McKenna faces new
challenges as state rep
Former Durant chief of staff ready for
challenge representing his district

NEWS STAFF WRITER
With Sen. Ryan Fattman moving
to his new post as of the first week
of January, his successor, fellow
Republican and first time politician
Joe McKenna, has hit the ground running representing the 18th Worcester
District, which consists of part of
Oxford, Webster, Sutton and Douglas.
McKenna, who faced a Republican
primary and heavy competition from
longtime Webster Selectman Mark
Dowgiewicz for the seat, started his
career in politics working in the State
House in the office of State Rep. Peter
Durant before making a run for office
himself. McKenna said, so far, the
change to his new post has been seamless.
“It’s certainly been an interesting
shift,” he said. “People call you ‘representative’ and they treat you with a

Hearing aids change
life of Upton man
‘I wouldn’t be able to
communicate without it’
BY KEVIN FLANDERS
NEWS STAFF WRITER
AUBURN — By fusing
medical and electronic
technologies,
Beltone
New England’s latest
hearing aid is vastly
improving the quality of
life for its users.
Featuring
groundbreaking capabilities,
Beltone First hearing
aids can receive sounds
directly from users’
iPhones and other Apple,
Inc. products, with no
need for an adapter or
another auxiliary conduit. Utilizing advanced
wireless connectivity,
phone calls and music
can now be fed directly
from electronic devices
to Beltone First products. The technology also
enables users to control
the settings of their hearing aids with the push
of a button on their cell
phones.
For Beltone First user
Vince Calandra, a sales
executive from Upton,
the
technology
has
changed his life.
“In my profession, I
have to be able to hear
things clearly. I wouldn’t
be able to communicate
without it,” Calandra
said of Beltone First
products.
Suffering from hearing loss due to tinnitus, Calandra noticed
a marked decline in
his hearing a few years
back. When he consulted
with Jim Slade, a hearing instrument specialist at Beltone’s lab in
the Auburn Mall, Slade
had good news for him.
Beltone First had just
been launched.
Now Calandra enjoys
auditory clarity in any
environment

to the versatility of the
product. Capable of

STURBRIDGE
—
Packed with seniors
and juniors that have
played at the varsity level since their
freshman seasons, the
Tantasqua Regional
girls’ basketball team
is an experienced and
aggressive
group,
which has translated into wins on the
floor during this 201415 season. Following
its 54-26 victory over
Northbridge High on
Jan. 22, the Warriors
improved to 12-1.
“They’re really buying into the team con-
cept,” Tantasqua head
coach Tom Goyette
said,
adding
that
everyone can score,
rebound, make a steal
and/or work hard for
a hustle play. “That’s
certainly a huge factor
for us this year.”
Senior co-captain

who scored 17 points

COFFEE reps heading to national conference
BY JASON BLEAU
NEWS STAFF WRITER
OXFORD — Since 1979,
COFFEE, a program
located on the campus of
Oxford High School, has
been dedicated to providing an alternative education source for at-risk
youth or school children
who find it hard to fit in,
focus or adapt to the high
school learning environment.
After all those years
of helping the local community and surrounding
towns COFFEE will now
have the opportunity to
share its work and strategies nationwide as a
national conference in
February.
Representatives
of
COFFEE, which was once
called Project COFFEE,
will make presentations
at the National Dropout
Prevention for At Risk
Youth Conference in
South Carolina the week
of February Vacation,
Feb. 15-18, where they
will not only be able to
present the accomplishments of their program
but will also have the
chance to learn from the
successes of other similar
programs from around
the country as well.
Rich Maliff, Team and

Valley Tech admissions deadline approaches
UPTON — Parents and students interested in applying
to Blackstone Valley Tech
are reminded that completed
applications are due no later
than the close of school on
Feb. 6.
Each year, Valley Tech
receives more than 800 applications for roughly 300 available seats. Those numbers are
expected to remain on track
this year, as indicated by a
December open house that
saw more than 1,000 students,
parents and guardians visit
the school’s Upton campus
to take part in informational
sessions and guided tours of
Valley Tech’s vocational technical programs:

Demitri
Almeida of Milford was
among hundreds of current
applicants who attended the
open house for an up-close
look at the nationally recognized system. Almeida said he
previously visited the school
with his eighth grade class
and was excited to return.
“I’m interested in all of the
sophisticated technology,”
Almeida explained. “I want to
understand it all.”
Like many parents at the
open house, Lori and Chuck
Scott of Upton expressed
hope that in the years ahead,
an expansion of seating will
allow more children to access
a Valley Tech education.
“It’s sad that they have to
turn kids away when there
are so many who want to go
here,” Lori Scott said. “So,
adding on? Absolutely. It
would be fantastic to be able
to accept more applicants.”
All applications for admission into the Class of 2019
must be received at Valley
Tech by Friday, February 06.
Some sending school systems
might have an earlier submission deadline. Details on

­Blackstone Valley Tribune Douglas Cub Scouts start year
with service project
DOUGLAS — The Douglas Cub Scouts
from Pack 316, chartered by St. Denis
Church, ended 2014 with a service project benefiting military men and women
serving overseas.
Then, they began 2015 with a lot of
excitement!
Throughout the month of November,
the Cub Scouts spent time during their
den meetings making Christmas ornaments. The pack consists of six dens
made up of first through fifth graders.
The dens meet twice a month to work
on their rank requirements and other
projects. The 54 scouts made handcrafted ornaments that they shipped
overseas along with tabletop Christmas
trees and lights.
The purchase of the trees and lights
was made possible through generous
donations from Sochia’s Oil and Gas,
Inc. and Morrissette & Son Electrical
Contractors, Inc. The scouts are very
grateful for the support they received
from these businesses. The businesses
certainly contributed to the success of
their Christmas service project.
With the New Year came the first
Pine Wood Derby for the pack. A Pine
Wood Derby is a racing event for Cub
Scouts. With assistance from their parents, the scouts must first build their
own cars from a block of wood. The kits
they are given contain a pine block,
plastic wheels, and metal axles. The rest
is left to the imagination and hard work
of the scouts.
Pack 316’s inaugural event had 72
entries, including cars from scouts,
siblings, leaders, and parents. Designs
included a replica of Grave Digger, a
Reese’s Peanut Butter car, a porcupine,
and a car that originally raced in 1976.
Each rank had a first, second and third
place racer, along with an award for
the most unique and best paint job. The
top five cars will race in the Mill Town
District Derby in March.
Pack 316 would like to congratulate Daniel Twohig, who was the top
racer. His car clocked-in at 156.4 mph.
Congratulations Daniel!
If your son would like to join the fun,
please contact info@Douglaspack316.

