DUDLEY – The town of Dudley is now accepting bids for the roof replacement project for the town’s municipal complex, setting the stage for the much-discussed ini-tiative to take place as early as this spring.

Bids are due on Feb. 13, at which time the Board of Selectmen will choose an entity to partner with to update the dilapidated roof. The project will cost an estimated $300,000 depending on the bids with funding approved during town meetings in 2018. The district has $336,000 set aside to per-form the upgrade.

Town Administrator Greg Balukonis said he feels confident that the bids will come in within budget and reiterated his past opinions that Dudley is timing its bid-ding process appropriately to avoid compe-tition with more high-profile projects from schools in the commonwealth.

“This is the time to do it because you’re not competing with other projects. Typically, the roofing companies are flat

out in the summer time, when they’re doing school roofs, so this is a good opportunity to do this project,” Balukonis said.

The roof project comes as a result of dete-riorating conditions to the PVC membrane roof that only came with a ten-year warran-ty when it was initially installed. That war-ranty has since expired and the membrane has given way leading to leaking and other issues in recent years. The new roof will be made of a more durable material and will come with a minimum 25-year warranty to ensure its longevity. The town spent $7,500 to hire an architect in 2018 that provided input for how the town should proceed with the replacement. In December, Balukonis quoted the maximum cost of the project at $355,000, but the $300,000 price tag rep-resents more realistic expectations.

Before closing the discussion, selectmen asked if there was any opportunity for local companies to submit a bid for the project. Balukonis said local entities are more than welcome to put in a bid, but they have to

DUDLEY – As Dudley’s Town Clerk, Ora Finn, prepares for her retirement, she and other town officials are looking to provide whatever resources necessary to allow the new Town Clerk the best opportuni-ty to succeed.

Dudley’s annual election set to take place on June 10, at which time Finn will vacate her long-held position in the town hall to make way for a new candidate to take the job. However, don’t expect Finn to jump right into retirement the day after the election. Finn approached selectmen in late January to talk about her exit strategy and proposed that she remain on board foe a few weeks past the election in order to facilitate a smooth transition for the department.

“Massachusetts General Law says the new town clerk will take over the position seven days after the election, so I will be here for a week after election day just doing the actions of the election pay roll, paying bills associated with the election,” Finn said.

However, instead of walking away from the job after a week she told selectmen she is will-ing to remain on board to allow her successor to acclimate to

the job. Selectmen agreed and welcomed her experience and expertise.

Town Administrator Greg Balukonis said having a resource like Finn to assist in the transition is vital and shared his recommendation with selectmen that they not pass up on an opportunity to retain Finn’s services a little while longer.

“I think we should take advantage of Ora’s willingness and availability to assist. Ora and I can have some conversa-tions about what the necessary duration would be, but I think the incoming town clerk would benefit tremendously from Ora’s knowledge,” Balukonis said.

The Town Administrator will put together a letter of agree-ment and handle pay issues to ensure that Finn in compen-sated for her added time serv-ing the town. Finn will not be retained as the town clerk or assistant town clerk but will rather be considered a “consul-tant.”

Those interested in running for the town clerk position or any other elected position in Dudley need to submit the proper election forms to the town hall by March 4.

WEBSTER – Although it has long been associated with “New-Agey” ideas, essential oils appeal to the scientist in Julie St. Francis.

“That’s what I love about the oils,” she said. “I’m a mad chemist. What can I mix today?”

St. Francis, a yoga teacher and Dudley Middle School sci-ence teacher, uses herself as a guinea pig to test various combinations of oils in food or tea, as aromas and on her skin to find out how they make her feel and what other properties they might have. She admits “sometimes it’s the placebo

effect,” but to her that’s often a scientific explanation for pro-cesses we don’t really under-stand that help the immune system work well.

In some cases, though, an effect is well-documented.

“A large body of litera-ture has been published on the effects of odors on the human brain and emotions,” the National Institutes of Health “Aromatherapy with Essential Oils” webpage (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK65874/) states. “...Such studies have consis-tently shown that odors can produce specific effects on human neuropsychological and autonomic function and

that odors can influence mood, perceived health, and arous-al. These studies suggest that odors may have therapeutic applications in the context of stressful and adverse psycho-logical conditions.”

“Oils help activate the lim-bic system… and helps make it a deeper meditative pro-cess,” St. Francis said, noting she doesn’t just use them for meditation. She’s been “using them with dedication” for about four years since a fellow yoga teacher introduced her to them, and has been “trying to actively incorporate them into my life wherever I can” for the last three.

OXFORD — A new bakery has come to Oxford! Located at 250 Main St., this quaint bakery serves up cookies, cupcakes, cheese-cakes, and so much more.

Owner and self-taught baker, Jess Lyn McFadden, opened up her bakery Saturday, Feb. 2. Customers were in the doors bright and early to look at all the tasty treats dis-played in the huge glass case. Jess’ husband, Matt McFadden worked the register helping

each eager customer get their goods. A dozen cookies here, a coffee and danish there. The bakery had an amazing first day.

Jess took to the bakery’s Facebook page, Jess’ Sweets & Treats, to speak on the first day open, writing “We baked and baked and baked, but looks like we didn’t bake enough. We will be closing at noon because we are sold out!”

The bakery had hundreds of pretzel rods, dozens of Rice Krispie treats, plenty of choc-

DUDLEY/CHARLTON – The Dudley Charlton Regional School Committee has decided to put plans to address pair of aging school roofs on hold for now in order to allow time for a closer

examination of the dis-trict’s options.

Committee member Elaine Rabbitt gave an update on the school roofs during a meeting in mid-January where she revealed that, at least for now, the district won’t be going forward with any recommendation of how

to proceed with either replacing or refurbishing the worn-out roof work on either Charlton or Dudley Middle School. This decision comes after a pair of consultants were brought on board to share their thoughts on the initiative with mixed results.

“At this point in time, there has been informa-tion presented that cre-ates as conundrum if you want to say it that way,” Rabbitt told her fellow committee members. “We brought in two com-panies that had complete-ly opposite views as to whether or not we could do a restauration or if we needed to do replace-ment.”

After consulting Interim Superintended Dr. Kristine Nash and District Director of Finance and Operations Richard Mathieu Rabbitt said the decision was made to have a neutral third party come in to give another opinion on the fate of the roofs and how much invest-ment the town will have to put into the projects. Rabbitt said Mathieu is already in touch with a company that could serve as the third party, however this same entity, which was not named at the meeting, could

also serve a larger role in determining the needs of facilities throughout the district.

