CHARLTON — Bay Path’s Early College High School program began on Tuesday, Jan. 19, the vocational techni-cal high school’s second year offering students college courses.

In partnership with Quinsigamond Community College, Bay Path is offering Introduction to Computer Science, Introduction to English Literature and Composition and Introduction to Psychology, which are all

worth three college cred-its. Bay Path will also be offering Introduction to Aviation Science, worth two college cred-its, in partnership with AeroVenture Institute.

The four cours-es’ college credit will count towards any

college degree at any Massachusetts state col-lege.

“Options are advan-tages,” said Curriculum Coordinator Bethann Cormier. “I think the more opportunities you provide to kids, the more successful they’ll be in

the their future, career or college-wise.”

Last year, Bay Path only offered two QCC credited courses, English 100 and Computer Science 100. Ten to 15 stu-dents enrolled in each of

AUBURN — A group of novelists gathered to cele-brate their recently com-pleted works last week at Auburn Middle School. And though you wouldn’t know it by reading their stories, these novelists haven’t even surpassed the eighth grade yet.

It’s hard enough to write a novel in general — now imagine complet-ing the feat in a single month.

But 24 AMS students indeed wrote their 30,000-word (or longer) novels in one month as part of a challenging endeavor. More than 50 seventh and eighth graders eager to write a novel initially joined the group, but only about half of them saw the project through to its completion.

The undertaking required determination and dedication, as it wasn’t easy to balance the writing workload with academic and athletic responsibilities. Most of the students wrote about 1,000 words every day in order to reach the dead-line, in addition to play-ing sports and taking part in other extracurricular activities.

“The kids loved it. The involvement was much better than what we expected,” said seventh grade teacher Sean Reid,

who worked with three other teachers as project advisors for the students.

The project was com-pleted as part of the National Novel Writing Month initiative, and the students now have until June to edit their works. Once finished, each student will receive a free copy of their novel from the National Novel Writing Month staff.

“My favorite part about writing my novel was creating the characters and getting to know them and really developing the relationship between each of them,” said eighth grader Julia Zona. “Some challenges I encountered during the writing pro-cess of the novel were scheduling out the time to write and making sure I had the momentum to push through and do it. It was also really hard to keep going with and keep-ing the flow throughout the book.”

The students had sev-eral inspirations for their writing projects, and their teachers were very impressed with their dedication and time man-agement. Committed to sharing their stories, the students stuck with the project all the way to the end and will now begin the editing process.

AUBURN — After another year of prepa-rations, the Auburn Recreation and Culture Department is once again ready to host one of its most successful and well-attended events of the year.

The Special Olympics basketball event is expected to again draw hundreds of partici-pants and their families to Auburn High School. Set for the weekend of March 12-13, the games will last from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, providing athletes from through-out the area a chance to play.

For many of these ath-letes who had previous-ly been denied oppor-tunities for athletic involvement, the Special Olympics is opening the

door to fun and compe-tition.

“Sports are a power-ful force. They can shift the focus from disabil-ity to ability, from iso-lation to involvement,” said Kristen Pappas, the director of the town’s Recreation and Culture Department. “Special Olympics offer the high-est quality Olympic-style sports training and competition for people with intellectual dis-abilities. This changes attitudes and changes lives.”

CHARLTON — “The Macarena” echoed throughout the Programming & Web Development classroom at Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School. Students were gathered around NAO, a small white and red robot, who was busy doing the popular line dance.

Even more impres-sive was how the robot

learned the dance — Programming & Web Development students programmed NAO, entering code for every little movement he made.

Through a Mass Life Sciences grant, the Programming & Web Development depart-ment received $28,000, as well as $33,000 from the Perkins Grant, to get the three humanoid

Ice fishing has been providing some great fishing for anglers that did not mind the cold last weekend.

My brother Ken and I decid-ed to do a little bit of jigging on Manchaug Pond this past weekend, although the wind and bitterly cold temperatures were not for the fair weather anglers. We managed to catch a few largemouth bass up to 4 pounds, along with a good number of white perch. We rarely catch white perch through the ice at

Manchaug, but we m u s t have had the cor-rect lure and bait for them. U s i n g a medi-um size

Swedish pimple baited with a small grub, the white perch were constantly being hooked up and brought to the surface. Many were lost while bringing them to the surface, but just catching a few for the fry pan was a great beginning for first ice. Not one yellow perch was caught, but an angler using ice tip ups landed a

single calico bass and numerous largemouth bass.

The following day, a group of local anglers like Bob Bromley, Scott Hale, Steve Mercure and others descended on Lake Manchaug and had a great day of fishing using jig sticks and

ERA Key Realty donates to The Marfan Foundation

AUBURN — ERA Key Realty Services in Auburn recently donated $1,000 to The Marfan

STURBRIDGE — In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Old Sturbridge Village held their annu-al celebration on Sunday, Jan. 17. Actress Tammy Denease performed a number of African American char-acters, including Elizabeth Freeman, or Mumbet.

Despite Sturbridge and surround-ing towns being a very Anglo-American part of the country in the early 1800’s, OSV maintains that it’s important to show “diversity in all aspects,” said Director of Special Events Jim O’Brien.

In fact, OSV is currently working on a new event called Juneteenth, or Freedom Week, which will be held in mid-June. What is Juneteenth? In 1865, when federal troops conquered Texas, the 13th Amendment was created, which abolished slavery. It was signed on June 19 and ever since then, people of color in Texas have celebrated the date. According to OSV Curator and historian Tom Keller, African American communi-ties have embraced Freedom Week nationally in the past ten years.

“At OSV it’s our mission to present a better understanding of the pres-ent through history,” said Keller. “People of color were every bit as part of New England — past and pres-ent — as anyone else. It’s part of our history and our future. That’s why we are including that. We’re not just a museum about dead, white people.

