2 SPENCER NEW LEADER • Friday, April 4, 2008<br />

Road project scaled back<br />

BY DAVID DORE<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

WEST BROOKFIELD —<br />

Based on the suggestion of<br />

people who live around the<br />

town common, a plan to<br />

reconfigure several roads to<br />

hopefully make two intersections<br />

safer has been<br />

scaled back.<br />

About two dozen people<br />

attended a public hearing<br />

Tuesday, March 25 in Town<br />

Hall to find out what<br />

changes had been made to a<br />

project first proposed in<br />

May 2007.<br />

While the original plan<br />

called for the removal of<br />

the traffic island and<br />

memorial at the intersection<br />

of East Main Street<br />

(Route 9) and School Street,<br />

the proposal now calls for<br />

the island to be reduced<br />

slightly. The dual two-way<br />

roads around the island<br />

would each become oneway<br />

roads — one side to<br />

enter School Street, the<br />

other to exit.<br />

At the other end of<br />

School Street, where it joins<br />

North Main Street (Route<br />

67) and Church Street,<br />

plans to install stop signs in<br />

all four directions — including<br />

on North Main Street —<br />

have been scrapped. There<br />

would still be left turn lanes<br />

on all three roads.<br />

“It really didn’t make<br />

sense,”<br />

Highway<br />

Superintendent Jason<br />

Benoit said of the four-way<br />

stop sign proposal. “I think<br />

there was enough input<br />

from the public to say, ‘Hey,<br />

that’s going to cause a traffic<br />

nightmare, especially<br />

during certain times of the<br />

day.’”<br />

Stop signs already at the<br />

end of Church and School<br />

streets would remain.<br />

According to Lindsey N.<br />

Szafran, senior project<br />

engineer for SEA<br />

SOME RESIDENTS QUESTION WHETHER<br />

CONSTRUCTION STILL NEEDED<br />

Consultants Inc. of Cambridge,<br />

explains to Richard Rossman,<br />

right, changes that have been<br />

made to a project to reconfigure<br />

roads around the West<br />

Brookfield common during a<br />

public hearing March 25.<br />

Consultants Inc. of<br />

Cambridge, additional stop<br />

signs would be installed<br />

across from each intersection<br />

for the benefit of drivers<br />

using the left turn lanes.<br />

Trees would be removed<br />

from the intersection of<br />

North Main, Church and<br />

School streets, Szafran said,<br />

but would be replaced elsewhere<br />

around the town<br />

common.<br />

Six parking spaces would<br />

be created on School Street<br />

near the bandstand, along<br />

with eight parking spaces<br />

on Church and North Main<br />

streets that could be used<br />

by members of the First<br />

Congregational Church<br />

during services.<br />

But, church members<br />

pointed out last week, the<br />

new parking spaces (combined<br />

with granite curbing<br />

that would be installed<br />

around the common on<br />

School and North Main<br />

streets) would mean the<br />

loss of direct access from<br />

<strong>Spencer</strong> woman dies in car crash<br />

BY DAVID DORE<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

SPENCER — A single-vehicle accident last week<br />

claimed the life of an 83-year-old <strong>Spencer</strong> resident and<br />

injured her husband.<br />

Lorraine B. Zukas of 69 Smithville Road was pronounced<br />

dead Wednesday, March 26 at St. Vincent Hospital<br />

in Worcester.<br />

Her 83-year-old husband, William, was transported by<br />

ambulance to the University of Massachusetts Medical<br />

Center in Worcester with injuries not considered life<br />

threatening. He was listed in good condition Friday, March<br />

28.<br />

HOW TO USE<br />

the church to the common.<br />

Szafran said the crosswalk<br />

in front of the church<br />

across North Main Street<br />

would have to be moved if<br />

parking spaces are created<br />

there to comply with government<br />

regulations.<br />

Selectmen Chairman<br />

John V. Tivnan said later<br />

that changes to the crosswalk<br />

in front of the church<br />

are “seriously being considered.”<br />

The purpose of the project<br />

is to reduce the number<br />

of motor vehicle accidents<br />

that have occurred at the<br />

intersection of North Main<br />

and School streets — 11 in<br />

all, including two since the<br />

May hearing.<br />

COST HEADED DOWN?<br />

According to Benoit, the<br />

plan’s initial cost of more<br />

than $1 million included<br />

replacing a nearly centuryold<br />

water line in the area.<br />

“We eliminated the water<br />

line for various reasons,”<br />

Benoit said, “and the price<br />

of the project is probably<br />

going to come down under<br />

that.”<br />

Benoit said his “guesstimation”<br />

of the new cost<br />

would be $800,000 to<br />

$900,000.<br />

While Benoit said his<br />

intent was to replace the<br />

water line, “the Water<br />

Department has shed a lot<br />

of influence on that and<br />

said that they feel very comfortable<br />

with the lines, even<br />

at their age.”<br />

Most of the money to pay<br />

for the project would “hopefully”<br />

come from the<br />

Massachusetts Highway<br />

Department, Benoit<br />

explained.<br />

“We’re going to apply for<br />

a grant, and we stand a very<br />

good chance of securing the<br />

money,” he said.<br />

After the public hearing,<br />

According to a press release from <strong>Spencer</strong> police, at 11:13<br />

