48TH YEAR NO. 12 WEDNESDAY MARCH

Wrentham superintendent to succeed O'Donnell

BY MEDAY OULLETTE WILMINGTON - The School

Committee has unanimously chosen William McAlduff as the new superintendent of the Wilmington School System.

Currently, McAlduff is the Superintendent of the King Philip School District, which consists of the towns of Norfolk, Plainfield and Wrentham in western Massachusetts. He will'suc- ceed Wilmington Superintendent of Schools Geraldine O'Donnell when she resigns in June.

The committee made its choice official during its meet- ing on Wednesday, March 19. Lawyers on both sides are now negotiating a deal. A formal vote to officially name McAlduff as the new superin- tendent will take place during the meeting of the School Committee on Wednesday, April 23.

At first, School Committee member Barbara Breakey cast her vote for Andre Ravenelle, the interim Superintendent of the Barnstable Public School System. She later changed her

vote to favor McAlduff, so that the committee's tally could be unanimous and demonstrate full support for the incoming superintendent.

Chairman Stephen Peterson originally leaned towards Ravenelle, as well, but swayed to McAlduff.

The majority of members on the School Committee showed strong support for McAlduff.

Suzanne Duffy, in particular, called McAlduff a "clear and confident" individual who has an "obvious open door policy" with fellow staffers and stu- dents. During her visit to McAlduffs district, Duffy noticed that the students in McAlduffs charge were "relaxed."

Spring has sprung A REASON TO SMILE. Local youngster Amanda Boyle enjoyed the warm weather of early spring on the swings at Rotary Park in Wilmington on Monday, March 24.

Bv STEPHEN BJORK

WILMINGTON- Don't expect any anti-war demonstrations to tie up the traffic in Wilmington any time soon.

" An informal Town Crier poll has shown that a majority of Wilmington residents support the United States' war with Iraq, President Bush's han- dling of the situation, and, most importantly, our troops in the Persian Gulf.

In fact, a majority of those polled are convinced of a con- nection between Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and terrorist organizations, such as al-Qaeda.

L' The primary reason to go in is to disarm Saddam Hussein because I truly believe that he endorses, supports, and gives ;harbor to terrorism, which directly impacted us on September 11," says resident ikl Hardy. "I fear for my chil- dren's future."

Richard Parent, who spent time in the Persian Gulf while fighting for the United States in World War n, agreed with the president's move to disarm Hussein and continues to sup- port the operation. He is, how- ever, concerned with the tactics used by Iraq in the war.

"People in civilian clothes are smiling at our troops one minute and then shooting at them," Parent states.

Ed Boschetti is also con-

cerned with the potential level of casualties.

"I think we are going to win, but I think there is going to be a lot of casualties, which is unfortunate," Boschetti stated.

Boschetti considered himself to, be 50/50 on whether the United States had enough rea- son to invade Iraq without sup- port from the United Nations. He wasn't convinced that enough evidence had been pre- sented by the Bush Administration and feels that disarmament is not the only reason that the United States is in Iraq.

"We are not just there just for oil either," Boschetti theorizes. "I think we want to have a

Maple Meadow/ Aquifer

Strategies outlined for confronting NDMA By SHAWN P. SULLIVAN WILMINGTON

Environmental officials and town department heads addressed the public during the selectmen meeting on Monday, March 24, and explained meas- ures that have been taken in the time since a carcinogen was discovered in four inactive wells at the Maple Meadow Brook Aquifer a few weeks ago.

Last week, the' Wilmington Water Department announced that nitrosodimethylamine was discovered in preliminary tests

that had been conducted within the aquifer. The chemical, known as NDMA, is a proven carcinogen in animals, a fact that has made it considered to be a likely one in humans too.

According to Water Superintendent Michael Woods, test results have indicated that NDMA has not been found in the town's drinking water.

Stephen Johnson, the Chief of Site Management at the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), detailed for selectmen and residents the

eventual discovery of the chem- ical in the aquifer. Since 1993, Johnson has supervised the efforts made by the Olin Chemical Corporation to rid its location at 51 Eames Street of all contaminants within the ground. Johnson specializes in Tier 1A sites, which, he said, are "complex and serious haz- ardous waste sites."

According to Johnson, the DEP requested in the summer of 2000 that Olin conduct a com- prehensive sampling program, Li which all chemicals on the

Building moratorium petition submitted A second petition addresses senior housing

Bv SHAWN P. SULLIVAN

WILMINGTON - Selectman Michael McCoy took one step closer in his quest for a Special Town Meeting when he submitted petitions for a building moratorium and senior housing to his colleagues on the board on Monday night.

The other four selectmen on the board voted to accept the two petitions and deliv- er them to Town Clerk Kay Scanlon and Town Counsel Michael Newhouse for their

Elderly motorist in critical condition after crash

review. If a Special Town Meeting is declared,

McCoy is hoping that voters will address two articles as they have been outlined in his petitions.

The first article seeks to place a tempo- rary moratorium on all new construction in town that would last no longer than two years. According to McCoy, restrictions would not be placed on those in town who would want to expand upon such existing

structures as homes and businesses.

The second article seeks to secure the transfer of $3.5 million

from the town's "free cash" reserve to be used towards the design and full construc- tion of an affordable housing center for the senior citizens in the community. The arti- cle proposes that the town would own and control the center and that the Board of Selectmen will determine the rent, rules and regulations to be imposed on the inhabitants. Furthermore, the location of the center would be determined by select- men.

In order to submit a petition that calls for a special town meeting, a resident must collect 200 signatures from registered vot- ers. McCoy told selectmen that he collect-

property would be evaluated for their levels and how they relate to state standards. The results of the samplings revealed that, with the exception of sodium, there were not any chemicals on the property that exceeded available standards.

"We now know that the sam- pling that we thought was com- prehensive was not comprehen- sive enough," Johnson said. -. *

In December of 2001, Johnson directed Olin to look at all pas£ chemicals that had been gerfeK ated at the Olin site over the; years. During this proems; local environmental activist; Debbie Duggan flagged NDMA; in her research and asked the DEP if the chemical shouloSbe tested. 5%

The DEP and Olin leaned that the site had been tested for NDMA in 1990. As many as 52 samples of groundwater at the location were collected and analyzed for the chemical; It was determined that there was not a presence of the chemical in regards to the limit of ten parts per billion, which was the standard at the time. As a result, NDMA was taken off the DEP's list of Chemicals of Concern.

Nonetheless, the DEP decided, to finally test the area for NDMA. The department was

WILMINGTON - An elderly woman is in seri- ous condition after the car that she was driving accidentally hit a tree on Main Street on the morning of Wednesday, March 28.

At press time, authorities were not releasing any information regarding the nature of the

ACCIDENT. An elderly woman was listed in serious condition after her car hit a tree on Main Street in Wilmington on Wednesday morning. (Stu Neilson photo)

woman's injuries or her identity, so that her fam- ily could first be notified.

The accident occurred at near the entrance at Textron at 687 Main Street at approximately 10:40 a.m. Only the woman's car was involved.

The woman was traveling northbound away from Woburn when she crossed into the south-

bound lane and went off of the road. She struck the tree head- on.

Police would confirm that the woman sustained "serious injuries." The victim was transported by ambulance to Winchester Hospital.

Wilmington's ambulance was out on a call at the time of the accident, Wilmington police officers were assisted on the scene by an ambulance origi- nating from the Reading Fire Department.

Police are not speculating on cause of the accident, but are

engaged in an investigation.

Selectmen candidates will debate on Monday night Bv SHAWN P. 8ULLIVAM

WILMINGTON - live, from Wilmington; it's the candi- dates'debate

Such a proclamation may not have the same ring as that which opens "Saturday Night live" on TV every weekend, but it should nonetheless resonate with local voters who are won- dering where candidates for selectmen stand on such issues as development and taxes and the quality of the town's water supply.

On Monday, March 31, Wilmington Community Television (WCTV) will broad- cast live a debate between the seven candidates who will vie for the two seats that are avail-

able on the Board of Selectmen this campaign season. The forum, which will begin at 7 p.m. on channel 22, will take place at the Town Hall at 121 Glen Road.

The debate will be broken into two segments, the first of which will focus on candidates Suzanne Sullivan and Daniel Wandell, Junior, who are both competing for the one year of an unfinished term that is available on the board. The seat is currently occupied by John Forrest, who has decided not to run to complete the term that, started with Selectman Scott Garrant two years ago.

After a short break, the next segment will focus on Robert

Cain, Gerald Duggan, Karl Sagal, Frank West and Ann Yurek, who are the five candi- dates who have set their sights on the single three-year term that is up for grabs. Cain, the incumbent, has occupied the seat since the late 1970s. ;»;

The candidates will face ques- tions from a panel that will consist of members of -the press, including the Town Crien and a representative of -the League of Women Voters; Moderator James Stewart will moderate the debate. Each candidate will have an opportu- nity to make a closing state: ment.

On that day, the children learned about the various important jobs in town, (courtesy photo)

Changes made in Diabetic services WILMINGTON- Attention Dia-

betics!!! Do you know?? The Center for Medicare and

Medicaid - CMS has changed how Medicare Part B pays for Diabetic supplies.

Medicare previously allowed individuals to get diabetes sup- plies at local drug stores and re- quest Medicare B to reimburse them.

Under the new guidelines you must get your supplies at a Medi- care Participating Provider.

For Medicare Part B covered supplies, you should find out if your pharmacy or supplier partici- pates with Medicare.

If they are participating, they accept assignment. This means they must accept the Medicare approved amount as payment in full. You should only pay your 20

percent co-pay (and any remain- ing Medicare part B deductible) when you get your supplies.

If they are not participating, they do not have to accept assign- ment. This means that you pay out of pocket and you may pay more.

cluded within your quarterly pre- scription drug coverage amount.

Tips: 'Check with your HMO to see if they have a contract with a Supplier to ensure a lower cost.

ROLL OVER YOUR KEOGH

If you're no longer actively contributing to your individual Kcogh retirement plan - maybe your retired - there are a couple of good reasons to roll that money over into an IRA.

Simplest of all is thai you'll no longer have to contend with annu- al 5500 reports.

Fvcn more important is that non-spousal heirs can't stretch out their withdrawals from a one- person Kcogh over their lives. The IRS expects that the account total be emptied within a year from the death of the owner. Spouses, however, get lull rights and can roll over the proceeds into an IRA of their own. naming new beneficiaries allows them to stretch out subsequent with- drawals.

Now a new, private-letter ruling on this subject points to a possible loophole to allow non-spousal heirs to take the money out more slowly. Key: the Keogh buys a nontransferablc annuity that m;)kcs payments like an IRA.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 2(

From the Editor's Desl By Shawn P. Sullivan

Standing Eight Count by Stephen Bjork

She flagged NDMA Society tends to regard environmentalists with a certain

wariness, as though they are tree-hugging zealots who insist that the sky is falling. Perhaps it was not until Julia Roberts played Erin Brockovich in a movie that the general public began listening a bit more closely to what these folks had to say. Roberts has that effect on people.

Maybe it has everything to do with approach. When ■local environmentalists address town officials and ex- perts, they often speak with feisty confidence, obvious skepticism towards authority, and an artillery of minute factoids that leave in the dust those of us who flunked chemistry class in high school. They also speak with a passion that occasionally veers into outrage.

When activists are assured by local officials, represen- tatives of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and spokespeople from certain chemical compa- nies that there is little to worry about since much is being done, they soldier on, holding the floor at meetings for long stretches of time because they remain convinced that there is more there than meets the eye.

Sometimes, they're right. Take Wilmington resident Debbie Duggan, for example.

A year or so ago, Duggan asked the DEP if the Olin Chemical Corporation should be testing for a carcinogenic chemical named NDMA in the Maple Meadow Brook Aquifer. The last time that the area had been tested for NDMA was 1990. Results from those tests offered no indication of the chemical, so it was removed from the DEP's list of Chemicals of Concern.

Thirteen years later, NDMA is Public Enemy Number One when it comes to chemicals that have migrated from the Olin property into the Maple Meadow Brook Aquifer. The discovery of the chemical in four of the town's inactive wells has goosed the DEP into researching the history of

that carcinogen at the property and its effect on the environment and the populace.

The discovery has also prompted the DEP to give credit where credit is due. At the meeting of the Board of Selectmen on Monday, March 24, Stephen Johnson, the DEP Chief of Site Management, applauded local activists for their hard work and dedication. Specifically, Johnson singled out Duggan as the one who "flagged" NDMA and urged the DEP to test for it.

