LEICESTER – A popular intergenera-tional program in town is helping students hone their French conversation skills with the assistance of local seniors.

Returning for the second year, the Parlez-vous Francais program brings Leicester Middle School students to the Senior Center on a monthly basis. Seventh and eighth graders in Aaron Covert’s French class-es are able to work with French-speaking seniors and staff to practice their conver-sation skills.

“It is great to see how much the kids are progressing. Every time they come in, they are fascinated by what they’re learning,” said Genevieve Grenier, a Senior Center staff member who is helping to lead the program.

With her father hailing from Quebec and her mother from France, the French lan-

guage and culture have been a major part of Grenier’s life. She enjoys the opportunity to give back by helping students advance their conversational skills each month.

Meanwhile, Leicester Senior Center Director Rachelle Cloutier, whose family is also French-speaking, has been thrilled to see the program’s development. Some of the seniors who take part in the program don’t regularly get to use their French skills at home, and the sessions with the students have brought back many memories.

“We always love to do intergenerational programs here,” Cloutier told Stonebridge Press during a visit last week.

Each month, after the students make the short walk from the middle school to the Senior Center, Covert and senior volun-teers help them with a variety of activities. It means a lot to school leaders to provide Kevin Flanders Photo

LEICESTER – Thanks to recently received grant fund-ing, Leicester Middle School will continue to serve as a local leader in STEM programming.

The district announced last month that Leicester Middle School has received a grant to fund a new curricular program from Project Lead the Way (PLTW), which will better pre-pare students for career suc-cess. PLTW is a nonprofit orga-nization that provides transfor-mative learning experiences for students in the areas of computer science, engineering and biomedical science.

LMS is one of more than 11,500 schools across the coun-try offering PLTW programs to millions of students.

The grant will enable the LMS staff to expand its current PLTW courses. The school will now offer courses in Computer Science for Innovators and Makers, as well as App Creating, Design and Modeling, Automation and Robotics, and Flight and Space.

Staff members are thrilled about the expanded opportu-nities for students made possi-ble by the grant. With the new round of funding, one hundred percent of students will benefit from PLTW coursework.

“Leicester Middle School is very excited to be launching a new pathway in STEM edu-cation,” said LMS Assistant Principal Christopher Fontaine. “According to sur-veys produced by Mass STEM

Hub and Project Lead the Way, our students said that they were more highly engaged in our STEM program than other schools.”

Leicester Middle School is one of only 58 schools across the Commonwealth to receive grant funding for PLTW, which is supported by the administra-tion of Governor Charlie Baker and Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito. LMS is also one of only two schools statewide to offer PLTW cours-es to all students.

For state leaders, it remains a priority to support programs that ensure Massachusetts stu-dents will be competitive for emerging jobs over the next decade.

“Engaging our students throughout their K-12 school years with hands-on lessons in science, engineering, computer science, technology and math will prepare them for success after high school and strength-en the Massachusetts work-force,” said Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito, who co-chairs the STEM Advisory Council.

Leicester Middle School will use grant funds to augment its existing PLTW program. The grant will also support teacher professional development and the purchase of materials and equipment that will be used in the hands-on, problem-based courses.

NORTH BROOKFIELD – In celebration of a superheroes theme for this year’s Camp Read-a-Lot, elementary school students got a special visit from some real-life heroes.

Local police officers, fire-fighters, and paramedics

stopped by the school on Feb. 15 to read to students as part of the fifth annual event. Held on the Friday before school vacation week starts, the pro-gram always offers several fun activities for students to enjoy. The goal is to transform a typ-ically unproductive day into a unique, engaging day of learn-

ing heading into the break.“We thought it would be an

awesome idea to bring in some superheroes from our commu-nity,” said NBES reading spe-cialist Robin Pratt, who helps organize the event.

EAST BROOKFIELD — Thanks to a part-nership between a local animal shelter and the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, area dogs continue to receive the training they need prior to entering forever homes.

Six-month-old Gracie is the latest puppy to be welcomed into the Project Good Dog program, which enables inmates at the Worcester County Jail to train and care

for dogs. Since 2015, the animals have been entrusted to the inmates by Second Chance Animal Shelter (SCAS), as many of the pups require extra attention or training. And within just a few months – after receiving plenty of love and training – the dogs are ready to be adopted.

Inmates and staff members alike are encouraged by Gracie’s progress in only a

EAST BROOKFIELD – At the intersection where history and gaming meet, a local club continues to enjoy success and attract new members.

The Mass Pikemen Gaming Club has drawn interest from residents of several area towns. The club’s next tabletop gam-ing session, set for March 2 at 2 p.m., will bring club members

back into the battle. The focus for the day will be a World War II military offensive from the British 8th Army against the German and Italian forces of the Panzer Army Africa, with each side seeking to control vital North African territories in the desert.

Club members will have the opportunity to command an individual tank and see how

they stack up against their peers. One of the most enjoyable aspects of the club for mem-bers is that no previous experience is necessary. Residents can join and step right into the battle.

“One of our club mem-bers never played table-top war games, but now loves our games,” said club organizer Mark Morin. “There can be a lot of history learned when we play historical games like WWII games, but it’s all designed to be fun and stimulating.”

While club members always enjoy historical-ly based gaming battles, they also take on futur-istic challenges with sci-fi battles. Creativity is

always on display when they build the sets for each game, and members’ individual artis-tic talents are brought to the forefront.

“When we have a sci-fi game, it’s equally interesting. Plus, the artistic aspects of putting together terrain and the fig-ures allows us the opportunity to express ourselves,” Morin added.

The club is always seeking new members. If you have an interest in getting involved, you’re invited to stop in and see the action. Members said the club is a great way to learn about history in a fun, creative way while meeting new friends.

The club meets at the East Brookfield Senior Center (110 Pleasant St.).

“What I would really like is for those even remotely inter-ested to come check us out and even try to play. We have a lot of fun and meet new people,” said Morin, who also keeps a blog to display information and photos showcasing the club.

If you would like to learn more about the club, send an email to Morin at [email protected].

NORTH BROOKFIELD – Highlighting a year of enhanced programming throughout the school district, officials are excited to host the first annual STEAM-athon this month.

Set for Thursday, March 28, the event will take place from 6-8 p.m. at North Brookfield Elementary School. With a theme of “Careers in STEAM,” the program will showcase the many paths students can choose in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathe-matics.

The event will include a demonstration by the high school’s robotics team, as well as multiple workshops on STEAM careers. Guests will have an opportunity to learn about coding, robots, and other

technologies sweeping through today’s schools. With the majority of new jobs over the next decade expected to focus on STEAM-related subjects, school districts nationwide are in a race to roll out innova-tions.

In North Brookfield, major strides were taken this year – and the district continues to gain steam in its quest to intro-duce additional STEAM pro-grams at all grade levels.

In 2018-19, school officials implemented a STEAM pro-gram at the elementary school and enhanced the program at the junior-senior high school by hiring a full-time teacher. Additionally, a MakerSpace unit was built at the elemen-tary school to augment K-6 STEAM programming.

“STEAM is truly the next

generation of careers for our students. It is important that we not only engage students in the content of STEAM, but also the critical and creative thinking skills needed to solve real-world problems,” said Jeanne Powers, the district’s curriculum director. “We need to prepare our students for a world where anything is possi-ble, as technology continues to improve rapidly.”

In conversations with multi-ple teachers throughout the dis-trict this past fall, Powers saw strong interest in a STEAM-themed program. To prepare for the event, she attended the Mass. STEM Summit in Worcester and participated in a workshop hosted by teach-ers in Framingham who have organized similar events in their districts.

“The STEAM-athon event is

a way to engage students and their families in the celebra-tion of the STEAM program at NBPS,” Powers added. “We will highlight various career paths throughout the evening.”

