Rams bounce back with victory over Millbury - Stonebridge

BY THOMAS MATTSONTRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

REGION — Retirees of the for-mer Whitin Machine Works arewell aware of the country’sfinancial crisis but, in general,they say it has not yet affectedthem.

A good many one-time work-ers at the textile preparatorymachinery giant have been hold-ing an annual get-together for anumber of years now, organizedby Edna L’Esperance, ofLinwood.

The former employees who

showed up for a dinner Oct. 8 atthe New England Steak House inMendon ranged in age from 61 to95.

Whitin Machine Works was akind of capitalistic/socialisticenterprise in which the owners,the Whitin family, took care ofthe minutest needs of theirworkers, from installing lightbulbs in company housing tomowing their lawns, not to men-tion providing apartments atprices almost laughable today.For example, in the 1960s, evenafter Whitin had sold off all of

its housing, rents in a place likeNew Village ranged from $25 to$45 a month. The higher figurewas for an apartment of perhapsseven rooms — three stories anda basement with a 13-foot ceil-ing. Residents had easy access toMeadow Pond down below,where whole families broughtkids and dogs in an idyllic set-ting, but in February the windoff the lake blew through thegaps in the clapboards.

NORTHBRIDGE — TheNorthbridge Rams, smarting from asetback the week before, pulled off adazzling aerial attack to overcome astrong Millbury team, 33-14,Saturday, Oct. 11, at Lasell Field.

The win leaves Northbridge at 4-1overall and 2-1 in Division 2 West.Millbury, 3-2, is 2-0 in Division 2East.

The game was a lot closer than the19-point spread might lead one tobelieve. Nevertheless, Northbridgesenior quarterback Zach Zidelis hadone of his finest passing games, hit-ting five receivers for five TDs and344 yards. It tied his previous schoolrecord as a sophomore and also thatof Peter Peloquin. The completionsand strikes gave the 6-5 senior sig-nal-caller a total through the sea-son’s first five games of 1,025 yardson 62 completions in 109 attempts,with 11 touchdown passes. Big jun-ior tight end Casey Hippert snagged7 passes for 97 yards and two TDs,versatile junior flanker BenRichards grabbed three for 95 yards

and a TD, speedy senior split endMike Padro caught four passes for 74yards and two TDs and up-and-com-ing junior tailback Sean Clark gath-ered in five passes for 74 yards.Junior Ryan Mahoney, who has hadsome good days rushing, caught onepass for seven yards and added 29yards on eight carries.

Millbury really playedNorthbridge toe to toe. The Rams’first string played the whole gameagainst an explosive Woolies’ teamled by senior quarterback BuckyRichards, power runner BrandonRichard, senior wide receiverBrandon Perkins, slick-runningback Joe Franchi, back and line-backer Brad Tervo and wide receiv-er Brandon LaCrosse.

The Rams’ first scoring drivestarted off with Matt Consigli inter-cepting a fourth-down Richards passat his own 10. Hippert took a shortpass and after four yards lateraledthe ball to a trailing Mahoney, whoran it 26 yards down the right side-line. He added seven yards to the

UXBRIDGE — Alice Bridges is a woman oflarge accomplishment and few words.

The resolute Olympic swimming championsomehow combines grace with strength in herface. And as a crowd of 50 gazed at this 92-year-old, onetime international ambassador ofgoodwill for America last Saturday, Oct. 11,they must have remarked on the autumn back-drop of trees turning color and the reflectionsof different hues off the surface of the slow-moving Mumford River and its postcard falls.

But there was something majestic in the faceof this woman, as if that had more to do withbeing a champion than sheer physical strength,even given the fact she had the power of youthas a 20-year-old from Uxbridge when she gaineda bronze medal in the women’s backstrokeevent at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.

UXBRIDGE — Please join The Trustees of Reservationsat the opening of its 100th reservation, Cormier Woods, a175-acre farm located on the border of Mendon andUxbridge from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18.

Bring family and friends and be among the first to walknew and enhanced woodland trails, learn about the nativegrasslands and rich cultural history of this iconic farm,and enjoy free ice cream to the sounds of local folk bandBlackstone Run. This event is free and open to the public.

Visitors may be intrigued to explore several miles oftrails looping through a wooded landscape, laced withstonewalls, some large glacial boulders marking the lastice age, and cellar hole remnants of the old White home-stead. Some may even reap the bounty of an informal“pick-your-own” activity at the blueberry patch andorchard trees that remain in the meadows.

Cormier Woods was bequeathed to The Trustees as a giftfrom D. James Cormier. The largely intact farmstead land-scape consists of an 18th century house, barn (with anactive bat colony), and shed surrounded by stone walledmeadows. These features help tell the story of modestfarmers settling the Colonial frontier and later immigrantgroups working the farms, which supplied the industrialenterprises spread along the Blackstone River.

“As The Trustees’ first reservation in the BlackstoneRiver Valley, we are excited to open Cormier Woods to thepublic and join the network of other protected open spacein the town and region,” said Mike Francis, superintend-ent. “The foresight of James Cormier will enable us toenjoy this special place forever.”

“As our cherished landscapes face increasing pressuresthat threaten to change the character of our communitiesforever, Cormier Woods can serve to inspire others to con-tribute to and support conservation,” added Anne Mazar,Mendon Land Use Committee chair and local conserva-tion advocate.”

• Directions: From Uxbridge, take Route 16 to BlackstoneStreet and follow for .6 miles. Turn left onto Chapin Streetand follow .7 miles to Cormier Woods at 217 Chapin St.

BLACKSTONE VALLEY TRIBUNE • 3Friday, October 17, 2008

BY ANDY LEVINTRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

UXBRIDGE — UniBank President and CEO KennethRedding sat down recently with the Blackstone ValleyTribune for a question and answer session in hisWhitinsville office.

In the first of a two-part series, Redding spoke about hisearly career as an accountant, his keen interest in local gov-ernment (including six years on the Uxbridge SchoolCommittee), and UniBank’s unique niche in the region. Healso touched upon the unfolding credit crisis that has rockedWall Street, a subject he delves into more deeply this week.

Editor’s note: In the introduction to the first interview, weerroneously made reference to Redding as UniBank’s chair-man and chief operating officer.

BVT: Does either one of the two major political partiesdeserve most of the blame for the mortgage/credit crisis?

KR: I really don’t think that it’s a Republican or Democratissue. Both groups, as well as the mortgage lenders — andconsumers who took advantage of products that they knew,or should have known, that they couldn’t afford — are all atfault for where we are today. It’s a mess. Having said all that— that’s Wall Street. This is a much larger problem than itwas in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Back then it was thebanks that were doing speculative construction lending…this way surpasses that. This is speculative lending on amassive scale by Wall Street, putting together investmentvehicles that were based on mortgages that didn’t have thevalue.

BVT: Are local banks feeling a direct impact from the crisis?KR: People need to take comfort that the community

banks — UniBank, Webster Five, Savers Co-op — thesebanks are solid and they have great capital. Not only are thedeposits insured by the FDIC but, beyond that, every nickelis insured here by the Deposit Insurance Fund ofMassachusetts. No customer of any savings bank inMassachusetts has ever lost a nickel as a result of a bankfailure. That goes back to the days of the Great Depression —I think 1934. The local banks, the community banks —they’re strong and your money is safe. That should give peo-ple confidence… at the end of the day, the banking system isreally built on the confidence of the people who deposit here.I’m reminded of an old ‘Beverly Hillbillies’ episode: Grannywalks in to see Mr. Drysdale. Jed had just handed her a checkfor $40 million and she wanted to cash it. Well, the banksdon’t have $40 million in cash; we don’t put it in the vault.While ultimately she could get her $40 mil-lion in cash, she couldn’t draw it out thatsame day. So it’s that kind of confidence thatpeople have to have — that the $40 million isactually there when they need it. We will pro-vide it, but may not be able to come up with itthe same day in cash.

BVT: Do you believe that government has amitigating role to play in the crisis?

KR: The ramifications [of doing nothing]would be devastating and we would go fromthe current recession we’re in to a depressionthat could last quite some time and couldtake several years to dig out of. I don’t thinkany of our local banks would fail as a resultof this. You here that the big banks don’t haveany money to lend — we’ve got plenty ofmoney to lend. We are lending every day andwe continue to lend every day. We have gottena fair amount of inquiries from people whohaven’t looked at us in the past, but are look-ing at us now. That’s a good thing. But theramifications of letting these [big banks] goand letting them get crushed — there will notbe anybody in this country who wouldn’t beimpacted in some way, shape or form. Take[American International Group], for exam-

ple: In some way, some how, I’m sure you are connect-ed with AIG and you don’t even know it. Whether it’ssome insurance policy or something else — it’s sohuge and its tentacles so far-reaching that everyonewould be impacted in some way.

BVT: How do you feel about the notion of certainhigh-ranking Wall Street executives receiving lucrativecompensation packages after leading their firms tofinancial disaster?

KR: I agree that departing CEOs should not be get-ting millions of dollars — golden parachutes — whenthey leave these companies; that’s outrageous that itshould even be considered. These people, whetherthey were actively involved or passively involved,were the captains of the ship when the ship sprung aleak and they shouldn’t be able to take the moneywith them when they go out the door. Candidly, theAmerican people are certainly angry at the idea thatthe big ‘fat cats’ of Wall Street have created this messand walked away with hundreds of millions of dol-lars.

BVT: You saw this mess coming a long time ago, didn’t you?KR: I’m on the board of the American Bankers

Association, which is the largest trade association representing banks across the country. For at least the last 10years I have been heavily involved with going down toWashington and trying to work on the governmental affairsagenda of the banking industry from a nationwide perspec-tive. We have been fighting for getting a strong regulator forFannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the federal home loanbanks for at least 10 years. Each and every year we put forward legislation to do that and each year the politicalinterests were such that there was no will to move it forward.So this isn’t something that someone should have woken upovernight and said, ‘Oh, my God! Fannie and Freddie are sobig, what are we going to do?’ The reality is that the politicalpower that Fannie and Freddie have in Washington made itsuch that they were a pretty formidable foe to getting anylegislation passed. These are agencies that grew well beyondwhat they should have grown, were under-regulated andresisted any attempts to have a strong regulator that wouldhave discovered some of these problems that existed longago. I can tell you categorically that the banking industryfought mightily to try to get those regulations in place.That didn’t happen.