By far, local activists are not at all the only ones in the •.community who work tirele"ssly1n defense of the envvdrV ment. Town officials such as Health Board Director Greg •Erjckson and Water Superintendent Michael Woods have dedicated their careers to such causes. Both men rarely •receiv ■ the credit that they deserve for the time and energy *'iat they put into such demanding and difficult jobs.

In ter.-'s of these developments with NDMA, however, 'The Town Crier would like to join Johnson in singling ;Dug£■ n out and applauding her for urging the DEP to look closer. In flagging NDMA, she helped further the case that answers exist for the incidences of childhood cancer that have been reported in town. In doing so, Duggan proved that, with dedication, conviction and persistence, one person can truly and significantly make a difference.

With this column, I am offi- cially declaring my candidacy for a seat on the Wilmington Board of Selectmen, and I would humbly ask that you cast your vote for Stephen Bjork.

I have lived in this town with a great sense of pride for more than 28years (which, I suppose, would make it 29 years) and now it is my turn and privilege to raise a fam- ily here. While it is true that I spent a couple of years during my twenties living elsewhere, I moved back to Wilmington as soon as the charges weredropped. This town has been good to me and it is time to give something back to the community. I certainly would look forward to serving the people of Wilmington to the very best of my ability, if given the chance.

What, you may ask, does Stephen Bjork bring to the table? For one thing, I bring experience in foreign diplomacy. Recently I returned from a press trip to North Korea. While there, I was granted a private audience with Kim Jong II, the sick and twisted leader of that country. He laughs every time I describe him as 'sick and twisted.' It has become kind of an inside joke between the two of us, and he refers to me as "the capi- talist pig." Boy, we sure did .iave some laughs.

I must admit that my diplo- matic meetings with Jong were not as successful as I would have liked. I brought my own personal interpreter, who, as it turned out, was not able to speak Korean. Truth be told, he wasn't very pro- ficient in English, either, but he was very comfortable with Farsi. Farsi is a fine language, I am sure, but it was of very little help to me on my trip and, unfortu- nately, Jong had my interpreter executed.

Since Jong and I were not able to communicate with words, we were left with no other option but to call out for pizza and play Monopoly for two straight days. I'll tell you this: For someone who denounces the institution of capi- tanitn,<he#asnXhWes. He-beat- me 8 out of 10 times.

Jong's Monopoly skills aside, no other candidate for Wilmington Selectman can claim to have ex- perience in foreign diplomacy behind them.

As your duly elected Select- man, I can honestly say that I will

bring a strong set of morals and principles to the office. Oh, sure, I can be bought, but only for an extremely large sum of money. I can honestly assert that under no circumstances would my lofty ethics falter for anything less than $250,000 (in small, unmarkedbills, of course). Or m; /be for a new Porsche Boxster. I have to admit, I really do want one of those.

Aah, but i digress. I am proud of this town. I

come from Wilmington, born and hazed. I am proud to say that I attended the Wilmington public skool system and then went on to flunk out of my first attempt at college.

As my number one priority, I plan to rid Wilmington Center of the filthy, rotten muggers and the putrid petty thieves that, at present, swarm the'arer without even a smattering of fear. I, for one, sull have memories of people walking through the center after dark -ithout fear. This clean-up will hot be an easy task, I know, but it can be accomplished by instituting a state of martial law and suspending civil rights on a short-term basis. Once all the criminals are rounded up and thrashed to a pulp, I plan to re- place them with brand new, and much improved, muggers and petty thieves, at no cost to tax- payers.

This municipality, along with every other town in the Common- wealth, is facing a financial crisis the likes of which has not been seen since the Great Depression. This town needs a Selectman who will actively seek out and attract new businesses to set up opera- tions here in Wilmington. I am such a candidate. With my exten- sive background in corporate America, I have uncounted con- nections in many industries, such as bookmaking and loansharking, and I have no doubt that attrac- tive offers can be put together to entice a number of these busi- nesses to town.

This has been a long hard win- ter and tlwbudget hrsnm w* moval has been greatly depleted. As your Selectman, I promise to work hand in hand with the Town Manager to ensure that we not spend one red cent on snow re- moval between the months of May and September.

Apartment and condominium

complexes proposed under the guise of Chapter 40B is, very likely, die hottest topic for Wilmington residents, especially those in the West Street and Salem Street ar- eas, during this campaign sea- son. As your duly elected Select- man, I promise to keep inappro- priate 40B projects out of this town. I am not a small guy and I know how to handle myself. With the systematic use of intimida- tion, along with a generous por- tion of unspeakable violence, I promise to successfully dissuade developers from proposing offen- sive projects.

I am so committed to the people of Wilmington, and to the issues at hand, that I have read every page of "The Impact And Evolu- tion Of The Massachusetts Com- prehensive Permit and Zoning Appeals Act: Thirty years of Ex- perience With A State Legislature Effort To Overcome Exclusion- ary Zoning." This is a compre- hensive 49-page report detailing the effects of Chapter 40B over the last 30 years, written for the Western New England Law Re- view by Sharon Perlman Krefetz. Now, I'm not claiming to have understood all of it. Hell, I don't understand most of the title, but does that show commitment or what?

I have no doubt that I can work well with my fellow Selectmen and Town officials. As a matter of fact, I have spent a great deal of time pestering and annoying many of our fine town officials, and I am sure that through those efforts I have gained a significant level of respect from them. Ei- ther respect or revulsion; I tend to confuse those two concepts.

In addition to my promises, I am going to do something that most of the other candidates tend to shy away from. I would like to outline a series of campaign threats.

When elected, I willgo through the voting records and will then instruct the DPW to dig up the shrubs and bushes of every r$si-

■dent whwAdnot cast* Vete-for me. They may not have time to dig up every bush on each and every property, but are you really willing to take that chance?

Once in office, I will keep a running list of people who tick me off and will periodically access the town's computer system to

alter their property tax rate alo: with their excise taxes. For may just wipe out any and payments made during the last years. In fact, depending on h the computer system works, a on how badly the person gets my bad side, I may choose to; significantly alter the person's; property lines. Maybe I'll jusfc change the zoning of their prop* erty to Heavy Industrial. Yeah^ that would be fun.

With all of that being said, this] year's election is not simply about what the voters want for them? selves. No, it goes far beyonfj that, this year especially. I woul£ like to say to the voters oE Wilmington: Stop being so self isn~ and stop thinking about nothing but yourselves for once. I would; say, respectfully, what is wronj: with you freaks? There is a big£ ger issue on the table this year; Me.

To paraphrase the great Johfi F. Kennedy from his famous in- auguration speech in 1960, ask not what Stephen Bjork can do for" you. Ask what you can do fo£ Stephen Bjork.

Ift fact, an article should be subnfip ted to the warrant for the next.

As your Overlord and Supreme Leader, I promise to take goo3 care of you, my underlings. Mark my words: Those who supported me will prosper beyond their wildf est dreams, while those who op> posed me will be forced to work the overnight shift at Simard'f Roast Beef.

Support Article 18 at the annual town meeting

i _ ,—

Poem

]]. Twos the Night Before... (with apologies to Clement Moore)

Twas the night before the Board meeting and all through the town,

Only one candidate was standing, twelve were shot down. The plan for the nomination was competed with care In hopes that the town citizens would not be there.

Everyone in the audience had just settled in their seat, Hoping this meeting would not be just another repeat. Then all at once there arose such a clatter. The Chairman said their opinion did not matter.

His eyes how they were flashing; His fists on the desk were bashing. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon let everyone know they had something to dread.

More rapid than eagles, his answers they came. He shouted and called them all by name. No Frank, no George, no Anne and no Paul. Now go away, go away, go away all.

He congratulated himself for a good night's work. The audience meanwhile was going berserk. And I heard him exclaim as he adjourned the meeting that

night, :al won't give up my seat in April without a fight."

Dear Editor: I am writing to ask that

Wilmington citizens support Ar- ticle 18 at the Annual Town Meet- ing on Saturday, April 26. Article 18 seeks to fund Geolnsight to rep- resent the Town of Wilmington in studying the Chemicals of Concern (COC) in the Maple Meadow Aqui- fer (MMA). It has been a long, hard fight to get this far.

There were numerous selectmen's meetings last fall in which we held signs, fought for the right to speak, went unrecognized,

were called unruly activists and were told we would be physically ejected if we did not act more respectfully to the Board of Select- men. This has not been a pleasant sight for you to see or for us to participate in.

Once the Citizens Advisory Panel (CAP) was formed, we set about deciding what we wanted to gain. Those long involved with the environmental issues such as Kathy Barry, Debbie Duggan and Suzanne Sullivan, were heads and shoul- ders above the others of the panel leading the way. Their knowledge,

persistence and dedication are to be applauded. In fact, I have apolo- gized to them for being so late in joining the group.

When the vote was taken, only three members of the panel felt that hiring our own consultant was not necessary. They felt we could rely on current testing which the companies had done. One was a citizen member of the Wilmington Water Board and another was our Health Inspector, Greg Erickson. With the recent finding of NDMA, a carcinogen, in our water supply,

how wrong they have been pro1

to be. There is an old adage that

who controls the testing conl the results." We were not to let the self interests of hi companies surpass our own to verify the results ourselves.

Please vote for Article 18 - OJ own evaluation of the Ma Meadow Aquifer.

Betty M. Bi; Wilmingt

Rauseo has her wte Dear Editor: I would like to share with the

Tewksbury community that their vote for Keith Rauseo for School Committee would not go unnoticed. They would see that Keith stands behind his word.

I have seen Keith first hand with our children. He wants to see that each child reaches their high- est potential inside and outside of school. He has always participated at the town socials. His involve- ment has always been of high stan- dards.

He is also a wonderful coach and will throw the ball around with a child to let them know that he is interested and concerned with their development. He wants to see that children receive the best educa- tion that our town has to offer.

Stop by and meet Keith on Elec- tion Day. You will be happy that you did. Keith Rauseo for School Committee.

Pantry does not receive funding

:; George R. Allan Wilmington

Send letters to the editor to [email protected]

Dear Editor: In the past week I received sev-

eral calls asking if any of the re- quests for donations from the Greater Boston Food Bank went to Wilmington's food pantry. I said no, and looked into the matter.

Apparently a select mailing went to some Wilmington house- holds requesting funds to be used to feed people in Wilmington. I do not know who is eligible for this food, where it is distributed, or how it is distributed. I am sure the Greater Boston Food Bank has this information.

I want the peopleof Wilmington

to know that our food pantry re- ceives absolutely NO funding from any federal, state, or local agency. Wearecomptetely independent and receive ALL our donations from the residents, schools, businesses, clubs, churches and organizations located here in Wilmington.

I would like to take this oppor- tunity to thank each of those groups for their generous and continuous support of our pantry for these past 11 years.

Make Yentile Farm a cemetery Dear Editor: This letter is in regard to the

Yentile Farm. After thinking that the town was willing to put up $1 million in conjunction with $1 mil- lion that Representative Miceli had acquired from the state to pur- chase the property for open space, and knowing that the combined $2 million was rejected by the Yentile family because the property was valued for much more, I thought that if the town purchased the prop- erty for the market value, which is $3.5 million (don't get scared), it could convert the farm into some- thing that the town needs as much as it needs anything, which is a cemetery.

The town could accomplish a few things: have open space and create a source of revenue. Pres- ently, the town has no long range cemetery plans. If they do have one, it is a well guarded secret, since I work in the business and have reason to go into Wildwood Cemetery more than I would like to. All that I have heard or seen is a band-aid approach, such as con- structing lots on each side of the garage, ripping up some of the paved streets and using some of the land across Wildwood Street for lots.

The Yentile farm has at least 10 good acres of usable land. Since you can construct between 800- 1,000 lots per acre and the lots are priced at $1,000 each, that comes out to $800,000 to $1,000,000 per acre, times 10 acres. That equals $8 to $10 million. I know that the price per lot is higher than what the present price is, but I have done some homework and our present price is much lower than municipal cemeteries in surround- ing towns and private cemeteries. Using Reading for an example, their cemetery department has been mandated by the town to sup- port itself with lot prices. They charge $850 per lot, plus opening cost. One private cemetery that checked charges $1,500 per lot, plus opening costs. Knowing that Feb- ruary 7 was the deadline for sub- mitting petition articles for the annual town meeting, I thought doing nothing was not the right thing to do, so I went to the Yentile Farm and spoke to some of the family. They had no objections and then told me that there was a peti- tion being circulated to rezone the property for development for Over 55 housing.

