief Behavioral Scientist at ChipRewards. ChipRewards is a behavioral science–based technology company that uses its pro-prietary Web-enabled platform to assist health plans,
employers, providers and other industry stakeholders in developing and implementing large-scale health incentive and engagement solutions. The company adheres to established privacy standards, and uses technology created by BMC Software to build a secure environment for its data where it processes millions of transactions to reward and encourage healthy behav-iors.
For example, an aging steelworker had an annual physical for which he earned an insurance premium reduction. He also completed a biometric screening, making him eligible for a disease management pro-gram. Because he walked 8,000 steps in a day, he needs just 5,000 more to get a bonus incentive for the week. He also receives a reminder that after one more pre-scription refill his co-pay will be waived and that he can earn $50 in his health savings account if his child is vaccinated.
Then there’s a busy sales executive who has not yet had an annual mammogram. The system sends a reminder on her mobile device to schedule the appoint-ment. After the mammography, she gets a reinforc-ing communication and an incentive. Later, after an unhealthy glucose reading at a biometric screening at work, she is prompted to enroll in a diabetes man-agement program and learns she can earn additional incentives for each program session. Upon completion of all sessions, she is sent a congratulatory e-mail and a reminder of the incentives available in the next quarter if her glucose levels return to a healthy range.
Delivering Incentives For both the steelworker and the sales executive,
the transactions take on real meaning. The data drives a self-monitoring system capable of delivering com-munications and incentives that support them on a daily basis. Originating from thousands of data sourc-
es, millions of health and wellness transactions are processed every day—and every transaction has the potential to improve the health of an individual.
Learn more at www.chiprewards.com and www.bmc.com.
Consumers’ transactions with health care providers can generate information that can be used to reward them with incentives to live a healthier lifestyle.
