Thursday, June 2, 2016 3 • Burgess seeking volunteers for National Trails Day BY OLIVIA RICHMAN NEWS STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE — National Trails Day on June 4 has inspired Sturbridge to come together as a community and complete a trail in the rear of Burgess Elementary School. The Burgess Elementary PTO and the Sturbridge Trail Committee are asking for volunteers to help spread top and bottom gravel on Saturday, June 4. The 1,500-foot-long trail will serve as a way to get children outdoors during school days. It will provide teachers with an outdoor classroom, whether they’re teaching science, physical education or at classes. It’s an opportunity to provide additional tools for education and physical activity. “It’s just a great way to kids to get out in the woods,” said PTO member Sarah LaFrance. “It’s nice they’re in a safe place. All students will be able to take advantage of it. It’s ultimately an outside classroom.” Last year the PTO, Boy Scouts and the Trail Committee started working on the trail. The Trail Committee discussed a design and received permits related to the wetlands the trail travels through. They also wanted to make sure the trail was fully handicap accessible. Boy Scouts completed a bridge for an Eagle Scout project. The project was shut down for the winter months. So far around $5,500 has been spent to get the trail up and ready, including tools, materials and renting equipment. The nature trail is being funded by money that was set aside for maintaining a playground that was built at Burgess 30 years ago and is no longer in existence. “We support this project 100 percent,” said Trail Committee member Tom Chamberland. “We have been enthu- siastic in supporting it and we have helped on several of the volunteer days. It’s been a great community event overall.” According to Chamberland, one of the long-term goals for the trail is to build an amphitheater to further provide Burgess Elementary with an outdoor classroom. There has also been talk of exercise stations along the trail. But for now, the goal is to finish the basic trail on National Trails Day. On National Trails Day, leaf and dust layers must be removed from the second half of the trail. Volunteers will be wheel barrowing in gravel to get a base down and compacted, making sure it’s firm enough for wheelchair access. Registration will begin at 8 a.m. Volunteers came come and go as they please and the day will end at 3 p.m. At noontime, there will be a pizza lunch. Water will also be available throughout the day. Volunteers are asked to bring wheelbarrows if possible in order to move gravel over the trail’s bridge. “It’s so nice to have an outside area. There are kids that don’t have the ability to be outside during the school day,” said LaFrance. “I know that my family loves to be outside and we love to hike. If we can encourage other kids to have that experience, I think that’s great.” To RSVP to the event or get more information contact LaFrance at sarahlafrance_13@yahoo.com or via phone at 508-498-6214. The PTO and Trail Committee want to thank volunteers in advance for their hard work and support. Olivia Richman can be reached at 508-909-4132 or by e-mail at olivia@stonebridgepress.com. News Briefs Fattman supports regional school busing amendment BOSTON — The State Senate voted to boost regional school busing funds through an amendment Tuesday, May 24, amid the state budget debate. State Sen. Ryan C. Fattman (R-Webster), who supported the amendment, stated it would reimburse nearly 73 percent of the cost of shuttling students to and from school under the budget amendment, which was unanimously adopted by the Senate. The amendment increases the original line item appropriation by $2 million for transportation reimbursements. The boost brings the total line item funding to $61,021,000 up from the $59,021,000 originally proposed by the Senate Ways and Means Committee. Senators in support of the amendment said the state needs to work towards fulfilling the promise made to regional school districts to reimburse them 100 percent of student transporta- tion costs. There are 58 regional school districts in Massachusetts, educating children from 171 cities and towns across the Commonwealth. Durant announces June office hours State Rep.

The amendment, filed by Senator Gobi, raises the reimbursement rate to 73 percent of full funding, at a total of $61,021,000. “I appreciate the support of my Senate colleagues to increase funding that assists all 58 regional school districts and 171 communities,” said Gobi. “This eases the burden on local budgets, but there is more room for work.” Regional school districts often have higher student transportation costs since they cover larger geographic regions.

of Arts degree in communications. The new major will prepare students for careers in broadcasting, journalism, social media, public relations, and advertising. Available to undergraduate students starting this fall 2016 semester, the 30-credit major adds to the College’s robust list of academic programs and distinctive career-focused and leadership-based approaches to learning, both in and out of the classroom. “Given today’s rapidly changing digital media landscape, all organizations big and small have the capacity to develop and publish their own material,” said Professor Jeffrey A. Halprin, Ph.D., English Program chair and co-designer of the Communications Program. “The new communications BA program focuses on career readiness, leadership, and the development of skills that are essential for one to succeed in today’s competitive workplace — providing a strong theoretical framework while developing practical skills for communicating across a variety of media platforms.” CHARLTON continued from page A 6 Luciani, Jason Luke, Chase McKenney, Elizabeth McLam, Kevin McManus, Coby Merchant, Samuel Messier, Hector Morales, Michael Mullaly, Anna Murray, Connor Novack, Mackenzie Parrettie, Alexander Pelic, Sarah Popsuj, Chloe Robbins, William Ross, Joseph Rubin, Madison Rynne, Parker Santon, Abigail Shaw, Dylan Smaltz, Isabella Sousa, Allison St. Pierre, Kyleigh Sutherland, Karyssa Thompson, Cullen West, Damian Wielgorecki, Cole Wilson, Louis Zanca GRADE 8 High Honors: Michael Acquaah Harrison, Lauren Alicea, Julia Antocci, Ethan Ayotte, Lauren Bigelow, Julia Blauvelt, Cameron Bonin, Emily Brindisi, Abbey Burdett, Madison Caissie, Juliana Callahan, Abigail Cofsky, Zackary Cook, Braman Cronin, Thursday, June 2, 2016 7 • SOUTHBRIDGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Employment of media and communication occupations is projected to grow 4 percent from now through 2024, which will result in about 27,400 new jobs, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (USBLS). Demand for media and communication occupations should stem from the need to create, edit, translate, and disseminate information through a variety of different platforms, the USBLS states. In addition, more than 80 percent of employers say that effective written, digital, and oral communication skills are among the most important they consider when making hiring decisions; development of these skills is the Nichols program’s focus. Communications graduates can expect to find work with public relations agencies, colleges and universities, non-profit organizations, professional sports teams, television stations, magazines, newspapers, government, and in many other types of organizations. Nichols communications majors will learn and apply critical- and analytical-thinking skills to build successful interpersonal relationships, and add their skills base to a strong sense of ethics and social responsibility. As part of their coursework, they will take advantage of the state-ofthe-art television studio, “green room,” and editing equipment available in the College’s new academic building, which opened in fall 2015. Communications graduates will emerge from the Nichols program with the ability to shape business decisions. “The outcome of this engaging degree program is a graduate that has the skills he or she needs to make an effective impact in the workplace,” said Professor Mauri S. Pelto, Ph.D., associate dean of liberal arts at Nichols College, who designed the Communications Program with Professor Halprin. “Nichols students are prepared for success with cutting-edge communications skills coupled with a well-rounded education.” In addition to the College’s core business and liberal arts-focused curriculum, the Communications Program requires students take 10 communication courses (30 credits), ranging from public speaking and public relations to social media, visual communications, and more. An internship is required, and students will find ample opportunities for experiential learning that is exclusively associated with the communications major. Courses are taught by faculty who have robust experience in the communications field. “A highlight of the Nichols curriculum is our pioneering Professional Development Seminars program, which gives our graduates a distinct advantage in the competitive workplace,” said Pelto.