I decided that since there was strong interest before to have the

property kept as open space, t there was a large percentage of residents who wanteddevetopi to slowdown, many of the30-sorpi thing signatures that I got that expressed that feeling. Since are going to get Over 55 housii other locations, plus 14 town hou& in Wilmington Center, I submit(j& the article and will let the voters* Town Meeting decide. _

My personal feeling is that coM verting the farm into a cemetery will create open space, pay for the, expenditure andproduce reverb for the town. (I hope someone^ doesn't think that I might kribW1

more thantowngovernment.) Sincej I am a member of the AudurjHf Society I know the property canlftf: landscaped as a bird sanctuary?' This project will also cause no straltr on any of the town resources, ffi far as I am concerned, this is'a0

classic win/win. Wl

Even though we need over ,55 housing, we also need to expand' our cemetery capacity, as uncont. fort able as it may seem to discus/ Otherwise we will have to go outpf town for services.

WNA: Where else is NDMA present? Dear Editor: As many of you are aware, the

Wobum Neighborhood Association (WNA) is not only involved with the Woburn Landfill. WNA is also involved with the Maple Meadow Landfill and the property of the Olin Chemical Corporation. Some WNA members are also members of the Community Advisory Panel in Wilmington.

The following release is one of the reasons why we are so in- volved. On March 19, 2003, the Woburn Neighborhood Association received a notice from Wilmington Town Manager Michael Caira re- garding the presence of nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in

four of the inactive wells in the Maple Meadow Brook Aquifer.

The Department of Environ- mental Protection (DEP) believes that NDMA is present in the Maple Meadow Brook Aquifer primarily as a result of historical releases of hazardous materials at the Olin Corporation site at 51 Eames Street in Wilmington. Our question, which we will ask at the next Olin meet- ing: Is NDMA also present in the EastDitchof the Oun property? As North Maple Street in Woburn, MA the DEP has stated, theEastDitch 01801 or by phone (781) 935-2438 or

of it all is that there was never any money in place to even get the prdject off the ground without go- ing to the taxpayers to totally fund another large capital project.

Oh yes, there was money from our tax surplus to pay for the ar- chitecturaldesigns.buttodaythose funds are being used to balance budgets and save jobs for the next three years or more.

I believe that it is a time for a change on a number of different issues and leadership.

A TIP FROM BERNARD'S BENCH JEWELRY PRONGS

A common misconception is that jewelry prongs are intact simply because you see metal covering the gem- stone. But prongs can flatten and thin over time. And when bumped they can easily break off. Let Bernard's Jewelers catch this ahead of time with a simple inspection, at no charge, andwhile you wait. Often the solution is an inexpensive re-tipping of the few prongs. This is a great value when compared to replac- ing a missing gemstone.

Ways to help your kids in these times of war

According to Dr. Donald MacMinnis, here are some suggestions that can help parents help deal with the issues of war with their children:

1. Discuss your children's concerns by first asking what they are hearing from peers, school and news. It's best not to fill them with feans they don't have, but also realize that concerns don't go away if we try to ignore them. If they are worried, say, "I can see you are feeling really scared. This is a hard time. I know we'll feel better whenit's over." Avoid telling them "everything will be okay." If something does happen, you'll lose their trust.

2. Help them separate imagined from realistic fears. Entertainment and real events can blend together and their imaginations can run wild. When some kids saw the twin towers falling they insisted it was a movie. Others seeing the image repeated on the news thought the event was happening over and over again. Exposure to violent video games and I movies makes it more difficult to understand the realities of war and destruction. ,

3. Don't hesitate to limit young children's exposure to the news. If they insist on watching, watch with them so that you can gauge their reactions and talk about it.

4. Watch for signs of sadness, aggression toward others, new fears that may seem unrelated to the war, or problems with making scary thoughts go away.

5. Your kids can sense how you are feeling. The greatest gift you can give them is you]- sense of well being, so handle your own stresses and emotions constructively. Share your fears with them, but do so with restraint.

6. Use this as an opportunity to teach life long social and emotional skills. Programs are available that offer kids lessons and songs to learn positive thinking, hopefulness, and prevent fearful or obsessive thoughts from overwhelming (hem.

7. Provide additional constructive outlets for children's feelings, such as drawing and writing stories and poems.

8. Allow some acting out of war play to vent frustrations, but don't let it become aggressive.

9. Find ways for your child to help others. Donate time, provide services, send letters and drawings, etc.

10. Keep normal routines and rules, and help them feel loved and safe by maintaining rituals of connection.

What exactly is NDMA? What can be done about it?

This public health statement is the summary chapter from the Toxicological Profile for n- Nitrosodimethylamine, a chemi- cal that was recently discovered in four inactive wells within the Maple Meadow Brook Aquifer in Wilmington. It is one in a series of public health statements about hazardous substances and their health effects. This information is important because this sub- stance may harm you. The ef- fects of exposure to any hazard- ous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are ex- posed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present. For more information, you may call the Agency for Toxic Substances and Diseases Regis- try (ATSDR) Information Center at 1-888-422-8737.

1.1 What is n- nitrosodimethylamine?

n-Nitrosodimethylamine is commonly known as NDMA. It is a yellow liquid which has no dis- tinct odor. It is produced in the US only for use as a research chemical. NDMA was used to make rocket fuel, but this use was stopped after unusually high lev- els of this compound were found in air, water, and soil samples collected near a rocket fuel manu- facturing plant. NDMA is, how- ever, unintentionally formeddur- ing various manufacturing pro- cesses at many industrial sites and in air, water and soil from reactions involving other chemi- cals called alkylamines. Alkylamines are both natural and man-made compounds which are found widely distributed through- out the environment.

NDMA does not persist in the environment. When NDMA is re- leased into the atmosphere, it breaks down in sunlight in a mat- ter of minutes. When released to soil surfaces, NDMA may evapo- rate into air, break down upon exposure to sunlight, or sink into deeper soil. NDMA should break down within a few months in deep soil. When NDMA is released into water, it may break down upon exposure to sunlight or break down by natural biological pro- cesses. The rate of break down in water is not known.

1.2 How might I be exposed to n-nitrosodimethylamine?

Information suggests that the

general population may be ex- posed to NDMA from a wide vari- ety of sources, including environ- mental, consumer, and occupa- tional sources. At this time, NDMA has been found in at least one out of 1177 hazardous, waste sites on theNational Priorities List (NPL) in the US. Under certain condi- tions, NDMA may be found in outdoor air, surface waters (riv- ers and lakes, for example), and soil.

The primary sources of hu- man exposure to NDMA are to- bacco smoke, chewing tobacco, diet (cured meats {particularly bacon}, beer, fish, cheese, and other food items), toiletry and cosmetic products (for example, shampoos and cleansers), inte- rior air of cars, and various other household goods, such as deter- gents and pesticides. In addition, NDMA can form in the stomach during digestion of alkylamine- cont aining foods. Alkylamines are naturally occurring compounds which are found in some drugs and in a variety of foods.

Infants may be exposed to NDMA from the use of rubber baby bottle nipples and pacifiers which may contain very small amounts of NDMA, from inges- tion of contaminated infant for- mulas, and from breast milk of some nursing mothers. Very low levels of NDMA have been found in some samples of human breast milk.

Occupational exposure may happen ina large numberof places including industries such as tan- neries, pesticide manufacturing plants, rubber and tire manufac- turing plants, alkylamine manu- facture/use industries, fish pro- cessing industries, foundries, and dye manufacturing plants. Re- searchers making or handling NDMA may also be exposed to this compound if it passes through the rubber gloves they wear dur- ing laboratory work. NDMA has been found in ground water samples, in amounts of 10 parts NDMA per billion parts of water, at one or more hazardous waste sites of the National Priori|ies List (NPL). No information is available about contamination of soil, drinking water, irrigation water, sewers, storm drains, or the human food chain with NDMA near NPL sites.

1.3 How can n- ni trosodimethy la mine enter and leave my body?

NDMA can enter the body when a person breathes air that contains NDMA or when a person eats food or drinks water con- taminated with NDMA. NDMA can also enter the body through the skin after contact with rubber articles that contain NDMA. Ex- periments in animals have shown that after being given by mouth, NDMA enters the bloodstream and goes to many organs of the body in a matter of minutes. In the liver, NDMA is broken down into other substances, most of which leave the body within 24 hours in air exhaled from the lungs and in urine, along with the NDMA that is not broken down. Little is known about what happens to NDMA that enters the body through the skin or through contaminated air. Although vapors of NDMA are broken down within minutes after exposure to sunlight, if NDMA is spilled at a waste site and evapo- rates, a person' nearby can be exposed to NDMA before it disap- pears from the air. The most imoortant and Drobablv the most harmful way of corning into con- tact with NDMA seems to be eat- ing contaminated food or drink- ing contaminated water.

1.4 How can n- nitrosodimethy lamine affect my health?

NDMA is very armful to the liver of animals and humans. People who were intentionallypoi- soned on one or several occasions with unknown levels of NDMA in beverage or food died of severe liver damage accompanied by in- ternal bleeding. Animals that ate food, drank water, or breathed air containing high levels of NDMA over a period of days or several weeks also developed se- rious, non-cancerous, liver dis- ease. When rats, mice, hamsters and other animals ate food, drank water, or breathed air containing lower levels of NDMA for periods more than several weeks, liver cancer and lung cancer as well as non-cancerous liver damage oc- curred. The high level short term and low level long-term exposures that caused non-cancerous liver damage and/or cancer in animals also usually resulted in internal bleeding and death.

Although there are no reports'' of NDMA causing cancer in Md

mans, it is reasonable to expect7

that exposure to NDMA by eat3" ing, drinking, or breathing could cause cancer in humans. Mice! that were fed NDMA duringp™* nancy had offspring that born dead or died shortly ail_ birth. However, it is not knoitfrr ;

whether NDMA could cause the"1

death of human babies who*:'' mothers are exposed during preg-'' nancy. It should be realized thatf1' exposure to NDMA does not mean' ' that any effect on health will defi:r' nitely occur. • :',

1.5 Is there a medical test to' determine whether I have been exposed to n- nitrosodimethylamine? ',c

The presence of NDMA can be. j detected in blood and urine by a ' test, but this test is not usually ' available and has not been used, • as a test for human exposure or to '' predict possible health effects.

l.fi What levels of exposure; have resulted in harmful health . effects? ., j:,

The levels of NDMA in ait.', water, or food that result in health, efforts in rvwilp are unknown , Short-term exposure of animals/, to air containing levels of 16 parts .. per million (pm) NDMA produces (

liver damage and death. Toxic ' effects of long term exposure of animals to air conteining NDMA; are unknown. Short-term or long- ' | term exposure of animals to wai. ter or food containing NDMA is,, also associated with serious el-, fects, such as liver disease and death, at levels ranging from 5 to, 50 ppm in water and 5 to 100 in , food. ,,; ,

1.7 What recommendations has the federal government made, <. to protect human health?

TheEPArecommendsthatlev-;, els in lakes and streams should be limited to 0.00069 parts of m.; nitrosodimethylamine per billion , parts of water (0.00069 ppb) to,. prevent possible health effects from drinking water or eating, fish contaminated with nT,, nifrosodimemylamine.

The EPA requires that spills;. or accidental releases of 10 pounds - or more of n- rutrosodimethylaminebe reported j to the EPA.

The federal recommendations have been updated as of July 1999, \

TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY. MARCH 26, 2003 _— -»

Ahhh... Spring at last! The grackles are back!

Some things in life are won- derfully predictable. Among them for us "birders" is the aajiual March return of several biyjs which spend their winters wfokdown south. (Maybe they acffesmarter than we are!)

bfenow spring has arrived, no mjgjgr what the calendar may

i when the great, cackling of purple grackles and

redwinged blackbirds defends on our neighborhood luge in North Wilmington. This ha&pened on Monday, March lT^and, in spite of the racket th$ make, this annual event aljpys picks up my spirits. I mentioned that the male red- wing blackbirds are back; the females show up about two we^ks later, after giving the majj'es time to stake out their territory. ..

ler seasonal "checks" l'.'tb come include the

goldfinches molting back to *mm« bright yellow (aftbther two to three weeks from now) and the evening chorus of the spring "peepers," which are , tiny tree frogs. This wefeome event begins about mid April, unless it wa?ms up quickly before thlft. As this is written,

gday, March 25,1 see sev- eral crocus and tulip shoots posting through the last rem- nants of snow. After the mind anybody numbing winter we've had, all of these spring events will' be much more welcome th;fn usual. It is a good time to beiilive!

