fairway bunkering and challenging par 3’s.
Chris Hulme, Whitinsville Golf Club’s longtime head golf professional, is moving on to
Sterling National this spring but in preparing
for his new position he said “Whitinsville has
been great to me and my family.”
Elsewhere on the floor Fern Nissim was attracting the curious with a handout for www.

There were the pitchmen, peddling everything
from memberships at the
Donald Ross-designed
Whitinsville Golf Club
(one of the top nine-hole
courses in the country,
Rod Lee
and largely unchanged
from its original 1925 layout) to lakefront living.
“We are looking to add thirty new full-time
members,” Sal D’Amato, president of Whitinsville Golf Club, said at Booth 23. “Nowadays
there is a lot of competition out there. We had
a good year in 2013 and are in better shape
going into this year. The Donald Ross Lounge
has been redone, we have added outdoor
seating, we have entered into an advertising
partnership with CVS and 98.5 (FM).”
Mr. D’Amato was talking up “2014 Expo
Membership Specials:” family; corporate; full
single; and weekday only—on a course famed
for its smallish, mounded greens with treacherous sloping, unobstructed run-up areas to
Sal D’Amato and Chris Hulme from Whitinsville Golf Club
products and services (more than one hundred
exhibitors were in attendance) was evident
in the comments offered by Ed Mansfield of
Husbands for Hire.
“We do a little bit of everything,” Mr.
Mansfield said. “Painting, tiling, fixing cabinet
doors, installing storm doors, carpentry,
deck cleaning (also deck repair and staining),
furniture moving. The Expo is excellent. We
have been here since the first year and we get
so much work from the event. We always have
the same booth space. We see old clients and
meet new clients. Our business never really
slows down. Our client base is over eight
hundred.”
Also present were Michelle
Fontaine and Nancy Dube of
Communicate Full Circle: “Your
Cure to Social Media Overwhelm.” Their CFC social-media
marketing course has drawn
raves of the sort pronounced
by Carole Donovan of Image
Boosters who has said “this
course made me aware and not
afraid to utilize the vast world
that is at my fingertips.”
Laurie Church had particular
reason to be at the Expo touting
Wallis Cove’s guest-house rentals on pristine 216-acre Whitin
Reservoir: 2014 is Wallis Cove’s
50th-anniversary year.
Blackstone Valley Chamber of
Commerce President Jeannie
Hebert termed the Expo “our
biggest and best ever with
lots of new people and (it was)
pretty diverse. It was the second
year for our Healthy Lifestyles
Pavilion and the first for our Visit
Worcester Pavilion to let people
know Worcester is right next
door. We’re unique in that we
are a home AND business expo.
That’s what it’s all about. We’ve

The final tasting for me was Bushel ‘N Peck’s lobster corn
chowder, and fortunately there was some left, not much
though. Michael Ashley, chef and manager of two of three
Bushel ‘N Peck locations, including the one in Grafton, said
he makes the stock from lobster bodies, and completes the
chowder with bacon, fresh lobster pieces, potato, celery,
onions and cream. Bushel ‘N Peck was last year’s Judged
Winner and it was this year as well.

By Barbara Van Reed
WHITINSVILLE - Without question, the
chowders prepared for the Chowder Cook-Off
at the BVCC Home & Business Expo on March
1 were awesome. There were four contestants
this year, and I couldn’t choose between them.
Others did, though.
Tom Greene, chef at the Lydia Taft House
in Uxbridge made a traditional clam chowder
that he serves at the home every two weeks.
It’s a simple recipe, he said, with handcut and
rendered bacon, half and half, red bliss potatoes, and a little butter. He cooks down celery
and onions, adds some flour for thickening,
and spices with some fresh thyme at the end. I
thought it was done just right.
Lisa Montgomery and Chrystal Furno, on the
staff at St. Camillus Health Center in Whitinsville, served a delicious cream-based chowder
replete with lobster, shrimp, fresh crab, and
scallops. Lisa made it and said it’s served regularly at the nursing home. “We actually served
it last night – but not this batch,” she quickly
added with a smile. The new batch won the
People’s Choice award this year.
When I arrived at Red Rock Grill & Bar
of Upton’s table, (last year’s People’s Choice
winner) the serving dish was empty and Eryl
Williams was ready to clean up. “We’re all out,
we had five gallons for five hundred people.”
When I told him I was doing a chowder
story he thought he might be able to scrape
some from the bottom of the barrel, and he
did, literally. So I got to try it after all. “It’s a
traditional chowder,” he said, “but jazzed up a

A teddy bear to hug, filled with memories

particular loves to come over and stuff bears.
Her daughters sometimes help sew the bears.
Donna has made more than 4,500 bears
over the years, and each is accompanied
by one of four poems she has written. She
keeps meticulous records
of everything she does. So
when a customer called,
frantic because the card
with the poem had gotten
lost, Donna checked her
records, and sure enough,
she was able to retrieve the
correct poem.
One touching story is the
way Donna made a teddy
bear out of a grandmother’s
wedding dress, as a gift
to the granddaughter on
her 16th birthday. Another very poignant
story is about a bear she made for a girl who
loved her dog. Donna used the dog’s bed
as material for the teddy bear. The girl loved
it. Tragically, this young lady died of a brain
aneurism in her early twenties. Her teddy bear
accompanied her to her grave.
Donna has met amazing people through her
work. Jack Keaney,
who had lost his
wife Carol, gave
Carol’s clothes
to Donna, and
requested twelve
bears. Donna
made a beautiful selection of
teddies. Jack was
so happy, that in
gratitude he had

want something special. They have left-over
fabric from very important occasions or events
that they want to re-purpose into memorable
gifts. Some of the fabrics she has worked
with have come from baby blankets, wedding
dresses, army uniforms, and
other important textiles.
Donna, who lives in Whitinsville, has been sewing since
her parents gave her a sewing
machine for Christmas when
she was twelve. When her son
was born fourteen years ago,
she wanted to stay home with
him but needed an extra source
of income. For several months
she worked with a friend who
had a teddy bear business. Her
friend wanted to go on to other
adventures, so she graciously gave Donna the
business, which Donna has been doing on her
own now for twelve years. The first teddy bear
she made was for a friend. It was made out of
his army uniform for his newborn son.
It has turned out to be a family enterprise,
as her mother and father, as well as her
husband and son, all help out. Her dad in

