DOUGLAS — Maria Dariotis, a sophomore at Douglas High School, will be a delegate to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders at the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell on from June 23-25.

The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be physicians or medical scientists, to stay true to their dream, and after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal.

Maria’s nomination letter was signed by Dr. Mario Capecchi, winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine and the Science Director

of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists to represent Massachusetts based on her academic achievement, leadership potential and determi-nation to serve humanity in the fields of medicine.

During the three-day Congress, Dariotis will join students from across the country and hear Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science winners talk about leading medical research; be given advice from Ivy League and to medical school deans on what to expect in medical school; witness stories told by patients who are living medical miracles; be inspired by fellow teen medical science prod-

Uxbridge students win engineering

challengeBY KIMBERLY PALMUCCITRIBUNE CORRESPONDENT

UXBRIDGE — Several students from Uxbridge High School were recently selected as one of two winning teams in a recycling control systems Online Industry Challenge.

Through this challenge, hosted by the school’s Project Lead the Way program and organized by Mass. STEM Hub, local students submitted classwork and received feedback from engineers and computer scientists.

According to a statement from the school, students learn about mechanisms, strength of structures, and automation in their Project Lead the Way Principles of Engineering course. In their unit about control sys-tems, they apply what they learned to design, model, and test a device to separate recyclable materials com-bining VEX materials with control and 3D modeling software.

Through Online Industry Challenges, which Mass STEM Hub organizes throughout the year, students submit their work from classes to receive feedback from engineers and computer scientists. For this challenge in particular, students submitted work to experts at The MITRE Corporation and received feed-back on their prototype sketches and designs, design process flow diagrams, and programming code.

“At MITRE, we are deeply committed to advanc-ing STEM education in the United States which will help our nation continue to be innovative and main-tain global competitiveness,” said Adrienne Thomas-Loftin, Head of Inclusion and Diversity at MITRE. “Our judges were very impressed with the way stu-dents demonstrated their strong grasp of fundamental engineering concepts—concepts that are often applied here at MITRE. The judges enjoyed providing feed-back that would push the students to think beyond their current project, similar to the way engineers think about projects daily.”

The STEM professionals selected two winning teams. The overall challenge winner is a team from Danvers

BY KIMBERLY PALMUCCITRIBUNE CORRESPONDENT

NORTHBRIDGE — More than 200 tickets were sold for the first ever “Cosmic Classics” concerts featuring a brass band, a choir, organ, piano, harp, and more held in Whitinsville at the beginning of June.

“The Cosmic Classic Concerts went very well, espe-cially considering it was the first time this kind of event had been attempted,” said Patrick Smith, executive producer and concert organizer.

The concerts were hosted by the Village Congregational Church and included New England Brass Band, New

World Chorale, William J. Ness on organ, Robert Finley on piano, Alix Raspé on harp, Emily Tweedy as soprano, and Heather Gallagher as mezzo soprano. The Cosmic Classics concerts are geared toward the listener by getting right to the good stuff, right away, said Smith.

“The Cosmic Classic was an amazing experience. What made this concert unique and so very unusual was the wide spectrum of musical experi-ences,” said Leslie Azaret, a concert attendee. “From solo piano, to solo pipe organ, opera, large choral, and brass band orchestra. I have never experienced such a wide rang-ing array of music in one con-

cert—with all elements of high quality musicianship. Patrick did a fabulous job organizing this concert.”

Smith said that this was the first concert of its kind in town, adding that another unique ele-ment was the repertoire: only the best segments of the best music.

“Let’s face it — few people anymore really want to sit through 120 minutes of Mahler 2 just to hear that last 15 min-utes that they actually do want to hear. Most people would pre-fer to hear just the good part,” he said. “This concert offers a good amount of diversity and some of the best music within each genre. There is time in the program to hear a whole bunch

of amazing classical music. This makes it more interest-ing to more people. This for-mat very possibly could offer a future for the waning popu-lation of classical music lovers by appealing to a much broad-er community of listeners.”

Smith said for the future, he will be working with an audio recording engineer to mix and master some recordings, and with a video recording engi-neer to edit footage from the events. Planning for next year’s Cosmic Classics Concerts began about six months ago and will now accelerate, added Smith.

Next year’s concert will be on Sunday, June 7, 2020, at Mechanics Hall in Worcester.

“It truly was a unique and wonderful experience for the audience,” Azaret added.

Financial sponsors for the event included the Massachusetts Cultural Council, several local Community Councils, and Gaudette Insurance Agency. The Village Congregational Church provided the use of their facility free of charge, said Smith. The Whitin Community Center and the UniBank Whitinsville Branch allowed use of their parking lots free of charge, and Northbridge Public High School allowed use of their video recording equip-ment and a conductor’s stand.

DOUGLAS — The next meeting of the Douglas Library book group, July 9, 6:30 p.m. The Intrepid Readers will be discussing James Warren’s “God, War, and Providence: the epic struggle of Roger Williams and the Narragansett Indians against the Puritans of New England.”

The tragic and fascinating history of the first epic struggle between white settlers and Native Americans in the early 17th century: a fresh

look at the aggressive expansionist Puritans in New England and the determined Narragansett Indians, who refused to back down and accept English authority over people and their land.

Serving Worcester County for nearly 60 years • www.alsoil.com

WHITINSVILLE — Open Sky Community Services is pleased to announce a partnership with EmcArts, a nationally recognized ser-vice organization and think tank which assists individuals, organizations and communities tackle their most com-plex social challenges. The outcome is a series of community workshops taking place at the Whitin Mill in Whitinsville, intended to build a stronger commu-nity that is welcoming to all its citi-zens, including people with disabilities. The partnership comes through a grant from the Kresge Foundation.

Open Sky invited 12 community orga-nizations to participate in the six work-

shops, which started in May and will run through July. Representatives from the town of Northbridge, Whitin Community Center, Apple Tree Arts, Valley Chapel, Stepping Stone Community Theatre, ValleyCAST, Mass Cultural Council, UniBank, Blackstone Valley Arts Association, Worcester State University, Advocates and the Lions Club gathered to identify complex challenges in the communi-ty, explore responses that move away from traditional linear planning, and establish promising, emergent practic-es through art-based experiential learn-ing.