One-time
all star
As the Pro Bowl (the NFL’s all-star
game) plays in the background as I write
this, and the Super Bowl is still days
away, I’m reminded of a little known fact
— yours
he
truly was
inor actually a
one-time
etails all star.
Now,
granted,
ADAM
I’ve never
MINOR
played
for a professional
sports league, but back in my high school
days, I had a decent jump shot, and could
hang with some players. My skills were
about to be put on display.
I was at a weekend retreat called Word
of Life Snow Camp (which is also happening this weekend, by the way — nice
timing!). The event always took place on
Super Bowl weekend. We would leave
Friday afternoon and return Sunday
night after a delirious weekend of rallies, games and activities, all on a campground in northern New York, in the
middle of winter. Yeah, it was cold. Like,
nose hair freezing cold. You know what
I’m talking about.
Anyway, part of the weekend included
a 5-on-5 basketball team, and we had a
pretty good squad. I played small forward, but I spent a lot of time out on the
wing shooting jumpers when I was able
to get open. The games were quick, as
there were a lot of teams in the tournament that weekend, and they had to get
everyone fair playing time and opportunity to make the tournament.
Unfortunately, our team only played
a couple games that weekend, as we got
matched up against a team that was
much bigger and much faster than us. We
had no chance, but we did hit some lucky
shots, including a couple three-pointers
from yours truly, as after the game (the
score might as well have been 50-0), we
were walking dejectedly off the court
when a man in a polo shirt with a whistle
around his neck and holding a clipboard
walked up to me.
“Adam Minor?” he asked.
I looked behind me to make sure he
wasn’t talking to another person named
Adam Minor that was somehow standing right behind me, and turned around
to see no one there.
“You’re on the all-star team,” he said
in my direction.
“What? Me?” I asked with genuine surprise. “We just got killed.”
“Nice shooting kid,” he said to me.
“See you tonight.”
“Um, OK,” I murmured, still shocked
at my selection. My teammates were
happy for me, as I was one of only 15
players or so selected for the all-star
game played later that night in front of
hundreds of campers. Officials at the
camp made a big deal out of the game,
officially introducing us by name at
the rally before the game to raucous
applause and techno music, and then
again at the game. Somehow, I was even
chosen for the starting lineup.
I was representing my church at a basketball all-star game. At the time, I must
have thought I was pretty cool.
Things were about to get better.
The game went quickly, as we played
with a running clock. Only a few minutes in, I was starting to get winded.
These players were sprinting circles
around me, with fast break after fast
break. But on one possession, I circled
under the basket and found a route to the
right wing. The point guard knew what I
was doing and fed me the ball right as I
got to my spot. Without even thinking, I
squared up and launched the ball toward
the rim.
Swish.
I didn’t look around or wink to any of
my friends (looking back, I really should
have), but I could hear the crowd erupt
after the shot, particularly from the section that housed my friends. It was a
very cool moment, and one that I’ll never
forget.
I never did get another shot that
night. In fact, if remember correctly,
I don’t think I even touched the ball
again. Perhaps the opposition feared my
assassin’s eye and tightened their grip
on defense. More likely, I was promptly substituted for after getting winded.
Regardless, I had my all-star moment.
Granted, it was in front of 400 people
instead of in front of 80,000 people, but
you know what? I’ll take it.

OPINION
Opinion and commentary from the Blackstone Valley and beyond
What does 2015 hold in store
for investors?
If you’re an investor,
you probably had a pretty good year in 2014. But
what’s in store for 2015?
It’s essentially impossible to make precise
predictions about the
performance of the
financial markets — but
it is possible to identify
those economic conditions and market
forces that may help shape outcomes in
the investment world for 2015. By paying close attention to these conditions
and forces, you can gain some valuable
insights as to what investment moves
might make sense for you.
Here are a few of these moves:
Consider adding stocks. With stock
prices having climbed higher and higher for more than five years, you might
be wondering if it’s time to scale back
on your ownership of equities. After
all, no “bull” market lasts forever. Still,
some factors point to continued strength
for stocks over the long term. First,
we are seeing signs of improving economic growth; employment gains and
low oil prices are giving consumers
more confidence, leading to a boost in
spending. Second, corporate earnings
— a key driver of stock prices — were
quite strong in the second half of 2014,
and companies appear poised to show
more good results in 2015. Third, stocks
— at least large-company stocks — are
still reasonably valued, as measured
by their price-to-earnings ratios (P/E).
Given these factors, you might want
to think about adding quality stocks to
your holdings — assuming, of course,
these stocks can help meet your needs
for a balanced portfolio. And be aware
that even the most favorable conditions
can’t assure a continued run-up in stock
prices, which can and will fluctuate.
Prepare for rising interest rates.
For several years, interest rates have
been at, or near, historical lows. Given
the strengthening economy, and the
decreased need for stimulus, the Federal
Reserve may well raise short-term inter-
est rates in 2015, perhaps as early as this
financial summer. But long-term
rates may start rising
Focus
even before then, so
you may want to take a
JEFF
close look at your bonds
BURDICK
and other fixed-rate
investments. As you
probably know, when
interest rates rise, the value of existing
bonds typically falls because investors
won’t pay full price for your bonds when
they can get newly issued ones that
pay higher rates. One way to combat
the effects of rising rates is to build a
“ladder” consisting of short-, intermediate- and long-term bonds. With such
a ladder, you’ll be able to redeem your
maturing short-term bonds and reinvest
them in the new, higher-paying bonds.
Look for investment opportunities
abroad. Although economic growth has
been slow in parts of the world, especially China, many countries have now initiated policies to spur economic growth.
These actions can create opportunities
for international equity investments.
Keep in mind, though, that international investing involves particular risks,
such as currency fluctuations and political and economic instability. So if you
are considering foreign investments,
you may want to consult with a financial professional.
There are no guarantees, but by following the above suggestions, you may
be able to take advantage of what looks
to be a fairly favorable investment environment for 2015. While you should
make most of your investment decisions
based on long-term considerations, it’s
always a good idea to be attuned to
what’s happening in the world around
you — and to respond appropriately.

“ L o o k
at those
y o u n g
folks and their devices.” As much
as older people try to deny it, they
are just as guilty as their nephew at
that holiday party who “wouldn’t get
off his dang cellphone.” Heck, these
days even toddlers are guilty, screaming and begging to use their mom’s
iPhone to play Fruit Ninja.
Phones are great. You can call your
mom, text your friends, play games
while you’re stuck in a waiting room,
organize your life. You’re connected
to the Internet. When you look down
at that small screen (or huge screen
if you purchased the new iPhone 6
Plus) you are all of a sudden pulled
— sucked — out of wherever you
are and put right in the center of the
entire world, which is now at your
fingertips.
In all honesty, it can be distracting.
Waiting to get your tooth pulled at the
dentist? Read a movie review. About
to fall asleep in class? Find a new
recipe. On a long car ride? Watch a
funny video. There are never-ending
possibilities and I can’t deny that
it’s handy. It’s fun. It makes the slow
moments in your life relaxing instead
of excruciating.
But when is it too much?
In my opinion, it’s too much when
you are in the company of others who
are there to be in your company. Of
course, texting happens. Phone calls
happen. But for most people, that’s
unfortunately not even close to where
it ends. I have been around people of
all ages who will start texting as you
are speaking to them. You’ll be in the
middle of a story and they will suddenly glance down at their phone and
start writing to people. They’ll look
up and giggle, “Don’t worry. I’m still
listening.”
Imagine if you were talking to someone and right in the middle of your
story the person turned away and said
to someone next to them, “Yeah that
was a super hilarious cat video! LOL!”
I am willing to bet most people would
not answer by saying, “That’s fine. I’ll
just keep talking.” Personally, I would
find that person extremely rude and
be highly offended. So why is it different when a phone is the communication of choice?
When you’re laying on a beach on
vacation and the waves are crashing rhythmically against the smooth,
cool sand, and the sun is setting on
the horizon, and the first thought
you have is, “I have to post this to
Instagram” — I think that is too much
— when your vacation doesn’t seem to
exist unless others see it.
When your family is having an Ugly
Sweater Party and you make everyone gather around you so you can
take a group photo to post to Facebook
— I think that is too much — when it’s
not funny unless others are “liking” it
and telling you how funny it is.
Once in a while, put down your
phone. Enjoy a date without running
into the bathroom and taking a photo
of your outfit. Eat a meal without telling everyone what you ordered. Hang
out with your friend without texting
other people. Look at something beautiful without wondering if it would
need a filter or not. Share a joke with
your family without having to validate it with other people.
And please, please, please — do not
give your children a cell phone. I
assure you that 10 year olds do not
need an iPhone in any possible way.
Let them enjoy their childhood without the need to post about it online.