It’s important to include the whole story. You don’t want to tell selected bits.”

The events for Freedom Week are still being put together and planned, but O’Brien said it will include “songs, inspiring stories, public readings of the Emancipation Proclamation” and narratives from people who won their freedom. Guests will also have the chance to learn about Harriet Tubman and others who rallied for the abolitionist cause.

Recently, OSV added one African American household to their exhib-it. The household is based on a real African American family that lived in Sturbridge in the 1830s.

Guy Scoet was a mixed race man. His father was African American — a former slave from Brimfield — and his mother was part Native American. According to Keller, it can be hard to find the exact ethnici-ties in history records. Guy married a Native American woman named Hannah Simmons and they had chil-dren together.

In the early 2000’s, Keller met some of Hannah and Guy’s descendants while putting together an exhibit in the museum called “The Enduring People,” about Native Americans liv-ing in the community, helping him learn more about the interesting, one-of-a-kind family.

Guy had done a lot of agricultural labor when he was younger and he eventually became the foreman of a

led and graphite mine in Sturbridge. He rose up to be a supervisor, over-seeing white, Native American and African American labor forces in the mine. According to Keller, there is not a lot of documentation of people of color in those types of positions.

The person who owned the mine was considered the father of the ice industry and has been given the nick-name “Ice King.” One of Fredrick Tudor’s diversified investments was the graphite mine.

“Researchers from OSV have gone through his business records, in a library in Harvard. He mentions Guy a lot,” said Keller of Tudor. “But you’d never know Guy was a man of color in his records. There’s no ref-erence to that. He seemed to like and trust him. Tudor was a very ruthless, no-nonsense businessman. He was a serious entrepreneur. If someone didn’t work out, he got rid of them, no questions. But he kept Guy employed for an umber of years and put him a position of trust, working with him, mentioning him frequently.”

Despite not having a lot of African American history in Sturbridge, OSV still feels strongly about showcasing Freedom Week in June. Not much is known about the weeklong celebra-tion yet, but OSV was throwing a lot of ideas around during press time.

SOUTHBRIDGE — Trinity Catholic Academy is welcoming everybody to their open house on Sunday, Jan. 31, between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. The Catholic school is celebrating their 25th year as an elementary school, with an enrollment of more than 160 students from Southbridge and surrounding communities.

“The anniversary is important to us because in this day and age so many Catholic schools have declining enroll-ment,” said Principal Josie Citta, “but we have been able to survive very well within the community of Southbridge as a beacon of Catholic education.”

Citta said that the open house would provide prospective families with a tour given by members of the student council, as well as the opportunities to speak to teachers, members of the PTO

and board members.“It gives them the opportunity to

meet students and families firsthand and understand what the school is about,” continued Advancement Officer Al Menard. “I don’t know if many people know what it means to come to a Catholic school. There are many non-Catholics here as well. It’s a good alternative and we definitely recognize and want to share the infor-mation around about how successful our kids are in public schools, Catholic schools, and private schools after eighth grade. The alumni have done very well and often come back and support the school. We want to spread that beyond people who are familiar with the school already.”

Menard stated that Trinity has become a “family tradition” for many parents, Trinity alumni who are now bringing their children to be enrolled at Trinity.

“In fact, two of our teachers are alum-ni,” added Citta. “It’s very gratifying to know the experience they had here is something they want for their children as well. They knew they had a wonder-ful moral foundation in a safe environ-ment. They could express themselves without any threat of being bullied. It’s a place where they can become the people they know they can be, a place where they reach their potential.”

There is a misconception that Catholic schools are all about religion.

Menard explained that the school’s environment is about moral founda-tion, Catholic or not. Citta noted that the students – preschool through eighth grade – are “allowed to be kids.” Many students do not feel the pressures of mainstream society being imposed upon them.

Said Citta: “Within these walls we can invoke moral principles that outside of these walls might not be discussed, of faith and community and service.” One of the big proponents of Trinity is the community service.

Last year, Trinity students raised money to give to Harrington Hospital’s cancer center, volunteered at the food pantry weekly and held means for the senior community. The school raised over $2K for the ALS Ice bucket chal-lenge and is currently raising money and awareness for breast cancer, said Menard.

Citta also noted the school’s great educational opportunities. She con-tinued: “There’s more personal inter-action among students with teachers and staff. They get great attention from their teachers because there is such a favorable student to teacher ratio. Any academic or social issues can be addressed right away.”

ship,” Brunelle said. “This is the result of the students always committing to being their best.”

Brunelle and other school officials praised the students for their ability to lead and work as a team, as well as their respect for others and achieve-ment of common goals. As NJHS members, they will con-tinue to set examples for others and strive to foster an inclusive school environment for all.

“Being a NJHS inductee means being a student who stands out in the community to help it improve. None of us are part of NJHS for the fame or status. We’re all part of this group to help better the school atmosphere and whole com-munity,” said NJHS inductee Rezwana Uddin.

Added Alli Schoenfeldt, “Overall, the privilege of being able to be a part of this team is inspiring. With the intelligent group of students I get to share this experience with, I can see many points of views from others. I’m looking forward to seeing what the future brings for the National Junior Honor Society of 2015-16.”

Parents, family members and friends of the inductees

packed the school to celebrate their accomplishments. Guests learned not only about what it means to be an NJHS mem-ber, but also about the pillars of NJHS — character, scholar-ship, leadership, service, and citizenship.

Thriving in NJHS is about far more than excelling in and out of the classroom, guests learned. It’s about excelling in the development of character.

“Being a part of NJHS doesn’t mean you are in it because you got some good grades. It takes perseverance, leadership, responsibility, and courage,” said NJHS inductee Emma Scheible. “You’ve got to have a balance between your mind and heart, which everyone in

this school has.”For staff members, it means

a lot to see the students hon-ored each year as they take this major step in their pro-gression. They have already seen the kids come a long way in a short time, and they are looking forward to seeing how far the students’ dedication and persistence will take them.