“With this series of workshops, we

will define a plan and best practices to create and sustain welcoming commu-nities,” said Kelley Gamble, Open Sky Community Services’ Vice President of Community Initiatives. “There is grow-ing recognition that people who have mental health challenges or develop-mental disabilities can thrive in com-munities that are inclusive and wel-coming, and where they can participate as equals with non-disabled community members. Programs that serve people with disabilities seek to provide ‘bridg-ing opportunities’ that connect the indi-viduals served to people and groups that are outside of the professional net-work of paid staff.”

The first workshops in the series were held May 21 and 22, at which 37 par-ticipants from the various community organizations worked in small groups and identified topics to tackle. These subjects included: building a culture of community contribution and service; developing greater understanding and acceptance; causes of community ineq-uity; creating inclusive spaces for new, vibrant and diverse voices to be heard.

For more information, contact Kelley Gamble at [email protected].

DUDLEY — The Nichols College Office of Student Involvement has appointed 14 students to serve as 2019 Orientation Leaders, mento-ring the incoming members of the Class of 2023 and guid-ing them toward success as new college students. Lexxus Andrews of Uxbridge is one of the leaders.

The Nichols Student Orientation program hires stu-dent leaders to work during the three Summer Orientation ses-sions (June 14-15; June 18-19; and June 22-23, 2019), during which over 300 incoming first-year students are welcomed to campus. Each session lasts a day and a half, with an over-night component for new stu-dents to get a sense of what it will be like to live on campus and to meet their soon-to-be classmates. A special orienta-tion session is also held for families and guests to acquaint them with various aspects of their student›s college experi-ence: academics, residence life, dining services, financial ser-vices, information technology, commuter information, career development, diversity and inclusion, community stan-dards, campus wellness, and

athletics.As an orientation leader,

students gain experience and career-ready skills in event planning, teamwork, lead-ership, and motivation. The position entails participating in spring training led by the Nichols Student Involvement Office and Bison Orientation Leadership Team (BOLT) coor-dinators; leading discussion groups with incoming students and family members; facilitat-ing “ice breakers” and other interactive and engaging group activities; helping to prepare orientation activities and mate-rials; explaining to incoming students academic opportuni-ties and procedures; and accli-mating incoming students with campus services and building locations. They are expected to act as a positive role model -- on and off campus.

“Orientation leaders are an essential part of welcoming the incoming class of Bison each summer,” said Elizabeth Gionfriddo, director of stu-dent involvement and co-chair of the Emerging Leaders Program at Nichols College. “Our Orientation team is com-mitted to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment

for the Class of 2023; our goal is to have each member of the new class feel before they leave Orientation as though they have a place to belong on cam-pus.

“The Nichols College com-munity very much looks for-ward to introducing the Class of 2023 to The Hill over the next few weeks,” she added.

Orientation Leaders apply and go through an interview process. Candidates submit a two-page application, cover letter, resume, and two refer-ences. The students selected to be orientation leaders possess energy, enthusiasm, a sense of humor, open mind, and a pos-itive attitude; have the ability to be flexible in a busy work environment and the desire to work with students, families, faculty, and staff; be in good academic and disciplinary standing; have a willingness to work hard and take initiative; and have pride in all aspects of Nichols College.

“We put together a diverse team that represents the Nichols community,” said Gionfriddo. “We want them to care about the first-year stu-dent experience, and be good mentors.”

The following students were named Orientation Leaders:

Lexxus Andrews ‘20 of Uxbridge, Mass.

Richard Case ‘21 of Watertown, N.Y.

John Champagne ‘20 of Dudley, Mass.

Steven Constas ‘22 of Dover, N.H.

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — Saint Anselm College student Hanna VanderBaan of Douglas, a Nursing major, in the class of 2022 has been accepted into Alpha Lambda Delta, a national honor society for first-year suc-cess, for the 2018-2019 academic year. To be eligible for invitation, stu-dents must be enrolled full-time at an institution with an active chap-ter of Alpha Lambda Delta and have a 3.5 grade point average or higher in their first semester or first year.

WORCESTER — Robert Wondolowski of Uxbridge, a member of the class of 2020 majoring in actuarial mathematics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), was a member of a student team that recently completed an intense, hands-on research through the WPI project center in Worcester, England. The proj-ect was titled Energize Worcester 2019.

At WPI, all undergraduates are required to complete a research-driven, professional-level project that applies science and technology to addresses an important societal need or issue. About two-thirds of students complete a project at one of the university’s 50-plus off-campus project centers, which are located around the world. A signature element of the innovative undergradu-ate experience at WPI, the project-based curriculum offers students the opportu-nity to apply their scientific and tech-nical knowledge to develop thoughtful solutions to real problems that affect the quality of people’s lives-and make a difference before they graduate.

“The WPI project-based curriculum’s focus on global studies brings students out of the classroom and their com-fort zones and into the global commu-nity to apply their knowledge and to solve problems,” said Professor Kent Rissmiller, interim dean of the WPI Interdisciplinary and Global Studies Division. “Students are immersed in all aspects of a different culture, from the way people live and work to the val-ues they hold to the foods they eat - all valuable perspectives for surviving and

thriving in today’s global marketplace. They also learn the meaning and magic of teamwork; make a real and mean-ingful difference in their host commu-nity; and gain a competitive edge for any resume, or graduate or professional school application.”

