Local daredevil visits CBA, shares stories of survival
BY OLIVIA RICHMAN
NEWS STAFF WRITER
Olivia Richman photo
“I can do anything!” Doug Danger has appeared on numerous
TV shows throughout the years, including ones on Spike and
FOX, and jumped over 1,500 times in various shows. He also
is a stage IV cancer survivor.
STURBRIDGE
—
Doug Senecal was a
guest speaker at the
Community
Business
Association’s
Friday,
April 24 meeting. He
came with a very positive
message — if you believe
in yourself, you can make
it happen. Never give up
on your dreams.
Senecal is better known
as “Doug Danger,” a
motorcycle daredevil, the
only other person to ride
on Evel Knievel’s Harley
Davidson XR 750. Doug
will be riding that motorcycle in August at Sturgis
Buffalo Chip when he
attempts a 22-car jump,
the only jump that Evel
Knievel failed.
Many people have
asked him why, at 53
years old, he would
attempt a “suicide jump.”
Why would he risk his
life for a jump that is
deemed impossible by
many? Will he make the
jump?
“Nobody knows the
answer to that,” said
Doug. “Some of you
may be truck drivers
and your job is to drive
trucks across the United
States. Some people may
be teachers who educate
children to give them a
brighter future. But on
Aug. 6, my job is to take
that Harley at 80 miles
per hour and jump it
further than anyone has
ever done on a Harley.
It’s just got to be. I’ve got
to be me.”
Doug Danger decided
he wanted to be a motorcycle jumper at five years
old when he saw Evel
Knievel in Las Vegas.
Evel crashed that day.
Doug looked up at his dad
and said, “I could have
made that.” Since then
he has done over 1,500
jumps in shows.
Inspired
by
Evel
Knievel and his anti-drug
messages, Doug started
biking in his hometown
of Palmer. He practiced
in a field with his friends.
He was soon able to jump
four cars. He bought
his first motorcycle. He
called local newspapers
to cover his 10-car jump.
Even though he crashed,
he made headlines all
over the northeast area.
He started calling racetracks and doing shows.
Soon he was on the Joey
Chitwood Road Show.
“I
loved
growing
up in this area,” said
Doug, who now lives in
Wales until he eventu-
ally moves to Florida to
escape the winter. “A lot
of people say there’s no
opportunity. But all you
have to do is travel, that’s
all. You don’t want to live
in Hollywood. There are
beautiful mountains out

Lucky ducks invade Westville for Auxiliary fundraiser
Events bring out local families
on sunny Saturday
BY OLIVIA RICHMAN
NEWS STAFF WRITER
SOUTHBRIDGE
— The 24th Annual
Harrington Hospital
Auxiliary
Lucky
Duck and Family Fun
Day was in full swing
Saturday, April 26.
To
support
the
Auxiliary, event-goers
purchased rubber ducks
to swim in a big kiddie
pool. At the end of the
day a few lucky ducks
are picked out of the
pool.
“It’s a great fundraiser,” said Harrington
Hospital
Auxiliary
President Betsy Pepel.
“People have fun while
supporting us. We fulfill
grants for the hospital
and donate to the hospital in other ways. We
also have a scholarship
program for kids going
into the health field.”
The event coincided with the Sturbridge
Lion Club’s River Race.
Lucky Duck participants cheered on canoers and kayakers as
they sped past them at
Westville Recreation
Area. The idea was to
have two fundraisers at
the same time to have
more people out to support both causes.
Different organizations from the area
attended the Lucky

Celebrating Head Start ‘heroes’
WCAC honors those who assisted after relocation
BY KEVIN FLANDERS
NEWS STAFF WRITER
AUBURN — When a local organization reached out for help in its efforts
to continue offering programs to area
children, several residents and community leaders stepped up to provide
assistance.
The Worcester Community Action
Council, Inc. (WCAC) held a celebration last week at St. Joseph’s Parish
Center in Auburn to acknowledge and
thank several key individuals and
organizations that assisted the agency.
Following the emergency closure of a
Head Start site in Oxford due to a damaged roof back in February, 81 children
needed to be relocated to other venues.
That’s when several “Head Start
Heroes”, as they were described at the
ceremony, came up with solutions that
saved the day for WCAC and the Head
Start kids. At the celebration last week,
WCAC presented certificates of appreciation and potted plants – featuring
handprints of Head Start students – to
individuals who played a critical role in
the relocation of the displaced students
to three alternative sites. These venues
included the Guild of St. Agnes Daycare
Center in Webster, St. Joseph’s Parish
Center in Auburn, and expanded classrooms at WCAC’s existing site at Cole
Avenue in Southbridge.
Reverend Paul Bomba and Lisa Wass,
of St. Joseph’s Parish, were both honored at the event. St. Joseph’s provided
three classrooms serving 32 students
from Oxford and Millbury, and the staff
was eager to go the extra mile to help
the kids.
“I think it’s great to get Head Start