“Work ethic, integrity, and diligence are rewarded with AMS National Junior Honor Society. These students are cer-tainly off to great places and on the road to success,” said NJHS co-advisor Sherri Watson.

The following students were inducted at the ceremony. Congratulations to all NJHS inductees.

LEARNING

Each year, all town depart-ments submit an overview of their accomplishments from the prior calendar year, with these reports being due to Town Hall in late January. These reports are then includ-ed in the Annual Town Report, a copy of which is available at the May Annual Town Meeting.

As we finalize this year’s submission for the Auburn Public Schools, it is with great pride that I read these over-views. Cumulatively, they

paint a powerful picture of the strides we are making and the direction in which we are heading. Among the many accomplishments were the major transitions that took place in the summer of 2015 — opening a new school, closing two schools and transferring others to the remaining build-ings. Beyond that, though, additional incredible forward

progress took place so I encour-age you to read that report once it is published this May. I thank, once again, the entire Auburn community for its ongoing support and likewise thank the entire APS Team for their unwavering dedication to excellence. The children of Auburn are indeed the bene-ficiaries of our collaborative efforts … thank you!

While admittedly loving these warmer than expected

temperatures, this being New England, though, we know that the cold, wind, sleet and snow cannot be far behind, although the long-range forecast sug-gests that we may only receive small intermittent amounts of snow in the next couple of weeks. As with every decision I make as Superintendent of the Auburn Public Schools, the decision to delay, cancel or even call for an early release of school is based upon what I believe is in the best interest of our students. My decision to close or delay school is made with the utmost care as student safety is paramount.

As noted on the website of the Auburn Public Schools under the “Parents” tab found along the top navigation bar, sever-al factors are carefully consid-ered in my decision-making process. Those include road

conditions throughout town for the safe passage of buses but also student drivers; the exist-ing accumulation of snow and/or ice; the rate and expected duration of this precipitation; meteorologists’ weather pre-dictions; sidewalk conditions; and school facility conditions including electricity, heat and parking lot conditions. Finally, I consult other local superin-tendents and share informa-tion with them.

Just as a reminder to all parents and caregivers, once again we will utilize the One Call Now automated calling system to notify our students’ families as well as posting it on the website of the Auburn Public Schools, www.auburn.k12.ma.us. School delays and cancellations will also be announced on the following television stations: Channel

4, Channel 5, Channel 7, and Channel 25. My goal is always to try to do this as early in the morning as possible, usually between 5:30 and 6 a.m.

Being a true New Englander and enjoying each of the sea-sons for its unique character-istics, there is a part of me that hopes that some snow will come our way for the enjoy-ment of ski and snowboard enthusiasts, ice fishermen and just for childhood playful fun, but there’s one caveat: let’s have it happen on weekends only!

To contact me to share an idea, a concern or to ask a question, I can be reached at 508-832-7755 or via e-mail at [email protected]. Thank you for your continued interest in and support of the Auburn Public Schools!

The Top 10 List: Part 2

Last week, I had so much to say, it couldn’t fit in one column!

Luckily, this piece runs every week, so I apol-ogize for the “To Be Continued” nature of last week’s entry, but for those of who were waiting so patiently for the epic conclusion of my Top 10 list, here is the final part — numbers 5 through

1 of the Top 10 things I have learned in my 10 years in the jour-nalism business. Enjoy — and if you missed last week’s half of the list, check it out online at www.508local.

com (or www.860local.com for our Connecticut readers)!

5. Don’t Expect Things to Be Handed To You — We live in an interesting time. There is a generation of kids coming up that somehow feel entitled to the same benefits of employment as people who have worked the same job for years and years. I won’t get into my politics here, but I’ve always found that if you want something in life, work hard for it. Pay your dues and earn it. With time, your effort will be rewarded. Don’t expect things to be handed to you right off the bat.

4. Be Ready for the Monday Morning Quarterback — I’ll just say this to make my point. In the NFL, fans look back after a week-end of games, and especially after their team loses, they dissect everything the team did, and then tell everyone within earshot what they would have done to win the game, even thought they have no qualifications to be a professional coach on the sideline of an NFL game. Be ready for the Monday morning quarterbacks. Some criticism will be earned, some will not, but be ready regardless.

3. Always Be Willing To Do More, But Know Your Limits — This one goes hand-in-hand with number 5, and is in the same vein as “paying your dues,” but it’s important enough to repeat. As time has gone on, and I’ve gotten married and had kids, priorities shift. More gets added to your plate, and I’ve always wel-comed the challenge best I can. Admittedly, I do wish I could do more, and often wish there were more hours in the day to get more done, but especially to any young reporters out there, put in the extra work. It will be noticed.

2. You Can’t Make Everyone Happy — I learned this one early on. No matter what you do, you will not make everyone happy. Don’t try, for that path leads to madness. Believe in your vision, and do the best you can. The rest will take care of itself. You will always have your critics. The sooner you come to peace with that, the better your life will be!

1. Be the Duck — Perhaps the most important lesson I’ve learned so far. When I first started (I couldn’t have been a reporter for more than two months at the time), I wrote a story about a contentious issue. I wrote the story on a deadline night, and had as much information I could at the time, with not a lot of time to get it in, and I had every intention of following up the next week. When the story came out, one of the featured people in the story rushed in and laid into me pretty hard about how they were portrayed in the story, shaking my confidence. I had never been yelled at that way about a story. When the person left, I asked my editor at the time, Bruce, about what I should do. He could tell I was upset by the encounter.

“Be the duck,” he said simply. Huh? What does that mean?

