I n t e r i m Superintendent Dr. Kristine Nash discussed the proposed policy changes after discuss- ing the concerns of the districts registrar and finding that the current policy fails to take into account families that do not sign a lease or those who are living with a res- ident of Dudley, but are not renting or owning property. “Over the last few months, we’ve had a number of discussions because of the difficulty for (the registrar) to fol- low the existing policy. She indicates that there’s been an increase in the family members sharing housing with relatives and this makes verifying residency for new fami- lies more difficult which, in turn, delays the start of students in school,” Nash said. The proposed changes were presented in a first reading of the revised pol- icy in February, where Nash laid out three major alterations to the docu- ments to clarify what is required of parents to prove their residency in Dudley or Charlton. The first change involves home buyers in town and when students will be able to start in school if a sale in in process and not yet complete. “The challenge is that when someone is saying that they are about to close on their home can they start their child (in school)?” Nash told the school committee. “We have no language right now for someone who is closing (on a house). We want to be able to pro- vide some opportunities and some way of defining this is what we could ask them to provide for us.” The new policy would require a copy of the home closing document with a passing date as well as a mortgage pay- ment receipt within 60 days of enrolling a stu- dent in the school system.

Last year the town of Dudley budgeted $450,000 for a pair of projects at the municipal build- ing which acts as Dudley’s town hall facility housing sev- eral town offices, the Dudley Police Department, the senior center and the Veterans Office.

The second part is replac- ing the building’s roof which has outlived its useful life, is beyond its warranty and has begun to leak in several parts of the building. The town hired an architect in the closing months of 2018 who quoted the price of the roof at $300,000. Town officials budgeted $350,000 to allow for a buffer in case bids came in higher than the estimated cost. When selectmen were made aware of bid in February they were informed that not only was the lowest bid higher than the estimated project cost, it was higher than the actual bud- get for the roof. “Our low bid is $364,000 which the architect’s estimate was under, but it’s still a good price,” Town Administrator Balukonis told selectmen. “The work would commence in March and be completed no later than June 1 - My effort is to look and see where we may have an additional $20,855.

What we didn’t anticipate was that the low bid was still going to exceed the amount of money we budgeted,” Balukonis said later adding that he believes the investment is worth it all the same. “The fact that we didn’t get anything within our budget is disappointing, but I still think we’re within the realm of getting the project approved.” Balukonis said there could be an easy explanation for the dra- matic disparity in bidding num- School District making changes to residency policies BY JASON BLEAU TIMES CORRESPONDENT DUDLEY – The town of Dudley is home to many ameni- ties, including a relatively new library, Nichols College, and numerous hiking trails.

The Mavericks have become a fan favorite at Indian Ranch, performing year after year to enthusiastic crowds that just want to dance. The Mavericks’ blend of Cuban grooves and Bakersfield-inspired twang netted them several CMA and ACM Awards plus a Grammy in 1995. The group has charted numerous singles and albums while earning accolades as one of the finest live bands in the business. The genre-defy-ing Mavericks released Brand New Day in 2017 garnering two Grammy nominations. Seamlessly merging strains of
Tex-Mex, Cuban bolero, R&B, blues, country and rock ‘n’ roll, the album introduces a collec-tion of taut, energetic, econom-ical songs sure to be embraced by both original fans of their top-10 albums and a new gen-eration of listeners who have joined since their 2012 reunion.
After a successful inaugu-ral year, HairFest returns to Indian Ranch on September 28th, transporting concertgo-ers back to the 80s during a day jam packed with music from the greatest hair band tributes. AC/DC tribute band Dirty Deeds, will headline the festi-val. 2018 festival favorites Bon Jersey, Bon Jovi tribute band, and Aquanett who per-form a variety of 80s hair band hits, will return for 2019. Other acts include Shot of Poison, a Poison tribute band, and Welcome to the Jungle, a Guns N’ Roses tribute band.
Produced by Octo Rock Cinema Productions, Local CountryFest returns to Indian
Ranch for its third year, cele-brating the vibrant local coun-try music scene in Southern New England. This year’s festival includes six bands on the main stage including headliner No Shoes Nation, a Kenny Chesney tribute band playing Local CountryFest for the first time ever. Other acts include Annie Brobst Band, Darren Bessette Band, Mychael David, Jake Ash Band, and Lyssa Coulter. Other acts on the lineup include Meghan Lynch, Matt York, Taylor O’Connor, and Tim Buono.
Indian Ranch offers music lovers a chance to see some of the greatest country, classic rock and pop bands steps from the lake.