Hunting recaps from around the Valley
The Great
Outdoors
RALPH
TRUE
Trout fishing on club ponds
were extremely slow for
members at Whitinsville and
Uxbridge Rod & Gun clubs
annual ice derbies recently,
but the Singletary Rod & Gun
Club had their annual trout
derby this past Sunday and
had good results. Many brown
trout were caught on jigs and
ice tilts by 10 a.m.! Some rainbow trout were also caught by
the end of the ice derby.
Anglers fishing on local
lakes and ponds did even better catching pickerel, bass and
yellow perch on live shiners.
Numerous sportsmen have
made their own fishing boxes
to transport all of their fishing gear, and a cooking setup
inside the box to keep them
well fed during there fishing
expedition. No ice fishing
trip would be complete without venison for the hungry
anglers.
Goose hunters also had a
number of slow days hunting
in their favorite fields. Birds
were extremely cautious flying over sets of decoys and
often flared away from a hunter before they were in range
for a good shot. Although a
few hundred geese are spread
throughout the Valley, most
had found refuge in private
fields that do not allow hunt-
ing. The geese had also been
unpredictable, often feeding
in one field and then going to
feed at another the next day.
Setting out a number of decoys
in the early morning hours
and waiting for a few hours
with no shooting, prompted
some hunters to leave their
fields early only to have the
geese fly into the field after
they had left. Now that the
fields have a good coating of
snow on them, field shooting
has come to an abrupt stop
and goose hunting is now limited to rivers and open water.
Patience and determination is
indeed the name of the game
if you want to harvest a few
geese for table fare before Feb.
14.
Waterfowl sportsmen are
going to see a big increase
in their federal hunting
stamp this year. The stamp
that is required by waterfowl
sportsmen will cost $25 this
year, which is a $10 increase.
I would not be surprised to
see the state try to increase
their stamp next year as well.
This money is hopefully well
spent by the two agencies to
protect wetlands for all forms
of waterfowl throughout the
country and state. The Lacky
Dam pond restoration project a number of years ago
in Uxbridge and Sutton was
mostly funded by stamp monies and Ducks Unlimited.
Thousands of acres are protected each year with the
money, and it is one tax that I
do not mind paying.
The upcoming sportsmen’s
shows are slated to start next
month. The largest show in

angler in the warmer months but still enjoys his ice fishing.
our area is the Springfield
Sportsmen’s Show, which
draws thousands of hunters
and fishermen annually. Be
sure to mark your calendar
for Feb. 19-22. Outfitters will
have numerous booths at the
show making it easy to schedule your next hunting or fishing trip and the latest hunting
and fishing gear will be on
display and sold.
This year’s New England
Fishing & Outdoors show
will be held in Boxborough at
the Holiday Inn starting Feb.
6 and ending on Feb 8. Last
year’s show at the Centrum
in Worcester did not draw the
outdoors people that it had
in the previous years and the
promoters are hoping that
their new agenda will bring a
lot more interest from sports-
men. Time will tell! The New
England Saltwater Fishing
Show in Rhode Island will be
held on Feb. 27 to March 1,
this year. More on this great
show in the coming weeks.
Sportsmen that have been
purchasing some new hunting clothes for this year have
a hard time finding quality
clothing that was once made
in America. Even the major
top fishing and hunting retail
stores no longer carry clothing made in the good old USA!
I recently purchased a good
pair of walking shoes from a
major retailer that promotes
American made footwear,
but after checking them out
at home I soon realized they
too had been made in China.
I give up!
The hard freeze of the past
two weeks has made ideal
conditions for Mass. Fish &
Wildlife personnel to clean
and check wood duck boxes
throughout the state. These
boxes have had a great success
rate for wood ducks nesting
season every spring. It will
not be long before spring and
the migrating wood ducks will
again return to where they
were born and raised often
using the same boxes.
This past Monday, prior to
the blizzard, my brother Ken,
his son Mark and myself jig
fished a local pond for some
yellow perch. The results
were good! It will probably be
the last trip ice fishing for a
while due to the heavy snow.
I am ready for spring!

Creative multipurpose tips
In today’s economy it’s important
to get the most use out of the products you buy. Thanks to some creative
repurposing, many ordinary items can
do double duty all around the house.
Read on for some unusual uses for
everyday things.
And remember readers, send in your
best tips and you’ll be in the running
to win a three course Dinner for Two
at the Publick House!
***
Bamboo Skewers: Not just for shish
kabob or fruit arrangements, a package of inexpensive wooden skewers
come in handy! Use them to test the
doneness of cakes; to easily turn doughnuts and other foods when deep-frying;
and insert into cake layers to invisibly
stabilize a crooked confection.
Wooden skewers are also useful in
the workshop. To camouflage a narrow nail hole, dip the end of a skewer
in white glue, push it into the wall,
break it off and paint over. The most
creative use of all? I once caught my
niece using one of the wooden sticks
as a hands-free Oreo dipper. She just
stabbed the middle cream and dunked
the whole cookie into milk!
***
Aluminum Foil: Hate to iron? Place
a sheet of tinfoil under the ironing
board cover (above the foam but below
the cloth) to boost the heat of the iron
and get the job done more efficiently
and quickly! Run out of steel wool
pads? Crumple up a ball
of tinfoil and use to clean
pans (not non-stick). And
did you wonder why
grandma had a sheet of
tinfoil taped behind the
radiator? The shiny surface reflects the heat and
boosts the warmth.
***
Vodka: Is your potpourri losing its
scent? Toss in a capful of vodka and
mix it up to renew fragrance in the
dried flower mix. Want your fresh
flowers to last a bit longer? Simply
add a few drops of vodka along with a
teaspoon of sugar to the water in the
vase. The vodka kills bacteria, extending the life of the blooms. And you can
whip up an effective air freshener with
vodka. To do: In a spray bottle, mix
together six ounces water (distilled
if possible), one ounce of vodka, and
your choice of essential oil (about 20-30
drops). Shake up and spray!
***
Dental Floss: Hanging a picture and
don’t have any wire? Doubled up dental
floss is strong enough to substitute on
lightweight pictures; Are photos stuck
together? Instead of pulling apart, lessen the risk of damage by gently shimmying the floss between the photos to
pry them off. Swaging holiday greenery? Green mint dental floss serves
as a strong (and invisible) tie to wind
around garlands to hang down stair-
ways or along a mantle.
And unflavored dental
floss can also be used to

floss even works as a

Here are some additional multipurpose ideas:
• Have extra roof shingles? Stow
a few in your trunk during winter
weather. If you get stuck, wedge the
shingle under the tire for traction.
• Need to clean a grout stain?
Saturate a cotton ball in bleach and
place it on the stain until it fades out.
• Or place a few drops of essential
oil on a cotton ball and put in your car
ashtray or other niche to discreetly
refresh the whole car.
• Save plastic newspaper sleeves.
The long bags protect shoes from other
clothing when packing a suitcase.
• Wet boots from winter weather?
Stuff newspaper inside your shoes and
they’ll dry out faster.
• Newspaper also works to prevent
odors in thermos bottles between uses.
Just pack crumpled newspaper into
the bottle before closing to store.
• Stuff Styrofoam packing peanuts
into a beanbag chair to puff it back up
without spending a dime!
• Rejuvenate a grungy sponge with
ordinary salt! Just soak sponges (and
mop heads) in a solution of one quarter cup salt to one quart of water.

