It's Your Money by Joyce Brisbois
WHAT'S A QTIP?
Forget any jokes about cotton swabs. In estate planning, a QTIP-a qualified terminal interest property-is a tax-deferral trust that is available to married couples. It permits an individual to leave assets to a surviving spouse for his or her benefit and also name who will inherit what's left at the sur- vivor's death. It is often utilized to support a surviving spouse and still protect children from a previ- ous marriage.
The tax advantages are these: the money in the QTIP trust is consid- ered a spousal bequest and the transfer is tax-free. The trust assets are included in the sur- vivor's taxable estate, thus defer- ring taxes that would have been due from the first-to-die's estate. (Quite often, the first spouse will use up his or her federal gift tax exclusion before establishing the QTIP trust.)
It's even possible, though com- plicated, to set up a QTIP trust to inherit and distribute the assets in an IRA.
When estate planning has dollar- and-cents ramifications, we can help at:

Make-A-Wish is a national organization whose simple mis sion is to grant the wishes of children between the ages [of 2 1/2 and 18 with life threatejiing medical conditions - Its impact is immeasurably powerful.; We are always amazed by the'fact that a wish can take a chilli so very far, on such a spirit-lifting and empowering journey. rThe Make-A-Wish experience begins with a question the wish t$am asks when they first meet; the child... "If you could have one wish, any wish.., what would it be?" Now, imagine the look on the face of a child facing a* life threatening illness and some- times undergoing long and painful medical treatments. YOU can give them the chance to "make a wish", and know that it will come true! The positive impact this has is immeasurable for the child and his or her fam- ily. The child has a new focus and also something he or she has not had in a long time, con- trol, v

place the night of March 8th at the middle school regard- ing full-day Kindergarten impressed upon me more than ever the importance of the growing trend of full-day Kindergarten for our chil- dren. The presentation was impressive, as were the numerous positive comments the community had to offer. As I, myself thought of good points supporting this issue, the same words were pouring out of parents, endlessly praising the idea of the full day for various reasons, all noteworthy.
The most common remark
seemed to be the time deficit teachers currently experience under the half-day system. Parents desire a less rushed day for their children as well as an opportunity for more learning. Moreover, I think we'd all like to keep up in a society that values education more than ever and is moving toward full-day Kindergarten.
I sincerely hope that the school committee votes to take advantage of this excep- tional opportunity for our children and that this September is the start of a new era for early childhood education in Wilmington.

A vote for Stronach Dear Editor: It's time for a change. It's
time for new ideas, new ener- gy, new dedication, and a new commitment to working hard every day to improve our town. Now we finally have a chance and a choice. A chance to make it better for everyone in Tewksbury. And the clear choice is Anne Marie Stronach for Selectman.
Anne Marie Stronach is a new strong independent leader for everyone in Tewksbury. She will be a voice for change. She will fight to preserve our neighborhoods. She will work intelligently to bring clean safe business to Tewksbury to reduce each
homeowner's tax burden. She will lobby effectively to insure Tewksbury receives the state aid we need to provide our essential services like police, fire and education. As the director of a 5 million dollar budget with 125 employees under her command, she knows first hand how to impose the fiscal discipline necessary to stretch a dollar. Anne Marie Stronach is the clear choice for Selectman.
Please, on Election day April 14, consider giving one of your two votes to Anne Marie Stronach for Selectman. Thank you.
Very Truly Yours Jamey Cutelis
West supports full-day kindergarten
Dear Editor: I would like to offer my sup-
port for Wilmington to go for- ward with All Day Kindergarten. After discus- sions with the School .Administration, parents, and after attending the meeting on March 8th, I see this as a win-win for Wilmington. Strictly from a funding per- spective, Wilmington stands to gain $135,000 in start up funding to purchase materials and training as well as over $193,000 to pay for teachers, the town also projected to save over $83,000 in bus tran- spiration costs. Wilmington's projected also be able to count its 260 kindergarten stu- dents as full time students which should give our town more Chapter 70 funding to assist all of our students.
From an education stand- point, I feel that the students
would benefit because they would get more education as well as more social interac- tion with other students. I feel that it is important to have children interact with each other especially now in an age where television, video games, and computers lead children to play by themselves rather than others.
If there is a demand, maybe the schools could save space for some students who's par- ents want only a part-time program. I do think however, that once this program is opened up to the town, the vast majority of parents would want to take advantage of a full day program and the town as a whole can provide a quality service and actually save the taxpayer money which I firmly support!

Yet, I'm a parent and I write stories every week about crime and I'm con- cerned. The number of murders in Boston is on the rise. Burglaries, home invasions, gun-related violence and espe- cially crimes against children are on the rise all over Massachusetts. In Tewksbury two level-three sex offenders, who were previously convicted and served sentences for crimes against chil- dren, live within a half mile of an ele- mentary school. Our police have arrested more than eight suspects in six drug busts in two weeks. Drug busts for cocaine and heroin trafficking. These aren't kids getting high in the basement; they are people trying to erode the fabric of suburban life in Tewksbury.
Tewksbury, located so very close to Lowell and with two major highways run- ning though it, is becoming a gateway town for druggies and deadbeats to do business. With an understaffed police
force relative to the level of crime in and around town, these losers are picking Tewksbury as a great spot to stop, sell some major drugs near a school, and move on. At what point do gangs come in, start staking out territory, and begin pro- tecting their turf with knives and guns? Gang violence, along with nearly all other forms of crime, is up statewide.
I don't want to be an alarmist and I seri- ously doubt the bloods and crips will take up arms on either end of 38, but the point remains. Police are working incredibly hard to catch these losers while chasing other crimes around town such as a rash of automobile break-ins, home invasions, even a carjacking. In Wilmington anoth- er burned body was found, but no arrests have been made in this baffling case.
This violent crime is way beyond the greedy hands of little league president and major league alleged embezzler Wilford Daley. We are facing drugs and violent crime. Right now these levels are not out of control but they are on the rise. Our lackluster governor seems more interested in lush draperies and Cadillacs than promoting public safety or hiring those 1,000 more officers he promised during his campaign.
t We cannot build a fence around our
towns or run customs offices at every off ramp. We cannot run background checks on folks that drive our streets; we cannot stop mminals and high risk recidiviste from living in our midst. But we can put more feet on the ground. We can hire more police officers, add to our force, and ensure the safety of our elders, our chil- dren, our businesses and our neighbor- hoods.
Tewksbury's finest are doing a com- mendable job with the resources they have. But we know they don't have enough. As our budget process gets underway we already know from prelimi- nary figures that we do not have the funds for two badly needed officers to help combat the drug problem this conl- munity faces. As a community, we need to seriously consider our needs and how-
to balance them with our means. As resi- dents and taxpayers we must engage in the budget process and look for creative solutions for shortages that exist throughr out the budget, not just for police. It does not take much to lose a way of
life, safety, or peace of mind. Just apathy.
Czech Yourself by Tina FabianO
Ever since I was little, classical music has had a
large presence in my life. I remember counting the amount of classical CD's my dad had on the CD rack and giving up once I hit the 200 mark because there was still too much left to count and I figured 200 was an accomplishment in itself already. While I cannot identify anything aside from major symphonies, I always find comfort in the soothing sounds of an orchestra. Seeing as how Mozart once said that the people of Prague appreciat- ed music more than those in Vienna, I thought it was high time I moved away from the CD rack and actually experi- enced classical music live.
In my attempts to become sophisticated, I've been trying to take advantage of every cultural experience thrown my way, so when I saw that I could attend Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake I put my name on the list, bought a nice black dress, and eagerly anticipated my first experience with the ballet since I witnessed the Nutcracker in third grade. I sat down in my plush red seat, waited for the lights to dim, and heard my friend seated next to me say, "Wait until I tell my mother I went to the ballet."
I regret to inform you that I found myself ordering a crepe dessert at a cafe during what would be the ballet's intermission because in my mind, the ballet was called on account of boredom. I loved and appre- ciated the music, but there was something not right with what was going on onstage A ballet connoisseur I am not, but the cos- tumes were lackluster, the ballerinas lacked synchronization, and the set design
was about as exciting as my dorm room (which is the equivalent of what the inte- rior of a soviet detainee camp would look like). Had I been elsewhere, I'm positive I would have enjoyed the entire ballet expe- rience, but for the moment I'll be putting any future Swan Lake endeavors on hold.
As I was eating my crepe after my quick escape from Swan Lake I gulped in fear when I remembered that I signed up to attend an opera the following week. If I couldn't last at the ballet, how would I ever last at an opera?
In 2004, an absurd, yet delightfully unique opera premiered at the Estates Theatre in Prague. It was entitled "Nagano," and was based on the Czech Olympic hockey team finally winning a gold medal in 1998 after having the cham- pionship door slammed in their face four previous times. When I arrived at the the- atre and saw a man jogging in place on stage with a faux Olympic torch, I could hardly contain myself as I squirmed with excitement in my seat waiting for whatev- er hockey-opera goodness was about to ensue.
What took place over the next two hours was easily the most awkwardly entertain- ing event of my life. To begin, five burly, hairy men dressed as hockey players came bursting onto the stage as if they were rock stars and began their operatic repertoire. Above their heads on a giant screen were their words translated into English. As the opera went on and the Czech's laughed and laughed, I had to wonder what exactly they were laughing at. Something had to have been lost in translation because the words coming up on screen made little sense and often
included the word "bean" for some reason I've yet to figure out, but the Czech's car- ried on chuckling. £
At Nagano, the Czech hockey team played the USA and Canada before a vf:- tory over Russia to win them the gold. To portray these games, the faux hockfry team did not reenact these wins as if th<!y were on ice skates. Instead, the hockey players danced in the style of break-daif:- ing and did back flips and other body con- torting moves while a scantily clsjd woman portraying a hockey puck would fling herself around the stage before jumping into the netting of the goal and-a fake crowd seated in the audience waving Czech flags went wild.
My friends and I stared at each other in jaw dropping wonder, but none of us were in a rush to leave the theatre Not even tSe odd, out of place, and short love story of the Czech coach falling in love with a geisha could deter us from the stage. Looking around the theatre we saw that the crowd was not the typical opera crovjti that I had festooning in my mind. The show has been consecutively selling out since its premier in 2004 to regular people like me who weren't quite ready for;a three hour ballet, but were ready for sonrje dynamo contemporary opera to ease them into the full blown grand opera experi- ence.
Though it may not have been the most elegant of operas and it may have not have made sense to the English speaking viewer, Nagano may be the most fun I, or anyone else, may ever have in an opera house. t

Wilmington girl to appear in Seussical the Musical with Wakefield Repertory Theatre
Mei Lu Barnum, age 9 and in the 4th grade at the North Intermediate School in Wilmington, MA, will be appearing in the Wakefield Repertory Theatre production of "Seussical, the Musical". Performance dates are March 24th, 25th, 30th and 31st and all performances will be at the Galvin Middle School, 525 Main St., Wakefield, MA. She has been double-cast as a lead character, JoJo, and also as Cindy Lou Who. Mei Lu will be playing the role of JoJo on March 24th (opening night) and also on March 30th. The other performances Mei Lu will be playing the role of Cindy Lou Who. For those of you who are not familiar with this musical, here is a short description:
"Seussical is based on the works of the beloved children's author Theodore Geisel, known to the world as Dr. Seuss. One would think it an impossible task to condense the major characters and stories of Seuss into a cohesive evening, but Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens have managed to incor- porate bits and pieces of at least 14 Seuss classics, includ- ing Horton Hears a Who, Horton Hatches the Egg, Gertrude McFuzz, The Butter Battle Book, If I Ran the Circus, McEUigott's Pool, I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew and of course,The Cat in the Hat!! The main story involves Horton the Elephant's efforts to save his friend Jojo and the other inhabitants on Who, even though everyone else in the Jungle of Nool thinks Horton is the "Biggest Blame
Fool" for believing in people
who live on a small speck of dust. But Horton is a deter- mined, loyal and faithful friend who fights for what he knows to be true. In the end, Seussical is really about believing in your- self, keeping promises and the rewards of being an indepen- dent "thinker." The Seussical score is a wonderfully eclectic mix of everything from tradi- tional ballads like "Alone in the Universe" and "Solla Sollew" to the funkier sound of "Monkey Around" and the Sousa-inspired sound of "The Military." Of course, Ahrens and Flaherty have a reputation for writing fantastic opening numbers, and "Oh, the Thinks You Can Think" is certainly no excep- tion."
Mei Lu studies with Anne Marie Lopresti of AME's Performing Arts Kids in Maiden and has been taking classes since she was 6 years old. She is also very excited to have been selected, by audition, to study this summer in New York City at "Destination
Broadway", an intensive act- ing, singing, and dancing work- shop. This Broadway camp was founded by and is directed by Michael Rafter, who acted as vocal coach to both Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore, who are starring in the current movie release of "Music and Lyrics".
Mei Lu's previous experiences in musical theatre have includ- ed "A Christmas Carol" as Tiny Tim at Stoneham Theatre in 2004 and again in Arlington's CORE Stage Co. production in 2005. She has also appeared in roles in "Peter Pan" with Marblehead Little Theatre; as Princess Ying Yaowlak in "King and I" and Kate in "Annie", both with Weston Friendly Society. Last summer, she performed with the Weston Drama Workshop playing the role of Little Girl in "Ragtime" which won the coveted Moss Hart Award in the Youth Division for 2006. In case some of you have not seen any of these performances first-hand, she's absolutely charming as she lights up the stage with her singing, dancing and acting abilities. Be sure to catch her this time in Seussical!
Tickets are now on sale and more information is available at the Wakefield Repertory Theatre website: www.wakefiel- drep.org. Performance dates are: Sat. March 24th at 8 PM (Mei Lu as JoJo), Sun.March 25th at 2 PM, Fri. March 30th at 8 PM (Mei Lu as JoJo) and Sat. March 31st at 8 PM. Tickets are $16/adults, $14/seniors & students.

technical imaging excellence needed for targeted treatments such as fibroid embolization," says Dr. William Korn, Winchester Hospital Interven- tional Radiologist who per- forms the procedure
As an alternative to hysterec- tomy, an estimated 13,000-14,000
. UFE procedures are performed
.annually in the U.S. It has proven to be a safe and effec- tive treatment, and 85-90 per- cent of women who have had the procedure experience sig- nificant or total relief of heavy bleeding, pain and/or bulk- related symptoms.