The Hugging Bear comes in two sizes: Large
at 18 inches tall and small at 15 inches tall.
Both have moveable arms and legs and come
with a laminated heart-shaped card inscribed
with the customer’s choice of one of four
poems. The best clothes to use, according
to Donna’s brochure, are button-down shirts,
sweat shirts or bathrobes, flannel shirts or
nightgowns, fleece shirts and T-shirts. One
adult size shirt makes one large bear. One
long robe makes about three or four bears.
Donna, a true entrepreneur, has sent bears
into forty-six states and three foreign countries. She hopes by the end of the year to add
the last four of the United States to her list.
Who knows, she may even invite you to come
see her business and her bears up close and
personal at 76 Suzanne Drive, Whitinsville. Or
call her at 508-234-5847.
Editor’s note: a staff member at the Yankee
Shopper was surprised and delighted at
Christmas time when her daughters-in-law
presented her with a bear created with fabric
from her dad’s clothing and neckties. He
passed away in September and the bear has
special meaning and will be cherished forever.

NORTHBRIDGE - This winter, the elementary
students at Whitinsville Christian School were
challenged to collect 800 food items to help
support the Northbridge Food Pantry. Each
day for two weeks, the students brought in
cans and boxes of food, while the 5th graders
checked the expiration dates and gathered
data. In math class, the 5th grade students
used this data to review mean, median, mode,
range, and box and whisker plots. They then
graphed the data daily, so each
class would know how close they
were to meeting their goal. At the
end of the two weeks, each class
had more than exceeded its goal.
The 5A class loaded up 1004 items
of food and delivered them to the
Northbridge Food Pantry. While
they were there, two volunteers
at the food pantry explained how
the food pantry operates and how
many people it serves. Then the
students got busy stocking the
shelves. The shelves were quite full
when they left, and the students

Observer Course, Basic Search and Rescue.
The course descriptions conjure up visions of
combat and could sound ominous to a civilian
– and that’s OK, says Ron Tetreau, founder of
Assymetric Training and Assessment Group.
For Tetreau, guns are serious business, and
he firmly believes that training is as important
for civilians as it is for professionals.
Sergeant First Class Tetreau’s military
career began in1983 with a four-year stint in
the Air Force and continued with the Army
Reserves, in which he still serves. His overseas deployments include three tours in Iran,
one in Afghanistan and one in Kosovo. He
trained with the Assymetric Warfare Group, a
US Army Special Missions unit.
In 2009 he founded Assymetric Training and
Assessment Group (ATAG) in Douglas with
a mission to provide training for both law
enforcement agencies and civilians in central
Massachusetts and surrounding communities.
He explained that assymetry is part of the
company’s name to stress the evolving training techniques needed to address constantly
changing security threats.
An example of a law enforcement course
is the Active Shooter refresher class, which
ATAG has conducted for the Northbridge
and Burrillville police departments. Another is
a program for weapons of mass destruction
team members, supporting Department of
Homeland Security personnel.
The frequency of mass shootings in the
news has made administrators of schools,
hospitals, and public buildings, as well as
commercial businesses, more aware of the
need for physical security assessments.
“Most buildings have vulnerable areas,” said
Tetreau, and we can advise and make recommendations for improving site security.” The
Town of Sutton was a recent client and has
implemented some of the ATAG recommendations, he said.
Civilians have also become much more cog-
BUSINESS
PROFILE
nizant of the need to be appropriately trained
for self defense and home defense purposes.
It’s more than just taking the required
license-to-carry course, he said. Tetreau
doesn’t mince words. He describes people
who buy a firearm and then don’t train on it
as irresponsible. “It’s like any other tool that
you have in your home: you have to learn how
to use it. It’s important not to underestimate
the importance of using a firearm properly.
It’s a safety issue.”
And there’s more to it than just shooting,
he adds. “You have to know how to stand
and how to move.”
In addition to basic license-to-carry classes,
ATAG teaches more advanced “tactical to
practical” courses for pistols, scoped rifles,
and shotguns, targeting them specifically for
homeowners, competitive shooters, or hunters. Most training courses are day-long and
held at the Beagle Club in Douglas. Private
gun clubs can retain ATAG to do training at
their site as well.
Other areas of training offered are search
and rescue, basic land navigation, and wilderness survival.
ATAG instructors include ex-military, active,
and retired police personnel who hold local,
federal, national, and military certifications in
their areas of expertise.
For more information on classes and schedules contact Tetreau at
info@assymetrictraining.com. Or call him at
774-230-1538 or 910-816-8414. The website

Uxbridge 4th of July Fireworks - Bring Back the BOOM!
Sponsors and Donations
needed for 2014 Celebration
UXBRIDGE - When we think of the 4th of July, most often we have memories and traditions surrounded by food, family, and fireworks. It has been several years since our community has enjoyed gathering for an annual fireworks display. This year, however, a group of
individuals have come together as the Uxbridge 4th of July Celebration Committee to bring
back this annual tradition and to make new memories.
Their ambitious goal is to hold a fireworks
display, tentatively scheduled for Friday, June
27, 2014 to kick off the holiday week. To
accomplish this and to fund other events for
the celebration, the Committee has set a
fundraising goal of $50,000. To commit to
having the fireworks portion of the celebration this year, we must reach this goal by
April 30. In the event that the goal is not
reached by April 30th, fundraising will continue year round with the fireworks display
beginning in 2015.
In order to reach this goal for 2014, your
support is needed. Donations can be made
by mail to: Uxbridge 4th of July Celebration, c/o Amie Briggs, Treasurer, 502 W. Hartford
Ave., Uxbridge, MA 01569. Please make checks payable to: Uxbridge 4th of July Celebration. On-line donations may be made at the website www.uxy4thofjuly.com. Donations for
raffles, fundraisers, goods and services are welcome.
Corporate/Business Sponsorships are available. Show your support to the community that
helps to support your business and consider becoming an annual sponsor.
There are volunteer positions open on the Committee and Sub-Committees where you
can donate your time and help to make this celebration a reality.