WORCESTER — The Assumption College Office of Student Activities has announced that Alyssa Jalbert, of Oxford, is currently serving as presi-dent of the Student Philanthropy Club for the 2018-19 academic year.
The Student Philanthropy Club seeks to educate students, faculty, and staff about the importance of giving back to the College to provide opportunities for future students to attend Assumption.
Assumption offers nearly 60 clubs and organizations that provide stu-dents the opportunity to network with professionals; take on leadership roles; and apply classroom knowledge to bet-ter the community. The student-run clubs appeal to a variety of interests and include offerings such as academic clubs (psychology, neuroscience, etc.); media (College television station, liter-ary magazine and student newspaper); athletics, and many more.
“Student involvement is an import-
ant aspect of personal and professional growth at Assumption,” said Kaitlin Bevins, director of student activi-ties and leadership development. “Engagement in one or more of the wide array of student clubs and orga-nizations encourages students devel-op their leadership skills and discover their passion. Participation outside the classroom, in community and social set-tings, also helps them hone their talents and skills and builds confidence.”
Learning at Assumption happens inside and outside the classroom, in the local community and beyond. In addi-tion to the strong academic curriculum, the variety of clubs and organizations promote the importance of social, rec-reational, academic, and cultural activ-ities among the student body. Joining clubs on campus gives students the chance to hone their leadership skills, meet new friends, network with faculty and staff, and perhaps find one’s future
Founded in 1904 by the Augustinians of the Assumption in Worcester, Mass., Assumption College is a Catholic liberal arts institution that offers undergradu-ate students 35 majors and 47 minors in the liberal arts, sciences, business, and professional studies; as well as master’s and continuing education degrees and professional certificate programs-each through an educational experience that is grounded in the rich Catholic intellec-tual tradition. The curriculum enables students to gain a depth and breadth of knowledge that leads to profession-al success and personal fulfillment. Students-whether on the Worcester campus or at the College’s Rome, Italy, campus-become engaged participants in Assumption’s classic liberal arts edu-
cation, exploring new ideas and making connections across disciplines.

bers. His theory is that some companies applied for the job without expecting to be hired. The mentality then would be to put in a higher priced bid and if the town decided to accept that cost they would take a job they didn’t necessarily need for the higher profit. Balukonis added that it’s not uncommon for bid-ders to submit higher costs for projects with unknowns and variable. Dudley’s issue with underlying insulation could present such an issue for any company taking on the project.
Selectmen are expected to discuss and approve a bid this month.

community and it would provide a resource that’s not just a gym. It would hold people on the high-er standard for environmental awareness and help them under-stand what the environment is like around here. Half of the fun is going to see the view on the mountain and the sunsets. There would be a spike in tourist and there’s a lot of businesses that would like (the foot traffic).”
Salonis was thorough in his justification of the trail explain-ing that it would provide eco-nomic benefit to the community by allowing mountain bikers from throughout the region a place to ride. Salonis even offered to lead the efforts to establish a committee of volunteers to help support and spearhead the ini-tiative stating that he is aware of
grants that could be used for the effort. He proposed property in the vicinity of Nichols College as the site of the trail.
While Salonis was informed that Dudley has trails suitable for biking he insisted that a more appropriate trail would be beneficial as the natural condi-tions of many trails may not be conducive to biking. Town Administrator Greg Balukonis noted that the Recreation Commission in town is in charge of such projects and he felt it was a concept that commission would be “anxious” to explore.
Selectmen welcomed the idea warmly and compliment Salonis on his well-prepared statements and willingness to step forward to lead the project if necessary. Selectman John Marsi explained that while the concept sounds good it’s important that the town follow the necessary steps if they are going to proceed with bring-
ing a mountain bike trail to the community.
“One of the things that we like to here is economic devel-opment. Anything that brings people to town I have favor of. There’s a lot of questions around access,” Marsi said. “I know the land trust and some conserva-tion people like to promote that we have these walking trails. I’m thinking if it was tied to some-thing like that it might be effec-tive. Before we get into funding anything, we need to figure out what it is, what it would look like and can we even do it.”
Selectmen said they would like to hear what recreation and conservation officials have to say about the idea comparing Salonis’ idea to the numerous Eagle Scout projects that have benefited Dudley in the past. Zoning officials may also be involved in the process as well.

When it’s time to do your estate planning – and it’s actu-ally never too soon to begin – you may find the process, at first, to be somewhat bewilder-ing. You’ll have many ques-tions: What sort of arrange-ments should I make? Who should get what? And when? How can you address these and other issues?
You’ll need to get some help. In drawing up your
estate plan, you will need to work with an attor-ney. And for guidance on the investments that can help fund your estate planning arrangements, such as a living trust, you can draw on the help of a financial advisor. You also may want to connect
with a trust company, which can help facilitate your estate plans and coordinate the activ-ities of your legal and financial professionals.
Of course, you might think
that only the very wealthy need a trust company. But that’s not really the case – people of many income levels have long used these companies. As long as
you have a reasonable amount of financial assets, you likely can benefit from the various services provided by a trust organization.
And these services can range from administra-

Winter sure does not want to let go this year. Every year around March 1, I start to drag my boat and trailer out of winter storage. It is not stored very far from my home, and I can work on some of the necessary repairs prior to opening day of trout fishing at Wallum Lake in Douglas! Looking at the boat every day as I step out of my house gives me a feeling that fishing in my boat is not far away.
This past week, I decided to do a little bit of ice fishing at the Uxbridge Rod & Gun Club pond. As I pulled up to the pond, there was a lone angler fishing, but I did not recognize the face. As I headed out to the area that I normally fish, I soon realized the lone fisher-man was Hunter Salvas, son of Kurt Salvas and grandson of the late Ralph Salvas. I had watched Kurt Salvas grow up during many of my days at the
Uxbridge Rod & Gun Club, and now I can watch Hunter, hunt-ing & fishing as his dad and grandfather did. Three gener-ations of the Salvas family, and they all enjoy hunting and fishing.
Kurt Salvas has done a great job bringing up his two boys in the Valley, and has also taught them the art of fly fishing. They all are
well experienced fly fishing anglers for trout and enjoy saltwater fishing. As I spoke to the young angler he reflected on some of his enjoyable days fish-ing with his brother, dad and the late Steve Mercure , who passed away a few months ago. This writer will also miss Steve, as he was a great friend and fishing buddy.
The trio spent a week with Steve in upstate New York fishing for salm-on and brown trout in the spring of last year, even though they knew his health was failing. It was one of
Steve’s last wishes to fish Lake Ontario before he died, as Steve was hooked on Lake Ontario fishing in his younger years, fishing with his brother Dick and his many friends. The Salvas family made it happen! Great job, boys!
On March 16, the Wallum Lake Rod & Gun Club will hold there annual steak dinner starting at 5:30 p.m. at the Club house in Harrisville, R.I. It is one of the best meals in town. Don’t miss it. For more information, go to