S&aking of goldfinches, we have had an unbelievable flock of ftiem here in our yard since early winter. I have no idea why we^ave attracted so many of thelh - they swoop into the backyard several times a day, stay' for a half our, and off they goPThey take up every peg on therfeeders (over 30 pegs on several large feeders) and then overflow to the ground under th#feeders looking for "drops." I've tried to count them, and can" only estimate their num- bers as between 50 arid 60. • ■ ■' '<

from the Town Criar office called me to report seeing a dead pigeon-sized bird partially embedded in a snowbank near the Wobum Street School. He wondered if I might be able to check out his suspicion that it could be a small hawk. I drove over there and, sure enough, this bird was right there It was, indeed, a hawk, and was easily identified as a "sharpie," the nickname for the sharp shinned hawks (pictures in accompany- ing photo.) I have no idea what caused its untimely demise, but I'll speculate that it may have flown into one of the several overhead telephone lines. Sharp shinned hawks are the most common of the small hawks in eastern Massachusetts. I see

them in our yard three of four times over the course of each winter. Their prey are the small feeder birds, including finches, titmice, and juncos. We seem to be in a bit of a sharpie popula- tion irruption the last two or three years, and I invariably get calls from folks who have witnessed a kill in their yard, asking what can be done to pre- vent these intrusions. The answer is, nothing. These pred- ator birds are a normal part of nature's "Grand Scheme," hav- ing to do with population con- trols.

Here are some of the many calls I have received since late February: Joanne McNeil of Lexington St. in Wilmington sees a Carolina wren frequent- ly. (More and more of these pretty little wrens are showing up "in Massachusetts, Where' priOf t«TW^tfceyi\«ere'»lm©stp

never seen north of central Connecticut).

Gail Crosby of Shoreline Drive in Tewksbury called to ask what, if anything can be done to control the many grey squir- rels which have taken over her yard. I made the usual sugges- tion that she purchase a feeder or two advertised as "squirrel proof," although my sense is that there may be no such thing as a 100 percent "squirrel proof" feeder. I am currently testing my own system of squir- rel proof feeders in my yard, and, for three winters now, it appears to be working. Briefly, my two long tube feeders (12 stations on each) are (1) five feet above the ground, (2) nine feet out from the main trunk, and (3) covered from above by two, 16 inch metal baffles, sepa- rated by 18 inches. An occasion- al high IQ squirrel will get

around a single baffle, but, so far, at least, they cannot

successfully navigate around two well sepa- rated baffles. And yet,

as I write this, I oncede that school is .till out on this sub-

ject. Dick Wetzler (lives

on Fairmont Avenue in Wilmington) called early in March to report seeing a scar- let tanager in his yard. Dick is a veteran "birder" so I did not question this rare sighting. Scarlet tanagers, seen more frequently in central and west- ern Massachusetts than here- abouts, are migrators, and this individual tanager (see page 261 in Peterson's "Eastern Birds") was an early returnee.

Lastly, Ann Angus of Tewksbury called on March 8 to report that "her" robins were back, and that she had spotted a half dozen cedar waxwings, cleaning up some dried berries on a tree in her yard. She also saw a great blue heron walking around a small pond adjacent to her property.

A reminder - if you see an unusual bird in your yard, give ~ me a call at 978-658-5852. Maybe I can help With an ID Back

14W TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26,2003

Wilmington unites behind U.S. troops

McAlduff chosen for superintendent

foothold in the region because FROM PAGE I

of terrorism." On average, Wilmington resi-

dents polled dedicated well over an hour to viewing coverage of the war through television, newspapers, and radio, with one individual admitting to spending more than eight hours a day glued to CNN. Without exception, those who were polled presently supported President Bush's handling of the situation, even if they were not initially convinced that the nation should engage.

"1 was unsure at first, but Bush is doing as well as can be expected, and I think our troops should be supported no matter what," Robin Lagace stated.

Unconditional support of our troops was a sentiment shared by everyone polled. While sup- port for the war and support for the troops can be seen by some as very separate issues, several residents expressed frustration with anti-war protesters.

Hardy, for example, couldn't fathom how someone who is up on the events, and has been

exposed to the evidence pre- sented, could demonstrate against the war. He catego- rized the protesters as "profiles in cowardice."

Boschetti felt that Michael Moore, a film maker who won an Oscar for Best Documentary during the Academy Awards on Sunday night, went a step too far when, during his accept- ance speech, he blasted Bush on everything from the 2000 election results to his stated reasons for war. Moore was greeted with more boos than applause.

"I didn't like the guy at the Oscars opening his big mouth," Boschetti sU'ted. "That was ridiculous."

Wilmington hopes, beyond all else, that the end of this war comes quickly and that our sons and daughters and broth- ers and sisters come home safe- ly with as few casualties as pos- sible.

"We must remember what we can all do in our daily lives that can have a positive effect on peace," resident Robbin Gooding stated. "It all starts with the individual."

FROM PAGE 1

Marilyn Lamson based her vote in favor of McAlduff on the profile that was developed by Future Management, the firm that worked with the search committee, and the feedback of people who had met McAlduff and others who sought the posi- tion.

McAlduff has been superin- tendent at his current post for the past six years, a length of time that he says feel like 18 because of the three towns for which he is responsible. The Wilmington School District appealed to him because of its

challenge and proximity to his home in Lexington.

During his interview with the School Committee, McAlduff cited an effective and open staff and the meeting of state initiatives and state-driven cur- riculum changes as two exam- ples of what makes a healthy school. He also stated his sup- port for the teacher mentor program in his district.

"Building positive relation- ships is important," McAlduff noted.

During his interview with the School Committee, McCalduff named as his goals the develop-

ment of assessment tools, the communication with parents at home through email and the progress of curricula at the ele- mentary level. He stated that he sees curriculum as part of the whole Grades K-12 picture.

"A cooperative effort at every level as important," McAlduff told the School Committee.

McAlduff also told the School Committee that, if named superintendent, accountability standards and MCAS results are two things that he would seek to enhance or improve. He added that, for him, important core values can be found in

Vu",M

"consistent, constant and nonjA

est dialogue." !2BW During his interview^ c V(j

McAlduff told the committee,,,,,:,) that he was impressed with thfy use of school buildings in.,KV/ Wilmington for non-scholasticLj^j activities. He sees the use <%(|v/ public buildings for school pur^ lori poses as the strength of a com-. munity. H

According to McAMuBJ™." Wilmington is a "jewel in me, nj

rough (that is) ready to Wf

shined up." /T0*1

ed nearly 400. The submission of petitions for following articles must have at least 100 signatures. McCoy informed his col- leagues that he had acquired nearly triple that amount.

"I've gone out and received more than 450 signatures from residents in the communi- ty to call a special town meeting," McCoy stated.

Selectmen Chairman Robert Cain asked McCoy if he would consider holding back on his petitions and submitting them for the special town meeting that will likely be held this fall. McCoy answered that he pre- ferred to "go forward with it," for he believed that such an event would be as well attended as the one that was held last August. At that special meeting, voters appeared in droves to settle whether or not a new library was to be built in Wilmington.

Before the debate, selectmen tried to pin- point the date by which the meeting would need to be held. By law, the Board of Selectmen has 45 days to declare a proper- ly petitioned special town meeting. At the meeting on Monday night, the main ques- tion revolved around when the clock would officially start ticking on those 45 days.

McCoy suggested a target date of Monday, June 9, which would make 45 days from April 28, which would be the first time that the selectmen will meet after the Board of Registrars would possibly certify the petitions at its meeting two weeks ear- lier. Selectman Robert Palmer informed McCoy that June 9 would not work for him r :'.,"/ ' i • i • ' ,, i I « ...

because he would be out of state. Town Manager Michael Caira suggested

that the time table of 45 days is supposed to begin upon the submission of the petitions to selectmen. According to that scenario, selectmen would have to set the special meeting to take place by Thursday, May 8 at the latest. Town Counsel Newhouse agreed with Caira.

The Office of the Attorney General is the final authority on the legality and appro- priateness of articles passed at town meet- ings. McCoy was urged to submit docu- ments alongside his petitions to the attor- ney general for review, but he felt that he had already done enough. In fact, he maintained that he was being made to jump through more hoops than the average petitioner.

"I don't know why this is being treated any differently," McCoy stated. "This is what it is. I don't know how much more you want me to say."

Cain asked McCoy if he would withdraw his petitions if the attorney general found them inappropriate.

"I would assume that I would have no choice but to withdraw them," McCoy answered. "But I have all the confidence in the world that they're going to be accept- able."

McCoy's idea for a moratorium is a con- troversial one, so much so that it fueled much of the rancor that was apparent between him and his opponents during the election that was held last spring. Proponents of the moratorium believe that the measure would slow development down and allow the town to take stock of the

wted •oo 112 fl

■9J291 direction in which it is headed in terms of I , •> character, open space and water quality.;/ Opponents of the moratorium believe that A the restrictions would violate the rights of iiioh property owners and sap income generated' I for the town. vr.d

In other developments at the selectmen I meeting, the board voted three to two in favor of executing a new three-year ojMrJnsb tract for Town Manager Michael CairaJ ^ The contract, which Selectmen Raymond Lepore and Michael McCoy opposed,. vides Caira with a 2.5 percent raise during* the second and third years of the contract. (He will not receive a raise during the I year.) Furthermore, the contract allows for Caira to be paid what remains of hfelf three-year salary if at any point he is fired.'! (For example, if Caira were to be let go one itab year into this new contract, he would beoqoT paid his salary for the remaining two that) bfifi are reflected in the contract.) abfliw

Also at the selectmen meeting, Caiiwhcq requested that families inform the Tbwnoqsn Hall if a member of their household in/, serving in the United States Armed Forces-rev during this time of war. Those families will |< nj be presented with a Blue Star ServicerlgiH Banner that can be hung in the window of A their home, so that passersby can see thatnoi'J one of their loved ones is defending the,..; \ freedoms of this country. ,;Q

Interested families should contact Phyllis &pg Vieira, the Secretary of the Veteraw-iDqo Committee, at the Town Hall at 121 Glen arfj Road. Vieira can also be reached at 978r;fIjJG 658-3675. ,,r

Strategies outlined for confronting NDMA discovery

FROM PAGE 1 prompted to do so by a study in California that found that NDMA can be formed within water distribution systems that feature sources of nitrogen

' within them. In Wilmington's case, nitrogen has entered the town wells from the Olin site in the form of ammonia. Furthermore, NDMA is a byproduct of the chemical and plastics industries, both of which have operated at the Olin property.

"We felt that it was a good idea to take that one chemical and front-load It beyond the other chemicals we were look- ing at and do that testing," Johnson said.

Tb do that, Johnson and DEP representative Christopher Pyott first had to turn to the department's Office of Research and Standards and request that it establish a new drinking water standard to use should NDMA be found in Wilmington. Once that was established, the DEP instruct- ed Olin to test its property for NDMA in January of this year. The sampling was done last month. . On February 28, the prelimi- nary test results arrived. The DEP learned that well 87D in the aquifer had a considerable concentration of NDMA in it. According to Johnson, the n suits proved "far greater" than the samples that were taken closer to the Olin site last summer. . "This was surprising news to us," Johnson admitted.

The DEP called town officials and requested an appropriate response. Both parties agreed that t he Town Park well, which was operating at the time, should be taken off line as a precaution. Within ten days, test results showed that NDMA was not found in the Town Park

well. Alas, at four inactive wells at

Butters Row and Chestnut Street, NDMA was discovered in quantities of 32 to 166 parts per trillion. The town needed only to take action if those lev- els hit 200 parts per trillion, but Town Manager Michael Caira nonetheless ordered that the four wells remain off line indef- initely.

Johnson contacted the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), which is charged with prevent- ing the adverse affects that known hazardous substances could have on people and the environment. Johnson asked the agency if it could be a resource as the DEP, Olin and the town proceed to deal with the presence of NDMA in the community. The agency agreed.

According to Johnson, Olin has been instructed by the DEP to perform additional tests on a "fast track basis." He stated that further research is neces- sary to establish why the chem- ical is present in the aquifer to such a degree.

"We don't have complete answers for that," Johnson noted.

The validated results of the tests are expected by the end of this month.

Water Superintendent Woods also addressed the public at the selectmen meeting. He began his presentation by noting that Wilmington has had to shut down five of its nine wells.

"We are trying to make do with only four wells," Woods stated.

According to Woods, those four wells have been complete- ly cleaned, so that the most water can be drawn from them for the short term. He believes that such a cleaning will serve the town until September or October, which is when the

wells will likely start clogging again.

Upon learning about the dis- covery of NDMA, Woods met with the DEP water supply division and requested that it declare a state of emergency, which would allow the town to purchase water from neighbor- ing towns and the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (MWRA).

Woods also stated that he has spoken with the MWRA Planning Director to set the stage for Wilmington to use the authority's water. That process, which Woods called a "formality," should be complete by May.

Woods reported that his department has moved to make underground pipe connections to Woburn so that its water can be used as well. On Monday, it was his hope that such connec- tions would be in place by the end of this week.