Question & Answer Period to follow
This is excit-
ing moment in my life and the "life" of the library as I step in as library director after the long and dedicated service of Elisabeth Desmarais. I am sure that many people are wonder- ing what comes next, what my first steps will be in my begin- ning months and years here at the Tewksbury Public Library. While I am excited about the chance to steer the library in new directions, some of the things you see in the library will remain exactly the same.
First, our commitment to superior customer service to every patron will never change. I was lucky to "inherit" an excellent staff and any library director will tell you that the staff is the library's most valu- able resource. Our dedication to selecting the best materials for our patrons will also remain: you can still count on finding bestsellers, award win- ning and popular novels and
nonfiction as well as an excel- lent and diverse collection of children's materials at your library. Finally, you can rely on us to honor our responsibility to the library building itself and its upkeep. It is a privilege to work in such a well planned and cared for building and we will continue to be vigilant in our care.
Some of the first changes you will see are the introduction of new digital formats. Many of you may already download audiobooks to your MP3 player or iPod, but for our patrons that are still learning what an MP3 player is we will have "Playaways": small players with an audiobook already

loaded. All you need is a library card and a pair of headphones!
Look for these to appear on the shelves in March. Another new format we'll introduce is digital video you can watch for free on your computer just by using your library card. Our "channel" will have docu- mentaries,
cooking and travel shows and literature related programming as well as some classic and independent films. Stay "tuned" for more information when we introduce this in April. In response to patron demand our whole media section will continue to improve and expand with the addition of more books on CD, DVDs and music CDs.
You may see some chango^to the interior of the building^ well as we focus on signagejmd displays to make the libtary easier to use. Look for newffir- nishings in the teen area^o make it more inviting and improvements to our lobby area to include more commuhi- ty information and resourced
I also look forward to new opportunities for the librarjrto collaborate with community groups and town departments in providing programming and services beyond the array, of programs we have already planned for the next year. As part of our planning process, in the next few months I look.fbr- ward to meeting Tewksbury's citizens, hearing your input on the value of the library to you and your ideas for making the library more relevant and important in your life. Come-in and see me, let me know what you want to see at YOUR library.

WILMINGTON - At a Court of Honor held by Troop 56 on Saturday at the Wilmington Congregational Church, Michael Golden received his Eagle Scout award. Michael started in Scouting as a Cub, and complete his requirements prior to becoming 18 years old which is the maximum age limit to receive this award. As well as Scouting activities, Mike is in his Senior year at Wilmington High School. His activities there include partici- pation in three seasons on track teams. State Senator Bruce Tarr spoke at length, challeng- ing Mike to be prepare for the road of life ahead. The Senator then presented a congratulato- ry citation from the State Senate.
An aide from State Representative James Miceli presented a flag which had flown over the State House in his honor as well as a citation
from the State House of Representatives.
Town Manager Michael Caira spoke (with the comment that it was it was a tough act to fol- low Senator Tarr), adding his personal congratulations to those from the Board of Selectmen.
A long list of other citations from personages in the Federal and Massachusetts Govern- ments were noted, but not fully read at length. The large folder was given to Michael.
Subsequent to the ceremony, a delicious luncheon was served downstairs.
As a matter of interest, Michael is the latest from Troop 56 to receive the Eagle award. In the almost 75 years of existence, Troop 56 (which started as Troop 1), there were 42 prior young men who have earned this honor. According to troop records, the first was George Meadows in 1932.

Town cleared in state review >. ' FROM PAGE 1 t
Department Mr more than six * "years. His public campaign to .bring his case to light has
;«'included numerous letters to * 3he editor of the Town Crier, an '; appearance before the Board of 'Selectmen that aired on local public television, a front page
:»ipread in a local newspaper, >5»nd an appearance on a WCTV ; program called Perspectives.
His allegations against the Building Department stem
• from the construction of a new home built on Grove Street that abuts his - formerly his moth- er's - house. Shine is convinced that the new house built for Lawrence Howe was placed
'. closer to his property than ; Wilmington bylaws allow. He is I Jikewise convinced that
Wilmington's Building Inspector is aware that the
•Z iouse is in violation of thebv-
law, but refuses to act on the matter.
In one letter, for instance, addressed to the Wilmington Board of Selectmen, dated May 21, 2003, Shine advises the town that he has filed complaints to state agencies and has request- ed that the Attorney General's Political Corruption Unit inves- tigate possible conspiracy and corruption within the town gov- ernment. He further demands that the Town of Wilmington investigate his allegations. In that letter Shine writes, "As I have previously stated many times, I have all the documents, titles, signatures, by-laws, and evidence to clearly show gross negligence, professional mis- conduct, and possible criminal activity, however, no one from the Town has ever felt the need or felt compelled to come for- ward to examine them."
According to Town Manager Michael Caira, three separate Town Counsels - going back to Atty. Alan Alt man and includ- ing Atty. Michael Newhouse and Atty. Paul DeRensis - have all reviewed the file over the years and have each concluded that the construction meets the town by-laws.
Zoning regulations for that area of Grove Street stipulate a 15-foot setback. Shine insisted in April of 2000 that Howe's new home was less than 13-feet from the property line. In July of the same year, Shine stated that Howe's new house was less than 12-feet from the property line.
According to certified plot plans, Howe's new house is sit- uated no closer than 15-feet 8- inches from the property line. The original house, which was built by Howe's grandfather in
1908, was situated 14-feet 7- inches from Shine's property. Howe's new home was designed to accommodate he and his mother, both of whom are con- fined to wheelchairs.
Shine has claimed, on multi- ple occasions, to have a certi- fied plot plan documenting his allegations. To date, no town officials have seen such a docu- ment. The DPS inspectors must not have been privy to such a document either, as their findings report that four certified plot plans included in town records indicate that Howe's new house meets the zoning regulations. DPS makes no mention of the existence of a certified plot plan containing contradictory findings.
To add one more wrinkle to the case, Howe recently filed a civil suit against Shine. Howe's suit alleges, in part, defama-

BOSTON- Emmanuel College in Boston recently announced Kristen M. Breslin of Wilmington has earned recog- nition on the Dean's List for the fall 2006 semester. Students earning a grade point average of 3.5 or higher are awarded the distinction of Dean's List.
Emmanuel College is a Catholic, coeducational, liberal
tion. The suit states, "Defendant Shine has pub- lished one or more oral and written false statements intend- ed to accuse and associate Lawrence Howe with criminal conduct under Massachusetts state and local laws."
Despite a previous inclination to wage his campaign through newspapers and on local access television, Mr. Shine has declined to offer comment on the DPS's findings, Howe's suit against him, or on his intent to file suit against the town. The Town Crier was advised by Shine to contact his current attorney, who likewise declined to comment.
The DPS review of the town's Building Department was initi- ated after Shine sought assis- tance from State Representative James Miceli. According to Miceli, he and his staff endeavored to point Shine in the right direction and to ensure that the appropriate agency followed an appropriate course of action.
"No matter who walks in, we try to help them," Miceli said. "We didn't make any judgments in this case, we just tried to make sure that the right department looked into it."
Miceli has never spoken with Howe regarding the matter.
"I tried staying out of it as much as possible," Miceli said. "It was a delicate situation with allegations being thrown around. The only calls we made were to DPS when things seemed not to be moving for- ward."
It seemed that things were not moving forward in January 2006, when Howe was provided with a preliminary report and was, according to the suit, advised that, "there would be no final report or full review."
Howe's suit asserts that Miceli's office then stepped in expressing expectations for a comprehensive review and that Miceli's office went on to exert pressure on DPS for a broader investigation of Shine's com- plaint and of the Wilmington Building Department in gener- al. The suit further contends that Miceli was, "given the right to review the staff recom- mendation concerning Defendant Shine's complaint and the preliminary report before it went to DPS

Commissioner Gatzunis." „, In an email from Robert
Anderson of the DPS to a mem- ber of Miceli's staff, Anderson writes, "Jane (Lavoie) is draft- ing a recommended procedure to help deal with the issue. JShe hopes to be complete by inid next week. I will call you when completed so that we may. dis- cuss before any written recom- mendations are released.",,'
According to Miceli, (hat email was not an invitation, for him to offer input into ■ the investigation. ,
"What he meant, was that he would let (my staff) know what conclusions were reached, whether good, bad, or indiffer- ent," Miceli said. ,
The DPS inspectors submitted their completed review of the operations of the Building Department on October-.'27, 2006. Though the review notes that, "DPS building inspectors are not investigators trained, to detect corruption at the munic- ipal or any level of govern- ment," it goes on to state that, "With these facts noted, it is the conclusion of this report that the Wilmington Building Commissioner acted within his authority based on information presented to him in each instance."
The report acknowledges, that a clear allegation of impropri- ety had been made by the com- plainant, but concludes that the Building Inspector requested and received information to clarify the matter. •;.
"Finally, although no solid evidence was offered to estab- lish that provisions of the state building code were misapplied, it is apparent that the com- plainant believes that disparate treatment exists within the Town of Wilmington Building Department," the report states. "Town of Wilmington authori- ties should make every effort to dispel this image and ensure that all applicants are afforded equal rights during permit application and inspection processes."
As for Howe, he is looking .for- ward to putting the whole thing behind him. v
"This has been going on,for too long and I look forward to a final and fair resolution; as quickly as possible," Howe said.

Wilmington resident earns second academic honors from Clark University
WORCESTER - Mr. Jonathan D. Baker of Wilmington has been named to second honors on the Clark University Dean's List. This selection marks out- standing academic achievement during the Fall 2006 semester.
Mr. Jonathan Baker is a mem- ber of Clark University's Class of 2007. Baker . studies Psychology. Baker also attended Wilmington High School.
To be eligible for second hon- ors, students must have a grade point average of 3.5 or higher, of a maximum of 4.3 (all A+s).

Making dreams come true FROM PAGE 1
^/•"Colleen's wish was a very simple one. She loved the
.•ocean. To her, it was freedom. .'••She got great joy at seeing the
other kids at the beach." ,C* The Make-A-Wish Foundation
■ speaks with each child, not the •-iparents, about the desired wish. • .The goal is to ensure that it's ^.actually the child's wish that's •••.being granted. In Colleen's
case, it was difficult because Colleen was unable to speak at that time and relied on facial expressions to communicate
. f jyyith others. '.^^The Foundation representa- yttves asked Colleen if she want- "'"ed to go to Disney World, but
"there was no response. O'Brien p .'recalled, "I took the rep aside ^'.'jn the other room and told her ' ,'tiow Colleen loved to go to York ' fieach. There was a cottage we
used to stay at as a family. '^When they asked Colleen if
she'd like to go to York Beach, . 'she picked up her head and her '.'eyes twinkled." 1 She continued, "We were .granted a two week family
' 'vacation at York Beach. It was .'"the last two weeks of July.
When we got to the cottage, they had decorated it for us with balloons. They even gave us some spending money and really made sure to include the whole family."
The entire O'Brien family, including Pat's husband and their eight children, bonded together. "It was a very special time. You didn't have to worry about doctor appointments and leaving your other kids. It real- ly brings you back into a fami- ly."
On November first of that year, Colleen passed.
When asked about what that vacation meant to her family, O'Brien replied, "It meant so much to us that for the last 20 years we've done a fundraiser to give back to the organiza- tion. It's carried us all these years. It gave us freedom from doctors and hospitals for a short time." Each year in February, the
family organizes a fundraising dance at the Knights of Columbus in Wilmington. Colleen's birthday is February 21, and that date usually falls during school vacation. The
dance is always held in Colleen's memory on the last Saturday of February vacation. The event is the longest run- ning annual fundraising event for the Massachusetts chapter. It has grown tremendously over the years, and seven years ago, on what would've been Colleen's 21st birthday, the sin- gle-night event raised $23,000 for Make-A-Wish.
Every dollar raised is given to Make-A-Wish. O'Brien said, "It feels good to give them the check each year. It lets us give to other families what was given to us. That little bit of time and fun is so important."
Tom Convery, also a Wilmington resident, is a Make- A-Wish Foundation volunteer who has assisted with the fundraising dance for the last thirteen years. O'Brien described Convery as "a very, very dedicated person. He organizes the raffles with a wide array of prizes donated by friends and he gets trinkets from Make-A-Wish to give away. Tom goes above and beyond with every child. He's there to see them off on their

Aspects of administration include setting policy, approv- ing budgets and hiring the Housing Authority's Executive

No license for Comcast "■••."
FROM PAGE 1 ' tions with Comcast for a new
license for several months. '"•According to Assistant Town ' ••Manager Jeffrey Hull, the town •has made several concessions,
but Comcast is vying for a deal ■ 'even sweeter than the one cur- ■ ' rent ly in place. -v Comcast is looking to reduce
funding on the Institutional "'Network (commonly referred
to as the I-Net), which is a ' closed loop Internet service
■that enables the various town 'departments to share informa-
» tion and communicate through ■ ■ audio, video, and data signals.
"At this time, Comcast is not prepared to allow the town to
-- 'use the I-Net for data transmis- sion," Hull said. "That would
" -be a major setback for us 5 -because our IT person relies ""Upon the I-Net for that pur- fcipwe."
In addition, Comcast is will- ing to offer only $166,000 over a 10-year period in capital fund- ing. The current license, which
; was negotiated and issued 10 \ years ago, calls for $210,000. • .That capital funding allows sjWCTV to replace equipment 'i Tihd conduct its business. In its '. recent negotiations with the '-town, Verizon recently agreed ! to $314,000 over 15 years, which 2 jfo\M translate to $210,000 over ;; ^ 10-year period. •1 -Corneas t will be able to appeal ; 'jife denial to the state's Cable jSHvision for an administrative
JJMling. Comcast may also peti- jQon the Board for a hearing in which Comcast would provide testimony in a "quasi-judicial'' process in which they would appeal to the Board to reverse its decision.
There have been a number of communities that have
taken this action as a result of their inability to reach terms with Comcast, so we're not breaking ground here," Hull said.
Selectman Suzanne could not see why Comcast would be will- ing to walk away over a differ- ence in capital funding of $60,000 over a 10-year time peri- od.
"If the license is denied they'll be spending money on lawyers," Sullivan said. "How much is Wilmington worth to them? They're splitting hairs over $60,000? It's ridiculous."
Hull pointed out that Verizon, without any current sub- scribers in Wilmington, is ready to pay $314,000 over 15 years and has also agreed to fund the I-Net.
"To grant Comcast a better
deal, given the fact that they're in place already, versus the new kid on the block who is going to have to work to get subscribers, I think is not advisable," Hull said.
The denial issued on Monday does not end discussions with Comcast.
"I wouldn't expect to just close the door, so to speak," Hull said. "I think we would attempt to continue to negotiate with Comcast so that in this interim period, perhaps we could come to some kind of agreement and come back before the Board.
Current subscribers will not experience a break in service - Comcast will continue to pro- vide services during the ongo- ing negotiation process.