“We’re looking at pos-sibly using this company so that we could look at this, plus see how they would be for the full study program. Mr. Mathieu is using that company and looking referrals from our current roof repair company to give us that third party voice. Based on that scenario we will not be going forward with any recommenda-tion for any type of mone-tary impact for the towns for the roofs at this point in time. We need to do

further studies,” Rabbitt said.

Talks about conducting a district-wide examina-tion of facilities date back a couple years now as the district attempts to stay up to date on the needs of the schools without let-ting projects go too long before being addressed. The third party study of the middle schools roofs will be significant to determining the expens-es needed for the roof work especially with the district continuing the work around budget con-straints.

OXFORD – Selectmen have decided to continue their exper-iment with making part of Conlin Road one way, extend-ing it until May 1 and pledging to hold a public forum for com-ments in the near future.

“It’s taken some getting used to, I’ll say, for some people,” DPW Director Sean Divoll told them last week, “… but over-all I have not seen any exces-sive queue length … [nor] any so-called close calls.”

He’s referring to a proposal selectmen started on Dec 17, by which they made the short stretch of Conlin Road between Charlton and Old Webster roads one way southbound to draw traffic away from the Conlin-Charlton intersection. At about the same time, Divoll upgraded signs there, includ-ing adding a flashing stop sign.

“There was an accident his-tory there,” Divoll said, noting the selectmen first mentioned the need to address it after an accident about two years ago.

He said he’s “not aware of any” since then, and read a letter from Police Chief Tony Saad summarizing activity there since Dec 17. Saad reported no accidents and “no formal complaints,” but police saw 29 violations of the one-way sign.

Selectman Cheryll LeBlanc said she was the one who got the first complaint from a neighborhood resident “who could sit there and watch the fender-benders and accidents there.” She didn’t identify the man, but said he was not relat-ed to a selectman, as some have rumored.

Chairman Dennis Lamarche said he does have a relative liv-ing near there and comment-ed on the issue, but abstained from voting. He said having Conlin be two-way was “very convenient,” but sight lines coming out of it were “very dif-ficult” from both sides. Making it one way, however, has made the eastbound right turn from Charlton safer because cars don’t have to hug the curb, he said.

LeBlanc said Chief Saad found “many minor accidents” there in recent years, and the change “was not done without a lot of thought.”

Even with the one way, “that intersection is still very dan-gerous,” she added

The resident told her “it’s better as far as he’s concerned,” with only the one-way change being “controversial.” That, she said, has sparked “a lot of complaints,” but she’s not sure “if its just because it’s different or because it’s wrong.”

Selectman John Saad agreed, adding he has “mixed feelings about it myself.” He’s visited the area and has noticed “a difference” and “a little bit of confusion” at peak hours (4-6 pm), particularly with “heavy” traffic westbound toward Charlton. He asked whether Divoll had looked into concerns relating to trucks turning from Old Webster to Charlton.

Divoll said he had, noting the turn radius is large enough and trucks generally weren’t using Conlin anyway.

“There’s enough gaps in the traffic for those vehicles to come out safely,” he said, but noted he is a little concerned when people stop to let drivers out because that might cause rear-end accidents.

He noted, however, that he did not speak to nearby res-idents before making the change, prompting Selectman Meaghan Troiano to request a public hearing on the issue. Lamarche agreed to put it on the next meeting’s agenda.

“I’ve heard more complaints that praises,” Troiano said, but also noted “people won’t even remember when it wasn’t one-way” after some time.

John Saad agreed, saying he saw a similar issue when the town made a stretch of Old Southbridge Road one way, but people got used to it. To him, letting this experiment contin-ue “for a reasonable amount of time” is likely to have the same result.

Later, Divoll said he’d like to see the board craft a policy for using the flashing stop signs

at other locations; they can’t go everywhere because of cost (about $1,500 per sign).

In other business, the board and Town Manager Jennifer Callahan praised DPW for their response to recent snow-storms, briefly discussed ongo-ing efforts to fill the town’s Veterans’ Agent needs in col-laboration with area towns and retail marijuana licensing, and saw a lengthy presenta-tion from Mark Favermann of Favermann Design on how his firm has worked with various communities to cre-ate distinctive promotional signs. Afterward, they created a 12-person Wayfinding and Branding Committee to work on such a project; it will include two selectmen (LeBlanc and Troiano), members of various boards, and citizens.

DWC 11th Annual Fashion Show models announced

WEBSTER — Einstein is back! The Webster Lake Association is sponsoring their 12th annual Ice-Out con-test. Proceeds will benefit the Webster Lake Association, Webster Fire and Rescue, and the Reconciliation House of Webster.

Einstein is expected to be placed on the ice within Lakeview Marine Cove during the weekend of Feb. 2. There is a 40-pound weight attached to him. When the ice melts enough for the weight to drop into the water, an attached rope will set off the timer. The winners will be determined by the closest ticket to the exact

month, date, hour and min-ute he went through the ice. Tickets are $5.00, and entrants must be 18 years old. This year the prize money is to be a total of $4,000.

First place prize is $2,000, 2nd place prize is $1,000, 3rd place prize is $500 and 4th and 5th place prize is $250 each. In the unlikely event of a tie, the prize will be divided equally. Last year’s winners were deter-mined by a raffle, as warm-er than normal temperatures caused Einstein to premature-ly fall through the ice, before the close of ticket sales.

Tickets must be received no later than midnight Feb. 19.

Tickets are available through outlets at Lakeview Marine, Point Breeze Restaurant of Webster, and Pro Automotive of Dudley. You can also play online by visiting the Webster Lake Association Ice-Out Contest website at http://websterlakeassociation.org/EinsteinInfo.shtml, using Pay Pal or your credit/debit card. Additional rules are also post-ed on this same Web site.

“They have to have something called DECAMM (Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance) certifi-cations and that’s something you have to get prequalified through the state,” Balukonis said. “There’s the possibility that we will get local people, but they have to be DECAM certified in terms of the fact that they have to be a certain size with certain staffing and quality.”

Selectmen are expected the bids and choose a low bidder later this month with a project start date still to be deter-mined.

Bartlett HigH ScHool Honor roll

DUDLEY — Shepherd Hill Regional High School announced earlier this week that it has received a grant to offer a new curricular program from Porject Lead The Way (PLTW) that will better prepare students for career success. PLTW is a nonprofit organiza-tion that provides a transfor-mative learning experience for Pre-K-12 students and teachers through pathways in computer science, engineering and bio-medical science. Shepherd Hill joins more than 11,500 schools

across the country offering PLTW programs to millions of students.

