OXFORD — Oxford’s
municipal elections are
on Tuesday, May 17, and
in preparation for the big
day the Oxford Business
Association held a special forum on April 30 to
allow candidates for several contested elections
to speak their minds on
issues concerning the
town.
Last week, The Webster
Times presented some
responses by the candidates for the Board of
Selectmen.
However,
while there are two seats
available on that board,
only one seat is available
on the School Committee,
which has three candidates vying for their
shot at helping move
the town’s schools in the
right direction.

From left, Oxford School Committee candidates Cassandra
Sue Day, Desmond White and Karl Brown speak during a
forum earlier this month, presenting their take of a series of
issues facing the Oxford School District as they each hope to
fill the one vacant School Committee seat on May 17.
Running for the seat
are Cassandra Sue Day,
Desmond White and Karl
Brown, who all have children in the school system
of various ages, and said
they hope to become more
involved in the school
district as both parents
and concerned citizens
seeking to drive home the
importance of education
in Oxford.
Day is a 2006 graduate
of Suffolk University and
has a background in public accounting. Currently
manager of the accounting
department of Hometown
Bank in Oxford, Day
grew up in Uxbridge and
is a three-year member
of the Chaffee School
Council and helped with
the District Improvement
Plan during that time.

As
expected,
Webster’s
Annual Town Meeting
was adjourned immediately Monday night, May
9, to accommodate a May
18 vote on several items
that will determine if the
town will go forward with
only a balanced budget or
if any of four different
items will be added to the
spending plan before the
Annual Town Meeting
reconvenes in June.
Multiple items were
tabled during the May
9 meeting to be considered next month, but the
Annual Town Meeting
was far from simple.
Despite the meeting
immediately adjourning, Webster resident
Bob Whitelaw brought
up his concerns that
several items that were
tabled were on the agenda without any numbers attached. Webster’s
Town Moderator Thomas
Ralph cleared up some
misconceptions on this
issue, noting that while it
may seem like the Town
Meeting warrant is lacking information, leaving
certain items without
any actual numbers really works to the town’s
benefit.
“When there are no
numbers on the warrant
article it’s basically for
the convenience of town
meeting,” Ralph said.
“The law requires the
town to give a warning
to the residents of what
would be discussed at
Town Meeting. So if they
were to put in a number, lets say $1 million,
and then someone made
a motion to amend that to
$1.5 million then it would
be on me to rule that out

OXFORD — Oxford
voters approved several
items at the Annual Town
Meeting on May 4, including a budget with a modest increase and a new
Committee bylaw.
Voters filed in to the
Oxford High School for
the meeting, which was
relatively tame, with
few, if any, really contentious items brought
forward for consideration over the course of
the night. As one of the
highlight items that evening, the town approved
a budget of $35,062,703
for the 2017 fiscal year.
The increase is $736,828
higher than the current
fiscal year, enough for
a small increase but not
enough for a Proposition
2 1/2 override, which was
tabled earlier this year.
The town also voted to
maintain the School
Operational
Needs
Committee for another year. The committee
was formed last year to
study the need for such an
override on the school’s
side of the budget and its
members will continue to
serve in that function for
at least another year at
the request of the town.
Voters also approved
the formation of a
Committee, a seven-member panel that will
explore the needs and
potential for community
preservation in Oxford
and is directly connected
to another proposal to be
on the ballot on May 17
during the town’s annual
election. The panel will
be changed with recommending action at town
meetings concerning open
space, historical properties and renovations and
other initiatives in the
town while also helping
guide the town in setting
aside funding under the
Act. The bylaws for that
committee were approved

Moore welcomes student artists to State House
BOSTON — Senator Michael O.
Moore (D-Millbury) welcomed five student artists to the State House from
Worcester-area colleges to unveil an
art display inspired by landscapes and
images of the Greater Worcester area.
In an effort to showcase the unique
identity of the Second Worcester
District, and to highlight the talent of
local student artists, Sen. Moore contacted Worcester-area higher education
institutions in February to request student art submissions for display within
the foyer of his State House Office. Sen.
Moore hosted an art installation and
reception for the students, who were
joined by family, friends and professors including Professor Mary Newman
from Quinsigamond Community
College (QCC) and Dr. Paul Cotnoir,
Director of Design Programs at Becker
College.
After a review of dozens of submissions, the five finalists included three
pieces of art from students enrolled at
QCC, one from Becker College and one
from Assumption College. Worcester
resident Travis Simpkins, a freelance
artist, educator, and respected museum
professional assisted Sen. Moore with
launching the program, and with mak-
ing final selections for display.
“I am honored to celebrate the spirit of the region by showcasing the
talent of local student artists,” said
Moore. “As Senate Chair of the Joint
Committee on Higher Education, I recognize the importance of assisting students achieve their academic, personal
and career goals. I am proud to display
this artwork which captures the unique
beauty of the Greater Worcester area,
and also congratulate all of the students
on their achievements.”
“My greatest inspiration comes from
a French Photographer who goes by
the name of Serge Ramelli,” said Kevail
Cole, an Applied Arts major at QCC
whose artwork Worcester in Motion
was selected for display. “His alluring
use of colors and ability to tell a story
in a single frame, with an exquisite and
moody tone, are all elements that emanate from his work of art.”
The art installation is available for
viewing in the foyer of Room 109B at
the State House until the end of June.
Visitors to the State House are welcome
to stop by Senator Moore’s Office to
view the following work from a local
student:

Oxford High School senior
embraces love of nature
ACCURACY WATCH:
BY JASON BLEAU
NEWS STAFF WRITER
“Well, I’ve always done outdoor stuff.
My dad likes it too. We used to always
go fishing so that was our time together.
We still do every summer. We’ll be out
there for days doing that and we hike
together. There are so many different
things you can do outside. There must
be one thing for everyone to like. I’d just
say go out there and experience it.”
OXFORD — As the “That’s A Picture!”
Campaign interview series out of
Oxford High School comes to a close,
Webster Times Staff Writer Jason Bleau
caught up with the “Outdoorsman”
Alex Shepherd to talk about his love for
nature and outdoor activities after he
was named one of the 15 senior students
in the campaign.
A future student of Syracuse
University seeking a degree in electrical engineering, Shepherd said he
has always had a love for the outdoors
and shared some of his favorite activities and his thoughts about embracing
nature and what it has to offer.
Look for the final interview in the 2016
“That’s A Picture!” campaign series
in next week’s issue of The Webster
Times.
Thank you for sitting down with
me today, Alex. Can you explain to
me what it is about the outdoors
that you love so much? What about
being out in nature really brings
you in and makes that such a fun
thing for you?
“I’ve just been outdoors my whole
life, so I’ve just grown up with it. I love
every season and I love doing all sorts
of activities outside. I just love being
active.”
Do you get those opportunities
here in high school to explore nature
and the outdoors?
“Well when I was in fifth grade I
started doing the ski club and that was
when I first started snowboarding. I did
that all the way up through 9th grade. I
loved doing that. After 9th grade I started doing other sports after that. I play
soccer, I run cross country and track so
my sports are outdoors.”
Do you enjoy those sports more
because they are outdoors?

“It’s exciting. I’ve always love being

it with anyone. I do all this stuff because
I love to do it so this is pretty cool.”
Jason Bleau photo
Oxford High School senior Alex Shepherd was
named the “outdoorsman” in the school’s
“That’s A Picture” campaign.
“Yes, especially running. I love to
run in the woods and even along the
roadway. Outside of school I hike and
I have a good friends that I go with. We
have a goal to do the 48 4,000 footers
in the White Mountains. We’ve done
about seven of them now. I dirt bike and
snowmobile. I go four-wheeling. Stuff
like that.”
We live in a day and age where
technology is a dominant for on
entertainment and it is hard to
escape that. For some people doing
outdoor activities and being in
nature is not their thing and really
some might even say those activities
are real “old school” fun. What is it
about having that outdoor experience and doing those activities that
you seem to enjoy more than modern forms of entertainment?

ENTERTAINMENT AND
EVENTS
One last question before I let
you go, Alex. Did your love for the
outdoors play into your college of
choice? I know that a college that’s
right for your own career and educational goals is an important decision
to make, but comfort level plays into
that to I would assume.
DON’T MISS
A THING!
“It is in a town, but everything outside of it is rural and farmland. It did
play into the decision a little bit. They
have a ski club and other outdoors clubs
around there so that did play some part
in the decision.”
Well, Alex, we appreciate you
taking the time to talk with The
Webster Times and share your love
for the outdoors. Congrats on being
named to the “That’s A Picture!”
campaign and we’ll see you at graduation next month.
“Thank you.”

