AMS DEBT EXCLUSION OK’D BY WIDE MARGIN BY DAVID DORE STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER AUBURN — Voters in the May 21 Annual Town Election decided there should be a new face on the Housing Authority, but not on the Board of Selectmen, and they were willing to pay more in property taxes over the next two decades for a new middle school. Wayne C. Page — who’s on the Council on Aging, Zoning Board of Appeals and School Committee — added another board to his résumé by beating Housing Authority Chairman Betty Bacinskas 1,053-910 in the May 21 Annual Town Election. And Stephen Simonian fought back a challenge by Thomas Dombroski, 1,047- 944, to earn his second three- year term on the Board of Selectmen. Simonian’s 103- vote margin of victory was coincidentally the same as the number of voters who did not cast a ballot for any- one in that race. Simonian said during the campaign that if re-elected, he would like to continue the board’s work over the last three years and contin- ue to foster what he feels is a positive environment in which businesses can thrive. A 20-year debt exclusion for a new Auburn Middle School earned a resounding 1,344-723 victory, two weeks to the day after Town Meeting members voted 82-4 to endorse it. The Massachusetts School Building Authority will pay 58.61 percent of eligible costs for the $44.5 million school, which will be built on West Street. Construction would start this fall, and the school would open in the fall of 2015.

BY BENJAMIN R. KIPPSPORTS CORRESPONDENT

THOMPSON, Conn. — TheMarianapolis Prep baseball teamfinished with a record of 12-4 forthe second straight year, whichwas good enough to win theSoutheastern New EnglandIndependent Prep League (SENE)championship, also for the secondconsecutive season.

“We had a good enough record tomake it to the playoffs and win,”said second year head coach DaveAustin. “Overall the kids do a real-ly nice job and we have a good rela-tionship between the team and thecoach. I really think they surpriseme more than them surprisingthemselves. We’ve never reallydone this in program history.”

The Golden Knights playedWilliams in the semifinals, win-

ning 11-5 with Griffen Kelly on themound, and in the final againstProvidence Country DayMarianapolis came away with a 3-0 win with Andrew Gemme get-ting the win.

Austin carried three pitchersthat were the most consistent.Gemme finished the season with a5-0 record, Rob Puszka finished 3-0and Kelly went 3-2.

“That’s the way we came in,”

said Austin. “Our slated No. 2pitcher was out of commissionbecause of an injury so we had tomix up the pitching staff a littlebit.”

During the regular season theGolden Knights played other prepschools like St. Thomas Moore,Williams, Bancroft, Naval Prep,Portsmith Abbey, WorcesterAcademy, Brimmer and May, andProvidence Country Day, along

with the Pomfret School.“We played a team called

Chase Collegiate and they’reusually playing for a prepschool championships and webeat them 10-0,” said Austin.“We played a harder schedulethan last year and next yearwe’ll do the same.”

Hailing from Auburn, jun-ior Eric Goudreau wasassigned the catcher positionbecause Austin didn’t haveanyone with experience to putthere.

“He did a nice job behindthe plate,” said Austin. “He hitin the high .300s and led theteam in runs batted in.”

Jeremiah Knite was Austin’smost versatile player.

“I could put him anywhere,”Austin said. “He played both mid-dle infield positions and he playedsome outfield positions for us aswell. He even pitched for us a cou-ple of times and he did a reallynice job for us no matter where Iput him.”

Austin’s goal is to continue tobring the baseball program to ahigh level. The recent new base-ball field, coupled with the school’sefforts to support the team, hasAustin committed to grow the pro-gram.

“We just want to get better andwe want to bring it to a higherlevel and I feel we can do that. Ithink we’re just a couple of play-ers away,” he said. “I’m verypleased with the team and I’mpleased with the program and theattitude of the kids and the admin-istration.”

The Golden Knights are expect-ed to go to Florida next year for aspring training like practice.

‘Shoe Week Challenge’ tofoster school competition

wide, including victims of last week’s tornado in Moore,Okla.

His goal of collecting 200,000 pairs would top the120,000 he collected during his first shoe drive in 2009,which earned him the status of the local “shoe man.”

But it’s not all about numbers to Diaz, who said thathis ultimate goal of helping the needy and inspiring oth-ers to do the same is met every time someone drops offa pair of kicks.

“It is a free way to give back that proves you don’t needmoney to help people in need. Giving back can be easyas cleaning out your closet,” he said. “One pair, threepairs, or three hundred – it’s all the same. You are mak-ing a difference in someone’s life.”

Diaz, who originally hails from Puerto Rico, knowspersonally how important just one pair of shoes can be.Growing up in poverty, that’s all he had.

But today, Diaz co-owns four businesses, a home inCharlton, sits on the Auburn Youth and Family ServicesBoard of Directors, and recently cleared more than 20pairs of shoes out of his closet.

“When you have so much, it makes you say, ‘Now Ineed to give something back,’” he said.

Diaz has found that the local community has beenextremely supportive of his efforts, donating so manyshoes in just a few months that a trailer stocked with15,000 pairs was already shipped off to the Soles4Soulsheadquarters in Tennessee. Many of the donations havecome in bulk from organizations like churches, localbusinesses, and especially schools.

Students in Southbridge, Sturbridge, Webster,Douglas, Leicester, and Oxford have held their own FeetNeed Shoes drives and collected thousands of pairs thisschool year.

Diaz is hoping that the “Show Week Challenge” willhelp tap the resources schools offer before they let outfor summer vacation.

“Imagine if everyone at every school donated just onepair of shoes. That would be some serious numbers,” hesaid.

Area schools interested in taking in the “Shoe WeekChallenge” should contact Diaz at (508) 721-9600 or byemail at [email protected] before the June 10start.

The winning district/school will receive a donationthat can be used for anything they choose – school sup-plies, teaching materials or even a pizza party.

But, of course, the chance to give extends beyondschools and the “Shoe Week Challenge.” If you have apair of new or used shoes in any style or size that youwould like to donate, you can drop them off at the UPSStore at 482 Southbridge St. in Auburn, or the other UPSStore locations in Holden, Westborough or Worcester.Charlton’s St. Joseph’s Church and the Worcester PublicSchools also have ongoing collections.

Amanda Collins may be reached at (508) 909-4132 or byemail at [email protected].

Striper fever his hit more than a fewanglers this year — and there is no real curefor the disease, except for the infectedangler to go fishing!

The symptoms will be less severe aftercatching a few of these hard-fighting fishthat have inundated local saltwater beachesand tributaries. The Cape has already seen avery heavy concentration of stripers mov-ing thru the areas chasing baitfish as theytry to put on weight from their annualmigration to Massachusetts and RhodeIsland. Already, reports of a 50-poundstriper being caught on the Cape last weekis a sure sign that the fish are in strong. Onelocal angler fishing for stripers on the Capereported super action using wire and bucktails while fishing from his boat this pastweek. Tautog and scup are also hitting well.

Fluke fishing in Rhode Island waters hadpicked up considerably last week accordingto Al Conti at the Snug Harbor Marina inRhode Island. Numerous fluke in the 6-pound range are being caught daily in areasaround Block Island and the costal waters

in and around the Charlestown breachway.The action should only get better in thecoming days and weeks.