Mr. William Chaplin, Principal of Shepherd Hill Regional High School, states “We are excited to expand our quality STEM programming with the PLTW Engineering pathway. We implemented the PLTW Biomedical Science pathway at the high school two years ago, and it continues to expand. With hands on inqui-ry based projects and work-ing with community business

partners on real world applica-tions, this is a real win for our students.”

Shepherd Hill is just one of 58 schools across the Commonwealth to receive the grant, which is support-ed by the administration of Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito, the One8 Foundation, and Mass STEM Hub.

“Engaging our students throughout their K-12 school years with hands-on lessons in science, engineering, com-

puter science, technology and math will prepare them for success after high school and strengthen the Massachusetts workforce,” said Polito, who co-chairs the STEM Advisory Council.

Shepherd Hill will use grant funds to strengthen its PLTW program with PLTW Engineering. Funds from the grant will also support teacher professional development and the purchase of materials and equipment that will be used in the hands-on, activity, project,

and problem-based courses.“We are proud to partner

with Shepherd Hill to empow-er students to develop the in-demand knowledge and transportable skills to thrive in our evolving world,” said Vince Bertram, PLTW presi-dent and CEO. “Thank you to the Governor’s office, the One8 Foundation, and Mass STEM Hub for making these grants possible and further investing in Massachusetts students.”

“Every Town Deserves a Good Local Newspaper”

To her, that means almost every-where – in breakfast tea and other food, as a background scent in her class-rooms, to help with sleep and warding off illness, and, soon, with her dog.

One of her favorites is lavender, which helps with stress, sleep, skin and general healing and can cool off “hot” oils like peppermint, lemongrass and oregano (which has anti-fungal and antibiotic effects). She dubbed it “the jack of all trades for essential oils.”

She describes them as “my primary regimen” to maintain health, although she also accepts the effectiveness of vac-cination and similar basic practices. At some point, she’d like to grow some of her own herbs, and would distill such oils herself if she had the equipment to do it.

“It’s just like me plucking a leaf off a plant and chewing some mint,” she said.

To St. Francis, and many others who use them, effectiveness and safe-ty depend on a couple of key factors: “origin and purity.” She notes there’s a difference between essential oils and synthetic ones derived from the same plants. The former often distill the entire fruit or plant so you’re “get-ting all the natural chemical benefits” from, say, a whole lemon, she said. By contrast, synthetics, “frequently contain irritants, such as solvents and propellants, that can trigger sensitiv-

ities in some people,” the NIH paper states. “Most aromatherapists believe that synthetic fragrances are inferior to essential oils because they lack natural or vital energy; however, this has been contested by odor psychologists and biochemists.”

In many cases, St. Francis said, positive effect “really comes down to breathing.” Slow, deep breaths bring in oxygen and help people focus on

the present, while the all-too-common fast, shallow breaths of our rushing world tend to trigger stress hormones because, biologically, they’re connected to “running from a lion” out in nature, she said.

To her, oils help counter the overuse of drugs in our society, noting pharma-ceuticals “are designed to mimic the real thing,” but often take the chemis-try out of context and have far worse

side effects. Research into essential oils started in

the 1990s, mostly on rats, with some rel-atively small studies on human patients with various conditions. According to a 2015 article at LiveScience.com (https://www.livescience.com/52080-es-sential-oils-science-health-effects.html), such work has looked at effects of var-ious oils on depression, acne, irritable bowel, and other conditions, and the NIH page lists several kinds of studies with cancer patients. Attitudes toward it vary by country, with oils and aroma-therapy being used alongside allopathic medicine in Europe far more than in the US.

LiveScience states, “Using the active compounds in essential oils in low con-centrations and inhaling the vapors of these oils are normally safe for most people, [Gerhard] Buchbauer, [profes-sor of pharmaceutical chemistry at the University of Vienna in Austria] said. Safety testing of essential oils have shown they have few negative side effects, when used as directed.”

St Francis agreed, saying essential oils aren’t usually allergenic but can cause some skin reactions for some peo-ple if not diluted.

“I don’t need to rely on treating symp-toms with traditional pharmaceuticals, and it allows you to focus on prevention and general wellness,” St. Francis said. “It satisfies the chemist in me.”

olate covered Oreo’s and piles of oatmeal crème pies. The bakery sold out and were excited to see so much business. Their best seller, right before the super bowl, were the red and blue Patriots cupcakes along with specialty cookies, goats, football fields, footballs, and Patriots logo cookies. The bakery made sweet jersey cakes for the super bowl as well.

“I want to thank every-one for your overwhelm-ing support today,” say Jess and Matt McFadden.

Their bakery is off to an amazing beginning. The McFaddens look for-ward to Valentine’s Day with their specialty sugar cookies. Necco recently stopped making candy Sweethearts for the year 2019. Jess is proud to announce that she will be making large candy hearts out of sugar cook-ies and frosting. Holidays are going to be a lot of fun for this bakery. But the McFaddens have other ideas as well.

“Every Thursday will be the Lieutenants Special, a large coffee and a muffin for only $5,”

they promise.Jess says that local

Oxford Police Lieutenant Jason Burdett is a fam-ily friend and it is in support of him and all other officers. The bak-ery takes special orders and can create just about anything! For opening day, the McFadden’s had a lot of help from friends and family. Margaret Foley, Erin Guzman, Alayna Kiriungi, Aiden McFadden, Tammy and Chris Kimbar, Melissa Nowak, and Jessica Staplton all came to help their friends with the busy day. Nowak helped

package cookies and cakes. Foley decorated various cakes. Young Kiriungi helped place stickers on boxes and of course, had to sample some sweet treats.

The bakery is fun and functional inside. Décor is minimalist and charming, there are purple accents, a coffee bar, stands to hold pre-wrapped desserts, and chairs for a couple to sit and relax. The kitchen is sparkling new and invit-ing. A brand-new large oven is perfect for Jess to bake her amazing cook-ies. Frosting and sprin-

kles of every kind line the shelves. Frosting bags are strewn about the large sparking clean tables. Each cookie is designed by hand and each one looks scrumptious and appealing. Jess is a mix-ture of Willy Wonka and Bob Ross when decorat-ing her gorgeous cookies.

Congratulations and welcome to the neighbor-hood McFadden’s! This bakery is open Sunday 8 a.m.-2 p.m., Monday closed. Tuesday-Friday 7 a.m.-2 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Hours are subject to change.