News Brief
Bartlett forum to focus on opioid
epidemic
WEBSTER — For some, opioid/heroin addiction
starts out as simply being prescribed a medication
to help alleviate pain, while for others it is a deliberate act.
Regardless of initiation, many people so quickly become dependent on this type of medication.
Medications that fall under the opioid category
include hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine and
codeine to name a few. Heroin is also a recreational drug that falls under this category. Opioid
addiction does not prey on any particular age or
race, and has become a fast-growing epidemic in
our nation over recent years. It has been reported
that an average of four people die every day in
Massachusetts from an opioid-related overdose.
The official government website for Massachusetts
(mass.gov) reported that Worcester County
alone experienced 177 opioid-related deaths in
2015 — the third highest death toll per county in
Massachusetts. The highest number of deaths was
found among men and women between the age of
25 and 34. Deaths were also reported in those over

Boston Globe also reported a 6-percent increase in
opioid-related deaths from 2014 to 2015, a big jump
from previous years. What can we do as a community to stop these alarming statistics from rising?
Experts suggest that the response to this devastating epidemic must come from each and every
community. Many of our state and local legislators, emergency responders and health professionals have taken initiative to stop this epidemic from
spreading even further.
Residents of Webster are no exception. The
Webster Public Schools, Webster Police
Department and Harrington Hospital are joining with the District Attorney’s Office of Central
Massachusetts to host a forum to educate the public and to discuss this issue. The event, Opioid Use
and Abuse: Addressing the Crisis, will be held on
Tuesday, May 17, from 6-8 p.m. The event will be
held at Bartlett High School in Webster, 52 Lake
Pkwy. Resource tables will be available from 6-6:30

St. Joseph students learn about monuments
Courtesy photos
WEBSTER — Sr. Jeanne Akalski’s
fourth grade class at St. Joseph School
recently spent time during their Social
Studies classes learning about monuments.
The students learned that there are
many kinds of monuments throughout
the world and that they’re created for
many different reasons. Some honor a
special occasion, like a World’s Fair,
while others honor a special person.
The students also learned that monuments come in numerous shapes and
sizes and can be made from many kinds
of materials such as stone, metal, or a
combination of materials.
At the conclusion of their lessons,
Sr. Jeanne challenged her students to
design a monument of their own. They
had to identify how it would look, who
or what it would honor and why, where
their monument would be located, the
materials that would be used, what the
monument would be called, and finally, explain if an existing monument
inspired their thinking.
The students took on the challenge
with great enthusiasm and creativity. Some chose to research existing
monuments such as the Golden Gate
Bridge, Eiffel Tower, and Washington
Monument, other students reflected upon history for their inspiration.
Those monuments included “World
Peace,” “The Pearl Harbor Historic
Sites,” and “One Small Step” in honor
of Neil Armstrong. Other students
designed monuments to honor Notch,
the creator of Minecraft, and Mary Pope
Osborne, the author of the book series
The Magic Treehouse. However, many
students looked to their family, school,
and town for motivation. Those monuments included “Mount Siroberson”
and “Gronek and Bialik Rushmore”
in honor of parents and grandparents;
“The Seven Summits” in honor of the
benefactors of Saint Joseph School;
“Scruffy: My Best Friend” and “Dog of
All Dogs” both honoring family pets;
A tribute to a sibling called, “My Big
Brother Alex;” And, a monument honoring the Nipmuc Indian Tribe.
One student chose to honor “The
World’s Best Teacher.” The monument
recognized Sr. Jeanne because she
made this fourth grader “the greatest
student he could be and she helps him
with his reading.”
Finally, one student designed a monument named “Mother and Child” honoring all mothers and their unconditional love for their children.
She said, “I made the model of my
monument out of paste made from a
mixture of salt and water. I also used
some glue and real oil based paint.
I chose these materials because salt
shows that a mother’s job is not always
sweet or easy. The water represents the
purity of her love. The glue represents
her ability to hold the entire family
close together. Finally, the paint represents a good cover to a bad situation
that we sometimes put our mothers
through.”
Each student had the opportunity to
present their monument to their classmates and display their model in school.
FD to have rescue boat on Webster Lake
WEBSTER — Residents and visitors
to Webster Lake will have one more
reason to feel safe on the water this
summer — a new rescue boat owned by
Webster Fire Rescue.
The boat is a Silver Ships Ambar
22-foot rescue boat. Originally designed
as an ocean vessel, it will be equipped
with both rescue equipment and a fire
pump, enabling the crew to help individuals who may find themselves in
trouble while enjoying all Webster Lake
has to offer.
The boat was purchased with federal funds through the Federal Excess
Property Program. While the boat itself
was structurally sound, it needed new
motors before it could be used on the
lake. At an estimated cost of $30,000,
Webster Fire Rescue did not have the
funds to purchase the motors.
Upon hearing this, local businessman Chris Robert stepped up with a
donation, enabling Webster Fire Rescue
to purchase the motors. Chris is also
donating dock space for the boat at
Indian Ranch, the campground and
concert venue on
Webster Lake. It
will dock alongside the Indian
Princess,
an
authentic paddle
wheeler that also
has fire pumps on board, and can be
used in case of emergency on the lake.
“As both a resident and a local
business owner, I appreciate all that
Webster Lake has to offer. People come
from across the state to enjoy fishing,
boating, waterskiing, swimming and
sailing on the lake,” said Robert. “To
ensure everyone’s safety, it’s important
that our Fire Rescue department have
the tools they need. I’m happy to be able
to help.”
Webster Fire Rescue hopes to have
the boat in the water before Memorial
Day.
“Webster Lake is one of the largest lakes in the Commonwealth,” said
Chief Brian Hickey of Webster Fire
Rescue. “The well-being of our residents and visitors to the lake is a priority for us and we have a strong safety
record. Having a rescue boat available
to us on the lake is one more tool that
allows us to ensure the lake remains
safe and enjoyable for all. We thank
Chris Robert for helping to make this
happen.”

St. Joseph School presents ‘Living Wax Museum’
Courtesy photos
WEBSTER — On Friday, April 29,
Ms. Bailey’s fifth grade class at St.
Joseph School presented the Living
Wax Museum.
The Living Wax Museum was a twopart project that focused on reading
biographies. First, her students were
required to read a biography about a
person in history — present or past.
Next, they had to present their book
report in a unique way. The class was
asked to dress-up as the person they
were portraying and be able to speak as
that person. Some requirements included knowing about the person’s birth
and childhood, as well as how they contributed to our society.
The Living Wax Museum was attend-
ed by parents and fellow Saint Joseph
School Students. Visitors approached
the statuesque figures and were
required to press a button to make them
come to life.
“It is their favorite report of the year,”
said Bailey, “the students not only love
being part of the museum but visiting
it as well.”
Living Wax Figures included
Amelia Earhart, Sacagawea, Hellen
Keller, Norman Rockwell, Bethany
Hamilton, Silas Robertson, Pele, Dr.
Seuss, Thomas Edison, J.K. Rowling,
Frederick Douglas, Blake Griffin, Susan
B. Anthony, George Lucas, Rosa Parks,
Babe Ruth, Wilbur Wright, and Anne
Frank. It was certainly an educational
experience for all who attended and
participated!

Whatever
it takes
Sometimes, you have to do whatever
it takes to get the job done — even it
includes wearing a tutu … and a tiara …
in public.
I’ll explain.
As loyal readers of this column know
by now, I have two healthy, vibrant,
rambunctious kids. They were also born
preemies. Their stories have been told
numerous times over the past few years,
so I won’t delve too deeply into it this
week. But this past Saturday, our family
traveled to Mystic, Conn., to walk in the
annual March for Babies put on by the
March of
Dimes.

trying
to raise
MINOR
money
for
the
cause as
part of our MinorMIRACLES team. We
received a ton of support, from people
we know and even from people we don’t,
and even some from readers of this column, which we are eternally grateful for
(www.marchforbabies.org/minormiracles for anyone still interested in donating…it’s never too late!).
But as we all know, even the simplest
of fundraisers need a little injection to
give it some life, something to motivate
people to give — some kind of stakes.
That’s where we were about a month ago.
Things were moving along OK, but I felt
like we needed to do more. Something
was missing.
A few weeks ago, my wife and I decided
to add an old-fashioned reward to our
fundraising goal. So, after much thought
and consideration, I decided that we
would set our goal, with the reward being
me dressing up in a tutu for the walk.
Well, apparently, everyone I know really wanted to see this happen, because
needless to say, the fundraiser kicked
off into high gear soon after that, and we
easily met our goal within a week. In fact,
we hundreds over our goal, just for good
measure.
It was tutu time.
Never a man to let it be, however,
I upped the ante again. Only 24 hours
before the walk, I challenged everyone I
knew that if we could raise $300 more, I
would add a tiara to my ensemble.
At midnight, the night before the week,
we hit our goal, and the person that put
us over? It was mother. Go figure.
I am a man of my word, and as the picture attached to this column can attest,
I donned that tutu and tiara with pride
in Mystic, for all the world to see. And it
was, well, interesting.
For the most part, I got a lot of people
pointing and yelling out “Awesome!” I
even got a few women coming up to me
and my wife, telling us that next year,
they were going to get their husbands
into tutus for the 2017 walk. I didn’t know
how to take that one. Inspiring other men
to wear tutus? I’ll take it, I guess…
The reaction was what I thought it
would be — overwhelmingly positive,
and grateful. My response was that I
would do “whatever it takes” to support
a cause that no doubt saved the lives of
my children — even if that meant dressing up in a ridiculous costume in front of
hundreds of people. If that’s what it takes,
I’ll do it every year. They’re worth it.
Besides, I thought I pulled the look off.
Now, the question is, how do we top it
next year?