“In this line of work, you have to have thick skin, you have to let criticism like that roll off your back like water on a duck. Be the duck.”

To this day, that remains the most import-ant lesson I pass down to all my reporters. It’s like an inevitable hurtle that always comes up at some point when criticism comes their way. I enjoy now being the guy that can say, “Be the duck,” and getting that confused look before telling them the story and sounding wise beyond my years.

And there you have it, my top 10 list of things I’ve learned in my 10 years in journalism. Of course, there are countless other lessons that I’ve learned, but most of them are either too boring or too routine to go into here. Needless to say, I’ve learned a lot, and probably still have much to learn. Stay tuned.

Many people are find-ing that they no longer need the large home or number of possessions that they have accumu-lated. When children grow up and leave home, buying a condominium where someone else cuts the grass and clears away the snow may become more appealing.

Of course, there are many steps that you need to take when transition-ing from a home full of belongings to a smaller, more manageable space. There are also many options to consider when selling your per-sonal property.

The first step is to decide which items you want to keep, deter-mine if any will be distributed to family members and evaluate what is left to be sold. There are a number of factors that will influ-ence your decision. If you are moving to Florida you may want to leave all of the brown furniture behind. Rattan furniture with light colored fabrics will fit in better there. With the cost of ship-ping, it might be better to buy a furnished condo or purchase new items when you arrive at your new home.

When you have decided what will be sold you need to deter-mine how to sell it all. Quality and quantity both matter. If there are just a few valuable pieces like antiques, gold jewelry, Sterling silver, coins and important col-lections we advise people to sell them at auction. If you have a large amount of items that aren’t antique an estate sale may be a better option. Almost anything can be sold at an estate sale, from bath towels to cars. Sometimes both methods are used with bet-ter items being sold at auction and the rest being offered at an estate sale. An estate sale com-pany will have a minimum value where it is profitable for them to run your sale though. If you

only have a few items, you may want to run a tag sale yourself or donate them.

Pricing items at an estate sale is more com-plicated than you might think. If you price things too low, you lose potential profit. If you price things too high, you have a lot of disappointed people come through and find you are left with a home full of remaining items. Running another sale the following week won’t draw as many buyers if you overprice items. You really have

only one chance to do it right.Prices can vary greatly between

locations. We’ve run sales throughout Massachusetts and in other New England states. Items will command a higher price in some areas than in others. If you are running your own yard sale or donating only a few items it might not make a big difference but it can be significant with an entire estate. If you are unsure whether an items is valuable you should get it appraised. You don’t want to find your item in a news-paper article showing that some-one bought something at a yard sale for $5 that’s worth $50,000.

Five inexpensive

ways to lower your energy

bills?

I always suggest when someone purchases a home to get a free ener-gy audit if it is supplied by their energy provider.

Many natural gas and electric providers require you to pay a fee in your monthly bill that covers the costs of these programs. If this is available to you, then I would start with the free audit which may also include many of these fixes being done for free or at a fraction of the cost. If it is not available, then here are five quick and inexpensive ways to decrease your energy bills.

1) Caulk and seal air leaks. Buy a can of Great Stuff and seal all pene-trations into you home from:

• Plumbing• Electric• Recessed Lights• Windows• Crawlspaces• Attics2) Hire a HVAC contractor to seal

and insulate all ductwork (forced hot air system) or insulate all heat supply lines (steam or forced hot water systems).

3) Get a programmable thermo-stat and ensure that you actually program it since surveys show that almost half the people do not actual-ly program their thermostats.

4) Replace all your light bulbs with either CFL or LED bulbs.

5) Reduce the temperate on your hot water heater to 120 degrees which could save as much as 6-10 percent on your heating bills.

Along with a picture postcard land-scape, the New England winter brings with it an annual cold and flu season that can be as dreaded and brutal as a major nor’easter.

The flu season, which typically runs from December through March, affects one in five adults, who will contract the virus. By contrast, the average person will suffer two or four common colds this year, according to national statis-tics.

Whether you’re worried about catch-ing a cold or are fretting about the flu, there are alternatives to treating what ails you. From herbs and spices to baths and aromatherapy, the following infor-mation and strategies can be valuable weapons in the annual battle of the cold and flu bug.

***How Colds and Flu are Spread: Colds

are not caused by temperature or tem-perature changes. Despite what mother said, you can’t catch a cold by going out barefoot or without a hat! Cold and flu viruses are spread when an infected person releases germs in the air via coughing, sneezing and close contact. Cold and flu viruses can live for hours on surfaces such as telephones, desks, doorknobs, etc.

The flu is highly contagious as an infected person can spread flu germs a day before symptoms appear and can remain contagious for up to a week later. Studies show children with the flu virus can be contagious for over a week after onset. A person with a cold or flu is most contagious the first three days of infection, when the virus is most concentrated in nasal secretions. To pre-vent spreading the flu virus to co-work-ers and the public in general, the CDC recommends that people with flu stay

home for 24 hours after their fever breaks.

The single, most effective way to avoid contact with cold and flu viruses? Wash your hands. Wash them often and scrub with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds. If washing isn’t practical, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol and rub into your hands until dry.

***The following remedies are effec-

tive “first step” treatments to cold and flu. Symptoms that last more than a few days or become severe should be checked by a physician’

• A hot bath can be a powerful cold chaser and in Chinese medicine very hot baths are used to “sweat” out a cold at its earliest stages. To kick up the detox power of a bath, add a few drops of eucalyptus, rosemary or thyme essen-tial oils to the water.

Note: Check with your doctor before taking a hot bath if you are pregnant, diabetic, have heart disease or other complications.

• Giving colds a two step punch with a double dose of ginger and lemon can relieve cold and flu symptoms. Adding ginger and lemon to a hot cup of tea not only soothes the throat, but gingers antimicrobial properties and lemon’s vitamin C help fight the bug. To break up mucus, add a pinch of cayenne pep-per to the hot tea.