About Worcester Polytechnic Institute

WPI, a global leader in project-based learning, is a distinctive, top-tier techno-logical university founded in 1865 on the principle that students learn most effec-tively by applying the theory learned in the classroom to the practice of solv-ing real-world problems. Recognized by the National Academy of Engineering with the 2016 Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education, WPI’s pioneer-ing project-based curriculum engages undergraduates in solving important scientific, technological, and societal problems throughout their education and at more than 50 project centers around the world. WPI offers more than 50 bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree programs across 14 academic departments in science, engineering, technology, business, the social scienc-es, and the humanities and arts. Its fac-ulty and students pursue groundbreak-ing research to meet ongoing challenges in health and biotechnology; robotics and the internet of things; advanced materials and manufacturing; cyber, data, and security systems; learning science; and more. www.wpi.edu

“This is a crucial time in America when we need more doctors and medical scientists who are even better prepared for a future that is changing exponen-tially,” said Richard Rossi, Executive Director, National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists. “Focused, bright and determined stu-dents like Maria are our future, and she deserves all the mentoring and guid-ance we can give her.”

The Academy offers free services and programs to students who want to be physicians or go into medical science. Some of the services and programs the Academy offers are online social net-works through which future doctors

and medical scientists can communi-cate; opportunities for students to be guided and mentored by physicians and medical students; and communi-cations for parents and students on college acceptance and finances, skills acquisition, internships, career guid-ance and much more.

The National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists was founded on the belief that we must identify prospective medical talent at the earliest possible age and help these students acquire the necessary expe-rience and skills to take them to the doorstep of this vital career. Based in Washington, D.C., and with offices in Boston, the Academy was chartered as a nonpartisan, taxpaying institution to help address this crisis by working to identify, encourage and mentor stu-dents who wish to devote their lives to the service of humanity as physicians, medical scientists.

“Every Town Deserves a Good Local Newspaper”


Summer is here at last. For many people, it’s time to get the car ready for a long road trip. And with GPS-enabled smartphones, it’s now a lot easier to navigate these drives with-out getting lost. During your life, you may take many journeys – one of which is the long road you’ll travel toward your financial goals. But even on this path you can benefit from a “GPS” in the form of your goal-orient-ed, personalized strategy.

Your investment strategy can func-

tion this way by helping answer these questions:

How far do I have to go? Your smart-

phone’s GPS can quickly tell you how many miles you need to travel to arrive at your destination. And a well-constructed investment strategy can inform you of when you might reach a goal, such as having a desired amount of money when you retire, given your current age, earnings, sources of retirement income, and so on.

What route should I follow? Your

GPS will plot out your route, showing what turns you should take along the way. Similarly, to reach your desired financial outcome, your investment strategy helps guide the investment decisions you make, such as investing adequate amounts in the appropriate vehicles, including your 401(k) and IRA.

What problems await me? When

your smartphone’s GPS shows red on the route you’re following, you know that heavy traffic lies ahead. And your investment strategy can also help you manage bumps in the road, particu-larly if it’s a strategy you’ve designed with a financial professional, who has the knowledge and technology to create various scenarios and hypo-thetical illustrations to account for potential difficulties – i.e., a rate of return that’s less than expected, a lower income base than you had antic-ipated, greater college costs than you bargained for, and so on.

When should I take an alternate

route? For whatever reason, you may deviate from the course plotted by your GPS – which will then helpfully re-route you. While following your investment strategy, if you make a wrong turn, so to speak – perhaps by putting insufficient funds in a retirement account or by assembling an investment mix that has become unsuitable for your risk tolerance – you may need to get back on track.

As we’ve seen, some analogies exist

between your smartphone’s GPS and your investment strategy. And yet, there’s also a big difference in terms of complexity. It’s simple to program your smartphone to give you the direc-tions you need. But crafting a person-alized investment strategy takes time and effort. You need to consider all your goals – college for your chil-dren, a comfortable retirement, the ability to leave the legacy you want – along with your time horizon, risk tolerance and other factors. And your investment strategy may well need to change over the years, in response to changes in your family situation, employment and even your objectives – for example, you may decide you want to retire earlier (or later) than you had originally planned.

In any case, like your GPS, your

investment strategy can help guide you – so make good use of it.

OPINION

What drives success?

Whether it’s a skyscraper with more than 50 floors playing host to a huge corporation or a tiny farm stand on the side of a rural back road, each business has a story of success. What defines success is, by most, put into monetary terms; however, self satisfaction and the ability to do good for others tops the list as well. Teamwork is the backbone of most success stories. We all work with others, even if we own and operate a one person business.

When you stroll into work, take a look around. You know who does what and how each person contrib-utes to the overall success of whatev-er it is that your business is trying to achieve. Here are a few suggestions for optimizing your team’s ability to reach their full potential.

If your co-workers know what the end goal looks like, and that goal is the same for everyone, communica-tion becomes easier. When each per-son is aware of their individual role and responsibilities things also tend to run much more smoothly. When you give someone a purpose, they are innately more driven. Having a lead-er that sets the bar high but backs it with positivity is a must. Good judge-ment among all team players along with their leaders is also key.

Whether you are working in an insurance office, a restaurant or an amusement park and your co-work-ers are actively listening to one anoth-er and are aware of what’s going on around them good things start to happen, and good things happening drives success. If you are the type of person that can deal with different personality types, you are more valu-able than you think.

Staying knowledgeable about what-ever it is you are doing is crucial. Keeping track of changes in your industry and following the trends will keep you on the path to success. Taking into consideration different scenarios that could take place in the future and preparing for them is always a smart move.

If you look at a large conundrum you may face at work, finding a solu-tion is a challenge, and a challenge can be looked at like a game, albeit a very important one. Solving puzzles happens on a daily basis, some puz-zles larger than others. When you and your team hit an ‘a ha’ moment success has occurred. A string of those moments leads us all to where we want to go.

Realizing that you, as well as your co-workers, are capable of making a mistake and moving forward is the healthiest outlook. We’re all human, and making mistakes is how we learn and grow. It’s really that simple. Allowing the space to make a mistake and to note that the world isn’t com-ing to an end is a great outlook.