After a slideshow presentation, showing the students hands-on work and space-related field trips, family and friends were invited to view the Mars Rover prototypes students created out of recyclable materials. “This is where the district is heading,” said Principal Dean Packard. “It’s a hands-on inquiry learning opportunity for kids – the fun, the discovery. This night was a culmination of everything and you can feel the kids’ excitement.” The students’ Mars Rover prototypes and notebooks full of their notes and research were on display at the Road to Mars Family Night. “It was really fun,” said Brady Donahue. “I like building things and being creative.” Road to Mars Family Night featured a slideshow of the students working on their Mars Rovers. Abigail Vieira, pictured with her team’s Mars Rover prototype, greeted families in full astronaut gear.

Chilinski President & Publisher Adam Minor Editor My flag It’s something I’ve wanted since I bought my first home. Actually, it’s something I’ve wanted even before that, when my wife and I were renting our first place. It never would have been an issue, I’m sure, but it always felt weird making changes to a home that wasn’t ours. It never happened. It’s relatively small, and is not a major purchase when you think of it in purely financial terms, but it’s something that may mean more than anything I own. It’s The red and hite, Minor w with a litcorner Details tle of blue, decoratADAM ed with MINOR stars and stripes and is the symbol of freedom we enjoy here in the United States of America. It waves freely with the wind as I write this, a proud symbol of freedom. Last fall, after more than a full year in our new home, and armed with a gift certificate to Lowe’s, I purchased my first American flag kit, but with nowhere to mount it correctly without cutting into my vinyl siding, and time not on my side weather-wise to do such a project before winter, I tabled the installation to the spring as time got away with me — as I’m sure many of my readers with two young children can understand. Last week, just in time for Memorial Day, my father and I, completely randomly and on a whim, dug into the project, and installed the mounting block right next to our front door, and put up my flag for the first time. It turned out to be way easier of a project than I thought, mostly because of my father’s prowess with projects such as these. What would I ever do without him? As I tightened the set screw for the first time, securing the flag in its mount for the next few hours, I thought of all my friends and family that have served or currently serve in the military. My uncles, Henry and Steve, my grandfather, Roger, and literally two dozen of my friends — my life is filled with people that have served this country. That piece of nylon that now hangs from my house means so much more than just colors and designs. It’s more than just a neat piece of décor. That flag is why I can enjoy the freedoms I have, why my children can grow up in a country where they will be able to freely enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Mother Nature did not cooperate last weekend, as many parades and ceremonies were either altered or cancelled outright. In my town, we moved our ceremony indoors into the school’s gym. It was stripped of the usual pomp and circumstance that usually accompanies such things, and was fairly brief. But it was great because we got right to the heart of the matter with our program — showing appreciation for our veterans through speeches and song. As part of the ceremony, a local U.S. Navy veteran, Carl Reed, was honored for his service. He tentatively approached the podium with emotion, obviously touched that he was being honored for his service. He spoke gently and earnestly into the microphone. “I don’t have much to say … except thank you.” And that was it. Simple. Effective. And probably more powerful than any 5-minute speech could deliver. It was actually quite moving. He simply thanked everyone in attendance for the honor, but I believe it should have been the other way around. Thank us? No, sir. Thank you. I came home later that day, and the sun was out after a morning of overcast nastiness. The grass was still damp. The flag — my flag — waved gently in the breeze, the sun giving it a nice glow as it rippled slowly. I thought of all my friends that selflessly gave, my uncles who sacrificed so much, and my grandfather, my father’s father, a man I never knew, that served for years as a U.S. Army veteran of World War II and the Korean War — their work has made it possible for me live free in these United States. That flag reminds me of that. With Memorial Day now in the rear view mirror for another year, let me add in one more chorus of gratitude as we turn our attention to other things. To all who have served, or are currently serving — thank you. My flag waves proudly because of you. Adam Minor may be reached at (508) 909-4130, or by e-mail at aminor@stonebridgepress.com.

The Jazz Band organizes this free concert for our residents once a year. Our very own resident Newman Allen had a chance to join in with the band, playing piano. To the Editor ‘A job well done’ with anniversary celebration To the Editor: Kudos to all who planned, participated, and performed in the events to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the town of Southbridge.