The Massachusetts wild turkey seasonends Saturday, May 25 in Zones 1-13. In talk-ing with many turkey hunters in the Valleyit seems as though it had been a great sea-son overall with many 20-pound-plus birdsbeing harvested. One local sportsman cameacross an accident on Route 146 this pastweek that involved a large wild turkey fly-ing into the path of the car. Injuries to theoccupants was unknown but the hugeturkey was killed and caused severe frontend damage to the grill and fenders.

Local residents should be warned aboutthe dangers of the snapping turtles breed-ing season. In a matter of days and weekslarge snapping turtles will leave the pondsand rivers to lay there eggs along the river-banks. They could be observed crossingparking lots and venturing into back yardsclose to river and streams bringing theminto contact with young children. It wouldbe wise to caution your children about the

hazards of coming in close contact withthem.

As mentioned in last week’s column aboutthe new born white tail deer and the obsta-cles they face to survive their first fewweeks of their life. Well-meaning residentsoften come across the young deer in fields orsmall woodlots and think that they havebeen abandoned by their mother. It is best toleave the area and allow the mother of theyoung deer to return to nurse and take care

of her newborn. Interfering with the youngdeer’s normal survival skills could put theanimal at serious risk. This goes for allwildlife. They are all best left to survive ontheir own.

Last week’s column made an error withWalter Podles’ son’s first name. His firstname is Joe. Sorry for the error!

Take a kid fishing and keep them rodsbending!

Anglers catching ‘striper fever’ in the Valley

Courtesy photos

Steve Mercure, of Uxbridge, boated a pair of nicestripers while fishing with this writer last week, asthis week’s pictures show. Both fish were caughtusing live porgies that are extremely abundant inthe Providence River at this time of year. Theywere the only two fish caught last Friday with thiswriter coming up short to land a single striper. Iwarned Steve that if he pulls this type of shenani-gans on my boat again he might be replaced by anelderly angler. Out-fishing this writer on my ownboat will not be tolerated! He would not have land-ed the fish except for my great netting job.

This past weekend, the junior members of the Uxbridge Rod & Gun Club enjoyed some great fishing atthe club pond. A full breakfast was served and numerous fish were caught as this week’s photo showsNolan Lancaster and his friend’s stringer of rainbow trout. The club pond is now open to all membersto fish with numerous lunker rainbow fish yet to be caught.

Avoiding an unhappy promEditor’s Note: Please be advised that some

of the photos included in this spread may bedeemed graphic by some. Remember: Thesedepictions were staged by Bay Path and thelocal authorities to remind students about theconsequences of drinking and driving. Forthe story, turn to page A1. From all of us here

at Stonebridge Press, we wish every student asafe prom season.

CHARLTON — Bay Path RegionalVocational Technical High School juniorsand seniors got what many people hope is awake-up call Thursday morning, May 16.

The reality was brilliantly sunlit and

warm. The fiction portrayed the death ofone of their classmates, serious injuries tothree others and the eventual conviction ofa fifth for vehicular homicide due to drunk-en and distracted driving after a couple ofprom parties.

And through it all, the students got to seea realistic display of the Charlton Fire andPolice Departments in action on their foot-ball field, even including the arrival and

departure of a Life Flight helicopter and ahearse.

Welcome to the biennial Safe Prom, a col-laboration between those departments, theDistrict Attorney’s office, and the school’sStudents Against Destructive Decisionschapter aimed at warning them to play itsafe with prom night (which was Friday,May 17) and other celebratory events in thenear future.

“Why are they breaking my car?” Police ChiefJames Pervier holds back “drunk driver” JeffCutrona, of Southbridge, as firefighters use theJaws of Life to cut open “his” car.

Even with the new tools, cutting apart a car takes a while.

INVITING NEW PATIENTS

Monica Rao, D.M.D.We cater to cowards

‘Thank you’ for supporting AMS projectThank you! Merci! Gracias! DankeschŒn!

Obrigado! Asante!Regardless of the language, the message

is the same.On behalf of the students of Auburn, as

the proud — and immensely appreciative —superintendent of the Auburn PublicSchools, I thank the voters of Auburn fortheir approval of the new Auburn MiddleSchool.

Please know that, just as has been the caseto date, the School Building Committee willcontinue to oversee this project, the endresult being a state-of-the-art educationalfacility in which our middle school studentswill be able to learn, work, grow and thrivefor decades to come. Again, I extend mymost respectful thank you for your support!

The approval of the new Auburn MiddleSchool building project was realized bymany individuals making a commitment towork together toward achieving a goal. AsVince Lombardi said, “Individual commit-ment to a group effort – that is what makesa team work, a company work, a societywork, a civilization work.” And by exten-

sion, I would offer thatindividual commitmentto a group effort is whatmakes a district work,and even flourish.

Recently, several APSprograms and events havehighlighted how individu-als working togetherresulted in successesbeing realized, each evi-dence of the district’scommitment to educational excellence thatis embraced by us all. While there weremany, I share three here as each featuredsome of our students’ successes, an oppor-tunity I relish publicizing whenever possi-ble. They are, after all, the most importantachievements that occur, those earned byour students as a result of their focus, com-mitment, hard work and teamwork.

Most recently, the National Honor SocietyInduction Ceremony held on May 23 fea-tured the selected AHS students whose com-mitment to the four ideals of the NationalHonor Society program – Leadership,Scholarship, Service and Character –earned them an invitation to be part of thisprestigious, nationally-recognized organiza-tion. The outgoing officers — PresidentOlivia Elsaid; Vice President Erin Scanlon;Treasurer Samantha Clougherty; andSecretary Maria Coughlin — led the currentNHS members in welcoming the newinductees during this formal ceremony thatincluded the lighting of candles from thecenter “knowledge” candle to those repre-senting NHS’ four ideals. Congratulations toall inductees, as well as to those who arealready a part of NHS, as your membershipsignifies your commitment to your studies,your school and to being the best person youcan be.

The week before, I had the great fortune toattend Auburn Middle School’s version ofthe play, “Grease,” which was performed onFriday and Saturday evenings, May 17 and18, in the Auditorium of Auburn HighSchool. I attended with two of my nephews,Ben and Ryan, and we all agreed that fromstart to finish, costumes to playbill, lighting

to scenery, actors andactresses to directors andmusical accompaniment,this was a top-notch event!The Auburn MiddleSchool’s young boys andgirls were outstanding,their expertise a result oftheir commitment to count-less hours of rehearsals,memorizing lines, practic-ing their singing and danc-

ing, and getting everything “just so.”Congratulations to Director Karin Graves,AMS Guidance Counselor, and all of themany people who worked behind the scenesto make this event the tremendous successit was!

Finally, but most certainly equally asimpressive, the District’s Festival of theArts and Technology was held on May 9,this time featuring our students’ musical,artistic, physical and technological talents.This outstanding festival highlighted ourDistrict’s commitment to the arts and tech-nology, all critical components of a well-rounded education in which our studentsare challenged and supported to shine.Students and their families meanderedabout with the level of engagement andexcitement truly palpable…a wonderfulevent indeed! Congratulations are extendedto all Auburn faculty who participated inthis event, including their efforts behind thescenes in the many months of planning andorganization that ensured its ultimate suc-cess, as well as to the students whose out-standing work was on display. It was trulymagnificent!

In closing, I encourage us all to continueto support one another and work togethertoward common goals. As evidenced by theaforementioned, when we do, the sky is thelimit!

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

FRANK G.CHILINSKI

STONEBRIDGE PRESS

PRESIDENT AND PUBLISHER

ADAM MINOREDITOR

Dear Class of 2013: We are sorry toreport that – once again – our invita-tion to speak at your graduation send-off has been either lost in the mail orotherwise misplaced.