The STEAM-athon is a free event, and all students and families in the district are wel-come to attend.

Between 5 and 6 p.m., guests are encouraged to arrive early and watch a demo of nitro-gen-produced low-fat ice cream made by Subzero Nitrogen Ice Cream. Guests can even try a sample for themselves. This program is being sponsored by the North Brookfield PTO.

The STEAM-athon will kick off at 6 p.m. with a welcome program in the auditorium. From there, students and their parents/guardians will head to two different STEAM

workshops (they will have five total workshops from which to choose).

The event will conclude in the cafeteria, where guests will have a chance to see robots and other technologies in action. There will also be several door prizes at the event, includ-ing STEAM kits, books, and T-shirts.

School officials thank all vol-unteers and sponsors who have offered their time to assist the first-year event. The district reached out to several area businesses for sponsorship opportunities.

“I am very excited about the event and appreciative of the volunteers who will help make this night possible,” Powers said.

LEICESTER – The community is mourning the loss of retired police offi-cer, Peter Martinson, who passed away last month.

Martinson served as a permanent intermittent police officer for the Leicester Police Department for 12 years, from 1967 until 1979. Prior to his time on the force, he was a member of the Leicester Fire Department for six years (1961-1967). He also served on the town’s 250th Anniversary Committee.

“As an officer, Peter was a go-to type of guy in the department,” Interim LPD Chief Kenneth Antanavica wrote in a statement. “When Peter’s career at the police department was ending, I was just starting as a dispatcher. Many of the officers would go to Peter to proof their court reports. One officer that worked with Peter told me that Peter knew all of the big ‘50-cent’ words to use in reports, and that Peter enjoyed testi-fying to his well-written reports.”

Throughout the past few weeks, residents and former colleagues have

shared stories of Martinson’s dedica-tion and service to the town. His photo is displayed at police headquarters on the “wall of fame,” along with several other past officers.

In memory of Martinson’s service to both the police and fire communities, both departments flew their respective flags at half-mast on Feb. 24 from sun-rise to sunset.

“Thank you, Peter Martinson, for your service to the Town of Leicester. We will never forget you,” Antanavica wrote.

AUBURN – Athletes from throughout the state will once again converge on Auburn, as the annual Special Olympics program will take place this month.

Add to Timely Calendar Add to Google Add to Outlook Add to Apple Calendar Add to other calendar Export to XML The two-day event is set for March

9 & 10, featuring basketball contests at the high school and bowling at AMF Auburn. The basketball tournament is always well-attended, with dozens of teams showing off their skills in front of a packed crowd in the gymnasium.

Basketball teams feature participants with a range of experience levels, from beginners to athletes who have been playing for many years. Several divi-sions are represented at the event, and volunteer coaches and referees always dedicate their time to make the pro-gram memorable.

For town officials, it means a lot to host an annual event celebrating inclusion, teamwork, and communi-ty service. Many of the athletes have

never enjoyed the experience of playing in front of a big crowd, and they are thrilled to see their family members and friends in attendance.

Residents are once again invited to drop by the school to help pack the house. Town and state officials will also attend, including local state represen-tatives.

“The town is honored to host the Special Olympics again this year,” said Town Manager Julie Jacobson. “This is a very special event that brings many individuals and groups in our commu-nity together to prepare for and host the games. We are thrilled to welcome the athletes, coaches and families to Auburn, and we encourage people to come out and watch these exciting games.”

Guests attending the basketball tour-nament can also enjoy a craft fair hap-pening on both days at the high school. Vendors set up tables on both floors, and volunteers provide free lunches to athletes, coaches, and crafters.

Meanwhile, a Special Olympics bowl-ing event will be held at AMF Auburn. Teams and guests are asked to park in the lot by Polar Beverages and take the shuttle to this venue. AMF Auburn is located at 101 Southbridge St.; Polar

Beverages is located at 26 Southbridge St.

A floor hockey tournament will also be offered as part of the two-day Special Olympics celebration in Auburn.

To learn more about events, loca-tions, schedules, directions, parking, shuttles, and meals, please visit www.SpecialOlympicsMA.org. A complete event guide for all three tournaments is available on the Web site.

Event organizers thank the many town officials, students, and seniors who volunteer for the event each year. From coaching teams to preparing meals, volunteers continue to serve as the backbone of the program. Countless hours go into organizing the venue, scheduling games, arranging the craft fair, and readying the building for school the next day.

Statewide, Special Olympics Massachusetts saw 3,682 athletes enroll in sports programs this winter alone. More than 1,000 volunteers and 350 coaches got involved to help make par-ticipants’ dreams come true.

Last year, more than 12,500 athletes got involved in Special Olympics pro-grams throughout the state.

a poetry station, team building games, a sing-along session, and of course group reading activi-ties led by school officials and community visitors. Students were excited to ask the guests about their jobs, and the event served as a great prelude to Read Across America Month in March.

Members of the North Brookfield PTO started the day

by making pancakes for the stu-dents, who also enjoyed crafts and bingo. Jeanne Powers, the school district’s curriculum director, spent many hours cre-ating 27 different bingo boards for students to enjoy. Each board included the titles of books stu-dents have read during their journey at NBES.

“We love to see the excitement when the kids take part in dif-ferent activities,” Powers told Stonebridge Press. “We have great community involvement in the schools.”

In total, students rotated through nine stations and par-ticipated in several activities. The kids even got to take the fun outdoors and try their luck at snowshoeing across the school-grounds.

The school staff thanks all vol-unteers who ran stations and led community reading exercis-es. Students will continue the reading celebration this month with plenty of literacy themed activities.

REGION — Supporters of Optometry Giving Sight got their cre-

ative juices flowing for the 2018 World Sight Day Challenge to raise

WEBSTER — Indian Ranch announced that it will open its 2019 Summer Concert Series with Lee Brice on June 15. George Thorogood and the Destroyers will bring their Good To Be Bad Tour to Indian Ranch on July 21. Tickets for both shows go on sale Friday, February 22nd at 10:00 AM; the Insiders Club Presale will take place Thursday, Feb. 21 at 10 a.m. at www.indianranch.com.

Award-winning songwriter,

producer, headlining touring act, and acclaimed male vocal-ist Lee Brice comes to Indian Ranch on June 15th. Lee is a GRAMMY nominee, a CMA nominee and a double ACM award winner, and he’s taken five radio singles to #1: “A Woman Like You,” “Hard To Love,” “I Drive Your Truck,” “I Don’t Dance,” and “Drinking Class.” Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney and others have recorded his songs and he’s performed on TV shows including NBC’s Today, ABC’s The Bachelor, NBC’s The Voice and FOX’s

Miss USA 2018. With more than 12 million in RIAA certified sales, Lee has achieved Gold and Platinum on every album and single released, with “A Woman Like You” reaching Double Platinum status. Lee’s latest single “Rumor” is out now and follows “Boy,” the debut song from his fourth stu-dio album, Lee Brice. When Lee Brice isn’t selling out are-nas, writing and recording songs, or building a new brand like American Born whiskey — you’ll find him with his wife Sara, two young boys Takoda (10) and Ryker (4), and new daughter Trulee Nanette.

Since 1975, George

Thorogood & The Destroyers have sold more than 15 mil-lion albums, played more than 8,000 ferocious live shows, and built a catalog of classic hits that includes “Who Do You Love,” “I Drink Alone,” “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” “Move It On Over,” and “Bad To The Bone.” Now “one of the most iconic bands in rock & roll history” (Rapid

City Journal) celebrates it all with their Good To Be Bad Tour: 45 Years of Rock. The group is beginning their fifth consecutive year of supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) by donating $1 from each ticket sold on this tour to LLS. They also continue donating 100 percent of the net proceeds from the sale of their LLS branded Destroyers shirt to the organization.