Here are what custom-

ers are saying about Jess’ Sweets & Treats.

“Love the assortments of treats… that are in my belly! So glad that your first day was so success-ful!” says Kristen Scholl.

Jen Lundin Odgren says “Congratulations! Your business is going to be a great success!”

Tracy Lynne says “The cookies and cheesecake were awesome! Like always!”

Jose Gonzalez-Blosser says “Glad to sup-port a local business. Congratulations on a job well done.”

I lead a different life from most moms, when you go to soccer practice, we go to social groups. When you go to the PTO meetings, I go to SEPAC. When you go to a parent teacher con-ference, we have IEP meetings with teachers, therapists, advo-cates, and specialists. Your child may see the doctor once a year for their check-up, we are in once a week. You have play dates, I have ABA specialists coming into my home three

times a week to play with my son. It may seem like a lot, but this is our norm. We are used to it, and we want you to be aware and also, I want to talk to you, I want you to talk to me.

I want to be your friend.We go to the same kind of

meetings just with different experiences. My son, Jase, is 10 years old, he was diagnosed with autism at the tender age of two. He does not talk well, but he can communicate with sign language and his device. He likes to play games, paint, play with slime and goop, reads books, loves the playground, and enjoys the company of kids around his age. I like to go out (when I can) and have dinner, go to the movies, and come over for your Tupperware party or book club. I want to be involved

in your life, and I would love for you to be involved in mine.

We are not so different. I struggle with the usual stuff too and I crave your attention and friendship. The big prob-lem is, I can’t approach you.

Throughout our lives, we have dealt with being left out. We don’t get to experience the same things you do. When we are approached by someone, it is not always positive. For instance, in a super market, your child is well behaved and helping you with the grocer-ies. My son may be humming, screaming, wiggling his fingers in front of his eyes, and hit-ting his legs. We get awkward stares and quiet whispers. My son is different but he is still a child. He likes when people say hello to him and so do I. It

helps us feel not so out of place. If you see us special needs moms out and about it is okay to approach us with a smile. If you actually see us at a school function, please come over and see if our kids would get along. Maybe we can have a play-date. Don’t be afraid of us, because we are definitely afraid of you. The comments we receive are not always positive. “Why is he doing that?” “Can’t you control him?” “Why are you guys here?” “You need to keep him quiet” I do not control my child, I help him get acclimated to the outside world. I refuse to live solely at home, we are a part of the community and we have every right to be here.

Please try to understand and welcome us. I will not keep Jase quiet, his humming is

to drown something else out. Sometimes he makes a high pitch noise and that usually means happening he is excited. There is no reason to be scared of us. We only ask for your acceptance. Accept us, accept him, and welcome us into your lives. There are so many chil-dren diagnosed with autism today. If you haven’t seen them around… well, we are busy, but we are also weary. Your friend-ship could mean all the dif-ference. Your friendship could change the lives of one very lonely family. We lead different lives. Sometimes all we need is a little normalcy to remind us that we belong.

I am a special needs mom, and yes, I do want to be your friend

This past weekend, numer-ous anglers were out enjoying some ice fishing all around the valley. I stopped by the Linwood Pond area Sunday and encoun-tered a few local fishermen enjoying a somewhat warmer day than Saturday, which still had close to zero temperatures.

This week’s picture shows Steve Maranda tending one of his ice tip-ups hoping to bring in a trophy bass, but was rewarded with a small pick-erel. He was fishing with his brother Mark and friend Craig Bonieace, shown in the second picture.

Many anglers took the time to do a bit of ice fishing Saturday & Sunday prior to the Patriots football game. Most ponds had a good amount of ice on them, with many ponds having up to 12 inches on them. Cape ponds still had little ice on them this past week because of the wind that kept the ponds from freez-ing!

My brother Ken and I fished Nipmunc Pond this past Saturday, and only managed to catch a few yellow perch and one pickerel, mostly on jig sticks. The perch were mostly in the 12 inch class and were retained for a future meal, but were very good look-ing fish. Not all ponds have perch that I would consider eating but Nipmunc seem to have some of the better eating fish. Hopefully, we will be able to catch a few more to make a good meal. Pan fried perch are one of the best eating fish from fresh water, and I will only eat them during the win-ter months.

The Singletary Rod & Gun Club will hold their annual ice fishing derby this Sunday, Feb. 10. The event was postponed

due to unsafe ice conditions around the shore line , a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully, the ice conditions did not deteri-orate this week prior to the derby. A full buffet breakfast for $5 will be served starting at 6 a.m., and the derby will start at 7 a.m.! Cash awards for the largest trout will be given to the angler catching the larg-est fish, and many other priz-es will be awarded to anglers that enter the raffles and hold the lucky ticket. The ice fish-ing event is one of the best attended by members, along with the spring derby. See you there for breakfast!

Sportsmen are eager to attend a few upcoming sportsmen’s shows planned in the next few weeks. The Springfield show is scheduled to open there doors at the Big E on Feb. 22-24. Meeting old friends and sharing hunt-

ing and fishing experiences of last year provide a great atmosphere to spend the day in. Finding a good place to eat at many of the great dining areas is also part of our annual day at the show. We found a great place to eat which serves a great buffet of Chinese and American food at the plaza in West Springfield. It is called “Nippon,” 935 Riverdale St.! You got to try it! The buffet cost around $8 per person.

Captain Mel True of “FISHNET” Charters has decided to sponsor a “Used Fishing And Used Boat Expo” this year for the first time. The event will be held in Wareham, Mass. on April 6, 2019. The show will feature numerous tables covered with all types of used fishing tackle from area anglers. Tables can be reserved for $40 each. If you have to

much fishing tackle and want to sell some of it, this is a great opportunity to make a few dol-lars and clean out your unwant-ed fishing gear. Numerous used boats will also be on dis-play. This is a great opportuni-ty to sell your used or unwant-ed boat. A $5 admission fee will be charged for all attend-ees. For details, go to his Web site at https//captainmeltrue.com/tried-%26-true-fishing-ex-po.

Sportsmen are still wait-ing for the results of the 2019 Mass. deer harvest num-bers that should be out soon. Reports of a very high deer harvest is expected, break-ing all records according to some Mass. Division of Fish & Wildlife employees. The some-what mild winter and low snow fall has been kind to wildlife so far this year. Deer and wild tur-

key are fortunate not to have heavy snowfall along with the lack of food that is unavailable to them this year. Hopefully, a good acorn crop will be avail-able to them this year. The gypsy moths have managed to kill off many oak trees in Mass. over the past few years.