This is why we cannot attend yourspecial day (or evening) of celebrationas expected. Nevertheless, we herebyoffer some of what we would haveshared with you by way of wisdom,insight, and encouragement. It’s allyours for consideration.

First of all, know that when we our-selves were “commencing” (a genera-tion or two ago), we were in the midstof turbulent times. We were advised,urged, and ordered to “trust no oneover 30” and “tune in, turn on, dropout.” We have found these things, ulti-mately, to be stupid, unwise, anduntrue. The insights we hereby pro-vide, on the other hand, come from awealth of reliable sources – prophets,seers, revelators, stand-up comedians,country songs, grandparents, roadsigns, experience. We have not“stolen” or plagiarized these wonder-

ful things, but wewant you to knowthat along with thewisdom of agecomes the forgetful-ness of accurateattribution.

So … always …(no, wait!) … never… (no, wait!) ... wecan’t rememberthem all, but weknow there are cer-tain truths andabsolutes to guideyou through yourlife. Find them. Putthem to the test.Make them yours.

Live them.And learn to live happily. Know that

the most important things you willever do will be within the walls ofyour own home. Similarly, k now thatno other successes in life can compen-sate for failure in the home.Meanwhile, in your spare time, besure to afflict the comfortable, butalso make time to comfort the afflict-ed. Judge not, lest ye be judged. Reachout and touch somebody’s hand. Makethis world a better place, if you can.

There’s a well-known, well-lovedbook called “Eat, Pray, Love.” We’venever read it, nor seen the movie, butwe believe you’ll want (and need) todo all these things. So eat wisely,rather than too well. Pray as if every-thing depended on God, but act as ifeverything depended on you. Lovegenerously, charitably, rather thanselfishly.

Don’t sweat the petty things, anddon’t pet the sweaty things. To all youyoung men: Pull up your pants, putyour hat on straight. Know that free-dom isn’t free and that you’re enjoy-ing – living on – the sacrifices ofcountless others who have gonebefore you. Consider that ThomasJefferson studied Latin, Greek, andFrench at the age of nine. He wrotethe Declaration of Independence at33. He was elected third president at57. He noted somewhere in there,before dying on the Fourth of July onthe 50th anniversary of the signing ofthe Declaration, that “democracy willcease to exist when you take awayfrom those who are willing to workand give to those who would not.”So get out there and work. Do yourpart. Learn your duties and responsi-bilities. Honor your father and moth-er. Pray that your children do thesame. In fact, teach your childrenwell. Feed them on your dreams. Andknow they love you.

Whatever you do, don’t waste yourtime. You’ll never get it back. Seize theday. Seek after those things that arevirtuous, lovely, or of good report, orpraiseworthy. Know that an awful lotcan be accomplished in just a singleday – as long as that day isn’t tomor-row. Don’t pray to avoid annoyances,but for the grit to turn them intopearls. Don’t pray for freedom fromhardships, but for the courage andstrength to endure them.

Be careful what you wish for (youmay just get it!), but keep wishing for,and working toward, worthy goalsand dreams. Adopt GrandmotherAshton’s favorite words to live by:“Trust in the Lord with all thine heartand lean not unto thine own under-standing; acknowledge Him in all thyways and He will direct thy paths.”Understand that knowledge is know-ing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom isnot putting it into a fruit salad.

Remember that the world owes younothing. Remember that love is notsomething you fall into, but some-thing that you do. Love one another.Smile (it makes people wonder whatyou’ve been up to)! Accept responsi-bility. Whenever you get the chance tosit it out or dance, dance! Live untilyou die.

Learn from your mistakes. Be hum-ble (before you have to be humbled).To have a friend, be a friend. Cherishfriendship. Waste not, want not. Prayevery day to be the answer to someoneelse’s prayers. Discover your talents.Put them to good use – and to use forgood. Touch other lives for the better.

Celebrate the day you’ve beengiven. Every day. Give thanks in allthings. Go forth (but aim for first). Get’er done! Commence.

Commence!

The soundsof silence

I’ll never forget my one and only trip toArlington National Cemetery almost exact-ly 16 years ago to the day.

It’s not even a story of something thathappened there in particular, but it’s thefeeling I got while I was there that I’dalways remember.

It was my eighth grade class trip. Myclass had spent all year fundraising, andwe were finally there, after an eight-hourdrive (which is a lot for a 13-year-old boy),in the nation’s capital, sight seeing, learn-ing and soaking it all in.

It was my first time in Washington, D.C.,and I couldn’t wait to see all the monu-ments, and yes, the museums (what can Isay, I was a bit of a bookworm!). But it wasthe trip to Arlington Cemetery thatremains burned in my memory the clear-est.

It was the rows upon rows of whitegravestones that stood out in the freshly

cut grass,like perfectlyo r g a n i z e dd o m i n o e s .The cloudlesssky, if I recallc o r r e c t l y,revealed thesun in itsfullest glory,m a k i n g

everything seem bright and crisp. It wasspringtime, so everything was in full bloomand color.

Walking in, I was amazed by the size of itall. Each gravestone marked the final rest-ing place of a United States veteran. Somany willing to die for my freedom, and somany that paid that price…

I would later learn that ArlingtonNational Cemetery is the final restingplace for more than 14,000 veterans, but itended up not even being the sight of it allthat made it memorable.

It was the sound. More accurately, it wasthe lack thereof.

I remember being told by my teacher, orchaperone, or some adult who was incharge, to “be respectful.” So, for quite awhile, I zipped my lip, which is quite diffi-cult for a 13-year-old boy hanging out withhis friends. But looking back, I don’t thinkany adult had to tell us to be respectful,because the place commanded its ownrespect. We silently made our way throughthe cemetery on our tour, visiting the graveof President John F. Kennedy, and count-less other graves, learning about the histo-ry and taking it all in. Through it all, mygroup spoke barely a word. It was as if theenormity of the place had a hold on me.The tour was dominated by a respectfulsilence.

One had no choice but to show respect.And it is with this same sense of rever-

ence that I aim to approach this MemorialDay.

It’s so easy to go through the motions.Slap on that American flag T-shirt, fire upthat grill, and have a grand old time! Nodoubt, I’ll probably attend a barbeque ortwo, but we should try to take some time toremember those that paid the ultimateprice to protect our freedoms — our free-dom to wear our flag T-shirts, our freedomto fire p that grill, and yes, our freedom tohost and attend barbeques. It soundsabsurd, but people from some countriescan’t count themselves that lucky.

This Memorial Day, I thank those veter-ans still with us for their service. I willattend my town’s parade, I will sing “TheStar Spangled Banner” and I will say thankyou to my friends in the military, and I pub-licly thank you, my readers, who may haveserved or are still serving.

This Memorial Day, I will take a momentto be silent — just like I was 16 years agostanding in the middle of Arlington nation-al Cemetery — to pray for those servingand pay respect for those who have gonebefore me.

Even 16 years later, I remember the feel-ing of being in the presence of great sacri-fice, thousands of graves surrounding me,reminding me of the constant price we, asa country, pay for our freedom.

This Memorial Day, I remember that feel-ing, and I’ll never forget it.

To the Editor:On behalf of the Auburn Youth and Family

Services Board of Directors, staff, and mostespecially the children and families we serve,we wish to thank the United States PostalWorkers and residents of Auburn who partic-ipated in the May 11 Postal Worker’s FoodDrive.