Something to strive for, or to rec-ognize if this already exists in your work environment, is a team who communicates well together and remains focuses on goals and results. When each team member contributes equally, you know things are mov-ing in the right direction. Offering co-workers support creates an envi-ronment where productivity will soar. Making sure you have a team comprised of different personalities and skill sets makes success easier to achieve based on the simple fact that the world is filled with different types of people. To be able to have a person on your team to step forward in any given situation is an asset. The most important thing when showing up to work, is to be able to spend your day working hard, but to remember to have some fun. Life is short, we spend a large amount of our days working and if we can’t have fun in what we’re doing than it’s time wasted.

DENNIS ANTONOPOULOS

Financial Focus

Each of us have a record-ing playing in our minds. Our belief systems play over and over inside our heads as a personal verifi-cation of what we believe to be true. A few of us have made a conscious decision of what we believe, but most have developed their beliefs subconsciously based upon their life experiences. In one case, a person decides what is true for them and in the other, they allow their life to dictate what they believe.

As I have shared with you before, I was raised by a father who told me from my earliest memory that I had the power to make my dreams come true. He told me I was smart, handsome and talented and that I could achieve anything my imagination could create. My mother was a wonderful person but suffered from a severe and undiagnosed form of PTSD. Her beliefs were that tragedy, pain and failure were always right around the corner. As is true with many growing up in the 1960’s my mom stayed home, and my dad worked a job as a bakery delivery man. As such, my sisters and I spent far more time in the home with my mother. Mom was loving and nurturing, but her life experiences told her that to protect her children she must temper their expectations by emphasizing the negatives of life. It was her attempt to protect us.

Fortunately, we gravitated to the pos-itive reinforcement and encouraging messages from Dad. Our father had a booming laugh that was contagious. If he laughed everyone near laughed with him. When he spoke, everyone listened. He had a magnetic personality that attracted others. To us, he was larger than life. We wanted to be just like him, and I think in many ways, we are.

My dad dropped out of school in the eighth grade to help on his small family farm in Sesser, Illinois. I imagine for the Moore family that life was hard. John Moore was a full-time coal miner but also a full-time farmer. He mined the coal to pay the bills and farmed so their family of seven children could eat. They were raised in a seven hundred square foot, three room home on the corner of Matthew and Mulberry. The parents and the two youngest children slept in the only two beds while the other five children slept on cots, or on the floor.

Understanding the circumstances, it would be easy to wonder how Dad could have been raised to be such a positive force, but if you met my grandparents,

you’d know why. John and Allie Moore radiated positiv-ity and as such, they raised positive children even under the poorest of circumstances.

My mom painted one life picture for her children and my dad another. Mom’s was of failure and tragedy while

Dad’s was of success and optimism. A friend who is a Psychologist shares that I am unusual. I consciously mad the decision to follow my father’s positive life example. He says that in most cases, children would be heavily influenced by the negative messages. It is easier to believe the negative about ourselves and life. My sisters and I defied the negative and to this day it is the voice of Dad we hear in our heads and we are grateful.

My father, Warren E. “Gene” Moore left us so suddenly that it is still hard to believe he isn’t here. I had lunch with him on Friday May 13, 1983, and six hours later we received the news he was gone. A sudden heart attack took the man we believed to be invincible. I don’t have many regrets in life, but I do regret the things I did not have a chance to say to him. Mostly, I regret not thank-ing him for the way he shaped us into positive and optimistic people.

I didn’t realize at it at the time, but my book about his life in baseball and war, “Playing with the Enemy,” was my attempt to thank him for his positive influence. In the book I tried to say the unsaid words in my heart and show my deepest respect to such a positive force.

This will be my thirty-seventh Father’s Day without my father, but I miss him as though he left us only yes-terday.

Thank you, Dad. I wish I would have thanked you for your positive influence on my life but when you died, I was only twenty-nine years old and didn’t fully realize the incredible gift I received. I regret most of all that I didn’t tell you, the last time I saw you, how much I loved you … but I believe you now understand.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you. Gary W. Moore is a syndicated col-

umnist, speaker and author of three books including the award-winning, critically acclaimed, “Playing with the Enemy.” Follow Gary on Twitter @GaryWMoore721 and at www.garyw-moore.com

Does the extent of your gourmet cooking talents consist of nuk-ing a Lean Cuisine or skewering a scallop and bacon appetizer? If culinary cleverness has eluded you, why not borrow a few tried and true tips from top chefs? The following “tricks of the trade” from famous cooks are sure to stir up some excitement in the kitchen.

*** The queen of French cooking, Julia

Child never failed to amaze. Whether she was literally tossing a chicken in a pan or stirring up a storm, Julia Child’s unique techniques were fodder for both cooking schools and late night talk show hosts.

From Julia Child: A good artichoke will talk to you.

When it is fresh, it will squeak when lightly handled (but when over-squeaked, it will bruise).

*** Julia says while many recipes sug-

gest cooking fish until it flakes. It should almost flake; if it actually flakes it’s overdone, according to the cooking icon.

***The French Chef also revealed how to

peel a large number of garlic cloves effi-ciently: Drop them into a pan of boiling water and let boil for 30 seconds. Drain, drop them into cold water, then slip off the skins with your fingers.

*** And she also has a hot tip for cook-

ing green beans ahead of time: The beans may be cooked several hours in advance, but to keep their freshly cooked taste, the cooking icon .advises drying them thoroughly in clean tow-els, then refrigerating them in a covered

bowl.*** Who could forget the

flamboyant style and humor of 1960s TV cook Graham Kerr, aptly named the Galloping Gourmet? Here are some top tips he passed along as he trotted on the screen each after-noon.

To refresh fish that’s gotten sticky on the way home from the store, Kerr advises trying this ancient Scottish crofter’s trick called “crimping”: Add sea salt to cold water, about one table-spoon for two quarts. Drop in enough ice cubes to plummet the temperature to North Sea levels, slip your fish direct-ly into the iced “sea water,” and leave it there about 15 minutes. When you dry it off, give it a sniff. It should smell sea-sweet.

***The Galloping Gourmet also advis-

es: To effectively approximate the rich nutty flavor of clarified butter, add a touch of toasted sesame seed oil to another light-flavored oil.