Pedal Cars
Q: I began searching for older pedal cars
about 10 years ago, and so far have managed
to find three that I purchased. I had a pedal
car as a child and am wondering if you can
suggest a collector I can contact, since I have
some restoration work I need done? -- Sam,
Broken Arrow, Okla.
A: Ron Hughes is owner of Soda Pops in
Miami, Ariz., a shop that specializes in gas
pumps, signage and jukeboxes. He has more
than 50 pedal cars in his inventory, and he can
help you. His addresses are 505 Sullivan St.,
Miami, AZ 85539; and oldrestorer77@hotmail.

Q: I have several dozen Hummel figurines,
and I need you to recommend a good price
guide that you trust. -- Betty, Pueblo, Colo.
A: There are at least a dozen price guides.
Some good, some not so good. One of the
better ones, I think, is “The Official M.J.
Hummel Price Guide: Figurines & Plates” by
Heidi Ann Von Recklinghausen. Published by
Krause Books and in its second edition, this
guide is comprehensive and reflects current
values. With more than 2,000 images in full
School to welcome
Spiritual speaker
NORTHBRIDGE - Whitinsville Christian
School is very excited to welcome Curt Cloninger as its Spiritual Emphasis speaker this
year! He will be performing on Friday, March
28, at 7:30 pm. Please come and enjoy an awe
inspiring performance of “God Views.”
From Curt’s website: “We live in a world
saturated with entertainment. But there is a
great need for quality entertainment which
also presents lasting truth. The work of Curt
Cloninger does just that. Curt is a follower of
Jesus, and a professional actor and writer. He
uses his comic and dramatic skills to present
story which moves an audience to see and feel
God’s startling good news in fresh and creative ways. His performances have an intimate
quality which pulls audiences into the story.
Curt commonly hears from people who
tell him that his characters and stories are
still impacting their lives, years after seeing a
performance.

Q: I have a “Bozo Under the Sea” record set,
which I received for my birthday during the
early 1950s. What do you think it is worth? -Charlie, Homestead, Fla.
A: I have seen the 78-rpm set sell in the $14
to $25 range, depending on the dealer and
the condition of the recordings. “Bozo at the
Circus,” even more popular, sells for about the
same.
1950s Lunchbox
Q: When I was in grade school during the
1950s, I carried my lunch in an Annie Oakley
and Tag lunchbox. I still have it and the original thermos. I read in your column recently
that older lunchboxes have become quite valuable. Is mine? -- Ken, Ramona, Calif.
A: According to the 19th edition of “Toys &
Prices” by Mark Bellomo and published by
Krause Books, your lunchbox and thermos
were issued in 1955 by Aladdin. The box is
valued at $695, the bottle $150.

CVS Quits Smoking - Should You?
by Jason Poquette, BPharm, R.Ph
In a virtually unprecedented move among
the largest retail pharmacy chains in our
country, CVS pharmacy recently announced
it would discontinue the sale of tobacco
products by the end of this
year. The move is predicted to take upwards of
2 billion dollars of revenue
out of their stores. Though
that is less than 2% of their
total operating budget,
a couple billion dollars is
a pretty significant figure
none the less.
The move has sparked
a flurry of questions and
debates about the motives behind this decision,
some of which I admit to
asking myself. Why now?
Why wait until October to
discontinue the sales? And
why do we think this will
translate into a healthier
society and not just into
wealthier convenience stores and competitors? I don’t have the answers to these questions, but I think they are all worth pondering.
But the move does provide the opportunity
for me as a healthcare professional to address
the public with a possibly far more important
question: Will this change your mind about
smoking? If a company is willing to forfeit
2 billion dollars in revenue because of the
inescapable connection between smoking and
death, are you willing to consider giving it up
as well? Quitting cost CVS 2
billion dollars. What could
quitting save you? I think we
need to think this through.
According to some statistics, nearly 3200 children
under the age of 18 try
smoking for the first time
every day. Many go on to
become lifetime smokers,
joining the nearly 42 million
adults in the U.S. who smoke
regularly. The CDC says that
smoking is the leading cause
of preventable death in
the country, responsible for
nearly one-half million deaths
per year. Smoking tobacco
is linked to 80% of lung cancers, and greatly increases
the risk for many other
cancers such cancers of the throat, mouth,
stomach, kidney and pancreas. Smokers
are also far more likely to die of heart attack
and chronic lung diseases also. Secondhand
smoke kills too.
Thankfully those who decide they want to
quit have an array of resources available to
help them. As a pharmacist I highly recommend looking at the available nicotine replacement products such as patches, lozenges
and gum. Additionally, you can talk to your
physician about prescription medications
approved to reduce cravings for nicotine such
a bupropion (Zyban) or varenicline (Chantix).
None of these options are right for everyone,
and the decision will still be difficult for many.
Having sufficient social support and counseling resources has also been shown to improve
the success of almost any program. Finally,
there are online resources just a click away
sponsored by the Massachusetts Tobacco
Cessation and Prevention Program at www.
makesmokinghistory.org. You don’t have to
do it alone. And to make the choice a bit
easier, many health plans offer substantial help
by covering most or all of the cost of the nicotine replacement or oral prescription drugs.
Another “quitting” resource receiving
significant attention these days are electronic
cigarettes. The use of these products, which
is called “vaping,” has dubious benefits
at best. In fact the sale and production of
electronic cigarettes may actually be leading
more people to try smoking, rather than quit.
The evidence is still pretty shaky, and more
studies are needed. My personal advice for
those who really want to quit is to utilize more
proven strategies such as those mentioned
above.
So CVS is quitting smoking. Maybe other
retailers will follow suit. But the more important question to me is this: Will you?