The AYFS Food Pantry received a largeallotment of food. The shelves are stocked andwe have a hefty supply of food for the upcom-ing months when the children are out ofschool and are eating more meals at home.

I am awed by the hard work and dedicationof the letter carriers of Auburn. These menand women picked up the food along theirroutes, boxed it and loaded it into their trucks

only to turn around, deliver and unload thefood at AYFS.

A very special thank you to Mr. NormanLaFlash, who organized the drive, and to allthe hardworking Auburn postal workers. We’dalso like to acknowledge a group of studentsfrom Saint John’s High School who came tovolunteer — James Haddad, John Haddad,Gretchen Saba and Patric Saba.

Auburn’s children and families are deeplygrateful for all you have done to help put foodon their tables. These families are trulyblessed to have your caring and love.

SALLY D. D’ARCANGELOEXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

D’Arcangelo: Thanks to postal workers for food drive

My effort to answer readers’ questions willhave to wait until my next column due tointerest in the recent sale of a 5-cent coin formore than $3 million.

That’s right — a price tag with a “3” fol-lowed by SIX ZEROES.

Since my last column, a number of folkshave asked me to explain how a coin with aface value of 5 cents could sell for that muchmoney. So here’s the story…

The Indian Head nickel (known as theBuffalo nickel) was introduced in 1913. TheLiberty Head nickel (known as the “LibertyV” nickel), which was first minted in 1883, wasto have ended in 1912.

However, by means unknown to this day, five1913 dated Liberty V nickels were made at thePhiladelphia mint. The mint has no record of

any 1913 Liberty V nickelsbeing minted.

However, in 1919, oneSamuel Brown advertisedthat he would pay $500 for asingle example of therumored-to-exist 1913Liberty V nickels. There isno record of his ever havingbought one. But, in 1920, hemade it known that he hadfive examples, implying thathe had bought them as aresult of his advertisement.Here’s the kicker — in 1913,Brown was an employee ofthe Philadelphia mint.Many numismatic histori-ans conclude that he eithermade them himself or had

someone at the mint make them for him. Theybelieve his “ads” were a smoke screen. Notednumismatic author and historian, Q. DavidBowers, says it is possible that the coins mayhave been trial strikes to test new 1913 dies. Ifso, he opines, they would have left the mintlegally. No one knows for sure.

Now back to the example that just sold for$3.17 million on April 25. This is known as theWalton Specimen. It seems that George O.Walton, a North Carolina collector, had man-aged to own this recently sold coin.Unfortunately, he died in a car crash in 1962while returning from a coin show where hehad exhibited the coin. Coins were spread allover the road as a result of the crash. Policedid their best to ensure all coins were cleanedup from the site and returned to his family.But — the 1913 nickel was supposedly notfound.

Years later,Walton’s widowand heirs hadwhat theythought was thereal coin exam-ined by anexpert, whodeclared the cointhey showed himwas a fake. Thecoin wasreturned to acloset in the fami-ly home in a small box marked “fake.”

With only four of the five specimens’ loca-tions known, in 2003 a nation-wide search forthe fifth was conducted. A reward of $1 mil-lion was offered. That was enough for Walton’sheirs to bring the “fake” coin to the ANA(American Numismatic Assn) show inBaltimore, where the other four specimenswould be place on display, under armed guard.

Low and behold, several experts examinedthe coin, compared it to the others, and it wasdeclared to be the missing fifth coin. The fam-ily chose not to sell it (for the $1 millionreward) — until this past April.

The five specimens have been displayedtogether only a few times since. Of the five,two are in museums, and three are in privatecollections. Here are the five, as known bytheir one-time owners:

• The Eliasberg Specimen — Graded Proof66, sold for $5 million in a private sale in 2007.

• The Olsen Specimen — Graded Proof 64,sold for $3.7 million in 2005. This is the mostfamous of the five as it was featured in anepisode of Hawaii Five-O.

• The Norweb Specimen — Currently in theSmithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C.

• The Walton Specimen (the coin that wasjust sold) — Bought by a collector in Kentucky.

• The McDermott Specimen — Currently inthe ANA’s Money Museum in ColoradoSprings.

I promise to get to those readers’ questionsin my next column. Until then, keep thosequestions coming, by contacting me as notedbelow.

Study up on college savings vehiclesAnother school year is

drawing to a close — so ifyou have young children,they’re one year closer tothe day when they head offto college.

And both you and yourchildren need to preparefor that day. Your kids cando so by developing goodstudy habits. As for you,it’s never too soon to startpreparing for the high costs of higher educa-tion.

Just how costly is college? According to theCollege Board’s figures for the 2012-13 aca-demic year, the average cost for one year at anin-state four-year public school is $22,261; fora private school, the comparable expense is$43,289. And if college costs continue risingfaster than the general inflation rate, thesefigures will increase substantially in theyears ahead.

Of course, it’s entirely possible that yourkids will receive some scholarships or grants,which can significantly lower your out-of-pocket price tag. Nonetheless, it’s probably agood idea not to count on your offspring get-ting a “full ride” to school — which meansthat you may want to start exploring college-savings vehicles.

Fortunately, you have some attractiveoptions, one of which is a 529 plan.

When you contribute to a 529 plan, yourearnings accumulate tax free, provided theyare used for qualified higher educationexpenses. (Keep in mind, though, that 529plan distributions not used for qualifiedexpenses may be subject to federal and stateincome tax and a 10 percent IRS penalty.)Furthermore, your 529 plan contributionsmay be deductible from your state taxes.However, 529 plans vary, so be sure to checkwith your tax advisor regarding deductibili-ty.

A 529 plan offers other benefits, too. Forone thing, the lifetime contribution limits for529 plans are quite generous; while these lim-

its vary by state, some plansallow contributions well inexcess of $200,000. Plus, a 529plan is flexible: if your child,grandchild or other benefici-ary decides against college orvocational school, you cantransfer the unused funds toanother family member, taxand penalty free.

While a 529 plan may be agood choice for building

resources for college, it’s certainly not theonly choice. For example, a CoverdellEducation Savings Account, like a 529 plan,can generate tax-free earnings if the moneyis used for higher education expenses.However, you can typically only put in a max-imum of $2,000 per year to a Coverdellaccount.

Another college-savings possibility is acustodial account, known as an UGMA orUTMA, which offers some tax benefits, nocontribution limits, and may have an impacton financial aid. You might also considerinvesting in a zero-coupon bond that maturesjust when your child is ready for college.Unlike other bonds, you won’t receive regularinterest payments with a zero-coupon bond,but you purchase it at a deep discount, so youmight find the affordability factor to be worthconsidering. (Be aware, though, that eventhough you don’t actually receive the interestpayments annually, you’ll still be liable forthe taxes on them, so before purchasing azero coupon bond, consult with your tax advi-sor).

Whichever college-savings vehicles youchoose, try to put them to work as early asyou can. Before you know it, today’s first-graders will be tomorrow’s college freshmen.

NEWS BRIEFCare packages to help local senior veterans stay safe

AUBURN — While sending care packages to troops overseas is a time-honored tradition, Emeritus at Eddy Pondwill be delivering them to local senior veterans or their surviving spouses during Memorial Day week in an initia-tive designed to assist them in staying safely in their homes.