McKenna
Blackstone Valley Tribune
McKenna ready to tackle challenges in
18th Worcester District
continued from page A1
­­­
while to get used to. I’m certainly humbled by the amount of support and the
responsibility that I do realize is put on
my by winning the election and having the people decide they want me to
represent these four towns in Boston.
It certainly is a responsibility I take
seriously.”
McKenna said his immediate action
as a state representative was to transition what he presented on the campaign
trail to what he would actually do in
Boston. One of his first priorities is to
work to make his district, and the state,
better for growing businesses.
“I want more people to have ideas,
like opening a small coffee shop, and I
don’t want them to feel like in order for
people to open a business in Main Street
they have to battle licensing and zoning
and taxing and regulation and insurance, but feel like they have a pathway
to be creative and pursue a passion
rather than just a job,” he said.
Among his early bills that he has
either filed or expressed support for are
an action limiting the cost of filing and
LLC Fee, something Fattman also supported, an act to repeal the Pacheco Law
that he said forces towns and communities to hire unionized labor for their
major construction projects, and he
hopes to be a part of several committees
including those focusing on economic development in emerging markets,
small business, professional licensure
and regulatory oversight. Overall his
goal is to make government less burdensome.
“The government needs to be there to
protect people, but I don’t think it needs
to overburden people,” said McKenna.
“That’s not to say we don’t need a government. We certainly do. We don’t
need a government to say you can put
a coffee shop on this corner but not on
that corner — you know, things like
that.”
One of McKenna’s other major priorities is a focus on mental health and
substance abuse having worked with
YOU, Inc. during his campaign.
“Often times, behavioral health, I
feel, becomes the stepchild to say, physical disabilities,” he said. “If you walk
into a hospital and say ‘I broke my arm’
you’re going to get a cast. If you walk
in and say ‘I’m depressed, I’m suicidal,
I have bipolar,’ it’s a lot more difficult
to see and treat that. I think it doesn’t
always receive equal funding and attention and I saw that firsthand working
with YOU Inc. and I want to make sure
that gets the attention it deserves as
well.”
Like his predecessor, McKenna won a
race that some thought could lean more
towards a Democrat victory, but with
several Republican victories bringing
the party’s representation in Boston to
a much higher level, including in the
governor’s office, McKenna feels the
trend speaks to the change the people
want to see.
“I think it’s the public stating that
they’ve had enough of the government
intruding on their lives,” he said. “If
you ask the public to describe government in Massachusetts I think you’ll
get a common theme that it’s too big
and burdensome and too much a part
of their lives. I think they see conservative ideals and Republican ideas as
more independent liberties or freedoms
and a cutting back on this government
that is too much a part of their lives.”
While he is young, McKenna feels
he is ready to be a state lawmaker and
represent his towns to the best of his
ability. While he understands there is
always something to learn, he hopes
that working together with his fellow
legislators on Beacon Hill and staying
firm to his campaign promises will be
enough to put his district and the state
in the right direction over the next two
years.

News Briefs
Fattman amendment
passes the Senate
SUMMER IN JANUARY
BOSTON — On the State Senate’s
first day in session, a further amendment offered by State Senator Ryan
C. Fattman (R-Webster) passed unanimously to increase transparency in
votes taken on Beacon Hill. The Fattman
amendment mandates all recorded
votes taken in a senate committee shall
be posted online no later than 48 hours
on the General Court website.
“This amendment makes the
State Senate more accountable and
transparent to the citizens of the
Commonwealth,” said Fattman. “Votes
by elected officials are sometimes lost
in the darkness of night or behind the
closed doors of a legislative hearing.
My amendment posts committee votes
online so that voters are able to track
how their elected officials are voting”
Fattman concluded.
The Rules of the Senate help the body
of 40 to operate and govern itself over
the next two years, and is the first formal debate of every legislative session.
Massachusetts has consistently ranked
low in government transparency laws.
Most recently the Sunshine Institute
graded Massachusetts state government an “F” for transparency. Each
legislative session new rules are voted
upon in the House of Representatives
and State Senate for how each chamber
will function.
“I am proud that this common sense
reform of posting how we vote online
had the support of both Democrats and
Republicans,” said Fattman.
Fattman’s office can be reached at
617-722-1420.

MRMC celebrates kick-off for
baby friendly initiative
MILFORD — The maternity department
at Milford Regional Medical Center celebrated the kick-off of their Baby Friendly
Hospital Initiative on Wednesday, Jan. 21,
with a special presentation by Dr. Barbara
L. Philipp, medical director of The Birth
Place at Boston Medical Center and a leader in breastfeeding medicine, who spoke
about the significance of becoming designated as a Baby Friendly Hospital.
The Baby Friendly Initiative is a global
program sponsored by the World Health
organization (WHO) and the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to
encourage and recognize hospitals and
birthing centers that offer an optimal level
of care for infant feeding. This is accomplished by completing ten rigorous steps
to successful breastfeeding that, according
to maternity nurse manager Rose Galimi,
can take anywhere from three to five years
to achieve.
Milford Regional’s Baby-Friendly team
includes nurses, lactation consultants,
obstetricians and pediatricians who
are working closely to implement Baby
Friendly practices at the Medical Center.
Always one step ahead of the curve, Galimi
says the maternity department has already
made some headway on their journey to
achieving Baby Friendly designation.
Currently, the maternity department
offers many of the Baby Friendly practices
such as skin-to skin mother-baby bonding,
rooming-in, and using pacifiers only for
medical procedures. These practices are
beneficial to all babies and moms and medical studies have shown they help improve

AUBURN — The Centers for Disease

that emergency rooms have seen an
increase among children and adolescents in traumatic brain injuries by
upwards of 60 percent within the past
decade.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) occurs
when an external mechanical force
causes brain dysfunction. Typically,
TBI occurs through a jolt or blow to
the head, or a penetrating head injury, which then disrupts normal brain
function. TBIs can range from mild to
severe, although the Center for Disease
Control cautions us to remember that