YOUR
TURN
Election Letters Policy
Editor’s Note: With an election season
upon us, Stonebridge Press will occasionally publish its guidelines for submitting
election-related letters. Should you have
any questions, do not hesitate to call us
at 508-909-4130.
Believe it or not, it’s that time of year
— election season.
In Oxford, voters will voice their decisions on Tuesday, May 17. Meanwhile
in Dudley, Monday, June 13 is the day.
Candidates in our community are
gearing up for Election Day. Just as
they are hoping for a good voter turnout, Stonebridge Press wants to hear
from you. Who do you support in your
town’s upcoming election? Why? What
issue is most important to you?
Our Election Letters Policy is as follows:
Absolutely no anonymous Sound Offs
may be submitted in endorsement of
any candidate for political office. Any
mention of a political candidate and/or
issues he or she has addressed, and any
election-related matter, must be done in
a signed Letter to the Editor.
While space dictates how many letters
are published in each issue, prompt submission will increases the likelihood
of inclusion. In other words, writers
are advised not to wait until two weeks
before an election to submit a letter.
Election letters are no longer being
accepted in Webster or Oxford. For
Dudley election letters, the last edition
including political letters for will be the
Friday, June 3 Webster Times. Dudley
letters must be received by the editor
no later than 12 p.m. Thursday, May 26,
at 5 p.m.
No Oxford election letters are being
published in this edition. No Dudley
election letters will be published in the
Friday, June 10 edition.
All letters must be signed, with a
place of residence and phone number
supplied for verification if needed.
Failure to include any of that information could result in your letter not being
published.
All letters must be free of personal
attacks and libelous remarks. Letter
writers are encouraged to remain
focused on endorsing a candidate, and
to refrain from commenting negatively
about opponents. Failure to follow that
guideline could result in rejection of a
letter to the editor.
Letters should not be written as
though to a particular individual (for
example: “Your decision was wrong.
You should not act in that way.”). Refer
to individuals by name, and then by
“he” or “she” or “they” in subsequent
references.
For election-related letters only, there
is a 500-word limit, and all submissions
will be published as space is available.
Any candidates for office will be
allowed one letter to introduce themselves and their candidacy. Candidates
will not be allowed to submit any other
election-related letters.
The editor reserves the right to edit
any and all submissions at his discretion. When possible, attempts will
be made to allow the letter writer to
rewrite, but the final decision rests with
the editor.
No “Your Turn” columns will be
accepted as candidate endorsements.
The editor reserves the right to refuse
a submission if it does not meet any of
the aforementioned guidelines for publication. The editor may otherwise edit
or reject a letter at his discretion.
There are a lot of important issues
facing every town this year and you
deserve a say in them. You’ll get one
chance at the polls on Election Day.
You have another chance on our Op/
Ed pages.
So what are you waiting for?
Letters to the Editor
Miller: Thank you for your vote
To the Editor:
I would like to thank everyone who
voted on May 2 in the Webster elections. I would like to congratulate all
the candidates for all their hard work
and efforts.
I would also like to thank everyone
that supported me, and I could not
have succeeded without the help of my
support team, family, friends, and of
course, the voters of Webster.
We worked very hard and it paid off
in the long run. Now, we have to see
what will be done to improve and keep
Webster moving in the right direction.
I do ask that if you have a situation,
or if there is a concern that you have,
please contact the Selectman’s Office or
give any of us a call. That is what we are
there to do, help you and serve you, the
taxpayers. There are five of us. Please
reach out with your ideas, suggestions
and questions.

‘Pooper
scooper’ bylaw
During a recent
visit to a local
store, I was asked
to address an issue
that occurs in many
parts of town.
Many people walk
dogs outside the
boundaries of their
hief s
property. This can
be for exercise or
orner
for them to simply
“do their business.”
STEVE
Often, these animals
WOJNAR
may defecate on the
property of another.
Some owners do not properly pick up
after them in many instances. I was
asked to explain our local dog “pooper
scooper” bylaw.
The rule in Dudley for cleaning up
after your dog is addressed by Article
27 Section 11C (2) of the town by-laws.
It states in part, “the owner/keeper of
any animal who shall be found by the
Animal Control Officer to have defecated on private property other than that of
its owner/keeper, or on public property
without proper disposal and removal…
shall be punished by the imposition of
fines as follows…” This applies to most
locations outside the boundaries of your
property, including public places, and
requires the owner to clean up the mess.
Dog owners who are found in violation
can suffer a $25 fine for a first offense,
$50 for a second, and $100 for a third or
subsequent violation.
It is important for dog owners to be
aware of this issue. It is not only a
bylaw, it is a simple matter of common
courtesy. Property owners should not
be required to clean up after another
person’s dog. In many cases, people
may not be expecting this substance
to be on their lawn and may step in it,
or worse. In addition, owners should
pay particular attention if they allow
their dogs to be off a leash. This is
an entirely separate issue. They are
supposed to be leashed or under “full
control” at all times. According to the
by-laws, “full control means that the
dog will respond to the command, order
or signal of the owner or other person
responsible for the dog and shall at
all times, by his command, order or
signal prevent his dog from bothering,
worrying, annoying, chasing or barking at any person, domestic animal or
livestock.” Therefore, animals should
not be out unattended. If this is properly
observed, it should limit the possibility
of the owner being unaware of the fact
their dog has “done their business” on
the property of another.
Dog control issues can be complex
and complicated. They are addressed
on a case-by-case basis. In order to limit
issues, please be good neighbors by
controlling your animals and properly
cleaning up after them. This will help
keep the peace and tranquility in your
neighborhood so everyone can enjoy
their time outside.

SOUND OFF:
I have been reading about the protest
on Larnard Road about the dog business
that’s been going on every weekend
since January.
It’s a shame the town let it go on.
Those people must pay taxes. I wonder
if a selectman or police officer lived on
the street if it would go on every weekend.
Maybe, if the protesters worked, they
would understand about having a quiet
weekend.
Why don’t they do something useful,
take a bag and pick up trash on the road
if they want to be noticed in the town?
Wear a sign, saying “I pick up trash,”

The miracle of spring
“We glibly talk of nature’s laws; but
do things have a natural cause? Black
earth becoming yellow crocus; is undiluted hocus-pocus.” -From Grooks by
Piet Hein
The annual rejuvenation of our flower beds and lawns by the warming sun
and the spring rains always seems like
undiluted hocus-pocus to me. There is
a mystery amidst the recurring cycles
of life. Each year the New England seasons change, the brilliant colors of fall
leaves give way to the cold north winds
with their blanketing snow falls, then,
abruptly the cold rains and brisk spring
winds subside and everything changes.
Seemingly overnight, the birds sing, the
tree leaves fill in their empty limbs, the
flowers pop and add color to the day and
the sun drenches us, once-again in the
warmth of its rays, umpires yell “Batter
up!” and spring abounds.
Our days have a routine, a timing
that provides an ever-present backdrop
to the journey of life and yet,
that they may have life and

Help ‘stamp out hunger’ this weekend
‘Time to cowboy up, Webster’
To the Editor:
I recently went to the Webster Public
School’s informational meeting on why
they are asking the residents for the
override and what the funds will cover
if it passes.
Not surprisingly, not many actually
bothered to show up. In fact, the attendance was very small. It appears to be
easier to just complain about it, make
up fictitious reasons why the school
system is asking for it or simply not
have the ability to look beyond one’s
own nose rather than deal with facts.
It has nothing to do with what teachers
in other towns make. The very modest
increases that Webster’s teachers make
is already covered in the traditional
budget. Oh, and that increase was negotiated in their contract so the pass or
fail of this measure has no bearing on
that.
I was also fortunate enough to attend
the Bartlett Super Team banquet this
week. After hearing some of these kids
stories and how the above and beyond
efforts of the Bartlett faculty have made
a difference in their lives … they earn it
and then some.
Webster has a choice. It’s on the verge
of being a very good school district
again. We can stay on that course or we
can save for today. The items that are
being asked for now will be required in
order to be compliant soon anyway. The
problem is, if we put it off, it’s going to
cost a lot more later. The problem is,
if we choose to stay stagnant, we’ll be
falling behind again.
The reality is that this is an investment in many ways. If you insist on voting no for selfish reasons, think about
this instead. Your property value will
go up in excess of what you will pay by
having a great school system. That is a
proven formula.
Time to cowboy up, Webster.

To the Editor:
Saturday, May 14 marks the 24th
anniversary of the National Association
of Letter Carriers “Stamp Out Hunger
Food Drive.” Letter carriers walk
throughout the community every day,
often coming face to face with a sad
reality for too many, hunger.
So, each year on the second Saturday
in May, letter carriers across the country collect non-perishable food donations from our customers. These donations go directly to local food pantries to
provide for families in our own community in need of help.
Last year, on this one day over 71
million pounds of food was collected
nationally. Over the course of its 23-year
history the drive has collected well over
one billion pounds of food, thanks to
the Postal Service’s universal network
that spans the entire nation, including
Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin
Islands.
The need is great. Currently 49 million
Americans (1 in 6) are unsure where
their next meal is coming from. Nearly
16 million children feel the impact of
hunger on their overall health and
ability to perform in school and 5 million seniors over age 60 have to decide
between daily meals or paying for rent
or needed medications.
The timing of this annual event is
intentional and crucial. Food banks and
pantries receive the bulk of their donations around the fall and winter holidays. By springtime many pantries are
depleted, entering the summer with low
supplies at a time when many school
breakfast and lunch programs are not
available to children in need.
Participating in this year’s Stamp Out
Hunger Food Drive is simple. Just leave
a non-perishable food donation in a bag
by your mailbox on Saturday, May 14
and your letter carrier will do the rest.
Please join in America’s great day of
giving and help us in our fight to end
hunger.

Bartlett softball versus
Burncoat washed out

base versus Burncoat.

Bartlett pitcher Alyssa Ward winds up before tossing the ball in the top of the first inning versus Burncoat, the
only half inning played between the two teams on Friday, May 6.
WEBSTER — Local high
school athletic directors were
scrambling last week when
rain was in the forecast for
parts of each day, forcing postponements and causing multiple games to be pushed back
toward the end of the season.
On Friday, May 6, the skies
were clear for most of the
day as the Bartlett High varsity softball team welcomed
Burncoat High. But as the
teams began warming up, the
floodgates opened. The Lady
Indians and Patriots attempted
to play ball, but only the top
of the first inning commenced
before the umpires deemed the
field to be unplayable as the
infield dirt turned to mud and
puddles began to form, which
started to resemble nearby
Webster Lake.
Alyssa Ward pitched the top
of the first for Bartlett (2-6) and
had a relatively easy inning,
Bartlett High Athletic Director Tony Paranto, left, and varsity softball head
coach Ryan Renauld attempt to clean up the infield between the top and
bottom of the first inning, but the Lady Indians’ game with Burncoat was
called shortly thereafter.
allowing just one base runner.
Katie Kobel was about to step
into the batter’s box from her
leadoff position in the home
half of the first, but that’s when
the game was called.
Clearer skies were in the
forecast for the week ahead,
as of press time, so hopefully
Bartlett — and all other local
teams — will be able to get in as
many games as possible.
Anticipated Bay Path baseball tilt with
Valley Tech washed out
BY NICK ETHIER
SPORTS STAFF WRITER
UPTON — Back on Thursday,
April 28 the Bay Path Regional and
Blackstone Valley Tech varsity baseball
teams were engaged in a pitchers’ duel
that pitted the Minutemen’s Tucker
Hetherman against the Beavers’ Tyler
Brodeur. Bay Path won the game, 2-0,
and another thriller looked to be in
store when the same teams — and the
same pitching matchup — squared off
again on Wednesday, May 4.
But the slow, steady rain turned into
a complete washout after two innings
of play. The field was deemed to be
unplayable, and the teams left with the
game still scoreless before the top of the
third inning commenced.