This program is part of a national effort by Emeritus Senior Living to deliver more than 2,000 care packages andprovide a helping hand with safety measures for seniors. Called “Heroes Emeritus” in honor of the veterans’ serv-ice, the program is underway now and runs through Memorial Day, May 27.

The Heroes Emeritus care packages include nightlights, first aid kits, medication management containers, waterbottles, healthy snacks, and other items that make a senior’s daily life and home more secure. In addition to deliv-ering the packages, the Emeritus team will perform a home safety check to ensure the living environment is freeof any potential hazards.

“Our veterans and the spouses who gave their support on the home front have done so much to keep our nationsafe,” said Robin Starry Fields, executive director of Emeritus at Eddy Pond. “We’d like to do what we can to helpkeep these heroes stay safe in their senior years.”

Starry Fields noted that the Heroes Emeritus program is part of the Emeritus philosophy of “SafelySomewhere” – an initiative that helps us ensure that seniors are residing in safe, meaningful situations, regardlessof whether it is in their own homes or elsewhere,”

Members of the public who would like to recommend a local senior veteran or veteran spouse for the HeroesEmeritus program are asked to call Emeritus at Eddy Pond at 508-832-2200 or via email at [email protected].

Heroes Emeritus partners include Omnicare, Caring.com, the Fischer Group, Life Care Funding Group, GulfSouth, Kellogg’s and Campbell’s – all of which made generous donations to fill the veteran care packages.

Page 11: Welcome home Simonian, Page earn wins in Annual …2013/05/24  · AUBURN — On May 14 and 15 Auburn High hosted the girls’ and boys’ Southern Worcester County League outdoor

combat engineer, 23, who was also stationedin Iraq during his first, 10-month tour.

A 2007 graduate of Bay Path RegionalVocational Technical High School, Bakerlissaid joining the military was something hehad always wanted for himself. He said hehopes to make it into a career in the years tocome.

Bakerlis said he hasn’t placed college toofar from his mind, as he hopes to obtain adegree in psychology in the near future.

Bakerlis described his job in the field asone of high risk. He said he and his unitwere on the front lines clearing the area notonly for the military, but for the safety oflocal civilians.

“All of the stuff you read in the newspa-per about trucks getting blown up by impro-vised explosive devices, and people losinglimbs and everything, we actually go outand we find those,” said Bakerlis. “We eitherblow them up ourselves, or they blow us up,unfortunately.”

Bakerlis said while the job is dangerous, itis what he signed up for. He said he feelsleading his soliders in, and getting the jobdone, is an honor.

“When I signed up I actually knew whatthe job was,” said Bakerlis. “I like it. We’reon the front lines. We go ahead of everybodyelse. It is a pretty big honor, because we han-dled everything.”

Speaking with Ugalde, she said the life ofa blue star mother is one of constant ten-sion, worry and pride. She said while shewas surprised when Bakerlis announced hewas joining the military, she was on his sidefrom the start.

“He inspires me,” said Ugalde during aphone interview on Monday, May 13. “Hemakes me proud, and he makes me scared.He takes a lot of risks, because he likes tochallenge himself.”

Ugalde went onto say that she has alwaysseen that leader in her son. Even as a childin school or on the soccer field, Ugalde saidBakerlis was always one to reach out andhelp people.

“He is the kind of person to put others

first,” said Ugalde. “To this day, he is thesame. I am inspired by his work in the mili-tary, and in person. He is always thinkingabout his soldiers and me.”

Bakerlis said while you can’t prepare forevery circumstance that comes with a joblike route clearance, the one thing he doesdo is “expect the worst and prepare for thebest.”

“Sometimes we have good days, and some-times we have bad days,” said Bakerlis.

Ugalde said while she worried about herson, she was pleased to have the Blue StarMothers of Massachusetts behind her every

day of her son’s tours.“It was extremely difficult emotionally,

physically and mentally,” said Ugalde, whosaid she checked her e-mail “obsessively”for updates and messages every day. “Hesaid before he left, the missions were goingto be extremely dangerous and classified. Ijust remember being very jumpy. That 10months was very tough.”

Bay Path hosts mock carcrash ahead of prom season

ing under the influencecausing injury, being aminor possessing and trans-porting alcohol and textingwhile driving.

That was the gist of a SafeProm enactment at Bay PathRegional VocationalTechnical High SchoolThursday, May 16, in whichCutrona and several fellowstudents portrayed them-selves as characters in adeadly drunk driving crash.The plotline had Cutronaand his prom date, MikaylaPecore, of Charlton (who“died”) traveling with KevinFigueroa, of NorthBrookfield, and his dateNalia Alicea, ofSouthbridge (who was para-lyzed), between parties inwhich they’d consumedalcohol and possibly drugs,both in and outside the car.While speeding through theCVS intersection on Route20 (and running a red),Cutrona looked down toanswer a text and plowedroughly head-on into thesecond car carrying DanielGolden of Spencer andGabrielle Bailey ofCharlton.

From the football fieldbleachers, the junior andsenior classes watched thefire department use itsnewly-obtained Jaws of Lifeto cut apart “Cutrona’s” redcar to extract Figueroa andAlicea, who were bundledinto ambulances. They sawPecore rolled into a realbody bag and driven away ina real hearse as a teacherportraying her mother

watched. They saw a some-what bloody Cutrona flunkthree sobriety tests and endup in real handcuffs. In themidst of it all, they also sawthe real Life Flight helicop-ter land and take off again.

Afterward, thingsadjourned to the gym,where “Judge” ElizabethHaddad presided overCutrona’s mock criminaltrial with Michael Salloumand Julie Lesure acting asprosecutor and defenseattorney, respectively, andtwelve students serving asthe jury. Haddad, Salloumand Lesure are actually allattorneys from the DistrictAttorney’s office.

“This was a good thing ifwe can make one kid make agood decision tomorrownight,” Cutrona said after-ward, referring to the factBay Path’s real-life promwas Friday.

His classmates agreed,especially Pecore, who saidshe’s “already consciousabout driving because ofwhat happened before I wasborn.” While she was inutero, she said, her motherhad a car accident in whichshe was believed dead for awhile.

According to firefighterDanielle Robertson, whohelped coordinate the event,such accidents happen“much too often.”

“Unfortunately, the drunkperson usually walks awayfrom it,” she said. “It’s whatthey do to others that hurts.Even one life lost is toomuch.”

Indeed, Principal CliffCloutier observed that BayPath has seen that up close.

“There’s nothing worsethan receiving that phonecall from a parent [that theirchild died], and I have toturn around and inform thestaff and students,” he said,his voice cracking fromemotion. “That has hap-pened three times since I’vebeen principal … that I’vehad to notify them of a pass-ing student.”

Although drunken acci-dents are too common,Lesure noted intoxicationdoesn’t necessarily have tobe a factor for car-relateddeaths to leave a painfulmemory. In recent years, shehas seen accidents increas-ingly caused by various dis-tractions within the car, par-ticularly using cellphonesand texting. She said driversare 23 times more likely tohave accidents while textingbecause of how it takes theireyes off the road.

Under MGL Chapter 90,Section 8M, people underage 18 are prohibited fromusing any form of “mobiletelephone or mobile elec-tronic device” while driving,subject to a $100 fine, 60-daylicense suspension (both arehigher for subsequentoffenses) and an “attitudinalchange” course. More gener-ally, Section 13B prohibitsuse of a device to “compose,send or read an electronicmessage” while driving atany age,with similar finesbut without the other penal-ties.