*** Dubbed “the Father of American

Cooking,” the late James Beard taught many a budding cook the way around a kitchen via his dozens of classic cook-books, popular TV show and his famous cooking school.

Here is a sampling of his advice:For richer chili and sauces, James

Beard advises doing what the Mexican’s do: Toss a grating of bitter chocolate into chili to give it body and mellow the flavors.

***He also recommends putting a piece

of bread in the bottom of the broiler pan

Striper fishing is heat-ing up at Block Island, as this weeks pictures show. A group of local anglers chartered the Maridee 11 out of Galilee Rhode Island this past Saturday and had a fast bite on some serious size stripers. It was unknown the day before if the boat could get to the fishing grounds because of high winds. The Captain advised us to meet him at

the boat the next morn-ing, and a last minute decision on weather to cancel the trip would be made then. As we approached the Marina, we noticed very little wind, but the seas were still choppy from the day before.

The Captain and Mate showed up on time (5 a.m.) , and the decision to leave the marina was made. As we entered the opening at the outer wall of Galilee, waves were breaking over the wall and the boat started to list from side to side. At the time it did not seem to be a good Idea to go fish-ing at Block Island, but as we ventured farther out to sea the waves did

not seem that bad. After a one and a half hour boat ride we reached our destination and the mate quickly let out two lines equipped with umbrella rigs. It is not this writer’s favorite way to fish but my son Ralph Jr. invited me along with his bud-dies for a Father’s Day gift.

When the mate fin-ished setting the lines to the proper depth it was only a matter of min-utes after a voice shout-ed “Fish On!” Suddenly the other rod was bend-ing with another fish slowly stripping the line from the reel. The Captain slowed the boat to a crawl and two of our fishing party were

reeling in a fish. After a somewhat brief battle, two impressive stripers were brought into the boat. One was at least 40 pounds, and the other was in the 30-pound range.

The mate quickly placed the bass into the live well and the umbrel-la rigs were again set to the proper depth and placed in the rod holders. Suddenly, both rods were

bending with a couple more stripers. When all was said and done our group had landed six nice stripers all in the 30-to-40-pound range in only two hours. All of the stripers were bright silvery fish with numerous sea lice on them indicating they had been in the area a very short time, arriving from deeper cold waters. It was time to break out the fluking rods and head for our new fishing hole.

The seas were quite calm, and I started to wonder if the weath-erman had his report of high winds all day was wrong. After fishing for a half hour numerous short fluke were caught and released. After an hour of fishing only a few were of legal size. Suddenly, every-thing changed, and the wind started to pick up. Fishing with eight-ounce weights to keep the bait on the bottom, had us soon using 10 ounces and then 12 ounces, try-ing to hold bottom. The wind kept increasing and it was time to head home. By the time we entered Salt Pond, the waves were smashing the breaker wall. We had left the area just in time avoiding a major bumpy ride to port.

Fishing live eels is a method that this writer enjoys for catching strip-ers

Using a light rod pro-vides some great fishing excitement, and the bass often needs to be chased down to retrieve some of the line that had nearly emptied the spool, from the initial run of a big striper. Other methods include using chunk bait and drifting it away from the boat while anchored. Trolling tubes also works well imi-tating a live eel. It is often tipped off with a fresh live seaworm, or one of the plastic scent-ed baits imitating a sea-worm. With the high price of seaworms today the plastics work nearly as well. Jigging over a school of stripers, or surf fishing all provide great opportunities to catch a big striper. If you get the striper fishing fever, it is best to take the wife or girlfriend along, or she is going to home alone an awful lot.

This week’s pictures show my son, Ralph Jr., with his pool winning fish, and Tracy Cormier with his runner up fish.

High School, selected for the thorough and creative way they approached the sorting problem through the develop-ment of a conveyor belt, their detailed design, well thought out flow diagram and clear explanation of their itera-tive thought process, according to a Challenge statement. The innovation award winner is a team from Uxbridge

High School, selected for innovative approach to sorting and demonstrated consideration for future iterations and improvement.

“We could not be prouder of our pro-grams, the teachers, and, most impor-tantly, the students,” said Uxbridge High School Principal Michael Rubin. “The work being done to ensure our students the opportunity to learn in such authentic ways is really quite awesome, and we are thrilled that our students, no matter their success on

the challenges, get the opportunity to receive feedback from industry profes-sionals.”

Project Lead the Way encourages students to learn to be adaptive, crit-ical thinkers ready to solve complex problems and clearly communicate solutions. Mass STEM Hub partners with innovative organizations such as MITRE to create opportunities for stu-dents to showcase their work and con-nect with industry professionals.

“We are thrilled with our partnership

with MITRE, through which we were able to connect students and STEM professionals,” stated Andreina Parisi-Amon, Director of Partnerships for Mass STEM Hub. “It was so energizing to hear the engineers and computer scientists discussing the students’ proj-ects, drawing parallels to their own work, and providing real world feed-back. We’re excited to continue build-ing opportunities like this for students.”

BY NICK ETHIERSPORTS STAFF WRITER

AUBURN — As Uxbridge High varsi-ty head baseball coach Peter Rice said, his team would routinely come up with a big hit in its games and then rely on sound defense and exceptional pitching to guide the Spartans to victory in 2019.

“All year long we’d get runners on base and we’d get that big hit,” explained Rice, whose team had a 17-3 record through the regular season. “You get a two-, three-run lead and we’d be in good shape.”

But Uxbridge, the second seed in the Central Mass. Division 3 Tournament, “just couldn’t get that big hit,” in their semifinal round loss to No. 14 Bay Path Regional on Wednesday, June 12 at Auburn High, according to Rice.

“We had a couple hard-hit balls, but right to them. We just couldn’t get the ball to drop when we needed it to,” added Rice.

The end result was a 3-1 loss for the Spartans, ending their season at 19-4 after winning a pair of District games. The Minutemen, meanwhile, advanced

to the championship game where it lost to No. 5 Hudson High, 3-2. Bay Path fin-ished 14-10.