Indian Ranch offers music

lovers a chance to see some of the greatest country, classic rock and pop bands steps from Lake Chaubunagungamaug. Nestled between pine trees, the amphitheater offers the abil-ity to see the stage from any-where in the audience. More than a concert venue, Indian Ranch recently opened Samuel Slater’s Restaurant and is also home to the Indian Princess paddle wheeler and Indian Ranch Campground. Already on sale are Melissa Etheridge June 29, Get The Led Out on July 27, Josh Turner on Aug. 4, Dwight Yoakam on Aug. 18, The Marshall Tucker Band on Aug. 25, and The Charlie Daniels Band on Sept. 15. More shows will be announced soon.

In addition, Insiders Club

memberships and GA Season Passes for the 2019 Yuengling Summer Concert Series are on sale now. The Indian Ranch Insiders Club gives members exclusive access to buy tick-ets before they go on sale to the general public. GA Season Passes include a general admis-sion ticket to every show in the Indian Ranch Summer Concert Series. Both programs come with an array of other benefits and are available at www.indi-anranch.com.

Tickets for Lee Brice at

Indian Ranch on Saturday, June 15, and George Thorogood and the Destroyers, July 21 go on sale Friday, Feb. 22 at 10 a.m. The Indian Ranch Insider Club Presale takes place Thursday, Feb. 21 at 10 a.m. Gates for Indian Ranch con-

certs open at noon, showtime is 1 p.m. for daytime shows unless otherwise noted. Tickets are available online at www.indianranch.com, by calling 1-800-514-ETIX (3849) or at the Indian Ranch Box Office.

students with an opportunity to learn beyond the classroom and engage with French speakers.

“It’s important for the students to be able to interact and use what they’re learning in class,” Covert said.

Looking ahead, both Cloutier and Grenier recommend that students travel to French-speaking locations to improve their skills.

“The best way to learn is when you’re totally immersed in the language,” Grenier said. “In France, they study English from the time they’re six years old.”

It’s also helpful for students to travel to different regions and countries to learn the variations of the French lan-guage, Senior Center officials said.

“You can go to Quebec, Ontario, or New Brunswick, and you will hear dif-ferent variations in each place,” said Cloutier, who grew up in Edmundston, New Brunswick.

The Senior Center staff hopes to see the French conversation program return for many years to come. Leicester Public Schools Superintendent Marilyn Tencza, who is also a former French teacher, recently visited the Senior Center to see the program in action.

As the school year winds down, Cloutier and her team are also looking forward to a few other intergenera-tional programs, including the annual “Senior Prom” that unites seniors and students in the spring.

Ice fishing this past week was good for many anglers, and ice conditions were also good with more ice being made this week. Wallum Lake was a bit slow, but some anglers did manage to catch a few trout from the sometimes slow ice fishing at the lake. The absence of brood stock salmon at Wallum has sent anglers in search of big bass at other fishing locations. Pike fishing anglers have also landed some impressive fish in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. (Note) All fishing at Wallum Lake in Douglas is an interstate body of water and closes to all fishing this Thursday Feb. 28. It will reopen on April 13.

The New England Saltwater Fishing Show will be held on March 22- 24 this year at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence. It is the largest saltwater fishing show in the Northeast and draws hundreds of saltwater anglers to the show annually to browse over the latest in saltwater fishing gear, or to book a fishing trip from one of Rhode Island charter captains for the 2019 fishing season that have a booth at the show. Numerous seminars are held at the show annually by profession-al charter boat captains, and they pro-

vide some of the best fishing information any angler can get.

Up to date information on this year’s saltwater fishing season and dates in Rhode Island, are always import-ant to anglers especially striper fishing anglers. Daily limits and fishing season dates on fluke and seabass

are expected to stay the same as of this past week, but that also could change according to reports by charter boat captains at this past week’s sportsmen’s show. Recreational seasons and bag lim-its should be available at the show in late March. Haddock limits should remain the same in Mass. this year, with the season starting on April 15, 2019 unless last minute changes are made. The closed season for cod on the Gulf of Maine needs some serious input by anglers and Marine Fisheries. Reports of charter boat anglers catching many cod on every fishing trip that they go on should be a positive sign that the cod stocks are rebounding. Hopefully, there can be a one or two fish limit for charter boat anglers soon. This week’s picture of two whale cod taken onboard a charter boat in Salisbury only eight years or so ago, is something from the past. I doubt we will ever see that again in our generation.

“Fishing violations have been updat-

ed & fines and penalties for saltwa-ter fishing have been increased. On the criminal side many of the old fish-ing laws were so outdated It seemed laughable and needed be changed,” the report stated. For example, the crim-inal fines for poaching river herring (last amended about a century ago) was just $5 to $ 50. Many sections of the law written over the last century had anti-quated fines, and this needed to be changed and stiffened. “Now nearly all criminal violations will result in a consistent $400 to $10,000 fine, and up to two and a half years in jail,” the report stated.

Non Criminal tickets have been dou-bled, which now carry a fine of $100, $200 & $400. Environmental police offi-cers can use discretion when writing a criminal or non-criminal citation for marine fisheries violations. The new laws already took effect on Nov. 7, 2018.

Commercial Striper and blue-fish quotas were not met in 2018 in Massachusetts. Commercial Bass anglers are held to a higher size limit than recreational fishing anglers. Recreational size is 28 inches, while commercial anglers stripers need to measure 34 inches plus. Only 753,000 pounds of stripers were caught leav-ing 11 percent uncaught by commercial fishermen. Catch and release of strip-ers need some serious thought to insure there survival, as mentioned in last

weeks column. Only 40 percent of the 486.539-pound quota for bluefish was met. Commercial quota shortfalls were seen in all states through-out the range suggesting a stock-wide down turn on blue fish also.

There have been many antique related new stories since my last update, including television and newspaper sto-ries on the Durgin Park restau-rant auction that we recently held.

Fox News reported that a col-lection of Indian motorcycles was recently unearthed in a Phoenix, Az. scrapyard. Only a couple of people were said to

have known about the collection before they were found in RJ&C Metal Fabricators after its owner Rickey Jensen passed away. The Springfield, Mass. manufactured Indian motorcycles, bicycles, clocks and advertising items generated strong bidding. A rare 1908 Single Camelback sold for $82,500. A 1929 Ace Four brought $88,000 and a red and white 1941 Four reached $71,500. The collection brought in half a million dollars.

An Army veteran from Bakersfield, Calif. lost his uniform three years ago. He believes that it may have been stolen when his family moved. Xenos Lopez served in the Army from 2004 to 2010 accord-ing to a CNN report. While shopping in a local antique store with his wife, he found his uniform being offered for sale. The couple approached the antique shop owner and showed him pictures of Lopez wearing the uniform. They planned to buy the uniform back but the shop owner told Lopez, “It’s yours, you earned it. Take it!”

An Edmonton, Alberta antique deal-er will have plenty of stock to sell for some time. The Edmonton Journal reported that the Canadian dealer grew up watching movies like “Indiana Jones” and enjoys adventure. When he was offered the opportunity to search through a dilapidat-ed 100-year old farm-house, he jumped at the opportunity. The family informed him that the house was a

“a bit of a mess.” He found that it was a hoarding situation, but enjoyed searching through the clutter and making good finds. He liked it so much that he offered to buy the house from the family, and they accepted his offer. He said that he’s found 40 pieces of artwork that were insured for between $5,000 and $10,000 each. Other items, he’s uncovered include soapstone carvings, model toys, and a number of antique pictures and books. A majority of the items are being donated or thrown away, but the dealer is finding enough treasures to make it worth handling all of

the trash.The San Francisco Chronicle

reported that items from a Berkeley, California restau-rant commanded strong pric-es recently. An eight-foot-tall, blue Meiji-period cloison-né vase was the centerpiece at Spenger’s restaurant in Berkeley. The vase was shipped from Japan to the United States and exhibited at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. Frank Spenger Sr. then purchased it for his wife and, because of its large size, it was relocated to their restaurant. The vase was recently appraised at $30,000 to $50,000 but sold for $135,000 to a private buyer in New York. A 34.28 carat light yellow mine-cut diamond and platinum ring was also part of the Spenger estate. The ring was believed to have been first purchased by King Kalakaua of Hawaii in 1887 after he obtained a bank loan. The king died soon after and the bank retained the ring. It was sold to a Texas buyer until Spenger eventually pur-chased it. It recently brought $530,000 at auction.