Holiday Inn teams up with AlternativesCourtesy photo

AUBURN/WHITINSVILLE — The Holiday Inn Express has teamed up withAlternatives, Inc. and their Employment Academy Program, which Alternativesdeveloped.

The Employment Academy trains adults with developmental disabilities for the jobmarket and works with them through their employment service to help them find jobs.Through classes taught to the students in regards to topics in the job market, to bring-ing the students to a select company to observe particular positions with that certaincompany, Alternatives’ Employment Academy makes an impact in the lives of adultsthat normally would not have that opportunity.

The Holiday Inn Express, in Auburn, has been very supportive of this program.Their Director of Sales, Kathy Kirk, has taught at the classes about successful inter-viewing and dressing for success. The Holiday Inn Express has hosted two of the stu-dents four weeks in a row, for the students to observe different departments in thehotel, part of the course. Two students, along with their team leader, come for an houreach Friday and observe the laundry, housekeeping and/or maintenance departments.The guidelines for the students are to not ask any questions or be a distraction to theemployee in any way, and to hold their questions until after the observation period.Afterwards the team leader and the students sit down with the hotel employee toanswer any questions they had in regards to the job.

“We believe strongly in the program that Alternatives offers. We are honored thatwe can be a part in helping to prepare these students for job placement and any otheropportunities that may arise, thus making a difference in their life through practicalmeans.”

Health and Wellness Festival May29

DUDLEY — May is Food AllergyAwareness Month and in recognition ofthis, the Central Mass Parents of Childrenwith Food Allergies, along with the Dudley-Charlton School District, will be hosting aHealth and Wellness Festival at ShepherdHill Regional High School from 6 to 8:15 p.m.on Wednesday, May 29.

Along with free samples of allergy friend-ly foods there will be a variety of vendorssuch as, nutritionists, Skeeter Snacks, PageChiropractic, Weight Watchers, and Curves,as well as a large selection of raffle items.

Renowned allergy rocker Kyle Dine willbe performing. Through interactive rocksongs, most notably “You Must Be Nuts!”

and “Food Allergies Rock!” Kyle brings foodallergy awareness and healthy choices alive.Kids and parents across the globe go “nuts”over his performances!

The goal of the Central Mass Parents ofChildren with Food Allergies SupportGroup is to raise awareness on recognizing,responding, and treating those who sufferfrom life threatening food allergies. A recentstudy sponsored by the Food AllergyInitiative found

that “nearly eight percent of childrenunder the age of 18, about six million ofthem (1 in 13), have a food allergy.Researchers also concluded that nearly 40percent of those

reactions are severe, and nearly one-thirdhave sensitivities to more than one food.”

“While there is no cure for food allergies,avoidance, preparation, education andawareness are the best preventative meas-ures,” said Marci Komssi, (Founder, CentralMass Parents of Children with FoodAllergies Support Group). “Food allergieschange how families live and require con-stant attention. We hope that people who arenot directly touched by food allergies willattend as well to learn about safeguardsthey need to take when a child with foodallergies visits their homes.”

Add a Fresh Twist to Taco Night With Seafood NewsUSA

You want to serve fun, nutri-

tious meals, but your kids clam-

or for pizza and mac &

cheese. The solution? Create

nutritious versions of kid-

friendly favorites. For example,

kids love finger food, so filling

crunchy taco shells with fish or

shrimp in exchange for meat is a

great way to add a twist to a clas-

sic meal.

Dietary recommendations sug-

gest that all Americans, includ-

ing children, eat seafood twice a

week. “Fish is a natural source of

omega-3 fatty acids supporting

brain and heart health,” says

Sylvia Klinger, registered dieti-

tian and nutrition consultant.

“And when you serve it in

crunchy tacos with fresh lettuce,

tomatoes and guacamole, you’ll

give your kids the ‘brain food’

they need without having to

endure wrinkled noses.”

Involve the whole family in

your next taco dinner by hosting

a Mexican Fiesta Night. Set the

tone with authentic Mexican

music and invite everyone to

build their own fish tacos. Try

the recipe below or visit

www.gortons.com for a variety of

family-pleasing fish and shrimp

taco ideas.

Crunchy Fish TacosYield: 4-6 servings (8-12 tacos)Preparation and Cook Time:

20 minutes

1 package of Gorton’s fish sticks(11.4 oz), popcorn shrimp (14 oz),or tenders (10.6 oz)1 package yellow corn taco shells(12 ct), warmed

Four Easy Steps You Can Take Today To Help Sell Your Home1. Stage the Exterior of your home! Fresh paint, updated landscaping and welcoming lawn furniturewill help a quick sale. Buyers often look for an outdoor space that they can enjoy with friends andfamily2. Make your home available. Homes that don’t get shown don’t get sold. Try to accommodate asmany appointments to view your home as possible. In today’s market, there are many vacant prop-erties that can be shown anytime. Restrictive time frames, appointments that have to be set far inadvance will usually result in a buyer crossing your place off the list. 3. Get real about pricing! Try to be the best deal on the market. Homes that are priced correctly willsell quicker and get a higher sale price than those that have sat on the market. Today’s educated buy-ers are familiar with comparable sales in the area. They will flock to a home that looks like a greatdeal. Competitively priced homes get the most traffic and at times even receive multiple offers.4. Pay attention to the competition. Look at the price of homes that are similar in style, condition,and location have sold for. Attend some open houses! Honestly size up your competition. Try to lookat your competition from the Buyers point of view, removing all emotion you may have tied to yourhome. Keep constantly updated on changes in the market, try to stay ahead of the curve!

PETS

Omega-3 Fatty Acids For Your Pet’s Health(NAPS)

For many years, pet own-ers have given omega-3 fattyacids to their dogs to changea dull, dry coat into a moreglossy one.

A shiny coat and healthyskin on the outside can beindicators of a healthy peton the inside. Conversely,skin problems may indicatea need for dietary changesor supplementation.

Always check your dog’sskin and coat for such trou-bling signs as hair loss, rawspots or brittle hair, andwatch for excessive scratch-ing. While several factors,

including heredity andgrooming, can affect skinand coat conditions, nutri-tion is an important factor. Ifyour pet exhibits any ofthese symptoms, be sure toask your veterinarian aboutthe benefits of omega-3 fattyacid supplementation.Many veterinarians recom-mend it to reduce theamount of corticosteroid orantihistamine needed tocontrol itching and for over-all skin and coat health.

Research has shown thatomega-3s can benefit a vari-ety of other conditions, too.

According to a study pub-

lished in the Journal of theAmerican VeterinaryMedical Association, fish oil(which contains the long-chain omega-3 fatty acidsEPA and DHA) helps modifyinflammatory responses indogs with joint problems orother conditions re–lated toimmune function.

Another study publishedby the same journal foundthat diets or supplementscontaining DHA mayimprove memory or learn-ing abilities of young dogs.

These dietary modifica-tions are being used toenhance the performance of

working and companiondogs.

Fish oil is a better sourceof omega-3s than flaxseedor other vegetable oilsbecause it contains thelong-chain omega-3s EPAand DHA recommended byexperts, while the vegetablesources contain short-chainomega-3s. Always choose ahigh-quality omega-3 fishoil supplement such asDermaquin (available atWalmart).

For more information onDermaquin, visit the com-pany website at www.nutra-maxlabs.com.