a.m. March 26, officers responded to a report of a 1994 Geo<br />

Metro sedan that struck a tree on Woodside Road. When<br />

crews arrived, Lorraine Zukas (who was the passenger)<br />

was unresponsive, and officers began administering CPR.<br />

Police logs indicate that while one of the occupants was<br />

unconscious, the other could not answers officers’ questions.<br />

The obituary for Lorraine Zukas stated she suffered a<br />

heart attack while she was a passenger in the car.<br />

Officer Valerie Morin is investigating the accident, with<br />

help from Trooper John Jakobowski from the State Police<br />

Reconstruction Unit.<br />

A call placed to Morin at <strong>Spencer</strong> police<br />

headquarters Monday, March 31 to get an<br />

update on the investigation was not returned<br />

before press time.<br />

David Dore may be reached at (508) 909-4140,<br />

or by e-mail at ddore@stonebridgepress.com.<br />

BOUQUET OF<br />

THE WEEK<br />

Benoit told the New Leader<br />

that the goal of the project<br />

— making the intersections<br />

safer for drivers — “makes<br />

us more eligible for funding<br />

from the state.”<br />

The review process for<br />

the grant can take up to a<br />

year, Benoit said.<br />

Meanwhile, Executive<br />

Secretary Johanna Barry<br />

said, MassHighway has the<br />

project on a “tentative<br />

schedule” for 2010.<br />

While some worried the<br />

timetable could mean construction<br />

occurring during<br />

the celebration of the 350th<br />

anniversary of the establishment<br />

of the Quaboag<br />

Plantation, Selectman<br />

Thomas Long said the town<br />

would do its part to make<br />

sure the celebration occurs<br />

unimpeded.<br />

While Tivnan said the<br />

project would be a way to<br />

beautify the area around<br />

the town common, he also<br />

said it was a way to bring<br />

tax dollars back to West<br />

Brookfield.<br />

“If you want to spend<br />

your federal money, you<br />

know, let them send it to<br />

Iraq, if that’s what you<br />

want to do,” Tivnan said,<br />

“but I would like to spend<br />

some of that money right<br />

here in good ol’ West<br />

Brookfield.”<br />

Church Street resident<br />

Carla Tafel, who has been<br />

critical of the project and<br />

how it’s been presented,<br />

said it was “completely<br />

ridiculous that we have to<br />

spend $1 million because<br />

it’s tax money and then<br />

change the whole common.”<br />

“We’re not changing the<br />

whole common,” Tivnan<br />

said. “We’re making very<br />

minor modifications.”<br />

“It doesn’t need to be<br />

changed,” Tafel maintained.<br />

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

WARREN — At the end of this<br />

school year, Emily Sausville will<br />

graduate from high school.<br />

That would not be unusual if<br />

Sausville was in her senior year of<br />

high school. Instead, this 16-yearold<br />

junior at Quaboag Regional<br />

High School has been enrolled in<br />

college level classes for the last<br />

three years.<br />

“I’ve been very impressed by<br />

what she’s undertaken,” said<br />

Quaboag Principal Michael<br />

Rooney. “She’s clearly shown that<br />

she’s capable of handling that<br />

advanced work,” Rooney added.<br />

Simultaneously enrolled in<br />

Quaboag and Holyoke<br />

Community College (HCC),<br />

Sausville travels to the western<br />

part of the state twice a week for<br />

advanced classes. She is currently<br />

taking Intro to Psychology and<br />

English 102 at HCC, with a couple<br />

of years of additional English<br />

classes already under her belt.<br />

“Taking college classes while in<br />

high school is a remarkable<br />

endeavor in itself,” said English<br />

teacher Nick Bostock, who said<br />

Sausville is one of his most conscientious<br />

students, “with a global<br />

perspective that far exceeds the<br />

classroom.”<br />

Another standout line in her<br />

academic portfolio is the completion<br />

of American<br />

Sign Language classes<br />

one through four<br />

at Elms College in<br />

Chicopee, where she<br />

also<br />

took<br />

Introduction to Deaf<br />

Studies.<br />

The desire to learn<br />

sign language came<br />

from Sausville’s own<br />

hearing condition,<br />

which has caused 70<br />

percent hearing loss<br />

in one ear and 30 percent<br />

in the other. She<br />

explained that after<br />

years of Spanish and<br />

French classes,<br />

unable to fully grasp<br />

either language, she<br />

opted for sign language<br />

partially as a<br />

precaution, in case<br />

her own hearing degrades any further.<br />

Being hearing impaired has<br />

clearly not slowed her down at all.<br />

Sausville will continue taking college<br />

level classes next year, and is<br />

scheduled to earn her associate’s<br />

degree in Deaf Studies before she<br />

turns 18.<br />

Sausville, a National Honor<br />

Society member, said that following<br />

the completion of her associate’s<br />

degree, she will enroll fulltime<br />

in college for the 2009-10<br />

school year, where<br />

she plans on pursuing<br />

a career in either<br />

forensic science or<br />

early education.<br />

“Emily is a special<br />

student, who possesses<br />

a rare combination<br />

of intelligence, motivation,<br />

sincerity, personality,<br />

and dedication,”<br />

described<br />

Megan Potenti, a<br />

social studies teacher<br />

at Quaboag.<br />

Outside of school,<br />

College, Sausville is a very<br />

Regional civic-minded individual.<br />

Active in the<br />

Bethlehem Lutheran<br />

Church<br />

in<br />

Sturbridge, she translates<br />

the gospel readings<br />

into sign language<br />

during youth ministries,<br />

and participates in mission trips<br />

that have taken her to different<br />

states to perform various charitable<br />

tasks. Sausville has also been<br />

part of the Girl Scouts of America<br />

for the last 11 years, through<br />

which she volunteers at a soup<br />

kitchen and has participated in<br />

numerous clean-up events.<br />

This summer, Sausville will<br />

take part in a cultural exchange<br />

trip, where she will spend a few<br />

weeks in Australia as a student<br />

Quaboag<br />

Middle/High School junior<br />

Emily Sausville has earned<br />

enough credits to graduate<br />

a year early.<br />

ambassador through the People to<br />

People program.<br />

“It’s a big opportunity,” she said<br />

about the program to which she<br />

had to be nominated by an outside<br />

party.<br />

For relaxation, the ever-busy<br />

Sausville is an avid gymnast, having<br />

taken part in gymnastics since<br />

preschool.<br />

“It’s kind of my recreational<br />

sport,” she said.<br />

In addition to gymnastics,<br />

Sausville is also a member of the<br />

Quaboag Ski Club.<br />

“It’s a fun way for me to exercise<br />

and just enjoy myself,” she<br />

explained.<br />

When asked who in her life has<br />

been her inspiration, Sausville<br />

named a great-aunt who had lived<br />

through the Great Depression and<br />

still managed to travel the world<br />

and earn a college degree.<br />

The second person Sausville<br />

indicated is her mother. She<br />

explained that her mother was the<br />

first person to tell her that despite<br />

her auditory handicap, she can<br />

still accomplish anything, though<br />

she may have to work a little harder<br />

CORRECTION<br />

Because of incorrect information supplied<br />

to the <strong>Spencer</strong> New Leader, the March<br />

28 police log reported that 25-year-old<br />

Stephanie Gaudette, of 275 Pleasant St.,<br />

Leicester, was arrested March 13 for<br />

firearm-armed assault in a dwelling.<br />

According to Leicester Police Chief<br />

James Hurley, Gaudette was actually summonsed<br />

to appear in Western Worcester<br />

District Court.<br />

“This error occurred when the court<br />

action was inadvertently coded as an arrest<br />

rather than a summons in the Leicester<br />

Police Department’s computer system,”<br />

Hurley said.<br />

The New Leader regrets the error.<br />

Unused fire truck could find its way to eBay<br />

BY ELISA KROCHMALNYCKYJ<br />

NEW LEADER CORRESPONDENT<br />

EAST BROOKFIELD — The town is looking<br />

to sell its 1967 fire truck — so it’s hoping<br />

get the best price possible by posting it on<br />

eBay.<br />

“I’ve seen other municipalities do it in<br />

other states,” Selectman Lawrence Gordon<br />

said at Monday’s meeting, adding that he<br />

will first make sure it is OK to sell town<br />

property on the popular Internet auction<br />

site.<br />

The truck, which the town no longer uses,<br />

is a Ford 800 pumper with only 18,000 miles<br />

on it and is in good working condition,<br />

selectmen said.<br />

“Fortunately, fire trucks — at least in this<br />

community — don’t get much use,” Gordon<br />

said.<br />

The truck has been dormant since the<br />

town purchased a new one, and selectmen<br />

said they don’t want it to start deteriorating.<br />

SELECTMAN SUGGESTS SELLING 1967 VEHICLE<br />

ON INTERNET AUCTION SITE<br />

“Let’s just try to move it before it<br />

becomes a heap of rust on the ground,”<br />

Board Chairman Joseph Fish said.<br />

ALSO AT MONDAY’S MEETING:<br />

• The board announced that the Annual<br />

Town Meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m.<br />

Wednesday, May 14 at East Brookfield<br />

Elementary School.<br />

• Board member Leo Fayard said that<br />

once two minor problems with the title for<br />

the Pelletier property are cleared up, a closing<br />

date will be set for the town to finalize<br />

the purchase of the 120-acre parcel. A state<br />

grant will pay $416,000; residents voted last<br />

year to spend up to $300,000 of the town’s<br />

money to cover the rest of the purchase.<br />

• Board members said they hope lots of<br />

residents and business owners stop at the<br />

open house of the new Memorial Town<br />

Complex on Connie Mack Drive from 2-4<br />

p.m. May 4. Guests will be given a tour of<br />

the central location of the library, police<br />

department and town offices, and refreshments<br />

will be served.<br />

• The board held its quarterly staff meeting,<br />

at which, among other issues, board<br />

members asked that at least one member<br />

from each department be available to<br />

answer questions during the open house.<br />

• Concerned citizen Meg Noyes reported<br />

about a state grant to be used for weed control<br />

in Quaboag Pond. The grant requires<br />

each of the three towns affected — East<br />

Brookfield, Sturbridge and Brookfield — to<br />

contribute $10,000 in services and supplies.<br />

Name that open space<br />

EAST BROOKFIELD — What<br />

should the town call the “Pelletier<br />

Property” after it is no longer,<br />

well, the Pelletier property?<br />

Town officials are asking residents<br />

to suggest names for the 120<br />

acres of woodland the town is in<br />

the process of purchasing from<br />

Patricia Pelletier.<br />

Anyone with a suggestion on a<br />

new name for the property, which<br />

will be preserved and used for<br />

passive recreation, is asked to<br />

submit it to the Webmaster at<br />

Town, police union hammer out new contract<br />

BY DAVID DORE<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

WEST BROOKFIELD — Almost a<br />

year ago, the town’s police officers<br />

voted to change the union representing<br />

them from the<br />

International Brotherhood of<br />

Teamsters to the New England<br />

Police Benevolent Association.<br />

The reason, according to West<br />

Brookfield Officer Charles Laperle,<br />

president of NEPBA Local 83, was<br />

because they wanted “police officer-based<br />

union — basically cops<br />

representing cops.”<br />

The change came as the officers’<br />

contract with the town was about to<br />

expire on June 30. With a new<br />

union in place, the negotiations<br />

between the Board of Selectmen<br />

and the NEPBA began.<br />

What came out of those negotiations<br />

was a contract that gives officers<br />

annual 3 percent raises and<br />

increases in some benefits, along<br />

with a benefit they never had<br />

before.<br />

“In general, both sides conceded<br />

some things because of the financial<br />

outlook,” Laperle said.<br />

The new contract, which has<br />

been approved by both officers and<br />

the Board of Selectmen, runs<br />

through June 30, 2010.<br />

Laperle said the 3 percent pay<br />

hikes are “pretty standard, especially<br />

given the financial outlook<br />

[of the town].”<br />

All pay increases will be retroactive<br />

to July 1, 2007. That will not be<br />

a problem for the town, according<br />

to Executive Secretary Johanna<br />

Barry, because some money was<br />

included in this year’s police budget<br />

for that. Also, she said, an officer’s<br />

position that has not yet been<br />

filled means extra money is available<br />

if needed.<br />

According to the contract, new<br />

full-time academy trained police<br />

officers will be paid $15.71 per hour.<br />

The pay rate increases depending<br />

on how long an officer has been a<br />

member of the department — ranging<br />

from $16.74 per hour for officers<br />

with one year of service to $20.34<br />

per hour for officers who have<br />

worked in West Brookfield eight<br />

years.<br />

Part-time officers will be paid<br />

$13.10 per hour this year, with 50-<br />

cent-per-hour increases based on<br />

how many years they have been<br />

with the department.<br />

The new contract includes<br />

increases in the amount officers<br />

receive in addition to their hourly<br />

wage for working nights and weekends.<br />

According to Laperle, the socalled<br />

shift differential increased 35<br />

cents to $1.25 per hour for working<br />

3-11 p.m. weekdays, 45 cents to $1.50<br />

per hour for working 11 p.m. to 7<br />

a.m. during the week, and 10 cents<br />

to $1 per hour for working 7 a.m. to<br />

3 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.<br />

The amount officers receive for<br />

construction details will be increasing<br />

as well, Laperle said. Under the<br />

previous contract, he explained,<br />

officers were paid $32 per hour or<br />

the “prevailing State Police rate”<br />

(currently $40 per hour). The new<br />

contract calls for an hourly detail<br />

rate of $41 through June 30, $42<br />

starting July 1 and $43 starting July<br />

1, 2009.<br />

Other items that increased in the<br />

contract include allowances for<br />

full-time officers of $800 for uniforms<br />

and $450 for cleaning (parttime<br />

officers would receive $325 per<br />

year for uniforms and cleaning);<br />

yearly incentives for receiving an<br />