The Mass. late goose sea-son will end Feb. 15, 2019 for the Central District. Reports from a few local goose hunters revealed a somewhat poor late season, while others reported some great hunting. Locally, I have seen very few birds in our area, and fields that I normally hunt also had very few birds. This is the first year that I per-sonally did not hunt geese in the late season. Old age and low bird sightings played a big roll!

Editorial

Varying amounts of snow, combined with temperature fluctuations, results in the melting and re-freezing of snow and ice. With this in mind, it is extreme-ly important to remove excess snow from your vehicles prior to operating. This topic is always brought up to me at this time of the year, and I wanted

to remind people of the importance of taking this one additional safety step.

A few laws on the books can address this situation. Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 90 Section 13 is the law which addresses “impeded” operation. Drivers are not allowed to have any-thing on or about their vehicle which may interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle. This can directly pertain to the removal of snow an ice from wind-shields. However; even though it is not specifically stated in this law, there may be circumstances where it may apply to snow on vehicle hoods, roof tops, or trunks. Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 85 Section 36 addresses the sub-ject of unsecured or unsafe loads trans-ported on the roadways. Flying snow or debris from a vehicle traveling down the road may apply under these circum-stances. Both laws carry civil fines and decisions will be made by an officer on a case by case basis. As another reminder, your vehicle’s license plates must also be clearly visible and cleared of snow and debris. It is a separate vio-lation of the law to have an obstructed number plate.

The danger lies in not removing this snow in a prompt manner. If it is left in place, it tends to melt and re-freeze, which creates an ice sheet. When trav-eling at higher speeds, such as on a highway, the wind can move under this ice and send it flying off the vehicle. It could then land on or around another vehicle traveling along the road.

The results of this can be very seri-ous. Despite the damage this may cause to another vehicle, it could have even greater consequences should this land on another vehicle’s windshield. The driver may be unable to see and this could result in an accident. If there is a crash involved, the fact that the snow/ice was not removed prior to the trip could be considered as a negligent act on the part of that driver. Therefore, this person may bear some responsibil-ity for the accident. Please take a few extra minutes to completely remove the snow from your vehicle. This simple act could prevent and accident and pos-sibly save a life (even your own).

Thanks again for your questions and comments. Please send them to me at the Dudley Police Department, 71 West Main St., Dudley, Ma. 01571 or email at [email protected].

Keep your vehicle clean of snow and ice

— it’s the law

Fighting the Deep Freeze

Recent frigid tempera-tures call for strategies to manage the hassles of a New England win-ter. From keeping warm despite the big chill, to driving safely in the snow, the following com-mon sense winter tips are geared to keep us save and sound until spring makes its highly anticipated appear-ance.

***Correct Layering to Keep Warm: We

all know the best way to keep warm while outside in the freezing cold is to wear layers. But do you know the cor-rect way to layer up?

First off, it’s important that the layers of clothing are loose fitting, which will trap body heat.

The layer closest to your skin should be a wool or synthetic material not cot-ton, which is absorbent. Sweating, as well as exposure to moisture in the air can cause skin to become cold, so a first layer of wicking fabric is critical.

The next layer should be a warm layer such as a sweater or fleece garment, again avoiding cotton fabrics. Lastly, don a weatherproof coat that is insulat-ed. Be sure to keep your head and face covered. Mittens are often a best choice over gloves if dexterity of your fingers is not required.

Did you know?: Depending on the

temperature and wind chill, frostbite can set in quickly: Know the symptoms of frostbite: The first sign is a prickly or itchy sensation on skin. As frostbite progresses, numbness sets in and skin can feel waxy, and flush gray, white, blue or yellow. Signs of hypothermia include confusion, dizziness, exhaus-tion and severe shivering.

*** Up Your Internal Temp: When

temperatures drop low, it can be a challenge to keep cozy, even while indoors. Instead of cranking up the thermostat dial, whey not turn up your internal thermostat? Donning a light-weight, long sleeved shirt averages two degrees of warmth, while putting on a heavy or wool sweater can propel your warmth quota four degrees!

***Old Tricks for Plumbing Pipes: To

reduce the odds of water pipes freez-ing, simply open cabinet doors below sinks and open any doors adjacent to pipes. Allowing warm air to reach the pipes (especially those in which a sink is located against an exterior wall) can keep pipes from freezing. Also, run a thin stream of water from any faucets that are at risk of freezing.

***Be Prepared on the Road: Being

comfortable while stranded in a snow-storm or deep freeze requires pro active planning; Every vehicle should have an emergency supplies. A kit should include a portable battery jumper or cables; flashlights and batteries; phone charger; snow brush, ice scraper, small shovel; blankets, extra clothing; non-perishable food; energy bars and bottled water.

Make sure your battery is strong. Batteries that are more than three years old or that are on the verge of going dead often can’t be jump-started once they have been exposed to temperatures below zero for an extended period.

Gas up before a storm. Keeping the tank filled prevents fuel lines from freezing and also provides enough fuel to keep warm during an emergency.

Weak antifreeze can freeze. As a preventa-tive, flush the cooling system and replace with fresh antifreeze every two years.

Don’t wash your car. The run-off water could freeze your doors, windows, and trunk. If doors or locks get fro-

zen, use an alcohol-based spray made specifically to open frozen cars; do not use hot water.

Make sure the tire air pressure is at the proper level. When the temperature drops below zero, tires can lose up to a pound of pressure, making them unsafe and causing unnecessary wear and tear.

***Tires are your number one weapon

against slipping and sliding. Make sure you have enough tread on your tires. The drive tires must provide traction to push your vehicle over wet pavement and through snow. The steering tires must have traction to steer the vehicle. Enough tread is especially important in winter conditions. Experts say you should have at least one eighth inch of tread to plow through snow effective-ly. Since tread is measured in 32ndfrac-tions, here is the official rundown from Michelin: For proper tract ion you must have at least 4/32 inch tread depth in every major groove on front tires and at least 2/32 inch on other tires. More would be better. Use a gauge to deter-mine if you have enough tread for safe driving.

No gauge? Common coins can be sub-stituted for a tire tread depth gauge as tires wear to the critical final few 32nds of an inch of their remaining tread depth. Here’s how:

Place a penny into several tread grooves across the tire. If part of Lincoln’s head is always covered by the tread, you have more than 2/32” of tread depth remaining.

Place a quarter into several tread grooves across the tire. If part of Washington’s head is always covered by the tread, you have more than 4/32” of tread depth remaining.