accomplishments last week.
rolling again,” Bomba said. “They were
in a pickle and asked for our help. We
were more than willing to accommodate them.”
Additionally, Auburn Town Manager
Julie Jacobson and the town’s department heads were honored, including
Matthew Benoit, Darlene Coyle and
Eileen Dyson-Alexander, who expedited local permitting and site reviews
required to allow use of the parish center for Head Start early childhood education.
“The disruption caused by this unanticipated closure posed a severe hardship on the families who rely on Head
Start care for their children,” said
WCAC Executive Director Jill Dagilis.
“We are eternally grateful for the many
individuals and organizations who
stepped right up and answered our call
for help. We were welcomed with open
arms into all three of these new sites
and are thrilled to have been able to
secure high quality space to continue to
provide these most vulnerable children
and their families these important educational services.”
Other individuals recognized for
their efforts included Ann Flynn, of the
Guild of St. Agnes Daycare Center in
Webster, which offered WCAC the use
of a classroom for seventeen students
from the Webster area.
Moreover, AA Transportation’s
Linda Perno was also honored. AA
Transportation provides busing to
students to both the Southbridge and
Auburn sites, rearranging routes and
even adding students from Southbridge
who previously didn’t have access to
transportation.
Not in attendance at the ceremony
but also acknowledged for their assistance were Southbridge Public Schools
Superintendent Sheryl Stanton and
Director of Operations Walter Solzak,
who expedited expansion of WCAC’s
center space at 25 Cole Avenue by bringing two additional classrooms into service. Paul Fontaine and his staff at
Liberty Movers, of Leicester, were also
recognized. Surrounded by nearly three
feet of snow, the folks from Liberty
Movers were able to move five early
childhood classrooms and all of their
belongings to the alternate sites.
Head Start is a federal program that
increases the school preparedness of
children up to age five from low-income
families by enhancing their cognitive,
social and emotional development.
Head Start programs provide a learning
environment that supports children’s
growth in such areas as language, literacy and social and emotional development.
Celebrating its 50th year, WCAC is the
federally designated anti-poverty agency for central and southern Worcester
County.

NEWS STAFF WRITER
SOUTHBRIDGE — Saint John Paul
II Food Pantry’s Senior Supplement
Program is the fastest-growing program
at the church.
Back in 2009 there were an average
of 12 seniors coming to the pantry per
month. In 2014 the number reached 145
households. According to Co-Director
Len Lazure, this proves that there is
a need for assistance for seniors in
Southbridge, Sturbridge and the surrounding area.
Many seniors in the area are on a
fixed income and their Social Security
and pensions often do not cover the cost
of living. With expensive medications,
rent and heat, sometimes seniors have
to choose between buying medicine or
groceries that week.
Ever since the Senior Supplement
Plan opened, Maryann Rooney, a

Southbridge resident, has been coming every month for her handicapped
cousin.
“I think this program is very important. Some of these elderly people don’t
get food stamps and if they do, it’s very
minimal, like maybe $30 a month. You
can’t live off of that. They aren’t getting
enough money to get by,” said Rooney.
“This church helps for everything, not
just food. They’ll help pay for your rent.
They’ll help pay a utility bill. If you
need medication and don’t have the
money they’ll help. I love this church. I
can’t ask for a better church.”
She went on to echo the majority of
the seniors who visit the pantry and
said that the people who volunteer at
the Senior Supplement Program are
“fantastic.” They will answer any question you have. They are polite and helpful. They’ll even bring groceries out to
the car if needed.
A 77-year-old senior who wished not
to be named said that when he didn’t
have a ride to the pantry a few years ago
there was a volunteer that would drive
him to and from the church.
As an older man with a fixed income
who lives alone, the senior said that the
program is very beneficial to him. It
saves him around $60 a month, he estimates. He continued, “If I didn’t have
this program I would have to go without
or I’d have to sacrifice something else
that month.”
According to Lazure, many seniors
have worked hard all of their lives.
Because of pride, seniors preferred not
to come to the pantry and didn’t want
to ask for help. To help, Lazure said
the seniors were given their own special day to come each month and it
was renamed the Senior Supplement
Program to avoid the stigma some of the
elderly citizens may have previously
felt.
“They worked all their life. They have
reached their golden years only to find
they don’t have enough money for rent
and medication. They often have to
choose between medication and food,”
said Lazure.
St. John Paul II Food Pantry was
founded in 1991 by Father Peter Joyce.
The church began to realize that the
seniors were an underserved part of
society and gave them their own program, which started in William Mason’s
living room. Mason, who has since
passed away, and Father Peter wanted
to address senior problems directly.

Sturbridge resident Sharon Kostigen
said she started coming about a year
ago and finds the program to be “fantastic.” She said that they offer a wide
variety of food and there’s a little bit of
everything.
Co-Director Nelson Boiteau said that
they have set up the Senior Supplement
Program like a grocery store. This helps
make sure that each senior gets the
nutrition they need instead of giving
certain items away if they don’t like it.
“This winter many people had to
choose between heat and groceries,”
said Boiteau. “Seniors are the ones who
really need it. I see it a lot. Some of
their homes have bare cabinets. Some
of them receive so little from social
security that it won’t even pay for their
medication. They need to eat.”
St. John Paul II Food Pantry gets
their food from several sources, including the Worcester County Food Bank
and donations from various businesses
in the area. Volunteers also buy a lot
of the food themselves. Food drives are
one of the ways where the Food Pantry
can get the donations they need.
St. John Paul II Food Pantry’s Spring
Food Drive will be on May 2. Volunteers
will be outside of area supermarkets
from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The food pantry is in need of any non-perishable food
item, including cereal, crackers, jelly,
soups, macaroni
and cheese, canned
ravioli,
canned
fruit, coffee, juices
and pancake mix.

The hunt continues at Capen Hill
‘Great Egg Hunt’ brings families from all over region
BY OLIVIA RICHMAN
NEWS STAFF WRITER
CHARLTON — Capen Hill Nature
Sanctuary had its 31st Great Egg Hunt
on Saturday, April 25.
More than 150 volunteers come
help out – including Boy Scout troops,
National Honors Society and women
from a WPI Sorority. Volunteers boiled,
dyed and decorated over 5,400 eggs to
look like animals, which were hidden
throughout the sanctuary’s 86 acres of
trail. It is Capen Hill’s major fundraiser
of the year.
As a nonprofit, the money raised at
the Great Egg Hunt goes towards operating the sanctuary, including payroll,
heat, electricity, animal care and educational programs. The Great Egg Hunt
is also an opportunity for local families
to discover Capen Hill. Many people are
unaware that there’s a sanctuary and
trails right in their neighborhood, open
365 days a year from dawn until dusk.
“It opens their eyes to know how
lucky they are to have a sanctuary
here,” said Director Barbara Frederick.
“It’s a place where wildlife can live without being disturbed. There’s so much
construction going on in this world.
It’s good to have land that will never be
developed. It will be here forever, we’re
hoping. Wildlife needs somewhere to
not be disturbed, including animals,
plants and insects.”
The Great Egg Hunt had raffle tables,
lunch, face painting, prizes and guests
could also check out the Visitor’s Center
and see some rescued birds, rabbits and
even a chinchilla. There were some
special eggs hidden around the trials
The Great Egg Hunt also had lunch. Guests gathered and had a picnic
in the nice weather.
as well that allowed children to win a
grand prize.
“In July we will be running a science and nature camp,” said Frederick,
“where kids can learn all about the
outdoors and their environment. It gets
them away from their video games.”