Woods has also ordered tem- porary piping to be laid across the ground from hydrant to hydrant for a connection between the town and a supply of water that is available from Burlington.

Furthermore, there are cur- rently two existing under- ground connections that link Wilmington to available water in North Reading.

According to Woods, Woburn, Burlington and North Reading have all authorized Wilmington for the use of their water.

"Just a phone call is all it takes to do that," Woods said.

Woods said that he does not anticipate problems with the water supply until May, which is when the weather warms up and residents seek to wash their cars and tend to their lawns. He stated that he will keep mandatory watering restrictions in place to dictate on which days residents can use water for such purposes. If

FROM PAGE 1 Speaking of the League of Women Voters, the

organization will hold its own event, called "Conversations with the Candidates," on Tuesday, April 8. The meeting, which will take place at the Wilmington Methodist Church, will begin at 7 p.m. and conclude at 10 p.m. WCTV will cover the event.

Roundtable discussions during the event will allow residents to casually interact with candi- dates and grill them on where they stand on the issues. At one point during the three hours, unopposed candidates for other offices will be able to present to voters a brief biographical presentation about themselves.

Opportunities will also be made available for voters to ask questions to Michael Baker, Mark DiGiovanni and Anthony Quincy Vale, who are

will debate . . . .

all running for one of the two three-year seats that are available on the School Committee this spring.

During the final segment of "Conversations with the Candidates," selectmen candidates will be granted a moment to summarize and report to the audience what was discussed during the roundtable forum.

According to Ruth Kennedy, the Executive Director of WCTV, the March 31 debate will air repeatedly on Channel 22 during the weeks that lead to the Annual Town Election on Saturday, April 19. In addition, WCTV will also repeatedly broadcast five-minute "candidate statements," in which the hopefuls will be able to summarize their platforms to viewers.

the demand for water peaks too high, Woods maintained that a ban on the resource could.take place.

According to Woods, residents and business owners can also pitch in to mitigate the situa- tion by fixing leaks on their properties.

"You'd be amazed how much water can be lost through drips in various faucets, both inside and outside of the home, and toilets," Woods stated.

EDITOR'S NOTE. On the front page of last week's edition of the Town Crier, the headline for the top story about the dis- covery of NDMA in the four inactive wells was inaccurate in the chronology that it stated. The Town Crier regrets the error.

By JAMIE POTE Sports Editor

One of the few aspects of sports that makes it so unique is the competitive nature between the participants and the teams. If that competitive- ness is done correctly, there's a certain amount of respect for that opposing player, coach or team.

But learning that competitive nature, and respect doesn't come over night. Both the Wilmington and Tewksbury High football coaching staffs have built a solid reputation over the years of having the utmost respect for one anoth- er's program. Between the rivals of the tradition played on Thanksgiving Day Morning for the past six plus decades, the two towns have formed a very unique bond, no matter who comes home with the victory on that certain day. That bond is respect.

Both Bob Almeida and Brian Aylward would like nothing bet- ter to form that respect athletes have for one another at a young age. The two head coaches have joined together to bring the first ever Redmen/Wildcat youth football camp to be held in June at the Livingston Street complex in Tewksbury. For those several days, the coaches will stress respect, competitive- ness, fair play and of course fun, while they also teach prop- er skills to each and every indi- vidual.

"I don't think that this camp will Ujkexaway from the £>m-; petitiveness 'of ' • the Thanksgiving game," said Redmen coach Brian Aylward. "The kids on both teams know that the game is not about them, or about the team, The game is about tradition, and what it means to both towns. This camp will be good. We're going to have a lot of fun.

"It's as unique as you'll see. It promotes the sportsmanship where it matters most to the younger kids. Our main focus is to promote the game of football for both towns where kids can generate friendships they'll have for the rest of their lives. I know I have made a lot of them with the Wilmington guys - the

Stuff like this is some- thing that's great and it grows and lets you do some great things in life. It's about the his- tory. Our focus is to put togeth- er a good quality program, a camp for young kids and make it as personal as it can be with tons of coaches and current players helping out kids who live in just these two towns."

The camp will be run from June 23-26, with a raindate scheduled for June 27th. The cost is $99.00 per child. The time of the camp will be from 9 am to 2 pm through those four days. A lunch will be offered (but not required), and there's also a snack bar where the kids can purchase drinks, etc. However, the big sticking point is whom the camp is open too.

"It's for kids who'll be enter- ing grades two through eight," said Wildcat coach Bob Almeida. "Everyone is in there own age group - seven year olds won't be drilling with 13 year olds. It's a non-contact camp. The kids won't be wearing hel- mets and shoulder pads, they'll be in shorts, t-shirts and cleats. We want to develop skill at this camp and teach the kids the right way to throw, to run pat- ters, to catch the ball and so forth. We want to give the kids the confidence they need. We don't care if the kids have youth football experience or if

"fney^doh't have any experience in the game. For this camp, you don't need to be at any certain level."

Both coaches hope to get around 200 kids for the four days. Besides the two head coaches, both of their entire staffs will be on hand, as well as a handful of their current players

"That's the great thing about this camp," said Aylward. "This isn't going to be a camp where the costs goes up every year, or one that there's so many kids who don't get any attention. It's not going to be a camp that asks for mammoth amount of money so a pro player comes down to sign autographs. It's

not about that. The plan is to have a coach will eight or nine kids in the same age level work- ing together in different situa- tions, drills or games."

Aylward also said that he spoke to Tewksbury youth foot- ball President Frank Ferrelli and asked him to supply three or four of the current youth coaches in town to join in as well. That way, Aylward said all of the coaches are in sync, and both he and his staff can help the volunteer coaches or vise versa. But it seems like already everyone is together on this.

"[Aylward and I] have such respect for one another and each other's program," said Almeida. "We're pretty much the same on teaching skills and techniques and the kids get a little bit of both of our perspec- tives. You know that no one teaches a better passing game than Brian and his staff. I think this is going to be a special camp for just Wilmington and Tewksbury kids. There's going to be kids as young as seven years old and they'll be able to form friendships together for many years to come."

As for the camp itself, both coaches say it'll be run with station to station drills, teach- ing the proper way to play the game, with many games, races and just plain old fun together.

"What we are trying to preach is to teach the game of football the right way," said Almeida. "We want to give the kids the background and make sure this camp spends more time than any others on the skill develop- ment. 'There will be individual contests, a game a day whether it be tag rush, or throwing games or obstacle courses."

Added Ayhvard, "Both Bob and I are on the same page We both know what this camp is all about. The cost of 99 dollars is always going to remain - it's never going up. I'm pretty excited about it."

Squirt "A" hockey team fit to be tied The Wilmington Squirt A

Wildcats sponsored by Focaccia's Restaurant squared off with the Newburyport Squirt A team & Ristuccia in Wilmington on Friday March 21st in Valley League action.

Wilmington came out flying and demonstrated a clear and distinct advantage early. The Cat's Danny dishing scored on a breakaway early in the first period. Danny's goal gave Wilmington a 1-0 lead and his goal was assisted by Brian Hurley and Brett Kidik. The Danny Gushing show continued when he fired a missile to the top corner by a screened Newburyport goalie giving the Cat's a 2-0 lead. Danny's sec- ond goal was assisted by Bret Kidik and Chris Robertson. Newburyport then got on the board with a breakaway goal and then scored again late off a rebound to tie the game at 2- 2 after the first period. Wilmington goalie Tyler Stillings played well again and kept the Cat's in the game!

In the second period the Wilmington defense of Brendan O'Brien, Chris Robertson, Brian Hurley and Kevin Barry did a great job of limiting the skilled Newburyport forwards from penetrating the Wilmington defensive zone. The only goal in the second period was a fluke goal scored by Newburyport giving them the lead 3-2 after two periods.

Early in the third period the Wilmington forwards of Kyle Creedon, Danny Cashing, Sean Keane, Brian Fitzpatrick, Peter Leighton, Jefree Harris, Brett Kidik and Matt Larffarello kept the pressure on Newburyport and would not be denied. Wilmington tied the game when Matt Larffarello scored a big goal early in the third period tying the game at 3-3. Matt's goal was assisted by Danny Cashing and Brian Hurley. Newburyport then went ahead again 4-3 only to have the Cat's Peter Leighton even the score again at 4-4. Peter's goal was assisted by Brian Fitzpatrick and Kyle Creedon. Newburyport then scored again to take a 5-4 lead before Wilmington's Danny Cashing notched a hat trick giving the Cat's a dramatic come from behind 5-5 tie. Danny's third goal was assist- ed by Sean Keane and Jefree Harris.

The Wilmington Squirt "A" Wildcats took on previously unbeaten Winthrop on Saturday March 22nd at Hockeytown in Saugus in Dual State action.

Wilmington started with a bang as Danny Cashing contin- ued his torrid scoring pace by breaking in alone and convert- ing to put Wilmington up 1-0. Danny's goal was assisted by Sean Keane and Bret Kidik. The Wilmington defense of Chris Robertson, Kevin Barry,

Brendan O'Brien and Danny Cashing were very strong and limited Winthrop to very few quality scoring opportunities.

In the second period Winthrop did convert on a breakaway to even the score at 1-1. Wilmington goalie Tyler Stillings held the fort and the second period ended 1-1.

Early in the third period Winthrop converted on a "two on one" and went ahead 2-1. However, the Wilmington for- wards of Brian Hurley, Patrick Boudreau, Sean Keane, Bret Kidik, Brian Fitzpatrick, Peter Leighton, Jefree Harris, Kyle Creedon and Matt Larffarello kept the pressure on hoping to notch the equalizer. With a minute to go Wilmington pulled their goalie and Danny Cashing scored for the Cat's with four seconds to play sal- vaging a tie that felt like a win. The final score was 2-2 and Danny's second goal was assisted by Jefree Harris and Peter Leighton.

The Cat's squared off with Concord/Carlisle on Sunday March 23rd at Methuen High School in Dual State action.

The first period ended with neither team scoring but their was plenty of action. The Wilmington forward lines of Kyle Creedon, Patrick Boudreau, Sean Keane, Brian Fitzpatrick, Peter Leighton, Jefree Harris, Bret Kidik, Danny Cushing and Matt Larffarello clearly had the bet-

ter of scoring chances but could not convert.

Early in the second period Wilmington's Jefree Harris scored on his own rebound to put the Cat's up 1-0. Jeffs goal was assisted by Matthew Larffarello and Peter Leighton. Concord/Carlisle then scored off a scrum in front of Wilmington goalie Tyler Stillings evening the score at 1-1. Then with only a minute to go in the second period Concord/Carlisle went ahead 2- 1.

Early in the third period Concord/Carlisle converted on a "two on one" and took a com- manding 3-1 lead but the Cat's wouldn't give up. Wilmington was playing it's third game in as many days and it showed. The Cat's defense of Brian Hurley, Brendan O'Brien, Kevin Barry and Chris Robertson limited the Concord/Carlisle scoring opportunities but Wilmington had nothing left in the tank. Concord Carlisle was awarded a rare penalty shot late in the game and goalie Tyler Stillings stopped the scoring bid but thei damage was done. The final] score was 3-1 ■ Concord/Carlisle...

The Squirt "A" players and parents would like to thank Focaccia's Restaurant and their dedicated coaches who volunteer their time and expe- rience to help make a differ- ence.

Tewksbury Bantam As take three more points Perhaps saving their best for

last, the Tewksbury Bantam A team kept up their late season surge by notching a tie and a win this past week.

Wednesday's 4-4 Valley League tie against Reading saw the Redmen rally with just under two minutes remaining

in the game to salvage a point. Goal scorers were Justin O'Brien with two, John Cahalane and Jonhenry Holt. Assists were earned by Cahalane (two), Holt and defenseman Louis Iovine, Tim Dooley and Dan Mazzie (up from PeeWee A to help out)

were strong on defense as well as Iovine. Goalie C.J. Walsh held the fort in goal turning aside a flurry of would be go- ahead goals by Reading in the closing minutes.

On Thursday the team played one of its best games of the season, turning back Haverhill by a 6-1 score in the Dual State League. John Cahalane and Kevin Aguiar scored a pair apiece. Jonhenry Holt and

Anthony Moccia scored one apiece.

Playmaker Ryan Mooney dished out three assists, includ- ing a very unselfish perfect setup to Moccia to end the game. Other helpers went to Aguiar, Robert Cuzzi, Brett Little. Steve Dame played strong at the Tewksbury blue line in front of winning goalies C.J. Walsh and Billy Stuart.