Somewhere between theTina Fey “Saturday NightLive” spoofs, the GOP con-

vention speech, and the KatieCouric interview, I lost track ofSarah Palin.

Sure, she promised to takeevery aspect of our nation’s cri-sis and look at it, and then askherself: What would a maverickdo? and then do it… Or was thatFey in the mock vice presiden-tial debate? Seems I can’t remember, with“Saturday Night Live” taking parts of Palin’sactual interview transcripts and using themverbatim on the show… Fey even admittedrecently that her own young daughter sawPalin speaking on TV and pointed, saying,“Mommy!”

There are three Sarah Palins hangingaround our country currently: the spunkyand strong woman who spoke at the conven-tion in September, the extremely confused-looking subject of recent interviews, and thenthe Tina Fey version, which is some mix ofthe other two and a great dash of satire.

As a voter committed to neither theDemocratic nor Republican party, I’d like toask the real Sarah Palin to please stand up.Seriously. I want to like her. I really do. It’seven been suggested I dress up like her forHalloween, though the only resemblance Ibear to her is that I am female, have brownhair, and sometimes wear glasses.

But that’s just the problem. You see,Halloween costumes should be somethingyounger people — my 13-year-old brother, forexample — should be concerned with, notsomething Sarah Palin is dragged into.

Come to think if it, maybe she should bedragged into it. Didn’t the real Barack Obamaappear as himself (complete with an Obamamask) at the faux Clinton Halloween party on“Saturday Night Live” last year?

The more I think about it, the Sarah Palinthing might actually work out. You see, backin the fourth grade, the then 10-year-old broth-er really, really wanted to be a sumo wrestler.So my parents bought him a blow-up costumecomplete with a fan inside so the poor little

guy wouldn’t overheat, and youknow what the kid does? He out-grows the darn costume by nextHalloween. That’s breaking oneof the Golden Reardon Rules —never throw anything with aslight amount of potential useout. Anything. Those brides-maid dresses my mother wasforced to wear in the ’80s, thatshe was told were great in col-ors, that she could definitely get

some use out of in the future? Well, she didget some use out of them — they became aprincess costume for my then 5-year-oldyounger sister and hot pink, wide-leg geniepants for my 8-year-old self… that we wore forthe next five years.

Anyway, after the wasted one-year-onlysumo fiasco, the second Golden Reardon Rulebecame: don’t get a costume that costs morethan $19.99 — especially not in the currenteconomic crisis. That’s why the whole Palinthing might work out for me — I’ve alreadygot a pair of maroon heels from Target, askirt suit somewhere, my trusty glasses, andI’m pretty sure I can do the whole hair poofthing she does if I try. I’ve also been practic-ing my Alaskan accent, Tina Fey-style.

The 13-year-old brother, on the other hand,isn’t getting a new costume. For the entiretyof his middle school career he has been a cowfor Halloween — black spots and all, a littleheadpiece tied on like a baby bonnet, withquestionable udders — because it was on thebargain rack at some discount chain. Hisrequest for a $50 hot dog costume has beenrepeatedly denied. And while he may current-ly be disillusioned enough to think the jury isstill out on that count this year, I’ll burst hisbubble and let him know in my best SarahPalin voice that you betcha, little bro, it justain’t gonna happen.

But, I’ll tell him as I adjust my glasses andwink, that he should get maverick-y in there,and ruffle some feathers — and also, too, thegreat Ronald Reagan…

Would the real Sarah Palin please stand up?I’d hedge my bet that a lot of uncommittedvoters’ decisions depend on that.

When you know you are beyond AndyWarhol’s 15 minutes of fame is whenyou are Treasury Secretary Henry

Paulson and you simply frown and the stockmarket drops 800 points.

That is power.What has been shocking about the stock

market collapse is how psychological it all is.Many of us thought of Wall Street as cold-blooded. It turns out it is more emotionalthan certain television channels that cater tonothing but missing children and celebritydivorces.

I just hope itdoesn’t turnout that theg o v e r n m e n tbailed out somehuge compa-nies and notothers becausecertain highofficials had alot of stock in the ones that were saved.

It appears the widest effect of the financialcrisis, now global in nature, is the lack ofliquidity. In other words, the fact banks lackthe confidence to make loans to each otherand to the public appears to be causing a bot-tleneck that is keeping money from flowing tocompanies and individuals. The latter in turnhave no way of growing and therefore ofspending and creating jobs. And in manycases it is an impetus to sheer retrenchmentof the kind Jimmy Carter urged on the nationin the late 1970s.

I doubt we are ready to restrain our yen formaterial things. If that ever happens, I thinkit will because it is forced on us. Unlike somesocieties and cultures, we Americans aretaught to think anything is possible. That ispart of the American Dream — that the nextgeneration will be better off. But now, in manycases, it is going the other way. The sons anddaughters of the middle class more and moreoften find themselves in that amorphousfinancial situation of being neither in the for-mer, secure middle class nor anywhere nearthe federal government’s poverty cutoff.

Part of the reason for this state is thevolatility of the U.S. market since 1995

I remember exactly when the current reces-sion began — and I call it that although tech-nically it only became a recession untilrecently. But I recall January 2000, as the startof the downward spiral. I know that is sobecause it was at that time middle managersin large corporations, who had received com-pany stock in lieu of cash raises, put in fortheir chips and had to wait six months to cashin the stocks. Of course they knew thatJanuary what their stocks would be worth sixmonths later. A lot of smaller Enrons hap-pened throughout the country. Probably bil-lions of paper assets vanished into thin air.

The reason the nation at large was unawareof this trend was that the housing bubble con-tinued right up into 2006. Everyone said it wasthe housing market that kept the Americaneconomy above water. And there had beendips in the housing market before, even siz-able downward trends — in the late 1980s andearly 1990s, and up through the mid-1990s.

There was a time in the early 1980s when ifyou painted your front door, you felt you weremaking a lot of money because in one of thoseyears the market value of housing went up 26percent in Massachusetts. At the same time,in 1982, the Houston market was tanking, withempty apartments by the hundreds.

It was California that showed the way withthe first post-World War II housing boom.When an average house in Massachusetts wasselling for maybe $35,000 in the mid-1970s,they were going for $100,000 in California. Weall just figured: “Hollywood and all that.”

Houses in the Blackstone Valley worth$30,000 in 1975 jumped to $120,000 in 20 years.Then, by 1995, they came back down to $95,000or $100,000. Another decade went by and thosesame houses doubled in market value.

My father, who remembered the GreatDepression, never trusted volatile markets.But in my day, most financial advisers exceptthose few conservative ones taught the nationthat equity was as good as cash. It has turnedout not to be the case.

But at the same time college tuitions are outof sight. And, although not as many housesare selling these days, the ones that do seem tocommand a good price. Which seems strange.But it may be that what looks like a good priceis in fact way below what the house cost sevenor eight years ago,

If you listen to the financial pundits a lot,you might think of stocking up on cannedgoods and containers of water and headingfor the hills.

However, the fabric of society does not seemto have unraveled yet.

Here are some signs of an impending majorsocial revolution: People abandoning cars andriding bicycles to work; three generations of afamily living under one roof, some withexpansions, some not; more and more parentsteaching their children in the schools whilethey, the adults, also seek new skills, so thateveryone in a family is learning; churchesabandoning huge structures and building tab-ernacles in pine forests like the one on theDouglas Camp Meeting grounds; growingmore of our own food.

OPINIONWhile airborne, thoughts take flight

THE BLACKSTONE VALLEY TRIBUNE: SERVING YOUR COMMUNITY SINCE 1949

During the second leg of aseemingly endless flightback to Boston after an oh-so

relaxing week in Aruba, a lot ofrandom thoughts made their waythrough this writer’s mind. When,of course, they weren’t interruptedby the wailing of an obviously dis-contented infant.

Most of my thoughts were domi-nated by our recently concludedhoneymoon, with things like politics and the Major LeagueBaseball playoffs sprinkled in forgood measure.

First and foremost, however, wasthe flight home.

If you were a fan of the latecomedian, George Carlin, maybeyou remember his hilarious skit onthe peculiarities of travel by flight.

Indeed, if you’ve ever gone from one place to another by plane, you’ve experienced yourown peculiarities.

I, for instance, found it quitepeculiar when the captain of ourparticular flight out of Miamiinformed his passengers that takeoff was being delayed because “a mechanic was fixing an item onthe plane.”

An item? What kind of item? Itseemed quite an important detailto me. Was it just a little screw orwas he fixing, say, an entire wing?

I had taken a Xanax and downedit with another pill for motion sick-

ness, so you’d think I’d have beenall set. Not the case. The pilot’s lit-tle announcement snapped me intoa state of sobriety that lasted theentire flight home.

Which meant I was acutelyaware of the woman sitting direct-ly behind me, who might have beengiving birth for all the bumping,kicking and moving she was doing.There would be a moment of seren-ity and calm and then — wham! —a kick to the back. She was, I con-cluded, committing assault againstmy poor, defenseless seat.

I contemplated, only briefly,rotating in her direction and applying a firm, but non-injurioussmack to the side of her head with my complimentary in-flight magazine.

Also peculiar was the messagethreaded on the backs of each seat,which informed passengers to “fas-ten seatbelt while seated.”

Well, that would only makesense. How could you do it standing up?

I found it peculiar when theflight attendants let us know thatour entertainment for the flight,the Kevin Costner flick “SwingVote,” was complimentary — if, ofcourse, you purchased the neces-sary headphones for $2 apiece.