• Or try this recipe from Food Network to relieve cold and flu ailments: Combine in a mug: the juice of half a lemon, a quarter size piece of fresh ginger, two teaspoons of honey, and 3/4 cup of boil-

ing water. Allow to steep for at least three minutes. Add dark rum if desired.

• It’s true that chicken broth can offer cold and flu sufferers relief, but did you know it’s the “bone broth” from the homemade brew that provides much of the healing power? Broth made from boiling bones

offers magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus and other trace minerals that are easily absorbable not always readily available.

• Whether you like it hot or cold, a compress applied to sinuses can relieve congestion quickly. A freeze pack (or bag of frozen vegetables) works as a cold pack on the sinus area to decrease symp-toms. Or, heat up a wet facecloth in the microwave (not to hot) and apply across the bridge of the nose for similar relief.

• While there’s no cure for the com-mon cold some foods appear to reduce susceptibility to catching colds, or at least reduce the severity of the symp-toms. Foods containing beta-carotene, vitamin C, and zinc have shown to have immune repairing and boosting proper-ties. Research suggests that zinc (which is in many over the counter products to

prevent colds) can work to reduce the duration and severity of a cold. But it is only effective if it’s started early, at the very first signs of illness.

• “Take two squares of chocolate and call me the morning.” may seem an unlikely prescription for cough relief, but research reveals dark chocolate can curb your cough. The secret is thero-bromine, an ingredient in chocolate. According to medical studies, therobro-mine is nearly one third more effec-tive in halting persistent coughs than codeine. Dark chocolate typically con-tains about 450 mg of therobromine per ounce. Some experts suggest two ounces of dark chocolate every four hours as an effective anti cough dose for adults. Just be aware chocolate contains caffeine.

• Did you know you can reach into the refrigerator to clear congestion? Apple juice and purple grape juice both have properties to help clear congestion and a runny nose. As a bonus dark grape juice is rich in tannins, which have been known to kill viruses.

• Hot foods may be the weapon to bat-tling mucus. Studies show foods such as chili peppers, horseradish and gar-

ice tilts. An array of fish were caught like perch, pickerel and bass, but the catch of the day was a 39-inch, 16-pound north-ern pike taken on a jig stick pictured in this week’s photo. The unidentified angler took a few pictures of the huge fish, and quickly released it. Mass. Fish & Wildlife had stocked these northern pike many years ago and they did very well in Manchaug. This writer and many other anglers caught northern pike there for years. Unfortunately the Division abandoned the program stating that the success of the pike had little return rate at Manchaug. If they only knew! Anglers are hoping that the Division will reconsider the program and stock them in more than one

pond in coming years. Lake Manchaug would be a great start!

If I sound like I am repeating myself in reference to the pike program, I am! Anglers miss the great times catching these great game fish!

Although this writer rarely uses ice tilts for fishing, I did an awful lot of tilt fishing over my 70-plus years. The fishing regulations allowed an angler five tilts or four tilts and a jig stick. That regulation has been the same for more years than I can remember. After cutting numerous holes in the ice, the task of checking each hole for depth prior to fishing was the norm. Using a sounder (lead weight) to check the depth of water at each hole was import-ant as water depths changed at each hole. Placing a live shiner on the hook and lowering it

to a depth a few feet from the bottom on a couple of tilts, and placing the other baits at dif-ferent depths would provide a better coverage of feeding fish. As the fishing action picked up at one hole we would check the others and place them to the same depth as the active hole. We also would move tilts that had little or no action, by cutting new holes in different areas. Constantly checking idle fishing tilts, we would find that the shiner was missing and would attach a new one. In a very short time the fish would return and send the tilts flag waving in the air, signaling a bite. In today’s world anglers are using power bait to catch trout and are also using elec-tronics to locate fish.

If action was slow, constantly cutting holes and using a jig stick, schools of yellow perch

were located and the action could become fast. A feeding school of perch often attract-ed larger fish like bass and pickerel. Suddenly, the heavy weight of a larger fish was felt, and the drag on the reel was screaming as the line emptied from the spool. The excite-ment from the weight of the large fish on the light jig stick provided the ultimate fishing experience. Using a small grub as bait or a small piece of worm was enough to catch the first perch. Removing an eye from the perch and placing it on the hook of a Swedish pimple lure often had yellow perch coming through the hole every min-ute. More than a dozen yellow perch were caught at one hole but when the action slowed cut-ting a new hole only feet away had you back into the school of perch. Placing a small shiner

on the hook for bait often had you catching bass and pickerel.

The Whitinsville Fish & Game Club will hold their annual derby this Saturday at 8 a.m.! The Uxbridge Rod & Gun Club will hold their annual ice fishing derby this Saturday also for members only. Gift certificates for the largest trout caught will be awarded. The club will be holding a great breakfast for anyone to come and enjoy. The kitchen com-mittee, chaired by Wilhelm Huber, never sends a person away hungry.

The Singletary Rod & Gun Club will open their club pond to members this Sunday, Jan. 31, and will serve a full break-fast starting at 6 a.m.

AUBURN — On Monday night, Jan. 25, the Auburn High girls’ varsity bas-ketball team got one step closer to auto-matically qualifying for the Central Mass. Division 2 district tournament when they defeated Grafton High, 49-45. The win propelled the Rockets’ record

to 9-4, and 10-plus wins is what’s needed for inclusion into the postseason.

With the score deadlocked at 45-45 with 36 seconds to play, Hanna Harris (8 points) knocked down a foul line jump shot to give Auburn a two-point lead. Then, after the Indians missed a

3-pointer, Jess Clifford finished a layup down the other end of the court on an assist from Emily Sarkisian (18 points, 16 in the second half).