O'Brien continues to support the Foundation for as long as it's needed. Indeed, a new gen- eration of her family is already getting involved with the cause. In addition to O'Brien's chil- dren participating in the efforts, her grandchildren are now stepping forward to volun- teer. "My five grandchildren have yard sales and participate in brainstorming sessions on how to raise money."
At last month's dance, Jimmy, 12; Andy, 11; Mary Kate, 8; Emily, 7; and Patrick, 5; pre-
■ sented a check for $60 reflect- ing their fundraising efforts.
On March 3rd, the Foundation held its 2007 Make-A-Wish Gala at the Intercontinental Hotel in Boston. The event commemo- rated the 20th Anniversary of Colleen's wish. Channel 5's Liz Brunner opened the ceremony by speaking about Colleen. She recalled Colleen's wish and spoke about the wishes that have been granted to other chil- dren over the years.
It used to be that the wish recipients were terminally ill children, but now many chil- dren are survivors. Several of the recipients were present at the event, including a young boy who was granted his dream to meet Tedy Bruschi of the New England Patriots. Bruschi was honored that evening with the "Wish Hero Award" for his involvement with the Foundation over the years.
Make-A-Wish Foundation rec- ognizes that "this year, nearly 400 children in Massachusetts will be newly diagnosed with life-threatening medical condi- tions. For a child who is under- going rigorous medical treat- ments, the chance to choose, plan, and anticipate a wish pro- vides a feeling of control and strength during a difficult time. A wish also provides a much needed respite for the entire family."

a tremendous amount of work and effort booking, organizing and promoting the show and hopes it will become an annual tradition for the upcoming seniors.
The family-friendly show con- tains a variety of ages and rock genres ranging from progres- sive to rush. The bands will be performing both cover songs as well as their original tracks. Belding is hoping to raise over $1000 this year and to provide some promotion for the local bands. Tickets may be purchased at
Wilmington High, Wilmington Middle School or online at www.MindwalkBand.com for five dollars. Tickets can also be bought at the door for seven dollars. The event is open to all ages beginning this Friday at 6:30 P.M and ending at 10:00.

Division 3 North Sectional Finalist Girls Hoop team one of the states best
Bv JAMIE POTE Sports Editor
LOWELL - In the end they lost by two points but in the big- ger picture the Wilmington High girls basketball team fin- ished the program's best sea- son in history as one of the top eight teams in the entire state.
In heartbreaking fashion, Pentucket's Holly Jacobsons made an incredible defensive block on Alyssa Brown's shot with four seconds to go, which gave Pentucket Regional a 41-39 victory over the Wildcats in the Division 3 North sectional championship game played Saturday morning at Lowell's Tsongas Arena.
Pentucket advanced to the Eastern Mass final on Monday afternoon and were defeated by ArchBishop Williams.
As for Wilmington, they fin- ished with an 20-4 overall record, with two losses each to Masconomet and Pentucket, while posting three state tour- nament wins over Weston, Wayland and previously unbeaten and top seed Winthrop as part of the pro- gram's all-time best season.
At the time of his interview, Wildcat head coach Jay Keane, like many other people, didn't realize that Jacobsons had come out of nowhere to get a piece of Brown'-s-shet. Brown had received a bounce pass from senior point guard Brianne Bozzella on a quick outlet pass on a defensive rebound, but the 5-foot-7 fresh- man, Jacobsons, got enough of the ball forcing it to hit the front of the rim and falling down instead of through the net.
"We went on a scoring drought there for a while," said Keane. "The girls played extremely hard and it came down to the end. We had every-

Tremendous ran for seniors comes to an end By JAMIE POTE
.Sports Editor LOWELL - Standing on cen-
ter court with the MIAA Division 3 North sectional final- ist trophy in their hands, best friends Ashley Vitale and Brianne Bozzella were all smiles. But a few minutes later when they realized that then- season and their marvelous careers were over, the two of them couldn't help but fight off
tears. Previous to when the two cap-
tains came to the high school, the program's last winning sea- son was in 2000, while reaching the state tournament didn't happen often, just three times from 1995 to 2004.
Before Vitale and Bozzella joined the team as freshmen during the 2003-'04 season, the girls basketball program had a combined record of 13-47 in the
previous three seasons. In the past four years, the duo helped the program combine for a 57- 30 record, which included a 3-2 mark in the post season.
The team's third senior, Katie Sullivan, has also been a part of the success. Although not a starter, she came off the bench as a junior and senior and sup- plied some tough minutes, some good outside shots and certainly came through with a
handful of baskets in some games. She, like the other two, also provided tremendous lead- ership on and off the court, according to head coach Jay Keane.
"Ashley, Brianne and Katie have been outstanding for this program," said Keane after Saturday morning's 41-39 loss to ■ Pentucket Regional in the

A blocked view of the game's tying shot
By JAMIE POTE Sports Editor
LOWELL - Unless you were at a real good angle, or on the floor, or have perfect 20-20 vision, you might not have real- ized what happened in the final seconds of Saturday morning's Division 3 North sectional final girls basketball game played between Wilmington and Pentucket.
I know that from the view of the press box, I didn't realize what happened until I received a phone call the next day and I clicked on a website.
Trailing 41-39 with 16 seconds remaining, Wilmington called timeout to talk over strategy. Immediately on the inbound pass, the Wildcats fouled Pentucket but fortunately the Sachems missed the front end of a 1-and-l opportunity at the free throw line. The rebound was tipped by junior Stephanie Sauve out behind a group of players into open space.
That's when senior co-captain Brianne Bozzella grabbed the ball and immediately dribbled down the court on a fast break
As she came into the Pentucket zone, she dished the ball off to her right, to team- mate Alyssa Brown. Brown grabbed the ball, went up for the shot to the right of the net, but through these eyes and hundreds of others, the ball bounced off the front of the rim and eventually four seconds later the Wildcats were defeat- ed 41-39 ending their tremen- dous season.
But what most of us didn't see during those waning seconds of Bozzella coming down the court and passing the ball off, was Pentucket's Holly Jacobsons, who came flying in from behind the two Wilmington players and

Division 2 state semi finalist «
Girls Hockey team fell two wins away from championship title
Bv JAMIE POTE Sports Editor
BOURNE - After 19 wins, long bus rides to Canton and Bourne, the tremendous Wilmington High girls hockey team's fate was decided with a shootout. Late Saturday night at the Gallo Arena, the No. 2 seed Barnstable scored twice which was the difference in the 3-2 win in the Division 2 State semifinal game played before a jammed pack arena down on Cape Cod. - Wilmington built leads of 1-0 and 2-0 after the first and sec- ond periods, only to run out of gas in both the third period and the eight minute overtime frame.
Barnstable scored two quick goals to start the third period which forced overtime and then the shootout. There, Stephanie Scarpato and Michelle Manning scored, while none of the four Wilmington shooters had success, ending the team's season with an overall record of 19-3-1, while coming two wins shy of the program's first ever state championship title
"We let down a little bit in the third period but in my mind these (Wilmington) girls go home as (state) champions,'' said a very proud coach Joe McMahon minutes after the heartbreaking loss. "It was an outstanding performance. The girls put everything they had into this game but unfortunate- ly a couple of bounces didn't go our way." " Prior to this season, the 'Cats
had one post season victory coming two years ago. Earlier the 'Cats knocked off Notre Dame Academy of Hingham, 6- 1, before tackling Franklin, 3-1, two nights before down at the Canton Arena. Coming back on short rest certainly was a major factor for the Wildcats, whose legs were exhausted come the final 23 minutes of play.
"We didn't have anything left," said McMahon. "And that's why I called the timeout late in the third period. I thought it was outrageous that we had to come here to Bourne, instead of a neutral site. Barnstable is what 20 minutes
away from here? We had to drive (90 minutes) and play (Saturday) after playing Thursday and the girls were exhausted. The MIAA needs to get their act together. I'm not taking anything away from Barnstable because they are a very good team, but I think we're a better team. We just had a couple of lapses."
Said forward captain Maria Tucker, "We were exhausted in the third period and just over tired. I don't think they were the better team, I think they just got lucky."
Wilmington took the 1-0 lead scoring at the 8:21 mark of the first period. Sara Alonardo made a nice rush with the puck before dishing it off to Jessica Scioli, who from the right circle rifled a wrist shot to the top corner beating goalie Natalie Cohen.
The Wildcats made it a two- goal game scoring with 4:59 to go in the second period. Kaitlyn Souza put a shot on net which Cohen was able to save but the

thing in place but the shot just didn't go in. We have been fighting all season in a lot of tight games and we had every- thing in place. That was a tough shot to make.
"We had our chances but it was just a matter of finishing them. I'm not and we're not going to blame one girl or one play, but we missed a lot of opportunities throughout the whole game."
Pentucket is a very young team but with a lot of talent and certainly a lot of height. Sophomore center Kirsten Daamen, who moved to the United States from the Netherlands, stands at 6-foot-2 and she made her presence felt. She ended the game with 8 blocks and really was a thorn in the 'Cats side.
"She's a great player," said Keane. "We tried to go at her but we also missed some lay- ups and there's nothing you can do about that. But she's cer-
. -tainly a force in the middle. She • ; 'takes up a lot of space in the
; middle and she's just a sopho- .more. [ "They put Daaman in the zone
• .and everyone else is man-to- - man and she just helps out
everyone else. She blocks a lot '. of shots and she takes away a
lot of cuts to the middle. What we tried to do was make her
. come out and play somebody . and then get behind her but she
had a couple of big blocks and ■ 3t just changes the momentum - of the game. She's an impact
player." On the flip side of that, fresh-
man forward Ashley ViseUi was another impact player. Number 24 finished with a game high 19 points, including scoring her team's final eight points, with two coming on treys, as she helped give the Sachems an eight point lead after Bozzella had tied the game up at 33 on a drive to the basket with 6:51 to go
. "(Viselli) is a great player," ■said Keane. "We knew she was capable of doing that but we had to pack it in the zone -because of the (Daamen) girl. The last time we played Pentucket we went man-to-man
.; and they really attacked the '. ■ basket. So that's why we stayed
"in the zone (defense). The game plan was there but we just went into that scoring
drought and that kind of cost us."
Besides the game being tied at three early on, Wilmington had the lead the entire first half. The 'Cats led 11-6 and 18- 12 and took an 22-19 lead into the halftime break. Wilmington's offense was struggling a bit but defensively the 'Cats were doing a very good job which included giving up one field goal in the first 7:06 and two field goals through the first 9:05.
Wilmington senior center Ashley Vitale sank two free throws to start the second half pushing the 'Cats lead to.five" points. But Pentucket coun- tered with an 11-0 run, with five points coming from Viselli before Lyndsey Beaton drained consecutive jump shots. That gave the Sachems a 30-24 lead, but Wilmington came back as Stephanie Sauve hit her own jumper, while Vitale posted up nicely making it a two-point game.
Pentucket had a four-point lead two minutes later until Vitale posted up and Bozzella scored on that aforementioned drive to tie the game up at 33-33 with 6:51 to go. ViseUi followed suit with her three straight field goals, the last coming with 4:28 to go, giving Pentucket a 41-33 lead. Bozzella then hit a three-pointer with 2:12 left and then hit another one with 12 seconds left making it 41-39 with 16 seconds to go.
Wilmington had another chance missing a shot with 4.6 seconds left, before sending Pentucket to the free throw line for a 1-and-l opportunity. The Sachems missed, and the ball was tipped out by Sauve out to open space to Bozzella. She came racing down the court and gave the bounce pass to her right to Brown, whose shot was then partially blocked by Jacobsons. Pentucket missed another front end off a 1-and-l with 3.6 seconds left, and the rebound then rolled out of bounds ending the game and unfortunately the season for Wilmington.
Vitale and Bozzella ended the game with 11 and 10 points, respectively, while, Sauve added 9 as the trio accounted for 30 of the team's 39 points.
"I'm just so proud of these girls," said Keane. "No one
thought we'd get here with the exception of myself and the girls. We finished 20-4 and I'm just really happy for the girls, the entire program and the Wilmington community. The girls really represented them- selves very well this season."

Division 3 North sectional final played at the Tsongas Arena. "They have been very good leaders and we have some younger kids on this team and it's good that they had some players to look up too.

Prior to this season, three pre- vious basketball teams won 17 games during a regular season, Including last year's team

which finished 17-3 before beat- ing Stoneham in the first round of the tournament and then los- ing to Ipswich in the second round.
Coming into this season, expectations were high for the girls, but it became a reality when they knocked off Arlington Catholic at the buzzer, in arguably the biggest regular season win for the pro- gram since playing in the Merrimack Valley Conference in the early 90s.
Besides the win over AC, Vitale became the program's first ever 1,000 point scorer when she posted up during the first half of a road game against Division 4 sectional finalist Manchester-Essex. Then came the post season when the Wildcats knocked off Weston and Wayland, before Vitale came through with a huge second half performance helping Wilmington send previ- ously unbeaten and No. 1 seed Winthrop home with an over- time loss.
That put the Wilmington girls into the Division 3 North sec- tional final for the first time in program history. The Winthrop win made it 20 for the 2006-'O7

parquet floor to league rival Pentucket for the second time this season (by a combined six points) was tough to swallow for both Vitale and Bozzella.
"The first half we came out strong and we knew that Pentucket was a second half team so 1 guess we just weren't prepared for them," said Vitale. "They came out really strong in the second half. But we played our hardest but it just wasn't enough."
Certainly the effort was there, but on this day Pentucket's inside presence of Kirsten Daamen (8 block shots) and outside threat Ashley Viselli (19 points) had their days in the sun. .
"They definitely boxed out more and they definitely shut me down," said Vitale. "We couldn't get the ball in the post and they blocked a lot of our shots. And that (Kirsten Daamen) girl in the middle is a good, strong player and is very good defensively and she altered a lot of our shots."
Added Bozzella, "We altered our zone defense to stop that (Daamen) girl in the middle because when she got the ball she killed us the last time we played them. I think we did do a lot better with that (holding her to just two points) but we just couldn't stop them on the out- side with their shots."
Bozzella single handily got Wilmington back in the game netting consecutive three-point- ers, while she also scored the team's final eight points, all coming in the last 6:51 of the game. Obviously she didn't want to talk about her treys, or her 10 points.
"We really turned the pro- gram around and I'm very happy for all of the girls to be a part of that," said Bozzella. "We just wish we could have gone a little further."
Unfortunately that didn't hap- pen. Instead the entire team felt the sharp pains of the defeat, but hopefully the realize soon the big picture of every- thing they have done for not only on the basketball court, but for the program, the school and certainly the community who rallied around this team with the white T-Shirts and loud voices throughout this magnifi- cent tournament run.
"A game like this hurts and they are hurting right now," said Keane. "But I think once they look back and realize how special of a season this was. Playing here (at the Tsongas Arena) is a special accomplish- ment."
It certainly is. And despite the loss both Vitale and Bozzella ■were ***«•>•** W* that: It was the best senior year ever. I really can't even say how great it was," said Vitale, while Boz commented. "I couldn't ask for a better senior year."