Behind the Business:
Sam Goldman of
Bikram Yoga Auburn
By Sheryl Corriveau
Health is my passion, which is why this
month’s interview really hit home for me and
hopefully for a lot of you who will be reading
this. It was my pleasure to interview Sutton
resident, owner, and teacher of two Bikram
yoga studios, Sam Goldman. Sam started his
own Bikram yoga practice more than 10 years
ago with teacher and mentor Diane Ducharme
from Bikram Yoga for You, which is located in
Dedham.
He noticed wonderful effects from practicing Bikram, such as losing 67 lbs and 8 inches
around his waist, improved sleep, digestion,
and emotional and psychological health.
Eventually Sam became a teacher himself.
Inspired to pass along Bikram yoga and its
benefits, Sam bought Bikram Yoga Auburn
Make a Roaring
Difference by Joining
the Lions
UXBRIDGE - The Uxbridge Lions Club
is seeking new members to get the twenty
needed to secure its own charter. Currently,
the original eight Uxbridge
Lions are functioning under
the sponsorship of the very
active Grafton Lions Club.
Even without a full complement of members the existing club is doing what it can
to reach out and serve the
community.
Over the past year the Uxbridge Lions have
held some fundraisers such as its shredding
events in June and November and its participation in First Night. Some members of the
community have benefited from the services
provided by Lions International and the local
Lions such as a scholarship awarded to an
Uxbridge High School Class of 2013 member
for community service, donations to needy
families who were victims of fire and those
needing guidance and/or aid regarding sight
and hearing. Donations were also made to
the food bank, Uxbridge Senior Center, and
planting on the Green.
The Uxbridge Lions Club meets on the third
Wednesday of the month at Niko’s on Main
Street in Uxbridge at 7 p.m. For information
contact 508-278-4517 or 508-278-0057 or

from its previous owners in 2006 and opened
Bikram Yoga Westboro in March 2010.
When I asked him the personal reason that
makes him do what he does as a teacher
every day,” Sam answered, “I love helping
people learn how to try the right way. It’s
amazing to me how anyone can do yoga. I
get all shapes of people and size and different
injuries and by learning how to do some of
the pose the right way, they get tremendous
medical benefit. I am working on writing a
book, the working title is ‘yoga is easy for
stiff people,’ and I explain how just doing a
little bit of the pose, or even the set up of the
pose, can lead to greater range of motion,
improved flexibility, less chronic pain, and all
the mental and psychological benefits of the
practice.”
I also asked him what he would like to share
with people interested in trying Bikram and
he added “Anyone can do it. I never would
have tried it if I knew it was hot…I was one
of the people who started sweating at 69
degrees. It took me longer than most people
to get used to the heat…the average person
says after about three classes they get more
used to it (Bikram yoga is done in a heated
room of 105 degrees) and the routine. Go
slow, take it easy, and rest when you need
to…you will see, anyone can do yoga. Feel
free to contact me, I am happy to help you.”
I have personally tried Bikram and can say in
addition to my pilates, it has been wonderful and I already feel its effects with stronger
knees and back. For anyone looking for
more information you can email Sam at info@
bikramyogaauburn.com or info@bikramyogawestboro.com or check out his websites

BOSTON – While many students across
South Central Massachusetts were relaxing during February school vacation last
week, members of Sen. Richard T. Moore’s,
D-Uxbridge, Senate Youth Advisory Council
traveled to the State House to enhance their
civic knowledge. The students participated in
a legislative workshop, and debated legislation affecting youth during a mock session in
the Senate Chamber.
“The Senate Youth Advisory Council’s trip
to the State House was an opportunity for the
students to expand their civic knowledge and
skills,” stated Sen. Moore. “I was pleased with
the enthusiasm, preparedness, and overall engagement of the participants. The opinions of
youth do count, especially when it comes to
initiatives that would affect their age group.”
The students began the day with a session
covering various legislative topics. After a welcome and introduction from Sen. Moore, the
students first heard from Sen. Moore’s District
Director, Timothy Harvey of Blackstone, a
United States Marine Corps veteran who
earned the rank of Captain before transitioning from active to reserve duty, on leadership.
Senate Clerk William Welch of Milford then
provided an overview of state legislative
procedure. Among the various topics that Mr.
Welch covered, students learned about filing
a bill, the committee hearing process, and the
rules of legislative sessions.
Following Mr. Welch, Zachary Tsetsos of
Oxford, Sen. Moore’s Director of Constituent and Community Relations, explained
how legislative offices provide assistance to
constituents and local officials in working with
various state agencies.
Sen. Michael F. Rush, D-West Roxbury, later
engaged the students in a conversation about
policy, politics and the Legislature.
Finally, Sean Riley of Milford, Sen. Moore’s
Deputy General Counsel and Director of External Affairs, provided an overview of public
relations, focusing on building relationships
with the media and social media ethics.
After the workshop, the students transitioned to the Senate Chamber where they engaged in a mock Senate session. The students
debate three bills affecting youth.
The first bill, Senate Bill 852, would prevent
an employer or educational institution from
compelling an employee, student, or applicant to disclose their social media account
information. The students rejected the bill 8-9.
The second bill, House 1743, would set a
youth minimum wage for kids under the age
of 18 at 25 percent less than the minimum
wage for adult workers. The students defeated
the proposal 0-17.
The final bill, H2172, would require the
installation of seat belts on school buses.
The students approved an amendment, 9-8,
to postpone implementation of the bill until
2020, but the bill was ultimately voted down
8-9.
To end the day, Sen. Moore provided Youth
Council Members with historic anecdotes
about Massachusetts, the Legislature, and the
Senate Chamber.
Last year, Sen. Moore established the Senate Youth Advisory Council in an effort to
include the views of his youthful constituents
in the development of state policies and
legislation. Sen. Moore decided on the need
for such a group in order to ensure that youth
in his district have the opportunity to provide
feedback and recommendations regarding
public policies and programs that affect their
future, and to take a leadership role in creating meaningful change. The group meets with
Sen. Moore periodically to discuss legislation
or policy matters before the Legislature.
Sen. Moore is a longtime advocate of
strengthening civic education in schools.
Last session he served as the Chairman of
the statewide Special Commission on Civic
Engagement and Learning.