January is National Winter Sports
Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness
Month and health professionals
throughout the country are asking the
public to be extremely vigilant regarding safety habits during winter sports,
and to be aware of the warning signs
of TBI.
“It’s very important for people
engaged in winter sports recreation to
recognize the signs and symptoms of
TBI. These symptoms include pressure
in the head, feeling dazed or stunned,
any loss of consciousness, mood changes, vomiting, sensitivity to light, and/
or noise and confusion,” said South
County Physical Therapy, Inc. (SCPT)
Executive Director Eric Cardin.
“Memory loss and mood swings can
occur later, as TBI develops and lingers.”
Research presented at the 2013 Annual
Meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science showed
that concussions can cause long-term
negative effects to the brain that can
last for decades after the initial trauma.
In 2014, the National Football League
reached a settlement which would
award former players millions of dollars
due to concussion-related brain injuries. These athletes claimed that later
in life those concussion-related brain
injuries caused dementia, Alzheimer’s,
mood disorders, and, in some extreme
cases, led to death.
Annually in the United States, over 30
million children participate in an organized sport. In 2013, in Massachusetts
alone, over 4,400 concussions and head
injuries were reported in surveys submitted to the state by 360 public and
private schools.
Findings such as these have health
professionals taking a closer look on
what can be done to help mitigate the
devastating and sometimes fatal effects
of TBIs and to help prevent them whenever possible.
For 30 years, SCPT has been dedicated to the prevention and rehabilitation
of sport-related injuries. The company
is a member of STOP Sports Injuries,
which raises awareness of the long-
term consequences of overuse and trauma injuries, and offers comprehensive
sports medicine services that address
all conditioning, injury prevention and
rehabilitation needs.
“In Massachusetts, all trainers, physicians, and nurses who work or volunteer at a Massachusetts Interscholastic
Athletic Association (MIAA) member
school are required each year to participate in an approved concussion awareness program in grades 6-12. The law
further requires that parents of children
and non-clinical staff and volunteers,
who participate in an extracurricular
activity at those schools, document that
they have received head injury education annually,” Cardin said. “While this
is a great start, we feel there’s so much
more that can and should be done.”
Recently, SCPT has been developing
an in-depth concussion incident reduction program that involves a specific
training program for student athletes.
The program is a series of strength
training exercises designed for the core,
neck, and for improving balance. While
still in its early stages, this type of
training is showing promising signs
in helping those players who are most
vulnerable to concussions.
“Weak necks, poor balance and posture may make an athlete more susceptible to a potential injury. We presented
this strength training program to the
Curry College girls’ soccer team over
the summer. The coach was so pleased
that he will be incorporating these exercises with his team going forward,”
Cardin continued. “It’s vital that we
continue to do research and find innovative ways of helping to decrease TBIs
in both children and adults. Education
and research are necessary to establish
effective programs for combating the
impact TBI can have on any athlete.”
The CDC offers a Heads Up Youth
Sports Awareness Initiative that gives
guidelines and best practices for overall
sports safety. To find out more, visit

Douglas Library Book
Discussion
DOUGLAS — The next meeting of the
Douglas Library Book Group will be discussing
Kate Horsley’s “Confessions of a Pagan Nun”
on Tuesday, Feb. 10, at 6:30 p.m. Cloistered
in a stone cell at the monastery of Saint Brigit,
a sixth-century Irish nun secretly records the
memories of her Pagan youth, interrupting
her assigned task of transcribing Augustine
and Patrick. Gwynneve writes of her village’s
pigkeepers and fishermen, their petty squabbles and lusty warrior sagas. She writes of her
fiercely independent mother, whose skill with
healing plants and inner strength she inherited.
She writes of her druid teacher, the brusque but
magnetic Giannon, who first introduced her to
the mysteries of written language.
But disturbing events at the cloister keep
intervening. As the monastery is rent by vague
and fantastic accusations, Gwynneve’s words
become the one force that can save her from

Whitinsville Christian’s postseason push underway
as Crusaders down Pioneer Valley
BY JON GOUIN
SPORTS CORRESPONDENT
NORTHBRIDGE — It’s an uncommon
theme for the Whitinsville Christian
boys’ varsity basketball squad, but 12
games into the season and the Crusaders
have begun their push for a postseason berth. Typically right in the thick
of things at the top of the Dual Valley
Conference, Whitinsville Christian
entered a Tuesday, Jan. 20 contest at just
5-6 on the year.
“It’s different this year,” Whitinsville
head coach Brady Bajema said. “We
have smaller numbers right now, smaller in height and in actual numbers as
well. It just kind of goes in waves at small
schools like this and that’s where we’re
at right now.”
The Crusaders hosted Pioneer Valley
Christian Academy of Springfield in a
rematch of a game played on Dec. 16,
which Whitinsville Christian won going
away, 59-16.
While the Crusaders may not have
played their best on this night, the results
were similar with a 48-29 win to even
their record at 6-6.
“They’re much improved,” noted
Bajema of the Eagles’ (3-7) play following
the win.
The Crusaders now need to win half of
their eight remaining games in order to
earn a spot in the Central Mass. Division
3 district tournament, with the brackets
to be announced Feb. 20.
“We’ve got two seniors and I don’t
want [them] to only have eight games
left,” said Bajema of team co-captain Ian
Haire (12 points, 10 rebounds) and Josh
Schneider (5 points, 6 rebounds). “It can’t
be those two seniors on their own, there
has to be a buy-in from the whole team.
Sophomore guard Chris Tulley of Whitinsville
Christian leaps to defend a shot during a
nice Crusaders’ win last week.
That’s what we’re looking to accomplish
— get a buy-in from everyone — to make
this push, to scratch and claw for every
win, cause that’s what we’ll need to do.”
The opening quarter of this one started
slowly for both squads, as it was only 4-2
at the midpoint of the first period. But by
quarter’s end, the Crusaders had built a
14-2 advantage to take to the second quarter, largely due to the play of Haire, who
scored eight points in the frame.
The second quarter saw the Crusaders
continue to play pretty solid defense
while building a 13-point lead at 20-7
with two minutes to go. The big play of
the period came at the buzzer, as junior
Owen Brookhouse (6 points, 5 rebounds)
banked home a long 3-pointer from the
wing to make it a 25-9 game.
“We have some good athletes in that
junior class and those are the guys that
we need to make that push, and they’re
so capable. We need these guys, and they
can do it,” Bajema said of his junior class
players, led by Brookhouse and Spencer
Gorman (8 points).
The third quarter saw the Whitinsville
Christian defense fall off a bit, and a
handful of turnovers led the Eagles to put
together a 9-4 run to make it 29-18. That
brief success was followed by a 6-0 push
by the Crusaders, who took a 35-18 lead
into the final quarter.
While Pioneer Valley had their best
quarter of the evening in the fourth, it
wouldn’t much matter. The Crusaders
won the final frame, 13-11, to pull out the
48-29 win while earning their sixth win
of the year.

Sophomore Chris Tulley made sure
his ‘Saders held on, burying a pair of 3’s
late to give him 11 points in all to go with
four rebounds, a block and a steal. Junior
Noah Carter led the Eagles with 13 points
and five boards, while Idriss Koyate had
seven points in the losing effort.
This week, the Crusaders travel to Blackstone-Millville (0-12) on
Jan. 30 before heading to Dual Valley
Conference-leading Hopedale High (10-1)
on Feb. 3.
Tigers boys’ basketball can’t contain Quaboag in 76-38 loss
WARREN — Will Watkins
had too much offensive firepower for the Douglas High
boys’ varsity basketball team
as Quaboag Regional rolled
to a 76-38 victory on Jan. 25.
Watkins poured in a gamehigh 27 points, including 22
in first half action, as the
Cougars built a 42-18 lead at
intermission.
Watkins drained five
3-pointers and Quaboag
finished with 11 as they
improved to 11-2. The Tigers
dropped to 7-6.
Leading the charge for
Douglas was Tyler Barsamian
(12 points), John Maguire (8
points, 10 rebounds) and Josh
Osipitan (8 points).