Grade 7: Brielle Christenson, Daniel Kudron, Robert Fisher, Catherine Magnusson, Jessica Parent, Aurora Voas
ing at 116 School St. that was most recently used as the Webster Senior Center, the Webster Head Start Center was a $2.8 million initiative that received $600,000 through the state’s Early Education & Out of School Time Capital Fund Program, $1.1 million through the Federal Administration of Children and Families, and many pri-vate donations. WCAC entered into a 25 year lease with the town to complete the project and was able to add four Head Start classrooms, an elevator, new heating and cooling systems, a fire sup-pression system, improved plumbing, and technology and security upgrades because of so many personal and corpo-rate contributions.
“It does take a village to raise children, and what a beautiful vil-lage you are providing,” said Carol Nolan, Associate Commissioner for Programming and Grants in the Department of Early Education and Care and Head Start State Collaboration Director. “These children are in a build-ing designed to provide quality care from the start.”
According to WCAC, Webster
represents its second highest commu-nity of need and many families strug-gle with the high cost of child care. The council not only works to help these children in the years before they enter Kindergarten, but also encourag-es parents to become involved by vol-unteering in the classrooms, attending trainings and workshops, and joining committees and the Head Start Policy Council.
“We realize how fortunate we are to be in the community we are in,” said Tara Reyes, a Webster Head Start parent and member of the Head Start Policy Council. “They come home with smiles and stories and we can be more involved,”
Reyes has several children in Head Start, one of whom graduated from the program and has since become Student of the Month at his current school.
“A teacher asked where we put him in school, and I got to say he was in Head Start,” she said.
For more information on the Head Start program and the new Webster location, go to http://www.wcac.net/youth-and-family-services/head-start. To inquire about enroll-ment, call the Worcester Community Action Council at 508-765-4738.
HEAD STARTcontinued from page 1
The new policy also further clarifies the deadlines for home owners requiring them to provide documents including a tax bill or payment within the last 30 days as of the day of the child’s enroll-ment.
Another issue being resolved through the new policy is residents who are rent-ing but do not sign a lease. The current language requires a copy of the lease and a record of recent rental payment however resident who don’t sign leases would only be able to provide half of that information. Since there are some landlords that only ask for payment on a month-to-month basis the policy is being altered to reflect how those rent-ers would prove their residence prop-erly.
“We’ve had to be a little bit more liber-al in interpreting the current language. We would ask that they would either show a copy of the lease and/or a copy of a recent rental payment or a copy of a notarized statement from your land-lord attesting to residency and then, of course, a copy of a payment,” Nash said.
The third and final category of resi-dents being addressed in the new policy are those that live in Dudley but don’t rent or own property. These are usually people living in a family members home as an official occupant and who may contribute to the household but do not
pay rent or a mortgage in a traditional manner that would be easily document-ed. This is the most significant change to the policy as, to this point, there has been no language defining how to verify the residency of these kinds of families.
“We understand that there are going to be many situations where people move in for financial reasons, for healthcare reasons, and they’re not pay-ing rent so they can’t produce anything that shows us their rent and they don’t own the home,” Nash said.
The solution is that the new policy will require a shared housing affidavit that must be notarized notarization and that the homeowner or landowner must appear in person with the parent or guardian at the time of registration and provide the appropriate documents.
Members of the School Committee had few questions regarding the policy although there were inquiries about how violations would be handled going forward. Nash said if it is discovered that someone was not actually living in the towns of Charlton or Dudley the students wouldn’t be immediately removed from school but rather the parents would be notified and asked to meet with the superintendent to resolve the situation. Any further action would be decided after that meeting.
The School Committee is expected to readdress and potentially approve the new policy this month.

Editorial
A variety of financial “scams” continue to occur. These are frequent occurrences, designed to take advantage of people’s gen-erosity or lack of knowledge. As a follow up to my last article on
the IRS, I want-ed to bring two others to your attention that occurred in town within the last few weeks. As has been men-tioned, tele-phone, Internet, and mail scams have been occurring for many years. With advanc-es in technolo-
gy, these occur with greater fre-quency. Those responsible prey on unsuspecting individuals and obtain either quick cash or other personal data, such as bank account numbers. A person was recent-ly contacted and told there was a warrant for their arrest, possibly based on their Social Security num-ber being compromised. They were told they would need to correct this immediately and pay money, or the local authorities would be by to arrest them. The scammers in these instances often have some basic information about their tar-get, and will be very persistent. Fortunately, no information was shared. Should this occur, and you wish to check on your status, the Social Security Office is the best resource. The government rarely, if ever, conducts business over the phone. Police departments would not call in these instances, especial-ly if they can simply go see you in person. If there are tax questions, and you have your taxes prepared by a professional, they should also be able to assist you. You can also seek assistance through your bank, credit card companies, or other agencies you do business with to determine your best course of action. Identity protection services can also help bring you peace of mind if that is the way you wish to proceed. These can play a vital role in safeguarding your identity by notifying you of attempts to access your personal information.
Another recent situation involved an older woman who was called by a person claiming to be her grand-son. He informed her he had been arrested and she needed to send money for bail. Fortunately, she checked with our office prior to sending thousands of dollars to the scammer and the problem was averted. Many of these scams are often based in a foreign country and the elderly are frequently targets. People take advantage of a senior’s kind nature and can sometimes fool them into believing the story.
The important thing to remember is do not conduct business trans-actions unless you are sure of the people and places you are deal-ing with. If you are not expecting something (money or other items), there is a strong likelihood that the offer is not legitimate. If someone you know is possibly in trouble, try to verify the story with family, friends, or even the police. Be very cognizant of these scam possibili-ties and report these immediately to the police and or your bank. Be very protective of your personal information. When in doubt, ask a question of the proper authorities and avoid becoming a victim.