In more local restaurant auction news, the 1879 folk art pig sold well, but wasn’t the top selling item in our Durgin

Park auction. The pig went for $4,100, but was surpassed by a group of Durgin Park matches which brought $4,400. The win-ning bidder plans to offer them to people who attend tours that he runs. Maybe the matches will help him strike up some new business.

Our next live auction antique auction will be held on Feb. 28 in Worcester. I’ll be appraising items for the Quaboag Historical Society and East Brookfield Historical Commission on March 3rd at the East Brookfield Elementary School from noon to 3:00. I’ll be at the Bay Path Evening Adult Education in Charlton on March 12th to teach my “Evaluating Your Antiques” class. I’ll also be doing an appraisal at the Worcester Senior Center on March 20. Please see www.centralmas-sauctions.com for details on these events.

Letters to the editor

To the Editor:While I am normally focused on the

Fascist at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, I want to turn our attention to our neighborhood Fascists – law enforce-ment. It is no secret that law enforce-ment officers have supported Trump vociferously. I have been unable to find concrete statistics, but cops tend to be pretty conservative when it comes to politics and several of their unions and the Fraternal Order of Police support him. Not shocking, con-sidering that Trump wants to “crack down” on various undesirable people, decrease oversight of police, and he provides the cops with affirmation of their perceptions on themselves. Under Trump, cops are venerated and granted cultural deference and policy independence. Trump defines public safety in America as the happiness of America’s cops.

While in the past few years, much has been said about police brutality and killings of minorities, I would like to point out a less impactful but extremely common form of police harassment and citizen abuse that is quite common.

Across America, we have set up a bizarre set of circumstances with regards to motor vehicles where they are our primary form of transpor-tation. There are a myriad of laws set up so that no person can go from point A to point B without breaking some minor rule, and then we have the “rolling papers please,” Gestapo, a.k.a. traffic cops. Since every vehicle breaks some regulation at some time, it allows for selective enforcement where the police officer can observe traffic and decide who he wants to pull over. This is not unlike “stop and frisk,” and this is a “papers please” rolling checkpoint.

The rolling “papers please” quite honestly only minimally affects me, as I’m not a minority, I drive newer vehicles, I have no warrants, and I can afford a citation should they issue one. I am deeply disturbed that we have a “papers please” Gestapo in the USA. This is less about me and more about what is right and just.

On the highway, I often observe a “parting of the sea” where a cruiser without its lights on tailgates each vehicle until it moves over, so the cop can drive far faster than the flow of traffic. This is unsafe, and every lane change is a potential accident waiting to happen. Are the cops there

for safety, and if so, why are they cre-ating hazards? Or is this really the American version of the Brownshirts?

I am often driving late at night, coming home at 2 or 3 a.m. I am often unsafely tailgated by police cruisers, presumably so that they can read my license plate and run my vehicle through a database. I find this activ-ity dangerous (tailgating), distracting to me while I pay attention to my rear-view mirror instead of the road in front of me, and it is intimidating. As a citizen, I should not be intim-idated by my government. I would think that the 4th Amendment pro-tections against unreasonable search, seizure, and surveillance would apply, but I am sure that our conservative Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Gestapo. “Driving while it’s late” should be no excuse to create hazard-ous situations, run innocent people through databases, and intimidate tax paying citizens.

Recently, I was pulled over at about midnight by a municipal cop (town to be unnamed) for having an “obscured license plate” and received a written warning. I have used a commercially available bicycle rack on my vehicle for many years. I was told that I couldn’t use it. These racks are com-mercially available, common, I have used them for years, and I don’t know anybody else who has been hassled. This sounds like the excuse du jour for the rolling checkpoint so they can ask for my papers. Telling me my license plate isn’t visible enough sounds a lot like a Nazi telling a registered Jew to walk with their arms facing out and visible at all times.

Some states have laws on the books specifically protecting bicycle racks. Utah for example has a law specifical-ly exempting luggage, bicycle, ski, and wheelchair racks from enforcement (https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title41/Chapter1A/41-1a-S404.html).

I call on our local representatives to draft legislation codifying protections for cyclists similar to what is law in Utah.

To the Editor:I have been reading the New Leader

for years, and after all that I have seen in the editorial section, it is time for me to throw my hat in the ring. The rise of isolationism and the fact that Donald Trump had any significant sup-port disturbs me. Mark Twain once said that “History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme.” As this past year, we celebrated the end of World War I, we should all listen closely to the echoes of history and avoid replaying the discordant notes of the past.

For centuries, our global economic fortunes have been shaped by the twin forces of technological advancement and global integration. These forces have the prospect to drive prosperi-ty across nations. But if mismanaged, they also have the potential to provoke calamity. World War I is a searing example of everything going wrong.

The 50 years leading up the to the Great War were a period of remarkable technological advances such as steam-ships, locomotion, electrification, and telecommunications. It was this period that shaped the contours of our modern world. It was also a period of previous-ly unprecedented global integration—what many refer to as the first era of globalization, where goods, money, and people could move across borders with relatively minimal impediments. Between 1870 and 1913, we saw large gains in exports as a share of GDP in many economies—a sign of increasing openness.

All of this created great wealth. But it was not distributed evenly or fairly. This was the era of the dark and danger-ous factories and the robber barons. It was an era of massively rising inequal-ity. In 1910 in the United Kingdom, the top 1 percent controlled nearly 70 per-cent of the nation’s wealth—a disparity never reached before or after.

Then, as now, rising inequality and the uneven gains from technological change and globalization contributed to a backlash. In the run-up to the war, countries responded by scrambling for national advantage, forsaking the

idea of mutual cooperation in favor of zero-sum dominance. The result was catastrophe—the full weight of modern technology deployed toward carnage and destruction.

And in 1918, when leaders surveyed the corpse-laden poppy fields, they failed to draw the correct lessons. They again put short-term advantage over long-term prosperity—retreating from trade, trying to recreate the gold standard, and eschewing the mecha-nisms of peaceful cooperation. As John Maynard Keynes—one of the IMF’s founding fathers—wrote in response to the Versailles Treaty, the insistence on imposing financial ruin on Germany would eventually lead to disaster. He was entirely correct.

It took the horrors of another war for world leaders to find more durable solutions to our shared problems. The United Nations and a new world order are a proud part of this legacy. The system created after World War II was always meant to be able to adapt. From the move to flexible exchange rates in the 1970s to the creation of the World Trade Organization.

Today, we can find striking similar-ities with the period before the Great War—dizzying technological advanc-es, deepening global integration, and growing prosperity, which has lifted vast numbers out of poverty, but unfor-tunately has also left many behind. Safety nets are better now and have helped, but in some places, we are once again seeing rising anger and frustra-tion combined with a backlash against globalization.

Each of us—every leader and every citizen—has a responsibility to contrib-ute to this rebuilding.

After all, what was true in 1918 is still true today: The peaceful coexistence of nations and the economic prospects of millions depends squarely on our abil-ity to discover the rhymes within our shared history.