Tantasqua girls’ basketball continues to roll
with win over Rams

third grade, and we’re best friends on
and off the court,” she said.
But Northbridge hung tough with
Tantasqua in first half action. In a low
scoring affair, the Warriors went into
the locker room ahead by nine points,
20-11.
“I thought we played a pretty good
first half,” Northbridge head coach
Matt Gauthier said, adding that his
team needed to continue to limit the
Warriors’ scoring in the second half.
But Fleshman and junior Gabby
Roberts (17 points) put an end to that
idea, as Fleshman netted five points
in the third quarter’s first 45 seconds
and Roberts added six more later in
the frame.
Tantasqua ultimately won third
quarter scoring, 15-9, to push ahead,
35-20, entering the final frame.
“They are very, very aggressive,
and that starts with Claudia and
Gabby,” Gauthier said of Fleshman
and Roberts.
But, as Goyette and Fleshman noted,
it’s a total team effort that contributes
to a victory. Four other players scored
and 10 players pulled down at least one
rebound in second half action alone.
The Rams, now under .500 with a
record of 6-7, will attempt to finish
10-10 or better to reach the Central
Mass. Division 3 district tournament.
“We’re going to claw and scratch
our way to possibly get into districts,”
Gauthier said. “We’re in district mode
right now — win and advance. We
have to think that attitude because if
we don’t we’re not going to make it
into the districts.”
For Goyette, his team’s progression
hasn’t come as a surprise.
“We’ve seen this coming,” he said
of the once sophomores and freshmen
maturing into seniors and juniors.
“Now that experience is really paying
off this year.”
It’s been a dream season for
Fleshman, but they hope it is nowhere
near over.
“At the beginning of the season we
set out five goals,” she said.
The first was to beat their rivals in
Quaboag Regional, which they did.
Next up was to qualify for the Western
Mass. Division 2 district tournament,
and with 10-plus wins that goal has
became a reality.
The third goal is to be the best team
in the Southern Worcester County
League, which very well could happen.
The last two are much loftier, which
are to win districts and advance to the
state tournament.
“We still have to get better,” said
Goyette. “You want to peak [during
the postseason].”

MILLBURY — After starting
its season at 0-10, the Millbury
High boys’ varsity basketball team had a turnaround
week last week, defeating host
Narragansett Regional on
Jan. 21, 53-47, and following
that up with a home victory over Southbridge High on
Jan. 23, 65-61.
In the win over the now 2-12
Pioneers, the Woolies’ start-
ing five all had a helping hand
in the victory. Evan Cano led
the charge with 20 points,
while Michael Magnant (13
points, 10 rebounds) and
Tyler Smith (10 points, 10
rebounds) posted double-doubles. Gordon Siebenhaar (14
points) and Antonio Venturim
(8 points) also had solid games
for Millbury.

Beltone hearing aids changing lives
of users all over region
AIDS
continued from page A1
­­­
in addition to other functions, the
hearing aids are perfect for any situation. And since the electronic compatibility works like a remote control, the
volume and settings can be changed
straight from an iPhone.
Calandra currently has four pre-programmed settings for his hearing aids.
When he enters a certain environment, he simply pushes a button and
lets the technology do the rest.
“As a hearing instrument alone, it
provides me with the most dynamic
range,” said Calandra, who can still
take part in the hobbies and activities
he loves because of Beltone (including
acting at Worcester’s Hanover Theater
with his daughters and playing both
the piano and saxophone).
In addition, Calandra is thrilled
about the discreet nature of the product. As opposed to conspicuous models
of years past, Beltone First aids are
essentially invisible behind the user’s
ear.
“People don’t notice it at all. And
they think I’m checking my email or
sending a text when I’m actually modifying the settings,” he said.
Calandra isn’t the only patient with
glowing reviews for the technology.
“Everyone I know who’s been fitted
for it has had a great experience,”
Slade said. “The technology is cutting
edge. Just the clarity alone is great,
but the iPhone utilization is excellent.”
The product, Slade added, also helps
users by providing needed therapy
for deteriorated nerves. Without intervention, he warned that hearing loss
can eventually cause problems that
aren’t correctible through the use of
hearing aids.
“I can help people today that I
couldn’t help five years ago because
of the technology levels,” said Slade,
who noted that hearing loss has several causes, including exposure to loud
noises, genetic predisposition, drug
use, and head injuries. “It’s so vital to
get tested.”
Beltone First is also compatible with
iPad and iPod Touch, as well as other
Apple, Inc. products. Beltone New
England is a dispensary of Beltone
Electronics Corporation, based in
Chicago.

Relay for Life launches season with
kickoff meeting
SOUTHBRIDGE — The Relay for Life
of the Greater Southbridge Area is only
a few months away, and with that the
Relay’s committee held a kickoff event
on Jan. 19 at the Knights of Columbus
in Southbridge, where representatives
from the many teams stopped by to celebrate another year of fighting to find a
cure for cancer. During the ceremony it
was announced that the 2015 Relay was
moved the weekend of June 13 in order
to prevent conflicts with the Relay in
Worcester. The event included several small fundraisers, door prizes, and
countless whimsical hats to honor longtime Relayer Bob Chernisky who was
well known for wearing a different hat
for every lap he walked during the yearly Relay event.
With the Super Bowl right around the corner,
the Southbridge Relay For Life held a fitting
fundraiser where participants could pay for
boxes on a bracket in hopes of having the
winning score for the game.

Todd Sansoucy, of Dudley, shares his story of survival after revealing he has been declared
cancer free after a battle with esophageal cancer. Sansoucy has been a member of team
“What the Dickens?!” for several years.
Lee Gendron, of Thompson, Conn., shows off his unique choice of headwear for the kickoff
event.
Jo-Ann Channell makes a call to action asking participants in Relay to help the Southbridge
Relay become an American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network member. The Network
advocates for cancer awareness on the national level.
Just a few of the door
prizes made available
to participants just
for walking in the
door.
Plenty off good food was made available for the guests to the kickoff event. This particular
participant wore a very fitting hat to the buffet.

COFFEE program shows it is ‘alive and well’
COFFEE
continued from page A1
­­­
dents that we have,” said Maliff.
“The students are more needy in
terms of having more emotional
issues, behavioral issues, some
with pretty tough background
that seem to be getting a little
bit worse and more frequent in
terms of the kids that we have
with those issues. So we had to
look at what we do and sort of
change the way we try to service
or reach them based upon the
students that were referred to
us.”
Maliff said those involved
with the program have had to
look at projection of what students would be coming into the
program and adapt, and even
the simple act of removing “project” from the program’s name
showed they see their students
as more than just projects they
need to work on. The program
services anywhere from 45 to
50 students from seventh grade
to twelfth that come from all
over northern Connecticut and
central Massachusetts as long as
they are within an hour drive to
the COFFEE facility.
Maliff called the opportunity
to got the conference an exciting
one.
“It’s exciting for the staff,” he
said. “Even for the ones that are
not coming, it’s a testament to
them. Hopefully it’ll be exciting
for the students. We’ve told them
and maybe they’ll get some perspective that this is about them.
They are the ones that make this
place work and have it function
to the best that we can do.”
Rita Haley, now in her second
year with COFFEE, serves as the
school adjustment councilor and
clinician and runs the therapeutic component of the program.
She explained that programs
like COFFEE have become even
more important for schools or
regions to provide because of
the growing emphasis on mental
illness and the wellbeing of children that may need a little bit of
extra attention in high school.
“Definitely in my experience
there’s more prevalence of mental illness among school aged
students now. Whether things
are over diagnosed or they were
under diagnosed in the past I
think is the question. There is
definitely a change in the presenting needs that students have
in order to be successful learners,” Haley said.
She added that in the past conduct disorders and other similar issues made up a lot of the
problems students faced and
small settings were more than
enough to level them out and
stabilize them. In today’s world
she said the issues seems to be
less behavioral and more of a
mental health issue so there are
internal factors that complicate
the process. She complimented Oxford saying that she has
spent a lot of time handling case
management and working with
outside figures like parents and
school staff and Oxford has done
an exceptional job of providing
for the students in the COFFEE
program.
“I think that it’s easy to make
a judgment about the kids,” said
Haley, “but they have some really challenging hardships in their
lives and they need compassion.
Not an excuse, they need rules
and structure and compassion
and support so I’m really exciting to say this is what we do,
this is who we are and these
are the kids we have and their
successes.”
Haley will join Maliff in South
Carolina for the conference
along with the COFFEE program’s director Kevin Wells, a
former principal of Oxford High
School who was fresh out of college and starting his career in
Oxford when the COFFEE program began. Wells said the staff
works to provide a very therapeutic environment with small
class sizes and regimented classes and offered a look at the real
keys to the program’s success.
“We offer a vocational training
or occupational training along
with academics,” he said. “A lot
of these students can’t go to a traditional school where they have
seven class periods that rotate.
Some come from schools of over
2,000 and they get lose in the
shuffle. Here the class sizes are
small, they receive academics