What we need the
mostWhat are the most essential things
in life? What can we absolutely not live without? Some would say health, love and laughter; others might value freedom, family and friends. Happiness, success and wealth might also make the list. But how about…bread, milk and toilet paper?
If you’ve ever been to a grocery store in the 24-hour period before a forecasted storm, you know that this is exactly what, apparently, constitutes the most important things in life.
It seems to happen every time: the weather forecasters predict the mam-moth storm of the century and within hours, a simple trip to the supermarket becomes an episode of a survival reality show. Shelves are emptied, there’s not a single cart available and people roam the aisles with a look of both deter-mination and desperation. The bread shelves are depleted; the milk cases are emptied; the paper products aisle is a wasteland (so to speak).
Our daily routines give life a shape and a focus, and when that routine is disrupted, we instinctively insulate our-selves with comforts and necessities. Weather forecasters have a knack for triggering that instinct, but almost any “out of the ordinary” event can do the same thing (remember Y2K?)
If our day-to-day living is threatened in any way, however temporarily, we batten the hatches and lay in the pro-visions and huddle around our devices (all fully charged as a precaution) and wait for the impending doom.
Our long-term plans are put on hold in favor of making sure, immediately, that we have what it will take to get through The Storm. The focus is on managing, feeling safe and secure and not wanting to be caught without some essential thing. Toilet paper clearly makes that list for reasons that are very obvious; bread and milk are more of a head-scratcher but obviously symbolize comfort to many. In some households, beer and wine might be the focus; in others, potato chips or cookies.
While catastrophe-related incon-veniences are usually temporary, the build-in need for security, safety and comfort doesn’t waver. The empty store shelves prove that we are in good com-pany with one another during these events. Ultimately, everyone has some-thing that they can’t imagine being without, even for the duration of a storm.

Several weeks ago, a long-time friend entered hospice care at a Central Mass nursing home. Previously, he and his wife had been sharing a tiny apartment in an elderly complex. When his COPD symptoms became unmanageable, he called 911 and found himself hospitalized. This hospitalization led him to the nursing home and hospice.
How many thousands of sick and elder-ly people find themselves in these similar circumstances today? How many have the support from family and friends that they need? Today, I would like to share some reflections on this topic which come out of my experience of dealing with the sick and elderly over the past 20 or more years.
My friend, who just entered hospice in the nursing home, has been living with declining health for at least six or more years. He has fiercely fought to remain at home and, even now, seeks to return to his apartment despite the fact that he can barely walk. To my friend, the word “home” seems to mean comfort, familiar-ity and independence. He does not want to lose these as he prepares for the end of life. Yet, presently, there seems to be no other rational way than to allow medical professionals to care for him in his illness.
What does the word “nursing home” mean to most people? It seems that, for most of us, the word has negative conno-tations. It means a loss of freedom, being uncomfortable and unfamiliar, being away from family, friends and familiar routines, intrusive medical treatments, a loss of privacy, bad food and perhaps poor service when one is dependent upon oth-ers to provide that service. Sadly, “nurs-ing home” also is synonymous with the word “expensive.” So many elderly who enter nursing homes lose their life sav-ings paying for it. Money that they wish to pass down to loved ones is used simply for nursing home costs and people who have worked their whole lives and saved for retirement end up losing everything due
to nursing home fees. The entrance of a loved
one into a nursing home also often means chaos for those left to care for their affairs. Family members or friends must deal with find-ing important papers, deal-ing with financial matters and selling property. There is the need to “clean out,”
sell or discard items that the one who has entered the nursing home permanently no longer needs. This is a heavy burden for those charged with this responsibility.
The most important thing that a sick elder needs when he or she faces the end of his or her life is knowing that someone is there for them. This “knowing” gives the elder a sense of peace and security. For those with families, this situation is usually better as the family understands its responsibility to care for the elder. Yet, some sick elders with families do not receive their support due to various circumstances.
For those sick elders without families, however, the circumstances are much harder. Not only must they face the diffi-cult realities of sickness and death, they must do so alone.
It is clear that God does not want sick elders to face the difficult circumstances at the end of their lives alone. As people of faith, God may invite us to “adopt” a sick elder so that they are not alone at the end of their lives. Our “adoption” may make the difference between an elder dying in fear and despair and an elder dying in peace and believing in God’s love for them. God asks us to embody His love to those who are most vulnerable.
My friend who just entered hospice is an only child without family. So is his wife. All they have is “church family” and I am part of that family. As we begin Lent on March 6, let us reflect on how God is inviting us to notice the needs of the most vulnerable around us and respond to those needs with generosity.