Concert performance at JHL a
‘perfect match’ with Earth Day
BY OLIVIA RICHMAN
NEWS STAFF WRITER
STURBRIDGE — Just in time for
Earth Day, the Joshua Hyde Library
presented “Vic & Sticks Recycled
Rhythm Band,” funded by the Friends
of the Library. Vicki and Rick Eithier,
a husband and wife team, entertained a
full crowd with puppets, singing, homemade maracas, catchy tunes and slapstick comedy on Tuesday, April 21.
“Since Earth Day is tomorrow, we
thought this would be a perfect match,”
said Children’s Librarian Patricia Lalli.
“We’ve heard a lot about Vic & Sticks, a
lot of great reviews. I find that a lot of
kids are already knowledgeable about
recycling, but it’s good to remind them
in a fun manner like Vic & Sticks do.
Music is a great educator. I hope they’ll
learn a lot from it.”
Taking place during April vacation
week, the library’s basement was full
of children willing to dance, sing and
shake some maracas made from recycled plastic containers. They were even
introduced to Milkshake, a marionette
cow made from recycled materials
around the house.
“I’m big on recycling and reusing,”
said Vicki. “I think I like to have a
message because our world is such a
throwaway place. I find treasures in
things people discard. I present that to
the children in a fun and lighthearted
way. We don’t want to preach at them
but I think they can see that all of Rick’s
instruments are ‘junk’ that wouldn’t
have value to somebody else, but they
have value and use to us.”
Vic & Sticks started nine years ago
in 2006. Vickie had written a children’s
book and had the chance to read it at
a children’s event. People laughed and
enjoyed it. Vickie decided she really
liked the interaction and began writing
songs for a show. Now, Vic & Sticks
perform for children and for senior citizens as well with a “trip down memory
lane.” Vickie also does balloon animals
as Noodle Daisy.
“I don’t know what’s better — performing for children or for the seniors,”
said Rick. “We just love smiles. We try
to get the kids involved and come out
of their shell. We both used to be shy.
It’s nice to bring kids in and have them
shine.”
Rick started drumming when he was
younger and then as a teenager. When
he started playing with recycled materials he loved it. He enjoys the combination of comedy and music, as opposed to
the “serious” drumming he used to do.
Now he has a real blast.
“Sticks is the visual part of the show,”
said Vickie. “Sometimes I don’t even
think it matters what I sing because
they are all watching him! We don’t
want to sing to children and perform to
them. We want them to perform with
us. It’s very interactive. It’s the same
with seniors. We want them to sing
with us and enjoy the show.”
Vickie said she loves children and
making people smile and laugh. Her
degree is in Early Childhood Education.
Many people ask her if she’s ever been
a teacher.
“God gives you the desire of your
heart,” she said. “I love what I do. I have
a passion for creating and writing.”
Olivia Richman can be reached at 508909-4132 or by email at olivia@stonebridgepress.com.
Vicki and Rick enjoy getting the crowd involved and hope even shy
kids will come out of their shell.
Olivia Richman photos
Vicki and Rick Eithier performed as “Vic & Sticks Recycled Rhythm
Band,” a musical comedy for the whole family at the Joshua Hyde
Library.
The children took turns joining the band “on stage.” A song about
growing up to work at the circus had a few children wearing animal
hats.
Vicki said it’s important to spread the idea of recycling to children.
Patricia Lalli said this was a fun way to get the kids aware.

made from all recycled materials from their home.
The kids learn a new dance.
Rick wore many different hats throughout
the performance, each getting more and
more attention from the children.
Vic & Sticks Recycled Rhythm Band was founded in 2006. The couple also performs for senior centers.
Rick’s Kermit the Frog hat was a crowd favorite.

Celebrating spring blooms and buds
New Englanders have long searched
for signs of spring after a long, cold winter, and few promises of warm weather are more welcome than the annual
arrival of early spring buds. From fuzzy
pussy willows to blazing golden forsythia, nature ushers in the season with an
abundance of color, texture and beauty that has inspired artist and poets
for centuries. With this in mind, this
week’s column will review some fun
facts and planting tips about nature’s
nostalgic blooms and buds.
Pussy Willows: Native to the
Northeast, the tiny, furry grey buds
of the pussy willow plant have long
served as a welcome sign of spring.
Long stalks of branches bearing “kittens toes” spring up in wetlands across
New England, to be plucked and displayed in vases as a reminder warmer
weather is on its way.
***
Did you know? Pussy willows do
more than decorate a dismal wintry
landscape, as they are very beneficial
to wildlife. Wild birds, particularly cardinals and finches, consume the flower
buds, and densely growing pussy willow shrubs offer nesting and shelter for
a variety of native birds. Bees rely on
the early season blooms of the pussy
willow for pollen, and some species of
butterfly larvae feed on the pussy willow’s leaves.
Deer, beaver, grouse and squirrels
all include willow in their diets, and
the leaves of the pussy willow provide
much needed vitamins and nutrients
including hefty doses of Vitamin C and
zinc.
***
Propagating
Pussy
Willows:
Propagating pussy willows is not difficult and usually results in success. An
easy way to plant pussy willows in the
spring season is simply to cut a foot
long branch of new growth and insert it
into moist soil. Sink it into the ground
at least three inches and allow a few
nodes to remain above ground. With
luck, roots will form within a couple of
weeks. The trick is to make sure the cutting is from a male pussy willow (males
change color and are often larger;
female branches remain dull and grey).