There’s a world of choices when it comes to orthopedic care.
At Saint Vincent Hospital, we have surgeons who are experts
in joint replacement, spine, foot, and hand problems, as well as
sports injuries. We also provide a less complicated approach
to hip and knee replacement. And we offer pre-surgery visits
to answer any questions and post-surgery rehab services to
help you recover fast. Actually, when it comes to orthopedic care,
there’s really only one choice. For more information,
please call 1-800-201-0574

• My family’s spring-cleaning checklist is in full effect. Some
people dread seasonal chores, but I relish the sense of accomplishment that comes from a job well done. With the right planning, and some helpful tips, spring cleaning can be a breeze.
Here are some of the best we have to share. -- JoAnn
• “Stainless steel appliances are very popular, and in the
kitchen, they get plenty of chances to get fingerprinted up.
My appliance guy recommended using a light-mist, wax-based
aerosol dusting spray once or twice a week to keep my stainless steel appliance fronts looking their best.” -- R.C. in North
Carolina
• “In the closet, we all want to pare away unused items, but
sometimes it seems like you wear
clothes that you don’t. Turn all the
clothes hangers the opposite way
(facing out instead of in). When you
use an item and it is returned to the
closet, replace the hanger normally. In
a few months, if an item has not been
worn, it will be apparent. If it’s not
likely to be worn, it should go.
• Spring is a wonderful time to clean
the walls inside your house. It clears
away hidden dust and really freshens a room. Clean painted walls by
dusting them first with a dry mop,
then washing with a rag dampened in
water. If you need a little extra oomph
-- say, in the kitchen or bath -- add a
couple drops of mild dish soap.
• New drapes or even new pillow
covers in a fabulous pattern can really
jazz up a room. Consider switching
smaller furniture accents between
common rooms or a fresh furniture
arrangement to change it up.
• Keep a bottle of club soda handy
for spot stains on carpets or upholstery. It’s good for more than just
drinks.

CareProvidersVNA acquires Sutton’s Senior Comfort Services
SUTTON – CareProviders Visiting Nurse Agency (CPVNA)
recently expanded its services with the acquisition of Senior
Comfort Services, a long-time provider of home care for the
elderly, based in Sutton.
CPVNA is a relative newcomer to the area, established by
David Rokes, RN, in 2010 as Care Providers of Blackstone
Valley, with offices in Whitinsville. Its name was changed last

year to Care Providers Visiting Nurse Agency to better describe
the types of services the company offers, said Ed Tavarez, CPVNA’s
Director of Marketing. “At a glance people understand what kind of
services a VNA traditionally offers, and we thought that should be
reflected in our name.”
Senior Comfort Services was founded in 2010 by Ron and Elaine
Racine, who have now retired. The company provides non-medical
care such as homemaker services
and assistance with daily activities

such as cooking, shopping, bathing, bill paying, and transportation,
to allow seniors to continue living
at home.
The acquisition gives CPVNA
access to the Senior Comfort Services’ capabilities and talent pool.

It all began back in 1914 when Willis Fuller
began repairing cars in Worcester after
making a living repairing horse-drawn buggies. Before long, he had opened the Fuller
Garage. It wasn’t nearly as large as today’s
business, owned by his great-grandsons, but
it was the start of the Fuller enterprise. In
the 30s he moved the business to Auburn.
A decade later his son Freeman decided to
follow in his father’s footsteps and go into the
mechanic’s business himself. He wanted to
be his own man, though, and started a separate shop, Fuller Automotive. The two stayed
in a friendly, family competition for a time.
In 1963, Freeman’s son Richard followed the
family tradition and took up working for his

special celebration will give the Fuller Brothers
and their staff an even better opportunity to
serve the community, noted Chris.
The new pre-owned auto business is headed
by Dana Stoico, who has over thirty years
in the automotive sales business. It offers a
sizable selection of foreign and domestic cars
and light trucks. And once you’ve purchased
your vehicle from them, Chris reminds us
that you won’t have far to go for any type of
service that vehicle might need. With ASE
Certified mechanics, any repair –from bumper
to bumper- can be performed in their service
garage. You can also just stop in for routine
service as well, like a super-quick “SpeeDee”
oil change. Need new tires? No problem!
The Fullers are authorized dealers for Goodyear, Dunlop and Kelley tires, among others.
And of course, if the worst should happen and
your car is damaged, Fuller’s has its own Auto
Body and Collision Center. It really is a one
stop shop for all of your automotive needs.
Their website www.fullerautomotive.com lists
all of their services, along with an interesting
history of the family business.
If you stop in for your next service or to
register for one of their monthly drawings, be
sure to congratulate Chris and Josh on the
100th anniversary of Fuller Automotive, and
wish them continued success. It isn’t too often
a business is good enough to stay successful
for such a long time. It is a testament to lots
of hard work, dedication and trustworthiness.
Congratulations to Fuller Automotive.
The fifth-generation Fullers are still much
too young to consider the family business.
“We’ll have to see what they do,” said Chris.

Drive with care every day
Being car considerate shouldn’t stop after
the break-in. Drive with care every day and
your car will reward you with longer intervals
without repair.
Do not race your car’s engine during startup.This is a quick way to add years of wear to
your engine, especially if it’s cold outside.
Accelerate slowly when you begin your
drive.The most wear to the engine and drive
train occurs in the first ten to twenty minutes
of operation.
Warming the engine by letting it idle in
the driveway is not a smart idea.The engine
doesn’t operate at its peak temperature,
resulting in incomplete fuel combustion, soot
deposits on cylinder walls, oil contamination,
and ultimately damaged components.
Put less strain on your engine and automatic transmission by shifting to neutral at red
lights. Otherwise, the engine is still working to
push the car even while it’s stopped.

Avoid driving at high speeds and accelerating quickly, especially when it’s very hot or
very cold outside. Such driving behavior will
result in more frequent repairs.
Extend the life of your tires with careful
driving. Observe posted speed limits. Avoid
fast starts, stops, and turns. Avoid potholes
and objects on the road. Don’t run over curbs
or hit the tire against the curb when parking.
And, of course, don’t burn rubber.
When turning your steering wheel, don’t
hold it in an extreme right or left position for
more than a few seconds. Doing so can damage the power-steering pump.
Consolidate your short driving trips. Most
of the wear and tear — as well as the pollution your car generates — takes place in the
first few minutes of driving. Doing several errands at once, during low traffic hours if possible, will keep your engine happier longer.