After the game was over, head coach Jay Keane didn't even realize that the shot was blocked. It wasn't until he got home later than night and was reading up on his loss on line on the Boston Globe website There, high school writer Chris Forsberg had the entire video shot of the final seconds with Bozzella bringing the ball down the court, her pass, Brown's shot and Jacobsons' block.
"Alyssa never misses that shot in a million years," he said. "And if you watch the video you know why the shot missed because that girl made an incredible play, not only get- ting back, but to block the shot."

Cavanaugh honored as a courageous football player Bv MIKE IPPOLITO Sports Correspondent
The word courage is often times overused in the world of sports. A basketball guard courageously goes up for a rebound against a bigger man. A quarterback coura- geously stays in the pocket despite being pursued by an enormous defensive end.
These acts undoubtedly take a pretty good amount intesti- nal fortitude and OK, courage, if you want to call it that. But to find the true meaning of a courageous ath- lete, one need look no further than Wilmington High senior Kevin Cavanaugh.
Cavanaugh, a backup center with the Wildcats football team this past season was recently named the recipient of two Courageous Player Awards for Massachusetts football players.
In the summer following his sixth grade of school Cavanaugh was diagnosed with sarcoidosis, an auto immune disease that caused tiny non-cancerous tumors to develop on his eyes and on his brain. The illness severely affected Cavanaugh's vision and made him extremely weak as it got progressively worse.
Through over three years of chemotherapy and steroid treatments that at times made him feel even more sick than the illness itself, Cavanaugh fought back against the disease and by the time he was a sophomore in high school he had begun to show signs of recovery.
Another year later, as a junior, he was able to join the varsity football team for practices and games, although he was still far too ill to play very much. But by his senior year, he had suffi- ciently recovered and became a key contributor for the Wildcats on special teams and also took a few snaps at center.
But more than any key play that Cavanaugh may have made on special teams, the truly remarkable aspect of this young athlete was simply his ability to never give up and to get himself back on the field at all
Wilmington coach Bob Almeida, who has known Cavanaugh since being bis gym teacher when Cavanaugh was in the sixth grade, could not say enough about the type of person the Wildcats were lucky enough to have in Cavanaugh.
"I was thrilled to have him as part of our program," Almeida said. "I wish I could go out every year and coach a team full of Kevin Cavanaughs. I don't care if you go 0-11 or 11-0, you would still take a team full of Kevin Cavanaughs."
And Cavanaugh himself was thrilled to be a part of the team. Always an athlete before his illness, he could not wait to get back onto the field once he was feeling better. He had served as the team's ball boy during his sopho- more year, but that was not nearly enough to satisfy his love of football.
"I spoke to coach Almeida at the end of my sophomore sea- son and told him I wanted to play next year and he told me just to keep getting better and see how I feel next year," Cavanaugh said. "I came back junior year and I was still sick, but I was excited to play with the team."
Excited, but also still rather weak. But that did not stop him from getting on the field and facing the toughest play- ers on the Wildcats roster during practice. It as not easy, as Cavanaugh recalls but it ended up being well worth it.
Trying to block some of these kids was pretty rough," Cavanaugh laughed. "But at that point I was just so happy
to be playing I didn't even care. I just missed playing so much." His commitment to the
game and to his team did not surprise Almeida in the least, and he showed an even greater commitment heading into his senior season. "Junior year after not play-
ing for so long he did a nice job just to be playing," Almeida said. "But in the off season he worked extremely hard. He realized what it would take to get on the field more and worked tremen- dously hard with weights and on his speed. He worked out everyday."
While Almeida was incredi- bly impressed with Cavanaugh's work ethic and courage, Cavanaugh has at least that much respect and admiration for his coach, who he says was a big part of bring able stick with the team.
"He has been just great. He has always been there as a great support for me," Cavanaugh said. "He always told me to just get better and not worry about whether I played. I could not have asked for anything better from him. He was also always so understanding for me when I had to miss prac- tice to go to the doctor. A lot of coaches would not have done that." Cavanaugh was also lucky
enough to have the support of his teammates who admired the hard work he had to put in just to be part of the team.
"The other kids on the team have a tremendous amount of respect for Kevin," Almeida said. "It's because of players like Kevin that we have been able to accomplish what we have here at Wilmington High. It's the players who only get a limited amount of time on the field, but have a tremendous commitment to the team."
If Cavanaugh was a source of inspiration to his team- mates, then they were a huge source of inspiration for him as well.
"I can't ask for much more than what I have gotten from my friends and teammates," Cavanaugh said. "Especially during the season if I was sick or feeling down on myself they were always there to help pick me up. That definitely made things a lot more comfortable. That's what I love about Wilmington. Everyone is so close knit and cares about each other."
Finally and most important- ly for Cavanaugh has been the support he has gotten from his family, both through his illness as well as through his being part of the football team.
"My mother (Margaret) has always been great," Cavanaugh said. "She always took me to appointments and would take me to work with her if she needed to when I was missing school. She was really great. My sisters and brothers all did a great job as well. My brother Joey is an assistant coach with the foot- ball team and he always made sure I had the right equipment to protect myself."
Each and every one of his supporters was thrilled for him when he was honored as part of a recent banquet at Lantana's in Randolph by the Gridiron Club of Boston with the Most Courageous Player Award. Almeida nominated him for the award and he was one of four players to receive the Courageous Player Award that evening. He and the other recipients were the only players to speak in front of the audience that night, as the rest of the speakers were all coaches.
While he loved getting the award, the speaking part was not his favorite thing.
"The banquet was great. It
WHS Senior Kevin Cavanaugh.
was a really great experience and a great honor that coach Almeida put me up for the award," Cavanaugh said. "I was a little nervous speaking though. But I just put my head down all the way through it and read what I had written down."
Cavanaugh had better get used to public speaking, because he will be honored again in the coming weeks at another banquet at Lantana's by the Massachusetts Football Coaches Association, where he will once again speak to a packed house.
While he might not be look- ing forward to speaking to a
large crowd again, he is look ing forward to meeting some of his fellow recipients Cavanaugh humbly admires what the other Courageous Player recipients have been through to earn their awards
"I am looking forward to it It was a great time last tirrv meeting all of the different kids and hearing their sto- ries," Cavanaugh said. "I went through a lot. but it was so much worse for some other kids. To hear what they went through to be able to play football is just amazing.'
Cavanaugh may not realize it, but that is exactly wha*. people are saying about him Just amazing.

ickey team tell two wins away from championship title FROM PAGE SP1W
rebound squirted loose to the left post where Meghan Pickett slapped it home making it 2-0 alter two periods.
Barnstable put forth a tremendous offensive attack in both the third period and the overtime frame. On the power play, the Red Raiders cut the deficit in half as Scarpato put a wrist shot home from the right circle on a nice pass across ice from Manning.
Less than tliree minutes later, the Red Raiders tied the game up at 2-2 as defenseman Abby VanWormer took a big blast from the right point which was saved by Amelia Woodbury, but Manning was there to drive home the biscuit on the rebound.
Wilmington had two big scor- ing chances in the final nine minutes of the game as Sara Alonardo's shot from intight bounced off Cohen's last shoul- der, and then Scioli went in alone on a breakaway and just missed a wide open top right corner.
In I he final seconds, sopho- more defensemen Bridget Griffin made a tremendous poke check play stopping a 2- on-l break which put the game into overtime. That's when Woodbury
became the story. She stopped two big shots in the opening minute, and followed with nine more including another huge body save from intight, and then taking a slap shot right off the face mask in the final minute. She made 31 saves on the night and simply was absolutely phenomenal inbe- iween the pipes.
"Amelia was outstanding once again," said McMahon. "She like the rest of the girls are tak- ing this loss really hard. But I couldn't possibly have asked tor anything more from Amelia
or any of the other girls than what they gave A couple of them have been battling the flu and missing practice and they still gave it everything they had."
Wilmington had two good chances. The first came when Scioli came through the neutral zone and seemed to have a step on two defensemen but was hauled down with no call. And then Griffin took a wrist shot from the right point which was deflected onto the stick of Scioli, whose turnaround shot was stopped.
That put the game into the shootout. Each team would send five shooters to the middle of the ice, who would come down 1-on-l against the oppos- ing goalie. Scarpato and Manning both found the net, while Woodbury made one nice save going to her right. Cohen on the other hand, whose size played a big factor, made three saves while one shot missed the short side of the net.
"I don't like the shootout," said McMahon. "No way is that the way to win a game. Sudden death is the way the game is suppose to be decided but because of money, trouble, time and space, the MIAA wants a shootout."
Added Tucker, who was one of the players who competed in the shoot out, "We practiced (on shootouts) everyday in practice so we just said to each other to do what we have done all year. I don't know what hap- pened, the puck just didn't bounce our way. She did take up a big part of the net but if you go low, it would have been tougher for her but the puck just didn't bounce our way at all."
Wilmington skated off the ice understandably upset after the shoot was decided.
"A lot of people never expect- ed us to be here," said McMahon. "These girls over- came a lot. Between two games in three days after a week off of games, and the crowd, driving 90 minutes to get here, they have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. The girls showed just how classy they are."
Wilmington will return its entire team but two players next season, senior captains Jessica Scioli and Maria Tucker, who both surpassed the 100-point plateau in their illus- trious careers.
"Both Jessica and Maria have been leaders for this program for a long time even though they weren't captains the whole time," said McMahon. "They both have matured and they are both very coachable girls who are very dependable. They both have great sense of humor and have bright futures ahead of them. I'm going to miss both of them a lot. I know this isn't the way they wanted their sea- sons or careers to end, but I hope they will remember this season for the rest of their lives."
Added Tucker, "I've been with this team for five years and I've had a blast."
After reaching program histo- ry by getting to the state semi- final game, McMahon said he knows he'll always remember this 2006-'07 season.
"Without a doubt this is the most memorable team we've had here," he said. "This is a very close knit team who really got to know each other very well. I thank the parents for everything they have done and I thank my entire staff for everything they have done. I know all of us will remember this season for the rest of our lives and I'm sure the girls will too."

Woodbury saved her best for last '-
By JAMIE. POTE ■Sports Editor
BOURNE ~ A month ago when the Wilmington High girls hockey team captured the Cape North league title with a big home victory against Marblehead, freshman goalie Amelia Woodbury spoke at the length about the improvement of her teammates, especially the defensemen, but said that she thought her best playing days came a year ago.
Since that day the Wildcats won the Cape North League title, Woodbury has been a completely different goalie ... and she saved her best play over this past month and most especially in the state tourna- ment.
In the team's three state tour- nament games, Woodbury turned away 70 of 73 shots, had an absolutely incredible 96 save percentage rate and posted a remarkable 1.20 Goals Against Average. Those numbers were a huge reason why the Wildcats advanced to the Division 2 state semi-final game, losing in a heartbreaking shootout loss to Barnstable on Saturday night at Bourne's Gallo Arena.
Woodbury made 31 of 33 saves against the No. 2 seed Barnstable which included 19 combined in the third and over-
time periods. Barnstable total- ly outplayed Wilmington in the overtime period holding an 11-1 advantage in shots but it was Woodbury, who made four gems in the eight minute frame, who kept the game tied forcing the shootout.
"I couldn't have asked for anything more than what Amelia or anyone else gave tonight," said head coach Joe McMahon. "She played another outstanding game and she's taken this loss very hard just like the rest of the girls."
Woodbury was inbetween the pipes for all of the Wildcats 23 games this season posting an 19-3-1 record. Certainly win numbers 18 and 19 should be the most memorable for her, especially when she made 23 saves last Thursday night against a pesky Franklin team in the quarterfinals.
"Amelia played an outstand- ing game, an outstanding game," said McMahon after that Franklin win held at the Canton MVC Arena. "She real- ly came through and she was just very steady for us all game long'. Her rebound (control) has been a lot better and I give (assistant coach) Jimmy Dawson a lot of credit for that."
In the Franklin game, certain- ly Woodbury's game was over-
shadowed by the play of the Franklin goalie Taylor Weaver, who made 27 saves, including two awesome sliding kick out saves robbing Jess Scioli dar- ing the second period.
"(Weaver) was amazing. She was one of the best goalies I've seen all year," said Woodbury, who was then asked about see- ing those two saves from the other end of the ice: "I know it's like what is she doing down there."
While Taylor got the ooohs and aaahs, Woodbury made the very steady saves and that earned the victory. *.
"I'm so excited about this win. In the first period we came out a little flat but then we got pumped in the locker room and we came out flying," said Woodbury. "We work so weB together than any other team I've been on. Once we get going, the girls just find a way to put the puck in the net." I
Woodbury said she kept a sim- ple approach heading into the game. It.
"I came into the game focused and (I just said to myself) that no matter what happensvl wouldn't get mad but I was at focused and just stayed in the game," she said.