advanced degree of $1,000 for an<br />

associate’s degree, $1,500 for a bachelor’s<br />

degree and $2,000 for a master’s<br />

degree; and annual stipends<br />

for working at the department for<br />

least five years: for full-timers, $500<br />

for five years, $525 for six to nine<br />

years and $550 for 10 years or more,<br />

and for part-timers, $300 for five<br />

years, $325 for six to nine years and<br />

$350 for 10 or more years.<br />

A new feature in the police contract,<br />

Laperle said, is the option for<br />

officers to save up to five days of<br />

unused vacation time each year<br />

toward their retirement.<br />

“We were very happy with that,”<br />

Laperle said.<br />

Officers already had the option to<br />

carry over up to five days of unused<br />

vacation time each year, to be used<br />

during the first quarter of the new<br />

fiscal year.<br />

Laperle said negotiations for the<br />

new three-year pact were “slow<br />

because both sides wanted to present<br />

their sides. There was no great<br />

rush because we wanted to get it<br />

right.”<br />

Negotiations “kind of took a back<br />

seat” late last year, Laperle<br />

explained, after questions swirled<br />

about the educational credentials of<br />

police Sgt. Brice Leslie. Up for the<br />

police chief ’s position in Warren,<br />

Leslie withdrew from consideration<br />

there and later resigned from<br />

the West Brookfield force.<br />

Once that was resolved, the negotiations<br />

resumed.<br />

“We’re very happy with the contract,”<br />

Laperle said, “and we’re<br />

very thankful with the Board of<br />

Selectmen as well.”<br />

He also said officers were pleased<br />

with how the NEPBA handled the<br />

contract process.<br />

“I cannot express the gratitude<br />

that we have with this union,”<br />

Laperle said. “Their professionalism<br />

was unbelievable.”<br />

Contests shaping up for Planning, school boards<br />

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

EAST BROOKFIELD — The deadline for<br />

the return of nomination papers in the<br />

town of East Brookfield has come and<br />

gone, and the ballot is all but complete for<br />

the May 13 election.<br />

The most vehemently contested race in<br />

the 2008 election is for two of the three<br />

available seats on the town’s Planning<br />

Board.<br />

One position, which carries a short oneyear<br />

term, is up for grabs, with Heather<br />

Gablaski as the only candidate for that<br />

seat.<br />

Two Planning Board positions with<br />

terms of three years apiece will also be<br />

voted on in May. Current members Michael<br />

Jaquith and Andre Cormier are both seeking<br />

reelection to their positions. Opposing<br />

the incumbents are George Miller and<br />

Richard Magwood.<br />

BALLOT ALMOST SET FOR EAST BROOKFIELD<br />

ANNUAL TOWN ELECTION<br />

Miller and Magwood are certainly no<br />

strangers to the strategic planning of East<br />

Brookfield. Both of them served on the<br />

town’s first Master Plan Committee, Miller<br />

as chairman and Magwood as a committee<br />

member.<br />

Jaquith and Cormier are also each members<br />

of the Master Plan Committee, which<br />

had its completed document supported by<br />

the residents of East Brookfield at a<br />

Special Town Meeting in February.<br />

Both vying for one three-year term as the<br />

East Brookfield representative to the<br />

<strong>Spencer</strong>-East Brookfield Regional School<br />

Committee are James Casey and Peter<br />

Rock. Candidates for this position are subject<br />

to change through this week, as a<br />

greater number of signatures are required<br />

for nomination.<br />

Up for the position of <strong>Spencer</strong> representative<br />

to the <strong>Spencer</strong>-East Brookfield<br />

Regional School Committee this year is<br />

Matthew Laliberte.<br />

Additional positions to be voted on<br />

include a three-year term as a member of<br />

the Board of Selectmen. Running unopposed<br />

for the position is incumbent<br />

Lawrence Gordon.<br />

Also running unopposed are incumbents<br />

Rae Anne Barnes for the position of treasurer<br />

and Sandra Kady for tax collector.<br />

Susan Jacobs is the only candidate for a<br />

three-year position on the Board of<br />

Assessors, and Susan Gordon is running<br />

solo for a three-year seat on the Board of<br />

Health.<br />

Richard McNeaney is facing no opposition<br />

to renewing his three-year positions<br />

with the Cemetery Commissioners or the<br />

Trustees of Shade Trees and Cemetery<br />

Funds.<br />

Trustees of the Public Library Thelma<br />

Bloom and Susan Gordon will both be looking<br />

to renew their three-year terms.<br />

Making an unopposed run for a seat on the<br />

Finance Committee will be Sandra Buxton,<br />

and Tree Warden Robert Allen will run to<br />

get his position renewed.<br />

The deadline for voter registration is 8<br />

p.m. Wednesday, April 23.<br />

WRTA secures $6M funding, saves local routes<br />

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

State Sen. Edward M. Augustus (D-<br />

Worcester) announced recently that the<br />

Massachusetts Regional Transit Authorities<br />

(RTAs) can expect some state relief from the<br />

major deficits they are facing.<br />

mental budget,”<br />

Augustus said. “And<br />

in that budget, there’s<br />

$6 million for all of<br />

the RTAs to deal with<br />

deficits they have this<br />

fiscal year.”<br />

Included in that $6<br />

million is $520,000 to<br />

help curb the $2 million<br />

debt of the<br />

Worcester<br />

Transit<br />

(WRTA).<br />

Regional<br />

Authority<br />

“That will take care of their operating<br />

deficit from now until July 1, when their new<br />

fiscal year starts,” Augustus said.<br />

He went on to explain that one of the primary<br />

reasons for the financial situations the<br />

RTAs now find themselves in is the way they<br />

are funded. He said it is the independent<br />

responsibility of each RTA to secure lending<br />

to fund its operating budget and immediate<br />

expenses. The state then picks up only a percentage<br />

of that amount at the end of the<br />

RTAs’ fiscal year. Since they run a deficit of<br />

varying amount each year, the debt accumulates<br />

over time.<br />

“A big chunk of what they budget is servicing<br />

last year’s debt,” Augustus said. “We really<br />

need to fundamentally change the way we<br />

fund our RTAs.”<br />

Augustus explained some of the future<br />

options for funding the transportation system<br />

that he called “a life saving and life sustaining<br />

service for a lot of folks.”<br />

If the state were to consolidate the multiple<br />

debts-on-loans from the RTAs into a single<br />

item, Augustus said, the state could expect<br />

nearly $150,000 in interest savings.<br />

“What we’d like to do is figure out some<br />

way to pay off all the debt,” he said, in hopes<br />

of having a clean slate on which to begin<br />

annually forward funding the RTAs.<br />

Augustus said there is legislation in the<br />

works that would address forward funding to<br />

the RTAs, instead of end-of-the-year debt<br />

servicing.<br />

These reforms come in the wake of an<br />

announcement by the WRTA at the end of<br />

January, to cut routes 110 (Clinton) and 32<br />

(Holden/Jefferson), as well as suspending all<br />

bus service on New Year’s Day, Memorial<br />

Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and<br />

Christmas, effective July 1.<br />

On Wednesday, March 12 and Thursday,<br />

March 13, the WRTA held three public hearings<br />

for residential input on proposed cuts<br />

and service adjustments that could also<br />

potentially take effect on July 1.<br />

The largest alterations will be made to<br />

routes 3, 4, 10, 15, 18, 25, and 30, with slight<br />

alterations to accommodate the new routes<br />

made to 2, 5, 14, and 22, all of which service<br />

the city of Worcester.<br />

Details of the proposed changes are available<br />

at the WRTA’s Web site,<br />

Heads up on bagging a bargain at Wrights Factory Outlet<br />

The recent news that Wrights<br />

Factory Outlet in Sturbridge<br />

is closing looms like a black<br />

cloud over the heads of area<br />

crafters, sewers and home decorators<br />

who have long depended on the<br />

outlet for a source of inspiration<br />

and materials. But like most industrious<br />

types, these do-it-yourselfers<br />

are also anticipating the cloud’s silver<br />

lining — drastically cut prices<br />

on ribbons, trims, fabrics and more.<br />

Here’s the “heads up” on the store’s<br />

liquidation, according to Store<br />

Manager Joyce Parker: From April 1<br />

through April 25, prices will be slashed<br />

25 percent throughout the store. While<br />

price are expected to continue to be<br />

lowered, Parker explained there are no<br />

exact discount percentages planned.<br />

Nor is there a projected closing date for<br />

the store, which has been housed in the<br />

Sturbridge Marketplace for the past 16 years.<br />

“We have no scheduled sales and no scheduled<br />

date to shut our doors,” she said, adding,<br />

“It is just business as usual until we close.”<br />

Dismissing early expectations the store<br />

would stay open until the end of the summer,<br />

Parker predicts the store will sell out quicker<br />

than expected as patrons stock up on goods<br />

and supplies.<br />

“The initial date (Wrights officials) gave us<br />

was September 2008. But we feel the store will<br />

close before that,” she revealed.<br />

Parker reports Wrights Factory Outlet,<br />

which sells sewing trims, ribbons, fabrics and<br />

more at factory direct prices, has been business<br />

for more than six decades. The first outlet<br />

began in the William E. Wright Company<br />

plant building in West<br />

Warren and moved to<br />

two other Warren<br />

addresses before settling<br />

into its present<br />

Main<br />

Street<br />

Sturbridge location in<br />

1992.<br />

“I really want to<br />

thank all our customers<br />

for their support<br />

through the<br />

years. Sharing projects<br />

with each other<br />

has been lots of fun<br />

and we hope they will<br />

support us until we’re<br />

not here anymore,”<br />

Parker said.<br />

Wright Company<br />

NOW OPEN<br />

closed the Warren factory operations<br />

in 2003 when it began its move to<br />

Antioch, Tenn. The company halted<br />

manufacture of sewing and craft<br />

notions when it closed the plant, and<br />

now markets and distributes Wright<br />

brand goods through the Tennessee<br />

operations. About 50 financial and<br />

marketing officers remain at the<br />

Warren plant offices, according to<br />

Parker.<br />

TACKLING TRIVIA IN BRIMFIELD<br />

Baby’s Breath, Inc. to host art show in Worcester<br />

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

Keeping up with the news of<br />

your community<br />

<strong>Spencer</strong> New Leader - ww.spencernewleader.com<br />

LEICESTER — On Friday, April 11, Baby’s<br />

Breath, Inc. will host an art show at the Dzian<br />

Gallery in Worcester.<br />

The show, titled “A Unique Series of<br />

Contemporary Watercolors,” is being held as<br />

a fund-raiser for Baby’s Breath, a nonprofit<br />

organization that “will work within the foster<br />

care system to provide high-risk infants and<br />

toddlers with a safe, family-focused, childcentered<br />

transitional home during periods of<br />

crisis intervention,” according to a press<br />

release issued for the event.<br />

Baby’s Breath board member and<br />

Chairman of Public Relations Sarah<br />

Hoogasian said, “Baby’s Breath is actually a<br />

model organization. There is nothing like it<br />

in the nation.”<br />

Hoogasian said the facility, which is scheduled<br />

to open as early as next month, would be<br />

operated in conjunction with Leicester’s<br />

Nazareth Home for Boys.<br />

“It’s kind of an alternative to the current<br />

foster care system,” she said, although Baby’s<br />

Breath will be working closely with the state<br />

Department of Social Services (DSS).<br />

Hoogasian went on to explain that Baby’s<br />

Breath will be able to house up to eight children,<br />

from newborns to 3 years of age, at a<br />

time.<br />

While there, the babies will receive a thorough<br />

evaluation and treatment from doctors<br />

and psychiatrists. Baby’s Breath, Hoogasian<br />

said, will also work with biological families<br />

when possible, as well as adoption agencies,<br />

to find the safest homes available for the children.<br />

Babies may remain a resident of the<br />

home for up to three years.<br />

It is the hope of the organization,<br />

Hoogasian said, to eventually expand upon<br />

this pilot house and develop similar homes<br />

elsewhere.<br />

The art show, Hoogasian explained, is an<br />

opportunity for their soon-to-be neighbors to<br />

get to know the people behind Baby’s Breath,<br />

and to find out what the organization is all<br />

about.<br />

Baby’s Breath founder Dr. Teresa Rafferty<br />

is among the speakers scheduled to address<br />

the crowd that night.<br />

The Dzian Gallery is located at 65 Water St.<br />

in Worcester, and will be open for this specific<br />

event from 6 to 9 p.m.<br />

“The gallery has been wonderful, because<br />

they don’t want any focus to be on them,”<br />

Hoogasian said, thanking the people of Dzian<br />

for their cooperation.<br />

Light fare will be provided by Block 5 Bistro<br />

of Worcester, and libations will be available<br />

from a cash bar for adult patrons.<br />

The show will feature a range of artists,<br />

both local and not, all focusing on themes of<br />

children and childhood, with art and jewelry<br />

for sale.<br />

Tickets for the event are $25 each and may<br />

be purchased in advance from www.babysbreathhome.org.<br />

Internet purchases are recommended,<br />

as tickets may not be available at<br />

the door.<br />

SPENCER — Sixth-grade pupils from Wire Village School in <strong>Spencer</strong> recently visited<br />

Lake Street School to teach the second graders about space exploration.<br />

This project was made possible by the combined efforts of teachers from both schools,<br />

under a technology grant from HP. Five teachers, Jennifer McGrail, Lori Button, Erica<br />

Nevenglosky, Karen Charbonneau and Monica Nelson, were recipients of a grant from HP<br />

Technology. The purpose of the grant is to encourage the use of technology in teaching.<br />

All five teachers received laptops, LCD projectors, All-in One copiers and digital cameras<br />

for use in their classrooms. The teachers also received online training and books.<br />

This project is part of the ongoing use of these technologies in the classroom, with a focus<br />