Place a penny into several tread grooves across the tire. If the top of the Lincoln Memorial is always covered by the tread, you have more than 6/32” of tread depth remaining.

If snow covered roads are a concern, you should consider replacing your tires when they reach approximately 6/32” of remaining tread depth to main-tain good mobility

Valentine’s Day is fast approach-ing. This year, consider going beyond the flowers and chocolates and think about providing financial-related gifts to your loved ones of all generations. Here are some gift pos-sibilities to consider: For your spouse or partner – Your income – both today and in the future – may be essential to the ability of your spouse or partner to maintain his or her lifestyle and even to enjoy a com-fortable retirement. Consequently, you need to protect that income and be pre-pared to replace it. So, why not use Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to review your disability and life insur-ance? Of course, you don’t have to eval-uate your insurance needs and add new coverage all in one day, but the sooner you act, the more you can relax in the knowledge that you’ve helped give your spouse or partner a more secure future.

For your children or grandchildren – If you want your children or grandchil-dren to go to college, or to receive some

type of technical educa-tion that can help them launch a good career, you may want to provide some type of financial assistance. And one edu-cation-funding vehicle you might want to con-sider is a 529 college sav-ings plan, which offers tax advantages and high contribution limits. Plus, it gives you, as owner, consider-able flexibility – you can always change beneficiaries if the child or grandchild you had in mind decides not to go to college or a technical school. (Be aware, though, that a 529 plan can have finan-cial aid implications, so, at some point, you will want to discuss this issue with a financial aid counselor.) Another financial “gift” you could give to your children is a bit more indirect, but pos-sibly just as valuable, as a 529 plan – and that’s the gift of preserving your own financial independence through-out your life. If you were to someday

need some type of long-term care, such as an extended nurs-ing home stay or regular vis-its from a home health aide, you could find the costs extremely high. Medicare typically pays

few of these costs, so you will likely need to come up with the funds on your own. You can go a long way toward pro-tecting yourself from these expenses – and avoid having to burden your grown children – by purchasing long-term care insurance or some type of life insur-ance with a long-term care provision. For your parents – One of the best gifts you can give to elderly parents is to help make sure their estate plans are in order. This is never an easy topic to bring up, but it’s essential that you know what responsibilities you might

have, such as assuming power of attor-ney, to ensure that your parents’ plans are carried out, and their interests pro-tected, in the way they’d want. Toward this end, you will need to communicate regularly with your parents – and if they haven’t drawn up estate plans yet, you could arrange for them to meet with the legal, tax and financial professionals necessary to help create these plans. Just as the definition of “love” is broad enough to include all the people most important to you, so is the range of financial gifts you can give your loved ones. Start thinking about these gifts on Valentine’s Day – and beyond.

Financial gifts for valentines…of all ages

Whining about

whiningWe all know them – the whiners

and chronic complainers of the world. No matter how silly or temporary a problem, they have to comment and complain to anyone who will listen.

Traffic… the weather… the price of gas... the long line at the store… the price of lettuce…too much rain… not enough rain… they never seem to run out of material.

Why so much whining? What is the benefit of having such a negative out-look? And why do these constant com-plainers always need to share their views with others? Do they want to assure themselves that the rest of us understand just how inconvenienced they are? Do they need someone to sympathize with them and validate their concerns? Or do they just like to hear themselves talk?

The worst whiners are the ones who complain about small things they can actually change, if they really want to. But they seem to cling as hard to the thing they complain about as much as they want to be rid of it.

Obviously, it’s not easy to find a new job, or a new place to live, or a better car. Those things don’t happen simply because one wishes they would. And many people do not have the means or support or privilege to achieve them. All of this is understood. Those prob-lems are tough to deal with and not easily solved.

But what about the person who chronically complains about the drive-thru service at a fast food place, yet never parks and goes inside? Or tries another restaurant? What about that co-worker who talks incessantly about how bad the office coffee is, but never brings her own? And the guy who likes to make sure everyone in line knows that his time is precious and he just can’t be late to his meet-ing – couldn’t he have left earlier? Couldn’t he come back later? Those are small solutions to small issues, yet the whiners seem to relish the pain without fixing the problem.

So, we let them whine, and maybe as a kindness, acknowledge their prob-lem and sympathize. If all they need or want is a listening ear, even for five minutes in line at the grocery store, let’s give it to them.

If someone listens, at least that’s one less thing for them to whine about.

SportS BriefS

BY KEN POWERSSPORTS CORRESPONDENT

DUDLEY — Everything one needs to know about Molly Springer as a play-er and, more importantly, as a per-son, is contained in her postgame com-ments after the Shepherd Hill Regional girls’ varsity basketball team lost to Algonquin Regional, 56-47, on Tuesday, Jan. 29.

“I’m not really about personal accom-plishments. I like team accomplish-ments better. Winning and losing, that’s what I focus on,” said Springer, who

poured in a game-high 30 points, includ-ing the 1,000th point of her illustrious Rams’ career. “Years from now, when I’m asked about this game I’ll say, ‘we committed too many turnovers and we lost that game. And, oh yeah, that’s the night I scored my 1,000th point.’

“I don’t like when the attention is all on me,” the senior added. “I’m just happy it’s over.”

Springer entered the Shepherd Hill 1,000-point club with 46 seconds to play in the first quarter; scoring on a shot she’s taken hundreds of times in her career.

After grabbing one of her 15 rebounds, Springer brought the ball up, passed off to Reese Hammond on the wing after crossing half-court and then continued on into the paint. Hammond quickly passed it back to Springer, who caught the ball in stride, stopped, faked to her right, wheeled to her left and laid the ball off the glass and into the basket.

The hoop was Springer’s fifth and sixth points of the game as well as the 1,000th and 1,001st of her career. The game was immediately stopped and the crowd, many of whom were there just to see Springer achieve the milestone, cheered wildly. Springer then joined her parents, Ron and Sandra, on the court for a few pictures.

“I think it was the right way to score my 1,000th point; on the give-and-go,” Springer said. “That’s the way I scored the majority of my points.”

Maura Cushing, currently serving as the Rams’ head coach while Jim “Hack” Hackenson, Shepherd Hill’s longtime coach, recovers from hip replacement surgery, thought it was appropriate

that Springer scored the historic basket they way she did.

“It’s very fitting that it came on a give-and-go in the post,” Cushing said. “Coach Hack loves the give-and-go. We practice it all the time and Molly’s been making that shot, that play look so easy for four years. We have [the basket] on video for Coach Hack. He’ll be very pleased.