TOWN CRIER ■ WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 2007 SP9W
A banner winter season for all WHS sports teams FROM PAGE SP8W
I And oh yeah, only two teams in the past 18 years have gone further than this year's boys team.
, JVow let's get away from the parquet floor and concentrate on the mat. Ahh yes wrestling. A very young and inexperi- enced Wildcat wrestling team qualified for the state tourna- ment for the second straight year, posting ten regular sea- son wins. Then when the post season meets came about, Steve Sughrue was crowned the Cape Ann League, the Division 3 sectional and Division 3 state champion, all in the 103-pound weight division. He became the school's fifth individual state champion, and first underclass- men to have his arms raised as a state champion.
Shifting gears again, we turn to the cold ice arenas. The Wildcat boys hockey team had a disappointing season, but the girls certainly didn't. They like the boys and girls basketball and wrestling teams, made school history. The girls posted 19 wins, won the Cape League North title for the third time in four years, posted two tourna- ment wins over Notre Dame of Hingham and Franklin, besting their previous best of one win coming two years ago.
The two wins put the girls team into the Division 2 state semifinal game (no North and South sections when it comes to girls hockey) where the team lost a heartbreaker on Saturday night to No. 2 seed Barnstable in a shootout on the ice surface of Bourne's Gallo Arena.
In the big picture, in a matter
of four months, the girls bas- ketball and ice hockey teams made program history but advancing as far as each team did.
The boys basketball team made 90-year school history by winning its sixth straight league title, something no other athletic team has done dating back to the 1920s.
Individually, Ashley Vitale became the first female ever out of thousands of previous players who suited up before- hand, to reach 1,000 career points on the basketball court. And Steve Sughrue became the first of thousands of previous grapplers to be crowned the only non junior or senior state champion.
Absolutely amazing. All of it. I would like to personally
thank the coaches, Jay Keane (girls basketball), Jim McCune (boys basketball;, Joe McMahon (girls hockey) and Mike Pimental (wrestling) for always being so available and for all of their support of their teams and myself for not only this season but every season. Dealing people such as the four of them, as well as many of the other local coaches, is truly what helps put Wilmington High Athletics on the map each and every competitive season.
I would also like to congratu- late each of those four teams, and all of its players for tremendous hard working and successful seasons, not to men- tion a big pat on the back to those individuals, Ashley Vitale and Steve Sughrue for what they accomplished in front of these eyes.

Girls first skate past Franklin in quarterfinals
Corrections In last week's Town Crier edition, it was written that the
Wilmington High girls hockey team defeated Notre Dame of Hingham, 5-1, and that Jessica Scioli had three goals and Maria Tucker had two. That was incorrect. The actual score was (i-1 and Tucker scored three goals and Scioli scored two.
Additionally in the sub varsity sports round-up, two names were left off the rosters, including Cory Mason and Dylan Heed on the JV Boys Basketball team.
We apologize for the errors.
By_JAMIE POTE Sports Editor
CANTON - It had been a week since they defeated Notre Dame of Hingham in the first round, so the lay-off certainly showed. Facing a pretty tough No. 0 seed Franklin team with a dynamite goalie, it took a while for the Wilmington High girls hockey team to polish off the win, but the 'Cats did so taking the Bulldogs. 3-1, in last Thursday night's Division 2 state quarterfinal game played at the Canton MVC Arena.
After a very sluggish first period. Wilmington put 14 shots on net in the second period and got one by Taylor Weaver (28 saves) before making it 2-0 just under six minutes to go in the game.
The Bulldogs (14-5-2) got right back in the game scoring their lone goal with 3:06 to go, only to see senior Maria Tucker put forth a very impressive individ- ual effort scoring the team's third and "final goal just 19 sec- onds later for the team's sec- ond post season win, the most in the program's young history.
"As the saying goes it was an ugly win," said Wildcat head coach Joe McMahon. "But the one thing I can say about these girls is they just don't give up. They just keep coming and coming. Franklin is a very good team. Their goalie was tremendous and they are a good team. The}1 didiVt have a lot of numbers but 1 tell you they were all over us.
"We may have played most of the game in their zone, but they were all over us. That was not our game. That was not the same team I coached in the Notre Dame of Hingham win. We came out Hat and stayed flat until the last few minutes of the game and that's some- thing they can't do. Well not against Barnstable. "
Wilmington should have been on the scoreboard very early in the second period but Taylor absolutely robbed senior Jessica Scioli with two saves that you probably won't see too many times in a girls hockey game. Tucker was on the left circle and sent a pass across to the far post to Scioli, whose
quick wrister was kicked out by the right pad ot Taylor, who came flying across the crease, to then also kick out the hard rebound shot from the all-star forward keeping the game scoreless.
But the Wilmington duo final- ly solved Taylor's ways. With 1:33 left in the second period. Tucker took a wrist shot and Scioli was there on the left side to redirect the peck home mak- ing it 1-0 after the second peri- od intermission.
Wilmington made it 2-0 just under sue minutes to go in t he- game On a substitution mishap, P'ranklin had just four players on the ice with a facccsY in its own end. The puck was dropix;d and Meghan Pickett sen! a pass across to her right to Marie I'escatore. who shifted first to her left before darting right to beat Taylor and make it a two goal game.
The Wildcats second line of Pickett, I'escatore and Kaitlyn Souza played extremely well as did the pair of defensemen behind them in Colleen Magee

HERB CHAMBERS HONDA OF BURLINGTON 33 Cambridge Street • BURLINGTON, MA
There is an old, sometimes tired rule of thumb. One mobile, big player in the middle more often than not becomes the deciding factor defensively, especially in the postseason when blocked shots and intimi- dation usually spell victory.
That was just what happened to the Wilmington High School basketball girls' last week, as their superb season ended thanks to a flurry of blocked shots by 6'2" Pentucket center Kirsten Daamen. Thirteen blocked shots by Daamen helped her team to the tough- to-take 41-39 WHS loss in the Division III North Final.
What high school center blocks 13 shots, five coming in a four minute second half 11-0 run by the winners? According to a couple of veteran coaching
friends of mine that attended the contest, if Daamen is taken out of this defensive equation at any point during the game, Wilmington wins and moves on.
The WHS girls have a great player in Cape Ann League Player of the Year Ashley Vitale and a solid complement in Brianne Bozzella, but according to these coaches, Daamen was the difference in helping her team erase a 22-19 WHS' halftime lead. All that being said, Wilmington had a superb season, one of the best in the school's history.
Don't look now Tewksbury
The tide to change the TMHS' nickname from Redmen to almost anything else might be heading its way. Athletic Director Bob Aylward, who has said that he would be willing to change the moniker of 'Redmen' should it prove to be hurtful to anyone, namely Native Americans, must have read with interest that the Natick School Committee bowed to advancing pressure by voting 4-3 last week to dump their 'Redmen' nickname.
The Metrowest' Kathy Uek reported last week that there "will be no more Redmen in Natick," and that they town must find " a new slogan that
fits the school's winning tradi- tion." In short, no more Redmen' at Natick High
School. Sound familiar Tewksbury?
Dan Loudfoot, an American Indian from Boston who took part in the Natick debate, said in the Metrowest report that appeared in the Boston Herald last week, that: "It's offensive to me. It's the same as the N word."
To me, this is overkill and exaggeration at its' most ridiculous. The Redmen name is nowhere near as ugly as the word that Loudfoot mistakenly refers to. All he is doing by using this comparison is play- ing on peoples' emotions by throwing the most despicable word ever uttered by the human race out there for public consumption. It worked in Natick. Now, I'm assuming it's on the way to Tewksbury in some shape or form.
The story also quoted long- time Natick resident Richard Perry as saying that the Natick School Committee bowed to pressure when the Chief of the Natick Praying Indians, 'Caring Hands,' got involved in the discussion back in December, saying that the name Redmen was "racist, demeaning and offensive."
"It's political correctness
gone mad," said Perry, to much applause, according to the report.
Now, according to this report, the Natick School Committee must come up with $6,000 next fall for new uniforms, depicting a new name for the high school's football and soccer teams. It might be worth the money just to make the hard feelings go away that these Indians nicknames have creat- ed.
The one real plus, other than ending this discussion once and for all, would be a way to final- ly stop calling all the girls' sports in Tewksbury 'Redmen.' I've never been comfortable using the name 'Redwomen' when reporting on girls' sports at Tewksbury High School. It's just silly. No one should under- estimate, however, the hurt feelings and anger that this debate has generated. It's com- ing your way Tewksbury. It's just a matter of time.
Billy Marsdcn impressive Former TMHS star forward
and rebounding machine Mike Manna (1971-72) came away very impressed with Central Catholic sophomore guard Billy Marsden last week after watch- ing the Red Raiders upset Lexington, 57-50 in Division I North Semifinal action.
Marsden finished with 18 points off the bench, including a big three-pointer with 40 seconds left to play.
Manna, who referees sixth, seventh and eighth grade trav- eling league basketball in Reading, said that Marsden got to every loose ball, and that his quickness on both ends of the floor was even more impressive than the Central player that everyone is talking about, Jose Cruz.
Manna's opinion is not one to be taken lightly. The guy could rebound with players three to four inches taller than him back in the day. Any loose ball or borderline rebound was Manna's, no questions asked. Former TMHS girls' varsity basketball coach Barry Sheehan utilizes Manna's talent evaluations in the Reading youth basketball traveling pro- gram.
"Mike does a nice job," said Sheehan recently. "He comes and helps out with our tryouts and evaluates players. He's got a good eye for players."
Sheehan also noted that he's not above giving Manna some 'tips' when he referees some of his son's traveling team games.
Chinese food and March Madness
For many years, my buddies
and I would gather around the television at a local Chinese resteurant/watering hole and watch, most, if not all, of the of the opening day NCAA Men s Basketball Tournament games. March Madness, noodle soup, and plenty of cold beers for everyone.
As we've all gotten older, that day has faded into memory and thankfully, some sobriety. Maybe we are just all too old. I'm told by one veteran opening round Madman that the tradi- tion does continue, on a reduced scale. Thank God. Route 38 will be a much safer place come Thursday night.
Boston College and Holy Cross will both be involved in tough opening round games. The Eagles (20-11), given their tough competition in the ACC, will survive Texas Tech (21-12) and the warm and cuddly Bobby Knight. The Crusaders of Holy Cross (25^) will say goodbye very early and lose to Southern Illinois (27-6). But, what do I know?
My bracket is almost always in the trash by day one, and I eventually find out that some- one that doesn't know if a bas- ketball is pumped up or stuffed wins the office pool. So, I'll make my Day One predictions and leave it at that.

In the winter of 1982, my roommate Don Ciampa (cur- rent Tyngsboro High School principal) would come through the door after a hard day at work teaching math at Tewksbury High School singing the praises of the TMHS girls' varsity basketball team. Ciampa was the junior varsity coach in Tewksbury at the time, and somehow knew that he had an instant pipeline to a devel- oping story worth reporting.
"Cookie, you should come check out a varsity girls' game, we fast-break, press defensive- ly, and we have two kids that are major college prospects." These were the days that TMHS girls' basketball was not high on my sports' news agenda. I could remember when the high school basketball girls played in skirts and walked the ball up the court between the 50 or so jump balls. Boring, I said to myself. Why would I want to watch high school girls play basketball? I guess you could say that I was the original male chauvinist sports editor.

As the Town Crier went to .press on Wednesday night, the Austin Prep girls hockey team had some very important busi-
ness of their own to take care of as they were preparing for an 8:15 faceoff in the Division 1 state championship game against Arlington Catholic at Harvard University. ;, The fourth seeded Cougars earned a trip to the finals under the direction of head coach and Wilmington resident Jim McGonagle with a thrilling 4f3 overtime shootout win over the No. 1 seed St. Mary's in the /semi-finals last week, improv- .jng their record on the season .JJB 19-3-1. Arlington Catholic entered the final with a record of 194-1.
. Along with McGonagle, the
.Cougars also have some local flavor in freshman defensemen Marybeth McMahon of Wilmington and Kaleigh Gorman of Tewksbury.
In some ways, the Cougars trip to the state finals may be one year too late, as after an outstanding regular season last year, they looked to be in posi- tion to make a run at the state
title, but were eliminated in the quarterfinals. After losing some key players off of that squad, nobody knew quite what to expect from this year's ver- sion of the Cougars.
"At the beginning of the year we did not know what we had, but we had some transfers come in who turned out to be very good for us," McGonagle said. "We did not know what we had, but it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise."
Two of the transfer who had the biggest impact for the Cougars were junior Allison Roy of Billerica and sophomore Katharine Dagle of Westford. Dagle came through for the Cougars when it mattered most against St. Mary's scoring the only goal of the shootout to secure the victory. It was Dagle's 34th goal of the season, and her second of the night as she had scored early in the game to give the Cougars a 1-0 lead.
Sophomore goalie Meghan Grant played her usual out- standing game in net for the Cougars, making 41 saves and stopping the powerful St. Mary's offense cold after they had taken a 3-1 lead in the sec-
ond period, allowing her team- mates to come back and tie the game at three all and send the game into overtime.
There may have been some question marks heading into the season, but Grant was cer- tainly not one of them.
Two years ago as an eighth grader our regular goalies went down and Meghan stepped right in and ended up playing with a broken wrist," McGonagle said. "We knew what we were getting with her."
Also playing a key role for the Cougars against St. Mary's was Tewksbury's Gorman, who did not play a lot in the game, but made the most of her time while she was on the ice, draw- ing a key penalty against St. Mary's late ion the game that led to Austin Prep's tying goal.
"We had out top line on the ice for three minutes and they were dragging so I put Kaleigh out and she drew the penalty," McGonagle said. "That's what got us the tying goal. She has done a nice job for us in spot duty and that was a good exam- ple of it."
Wilmington's McMahon, much like Gorman, has not seen a ton of ice time this sea-
son. This isn't surprising, being a freshman on such a tal- ented team, but she has shown a great deal of promise for he future.
"Marybeth is learning our system," McGonagle said. "She is trying to take it all in and she is just going to keep getting bet- ter."
The Cougars advanced to the St. Mary's game with victories over Wakefield by a score of 2-1 on the quarterfinals and a 7-1 rout of Archbishop Williams in the first round.
As they prepared for fellow Catholic Central League foe Arlington Catholic, McGonagle knew his team would be facing their toughest test of the sea- son. After all, AC, and the Cougars two of their three defeats on the season.
"They are a very good team. We respect them a lot," McGonagle said. "They have beaten us twice, but we have been playing our best hockey of the season for the past three weeks. We are looking forward to Wednesday night and hoping to come out with a state cham- pionship."
Cimaglia breaks it all down
A little bit of this and a tittle bit of that • Bv LOUIE CIMAGLIA
Sports Correspondent March is awesome. College Basketball. Big
League Baseball. The NBA and NHL seasons are drawing to a close.
But first, the Wilmington High School winter seasons should be commended. The Girls Basketball team lost an absolute heartbreaker to Pentucket at the Tsongas Arena on Saturday morning, closing out a fantastic year.
The Girls Hockey team took good care of both of their oppo- nents, winning by scores of 6-1 and 3-1 before falling to Barnstable in a shoot out, 3-2, on Saturday night in a terrific on ice battle from start to fin- ish. This team should also be commended for its terrific accomplishments. The Boys Basketball team
was overmatched by a very good Bedford team, but that does not take away from the season they had, including a sixth straight Cape Ann League title ...
... Turning to college basket- ball You should know that brackets came out on Sunday night. That is a holiday, like the scene in "Fever Pitch" when Jimmy Fallon opens the new season tickets.
Now, I have made some crazy predictions in the past. Some dead on (Florida winning the BCS Championship), and some very wrong, (Picking LSU to win the NCAA tourney this year and the Bears to win the Super Bowl). You can't win them all.
This pick may just be my most ridiculous ever. Since LSU didn't even make the tourney, I am investing my faith in the Oregon Ducks. I don't believe in picking a one or two seed to win. The Ducks beat UCLA ear- lier in the year. They play with passion. They hit three's with great frequency, but do not rely solely on the three.
North Carolina is the attrac- tive pick, but they have a very tough division. They may have to go through Marquette, USC, Texas, Washington State, Georgetown or Boston College
The safest pick may be Kansas. Their division isn't as strong, and they could, and probably should, cruise into the Final Four. Then again, it's March Madness.
As for the defending champs, Florida has been stumbling as of late. But they do still have all five starters from last year and could peak again during the tourney. A word to the wise: Wisconsin's stock has greatly decreased, while Memphis'
stock is on the rise. So much bracketology. So lit-
tle time. I'm all tingly. March also means something
else ... time for people to give reasons for the Red Sox win- ning another World Series.
Here are a few quick reasons. One - David Ortiz is in great shape and is ready to push for the MVP...again. Two - Manny showed up on time! Three - the starting rotation is stacked. Schilling, Beckett, Dice-K, Papelbon, Lester and Wakefield are all healthy and ready to go. Four - Breathe a sigh of relief Red Sox nation, Wily Mo Pena has had his contracted extend- ed another year. Five - The Yankees starting five is sketchy, Mo Rivera wants out and A-Rod is losing more and more favor in the Big Apple every time he opens his mouth
...Back to the parquet floor. Even though the NBA and NHL are kind of boring, they deserve mention. The Western Conference Playoffs in the NBA should be great. The top eight teams, whichever they pan out to be, will all be evenly matched and could all contend for the crown. The East? Not so much. With Dwayne Wade gone the Heat lost their spark. The Pistons aren't as dominant as
they once were and I don't think the Celtics will go far in the playoffs. Call me crazy.
The Bruins aren't postseason bound either. Good news for the NHL is that some new teams will make the playoffs. Teams like the Predators and the Wild are finally coming into their own, after many seasons of mediocrity...
... Tossing to some end zone play, the Patriots are making some serious waves. They have been signing everyone in sight, including beastly linebacker Adalius Thomas, fleet wideouts Donte Stallworth, Kelley Washington and Wes Welker, and have also added Kyle Brady and Sammy Morris ...
... OK back to hoops. In a shocking turn of events, UCONN, Tennessee, Duke and UNC are the four number one seeds in the women's tourna- ment. Take your pick...
Oh wait more gridiron thoughts ... The NFL draft is fast approaching. For some it couldn't come any faster. Scouts overanalyze everything about every player. Which is dumb. Does the 20 yard shuttle run really determine a football player? I think not.
Have a nice St. Patrick's Day everyone May the luck o' the Irish be with your brackets.
broke down, went to a practice, took some photos, reported on a couple of games, and was sold on the fact that something was very different about this team. This was not your mothers' basketball. They did run the break, fill the lanes and press all over the court. They did have two girls that were stars- center Jerrie Bernier and point guard Patty Murphy. What coach and roommate Ciampa always managed to include in this unusual high school equa- tion was that this team had a great coach that could imple- ment and run this system that would turn girls' varsity bas- ketball in Tewksbury on its' ear.
You could look up the defini- tion of a winner in any dictio- nary and Barry Sheehan's bio should appear there, right along with a photo of the 1981- 82 Tewksbury High School bas- ketball girls that finished that season undefeated at 19-0 in the Merrimack Valley Conference. The team compiled a 20-1 over- all record to earn its' place as the greatest girls' varsity team in TMHS history.
To say that Sheehan, a former three-sport star athlete at TMHS, was one of the best and most admired people to ever coach at the school would not be overstating the effect that he had on the team and its' ath- letes. My roommate was right on. This team could play a brand of basketball that would convert this chauvinist forever. And that guy Sheehan. He sure could coach.
The 55-year-old Sheehan is a longtime removed from TMHS, having left teaching English and coaching football and girls' basketball in 1985. He has held various jobs since that time before settling in as a broker for buddy Len Gentile's mort- gage business in Newton.
"When Proposition two-and- one half came in, I was right on the bubble whether I'd be rehired or not," remembers Sheehan. Sheehan held a cou- ple of jobs after coaching before working in the mortgage business for the past 14 years. Tewksbury's coaching and teaching loss was the gain of many a contented homeowner.