Douglas High School
DOUGLAS — Calling all Douglas High
School Band and Chorus Alumni — The staff
of the Douglas High School Music Department
would like to invite all DHS Music Department
Alumni to join us in a concert this coming
spring.
Alumni would include former members of
chorus, instrumental band, and color guard
(batons, rifles, flags). The concert is scheduled
to take place on Saturday, May 30, 2015. The
day will include a cordial gathering of alumni,
scheduled rehearsals throughout the day for
each section, and will conclude with an outdoor
concert, featuring performances by the chorus,
Blue Light Special, concert band, and color
guard. A special segment of the production will
include all returning alumni in performance
together with the current band and chorus members. What an outstanding opportunity to gather
with old friends to share the joy of what it was
that brought everyone together in the first place
– music!
To get involved, please access the online survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5XHJSNP. The survey is short and will provide
the Music Department with the necessary information to plan for this monumental event.
For further information, please contact Chorus
Director Al Denoncour, Band Director Gery
Elliott, or Colorguard Director Carol Manning
at 508-476-4100.
tional training, and in that training more often than not they are
doing community service hours
— I think over the last few years
COFFEE has really tried to get
the word out that we’re alive an
well. (The fact that) we will be
presenting at the National At
Risk Youth Conference really
is kudos to all of the people in
the program. It’s truly a team
approach.”
Wells said the representatives of COFFEE will not only
enjoy showing the strategies
they have employed for others
to use, but will also bring back
ideas to continue to improve the
program, something that has
Well’s excited for the future of
COFFEE as it continues to serve
the students of Oxford and surrounding communities in the
best way possible.
“Our responsibility is not
going to be to go down there and
do a few presentations to audiences and then pack our bags
and leave,” he said. “We certainly are going to take advantage
of being a part of sessions in
the audience of other programs.
What you want to try to do is
to not reinvent the wheel when
you can retrofit the wheel. We
want to share what we do with
programs and capture what’s
successful for other programs to
bring back here to COFFEE and
to Oxford.”

Grand Prize–Winning Recipes By Young Chefs
Whether as a sweet or savory way to end a
meal or a quick pick-me-up at any time, sandwich cracker snacks can be a great way to
grab a little wholesome goodness.
Sydney’s Rice and Chicken
(NAPS)
You could have a secret weapon for
keeping your family healthy right in
your own home: your kitchen table.
That’s because research shows that
children who help cook dinner with
their family are more likely to have
a healthier diet with more fruits and
vegetables. To help families spend
more time around the kitchen table
and improve their lives, the UNCLE
BEN’S® Brand launched the Ben’s
Beginners™ Cooking Contest. It strives
to inspire healthful lifelong eating habits by getting children interested in
cooking at an early age.
Through the contest, the UNCLE
BEN’S® Brand has been able to award
nine school cafeteria makeovers in
just two years. Its two grand-prize winners have been able to impact their
schools for years to come with their
entries. Check out the updates from
their schools and their prize-winning
recipes below.
Sydney Fialkow from
Atlanta, Ga.
Sydney Fialkow from Atlanta,
Ga., won the first Ben’s Beginners™
Cooking Contest Grand Prize in 2012
for Epstein School. She and her mother,
Stacy, cooked up her winning rice and
chicken recipe and rallied their community to support her entry by voting
online. Epstein School was able to use
the prize funds as a springboard to
launch its capital campaign and update
many areas of the school. It began by
purchasing new seating for the cafeteria and a yogurt machine. Check out
Sydney’s winning recipe:
Claire’s Crockpot Chicken and Rice Supreme
SYDNEY’S RICE AND CHICKEN
1
cup chopped onions
4–6 boneless skinless chicken
breast fillets (about 11⁄2 lb.)
1⁄2
tsp. salt
1⁄2 tsp. coarse-ground black pepper
1⁄2
tsp. garlic powder
2
cups chicken broth
1 cup
UNCLE
BEN’S®
ORIGINAL CONVERTED® Brand Rice
1⁄2
cup chopped red bell pepper
1⁄2
cup chopped green bell pepper
1
cup frozen green peas
1
tsp. chopped fresh cilantro
1
tsp. dried oregano
As needed, yellow food coloring
(optional)
Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray glass
baking dish evenly with cooking spray.
Place onions in baking dish; top with
chicken fillets. Season the chicken
evenly with salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
Pour chicken broth into baking dish
and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove baking dish from oven.
Transfer chicken breast fillets to container and reserve.
In baking dish, add rice, bell peppers,
peas, cilantro and oregano. If desired,
add 2 shakes of yellow food coloring.
Stir rice mixture.
Arrange reserved chicken breast fillets over rice.
Cover and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove from oven, gently stir rice
mixture, cover with foil and bake an
additional 10 minutes or until chicken
is fully cooked, rice is tender and all
liquid is absorbed.
Claire Noles from Boaz, Ala.
In 2013, the second year of the contest,
Claire Noles of Boaz, Ala., won the Grand
Prize for her school, Corley Elementary.
Since winning, Corley purchased new
tables for the cafeteria, a sound system
and projection screen with the prize
funds. The school is currently still finalizing its new-and-improved cafeteria to
unveil later this school year. The updated cafeteria equipment and lunchroom
facility will help the school prepare food
on-site; lunch was previously prepared
at another location and driven in each
day.
“All in all, this prize money will
greatly impact the students in our community by giving them an opportunity
to eat freshly prepared and healthier meals,” said Rachel Noles, Claire’s
mother. “This has been the gift that just
keeps on giving!”
Check out Claire’s delicious and easy
recipe:
CLAIRE’S CROCKPOT CHICKEN
AND RICE SUPREME

1
can of cream of mushroom
soup
1⁄2

1
tsp of salt
1
tsp of pepper
1
tsp of butter
1
tsp of “secret seasoning” (celery salt)
1
bag of Uncle Ben’s Creamy
Four Cheese Rice
Mix all the ingredients together in
a crockpot and cook on low for 8–10
hours.