Spring will be here before you know it, and few simple pleasures com-pare to cruising down the highway with the fresh springtime breeze blowing in the open window. But do you really know how much that joyride is cost-ing you in gas? And are you sure your tires are giving you your money’s worth? For answers to these questions, along with some springtime car washing tips, read on!
***Do you love highway driving with the
wind whipping at your hair? If so, it’s a pleasure you’ll pay for. Did you know driving with your windows all the way down at higher speeds, will waste 10 per-cent more gallons of gas than driving with them closed? The drag will cost you more in fuel, so avoid cranking the win-dows completely until you’re at a slower pace.
***If your car has cruise control feature,
use it. Not only will you give your accel-erating foot a rest, you’ll save money too! Using cruise control will save you 5 to 10 percent of a gallon of gas on long trips!
***Want to conserve more gas? Just use
the overdrive shift as soon as your speed is high enough. It also acts as a fuel saver.
***Keeping tires properly inflated and
aligned equals gas savings. Periodic wheel alignments and keeping tires inflated to the maximum recommended pressure really does improve your gas mileage, according to experts.
***According to a major tire company
approximately one third of all tires on the road are under inflated. These tires not only wear out quicker and but they are more at risk for a blow out. Since tires lose air at a rate of about a pound a month, it pays to periodically check your tires
***Not sure how to rotate your tires?
According to the experts, radial tires can be crossed from side to side in the rota-tion pattern. Bias ply tires should never be rotated from side to side, only front to back.
***Confused when it comes to using your
car air conditioner efficiently? Memorize this mantra: In town, turn it down; going fast, let it blast! According to cooling experts, when traveling 45 mph or less, you should open the windows or vents to create a steady airflow that’ll give your car a cool boost. When going faster than 45 mph, you should crank up the a/c instead. This method avoids the drag generated when windows are left open during high-speed travel.
***Believe it or not, tires driven at 70
m.p.h. wear out almost twice as fast as
cars that go 55 mph. So it really does pay to slow down!
***Here are some tips for
the do it yourself car wash-er:
Experts claim you should wash your car every ten days, and especially after it rains or snows. Waxing
is recommended only every six months. ***From Consumer Reports: When rins-
ing, use a hose without a nozzle and let the water flow over the car from top to bottom. This creates a sheeting action that helps minimize pooling of water.
***Did you know more frequent waxes
are needed if your car is red, black or white? The reason for this is because these colors are more susceptible to acid rain and UV rays. And one of the most critical times to wash your vehicle is immediately after a rainfall. Even after the lightest rain shower, the water evap-orates, but the acid remains on the vehi-cle’s finish.
***When you wash your car, be sure to
use a separate sponge to clean the wheels and tires. They may be coated with sand, brake dust, and other debris that could mar the car’s finish.
***Never wash your car when the body is
hot, such as immediately after driving it or after it has been parked in direct sun-light for awhile. Heat speeds the drying of soap and water, making washing more difficult and increasing the chances that spots or deposits will form.
***If you need to get all the water off the
car, try using your leaf blower. It will blast water from even the tiniest crevices.

WEBSTER — Of the team-high 20 points that Bartlett High guard Brandon Boucher scored against St. Bernard’s High on Tuesday, Feb. 26, none were bigger than the last two he scored — on a left-side 12-foot jumper with 23 seconds to play. That clutch basket helped the Indians hold off the Bernardians, 75-71, in the first round of the Central Mass. Division 3 Tournament on Tuesday, Feb. 26.
With the win eighth-seed-ed Bartlett advanced to the quarterfinal round of the tour-nament, where it played at top-seeded Hudson High (20-2) on Friday, March 1. There, the Indians saw their season come to a close. They lost a close decision to the Hawks, 62-56, to finish 15-7.
Boucher’s bucket essential-ly sealed the win for Bartlett versus the Bernardians. St.
Bernard’s (13-8) had just cut the Indians’ lead to two, 73-71, 22 seconds earlier on a 3-pointer by Walter Morales (14 points). Once Bartlett got the ball in play Boucher dribbled up the left side, stopped, stepped back and took the shot.
“My first thought was to attack the basket and get the best shot for my team and maybe get fouled and get to the [free throw] line,” said the sophomore, who drained a pair of 3-pointers earlier in the game. “When I saw I could break down my [defender] I pulled up and took the shot and, luckily, it went in and we got the win.”
Boucher quickly added, how-ever, that offense didn’t win the game for the Indians as much as their defense did.
“This win was because of our defense,” Boucher said. “We needed to work hard on defense and we did and it got us the win. We worked hard all week
in practice and that’s how we got it done.”
Junior Logan Paranto (19 points, three 3-pointers) also complimented the play of the team’s defense, particular-ly senior Dylan Paddleford and sophomore Dylan Grandmaison, the two for-wards who were tasked with stopping St. Bernard’s 6-foor-9 senior Keegan Sharp.
Sharp, in the first meeting of the teams, an 89-85 double-over-time win by the Bernardians back on Feb. 9, scored 44 points and grabbed 20 rebounds.
“Our big men played great tonight. I give a lot of credit to them tonight. They played very well on Sharp. Both Dylans played great. They were both outstanding. I honestly think you should be interviewing them instead of Brandon and me,” Paranto said. “We knew that St. Bernard’s works hard all the time. We give a lot of credit to them; they came out and played hard. But we got the ‘W’ so I think we played harder.”
Tony Paranto, Logan’s father and the Indians’ head coach, said stopping — or at least slowing down — Sharp was Bartlett’s main objective com-ing into the game.
“The first time around [Sharp] had 44 points and 20 rebounds, so we worked hard on stopping him. We knew we were going to have a hard time stopping Jakai [Alexandre, who finished with a game-high 33 points]; he’s an explosive guard. But, I thought if we could stop one out of the two, well that was the game plan,” coach Paranto said. “I think we did a pretty good job on him. I think Dylan Grandmaison and Dylan Paddleford did a great job. Dylan Grandmaison is an afterthought for us sometimes as a sophomore, but I thought he played outstanding against the senior.”
Bartlett’s hot starts to begin both halves was the key to win-ning the game. The Indians scored the first 11 points of the game and then led, 22-9, at the end of the first quarter. St. Bernard’s, however rallied late in the second quarter, outscor-ing Bartlett 10-4 in the final three minutes and pulling to within a point, 37-36, with 14 seconds left in the half to trail by just three, 39-36, at halftime.
Boucher, not surprisingly, gave the Indians their three-point halftime cushion with a drive and layup with five sec-ond left in the half.
Tony Paranto said his team wasn’t feeling frustrated at halftime, despite having sur-rendered a double-digit, first half lead.
“I don’t think there was any pressure at all,” coach Paranto said. “We were playing at home and we still had the lead. I told the kids, ‘there’s nobody in front of us, just open up the second half with the poise that we had in the first half and the adrenaline we had in the first
half.’ I thought we did that.”The Indians did indeed, open-
ing the second half with a 16-2 run — which included a 10-0 run to start the third quarter — to lead by its biggest margin, 17 points, 55-38, with 2:50 left in the third period.
Bartlett led, 62-48, as play entered the fourth quarter.
The Indians led, 73-62, with two minutes to play, but St. Bernard’s made things inter-esting, hitting three 3-pointers on a stretch of four possessions to cut the lead two, 73-71 with 45 seconds to play, setting up Boucher’s late heroics.