Color me confused, but doesn’tthat make the entertainment notexactly complimentary?

Of course, there were compli-mentary drinks — the non-alco-holic kind. Snacks could be pur-chased, which my wife and I did —inhaling a can of potato chips anda big cookie. You gotta love the big cookie.

Once comfortably settled atcruising altitude, those randomthoughts took flight — and took mymind off both the screaming infantand the seat-kicking womanbehind me.

•••With two political debates out of

the way (this was before the secondpresidential showdown), if youwere keeping score it wasObama/Biden 2, McCain/Palin 0.Not by a wide margin, mind you,but Obama did the one thing he’sgood at — debate well. Bidenscored points for realizing thatattacking Palin wouldn’t fly. So hehammered home the McCain/Bushargument, to which Palin didn’t

respond as vigorously as she might— and should — have.

•••If you’re going on a honeymoon,

or perhaps a special vacation, andif you’re a diehard Sox fan, avoidtraveling during playoff time. Mywife was well aware of my alle-giance to the men in red and white.Nonetheless, it’s hard to explain toyour newly betrothed why you’resitting with a half dozen other menin front of a big screen TV in thehotel lounge, while she is poolsidewearing the ring you had slippedon her finger days earlier.

•••The Wall Street bailout carries a

lot of pork and is by no means along-term solution. It was, howev-er, sadly necessary — and accept-able, too, only if we, as consumers,finally wake up to the reality that,as a whole, we are living waybeyond our means.

•••Question: What’s the over/under

on Nancy Grace every moving onto a topic other than the now infa-mous “tot mom” of baby Caylee?

•••Tina Fey is dead on as Sarah

Palin, who in turn could probablydo a mean Tina Fey.

•••No worries in Aruba? Hardly.

Try waking up each day to thesame, predictably warm weather

and deciding whether to go to thecomplimentary breakfast buffet orsleep in and catch the complimen-tary lunch. Tough choices, myfriends, tough choices.

•••As a tourist, you spend an arm

and a leg in Aruba. And, if youswim on the wrong side of theisland, you might risk losing theremaining two limbs. I’m told theyfeed the sharks on that side to keepthem away from all us fattened uptourists floating in the water on theother side.

•••It’s a gorgeous island, Aruba.

Poor, too, other than the touristtraps. But it is practically teemingwith friendly folks — most, ofcourse, angling for your money.

•••One more note about the flight

back home: On the first leg — fromAruba to Miami — I had the dis-tinct privilege of sitting behind aman I think might have been carry-ing the SARS virus. He coughed somuch he finally took a mask — thekind you’d use to cover your eyeswhile sleeping — placed a tissueinside of it and wrapped it aroundhis mouth. Then he coughed him-self to sleep.

To be a liberalMy name is Art and I

am a liberal. I writethis not as an apolo-

gy, but as a starting point toexplain my own views onwhat it means when I say I ama liberal.

It may be slightly differentthan what people say whenthey call me a liberal. It is cer-tainly different than when Iam called a communist or asocialist. That is except whenmy father-in-law calls me acommunist, because for himthat is a term of endearment,albeit a sarcastic one.

I remember first beingdrawn to the liberal point ofview when I was very young.The first president I remem-ber well is John F. Kennedy. Imay have read “PT 109”before his brother Bobbydied. I remember waking upto the news that Bobby hadbeen shot. I remember cryingand my stepmother telling methat I could not understandwhat I was crying about. Iwas in the fifth grade and twodays before we had conducteda mock election in my class-room. By this time, Dr.Martin Luther King hadalready been murdered. I was

very aware of the VietnamWar. I knew why I was crying.

I remembered my fatherwatching Jack Kennedy ontelevision, an old black andwhite, when we still lived inWoonsocket. I remember thefuneral procession and Iremember Jack Ruby shoot-ing Lee Harvey Oswald. Iremember.

I also know that I grew upquite poor prior to moving toUxbridge. I know that I washelped throughout my younglife by dedicated teachers inUxbridge, by a priest who isstill a good friend of mine, bymy father and my stepmoth-er, and by all the parents inmy neighborhood. I was for-tunate, and feel that thesepeople collectively, workingtogether whether they knewit or not, saved my life.

One could say that the lastparagraph supports less gov-ernment, not more govern-ment. Apart from the schoolexperience, which is publiclyfunded, the rest of my earlyinfluences were not.

My father bought ourhouse on a VA loan. Withoutit, he and my stepmothercould not have afforded the

home. The mills in the areawere beginning to falter, andovertime was not availableand sometimes my parentswere laid off. During thattime, one or both of my par-ents would collect unemploy-ment. Unemployment insur-ance was invented by liberals.It was through no fault of myparents that the economy wasgoing bad and that yarn jobswere being sent to otherplaces.

When it came time for myhigh school graduation, Icould not afford to go to col-lege. I enlisted in the Army,ostensibly for the GI Bill. TheGI Bill was a liberal inven-tion. The GI Bill helped me toafford to finish my bachelor’sdegree and pursue my mas-ter’s degree. I had to take outstudent loans to finance mygraduate degree. Studentloans are also a liberal inven-tion.

My wife and I bought ahome through the GI Bill.Without it, we would not havebeen able to afford it, espe-cially at the high interestrates of the late ‘90s.

Before and after gettingmarried I worked in human

services. Particularly, I pro-vided support to persons withdevelopmental disabilities.The work I have done isimportant because it allowspersons with disabilities topursue a life and work oftheir own choosing. In thesame way we all desire free-dom and respect and worth,my life’s work has been dedi-cated to expanding these val-ues to all persons.

“What do our opponentsmean when they apply to usthe label ‘Liberal?’ If by‘Liberal’ they mean, as theywant people to believe, some-one who is soft in his policiesabroad, who is against localgovernment, and who isunconcerned with the taxpay-er’s dollar, then … we are notthat kind of ‘Liberal.’ But ifby a ‘Liberal’ they meansomeone who looks aheadand not behind, someone whowelcomes new ideas withoutrigid reactions, someone whocares about the welfare of thepeople — their health, theirhousing, their schools, theirjobs, their civil rights, andtheir civil liberties — some-one who believes we can

break through the stalemateand suspicions that grip us inour policies abroad, if that iswhat they mean by a‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud tosay I’m a ‘Liberal.’

— John F. Kennedy, Sept. 14,1960

Most of the programs weassociate with liberalismtoday began with Franklin D.Roosevelt’s New Deal. Theseprograms include FDIC, orthe Federal DepositInsurance Corporation. Whotoday is not glad that FDIC isaround? Also,

ed above will be dismissed bysome who read this as pro-grams for other people. Butmost of these programs bene-fit us all. For me, some ofthese programs filled in themost challenging parts of mylife and enabled me to gethealth care, food, and educa-tion.

October is Celiac MonthIt seems like every disease

has a month or week desig-nated to raise awareness

about a condition so that peopleunderstand, obtain treatment,and perhaps donate to seek acure. Even though I am deeplyinvolved in health care, I didn’tknow about Celiac Disease untila few years ago when my latemother-in-law was diagnosed.Anita had known for some time that some-thing was wrong with some of the things sheate, but her doctors determined only a fewyears ago that the cause was Celiac disease.It’s essentially a type of allergy to anythingmade with wheat. Once we knew about the disease, we met local officials, clergyand others who have the disease and have

to be very careful what they eat. It’s not anew disease!Celiac sprue disease was first described inthe second century, but it wasn’t until the20th century that rudimentary causative factors were identified. Terminologychanged as research confirmed that celiacdisease diagnosed in children was the samedisease as non-tropical sprue diagnosed inadults. The term “celiac disease” is nowmost commonly used. Another term for the same condition includes “gluten sensitive enteropathy.”The symptoms of celiac disease (CD) vary so widely among patients that there is nosuch thing as a “typical celiac”. The amountof intestinal damage that has occurred and the length of time nutrient absorptionhas been abnormal seem to be the factors

that determine the type andseverity of symptoms expe-rienced. It is interesting tonote that some people withCD report no symptoms atall.According to C. RobertDahl, MD, “Celiac Disease:The Great MimicPresentation, “CSA AnnualConference, September

2000: “Celiac disease is one of the great mim-ics in gastroenterology in particular andmedicine in general. Of 100 patients withCD, just over 10 percent present with classi-cal overt symptoms of mal-absorption suchas weight loss, diarrhea and nutritional defi-ciencies. About 10 percent are incorrectlydiagnosed for some length of time, in somecases years. Forty percent present in anatypical manner, which leads to lengthydelay in diagnosis. About 33 percent ofpatients have clinically silent disease and 7percent have latent CD (no symptoms orsmall bowel lesion but will develop CD later,or had disease at an early age and resolved).”Increasingly, restaurants are offering“gluten-free” menus or meal options for cus-tomers with celiac disease. One of myfriends who is a Catholic priest has found achurch-approved source for gluten-freeCommunion Hosts.The Catholic Church’s Code of Canon Lawpermits priests to set aside a special winechalice exclusively for worshippers follow-ing wheat- or gluten-free diets. This eliminates the possibility of the hosts acci-dentally contaminating the wine. The

Canon Law also offers parishioners the alter-native of drinking only wine or consuminglow-gluten wafers.

But for many afflicted individuals, low-gluten wafers are not an option because evena tiny amount of the protein can triggerimmediate reactions. Recently however,another solution has been found thanks tothe patience and perseverance of two nuns, Sisters Jane Heschmeyer and LynnMarie D’Souza, of the Benedictine conventin Clyde, Missouri. Over two years of exper-iments they have developed a Communionwafer that has been approved as valid mate-rial for the Eucharist by the Holy See.With a level of gluten content of 0.01% it issafe enough for consumption by almost allceliac suffers, according to Dr. AlessioFasano of the University of Maryland andother medical experts. The U.S. bishops’Committee on the Liturgy has deemed thesisters’ bread “the only true, low-gluten altarbread approved for use at Mass in the UnitedStates.” Fasano called the sisters’ accom-plishment “very wonderful news,” but addedthat celiac sufferers should still consult withtheir doctors before consuming the newhosts. “In rare cases even 0.01% is still toomuch.”If you, or someone you know, is dealing withceliac disease and would like to do some-thing to help “get the word out,” CeliacAwareness Month, sponsored by the CeliacSprue Association, is the perfect opportuni-ty. The list of things you could do is endless.Here are some things you might try:

Join CSA through www.csaceliac.org or alocal chapter.