NEWS BRIEF
Webster resident honored at
Red Sox game
BOSTON — Donating life-saving
blood recently turned into an experience of a lifetime for Webster resident
Paul Terranova.
He was named Blood Donor of the
Game and was honored on the field at
Fenway Park prior to the Boston Red
Sox game against Atlanta Braves on
April 27. Paul entered to win the chance
to become Blood Donor of the Game
after recently donating blood with the
American Red Cross.
Together with the Boston Red Sox and
recently added to the Colonial Athletic
League (CAL).
“What our league voted on was that
we pick it up like it’s a suspended
game,” explained Bay Path head coach
Mark Sansoucy, adding that a prior
Valley Tech game changed the rule.
“They had an incident out at Monty
Tech. It was a huge score and it was
the fourth inning and they started it all
over again.”
That original game, played May 15,
2012 in Fitchburg, was called in the top
of the fourth inning with the Beavers
leading, 10-3. The game then had to be
played from the very beginning at a
later date.
“After that incident that’s when the
league decided to pick it up where it left
off,” said Sansoucy.
Sansoucy agrees with the new rule
and with the decision to call the present
game with the Beavers off, as puddles
began to form around home plate and
the first and third baselines.
And while only two innings were
played, Sansoucy enjoyed what he saw
from both starting pitchers, just like
what he saw six days prior.
“I think it was just what you expected
— just what you wanted — a continuation of last time,” he said.
Brodeur was the hard-luck loser
in the first installment, as he limited Bay Path’s strong offense, but the
Minutemen came alive late to pick up
the victory.
“We only got four hits but they were
stringed together, so that’s huge,”
Sansoucy said.
That win propelled Bay Path to 9-0 and
they currently sit at a perfect 10-0 before
the rained out contest. The Minutemen
have already qualified for the Central
Mass. Division 3 district tournament
with a potential CAL title and State
Vocational Tournament berth in sight.
“I think they’re all reachable,” said
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center,
the Red Cross is proud to honor lucky
presenting donors through the Blood
Donor of the Game program. Fans are
invited to enter to win after stepping
up to the plate and volunteering to help
patients in need.
“We are thrilled to honor Paul
Terranova as one of our Blood Donors
of the Game,” said Donna M. Morrissey,
Director of National Partnerships for
the Red Cross. “Thank you to Paul and
all of our other generous volunteer
blood donors who roll up their sleeves
to help ensure blood is available for
patients in need.”
All presenting donors at Red Cross
blood drives or donation centers in
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Vermont will have
the opportunity to enter to win the
honor of becoming Blood Donor of the
Game from now through the end of the
2016 regular baseball season. In addition to winning 2 tickets to a game at
historic Fenway Park, the Blood Donor
of the Game will be presented with a
commemorative souvenir and most will
have the chance to take part in a special
on-field experience prior to the start of
the game.
The Blood Donor of the Game program is a unique way for the Red Cross
to thank volunteer blood donors during
the spring and especially during the
summer months, when the need for
donations is critical.
For additional information about the
Blood Donor of the Game program and
information regarding donor eligibility
please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767) or visit redcrossblood.org.
Sansoucy. “If we play the way we’re
capable of playing and if pitching lines
up, we should be good.”
The pitching is led by Hetherman, a
senior with a 3-0 record and 0.32 ERA
through 22 innings before squaring
off with Valley Tech a second time.
Hetherman had allowed one earned
run and walked six with 35 strikeouts.
Hetherman was perfect through two
innings versus the Beavers with another three strikeouts.
Sansoucy added that Hetherman is
“hitting the ball great.”
Hetherman’s average before the game
with Valley Tech (6-3) — where he was
0 for 1 on a fly-out to center field — was
a monstrous .571 (16 hits in 28 at-bats)
with four doubles, two homers, 11 runs
scored, 16 RBI and just one strikeout.

Unearned runs cost Shepherd Hill
baseball a 4-3 loss to Wachusett
BY GREG BARLOW
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
HOLDEN
—
Sebastian
Gruszecki pitched a complete
game for the Shepherd Hill
Regional varsity baseball team,
recording 10 strikeouts and
allowing just one earned run
on three hits, but the Rams fell
to Wachusett Regional, 4-3, in
a cold and rainy game played
last Friday, May 6.
“Any
time
we
have
Gruszecki on the mound, we
have a chance to beat anybody
in the state, but we need to not
give up three of the four runs,”
said Shepherd Hill head coach
Bear Dunn. “That’s what happens in this conference against
all these good teams. The margin of error is so small that if
you’re not clean, somebody is
going to take advantage of it.
They played with heart, and
the energy and attitudes have
been great all year. We just
need to learn how to win those
close games against quality
competition.”
The Rams now stand with
a record of 4-6 this season, as
they will need some wins to
be playoff-bound by the end of
the month. The Mountaineers
improved to a comfortable 7-4.

out-hit
Wachusett, 8-3, as catcher Nick
Ostrowski was a perfect 4 for 4
with three singles and a double
with an RBI. Gruszecki and
first baseman Ryan Sanderson
also added RBI’s.
“Coach Dunn always stresses how we have to play together as a team,” said Ostrowski.
“We have to stress those mental errors and pick ourselves
up, keeping our heads in the
game. And at the plate, I’m just
taking hacks — just letting the
ball come to me.”
With consistent rain showers throughout the contest, the
slick conditions proved to be
an obstacle for the Rams, as
half of the Mountaineers’ runs
were scored on errors.
Wachusett took an early 1-0
lead in the bottom of the first
inning. With runners on first
and third, Al Despres chopped
an infield grounder to claim an
RBI on a fielder’s choice.
The Mountaineers extended to a 2-0 advantage in the
bottom of the third inning.
With one out, Kenan Kolanda
bunted to get on base from an
error. Kolanda then stole his
way to second before advancing to third on a passed ball. Up
next, Despres’ hit turned into
an error at second base, which
scored a run.
The action picked up in the
bottom of the fourth inning
when Shepherd Hill started
to shift the momentum in its
favor. Under pressure with a
runner on third base and no
outs, the Rams’ defense made
three straight plays to prevent
a run. First, shortstop Josh
Welch and third baseman Kyle
Radziewicz each perfectly fielded back-to-back grounders hit
to them, looking back the lead
runner before firing the ball to
first base for an out. Gruszecki
struck out the next batter to get
the third out of the inning.
Shepherd Hill followed with
a three-run surge in the top
of the fifth inning to take the
lead. Mike Gauvin kicked off
the rally with a single down
the third base line into left
field before Conor Durward
dropped down a sacrifice bunt
to advance him to second base.
Gruszecki then cranked
an RBI single to center field,
and Ostrowski followed with
an RBI double to the left field
fence to tie the game at 2-2.
Sanderson’s RBI double to center then gave the Rams a onerun lead.
The Mountaineers answered
in the bottom of the sixth
inning to score the final two
runs of the game, though, to
earn the victory. Nick Zottoli
reach because of an error at
first base, allowing a runner
to round second and third for
the score. Matt Pingtore hit the
winning RBI with a sacrifice
fly to right field.
Welch and Ostrowski each
had hits in the top of the seventh, but the Rams couldn’t get
the edge, as the Mountaineers
held on for the 4-3 win.

Blackstone Valley Cats hoping to claw
their way to better CNEBA season
The big bat of John Burke, an Oxford native, will again be in the lineup for
the Blackstone Valley Cats.

Uxbridge native Mitch Goldman returns to the Blackstone Valley Cats this summer.
BY JON GOUIN
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
DOUGLAS — It was a bit
of a storybook first season
in the Central New England
Baseball Association (CNEBA)
for the Blackstone Valley Cats,
a team based out of Douglas,
last summer. As a first-year
squad in the hotly contested
college-aged and up baseball
league, the Cats finished in
fourth place, at 17-13.
Following a slow start, the
Cats put together a terrific second half to make their
push into the postseason, setting a league-high in victories
for first-year programs in the
wooden-bat league that was
established back in 1989-90.
Led by a number of local
standouts, the Cats advanced
past first round opponent
Lunenburg, two games to one,
after dropping a tough Game
1 shutout, 4-0, but showed
the resilience and drive they
displayed all season in coming back to win two straight.
Unfortunately for the team
who calls historic Soldiers
Field home, the season ended
in a second round two-game
sweep to eventual league champion Clinton.
This year, the Cats are
primed and ready to take the
next step in their evolution
with a new coach and some
key additions to the roster.
Scott Kennedy of Sutton High
takes over the reins from former player/manager D.J. Reed,
and team owner Dean Wagar
couldn’t be more excited.
“He’s a much respected high
school coach and I think he
brings a lot of knowledge to the
game for us,” Wagar said of the
new skipper during a phone
interview on May 5. “He took
that Sutton team from being a
weak program to having some
real good years.”
The Cats will need new additions to fill the void being left
by some big stars from 2015.
The impact felt by the loss of
Tyler Lamonda, of Auburn
High fame, will be tough to
cover, but adding Becker
College standout Joe Nicolace
and Sutton High bulldog Dylan
Jepsen just might be the remedy.
The two will figure to anchor
a formidable pitching staff,
one much like the Cats had a
year ago. This year figures to
feature some combination of
Jepsen, Nicolace, Mitch Paige,
Mitch Goldman and perhaps
former Oxford High ace Nick
Lemay or Spencer’s Oliver
Collette.
“I don’t think we’re going
to have many issues on the
mound, and defensively we
will be sound,” Wagar noted.
“We lost a couple decent bats,
but we feel like we have a lot
of guys who will keep us in
games, and we’re planning on
there being some excitement
Friday nights in Douglas.”
Offensively, the Cats return
a number of sparkplugs including leading hitter Anthony
Razzano, Joe Cortese and
Oxford’s John Burke. Ryan
Petrone of Leicester who was
great a year ago will be sidelined with a broken ankle for
much of this year, but the addition of Robbie Fraser — a former Northbridge High outfielder with experience winning
and playing hard-nosed ball —
figures to help the offense go.
While their 30-game schedule has yet to be finalized,
things will look to kick off
May 28 with a doubleheader
at Lunenburg, while the Cats
open at Soldiers on June 3 as
they host Shrewsbury at 6 p.m.
Any time the Cats are home
is a great time to catch some
top-rate baseball action and
the squad looks to be at home
on Wednesdays, Fridays and
Sundays this season.
“We definitely want to make
the finals and I think we can,”
Wagar said of his expectations
and goals for the team after
reaching the semifinals in year
one.