History often rhymes

To the Editor:I write this letter specifically to you,

Mr. Omar Har-Yarok, in response to your Feb. 15 post, titled “Religiosity.” You have made it clear that you reject the Bible and everything in it. You also dislike the people who believe in the Bible, labeling them the “mentally deranged” of the world. Perhaps Mr. Reed stepped on a few toes by writing “God Will Judge,” but I believe that he was just sharing his beliefs. You see, the Bible openly states that its message is offensive. However, it commands Christians to share this message:

God set up rules; man rebelled. Man is now under God›s judgement, but God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, to right the wrong of rebellious, sinful men. Those who believe on Him are under God›s righteousness, love, and mercy. Not His wrath and judge-ment.

That is an extremely high con-densed version of the Christian mes-sage, but you get the basic idea. You see, Mr. Reed believes that you are under God’s judgement, but he didn’t write that letter to condemn you, only to show you the way out. So Mr. Reed, in the obedience and conviction of his faith, wrote that letter.

You also compare the president of the United States to Adolf Hitler by the way that they came to power. Donald Trump won the 2016 election. Let›s not sulk anymore about it, for anoth-er election is coming up very soon. Instead, while he is still in office, let›s respect him. Adolf Hitler was a fas-cist. In case we are not all familiar with this word the definition, from Wikipedia, is as follows : a form of rad-ical authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy. Let’s focus on the “forc-ible suppression of opposition” part. Donald Trump was elected president. That was good news for some of us and bad for others. Yes, Pres. Trump does have the support of many Conservative Christians, and that is because of some of the values that he upholds. There are

many Americans who hate this man; you Mr. Har-Yarok are among them. Disagreement with the things a presi-dent does is fine. That’s why we have two sides: Democrats and Republicans. However, the problem comes when dis-agreement turns into a closed mind and hatred towards those with views oppos-ing our own. This is happening today! People can say anything they want without criticism until they reveal that they support Donald Trump. Then instantly the opposite side labels them as racist, “deploreables” and “mentally deranged.” That, readers, is “forcible suppression of opposition”, and it is running rampant through America. This fascism has gotten so bad that some people are telling Christians to leave the U.S (“Whose Values” New Leader Feb. 15). Why? Because the beliefs of Christians and their support of Donald Trump are opposing the non-Christian, non-Trump-supporting views. Is this still America? Aren’t we still one nation under God? - yet, we are poisoned with this fascistic atti-tude. I ask you, who is more like Hitler, Pres. Trump or those opposing him? I welcome disagreements and debates, but both must be done rationally with careful listening and open-mindedness on both sides.

Finally, Mr. Har-Yarok, I would like to shed some light on the words “when Jesus talks to you.” These words are commonly tossed around among Christians. It doesn’t mean literally “hearing voices,” but it refers to read-ing the Bible and letting the words sink in. As you’ve gathered from Mr. Reed, Christians believe that the Bible is the word of God. So, reading and studying the Bible is ‘literally’ Jesus talking to you. If Vice President Mike Pence was really hearing voices then you would call that a form of mental illness. Yet, hearing voices is not as much of a men-tal illness as is a man with the body of a man declaring that he is a woman.

few days at the jail. The pup had spent her infant months on her own, but now she receives all the attention she can get from inmates.

“This beautiful blue heeler mix was once down on her luck and homeless. Now part of our Project Good Dog pro-gram at the jail, she is being trained, loved and happily fed each day by our best inmates to get ready for her forever home,” read a statement issued by the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office. “It’s only Gracie’s second day at the jail and she is already less shy. In a few months, she will make a wonderful family pet.”

Inmates will continue to work with Gracie over the next few months to prepare her for adoption. By providing dogs with training and socialization skills, the inmates are significantly increasing their chances for adoption, officials said.

“I founded the program in 2015 because I saw a need for some addi-tional training to help some of the dogs that were overlooked, either because of the breed or the energy level,” said SCAS marketing director Lindsay Doray. “We knew they were great dogs that just needed someone to give them a little extra time and training.”

Project Good Dog has become just as beneficial to inmates as it is to their four-legged friends. Inmates must meet specific criteria to be eligible for the program, and it helps give them a sense of purpose and responsibility while in jail, officials said. It also helps inmates create bonds and work together to train dogs, in addition to relieving stress in the jail.

Moreover, the program gives inmates who aren’t involved something to aspire toward if they maintain good behavior. Worcester County Sheriff Lew Evangelidis often stops by to visit the pups, and his staff has been thrilled by the progress of the program.

The initiative is also supported by PetSmart Charities and the Pedigree Foundation. In addition to its work with the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, SCAS also runs similar programs in partnerships with the North Central Correctional Institution in Gardner and the Hampden County Sheriff’s Department in Ludlow.

If you would like more information about Gracie and her eventual adoption process, please contact the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office at 508-854-1801.

To the Editor:Judeo-Christian is a term many of

us have heard before, few of us under-stand, and some writers in this pub-lication insist on using. It is a term I would like to see retired to the dustbin of history because its context is either ignorance or anti-Semitism.

Judeo-Christian has been used since at least as far back as 1821, when it was used in reference to Jewish converts to Christianity, and has been used to refer to a style of church that would keep some Jewish traditions in order to convert Jews. Note to all that Jews consider proselytizing to be unaccept-able, and consider efforts to convert Jews to Christianity to be anti-Semit-ic. Most Mainline Christian denom-inations have now publicly declared that they will no longer proselytize to Jews. Other Evangelical Christian churches have said they will contin-ue their efforts to evangelize among Jews, and claim (as non-Jews) that it is not anti-Semitic. As a Jew, I consid-er efforts to convert others generally unacceptable.

Note that Christians and Muslims both consider themselves “universal religions” and proselytize. They both believe that in order to achieve salva-tion — that is, to make it to heaven — everybody must believe the same things they believe in. Judaism does not operate that way. According to the Talmud (Sanhedrin 105a) righteous gentiles have a place in the world to come.

The German term “Judenchristlich” can be found in writings of the 19th century in a decidedly negative sense to highlight where the Jewish world view had gaps with Christianity. The expression appears in “The Antichrist,” published in 1895, and can be found in a 1887 publication titled, “On the Genealogy of Morality.”

Contemporary use of the term Judeo-Christian first become common in the United States in the 1940’s as a response to the growth of antisemi-tism in America. The rise of antisem-itism concerned Protestants and Catholics so the term was coined to smooth things over, tell the Christians in America, “see, they’re like us.”

For some Christians, the concept of a Judeo-Christian tradition comfort-ably suggests that Judaism progress-es into Christianity—that Judaism is somehow completed in Christianity. The concept of a Judeo-Christian tra-dition flows from the Christian the-ology of supersession, whereby the

Christian covenant (or Testament) with God supersedes the Jewish one. Christianity, according to this belief, reforms and replaces Judaism. The belief therefore implies, first, that Judaism needs reformation and replacement, and second, that modern Judaism remains merely as a “relic.” Most importantly, the belief of the Judeo-Christian tradition insidious-ly obscures the real and significant differences between Judaism and Christianity.

Through sole-searching in the aftermath of the Holocaust, there was a revolution in Christian theol-ogy in America. The greatest shift of Christian attitudes towards the Jewish people since Constantine con-verted the Roman Empire. The rise of Christian Zionism—that is, reli-giously motivated Christian interest and support for the state of Israel—along with a growth of philo-Semi-tism (love of the Jewish people) has increased interest among American Evangelicals in Judaism, especially areas of commonality with their own beliefs.

Some have advocated for the term “Abrahamic religion” or “Abrahamic values” to include all Abrahamic religions and not to exclude Islam. Abrahamic religions all trace their origins to Abraham and includes Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Given the structural similarities between Christianity and Islam, and given the vast body of shared belief I would think this umbrella term would fit well. Given that Islam and Christianity both proselytize, both regard belief to be of the utmost impor-tance (as opposed to Judaism which emphasizes actions), and that Islam views Jesus as a penultimate prophet and messenger of God whereas the Judaism views Jesus as the most dam-aging off all of the various false mes-siahs…Christians and Muslims are arguably closer cousins than either of them are with the Jews.