The Rockets have enjoyed a sev-en-game winning streak — and haven’t lost in 2016 — after starting the season

2-4. Their first chance at qualifying for the districts is Jan. 27 versus Wayland High — after press time — with anoth-er home opportunity Jan. 29 versus Oxford High at 7 p.m.

CHARLTON — The Blackstone Valley Tech boys’ varsity basketball team did the bulk of its work — both offensively and defen-sively — inside the paint, which worked wonders ver-sus Bay Path Regional on Friday night, Jan. 22. The Minutemen countered with eight made 3-pointers, but it wasn’t enough as the Beavers won the contest, 59-49.

“We win games on defense with steals and with the big guy cleaning up every-thing around the glass,” said Valley Tech head coach James Kahler.

The “big guy” is 6-foot-9 Antonio Sullo, who scored 14 points, pulled down 13 rebounds and swatted away 6 blocks, all in limited minutes because of foul trouble. The

Beavers won the rebounding battle, 42-35, mostly because of Sullo’s work.

But Sullo hit the bench early in the third quarter with his third foul, and Bay Path turned a 31-24 halftime deficit into a 38-37 advantage. The Minutemen’s Andrew Cotton scored a game-high 21 points on seven 3-point-ers, and two came just before halftime to give Bay Path some much-needed momen-tum. Another Cotton trey then accounted for the afore-mentioned 38-37 lead.

“During that stretch when we made that comeback I think they did a really good job of looking for each other, moving the basketball and finding the open man,” explained Bay Path head coach Al Greenough.

That open man happened to be Cotton.

“If he gets it going and given some room he can really put up some numbers quickly,” said Greenough of his 3-point prowess. “That was huge to get us back into the game.”

Kahler said that Bay Path’s strong shooting and Sullo’s foul trouble accounted for the losing of the lead.

“The way we run our zone is we hang [Sullo] out there and it extends, but we can’t do that when he’s not in the game and they buried four 3-pointers because of it,” he said.

Valley Tech respond-ed nicely, though, closing the quarter on a 10-0 run to lead, 47-38, entering the final frame.

“We responded with some high energy, got some quick steals for some easy buck-ets,” Kahler said. “It got us back up and going.”

The Beavers’ Allen Turner was the sparkplug during the run, as he scored 6 of his 14 points in the third quarter.

“I thought Allen Turner was excellent tonight,” Kahler said. “He was all over the place, on the floor [and] he does a good job attacking the hoop.”

The 10-0 run turned into a 16-0 spurt, bridged between the third and fourth quar-ters. That made the score 53-38 in BVT’s favor, which essentially sealed the deal.

“We usually have one quar-ter where we just let up a little bit, and that cost us,” Greenough said.

The Beavers are now 5-4 and will try mightily to finish 10-10 or better, which would qualify them for the Central Mass. Division 4 district tournament.

“You can beat anybody and anybody can beat you in the CAL,” Kahler said of play within the Colonial Athletic League and just how tough the second half of the regular season will be.

Bay Path, which dropped to 6-7, will face a similar strug-gle as they fight for .500 or better as well for inclusion into the same Central Mass. D4 district tournament.

“We’ve got to move for-ward, we’ve got seven games left,” Greenough said. “Pretty much every team we’re going to play is going to be a dis-trict basketball team, so it’s going to take some really good basketball over the last few weeks to get it done.”

For Greenough, the good basketball occurs when the Minutemen play a team-first philosophy.

“Our team is built on team play and the kids know it,” he said. “When they take their time, they move the ball around, they look for the open man, they play as a team [and] we’re a better offensive team. Sometimes when they try to do too much individually they play a lit-tle bit too fast. That really affects our offense. There are times when these guys look really, really good. For us, it’s just a matter of focus.”

Aside from Cotton’s 21 points, the scoring was bal-anced. No one else finished in double figures, as Joe Starr netted 9 points.

Bay Path students enjoying experimenting with robotics

robots and the software needed to program them. The human-oid robots will be used for all grade levels.

“It’s in line with all the STEM stuff, which is a really big push right now,” said Instructor Chris Hickman. “The idea of the science and engineer-ing. … My biggest thing for robotics is that we do a lot of programming on computers. We’re in this perfect environ-ment where the program will work day after day. Robots – there’s a lot of environmental factors that go into it, which there aren’t inside a computer when creating a video game or something like that. It’s a little more real world programming

for them, outside of a virtual environment in their comput-er.”

In other words, the robots help students see their pro-grams come to life in the real world. So far, the students have been just getting used to NAO. But they have already creat-ed some interesting programs, including different dances and face recognition.

“We’ve been playing around with how they work,” said senior Devon Hawley. “We’re trying to pick at everything they do and see what we can do with it. They’ll get more advanced in the future. We can put them in a soccer competi-tion, automated by themselves, where they don’t need a con-troller — they can solve every-thing on their own. My favor-ite part is people’s reaction to

seeing the robot do something new. We all made different pro-grams.”

Fellow senior Greg Lauzon has also enjoyed working with the robots and looks forward to continuing to work with robots in the future. The unpredict-ability and advanced technol-ogy involved in programming NAO is what has kept him interested.

“We’ve learned so many things,” he continued. “We can make them search for certain things. He came with a ball. We made it so the NAO would search for the red ball, via the color. Whenever it saw some-thing red it would follow it. We used its movements, trying to make it balance on one foot. He has 25 degrees of freedom – more mobility than a robot with two degrees. I just like

playing with the robots. You never know what’s going to happen. I tried to make him dance. It didn’t work out very well but it was fun seeing it try to run the program. It gets through more each time. I’m getting somewhere at least.”

Aside from being a fun way to explore programming skills, Hickman said he feels that introducing the students to robotics is very important.