Share something positive about the diseaseand the diet with a new person.

Have a conversation with the manager ofyour local grocery store, explaining theimportance of the availability of gluten-freeoptions.

Visit with clergy regarding the definition fora strict gluten-free diet and the ramificationsof that for communicant members.

Give a program to an organization aboutwhat celiac disease is and how it is handled,both at home and away.

Request that CSA send brochures to doctorsand dietitians in your area.

Buy a CSA membership for a family mem-ber, health care professional or your locallibrary, guaranteeing that CSA’s quarterlynewsletter, Lifeline, is available to others.

Encourage local chapter members to join thenational CSA organization.

Contact the CSA office with your ideas andsuccesses. CSA is continually looking formore ways to help the celiac community.

Upland bird season has arrived in ValleyNow that the leaves have

started to fall from the treesand cool, crisp mornings

are the order of the day, uplandbird hunting is about to get intofull swing.

Pheasant hunting will open thisSaturday in Massachusetts and itis none to soon for many localsportsmen. Waterfowl opened thispast Wednesday, Oct 15. Pheasantare now the main species of birdshunted by upland bird hunters,although a few grouse and wood-cock are sometimes a part of a birdhunter’s daily bag. If the stateDivision of Fisheries & Wildlifedid not stock a few thousandPheasant annually, there would beslim pickings for upland birdhunters. It is the best the state canoffer as open space continues tofade — as does bird habitat.Hunting the few wildlife manage-ment areas in the state is your bestbet to harvest a pheasant becausethat is where most birds arestocked.

This year’s stocking programshould not change much from lastseason, and the quantity of birdsstocked in the area is also the same.It may be too late for this year tohave birds stocked in a possiblenew site in Uxbridge that was leftin the estate of the late JimCormier. His 100-plus-acre estatewas left to a land trust that does notprohibit hunting from what I wastold. I have asked the DF&W to getmore information for local sports-men.

• Goose hunting in the state blewwide open this past Wednesday aslarge flocks of birds started tomake their daily visit to feed onrecently cut corn fields. Green

grass and corn fields are the mainsource of food for the birds fromnow till the snow flies, at whichtime they are forced into unfrozenrivers. Ducks also opened Oct. 15,and as every duck season goes inthe central district it was downhillas far as action goes after the firsttwo days of hunting pressure.

• Archery deer season inMassachusetts opened this pastMonday, but with a lot of cover stillon the trees hunter success may bea bit slow unless you hunt theedges of the fields. Good deer runsleading in and out of swamps arenormally good spots to harvest adeer, but because of heavy rainsthis year many swamps are com-pletely flooded. Reports from sea-soned deer hunters claim they arechanging their hunting strategiesthis year and are also finding habi-tat that once held few deer are nowshowing good potential to harvest abig buck. It will only get better asthe deer season heads into the rut.Drivers of automobiles also need totake extra precautions when travel-ing at night to avoid a car-versus-deer encounter. If you see a deer,crossing, slow down and watch formore deer to cross, as often is therule. After harvesting a deer, besure to field dress the animal ASAPand keep the carcass cool until it iscut up for the freezer. If you are not

in good health, locate a familymember or friend to drag the deerto your car; too often the excite-ment takes over common sense andwhat was once a happy momentturns into a life-threatening expe-rience or even death. If you bag abig buck, let me know and I will behappy to publish it in this bi-week-ly column.

• Trout fishing is also providingsome action at Wallum andWebster lakes. The fall trout stock-ing has been finished by DF&W.The early fishing may be slow, butthe trout should become acclimat-ed to their new home and start tofeed more aggressively.

• Stripers are still slamming liveeels at the ditch at night with a 43-

pound fish being the largest for onelocal angler. Has anyone seen theMurray boys from Northbridge?You may not need to look far fromthe saltwater because this is thetime of year they contract the fish-ing virus of bass fishermen!

Bridges Bridge.“Thank you,” the guest of honor said in the

midst of comments by others. “I’m so happy tobe here. There’s a lot of love here.” She thanked“everyone who has made my life so enjoyable.”

Joseph Roche, her son, said his motheradvised him: ”‘Joey,’ she’d say, ‘always keepmoving. Just keep moving.’”

Her daughter, Peggy Rice, said her motherregularly swims a couple of laps back home inPennsylvania, where she moved after meetingJoseph Roche and embarking on a 50-year mar-riage, now with children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and even great-great grandchil-dren.

“We couldn’t have had better parents,” Ricesaid. “[Mother] walked every day to Pout Pond.That was where she got her early training. Itwas something she knew she could do.”

Later she trained more formally at the WhitinCommunity Center pool, so that Northbridgeorganization claims Alice Bridges, too.

Her mother was an alternate for the Olympicteam and when she was called up on the squad,Rice said, “This was her opportunity and shejust knew she was going to do it.”

“At first, she was No. 1 (in the Olympicevent),” her daughter said.

But the judges counseled together and decid-ed to give the first two places to Dutch women,with the bronze going to Bridges.

“The bridge will last many lifetimes,” Riceremarked.

“During the swimming trials in Beijing inAugust,” said master of ceremonies Sen.Richard Moore, D-Uxbridge, “news mediareported that big-event suspense hung in the airat the Water Cube for several seconds, for thespectators and swimmers alike. It wasn’t clearthat Michael Phelps won the 100-meter butterflyagainst Milorad Cavic of Serbia, in 50.58 sec-onds to 50.59, and had tied Mark Spitz’s leg-endary accomplishment of 1972.”

“Video replays were equally confusing andafter the scoreboard showed a ‘shocked’ Phelpshad won by the narrowest of margins, one-hun-dredth of a second, there was still this question:Did Phelps touch first or didn’t he? That ques-tion will likely be debated for years to come. Butvideo does not determine winners in swim-ming. It can be used to determine when there isa protest. But touch pads, the plastic sensors onthe wall, are the determining factor down to ahundredth of a second.”

“Rewind history back 72 years to theOlympics in Berlin,” Moore said, standingunder a tent next to the Mumford River, “Therewere no touch pads. There weren’t even videos

when Alice Bridges of Uxbridge and the UnitedStates of America finished the 100-meter back-stroke finals in just two-hundredths of a secondbehind the silver medalist Hendrika ‘Rie’Mastenbroek of Holland and only five-hun-dredths of a second behind the gold medalist,Din ‘Nida’ Senff of Holland. It was all the per-ception of judges — judges who weren’t espe-cially interested in seeing an American win inany event in Hitler’s Third Reich.”

“We’ll never know whether Alice Bridgesmay have actually won at least a silver medal,”he conjectured.

For Bridges even to have made the U.S. teamwas quite an achievement, Moore noted.Eleanor Holm Jarrett was supposed to compete,but she was dropped from the team for drinkingduring the ocean voyage to Germany. Thatopened the door for Alice Bridges to make TeamUSA. Funds were raised in a hurry to send heroff to Munich.

“One thing we do know,” Moore said, “is thatAlice Bridges displayed a tremendous amountof class. Even though she placed third, Aliceclearly remembers how she felt when they

raised the stars and stripes and she said to areporter: ‘Let me tell you, I never was so proudto see that American flag go up for little old meon that field… That American flag was in thirdplace, grant you, but it was the American flagand that was my country.’”

“Alice returned home to a hero’s welcome,began a 50-year marriage with Joseph Rocheand never swam competitively again. But 72years removed from that whirlwind summer inBerlin,” Moore said, “this great-great grand-mother still swims for exercise, and she stillexudes a great degree of class.”

“Today,” he said, “instead of gold, or silver, orbronze, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts isproud to honor Alice Bridges Roche with steeland concrete, stone and wrought iron.”

“In her youth as an Olympic medalist, Alicesought to bridge the animosity among nationsas the storm clouds gathered far across the sea,”Moore said. “So it is particularly fitting that thename of Alice Bridges will grace the bridge thathelps countless travelers, including many resi-dents of Alice’s hometown, to span the

Mumford River.”“It’s also fitting that this Capron Park node of

the Blackstone River and Canal Heritage StatePark — a park that remembers the proud her-itage of the Blackstone Valley — looks on abridge that salutes a woman who is indeliblyetched in the heritage of this town and region asa genuine Olympic hero.”

Uxbridge Selectmen Chairman Kevin Kuroscalled Alice Bridges Roche “part of Uxbridgehistory.”

Another prominent Uxbridge connection, hepointed out, was Lydia Taft, said to be the firstwomen to vote in the U.S. Moreover, he said,some Uxbridge granite was used in building theStatue of Liberty.

“Alice represents all that was really good inthis country, even in the struggle then,” Rep.Jennifer Callahan, D-Sutton, said. “You havebrought pride, prestige and honor to this coun-try,” Callahan told Alice Bridges.

Rep. Callahan spoke of legislative efforts toget the $500,000 allocation to complete the proj-ect. Two years ago Alice Bridges was also hon-ored, at the inception of the project. The com-munity thought it only proper that theBlackstone Valley’s only Olympic Medal winnerbe honored once again now that “her” renovat-ed bridge is a reality.

Former Whitin Machine workers comment on fiscal crisis

Blackstone, came as a guestof a Whitin graduate, but hisprofile was similar to thoseof many of the others at thedinner.

Williams spent 20 years inthe Air Force, then taughtscience at Blackstone ValleyRegional VocationalTechnical High School.