I consider “Judeo-Christian” to be either a term of ignorance or anti-Sem-itism. I like to think the best of people so I assume it is ignorance. Now that we are all armed with the facts, I respectfully ask that the term be retired and not assigned to conserva-tive Christian commentary.

What does ‘Judeo-Christian’ mean?

To the Editor:I stand with Mr. Reed in defiance

to the blasphemous comments from some of the other letter writers. This leftist smear campaign against the truths of the bible and God’s literal and inspired word is shameful, and should not be allowed in a civilized society.

I agree with Mr. Reed that this is not about religion or “religiosity”; it is about a personal relationship with one another and our Lord Jesus Christ for personal salvation. Christ, the sinless lamb, loved all of us, even unto the cross. He died and rose for every one of us. This is not about jamming anything down anybody’s throat; this is about telling truths and exposing lies. We will not keep our faith to ourselves because that is not the commission we have been given.

We should not be shocked when non-Christians mock our beliefs. Jesus was mocked when He was cruci-fied, and He told us that people would hate us because we follow Him. This is the high cost of being a disciple. When we embrace Christianity, we give up the hope of being popular. I don’t live for the world’s approval, and it’s crazy to expect people who have not had a personal encounter with Christ to respect my faith or applaud my morality.

Second Peter 3:3 says in the last days, “mockers will come with their mock-ing, following after their own lusts.” A common characteristic of this fallen world is mockery. Unbelievers some-times mock God, take His name in vain, attack the Bible, make fun of churches and ridicule anyone who fol-lows Jesus. Persecution should never come as a surprise to you. Don’t be shocked when it happens! Paul wrote: “All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution” (2 Tim. 3:12).

Jesus said it best in Matthew 5:43-44:

“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.”

Mocking the Bible as fables or a ”fairy tale” is not a new concept, either. I don’t even have to defend it. The Bible stands on its own.

I believe many people are looking for the rebirth of their dead spirit and don’t even know it but are being deceived by Satan and many others into believing it’s by their power look-ing within themselves that will cause their spirit to be reborn. When it comes to spiritual matters, it doesn’t come from our strength or power because we are cursed with a sin nature.

There is good news: Make Jesus Christ lord of your life and the Holy Spirit will live in your heart then your spirit will be born again. Jesus said: “You must be born again even to see or enter the kingdom of God.” Do not marvel that Jesus said: “You must be born again.” Read it for yourself: John 3: 1-10.

If you reject Jesus, then it’s your life and to each their own. It begs the question, what happens to those who reject Jesus? Some say they are totally annihilated. Others say that they are eternally tormented. In 2 Thessalonians 1:5 it speaks to the time of judgement. We can be assured that God’s judgement is just and right. The lost will be judged on whether they have accepted or rejected Jesus Christ; whether they have come into the light or have remained in dark-ness.

Amen.

Editorial

It’s almost over!

For many of us, winter is a dreaded season. It’s not so much the snow as it is the frigid temperatures and high cost of fuel. We happen to enjoy the fall and winter seasons most ourse-vles, but for those who are having glum feelings about the colder weath-er, or even for those who love all weather, we have some tips on some things you can do to help keep your spirits up as we enter (hopefully!) the final few weeks of the winter season.

One thing you can say ‘be gone’ to is the idea that you have to always have a positive outlook on any given situation. If you try to avoid negative feelings all of the time, you’re not cre-ating a healthy space for when you are truly happy. If you need to vent, do it. If you’re upset and need to cry into a bowl of ice cream, have at it. It is your overall life satisfaction that matters.

Minimize your time on social media. Remember the days when you didn’t know what your friends, family or even celebrities were doing every second of the day? Those were blissful times. The only way we knew what someone was up to was to pick up the phone, wait for the dial tone, and make that call. We’re not sure we ever inquired about what our friends were eating. All of that unneces-sary knowledge is overwhelming at times, and simply put, unnecessary. One study showed that the more time people spend on social media, the more depressed they are. When we spend too much time online we know that we are wasting time. The idea of wasting time can inflict a feel-ing of depression on anyone who is typically highly motivated and ener-getic. Documenting every aspect of your life can be exhausting, and takes away from the actual experience.

Don’t compare yourself to others. “No one is you, and that is your power” is a phrase that we particular-ly love. People have been comparing themselves to others since the dawn of time. The idea of keeping up with the Joneses is outdated. Don’t do that. Love the idea that the person sitting next to you or walking down the street is nothing like you.

Keep likeminded company. If you have friends who always seem to be complaining, minimize your contact with them, especially during the win-ter months. No one should have to be subjected to relentless grousing just for the sake of having someone to talk to.

Have realistic goals. If you start with reasonable expectations and grow from there, your success rate in reaching your higher goals will be greater and less stressful to obtain.

Forgive others. This one is extremely hard; however, forgiving those who have hurt you is key to feeling relaxed and happy.

Eating too much sugar can lead to depression. Balance in your meals has been scientifically proven to make people happier. More vegeta-bles, more fiber and less processed food.

Opt to spend your money on experi-ences rather than things. Experts say the satisfaction of an experience will last much longer.

Lastly, choose good posture. While sitting up, you automatical-ly feel more energetic and positive. Slouching can lead to feel nervous, sleepy, sluggish and fearful.

A quote by Jim Rohn sums it up: “Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is some-thing you design for the present.”

If you’re going to achieve your i m p o r t a n t f i n a n c i a l goals, you’ll need to build an appropri-ate invest-

ment portfolio. But that’s only part of the story – because you also need to protect what you have, what you earn and what you’d like to leave behind. That’s why it’s a good idea to become familiar with the various types of insurance and how they can address short- and long-term needs.

For starters, consider life insur-ance. You may have important long-term goals, such as leaving an inher-itance for your family and providing resources for your favorite charities. You may be able to fulfill some of these through the death benefit on your policy.

You can also purchase life insur-ance to help fill the gap between the amounts you have saved and what your family would need if you died unexpectedly. Thus, insurance can pay for liabilities (such as a mort-gage, car payments, student loans and other debts), education expenses (such as college for your children) and final expenses associated with your passing.

Next, consider disability insur-ance. If you were injured or became ill and couldn’t work for a while, the loss of income could be a big problem for your family members – in fact, it could disrupt their entire lifestyle. Even a short-term disability could prove worrisome, while a long-term disability could be catastrophic. Your employer might offer short-term dis-ability insurance, and that could be enough – but do you really want to take that chance? To protect your income if you were out of work for an extended period, you might need to supplement your employer’s cov-erage with your own long-term dis-ability policy. Long-term disability insurance, which generally kicks in after you’ve used up your short-term benefits, may pay you for a designat-ed time period (perhaps two to five years) or until your reach a certain age, such as 65. Long-term disability insurance likely won’t replace your entire income, but it can go a long way toward helping you stay “above water” until you recover.

You may also want to think about long-term care insurance. Despite its name, a long-term care policy could meet either short- or long-term needs. On the short-term end, you might need the services of a home health care aide to assist you in your recov-ery from an injury such as a broken hip. On the other end of the long-term care scale, you might someday need an extensive stay in a nursing home, which can be extremely expensive and which isn’t typically covered by Medicare. But in either case, you might be able to benefit from a long-term care insurance policy, or pos-sibly a long-term care rider attached to a life insurance policy. And the earlier you take action, the better, because long-term care insurance, in particular, generally becomes more expensive the older you get.

This list of insurance policies, and the needs they can help meet, is cer-tainly not exhaustive, but it should give you an idea of just how import-ant the right insurance coverage can be for you – at almost any stage of your life.