Hint
***
Forsythia:
As
spring arrives, so does
Forsythia. Arguably, the
Forsythia signals the arrival of spring
more than any other botanical cue.
Bursts of yellow blooms along country
roads and splashes of gold color in New
England yards bring a welcome change
to the dreary winter landscape. While
Forsythia is in bloom for only about two
weeks, its early presence is so appreciated that it remains a popular plant,
with its leafy shrub providing privacy
throughout the rest of the growing season.
***
Forsythia Folklore: Since it’s not
uncommon for snow to fly after the
Forsythia has bloomed, it’s not surprising the early spring plant has earned its
way into American garden folklore.
“Three snows after the Forsythia
blooms” was an oft-repeated phrase
by farmers of yore. The old weather
forecasting method reminds us that
although the blazing yellow Forsythia
may be in full bloom, the New England
winter may not yet be over.
***
Rooting Forsythia: Forsythia is
another plant that’s easy to propagate.
In fact, many gardeners report good
results by simply cutting a branch on
a slant and inserting the fresh cut end
into a few inches of prepared soil.
Another option is to place fresh cutting into water to root. Leave in a cool,
dark area until roots form. Once roots
grow, plant outside in well watered soil.
***
Lilacs: Fragrant clusters of lilacs
adorned colonial yards and gardens of
early America. Lilacs were grown both
for their beauty and their medicinal
properties. In fact, in the late 18th century, both Thomas Jefferson and George
Washington wrote about their lilac
Preparing for an estate sale
When you contact
an estate sale company or auction house,
you are typically experiencing some type of
important life transition. It may be the
loss of a loved one or
a move to a warmer
client. No matter the
situation, there is
ntiques
usually some level of
ollectibles stress involved when
you need the services
states of an estate sale company.
There are some
WAYNE TUISKULA
things that you should
consider prior to making a call. Do you have enough material
to warrant a sale? With many expenses and considerable labor costs, estate
sale companies typically set a minimum
threshold where they will accept sales. I
often see that they will accept sales they
estimate to be in the $6,000 to $10,000
range or more to make certain that the
estate sale company can pay all of their
expenses and still make a profit.
Once you find out that you are moving forward, one of the most important
pieces of advice that I can offer is not to
throw out items before the estate sale
company arrives. With the exception of
spoiled food and garbage, let the estate
sale company view items before they are
thrown away. I’ve seen old postcards,
sporting equipment and even antiques
get disposed of by well meaning family
members.
If you have family or friends who have
hired estate sale companies in the past,
check with them. Many clients interview 2 or 3 companies. Check references.
The longer the amount of time you
have before you need to leave the home,
the more successful your sale will be. A
4-week window or more is best to catalog
and promote a sale. It sometimes may be
done on shorter notice though.
If you have antiques and rare collections, it is very important that you locate
someone who specializes in this area.
Make sure you are hiring someone with
extensive experience with antiques.
Also, make sure that either that person
or someone with equal experience will
be identifying and pricing your items.
Here is a list of other questions to ask
an estate sale company.
• Do they provide a free consultation?
• How long has the company been in
business?
• Are they bonded?
• Do they list all fees that are assessed?
• Does the person pricing your items
have appraisal credentials and experience?
• What kind of marketing is used to
promote the sale?
• When do sellers need to remove items
that won’t be included in the sale?

Lilac Legends: Legend has it lilac
drives away evil wherever it is planted

were planted on the homestead by colonists in an effort to protect the inhabitants from bad forces.
Immigrants from Europe brought
tales of lilac folklore from the “old country” to America, including the belief
that finding a white lilac blossom with
five petals is a sign good fortune would
follow. Meanwhile, in certain sections
of England it was considered bad luck
to bring blooming Lilacs into the house
and all white Lilacs were especially
banned from display inside the home.

Growing Lilacs: New England is the
perfect climate to grow lilacs, as it is
very cold hardy, requiring a frost to
prompt bud blooming.
For optimum blooms, a lilac bush
should be planted in areas that receive
full sun (at least six hours per day).
Lilacs like a slightly alkaline soil. Spread
roots out vertically and cover with
topsoil. A newly

There are many steps that you can take to
ensure you’ll have a successful estate sale.
• Do they just try to sell better items at
the sale, auction better items themselves,
consign them to an auction house, sell
them online or do something else with
them?
• What happens to items that don’t
sell?
• How much staff will be at the sale?
• Is family invited to attend the sale?
• Is there an option for a clean out of
unsold items?
Other suggestions are to visit a sale
run by the estate sale company that you
are considering. Make sure that you sign
a contract with the company providing
the service.
An estate sale is one of a number of
ways to liquidate an estate. For higher
valued antiques, collections and rare
pieces the exposure of an auction is a
better option. We typically find that selling some items at auction while running
an estate sale with others maximizes our
clients’ results.