“The bailout has to proveitself,” he said. “It’s wakenedup the entire world. Othersare blaming the U.S. It tookus two or three years to findout [we had a major prob-lem]. There’s some suspicionabout the bailout. There area number of people whohave lost their stock.”

Father of three and grand-father of one, Williams saidthe only way the economiccrisis affects him now is thathe can’t sell his house.

William Pontes, also ofBlackstone, a mechanicalengineer, worked for a whileat Whitin before becoming aphysics teacher at ValleyTech, where he taught for 34years.

He said he thought thebailout was intended byPresident George W. Bush ashis “positive legacy.”

“And I don’t think it’llwork,” he said. “Somethinghad to be done. I’m notimpressed with the wholething. [The economy] doesn’taffect me.”

Donald Bigwood worked inWhitin’s foundry for 36years, from 1948 to 1983.

“I don’t like the bailout,”he said. “Nobody ever bailedout me.

Too many of those boysare losing money. Why bailthem out?”

“It doesn’t affect you,” headded. “I live week to week. Ibuy groceries once a week. IfI could give up eating, I’dhave some money.”

Mario Romasco, ofUxbridge, was a mainte-nance foreman 43 years atWhitin.

“I hope the bail-outworks,” he said. “The econo-my hasn’t affected me yet.”

Wayne Stinson, ofUxbridge, a former FinanceCommittee chairman in histown, worked in finance atWhitin, winding up as assis-tant treasurer there during a41-year career.

“The economy hasn’taffected me yet,” he con-curred with Romasco.

Ernest Wellman, 95, ofGrafton, worked in four dif-ferent departments atWhitin over a 45-year stint.He was a general machinist.He hits the local NorthGrafton coffee shop to chatwith friends these days. Hedrove his car up until a fewmonths ago. He has two chil-dren, five grandchildren andseven great-grandchildren.

Sitting together wereMargaret Racicot, ofUxbridge, and MargueriteSaviano, of Douglas, whoboth worked 44 years in cler-ical departments at Whitin.Pasquale Saviano, an electri-cian 44 years at Whitin, satwith them.

Margaret Racicot, who didthe payroll, said she didn’tthink the bailout would helpthat much. On the otherhand, she said the economydoes not affect her now, “butprobably will.” MargueriteSaviano worked in the sup-ply room and computerroom, retiring in 1986. Shesaid she is not affected by thefinancial situation, but issorry for other people.

Pasquale Saviano workedin maintenance and con-struction.

“We’re in bad straits,” hesaid of the economy. “I don’tknow how it will end up.”

“It’s not good,” saidStephen Stanick of thebailout.

He worked 33 years atWhitin, on the packing joband on the road with the saleof machinery. He traveled toMaine, New Jersey andConnecticut with thosetransactions.

“We don’t get everythingwe want,” he said of theeconomy’s effect. “Likegoing out on the weekends toeat, but we didn’t muchbefore anyway.” He has twodaughters and six grandchil-dren.

Joseph Menendez, 61, ofNorwood, worked in sales for11 years.

Of the bailout, he said:“There’s more to come, Iexpect.”

Menendez called thebailout “hateful but neces-sary.”

In his case, the economymeans he has to put offretirement.

Cam Gilbert, who workedas a machine operator 30years and was in quality con-trol, said he was against thebailout but agreed it wasnecessary

“The economy is notaffecting us so far,” he said,“but I think it’s going tocome.”

“The bailout was needed,”said Esther Albin ofUxbridge, who worked 40years as an executive secre-tary, “but it’s too bad execu-tives of many of the compa-nies took advantage of peo-ple. We could have avoidedsome of that.”

Even so, she said the econ-omy is not adversely affect-ing her.

“It’s a giveaway to thebanks,” said RaymondRondeau, of Arizona. Heworked five years at Whitinin the comber and drafting

departments, then went intothe Navy. Later, he workedmany years in Wisconsin.

“[Banks] had no businessmaking those loans,” hedeclared. “That’s whatderegulation does. It givesthem a license to screw thepeople. I still believe banksshould make sure incometakes care of payments.”

At the same time, Rondeausaid the economy hasn’taffected him.

His brother Paul Rondeau,who lives in Georgetown,worked as a youth for ninemonths in Whitin’s coalroom. He has worked in theheavy truck parts industryfor 35 years.

“They shouldn’t have doneit,” he said of the bailout.“Let the crooks die.”

He commented that heat-ing oil has gone up from$1,000 a year to $4,000. Thatis a real challenge for peopleon fixed incomes, he said.

SPORTSRams ride Zidelis’ arm to win over Millbury

Woolies’ 46. Zidelis then hit Clarkgood to the 15. On the next play,Zidelis flipped a screen pass toPadro in heavy traffic on the leftside just over scrimmage, and Padrozigged and zagged his way out of thecrowd, zipping 15 yards for thescore. The kick was wide, butNorthridge led, 6-0, with five min-utes gone in the first quarter.

At the end of the first period,Millbury pinned Northbridge downat its 13. Zidelis was sacked in theend zone by Woolies’ junior line-backer Brad Tervo and Northbridgegave up a two-point safety toMillbury. So it was 6-2, Northbridge,as the second period began.Northbridge then had to punt fromits own 20 and Millbury returned itto the Rams’ 42. Hippert stoppedRichards for a one-yard loss and onthird and 9 Richards threw a finepass just off the fingertips of hisreceiver in the end zone. TheWoolies then chose to punt on fourthand 9 and again pinned Northbridgedeep, this time at its own 8. AfterBen Richards punted 43 yards to theMillbury 35, the Woolies got goingand Bucky Richards threw a beauti-ful pass a long way downfield toBrandon Perkins for a 47-yard TD.Even though the PAT kick wasblocked, Millbury was suddenly inbusiness, leading 8-6.

With 3:36 left in the half,Northridge cranked up again, thistime starting from its 18. Zidelis hitSean Clark for 11 and then Richards,who streaked 39 yards down theright side to the Woolies’ 32. Zideliskept to the 29. Then, surrounded byWoolies and about to go down,Zidelis released a quick pass toHippert over the middle. He caughtthe ball and fought off defenders,keeping enough balance to carry itabout 10 yards into the end zone onthe 29-yard play. A conversion passattempt failed, but the Rams were ontop again, 12-8.

Brandon Richards then burstthrough the line for an apparent 65-yard TD, but an interference penaltyagainst Millbury nullified the playand action resumed with the ball onthe Millbury 15. Junior safety AndyGuy intercepted a long pass byRichards and returned it to theMillbury 43. Zidelis threw a low bul-let to Hippert to the 33. Hippert thenleaped high in a crowd to snaganother Zidelis pass at the Woolies’12. Greg O’Donnell carried to the 8.Then Zidelis flipped the ball toHippert over the middle, but he washit at the 7. So with fourth and 7 andseconds left in the half. Zidelis lofteda perfect strike to Padro just insidethe back stripe of the left end zone.Nicholas Ducey’s kick was good,and it was 19-8, Northbridge.

A short Northbridge runningpunt put the ball on the Millbury 39.

Soon after, Millbury, starting onits own 20, ran a pass and flea flick-er play that almost went all the way.A Northbridge tackler caught up tothe Woolie runner at the Rams’ 28. Abit later, positioned at theNorthbridge 18, Brandon Richardgalloped up the middle untouchedfor a score. The conversion passfailed, but the Woolies were showing

a lot of life and trailed by only five,19-14.

So now the game still hung in thebalance.

Zidelis connected with Padro on aplay that went to the Woolies’ 6-yardline. Hippert again leaped high, thistime near the right line of the endzone, somehow coming down withthe ball in a crowd for the score.

Ducey’s kick was good andNorthbridge had pulled away to 26-14. But there was still time forMillbury, with 1:43 remaining in thethird quarter and 11 minutes in thefourth. A few plays later,Northbridge started off from its 33.Hippert went up, fighting for theball and winning for a 21-yard playgood to the Millbury 35. A pass to

Clark moved the ball to a fourth and2 at the Woolies’ 26. The Rams wereoffside, so the ball was put back atthe 27.

Not to worry.Zidelis fired a textbook strike to

Ben Richards who took it in at thecenter of the field and went in forthe final score. Ducey’s kick made it33-14 for Northbridge.

Northbridge head coach KenLaChapelle said he thought both theoffense and defense put out a bal-anced effort.

“Millbury hit hard,” Zidelis com-plimented the visitors. LaChapelleexpressed a lot of respect for theWoolies. Bucky Richards is a con-summate football player who couldrun if he had to and displayed one ofthe best arms in Central

Massachusetts.Zidelis commented on how much

of a loss it was for Northbridgewhen offensive right tackle JohnPerro suffered a knee injury early inthe game. Millbury did a good jobharrying Zidelis but, as LaChapellesaid, it was his quick release thatenabled Zidelis to do well in spite ofthe Millbury rush.

On defense, captain Paul Wallenwas omnipresent, as well as CaseyHippert, Matt Consigli, Joe Rice,Kyle Bonet, captain Mike Padro,Ben Richards, Sean Clark, RyanMahoney, Andrew Guy and others.

LaChapelle noted the similarity inthe wide-open style of play of bothMillbury and Northbridge. He saidhe is comfortable with that kind ofmatch-up.

Try these Red Hot Cayenne TipsCayenne pepper. We all

know it charges upchili and puts the heat

in hot wings, but did youknow cayenne can boostweight loss, keep you warm,and even act as a natural pestdeterrent? The fiery spice inyour pantry cupboard is alsoa hot commodity in homeremedies, so read on for some“betcha didn’t know”cayenne tips and tricks! • FYI:Capsaicin, a property foundin chili peppers, is what givespeppers their heat. But thepower of capsaicin goes waybeyond a burning tongue andwatery eyes! Capsaicin, longhailed for its antibacterialand digestive properties, isnow being studied as a possi-ble weapon in the war againstcancer. Meanwhile, capsaicinloaded cayenne is earning itskeep on the spice shelf bytreating everything fromheadaches to sore throats!