“I don’t think overall it was a disap-pointing season, just a disappointing finish,” Rice said of the season that included the best record in the entire 12-team Southern Worcester County League. “We had the talent to continue on.”

Uxbridge did strike first against the Minutemen, plating a run in the bot-tom of the first inning. Kevin Siefken led off the frame with a single. Siefken then stole second base and he later scored following sacrifice flies off the bats of Jackson Haker and Harrison Mansfield, respectively.

But Bay Path didn’t deter and they scored a pair of runs off Uxbridge pitch-er Jake Usenia in the top of the third to grab a 2-1 lead. Nate Shoemaker was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and Andrew Flanagan followed with a sacrifice fly.

“I thought it was manageable to come back from,” said Rice. “[Usenia] was able to battle through just letting up the two runs, so I thought we were still in good shape.

“He did have a few guys on base, but he battled through that and got out of each inning,” Rice added on Usenia’s outing. “He’s more of a contact pitch-er…and we made the plays behind him, but he got out of a lot of tough spots.”

Usenia didn’t allow any runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, but then ran into some trouble in the seventh when Dylan Brien padded Bay Path’s lead with an RBI single.

Siefken then finished the game by pitching the final third of that seventh inning.

The Spartans then went down quietly in the home half of the seventh — Brien finishing off his complete game outing — to conclude their season.

Uxbridge saw Mansfield, the team’s

ace, pitch in both the first round and quarterfinal of the tournament to send the Spartans to the semifinals. Uxbridge won both of those games — versus No. 15 Monty Tech and No. 10 Blackstone Valley Tech — by the same 3-0 final. Mansfield threw a combined 14 shutout innings in those games and struck out a staggering 31 batters. He only allowed three hits and two walks in those vic-tories.

“He stepped up when he needed to and really stepped up with changing up his routine,” Rice said of Mansfield, a southpaw, pitching on short rest. “All year long he had double-digit strikeouts in every game he pitched. He went 10-0 and tied a school record for wins in a season. He has the career and season strikeout record — he had an unbeliev-able season for us.”

Northbridge’s Masciarelli adds two more national

Sydney Masciarelli of Northbridge became a national champion in two events at the New Balance Outdoor Track and Field Nationals in Greensboro, N.C.

Masciarelli won the 5K on Friday night (June 14) with a time of 16:16.20, which is also a sophomore nation-al record. She won the 2-mile on Saturday night with a time of 10:11.99, winning by an 11-second margin.

This is Masciarelli’s third national championship this year as she also won the 2018 Foot Locker National Cross Country Championship in December.

MARLBOROUGH — Just after the clock struck 9 p.m. on Tuesday evening, June 11, and the Blackstone Valley Tech boys’ varsity lacrosse team was having its final postgame breakdown meet-ing of the season — that was because the Beavers lost to St. Bernard’s High, 12-5, in the semifinals of the Central/Western Mass. Division 3 Tournament, at Assabet Valley — the players and coaches weren’t distraught or disap-pointment. Instead, BVT showed a sense of pride as smiles crept onto their faces.

That sight made head coach Andrew Barksdale quite emotional after the Beavers’ season had officially ended at an impressive 19-3.

“We had an incredible season this year. These kids, I couldn’t be more proud of them,” said a choked up Barksdale. “We ran into a good team. Last year we lost to these guys 19-0, we didn’t even show up. This year we came and we lost 12-5. We knew we were going to be in it.”

The Beavers, who a season ago lost to the Bernardians by that 19-0 count in the first round of the postseason, have come a long way in 2019. BVT finished the regular season at 15-2 for the best recrod in school history, then won two games in the State Vocational Large Schools Tournament to win that title for the first time in school history, and then, as the No. 7 seed, won a pair of District games to advance to the tour-nament semifinals for the first time in school history.

After defeating the 10th ranked Advanced Math and Science Academy in the first round at home, 7-6, the Beavers headed to No. 2 Wahconah Regional on Friday, June 7 in the District quarterfinals.

“We took a three-hour bus ride because of a fatal accident. We were down 9-3 at the half and then we decided to wake up — we never quit,” Barksdale

said of the eventual 11-10 victory. “We had a hell of a game.”

But, against third seeded St. Bernard’s (19-2), BVT trailed at the half, 8-2, and could never fully recover.

“All that took a toll on us,” Barksdale said of playing so many important games over a short stretch of time. “In the last month and a half we were play-ing three or four games a week.”

Although the Beavers were down at the half, they showed fight in the third quarter by winning the period, 3-2, including a pair of late strikes, to get within reach at 10-5.

“We never gave up, and that’s been our theme this year,” said Barksdale.

St. Bernard’s scored the game’s final two goals to account for the 12-5 final. The Bernardians were led by goal-scor-ers Michael Ginnity (four), Michael Provencher (three), Domenic Valera (two), Michael Root (two) and Michael Hougham (one).

For Valley Tech, Trever Harper led the charge with three second-half goals. Luke Carey and Jack Kinsella also scored for the Beavers.

When asked about all of the accom-plishments that his team achieved, Barksdale noted that they were all spe-cial before adding which one hit him the hardest on a personal level.

“We beat Shawsheen [Tech in the first round of the State Vocational Tournament] for the first time in prob-ably 10-plus years. For me that was cool because I played here and we lost every year,” said Barksdale, a 2011 graduate of Valley Tech. “To win a Vocational Championship, we never had that when I played so it was cool to do it now.”

Barksdale expects his team to be back in 2020.

“They exceeded my expectations and we can only go up from here,” he said.

St. Bernard’s then lost to top seeded Grafton High in the Division 3 final, 13-6, on Friday, June 14.

BY KEN POWERSSPORTS CORRESPONDENT

WORCESTER — Perseverance is one way to describe the Leicester High varsity softball team’s eventual 13-4 extra-inning win over Blackstone Valley Tech (BVT) in a Central Mass. Division 2 Tournament semifinal on Wednesday, June 12 at Worcester State University’s Rockwood Field.