School Committee candidates make opinions known before election
FORUM
continued from page
1
“I believe that our
children are our future
and that I’ll always put
the children first in any
decisions that we make,”
Day said of her aspirations to become a School
Committee member. “I
purchased a home in 2006
in Oxford. I have three
small children in Chaffee
School. My experiences
there have been wonderful. All the teachers and
the principal and everyone is very supportive
there and I’d like to see
that brought throughout
all of Oxford.”
White’s twin seventh
graders are a little older
than Day’s, but White
said they have spent
their school career in the
Oxford system and will
be there until their graduation from high school.
An Oxford resident for 18
years, White has a chemistry degree from the
University of Glamorgan
in Wales and has worked
in biotechnology for
the last 20 years, most
recently at Harvard in a
research capacity. White
said he hopes to become
more involved in his community and get involved
in the conversations to
improve the school system and inspire pride in
Oxford.
“I think what I would
bring to the position is
just a different perspective,” White said. “I have
a different background
and my way of looking at
things is through a very
scientific method.”
The third and final candidate at the forum was
Karl Brown, a 20-year
resident
of
Oxford
whose twin children are
enrolled in the school
system in town as well.
Having been a member of
several groups and committees in the school system and said it’s something he has enjoyed.
He said if elected he will
advocate for all children,
whether they need basic
or special education, and
help provide opportunities for them to become
a productive part of the
community.
“As a School Committee
member it’s not all about
just being a budget policeman. Fiscal integrity and
being budget conscious
are important, but it’s not
the only thing in these
difficult times. Being able
to work collaboratively
with the unions, administrative staff, town elected officials and various
committees is vitally
important also,” Brown
said in his opening statement. “It’s also important in today’s world to
do our best to partner
with both industry and
retail corporations so we
may utilize some of their
education or vocational
opportunities that they
may be willing to explore
with our schools. It’s also
necessary to open and
be willing to investigate
innovative programs and
ideas.”
The candidates were
questioned about several different issues in the
town in terms of education, including policies,
the significance of foreign language teachings
and the teaching of practical skills. One of the
first topics covered however was the integration
of creative teaching and
hands on projects into
the education processes
in Oxford, which each
candidate said they support heavily.
White said he has seen
the benefits of hand-on
learning in his own children and he believes it’s
a concept that every student in Oxford can benefit from.
“My own kids are in
seventh grade, so they’re
doing STEAM and a lot
of the learning there is
done through hands on.
Here’s a problem and
here’s what you’re trying
to start, figure it out. I see
it myself in my work. You
can look at a board all
day long, you can listen
to lectures all day long
but when you get in a lab,
that’s when you learn.
So I think that’s a great
approach,” White said.
Brown also spoke from
his own experience, saying he knows through
his professional life the
value of learning through
hands-on programs. He
too stated clear support
for integrating such
teachings in the schools.
“I’m a vocational education graduate so my
whole education was
based on hands-on learning. I find it more rewarding and the children learn
easier,” he said. “Also
what I think it does, especially in today’s electronic world, is it helps them
build social skills. As we
can all admit we see children becoming more and
more introverted just
paying attention to their
screens. When they’re
interacting with small
groups it forces them to
learn social skills.”
Day said she believes
hands-on learning is the
best way to learn and that
if Oxford were to incorporate more of those
teaching methods in
the schools the students
would not only learn better, they’d would enjoy is
more.
“My own personal
experience throughout
my education, the best
way to learn is actually
by doing it. That’s how
you learn,” she said. “I
think they do a good job
through school with the
groups projects and getting that out and I know
that in Chaffee their
working on and just
received a grant to kind
of integrate that with
Boston Public School so
that they learn in groups
and by doing and building things. I think it’s
extremely important.”
The candidates were
also questioned about
their thoughts on the
implementation of early
education opportunities
through preschool classes
and while the candidates
questioned the ability o
feasibility of mandating
such a course in Oxford,
they did show respect to
the impact earlier educational opportunities can
have on the young generation to prepare them for
higher grade levels and
expectations in schools
today.
“Preschool I feel is
vitally important. It
helps our children. It gets
them used to the schedule and also we’re there
for early intervention in
case their may be some
children who may be
slightly on the autism
spectrum or something
where our professionals
can pick that up,” said
Brown. “With any luck
they can get the special
training early and be able
to get integrated with the
regular classes, which
is extremely important
and in the long run saves
the town a tremendous
amount of money.”
Day spoke from experience, saying she feels
earlier education opportunities are needed these
days for children to be
ready for even kindergarten courses.
“This is a topic I know
a lot about because my
son is in preschool right
now,” she said. “You
have to go to preschool
nowadays just to be
ready for kindergarten.
They expect you to read
and know all the letters
before you get there so
if you don’t have that
skill before you get to
that point you’re already
behind. Although I don’t
think it would be possible in the budget to get a
mandatory preschool initiated, but it’s important
for parents to get their
children kindergarten
ready.”
White agreed on the
importance of providing early education in
schools and spoke to how
this also helps provide for
students whose parents
are working their own
jobs and may be unable to
find the time to provide
those educational opportunities in the household.
“A lot of families have
two parents working.
They’re not home all day.
A lot of the caregivers
will try to provide stuff,
but if the town can afford
it they should provide it.
It’s a good start for the
kids,” he said.
As always, the concept
of sports in school was a
big topic of discussions
this election season, and
all three candidates presented respect and an
understanding for the
significance of sports
in schools. Considering
Oxford Middle School
lacks many sports programs, the candidates
each made their case
for why sports should,
or shouldn’t, be made a
priority for the Oxford
School District going forward.
“Sports are obviously important for many
reasons. They help with
the children and bring
the community together.
Unfortunately in these
tough times with budgets it’s like everything,
it’s a very tight balancing act,” Brown said. “I
would actually love to
see our schools get a little more involved with
sports for special needs
children. I think that’s
something that’s becoming more and more popular and frankly I see that
bringing the community
together also.”
White said he agrees
that sports are important and also said that the
town needs to understand
it can’t break the bank to
make the programs happen.
“I love sports. My kids
are playing with the
Oxford-Webster Pirates
football and they’ll be
playing 8th grade football next year. They’ll
transition to the high
school. I’ve seen changes last year in the high
school. There were so
many people going to
the games. It was brilliant. It was the whole
‘Friday Night Lights’
thing going on and it was
cool,” White said. “This
doesn’t happen back in
Ireland. It’s great and it’s
really important, but the
one thing is it shouldn’t
be a detriment to other
things. Don’t cut sports,
but also if it’s a budget
issue don’t cut something
else because you want the
sports.”
Day said sports are
extremely important to
the educational process
and believes Oxford is
a truly dedicated sports
town. She said she hopes
adding sports back to
Webster Middle School
and supporting such
programs
financially
is something the public
would be willing to back.
“As you can see just the
last season in basketball,
it brings people in and
makes you want to get
involved as a community
when that is highlighted,” she said. “I think it is
important that we do provide that for everybody.
I personally sign my
kids up for everything
because that helps with
their socialization skills.
It should be important to
everybody.”
The three candidates
are all hoping to see their
name at the top of the list
on Election Day as the
single vacant seat will
be filled on May 17. The
full forum and the candidates’ responses to even
more questions from
the floor and the public
at large can be found

cated to building up their academic success, but are invested in the school. This is their
family, their community. They
want to make Bay Path a better
experience for themselves and
everyone else.”
To apply, students have to
put together a “binder of evidence,” write an essay and collect letters of recommendation.
There is a five-person faculty
council that reviews the applications and accepts the members who have proven that they
qualify.
To qualify, students need
a minimum 85 average. The
council looks for four values
— scholarship, service, leadership and character.
Said McNamara: “We look
for kids who have done community service, either here and
school or in their towns. We
look for kids who have taken
leadership roles in the school,
like student council or captains
of sports teams or done work
for teachers. We look for kids
who talk in the essays about
why NHS is important to them
and how they want to make the
school better, what ideas they
have.”
NHS is a community service
organization all about taking
these high achieving students
who want to be leaders in the
community and giving them an
opportunity to help others, said
McNamara.
“We try to hold a lot of events
in and out of school,” she continued. “We have done blood
Bay Path juniors from the National Honor Society.
drives this year. We raised
money for polio vaccinations
through the rotary club. We
had a food drive to help the
Webster Food Bank. We did a
jeans drive that will be for the
charity Sole Hope, which sends
recycled materials to Uganda
to make shoes for underprivileged children.”
The students also do “little
things” around school. The
Friday before February vacation, the NHS kids go around
putting compliments on all
the lockers in the school. It’s a
“little thing,” said McNamara,
“but it makes it a very nice
day. The kids came in and got
a great compliment to start
their day. We do really big
things with a huge impact, or
something small like passing
on a moment of kindness. It’s
always fun.”
Being a part of the NHS helps
out the school and the community, but it’s also a way to set
NHS members apart from the
National Honor Society sophomores.
pack. It’s another way to make
students competitive for college or the workforce by showing that they have held themselves to a high standard and
have given back to the community as a teenager.
“The ceremony is a good
way to start off the next generation of NHS kids,” concluded McNamara. “It’s a family
within our Bay Path family.
It shows them all the places
they could go. It’s also nice and
gives seniors the opportunity to
thank their family and people
within the school who helped
them get to graduation. It’s a
really nice moment. Every student who got to graduation had
someone else helping them out,
which is nice to see.”
Olivia Richman can be

“Being in the NHS shows our students are really dedicated to building
up their academic success, but are invested in the school,” said Eileen
McNamara. “This is their family, their community. They want to make
Bay Path a better experience for themselves and everyone else.”