18 The Yankee Shopper, March, 2014
9th annual Grafton Fine Arts and Music Festival March 22
Last year’s festival was well attended.
GRAFTON - Come spend a wonderful Saturday on March 22 at the 9th annual Grafton
Fine Arts & Music Festival. See an amazing
array of art from exceptional student work to
incredible paintings by artists from Grafton,
from throughout the Blackstone Valley,
Worcester and beyond.
This all-day arts spectacular is completely
run by volunteers. It includes the always-anticipated and exciting children’s art awards ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Twenty four children in
two categories will receive savings certificates
donated by the Grafton Suburban Credit
Union. At 6:30 in the evening, the adult artists
will receive cash prizes for their anonymously
judged work. In addition, there will be several
special awards from local Grafton organizations and these will include both adult and
student categories. There are usually three-tofour-hundred pieces of art exhibited.
Art demonstrations take place throughout
the day. This year’s demonstrations include
collage methods by Stephen Halpert, luminaries by Cathy Taylor of Upton, and fiber work
by Laura Cahalane of Northbridge. Throughout the day there will be performances by local musicians as well as performers from Apple
Tree Arts. The reception at 6 p.m. includes the
adult awards ceremony, delicious refreshments
and a special program of entertaining live
music
Now in its 9th year, the annual Grafton Fine
Arts & Music Festival has been beneficial
to students from elementary through high
school, giving them the opportunity to exhibit
their work alongside skilled and dedicated
amateur and professional artists. This year’s
categories include oil and acrylic painting,
watercolor painting, traditional photography,
digital photography, sculpture and clay art,
graphic art (pen and ink, pencil, pastels),
mixed media/assemblage, fiber art including
quilts, and digital art.
The Festival was founded in 2005 by Stephen and Tasha Halpert. They proposed to
create an opportunity for amateurs, professionals and students to be exhibited and
judged alongside one another, bringing an
artistic renaissance to Grafton. Together with
initial grants from the Massachusetts Cultural
Council, the Festival’s beginning was embraced by the Grafton Suburban Credit Union
and other local businesses who generously
contributed toward its enduring success.
There is plenty of free parking at the Grafton
Municipal Center on Route 122, Providence
Highway in Grafton. The $5.00 entrance fee
provides an all day enriching artistic experience plus catered refreshments.
For more information visit the Festival’s Facebook page or website at www.graftonartsfestival.org.

It’s time to test
for heartworm
By Dr. Kelly Wolfenson Guay
Spring is coming! Time for great rejoicing after such a frigid
winter, right? Unfortunately, as spring arrives, so do many
pesky critters that want to make you and your pets unhealthy,
such as mosquitos, which can transmit heartworm disease,
and ticks, which carry Lyme disease as well as other diseases.
Today we’ll focus on heartworm disease. Cats and dogs are
both susceptible to heartworm disease, which can be fatal and
is PREVENTABLE!!
Heartworm larva live in the bellies of mosquitos and when
they bite an animal, they are capable of transmitting these
larva into their blood stream. As the worms develop, they
migrate to the lungs, heart, and pulmonary artery, where, if
they are fortunate enough to be bunking with a worm of the
opposite gender, they can set up shop and begin to breed.
Dogs that have died of heartworm disease look as if they have
mounds of spaghetti living inside the chambers of their hearts,
and cats that suffered the same demise may only have one or
two small tendril-like worms in their lungs. Ew, right?
Many products available by prescription from your veterinarian can protect your pets. Typically, for cats, the best
medication is a topical, systemically active spot-on, applied
monthly, such as Revolution and Advantage Multi. These

THE LORD IS MY
SHEPHERD
And that’s enough.
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want;
He makes me lie down in green
pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the
valleyof the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they
comfort me.
Lindsey was rescued with her three newborn babies from a woman who was going
to abandon them and other cats in a
filthy and disgusting apartment. Lindsey
and her babies went into a foster home
where they were raised with other cats,
dogs, a rabbit, and a ferret besides children. Lindsey is a nice kitty but prefers
to show affection on her own terms. She
is a nice quiet girl and would probably
like a home without other animals as she
appears to be quite a diva.
Lindsey is up to date on vaccinations,
spayed, and combo tested.
You prepare a table before me in
the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil’ my
cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of
theLord forever.
Psalm 23
medications also help to fight other external and intestinal parasites. Most of these
medications do not require cats to be blood
tested prior to applying. For dogs, it is a little
more involved: a simple blood test is often
required to make sure their systems are free
from heartworms before beginning preventative care. Many of the blood tests also test for
Lyme disease as well as some other tick-borne
diseases that can have serious consequences
if left untreated. If a dog is given heartworm
prevention and already has the parasites, you
risk a potentially fatal allergic reaction to dying
adult worms. This is why if there is more than
a month or two lapse in monthly prevention
in a dog, it is so important to test them first.
Common preventive medications for dogs
include Triheart, Heartgard, or Sentinel. Some
of these protect from fleas and intestinal
parasites as well. These are all oral, monthly
products, but there are topicals too, such as
Revolution for dogs. K9 Advantix is said to
have mosquito repellent properties, but is not
enough to protect your dog from heartworm
disease.
Symptoms of heartworm disease in cats
can range from none, to vomiting, asthma, or
sudden death. It is always sad when an animal
dies, even more so when it is from a preventable cause. Dogs, being generally larger than
cats, often can have heartworm disease for
years while the worms grow and grow. Shortness of breath, gradual unexplained weight
loss, or exercise intolerance may be the only
symptoms of this systemic disease that can
affect the kidneys, heart, lungs, liver, and other
organs. Having an untreated pet is also a
reservoir for infection of more mosquitos, and
continues the cycle.
Spring is a great time to get your pets
checked up, tested, and re-started on their
year-round heartworm preventatives!- Save a
life!