on the Science Unit on Space.<br />

VIEWPOINT<br />

LEADER • Friday, April 4, 2008<br />

OPINION AND COMMENTARY FROM SPENCER, LEICESTER AND THE BROOKFIELDS<br />

EDITORIAL<br />

Combating<br />

gas prices not<br />

an easy task<br />

The skyrocketing cost of gasoline<br />

is, of course, a major contributor<br />

to the nation’s economic woes.<br />

But not only is the soaring cost of gas<br />

causing prices of just about everything<br />

else to inflate — commuters are finding<br />

the $35 to $50 it now takes to fill a car’s<br />

tank especially distressing.<br />

Gas prices in the $2.50 range, common<br />

throughout much of 2007, seem a downright<br />

bargain compared to the typical $3<br />

per gallon (and even more for high-grade<br />

fuels) that consumers are now shelling out<br />

at the pump. It’s hard to fathom that a<br />

decade ago a person could top off his or<br />

her car for well under $20.<br />

So where do we turn? Penalizing the big<br />

oil companies with higher taxes has emotional<br />

appeal, but they ultimately are not<br />

the only source of the problem. Moreover,<br />

nothing can prevent ExxonMobil and the<br />

like from raising their prices even further<br />

to protect lucrative profits.<br />

Developing alternative sources of energy<br />

is the long-term answer, but so far the<br />

federal government seems to be paying<br />

only lip service to such an initiative.<br />

Another solution is to purchase a hybrid<br />

car, but they are expensive and relatively<br />

few models are available.<br />

For now, individuals need to take steps<br />

to increase the fuel efficiency of their<br />

vehicles. The Automotive Aftermarket<br />

Industry Association has suggestions that<br />

it claims can save a commuter up to $1,200<br />

annually on trips to the pump.<br />

• Make sure your vehicle’s gas cap is in<br />

proper working order. Damaged, loose or<br />

missing caps cause nearly 150 million gallons<br />

of gasoline to vaporize into thin air<br />

every year.<br />

• Keep your vehicle’s tires properly<br />

inflated, otherwise they can cost up to two<br />

miles a gallon of fuel efficiency.<br />

• Replace your vehicle’s spark plugs on a<br />

regular basis. Old or dirty plugs can cause<br />

engine misfiring, which wastes fuel.<br />

• Replace your vehicle’s air filter on a<br />

regular basis to prevent clogging and<br />

improve fuel efficiency by as much as 10<br />

percent.<br />

• Maintain your vehicle properly, including<br />

having regular tune-ups. Repairing a<br />

serious maintenance issue can have a dramatic<br />

impact on fuel efficiency, perhaps as<br />

much as 40 percent.<br />

The most opportune time to start this<br />

“fuel friendly” behavior is now, rather<br />

than waiting until gasoline hits $4 a gallon.<br />

Unfortunately, that day doesn’t seem to<br />

be very far around the corner.<br />

DAVID F. DORE<br />

EDITOR, SPENCER NEW LEADER<br />

AND STURBRIDGE VILLAGER<br />

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />

Scott: My visionary statement for the future of Brookfield<br />

To the Editor:<br />

When thinking about the future of<br />

Brookfield, the first thing I do is to look outside.<br />

What do I see? I see thick lush forests<br />

that provide shelter and nourishment for<br />

the many animals that most people don’t<br />

think exist. We know they do. We have seen<br />

them. I look to the vast openness from a<br />

view on Lake Road and find it to be breathtaking<br />

even after all these years. I see hills<br />

and valleys, old cart roads, and stone walls<br />

that remind us of those who came before us.<br />

I see a town that is so rich in American<br />

History that most of the people in this country<br />

will never see. Markers from the revolution<br />

and King Philips War litter our side<br />

streets. Livestock, horses and farms are<br />

scattered throughout the town. I see a town<br />

that is perfect for solace when one wants to<br />

get out of the big city madness. Brookfield<br />

is a place to think, a place to grow, a place to<br />

learn, a place to live.<br />

The next thing I do is think of how it was<br />

when I first moved here and I become disappointed.<br />

At one time, Brookfield managed to<br />

have several small businesses that could<br />

sustain the residents until their weekly trip<br />

to the “city” for food, clothing, and other<br />

supplies. Kids had the opportunity of many<br />

local first time jobs.<br />

Although I am not a lifer, like so many residents,<br />

I am a longtime transplant. I wonder<br />

if the downfall of Brookfield really had to<br />

do with big companies moving in, like so<br />

many people assume. I seriously doubt it, as<br />

this downward spiral has been going on<br />

long before the big name stores were close<br />

by. Without an outlet for employment, or<br />

constructive activities, kids get into trouble.<br />

We all know that. We currently have a population<br />

of 3,000 and not even a bank, only a<br />

machine. I would like to see grants become<br />

available for people to start up a business. A<br />

coffee shop, a bookstore, possibly a small<br />

dry goods place, and even a bed and breakfast<br />

would be nice.<br />

If I had to give the town of Brookfield a<br />

one-word description, it would be “artsy.”<br />

This town has so many talented people here<br />

it’s a shame not to promote it as such. To do<br />

this, we would have to look back in history<br />

to see what worked when it was a sustainable<br />

community.<br />

This is my vision, a balance with nature<br />

and commerce. The Brookfield Master Plan<br />

Committee wants to know your visions. The<br />

committee welcomes volunteers, visitors at<br />

meetings, donations and community feedback.<br />

They are also looking for interested in<br />

high school students becoming involved in<br />

this endeavor.<br />

The next meetings are Thursday, April 17<br />

and Wednesday, April 30. All meetings are<br />

held at Town Hall at 6:30 p.m.<br />

Committee at masterplancommittee<br />

BROOKFIELD<br />

Editor’s Note: The author is a resident of<br />

Brookfield and the chairperson of the<br />

Brookfield Master Plan Committee.<br />

Swanson: <strong>News</strong>paper, Brewer support art accomplishments<br />

To the Editor:<br />

This is in response to Mark Ashton’s<br />

“Time to get off the ban wagon” column in<br />

the March 21 edition.<br />

Mr. Ashton contends there are only two<br />

choices paper or plastic. There is a third<br />

choice: canvas. I have been using canvas<br />

bags for at least 10 years. While there is an<br />

initial cost to me, the cost can be recouped<br />

by shopping chains (such as Hannaford’s,<br />

Whole Foods and many others) that refund<br />

me 5 cents each time I use these bags. So if I<br />

spent $5 on one bag, if I use the bag once a<br />

week over the course of 10 years I get back<br />

$26. What’s more, the bags are not really<br />

free; they are just written in the cost of<br />

higher prices. The discount Price-Rite<br />

chain (one is in Worcester) charges lower<br />

food prices, but charges 10 cents per bag.<br />

Mr. Ashton contends that plastic is the<br />

cheapest; I say canvas is a lot cheaper. Even<br />

without the above-mentioned refunds, I<br />

would still use canvas bags.<br />

To the Editor:<br />

On behalf of the Youth Art Month<br />

Committee, the art teachers and the art students,<br />

I would like to thank The New Leader<br />

and Sen. Stephen M. Brewer for joining us<br />

in celebrating Youth Art Month. The New<br />

Leader has encouraged local students by<br />

acknowledging their accomplishments in<br />

the arts. Your recognition of the effort and<br />

hard work is appreciated.<br />

Sen. Brewer supports our students with<br />

his annual winter card contest and his continued<br />

involvement with the Youth Art<br />

Month reception. This year, he graciously<br />

stepped in at short notice to address the<br />

friends and families of our youth artists. He<br />

believes, as we do, that the cultural growth<br />

of our communities will continue with our<br />

children and their creative spirit.<br />

Thank you for supporting arts education.<br />

CHRISTINE SWANSON<br />

YOUTH ART MONTH COMMITTEE<br />

Wojdak: Paper, plastic or canvas — there’s a third choice<br />

To the Editor:<br />

On Easter Monday, March 24, Mary,<br />

Queen of the Rosary Parish voted to accept<br />

the offer from the Diocese of Worcester, in<br />

the name of the Bishop Robert McManus,<br />

the sum of $201,000 to dismantle and demolish<br />

Saint Mary’s Church in <strong>Spencer</strong>.<br />

How heart rendering it is that the plotting<br />

to bring down Our Father’s House should<br />

occur during the holiest season for<br />

Catholics. Like the Thirty Pieces of Silver<br />

offered to Judas to hand over our Lord, the<br />

Diocese of Worcester came with their own<br />

offer of Blood Money. The parishioners<br />

attending the meeting were more than<br />

happy to accept this generous offer from the<br />

bishop.<br />

I will be forever grateful that I left this<br />

meeting before I could hear the applause<br />

and stamping of feet at the expense of the<br />

few people present that continued in the<br />

hope that Saint Mary’s Church would<br />

remain a valuable property to the parish.<br />

The applause rang out like the cries to<br />

“Crucify Him, Crucify Him.”<br />

How have these people forgotten that this<br />

church was built with great sacrifice by our<br />

ancestors in honor of Our Blessed Mother,<br />

and that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was<br />

offered there for generations? No Catholic<br />

should ever rejoice in the knowledge that<br />

there will be one less place to worship our<br />

God. As Christ hung on the cross, he offered<br />

the words, “Father, forgive them, they know<br />

not what they do.” No amount of rubble will<br />

ever fill the hole in the hearts of those who<br />

loved this church. This masterpiece of<br />

architecture, a treasure to cherish will be<br />

is “the process by which organic substances<br />

are broken down by the enzymes<br />

produced by living organisms” (source:<br />

wikipedia.org).<br />

We live in a throw away society with<br />

entirely too much waste, without much concern<br />

for the environment. Plastic bags<br />

never biodegrade; they do break down into<br />

microscopic pieces, only to leave behind<br />

substances that pollute our water supply.<br />

These pieces have to end up somewhere. Do<br />

you want your kids (great-great-great ...<br />

grandkids) to be drinking this stuff ?<br />

In an ideal world everyone world recycle<br />

and not litter, but some people do. With<br />

springtime, look at the side on any roadway<br />

and the amount of litter. It is time to think<br />

about long-term solutions to a simple problem<br />

and start caring about the environment.<br />

Canvas bags present a simple solution<br />

to a complicated problem.<br />

JOHN WOJDAK<br />

BROOKFIELD<br />

Beer: Destruction of St. Mary’s not worthy of applause<br />

gone and the landscape of the town, will be<br />

changed forever.<br />

Over the past 10 years, many of the former<br />

members of Saint Mary’s Church have<br />

passed away, and many others have left and<br />

moved to surrounding Catholic churches.<br />

Like myself, they found it impossible to continue<br />

here under these circumstances.<br />

To those of you who toiled with great sacrifice<br />

to support St. Mary’s, I offer you my<br />

deepest gratitude for the gift we were given.<br />

I consider myself so fortunate to have<br />

attended her school because of the sacrifice<br />

of my parents and the Sisters, priests and<br />

lay teachers who taught us there. Their<br />

deep love for their faith was evident<br />

through the good works they performed.<br />

I can close my eyes and see myself as a<br />

young schoolgirl walking with classmates<br />

through the open doors of St. Mary’s<br />

Church and attending the French Mass as<br />

we did on the First Friday of the month.<br />

The beautiful stain glass windows were<br />

open, and the birds sang outside. The<br />

priest’s French was not always understood,<br />

but it was as familiar as my Memere and<br />

Pepere.<br />

How truly blessed were those who shared<br />

this wonderful place in time, and I am so<br />

sorry that it cannot continue to be passed<br />

on to future generations to come. And I beg<br />

that those of you who are ready to move forward<br />

with the destruction of this church,<br />

please hold your applause for another day.<br />

SPENCER<br />

Things (or<br />

nothing) that<br />

go bump in<br />

the night<br />

When it comes to seeing and hearing<br />

things, especially late at<br />

night, my fiancée will tell you I<br />

pretty much take the cake.<br />

She’ll also tell you much of it is made up<br />

in my mind — a figment, if you will, of an<br />

overactive and rather anxious imagination.<br />

Of course, I would point out that many of<br />

these late-night happenings really … well,<br />

happened.<br />

There was, for example,<br />

BIRD’S<br />

NEST<br />

WALTER<br />

BIRD JR.<br />

the Bat Episode, which<br />

pretty much entailed yours<br />

truly laying on a couch late<br />

at night (for an image you<br />

surely don’t want, I’ll<br />

acknowledge that underwear<br />

was the only garment<br />

being worn) and hearing a<br />

fluttering noise. That was<br />

followed by a high-pitched<br />

screaming sound — which<br />

was, once again, yours<br />

truly as he ran into the<br />

bedroom after seeing a bat<br />

twitter through the house.<br />

Other times, OK, maybe it wasn’t a “real”<br />

sighting, but it sure seemed it.<br />

Like not so long ago, when I was on a pill<br />

to help defeat a tough nicotine habit.<br />

One of the side effects as listed on the<br />

instructions was “strange dreams.”<br />

Strange, indeed.<br />

Never mind the one where I introduced<br />

Larry David to an audience before getting<br />

into a fight with Howie Mandel.<br />

One night, I woke up convinced someone<br />

was shining a flashlight into our third-floor<br />

apartment. All I know is I saw a bright,<br />

white light. Seeing how it was somewhere<br />

around 3 a.m., a bright, white light is not<br />

expected.<br />

Being the sworn protector of a loving<br />

fiancée and two helpless little birds, I did<br />

what any sane and rational man would do<br />

at 3 a.m.: I jumped out of bed and grabbed<br />

the folding knife I keep on my dresser for<br />

those times when, well, for nothing, really.<br />

It’s small and barely accomplishes such<br />

challenging tasks as cutting cardboard —<br />

but at least I was armed.<br />

And so it went that I roamed our apartment,<br />

every room, only to find it was as it<br />

had been when we retired for the evening —<br />

dark and empty.<br />

My fiancée, the next day, convinced me I<br />

had had another of those “strange”<br />

dreams.<br />

Ah, but to prove that it is not I alone who<br />

sees and hears things, I offer up my fiancée<br />

(without having sought her approval, of<br />

course) as Exhibit A.<br />

Sleeping the other night, I was roused<br />

from slumber by my much more attractive<br />

significant other. She bore a wide-eyed,<br />

panic-stricken look and was quite obviously<br />

saying something important to me.<br />

However, it should be noted that I wear a<br />

hearing aid. That instrument comes out at<br />

bedtime. Without it, I am, as has been clinically<br />

noted, moderately to severely hard of<br />

hearing.<br />

Why is that important?<br />

Because while I could clearly see my<br />

fiancée’s lips moving, I couldn’t hear a<br />

blessed thing.<br />

Obviously frustrated she leapt from the<br />

bed as I fumbled to affix the hearing aid to<br />

my ear. As I did, I heard something about<br />

“person” and “breaking in.”<br />

Seeing as it was around 5 a.m., that is not<br />

the sort of activity you’re expecting.<br />

I finally got the hearing aid in and adjusted<br />

properly. By that time, however, my SO<br />

(that’s hip lingo for “significant other”) had<br />

already approached the back door of our<br />

apartment, where she had heard the noise<br />

initially. Exercising not one ounce of concern<br />

for her own personal safety, she flung<br />

open the door and let out a scream. The<br />

screen door was wide open and there was,<br />

indeed, a figure outside our apartment.<br />

My fiancée turned away and walked back<br />

to the bedroom, saying something about a<br />

“raccoon.”<br />

Being not so quite as brave as my future<br />

wife, I peered out the window of the inside<br />

door and, to my surprise, saw a masked<br />

creature staring up at me.<br />

“Hey,” I said. “There’s a raccoon out<br />

here.”<br />

Master of the obvious, that’s me.<br />

The rather portly looking thing eventually<br />

waddled down the back porch stairs, presumably<br />

back to its home, as the sun was<br />

coming up. My fiancée was climbing back<br />

in bed, and I joined her, only too happy to<br />

point out that it’s not just me who hears<br />

and sees things.<br />

And, heck, my reasons for being terrified<br />

were certainly better than hers. A bat, certainly<br />

intent on sucking the blood from an<br />

unsuspecting nighttime TV watcher? A<br />

bright white light in the dead of night?<br />

Sure beats a raccoon at the back door.<br />

Conservation Commission, 19 years; contributed<br />

to the completion of the Town<br />

Master Plan, the Town Open Space Plan<br />

Candidate’s statement:<br />

Leicester is a beautiful and growing town.<br />

We live in a community that has great<br />

potential for business growth while still<br />

supporting residential needs and concerns.<br />

I want to continue to help Leicester reach<br />

that potential and believe my professional<br />

and life experience will allow me to help<br />

manage town resources to serve the best<br />

interests of the town’s people.<br />

Many of you may remember me as Dianna<br />

Rochette. I was raised in the lower Main<br />

Street section of Cherry Valley. My husband,<br />

Bruce, and I presently live in a home<br />

we built on Charles Street in 1989. We have<br />

two children, both Leicester High School<br />

graduates. Bruce and I own Little Bit Farm<br />

Occupation: Doctor/chiropractor<br />

Education: Leicester High<br />

School, 1990; Bachelor’s<br />

degree with focus on Biology,<br />

Assumption College, 1997; Chiropractic doctorate<br />

degree, New York Chiropractic<br />

College, 2001.<br />

Prior public service: Leicester Business<br />

Association (Board of Directors, 2002-04;<br />

president, 2004-05); subcommittee for economic<br />

development, 2004<br />

Why would you best serve the town?<br />

I am of the Contrarian school of thought<br />

when it comes to economics. I have a conservative<br />

approach, and I like to think outside<br />

the box. My platform is to develop a robust<br />

self-contained local economy, an economy<br />

that is not reliant on state and federal funding,<br />

and I will personally bring as many<br />

ideas to the table to position the town to<br />

blossom in this respect.<br />

What are the areas in which you could<br />

most contribute?<br />

I would like to focus on energy independence.<br />

The town owns a lot of unused land<br />

that could be used to harness wind power.<br />

There is also a lot of running water in town<br />

that could also be harnessed and turned<br />

into electricity.<br />

I would personally like to get residents in<br />

town involved and invested in their own<br />

infrastructure. The most efficient way of<br />

doing this would be for the town to create a<br />

certificate system representing stock in a<br />

wind turbine farm. Get local residents to<br />

purchase these certificates that are going to<br />

Office, West Boylston<br />

Education: Leicester Public<br />

Schools, Venerini Academy;<br />

College; numerous computer classes, Assabet<br />

Valley<br />

Current public service: Chairperson,<br />

United Way/COMECC Campaign, seven<br />

years for the Sheriff ’s Department; member,<br />

New England Council on Crime and<br />

LEICESTER ELECTION PROFILES<br />

Board of Selectmen - (two terms, three years)<br />

be backed by a commodity (electricity).<br />

Have the town use the money raised from<br />

the certificates to purchase the wind turbines.<br />

Then allow people and businesses to<br />

use the certificates as a local voluntary currency<br />

(much like the Ithaca hour). Also<br />

offer town employees certificates as partial<br />

payment and have the town accept the certificates<br />

as payment for local taxes. This, in<br />

effect, would eventually get the town to<br />

acquire most of the wind farm ownership<br />

and keep a lot of real wealth generation in<br />

town.<br />

If elected, what would your priorities be<br />

and how would you accomplish them?<br />

First and foremost, get the town as energy<br />

independent as possible. Get the town so it<br />

is even selling electricity back to the utility<br />

companies. I would focus on getting a steady<br />

income into town to mitigate as much tax<br />

burden as possible. Then invest in improvements<br />

to the town’s fire stations, schools,<br />

roads, etc.<br />

Politically speaking, how would you<br />

describe yourself ?<br />

Fiscally conservative. I am all for getting<br />

people to work together for collective<br />

improvement. I think small communities<br />

should focus on being less reliant on state<br />

and federal funds. They should be more self<br />

sufficient and more independent. I am for<br />

lower taxes, since I have not yet found a population<br />

in the history of the world that has<br />

been taxed into prosperity.<br />

IBM. I have been employed by IBM for 29<br />

years, the last nine as a manager. My career<br />

at IBM has included working as a programmer,<br />

systems architect, and consultant for<br />

over 40 customers in six states. Currently, I<br />

manage over 100 consultants from 27 different<br />

states.<br />

petition to purchase Hillcrest<br />

Country Club, lifetime member of the Girl<br />

Scouts, former member of Leicester Civil<br />

Defense and Rescue Squad.<br />

Why would you best serve the town?<br />

I feel I would best serve the town because I<br />

have the ability when presented with an<br />

issue or problem to analyze the data and<br />

information to find a solution that is logical<br />

and sound. There are many issues in town<br />

that haven’t been resolved for a long time<br />

that need a new perspective. I have been a<br />

member of a team approach to management<br />

of a successful business unit for IBM, helping<br />