Tl struggle all but ended wh Sheehan discovered thai Bernier could rebound and fire the ball out on the break to the streaking Murphy. This \v t Showtime even before the lx si of Magic Johnson and I Lakers took over. Sheehan had his version right there Tewksbury.
"We played an exciting brand of basketball and people liked watching it," says the formei TMHS' coach. " The kids liked playing that way ipressi:. defensively, running offensh i ly), and they had fun, and that's the bottom line. If y play and enjoy a sport, you • going to play and practice it.
It was the athletic ability a- solid character of Bernier and Murphy that helped lead t way for Sheehan and his tea' i "They both worked hard.

"Jerrie ended up getting a Division I schoh • ship to the University oi Massachusetts (Amherst). ana Tewksbury doesn't usually pi duce too many Division I pi a - ers, and that kind of says it.. about her ability as a play '

Turning back to the 1980s with two dynamite hoop teams FROM PAGE SP11W
right there. Fatty got a Division il scholarship to New Hampshire College, and she
' was a very good player also." That coach, may be a bit
understated. The two girls, " interviewed lor a sports feature
in 11*81, never once mentioned " statistics or personal achieve- - ments. They were just all about < winning and making their team • better. Their individual statis-
tics won't be mentioned here • for just that reason. Bernier . and Murphy were all about win- , ning based upon the team con- . cepl coached by Sheehan,
"They were both great people . to coach, and 1 know that they
% are successful people and great , parents." said Sheehan. "Jerrie
lives in the Hopkinton area and has a couple of kids, and Patty lives in the Wayland-Sudbury area and has a couple of kids
' also They were solid people. It's one thing lo have the abili- ty but it's another to put it to the best use They both worked extremely hard to get where they were, not only in basket- ball, but Patty m track and Jerrie in volleyball."
Back in those days, the boys' - and girls' varsity teams played
on the same night and in the same gymnasium. "I can remember that we used to out- draw the boys." says Sheehan "People just liked that style «>! play."
lie neglects to mention that most people up until then had
• never seen a girls' team fast- » break and press all over the
court \mv, thai style of play is the norm Hack then, it was penciled in on your calendar as a riieht -il pure hoop entertain- ment.
"Those two seasons, we had some big wins against some good learns, and we had some tournament wins," says Sheehan, while noting that his teams never managed to win an .'.. 'in Mass title despite all that regular season success.
Man still lists that 1981-82 season as one of his most satis- fyinu coaching achievements.
i ing that regular season al : pretty special, but
.' loot ball and beating Wilmington was always a good
K rience." says Sheehan.
Three-spoil star Sheehan graduated from
Tewksbury High School in 1969, I ' - not surprising that he
lists he spurt of football as an in lui nee Iwth athletically and
sstonally. Barry played ftv I) ill. basketball and base- 1 "MlIS, and he lists his
I ball i Tony Romano) and football i the late John Per,T. mil as profound influ- ences on his life today.
"Once I started coaching and leaching in Tewksbury, Bob Aylward really was a big influ- ent and when I was a student and a player in Tewksbury, my rule models were Tony and
'Kites Sheehan. "I see
Tony at Longmeadow, where I play golf, and I still see Bob because I'm on the Hall of Fame Committee at Tewksbury High School."
Sheehan learned early as a player in Tewksbury that he could indeed take something away from losing. He remem- bered the setbacks, and often vowed not lo repeal them
"I can still remember the guys that used lo knock me down when I was playing football," says Sheehan, who was the cap- tain of the TMIIS' football squad his senior season, when the team, under coach Bob Vadeboncouer, was approach- ing the school record for con- secutive losses.
Sheehan helped lead that squad out of the mire, as the Redmen shot out of the gates with five wins to begin the 1969 season, making thai losing streak just another memory and life lesson
"I have problems with my knee from an old high school football injury, but I still would- n't trade anything for that experience of playing and coaching loot ball in Tewksbury," says Sheehan
The importance of family Talk of wins and losses pale
when Sheehan talks about his family and how special Linda, his wife of 16 years, and sons Conor, 14 and Mark, 12 are to him.
"The birth of my kids was pretty special," says Sheehan smiling.
The lessons that Sheehan learned playing and coaching in Tewksbury are not lost on his Iwo boys Both his sons play youth basketball in Beading, where Sheehan coaches the eighth grade traveling team. Playing sports, whether it's football, basketball or lacrosse, is important to Sheehan and his sons.
"They both know that I like sports, and I do encourage them. I think sports are great teachers of life lessons, and I see that now. dial with them playing-part icularly football that it leaches you to gel knocked down and choosing between getting back up or staying down. I've seen them getting up alter gelling knocked down al a young age, so 1 feel pretty confident that they're going to do well, because they've both been able to handle adversity at an early age."
They've also been blessed with a Dad that knows a little something about bouncing back up and getting back in the game.

lems with both knees through- out his playing career, begin- ning with his freshmen season with the University of Maine basketball team, right on up

until his final days as a guard with perennial champion M&S Mobil in the Tewksbury Adult Basketball League.
Having played against, and lost lo Sheehan for many years in that league, I was nol sur- prised to see him looking like lie could still dribble into the lane and work his way closer lo the bucket with that head fake behind a piek, ending with a picture perfect-classic form jump shot. Bum knees or no bum knees, he still beat my team every time. They only way lo beat Sheehan was to knock him down.
Even that didn't matter much, for the talent of Mobil teammates Keith and T.J. Caveney Steve Catalano, Mike Zabawa. and the irrepressible Gene Manley always helped pick Sheehan up and send me and my less-talented team- mates down to another defeat.
"The last time I played, T.J. Caveney threw me a pass, and 1 went up and came down, hurt my knee, and as I'm laying on the floor. I thought hey I gotta go to work tomorrow, and I said to myself T think that it's time to stop playing'. And that was my good knee that I hurt, so I figured that was it. Then I started refereeing after that."
The 1981-82 Tewksbury Memorial High School Girls Basketball team fin- ished the regular season with an 19-0 record, and an overall record of 20-1. The team was coached by Barry Sheehan and his assistant Don Ciampa. Members of the team include: tri-cap tains June DeStefano, Patty Murphy and Jerrie Bernier, as well as Sue Rheault, Kris Robinson, Mary Hill, Shawna Booker, Maria Catalano, Kathy Sullivan, Leann Stewart, Pam Brabant, Cindy Fentross, Robin Riddle and Chris Kiernan.
At Ihe lime I remember thanking the basketball gods. Now, that Sheehan was retired, maybe I could win a couple of games'.' Just my luck, I lore my Achilles tendon and was sent lo the sidelines, where I could thankfully, watch more girls' basketball, thanks to Sheehan and Ciampa introducing me to this new, improved style of play.
No regrets for this coach
Sheehan admits that he has no regrets regarding his coach- ing career in Tewksbury. Early on u\ 1976, when Tony Romano (now an assistant principal at Lowell Catholic), stopped coaching basketball in Tewksbury, I lobbied for Sheehan as the next TMHS' boys varsity basketball coach. The perfect guy for the job, I
thought. He would be the one that would, and could maintain the tradition established by Romano and his successor Mickey Sullivan (now Director of Athletics at Lowell Catholic).
Sheehan was right there with me in knowing that he could do the job that eventually went to loyal Romano assistant and great guy Dave Mullen, but as Ls most often the case with Sheehan, class won out over ambition.
"It was always my goal to do that (coach the TMHS boys), and I was coaching football, and at the time Dave Mullen was the assistant with Tony and I was interested in the job, but I just felt that Dave should have a shot at the job. I spoke with other people, and they all felt that Dave should have a shot at it.
"At the same time, the girls' job opened up and I grabbed that, so I have no regrets. I had a great time coaching the girls, and it was a nice transition coaching the boys in football to coaching the girls. It was just a great experience. I would liked to have coached the boys, but as it turned out, I got the girls' job and it turned out great. I loved it."
Not all of Sheehan's memo- ries involve playing and coach- ing.
"I did referee a girls' Division I Final at the Fleet Center, and I was proud to do that, but I stopped refereeing when my
kids started playing. I help coordinate the Reading pro- gram, and I coach the eighth grade traveling team."
Of course, no one's life is made up of just memories, Sheehan still likes to do more than just recall what was and when. "I like to play golf, but I can't play as much as I used to because of the kids."
It's not hard to tell however, that Sheehan still gets a big kick out of coaching. One of the classic Sheehan quotes from the 1979 TMHS' Sports Banquet was, after presenting his sister Sally with an award: "It's great to have a sister on the team for someone to yell at. I don't even have to feel bad about it."
How true that was. Sister Sally was around before the Tewksbury girls got really good at playing her big brother's sys- tem. It turned out that she was invaluable to the success that was to come not long after that banquet at the Elks Hall in the spring of 1979.
One year later, the TMHS' girls would go on a roll, and my roommate couldn't stop talking about how much he enjoyed coaching those teams and working with Sheehan.
Sometimes you are lucky enough to meet and talk to someone who has that rare gift to affect young peoples* lives in nothing but a positive manner. Barry Sheehan is one of those people.
Fifth grade girls defeat Tewksbury to take tournament title
Wilmington's George Robbins 5th grade girl's basketball team capped off their inaugural season by winning the Division 5 Championship against Tewksbury this past Sunday.
For most of the game the play in the paint was controlled by Wilmington's centers Hannah Reynolds and Kim Donahue. Tewksbury's offense had trouble gaining any type of momentum due to the tenacious defensive play of Rachael Mara, lex Bischoff and Adriana Kippenburger.
Wilmington enjoyed a first round bye due to its regular season winning record. Many of the teams success can be contributed to the luxury its coaches had to interchange player's positions. Cassie Grasso, Sarah Cokash and Caitlyn Parrot were all called upon to perform the difficult task of carrying double duty.
Wilmington never relinquished a lead in any of their four playoff games. They had their opposition literally seeing double with the play of point guards. QurisLu and Carli Brent and: Wiiiii MI ■laxwimmn
Special thanks to all three coaches (George hoDoins, Bin Mara, and Kathleen Reynolds) who through their own conduct and ded- ication showed these girls how to play with class and pride.