Pirates’ season, Parmenter’s stellar career comes to a close in playoff loss
Monday, Feb. 25Central Mass. Division 3 Girls’ Basketball First
Round(7) Tyngsborough 60, (10) Oxford 48 — The Pirates
began this 2018-19 season 0-3 but then won 14 of their next 17 games to finish 14-6 and qualify for District play for the fourth straight season. There, the Tigers got the better of Oxford as the Pirates finished 14-7.
Oxford senior Gina Parmenter finished her stellar four-year career with a total of 1,603 points — good for the second most in school history. Parmenter will con-tinue her academic and athletic career at Fitchburg State University.

tion of a variety of trusts (such as living trusts and charitable trusts) to asset-management ser-vices (bill-paying, check-writ-ing, etc.) to safekeeping services (such as providing secure vaults for jewelry and collectibles).
In short, using a trust compa-
ny can make things a lot easier when it’s time to plan and exe-cute your estate. A trust compa-ny can help you in the following ways:
Avoiding family squabbles
– It’s unfortunate, but true: Dividing the assets of an estate can cause ill will and turmoil among family members. But a trust company can act as a neu-tral third party, thus minimizing any feelings of unfairness.
Providing greater con-
trol – When you establish an arrangement such as a living trust, administered by the trust
company, you can give yourself great control over how you want your assets distributed. For example, you can specify that a certain child receive portions of your estate spaced out over several years – a move that may appeal to you if you think this child might not be ready to han-dle large sums all at once.
Saving time and effort – As
mentioned above, when you work with a trust company, you can let it do all the “legwork” of coordinating your plans with your financial professional, tax advisor and attorney. And these professionals are used to dealing with trust companies.
Gaining Protection – Trust
companies assume fiduciary responsibility for your financial well-being – which means that your best interests will always be considered in each service and transaction performed.
You can choose from among
a variety of trust companies,
large and small. Before choosing one, you may want to check out the services and fees of a few different firms. In any case, as you move toward that time of your life when estate planning becomes more essential, talk to your attorney, tax advisor and financial professional about whether using the services of a trust company might be right for you.

SportSAuburn upsets Algonquin to reach
Tournament semifinalsWESTBOROUGH — With the Auburn High boys’
varsity co-op ice hockey team grabbing the sixth and final seed in the Central Mass. Division 3 Tournament, the Rockets would be up against tough competition no matter whom they faced off with.
On Saturday, March 2 at the NorthStar Youth
Forum, Auburn had the task of playing against No. 3 Algonquin Regional in the tournament quarterfinals. The Tomahawks defeated the Rockets in the regular season, 3-1, but the locals (comprised of Auburn High, Tantasqua Regional and Shepherd Hill Regional stu-dent-athletes) had other ideas this time around.
Auburn held on to defeat Algonquin, 3-2, and advance to the District semifinals. There, the Rockets (12-8-1) will play No. 2 Wachusett Regional (14-4-2) after press time (Wednesday, March 6 at the Wallace Civic Center). The Tomahawks finished 13-5-3.