grow the unit from 75 people to more<br />

than 350 with a budget of over $50 million.<br />

By teaming with other departments and<br />

town organizations, we should be able to<br />

come up with solutions to the issues.<br />

If elected, what would your priorities be<br />

and how would you accomplish them?<br />

If elected, my priorities would be to ensure<br />

that the infrastructure for the town is preserved<br />

by balancing the needs of the schools<br />

with those of public safety while staying<br />

within the overall budget of the town and<br />

not draining the stabilization account or<br />

needing a Proposition 2 1/2 override. In<br />

addition, the preservation of Henshaw Pond<br />

as a water source must be achieved, while<br />

maximizing the use and income of Hillcrest<br />

Country Club. We need to move forward<br />

investigating viable lease options for the<br />

golf course that maintain the open space,<br />

public recreational use, and improves the<br />

condition of the current building.<br />

Amherst; past executive director of<br />

Leicester’s Founders Day committee; United<br />

Way coordinator; member of selection committee<br />

for Dr. Frank Carr Athletic<br />

Scholarship Fund.<br />

Candidate’s statement:<br />

In a press release, Brennan stated he “has<br />

earned a reputation as a fiscal conservative<br />

for his strong consistent opposition to tax<br />

increases and his insistence that all spending<br />

must be a ‘show and justify’ their costs<br />

and repayment. He has long championed a<br />

commercial retail development agenda to<br />

diversify the residential tax base while still<br />

providing needed services. While touting<br />

success in the rezoning and infrastructure<br />

expansion of Route 9 West and several other<br />

areas of Leicester for commercial development,<br />

he feels the work has ‘just begun. The<br />

proper development of these areas and the<br />

pre-defined allocation of these funds<br />

towards taxpayers’ relief must continue.’<br />

“There is still work to be done:<br />

“1. Continued business development to<br />

expand and diversify our tax base.<br />

“2. Develop and expand recreation facilities<br />

“3. Aging municipal infrastructure in critical<br />

need of repair and or replacement, or<br />

new equipment is needed immediately-we<br />

must find ways to fund<br />

“4. Increasing costs for material and laborcreativity<br />

and experience in this area are<br />

needed now<br />

“5. Continuing to fight tax increases and<br />

standing by his commitment to ‘never support<br />

a 2 1/2 override for recurring debt or<br />

incompetence.’<br />

“6. Maintain Leicester’s excellent bond<br />

(credit) rating.<br />

“7. Continue to fight for seniors’ programs<br />

and maintaining and expanding WRTA busing<br />

and routes.<br />

“8. Continue to promote state legislation<br />

that protects our citizens.<br />

“9. Work to maintain Leicester’s character<br />

and charm supporting existing town owned<br />

land use and defining creative uses for the<br />

future.”<br />

officials and the general public. I am open<br />

minded to new ideas and fully understand<br />

the importance of the changing times.<br />

I am motivated and creative, which will<br />

allow for me to develop innovative ways of<br />

propelling this office into the 21st century.<br />

I am fully aware that I am elected to serve<br />

the residents of the town of Leicester, and in<br />

doing so I will cause the services of the<br />

clerk’s office to be more accessible to the residents<br />

of the town.<br />

I will immediately provide an e-mail address<br />

where people can contact the office to ask<br />

questions about how to access information<br />

and/or services such as birth certificates,<br />

dog licenses, business certificates, marriage<br />

intention instructions and death certificates.<br />

Why would you best serve the town?<br />

I feel I would best serve the town due to my<br />

experience on the Planning Board. Even<br />

though I have only been in office for one<br />

term, I feel that I have not only learned an<br />

incredible amount, but have contributed as<br />

well. The Planning Board requires a solid<br />

time commitment as well as a dedication to<br />

understanding the various town codes and<br />

bylaws. This is not a task to be taken lightly.<br />

I feel that I have consistently put forth a<br />

dedicated effort and will continue to do so<br />

in the future.<br />

What are the areas in which you could<br />

most contribute?<br />

Being not only a life-long town resident,<br />

but a teacher in town as well, I believe that<br />

I have an intimate sense of the relationship<br />

between responsible planning and education,<br />

especially in regard to issues of a fiscal<br />

matter.<br />

If elected, what would your priorities<br />

be and how would you accomplish<br />

them?<br />

In my short time on the Planning Board,<br />

the most important thing I have learned is<br />

that what we do is meant to last for years.<br />

In other words, we have a responsibility to<br />

ensure that our decisions are made with<br />

the best interests of the town in mind.<br />

Sometimes this is a difficult task, but it<br />

remains one that needs to be accomplished.<br />

Politically speaking, how would you<br />

describe yourself ?<br />

I am a registered Democrat, and feel that I<br />

am a moderate. I like to think that common<br />

sense guides my political leanings.<br />

Candidate’s statement:<br />

Through my experience as a Planning<br />

Board member of more than 10 years, I am<br />

aware of the difficult situation Leicester is<br />

facing in trying to maintain a balance<br />

between commercial growth and keeping<br />

the rural character of the community.<br />

It is important that this balance be kept. I<br />

believe that each and every issue that<br />

comes before the Planning Board must<br />

answer the question “How is this going to<br />

benefit, not burden, the town of Leicester?”<br />

These issues include, but are not limited to,<br />

commercial development, residential development<br />

and some town bylaw changes,<br />

additions or deletions.<br />

The Planning Board needs to look to the<br />

future of Leicester — not just next year, but<br />

20 or 30 years. This is why the Planning<br />

Board uses the Master Plan — which is currently<br />

being updated — to look towards this<br />

future and betterment of the community.<br />

If elected, I would continue to work<br />

towards the compatible growth of<br />

Leicester.<br />

10 SPENCER NEW LEADER • Friday, April 4, 2008<br />

SPORTS<br />

Uxbridge ousts David Prouty in season opener<br />

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY<br />

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER<br />

SPENCER — The Panthers of David Prouty High School<br />

and the Spartans of Uxbridge braved a winter-like afternoon<br />

to play their season opener on Thursday, March 27.<br />

What started out as a beautiful day quickly turned bitterly<br />

cold as the first pitch was thrown at Paul R. Archambeault<br />

Field, on the grounds of David Prouty High School, even seeing<br />

snow flurries on and off through the first few innings.<br />

Uxbridge took the first game of the year, with an impressive<br />

16-5 final score.<br />

According to David Prouty coach Chuck Fahey, the<br />

Panthers’ loss was the product of a combination of small<br />

mistakes.<br />

“A lot of the little things we’ve got to get done, we didn’t<br />

do,” Fahey said following the game. “It’s a quick season, so<br />

we can’t throw games away.”<br />

Particularly, dropped balls, pick-offs and some base running<br />

mishaps all contributed to the less than stellar showing.<br />

Prouty’s starting pitcher, John Tretheway, started off the<br />

set with a walk, then went on to toss for seven hits, two<br />

strikeouts, three more walks and a hit batter over three<br />

innings of work, giving up three runs in the first inning.<br />

Tretheway managed to get through the second, only allowing<br />

two Spartans to cross the plate, as Uxbridge’s Kyle Allaire<br />

hit into a six-three-five double play to end the inning.<br />

When Mike Letendre took to the mound for the Panthers in<br />

the fourth, he gave up two walks, before again ending the<br />

inning on a double play. This time, though, the two outs came<br />

during a botched steal attempt. Overall, Uxbridge safely<br />

landed at least half a dozen stolen bases throughout the<br />

game.<br />

After a one-two-three fifth inning, Letendre gave up a<br />

three-run blast over the leftfield fence to Uxbridge’s Tim<br />

Phillips, who was plucked in the shoulder during his first atbat.<br />

That particular pitch did not go unanswered either, as<br />

Prouty’s Josh Nicol took a pitch to the back in the fourth as<br />

well.<br />

Nicol was instrumental for the Panthers early on in the<br />

game, as he laid down a bunt cover two pitches in a row,<br />

allowing two runners to steal home in the first.<br />

For Uxbridge, Phillips was first to take to the hill, giving<br />

up one hit and one walk in the first. The two Panthers<br />

brought in on the bunt play were the only runs Phillips<br />

would allow during his five innings, even though some of<br />

Prouty’s biggest opportunities came on passed balls. So was<br />

their luck in the sixth, when a passed ball started off a threerun<br />

rally over the inning.<br />

“Our starting pitcher,” Uxbridge coach Bob McLaughlin<br />

said, “really got to them by throwing strikes.”<br />

In the seventh, Uxbridge’s Jason Silbur followed a double<br />

by Ross White with a two-bagger of his own, putting up<br />

another couple of runs, and kicking off a seven-run avalanche<br />

to finish Uxbridge’s offensive assault on the<br />

Panthers.<br />

With one more inning to swing, Prouty’s Mike Mattei put<br />

forth a valiant effort in trying to outrun a rundown, in<br />

which he was nabbed to end the game.<br />

Reflecting on the 16-5 season opener, McLaughlin said,<br />

“Overall, for the opener, I’m pretty pleased with a lot of<br />

things,” adding, “but we have to work on our base running.”<br />

SPENCER — The <strong>Spencer</strong> sixthgrade<br />

travel basketball team has<br />

had a busy season.<br />

In the fall, the Division “A” team<br />

traveled to the Milford<br />

Tournament, where they came<br />

home with first place after beating<br />

a well-skilled Bellingham<br />

team. This was the beginning of<br />

an exciting season for the young<br />

athletes. Throughout their winter<br />

schedule in the South Central<br />

Mass Youth Basketball League,<br />

they met with opponents from<br />

many large towns, such as<br />

Southboro and Northboro.<br />

Many of the boys have been playing together<br />

for three years. They have been in the semifinals<br />

of their league each year, but could not get<br />

Chipman has entered the Corporate category<br />

for the 24-Mile Relay Race.<br />

The annual Run of the Charles Canoe and<br />

Kayak Race showcases the ongoing improvements<br />

in the Charles River while drawing<br />

approximately 1,500 paddlers and thousands<br />

of spectators to enjoy a day on the river. The<br />

race features paddling races for all skill levels,<br />

from expert to novice. The $5,000 Professional<br />

Flatwater Canoe Marathon draws elite paddlers<br />

from across the United States and<br />

Canada. The 24-Mile Relay Race draws corporate<br />

teams, and the 19-Mile, 9-Mile, and 6-Mile<br />

races bring out recreational paddlers aged 11<br />

and up.<br />

Entries have already come in from paddlers<br />

in Massachusetts, New York, New Hampshire,<br />

Connecticut, Rhode Island, Wisconsin,<br />

Hawaii, Ohio, Washington, D.C., Maryland,<br />

Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Vermont,<br />

New Jersey and Canada.<br />

The Finish Line Festival, where some races<br />

begin and all races finish, will host daylong<br />

activities for the public free of charge at<br />

Herter Park on Soldiers’ Field Road in<br />

A Prouty batter jumps out of the way of an inside pitch.<br />

past a tall, strong Westboro team.<br />

This year, they wanted to have a different<br />

outcome.<br />

On March 2, the team traveled to<br />

Hopedale for the championship<br />

game against Westboro. Their passion,<br />

heart and skill carried them to<br />

a 47-41 victory over the talented<br />

Westboro team for the SCMYBL<br />

sixth-grade title.<br />

On the same weekend, the team<br />

began their play in the West<br />

Brookfield<br />

Tournament.<br />

Throughout the week they met,<br />

again, with some tough opponents.<br />

But on March 6, they earned first<br />

place against a strong St. Joe’s team with a fourpoint<br />

win. Congratulations on a well deserved<br />

season.<br />

Peterson to take over for Baronoski as NBES principal<br />

PETERSON<br />

continued from page A1<br />

Paxton Center School, and members<br />

of the North Brookfield<br />

community, including faculty<br />

and staff, as well as students and<br />

parents.<br />

Information was collected<br />

from those in attendance at the<br />

meeting and the responses were<br />

taken into consideration by the<br />

search committee assigned the<br />

task of recommending one of the<br />

finalists to Erin Nosek, superintendent<br />

of North Brookfield<br />

schools.<br />

“The comments were very positive<br />

from both staff and parents<br />

who came by,” Nosek said.<br />

“We’re really happy with the<br />

process and the way it worked.”<br />

Peterson, who is currently the<br />

principal at Toy Town<br />

Elementary School in<br />

Winchendon, said she is looking<br />

forward to working in a school<br />

with a community that is as<br />

involved with its schools as<br />

North Brookfield.<br />

Peterson, who has seven years’<br />

cumulative experience in an<br />

administrative position, went on<br />

to thank the search committee<br />

and say that she will do her best<br />

to fulfill any expectations they<br />

have of her.<br />

She explained that her contract<br />

with Toy Town expires at<br />

the end of this school year,<br />

though she hopes to work closely<br />

with Janice Baronoski, the current<br />

North Brookfield<br />

Elementary principal, to develop<br />

a transition plan.<br />

Nosek explained that toward<br />

the end of the school year,<br />

Peterson may begin integrating<br />

herself into the North Brookfield<br />

community by working with<br />

Baronoski either after school or<br />

in the afternoons of half days.<br />

Peterson said that so far, everyone<br />

she has met has been very<br />

warm and welcoming to her,<br />

leading her to anticipate a<br />

smooth transition. Prior to<br />

becoming an administrator,<br />

Peterson worked as a teacher<br />

with experience in kindergarten<br />

through Grade 5, as well as with<br />

special education students, in<br />

the Jaffrey-Rindge Cooperative<br />

School District in New<br />

Hampshire.<br />

This experience, she said, has<br />

given her insight into various<br />

methods of education and an<br />

appreciation of all types of<br />

learners.<br />

Before beginning her career in<br />

education, Peterson earned her<br />

undergraduate degree from<br />

Keene State College in Keene,<br />

N.H. She later went on to earn<br />

her master’s degree in<br />

Educational Leadership from<br />

Antioch University.<br />

One of Peterson’s goals for the<br />

coming year, she explained, is to<br />

bring the Destination<br />

Imagination program to North<br />

Brookfield Elementary School.<br />

Already a part of North<br />

Brookfield High School,<br />

Destination Imagination is an<br />

extracurricular activity that<br />

challenges students’ critical<br />

thinking and problem solving<br />

skills.<br />

For now, Peterson said that she<br />

and her husband recently sold<br />

their home in Rindge, N.H., and<br />

are currently looking for a home<br />

in the North Brookfield area.<br />

ELECTIONS - TOWN CLERK<br />

continued from page 9<br />

SPENCER BOS<br />

continued from page A1<br />

Mulhall, the top two vote getters would join the board starting<br />

July 1.<br />

Berthiaume was elected to the Board of Selectmen in 1994<br />

at the age of 28, and served until 1996.<br />

“I did it before, and I really liked it,” Berthiaume replied<br />

when asked why he wants to rejoin the board.<br />

Berthiaume, a contractor, consultant and home designer,<br />

said he would like to stop the “infighting” between the<br />

<strong>Spencer</strong>-East Brookfield Regional School District and the<br />

town over the budget.<br />

“With a low tax rate, if you didn’t have that, people would<br />

move here in droves,” Berthiaume said.<br />

He said he endorses an idea from Selectman Anthony Bove<br />

Jr. for the town and School Committee to commit to giving to<br />

the district a certain percentage of additional state aid and<br />

additional taxes raised when new houses are built.<br />

DiChiara, pastor of Hillside Baptist Church in <strong>Spencer</strong> and<br />

chaplain of the <strong>Spencer</strong> Fire Department, is no stranger to<br />

town government. He has served on the Library Board of<br />

Trustees (including three years as chairman) and the Finance<br />

Committee, and has been a poll inspector for more than a<br />

decade.<br />

DiChiara said he believe the town can “find financial solutions<br />

without raising taxes” or resorting to Proposition 2 1/2<br />

overrides like the one voters will face at next month’s election<br />

and Annual Town Meeting.<br />

The money, according to town officials, would be used to<br />

keep the Richard Sugden Library open, maintain the current<br />

police force, offer funded recreation programs, cover snow<br />

removal costs, and provide a “reverse 911” system, where citizens<br />

are notified by automated phones in emergencies.<br />

“Just like the town has a Master Plan for growth, I believe<br />

we need a financial master plan,” DiChiara<br />

said.<br />

Each department, including the school district,<br />

would draw up five-year and 10-year plans<br />

of where they want to be at those points and<br />

the resources that would be needed, he<br />

explained.<br />

508.248.4346<br />

Town Clerk - (one term, three years)<br />

I am aware of the time limitations of many<br />

of our citizens due to work and family<br />

responsibilities. I will ensure that all forms<br />

are available through email and provide<br />

“how to” instructions with fee schedules for<br />

all services.<br />

I will provide a secure drop-off box for residents<br />

to drop off applications and forms<br />

when the office is closed. This will save<br />

money for the town and for residents on<br />

postage, stationary and office costs.<br />

I will provide forms and instructions in large<br />

print for the vision impaired in our community.<br />

I will explore the addition of office hours on<br />

some evenings and weekends when other<br />

events are happening at the Town Hall to<br />

provide greater access to our services.<br />

I am well aware that currently finances are<br />

tight, so these enhancements will be of minimal<br />

or no cost to the town.<br />

I will work with the current town Webmaster<br />

to make the town by-laws and all clerks’<br />

office forms available online, including fees,<br />

schedules and acceptable payment methods.<br />

I will explore and investigate the institution<br />

of a credit card payment system for all services<br />

much like the system currently in place<br />

to pay town taxes online.<br />

I will network with other town and city<br />

clerks by becoming a member of the New<br />

England Association of City and Town<br />

Clerks. I will work towards becoming a<br />

Certified Town Clerk, which will afford me<br />

the opportunity to stay current on the<br />

upcoming trends, and make improvements<br />

when necessary. I will explore new and<br />

affordable opportunities to upgrade technology<br />

through research and development by<br />

working towards obtaining state monies,<br />

grants and donations.<br />

It is my primary goal to ensure greater accessibility<br />

to the clerk’s office for all residents of<br />

the Town of Leicester.<br />

I am a strong believer of leadership by example.<br />

I will bring a sense of pride and professionalism<br />

to this position. My demonstrated<br />

ability of keeping accurate records is essential<br />

to the Office of Town Clerk. I have a<br />

strong work ethic with an emphasis on loyalty<br />

and dedication, thus providing me with<br />

the necessary tools needed to achieve public<br />

trust.<br />

Why would you best serve the town?<br />

As the custodian of the town’s records and<br />

vital statistics, the town clerk plays a key<br />

role in virtually every aspect of town government.<br />

I believe that I will bring the needed<br />

DiChiara also proposed holding an economic summit with<br />

local business owners, members of the <strong>Spencer</strong> Exchange<br />

Club, economists and investors — “people who understand<br />

the economy and where it’s going,” he said.<br />

Fancher is vice president and audit manager at State Street<br />

Bank & Trust Company in Boston, and serves on the <strong>Spencer</strong><br />

Finance Committee and the Capital Improvement Planning<br />

Committee.<br />

In letters to the editor over the last couple of months,<br />

Fancher has questioned some of the items in next year’s $24.4<br />

million school budget proposal.<br />

If elected, Fancher said, he would focus on “trying to help<br />

the town survive the economic climate of the next few years,”<br />

and having government do a better job of “communication<br />

around the discussion of issues, rather than just the final<br />

decisions.”<br />

Gaucher, a professor of math and business classes at Becker<br />

College who served one term as selectman from 2003-06, said<br />

her goal in seeking a return to the board is “to re-engage and<br />

re-involve people in their government because I believe that<br />

greater participation and involvement will yield better decisions.”<br />

One of her ideas would be to eliminate what she called “ballot<br />

lumping” for override questions.<br />

“Instead of lumping numerous special interest, monetary<br />

requests into one ballot question,” Gaucher said, “we need to<br />

individually itemize these requests so people may choose one<br />

over another.”<br />

MacDougall, originally from Brookline, served as an elected<br />

Town Meeting member in that community for 13 years. A<br />

former soldier specializing in military intelligence, she now<br />

works for the <strong>Spencer</strong> Rescue Squad and teaches at American<br />