MINOR
reeling. I
staggered
forward
with stars in my eyes, unsure of what to do
next, and let my hand explore the back of
my head as I felt for the inevitable damage
of whatever just hit me. I knew, even at 5
years old, that my skull was not made of
impenetrable steel, so a part of me knew I
was hurt. As I felt the wetness slowly come
down my neck, I immediately knew I was
busted open, and the shiny redness of my
hand as I brought it back into my view
confirmed my fears.
She threw a rock at me! The nerve!
So I did what every 5-year-old kid would
do in response. I began to cry hysterically
and ran into my house and told my mom.
OK, so it’s a dramatic story of a rather
mundane event, but it’s one of the most
vivid memories I have my childhood neighbors. As children, my brother and I were
social creatures. My mother often makes
fun of me as she remembers my childhood,
giggling as she recalls a time I came upon
a playground and shouted at the top of my
lungs, “Hello, friends! I’m here!”
We played well with just about all our
neighbors. We were constantly shooting
hoops with one neighbor one day, and
playing with other neighbors the next.
Thinking about it now, we were close with
four of our immediate neighbors, two of
which remain close friends to this day.
But it was that experience with my
then-nemesis that I can picture clearest.
Her name was Rachael (we’ll call her
Rachael K.), and back then, we were actually pretty close. She moved away more than
20 years ago, so we have long since lost
touch. For some reason that day, she must
have been mad or something, because she
really let that rock fly, and it connected.
We were never really at odds though, so I
must have forgiven her quickly.
When she moved away, I never heard
from her again. She moved to the Carolinas
and last I heard, that was all. There would
be times where I would go 10 years without
thinking about my old neighbor or even
hearing her name.
Until last week.
As I stood in church, mingling with my
friends, I came upon a friend named John,
who will chuckle if he reads this. Anyway,
John asked me how I was settling into my
new home, which just so happens to be the
very home I grew up in, because he had
an interesting story I might like to hear.
His granddaughter — also named Rachael
(we’ll call her Rachael B. to avoid confusion) — while attending college recently
in South Carolina, took a class, and in
that class the discussion turned to each
student’s hometown. As Rachael B. said
northeastern Connecticut, the teacher
quizzically looked at her and inquired as to
which town. As Rachael B. said “Eastford,”
the teacher revealed that she too grew up
in Eastford, on my road.
Her name? Rachael K. — the very same
neighbor Rachel K. from my youth.
My neighbor that I had not seen in more
than 20 years turned out to be a random college professor for another friend
of mine, in a state hundreds of miles away.
Talk about a small world.
So if any of you are wondering about
whether or not I ever got revenge for the
whole rock thing … don’t worry, I did —
and the story isn’t for the faint of heart.
Soon after the rock incident, a few
months later maybe, I was on my way to
school on the bus with everyone else. I
hadn’t felt quite right that day, but I decided to go to school anyway and rough it out.
As the bus pulled up to the school, we stood
up and began to file out. Being the gentleman that I was, I waited as Rachael K. got
up and went first before me. She would
soon regret that decision, as whatever sickness I was feeling immediately revealed
itself, and the contents of my breakfast
splattered over the back of her head, all the
way to the bottom of her backpack. With
no time to prepare, and nowhere to run, I
hadn’t had a choice.
Naturally, she screamed as she panicked
and ran off the bus, crying as she ran into
the school. Needless to say, I was soon
home in bed and quite embarrassed.
To this day, I maintain my innocence.
It was not intentional — but I do have
to say, if one were to plan revenge for a
rock-throwing incident, what I threw (up)
would be a mighty fine rebuttal.
Your move, Rachael K.

Letters to the Editor
A place for the bike kids
To the Editor:
I have an opinion.
Sturbridge has a skate park. When
my grandson was between 8 to 10, I
would take him there. He loved it. He
was amazed at the older kids that could
do tricks on ramps. Some older boys
did go with bikes and that was fine.
Everyone got along.
Now my grandson is 16 and for the
past few years has gone into bikes. He
does go to the skate park, because he
enjoys doing bike stuff. Every time he
goes, the police kick him out, and they
are not very polite about it.
All the boys want to do is have fun
with their bikes. Can’t do that on roads
or parking lots, it’s too dangerous. Also,
these kids could be out robbing banks
or getting into trouble.
Maybe the town can think of a place
for the bike kids.
Lauren Wilguess
Fiskkdale
Sound Off!
Everyone is entitled to an opinion
SOUND OFF:
After reading [a recent] article, it
seems like opponents to the motocross
are being cast by the media as living in
some altered reality.
Well, let me introduce you to some
folks that are opposed to a motocross
close to their homes. We are nurses
who take care of your parents at an
extended care facility; we are teachers
who are educating your children; we
are engineers who hope to make the
world a better place; we are heavy
equipment operators who keep the
snow off the roads; we are laboratory
managers who can alleviate contamination concerns; we are purchasing
agents, doctors, PCA’s, retirees, choir
members, and more. We are mothers
and fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers. We are your neighbors! We all
live but a few miles apart and we make
up the communities of Charlton and
Sturbridge.
Last I heard, we can voice our opinions in this country and should not
be subjected to retributions or disdain because we think differently. We
respect the fact that some people think
motocross is the greatest thing since
sliced white bread and want another
motocross facility in Charlton. Please
respect the fact that we disagree.
This is more than just a NIMBY concern. Our major issues are noise pollution and reduced property values.
Both are well documented. Imagine if
your neighbor, decided to care for his
friend’s dog every weekend and the dog
went outside at 8 a.m. and barked until
8 p.m. Venture outside, open a window,
from spring until fall, you hear barking. Is that OK?
Or, what if another neighbor decides
to cut and sell firewood and runs his
chain saw from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m.
every weekend or if the kid next door
plays music you detest but loud enough
for you to hear 12 hours each weekend day. Be honest, how would you
feel? Shouldn’t everyone have a right to
the quiet enjoyment of their property?
Sunset City proposes four races/hour
from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every weekend
conditions permit plus practice runs
during the week.
Aside from noise pollution, why
should one’s property value be lowered
by another’s actions? How is this fair?
Do realize that once property values
are lowered in one part of town, it gets
reflected throughout the area regardless of where you live.
Lastly, since neither the zoning
change nor noise bylaw is even on the
Charlton town meeting agenda, it was
disturbing that the Telegram reported misinformation that Residents
Against Noise and Traffic (RANT)
members “…planned to mob the
town meeting…” Most of us probably
won’t attend. Please look at video of
the initial Planning Board meeting
(12/17/14) when the abutters and even
the Worcester Telegram reporter could
not get into the meeting as seats were
taken up by motocross supporters and
their children. We believe that all concerned parties should be heard and
would never infringe upon our neighbors’ rights to know and to express
their feelings. You are free to advocate
for your views. Please do not disparage
us for advocating ours.