TOWN CRIER ■ WEDNESDAY. MARCH 26. 2003

Iewksbury Sixth grade girls oop team takes two

lie Tewksbury Sixth Grade avel team went out in style

they won both of their imes at the Annual Shamrock urnament which was played Billerica over St. Patrick's

|^iy weekend. The girls defeat- Westford 29-19 in a game

itiday night, and the defeated i ilmington on Saturday by a

< ore of 29-15. Both Westford id Wilmington were undefeat- during the regular season,

n the first game against a termined Westford team,

ibury played a very tough efense that shut down the

ing lanes while their dom- ting rebounding usually lim-

Westford to only one shot. The combination of good pass- ftig and patience contributed to tame easy baskets as well as Several fast break hoops. 'Scoring for Tewksbury were essica Pagonis with 12 points,

DiPierro with seven, itlin DeFrancesco with four,

ghan Billings, four and . itlin MacNeil with two. Also

contributing with tough team fefense, strong rebounding and Mod passing were Michelle tavne, Mariah Messina,

Samantha Fernandez, Bianca Barboza, Casey Malone, Rachael London and Katie Day.

Saturday's game was a battle between the River Valley 6B North (Tewksbury) and 6B South (Wilmington) champi- ons. The games started off slowly for both teams, but Tewksbury finally got things rolling against the scrappy Wildcats and held an 11 to 7 half time lead. Tewksbury put together a tough, nose-to-the- grindstone defense that did not allow any easy shots.

They gathered up 46 rebounds as a team, including 11 offen- sive rebounds, which led to sec- ond shots and conversions. The girls went to the floor for every loose ball and contested every shot. Their determination and desire paid off giving them a victory on their final game of the season.

Scoring for Tewksbury were Caitlin DeFrancesco with 11 points, Danielle DiPierro with eight, Michelle Layne, Casey Malone, Caitlin MacNeil and Meaghan Billings all with two points; Jessica Pagonis, Samantha Fernandez with one

point apiece. Contributing with tough defense and strong rebounding were Mariah Messina, and Bianca Barboza. The team missed the scrappy play of Katie Day and Rachael London who were unable to play due to illness.

This season began with a group of girls who played as individuals, but through hard work and learning about team spirit and good sportsmanship, have become one smooth run- ning unit. They all played on different in-town teams against each other, but bonded on this travel team and the results are self-evident.

The coaches would like to thank each and ever girl for her dedication and hard work and for making this a very enjoyable and successful sea- son. We are very proud to be associated with you all and hope you have all enjoyed your- selves. Likewise, we would like to thank families and friends, whose support and encourage- ment allowed us to enjoy a suc- cessful season. Great job, girls!

Squirt C's take home tournament c V

The Tewksbury Squirt C's, sponsored by IRA Chrysler Jeep on Route 38, Tewksbury, traveled to a tournament at Waterville Valley March 7-9 and returned home as champi- ons. The team opened up the tournament on Friday with a disappointing 5-4 loss to Maiden. Tewksbury built a 4-2 lead with goals from Michael Walsh, Joe Samson, Allison tyoyes and Nicholas Ashley. Assisting on the goals were Kyle Murphy,, Frank Chiara and Joe Samson. Although Maiden squeaked ahead in the last minute of play Tewksbury played a strong game in front of goaltender Jimmy Barry. •»On Saturday Tewksbury took <on a previously undefeated Norwood team and dominated -We game to come out on top 3- 1.' Allison Noyes led the scoring

'With a pair of goals while Joe ■Samson added one. Nicholas 'Jtshley had two assists while S'oe Samson and Frank Chiara

(e'ach had one. tewksbury played an out- handing game with all around great fore checking and back •checking. Goaltender Jimmy Barry made some unbelievable saves to keep Norwood at bay. Defensemen Nicholas Ashley, Tyler Dempsey, Jared Doherty, (Matthew Montecalvo and Steven Simas did their jobs well ;by keeping the puck in the •offensive zone for much of the game and keeping Norwood's scoring chances to a minimum.

"PL]SO helping out their teams

with some superb play setups and "on the money" passes were Neil Dave, John DiGiorgio, Scott Middleton, Kyle Murphy, Michael Walsh and Tyler White.

Next up for the Squirt C's was a must win game against Framingham to propel them into the finals. They came through with flying colors by

^defeating Framingham neatly 3-0. A confident Jimmy Barry quickly stopped the few shots on goal that Tewksbury allowed.

This game again showed Tewksbury at their best with an all ar.ouod,1^bove..and„beyond effort by the entire team. Tewksbury's three goals were pumped in by Joe Samson, Scott Middleton and Allison Noyes. Allison also added an assist. Tyler White did his job well by chipping in two assists of his own. This game was so well played that the highlights are too numerous to list. Just let it be said that every mem- ber of this team did their own personal best.

An ecstatic Tewksbury team returned to the ice just five hours later for a rematch with the now 25-1 Norwood team. As one parent aptly put it "doesn't 25 and 2 just roll off your tongue?!" And wouldn't you know - Tewksbury beat Norwood for a second time in as many days 2-0.

This was goaltender Jimmy Barry's day to shine as he chalked up his second shutout

of the day. Jimmy deserves a lot of credit for his solid stabil- ity at backing up his team and keeping the puck out of his net. Frank Chiara and Joe Samson, who were helped out by their follow offensive teammates John DiGiorgio, Neil Dave, Scott Middleton, Allison Noyes, Kyle Murphy, Michael Walsh and Tyler White, scored Tewksbury's hard earned goals. Doing an outstanding job at the blue line were defensemen Tyler Dempsey, Steven Simas, Nicholas Ashley, Matthew Montecalvo and Jared Doherty.

Winning this tournament is such a grej^jaecowDlishment. for these kids. They worked harder than they ever have before and played as a team from the moment their skates touched the ice until the whis- tle blew to close the final game.

Both on and off the ice this team showed their parents, other teams and everyone they came into contact with how great they really are

They deserve this champi- onship and proved that by not hanging their heads after their disappointing loss to open the tournament. They rallied around each other and never let up. Each and everyone of the players on this team is a champion and the whole town should be proud to have them as their representatives. Congratulations to all the Squirt C players and coaches for a job well done.

•The Tewksbury Squirt C youth hockey association team won the Waterville, Maine hockey tourna- "ment this past weekend. The team was able to celebrate together with their medals after their 'exciting victory over Norwood, who came into the game with a 25-1 record. Congratulations goes out to the entire team, (courtesy photo).

The Tewksbury girls sixth grade basketball team won both of their games over the weekend in,. a tournament held in Billerica. They defated Westford and Wilrnington to capture the champi- . onship of the annual Shamrock tournament held over St. Patrick's Day weekend.,. Congratulations goes out to the entire team, (courtesy photo). \,

! The Tewksbury sixth grade boys basketball team has enjoyed a terrific season, (courtesy | photo), i...

j-Three more victories for sixth grade boys • j Tewksbury added more ! impressive accomplishments to i jheir ever growing hoop ! resume. With recent victories ! Over North Andover and ; Westford, jjje Redmen secured ! the Merrimack Valley regular ; season crown with a 19-3 record ; (15 conference victories in a •■'row). A playoff victory against • a highly skilled Haver hill team • has put Tewksbury in a best of ! ,ihree playoff series against ! Salem, NH. I "With only two wins separating ; the Redmen from the regular ; season title, the team put the ; pedal to the metal and domi- | nated North Andover and • Westford from start to finish.

Key baskets from Greg Kelly, Steve Feldhouse, Sean Teel and Ryan Sugrue fueled the victory over North Andover. Strong overall play from Mike Hood, Ethan Marsh and Derek Yarossi paced the team to their title clinching victory over Westford. Exhibiting the improvement the team has made, the Redmen controlled this game for the duration, while in the prior game against then shorthanded Westford was a tight struggle.

The playoff battle against Haverhill won't soon be forgot- ten, Key baskets from Steve Sherburn, Chase Bartrum and Tyler Flaherty got Tewksbury

off to a very strong start. The strong and intelligent play of Eric Medina helped foul out Haverhill's center and kept the Redmen in the ball game. Ronnie Wallace embraced the role as the floor general and dished out numerous assists. Although he didn't score much, this was Wallace's best game of the season as he handled the tough Haverhill press with ease.

The team has had a truly unforgettable season. Regardless of the playoff finals results, the team should be very proud of their efforts this year.

Pee Wee Ill's continue to battle as a team #'. The Tewksbury Pee Wee HI hockey team fought a tough battle against Reading on Monday March 3rd and came out on top thanks in large part to Katelyn Ladd,s natural hat trick! The Redmen out scored Reading 5-3 in a very close con- test. > -I • *\ 6 •«rir>rtcll

The teams were well matched, making for an excit- ing fast-paced game. The

Jtedmen offense stormed into [me Reading zone with numer- ous shots on goal, but they *couldn,t light the lamp. iBeading did the same, but Evan Walsh was there with a sensational stick save to shut them down. Jimmy Petitpas, Chris Adams, Jimmy Sullivan, and Katelyn Ladd were strut-

'fing their stuff on defense, lift- ing up sticks and knocking Reading off the puck. It was looking like a stale mate until Reading managed to break .through for a goal. The first period ended with Reading up 1-0.

The Redmen regrouped and went on the attack. At 10:41 in the second period, Katelyn

Ladd threaded the needle through three Reading players and went head on with the Reading netminder. Ladd fired a shot over the goalie.s shoul- der to tie the game. Jeff Kelly, Brett Scott, Andrew DeMaio, Matt Pelrine, Chris Fowler,

"Kevin TavaM m Cam— Degregorio, and Rolhe Jenkins were making seasoned passing plays and maneuvering the play up ice.

A goal seemed imminent; it was Katelyn Ladd skating the puck out of the Redmen zone, over the red line, picking up speed as she crossed into scor- ing position. Ladd let it rip through a small ray of sunshine between the post and the goalie.s shoulder, putting the Redmen up* 2-1.

Reading came right back with fierce skating and sharp shots on net. They were flying in on a fast breakaway threatening to tie the game but Matt Bailey made a fantastic glove save to rob them of the score Intense play continued through the remainder of the period, and Reading managed to tie the

game 2-2 at the close of the sec- ond period.

Into the third and into the penalty box! Frustration was setting in and the hard checks were coming out. The Redmen kept cool and kept the pressure on. At 8:10 in the third period, MUt Jenkins fed a perfect pass to Katelyn Ladd. Ladd blasted a shot to the top right corner over the goalie.s glove giving the Redmen the 3-2 lead, and racking up a natural hat trick!

The Redmen were on a roll, with Kevin Tavares scoring just 38 seconds later on a setup from Brett Scott and Jeff Kelly. Reading was ripping and poured on the power in desper- ate attempts to tie the game. They scored at 5:58 making it 4- 3, threatening the Redmen,s momentum as they closed the gap to a one goal game.

But the PeeWee m team knows when to reach down deep and pull out their best play against stiff competition. Rollie Jenkins gave the Redmen the two-goal advan- tage once again with 3:57 left to play by back handing a shot over the goalie,s left shoulder.

With two minutes left to play, Reading pulled their goalie for the 6 on 5 advantage Redmen penalties didn,t help and the Reading advantage grew to 6 on 4. It was all about the defense and Matt Bailey ,s bril- liant goaitending. The Redmen held off Readings advances as the final buzzer sounded. The Redmen rule with the 5-3 victo- ry over a tough Reading oppo-

2* TOWN CRIER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, 2003

Squirt "A" hockey team fit to be tied The Wilmington Squirt A

Wildcats sponsored by Pocaccia's Restaurant squared off with the Newburyport Squirt A team @ Ristuccia in Wilmington on Friday March 21st in Valley League action.

Wilmington came out flying and demonstrated a clear and distinct advantage early. The Cat's Danny dishing scored on a breakaway early in the first period. Danny's goal gave Wilmington a 1-0 lead and his goal was assisted by Brian Hurley and Brett Kidik. The Danny Cushing show continued when he fired a missile to the top corner by a screened Newburyport goalie giving the Cat's a 2-0 lead. Danny's sec- ond goal was assisted by Bret Kidik and Chris Robertson. Newburyport then got on the board with a breakaway goal and then scored again late off a rebound to tie the game at 2- 2 after the first period. Wilmington goalie Tyler Stillings played well again and kept the Cat's in the game!

In the second period the Wilmington defense of Brendan O'Brien, Chris Robertson, Brian Hurley and Kevin Barry did a great job of limiting the skilled Newburyport forwards from penetrating the Wilmington defensive zone. The only goal in the second period was a fluke goal scored by Kewburyport giving them the lead 3-2 after two periods.