DiPietro Memorial Golf Tournament a success To the Editor: The Southbridge Lions Club would like to thank all the golfers who joined us at Heritage Country Club on Friday, May 13, for our 7th Annual Al DiPietro Memorial Golf Tournament. Proceeds from the golf tournament are returned to the community in the form of scholarships, which are offered to deserving, graduating seniors each spring. In recognition of their generosity and support of this event we extend special thanks to Ed Galonek and All Star Incentive Marketing, Heritage Country Club, Place Motors, Industrial Cleaning Products, Incom, Tom Robb, Colin Mocklow, Ralph Jolin, Greg Kalis, Ken Updike, Alex Rodriguez, Bernie Madore, Tim Cooke , Justin Guzman, Jeff Bruso, Mike Cantwell, Norman Brodeur, Russ Labarge, Steve Ide, Sal LeDonne, Bill Gibson and Jim Keyes. The Southbridge Lions Club would also like to take this opportunity to send out a special thank you to Tim Griffith of Colonial Copy Center. Every May, Tim donates his time and resources to print the golf tournament booklet. We appreciate all that he does for us and look forward to many more years of working with Colonial Copy Center. Southbridge Lions Club Keeping the faith in our school system To the Editor: We have all heard the negatives about the Southbridge schools in the recent months, but I would like to talk about something very positive that I have personally witnessed. My granddaughter, Courtney, is graduating this June after going through the life-skills program because of her learning disabilities where she made the honor roll every term. She has done so well because of the dedicated staff as well as the entire student population that accepted her and made her feel as one of them. She just went to the senior prom with the help of some extraordinary and very wonderful people. First I have to thank Mrs. Lambert, for all she did to make this whole experience happen. I have to thank Mrs. Cook for getting the donated gown and to Mrs. Mercure for altering it. I also have to thank Mrs. Allard for working with the senior class to vote her as the prom princess in the first place and for giving her a sash, tiara, and a bouquet of roses. The senior class showed their compassion by voting her the prom princess and giving her a wonderful memory that will last her a lifetime. My wife, Celeste, and I can’t thank all of you great people enough! I have a lot of faith in these people and may God bless you all! William Rivernider Sturbridge Talk to your adult children about smart financial moves If you have children who are finishing college or embarking on their first full-time job, you obviously want them to get off to a good start in their adult and working lives. And by virtue of your years of experience, you probably have some good advice to offer — especially when it comes to making smart financial moves. Of course, you can find a broad array of financial topics to discuss. But if you want to concentrate on just a few, you might consider these for starters: Investing for the future – When young people are paying off student loans, they may not think they can also afford to invest for the future. Indeed, this can be challenging – but it’s not impossible. So, if your children go to work for an employer that offers a retirement plan, such as a 401(k), you may want to point out that they can have money automatically invested – and since they never really “had” this money in the first place, they are less likely to miss it. They can start by deferring small amounts; when their earnings rise, they can increase their contributions. Buying a home and paying off a mortgage – With Financial interest rates still low, now Focus is not a bad time for prospective first-time homebuyers. JEFF Of course, if your children BURDICK truly are starting out in the working world, it will likely take them a few years to save up enough for a down payment. But even after they reach that goal, you may want to warn them not to become “house poor” by spending a large portion of their total income on home ownership. If they do buy a house, though, and their incomes go up as their careers progress, they may wonder if they should pay down their mortgage quicker. While they might feel good about lowering that debt, you may want to point out that an argument could be made for putting money in assets that will likely be more liquid, such as stocks and bonds. For one thing, if your children were to lose their jobs, and they needed cash to tide them over until they were once again employed, they’d likely find it much harder to get money out of their homes than their invest- Could Social Security really go away? Will Social Security run out of money in the 2030’s? For years, Americans have been warned about that possibility. Those warnings, however, assume that no action will be taken to address Social Security’s financial challenges. S o c i a l Security is Money being strained by a giant Matters demographic shift. In 2030, JASON more than 20 percent of the MAIN U.S. population will be 65 or older. In 2010, only 13 percent of the nation was that old. In 1970, less than 10 percent of Americans were in that age group. Demand for Social Security benefits has increased, and the ratio of retirees to working-age adults has changed. In 2010, the Census Bureau determined that there were about 21 seniors (people aged 65 or older) for every 100 workers. By 2030, the Bureau projects that there will be 35 seniors for every 100 workers. As payroll taxes fund Social Security, the program faces a major dilemma. Actually, it faces two. Social Security maintains two trust funds. When you read a sentence stating that “Social Security could run out of money by 2035,” that statement refers to the projected shortfall of the Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) Trust. The OASDI is the main reservoir of Social Security benefits, from which monthly payments are made to seniors. The latest Social Security Trustees report indeed concludes that the OASDI Trust could be exhausted by 2035 from years of cash outflows exceeding cash inflows. Congress just put a patch on Social Security’s other, arguably more pressing problem. Social Security’s Disability Insurance (SSDI) Trust Fund risked being unable to pay out 100 percent of scheduled benefits to SSDI recipients this year, but the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 directed a slightly greater proportion of payroll taxes funding Social Security into the DI trust for the short term. This should give the DI Trust enough revenue to pay out 100 percent of benefits through 2022. Funding it adequately after 2022 remains an issue. If the OASDI Trust is exhausted in 2035, what would happen to retirement benefits? They would decrease. Imagine Social Security payments shrinking 21 percent. If Congress does not act to remedy Social Security’s cash flow situation before then, Social Security Trustees forecast that a 21 percent cut may be necessary in 2035 to ensure payment of benefits through 2087. No one wants to see that happen, so what might Congress do to address the crisis? Three ideas in particular have gathered support. • Raise the cap on Social Security taxes. Currently, employers and employees each pay a 6.2 percent payroll tax to fund Social Security (the self-employed pay 12.4 percent of their earnings into the program). The earnings cap on the tax in 2016 is $118,500, so any earned income above that level is not subject to payroll tax. Lifting (or even abolishing) that cap would bring Social Security more payroll tax revenue, specifically from higher-income Americans. • Adjust the full retirement age. Should it be raised to 68? How about 70? Some people see merit in this, as many baby boomers may work and live longer than their parents did. In theory, it could promote longer careers and shorter retirements, and thereby lessen demand for Social Security benefits. Healthier and wealthier baby boomers might find the idea acceptable, but poorer and less healthy boomers might not. • Calculate COLAs differently. Social Security uses the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Workers and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) in figuring cost-of-living adjustments. Many senior advocates argue that the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly (CPI-E) should be used instead. The CPI-E often gives more weight to health care expenses and housing costs than the CPI-W. Not only that, the CPI-E only considers the cost of living for people 62 and older. That last feature may also be its biggest drawback. Since it only includes some of the American population in its calculations, its detractors argue that it may not measure inflation as well as the broader CPI-W. Social Security could still face a shortfall even if all of these ideas were adopted. The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College estimates that if all of these “fixes” were put into play today, the OASDI Trust would still face a revenue shortage in 2035. In future decades, Social Security may not be able to offer retirees what it does now, unless dramatic moves are made on Capitol Hill. In the worst-case scenario, monthly benefits would be cut to keep the program solvent. A depressing thought, but one worth remembering as you plan for the future.