“That play is second nature for Molly,” Cushing continued. “She does a great job getting the ball, passing it to the wing, cutting through the paint, get-ting it back and scoring. I knew the ball was going in before she even let go of it. It was great. Molly’s automatic down there in close.”

Cushing thought it was fitting for another reason, too.

“Scoring 1,000 points doesn’t happen very often around here and it couldn’t happen to a better kid,” Cushing said. “Molly works hard, she is well respect-ed by her teammates, and she is just an all-around great kid.”

It was inevitable Springer would reach 1,000 career points against the Tomahawks, but it took longer to get there than Springer expected.

“I was nervous at the beginning of the game, so it took me a little longer than

it usually does to score five points,” Springer said. “Still, I was happy I got it over with early so I could focus on the game. In the beginning I felt like the whole team was a little distracted by it all.”

Algonquin (3-11 overall, 2-4 in the Mid-Wach A), which led, 12-10 after the first quarter and 26-25 at halftime, broke the game open in the third quar-ter, outscoring Shepherd Hill (4-9, 1-5) 15-5 in the period to take a 41-30 lead into the fourth quarter.

“I think the team was anxious to start the game; they all wanted this for Molly. But they battled through it and we had two good quarters. We just dug ourselves too big a hole that we just couldn’t get out of,” Cushing said. “We turned the ball over a little bit too much. We’ll work on it. They’re great kids. They’re young and they work hard. I told them tonight I’ll take their effort all day over non-effort.”

Joining Springer in the scoring col-umn were: seniors Hammond and Carly Snyder (two points each); junior Paula Barbale (two points); sophomore Emma Lanpher (five points); and freshman Triniti Sughrue (six points).

Mohegan Bowl winter leagues, week ending FeB. 3

BY NICK ETHIERSPORTS STAFF WRITER

WEBSTER — Fresh off scor-ing the 1,000th point of her high school career, Uxbridge High’s Olivia Hicks remained hot in the Spartans’ next game when they took on the Bartlett High girls’ varsity basketball team on Monday, Feb. 4.

Hicks scored a game-high 22 points and, at times, took over control of the game to help Uxbridge defeat the Indians, 41-26.

“She’s got the grit, the per-severance, the heart, the hus-tle — she just doesn’t stop,” Spartans’ head coach Tracy Larkin said of Hicks. “She’s the most selfless athlete I’ve ever coached.”

Hicks got to 1,000 points ver-sus Grafton High on Friday, Feb. 1 on a 3-pointer from the left side.

“It was something else,” the 5-foot-3 Hicks said of the

scoring plateau. “Getting 1,000 wasn’t something that I was expecting through my four years. Soccer was my main focus and I stopped playing high school soccer and this became my focus for school [sports]. I learned at the end of last year that I was close and that’s when I started focusing.”

As Hicks alluded to, basket-ball isn’t even her main sport. In the fall Hicks will attend the University of Maryland to play Division 1 collegiate soccer. Her current club team, NEFC, doesn’t allow players to com-pete on their respective high school teams, so she only gets to play with her friends during the winter season when soccer isn’t in session.

“High school is where you get to spend time with your friends and build more relationships,” Hicks said of the importance of remaining a Spartan, at least in the wintertime.

Hicks opened the game with Bartlett with a 3-pointer. She also made a free throw and a pair of layups in the first quar-ter as Uxbridge led, 12-6, after the initial eight-minute period.

The second quarter saw only seven points — four by the Spartans, three by the Indians — as Uxbridge took a 16-9 lead at halftime.

Then, in the third, Bartlett mounted a comeback. They scored nine points to the Spartans’ six as the Indians made it a game, 22-18, heading into the final frame.

“It was a four-point game late third quarter and we had all the momentum in the world, and then Hicks just has a gear that most high school basket-ball players around here just don’t have,” said Bartlett head coach Anthony Pukalo. “While basketball is not her main sport, she’s a D1 athlete. She’s dangerous from every single spot on the floor.”

With the Spartans having pushed their lead to 29-20, Hicks came up with a steal and coin-ciding layup to make it 31-20 — the first double-digit advantage of the evening — with 5:30 to play. Then, on a set inbounds play, Ashley Dube heaved a long pass to a streaking Hicks, who finished off another layup. A third layup gave Uxbridge an insurmountable 35-20 lead.

With the 22 points, Hicks has now scored 1,024 in her illus-trious career. Hicks became the third girls’ player in school history to reach 1,000 points, with the predecessors being Carol Albin (Class of 1989, 1,127 points) and Allison Cahill (Class of 1999, 1,446 points).

Not lost in the shuffle was how important the victory was for the Spartans. Having improved to 6-10, they sur-passed last year’s win total and are still mathematically alive for the Central Mass. Division 3 Tournament as of press time.

“We’re beating last year’s record, we were 5-15,” said Larkin. “Building a program is what we’re all about.”

“We needed it, we needed this win,” added Hicks. “It was good all around, everyone played well.”

Grace Orr added 6 points and 9 rebounds for Uxbridge, while Maggie Streichert (14 rebounds) and Dube (7 rebounds) helped on the boards. All players, according to Larkin, contribut-ed defensively.

“We have come so far defen-sively and that’s got to be our strong point at this point of the season,” she said. “The girls have come so far. Grace Orr, my eighth grader, doesn’t quit under the basket. Grace and Maggie hustled under the bas-ket.”

The Indians, meanwhile, dropped to 3-14 as their shots simply weren’t falling. Bartlett was 0 for 18 on 3-point attempts, but most of them were open looks. Camden Heenan led the Indians with 9 points and 8 rebounds, while Allison Grzembski added 6 points and 9 rebounds, and Gabriela Piwowarczyk pulled down a team-best 11 rebounds.

OXFORD — Playing against a desperate team in Oxford High, the Northbridge High boys’ varsity basketball team found themselves in a dogfight on Thursday, Jan. 31. The Rams did lead the Pirates after one quarter, 16-13, and at the half, 30-25, but they could never extend the lead to double digits.

Oxford came into the contest with a record of 5-9 and one more loss would eliminate them from playoff contention. But Northbridge, firm-ly qualified for both the Clark Tournament and

Central Mass. Division 3 Tournament because of their 13-2 record, played their brand of basketball and won the third quar-ter, 24-14, as the Rams went on to win, 69-60.

“We really stressed being where we want to be to do the things we want to do because it put our playmakers in position to have it a lit-tle more,” Northbridge head coach Aaron Katz said of the halftime talk leading to the successful third quarter. “When we space right we have four or five guys who can do something with the ball. In the first half we were all on top of each other.”