Mohegan Bowl winter leagues, week ending March 3
BY NICK ETHIERSPORTS STAFF WRITER
CHARLTON — For the longest time the Bay Path Regional girls’ varsity basketball program couldn’t gener-ate enough wins to reach the Central Mass. Division 4 Tournament. The Minutemen have since crossed that item off the checklist, having qualified for District play now in five straight seasons.
Next up on Bay Path’s bucket list was winning a playoff game, as the Minutemen had lost in the preliminary round in 2015 and in the first round in 2016, ’17 and ’18.
Bay Path, seeded second this year following a 16-4 regular season, had the opportunity to do so versus No. 15 Assabet Valley, a team that they beat twice during the regular season. In the game, played Wednesday, Feb. 27, the Minutemen shook off a slow start and dominated the second half en route to a 59-34 victory.
“I’ve been here for 11 years and I’ve never seen a Bay Path girls’ team advance in Districts, so this was a big moment for all of us,” said Bay Path head coach John Selen. “This moment, this is what we’ve been working for.”
“Every year we’ve been able to go to Districts, but we’d always get blown out. This year we wanted to get past that first game,” added Alexxus Afriyie, one of eight seniors on the team.
The Minutemen led, 13-10, after the first quarter and by seven points, 24-17, at halftime, but the victory was still in doubt. Selen remembered what he told his squad in the locker room heading into the third quarter.
“We talked a little about our emotions to start the game. I’m not sure if it was overconfidence, but they came out with nerves,” he started. “The bad news is we’ve played one of our worst halves this year. The good news is we’re up by seven points. We just need to play Bay Path basketball and do our job.”
Bay Path did just that in the third. Madison Paulhus opened the frame with a 3-pointer, Kiara Coates added a layup, Nekelle Waskiewicz canned a 3-pointer, Coates made another layup and Paulhus sank one free throw as the Minutemen now led, 35-17, following the quarter-opening 11-0 run.
By the end of the period Bay Path led the Aztecs, 47-26, to unofficially put the game away and give the Minutemen their first District victory in over a decade.
“It was phenomenal,” Selen said of the third quarter. “They came out and everybody played up to potential. They got the job done and I’m very proud of them.”
“We shook the nerves off,” added Afriyie of playing better in the sec-ond half than the first. “Our defense, offense, passing the ball, everyone get-ting open and talking — that’s what we practice.”
When the final buzzer sounded and the Minutemen officially beat Assabet (10-11), it marked the exact moment when all of the hard work had paid off.
“We’ve been talking about this since the beginning of the year, even before the season started. We set goals every single year and the goal wasn’t just to get here, but to advance,” said Selen.
“I can’t really explain it, but it was a really fun feeling,” Afriyie said of grab-bing the W.
Emily Wong Kam (14 points, 11 rebounds), Paulhus (14 points, 7 rebounds), Coates (11 points, 13 rebounds), Waskiewicz (11 points) and Afriyie (6 points) were the Bay Path starters that ultimately got the job done.
The Minutemen were hoping to con-tinue their winning ways in District play, but No. 7 Hopedale High had other ideas in the quarterfinals. In the game, played Saturday, March 2, the Blue Raiders defeated Bay Path, 55-49 in overtime, ending the Minutemen’s season at 17-5.

This past week’s report for fishing in the valley had plenty of anglers catching large pickerel, bass, and yellow perch on jig sticks and ice tilts. Shiners were the number one choice of bait. This week’s second picture shows an impressive rainbow trout this writer caught at the Uxbridge Rod & Gun club last week on a jig stick, and a Road Runner Jig, from one of a long list of Blakemore Co. products, baited with a live shiner. The Road Runner jig is an all around jig for catching fresh & saltwater fish . They are great for catching fluke & seabass. The spinner that is affixed to the jig is the number one attractant. Go to their Web site at www.Blakemorelure.com and check out the wide range of tackle that they have available to anglers.
CAUTION: Ice on some ponds is not safe, while others are. With the snow cover, it is hard to tell ice thickness. It needs to be checked with an ice chisel for thickness ahead of every step you take. Parents should warn there family about the ice dangers, and to stay away from lakes, ponds and rivers with out adult supervision!

HOPEDALE — Having seen the Hopedale High boys’ varsity basketball team play in person, Bay Path Regional head coach Al Greenough knew that the Blue Raiders were good. But, when Hopedale hosted the Minutemen at Draper Gymnasium in the quarterfinal round of the Central Mass. Division 4 Tournament on Friday, March 1, they took it to a whole other level.
“I’ve seen them play a couple of times this year and I knew that they were a quality basketball
team — in my opinion one of the better teams in Central Mass. — but I hadn’t seen them play at this level. It seemed like tonight they cranked it up a notch and they were tremendous,” said Greenough. “Sometimes you have to tip your cap to the other team.”
Greenough added that Bay Path “played hard, they battled. I thought that this was one of the better games we played this year, but [Hopedale] wouldn’t miss.”
The end result was No. 2 Hopedale down-ing the seventh seeded Minutemen, 84-58. The
Blue Raiders (18-4) will play No. 3 Assabet Valley (18-4) in a District semi-final after press time, while Bay Path finished 16-6.
The first quarter pro-vided the most drama, with the lead changing hands several times and Cory Cotton — the Minutemen’s leading scorer — going off for 13 points. Cotton made three 3-pointers in the frame and Bay Path led, 16-14, until Hopedale went on an 11-0 run to surge ahead, 25-16. A Dan Keefe 3-pointer for the Minutemen closed the gap to 25-19 as play head-
ed to the second quarter.There, the Blue Raiders
scored 23 points to Bay Path’s 19 but the deficit was a manageable 10 points (48-38) at halftime as things then began to tilt in Hopedale’s favor in the second half. With the teams trading bas-kets and the Minutemen still trailing by 10 points (58-48), the Blue Raiders closed the quarter on a 15-0 run in just 2:11 of game time.
That put Hopedale ahead, 73-48, heading into the final frame, which they also won, 11-10, to go home 26-point winners.
Simply put, the Blue Raiders produced no matter who was on the court, as eight play-ers registered at least six points. Sam Morelli (17), Alex Luccinni (14), Dan Liberatore (13) and Robbie Siefring (11) were all double-digit scorers and as a team Hopedale shot 16-for-20 from the free throw line.
“They wore us down,” said Greenough. “They have a lot of depth on that team and the style that they play that helps them do that.”
Hopedale also won the battle on the boards by a wide margin of 42-14.
“That’s been an Achilles heel of ours, we’re not a very big team,” Greenough said. “We kind of live and die by that, so we have to do other things defensively to try to guard against that. We knew going in that boxing out was going to be huge and I don’t think we did a really good job of that. Eventually
your lack of size is going to catch up on you.”
On the Bay Path scor-ing front Cotton netted a game-high 20 points, but only seven came after the brilliant first quarter per-formance.
“He was getting his looks. He forced a cou-ple of shots I thought, but for the most part he’s our go-to guy,” Greenough said of Cotton, who aver-aged 24 points a game this season. “Offensively, we revolve around him. He gives the rest of the team energy when he’s making those shots.”
Jamie Rodriguez
chipped in 15 points for the Minutemen.
A loss — especial-ly to end a season — is always disappointing, but Greenough had kind words for his team and especially the seniors.
“These seniors have a lot to be proud of because last year they made the Districts at 12-8 and this year they qualified at 15-5 and they won a District game [for the first time since 2012] and competed for a good half anyways with one of the best teams around,” he concluded.