Thursday, June 2, 2016 11 • Honor veterans: Think about foreign policy (Author’s Note: I wrote this column originally for Memorial Day 2012, but have updated it to fit 2016.) The best way to honor Earthborn veterans is GUS STEEVES to stop creating more of them. That’s a statement almost anyone I’ve ever said it to agrees with, and it’s really just common sense. So why is it SO hard to DO? In one word – money. As Eisenhower warned decades ago, the “military-industrial complex” has wormed its way into the very fabric of our society such that far too much of our economy and political system depends on it. Sometimes that’s overt. Every year, budget battles force congressmen who advocate for peace and diplomacy to drum up excuses for keeping weapons programs the Pentagon doesn’t want because they provide jobs in their districts. Our “peace prize” president advocates spending a trillion dollars on new nuclear weapons and missile defenses that accelerate the renewed arms race with Russia. Some openly oppose meeting our legal responsibilities under the START and non-proliferation treaties to reduce our stockpiles, with the same result. Who benefits from these things? In the short-term, the people employed by such industries do, to some degree, because they have jobs, but not nearly as much as the companies and stockholders do. In the long-term, nobody does, not even those folks, because the militarization of society promotes conflict and the massive waste of money, resources and skills. So many of those could have been used to address real problems — maintain our infrastructure, switch our energy system from fossil fuels to non-carbon sources, clean up pollution, build good public transit, etc. We’ve seen the dominance of the MIC get stronger in the period since 1991, a time the world’s people should have been seeing some “peace dividend” from “winning” the Cold War. Instead, we been involved in seven hot wars – Iraq I and II, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Syria and Kosovo – the unending “war on terror” that’s undermining our democracy, and more “defense” spending than we’ve seen in decades. To make it worse, we also now have the “pivot to Asia” in which our navy is pushing the envelope in the South China Sea while China’s deploying its first ballistic nuclear submarines, growing hostility in Eastern Europe with Russia, and several countries working to make their nuclear weapons deadlier. Those are not warnings we should take lightly. Violating them is almost guaranteed to create far more veterans than we would know what to do with, while gaining us nothing and risking a catastrophe nobody sane wants to see happen. As anyone who has seen actual combat knows personally, war is NOT a game, no matter what the films and video games make it out to be. As someone (I forget whom) once wrote, “A war is a place not even a nightmare would want to go.” Somewhat less poetically, Gen. Smedley Butler famously said, “War is a racket.” He was right — its primary purpose is to waste resources and make a few people lots of money, while distracting the citizenry and the soldiers themselves with the rhetoric of patriotism and honor.

Also, in terms of accumulating resources for retirement, they might better off building up their investment portfolios, rather than sinking every extra dollar into their homes. Using credit wisely – Urge your children to avoid taking on excessive credit card debt and taking out non-essential loans. As you know, hav- ing a good credit score can pay off in several ways, including getting better rates on mortgages. You may want to risk sounding “old fashioned” by encouraging your children to live within their means. And consider pointing out that it’s often the people who are the most frugal today who may end up with the most money tomorrow. It’s not always easy for young people to get off on the right foot, financially speaking. But as someone make money with other people’s money, some sociopaths do it with other people’s blood. The fact many soldiers DO show their honor, courage, patriotism, and sense of loyalty to fellow soldiers and genuinely want to defend their fellow citizens is a testament to their humanity and deserves respect. Unfortunately, dishonorable politicians and greedy industrialists abuse that humanity for their own profit while treating war’s effect on their victims – civilians and soldiers, “enemy” or ours alike – as simply a cost of doing business, cloaking brutality in euphemisms. Some soldiers can adapt to their horrific experiences, returning home changed but still functioning human beings. But that abuse destroys others, who, in turn, further punish themselves or destroy innocent people, be they relatives, friends or strangers. Nobody benefits from that psychic destruction. But some make big profits from it. This Memorial Day, I see the best way to honor the veterans in my family – Dad, who served in ‘Nam, and both of his parents, who were in World War II – and all others is to end the idea that organized mass murder is a viable way to solve international disputes. I know that’s not easy, because it requires us to learn how to tune out sociopaths who are aggressive, manipulative and very good at playing on our fear. These people exist in all societies – for every one we find overseas (Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Muammar Qaddafi, etc.), we need to realize there’s one here, behind the scenes or even running for office, who loves to hear the beat of our own war drums. Those drums are beginning to get deafening. Whether they lived or died, most of our veterans fought believing they were ensuring the people of the United States would continue to live. To honor their memory this election year, we need to make sure that happens by thinking seriously about the following: What do the candidates seeking our support for president say about foreign and military policy? Maybe even more important, who backs and/or advises them and may be given a key cabinet post? Are they likely to improve our relations around the world or promote more confrontation and violence? What will our country and the world look like when their presidency is over?

Remove an unsightly tree stump without digging: Here’s a great reason to have more cookouts. If you have an unsightly stump in your yard, make your charcoal do double duty. After grilling yourself some juicy steaks, dump the hot coals in the center of the stump. Each time you do this, a little more of the stump will burn away until it disappears. Take the money you’d pay to have the stump ground out and fill your freezer with steaks for even more cookouts! Eleanor K. Price Thompson, Conn. *** Can’t find a hammer? Improvise!