Local Police riding new Dodge Char
Charge! By DOUG WOOD-BOYLE
First it was the State Police and now Woburn has mounted up their new (Dodge) Chargers* to go out in hot pursuit of the criminal element in a safe and cost-effec- tive manner. In Woburn, the three new police vehicles are still classified as an exper- iment, but they seem to be passing the test after six months on the road.
"One of the main issues was where we could save money on gasoline," Woburn Police Chief Philip Mahoney said. The Charger has a V-8 option and a V-6. We went
with the V4." According to Chief Mahoney,
the research done by Daimler Chrysler, the manufacturer and by the Michigan and California state police show a savings of about 10 percent in fuel costs. He added that Woburn was get- ting about 17 miles per-gallon with the old Ford Crown Victoria® V-8 engines and get about 19 miles per-gallon with the new vehicles.
However, the size of the vehi- cle has forced the department to make some adjustments. The first was to carry a donut as a
spare tire. Mahoney noted that the
Dodge police package provides a full size spare tire, but it takes up too much space in the trunk. Because the space is needed for various pieces of emergency equipment, the full size was replaced with the donut.
If an officer gets a flat on the road they would have to change the tire with the donut and then bring the car back to the station to have the regular size tire placed on it. During this time the vehicle would be out of service and the officer
would have to use a back-up vehicle.
Another adjustment has been the small back seat in the sportier Charger. It is difficult for officers making an arrest of a large person to get the person into the back seat. However, Mahoney noted that this has not been a problem as yet.
"We did have to install a smaller plastic seat in the

rear." he added. The officers have also had to
compensate for more a larger blind spot in the vehicles sight lines. Because it is a smaller vehicle the window space is not as large and officers need to adapt to new driving tech- niques.
Dodge has had to deal with a heating issue in one of the new vehicles. The heating system has been blowing cold air but the manufacturer is working on the problem as part of the vehi- cles extended warranty.
The vehicles were purchased through a statewide contract administered by the Greater Boston Police Consortium. However the distributor that sold the car does not have the facility to repair them so that work has been given to Burlington Dodge.
Mahoney is happy with the arrangement as the service is closer. The distributor is in Northboro.
"The cars are just as peppy," Mahoney said. "We only had the small V-8 with the Crown Victorias."
He added, "The officers seem to like them on the whole,"
So far, Mahoney has not received any complaints about the cars being hard to handle in slippery weather. He noted that the police package that includes special suspension is well designed.
It seems that no other municipal force in this area has tried the vehicle as yet. However, Mahoney discovered that the State Police have about 12 of them in their fleet.
He had occasion to talk with a State Police Sergeant who was driving one of the new Chargers and that officer gave the car a good report.
"We are looking at the cars for a one year period," Mahoney said. "Sometime this summer we will make a deci- sion on whether we will contin- ue to use them or go back to the Crown Victoria."
According to the Chief, Woburn keeps there top six vehicles on the front line for a two yea* . period. The Department has a Capital Purchase plan that calls for three new vehicles per-year.
After two years, the cruis- ers are rotated into the reserve fleet and eventually become
the cars that detectives and administrators use.
Mahoney did note that because of the distinctive styling of the car it could never be used for undercover work Because of a rigid mainte- nance plan, some police cruis- ers are kept lor up to 10 years and in some cases they get turned over for use by ' er departments in the city.

heart of a true warrior, Leonidas, played here by Gerard Butler, valiantly held off the Persians at the pass of Thermopylae. I won't tell you how it ended, but if you studied history at all then its no secret.
300 is a mythical embell- ishment of ancient history that paints the screen red and even squeezes in some crazy critters.
300 weaves a bit of politi- cal intrigue between the bat- tle sequences, most of it involving the corrupt Theron (Dominic West) and the deformed traitor Ephialtes (Andrew Tiernan).
The bulk of the movie is devoted to highly stylized combat. Spears and swords tear into flesh. Persian ele- phants go flying off cliffs. Xerxes sends wave after wave of fighters against the Spartans, only to see them punctured and hacked to bits.
It oozes testosterone, brought to life in vivid layers of virtual scenery. It's obvi- ous that the backdrops aren't real, but they're impressively integrated into the live
action. Some scenes look as if they've been dipped in bronze; others have a silvery hue that conjures a mood somewhere between color and black and white.
300 is an adult comic book come to life in bloody glory, much like Sin City.
"ZODIAC" GRADE: **♦
For almost 20 years the Zodiac Killer terrorized the San Francisco Bay Area with a series of apparently ran- dom murders.
Director David Fincher's re-creation of the notorious and still officially unsolved case is a methodical depic- tion of the killer's crimes and the authorities' response. This may just be the ultimate police movie, shwoing onscreen the digging that goes into an investigation, ultimately unleashing a river of factual information for the viewer to sift through.
"Zodiac" has a few moments of suspense but is less concerned with being this type of triller film than it is in following a hugely complicated case over many, many years.
In fact, the true theme of this 2-hour, 40-minute movie may be the passage of time. The three men who become obsessed with the case — police detective David Toschi (Mark Ruffalo), San Francisco Chronicle crime reporter Paul Avery (Robert Downey Jr.) and the paper's editorial cartoonist, Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal) — start out as young men and by film's end are graying and burned out.
Characters show up, hang around a few years and van- ish. Cops work on the case for decades, then retire. Paperwork and evidence are relegated to musty store- rooms. The participants marry, start families, some- times divorce. Most move on. A few can't.
The one constant in their lives seems to be the killer himself. Zodiac wasn't con- tent just to murder people. He wanted to taunt the authorities with coded mes- sages. He struck up relation- ships with the reporters cov- ering the crimes. And his ability to avoid detection and capture (although the film makes a pretty good case for the killer's identity) only fueled the unquenchable desire to solve the mystery.
Fincher has assembled a

A TAVERN, WEATHERVANE ANDPUBLIC GREEN
Perfect timing? (Wilmington)
"How many times have you driven by the Col. Joshua Harnden Tavern at 420 Salem Street (Route 62) and contemplated a visit?" notes the "Wilmington Town Crier."
"If you're like many resi- dents, you've probably been tempted more than once. In fact, many visitors are curi- ous, people just passing by the historic landmark.
"The number of visitors to the Museum varies wildly. It's not unusual to get one or two people stopping in, some- times on their lunch break, sometimes just driving by on an impulse,' explained Museum Curator Terry McDermott. 'Almost all of these drop-ins will say 'I've been meaning to visit this building for years and when I saw that you were open today I had to stop in."
"Over the past two years, the Museum has seen about 500 visitors annually. During most of the year, the Museum is open for free tours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to*$ p.m.; the first Sunday of the month from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.; the fourth Wednesday of the month from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., and by appointment. If the first Sunday of the month is a holiday or a holiday week- end, the Open House is usual- ly moved to the following Sunday.
"An average tour takes 20- 30 minutes, but there's a lot of variability in that. McDermott noted, 'Once in a while, someone will want to walk through quickly. Other times, we have guests who are interested in all sorts of details and we can easily spend 45 minutes showing the house and discussing Wilmington or other local history.'
"There is much to see at the museum, and items and exhibits include: a beehive oven and an open fireplace with eighteenth/nineteenth century cooking equipment;
Franklin fireplace; reputed hiding spot on the Underground Railroad; col- lection of spinning wheels; old fashioned rope beds; orig- inal wood floors; window- panes with antique glass; early 20th century grandfa- ther clock in working order; Mrs. Hiller's alligator handrail; and photographs from the Bond Collection which show Wilmington in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century. In the spring and summer, the Carriage House will reopen and display an agricultural tool exhibit..."
In search of color (Reading)
"A boy, a dog, and....? If you have any photographs or memories of what the weath- ervane that originally sat atop the Joshua Eaton School clock tower looked like, the Joshua Eaton Clock Tower Preservation Committee (JECTPC) would like to hear from you," notes
the Reading edition of the "Daily Times Chronicle."
"For months, the group has been combing through old newspapers, town reports, and photographs, looking for a clear image showing the complete weath- ervane of the local Summer Avenue landmark. Virginia Adams of the Reading Historical Commission and Rachel Baumgartner of the Reading Public Library have assisted the group with the research. The clearest image found to date is from a photo postcard from about 1950. According to Everett Blodgett of the Reading Antiquarian Society, it shows two girls, in addition to the surviving boy and dog. Still, this image is not as clear as it could be.
"The Joshua Eaton Clock Tower Preservation Committee (JECTPC' formed last summer to build awareness about the ailing tower and to raise funds for its repair, in cooperation with the Town of Reading. The

group's efforts were profiled on the local 'Reading at Large' program. In addition to the broken weathervane, the clock tower suffers from leaks and drainage issues. Two of the four copper urns that once graced each corner of the tower have become damaged and detached from the tower. Most obvious is the disrepair of the clock tower's
four signature clocks The committee is engaged in an active fund drive working to raise $75,000 by June 1 to completely restore the tower
"Robert Diorio, president of Boston Welding in Woburn, and a current Joshua Eaton" parent, has stepped forward and generously donated his company's services to restore the weathervane. 'He is ready to get underway on the work, but the committee is still searching lor a beltei

Health Club scene sees a "Fundamental Shift" The emergence of one80 Sports & Fitness as the fron-
txunner in the crowded North Shore health club market comes as no surprise to current members. The 20,000 square foot facility caters to those who are looking for a more "hands on" approach to their health and nutri- tion.
"With the growing number of health clubs on the North Shore, if a facility does not bring something new to the table, they will have a rough go of it.", says owner Art McDermott. "You can provide $10.00 mem- berships and crazy hours, but if your clients don't have a customized program and some solid guidance, what does it mean? We are a results-based center. Our per- sonal training clients have realistic, attainable goals and our staffJmows how to get them there."
While one80 boasts an outstanding success rate with weight management clients, its record in recent months with Sports Performance Enhancement has been nothing short of remarkable. Director Liane Blyn, herself a current World Champion, says "We have produced an ever-increasing amount of Globe All- Scholastics, college scholarship athletes, leading scor- ers and the like because our overall approach is unlike anything available. Our staff is arguably the most Experienced in New England."
OneSO's location just off Route 93 makes it an obvi- ous choice for commuters, residents of Andover,
Wilmington as well as North Reading and surrounding towns. One80's service offerings include the recently added physical therapy services of well-known thera- pist Peter Harmeling as well as a Registered Dietician on staff. Massage Therapy and Stress Reduction Techniques are also available by appointment. With such diverse services, it seems individuals looking for a more leading-edge approach to fitness, athletic devel- opment and general health have found their answer.

Seeing Red?
It could be Rosacea Rosacea is a skin condition that primarily affects the facial skin
and eyes. It normally develops as a redness or flushing on the cheeks, nose, and forehead in those over age 30. It can progress to pimpling and visible blood vessels if left untreated. In certain cases, rosacea also may lead to excessive skin tissue buildup on the nose, called rhinophyma, which causes the nose to look large and bulbous. Approximately 14 million people in the United States have rosacea.
What Causes Rosacea? There is no known definitive cause for rosacea. However, those
who have fair skin or are prone to flushing seem to be at a higher risk for the condition. The disease is more frequently diagnosed in women, but that may be because they notice symptoms and seek treatment sooner than men.
These factors have not been well researched, but many people with rosacea claim that the following have triggered or made the condition worse: heat (including hot baths), strenuous exercise, sunlight, wind, very cold temperatures, hot or spicy foods and drinks, alcohol consumption, menopause, emotional stress, and long-term use of topical steroids on the face.
Signs to Look For If you suspect you have rosacea, here are signs that are often
present: • history of flushing or blushing • persistent facial redness that
mimics a sun or wind burn that doesn't go away • pus-filled blem- ishes that resemble pimples or acne can occur, but there will be an absence of blackheads ■ small, visible blood vessels will become more prominent • facial swelling • skin thickening, primarily on the nose • red, raised patches of skin called plaques • burning or itching of the face • irritated eyes that may appear bloodshot • signs beyond the face, including redness on the neck and chest
Depending upon symptoms, patients may be diagnosed with one of four subtypes of rosacea.
Treating the Condition There is no cure for rosacea,
but dermatologists can help manage flare-ups. Treatment is often tailored to the patient and type of rosacea that is occur- ring.
According to the National Rosacea Society, various oral and topical medications may be prescribed to treat the bumps, pimples and redness often asso- ciated with the disorder. Dermatologists usually pre- scribe initial treatment with oral antibiotics and topical therapy to bring the condition under immediate control, fol- lowed by long-term use of the topical therapy alone to main- tain remission.
Treatments with lasers, intense pulsed light sources or other medical and surgical devices may be employed to shrink or eliminate visible blood vessels. Lasers may also

When it comes to Nordic Wa four "Legs11 are better than two
For years, professional athletes and non-athletes alike hjrw relied upon cross-country siding to build stamina, muscle strengur. cardiovascular health, and improve the overall tone of the body. In the 20th century, cross-country skiing athletes in Finland develop*! an idea that could replicate the motions and benefits of cross-crtif- try skiing . without the snow. They used this form of exercise to train in the summer. Eventually an enterprising Scandinavian company marketed the idea to a broad spectrum of athletes -call- ing the exercise Nordic Walking - and a new training routine was born.
Nordic Walking, which involves the use of specially-designed poles held in each hand, quickly caught on in the fitness world, but also appealed to regular folks looking for a low-impact, but effective workout. Today, LEKI, the world's leading maker of skiing, hiking and Nordic Walking poles has teamed up with the Wacoal Sports Science Corporation, makers of CW-X Conditioning Wear, to bring Nordic Walking to people looking to enhance their walking regimen or kick-start a fitness program.
BENEFITS TO GOING NORDIC
Nordic Walking takes fitness walking to the next level by build- ing postural endurance, upper and lower body strength, and aerobic capacity. Walkers use poles to engage the upper body and redis- tribute weight bearing to the lower extremity, which increases $ cardiovascular benefits and caloric demands of walking. A st by the Cooper Institute in Dallas, showed that walking with. burned more calories, increased oxygen consumption, and can,(pt up to 46 percent more efficient than normal walking. What's more,' walking with poles as little as 30 minutes a day, three times a week, can help lower blood pressure, increase oxygen consumption byj$ percent, reduce cholesterol, and help to relieve back, shoulder £nfl neck pain. ^
Any person of any age can benefit from the health enhancing benefits of Nordic Walking. Health-care professionals say Notdiq Walking is a viable low-impact solution for those who can no lonag] take the steady pounding of running or jogging, but desire similar benefits. Even runners use Nordic Walking as a cross-training tool to develop their upper body, and also during rehab from an injury,.,
GETTING STARTED „ Qfl
Nordic Walking is quickly becoming the hottest exercise around^. But to reap the benefits, it's important to follow some key tech- niques:
• Start with the right equipment. Companies like LEKI Qi make poles that feature adjustable and fixed length models, quick- release Trigger straps, four different types of removable rub$er tips (including studded rubber), carbide tips, and aluminum and carbon construction. .fl5j
• Nordic Walking is a simple enhancement of normal arm s when walking. The pole tips remain behind, pointing diago: backwards at all times.
• Holding the grip lightly, the band swings forward'from shoulder to allow the rubber tip to meet the ground or pavemer
- The hands are opened slightly to allow the poles to swing fpr- ward - the poles are not gripped, but swing from the wrist straps.
• This exercise is best engaged wearing workout apparel that. supports the joints, ligaments and tendons, like CW-X Conditioning Wear, which also wicks moisture from the skin, keeping the body. dry and comfortable. . (%