Note: Cayenne peppershould not be given to chil-dren. Do not put cayennedirectly on skin. The follow-ing tips are offered as infor-mation only, follow your doc-tor’s advice before usingcayenne for health purposes.

• Fight off Flu: Cayennefans claim a daily dose of this"immunity tonic" boosts theimmune system, thus ward-ing off colds, flu and other ill-nesses. To make, mix onequarter teaspoon of cayennepepper into an eight ouncecup of water (or tea) and addlemon if desired.

• Hot Stuff: Or, if you dare,mix up this red hot drink,touted as a “natural antibiot-ic” as well as an immunebooster: Stir one half tea-spoon of cayenne pepper intoten ounces of tomato juice.For a quicker version simplyadd a few shakes of Tabascosauce into tomato juice. Users

claim drinking this elixirtwice a day enhances physi-cal and emotional health.

• Cure a Sore Throat: Torelieve a sore throat, squeezea half fresh lemon into a half-cup warm water. Mix onetablespoon of salt and onequarter teaspoon of cayennepepper. Gargle three timesper day until pain is relieved.Do not swallow this mixture.

This remedy, attributed toDr. Jane Guiltinan, chiefmedical officer at JohnBastyr University NaturalHealth Clinic in Seattle, issaid to also relieve coughs

and fight viral infections.• Halt a Headache: Cayenne

pepper is a proven painreliever, especially forheadaches. It is said cayennedilates blood vessels toimprove circulation. Beforeyou reach for a pain killer,you might want to try this:Mix one half teaspooncayenne pepper in six ouncesof water and drink slowly.

• Soothe Sinuses: For gener-ations, cayenne has been usedas a remedy to clear a headcold and relieve congestionand sinus pain. All it takes isa dash or two of cayenne pow-der in a cup of hot tea (prefer-ably with honey and lemon)to do the trick!

• Rev it Up: We’ve all heardthat hot foods can boost themetabolism, but how muchdoes it take to do the job?Researchers at OxfordPolytechnic Institute inEngland have figured it out.

According to their studies,one teaspoon of red peppersauce (cayenne) and one tea-spoon of mustard taken withmeals can increase the metab-olism as much as 25 percent!

• Tummy Trouble: To easegas and tummy cramps andhelp promote proper diges-tion, mix a quarter teaspooncayenne into a cup of hotwater and drink as a tea. Ifyou want it to act as a diuret-ic, take it as a cold tea.

• Cold Feet: A favorite tip ofold time ice fishermen is tosprinkle a little cayenne pep-per between two pairs ofsocks to keep feet toastywarm. Sprinkle the pepperover a thin pair of socks(never directly on skin).Then pull on a second, thick-er pair, so the pepper isbetween the two layers.

• Repel Pests with Pepper:For generations, gardenershave been using this trick to

keep wildlife and domesticpests out of the garden: Mixtogether in a large paper gro-cery bag, one part cayennepepper, two parts dry mus-tard powder, and four partsflour. Shake the bag to distrib-ute ingredients thoroughly.Sprinkle generously in gar-den beds. Mixture must bereapplied after watering.

Uxbridge football back on winning trackSPARTANS DOMINATE TO DEFEAT LEICESTER, 24-7

BY NICK ETHIERSPORTS STAFF WRITER

UXBRIDGE — The Uxbridgefootball team opened their sea-son with a 14-6 win over WestBoylston, then suffered threeclose and tough defeats in arow: 14-8 vs. Bartlett, 20-14 atdivision rival Nipmuc, and 14-7at division rival Millbury. Toget back on the winning track,Coach T.J. Raeke had his sightsset on three straight divisionalhome games vs. Leicester,David Prouty and Oxford.

The Spartans accomplishedpart one of three Saturday, Oct.11 with a convincing 24-7 victo-ry over the Wolverines.

“We’ve been talking aboutgetting ourselves going andgetting on a roll,” Raeke said.“We’ve played some reallytough games. We played well,but we just didn’t get over thehump. We’ve been talkingabout working towards the endof the season because we havetough opponents coming upand we want to make surewe’re ready.”

Uxbridge improved itsrecord to 2-3 overall, and 1-2 inDivision 2 East. Leicester isnow 0-5, 0-3.

The Wolverines opened thescoring with an impressive 14-play, 73-yard drive to open the

game that took just under fiveminutes. QuarterbackDominic Mazzone ran seventimes for 41 yards in the drive,while running back JaysonKenneway — who set up as thequarterback in shotgun forma-tion a few times — ran fivetimes for 24 yards, and the 1-yard touchdown.

But that was all Leicestercould do offensively, as theirdefense gave up the next 24points to take the loss.

Uxbridge got three pointsout of their first possessionafter a 31-yard field goalattempt by Jake Bliss sailedthrough the uprights.

The Spartans took the leadfor good in the second quarterwhen Dan Tessier lined up as

the quarter-back and scampered up themiddle for a 44-yard touch-down run.

Uxbridge then upped its leadto 17-7 on the first play of thefourth quarter when Tessierscored again, but this time aswide receiver. QuarterbackJason Silbor found Tessierstreaking down the left side-line, and the pass was perfectas Tessier was able to run intothe end zone untouched for a39-yard score.

“He’s an athlete, and we haveto utilize his athletic ability,”Raeke said of Tessier playingdifferent offensive positions.“He’s on the field as often aspossible. He’s got to touch theball.”

For the rest of the fourthquarter, it was all running onthe offensive side for Uxbridge.

“We have two backs with dif-ferent styles,” Raekeexplained. “(Pat) McCrohan’s aquicker guy and (Corey)Watson will run right throughyou.”

McCrohan and Watson didthe bulk of the rushing in thelast quarter, but freshmanTyler Wisserkerke was able toscamper in from 6 yards out forthe final touchdown.

“We played very well in thesecond half,” Raeke said. “Wemade some adjustments andwe were able to move the ball.We relied on our offensive lineto get down the field.”

McCrohan, who finished

with 59 yards on 17 carries,said the simple second halfattack was very effectiveagainst the Wolverines.

“We just tried to run it rightdown their throats,” he said.“Spread them out first, getthem tired, and then pound it.”

The Spartans offense wasfinally able to score more than14 points in a game. That helpsthe defense, which has beensensational all season.

The defense Saturday wasespecially good with Leicesterattempting to make a come-back. Mazzone only completed

three of 15 passes for 10 yardsand two interceptions.Kenneway was limited to 8yards rushing on three carriesin the second half.

“We just have to scorepoints,” McCrohan explained.“Our defense is great. We’vestopped every offense, likeMillbury last week. They havea high powered offense. We justneed our offense to get onboard, and we did tonight.”

The Spartans hope to get onthat winning steak they’rehoping for, as they host DavidProuty at 3 p.m. Saturday.

KEOWN ORCHARDS STILL THRIVINGBY THOMAS MATTSON

TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

SUTTON — If Arthur Keown III is notJohnny Appleseed, he must be his spiritu-al descendant.

Keown represents the fourth generationof the family to run the 180-acre farm offCentral Turnpike near the Northbridgeborder.

Families come from all over to picktheir own apples and other fruit. On week-ends their kids can even get a trailer ridearound the premises.

When Arthur Keown talks about apples,you had better not interrupt. Althoughthey are out there on trees shining in thesun or in bushels inside a large storagebuilding and retail store, Keown’s is aworld filled with a thousand details aboutthe tree that made Johnny Appleseed

famous.But instead of heading west, Arthur

Keown has gone east.He markets apples and other fruit at

farmers’ markets in downtown Bostonnear City Hall and at Copley Square, atCentral Square in Cambridge, in Natick,in Norwood, and at the Weston Nurseriesin Hopkinton.

“Vegetables are selling excellently,”Keown said, “even with the economy.People still need to eat. And they wantfresh fruits and vegetables, and we pro-vide them at reasonable prices.

Keown also sees his farm as a familyouting destination.

The phone rings. A staffer answers:“Yes, take 146…” So, yes, they do comefrom all over. They seek out a place likeKeown’s Orchards.

“Macintoshes are the biggest seller,” hesaid. “Then Cortland and Macoun.”

Keown’s has some 65 varieties of apples.Some of them are Gala, a special opales-cent kind, Baldwins, Empire, Spenser,Northern Spy, even the historic SuttonBeauty Apple first introduced to the worldfrom the Waters Farm in West Suttonsome 150 or more years ago. Also, RogersRed, Pioneer Macintosh, Red Macintosh,old-fashioned Cortlands and new RedCortlands.

“People start picking in late July,” heexplained. ”Each week you can pick a newvariety. We have apples (that are ready forpicking) very early and very late, eveninto late November. We’re open from Apriltill Christmas.”

All of this bounty is spread out over 180acres — 35 acres of apple trees, seven

acres of peach trees and one of pears.”In all, Keown’s has 60 acres devoted to

mixed fruits and vegetables.There are eight varieties of pears —

Bartlett, Bosc, Clapp’s (“a favorite”),Sheldon and three varieties of Asianpears.

Keown said the farm produces between6,000 and 8,000 bushels of fruits and veg-etables a year.

“I’ve been running the farm with myaunt, Jane Oliver, since I was 26,” saidKeown, who is 38. But he has done every-thing you can do on the farm since he wasa small boy.

Keown Orchards is located at 9McClellan Road in Sutton off CentralTurnpike (Sutton Street) just east ofRoute 146.


Keown Orchards is now in its fourth generation of family management.An old tractor lends rustic atmosphere.

A bounty of pumpkins — it’s that time of year.An old cypress-wood well.

effect is for union representatives tosign it; something that Sawyer saidwould likely take place soon andmerely reflects the need to updatecertain language on the document.

“It’s more of a formality,” he said.Key to the agreement, Sawyer

said, was the union’s willingness tohave its members pay more for theirhealth insurance. Union memberspreviously contributed 20 percent oftheir health insurance plans, eitherBlue Cross and Blue Shield orFallon. The new contract will have

the teachers pay 22.5 percent thisyear, then 25 percent in fiscal years2010 and 2011. New hires will pay 30percent.