The kind where when you push to raise or lower the lever to get the drain to open and close. They were bailing water from the sink and continuing to use the sink until a plumber could be found. I took a small jewelry sized screw driver, raised the stopper unit and put a thin terry hair scrungee around the stopper so it would just rest in the drain, not fall in so water couldn’t drain. The hair scrungee also kept hair etc. from going down. All set until a new unit can be installed.

It helps the businesses as well.” According to Pelletier, the Center of Hope “jumped right in” after the Town Hall reached out to them about the project. The Board of Health has run Beautify Southbridge alone for quite a while, but they reached out to the Center of Hope in hopes of getting the town more involved. “Every year the snow is a wonderful thing, it hides a lot of sins,” noted Pelletier. “As it melts we see accumulated litter in town. There’s a lot of pride in this town and we want a chance to show it. It’s a beautiful town.” Around 55 people registered to help clean up the town that Saturday morning, collecting around 120 garbage bags full of trash. Syringes, furniture and televisions were also picked up off the streets and neighborhood roads. Next year, the Town Hall expects an even bigger turnout. Beautify Southbridge has taken place in the early morning in past years and near noon time residents notice the volunteers and ask to join. Next year Beautify Southbridge will be later in the day, allowing more people — students included — to get involved. Earlier in May, the Center of Hope was asked to take on the task of cleaning the Quinebaug River. Franklin Properties, owners of the old AO properties, had some work to do on the dam, recalled Pelletier, so they drained the lake. That revealed a lot of litter and dead animals and shopping carts. It also revealed almost 1,000 tires, which Casella paid to have taken away by the proper organizations. Center of Hope staff and program members worked really hard to clean up the lake. Said Pelletier: “The Center of Hope jumped in to help with this project.” Olivia Richman can be reached a 508-9094132 or by e-mail at olivia@stonebridgepress. com. Earlier in May, the Center of Hope was asked to take on the task of cleaning the Quinebaug River. “We wanted people in Southbridge to take pride in their neighborhood,” said Colleen Neely. “The Town Hall said the streets are looking much cleaner than in past years. We want everyone to have pride in where they live. As people travel through we want them to have a good impression and help the town grow and get visitors. It helps the businesses as well.” 14 • Thursday, June 2, 2016 Skies clear just in time for Memorial Day ceremonies in Charlton CHARLTON — It was raining a few hours earlier on Monday, May 30, but the skies turned blue for Charlton’s Memorial Day parade later in the day.

The fundraiser will also feature a 50/50 raffle, raffle prizes, a small petting zoo and animals on the farm, local brewed beer, food and an 18-hole golf course.

The fundraiser also raised $4,000 towards the American Cancer Society through the Relay for Life. This is the 10th year that Battling Sox will be taking part in the Relay for Life.

They don’t want anyone else to have to deal with the fear of cancer. Just hearing the word ‘cancer’…” said Brogna. “Luckily, it is more treatable than it was before. We have more ways to detect it early and there’s better prevention and we are aware of so Classic rock, pop, country and everything in between, Lower Level loves to make people sing and dance. much more. But there’s still work to be done.” More people are being diagnosed with cancer than ever before, doctors catching it when it may not have been identified in the past. The Relay for Life and other fundraisers help to raise awareness, fund research for cancer prevention and bring early detection to the forefront of discussions. “To be able to have the event like Rocking for a Cure, a fun-filled day to help raise money to fight it, it’s like people are getting more,” said Brogna. “It’s not just a donation. It’s a great place to take your kids and hang out with family and friends while helping with the cause.” Olivia Richman can be reached at 508-909-4132 or by e-mail at olivia@ stonebridgepress.com.

The Pioneers finished 9-11, just one win away from the elusive playoff berth. “One game short. There’s a few games that are going to be haunting me for the rest of my life,” said Southbridge head coach Jason Stien, rattling off close losses to Millbury High, Quaboag Regional and David Prouty Regional. “Those are the games that we could have had.” Although the Pioneers didn’t reach the postseason, they showed tremendous improvement from their 2-14 season last spring. “I’m happy with the kids,” said Stien. “They came to work very hard Nick Ethier photos all year long.

Catcher Erick Ortiz of Southbridge grabs the ball after Grafton’s Brian Fletcher dodges away from being hit. Those were the only two earned runs the Pioneers allowed all game, as five errors doomed Southbridge. “The story of our season was we kept giving teams more than three outs an inning,” said Stien. “Against good teams like that you can’t do that stuff.” Southbridge nearly got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the second, which very well could have changed the complexion of the game. Santos singled and Josh Rivera reached on a fielder’s choice that turned into an error before Anthony Santos (unrelated) singled with two outs to load the bases. Leadoff hitter Brendan Casaletta then struck out looking on a pitch that may have grazed that outside corner of the plate to end the threat. “One big hit, who knows,” Stien said of what could have been. “I had my leadoff hitter [up to bat], probably our best hitter average-wise.” Grafton’s Joe Gemelli took off after that frame and finished with a complete game three-hitter, fresh with 14 strikeouts and three walks. “He pounded the strike zone,” Stien said of Gemelli. “He was right around the plate and my kids just didn’t do enough today.” The Indians did more than enough from that point forward, as they scored three unearned runs in the third, fifth and seventh frames. For Southbridge, Tyler Stoever got the start and pitched the first 5-1/3 innings before Anthony Santos came in from right field to toss the final 1-2/3 innings of the Pioneers’ season.