Help your mother prepare for retirement
Mother’s Day was last weekend, so
many were recently shopping for the
flowers or candy for Mom.
But this year, why not also go beyond
the traditional? Specifically, if your
mother is still working but getting
close to retirement, consider providing
her with a gift that can help make her
days as a retiree more pleasant.
Here are a few suggestions:

he feels that if other articles

there would be less confusion from those attending the

Growing natural insect repellents
Summer will be here before
we know it, and along with the
warm weather will come evenings of mosquitos, ants and
flea invasions.
But, don’t run out for the
insect spray yet. Summer bugs
don’t have to turn your outdoor
parties into an itching marathon if you combat the buzzing
biters with strategic planting.
Now is the perfect time to plan
to plant some natural insect
repellents.
With public concern about
chemical repellents escalating,
growing crops of natural insect
repellent plants and flowers is
quickly becoming a first choice
for many. Mother Nature’s bug
deterrents are not only effective, they add beauty to the
landscape and outdoor living
space. Read on for the rundown
on what varieties best chase
away lawn and garden pests.
Note: Some herbs and plants
are poisonous if applied to skin
or ingested. Be aware of what
you are planting (also check
with local nursery or garden
center on which plants are dangerous to pets).
***
Marigolds & Mosquitos:
Bright, brassy marigold buds
command attention in the garden, but it’s their distinct odor
that deters mosquito and other
pesky bugs from invading their
space. Marigolds do double
duty when planted in pots and
placed on decks and porches.
The sturdy flowers not only
add a pop of bright yellow and
orange to an outdoor space;
they are extremely effective
at keeping bugs at bay. Easy
to grow, potted marigolds are
always on duty, and they can
easily be moved at leisure to
keep insects away.
***
Sho Fly Yarrow: Yarrow,
which also grows wild, is another effort free bug deterrent that
is not only a hard worker, but
a looker too! Yarrow’s fern like
leaves and forever budding
white flowers offer a complete
season of fly control. For a double dose of bug repelling properties, fill bottles with sprigs of
yarrow with a few marigolds
mixed in. Use this “bug-off
bouquet” as a centerpiece, or
scatter several around during
outdoor gatherings.
Yarrow also repels ants,
making it a favorite plant with
backyard picnickers. Spread
leaves and flowers in areas
where ants are found.
Note: Do not plant yarrow
near where pets congregate as
the plant can be poisonous to
animals.
***
Catnip: Not Just for Fluffy
Anymore: Catnip is very easy
to grow, and the hardy perennial requires practically no attention! Cats love it, but mosquitos don’t. In fact, a 2010 report
by entomologists at Iowa State
University revealed catnip is
ten times more effective than
the highly controversial chemical DEET in repelling mosquitos! Fast growing catnip
thrives planted in the ground
or in container pots, which
makes it an ideal candidate to
battle the buzzing insects. Try
growing catnip in long deck
rail pots to literally surround
the outdoor sitting area with
natural mosquito repellent.
Here’s how to take catnip to
the next level of deterrent: a
catnip bug spray!
To do: Harvest strong stalks
of catnip with leaves. Pull off
the leaves and process them
in a food processor until they
resemble pulp. Place catnip
leaves in a saucepan. Pour two
cups of boiling water over the
catnip and allow it to steep for
about 15 minutes. Strain the
leaves out. Pour into a spray
bottle and allow to cool in the
refrigerator. Spray clothing
to repel mosquitos and other
pesky insects.
***
Lemon Balm Citrus Bomb:
Another very easy to grow
herb, Lemon Balm has a
refreshing citrus fragrance,
but its claim to fame is its natural insect repellent properties.
Lemon Balm grows quickly
and is at home in the garden or
in pots. Pluck leaves and scatter in areas where insects are
bothersome. Or, simply crush a
few leaves and rub on arms and
legs to keep mosquitos away.
Take
the
Hint
KAREN
TRAINOR
An effective Lemon Balm bug
deterrent spray can be easily
made by picking Lemon Balm
leaves (add catnip also if you
like) and stuffing them in a
mason jar. Pour witch hazel
(available at drug stores) over
the leaves to cover. Screw on
the lid and allow to steep in
a cold, dark place for one to
two weeks. Strain out leaves.
This infusion concentrate can
be used to whip up several bottles of bug repellent. Simply fill
a small spray bottle or mister
half way with the infusion and
add water to fill. Use as you
would any commercial insect
spray.
***
Lovely Lavender: Lovely
lavender has many virtues,
not the least of which is the
ability to deter mosquitos and
other insects. Clumps of lofty
Lavender grown near outdoor
sitting areas offers a delightful seasonal fragrance, and
it’s these same natural oils
in Lavender that aid in keep
the insect population away.
Lavender is also hailed for its
ability to repel fleas and ticks,
which is yet another reason to
grow it near where pets gather.
Lavender grows tall and thick
in patio pots, making it an
excellent choice for container
growing.

Citronella Scents: Most people are aware that Citronella
is a main ingredient in natural
mosquito repellents, including
candles and oils. But the best
way to reap the bug busting
benefits of Citronella is to grow
it in the garden, as it is strongest in its natural state. A quick
growing grass, Citronella can
grow several feet, making it a
great privacy plant. Planting
Citronella grass in large pots
on a deck or patio provides a
dual purpose: as a natural (and
eye appealing) privacy screen
and an effective bug deterrent.
While it’s debatable whether the growing leaves release
enough of their deterrent oils
to do a satisfactory job of keeping bugs away, it is a proven
fact that crushing the grass is
an excellent way to release the
oils, which means you can simply crush the leaves and apply
directly to skin.
***
Tansy: The Good Weed:
Tansy, which is a weed, traces its history as an effective
mosquito repellent to the
Middle Ages to modern times.
Modern research confirms oil
from the plants is successful in
deterring the insects. In fact,
Tansy was such an advantageous herb for its antibacterial properties that in the 1600s
it was deemed a “necessary”
herb for gardens of that era.
Tansy, which is related to the
sunflower grows wild many
regions of the Northeast. The
weed’s strong aroma enhances
its insect repellent properties.
And, the weed is often planted
as a companion plant in organic gardening to repel insects
from crops.
Nicknamed
“Golden
Buttons,” the weed is both
adored and abhorred. Loved
for its daisy like flowers and
medicinal and repellent properties, and disliked due to its
habit of invading the garden
with Tansy “weeds.”
***
Pennyroyal Makes Fleas
Flee: Pennyroyal, a member
of the mint family, is another
plant that has been used to keep
insects away for centuries. The
plant is especially successful at
repelling mosquitos and fleas.
Mother Earth News reports
pennyroyal stems stuck in
your hat and pockets really
will repel gnats and mosquitoes, noting dog owners often
see their dogs rolling in pennyroyal patches, and dog instincts
can usually be trusted.
The magazine also recommends scattering dried pennyroyal leaves around pets’
bedding area, and rolling up
some fresh stems in your dog’s
bandana before hiking in the
woods. (Mother Earth also
notes pennyroyal oil used in
flea collars has largely been
phased out because it caused
miscarriages in cats, so only
use the fresh leaves. If a pet
or person could be expecting,
don’t use pennyroyal at all.

Repellent

each of catnip; lavender; mint
(spearmint or mint)
Directions: Boil one cup of
water stir in four tablespoons
of herbs above. Cover and allow

the resulting liquid with one
cup rubbing alcohol. Dispense
into a spray bottle cool. Strain
herbs and mix the resulting
liquid with one cup rubbing
alcohol. Dispense into a spray