To the Editor:There has been a steady drone of

newspaper editorials and “news” sto-ries on Fox News, MSNBC and other media outlets on the topic of Venezuela. The general gist of these entries is that Venezuela is a mess (partially true), Venezuelan President Maduro is at fault (partially true) and the underly-ing problem in Venezuela is socialism (totally false).

The US based oil companies have always lusted after Venezuela for the obvious reason that the country

possesses the largest known petro-leum reserve in the world. For many decades, US oil interests siphoned off that oil for their own profit while (as usual) stiffing the Venezuelan people and propping up an oligarch class which was a willing abettor.

Under the oligarch’s control, condi-tions deteriorated to such an extent due to the vast income gap between common Venezuelans and the oli-garchs that Hugo Chavez (remember him?) was able to win the Presidential election of 1998 with 56 percent of the

vote. Chavez was immensely popu-lar amongst the working class of the country. Chavez began to implement economic and social changes which transformed Venezuela into a modern nation (which it is today). Principle among these changes was to seize con-trol of the means of oil production and basically expel the US oil compa-nies that were stealing Venezuelan oil. With the oil revenues now flowing into the country instead of to foreign interests, Chavez began a series of social reforms aimed at reducing pov-erty, increasing access to health ser-vices and expanding literacy among the poorer classes.

All of this immediately got the atten-tion of the oligarchs in Washington, and from that day until now, Washington has worked unrelentingly to under-mine the economy and government of Venezuela, hoping to restore US access to Venezuelan oil. It is the same old same old. Demonize the political lead-ers of the offending country, impose sanctions on the country destabilizing the economy, start an opposition party incorporating the dissenting oligarch class, bribe the military of offending country, stage fake anti-government protests and stage a military coup top-pling the legitimately elected govern-ment of the targeted country.

The American people are being lied to about Venezuela. The corporate propaganda machine is running full tilt seeking to create the false premise that the US has to “step in” to save Venezuela from itself. The old war criminal, Eliot Abrams, has been res-urrected to help the Venezuelan people come to their senses. It is his spe-cialty (see his handiwork in Central America).

There is a funny thing about Venezuelan oil. It is a very thick, viscous substance, difficult to retrieve and refine. World oil prices must be at least 50 dollars a barrel for the pro-cess to be profitable. As a glut of oil swamped the oil markets beginning about 10 years ago, Venezuelan oil revenues disappeared because it was no longer to feasible to produce oil at a profit. Since oil revenue was the prin-ciple source of money used to finance the economic and social reforms of the country, the economy collapsed and the people of Venezuela suffered short-ages of many vital commodities, prin-ciple among them being food. Oddly enough the oligarchs control most of the food production. Surely the oligarchs wouldn’t starve their own people in an effort to destabilize the government or would they? About this

time the US decided to issue economic sanctions against Venezuela denying the country access to the billions of dollars it had in foreign banks and the ability to borrow money from foreign banks. Obviously, this is contributing to the increasing economic hardships endured by the Venezuelan people.

Washington would like you to believe that Venezuela is a country in political crises. It is not. It is a vibrant dem-ocratic country which has problems just like us. The people of Venezuela like to demonstrate openly for and against the issues which affect them (just like in France). These demonstra-tions are generally peaceable. The US corporate press will lead with a story that a hundred thousand anti-govern-ment protestors took to the streets and yet fail to report that a million pro-gov-ernment supporters marched the next day in response.

The US wants regime change in Venezuela. The US corporatist want Venezuelan oil. They will lie, obfus-cate, create alternate realities and send dozens of government “experts” to create a false narrative on innu-merable TV news shows to promote their fictions in support of their goals. Mysterious anti Venezuela opinion pieces will appear on internet blogs and newspapers from representatives of phony think tanks formed just for this purpose. Yes, the US propaganda machine is functioning on all eight cyl-inders. I have seen three editorial col-umns on Venezuela in the Worcester T and G in just the past couple of weeks. This is not a coincidence.

I urge the people of this country not to fall once again for the same old lies. There has not been a violent government change in Venezuela for decades. Their democracy is healthy and functioning. The Carter Center has observed numerous elections in Venezuela and pronounced them fair and open, better in fact than our own with much greater popular partici-pation. The Venezuelan people have voted repeatedly in support of the existing government and against the oligarchs and their US backed efforts to subvert their country.

Do not allow our government to wage war against Venezuela. Let Venezuelans decide the fate of Venezuela.

To the Editor:While much has been said about the

Christian God, his alleged son (I still suspect Joseph), his teenage baby-mom-ma, and the secularists that mock this story and the book it is found in, it is only half true. True, I can be mock-ing at times, but I am no secularist. I am a Pastafarian, and would like to present to all a condensed version of the “Condensed History of the World” from the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

The flying spaghetti monster created the universe and a bunch of planets, including planet Earth. No one except himself (His Noodliness) was around to see it, but we suspect it was rather dull. The initial creation, obviously, must have been spectacular, but He then spent the next 10 to 100 years painstakingly preparing the uni-verse to appear older than it actually is. Photons were placed individually, en route to earth, ostensibly emitted mil-lions of years ago from stars across the galaxy. In reality, we know that each photon was divinely placed and re-shift-ed appropriately to make the universe appear to be billions of years old. We are still finding His Noodliness’ camou-flage methods at work today; each time scientists discover apparent evidence of a billions-of-years-old universe, we can be assured this is just more elabo-rate preparation He put in place.

Earth was created in approxi-mately six hundredths of a second, and was similarly disguised to appear much older. We can be certain that FSM spent even more time preparing the earth, because, being all-knowing, He was well aware that soon enough there would be nosy people poking around everywhere, known as “scientists” to figure out how things work, and so it was even more important that our apparent reality be well designed to hide the truth.

Our Noodly Creator then places fossils, hidden under the earth’s sur-face, knowing that they would later

be found – thus, seemingly proving that these creatures existed some time ago. Dinosaur bones, for example, were placed so well and in such numbers that it is widely believed that dinosaurs roamed the earth millions of years ago. We know, of course, that dinosaurs did exist, but not millions of years ago, because, of course, how could they have existed before the earth was even here? In reality they lived with us, alongside-and occasionally on top of humans around 3,000 years ago. You may wonder why we find no bones from dinosaurs from the era in which they existed – it is really an elaborate hoax planned for his own divine amusement.

What happened next is still a mystery. Mankind up until this time had been successfully duped by His Noodliness, wrongly believing that nat-ural explanations could explain our origins. One would think that the FSM himself would be pleased by this, as He had gone to so much trouble disguising his creation work. But 2,500 years ago is when he first revealed his Noodly Appendage to us, showing us the way. From this point on, those who accepted His message that they were to live a certain way.

Early cave paintings sug-gest that the FSM tried to interfere with aboriginal hunters in an effort to get them to eat more pasta. When Ben Franklin described electricity as a “Noodly power cast down to earth,” he was more correct than people realized.

I encourage all to read the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and do not be disturbed by the truths it advances. It is my guiding force.

SPENCER

BY NICK ETHIERSPORTS STAFF WRITER

WESTBOROUGH — Despite a 67-59 loss to Medway High in the semifinals of the 17th annu-al Westborough Invitational Tournament, played Tuesday, Feb. 19 at Westborough High, the Tantasqua Regional girls’ varsity basketball team

believes that it was an experi-ence that could help out on a potential postseason run.

“We’re in this tournament to get us District ready, to have that elite competition, and we certainly had it tonight,” head coach Tom Goyette said of fac-ing off against the Mustangs. “We were going toe to toe

tonight against a great basket-ball team.”

The Warriors, seeded sec-ond, and third ranked Medway put on a back-and-forth show, as the lead never eclipsed 10 points.