Cat Litter Offers A New Combination WithNatural Ingredients and A Humorous Approach

(NAPS)

There’s good news for cat ownerswho want to get back to nature. TidyCats® recently introduced PureNature™, a new cat litter designed towin the approval of both your cat andyour inner nature lover.

Described as a lightweight, clump-ing cat litter, Pure Nature is made with99.9 percent natural ingredients—including cedar, pine and corn—foroutstanding absorption, clumping andodor control that is 99.9 percent dustfree.

A SUSTAINABLE FORMULA

This new cat litter contains:• Corn cob by-product • Cedar and pine recycled from con-

struction, furniture and window man-ufacturing (whenever available).

• It is available in 71/2-lb, 12-lb and14-lb pouches at retailers nationwide.

A HARMONIOUS APPROACH

To celebrate the launch of its newlitter, Tidy Cats took a humorousapproach and created Cedar, Pine andCorn—a group of cat-centric crooners.

The band sings exclusively about catsand cat litter and their sound is a littlecountry, a little rock and roll, and theperfect pedigree of feline folk. Thegroup’s first single is titled “WhenNature Calls.”

The trio also teamed up with FunnyOr Die and released a video thatdetails exactly how to “get back tonature” with Cedar, Pine and Corn.This comedic video, as well as theband’s song, can be found atwww.cedarpineandcorn.com.

“We were thrilled to have our felinefolk trio team up with Funny Or Die tocelebrate the launch of our new TidyCats® Pure Nature™ cat litter,” saidKeith Peterfeso, Assistant BrandManager, Tidy Cats.

Tidy Cats brand cat litter is designedfor homes with multiple cats and isspecially formulated to control odorand help keep homes smelling freshand clean. To learn more, visitwww.cedarpineandcorn.com.

Helping Cats And Dogs Have Healthy Joints(NAPS)

Your four-footed friendscould benefit from your tak-ing four important steps tokeep your pets in peak con-dition.

1. See the vet for regu-lar checkups. Dogs and catsage faster than humans.They can grow up—andgrow old—almost before youknow it. Regular wellnessexams let your veterinariandiagnose, manage and pro-tect against potential healthproblems before theybecome serious.

Common health screen-ings recommended by theAmerican VeterinaryMedical Associationinclude:

• Immunizations• Parasite check• Heartworm check• Dental health exam• Blood panel• Chemistry panel

• Urinalysis• Osteoarthritis check• Chest radiograph• Thyroid check• Blood pressure check.Since cats have a tendency

to hide illness, cat ownersmay not realize there’s aproblem without regularwellness exams.

2. Don’t let your pethave a fat chance of beingfit. Obesity is a big healthrisk for pets.

3. Exercise their rightto exercise. Dogs should getat least 20 minutes of exer-cise a day. Play with yourcats often to keep them mov-ing.

4. Keep their jointssupple. Common signs of ajoint problem include:

FOR DOGS

• Reluctance to climbstairs

• Falling behind on walks• Difficulty getting up in

the morning or after a nap• Personality change

FOR CATS

• Reluctance to jump• Less prowling and chas-

ing of prey• Lying around the house

more often• Dislike of stroking, par-

ticularly of the back or tail• No longer seeking affec-

tion or other personalitychange.

Fortunately, a solution tojoint health that veterinari-ans have been prescribingfor many years is now avail-able in Walmart, Pet-Smartand Petco. Just as withhumans, joint supplementssuch as glucosamine andchondroitin can ease somepain by helping to supportand protect cartilage.Cosequin is the originalresearched brand, scientifi-cally formulated to supportand help maintain thehealth of pets’ joints andconnective tissue. It is alsothe only glucosamine/chon-droitin sulfate supplementthat has been shown safe,effective and absorbable inpeer-reviewed, published,controlled, U.S. veterinarystudies. It’s manufacturedby Nutramax Laboratories,Inc. following standardssimilar to those practiced bythe pharmaceutical indus-try.

Bedding: A BigChoice ForSmall Pets

For a happy, healthy small pet, it’s wise to make sure its bedding isall natural.

(NAPS)

The next time you consider expanding your family toinclude a hamster, Guinea pig, bunny or other small pet, youwon’t be alone. Some 16 million U.S. families currently co-habitate with small pets, according to the American PetProducts Association National Pet Owners Survey.

Of particular importance for small pets is their livingenvironment. Unlike dogs and cats, which enjoy more mobil-ity, most small animals are confined to enclosures thatbecome their entire world.

CREATURE COMFORTS

Each item that goes into the pets’ living spaces requirescareful consideration, especially the bed- ding, as there is awide variety of options, including wood shavings (pine,aspen and cedar), paper (reclaimed sludge-based and sludge-free), corncobs, pellets made of wood, paper, wheat and otherfibers, and crinkled paper. They’re not all alike, however.Some bedding products may actually contain toxins. Areview by the Michigan State University Diagnostic Centerfor Population and Animal Health of previous testing con-firmed that beddings made using reclaimed pulp fibers are“…more likely to contain detectable levels of dioxin thanother products such as wood shavings or by-product papers.”

Reclaimed pulp beddings are made with fibers collectedfrom pulp mill sewage systems. Though the paper industryhas made efforts to rid their waste streams of the most trou-bling compounds, tests conducted by independent laborato-ries showed detectable amounts of dioxin in samples of thereclaimed pulp paper beddings tested. In addition, pelletsmade from recycled newspaper also tested positive for diox-ins. Both of these types of beddings are widely used by con-sumers.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

When you choose small-pet bedding, there are certainfunctional features to look for, such as absorbency, odor con-trol, limited dust and ease of use. The price per use of thesebeddings varies, with pine typically being the most costeffective, followed by aspen and cedar, corncob, paper andvarious pelletized products, in order of least to most expen-sive. Safety is also an important consideration, and it is rec-ommended that pet owners focus on bedding that is all natu-ral, sludge-free and dioxin-free.

With that foundation, then make your bedding choicebased on what is most important for you and your pet.

LEARN MORE

You can access free, downloadable small-pet bedding infor-mation, and many pet care facts and tips, at the website ofthe leading provider of animal bedding in the United States,American Wood Fibers (AWF): www.awf.com/small petcare.

Recently, veterinarians have found that besides playing an importantrole in skin and coat health, omega-3 supplements can also provideother benefits.

Exercise and dietary supplements can help prevent joint pain inpets.

Wash Away The EffectsOf Rough Weather

(NAPS)

When it’s time for spring-cleaning, remember toinclude your car. Cleaningyour vehicle inside and outprevents the buildup of dam-aging chemicals and dirt,reduces the potential for rustfrom road salt and helpsensure proper visibility need-ed for safe driving.

How To?Clean Your CarTo get started, remove any

clutter from inside the car,including items that haveaccumulated in the trunkthat can add extra weight andreduce fuel efficiency. Thenext step is to thoroughly

clean and vacuum the interi-or and wash the windows.

When washing the outside,include the tires, wheels,underside and fenders toeliminate any road salt orgrime. Wheels and tiresshould be cleaned with a mittother than the one used towash the body. This will avoidcontaminating the vehicle’spaint with debris from thewheels and tires.

Wash in the shade and witha product sold specifically forcars. Wash one section at atime, thoroughly rinsingaway the soap as you go. Workyour way down toward the

front, sides and rear of thevehicle. Clean the fenders andbumpers last since they willhave the most dirt and grimethat can contaminate thewash mitt.