Said Hickman: “There’s a lot of career opportunities for it. There’s a lot of college degree programs for robotics. One of the biggest thing is the mili-tary, which is huge in robot-ics. When we originally start-ed doing research, we read that Google bought 15 robot-ics companies in one year. Massachusetts is one of the big-gest robotics industries in the

country. It also gets students up out of their seats, too, which is big. We spend a lot of time in shop in front of a computer. It’s nice to have a different envi-ronment for them.”

Bay Path currently has an after-school robotics program where students create robots that compete in a national Battle Bots competition. With the introduction of the three NAO robots, Hickman is hop-ing that a few students will get involved and take humanoid robots to the same level, com-peting in autonomous robot competitions next year.

Students honored for completing month-long novel project

the flexibility of the proj-ect and where it took them in their writing journeys.

“In school, we have set assignments, where we have a topic and have to write about that. But for this, I could go whatev-er direction I wanted to, and I got to take control over what I was writing,” said eighth grader Jess Barrell, who was inspired to write her story by her grandfather and his ser-vice in two wars.

Added eighth grader Trevor Callahan, “My favorite part about writ-ing a novel was meet-ing the characters and watching them jump to life. Most of the charac-ters I made were also based on people around me and even family mem-bers.”

For AMS teachers, it

was a thrill to see the stu-dents explore their pas-sion for writing through a challenging and engag-ing project. Their hope is for the students to use this experience to hone their skills as they pre-pare to enter high school.

“We wanted writing to have a very powerful presence in their lives, and the goal now is to continue supporting them as they move on to editing,” said AMS teach-er Erika Bushe.

Special Olympics ‘a great community event’

confidence and build positive self-im-ages at Special Olympics events, which they in turn take with them into their homes, classrooms, jobs, and commu-nities.

For the seventh year, Auburn will host the Special Olympics Massachusetts basketball event at AHS. Several town officials come together each year to make the event a success, including Superintendent of Schools Maryellen Brunelle and Town Manager Julie Jacobson. It requires strong collabora-tion over many months to provide the

best experience possible to participants, and Auburn officials are always up for the challenge.

Last year, the Auburn Webster Lodge of Elks served over 500 hot lunches on both days to the athletes, coaches and volunteers. Additionally, the opening ceremony included Auburn Post 279, as well as Sen. Michael Moore and State Rep. Paul Frost as guest speakers.

This year’s event will likely be just as impressive, with involvement from students and scouting groups expect-ed, as well as appearances from local and regional leaders. The event also includes a craft fair that always fea-tures an impressive turnout of crafters and vendors. Many of them represent

local organizations providing informa-tion or support services to people with disabilities.

“The Special Olympics is a wonderful event that we are honored and thrilled to host again this year,” Jacobson said. “It is a great community event, and the craft fair is held at the same time, providing an opportunity for attendees to browse and shop in between games.”

For many of the athletes, the event will be one of their first experiences competing on a team in a game envi-ronment. The smiles that light up their faces each year make every minute of preparation well worth it for organiz-ers.

The event will also include a bowling

component at AMF Bowling. For more information about the program, or to register for a table at the craft fair, call 508-832-7736. You can also send an email to [email protected].

Established in 1971, Special Olympics Massachusetts gives more than 13,000 athletes a chance to play each year at dozens of events across the state. For more information about the organiza-tion and its programs, visit www.spe-cialolympicsma.org.

Seventh and eighth grad-ers at Auburn Middle School recently completed novels in a single month.

College courses giving Bay Path students early advantage

the courses, letting Bay Path staff know that there was definitely a desire to take the college courses, despite being after-school and a bit tougher than high school-level courses on the subject mat-ters.

Every student who took the cours-es passed, earning their college credit. Many of the students did “very well.” Some students who enrolled in the col-

lege course withdrew after finding out it wasn’t for them, a choice that Cormier also respected.

“It’s outstanding that they want to challenge themselves,” she continued. “That’s to their credit. It’s a great head start for college and also saves their families some money. It also helps many students see if they are interested in college. As a vocational student, they have a vast amount of options after graduation.”

Because of the high demand, Bay Path offered more than twice the amount of

courses this year. All of the courses had more than enough students interested in taking them.

To take the course, students must take the Accuplacer Test, which was held on Dec. 15. The test helped staff find out if the students were at a level that qualified them for the courses. The staff also looked into the students’ over-all grades at Bay Path, their attendance and discipline records, as well as taking teacher recommendations into consid-eration.

The three QCC courses were com-

pletely free to families, the only cost being the textbooks. The free three col-lege credits save money down the road. The AeroVenture aviation course was also “considerably reduced.” Students interested in the course also received a $200 scholarship towards the course from the Bay Path Foundation.

lic help reduce congestion by driving out mucus. How? The same agent that induces tears also helps thin out excess mucus.

• Coughs and congestion is uncomfort-able, but relief can be as close as your water bottle. Keep hydrated by drinking at least 64 ounces of water a day. Water is the best expectorant, and will help thin the mucus and loosen the cough.

• A salt gargle is a simple solution that can bring temporary relief from a sore throat. Simply dilute a half a teaspoon of salt an eight ounce glass of warm water. Gargle four times daily.