International College in Springfield.<br />

MacDougall said she is worried about the impact failure of<br />

a $528,371 override question to appear on the ballot next<br />

month would have on town services.<br />

We accept most major credit cards<br />

qualities and skills to this office as I have a<br />

combination of public, private, and volunteer<br />

experience, which will serve the Town of<br />

Leicester well. My goal is to maintain and<br />

enhance the excellent professional services<br />

that are currently provided by the clerk’s<br />

office through advanced computer applications<br />

and by ensuring the office continues to<br />

be “user-friendly” and convenient to all town<br />

residents. It will be an honor to serve the<br />

Town of Leicester as town clerk.<br />

What are the areas that you could most<br />

contribute?<br />

I currently work at the Town Hall in the<br />

Board of Health Department and have<br />

Leicester town municipal experience that<br />

will be very useful for the accounting, treasury<br />

and record keeping duties of this office.<br />

Prior knowledge in those areas will allow me<br />

more time to focus on the upcoming Annual<br />

Town Meeting and the election process<br />

duties for the remaining two elections to be<br />

held this fall. My working knowledge of town<br />

administrative operations will ensure that<br />

there are no interruptions in services.<br />

If elected, what would your priorities be<br />

and how would you accomplish them?<br />

My priorities as town clerk will be three-fold.<br />

Accurate and efficient record keeping, customer<br />

service, and upgraded computer systems,<br />

which will result in cost effective and<br />

streamlined operations.<br />

• Records Custodian: As custodian of the<br />

town records and archives, it is essential that<br />

the town clerk’s office maintain both current<br />

and historic information. There are specific<br />

requirements for maintaining records<br />

through the Secretary of State’s office. It’s<br />

important to comply with these regulations.<br />

The state has provided grants in the past to<br />

assist with record keeping systems. I will<br />

make sure that an efficient record-keeping<br />

system is in place and will try to seek alternative<br />

funding to develop this system if state<br />

funds are available.<br />

• Customer Service: The town clerk works for<br />

the residents and taxpayers of Leicester, and<br />

it is the clerk’s responsibility to offer the<br />

´<br />

“There’s a lot going on in town that people don’t see, and I<br />

hate to see us lose police officers,” she said, adding later she<br />

also sees the “very important” need for good schools.<br />

MacDougall also said she would like to see more programs<br />

for children in town, possibly run through the Parks and<br />

Recreation Department.<br />

ALSO ON THE BALLOT<br />

Welcoming New Patients<br />

“We treat your pets<br />

like our own”<br />

services of the clerk’s office in a convenient<br />

and accessible way. A priority for me as town<br />

clerk will be to find out first-hand what the<br />

residents feel would be the most effective<br />

way to serve them. I would propose to survey<br />

town residents to determine their level of<br />

satisfaction with the office, and ways that the<br />

office can better serve them as needed.<br />

Whether it’s staggered hours for resident<br />

convenience, satellite locations for various<br />

services, or on-line application availability, I<br />

think it’s important to periodically get feedback<br />

from residents, or a report card if you<br />

will, on resident satisfaction with the clerk’s<br />

operations. A simple survey could be included<br />

in the quarterly tax bills or annual<br />

Census and would be a low-cost way of getting<br />

resident input.<br />

• Computer applications: The election of a<br />

new town clerk offers a great opportunity to<br />

review the current procedures. If elected, I<br />

would do a full assessment and analysis of<br />

current processes that now exist and determine<br />

if the requirements of the office and<br />

the needs of the residents would benefit from<br />

updating and computerizing some of our<br />

current record keeping documents. I would<br />

use my background to identify software and<br />

other technology applications to see if there<br />

are options for greater efficiency and cost<br />

effective means for record keeping and customer<br />

service responsibilities. As the town<br />

grows we need to service a larger population.<br />

Computerization and streamline accessibility<br />

become a much more important part of<br />

the day-to-day operational process. We need<br />

to look into processes that will allow greater<br />

output of volume while keeping the office<br />

user friendly and staffing and budget status<br />

quo.<br />

Politically speaking, how would you<br />

describe yourself ?<br />

I do not view this elected position as political<br />

as much as I view it as an administrative<br />

position. I truly feel that the town clerk’s<br />

office provides a service to the residents, and<br />

I would describe myself as very customer<br />

service orientated.<br />

Church to offer kids’<br />

Communion class<br />

BROOKFIELD — The Brookfield<br />

Congregational Church will offer a<br />

Children’s Communion Class from 10 a.m.<br />

until noon on three Saturdays, April 5, 12<br />

and 26.<br />

The class is offered for children who are 8<br />

years old and/or have reached third-grade<br />

level. The course is created to be meaningful<br />

to those who are between the third and<br />

sixth grades. Children of that age are at a<br />

good developmental place to be able to<br />

appreciate The Lord’s Supper at a deeper<br />

level. This is not called a First Communion<br />

class because many children have participated<br />

in receiving The Lord’s Supper. It is,<br />

rather, designed as an enrichment experience<br />

for them.<br />

The classes will consist of Bible studies<br />

that will include role-playing and drama,<br />

Bible memory work, crafts, videos and storybooks,<br />

and a re-enactment of the Last<br />

Supper. A snack will be served each time.<br />

During the final class, the bread will be<br />

prepared for the Children’s Communion<br />

Service, which is scheduled during the<br />

church’s regular 10 a.m. worship May 4.<br />

For more information, or to register, call<br />

Congregation readies<br />

for its new building<br />

NORTH BROOKFIELD — Regular travelers<br />

on Route 67 north of North Brookfield<br />

may have noticed a building that is taking<br />

shape a little over a mile from the town. It is<br />

the future chapel for the Church of Jesus<br />

Christ of Latter-day Saints congregation,<br />

which currently meets at 109 Main St. in<br />

• SPENCER NEW LEADER 3<br />

North Brookfield.<br />

Since the official groundbreaking ceremony<br />

last fall, the construction has been<br />

progressing steadily, in spite of some difficult<br />

weather. With the completion of the<br />

walls and roof, the base for the steeple was<br />

put in place and the building began to<br />

resemble a church.<br />

Now that the building is enclosed, work<br />

on the interior can proceed without interruption,<br />

according to the contractor, making<br />

it possible for the chapel to be completed<br />

this summer. The finished building’s<br />

facade will be Colonial, in keeping with its<br />

New England location.<br />

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day<br />

Saints has 22,000 such meetinghouses in 166<br />

countries worldwide. These buildings are<br />

used for weekly worship services, conferences,<br />

youth gatherings and other meetings.<br />

Local leaders intend to make this<br />

chapel’s facilities available for appropriate<br />

community events as well.<br />

An open house is being planned for the<br />

fall of 2008 for friends, neighbors, community<br />

officials and anyone who would like to<br />

know more about the Church of<br />

Jesus<br />

Christ of Latter-day Saints. In the meantime,<br />

all are welcome to attend Sunday services,<br />

starting at 9 a.m. at the 109 Main St.<br />

location in North Brookfield.<br />

• SPENCER NEW LEADER 5<br />

DPHS student work featured at Worcester Art Museum<br />

SPENCER — Pieces from five David<br />

Prouty High School students — freshman<br />

Michelle Wozniak, juniors Justin<br />

LaFleche-Tomlin, Paige Hart and Paige<br />

Morrill and senior Emily Casavant — were<br />

included in last month’s Youth Art Month<br />

at the Worcester Art Museum.<br />

The multimedia exhibit is sponsored by<br />

the Massachusetts Art Education<br />

Association as part of Youth Art Month, a<br />

national celebration to emphasize the<br />

value of art education for all children and<br />

to encourage support for the quality art<br />

programs in Massachusetts schools.<br />

Art teachers from 35 cities and towns<br />

have volunteered their time to make this<br />

event possible.<br />

Don’t let a jumpy stock market make you jumpy<br />

The past year has been a wild<br />

ride on Wall Street. In<br />

February of 2007, the Dow<br />

Jones Industrial Average suffered<br />

its biggest drop since the market<br />

reopened after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist<br />

attacks. By early May, the<br />

market had more than made up<br />

those losses and stood at record<br />

highs. Down and up again over the<br />

summer months and into October,<br />

the market was on the rise again.<br />

Then it tumbled again to a low in<br />

January, and it’s been a picture of<br />

jumpy and mediocre performance<br />

since then.<br />

How did you react? Did you turn<br />

off the news? Did you call your broker<br />

in a panic? Or did you call your<br />

financial planner to see if your plan<br />

is solid?<br />

Did you fall victim to the urge to<br />

sell when the market took a header<br />

or to buy when in was gaining<br />

ground? It’s hard not to react, but<br />

sudden investment actions are often<br />

a mistake. A research study done by<br />

Harvard University in the late 1980s<br />

clearly showed that people who listened<br />

to market news actually made<br />

lower returns. Why? Because<br />

investors who sold — or bought —<br />

during a market swing often learned<br />

after the fact that the market was<br />

really running on hype and not on<br />

fundamentals.<br />

So what should you do now? With<br />

the economy reeling from the U.S.<br />

mortgage crisis and the banking<br />

and investment<br />

industries still in a<br />

mess, what about<br />

tomorrow? And<br />

then next week,<br />

and the weeks<br />

after that?<br />

If this question<br />

fills you with<br />

worry, then it’s<br />

YOUR pretty clear you’re<br />

operating without<br />

MONEY a plan, or at least<br />

one you haven’t<br />

MATTERS<br />

recently checked.<br />

You need a clear<br />

ANNE O’BRIEN financial strategy<br />

that matches your<br />

risk tolerance and<br />

long-term financial goals. While<br />

there is absolutely no way to guarantee<br />

that you’ll never lose money, a<br />

well thought out personal financial<br />

plan will help you to better ignore<br />

the noise and to focus on your longterm<br />

goals and financial strategy.<br />

So the next time the stock market<br />

spikes or slides, ask yourself:<br />

• What is my plan? If you’ve<br />

worked with a financial planner<br />

such as a Certified Financial<br />

Planner, you should be able to<br />

articulate your goals or refer to an<br />

investment policy statement that<br />

you developed together. Much of the<br />

riskiest investing, overbuying and<br />

panic selling during the late 1990s<br />

and early 2000s could have been<br />

avoided if individual investors had<br />

sought advice for achieving longterm<br />

specific goals such as retirement<br />

or a college education.<br />

• What is my risk tolerance? At<br />

your first meeting with a planner,<br />

you should have discussed a number<br />

of questions about how you feel<br />

about and handle risk and what<br />

your expectations are about investment<br />

returns. Identifying how you<br />

feel about investing and understanding<br />

how you react to investment<br />

changes and decisions is an important<br />

part of the education process<br />

that you go through when you work<br />

with a planner.<br />

• Am I prepared to stay invested —<br />

no matter what? You may well<br />

remember the “Tech Wreck” of<br />

2000, when technology stock prices<br />

plummeted. At the worst of that<br />

downturn, many investors bailed<br />

out of the stock market or drastically<br />

cut back and only got back in after<br />

they thought the market was<br />

rebounding. In reality, they missed<br />

out on stock market gains during<br />

the early stages of recovery – a costly<br />

decision in the long run. Many<br />

investors in the 1990s real estate<br />

boom market followed the same pattern<br />

when they started bailing out a<br />

couple of years ago when the real<br />

estate market headed south. Afraid<br />

of a falling market, they sold when<br />

stock prices were low and locked in<br />

their losses.<br />

A major study in 2004 of the 12<br />

bear markets since World War II<br />

Regional effort to give troops taste of home<br />

ENGAGEMENT<br />

found that investors who either<br />

stayed in the market through its bottom,<br />

or were fortunate to enter at<br />

the bottom, saw the S&P 500 gain an<br />

average of 32.5 percent (not counting<br />

dividends) during the first year<br />

of recovery. Investors who missed<br />

even just the first week of recovery<br />

saw their gains that first year slide<br />

to 24.3 percent and those who waited<br />

three months before getting back in<br />

gained only 14.8 percent.<br />

• Am I diversified? The NASDAQ,<br />

the stock market for medium and<br />

smaller companies, lost 39 percent<br />

of its value in 2001 and another 21<br />

percent in 2002. Meanwhile, real<br />

estate investment trusts, also known<br />

as REITS, which performed poorly<br />

in 1998 and 1999 when stocks were<br />

booming, had banner years in 2000<br />

and 2001, were pretty flat in 2002 and<br />

had an excellent 2003. Bonds also<br />

delivered good returns during the<br />

last bear market. What does all of<br />

this mean? It means that your<br />

investments need to be spread out in<br />

different investment categories so<br />

that gains in one area of the market<br />

can help to offset looses in another<br />

area. Your planner, based on your<br />

attitudes toward investment risk,<br />

should have you in diversified<br />

investments that fit your goals.<br />

• Do I still feel the same way I used<br />

to about returns? Having a longterm<br />

investment plan doesn’t mean<br />

that you plan once and then just put<br />

your plan away. You and your planner<br />

are a team. You need to communicate<br />

with one another and decide<br />

when it’s time for a detailed review<br />

of your investment goals and<br />

whether or not they should be<br />

adjusted. An annual discussion<br />

might be enough if nothing’s going<br />

on, but life events like death,<br />

divorce, the kids moving out, a significant<br />

job change and illness are<br />

good reasons to do an in-depth<br />

review of your financial plan.<br />

If you’re worried this week,<br />

there’s no reason why you shouldn’t<br />

call your planner to calm your<br />

nerves and confirm what you’re<br />

doing. And if you’ve never talked to<br />

a planner before, now might be a<br />

pretty good time to start. If you need<br />

help in finding a financial planner,<br />

the Internet is a great research tool.<br />

To get started, go to<br />

PlannerSearch.org, a consumer-oriented<br />

website developed by The<br />

Financial Planning Association, or<br />

BY PATRICK SKAHILL<br />

STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER<br />

One local realtor is hoping residents<br />

will help her on a crusade to<br />

bring a slice of home to our men and<br />

women fighting overseas, but hopes<br />

residents won’t let their personal feelings<br />

on the war keep them from supporting<br />

America’s bravest.<br />

“The troops fight for the freedoms<br />

and liberties that we all enjoy today<br />

and everyday,” said Linda Bazinet,<br />

owner of Bazinet Realty. “Whether<br />

our troops should or should not be in<br />

Iraq or Afghanistan is … a personal<br />

decision each and every one of us<br />

makes, [but] I am hopeful that the<br />

public will feel as passionate about<br />

our troops … and show their support.”<br />

Late last month, the Worcester<br />

Association of Realtors kicked off an<br />

event entitled “Boxes for the Troops,”<br />

a multi-town drive aimed at collecting<br />