The agreement on health carecosts, according to Sawyer, meanssubstantial savings for the town —approximately $75,000 this year and$150,000 in the second and third

years of the deal.“We worked with a collaborative

bargaining method, rather thanhave the two sides’ attorneys sittingacross the table,” he said. “Whilenobody got everything they wanted,it was more of a partnership.Overall, it was a win-win situation.”

The town’s other school depart-

ment unions previously agreed topay the higher health insurancecontribution when their contractswere settled this past spring.

Sawyer said the school depart-ment would fund the new contractwithin its existing budget.

Amid accusations, Moore, Lebeaux to face off three times BY TERESA A. FRANCO

STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER

REGION — The Shrewsbury andGrafton chapters of the WomenVoters League are joining forces forone night to host a debate togetherbetween state Senate candidatesJohn Lebeaux and Michael Moore, atthe Shrewsbury Town HallThursday, Oct. 23.

Shrewsbury League of WomenVoters President Kelly Marciamosaid all three chapters of the leaguein Grafton and Worcester are jointlyholding the debate Thursday, Oct. 23,to make it easier for the candidates.She said she will give the tape of theevent to Worcester and Grafton butshe said she it is up to those areas todecide to air it or not.

Earlier this month, Lebeaux pub-licly accused his opponent of “duck-ing out” on a second debate, butMoore said he could not fit a seconddebate into his schedule.

“It’s an exaggeration to say I’m‘declining,’” Moore said. “[I can’tattend] because of scheduling con-flicts.”

Moore said there are plenty ofother debates and forums scheduled

for him and Lebeaux before ElectionDay Tuesday, Nov. 4, including threein Worcester. He added the candi-dates have a debate Oct. 27, and it willbe aired throughout the entire dis-trict. Moore also pointed out thatLebeaux, former state Senate candi-date Doug Belanger and himself allparticipated in a forum at TempleEmmanuel Sunday Sept. 14, beforethe primaries.

Lebeaux said he gave the League ofWomen Voters five dates he wasavailable to debate in Grafton andMoore’s schedule did not fit any ofthem. Lebeaux said he is aware thereare other dates the candidates arescheduled to debate but he said hewould like to give all the areas of thedistrict to hear what they have to say.

“It would be best to let the voters ineach community see us face to face,”he said. “I think it would be great toget to each and every town.”

Lebeaux said he is ready at anytime to debate with Moore.

“I’m ready willing and able to meetwith my opponent any time and anyplace,” he said. “As long as I don’thave a previous commitment, I’mready to go.”

Moore said he believes campaign-ing is not solely based on debating.He said even though he could notattend one debate he has made him-self available to the public and is con-tinuing to do so.

“For the pastseven months I’vemade myselfaccessible,” hesaid. “I’m not justdoing debates, I’m

meeting people face-to-face. If you’regoing to properly represent the dis-trict you’re going to need to have per-sonal contact.”

Moore pointed out that two daysafter winning the democratic nomi-

nation in the primaries he attended aforum at Auburn High School hostedby the Chamber of Commerce andmore recently, he said he was a guestat the Auburn Youth and FamilyServices annual meeting last week.

The other debates and forums willbe held in Worcester Thursday Oct.16, Friday, Oct. 24, and Monday, Oct.27. The first will be held at the CentroLas Americas, 11 Sycamore St., andthe second, the Worcester AreaAssociation for the Education ofYoung Children (WAARYC)Candidates Forum, will be held atWorcester Vocational High School.The third, the Senatorial Debate, atChannel 3 Charter Studio, will beaired in Auburn, Grafton, Leicester,Millbury, Worcester, Upton andChannel 15 in Shrewsbury.

Hubbard to host annual Harvest Health FairBY PATRICK SKAHILL

STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER

WEBSTER — Last year, more than 500 peo-ple turned out for Hubbard RegionalHospital’s Harvest Health Fair, and if vendorregistration and preliminary communityinterest is any indication, this year’s event isshaping up to be even bigger.

“The response has been really awesomethis year,” said Hubbard’s Public RelationsCoordinator Blaine Moffa. “This is only mysecond year doing this and I’ve already seensuch a huge increase in all the vendors.”

The 2008 Harvest Health Fair is scheduledfrom 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 18, atHubbard, rain or shine. Events are held bothinside and outside the hospital’s groundsand feature a wide array of attractions span-ning everything from Webster ambulanceand rescue teams to the always-popular land-ing demonstration by the hospital’s LifeFlight helicopter.

“I have contacted Life Flight and we areagain on their schedule to hopefully make aspecial landing on our helicopter pad some-time during the fair,” Moffa said. “Last year,that was a huge hit with parents and kids. Itwas exciting to see it up close.”

Moffa said many other the popular eventsare also scheduled to return this year,including Yoga for Kids by “Mimi”

Strzelewicz and the Massachusetts MasonsMYCHIP program, which helps build anidentification kit for parents with finger-prints and dental impressions.

Residents attending the fair will also haveaccess to the National Library of Medicine(NLM), a consumer health database that willbe offered at the fair by the Chester C.Corbin Library in conjunction with theWebster Senior Center.

The NLM operates on the campus of theNational Institutes of Health in Bethesda,Maryland and is the world’s largest medicallibrary focusing on collecting materialsrelated to all aspects of biomedicine, healthcare, the humanities and the social sciences.

The library’s collections stand at morethan 9 million items — books, journals, tech-nical reports, manuscripts, microfilms, pho-tographs and images and may be accessed,in part, via the Internet, or requestedthrough interlibrary loan.

Other new faces at the 2008 HubbardHealth Fair include the Sanofi-AventisDiabetes education center, which will offertwo Power Point presentations given byAngela Younger, who is a member of apatient-led program on diabetes education.Angela’s topics will include achieving goodglucose control, learning about effective self-management and developing a balanced,

healthy lifestyle. The seminars will be heldat 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. in the loungeinside the Hubbard cafeteria.

Carl Savard, independent distributor forNutricare/Shaklee, will also be a new face atthe Health Fair. Shaklee develops all naturalsafe cleaning products, herbal vitamins andsupplements and skin care products Moffasaid.

Staffers at Hubbard will offer their usualservices to the public including blood sugartesting, blood pressure screenings and infor-mation on how to cope with the flu at homeand patient medical cards.

Page Chiropractic will also offer scoliosisscreenings for kids, as well as a adult spine

screenings. Additionally, those needing toloosen up a bit will benefit from chair mas-sages given courtesy of Hubbard’s MassageTherapist Callie Mangano. Skin screeningscourtesy of the Fallon Clinic will also beoffered.

WSRS 96.1 FM will provide on-site enter-tainment and residents can sink their teethinto some light refreshments will be provid-ed courtesy of Price Chopper and PolarBeverages.

Overall, Moffa said she hopes this year’sHarvest Fair will shape up to be bigger andbetter than ever, and if the community’songoing interest in the project is any indica-tion, it certainly seems as if that hope is des-tined to become a reality.

“I’ve had people call me in the past coupleweeks who were interested in participating.Unfortunately, I had to turn them away,”Moffa said. “We’ve been planning this sinceJune and I’m pretty sure we were maxed forspace by September. As much as I hate to tellpeople ‘No,’ I’m really pleased so many mem-bers of the community are taking part inthis event.”

Qualities of New School Head Listed

cent).”These and other opinions are the outcomes of

a survey the Massachusetts Association ofSchool Committees (MASC) recently conductedin gleaning town and professional assessmentsof the kind of superintendent sought over thecourse of the next few months. Currently, HenryO’Donnell is serving as interim school superin-tendent until July 1, 2009. O’Donnell was theschool’s regular superintendent from 1994through 2005, when he retired. Paul Soojian suc-ceeded him, serving from 2005 through 2008. Hehas since taken over the superintendency ofLeicester schools. Soojian is a Leicester native.

Meanwhile, the Northbridge SchoolCommittee is about to establish a SchoolSuperintendent Screening Committee repre-senting different stakeholders in town.

The deadline for submitting an applicationfor the superintendency is Dec. 5. The MASC,whose representative to Northbridge is PatriciaCorreira, will screen the applications, identify-ing 8 to 10 candidates, Dec. 9. On Dec. 11, theMASC will present the list of semifinalists tothe School Committee. At the same session, theSchool Committee will define the role of theScreening Committee and charge the latter withthe scope of its task. In early January 2009, theScreening Committee will interview the semifi-nalists. The interview dates are Jan. 5, 6, 7,12, 13 and 14.

On Jan. 14, after the last interview, theScreening Committee will nominate from threeto five finalists, then present their names to theSchool Committee at 7 p.m. Jan. 20. At this point,the Screening Committee will be discharged.

On Feb. 10, 2009, the School Committee meetswith MASC to discuss site visits and organizequestions for the final interviews.

The final interviews for the superintendentposition will start at 6 p.m. and end at 9:15 p.m. on each of four days — Monday, Feb. 23,2009; Tuesday, Feb. 24; Wednesday, Feb. 25;Thursday, Feb. 26.

At the end of the last interview Feb. 26, theSchool Committee will vote to appoint a super-intendent. The new school head will begin July1, 2009, or as soon as possible.

MASC has written an advertisement for the new superintendent: “The NorthbridgeSchool Committee is seeking a dynamic,

motivated educational leader with a strongbackground in school finance., a collaborativemanagement style and excellent communica-tion(s) skills to become superintendent of its2,550-pupil school district.”

The school board is looking for someone withat least a master’s degree and 10 years of expe-rience in education, including three years ofadministrative and/or central office experience,successful experience in school finance andbusiness management, and experience inschool-based technology.” The salary is peggedwithin a range of $140,000 to $160,000.

The composition of the 166 respondents to thesurvey included 100 parents (60 percent) of aNorthbridge Public Schools student; 41 employ-ees (25 percent) of the local school district; 13residents (8 percent) of Northbridge withoutchildren enrolled in local public schools; 5 localstudents and 7 persons with no known connec-tion to the schools.