“They’ve got a lot of size and quickness, that’s an all-around tough team and they play in a tough league,” Goyette added about the Mustangs. “Our girls stepped it up and really stayed with them. We were physical and intense.”

Tantasqua, who reached the semifinals by beating No. 7 Westborough High in the first day of the tournament, 52-37, was playing evenly with Medway until the Mustangs embarked on a 9-0 run — bridg-ing the end of the first quar-ter into the beginning of the second — to grab a 21-14 lead. But the Warriors, behind the play of Lydia Boland and Erin Jensen, battled back to take a 27-26 lead with 2:55 remaining until halftime.

Boland scored seven of her team-high 19 points in the peri-od, while Jensen netted six of her eight points in the frame. But Medway always had an answer, as Rachel Costello beat the halftime buzzer with a 3-pointer as the Mustangs led, 36-31, at the break.

The third quarter was where Medway looked to have taken control — they led, 46-36, mid-way through the period — but Boland hit 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions a short time later to close the gap to within six points, 50-44.

Tantasqua trailed by just four, 52-48, as play entered the fourth quarter.

“We kept clawing back,” explained Goyette. “Our kids are just battlers, they’re resil-ient, and they have a never-say-die attitude.”

The Warriors’ Ainsley Way (13 points, 10 rebounds) then clipped the deficit down to two points, 52-50, when she secured an offensive rebound and made the put-back to open the fourth, but they could get no closer. Medway’s Lauren Beach was a problem throughout, as she scored a game-high 21 points and pulled down 10 rebounds.

“She was tough; she was inside and outside,” Goyette said of Beach’s style of play. “She’s so quick and so big — she’s probably the best player that we’ve played against all year.”

Other double-digit scor-ers included the Mustangs’ Samantha Murray (18 points) and Tantasqua’s Emerson Cherry (11 points).

Goyette was happy with what he saw from his bench players, as come District time everyone will be needed to show up and contribute.

“We wanted to see more of

an impact from our kids com-ing off our bench, more pro-duction, and they took it as a challenge,” he said. “We played great [from players] 1-10. I’m really pleased with their per-formance.”

Tantasqua finished its regu-lar season at 13-7.

“In our seven losses, three of them are by two points, one went to overtime, and we’ve been in every game this year. They’re resilient and they bat-tle until the end,” said Goyette.

The Warriors earned the No. 4 seed in the Western Mass. Division 2 Tournament and will host No. 5 Quabbin Regional (11-9) on Thursday, Feb. 28 at 5:30 p.m.

Medway, meanwhile, lost in the Westborough Tournament final to No. 1 Holy Name High, 45-35, as the Mustangs (14-7) will ready themselves for play in the Central Mass. Division 2 Tournament, while the Naps (17-4) will partake in the Central Mass. Division 1 Tournament.

Necessary experience gained for Warriors, even in Westborough Tournament loss

With Districts up next, Tantasqua falls in regular season finale to Milford

MILFORD — On Wednesday, Feb. 20, the Tantasqua Regional boys’ varsity basketball team wrapped up its reg-ular season at Milford High in the consolation game of the Scarlet Hawk Tournament. There, the Warriors took on the hosts from Milford.

Unfortunately for Tantasqua, the Scarlet Hawks emerged victorious, 68-59. Two days prior the Warriors lost to Wellesley

High in first round action, 43-30.Despite the two losses, Tantasqua finished its regular

season with a record of 14-6. The Warriors will now embark on the Western Mass. Division 2 Tournament, where they earned the No. 4 seed. Tantasqua will play No. 5 Northampton High (10-10) at home on Thursday, Feb. 28 at 7 p.m.

BY KEN POWERSSPORTS CORRESPONDENT

AUBURN — The G r o t o n - D u n s t a b l e Regional boys’ varsity ice hockey team scored four consecutive goals to overcome a one-goal, late second-period deficit and the Crusaders went on to defeat the Auburn High co-op, 6-3, in the regular season finale for both teams on Thursday, Feb. 21 at the Daniel S. Horgan Memorial Ice Rink.

The Rockets (11-8-1) grabbed a 2-1 lead with 1:33 to play in the second period on a goal by fresh-man Dillon Winkelmann, thanks to assists by seniors Cam Dungey and Ryan Slade. On the goal-scoring rush up ice the trio swapped the puck back and forth before Winkelmann blast-ed the puck past Ryan Mosscrop, the Crusaders’ sophomore goalie.

Auburn, which also features players from Tantasqua and Shepherd Hill Regional, had tied the game, 1-1, with 2:06 left in the first period on a picture-perfect goal by senior Ryan Lempicki, who was set up by class-mate John Rannikko. After a faceoff in the Groton-Dunstable end, which went to Rannikko in the high slot, Rannikko gained control of the puck, faked a shot and then slid a pass to his left to Lempicki, who sent a blistering shot past Mosscrop in to the upper left corner above Mosscrop’s stick.

Although that goal may have been pretty,

Auburn head coach Glen Bombard was displeased with his team’s lack of peppering the net.

“We did it to our-selves,” Bombard said of the loss. “We gotta make every goal look pretty. We hit more glass than we did net tonight, but it’s been like that every game. We keep telling them ‘get the puck to the net, get the puck to the net, get the puck to the net,’ but everything has got to be up; glass, glass, glass, glass. You don’t get points for glass.

“If we put three or four in the net in that second period — when we had the opportunities — it would have been game over,” Bombard con-tinued. “It would have been game, set, match. Instead we start running around taking dumb pen-alties, getting frustrated because we can’t control ourselves. We do it to our-selves. That’s just what it is.”

Groton-Dunstable (11-8-1) tied the game, 2-2, with 2.7 seconds left in the sec-ond period when senior Ryan Cox poked the puck past Collin Winkelmann, Auburn’s senior goalie, after a mad scramble right in front of the net involving six skaters.

The Crusaders took the lead for good just 32 seconds into the third period, sophomore Jacob Figueroa scoring the first of his three third-pe-riod goals, off an assist from sophomore Nate Glencross. The Crusaders pushed their lead to 4-2 at the 8:59 mark of the peri-

od on a goal by Glencross, who was assisted by junior Brendan Ferrari.

Figueroa’s second goal of the period — on the power play — came with 3:11 left in the game, giv-ing Groton-Dunstable a three-goal lead (5-2). Auburn ended the Crusaders’ goal-scoring streak with 1:12 to play on an unassisted goal by senior Caleb Mackin. Groton-Dunstable closed out the scoring with 27 seconds left in the game on Figueroa’s hat trick goal, with assists going to the freshmen T.J. Sannazzaro and Hunter Woolfrey.

With the playoffs loom-ing, Bombard is still looking for the Rockets to play a full game.

“I thought tonight we skated hard at times here and there but it just wasn’t a full 45 [min-utes],” Bombard said. “The first period we only played 10 minutes, and we dominated the 10 minutes that we played. In the second period we came out and we proba-bly played another 10. We play 25 minutes a game, 30 minutes a game; that just isn’t going to cut it.

“You’ve got to play 45, you’ve got to play physi-cal and you’ve got to keep your head,” Bombard continued. “It’s a known fact that if you’re going to spend time in the box killing penalties all night long you’re not going to win.”

Bombard said despite the disappointment of the loss, the Rockets can come back and have a

strong showing in the postseason.

“It’s up to them; it comes down to them,” Bombard said about his players. “If they start listening to the coaches, maybe we’ll win some games. But, until that

happens, we’re not going to go very far.”

Auburn will have that chance on Saturday, March 2 when they take on Algonquin Regional in the quarterfinals of the Central Mass. Division 3 Tournament.

The sixth seeded Rockets will play the game at the NorthStar Youth Forum in Westborough at 7:10 p.m., where the third ranked Tomahawks (13-4-3) call home.