Division 1 district postseason tournament. The Rams then rattled off four straight victories to get to 9-10, which set the stage for their finale at Tantasqua Regional on Friday, May 27. The Warriors were also 9-10 but had ensured themselves a spot in the same Central Mass. D1 tournament thanks to their second place finish in the six-team Southern Worcester County League West Division. Any division that includes five or more teams gets two automatic playoff spots. In the end, Tantasqua ended Shepherd Hill’s season with a 9-6 victory, as they improved to 10-10 and the Rams finished 9-11. “If you make the plays, you hit and you pitch, you can be competitive,” said Warrior head coach Mark Muska. Tantasqua committed one error and had strong defense from center fielder Jordan Choquette and right fielder Anthony Pupillo, they smacked 10 hits and built a 5-0 lead, and Sam Knox fired a complete game on the mound. The Hill, meanwhile, committed four errors and never got going until the top of the seventh inning when it proved to be too little, too late. “I think the better team won today,” said Shepherd Hill head coach Bear Dunn. “We didn’t bring our ‘A’ game, no doubt about it.” The Warriors took a 4-0 lead after an inning when Frank Tremblay cleared the bases — which were full — with a double into the right-center field gap. Then, with the bags full again, Griffin Brooks hit into a fielder’s choice, which scored another. Jordan Choquette then opened the bottom of the second with a solo homer down the left field line to make it 5-0. “It was a great pitch right down the middle,” said Choquette (2 for 3) of his first high school home run. “I did not expect it to go that far. I was like, ‘No way, this actually happened.’” The Choquette homer signaled the end of the day for Shepherd Hill starter Nate Healy. Dunn was quick to mention that Healy has been good for the Rams, noting an appearance where he took a perfect game versus Marlborough into the sixth inning. The Rams finally solved Knox’s pitching with a three-run top of the third when Nick Ostrowski (3 for 4) plated two with an RBI double and Ryan Sanderson added an RBI single. But Tantasqua got those three runs back in the home half of the third to extend the lead back to five, at 8-3. Brooks ripped an RBI triple to center field and Pupillo (2 for 4) hit an RBI single before Nick Pechie added an RBI single. Both pitchers — Knox and Shepherd Hill’s Dario Tarquinio — then settled in, delivering scoreless fourth and fifth innings — until the Warriors got another run in the sixth off a wild pitch to make it 9-3. Down to their final three outs, the Rams then played with some resilience. They scored three runs when Dan Weinhardt crossed home on a wild pitch, Sebastian Gruszecki launched an RBI single and Ostrowski hit an RBI double, but, with the tying run on deck, Knox finished things off by striking out Kyle Radziewicz. “We really wanted to win this game,” said Choquette. “We were on a little bit of a losing streak. We really wanted to snap back.” Muska said that the victory gave his team “a lot of confidence.” He added, “Let’s go see who’s Corn Flakes we can sour,” in regard to the upcoming district tournament. For Shepherd Hill, although they didn’t reach the official postseason, it felt like a playoff atmosphere when their backs were against the wall. “That was our fifth playoff game because it was win or go home,” said Dunn. Dunn also credited the work of Gruszecki, Ostrowski and Mike Gauvin for nearly willing The Hill to the postseason. “That’s a testament to the work ethic of our senior leadership,” he said. Dunn hopes that the sophomores and juniors learned enough from the seniors to get to the playoffs in 2017. “We need to learn to be mentally focused at all times. That’s part of the maturation process of playing baseball,” he concluded. Nick Ethier photos Shepherd Hill’s Josh Welch corrals a pop fly near third base for an out.

Thursday, June 2, 2016 B5 • Blanchard’s two blasts help Tantasqua softball down Rams BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER Shepherd Hill center fielder Molly Hennessey track down a fly ball. STURBRIDGE — Tantasqua Regional varsity softball head coach Phil Desroches has always said that his team can hit, and that aspect of their game was on full display when the Warriors defeated Shepherd Hill Regional, 13-1, in five mercy-rule shortened innings last Wednesday, May 25. “I think this team can hit with just about anybody,” he said. Leading the charge offensively for Tantasqua was Emily Blanchard, who finished the game with the Rams 3 for 4 with a pair of homers and 6 RBI. “Her last plate appearance at Leicester was a grand slam, and her first two up were home runs today,” said Desroches. “She’s on fire right now and that’s awesome.” “Districts are coming up so I wanted to help my team out,” added Blanchard, who also hit a pair of walk-off homers last season. Marie Stewart of Tantasqua prepares to get defensive ready from her second base position. The districts Blanchard mentioned is the Central Mass. Division 1 postseason tournament, where the Warriors will enter with a record of 13-7 after completing their regular season schedule. “I’m hoping we can get a home game, it depends where we fall in,” Desroches said. Shepherd Hill will also play in the Central Mass. Division 1 district tournament, having won game No. 10 earlier in the week. Their record stood at 10-9 after losing to Tantasqua with one regular season tilt to play. That is a much better record than their 4-16 mark from a season ago. “That was definitely the first goal for our season was to qualify for districts, we accomplished that,” said Ram head coach Donny Loos. “I couldn’t be prouder.” Loos didn’t expect such a lopsided loss to the Warriors, though. “I didn’t recognize the team that showed up,” he said. “Tantasqua came out and kicked our butts. You have to give them credit, they hit the ball up and down the lineup.” Aside from Blanchard, Kendra Salviuolo batted 2 for 3 with a pair of RBI, including a solo homer. “Once somebody hits one then we all start feeling it,” Blanchard said of the contagious offense, and Desroches added that seven Warriors have gone yard this season. Sarah Harlinski, Tantasqua’s No. 9 batter, hasn’t hit a homer, but versus Shepherd Hill she finished 3 for 3 with an RBI. “Sarah has hit some of the hardest outs this year out of any girl that I’ve seen,” Desroches said of his potential leadoff hitter next year, as current No. 1 batter Hayley Worthington is the team’s lone senior. Shepherd Hill actually scored the first run in this one, with Molly Hennessey belting an RBI single that scored Dani Donnelly in the top of the first inning. But Tantasqua pitcher Abby LaFountain settled in, pitching all five innings and allowing the single run on two hits with a strikeout, one walk and a hit batter. Blanchard put her team Photos courtesy Ryan Brooks Cayley Fagan of Shepherd Hill got the start in the circle versus Tantasqua. ahead in the bottom of the second with a two-run homer down the left field line. Then, in the third, Blanchard blasted a three-run homer to left-center. The Warriors scored four more times in the third (Harlinski RBI single, two runs scoring on an error, Worthington scoring on a passed ball) to put the game away, 9-1. “I’m not shocked that we won, I’m just shocked we won like we did,” Desroches said. Salviuolo’s shot in the fourth made it 10-1, and Tantasqua stretched three more across in the fifth to end things. LaFountain hit an RBI double, Blanchard an RBI sin- gle and Salviuolo an RBI sacrifice fly. “We have a lot of work left to do,” said Loos. “We’re going to try to flush this one and maybe go bury a game ball behind home plate tomorrow and then move on.” Loos knows that his team can compete with any of the strong teams in the Division 1 tournament, which he hopes to see when the postseason commences. “When we play as well as we’re capable of, there’s certainly not a team that this team’s afraid to go match up with,” he concluded.