April 24
was desigFinancial nated Tax
Freedom
Focus
Day
for
2015.
Tax
JEFF
Freedom
BURDICK
Day, calculated
by
the
Tax Foundation, is the day when
the nation as a whole has earned
enough money to pay off its total tax
bill for the year. So it may be a good
time to review your own situation
to determine if you can “free” yourself from some investment-related
taxes in the future.
Of course, Tax Freedom Day is
something of a fiction, in practical terms, because most people pay
their taxes throughout the year via
payroll deductions. Also, you may
not mind paying your share of taxes
because your tax dollars are used
in a variety of ways — such as
law enforcement, food safety, road
maintenance, public education and
so on — that, taken together, have
a big impact on the quality of life
in this country. Nonetheless, you
may well want to look for ways
to reduce those taxes associated
with your investments, leaving you
more money available to meet your
important goals, such as a comfortable retirement.
Fortunately, it isn’t really that
difficult to be a tax-conscious
investor, as some of the best retirement-savings vehicles have builtin tax advantages. For starters,
depending on your income level,
your contributions to a traditional
IRA may be tax-deductible, so the
more you put in (up to the maximum of $5,500, or $6,500 if you’re
50 or older), the lower your annual
taxable income. Plus, your earnings
grow on a tax-deferred basis.
If you meet certain income guidelines, you may be eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA. The contribution
limits for a Roth IRA are the same
as those for a traditional IRA, but
the tax treatment of your earnings
is different. In fact, your Roth IRA
earnings can grow tax free, provided you don’t take withdrawals
before 59 1/2 and you’ve had your
account at least five years (Roth
IRA contributions are not tax-deductible, however).
Even if you have an IRA, you can
probably also participate in your
employer-sponsored retirement
plan, such as a 401(k), a 403(b) or
a 457(b). You typically contribute
“pretax” dollars to these types of
retirement plans, so your contributions will lower your annual taxable
income. Plus, you’ll benefit from
tax-deferred earnings. And employer-sponsored plans have much higher contribution limits than an IRA;
in 2015, you can put in up to $18,000
to a 401(k) or similar plan, or $24,000
if you are 50 or older.
Beyond contributing as much as
you can afford to tax-advantaged
retirement plans, how else can you
take greater control of your investment-related taxes? One move is to
avoid frequent buying and selling
of investments held outside your
IRA and 401(k). If you sell investments that you’ve held for less than
one year, your profit will be taxed
as ordinary income, with a rate
as high as 39.6%. But if you hold
investments at least one year before
selling them, you’ll just pay the
long-term capital gains rate, which
is 15% for most taxpayers (20 percent for high earners). So, from a
tax standpoint, it pays to be a “buyand-hold” investor.
Taking full advantage of your
IRA and 401(k) and holding your
investments for the long term aren’t
the only tax-smart moves you can
make — but they can give you a
good start on making investing less
of a “taxing” experience.

Boating safely

lakes continue to increase in popularity, we encourage you to learn, understand and obey these laws to assure
everyone has a safe and enjoyable boating season. It is also important to use
some common sense to know what is
safe and what could be potentially dangerous when driving a boat.
The very first law of the water is have
and use Personal Floatation Devices
(PFD). The use of a PFD can significantly decrease the number of deaths
that occur each year as a result of
drowning. PFDs wear is mandatory for
children under 12 years of age, riders on
PWCs, anyone being towed in any way
through the water as well as canoeists
and kayakers between Sept. 15 and May
15.
Distracted driving should be your
next concern for operating a motor
vehicle whether it is on the road or on
the water. As the driver of a boat, you
are responsible for the safety of all your
passengers as well as any other boat
traffic you may encounter while on the
water.
Review and understand all state and
local boating laws and regulations.

Warriors win wild game over Oxford in walk-off fashion
BY NICK ETHIER
SPORTS STAFF WRITER
STURBRIDGE — In a
back-and-forth affair that
saw 25 hits accompany
21 runs, the Tantasqua
Regional varsity softball
team did just a little more
than Oxford High to win
a wild, 11-10 decision in
walk-off fashion on April
27.
The Warriors trailed,
10-6, entering the bottom
of the sixth inning, but
they scored four in the
frame and then one more
in the seventh to improve
to 3-1. The Pirates
dropped to 1-3.
“A win is a win is a
win, whatever it takes,”
Tantasqua head coach
Phil Desroches said of the
comeback effort. “These
kids work hard and
I think they got a little
down in a couple innings
and they responded.”
“We were up by three
runs to start the game
and they came back, then
we went up by four in
the [sixth] inning and
they came back and
tied it up,” Oxford head
coach Jamie Hetherman
recalled. “That’s a good
hitting team.”
But it was the Pirates
who built an early lead,
thanks to a three-run top
of the first that was highlighted by an RBI single
by Evelyn Marquis (3
for 3, 2 walks). Karlie
Parmenter and Marquis
also scored on wild pitches.
The
Warriors
answered with a fiverun second. Carly Casine
belted an RBI single and
Emily Blanchard — who
would be heard from