Enjoy the benefits of advanced dental technologies
By DR. PAUL CASELLE
Tbday, millions of Americans in their quest for good health and improving their self-image have come to appreciate how an attractive smile and healthy mouth can improve their feeling of wellness for themselves and their family. Dentistry has come a long way from 1896 when the first dental x-ray was taken to now - the era of digital x-rays. Digital x-rays decrease radiation ;90% over the standard x-ray and with the ability to enhance an image for better diagnostic capa- bility. In 1953 the high-speed drill was first used to remove decay to the 21st century where lasers can gently accomplish the same task without the sound of the drill and without the need for a shot of anesthetic in most cases. The laser because of its pinpoint accuracy is beneficial to you by leaving more healthy tooth structure and providing an enhanced surface allowing for increased bond strength for longer lasting fillings.
The laser detection of cavities is especially useful in children because it allows early detection of cavities that can easily be eliminated by a laser without the need of a shot and more impor- tantly conserving tooth struc- ture.
In addition, laser treatment of soft tissue (gum) procedures can be done painlessly, with little or no bleeding with excellent results and in many cases avoid- ing the need for traditional gum surgery.
For teeth that have been discol- ored due to age, smoking and foods, tooth whitening can be the solution to lighter and brighter teeth. Over the counter products can provide an easy and quick fix for some people while for oth- ers the results can be disappoint- ing.
LaserSmile in conjunction with Xtra Boost Power Gel can pro- vide accelerated tooth whiten- ing. The gel and laser technolo- gy not only dramatically short- ens treatment time but also avoids excess heat, making this whitening method both comfort- able and safe for the patient.
In one office visit, you can have effective whitening and when there is excessive discoloration specially designed customized trays are worn for 2 or 3 days to achieve a uniform shade enhancement. This can result in very dramatic improvement however in some cases crowns* and veneers will be required to achieve the desired color. •While the desire for whiter
teeth is a prime motivator for people to seek dental care, I have found that once a brighter smile is achieved interest in other problem areas becomes a priori- ty. For many people fear of den- tal procedures has prevented some from seeking the dental care they know is needed. However once people experience the comfort and time savings that advanced technology has to offer they realize that dentistry has come a long way.
One breakthrough technology, called CEREC, allows me to quickly restore damaged
teeth with tooth colored bio- compatible ceramic material. CEREC uses CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology, incorporating a camera, comput- er and milling machine in one instrument. A special camera is used to take an accurate picture of the damaged tooth. This opti- cal impression is transferred and displayed on a color comput- er screen, where CAD technolo- gy is used to design the restora- tion. Then CAM takes over and automatically creates the restoration while the patient watts. Finally, the new restora- tion is bonded to the surface of the tooth. This new technology has over a decade of clinical research proving it to be precise and effective There is no need to create temporaries or take impressions and send them to a
lab. As a result, only one visit is required.
For people who do not wish to wear braces, Invisalign is the ultimate solution to invisibly straighten teeth that may be crowded together, too far apart, or have shifted. Upon an initial examination, and discussion of a patient's goals, impressions are submitted to Invisalign. Using the latest advances in 3-D com- puter technology, Invisalign carefully translates instructions from the doctor into a series of precisely customized aligners. The patient then wears each set of aligners for approximately two weeks, where the teeth will move gradually until the intend- ed result is reached. Patients are amazed at the results espe- cially since aligners are invisi- ble, easy to remove and comfort- able to wear unlike traditional braces.

Yoga used to be seen as an exotic and mysterious practice. Today it has become mainstream. A person with a curiosity to study yoga can find courses taught every- where from gyms, to YMCA's, to health clubs to recreation centers. Statistics say that Americans in the millions are now stu- dents of yoga. So why would someone seek out the Yoga East Center for Alternative Medicine, Yoga & Buddhist Studies located in Wakefield, MA?
Monica Veneziano, M.S. Founder and Director of Yoga East has been studying yoga and Eastern philosophy and art for over 35 years. Her yoga practice, the teach- ing of yoga, and Buddhism are her life's work. Monica opened the doors of Yoga East 15 years ago.
Many students have been consistently studying with Monica for as long as 15, 20 and even 25 years. Students keep coming back because Yoga East is a community - a spiritual community that fulfills their need to be part of a welcoming and nurturing group that is like-minded and seeking a sense of well-being. This is what makes Yoga East so special in the hearts of so
many. Students
who enter can sense that it is not a studio but a sanc- tuary and an over- whelming

sense of peace and well-being is immediate- ly felt. The studio is a Sangha. As Christopher Titmuss, author of Buddhist Wisdom for Daily Living describes it, "the word sangha means "gathering." It refers to people gathering together to explore the Dharma, practices that enlighten our life.
When you decide to study at Yoga East, you will not only learn the physical move- ments, but the importance of breathing techniques, the medical understanding of how the practice effects the body and the mind, the power of mindfulness and medi- tation, and the age-defying relaxation tech- niques. The alleviation of past negative con- ditioning of unwholesome mind states is eroded and with consistency and dedication to studying, every student finds the peace they have been searching for.
Yoga East has classes spanning many different styles of yoga to the Chinese mar- tial art of T'ai Chi and teachers are highly trained There are vigorous classes taught by Monica Veneziano, Mary Taggart for stu- dents who are seeking a challenging prac- tice. Gentler yoga classes are taught by Brenda Rancatore and Leila Tutela who carefully guide their students. A therapeu- tic class in Svaroopa Yoga is taught by Marjorie Crockett and the Yoga Mind/Body Clinic modeled after the Mind/Body Clinic at the Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital is taught by Monica Veneziano.
Children as young as two years old are introduced to yoga along with a parent in the Pre-Yoga for the Little Ones program taught by the Reverend Marianne Snow who
also teaches a series of relaxation classes for children and teens. Kripalu DansKinetics* classes are taught by Nora Smith and Carol Trecartin offering the opportunity to freely dance and enjoy your- self.
Classes are offered 7 days a week, all year round and special programs and work- shops are frequently offered on the week- ends. There is a free study group on Sunday evenings based on the documentary film "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" facilitated by our "Everyday Mystic" Alan Powell. Zeliha Ghareeb who comes from Istanbul,

The Linden Tree Coffeehouse 22nd season of acoustic music continues on Saturday, March 31 with two very funny singer-songwriters: Jay Mankita and Carla Ulbrich. Both sets will mix timely social content with their quirky irrev- erent sense of humor. On the eve of April Fool's Day, what better way to spend an evening?
Jay Mankita has been called "one of the half dozen songwrit- ers today" by Peter Seeger, and has been nationally recognized as much for his activism in social justice and the environ- ment as for his dynamic perfor- mances. Mankita has been tour- ing this year in a car running on carbon-neutral, recycled vegetable oil, collected from restaurants. With climate change, and fuel prices so much in the news today, Mankita's "Veggie Voyager" van has been getting a lot'of attention.
A fan favorite on the long running, nationally syndicate Dr. Demento show, award win- ning songwriter and Professional Smart Aleck Carla Ulbrich has been compared to the likes of Weird Al, Chet Atkias and a bologna sandwich.
The Linden Tree Coffeehouse is located in the social hall of the Unitarian- Universalist Church, 326 Main Street, Wakefield. the show begins at 8 pm, doors open at 7:30. Home baked goodies and other refreshments will be sold. Tickets are $15. For more infor- mation and reservations call 781-246-2836 DANCE TO SUPPORT MYELOMA RESEARCH

"THE ASTRONAUT FARMER" GRADE: ***
One of this reviewer's
favorite movies is "October Sky", and while "The Right Stuff" doesn't necesarily make the personal Top 10, it isn't far behind. These are inspirational movies that show us someone overcoming the odds to achieve success.
"The Astronaut Farmer," is another one of those inspi- rational movies. Though it is a notch or two below "October Sky", it has a big heart.
Suspension of disbelief is required, however, as a reali- ty check would land most of this film on the cutting room

floor. The story centers on Charlie Farmer (Billy Bob Thornton), a West Texas rancher who was a former astronaut-in-training forced to leave the space program because of a family tragedy. Charlie (he is called "Farmer" by everyone, even his wife) still has a dream to fly in space. In his barn he has assembled an Atlas booster rocket that looks like a giant coffee thermos with what appears to be a Mercury capsule on top.
Ever the dreamer, Charlie intends to launch this baby into orbit. The people in the nearby town all think Charlie is missing a few bricks in the wall. Already mortgaged to the hilt, Charlie asks the local banker for a $5(),(X>0 loan in order to purchase 10.000 lbs. of rocket fuel.
That's when the federal government steps in. In no particular order comes the FBI, CIA, FAA. and possibly Homeland Security to try to thwart this space cadet from
lifting off. Going along for the ride is
a very patient and supportive family led by Charlie's wife Audie (Virginia Madsen), who has to wait tables in the nearby diner while her hus- band wastes away their sav- ings in the pursuit of his dream.
After an unsuccessful first launch attempt that places Charlie in the hospital with multiple compound fractures, you just know this cowboy is not going to give up.
There is a great support- ing cast featuring an uncred- ited Bruce Willis as a former astronaut who tries to talk Charlie back down to earth, and Bruce Dern as the grandfather.
"The Astronaut Farmer" is a good afternoon out for the family.

"The Good Shepherd- Both films are spy tales
based on true stories. And both concentrate much more on characters than action. But the well-acted "Breach" is by far the better, more watchable of the two films.
It's better-focused than "The Good Shepherd," and its story is more interesting. The film is based on the real- life case of Robert Hanssen, a veteran FBI agent convict- ed of selling U.S. intelligence secrets to the former Soviet Union.
The role of Hanssen proves to be a great one for actor Chris Cooper.
'HANNIBAL RISING" GRADE: *
This is a film that shows how a cannibalistic serial killer is born.
"Hannibal Rising" starts in Lithuania near the end of World War II, when a boy and girl shiver in their home after having just watched their parents die.
Scavengers storm into the house and hold the children hostage, then when they
"can't find food, decide.^ murder and eat the little {friS^ Shackled in the corner ptSZg room as the horror unfalaff" stews young Hannibal Lecter, about to pull off the first of his legendary escapes.
. The new thriller follows Hannibal (Gaspard UllreH under the microscope as'he goes off on a killing spree to' avenge the death of his sis- ter, developing a taste for flesh and a refined sense of detachment along the way1. "
Webber's film reveals that Hannibal received samurai training from his long-lost aunt (Gong Li) and that the French medical school he, attended placed him. ji| charge of managing the dead bodies.
Ulliel, who oozes creepi- ness with every sideways glance, is an apt fit for the role, and it's easy to imagine him replacing Hopkins as the face of Lecter in several pre- quel-sequels.
Webber adeptly sets up gruesome set pieces that fans of the Harris novels and the movie adaptations have come to expect.
TfJWnS From S3 photograph of the original weathervane,' said Mary Richards, chair of JECTPC. 'The building is an award- winning structure, and we want to get things right,' said Richards...."
Green peace (Burlington)
"After two-and-a-half hours in which extensive information was dispensed, with resultant comments from the body being largely supportive, the outcome was not close - Town Meeting, by a roll call, voted 79-6 to approve the rezoning of Northwest Park to a Planned Development District (PDD)," notes the Burlington edition of the "Daily Times Chronicle."
"The vote means that within the next two years, the applicant, the Nordblom Co., can begin to transform 127 acres of its land into what Nordblom Vice President, Development Todd Fremont-Smith previously called 'an historic world- class, mixed use develop- ment.'
"It will be constructed according to what the com- pany believes meets the needs of the 21st century employee and shopper, according to architect David Manfredi, who helped create the design for the Nordblom Co.
"The property, once
known as Northwest Industrial Park, runs' between Middlesex Turnpike and Route 3. Development of the park started in the late 1950s and has evolved into strictly an office site.
"The proposal calls for two sections - Area A on the southern end will consist of 48 acres, Manfredi said, a combination of retail, office, hotel and residential uses. It would include shops and eight restaurants.
"Area B, Manfredi saidj encompasses 79 acres and will be 'largely office use with ancillary retail.'
"The project would be anchored by a lar^e public green with a manmade pondl
"'At the heart of it all is the green,' said Manfredi, who added it will be a five- minute walk to get there from the retail shops. Fremont-Smith has com- pared this area to Post Office Square in Boston..."

disfigurement of the nose. Oc- ular rosacea may be treated with oral antibiotics and other therapies.
Proper Skin Care In addition to treatment as
guided by a doctor, those with rosacea are urged to practice gentle skin care. This includes washing the face with a mild cleanser and blotting dry with a soft towel. Rubbing the skin should be avoided.
Cosmetics can also be used to help conceal some of the redness of rosacea. Certain products contain green tinting, which can counteract the red hues of the disease. Founda- tions and other coverups with a yellow tint can also help. Avoid pink-toned products that can exacerbate a ruddy com- plexion.

Charger from s-1 the 2006 model year. It features up graded heavy duty brakes, a severe duty cooling system, Police Performance Electronic Stability System, a police per- formance steering system and other equipment to provide safer handling in emergency situations and inclement weather.
According to the Michigan and California state police reports, "...the Charger easily outperformed all other pursuit vehicles. In acceleration, cor- nering, and braking (except the Dodge Magnum, which stopped slightly faster in some tests)."
The report goes on to state, "It does, however, appear to be
priced somewhat higher than the Ford Interceptor*."
The car is also listed as in use by the Braintree and Hull Police forces. Several states have also started to purchase the vehicle as well.
The police package can be purchased as a station wagon or as a sedan.
During the 1960's and 1970's Chrysler products were very popular with police depart- ments and with companies that had large fleets of vehicles. However, over the years Ford was able to claim the market as its own, but, it has been reported that some depart- ments started to look else- where when an alleged safety problem arose with the Ford police vehicles.