BY GREG BARLOW SPORTS CORRESPONDENT OXFORD — Senior Night at Greenbriar Park was a treat for the Oxford High varsity baseball team on Wednesday evening, May 25, as the Pirates jumped to 17-4 following a 5-0 victory over previously unbeaten Bay Path Regional. Oxford catcher Zakk Renihan led his team at the plate with a 2 for 3 performance, including a two-run homer and a single. “We’re doing pretty good,” said Renihan. “We do what we can to get these ‘W’s’. He gave me pitches I could drive, and I did what I could with it. There’s a lot of seniors on this team, and we’ve being playing together for over a decade. We’re just a bunch a brothers out here. We’ve been in the district finals for four straight years, so we’re trying to make it five.” The Pirates, who will soon compete in the Central Mass. Division 4 district tournament, will look for their fifth straight appearance in a final. “There’s eight seniors who have been playing baseball together for probably 15 years, so that helps a lot,” said Oxford head coach Justin Richards. “It was Senior Night and their last home game here. The whole atmosphere was perfect. We have a great team of good athletes, and we’ll give the playoffs the best shot we can.” With its first loss this season, Bay Path is 18-1 overall as the Minutemen look to compete in the State Vocational Tournament as well as the Central Mass. Division 3 district tournament. “We knew we were in for a battle today, and they played better than we did and deserved to win,” said Bay Path head coach Mark Sansoucy. “We’re hoping we get a good draw in the districts and possibly get a bye since it’s such a quick turnaround between the two tournaments.” Pitching a full game to earn the win for the Pirates was left-hander Dave Meech, while righty Tucker Hetherman pitched a full seven innings for the Minutemen. Both starters recorded 11 strikeouts each. “I’m looking forward to entering the State Vocational Tournament and district tournament and putting our best effort forward,” said Hetherman. “Hopefully we can win it. We have to play like we’ve played all year, and it’s going to take a great team to beat us. Oxford played great today and capitalized on our mistakes. They played well and earned it.” Both teams notched only three hits, Bay Path’s Ryan Fahey squeezes the glove to catch a throw to first base. as the game proved to be a strong defensive battle resulting in quick innings. Oxford jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first. After center fielder Austin Greene got on base with an error at second, Renihan cranked a two-run homer over the right field fence. Hetherman retired the next two batters to end the inning. Following a series of brief at-bats for both teams, Oxford extended its lead to 3-0 in the bottom of the fourth inning. With a runner on third and two outs, third baseman Jared Buckley beat a throw to first base to earn the RBI on an infield grounder. The action picked up in the top of the fifth when the Minutemen got their bats clicking. Shortstop Brandon Aviles smashed a shot to the center field fence. However, bare-handing the ball from the warning track, Greene fired a throw to second base on a hop for the tag-out play to prevent the double. Up next, Nick Jose singled to right field, but Meech struck out two more batters to end the inning with a clean sheet. The Pirates responded with their final two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Second baseman Cam Cardoni started the rally with an infield single, diving head first to beat the throw and secure a hit. Hetherman then walked the next three consecutive batters to give Oxford a run. With the bases still juiced, shortstop Bryce St. Germain gave Oxford a 5-0 advantage with a sacrifice grounder on a fielder’s choice play in the infield. Bay Path had two more at-bats to get on the board. After Hetherman struck out the side in the bottom of the sixth, the Minutemen got a runner on base in the top of the seventh. However, Meech posted a strikeout before a flyout to left field ended the game, as Oxford secured the 5-0 win. Greg Barlow photos Bay Path’s Jeremy Rabidou makes a play on a bunt at third base.