over Oxford.
again in the final frame
— hit a three-run homer.
The ball was hit to left
field and continued to
roll, allowing Blanchard
to trot home. Tantasqua
then made it 5-3 when
Hayley Worthington (3
for 4) scored on a wild
pitch.
But Oxford rallied
to regain the lead, now
at 8-5, in the top of the
fourth. Stephanie Nelson
(2 for 4) plated two with
a single, and Gabby
Cardenas reached on an
error to score Nelson.
Kayla Soto (2 for 4) then
smoked a 2 RBI double
into right field.
The Warriors got one
back in the bottom of
the fifth when a run was
scored on a wild pitch,
but the Pirates grabbed
a four-run, 10-6 advantage with two more in
the sixth. Cardenas and
Erika Fradsham had the
RBIs.
Tantasqua tied it up
when Worthington had
an RBI single, as did
Claudia Fleshman. Abby
Stansky (2 for 4) then
scored the two on a single.
Blanchard
then
pitched the top of the seventh in relief of Michaela
Salviuolo, leaving runners on second and third
base.
“I was going to make
that change anyways
with Emily [Blanchard]
coming in just to throw a
little changeup at them,”
Nick Ethier photos
Tantasqua’s Emily Blanchard receives a high-five after hitting
a three-run homer versus Oxford. Blanchard then won the
game with a walk-off RBI double as the Warriors persevered,
11-10.
Desroches said of the
pitching change.
Blanchard
then
exchanged her glove for a
bat, which helped win the
game. Kelsey Emrich led
off the frame by reaching base on an error, and
Casine followed with a
sacrifice bunt to move
Emrich over to second.
Blanchard then hit a double to left-center, plating
Emrich.
“She’s a good little hitter,” Desroches said of
Blanchard.
Oxford,
who
had
a three-hit effort by
Callie Andrews and saw
Marquis pitch a complete
game, hasn’t accumulated a strong record in the
early stages of the season,
but the reigning Central
Mass. Division 2 district
finalists still have a lot to
look forward to, according to Hetherman.
“We’re playing some
good teams early and we
just haven’t turned it on
yet,” he said. “We’re still
a step behind, but we’re
hanging with the good
teams.”

Shaky start slows Warriors’ baseball team in loss to Drury
STURBRIDGE — Shaky, inefficient
defense was the primary reason for
Tantasqua Regional’s loss to Drury
High in varsity baseball action on
April 21. The North Adams school
took advantage of several Warriors’
miscues to stake themselves to a 9-0
lead before winning the game, 13-11.
It was 9-0 after two-and-a-half
innings before Tantasqua made it 9-1
in the bottom of the third following a
Sam Knox RBI double. The Warriors
then made it 9-5 in the home half of the
fourth when Isaac Gonzales cleared
the bases — which were loaded —
with a triple and Jordan Choquette
followed with an RBI groundout.
But Drury effectively put the game
away with a four-run fifth frame to
add to their lead, 13-5, before winning by two runs thanks to one last
Tantasqua rally.
The Warriors’ record slipped to 0-4
following the loss.

ball hit his way.

Despite having huge dreams,
Doug Danger never imagined
that it would all end up this
big. Nearly 1.5 million people
will be at Sturgis watching
him attempt to break a world
record. It may be on live television or pay-per-view. When
he was a kid he never believed
he would be on television. But
he believed in his dreams. He
had a dream to jump 40 cars to
break the world record motorcycle jump. The record at the
time was 19 cars.
“I always dreamed really
big,” he said with a laugh.
In 1991 he jumped over 42
cars. And he lear ned that
sometimes he doesn’t dream
big enough. He accomplishes
things that he never thought
were imaginable.

stuck the throttle wide open.

again. He didn’t know how to
walk, talk, write or read. And
of course, had to learn to bike
again. It was over a year and
a half before he could get on a
motorcycle again.
In 2011 he had the opportunity to do a tour in Australia. He
saw the Great Barrier Reef. He
visited beautiful beaches. Doug
noticed halfway through the
tour that he was overly tired.
When he got home the news
wasn’t good. It was a tumor. He
had stage four cancer. He was
told he had three to six months
to live.
Said Doug, “You prepare
yourself for a lot of things in
life. You can prepare to get
married, to have children. You
can prepare for retirement.
One thing you can never prepare for is somebody telling
you that you have three to six
months left to live.”
He was told most people
have a zero percent chance of
making it. It was January. He
wouldn’t see summer. The doctor said that only 5 percent of
people who have what Doug
had make it through.
“I said, ‘Wait, you’re telling
me I actually have a chance?’
That means five out of 100 people make it. Why can’t I be one
of those five people? I’m Doug
Danger! I can do anything!”
Doug said. And after three
hard years of chemotherapy,
he did it. “I’m 100 percent cancer free today. I’m the luckiest
guy in the world in my eyes.”
After the shock of never
thinking he’d be able to jump
again, Doug said that nobody
has any idea how much this

before – the 42-car jump in
1991 and when he jumped over
a jumbo jet – but this one is
special to him. Many people
think Doug Danger may have a
death wish. And they’re right.
“I wish to die at 100 years old,
laying in bed with my beautiful
wife and grabbing a nice, icecold beer, closing my eyes and
never waking up,” he says —

isn’t his death wish.

“I’m just thrilled that she’s on the

Staff Writer Olivia Richman recently
caught up with the Sturbridge native to
get her thoughts on making it big in a
field many don’t think of when it comes
to art.
When did you start getting into
art?
“I’ve been doing art since I was young.
My mom probably has some of my art
projects hanging around the house still.
I decided I wanted to go to college for
art. I originally started in fine arts but
felt it wouldn’t make any money unless
I cut my ear off or died. I switched to
graphic design and received my twoyear degree.”
When did

After graduating from Tantasqua Regional
High School, Sammie went to Florida to pursue her art career. Her body paint has been
featured in model’s portfolios, in independent films and has placed in national body
painting competitions.
Sammie and her husband will be coming out with a song, “Beautiful,” in May. They now live
in Utah with their children.
face
“I don’t do much of it anymore. I
mainly do it for myself and my business.
Currently I’m a self employed face and
body artist. I started off face painting
back around 2010. I was doing it for
birthdays and events. I went to my first
convention down in South Florida. I
decided to compete in a face painting
competition and came back with two
awards — second place in the semi-pro
category and 2011 Upcoming Artist. Also
when I was down there I got introduced
to body art. I decided to give body art a
try when I got back home.”
What kind of work do you do in
this business?
“I get hired a lot for children’s
birthday parties and corporate events. I
have a few other artists I hire for larger
events. When it comes to body painting
I get photographers hiring me for photo
shoots and models for their portfolios.
I was featured in the Sundance Film
Festival and on television.”
What do you like about body
painting?
“I love the idea of face painting but
I love creating body art. I’m able to
really put out a great artistic effort
and create unique pieces. I have so

How was being on “Skin Wars”?

body paint designs, including Edward
Scissorhands and Candy Land.
many favorite ones for many different
reasons. Some of my favorites are my
Edward Scissorhands that I created. I
have also created a Candy Land-themed
body art I love.”
How did you end up on “Skin
Wars”?
“The producers approached me to be
a contestant. It just started snowballing.
It was a huge honor. I was kind of
surprised. I stay humble with my art.
There’s always someone better than
I am out there. But it was a pretty
big shock when they approached me! I
thought that was really cool.”
“It was fun. I feel that I gained
an increase in speed in my artistic
capability. It was a really unique
experience to be with so many amazing
artists. The one thing I do have is a
very extensive fan base. It’s exciting
and cool to receive the encouragement
from people there in Massachusetts and
the people here and people across the
world.”
How do you feel that your friends
and family will be able to watch you
on TV?
“Most of my family is all back east.
My mom and dad are still there and my
sister and my cousins. I think it’s just so
cool that I am so supported and so loved
by my family through this whole thing.
I can’t wait for them to see it and share
my art with the world.”
What was the best part of being on
“Skin Wars”?
“It was a lot of fun meeting people
in the field. It was a neat experience to
see people that you normally only see
on TV. They really do exist! RuPaul is
larger than life.”
What’s next for you in this field?
“I am just riding the wave and seeing
where life takes me with this unique
situation that I have. I am releasing a
music single with my husband. I sing.
He’s a music producer. He’s produced
for Korn. The song is called “Beautiful.”
It will be released on May 9.”

A day for the planet: Charlton celebrates Earth Day
CHARLTON — Charlton celebrated Earth Day on Saturday,
April 25. The day started off with a town-wide cleanup.
Residents were asked to “adopt” a street and take about an
hour or two to pick up any litter and trash on their adopted
stretch of street. Following the cleanup was the town’s Earth
Day Festival, put together by the Earth Day Committee. Held
on the Town Common, Earth Fest included live music, earth
friendly information booths and vendors — including Page
Chiropractic, Army Corps of Engineers and the Charlton
Garden Club — a recycled art show open to all ages and a pet
contest. The Pet Show was a big draw for residents. Children
registered their pets in one category, including Happiest,
Biggest, Cuddliest and Friendliest. There were also horses
present on the Town Common for people to pet.

moving and grooving to all the popular hits of Disney, Taylor Swift, Katy
Perry and the Village People. The DJ’s
from Karaoke for Kidz of Dudley shared
the microphones with throngs of preschoolers who were belting out the chorus from “Let it Go” from the popular
Disney Frozen movie. Special dances
for dads and daughters followed by a
turn for moms and sons were captured
on countless video cameras amid a few
teary grandparents. A dance instructor
from Sally McDermott Dance Studio in
Auburn, Ms. Nadine Zona, was on hand
to teach the children some Uptown
Funk-y moves to add to their energetic
hip hop! There were refreshments, door
prizes, raffles, a photo op area with lots
of zany props, and favors for everyone.
Jack and Jill Preschool is a licensed,
accredited preschool on 693 Main Street,
in the First Baptist Church of North
Oxford, with nine different classes for
children aged 3, 4 and 5 years old. Under
the direction of Mrs. Carla Morano of
Auburn, the staff is degreed, certified,
and experienced. Call 508-987-3085 for
a free tour today if you are looking for
a quality, reputable, early childhood
center that sure knows how to have fun!

STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
Ingredients:
Four butterflied boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Two pounds assorted mushrooms, finely chopped.
About one dozen fresh basil leaves, or 1 Tablespoon dried basil.
2 Teaspoons garlic powder
1-2 Teaspoons fresh ground pepper (depending upon personal taste)
1 – 1½ lbs. smoked Gouda cheese, sliced thin or roughly grated
1 Tablespoon butter
1/8 cup white wine or good stock
Preparation
Melt butter in pan and sauté mushrooms until they give up all moisture and
take on a gentle brown color and nutty fragrance.
Pound chicken until thin, but not so thin that they will tear.
Season with ½ of the garlic powder and ½ of the pepper.
Layer cheese, basil and mushrooms over chicken.
Roll the chicken beginning at the small end. Push any stuffing back in and
secure with toothpicks or kitchen string.
Put in shallow baking dish, pour wine over chicken, and season again with
the remaining garlic powder and pepper.
Don’t cover. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Allow the chicken to set-up
before removing the string or toothpicks.
This makes a nice sauce.

Many buyers today think buying a foreclosure means big
savings and this can be true but buyers also need to be
aware of potential pitfalls. A foreclosure takes place when
a homeowner or property owner cannot pay the mortgage
fees on the property and is forced to give up the property
to the bank.
First, potential buyers should know there are different
stages of foreclosure.
Pre-Foreclosure stage is the earliest stage of foreclosure.

legal action if the debt is not taken care of. At this point,
the property owner has the opportunity to pay off the outstanding debt or sell the property before it is foreclosed.
In this stage, many homeowners may opt for what is
called a short sale. Many of these homes will sell for
near their appraised values. Banks may be willing to
negotiate on these properties but the process can be
lengthy. Properties that sell at a 20 to 40 percent discount
usually need repair or are in unstable communities.