everything from toiletries to crossword<br />

puzzles for U.S. troops stationed<br />

overseas.<br />

Run in conjunction with the<br />

Marine Club located on 181 Lake Ave.<br />

in Worcester, Bazinet said the drive is<br />

slated to last until April 12, with<br />

Central Massachusetts drop-off spots<br />

placed in Auburn, Charlton, Dudley,<br />

<strong>Southbridge</strong>, <strong>Spencer</strong>, Sturbridge and<br />

Webster.<br />

So far, donations have been slow<br />

coming in, but Bazinet expressed her<br />

hope the number of people donating<br />

would grow in the coming weeks,<br />

with residents jumping at the opportunity<br />

to give a small donation to the<br />

soldiers who have donated their<br />

entire livelihood to service.<br />

“I think [the soldiers] are very<br />

important over there,” Bazinet said.<br />

“They are fighting for our freedoms<br />

and liberties and [this drive] is the<br />

least we can do.”<br />

REALTORS’ PROJECT<br />

According to Bazinet, she initially<br />

felt compelled to spearhead the<br />

“Boxes for the Troops” campaign<br />

after hearing of the idea from fellow<br />

realtors in Worcester County.<br />

On a more personal level, Bazinet<br />

added some of the emotional stories<br />

she has heard from mothers and<br />

fathers with sons and daughters stationed<br />

overseas have moved her to<br />

donate.<br />

“It’s heartbreaking,” she said.<br />

“Everybody has a story … Hearing<br />

these stories makes me want to do<br />

more.”<br />

“I am very excited to be a part of<br />

this event along with many other fellow<br />

realtors,” she added. “It’s a very<br />

worthy cause.”<br />

Items needed for the troops include<br />

candy, crossword and word game<br />

books, decks of cards, disposable cameras,<br />

postcards of Massachusetts,<br />

non-perishable snack items, writing<br />

instruments, writing paper,<br />

envelopes, stamps and<br />

health/hygiene items.<br />

Cash donations are also welcome so<br />

volunteers can use the money to buy<br />

needed items, Bazinet said.<br />

Checks should be made out to<br />

Marine Corp. League, Worcester<br />

Detachment, with “Boxes for Troops<br />

Campaign” in the memo line. Checks<br />

can be mailed to Bazinet Realty LLC,<br />

47 Durfee Road, Dudley, MA 01571.<br />

A receipt for cash donations will be<br />

mailed upon receipt of checks.<br />

SPENCER NEW LEADER<br />

HOUSE<br />

Home<br />

Friday, April 4, 2008<br />

You're planning to renovate<br />

your home. You're planning to<br />

build a new home. You have a<br />

major project to do on your<br />

home that you don't think you<br />

can handle by yourself. If any<br />

of these situations apply to<br />

you, you are probably in need<br />

of a contractor. A contractor,<br />

by definition, is someone with<br />

whom you'll have a contract.<br />

How do you know that you<br />

have found the right contractor?<br />

Well, it all depends on<br />

how you do your research.<br />

When you begin your<br />

research, take into account<br />

the scope of your project.<br />

What projects will you need<br />

done? Will they require electrical,<br />

plumbing or other special<br />

knowledge? When you<br />

begin your search for contractors,<br />

start by asking people<br />

you know who have had similar<br />

projects done. They may or<br />

may not be able to recommend<br />

someone, but they will probably<br />

at least be able to point you<br />

in the right direction. In most<br />

cases, you can start with the<br />

Yellow Pages of your local<br />

phonebook or by calling the<br />

Better Business Bureau<br />

(BBB).<br />

Most contracting companies<br />

should be licensed<br />

through the BBB. Using their<br />

recommendations, make a<br />

specific outline of your plan<br />

and present it to the contractors.<br />

You may require an<br />

architect's help on this if you<br />

are working on a large-scale<br />

project. Having a universal<br />

architectural plan can help<br />

ensure that contractors are all<br />

bidding and commenting on<br />

the same thing and keep you<br />

from getting confused comparing<br />

apples to oranges.<br />

Also, make sure that<br />

the contractors you are<br />

considering have<br />

workman's compensation<br />

and insurance<br />

that covers all of their<br />

License To Build<br />

employees. Without this, you<br />

could be liable for accidents<br />

that occur during your project.<br />

Once you have talked to<br />

your potential contractors for<br />

the first time, ask them for references.<br />

Check with the people<br />

they have worked for and<br />

ask them about the quality of<br />

their experience. Was the job<br />

finished in a timely manner<br />

and to their satisfaction? Were<br />

they able to work with the contractor<br />

effectively? How was<br />

communication at the beginning<br />

of and throughout the<br />

project? All of these are<br />

important questions that you<br />

should have addressed in<br />

order to ensure that your contractor<br />

will be someone that<br />

you can work with who will<br />

get you the results you want<br />

rather than just try to finish<br />

another job.<br />

About this time, you should<br />

start receiving bids from your<br />

potential contractors.<br />

Examine each bid in turn.<br />

Depending on the size of your<br />

project, you may want the aid<br />

of a lawyer. Don't be afraid to<br />

take a couple of days to examine<br />

all of the details of the<br />

contract and to ask for clarification<br />

of anything you do not<br />

understand. Make sure that<br />

all verbal agreements and<br />

understandings are included<br />

in the contract to solidify definitions<br />

and explanations.<br />

Keep in mind as you are looking<br />

at payment and pricing<br />

that you don't want to give<br />

your contractor all of the<br />

money upfront, but they may<br />

need some funding during the<br />

project. Reserve a portion of<br />

the final payment roughly<br />

Go Solar!<br />

equal to 10 percent of the project<br />

until all inspections have<br />

been passed and you have<br />

proof that all liens are<br />

removed from your house.<br />

This way, you can be certain<br />

your contractor will finish the<br />

job.<br />

It is wise to set out in the initial<br />

contract just what the contractor<br />

will and will not be<br />

responsible for, what their<br />

working restrictions are and<br />

who their crew will be. By<br />

doing this, you will know<br />

whether or not the contractor<br />

will clean up after themselves,<br />

whether or not they will apply<br />

for building permits, what<br />

union restrictions might<br />

apply and who is working on<br />

your house and what their<br />

qualifications are. With the<br />

initial contract signed and<br />

verified, all you have to do is<br />

take a copy of the contract and<br />

store it somewhere safe.<br />

Throughout the process, be<br />

sure to communicate with<br />

your contractor. Let them<br />

know any concerns you have<br />

or if they are exceeding your<br />

expectations. By keeping in<br />

constant communication with<br />

the contractor, they will feel<br />

more comfortable coming to<br />

you if something goes wrong<br />

or if they have a new idea. The<br />

relationship can also pay off if<br />

you have a project in the<br />

future for which you need a<br />

contractor again.<br />

In the end, you just have to<br />

be a careful consumer and be<br />

conscious of what you are<br />

signing when you enter into a<br />

contract. Choosing the right<br />

contractor can make your<br />

building experience easier<br />

and more enjoyable.<br />

Stamped Concrete: A Look All Of Its Own<br />

When you were a kid, did you<br />

ever press your hand into wet<br />

concrete? If so, then you have<br />

had some experience with<br />

stamped concrete. The use of<br />

stamped concrete, also known as<br />

patterned or imprinted concrete,<br />

is becoming more popular<br />

for a number of reasons. It doesn't<br />

cost as much to make a<br />

stamped concrete surface as it<br />

does other surfaces and the<br />

results resemble the look of<br />

wood, stone, slate, tile, bricks<br />

and flagstones in areas around<br />

patios, driveways, courtyards<br />

and pool decks. With all of this<br />

and the variety of patterns and<br />

colors available, is it any wonder<br />

stamped concrete is popping up<br />

everywhere?<br />

Stamped concrete offers the<br />

durability of traditional concrete<br />

and the flexibility to fit<br />

most budgets and landscape or<br />

architectural schemes. These<br />

two factors alone have moved<br />

stamped concrete from the outdoors<br />

in. It can now be found in<br />

basements, kitchens, family<br />

rooms and entryways, on fireplaces<br />

and walls, and even on<br />

countertops. Existing concrete<br />

floors can be easily revamped<br />

with stampable overlays.<br />

For design ideas involving<br />

stamped concrete, look in<br />

brochures, books and online. Hit<br />

local home shows and visit the<br />

showrooms of concrete contractors<br />

in your area. When choosing<br />

a design, make sure it harmonizes<br />

with the setting and<br />

will look good for years to come.<br />

Try to choose colors that complement<br />

the exterior and interior<br />

of your home. Keep in mind<br />

that the application of a color<br />

hardener to the surface of<br />

stamped concrete will make it<br />

more resistant to water and<br />

abrasion, while several coats of<br />

protective sealer will prevent<br />

oil, dirt and the like from damaging<br />

it.<br />

The price of stamped concrete<br />

varies according to the materials<br />

used, the complexity of the<br />

job and the labor costs in your<br />

particular area. When figuring<br />

the costs for stamped concrete,<br />

don't forget about the longevity<br />

of the product and the value it<br />

will add to your home if you<br />

ever decide to sell.<br />

Caring for stamped concrete is<br />

fairly simple. Outdoors, you<br />

should give the surface an occasional<br />

brushing and washing<br />

with a mild detergent and avoid<br />

getting salt on it in the winter.<br />

Indoors, you should keep the<br />

surface sealed against damage<br />

from foot traffic and give it an<br />

occasional polish or wax for<br />

added protection. Should the<br />

surface start to look dull, recoating<br />

it will restore its luster.<br />

Stamped concrete is not for<br />

everyone, nor is it something<br />

that everyone can do on their<br />

own. The process takes time,<br />

and if you have any reservations<br />

about doing it yourself,<br />

you should contact a professional.<br />

For hobbyists, masons and<br />

do-it-yourselfers, however,<br />

stamped concrete can be a<br />

worthwhile project to pursue.<br />

New Shrubs Make Gardening Easier<br />

Whether you’re looking for an accent plant or a bold<br />

focal point, Weigela can add beauty to your garden.<br />

In today’s fast-paced world, gardeners are<br />

looking for showy, attractive plants that are<br />

easy to care for.<br />

One shrub that’s growing in popularity is<br />

the Weigela, which happens to be one of the<br />

more effortless yet high-performing garden<br />

dwellers around.<br />

Happy in full sun and adaptable to most<br />

soils, this group of shrubs is quite cold<br />

hardy and can shrug off intense heat and<br />

browsing deer. Match that with their classic<br />

spring flowers and colorful foliage options<br />

and you’ve got a grand slam.<br />

Plant breeders have been working for<br />

years to bring new, trouble-free varieties<br />

with dark purple to sunny yellow to vibrantly<br />

variegated foliage to the table. Now gardeners<br />

get to enjoy the fruits of their labor.<br />

Dark purple Weigela are among the most<br />

dramatic of the group. And, fortunately,<br />

there are three excellent selections that<br />

come in a range of sizes to suit any garden<br />

space.<br />

Wine & Roses has beautiful dark foliage<br />

and rosy pink spring flowers, which often<br />

rebloom. At 4 to 5 feet tall and wide, it is a<br />

perfect choice for foundation plantings or<br />

If you have ever been in a house with a sagging<br />

or bouncing floor, it's a good bet that the<br />

subfloor and underlayment layers were not<br />

prepared correctly. The subfloor is the foundation<br />

or structural support on which the<br />

underlayment is placed. You can install the<br />

best resilient flooring in the world like<br />

linoleum, rubber, cork or vinyl, but it won't<br />

help a bad subfloor and underlayment.<br />

Hardwood, plywood, particleboard and oriented<br />

strand board (OSB) are the most common<br />

types of underlayment for resilient<br />

flooring. Although sometimes hard to find,<br />

the back of a mixed border.<br />

Fine Wine Weigela is a good contender for<br />

massing and works well around the back<br />

patio or deck. It has the same intense purple<br />

color as Wine & Roses, only in a slightly<br />

smaller package at 2 to 3 feet tall and wide.<br />

While old Weigela varieties typically need<br />

a good pruning to keep up their looks, Fine<br />

Wine stays manageable and rarely needs<br />

attention.<br />

For gardeners with limited space, consider<br />

Midnight Wine Weigela.<br />

This little gem grows to 10 to 12 inches tall<br />

and wide, making it a prime candidate for<br />

bed edges, along pathways and containers.<br />

Like the other purple-leaved cultivars,<br />

Midnight Wine offers a great contrast to<br />

bright annual flowers such as Pentas and<br />

Lantana.<br />

Another excellent dwarf variety for small<br />

spaces is My Monet Weigela. It is a unique<br />

shrub with bright green and white variegated<br />

leaves that will often blush with pink as<br />

the season progresses. The spring flush of<br />

rosy pink flowers is icing on the cake.<br />

My Monet also works well in container<br />

gardens, at the front of borders or as a mass<br />

Guaranteed Not To Sag<br />

hardwood makes an excellent choice for<br />

areas not prone to moisture. Plywood is the<br />

most commonly used underlayment, with<br />

lauan being the most widely available, and<br />

comes in three grades: BB, CC and overlay.<br />

Like hardwood, particleboard is susceptible<br />

to moisture and should be used in areas not<br />

prone to moisture. OSB, wood strands bound<br />

together, is fire and impact resistant and can<br />

help control a room's sound and temperature.<br />

When installing wood or laminate flooring,<br />

be sure to use only what the manufacturer<br />

recommends or you will risk voiding the<br />

warranty. The most popular underlayments<br />

for wood and laminates in areas not prone to<br />

moisture are standard foam, thin pieces of<br />

foam placed directly on a plywood or concrete<br />

subfloor. A combination of film and<br />

combustion foam has a moisture barrier<br />

attached and can be used in areas prone to<br />

moisture. Upgraded wood or laminate, highquality<br />

foam made from fibers or rubber,<br />

works well in areas where some soundproofing<br />

is needed. Cork may also be used to<br />

reduce the noise between floors and raise the<br />

PROMPT<br />

planting.<br />

For something with a little more punch,<br />

try ‘Eyecatcher’ Weigela. A bold choice for<br />

semi-shady areas, this plant is 2 to 3 feet tall<br />

and wide and has vibrant green and yellow<br />

variegated leaves accented by dark red<br />

spring flowers.<br />

It can be used to brighten dark corners of<br />

the landscape or to greet visitors near an<br />

entryway throughout the season.<br />

This year, a more subtle player will be<br />

available. Be on the lookout for Ghost<br />

Weigela, which features yellow-green foliage<br />

and dark red flowers in spring.<br />

The remarkable leaves turn a ghostly, iridescent<br />

butter-cream in summer. Although it<br />

reaches 4 to 5 feet tall and wide, you may<br />

want to plant it near a walkway where the<br />

distinctive color can be enjoyed up close.<br />

To say the varieties available for this easyto-grow<br />

group of shrubs are nearly endless<br />

could be seen as an understatement.<br />

Whether you’re looking for a small accent<br />

plant or a bold focal point, there is Weigela<br />

out there for you.<br />

To find out more about these adaptable<br />

plants, visit www.color choiceplants.com.<br />

level of the subfloor but will cost more.<br />

Before installing underlayment, familiarize<br />

yourself with the supplier's recommendations.<br />

Lay the seams so they don't fall over<br />

the subfloor seams and never place a seam in<br />

the middle of a high-traffic area or doorway.<br />

Check that the underlayment is well<br />

anchored. Use a floor patch to fill in any<br />

indentations or joints in the subfloor and<br />

underlayment, and sand until smooth.<br />