Added Robbie Cannon, one of the Rams’ 10 seniors: “In the third quarter we finally spaced the floor better. We got to the paint, too; I got a couple of easy layups. All year that’s what we’ve been preaching, we just didn’t do it in the first half.”

Northbridge finally extended its lead to dou-ble figures for the first time, 38-28, with 4:49 to play in the third quar-ter following four quick points from senior Dillon Padula — on an inside hoop and two free throws — who finished with a team-high 17 points.

But it wasn’t all Padula,

as Cannon finished with a double-double (15 points, 11 rebounds), and the other three starters (senior Sean Rosenlund, senior Jefferson Wermuth and freshman Cam Boucher) all scored at least eight points.

“The depth on our team is one of the most import-ant things,” said Cannon. “We’d rather have eight guys go for 10 points.”

“It’s like a coaches nightmare,” Katz added in jest before pointing out that he added anoth-er player to his rotation in sophomore Jared Wielsma. “That was his first game with us.”

Wielsma scored four points and pulled down four rebounds in limited action to give Wermuth a breather. Wielsma (6-foot-4, 260 pounds) and Wermuth (6-foot-4, 240 pounds) offer size to Northbridge’s guard-ori-ented lineup.

“With all our little guys moving, those two add a little dimension to us,” said Katz.

But, with the Rams playing so well and the Pirates trailing, 54-39, going into the fourth quarter, Oxford didn’t go down quietly. They outscored Northbridge, 21-15, and cut the deficit down to five points, 63-58, following a 3-pointer from senior Caleb Nfodjo with 1:14 to play.

But the Pirates, in foul trouble for most of the game, could get no closer, as the Rams made some free throws to finish off a nine-point victory.

“I thought we execut-ed good, but then [when we picked up fouls] we reached instead of beat-ing them to the spot. Every time they would give a wiggle-jiggle we would react to the wig-gle and we’d be the reac-tion,” explained Oxford head coach Dave Aldrich, whose team dropped to 5-10.

The Pirates kept them-selves in the game thanks to 11 made 3-pointers, with junior Alex Duval (23 points) an Nfodjo (14 points) doing the bulk of the scoring work.

“We just don’t know how to win, we panic. We’re learning, but unfortunately we’re not going to be able to go to the [district] tourna-ment. It’s tough for my seniors,” said Aldrich.

Northbridge, now 14-2, has its sights set on the Clark Tournament.

“Our resume is done for the Clark. It’s going to be a 2 seed, or at worst a 3,” said Katz. “We’re sort of just doing our thing and 14 wins is a lot of wins with three [reg-ular season games] left plus postseason. I’m fine being quiet and doing our thing.”

Warriors’ swim resultsJan. 31Tantasqua competes in Mid-Wach Championships — With the

Warriors hosting the Midland-Wachusett League Championships, Tantasqua’s boys’ team came out firing and finished in third place. Jonah Green took third place in the diving event, which took place a day before (Jan. 30). The medley relay team of Andrew Wade, Ethan Hunter-Mason, Robert Wilson (of Quaboag) and Bryce Iller finished in third, while Iller had top-five finishes in the 500 free (second) and the 100 free (fifth). Andrew Wade took sixth in the 200 free. Finally, the 200 free relay team of Adon Osimo, Zach Lavallee, Wade and Iller came in second.

On the girls’ side, Tantasqua’s Sarah Kersting-Mumm of Oxford finished fifth in the 200 free, while Katie Wade placed fifth in the 50 free en route to the Warriors finished a respectable seventh place as a team. Everyone — from both the boys and girls — swam well and Tantasqua had a large num-ber of sectional qualifiers.

WEBSTER – Wanda (Kielbasa) Jarosz, 97, died Wednesday, January 30, 2019, at home with her fam-ily at her side. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 69 years, Kazimierz Jarosz, in 2016.

She is survived by several nieces and nephews; grandnieces and grand-nephews, and their families. She was preceded by her parents; brothers, Stephen and John; and sister, Jenny Skowron. Wanda deeply cherished and was profoundly proud of her entire family.

Born in Uxbridge, Wanda spent much of her childhood through young adulthood in Poland, where she met and married her husband. On arrival in the United States, they settled in Uxbridge until moving to the home they loved so much in Webster. There they were good neighbors to all. Wanda took great pride in her home, where she excelled as devoted homemaker, welcoming hostess, and gracious pres-ence. Wanda maintained an expansive recipe collection. She enjoyed cook-ing delicious, filling meals, and she was particularly adept at baking tradi-tional Polish treats, including favorite cakes and special pastries for those she loved. Her sweet tea was beyond excellent.

Wanda was a humble woman, with innate wisdom. She was a woman who lived her faith; she found peace and comfort in prayer and contemplation. She was kind, gentle, and benevolent. Wanda found joy in her relationships with family and friends near and far. She wrote touching, caring, and heart-felt letters in her beautiful penman-ship. She spent many hours in phone conversations with loved ones, both exchanging news and bestowing her unique blessings for their good health and happiness.

Wanda and her husband maintained

a large, bountiful garden. They spent many hours working together in their yard and caring for their indoor plants. Wanda found beauty and signs of God’s grace in everything. She took time daily to admire nature, enjoy life’s sim-ple pleasures, and appreciate the inge-nuity of modern conveniences. Wanda was an avid reader of daily newspapers in both Polish and English. She was an excellent bargain hunter and a devoted fan of “The Price is Right”.

Wanda was a talented seamstress who applied her skills at several tex-tile mills in the Blackstone Valley. For many years, she sewed clothes for herself and her family. She provided expert advice to others who sought her help, assisting them with complex patterns and intricate finishing details. Wanda was also a gifted knitter and crocheter, crafting beautiful afghans, sweaters, mittens, slippers, and doilies. She openly admired the handiwork of other crafters with deep appreciation for their skills.

Wanda was always interested in global issues, and shared insightful perspectives based on her life experi-ences. She was a marvelous storyteller of family history. She could be thought-ful and serious, yet add a twist of wit when least expected. Wanda offered complexity wrapped in simplicity, calmness in the midst of turbulence, and optimism in times of trial. Above all, Wanda manifested a joy of life that glowed in her eyes and radiated in her smile. She has blessed those whose lives she touched with that memory.

Wanda’s funeral was held Tuesday, February 5, from the Sitkowski & Malboeuf Funeral Home, 340 School Street, with a Mass at 10:30 AM in Saint Joseph Basilica, 53 Whitcomb Street.