Other issues facing the new superintendentin addition to the top five mentioned abovewere: school-based technology, 32 percent; staffrelations, 30 percent; public relations, 29 percent; defining district goals, 27 percent; facil-ities management/building construction, 22percent; professional development, 19 percent;staff evaluation, 16 percent; collective bargain-ing, 11 percent; 5 percent each for enrollmentand for diversity of staff and student body.

Not surprisingly, the skills and abilitiessought in the new superintendent match someof the issues.

Some 78 percent say development and implementation of the budget is the top skillsought. Next comes ”success inimproving/maintaining high academic performance,” 55 percent, and “excellent communication skills,” 45 percent.

“Ability to work cooperatively with theSchool Committee” was what 42 percent sought.“Success in acquiring outside funding” drewthe interest of 40 percent of the respondents.“Successful administrative experience” wasfocused upon by 39 percent. “Knowledge indeveloping short- and long-term district goals”was the choice of 33 percent. A total of 28 per-cent opted for “experience in curriculum development” and the same number stressedthe need for an “understanding and recognitionof good teaching.”

All 166 respondents answered the question:“What do you believe is/will be the most impor-tant issue facing the next superintendent?”

Here are some oftheir choices: additionof staff to reduce class

size, plus add a secretary; reestablishing lostprogramming and relationships; rebuild theschool district; rebuild the damage of the lastfew years; educate the public about the schools;interact with staff and community; getting anoverride passed; school curriculum for the high-er-level students; maintaining the highest edu-cational standards; addressing the lack of com-munity support for the schools.

Others are: curriculum restoration and newofferings; meeting educational goals within a limited budget; regaining the losses from lastyear’s budget cuts; (dealing with) a town thathas lost confidence in educational leadership;not covering up school problems as in the past;rebuilding trust with the community; develop-ing a sense of trust within the community;how to not repeat what recently happened;honest; improving the community’s view ofthe education system; improving the quality of education.

Additional comments on what constitutes themost important issue facing the next superin-tendent: academic standards; improving thequality of education at all levels; improving theclimates of the schools; improving quality edu-cation; restoring the community’s faith in theadministration; getting our high school aca-demics in line; getting academic standardswhere they should be; improving special educa-tion; staying competitive with area schools (inall aspects); making our district better and morecompetitive; gaining back what was cut andimproving what wasn’t.

Respondents also made more extensive comments.

— “The future superintendent needs toaddress reducing class sizes, professional devel-opment that has been lacking and developing acaring and supportive relationship with staff.”

— “Raise staff morale, work well withschool committee, improve public relationswith the community, and establish a 5-yearvision plan.”

— “The new superintendent should beable to communicate with all areas of the schooldistrict. The middle school has always felt likethe ‘stepchild’ of the district. Middle schoolteachers use technology more than any otherschool. The staff has innovated a more progres-sive curriculum. Yet the Northbridge MiddleSchool staff feels as if we have been ignored bythe previous administration. We do more thanthe required work, but we are ignored.”

— “We can’t have what happened in 2007-2008 happen again.”

— “No cuts to programs — only additionsand lower class sizes. Don’t burn out the staffand make them babysitters.”

— “The new superintendent must knowhow the entire town budget is formulated and beable to work with the Town Manager, FinanceCommittee and Board of Selectmen.”

— “Ability to slam the selectmen when needed.”

— “It is imperative that the next superin-tendent is a representative for the students andtheir parents, NOT just the teachers’ union.”

— “… Preparing students to participatein a global economy is the ultimate goal.”

— “We need to have a positive view of thesuperintendent and the way money is beingspent throughout our schools. We need to con-tinue to find ways to get more teachers on thestaff and to lower class size. Special Educationalso has been hit very hard and we need to seehow we can get more teachers for that area,especially in the higher grades.”

Additional comments include:— “The next superintendent needs to

have experience both in the teaching field and inbusiness.”

— “Innovative teaching methodologies tohelp keep students motivated…”

— “… It really isn’t a one-man job. It takesa lot of people working together without per-sonal agendas to make a strong communityimpact and a great educational environment.”

— “I am delighted with the turnaroundthis year. My second grader’s class has 23 stu-dents, the library is open and the specials areback. What a wonderful start compared to lastyear. Kudos to the hard work of the school com-mittee, and my compliments to teachers andadministration for their hard work. I think weare definitely on the road to recovery.”

— “The town of Northbridge has lost confidence in the school leadership. As a parentof four children in the system, I see the needfor additional funding. It’s frustrating to listen

to comments from town citizens that will notvote for overrides because there is no trust in the current administration… We looked atalternative schools for our children but havedecided to give Northbridge one more year. Myhope is that a new superintendent will work tobridge the divide between school administra-tion and the citizens of this town. Unless thathappens, it will be business as usual. I wouldalso like to see the new leadership bring in freshideas. A lot of towns in the Blackstone Valleyare in the same boat. Wouldn’t a regional highschool make sense?”

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN

(Never known to fail). Oh most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splen-dor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this my necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein, you are my mother, Oh Holy Mary, Moth-er of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart, succor me in this ne-cessity. There are none that can withstand your call. Oh, show me herein, you are my mother. Oh, Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. (3 times) Holy Mary I place this cause in your hands (3 times). Sweet Mother I pray for this cause in your hands. (3 times). Holy Spirit, resolve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me in all instances of my life, you are with me. I want this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you even in spite of ma-terial things. I wish to be with you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy to-ward me and mine. The per-son must say this prayer three consecutive days. Af-ter three days the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the prayer is granted. Thank you. J.M.F.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Amidst the backlash against

sports utility vehicles, I’ve

noticed a worthwhile trend: the

return of the station wagon. Like

most of you, I grew up with sta-

tion wagons. We had a 1974

Chrysler wagon that I absolutely

loved and I even felt a fuzzy affec-

tion for our 1982 Ford Pinto

wagon. (Why my dad bought that

for my mom I’ll never under-

stand – except he also downsized

from a 1977 Cordoba to a 1983

Ford Escort.)

Lately, there have been some

great station wagons introduced

to the American market. Case in

point would be the Saab Turbo X

wagon which is the single coolest

station wagon I have ever driven.

Another great one is the 2009 VW

Jetta SportsWagen that was

loaned to me for a week by the

manufacturer. It’s a smart look-

ing station wagon that packs

plenty of pep, is comfortable to

drive, and swallows a fair

amount of cargo for its size.

It has a choice of gas engines:

2.5-liter, five cylinder engine that

produces 170 horsepower and 177

lbs.-ft of torque. For those want-

ing more power, a 2.0-liter, turbo-

charged, four cylinder engine

that produces 200 hp and 207 lbs.-

ft. of toque is also available. The

2.5L Jetta SportWagen has a

starting price of $18,999. In my

humble opinion, stick with the

2.5-liter engine. Its fuel economy

is equal to the smaller turbo

engine, yet it runs on regular fuel

vs. premium.

For those smart enough to real-

ize diesel is a great green option,

the Jetta SportWagen TDI will be

available later this year with an

all-new 2.0-liter clean diesel

engine that produces 140 hp, and

236 lbs.-ft. of torque. As VW likes

to point out, “the clean diesel

engine version demonstrates

that consumers do not have to

compromise when it comes to

performance and fuel efficiency.”

The Jetta SportWagen TDI will

have a starting price of $23,590.

What I liked most about this

station wagon is how much fun it

is to drive. Handling was excel-

lent because it’s a low-slung vehi-

cle. Shifting through the 5-speed

manual transmission was effort-

less and the clutch engaged

smoothly.

When it comes to safety, I’m

going to let VW do some brag-

ging: “Volkswagen recently

announced Electronic Stability

Program (ESP) as standard

equipment on all its 2009 vehi-

cles. As a result, Volkswagen is

one of the only original equip-

ment manufacturers to offer an

electronic stability control sys-

tem on their entire product line –

ahead of the National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration’s

(NHTSA) deadline requiring

vehicles in the 2012 model year to

include stability control systems.

Volkswagen’s ESP technology

works in conjunction with

antilock brakes and helps reduce

loss of control and rollovers to

avoid crashes. NHTSA predicts

nearly 10,000 lives could be saved

each year if automakers includ-

ed stability systems as standard

equipment.”

There is an impressive amount

of cargo space with the Jetta

wagon: 32.8 cubic feet with the

rear seat up, or 66.9 cubic feet

with the rear seat folded down.

There is an optional fold-flat

front passenger seat that pro-

vides additional cargo space. The

Jetta easily swallowed whatever I

threw at in my week of testing,

including a Red Flyer wagon,

boxes of books and a week’s

worth of groceries for our family

of four. (It’s amazing how much a

3-year old can eat, isn’t it?)

My only complaint with the

interior of the Jetta SportWagen

would be its doors. I found them a

little narrow to get into and out

of. I know I’m overweight, but it’s

something to consider if this car

is on your shopping list. It’s not

so much a complaint, but I can’t

see any reason for ordering the

panoramic sunroof that runs the

length of the wagon. It costs

$1300, which seems like a lot of

money for permanent exposure

to the sun’s rays.

Typically, I don’t comment on a

car’s exterior because I have no

expertise in this area. I have to

admit, though, that I found the

smooth lines of the Jetta

SportWagen extremely attrac-

tive. It’s a car that looks good sit-

ting in a driveway. The model I

drove was white and I’ll admit to

having a soft spot for white vehi-

cles.

Overall, there is little reason

not to recommend the Jetta

SportWagen. It’s a roomy station

wagon. It has absolutely no flaws

in handling. Performance is spot

on even with the 2.5-liter horse-

power engine.

Go ahead. Turn in that SUV

(but only if it’s paid for). Park a

station wagon in your driveway.

Give strong consideration to the

Jetta SportWagen. I don’t think

you’ll be disappointed.