Early in the third period the Wilmington forwards of Kyle Creedon, Danny Cushing, Sean Keane, Brian Fitzpatrick, Peter Leighton, Jefree Harris, Brett Kidik and Matt Larffarello kept the pressure on Newburyport and would not be denied. Wilmington tied the game when Matt Larffarello scored a big goal early in the third period tying the game at 3-3. Matt's goal was assisted by Danny Cushing and Brian Hurley. Newburyport then went ahead again 4-3 only to have the Cat's Peter Leighton even the score again at 4-4. Peter's goal was assisted by Brian Fitzpatrick and Kyle Creedon. Newburyport then scored again to take a 5-4 lead before Wilmington's Danny Cushing notched a- hat trick giving the Cat's a dramatic come from/behind 5-5 tie. Danny's third goal was assist- ed by Sean Keane and Jefree Harris.

The Wilmington Squirt "A" Wildcats took on previously unbeaten Winthrop on Saturday March 22nd at Hockeytown in Saugus in Dual State action.

Wilmington started with a bang as Danny Cushing contin- ued his torrid scoring pace by breaking in alone and convert- ing to put Wilmington up 1-0. Danny's goal was assisted by Sean Keane and Bret Kidik. The Wilmington defense of Chris Robertson, Kevin Barry,

Brendan O'Brien and Danny Cushing were very strong and limited Winthrop to very few quality scoring opportunities.

In the second period Winthrop did convert on a breakaway to even the score at 1-1. Wilmington goalie Tyler Stillings held the fort and the second period ended 1-1.

Early in the third period Winthrop converted on a "two on one" and went ahead 2-1. However, the Wilmington for- wards of Brian Hurley, Patrick Boudreau, Sean Keane, Bret Kidik, Brian Fitzpatrick, Peter Leighton, Jefree Harris, Kyle Creedon and Matt Larffarello kept the pressure on hoping to notch the equalizer. With a minute to go Wilmington pulled their goalie and Danny Cushing scored for the Cat's with four seconds to play sal- vaging a tie that felt like a win. The final score was 2-2 and Danny's second goal was assisted by Jefree Harris and Peter Leighton.

The Cat's squared off with Concord/Carlisle on Sunday March 23rd at Methuen High School in Dual State action.

The first period ended with neither team scoring but their was plenty of action. The Wilmington forward lines of Kyle Creedon, Patrick Boudreau, Sean Keane, Brian Fitzpatrick, Peter Leighton, Jefree Harris, Bret Kidik, Danny Cushing and Matt Larffarello clearly had the bet-

ter of scoring chances but could not convert.

Early in the second period Wilmington's Jefree Harris scored, on his own rebound to put the Cat's up 1-0. Jeffs goal was assisted by Matthew Larffarello and Peter Leighton. Concord/Carlisle then scored off a scrum in front of Wilmington goalie Tyler Stillings evening the score at 1-1. Then with only a minute to go in the second period Concord/Carlisle went ahead 2- 1.

Early in the third period Concord/Carlisle converted on a "two on one" and took a com- manding 3-1 lead but the Cat's wouldn't give up. Wilmington was playing it's third game in as many days and it showed. The Cat's defense of Brian Hurley, Brendan O'Brien, Kevin Barry and Chris Robertson limited the Concord/Carlisle scoring opportunities but Wilmington had nothing left in the tank. Concord Carlisle was awarded a rare penalty shot late in the game and goalie Tyler Stillings stopped the scoring bid but the, damage was done. The final, score was 3-1 Concord/Carlisle...

The Squirt "A" players and parents would like to thank Focaccia's Restaurant and their dedicated coaches who volunteer their time and expe- rience to help make a differ- ence.

Tewksbury Bantam A!s take three more points Perhaps saving their best for

last, the Tewksbury Bantam A team kept up their late season surge by notching a tie and a win this past week.

Wednesday's 4-4 Valley League tie against Reading saw the Redmen rally with just under two minutes remaining

in the game to salvage a point. Goal scorers were Justin O'Brien with two, John Cahalane and Jonhenry Holt. Assists were earned by Cahalane (two), Holt and defenseman Louis Iovine, Tim Dooley and Dan Mazzie (up from PeeWee A to help out)

REVEREND DAVID P. MAHN of Lynnfield's Messiah Lutheran Church has begun a support group for the families of those who have been called up to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has also ministered those struck by the 911 tragedy.

"Make the world go away, and get it off of my shoulders.'' Folks, that is the name of a song that was popular a few years ago.

It unfortunately is the theme song and attitude of many people today. Well, the world won't go away and you can't hide from it either. We meet it face to face as we walk or drive out of our front gates everyday.

When I walk into the news- paper office, the bank or city hall, I say, "Good morning," to everyone I meet. Almost everyone I meet returns the salutation with a cheery, "Good Morning." A very few try to spoil it all with a "What's good about it? My reply always is, "Just seeing

you makes it a good morning forme"

I remember coming home from work and presenting Kathy with a beautiful bouquet of roses. "Well it's about time that you appreciate me!" she shouted. Then she hugged and kissed me until I couldn't stand it any longer. "Don't get excited," I said, "Some idiot forgot the darn flowers on the

.bus." Many of you know, (I am

sure) what A frozen fish hand- shake feels like It's a hand that is extended reluctantly by some person as a sign of peace. Kathy came home from church Sunday morning and shouted, "I wish they would cut out that hand shaking at Mass!"

"Why"? I asked, "Don't you want to be friendly?" "Well, look here "Bozo breath," she snapped, "This kid in the pew in front of me was wiping his run- ning nose with his right hand all during Mass. He then turned and said as he shook my hand, "Peace be with yob' Lady: I'll bet he gave me his darn head cold as a gift."...

Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark - you know what you are doing, but no one else does...

My father always told me, "Chipper, love and respect your neighbors, but keep those fences up."...

Would you like to go with the Wbodchipper on a "Whale Watch?" No, we won't sail out of Newburyport or Gloucester. We will meet in front of Mickey Reardon's and WATCH, Johnny

By DOUG WOOD-BOYLE

No matter what your opin- ion of the present invasion of Iraq, one thing that has to be remembered is there are peo- ple in this country who are your neighbors and thev are sintering because oi the war.

They are the families and loved ones of those. National Guard, and Army Reservists that have been called up to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan

Reverend David P. Mahn, who does not hide his ministry behind the four walls of Lynnfield's Messiah Lutheran Church, has remembered the needs of these people and taken his ministry to them. The memories come from his previ- ous service as a National Guard Chaplain called to active duty as a part of Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

At that time he held over 40 support sessions for members of the National Guard families who were left behind.

"Currently there is no for- mal base at Fort Devens," Rev. Mahn said. "The families of regular army personnel do not have support groups. I opened the doors of the Messiah Lutheran Church to start a sup- port group." '

The importance of having this location is shown by one of the original eight families that came to the first meeting earli- er this month. The family comes from Peabody and would have to travel to Camp Edwards (Otis Air National Guard Base) on Cape Cod for the nearest support services.

That would be too far to travel" Mahn said. It is more convenient for people to come

parts of the mission is the con- fidentiality and the fact that anything said inside the session stays in the church.

"People talk about feeling alone and this provides them a way of having local people they can talk with. They can also share telephone numbers," Mahn said. This gives people who have loved ones in the mil- itary right now a safe environ- ment to talk about what is causing stress in their lives. Everything that is said in the confines of the meeting remains confidential. That is one of the ground rules."

The number of people who wish to return for a follow-up session on April 15 shows the success of the first session. Many of these people said they would bring friends with them.

Part of the problem is the federal laws that are set up to protect the families.

"Information can't be

shared under the Privacy Act," Mahn said, "so people who are alone don't know that someone in the same status may be as close as the next street over."

i~ ft t\v\f\w o I i i»»

"The concern

R^nl%« «i<tn

say, -me concern that I am seeing now is that military families are feeling less sup- port now than they did during Desert Storm."

According to Mahn part of the problem is the fewer num- ber of personnel in the armed services than during any other wars in recent history.

Mahn explained, "If you were a guy growing up in World War II and you had six buddies one would be in the military. Now you would have to knpw about 185 people to know one in the military. It makes the isola

MOVIE: -VIEW FROM THE TOP"

GRADE: • Review: This movie is one

'of the bigger wastes of talent I to hit the big screen in recent II -vmory.

Gwyneth Paitrow plays a 'woman who strives to be the best airline steward shf ;.,;. be, and is helped along tfu way by friend Christina Applegate, and funnyman Mike Myers is the instructor who teaches her the ropes.

The plotline is supposed to be a bit tongue-in-cheek, but the ideas are wasted. It's hard to make Myers unfunny, but this film successfully does just that.

Review: This movie claims 10 be an original, but it plays ike a remake of

The only way he con- vinces the doctor, played by Monica Bellucci, to come along with him is to tell her that the people in her care can escape with her. Of course, when they arrive at the extraction site, there is

FALLS" GRADE: •*

Review: At first glance, this horror movie appears to be one of those paint-by-num- bers scarefests that Hollywood chums out about six times a year these days, to lure teenage daters into the theater for a night, but this one is not without a few redeeming moments.

The story centers around a retelling of the famous

Just when you thhu you have this one figuied out there is a genuinely scary scene to make you sit up and take notice, but as a viewer you are much better off wait- ing to rent this one, rather than spend money on the top prices at the box office

MOVIE: "DAREDEVIL" GRADE: •*•

MOVIE: "OLD SCHOOL" GRADE: •**

Review: Anyone who is reluctant to leave their party days behind them as they head into their 30s will love this movie, which plays like an updated version of 'Animal House'.

Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, and Vince Vaughn play three guys who decide to create their own fraternity house in an effort to keep the good times rolling, and end up looking like fools as they try to party with the younger crowd. This is the type of comedy that usually heads into theaters in the summer months, and its appearance on the scene now helps to

warm the soul a bit during this harsh winter.

Most of the humor is of Jthrone in the hierarchy of .ihe.grossi-put, stupid trick

1 kind, but the actors also. manage to have a few gen- uinely moving jnoments along the way.

[S^thoii ifoe Ct mrns OCEANS OF FUN. LAND AHOki

by J fujilis Kissen

North Reading: What* in a name?

"He's bwa around the world, touring the depths of the ocean as the president of an environmental organiza- tion dedicated to conserving oceans and marine life," notes the "North Reading Transcript."

"When he's not teaching college students or working on his new television show, he's finding time to write books and win prestigious awards, including two Emmys.

"So who is this impressive man of many hats? He's not a Hollywood celebrity but North Reading's own Jonathan Bird.

"Bird, a well-known and respected underwater pho- tographer and cinematogra- pher, became interested in his unusual field almost by simple chance.

"While he was always interested in photography, he only learned how to scuba dive when he was short the necessary physical education credits needed to graduate from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. So, he enrolled In the certification class, to ful- fill the requirement.

"After the class, he was hooked on ocean life.

"I lost a lot of interest in surface photography and became really interested in underwater photography,' he said.

"You've seen pictures of everything above water. Underwater, there were so many things to photograph that were new and different and challenging.'

"After graduating with a degree in electrical engineer- ing, he accepted a position at Raytheon as a design engi- neer, where he worked on radar systems. • >

"Although he enjoyed the time he spent working for Raytheon, Bird says that he was constantly wondering, 'Is it possible to make a liv- ing doing what I really, real- ly like to do?' ... While he worked at Raytheon and as he completed his courses in graduate school, Bird worked

part-time presenting slide shows to elementary school children that educated them on ocean conservation and marine life in the North Atlantic,..."

Burlington: Looking ahead

"Lori Hodgson, the town's new library director, says early goals with her job include letting people know the library exists, what it has to offer, and improving over- all communication with the public,* notes the Burlington edition of the "Daily Times Chronicle.''

"So far, she adds, she is impressed with the people she is working with, saying she has plenty of avenues lo which she can turn if a prob- lem or concern arises.

"I am impressed with the support I have received from the staff and from the pub- lic,' Hodgson said recently, in a telephone interview.

"'I am adjusting very well, especially with the help of a knowledgeable staff and a very good trustees board,' Hodgson stated.

"If I have a question, such as 'What do I do about this? Or 'What do I do here?,' I know there are people I can contact. They have been very helpful and I am doing very well,' she said.

"Hodgson initially served as assistant director in Burlington, beginning this past February. She was named acting director in August, before being appoint- ed as director in November.

"Before that, Hodgson was at the Wilmington Public Library for over nine years, where she was the head of reference and adult services.

"In this position, Hodgson said she did a lot of assistant director's work which helped in preparation for'. her Burlington job.

"'Some pieces of the job (in Wilmington) were similar to what I do here,' Hodgson stated. Those include coordi- nating with the friends (of the library; such a group also exists in Burlington),

"'There was some corpo- rate stuff,' Hodgson contin- ued. 'But it was not the high- er-level stuff which I do now....'"