Mom in MotionBY JILL ROUSEY

If someone told me they forgot to eat a meal I would have laughed and told them they were insane. Who forgets to eat? I sure never did. But as a working mom… I have quite literally forgotten to eat. However, just because I missed a meal does not mean I forgot how much I love food. Every person has their vice. For me, it is food. I am not even one who craves sugars, sweets, candy, cakes, etc. I quite literally crave the good stuff. I crave savory roasted vegetables, succu-lent steamed shellfish, lightly seasoned rare meat when the juices flow out in that first cut after coming off the grill, fresh sushi, perfectly aged sharp cheese paired with a beautiful dry wine…

We tend to think that if we want to lose weight and be healthy we have to compromise flavor and eat like a bird. Today we will discuss meal planning. First, find a method that works for you and keep it simple. For me, I am not a morning eater. I want my coffee and I am good until lunch. But by lunch I’m hungry and looking for something quick. Quick usually turns to carb over load. If you are like me and you know that convenience becomes a dirty

habit try to plan ahead. I have taken those snack size baggies and filled them up with healthy perfect portion sized snacks. It takes about 20 minutes to pre-pare and make things much easier the rest of the week (especially if you have kids!). I have little bags of pretzels, rai-sins, almonds, crackers, peanuts, etc… and in the refrigerator I keep easily accessible snacks right at eye level and the dairy drawer I keep yogurts and cheese sticks. Right below that I have baby carrots ready to grab and go. And in the fruit drawer I keep clementines, apples, and anything else that we have that week. If you get to the point of look-ing for something before you starve to death you now have a few choices to nosh on while you prepare something a bit healthier.

Another thing to consider is planning your weeks meals ahead of time. This way you aren’t turning to the take out menu when you get home and real-ize not only do you not have anything planned, but you are too tired to cook. Planning ahead of time is eliminating the chance to fail.

While grocery shopping try to stay

towards the perimeter of the store. This tends to be where the freshest foods are. The dairy, produce, meats, fish, fresh breads, etc. The center aisles and end-caps are where the boxed and canned items are. Many of these items are full of sugar, sodium, and tons of preserva-tives. You can’t go wrong eating fresh and clean.

As always, take what you want from what we discuss as advice or informa-tion, share with me your favorite tip or recipe and join me on our next edition of “Mom in Motion”.

This weeks recipe:

3 INGREDIENT COOKIES!

1 c nut butter of your choice (my kids like the classic peanut butter

1 c sweetener of your choice (the orig-inal was 1 c sugar, but I have actually modified it down to 1/2 c coconut sugar then added in a touch of vanilla extract)

1 eggOptional add in; nuts, dried fruit, oat-

meal, protein powder, etc. (play around with the recipe until you find a combi-

nation that works for you)Roll into balls and bake at 350 for

about 10 minutes (give or take)

THIS WEEK’S TIP:

Have you worked hard on a soup or sauce only to taste it and realize you added too much salt? Peel a potato and put it in the stock. By the time the pota-to starts to cook and release starch take it out and throw it away. It will have absorbed a fair amount of that extra salt.

ADVICE FROM A PRO:

“Challenge yourself to try something new every week.”

-Weight loss nutritionist-With this, I challenge you, my loyal

readers, to go to the grocery store and buy one new fruit or vegetable each week. You may be surprised what you end up liking and adding into your reg-ular meal planning.

(NAPS)Many Americans think they need to worry about skin protection only when they

are outside. However, according to the International Window Film Association (IWFA), the harmful UV rays that people are concerned about while outdoors can also penetrate into homes, with the possibility of causing damage.

Typical windows block as little as 25 percent of UV rays which, if left unchecked, can cause extensive damage to the skin, including premature aging, wrinkles and even skin cancer. Additionally, the UV rays may accelerate the fading of furniture, flooring and other décor.

Fortunately, professionally installed window film may act as a powerful defense against these problems, by blocking up to 99 percent of the UV rays.

Installing window film can also have a positive affect on energy costs, because it can help regulate room temperatures, thus lowering energy bills during warm and, in some cases, even cold weather.

“Thousands of highly-trained dealers and installers across the United States stand ready to help consumers achieve a safer, more comfortable and energy effi-cient home,” said Darrell Smith, Executive Director of the IWFA. You can learn more at www.iwfa.com.

Window Film— A Powerful Defense For Homeowners

Protect yourself from harmful UV rays while indoors by installing window film.

(NAPS)

Every year in the U.S., FEMA reports, about 100 disas-ters, natural and man-made, occur—but there are steps you can take to protect your family and finances if any ever occurs to you.

These seven hints can help:

BEFORE A DISASTER

1. Develop a family com-munications plan. Everyone should know whom to reach and how.

2. Make an emergency kit. It should include enough food, water and other supplies to last at least 72 hours. Pack a flashlight, battery-operated radio and enough batteries for both. Include a supply of any medications you take. Have cash on hand.

3. Sign up for emergen-cy alerts with the weather ser-vice.

AFTER A DISASTER

4. If you’ve been evacuat-ed from your home, inspect it before re-entering. Walk care-fully around the outside and check for loose power lines, gas leaks and structural damage.

5. Do not enter if:• You smell gas.• Floodwaters remain

around the building.• Your home was dam-

aged by fire and the authorities have not declared it safe.

6. Watch out for animals, especially poisonous snakes. Use a stick to poke through debris.

7. One silver lining is that damage, destruction or loss of your property resulting from such events that insur-ance doesn’t pay for may be deductible on your tax return.

The experts at the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA) suggest you photo-graph and inventory any prop-erty damage. “It is very import-

ant that people take pictures or videos and do a complete inven-tory of damage before the mess gets cleaned up,” explained EA Trish Evenstad. “My expe-rience tells me that after the cleanup process has begun, people do not remember what they threw away.” To help, she says, there’s IRS Publication 584, “Casualty, Disaster, and Theft Loss Workbook,” avail-able at www.irs.gov and (800) 829-3676. It’s useful for taking a room-by-room damage inven-tory.

Enrolled agents are America’s tax experts, licensed by the federal government to represent taxpayers before the IRS. EAs provide tax prepa-ration, tax advice and tax plan-ning services and help taxpay-ers resolve problems with the IRS.

Evenstad points out that all claims for damage must first be submitted to your insurance carrier, and that you have to reduce your loss by $100.

Tax deductions for build-ings with structural damage require a qualified appraisal and records of the repairs to restore the building to its pre-vious condition.