Give the car a final rinse:Remove the spray nozzle fromthe hose and let the water cas-cade down the surfaces of thevehicle. To avoid water spots,dry your car with a chamoisor other product made fordrying.

The last step is to wax thecar. This should be done out ofdirect sunlight and every sixmonths. It goes a long waytoward protecting the vehi-cle’s finish and makes subse-quent washes easier.

If you found any stonechips, rust or other problemspots while washing yourvehicle, the experts at the CarCare Council recommendhaving these taken care ofimmediately to prevent fur-ther damage.

The Council is the source ofinformation for the “Be CarCare Aware” consumer edu-cation campaign promotingthe benefits of regular vehi-cle care, maintenance andrepair to consumers.

Everything Gets Old—Even Your Shocks

(NAPS)

Look around your home and you’ll probablysee a few important items you are planning toreplace—a tattered chair, those old runningshoes, the living room wallpaper.

There are also important parts on yourvehicle that need to be replaced when they getold—including your shock absorbers andstruts. But replacing them is more than just amatter of keeping your vehicle fresh—it canalso help keep you and your family safe.

“Shocks and struts are hidden behind thewheels, so their condition isn’t as easy to see,and drivers tend to miss the gradual loss ofsteering, stopping and stability that occurs asthey wear out,” says Carri Irby, brand manag-er for Monroe shocks and struts manufacturerTenneco Inc. “So it’s im?portant to have thevehicle’s ride control system inspected at leastonce a year and to replace worn shocks andstruts at 50,000 miles.” (Actual mileage mayvary depending on driver ability, vehicle typeand driving and road conditions, according toIrby.)

Shocks and struts are part of a system ofinterrelated under-car components known asthe “Safety Triangle.” Other elements of thissystem are the tires, brakes and chassis parts,such as ball joints and tie rod ends. When anyof these parts is worn, the entire system canbe compromised, leading to a loss of steeringprecision, stopping performance and overallvehicle stability in a variety of driving situa-tions.

To reinforce this important safety message,the Monroe brand recently launched an exten-sive North American marketing campaigntitled “Everything Gets Old. Even YourShocks.” The campaign contrasts these vitalbut often overlooked vehicle components with

worn everyday items that most consumersreplace on a more frequent basis—shoes,toothbrushes, batteries, and even tires.

“It’s vital to understand that while youmight not be able to see them without gettingdown on your hands and knees, shocks andstruts take an incredible beating and they doget old,” said Irby. “Protect your safety by ask-ing your vehicle service provider for a ridecontrol inspection and, if your shocks andstruts are worn out, have them replaced.”

A program that helps companies choose the right kind of vehicle also offers an innovative maintenanceplan.

To help stay safe on the road, have your car’s shocksand struts inspected by a professional—and ifthey’re worn out, have them replaced.

Keeping your vehicle clean protects your valuable investment. The tasktakes very little money or effort but provides huge returns.

PRAYER TO THEHOLY SPIRIT

Holy Spirit, you who made me see everything and

showed me the way to reach my ideal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget the wrong that is done to me and you who are in all instances of life with me. I, in this short dialogue, want to

thank you for everything and confirm once more that I

never want to be separated from you no matter how

great the material desire may be. I want to be with you and

my loved ones in your perpetual glory. Amen.Thank you for your love

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a vehiclemade for New England. Heck, it's eventhrice been named Winter Vehicle of theYear by the New England Motor PressAssociation. How could it get any better?

Easy – slap a diesel engine in it that gets30 mpg on the highway. Plus, as I've point-ed out after the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokeewas introduced at the New EnglandInternational Auto Show, the new 3.0-literEcoDiesel V-6 engine has a driving rangeof more than 730 miles, and best-in-classtowing capability of 7,400 pounds.

I found out more about this exciting newGrand Cherokee (not to be confused withthe Cherokee introduced at the New YorkAuto Show in March) during a mediadrive in Austin, Texas. It's an amazingbeast in both its diesel and gas variationsboth on and off-road, but especially off-road.

The V8 gasoline version can drive itselfuphill. Apparently, and I'm not sure how Imissed this, but the Jeep Wrangler couldalready do this. I planted the GrandCherokee at the base of a 27-degree rockand it effortlessly took me and a passengerup the face. Off-roading has become a lot

more stress free. It also, as a side benefit,has to be more fuel efficient when theengine and other systems are driving thevehicle through what would normally beless fuel-efficient times. The system is cur-rently available in the V8 model and haslate availability in the EcoDiesel model.Consider waiting if you do off-roadingbecause it will be worth getting both fea-tures together.

Lets take a moment to explore the prosand cons of a diesel Grand Cherokee.There is the aforementioned 30 mpg on the

highway, a driving range of 730miles, and towing capability of7400 lbs. The engine also produces240 horsepower and a massive 420lb.-ft. of torque.

The cons would be the higherprice of diesel fuel and the approx-imately $2200 additional cost of thediesel engine. The 3.6-liter V6 gasGrand Cherokee, rated at 17-mpgcity and 25-mpg highway, has anannual fuel cost of $2651 based on$3.51 a gallon for regular gas and15,000 miles of driving with a 55%highway balance. The dieselengine is going to have an annualfuel cost of $2352 based on diesel at$3.92 per gallon. You're going tosave $299 a year, which means ittakes seven years approximately tomake up the difference.

So, why go with the diesel? Itdelivers fuel economy and power atthe same time. Diesel engines typi-cally last a lot longer than gasolineengines. With proper maintenanceyou're looking at 300,000 miles easi-ly. Plus, the modern diesel engine isnothing like those of old thanks toa quiet ride.

What's also impressive is howfuel economy improves across thelineup. Let's be frank. Jeeps andfuel economy don't go hand inhand, at least not until now. Thereis a new Eco Mode for 2014. As Jeepexplains, Eco Mode make the mostefficient use of the transmission’sshift schedule and, in V-8 models,Fuel Saver cylinder deactivation.(In effect, cylinders shut downwhen not needed at highway cruis-ing speeds.) In addition, the EcoMode activates Grand Cherokee’sair suspension system, lowering it

to “Aero Ride Height” when thevehicle speed remains between 52mph and 56 mph, or exceeds 56mph.

Eco Mode is automaticallyengaged upon vehicle startup. Abutton on the center stack allowsdriver’s to disengage Eco Mode ifmore spirited performance isdesired. In other words, this is nota full-time electronic nanny that"tut-tuts" if you want to take fulleffect of all that awesome power.

OK, so does it drive as good as itlooks? In a couple hundred miles ofdriving around Texas, including agreat off-road course, I found the2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee to be anengaging vehicle to drive.

Probably the best praise to give avehicle is to almost forget you aredriving, especially when a passen-ger. The absence of complaints is agood thing. Nothing struck me aswrong with this vehicle while dri-ving or being driven. An initialconcern I had with road noiseended up being attributed to roadsurface.

Among Grand Cherokee’s 63advanced safety and security fea-tures are standard electronic sta-bility control (ESC) that deliversfour security features to improveoverall vehicle handling and per-formance both on- and off-road:Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)reacts and applies brakes duringextreme situation, while availableSelec-Speed Control and Hill-startAssist (HSA) work with standardtrailer-sway control (TSC) toenhance off-road and towing capa-bilities.

In addition, standard front-rowactive head restraints, standard

full-length side-curtain air bagsand standard seat-mounted sidethorax air bags offer enhancedoccupant protection to passengersin the event of a collision.