Burlington to Winchester Thinking past 2005

"The Northeast Solid Waste Committee (NESWC) Board of Directors announced that the NESWC Strategic Planning Committee has reached agreement with the Wheelabrator North Andover (WNA) negotiating team regarding a series of propos- als addressing refuse dispos- al services for the member communities post September 2006.

"The 23 member commu- nities currently deliver the

portion of the municipal solid waste stream remaining after source reduction, recy- cling and composting to a waste-to-energy facility located in North Andover owned and operated by WNA. Under the terms of the existing Service Agreement, which runs through September 27, 2005, the NESWC communities are paying $145 per ton this year, which is among the highest disposal fee in the country. Under the terms of die pro- posed agreements, the dis- posal fee to be paid by the communities beginning in September 2005 will be less than half the amount they currently pay.

"'The Strategic Planning Committee is pleased to pre- sent these proposals to the NESWC Board of Directors and to the 23 member com- munities. There is light at the end of the NESWC tun- nel,' said Robert Moroney, Chairman of the Board of Directors. 'These proposals represent a competitive option for the NESWC com- munities worthy of serious consideration by our mem- bers.'

Support FromS-l

lion, much more pronounced than what it iL,ed to be."

When asked about recent reports that some groups are attempting to bring back the Blue Star banner, used during World War II to identify fami- lies'-with members in the mili- tary. Mahn thought it might be

Jrtod idea. However he was keeping a final decision in reserve.

:uBlue Star banners :••• iy help the situation," Mahn said. A lot will have to do with the mood of the country within a couple of months. It may cause more stress on the families."

Mahn is well qualified to sef^e as a facilitator for the support groups. Aside from his previous experience he holds a Masters of Divinity and has served as Lutheran minister for 3b years including 25 years as a chaplain to the Massachusetts ACmy National Guard. He is also the chairperson of the Massachusetts Employee Support Group of the Guard and Reserve

This position gives him a protocol rank equal to that of a Major General and therefore accesses to information and services that might not normal- ly be available.

"I have a little more knowl- edge, than the average minis- ter, about what is going on and where we are right now," Mahn said.

Mahn also has special train- ing in pastoral counseling and serves as a director of the State Police Chaplain's Corps and the chief chaplain for the Massachusetts Corp of Police Chaplains.

If need be, Rev. Mahn calls on the members of his church to be a part of his ministry. This is the case with the pre- sent outreach program the church is now offering.

"When I brought the idea up to the congregation they were not only 100 percent behind it but I have more volunteers than I can use for the next three months," Mahn said.

The volunteers provide refreshments for the families and staff a playroom for the children that are brought to the meetings.

;This is not the first time that Mahn has called upon the support of the congregation he has served full-time over the past four years. On December 26, 2000 he was called to St. Joseph's Church in Wakefield,

where he assisted that church's pastor, Reverend Michael Steele and other ministers from the area in counseling the sur- vivors of the Edgewater Industry shooting which took place across the street from the church.

Mahn also nel^ed in provid- ing follow-up counseling to sev- eral police officers involved in the arrest of the perpetrator.

Following the 9/11 attack Mahn was immediately called to Logan International Airport where he helped to counsel the surviving family members of those people that died in the crash of two airliners that took off from Logan before being hijacked and forced to act as bombs at the World Trade Center in New York.

However, that was not his only involvement in the follow- up of the terrorist attack. He later went to New York and served for a one-week span as the chaplain \o the police, Federal Bureau ot Investigations and the Federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms personnel that were on scene during the clean-up.

As part of this duty Mahn came upon a scene at the site of the former Building Six (U.S. Customs Building) in the World Trade Center. What he saw not only amazed him but also struck a note of awe in the minds of the hardened profes- sional members of the elite New York Police Force Swat Team working there to recover the remains of their brother officers.

A beam had crashed down from the North Tower and became embedded in the rub- ble of the Customs Building. The force of the crash col- lapsed the roof of the building and compressed everything down to the six floors below ground level.

In a written description of the site, Mahn states: "In the midst of the destruction where no person could walk or reach, there stood a steel beam in the perfect dimensions of a cross.

-The beam was from the North Tower. Fused to the cross beam was a twisted piece of metal that looks JKe the shroud that Christians place on the cross from Good Friday to aster Sunday.

Here the police and fire per- sonnel came to pray. They

poured out their hearts to me, they cried and I cried. We prayed for strength.."

Mahn notes that a Christian steelworker spray painted the words "God's House" on the entrance to the building. The cross has since been removed from the rubble and is placed in a site of honor at Ground Zero.

As for the family members of military personnel, Mahn offers these words of advice to people wishing to help them.

He advises, "Listen, without interjecting your own thoughts. Everyone has his or her own feelings about war.

"These families are dealing with a lot of issues they need to talk about in a safe, non-judg- mental environment."

He adds, "Think before you speak."

According to Mahn false information, no matter how innocently passed along, can cause a tremendous amount of unneeded stress on the families of military members.

He also notes that anyone offering to help a person keep that promise. The family mem- bers are facing isolation and do not need to face a broken promise to care for the kids or to do some shopping if needed.

The support group is open to all people who have loved one in the military and the next meeting will be on April 13 with another meeting sched- uled for May. For more infor- mation call (781) 334-4111 or look up the church's website at www.mlcspirit.org.

colon cancer, and 57,100 will die. March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, and the American Cancer Society wants the public to know that colon cancer doesn't have to be so deadly. While many Americans resist the idea of getting screened for the dis- ease, reliable testing options currently exist to find and remove precancerous colon polyps before they develop into a serious health problem - if only people would get tested

"Colon cancer testing can actually prevent the disease from occurring," said Mary A. Simmonds, MD, FA, CP, nation- al volunteer president of the American Cancer Society. "We could see a huge improvement in colon cancer prevention and survival if all people 50 and older, plus those at increased risk, would talk with their doc- tors and get tested."

Preventing colon cancer altogether through testing is the ideal outcome, but early detection of the disease also yields important health bene- fits. Nationally, people whose colon cancers are found at an early stage through testing have five-year survival rates of 90 percent. However, only 37 percent of colon cancers are detected in the earliest stages. Of those whose cancers are found at a late stage, the five- year survival rate is less than 10 percent.

"With colon cancer testing, we can see parallels with where pap testing was 50 years ago," said Durado D. Brooks, MD, MPH, director of colon cancer programs at the American Cancer Society's National Home Office. "Once Pap testing became widely dis-

"Stoneham's entrance age for Kindergarten and first grade will remain as is, according to the School Committee," notes the "Stoneham Independent."

"Stoneham resident Paul Censullo had approached the board requesting a change in the existing entrance policy to allow for flexibility and parental input.

"Currently, Stoneham's policy mirrors 245 other Massachusetts school dis- tricts in requiring that in order to enter Kindergarten, a child must turn five by gltyS August 31. Incoming first graders must be six by tha' date. Over the dozen or so years this policy has been in place, an occasional parent has challenged it by request- ing an early entrance to Kindergarten or first grade for his or her child. Routinely, these requests have been turned down.

"Specifically, Censullo pro- posed an exception period between September 1 and October 15 whereby a child whose birthday falls within this 45 day period be consid- ered for admittance with input from parents or guardians.

"'This policy would recog- nize that children learn at different rates academically

and emotionally,' Censullo told the committee last month. Discussion ensued along with review of docu- ments provided by Censullo to support his position.

"But Superintendent Dr. Joseph Connelly reiterated that he would not be in favor of changing the policy.

"'Basically, at this point, the principals, Mr. Casey (Assistant Superintendent Dr. Joseph Casey), and I feel that the current policy is working very well and we hesitate to recommend changing it...."

Clooney makes his directori- al debut, and appears onscreen, in this strange story.

Sam Rockwell stars as Chuck Barris, the television programming mind behind such hits The Dating Game and The Gong Show, who in his autobiography claimed to also be a hitman for the CIA during his hours away from the gameshows.

Wilmington's North Intermediate School's Dads' Group was recently formed as a result of Principal Michele Nortonen's invita- tion to dads to become more involved in the school lives of their children.

"Approximately a dozen guys snowed up for the first meeting in November, and from there it just grew," says Nortonen.

Their first function, a sledding party, was planned for the Wednesday of school vacation week at the Woburn Street School, "where the hills are the best!" Also, on the menu were hamburgers and hot dogs, on the grill.

In the spring, the dads plan to construct picnic tables so teachers at the North can take their classes outside for poetry readings, literature circles, etc.

Committee members include Brendan Doherty, Eric Johnson, Mike Russo, Stan Dancewicz, Bill Mara, Mike Paquette, and Nortonen.

"Lab safety is a joint effort of teachers and stu- dents at Woburn High; Science Department Chairman. Scott Blake told the School Committee at its recent meeting," notes the Woburn edition of the "Daily Times Chronicle."

"The staff has been attending annual seminars sponsored by Flinn Scientific, a science supply company, to review safety topics, Blake said, and, at their regular monthly department meet- ings talk about different safe- ty issues, such as proper chemical labeling and spill control, whether there is ade- quate supervision and equip- ment, how to reinforce the safety message with stu- dents, etc

"On the other side, Blake said, the school has students read and sign a safety con- tract, which must also be signed by their parents.

"The contract covers gen- eral guidelines such as foil-.' lowing all-written and verbal instructions carefully, not working alone, performing' only those experiments; « authorized by the teacher; 5 knowing what to do if there I is a-fire drill, etc.

"It also covers more sp& I cific issues such as proper * clothing and protective eye-. wear (for example, no dart-: gling jewelry or baggy clothe ing could be a hazard); whajt to do in case of accident or injury; proper chemical han- dling; proper handling fop glassware and equipment and heating techniques to reduce injury potential...." .-

Jackie says "Thanks for straightening my teeth so quickly."

With some homes, the name is tacked on as an after thought. Not so, the Vista This home was designed for maxi- mum appreciation of a view - hilltop, river bank, lakeside, ocean, or what have you.

Every major room is rimmed with windows facing the rear. And to enhance the viewing possibilities, a wide railed deck spans the entire back of the dwelling, adding extensive outdoor living space.

A vaulted, hexagonal great room, windowed on three sides, is at the core Two sets of slid- ing glass doors in the center section provide deck access and allow cooling breezes for air circulation in summer.

When the weather turns gray and cloudy, you can kindle a fire in the fireplace and watch the flames.

The kitchen is large, wiUi plenty of counter and cupboard space. Two or more cooks can work together in this kitchen, without getting in each other's way. Standing at the kitchen sink, or in front of the stove, you can gaze across the great room for full enjoyment of the panoramic view. Washer and dryer are close at hand, in an angled utility room equipped with a sink.

The master suite is well-iso- lated from the secondary bed- rooms and boasts its own fire- place and sitting area. Other

luxuries include a nuge warn-m closet and a private bathroom, with twin lavs, spa tub, over sized shower and separately, enclosed water closet. Glass^' blocks over the tub provide nat- ural illumination. l'°

The Vista's other two bed- rooms share a bathroom. One of the rooms is larger than the other and has a walk-in closet.

For a review plan, including scaled floor plans, elevations, section and artist's conception, send $25 to Associated Designs, 1100 Jacobs Dr., Eugene, (jft 97402. Please specify the VisjS

10-154 and include a return address. A catalog featuring over 350 plans is available for • $15. For more information, call (800) 634-0123 or visit www.associateddesigns.com.

Tiller FromS-7 Most power tillers are sim-

ply too big for backyard gar- dens and too bulky too maneu- ver. (Not to mention the fact that they can cost a fortune and take up lots of space) But a lightweight tiller is perfect for tilling under old growth, preparing soil for cultivation, and weeding in all kinds of gar- dens, large and small.

The original small tiller, with more than 1,00,000 sold worldwide, is the Mantis Tiller/Cultivator. The "20-pound wonder" is easy to handle and use. Its unique patented dig-

ly till all types of soil - includ- ing sod and even hard, com- pacted clay.

The convenient nine-inch tine width is perfect for culti- vating around shrubs and between garden rows. Remove the tilling cultivating tines and the powerful commercial-grade Mantis engine can be used with optional attachments such as a border edger, furrower, crevice cleaner, lawn aerator, lawn dethatcher and plow. The Mantis engine can easily be removed for use with an option- al hedge trimmer attachment, too.

Because it' so lightweight, the Mantis Tiller is easy to carry from job to job through- out your yard. When the work is done, the handles fold down for compact storage and make it easy to transport the mantis Tiller in a car trunk.

The Mantis Tiller is avail- able directly from Mantis or

from more than 3,000 lawn and garden dealers nationwide

For more information call 1- 800-3664268, Dept. MT5904; or visit the mantis Web site at www.mantisgardentools.com