CHARLTON — Cory Cotton, Bay Path Regional’s sharpshoot-
er and leading scorer, opened the game — a Central Mass. Division 4 Tournament first round affair — with Colonial Athletic League rival Blackstone Valley Tech with a 3-pointer, and the Minutemen never looked back from there.
The Beavers, seeded 10th in the bracket, kept it close for much of the contest — and tied it up at one point, 35-35 — but sev-enth ranked Bay Path eventually won out, 58-47, on a game played on Tuesday, Feb. 26.
The Minutemen led after the first quarter, 20-11, only to cling to a slight 25-23 advantage at the half. Bay Path took a four-point, 39-35 lead into the final frame, where they outscored BVT to win by 11 points.
Cotton led the charge with 28 points, including six made 3-pointers, and 8 rebounds. His trey with 1:22 to play made it 53-44, essentially icing the game. Teammate Jamie Rodriguez posted a double-double (13 points, 10 rebounds).
Next up for Bay Path (16-5) is a quarterfinal round matchup at No. 2 Hopedale High (17-3).

WEBSTER - Apostolos “Paul” Xanthopoulos, 87, entered Paradise on Saturday February 23, 2019, with his lov-ing wife and family by his side.
Paul was born on March 27,
1931 in the mountain region north of Drama, Greece called Lefkoyia. He later moved to the village of Lidia in the region of Kavala, where he met Eleni, the woman who would eventu-ally become his wife of 57 years. Paul and Eleni were married on August 20, 1961, and shortly thereafter moved to Germany, where Paul attended col-lege in pursuit of a degree in Physical Education. Paul always enjoyed and excelled in athletics (track & field events, Greco-Roman wrestling) and was the top athlete in his region, where they called him “λλλλλλλλos”, or “rubber man” in his younger years.
In 1967, Paul and Eleni left their native Greece and moved to the United States, were they settled in Webster, and he took a job at the now-defunct Cranston Print Works. In 1969, Paul and his brother-in-law opened Rainbow Pizza on Main Street in Webster, before leaving in 1978 to open his own shop. Paul’s Pizza, which Paul ran with his family for the next 20 years, was a beloved icon in Webster, and is remembered fondly by many even to this day. In addition to running Paul’s Pizza with his wife Eleni, Paul also managed several residential and com-mercial properties in Webster.
Paul was an avid golfer, and was also on the bowling and softball leagues in Webster. Paul’s biggest passion, how-ever, was competing in the Masters and National Senior Olympics all over the country, which he did for more than 20 years! Paul received Gold Medals in the Javelin, Shotput, and Discus events for his age range in addition to many Silver and Bronze placements. He also
enjoyed golfing with his wife in West Yarmouth, on Cape Cod, and in Naples, Florida. Paul and Eleni were honored by the Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church at the Metropolis of Boston Ministry Awards in 2014; he was a devout and active member of Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Webster and served on the Parish Council for many years, during which time he served as Vice President. Paul was also a member of A.H.E.P.A.
Paul was a joker with a wonderful sense of humor. He was a self-taught musician who could play almost any song on the lyre and the harmonica, and his music captured your soul! He especially loved Pontian music and dancing the complicated tradition-al “Pontiaka” dances .
Paul will be deeply missed by his lov-ing wife Eleni (Koulax) Xanthopoulos; his daughter Sophia Foisy and son-in-law Stephen Foisy; his daughter Alexandra Xanthopoulos; his daughter Constantina Biondo and his son-in-law Frank Biondo; and his grandchildren Louisa Foisy, Alexandra Biondo and Nicolas Biondo. Paul also leaves many relatives here in the United States, in Greece and in England, as well as all of his dearest friends.
“May his memory be eternal” Visitation was on Thursday
February 28, 2019 from 4:00 - 7:00 pm at the Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church, 35 Lake Parkway Webster, MA. The Funeral Service was held on Friday March 1, 2019 at 11:00 am at the Church; Committal will follow at Mount Zion Cemetery in Webster, MA.
The Shaw-Majercik Funeral Home is honored to have been entrusted with Paul’s funeral arrangements.

Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church, P.O. Box 713, Webster, MA. 01570.

All of you that know Lorna will not be surprised, that per her wishes, there will be no funeral services. Her wishes were also that there would be no obit-uary and that no one was allowed to cry.