A memory on Mother’s Day
I’d like to preface by saying this is a
reprint of an article I wrote last year.
This article got more responses than
I ever thought possible and have felt
so touched by so many of my readers’ stories back to me. Throughout the
past several months I have received
requests for this story again because
they wanted to relate. So many of my
e-mail recipients equated this story of
mine to how they have felt about the
mother figures in their lives. So I decided to reprint this.
It’s funny how the smallest things
can spark a memory. I remember being
young, and being the light in my grandmothers’ life. Now, 30 years later, I
still can smell the perfume she would
wear, taste her cookies, and feel her soft
carpet under my feet as I ran barefoot
around her house. My Nana was the
most important lady in my life. She
was truly an inspiration. She was the
caretaker for her 3 younger sisters. One
with crippling MS, another with disease related mental retardation, and the
third just a baby. She joined the Navy to
be a medic, and was a WAVES (Women
Accepted for Volunteer Emergency
Service) in the 1940’s in WWII. After
meeting and marrying my grandfather
she finished her schooling, and was
a dental hygienist for as long as I can
remember. She worked hard and was
still the classiest woman I knew. There
was always a starched and pressed
tablecloth on the table. Even just for
breakfast the table was fully set with
all the correct cutlery and dishes. Her
house was always spotless down to her
baby grand piano being perpetually
dusted. Every bed was made with hospital corners, a bed spread, and a pillow

upstairs in that nursing home, and it
looked like her, smelled like her, was as
beautiful as her, but it wasn’t her.
Many years later I went to visit her
again. My son was a toddler and I had
to muster up the courage to see her. I
wanted my husband to meet the woman
who impacted my life so strongly. I
wanted her to see her great grandson.
She sat barely moving. She didn’t know
how to eat anymore, speak anymore,
and do much of anything anymore. I
took some pictures and hugged her and
we left.
That was the last time I saw her. And
as tough as it was, I knew her spirit
died a long time ago. She was so bright
and vibrant, that is how she would
have wanted me to remember her. She
passed away a year ago. It was so hard
but finally she was at peace. We keep
her picture up, her jewelry is shiny and
well kept in the beautiful sterling jewelry box she gave me many years ago, and
we named our daughter after her. I had
to stop being sad for her and smile at
the person she helped me become. I feel
happy when I think of her and we keep
her spirit alive in our home all the time.
Whether it is a recipe she used to make
that I put my own spin on and make it
for my family, or displaying some of
the many beautiful trinkets that used
to be hers. I smile when I hear classical
music, or take my own family to the
museum. I remember her, I love her,
and I smile for her every day.
It’s funny how the smallest thing can
spark a memory. And it’s a good feeling
to turn anything sad into something
amazing. Here’s to you Nana, wherever
you are.
Should everyone own a home?
realtor’s
report
JAMES
BLACK
The answer: Not necessarily.
Keep in mind this article is
just my opinion. I think home
ownership is great and as
Chief Economist Lawrence
Yun predicts that in 2016 the
net worth gap will widen even
further to 45 times greater for
homeowners over renters. Be
aware that not at every time
in your life is the right time
to buy a home. Let’s say you
just moved to a new area and
only expect to be there a couple years — it may make more
sense to rent. Rather than take
the risk of the market dropping
in those couple years and being
left with a home that you need
to rent out. This is assuming
you did not want to be a landlord.
Sometimes we get pressure
by the market and people that
care about us because interest rates are rising and prices are rising that we need to
jump in before we get priced
out. Yes, it does make sense
to buy at the best price and
interest rate. However, if you
have not had a chance to save
up enough money to get a down
payment and a reserve fund of
3-6 months of expenses in place
prior to buying the home, it
may make sense to wait. You
do want a broken hot water
heater or a leaky roof to bankrupt you.
At this point you can buy a
home with no money down and
some of the programs give you
a good rate but we also have
to make a decision to protect
ourselves even if the bank is
willing to loan us the money.

Travel down the rabbit hole and join
the Drama Club of St. Joseph School

Wonderland Jr.” See Alice, one of literature’s most beloved heroines, in her
madcap adventures. “Disney’s Alice in
Wonderland Jr.” is a fast-paced take on
the classic tale. The ever-curious Alice’s
journey begins innocently enough as

as she races the Dodo Bird, gets tied up
with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum,
raps with a bubble-blowing Caterpillar
and beats the Queen of Hearts at her
own game!
A chorus of kids playing in the park,
rock lobsters, talking fish, royal cardsmen, unbirthday partiers, as well as a
group of mean-girl flowers, will thrill
and amaze you.

Free Yoga Classes for Cancer Patients
— Restorative yoga classes for cancer
patients are offered weekly and are open
to patients, survivors, and their families
or caregivers. Classes are held every
Saturday morning from 8:15 to 9 a.m. at
the Oxford Community Center, 4 Maple
Road, Oxford, and on Wednesdays from
noon to 1 p.m. at Saint Vincent Cancer
& Wellness Center, One Eaton Place,
Worcester. The Restorative Yoga program is a complementary therapy that
is designed to help reduce lymphedema,
increase range of motion, and soothe
neuropathies that may occur during
all stages of treatment and recovery.
This program also promotes relaxation,
which is a vital element in healing, as
it brings emotional and physical relief
from stress through moving meditation and gentle yoga stretches. These
programs have been made possible
through PinkHippy.Org, a 501(c)(3)
non-profit holistic service and support
organization that serves breast cancer
patients, survivors and their families
throughout Central MA, Northeastern
CT, and Northwestern RI. Classes are
free for those undergoing treatment or

balance, increasing flexibility, muscularity of hip and legs and increasing
range of motion with our “rear view
mirror” twists. We work through the

leave renewed. Chair Yoga is open to
adults of all ages. It is kept light-hearted
with respect for every member of the

now and work to improve its overall
health. We come to class as individuals and leave as family. Get to know
yourself through the eyes of Chair Yoga

How to sell books of coins
As a member of the NAA (National Auctioneers
Association) and an “expert” on coins and currency, I often receive inquiries about coins from other
auctioneers. They occasionally get coins in an estate
they’re handling and they want to know the values
and whether there are any particularly valuable ones that they should
sell separately.
One recent inquiry was from a
good friend in Georgia who has two
blue Whitman albums: a Mercury
dime (1916-1945) album and a silver Washington quarter (1932-1964)
album. He said that the majority of
the coin were circulated, especially
the early dates. My advice to him
the same I would give to my
reasures was
other clients…
On the dime album, look for the
in our
key dates, including the 1915 D, the
1921 P (no mint mark) and 1921 D,
ome
the 1942/1 P and D. Most often collectors filled the coin openings in
PAUL JOSEPH
the albums by pulling out coins they
found in circulation. This was not
difficult as silver coins commonly
T
Y
H
circulated until the government replaced silver coins
with clad (copper-nickel cladding over a copper core)
in 1964. Most of the early silver coins had been heavily
circulated by this time so the dates and mintmarks
are often hard to read.
Of the key dates noted, the only one I would get
certified by a grading service is the 1916 D because
there are quite a few counterfeits in the market place.
Counterfeiters would remove a D mintmark from a
Mercury dime of later years and add it to the reverse
of a 1916 Philadelphia dime, which had no mint mark.
However the style of the D mintmark used in 1916 was
unique. Experts can tell if the is an incorrect style.
In addition, the counterfeiter often did not place the
added D in exactly the right location.
For the 1916 D and the 1921 P and D Mercury dimes
let’s assume a grade of Fine 12. The value of a counterfeit is zero dollars to a collector. A 1916 P is valued at
$4.75; a genuine 1915 D is at $1,965. While the value for
other Mercury dimes after 1921 is between $2 and $4,
the 1921P is $80 and for the 1921 D it is $145. The 1942/1
dimes are commonly found in grades of VF 20 or
better, so let’s value coins of that period at EF (Extra
Fine). Common date Mercury dimes between 1940 and
1945 are worth about $5-$9. However, the 1942/1 P is
worth $500.00 and the 1942/1 D sells at $485.
For the Washington quarter album there are only
three readily available rarities…the 1932 D and S, and
the 1934 and 1937 DDOs (double die obverses). Let’s
look at the values of these coins in two grades: VG-8
and VF 20. Common date Washington silver quarters
are worth between $5 and $7 in VG and $6-$9 in VF.
But the 1932 D in each of those grades is worth $80 and
$115. The 1932 S is worth $80 and $110. The 1934 DDO’s
values are $40 and $90, while the 1927 DDO’s values are
$100 and $300.
My advice to the auctioneer was to get the 1916 D
certified and graded professionally and sell the other
key dates separately from the albums. The bottom
line is, if your selling complete sets, make sure you
know what key dates you have and double check them
because collectors have been known to put non-key
date coins unto key date holes in albums.
In our next column we’ll take a look at other key
date coins found in complete or nearly complete
albums.

HEALTH
Color Helps People With Diabetes Take The
Guesswork Out Of Blood Sugar Test Results
People with diabetes should test their blood sugar regularly and use that information to help make lifestyle and
therapy adjustments, as recommended by their doctor. Now, that can be easier to do.
(NAPS)
Color has long been used to
help communicate important
information when it matters
most. In fact, people process
color before they’re even consciously aware of it.
Now, it’s being used in an
innovative way to help peo-
ple with diabetes. The new
OneTouch Verio Flex blood
glucose meter with ColorSure
technology uses color to take
the guesswork out of understanding test results. This can
be good news for many of the
nearly 30 million Americans
with diabetes who regularly
test their blood sugar to detect
highs and lows and work with
their healthcare professional
to make therapy and lifestyle
adjustments as needed to stay
healthy.
Color Brings Clarity
With each test, the meter uses
blue, green or red to instantly
show whether a test result is
low, in range or high. This can
Five Eye Care Tips
A few simple suggestions can help you see better, longer.
(NAPS)
The National Eye Institute (NEI)
reminds you to make your eye health a
priority and encourages you to take five
important steps to protect your sight.
Get a dilated eye exam. Getting a comprehensive dilated eye exam is the only
way to know if your eyes are healthy
and you are seeing your best. Talk to
your eye care professional about how
often you should have one.
Live a healthy lifestyle. Eating
healthy foods, maintaining a healthy
weight, managing chronic conditions
and not smoking can lower your risk of
eye disease.
Know your family history. Talk to
your family members about their eye
health history. It’s important to know
if anyone has been diagnosed with an
eye disease, since many are hereditary.
This will help to determine if you are
at higher risk for developing an eye
disease yourself.
Use protective eyewear. Protect your
eyes when doing chores around the
house, playing sports, or on the job
to prevent eye injuries. This includes
wearing safety glasses, goggles, safety
shields, and eye guards that are made
of polycarbonate. Talk to your eye care
provider about the appropriate type of
protective eyewear for your sport or
job. Make a habit of wearing the appropriate type at all times and encourage
your teammates and coworkers to do
the same.
Wear sunglasses. Wear sunglasses
outside to protect your eyes from the
sun’s ultraviolet rays. When purchasing sunglasses, look for ones that block
out 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and
UVB radiation, so you can keep your
eyes healthy. Prolonged exposure to
sunlight can increase your risk for getting an eye disease like cataract or
age-related macular degeneration.
These steps can help you keep your
eyes healthy and prevent vision loss
and blindness from eye disease.
For more information, visit www.nei.
nih.gov/healthyeyes.
“Every Town Deserves
a Good Local Newspaper”
www.508Local.com
be particularly important if the
result is low and the person
needs to recognize and respond
to low blood sugar quickly.
The low and high range limits
set in the meter can be customized for each patient based
on a healthcare professional’s
recommendations.
In a clinical study of 99
patients conducted in October,
2014, 93 percent agreed that the
simple color range indicator of
the meter helped them easily
interpret their blood glucose
readings. This is key because
understanding what your
results mean is the first step in
making better decisions about
your diabetes management.
The same study also showed
that 70 percent of patients
agreed that the meter’s color
range indicator could encourage them to test their blood
sugar as often as their healthcare professional recommends.
More For Those Who Want It
While the OneTouch Verio
Flex meter has broad appeal
as a simple meter on its own,
for patients looking for additional capabilities, it also features built-in Bluetooth Smart
Technology so it can wirelessly
connect with the companion
OneTouch Reveal mobile app
available free for both Android
and iOS mobile devices.
In combination, the meter
and app help patients manage
their blood glucose on the go…
in the moment and between
office visits.
Balancing Simplicity With
Understanding
“Research shows that ease of
use remains a very important
reason for meter selection by
a majority of patients, while,
at the same time, one third
say they can’t make sense of
their blood sugar results,”
says Dr. Jeremy Pettus,
Endocrinologist and Assistant
Professor of Medicine at the
University of California, San
Diego. “The new OneTouch
Verio Flex meter is designed