CAPPOLI SPORTS CORRESPONDENT OXFORD — When it comes to the postseason, the biggest key to success is experience — experience in knowing how to handle the pressure of carrying a team to a championship win, especially from the seniors. For the Bay Path Regional varsity softball team, the Colonial Athletic League Small School champion, head coach John Howard knows the seniors’ leadership and experience is vital because they understand the dedication and drive that is required. “There is no lackadaisical thing like that — there’s no taking it easy,” said Howard. “This is serious because it’s one game and you’re done. That’s it. The seniors understand that. They want to make sure they go out and try to play their absolute best and get their teammates to play their absolute best so they can keep playing.” But, backed by a dominant 11-strikeout and two-hit performance on the hill from sophomore Candice Nelson, the Oxford High varsity softball team connected for seven hits, including a combined three singles from seniors Nicole Grady and Sarah Keohane, to nab a 7-1 nonconference triumph over the Minutemen (12-8) on Wednesday, May 25. Oxford (6-13) jumped all over sopho- more Aliya Guillote through the first two frames and tagged her with four runs on four hits. The Pirates grabbed the quick 1-0 lead when Grady came around to score on a defensive miscue by the shortstop in the first. A triple from junior Kayla Soto and single from Grady helped knock in three more runs for Oxford to take a 4-0 lead in the home half of the second. Errors became more of a nightmare for the Minutemen in the third. Keohane safely reached first as the left fielder misplayed a fly ball and later reached third thanks to a miscue on Amanda Fradsham’s grounder to third. With runners on second and third with two outs, Soto made the errors hurt when she launched a twoRBI single into left-center to put the Pirates up, 6-0. Even though Oxford built that lead with three innings in the books, the Pirates were not done. Keohane brought in the seventh run in the fourth on a fielder’s choice to the shortstop that allowed Nelson to cross home. Bay Path finally got its first run on the board thanks to an RBI single into right by freshman Patty King to put the score at 7-1 after four. Unfortunately for the Minutemen, that was the only run they could plate for the remainder of the game. Much like the first half of the contest, Nelson continued to silence Bay Path’s bats through the final two innings. With the help of stellar defense by her teammates and two punch-outs, Nelson retired the side in the top half of the seventh to lift the Pirates to the 7-1 victory. The Minutemen concluded its regular season with the loss and Howard now knows what his team needs to do to improve before they begin the Central Mass. Division 3 district postseason tournament — hitting. “Fast pitching is always difficult to get hits off of and you also have to understand the umpire’s strike zone,” explained Howard. “Sometimes you may not agree with the umpire, but anything close you have to make sure you’re taking a swing.” Despite Oxford not qualifying for the playoffs (Central Mass. Division 2 district tournament) this season, it does not mean the seniors’ positivity and leadership will go unnoticed. Pirate head coach Jamie Hetherman explained that despite having a slow start to the season this year, it was the seniors who kept the team’s morale high. “You know, they’ve set good examples,” he said. “Even with a down season like we’re having, they’re very positive. With games where we get Olivia J. Cappoli photos Bay Path’s Sam Partridge prepares to take a jump off first base after the release of a pitch. blown out, they’re trying and they’re dedicated to helping the young girls and I’m very, very proud of them.” Thursday, June 2, 2016 7 • Home and AUTO headquarters Improving the world around you Building & Remodeling Building Supplies Morse Lumber Co., Inc.

The ACCF is a premier national medical society representing 49,000 physicians and other cardiovascular health care providers and dedicated to improving heart health and the quality of cardiovascular care worldwide. The ACCF’s NCDR is a group of ten registries of clinical data submitted by health care providers around the country about their patients that is used to measure, benchmark, and improve the quality of cardiovascular care for all. We use the information and analysis we get from NCDR to ensure that all of our cardiovascular patients receive high quality care. In many cases, state health care regulations or rules set by Medicare or other health insurance payers actually require us to submit data to NCDR. More information about the ACCF and NCDR can be found at: http://www.acc.org/about-acc http://cvquality.acc.org/NCDR-Home. aspx On December 10, 2015, representatives of the ACCF discovered that a data table containing the names, Social Security Numbers, and dates of birth of 133 SEMC patients—along with thousands of other patients of other hospitals and health care providers around the country—had mistakenly been copied into software testing and development databases within the ACCF’s software environment. Those databases were supposed to contain only fictional patient data (e.g. “Jane Doe,” etc.)—not any data about real patients. During the time between when the table was mistakenly copied (2009 or 2010) and when the mistake was first discovered (December 10, 2015), the ACCF has determined that five software and data analytics vendors hired by the ACCF to help it improve its registries had access to the testing and development databases. According to the ACCF’s investigation and discussions with those five vendors, only two of the vendors actually accessed the table containing real patient information. One of those two vendors temporarily copied that table from ACCF’s server onto the vendor’s own computers on December 3, 2015, in order to complete a project for ACCF. The vendors have confirmed to ACCF that none of their employees used or further shared the information contained in the table, and the one vendor whose employees copied the table has confirmed that all copies have since been deleted. The ACCF reports that all five of the vendors have signed contracts with the ACCF requiring the vendors to keep all ACCF information confidential and prohibiting the vendors and their employees from sharing such information with others. Importantly, there is no indication that any patient’s information has been viewed by any unauthorized person beyond a small number of employees at one or more of those five vendors. There is no indication that any of those individuals has misused any patient’s information in any way that might cause harm. STEPS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN, AND ARE BEING TAKEN, FOLLOWING THIS INCIDENT The ACCF has taken several steps to investigate and to reduce the risk that any similar incident ever occurs in the future. Among other things, the ACCF has made sure that all data about real patients—including the table discussed above—has been deleted from its software testing and development databases. The ACCF also has obtained signed statements from its software and data analytics vendors confirming that the only known copy of the table outside of ACCF’s own servers has been deleted. Those signed statements also confirm that no one at any of the vendors misused or further spread the information from the table. The ACCF and SEMC are both further revising our vendor contracts to ensure even more safeguards are applied to confidential patient data going forward. STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO ENSURE THAT YOUR DATA IS NOT MISUSED As previously indicated SEMC has no reason to believe that any person has misused, or will misuse, this patient data in a way that might be harmful. That said, there are steps any impacted patients can take if they are concerned that their data might be mis- LEGALS used—including requesting a security freeze or fraud alert on any bank and/ or payment card accounts that they may maintain, and monitoring their credit. More information about these steps is available at: https://www.identitytheft.gov/Info-Lostor-Stolen http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/data-privacy-and-security/identity-theft/surviving-identity-theft.html In addition to our apology that this unfortunate incident occurred at the ACCF, SEMC is offering all impacted patients one year of credit monitoring from Experian at no cost. If you or a family member received cardiovascular care at SEMC in or before 2010 and want to put such monitoring in place, please call us at 877.302.4378 at your earliest convenience. We will help you determine whether your, or your family member’s, data was involved and, if so, help you get credit monitoring activated if you choose to use it. SEMC and Steward Health Care System have the utmost concern for our patients’ privacy and takes measures to ensure that those with whom we share confidential information maintain appropriate, responsible safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to that information. Once again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that this incident at ACCF may have caused any of our patients or their families. We and the ACCF take the confidentiality of your information very seriously and will continue to work to ensure that a similar incident does not occur in the future. If you have further questions or concerns, please contact Steward Health Care System’s Office of Corporate Compliance & Privacy toll-free at 877.302.4378.