Wolverines’ senior Hannah Wickson had another.

“If our team has any-thing, we have heart, man,” Wickson said emphatically. “We’ve been playing together since we were 6 or 7 years old. This team has a real-ly special bond. I think that’s what gets us a lot of our wins. We did not play our best this game, but we came together when we needed to and found a way to win.”

Up until the fifth inning BVT seemed to be dictat-ing the way the game was progressing.

“We were in control up to that point,” Beavers’ head coach Peter Cardoza said. “Hayleigh [O’Connor] was pitching pretty well, the defense was making all the plays and we were holding them at bay. At the plate we were hitting; even when we were making

outs they were loud outs. It’s funny how quick these things can change.”

Leicester tied the game, 3-3, in the top of the fifth inning, but Valley Tech retook the lead in the bottom of the frame, 4-3. The Wolverines came back with a run in the top of the sixth to again tie the score, this time at 4-4. And after a scoreless sev-enth, Leicester exploded for nine runs in the top of the eighth inning.

Leicester head coach Dave Stanick was not sur-prised when he was told Wickson talked about the heart of this team.

“That sounds like Hannah Wickson to me,” Stanick said. “She is one of the reasons we do have heart. She is a great lead-er and knows how to pick up every player on this team when they need to be picked up.

“They’ve been togeth-er since they were lit-tle girls; this group has played together a long time,” Stanick continued. “They rely on each other and they are always right there for each other. They do a good job of staying as a cohesive unit. That’s a big part of the reason why we could make this happen.”

With the win 18-3 Leicester, the No. 3 seed and defending Division 2 champion, returned

to the title game where it played top-seeded Hudson High and lost, 11-0. The win over BVT was the Wolverines’ 15th in a row. Blackstone Valley Tech, the No. 2 seed, finished its season 21-3. The Beavers began the season by winning their first 19 regular-sea-son games.

“Defensively we really struggled today. We real-ly didn’t play like our-selves in the field,” said Leicester senior Kate McKay, who put on early exclamation point on the eighth-inning offensive show by cranking a two-run homer to left field to turn a 5-4 lead into a 7-4 advantage. “We just put the bat on the ball toward the end; we were final-ly able to hit the outside pitches. We knew that’s what [O’Connor] likes to throw. We practiced tak-ing the ball to the oppo-site field and it paid off in the end because we final-ly got around to doing it.”

McKay (two hits) said she thought she had hom-ered when she made con-tact in the first of her two eighth-inning at-bats.

“It came off the bat and it just sounded right,” McKay said about her 10th homer of the sea-son. “I don’t know what the pitch was, fastball or curve, but it was a strike and it was a pitch I knew I could handle.”

The Wolverines pounded out 18 hits off of O’Connor and Jillian Newcomb, who came on in relief of O’Connor in the eighth. Seniors Caitlin Kemp (three sin-gles, triple) and Wickson led the way with four hits each, while classmate Melanie May and junior Maddie Hippert both had three-hit games.

Cardoza was disap-pointed when he spoke about the loss, but was quick to look at the big picture.

“Our goal this season

was to win Districts. When you get to a certain level your expectations change; they go from being happy you made the tournament to want-ing to win it. It’s a bless-ing and a curse,” Cardoza said. “Every team feels the pressure; it’s a privi-lege to play in that pres-sure. It’s like when you go on a rollercoaster. You’ve got that queasi-ness in your stomach but you know it’s going to be great. That’s what you play for.

“So while we feel good about it, we’re still dis-appointed. But that’s not a bad thing, that helps you get better,” Cardoza continued. “Winning Districts is a proper goal for them; it’s doable. So, we didn’t do what we wanted but we had a great year and finished with the most wins in school history. They’ll appreciate what they accomplished over time but right now it stings a little bit.”

BVT was playing with-out sisters Abby and Alyssa Clark, who were in Missouri attending their older sister Hannah’s graduation from basic training. Cardoza said after her graduation Hannah Clark is being immediately deployed to Germany and that Abby and Alyssa wanted to be there to see Hannah off.

My last column offered suggestions for antiquing on Cape Cod this summer. There are plenty of other great vacation spots in New England and many more oppor-tunities to look for antiques. I’ll focus on Southern New England in this column.

Connecticut has

some coastal vacation destinations with great antique shopping. “The Antiques Depot” in Old Saybrook describes itself as “a Warehouse Antique Center featuring 3500 square feet of fine quality antique and used furniture, crystal, pot-tery, clocks, artwork, estate jewelry, watches, sterling silver and much more!” The Mystic and Stonington areas have attractions including the Mystic Seaport Museum, Mystic Aquarium, Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun Casinos. One of the local antique shops is “Grand & Water” in Stonington. They tout that they’ve “been buying and

selling antiques and objects d’art” for over 2 decades. Holly Hock Farm Antiques in Mystic website describes themselves as “a major retailer of quality antiques and custom made fur-niture.” There are many other shops along the Connecticut coast. More informa-tion is available on the Connecticut Office of Tourism’s website www.ctvisit.com.

Rhode Island also has many great options for antiquing. If your plans take you to Misquamicut Beach, Homespun Cottage Antiques & Collectibles is located in Westerly. In addition to their shop, they also run auctions. Their website notes that there are many other antique shops nearby. Newport is another great Rhode Island antique destination. Armory Antique Marketplace boasts over 70 dealers in their 6,000 square foot location. There are plenty of other shops near the Rhode

Island coast. Jules Antiques & General Store in Richmond houses “70 dealers in our spa-cious 8,000 square-foot rustic farm building.” Dealers at the General Stanton Inn Flea Market in Charlestown offer antiques and newer items on Sundays.