Daily Rituals Can Help Or Hurt
A coffee shop-quality beverage you can make at home, Chocolate Almond Coffee has only 21

(NAPS)
If you’re like most people, you have
your own personal rituals. Some people can’t start the day without their
favorite newspaper, an early run or a
warm shower. Personal rituals are comfortable and, in many cases, automatic. Unfortunately, a familiar ritual can
sometimes turn into a bad habit. When
you find yourself habitually reaching
for junk food or scrolling through your
phone before going to sleep, it may be
time to re-evaluate your routine.
Certain rituals can affect not only
your day, but potentially your life, so
it’s important to make choices that help
you stay balanced.
Keeping Your Habits In Check
When bad habits form, many people don’t realize they might be slowly
putting themselves at risk for serious
health conditions. Even small changes
in your daily schedule can have surprising benefits. Consider the following:
•
Are you missing opportunities
to be active? Try walking or biking to
work, choosing the stairs and taking
breaks from sitting at your desk.
•
Are you working too much?
Prioritize your work-life balance. If
you’re staying an extra hour at the
office each day, consider delegating
work or discussing expectations with a
supervisor. Make time outside of work
to embrace your hobbies.
•
What are your sleep habits?
Turn off the TV and avoid looking at
your phone once you’re in bed. A con-
sistent sleep schedule will help you fall
asleep faster, have a better night’s rest
and feel energized throughout the day.
•
How’s your diet? Nearly 30 million people have diabetes, 95 percent of
them type 2, a condition affecting the
way the body processes blood sugar.
You can make smart and flavorful substitutions by swapping out sugar for
Equal 0-calorie sweetener in your coffee, tea and other beverages. Sweetener
substitutions can help reduce sugar
and calorie intake without sacrificing
sweetness in your daily treats.
•
Can you cut down on costs?
Often, people spend more than they
realize on the little things. Try bringing your lunch to work. Enjoy a coffee
shop-quality beverage at home. Because
it’s sweetened with great-tasting Equal
0-calorie sweetener and only 21 calories
per serving, it’s a drink you can feel
good about.

HEALTH
Brain Health Registry: Speeding
Path To Alzheimer’s Cure
(NAPS)
The statistics on Alzheimer’s
disease bear witnessing. The
prevalence of the condition
is estimated to triple by 2050,
growing from 5.3 million today
to 16 million. It is the sixth
leading cause of death in the
United States and the fifth leading cause of death for those
aged 65 and older.
And costs for the disease are
taking a toll: In 2015, caring
for those with Alzheimer’s was
estimated to be $226 billion,
with half of the costs borne
by Medicare, according to the
Alzheimer’s Association. By
2050, the cost of Alzheimer’s
could jump to $1.1 trillion (in
2015 dollars).
That makes Alzheimer’s disease ripe for breakthroughs
in prevention and curative
treatments. The Alzheimer’s
Association says that new
treatments for the disease
cannot be discovered without
clinical trials, which are seeking tens of thousands of volunteers, both with and without
the disease.
Getting On Board With
A Registry
One of the easiest ways to
participate in a clinical trial for
Alzheimer’s disease is through
a health care registry, which
matches individuals to clinical
trials. The Internet-based, free
national Brain Health Registry
launched in 2014 is one such
registry. With 40,000 current
members, its goal is to double
the number in 2016.
The Brain Health Registry
aims to reduce the cost of
patient recruitment for clinical
trials by building a large online
pool of potential candidates.
Once volunteers are registered on the site, they complete questionnaires about
basic demographics, health,
lifestyle and medical history,
along with cognitive tests and
a consent form on the Brain
Health Registry website, www.
join.brainhealthregistry.org. The National Institute on
Aging makes a strong case for
participation in clinical trials:
•
Help others, including
future family members, who
may be at risk for Alzheimer’s
disease.
•
Receive regular monitoring by medical professionals.
•Learn
about
Alzheimer’s and one’s health.
•
Test new treatments
that might work better than
those currently available.
•
Get information about
support groups and resources.
The state of research for
Alzheimer’s pales when compared to other diseases. In
2011, the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) spent only $480
million on Alzheimer’s, while
cancer research received about
$6 billion, heart disease, $4.2
billion and HIV, $3.2 billion.
Alzheimer’s Affects More
Women, Minorities
Alzheimer’s disease affects
a disproportionate number of
women, African Americans
and Hispanics, as well as older
adults over 65. Two-thirds of
the 5.1 million people currently
suffering from Alzheimer’s disease are women.
Unfortunately,
African
Americans represented 12 percent of the U.S. population in
2011 but only 5 percent of clinical trials, and Hispanics comprised 16 percent of the population but only 1 percent of
clinical trial participants.
A recent University of
California at Davis study
shows that despite a congressional mandate that research
financed by NIH include
minorities, nonwhites comprise fewer than 5 percent of
participants in NIH-supported
studies.
The FDA’s Office of Women’s
Health identified major barriers to minorities: lack of disease education; insurance
status; patient inconvenience
costs; unavailability of transportation; distance to a study
site; and patient and family
concerns about risk.
You Can Help
To help increase participation
in clinical trials and help speed
the path to cures, people are
encouraged to join the Brain
Health Registry for free at www.
join.brainhealthregistry.org.
TV star Linda Gray, among millions with friends or family members affected
by Alzheimer’s disease, hopes a PSA she made will encourage others to
support and sign up for a clinical trial registry.
Making Laser Vision Correction Surgery
Affordable—A Look At The Options
(NAPS)
With more than 600,000
procedures taking place
every year, laser vision
correction
surgery—
such as LASIK—remains
an extremely popular
option for adults interested in reducing or
eliminating the need for
glasses or contacts to see
clearly. With an average
price of $4,500 for the
most advanced procedure, many people interested in LASIK are often
challenged to find a way
to pay for it. Here are
a few suggestions from
the American Refractive
Surgery Council:
• Of course, if
you have enough money
on hand, paying for the
procedure yourself is
naturally the simplest
option. You can feel good
about investing in LASIK
knowing the cost of glasses and/or contact lenses over a lifetime is far
greater than the one-time
cost of LASIK.
• Many
LASIK
practices offer payment
plans for procedures.
Some programs are interest-free for a set period of
time, but make sure you
understand all the terms
related to the amount you
borrow.
•
Although most
insurance policies don’t
cover elective eye surgery, you should always
check with your insurance company to confirm
your specific coverage
and benefits. There are
a few policies that offer
coverage or discounts
for vision correction surgery.
• Credit options
Glasses and contacts aren’t for everyone, which is why thousands of Americans are looking into ways to pay for LASIK.
may help make LASIK
affordable for you now
and allow you to pay back
the money you borrow
over time. Some credit
cards with no or very low
interest rates and other
attractive offers such
as no-fee balance transfers can help you pay for
your procedure over time
without incurring additional expense. But, as
with any credit decision,
make sure you understand all the terms and
that it fits within your
budget.
•
Your job benefits may include access
to Flexible Spending
Arrangement (FSA) and
Health Saving Account
(HSA) programs that
allow you to set aside taxfree money for your procedure. By using tax-free
funds to pay for LASIK,
you effectively reduce
the overall cost of the
procedure. However, for
the tax year 2016, the IRS
limits an individual to up
to $2,550 in an FSA and
up to $3,350 in an HSA,
which likely won’t cover
the cost of LASIK, but
will help. Married couples and families have
a higher contribution
limit, $6,750 for an HSA.
Your company’s benefits
manager can advise you
on the specifics of your
programs.
•
Choosing to pay
for your vision correction with cash gifts from
family or friends, a tax
refund, or bonus allows
you to turn a financial
windfall into a significant
lifestyle benefit: excellent
vision.
•
Depending upon
your medical expenses
for the tax year, you may
be able to deduct some
or all of the cost of your
LASIK procedure, which
can help make your
vision correction surgery
more affordable. Laser
vision correction procedures are a qualified
medical deduction if you
meet the requirements,
but confirm the facts of
your specific situation
with your tax professional.
The cost of LASIK is
a significant amount of
money for most budgets.
Weighing the options for
paying for laser vision
correction surgery can
help you see how this
one-time
investment
in excellent vision has
important lifestyle and
financial benefits.