Finally, clean the underlayment prior to<br />

installing the flooring.<br />

Be aware that installing a subfloor and<br />

underlayment can be tricky, and if not done<br />

correctly, can cause the floor to sag and<br />

bounce. Some patching compounds must be<br />

used with certain underlayments, and in<br />

some cases, nail holes must be filled in.<br />

Unless you are comfortable doing the work,<br />

you might want to hire a professional. It is<br />

not uncommon for some minor dips to<br />

appear in a floor because of stress and<br />

fatigue. However, if the floor sags, there<br />

could be some serious structural problems,<br />

so make sure the subfloor and undelayment<br />

are installed properly.<br />

Americana<br />

At Its Best<br />

You like to shop at flea markets, and<br />

as you walk through the booths on<br />

weekends, you find yourself drawn to<br />

objects that reflect a sense of patriotism.<br />

Sometimes, it's something small<br />

like a red, white and blue pot, while<br />

at other times it's something large<br />

like an old flag. You love all things<br />

Americana and would like to decorate<br />

one of the rooms in your home in that<br />

style.<br />

Americana style is extremely versatile.<br />

The traditional theme is patriotic<br />

in nature and incorporates the colors<br />

of red, white and blue. Other themes<br />

may reflect a time in American life like<br />

the 1950s or a particular location like<br />

the New Jersey seaboard and feature<br />

colors relating to that.<br />

If you are going for a traditional<br />

Americana feel, you will want to select<br />

a color palette based on red, white and<br />

blue. These can be the actual tones<br />

used on the American flag or more subdued<br />

tones like maroon, beige<br />

and light blue. To prevent the<br />

room from looking too busy,<br />

you should use one color as<br />

the base and the others as<br />

accents.<br />

Hardwood<br />

flooring makes<br />

as a great backdrop<br />

for a traditional<br />

American room<br />

and adds an air of<br />

authenticity.<br />

Most homes<br />

built during<br />

colonial times<br />

featured wideplanked<br />

oak<br />

or pine floors. However, for comfort<br />

and warmth, you may prefer<br />

to stick to carpet.<br />

Furnishings for traditional<br />

Americana<br />

rooms<br />

need not<br />

be formal. In<br />

fact, simple,<br />

unpretentious pieces<br />

are often preferred<br />

because they reflect<br />

the décor of homes<br />

during the birth of<br />

the nation.<br />

Whitewashed<br />

pieces work well<br />

as do homespun<br />

p i e c e s .<br />

Antiques of<br />

the time like a spinning wheel or old<br />

chair often add a touch of fancy.<br />

With the paint, flooring and furnishings<br />

in place, it's time to start loading<br />

the room with accessories. Here's<br />

where all of your flea market finds will<br />

come in handy. Remember that pot and<br />

flag you bought? Bring them in and all<br />

of the pieces of Americana you have<br />

stashed around your home. Place them<br />

around the room and show off your<br />

national pride.<br />

Creating an Americana room is not<br />

hard, and once you do it, you may want<br />

to take the style farther and incorporate<br />

it into other rooms in your home.<br />

Just remember, you don't have to stick<br />

to the traditional patriotic room. You<br />

can move into new territory and create<br />

a Floridian paradise in your sunroom<br />

or a '50s diner in your kitchen. It's your<br />

choice, so have fun!<br />

Ways to save on homeowners insurance<br />

Looking for a way to save on homeowner's<br />

insurance and ensure the safety of<br />

your family and possessions? One quick,<br />

inexpensive way to do this is to invest in<br />

smoke detectors and fire extinguishers.<br />

Due to the large number of home firerelated<br />

deaths each year and advances in<br />

technology, smoke detectors and fire<br />

extinguishers are progressively being<br />

offered at more affordable rates.<br />

Now that you can afford to protect<br />

yourself, what kind of smoke detector<br />

should you get? Well, there is a wide variety<br />

on the market today, but the most<br />

common categories are battery-operated,<br />

hard-wired and "hot-linked." There are<br />

pros and cons to each. Installing batteryoperated<br />

smoke detectors is usually very<br />

simple. All it takes is a screwdriver or<br />

drill, a nine-volt battery and about 10<br />

minutes. Most battery-operated smoke<br />

detectors need to be checked every few<br />

weeks to ensure that the battery is still<br />

working, but beyond that, nothing major<br />

needs to be done to maintain them. After<br />

battery-operated designs come the hardwired<br />

detectors. These are generally<br />

more expensive and, depending on the<br />

style, may require some minor electrical<br />

work. Although they do not have the<br />

problem of a dying battery, they could<br />

fail if a fire starts when your power is out<br />

or if your power goes out as a result of an<br />

electrical fire. Finally, the "hot-linked"<br />

category refers to systems that actually<br />

connect to your local fire department and<br />

are usually offered though various commercial<br />

security companies. They are<br />

hard-wired detectors that connect to an<br />

alarm system within the home, often in<br />

conjunction with a burglar alarm, and<br />

contact the authorities when the alarm is<br />

triggered.<br />

Once you have decided what type of<br />

smoke detector to purchase, you should<br />

find out the basic differences among<br />

models. Some models detect ionization<br />

only. While they are good at detecting<br />

high-flame fires, they may not detect<br />

smokier fires for a while, increasing the<br />

risk of smoke inhalation. These models<br />

are generally the cheapest you will find<br />

at a given store and are often handed out<br />

by fire departments during fire safety<br />

promotions. Photoelectric models spot<br />

smoky fires well, but fail to detect highflame<br />

fires as quickly. How do you solve<br />

the dilemma? Find a model that uses both<br />

ionization and photoelectric detection.<br />

Some even have carbon monoxide detection<br />

built in for added security.<br />

In addition to installing smoke detectors<br />

throughout your home, you should<br />

boost your safety by placing fire extinguishers<br />

in several rooms in the house,<br />

particularly the kitchen, any rooms with<br />

fireplaces and the bedroom hallway.<br />

These can be mounted on the wall and<br />

should be checked periodically to ensure<br />

they are still fully functional.<br />

Save on your homeowner's insurance<br />

and help protect your family and possessions.<br />

Install smoke detectors and fire<br />

extinguishers around your home and<br />

check them often!<br />

4 SPENCER NEW LEADER • Friday, April 4, 2008<br />

Considering Deck Design?<br />

If you are looking for a place to grill,<br />

socialize or just relax after a long day of<br />

work, you may want to consider adding a<br />

deck to your home. A deck provides a<br />

place for a family to gather outside and<br />

enjoy nice weather, have a good meal and<br />

spend quality time together. It can add to<br />

the value of a home as well. Raised decks<br />

can even provide shelter for exits from<br />

the home or stored equipment.<br />

If you are going to build a deck, the<br />

first thing to do is to check with the local<br />

zoning office to investigate regulations<br />

on decks. With these regulations, you will<br />

know the minimum standards for building.<br />

This will also give you a chance to<br />

make sure you can build a deck. Once you<br />

have these regulations, start thinking<br />

about what purposes you want your deck<br />

to serve. Would you like a cooking space?<br />

Are you surrounding a hot tub or a pool?<br />

Do you intend to have a patio set for<br />

meals? With these purposes in mind, you<br />

can begin to consider how you want to<br />

shape your deck. Keep in mind that building<br />

a deck without an access point from<br />

the house can create another difficult<br />

project-installing an access point. Using<br />

measurements of your backyard and<br />

graph paper, draw out a few possibilities<br />

for your deck. Outline the potential border<br />

of your deck on your plans and place<br />

anything you would want on your deck in<br />

the deck space you have created. This<br />

will help tell you if the deck you plan to<br />

build is going to be large enough and give<br />

you an idea of what your deck will look<br />

like when fully furnished.<br />

When you have your design, begin<br />

investigating how much you will need of<br />

various materials. Start with the standard<br />

regulations from your zoning commission.<br />

You will probably want to go<br />

above and beyond the regulations,<br />

though, as they are a minimum standard.<br />

For increased safety, use extra fortifications<br />

and quality building material.<br />

While you are in this stage, one important<br />

factor to consider is whether or not<br />

your deck is going to be attached to your<br />

house. If it is, you may also have to deal<br />

with siding issues and the actual attachment<br />

to the house. If your deck is freestanding,<br />

as many are, you will still have<br />

to accommodate for nearby siding and<br />

the structure of the house.<br />

s you plan your deck, keep in mind that<br />

several accessories can be added. If you<br />

have stairs or an overhang, are you going<br />

to install lighting? Although accent<br />

lights can be added along stairs and<br />

wiring can be run for overhead lighting<br />

later, it is much easier to include that in<br />

the original plans. Are you going to be<br />

covering your spigot for your backyard?<br />

If so, how do you propose to access that<br />

spigot once the deck is constructed? Are<br />

you installing railing around the perimeter<br />

of the deck? Depending on the height<br />

of the deck, this may be mandatory by<br />

regulation. Even if it is not mandatory, it<br />

can create an attractive border as well as<br />

a safety feature. If there are any water<br />

elements included, how will you access<br />

control panels and plumbing if there are<br />

problems? If there are trees in the area in<br />

which you propose to build your deck, do<br />

you intend to build around them for natural<br />

shade, or do you plan on cutting<br />

them down for the wood? These are just a<br />

few questions that may come up as you<br />

are finalizing plans for your deck.<br />

Keep in mind that the more complex<br />

your deck plans get, the more likely you<br />

are going to need a contractor. Also,<br />

remember that the building permit<br />

requires inspections. While these inspections<br />

can be thorough, they are not a<br />

guarantee of any work. They are<br />

designed to help protect you and whoever<br />

may own the home in the future. If you<br />

have concerns about the safety of your<br />

plans or construction, consult a contractor<br />

for advice or help.<br />

(NAPSI)-If you've ever thought about<br />

owning a home, now may be the time to<br />

take action. Lower interest rates combined<br />

with a large inventory of homes in<br />

most markets across the U.S. may translate<br />

into a good opportunity for buyers in<br />

negotiating the terms of a sale with a seller.<br />

The homebuying process may seem<br />

daunting to someone who has never purchased<br />

a home before. But through homebuying<br />

educational seminars offered in<br />

your community, and with the assistance<br />

of an experienced loan officer, a first-time<br />

homebuyer can obtain a better understanding<br />

of financing options, leading to a<br />

more positive homebuying experience.<br />

"Whether you've been dreaming of owning<br />

a home for years or you've just decided<br />

it would be a smart financial move to<br />

make, your first homebuying experience<br />

will be a memorable one," says Jim<br />

Ferriter, executive vice president for<br />

GMAC Mortgage. "It's important to learn<br />

about your financing options in order to<br />

find the mortgage that's right for you."<br />

Ferriter offers the following tips for<br />

first-time homebuyers:<br />

1. Educate Yourself About the<br />

Mortgage Process--By taking the initiative<br />

and learning about the mortgage<br />

process, you can be more confident in the<br />

financial decisions you are making. It's<br />

mortgages, how much you can afford, how<br />

your credit impacts your interest rate and<br />

the benefits of homeownership. A mortgage<br />

tutorial is available at http://smartedgebygmac.com,<br />

which breaks down the<br />

homebuying process into easy-to-understand<br />

steps.<br />

2. Save Just a Little Bit More--It's not<br />

only important to save money for the<br />

down payment and closing costs, but it's<br />

important to factor in some of the other<br />

costs of homeownership such as decorating,<br />

repairs and maintenance. Many<br />

mortgage lenders recommend that firsttime<br />

homebuyers have at least three to six<br />

months of additional savings in their possession<br />

in anticipation of these additional<br />

expenses.<br />

3. Check Your Credit--An individual's<br />

credit score will have a significant<br />

impact on his or her mortgage loan<br />

approval and interest rate. A good first<br />

step in financing a home purchase is to<br />

check your credit history. You can request<br />

a free credit report from any of the three<br />

credit-reporting bureaus: Equifax,<br />

TransUnion or Experian. Carefully<br />

review your report and contact the creditreporting<br />

bureaus to correct any inaccuracies.<br />

4. Shop Around for a Mortgage<br />

Lender--As you start thinking about and<br />

preparing for the homebuying process,<br />

from whom you would like to obtain a<br />

mortgage for your new home. Because<br />

this process is new, it's easy to go with the<br />

first lender or loan officer you meet.<br />

Instead, take your time and shop around.<br />

Start by asking friends, co-workers and<br />

family members for recommendations.<br />

When you've identified two or three loan<br />

officers, ask for references. In addition to<br />

pricing (interest rate and closing costs),<br />

focus on customer service as well as other<br />

services and tools that a mortgage lender<br />

may be able to offer you.<br />

5. Get Preapproved--Before you start<br />

working with a real estate agent, consider<br />

contacting a mortgage lender to obtain a<br />

pre-approval credit decision. A loan officer<br />

will review your financial status,<br />

including your income, cash flow and<br />

credit score, to help you determine the<br />

maximum monthly housing payment for<br />

which you may be able to qualify, and, if<br />

qualified, "preapprove" your mortgage<br />

before you've found a home. Armed with a<br />

credit pre-approval, you can start searching<br />

for homes with a much better idea of<br />

your price range, and in turn save time as<br />

you will know the right homes to focus on.<br />

Obtaining a preapproval may offer more<br />

confidence and certainty to home sellers<br />

in your ability to purchase the home.<br />

6. Don't Be Afraid to Ask Questions--<br />

Once you've found your new home, the<br />

mortgage lender will help you through the<br />

details of the loan<br />

process. From application<br />

to closing,<br />

to purchasing a<br />

home, don't forget to<br />

hire a licensed home<br />

inspector to conduct a<br />

of the property. An<br />

inspector can alert<br />

you to any major<br />

problems with the<br />

home, and/or help<br />

and long-term home<br />

BLESSED VIRGIN<br />

(Never known to fail). Oh<br />

most beautiful flower of Mt.<br />

Carmel, fruitful vine,<br />

splendor of Heaven, Blessed<br />

Mother of the Son of God,<br />

Immaculate Virgin, assist me<br />

in this my necessity. Oh Star<br />

of the Sea, help me and<br />

show me herein, you are my<br />

mother, Oh Holy Mary,<br />

Mother of God, Queen of<br />

Heaven and Earth, I humbly<br />

beseech you from the bottom<br />

of my heart, succor me in<br />

this necessity. There are<br />

none that can withstand your<br />

call. Oh, show me herein,<br />

problems, light all roads so<br />

that I can attain my goal.<br />

You gave me the divine gift<br />

to forgive and forget all evil<br />

against me in all instances of<br />

my life, you are with me. I<br />

want this short prayer to<br />

thank you for all things as<br />

you confirm once again that I<br />

never want to be separated<br />

from you even in spite of<br />

material things. I wish to be<br />

with you in eternal glory.<br />

Thank you for your mercy<br />

toward me and mine. The<br />