Chuck’s Steak House: Beef, burritos, and books
On the
restaurant
trail
By a Yankee diner
AUBURN – When I mentioned to a colleague
my plan to review Chuck’s Steak House, her face
lit up and she said “I love that place, especially
the salad bar with the onion soup.”
She’s not alone. Chuck’s is a popular place and
on a recent Saturday evening we had to wait to
be seated. It was just a short wait, though, and
the lounge, with it’s large bar, fireplace, handpainted murals, and pool table provided plenty
of distractions in the meantime.
For many years, the building on the corner of
Rt. 20 and Prospect Street housed two separate
restaurants: Chuck’s Steak House and Margaritaville, with separate kitchens and dining areas.
A year-and-a-half-ago the menus for the two
were integrated, and customers no longer had to
choose between steak or Mexican.
“The response has been fantastic,” said owner
Steve Londregan. “It’s a little more work for the
cooks and waiters, and the timing is more of a
challenge, but the customers really appreciate
having everything on one menu.”
The layout of the Margaritaville side of the
house was changed to Margaritagrille. Its seating
was moved into the lounge area, and the space
was renovated to be a function room.
The Steak House side remains as it was, laid
out in cozy, private sections with half walls and
shelves full of books, which diners are free to
borrow and return on their next visit. “We can
seat 220 people, but you never see more than 50
from any one table,” said Steve.
The books have a story too. Many of them
came from the public library in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, which would periodically update its
books and give the old ones to Chuck’s. “One
whole shelf is full of the books I needed to get
through Holy Cross,” said Steve. And some of
them are his father’s old law books, leatherbound.
Chuck’s Steak House in Auburn was once part
of a chain, founded in 1959, by Charles “Chuck”
Rolles, in Waikiki. His partner Ken Williams
brought the steak house and salad bar concept
to the East Coast with a restaurant in West Haven, Connecticut, first of a number of restaurants
across the country.
The Auburn location opened in 1978 and
Margaritaville was added as a separate restaurant in 1982. A few years later, in 1986, Steve
and co-owner Tom Flynn bought the business
from Chuck Rolles and his three partners, kept
the name, and continued the steak and salad
tradition.
Now, onto the menu and the soup and salad
bar. “It’s extremely popular,” he said. “The onion
soup is a recipe we’ve used for 36 years.”
All the steaks are premium quality and hand
cut on the premises and the Mexican items on
the menu are handmade daily. Steve tells us they
also sell a lot of salmon and haddock, surmising
that people are becoming more health conscious.
They also added some Italian items to the repertoire when the menus were combined, and the
chicken parmesan with its homemade marinara
sauce has become a best seller as well.
The list of appetizers on the menu is extensive,
including standards such as jumbo shrimp ($8.95),
stuffed mushrooms ($7.95), nachos ($7.95),
calamari ($10.95) to more exotics like escargot
($8.95) and risotto balls ($7.95).
The Chuck’s Steak House menu entrees
feature beef of all kinds, from an 8 oz. top sirloin
($16.95), New York strip ($23.95), prime rib
($21.95) to BBQ ribs ($18.95 for a full rack).
Seafood entree selections include broiled haddock ($16.95), salmon with dill butter ($16.95),
and beer battered fish & chips ($15.95).
The unlimited soup and salad bar can be added
to any entree for $4. As a meal it’s $12.95.
The Mexican menu contains tacos, quesadillas,
enchiladas, burritos, and fajitas. The menu concentrates on fajitas, describing them as serious
business, and containing fresh juicy skirt steak,
known for a rich flavor that makes it the best
meat for fajitas. Fajitas are $14.95.
Our party of three chose a full rack of BBQ
ribs, the blue cheese haddock ($17.95), and the
vegetable burrito ($9.95) for our entrees. The
ribs were a tremendous hit with our friend Bruce:

“The meat is nice and tender,” he said. “It falls
right off the bone. I’m pulling bones out of the
meat, rather than pulling meat off the bones,
that’s how tender it is.”
The haddock was excellent as well, steaming
hot and tasty. My veggie burrito filled half the
plate; it was huge, and garnished with tomato,
lettuce and sour cream. Half of it came home
with us for dinner a day later, and it was just as
good then.

there are many more choices than outlined here.

We stayed with the wine, and chose a Pepperwood pinot noir ($7.25/glass) and a Mionetto
prosecco ($8).
Chuck’s Steak House and Margaritagrille are
a comfortable place to “hang out” for a while,

with holiday parties, corporate events, and family
gathering such as funerals, graduations, and

A Ghost Story- Mount Washington
A Ghost Story by Thomas D’Agostino from A
Travel Guide to Haunted New England, History Press, 2009.
Mount Washington is the most prominent
peak east of the Mississippi River, stretching
6,288 ft into the sky. The observatory atop
Mount Washington recorded the world’s
highest speed wind gust in 1934. That record
stood until 1996. The mountain was also
the first to have a Tip Top House. Adventurers would travel from the Glen House at the
base of Mount Washington up to the Tip Top
House, where they could spend the night
marveling at some of the most magnificent
scenery New England has to offer. People
from all walks of life took the opportunity
to travel the path or rail that led to the top.
Many hikers over the centuries have braved
the elements and taken in the scenic wonder
Mount Washington has to offer. Some have
succumbed to the merciless mountain’s unpredictable climate changes. It is no wonder that
there might be a few spirits lingering along
the peak of New England’s highest elevation.
One tragic story took place on September
14, 1855, when twenty-three-year-old Lizzie
Bourne of Kennebunk, Maine, along with her
cousin, Lucy Bourne, and uncle, George, left
the Glen House to ascend
the mountain at about 2:00
p.m. Starting at such a late
hour in the day was an unwise
decision for by nightfall, the
company had not yet reached
its destination.
A fierce gale suddenly
overcame the region, and the
three took shelter behind a
mound of boulders. By about
10:00 p.m., Lizzie began showing quick signs of physical
deterioration and soon died.
It is alleged that she may have
had a heart condition that contributed to her demise. Lucy
and George made it through
the night and at sunrise
discovered, to their amazement, they were only a few
hundred yards from the summit house. Lizzie
was buried at Hope Cemetery in Kennebunk,
but a crude stone monument was erected to
mark the spot where she died. In time, the pile
of stones was replaced with a more modern
marker with an inscription of the fateful night
written in prose and poetry.
There is a well-founded tale that on September 14 of every year the ghost of Lizzie
Bourne can be seen floating about the marker
where she met her demise. Many years ago,
one group of hikers chose to test the legend
on a moonlit night. They arrived at the Bourne
monument and sat down, talking about the
incident. Soon, the clouds began to obscure
what little moonlight there was. As they
readied to return to the hotel, one of the men
shrieked in horror and pointed toward the

monument. The group turned and saw a glowing figure rising from the stones. The misty
figure took the form of a young woman with
a sad face and flowing robes. She pointed
toward the Tip Top House and then silently
glided to the ground, where she lowered herself to her knees in prayer before fading away
in front of the frightened adventurers. The
moon shone bright on the peak once again,
and the hikers stood alone at the monument,
silent and stunned by what had just transpired
in front of them.