(NAPS)
If you’re like most Americans, you’ll
enjoy a snack today. According to a recent
Nielsen survey, nine out of 10 Americans
snack daily—and a quarter of them snack
three to five times a day.
That can be a good thing. As Temple
University points out, “Snacks provide an
important energy source throughout the
day.” The Center for Science in the Public
Interest adds that snacks are especially crucial for children for increased energy and
their ability to focus.
That said, those snacks should consist of
“real” food such as cheese, nuts and whole
grains. Fortunately, you can fuel yourself
and your family on the go with a number
of sweet and savory cracker sandwiches
that are portable, wholesome and made by
a company that’s been creating such snacks
for over 100 years.
In fact, Lance® recently improved its
line of Whole Grain Cracker Sandwiches
to include 11 grams of whole grains in each
package, in such varieties as Real Peanut
Butter, Real Cheddar Cheese and Real
Sharp Cheddar Cheese.
If you’re looking for a more extreme
burst of flavor, there are Bolds. These baked
crackers come in Buffalo Wing Blue Cheese,
Pizza, and Bacon Cheddar. Each has up to 3
grams of protein per serving to fuel fun and
adventure.
When hunger strikes, you may care to
consider Xtra Fulls. These have an extra
helping of freshly ground peanut butter and
up to 6 grams of fueling protein.
Alternatively, you can go classic with
the company’s iconic Toasty™, Toastchee®
or Captain’s Wafers® sandwiches. With a
wide range of flavor combinations, there is
a cracker sandwich for everyone.
All these snacks have no high-fructose
corn syrup, no preservatives and 0 grams
of trans fat.

Healthful Eating While Living Away From Home
(NAPS)
Being away on business or vacation
can mean frequent unhealthy fast food
or expensive restaurants but one clever
cook has the perfect solution.
The winner of the national “Away
From Home Cooking Recipe Contest,”
Lauren Wyler, created a delicious
travel-friendly one that can be made
in Extended Stay America’s fully
equipped hotel room kitchens. Chosen
from entries from around the country, Lauren’s Baja Fish Taco Tortas
were taste tested by Food Network host
Sunny Anderson, who also creates recipes for the hotel chain’s “Away From
Home Cooking” cookbook.
BAJA FISH TACO TORTAS WITH
SMOKY CILANTRO SLAW
BY LAUREN WYLER
Ingredients:
2 cups shredded cabbage mix
2 tablespoons ranch dressing
1 teaspoon chipotle hot sauce
¼ cup cilantro leaves, roughly
chopped
2 ripe avocados, peeled and pit
removed
4 tablespoons salsa verde
1 lime
1 pound cod
1 teaspoon cumin
4 torta or bolillo rolls, split in half
2 tablespoons oil
1¼ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, ranch dressing, hot sauce, chopped cilantro and ½
teaspoon salt. Stir until the slaw is well
mixed.
2. In a small bowl, place the
peeled avocado, salsa verde and ¼ teaspoon salt. Using a fork, roughly mash
and mix together.
3.
Cut the lime in half. Take one
of the halves and cut it into wedges to
serve with the finished tortas.

Chevy Trax a Strong Contender in
Sub-Compact Crossover Segment
Photo by Keith Griffin
The 2015 Chevrolet Trax is a sub-compact crossover that feels larger than its size.
BY KEITH GRIFFIN
The sub-compact crossover market
is about to explode in the U.S. and
Chevrolet is smartly positioned to take
full advantage. The Chevrolet Trax
is hitting the United States after two
successful years of global sales in 66
markets.
What makes it right for New England?
Good pricing, strong fuel economy, and
available all-wheel drive top the list of
its strong selling points. It also has a lot
of available technology not normally
found at its pricepoint.
The 2015 Chevrolet Trax is powered
by a 1.4-liter turbo engine rated at 138
horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. On
paper that doesn’t sound like much
but in 100 miles of driving around San
Diego I had no problems with acceleration and merging. It’s not going to win
any stoplight drag races but it’s also
not going to turn your knuckles white
merging on 93 North.
The six-speed automatic transmission is responsive under hard acceleration and never seems to hunt for the
right gear. The electronic power steering was also responsive and maneuvered the Trax well in tight parking
situations.
Another strong selling point is its
cargo capacity. It has up to 48.4 cubic
feet of cargo space with the rear seat
folded – and 18.7 cubic feet of storage space behind the split-folding rear
seatbacks. That’s more than Nissan
Juke and comparable to Kia Soul and
Jeep Renegade, its competition in the
segment.
The cargo area has a wide opening for
easily moving packages in and out. The
cargo cover also stores easily for when
you have larger items. Too many covers simply disengage and flop around
the cargo area, potentially becoming
deadly missiles in a collision.
One element of the Trax that is less
than endearing would be its multiple
storage compartments. There are 15
interior storage compartments including upper and lower storage in each
door, upper and lower glove box, upper
and lower center stack, left and right of
the center stack and left of the steering
wheel. It’s like Chevy had a competition among its designers to see who
could come up with the most ludicrous
storage compartment ideas.
Pricing is also another strong feature. The base LS trim level starts at
$20,995. It includes standard Chevrolet
MyLink infotainment with a 7-inch-diagonal touch screen, OnStar 4G LTE
with built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, segment-exclusive standard rearview camera system (excluding other GM vehicles),
rear fold-flat and front-passenger foldflat seats, USB port, air conditioning,
power locks and windows, power outside mirrors and remote keyless entry.
All-wheel drive is available for an additional $1,500, which is about as cheap
as you can add AWD to a vehicle.
The LT trim level starts at $22,445
and the LTZ at $25,030 (all prices are
before $875 destination charge). The
LTZ includes all the creature comforts
most drivers expect, including heated front seats, six-way power driver
seat, auto-dimming rearview mirror,
18-inch wheels, and rear park assist.
Adding those features to the LT trim
level adds $670 to the bottom line.
To be frank, the interior, while efficiently designed, leaves a little bit to
be desired. The interior gaps seemed
prominent. However, interior comfort isn’t an issue with the front seats
both accommodating and comfortable. The Trax is also a fairly quiet
car both under acceleration and at
cruising speeds thanks to an acoustic
windshield and other noise dampening
enhancements.
Fuel economy for the front-wheel
drive Trax models is 26-mpg city and
34-mpg highway, which is segment
leading, for a combined 29-mpg. AWD
drops those numbers to 24-mpg city
and 31-mpg highway for a combined
27-mpg. It’s a drop that doesn’t penalize you much with falling fuel prices.
According to the EPA, you’ll spend an
extra $100 a year.
This little compact also comes
packed with safety features such as10
standard airbags, including the segment’s only rear-seat-mounted thorax
air bags. Other standard safety features are ABS and electronic brake
force distribution, as well as cornering
brake control and brake assist. Rear
park assist is available on the LT and
LTZ trim levels.
The 2015 Chevrolet Trax is a good
choice for people who want the fuel
efficiency of a compact car but like
the tall seating position, high roof, and
cargo capacity of a crossover. Shop
it against vehicles like the Kia Soul,
Nissan Juke and Scion xB.
2015 Chevrolet Trax
THE BASICS
Price, base (with $875 destination):
$21,870 Fuel economy: 26-city/34-highway/29-combined Drivetrain: 1.4-liter
turbo Body: Two-row subcompact crossover.
THE SPECIFICS
Horsepower: 138 @ 4,900 rpm Torque:
148 @ 1,850 rpm Overall length: 168.5
in. Wheelbase: 100.6 in. Height: 65.9 in.

THE GOOD

THE BAD
Interior gaps, plain wheel covers, frivolous
storage spaces
THE BOTTOM LINE:
The 2015 Chevrolet Trax is a rightsized crossover for empty nesters or
folks with two children. Its cargo capacity and fuel efficiency make it a compelling small vehicle choice.