Traveling further east into Massachusetts, New Bedford Antiques at the Cove is a huge shop with 260 dealers in a 55,000 square foot facility. Their Web site notes that they are open seven days a week in a refur-bished mill building. You’d expect the Plymouth area and the rest of the South Shore to be home to many antique shops, and you’d be right. Main Street Marketplace in Plymouth is “an eclectic antique and col-lectible marketplace” that has over 100 vendors, according to their website. The Fancy Flea antique show takes place on June 22 at Edaville Railroad in Carver. If you prefer the North Shore, Oldies Marketplace in Newburyport is an “indoor/outdoor marketplace on Newburyport’s waterfront.” Todd Farm Antique and Flea

Market in Rowley has been running on Sundays for 47 years. If you prefer the moun-tains to the ocean, the Great Barrington Antiques Center in the Berkshires is a 5,000 square foot multi-dealer shop.

If you’ve gotten too much sun this summer, you can go inside for some shade at local antique shops or go to a flea market and walk a little after those big summer barbecues.

We continue to make pick-ups for our Aug. 29 auction

in Worcester. We have other sales and appraisal events in the works. Please see www.centralmassauctions.com for details on these and other events.

Summer antiquing in Southern New England

You’ve grabbed your water bottle, sunscreen and hat for a hike in the park or some gardening. Add a bit of tick protection to your must-have items when you head out the door for an adventure, to garden or play.

Continue enjoying the outdoors by enlisting a variety of strategies to limit your risk of exposure to ticks and the disease pathogens they transmit. Here are just a few of the ways to increase your safety and enjoyment.

Wear light colored clothing to more easily spot the tick before it moves onto your skin. Wear long pants and tuck them into your socks and tuck your shirt into your pants. Ticks often gain access through pant legs or shirttails and crawl up looking for a place to settle in and feed.

Consider spraying your clothing with an insecticide labeled for repelling and killing ticks. Spray your clothing and let it dry before wearing. Or invest in pre-treated clothing for gardening, hiking or other outdoor activities. Read and follow label directions carefully.

Always conduct a tick check on your-self, children and pets after spending time outdoors. Studies show that reg-ular tick checks are the most effective way to prevent diseases transmitted by ticks. Ticks can feed anywhere but are often found in and around the ears and

hair, inside the bellybutton, under the arms, around the waist, back of the knees and between the legs.

Check your clothing inside and out. Ticks can survive for several days in the house and even when

washed in warm or hot water. An hour in the dryer on high heat will kill them.

Shower within two hours after spend-ing time outdoors. The water can help dislodge any unattached ticks plus this provides a second opportunity to con-duct a t , ick check. Studies found this practice greatly reduces the risk of tick-borne diseases.

Manage your landscape to reduce the tick population. Keep the grass mowed and remove brush, ground-covers, firewood piles and birdfeeders near the home or where the family frequents. Keep swing sets away from the woods and placed on woodchip mulch. Eliminate invasive barberry, honeysuckle and buckthorn that create a tick-friendly habitat.

Many of us are doing the opposite. We are eliminating lawns, increas-ing groundcover, planting more trees, shrubs and flowers to create more diverse wildlife-friendly habi-tats. There is limited evidence that increasing animal diversity may help

reduce the rate of tick associated dis-eases. Unfortunately, the fragmented woodlands and ecosystems do favor deer and white-footed mice that are key to the maintenance and transmission of tick-borne diseases.

Consider creating a tick safe zone area where your family frequents and limit your time in tick infested areas. Widen pathways, prune trees to increase light, exclude deer and discourage rodents to reduce the risk of exposure.

And if additional control is needed to create a tick safe zone, consider using a pesticide like Summit Tick & Flea Spray that contains permethrin. You’ll only need small amounts at the right time of the year for effective control. One application in spring or fall is usu-ally sufficient for managing the ticks that can transmit Lyme disease. For the dog tick, also known as wood ticks, an application can be made anytime after the adults emerge. As always read and follow label directions.

Make these practices part of your routine so you and your family can con-tinue to safely enjoy all your favorite outdoor activities.

News, really close to homeStonebridgePress.com

Millions of people hit the links to play golf rec-reationally, and many young stars of the game are inspiring others to try their hand at this difficult sport.

In its “U.S. Golf Economy Report,” released in 2018, WE ARE GOLF, a coalition of golf’s governing bodies, found there was a 20 percent increase in junior golf participation in the five years between 2011 and 2016. Plus, there were 2.5 million golfers who played for the first time in 2016, up from 1.5 million in 2011. Even more exciting for the industry is non-golfers interested in playing golf doubled to 12.8 million.

There has never been a better time to play golf.

However, to the uninitiated, golf can be compli-cated. There are many different rules and all sorts of equipment to learn and lingo to follow. In fact, the experts at Golf Digest say that some people can be scared off even before they hit the green. Fortunately, all it takes is a little research to get started on learning about and ultimately embracing the game of golf. Here are six ways to get started.

1. Start off on a practice range and not on the golf course. The range is a great place to acclimate one-self to the game and practice your swings.

2. Hook up with someone who can show you the ropes. Going it alone can tame feelings of embar-rassment from being new to the game. However,

having someone in your corner guiding you can make it easier to learn and love the game. Work with a local golf pro or enlist the help of a friend or family mem-ber with some golfing experience.

3. Learn all you can about the clubs, including which kinds are used for var-ious types of shots. While a golfer is allowed to carry as many as 14 clubs in a bag, you will not need that many when first starting out, nor do you have to invest thousands of dollars in a set of clubs. It’s possible to find used clubs online if you want to try the sport before committing.

4. Lean toward more loft when select-ing clubs. Look for drivers that have at least 10 degrees of loft and fairway woods that start at 17 degrees, offers Golf Digest. This will make it easier for beginners to get the ball into the air and can reduce sidespin so shots fly more straight.

5. Pay attention to short shots as well as the long ones. Spend as much time practicing with wedges and the putter as the driver to really tighten up all of your shots.

6. Learn the proper grip and stance by working with a coach. Invest in a glove to avoid callused hands, as you’ll be spend-ing significant time practicing.

With these tips, novice golfers can get on the road to developing a great golf game relatively quickly.