While attending a funeral service at St. Louis
Church in Webster on Monday, March 10th, I
got to see my first ever baseball coach as the
celebrant of the Mass. My coach, the Reverend Larry Esposito, was the lead priest for his
aunt and Godmother, Margaret Ceppetelli,
who passed away the previous Thursday.
Esposito recalled many fond memories about
his Godmother and the Bigelow Road section
of Webster he grew up in. It was one of those
moments in life when you say to yourself,
”where has the time gone.”
Esposito coached the Webster Police minor
league team in 1960. I was seven years old
and it was my first taste of organized sports.
At our first practice, Esposito kindly told me
to put the “tools of ignorance” on and get
behind home plate. Actually, my father told
me later that day when I came home that the
catching gear was the “tools of ignorance.”
Old school slang. I had no clue what a catcher
was supposed to do other than “put the stuff
on” and get behind home plate. “Put the stuff
on” followed me right up to my last college
game at Nichols College in 1976 at the age
of 22. That’s 16 years of “putting the stuff
on” because of Esposito’s wisdom in 1960.
I loved the position because you are part of
the game on every pitch and you can see the
whole field all the time. In baseball, catchers
are always “putting the stuff on.” Is there any
other way to say it? “Can you please dress
yourself as a catcher?” No, that isn’t going to
work. “Put the stuff on means baseball business is about to start.”
Jog your memories a bit and think back to
your minor and Little League days. Honestly,
who are the kids who are delegated to the
position of catcher? Yes, the big overweight
kids. That was me. I had quite the appetite in
my youth. My experience with coach Esposito
was great and I have to thank him for encouraging me at such a young and impressionable
age. Esposito had a calmness about himself
that all my teammates could sense. He was
the perfect first coach to have. He wasn’t a
parent and volunteered his services because
he had a sincere passion for coaching kids.
As the celebration of Margaret Ceppetelli
went on, I reflected on my experiences and all
my coaches over the years. Esposito planted
an important seed in 1960 with a bunch of
seven year olds. We had a lot of fun and
respected our coach. Father Esposito now
serves the parish of the Good Shepherd in
Linwood as their pastor.
There is another priest in the Whitinsville
community who has a coaching degree and
that is Father Jim Carmody who is the pastor
at St. Peter’s Parish. Father Carmody is one of
the good guys also and I got to spend a lot
of time with him when he coached basketball
and baseball at St. Peter’s in Worcester. Father
Carmody was an assistant coach on the 1977
Division 1 State Championship baseball team
at St. Peter’s. I had the junior varsity team that
year and got to join the varsity on their run in
the tournament. Rich Gedman and JP Ricciardi
were the headliners on that team. Gedman
had a ten year career with the Red Sox while
Ricciardi went on to become the General
Manager for the Toronto Blue Jays. Father
Carmody was the glue that held that team together. His insight to the personalities on the
team taught me a great lesson in coaching.
He was a great motivator who was a positive
influence to the team. ”Leave your ego at the
door” is one of the “pearls” Father Carmody
believed in. Both Esposito and Carmody were
big influences on a lot of athletes and are now
leaders of faith in their communities.
Good Luck to all the spring sport’s teams
that will begin on St. Patrick’s Day. Spring tryout week is a sign that spring is right around
the corner.

Uxbridge High School Student Council
UXBRIDGE - The Rotary Club of Uxbridge
would like to extend a sincere thank you to
everyone in the community who helped to
make this year’s Coats For Town Kids Project
a success! Once again the Blackstone Valley
Community has come together to help kids
in need in our local towns. We are pleased
to report that the outpouring of donations in
response to our efforts to provide warm coats
and hats to local children has again exceeded
our expectations. Through the generosity of
so many in the community, we have provided
over 180 coats to children of families in the
Towns of Uxbridge, Northbridge, Douglas,
Blackstone and Millville.
We have so many to thank, but in particular
at this time, we would like to acknowledge
and thank a group of “Kids Helping Kids.”
Students from the Uxbridge High School
Student Council who rallied together to
raise money because they wanted to be sure
that all of the kids in their community had a
warm coat this year. During the month of
December students collected money in their
homeroom periods by initiating a contest to
see who could raise the most money for our
coat drive. The winning homeroom received
breakfast provided by the Student Council as
a reward. The homerooms raised $270, and
the Student Council pledged to match up to
$200, donating a total of $470 to the Rotary
Club of Uxbridge Coats For Kids Project!
Sheila Bernard and Sarah Gaudet, Student
Council Co-Advisors said “We know that every
little bit counts, and it is always a good feeling

when our students step up to the challenge to
help those in need in our community.” Rotary
Club Members agree that we have many
reasons to be proud of all of the students who
went above and beyond in their efforts to
make a difference for other kids in the community!
Without the generosity of individuals in the
community, this project would not be possible.
To everyone who helped: the students from
Uxbridge High School, folks who contributed
to provide one child with one coat, those
individuals taking the time out of their busy
schedules to knit hand-made hats and the
local business owners and employees of local
businesses who banded together to collect
donations, we cannot thank you enough!
The goal of the Rotary Club of Uxbridge is
to continue to make a difference here in the
Blackstone Valley and also around the world,
through our affiliation with Rotary International. With the help and support of the
community, we will continue to help wherever
we see a need.
Thank you again to everyone whose generous support made Operation Warm / Coats
for Kids a great success!

Blackstone Valley”:
