Priorities: Community Policing,
Drug Unit, Union Relations
Keenan Sworn In
As New Police Chief
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Police Chief Paul Keenan,
50, took the oath of office as
Quincy 's 17th pohce chief
Tuesday during a mid-mom-
ing ceremony in City Hall.
Keenan told The Sun af-
ter the ceremony that he
planned to meet with the pa-
trol officers' union on
Wednesday, his first full day
oq thfijob. He hopes to estab-
lish common ground with the
members, have an airing of
department needs, and set an
agenda with the union.
Keenan succeeds Chief
Robert Crowley whose last
year was marred by fierce
controversy between the
department' s command staff
and the patrol officers' union.
On several occasions, each
side filed court complaints
and legal actions against the
other.
SHERIFF Michael Bellotti
praised the work of the
selection committee.
"We are a well-disciplined
department. I don't see any
major discipline on the hori-
zon," Keenan said, stating
that Crowley was "the right
person at the right time."
However, Keenan said he
would inject his own ap-
proach into union issues..
As for the department's
conmiand staff, Keenan said
that he does not plan any
sweeping changes but there
will be several shifts at the
top level.
One of Keenan' s first
goals is to "get a handle on
the budget." He noted that
the department's 2009 bud-
get was cut by two per cent
during the spring budget re-
view.
As for the department's
approach to crime, he cited
issues with drugs and the
importance of community
pohcing.
"One of my priorities will
be the drug unit," said
Keenan, adding that he does
not beheve Quincy' s drug
problem is worse than other

City Halts Use Of
Billboard 'Til New Hearing
By TOM HENSHAW
Director of Inspectional
Services Jay Duca has or-
dered a new hearing into the
controversial siting of an 82-
foot electronic billboard
overhanging the Southeast
Expressway from 315
Willard St., West Quincy.
Duca ruled that Media
Vision, Inc., did not receive
two of the required variances
fi'om the building code when
the Zoning Board of Appeals
approved the placement in
June, 2007.
"Therefore, you must
cease and desist the use of
the billboard forthwith, until
you receive a favorable de-
cision from the Zoning
Board of Appeals," said
Duca in a letter to Jonathan
Serra, president of Media
Vision.
No date was set for the
new hearing.
The land on which the
billboard is located is owned
by Biondi's Service Center
but leased for 25 years to the
New York firm of Boston
Outdoor Ventures and
handled locally by Media
Vision of Revere.
Duca was acting on an
appeal from Thomas M.
Maloney Jr. of Maloney
Capitol Company, whose at-
torney, Matthew Lawlor,
questioned that "the bill-
board really has obtained all
of the zoning rebef it needs."
Duca found that the bill-
board also needed zoning
relief under state and city
regulations governing the
alteration of non-conforming
structures, that is, the addi-
tion of the billboard to the
property.
Mayor Thomas P. Koch
lauded Duca's decision to
rehear the matter.
"When we took office,"
he said, "I was deeply
troubled by the permitting of
this project and our admin-
istration is pursuing every
avenue to correct any mis-
takes made previously.
'This process will also
help us ensure that some-
thing like this never happens
again."
Meanwhile, Bi(Hidi's Ser-
vice Center sought a restrain-
ing order against Mike

Senate Bill Would Adjust
State Health Care Funding
The State Senate has ap-
proved a bill that would
phase in long overdue rate
adjustments for human ser-
vice providers who contract
with the state to deliver ser-
vices to the elderly and the
disabled.
"Human service provid-
ers have gone far too long
without a rate adjustment,"
said Sen. Michs^l Morrissey.
State funding for the system
has remained relatively stag-
nant during the last 20 years
in spite of rapidly increasing
operating costs and a grow-
ing population of people who
need services."
The bill requires the Di-
vision of Health Care and
Policy to establish a predict-
able and adequate rate-set-
ting schedule that will help
provider mitigate operating
costs and retain employees.
It now goes to the House
for consideration.

New Recycling
Program Underway
Single Stream recycling
is now underway in Quincy
as well as in the towns of
Braintree and Weymouth,
DPW Commissioner
Lawrence Prendeville re-
minds residents the new re-
cycling program is part of the
tri-town collaborative effort
between Quincy, Weymouth
and Braintree. The partner-
ship was formed in a suc-
cessful attempt to fmd the
best pricing for curbside col-
lection of trash and recy-
cling. The Single Stream re-
cycling system adds to these
savings by increasing recy-
chng and decreasing solid
waste.
A packet explaining
Single Stream recycling
along with a recycling
sticker were mailed to every
household in Quincy last
week. To begin Single
Stream recycling simply
place a Single Stream recy-
cling sticker on an existing
barrels. The larger barrel ac-
conunodates more material
making it easier to recycle
more items. Now you can put
your paper, plastic, metal and
glass all together in one con-
tainer, hence the term. Single
Stream. No more separation
is necessary by the resident
or by curbside collector, sav-
ing time and money. All
separation is done at the ma-
terial recovery plant in Avon,
which is operated by Recycle
America.
Those who prefer, can
still use their existing blue
recycling bin. Single Stream
recychng stickers are avail-
able at the DPW at 55 Sea
Street. They can also be
mailed to residents by call-
ing 617-376-1953 or by e-
mailing
recyclequincy@ciiiuincyjna.us.
The following is a list of
material that may be re-
cycled under Single Stream.
• All paper, not contami-
nated by food
• All colored paper
(staples, paper clips
OK), paperboard (cereal
boxes, shoe boxes
• Newspapers, magazines,
catalogs, telephone
books, soft cover books,
paperback books, junk
mail, envelopes of all
types, cardboard, brown
paper bags
• Plastic bottles and con-
tainers named 1-7, soda.

Senate Bill Would Promote
Energy Efficiency Reform
The State Senate has ap-
proved the Green Communi-
ties Act, a sweeping energy
reform package that focuses
on developing energy effi-
ciency and renew able en-
ergy sources across the Com-
monwealth.
"It is becoming increas-
ingly evident that we must
take the necessary steps of
moving ourselves toward
greater energy indepen-
dence," said Sen. Michael
Morrissey, Senate chair of
the Joint Committee on En-
ergy.
"This bill provides vari-
ous incentive and assistance
for new renewable energy
development and continued
support of our existing re-
newable and alternative en-
ergy facilities and pro-
grams.
The legislation directs the
Department of Energy Re-
sources to establish a green
communities program under
which cities and towns can
use state grants and loans to
finance energy improve-
ments.
The bill awaits final ap-
proval by the House.

No Paper Ballots Here
SHEA
It will be back to paper ballots iii many states this
Presidential election.
But not here,
Punch-card ballots aren*t coming back either.
"No way," says City Clerk Joseph Shea. "They
won't be back."
The controversial punch card
voting in Florida in 2000 led many
states to turn to electronic touch-
screen voting systems.
But after malfunctions in
equipment in the 2004 and 2006
el^tions a good many of those states
are returning to paper ballots this fall.
Those famed (or) infamous hanging chads and
questionable dents on the punch card ballots in 2000 led
to a recoimt which gave Bush the Electoral College
votes to win the Presidency over Al Gore.
Just the mention of paper ballots is enough to make
Shea shudder.
He remembers those election nights when it wasn't
unusual for a precinct or two to straggle in at 8 or 9 a.m.
the following morning.
Nowadays with the opti-screen system the official
results are usually known by 8:30 or 9
p.m.
Shea' s predecessor, John Gillis, and
then Mayor Frank McCauley took
Quincy out of the dark age of paper
ballots.
Gillis, for years, had been trying to
get rid of the paper ballots that were
counted by hand and could easily be miscounted.
The famed Walter Hannon- Joseph LaRaia mayoral
recoimt of 1 975 still
stands as a prime
example of what
could go wrong.
The results that
election night
showed that
Hannon had
squeaked out a third term by a 134- vote margin over
LaRaia.
A later recount, however, gave LaRaia the mayor's
office by 483 votes.
The paper ballots were counted in blocks of 50 votes;
six of which were counted as Hannon' s but the recount
showed they were actually LaRaia' s.
That touched off "trying to steal the election" claims.
But a court inquest called by Atty. General Frank
Bellotti and Dist. Atty. William E)elahunt foimd human
error in the election coimting but no evidence of
wrongdoing.
McCAULEY
GiUis tried to get money into his budget for machines.
But it wasn't until 1985 when Frank McCauley was
mayor and GilUs tried again.
McCauley, who was tight-fisted
with a municipal buck, surprised City
Hall when he said '*yes."
But it wasn't for machines. It was
the punch card system, which wasn't
as cumbersome and expensive as
machines. The McCauley touch.
At that time, it was a big step forward.
"It speeded up the whole process," recalls McCauley.
"And cut election costs. I thought it was well worth the
investment."
In 1996 with an okay from Mayor James Sheets,
Shea took a second major election
step forward, introducing the opti-
scan system in use today, making vote
tabulating quicker and more accurate.
No hand counting mistakes. No
hanging chads or dimpled ballots.
"It's been a good system," Shea
says. "And I would like to update it in
SHEETS
GILLIS

LaRALi
a few years."
Q
BESIDES PAPER BALLOTS, there's one other
thing Shea hopes never to see: the Plan E system of
voting.
Quincy operated imder Plan E from 1950 to 1957
with a city manager as the chief executive.
Instead of today's nine councillors (six ward, three
at-large) there were seven councillors all at-large and
six school committee members.
It sometimes took all week before you knew who
was elected.
The method of voting was by proportional
representation with voters making their choice in
numerical order.
In the first Plan E election there were 59 candidates
for the seven council seats and 15 for the six school
committee.
By the PR method, voters could, if they wanted to,
vote for all 59 council candidates and all 15 school
conmiittee candidates by numbering their preferences
1 to 59 and 1 to 15.
The city council results weren't completed until six
days after the election. Then the school conmiittee
tabulating began, taking two days to complete.
When Quincy returned to Plan A in 1957, Amelio
Delia Chiesa was elected mayor, defeating Laurence
Curtin.
Those results were known that election night.
Paper ballots and PR voting are both a thin^ of the
past. But not missed.

Water Tower and Abigail Adams Cairn.
Quincy. Mass.
^ Quincy' s
Yesterdays
TfflS OLD POSTCARD is a 1915 view of the old water
standpipe that was next to the Abigail Cairn on the top
of Penn^s HiU in South Quincy. A climb up the spiral
stairway to the observation platform at the top of this
water tank provided spectacular views of the entire
Boston area and the Blue Hills. Built hi the 1800's by
the privately owned Quincy Water Company, this 60-
foot high tank held over 400,000 gallons of water. The
water was pumped up here from the old Quincy Reser-
voir, also known as Braintree Dam, through Ihe
company's pumping station on Penn Street By 1900
the water company had been taken over by the city and
it became the Quincy Water Department The city then
began buying its water from the newly formed Metro-
politan Water Commission. The standpipe was demol-
ished several years ago and today trees and houses block
views from the Cairn. To contact Tom Gal\4n, e-mail

21st Century Delegates To Debate
Vote On Declaration Of Independence
Visitors to the Adams Na-
tional Historical Park on this
year's Fourth of July can be
transformed into delegates to
a special meeting of the Con-
tinental Congress to debate
and pass the Declaratidh of
Independence.
President John Hancock
will wield the gavel as del-
egates from the 13 United
Colonies argue, sometimes
heatedly, over the necessity
and nature of such a decla-
ration that will decide the
fate of a nation.
There will be two ses-
sions of the Congress on Fri-
day, July 4, the first at 12
noon and the second at 3
p.m. in "Independence Hall,"
recreated in the Carriage
House at the Old House,
Adams National Historical
Park, 135 Adams St
After the debate, each
21st century delegate will
afQx his or her name to the
document, ring the Liberty
Bell, receive a copy of the
Declaration of Independence
as a memorial to his or her
efforts and savor the victory
by munching on a Liberty
Cookie.
The Middlesex County 4-
H Fife and Drum Corps will
herald the official reading of
the declaration to the as-
sembled patriots.
Later, on the evening of
the Fourth, visitors are in-
vited to join John and Abigail
Adams (Sam Goodyear and
Abigail Schulman) and Tho-
mas Jefferson (Bill Barker)
as they present Jefferson &
Adams: A Stage Play, the
story of the turbulent friend-
ship between two Founding
Fadiers.
Excerpts from their letters
exchanged over 50 years are
woven into a script full of
rich, poignant and prophetic
language, a heart-felt dia-
logue that communicates the
spirit of the times and the
pivotal events that shaped
the history of America and
defmed its character.
The play will be pre-
sented in the theater tent at
the Old House at 7 p.m. and
is free and open to the pub-
lic. Limited seating is pro-
vided in the theater so visi-
tors are urged to bring their
own lawn chairs. Limited
street parking is also avail-
able.

City Councillor John Keenan
is, then he is a great addition
to the department.
But Chief Keenan has to
fill the shoes of Chief
Crowley and that will be
very tough. Chief Crowley
did step- on some toes, but I
believe he made the police
force more accountable and
more professional.
I hope new Chief Keenan
works with the police union,
but not be soft with it. The
police department and pohce
union work for the citizens
and residents of Quincy. We
pay their salaries and we
want the best of their abih-

Boom Times Seen
For Building Trades
By FRANK McCAULEY
Clarence Burgin, president of the Quincy Savings Bank,
predicted that with rental of homes gradually rising to a point
where they will be sufficient to bring
a rair return of real estate, new
construction will soon start and that
the building trades will boom.
He said that "those who wish to
build but who are waiting for lower
building and material costs are due
for almost certain disappointment. Real estate is moving
toward higher rentals which will soon make it possible to
again enjoy an adequate return on real estate investment."
COMMITTEE NAMED TO OBTAIN DATA
ON PROPOSED PARKING AREA
Councillor Roy A. Means appointed a committee of
residents to obtain specific data on the proposed Quincy
Center parking lot. The committee included Frank Remick,
owner of Remick's Department Store, Hancock St., Quincy,
chairman; Harry Kerr, Ward Two Councillor John W. Savage,
Judge James A. Mulhall and Henry J. Hickey. The committee
was authorized to contact the owners of the proposed parking
area between Hancock Street and the railroad, ascertain their
lowest cash price, determine the cost of improvements,
estimate the number of cars it might accommodate and also
to investigate the possibilities of raising revenue through the
sale of filling station concessions, parking charges and the
like. (Editor's note: This area would eventually become the
Charles A. Ross Parking Area, named after Charles A. Ross
who was the city's mayor during its construction period.)

Two South Shore Physicians
Awarded Quincy Medical Center's
Frederick C. Dolgin, MD, Award
Cpl. Durkin Death Ruled
A Suicide By Army Probe
Quincy Medical Center
(QMC) recently presented
the 2008 Frederick C.
Dolgin, MD, Award to Rob-
ert A. DiTullio, MD, of
Cohasset, and William
Frates, MD, of Hingham.
The Dolgin Award is pre-
sented annually to a QMC
physician, clinician or staff
person in recognition of ex-
ceptional service and a life-
long commitment to improv-
ing the health of the commu-
nity.
DiTullio, a surgeon and
former chief of Surgery, has
served on the QMC medical
staff since 1962.
Frate?s, a former QMC
Chief of Radiology, retired in
1994 after 27 years of ser-
vice.
Presenting Dr. DiTullio
with his award, Thomas
Fitzgerald, MD, Chief of
Medicine at Quincy Medical
Center, said: "Bob is a mod-
est man, a dedicated physi-
cian and a staunch advocate
for Quincy Medical Center,
but most of all. Bob is a
gentleman. His legacy is in
the three of four generations
of patients he has cared for."
William Helfrich, MD, in-
troduced Dr. Frates by say-
ing: "When Dr. Frates first
came to Quincy as a young
radiologist, it was one of the
best things to happen to the
hospital. He is responsible
for shaping the radiology de-
partment. He is a model phy-
sician, model father, model
husband and a model philan-
thropist."

Thomas E. Gorman, the
Dedham realtor and parttin^
golf writer, is back for an-
other shot at election as Nor-
folk County commissioner
with the "sole purpose" of
eliminating the job and the
whole county government.
"There is no service cur-
rently provided by county
government that can't be
done more effectively at the
state or local level," said
Gorman. "There isn't a
single town in Norfolk
County that isn't strapped for
cash.
"Eliminating this duplici-
tous piece of bureaucracy
would free up much needed
money that could then be
used to save the jobs of
teachers, police officers and
firefighters."
Gorman, a Republican,
would face Democratic in-
cumbents Francis O'Brien of
Dedham and John Gillis of
Quincy if the two veteran
commissioners decide to
seek reelection in November.
He ran for the same office
in 2006 and garnered nearly
75,000 votes in a losing ef-
fort.
If elected, Gorman
pledged to sell off county
assets, including Presidents
Golf Course in Quincy and
the county administrative
offices in downtown
Dedham with the host com-
munities get^ng dibs on
them.
THOMAS GORMAN
Oversight of the Norfolk
County court system and
Registry of Deeds and Pro-
bate would be shifted to the
state and the sheriff would
retain control of the jail but
report to the State Depart-
ment of Public Safety.
That sale should be worth
more than $8 million to be
returned to the county's cit-
ies and towns.
The Norfolk County Ag-
ricultural School would be
transferred to the Blue Hills
Regional School Committee.
The county health insurance
and pension system would be
combined with the state sys-
tems.
"At one time," said
Gorman, "county govern-
ment played an important
role in providing critical ser-
vices for a number of small
commupities. But those days
have long since passed.
"The reality is that county
government, as currently
constituted, is now a non-es-
sential bureaucracy that costs
our communities millions of
dollars a year to operate."
Gorman noted that Nor-
folk just one of five counties
in Massachusetts retaining
that form of government.
Middlesex, Worcester,
Hampshire and Essex Coun-
ties were among those abol-
ished in 1997.
"Eliminating waste in
government isn't a Republi-
can or Democratic issue," he
said. "It's about protecting
our tax dollars by ensuring
that our government is as
small and efficient as pos-
sible while still providing
core services."
Gorman has been a town
meeting member in Dedham
for 26 years and a member
of the Norfolk County Re-
publican Club and the
Dedham Republican Town
Committee.
He is also a member of
the Citizens for Dedham
Neighborhood Alliance, the
Dedham Citizens Action
Group, the Neponset Valley
Chamber of Commerce and
the American Association of
Notaries.
The Massachusetts Asso-
ciation of Realtors, the Great

FALLEN ARCHES
Flatfoot is a condition
caused by fallen arches.
When standing, if all parts of
the foot are touching the
floor, or if shoes have ex-
cessive wear toward the in-
side, flatfoot may be present.
A rigid flatfoot occurs when
the natural arch of the foot
disappears either when
standing or when the foot is
raised. This type of flatfoot
causes the most problems.
Flatfoot can be inherited or
acquired later in life. An in-
jury can cause a dislocation
of the talus bone, which can
result in a fallen arch. This
disorder can fc>e painful, es-
pecially for people who stand
much of the day. There are
a variety of treatments a
podiatrist can offer.
There is no reason to
suffer and continue to expe-
rience (ttscomfort from fallen
arches, deformed toe^. heel
pain, toenail problems,'[and
the other myriad conditions
that can affect your feet. At
QUINCY MEDICAL CEN-
TER, you'll receive the high-
est quality medical foot care
coupled with the personal
attention you expect and
desen/e. Our approach is
conservative, gentle, and
caring, and we welcome your
call, 781-986-3668, for an
appointment for family
footcare. Office hours are

can be very difficult for
women who have fallen

Boating And Water Safety
Although somewhat out
of the realm of fire preven-
tion and fire safety, 27 miles
of coastline along Quincy
and our concern for public
safety compel me to take this
opportunity to encourage
residents to boat responsibly
and respect the water over-
all.
While I defer to the exper-
tise of our own
Harbormaster, Patrick
Morrissey, and members of
the Quincy Police Depart-
ment Marine Units, this col-
unm affords me the opportu-
nity to pass along some writ-
ten suggestions pertaining to
water and boat safety for our
residents.
The statistics below, com-
plied by the U.S. Coast
Guard from 2006 accident
reports indicate some of the
shortfalls of human behavior
contributing to boating and
loss on the water, while they
are opportunities for us to
examine safety concerns and
learn from them.
(In 2006 there were 710
fatalities, 3,474 injuries and
nearly $44 million in prop-
erty damage due to boating
accidents. 90% of drowning
victims were not wearing life
jackets. Alcohol was the
leading contributing factor in
approximately one-fifth of
all boating fataUties. About
70% of all boating fatalities
occurred on boats where the
operator had not received
boating safety instruction.
The most reported type of
accident was a collision with

another vessel. Capsizing
and falls overboaxd are the
most reported types of fatal
accidents and account for
59% of all boating fatahties.)
Make certain you carry
appropriate personal floata-
tion devices for all aboard.
Children under the age of 1 2
are required to wear PFDs at
all times while on deck.
Coast Guard fire extinguish-
ers are required on boats
where a fire hazard can ex-
ist.
All boats are required to
have three flares. An emer-
gency radio is preferred
while boaters should main-
tain a watch on Channel 16
and familiarize themselves
with distress call procedures.
Sound producing devices are
required to signal a boater's
position during limited vis-
ibility along with a bailing
device should a vessel take
on water.
Never boat while under
the influence of alcohol; im-
paired boating is extremely
hazardous as the statistics
indicate. Get a vessel safety
check annually and in doing
so; any unsafe condition may
be proactively brought to
your attention and addressed.
And lastly, take the time and
enroll in a boating safety
class. They are offered by the
U.S. Coast Guard Auxihary
and the Massachusetts Envi-
ronmental PoUce, to mention
just two.

Education is power and in
this instance, knowledge of
boating, navigation and wa-
terway safety can become
the foundation for a lifetime
of family boating fun. It has
for me.
Finally, should you wit-
ness an individual struggling
in the water, common safety
poUcy suggests, reach, throw
or row. Often times would be
rescuers become victims
themselves or part of the
problem.
To avoid becoming part
of the problem, extend a pole
or rope to a drowning victim,
throw a flotation device or
other buoyant objects toward
the victim or row out to the
victim if a boat is available.
Each situation dictates it's
own solution; think and re-
spond properly while not re-
acting irrationally.
Have a safe and fun sum-
mer!

Keenan Sworn In
Views His Term With Pride
Crowley Considering
As New Police Chief state investigative Post

cities. The problems, he
said, are "in every city, not
just Quincy."
Community policing will
be a major thrust of Keenan' s
leadership as he called "com-
munity policing, one of my
priorities."
Keenan was sworn in by
City Clerk Joseph Shea dur-
ing a brief ceremony attended
by some 130 persons who
applauded as Mayor Thomas
Koch described Keenan as
the best choice for what Koch
called, "the most important
position in the city."
"We have a gentleman
who has come up through the
ranks and has the respect of
his brother and sister offic-
ers," Koch said in commend-
ing the new chief who is,
also, his brother in law.
Keenan was recom-
mended for the $ 1 54,000 post
by a five-member indepen-
dent committee headed by
Norfolk County Sheriff
Michael Bellotti.
Koch described the
screening process he initi-
ated after Crowley an-
nounced early in March that
he would retire June 30.
"We had a little predica-
ment obviously with Paul
being my brother in law,"
said Koch, describing his
own personal quandry.
At the time, Keenan, Cap-
tain Alan Gillan, 48, and
Captain Michael Miller,
44, were the three top candi-
dates. Gillan had the highest
score.
After being advised "to
take it ouside the normal pro-
cess," Koch asked Bellotti to
help select Crowley's suc-
cessor.
"From that point on, I had
no conversation on the sub-
ject," Koch said.
Bellotti directed the
search for the new police
chief at Koch's request and
selected the four committee
members who discussed is-
sues and screened the candi-
dates.
"We put together a great
committee," Bellotti said of
the screening committee con-
sisting of Police Chiefs
James Hussey of Cohasset
and Richard Wells, Jr. of
Milton; retired Judge
Maurice Richardson, for-
merly presiding justice of
Dedham District Court, and
President Dr. Carmen
Mariano of Archbishop Wil-
liams High School.
In mid-May, Captain
Gillan withdrew his name
from consideration, leaving
only Keenan and Miller.
"We'd be doing the city a
disservice" said Bellotti of
any possiblity of excluding
Keenan because of his rela-
tionship to the mayor.
Bellotti, also, had strong
praise for Miller, saying he
was articulate and had con-
siderable leadership ability
and that the 44 year-old
Miller is "somebody we saw
that will be back."
Bellotti, also, praised the
department, saying, "By ev-
ery measurable conceivable

assesment, this is a great po-
lice department."
During Tuesday's cer-
emony, Keenan received a
standing ovation from the 1 30
plus persons in attendance.
He said he was told that a
police chiefs happiest days
are "his first and his last."
"I know it was difficult.
The selection process was
fair," said Keenan, noting that
he and his competitor Miller
are still friends.
Keenan, also, praised
Crowley, citing his 38 years
of police work, all but two
with the Quincy Police De-
partment. .
Crowley, said Keenan,
"entrusts to me the most pro-
fessional poUce department"
in the state.
Keenan brings 25 years'
police experience to the
department's top job. He
joined the force in 1983 as a
patrolman, was appointed
sergeant in 1991, lieutenant
in 1 995, served as head of the
detective bureau and was
appointed captain in 2005.
Keenan served on the ex-
ecutive board of the superior
officers union for 1 7 years.
A native of Quincy,
Keenan and his wife, Karen,
live in Hanover. They« have
four grown children.
Keenan graduated from
North Quincy High School
in 1976, earned his bachelor's
degree from Southern New
Hampshire University and
his master's degree from
Curry College.

Former Police Chief
Robert Crowley said Tuesday
that he's considering an
investigative position at the
state level now that he has
retired from the top post in
the Quincy Police
Department.
"!' m looking to jump back
into some type of
investigative work," said
Crowley who said he's been
offered a position as an
investigator for the state.
First though, Crowley said
he's heading for a Cape Cod
vacation before he makes any
decisions.
Crowley spoke with The
Sun early Tuesday as he
waited to congratulate his
successor. Chief Paul
Keenan. Monday was
Crowley's last day as the
city's police chief. He
announced his retirement in
March.
While he waited, several
dozens friends and admirers
ROBERT CROWLEY
wished him well. City Clerk
Joseph Shea swore in Keenan
as the new chief.
"I wish Paul Keenan and
Mayor Koch all the success,"
said Crowley
Crowley described the
Quincy Police Department as
"the most disciplined and
well-trained in the state"
during the interview. He,
also, cited major strides in
technology, "We're more
than 100 percent better than
we were."
"I'm very proud of what
my investigators have done,"
said Crowley, citing
advances in solving sexual
assault cases, drug cases and
"making matches with DNA.
"All our detectives are
now trained in retrieving
finger prints and DNA," said
Crowley who also described
a number of cold cases that
have been solved
Crowley credited his
predecessors Chief William
Falco and Chief Frank
Mullen with beginning the
progress. In addition, he said
the department was awarded
$5 million in grant money
through Homeland Security
funds.
"I want to go quietly," said
Crowley who thanked former
Mayor William Phelan for
appointing him and said he
and a dozen friends
celebrated his retirement with
a dinner late last week.

also had requested that the

Four Quincy residents
received bachelor's degrees
at the 132nd commencement
exercises at Boston College.
Kimberly Walsh
graduated summa cum laude
with a Bachelor of Arts
degree in conununications.
Kimberly Walsh, also, earned
her Bachelor of Arts degree
in communication. Jenny
Shek graduated with a
Bachelor of Arts degree in
psychology.
Anne Wu, a finance and
accounting major, earned a
Bachelor of Science degree
from the Carroll School of

"I am unable to respond
at this time to your allega-
tions that the billboard may
not be built or located in con-
formance with the variance
decision because the peti-
tioner has not yet submitted
the as-built construction
plans."
The as-built construction
plans are needed before a
public hearing, Duca said,
"so I can determine if the
construction and location of
the billboard complies with
the variance decision."

WoUaston Firefighters Visit Beechwood Knoll Kindergarten
Wollaston Fire
Station's Ladder 2 under
the leadership of Lt. Ed
Columbus, recently visited
the Kindergarten at
Beechwood Knoll School.
Firefighter Steve Sweet
donned his complete fire
gear and explained how
his Scott Air Tank pro-
vided air for him to
breathe. F.F. Sweet dem-
onstrated how he looks for
people using his tools as
he crawls on the floor. He
told the boys and girls to
get out of a burning build-
ing and not to hide inside.
TTie children loved go-
ing outside to see the fire
truck. Firefighter Shawn
Darcy extended the ladder
and climbed to the top,
while the children
cheered.
Firefighters Matt
Walsh, Sweet, and Darcy
opened the fire truck's
compartments revealing
many axes, a powerful
drill, and the Jaws of Life.
Kindergartener, Gerard
Gannon said, "My favor-
ite part was when you
showed me the hook and
ax."
Alison Cahill loved the
stuffed Dalmatian that sits
behind the Ladder Truck's
driver and Sarina Lau and
Johnny Cristiani thought
that F.F. Darcy was very
brave to climb the ladder.

Build a Basic
Home Repair Kit
f\»VA Ifte to get a com-
\^»plete wA of took for
a^lmiiie. What makes up
a bask tool set? — Jamt
B.,VaUosia,Ga.
A « Most horoc-improvc-
•moit and hardware
stores sell "starter" sets for
first-tune tool buyers. These
include many of the basic
items you'll need fat minor
home repairs, such as pliers,
standard and Phillips-head
screwdrivers, and assorted
sizes and types of wrenches.
However, you will need a
few more Aings to complete
your home repair Idt:
• A curved claw hammer
and nails — Make sure the
hammer is at least 1 2 ounces
in weight and comfortable to
hold. Buy a variety of nails in
different sizes and types;
most stores offer nail sets.
• Adjustable wrench — A
10-inch adjustable wtcikA
(or a plumber's wrench) is a
versatile tool around the
house. Make sure the worm
gear operates smoothly and
doesn't wobble.
• Rotary power drill —
More important than a power
screwdriver and probably the
most convenient decorating
accessory you will ever have.
Make sure the drill has vari-
able speeds, a rcveree switch
and can hold drill bits up to
SySthsinch.
• Steel tape measure — The
model should have a lock
buttcxi to hold the extended
tape in place; purchase one
widi at least 25 feet of tape. A
1-foot ruler and a yardstick
make good companions.
• 24-inch carpenter's level
— It ^ould have two bub-
bles: one for measuring hori-
zontal level, and the other for
marking vertical plumb.
• Handsaw — Buy a saw
marked "general purpose" to
handle any variety of wood.
Lode for a steel blade, about
26 inches long, with a wood-
en handle.
• Hacksaw —This ihin saw
cuts metal; tfie blades are
itplaceable and come in sev-
eral grades for cutting differ-
ent strengths of metal.
• Pocketknife and utility
knife — The pocketknife
comes in handy for all soits
of tasks; the utility knife has
a retractile (and re^dace-
able) blade.
• Putty knife — Used to
apply and woric plaster,
spackle, or — yes — putty.
You should have two sizes: a
1-inch blade and a wide-
blade wall scra^jer.
• Sandpaper, steel wool,
metal file and wire brush —
These come in handy for a
variety of cleaning and
sharpening tasks.
• Duct tape, electrical tape
(yes, they're different) and
three types of glue: epoxy,
white (pVa) and wood ghie.
• Spackling compound and
wood putty — These make
filling holes and gaps in
walls aiKi wood easy.
Finally, having both a
stqpladder atul an extension
ladder will allow you to tack-
le hard-to-reach repairs, b(^
indoors and out

Five Tips For The Homebuying Season
(ARA) - It's time to gear
up for the busy spring and
summer homebuying season.
Buyers and sellers alike have
come to expect that there are
greater options available dur-
ing this time of year, as more
people tend to be in the mar-
ket for a new home. So what
is behind this trend and how
can you make the most of the
buying and selling season?
Why Now?
The Kids.
Many homeowners, espe-
cially those with school-aged
children, prefer to plan their
move around the summer. By
starting the homebuying pro-
cess in spring, most children
can finish the year at their
current school and start fresh
at their new school in the fall.
The IRS.
Tax refund checks start
hitting mailboxes in spring.
For people in the market for
a new home, a tax refund is
an added bonus that they can
put towards the down pay-
ment.
The Weather.
For people living in north-
em climates, the thought of
moving during winter holds
little to no appeal. As the
weather turns milder, the idea
of making a move becomes
more realistic for many.
How do I Make the
Most of the Season?
If you're one of the many
millions of Americans buy-
ing or selling a home this
year, you'd probably prefer
to make the move as smooth
as possible. Start early.
"From searching and tour-
ing houses to the negotia-
tion, home inspection and
closing, buying the home that
perfectly fits your needs can
take a lot of time, especially
if you don't know the pro-
cess," says Frank Destra,
managing director and senior
vice president of national
sales for Ditech, one of the
nation' s leading online mort-
gage lenders. "By learning
and understanding the steps
in buying a home, you will
be ready to go through the
process and complete it effi-
ciently so you can soon be-
gin enjoying your new
home."
Here are some tips from
Ditech that will help make
your spring or summer move
stress-free.
1) Review You Credit
Report. Whether this is your
first time buying a home or
your 10th time, it is always in
your best interest to keep an
eye on your credit report to
make sure your credit his-
tory is accurately reported.
Your credit history has an
impact on what loans you
can qualify for as well as the
interest rate you will be of-
fered. Report any errors to
the credit reporting agencies
right away, so that your credit
report is accurate when
you're ready to apply for
home financing.
2) Get pre-approved.
Getting pre-approved is one
of the first steps in the home
buying process. By getting
pre-approved, you will re-
ceive a loan commitment for
up to a certain amount from
your lender before you find a
home, based on a review of
yourcredit and finances. Pre-
approval makes your home
search more efficient by al-
lowing you to focus only on
the homes you know you can
afford. It also is beneficial to
have a pre-approval letter in
your possession when you
submit an offer on a home, so
the seller knows you are seri-
ous about buying the home.
3) Know what you want.
Sitting down and figuring out
what kind of home and neigh-
borhood you would prefer in
the beginning of your home
search will save you a lot of
time. Make a list of the fea-
tures that are most important
to you. Start with determin-
ing the number of bedrooms
and bathrooms as well as
other personal requirements
you might have such as an
office versus a den, one or
two stories, etc. Also, think
resale before you ever set
foot in a home. The neigh-
borhood, schools, parks,
shopping, transportation ac-
cessibility, and proximity to
key points in the city are all
characteristics that will re-
main important when you
decide to sell your home at
some point in the fiiture.
4) Review financing so-
lutions. There is a variety of
financing options available
to homebuyers, and your par-
ticular situation will play a
factor in figuring out what
financing solution might
work best for you. An expe-
rienced loan officer will take
the time to review the home
financing process, define
terms, and listen to your con-
cerns to get you a loan that
fits your needs. In addition,
home lenders such as Ditech
(www.ditech.com) offer a
number of online resources,
such as payment calculators,
glossaries, etc. to help
homebuyers better under-
stand which financing op-
tions might be right for them.
5) Negotiate. Once you
find the home of your dreams,
work with a real estate agent
to negotiate the price and
present your offer. Motivated
sellers may be willing to re-
duce their price, or even pay
part of the closing costs. Also,
if you are looking at new
construction, make sure any
incentives being offered are
tied to the home. For ex-
ample, if a builder offers a
cruise or flat-screen TV, ask
for the value of the item to be
discounted fiom the purchase
price of the home, Yoii are
purchasing a home and that
should be your focus — not
the giveaways.

Get More Space
With A Basement Remodel
This Season, The Outdoors Are 'In'
(ARA) - The day you've
dreaded has finally arrived:
your household is bursting at
the seams. You need more
space, but you ' re not keen on
the idea of entering the real
estate market right now. And
eco-conscious consumer that
you are, you don't relish the
idea of increasing your
home's environmental im-
pact with a costly addition.
You're not alone. The big-
ger is better mentality that
defined the "moving up"
trend of the past 20 years
seems to be the latest casu-
alty of the real estate down-
turn. As a result, many
homeowners are opting to
stay put and increase their
living space by remodeling
the homes they have. Many
are doing so without the cost
and eco-impact of building
an addition. Instead, they're
creating more living space
by turning areas like base-
ments, garages and even out-
door patios into usable square
footage.
Finishing a basement is
one of the most cost-effec-
tive remodeling projects, ac-
cording to Remodeling
Magazine's 2007 Cost vs.
Value report, with
homeowners seeing an aver-
age 75 percent return on in-
vestment when they sell the
home in the first year. The
cellar-to-hving-space trend
can be especially helpful for
owners of older homes, many
of which have large unfin-
ished basements.
Finishing a basement is a
complicated job and gener-
ally beyond the scope of most
do-it-yourself homeowners.
One of the quickest and easi-
est ways to finish your base-
ment is with a finishing sys-
tem like the Owens Coming
Basement Finishing
System, N0. Wall panels with
built-in thermal and acoustic
insulation are professionally
installed around the room.
Mold and mildew resistant,
the durable, dent- and stain-
resistant panels easily turn a
concrete basement into us-
able living space without the
months-long disruption and
mess of a traditional dry wall
remodel. The Basement Fin-
ishing System, N0 allows you
to convert your basement in
about two weeks. Visit
www.basementfinishing
system.com to learn more
about this basement remod-
ehng option.
Still unsure if a basement
renovation will be worth your
investment? Consider these
additional facts:
• If you've been in your
home for a while and you
have equity built up, it will
likely be easier to finance a
remodel with a home equity
line of credit than to secure a
mortgage to buy a new home.
• RemodeUng Magazine's
2007 Cost vs. Value report
shows that for mid-range
projects, additions cost an
average of $200 per square
foot, depending on where you
live in the country and the
scope of your project. By
contrast, a basement remodel
will cost much less than that.
• Finishing a basement
can allow you to reclaim
main-floor areas whose in-
tended use went by the way-
side as your living situation
became more crowded. For
example, you can move the

asset that will not only en-
hance your enjoyment of your
home, but will add dollars to
the selling price when you

"Expanding your living
space without increasing
your home' s overall footprint
pays off in terms of home-
owner satisfaction, too,"
Todd Hall, product manager
at Owens Corning, says.
"You're getting much-
needed extra space, at a lower
cost and less environmental
impact than if you were to
build a new addition. Because
finishing a basement is less
expensive than building an
addition, there's more flex-
ibility to customize as well."

(ARA) - Outdoor living
spaces are quickly becoming
the favorite upgrade for
homeowners around the
country. Outdoor improve-
ments are gaining ground on
the perennial favorites -
kitchen and bath renovations
- because of the added value
and comfort they add to a
home.
The National Association
of Home Builders (NAHB)
predicts the demand for luxu-
rious outdoor environments
will continue to rise over the
next 10 years because of the
low swing in the housing
market. Homeowners are
investing more in upgrades
for their homes, rather than
buying new ones.
The latest in outdoor liv-
ing spaces emphasizes luxury
with enhancements hke hot
tubs, built-in gas grills and
wet bars, with pavers being
the most popular building
material. There are now
manufactured products that
are making it easier to con-
vey stone' s charm, but with a
fraction of the cost and hassle
of the real thing.
"The look of hardscape -
non-plant landscape ele-
ments like woodwork, ma-
sonry or stone - really im-
parts a unique thumbprint to
any outdoor setting," said
Ken O'Neill, vice president
of Belgard Hardscapes, a
leading U.S. manufacturer of
pavers and retaining wall
products. "Whether it's a
patio floor or an expanded
outdoor bar, the look of
hardscape gives an air of so-
phistication, serenity and
communion with the natural
world."
Landscape designers have
long used pavers to create
patio floors, retaining walls,
terraces, pool decks and ac-
cent edging. New products,
designed to look more like
natural stone, are now inspir-
ing the use of pavers, rather
than stone, in more upscale
outdoor settings.
"We're seeing designers
and homeowners incorporate
products like our Celtik Wall-
a modem interpretation of
prehistoric celt stone-
throughout their outdoor liv-
ing environments," said
O'Neill. "These products
look very natural and blend
with the surrounding envi-
ronments to keep outdoor liv-
ing natural and organic."
Belgard products achieve
the rustic and random ap-
pearance with False Joint
Technology. Large blocks
are made up of a group of
stones that give the appear-
ance that each stone has been
hand-placed. This grouping
cuts installation time and
gives a more refined look.
Matching natural stone's
durabiUty and beauty, pav-
ers do not require heavy
maintenance and can reduce
labor costs associated with
professional installation.
The look of pavers can be
used to achieve major visual
impact in a large-scale set-
ting, such as a tiered patio
complete with a built-in fire
pit, retaining walls and paver
flooring. Another trend is to
use products to create sec-
ondary outdoor living areas.
In addition to a main patio
that opens from the back
door, you can create smaller,
more intimate seating areas
in secluded parts of the yard
away from the house.
With so many options for
pavers and retaining wall
products, a backyard
makeover is an easy upgrade
to any home.

Home Treadmill
or Clothes Rack?
Q, After I retired, my
^ husband bought me
a treadmill so I could work
out at home. At first I
thought this would be a
great idea, allowiiig me to
exercise whenever I want-
ed, but this hasn't been the
case. I find myself walking
past the treadmill in our
bedroom and choosing to
do something else with my
time. I need to work out
and want to use my tread-
mill. How can I motivate
myself to not walk past it
and actually use it?
A, Home exerci&e equip-
• ment often becomes
another addition to your
household furniture. Once
brought home, treadmills,
staticmary bikes and the like
frequently find another use
— as a clotfies rack or laun-
dry hamper. This does not
have to be Ae case for
everyone. Finding the best
place in your home for a
treadmill and making a ded-
icated space to exercise can
make using your treadmill
more appending.
The idea of wanting to
exocise at home is great.
Having the option to walk or
run at home without having
to go outside or to the gym
can be a great oiAion. But
just placing the treadnull
inside your home might not
automatically motivate you
to use it. When you see the
treadmill in your room each
day, it may make you feel as
if you can "exercise later" or
"start tomorrow," since the
treadmill is not going any-
where.
First, find a place for your
treadmUl that will be com-
fortable, motivating and
removed bom other distrac-
tions. If you have the space,
find a room other than your
bedroom for the treadmill,
and try to avoid placing it
where you can see other
"work" or projects you want
to complete. Seeing what
else you could or should be
doing may "guilt" you into
choosing to complete those
projects instead of working
out. Place music, a televi-
sion or telei^one in this
room if you find yourself
leaving your workout to do
something else.
If you do not have a sepa-
rate room for your tread-
mill, try to create a space
where you can reach it with-
out stepping over furniture
or odier household items.
Position your treadmill near
a window or open space to
create a view that can moti-
vate you and elimiiute a
feeling of "working out" in
your room.
And no matter how much
exercise equipment you
have at home, you will have
to continue to make the time
to use it Scheduling time to
exercise and sticking widi
your schedule each day can
help you get into a habit of
using your treadmill.
Avoid the temptation to
use your treadmill for any-
thing other than exercising,
and ask others in yoiir home
to do the same. One shirt
thrown on die treadmill can
trigger an avalanche of
clothes and other non-exer-
cise items. Enjoy the bene-
fits of exercising at home by
planning and remembering
why the treadmill is there.
Always consult a physi-
cian before beginning an
exercise program. If you
have a fitness or training
question, write to Andrea in

ly Service, P.O. Box 536475,

SMOKING INCREASES GUM-DISEASE RISK
Aside from all the other gum problems, the real bad
smoking-related health risks,
research shows that smokers
are more likely to develop
gum disease and to have
more serious cases than non-
smokers. Bone loss, gum re-
cession, and tartar (hardened
plaque) all contribute to gum
disease that are common
among users of tobacco. If
the excessive plaque is not
removed, the gums become
infected and pull away from
the teeth. Researchers be-
lieve that nicotine and other
substances in tobacco may
weaken the body's immune
response to harmful bacteria
and reduce blood flow to the
gums. As the bacteria in
plaque attack the tissues and
bone that support the teeth,
the stage is set for loosened
teeth and tooth loss, also
more conmion among smok-
ers than nonsmokers.
For severe - and early -
guy is tobacco. Not only does
smoking lead to bad breath
and stained, yellow teeth but
recent research also shows
that smoking is a leading
cause of gum disease. Our
goal is to help our patients
reach their own unique and
highest levels of oral health.
All of our patients are indi-
viduals, and as such will
achieve our goal in different
ways and at different paces.
No two patients are alike, so
no two treatment programs
will be the same. Our office
is located at 44 Greenleaf
Street. Please call 617-479-
6220 to schedule an appoint-
ment. We offer the services
of anesthesiology with a fully

siologist. Visit us on the web

patients with oral cancer ei-
ther smoke or chew tobacco.
L
Helpful Tips For A Safe Summer
Keeping Kids Safe From Lyme Disease
By DR. BEN KRUSKAL
Harvard Vanguard
Medical Associates
Schoors out and kids are
spending more time outside.
Almost 20,000 cases of
Lyme disease were reported
in the US in 2006; 1,400 of
them from Massachusetts.
Peak incidence occurs in
children 5-9 years old, but
Lyme disease can appear in
any age group.
Here is what you need to
know about Lyme disease
before heading outside this
suiimier:
• The easiest way for kids
to prevent tick bites is by
avoiding wooded areas. If
you're not sure, think like a
deer: deer ticks live where
deer live. If there are deer,
there are probably deer ticks.
• If you venture into the
woods for a hike or a camp-
ing trip, take precautions:
• Apply insect repellent
with DEBT. Infants and
young children may use up
to 30% DEET repellents. In-
sect repellent should not be
used for children less than
two months old.
• Dress kids in long
sleeves and pants, and tuck
pants into socks.
• After enjoying a walk in
the woods, thoroughly in-
spect every inch of your
children's skin for ticks, pay-
ing close attention to the
hairline and scalp. Check
every 24 hours if you are
outside daily.
If your child does have a
tick:
• Don't panic. Even if a
tick carries tiie Lyme disease
bacterium, in order to trans-
mit Lyme disease it must be
latched onto your skin for 36
hours.
• Remove the tick. The
best way to remove a tick is
to pull it off gently, leaving
the tick and its mouth parts
intact. Applying heat, alco-
hol, petroleum jelly or fin-
gernail polish to an embed-
ded tick is not an effective
means for removal.
The following is the rec-
ommended procedure:
• Use blimt curved twee-
zers
• Grasp the tick as close
to the skin surface as pos-
sible and pull upward with
steady, even pressure
• Hold this tension for 3
to 4 minutes and the tick will
back out from the skin's sur-
face
• Do not squeeze, crush,
or puncture the body of the
tick because its fluids may
contain bacteria
• Immediately dispose of
the tick. If you have any con-
cerns, put the tick in a plas-
tic bag and freeze it. If you
do become ill you can take
the dead tick with you when
you see your doctor
• Inmiediately wash your
hands and the affected area
with soap and water
• Watch the location of
the tick bite. If a red ring de-
velops around the site of the
tick bite and steadily ex-
pands outward, or if similar
rashes appear on the skin
elsewhere, see a doctor.
• Treatment for diagnosed
Lyme disease includes a
round of oral antibiotics.
Testing people for Lyme dis-
ease is complex — early on,
the blood test will be nega-
tive; and, once you've had
Lyme, the test may stay posi-
tive for years or even a life-
time.
Milton Hospital's ^Generations" Video On Local Cable Access TV
Shows like ER, House
and Grey's Anatomy have
brought the inside of a hos-
pital to the mainstream me-
dia, yet most people still as-
sociate hospitals with heart
monitors, not television
monitors.
Milton Hospital is aiming
to change this perception
within the local community
by producing and airing the
non-profit organization's
first behind-the-scenes
video.
Filmed over the winter,
Milton's "Generations" is a
30-minute video showcasing
advancements in the
hospital's emergency depart-
ment, surgical services, en-
doscopy centers and more,
which were made possible
by contributions to the
hospital's Generations Capi-
tal Campaign. Throughout
the video, nursing staff, vol-
unteers, physicians, adminis-
tration and others offer a be-
hind-the-scenes tour of the
hospital's new facihties.
Along with hospital
events such as the recent
Taste of Spring fundraiser
and the Community Health
Day, the video serves as an-
other touch point to the com-
munity to remind them of the
importance of the hospital's
work, even if they haven't
recently used the hospital's
services.
Hospital leaders and
members of the wider com-
mimity have generously con-
tributed nearly $2.5 million
to date to the Generations
Capital Campaign — bring-
ing the hospital halfway to its
goal of raising $5 miUion.
"Our goal was to film
-footage of the new hospital
areas and the staff in a way
that showcases not only the
beautiful new building and
high-tech equipment, but
also emphasizes the compas-
sionate care patients receive
here which sets Milton Hos-
pital apart," said Public Re-
lations Manager Jason
Bouffard.
The video is scheduled to
air on the Milton, Randolph,
Canton and Quincy local
cable access channels. Parts
of the video will soon be
available on
www.miltonhospital.org.

A Job Well Done
On Monday, June 23, 2008, Detective William O' Brien
received information that a male suspect known to him
had an outstanding arrest warrant.
At approximately 10:30 P.M., Detective O'Brien
observed a male fitting the description of the suspect enter
the 7- Eleven store located at 363 Hancock St. The
detective followed the suspect in and then confirmed the
suspect's identity. The suspect, upon seeing the detective,
walked up to him and said
hello. Detective O'Brien
then asked the suspect if he
had a warrant. As soon as
the suspect heard this, he
immediately ran for the door
and attempted to flee the
area.
The detective yelled,
"Stop Police" and then had
to grab a hold of him as he
exited the store. Detective
0' Brien was able to take the
suspect to the ground, but as
he attempted to subdue him, the suspect, on his back,
extended both legs in the air and kicked the detective in
the legs and torso area.
The suspect then repeatedly threw elbow strikes to the
detective's shoulders and upper torso as he continued to
resist being placed under arrest. The suspect struggled to
get free and then escaped the detective's grasp as the
suspect's shirt came off in his hands. The suspect then
jumped up and ran off leaving his sneakers behind. As the
suspect ran across Hancock Street, Detective O'Brien
gave chase through the Sacred Heart Parish parking lot.
Detective O'Brien called Detective Ed Ryan on his cell
phone, who notified patrol units in the area. The chase
continued over fences and through residential yards of
Hodges Street, Newbury Street, Birch Street, and out to
Glover Avenue near Cavanaugh Field. The suspect was
able to elude Detective O'Brien, however.
Communications had dispatched numerous Patrol Officers
and they responded to the area to help in the search.
A perimeter was established to contain the suspect and
a K-9 Unit was dispatched to the area, with the plan to
have the dog sniff the shirt and sneakers left behind at the
7-Eleven Store. Once the perimeter was set up, additional
Officers began searching backyards for the suspect.
Detective Ryan arrived on scene and joined up with
Detective O'Brien.
They began a yard-to-yard search for the suspect,
where he was last seen and found him hiding in the bushes
near 98 Glover Avenue. The suspect came out peacefully
and was placed under arrest for the outstanding warrant in
addition to "Causing Physical Injury to a Police Officer
and Resisting Arrest ."
After the suspect, a 20-year-old Quincy resident, was
transported to the station. Detective O'Brien received
medical attention at Quincy Medical Center for an injured
right hand. Nice Work!

BEWARE D.A.R.E. DOOR TO DOOR
SOLICITATIONS: Marilyn Manning of the Quincy
Business Association informs me that at least one
individual has been going to businesses in Quincy Square
soliciting donations for National D.A.R.E. In return for
your donation, you will receive a coupon booklet. This
solicitation does not involve the Quincy Police D.A.R.E.
program and is most likely telemarketers working for the
national D.A.R.E. association, which means that
approximately 75% to 85% of your donation goes to a
private for profit group and the rest to D.A.R.E. on the
national level. Very little, if any of the donation would
ever trickle down to benefit the youth of Quincy. If you
are interested in donating to D.A.R.E., the best method is
to send the check directly to D.A.R.E. at the Police
Department of your choice. In the case of the Quincy
Police Department, 100% of the donation goes to services
for local children.

birds nest
prefer small
others, such as
Some birds, like the Carolina wren,
structures just a few feet up, while
woodpeckers or owls, like roomier homes much higher
up. Securing birdhouses, eliminating the use of harmful
chemicals and leaving food, water and nesting materials
out (but away from foliage where predators can hide)
can encourage birds to nest - and feed on pests - nearby.

Slcil'S
ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Before you adventurous
Arians charge right into those
new projects, take a little
time to Icam where you'll be
going so you can avoid get-
ting lost before you get there.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) Your time is devoted to
career demands dirough
much of the week. But Venus,
who rules your sign, might be
planning how (and with
whom) you'll spend your
weekend.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Don't be put off by the
surprising turn in the way
your project is developing.
You've invcstai enough time
in it to know how to make all
the necessary adjustments.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) The work week goes
smoothly for the most part.
But a weekend visit to a place
in your past could hold sur-
prises for your future, espe-
cially where romance is
involved.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
A sudden attack of shyness
for the usually loquacious
Lion could be a sign tfiat deep
down you're not sure enough
about what (or whom) you
had plarmed to talk up in pub-
lic.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) Deal with that
job-related problem on-site
— that is, at the workplace.
Avoid taking it home, where
it can spoil those important
personal plans you've made.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) It's a good time
to let those favorable com-
ments about your business
dealings be known to those in
a position to be helpful.
Don't hide your lig^t; let it
shine.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Avoid added
pressure to finish a project on
deadline by steering clear of
distracticHis. To put it some-
what poetically: Tune for fun
— when your tasks are done.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21) You
might be uneasy about an
offer from a longtime col-
league. But before you reject
it, study it. You mi^t be sur-
prised at what it actually con-
tains.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 1 9) Deal firmly
with a difScult family matter.
It's your strength they need
right now. You can show your
emotions when the situation
begins to ease up.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) A recent dis-
pute wiih some co-workers
might not have been com-
pletely resolved. But other
colleagues wUl be only too
happy to offer support of
your actions.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Let go of that Pis-
cean pride long enough to
allow someone to help you
witihi a surprising develop-
ment. That could make it eas-
ier for you to adjust to the
change.
BORN THIS WEEK:
Your willingness to open up
to possibilities is why people
like you are often among our
most popular political lead-
ers.

This week, we, as a nation and
as individuals, celebrate the birth-
day of our nation. On July 4th, let
us take the time to repledge and
renew our faith in our country . .
Bom of a revolution, this coun-
try began with a pledge: liberty
and justice for all. Now . . . more than 200 years later
. . . we, the American people, are still striving for these
goals. It's easy to find fault . . . but it takes dedication
and unity to bring about change, as our forefathers
did. We have the freedom now to do it peacefully.
Let's celebrate that freedom today and honor our
nation for what's been achieved. Then, let's join
together . . . with a renewed sense of purpose - to reach
our goal.
Today, we sometimes take our rights and free-
doms for granted. On this Fourth of July, let us
remember that many of our forefathers died for these
causes, giving us the gift oX. a free nation.

YOetcome to ^Istotlc Q^ulncu!
Like no time before, our city's rich history stands at center stage. With an acclaimed
mini-series debuting this year on the life of Quincy's celebrated native son, John Adams,
thousands of new visitors are for the first time discovering our city's heritage.
It is my pleasure to introduce The Quincy Sun's ''Historic Quincy" supplement as a
guide to all things historic about the City of Presidents. And I believe you will find it helpful
as you discover Quincy's treasures - The Adams National Historic Park and the presidential
homesteads; The United First Parish Church, which serves as the final resting place for John,
John Quincy, Abigail and Louisa Catherine Adams; The Hancock Cemetery; the Adams
Academy and the Quincy Historical Society; Our granite and shipbuilding heritage; and so
much more.
Our wonderful history is only part of Quincy's story, and I hope you will enjoy every-
thing our city has to offer. Our miles of scenic, restored beaches, especially a rejuvenated
Wollaston Beach. Our acres of beautiful parkland, much of which were donated to Quincy by
the Adams family. Our world-class golf courses and restaurants.
We are all proud of our great city, and I wholeheartedly encourage you to discover Quincy.
Sincerely,
THOMAS P KOCH

'Like Magnet And Steel'
John And Abigail A Unique Historic Team
By TOM HENSHAW
The note from the \^oung housewife,
struggling to survive with her four chil-
dren on the farm in the North Precinct
of Braintree (now Quinc}^), to her hus-
band participating in momentous events
so far awai>, was both pla\^ful and seri-
ous.
"In the new code of laws which I sup-
pose it will be necessari; for \^ou to
make," she wrote, 7 desire you would
remember the ladies and be more gen-
erous and favourable to them than your
ancestors.
"Do not put such unlimited power
into the hands of husbands. Remember,
all men would be tyrants if they could.
"If particular care and attention is not
paid to the ladies, we are determined
to foment a rebellion, and will not hold
ourselves bound by any laws in which
we have no voice, no representation. "
The husband, of course, could not
fulfill his wife's desires for it was the
nature of the times that the woman was
destined to be subordinate to the man.
Nor did his feisty wife foment any re-
bellion.
But, on a personal level, the husband
and his young wife were to be caught
up as equal partners in one of history's
most significant turning points — the
American Revolution and the founding
of the first great and lasting republic.
They seemed to be mismatched at first,
the lady and her would-be tyrant.
Abigail Smith, known to friends as
"Nabby," the unschooled but well-read
minister's daughter from nearby
Weymouth, granddaughter of Col. John
Qi^incy, selectman, speaker of the Mas-
sachusetts House and commander of the
local militia.
John Adams, the son of a Braintree
farmer and shoemaker, grandson of the
affluent Boylston family of Boston,
Harvard-educated, sometime school
teacher and a rising attorney at law.
Yet together they formed a team, each
supplying something lacking in the other,
a union that propelled John into the role
of second president of the United States
and produced a son, John Quincy Adams,
who became the sixth.
Th'? couple came together, John once
said, "like magnet and steel. "
They married in 1764 when Abigail
was 19 and John was ten years older and
just beginning to earn a reputation as a
colonial malcontent by arguing against
taxation without representation in court
before the royal governor.
Later, John, who placed justice above
expediency, disappointed the firebrands
among them, including his cousin, Samuel
Adams, by defending in court Capt. Tho-
mas Preston and the British soldiers
charged in what came to be known as
the Boston Massacre. All but two of them
were acquitted.
John was called to Philadelphia in
1774 as a Massachusetts delegate to the
First Continental Congress and Abigail
and her four children, Susannah, John
Quincy, Thomas and Charles, were left
to run the 100-acre farm at the foot of
Penn's Hill. It turned out to be a long job.
For most of the Revolutionary War,
John was in Philadelphia helping to found
a new nation — it was he who recom-
mended George Washington as com-
mander-in-chief and Jefferson to write the
Declaration of Independence — or in
France and Holland, seeking loans and
recognition from foreign governments.
Once, during a prolonged absence in
the darkest days of the fighting, the long-
suffering Abigail wrote to her husband:
"Difficult as the day is, cruel as this war
has been, separated as I am, on account
of it, from my dearest connection in life, 1
would not exchange my country for the
wealth of the Indies, or be any other than
an American."
At one point in their marriage, after
the war was won and John was in Paris
seeking to cement relations between the
fledgling United States and French court
of Louis XVI, he sent for Abigail and she
made the exhausting Trans-Atlantic trip
to meet her husband.
They hadn't seen each other in five
years.
Even when he was home briefly on the
farm, John had things to do and people
to see that took him away from Abigail's
side. He joined with his cousin Samuel
and James Bowdoin in 1779 to write the
Massachusetts constitution, a model for
the American document, in his home in
Braintree. Then it was off again to Eu-
rope.
John returned home, for good, he
thought, in 1788 after serving a term as
the first American ambassador to Great
Britain only to find that his country still
had need for his talents. He was chosen
as the new nation's first vice president, a
poor choice on his part.
"My own situation is almost the only
one in the world today in which firmness
and patience are useless," he poured out
his restlessness to Abigail. "(It is) the most
insignificant office that ever the invention
of man contrived or his imagination con-
ceived."
When the first president, George
Washington, decided two terms were
enough, John was elected the second
president by three electoral votes over
Jefferson, who became vice president of
a country that was dividing into two po-
litical parties. Federalist and Democratic-
Republican.
John and Abigail were the first presi-
dential couple to live in the yet unfinished
White House, which was known then as
the Presidential Palace, and Abigail won
a special spot in White House folklore by
hanging her laundry in the East Room,
where warmth gave it a better chance of
drying.
The Adams administration was marked
by the threat of war with France, whose
JOHN ADAMS
bloody revolution had helped divide the
nation into pro-French Democratic-Re-
publicans and pro-British Federalists, and
passage of the unfortunate Alien and Se-
dition Acts, drastically curtailing free
speech and immigration.
Jefferson, the Democratic-Republican,
defeated Adams, the Federalist, the sec-
ond time around in 1800, and the politi-
cal rivalry between the two Founding Fa-
thers was so bitter that John refused to
stay in Washington for Jefferson's inau-
gural.
ABIGAIL ADAMS
Finally, John's service to his country
came to an end and he and Abigail were
able to return to a new and larger home,
which they named "Peacefield," in the
North Precinct, which had now broken
away from Braintree to become the town
of Quincy (population 1,081), named for
Abigail's grandfather.
When Jefferson left the presidency af-
ter two terms, Abigail assumed the role
of peacemaker between the two old
friends and, thanks to her efforts, the two

THE ADAMS MANSION, affectionately called "The Old House

House of Presidents John and John Quincy Adams and home to
four generations of the illustrious Adams family. Purchased by
John and Abigail Adams in 1 787, it is located at 135 Adams St.
and is a National Historical Site under supervision of the U.S.

First Father And Sor^ Presidents
Birthplaces Of John And John Quincy Adams
They could be called two of the oldest
houses in America, although no one
knows exactly when they were built and
they have been restored and patched so
many times in the past 300 or so years
that it's doubtful how much of the origi-
nal material remain?.
When the cottage at 133 Franklin St.
was restored by the Daughters of the
Revolution in 1897, a brick bearing the
date 1661 was discovered under the
southeast corner and the house was
known to have been occupied by one
Joseph Penniman in that year.
And a man named Samuel Belcher was
living in the one at 141 Franklin St. as
early as 1663 when it was little more than
a one room shack with a fireplace. It was
built to its present size in 1716, as evi-
denced by a date brick found in the new
fireplace.
Together, the modest buildings are the
birthplaces of John Adams, the second
president of the United States, and John
Quincy Adams, his son, the sixth presi-
dent of the United State.
It was the North Precinct of Braintree
then, a sprawling tract of woods and farm-
lands some 10 miles south of the Boston

It is a privilege to serve as President of the Quincy City Council
sharing the burdens and rewards of public service at this exciting
time in Quincy's history with colleagues whom 1 respect and
admire.
There can be no finer community in all of the U.S.A. in which
to live, work and raise a family than our historic city of Quincy. From
all-day kindergarten through college, our schools provide excel-
lence in education and are responsive to the needs of all students.
Our neighborhoods are safe, and our police and fire departments
have received national recognition. We also have an abundance of
natural resources not the least of which is a 27-mile coastline.
With much gratitude to Pulitzer Prize winning author David
McCullough, we are seeing a big lift in our tourism industry. There
is mega interest in the birthplaces of John Adams and John Quincy
Adams as well as the Adams Mansion. First-time visitors to Quincy
will delight in the many treasures our city holds. Our own residents
are revisiting the historic sites in Quincy and plan to enjoy summer
activities at beautifully renovated Wollaston Beach. Our restaurants
are some of the finest found anywhere. We also have excellent
hotels.
Our city is thriving with a unique vitality. Our residents are proud
of our rich past, and full of promise for our future. There is an
exciting blend of the old with the new in Quincy architecture. Our
neighborhoods are diverse and spectacular, and there is interest in
new commercial development which will certainly broaden our tax
base.
Don't miss out this summer - discover Quincy. Take in all of its
magnificent historic sites and many other exciting attractions such
as the Granite Links Golf Course with a breath-taking panoramic
view, or the Boardwalk at Marina Bay, just to name a few. Relish
in the beauty of Quincy, so close to Boston. You wont be
disappointed.

The Old House At Peace Field
Summer White House And Home Of 2 Presidents
Josiah Quincy, the one who built
railroads around New England
and founded the cooperative bank
movement in Massachusetts, was
in his boyhood a frequent visitor to the
mansion where John Adams, the second
president of the United States, lived in re-
tirement.
Later, he wrote with wry amusement
about Sunday dinner with the aging pa-
triarch of the Adams clan and his wife,
Abigail, a dinner that inevitably began with
a thick pudding made from boiled corn
meal.
"...it being thought desirable to take
the edge off one's hunger before reach-
ing the joint," wrote Quincy.
"Indeed, it was considered wise to
stimulate the young to fill themselves with
pudding, by the assurance that the boy
who managed to eat the most of it should
be helped most abundantly to the meat,
which was to follow.
"It need not be said that neither the
winner nor his competitors found much
room for meat at the close of their con-
test; and so the domestic economy of the
arrangement was very apparent."
Quincy, as a young Harvard law stu-
dent, stopped by several times a week in
summer to talk and read to the former
President. He found the visits delightful.
Indeed, the Adams of the cold and aus-
tere public mien was never more relaxed
than he was at his country home in
Quincy.
The original house, a small part of the
present building, was built probably in
1731 by Major Leonard Vassall, a wealthy
West Indian sugar planter who lived in
Cambridge and apparently used it for a
summer place.
His daughter, Mrs. Anna Borland, who
was a Loyalist during the Revolution,
abandoned the house to leave with the
British forces when they evacuated Bos-
ton in 1776. For a while it was used as a
haven for rebel refugees fleeing the war
zones.
Mrs. Borland returned to reclaim the
house after the Revolution and John
Adams, then in Europe as the first Ameri-
can ambassador to London, purchased it
for 600 pounds through the good offices
of the Cotton Tuffs of Weymouth, his wife
Abigail's cousin.
The Adamses were about to return to
the United States after seven years abroad
and Abigail was concerned that John's
books and papers and the furnishings they
had acquired in Europe would not fit into
their old farmhouse at the foot of Penn's
Hill where they lived before.
The deal was closed on Sept. 26,
1787, and the deed is still on file in the
Suffolk County Registry of Deeds in which
the Adams purchase is specified as a
house, barn and other buildings on seven
acres of land with some 76 acres more
scattered around the North Precinct if
Braintree.
There are indications that Abigail was
first disappointed with her purchase. It was
a lot smaller than she remembered it.
"In height and breadth it feels like a
wren's house," she wrote to her daugh-
ter, Abigail, the wife of Col. William S.
Smith, "Let Col. Smith come without
heels to his shoes or he will not be able to
walk upright. "
Abigail and John Adams moved into
the house, which they named
"Peacefield, " after his retirement from the
presidency in 1801 and lived there until
they died.
It was from the 'Old House," as the
family called it, that John Adams carried
on his long and increasingly warm corre-
spondence with his old rival, Thomas
Jefferson of Virginia, who had succeeded
him in the presidency. In retirement, they
became firm friends as they outlasted their
contemporaries.
"Thomas Jefferson lives, ' whispered
John Adams as he lay dying in the Old
House. He was wrong. Jefferson, in far
away Monticello, Va., had preceded him
in death by a few hours on the same day.
It was July 4, 1826, the 50th anniver-
sary of the Declaration of Independence.
The Old House which served as sum-
mer White House for two presidents, was
home to four generations of the Adams
family, the last, Brooks Adams, dying in
February, 1927. It was taken over by the
U.S. National Park Service in 1946 to
become the Adams Mansion National His-
torical Site.
The Old House at Peace Field, 135 Adams St. is open from April 19 to
Nov. 10 daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The last full tour is at 4 p.m. Admis-
sion is $5 for adults and youth 16 and over, and includes admission to the
Adams Birthplaces within seven days. Tours must be arranged at the Visi-
tors' Center, 1250 Hancock St. The last full tour of the park leaves the
Visitors' Center at 3:15 p.m. Tours are on a first come, first serve basis.
D*iz to publicity from the John Adams HBO Mini-Series, tours sell out
early, especially on weekends and holidays.

Distinguished Service From Age 14 To 80
John Quincy Adams: 6th President And A Lot More
By TOM HENSHAW
When he was 14 years old, John
Quincy Adams was dispatched to St. Pe-
tersburg, Russia, to translate the official
French spoken at the court of Czarina
Catherine the Great for the American
ambassador, Francis Dana.
In a way, the eldest son of John Adams
was already a veteran diplomat, having
served two tours of France and Holland
with his father and Benjamin Franklin as
they sought European aid for the Ameri-
can colonies in rebellion.
The Revolution was won by the time
he returned home to old Braintree and
the fractured education he received in
France, Holland, Russia and England al-
lowed him to enter Harvard as a junior
and graduate in 18 months.
He was named minister to the Nether-
lands by President George Washington in
1794, beginning a long career in public
service that carried him through the presi-
dency in 1925-29 to his death on the floor
of Congress in 1848.
Like his father before him, John Quincy
Adams was defeated for a second term
as president, each having the misfortune
to represent the Old Guard at a time when
American democracy was embracing the
new.
One of John Adams' first moves as
president was to name his son to the more
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS
important post as minister to Prussia amid
cries of nepotism that embarrassed the
30-year-old John Quincy dreadfully but
he took the post anyway.
And he took a bride, too, Louisa
Catherine Johnson, the vivacious and
highly educated daughter of an American
father and an English mother, his second
choice, after his mother, Abigail, had tor-
pedoed his first love, Mary Frazier of
Newburyport.
His father fired him as minister to
Prussia to spare him another embarrass-
ment of being fired by his successor, Tho-
mas Jefferson, and John Quincy was able
to return home to a new town named for
his great grandfather.
He ran for and won a seat in the state
legislature as a Federalist, his father's old
party, but he showed such a strong streak
of independence that his fellow Federal-
ists urged him to stand for the US Senate
to be rid of him.
Since it was the legislators themselves
who voted for senators in those days, John
Quincy was elected and promptly alien-
ated both Federalists and Democrat-Re-
publicans by speaking up for the Louisi-
ana Purchase and voting against creation
of the Louisiana Territory.
He finally emerged as a Democrat-Re-
publican in 1808 after the British frigate
Leopard attacked the American frigate
Chesapeake in search of what the Brits
thought were deserters from his majesty's
navy and the Federalists sought to ap-
pease them.
Federalists were outraged and even
John and Abigail, living in retirement in
Peace Field, their estate in Quincy, found
the words to chastise their son, who re-
sponded, "I could wish to please my par-
ents — but my duty must do."
Rather than face dismissal by his home
state, John Quincy resigned his Senate
seat but the ink was hardly dry before
President James Madison nominated him
to be minister to Russia and he liked it so
well that he turned down a Supreme Court
appointment to keep it.
in fact, he and Tsar Alexander I, the
one who halted Napoleon's march on
Moscow, hit it off so well that the Russian
ruler offered to be godfather to John
Quincy's first daughter, Louisa Catherine,
but the offer was refused.
Always available, Adams the ultimate
negotiator was next called on to chair the
American delegation to Ghent in Belgium
where the final peace treaty with Britain
was drawn up ending the War of 1812,
what some call the second American
Revolution.
A new president, James Monroe,
meant a new job for John Quincy, who
was named secretary of state in 1817 at
a time when their colonies in Latin
America were declaring independence
from Spain and Portugal.
When President Monroe delivered to
Congress on Dec. 2, 1823, the message
that those Latin colonies can no longer
"be considered as subjects for future colo-
nization by any European Power " he was
speaking Adams' words and it became the
Monroe Doctrine.
The Americans' ace negotiator also
worked out the so-called Adams-Onis

Hancock Cemeteri;
Where Patriots, Eariy Settlers, Intrigue Rest
Henry, the first Adams in
Quincy, is buried there. So
is the Rev. John Hancock,
father of the first signer of
the Declaration of Independence. And
Colonel John Quincy, for whom the city
is named.
But of all the 800 graves in the
Hancock Cemetery, the Old Burying
Ground of Colonial Quincy, most intrigu-
ing is one marked by a tombstone bear-
ing this cryptic epitaph:
"Erected to the memory of John R.
Grieve: Died Nov. 12, 1850, age 22
years, and Hannah Banks, his wife, died
Nov. 12, 1850, age 15 years. Both of
Zanesville, Ohio. Deluded by the writings
of A.J. Davis."
The mystery of John and Hannah has
never been fully solved.
They came to Quincy in 1850, not as
man and wife, but as male cousins, John
Green and George Sands. They obtained
work in a shoe factory but rarely left their
lodgings on Elm St., spending long hours
reading books on spiritualism.
Co-Workers thought that George
Sands looked frail, almost effeminate. It
was widely suspected that "he" was a girl.
A scheme was devised to test the theory.
One day at lunch one of the shoe work-
ers tossed George an apple. A man would
catch it by closing his legs; a woman by
spreading her skirt. Guess what "George"
HANCOCK CEMETERY
did!
Humiliated, John and Hannah never
went back to the factory. Nor did they
ever return to the house on Elm St. Their
frozen bodies were found next spring by
rabbit hunters on Penn's Hill, locked in a
loving embrace.
Several months later, the father of John
Grieve arrived from Ohio to bury the
young couple. It was he who directed the
words to be chiselled on the headstone.
He explained no further.
A.J. Davis was never identified for sure.
But Andrew Jackson Davis, a spiritualist,
hypnotist and faith healer, was then prac-
ticing in Boston.
Among the belongings found in the
Elm. St. lodgings were these words, writ-
ten by 15-year-old Hannah Banks:
"To the oppressed and downtrodden,
to the suffering and afflicted, 1 would cry
out... Death is only an event, only a cir-
cumstance in the eternal life experience
of the human soul. Death is simply a birth
into a new and perfect state of existence."
Not far from the grave of John and
Hannah is a tomb bearing words that cry
out of an earlier injustice:
"Three precious friends under this
tombstone lie
"Patterns to aged, youth and infancy.
"A great mother, her learned son, with
child.
"The first and least went free. He was
exiled.
"In love to Christ, this country, and dear
friends.
"He left his own, cross d seas and for
amends
"Was here extoll'd, and envy'd all in a
breath,
'His noble consort leaves, is drawn to
death,
"Stranger changes may befall us ere
we die,
"Blest they who will arrive eternity.
"God grant some names, O thou New
England's friend.
"Don't sooner fade than thine, if times
don't mend."
The tomb with its hidden message con-
tains the family of the Rev. Leonard Hoar,
third president of Harvard College, a man
too liberal for his times.
He was forced by the General Court
of the Massachusetts Bay Colony to re-
sign at the instigation of religious oppo-
nents and jealous colleagues for permit-
ting Harvard to "languish and decay. "
Eight months later, in November 1675,
he was dead at 45.
In 1975, the same General Court, now
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
righted the 300-year-old wrong done to
the Rev. Mr. Hoar by "proclaiming and
confirming his innocence of any misdeeds
while president of Harvard College."
The cemetery, on Hancock
St., Quincy Sq., next to City Hall,
is open to the public. There is
no admission charge.

United First Parish
Only Church Where Two Presidents Entombed
In 1949, when the present First Par-
ish Church building, the Old Stone
Temple, was 121 years old, it was
ruled officially that the church is older
than the city itself and the town before it.
It was then that the late historian Will-
iam Churchill Edwards v* as called upon
to resolve a minor dispute that involved
the rounding of the corners of the church
lot in downtown Quincy.
"Almost the first subject to which the
minds of the early settlers of our country
were turned after they landed here was
the formation of a church," said Edwards.
The first church in these parts was es-
tablished as a branch of the Church of
Boston in 1636. It became a church in its
own right in 1639. The Mount Wollaston
section of Boston was incorporated as the
town of Braintree on May 23, 1640.
Ergo, the church came first!
Quincy's first house of worship, the
branch of the Church of Boston, was
called the "Chapel of Ease," and if it was
neglected by early historians it was be-
cause its first pastor, the Rev. John Wheel-

Wright, his sister-in-law, Anne Hutchinson,
and others were banished from the Mas-
sachusetts Bay Colony for heresy.
The new church, the one that lasted,
was gathered by covenant on Sept. 26,
1639, and it was holding services in its
third meeting house in 1732 when its
pastor was the Rev. John Hancock, fa-
ther of the bold first signer of the Decla-
ration of Independence. Son John also
was a member.
The affairs of the church and the town
of Quincy were one and the same until
1824 when church and state were sepa-
rated in Massachusetts and the Congre-
gational Society was established to handle
parochial matters.
The old Hancock meeting house was
still standing, although a little run down,
on the south lawn of the present church
lot in 1822 when former President John
Adams deeded the interest from certain
of his lands and granite from his pastures
to build a stone temple.
It was completed in Greek revival style
at a cost of $30,488.56-which was some
$3,000 less than architect Alexander
Parrish's estimate-and dedicated Nov. 12,
1828, with John Quincy Adams, the sixth
President of the United States holding
Pew No. 1.
Even before the church was dedicated,
the mortal remains of his benefactors,
John and Abigail Adams, were transferred
to tombs in the crypt of the church and,
in 1852, the bodies of John Quincy
Adams and his wife, Louisa, joined them.
It is the only church in the United States
in which two Presidents are buried. The
only other church in which a President is
buried is the Episcopal Cathedral in Wash-
ington, D.C., where President Woodrow
Wilson is entombed.
The diurch Is open to the pub-
lic for tours daily from 9 a.in. to 5

Why We Pronounce
It *Quin-zee*
Why do we pronounce Quincy
"Quin-zee" when just about everyone
else in the country refers to it as "Quin-
see?"
There are 19 other Quincys in the
U.S., but they pronounce it "Quin-see."
Can they be right and we be wrong?
Not according to Quincy's late city
historian, William C. Edwards, who
never budged an inch whenever the ar-
gument ever came up. And it still comes
up.
The reason we pronounce it "Quin-
zee" is very simple.
"That's the way the Quincy family
pronounced it," he used to explain.
"The original Quincy family which
settled here at Mount Wollaston pro-
nounced it Quin-zee,' including Col.
John Quincy after whom Quincy,
Mass. — the first Quincy — was named in
1792."
Colonel Quincy was the great grand-
father of sixth President John Quincy
Adams.
Apparently, all 19 other Quincys in
the U.S. were named after John Quincy
Adams.
And, apparently the early settlers of
those communities thought John
Quincy pronounced it John "Quin-see. "
Anyway, that is how Edwards ex-
plained it.
Seems like a sound argument.

Designed B\; Henry Hobson Richardson
Thomas Crane Library
Architectural Beauty
He came to Quincy as a boy of
7, grew to young manhood on
a farm in Quincy Point, learned
the granite-cutters' trade, and
left at the age of 26 to win fame and for-
tune in stone in New York City.
That was the last Quincy heard of Tho-
mas Crane for half a century until one Feb-
ruary day in 1880, five years after his death,
when his son, Albert, appeared with
$20,000 with which to build a memorial —
preferably a library — to his father.
"My father always retained a strong feel-
ing for the town of Quincy, " was his only
explanation.
Albert Crane himself chose the man to
design the building, Henry Hobson
Richardson, grandson of the English scien-
tist Dr. Joseph Priestly and the foremost
architect of the day.
His reputation was so formidable that he
was able to tell Crane, "1 cannot guarantee
that the building, when completed, shall
conform to (your) ideas of beauty and taste,"
and still get the job.
Richardson's Romanesque building,
which now houses the reference section of
the library, was dedicated on May 30, 1882,
with the principal oration delivered by
Charles Francis Adams, Jr., chairman of the
Board of Trustees.
it was Adams who gave the library its
name. Albert Crane wanted it to be The
Quincy Free Public Library. " Adams insisted
on "The Thomas Crane Public Library."
"Who's giving the building? " asked Albert
Crane.
'"You are, but you wouldn't have if it
hadn't been for me, " said Adams, who was
used to having his way around Quincy. and
that was that.
President John Adams' modest collec-
tion of books was housed in the library until
1893, when it was discovered that in 11
years only two persons, one of them Charles
Francis Adams, Jr., had asked to see them.
They were then transferred to the Boston
Public Library.
At the start, Richardson's magnificent
building was all but hidden behind a grain
store, a hotel, an office building and four
homes that lined Washington St.
Albert Crane, however, was a persistent
man and, by the time he died in 1917, he
had purchased and torn down all the build-
ings, leaving a broad expanse of open space
to enhance the library.
But before the lawn could be seeded.
World War I intervened and, in a burst of
patriotism — "Food will win the war," they
said — the area was planted with potatoes,
tended by an expert brought in from Maine.
THOMAS CRANE PUBLIC LIBRARY
The experiment failed.
"There wasn't a potato in the lot that
was anywhere near as large as a golf ball. "
said Mayor Joseph L. Whiton. The harvest
was donated to the poor farm.
Albert Crane also put up $64,000 to
build the Spear St. wing of the lib-ary in
1907-08 and the Crane family gave yet
another $164,000 for the free standing
addition, built in 1938.
A new $ 1 8 million addition that almost
doubled the size of the existing library was
completed in the spring of 2001 with money
from the Crane endowment used to pur-
chase the property and the rest paid for with
a city bond issue.
The new wing was dedicated this year as
the Mayor James A. Sheets Building.
The Thomas Crane Public Library. 40 Washington St., is open to
the public, free of charge, Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 9
p.m., Fridays and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, 1 p.m.

First To Sign Declaration Of Independence
John Hancock's Bold Signature Symbol For Liberty
He was the least likely of all the
Founding Fathers to revolt
against the status quo of the late
18th century, the last man expected to
affix a bold signature to a declaration of
independence that has become a symbol
for defiance to totalitarian rule every-
where.
His folks were certain he would be a
minister, following in the footsteps of his
grandfather, who was called "the Bishop
of Lexington," and his father, the gentle
minister of the First Parish Church in the
North Precinct of Braintree (now Quincy.)
When Patrick Henry's call for "liberty
or death" went out, he was said to be the
wealthiest man in the wealthiest town
(Boston) in the 13 colonies, a man who
owned a Beacon Hill crowned by his man-
sion, whose merchant ships plied the seas,
whose warehouses bulged with the world's
treasures.
John Hancock was born in Quincy on
Jan. 12, 1737, on the site of what be-
came the Adams Academy, now the head-
quarters of the Quincy Historical Society,
little more than a stone's throw from the
church served by his father, the Rev. John
Hancock.
When he was 7, his father died, leav-
ing his mother, Mary, with three children
under 10 to raise, a formidable task in
those days. Fortunately, his uncle, Tho-
mas Hancock, the Merchant King of Bos-
JOHN HANCOCK
ton, childless and yearning for a son,
adopted John as his own and his future
was secure.
When Thomas died in 1764, young
John Hancock, then 27, became head of
the House of Hancock, a colonial con-
glomerate of real estate, shipping, ware-
housing, banking and anything else that
could be converted into cash to fill the
Hancock coffers.
John was living the good life of a mer-
chant prince when taxes imposed by a
far away parliament began cutting into his
profits, the Hancock sloop Liberty was
seized when most of its cargo of wine from
Madeira slipped in untaxed and Hancock
was accused of smuggling.
We've been around
since John Quincy
Adams was President.
(We offered great rates then too.)
We're proud to be a part of Quincy's rich history,
and hope to serve this community with excellent
rates and quality service for many years to come.
We're like family.
i^
With the aid of his attorney, John
Adams, Hancock was able to beat the
smuggling rap but the court ordered Lib-
erty forfeited and a short time later her
former owner emerged as a member of
the Sons of Liberty.
A newspaper of the time, The Massa-
chusetts Spy, in its report of the Boston
Tea Party, suggested that John Hancock
"was the first man that went aboard the
vessel to destroy the tea," but the claim is
doubtful and the men who, disguised as
Indians, threw the tea into the sea have
never been identified.
at the time, some say Hancock can be
referred to as the first president of the
United States.
In his one display of military prowess.
Major General John Hancock and his
Massachusetts Militiamen, 3,000 strong,
suffered an humiliating defeat in their at-
tempt to capture Newport, R. L, from the
British and Hancock went back to doing
what he did best.
And he was at his best in January,
1788, as president of the Massachusetts
state convention called to ratify the U. S.
Constitution, a process that was stalled
By 1775, Hancock was so deeply in-
volved in the spirit of revolution that the
British attempt to arrest him and Samuel
Adams in Lexington and confiscate the
rebel arms and munitions in Concord
erupted into the first battles of the Ameri-
can Revolution at Lexington green and
Concord bridge.
He was chosen one of five delegates
from Massachusetts to the first Continen-
tal Congress in Philadelphia but he pre-
ferred to stay behind in Boston to lead
the local patriots and, not incidentally,
mend his political fences while his rivals
were away.
He did attend the second Continental
Congress, however, and with the support
of George Washington himself, he was
chosen its president, a role he filled when
he signed the Declaration of Indepen-
dence first in script so large that King
George "can read my name without his
spectacles."
Since he was president of the Conti-
nental Congress when the Declaration
was signed and that created the United
States and there was no other president
in several states for want of adequate pro-
tections for the individuals, which the
Revolution was all about.
Hancock, suffering from the gout and
carried into the hall by servants, proposed
and guided to a 187 to 168 victory a se-
ries of nine "conciliatory amendments"
which later evolved into the Bill of Rights
and assured ratification of the Constitu-
tion by all.
Hancock was elected the first governor
of Massachusetts in 1780 but he resigned
five years later. He was elected again in
1787 and was still in office when he died
in 1793 at the age of 57, the end of his
line.
Unlike the Adams and Quincy clans,
he left no direct descendants. His mar-
riage to Dorothy Quincy, produced two
children, a daughter, Lydia, who died in
her first year, and a son, John George
Washington Hancock, who was killed in
a skating accident when he was 9.
John Hancock, onetime Merchant
Prince of Boston turned Founding Father,
left but a small estate.
He had spent most of his fortune fi-
nancing the Revolution.

By modern standards, the board-
ing house at the corner of
Hancock and Depot Sts. had
all the aspects of a genteel
prison.
Residents were forbidden to leave be-
tween 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. They could not
enter or leave at any time exept by the
hall door. They were banned from pool
halls and bars. Smoking materials also
were forbidden to them.
In exchange for good behavior, plus tu-
ition ranging from $75 to $150 a year,
they were given the best prep school edu-
cation of the day, for they were students
at Adams Academy, which flourished from
1872 to 1907 in Quincy.
The academy was a gift of John Adams,
the second President of the United States,
who always had his checkbook ready to
fill the spiritual and educational needs of
the citizens of his beloved Quincy.
The trust fund, nourished by "rents,
profits and emoluments" from certain
Adams-owned properties, was set up in
the Adams will of 1822, but it was not
until 1869 that the fund was deemed larege
enough to start construction.
The location was specified by Adams
himself as the corner of Adams and
Hancock Streets., site of the birthplace of
his childhood friend, John Hancock, the first
signer of the Declaration of Independence.
The doors opened to the first students,
24 of them, on Sept. 4, 1872. Five years
later, the academy reached a peak enroll-
ment of 154 with an international student
body — 25 from Quincy, four from Wash-
ington, D.C., 125 from 14 states, two from
England and one from Chile.
It had one of the earliest prep school foot-
ball teams, too, recording a tie with the Reso-
lutes of Boston on Oct. 21, 1876, a scant
seven years after Princeton and Rutgers
played the first college game. It whipped
Andover three times from 1877-79.
The admissions catalogue specified that
applicants be "well prepared in the usual
studies of good grammar school" and
warned that "no pupils are desired to give
them a collegiate education."
The best known headmaster was Dr.
William Everett, once acclaimed as one of
the seven smartest men in the world. He
ran the academy with a firm hand from
1878 to 1893 and again from 1897 to
ADAMS ACADEMY is at John Hancock Square, and now home of
the Quincy Historical Society. Quinci; Sun Photo/Robert Noble
1907. From 1893 to 1897, he was a U.S.
congressman from Lynn.
Dr. Everett, an amiable if sometimes
waspish eccentric, was widely known as
the man who hated Abraham Lincoln. He
had reason. His father was Edward Everett,
whose masterful oration at Gettysburg was
over-shadowed by Lincoln's notes scribbled
on the back of an envelope.
It was Dr. Everett, who signaled the pass-
ing of Adams Academy — and many other
19th Century classical prep schools — at
graduation exercises in 1907 when he said
that "unless someone comes forward and
planks down $50,000, the academy will
be closed."
Nobody did. On June 22. 1907. the
Adams Academy officially closed its doors.
The building today is occupied by the Quincy Historical Society,
which maintains a museum and research library in the old class-
rooms as well as an expanded gift shop.
The museum and gift shop are open all year, Monday through
Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The library is open Monday and
Wednesday from 9 a.m. to noon. Other times by appointment. Call

Citi; Hall
Seat Of Government
For 164 Years
Daniel and Hannah French
deeded the land to the town
of Quincy for $1,000 with
the stipulation that it "shall
not be used for any other purpose than
as a place for a Town House and for the
said inhabitants."
And, with a few minor transgressions
of that vow, the solid structure of Quincy
granite on Quincy Square has been just
that for the past 164 years, the nerve cen-
ter of government for the town and then
the city.
It was the great hall on the second floor
that the popular John Quincy Adams II,
grandson of a President of the United
States, held forth as town moderator for
many years and, with his brother, Charles
Francis Adams Jr, gave informal direc-
tion to town affairs.
One of the earliest ordinances passed
by the first City Council on March 8, 1889
was the adoption of the City Seal embla-
zoned with the four most significant dates
in Quincy's history:
1625, for the first settlement on
Mount Wollaston; 1640, for its separa-
tion from Boston as the town of Braintree;
1792, for its separation from Braintree
as the town of Quincy; and 1888, for its
incorporation as a city.
CITY HALL
Designed by the architect Solomon
Willard — who received $280 for draw-
ing up the plans and superintending con-
struction for five months — the City Hall
was completed and occupied for the first
time on Nov. 1, 1844.
It cost exactly $ 19, 1 15.93 to build, in-
cluding 88 cents to John Briesler for lead
to seal the chimney.
In 1979, when a three and a half story
reflective glass addition was built behind
the old City Hall, the cost was $1.9 mil-
lion.

Abigail Adams Cairn
The Smoke Could Be
Seen Over Bunker Hill
Abigail Adams was awakened at
dawn in the farmhouse at the foot
of Penn's Hill by the sound of far-
off guns. All through the sweltering morn-
ing of June 17, 1775, as she hustled about
with the chores, the dull boom of cannon
intruded on her consciousness.
Riders on the Coast Road to Plymouth,
stopping at the farmhouse for a drink of
water, told her of a great battle underway
on Breed's Hill in Charlestown.
One of them brought word that Dr. Jo-
seph Warren had been killed in the fight-
ing and little Abby, age 10, burst into
tears, and John Quincy, nearly 8, felt
bewildered and sad, for Dr. Warren was
the Adams family doctor in Boston.
In the afternoon, Abigail could stand it
no longer. Taking Abby and John Quincy
by the hand, she walked up the Coast
Road to the top of Penn's Hill and climbed
up on the rocks for a better view.
The panorama of the Bay, a shimmer-
ing blue in the sunshine, spread out be-
fore them, the tiny houses on the three
hills of Boston and, beyond, the black
smoke rising in billows.
"Good God," exclaimed Abigail, "they
are burning Charlestown!"
The scene etched itself forever in John
Quincy's memory.
The early days of the Revolution were
times of turmoil in Old Braintree and its
North Precinct, which was later called
Quincy.
Abigail's husband, John, was away
most of the time at the Continental Con-
gress in Philadelphia, leaving 31-year-old
Abigail to manage the farm and look to
the needs of four small children: Abigail,
John Quincy, Charles, 5, and Thomas
Boylston, 3.
There were days of alarm as the Brit-
ish, penned up in Boston by the brand
new Continental Army, foraged up and
down the coast for supplies. Refugees
from occupied Boston and the inner
towns of Dorchester and Roxbury some-
times slept in the kitchen and in the fields.
As the wife of a member of Congress,
Abigail was a center of attention. The
house on the Coast Road was a favorite
stopping place for travelers to Plymouth.
Politicians up from Philadelphia made it
a point to stop by for a visit with John
Adams' wife.
Abigail was invited to visit Gen. George
Washington's headquarters at Winter Hill.
The aristocratic Washington was suspect
among New Englanders. He was a Vir-
ABIGAIL ADAMS CAIRN
(Quinc\; Sun Photo/Noreen O'Shea)
ginian; he was an Anglican; and, it was
said, he held slaves. But John Adams liked
him and Abigail was soon charmed.
One day, young John Quincy came
home to find his Uncle Elihu melting down
Abigail's pewter spoons in the kitchen to
make bullet molds. He looked at his
mother and she looked back at him and
something indefinable passed between
them.
"Do you wonder," wrote the sixth Presi-
dent of the United States some 68 years
later, "that a boy of 7 who witnessed this
scene should be a patriot. "
In 1896, where the old Coast Road (now Franklin Street) meets
Vklen Road atop Penn's Hill, a stone cairn was buih to mark the spot
where Abigail and young John Quincy watched the Battle of Bunker
Hill. It is open to the public and free of charge.

John Adams 'Father'
U.S., State Constitution Both Born Here
By TOM HENSHAW
uincy, birthplace of John Adams,
John Quincy Adams and John
Hancock, also has claim to the
'the U.S. Constitution.
The seed for this precious document
was planted here.
The U.S. Constitution was modeled
after the Massachusetts Constitution
which was written by John Adams,
Samuel Adams and James Bowdoin in
Adams' law office of the John Quincy
Adams birthplace in Quincy.
There is every reason to believe that
John Adams did not want to go the Mas-
sachusetts Constitution Convention in
Cambridge in 1779.
He missed his wife, Abigail, terribly,
and she him.
The American colonies, newly reborn
as the United States of America, were
going through the most dismal period of
the War for Independence. Inflation was
rampant: butcher's meat, a dollar to eight
shillings a pound; flour, fifty dollars a hun-
John Adams attended the opening ses-
sion of the Constitutional Convention in
Cambridge on Wednesday, June 1, 1779.
On Saturday, he was named to a com-
mittee of 30 to prepare the declaration
of rights and the constitution. On Mon-
day, the committee delegated the task to
a subcommittee of three, John and
Samuel Adams; and James Bowdoin.
Thus it was that John Adams wound
up in the law office of his home at the
foot of Penn's Hill, paired with his fire-
brand cousin, Sam, and his ailing friend,
James Bowdoin, to write a Constitution
for Massachusetts.
The patient, hard-working John
Adams, of course, did most of the work.
"I was by the Convention put upon the
Committee — by the Committee upon the
subcommittee — and by the subcommittee
appointed a sub subcommittee — so that I
had the honor to be principal Engineer, "
he wrote to his friend, Edmund Jennings.
Payroll records indicate that he was paid
90 pounds for his work.

(Photo Courtes}; of The Quinci^ Historical Societ}^)
The so-called "Adams draft" of the
Massachusetts Constitution was accepted
by the Convention with a few alterations
but by that time John Adams was long
gone back to Europe, this time to help
negotiate a treaty of peace with Britain
and serve as America's first minister to
London. He did not see the farm at the
foot of Penn's Hill again for another eight
years.
But he was immensely heartened by
these words from the pen of his ever-lov-
ing Abigail, written on Oct. 15, 1780:
"Our Massachusetts Constitution is
read with admission in New York and pro-
nounced by the Royal Governor as the
best republican form he ever saw."

Josiah Quincy House
Lookout For Spying On British Ships
Abigail Adams stood with her
great-uncle, Col. Josiah
Quincy, in a window of his
mansion overlooking
Wollaston Beach and watched the tall
masts of 170 ships stand slowly out to
sea. It was March 17, 1776. The British
were evacuating Boston.
But even in triumph there was tragedy.
Aboard the departing ships were more
than 1,000 Loyalists, Americans who had
chosen King above country, and one of
them was Abigail's cousin, Samuel Quincy,
the Colonel's only remaining son, an
avowed Tory.
"I take a long farewell," his sister,
Hannah, wrote to him for one last time.
"Let it not be published that a brother of
such brothers fled from his country. Can
you expect to walk uprightly now? Can you
take fire in your bosom and not be burned?"
Two of Col. Josiah Quincy's sons had
died young. Now he had no more.
But there was no time for regrets. The
work of revolution had begun. The second
floor of the house at what is now 20
Muirhead St., Wollaston, was a lookout from
which the 66-year-old Colonel spied on
British ship movements for his friend. Gen.
George Washington.
A few months before, Col. Quincy
watched the Royal Governor, Gen. Tho-
mas Gage depart and he scratched on a
pape of window glass the reminder: "Oct.
10, 1775, General Gage sailed for England
with a fair wind."
This time he remained in the window
for three days as the British tall ships moved
restlessly about the Harbor as if reluctant to
leave. Finally, on March 20, the last of them
passed through the roadstead and out to
sea.
The mansion in Wollaston reached full
social flower under the aegis of the Colonel's
grandson, the third Josiah, the 'Great
Mayor" of Boston, president of Harvard and
Congressman, who called it "Tranquillia"
and used it as his summer home.
It was there that the Marquis de Lafayette
visited one Sunday afternoon after dinner
with his friend, ex-President John Adams
at the Adams Mansion. He carried flowers
from the Adams garden for Mrs. Eliza Su-
san Quincy and her five attractive daugh-
ters.
The house was built in 1770 by the old
Colonel himself, the first in a line of six
Josiahs. It was said that, while most fami-
lies passed their line from sire to son, the
Quincys went from Siah to Siah.
But, while there were six Josiahs and in-
numerable Edmunds, the city was named
for yet another member of the prolific fam-
ily — Col. John Quincy, the great-grandfa-
ther of John Quincy Adams, sixth president
of the United States.
The house, which was painted yellow for
JOSIAH QUINCY HOUSE in Wollaston recently underwent a paint change
from yellow to beige to reflect more accurately how the house, a National
Histcric Landmark, looked in the 1880s when historian Eliza Susan Quincy
began to organize historical information on the house.

many years, recently underwent a conver-
sion to beige to more accurately reflect how
it looked in the 1880s when another Biza
Susan Quincy, a historian, began to
chronicle information pertaining to the
house and family.
Eliza Susan kept journals, inventoried the
contents of the house and persuaded rela-
tives to return heirlooms so that the house
could becomne a museum of Quincy fam-
ily history. Her work initiated the process
that led to the preservation of the house by
the Society for the Society for the Preser-
vation of New England Antiquities (SPNEA).

John Adams' July 4th Toast:
I WUl Give You
Independence Forever'
The centerpiece of the
display in the second floor
study at the Old House is
John Adams' favcnte arm-
chair in which he was
stricken with his final illness
and offered his last testa-
ment as a Founding Father.
On June 30, 1826, four
days before the nation was
to celebrate the 50th anni-
versary of the Declaration of
Independence, the Rev.
George Whitney and his
Quincy Committee of Ar-
rangements called on
Adams.
The 90-year-old former president, who
played such a vital role in the composi-
tion and passage of the Declaration, was
asked to join the committee at dinner.
Regretfully, the ailing old patriot declined.
Then he was asked to propose a toast
JOHN ADAMS
for the dinner.
"I will give you: 'Inde-
pendence Forever!'" he
said.
Would he like to add to
that?
"Not a syllable," said the
old man.
Four days later, at 6:20
in the afternoon, as can-
non roared and bells rang
out to celebrate a half cen-
tury of independence,
John Adams was dead.
On the morning of July
4, a letter went off to John
Quincy Adams in Washington that his
father was at death's door but, due to the
slow communications of the day, he did
not get the message for several days.
The sixtli president of the United States
was en route home to Quincy July 9 when
he got word of his father's death.

WWII Famed Figure
Kilroy Was Here'
At Quincy Shipyard
"Kilroy was here!"
It seemed like the words were every-
where 62 years ago.
They greeted the first American GIs to
arrive at the Imperial Palace in war-torn
Tokyo in the late summer of 1945 and
they mystified Stalin in the men's room
at Yalta.
"Kilroy was here!"
He really wasn't but in a way he was.
it all began in 1942 in Bethlehem
Steel's Fore River Shipyard in Quincy
where James J. Kilroy was employed as
a checker whose job it was to count the
number of holes filled by a riveter.
Kilroy' s job was important to the rivet-
ers since they were paid by the number
of rivets they drove. Kilroy would go
around and count them and check each
with a chalk mark.
Some riveters would wait until the
checker had gone and then erase the last
chalk mark. Another checker would count
the rivet a second time and the riveter
would get paid twice for the same work.
One day, Kilroy overheard his boss ask
a riveter if Kilroy had checked a certain
rivet. No, said the riveter. That made
Kilroy mad because he knew he had
checked that particular rivet.
He grabbed a piece of chalk, went over
to where the two men were standing and
scribbled "Kilroy was here! " in large, bold
letters right next to the check mark. It soon
became his standard practice.
Ordinarily, the chalk mark would be
covered up by paint. But this was war-
time and some ships left the Yard too fast
to be fully painted.
The enigmatic 'Kilroy was here!" be-
K'<i H^^'
Quincy Adams Yacht Yard
gan appearing all over the world, joined
by a drawing of a long-nosed character
peering over a wall.
The mysterious message fascinated
GIs. Soon they began writing it themselves
on walls in the most unlikely places, like
the Imperial Palace in Tokyo and the
men's room at Yalta.
"Who is Kilroy?" asked Stalin as he
came out wiping his hands.
Eventually, as "Remember Pearl Har-
bor" stood for America's fighting men in
World War II and the men and women
who built the war machines for them, so
did "Kilroy was here! " come to stand for
them too.
The Fore River Shipyard was not the
only shipbuilding facility in Quincy that
helped to win World War II
There was also the Quincy Adams
Yacht Yard on the Town River in
Germantown, which turned from build-
ing private yachts when war broke out to
constructing wooden-hulled submarine
chasers.
At one time, the yacht yard was turn-
ing out SC-boats at the rate of two a
month toi help destroy the German U-
boat menace and win the Battle of the
North Atlantic and preserve the supply
line to Britain.
The yard won the coveted Navy "E"
for excellence six times.
Thomas Watson Wins
New Shipyard Bridge
The narrow wooden bridge that So Watson not only lobbied for a new
spanned the Fore River at its mouth bridge but won the contract to build it in
proved to be an early impediment to build- 1902 in time for the cruiser Des Moines

Hancock's Other Declaration: 'I Love You And You Alone'
An aura of romance surrounds the
stately old house that is set back
in the trees from the corner of
Hancock Street and Butler Road on the
banks of Furnace Brook.
There is the wallpaper with the blue
cupids and pink flowers that was imported
from France for the wedding of Dorothy
Quincy, the vivacious daughter of the
house, to Quincy-born John Hancock, a
patriot on the run with a price on his head.
There are the words "You 1 Love and
You Alone, " addressed by Hancock to his
beloved Dorothy and scratched on a win-
dow pane with his diamond ring just be-
fore he fled to Lexington on the eve of
the Revolution.
And there are the secret chambers and
passageways, used, it was said, to hide
fugitive patriots during the Revolution and
at an earlier date, even certain English-
men fleeing a charge of regicide in the
death of King Charles 1.
It is for those reasons, and its combined
Colonial, Georgian and Victorian style,
that the old house was elevated in 2005
to the status of a National Historic Land-
mark possessing "national significance in
commemorating the history of the United
States. "
Parts of the house were built in 1685
by Col. Edmund Quincy, the second of
the name, on land that was granted to an
earlier Edmund in 1638. The major part
was built in 1706 by Edmund the third.
(There were six Edmunds in all, four in a
direct line, two nephews).
The house was the social center of old
Braintree during the regime of the fourth
Edmund, largely because he sired five
beautiful daughters around whom swirled
a whole future generation of judges, gen-
erals and merchant kings.
The undisputed belle of the household
was Dorothy, the coquettish youngest of
the eight Quincy children,, whose troth
was soon plighted to John Hancock, the
wealthy young businessman from Boston
who was already becoming known as a
leader of the rebels.
Tradition has it that they were to have
been married in the north parlor of the
Quincy omestead with its French cupid
wallpaper when Revolution intervened
and John had to flee with the British regu-
lars on his heels.
Ecentually, they were wed Aug. 28,
1775, at the home of Thaddeus Burr,
uncle of Aaron Burr (later vice president
of the United States and slayer of
Alexander Hamilton in a duel) in Fairfield.
Conn.
After the Revolution and the death of
Edmund the fourth in 1788 the old house
passed from the Quincy family. The
Hancocks wanted nothing to do with it.
Their only son, John George Washing-
ton Hancock, was killed in a skating acci-

dent at age 9 while on a visit in 1787. (Quinci^ Sun Photo/Noreen O'Shea)
The house was acquired in 1904 by the
Massachusetts Society of Colonial Dames, mark, the next step for the Dorothy
who restored it with vintage furniture,
utensils and clothing, and gave it to the
state with the proviso that the Dames
continue to run it.
Now that it is a National Historic Land-
Quincy Homestead will be acceptance by
the National Park Service as part of the
Adams National Historical Park alongside
the Adams Birthplaces and the Adams
Mansion.
The Dorothy Quincy Homestead at the comer of Hancock St. and Butler
Rd. is open to the public on Saturdays, July 12, Aug. 16 and Sept. 13 from
1 to 4 p.m. Tours start every hour and half hour until 3:30 p.m. Special

John Quincy Adams: 6th President And A Lot More
(Continued From Page 8)
Treaty, under which Gen. Andrew
Jackson's attacks on the Seminole Indi-
ans in Spanish Florida were justified and
the whole peninsula ceded to the United
States in exchange for a settlement of the
boundary between Mexico and the Loui-
siana Purchase.
Five strong candidates — all Democrat-
Republicans — emerged for the 1824
presidential race.
There was Henry Clay, the speaker of
the House; William Crawford, the secre-
tary of the treasury; John Calhoun, the
secretary of war; Adams; and Jackson,
the Tennessean hero of the Battle of New
Orleans and the spokesman of the great
unwashed.
Jackson won the popular vote,
155,872 to 105,321 for Adams and the
electoral vote with 99 to 84 for Adams,
41 for Crawford and 39 for Clay but, since
no one had a majority, the election was
thrown into the Congress which selected
Adams.
Reaction to his first message to Con-
gress, a bid to expand the presidential
powers far beyond what some saw as their
Constitutional limits, showed clearly that
the so-called Era of Good Feeling in the
Madison and Monroe Administrations was
over.
His most virulent opposition came from
the South whenever one of his proposals
was thought to impinge upon the "pecu-
liar institution" of slavery and his early
opposition to the removal of the Creek
Indians to land west of the Mississippi,
By the time the four years of his ad-
ministration had passed, the Democrat-
Republicans had split into Democrats and
National Republicans and Jackson, "the
people "s president," had trounced Adams
in the electoral college 178 to 83,
Although Adams tried to steer clear of
the worst parts, the 1828 campaign was
so dirty, chiefly in its attacks on Jackson's
wife, Rachel, that the president-elect re-
fused to meet with the outgoing president
before his inauguration.
Consequently, Adams's like his father
before him, refused to attend his
successor's inauguration, the only two
presidents to do so.
He took a year to rest, then ran for the
House from the South Shore District,
Now running as a Whig, he easily defeated
a Democrats and a Federalist for the post,
which rejuvenated his interest in public
service.
Some say John Quincy's best work was
done in the interests of human rights af-
ter he left the White House in 1829. it
included a vote of censure in the House
of Representatives, which was defeated
by a vote of 105 to 80.
At the age of 74. he took on the case
of 35 Africans, kidnapped in their home-
land and bound for slavery in Cuba, and
waxed so eloquent before the Supreme
SIXTH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
THE JOHN i^UINCY ADAMS $1 coin, the sixth in the Presidential Coin
Series, was released here May 15 at the National Park Service Visitors
Center, Quincy Center. The coin honoring his father, second President
John Adams, was issued last year. All the Presidents are being honored in
the order in which they served.
A Third Generation
Continues Our Traditions.
Quincy has changed a great deal since Sweeney Flineral Home was
established in 1917. But, it's nice to know some things will never change.
Like the observance of traditional values and customs.
At Sweeney Funeral Homes, older residents are quick to notice the
subtle reminders of yesteryear, such as the grey gloves our funeral
director still wears. Like the characteristic top hat and tails that our
founder, Dennis Sweeney, wore over 30 years ago, they reflect our
Tradition. One that has been built on a dignified and instinctive concern
for the city's bereaved families for three generations.
Todav, our founder's grand-nephew, Dennis S. Sweeney has
continued the family's philosophy of maintaining a beautiful, homc-Hke
atmosphere.
And like his namesake, who started pre-arrangements in the 1940s,
Dennis believes in helping residents to plan for the future. Pre-planning
means that this financial decision is not left for a family to decide while
they are attempting to cope with a major personal loss. It's a difficult
time, a time wnen family members are least able to make the wisest
choice.
Sweeney Funeral Homes has been helping South Shore residents
with difficult decisions for over 70 years. Call Dennis Sweeney at
(617) 773-2728 for a free consultation. There's no time like the present.

It was passed in 1836 and he fought it

First Competitive Aeromeet Here In 1910
Amelia Earhart, Harriet Quimby Pioneers
By SHARRON BEALS
Quincy plunged into the new and chal-
lenging world of aviation less than seven
years after the Wright brothers proved,
on a windy Carolina beach, that heavier-
than-air craft could fly.
The site was a 500-acre tract of former
farmland called "New Squantum," leased
by the Harvard-Boston Aero Association
and opened Aug. 8, 1910, as the Harvard
Aviation Field.
Most of the great ones of the early days
of flying showed up at Squantum at one
time or another, including the Wright
brothers themselves, Claude Graham-
White, Richard E. Byrd and the First La-
dies of the Air, Harriet Quimby and
Amelia Earhart.
Quimby was the first American woman
to qualify for a pilot's license in 1911 and
the second in the world (Helene Dutrieu
of France was the first) and the first
woman to fly across the English Chan-
nel.
Earhart, who once had a financial in-
terest in a private airport at Squantum,
was the first woman to solo across the
Atlantic and was trying to be the first
around the world when she vanished over
the Pacific in 1937.
The first competitive air show in the
United States was organized by the
Harvard Aero Society Sept. 3-10, 1910,
and it drew 22 flyers and 17 aircraft as
competitors and President William
Howard Taft as one of 150,000 specta-
tors.
Star of the meet was the Brit, Graham-
White, who brought two airplanes, a
Bleriot monoplane and a Far man biplane,
and won $10,000 offered by the Boston
Globe for a hazardous double round trip
to Boston Light. He also sweetened the
pot by taking passengers on short flights
for $500 each.
The 1913 Harvard Meet was to have
featured a competition between Quimby
and Blanche Scott, the first American
woman to fly a plane, for the honor of
flying the first air mail flight to New York.
Instead, it ended tragically.
Quimby, showing off her new two-seat
Bleriot monoplane, took Meet Director
William A.F. Willard for a flight around
Boston Light. Returning, the plane sud-
denly nosed over and Quimby and Willard
fell out, dropping to their deaths in
Dorchester Bay 1,000 feet below.
Only then was it revealed that Quimby
had already been chosen to fly the mail
to New York for the first time.
The Navy took over the field in
Squantum in 1917 and established the
US Naval Training School, with Lt. (jg)
Earl Spencer in command, to train young
men in the fast developing art of flying
HARRIET QUIMBY
airplanes.
Spencer and his wife, the former Wallis
Warfield, the Belle of Baltimore, lived on
Davis Street in Wollaston, where neigh-
bors thought she was a bit stuck up and
snobbish and nicknamed her "the Duch-
ess."
Twenty years later, twice divorced, she
gained a real title, the Duchness of
AMELIA EARHART
Windsor, when she married the former
King Edward VIII of England, who gave
up his throne "for the woman I love."
Squantum "s first reign as a training field
didn't last long once the Navy discovered
that the best use of the land was as a ship-
yard for the building of destroyers to break
the German U-Boat blockade of the At-

Neighbors Had A Nickname
Duchess Of Windsor
A Former Resident
By HENRY BOSWORTH
No, the Duchess of Windsor was not a
Quincy girl but she lived here for a time
long be-fore King Edward VIII gave up the
British throne "for the woman I love."
She lived in Wollaston in 1917 while
she was married to her first husband, a
young lieutenant stationed at a Naval air
school in Squantum, which later became
the Squantum Naval Air Station..
The Massachusetts Naval Militia main-
tained a training field in what is now the
Marina Bay area which was taken over
by the First Naval District as a school to
train young aviators to fly the new-fangled
airplanes
Assigned as head of the school was Lt.
Earle W. Spencer.
He was married to the former Wallis
Warfield, the Baltimore belle who later,
as a twice-divorced woman, became the
Duchess of Windsor when she wed the
king who abdicated his throne for her love.
The match touched off a crisis in En-
glish royalty. Some thought the king
should be allowed to marry her and keep
his title as long as she did not become
queen. But stronger opposition prevailed
DUCHESS OF WINDSOR
and he stepped down.
They were married on June 3, 1937,
While living in Quincy, Mr. and Mrs.
Spencer resided in a second floor apart-
ment on Davis Street in Wollaston.
Legend has it that her neighbors in
1917 thought she was somewhat stuck
up and snobbish.
In fact, they nicknamed her "the Duch-
ess.

John And Abigail
A Unique Historic Team
(Continued From Page 3)
former presidents were reconciled in their
later years.
Abigail died of a stroke in 1818 after
54 years marriage and it was as if John
himself had departed with her.
"The bitterness of death is past," he
wrote. "The grim spoiler so terrible to
human nature has no sting left for me."
Both John and Thomas Jefferson, his
fellow Founding Father and rival, died on
July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence, Jefferson
a few hours before Adams.
John and Abigail, along with their son,
John Quincy, and his wife, Louisa
Catherine, are entombed in the crypt of
United First Parish Church.
A bronze statue of Abigail at about the
age of 32 and John Quincy at 10 stand
beside the church, looking at the statue
of John Adams across Hancock Street in
front of City Hall.
And the story of Abigail and John was
recounted by HBO television in a seven-
part mini-series in the spring of 2008.

in color and what Abigail wanted Abigail
got.
In the summer of 1980. , during a six
year $175,000 reconstruction project, the
John Quincy Adams Birthplace was re-
painted to Abigail's taste, the "stone"
color determined to be a sort of off-white,
mixed especially from a late 18th century
formula.
The John Adams Birthplace was
painted white, but later research indicated
it was unpainted.
The houses are furnished with precise
reproductions of those that were in the
them when the second president lived
there. The originals are at the Old House,
the Adams National Historical Site, from
which they cannot be removed under the

USS Quincy Took FDR To Yalta
Quincy Ships Played Major Role In WWII
By TOM HENSHAW
A Naval office named Chester
Nimitz was briefly a resident of
Quincy in 1913 while waiting for
his submarine to be fitted at the
Fore River Shipyard. He re-
mained long enough to marry a
Wollaston girl, Catherine Vance
Freeman, daughter of a former
city councillor.
When, shortly after the great-
est American naval disaster at
Pead Harbor, Nimitz was named
commander of all American na-
val forces in the Pacific,
Catherine congratulated her hus-
band on taking over the fleet.
"But, my dear," he replied.
"The fleet's at the bottom of the
sea."
That was the Quincy
shipyard's cue to roll up its col-
lective sleeves and get cracking.
Starting on Dec. 7, 1941, and
for the next three years, its work-
ers turned out 88 ships, ranging
from LSTs (landing ship tanks) to
CVs (aircraft carriers), an aver-
age of one every 12 1/2 days.
Quincy-built warships, at least
one of them nearly 30 years old,
fought in battles on the high seas
all over the globe in World War
II. Two of them were heavy cruis-
ers named for the city of their
birth, the USS Quincy,
The first Quincy went down
Aug. 9, 1942, big guns blazing,
in the Battle of Save Island, pro-
tecting the Marines' landing on
Guadalcanal. The second carried
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
to his Big Three meeting in Feb-
ruary 1945, with Winston
Churchill and Joseph Stalin at
Yalta.
The first Quincy, launched
June 19, 1935, was on peace-
time convoy duty between
Capetown, South Africa, and the
Caribbean island of Trinidad
when the Japanese attacked
Pearl Harbor and virtually de-
stroyed America's Pacific fleet.
She was dispatched to the
South Pacific in the summer of
1942 and was on patrol in the
channel off Guadalcanal in the
early morning hours of Aug. 9
when she was attacked by a large
enemy naval force and sunk af-
ter taking many direct hits. The
final message from the stricken
ship was one of defiance:
"We're down between them —
give 'em hell!"
News of the sinking struck
hard at the men and women of
the Fore River Shipyard, who
had just begun work on a heavy
cruiser to be, called St. Paul.
They petitioned Washington to
change the name to Quincy and
FRANKUN D. ROOSEVELT
THE USS QUINCY, built in 1943, the second heavy cruiser to bear the name, had
a prominent role in World War II, including shelling the Normandy coast during
D-Day in 1944 and bombarding the Japanese homeland. In between, she took
President Franklin D. Roosevelt to the Yalta Conference in 1945. The first USS
Quincy was sunk in the Battle of Savo Island in 1942.

it was done.
The second Quincy, launched
June 23, 1943, was one of the
scores of warships built by
Bethlehem's Fore River Yard,
w'iich employed 32,000 men
and women, more than the en-
tire population of the town of
Braintree at the time, in its
Quincy and Hingham locations
at their peak, Jan. 15, 1943.
After a brief respite to take
Roosevelt to Yalta, it was back
to war for Quincy, supporting
carrier strikes on Okinawa and
the Japanese home islands, fi-
nally entering Tokyo Bay on
Sept. 1 in time to be present
when the Japanese surrendered
aboard the battleship Missouri,
ending World War II.
The historic shipyard in
Quincy Point was founded two
miles upriver in Braintree in
1884 as the Fore River Engine
Company by Thomas A.
Watson, the same man who
heard Alexander Graham Bell's
first words on the first telephone
— "Watson, some here, I want
you."
The company was formed to
make marine engines but the
demand for private yachts was
so strong that Watson was forced
to move downriver in 1900 to
Quincy where the river was
wider, the channel deeper and
more suited to launch ships.
As early as 1898, the yard be-
gan building ships for the U. S.
Navy, with keels laid for the de-
stroyers Lawrence and
MacDonough, a contract in hand
for the cruiser Des Moines and
two more pending for the battle-
ships Rhode Island and New Jer-
sey.
Another one of those early
ships was Nevada, delivered in
1916, which fought its way
through two world wars, survived
Pearl Harbor and the A-Bomb
test at Bikini Atoll and finally had
to be sunk by a friendly torpedo.
An adjunct facility called the
Victory Plant had to be built to
handle the U. S. Navy's overflow
during World War I and together
the yards turned out 35 destroy-
ers in 27 months, more than all
the other shipyards in the coun-
try combined, including USS
Reid, built in a record 41 1/2
days from keel-laying to delivery.
It was a shipyard annex in
Hingham, five miles away down
the coast, that workers set
records in World War II by build-
ing the destroyer HMS Reynolds
in 24 1/2 working days and de-
livering five ships to the Navy in
50 hours.
The battleship USS Massachu-
setts, "Big Mamie," delivered
May 12, 1942, took part in some
35 engagements during the war,
including the sinking of the might
Vichy French battleship Jean
Bart at Casablanca before she
would be turned over to the Ger-
mans.
The aircraft carrier Wasp,
launched from the Fore River
ways April 4, 1939, was escort-
ing transports of Marine rein-
forcements to Guadalcanal on
Sept. 16. 1942. when two tor-
pedoes from the Japanese sub-
marine 1-19 struck her in the vi-
cinity of her gas tanks and maga-
zines.
Another carrier, already
abuilding at the Quincy yard and
designated USS Oriskany, was
renamed Wasp and sent off to
war Nov. 24, 1943, taking part
in the Battle of Leyte Gulf and
assaults on the Marianas, Iwo
Jima, Okinawa and the Japanese
home islands.
The carrier Lexington, laid
down as a battle cruiser but com-
pleted as the US Navy's second
aircraft carrier in 1925, was at
sea when the Japanese attacked
Pearl Harbor but, less than six
months later, she fell to an en-
emy torpedo in the Battle of the
Coral Sea.
As with Wasp, a carrier already
on the ways in Quincy and ready
to be dubbed USS Cabot, was
renamed Lexington and commis-
sioned Feb. 17, 1943, in time
to fight through the central Pa-
cific and launch its planes into
the action that became known as
"the Great Marianas Turkey
Shoot."
From the heights in World War
II, the once busy Fore River Ship-
yard fell on post-war hard times,
building mostly tankers and
freighters with an occasional con-
tract for a submarine, destroyer
or frigate. But every now and
then it was called on to construct
something new and interesting.
Like the world's heaviest ship,
the 106,500-ton tanker Manhat-
tan, launched in 1962, the fast-
est and most powerful super-
tanker, which was later converted
into the world's largest ice-
breaker for a trip through the Ca-
nadian Arctic with one barrel of
oil to prove that oil from Alaska's
North Slope could be transported
by sea.
Or the fleet oilers Redstone.
Vanguard and Mercury, con-
verted into instrumentation ships
in 1966 to track missiles on the
firing range, but also used to fol-
low the progress of the Apollo
spacecraft as they circle the earth
in orbit and raced to the moon.
Or the world's first nuclear-
powered surface combat ship,
the cruiser Long Beach,
launched in 1961, and the
world's second, the frigate
Bainbridge in 1962. They were
among the last ships built by
Bethlehem at the shipyard before
it was sold to General Dynam-
ics.
The most notable ship con-
struction contracts undertaken
during the 13 years General Dy-
namics operated the shipyard
were the ten 436-foot liquefied
natural gas (LNG) tankers with
their great bulbous tanks that
were built elsewhere and hoisted
aboard the ship by the Goliath
Crane that became a shipyard
landmark.
For the record, the last ship
built by General dynamics at the
86-yard-old Quincy shipyard was
the maritime prepositioning ship
Sgt. William R. Button. That was
in 1986. Then General Dynam-
ics shut the door.

Ruth Gordon, Howard Johnson,
Lee Remick, Billy DeWolfe Born Here
Teachers dubbed the Class of 1914 the
"worst class" ever at Quincy High School
because no one made the honor roll. Too
bad they couldn't have looked ahead to
the future of Ruth G. Jones.
A year later, armed with a new name,
Ruth Gordon, she was on a train bound
for New York with a year's tuition to the
American Academy of Dramatic Arts and
$50 in spending money pinned to her cor-
set.
Ruth Gordon went on to fame and for-
tune as an actress on the Broadway stage
and the Hollywood movie studios and as a
writer of short stories and plays with her
husband, Garson Kanin.
She won an Academy Award as best sup-
porting actress in 1969 for her role as a
Satanist in "Rosemary's Baby," and an
Emmy in 1979 for her one-time role in the
sitcom "Taxi. "
Ruth Gordon never forgot her roots in
Quincy, returning frequently to atterxi class
reunions. Her last visit was in 1984 for the
dedication of the Ruth Gordon Amphithe-
ater in Merrymount Park.
She died in 1985 at the age of 88.

His name too was Jones, William Andrew
Jones, and, as a teen-aged usher in the old
Quincy Theater, where vaudeville persisted
into the 1920s, he used to dream of per-
forming himself.
But Billy Jones was such a common
name, he thought, so he borrowed the name
of the Quincy Theater manager and as Billy
DeWolfe he became a dancer and comic in
movies on TV.
He visited his old home town almost yearly
and when he died in 1974 at the age of 67.
he was buried in the Jones family plot in
Mount Wollaston Cemetery.

The year was 1925 when 27-year-old
Howard Johnscm, a failure as a cigar sales-
man, took over a rundown drug store with a
newspaper franchise and a marble soda foun-
tain on Beale Street in Wollaston.
Soon he began making his own ice cream
— 28 flavors eventually — and then he had
a seaside snack shack on Wollaston Beach
Boulevard and a restaurant in the tallest build-
ing in downtown Quincy.
Just then, by coincidence, Eugene
O'Neill's latest play, "Strange Interlude," was
banned in Boston so the producers moved it
to the Quincy Theater, just up Hancock Street
from the Howard Johnson restaurant in the
then Granite Trust Bank.
It was a long play, so the sellout audiences
were given an hour and a half dinner break
at intermission so the place to go was
Johnson's restaurant where the special,
chicken pies, were $1 apiece.
Eventually, Howard Johnson-franchised
restaurants and motels, with their familiar
orange roofs, spanned the continent, truly,
in their own words, "a landmark for hungry
Americans."

Bill Rosenberg was just shy of his 30th
birthday when he bought a used delivery
truck, invested $5,000 in a modest kitchen
in an old butcher shop and opened the In-
dustrial Luncheon Service.
He stocked the truck with coffee, sand-
wiches and doughnuts and made his first stop
at the Boston Gear Works in North Quincy,
where he sold his first cup of coffee for a
nickel.
He had 144 canteen tnjcks by 1950
when he decided a retail store would be more
profitable so he started a shop called the
"Open Kettle" on Southern Artery in Quincy.
That name didn't catch on so Rosenberg
called a brainstorming session. "What do you
do with a doughnut?" asked the architect,
Bernard Healy, rhetorically. "You dunk it."

Adams' Crucial Nominations
John Adams, the farmer's son from Old
Braintree, not only had a hand in writing
the U.S. Constitution but he made two
nominations to posts thaty proved to be
critical to the future of the new republic.
As a member of the Continental Con-
gress, he eschewed intercolonial rivalries
and nominated George Washington, a
Virginia planter, as commander in chief
of the Continental army.
As president, he nominated John
Marsall as chief justice of the United
States, where he served 34 years and es-
tablished the basic principle that the Su-
preme Court can invalidate an act of Con-
gress,

Hancock's Father A Rebel Leader
Battlefields Of Quincy
Although it furnished fighting men and
leaders in the Revolution, Quincy (Old
Braintree then) escaped without a pitched
battle being fought on its shores.
The Minutemen of Quincy, however,
did take part in a number of local skir-
mishes, harassing the Redcoats even af-
ter most of them had left Boston March
17, 1775,
On Sunday morning, May 21, 1775,
three British sloops dropped anchor in the
Fore River not far off Germantown.
The Quincy company, under the com-
mand of Elihu Adams, John Adams'
brother, drove them off as they raided
Sheep Island in nearby Weymouth.
On the night of July 9, 1775, a Quincy
company of 300 men put out in whale-
boats from Germantown and seized cattle,
sheep and enemy soldiers from Long Is-
land, under the noses of the British troops.
A few days later, another company of
men, leaving Moon Island off Squantum
in whale-boats, set fire to a house and
barn on Long Island under fire from the
British fleet..
On Sunday evening, July 29, 1775, a
group of men left Squantum in whale-
boats, overpowered a guard and burned
Boston Light, the beacon that guided
ships into Boston Harbor.
The British fleet left Boston Harbor Oct.
10, 1775.
The Rev. John Hancock, grandfather
of the future first signer of the Declara-
tion of Independence, was a rebel leader
in his own right.
He was the minister of the Congrega-
tional Church in Cambridge's North Pre-
cinct in 1713 at a time when church and
state were one in the Massachusetts Bay
Colony.
Adams
Last Survivor
John Adams, who died only a few hours
after Thomas Jefferson on July 4, 1825,
outlived all but one of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence.
The last survivor of the signers was
Charles Carroll of CarroUton, Maryland,
who died in 1832 at the age of 95. Adams
died at 90.
The Rev. Hancock was in the forefront
when the North Precinct successfully re-
volted against the taxes levied by Cam-
bridge town, 10 miles away.
The North Precinct eventually became
the town of Lexington and the good rev-
erend ruled his little community with such
an iron hand that he became known as
"the Bishop of Lexington."
Captain Who?
The original settlement of Quincy was
made as a trading post in 1625 by an all
male company led by a Captain
Wollaston. who was so obscure that his
first name has been lost to history,
A few years ago, the historian Hobart
Holly, after exhaustive research, con-
cluded that his first name was probably
Richard — but, still, nobody knows for
sure.
Moswetuset Hummock
Thursday, July 3, 2008 Tbe Q«iincy Sun Page33A
'Birthplace Of Massachusetts'
It was only a tiny spot of land no bigger
than a football field on the Quincy shore
but it gave its name to the state of Massa-
chusetts.
As the historian Neal recalled it in his
History of New England, published a hun-
dred years after the Pilgrims landed in
1721 . . .
"The Sachem or Sagamore who gov-
erned the Indians in this part of the coun-
try when the English first came hither, had
his seat on a small hill, or hummock, con-
taining perhaps an acre and a half, about
two leagues to the southward of Boston,
which hill or hummock lies in the shape
of an Indians" arrow-head, which arrow-
heads are called in their language Mos,
or Mons, with the O nasal, and hill in their
language is Wetuset; hence, this great
Sachem's seat was called Moswetuset,
which signifies a hill in the shape of an
arrow-head, and his subjects, the
Moswetuset Indians, from whence with
small variation of the word, the Province
received the name Massachusetts."
The little wooded hillock near the junc-
tion of East Squantum Street and Quincy
Shore Drive was once the seat of the sa-
chem Chickatabot, who comes down
through the pages of Quincy history as a
rather pathetic figure.
He was the chief of the Moswetuset
Indians, once a great tribe that occupied
the coast north of Plymouth.
MOSWETUSET HUMMOCK (Jack Tolson Photo)
(Robert Bosworth Photo)
A few years before, under the great
sachem Nanepashemet, the Moswetuset
had been able to field some 3,000 war-
riors for a war with a neighboring tribe.
Nanepashemet was killed.
Then came the plague.
In two years the mighty Moswetuset
were all but wiped out. No more than 60
of them were left to till their fields on the
banks of the Neponset River. Sachem
Chickatabot fled his home on a hill in
Wollaston and took refuge on Moswetuset
Hummock.
That was the situation in 1621 when
Capt. Myles Standish landed from a
shallop with an exploring party of Pilgrims
from Plymouth that included the Indian
guide Squanto (or Tsquantum) whose
name was given to the peninsula that stuck
out in the bay. They called it Squantum.
The tragic Chickatabot died not long
after the Pilgrims' visit and he was suc-
ceeded as sachem by his son, Josiah
Wampatuck, a boy who knew a good deal
when he saw one.
Wampatuck sold what was left of his
virtually deserted tribal lands to a group
of whites for 12 pounds, 10 shillings. The
land included most of what is today the
city of Quincy and the towns of Braintree.

The Granite Railwai;
First Commerical
Railroad In U.S.
It was the darndest looking contraption
that many among the distinguished
gathering had ever seen.
Each of the three wagons had four
wheels, six and one half feet in diameter,
surmounted by a smaller gear wheel which
was used to raise and lower the cargo plat-
form that was slung low between the
wheels.
It rode on foot-high wooden rails,
topped by iron plate, which rested on
stone sleepers or cross ties, placed eight
feet apart and firmly supported on crushed
granite to a depth beyond the frost line.
On Saturday, Oct. 7, 1826, the wag-
ons were laden with 16 tons of the finest
Quincy granite and the opening day guests
were properly amazed when a single
horse moved the whole thing with ease
more than three miles to a special wharf
on the Neponset River.
The granite blocks, a particularly hard
and weather-resistant stone capable of
tc....ng a brilliant polish, were en route to
Charlestown, where they were building a
monument to the Battle of Bunker Hill.
The Granite Railway, the first such
commercial venture in the United States,
was built specifically to transport stone for
the Bunker Hill Monument.
That it became successful, and a model
for others around the country, is a tribute
to three vastly dissimilar men, the engi-
neer Gridley Bryant, the architect
Solomon Willard and the financier. Colo-
nel Thomas Handasyd Perkins.
Bryant was 27 at the time but already
an engineer of note. He invented the eight
wheeled railroad car and, when a fellow
named Ross Winans of Baltimore sued to
establish a patent on it, Bryant was able
to prove his claim to the satisfaction of
the U.S. Supreme Court.
Willard, then 43, was a great bear of a
man, gentle, obliging, industrious. Frivol-
ity, it was said, was alien to him and he
was never known to run. He could be
crotchety, too. He was a carpenter turned
wood-carver, turned stone-carver and, fi-
nally architect.
Perkins was the autocratic, 52-year-old
merchant king of Boston who was said to
have been offered the post of Secretary
of the Navy by President Washington and
turned it down with the observation that
he owned more ships than the Navy.
It was Perkins who lobbied the
Railway's charter through a puzzled and
obstinate State Legislature, which had
never been called upon to incorporate a

Quincy's Granite Was Famed The World Over
They're just holes in the ground
now, attractive and perilous nui-
sances that, over the years, have
filled with water and lured swimmers to
their dooms, unaware of the dangers that
lie in the cool green depths.
But there was a time, more than 100
years ago, when the Quincy granite quar-
ries swarmed with workmen hacking out
stone that was sought as prime building
material around the world.
Like Topsy, the granite industry in
Quincy "just growed. "
The earliest settlers used the surface
boulders found on the North and South
Commons to build the foundations of
their homes and the fences that sepa-
rated them from their neighbors.
At the industry's height in the late
1800s, there were more than 30 op-
erating quarries and in one of them,
Jonathan Swingle's quarry, men dug
for granite at a The first known use of
Quincy granite as a building material
was the town's second meeting house
in 1666, a scant 41 years after the first
settlement at Mount Wollaston.
The stone building served a dual pur-
poses. Sometimes it was a church
where the community worshipped;
GRANITE WORKERS, many of them
immigrants u^ learned their craft in
haly and the Scandinavian countries,
are memorialized with a statue of
Quincy granite in the Granite Woricers
Park on Copeland St., West Quincy.
There were as many as 4,000 work-
ing in the Quincy quarries during the
"Stone Age" of American architecture.

other times it served as a fort in case
of an Indian attack.
Quarrying in general was in its in-
fancy, an inexact science in those days.
The process of cutting a rock to size
was simple — build a fire around it,
then drop an iron ball or cold water on
the rock, which would break at approxi-
mately the desired spot.
Later, the quarrymen used wooden
wedges which expanded when wet to
split the stone, then sledges and ham-
mers introduced by German immi-
grants, finally iron wedges.
These were the methods used to ob-
tain granite to build King's Chapel in
Boston (1753), the State Prison in
Charlestown (1815), the Dedham jail
(1817) and St. Paul's Church in Bos-
ton (1820).
That was the situation when
Solomon Willard decided to com-
memorate the Battle of Bunker Hill (ac-
tually Breed's Hill) by building a monu-
ment out of Quincy granite.
The problem was that no one had
ever built with such large pieces of
stone before and no one knew how to
quarry it or work it or transport it to
the building location.
Willard, who quit his job as an ar-
chitect and moved to Quincy to direct
quarrying operations for the Bunker
Hill Monument, had to devise new
methods for obtaining and working the
stone.
The new method of transportation,
devised by Gridley Bryant, involved the
construction of the first commercial
railroad in the United States to carry
stone from the quarry to the Neponset
River.
Willard's inventions and new meth-
ods inaugurated what is known as "the
Stone Age" of American architecture
and the Quincy granite industry flour-
ished along with it.
Quincy granite, known for its dura-
bility and its ability to take a high pol-
ish, was shipped all over the world un-
der the trade names "Quincy Light. "
"Quincy Dark," and "Quincy Extra
Dark."
The demise of the granite industry
started after World War I when lighter
and more malleable building materials
were developed with which to construct
stronger and less costly buildings.
The last operating quarry. Swingle's,
went out of business in 1963.

It wasn't until 1923 that the Squantum
Naval Reserve Station was established,
commanded by Lt. Richard E. Byrd, with
one old weather-beaten hangar and one
ancient seaplane, held together, they said
"by wire, curses and prayers."
Thus, Naval Reserve Aviation was born.
Later, as Admiral Byrd, the young
lieutenant became renowned for his
flights over the North and South Poles
and the establishment of the Little
America research station on the Antarc-
tic continent.
Of the many officers who served at
Squantum, none stand out more than
Commander John J. Shea, executive of-
ficer from 1931 to 1940, when he went
to war as air operations officer aboard the
aircraft carrier Wasp.
Wasp was sunk Sept. 15, 1942, and
Jack Shea was last seen "fighting the fire
on the flight deck displaying great courage
and devotion to duty, and disregarding the
danger of exploding ammunition and de-
bris filling the air and rapidly spreading the
fire."
His last letter to his 5-year-old son, Jack
Jr., written just before he was lost, became
a classic in wartime literature, read in part:
"When you are a little bigger you will
know why your daddy is not home so much
anymore. You know we have a big coun-
try and we have ideals as to how people
should live and enjoy the riches of it and
how each is born with equal rights to life,
freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
"Unfortunately, there are some coun-
tries in this world where they do not have
these ideals, where a boy cannot grow up
to be what he wants to be with no limit on
his opportuniuties to be a great man such
as a great priest, statesman, doctor, sol-
dier, business man, etc.
"Because there are people in countries
who want to change our nation, its ideals,
its form of government and way of life we
must leave our homes and families to fight.
Fighting for the defense of our country,
ideals, homes and honor is an honor and
a duty which your daddy has to do before
he can come home and settle down with
you and mother.
"When it is done he is coming home to
be with you always and forever. So wait
just a little while longer. I'm afraid it will be
more than the two weeks you told me on
the phone.
"... Last of all don't ever forget your
daddy. Pray for him to come back and if it
is God's will that he does not, be the kind
of a boy and man your daddy wants you to
be."
Shea received the Navy Cross for his
action aboard the dying Wasp. The field at
Squantum NAS was named Shea Field.
And his name is memorialized in the
Quincy street called Commander Shea
Boulevard.
Even while the Navy was training its
reserve flyers, it leased a portion of its
property to Quincy architect Harold T
Dennison to open a commercial airport in
1927 with Amelia Earhart as one of his
five backers.
Earhart was one of the passengers on
the first official flight out of Dennison Air-
port and, as a resident of Medford and a
social worker in Boston, she visited the field
in Squantum frequently to hone her own
flying skills for aviation feats yet to come.
Instructors at Dennison taught flying
during the week and took passengers joy
riding on Sundays. It wasn't unusual for
1 ,000 persons to show up for a short hop
at 50 cents and a longer one at $2.50 to
$5 on a good weekend. But even that
wasn't enough.
Dennison, as president of the Dennison
Airport Kennel Club Inc., tried to open a
dog track on the site in 1935 but it was
turned down. Said City Councillor John
R. Shaughnessy: "There is nothing lower
than a dog track. Three of the six oper-
ated in Illinois were controlled by Al
Capone."
The coming of World War II meant a
revival of training at the Squantum Naval
Air Station and the demise of commer-
cial aviation at Dennison Airport as the
Navy cancelled its lease and added a con-
crete surface to the runways and extended
them until they were a half a mile long.
After the war, on July 1, 1946, the
Squantum Naval Air Station became a
Naval Reserve Training Base where for the
next seven years thousands of officers and
enlisted men and women — the Weekend
Warriors — came each weekend for train-
ing.
Squantum 's glorious aviation history
came to an end in 1953 due to the rapid
expansion of Logan Airport which placed
Quincy in the path of jetliners approach-
ing the East Boston field for a landing.
Clearly, one of them had to go and, just as
clearly, it was Squantum.
Today, Squantum s pioneer flying days
of Haniet Quimby, Amelia Earhart, Com-
mander John J. Shea and Captain Harry
Sartoris live on in the Aviation History In-
formation Center at the Beechwood Com-
munity Life Center where the old Dennison
Airport once held sway.

USS SALEM
(Quinc\; Sun Photo/Robert Noble)
Centerpiece Of U.S. Naval
Shipbuilding Museum
USS Salem Flagship
Of The Sixth Fleet
Although she never fired a shot in
anger, the heavy cruiser USS
Salem at the United States Na-
val Shipbuilding Museum stands for all the
ships that were built at Bethlehem Steel's
Fore River Shipyard, a mighty armada
that helped beat Hitler and Tojo.
Salem was ordered during World War
II but launched in 1947 after hostilities
had ceased and commissioned in 1949
to become the flagship of the U. S. Navy's
Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean during
the Cold War years in the 1950s.
At 716 feet, six inches in length and
17,000 tons displacement with a crew of
109 officers and 1,690 enlisted men and
eight-inch/55 caliber guns in three triple
turrets, she was the bulwark of democ-
racy in the Mediterranean and Caribbean
Seas,
Salem and her crew earned the praise
of the king and queen of Greece for their
work in providing relief supplies and hu-
manitarian aid for four days as the first
ship on the scene after an earthquake
ravaged the Greek islands in 1953.
She was at sea bound for a new billet
in Villafrance on the French Riviera in
1956 when fighting broke out between
Israel and Egypt and she was diverted to
the islands of Rhodes to assure safe pas-
sage of American and other ships through
the Suez Canal.
Salem was on active duty for 10 years,
decommissioned in 1959 and berthed in
the Atlantic Reserve Fleet in Philadelphia;
then brought back to its birthplace in
Quincy and recommissioned in 1995 as
a member of the Historic Naval Ships
Association.
She features tours of the main deck,
the number three turret, the admiral" s and
captain's bridges, the quarters on the sec-
ond deck where the crew lived and
worked, an extensive model ship collec-
tion and the region's only Navy SEAL dis-
play.
The ship is also home to the Cruiser
Sailor Museum as well as museums dedi-
cated to the USS St. Paul and USS New-
port News, sister ships of Salem. The
museum "s archives are open for research
and viewing an extensive collection of
armaments, uniforms and memorabilia.
The USS Salem at the United States Naval Shipbuilding
Museum is located at 739 Washington St., at the Fore
River Shipyard in Quincy Point. Hours of escorted and
self-guided tours include: Summer - Daily June through

Spirits of Quincy's Past - Hancock Cem-
etery, next to City Hall. Adams National His-
torical Park will host a candlelight tour of
one of New England's oldest burying
grounds, the Hancock Cemetery.
Three centuries of historic figures briefly
come back to life to share stories and little
known facts about Quincy's past. If you dare
to enter the old graveyard on Hancock Street
next to Quincy City Hall between 7:00 P.M.
and 9:00 P.M. on the appointed evening, you
will witness the return of members of some
of Quincy's first families including the
Adamses, Quincys, and Hancocks. Morticia
Addams, your ghoulish hostess for the
evening, will treat you to a "spirited" good
time as she prepares you for a "ghost encoun-
ter of the historic kind."
After haunting the cemetery, all souls will
be summoned to the Adams National His-
torical Park Visitor Center for refreshments
of spirits and angel's or devil's food cake
following the program. All activities will take
place at the Hancock Cemetery and Adams
National Historical Park Visitor Center lo-
cated at 1250 Hancock Street in Quincy,
Massachusetts on Friday, October 29, 2004.
The program will take place between 7:00
P.M. and 9:00 P.M. and is free of charge. For
information contact Adams National Histori-
cal Park Visitor Center at (617) 770- 11 75.

At Squantum Parade Drive
Park Board Reaffirms Troop Donations
Rousing Success
Track At Faxon Field
The Park and Recreation
Board has reaffirmed its sup-
port of building a new track
facility at Faxon Field as a
design firm begins to de-
velop a formal plan to be pre-
sented to the School Com-
mittee in late August.
Gale Associates, which
has constructed numerous
track facilities around the
country, is now developing
feasibility plans for a track
facility at the site next to the
new Quincy High School,
and will have a report that
addresses design, parking,
drainage and other issues as-
sociated with the new track.
"The board reaffirmed its
desire to see a new track built
swiftly and economically at
Faxon Field," said Executive
Director of Park, Forestry
and Cemetery Kristen Pow-
ers, "The School Committee
has a number of questions,
and we expect Gale will have
the answers when they com-
plete their work in time for
the first school committee
meeting in the fall."
The Weymouth-based
firm, which designed the
Reggie Lewis Track and
Field Center at Northeastern
University, will conduct the
design study for a fraction of
the price quoted by the firm
that developed preliminary
designs for a track at Pageant
Field, the Mayor's office
said. Those designs were
dropped from consideration
after a decision by the Park
and Recreation Board sup-
ported by Mayor Thomas
Koch and a group of resi-
dents wishing to protect the
area as open space.
The cost difference in de-
sign work for the Faxon
Field site means that no ad-
ditional money will be
needed to design the track
faciUty, officials said.
"With the support of the
community and the Park and
Recreation Board, Pageant
Field will be preserved for
future generations, and we
are keeping with our com-
mitment to build the best
track at the best location in
the city," said Koch, who has
pressed to preserve Pageant
Field for several years. "We
know that once Gale has the
opportunity to answer the
school committee's ques-
tions, we will be on our way
to a great new track facility
for Quincy."
Koch added, "But I will
be very clear: Imade a prom-
ise to many, many people
that I would under no cir-
cumstances support a track at
Pageant Field. And I have
every intention of keeping
that promise."
The troop donation drive
that accompanied the 99th
annual Squantum Fourth of
July Parade was a rousing
success.
"We collected enough
donations to fill 63 care
packages and enough mon-
etary donations to cover
shipping costs," said Jim
Doherty, commander of the
Robert I. Nickerson Ameri-
can Legion Post.
The drive, sponsored by
Sen. Michael Morrissey and
Rep. Bruce Ayers, had mem-
bers of the post collecting
Celebrating ^^^^^^^1
John Q.Adams jjj^K^^^H
241st ^K|^H
^^^^^^1
donations throughout the pa-
rade and packing the sup-
phes for the troops.
The collections included
a wide variety of items such
as postage money, flash-
lights, tooth brushes, batter-
ies, powdered drink mixes,
razors, mouthwash, deodor-
ant, international phone
cards and gloves.
"1 was overwhelmed by
the generosity of local resi-
dents and businesses and I
am grateful for their outpour-
ing of support," said
Morrissey. "We couldn't
have held this event without
their help."
More than 25 packages
have been shipped so far and
more will be sent out in the
next week to troops stationed
in other lands, particularly
those in Iraq and Afghani-
stan.
Any money left over fr^om
the drive will be used to pur-
chase phone cards for the
troops.
"It was an honor to march
in the July Fourth Parade
with the veterans, as well as
two of Squantum's active
military personnel, Timothy
Kennedy and Cheryl Potter,
both of whom have recently
returned home on leave from
Iraq," said Ayers.
"It was a pleasure to
spend the holiday with them
and 1 wish them the best of
luck on their return to Iraq,"
Anyone who knows of
local troops serving overseas
should contact Morrissey's
office at 617-722-1494 or
Ayers' office at 617-722-
2230 with his or her address
so a package may be sent to
them.
Morrissey said he hopes
to be able to conduct a simi-
lar drive for troop donations
around Veteran's Day in time
to send more packages for
the holiday season.

City Sponsored 'Beach Bash'
At Parkhurst/Perry Beach July 19
A Thank You from
John "Okie" O'Connell's Family
We would like to thank all those who joined our family in our endeavor to raise money
for the John "Okie" O'Connell Scholarship Fund. Without the support of our family and
friends in the Quincy conununity as well as John's family and friends near and far, this
would not have been possible.
The proceeds will help provide scholarships for local students including those with
special needs. In addition to providing the scholarships, the fund conmiittee is also
pursuing the development of an antiviolence education video to present to youth pro-
grams, schools and colleges to teach young people about "the damage one punch can
do."
A special thank you to Will O'Connell and Ginny Barry from the Waterclub, Dorothy
Collins, Margaret and Maureen Collins, Mary "Mer" Duffy, Pat and Neal Gavin, Maureen
Duggan, Maureen Bowes, Deb Pizzi, Meghan McLean, Katie Marchard, and Kristen
Connors for all their help in making this a very special day, as well as the many volun-
teers.
We would also like to thank our sponsors who helped in defraying the cost of John's
Golf Tournament at President's Golf Course which took place prior to the fundraiser at
the Waterclub, as well as the many businesses/organizations who donated gifts for the
fundraiser.
Thank you again for your love and support.

New Trash Collections
John Quincy Adams Friday See Rise In Recyclables
President John Quincy
Adams, the nation's sixth
president, will be
remembered Friday as local
and national officials mark
the 241st anniversary of his
birth.
Friday has been officially
designated as "John Quincy
Adams Day" in Quincy.
The Navy's William
Bullard, commander of the
USS Constitution,
affectionately known as 'Old
Ironsides', and other
dignitaries, will speak at the
wreath-laying ceremonies
beginning at noon in United
First Parish Church, Quincy
Center.
Commander Bullard will
bring a wreath and greetings
from President George Bush
during an observance
honoring Adams in the
church, also known as the
Church of the Presidents, and
at the Adams' crypt on the
lower level of the church.
Prior to the church
services, a Community
Breakfast will be held from 8
a.m. to 9 a.m. at Quincy

St.
The wreath-laying
observance of Adams'
birthday began 44 years ago
on orders from President
Lyndon B. Johnson. Johnson
directed that past presidents
be honored each year on their
birthdays. This year, the
orders were relayed to
Conmiander Bullard.
This is an especially
important year as the Adams'

Capital Waste Services'
first week on the job of col-
lecting trash and recyclables
in Quincy has produced a
dramatic increase in the
amount of recyclables.
The Department of Pub-
lic Works reported that the
newly contracted service that
started last week collected an
average of 19 tons of
recyclables per day, a four-
ton increase over the previ-
ous daily average.
"Increasing recychng was
a major issue when we
started negotiating a new
trash contract and we hope
to see results like these con-
tinue as we go forward," said
Mayor Thomas P. Koch.
"Increased recycling ac-
complishes two very impor-
tant goals. It saves the tax-
payers money and it protects
the environment."
The new contract in-
cludes financial incentives
for the city to recycle more
as two companies will be
paying the city for
recyclables.
DPW Commissioner
Larry Prendeville said the
first week of the new con-
tract went well with an oc-
casional hiccup in service
causing only minor prob-
lems.
"The response has been
very positive," he said.
"Most importantly, the com-
plaints we did receive about
missed pickups and other is-
sues were almost always ad-
dressed immediately.
'This is the kind of cus-
tomer service we expected
from Capital when we signed
the contract and that is the
kind of service we will con-
tinue to expect."
Prendeville said the DPW
received some complaints
about missed pickups and
there was a missed commu-
nication about the July yard
waste collection, but consid-
ering Capital is new to the
job, the week went "as well
as we could' ve imagined."
The new contract figures
to save Quincy some
$150,000, thanks to a three-
city deal entered into by the
mayors of Quincy, Braintree
and Weymouth to collabo-
rate on trash services.
Prendeville said residents
should continue to see im-
provements in trash collec-
tion.
He reminded
homeowners about the new
"single-stream recycling"
program that no longer re-
quires residents to separate
recyclables for collection.
Under the program, resi-
dents can use their existing
recycling bins or place a
"single-stream recycling"
sticker on any trash con-
tainer.

At Last: The Anchor!
A Navy ship anchor will scx)n adorn the Fore
River Bridge rotary as a fitting tribute to
Quincy 's famed shipbuilding history.
Thanks to Mike Condon, executive director of the
USS Salem Naval Shipbuilding Museum.
And, to Mayor Thomas Koch who knows something
appropriate when he sees it.
This particular anchor couldn't be more appropriate.
It belonged to the heavy cruiser USS Des Moines, sister
ship of the Salem. And, like the Salem was built here at
the Fore River shipyard.
Condon, who has custody of the anchor, offered it
free to the city a year ago for placement at the rotary.
But nothing came of it. Maybe it got lost in the heat of
that year's mayoral battle.
He offered it again just a few days ago. And an
appreciative Koch gladly accepted it.
Koch's office is working with Condon on the
mechanics involved. Such as a base for the estimated
22.5000 pound anchor to rest on. And getting it to the
rotary.
The latter, shouldn't be too difficult.
The anchor is just some 1 ,000 feet or so from the
rotary-on the dock beside the USS Salem.
The Des Moines portside anchor was obtained by
Condon from the Navy in August 2006 as an artifact for
the museum. And with the thought it might someday be
placed at the rotary.
Condon actually rescued the anchor from the scrap
pile.
The Navy gave it to him with its blessing before the
Des Moines was moved from the Philadelphia Naval
Shipyard to Brownsville, Tex. to be scrapped.
With the help of the Navy and many others, Condon
got the anchor to Quincy-everyone volunteering their
part.
Including, quite importantly, the J. A. Mira
Transportation firm of Wilmington who delivered the
anchor from Philadelphia to Quincy.
"All of these people who did what they did to get the
anchor to Quincy did it as an act of love for the Navy and
Quincy' s know-how shipbuilding reputation," said
Condon.
The anchor, placed beside the 50-foot flagpole with
y ardarm erected in January of last year will make a most
fitting tribute to those who worked at the shipyard
turning out the great fighting ships that played a major
role in winning World War H.
Such ships as the aircraft carriers USS Lexington
and USS Wasp (two), the battleship USS Massachusetts,
the cruisers USS Quincy (two), the USS Boston and
those destroyers and LSTs.
After the war, Fore River built the cruiser USS Long
Beach, the first nuclear powered surface ship and the
second, the frigate USS Bainbridge. And then Apollo
ships that helped guide man to the moon and those
palace-like luxury liners.

THIS IS AN idea of what the anchor would look like at
the base of the flagpole at the Fore River rotary. The
anchor was superimposed on the photo taken by Robert
Noble.
shipyard, should remember with special pride.
The flagpole replaced the Granite Ball that had been
at the rotary for some 68 years disappointing Quincy
Point residents-especially some of the newer ones who
thought the ball had always been there. That it was
"Quincy Point's ball."
But it's now back outside City Hall, its original site.
It was a gift from the Quincy Granite Manufacture's
Association June 25, 1925 to commemorate the SOO*^
anniversary of the settlement of Quincy. The granite
leaders stipulated that it be placed outside City Hall
where it could be seen by all.
It was moved, however in 1937 when the Fore River
rotary was dedicated Wigglesworth Circle in honor of
Congressman Richard Wigglesworth.
The ball, which became less visible at the rotary with
shrub growth as the years went by, was moved back to
City Hall in June, 2006 by Mayor William Phelan with
the approval of most residents and especially
descendents of the granite workers.
The Granite Ball is back where it belongs and the
crown jewel in beautiful Constitution Common.
The anchor of the Quincy built USS Des Moines will
be going where it belongs.
On6 a tribute to our famed shipbuilding history. The
other to our famed granite.
Both most fitting.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS POSTCARD view of the statue
of Scottish poet Robert Burns was
published in the late 1920's. It is shown
here in its original location on a traf-
fic island at the intersection of School
and Franklin Streets in South Quincy.
The statue was a gift to the city from
the Burns Memorial Association and
was dedicated in November 1925.
Quincy's Clan MacGregor, a 1000-
member Scottish fraternal organiza-
tion, hosted the dedication ceremony
followed by an elaborate banquet and
concert at their Franklin Street hall
seen in the background. The featured
speaker was Colonel Walter Scott, the
famous Scottish-American philan-
thropist and humanitarian for whom
the Clan's hall was named. The statue
was designed by Quincy sculptor
Gerald Horrigan and was carved from
Westerly, R.I. granite by his father
John, a famous Quincy statue cutter.
The base consists of three pieces of
Quincy granite from the Granite Rail-
way Quarry. In 1974, fears of damage
from the Red Line bridge construction
on School Street resulted in the statue
being moved to its present location at
the intersection of Burgin Parkway
and Granite Street. The School Street
traffic island still exists covered with
shrubs and fiowers and nicely main-
tained by a private Quincy family. To

Pageant Field Most Logical Location For New Track
Parents for Pageant
started in April 2008 as a
small group of people ex-
pressing concern for the
moves the Mayor is making
in regard to the track at Pag-
eant Field, but it has had a
domino effect throughout the
community.
It has been a collaboration
of two driving forces. One
being the neighborhood is-
sues and the other being the
track community issue. The
neighborhood issues include
noise, parking, lighting, traf-
fic and overall comfort of
living having a track facility
within a residential area.
Flooding is also a real
concern and a recognized is-
sue now in the Faxon Field
area without the track where
the Mayor wants it. What
people may not understand
is, with the exception of
flooding, these issues apply
to any residential neighbor-
hood in which the city would
propose to place the track.
Just ask the people who live
next to Cavanaugh Field how
much they have enjoyed the
track activities in their neigh-
borhood over the last four
years. The track
community's issue is that
they have no track and have
had no track since Veterans'
Stadium was renovated. That
was four long years ago.
Recently tiie kids and the
parents in the track commu-
nity finally saw a real and
ready plan to implement the
building of a regulation track
but the newly elected official
differs in opinion from the
prior one. It isn't fair for the
children to be paying for
adults' difference in opinion.
When working on the pe-
tition in different communi-
ties throughout the city, we
have been applauded for tak-
ing action and are greatly
pleased by the amount of
support we are receiving. To
put it into numbers, about
95% of the Quincy residents
we ask happily sign the peti-
tion. Some of the remaining
5% are those that are not yet
knowledgeable on the track.
To the people unaware
and those that want more in-
formation we refer them to
our web site, http://
www.buildquincytrack.org.
Our web site contains in-
formation on the track, the
SMMA studies, govemment
official contact information,
CDM flooding reports on the
Faxon Field area. School
Conmiittee meeting videos,
FAQs, articles that question
the legality of the recent re-
scind vote taken by the Park
and Recreation board to re-
move the track from Pageant
Field and more.
We find one thing very
interesting. The city dis-
charged SMMA from a $ 1 .3
miUion contract to build the
track at Pageant Field shortly
after the May 7, 2008 School
Conmiittee meeting in which
Mr. Tinmiins, City Solicitor,
caUed SMMA "un-credible."
Why is Mayor Koch so con-
cerned over the $49,000 lost
to SMMA for interest on late
payments? He was recently
quoted as saying, "I just see
the raw number of (roughly)
$49,000 and I think of how
many desks and chairs we
could have bought with that
money-so 1 find it very dis-
turbing," yet he is wiUing to
allow the $106,000 already
spent on planning and de-
signing Pageant to be lost. It
doesn't make sense.
We feel that Pageant Field
is the most logical, timely
and cost effective location
for the new track. We im-
plore everyone to be more
informed about the track by
visiting our web site. If you
have any questions you can
post one from the site and we
will reply as quickly as pos-
sible.

Committee Proposes
$48,500 Salary
For Mayor
By FRANK McCAULEY
A citizen study committee has recommended that the
salary of the mayor of Quincy should be boosted from
$25,000 a year to $48,500 in line with the salaries of similar
sized cities.
The committee also
recommended that the pay of part-
time city councillors be raised from
$3,000 to $4,500 per year.
The last time either the mayor or
city council received a pay raise was
in 1973 when the mayor's salary went from $10,000 to
$25,000 and the councillors' from $1 ,500 to $3,000.
HANSEN NAMED CITY PERSONNEL DIRECTOR
Donald W. Hansen, 33, of Weymouth, executive assistant
to Police Chief Francis X. Finn, has been named to the
$24,450 a year post as personnel director of Quincy.
Mayor Franci s X . McCauley has requested that the position
be taken out of Civil Service and the duties be expanded
beyond personnel to include such related matters as data
processing.

hibiscus to the seaside garden
framed by Quincy Bay.
Once in the garden,
viewers enjoyed the sights of
pine, spruce and holly and
the scents and colors of
lavender. Cosmos and
Veronica. Roch presented
each visitor with a Cosmos
seedling.
The main course was
served at Leah Shea's home
where the theme was
terracotta, peach and yellow

garden features blooming
plants in pots and boxes and
subtle garden ornaments
dispersed throughout.

Missing Tony T\ifo Hailed
As 'Beloved' Court Officer
By TOM HENSHAW
A short while ago, a pris-
oner awaiting trial tried to
escape from the Quincy Dis-
trict Courthouse with court
officer Anthony 'Tony" Tufo
in close pursuit.
"Tony went head first
through a glass window and
the prisoner was recaptured
in the parking lot," said First
Justice Mark S. Coven.
"Tony went to Quincy
Medical Center to be su-
tured. He returned to work
that afternoon. I had to tell
him to go home. He was like
that.
"He was one of the hard-
est working employees of the
court. He did all that was re-
quired of a court officer and
more.
"He was one of the most
generous people. He'd do
anything asked of him on a
personal or professional ba-
SIS.
The one word most fre-
quently heard around Quincy
District Court to describe
Tony Tufo is "beloved."
That's why the court-
house is still in mourning for
the veteran court officer who
is presumed to have drowned
on the eve of the Fourth of
July when he fell from a boat
into Boston Harbor.
"He was the greatest
guy," said Clerk Magistrate
Arthur Tobin. "I'd say he
was the most beloved indi-
vidual in Quincy Court.
"He was so kind, so giv-
ing. He'd come to work ev-
ery day with a smile for ev-
erybody.
"He was our handyman.
He could fix anything, bro-
ken fans, chairs, desks.
"If you had a problem at
home, he'd volunteer to fix
it. He was always doing
things for people.
"I had an empty feeling
when I heard he was miss-
ing."
Tufo, an athletic 60 who
lived at 161 Summit Ave.,
Wollaston, fell off the 34-
foot pleasure craft Nina
Maria into the Harbor some-
time after 6 p.m. Thursday
somewhere between Deer
Island Light and the
Winthrop Yacht Club.
A 40-hour search by the
Coast Guard that covered
some 50 square miles failed
to turn up anything but his
shoes, which were located
between Deer Island Light
and Snake Island off the
Winthrop shore inside the
Deer Island causeway.
At one -time an 87-foot
Coast Guard cutter, a
Jayhawk helicopter, water
craft from the State Police
and Quincy and Winthrop
Departments and dive teams
from the State Police and
Boston Fire Department
were searching the Harbor
between Winthrop and Lo-
gan Airport.
Tufo was not wearing a
life jacket at the time but his
relative good health and fit-
ness kept hopes of his sur-
vival alive longer than usual.
He ran in this year's Boston
Marathon and finished the
26-mile, 385-yard grind in
four hours and 23 minutes.
The Coast Guard sus-
pended its part in the search
at 7:30 a.m. Saturday.
Tufo. a court officer since
1992, was the son-in-law of
former Attorney General and
Lieutenant Governor Frank
Bellotti and the brother-in-
law of Norfolk County Sher-
iff Michael Bellotti. ^
He and his wife, the
former Mary Elizabeth
Bellotti, an attorney, have
three sons, Anthony Jr.,
Christopher and Daniel.
The Nina Maria is owned
by another brother-in-law,
Joseph Flaherty, a lawyer
who is married to the former
Nina Bellotti, sister of Mary
Ehzabeth.
Tobin said the last words
Tufo said to him when he left
the courthouse were: "I'll be
at your house Friday morn-
ing."
"My grandson, Matthew,
who is home from the Ma-
rines, used to hang around
with Christopher Tufo,"
Tobin explained. "They were
classmates at North Quincy
High. They were planning
something for the Fourth of
July hohday."

Gaining Hands-On Experience
Husband, Wife Salvation
Army Cadets Interning
At Quincy Temple Corps
By LAURA GRIFON
Couples like Helen and
Kevin Johnson of Cam-
bridge, both 28, offer a
glimpse into the future as the
Salvation Army meets the
challenges of the 21" cen-
tury.
The Johnsons, cadets in-
terning at the Quincy Temple
Corps for the summer, are
halfway to their first major
commission as lieutenants in
the Army.
This summer, the
Johnsons are gaining hands-
on experience working as
interns at Quincy Temple
Corps under Majors Douglas
and Linda Jones, co-com-
manders of the Quincy
Corps. Helen, also, knew the
Jones' children while grow-
ing up.
"I was so happy we were
coming here," Helen said of
their assignment, which has
been something of a reunion.
Major Jones has a special
place in the couple's lives, as
he was their pre-nuptual mar-
riage counselor.
This summer, Kevin is
working with "Teen Time,"
a youth group that meets
from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
on Friday nights at the Corps
headquarters on Baxter
Street.
"Teen Time" offers teen-
agers a fnendly place off the
streets where they can hang
out, mingle, play basketball,
dodgeball, kickball and the
like.
"There's room for more,"
said Kevin who's been out
recruiting young people by
passing out fliers at local bas-
ketball courts and sporting
events.
At the same time, Helen
has been working with the
Corps' 'Tuesday Afternoon"
group aimed at elementary
school children in Grades 1
through 6. The Tuesday af-
temoon project offers young-
sters recreation, crafts and a
bible study.
That program, also, has
plenty of room for more chil-
dren and Helen said she has
enjoyed going "door to door"
in the neighborhood telling
residents about the children's
program, which is expected
to continue through the
school year.
The summer internship in
Quincy is something of a re-
spite for the couple from the
two-year intensive officers'
training, which Helen de-
scribes as "pretty rigorous."
They both completed
their first year at the Army's
School for Officers in
Suffem, NY where they are
studying everything from
business administration to
counseling. The curriculum
includes education courses,
preaching, writing sermons,
cultural diversity and
missiology, a study of the
different cultures, and reU-
gions.
Helen said it's important
"to bring the gospel to people

SALVATION ARMY cadets Kevin and Helen Johnson are interning with M^ors Douglas and
Linda Jones, co-conunanders of the Quincy Temple Corps this summer. Helen is holding 14-
month old Alexandria. Quincy Sun photo/Laura Griffin
and not take away their cul-
ture."
Once they complete the
two-year program, they will
have an accredited
Associate's degree and be
commissioned lieutenants.
After two years, they can
expect to earn the rank of
captain and, after 15 years,
major.
In many ways, the young
couple reflects all the tradi-
tions of the Salvation Army
founded in 1852. Both enjoy
meeting people on the street,
knocking on doors, serving
children and the homeless
and, most of all, preaching
the word of Christ.
"I grew up in the Army,"
said Helen. "I think there's
no better, more effective or-
ganization than the Salvation
Army."
Helen described the Sal-
vation Army's enduring mis-
sion to nurture the spiritual
life while caring for the
physical and mental well be-
ing of each person.
However, both Johnsons
expect to bring their own vi-
sion and their own talents to
the legacy of the past and
serve and impact the Army
with their unique talents.
"Helen has an arts back-
ground; I have a technology
background," Kevin said,
describing the tools the
couple will bring to their re-
ligious vocations.
Already, Kevin has used
his computer background to
help design software for the
Salvation Army in Cam-
bridge, while working with
a team from Harvard and
M.I.T.
Helen, also, see changes
in the Army's development
of women leadership skills.
Women have long been ac-
tive in important Salvation
Army roles, but, in recent
decades, were not often rec-
ognized in top positions, she
said.
Now, women are taking
more visible roles in leader-
ship. Helen cited the recent
appointment of Lt. Col. Bar-
bara Hunter as commander
of the Southern New En-
gland Division. Hunter is the
East's first woman divisional
conmiander.
Whatever the future
brings, the Johnsons will ap-
proach their assignments as
a team and go where they are
sent.
"You move around, just
like in the Army," Helen
said, recalling her childhood
in different cities in the
United States and Virgin Is-
lands.
An Oregon native, Kevin
chose the Salvation Army as
a 1 3-year old after observing
his stepfather practicing.
Kevin served with the United
States Army from 1998 to
2003 and has studied at
>^rillamette University in Sa-
lem, Oregon and Bentley
College, Waltham.
Kevin hopes to continue
to use his computer and ad-
ministrative skills.
Helen is a Suffolk Univer-
sity graduate with a master's
degree from Lesley Univer-
sity, Cambridge. She has
taught art at the pre-school
and elementary school level
for five years and expects to
bring her love of art to her
vocation.
"I always wanted to go
into art therapy," said Helen,
describing her behef that art
can be used for heahng and
teaching and aiding in wor-
ship.
Art can reach people in a
different way, according to
Helen who describes the im-
pact one painting can have
on the viewer. She believes
art will be a major aid in her
vocation helping people un-
derstand the word of Christ.
In the years ahead, the
couple expects to raise their
forefingers to the heavens
and follow the Army's slo-
gan, "Salute and Go," where
they are sent.

Family Fun Day Sunday
On Board U.S.S. Salem
Prisoner Escapes Jail, Winds Up In Hospital
David O'Donnell, 24, a
Quincy man awaiting trial
for armed robbery, has
learned the hard way that it
doesn't pay to escape the
clutches of the law — not
from a moving van, anyway.
O'Donnell was being
transported from Quincy to
the Dedham jail Monday
when he discovered that the
secure emergency exit in the
van roof could be opened
from inside the vehicle.
So he did and chmbed out
on the roof of the 10 by 24-
foot van as it was passing by
Archbishop Williams High
School on Washington Street
in Braintree.
If you have ever tried to
hang onto the roof of a mov-
ing vehicle you know what
happened next. He fell off,
landing on his head in the
street while to van continued
on its way.
"We knew something
happened within three or
four minutes," said Peter
Perroncello, superintendent
of operations for the Norfolk
County Sheriff's Office.
"But with 19 other pris-
oners (Ml board we couldn't
turn a 24-foot van around on
Route 128 and look for him."
It didn't matter because
O'Donnell wasn't going
anywhere until the EMTs
bundled him into an ambu-
lance and shipped him off to
Boston Medical Center with
head injuries.
His condition was Hsted
as critical.
The US Naval Shipbuild-
ing Museum will host its first
annual Family Fun Day
aboard the USS Salem Sun-
day, July 13, from 1 1 a.m. to
3 p.m., including perfor-
mances by magician Chris
Bolter, Eddie the Clown and
Franny the Juggler.
The cost is $5 per person
with the proceeds going to
the USS Salem Preservation
Fund, which supports the
Museum in the absence of
city, state or federal funding.
It relies entirely on visitation
and fund-raising for its finan-
cial well-being.
In addition to the per-
formers, there will also be
lots of hands-on fun activi-
ties, including a day-long
mini-golf tournament,
guided and self-guided tours
and a scavenger hunt.
The USS Salem, a 716-
foot heavy cruiser gunship
built at the former Fore River
Shipyard, is permanently
moored at 739 Washington
St. (Route 3A), Quincy
Point, adjacent to the Fore
River Bridge

A Job Well Done
On Thursday, July 5, at approximately 2:50 p.m., Quincy
Police Officers were dispatched to the Citizens Bank inside
the Stop N' Shop store located at 495 Southern Artery for a
bank robbery which just occurred.
Officer Matt Tobin arrived on scene and was assisted by
Detective William Monteith in questioning employees. Taken
as evidence was a note on a bank slip that read, "Act normal
- fill the bag quick and no one will get hurt". While numerous
Officers checked the area.
Detective Monteith interviewed
the bank teller, who stated that
the suspect walked up to his
window with the note and
plastic shopping bags. The
suspect said, "Fill up the bag -
quickly." The Teller asked the
suspect what he meant and the
suspect reiterated, "Fill up the
bag - quickly."
The teller then realized that
the suspect was trying to rob the
bank, so he put a stack of $20
bills from his drawer into the suspect' s white plastic bags. As
the teller was doing this, he also hit the silent alarm. The
suspect then hurriedly walked away toward the exit at the
north side of the building.
The teller said he noticed a tattoo on the suspect's back of
his neck. Another teller next to the first teller saw the
suspect's note fall to the floor, so she picked it up and
recognized that a robbery was taking place. She also heard the
suspect order the teller to fill up the bags, so she too hit the
alarm and called "91 1 ." She also noted that the suspect had a
tattoo on his neck.
Stop N' Shop Loss Prevention Officer Matthew Leuchte
told the Officers that he observed the suspect come into the
store and recognized him from an incident last year where the
suspect was caught stealing from Stop N' Shop. During that
incident, the suspect was issued a 'trespass notice" and
advised to stay out of the store. Upon seeing the suspect enter,
Mr. Leuchte immediately began following him with the Stop
N' Shop camera surveillance system.
The cameras showed the suspect enter the building at 2:50
p.m. wearing a black tank top, blue pants with white stripes
down the side, and no hat. The video showed the suspect walk
directly to the Citizens Bank area, stop to scan the lobby, and
then walk over to a table where the banking deposit slips are
located. He wrote on a bank deposit slip, then went over to
one of the checkout areas and took two white store bags. The
suspect then returned to wait in line at the bank.
The video also showed the tattoo on the suspect's neck and
another tattoo on the right side of his neck. The video then
shows the teller filling up the bags and the suspect then
walking out. The video shows the suspect running across the
lot, turning left on McGrath Highway with the bags of money
partially concealed under his shirt. Not only did the video
from Stop N' Shop confirm the account of the tellers, a second
set of cameras in Citizen' s Bank provided additional evidence.
A bank audit showed that there was a shortage of $1,940.
Meanwhile, the description of the suspect and the area
where he was last seen running was given out. Officer Tobin
had Security Officer Leuchte join him in his cruiser as they
checked the area. Officer James Dentremont searched the
area of Yellow Cab on McGrath Highway and saw an employee
come out of the building. When asked if he saw anyone
matching the description given, the employee said that there
was someone in the bathroom, pointing to the door.
Officer Dentremont immediately notified Communications
that he had located a possible suspect and within seconds,
Sergeant Sean Duggan, Officers' Stephen DesRoche, Kevin
DiMattio and James Cassidy arrived, The officers approached
the bathroom and could hear water running from the faucet.
With their radios turned down. Officer Dentremont told the
suspect in the bathroom that he needed to use the bathroom.
The suspect then opened the door and fit the clothing and
physical description, including tattoos, of the person who had
just robbed the Citizen's Bank. The suspect was immediately
handcuffed and read his Miranda warnings, but he stated that
he did not wish to speak.
Officer Tobin brought Security Officer Leuchte over to
identify the suspect and inmiediately upon seeing the suspect,
said he was "100% positive" it was the same person. After
being placed under arrest for armed robbery, a search of his
wallet
showed $1,940 in US Currency, all twenty-dollar bills,
with $500 in a light brown band. Officer Cassidy transported
the suspect, a 24-year-old Quincy resident to the station for
booking. Inside the bathroom. Sergeant Duggan found two
white plastic Stop N' Shop bags located in the barrel of the
bathroom.
Nice Work!

Quincy Medical Center Receives $10,000 For Pediatric ER, Local Teen Awarded $1,000 Scholarship
Auxiliary Awards Scholarship, Presents Gift To Hospital, Elects Officers
The Quincy Medical
Center (QMC) Auxiliary re-
cently held its annual lun-
cheon and election of offic-
ers at the Neighborhood
Club in Quincy.
During the luncheon,
Auxiliary President Mary
Sullivan presented a check
for $10,000 to QMC Presi-
dent and CEO Gary Gib-
bons, MD, toward construc-
tion of the hospital's pediat-
ric emergency room.
"It gives me great joy to
know that we have the sup-
port of people hke you who
help us in so many ways and
who help to make QMC the
customer friendly and per-
sonable hospital it is," Gib-
bons said. "You should know
that every dollar you raise
goes directly to patient care,
and your donation today will
benefit the children of
Quincy and the surrounding
communities who come to
our Emergency Department
by providing them with a
separate area that is tailored
specifically for them."
The Auxiliary also pre-
sented a $1,000 scholarship
to Michael Powers of
Quincy. Powers recently
graduated from Boston Col-
lege High School, where he
was an honor student, and
will attend Boston Univer-
sity in the fall.
"My experience volun-
teering at QMC has sparked
my interest in pursuing a fu-
ture in the medical field,"
said Powers, who served as
a Junior Volunteer at the hos-
pital. He attended the lun-
cheon with his mother,
Deborah Powers.
Before concluding the
meeting, the Auxiliary in-

the hospital.
During the past year, the
Auxihary donated $14,399
to QMC. Since its inception
in 1953, it has raised well
over $ 1 milUon to support the

Dollars
and $en$e
by David UfBngton
Foreclosures Bring
Out Vultures
WhOe the number of mort-
gage foreclosures soars, so
do the incidents of foreclo-
sure scams. Here are some of
the signs that a mortgage
foreclosure scam is in the
works:
Bailout specialists promise
to "tescue" titie homeowna
from foreclosure in
exduuige for fees that can
nm into the hundreds or
thousands of dollars. little
work is actually done except
for a few j^one calls.
In die rescue scam, the
homeowner is told to sign
certain loan documents that
will take care of the impend-
ing foreclosure — except
dut the documents actually
sign the title over to the
scammer. The homeowner is
left with no house and is still
responsible for the mort-
gage.
Lfi a variation of the rescue
scam, the homeowner is told
that the scammer will make
the payments and take care
of die foreclosure, and die
honeowner can rent the
house until he's able tt> buy it
back later. The end result is
that the homeowner is evict-
ed when the scammer cd-
lects die rent, defaults on the
payments or sells the house
to someone else and pockets
the profits.
If you can*t make your
mortgage payments and fear
losing your house, talk to
your lender. The earlier you
do this, die better your
chances that arrangements
can be made to avoid fore-
closure.
Here are some more tips:
• Nev<» sign any docu-
ments that have blanks, no
matter how you 're pressured.
Don't sign any documents
before you read (and under-
stand) every word.
• Don't re^xind to calls or
mail about foreclmure res-
cue. There are conapanies
that scour courdiouse
records to collect names of
homeowners in trouble.
• Never pay a fee for mort-
gage fortxlosure assurance
or services. Call a HUD cer-
tified counselor, but even
then be careful. See dte Web
site at wwwJiud.gov.
• Don't agree to sofid pay-
ments to anyone but your
lender.
• Never make any verbal
agreements or tmst anything
that is not in writing.
• Know your state laws.
Loigdi of time of the fore-
closure process varies.
• Conua an accnmey who
specializes in consumer law.
Nfost important of aU,
don't sell your house at a low
price just to get rid of it,
especially if die buyer is
offering to "take it off your
hands" and save you from
foreclosure. Enlist the help
of a real-estate ag«stt to help
you determine the true value
of your home.

Tips For Insuring A Home In A Buyer's Market
(ARA) - Slow home sales
mean more vacant houses are
sitting on the market - a
situation that can lead to
increased insurance risks. In
March 2008, approximately
4 million homes were for sale
in the U.S., and in the past
year the median existing
home price has dropped
almost 8 percent, reports the
National Association of
Realtors. That could mean a
longer waitto sell yourhouse.
If you move to a new home
before yours sells, the
property is at greater risk of
damage and you may not

have adequate insurance
coverage. Cindy Woodford
and Jon Farris of QBE
Regional Insurance offer
advice to ensure owners of
vacant properties are
protected.
"An empty house can
become a teen hangout or a
place for a homeless person
to sleep," says Woodford.
"Uninvited guests can lead
to damages like theft, fire or
vandalism. Mother Nature
can also be a foe, leading to
flooding or fire. We
encourage owners to take a
few precautions and protect
their investment before they
move out."
Double-check Your Policy.
The U.S. Census Bureau
reports a record 1 8.6 million
properties sat vacant during
the first quarter of 2008. On
average vacant homes take
longer to sell. Individual
homeowners' policies will
vary, but standard
homeowners insurance
programs only insure a vacant
home for 60 days, which
might leave you short on
coverage.
'Talk to your independent
agent about your policy and
what else is available. Their
job is to help make sure
you're covered," says Farris.
Some specialty insurance
companies will insure vacant
homes for longer time
periods. Coverage may also
be available through some
state-run insurance plans,
such as Fair Access to
Insurance Requirements.
There are many
precautions to protect your
home from risks, notes
Woodford. Before you go
consider doing the following:
• Clean out gutters, trim
trees and check for potential
leaks.
• Install and test smoke
alarms that will alert a central
service center if smoke is
detected.
• Install a home security
system. Make sure you have
adoquate locks on windows
and doors, and they're
secured when leaving.
• Make the home look
lived in. Have an
acquaintance bring in mail.
Shovel sidewalks and
driveways or cut the grass.
Ask a neighbor to park their
car in the driveway. Install
timers on lights and leave
window coverings and some
furniture in the home.
• Winterize your home.

Real Estate Activity Declines 16% In County
Norfolk County Register
of Deeds William P.
O'Donnell reports real estate
activity in Norfolk County
for the quarter ending June
30 declined 16 percent com-
pared to a year ago.
Total dollar volume of real
estate sales in Norfolk
County for the quarter period
from April through June,
2008, stood at $1 .38 billion.
This represents a 16% de-
cline from the comparable
period last year.
The total number of 3868
deeds recorded during the
period was down 46% from
the previous year's April to
June quarter.
"This sharp decline in the
number of deeds recorded
when viewed in light of the
much more modest decline
in total value of real estate
conveyed indicates the con-
tinuing relative strength of
the higher end real estate
market," O'Donnell said.
The average sale price of
deeds over $ 1 ,000 (both resi-
dential and commercial
properties) fell to $560,25 1 ,
a 33% decrease from the
same quarter in 2007.
'This dechne," the regis-
ter noted, "is most likely the
result of fewer higher end
commercial transactions.
However, this average price
was only 4.5% less than the
average price from the pre-
vious quarter, January to
March 2008, and only 2%
less than the average for the
April to June quarter of 2006,
which could be an indication
that price declines have lev-
eled off."
O'Donnell said mortgage
recording activity declined
23% on a year to year basis
with 8606 new mortgages
being recorded in the quar-
ter.
"Norfolk County was not
immune to tightened credit
from lenders responding to
market conditions," he said..
'Total mortgage value for the
quarter stood at just over
$7.2 billion, only 2/3 of the
value reported in the same
quarter of 2007. It is impor-
tant to note that this total
mortgage value amount does
not necessarily represent the
true increase in indebtedness
as some mortgages may be
recorded multiple times
against different parcels of
land, are refinances simply
replacing existing debt, or
are recorded to secure equity
credit hnes which may not be
drawn to their capacity."
Rotting Window
Sm Isn't Easy Fix
Q, I try to maintain my
• faiome as well as I can
by myself. However, there
are some things tiiat even
the most determined body
cannot do. The sills on my
outside back windows,
which face south, are rot-
ting away. I hope that
something can be done
simply, but whenever
someone gives me advice,
they seem to think all the
windows and frames need
to be replaced. Any advice
would be appreciated and
considered. I'm a senior
citizen on a limited budget.
— Bonnie Ml,, via e-mail
A, Normally, when a
• wooden window
frame begins to show signif-
icant rotting, it's best to
replace the entire frame —
you gel a well-fitted, bcttcr-
insulatcd window that will
last for decades. But it isn't
cheap, and the project is
beyond many do-it-your-
selfers.
It's a tough call, without
being able to look at your
exterior sills, as to whethar
you can make temporary
repairs to them and hold off
on replacing the entire win-
dow unit. Take a close look
at them: Is the rotting only
affecting a portion of the
exterior wood? Does the rot
go throu^ to the interior
side? Docs the wood cnim-
ble away with light pres-
sure?
A rotting window franne
can result in a lot of other
costs — water damage from
moisture seeping through
the comprornised wood, and
high cnCTgy bills from poor
insulation.
If the rot is limited, you
can buy a little time — a year
or two, max — by filling the
cracked surfaces with a two-
pjart wood filler. This imtxI-
uct is mixed together and
then applied to the damaged
area with a putty knife. After
it dries, it can be lightly
sanded and painted.
Once that's done, though,
start pricing out replace-
ments. The temporary seal
will give you a linle extra
time for diis. With parts and
labor, you may only be able
to replace one frame at a
time, but the replacement
will be well worth it in the
long run.

Stressed Out
Over Exercise
Q,I enjoy working ont
• to grt away from the
day-to-day stresses of my
Job and famfly. My usuik
routine is to do group
exercise classes three days
a week and walk with a
neighborhood friend three
days a wedi. My stress has
dropped a little, but not as
much as I thought it
would. Also, I thought I
might have lost a little
weight just by exercising,
^hat am I dding wrong?
A, Exercise can have
• many benefits,
including reducing stress
and losing wd^t. If you're
not seeing the results you
desire, we need to identify
what odier factors might be
playing a role.
A regular exercise routine
is a great place to start to
help ftcilitate weight loss
while encouraging stress
relief. Stress can slow our
metabolism, affect hormone
levels and cause us to store
body fat around our abdom-
inal region.
While exercising, take dve
time to relax and focus on
your workout. Bringing
your stress into your work-
out can keep you from truly
using your workout time to
relieve stress. If talking
about what mi^t be caus-
ing stress in your life only
causes you to become more
stressed, then avoid taking
those feelings into your
workout.
Find an exercise routine
that you enjoy and where
can practice breathing and
relaxation techniques.
Stretching, mind/body
classes such as Qigong, Tai
Chi or yoga, and workouts
that help focus your
thoughts on not becoming
overwhelmed can not oily
provide a great workout, but
techniques you can use in
everyday life.
Remember to modify your
workouts, as you may need
to try different diings at dif-
ferent times of your life. You
mig^t enjoy group classes
tliis month, but become
bored with them next
month. Change up your rou-
tiiw and try something new
and exciting. This also can
{Rxnride something to look
forwaid to if the rest of your
life is hectic and stressed.
Exercise and nutrition
must go hand in hand. Scnne
people use food to help deal
with stress, so to keep this
from becoming a factor,
monitor your nutritional
habits. A healthy, balanced
nutritional pirn combined
widi regular exercise can
help facilitate weight loss.
However, you can exercise
and not begin to see the
physical results because of
your nutritional habits.
A regular routine of exer-
cise aiMi proper nutrition is a
great start to reducing stress
and keeping ccmtrol of your
weight. Keep trying each
day to find a combination of
exercise and nutrition that
works for you — and avoid
becoming frustrated. Exer-
cise and nutrition should not
add more stress to your life.
Always consult a physi-
cian btfore beginning an
exercise program. If you
have a fitness or training
question, write to Andrea in
care of King Features Week-
ly Service, P.O. Box 536475,

Precautions Include Hand-Washing, Water, Healthy Diet And Rest
Why The Immune System
Can Never Go On Vacation
The immune systein can
never go vacation, summer
or winter.
A travel bug can ruin a trip
that has been plaimed for
months. Independent
Traveler magazine says
fravelers "may be more than
100 times as likely to catch a
cold on a plane as in normal
daily rounds." There are
several reasons travelers'
immune systems need to do
double-duty during vacations
and suimner trips.
Aircraft cabins, as well as
frains, buses, terminals and
stations are incubation zones
for flu and cold germs. A
2006 study at Children's
Hospital in Boston, Mass.
confirmed that, like us, a
microbe's favored mode of
travel is airplanes. Likewise,
trains, buses, taxis and rental
cars can be breeding grounds
for traveling germs — not to
mention airport waiting
areas, restaurants and public
rest rooms.
This summer, many
airlines are downsizing flight
schedules to save money.
This will insure crowded
aircraft cabins, translating
into more contact among
travelers and more
opportunities for germ
contamination.
Travel means additional
stress as well. Travelers
experience pressure from
getting ready to go, preparing
homes, businesses and pets
to be cared for in their absence
and making it to gates and
connections on time.
Changes in schedules, diet
and sleep patterns are also
factors that combine to set
travelers up for colds or flu.
"Travelers should take the
same precautions they would
diuing the regular cold and
flu season — hand washing,
drinking lots of water, a
healthy diet and as much rest
as possible," says Dr. Elin
Ritchie of Taos, N.M.
Travelers who want to take
their inmiune defense a step
further might consider
additional measures to insure
healthy travel. One defensive
option is a probiotic-based
immune product called Del-
Immune V
(www.delimmune.com). "I
take this prior to, during and
after travel," says Ritchie.
She also recommends the
product to her patients
plaiming vacations for a wide
range of potential immune
issues.
Terri Hendrick, a Boulder,
Colo, interior designer, used
the product to stay well on a
trip to Vietnam in 2007.
"I started taking Del-
Immune V 2 days before I
left. Usually when I travel I
have digestive problems —
especially in Asia. This was
the first time in all my travels
I did not had some kind of
digestive disorders. The other
five people on the trip quickly
started trading a cold. When
I gave the product to my
fellow travelers, they
recovered quickly," she says.
Another protective
measure is the Nozin nasal
sanitizer (www.nozin.com),
a nasal swab moistened with
a prc-measured homeopathic
solution. According to the
product Web site, laboratory
tests showed the product was
effective in killing at least 99
percent of bacterial
pathogens and 99 percent of
viruses, including rhinovirus
type- 1 4, often responsible for
the common cold.
A product reviewer on the
ThreeKidCircus.com blog
site writes, "Before I entered
the airport on the morning of
my flight, I swabbed. Before
my retum flight, I swabbed
again. I retumed home with
no sickness. Even though my
seatmate on the flight home
was hacking and sneezing,
and despite the coughing and
nose blowing that was going
on all over the plane, I was
untainted. And despite
coming home to a sick family ,
I've been swabbing once a
day and I'm still not sick."
"We take our immune
systems for granted, but it is
the immune system that is
the front-line defense against
foreign invaders. It doesn't
take much to protect
oiu^elves and ensure healthy
travel," Ritchie says.
Natural Remedies for Headache Pain
(ARA) - Are you fmding
yourself under a lot of sfress
these days? Whether it's
being brought on by tension
at work, at home, or by
concerns of how the higher
gas prices will affect you,
there's a lot on yoiu* plate
right now.
The last thing you want to
deal with is a pounding
headache, but unfortunately,
tension headaches and stress
go hand-in-hand. While there
may be little you can do to
eliminate the stressors in your
life, there are a variety of
things you can do to help
reduce the severity and
frequency of headaches.
Here are some good steps
to consider:
Take a long, hard look
at your lifestyle
Behaviors that promote
general good health may also
help prevent headaches. If
you aren't physically active,
get up and get moving.
Regular aerobic exercise,
such as walking, swimming
or biking can help reduce the
frequency and severity of
tension headaches. If you
don't think you can get
motivated enough on your
own, sign up for a gym
membership and use it often.
You should also get into the
habit of eating regular,
healthy meals and getting
plenty of rest.
Make sure you're
drinking enough water
What many people don't
realize is that dehydration is
one of the most frequent
causes of headaches, in both
adults and children. If you're
not drinking the
recommended 40 ounces of
water per 1 00 pounds of body
weight every day, give it a
try. You' 11 likely be delighted
with the results.
Find ways to relax

drink adequate amounts of
water, but are still getting
frequent headaches, the
problem may be that yoiu-
body is still having a tough
time figuring out how to
relax. There are a variety of
relaxation techniques you can
try including deep breathing
and biofeedback. Many
people also find that
massaging their head, neck
and shoulders with their
fingertips, and pressing a cold
compress onto their forehead
helps.
'There's just something
magical about the
combination of pressure,
massage and coolness that
makes a world of difference
for me," says Aurelia Koby,
president of IMAK products.
Free Senior

a California company that
specializes in natural pain
relief products. Koby often
suffers from headaches, and
used to rely on a washcloth
wrapped with ice to get reUef .
"Now there's something even
better," she says.
The IMAK Pillow/Pain
Relief Mask was designed
by medical doctor to provide
relief from migraines,
headaches, sinus pain and
eyestrain. All you have to do
is put it on your face and
secure it in place with the
attached elastic strap, then
sit back and relax.
The secret to the pillow's
success is in its filling —
ergoBeads create a gentle
massaging effect around the
eyes. While it can be used at
room temperature and still
feel cool, many people prefer
to keep it in the freezer so
when they put it on, they get
the benefit of an extra
"cooling" relief and a
massage at the same time.
The Eye Pillow also blocks
out light, which makes it even
more soothing for pain and
tension relief.

Quincy, Morrisette
Heading Toward Playoffs
By SEAN BRENNAN
The two American Legion
baseball teams in Quincy are,
at the moment, heading in
opposite directions, but by
the middle of next week, both
could end up in the same
place; playing in the District
6 East American Legion
playoffs.
Quincy Legion (8-4
overall record) and
Morrisette Legion (5-6-1)
have positioned themselves
among the top-5 in the
District 6 East standings
through 12 games, but
recently it has been Quincy
that has been hot and
Morrisette that has not.
Quincy ended its week
with a scintillating 7-6 walk
off win over Jamaica Plain to
move into a tie for second
place with Braintree Post 86.
That win followed a through
10-4 thrashing of Morrisette
on Saturday evening at
Adams Field.
Against Jamaica Plain,
Quincy loaded the bases in
the seventh inning and plated
the winning run when Jay
Lewis beat out a throw to
first, allowing the winning
run to score.
Starting pitcher Keith
Morreale went the distance,
pitching seven strong innings
and allowing only four earned
runs.
Tom Conley (3-for-4, 2
RBIs, run) and Mike LeBel
(two walks, two runs) paced
the Quincy offense.
LEGION BASEBALL
Their win over JP came
the day after Quincy took it
to Morrisette at Adams Field.
Quincy jumped out to an
early 5-0 lead, and after
Morrisette closed the score
to 5-4 with a four-run fourth
inning, Quincy exploded for
five additional runs in the
sixth inning to put the game
away.
Up 5-4 entering the sixth
inning, Quincy's Kevin
Bossart got the fi ve-mn frame
started with a walk. Teddy
Walsh followed with a
sacrifice bunt back to mound
and the throw to second to
force out Bossart sailed into
centerfield; a steal by Walsh
of second base put runners
on second and third with no
outs. Pinch hitter Steve
Kussman doubled home both
Bossart and Walsh for a 7-4
lead.
The run-scoring rally
continued with Mike Jay
reaching base via a walk,
putting runners at second and
first. Mike Leone's double
scored Kussman with the
third run of the inning and
Mike LeBel drove in Jay with
a sacrifice fly for the fourth
run of the sixth.
John Alexander followed
LeBel with a single and steal
of second base and Billy
Kiley drove in Alexander
with a two-out single for the
tenth and final run.
Down 5-0 after three
innings, Morrisette 's Trevor
Brown and Glen Misho
opened the fourth inning with
walks, putting mnners on first
and second with no outs.
After two quick outs
threatened to stop a scoring
rally for Morrisette, Alex
Tragellis came through with
a two-run, two-out double
scoring both Brown and
Misho, cutting the deficit to
5-2.
Morrisette would score
twice more on a Ricky
Salvucci double and after
four innings of play it was a
one run game at 5-4. But that
would be as close as
Morrisette would get as
Quincy went on to score those
five runs in the sixth inning.
Morrisette, which started
the season with a 4- 1 - 1 record
after six games, has dropped
five of six. The team ended
last week with a 1-3 record
including a 10-5 win over
West Roxbury and back-to-
back losses to first-place
Weymouth, 8-2 and 9-2.
Quincy Post started their
season with a 3-3 record and
since that point have gone 5-
1 , including the back-to-back
victories over JP and
Morrisette last week.
Quincy and Morrisette are
scheduled to play again today
(July 9) at Adams Field at 8
p.m.

12-year old Little League season as National League champions with a 10-6 record. Members of
the team included TJ Hobin, Tyler Beach, Patrick O'Connor, Troy Shepherd, Matt Kerin, Mike
Carnevale, Brenden Cox, Michael Coneys, Jake Bergonzi, Dylan Hughes, Adam McCormack,
Kevin Mock and Patrick Janeiro. The coaching staff included Thomas Hobin, Gerry Shepherd

Wollaston Blue Tops Milton
The Wollaston Blue, of
the Senior Babe Ruth league,
continued its successful
season with a huge win last
week over perennial
powerhouse Milton, 5-3.
Starting pitcher Tony
Salads and relief pitchers
Chris Doyle and Kevin
Magoon combined to allow
just five hits and the three
runs. Salads finished the
game as the winning pitcher.
The Wollaston Blue
defense played exceptional
behind the Salads, Doyle and
Magoon; finishing the game
with no errors and a number
of defensive gems. The
keystone combination of Rob
Yee and Tom Pepe turned
two double plays to quell
scoring rallies.
Doyle was the offensive
star of the game. He finished
with three hits and two RBIs.
Other offensive contributors
were Dave Griffin (two runs)
and Edwin Nunez, Chris
Timmins and Yee, all who
finished the game with a RBI.
Earlier last week,
Wollaston Blue defeated
Cedar Grove by forfeit and
its scheduled game against
the Wollaston Black was
postponed due to rain.
This week, Wollaston
Blue is scheduled to play
games against Braintree, All-
Dorchester Sports League
(ADSL) and Wollaston
Black.

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Don't be Sheepish about
asking questions and
demanding answers. You not
only gain needed informa-
tion, but also respect for your
steadfast search for the tmth.
TAURUS (Aiiril 20 to May
20) A money problem that
shows up early in the week is
expeditiously resolved by
savvy Bovines who know
how to turn a momentary
financial lapse into a mone-
tary gain.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) It's a good time to shed
ne^tive energy-draining
forces and develop a positive
approach to handling current,
as well as upcoming, person-
al and/or professional situa-
tions.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Your urge to do your best
on a current task is com-
mendable. But don't let it
become all-consuming.
Spend some spiritually
restorative time with those
who love you.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
This could be a good time for
all you Leos and Leonas to
take your bows for your
re<;ent achievements and then
go off to enjoy some fun
times with your prides and
joys.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) A negative
response to a well-inten-
tioned suggestion could com-
municate a sense of distmst
you might later find hard to
refute. Hiink carefully before
reacting.
LIBRA (Septonber 23 to
October 22) Your loving
attention comforts a family
member who is feeling a bit
out of sorts. But be careful to
prioritize your time so you
don't neglect your work
duties.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
Novanber 2 1 ) Your curiosity
might be resented by some.
But those who know you will
support your penchant for
never settling for less than the
truth. So stay with it.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21) A
pesky situation from the past
recurs, albeit in an altered
form. Deal with it promptiy
before it can go from merely
irksome to decidedly trouble-
some.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) Don't wait
too long to submit your pro-
posals after giving them a last
look-over. If necessary, you
should be able to defend any
portion called into question.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) A bid to use
your worlqjlace dispute-set-
tling skills in another situa-
tion is tempting. But be care-
ful: You might not have all
the facts you'll need if you
agree to do it.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) That sense of self-
doubt is so untypical of you,
you should have no quahns in
shaking it off. Remind your-
self of all you've done and
can do, and then do it again.
BORN THIS WEEK:
Your ability to charm others
without sacrificing sincerity
is what makes people want to
follow your leadership.

"You can preach a better sermon with
your life than with your lips."
This seems, does it not to be a self-
evident truth and a very good principle to
follow day by day in even the most trying
situations of life. The people who really
influence their contemporaries are those
who gain the respect of their fellowmen
by the way they live their lives day by day
"Come on, let's life! It is so easy to die; so easy to give up; so easy
to listen for the last note of Gabriel's trumpet
Come on, let's live! It is so easy to become discouraged, so easy
to forget to wind life's clock, so easy to forget to shut the door on
trouble; so easy to fail.
Come on, let's live! Let's be brave, and face today. It is our day.
Let's meet trouble and conquer it. Let's use smiles to chase away
the frowns.
Come on, let's live. Let's fill our hears with the truth of purpose.
Let's have hope for the future. Let's be honest and straightforward.
Come on, let's live! Let's look up and not down. Let's face the
storms of doubt with determination to win. Let's have faith in God
and sdf. Let's pray.
Come on, let's Uve!" . . . Everett Wentworth HiU

according to Peter Boybton
Adams.

casualties, Adams said, are
in "places mostly covered
with sand," rather than the
jungles of the Vietnam, but
tbe heartache, damages, and
needs are similar.
'*Our nation needs to do
far more for the inmiediate
(victims) of conflicts, all of
our women left behind," said
Adams, a veteran of the
Vietnam Conflict and a direct
descendant of the nation's
second and sixth presidents.
Adams spoke at the

Faxon Field is dead as the
site of a new 400-meter track
facility.
Or is it?
"This kills Faxon Field
for good," said David
McCarthy, vice chairman of
the School Committee, after
he and his colleagues had
voted 4-2 1 to take Faxon
Field off the table.
"We are fully conmiitted
to acting swiftly with a track
plan for Faxon Field," said
Mayor Thomas P. Koch, the
committee chairman, despite
the fact that the School
Board holds title to the prop-
erty.
Thus, the inmiovable ob-
ject may at last have con-
fronted the irresistible force
in the four-year fight to re-
place the old 352-yard track
that was lost when Veterans
Stadium was refurbished.
Voting to take Faxon
Field out of the running were
McCarthy, Anne Mahoney,
Kevin Mulvey and Elaine
Dwyer. Voting for Faxon
Field were Koch and Nick
Puleo. Jo-Ann Bragg voted
present.
"The location bothered
me," said McCarthy. "Route
3A and Coddington Street
are not back country roads.
That is the busiest intersec-
tion on the South Shore. I
don't think we can safely put
upwards of 300 kids at that
intersection.
"Now it will have to go
back to the mayor to look for
another location."
But the mayor apparently
has no intention of giving up
on Faxon Field.
"It's hard to imagine why
the School Committee would
take a vote without as much
as seeing a plan but we will
continue to move forward,"
he said in a statement issued
by his spokesman, Christo-
pher Walker.
"We are fully committed
to acting swiftly with a track
plan for Faxon Field. It is my
intention to have the engi-
neers do their work and, as
soon as we have the report
and the layouts ready, we
will hold a pubUc hearing for
all interested parties."
An alternate location fre-
quently mentioned is Pag-
eant Field in Merrymount
Park, which was approved
by the Park Board under
former Mayor William
Phelan, but rescinded 7- 1 by
a new Board under Koch,
with McCarthy, who is also
on the Park Board, dissent-
ing.
"I guess it depends on
who is in charge," said

Deputy Joseph Barron Named Acting Chief
Selection Process Begins
For New Fire Chief
Mayor Thomas Koch
Tuesday started the selection
process of a new Fire Chief
by requesting the Civil Ser-
vice list of candidates and by
naming an acting chief to im-
mediately replace retiring
Chief Timothy Pettinelli.
Koch named Deputy Fire
Chief Joseph Barron, the
most senior deputy willing to
accept the acting chief 's job,
to manage the department
while the mayor leads the
selection process for the next
permanent chief. Deputy
Chief George McGunigle,
Deputy Chief Gary Symth
and Captain Paul Griffith are
the top scorers on the last
Civil Service exam, taken in
2006.
"This will be a thorough,
fair and swift process guided
by Civil Service rules, and I
am looking forward to nam-
ing a chief whose priorities
are the safety of our city and
the safety of the firefighters
under his conmiand," Koch
said.
Koch said he will person-
ally conduct interviews of
the candidates, consult with
members of his leadership
team, and speak with rank-
and-file firefighters and fire
sjifety authorities from out-
side the department before
appointing a new chief.
The appointment of
Barron as Acting Chief fol-

Shea Sees 92,000 By November
Census Shows City's^
Population At 91,75d:
City Clerk Joseph Shea
announced the city's 2008
census shows a population
of 9 1,750, just 144 more than
reported last year.
However, Shea said that
figure is likely to increase
later this year due to the
Presidential Election.
"We'll definitely be at
92,000 by November and it
will hold," Shea said, noting
that census forms are mailed
in January when people are
less concerned about being
officially registered for
voting purposes.
However, Shea said that
JOSEPH SHEA
this is a presidential election
year. In election years, he
said that many people make
sure they are on the residents'
hst, "I'm very optimistic."
The 2007. census was
91,606 andtlhe 2p06x:ensus,
90,352. ' -
Shea noted that these
figures include all residents
of all ages while Ae voting
list, curreiitLy at 53^, lists
only eligible voters.
"That's the raw data,"
Shea said of the current
figure. He expects that his
staff will compile a
breakdown on the makeup of
the city's population by age
and divA-sity in the next
month.
Koch To Host Community Cookout
Mayor Thomas Koch will
host his second annual Com-
munity Cookout from 5 to 8
p.m. Thursday, Aug. 7 at
Pageant Field in
Merrymount Park.
The event, which Koch
started last year as a candi-
date for mayor, will feature
hot dogs and hamburgers,
Moonwalks and games for
youngsters, sports, bocce for
adults and entertainment.
The cookout is free.
"It was a great night of
family, friends and fun last
year, and we decided to make
it a tradition," Koch said. "I
want to invite everyone to
stop by. These are the kinds
of events that make our city
special-everyone getting to-
gether to share a few laughs
and relax. And there is no
better place than Pageant
Field for these kinds of com-
munity events."
Several hundred people
attended last year's event,
which is paid for by the
mayor's campaign commit-
tee. Koch has been visiting
community groups and orga-
nizations across the city dur-
ing his first six months in
office, but said he wanted to
get together with as many
people from around the city
in a more informal setting.
"I am looking forward to
seeing a lot of old friends,
and hopefully meeting some
new ones," Koch said. "And
if folks want to talk about
issues in the city, what's bet-
ter than doing it over burgers
and dogs?"

In Deteriorating Condition
Emergency Repairs For
Abigail Adams Cairn
Mayor Thomas Koch,
working with Ward 2 Coun-
cillor Daniel Raymondi, has
declared the deteriorating
condition of the historic
Abigail Adams Cairn on
Penns Hill an emergency,
which will allow repairs
needed to save the landmark
to begin shortly.
The Cairn, buih in 1896
to memorialize the spot
where Abigail and John
Quincy Adams, as a boy,
watched the Battle of Bun-
ker Hill June 17, 1775, has
been slowly crumbling for
the last several years. Today,
a large crack in the stone
structure can be seen plainly,
and a number of others are
present throughout the struc-
ture.
"At a time when our his-
tory as a city is receiving
unprecedented attention, we
have a responsibility to pro-
tect that history," said Koch.
"If we do not do something
now, we may lose this impor-
tant piece of our heritage for-
ever, and I am proud to work
with Councillor Raymondi
to get these repairs done as
soon as possible."
Added Raymondi:
"In addition to the historic
importance of the Caim, its
condition is clearly a public
safety issue. We are seeing
increasing numbers of visi-
tors to the site, and we sim-
ply cannot have the Caim
falling apart."
Koch declared the condi-
tion of the Caim an emer-
gency, which will speed up
the time it takes to get repairs
underway. The city is now
working with the Quincy
Historical Society and other
experts on how best to pro-
ceed, and officials expect
that repairs will begin within
a month.
The Caim, an ancient tra-
dition used to mark signifi-
cant places, was dedicated in
1896 and its construction
was sponsored by the
Daughters of the American
Revolution. At the time, the
DAR invited groups and in-
dividuals from across the
city to donate stones to be
used on the Caim, according
to Edward Fitzgerald, Ex-
ecutive Director of the
Quincy Historical Society.
With the surge of interest
in the Adams story, capped
by an acclaimed mini-series
on HBO this year, the Caim
and its Penns Hill location
have received renewed atten-
tion. The spot was shown in
a scene from the film, with
Abigail and John Quincy
Adams worriedly watching
the cannon-fire and billow-
ing smoke miles away dur-
ing the Battle of Bunker Hill.
"This is without question
an important landmark for
the city, and we are thrilled
that the city is going to pre-
serve it for future genera-
tions," said Jim Edwards,
President of the Historical
Society.
EXAMINING THE Abigail Adams Cairn are (from left) Quincy Historical Society President
Jim Edwards, Ward 2 Councillor Dan Raymondi, Mayor Thomas Koch and Quincy Historical
Society Executive Director Dr. Edward Fitzgerald. The caim will undergo emergency repairs in
coming weeks.

Oh, Those Prices!
How would you like to buy a house for $7,800 or
$11,600?
Youcould-in 195L
Six houses were advertised for sale in that price range
back then by Flavin & Flavin Realty, one of Quincy 's
oldest real estate and insurance firms.
In fact, you could buy all six of them for just $61,400.
Today, those same six houses would be valued at an
estimated combined $2,060,000.
Which underscores what Ed Flavin often notes:
"Buying a home is a long-term and safe investment
with increasing benefits."
Take a look at that 195 1 newspaper (Ledger) adver-
tisement:
QUINCY CENTER $10,500
Water Street location. Single 7 rooms and heated
sunparlor, tile cabinet kitchen, extra lavatory, modem
bath, oil steam heat, laundry in basement, 6000 ft.
fenced in lot, excellent condition. Open porch. Imme-
diate occupancy.
WOLLASTON $11,600
Norfolk Street location. Single home. 7 rooms, spa-
cious kitchen, screened porch, fireplace, oil steam heat,
continuous hot water, excellent condition. 7500 ft. lot
with beautifiil gardens and shade trees, garage. Owner
leaving state, hnmediate occupancy.
SQUANTUM $9,500
Vacant single, 5 rooms. Long living room, cabinet
kitchen, basement laundry, automatic hot air heat,
screened and glassed-in porch. Excellent condition.
NORFOLK DOWNS $10,500
Vacant. Must be sold to settle estate. 6 rooms and
heated sunroom, oil steam heat. Needs some fixing.
Garage. Give us an offer.
QUINCY $11,500
Great Hill section, near beach. 7 rooms and screened-
in porch, long living room, modem kitchen and bath,
extra lavatory. Forced hot water heat, continuous hot
water. Excellent condition. Immediate occupancy.
WEYMOUTH $7300
Near Jackson Square. 4 rooms and screened and
glassed-in porch, cabinet kitchen, oil hot air heat, good
lot, modem bath, garage. Immediate occupancy.
What are those houses worth today? Here's what
Ed estimates their value now:
QUINCY CENTER $10,500: %325,(m
WOLLASTON $11,600: $360,000
SQUANTUM $9,500: $325,000
NORFOLK DOWNS $10,500: $350j(m
QUINCY $11,500: $425,000
WEYMOUTH $7,800: $275,000
Of course, everything is relative. Median family in-
come was considerably lower in 195 1 than today. Those
$10,500 and $11,600 prices weren't as inexpensive as
they would be today.
But they prove real estate is a good investment.
And Ed says there are some good buys out there
today.
Ed also^notes that the Quincy-Braintree- Weymouth
area has one of the lowest foreclosure rates in the state.
Legal Clinics July 22, Aug 26
The Bar Association of
Norfolk County is sponsor-
ing free legal clinics on IXies-
day evenings from 6 to 8

ED FLAVIN of Flavin & Flavin Realty with a framed
copy of an advertisement liis firm ran in 1951 offering
some good buys in houses.
Quincy Sun Photo/Robert Bosworth
"People in this area bought through reputable real
estate firms and reputable banks, looking out for their
cUent's best interests.
"And most didn't make the mistake of going over
their head purchasing properties they couldn't afford."
Flavin & Ravin was founded in 1925 by Ed's two
uncles, Jim and Jdm Flavin. The latter, a well-known
attomey, was at one time city solicitor.
It's still a family business 83 years later. Even more
so.
With Ed, in the office, are his wife, Roseaim, brother
John, son Michael, cousin Marguerite, and niece
Maureen-all named Flavin.
By the way, Ed has that 195 1 advertisement fi^uned
and on display in the office.
It catehes the eye of clients who marvel at those long-
ago real estate prices.
Typical reaction: "Wouldn't I like to buy a house at
those prices today!"
Ed tells them some of today's prices are good con-
sidering the difference in median income and other
economic factors.

TRAFFIC ENGINEER Jack Gillon has eliminated
a dangerous situation at the Hancock Parking lot.
With the Farmer's Market there on Fridays some
customers have been parking on
McGrath Highway instead of driving
in.
The cars block the view of drivers
trying to use the monthly pass exit,
which is on the low side of a hill mak-
ing it difficult to see traffic coming
from the direction of Washington
Street.
Simple solution: Placing no parking cones along the
strip near the exit during the Farmer's Market hours.

Boule\>drd & Bathing Beach, Wollaston, Mass
1945
63 Years A^
THIS POSTCARD is a view of the WoUaston Boule-
vard and bathing beach shortly after the road was
opened 100 years ago in May 1908. On the right is Beach
Street When the Boulevard was first opened driving
through cow pastures to reach the Fenno or Atlantic
Street ends of the road was the only way to access it.
The Metropolitan Commission also insisted that boat-
ers could not use wagons with wheels to get their boats
across the roadway to the yacht clubs because the wheels
created ruts in the sand road surface. Instead, they were
to use Sachem Brook under the Boulevard to float their
boats to the clubhouses. Protests quickly led to the
Beach Street opening and the curb cuts across the way
to access the yacht club docks. It was several more years
before the ends of the road we know today were com-
pleted. The elm tree was the last of a small grove of
elms probably planted by the Quincy family who had
owned the land south of Sachem Brook since colonial
times. The elms provided shade for a grassy knoll that
was next to a small beach before the Boulevard was
built. To contact Tom Galvin, e-mail

Quincy Center Concourse ^Strikes' Again: The RMV
Last week, the local me-
dia trumpeted the relocation
of Quincy 's Registry of Mo-
tor Vehicles office — as if
moving the Registry from
downtown Quincy to the out-
skirts of Braintree is some-
how more convenient for
most citizens.
The Quincy Center Con-
course has struck again.
This ill-conceived four-
lane roadway straight
through Quincy Center
hasn't even been built yet,
and already it's wreaking
havoc on downtown Quincy.
While the road languishes on
the drawing board — some
40 years after it was first pro-
posed — vacant lots are
cropping up throughout the
downtown area, as vibrant,
successful businesses are
demolished and displaced to
make way for a road that
nobody wants.
Ironically, our elected of-
ficials claim the city "needs"
the Concourse to
prevent downtown
companies like Stop & Shop
from leaving Quincy Center.
Well, here's a reality
check: The Registry of Mo-
tor Vehicles was a downtown
employer, too, and one that
brought thousands of people
to Quincy Center every week
— people who may have
stopped for lunch, picked up
a newspaper or run a few er-
rands while in the downtown
area to get their Ucense re-
newed.
It seems, in fact, that his-
tory is repeating itself. When
Sears left Quincy Center in
the early 1980s, many
patrons abandoned down-
town Quincy to
flock to Sears' new location
in Braintree.
Now, thanks to the Con-
course, the building that re-
placed Sears is being demol-
ished— once again
driving downtown busi-
nesses and their patrons to
Braintree.
And City Hall calls this
progress?
Jennifer Logue

(Editor's Note: The
Quincy Sun did not trumpet
the Registry of Motor Ve-
hicles moving to Braintree.
On the contrary, we think it
is a great loss for Quincy.)
99th Squantum Fourth Parade Crowd Pleaser
As usual the annual Fourth
of July parade in Squantum
was the best way to start off
America's Birthday.
It was a great parade and
all onlookers agreed. It
kicked off without a hitch.
The threatening skies held
back the rain as the parade
marched forward. Big hits as
usual were the endless line
of classic cars, the neighbor-
hood floats, marching bands
and Uncle Sam. This year the
Light Brigade Drum and
Bugle band from Revere was
a big surprise. They received
loud cheers from Quincyites.
The pols were there too.
How could you have a pa-
rade without them?
One of the nicest groups
in the parade was the group
collecting suppUes in a truck
for our troops overseas in
harm's way. Thanks to state
Senator Michael Morrissey
and state Rep. Bruce Ayers,
the Nickerson Legion Post
and Squantum folks who
wanted to show our support
for those risking their lives
for us over in Iraq and Af- said, "Everyone likes fire-
ghanistan. This was the 99* works but everyone loves a
parade. Next year it will be good parade."

City's Attention
On World War II
By FRANK McCAULEY
Quincy's attention was on World War II developments:
Premier Stalin conferred with President Truman at the little
White House today in company with
their foreign affairs officials, a few
hours before the world-shaping Big
Three Conference was scheduled to
start.
The Generalissimo, attired as a
Marshall of the Soviet Union, was «—---«--— -------------i
accompanied by Commissioner V. Molotov. They were
guests of President Truman at a luncheon.
President Truman had previously met with British Prime
Minister Winston Churchill.
(Editor's note: The meeting of the Big Three was held at
Potsdam, Germany, where President Truman informed Stalin
that the United States possessed an atomic bomb and the
Soviet Union agreed to enter the war against Japan.)
AMERICAN FLEET STRIKES TWO NEAR TOKYO
The American Pacific fleet steamed almost to the gates of
Tokyo to unlimber its warships' huge batteries against Japa-
nese shore targets and pile tons of high explosives on the
Japanese homeland already rocked from the continuous air
strikes of 1500 American and British carrier borne planes.
Admiral Chester W. Nimitz reported that the naval bom-
bardment was concentrated on cities 75 miles north of To-
kyo.
Admiral William F. "Bull" Halsey's Third Fleet was car-
rying out the attack led by the battleship Iowa and other war-
ships. The continued attacks up ad down the Japanese coast
to date have resulted in the sinking of 140 Japanese ships
with damage to another 234 ships.

'John Adams: The Voice Heard 'Round The
World' At Adams National Historical Park
Boston Landmarks Orchestra
To Premier Newest Piece For
Young Audiences July 24
Charles Ansbacher, con-
ductor and artistic director of
the Boston Landmarks Or-
chestra, announces the or-
chestra will premier its new-
est piece for young audi-
ences, "John Adams: The
Voice Heard 'Round the
World," composed by An-
thony DiLorenzo with text
by Marian Carlson Thursday,
July 24, 6:30 p.m. at Beale
Estate, Adams National His-
torical Park.
"John Adams: The Voice
Heard 'Round the World,"
tells the story of the Ufe and
triumphs of second President
of the United States, John
Adams, through the eyes of
his oldest son, John Quincy
Adams. Aimed to particu-
larly capture the attention of
audience members ages 4 to
12, the music mimics Revo-
lutionary cannon shots and
drum-line marches.
"We wanted to introduce
orchestral music to younger
audiences through a piece
that speaks to them as chil-
dren, reinforces important
local history and of course
entertains," said Ansbacher.
"And we couldn't have
asked for a better composer/
writer team than Anthony
and Marian. Marian's text
really allows children to
identify with Adam's son,
John Quincy, while
Anthony's score brings the
Revolutionary era to life
with strong drum move-
ments and flute solos. It ab-
solutely induces imagination
and captures the attention of
the audience at any age."

NORFOLK COUNTY DISTRICT Attoraey WUliam Keating (left facing camera), and Secre-
tary of Elder Affairs Michael Festa, (right) talk to Norfolk County seniors during a break at
D.A. Keating's seventh annual Senior Summit
Dozens From Quincy Join DA Keating,
Elders Affairs Secretary At Senior Summit
More than 250 Norfolk
County seniors, including
about 40 from Quincy, joined
District Attorney Bill
Keating recently for his Se-
nior Summit providing local
activists the chance to net-
work with their counterparts
from across the county while
hearing from speakers on
ways to keep elders con-
nected, healthy and safe.
Secretary of Elder Af-
fairs Michael Festa spoke
about the evolution of the
Department he heads and
state-wide issues important
to seniors but also took tinje
to recognize the importance
of outreach events like the
Senior Sunmiit.
"Bill Keating is known
state-wide as a leader in the
protection of seniors who
have been harmed because of
their vulnerability," Secre-
tary Festa said. "The DA's
(first) job is to prosecute, but
there is so much more to the
protection of seniors."
Dr. Wayne Westcott, a
nationally recognized expert
on the benefits of exercise
and nutrition in keeping se-
niors healthy and vibrant,
spoke on wellness and
chronic disease prevention.
Rosemary Verri, "The
Lady of Laughter," followed
with her take on the benefits
of laughter for all ages.
"For seven years, we have
tried to have the Senior Sum-
mit serve as a hub for com-
munication with and among
elder activists in Norfolk
County, but to do so in a way
that is as engaging as it is
informative," District Attor-
ney Keating said after the
event.
"Our experience demon-
strates that seniors who are
engaged in their conmiuni-
ties and families are less
likely to be touched by a host
of problems - including
crime."
The Quincy delegation
at the Senior Summit at
Lombardo's in Randolph in-
cluded Ellen Canty, Emily

An ankle sprain is a com-
mon injury that affects the
soft tissues, typically the
ligament, of the ankle. It is
the number one injury con-
cerning the ankle. A sprain
occurs when the ankle liga-
ments on the outside of the
foot are stretched, even to
the point of a partial or com-
plete tear. Depending on
the severity of the damage,
an ankle sprain can often
force sufferers to refrain
from physical activity for
weeks. People who supi-
nate, or roll to the outside of
their ankles, tend to get re-
peated ankle sprains. This
action further weakens the
ankle and helps perpetuate
continued sprains. Severe
injury requires x-rays to
determine If there is any
bone damage.
Some people believe the
old adage that "it is better to
break an ankle than to sprain
one." However, this is by no
means true if the injury is
appropriately diagnosed
and treated by a podiatrist.
As a specialist in foot and
ankle conditions, he or she
is the most qualified person
to help rehabilitate an in-
jured ankle or foot and bring
it back to nomial function.

conditions, we offer a full

Babe Ruth World Series
Plans Heading For Home
Plans for the national
Babe Ruth World Series are
heading for home with orga-
nizers, city officials, business
leaders and volunteers step-
ping up their efforts with the
showcase event expected to

Quincy.
The official Babe Ruth

Department headquarters in
Merrymount Park, and tick-
ets for the August 16-23
event at Adams Field on sale
now at locations throughout
the city (a list of locations
appears at the end of this
story).
"It is coming together
great, and we believe that
this year might be the best of
the three tournaments we
have hosted in Quincy," said
Babe Ruth World Series
Committee President Dick
Lombardi.
Added Mayor Koch:
"This is going to be a
wonderful event for the city,
and it is thanks to so many
volunteers who have worked
tirelessly for months. We are
in constant contact with the
committee, and have pledged
the full resources of the city
to make the World Series as
successful as possible."
The Babe Ruth office will
be open weekdays from 10

World Series Committee
Vice President John Norton
said volunteers are still be-
ing sought for a wide range
of duties, and families are
still needed to act as host
families for some of the play-
ers that will be converging
on Quincy for the weeklong
event.
Norton also announced
that the Babe Ruth Commit-
tee is now offering "booster"
sponsorships, where resi-
dents can donate $ 10 to con-
tribute a line in the program
book. Anyone wishing to
become a World Series

plans to showcase the city to
the first-time visitors.

John Quincy Adams Out From Father's Shadow
(Cont'd From Page 1)
Michael Morrissey and
Mayor Thomas Koch
brought greetings from the
state.
"He very much set the
stage for what the Navy is
today," said Bullard,
describing Adams' doctrine
of preparedness and
prevention as well as
"collective security efforts."
As for his legacy, it "defies
description it is so large,"
said Bullard while Mary
Claffey, Massachtisetts
Historical Society, quoted a
description f^^dams as "a
natural forded jBke J^iagara
Falls."
Claffey noted that Adams
kept a diary over 68 years
totaling more than 68,000
pages covering the
Revolution and the growth
of the United States.
Morrissey read the
proclamation from Governor
Deval Patrick decreeing July
11 as "John Quincy Adams
Day."
Koch cited Adams'
vision, noting he was far
ahead of his time in
supporting the federal reserve
and national highway system
and defending the enslaved
shipwrecked sailors of the
Armistead.
*.i During Adams' 18 years
ijfeBt-Gongress, "His voice
'%ainst slavery was heard
loud and clear," said Koch.
Many of the speakers
noted that his father, John
Adams, the second president
of the United States, has long
overshadowed John Quincy
Adams.
"John Quincy often stays
in the shadows but for some
of us, he's our favorite," said
Dr. Edward Fitzgerald,
Chairman of the Quincy
Historical Society.
It has taken over two
centuries but the nation's
sixth president, John Quincy
Adams, is finally getting the
honors and credit he so richly
deserves, according to his
ARTHUR DUCHARME,
Director, Adams Historic
Interpretive Program at
United Fu^t Parish Church
Unitarian, said John Quincy
Adams was one of our greatest
statesmen.
admirers.
It is possible that Adams'
personality hindered his
biographers' efforts.
Describing John Quincy
Adams' temperament, Peter
Adams said, "He probably
wasn't the easiest person to
get along with."
Speakers cited Adams'
presidency, his diplomatic
successes, his congressional
actions, his work as an
abolitionist, and his
promulgation of the Monroe
Doctrine,
Adams' service to his
country spanned six decades
beginning with his stint as a
14-year-old translator,
according to Caroline
Keinath, Deputy
Superintendent of the Adams
National Historical Park.
"No office is beneath him
if his country calls," said
Keinath of the president
whose priorities were God
first, country second, and
family.
Arthur Ducharme^
Director, Adams Historic
Interpretive Program, called
Adams' "one of our nation's
greatest statesmen" and
described the importance of
Adams' wife of 51 years,
Louisa Catherine Adams,
whose wit, and charm aided
his success.
Life was not always easy
for the couple who lost three
children, one son and two
daughters.
Ducharme reminded
congregants that the First
Church is the only church "to
serve as the final resting place
for two presidents and their
wives."
Kirtland Switzer,
President, United First
Church, welcomed visitors
to the service which
concluded with the laying of
the wreath on John Quincy
Adams' tomb in the lower
church. WilUam Westland,
Vice-President, offered the
closing words and Rev.
Sheldon Bennett the prayers
and benediction.
An early morning
breakfast at the Adams
Academy, headquarters for
the Quincy Historical
Society, preceded the church
services.
At the breakfast, some 50
persons enjoyed fresh
strawberries and dainty
breads, insights into Adams'
history, as well as an update
on the city ' s tourism and local
movie production initiatives.
Quincy 2000 and
Discover Quincy sponsored
the breakfast. Councillors
Douglas Gutro, Ward 5, and
Daniel Raymondi, Ward 2
joined Koch with greetings
from the city.
Thanks to the recent HBO
series, tourism is growing by
leaps and bounds, according
to breakfast speakers, Mark
Carey, Director of Tourism,
and Caroline Keinath,
Deputy Superintendent of the
Adams National Historical
Park.
Keinath described
arriving in Quincy in 1987,
asking for directions, and
being sent to the Adams'
birthplaces rather than "The
Old House" on Adams Street
because few people thought
about the Adams legacy.
That changed with David
McCullough's book, "John
Adams," said Keinath who

described "this ride that
we've been on" that's
brought over 200,000 tourists
to Quincy.
Speakers cited the major
highlights and
accomplishments of Adams'
life from his standing on
Penn's Hill with his mother
to watch the Battle of Bunker
Hill in Charlestown to his
nine terms as a Congressman
concluding with his death at
80.
Several described Adams
as the best Secretary of State
in American history. He
spoke seven languages,
served as an ofiicial translator
at age 14, as a United State
senator and as a minister to
Russia.
In addition, he read, wrote
and translated poetry and
undertook scientific
experiments.
At the church service, the
Quincy Choral Society
directed by John Nichols, the
United States Navy Brass
Ensemble, Newport, RI
provided the music, along
with soloist Dorothy Adams
and organist Kathleen Adams

(ARA) - You've seen the
real estate listings: "in need
of TLC," "fixer-upper," and
"great potential." While some
cringe at the thought of buy-
ing a house that needs to be
renovated, others see a
chance to get a great deal on
a house they can customize
and make their own.
Thanks to recent changes
in the real estate market, a
surplus of homes is available
for purchase across the coun-
try. While some are in move-
in condition, others need
work. For those wiUing to
take on the added time and
effort of renovation, the re-
wards can be great.
"A fixer-upper can pro-
vide great opportunities for
homeowners," says Scott
Medrow, national consumer
sales manager for GMAC
Mortgage. "However, one of
the most common miscon-
ceptions that scares off po-
tential buyers is that they need
to have a lot of cash on hand
to pay for the improvements
a fixer-upper may require.
That is simply not true."
Many lenders offer reno-
vation loans, which feature a
single loan for buying the
home and fixing it up, ex-
plains Medrow. Homebuyers
get access to increased bor-
rowing power up front to fi-
nance the renovations and im-
provements that their fixer-
upper needs. There' s also the
potential for lower monthly
payments by financing a
mortgage and renovation to-
gether with improvement
costs spread across the term
of the loan.
So beyond the numbo"
crunching, why consider a
fixer-upper?
* The most obvious rea-
son to buy a fixer-upper is
the reduced cost. Quite sim-
ply, homes that require work
are harder for real estate pro-
fessionals to sell. There is
often more room for price
negotiation if the home needs
work.
* You get to be your own
designer. Much like buying a
newly constructed home, you
can pick the paint colors, car-
pet, appliances or design fea-
tures to transform the home
into your dream home. You
have control over how the
house will look after the reno-
vations are complete.
* Location, location, lo-
cation. Sometimes the only
chance to get into a desirable
neighborhood is to find a
fixer-upper. It's a great way
to purchase a home in an area
that might otherwise be out
of reach.
Buying a fixer-upper
comes with risk, however.
Before you sign on the dot-
ted line to purchase one, take
a close look at the repairs it
will need. If there are major
structural deficiencies, the
cost of improvement might
outweigh the adjusted value
of the house post-renovation.
A professional home inspec-
tor can help you determine if
the house is worth renovat-
ing. An inspector will tell
you whether the mechanical,
electrical and plumbing sys-
tems are functioning prop-
erly and can provide addi-
tional information that may
factor into your decision.
If you decide to move for-
ward, consider these renova-
tion tips from GMAC Mort-
gage:
* Among the most poten-
tially profitable fixer-uppers
are homes that need relatively
minor cosmetic repairs,,
which may allow you to
quickly build equity in your
home through minor work,
such as painting, replacing
carpet or updating appli-
ances.
* You can further build
equity by considering larger-
scale renovations. Adding
square footage, building a
second story or adding abath-
room can increase the value
of your home. Building a
deck enhances your enjoy-
ment of your outdoor space
and can allow you to recover
as much as 85 percent of the
costs with increased home
value.
* Renovating the kitchen,
bathroom or other common
areas can be among the most
profitable types of renova-
tions. Adding new light fix-
tures, vanities with plenty of
storage, ceramic tile or
marble, and a new paint color
scheme can dramatically
change the appeal.
* Converting an attic into
a bedroom or adding a fam-
ily room are great ways to
add value and let your home
grow along with your fam-
ily.
* Replacing your old fur-
nace, putting in new Windows
and doors, and replacing your
roof can pay you back with
savings on energy costs while
enhancing the home's resale
value. Some states even of-
fer credits for remodeling
projects that enhance energy
efficiency.

A Job Well Done
On Thursday, July 10, at approximately 3:25 a.m..
Officer Daniel Church was on patrol and randomly
queried via mobile
computer the license plate
on a green Ford Van parked
in the parking lot of
Walgreen's Pharmacy
located at 418 Quincy Ave.
The query showed that
the registered owner had a
warrant for "Failing to
Appear for Probation."
Officer Church approached
the driver's door of the
vehicle and asked the driver
for identification. The driver produced his license by
partially opening his door an^ reaching into the pocket of
the driver's door. The driver stated that he was just
waiting for his friend who was in the store shopping.
At this time, Officer Thomas Gaeta Jr. arrived to assist
and after the warrant was confirmed, the driver was
handcuffed and placed under arrest. The driver/suspect
insisted that his friend take his vehicle and repeatedly
stated that there was no reason to search the vehicle.
Officer Gaeta, conducting an inventory search of the
suspect's motor vehicle, discovered a can of Pepper
Foam (labeled "Law Enforcement Use Only") and what
appeared to be a sheathed knife in the pocket of the
driver's door, the same area where the suspect had
previously retrieved his license. A closer inspection of
the sheathed knife showed that it was a pointed tipped,
double-edged knife.
During a search of the vehicle, another knife was
located in the center console of the vehicle well within
reach of anyone sitting in the driver's seat.
Officer Gaeta also located in the center console a
small zipped pouch containing two glass tubes. One of
the tubes contained a small ornamental flower; the other
contained steel wool ^t one end, burned on the other end,
and had remnants of a white pasty substance along the
interior. A large piece of steel wool was located on the
floor between the front seats along with a small cylindrical
container containing a trace amount of an unknown
white powdery substance. A water bottle was found in
the pocket of the driver's door that contained four
hypodermic needles (3 unopened, 1 opened).
In the rear storage compartment of the vehicle, Officer
Church located a case of hypodermic needles, which
contained approximately 1 00-200 unopened hypodermic
needles. Through the Officer's training and experience,
it was known that these items are commonly used to store
or consume illegally controlled substances. The glass
tubes, the steel wool, and the small cylindrical container
were seized as evidence. The four hypodermic needles
in the water bottle were taken to be disposed of safely.
Once the search was completed. Officer Church asked
the suspect who his friend was so that he could take the
vehicle. The suspect then said it was a male who was
getting in the back seat of a taxi just outside of the store
doors.
Officer Church approached the male and questioned
him. This male said that although he knew the suspect,
he did not arrive with him nor had he planned to leave
with him. After a warrant check and a criminal record
check, which indicated multiple drug offenses, the male
was permitted to leave in the taxi.
A store associate confirmed that there were no other
customers in the store. The suspect, a 50-year-old
Braintree resident was charged with "Violation of
Probation Warrant, Carrying a Dangerous Weapon
(Pepper Foam), Carrying a Dangerous Weapon (Double-
Edged Knife) and Carrying a Dangerous Weapon (Knife).
Nice Work!
PAST BREAKS AND ATTEMPTS: Fenno Street

numbers of Willard Street, 100 block of Taffrail
Road, 100 block of President's Lane.
THE SAME SCAM OVER AND OVER: Quincy
residents, especially seniors, are constantly being
victimized by the scam of receiving a check from a
lottery or contest, then instructed to cash the check, keep
a large amount and send a portion to a specified address
to pay for taxes or administrative fees. The check is
bogus, but the check (often a cashier's check or money
order) the victim sends is valid and the victim will be out
the money.
If you have older parents or neighbors, please talk to
them about the scammers. If you are part of an
organization and would like me to talk about a variety of
scams, please contact me at (617) 745 5719.

Koch To Pursue
Faxon Field As
New Track Site
Selection Process Begins
For New Fire Chief
(Cont'd From Page 1)
Mahoney. "Every two years
we could get a new track site
along with a new mayor.
"It's frustrating to me.
The stadium was finished
four years ago and the track
kids are still being driven
down to the Cape for their
sport. Their families want a
solution. We need the track.
"But Faxon Field is not a
good site. I've talked to the
neighbors and they tell of
extensive flooding. There are
problems with parking and
wetlands. Maybe it was a
mistake to take the track out
of Veterans Stadium."
Dwyer was afraid placing
the track on Faxon Field
might jeopardize environ-
mental agreements made to
clear the way for construc-
tion of the new Quincy High
which abuts Faxon Field
down Coddington Street,
"I've never liked the lo-
cation," she said. "There is a
multitude of reasons. The
congested area can't handle
that additional traffic. It's
still subjected to floods. Wet-
land agreements made for
the high school might be re-
opened for more appeals."
She recommended that an
unbiased outsider be brought
in to decide placement of the
track.
"Someone who is not re-
lated to someone else in the
matter," she said.
Mulvey ticked off a laun-
dry list of concerns that
swayed his vote against
Faxon Field.
"There's too much traffic
on Route 3 A and Coddington
Street," he said. "There's the
pollution and the lack of
parking and the flooding.
There's the wetland agree-
ments that were made to
build the high school. Would
they be open to appeal?"
Puleo, who voted with the
mayor in favor of Faxon
Field, called it "a disgrace"
that the city has gone with-
out a track for four years.
"My colleague chose to
extend it another five or ten
years," he said. "More infor-
mation is due on cost analy-
sis and traffic studies. It was
not provided. There is no
harm in waiting.
"My colleagues without
information made a decision
that is important to the chil-
dren."
Bragg, who voted
present, said she didn't feel
she had enough information
to cast a vote while awaiting
the mayor's promised report
from Gale Associates.
"I didn't feel comfort-
able," she said.

ana in the aftermath of Hur-
ricane Katrina.
"Deputy Chief Barron has
done the job before, and he
is not a candidate on the ex-
isting list, so none of the can-
didates will have an advan-
tage," Koch said. "I have full
confidence in Deputy
Barron's leadership while
this process moves forward."
Koch settled on a selec-
tion process after an exten-
sive review by he city's law
and human resources depart-
ments of events leading up
to Pettinelli's retirement,
which included several is-
sues that muddled the pro-
cess. Among those issues:
The last Civil Service
exam for chief's candidates
was held in 2(X)6 and was .set
to expire prior to Pettinelli's
scheduled retirement.
Former Mayor William
Phelan called for an a new
exam prior to leaving office
last year, with those results
expected to be in effect when
Pettinelli retired. But to few
people signed up for the test,
meaning that the old Civil
Service list would need to be
extended.
Pettinelli moved up his
retirement date from October
to July of this year.
"We've worked hard over
the last six months to start
addressing the needs of our
firefighters and the needs of
the fire department, and the
selection of a new chief is an
exciting opportunity to con-
tinue that progress," Koch
said.

Prepare Your
Body for Active
Vacation
2.^
SI
.My family and I
> have a trip planned
summer to Europe,
where we will be walking
and hiking a lot more than
I had planned. What can I
do to prepare for this trip
so I do not spend the entire
time sore or, even worse,
ii^ured?
A .Preparing for vaca-
• tions that might be
physically demanding can
be just as important as
remembering to pack every-
thing. Taking time to pre-
pare your body for the trip to
come should be on your list
of things to do prior to leav-
ing.
Being able to enjoy your
vacation injury-free is
important. Begin at least a
month before the trip to give
yourself enough time to
condition your body. If you
are not currently exercising,
you might need to start even
earlier. Although starting to
exercise a week before the
trip is better than nothing,
you want to give yourself
enough time to allow your
body to adjust. Working
hard for a few weeks before
the trip might make you
even sorer, but that should-
n't discourage you. Get
moving, but pace yourself.
If you are accustomed to
working out, keep up your
currently workout schedule
and add a few exercises to
prepare for walking and hik-
ing. If you're using a tread-
n^, try walking at an
incline; if walking outside,
try to find hills to prepare
for walking uphill. Strength
training is always a plus, as
it will prepare your muscles
for the endurance required
for days and days of activity.
If you plan to walk or hike
carrying a backpack, prac-
tice walking with it so your
legs, shoulders and back can
get accustomed to the added
weight. You may be used to
walking at home in the
neighborhood, but the
added weight of the back-
pack and its contents could
make it more challenging.
Don't forget to wear the
proper clothes and shoes.
The wrong shoes can cause
blisters and make your vaca-
tion miserable. Break-in any
new shoes prior to the trip
— don't wait to wear them
the first day of your trip.
Taking care of your body
to prevent injuries is a top
priority. Know your limita-
tions and handle any small
issues as soon as possible.
Stretch when needed, ice if
necessary and rest if possi-
ble. Remember that
although you are on vaca-
tion, the activities you will
be completing are just like a
workout at the gym. Let
your hard work exercising
pay off by having an enjoy-
able and safe vacation.
Always consult a physi-
cian before beginning an
exercise program. If you
have a fitness or training
question, write to Andrea in
care of King Feature sWeek-
ly Service, P.O. Box 536475.

NO GYM DANDY!
While much attention has ther. We are highly experienced,
—i
been focused on the unhealthy
effects of anabolic steroids,
which have been illegally used
by athletes to pump up their
muscles, dentists see another
side of the problem. What
many people do not realize is
that these harmful drugs also
stimulate the growth of the
gums, which places steroid
users at risk for severe gum
infection. The fact is that gum
tissue is affected by sex hor-
mones. When researchers ex-
amined the gums of body
builders who took anabolic ste-
roids for less than one year and
compared them with those of
non-users, they found the ste-
roid users' gums to be thicker,
enlarged, and overgrown.
These changes make gums sig-
nificantly more likely to trap
plaque and become infected.
For quality dental care for
the entire family, look no fur-
friendly, and honored by the op-
portunity to serve you. We of-
fer a comfortable, informal, and
relaxed atmosphere throughout
our dental office. Our gaol is to
reduce traditional dental anxi-
eties. To do that, we stress an
attitude of prevention, rather
than repair-and-wait. Along
with bringing intensive training
to our practice, we keep up to
date on the newest techniques
and technologies. We're located
at 44 Greenleaf Street. Call

vices of anesthesiology with a

berty, pregnancy, and meno-
pause, and with the use of oral

Active Summer Days Call For A Good Night's Sleep
( ARA) - Professional ath-
letes know that adequate
sleep is as crucial to peak
performance as any other
aspect of training. Sleep not
only provides physical rest
for our bodies, but mental
rest and renewal for our
minds. Most people recog-
nize the benefits of sleep, so
why don't we make itaprior-
ity?
'Too many people dis-
miss sleep as an activity that
can be reduced when life gets
too busy, when in reality it is
one of the most important
things you can do to live a
healthy and productive life,"
says Dr. Howard Fidler, a
chiropractor in St. Louis
Park, Miim. "Lack of sleep
can lead to loss of focus and
productivity at work and in
other areas of life. It can even
make it difficult for your
muscles to bounce back after
a tough workout."
According to the Tempur-
Pedic's 2008 Night-time Re-
newal Survey, people agree
with Dr. Fidler. Of those sur-
veyed, 92 percent say that
quality sleep is nighttime re-
newal for the mind and body
and 90 percent agree that
when they sleep well, they're
more productive the next day .
"Playing in the NBA, I'm
always pushing my body to
the limit. At night, I know I
need to get the best sleep
possible so I remain in opti-
mal physical condition," says
Sam Cassell, point guard for
the Boston CeUics.
Dr. Fidler suggests
Cassell, other athletes, and
anyone looking for a better
night's rest follow these tips
to get the best sleep possible:
1) Comfort
Comfort is an important
part of getting a good night' s
sleep. Choose sheets and
blankets that are comfortable
and allow for air circulation.
Make siure your bedroom is
dark, quiet, cool and free of
interruptions. Finally, select
a mattress that is supportive
and relieves your body of
pressure so you can sleep
soundly.
"Pressure management is
the process of absorbing and
redistributing pressure
evenly across the entire sur-
face of your body," says Dr.
Fidler. "Equalizing pressure
on your joints and spine re-
duces pain and disturbances
to helps you get a restful.
deep sleep."
This is especially impor-
tant for people with back
problems or for those who
are very active at any level.
"I use a Tempur-Pedic mat-
tress because it helps take the
pressure off my back and
joints so my body heals and I
get the rest I need for the next
big game," says Cassell.
2) Diet
Just as a healthy diet can
increase your quality of sleep,
an unhealthy one can disrupt
it. For quality sleep, eat a
healthy diet throughout the
day and try to follow these
general rules:
* Avoid alcohol and caf-
feine products before bed. If
you need to drink something,
choose water, non-
caffeinated tea or hot choco-
late (which has very little
caffeine).
* Try not to eat two hours
prior to bed. If you do need a
snack before you sleep, keep
it light.
* Nicotine is a stimulant
and should be avoided be-
fore bed.
3) Exercise
"Most people don't real-
ize that your work-out can
affect your sleep but I find
that exercising helps me use
up energy so that I sleep bet-
ter," comments Cassell.
Because many of us sit
behind desks all day, society
in general is much less active
than it was 100 years ago.
Utilizing these warm months
to stay active will help you
live healthier and sleep bet-
ter.
"It's best to do these ac-
tivities diuing the daylight
hours because if you exer-
cise too close to your bed-
time, your body will remain
alert, making the process of
falling asleep more difficult,"
says Dr. Fidler. "Do any
physical activities at least 2
to 3 hours before you plan to
go to sleep."
4) Relaxation
Plarming a regular sleep
schedule can drastically in-
crease your ability to fall
asleep and stay asleep. Some
people choose to take baths
or read before bed. This regu-
lar activity becomes a signal
for the body to relax and pre-
pare for sleep. Relaxation
techniques such as light yoga
and meditation can also aid
the body in preparing for
sleep.
Dust Off The Picnic Basket For Good, Clean Fun
(ARA) - Nothing says
summer quite like a picnic.
What better way to enjoy the
long leisurely days than with
a meal outside with friends
and family? But food storage
issues can quickly turn a
pleasant afternoon into a
problematic situation. Warm
weather can cause food spoil-
age and cross-contamination,
but with proper care, the only
worry you will have at your
picnic is how to keep the ants
away.
Dr. Vickie Vaclavik, a
culinary instructor at The
International Culinary
School at The Art Institute of
Dallas, says the first step is to
pack your cooler correctly so
the food arrives safely. To
avoid cross-contamination,
says Dr. Vaclavik, "have one
cooler specifically for raw
meat, fish, and poultry, and
use a separate cooler for
ready-to-eat foods and
drinks." If only one cooler is
available, "seal any raw meat,
fish, and poultry in plastic
containers or plastic bags,
since the raw juices are
loaded with bacteria and can
easily contaminate other
foods."
While driving to the pic-
nic spot, keep your cooler on
the floor of the car, not in the
easily overheated trunk. A
prime source of food-borne
illness is keeping food at un-
safe temperatures. Once you
arrive at the picnic site, keep
the cooler under a tree or
bench to avoid direct sun-
light. If the temperature ex-
ceeds 85 degrees Fahrenheit,
do not let the food sit out on
the picnic table for more than
an hour, and put perishables
back into the cooler immedi-
ately after eating.
Many picnics center
around grilling. "Make sure
meat, fish, and poultry are
completely defrosted before
grilhng to allow for even
cooking," says Dr. Vaclavik.
"When reheating at the pic-
nic, bring a good thermom-
eter and make sure the food
reaches 165 degrees Fahren-
heit."
Clean hands are also im-
portant when preparing pic-
nic meals. If there is no run-
ning water nearby, use an
antibacterial cleanser or
wipe. Properly store any left-
overs in plastic storage con-
tainers to keep them fresh
and bacteria-free, and discard
any food that has been sitting
out for over two hours.
With these tips, your pic-
nic will not only be fun, but it
will be safe!

Morrisette,
Quincyin
Playoff Hunt
By SEAN BRENNAN
The post-season aspira-
tions for the two American
Legion baseball clubs in
Quincy will be decided this
week as the District 6 East
regular season schedule con-
cludes.
The District 6 East Ameri-
can Legion playoff picture is
slowly coming into focus
and both Quincy Legion and
Morrisette Legion are still
alive with the chance to ad-
vance to the postseason tour-
nament.
For Quincy (9-7 overall),
the playoffs are a given. At
9-7, Quincy Legion is as-
sured a spot in the five-team
District 6 East bracket. The
only question that remains
for Quincy is whether they
will be the fifth seed or the
fourth seed.
With two games remain-
ing against Jamaica Plain
and Hyde Park Legion,
Quincy needs just one win to
secure the fourth position in
District 6 East. This year's
playoff appearance will be
the Quincy's second in a row
following a playoff drought
that started in 2005.
For Morrisette (5-11-1
overall) to advance to the
post-season, a number of dif-
ferent scenarios need to fall
into place, and at this point,
that does not look like it will
happen. With one game re-
maining against Holbrook
Legion, Morrisette needs to
defeat Holbrook, have Hyde
Park and Cohasset Legion
lose twice and then hope that
the tiebreakers swing in their
favor.
The chance that this could
happen does exist, but for
Morrisette, the season is
probably going to end with-
out a post-season appearance
for the second straight sea-
son.
Eight games into the sea-
son, Morrisette had a 5-3-1
record and looked primed to
get back into the playoff
hunt, but an eight-game los-
ing streak has all but dropped
them out of the picture.
Last Thursday evening at
Adams Field, Morrisette and
Quincy Legion squared off

Legion
Baseball
for the second time in two
weeks. A win by Morrisette
would have gone a long way
toward improving their play-
off chances, but Quincy
showed why they are the
stronger team this season by
knocking off Morrisette 5- 1 .
Quincy Legion starting
pitcher Mike LeBel (5 in-
nings, 8 Ks, earned run)
pitched a beauty on the hill
and had a huge run scoring
hit in the big four-run second
inning that blew the game
open.
Witb his team holding a
slim 2-0 lead, LeBel stepped
to the plate with the bases
loaded in the second inning
and delivered a bases-clear-
ing triple to give Quincy a 5-
0 advantage they would not
relinquish.
Mike Leone finished the
game 2-for-3 with a walk,
two stolen bases and two
runs scored for Quincy.
Morrisette would score its
only run off of LeBel in the
third inning. Kenny Carberry
singled leading off the inning
and stole second base. Ricky
Salvucci's RBI hit scored
Carberry.
Morrisette played
Braintree Legion on Sunday
night and lost a hard-fought
game, 3-2.
Trailing 1-0 entering the
third inning, Morrisette's
Alex Tragellis singled and
advanced to second on a wild
pitch. John Ainsley followed
with a RBI single that scored
Tragellis.
With the score knotted at
1-1, Morrisette took its first
lead in the fourth inning.
Matt Edgerly walked and
took second on a wild pitch;
after a fielder's choice
groundout moved him to
third. Matt Joyce drove him
in for the 2-1 lead.
But Braintree stormed
back and scored twice in the
sixth inning to earn the 3-2
victory and all but sealing
Morrisette's post-season po-
sition.
The District 6 East stand-
ings as of 7/14/08 (the top-
five teams advance to the
playoffs):
Weymouth, 14-3
Braintree, 13-4
Milton, 14-5
Quincy, 9-7
Holbrook, 6-8
Hyde Park, 5-10-1
Morrisette, 5-11-1

Quincy U12 Girls Travel Hockey Team
Champions Of South Shore Conference

finished its regular season as
the South Shore Conference
champions.
The 15-member team
started coming together back
in January, qualifying for the
Massachusetts state tourna-
ment and going 3-0 in the
playdown portion; represent-
ing their district in the state
tourney.
This 3-0 showing at the
state tournament was fol-
lowed by the team winning
the Kiwanis tournament in
February and in March, the
team made it all the way to
the State championship
game before coming up short
after a 4-0 run in that tour-
nament.
The Ul 2 team finished its
regular season by finishing
first in the South Shore Con-
ference; earning a first round
bye in the conference play-
offs.
After earning the first
round bye, the team took a
3-2 overtime victory in the
semifinals to earn their spot
in the championship game.
In the SSC final, Quincy
trailed 2-0 with eight min-
utes left in the game, but
stormed back to win 3-2,
scoring the winning goal
with only 27 seconds left in
regulation.

Si firs -
ARDBS (March 21 to April
19) Your persistence pays off
as the information you
demanded starts to come
through. The pace is slow at
first, but it begins to speed up
as the week draws to a close.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) An unwelcome bit of
news jolts the Bovine, who
would prefer that things pro-
ceed smoothly. But it's at
most a momentary setback. A
Leo brings more welcome
tidings.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) You need to jwy close
attention to the details before
making a commitment. Don't
accept anything that seems
questionable, unless you get
an answer that can be backed
up.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Congratulations on get-
ting that project up and run-
ning. But as exciting as it is,
don't let it carry you away.
Make sure you set aside time
to spend with family and
friends.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Be sure you're part of the dis-
cussion involving your sug-
gestions. Your presence
ensures that you can defend
your work, if necessary. It
also helps gain your col-
leagues'support.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) A misunderstand-
ing needs to be dealt with, or
it can grow and cause more
problems later on. Be the big-
ger person and take the first
step to clear the air.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Set some strict
guideUnes for yourself so
your heavier-than-usual
work schedule doesn't over-
whelm the time you need to
spend relaxing with loved
ones.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 2 1 ) You might feel
a little uncomfortable being
among people you hardly
know. But remember that
today's strangers can become
tomorrow's valuable con-
tacts.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21)
Reward yourself for all that
you've accomplished despite
some armoying situations
that got in your way. Enjoy a
well-earned getaway with
someone special.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) Realizing
that someone else is taking
credit for what you did is
bound to get anyone's goat,
but especially yours. Be
patient. The tmth soon comes
out.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Forget about
opposites attracting. What
you need is to find someone
who thinks like you and will
support your ideas, even if
others say they're too radical.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Workplace prt*-
lems can affect your financial
plans. Be prudent and avoid
running up bills or making
conrmiitments until things
begin to ease up by the 25th.
BORN THIS WEEK:
Your inmition helps you

While most people do not like to
think about their own death or that
of a close family member, funeral
pre-planning and/or pre-flnancing
can ease possible problems associ-
ated with death. There are many
reason that people pre-plan their
own rituals.
One of the most important is that pre-planning makes
one's wishes known; it eases the burden placed upon the
family at a time when clear decisions may be difficult to
make.
Pre-planning does away with any possible disagree-
ment among the bereaved as to what to do and how much
to spend. Pre-planning gives one a piece of mind in
knowing arrangements have been made in advance.
If you have any questions concerning pre-planning
and/or pre-flnancing, please feel free to contact The
Deware Funeral Home by phone or stop by for consul-
tation. We will answer all questions honestly and frankly
and in the strictest of confidence. At no obligation, of
course. . . .

'He Will Never Be Forgotten '
Boathouse Dedication Honors
Vietnam Hero Raymond West
By MIRIAM JOSEPH
When Kathy West
Gomez first expressed her
thought about having a
Houghs Neck boathouse
named for her late brother,
Raymond, she never
dreamt that one year later
her idea would be fully re-
alized.
On Saturday, the boat-
house and park a Parkhurst/
Perry Beach, where
Raymond had spent so
much time in his youth, was
offidally named for him:
Cpl. Raymond J. West Park,
Vietnam veteran, U.S.
Army, killed in action on
December 13, 1968.
Last year, Kathy casually
mentioned her -brother's
love of the Houghs Neck
beach during a conversa-
tion with Arthur Knowlton,
who voluntarily maintained
the property. She thought
how nice it would be if
Raymond could be remem-
bered.
Knowlton contacted

Kelly, who set the wheels

State Grant For Projects

Drug Overdoses,
Underage Drinking
By LAURA GRIFFIN
The rest of the country
will be watching as Quincy
and 15 other Massachusetts
cities pioneer the first federal
grant programs aimed at
reducing the number of
uninteptioi^al drug
overdoses, according to
speakers at Impact Quincy 's
meeting Tuesday at C\S^ Hall.
Emily Bhargava told the
25 participants at the meeting
that Massachusetts is the only
state undertaking such a
project with federal grant
funds.
"It means that the whole
country is watching. This is a
test case," said Bhargava, a

West Quincy Billboard Still
Flashes, New Appeals Filed
By TOM HENSHAW
The contentious 80-foot
electronic billboard on
Willard Street, West Quincy,
continues to hustle Svedka
vodka to motorists on the
Southeast Expressway de-
spite Building Inspector Jay
Duca's cease and desist or-
der.
"We are still working on
turning it off," said City So-
licitor James Timmins. "The
decision is appealable. W^
are waiting for the appeal
period to be over.
"It's complicated "
Indeed it is with at least
four parties bringing suit or
being sued or both for and
against each other with the
loser appealing each decision
to the next level of judge-
ment.
The latest chapter in the
long-running serial came
Monday when the city was
notified that Thomas
Mahoney Jr., a Willard Street
businessman, is appealing
Duca's refusal to order the
billboard physically re-
moved.
In addition to his request
that the neon sign on the bill-
board be turned off Maloney
had asked that Duca order
the whole thing taken down
but Duca declined citing "the
cost and other practical is-
sues."
Timmins was notified last
week that the State Outdoor
Advertising Board had re-
viewed its approval of the
billboard siting and found no
reason to conduct new hear-
ings into the matter.
"As a result," said
Timmins, "we are filing a
court action, arguing that the

was not following its own

The problem of accidental
overdose is urgent, according
to Bhargava and Impact
Quincy ' s Director Alejandro
Rivera who cited statistics
showing a 40 percent increase
in "Fatal Opioid Related
Poisoning" in Massachusetts
in the past 15 years.
One participant, Robert
Monahan of the South Shore
Recovery Home, made the
statistic meaningful when he
described a client who just
finished a rehabilitation
program.
"In the six months he's
been there, eight of his friends
have died," said Monahan.
Rivera's team will
develop projects using two
three-year grants to the city
totaling $600,000. One grant
of $80,000 a year is aimed at
underage drinking, while the
second grant of $125,000 a
year will tackle unintentional
Opioid overdoses.
Rivera told the
participants that Impact
Quincy will be reviewing
options before developing a
plan for reducing the
overdose problems. The
planning must be completed
by Oct. 31 when it will be
reviewed by the state.
Both Rivera and Bhargava
described how the city's
support was essential in being
awarded the grant funds.
Rivera wanted to "thank the
leadership of Mayor Koch."
"We were lucky," said
Rivera, noting that the
mayor' s staff asked how they
could help his agency,"the
first time we called.
"That really gives you a
leg up," said Bhargava,
noting that the leadership in
some cities will not recognize
substance abuse problems.
SHARING IDEAS at Impact Quincy's community meeting at
City Hail Tuesday are Normand Grenier, Executive Director,
Neigiiborliood Housing Services and Bill Spinks, Director of
Prevention and Intervention Services, Bay State Community
Services.
According to Rivera,
poisoning is the "leading
cause of accidental death in
Massachusetts." In fact, he
said, the number of poisoning
fatalities even outstrips the
numbers for motor vehicle
accidents.
As for "fatal Opioid
because people are trying to
commit suicide."
Rivera quoted the opioid
description which concluded,
"With opioids, there is a small
window between euphoria
and death,"
Rivera will now meet one
on one with some of the city
and community leaders
related poisoning deaths," attending Tuesday's meeting
Rivera said those numbers and with persons who have
have increased from 28 had overdose problems as
percent of the total number reconraiended by Normand
of deaths in 1 990 to 68% in Grenier, Executive Director,
2005.
Rivera distributed a
detailed description of
"opiates" and "opioids"
because the grant funds will
be limited to those issues.
According to the
description, "opiates are
drugs derived from opium
while "Opioid" refers to the
entire family of opiates
including natural, synthetic
and semi-synthetic.

Sad Days For Sharron
SHARRON
For Sharron Beals, you might say, it's like losing
her home and family, too.
The home, Beechwood On The Bay, the
intergenerational community center of which she has
been the sparkplug executive director the past 1 8 years.
The family, all those seniors and pre-schoolers,
music students and daycare young-
sters who have participated in the
multi-programs offered.
All of which is coming to an end.
A sad one for Beals and her "fam-
ily" especially the daycare and pre-
schoolers aged 7 weeks to 8 years
and seniors 55 to 90-plus.
"Beechwood is closing Aug. 1," she says. "We are
closing and we will be gone."
Mayor Thomas Koch is taking back the 15,000
square foot building, the former Myles Standish School
at 440 East Squantum St. as the site for a new city wide
Senior Center.
Beechwood had a year to go on the lease but in April,
Koch asked for the building back as of Sept. 1 . The
city felt that under the lease it could repossess the build-
ing at anytime.
The building will undergo major renovations for the
senior center. It is less expensive to renovate a suitable
building than construct a new one. And Koch wants to
get started in September.
"But this didn't give us time to find a new location,"
Beals says.
Is there any chance Beechwood might still come
back?
"No," she says. "We are now in the process of dis-
solving our corporation."
Beechwood was founded in 1981 with its first home
the Beechwood Knoll School on Fermo Street. I*ropo-
sition 2"^ brought about the closure and sale of a num-
ber of schools back then.
Mayor Arthur Tobin determined that the Beechwood
School could not be sold because the Grossman Fam-
ily Trust bequeathed the property to the city for "Edu-
cational and Cultural Enrichment" purposes only.
The Beechwood Center qualified to occupy the
school.
A leading founder of the center was Dr. Cecil Paul,
president of Eastern Nazarene College.
Beals, a Mansfield resident, came aboard in 1990.
The Beechwood Center moved to the closed Myles
Standish School with Mayor James Sheets' blessing in
1994 when the Beechwood Knoll School was re-opened
as a school.
The lease fee for the building was $1 a year.
But Beals notes that the children and seniors' activi-
ties were carried out at no cost to the city.
Juried Art Show July 27 At
Adams National Historical Park
An average 4,000 seniors a year took part in activi-
ties free. Pre-school, daycare, music lessons, were at
nominal fees.
Beechwood, Beals says, spent $70,000 a year for
upkeep and maintenance. And put on a new roof over
the gym at a cost of $20,000.
Programs she takes pride in include:
Installation of smoke detectors in 800 seniors' homes
in partnership with the Quincy Fire Department, Na-
tional Fire Protection Association, Quincy Rotary Club
and Mayor's Office.
Med-Alert Bracelet program with the Quincy Po-
lice Department and Handicapped Commission.
Elder Home Repair program for at-risk seniors.
Blood pressure screening for seniors.
Senior Olympics.
Beals is helping to find openings at other pre-school
and daycare, for those who would have been going to
Beechwood. And trying to find jobs for some 25 staff
members.
The center's last two scheduled events:
A Christmas Party today (Thursday) with a 10:15
a.m. performance by the Wheelock Family Theater and
"Christmas In July Lunch" at noon.
A "Red Hat Society Lunch" July 31 at noon, free to
all ladies over 50 wearing red hats.
And then, Aug. 1, doors close.
Any future plans for Beals?
"I'm not saying yes to anything until January," she
says. "For a few months I just want to play as hard as I
have worked."
And, work she has. She's given her heart and soul
to Beechwood. Whatever project she took on, she gave
it her all.
But although Beechwood is going, she isn't.
"You have not seen the last of me," she says. "My
life has been here these past 18 years. I love this city. I
would like to move here when the real estate market is
better."
And she adds, a little mischievously, "Maybe I'll be
a campaign manager in the next city election."
Meanwhile, she proudly displays a commemorative
plate on her car: "QUINCY, Of Course."
And a personal note:
Sharron, I still think the Weather Bureau should
name one Hurricane Sharron.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS 1930 POSTCARD was published for the Blackie
Service Station that was located near the corner of
Woodbine Street and Weston Avenue in Wollaston. It
was owned and operated by Albert Blackman who lived
just around the comer. The sign over the door is barely
discernible, but this was an official headlight and brake
inspection station. The card was mailed to local cus-
tomers as a reminder to have their lights and brakes
inspected. Stating on the reverse that 'Sve serve you
with expert knowledge and the most scientiflc equip-
ment available." Surely they didn't have anything like
the computers they plug our cars into today. The site of
this business is now included in the Red Line's
Wollaston Station parking lot. To contact Tom Galvin,
e-mail tmgalvin@verizon.net.

8- Ward Plan
On Election Ballot
By FRANK McCAULEV
Sept. 6, Nov. 6, and Dec. 4 should be dates for Quincy
voters to remember this year.
The City Council was expected to unanimously appro\ e a
plan to hold a referendum vote on •»ii.««iM>i^__i-^
the 8 Ward Redistricting plan Sept.
6. The primary election would then
be held Nov. 6 and the final election
Dec. 4.
The proposed action was being i^— — ^— — — —
taken in an effort with the "one man, one vote" recent court
decision.
As presently constituted, the original boundaries were set
in 1889 when Quincy became a city. Under the present
configuration Wards 1 , 5 and 6 are large than Wards 2, 3 and
4.
The eight-ward plan was devised to comply with the court
decision. (Editor's note: The eight-ward plan was defeated
and the ward lines for the six wards were redrawn to comply
with the court's decision.)

display , including 1 1 pieces
of fine sculpture.

uted include Linda and Kris

Fr. BilFs And MainSpring
Food Fest, Auction July 29
145 On St. Ann
Third Term Honor Roll
Father Bill's &
MainSpring will host the 14*
annual Food Fest & Auction
Tuesday, July 29 from 6-10
p.m. at Marina Bay Beach
Club.
This tasting event, the
largest fundraiser on the
South Shore, benefits the
homeless individuals and
families served by Father
Bill's Place and MainSpring.
Ann and her 8-year old
autistic son Jason recently
found housing through Fa-
ther Bill's & MainSpring.
Despite stable employment,
she and Jason became home-
less when her mother told
them to leave. Ann did not
qualify for a state-funded
unit because she was $30
over the qualifying income.
They came to Father Bill's &
MainSpring, where they
were placed in a supportive
housing unit.
Their apartment is near
Jason's school so he has been
able to remain in his special
needs classroom and after
school program. Ann contin-
ues to work and pay rent.
She's also going to the career
center, so that she can im-
prove her skills and job pros-
pects. She meets with out
case manager weekly to help
her and Jason continue on the
FR. WILLIAM McCarthy
path to self-sufficiency.
Their success would not
be possible without the funds
raised each year at Food Fest.
Food Fest features more
than 40 of the finest local
restaurants, bakeries, and
wine distributors on the
South Shore. This year's
auction will include an
autographed painting of Tom
Brady, trip for two to Las
Vegas, Red Sox tickets, and
rare sports memorabilia.
Tickets for the event are
$ 1 00 each. They can be pur-
chased at HYPERLINK

Coffee Break Caf^ is something
different to everyone. For some it is
the first stop in the morning for their
morning coffee. For others it is the
place where their three year old can sit
and color while mom has a moment to
catch up with a friend sipping on lattes.
Some use the free wireless and do re-
search on their laptop while enjoying
caf6 mocha. Others use it as the high
school meeting place for a frozen co-
coa or an iced coffee. It is a place to
listen to some good local music, view
local art that kids did in their high
school photography class. Some people
go to Coffee Break Cafe three times a
day, some only once but there is some-
thing for everyone.
Regardless of the why people go to
Coffee Break Cafe, there is always a
smile and a friendly hello waiting for
you. There's always hot fresh coffee,
ground seconds before brewing. Iced
coffee is made constantly throughout
the day in every flavor, mixed and sugar
melted to your liking. Coffee Break
Cafe is the only coffee shop in the area
certified to use Malabar Gold espresso
and it shows. Mocha's, caramel lattes,
or a shot of the smoothest espresso on
the planet is a heavenly treat. Coffee
Break Cafe created its own Hypercaf
which through careful blending adds
50% more caffeine naturally. Coffee is
purchased from independent micro-
roasters in smaller batches to ensure the
highest available grades. Milk is pur-
chased from a local farm and is hor-
mone free.
The food is made and delivered daily
from local neighboring businesses.
There's always something new happen-
ing at Coffee Break Cafe, whether it be
story time for the kids, local live mu-
sic, game night or simply a new cream
cheese flavor like black olive feta or
chive and onion made with ingredients
fresh from the garden.
Locally owned and operated by Jenn
and Donny Ormond since 19% Coffee
Break Cafe is a small business that is
always giving back to the community.
Buying local where possible, carrying
a selection of organic fair trade prod-
ucts, recycling, and helping out local
charities are just some of the values that
are important to the Ormond's.
Throughout the months of June and
July Coffee Break Cafe is partnering
up with Zam4.com, a t-shirt company
with a social conscience selling t-shirts
that say love in different languages. For
every t-shirt sold, Zamforia will donate
$5.00 to the Strong Kids Campaign
helping children to go to summer camp
at the YMCA. There are some really
cool art displays up at each location dis-
playing the tees.
Whatever the reason stop by and en-
joy.

BACK TO THE FUTURE - Used cars fUl the lot on Adams Street across from South Shore
Buick in this photo taken in the 1960s. On June 30, the 85-year-oId Quincy car company ceased
as a General Motors authorized Buick representative. But owner Robert FitzGerald said the
business - now known as South Shore Sales and Service ~ will continue to offer high-quality
pre-owned vehicles q>ecializing in Buick but it will also sell Chevy, Pontite, Saab, Cadillac,
Saturn and more. The company continues to offer maintenance and repair service.
Car Company Now South Shore Sales And Service
South Shore Buick Drives Towards A New Future
By ROBERT BOSWORTH
It was 30 years ago when
auto dealer Robert FitzGerald
was baptized into the car busi-
ness.
"My first job at South
Shore Buick was cleaning off
the cars after the Blizzard of
1 978. The challenge then was
finding the cars first,"
Fit/Gerald said, referring to
the massive snow drifts cov-
ering the cars parked on the
sales lots on Adams Street
after that historic two-day
storm dropped more than two
feet snow on the region.
Today, it's a different kind
of challenge for FitzGerald,
48, president of the company;
and his brother, Richard, 45,
the service manager: Re-
maining competitive in an
ever-changing automobile
industry.
To that end. South Shore
Buick — which has served
generations of local families
and business men and women
since it opened its doors in
1 923 — has ceased as a Gen-
eral Motors authorized Buick
representative.
According to FitzGerald,
South Shore Buick had one
of the longest running rela-
tionships with General Mo-
tors in automotive history -
85 years. However, 2008
marks a year of consolitation
in the car industry, and Gen-
eral Motors is moving to
combine the Buick, Pontiac
and GMC nameplates.
So the FitzGeralds decided
they, too, will adjust to re-
main competitive.
The business namr has
changed: it's now South
Shore Sales and Service. But
the telephone number is still
617-770-3300 and it's loca-
tion remains 50 Adams St.,
in the same brick building
which opened in 1941 just
before the start of World War
II.
While the business no
longer sells brand new
Buicks, FitzGerald empha-
sized his car business will
continue to offer the excel-
lent service customers have
grown accustomed to for
maintenance and repair, as
well as complete body and
paint work. Car buyers will
also find an array of high
quality pre-owned vehicles
"that make good economic
sense in these challenging
times," he said.

In the last couple of years,

we had to make a move. So it
seemed like this is the right
time to make that move,"

The rules ignored,
Timmins said, were those
banning signs in residential

on interstate highways and
those within 300 feet of an
important historical site or

site is within 300 feet of the

Norfolk County Sheriff
Michael Bellotti's Civil Pro-
cess staff has recovered
$178,884.80 in Massachu-
setts Laborers' Benefit Funds
from a company that failed
to contribute to the health,
welfare and pension fund as
required by law.
The Civil Process Divi-
sion was appointed by the
federal court to be special
process server in the case
against G. Conway Inc., the
Boston-based construction
company doing business in
Massachusetts and New
Hampshire.
The Division was forced
to seize from the company's
storage sites such heavy
equipment as bulldozers,
backhoes, paving machines
and front-end loaders and
auction them off to raise the
money that was turned over
to the Funds.
"I am pleased we could
help bring justice to the
workers and their families
whose pensions and health
insurance were jeopardized
by the illegal practices of
their employer," said
Bellotti.
"We hope this case will
serve as a deterrent to other
employers who might other-
wise not take seriously their
obligations to their employ-
ees' benefit accounts."

FIRE SAFETY
by Captain Tom Lyons
Fire FrevtnHon Bwwm
Quincy Fbv Bepartment
Fire Extinguishers For Summer Use
Have you purchased a fire
extinguisher for your home,
garage, or shed? If so do you
hang in a conspicuous loca-
tion to an exit? With summer
lawn mower fuel use, grill-
ing, and possibly outdoor
candle use, deliberate place-
ment of a fire extinguishing
aid such as a fire extin-
guisher, can make a differ-
ence should a small incipi-
ent fire be discovered in or
around your home.
However, if you decide to
use one, remember these
simple basics. Place yourself
between the fire and an exit.
Should you decide not to at-
tempt extinguishment, an
exit is then readily available
so that you can remove your-
self from harms way.
Either way, if applicable,
make certain the home is in
the process of being evacu-
ated, and always contact the
fire department to assure that
the fire has not extended onto
or into a structure.
Remember too, there are
three basic classes of fire
homeowners will encounter.
Class A: Fires in ordinary
combustibles such as paper,
trash, wood and clothing.
Class B: Flammable liq-
uid fires such as fuel oil and
gasoline.
Class C: Energized elec-
trical equipment such as
electrical appliances.
Consider purchasing a
"multipurpose" extinguisher
suitable for all three classes
of fires listed here. The ex-
tinguisher will be labeled
with an A-B-C, while if a let-
ter is missing, or a line is
struck through a letter, it is
informing you that the extin-
guisher is not appropriate for
that class of fire. Look for
designation, A-B-C where it
is suitable for all three
classes.
Don't forget the acronym,
PASS as well. While at-
tempting to begin use, keep
a safe distance, a minimum
of 6 to 8 feet if comfortable.
Then, the P in PASS re-
minds us to pull and remove
the pin, which unlocks the
lever valve allowing us to
discharge the product onto
the fire.
The A in PASS reminds
us to aim the extinguisher at
the base of the fire.
The S in PASS reminds
us to then squeeze the lever
valve allowing product dis-
charge onto the fire.
While the second S in
PASS reminds us to sweep
from side to side, covering
the fire in entirety until the
fire is extinguished.
Remember CALL THE
HRE DEPARTMENT to as-
sure complete extinguish-
ment and if applicable begin
evacuation of a building.
Most importantly, never
place yourself or others in
harm's way.
Thank you.

JIMMY HUI (right) of Quincy, a student at the Cotting School in Lexington, has volunteered in
the Medical Staff Office at Quincy Medical Center for the past two years. With him are supers
visors (from left) Anne Leary, director of Medical Staff Services; Marilyn McAllister, volunteer
coordinator; and Susan Paquette, credentials coordinator.
Cotting School Student Gains
Work Experience At QMC
For some people, going to
work every day is something
they take for granted.
Others may see it as a
chore.
But for young people like
Quincy resident Jimmy Hui,
attaining a job is an outstand-
ing achievement. That's is
why he and his fellow stu-
dents in the Project Bridges
program at the Cotting
School in Lexington held a
special recognition breakfast
to thank their workplace
sponsors.
For the past two years,
Hui, 22, who graduates this
year, has volunteered in the
Medical Staff Office at
Quincy Medical Staff office
under the supervision of
Anne Leary, director of
Medical Staff Services;
Marilyn McAllister, volun-
teer coordinator, and Susan
Paquette, credentials coordi-
nator, to gain work experi-
ence that will prepare him to
enter the working world in-
dependently upon gradua-
tion.
The Project Bridges pro-
gram at the Cotting School
exposes students with physi-
cal and cognitive disabilities
to various work experiences
in the community near the
Lexington campus to help
them identify the jobs that
best fit their skills and inter-
ests.
In Hui's case, he knew
that he wanted to work in an
office setting after having
experiences at the Lahey
Clinic and Seasons Four in
Lexington. QMC enabled
him to take the "next step"
and by providing him with an
opportunity to practice his
working skills in his own
community.

Eastern Nazarene College Hosts
Neighborhood Appreciation Day
TIGGER AND ELMO welcome more than 100 neighbors to Eastern Nazarene College's first
Neighborhood Appreciation Day.
Koch To Host Community Cookout
Mayor Thomas Koch will
host his second annual Com-
munity Cookout from 5 to 8
p.m. Thursday, Aug. 7 at
Pageant Field in
Merrymount Park.
The event, which Koch
started last year as a candi-
date for mayor, will feature
hot dogs and hamburgers,
Moonwalks and games for
youngsters, spwrts, bocce for
adults and entertainment.
The cookout is free.
"It was a great night of
family, friends and fun last
year, and we decided to make
it a tradition," Koch said. "I
want to invite everyone to
stop by. These are the kinds
of events that make our city
special-everyone getting to-
gether to share a few laughs
and relax. And there is no
better place than Pageant
Field for these kinds of com-
munity events."
Several hundred people
attended last year's event,
which is paid for by the
mayor's campaign commit-
tee. Koch has been visiting
community groups and orga-
nizations across the city dur-
ing his first six months in
office, but said he wanted to
get together with as many
people from around the city
in a more informal setting.
"I am looking forward to
seeing a lot of old friends,
and hopefully meeting some
new ones," Koch said. "And
if folks want to talk about
issues in the city, what's bet-
ter than doing it over burgers
and dogs?"

There were visits from
Tigger and Elmo, cotton
candy, ice cream sundaes,
popcorn, face painting, and
inflatable games.
The event was held on
Flag Day and many people
took the flag that were
handed out and went to
Quincy's parade afterward.
"It was a great day as we
welcomed neighbors to our
campus, to show how much
we appreciate them," said
Kendall Whitington, vice
president of institutional ad-
vancement. "What a privi-
lege to be part of the

Boathouse Dedication Honors Vietnam Hero Raymond West
(Cont'd Fmm Page 1)
in motion. "I called and
woke him up at 7 a.m., I said
'Lets do this.' Then it be-
came a labor of love, and
now we have a reason to re-
ally respect this area."
The Quincy Beaches and
Coastal Commission spon-
sored the event, which in-
cluded a beach bash follow-
ing the dedication ceremony.
Over 120 attendees were
treated to a cookout, several
games and contests, hula-
hoop instruction, and music
by D.J. Joe Fasci.
Maxgaret Milne, secretary
for the QBCC, worked
closely with the City of
Quincy, with Kelly-de-
scribed as the 'moving force'
for this dedication-and with
West's sibhngs in preparing
for this special day.
Jim FratoUllo, a past Com-
mander of the Houghs Neck
Legion Post, whose color
guard took part, opened the
ceremony with a prayer and
spoke movingly of Raymond
West and his service to his
country.
"For his family and those
of us who knew Raymond
West, he will never be for-
gotten, but to the many
people who never had the
opportunity to know him, he
is in danger of becoming a
statistic.
"We cannot, we will not,
let it happen. . .he died so that
others might live in freedom,
and he deserves a place in
our history books. Today, the
dedication of this building is
in the history book."
A native of Houghs Neck,
West attended Atherton
Hough School, Broad Mead-
ows, and graduated from
Quincy High School. He
joined the Army in March,
1968, went to Vietnam in
September, and received the
Bronze Star Medal for Valor
just six days before he was
killed.
Raymond's older brother,
Robert, who returned home
from service in 1968, said,
"It's overwhelming that
something like this is hap-
pening, we never expected
anything like this... having
Raymond honored this way.
"Even though it has been
almost 40 years, Raymond's
family members still remem-
ber every detail of what went
on. Right here is where 1
used to drag him around on
his water skis, right out in

front of this boathouse."
Robert spoke of
Raymond's brave action in
Vietnam, for which he was
awarded the Bronze Star.
During a firefight, and de-
spite being shot in the leg.
West had continued to lob
grenades onto a guerilla
hideout until the bunker col-
lapsed on top of the soldiers.
He then dug through the
rubble and captured three
heavily armed NVA soldiers.
Councillor Kelly quoted
from a letter he had received

Legion Departmoit of Massa-
chusetts, opens dedication cer-
emony for Raymond J. West

from the father of another
Vietnam veteran in whose
honor Kelly had worked to
erect a memorial on
Merry mount Beach.
The letter said, i thought
the city had forgotten him.
But now 1 step out my door,
look down the street and see
the flag flying and know that
my son James (Walsh) is still
remembered by the city of
Quincy.'
Kelly expressed hope that
when Raymond's father,
'Bud,' visits the beach and

Shrinking Grocery
Packaging
Orocay manufacturera
have figured out that con-
turners are less disturbed by
smaller packages than they
are by higher prices. So
they're counting on con-
sumers not to notice the
smaller packages now on
store shelves in increasing
numbers for everything
from ice cream to sandwich
sfnread.
In some cases, the packag-
ing isn't shrinking, but the
contents are. Peanut buner is
an example: What used to be
an 18-ounce jar of a major
brand of peanut buner is
now 16.3 ounces — a full
serving gone — in the same
size jar. It's the same with
margarine: same package
with less in it.
It's more important than
ever to read the unit cost and
per-serving price of each
item you buy. In many cases,
what you're getting now
isn't what you were getting
only a few months ago.
(D^ble check to be sure
that the unit pricing sticker
has been changed to reflect
the now-smaller item. Srane
stores are slow to make
those changes.)
Those who are dieting or
who have special dietary
requirements, such as dia-
betics, need to be extra vigi-
lant about calories and
caibs, as ^e contents of a
package could be different,
even if it looks the same.
Cooks, too, are fimJUng that
impes are suffering ^ dus
ingredients suddenly
change. If your recipe calls
for a certain am<Mnt of
tomato paste, check the can
to see if it's still the size you
expect. The same goes for
cake and cookie mixes: If
you expect to make cup-
cakes for three do2en chil-
dren at school as you always
have, check die box to see
how many cupcakes the mix
will actually make now.
If ever there was a time to
investigate store brands, it's
now. Let the unit pricing be
your guide about whether an
individual product is a good
buy.
Start clipping and using
coupons, even if you haven't
done that in the past.
Suggestion: If you have a
favorite food that hasn't
shrunk yet, and if you can
combine a purchase wiUi
coupons to make it truly
worth your while, load up.
Check tiie expiration dates
to make sure you'll use it in
time. It's a feel-good step,
but one widi benefits.

Easy Home Improvements Add Value
(ARA) - You can open the
real estate section of any
newspaper today and you're
likely to read about how poor
the housing market is. With
home sales slow and market
prices reduced, many people
are choosing to stay put and
make changes to their cur-
rent home.
"Some homeowners view
the lull in the real estate mar-
ket as a valuable time to
make positive improvements
to their home," says Andy
. Olson, product manager at
Wagner Spray Tech. "If the
cost of remodeling gives you
sticker shock, there are many
other projects that increase a
home's value that you can
easily do yourself."

An Updated Exterior
The first thing that any-
one notices, from visitors to
potential buyers, is the exte-
rior of a home. If yours
hasn't been repainted in a
long time and suffers from
faded, scratched and chipped
paint on the siding or trim,
this is a project you can do
yourself that will dramati-
cally increase ciu'b appeal.
To ensure a good result,
begin by removing dirt and
other debris from the surface
to be painted. Look for areas
where paint is chipped or
bubbled and remove. with a
wire brush or wide-blade
putty knife. Using an electric
Sander can also be helpful.
When painting, use tools
that are made specifically to
help ease and expedite the
process. The Paint Crew Plus
by Wagner helps tackle large
projects like painting a house
and produces quality results.
The paint sprayer appUes a
professional level paint ap-
plication and features vari-
able pressure control to ap-
ply both thick and thin ma-
terials. A rugged wheeled
cart makes maneuvering and
transporting the Paint Crew
Plus quick and effortless.
Use high pressure for
spraying thick exterior latex
paints. A brush will be your
key tool for updating details
like the front door and trim.
A quality paint job will make
your house stand out from
the rest on the block and will
last for many years to come.
A Fresh Yard
Continue to increase curb
appeal by taking a look at
your yard. A manicured lawn
and strategically placed
plants will enhance the ap-
pearance of your home and
is also very enjoyable for
those that live there.
Clean up any dated lawn
decor, garden tools, or other
items, especially in the back-
yard where they sometimes
collect. How does your pa-
tio furniture and deck look?
If they are worn, it's time for
an update. Use a paint
sprayer on low pressure for
thinner materials like stains.
Repaint other items such as
pots and children's toys for
a fresh, new look.
An Interior Facelift
Yom- walls are a key com-
ponent for an updated inte-
rior appearance. Consider a
new paint color for an imme-
diate facelift that will make
any room appear cleaner.
Light paint colors work well
because they always
brighten a room. If you are
feeling daring, think about
trying one of the deep and
beautiful colors that are
popular right now in the
color palettes at many paint
companies.
A good roller is the
DIYer's best friend for inte-
rior wall painting. Start by
filling in holes and nick;
with putty. Sand and spot
prime those areas before
painting. Priming helps en-
sure a professional looking
paint job that lasts longer, so
it is worth your time. After
walls have been primed, ap-
ply paint with a hand roller
or for continuous paint flow,
use the roller arm attachment
included with the Paint Crew
Plus and enjoy the fresh look
of your home.
Update Details
It's the small details of a
home that can really make it
look dated. Do you still have
the same lamps as you did in
the 70s? Consider replacing
them with updated versions.
If you can't afford to replace
light fixtures, why not just
replace the shades and light
covers for a new look? Other
home accessories like knobs
and handles in the kitchen
and bathroom can be an af-
fordable way to update the
area without a costly cabinet
replacement. New photos
and artwork also add a nice
touch.

What To Consider When
Investing In Real Estate
(ARA) - We all under-
stand the income potential of
investing in real estate. Some
people decide to buy apart-
ments or commercial build-
ings to rent and manage
themselves. This can be re-
warding, but can also be a lot
of work. What if you could
have the benefits of a com-
mercial investment, but
without the many subsequent
responsibilities?
Many people are fmding
tenant in common (TIC), or
undivided fractional interest,
to be an investment option
that makes sense. TIC is a
real estate method in which
a group of people buy a sig-
nificant real estate asset to-
gether, often much larger
than they could obtain indi-
vidually. Each investor is on
the title and deed for their
percentage of ownership and
they own and control the
property. Each owner re-
ceives rental income and the
tax benefits of traditional real
estate investing.
"Tenant in common own-
ership can benefit the indi-
vidual new to real estate in-
vesting or seasoned pros.
Some investors are looking
for a new source of income
post-retirement. Others have
managed apartment com-
plexes, mobile home parks,
etc., themselves, but they
don't want the hassles of
maintenance and manage-
ment any longer," says Curt
Smiley, owner of TIC Invest-
ments, Inc., a real estate
company focused on offer-
ing individuals access to cor-
porate-grade real estate.
'TICs open up new options
for investors with many ben-
efits."
If you are thinking about
investing in real estate.
Smiley suggests you con-
sider the following:
• Building Occupancy
How much of the build-
ing is currently leased?
When investing, you should
know the occupancy per-
centage and existing lease
terms for each tenant.
• Risk Assessment
A property with a major-
ity of the space leased to gov-
emment agencies or Fortune
500 companies generally of-

• History
Before investing, you
should have adequate infor-
mation about the history of
the building and the history
of the real estate company
packaging the TIC opportu-
nity.
• Experienced Counsel
TIC investing can be
complicated. It's best to
work with a TIC representa-
tive who has years of expe-
rience and knowledge in the
industry. Can they tailor a
program to match your spe-
cific needs? Can they ana-
lyze the proforma to deter-
mine if the projections are
realistic? All your questions
should be answered in detail.
There are many benefits
of TIC investing. Here are
some of the reasons why
people are choosing this
method:
Equal Ownership
Smiley explains that TIC
ownership allows each in-
vestor to have the same own-
ership rights regardless of the
equity invested so that no
individual or group has di-
rect control.
Complete Investment
Investors work with a
sponsor, who is the real es-
tate company that packages
and offers the TIC opportu-
nity to the public. The spon-
sor first locates and secures
the property then performs
due diligence on the asset.
The sponsor also obtains an
appraisal. Phase 1 and the
non-recourse loan thus the
price the investor pays is a
full, complete investment. •
Control without Hassle
One of the most notable
benefits of TIC ownership is
the property management
arrangement. The property
management company
works directly for the TIC
owners. This characteristic
enables investors to have a
voice in all the substantial
decision-making on the
property without worrying
about the day-to-day, tedious
aspects normally associated
with owning real estate.
Income
Historically, TIC Invest-
ments have returned a 10 to
15 percent average annual-
ized return to owners. "Just
as with any investment, there
are risks, but many investors
are very successful by choos-
ing TICs. A good TIC repre-
sentative will work directly
with you to analyze your in-
vestment goals and risk tol-
erance, find the best oppor-
tunities and diversify your
investment if possible," says
Smiley.
Tax Benefits
A 1031 Exchange is an
IRS procedure which allows
investment property owners
to defer paying capital gains
and depreciation recapture
taxes on their equity princi-
pal. A TIC investment also
allows individuals to write-
off property depreciation,
interest on the loan, etc., of-
ten sheltering much of the
owners' monthly income.
An investment in a TIC
property offers attractive ad-
vantages, but it's not for ev-
eryone. A TIC option may
not be right for you depend-
ing on your particular tax
situation or if you want com-
plete control over the daily
responsibiUties of your prop-
erty.

A Job Well Done
On Samrday, July 12, 2008, at approximately 7 p.m.,
Officer Patrick Folan was on patrol in the Quincy
Square. As he approached
the intersection of Cottage
Avenue and Chestnut
Street, he observed a man
and a woman who appeared
to be arguing. The man then
violently and aggressively
pushed the woman with
both his hands in an opened
palm manner. This physical
assault appeared to be
intentional and with enough
force that the woman was
thrown back and almost fell
to the pavement.
As Officer Folan began to pull over to assist the
woman, the male suspect then turned away and began
walking off agitated and angry. Officer Folan drove
over to the suspect and requested that he stop walking,
which he did. The suspect was told to place his hands
on the hood of the cruiser and he was then handcuffed.
The suspect, in a "shocked" voice, demanded to know
what he did. Officer Folan informed the man that he
wimessed him physically assault a woman on the street.
The suspect then stated, " 1 didn't do anything."
The officer notified Quincy PoUce Dispatch of his
location and requested another Officer to respond for
assistance. Officer Christopher Klier arrived on scene
and guarded the suspect while Officer Folan questioned
the victim, who stated that she did not sustain any type
of injury. Officer Folan noted that the victim appeared
to be under the influence of alcohol based on the strong
odor of alcoholic beverage emanating from her breath.
She also spoke with slow, slurred speech and her eyes
had a glassy bloodshot appearance.
The victim stated that the suspect is her boyfriend;
they have been dating for approximately three years and
currently reside together with no children in common.
This information was important in order to determine if
the assault and battery met the criteria for domestic
violence and this was established based on their dating
relationship.
The victim then asked, "What's going on?" Officer
Folan told her that he witnessed the assault and
immediately the victim stated, "He didn't hit me - There
was no assault."
The Officer told the victim what he saw and she said,
"Yeah - he pushed me but he didn't hit me." The victim
was informed that physically pushing her constituted
Assault and Battery and that since they were engaged
in a dating relationship, this was a Domestic Assault
and Battery incident.
Officer Folan asked the victim if she was in fear of of
the suspect and offered her the option of obtaining a
209A restraining order. She decUned the offer of the
order by saying, "This is stupid - he didn't do anything."
She was told again by the Officer that he witnessed the
assault and that was why the suspect was under arrest.
The victim protested and insisted that her boyfriend did
nothing wrong.
Officer Folan then spoke with the suspect, who angrily
stated that he didn't commit any crime and he was being
harassed by the Police. The suspect also had a strong
odor of alcoholic beverage on his breath and appeared
to be under the influence of alcohohc beverages. The
suspect continued to deny doing anything wrong and as
he was pat frisked, he became belligerent and began
shouting that he was innocent. He then began insulting
the Officers by saying, "Why don't you work in the
Bronx instead of this pancake job?"
During the transport to the station, the suspect
continuously made derogatory statements against police
officers, particularly Quincy police officers.
The victim was transported home and the suspect, a
48-year-old Quincy resident, was charged with Domestic
Assault and Battery. A domestic violence report was
also filed.
Nice Work!
In this case, and in most domestic violence cases, the
victim does not have the authority to decide whether
she/he wants to pursue charges. If the Officer has
probable cause to beUeve that the victim was harmed,
he will make the arrest. There are many reasons why a
victim may not want the abuser to be arrested but victims
should be aware of the following:
*The violence does not go away.
♦The period of time between assaults usually gets

Quincy Secures 4th Seed, Plays Norwood
Morrisette Wins But
Falls Shy Of Playoffs
By SEAN BRENNAN .
A sharply-played 2-0 win
over Holbrook Legion, in the
final regular season game of
the year, helped place
Morrisette Legion's final
overall record to 6- 11 - 1 , but
the win was not enough to
propel them into the District
6 East playoffs.
Morrisette fmished their
season two points behind
Cohasset Legion (7-11 over-
all) for the fifth and fmal spot
in the District 6 East post-
season and now, for the sec-
ond straight summer, the
team will be on the outside
looking in as the playoffs
start up this week.
The star of the 2-0 win
over Holbrook Legion was
starting pitcher Glen Misho.
Misho hurled a complete-
game (7 innings), two-hitter,
striking out seven batters and
allowing just one walk.
Morrisette scored the
game-winning run in the
third inning. Alex TragelUs
got the winning rally started
by reaching on an infield er-
ror. After stealing second
base, TrageUis moved over to
third on a sacrifice fly off the
bat of Joe Vialpando.
With two outs and
Tragellis on third, Steve
Connolly drove a single to
left, scoring Tragellis with
the first run of the game.
Connolly then swiped sec-
ond to get himself into scor-
ing position. Ryan Louis'
two-out RBI single plated
Connolly with the second
run of the inning and the
Morrisette defense and the
pitching of Misho shutdown
Holbrook Legion the rest of
the game.
For Morrisette the win
was a nice way to end the
season. After opening the
year with a 5-3-1 record
(through nine games), the
team struggled through an
Legion Baseball
eight-game losing streak. A
streak that took their playoff
hopes out of their hands and
forcing them to wait and see
if certain post-season sce-
narios worked out in their
favor, which didn't happen.
Cohasset snuck into that
final District 6 East playoff
spot after beating Holbrook
a week ago. Holbrook had a
chance to earn that final spot
even after losing to Cohasset,
but consecutive losses-in-
cluding the 2-0 loss to
Morrisette-to end the season
eliminated them from con-
tention.
Next year Morrisette will
be looking to replace six vet-
erans from this year's squad
who will be too old to com-
pete in Legion ball when the
season kicks off next June.
The six Morrisette players
who participated in their fi-
nal Legion game against
Holbrook last week include
Jon Garland, Steve Connolly,
Eric Engleheart, Matt
Edgerly, Glen Misho and Joe
Lousararian.
District 6 East Playoff
Picture
The District 6 East and
District 6 West playoffs be-
gin this week with five best-
of-three playoff series. The
top-5 District 6 East teams
will be matched up against
the top-5 District 6 West
teams (in descending order),
with the lowest seeded teams
in each district playing the
top-seeded teams from each
district.
District 6 East's top seed,
Weymouth Post 79 (15-3),
will play Norfolk Legion in
the first round.
Braintree (14-4), District
6 East's number two seed,
will square off against
Needham Legion in first
round play.
Milton (14-5), the number
three seed in District 6 East,
will start their first round se-
ries on the road against
Foxboro Legion.
Quincy (9-8) earned the
number four seed in District
6 East and will start its best-
of-three first round series on
the road against Norwood
Legion (Game One was
Monday night). Quincy,
which secured its playoff
spot last week, will be play-
ing in its second consecutive
District playoffs after a two-
year drought.
Last season under first-
year head coach Dan
Sweeney; Quincy Legion
surprised the area baseball
scene by storming all the
way into the American Le-
gion second round before
losing a series to Brockton
Post 35, two games to none
(2-0).
Quincy, which in 2006
finished with a 2-18 record,
defeated Foxboro Post 93 in
the 2007 District 6 playoffs
two games to one (2-1) for
their first playoff series win
in three decades. The team
finished the 2007 season
with an impressive 14-9
overall record.
This season the team is led
by Legion veterans Mike
Leone (.529 average), Mike
LeBel (.375 avg., 1.28
ERA), Bill Kiley (.362 avg.),
Tom Conley, Scott Warwick
and Steve Kussman and will
be looking to get back to the
second round once again.
Cohasset Legion, District
6 East's fmal playoff repre-
sentative, will play District
6 West's top seed, Walpole
Legion, in the final first
round playoff series.

*The level of assault gets worse over time, as does the chance of injury/death.
*Alcohol/drugs are often used as an excuse by the abuser and often believed by the
victim.
There is help available for both the victim and the abuser. Any Police Officer can
help you. Even though the victim in this case did not want help. Officer Folan effectively
let the abuser know that he can't get away with hitting and he started the process of
making help available by submitting the domestic violence report. Court Advocates
will contact the victim to assist her in court and offer her counseUng. The abuser will
also be offered counseling.

VERY RECENT SCAM: Beware of scammers calling themselves "Security" on
behalf of the Quincy Credit Union (and other Credit Unions across the country) seeking
your account number and PIN to re-activate your account. The call is a recording.
According to Quincy Police Communications Operator Mike Bowes, the telephone
number 5 1 5 -414-2 1 82 is located in Ogden, Idaho. When I called the number, I received
a recorded message about free telephone services.
A "Google" check of the telephone number reveals comments from across the country
that they received the same fraudulent message. No one should ever give out his or her
personal account numbers to someone who is calling you claiming to be with the
particular institution.
As always, never give out your PIN and be sure to change that number periodically.
If there is a reason to believe there is a problem with your account, call the bank or
credit union directly by looking up their number, not calhng the number given to you
by the scammer.
If the scam involves a credit card, again, look up the telephone number on the back
of the credit card to clear up any concerns. The Quincy Credit Union has been informing
their members via a recorded message on their general number as well as on their
internet site.

SCAM PREVENTION
AND EDUCATION SERIES
As part of the Quincy Police Crime Prevention Unit' s ongoing presentations on scams,
this is another offer that you may receive and should think twice about getting involved
in. This offer came through the mail and involved an alleged "secret shopping" service.
When you call the contact phone number on the letter, they tell you that, as a result of
your high level of integrity, you've been selected by Service International Mystery
Shopping Evaluation to become a "Secret Shopper."
First, you'll complete a Probationary Training Task, directed by Research Associate
Derek Hoffman. For this task, you'll act as a customer at selected businesses where
you'll evaluate the quality of service provided by the businesses. In order to complete
this Probationary Task you will be provided with a check (already enclosed with the
introductory letter) to pay for the mystery shop, to be disbursed as described below:
To be spent at ( 1 ) Burger King
(2) Money Gram Transfer
(3) Money Gram service charge
(4) Western Union Transfer
(5) Western Union service charge
(6) Wal-Mart
$ 17.00
$ 2,900.00
$ 99.00
$ 2,000.00
$ 99.00
$ 70.00
I
In addition, $400 will be distributed to you for Employee Probational Training Pay
and Expenses. The total amount of the enclosed check is $4,975. After successful
completion of this task, you will be accepted as an employee. For only a minimum of
8 hours a week, you will get to represent this firm as "Research Personnel," or a
"Customer Service Evaluator."
However, there is one significant problem: the check is fraudulent. The check is just
one of many that were stolen out of the mail and then forged for illicit gain.
According to the Better Business Bureau, the company itself, "International Mystery
Shopping" (listed at 3230 State Street, Suite B in Santa Barbara, CA 93 105) is no longer
in business. When it was, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed charges against this
company for "using deceptive marketing tactics when selling their at-home certification
programs for bartenders and mystery shoppers." The "514" area code phone numbers
given as a contact for the company are listed in Montreal, Canada.
According to RipoffReport.com, the "1-800" number where you are supposed to fax
your "Customer Service Evaluations" of the selected businesses is associated with a
"Pacific Lottery" scam out of Canada. Finally, the address on the check itself is from the
"Equestrian Pointe Apts" at 8500 Harwood Dr in North Richland Hills, Texas — an
apartment complex that hasn't existed under that name for at least a year.
How does this scam work?
According to Detective Wayne Goodman of the North Richland Hills Police
Department, the alleged company gets your name from an online questionnaire about
your interest in mystery shopping. Then using a free website to search your address, they
send you the letter and the forged check. Once you cash the check and perform your
"mystery shop" at the money transfer companies, they've scammed you. They can now
retrieve the total $4,290 at any worldwide Afone>' Gram and Western Union location (not
the supposed Cahfomia business address you sent it to).
You, however, are now financially responsible for the $4,975 debt, as well as any other
"bounced-check" fees resulting from cashing a bad check. According to Detective
Goodman, this scam has reached people in many areas throughout the country, including
Georgia and, now, Massachusetts.

Do You Know What
You're Putting On Your Skin?
(ARA) - Bath and beauty
products do more than just
keep us clean, they make us
look and feel our best. And
in a 24/7 society where busy
is the norm, a simple bath or
great skin treatment can be a
relaxing personal moment in
an otherwise hectic day.
Now more than ever,
people are using bath prod-
ucts that are made organi-
cally through green pro-
cesses because it's not only
good for them, but also good
for the environment.
"Going green is more
than just an environmental
concept, it's something that
can have a dramatic impact
on personal health," says
Justin Gomolka at Best Bath
Store, a company that makes
100 percent natural bath and
body, skin care and hair care
products. "We're seeing
more interest in natural prod-
ucts that respect human Ufe,
animal Ufe, and the environ-
ment we live in — some-
thing our entire line supports.
We do not test on animals or
use harmful synthetic preser-
vatives or additives such as
sodium laurel sulfate or
parabens. One must be on the
lookout for greenwashing,
where companies claim to be
natural and /or safe for the
environment, but use harm-
ful synthetic ingredients."
These are the top bath and
beauty trends of 2008:
'nvnd 1) OrganHc Soaps
When you're washing
your skin, are you using
something that contains
harsh chemicals? Don't for-
get, your skin is your body's
largest organ and the first
line of defense against dis-
ease and infections. If you
look at the ingredients of
your common everyday
soap, you might find it diffi-
cult to pronounce the list.
Animal fats and synthetic
ingredients help make soaps
cheap for large companies,
but wreak havoc on your skin
and overall health! For this
reason, organic soap made
from all-natural ingredients
is a top beauty trend. For ex-
ample, handmade soap from
Best Bath Store
(www.BestBathStore.com)
uses luxurious quality ingre-
dients that include organic
extracts, essential oils, and
cleansing particles harvested
from the earth. Because of
the use of organic ingredi-
ents, this soap is gentle
enough for even the most
sensitive skin types.
l^end 2) Safe Cosmetics
/ Cruelty Free / Environ-
mentally Friendly
Traditional cosmetics and
bath products can contain
unhealthy ingredients. Expo-
sure to one of these chemi-
cals is unlikely to cause
health problems, but re-
peated exposure can be
linked to serious health is-
sues like cancer and birth
defects. More people are
seeking safe cosmetics that
they know won't be causing
them, their families, or any
animals harm. You can do
three things to help buy
healthier products. First,
look for products that do not
test on animals or companies
that are PETA business
friends. Second, visit
www.SafeCostmetics.org to
find a list of companies that
have pledged to keep their
products safe from unhealthy
compounds. Lastly, find out
how a company packages
their products and ships
them. Do they use Styrofoam
or com starch peanuts?
Trend 3) Aromatherapy
Different scents have the
power to trigger sensations
in the brain such as relax-
ation, calmness, alertness
and more. Lavender is a
popular ingredient used in
bath products that is believed
to have the power to promote
relaxation and reheve stress,
important for today's con-
stantly hectic lifestyle. Lav-
ender has been used as a
natural medicine to help re-
lieve headaches, migraines
and insonmia for centuries.
Other scents and herbs have
properties that help keep the
body balanced and healthy.
More f)eople are now look-
ing for these ingredients in
their favorite soaps and lo-
tiwis.
TVend 4) Real Results
People want a luxurious,
natural product, but they also
want results from their
beauty regimen. From
wrinkles to acne, natural in-
gredients just might be the
cure you've been seeking.
For example, acne medicines
made from all natural ingre-
dients treat problem skin
gently, great for sensitive
skin types. Additionally,
some natural ingredients
may work better because the
body isn't able to build up a
tolerance to its effectiveness
like it often does with chemi-
cal treatment options. Natu-
ral, green ingredients also
can make a difference for
other beauty concerns such
as wrinkles and skin tone.
Trend 5) Not Just for
Ladies
Bath and beaiity isn't just
for females any more. Prod-
ucts are being made specifi-
cally for the needs of chil-
dren and men too. Fun, natu-
ral products make bath time
enjoyable for kids of all ages,
helping them stay clean and
healthy. And men are realiz-
ing that looking their best
today and in the future re-
quires more effort than a
simple daily shower. An in-
creasing number of men are
seeking out all-natural soaps,
shampoos and shaving
creams because these prod-
ucts give them better results
and are better for their body.

ral bath and beauty products

Got The Workday Blues?
(ARA) -With all the sun-
shine and warm weather, we
all want to spend time out-
doors doing our favorite ac-
tivities like working in the
garden or playing our favor-
ite sports. But for many of us,
that's not an option during
the workday.
It's only natural to feel a
little down about being stuck
inside all day when the
weather is so nice outside,
says Julia Kennedy, career
services director for Everest
Universities throughout.
North America. If you do
have a case of the summer-
time work blues, Kennedy
says there are many ways to
cheer yourself up.
For example, if you have
a window, open it to let the
fresh air in. You can also
bring nature into your office
by putting a bouquet of flow-
ers on your desk or creating
a desk-sized rock garden.
You should also try to spend
as much time as possible out-
doors and build in special
times for getting out of the
office. You can pack your
lunch and eat it outdoors, or
take an afternoon coffee
break to walk around the
block. Lastly, Kennedy sug-
gests that you talk to your
boss about flex-time or
working from home once a
week, if you really want to
fit more freedom for outdoor
time into your schedule.
But if your dislike of your
job goes deeper than simply
the summertime blues,
Kennedy says your dissatis-
faction should be taken seri-
ously. "Everybody has a bad
day at work, but if you're
having a lot of bad days, you
might have the workplace
blues, and they can have a
real effect on your quality of
life," she says.
Kennedy suggests asking
yourself the following ques-
tions to fairly assess your
current work environment:
Do you feel trapped at work?
Do you dread going to work
in the morning? Do you see
real potential for advance-
ment at work? Do you have
a good relationship with your
boss? Do you constantly
dream of the weekends?
"Ask yourself, 'How of-
ten am I feeUng this way?
Am I blaming my boss or co-
workers for the way I'm feel-
ing consistently?' Once
you're aware of the reasons
why you feel a certain way,
it usually becomes quite ob-
vious what change is neces-
sary," Kennedy adds.
New evidence fi-om north
of the border shows that
Americans are not alone in
our work problems. In fact,
half of all Canadians report
suffering from occasional
bouts of work-induced blues,
according to a December
2007 survey conmiissioned
by Everest College of Busi-
ness, Technology and
Healthcare — Ontario's
leading career college.
Feelings of job dissatis-
faction can range from mild
fmstration to consistent feel-
ings of unhappiness. On the
same survey by Everest Col-
lege of Business, 22 percent
of respondents indicated that
their salary was the most de-
pressing thing about their
job, whereas 12 percent said
a lack of opportunity for ca-
reer advancement was. Per-
haps more troubling, 40 per-
cent of respondents believed
that their current job did not
offer a lot of opportunity for
advancement.
"If you are reaching a
moderate level of job dissat-
isfaction and have not yet
started thinking about alter-
natives, it's time to start
learning about new opportu-
nities of which there are
many," says Kennedy. "Ca-
reer fit is important to hap-
piness on the job. Retraining
can play a key role in chang-
ing lives for the better and
most of our students are
working while learning new
skills to transition to a new
career path."
Long Plane Ride
Challenges Body
Q .This summer I'll be
• taking my dream
vacation to New Zealand. I
have never flown on a
plane for more than four
hours, and even then my
back and knees begin to
bother me. A friend sug-
gested I do exercises on the
plane to keep from sitting
down for so long. What
type of exercises can T do in
a cramped airplane?
A, Air travel can be a
• challenge, especially
if you're sitting for long
periods of time. The secret is
to plan before your trip to
avoid any discomfort while
flying-
First, if you have any med-
ical conditions or concerns,
speak with your physician
before you leave. Be sure to
include the length of the air-
plane ride, stopovers, etc., so
he or she will have the infor-
mation needed to suggest a
plan to help you have a
smooth trip.
Next, begin by getting in
shape as much as you can in
the weeks leading up to your
trip. The fitter you are, the
more your body will be able
to tolerate die Icxig plane
ride to New Zealand. Your
muscles, bones and joints
are naU accustomed to sitting
for extended periods of time,
especially in the small con-
fines of an airplane seat. The
stronger your body, the bet-
ter you '11 feel upon arrival.
Cardiovascular, strength
and flexibility exercises
should all be part of your
prc-trip exercise routine.
Walking or jogging, a total-
body strength training rou-
tine and flexibility exercises
or classes such as Pilates or
yoga can be a great combi-
nation. U you already have
an exercise program, contin-
ue with your routine and add
any needed exercises.
Remember to practice
good posture in the weeks
leading up to your trip. Try
to develop a strong core —
which includes your whole
trunk region — and avoid
slumping forwarding or
leaning to the side while dri-
ving or sitting at home. Prac-
ticing these habits can help
you develop the technique
and strength to do this while
on a plane. Poor posture
while sitting can cause prob-
lems with your lower back,
neck and shoulders. Sitting
for hours on an airplane with
this poor posture can begin
to cause discomfort.
Once on the plane, remem-
ber to practice these good
posture techniques and con-
tinue to move your legs,
arms and neck throughout
the flight. Many airlines
offer exercise suggestions
on in-flight screens to
remind passengers to move
their limbs every hour.
Sleeping may seem like
the best way to get through a
long trip; however, if you
plan to sleep, ask someone
you are flying with or a
flight attendant to wake you
occasionally so you can get
up and walk, stretch and get
the blood flowing through-
out your body. While sitting,
you can move your legs, roll
your ankles, stretch your
wrist, shoulders and neck —
and just keep moving.
Although the space is lim-
ited on an airjdane, you can
still move enough to keep
your body strong and happy
on your way to your dre^
vacation.
Always consult a physician
before beginning an exercise
program. If you have a fit-
ness or training question,
write to Andrea in care of

BABIES AND BOTTLED WATER
Babies may be accus- brought to you in the interest
tomed to being bottle-fed, but
should they be drinking
bottled water? According to
the Centers for Disease Con-
trol, cavities among pre-
school children are on the rise.
Of course, the usual suspects
are sugary drinks, sugar-laden
snacks, and/or poor oral hy-
giene, but dentists also have
another culprit in mind. The
increasing use of bottled wa-
ter is also thought to play a
role in the increasing number
of baby teeth with decay.
While bottled water may be
promoted as being healthier
than tap water, it does not con-
tain fluoride or other impor-
tant minerals. Filters in home
water-purifying systems may
also play a role in excluding
these decay-fighting elements
from babies. If so, the dentist
may recommend fluoride
treatments.

bathes the teeth with sugar

Sl;irs
ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Your zeal for challenges
usually works well for you.
But this week it's best to
avoid jumping into new situ-
ations without more informa-
tion. Vital news emerges by
the weekend.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) Once again, the Bovine 's
patience pays off as that
pesky problem works itself
out wi^out taking too much
of your valuable time. A new
task opens interesting possi-
bilities.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Those suggestions you
want to share need to be set
aside for a while so you can
focus on the job at hand.
There'll be time later to put
your ideas into a workable
format.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Be sure about your
sources before you use the
information in any decision
you reach about your new
project. Some of the data
might be out of date or misin-
terpreted.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
A sudden challenge might
rattle you at first. But pump
up that strong Lion's heart
with a full measure of
courage and face it with the
continuing support of family
and friends.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) Watch your
expenses this week so you
can have a financial cushion
to fall back on should things
tighten up later this month.
Money matters case by the
31st.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Uncertainty over
workplace pohcy aeatcs
anxiety and confusion among
your colleagues. Don't be
surprised if you're asked,
once again, to help work
things out.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) The work-
week keeps you busy tying
up loose ends and checking
data diat needs to be verified.
Tlie weekend offers a chance
to relax and restore your
spent energies.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21) This
is not the best time to go to
extremes to prove a point.
Better to set a sensible goal
now and move forward.
There'll be time later to take
the bolder course.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) A step-by-
step progression is the better
way to move ahead. Taking
shortcuts could be risky at
this time. Important news
arrives on the 3 1st.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Avoid getting
drawn into workplace dis-
putes that should be handled
by those directly involved.
Instead, spend your energy
developing those new ideas.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) You still need to
be prudent about money mat-
ters. But things start to ease
by the end of the week. A
weekend encounter with an
old friend brings welcome
news.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
handle challenging situations
with boldness when neces-
sary and caution when called
for.

SCOTT DEWARE
A THOUGHT
Someone once said that happi-
ness is not perfected until it is
shared.
We all know that a happy person
is not necessarily free from trouble.
It indicates they do not allow
troubles to overwhelm them.
In case after case it has been proved happy people have
learned contentment comes from an inner peace within
themselves. They find cause for gratitude in all things. In
fact, some of their problems and difHculties have even
bettered their lives.
Of course, there are many ways to find happiness. But
one of the best ways is with other people. One seldom
finds it alone . . .
It can, for example, be found in inviting a friend, an
acquaintance, a neighbor to attend church with you.
Even if you are turned down, the effort itself can give you
a happy feeling, because you tried. If your invitation is
accepted, you will be even more happy. Many, many
people can testify how true this is ... Isn't it worth trying?

ARCHITECTURAL RENDERING OF BJ.'s WHOLESALE CLUB's proposed outlet and parking at Crown Colony in West
Quincy.
Davis Calls Neighborhood Meeting For Aug, 20
BJ's Hopes To Brealc
Ground In November
National Internationl Interest
Tourism
Surges With
Spotlight On
John Adams
By LAURA GRIFFIN
B.J.'s Wholesale Club
management aims to open an
outlet at 200 Crown Colony
Drive next August, accord-
ing to developer Michael
DiGuiseppe of Coastal Part-
ners, Beverly Farms.
DiGuiseppe recently out-
lined his firm's proposal for
a $20 million investment in a
B.J.'s store on the site of the
former Patriot Ledger print-
ing plant at the entrance to
Crown Colony in West
Quincy.
"A lot of people support
B.J.'s tenancy," DiGuiseppe
said, noting that Quincy' s
8000 members of the B.J.'s
Warehouse Club could en-
joy the convenience of a lo-
cal outlet instead of driving
to Weymouth.
DiGuiseppe's timetable
calls for ground-breaking in
November.
Before that becomes a re-
ality, however, DiGuiseppe' s
firm must win clearance from
state and city officials, and,
according to City Council
President Jay Davis, support
from the neighbors in Ward
4.
Davis will hold a neigh-
borhood meeting at 7 p.m.,
Wednesday, Aug. 20 at the
Ward 4 Conmiunity Center.
In addition. Conservation
Commissioners have contin-
ued their B.J.'s hearing to
Wednesday, Aug. 6 at 8:10
p.m. and the Planning Board
to Aug. 13.
Protecting Against West Nile Virus
Due to the higher than
usual number of culex mos-
quitoes found in Quincy
traps-the Quincy Health De-
partment is beefing up their
education efforts on West
Nile Virus (WNV).
The following are tips to
protect yourself and your
family during the summer
months:
West Nile Virus (WNV)
West Nile virus is a mos-
quito-cairied virus that usu-
£dly causes mild or no illness
in humans. In rare cases,
WNV can cause encephali-
tis (swelling of the brain) or
meningitis (swelling of the
lining of the brain and sig-
nal cord).
Protect Yourself
Your risk of getting ill
from WNV is low, but you
can lower your risk even
more by trying to avoid mos-
quito bites.
Here are some things you
can do to reduce yoiir
chances of being bitten by a
mosquito:
Schedule outdoor events
to avoid the hours between
dusk and dawn when mos-
quitoes are most »:tive.
When you are outdoors,
wear a long-sleeved shirt,
long pants and socks.
Use a mosquito mptVxtA
that contains DEET,
picaridin or oil cf lemon eu-
calyptus. Always follow the
directions on the label.
Make sure window and
door screens do not have
holes in them.
Remove Standing Water
Mosquitoes grow in
standing (stagnant) water.
Getting rid of that water
helps to lower the number of
mosquitoes in your area.
Look around outside your
house for containers and
otho: things that mi^t col-
lect water and turn them
over, regularly empty them,
or dispose of them.
Final approval rests with
the City Council, acting as
the Special Permit Granting
Authority. Those hearings
have not been scheduled.
DiGuiseppe is, also, meet-
ing with members of the
Crown Colony Association
which does not have an offi-
cial voice in the process.
Speedy approval would
benefit the city and its resi-
dents, according to
DiGuiseppe and his attorney,
Robert Fleming, who met
recently with The Quincy Sun
editorial staff.
According to Davis,
Coastal Partners must con-
clude the permit process in a
limited period.
While some might prefer
an office building or condo-
miniums at the site,
DiGuiseppe said there is no
market for either at this time
and he believes the B.J.'s
proposal is the best option,
regardless of the market.
DiGuiseppe said that,
originally, 28 firms bid for
the 7.5 acre property. Only
six bids quahfied for the fi-
nal round and all of those
bids were for retail opera-
tions.
In mid-April,
DiGuiseppe's firm. Coastal
Partners, executed a purchase
and sale agreement for the

Tourism in Quincy is
surging and there's no end in
sight, according to Mark
Carey, Executive Director of
Discover Quincy, who said
the news just gets better and
better.
The latest boon to the city
is the announcement that the
HBO production on John
Adams has been nominated
for 23 Emmy awards for the
best mini-series on television
last year. That's the highest
number of nominations for
any program in any category
for 2007.
The series' lead actress,
actor and supporting actor as
well as its costumes, direct-
ing music and writing have
been nominated for the
awards.
The new publicity adds
up to more tourism in Quincy ,

For Bravery In Liberating France In World War II
French Award William TYicker Legion of Honor Medal
Former Quincy resident
William "Bill" Tucker, 84,
was presented the French
Legion of Honor Medal
recently by Francois
Gauthier, France's Consul
General in Boston.
Gauthier and Governor
Deval Patrick joined some
300 persons at the Landham
Hotel to salute Tucker and
four other veterans for their
service to France in World
War II.
Patrick greeted Gauthier
in French, then praised the
five veterans for their courage
on the battlefield in the
Second World Wair.
"France will never forget
what America has done for
her, " Gauthier said, referring
to American soldiers who
liberated France from
German forces in 1944.
Gauthier then presented
the French Legion Medal first
instituted by Napoleon for
outstanding service to
France. His presentation to
Tucker follows:
"At considerable personal
risk, your bravery helped
make (St. Mere Eglise) the
first French town liberated
by American soldiers during
this war.
"In the days that followed,
you were at the forefront of
the Allied progress in the
hedgerows of Normandy.
You then fought in Holland,
where you made the combat
jump during Operation Mar-
ket Garden in September
1944, in the Rhineland, and
in the Battle of the Bulge,
where you were severely
wounded in January of 1 945 .
"Prior to D-Day, you had
also made combat jumps in
Italy in 1943. You wrote sev-
eral books about your story
and the fierce battles of

Banner' was played at the ceremony.
Normandy and beyond. A
recipient of the Bronze Star
and the Purple Heart, you are
also an honorary citizen of

18 when he joined the
Parachute Infantry Regiment.
Near the war's end, he was
one of the hundreds of
American paratroopers who
landed in the town of Sainte
Mere Eglise on the night
before D-Day and the
Normandy landings.
"This was the first city
liberated in World War II,"
Tucker said this week in
describing the parachute
landing.
During the early morning
landings, some of the
buildings were on fire,
illuminating the sky, and
making the paratroopers easy
targets. Many died in the fires
or were shot by Germans as
they were caught in trees or
on utility poles. One soldier
was tangled and hanging
from the church spire.
After the war, residents
rebuilt their town and created
a stained glass window
depicting St. Mary with an
American paratrooper.
Tucker came home where
he studied at Boston
University and Boston
University Law School. He
worked on several of John F.
Kennedy's campaigns and
wrote four books.
One of those books,
"Parachute Soldier,"
described his experiences in
the parachute unit»The book
was published in 1994.
Tucker became chairman
of the United States Interstate
Conmierce Commission and
a trustee for the Department
fXj
of Justice.
"They don't make giiys
like him too often," his friend
Richard Keane said of
Tucker. Keane and John
(Butch) Mahoney joined
Tucker's family at the award
ceremony on Bastille Day-.
Keane' s home is now in
Harwichport but he
maintained an apartment in
Quincy until recently.

Special Containers Donated
City Launches Recycling
Pilot Program In Parks
A pilot program encour-
aging recycling at four of the
city's major parks is now un-
derway thanks to a donation
of special containers to the
Quincy Recycling Commit-
tee.
Large blue barrels lined
with biodegradable bags are
now in place to collect
recyclables at Pageant Field,
the Ryan Boathouse, Adams
Field and the Fenno Street
playground. The recycling
committee, a collaboration
of city departments and resi-
dents, picked those parks for
the pilot program because of
the high volume of summer-
time traffic, officials said.
The barrels were donated
by Marina Kelly, a member
of the recycling committee
and the Quincy Environmen-
tal Network. The city's Park
Department and Department
of Public Works will use ex-
isting resources to empty the
barrels regularly throughout
the summer and into the fall.
Under the city's new trash
collection contract, the city
gets paid a fee for the amount
of garbage it recycles, and
city officials plan to keep
close track of how much re-
cyclable material is recov-
ered through the program.
"The committee is work-
ing tremendously hard to
advocate for programs like
these, and we are very grate-
ful for the donation. I know
the results will be positive,"
said John Sullivan, the pro-
gram manager at the DPW.
Kelly donated the barrels
to the recycHng committee in
memory of her mother, who
died of breast cancer in 2006.
Kelly said she believes that
her mother's illness may
Sales Tax-Free Weekend
Aug. 16-17 OK's By Senate
When the State Senate
calls for a decision on a sales
tax-free weekend in the
middle for an economic
slump, it's awfully hard to
vote "no."
So Quincy's Sen. Michael
Morrissey did the right thing
last week when he and his
colleagues voted the tax holi-
day Aug. 16-17, giving ap-
proval to at least one tax-free
day for the fifth year.
The Legislature renewed
its commitment to the citi-
zens of the Commonwealth
with the reinstitution of the
Sales Tax Holiday," said
Morrissey.
"The Sales Tax Holiday is
a 'thank you' to the citizens
of the Commonwealth for
continuing to shoulder the
burden of increased house-
hold expenses,, while at the
same time having the oppor-
tunity to booster our
economy."
As in previous years, al-
most all, purchases under
$2,500 will be tax free dur-
ing the weekend of Aug. 16-
17. Vehicles, motorized
boats, tobacco, meals and
utiHties are excluded.
Last years' tax d produced
nearly $500 million in sales.
The current bill now goes
to the governor for his sig-
nature.
have been a result of envi-
ronmental factors because
there is no history of the dis-
ease in her family. A pink rib-
bon will be tied to each of the
containers to raise awareness
for breast cancer research.
"The more we can do to
keep the environment
healthy only helps to keep us
all healthy," Kelly said.
Residents can get in-
volved in the city's recycHng
efforts by joining the Quincy
Recycling Committee. The
conMTiittee meets on the sec-
ond Wednesday of every
month at 7 p.m. in the admin-
istrative offices of DPW, 55

Hank And Spike
HANK
SPIKE
Henry (Hank) Bradley, as many of you know, is
director of Quincy Veterans Services.
But, did you know that he's also a clown? And proud
ofiL
He is one of 60 or so Aleppo Shrine Clowns that
raise funds to treat
children with severe
burns at the
Shriners Hospital
For Children in
Boston, also known
as the Shriners Bum
Institute.
"Children from all around the world come here to be
treated," says Hank, who became Spike The Clown six
years ago. Why the name Spike?
"Trying to think of a name for a clown isn't very
easy," he says.
But his wife, Rosemarie, came up with Spike. That
was the nickname of Hank's late father, George Brad-
ley.
"Why not Spike," she suggested. "Your father loved
children, as clowns do."
The clowns raise funds for the Shriners Hospital, ap-
pearing at special events like parades around the state.
And entertaining the young patients at the hospital
and at special functions.
Hank spent this past weekend entertaining at a cook-
out in Wilmington for the youngsters and at a commu-
nity event in Salem.
Children have been a major part of his life.
He's been Santa's stand-in for 36 years, beginning
when he was a Quincy police officer, visiting homes
Christmas Eve. And continued, visiting veterans' hos-
pitals and senior facilities.
He was the star of the Quincy Christmas Festival
Parade for 1 3 years, riding down Hancock Street on a
fire engine.
This year he expects to be walking in the parade as
Spike with other members of the Shriners Clown Unit.
He's looking forward to walking the three-mile pa-
rade route from Quincy center to North Quincy.
It gives him the chance to get closer to the crowds,
especially the youngsters.
"Seeing the smiles on their faces is something you
just never forget," he says.
The smiles also belong to adults, especially veterans
of various wars, standing in the crowd wearing caps
with the names of their ships and units.
An Air Force veteran of the Vietnam War era. Hank
spots them and walks into the crowd to shake their hand
and thank them for serving their country.
It would seem inevitable that he would become so
active with the Shriners. He knew, first hand, the good
they do.
A past state commander of the American Legion,
Hank, and Quincy 's John (Jake) Comer, past National
Commander, teamed with Shriners to save the life of a
Bahamas boy in 1993.
Claudius Burrows, 9, suffered third degree bums over
most of his body when his crepe-paper costume caught
fire and burst into flames at a church Christmas festi-
val.
Jake and his late wife, Eileen, happened to be in the
Bahamas at the time, A priest from the church told them
he was afraid Claudius might die without the expert
medical care he direly needed. There was no facility
there to provide that care.
Jake gave the priest Hank's telephone number and
told him to call. The priest did. And Hank took it from
there.
He put Dr. Robert Sheridan of Quincy, a doctor at
the Shriners Hospital in contact with a doctor in the
Bahamas. That doctor said Claudius would surely die
if he did not get the expert care he needed.
Dr. Sheridan told him that Shriners Hospital would
take Claudius as a patient if he somehow could get to
Boston.
Hank's daughter, Annette, a registered nurse at the
hospital, happened to have the telephone number of
the Aleppo Temple in Tampa, Ra.
Hank called there and told them of Claudius' plight.
Could they pay for a medical equipped plane to fly
him to Boston?
Yes, the could and would. And allocated the $9,000
needed for the plane trip. The pilot of that plane, inci-
dentally, was Mel Acuff, a Quincy resident. All of this
was accomplished in a couple of days.
Claudius healed from those bums after treatment at
the Shriners Hospital.
Hank and Jake raised $10,000 to provide air condi-
tioning in Claudius' home and school classroom be-
cause he had to wear a weighty Rubber Jobst to pre-
vent scarring while recovering from the bums.
Claudius later visited Hank, Jake and Mayor James
Sheets. And frolicked in the snow in front of City Hall,
a rare experience for a boy from the warm Bahamas.
Jake hosted a party for him and Sheets proclaimed
"Claudius Burrows Day In Quincy."
Hanging in the closet with the Santa suit and Spike's
costume are two bunny costumes.
He wears one of them as the Easter Bunny when he
visits the brain injured children at the Franciscan Hos-
pital in Brighton.
Hank, you could say is a man for all seasons.
Stop & Shop Quincy Stores Raise $51,818 To Fight Cancer

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1907 real photo postcard view of what was
known as Chapel Rocks in Squantum Park. Virtually
unchanged today, this spot is pretty much the same as
when flrst seen by Myles Standish in 1621. This is one
of the few sections of "New England's rocky coast"
among Quincy's 27 miles of coastline. Today, the Birch
trees still cling precariously to this cliff and thrive here;
they grow throughout this section of the Park. The cliff
itself is more interesting than the trees. Geologists
around the world known of the rock formations ex-
posed here. There are different layers of sedimentary
rocks from millions of years ago that are considered
by experts to be very rare. Boston area college profes-
sors have brought hundreds of geology students here
from the colleges and universities to observe them. To

Questions City's Decision To Evict Beech wood Center
In a city like Quincy,
where politics is a blood
sport, it should come as no
surprise that innocent by-
standers can get caught in the
crossfire and become casu-
alties of war. When one of
those innocent bystanders
happens to be a respected
non-profit organization that
serves thousands of local
residents, however, the citi-
zens of Quincy should loudly
decry such political power
plays especially when it
means that taxpayers will
now have to pay for services
previously provided by the
private sector.
I'm referring to the city's
abrupt eviction of
Beechwood on the Bay,
which for more than two de-
cades provided Quincy and
South Shore residents with a
host of programs and ser-
vices all funded by private
dollars. From Beechwood's
comprehensive senior-citi-
zen offerings to its accredited
childcare center to the
facility's music school,
Beechwood on the Bay filled
a critical void in this city at a
time when municipal bud-
gets were tight and extra
public funding was hard to
come by.
A time, in other words, a
lot like now.
Parents of young children
had a safe and secure pro-
gram in which to leave their
children. Adults with elderly
parents could bring them to
Beechwood's senior drop-in
program, knowing that their
loved ones were not only
well cared for, but enter-
tained, nurtured and sup-
ported by a caring staff. And
who can forget the many
years of Senior Olympics,
which provided thousands of
local seniors with opportuni-
ties to stay fit and active?
Now, abruptly, those ser-
vices will be gone. When
Beechwood's doors close on
Aug. 1, they will stay closed
for the foreseeable future,
while the city determines
what renovations the build-
ing will require for what,
exactly?
The city still hasn't said
what new programs will re-
place Beechwood's offer-
ings, or how it plans to pay
for all these programs and
services that previously had
been provided by private
funding.
So many questions re-
main. What will happen to
the 50 seniors who range in
age from 78 to 99 who come
to Beechwood each day for
care and companionship?
How will all those working
parents secure child care for
the fall on such short notice,
when many centers maintain
lengthy waiting hsts? Where
is the city going to get the
money to pay the $70,000 its
costs each year to maintain
the building, when it hasn't
even begun a costly project
to replace the building's sew-
age pump — despite the fact
the Conservation Commis-
sion approved the project last
year?
All of which begs the
question: Why the rush?
Why did Mayor Koch feel
the need to abruptly evict
Beechwood on the Bay from
its city-owned home, when
its lease wasn't up until the
end of 2009? Why force
Beechwood to meet an evic-
tion deadUne that provided
no time for the agency to re-
locate? Why leave working
adults, children and seniors
with so little time to find al-
ternate arrangements? And
why, during this economy,
would the city want strug-
gling taxpayers to assume
the financial
responsibility of paying
for these services when a pri-
vate agency was already pro-
viding them?
Some speculate that the
answers may be found in last
year's mayoral election,
when then-Mayor Phelan
made the creation of a new
senior center a centerpiece of
his reelection campaign.
That plan would have placed
the senior center squarely on
the site of a building named
for Koch's father.
Others see the rush to es-
tabbsh a new senior center in
Beechwood's longtime
home as a political thank you
to Council on Aging Direc-
tor Tom Clasby, who fa-
mously resigned his position
shortly before Election Day
in a dispute with Mayor
Phelan over the planned se-
nior center then immedi-
ately got his job back when
Koch was elected.
Regardless of what factors
led City Hall to orchestrate
Beechwood's demise, the
city has failed to prove that
there is, in fact, an urgent
need for yet another senior
center when it already main-
tains several neighborhood
community centers that pro-
vide senior programs in more
convenient locations. Absent
evidence of such a compel-
ling need, Beechwood's
closing is an unnecessary
loss for the Quincy commu-
nity and a sad reminder that
in a game of pohtics vs. the
pubhc interest, politics still
wins.

preliminary injunction blocking the city from proceeding
with plans for a municipal incinerator at Hardwick's Quarry.

MONADNOCK
MOUNTAIN
SPRING WATER
Monadnock Mountain
Spring Water is fresh because
it's delivered daily from their
own springs in Wilton, New
Hampshire. Packaging takes
place at the source and at
Monadnock's state-of-the-art
bottling headquarters plant lo-
cated at 134 Penn Street in
Quincy.
Mike Verrochi, owner, says,
"Purity is ensured through a
multi-layer approach utilizing
filtration and oxygenating pro-
cess called ozonation, and no
chemicals are added." Spring
water brought in on stainless
steel tank trucks from Wilton
are ready for delivery to home
and business customers the
very next day.
"It's that fresh," said
Verrochi, who also served as
chairman of the board for
the International Bottled
Water Association.
Clean Convenience
For home and office de-
livery, Monadnock's unique
No-Spill System features a
cap that is never removed,
eliminating spills or con-
tamination. Instead the 5-
gallon water bottle is placed
on top of the cooler's sani-
tary probe where the cap
opens itself once set in
place. Upon removal, the
cap re-seals itself and as-
sures that all caps are re-
cycled because they're re-
turned to the plant with the
bottles.
Personalized Water
Bottle Labels
Monadnock is the only
Boston-area company offer-
Steve Maloney, a route salsesperson for Monadnock
Mountain Spring Water.
ing a "personalized label"
program, giving businesses,
organizations and individu-
als an effective branding
opportunity. At weddings,
anniversaries or gradua-
tions, they add a personal
touch to the occasion.
The Environment
Individual water bottles
are generally 30-40%
lighter in weight than car-
bonated soft drinks and
100% recyclable, so drink-
ing bottled water is better
for the environment.
Monadnock recycles ev-
erything possible and ac-
tively encourages its custom-
ers to do so as well. Its No-
Spill System is designed to
reduce waste by using refill-
able five-gallon bottles and
eliminating loose bottle caps.
The cooler bottle can be re-
used 50 -75 times before re-
cycling. Monadnock re-
cycles 77% of its entire
waste volume including
plastics, oils, paper, corru-
gated and metal parts.
Also, for twenty-five cents
per gallon, customers can re-
fill their own containers at
the Quincy location.
Quality Service and Staff
Wondering about your de-
livery person?
Find their profiles at
"Meet Your Driver" on the
company's web site. Though
a multiple award winner for
water purity, Monadnock
competes against much
larger companies. Personal
service and friendly, knowl-
edgeable employees level the
playing field.
"We look for people who
care about themselves. You can
have the most beautiful bot-
tling plant in the world, but
99% of your customers will
never see it. It's our people and
our vehicles they come mto
contact with. We want to put
our best foot forward," he said.

Quincy Man Sues
Surgeon, Hospital
A Quincy man, whose
doctor appeared to have been
dozing off in the midst of
surgery, has brought suit
against the surgeon, five
other doctors, two nurses and
the hospital, all for malprac-
tice.
Michael E. Hicks claimed
he was undergoing a second
round of surgery for gyneco-
mastia at Beth Israel Dea-
coness Hospital when Dr.
Loren Borud of Newton be-
gan falling asleep and had to
leave the OR.
As a result, what was
planned to be an hour and a
half operation turned into
five hours of surgery due
chiefly to Borud's absence
when another physician had
to take over.
Borud was fired by Beth
Israel on June 27, partly due
to the Hicks incident and a
state medical board sus-
pended his hcense last week,
due partly to problems with
substance abuse.
Hicks claimed the other
doctors and nurses should
have called off the operation
when they saw Borud was
falling asleep and the hospi-
tal failed to notify him of the
doctor's previous behavior.

City Receives National
Community Development Award
The City of Quincy has
been presented with a na-
tional community develop-
ment award, announce
Mayor Thomas P. Koch and
Planning Director Dennis E.
Harrington.
The award was presented
to staff members of the
City's Department of Plan-
ning and Community Devel-
opment at a recent meeting
of the National Community
Development Association.
The award recognizes the
communities that exemplify
the spirit of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Housing and Urban
Development's Community
Development Block Grant
The All New
program by showcasing its
good works through the ac-
tivities and events during
National Community Devel-
opment Week.
The award reads, "The
John A. Sasso National
Community Development
Week Award is presented to
the City of Quincy, Massa-
chusetts, in recognition of
your community's exem-
plary activities and events
during the 2008 National
Community Development
Week campaign," and was
presented by the National
Community Development
Association's Immediate
Past-President and Executive
Director, Emory Counts, and
Cardell Cooper, respectively.
Accepting on behalf of
the City of Quincy were
Nancy Callanan, Commu-
nity Development Director;
Elizabeth Manning, Princi-
pal Planner; and Sean
Glennon, Senior Planner.
The city's Planning De-
partment produced a video
presentation for the awards
ceremony. The video may
be viewed from the main
page of the City's official
website at: http://
www.ci.quincy.ma.us.
(Cont'd From Paf^e I)
7.5 acre property from Led-
ger owner GateHouse Me-
dia New England. He de-
clined to disclose the sale
price.
Under the current plan.
Coastal Partners will develop
the project and lease the prop-
erty to the Natick-based
B.J.'s Wholesale Club.
B.J.'s shoppers purchase
memberships which can be
used in any of the club' s 1 80
outlets in 1 6 states. The stores
sell such items as food, cloth-
ing, housewares and office
equipment.
During work for other
developers in that area,
Fleming said that residents
actually asked for develop-
ment of a supermarket closer
to their neighborhood. While,
this is not a supermarket, it
does sell essentials.
Fleming's firm is cur-
rently representing the
Lowe' s Warehouse develop-
ment project in the same ward
on Burgin Parkway.
As for traffic, DiGuiseppe
believes that the retail shop-
ping outlet will not seriously
impact commuter traffic in
the area and the area is in
good shape with the 'flyover'
planned to ease traffic.
"People shop during non-
peak hours," DiGuiseppe
said, adding that he had re-
viewed the area's traffic sta-
tistics prior to the bid.
Some might prefer con-
dominiums or apartments but
Fleming cited the increased
cost to the taxpayer for city
utilities and school-age chil-
dren.
In contra.st, DiGuiseppe
said a B.J.'s warehouse will
help homeowners' taxes, and
provide jobs for local resi-
dents, and union members.
DiGuiseppe said the
84,000 square foot building
will be union built, "We rec-
ognize that Quincy is a union
city."
In addition, once B.J.'s is
open, DiGuiseppe said that
the store will employ almost
200 workers, most of whom
will be from Quincy.
DiGuiseppe and Fleming
said the project will be a boon
to the city's commercial tax
base. Fleming pointed out
that the city ' s commercial tax
percentage has dropped from
40 percent to 1 6 percent, put-
ting significant pressure on
homeowners. He added that
projects like B.J.'s will help
change that ratio.
Both Mayor Thomas
Koch and Davis have ex-
pressed their concern over
the aesthetics of the project
for the office park.
Wholesale clubs like
B.J.'s operate with a no-frills
philosophy and this, often,
applies to their buildings
known as "big box stores"
with some charging they bor-
der on ugly.
DiGuiseppe believes his
firm has addressed such con-
cerns by submitting changes
in the roof design, landscap-
ing, and arches and panels in
the front.
And the developers have
reduced the size by more than
20 percent to 84,000 square
feet, "an appropriate size" for
Quincy, according to
DiGuiseppe who noted that
most B.J. Warehouses are
120,000 square feet.
Under the current plan,
the store's hundreds of park-
ing spaces will front on
Crown Colony Drive, but the
designated delivery area is in
the rear in a lower area, ac-
cording to DiGuiseppe.
If the project succeeds.
Coastal Partners will develop
the property with a lease to
B.J.'s Wholesale Club, the
Natick-based membership
warehouse club.
The sale is contingent on
Coastal Partners' winning
approval of the project from
state and city agencies within
a specific time frame.

Lesser Known Recyclables
By Cherie Dewar
Congratulations to Quincy for uicreasing the
tonnage of recyclables since single-stream
recycling began in July! The more we recycle
or remove from regular trash, the less Quincy
spends on waste disposal, and the more money
we earn from the recyclables themselves.
Let's **up the ante** and zone in on objects
you may still be throwing away, but are in &ct
recyclable. The first item to mention that is
recyclable is aerosol cans, which was
incorrectly mentioned as non-recyclable in
previous DPW literature. Aerosol cans like hair
spray, air freshener, shaving cream, window
cleaner and spray butter (Pam) aerosol cans are
recyclable. Explosive aerosol cans like propane
or butane are not recyclable.
Aluminum cans, paper, and glass and plastic
bottles are commonly known to be recyclable.
Taking these basic parts and applying it to other
objects in your home can result in adding even
less to your trash. The following items are
indeed accepted by Capitol Waste in the single-
stream recycling containers. It is always advised
to clean the items before you recycle them, and
it keeps your recycling container clean and
odor-free.
Plastfes - To know if it's recyclable, the best bet
is to check the plastic for a recycling symbol
with number 1-7.
Spice containers
Cups from &st food chains, and their tops
Children's spill resistant cups from other
restaurants, and their tops
Strawberry containers (box-sh^)ed)
Pastry containers
Yogurt and pudding ciq^s
Potted plant's plastk containers
Dunkin' Ponuts
Paper cup holder trays
Cleaned plastic cups and their tops
Puffer
Faper towel and toilet paper tubes
English muffin containers
Bar soap boxes
Cereal and waffle boxes
Metals
The metal ends of Pillsbury product tubes, like
their biscuits
The metal end of concentrated frx>zen juice
"togs"
Non-e3q)k>sive aerosol cans - see above
(propane and butane bottles prohibited)
Tuning into the greater breadth of what's
recyclable definitely increases this "less is
more" benefit to our wonderful city and Earth!

Tri-Town Mayors
Explore Regional
Tourism Partnership
First, the mayors of
Quincy, Weymouth and
Braintree developed a tri-
town partnership on trash
collection.
Now, they're talking
about a regional tourism part-
nership.
The three tri-town may-
ors, Quincy' s Thomas Koch,
Weymouth's Sue Kay and
Braintree' s Joseph Sullivan,
agreed to fund a study of
regional tourism.
Koch, Kay and Sullivan
pitched in portions of the
$5,000 needed to finance the
study which will explore po-
tential partnerships for re-
gional tourism.
Sunmier intern Meredith
Hill of Abington will con-
duct the research, explore
options and present a report
to the mayors in early Fall.
Hill is currently developing
a scope of the study for the
three administrations.
"It behooves us to create
partnerships," said Mark
Carey, Executive Director of
Discover Quincy, who said
tourism partnerships repre-
sent "a new way of think-
ing."
Carey said visitors don't
choose cities, but rather re-
gions where they may find a
whole package of hotels,
shopping, sightseeing and
activities. "They know re-
gions."
"All things Adams" is a
phrase coined by Carey to
describe major Adams his-
torical sites. Hill agreed that
almost "all things Adams"
are located in Quincy.
"Quincy probably has the
greater (number of) tourist
visitors." Hill said, adding,
"It has a great deal to offer."
However, neither Hill nor
Carey beheve a tourist part-
nership will diminish eco-
nomic returns to Quincy.
Carey said that tourists
will find a longer visit more
attractive and spend more
money if they're offered all
the benefits of the region.
Both suggested a partner-
ship with Weymouth and
Braintree could benefit by
increasing the advertising
budget for all three munici-
palities.
"The more time we can
have tourists spend in the re-
gion, there is a benefit to all,"
Hill said, adding that when
there are "more options, the
greater diversity of people
will come."
Hill cited the Abigail
Adams birthplace in
Weymouth, the General
Sylvanus Thayer birthplace
in Braintree and the Braintree
Historical Society.

Here are some tips re-
garding summer auto safety,
which I received from a State
Fire Marshal bulletin
(OSFM: Fire Information).
When a car overheats, at-
tempting to open a hot radia-
tor can cause serious bums.
Every driver should learn to
handle this situation safely.
If your car overheats, shut
the engine off and let the ve-
hicle cool for a while. The
contents of the radiator are
under tremendous pressure.
If you remove the radiator
cap too quickly and without
caution, the boiling liquid
and steam can erupt causing
severe bums to your hands,
amis and face. Wait at least
a half hour for the car to cool
down, place a rag over the
cap and open it slowly, re-
leasing the pressure as
slowly as possible.
Statistics indicate that
adults and teenagers are most
likely to suffer bums from
car radiators. Nearly 60% of
the people scaled by hot car
radiators in the past five
years were between 15 and
44 years of age (M-BIRS).
Approach a hot radiator with
extreme caution.
If you experience a car
fire while driving, pull over,
get out of the car, call for the
fire department and wait for
help away from the vehicle.
Avoid lifting the hood where
doing so can be quite hazard-
ous where adding air will
feed the fire and jeopardize
your welfare.
When filling an approved
container with gasoline,
place the container on the
ground and insert the pump
nozzle by bringing it in con-
tact with the inside of the
container. This practice will
reduce the risk of static elec-
tricity.
If transporting gasoline,
transport the container up-
right out of the passenger
area of your vehicle. WTien
transporting, do so for as
short a time as possible.
Gasoline expands as it is
heated and you want to avoid
fumes migrating into the pas-
senger area of your car.
GasoUne vapors are
very volatile and will ignite
at low temperatures. Fumes
are heavier than air and can
travel a distance igniting
from a remote ignition
source. Keep sparks, heat
and lit cigarettes away from
gasoline use.
Remember, as accus-
tomed as we are to using
gasoline, it must be re-
spected. Over the past five
years, Massachusetts' hospi-
tals treated 137 people for
gasoline-related bums.
Keep gasoUne away from
children. Children between
10 and 14 were almost four
times more likely to get in
trouble with gasoline. If you
store gasoline, make certain
you do so in an approved
container. At home, store
those containers in a well-
ventilated location, away
from habitable buildings and
away from potential ignition
sources.
DO NOT STORE
GASOLINE WITHIN
YOUR HOME.
Have a safe summer.
Alleged Thief Arraigned
After Eastern Bank Heist
Judge Mark Coven
Tuesday ordered that a 38-
year old Copeland Street man
be held on $500,000 surety
or $50,000 cash after
reviewing charges that he
robbed the Eastern Bank on
Franklin Street earlier this
week.
Coven, first justice of
Quincy District Court, set
Sept.2at9a.m.foraprobable
cause hearing for the suspect,
Scott Tower, who faces
charges of armed robbery,
defrauding an innkeeper and
knowingly resisting arrest.
According to the police
report. Tower ordered a beer
at a local restaurant, left
without paying and then
entered the nearby bank
where he handed the teller a
note saying he had a gun. He
was given an undisclosed
sum of money.
Local residents helped
police arrest the officer after
they decided that Tower fit
the description of a man with
a red shirt and no teeth. By
that time, Tower had entered
a nearby CVS.
Lt. Dan Minton of the
crime prevention unit
arrested Tower at the CVS.
Minton was on bicycle patrol
in the area.

GROWTH PLATES
The growth plate is the
area of the developing tissue
near the end of the long bones
in children. Each long bone
has at least one growth plate
at each end. When growth is
completed during adoles-
cence, the growth plates are
replaced by solid bone. Most
injuries to the growth plate
are fractures, which fre-
quently occur in the lower
bones of the leg , the tibia and
fibula. They can also occur in
the anl<le and foot. While
growth plate injuries can be
caused by an acute event,
such as a fall, they can also
be caused by overuse. Un-
treated injuries can cause
permanent damage to growth
plates and interfere with
proper physical growth and
development.
We believe one of the
most important elements of
healthcare we can provide
you with is education. We
bring you these columns in
order to show you how the
many benefits of podiatric
medicine can help l(eep all
the members of your family
walking, running, living in
comfort. And since talcing
care of the feet can't begin
too early, you'll be glad to
know there is a footcare spe-
cialist here in Quincy who can
help you if there seems to be
a problem with your child's
feet. Located at QUINCY

the boardwalk and shops at
Marina Bay, public golf
courses at Granite Links and
Presidents Golf Course, and
the city's 200 restaurants.
"Last week, we sent out
10,000 (booklets) just to the
Northeast," Carey said, call-
ing the requests for informa-
tion, "solid leads. These are
people who saw our ad and
called."
Carey estimated that the
figure is more than five times
the best month that the tour-
ism office reported in years
past. His office also re-
sponded to more than 1000
requests from individuals in
such countries as Italy,
France, United Kingdom,
Germany and Japan.
"We're smack dab in the
middle of sunmier and the
great thing is our expecta-
tions have been surpassed,"
Carey said. "We're still
growmg.
The actual count of visi-
tors at Adams National His-
torical Park increased by
12,569 over the past 12
months, according to
Caroline Keinath, deputy su-
perintendent. By July 6, the
park registered 32,781 visi-
tors in contrast to the July 6,
2007 total of 20,2 12.
Keinath, also, recalled the
change since her arrival in
1987. When she drove into
the city for the first time, few
could direct her to the Adams
National Historical Park on
Adams Street.
Thanks to David
McCullough's biography,
"John Adams," and the mini-
series based on it, the num-
ber of park visitors have long
since passed the annual high
of 200,000.
The numbers will only
increase in the future, accord-
ing to Carey who said the
HBO mini-series is now
available through "On De-
mand" and on DVD's.
He believes the Adams
series will gain even more
mass appeal when "John
Adams" reaches such televi-
sion outlets as A&E and
BRAVO.
Not only are the book and
the HBO series sparking new
interest, but the Adams saga
won't end soon. Carey said
that actor Tom Hanks just
bought the rights to
McCullough's companion
book, "1776" in which
Adams has a prominent role.
As for the value of tour-
ism, it is the third largest in-
dustry in the state, adding
one dollar to the economy
for every three dollars a tour-
ist spends, according to Carey
who calls it an "economic
engine."
Carey cited the trade
industry's "four-hour rule."
If a visitor spends four-hours
in the area, he will eat in the
restaurants, stay at the ho-
tels, shop in the stores and
visit other attractions, boost-
ing the city's base.
Carey said Mayor Tho-
mas Koch is leading efforts
to enhance the city's image,
promote business opportuni-
ties, and develop innovative
strategies.
In addition, to banners,
beautification and clean-up
programs, Koch has initiated
a regional study of tourism
with Weymouth and
Braintree as partners.
Koch said that he is work-
ing to improve signage
around the city and to keep a
smooth travel route for the
Park Service trolleys. He has
contacted the MBTA to en-
sure the stations are clean
and is considering a city ad-
vertising campaign on tran-
sit lines.
"We're working very
closely with Discover
Mayor Plans City Website Overhaul
(Cont'd From Page 1)
look forward to seeing many
of the ideas in action."
Director of Information
Technology Charles Phelan
leads a group within City
Hall that is developing ideas
and researching other city
websites, such as Boston.,
Cambridge and Somerville,
all of which have built suc-
cessful and interactive
websites.
Preliminary plans dis-
cussed to date include ex-
panding bill paying options,
creating e-mail newsletters
and alerts for residents, a
regularly update calendar of
city events and streamlining
requests for service from
residents.
The process from select-
ing a designer to launching
a new site will take several
months. Since January, the
city's IT Department has
made a number of changes
using the website's current
format, from keeping better
track of city meetings to in-
forming residents of impor-
tant construction projects,
Phelan said.
"We are working for now
within the framework that
exists, but there is no ques-
tion that the framework
needs to be almost fully re-
constructed for us to tap the
true potential of the city's
website," Phelan said. "1 en-
courage everyone to log on
to the current site. And give
us some feedback on what
they would like on the new
site."
The city is also undergo-
ing a number of repairs and
upgrades to its computer net-
works, as move that should
make the new site flow faster
and make it easier to navi-
gate, Phelan said.
Quincy, our business part-
ners, the National Park Ser-
vice and Congressman (Wil-
liam) Delahunt on develop-
ing new and creative ways to
make our city an attractive
destination for tourists from
around the world." Koch said.
In the future, the city will
benefit when the docks and
harbor shuttle plans at
Squantum Point Park become
a reality, according to Carey
who said Delahunt has been
directing efforts for those
plans.
Specific changes have al-
ready occurred this year.
There are already eight
additional seasonal staffers
at Adams Park this summer
and Carey's office added a
half-time marketing coordi-
nator through a $60,000 cable
grant shared with Quincy
2000.
Two high school students,
Sebastien Joseph, Quincy
High School and Tho Dang,
North Quincy High School,
are fully occupied as sum-
mer interns with Discover
Quincy and Quincy 2000,
according to Carey.
Both the Marriott Hotel
and Best Western Adams Inn
have shuttle service avail-
able for tourists heading to to
Quincy Center.
Carey's been working
closely with the 75 members
of the Quincy Restaurant
League. He said Quincy is
known as the "restaurant
capital of the South Shore."
due to its 200 eateries and the
variety of its dining estab-
lishments.
Restaurateurs are benefit-
ing from the added tourist
interest. As for exact figures,
Carey said, "It' s hard to mea-
sure."
However, local restaurant
manager Maryann Ahmed of
Craig's Cafe said she's defi-
nitely seen a boost in the num-
ber of tourists, noting that a
day earlier, she had custom-
ers from California, Ireland
and Canada.
"They'll tell you when
they come in," Ahmed said,
adding the Irish visitors said
there was "not enough shop-
ping" in Quincy Center.

ANTHONY ACITO, performing at a pep rally at Quincy High School in May when he was
selected as a semi-flnalist in the ABC TV reality show "High School Musical Get in The Pic-

Anthony Acito Takes Big Step Sunday Night
QHS Grad A Finalist In TV Musical Reality Show
By MIRIAM JOSEPH
Recent Quincy High
School graduate Anthony
Acito is having the time of
his hfe.
So what if he couldn't at-
tend his graduation in June
or his prom or any of the
other year-end activities for
his school — he is a finalist
on ABC-TV's summer real-
ity show "High School Mu-
sical: Get in the picture."
The show will award one
winner the chance to appear
in a music video which will
run during the end credits of
Disney's feature film pro-
duction of "High School
Musical 3: Senior Year,"
scheduled for fall release.
And Anthony is hoping the
one winner will be him.
Described by virtually
everyone who knows him as
an outgoing, personable and
charismatic kid, Anthony
was brought to tears on the
episode which aired July 21
when he learned that he had
made it to the finals to be
held in Salt Lake City, Utah.
"My feelings were really
indescribable ... to finally
break out and be seen as a
performer was really great
because 1 wanted to show the
world what 1 can really do,"
he told The Quincy Sun on a
visit home this week.
'This experience has hon-
estly been life-changing,
probably the best experience
that any kid could go through
because it shows how you
can grow as a performer and
it helps your people skills,
too, because you get to meet
other kids and see how you
connect with them."
His father, Vinnie, shares
everyone else's opinion of
his son. "Anthony is an out-
going kid, everybody loves
him . . . whenever I saw any-
one they would say, 'How's
Anthony?' He left a mark
everywhere he went, in a
good sense, I mean. Every-
one knew he was around.

cial challenges we have
faced as a family — I was

learned the kind of person-

Anthony says he "thought

a video of himself singing
the Beatles' tune "Let It Be."
Weeks later an ABC film
crew arrived at Quincy High
School and before a rallying
crowd of 1,500, announced
that Anthony had been cho-
sen for the semi-fmals and
perform a duet at Walt Disney
would be competing at
Disneyworld.
This past week the focus
of the ABC show shifted to
the West Coast, where six fi-
nalists were chosen to com-
pete against the six East
Coast finahsts — Anthony
among them — this Sunday
(Aug. 3) at 8 p.m. Those 12
finalists will get to visit the
film set of High School Mu-
sical 3: Senior Year.
Although Anthony says
he embarked on his enter-
tainment career while in the
eighth grade, his mother says
that even when he was a little
tot, and being walked in the
carriage, she knew he was
special,
'The other kids would sit,
and you could take a walk,
but not Anthony, he would be
standing, always on the go,
couldn't stay still, and he still
can't!" she said. "Even when
he was little, he was enter-
taining, telling jokes — I
knew something good would
come of it."
The winner of the compe-
tition will also receive an
exclusive talent-hold agree-
ment with ABC and a re-
cording contract for two
singles with Walt Disney
Records, one of which will
be a version of the song from
the music video in which the
winner will star.
Anthony was raised in the
Germantown section of
Quincy, attending Snug Har-
bor and Broad Meadows
Schools. He is the youngest
of four siblings — twins
Lauren and Michael, brother
Jim and eldest brother Mat-
thew.

Linda Balance Hikes White Mountains
In Wilderness Heals Pledge Hike
Linda Balance of Quincy
recently hiked through the
rugged terrain of New
Hampshire's White Moun-
tains in the 1 3th Annual Wil-
derness Heals Pledge Hike.
Wilderness Heals is one
of New England's most chal-
lenging all-female
fundraising events, which
also gives participants a
sense of community. The
three-day pledge Hike ben-
efits The Elizabeth Stone
House in Boston.
The 2008 Wilderness
Heals Pledge Hike was a
huge success and the consis-
tent downpours, intense
lighting and 80 mile per hour
winds, during the three days,
didn't deter the hikers. Bal-
ance, along with more than
5 1 other women, braved the
rugged trails knowing her
hard work would be helping
the women and their children
served at the Stone House for
mental health issues and do-
mestic violence.
'The women who partici-
pated in this year's Wilder-
ness Heals Hike endured so
much due to the weather and
they persevered," says event
director, Danielle Piscatelli.
"The weekend was a true
challenge to their physical-
ity and spirit, but the partici-
pants maintained positive at-
titudes and worked so hard
knowing that they were help-
ing the women at the Stone
House."
Wilderness Heals partici-
pants celebrated their accom-
plishments at a reception at
the Appalachian Mountain
Club's Highland Center at
Crawford Notch. During the
celebration, the women were
moved by an inspirational
speech given by a past Eliza-
beth Stone House resident,
who is now an employee at
the House.
Since 1996, the Wilder-
ness Heals Pledge Hike has
brought together everyday
women. Grandmothers,
young working profession-
als, domestic violence survi-
vors, and many other types
of women, have participated
in the Hike and taken on the
cause. During the Hike, the
women not only face the un-
predictable weather of the
White Mountain region, but
also challenge themselves
with physical, emotional and
financial goals they set.
Founded in 1974, The
EUzabeth Stone House helps
women and children each
year rebuild their lives after
experiencing mental illness,
domestic violence and other
forms of trauma. The Stone
House provides safe shelter,
advocacy, parenting classes
and economic development
programs. It is one of the
few programs in Boston to
work with battered women
with additional mental health
and substance abuse issues.

and Meghan White for Central Middle School's 24th annual fair. Judges reviewed a total of 272
projects submitted by Central students.
272 Science Projects Submitted
At Central Middle School's 24th Fair
Students submitted a
record 272 projects for
Central Middle School's
24th Annual Science Fair,
according to sixth grade
science teacher Sarah
Aheam.
That figure is nearly 50
percent of the school's 564-
student enrollment.
Aheam said the students'
projects ranged from a
comparison of sports
equipment design to testing
cleaning agents, and from
comparing bacteria to
extracting DNA samples.
"Over and over, judges
commented on the hard work
students put forth and the
quality of projects they
produced," Aheam noted in
a written report on the fair.
This year, students were
required to describe and
discuss the technology used
for their project, according
to Aheam.
As for the winners.
Ahearn said the science
department does not
emphasize awards, but rather
participation. The sixth to
eighth grade teachers who
helped the students prepare
their projects are listed. They
are: Aheam. Mike Lenane
Beth Houghton. Judy Tryon.
Keith Kane and Darlene
Koestner.

Chamber President Peter Forman Tells Conway Agents, Managers
Real Estate Growth Seen For South Shore
Misaligned Door
Won't Lock
Q,I have been unable
• to fully lock my ft'ont
aoor for a while now
lMcau.se the door bolt will
no longer go all the way
into the frame. I think the
door is misaligned. How do
I flx this? — Gerard J., San
Diego
A .Definitely check the
• alignment of the door.
You can do this by holding
the end of a ruler or other
straight item against the top
of the frame to see if the
crack between the top of the
door and the frame is
straight or has a slight angle.
You also can check the sides
and bottom this way. If the
door is not hanging straight,
woilt with a friend to remove
the door from its hinges and
place shims under the
hinges.
A shim can be as simple as
a thin piece of cardboard cut
to the shape of the hinge.
When slid into place behind
the hinge plate, it raises the
profile of the hinge, which
changes the angle at which
the door is hung. You may
need to re-hang the door a
few times to get the proper
width and placement of the
shims.
If the door is straight or
shimming doesn't resolve
the latch issue, check the
alignment of the bolt with its
strike plate (the metal plate
set in the door frame). Make
sure the plate is screwed
tightly to the frame and not
wiggling loosely.
The latchboU itself can be
raised or lowered slightly by
shimming it in much the
same way the door is
shimmed. You can insert a
thin piece of cardboard
behind the bottom hinge to
raise the latchbolt, or behind
the lop hinge to lower the
latchboU.

The message to Jack
Conway Realtors agents and
managers at their recent
Mid- Year Awards breakfast
was loud and clear: the South
Shore and Conway Country
is going to be one of the hot-
test areas of growth over the
next decade.
That prediction was de-
livered by Peter Forman,
president of the South Shore
Chamber of Commerce, to a
roomful of more than 250
members of the Conway
Company at the Plymouth
Radisson. They heard
Forman, a former state poli-
tician, sheriff and aide to the
governor, describe their role
in helping the region reach
its potential.
"Conway Country has de-
fined the South Shore and its
economy for the last 20 to 30
years, said Forman. But that
economy is now changing.
And the outlook is very
promising. When you sell
that house, you need to sell
the South Shore as a grow-
ing region."

speaker at the annual Mid-
Year Awards breakfast at

Change Gyms?
Maybe Not
2,1 have belonged to
• the same gym for the
five years. E^ch year
my gym raises its monthly
dues, and although I enjoy
it and there are many
amenities, the cost each
month is pretty steep. Now
a new gym has come to the
area, and several mem-
bers of my gym are cancel-
ing their membership and
heading to the new gym
because its monthly dues
are cheaper for what seem
to be the same amenities.
How do YOU make a deci-
sion on which gym is bet-
ter than another?
A, Competition between
• fitness facilities for
members is apparent in
most cities. The arrival of a
shiny new club in lown
appeals to potential mem-
bers and members of other
facilities who may be look-
ing for a change. Determin-
ing the right one for you will
depend on what is important
to you in a fitness facility.
There must be something
about your current gym that
you enjoy to have stayed a
member for five years and
paid the member dues even
as they increa,sed. The over-
all gym environment, class-
es and programs offered,
other members who belong
to the gym. child care, secu-
rity, cost, distance from
your home or work, and
knowledge and education of
the staff are all reasons why
someone may join or stay at
a fitness facility. These rea-
sons vary by person and are
personal to the needs and
wants of the member.
You can begin to decide if
this new facility is worth
leaving your current gym
for by making a list of what
is important to you and why
you joined your gym in the
first place. Once you have
completed your list, make
another list of what the new
gym will offer, and compare
them. If you find that what
you enjoy most in your cur-
rent gym will not be offered
in the new gym, then this
should help with your deci-
sion. If your list comes out
even, then the deciding fac-
tor may come when you
actually visit the new club
and see how you feel upon
entering it.
Everyone has a different
perception of what a "good"
gym is. so you will have to
check it out for yourself.
Many new facilities, and
even older ones if you ask,
will offer a one-day or tem-
porary guest pass for you to
try out the gym for free. If
this is available, take advan-
tage of this pass and use the
gym to see how comfortable
you are with the staff, other
members, classes and the
overall environment.
Speak with the sales staff
about membership options,
enrollment dues and guest
passes for family and friends.
Take a lour of the facility and
ask questions. Observe or
speak with staff members
and U'ainers to get an idea if
this will be the place for you.
Check out the children's
area, group exercise rooms,
locker rooms and any other
amenities available.
Choosing a fitness facility
is a personal decision, which
is why there are so many
gyms throughout the coun-
try. If you have found a place
where you are comfortable
and able to workout effec-
tively, do not feel pressured
to change. Take your time
and find the best fit for you.
Always consult a physi-
cian before beginning an
exercise program.

ARE YOU PARTIAL TO DENTURES?
Some patients with missing teeth. Using proven state-of-
teeth have neither enough re-
maining (or properly posi-
tioned) teeth for a bridge nor
sufficient bone for implants. In
such cases, a removable partial
denture may replace the miss-
ing teeth. Partial dentures are
composed of a cast metal base
with clasping metal "arms,"
which hold the denture in
place. Pink plastic is baked
over the metal to lend the ap-
pearance of gum tissue. Porce-
lain teeth are then set into the
pink gum plastic to replace the
missing teeth. The base of the
partial denture rests lightly on
gum tissue, which will change
over time. To ensure a proper
fit, therefore, it is necessary to
visit the dentist at regular in-
tervals for modification to the
denture base.
Dentures can be an afford-
able and time-effective solu-
tion for one or more missing
the-art technology to enhance
your experience, we maintain
the most advanced procedures
and equipment available to en-
sure that every patient achieves
a healthy and beautiful smile.
We emphasize preventive,
functional, and cosmetic dental
care for all ages. Teeth are
meant to last for a lifetime.
They will take care of you, if
you take care of them. We in-
vite you to call 617-479-6220
to schedule an appointment.
Our office is located at 44
Greenleaf Street. We offer the
services of anesthesiology with
a fully trained and qualified an-
esthesiologist. Visit us on the
web at
www.quincydentist.com.
P.S. Because dentures, like
teeth, are subject to accumula-
tions of bacteria-laden plaque,
they must be cleaned daily, like
natural teeth.

Beyond Barbecue: The Summer Tapas Trend
(ARA) - Summer is syn-
onymous with outdoor pic-
nics, barbecues and enter-
taining family and friends.
This year, instead of grilling
up the same barbecue
staples, experiment with
tapas-style recipes that are
light and sensible and em-
brace the flavors of the sea-
son. Your guests will sure be
satisfied by these, small,
tasty and distinctive food
choices,
Tapas, which originated
in Spain, is the name for a
variety of appetizers or small
plates of food, such as olives
and cheese, seafood such as
squid, empanadas, fried po-
tatoes and omelets. Since ar-
riving in the United States,
the tapas trend has evolved
into an entire cuisine. In fact,
now there are a variety of
ethnic small plate servings
beyond tapas, which include
meze, from the Mediterra-
nean, and dim sum and sushi
from Asia.
Preparing meals tapas-
style is ideal when entertain-
ing because you can offer
yoiu- guests a variety of small
plates that are portion-con-
trolled yet deliciously light
and sensible for the summer.
Try these mouth-watering
alternatives at your next
gathering.
IVaditional: Hamburgers
and Hotdogs
Tapas-style: Mini Turkey
Meatballs
Turkey meatballs are a
great choice for small plates
and let guests have a protein
option that is more sensible
than fatty hamburgers and
hotdogs. Cook some in your
favorite lightly-flavored
sauce and place between
three and five on a plate. Bon
appetit!
IVaditional: Fruit Bowl
Salad
Tapas-style: Individual
Grilled Fruit Skewers
During sunmier, grocery
stores and farmer's markets
are bursting with nature's
bounty of sweet fruit. Go
tapas-style and separate your
favorite fruit selections on
individual fruit skewers. For
a unique taste, set fruit ka-
bobs on the grill for several
minutes and let the heat bring
out the sweet flavor.
Ti-aditlonal: Pizza
Tapas-style: Mini Pizza
Good tapas embrace light
portions and variety. Every-
one loves pizza so go tapas-

vegetables including mush-

lYtiditional: Sandwiches
Tapas-style: Tea Sand-
wiches
Tea sandwiches are pre-
pared sandwiches that are
small enough to be eaten in
two or three bites. Most are
made from traditional white
or wheat bread and are filled
with a variety of savory
cheese and meats. Start by
making full sandwiches and
removing the crusts. Cut
each into four triangle
pieces. For a fun summer
theme, use flower or animal
shaped cookie cutters to cut
out tea sandwich shapes.
Traditional: Chocolate
Cake
Tapas-style: Yogurts or
Chocolate Candies
Individually packaged
yogurts or chocolate candies
are a perfect dessert option
for a tapas party instead of a
high fat chocolate cake.
Weight Watchers yogurts, for
example, come in a variety
of indulgent flavors includ-
ing amaretto cheesecake,
Boston cream pie and cherry
cheesecake, so guests can
choose their favorite for a
cool summer treat. Another
option is to serve is Weight
Watchers chocolate candies
including the new Peanut
Butter Cups or Chocolate
Mousse candies, imwrapped
and displayed on a beautiful

Michael LeBel, Ricky Salvucci
And Teddy Walsh On New Paths
QHS Trio Leaves
Distinguished
Mark On, Off Field
By SEAN BRENNAN
This fall when the new
school year begins at Quincy
High School and students
start to prepare for the up-
coming academic year and
fall sports season, three of
the most distinguished Presi-
dents to ever compete on the
athletic fields and in the
classroom will be beginning
the next phase in their aca-
demic and athletic careers.
Michael LeBel, Ricky
Salvucci and Teddy Walsh
graduated from QHS in June,
but the legacies that all three
have left will be remembered
for years to come. Not only
did all three star in and pro-
duce in a combined four var-
sity sports (football, golf, ice
hockey & baseball), but all
three were standouts in the
classroom as well.
For LeBel and Salvucci,
the college experience will
begin in September. LeBel
will be heading down to the
University of Rhode Island
to study business and play
baseball for the Rams, while
Salvucci will be beginning
his college career at North-
eastern University in Boston
with a concentration in en-
gineering.
Walsh is planning on tak-
ing a year to play junior
hockey for the Bay State
Breakers of the Eastern Jun-
ior Hockey League before
starting the next step of his
academic career in the fall of
2009.
Before we get to the nu-
merous achievements that
these three accomplished
playing high school sports,
of which there are many;
their real accompHshments-
in the high school sense-took
place within the halls and
classrooms of QHS.
LeBel was a member of
the exclusive National
Honor Society (NHS) since
the 10"" grade, earned Dis-
tinction Honor Roll status all
four years, was awarded the
President's Award for Aca-
demic Achievement (silver)
his senior year and was a
member of the Museum of
Fine Arts Docent Program
and the QHS Career and
Technical Advisory Board.
LeBel will be attending
the University of Rhode Is-
land on a partial baseball
scholarship. He is planning
on majoring in Business.
Salvucci graduated #6 out
of his graduating class of 364
with a GPA of 4.249. He
earned Distinction Honor
Roll status all four years, was
a member of the NHS
throughout high school and
was the NHS President his
senior year and was a Peer
Educator during his final
three years at QHS.
He also was a Museum of
Fine Arts Docent, a member
of the Student Council, a
D.A.R.E. counselor and the
recipient of six Quincy
scholarships for incoming
college students.
Gerald Grindlay Memorial
Fund Annual Trip
To McCoy Stadium, Aug. 2
The Gerald Grindlay Me-
morial Fund will be running
its sixth annual trip to see the
Pawtucket Red Sox at
McCoy Stadium in
Pawtucket, RI.
This year's trip will be on
Saturday (August 2) to see
the PawSox take on the
Scranton Yankees. Tickets
are $35 and includes game
admission and an all-you-
can eat BBQ.
The BBQ runs from 4
p.m. to 6 .m. with the game
scheduled to begin at 6:05
p.m.
In addition, at this game,
the PawSox are giving away
Dustin Pedroia Bobbleheads
to children age 14 and under.
Watching a game at
Pawtucket is a fun time for
all ages and a nice alterna-
tive for those who can't
make it to Fenway Park this
sunmier.
All proceeds benefit the
Gerald Grindlay Memorial
Fund. Over the past few
years the proceeds have been
used to donate tickets to the
Big Brothers Association for
their members to attend the
game and to fund book
awards for local students en-
tering private high schools.
If you would like to attend
the game on August 2 or
have any questions about the
memorial fund, call Michael
Grindlay at 617-823-3047 or
Catherine Grindlay at 617-
293-8417.
MICHAEL LeBEL
Salvucci will be attending
Northeastern U. as a recipi-
ent of a Merit of Academic
Excellence Scholarship (4
years). His college focus will
be in the field of Chemical
and Material Engineering.
Walsh graduated #19 out
of the graduating class of 364
with a GPA of 4.0. He was a
member of the NHS since his
sophomore year and earned
High Honor/Distinction all
four years.
He was awarded the Foot-
ball Academic Award for the
highest GPA from freshman
to senior year, was the recipi-
ent of the William Dunn, Jr.,
Scholarship Award and the
John Bogan Scholarship
Award and was on the staff
of the QHS newspaper dur-
ing his junior and senior
years.
For their entire academic
prowess, LeBel, Salvucci
and Walsh were just as deco-
rated and accomplished on
the playing fields.
LeBel was four-year
member of the QHS golf
team and co-captain his se-
nior year. He played hockey
in 9'\ 11"^ and IT^ grade,
winning the Atlantic Coast
League Sportsmanship
Award and the QHS Pride
Award this past winter.
But his best sport was
baseball. LeBel, a four-year
varsity player, was team cap-
tain this past year and was an
ACL All-Star during his jun-
ior and senior years. He was
also a member of Quincy
Legion.
Salvucci was also a four-
year member of the QHS
golf team and co-captain his
senior year. He earned ACL
All-Star status last fall and
was the recipient of the Ed-
ward V. Cossenboom Award.
Salvucci also earned the
ACL Sportsmanship Award
during his junior and senior
campaigns and participated
in the ACL All-Star Tourna-
ment his sophomore, junior
and senior seasons.
He was a three-year starter
on the QHS baseball team,
winning the QHS Scholar
Athlete award three times
and the Varsity Team Rookie
of the Year as a sophomore.
Salvucci finished his base-
ball career on a high note; he
was named to the ACL All-
Star team and finished the
year with a .431 batting av-

mencement in June, left their marks academically and athletically during their four years at the
high school.
erage. He will play on the
Fall Roster Baseball Squad
at Northeastern U.
Walsh was a two-year var-
sity starter and team captain
for the QHS football team.
He was a four-year starter
and a three-year captain for
the QHS hockey team, fin-
ishing his high school career
with 103 points and by be-
ing named to the ACL All-
Star team three times and he
finished in the top-3 in scor-
ing in the ACL his junior and
senior seasons.
He was also a three-year
starter and captain of the
baseball team this spring and
earned ACL All-Star honors
this season.
For Mike Draicchio, head
baseball coach at QHS, these
three epitomize what he and
every other coach and
teacher at QHS hope student-
athletes become during their
time as Presidents.
"These three always
brought a no-nonsense ap-
proach to practice and
games," he said. "They were
never out- worked on the dia-
mond and all three took their
responsibilities as team cap-
tains very seriously. But it
wasn't just that they are all
great athletes - which they
are - but it was the way that
they went about their jobs in
the classroom as well.
"They all took that respon-
sibility of playing sports all
year long and extended it to
their school work. All of
them graduated as some of
the best and brightest, and
they should all do very well
in college.
"But when it came to play-
ing baseball, without these
three in the lineup we would
not have been a state tourna-
ment team two out of the last
three years. They held our
team together and made it
that much more enjoyable to
coach. Their leadership will
be impossible to replace."
For LeBel, Salvucci and
Walsh, the chance to repre-
sent Quincy High School and
each other is what drove
them to be the best in both
venues and helped to form a
friendship that will last long
after these high school
memories fade away.
" I loved playing with
these two during the baseball
season and with Mike during
hockey season," said Walsh
last week at Adams Field.
"My best memories were
traveling or playing against
teams from different leagues.
Quincy kind of has a rep as a
tough city with tough kids
and when we played other
towns with that attitude it
was always sweet when we
won.
"We will always remain
friends, but playing sports
and going to school with
them is what I'll remember
most."
Added Salvucci: "Playing
with Ted and Mike was great.
They are good friends and it
made it that much easier if I
struck out or had a bad in-
ning because they were al-
ways there to pick me up.
"Both of them always
played their hearts out and I
think we all pushed each
other to be the best we could
be. They always had my
back either playing golf or
playing baseball."
LeBel said, "1 have known
Ricky since 6"" grade and it
was actually Teddy who
brought me back to hockey
(LeBel did not play his
sophomore year). Both of
them inspire me and have
always pushed me to become
a better athlete and friend.
"We did some great things
together in our four years at
QHS and finishing up our
time together playing base-
ball was a good way to end
it."
All three agreed that high
school sports brought them
closer and the friendly com-
petition in the classroom
made them more well-
rounded students, but all
three are also ready to move
forward and discover what
lies ahead.
When asked if they will
miss the Quincy High School
experience, a second of si-
lence was followed by three
sly smiles, and this response
from Walsh:
"I think we were all ready
to graduate and move
on. ..but driving by the
school and knowing that we
won't be going back kind of
bums you out."
The guess here is that all
the teachers, coaches and
classmates who had the
privilege of knowing LeBel,
Salvucci and Walsh during
the last four years at QHS
share that same sentiment.

A Job Well Done
On Friday, July 18, 2008, Liquor Inspector/Lieutenant
Peter Turowski received a call from a parent informing
him that she had to take her 14 year old daughter to Quincy
Medical Center the day be
fore for alcohol poisoning.
The mother was very up-
set and wanted to help the
Police catch the person who
purchased the alcohol for her
daughter. She stated one of
her daughter's friends knew
of a man who has been buy-
ing alcohol for underage chil-
dren in the Wollaston area.
She added many kids would
telephone this man to place
an order for alcohol and meet
him later.
A call was made and the man, riding a bicycle, deliv-
ered the alcohol to the Mass Fields playground on Willet
Street. The parent provided the first name and telephone
number of the suspect, along with his description - 50 years
old and always wearing a baseball cap. In this case, the
suspect arrived 1 5 minutes after the call with the two pints
of vodka that he handed over to the two girls at approxi-
mately 4 p.m. on the 1 7th.
The parent said she learned of this after she went look-
ing for her 14-year-old daughter around 7 p.m. and found
her at the playground semi-conscious. She immediately
took her to Quincy Medical Center, where she was diag-
nosed with alcohol poisoning.
Lieutenant Turowski then went to Supreme Liquors and
inquired about the suspect on the bicycle. The clerk said
he was aware of the person but not as a suspect, although
he did add that the suspect had said that kids are always
asking him to purchase alcohol but he wouldn't because
he was already barred from Wollaston Wine for buying
for underage kids. Lieutenant Turowski confirmed this
with Wollaston Wine management.
On Monday, July 2 1 , 2008, at approximately 7:30 p.m..
Lieutenant Turowski met with Officer David Coletti, the
Community Policing Officer in Wollaston and updated him
on the suspect. With the assistance of a 19 year old fe-
male, a call was made to the suspect and she placed an
order for alcohol and told him to bring it to the Mass. Fields
Park. The suspect said that he couldn't meet there because
there were too many Police Officers checking the area lately
(which was true).
The suspect said he would meet her behind Friendlys
Ice Cream Restaurant in a half hour. Detective Rick Wash
and Officer Dave Coletti joined in the surveillance. After
a half hour passed, the female called the suspect again and
he asked her what kind of alcohol she wanted and that
there would be a $5.00 fee. She told him that she wanted
vodka. The suspect arrived a few minutes later and the
female handed him a ten-dollar bill, that was marked and
the serial number noted.
The suspect took the order and the ten dollars and rode
off, returning minutes later. He gave the female a bag and
she looked inside, confirmed it was vodka, and then gave
a prearranged signal to the Officers, who approached the
suspect. The suspect, a 48 year old Quincy resident, was
placed under arrest for '"Procuring Alcohol for a Minor."
The suspect had $5.62 in his front pocket.
Lieutenant Turowski and Officer Coletti went to Su-
preme Liquors, which is two blocks away and spoke with
the clerk, who confirmed that the suspect was just in the
store and purchased the vodka. The clerk also returned
the marked ten-dollar bill and even gave the receipt from
the purchase that the suspect left behind. The receipt was
for $4.38, combined with the money on the suspect equaled
ten dollars.
Nice Work!
In this case, it was the effort of a concerned citizen/
parent that helped us focus on the suspect and prevent an-
other incident of alcohol poisonmg, or worse, from occur-
ring again. According to sources, this suspect actually had
a book of clients and had been doing this for months. The
Quincy Police Department would like to thank the parent
who provided the solid information that led to this arrest.
We would also like to thank Supreme Liquors for their
assistance and cooperation in piecing this case together.
Wollaston Wine should also be recognized for their re-
fusal to allow the suspect in their establishment.
This is just another example of the community work-
ing with Quincy PoUce Officers for the betterment of all.
When citizens provide information about past, present or
future crimes, as well as suspicious behavior, no matter
how insignificant it may seem, it helps the Officers take
the necessary actions to keep the streets safe! Lieutenant
Turowski can be reached at (617) 745 5778.

Stars
ARIES (March 21 to April
19) With new facts to work
with, you should feel more
confident in moving ahead.
But continue to do so at an
unhurried pace so you can
spot details you might other-
wise miss.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) Taking on that new work-
place project could be one of
your smarter career moves.
Expect a surprising show of
support from someone who
had always been a critic.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) You might feel you're too
busy to undertake a new
responsibility. But check it
out before making any deci-
sions. What you learn could
persuade you to change your
mind.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) You feel quite content
enjoying all the comforts of
home right now. But the urge
to travel grows stronger, and
by week's end, you could
begin packing your bags.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
A hectic period begins to
ease up, but that doesn't
mean the Fine Feline can do
much catnapping these days.
You need to finish those old
tasks and prepare for new
ones.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) Expect to get
some good news about your
financial situation by week's
end. But it could still be too
early to rush out with a long
shopping list of things to buy.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Your manage-
ment skills make an impres-
sion on some workplace VlPs
who might be looking for
someone like you to take on
an upcoming project. Good
luck.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Meeting a for-
mer adversary might be
unsettling at first. But time
has .softened hard feelings,
and you could be on the brink
of starting a new relationship.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21) A
troubling situation close to
home might cause you to
change your travel plans. But
getting all the facts before
you act might cause you to
reconsider.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) You might
be quite alone right now in
deciding 10 support a major
workplace shift. But others
will join you as new informa-
tion supports your bold
move.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) A former co-
worker returns with news that
could persuade you to
reassess recently made plans.
Be sure to consult with a
trusted colleague before you
act.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Your motives
behind, a recent decision
could be called into question
by a rival. But once you pre-
sent the facts, all doubts will
be resolved. Enjoy an arts-
rich weekend.
BORN THIS WEEK:
While you love being the
center of attention, your gen-
erous heart allows you to
share the attention with oth-
ers.

"Never put off until tomorrow what you can
do today," is a good old maxim; you will find
it is a reliable rule to follow, and by closely
adhering to it you will be saved a great deal of
trouble, sorrow and regret
DO IT NOW!
"If you have a task worth doing, Do it now!
In delay there's danger brewing, Do it now!
Don't be a 'by and buyer"
And a sluggish patience-trier;
If there's aught you would acquire, Do it now!
If you'd earn a prize worth owning, Do it now!
Drop all waiting and postponing, Do it now!
Say "I will" and then stick to it. Choose your purpose and pursue it
There's but one right way to do it
Do it Now!
All we have is just this minute.
Do it now!
Find your duty and begin it.
Do it now!
Surely you're not always going to be "a going-to-be"; and knowing
You must some time make a showing.
Do it now! ... *

^Christmas In July',
Red Hat Luncheon
Beechwood Center Finale
By LAURA GRIFFIN
It's hats off Thursday
(today) to the staff and
teachers at Beechwood
Community Center as the
Red Hat Society luncheon
serves as the last hurrah for
Beechwood.
The event ends a 28-year
run for the private non-profit
agency which offered inter-
generational services ranging
from daycare for infants to
forums for senior citizens.
For the past 14 years,
Beechwood operated at the
former Myles Standish
School at 440 East Squantum
St., North Quincy, and,
before that, at the then-closed
Beechwood Knoll School on
Fenno Street.
On Friday, the City of
Quincy officially reclaims
the former school building
which wil' be renovated for
the city's Elder Services
administrative offices and a
city wide Senior Center.
What the future center will
offer is something of a
mystery for the city's seniors
whose official farewell to
Beechwood and its staff
began a week ago with a
"Christmas In July"
luncheon.
"We're making one more
Beechwood memory,"
Executive Director Sharron
Beals told the 40 guests who
gathered for at tables dressed
in green and red cloths with
centerpieces of stuffed Santas
and penguins and snowmen.
In true holiday spirit,
pianist Louise Swanson, 92,
played "Jingle Bells" as 26
toddlers paraded through the
dining area. They are the last
of the pre-school students at
the center which has offered
camps, classes and daycare
for thousands of youngsters
in the past decades.
The three and four-year
old youngsters charmed their
elders as they sang along,
counted in Chinese and then
chanted, "The Barney Song"
with the lyrics, "I love you.
You love me. "
From the decorated
evergreen and the garland to
the red elf hats worn by
guests, the occasion had all
the trappings of Christmas
except there was thunder and
torrential rains outside and
melancholy memories of
years past within.
Beals offered a present of
a china teacup to each guest.
She recalled her first days at
Beechwood when she saw
seniors drinking tea from
foam cups.
Beals decided that
wouldn't do and decided to
find teacups for the senior
program. Then Beals enlisted

resident, worked at the Fore River Shipyard during World War
II. In the background are guests in red elf hats and the decorated

the help of The Quincy Sun
and the staff at the now
defunct WJDA.
As a result of the publicity,
Beal s said dozens and dozens
of individuals donated bone
china cups and saucers to the
center.
One woman gave Beals
five cups and saucers saying
she was thrilled to be done
with them, "She and her sister
had been fighting over them
for years."
Beals public thanked Sun
Pubhsher Henry Bosworth
and the city's mayors from
Arthur Tobin and Frank
McCauley, to James Sheets
and Bill Phelan for their
support.
Maryann Mahony, the
center's Elder Director for
the past five years, told the
diners, "I've enjoyed every
minute with you. We' ve done
a lot in five years. You've
been my extended family."
Tops on Mahony 's list of
volunteers was her husband,
John "Mo" Mahony. She
praised others who made
luncheon and senior activities
at the center easier. Among
those she named were Ruth
Matthews, Gert Smart,
Lillian DePaulo, Lee Cronsis,
and Ruth Dolobe.
Mahony who has been
active politically in North
Quincy for many years, said
she'll finally take up piano
lessons and look for a new
job, "I'll be pounding the
pavement."
With just days until
closing, staff members
described their plans and
feeling to Beechwood
Program Coordinator Aly son
Ryan.
"I am a working mom of
three," said Ryan, adding,
"All three of my children
have been enrolled at
Beechwood. I am losing my
job, my childcare and the
wonderful friends I work
with."
Ryan expects to return to
school and hopes "that
someday I can find work that
means as much to me as my
work at Beechwood."
Preschool Director
Sharon Fayette said she will
look for work in the Early
Childhood field while office
manager Fran Shields will
play with her grandsons
before looking for a new job.
Nancy Randall will
continue the seniors' "Walk
of Ages" group as she has for
28 years.
Bob Melpignano will
continue teaching guitar as
he has for 20 years, and Eniko
Koyne, Beechwood piano
teacher for 19 years, will
continue to teach piano.
Koyne recalled that she
met her husband, the father
of her three children, at
Beechwood, "It has been my
family."
In 1981 after Proposition
2 1 /2 passed, the Beechwood
Knoll School was designated
for closure. Dr. Cecil Paul
developed a plan to use the
empty school to benefit the
community.
As a result, the
Beechwood Community
Center was founded in 1981
by Paul, who with Donald
Strong and Janet Powell

Kerry Warns Obama:
'Don't Let Lies Stand'
By TOM HENSHAW
Sen. John Kerry has
some advice for Barak
Obama's campaign team
— Hes have to be answered
swiftly and decisively.
"I thought we did
enough," said the unsuc-
cessful 2004 Democratic
presidential nominee, "We
miscalculated. You can't
allow a lie to sit there."
Kerry was talking about
a new book, "The Obama
Nation," by Jerome Corsi,
the same author whose pre-
vious literary efforts in-
spired the Swift Boat Vet-
erans for Truth to attack
him four years ago.
Some see "The Obama
Nation" as the opening gun
in an attack on Obama, the
presumed Democratic can-
didate in 2008, by a group
similar to the Swift Boat
people.
"If I were not a public
figure," said Kerry, "I
would have sued him
(Corsi). He wrote page af-
ter page of lies. The oppo-
sition was spreading those
lies.
"We thought the truth
was out there. The Wall
Street Journal, the New
York Times, the Chicago
Tribune, the Boston Globe,
even the Navy, looked at it
and told the truth.
"We thought the truth
would stand by itself. We
miscalculated."
In a wide-ranging inter-
view with The Quincy Sun
Tuesday Kerry said he felt
it was a mistake for Demo-
cratic candidates to ignore
the right-leaning Fox News
Channel.
"I make it a point to
watch to all the channels,"
he said. "I've been on with
Chris Wallace. I've done
the Sean Hannity show and
Bill O'Reilly's show.
"Bill O'Reilly is a friend
of mine. He'll work to be
fair. He deals with facts.
He's a tough guy but he
deals with facts."
Kerry said he is as much
it comes to guessing
Obama's choice for vice
president.
"Sure, I could give you
some names to kick around,"
he said. "But let's wait and
see what happens. If I started
throwing names around it
would just get people
started."
Is Hillary Clinton still in
the nmning? "A very compe-
tent lady," but who knows?
Would he himself take a vice
presidential slot with
Obama? "I'm not interested."
The three overriding is-
sues of the current campaign
are ( 1 ) Jobs and the economy,
Actually, neither Obama
nor McCain have been
nominated by their respec-
tive parities and won't be
until the Democratic con-
vention later this month
and the Republican con-
vention in September.
The superdelegates to
the Democratic convention
in Denver, and Kerry is
one, are not legally com-
mitted to cast their ballots
for Obama, although such
defections are unlikely.
"Obama is a terrific can-
didate," said Kerry. "I sup-
ported him early in the race
and so did Ted Kennedy."

The presidential race be-
tween Obama and Republi-
can John McCain will be a

cratic primary in Septem-

Whatever, there'll be
little if any change in the

whether or not I have an |
opponent. The citizens j
have that right." j
Appointed School Dept.
Human Resources Head
Mulvey Resigns
Seat For School
Director Post
Kevin Mulvey has re-
signed from the School Com-
mittee and began his new
duties this week as Director
of Human Resources for the
School Department.
Mulvey was appointed
last Tuesday by School Supt.
Dr. Richard DeCristofaro
from a field of five candi-
dates.
He succeeds Tom Walsh
who is retiring but is staying
on to assist Mulvey in the
transition.
Mulvey, an attorney, had
a year and a half left on his
four-year first term. A Joint
Convention of the School
Committee and City Council
will elect his successor.
"I loved serving on the
School Committee," Mulvey
told The Sun Tuesday. "But
this was an opportunity I just
couldn't pass up. It's a chal-
lenge and a career change
that I am looking forward
to."
School Committee Vice
Chairman David McCarthy
praised the selection of
KEVIN MULVEY
Mulvey.
"A great choice,"
McCarthy said. "We hate to
lose him as a member of the
School Committee but he
will be a great asset to the
School Department and the
right successor to Tom Walsh
who has done an outstanding
job.
"Kevin has the legal back-
ground, is methodical, he bs-
tens and is well-qualified to
do a very good job for the
School Department."
Mulvey 's successor on the
School Committee will be
selected at a Joint Conven-
tion of the City Council and
School Committee to be
called by Mayor Thomas
Koch who is also chairman
of the School Committee. No
date has been set yet.
It will be the second Joint
Convention this year.
Nick Puleo was elected at
a Joint Convention in Febru-
ary to succeed James
Timmins who was appointed
City Solicitor by Koch.
Puleo was runner-up in
last year's city election with
a vote of 7,296 to third place
winner Elaine Dwyer's
10,897.
Puleo carried the Joint
Convention over Karl Roos,
a budget analyst and Robert
Haley, Hanover town trea-
surer.
Eileen Mullen who fin-
ished fifth with a vote of
7, 1 36 did not compete for the
Timmins seat in the Joint
Convention.
The new convention will
be open to any resident over
18 years of age.

Don't Forget Sales
Tax Holiday Aug. 16, 17
City residents can enjoy a
tax-free weekend for the fifth
consecutive year, thanks to a
bill approved by the state
senate and house and signed
last week by Governor Deval
Patrick.
The two-day summer
sales tax holiday is effective
Saturday, Aug. 16 and
Sunday, Aug. 1 7 and applies
to items costing $2500 or less.
"I am glad we can provide
people with this small break
in time for back-to-school
purchases," Patrick said,
adding "We hope it
stimulates all sorts of sales
activities during what is
otherwise a slow time of
year."
"This law is good news
for buyers and sellers alike,
giving a break to consumers
when they really need it and
a shot in the arm to retailers
during the traditionally slow
sales period." said House
Speaker Salvatore DiMasi,
Boston.
"It's important to be
consistent and preserve our
trust with taxpayers by
providing another sales tax
holiday this year," Senate
President Therese Murray
said.
"A sales-free tax-free

weekend will be welcomed
more than ever in this tough
economy, especially with the
high prices of food and fuel.
The relatively small sacrifice
in state revenue is worthwhile
when you consider the
positive impact on consumer
confidence and taxpayers'
wallets."
As in previous years, sales
of telecommunications
services, tobacco products,
gas, steam, electricity, motor
vehicles, motorboats, meals
and items priced over $2,500
are excempt from the holiday
and remain subject to the
sales tax.
Massachusetts joins more
than a dozen state in granting
a sales tax holiday this year,
according to the Federation
of Tax Administrators.
"The sales tax holiday
weekend is a highly effective
way to stimulate economic
activity and couldn't come at
a better time for the retailing
community," said Jon Hurst,
president of the Retailers
Association of MA.

Community Leaders Help
QMC Plan Cancer Walk
A growing group of com-
munity leaders is hard at work
helping to organize the
Quincy Medical Center Can-
cer Walk.
"Last year was a tremen-
dous event and we're happy
to say more people are offer-
ing their help this year as we
plan our 11th Walk," said
Robert (Bob) Curry, owner
of Curry ACE Hardware,
chair of the QMC Board and
one of the founders of the
Walk.
The committee has
doubled in size from 25 to 50
members from all sectors of
the community.
The Quincy Medical Cen-
ter Cancer Walk is sched-
uled for Sunday, Sept. 28th
and is a four-mile seaside
walk. This year the Walk
Conmiittee is working to in-
crease the number of events
and activities during and af-
ter the Walk including host-
ing the Child Identification
Program (CHIP), health and
wellness activities and lots
of family fun along with free
refreshments.
The Quincy Pohce De-
partment and many other law
enforcement agencies will
hold a community safety fair.
Organizers also are directing
a major effort to engage the
Asian conmiunity in Quincy
as well.

In 1995, the Curry Fam-
ily estabUshed the Marie A.
Curry Fund at Quincy Medi-
cal Center (QMC) as a last-
ing, living memorial to their
wife and mother who died of
breast cancer. Marie's fam-
ily and the City of Quincy's
Mayor's Commission on
Women joined together in
1998 to create a walk to sup-
port the Curry Fund.
Now in its 1 1th year, the
QMC Cancer Walk supports
the Fund's mission to pro-
mote the early detection and
prevention of a wide range
of cancers. Resources are
used to ensure that women
and men in our community
who have the need can ac-
cess free and potentially Ufe-
saving cancer screenings, to
purchase state-of-the-art
medical equipment to detect
cancer, and to fund cancer
education programs for
caregivers.
Nearly $1.5-minion has
been raised for the Curry
Fund since its inception.

Decline In Membership
Beth Israel Closing ^An Historic Loss'
By TOM HENSHAW
"I heard they hadn't had a
minyan in two years," said
Irving Isaacson, describing
the 10-man minimum for an
Orthodox Jewish service.
"People are just not going to
synagogue anymore."
Isaacson, a 50-year
former member now living in
Randolph, was tracing the
demise of Temple Beth Is-
rael, the 90-year-old syna-
gogue on Grafton Street,
Quincy Point, which closed
its doors to worshippeits last
week.
Beth Israel President
Harold Krasnoff of Hull, who
announced the closing, de-
clined to estimate the mem-
bership but Marilyn
Reisberg, a member for 61
years, said 20 or 30 members
"is a lot."
"We'll all miss it. I'm
sorry to see it go," said
Isaacson, who left the syna-
gogue five years ago and
moved into senior housing in
Randolph.
"It's an historic loss," said
Dr. Abraham Mann, the son
of the temple's rabbi, Jacob
Mann, who served for more
than 60 years until his retire-
ment in 2003. He died in
Jerusalem in 2005.
Dr. Mann grew up in
Quincy, attending the Daniel
Webster School and playing
ball in the field behind the
synagogue but he left Quincy
46 years ago and now lives
in New York.
"Closing a synagogue is a
terribly moving experience,"
he said. "It's a sad day for the
Jewish conmiunity that re-
mains in Quincy. It's sad but
it's the reality.
TWO SONS OF RABBI Jacob Mann, longtime spiritual leader
of Beth Israel Synagogue, attended the dedication of Rabbi
Mann Square on Grafton Street in 2005. Rabbi Dr. Abraham
Mann (left) and Dr. Rabbi Jonah Mann read the inscription on
the plaque. Quincy Sun photo/Robert Noble

she got married in Temple

gation was so large that
"there was standing room
only for Yom Kippur ser-
vices."
"I knew it was coming for
over a year," she said. "It was
a congregation in demise
starting 15 years ago. It has
been closed all winter.
"I'm 80 years old and I
don't known how much
longer I'll be around. Most
members of the congregation
are well over 65."

Welcome To Quin-zee
There are probably a lot of people in Quincy these
days wondering-why.
Why we pronounce it Quin-zee instead of Quin-cee.
They are mostly tourists from out-of-state flocking
to Quincy this year, thanks largely to the HBO mini-
series "John Adams" based on David McCullough's
Pulitzer Prize winning biography.
Some 15 or so other Quincys in the U.S. pronounce
it Quin-cee. Including our sister city, Quincy, 111.
Are they right and we're wrong?
No.
Being the first Quincy in the U.S. there's a good rea-
son why we say Quin-zee and not Quin-cee.
That was the way the man for whom Quincy is
named-Col. John Quincy-pronounced it back in Colo-
nial days. As did the family.
He was the great grandfather of President John
Quincy Adams, also named for him.
Many visitors think Quincy was named for the sixth
president. In fact there are some right here who think
so.
If some of the early settlers had their way, it wouldn't
be Quincy at all. It would have been the town-and now-
city of Hancock.
They wanted the honor to go to native son John
Hancock instead of Boston bom Col. John Quincy.
Hancock was governor of Massachusetts when the Gen-
eral Court passed the act incorporating the North Pre-
cinct of Old Braintree the new town of Quincy Feb. 22,
1 792. Hancock signed it the next day.
But at the first town meeting in May, a petition was
presented to change the name from Quincy to Hancock
inn honor of the first signer of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence.
It touched off a verbal batde but the petition was
shot down. Opponents argued that Hancock was still
alive and that the honor should go to a distinguished
but deceased person.
Colonel Quincy met those requirements. He was both
distinguished and deceased. He had represented Old
Braintree in the General Court from 1717 to 1741-12
of those years as Speaker of the House.
He died in 1 767 at age 77, two days after John Quincy
Adams was bom.
The colonel is the reason we say Quin-zee. But, did
you know the French have a far different pronuncia-
tion?
The late Paul Harold was honored with the William
O'Connell award by the Quincy His-
torical Society in 1984.
And celebrated the occasion by
treating those present to Quincy wine.
He had visited France and arranged
to have two cases of the namesake
Quincy wine imported from the Lx)ire
Valley in France where the Quincy
vineyards are located.
The name Quincy is actually French Harold told
those in attendance as they sipped the wine. And noted
the French don't pronounce it Quin-zee. Not Quin-cee
either.
In France, it's Can-say.
But it will always be Quin-zee to us.
And so we would like to welcome all of you who are
visiting not to Quin-cee, not to Can-say but to Quin-
zee.
Have a great visit.

Glad I'm not the only one that thought that.
"In fact I thought it was disgusting. There are a few
more of them out there. I think they think the public is
so stupid."

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS 1917 real photo postcard shows a steam driven
passenger train approaching the old Wollaston Depot
on the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad's
Old Colony Line. This view north from the Beale Street
bridge shows two waiting taxis. One is horse drawn.
This station was designed in classic 19th century Victo-
rian style; capped with a handsome clock tower com-
plete with a wrought iron weathervane and trimmed in
I ornate iron flligree. Built in 1870, it was originally on
Ithe other side of the tracks. It was known then as the
Wollaston Heights Station and was built to serve the
new suburban community being built atop the hills of
Wollaston. The developers offered one-year free train
service to Boston as an incentive for homebuyers. To
allow for the widening of Newport Avenue in the early
1900's the station was moved to this location. The MBTA
demolished the structure in 1969 to make way for the
present modem Red Line station here now. To contact

A Different Opinion On Beech wood Center Closing
This is response to Jenni- many seniors there for the
fer Logue's article in the luncheon that the City of
Readers Forum on the clos-
ing of Beechwood on the
Bay. She asks what will hap-
pen to the 50 seniors who
come to Beechwood each
day for care and companion-
ship.
Jennifer, have you ever
actually seen 50 seniors be-
Quincy provided, not
Beechwood. Sharron Beals,
the executive director, took
many pictures on those
Thursdays and always had
them displayed in The
Quincy Sun, as if that is what
it was like on any given day.
It was not! Remember, I
done while I still worked at Senior Olympics. They did a
Beechwood. I have been wonderful job this year,
gone close to five years. Why Jennifer, you don't have to
show the roof now? When worry, the parents have all

should kick in for the new
roof.
Now, for the $70,000 per
year to maintain the building !
structors have relocated in
the community, so their stu-
dents won't suffer without
them. The staff will find jobs.
I would have to actually see I am sure. Many are still

I worked in the office for 10
years. There were never more
than 8 to 10 seniors there, and
they were not allowed every

Ms. Beals displayed a sec-

Falco, Mullen Face
^Intensive Interviewing'
For Police Chief's Job
By FRANK McCAULEY
With the retirement of former Police Chief Francis X. Finn
approved by the State Retirement
and Pension Boards, Mayor James
A. Sheets said that he will begin "in-
tensive interviewing" with the two
candidates to succeed Finn next
week.
Sheets said he plans to meet with ■■~-~~"'""'~~'~~^"
Sgt. William Falco and Lt. Francis Mullen for two hours each
next week.
If all goes according to plan. Sheets said he will name the
new chief by Sept. 1 Falco was the top scorer in a Civil Ser-
vice examination while Mullen finished second.
(Editor's note: Mayor Sheets chose Lt. Mullen to fill the
Chief's job. Sgt. Falco, who went on to become a police cap-
tain, was later appointed Chief by Mayor William Phelan.)
REHIRING UNLIKELY, MORE LAY-OFFS LOOM
With the city slated to lose $1.5 million in local aid this
fiscal year. Mayor Sheets said it is unlikely 47 laid-off work-
ers will be rehired this year and it is possible that more em-
ployees will be cut from the payroll next year.
The state legislature voted to reduce local aid by four per-
cent to balance the state budget. With the governor expected
to approve the measure, Quincy's local aid will drop from
$35,535,759 to $34, 100,0(X).
Sheets called the legislature's action "the worst news of
my administration" because it's really the first time the leg-
islature has itself cut local aid.

BY MARIE D'OLIMPIO
Phil's Scalloped Linguine
I was talking to my brother Phil and he
asked me if I wanted to have dinner with him
and my sister-in-law Teresa. 1 told him I was
already preparing dinner.
When he told me he was cooking one of
his favorite dishes, which sounded better
than mine. He said I should come for lunch
the next day to have a taste which 1 did.
So today's recipe is so easy to prepare,
and so delicious.
SCALLOPED LINGUINE
1 pound linguine
1 pound large scallops
1 medium onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1 package fresh mushrooms (cut)
Olive oil for sauteing
grated parmesan cheese for topping
salt and pepper to taste
Start the water for the linguine and cook
according to directions. While they are
cooking, prepare the scallops by cutting them
in fours. Cut the mushrooms. In a large frying
pan, heat the oil, add the garlic and onion and
saut6 for a couple of minutes. Add the
mushrooms, and stir until they are tender.
Add the olives and scallops and cook until
scallops are done.
Drain the pasta and place in the same
frying pan and cook until well blended. Serve
with Parmesan cheese.
I sat there for lunch and even though he
filled a large dish, 1 almost ate the whole
thing.

Sometimes homeowners
get lucky. I just read the nar-
rative of a recent fire incident
report where I'd say luck
played a role in the
homeowners' good fortune.
Once you read it I think
you'll agree. It read:
"Arrived on scene... to
find a reported fire on the
second floor; all occupants
evacuated. Investigated the
report of a smoldering fire in
the rear right bedroom
closet... The cause was de-
termined to be electrical arc-
ing from an extension cord.
The cord supplied power
to a fish tank located on top
of a dresser inside the closet.
The fire started three quarters
down from the top of the
dresser on the right side
where the pump and the light
for the fish tank plugged into
the extension cord. The fire
extended up the right side of
the closet until the heat
cracked the glass in the tank
relieving the tank of water
and knocking the fire into a
smoldering state. Fire service
personnel checked for exten-
sion and evacuated any re-
maining smoke from the
building..."
I've witnessed something
similar once when a soldered
plumbing fitting failed dur-
ing a structure fire and con-
trolled the fire allowing a
young boy to escape a con-
fined area and notify others
to evacuate a building. In
both these instances luck pre-
vailed while in the latter in-
cident a young boy's life was
spared.
Extension cords concern
me and in this instance there
is no indication of its condi-
tion prior to the fire. You
would think that there would
be Uttle mechanical abuse to
it where the cord was isolated
within a closet; the narrative
seems to indicate the fire
started three quarters along
its length towards the floor.
That to me indicates that it
was hanging vertically at the
point of origin where it
failed.
♦Electrical fires were the
third leading cause of fire
deaths in Massachusetts in
2006. 579 electrical fires
caused four civihan deaths.
Some of those fires were a
result of overloaded power
strips and extension cords
and cords frayed due to age
and mechanical damage.
(♦State Fire Marshal
HREFACTORS)
I suggest then that we take
the time to examine the cords
we routinely use in our daily
lives; we equally take them
for granted. Make certain that
they are not overloaded with
excessive appliance usage.
Check for frayed wires and
cracked insulation and re-
place them with new ones
that have a certification label
from an independent testing
laboratory.
Power strips should only
be used with a few low cur-
rent devices such as electron-
ics. Avoid using an extension
cord that is not properly rated
for the appliance it powers.
For instance, a typical "lamp
cord" cannot carry the elec-
trical current needed for ap-
phances such as space heat-
ers or air conditioners. Re-
move extension cords from
underneath rugs, carpets or
furniture where insulation
can be worn causing over-
heating and arcing.
Please take some time in
a proactive effort to keep a
fire safe household. Do not
rely on luck alone. Checking
our extension cords that we
so frequently take for granted
can be a good and valid first
step in fire prevention.
Thank you for doing so.

"It was a great night of

it a tradition," Koch said. "I
want to invite everyone to
stop by. These are the kinds
of events that make our city
special-everyone getting to-
gether to share a few laughs
and relax. And there is no
better place than Pageant
Field for these kinds of com-

tee. Koch has been visiting
community groups and orga-
nizations across the city dur-
ing his first six months in
office, but said he wanted to
get together with as many
people from around the city
in a more informal setting.
"I am looking forward to
seeing a lot of old friends,
and hopefully meeting some
new ones," Koch said. "And
if folks want to talk about
issues in the city, what's bet-
ter than doing it over burgers
and dogs?"

A Job Well Done
On Monday, July 21, 2008, at approximately 4:45 p.m..
Officer Bruce Trieu was walking the beat in Quincy
Square.
As he approached
Brennan's convenience
store, he looked into the
glass window and
witnessed a man holding the
store clerk by his shirt collar
as he dragged him toward
the cash register counter.
The officer saw the victim
trying to fight off the suspect
by punching the suspect nu-
merous times. Even though
the victim was able to punch the suspect in the face, the
suspect maintained a hold on him. Officer Trieu imme-
diately went inside of Brennan's and identified himself
as a Quincy police officer. The clerk/victim screamed,
"He tried to rob me." Officer Trieu immediately placed
the suspect in handcuffs and asked the victim if a weapon
was involved. The victim said no. Officer Trieu
notified Communications of the arrest and requested
a cruiser for transport.
The officer then interviewed the clerk, who said the
suspect came into the store to try to place a bet with
the lottery. He said the machine did not accept the lot-
tery ticket because it was marked incorrectly. When the
clerk tried to show the suspect why his lottery ticket
would not work, the suspect pushed him back
stated, "Give me your money" and then reached over
the counter, opened the cash drawer and tried to grab
the money out of the cash drawer.
The clerk stated he immediately grabbed the suspect
by the hand. The suspect then grabbed him by his
shirt collar and tried to pull him over the counter. The
clerk stated he tried to free himself but was unsuccess-
ful. He was afraid of being pulled over the counter, so
\he started throwing punches to get free. This is when
Officer Trieu witnessed the crime occurring and arrested
the 46-year-old Quincy resident for unarmed robbery.
Nice Work!
ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE
On Friday, July 18, 2008, at approximately 5:45 p.m..
Officer David Zupkof ska was dispatched to the rear of the
Quincy Athletic Club located 100 Quincy Ave. for
a report of a man yelling in an enclosed fenced in area.
Upon arrival. Officer Zupkofska observed a white
male inside the penned in area. Upon seeing the Officer
approaching, the male threw a paper bag over the fence.
Detective Brian Coen, who just arrived, opened the bag
to find an opened one- quart can of Strypeeze
paint stripper. Officer Zupkofska then observed the male/
suspect place a white plastic bag to his face and appeared
to be inhaling. The Officers believed that the suspect
was inhaling toxic vapors.
Officer Zupkofska notified Communications to send
additional Officers due to the difficulty in approaching
the suspect inside a small fenced in area who was quickly
becoming agitated. An ambulance was also dispatched
to the scene.
The officers spoke with the suspect, trying to get him
to come out, but he then armed himself with a
large branch (approx 5' in length, 2" diameter with
a pointed end) and ranted and raved. He then began
pacing back and forth while shouting and slamming
one end of the branch on the ground.
Officers on scene who knew the suspect from a long
history, going back to the late 1980's of inhaling mind
altering chemicals, attempted to speak to him and called
him by his first name. The suspect shouted that was not
his name and gave a false first name.
Sergeant Mark Foley arrived on scene and spoke with
Officer Dennis Keenan, who stated that he was familiar
with the suspect and knew him to be a "buffer", which
is a street term for a person that inhales toxic vapors.
Officer Keenan informed all Officers there that the sus-
pect has an extensive prior criminal record including
violent acts, resisting arrest and assaults on law
enforcement personnel. He added that the suspect
had just been released from prison. Officers continued
attempts to reason with the suspect, who continued to
shout at Officers and ignored verbal commands to
exit the fenced area.
Sergeant Foley approached the gated entrance to
the area, which had a posted sign, "No Trespassing Police
Take Notice". The Offices again observed the
suspect take the white plastic bag and place it over
his mouth and nose while inhahng. Sergeant Foley at-

One Of 10 Still In Running
Anthony Acito Moves On
In TV Musical Reality Show
QC AP First-Time Homebuyer
Workshop Starts Sept. 4
By MIRIAM JOSEPH
Anthony Acito, the
Quincy resident chosen as
one of 12 finalists on ABC
TV's summer reality show
"High School Musical: Get
in the Picture," has survived
the judges' first cut, and is
now one of only 10 teenag-
ers in the running for first
place.
The nationally-televised
TV show, which has been air-
ing on Sunday and Monday
nights, will now broadcast on
Monday evenings only at 8
p.m. and will award one win-
ner the chance to appear in a
music video to run during the
end credits of Disney's fea-
ture film production of "High
School Musical 3: Senior
Year", opening in October.
Seventeen year-old An-
thony, one of the most popu-
lar kids in his senior class at
Quincy High that graduated
in June, appears to still be a
favorite amongst his peers.
Labeled as "a teddy bear,"
who "puts a smile on your
face," during a first-impres-
sion, personality game which
the contestants played with
each other on last Sundays'
show, Anthony seemed to
never stop smihng.
On that episode, as the
group walked through the
actual cafeteria where previ-
ous "High School Musicals"
had been filmed, they were
ANTHONY ACITO
surprised by a visit from the
film's director-choreogra-
pher, Kenny Ortega, who in-
spired the teens to sing "You
Are The Music In Me" as a
group.
Ortega, who will be judg-
ing the finale, pulled each of
them out, individually, to
sing a few bars of the song,
and to give them an opportu-
nity to shine in their own
moment.
And there was a second
surprise announcement on
Sunday's show — the produc-
ers actually invited the final-
ists to be in a crowd scene in
the Disney film. They pro-
vided costumes and make up
for the very special 'extras'
to appear in a basketball
game scene.
Anthony and the other
contestants have been work-
ing hard, and with each other,
on performance skills. The
six-member faculty of the
reality show has been provid-
ing coaching, some intense
dance instruction, and ad-
vice, guidance and pep talks.
But tensions were highest
on Monday night's episode,
where students exercised les-
sons in 'letting go,' and
'coming out of their shells'
by roaming the aisles of a
local K-Mart and singing to
shoppers!
Then the group was di-
vided into trios, and per-
formed a song for the faculty
judges, incorporating har-
mony and musical staging.
Two of the contestants didn't
make the cut, and were des-
ignated to be in the chorus.
In addition to starring in
the music video, the winner
of the competition will also
receive an exclusive talent
hold agreement with ABC
and a recording contract for
two singles with Walt Disney
Records, one of which will
be a version of the song from
the music video.
As long as Anthony re-
mains in the competition, he
can be seen on ABC, Mon-
day nights at 8 p.m.
Quincy Community Ac-
tion Programs (QCAP) will
hold a free three-session First
Time Homebuyer Workshop
in September at the Tufts
Public Library, 46 Broad St.,
Weymouth.
The dates are Thursday,
Sept. 4; Tuesday, Sept. 9 and
Tuesday, Sept. 23. Partici-
pants must attend all three
sessions to receive a certifi-
cate of attendance.
The certificates are pre-
requisites for down payment

vorable soft second and Mass

tration is required.

SALLY OWEN prepares to cut the cake celebrating her 100th
Environmental Treasures tour. It was a surprise party for Owen
how has organized the tours, year-round for the past eight years.
DOZENS OF TRAILBLAZERS enjoyed the first hike through
the city's newly acquired Hazeltine site which abuts Faxon Park.
The 13.5-acre site was purchased under the city's conununity
preservation progrsan.
Trail Cuts Through Hazeltine Parcel
Sally Owen's 100th
Tour A First For
New Open Space
By LAURA GRIFHN
Dozens of hikers cel-
ebrated Sally Owen's 100th
"Environmental Treasures of
Quincy" tour last weekend
after enjoying the first offi-
cial hike at the city's recently
acquired open space, known
as the "Hazeltine" parcel.
Last week's tour was the
first time the roughly mile-
long trail cut through the
Hazeltine site had been tra-
versed.
The 13-acre property abut-
ting Faxon Park was pur-
chased less than a year ago
for $3.3 million under the
city's Community Preserva-
tion program financed by a
state program and the city's
motel and hotel tax.
Volunteers headed by
Steve Perdios of the Quincy
Environmental Network had
spent nights and weekends
opening the trail through for-
est and underbrush. Perdios
is Chairman of the Commu-
nity Preservation Committee
(CPC).
Perdios, also, guided the
tour last Saturday and orga-
nized the celebration at the
adjoining Faxon Park to
honor Owens whose "Trea-
sures" tours have been of-
fered every month almost
non-stop for the past eight
years.
In 2000, Owen launched
the first Treasures" tour
aimed at spotlighting the
city'scnviioiunental delights.
T went to the Park De-
partment and had an idea,"
Owen said, adding that Tom
Kocii, now mayor, headed the
department at the time. "I'm
grateful to the mayor for his
support."
She wanted Quincy's
other residents to appreciate
the city's magnificent offer-
ings and often hidden gems
from its beaches to its Blue
Hills border to its glacial
rocks and unique formations.
As a result, there's been a
tour almost every single
month, year-round for the
past eight years, with a few
exceptions for blizzards or
rainstorms, according to
Owen who said the winter
tours are often packed.
"My goal was to try to
have people in Quincy learn
about (its natural gems)," said
Owen.
Owen's idea worked be-
cause she said that every
single month, one of the par-
ticipants will tell her, "I've
lived in Quincy all my life
and " they didn't know
about an area or a particular
history.
Maureen Mazrimas of
Squantum, also a CPC mem-
ber, echoed Owen' s comment
when she described visiting
Squaw Rock in Squantum
Park and learning that some
of the rocks are unique.
"I've lived in Squantum
37 years," Mazrimas said,
adding she'd been surprised
at how much she learned on
the Squaw Rock tour.
"She has done a fabulous
job of informing people,"
Mazrimas said of Owen.
Mazrimas added that the tours
often feature the city's "bur-
ied treasures."
"I really have to be grate-
ful for the people who lead
the tours," Owen said, noting
that tour leaders from differ-
ent fields focus on their ex-
pertise. Tour leaders often
call Owen with their ideas.
"We frequently go to the
same place," said Owen, add-
ing that each expert leader
provides a new layer of inter-
est. For example, at
Merrymount Park, one guide
discussed glaciers in Quincy,
another the Olmstead Historic
sites, and, on another trip,
participants enjoyed stargaz-
ing.
She said that, often, tour
leaders are "passionate"
about their subject.
"They love sharing (their
expertise)," she said, describ-
ing many people who give
freely of their time and en-
ergy to protect or save a city
treasure and no one knows
about their contributions.
"You do these tours and
you learn all these people who
are working (on different
projects) and we don't know
about it," said Owen.
The 100th tour offered an
example of such efforts, ac-
cording to Mazrimas, who,
also, saluted the volunteers
who'd prepared the park.
"Kudos to them," said
Mazrimas of the 12-14 vol-
unteers who opened the path,
offering hours and hours of
volunteer hours. Mazrimas
had visited the property when
the CPC was considering its
recommendation for pur-
chase.
"I couldn't go very deeply
THE lOOTH TOUR cake honoring Sally Owen was shared after the first hike in the city's new
conservation property abutting Faxon Park.
TOUR LEADER Steve Perdios describes the unique offerings at the Hazeltine site, the city's
recently acquired 13.5-acre conservation property. Perdios of the Environmental Network of
Quincy is chairman of the Conununity Preservation Committee.

into it." Mazrimas said,
"There hadn't been a trail
carved out."
As for the trail, Mazrimas
said of the dozen volunteers,
"It goes to show what people
will do. No city funds (were
used) to carve out that trail."
The work was worth it and
the tour was a success, ac-
cording to Mazrimas and
Perdios.
Mazrimas said the
Hazeltine site offers "fabu-
lous, fabulous views. You
look into the woods and it's
hard to beheve I'm in the
middle of a city."
Perdios described the
spectacular view of Quincy
Bay, seen from the top of a
hill on the site, in much the
same way.
"It's such a picturesque
property," Perdios said, cit-
ing, also, the property's an-
cient stone wall and pond.
In addition, Perdios said
the Hazeltine site creates an
enormous conservation area
as it abuts not only Faxon
Park, but, also, the 50-acre
Eaton Pond conservation area
in Braintree.
Currently, Perdios said the
only access to the new trail is
at the Southeast comer of
Faxon Park beyond the stone
wall. The entrance is marked
with spray paint, as is the
new trail.
The Hazeltine property
was purchased from
AvalonBay Communities,
Inc., which had proposed a
146-unit development on the
site which is located off Falls
Boulevard, Quincy Point.
Each of the monthly tours
is publicized, Owen said.
However, she encouraged
interested persons to submit
their e-mail address to her at
617-472-0799 or their mail-
ing address to the Quincy
Park Department.

Credit-Card
Lawsuit Exposes
Sleazy Tactics
Subprime credit cards arc
often attractive to con-
sumers who have had credit
probJems and can't get
approved for a regular card.
But the consumer abuse
associated with these cards
makes them something to
avoid.
The Federal Trade Com-
mission has Anally instituted
a lawsuit against a subprime
credit-card company after a
long investigation, and the
details of the suit are worth
noting.
Among the counts of the
lawsuit are: misrepresenta-
tion of available credit, fail-
ute to disclose fees and fail-
ure to disclose how use of
the credit card would
adversely affect available
credit
Here's how the govem-
menl says it worked:
More than 1 million con-
sumers applied for and
believed they would receive
a credit card with a $300
available credit limit, that
there were no upfront fees
and no deposit was required.
The promotional mailings
were misleading, with con-
sumers required to follow a
complicated set of asterisks
and miscellaneous symbols
on the front and back of mul-
tiple pages of text. Only
there, buried in tiny print in
various places, was the dis-
closure that there "ma> be"
certain fees such as annual
fee, account-opening fee
and maintenance fee, which
in this case amounted to
$185 of the available $300
credit limit.
Also buried was the notice
that the company would
withhold half the credit until
the fourth month. Only $ 1 1 5
of the original $300 would
be left after fees were imme-
diately deducted from the
available balance.
Another objectionable lac-
tic was the use of behavior-
model credit scoring.
According to the lawsuit, the
behavior model of credit
scoring takes into considera-
tion where the consumer is
using the card. Negatives
include purchases from
direct-marketing merchants,
marriage and personal coun-
selors, tire retreading and
repair shops, nightclubs and
bars, and pawn shops. When
those types of purchases
were found, the credit limits
were immediately lowered
to below an existing balance
and the consumer was
charged fees for being over
the limit.
If you receive offers for
subprime credit cards,
always read every word on
the offer. Visit the Federal
Trade Commission Web site
at www.ftc.gov and do a
search for credit cards to
leam if that company is
being investigated. Better
yet. if you have problem
credit, work to clear it up
before applying for a more
mainstream credit card.

Young Children, Older Adults At Highest Risk Of Death From Homes Fires
People at the highest risk
of death in home structure
fires are the very young and
very old, according to the
Characteristics of Home Fire
Victims report released today
by the National Fire Protec-
tion Association (NFPA).
Key findings from the re-
port:
AGE
• In 2002-2005, children
under age 5 were one and a
half times as hkely to die in
a home fire as the general
public.
• People age 65 and over
were more than twice as
likely to die in a home fire
and the risk of death in-
creased with age among
older adults, with those 85
and over being nearly four
times as likely to die.
• The highest risk of non-
fatal injury from home fires
was faced by people age 20-
49 and 75 or over. Risk of
injury for adults between 20-
34 years old was 30 percent
greater than the average per-
son.
• For children 14 and un-
der, heating equipment is the
leading cause of civilian fire
deaths. Children under the
age of 5 are more than eight
times as likely to die in fire
caused by playing with heat
source than are people of all
ages.
GENERAL
• Overall, fire deaths and
injuries in home structure
fires are down. On average,
2,870 people died in home
structure fires annually in
2002-2005.
• In 2005, home structure
fire deaths were down 45
percent and injures were
down 35 percent, compared
to 1980.
• More than two of every
five people injured (but not
killed) in home fires were
trying to fight the fire or res-
cue someone when they were
injured.
• More than one of every
three fatal fire victims never
wake up before being in-
jured.
GENDER
• Males have a 30 percent
higher risk of home fire
death than females and an 1 8
percent higher risk of non-
fatal home fire injury.
• Males were more likely
than females to be fighting
the fire or trying to rescue
others from it when injured,
while females were more
likely than males to be escap-
ing when injured.
REGION/POPULATION
• Rural communities were
found to have the highest fire
death rates in the nation. In
2006, the highest fire death
rates by far were in southern
communities with popula-
tions under 2,500 people.
Comparable areas in the west
had the second highest death
rate.
CAUSES
• Smoking materials have
historically caused the larg-
est number of civilian deaths
in home structure fires; how-
ever in 2002-2005, heating
equipment and smoking ma-
terials each accounted for 24
percent of civilian fire
deaths. Cooking equipment
continues to be the leading
cause of civilian fire injuries.
• For children 14 and un-
der, heating equipment is the
leading cause of civiUan fire
deaths. Children under the
age of 5 are more than eight
times as likely to die in fire
caused by playing with heat
source than are people of all
ages.
• Fire deaths due to smoke
inhalation outnumber deaths
due to bums.
NFPA offers the following
tips on 10 things people can
do to be fire-safe at home:
• Watch your cooking
Stay in the kitchen when
you are frying, grilling, or
broiling food. If you must
leave, even for a short time,
turn off the stove.
• Give space heaters space
Keep fixed and portable
space heaters at least 3 feet
from anything that can bum.
Tum off heaters when you
leave the room or go to sleep.
• Smoke outside
Ask smokers to smoke
outside. Have sturdy, deep
ashtrays for smokers.
• Keep matches and light-
ers out of reach
Keep matches and lighters
up high, out of the reach of
children, preferably in a
cabinet with a child lock.
• Inspect electrical cords
Replace cords that are
cracked, damaged, have bro-
ken plugs, or have loose con-
nections.
• Be careful when using
candles
Keep candles at least 1
foot from anything that can
bum. Blow out candles when
you leave the room or go to

sleep.
• Have a home fire escape
plan
Make a home fire escape
plan and practice it at least
twice a year.
• Install smoke alarms
Install smoke alarms on
every level of your home,
inside bedrooms and outside
sleeping areas. Interconnect
smoke alarms throughout the
home. When one sounds,
they all sound.
• Test smoke alarms
Test smoke alarms at least
once a month and replace
batteries once a year or when
the alarm "chirps" to tell you
the battery is low. Replace
any smoke alarm that is more
than 10 years old.
• Install sprinklers
If you are building or re-
modeling your home, install
residential fire sprinklers.
Sprinklers can contain and
may even extinguish a fire in
less time than it would take
the fire department to arrive.

Poor Nutrition
Can Undermine
Workouts
2« 1 have been exercis-
• ing regularly for the
several months but
have only seen slight
changes in the way my
clothes fit and even small-
er changes on my scale.
My husband thinks my
eating habits are sabotag-
ing my workouts. Could
he be right, or do I just
need to work harder?
A. Your husband may be
• right on this one.
Exercise is a great tool to
help facilitate weight and
body-fat loss, but it is only
one part of the puzzle. Fac-
tors such as nutrition, stress,
medical conditions and oth-
er lifestyle choices are just
as important as your work-
outs. Each factor depends
on the others to truly allow
your body to be healthy, fit
and strong.
There is no question that
exercise is extremely
important to help keep
bones and muscles strong,
to maintain lean muscles
and promote flexibility and
cardiovascular function.
However, the importance of
nutrition cannot be over-
looked. The body uses calo-
ries for energy, and the
amount the body consumes
can affect how your body
responds.
Your exercise routine can-
not cancel out the overcon-
sumption of calories, which
can result in the body's
inability to lose body fat.
Try keeping a food log for a
week to truly monitor your
eating habits. After a week,
look al where you could
have made better choices
and begin to make adjust-
ments. If you continue to
complete your exercise rou-
tine, with these new small
changes to your diet, you
should begin to see
changes.
Nutrition and exercise
must go hand and hand.
Take your time and begin to
modify your lifestyle so
there is room for both.
You'll also need to take
note of other factors such as
stress and medical condi-
tions. Make a total evalua-
tion of your lifestyle and
find where there is room for
improvement.
Seek the assistance of a
professional nutritionist or
dietician to help with your
meal plarming and analysis
of your food logs, and con-
sult a certified personal
trainer if needed to help in
designing a workout routine
that will help you reach
your goals.
Continue to work out even
if your nutritional habits
lake a while to change,
because the benefits of
exercise are tremendous.
However, improving your
nutritional habits will put
you in a win-win situation.
Always consult a physi-
cian before beginning an
exercise program. If you
have a fitness or training
question, write to Andrea in

MISSING LINK
When missing teeth need of personal care, high technol-
L
to be replaced, one option is a
"fixed bridge." This dental
appliance bridges gaps be-
tween teeth by cementing the
bridge (which holds a pros-
thetic tooth known as a "pon-
tic" in lace) to healthy abut-
ment teeth on either side of the
gap. Simply put, a fixed
bridged is typically composed
of a pontic fused between two
crowns that attach to abut-
ment teeth. Aside from a tra-
ditional bridge, another pop-
lar design is the resin bonded,
or Maryland, bridge, which
consists of a pontic fused to
metal bands that can be
bonded to the abutment teeth
with resin cement and hidden
from view. This design re-
duces the amount of prepara-
tion that healthy abutment
teeth need to endure.
Could a "fixed bridge"
solve your missing teeth prob-
lem? Combining the right mix
ogy, and continuing education,
we maintain a commitment to
our patients in every facet of
our practice. If you have ques-
tions or concerns, please let us
know. Our full line dental ser-
vices include crowns, bridges,
dentures, and cosmetic den-
tistry. For more information, or
to schedule an appointment,
please call us at 617-479-6220
to schedule an appointment.
For compassionate dentistry
for the entire family, come see
us at 44 Greenleaf Street. Our
caring, friendly staff strives to
make each visit pleasant and
comfortable in a relaxed atmo-
sphere. We offer the services
of anesthesiology with a fully
trained and qualified anesthe-
siologist. Visit us on the web

P.S. A cantilever bridge is
a design that may be utilized
if there are abutment teeth on
only one side of a gap.
Quitting Time:
A Look At Smoking And Preventing
Diabetes And Heart Disease
(ARA) - It's well known
that smoking causes cancer.
But did you know that smok-
ing may also raise your risk
for type 2 diabetes? Or that
it's a major factor in nearly
half of heart attacks? It's
never easy to stop smoking,
but millions of people have
quit - and you can, too. Now
might be the time to give it a
try.
Cigarettes contain more
than 4,000 chemicals, includ-
ing ammonia and substances
found in rat poison. No mat-
ter how long you've smoked,
you'll be healthier just 20
minutes after you quit, as
your pulse rate goes back to
normal. That reduces the
stress on your heart. After
just three days, the nicotine
leaves your body and each
breath comes easier. What
about financial benefits? A
pack-a-day smoker saves
about $150 after one month
without cigarettes, more than
$1,800 after one year and
close to $50,000 after 25
years.
About four out of five
smokers would like to quit.
Are you one of them? Here
are some tips to get smoke-
free:
• Make a Plan. Write down
the reasons you want to stop
smoking. Maybe you want to
be around to see your kids
graduate. Or be able to spend
time with yoiu- grandchildren
in the extra 10 years, on av-
erage, you'll live as a non
smoker. Then stock up on
distractions — carrots, pret-
zels or sugar-free gum.
Choose your official "Quit
Day." According to Dr. Ann
L. Albright, president of
Health Care & Education at
the American Diabetes Asso-
ciation, "The day you quit
should be during a time that
you expect your life to be
fairly calm so that stress
won't tempt you to smoke
and withdrawal symptoms
won't significantly interfere
with your life." Then throw
away matches, lighters and
ashtrays.
• Get Help. Quitting cold
turkey works for some. But
more succeed by blunting the
discomfort of withdrawal.
Nicotine replacement
therapy (NRT) can help. Op-
tions include the nicotine
patch, gum, lozenges, inhaler
or nasal spray. For some, pre-
scription medicines such as
bupropion (Zyban) or
varenicline (Chantix) are
more effective than NRT in
reducing the craving for
nicotine. Talk with your doc-
tor about the best option for
you.
• Get Support. When
you're fighting the urge to
smoke, don't go it alone. To
speak with a counselor, call
the National Network of To-
bacco Cessation Quitlines at
1-800-QUITNOW (1-800-
784-8669) or the National
Cancer Institute's Smoking
Quitlineat 1-877-44U-QUIT
(1-877-448-7848).
• Stay Strong. The urge to
smoke lasts about four min-
utes. Do what you can to wait
it out. Many people go back
to smoking in their first week
without cigarettes. Stay
strong, day by day, until
you're smoke-free for a full
seven days. Then treat your-
self with that new CD you've
been wantjng. "It's a good
idea to plan rewards for stick-
ing to your goal, such as go-
ing to a movie for each week
you don't smoke," Dr.
Albright says. After three
months, the chances that
you'll smoke again drop
sharply. Going 90 days with-
out a cigarette could end up
giving you a longer life.
• Keep Going. Visit
www.smokefree.gov to
learn more about what it
takes to quit smoking for
good.
It might not seem this way
sometimes, but most people
don't smoke. For example,
in Massachusetts only 15
percent of adults are smok-
ers. And throughout the
United States, nearly half of
all adult smokers have al-
ready quit.
To learn more about how
quitting smoking can lower
your risk for type 2 diabe-
tes, heart disease, and stroke,
call the American Diabetes
Association at 1-800-DIA-
BETES (1-800-342^2383),

Exercise Tips For Success
(ARA) - Everybody
knows that exercise is good.
Doctors have told us for
years that exercise can help
us lose weight, look better,
feel better, and even sleep
better. However, exercise
sounds like work, and many
of us claim that we just don't
have time to add more work
to our daily lives.
Dr. Bart Lerner (EdD),
president of Argosy Univer-
sity, Phoenix, offers guide-
lines for approaching an ex-
ercise regimen than can help
everyone benefit from exer-
cise. Lerner says, "Simply
stated, sport-exercise psy-
chology can be defined as
mental management of
physical resources. Staying
mentally focused is the most
important factor."
To build motivation for
exercise, Lerner recom-
mends outUning the reasons
why you want to participate
in the activity. Some people
exercise to improve their per-
formance in a sport, while
others exercise to tone
muscles, or socialize with
friends at a gym. 'There is
usually more than one reason
why we exercise," Lerner
says, "The number one rea-
son is weight control. It could
be to lose extra weight gained
throughout the year or to ad-
dress health problems that
have a tendency to appear in
overweight people."
Making changes in your
enviroimient can help keep
motivation levels high. If
your exercise equipment sits
in the basement, consider
moving it to a more conve-
nient spot in your house. If
you don't have the facilities
at home, purchase a gym
membership. "When you
provide for successful exer-
cise experiences, good things
can happen," says Lerner,
"You don't have to do three
sets of 10 from the start. Pro-
vide realistic goals. Doing
one set will give you success,
and you can build on that suc-
cess each time."
Lerner also suggests mak-
ing your exercise fun.
"People are less likely to
see exercise as a chore when
it contains elements of fun.
Consider adding music as a
motivator during the session.
Mix it up a bit by varying the
content or sequence of the
workout. Work on arms and
legs one day, and legs and
stomach the next," says
Lerner, "By setting realistic
goals that you can achieve
frequently, you feel satisfied
along the way. As you
progress in the level of yoiu"
workout, you'll feel better. At
that point, the workout be-
comes its own motivator."
Lerner says that those
who seek to benefit from
working out should exercise
three to five days a week for
25 to 45 minutes at a time.
During each session, try to
reach 60 percent to 70 per-
cent of yoiu- maximal heart
rate. A simple formula for
figuring maximal heart rate
is to take 220 and subtract
your age. Each time you ex-
ercise, try to reach 60 per-
cent of that number. To find
your heart rate, feel your
pulse and count the beats for
ten seconds. Multiply by six
to get the heart rate per
minute.
"Exercise can reduce the
chances of heart disease and
hypertension, and reduce
stress," Lerner says, "It re-
leases endorphins in the
brain, which can add to our
emotional well-being. Exer-
cise also makes one more
aware of self, and can build
confidence."

15 Sailors From Quincy
Recreation Sail In
Quincy Bay Race Week
The Quincy Recreation
Department (QRD) had fif-
teen sailors from the William
F. Ryan Boating and Sailing
facility at Black's Creek take
part in Quincy Bay Race
Week. The fifteen sailors, all
from the advance sailing
classes, participated in three
races held at Squantum Yacht
Club on July 24-25.
Sailing and competing in
the Widgeon Class and fin-
ishing in first place were
skipper Andrew Fonte and
crew Carolyn Schwartz and
Rob Lawton.
Skipper Kelsey McCarthy
and crew Anthony Fonte and
Brianna Foley finished in
second place.
Skipper John Schwartz
and crew Jamie Figueiredo
and Andrew Nelson took
third place to complete a
QRD sweep of first, second
and third in the Widgeon
Class.
Also racing were skipper
Aidan Flattery with crew
Emily Sullivan and Matt
Block and skipper Jack
Glennon with crew Colin
Hales and Kathleen Tansey.
A Job Well Done
(Cont'd Fwm Page 12)
tempted to speak with the suspect but he walked away from
the fence and shouted, ''$%^& you, you better pull out
those guns and shoot me because I am not coming
out, %^&* you. "Based on the statement from the agitated
suspect that he was not coming out and he would resist.
Sergeant Foley took out a ballistic shield from his
cruiser and advised the suspect that they were coming in to
get him and it was his last chance to come out voluntarily.
As soon as the Officers made their move, the suspect rap-
idly inhaled vapors from the bag and moved away from
the only gate. Once inside the fenced in area, the Officers
approached the suspect, who began swinging the white
plastic bag at the Officers. The bag contained an orange sub-
stance that was consistent with the substance contained in
the quart can of paint stripper. The substance flew out of
the bag and struck Sergeant Foley on his right ear, cheek,
forearm and all over his uniform.
Officer Patten was also hit with the toxic fluid and both
experienced a burning sensation immediately on the affected
areas. Sergeant Foley slammed the suspect into the fence
with the sliield and Officers' Keenan, M.J. O'Brien and Tim
Sinmions attempted to place handcuffs on the suspect, who
struggled but was quickly overcome.
The ambulance on scene treated Officer Patten and Ser-
geant Foley for chemical bums. Photos of the Strypeeze can
and the white plastic bag containing the Strypeeze were
taken as evidence. The suspect, a 40 year old Quincy resi-
dent was charged with two counts of "Assault and Battery
with a Dangerous Weapon." This suspect, who has been in
and out of prison for years, and just got out, has been sniff-
ing glue and other chemicals since back in the 1980's when
I was in patrol. He and another man, who died in 1996,
were the forerunners of this activity.
Nice Work!
PAST BREAKS: East Elm Avenue, Captain's Walk,
Morton Street, Spear Street, Spring Street, 700 block of
Willard Street, 200 block of Washington Street.
These sailors were se-
lected from the Advanced
Class of the QRD's summer
program and were accompa-
nied by program supervisor
Kevin Richardson and in-
structors Nate Schow, Dan
Murphy and DJ Figueiredo.
Recreation Director Barry
J. Welch praised the Quincy
Bay Race Week Committee
for "their commitment to
providing the opportunity for
our participants to enjoy the
thrill associated with sailing
in Quincy Bay. It is an expe-
rience they will never for-
get."

Host Families Needed For Area Hockey Team
The Boston Junior Rang-
ers Hockey Club, a newly
formed AAA Midget hockey
team, based out of the Bavis
Ice20Arena in Rockland, is
looking for host families for
several of their players.
The team is made up of
players from all over the
United States. They will at-
tend local area high schools
while playing for the Junior
Rangers.
Head Coach and General
Manager Bobby Kinsella
came to the Junior Rangers
from the Sioux City Muske-
teers, a Tier 1 Junior A
hockey program in Sioux
City, Iowa.
"We're bringing in some
of the best young hockey
players in the country," he
said. "These young men are
leaving their homes to play
with and against the best
players in the country. They
have aspirations to play in
college and our job is to help
get them there."
The host family or billet
family concept is something
of a hockey tradition, and is
especially important at the
Midget and Junior level of
hockey. It involves host fami-
lies opening their homes to
out-of-state or out-of-country
players and provides an op-
portunity for these young
men to pursue the next step
in their developing hockey
careers.
During their stay, bonding
takes place between the
player and the host family
and lasting relationships are
forged. The billet home be-
comes a player's second
home and the community
becomes a second home-
town.
Billet families are consid-
ered an important part of the
Boston Junior Rangers
Hockey program and a
monthly stipend is provided
to all host families, from the
team.

SclloilK^'
ARIES (March 21 to April
19) A longtime situation
starts to move into a new
phase. The question for die
uncertain Lamb right now is
whether to move with it.
Facts emerge by midmonth
to help you decide.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) A talent for organizing
your priorities allows the
Divine Bovine to enjoy a
busy social life and not miss a
beat in meeting all workplace
and/or family commitments.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) What began as a dubious
undertaking has now become
one of your favorite projects.
Your enthusiasm for it rallies
support from other doubters-
tumed-believers.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Accept the help of friends
to get you through an unex-
pectedly difficult situation.
There'll be time enough later
to investigate how all this
could have happened so fast.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Change is a major factor for
the Big Cat through mid-
month. Be prepared to deal
with it on a number of levels,
including travel plans and
workplace situations.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) You might not like
all the changes that have
begun to take place around
you. But try to find some-
thing positive in at least some
of them that you can put to
good use.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) A family mem-
ber's unsettling experience
could create more problems
if it's not handled with care
and love. And who's the best
one to offer all that? You, of
course.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 2 1 ) It might not be
the right time for you to start
a new venture. But it's a good
time to start gathering facts
and figures so you'll be set
when the GO! sign Ughts up.
SAGriTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21) The
sagacious Sagittarius should
have no trouble deciding
between those who can and
those who cannot be trusted
to carry out a woricplace
commitment.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) Surprise,
surprise. It looks as if that
one person you once thought
you could never hope to win
over to your side just might
suddenly choose to join you.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 1 8) You might have
to set aside your pride for
now and accept a change thai
isn't to your advantage.
Cheer up. There'll be time
later to turn this around in
your favor.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Your creative self
emerges as dominant through
midmonth. This should help
you restart Uiat writing or arts
project you've left on the
shelf for far too long.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
have a way of encouraging
others by example to come
out from the shadows and
enjoy life to the fullest

12 Dead Birds But:
No West Nile Virus
Found Here - So Far
By TOM HENSHAW
The West Nile Virus En-
cephalitis season is in full
swing in Massachusetts and
once again Quincy appears to
have escaped an assault by
the mosquito-bome disease
that can be transmitted from
birds to humans.
'Twelve dead birds have
been found in the city," said
Cindy DeCristofaro, the
chief sanitarian in the Pubhc
Health Department, "but
none of them has been tested
for West Nile. No mosquito
samples have tested positive
either."
Last year, a total of 19
dead birds were found in
Quincy and reported to the
state but none of them were
thought to be candidates for
testing.
"The state determines
which birds should be
tested," said DeCristofaro.
"Right now it's just crows
and blue jays. It depends on
{Cont'd On Page 36)
to use a $ 1 50,000 earmark in
the state budget as well as
federal grant funds to get the
center up and running.
"I am confident this will
be an outstanding center,"
Clasby said this week, adding,
"The people I talk with about
it are extremely excited; they
see this as a very very positive
step."
The center will be located
in the former Myles Standish
School, 440 East Squantum
Street, North Quincy, when
the non-profit tenant,
Beechwood on the Bay, Inc.,
leaves at the end of August.
Beechwood closed with its
last function Aug. 1 .
"We have gone in and
done a preliminary
evaluation," Clasby said this
week, adding, "We are right
now drawing up the plans."
TOM CLASBY
Clasby said that Koch
toured the building last week
with him and other city
officials, including Health
Commissioner Drew
Scheele; Jay Duca, Director
of Inspectional Services and
Gary Cunniff, Director of
Public Buildings.
"The building is in good
shape," Clasby said, adding
that he expects to move
quickly once the structure is
empty.
Under Koch and Clasby 's
plan, the building will house
Elder Service administrative
offices, provide space for
senior citizen programs, and,
on an indefinite basis, be
home to the city's Health
Department.
The Beechwood on the
Bay sign at the property has
already been removed.
However, Clasby said that,
contrary to published reports,
the Beechwood staff will
officially remain in the
building until Aug. 31.
'To this day, we don't
have the building," Clasby
said. The former school has
approximately 15,000-sq. ft.
of space on 1 1 .2 acres near

To Compete In Squantum's 'Causeway Challenge'
Grandfather, Grandson Finishing 16-Foot Skiff
GRANDFATHER AND GRANDSON, both named Ranee GUlespies, prepare for the final work
on their joint project, a 16-foot skiff, in Gillespie's driveway on Bayberry Road, Squantum. The
project began a year ago. Young Ranee plans to enter the boat in the ''Causeway ChaUenge," next
week 's fundraiser for Squantum 's 2009 Fourth of July celebration. In the background are wooden
fish carved by the elder Gillespie. (Quincy Sun Photo/Laura Griffin)

By LAURA GRIFFIN
Nearly a year from the start
date, the Gillespie master-
piece is almost finished.
The 16-foot boat, a joint
project built by grandfather
and grandson, is nearly ready
for its maiden voyage down
Bayberry Road into the At-
lantic.
Twelve year old Ranee
Gillespie, 3"*, calls it a "pogy
boat;" his grandfather, also
Ranee, calls it a "16-foot
working skiff."
But the names don't mat-
ter to this Squantum pair
who've been working to-
gether for more than year to
build their boat.
Last Sunday, they were
near the finish line and the
first coat of paint on the raw
wood as young Ranee, guided
by his grandfather, sanded
the sides.
Then, as 67-year old
Gillespie measured the skids
for the bottom and young
Ranee held the strips steady,
they talked of colors.
"Maybe, blue and white
and gray," said Ranee who
attends Atlantic Middle
School. Ranee siiid he's 12,
but he'll be 13 in just over a
week, actually Aug. 18.
The Gillespies are hoping
to finish in the next few days
in time for young Ranee to
compete in Squantum's
"Causeway Challenge" on
Saturday, Aug. 23. The event
is a fundraiser for Squantum' s
1 00th Fourth of July celebra-
tion in 2009.
Ranee will be 13 by then,
"I'll probably go for strip-
ers." He' s already a seasoned
fisherman and said his larg-
estcatchwasa42-inch striper.
Like his grandfather, he's
also caught bluefish, floun-
der and mackerel and fished
at Martha's Vineyard.
Gillespie has kept a boat in
Rorida.
After the contest. Ranee
has big plans for his boat.
"I'm going to catch po-
gies and sell them," Ranee,
said of his plans to flsh for his
fortune in Quincy Bay.
Pogies are "little mack-
erel," Gillespie said, noting
they travel in schools and can
be caught with nets or poles.
The pogies are used and sold
for bait.
Ranee is likely to do well
as Gillespie described the
youngster's work on the boat
project from gluing to mea-
suring to cleaning up.
In fact, building the boat
was the boy's idea. Young
Ranee saw his grandfather
rebuild an ' 83 El Camino with
another grandson, D.J.
Gillespie of Scituate. D.J.,
now 19, is a freshman at
Renssellaer Polytechnic In-
stitute, NY.
He reasoned that if his
grandfather could build a car
with D.J., perhaps he could
build a boat with him.
Gillespie recalled Ranee
asking, "Can we have a
project?"
"We built the jig last sum-
mer," Gillespie said explain-
ing that a jig "is the frame" of
the boat structure, like a pat-
tern for a sewing project.
The jig has to be built first
so Ranee and Gillespie started
with cheap plywood on the
original draft. The jig hes
under the structure and is used
for measurement.
While Gillespie has rebuilt
a number of cars, including a
'46 Ford Coupe and the car
used in "Who Framed Roger
Rabbit?" this is his first ship-
building.
'This is our first experi-
ence. We're hoping it will
float," laughed Gillespie who
has actually been building
wood structures on his own
since he was his grandson'^
age. ♦
For a few mmutes, he
reminisced, describkig - the
sturdy wooden huts he and
his friends built each sum-
mer in the 1950's on
Squantum beaches and empty
lots and on the sand off Mqpn
Island Road.
One hut actually had three
stories, he recalled. In the
intervening years, there have
been building projects with
his two sons, Ranee's father.
Ranee, Jr., of Squantum and
Donald of Scituate.
Now this boat he's built
with his grandson appears to
be just as sturdy and seawor-
thy to boot.
Gillespie offered a de-
tailed description of the hull
and side thickness and the
boat's measurements and
components, such as the
Marine plywood and yellow
pine, the specials screws,
stainless steel fasteners and
West System Epoxy glue.
Ranee said he'll dock it in
the cove on the bay side of
Squantum where his grand-
father kept his boats for years
and his father Ranee, Jr. docks
his boat.
7 lie 67-year old Gillespie
is retired from Gillette. For
1 0 years, he was a member of
Wollaston Yacht Club where
he served as Commodore.
Gillespie and his wife Su-
san (Kelly), a Registered
Nurse, are lifelong Quincy
residents. They raised their
four children in Squanmm.
In addition to Ranee, Jr.
and Donald, they have two
daughters, Kelly Ryan of
Dorchester and Lynn
Beliveau of Westboro. They
have nine grandchildren.
Gillespie wondered aloud
what kind of projects the next
seven children will suggest.

Mariano Vs. Roos
Veteran, Newcomer Vie
For Mulvey School Seat
Davis Sets Aug. 26 For Meeting
On 168 New Units At Cliffwalk
BY TOM HENSHAW
It will be the undefeated
veteran versus the rookie
wannabe when the City
Council and the School Com-
mittee meet in the fall to
choose a successor to School
Committeeman Kevin
Mulvey.
State Rep. Ron Mariano,
a former member of the com-
mittee for 16 years and a state
legislator since 1992, has
been nominated by Mayor
Thomas Koch to fill the fi-
nal year of Mulvey 's four-
year term.
Karl Roos of Park Street,
Wollaston, who has never run
for public office but earlier
this year sought an appoint-
ment to succeed James
Timmins, announced Tues-
day that he too wants
Mulvey's seat.
The successor to Mulvey,
who resigned to become hu-
man resources director of the
Quincy Public Schools, will
be chosen by a joint conven-
tion of the City Council and
School Committee, probably
next month (September).
Koch said he asked
Mariano to submit his name
for the school post after an
absence of three years. "We
had a good talk about it, and
he agreed to seek the appoint-
ment," the Mayor said.
'There is no question that
Quincy Public Schools are
much better off today thanks
to the work of Ron Mariano
over the years," added Koch,
who is also chairman of the
School Committee.
"We are now at a moment
of time when his experience,
dedication and knowledge
will be a huge asset to the
School Committee."
Mariano, a Quincy school
teacher for 12 years, served
on the School Committee
from 1989 to 2005 before
deciding not to run for a fifth

Roos is the father of three
children, two of them about

ementary School and one Mariano to the mix will only

Nick Puleo in the joint con- Construction of a new
vention in February that was Quincy High School is now
called to fill the vacancy cre-
ated when Timmins was
named city solicitor.
Puleo got 10 votes and
Roos four, all from members
of the School Committee.
Roos, a pharmaceutical
salesman, said he was en-
couraged by supporters to be
a convention candidate
again.
Koch said his decision to
ask Mariano to seek the seat
was framed largely by his
knowledge of school con-
struction projects and the
positive working relation-
ships he has built with state
officials in charge of these
projects.
Ward 4 City Councillor
Jay Davis will hold a
neighborhood meeting on
Aug. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the
Ward 4 Community Center
to discuss a proposed
expansion of Cliffwalk
Apartments, located at 790
Willard St.
Davis informed his
constituents by letter that the
developer, CJ Willard Street
LLC, has proposed
constructing an additional
1 68 units on land adjacent to
the current structure which
has some 120 units. The
addition would be similar in
scale and style to the current
building.
Cliffwalk with offices at
790 Willard St. was built in
JAY DAVIS
Batterymarch Park Drive and
Willard Street in West
Quincy.
According to Planning
Director Dennis Harrington,
the property is part of a
Planned Unit Development
or PUD and would require a
Special Permit.
The expansion plans must
be reviewed by the Planning
Board for a recommendation
and the final decision would
be made by the City Council
acting as the Special Permit
Granting Authority.

Hitchcock is bom, the son of
a London poultry dealer and

known for sneaking his own
cameo appearance into
every film.

That Crush On McCain
McCain
BUSH
Quincy had a sort of political crush on John McCain
back in 2000.
It faded a little this past February.
Will it bloom again in November?
In the 2000 Presidential primary McCain carried
Quincy over
George W. Bush
with 65 percent of
the vote to Bush's
29 percent in a six-
candidate field.
The vote was
3,870 to 1,756.
Also in that race were Orrin Hatch, Steve Forbes,
Alan Keyes and Gary Bauer.
On the Democratic side, Al Gore rode to a 58 to 34-
percentage win over Bill Bradley-5,925 to 3,518.
Far behind and out-of-sight was perennial candidate
Lyndon LaRouche, Jr. with a total 47 votes.
Bush, of course, went on to win the Republican nomi-
nation and the White House, which a lot of people would
like to forget.
There was some party switching here in those 2000
primaries with some 855 registered voters changing af-
filiations.
Though Quincy has been a Democratic stronghold
since the coming of John F. Kennedy, the biggest cross-
over was among Democrats: 645 of them to unenrolled
(Independent) and 91 to Republican.
Only 89 Republicans changed horses: 67 to
unenrolled and 22 to Democrat.
And 121 unenrolled declared themselves Democrats
or Republicans: 70 Democrats and 51 as Republicans.
The unenrolled, of course, didn't have to switch. They
could have voted as a Democrat or Republican by
merely taking either ballot on Election Day. They would
technically be a Democrat or Republican for the mo-
ment and then change back to unenrolled.
McCain appeared to be the biggest benefactor of the
switching with most of those crossing over indicating
they were doing so to vote for him. They liked his mav-
erick style and straight talk.
Is that appeal still there? He's now eight years older
(72 later this month) and many are waiting to see who
he picks as a running mate before climbing aboard.
McCain also has an albatross in Bush whose popu-
larity is down in the political basement.
In defeating Bush here in 2000, he was running
County Commissioners
To Honor RS VP Volunteers
against a fellow Republican.
How he fares this year against a Democrat, Barack
Obama, will be interesting.
In this year's Presidential Primaries
held in February, McCain slipped
slightly, finishing a close runner-up to
former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Rom-
ney.

The Norfolk County com-
missioners will host their an-
nual RSVP Volunteer Recog-
nition Luncheon Thursday,
Aug. 28, at 1 1:30 a.m. at the
Lantana in Randolph.
Any person 55 years of
age and older who registers
with the Norfolk County
RSVP at this event and com-
mits to at least four hours of
volunteer service between
August and November, 2008,
wiU be complimentary guests
of the commissioners.
During the past year, more
than 400 area seniors have
provided thousands of hours
of volimteer service through
the RSVP.
"We're proud of the vol-
unteers at Norfolk County
RSVP," said Commission
Chairman Francis O'Brien.
"Our volunteers under-
stand the importance of car-
ing about your neighbors and
doing what you can to make
life better for your commu-
nity.
"They have compassion
and integrity, and it's an
honor to be the local sponsor
of this wonderful program."
Norfolk County RSVP
volunteers have served such
programs as adult literacy,
companionship, elementary
reading tutors and other hu-
man services.
For additional informa-
tion or to volimteer, contact
Norfolk County RSVP at
781-329-5728.
The difference was just 254 votes-
2,716 for Romney and 2,466 for
McCain. Or, 48 to 43 percent. Considering McCain was
on Ronmey's home turf, the vote would seem to indi-
cate he still has a following here.
In the Democratic primary, Quincy voters gave
Hillary Clinton a
big nod over
Obama.
Clinton racked
up 63 percent of the
Democratic vote
with 11,292.
Obama, lagged far
behind with a 29 percentage 5,190 vote. Can McCain
woo Quincy as he did in 20(X)?
He would seem to have a fairly good chance even
though Quincy is still a Democratic town-but not as
strong as it was a few years ago.
Democrats still outnumber Republicans here. At the
last official count in February there were 24,7 1 3 Demo-
crats to only 5,875 Republicans.
But the unenrolled have become a major force num-
bering 23,875-just 838 behind the Democrats.
They will be a key as to who carries Quincy in the
Nov. 4 election. And independents elsewhere will play
a major role as to whether McCain or Obama gets to
move into the White House.
Polls show the election as close now and tightening,
setting the stage for the independent influence.

THE STATE PRIMARIES Sept. 16 have taken a back

Scenes From Yesterday
Electric Car Terminus and Square, Hough's Neck, Quincy, Mass.
THIS IS A 1097 POSTCARD view of the Electric Car
Terminus and Square at the end of Sea Street in Houghs
Neck. The peaked roofed building in the right center
with the porch is the Quincy Yacht Club, the only build-
ing in this view that remains today. In front of it with
the oval sign was the widely popular Norteman's Pavil-
ion where they featured shore dinners, boiled live lob-
sters and fresh shellfish, all taken from local waters. It
alone attracted summer tourists by trolley and steam-
boat to Houghs Neck from all around Boston. On the
left the building with the gable was Arthur Dunham's
house where he had a grocery store and the post office.
The Moxie sign was on The Boston Candy Company
store. Fensmere Avenue went off on the left to a hotel.
At the time of this picture The Brockton Street Rail-
way Company operated the electric trolleys from
Quincy Square to here. They had a car bam for the
trolleys on the comer of Sea and Island Avenues. To

Myles Standish School 'Fits The Bill' For Senior Center
Quincy 's seniors deserve
to have a facility dedicated
for their use and their well-
being. A comprehensive se-
nior center has been talked
about for decades and we are
now on the verge of seeing
that dream turn into reality.
As chairman of the
Quincy Council on Aging
Board, I am proud that under
Mayor Thomas Koch's lead-
ership and with the assistance
of Elder Services Director
Thomas Clasby and the
Council on Aging board, we
will be opening the first
citywide facility for pro-
grams to serve our senior
population.
I recognize that our local
community centers provide a
number of programs for our
seniors and have done a good
job with very Umited space
and resources. But just Hke
the educational needs of our
children have outgrown a
one-room schoolhouse, the
needs of our senior citizens
require a facility, as recom-
mended by the state, of some
15,000 to 20,000 square feet
to serve a senior population
the size of Quincy.
Quite simply, the former
Myles Standish School fits
the bill. It is on one level,
handicapped accessible, and
has access to a bus line.
When Mayor Koch asked us
what our budget was, the re-
ality was we didn't have one
for new construction. The
cost estimate for the previ-
ously considered site, which
would have been much
smaller in size, was upwards
of $3 milhon.
During this difficult eco-
nomic time, it is apparent that
we have httle money to work
with, and that is another rea-
son why this site works. We,
the taxpayers of this city, own
the building and thanks to our
state delegation we have a
state earmark to assist with
the building renovation.
As far as the Beechwood
Community Life Center is
concerned, they have done a
wonderful job serving our
community. Originally
started in the Beechwood
Knoll School under the lead-
ership of the late Cecil Paul,
it moved to Myles Standish
when the city reopened the
school. The lease with the
city was to end next Septem-
ber and the Mayor started
talks with the Chairwoman of
the Board of Directors. A let-
ter was sent to Beechwood
asking for return of the build-
ing this year. However, the
Mayor made it clear on sev-
eral occasions that the time-
table was fluid and flexible
and would work with
Beechwood on the transition.
This is going to be a won-
derful project for our seniors,
and our entire community,
that is long overdue.

Several exciting bills were
passed during the state's last
legislative session-the Green

others.
These bills are necessary
for the state to reduce its
emissions of greenhouse
gases, improve its environ-
ment, increase the health of
its citizens, and, as Gov.
Deval Patrick says, sow the
seeds for a new green
economy.
I would like to thank the

mental issues. Quincy's
Senator Michael Morrissey
deserves special recognition
for his work on the Green
Communities Bill, which en-
courages investment in en-
ergy conservation and effi-
ciency. It also makes com-
munity-owned clean energy
projects more attractive than
ever.
Energy policies are not
going down. I hope Quincy
will take advantage of the
new policies and its own
wind resource to reduce its
carbon footprint along with
its energy purposes. Two or
three wind turbines the size
of Hull II would likely cover
the municipality's electric
bill.

* On-going Classes
*Seniors Welcome!!
On a recent trip to the Cape, our children
had cottages practically beside each other.
So as we all usually ate together, and took
turns cooking, it was quite a variety of foods.
One day my son Jim along with his sister
Suzie decided to have a sauce making contest.
And the rest of the family would taste each
one served separately and vote for the best
one.
I visited each one of them during the
afternoon, but neither one would tell me how
they were making the sauce, for fear I would
tell the other one.
So when we all gathered at Suzie' s place,
there were more than 20 of us eating pasta
from both sauces. Each had a number and we
all placed either number one or two on a
small piece of paper. Here are the recipes for
both sauces.
JIM'S SAUCE
Salt pork cut in small pieces (about 2
tablespoons)
1 small eggplant (cut in small bite size
pieces
1 small zucchini (also cut in small pieces)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 package fresh mushrooms (cut)
1/4 cup red wine
1 can tomato paste
2 cans tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for saut^ing
grated romano or Parmesan cheese for
topping
Saut6 the salt pork with a smidgen of olive
oil and then add the garUc and onion. You
can remove the salt pork if you wish, but Jim
left it in the sauce and it gives the sauce a
great flavor. Cook until all vegetables are
tender. Add the tomato paste, tomatoes and
wine and simmer for at least two hours. He
used two pounds of pasta.
SUZIE'S SAUCE
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 medium onion (chopped)
Olive oil for saut^ing
2 tablespoons fennel seeds
2 tablespoons fresh sage
1 pound ground turkey
sea salt and pepper to taste
1 jar tomato paste (or canned)
2 cans plum tomatoes (pureed)
1 medium zucchini (grated)
2 carrots (grated)
In the hot oil, saute the garlic and onions.
Add the turkey with the fennel seeds and sage
(Sue says it gives of flavor of a sausage), salt
and pepper. Cook until turkey is done. Add
the tomato paste and the tomatoes and simmer
uncovered for 2 1/2 hours. She also used two
pounds of pasta.
When all the votes were taken, I still think
it was a tie. 1 just had to vote that way.

Wollaston Beach.
Clasby, also, said that city
officials had expected to
continue negotiations with
the former tenant until
Beechwood on the Bay, Inc.,
announced the August date
of departure.
In May, Clasby told city
councillors that he planned
to expand COA offerings at
the new site. He said the new
programs will include a
congregate meal site, a
computer-training lab, game
room, movies, library
services, a music room,
putting green and bocce court.
Earlier this week, Clasby
said his department already
offers a dozen services to
7000 of the city's 18,000
senior citizens. The COA
offices are currently located
at 83 Saratoga St., North
Quincy, at the former naval
base.
These include
transportation, legal aid, eye,
foot, and hearing screening,
and educational
presentations. The COA
operates 11 transportation
vans.
Up until now, dozens of
COA programs were offered
at community sites, such as
hbraries or halls. Many of
these will now be conducted
in the one location, Clasby
said.
"Our services are available
to all 18,000 seniors," Clasby
said, adding that other COA
directors tell him, "Their
numbers increase, (with new
senior centers). If we build it,
they will come."
Clasby said that supporters
of the move include Edward
Flynn, Executive Director of
South Shore Elder Services,
Inc., who wrote a May letter
supporting the proposal.
"I believe that the location
that he (Koch) has chosen is
a good one and will work
well for Quincy seniors,"
stated Flynn in that letter.
Flynn, also, offered to
increase the SSES nutrition
program at the new site. SSES
provides hot meals and
services throughout the South
Shore.
Clasby expects his
department's van services
will fit well into the new
center's operation and
planning.

It's A Body? No It Isn't
The peace and serenity
that marks the Bay Pointe
Marina in Quincy Point was
shattered by a brief period of
excitement last week.
The worker at Sea Crest
Marine thought the object
floating in Town River Bay
late Friday afternoon might
be a human body or at least
parts thereof.
So he called police.
The cops weren't sure, ei-
ther.
Chief Paul Keenan said
only that it looked like "tis-
sue or organs." But whose?
Or what's?
They decided to err on the
side of caution.
So they called the state
medical examiner.
With no one else left to
call, the ME ruled that the
remains were probably those
of a pig or a fish.
Case closed.

"We got to see a lot of old
friends and met plenty of new
ones. It's these kind of com-
munity events, where we can
get together for a little fun,
that make Quincy such a
great place."
As the weather broke,
kids played on Moonwalks
and bocce and volleyball
courts were packed with
players. More than two-
dozen volunteers coordinated
the event, which Koch started
as a mayoral candidate last
year and plans to make an
annual event.
"The volunteers, as usual,
did an incredible job, and we
all had a wonderful time,"
said Koch. "While we were
all there to have a good time,
it was great to talk to so many
people about their concerns
and hopes for the city's di-
rection. I am looking forward
to doing it again."

Health Care Measure Passes House, Senate
The State House and Sen-
ate have agreed on compre-
hensive legislation aimed at
bringing down escalating
health care costs and creat-
ing greater access to primary
care.
The bill authorizes the at-
torney general to hold an an-
nual public hearing with
health care providers and in-
surers to investigate and re-
port on health care costs and
make cost reduction recom-
mendations.
It also creates a IS-mem-
ber Special Commission on
Health Payment Reform to
probe the current payment
system and make recommen-
dations for restructuring no
later than April 1,2009.
"The legislation promotes
the modernization of the
health care system to reduce
waste and improve quality
care, establishing the Com-
monwealth as a national
leader in the statewide adop-
tion of electronic medical
records and uniform billing,"
said Sen. Michael Morrissey.
'Together, this could save
the Commonwealth hun-
dreds of millions of dollars."
All that is needed for the
measure to become law is the
governor's signature.

a great success" said Jenny
La the Festival co-chair.
"Their woric is a reflection of
the growth of the Asian
Community in the area and
their sense of community
pride."
The Quincy August Moon
Festival started as a small
event at the Wollaston
Lutheran Church parking lot
and grew to one of thousands
at Presidents Plaza and Kam
Man Marketplace. Now in
Quincy Center, the festival
continues to grow and enter-
tain the entire city.
As a family event, the fes-
tival will offer entertainment
for all ages. There will be
performances of Chinese,
Filipino and Indian music
and dance and exhibits fea-
turing the work of local
Asian artists.
The festival will also fea-

nese Taiko Drunmiing and

gust Moon Festival.
"We are grateful for the

John Brothers, executive di-

"With their invaluable
support, we hope to build on
the success of our previous
festivals to bring together the
community to celebrate and
increase awareness of Asian
cultures, and better serve the
needs of Quincy's Asian-
American Community."
August Moon is one of the
two most important hohdays
on the Lunar Calendar and
celebrates abundance and
togetherness. The annual
Quincy August Moon Festi-
val shares this message by
bringing famihes together
from the local and South
Shore community to learn
more about Asian cultures in
a day filled with fun and en-
tertainment.

MORTON'S NEUROMA
Morton's neuroma is a thick- with nerve problems, bunions,
ening of nerve tissues in the
toes. This enlarged nerve usu-
ally grows in the web between
the third and fourth toes. The
reason the nerve enlarges has
not been determined. People
with Morton's neuroma often
experience shooting pains that
extend into the toe next to the
neuroma. An x-ray should be
taken to ensure there is not a
fracture. The pain of the neu-
roma becomes more severe
with strenuous activity or when
wearing shows that are too tight
in the toe area. Treatment of
this condition usually starts with
trying to decrease pain in the
area of the growth. In most
cases, initial treafrnent consists
of padding and taping to dis-
perse weight away from the
neuroma.
No one should ignore foot
pain. Whether you're dealing
sports injuries, fungal infections,
or digital disorders, professional
attention is the best assurance
of a speedy recovery and pre-
vention of future consequences.
We are committed to delivering
the most current state-of-the art

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
By Mike and Cyndy Cotter
Since the first curbside recycling programs
began in this country m(x« than 25 years ago, we all
learned to sqsvate our belles and cars. Now with
City of Quincy 's new 'single stream' collection we
can toss all recyclables into oii« container labeled
with the bumper sticker you received in the mail.
But responsible waste management also
encompasses an ovo^l strategy for dealing with
consumerism, which can be summed up in the
familiar phrase **reduce, reuse, recycle."
The state of both the economy and the
environment should inspire all of us to revisit the
thinking behind these words. As the phrase implies,
the first and most important step in waste reduction
is reducing consumption The average American
produces twice as much garbage as the average
European. If we all make choices that don't generate
garbage in the first place, we^ll keep our world
cleaner and leave enough resources for future
generations. BefcM-e you buy an item, pause to think
about whether you really need it. Can you borrow it
or barter something for it? Can you buy it used? If
so, pursue that option. Consider Craig's List or E>
Bay. If you must buy it new, consido* implementing
a 7- to 28-day waiting poiod for all purchases, other
than everyday necessities. You'll be amazed at how
much you can cut down on impulse spending, and
the money you save can be put toward investments
for your fiiture.
Aito- you've reduced your consumption, pursue
every opportunity you can to reuse or recycle items
you'd otherwise be t^npted to throw away. For
example, when your pers(»ial computer becomes
obsolete, it mi^ seem like the only alternative is to
throw it away. Many charities, such as the
Computer for Schools program, accqpt donations of
old PCs (800/9396000), www.pcsforschools.org Or,
if your PC is so old no one will take it off your
hands, you can pay IBM $29.99 to recycle your
machine (888/SHOP-IBM, www.ibm.com). Either
way, you get the peace of mind of knowing that the
toxic chemicals in your old PC aren't leaking into
the air and ground in a landfill. For a comprdiensive
database of national computer donation and
recycling centers, visit www.eiae.org.
In short, when you're about to throw something
in the trash, consider other attonattves first. Used
goods such as bicycles (Morgan Memorial) and
eyeglasses (Lyons Club) are collected by charities
and can be reused by others. Household items
including leftover paint, old carpet, and
manufacturers can often be recycled. Again consider
www.craigslistcom or www.freecycle.org fcsr Tree'
items that may be still usable to someone else that
you are just putting out with your trash. You can
also have re-usable p(»t-renovation construction
items (windows, lumber, usable appliarK^es, etc)
picked up by Boston Building Materials Co-op,
www.bbmc.com Tel: 617-442-2262. For a
comprehoisive list of recyclable items, sorted by
ZIP code, contact Earth 91 1, a public-private
partno^hip devoted to making recycling easier and
more accessible for all at 1 800/CLEANUP, or

Last week, some 23
youths from the South Shore
YMCA enjoyed a four-hour
tour of Boston Harbor
Islands, thanks to their guides
from Save the Harbor/Save
the Bay (SHSB).
ThetripispartofSHSB'S
"All Access Boston Harbor,"
a free summer program , that,
this year, offered 5,000
Boston-area youth from 68
communities the opportunity
to explore the Harbor Islands.
At the same time, they
learn first-hand about the
marine environment and the
history of Boston Harbor.
The youngsters boarded
their boat, the Virginia C, at
Bank of America Pavilion
after a morning of singing
and practice games on the
pavilion. They sang sea
shanties and hauled lobster
traps before setting sail.
On Georges Island, the
youngsters explored the Civil
War fort with its eerie tunnels,
cannons and parade grounds.
Marine historian David
Coffin lead the historic tour
through Fort Warren, telling
tales, such as the story of the
'lady in black,' a woman who
is said to haunt the island.
Visitors can also
investigate the shore and the
island through beach rack
walks with Save The
Harbor's marine educators
who engage in scavenger
hunts and help participants
identify different types of
marine life and sea-shells,
such as Asian Shore Crabs,
green crabs and periwinkles.
The SHSB programs
introducing young people to
these resources are a special
source of pride for the group' s
members.
"Kids from every
neighborhood deserve an
opportunity to experience
Boston' s great harbor and our
island park first-hand," said
Save the Harbor President
Patricia Foley.
"We are glad to be able to
share these remarkable
resources with young people
who we hope will become
the *Harbor Stewards' of the
future." Foley said.
This year, SHSB will also
include trips to Spectacle
Island where the youngsters
can engage in active
recreation, such as
swimming, kite flying, hiidng
and nature walks.
The "All Access"
founding corporate partner
is the Bank of America
Pavilion. The program also
enjoys financial support from
the region ' s local foundations
and corporations as well as
hundreds of individual
donors.
Save The Harbor/Save the
Bay is a non-profit, pubUc
interest, environmental
advocacy organization
whose mission is to restore
and protect Boston Harbor
and Massachusetts. Bay for
everyone to enjoy.
In the past eight years,
SHSB has introduced over
15,000 young people to the
Harbor Islands.

The environmental efforts
of Ward 1 City Councillor
Leo Kelly earned for him an
Honorary Friend Award from
the Friends of Wollaston
Beach at the recent Arts on
the Shore event.
A crowd estimated by
park rangers at 1 ,500 adults
and children attended the
event which included an
amateur sand castle compe-
tition, a sidewalk chalk fes-
tival and art displays.
Kelly, the third recipient
of the award after historian
Tom Galvin and former
Mayor Frank McCauley, was
recognized for his continued
commitment to Quincy's
shoreline and beaches.
"For four decades, Leo
Kelly has been a true cham-
pion for environmental is-
sues, including Quincy's
coastal resources," said Ward
5 Councillor Doug Gutro, the
presenter.
"In the 70s and 80s he
battled to stop chronic sewer
overflows from Nut Island .
. . in the 90s and through to-
day he has led Quincy
Beaches and Coastal Com-
mission and improved the
city's 13 pubhc beaches."
Neil McCole, president of
the Friends of Wollaston
Beach, said his group "plans
to continue with the Honor-
ary Friend Awards as the
2008 beach season contin-
ues."
He noted that the year has
been designated the 100"" an-
niversary of Wollaston
Beach, adding "this is a spe-
cial year for Wollaston Beach
and a perfect time to recog-
nize those who have long had
a passion for the beach."
Highlight of the Arts on
the Shore event was the work
of the master sculptor Fitzy
Snowman Sculpting of
Saugus, who built a 15-foot
custom sand castle.
The festival was a col-
laborative effort of the
Friends of Wollaston Beach,
the Quincy Beaches and
Coastal Commission, the
Quincy Art Association, the
city of Quincy and the State
Department of Conservation
and Recreation.
It was made possible by a
grant from the Save the Har-
bor/Save the Bay's Better
Beaches Program, the Uni-
versity of Phoenix-MA
Campus, Tony's Clam Shop
and Councillor Gutro.
McCole also had a word
of thanks for Sharron Beals,
Maryanne Mahoney and the
staff of the now-defunct
Beechwood on the Bay,
whose "hospitality and gen-
erosity were a big part of our
success in 2008 from
monthly meeting to events."

A Job Well Done
On Monday, July 28, 2008 at approximately 2:20
P.M., numerous Officers
were dispatched to the East-
em Bank located at 63 Frank-
lin Street for a report of an
armed robbery that had just
occurred. As the Officers
arrived and began the search
of the area. Sergeant Sean
Duggan and Officer Wil-
liam Lanergan went directly
to the bank to get informa-
tion about the suspect.
Information was given
out about the suspect's
physical and clothing description, that he was wearing a
ball cap and jacket, last seen headed towards Braintree.
The other units checking the area were Officers' Paul
Foley, Joe McGunigle, Paul Holland, Matt Tobin, Jim
Dentremont and Paul Jackson.
After interviewing the Teller, it was learned that the
suspect approached her window and handed her a note.
The note, later recovered read, "This is a stic up - 1 have
a gun and will use it at will - no dye packs 5,000 in bag".
The Teller complied with the note and handed over ap-
proximately $2,000.00 to $4,000.00 in mostiy 50's,
20's and lO's. According to the Teller and other witness-
es, the suspect lefr the bank in an unknown direction with
the money in a Dunkin Donuts bag. At that time, anoth-
er witness who works at Alfredo's Restaurant located at
77 Franklin Street (directiy next door to Eastern Bank)
entered the bank and stated she needed to speak with
the police. She said that a white male had just ordered
three beers and an order of ravioli and left without pay-
ing (total bill approximately $17.00). She said that a
few minutes later she observed the same man walking
past Alfredo's and pull off a gray jacket, exposing a
red shirt. She said that he was headed towards Braintree
and when she learned that the bank had been robbed,
she informed Officers at the bank. Detective Lieuten-
ant Patrick Glynn, along with Detectives Ralph Willard,
Mike Ward and William Monteith arrived at the bank to
process the scene. Detective Monteith and Officer Lan-
ergan further interviewed the restaurant employee, who
said that the suspect had started talking to her in the bar
and seemed distraught. The suspect informed her that his
mother had passed four days ago and that his father
owned a comer Store in Boston before selling it. The
suspect also informed her that his name was Scott and
that he lived on Copeland Street. Detectives followed
this lead and were able to determine the full name of the
suspect's father who owned the comer store. She added
that she was upset when the suspect left without paying
and was about to call the police regarding the incident but
before she could the bank was robbed. A review of the
banks video surveillance footage showed the suspect as
a white male approximately 35-44 years old, wearing a
gray fleece jacket, khaki tan pants, white sneakers with
black stripes and a blue ball cap with the old New Eng-
land Patriots logo on it. Witness accounts also indicated
that the suspect was missing front teeth. An updated
description was given to all the police units checking
the area.
Officer Foley was on Federal Avenue and was ap-
proached by a concerned citizen who asked for an updat-
ed description and she stated she would call the police if
she saw the suspect. After several minutes of check-
ing the area. Communications notified the units in the
area of the bank that a caller (the concerned citizen) had
just observed a suspect that matched the description in the
area of Federal Avenue going towards Goddard Street.
She said that he matched the clothing description and
to be sure it was him, she smiled at him and he smiled
back, revealing missing teeth. Moments later, one of the
Officers on a bicycle checking yards on Independence
Avenue saw the suspect peer up and down Independence
Avenue, as if looking for police cruisers. The suspect
then ran across the street and into the CVS Pharmacy lo-
cated at 22 Independence Avenue. Seconds later, Quin-
cy Police cruisers converged on the store. Officers' Den-
tremont, Holland, Foley and Lanergan went into CVS
and spotted the suspect walking across the front of the
store. Officer Lanergan immediately recognized him
from the bank robbery surveillance video and as the
Officers approached the suspect, he placed his hand in
his pockets. Due to the fact that the suspect mentioned
a gun in his robbery note. Officers on scene ordered the
suspect to show his hands but he refused to comply,
so the Officers rushed the suspect and took him to the

, Some kind of critter,
.or maybe a debris
I bent back and heav-
ily damaged some of the
metal coverings around
the base of m>^ home's
chimney. I can't get it to
bend back smoothly. Does
it have to be replaced? —
George L., Hartford, Conn.
A, Replacement is the
• best way to ensure a
tightly sealed joint. Roof
flashing is important
becau.se these strips of meiaJ
help prevent rainwater from
entering the seams where
roof elements meet and
direct that water away to the
gutter system. Damage to
this material can lead to
leaky roofs and water dam-
age inside the home, so
maintaining it is important.
In the case of chimney
flashing, the metal strips are
bent inward to match the
comer angle between the
chimney base and the roof,
and are "stepped" down-
ward, one overlapping the
next, so water sluices away
from the joint.
Use the same type of metal
as the original when replac-
ing flashing — dissimilar
metals will corrode where
they meet. And while alu-
minum is a common flash-
ing material, chimney flash-
ing is (or should be) either
galvanized steel or copper,
which resist corrosion from
the lime in the chimney mor-
tar. Ste^l or copper sheet
metal is quite difficult to cut
and bend to the correct angle
of the roof, so look for a step
flashing kit at the home
improvement store, or con-
sider ordering pre-bent step
flashing (also called "shin-
gle tins") from a sheet metal
shop or a roofing company.
To replace the damaged
flashing, bend up any flash-
ing that covers it and cut
through roofing cement
seals with a utility knife.
Pull shingles away from the
flashing base. Remove the
damaged flashing (a pry bar
helps here). Ensure the new
flashing fits, and then apply
roofing cement to the edges
that will contact the chimney
and roof. Slip it into place,
and drive one roofing nail
downward into the roof deck
(not into the chimney).
Reposition the shingles and
overlapping flashing, and
reseal with roofing cement.

Is Strength
Training Really
Necessary?
9. My workout routine
• cronsists of walking
occasionally riding my
bicycle on a trail near my
home. I work out three to
four days a week, and I feel
great. Over the years I
have tried to do strength
training as well, but I am
not as excited about litting
weights as I am about the
cardio exercises. Ls it really
necessary to do strength-
training exercises, or can I
stick with my favorites?
A, Each type of workout
• has specific objec-
tives, and all work together
to keep the body in the best
shape possible. Leaving one
area, such as strength train-
ing, out of the plan can keep
you from truly reaching your
body's maximum potential.
You are not alone, as many
people choose to complete
only one type of exercise
because they enjoy it much
more than another. Cardio-
vascular exercise suits some
people, while strength and
flexibility training is the
favorites of others. Finding
a balance that you can live
with is the key. You might
not enjoy strength training,
but making it a part of your
workout routine could allow
you to see things differently.
The benefits of strength
training are extensive. Rea-
sons to add a strengih-u^in-
ing routine to your weekly
workouU include reducing
the signs of medical condi-
tions such as diabetes, osteo-
porosis, obesity, arthritis and
depression, strengthening
your muscles and bones,
maintaining proper weight
and body-fat percentages,
maintaining your body's
ability to balance, and even
sleeping beuer.
Adding strength training to
your workout does not mean
you have to change what you
are already doing. Start by
adding a few exercises inter-
mittently while you walk.
You might walk a mile, then
stop to do lunges or squats
for a few minutes before
proceeding with your work-
out. If there are stairs nearby,
completing a few sets of
steps to help strengthen your
legs would be a great way to
incorporate the two.
Exercises that don't require
equipment can be a great
way to start. Lunges, squats,
push-ups and step-ups. to
name just a few, arc exercises
you can complete before,
duri ng or even after your car-
diovascular workout. Start
by adding just a few exercis-
es and then progress.
The use of exercise tubes
also can be a great way to
complete many different
strength-training exercises
without the need for a large
space. Exercise bands can be
used under your feet while
holding the handles to work
the shoulder and arm mus-
cks, and when attached to a
solid, secure structure can
allow you to work the mus-
cles of your chest and back.
Each band is compact and
easy to store or carry, mak-
ing it a great way to bring
together your cardiovascular
and strength exercises.
Again, begin small and
progress slowly, and you
may find a new favorite.
Always consult a physi-
cian before beginning an
exercise program. If you
have a fitness or training
question, write to Andrea in

A MOTHER'S SACRIFICE?
Recent research seems
to lend some credibility to
the notion that motherhood
robs women of their teeth.
According to analysis of data
involving 2,635 women In the
United States aqed 18 to 64
years, women who gave birth
to more children tended to
lose more teeth. This was
found to be true regardless of
socioeconomic status. A prob-
able cause for the Increase
in tooth loss among mothers
Is the gingivitis that women
are more prone to during
pregnancy. If left untreated,
this buildup In bacteria be-
tween the teeth and gums
can lead to more serious
gum disease and, eventually
tooth loss. Moreover, women
may be less likely to visit
the dentist while pregnant.
Being a woman is extraor-
dinary, fun and fulfilling, but
it's not always easy. A wom-
an's body goes through so
many changes that qood oral
hygiene Is especially impor-
tant. In addition to comfort-
able relaxing surroundings
and timely and efficient ser-
vice, we offer superior clini-
cal care, whether it's a tooth
cleaning or a total make over

leaf Street today and see for

dence. We offer the sen/Ices

siologist. Visit us on the web

P.S. Pregnancy brings
hormonal changes that
are linked to an increase
in the plaque on teeth, if
not removed with flossing
and brushing, can lead to
gum disease.
Five Parenting Pointers To Help Provide
Your Baby With A Head Start In Life
(ARA) - If you are like
many new parents out there,
there's nothing you wouldn't
do to provide your baby with
the best start in life. Time,
effort, expense ~ no matter
what it takes, you are com-
mitted to allowing nothing
to stand in your child's way.
While a safe and lov-
ing home is one of the most
valuable things we can pro-
vide for our children, five
other parenting pointers
come from Dr. Laura Jana,
pediatrician and co-author of
"Heading Home with Your
Newborn: From Birth to Re-
ality." Dr. Jana's recommen-
dations to parents are given
to help babies grow up to be
"healthy, wealthy and wise."
These pointers don't involve
great sacrifices, going to ex-
tremes, or even spending a
lot of money. Their impact,
however, is guaranteed to be
invaluable.
Breast milk -- the true
first breakfast of champi-
ons
Commonly referred to as
the ideal food for babies and
recommended throughout
the entire first year of life
by the American Academy
of Pediatrics, breast milk
has risen to its current level
of popularity for very good
reason. Breast milk has the
unrivaled ability to provide
babies with a nearly perfect
mix of valuable nutrients.

Calling All
Octogenarians
If you are age 79 or older
and have a sibling at least
that age, the National Insti-
tute on Aging is looking for
you. The Long Life Family
Study is about to begin, and
it's looking for as many fam-
ilies as possible to try to
learn ^why certain people live
so long.
If you become part of the
study, you'll have a two-
hour interview either at your
home or at a clinic, and a
blood sample will be taken.
You'll be given a physical
assessment (nothing too
hard), and you'll be paid $25
for participating. Afterward,
you'll get the results of your
blood sample. The institute
will even send the results to
your doctor, if you wish. All
of the information will be
kept confidential. It seems
they've thought of every-
thing to make us comfort-
able about participating.
While researchers hope to
find volunteers within a
three-hour drive of Pitts-
burgh, Bost(H) or New York,
Factor in the added ben-
efits of passing along extra
protection against infection
and allowing for plenty of
built-in time to bond with
your baby, and it's easy to
see how breastfeeding is un-
questionably one of the best
ways to give your baby a
head start in life.
Alphabet soup ~ boost-
ing your baby's brain pow-
er with DHA and ARA
From day one, we find
ourselves on a parental quest
to provide our children with
nothing but the best - tak-
ing every opportunity we
can to foster good hearts
and sound minds. Enter the
omega fatty acids DHA and
ARA. Thought to be impor-
tant nutrients for infant brain
and eye development and
function ~ not to mention
DHA's strong association
with heart health - and it is
no surprise that these essen-
tial fatty acids have found
their way to the heart of the
discussion when it comes to
infant nutrition and health.
And with a body of support-
ing evidence that seems to
be growing nearly as rap-
idly as your baby, there is
every reason to believe that
including these fatty acids
in your baby's diet is one
of the easiest and smartest
ways to get your baby start-
ed on the fast track to life-
long good health. Fortimate-

Books for babies ~ read
all about it
Instilling in your child an
early love of reading, and
simply savoring the time
you spend reading books
together each day, can be-
stow upon you the magical
ability to open your child's
heart and mind to the world
around her. It is often said
that children spend the first
several years learning to
read, and the rest of their
lives reading to learn. Sure,
stray drool and teeth marks
will inevitably find their
way onto the scene at first,
but that's the reason board
books were created! While
you are waiting for your
child's page-turning skills
to develop and attention
span to grow, take heart in
the fact that reading aloud to
even the youngest of babies
can offer rich rewards. With
each turn of the page you
share, you will be helping
your child take one small
baby step toward lifelong
success ,A5 even when the
pages are upside down and
flipped back and forth out of
sequence.
Take a TV timeout
There is no doubt in any-
one's mind that the first few
years of a child's life are
crucial when it comes to the
growth and development of
his brain, so it is fortunate
that parents are afforded the
opportunity to shape their
child's experiences and
control what he is exposed
to. That said, be aware that
your television runs the
risk of overshadowing your
efforts. No doubt about
it, television watching is
tempting, even for the very
young. While high-quality,
educational television de-
signed specifically for chil-
dren may well prove to be a
positive resource, too much
of what today's children are
allowed to watch is accom-
panied by constant exposure

to an adult world of "sex,

lence and a dizzying array
of tantalizing commercials),
making TV a veritable par-
enting minefield. Until more
research determines the ef-
fect that television watching
has on young children, the
American Academy of Pe-
diatrics continues to stand
behind its reconunendation
of no television for children
under the age of two. If you
do on occasion choose to
tune your toddler into tele-
vision, make it a point to
guide your child each step
of the way by choosing age-

experience more interactive
by watching alongside your
child and discussing what
you watch.
Car seats - handling

After committing our-
selves to doing our best
when it comes to feeding,
reading to, playing with,
and comforting our children
from the day they are bom, it
only makes sense that we'd
want to do everything in our
power to protect their safety.
And given that today's par-
ent spends more time than
ever on the road and on the
go, it should come as no sur-
prise that selecting and prop-
erly securing your infant in a
car seat rounds out this list.
Which car seat is best? The
one that fits your baby, that
fits securely in your car, and
that you will commit to us-
ing correctly each and every
time your baby is in the car.
And for those of you truly
committed to giving your
baby a true head start in life,
be aware that by following
the current reconmiendation
to keep your baby rear fac-
ing for as long as possible as
determined by the limits of
the car seat (but until at least
one year and 20 pounds) and
by looking for a seat with
added side impact protec-
tion, you are providing your
baby with extra head protec-
tion and therefore, protect-
ing your most valuable in-
vestment.

Play Starts Saturday
Quincy Ready
For Babe Ruth
World Series
2008 Babe Ruth Baseball 1^ Year-ad World Series
Southeast Midwest Plains

Host: Quincy, Massachusetts

By SEAN BRENNAN
The Babe Ruth World Se-
ries is heading back to
Quincy.
For the third time in six
years, ten teams from nine
different states will descend
on Adams Field this Saturday
looking to become kings of
the 14-year-old baseball
world.
This seven-day, 25-game
toumament will feature some
of the best baseball players
from Massachusetts, Con-
necticut, New York, Florida,
Ohio, Texas, California,
North Dakota and Washing-
ton, and it all kicks off later
this week as Quincy plays
host once again to this annual
event.
The main storyline for
many area residents will be
the play and performance of
the host team, the 14-year-
old Quincy Babe Ruth rep-
resentative. Making a third
appearance on the national
stage, Quincy will be look-
ing to show the rest of the
field that baseball is as strong
and competitive here in Mas-
sachusetts as it is in the base-
ball hotbeds like Texas,
Florida and California.
The 16-member Quincy
team consists of some of the
best young players in the city.
The team, under the direction
of manager Dick Lombardi,
has been preparing for this
one-in-a-lifetime moment
since the beginning of June,
and the time spent this sum-
mer practicing and preparing
for this toumament should
prepare Quincy for the strong
competition they are going to
face starting Saturday night.
"We held tryouts in the
beginning of June and since
then we have been practicing
hard trying to get ready for
the World Series," said
Lombardi last week at
Merrymount Park. "This
group of kids have worked
hard, always coming to prac-
tice, and our goal is to be a
competitive team who plays
the game right.
"At this age and at this
stage of baseball develop-
ment, it sometimes doesn't
feel like you are watching 14-
year-olds play. This team
understands that this is going
to be a tough toumament to
play in but over the last two
months; this group of
ballplayers has grown closer
as a team and has become
more mature. That maturity

7 p.m. Friday At Boston Quincy Marriott
Former Major League Pitcher
Tommy John Banquet Speaker
Quincy Ready For World Series
Former Major League
pitcher Tommy John will
serve as guest speaker at the
2008 14- Year-Old Babe Ruth
World Series 'Banquet of
Champions' Friday night
(August 15) at 7 p.m. at the
Boston Quincy Marriott.
The Terre Haute, Indiana
native was only 20 years old
when he made his major
league debut for the Cleve-
land Indians on Sept. 6, 1963.
Over the next 26 years, John
played for the Yankees,
Dodgers^ Angels and White
Sox.
He appeared in four all-
star games; he played in four
World Series games and fin-
ished his career with three
20-win seasons.
John is best known for de-
fying nature when he re-
turned to baseball following
reconstructive elbow surgery
during the 1974 season. In
fact, the surgical procedure
used on John is now referred
to in sports as the 'Tonmiy
John Surgery." Many current
MLB players including
Kerry Wood from the Chi-
cago Cubs and John Smoltz
from the Atlanta Braves have
undergone the 'Tommy John
Surgery."
TOMMY JOHN
John began his playing
career playing for the Cleve-
land Indians. He went 0-2 for
the Indians in 1963 and was
2-9 in 1964. After two disap-
in his left pitching arm had
to be reconstructed or he
would never pitch in the ma-
jor leagues again. He under-
went the surgery known as
'Tonmiy John Surgery" and
came back in 1976 to post a
10-10 record.
John proved that serious
physical problems would not
suppress the determined
spirit of a fierce competitor.
He was awarded the Hutch
Award in 1975 for displaying
honor, courage and dedica-
tion to baseball both on and
off the field.
He is currently the active
Field Manager for the
pointing seasons, John was Bridgeport Bluefish Profes-
traded to the Chicago White sional Baseball Club (CT), a
Sox where he played seven
seasons.
He was traded for a sec-
ond time in 1972 to the Los
Angeles Dodgers, and in
1974 he was having his best
charter team in the Atlantic
League of Professional Base-
ball. The Bluefish hold the
record for having drawn one
million fans faster than any
team in Connecticut minor

is the biggest thing these kids
have going for them."
With the charged atmo-
sphere and an expected
crowd in the tens of thou-
sands over the course of the
week, Quincy, and for that
matter the rest of the field,
will be thrust onto the na-
tional stage, and with this
added pressure. Baseball 101
is going to be the difference
between winning and losing.
"The talent that all these
teams possess is high," added
Lombardi. "They are the best
14-year-old players in the
country and if you don't play
fundamental ball you can be
in for some trouble.
"But my team has worked
hard to become better not
only at the plate but in the
field and on the mound as
well. Over the past few
weeks we have started hitting
as a team, so if we can con-
tinue to play the good de-
fense I know we are capable
of and if we pitch up to our
abilities, we should be com-
petitive with everyone.
"But the coaching staff is
also trying to remind the
team that this is not about just
wins and losses. As long as
we play the game right we
are going to be successfijl."
For the members of the
Quincy team the World Se-
ries is something many of
them could only dream of
playing in six years ago.
Many of them came to
Adams Field with their fami-
lies to cheer on the 2003 and
2005 teams, and that experi-
ence was something none of
them could forget.
"I just remember being
there and watching the best
of the best play at Adams
Field and it made me want to
play in a World Series my-
self," said centerfielder/
pitcher Tim Liuzzo. "I think
if we play as a team and fo-
cus on defense first we
should do well."
'The World Series is go-
ing to be unbelievable,"
added second baseman Adam
Nazzaro. "It will be a thrill-
ing atmosphere during the
games and we have been
looking forward to this all
summer long."
Ah, summer.
Most 14-year-olds spend
the summer between junior
high and high school or ninth
grade and tenth grade enjoy-
ing their time off before
school starts up again, but
these 14-year-olds have been
workmanlike in their prepa-
ration; spending most of the
past nine weeks playing
baseball like it was their sum-
mertime job.
"We have practiced and
played hard all sunmier and
now we are ready to play for
real," said catcher/3B An-
drew Fonte.
"It has been baseball ev-
eryday this summer, some-
times six out of seven days a
week," added shortstop Mike
Stille. "But this team can do
it. We have the offense, de-
fense and pitching to win
some games and that is what
we are going to accomplish."
For Lombardi and his as-
sistant coaches George
Higgins and Tony Alibrandi
the effort their team has put
in during the summer has
been off the charts.
"These kids don*t shy
away from pressure and hard
woik," said Lombardi. "They
understand that this opportu-
nity does not come around
often and only a select few
get to take part. They have
given 100% since Day One."
"These guys have been re-
lentless in their preparation,"
added Higgins. "I am proud
of all of them. They have be-
come more aggressive at the
plate and have improved as
a team since June."
Quincy is a loaded team
when it comes to depth on the
field, in the bullpen and on
the bench. All sixteen mem-
bers of the 2008 team should
make an impact sometime
during the tournament, and it
all starts on the mound.
Up to seven players may
see time on the hill includ-
ing Liuzzo, Nazzaro, Lukas
McDonough, Zach Steams,
Josue Ordonez, Joe
Alibrandi, Mike Stille and
Eddie McDonough.
"I would feel confident
with any of these pitchers in
a big spot," said Lombardi.
"I think once the get over the
excitement and nerves of
pitching on a big stage all of
them should do well. They
have to try and keep their
composure, but we have
plenty of pitching."
Quincy's offense and de-
fense should also be
strengths in this World Se-
ries.
In the infield Alibrandi,
Fonte, Nazzaro, Stille,
Ordonez, Justin Coscia,
Torrey Gustin, Bob
Kozlowski, Sam Lawlor,
Kevin White, Dennis
Sulhvan and Dan Higgins
offer solid defense and strong
batting eyes to the equation.
In the outfield Liuzzo, E.
McDonough, L.
McDonough, Steams, Stille,
Gustin and Lawlor hold
down the fort.
"Our overall defense has
gotten better since June,"
said Lombardi. "And all
these kids can also hit the ball
all over the field. We are not
too worried about putting up
mns, so the fielding and de-
fense has been a major focal
point in our preparation."
As the host team, Quincy
is scheduled to play all four
of their pool play games in
primetime. On Saturday at 8
p.m. Quincy will open the
2008 14-Year-Old Babe Ruth
World Series against the
Southeast Regional cham-
pion from Tallahassee,
Florida; their second game is
at 8 p.m. on Sunday night
versus the Midwest Plains
champion from West Fargo,
North Dakota; their third
game is August 18 at 8 p.m.
versus Syracuse, New York
the Middle Atlantic cham-
pion and Quincy closes pool
play August 20 at 8 p.m.
against Palo Alto, California
the representative from the
Pacific Southwest.
"Playing every game at 8
p.m. should be exciting but
at the same time these games
are probably some of the
most watched games of the
series," said Lombardi. "You
can't complain about that.
The eight o'clock starting
times will put us in the spot-
hght and it will give these
kids a chance to show what
they got.
"We are ready."
For the city of Quincy the
third time is a charm. The
team maybe anxious to get
started on Saturday, but for
all the behind the scenes vol-
unteers, all the fans and for
the city itself, the preparation
is complete and Uie fun can
begin.
"This is a wonderful
showcase event for our city
and we are all proud to wel-
come so many players, fam-
ily members and fans from
across the country to the
Babe Ruth World Series,"
said Quincy Mayor Thomas
Koch. "I wish to thank all of
the volunteers who make this
event possible. Their hard
work and dedication is a
great testament to Quincy
and its people,"
Like the team that proudly
wears its namesake, the City
of Presidents is just as ready
for the 2008 Babe Ruth
World Series to begin.

Dedicated Volunteers Are The
Backbone Of The Babe Ruth WS
By SEAN BRENNAN
The first two times that the
14- Year-Old Babe Ruth
World Series came to Quincy
(2003, 2005) more than
60,000 visitors came to
Adams Field to celebrate
baseball and lend their sup-
port to teams from across the
country and globe.
This year's event (August
16-23) is expected to con-
tinue that sense of commu-
nity involvement and love for
the game and none of this it
would have happened if not
for time and effort members
of the 2008 Babe Ruth World

host famiUes and numerous
volunteers who have put in

World Series was held in
Quincy back in 2003.

involved with the World Se-
ries since 2002, the year be-
fore the first Babe Ruth
World Series was held in
Quincy," said John Norton,
Vice President of the 2008
Babe Ruth WS. "Without
their help, effort and time, we
would not be able to put on
the event."
According to Norton, this
year's World Series has be-
tween 150-175 volunteers
who will be at the games,
answering questions and de-
voting their time to making
this year's event even better
than the previous two.
"These volunteers are the
backbone of the World Se-
ries," added Norton. "With-
out them we would not be
able to host this event. The
time and hard work that they
have all been putting in is
what allows us to carry it out
and have it be successful.
"At our last volunteer
meeting (Aug. 11) these vol-
unteers readied the creden-
tials, organized the t-shirts,
booklets etc. and got us ready
to kick it off on Saturday."
With eight out-of-state
teams heading to Quincy at
the end of the week, a large
number of these players will
be staying with host famiUes.
This is one of the most im-
portant aspects of the Quincy
Babe Ruth volunteer pyra-
mid; this year Quincy will
have 33 host families open-
ing their homes and hosting
players from as far away as
California, Washington,
Texas, Ohio, Florida, New
York and Connecticut.
"At this time, we
have 33 host famihes lined
up to help us house players,"
said Norton. "Many of these
families are the same host
families that we had back in
2003 and 2005. Like the
many volunteers that have
signed on to help us, these
families are an integral part
of the process. They help to
give some of these out-of-
state kids a little bit of home
and they help to make things
run smoothly and effi-
ciently."
Along with the volunteers
and host families, members
of the Babe Ruth World Se-
ries Committee have given of
their time and effort for the
past seven years to see that
this event goes off without a
hitch.
"The Conmiittee has been
at this since before the first
World Series came here in
2002," said Norton. "75% of
the original committee is
back for a third time. We
have been meeting regularly
since 2002 getting ready for
this. It helps to have people
who are dedicated and will-
ing to give their time and ef-
fort to see it through.
"This year we have three
parents on the Committee,
Beth Liuzzo, Patricia Steams
and Milan Alibrandi, who
have given us the effort and
time to help us get this mov-
ing forward and the Mayor's
Office has been so support-
ive and helpful to all of our
needs."
Norton singled out the
work of the committee mem-
ber Kathy Bowes.
"Kathy is the one who
works vvith the different par-
ents and families, helping
them find hotel rooms and
answering questions from all
parties. She has been a huge
part of getting us ready for
Saturday."
As of Tuesday, Norton
said that volunteers were still
coming in to the office to
donate their time or ask what
they could do to help out next
week.
"These volunteers have
been so helpful and without
them, as 1 have said, the Babe
Ruth World Series could not
happen. All of us are excited
to see how it turns out."
The following is a list of
the 2008 Babe Ruth World
Series Conmiittee members:
Mayor Thomas P. Koch,
Honorary Chairman; Richard
"Dick" Lombardi, Host
President; John P. Norton,

$20,000 Raised For Jimmy Fund Research
Patrick White Baseball
Tournament A Success
The 8"^ annual Patrick
White Jimmy Fund Tourna-
ment, held Aug. 2-5 at
Adams Field, raised over
$20,000. This brings the
eight-year total of funds
raised to $162,000.
The tournament is played
in memory of Patrick White,
a former Quincy Babe Ruth
baseball player.
There was an outpouring
of support from the commu-
nity as over 50 of Patrick's
teammates, friends, and fam-
ily members volunteered
their time during the event.
These volunteers ran the con-
cession stand, cooked food,
announced games and se-
lected music between in-
nings.
Patrick's sisters, Meghan
and Katie, are scheduled to
deliver a $20,000 check be-
tween 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. this
Friday during WEEI's (850
AM) annual Jimmy Fund
Telethon.
This year's tournament
was the most competitive in
the eight-year history of the
event as no game was de-
cided by more than five runs.
There were two ties.
The 15-year-old team
from Weymouth defeated
Quincy 's 14-year-old team in
the championship game on
August 5.

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) There might still be some
uncertainty about the deci-
sion you made. But a quick
check of the facts should
reassure you that you're
doing the right thing.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) The tidy Taurean needs to
be a little more flexible about
accepting some changes to
those carefully made plans.
You might be pleasantly sur-
prised by what follows.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Consider stepping away
from your concentrated focus
on your new project for a bit
so you can get some perspec-
tive on what you've done and
where you plan to lake it.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) The understandably
angry Crab might not want to
accept the reason why some-
one might have tried to hurt
you. But at least you'll have
an insight into why it hap-
pened.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
There might be some facts
you still need to know before
leaping onto center stage.
Best to move carefully at this
time so that you can observe
what's happening around
you.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) It's a good time to
expand your outlook by get-
ting out and around, whether
you do some long-range trav-
eling or just explore the great
things to see closer to home.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Your wise coun-
sel continues to be needed as
that family situation works
itself out. Meanwhile, the
decisions you made on your
job begin to pay off quite
nicely.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21 ) Your job situa-
tion brightens thanks to all
your hard work. Now, spend
some time repairing a per-
sonal relationship you might
have neglected for too long.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21)
Aspects favor action in the
workplace. Line up your
facts and show your superiors
why you're the one they'ife
looking for.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) Your hard
work pays oft on the job. Per-
sonal relationships can also
benefit from more of your
time and attention. Spend the
weekend with loved ones.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Early feedback
on your project might be dis-
appointing. Bui don't be dis-
couraged. Use it to make
needed adjustments, then
submit it to your superiors
again.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Flattery could lure
the otherwise sensible Fish
into making an unwise deci-
sion. Be careful. All that
praise might be an attempt to
reel you in before you can
learn the facts.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
have a wonderful sense of
who you arc. You are a shin-
ing example to others, help-
ing them believe in them-
selves and what they can do.

Presently pending in the Ordinance Committee of the Quincy City Council.
In Title 8 Health and Safety Add a new chapter:
Chapter 8.44
Regulating the Maintenance of Vacant and Foreclosing Residential Properties

residential property owners, including lenders, trustees, and sen/ice companies, to properly maintain vacant and/or foreclosing properties (ii) regulating the maintenance of vacant and/or
foreclosing, residential properties to prevent blighted and unsecure residences.

to the borrower pursuant to M.G.L. c. 244, s. 17B; or (iii) commencing a foreclosure action on a property in either the Land Court or Norfolk Superior Court.
Local means within twenty (20) driving miles distance of the property in question.
Mortgagee means the creditor, including but not limited to, service companies, lenders in a mortgage agreement and any agent, servant, or employee of the mortgagee, or any succes-
sor in interest and/or assignee of the mortgagee's rights, interests or obligations under the mortgage agreement.
Owner means every person, entity, service company, property manager or real estate broker, who alone or severally with others:
(1) has legal or equitable title to any dwelling, dwelling unit, mobile dwelling unit, or parcel of land, vacant or otherwise, including a mobile home park; or

must state the individual owner's or agent's phone number and mailing address located within the Commonwealth as required by M.G.L. c. 59, s. 57D, M.G.L. c, 156D, s. 5.02, and 950
CMR 113.20. The mailing address may not be a P.O. Box. This registration must also certify that the property was inspected and identify whether the property is vacant at the time of filing.
If the property is vacant, the owner and/or registrant must designate and retain a local individual or local property management company responsible for the security and maintenance of
the property. This designation must state the individual or company's name, phone number, and local mailing address. The mailing address may not be a P.O. Box. If the property is in the
process of foreclosure, then the registration must be received within seven days of the initiation of the foreclosure process as defined in subsection (b). If the Director determines that the
property is vacant and that foreclosure proceedings have not been initiated, the registration must be received within fourteen days of the Director's first citation for improper maintenance.
All property registrations are valid for one calendar year. An annual registration fee of one-hundred dollars and no cents ($100.00) must accompany the registration form. Subsequent
annual registrations and fees are due within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the previous registration and must certify whether the foreclosing and/or foreclosed property remains vacant
or not. A list of all vacant properties registered pursuant to the requirements of this ordinance shall be provided by the Director of Inspectional Services to the Chiefs of the Police and Fire
Departments.
Once the property is no longer vacant or is sold, the owner must provide proof of sale or written notice and proof of occupancy to the Director of the Inspectional Services Department.
8.44.040 Maintenance Requirements

management company must inspect and maintain the property on a monthly basis for the duration of the vacancy.
The property must contain a posting with the name and 24-hour contact phone number of the local individual or property management company responsible for the maintenance. This
sign must be posted on the front of the property so it is clearly visible from the street.
Adherence to this section does not relieve the owner of any applicable obligations set forth in Code regulations. Covenant Conditions and Restrictions and/or Home Owners Association
rules and regulations.
8.44.050 inspections
The Inspectional Services Department shall have the authority and the duty to inspect properties subject to this section for compliance and to issue citations for any violations. The
Inspectional Services Department shall have the discretion to determine when and how such inspections are to be made, provided that their policies are reasonably calculated to ensure
that this section is enforced.
8.44.060 Enforcement and Penalties.
Failure to initially register with the Director is punishable by a fine of three hundred dollars and no cents ($300.00).
If applicable, failure to properly identify the name of the local individual or local property management company is punishable by a fine of three hundred dollars and no cents ($300.00).

8.44.070 Appeal. Any person aggrieved by the requirements of this section or by a decision issued under this section by the Inspectional Services Department, may seek relief in any
court of competent jurisdiction as provided by the laws of the Commonwealth.
8.44.080 Applicability. If any provision of this section imposes greater restrictions or obligations than those imposed by any other general law, special law, regulation, rule, ordinance,
by law, order, or policy then the provisions of this section control.
8.44.090 Regulatory Authority. The Director of the Inspectional Sen/ices Department has the authority to promulgate rules and regulations necessary to implement and enforce this
section.
8.44.100 if any provision of this section is held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction then such provision shall be considered separately and apart from the remaining provi-
sions, which shall remain in full force and effect.
8^.110 Implementation. The provisions of this section are effectively immediately upon passage and all provisions shall be enforced immediately but no monetary fine shall be imposed
pursuant hereto until ninety (90) days after passage.
8.44.120 Notice. A copy of this ordinance is to be posted on the City of Quincy web site. In addition, a copy of this ordinance is to be mailed to all loan institutions, banks, real estate
offices, and management companies located in and/or having legal or equitable interest in residential property located in the City of Quincy.

A Job Well Done
(Cont 'd From Page 20)
ground. After a brief struggle to control tfie suspect's hands,
he was handcuffed. While conducting a search of the sus-
pect, Officer Lanergan discovered a very large amount of
cash stuffed inside both pockets of the suspect. A quick in-
spection of the money showed the cash was held in brown
paper bands, consistent with those used at banks. Officer
Lanergan read the suspect Miranda Rights and asked him
where the gun was.
The suspect answered, "I didn't have a gun, that
was @#$%@#$%". $4,123.00 was recovered from the
suspect. Lieutenant Glynn and the Detectives went back to
the bank and prepared the witnesses for a show up iden-
tification. The suspect was brought to the rear parking lot
of Eastern Bank and when asked to step outside the car and
stand up he stated, "I'm not going back into that bank". As
the suspect stood outside the cruiser, two witnesses posi-
tively identified the suspect as the bank robber. The sus-
pect, a 38-year-old Quincy resident, was transported to the
station on the charges of "Armed Robbery, Defrauding an
Inn Keeper and Knowingly Resisting Arrest".
Detective Willard determined that bank reported that
$4,141.02 had been stolen. $4,123.00 was recovered
from the suspect. Soon after, the robbery note, the jack-
et, the baseball cap and the Dunkin Donuts bag, with the
note were all recovered behind the bank by Detective Ward
and Officer Dentremont. Video from the bank and the CVS
store were taken as evidence too. Back at the station, Of-
ficers' James Cassidy and Ed Bagley began the process of
booking the suspect. The suspect asked them where he

No West Nile Virus
Found Here - So Far
(Cont'd Fmm Page 1)
what kind of shape the bird's
remains are in."
So far this season (June 2
through September) 21 dead
birds found in Massachusetts
have tested positive for West
Nile and 28 groups of mos-
quitos have tested positive
for the virus.
The closest positive birds
to Quincy were found in Bos-
ton (2), Dedham, Needham
and Whitman and the closest
positive mosquito pools in
Boston (4), Brookline (2),
Needham (2) and Abington.
Dead birds, chiefly crows
and jays, should be reported
to the State Department of
Public Health, seven days a
week, 24 hours a day, using
the toll-free line 1-800-
MASS-WNV (or 1-866-627-
7968).
Callers should be ready to
tell the species of the bird, the
date and time of death, street
address where the bird was
found and the condition of

at City Hall. The belfry of historic United First Parish Church appears in the background.

the bird. If the bird is to be
tested, the city's animal con-
. trol officer will transport it to
the state laboratory.
The bird will not be ac-
cepted for testing if it has
been dead for more than 24
hours or shows signs of de-
composition like bulging
eyes, non-intact eyes or the
presence of flies or maggots.
If the bird is ruled not suit-
able for testing, the person
who reported the bird will be
asked to dispose of it, taking
the following precautions:
Never touched the bird
with bare hands. Using
gloves or a shovel, place the
bird in a double plastic bag.
Seal the bag. Place it in the
usual trash receptacle. Wash
hands with soap and water.
West Nile Virus Encepha-
litis is a serious disease in
humans but rarely fatal. Last
year, 3,630 cases were re-
ported nationwide from 43
states with 124 fatalities.
There is no vaccine or spe-
cific treatment for the dis-
ease.
The virus first appeared in
the United States in 1999. It
grows in birds and is trans-
mitted from bird to bird and
from birds to humans by
mosquitos.
Residents can help reduce
the risk of West Nile Virus by
reducing the amount of
standing water around the
house and in the yard.
Dispose of all containers
that can hold water like tin
cans, pots and discarded tires
or drill holes in them to let
the water out, clean clogged
roof gutters, fix holes in
screens, turn over plastic
wading pools and wheel bar-
rows.
Avoid outdoor activities at
dawn and dusk, wear long-
sleeved shirts and long pants
and use mosquito repellent
that contains DEET, covers
arms and legs of children
playing near swamps, cover
babies' play pens and car-
riages with mosquito netting.

Work On Dismantling
'Goliath ' Put On Hold
May Take Six
Months To Find
Crane Cause
By TOM HENSHAW
and LAURA GRIFFIN
Even as the 28-year-old
victim was laid to rest, in-
spectors for OSHA opened
what may become a six-
month investigation of the
partial collapse that halted
temporarily the disman-
tling of the Goliath crane
at the former Fore River
Shipyard.
Robert Harvey of
Weymouth, an ironworker
who was helping to take
down the 370-foot crane for
shipment to its new home in
Rumania, was killed instant-
ly last Thursday when a por-
tion of one of the 150-ton
legs collapsed prematurely.
Norstar LLC, the Seattle-
based construction company
that was hired by Daewoo
Mangalia Heavy Industries,
the new owners of the crane,
suspended dismantling work
until the cause of the mis-
hap that killed Harvey and
injured two others is deter-
mined.
More than 800 persons
filled the pews and stood
around the nave of 600-ca-
paciity St. John the Baptist
Church on School Street for
the funeral Mass for Harvey,
a Quincy Point native who
moved to Weymouth in
the past year with his wife,
Jennifer.
Following the Mass, a
dozen men from Harvey's
union. Ironworkers Local 7,
formed an honor guard on
the church steps, tears lin-
ing their faces as they stood
silently while the casket was
taken from the church to the
somber wail of three bag-
pipes.
"The city of Quincy and
the people of Quincy were
at their best," said the Rev.
Richard Cannon, pastor of
St. John's Church, who cel-
ebrated the Mass assisted
by Deacons Paul Lewis and
Jack Menz.
Quincy police provided
a motorcycle escort lead-
ing a 150-car cortege from
the church to Pine Hill
Cemetery with cruisers
from the Norfolk County
Sheriff's Office bringing up
to the rear.

Why He Wants To Return To Board
Mariano Sees Need To Get
School Buildings On Track
State Rep. Ron Mariano,
who left the job after 1 6 years
three years ago, wants back
on the School Committee to
help straighten out what is
perceived as a school build-
ing problem in Quincy.
"1 thought we had every-
thing settled when I left,"
he told The Quincy Sun.
"We have to finish the new
Quincy High School and
we need to get Central and
Sterling Middle Schools
back on track."

Mariano chose not to run

The post is also being

Mayor Koch said one of

in charge of school construc-
tion projects.
Mariano noted to The Sun
that when the school build-
ing program was started in
Quincy, the state reimburse-
ment was 90 per cent. Now,
he said, it is 60 per cent. He
indicated something might
be done about that.
However, he took a pass
on the second great contro-
versy that has plagued the
schools — the location of
the new regulation track
facility — Faxon Field or
Pageant Field.
""I haven't been part
of the process," he said. "I
would plan to get together
with both sides and listen to
the relative aspects.

Mayor Thomas Koch ap-
pointed Susan O'Connor as
temporary auditor earlier
this month after consulting
with the city's legal depart-
ment, according to Chris
Walker, the mayor's Direc-
tor of Policy. The position
was vacated July 31.
O'Connor is a five-year
veteran of the Audit Depart-
ment with a background of
more than 15 years in bank-
ing and accounting.
"This is temporary until
City Council acts," Walker
said, adding, "We checked
with the legal department.
This is not a position we can
leave (unfilled) comfortably
for any length of time."
Walker noted that the
auditor prepares the payroll
and oversees payments of
city expenditures.
Under Quincy 's by-laws,
the City Auditor is appoint-
ed by a majority vote of the
City Council and the auditor
reports directly to the coun-
cil which establishes his or
her salary and terms of em-
ployment.
However, the City Coun-
cil has been in summer re-
cess since mid-June and
has taken no official action
on filling the position since
their last meeting June 15.
At that time, council-
lors accepted Auditor Rick
Fitzpatrick's resignation ef-
fective July 3 1 . Fitzpatrick
resigned to take a position
with Norfolk County Agri-
cultural School.
"We won't have a meet-
ing until September," Coun-
cil President Jay Davis said
this week, adding that the
council will undertake an
open search for Fitzpatrick's
replacement.
"There'll be a complete
search for an auditor." Da-
vis said.
in the interim, Koch and
several councillors have met
to discuss overhauling the
position to meet the chal-
lenges of the city's $200
million plus annual budget,
according to Walker and
Davis.
"He's had some general
meetings with several of the
councillors," Walker said of
the mayor, adding that any
reorganization is aimed at
"...making the city's finan-
cial operations more effi-
cient."
"The auditor is there to
audit the spending," said
Davis, adding that many
new duties have been added
over the years such as pre-
paring budgets, and payroll
that "should not be done by
the auditor."
Davis said that reorganiz-
ing the position could make
it more efficient for the city
and allow the auditor to
have more time for review-
ing expenditures.
"Preparing the budget
and payroll should not be
done by the auditor," Davis
said, suggesting that a revi-
sion of the auditor's duties
will make the position even
more independent.
Davis, also, suggested
that city officials might con-
sider designating a "CFO"
or chief financial officer "...
to take over the day to day"
financial operations.
In the meantime. Walker
said that O'Connor is famil-
iar with the work.
A graduate of Westfield
State College, O'Connor
studied management and
marketing. O'Connor has
been employed in the Au-
ditor's Department for five
and one half years. Prior to
that, she worked for a Nor-
well business and in the fi-
nance departments of Bank
of Boston and Bank of New
York.
"She knows the ins and
outs (of the position) until
the City Council and the
mayor move forward...."
Walker said.

WORKERS TAKE AWAY last of the stones if the Abigail Ad-
ams Cairn. Mayor Thomas Koch, working with Ward 2 Coun-
cillor Daniel Raymondi, declared the condition of the 110-year-
old monument, which marks the place where Abi-gail and
John Quincy Adams watched the Battle of Bunker Hill, in need
of emergency repairs.. The structure is being dismantled and
rebuilt with the same material as the origi-nal.
1896 Time Capsule Found
ABIGAIL ADAMS CAIRN
showing damaging cracks.
QUINCY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Executive Director Rd. Edward Fitzgerald (left) and Soci-
ety President Jim Edwards inspect a time capsule unearthed during the razing of the historic
Abigail Adams Cairn on Franklin Street. Officials believe the capsule is at least 110 years old.
The cairn will be rebuilt with the same materials.
Abigail Adams Cairn Razed, To Be Rebuilt With Same Stones
Workers restoring the
Abigail Adams Cairn atop
Penn's Hill may have made
a most serendipitous find —
a time capsule that apparent-
ly dates back to 1 896 when
the monument was built.
The copper container
the size of a shoebox was
discovered early Tuesday
morning buried inside the
stone and granite cairn by
workers for the Phoenix Bay
State Construction Co.
The firm is performing
emergency restoration work
on the 112-year-old monu-
ment ordered by Mayor
Thomas P. Koch at the urging
of Ward 2 City Councillor
Daniel Raymondi and the
Quincy Historical Society.
The cairn was erected to
mark the spot where Abigail
Adams took her young son,
John Quincy Adams, to
watch the battle of Bunker
Hill across Boston Harbor
in Charlestown in 1775.
"It is wonderfully excit-
ing that a project that un-
questionably needed to be
done to preserve a rich piece
of Quincy 's history will bare
even more history than any-
one expected," said Koch.
Raymondi noted that the
project was started original-
ly as a public safety issue.
"The monument was lit-
erally falling apart at a time
of intense interest in the
Adams story and increased
visitation to the site," he
said. "To have it turn into a
historic discovery is a great
surprise."
The Quincy Historical
Society took possession of
the time capsule along with
an Indian head penny and
another coin found atop the
box. A public opening of the
capsule is planned for some-
time in the next few days.
"Before we do anything,
we want to talk to some
folks who are experts on
these types of things, how to
properly open it, how to pre-
serve what may be inside,"
said Dr Edward Fitzgerald,
executive director of the
Society.
"It is every exciting to
think that what may be in-
side the capsule and what it
will tell us about the cairn
and Quincy of 1896"
In spite of being soldered
closed, whatever is inside
may have suffered some
damage over the last hun-
dred years, said Fitzgerald,
since is container is not like-
ly to be water-tight.
Renovation work on the
cairn began this summer
after it was declared unsafe
when visible cracks were
discovered and large open
spaces found where stones
had fallen.
Inspections showed that
simply filling the cracks
would not be sufficient to
preserve the cairn so resto-
ration experts were brought
in the dismantle the struc-
ture and rebuild it with the
same Quincy granite of the
original.

By Henry Bosworth
He's In That Mood Again
I'm in that grouchy mood again.
You know, when little things get to you. And
grow into pet peeves.
Most of the time though, I get off to a jolly-good-
fellow start in the morning. Then sometimes, suddenly
it can happen. Some little thing gets in the way that
annoys me. Just can't help it.
Like coming down Independence Avenue and run-
ning a little late on the way to the office and a car pops
out in front of you from a side street and then goes into
a slow crawl all the way to Quincy Square. With no
room to pass.
Nothing really earthshaking, just one of my little
pet peeves, a few of which I have aired from time to
time. You must have a few of your own.
Maybe some of mine are some of yours.
Not necessarily in order of importance but you
know, things like:
The pollster who wants to know who you're going
to vote for. Really none of his business.
Britney Spears, Madonna and Paris Hilton. What
role models!
The TV cameraman who is so fascinated with close-
ups of Terry Francona in the Red Sox dugout spitting,
spitting and spitting out whatever he's chewing. And
Francona for giving kids a bad habit.
The hot-rodder who speeds through the Hancock
parking lot as if it were the Southeast Expressway.
The cowboy who roars through a quiet neighbor-
hood ignoring parked cars and driveways and the safe-
ty of youngsters who might dart out from them. You
wouldn't feel too badly to see this guy a block or so
away wrapped around a steel utility pole.
You're waiting for an important telephone call. The
phone finally rings. It's a telemarker.
People who start sentences, "Me and him" or "Hey,
man."
Those sitcoms with the canned laughter and the fas-
cination with the word "boobs."
The hom tooter behind you who lets you know the
second the red light turns green.
The driver who leaves his (her) car halfway in an
adjoining parking space taking up two spaces while
you're circling around trying to find a space.
Or those who leave their shopping carts in the mid-
dle of parking spaces. Too lazy or inconsiderate to re-
turn them to where they belong. Ran into three in a
row the other day.
The swanky place where the bartender doesn't know
how to make a dry martini.
The politician who thinks he knows it all, whatever
the issue.
The writer who sends an angry letter to the editor
claiming some kind of wrongdoing at City Hall and
ending with a challenging 'I bet you don't have the
guts to print this letter.' But doesn't have the guts to
sign the letter.
The rumormonger spreading a juicy one about some
well-known figure having an alleged affair. All talk, no
proof.
People who can't stop talking during the playing of
the National Anthem.
And those who abuse or show no respect for Old
Glory.
The guy that likes to surprise you by waiting until
he starts turning before giving you a directional sig-
nal.
Motorcycle cowboys who just can't get enough
noise out of their bikes. If your car made that much
noise it probably would fail an inspection sticker test.
Drivers who sail through "Walk" pedestrian lights.
The guy who sneaks a parking space reserved for
the handicapped.
Kids on skateboards risking their young necks do-
ing pretzel loop-the-loops or maneuvering alongside
traffic on Hancock Street.
Some of today's baseball players with multi-mil-
lion dollar contracts. If they're pulling in that much
money with so-so talent. Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Joe
DiMaggio, etc. would be worth a billion or more.
Stupid TV commercials like the one I've mentioned
before: The anti-perspirant one with the gal running
around the street showing off her armpits.
Well, those are some of my little pet peeves but I'll
stop before I get carried away.
You must have a few of your own. Maybe one of
them is someone like me forcing mine on you.
I have a few more. But some other time.

47 Years Ago
POSTMARKED IN 1919 this real photo postcard is
a rare view of an electric trolley car on Billings Road
looking towards Norfolk Downs. The card, appropri-
ately labeled Billings Road Bend, is showing the trolley
coming from Hancock Street in the Downs, climbing
up the slightly curving grade and turning towards the
south at the intersection of Calumet Street on the left
and Apthorp Street on the right. The ancient Billings
slate quarry was just behind the houses on the right.
From here the trolleys continued on to West Elm Avenue,
where they turned right to and through Huntington
Square, and rejoined Hancock Street at the end of Elm
Avenue. The grocery store on the corner at the right of
this view became a Chinese laundry in the late 1930's. A
newer building on the same corner has been home to a
number of laundries ever since. To contact Tom Galvin,

Senior Center And Track Should Be In Pageant Field
On Nov. 13, 2007 a meet-
ing was held in the Park
and Recreation Building at
Pageant Field. The senior
community was invited to
start the process for a Senior
Center.
The participants were
to provide information/
analysis, manage own small
groups, develop concepts/
ideas and seek conmion
ground and action.
One thing that was abun-
dantly clear, all the par-
ticipants wanted the Senior
Center at Pageant Field.
Second, the proposed track
at Pageant Field would be
a magnet to draw seniors to
the Center year round for ex-
ercise and planned events.
If the goal is to get maxi-
mum use out of the Senior
Center, then it makes no
sense to have the Center
at one location and a year
round track at another. 1 am
sure that the Myles Standish
School site on East Squan-
tum Street as the location
for the Senior Center, would
not have been supported by
the senior community at the
meeting on Nov. 13, 2007,
and 1 know of no other
meeting, or process, that has
taken place since then where
the senior community has
had input on the process or
the location.
The former Myles
Standish School at 440 East
Squntum St. is a terrible lo-
cation for a Senior Center. It
is not central to the city, the
intersection of East Squn-
tum Street and Quincy Shore
Drive, is a nightmare in the
morning and afternoon and
offers no outdoor activity
for active seniors, assisted
seniors and the physically
challenged.
1 suggest moving the
Parks and Recreation De-
partment to the former
Myles Standish School and
build the Senior Center and
track at Pageant Field. That
is what the seniors wanted.
That is what makes sense
and the seniors deserve bet-
ter than 440 East Squantum
Street.

'Goliath' Should Have Been Kept
As Monument to Shipyard Workers
The recent tragedy at the
former Quincy Shipyard,
the third death since Jan.
2005 seems so needless.
The giant "Goliath" crane
that broke apart sending an
ironworker to his death has
indeed, as Norfolk County
D.A. Bill Keating said,
turned a landmark into a sad
memorial.
The 30-story crane was
being dismantled for a trip
to East Europe where a Ro-
manian company had pur-
chased it.
With hindsight, it prob-
ably should have remained
at the former shipyard as a
reminder to the South Shore
area of the importance of
that Fore River site to the ar-
ea's economy. For 42 years
now, the crane rose above
the horizon and was part
of everyone's life as folks
crossed over the Fore River Now, it will remind peo- that was the lifeblood of
Bridge daily.
The "Goliath" crane
could have served as a
monument to all those who
worked there for nearly a
century.
pie of death. It will leave the working families in Quincy,
shipyard for someplace else Weymouth and the entire
and people will be glad to South Shore,
forget it.

The position of the Quincy Planning Board in favoring
a Sea Street location over Hardwick's Quarry as the site for
the proposed municipal incinerator
was defended by Planning Director
James E. Lee in a letter to the mayor
and the city council.
The Planning Board recently in-
dicated its opposition to the Quarry
Street location after a recent public hearing.
One of the chief objections of the Planning Board was
that an incinerator at the Hardwick site would jeopardize
"the future development of Quarry Hill."
BOY RESCUED AFTER FALL DOWN AIRSHAFT
Three-year old Richard Gregor of 160 Main St., Quin-
cy Point, was quickly rescued unharmed after he plunged
from the second story to the first floor in a furnace airshaft.
Within minutes after police and firemen arrived, a wall was
ripped out and the aluminum duct in which he was trapped,
was opened.
The child emerged bewildered as he saw a living room
full of firemen and policemen. He managed a grin for the
photographer.
Acting Lt. Lester Hazlett was in charge of the fire detail
while Capt. William F. Mclntyre headed the police detail.
EUROPE ALARMED AT BERLIN GATE CLOSING
Anger, resentment and foreboding rumbled across West-
em Europe at the slamming of the Berlin Border gates to
stop the flow of westward bound East Germans. (Editor's
note: This action led to the construction of the Berlin Wall
between the Eastern and Western sections of Berlin. The
wall would not come down until 1989.)

Coconut Shrimp With Almonds
When I go out to a restaurant, and there's
coconut shrimp on the menu, I usually order
it and enjoy it. One day I tired to make them
at hone, and somehow, they didn't taste the
same.
Today's recipe is one I found recently and
it so like the ones that the restaurants serve.
The only difference is that it calls for aim
onds as well as coconut, but that is optional.
As long as the rest of the recipe is followed.
COCONUT SHRIMP
WITH ALMONDS
1 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp (cleaned
with tails left on)
3/4 cup almonds (ground)
1 bag sweetened flake coconut (2 1/2
cups)
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs lightly beaten
vegetable oil for frying
Combine almonds and 2/3 cup of the
coconut and grind until well blended. Blend
together the ground mixture and the remaining
coconut and flour. In a small bowl, lightly
beat the eggs.
Dip a few shrimp in the eggs, and then in
the coconut mixture. Place on a waxed-paper
lined baking sheet.
Heat oil and fry shrimp one to two minutes
until golden brown and place on a paper
towel to drain. Here is a dipping sauce to use
if you wish.
Dipping Sauce
1 bottle duck sauce (7 ounces)
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce

Koch Will Recommend
$10 Increase In Parking Fines
Reverse Mortgage Topic
Mayor Thomas Koch has
proposed increasing fines for
overtime parking and more
than a dozen other parking
violations in an effort to
bring the city's fine sched-
ule in line with other cities
and towns of the same size,
according to Chris Walker,
Director of Policy.
"Part of the reason we're
proposing this is that, histor-
ically, Quincy has had lower
fines (than similar) cities
and towns," Walker said.
Under the mayor's plan.
the penalty for overtime
parking would increase from
$15 to $25. In addition, the
mayor's plan would triple
the current fee for parking
in a handicapped zone from
$100 to $300 and, for ob-
structing a driveway from
$5 to $25.
City Councillors who
will not meet again until
September must approve the
proposal.
According to records
provided by the mayor's
office, city officials issued
9611 overtime parking tick-
ets for $15 at last official
count. Those parking tick-
ets netted the city $144,165.
With an increase of $10 per
ticket, the city will collect
$240,275 for the same num-
ber of tickets.
Under the proposal, col-
lections for all parking
violations in the city would
increase total annual fee col-
lections by $218,380 from
$320,345 to $538,725.

to them," said Tracey Fay of

Most of the mourners

In her eulogy, Harvey's
sister, Kristen Christian, de-

friends and family gathered
at the Sons of Italy Hall on
Quarry Street to trade remi-
niscences of the Quincy
boy who virtually grew up
at Quincy Youth Hockey
Arena and once scored the
first goal for Quincy High in
a state championship game.
Informal memorials to
Harvey's passing appeared
outside the main gate of the
former shipyard on Howard
Street — candles, balloons,
flowers and a handmade
sign promising: "We love
you, Bobby. We're proud
of you. We miss you. We'll
never forget you."
In addition to Harvey,
two others were injured in
the collapse.
Thierry DeCree, 36, a
Belgian living in Quincy,
was taken to Quincy Medical
Center then transferred to
Boston Medical Center,
where he was discharged
Sunday after treatment for a
broken leg.
Wayne Walker, 34, an
ironworker from Florida,
was treated and released at
Quincy Medical Center.
Ted Fitzgerald, a
spokesman for OS HA
(Occupational Safety and
Health Administration), said
the federal agency began its
investigation the day the in-
cident happened when three
inspectors were dispatched
to the scene in the shipyard,
inactive since 1986.
"We will look at all the
factors to see if there was
any violation of safety stan-
dards," he said. "At this
point it is hard to say how
long it will take. It may take
as long as six months."
The OSHA investigation
will encompass the physical
conditions of the accident
scene, personal interviews,
a check of the records and

As the lazy, hazy days
of summer wane and the
fresh, crisp air of autumn
approaches, it's a great time
to trade in the flip-flops for
a pair of walking shoes and
start a walking program.
"Walking is one of the
best ways to exercise be-
cause almost anyone can do
it, anywhere at anytime,"
says Sarah DiBona, an exer-
cise physiologist at Quincy
Medical Center. "Walk-
ing can help you maintain
a healthy weight and keep
your heart healthy. Walking
can also help to lower your
blood pressure, increase the
amount of "good" cholester-
ol in your blood and lower
your risk of diabetes, stroke,
high blood pressure and os-
teoporosis. Plus it makes
you feel better by increasing
your energy, reducing stress
and improving your sleep."
If you need a little push to
get your walking program in
gear, why not use the QMC
Cancer Walk on Sunday,
September 28 as your mo-
tivation to get going? Not
only will you be working to-
ward a worthy philanthropic
goal, you'll be doing some-
thing healthy for yourself at
the same time.
The QMC Cancer Walk
supports the Marie A. Cur-
ry Fund, a permanently
endowed fund at Quincy
Medical Center focused
on encouraging prevention
and early detection of can-
cer and enhancing access to
vital cancer screenings and
services for uninsured and
underinsured women and
men. The four-nule seaside
course begins and ends at
Pageant Field in Merry-
mount Park and is perfect
for seasoned walkers and
beginners alike.
When starting a walk-
ing program, begin with a
modest goal, like 15 to 20
minutes at a leisurely pace,
advises DiBona. "This is the
best way to prevent injury
and stay motivated. And al-
ways remember to include
a warm-up and cool -down
with plenty of stretches," she
says. "Stretching is really
important. It not only feels
great, but it keeps your body
flexible and helps prevent
injuries. But it is important
to warm your muscles up a
bit before stretching."
Most injuries are caused
by inconsistency, cautions
DiBona. The key to staying
healthy is to increase the in-
tensity and duration of your
walk in a gradual, progres-
sive manner. "Once you've
started your program, try
adding five minutes a week
to the brisk part of your
walk," DiBona suggests.
"Then once you're walking
for 30 minutes or more, try
to increase your speed and
distance."
How much exercise do
we need? The US Depart-
ment of Health and Human
Services and Agriculture
recommends that individu-
als should perform a mini-
mum of 30 minutes of mod-
erate intensity exercise on
most days to protect against
chronic disease; at least 60
minutes of moderate- to
vigorous-intensity activity
on most days to prevent un-
healthy weight gain; and 60
to 90 minutes of moderate-
intensity activity daily to
sustain weight loss in indi-
viduals who have lost sub-
stantial body weight. Simi-
larly, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention and
the American College of
Sports Medicine have rec-
ommended that "every US
adult should accumulate 30
minutes or more of moder-
ate- and/or vigorous-inten-
sity physical activity at least
five days of the week."

Warm Up
To warm up, walk at a
slower pace, about 50 per-
cent of your maximum ef-
fort, for about five minutes.
Then stop and stretch
your calves, front of thigh
(quadriceps), back of thigh
(hamstrings) and lower
back.
Stretches should be grad-
ual and sustained, holding
each for 30 seconds.
Never bounce or force
movements!
Get Going!
After stretching, walk at
a brisk exercise pace, but do
not exert yourself too much.
If you are not able to carry
on a conversation while you
walk, slow it down a bit.
Keep your shoulders
back and relaxed, and let
your arms swing naturally.
Walk tall . Hold your head
up and look forward. Keep
your shoulders down, back
and relaxed. Tighten your
abdominal muscles and but-
tocks.
Remember that your heel
should strike the ground
first, and that you should
push off with your toe.
Try to keep an even stride
and maintain a steady pace.
Cool down
During the last 5 min-
utes of your walk, gradually
slow down to your warm-up
pace. Then, finish with a few
more stretches.
Stretching after you walk
gives your body time to cool
down and your muscles a
chance to relax. It also helps
your heart return gradually
to a normal rate.

What to wear
Be kind to your feet.
Wear comfortable, well-
fitting walking shoes with
snug arch support and lat-
eral stability. Remember
to buy your walking shoes
so that they fit properly to
your larger foot, since most
people have one foot that is
slightly bigger than the oth-
er, and try them on with type
of socks you will wear when
walking to get the proper
fit.
Steer clear of cotton
socks, which soak up per-
spiration, and wear socks
made with fibers that draw
moisture away from your
skin.
Wearloose-fittingclothes .
In colder temperatures, wear
layers that you can take off
as you warm up.
When walking at night,
wear white or light-colored
clothing or wear reflective
clothing, a reflective vest, or
a safety light.
Look for Excuses
(to Walk)
Now that you've started
a walking routine and have
all that extra energy to bum,
try building extra walk-
ing opportunities into your
daily routine like taking the
stairs instead of the elevator
at work or parking further
from the mall entrance.
Don't go it alone
If the peace and solitude
of a solo walk aren't your
speed, walk with a friend or
family member. Dogs also
make great walking com-
panions.
Stay hydrated
Be sure to drink plenty of
month at the River Bay
Club, 99 Brackett St.

Walking Tips For Health
Quincy Medical Center Cancer Walk Sept. 28
As the lazy, hazy days
of summer wane and the
fresh, crisp air of autumn
approaches, it's a great time
to trade in the flip-flops for
a pair of walking shoes and
start a walking program.
"Walking is one of the
best ways to exercise be-
cause almost anyone can do
it, anywhere at anytime,"
says Sarah DiBona, an exer-
cise physiologist at Quincy

ol in your blood and lower

teoporosis. Plus it makes
you feel better by increasing

A Job Well Done
On Sunday, August 3, 2008, at approximately
4:50 P.M., hours. Officers'
Paul Murphy and Dennis
Keenan were dispatched to
TJ Maxx, 100 Granite Street,
on a report that shoplifting
had just occurred. Quin-
cy Police Communications,
speaking with security, pro-
vided a description of the two
female suspects. Suspect
#1 was wearing a pink and
white dress, carrying a black
bag. Suspect #2 was de-
scribed as wearing a white, purple and yellow tank top
with jeans. Communications updated the Officers
that the suspects were fleeing across Burgin Parkway to-
ward the Parkingway and that Loss Prevention person-
nel from TJ Maxx had been assaulted. As Officer Mur-
phy approached the area, he could see the two suspects
crossing the Paul Harold Bridge toward the Parkingway.
As Officer Murphy approached the suspects in
the parking lot of the Commonwealth Restaurant at 79
Parkingway, he observed two T.J. Maxx Loss Preven-
tion Officers a distance away pointing at the two fe-
males he was approaching. He also noted that suspect
#2 had thrown a black bag under a parked car. Officers'
Dennis Keenan and Michael Duran arrived at this time.
After the Officers questioned the suspects, they were in-
formed that they were under arrest. Officer Duran hand-
cuffed suspect #1 , but suspect #2 fled. Officer Murphy
gave chase and as the suspect crossed the parking lot, she
came towards Officer Keenan, who was able to initially
subdue her. Suspect #2 then punched Officer Keenan
on the right side of the head and after a brief struggle, the
suspect was brought to the ground. Officer Keenan was
able to get the suspect's right hand cuffed, but she con-
tinued to flail about on the ground, yelling, "You can't do
this! You don't know who my father is! You can't ar-
rest me! You'll all lose your jobs! I'm gonna sue!"
The suspect was eventually handcuffed and placed;
into the rear of Officer Keenan's cruiser. Officer Mur-
phy then retrieved the black bag under the car and to
his surprise, he found a can of "Back Off' Dog Repel-
lent. The Loss Prevention Officers approached Officer
Murphy and told him that they tried to apprehend sus-
pect #2 but she had the can in her hand and was shaking
it as if she were going to spray them with it. The black
bag contained several items from TJ Maxx that the
Loss Prevention Officers witnessed them take. Surpris-
ingly, there were numerous items from AJ Wright, all
with price tags attached to them. Suspect #2 also had
a large pink bag with her and found inside this bag were
several more items with TJ Maxx price tags on them.
Officer Murphy accompanied the Loss Prevention Of-
ficers back to TJ Maxx and reviewed the tapes of the
store's surveillance system. They told Officer Murphy
that they watched as suspect #2 placed clothing on the
rack into bags that she had in a shopping cart. Suspect
#1 appeared to mainly be acting a lookout for suspect
#2. As the suspects were about to leave the store with
several items, the Loss Prevention Officers stopped
them. Suspect #2 immediately began to argue with them
and then tried to push by them. Suspect #1 punched
the Loss Prevention Officers and then the suspects ran
toward the Granite Street Connector and then across
Burgin Parkway toward the Commonwealth Restaurant.
The total of items shoplifted from TJ Maxx was $4 1 2.7 1 .
During the search of the suspect #2's property. Officer
Murphy found a cigarette box with a yellow string tied
around it. Tucked inside the cellophane was a green-
ish brown vegetative substance consistent with mari-
juana. More of this substance was found throughout the
box.
Officer Keenan transported suspect #2, a 22 year
old Dorchester resident, to the station where she was
charged with "Larceny over $250, Assault and Battery
(2 counts), Assault by Means of a Dangerous Weapon,
to wit, chemical spray (2 counts). Assault and Battery
on a Police Officer, Illegal Possession of a Chemi-
cal Spray, Possession of a Class "D" Substance,
to wit, marijuana and Knowingly Resisting Arrest."
Officer Duran transported Suspect #1, a 23 year old
Dorchester resident, to the Quincy Police Station where
she was charged with "Larceny over$250."

Anthony Acito Selected For
Chorus In TV Musical Reality TV
Bone Marrow Drive Planned
For 8- Year-Old Boy Sept. 14
By MIRIAM JOSEPH
Anthony Acito, the recent
Quincy High School gradu-
ate who was competing for
a star turn on ABC TV's
summer reality show "High
School Musical: Get in the
Picture," is back home in
Quincy.
On last week's episode,
the adjudicators of the show
decided to use Anthony in
the chorus, where he sang
backup for the young people
still in contention for the
brass ring, a starring role
in a music video which will
run during the end cred-
its of Disney's feature film
production of "High School
Musical 3: Senior Year."
Although not yet aired
nationally, the episode
where a winner is chosen
has already been filmed and
the music video where you
can spot Anthony as a mem-
ANTHONY ACITO
ber of the rockin' chorus has
been completed. An Octo-
ber release date is planned
in movie theatres.
Returning home this past
Friday, Anthony, who has
not had any formal voice
training, said that he appre-
ciated the judges' advice to
him.
"They mainly told me to
work on my vocals, that was
pretty much it, they said my
stage presence was good."
Anthony admits to the
wonderful experience he
had vying for a top spot dur-
ing the competition in Dis-
neyworld, and then in Salt
Lake City, and speaks of
how much he learned while
working in such a profes-
sional environment.
"It was definitely a life
changing experience, it was
great to get recognized for
having something special
that other people didn't
have."
As for his future plans,
Anthony says, "I'm really
not sure, I'm going to take a
year off from school to try to
continue acting... see if that
works out for me."
The Red Cross will hold
a tissue-typing drive from
noon to 4 p.m., Sunday,
Sept. 14 at the Weymouth
Elks, 1197 Washington St.,
Weymouth, for eight-year-
old Donovan Sands.
"Please do whatever you
can," his grandmother Betty
Wood of Quincy said in de-
scribing the bone marrow
search for Donovan who
lived in Quincy until recent-
ly. Wood said her grandson
is suffering from a rare dis-
ease that is killing his bone
marrow.
"If he does not find a
donor, he will not survive,"
Wood said.
For more information.
call 1-800-676-4545.
Donovan is the son of
Paul Sands of Billerica and
Tricia McClentic, Holbrook.
His grandfather is Steven
Sands of Weymouth.

May Take Six Months To Find Crane Cause
Cont'd From Page 10
what was being done at the
time.
"If it is determined that
there was a violation of
safety standards, then a ci-
tation will be issued," said
Fitzgerald.
Norstar apparently will
be starting the investiga-
tion process with a clean
slate since OSHA could find
no complaints from work-
ers charging any hazardous
conditions on this particular
job.
Jay Duca, the director of
Inspectional Services, said
the city will not be involved
in the investigation until
OSHA has found a violation
or some other defect in the
procedure.
"Then we will follow up
make sure the cause is iden-
tified and steps have been
taken to see that it doesn't
happen again," he said.
it was shortly after noon
on Thursday and iron work-
ers had removed one of the
crane's four legs and were
preparing the take down a
second when the leg unex-
pectedly collapsed with a
thunderous roar that was
heard blocks away.
"It did collapse in the
manner it was to collapse,"
acting Fire Chief Joseph
Barron told a news confer-
ence. "It just did not col-
lapse when it was supposed
to."
The 160-foot leg of the
crane was to have been cut
into two 80-foot sections
in a few days and lowered
to the ground and moved
to a barge for transport to
a shipyard on the Black
Sea in Mangalia, Rumania.
Instead, it collapsed by itself
prematurely.
The Goliath Crane has
been a fixture at the former
Fore River Shipyard since
1975 when it was brought in
by the then-owner. General
Dynamics, to hoist gigantic
tanks onto liquified natural
gas tankers. It had a hand in
construction of 12 of them.
General Dynamics
closed the shipyard for good
in 1986 and its fate was un-
certain until 2003 when car
dealer Dan Quirk bought it
at auction for $9 million. He
sold the crane to Daewoo
Shipbuilding & Marine
Engineering of South Korea
for its Rumanian shipyard.

Electrical Tool Kit
2, When I moved to my
• first apartment, my
gave me an old tool set
with wrenches, pliers, a
hammer and so on. He told
me I need to add wire
strippers and a tester.
What are these? — Haley
C, Boulder, Colo.
A, A wire stripper (usu-
• ally a cutter/siripper)
and a tester are among the
basic ingredients of an elec-
trical repair set. Most apart-
ment dwellers will not (and
should not) need to perform
repairs to their wiring. How-
ever, like the rest of the
items in the tool kit you
received from your dad, they
are handy to have around
and may make an appear-
ance while decorating the
place. (Putting up a new
light flxture or ceiling fan is
one immediate use that
comes to mind.)
A good basic electrical
tool set can be put together
for between $20 and $1(X)
and should include the fol-
lowing items:
— A neon tester, which
will tell you whether power
is on in a socket, switch or
receptacle.
— A wire cutter/stripper to
cut small wires and strip
some of the plastic casing
from the ends (very useful
when attaching wires to fix-
tures).
— Needle-nose pliers (also
called long-nose pliers),
which easily crimp wires
and can reach into tight
spaces.
— Lineman's pliers, which
make twisting wires togeth-
er much easier.
— Electrical tape, a handy
item which covers bare
wires or tacks things into
place temporarily.
— Wire caps or nuts, in
assorted sizes, which quick-
ly screw over spliced wires
to hold them securely in
place.
Some of these tools are
helpful in other areas
besides electrical work —
needle-nose pliers, for
example, are a big help
when hanging pictures, as
they can quickly crimp the
picture wire into shape.
When you do decide to
take on an electrical project
— such as hanging that ceil-
ing fan — ask someone with
experience to work with
you. Always shut off the cir-
cuit to the receptacle or
switch you'll be working on,
and test using the neon tester
to make sure no current is
traveling through it before
starting work.

Evening To Benefit Habitat For Humanity
John Heaney In ^Dancing With the Realtors'
Local real estate profes-
sionals and professional
dancers will take to the floor
of Lombardo's grand ball-
room to strut their stuff for
the second annual "Dancing
with the Realtors," Wednes-
day, Oct. 15.
The fundraising compe-
tition is sponsored by the
Plymouth and South Shore
Association of Realtors in
support of Habitat for Hu-
manity.
Among the local "stars"
competing in the event is
one of last year's cham-
pion dancers, John Heaney,
of Century 21 Annex Re-
alty in Quincy. Heaney took
JOHN HEANEY
the gold in the 2007 South
Shore and Plymouth com-
petition, and went on to take
second place in the Eastern
US Dancesport Champion-
ships.
Organizers promise that
the second year of "Danc-
ing with the Realtors" will
be bigger and better than
the first with more than 35
PASS members and affili-
ates competing alongside
professional dancers from
local dance studios. This
year's event is split into two
levels of competition. Be-
ginners will dance to swing
and foxtrot, while returning
competitors such as Heaney
can show off their moves in
the tango and cha-cha.
"I had a lot of fun last
year, and we raised $37,000
for Habitat for Humanity,"
said Heaney. "I can't wait to
participate again this year,
and with two levels of com-
petition and an increase in
competitors, we have the op-
portunity to raise even more
money for a great cause."

Seven Days, Seven Projects
For A Kitchen That Sells
(ARA) - In today's mar-
ket, selling a home involves
much more than posting a
"for-sale" sign in the yard.
Preparation is key. In fact,
experts agree that property
appearance and condition
play a big role in the home-
sale process.
While home improve-
ments can increase buyers'
interests, most sellers hesi-
tate to renovate, fearing they
may not recoup their costs
in the sales price. However,
with strategic updates in key
rooms, such as kitchens, sell-
ers can increase the value of
a home - giving them a leg
up on their neighbors to sell
more easily and command a
higher selling price.
With just a week's time, a
small investment and a bit of
elbow grease, you can easily
turn your kitchen into your
selling feature with these
seven projects.
Clean Up!
Although you may love
your children's artwork or
favorite magnets on the
fridge, prospective home-
buyers want to envision a
home as theirs - not yours.
Start your kitchen update by
making a clean sweep of the
room. Remove everything
from the top and sides of
your refrigerator and clear
off coimtertops. By elimi-
nating clutter and personal
effects, your kitchen will
look neat, clean - and even
larger.
Fix Up Your Faucet
The faucet is the work-
horse of the kitchen - and a
focal point. So add new life
to your sink area with a fash-
ionable and functional new
faucet. For an affordable
price, you can find beautiful
pulldown models, such as
Moen's Solidad pulldown
kitchen faucet (available in
LifeShine Classic Stainless
finish at The Home Depot
for $219). Potential buy-
ers will be amazed with the
functionality and the up-
dated styling that it brings to
the whole room.
PuU it Together
Once you've updated the
faucet, pull the rest of the
finishes in the room together
by updating the hardware.
Drawer pulls and knobs in a
beautiful stainless finish are
a simple project and can add
a finishing touch that dra-
matically updates the look
of new or older cabinets.

ets, cabinets and drawers to
assess the storage availabili-
ty in your home. Be sure that
you organize each of these
areas to make your kitchen
look like a storage dream -
not a nightmare. Many cabi-
net manufacturers, such as
Masterbrand cabinets, offer
custom shelves to help orga-
nize, or you can find simple
organization systems at lo-
cal retailers. No matter what
system you choose, your
organization won't go un-
noticed.
Curtain CaU
Windows are a selling
point in any room - allowing
nature into a home by pro-
viding a source of sunlight.
Be sure that windows and
blinds are free of dust, fin-
gerprints or pet nose prints
for a bright and cheerful dis-
play. Adding a neutral, but
classic curtain can be a nice
touch to frame these focal
points of the room.
FoUow the Light
Does your kitchen still
have the "builder-basic"
or outdated brass lighting
fixtures? As a focal point
above your kitchen table, be
sure to update your hanging
chandelier with a model in a
finish that coordinates with
the rest of the room. A vari-
ety of classic-designed light
fixtures in stainless steel or
oil rubbed bronze finishes
are available at local home
improvement stores and
will instantly light up your
kitchen.
Cosmetic Cover-ups
You've lived in your
kitchen so long that you may
not notice the small paint
chips in the trim or stain on
the carpet, but to prospective
homebuyers, these stick out
like a sore thumb. A fresh
coat of paint on walls and
trim will always add more
value than its cost and let
buyers know that your home
is well kept and clean.
Within a week you can
easily increase the value of
your home in the eyes of
potential buyers - as well as
provide an enjoyable space
for yourself until you sell!

State Launches New Reverse

Dollars

With the popularity of
reverse mortgage loans on
the rise among Massachu-
setts senior citizens, the
Office of Consumer Affairs
and Business Regulation
(OCABR) and the Execu-
tive Office of Elder Affairs
(EOEA) has launched a new

Remodel While
You Wait Out
the Market
Many home sellers are
finding this a grim market
for sales. Houses sit ... and
sit ... with For Sale signs in
the yard. Knowing that the
market will eventually come
back, many families are
instead deciding to dig in for
the duration — opting to
make changes to their exist-
ing home rather than try to
sell in a bad market.
Remodeling your home
can do two things: It can
give you more of the things
you want in a house right
now, and it can position you
well for an eventual sale
when the market comes
back.
With remodeling, howev-
er, the trick is to avoid mak-
ing expensive mistakes.
If you'll need a contractor,
get one signed up for laie
September or October, and
negotiate a discount. The
later in the year you can
schedule the work, the bet-
ter, as most remodeling
companies count on warm
months to do the bulk of
their year's work. Knowing
they'll have off-season
work, they're more likely to
agree to discounts. (Of
course this might not work
if you live in snow country
and need a roof.)
Consult with real-estate
agents so you don't spend
too much in the wrong areas
and not get a good return on
tually sell. Kitchens and
bathrooms are the biggest
selling points for buyers, but
even there you can go wrong
if you pick update items that
turn out to be only a fad, like
concrete counlertops in the
kitchen.
Consider how serious the
disruption will be to your
household, and how long it
will go on. How long can
you realistically survive
without a kitchen? Or a
bathroom? (There's some-
thing to be said for offering
a bonus to a contractor who
finishes on time.)
Will your property taxes
and insurance go up? Find
out, and add those numbers
into your future expenses
calculations, as well as the
cost of any construction
loan you take out.
Above all, consider
whether it is smarter to
merely fix up your home
instead of doing a major
remodeling. An addition
that includes a master suite
with bathroom won't be as
much of a selling point later
if the exterior siding is dam-
aged or the kitchen cabinets
are falling off the hinges.

M.S.S.,C^U.
Crunches Are
Pain in the Neck
Q, Most of ray workout
. routine is great, but 1
have a big problem when it
comes working my
abdominals. Crunches on
the lloor hurt m> neck,
and I am only able to do 10
or so before my neck and
head begin to give me pain.
How can I work my
abdominals without caus-
ing pain to my neck?
A .First things first. If
• you have an injury or
medical condition that could
be the source of your prob-
lem, talk with your physi-
cian. Back or neck fusions,
previous head or neck
injuries, and even certain
medications that could
cause problems should be
ruled out first. Once clear,
then you'll know it's safe to
move on.
With so many different
types of exercises available,
it is important to remember
to start at the most basic lev-
el and move forward slowly.
Remember that our abdomi-
nal and core region consists
of more than the muscles
that would show a six pack.
They include our back, sides
and entire trunk. Neck pain
can be caused by improper
technique, mu-scle weak-
nesses and trying an exercise
that is more advanced than
your body can support.
Cmnches are popular, but
be sure to learn the correct
way to move and position
your body. Watching anoth-
er exerciser and copying his
or her movements is not the
best way to learn an exer-
cise. Talk with a fitness pro-
fessional about the proper
way to place your body,
head, neck and arms.
An alternative to the
crunch is the dead-bug exer-
cise: Lay on your back with
both your arms and legs
toward the ceiling and
together bring one leg down
toward the ground while
your opposite arm also
moves back toward the
ground, then raise the arm
and leg until they meet
together back at the top.
Start by bringing your arm
and leg slowly down and
only as far as your back can
stay on the floor. After com-
pleting this exercise with
one leg and one arm, switch
sides. This exercise should
alleviate any strain to your
neck, since your head never
leaves the floor.
Another exercise is the
plank, which is often done in
classes such as yoga. Start
by lying on your stomach
with your elbows on the
floor under your shoulders.
Keeping your back straight,
abdominals tightened and
elbows on the ground, lift
your body to your knees
while trying to keep your
back as straight as possible
and your head aligned with
your back. Once you are to
your knees and feel you can
maintain that position,
extend both legs completely
and support yourself by your
toes and elbows.
Your challenge is to keep
your abdominals tightened,
back su^ght and avoid plac-
ing too much pressure on
your shoulders. Hold this
position for 10 seconds at a
time until you are able to
hold it for extended periods,
then carefully lower your-
self back to the floor. This
exercise should not strain
your neck, and it can be a
great new goal to see how
long you can hold the plank
position.
These arc just two of many
great exercises that can be
added to your abdominal
exercise routine, and when
executed correctly can make
you stronger overall and
pain-free.

THE WHITE FILLINGS FOR YOUR SMILE
While amalgam (silver) den-
tal fillings have been around
since the 1800s, they are fast
losing ground to tooth-colored
composite resin dental fillings.
The most obvious reason for
the switch to plastic dental res-
in has its basis in aesthetics. In
the eyes of increasing numbers
of patients, it's far more prefer-
able to have a filling material
that nearly matches the color of
their teeth exactly rather than
a nietallic filling that stands in
dark contrast to white teeth.
On top of that, composite den-
tal resin actually bonds to the
crown of the tooth to create a
solid tooth structure. Amalgam,
on the otfier hand, merely fills
the cavity, allowing seepage
aiDund the "sih^r" filling over
thne, which can lead to decay

fiWngs can easily be removed

September Is Prostate Health Month
Tips For Maintaining A Healthy Prostate
Blue Cross Blue Shield
of Massachusetts offers
information about the
importance of maintaining a
healthy prostate
In the United States, one
of the two most frequently
diagnosed cancers in men is
prostate cancer, accounting
for 10 percent of cancer-
related deaths in men. The
American Cancer Society
estimates that one in six
men will be diagnosed with
prostate cancer during his
lifetime.
In recognition of
Prostate Health Month,
Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Massachusetts' Prevention
and Wellness Program is
offering the following tips
on how to maintain a healthy
prostate.
What is the prostate?
The prostate is a walnut-
size gland that lies at the base
of the bladder and surrounds
the urethra. The prostate's
main function has to do with

Boosting Good
Cholesterol
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I am a man in my late 60s
and healthy except for
some heart-valve disease. I
maintain a right lifestyle,
which includes walking on
a treadmill for one hour,
eliminating red meat and
fat, eating lots of vegeta-
bles and fruits, and con-
suming soy instead of milk
products.
My HDL cholesterol is
low — 21 to 23 mg/dL (.54
to .59 mmol/L). I have tak-
en niacin or omega-3 fatty
acids and TVicor. My HDL
cholesterol remains persis-
tently too low.
Do you have any advice
how to increase it? Is my
diet wrong? — LX.
ANSWER: HDL (high-
density lipoprotein) choles-
terol removes cholesterol
deposited on artery walls
and dumps it into the liver
for disposal. That's why it's
called good cholesterol. The
higher its number, the better.
An HDL-cholesterol above
40 (1.03) is good, and one
higher than 60 is very good.
Your diet is perfect. Don't
change it.
Exercise increases HDL
cholesterol. You're spending
an hour a day exercising,
which is more than enough.
Increasing the tempo of your
exercise might have a bene-
ficial effect on your HDL
leveL if your doctor says
reproduction as it produces
the fluid that carries sperm
through the urethra. If
enlarged, the doughnut-
shaped prostate may restrict
the flow of urine.
Prostate Risks
Prostate cancer is the
most common form of non-
skin cancer among U.S.
men. Studies have estimated
that about sixteen percent of
American men will develop
prostate cancer at some point
in their lifetime. The disease
rarely strikes before the
age of forty and most often
occurs after the age of sixty.
Similarly, noncancerous
prostate enlargement
develops in most men after
the age of sixty. However,
inflammation of the prostate,
known as prostatitis, is
typically caused by a
bacterial infection and can
develop at any age. It is
important to recognize that
an enlarged prostate doesn't
necessarily signify cancer. In
you're fit enough for an
increase in exercise intensi-
«y.
In addition to limiting sat-
urated fat, as you are doing,
you have to be careful about
trans fat, fat found in many
commercial baked goods
and in fried foods from some
fast-food restaurants. If
you're not a label reader,
start reading label informa-
tion.
Virgin olive oil increa.ses
HDL cholesterol. Use it on
salads and as a spread.
Foods that suddenly boost
blood sugar don't do well by
HDL cholesterol. White
bread, white rice and exces-
sive sugar use are examples.
If you drink alcohol, con-
tinue to do so in moderation.
Two daily drinks can raise
HDL. More isn't helpful,
and can be the opposite.
You've tried all the medi-
cines suggested for increas-
ing HDL. Have you uied
them in their highest doses
or in combinations?
The booklet on cholesterol
explains this topic that is
talked about to excess.

fact, by age sixty about fifty
percent of men have this
condition, and by age eighty,
about eighty percent.
While all men are at risk
for prostate cancer age, race,
and family history may
increase risk. The older a
man is, the greater his risk
for getting prostate cancer
and a man with a father,
brother, or son who has had
prostate cancer is two to
three times more likely to
develop the disease himself.
Prostate cancer is more
common among African
American men than among
white men. Men with any
of these risk factors are
also more likely to develop
prostate cancer earlier in
life than those without these
characteristics.
How do you protect
yourself from these risks?
In order to maintain
a healthy prostate, it is
important to get regular
screening tests for prostate
cancer. The prostate specific
antigen test , more commonly
known as "PSA", is a blood
test measuring the prostate-
specific antigen enzyme
that is produced by the
prostate. The measurement
will determine whether
the PSA level is within
normal limits. In addition
to regular screening tests,
it is imperative for men to
receive armual digital rectal
exams for cancer screening.
This exam allows the doctor
to feel the back portion of
the prostate, where most
cancers begin, for size and
any irregularities. Rectal
exams can also reveal
noncancerous prostate
enlargement, which can lead
to urinary difficulties.
Certain fats, such as
saturated fats, milk fats, and
tropical oils, are believed to
speed the growth of prostate
tumors and make them more
harmful .Whileitisimportant
for men to be aware of the
threat of prostate tumors,
prostate cancer poses a more
significant threat.
Depending on a man's
level of risk, a man should
begin these screenings at
age 40 or 50. Doctors have
estimated that as many as
nine out of ten cases of
prostate cancer could be
cured if caught before they
spread beyond the organ
— but two out of three are
foimd too late.
Treatment
When prostate cancer
is found in its early stages
and has not spread beyond
the prostate, a doctor and
his patient may decide
upon one of three treatment
options - watchful waiting,
surgery or radiation therapy.
Watchful waiting involves
the monitoring of the
patient's prostate cancer
by performing the PSA test
and ORE regularly, and
treating it only if and when
the prostate cancer causes
symptoms or shows signs
of growing. A doctor and
patient may also decide
to remove the prostate
through surgery, or destroy
the cells through radiation
therapy, hormone therapy,
or cryotherapy.

and Prevention website

But Needs Another Victory To Advance
Quincy Defeats Florida
For First Babe Ruth
World Series Win
By SEAN BRENNAN
When starting pitcher
Josue Ordonez's groundout
scored first baseman Bobby
Kozlowski to cut the score
to 4-2 with one out in the top
of the fifth inning against
Syracuse, New York Mon-
day night at Adams Field,
the Quincy Babe Ruth World
Series representative looked
primed to potentially run
its pool play record to 2-1,
and in the process, accom-
plish what at the beginning
of this World Series seemed
far-reached: advance to the
single-elimination bracket
as one of the top six teams
in the ten team tournament.
Quincy earned its first
win of the 2008 Babe Ruth
World Series Saturday night
with a 2-1 upset win over
Tallahassee, FL.
But on this night a sec-
ond victory would not be
in the cards for Quincy. The
Middle Atlantic representa-
tive used a two-run fifth and
a one-run sixth inning to
push their advantage to 7-2
and starting pitcher Jeremy
Mapstone (7 innings, 2 runs,
3 hits, 5 Ks) retired the last
six Quincy batters he faced
to close out the game.
The loss dropped Quin-
cy's record to 1-2 with one

Coming off that 2-1
opening round win over Tal-

has since been called the
biggest win in Quincy Babe
Ruth history, the host team
came out flat and dropped
an 8-0 game to West Fargo,
ND.
"We came out of the gates

Also pitching for Quincy

"It was one game and we

put it behind us," said Lom-

Syracuse 3-0 on Saturday, Quincy opened their 2008
Babe Ruth World Series
with a thrilling and improb-
able 2-1 upset win over Tal-
lahassee, FL.
The boys from Tallahas-
see could not have seen this
one coming. This group
from Florida started the
tournament as the defend-
ing 2007 13-Year-Old Babe
Ruth World Series champi-
ons, and there was no way
the host team could knock
off this giant, right?
Wrong.
Quincy, behind the ace
starting pitching of Lukas
McDonough (complete
game, 10 Ks, 4 hits, run),
stunned Tallahassee 2- 1 .
"I think we surprised a
lot of people with the way
we came out and played,"
said Lombardi. "This is the
biggest win in Quincy Babe
Ruth history and to beat the
defending champions at Ad-
ams Field is exciting. We
are going to enjoy this win
and remember it for a long
time."
The host team jumped out
to an early 1-0 lead against
Florida's starter Tom Wat-
son (complete game, 8 Ks,
2 hits, 2 runs). With Adam
Nazzaro on third base with
ZACH STEARNS rips a base hit versus d>yracuse.

one out in the first inning,
Mike Stille sacrificed him
home for the first run of the
game. That 1-0 advantage
was maintained for the next
six innings because of the
pitching of McDonough.
McDonough, using main-
ly his fastball, held the high-
powered Florida offense
in check. His only inning
of trouble was in the fifth.
Florida loaded the bases be-
hind two walks and a single,
but McDonough got a pop
up and a fly out to escape
with the 1-0 lead intact.
In the top of the seventh,
McDonough helped his own
cause by sacrificing in Stille
with a flyout to centerfield.
Stille had reached third base
after reaching on a three
base error to start the frame.
Leading 2-0 and need-
ing three outs for the win,
McDonough allowed a one-
out run-scoring double to
Watson, cutting the lead to
2-1 . With two outs and two
on McDonough got Garrett
Johnson to pop to shortstop
to clinch the upset special .
"Lukas just dominated,"
said Lombardi. "He was go-
ing to finish the game, win
or lose.
"I am proud of these
kids. This is a win that they
will always look back on
fondly. Our hope is that it
will carry over and we can
grab at least one more win.
But I told the kids to take it
in; we defeated the reign-
ing world champions on our
home field."

that path is rejected by people who refuse
to admit limitations, who hide behind
denials and excuses, who react to trouble
with resentment and bitterness. And how
often, conversely, when one makes the first painful move toward
repairing a damaged relationship, or even a broken Hfe, that move
involves acceptance of some thorny and difficult reality that must
be faced before the rebuilding can begin.
Perhaps in the long run the beginning of wisdom lies in the
simple admission that things are not always the way we would
like them to be; that we ourselves are not so good or so kind or so
hard-working as we would like to believe. And yet . . . AND YET
... with each sun that rises there is a new day, a new challenge, a
new opportunity for doing better . . .
"Oh Lord," goes on variation of the old prayer, "grant me the
strength to change things are need changing, the courage to ac-
cept things that cannot be changed, and the wisdom to know the
difference."
People have call it the prayer of acceptance. They are right.

Having long symbolized both sleep
and death (because of the opium
extracted from them and also for
their blood-red color), poppies
have been used since ancient
times for offerings to the
dead. Commonly, the field
poppy is regarded as
a weed, but it is cuhivated
for its seeds, which are used
in baking and also in the
making of oil.

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Impatience with those
who don't keep up with you
can cause resistance, which,
in turn, can lead to more
delays. Best to be helpful and
supportive if you want
results.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) A surprise announcement
from a colleague could put
you on the defensive. Gather
your facts and respond.
You'll soon find the situation
shifting in your favor.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Time spent away from a
project pays off with a new
awareness of options you
hadn't considered before.
Weigh them carefully before
deciding which to choose.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Consider confronting
that personal conflict while
there's still time to work
things out. A delay can cause
more problems. A longtime
colleague might offer to
mediate.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
Some emerging matters
could impede the Lion's
progress in completing an
important project. Best
advice: Deal with them now,
before they can create costly
delays.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) Your aspect con-
tinues to favor an expanding
vista. This could be a good
time to make a career move,
and taking an out-of-town
job could be a good way to do
it.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Disruptive fami-
ly disputes need to be settled
so that everyone can move
on. Avoid assuming this bur-
den alone, though. Ask for —
no, demand — help with this
problem.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Patience is
called for as you await word
on an important workplace
situation. A personal circum-
stance, however, could bene-
fit by your taking immediate
action.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21)
Don't lose confidence in
yourself. Those doubters are
likely lo back off if you
demand they show solid
proof why they think your
ideas won't work.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) A tempo-
rary setback might cause the
usually sure-footed Goat
some unsettling moments.
But keep going. The path
ahead gets easier as you
move forward.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) There's wel-
come news from the work-
place. There also could be
good news involving a rela-
tionship that has long held a
special meaning for you.
PISCES (February 19 lo
March 20) You might still
need to cut some lingering
ties to a situation that no
longer has the appeal it once
held. In the meantime, you
can start to explore other
opportunities.
BORN THIS WEEK:
Your sense of what's right
can inspire others if you
remember not to push too
hard to make your case. Mod-
eration works best for you.

The third place winner was
"Celebrate Quincy" by the
Montclair playground.

Nick Furey and Mikey Har-
rington worked on "Shark
Attack."
The QRD leaders from

nehey and Mike Powers.

ton and Nick Beon created

ald and Demari Dailey were

brate Quincy" with the help
of participants Jenny Dun-
phy, Kara Rowland, Cait-
lin Bulger, Madison Hally,

'An Unexpected Gift From The Past '
Opening Of Abigail Time
Capsule Delights Hundreds
By LAURA GRIFTIN
Some 200-300 per-
sons overflowed Quincy
Historical Society hall
Monday as historians and
city officials unlocked the
secrets of a 112 year-old
time capsule recently un-
covered at the Abigail Ad-
ams cairn on Peims' Hill,
West Quincy.
Just after 6 p.m., con-
struction workers with wire
cutters stripped open the
top of the copper-lined 14-
inch tin box which had been
placed in the Abigail Adams
cairn in 1896.
The workers, Duane
Hay den, Supervisor and
David Diaz of Phoenix
Bay State Construction
Co., Boston discovered
the box as they dismantled
the 14-foot cairn which
had been seriously dam-
aged by time and weather
over the past century.

In a message to parents.
School Superintendent Dr.
Richard DeCristofaro prom-
ised an open door policy to
all who have children in the
Quincy schools.
"It is with confidence and
pride in the Quincy Pub-
lic Schools that 1 welcome
students and staff back and

the families we have the
privilege to serve." he said.
■'If you ever need to speak

The school system, he
said, "is proud of its tradi
tion of excellence founded
in so many educational and
academic opportunities.

tently focuses on our stu-
dents and their families.

ate from North and Quincy

Health Department Urges Caution
West Nile Virus Detected
In Mosquito Found Here
The West Nile virus has
been detected in a mosquito
sample collected in Quincy,
it was announced Tuesday
by the Massachusetts De-
partment of Public Health.
The exact spot where
the sample was taken was
not specified, except that it
came from a marshy area.
"There is no cause for
alarm," said Health Com-
missioner Draw Scheele.
"Just be cautious during the
early morning hours, wear
long sleeved shirts and use
plenty of mosquito repel-
lent with Deet."
The presence of West
Nile virus in a community is
measured by its discov-ery
in the local mosquito popu-
lation and the dead birds
found to be positive.
No dead birds that re-
quired testing in the state
lab were reported found in
Quincy.
West Nile virus can in-
fect people of all ages but
those over the age of 50 are
particularly susceptible.
It is transmitted to hu-
mans through the bite of a
mosquito infected by the
virus.
The Quincy and State
Health Departments urge
the public to avoid mos-
quito bites and reduce the
mosquito population around
their homes by draining
stagnant watt pools.
The state encourages
all residents to report dead
birds, particularly crows
and jays, by calling 1-866-
MASS-WNV (1-866-627-
7968).
Early Deadline For
Next Week's Sun
Because of the Labor
Day holiday, there will be
an early news and adver-
tising deadline for next
week's Quincy Sun.
News, church, organi-
zations and youth sports
releases, retail and classi-
fied advertising and legal
notices should be in The
Sun office, 1372 Hancock
St., by noon tomorrow
(Friday) to assure publica-
tion in the Sept. 4 issue.
The Sun will be closed
Monday, Sept. 1.
Thank you and have a
nice, safe, holiday week-
end.

Myles Standish Cairn Also Has Time Capsule
Quincy^s First Cairn Stands
Solid After All These Years
There's more than one
cairn in Quincy marking the
city's spectacular history.
While the Abigail Adams
Cairn is simply a heap of
stone awaiting reconstruc-
tion today, Quincy 's other
cairn, built a year earlier,
remains tall , strong, and,
unfortunately, neglected.
The Myles Standish cairn
stands nearly five miles
away in Squantum Park as
a silent sentinel, overlook-
ing the channel between
the Quincy mainland and
Thompson Island.
This cairn was raised in
tribute to Captain Myles
Standish and his friend and
guide, Squanto or Tisquan-
to.
Both the Adams cairn,
built in 1896. and the
Standish Cairn, built in
1S95, were erected by the
Daughters of the Revolu-
tion, in conjunction with the
Quincy and Boston Histori-
cal Societies.
Deep in its interior, the
Standish cairn also holds a
time capsule, but there are
no secrets.
An itemized list of that
time capsule were meticu-
lously recorded in published
reports of the Standish cairn
dedication held on Sept. 30,
1895 and preserved, today,
on microfiche at the Thomas
Crane Public Library.
Tucked in the box at the
Standish cairn are a map
of Quincy, remarks by the
Honorable Charles Francis
Adams, newspapers, his-
toric lists, dedication invi-
tations, a copy of the city's
sewer map, and, just as a
teaser, a sprinkling of coins
and other tokens.
The Quincy Historical
Society supplied the boxes
for the comer stones of
both cairns and the bill for
the cost of the box was also
saved.
Unveiled on Sept. 30,
1895, the Standish cairn
commemorates the landing
of the pilgrim leader. Cap-
tain Myles Standish, and
Native American Squanto
or Tisquanto on the Quincy
mainland on Sept. 30, 1621 .
Standish and his party of
Pilgrims and Squanto, actu-
ally spent the previous night
of Sept. 29 on Thompson's
Island.
According to published
reports, the Standish cairn
was dedicated on a glorious
fall Monday in 1896.
The main speaker was
Adams who would later be-
come a Quincy mayor and
be appointed Secretary of
the Navy by President Her-
bert Hoover.
In his speech, Adams de-
scribed Standish 's trip from
Plymouth and lauded the
guide Squanto for whom
Squantum is named. The
Nelson Titus's of Squantum
organized the event.
The ceremony attracted
some 200 persons, a Who's
Who of the Social Register,
to what is now Squantum
Park or Squaw Rock Park.

station to meet the people

Mariano y Roos Candidates
Joint Convention To Pick
Mulvey Successor Sept. 2
A joint convention of the
City Council and the School
Committee will meet Tues-
day, Sept. 2, at 6 p.m. in the
Council Chamber to selejt a
successor to Kevin Mulvey
on the School Committee.
Mulvey resigned in Janu-
ary with two years remain-
ing on his four-year term to
take a job as human resourc-
es director of the Quincy
Public Schools.
Mayor Thomas P. Koch,
who called the convention,
has talked State Rep, Ron
Mariano into seeking a re-
turn to the seat he held for
16 years before retiring in
2005.
Since then, however,
Karl Roos, a pharmaceuti-
cal salesman with three chil-
dren in Quincy schools but
a dearth of experience with
elective office, has served
notice that he too wants the
seat.
Any registered voter in
the city can apply for the
School Committee post
which will be filled by vote
of the nine city councillors
and the six remaining mem-
bers of the School Commit-
tee.
Mayor Koch himself will
have one vote as chairman
of the committee by virtue
of his office as chairman.
The convention will
mark the second time in six
months that a vacancy on the
School Committee has been
filled. The last time, Nick
Puleo was picked to replace
Jim Timmins, who quit to
become city solicitor.
Roos was runnerup to
Puleo in that February vote
with four votes to the win-
ner's 10.
Koch said he will rec-
ommend the same rules for
next Tuesday's convention.
Each candidate will make
a brief presentation fol-
lowed by questions, then a
vote. The first candidate to
receive eight votes will be
appointed..
The mayor cited as the
primary basis of his support
for Mariano the latter's ex-
perience and knowledge of
the city's ongoing school
construction projects,
"This is an extraor-
dinary time for our city's
schools and Ron's depth

of knowledge, his positive
working relationships at
the state level and his abil-
ity to work together to solve
problems will be an extraor-
dinary asset on the School
Committee," he said.
"I will be proudly voting
for his appointment."
The vacancy on the
School Committee comes
at a time when plans are
underway for a replacement
for Central Middle School,
which has been called by
the state one of the most
needed projects in the Com-
monwealth.
The State School Build-
ing Authority has already
met with city officials on
several occasions to lay the
groundwork for a smooth
and cost-efficient operation.
After that, the city will
pursue needed renovation to
Sterling Middle School.

The Worcester Tornado And Eddie's Diner
Whenever I hear a weather report with the hint of
a possible tornado I pay close attention because
it reminds me of the Worcester tornado and its awful
wrath.
And on a lighter side, I always remember that mem-
orable breakfast the following morning at Eddie's Din-
er here in Quincy.
That's an odd combination. So, if you have a minute
or two let me explain:
That awesome twister tore through Worcester and
Central Massachusetts on an 80-minute rampage, tak-
ing 94 lives, injuring nearly 1 300 and causing an esti-
mated $53 million in damage on June 9, 1953.
It was one of New England's worst weather disas-
ters and biggest news stories.
Debris fell here in Quincy and the South Shore, car-
ried airborne all the way from Worcester, alerting us
that something was wrong.
I was a reporter at The Ledger and got a call at
home to go to Worcester to cover the story-if I could
get there.
I checked with the Quincy Police Department to
see what they knew and learned they were sending a
cruiser to Worcester to help police there. Figuring I
would have trouble trying to get through sure-to-be
roadblocks in my own car, I hitched a ride in the cruis-
er with Officers Arthur Duffy and Dante Pettinelli.
You might say we got off to a bad start.
We had hardly left the police station parking lot
when a tire went flat.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of that," said Pettinelli.
He hopped out of the car and it seemed only a minute
before he had the spare on and off we went.
As we approached Worcester there were roadblocks
but we were waved right through. We arrived at the
Great Brook Valley and Curtis Apartments veterans
housing project about four miles north of Worcester
center that had caught the full force of the tornado.
We could hardly believe what we saw.
The area, with brick apartment buildings occupied
by more than 500 families looked like it had been
bombed.
Duffy and Pettinelli quickly began helping to po-
lice the area and I started gathering information for my
story. There was a lot to gather.
The clocks in the apartment were stopped at 5:20
p.m., pinpointing the time the tornado roared through
that area on a zig-zag coiu'se.
It was a wild scene.
Blankets and sheets were ripped off beds by the
force of the winds in some apartments and dangled
from shattered windows. Yet in other apartments,
dishes and half-eaten dinners were left undisturbed on
kitchen tables.
Roofs on some of the buildings were sheared off,
copper flashing rolled into twisted balls on others. A
kitchen sink hung from branches of a tree.
A row of single-family homes on a slope were
mowed down-boards and beams driven across the
street and pounded into piles of splinters.

Capitol Waste, Inc.
All that was left of one house was the bathtub. A
National Guardsman said a man and a woman were
blown out of their home and carried 75 yards down the
street to their deaths.
There was also a report of a baby being blown out
of its mother 's arms .
Cars, and a bus, too, were picked up by the toma-
do's force, flipped over and slammed down on their
roofs. A two-by-four beam was speared through a re-
frigerator,
A witness and siurivor said the tornado, with winds
over 300 miles per hour, made the famed Hurricane of
1938 look like "a siunmer breeze."
Pettinelli, Duffy and I spent the night there and
headed back to Quincy in the early morning. We hadn't
eaten and were hungry.
"Let's get some breakfast," Duffy said.
Cops always know where the good food is. So we
pulled into Eddie's Diner, a landmark eatery at Quincy
Avenue and Southern Artery, now the site of the South
Shore Savings Bank.
"I'll buy," I told them, grateful for them getting me
to and back from Worcester in the cruiser. And think-
ing they might go for a blueberry muffin and a cup of
coffee or something light and inexpensive like that.
Duffy and Pettinelli were long-time partners and
good cops. With good appetites. And a good sense of
humor.
And, as I remember, one of them said: "Well, if
you're buying I'll have juice, coffee, a nice big steak
and a large order of eggs."
"Sounds good to me," said the other.
"What the hell," I told myself. "I might as well have
the same."
And we enjoyed every bit of it.
But then the check came and with it the moment of
truth. I didn't have enough money. Reporters didn't
make much back then. Still don't, today's reporters
will tell you.
I promised the waitress I would be back. Duffy and
Pettinelli vouched for my honesty-after they stopped
laughing.
Off to the Ledger-then on Temple Street-I went and
filled out an expense slip. I handed it to either John
Herbert, the editor, or Don Wilder, city editor. Which-
ever one it was, he had a good laugh, too. But he
okayed the amount, I don't remember how much. And
said the tornado story was a least a three-steak story.
I went back to Eddie's and settled up.
Pettinelli and Duffy never let me forget that break-
fast.
Eddie's Diner is no longer here. It was closed in
1993 after a fire. And in 1998 carried off to New Bed-
ford on a flatbed trailer where plans were to restore it.
Whenever I think of the Worcester Tornado I also
think of Eddie's Diner. For a night and a morning, they
went together like ham and eggs. Make that steak.
I'd like to see Eddie's back here for old times sake.
But I would never want to ever see a tornado like that
one in Worcester touch down in Quincy.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1923 real photo postcard view of the old
Brooks-Skinner Company's outdoor small-building
exhibit on Adams Street in Lakin Square. The company
started in Randolph and moved here in Quincy where
they built a large fabrication factory on land between
what is now Stedman Street and Wallace Road. They
sold a wide-range of buildings made of wood and steel
including garages, bungalows, cottages, cabins, gas sta-
tions, storage buildings, school houses and many others.
They built up to 3,000 buildings a year at their plant
here. The exhibit area shown above was between Rob-
ertson and Stedman Streets. In this view today a Burger
King is on the left and a Seven-Eleven is one the right.
The old factory on Stedman Street has been demolished
and replaced with single-family houses. To contact Tom
Galvin, e-mail tmgalvin@verizon.net.

Thanks Legislators For 'Green' Bills
Several exciting bills
were passed during the
state's last legislative ses-
sion - the Green Communi-
ties Bill, the Global Warm-
ing Bill, the Green Jobs
Bill, and the Environmental
Bond Bill, among others.
These bills are necessary for
the state to reduce its emis-
sions of greenhouse gases.
improve its environment,
increase the health of its
citizens, and, as Governor
Patrick says, sow the seeds
for a new green economy.
1 would like to thank our
state legislators and Gov-
ernor Patrick for making
Massachusetts a leader in
addressing these important
environmental issues.
Quincy 's Senator Mike
Morrissey deserves special
recognition for his work
on the Green Communities
Bill, which encourages in-
vestment in energy conser-
vation and efficiency. It also
makes community-owned
clean energy projects more
attractive than ever.
Energy prices are not go-
ing down. 1 hope Quincy
will take advantage of the
new policies and its own
wind resource to reduce its
carbon footprint along with
its energy expenses.
Two or three wind tur-
bines the size of Hull 11
would likely cover the mu-
nicipality's electric bill.

Mitt Romney Is Best Veep Candidate On Either Ticket
According to a recent
newspaper article. Rep.
Bamey Frank (D-Mass)) used
website and media conference
aimed to discredit Romney as
a potential Republican vice
presidential running mate for
Senator John McCain.
This is what Bamey Frank
is quoted as saying : "1 have
never seen anyone so com-
pletely without any com-
mitment to any particular
principle and so willing to
say whatever will help him
get elected."
To begin with, I would
like to remind Bamey Frank
that every politician with a
chicken's common sense,
would say only those things
that he would think would
help him get elected.
As a governor of a lib-
eral state of Massachusetts,
Mitt Romney was happy
to honestly and conscien-
tiously represent all people of
Massachusetts , whether they
agreed with him politically or
not.
Bamey Frank also misin-
formed his listeners that he
did not know anyone so un-
committed to any particular
principle as was Romney 's
case. Not only the people of
Massachusetts but the world
at large knows that that is
not true. On the contrary, no
American, since America
began , has been committed so
constandy and consistently to
the Bible, since the age of 1 7,
as Mitt Romney has been.
While other young people
of his age went to France
to be taught. Mitt Romney
went to France to teach.. He
went to France to remind
the Frenchmen that all their
wonderful books would not
amount to much if they would
forget that it is the Bible that
is the best book ever written,
and it is the Bible that tells
right from wrong.
Mitt Romney, since the
age of 17, has been spread-
ing the news that the Bible is
cemented in the foundation of
Western Civilization.
Yes, he flip-flops occa-
sionally, and whenever he
flip-flops he corrects himself.
For him the right way is the
Biblical way and the right
way is for Mitt Romney more
important than consistency.
On the other hand, he is
fully aware that the obliga-
tion of every elected official
is twofold: Number 1 - the
elected official represents the
people and has the obligation
to represent the people's
views. Number 2 - the
elected official is the leader
who points the way. He has
to be careful, though, when
to express his views that
may collide with people's
views. If his views would
collide with people's views
he would not be elected, and
if not elected, he could not
help the people.
Mitt Romney has shown
that he uses timing at the right
time and would be the best
vice presidential candidate
not only on Republican but
also on Democratic ticket.

LaRaia Master Plan:
Raze, Rebuild Half
Of Downtown Area
By FRANK McCAULEY
Mayor Joseph LaRaia will unveil a comprehensive down-
town Master Plan in six phases that calls for the eventual
demolition of virtually half of Quincy
Center from Cottage Avenue to Elm
and School Streets.
It will include a new highway
through the very center of downtown
Quincy from Granite Street across the
old Soda Hut through the site of the
Kincaide'sbuilding,tojoin a reconstructed McGrath Highway
on the other side of Hancock Street.
It will also feature an international merchandise mart
over the Hancock Parking area, a high-rise motel topped by
a restaurant at the site of Napoli Pizza and a high-rise office
building on the site of the Colman's parking lot.
The plan, designed by Planning Director L. Norman Lundin
and T. Owen Trainor Associates, Inc.. architects, is to be of-
ficially presented to businessmen and city officials Aug. 26
at the Quincy High School Method Center.
LaRAIASEES UNDER $5 TAX HIKE
Mayor LaRaia says he expects that the assessors will be
prepared by the end of August, to set the tax rate for 1978
and it will show an increase of less than $5 over the $194.80
rate of last year.
He said the state Department of Corporations and Taxation
will probably approve the rate a day or two later if the Cit\
Council resolves pending financial matters at its upcoming
special meeting.

13-Foot Sunflower Wins
'Grow Together' Contest
Dave Cedrone of 108
Montclair Ave. was ac-
claimed the winner of the
16* annual "Grow Togeth-
er" contest with a sunflower
measuring just short of 13
feet in height.
First runnerup as a sun-
flower almost nine feet tall
grown by Adam McGlee
and the children from the
Quincy Point Congregation-
al Church who planted the
seed and tended the flower
all summer.
A special "honorable
lueniion " went to Mary Ann
Mahony and Alyson Ryan
of Beechwood on the Bay,
which went out of existence
as the city's senior center
prepared to move in this
summer.
"The seniors and Beech-
wood children planted
countless sunflower seeds
around the building," said
Sharron Beals, the execu-
tive director. 'Although not
'officially' competing in
the contest they were proud
to see some of their plants
growing to 1 1 feet."
The contest was spon-
sored by The Quincy Sun,
Beechwood on the Bay and
Almquist Flowerland.
DAVID CEDRONE and his girl friend, Stephanie Ennauni,

Koch Names Committee
To Monitor Compliance
With Municipal Labor Laws
Mayor Thomas P. Koch
has announced the creation
of a working committee of
city officials and labor lead-
ers to monitor compliance
with the local municipal la-
bor rules.
The committee will be
made up of Thomas Wil-
liams, business manager
of Laborers Union Local
133; Rick Braccia, business
manager of the Carpenters
Union Local 424; Mayoral
Aide Thomas Fabrizio; In-
spectional Services Director
Jay Duca and City Solicitor
James Timmins or his des-
ignee.
They will be charged
with ensuring that Quincy's
"responsible employer or-
dinance" is being followed
on all public projects and
requirements are met by
companies bidding on pubic
projects.
"Our administration is
committed to an open door
with labor and committed
to making sure that our la-
bor laws are enforced," said
Koch.
"We have many public
projects on our plate in the
near future and I am proud
that we are forging a posi-
tive working relationship
with organized labor."
The committee will re-
view payroll certification,
make sure that contractors
are paying prevailing wages,
ensure that no illegal immi-
grants are working on a site
and check compliance with
other labor laws.
It is likely that the focus
of most of the committee's
efforts in the near future will
be construction of the new
Quincy High School, the
largest project of its kind in
the city's history.
Some labor groups raised
concerns about one of the
contractors who won a
major bid for the project,
said Koch. All the contrac-
tors were pre-qualified and
submitted bids before Koch
took office.
City Solicitor Timmins
said there have been no le-
gal issues with any of the
contractors and oversight
has been conducted regu-
larly but the city cannot turn
down a prequalified low
bidder.
"Our office and the may-
or's office has met regularly
with union leaders about
these issues and this com-
mittee will be a welcome
added layer of oversight and
enforcement," said Tim-
mins.

I was reading a Consum-
er Product Safety Commis-
sion (CPSC) bulletin on tu-
bular halogen lamps, which
hinted at the associated risk
with them, verses a lamp us-
ing a typical incandescent
light bulb. I'd like to convey
the Commission's concern
here to you. (CPSC Issues
Warning on Tubular Halo-
gen Bulbs)
Let me first; however, be-
gin by reminding you what
a halogen lamp can look
like. They were first made
available in 1983. At that
time they appeared as high
pedestal lamps with a glass
bowl-like configuration on
the top of the pedestal. The
halogen bulbs sat within the
baseof that bowl.
More recently, these
halogen lamps also referred
to as torchiere lamps, take
on a more current designer
look. I'm familiar with one,
which sits on pedestal with
a mobile like appearance,
having a long horizontal
arm with the bulb located
at the very end of that arm.
They can be quite modem
and sleek looking while
there is a potential hidden
hazard that you should be
aware of if you are currently
using one.
A typical incandescent
light bulb emits heat at
around 260 degrees Fahr-
enheit. That's enough heat
that consideration should be
given to maintaining a lamp
on a stable base, away from
combustibles, so that the hot
bulb and combustibles will
never come in contact with
each other.
On the other hand, a hal-
ogen bulb can reach temper-
atures ranging from about
970 degrees Fahrenheit to
1,2000 degrees Fahrenheit.
That is a sizeable difference
while the higher tempera-
tures dictate a higher risk
and consequently more con-
sideration should be given
to isolate these lamps from
combustibles such as cur-
tains, newspapers, clothing
and ahke.
Consequently, the CPSC
has some specific recom-
mendations for safer use of
halogen bulbs:
Never place a tubular
halogen bulb in a location
where it can come in direct
contact with a combustible.
Never leave a halogen bulb
on when you leave a room
or home. Never drape cloths
over such a bulb; this was a
frequent accidental occur-
rence when they first came
on the market.
If a halogen bulb is
equipped with a dinmier
switch, operate the lamp at a
setting lower than the maxi-
mum. And lastly, keep these
lamps away from elevated
beds such as bunk beds
where bedding can come in
contact with these typically
higher lamps.
The purpose of that bul-
letin and this article is to
raise your awareness of the
difference in incandescent
bulb use and halogen bulb
use. The higher temperature
associated with the latter
suggests the need for extra
safety consideration when
using a lamp with a halogen
bulb.
Please be mindful of this
and use them wisely. Thank
you for doing so!

CHARCOT'S FOOT
Charcot's foot is a sudden
softening of the bones In the
foot that develops as a result
of neuropathy. This neuropa-
thy, often the result of diabetes,
decreases sensation in the
foot as well as the ability to feel
temperature, pain and trauma.
The bones in the foot are weak-
ened enough to fracture, and
with continued walking, the foot
eventually changes shape. As
the disorder progresses, the
arch collapses, and the foot
takes on a convex shape, giv-
ing it a rocker-bottom appear-
ance and making it very diiffkxjit
to walk. The symptoms of Char-
cot's foot are similar to those of
infectk>n. Although Charcot's
foot and infection are different
conditions, both are serious
problems requiring immedi-
ate medical treatment when
signs or symptoms appear.
Untreated foot problems can
be more than just a momentary
nuisance. They can devekip
into complicated conditbns
with serious consequences,
so be sure to treat your feet to
specialized care from a podia-
trist. You'll find we are just as
concerned as you are about the
health of your feet. If your feet
are suffering because of neu-
ropathy, trauma, disease, skin
or nail conditions, or hereditary
problems, we invite you to call
781 -986-3668 for personalized
foot care. Offrce hours are by
appointment at QUINCY MED-
ICAL CENTER. Offrce hours
are also available at 999 North

Buying Or Selling in Today's Market?
Internet Paves The Path To Real Estate Success
(ARA) - Home buyers
and sellers - the relationship
may seem like it should be
more adversarial than ever,
given the current market.
Coming at the real estate
equation from opposite si-
des, buyers and sellers may
feel they have little in com-
mon. The truth is, however,
that both groups share a
common path to real estate
success - the Internet.
The Internet has been re-
volutionizing real estate for
years now; more than 80 per-
cent of buyers look at homes
on the Internet, according
to the National Association
of Realtors (NAR). "More
homes than ever before are
being marketed on the In-
ternet," says Kendra Todd,
of HGTV's "My House is
Worth What?" and season
three winner of "The Ap-
prentice." "Whether you're
buying or selling, it's essen-
tial to work with a real estate
expert who is on the cusp of
the latest trends, especially
the Internet."
Even the most techno-
savvy among us may feel
overwhelmed by the volume
of real estate information -
and listings - available on
the Internet. How do you sort
through it if you're a buyer?
And how do you find the
right agent who will know
how to maximize Internet
marketing value, if you're
a seller? Here are tips from
real estate experts - Todd,
Saul Klein, CEO of Point2
Technologies, the company
behind a leading real estate
Web site, Point2 Homes,

Tips for Sellers
* With home prices still
falling in many areas of
the country, it's probably
tempting to try to sell on
your own and avoid paying
a commission to an agent.
"But homes represented
by agents historically sell
faster and for a better price
than those sold by owners,"
Klein points out. "It's harder
and riskier to try selling on
your own."
* Select an Internet-savvy
real estate agent to represent
you. Questions to ask any
agent you're considering
include: Do you plan to use
syndication to publish my
listing widely? Do you co-
ver Craigslist, Yahoo! , Goo-
gle, etc.? How many sites
will my home be on? What
kind of traffic do those sites
receive? Will you purchase
ad space on the Internet?
* Use the Internet to
find a tech-sawy agent. At
Point2Homes.com, sellers
can find local agents with
sophisticated Internet mar-
keting skills. These agents
use Point2 Technologies'
Web marketing software,
Point2 Agent to syndicate
listings and to create and
maintain user-friendly, in-
formative Web sites desig-
ned to help their clients sell
their homes.
Tips for Buyers
* Take full advantage
of the Internet's research
power. "The Intemet can
give you more relevant real
estate information than just
listings," Todd says. "You
can use it to evaluate price
trends in areas of interest,
access city hall records on
development plans for your
area, check out crime sta-
tistics, school facilities and
noise issues."
* "Begin with a clear vi-
sion of why you're buying
and how long you intend to
be in the house," Pevehouse
advises. "This will help
you determine what kind
of home you're looking for
and what mortgage product
is right for you."
* Working with an Inter-
net-savvy agent is as impor-
tant for buyers as it is for
sellers, Todd says. "Does
the realtor provide dynamic
info? Is he or she comfor-
table communicating with
e-mail, text messaging and
other technology tools?"
* While you're resear-
ching online, keep in mind
the difference between
blogs and information, Todd
advises. "Blogs are just opi-
nions." Look for fact-based
sites and be sure the infor-
mation you find is not out-
dated.
* "Real estate is inten-
sely regional," Todd says.

One thing that came as-is

Should I just glue this

face on which you walk (in
this case, the vinyl). When
building a modem house,
sheets of plywood make up
the base of the floors. These
are usually (but not idways)

Underiayment is quite
stuixly and, as long as it is
not damaged or wet, can last
many yeans.
A thin cut in vinyl sheet-
ing, as long as the edges still
meet, can be quickly reglued
so that the cut is not notice-
able. If the gash in the vinyl
sheeting is jagged or the
edges are curling back from
the cut, you'll probably have
to patch or replace the sheet.
As you've just moved in,
now might be a good time to
c(Mi$ider replacing the vinyl
sheet. You can roll out new
sheeting or spring for a dif-
ferent floor covering such as
vinyl or ceramic tile. It's
also a prime opportunity to
inspect the underiayment
and make sure it is dry, firm

Remembering Kathy Hanabury
Hanabury Foundation Moves Ahead
To Save City's Stray, Feral Cats
By LAURA GRIPHN
Elephants weep and kit-
tens wail and no one felt
their pain more than the late
Kathy Hanabury.
Friends and family re-
cently marked the 10th an-
niversary of Kathy 's death
at age 44 with renewed zest
for continuing her work pro-
tecting animals.
As a young law student.
Kathy pioneered animal
rights and animal protec-
tions in Quincy and court
cases, long before such is-
sues took center stage na-
tionally.
Before Jeffrey Mous-
saieff's book When Ele-
phants Weep became a best
seller, Kathy convinced
skeptical city councillors to
institute the city's ban on
circus elephants.
Last week , Cynthia Haigh
of Milton described Kathy 's
meeting with city council-
lors in 1995 as "...the finest
moment I had with Kathy."
Haigh who attended (then)
Central Junior High school
with Kathy joined with her
in efforts to protect animals.
At the hearing, Kathy
asked councillors to ban
circus animals from the
city. According to Haigh,
Kathy then described el-
ephants packed into train
cars, moved from city to
city in chains, trained with
hooks, and prodded with
iron poles.
Haigh recalls Ward 1
Councillor Leo Kelly sup-
porting the ban by saying
youngsters don't need to see
"elephants in tutus (when)
you can turn on public TV
and see how they live in a
natural setting."
Other cities have since
adopted such bans.
Before outrageous ex-
periments on animals were
regularly exposed, Kathy
worked with Atty. John
McDuff on a landmark court
case fighting "The Draize
Test."
The case exposed cos-
metic companies that blind-
ed rabbits by spraying their
eyes with experimental liq-
uid.
One of Kathy 's ma-
jor concerns was always
the feral cat problem. Left
untreated, stray and aban-
doned cats muhiply by the
hundreds of thousands over
years and create a local and
national concern with mil-
lions homeless and howling
in colonies.
Kathy was, also, instru-
mental in moving Quincy
leaders to recognize Oct. 16
as National Feral Cat Day.
but she didn't stop there.
She began serious work on
the feral cat problem which
continues in her name to-
day.
Kathy Hanabury was
young when she was strick-
en with breast cancer, but her
legacy lives on through the
Kathy Hanabury Founda-
tion, established by Kathy 's
mother, Marilyn Hanabury.
in 1999.
The foundation is a non-
profit 50 IC organization
dedicated to abandoned ani-
mals, specifically feral cats.
Back in 1995 when
Kathy began her work with
feral cats, the Massachu-
setts Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals
(MSPCA) reported 582,000
stray and feral cats in Mas-
sachusetts.
Last week, Hanabury
quoted a 1996 Brown and
Miriocca study estimating
some 60 million stray or fe-
ral cats in the United States.
"In a matter of years,"
Hanabury said that unster-
ilized cats could produce
thousands of additional fe-
ral cats. Cats are fertile or
in heat twice a year and will
produce litters of four to six
kittens. "This is a national
problem. Feral cats are ev-
erywhere."
Funds raised through the
foundation are used directly
for the benefit and medical
care of animals and to sup-
port and assist individual
KATHY HANABURY
caretakers and animal groups
engaged in the management
of feral cat colonies.
"TNR, trap, neuter, re-
lease" is the slogan for the
Hanabury Foundation and
most groups working with
feral cats.
"Every dime we raise
goes to veterinarians except
for postage," Hanabury said
of the Foundation which has
treated thousands of feral
cats since its inception.
According to Hanabury,
the foundations has trapped,
neutered and returned 20 to
30 cats a month in the past
nine years.
"It's a lot of work; it's
time-consuming," said
Haigh, describing the pro-
cedure for trapping a cat
which means waiting until
the proper time and having
the proper knowledge.
Some veterinarians avoid
the feral cat problem while
others are eager to assist
their cause and, even for
large organizations, the is-
sue can be overwhelming.
"Feral cats are every-
where." Hanabury said.
"You can talk to anyone in
the street. They'll say, 'Oh
yes, I've seen cats in my
yard."
Hanabury described feral
cat colonies in Marina Bay
and Houghs Neck and said,
in some areas, the problem
is especially critical because
of today's economic crises.
As a real estate broker.
Hanabury sees more home
foreclosures today. At fore-
closure time, it's not un-
usual to learn of abandoned
animals.
Feral cats can not be do-
mesticated but theu- kittens,
if caught young enough, can
be neutered, spayed and ad-
opted.
Nighttime near feral cat
colonies sometimes brings
the sound of fighting, but
Hanabury said, "They don't
fight after they've been neu-
tered."
"I know of six caretak-
ers," said another friend of
Kathy 's, Virginia Hutchins
of Quincy. Hutchins de-
scribed 30 cats in one col-
ony and a colony of four in
North Quincy.
"To say that they're wild
scares people," Hutchins
said, explaining that feral
cats are terrified of people.
"They just turn around and
go away. They will run
from people."
The Hanabury Founda-
tion works with Alley Cat
Allies, a national resource
group for feral cat agencies.
The Allies attempt to edu-
cate the public and reduce
fears that feral cats are dan-
gerous or unhealthy.
In the spring of 2007,
the Alley Cat Allies bulle-
tin noted, "The truth is that
feral cats as a group are
healthy and should be saved
and managed with TNR."
Thanks to efforts by
Hanabury and then Ward 6
Councillor Ahcia Gardner,
the City Council endorsed
TNR, the trap, neuter, return
program as the most effec-
tive program in 2005.
Under the TNR approach,
colony cats are sterilized
and young kittens removed
from the colony.
"Trap, neuter and return
breaks the cycle of repro-
duction," according to Alley
Cat Allies research which
states that if feral cats are re-
moved, then other cats will
move in.
"The Quincy Animal
Shelter now has a feral cat
rescue program and they do
a wonderful job," Hanabury
said, citing the special work
of Jan Parisi.
However, the shelter,
a no-kill facility, can noi
do this work alone, said
Hutchins. "They don't have
enough people "
She believes volunteer
groups, such as the Hanab-
ury Foundation, are essential
in addressing the problems.
The Hanabury Founda-
tion will continue its work
into the next decade, ac-
cording to Hanabury who
announced she will be step-
ping down and acting in an
advisory position in the fu-
ture.
Last week. Hanabury an-
nounced that Hutchins will
serve as president of the
foundation and Haight as
vice-president.
Hutchins already has
plans,
"We've been operating
on a very minimal budget."
she said, noting that she
hopes to estabUsh a web site
for the foundation, organize
two fundraisers a year, and
an educational program for
school children as well as
information packets for the
public.
Hanabury knows her
daughter's work will con-
tinue and the young woman
loved by so many will be re-
membered, not only for her
work with animals, but her
love of life on the ski slopes,
bicycle trails, and her love
of the Boston Symphony.
"There was no one who
didn't love her," said Hanab-
ury.
"She was a wonderful
person," said Haight. de-
scribing Kathy "...as sweet
and kind as they come."

A Job Well Done
On July 27, 2008, at approximately 8:43 A.M., Officer
William Lanergan was dispatched to an apartment build-
ing oif East Howard Street on
a report of a suicidal party.
Officers Joe McGuni-
gle, Dan Francis and Ser-
geant Sean Duggan also re-
sponded to the call. En route
to the call, responding units
were notified that the female
caller was still on the tele-
phone and was threatening to
jump off the third floor bal-
cony. Dispatcher Tim Shee-
han kept the caller on the
phone trying to convince her
not to jump while buying time for the Police Officers to
arrive on scene.
Responding Officers were informed that the suicidal
woman had her three-year-old son in the apartment with
her. When the Officers arrived on scene, they immedi-
ately proceeded to the third floor where they were met by
a neighbor, who confirmed that the woman was about to
jump off the balcony and pointed to the apartment door.
Officer Lanergan tried the door but it was locked. Due
to exigent circumstances and concern for the woman and
the child, he immediately kicked the door in. As the Of-
ficers entered the apartment. Sergeant Duggan found the
despondent woman just outside her bedroom.
When she saw the Officers, she immediately climbed
over the railing of the balcony. Sergeant Duggan lunged
for the woman and was able to grab hold of her, but her
weight started to take them both over the railing. The
other Officers quickly grabbed Sergeant Duggan and the
woman, then pulled them back onto the balcony. The
balcony was approximately forty feet high and direct-
ly below was a paved parking area. The woman was hys-
terical, crying and screaming, "I want to die" repeatedly.
Fallon Ambulance arrived on the scene and the woman
was secured to the stretcher and transported to Quincy
Medical Center for evaluation. Officer Lanergan went
back to the apartment and found a suicide note left be-
hind presumably by the woman. The handwritten note
was difficult to read but some parts were clearly under-
stood, such as "I'm sorry God for ending my life", "I
want to end my life" "I'm tired of living", and "I want
to be a DNR". A second note was also discovered that in-
structed the finder of the note to call her sister and tell her
that she was "sorry for all the pain I caused". Sergeant
Duggan was able to make contact with the sister and in-
form her of the situation. The three-year-old son was
transported to the Medical Center via ambulance and the
Department of Social Services responded to assess the
child's situation. Sergeant Duggan also contacted Spe-
cial Investigation Detective Karyn Barkas and she re-
sponded to the Medical Center too. Detective Barkas in-
terviewed the sister and learned that the woman was
depressed after breaking up with her boyfriend and was
also facing criminal charges. The sister said that the vic-
tim had made conmients about suicide recently but she
did not think she was serious. Detective Barkas and DSS
arranged to have the child stay with the sister while the
victim was admitted to the hospital. Nice Work!
In this case, the victim's sister was aware of the sui-
cidal tendencies but shrugged them off. Fortunately,
most initial attempted suicides are not successful and too
often a relative or friend is heard to make similar com-
ments that they knew he/she was depressed but never
thought they would go through with an act to coimnit sui-
cide. Suicide is such a tragedy for the victim and those
left behind, especially those who knew and could have
helped if they sought assistance. A simple call, even
if anonymous, to the Quincy Police Department would
have started the wheels rolling to intervention.

Opening Of Abigail Time
Capsule Delights Hundreds
Cont'd From Page 1
reconstructing the cairn as
directed by Mayor Thomas
Koch who said Monday that
a new time capsule will be
inserted in the reconstructed
cairn. Estimated cost of the
project is $50,000.
Wearing protective
gloves, Koch withdrew the
first object, a book, from the
capsule while Ward 2 City
Councillor Daniel Raymon-
di displayed the next object.
Raymondi and Margaret La-
forest of Quincy lobbied for
repair of the Adams Cairn.
Within the box, there
were no gold bars and no ox-
blood signatures. Instead,
there were historic treasures
in superb condition.
It didn't matter to the au-
dience ranging in age from
toddlers to senior citizens.
Each item removed and
displayed drew pleased re-
sponses from the spectators,
all eager to be witness to the
revelations.
Dr. Edward Fitzgerald,
Executive Director of the
Quincy Historical Society,
called the finding of the box,
"...an unexpected gift from
the past to the present."
Chief among the trea-
sures was a perfectly pre-
served parchment signed by
20 members of the Adams
Chapter of the Society of the
Daughters of the Revolution
(DAR), including Elizabeth
Combs Adams, the 88 year-
old grand-daughter of John
and Abigail Adams.
Once the parchment was
opened, spectators believed
the first signature was an
Abigail Adams original. It
was not but it was a dupli-
cate.
W^en the first item, a
book, was retrieved from
the box. Dr. Fitzgerald, Ex-
ecutive warned that it was
not Abigail Adams' diary.
Instead, it was a directory
from the Massachusetts So-
ciety of Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution.
The next item was a box
of the original invitations to
the dedication of the Abigail
Adams cairn on June 17,
1896.
Both the date and the
cairn's location are sig-
nificant because they com-
memorate the Battle of
Bunker Hill, a major battle
of the American Revolution.
Abigail and her son John
Quincy Adams watched the
smoke rise from the Charle-
stown battle at the location
of the cairn at Franklin and
Viden Sts.
"It was a moment that
Hved in John Quincy 's
memory right through his
life," said Fitzgerald.
A poem written about the
cairn for the 1 896 occasion
was, also, included in the
time capsule. A few of the
lines from the poem written
by Elizabeth Porter Gould
follow:
We built a cairn, replete
with loving thought
Of her, who, Queen of
Daughters, earned a na-
tion's praise....
SIGNED PARCHMENT SCROLL is held by City Historian Tom Galvin and Dr. Edward
Fitzgerald, Executive Director of the Quincy Historical Society. The scroll has a facsimile of
the signature of Abigail Adams and is signed by John and Abigail Adams' granddaughter Eliza-
beth. (Quincy Sun Photos/Robert Noble)
And may these stones,
so blessed by loving hearts
and hands
Be lasting symbols of
our glorious state
James Edwards, Presi-
dent of the Quincy Histori-
cal Society, called the cairn
"a terrific landmark on our
landscape."

Back-To-School Safety Rules
By LT. DAN MINTON
Crime Prevention Officer
It 's that time of year again .
Time to send your children
back to school. It can be a
frightening time for parents,
but if you prepare your child
for the big world you may
help save them from getting
into trouble.
• Make sure your children
are taking the safest route to
school and friends' houses,
one that avoids danger spots
like alleys, new construction,
and wooded areas.
• Encourage your chil-
dren to walk and play with
friends, not alone, and to stay
in well-lighted, open areas
where others can see them.
• Don't hang a house key
around your child's neck. It's
a telltale sign that you won't
LT. DAN MINTON
be at home when they return
from school. Put it inside a
pocket or sock.
• Teach children to walk
confidently and stay alert
to what's going on around
them.
• Encourage your children
to look out for other kids'
safety and report anything
they see that doesn't seem
right.
• Tell your children to stay
away from strangers who
hang around playgrounds,
public restrooms and empty
buildings.
• Rehearse with children
their full name, address, and
phone number (including
area code) and how to make
emergency phone calls from
home and public phones.
• Tell children never to
accept gifts or rides from
someone they don't know
well.
• Check your neighbor-
hood for areas that threaten
children's safety, like brush
in woodes areas, overgrown
shrubbery, abandoned build-
ings, bad lighting, vacant
lots littered with debris, no
sidewalks or bike paths next
to busy streets.
• Teach children to go
to a store clerk or security
guard and ask for help if
you become separated in a
store or shopping mall. Tell
them never to go into the
parking lot alone. Accom-
pany your children to public
restrooms.
• Teach children no one,
not even someone they know,
has the right to touch them in
a way that makes them feel
uncomfortable. Tell them
that they have the right to
say "No" to any adult in this
situation.
If you teach the above tips
to your children, they will
be better prepared to survive
in this great big. sometimes
crazy, world.

HEALTH and FITNESS
by Andrea \Nyatt
Take a Walk
One of I he most basic
everyday movements can
provide a greac start to a fit-
ness rouline. Walking can
produce health benefits
without ihe need for special
equipment or training pro-
grams. These include lower-
ing blood pressure, decreas-
ing the risk of conditions
such as heart disease and
high cholesterol, aiding in
lowering body fat and
increasing bone density and
strength. And when your
stress level gets too high —
take a walk! It's great for
reducing anxiety.
By increasing the number
of steps you take each day,
you can achieve great
results. Researchers have
found that 3,000 to 5,000
steps a day equate to about 2
to 2 1/2 miles. Increasing
those numbers can only
have a greater benefit.
Remember, each step takes
you closer to your fitness
goals.
You might think that your
schedule is too busy and that
it's impossible to find the
time to add more steps into
your day. But it may be easi-
er than you think. Taking the
stairs at work, parking far-
ther away from a store
entrance, or taking the l(Hig
way back to your office are
all ways to add steps
throughout your day.
At home, instead of sitting
and talking with a neighbor
on the phone. tr>' setting up
a time when the two of you
can walk around the block
and talk. If your friend isn't
close enough to meet, set up
a virtual walking buddy; usi
a hands-free phone and tall
with your friend as both o
you walk at different loca
tions. By the end of you
walk, you'll have improvei
your health and caught u]
on the latest news, all at th»
same time. This also can b
done while completing oth
er daily tasks such as takin]
care of the yard or walkinj
the dog.
Safety is important. Whei
walking outside, especial!;
alone, it is recommended
that you tell someone th<
exact route you'll be walk
ing and the times you plan ti
leave and return. Before yoi
leave, call and ask a neigh
bor to occasionally look ou
to check on you. Choosi
well-lighted and populates
areas where you can bt
seen.
Be creative! Find new ani
fun ways to increase yoi
and your family's step
each day. You'll be prcnnot

GUARDING AGAINST INJURY
For children and adoles-
cents who play contact sports,
a mouthguard is an important
piece of safety gear. New find-
ings in sports dentistry show
that, even in such non-contact
sports as gymnastics, mouth-
guards may help protect the
teeth. Thus, many experts now
recommend that a mouthguard
can be worn for any recreation-
al activity that poses a risk of
injury to the mouth. While there
are ready-made and "boil-and-
bite" mouthguards available,
mouthguards that are custom
made by the dentist are best at
protecting the teeth. Generally,
a mouth guard covers only the
upper teeth, however, in some
cases, the dentist will make
a mouthguard for the tower
teeth. The dentist will suggest
whfch is most appropriate.
A property fitted mouthguard
can he^ prevent broken teeth
and injuries to the lips, tongue,
face or jaw. It will stay in place
while you are wearing it, mak-
ing it easy for you to talk and
breath. Whether you need
bmshing tips or your teeth
cleaned, we can help. When
was the last time you had your
teeth checked by a profession-
al? Call us now at 617-479-
6220 and schedule an appoint-
ment for comprehensive dental
care. Your total emotional and
physical well-being is as im-
portant to us as your teeth.
We will do what is best for you
and we will not compromise.
We're located at 44 Greenleaf
Street. We offer the services
of anesthesiology with a fully
trained and qualified anesthe-
siologist. Visit us on the web

P.S. Before and after each
use, a nmuthguard shoukt be
rinsed with cold water or an an-
tJsepHc mouth rinse.
Healthy Eating Tips For The Great American Eat Right Challenge
Survey: Americans Know How To Reduce Their
Risk Of Cancer, But Many Are Not Taking Action
New survey findings
from the American Cancer
Society show that while
the majority of Americans
understand that eating right
and being physically active
can help reduce their risk of
getting cancer; many are not
incorporating this knowl-
edge into their daily lives.
According to the survey, 83
percent of Americans be-
lieve they can reduce their
risk of cancer with a healthy
diet. Yet, approximately one-
third of the 565,000 cancer
deaths expected to occur in
2008 are attributed to poor
nutrition, physical inactiv-
ity and being overweight or
obese.
Some of the key bar-
riers to eating more fruits
and vegetables found in
the survey include spoil-
age, cost and the simple fact
that Americans prefer to eat
other meals or snacks, such
as cookies, chips, pasta,
meat or potatoes. Barriers
to exercising include the
notion that health clubs are
too expensive, and a lack of
time. However, if given an
extra hour per day, only 10
percent said they would use
that time to exercise.
To help Americans ap-
ply what they already know
about reducing cancer risk
to their daily lives, the
American Cancer Society
Great American Eat Right
Challenge offers tools to
help people adopt healthy
behaviors that are enjoy-
able and easy. The Great
American Eat Right Chal-
lenge website (www.cancer.
org/GreatAmericans) con-
tains helpful tips including
two video pod casts featur-
ing Food Network Chef
and author EUie Krieger
and Colleen Doyle, M.S.,
R.D., director of nutrition
and physical activity for the
American Cancer Society.
Krieger and Doyle prepare
quick, healthy meals in the
kitchen while providing
timesaving tips and tech-
niques.
"There are many ways
to incorporate healthy eat-
ing behaviors into everyday
life that are affordable, easy,
enjoyable and most impor-
tantly, help to reduce cancer
risk," said Doyle. "Through
the Great American Eat
Right Challenge, the Soci-
ety wants to help Americans
to translate their knowledge
into action by offering a
wide variety of tools and re-
sources that will help Amer-
icans find easy solutions to
live healthier lives."
In addition to the video
pod casts with Krieger, the
society has also had added
new features to the Great
American Eat Right chal-
lenge website-www.cancer.
org/Great American s-to help
Americans eat healthy, in-
corporate time-saving tips
into meal preparation and
provide fun and healthy
meals for their families:
'Healthy in a Hurry' Par-
ent's Guide: With school
back in session soon, par-
ents once again will be
faced with less time to pre-
pare healthy meals for the
family. This online tool
provides 30-minute recipes
for parents who don't have
much time to cook but want
to make healthy, delicious
meals or snacks.
Portion Control Guide:
Knowing how much to eat
is just as important as know-
ing what to eat. This wallet-
sized portion guide can be
easily downloaded and car-
ried anywhere to help recog-
nize standard serving sizes.
Eat Right Food Diary:
Knowing what you eat each
day can help identify pat-
terns of unhealthy behav-
iors. This printable diary
is an easy-to-use tool for
people to capture what they
eat every day and flag what
fuels situations or periods of
time when unhealthy eating
occurs.
The website also includes
a grocery shopping list to
help stock a healthy kitchen
with nutrient-packed fruits,
vegetables and whole grains,
as well as recipes and tips
for grilling delicious end-
of-surmner meals.
According to the Ameri-
can Cancer Society's
Guidelines on nutrition and
physical activity for Cancer
Prevention, a healthy diet
with an emphasis on plant
sources is essential to reduc-
ing cancer risk. The guide-
lines recommend:
Eating five or more serv-
ings of a variety of veg-
etables and fruits each day,
choosing whole grains in
preference to processed (re-
fined) grains and limiting
consumption of processed
and red meats.
Avoiding The ^Rakes and Pains' Of Autumn Yard Work
(ARA) - As the leaves
turn different colors and the
weather becomes cooler,
many Americans begin to
engage in outdoor cleanup.
Consider the number of
Americans injured in yard
work accidents every au-
tunm and you may begin to
suspect that "fall" is actually
short for "pitfall." Fall, it
seems, is becoming the sea-
son for back injuries, tum-
bles from ladders and lawn
mower accidents.
The AAOS offers a few
simple tips to avoid com-
mon autumn injuries while
in the yard:
Rakes and Pains
Brightly colored fallen
leaves are one of the charms
of autumn, but raking them
also sends thousands of peo-
ple to emergency rooms each
year. Raking is vigorous ex-
ercise, and you should pay
close attention to your arms
and back to avoid injury.
To prevent ii^urv from
raking, he sure to:
* Warm up for at least 10
minutes with some stretch-
ing and light exercise.
* Use a rake that is com-
fortable for your height and
strength. Wear gloves or use
rakes with padded handles
to prevent blisters.
* Keep your vision free
of impediment, like hats or
scarves and beware of large
rocks, low branches, tree
stumps or uneven surfaces.
* Vary your movement,
altemating your leg and arm
positions often. When pick-
ing up leaves, bend at the
knees, not the waist.
* Wet leaves can be slip-
pery; wear shoes or boots
with slip-resistant soles.
* Do not overfill leaf
bags, especially if the leaves
are wet. To avoid back in-
jury, you should be able to
carry bags comfortably.
* Never throw leaves
over your shoulder or to the
side. The twisting motion
required to do so places un-
due stress on your back.
Clean up that Lawn
It will soon be time to
store the mower until spring,
but chances are you will
mow the grass a few more
times before the snow falls.
Or, you may use it to collect
leaves or and lawn clippings .
You may love your lawn-
mower, but keep in mind it
is a powerful tool - one that
can cause significant injury.
In 2007, more than 225,000
people were injured by pow-
er, manual and riding lawn
mowers, according to the
Consumer Product Safety
Commission.
To avoid lawnmower-re-
lated injuries be sure to:
* Make sure the engine is
off and cool before you be-
gin any maintenance work
or refuel your lawnmower.
* Never use your hands
or feet to clear debris from
under a lawnmower. Use a
stick or broom handle in-
stead. Likewise, never touch
the blades with your hands
or feet, even if the engine is
off. The blade can still move
and cause serious injury.
* Never remove safety
devices, shields or guards
on switches.
* Do not leave a lawn-
mower miming unattended.
* Wear protective gear
like goggles and gloves,
boots and long pants when
mowing. Never mow bare-
foot or in sandals.
* Do not consume alco-
holic beverages and mow.
Ladder Safety
Autumn is a great time to
clear out gutters, check roof
integrity and wash windows.
More than 532,000 people
were injured in falls from
ladders in 2007, according
to the Consumer Product
Safety Commission.
To stay safg on a ladder:
* Inspect the ladder for
loose screws, hinges or
rungs. Clean off accumulat-
ed mud, dirt or liquids.
* Make sure all four legs
rest on a firm, level surface.
Avoid uneven ground or
soft, muddy spots.
* Before you climb, be
sure all ladder locks and
safety braces are engaged.
* Never sit or stand on
the top of the ladder or on its
pail shelf. These areas were
not designed to carry your
weight.
* Choose the right lad-
der for the job. A step stool
or utility ladder is good for
working at low or medium
heights, for jobs such as
washing windows. Exten-
sion ladders are appropriate
for outdoors to reach high
places, for when you need
to clean gutters or inspect
the roof.
* Be aware of your bal-
ance. Be careful when mov-
ing items off a shelf while
you're standing on a ladder.
If you have to stretch or lean
to reach your work area,
it would be safer to climb
down and reposition the lad-
der closer to your work.

Norwalk Defeats Tallahassee y Floriday 6-3;
Series Draws 50,000 Spectactors To Adams Field
By SEAN BRENNAN
A new 14- Year-Old Babe
Ruth World Champion was
crowned at Quincy 's Adams
Field last Saturday, official-
ly concluding the 2008 Babe
Ruth World Series.
The New England Re-
gional Champions from
Norwalk, Connecticut de-
feated the Southeast Re-
gional Champions from Tal-
lahassee, Florida, 6-3, in the
championship game to lay
claim to the title.
Norwalk and Tallahassee
had advanced to the final
game after beating the Ohio
Valley Champions from
Youngstown, Ohio and the
Southwest Regional Cham-
pions from Nederland, Tex-
as, respectively.
Norwalk beat
Youngstown in the semifi-
nals, 7-6, in a thriller that
was not decided until the
final at-bat and Tallahassee
knocked off Nederland in
the other semifinal, 4-2.
The Middle Atlantic
Regional Champions from
Syracuse, New York and the
Pacific Southwest Regional
Champions from Palo Alto,
California advanced to the
single elimination bracket
but both were beaten in
the quarterfinals. Syracuse
lost to Nederland 13-0 and
Palo Alto lost a slugfest to
Youngstown 17-10.
In the championship
game, Norwalk, playing as
the home team, scored two
quick runs in the bottom of
the first inning to take an
early 2-0 lead.
Behind the starting pitch-
ing of Johnny Lauttenbach,
Norwalk held Tallahassee
scoreless until the top of the
third inning when Florida
reclaimed the lead with a
three-run outburst. The boys
from Tallahassee were look-

ning, Norwalk retook the
advantage with a three-run
bottom of the fourth, a lead
that they would not relin-
quish the reminder of the
game.
In the fourth, Norwalk
scored two quick runs off
Florida's Nick Shafer to
take a 4-3 lead. With a run-
ner on second and two outs,
the World Series' Most
Outstandmg Player (MOP),
Kevin Daniele, smacked
a RBI single to left-center
Alex
Petridis, who came on in
relief of Lauttenbach in the
third, didn't allow a hit or
run in 4 1/3 innings of work
and earned the win on the
mound for Norwalk.
Connecticut finished
the World Series with a
5-1 record and Tallahassee
finished with a 4-2 record,
which included a World Se-
ries opening 2-1 upset loss
to Quincy.

The third 14- Year-Old
Babe Ruth World Series
to have taken place in the
City of Presidents in the last
five years is officially over,
but that doesn't mean Babe
Ruth, Inc., is finished with
Quincy.
According to Dick Lom-
bardi, president of Quincy
Babe Ruth, Quincy and Ad-
ams Field has been awarded
the 2010 15- Year-Old New
England Regional tourna-
ment from Norm Messier,
Babe Ruth New England
Commissioner and Interna-
tional Board Member.
"This is a way for us to
stay active in the national
and regional Babe Ruth
tournaments," said Lom-
bardi Monday at The Quincy
Sun. "This regional format
is a little less stressful than
the World Series, but it still
will be a weeklong event
with eight teams represent-
ing New England."
The 15- Year-Old New
England Regional will
have sole representatives
from Vermont, Maine,
Connecticut, New Hamp-
shire and Rhode Island and
three representatives from
Massachusetts: an Eastern
Massachusetts and Western
Massachusetts representa-
tive and a Quincy represen-
tative.
"The current 1 3-Year-
Old Quincy Babe Ruth team
is very good and this is a
way for them to showcase
their skills on a big Babe
Ruth stage in Quincy," said
Lombardi . "It will be a dou-
ble-elimination event with
the winner advancing to the
World Series.
"New England produces
some great baseball-Con-
necticut just won the 14-
Year-Old World Series-and
this is a way for us to keep
Quincy on the national Babe
Ruth scene in the coming
years."
As for a return of the
14- Year-Old World Series
to Adams Field, Lombardi
noted that it could be awhile
before the tournament comes
back to Quincy.
"It is a great event, but it
takes a lot of work. We en-
joyed putting it on, but we
need to take a little break
before we think about doing
it again."

THE FINAL OUT: Norwalk's James Cooksey waits for the
umpire's call as Tallahassee's Payson Smith lunges for the bag.
Smith was called out on a close play at first, giving Norwalk its
first 14- Year-Old Babe Ruth WS title.

inning, Norwalk slowed
down Youngstown in the
top of the eighth, setting up
the dramatic bottom of the
eighth.
Danny Diaz led off with
a single to left and a Bryan
Daniello attempt at a sac-
rifice bunt was fumbled in
the infield, putting runners
on first and second with no
one out.
The next Norwalk batter,
Alex Petridis, would be the
last. Petridis dropped down
a bunt with the intention of
moving both runners into
scoring position, but the
when the bunt was fielded,
the throw to first sailed into
right field and Diaz slid
home with the winning run.
In the other semifinal,
Tallahassee broke a 1-1 tie
with a three-run bottom of
the fifth to defeat Nederland,
Texas 4-2.
Nederland was the first
team to score with a single
run in the third. After there
were two outs, Stephen
Schlett walked, advanced to
second on a wild pitch and
scored on a Trent Fontenot
single.
Tallahassee responded
with a run in the bottom of
the frame. A lead-off double
by Payson Smith was fol-
lowed by two quick outs,
but Garrett Johnson singled
to right center scoring Smith
and after three innings the
score was tied 1-1.
Florida got the winning
rally going with two outs in
the fifth. A single, an error
and a walk loaded the bases
and a throwing error scored
two runs. The final run was
scored on a RBI single.

*A Complete Success, ' Says Host Team President And Manager Dick Lombardi
Babe Ruth World Series A Winner For Players, City
By SEAN BRENNAN
The last pitch has been
thrown. The last out has
been made. And the 2008
Babe Ruth World Series can
now be called a success for
both the host team and the
city of Quincy.
When Norwalk, Con-
necticut defeated Tallahas-
see, Florida, 6-3, to win
the World Series title last
Saturday afternoon at Ad-
ams Field, Quincy 's third
time in the last five years
hosting this weeklong event
ended and finally gave those
who spent months of their
own time preparing for this
World Series a chance to
take a deep breath and re-
flect.
"This World Series was
a complete success," said
Quincy Babe Ruth host
team president and manager
Dick Lombardi. "It was a
great event and we had no
real problems.
"I don't think we could
have asked for better weath-
er. Last week was some of the
best weather we have had all
sunmier long, so I think the
baseball gods were looking
down on us. I couldn't have
asked for a better group of
players and managers from
across the country coming

"Every last one of them
enjoyed their time playing
in the World Series and all
of them appreciated the ef-
fort put in by all the volun-
teers, host families and the
residents of Quincy. It was
an enjoyable experience for
everyone involved."
For Lombardi and his
team, the World Series
ended on a low note (a 13-0
elimination loss to Palo Alto,
Calf.), but the memories of
the team's opening game
win over Tallahassee still
resonates as one experience
no one will ever forget.
"My team put so much

"Obviously the 2-1 win
over Tallahassee a week ago
Saturday was the best mo-
ment. That was an emotion-

have had a draining effect

the opportunity to advance
to the single-elimination
round with a win over Palo
Alto showed just how good
this team was when many
outsiders thought that they
stood no chance of even
winning a single game.
"We surprised some peo-
ple with the win over Flor-
ida," said Lombardi. "They
came in as the defending 13-
Year-Old Babe Ruth cham-
pions and were a favorite to
win it all. The best players
from Quincy beat them and
that is something we can
hang our hats on.
"From a personal stand-
point, I was hoping that
Tallahassee would win the
whole tournament because
beating the champs on our
home field would have been
something, but that win will
still be remembered for a
long time."
Against Palo Alto, and
playing as the home team,
Quincy had its star pitcher
Lukas McDonough on the
bump. McDonough, who
threw a complete game
four-hitter against Florida,
struggled early, giving up
four runs in the top of the
first that started with a pair
of infield singles and ignited
the five-hit, four-run frame.
Palo Alto continued its
offensive barrage with three
more runs in the second,
single runs in the third and
fourth and four runs in the
fifth.
Quincy, which struggled
to produce any offense all
World Series long, had a
great chance to score in their
opening at-bat but couldn't
figure out Palo Alto's start-
ing pitcher Travis McHugh

CANCER (June 21 to July
22) A trusted colleague sheds
light on a recent spate of puz-
zling workplace situations.
This should give you the
information you need to
bring to your superiors
attention.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
A shift in workplace manage-
ment could be helpful for tal-
ented Leos and Leonas who
have been waiting to have
their accomplishments
rewarded by receptive lead-
ership.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) A misunderstand-
ing between you and some-
one you care for should be
corrected immediately. This
relationship is too important
to lose over a bruised ego.
LIBRA (September 23 lo
October 22) A welcome
piece of good news helps
clear the air in a family situa-
tion. A job-related incident
also eases as more informa-
tion provides a clearer focus
on the problem.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Quick action
to heal bruised feelings pays
off in a big way. Now you'll
be able to move forward with
your plans without that prob-
lem holding you back.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 2 1 ) Your
creativity combined with a
positive attitude should give
you a considerable edge in
finding a way to get around
the negativity you've run
into.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) That sud-
den streak ol stubbornness
could cause some problems.
Try to he more open to help-
ful suggestions and more
flexible in making needed
changes.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Now that that
special relationship appears
to be well and truly restored,
you can spend more time
dealing with those long-
needed workplace changes.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) A new opportuni-
ty sounds promising. But
watch out for any conditions
that might be attached.
Before making a decision,
ask that each one be
explained in detail.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
can be distracted by promises
of good limes, yet you ulti-
mately reach the goals you
set for yourself.

Agnes T. Nee

DON McCarthy
Managing Director
4 Tkoi^eHT
Today, in the minds of many
people, Labor Day will signal the
end of sununer, the last long holi-
day of the season ... a time for a
final outing for swimming,
picnicing, boating or just loafing.
The real meaning of Labor Day has
been lost for many in the frantic
pursuit of fun.
This is unfortunate, because never before have so
many people been able to ei^joy the leisure, the luxuries
and comforts we see around us in our United States. The
rights of labor never have been so certain, nor its obliga-
tion to act in a responsible manner more necessary. We
must never, therefore, become insensible to the time-
honored virtues of thrift, competence and pride in a job
well done.
There are the characteristics that have made possible
the turning of Labor Day into a holiday of fun and
leisure. These are the virtues that Labor Day ought to
commemorate and, if the nation is to survive in its
greatness, they will be needed as never before in the
years to come . . .

"Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt.
Carmel, Fruitful vine, splendor of
heaven. Blessed Mother of the
Son of God, Immaculate Virgin,
assist me in my necessity. Oh,
Star of the Sea, help me and show
me, herein you are my Mother.
Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Queen of Heaven and Earth! I
humbly beseech you from the
bottom of my heart to succor me
in this necessity. There are none
that can withstand your power.
Oh, Mary, conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse
to thee (three times). Holy Mary,
I place this cause in your hands

consecutive days, and then you
must publish and it will be granted

Edwards thanked Koch
for authorizing the repair of
the cairn and, also, thanked
Raymondi for his diligence
in seeking repairs and
Fitzgerald for organizing
the ceremony.
Koch explained that the
reconstruction was neces-
sary, "We couldn't just patch
it. It had to come down. "
Koch introduced Ray-
mondi and City Historian
Tom Galvin.
The audience arrived
early and filled the 110-car
parking lot by 5:30 p.m.
Among the media were tele-
vision reporters from Chan-
nels 4,5,6 and 7 and 25.
Jim Fatseas , Koch 's Chief
of Staff, reported that repre-
sentative of 'Good Morn-
ing America' called City
Hall several times regarding
Quincy's history myster.
Despite the lack of gold
and lack of locks from Abi-
gail Adams, spectators of
all ages loved the show and
didn't mind the crush of
people who stood shoulder
to shoulder through-out the
hall and into the hallways.

Teenager Patrick Meade,
his 16-year-old sister and
Joe Cellini, 15, all thought
the occasion was "cool."
"Definitely worth it,"

Arthur Ducharme, Direc-

that no women had a place

out the irony that the Quincy

were not represented.

THIS 130 POUND , 58-INCH TUNA won first prize in the 4th annual Causeway Chal-

mittee. From left are Tom Caron, Brendan Walsh, Mike Bordua, the winner Walsh, Paul

Fundraiser For '4th ' Parade
130-Pound Tlina
Tops Squantum Derby
Squantum's Brian
and Brendan Walsh
will have a big fish sto-
ry to tell their grand-
children and it will all
be true.
The Walshes and
their crew caught a 58-
inch, 130 pound tuna
last week to win first
place in Squantum's
fishing tournament, the
4th Annual Causeway
Challenge.
The Walshes trav-
eled 50 miles from
Orchard Beach in the
boat, ""Beyond The
Bridge," to Stell wag-
on Banks to snag the
record catch, but win-
ning the first prize was
worth the journey.
"We caught it out
where all the tunas
are," said Brendan Walsh,
praising the team which
Tom Caron, Mike and Paul
Bordua
Mike Boucher of
Squantum copped second
prize with a 39-inch striper
and Frank Mastrorilli, 3rd
prize, caught a 37-inch
striper.
The fishing tourna-
ment ran from noon to
noon and Brendan Walsh
said the time element with
low tides increased the
challenge. Last year, they
caught nothing.
The Causeway Chal-
lenge is an annual fund-
raiser for Squantum's
Fourth of July parade Next
year's parade will Squan-
tum's 100th parade.
According to Ann Marie
Glynn, there were 77 con-
testants fishing from 24
boats this year for the 24
hour event from noon to
noon. The 2008 Chal-
lenger raised $3500 for
the centenary parade.
Several of the win-
ners, including Walsh,
donated their prize
money to the parade
fund. The first prize was
$300.
The Egg And I, 853
Hancock St. donated
the refreshments for the
cookout which followed
for contestants, family
and friends. .
Glynn and Tracey
Brooks are co-chairman
of the annual Causeway
Challenge. Sheriff Mi-
chael Bellotti is chair-
man of the 100th parade
committee.
First In West Quincy, Quincy Point
City Readies
Major Flood
Relief Projects
Mayor Thomas Koch
Tuesday announced a
$ 1 ,100,000 investment to re-
solve chronic flooding prob-
lems on Woodbine Street
and Wesson Avenue in West
Quincy and Sixth Avenue in
Quincy Point as the first two
projects in a broader flood-
relief plan targeting neigh-
borhoods across the city.
The $350,000 Wesson
Avenue project will be paid
for primarily by a grant
from the Federal Emergency
Management Agency and
the $750,000 Sixth Avenue
project will be funded en-
tirely under a new program
initiated by Koch that will
allow money from the city's
Sewer Rehabilitation Fund
to pay for flood-relief proj-
ects.
"These two areas have
become unfortunate symbols
for critically needed flood-
relief projects in Quincy.
and I am proud that we are
starting to tackle these is-
sues head-on," Koch said.
"This is just the beginning.
We are committed to iden-
tifying chronic problems
across the city and complet-
ing these projects one by
one. Flooding is too serious
of a problem for the city to
cast aside any longer."
Developers and builders
with projects in Quincy pay
a fee into the Sewer Rehab
Fund, which means no tax-
payer dollars will be used
for the project. An $80,000
portion of the West Qumcy
project, supported by Ward
4 Councillor Ja> Davis, will
come from the Sewer Rehab
Fund.
Ward 2 Councillor Dan-
iel Raymond! has pushed for
flood-relief in the Sixth Av-
enue neighborhood, where
backyards and basements
frequently overflow with
water during rainstorms, for
more than two decades. The
project calls for replacing a

New City Department
To Oversee Finances
Mayor Thomas P. Koch
has proposed creation of a
Municipal Finance Depart-
ment to provide better over-
sight and management of
city finances as part of his
ongoing restmcturing of the
government.
Koch presented his pro-
posal to the City Council
Tuesday night.
It would make the new
department the nerve center
of the city's financial op-
erations under the director
of Municipal Finance who
would be responsible for
management and internal
controls.
Many of those functions
are currentiy conducted by
several different city depart-
ments.
A centralized finance de-
partment was recommended
by Pow-ers & Sullivan, the
independent auditing firm
that is scouring the city's
records and reviewing past
operations.
The review has already
highlighted a series of prob-
lems and vulnerabilities and
called a centralized finance
department "on the right
track" toward fiscal stabil-
ity.
"There is no question we
need a much greater level
of ac-countability and effi-
ciency within our financial
operations and this proposal
is a major step in that direc-
tion," said Koch.
"We are committed to
fixing past problems and
creating a new foundation to
get us on solid ground and
keep us there."
The new department will
be responsible for account-
ing, pay-ing bills, reviewing
contract and budget manage-
ment among other duties.
Koch said his plan can
be accomplished with only
limited ad-ditional taxpayer
money and will include only
one new position.
The new Municipal Fi-
nance Department would
assume many of the duties
curtently performed by the
city auditor, a City Council
appointee who has tradition-

DCR Mounted Patrol
Debuts At WoUaston Beach
Big Mike made a big
splash wiien he debuted on
Quincy Shore Drive last
week and he never even
hit the waters of WoUaston
Beach.
Mike's only three-years
old but the horse surprised,
delighted and bewitched a
dozen youngsters out for a
picnic at Caddy Memorial
Park, charmed an older gen-
tleman. Jack Glidden, who
was walking the marsh bor-
der, and baffled drivers on
the boulevard into slowing
down for a double take.
The chocolate brown
Mike is the first horse to pa-
trol any part of Quincy in a
long time. He weighs 1500
pounds and stands 16 hands,
three inches.
That's five feet seven
inches tall in human's
height.
Mike took his job seri-
ously. Before his first patrol,
the gelding stood patiently
as his handler, Lt. Susan
Survillo, introduced him
to the youngsters and their
mothers.
Survillo, a mounted
ranger with the Department
of Conservation and Rec-
reation (DCR), began her
career in Brookline. From
1978 to 1997, Survillo
served with the mounted
patrols of the Boston Park
Rangers where she was pro-
moted to supervisor.
She was also supervisor
of the mounted patrol for the
Metropolitan District Com-
mission (MDC) and DCR
from 1997 to 2005. When
the DCR mounted unit was
disbanded in 2005, Lt. Sur-
villo was assigned to the
DCR ranger unit.
This April, the DCR
mounted patrol unit was re-
vied.
"It's good for the kids,
teaching them all about the
horse," said Glidden who
observed the fascinated
youngsters.
Mike brought back mem-
ories for Glidden who wore
insignias from World War
II. He recalled the 1940's
when a horse and wagon
packed with tomatoes and
vegetables for sale traveled
his neighborhood.
"They gathered around,
watched me brush him."
Survillo said. "They petted
him."
"I haven't seen a horse
here for a long time," said
DARE Officer Dan Sautter
who stopped at the park to
meet Survillo and Mike.
"We used to have two
horses," Sautter said, de-
scribing the Quincy depart-
ment's unit which offered
police visibility as they pa-
trolled Quincy Center. The
unit has since been replaced
by bicycle and motorcycle
officers.
At Sautter's request, Sur-
villo said she would plan
a future presentation for
Quincy schoolchildren.
Then, with Survillo
astride, Mike crossed Quin-
cy Shore Drive and cantered
MOUNTED PATROL AT WOLLASTON. DCR Lt. Susan SurviUo and Mike, a 1500 chocolate
brown gelding, debuted as mounted horse patrols returned to Quincy last week. Mike is three
years old and stands over five feet in height. The patrol will visit Quincy two or three times a
month.

Chen Family To Appeal
Zoning Board's Decision
On WoUaston Restaurant
By LAURA GRIFFIN
The Chen family will
bring their case for a Chi-
nese restaurant in WoUaston
to Superior Court, according
to Judy Chen whose plans
for the eatery were rejected
last week by the Zoning
Board of Appeals.
"We are going to appeal ,"
Chen said Tuesday after de-
scribing her family as dis-
appointed with the board's
rejection of their plans after
the family spent more than
a year designing the restau-
rant project.
Chen said she believes
the proposed restaurant de-
signed by a noted Boston
architect would enhance the
business center and promote
WoUaston.
She, also, addressed traf-
fic and parking concerns
raised by opponents at the
Aug. 26 Appeals Board
hearing. She suggested the
city needs to correct traffic
and speeding problems on
Hancock Street so that they
don't hinder business opera-
tions.
She said the layout for
the restaurant allows at least
32 parking spaces which is
sufficient for the plan.
According to Jay Duca,
Building Inspector and head
of Inspectional Services, the
Chens have 20 days to chal-
lenge the decision once the
Zoning Board's decision is
finalized and recorded on
Sept. 10. That would allow
the Chens until Sept. 30 to
file an appeal in Norfolk
County Superior Court in
Dedham.
The Appeals Board unan-
imously opposed the Chens'
request for permission for a
change of use for 68 1 Han-
cock St., currently zoned
for business, at their August
26 meeting. The restaurant
area is part of the 15,000
square foot brick building at
Mariano Seen Filling
Vacant School Seat
663-683 Hancock St. which
was built in 1920.
Officials records list the
owner as the Exchange Au-
thority with trustees, Judy
Chen and her mother, Fai
Yin.
The building, also, hous-
es the American Chinese
Federation, formerly, the
Chinese United Associa-
tion, which ignited contro-
versy through-out the city in
2006 when they raised the
flag of the People's Repub-
lic of China atop the build-
ing alongside the American
flag.
The flag representing the
Communist Chinese coun-
try is still flown on specific
occasions and still offends
some city councillors, veter-
ans, longtime residents and
immigrants who fled to this
country from the oppressive
Chinese communist regime.
In October, the flagpole
with the offending flag was
cut down by vandals in what
police called a hate crime.
Then, in February, police
raided the building, charg-

If things went according
to plan Tuesday night and
the mayor, nine City Coun-
cillors and the five remain-
ing School Committee mem-
bers met in joint convention,
then the School Committee
is whole once again today.
And if the vote of the
convention followed the
odds then State Rep. Ron
Mariano is back on the
School Committee, his seat
for 16 years before he re-
tired in 2005 as his work
schedule in the State House
expanded.
He was the favorite to de-
feated Karl Roos, a pharma-
ceutical salesman with three
kids in the Quincy School
system, who had also sought
without success to succeed
Jim Timmins on the School
Board at a convention last
winter.
Another candidate was
Eileen Mullen, who lost a
bid for the post in the 2007
election.
Tuesday's selection filled
the seat left vacant by the
resignation of Kevin Mul-
vey, who left to become hu-
man resources director of
the Quincy Public Schools.
FINISHING TOUCHES. Workers expect to have the Abigail Adams cairn put back together
again by mid-week. Shown dismantling the site equipment and smoothing the last of the mortar
topping are, from left, labor foreman David Dias. Duane Hayden, superv isor, and Albert Sousa
at the top of the 14-foot structure. The contractors have left space for a new time capsule on the
east side of the cairn. Mayor Thomas Koch, Quincy Historical Society President Jim Edwards
and Dr. Edward Fitzgerald are determining the contents.

McCauley Walks On . . . And On
McCAULEY
Would you like to take a walk?
Say, about 20,000 miles.
It might take awhile. But former Mayor Frank Mc-
Cauley is closing in on that mark.
He's been walking altemating week-
end and daily routines since 1965. Ear-
ly this year he reached 19,000 on his
way down the home stretch to 20,000.
Dee Dee McDermott and col-
leagues at the Thomas Crane Public
Library Research Department got out
their measuring tape to determine that
20,000 miles is the equivalent of walking from Quincy
to:
The North Pole or somewhere in the middle of the
Pacific Ocean or Monaco depending whether you head
South, East or West.
Or walking to California nearly seven times.
McCauley has temporarily suspended walking while
recuperating from recent minor surgery. He expects to
resume this month and go for the 20,000.
McCauley, who will turn 79 Dec. 27, doesn't intend
to stop at 20,000. His new goal: 25,000 miles.
"Walking 25,000 miles is the equivalent of walking
around the Earth at the Equator," he says.
"Reaching that goal, of course, depends on my
health and the plans of the Good Lord."
But right now he's in the mood to get going.
In 1965, McCauley, then a freshman city council-
lor and treasurer of the old Shipbuilder's Cooperative
Bank, discovered during a physical checkup his weight
had ballooned to 209 pounds.
That came somewhat of a surprise if not a shock.
He was a skinny kid growing up in Houghs Neck and
because he was underweight even needed a waiver
to join the Navy after graduating from high school in
1948.
On his doctor's advice he started to do some jogging
at the then Quincy YMCA. After gall bladder surgery
in 1973 he was advised to walk instead of jog.
He set up routes around the city including Sea Street
and Quincy Shore Drive and measured the distance
with his car odometer.
He has also participated in fundraising walk-a-
thons: 20-mile Walk For Hunger, Interfaith Social Ser-
vices Walk, Jimmy Fund Marathon Walk for the Dana-
Farber Institute over the same 26.2 mile route as the
Boston Marathon. He raised over $34,000 in sponsor
donations for the treatment of cancer in children.
In 1997 he started walking on a daily basis and
keeping mileage records. That first year he clocked
904 miles and his mileage has gone up each year since.
His top year was 2,650 in 2006. (Other sample year
totals: 1350, 1,423, 1,725 and 2345)
His favorite 100 miles were those he did during last
year's city election, walking door to door around the
city distributing campaign literature for his daughter,
LOGUE
Jennifer Logue, making her political debut as a city
councillor at-large candidate.
"Walking is good for you," Mc-
Cauley says.
He credits it to sparing him from
need of knee and hip replacement
that threaten senior citizens. His only
problem has been calluses from vig-
orous walking.
His weight, by the way, is now a trim 173 pounds-
some 36 pounds less than the 209 back in 1965.
Incidentally, he says he would be happy to do an-
other 100 miles for Jennifer in next year's city elec-
tion.

PAUL HAROLD WILL be remembered Saturday
at the 4 o'clock Mass at St. Ann's
Church, Wollaston.
The anniversary and memorial
Mass will commemorate his 60* birth-
day and the sixth anniversary of his
death in August 2002.
Harold, who served as state senator,
city councillor and Norfolk County
register of deeds, was one of Quincy 's all-time popular
political figures known for "putting people first."
His death was a great loss to the city.
G
BILL DRAICCHIO, retired Quincy police officer
and a member of the Board of Voter Registrars, is re-
cuperating at home after surgery.
Many former Pollard and St. Jo-
seph's school students will fondly
remember him as Officer Bill who
crossed them safely at the busy in-
tersection of Washington Street and
Southern Artery.
Thinking of you, Billy.

A COUPLE OF reactions to the recent colimm on
pet peeves.
Florence Cashman Biller, 1000 Southern Artery
writes: "Add mine. How about a large hand to swoop
down and slap the pedestrian who pushes the "Walk"
button but doesn't wait for the light to change.
"Now it is red and yellow and he-or she-is half a
block away while all the cars idle watching nobody
crossing."
And John Caporale, Jr. of Falls Blvd kind of had us
as his:
"Speaking of pet peeves, how about the weekly
newspaper that prints the same crossword puzzle in a
row. Only kidding, love your paper."
Sorry about that mix-up, John. That can be annoy-
ing. One consolation: it's easier to do the same puzzle
the second time. (Just kidding).
GOP City Committee To Meet Sept. 9
The Quincy Republican
City Committee will meet
Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. in
the second floor community
room at Roche Brothers su-
permarket, 101 Falls Blvd.
All city conmiittee mem-
bers, registered Republicans
and interested volunteers are
welcome to attend.
The meeting will focus
on volunteer activities sur-
rounding the Sept. 16 pri-
mary and Nov. 4 presiden-
tial election.
Since reorganizing in the
spring, the Quincy Repub-
lican City Committee has
organized local volunteers
to assist Repub-lican candi-
dates seeking state and na-
tional office.
In addition to organizing
weekly phone banks for Re-
publican presidential nomi-
nee John McCain, conmiit-
tee members have assisted
former FBI officer Jeff Be-
atty in his race against John
Kerry for U.S. Senate.
The conunittee has, also,
conducted a card and let-
ter drive for wounded U.S.
soldiers and launched a new
web site and blog to keep
area residents informed on
local, state and national po-
litical happenings.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1925 real photo postcard showing the section
of WoUaston Boulevard where Sachem Street connects
today. From the left at the Gambrel roofed house was
the Beach Lodge Tea Room on the corner of East Elm
Avenue where in 1928 Howard Johnson would open his
first roadside ice cream stand. The low buildings on the
right center were Linnell's Bathhouses where a locker
could be rented for the season for $6. This is now the site
of a small playground. And today Sachem Street comes
out where the man in black is walking. The building on
the left was the Clam Shell Cafe. In 1936 that building
was replaced by a modern Hollywood styled SIMCO
Ice Cream Roof Garden. After just one year SIMCO
sold the property to Howard Johnson who moved his ice
cream stand here on the corner of the newly connected
Sachem Street. It was open there for almost 50 years.
This is now the site of The Clam Box. The ladies in white
were walking down what was known as the Strandway,
still a public walkway to The Strand roadway below. To

Series possible.
People from across the
country have spent the last

pressed just how wonderful
their time here has been.
This is because of the hard
work and dedication of the

The COA is also seeking
seniors who live alone and
would like a friendly visit
themselves.

The Council is mandated
by law to do background
checks on all volunteers.

teers from the Quincy Envi-
ronmental Network (QEN).
However, it would not have
been completed without the
assistance of the Quincy
Park Department.
Under the direction of
Kristen Powers and Steve
Mancuso, several Park De-
partment employees spent
two days cutting back some
very tall grass in a field area
of the site. This tall grass
should have posted a risk of
tic bites to all those that at-
tended the tour.
Thanks to their help there
were no problems at all . We
thank the Park Department
for their assistance and for
their continued support of
Sally and her great work.
They have been supporting
her for the past eight years
for all 100 of her tours.

Quincy College
Trustee Openings
By FRANK MCCAULEY
Eighty-seven candidates have applied for the 1 1 posi-
tions on the new Quincy College Board of Trustees.
A five-man appointing council
was scheduled to select the 1 1 board
members. The board must be in place
by Sept. 1 .
Mayor James Sheets' home-rule
petition to establish a 13-member
board of trustees as the new governing authority of the col-
lege was approved by the City Council, State Legislature
and Governor William Weld earlier this year. < Editor's note:
The appointing council selected 1 1 of the 1 3-member board.
Two others, one a city councilor and the second, a school
committee member, would be chosen by these bodies.)
KINNEY TO RETURN AS PARKING MANAGER,
ANNUAL PROHT TO THE CITY OF $185,000 SEEN
Barring unforeseen complications, Kinney Systems, Inc.
of Boston will become the new manager of Quincy 's park-
ing system, a deal that could mean an estimated $185,000
annual profit for the city.
City Traffic Engineer Jack Gillon said that the city's
parking operations recommendation committee voted to
negotiate with Kinney, one of the three firms vying for the
parking contract. The committee included Gillon. Richard
Meade, David Colton and Bemice Mader.
Kinney held the five-year contract before Metropolitan
Parking Systems, Inc. of Quincy, one of the two other com-
panies that bid on the contract. The other was Fitz-Ann Auto
Parts, Inc. of Boston.

Daily Phone Check Possibly Saves 80-Year Old Woman
Bellotti Urges Seniors To Enroll
In 'Are You Okay' Program
Local Chefs Will Host
Tasting, Cooking Demonstrations
Friday At Farmers' Market
Norfolk County Sheriff
Michael Bellotti is urging
senior citizens who live
alone to enroll in his "Are
You OK?" daily phone
check program after it pos-
sibly saved the life of an 80-
year-old woman.
She was the 55th person
helped by the free program
since it was started in 2001 .
The woman recently fell
and injured her head and was
unable to summon help for
herself but a Bellotti staffer
did when she failed to re-
spond to the early morning
call to her home.
Each morning, 365 days
a year, members of the sher-
MICHAEL BELLOTTI
to about 300 elderly people
living in Norfolk County
who have signed up for the
service.
If the staffer detects that
person, help can be sent im-
mediately to his or her ad-
dress.
'Time and time again,
the 'Are You OK?' program
has pre-vented tragedies by
getting emergency help tom
people when they need it,"
said Bellotti .
"We have the capacity to
serve so many more people
with this service. No elderly
person should be in fear of
suffering a medical emer-
gency and not being able to
receive help."
People interested in sign-
ing up for the Are You OK?
Service should contact the
sheriff's office at 781-751-
3504.
Local chefs and mem-
bers of the newly estab-
lished Quincy's Restaurant
League will offer cooking
demonstrations and tast-
ings at noon Friday under
the "Taste Quincy" tent at
Quincy Farmers' Market.
The chefs use produce
from Freitis and Stillman
Farms, full-time farmers
who serve Quincy and area
residents.
The stalls at Farmers'
Market offer com, toma-
toes, eggplant, melons, and
a host of other garden pro-
duce that is freshly picked
and superbly flavored.
According to Anneli
Johnson, both the chefs and
the farmers are working
together in Quincy to cele-
brate the diversity and abun-
dance of locally grown food
and the city's restaurants
through the newly formed
Quincy Restaurant League.
The 'Taste Quincy" dem-
onstrations are being taped
for Quincy Access Televi-
sion which plans to offer a
series on the chefs and food
demonstrations later this
year.

ers had hoped, apparently
in vain, that the Association
would change.
In May, Gutro notified
his constituents and business
owners of the Chen's plan
and called a neighborhood
meeting. His first meet-
ing on the proposal brought
over 100 persons to WoUas-
ton Methodist Church where
he said, "It became clear that
most folks opposed it."
Speakers "sent a pretty
clear message that a bar

detrimental," said Gutro,
stressing that the opponents
covered a wide base rep-
resenting businesses and

At Two-Family House
Illegal Hotel Shut Down
In North Quincy
Zoning Board Will Hear
Billboard Challenge Sept. 9
City officials have shut
down an illegal hotel run
out of a North Quincy two-
family home operating so
brazenly, they said, that it
boasted its own website
advertising room rates and
other amenities.
Investigators found nine
bedrooms set up like hotel
rooms, with beds, refrig-
erators, televisions and hot
plates in the two-family
home at 139 Billings Rd. A
court-ordered search war-
rant following an initial in-
spection revealed a number
of safety violations, and of-
ficials ordered the alleged
hotel shut down immedi-
ately.
"This type of illegal and
dangerous operation will not
be tolerated, period," said
Mayor Thomas Koch. "We
have to work together to
protect our neighborhoods,
and this is exactly the kind
of activity that will be iden-
tified and eliminated."
After receiving informa-
tion from neighbors about
activity that resembled a
rooming house, Koch or-
dered an investigation from
a city task force. A team
including Building Inspec-
tor James Anderson, Health
Commissioner Andrew
Scheele, Deputy Fire Chief
Gary Smyth and Police Of-
ficer Greg Marr visited the
home and were allowed in-
side by owner Kazaki Mase
Wednesday morning.
Investigators noticed
credit card displays, a front
table with a computer, busi-
ness cards, and tourism
brochures. The business
cards advertised a Japanese-
language website, which
when later translated to
English advertised informa-
tion about room rates and
amenities such as mini -bar
service, microwaves, cable
television, rice cookers and

Internet access in all rooms.
Touring the house, inves-
tigators found four locked
bedrooms on the first floor
and five locked bedrooms
on the second floor, with a
kitchen and bathroom on
each floor. Mase opened all
the rooms for officials, and
they all resembled the hotel-
style rooms and guests who
were present acknowledged
they were renting rooms.
Smyth said that smoke
detectors found in the house
did not work, and that fire
safety overall in the house
was "inadequate." The team
asked Mase if they could
visit the basement, but he re-
fused. He did acknowledge
that he was renting rooms.
After the initial inspec-
tion, Anderson cited Mase
for several building code
violations, including ille-
gally changing the use of the
two-family house. Koch's
office directed city lawyers
to work directly with the
investigative team on more
immediate action, leading
to an administrative search
warrant issued by Quincy
District Court.
The warrant gave inves-
tigators access to the base-
ment of the house, which
was apparently used by
Mase and a relative as liv-
ing space, officials said. In-
vestigators found a propane
grill, a number of hot plates
and a makeshift kitchen and
bathroom with several code
violations.
The team told Mase of
all the code violations which
needed to be fixed, and soon
after confirmed the transla-
tion of the website, which
showed clear evidence that
the two-family home was
being run as a hotel. Offi-
cials ordered the operation
closed, and purported hotel
guests were asked to leave.
All people staying at the
house were able to find other
accommodations and Mase
and his family member were
allowed to stay in the house.
Quincy Police are expected
to file a criminal complaint
against Mase, the Mayor's
Office said.
The Zoning Board of
Appeals will hold two pub-
lic hearings Tuesday, Sept.
9, on the 82-foot billboard
erected in West Quincy.
Both hearings will be held
simultaneously at 7:15 p.m.
as they both apply to the le-
gality of the billboard.
The two challengers
have opposing views of the
billboard. Boston Outdoor
Ventures, the company re-
sponsible for the billboard
overlooking Willard Street,
is appealing a June order by
Building Inspector Jay Duca
to dismantle the billboard.
The Board will. also, hear
an appeal filed on behalf of
Maloney Capital C o , LLC
which challenges the city's
original decision allowing
the billboard, charging sev-
eral errors in the decision..
The Maloney s appeal
charges the misapplication
of city ordinances allowed
the billboard to be con-
structed on Biondis Auto
Center property.
Copeland Family Gives
$1M To Milton Hospital
Milton Hospital has an-
nounced the receipt of a $ 1
million donation from the
Copeland Family Founda-
tion, completing the public
phase of its Generations
capital campaign with $3.6
million raised.
The funds raised will go
to a new emergency depart-
ment, two new and four ren-
ovated operating rooms, a
new Pre-Admission Testing
and Blood Drawing Center
and a modem lobby.
"We are extremely proud
and excited to announce that
the hospital raised $3.6 mil-
lion during the campaign,"
said Joseph V. Morrissey,
president of Milton Hospi-
tal.
"The contributions from
the community and staff at
Milton Hospital very much
sup-port all of the great
healthcare services the hos-
pital provides the commu-
nity."
The Copeland Founda-
tion was established in 1983
by Charles L. Copeland
and his sister, Ruth Capper,
owners of the Milton Spring
Beverage Company. The
Foundation gave $1 million
for an MRI Center in 2003.

Welch Healthcare & Retirement Group has been
providing rehabilitation, healthcare &
senior housing services for nearly 60 years.
I am taking this opportu-
nity to inform you of a pro-
gram I just taped with Mark
Crosby on QATV, where
through the generosity of the
National Fire Protection As-
sociation (NFPA) they have
allowed us to air their video,
FIREPOWER and add it to
our discussion on home fire
safety. I believe that this vi-
sual graphic, added to our
discussion will enhance the
effectiveness of our attempt
at conveying the importance
of a fire safe residence.
I first saw the vid-
eo back in the 1980s when
it was aired on Channel 5's
Chronicle. It is the best vi-
sual depiction of an interior
fire I have seen on tape. One
of my primary goals in shar-
ing it with you is to discredit
Hollywood's typical depic-
tion of a hero's ability to
run through a fully involved
fire scene, with near perfect
visibility, returning to safety
with only slight soot smudg-
es upon their faces.
An actual interior fire
atmosphere is anything
but that which is typically
shown in dramatic movies,
but the NFPA has done jus-
tice in depicting the reality
of a fire scene in their video,
FIREPOWER.
An Invitation
This portrayal brings the
reality of a residential fire to
light, while we, you and I,
have the choice to minimize
and eliminate hazards in our
homes through proactive fire
prevention. Acting on that
choice, will reduce the risk
of a fire for us. Meanwhile,
in the unlikely event a fire
does occur, we must have
in place, working smoke de-
tectors to afford us the early
notification we will need to
evacuate, while we can plan
and practice an evacuation
plan prior to ever needing it
as well.
That is the good news. Is a
house fire a possibility? Yes.
And are we are empowered
to do something about that?
Absolutely! Ben Franklin's
adage: "An ounce of pre-
vention..." is as applicable
today as it ever was then.
You and I can take moments
to make choices to modify
our behavior to eliminate
risk while maintaining the
tools to assure safe evacua-
tion in that unlikely event a
fire does occur.
So kindly consider join-
ing us in our effort at main-
taining a fire safe commu-
nity by taking some time to
watch this program. It will
be aired on our local cable
network, Channel 10. It is
titled: QFD: Fire Prevention
& You, Topic: Fire.
It is scheduled to air Sept.
5 at 7 p.m., Sept. 6 at 9 a.m.
and 5:30 p.m. and Sept. 7 at
9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Meanwhile I want to
once again thank the NFPA
for allowing us to share their
video with you while includ-
ing it our own discussion on
the subject.
As always, I want to
thank Henry Bosworth and
his staff at The Quincy Sun
for making this column pos-
sible, otherwise, what would
I ever do with my compel-
ling need to spread the fire
prevention message through
the written word?
Thanks to Mark Crosby
and the QATV staff for this
new opportunity, sharing
the fire prevention message
through their medium as
well.
And finally, thanks to
our own Captain Bryan for
his effort in obtaining this
copy of FIREPOWER and
the permission to use it on
QATV. We will continue to
use it to facilitate our efforts
in serving you through our
educational programs.
Be safe!

ally performed functions be-
yond those of an auditor.
Under Koch's proposal,
the auditor would maintain
his over-sight function un-
der the jurisdiction of the
council .
"I fully support and re-
spect the check of the Ex-
ecutive branch the auditor
provides and also respect
the City Council's authority
over that position," said the
mayor.
"This proposal does not
change the core functions of
the city auditor. In fact, I be-
lieve the fundamental over-
sight role will be en-hanced
because the city auditor will
become an auditor in the
truest sense of the word."
The move to a Municipal
Finance Department is one
of several Koch has made
to make City Hall more
"efficient, responsive and
ac -countable" since he took
office in January.
He made the Department
of Constituent Services a
part of the mayor's office
and shifted responsibility

jor projects from the DPW

"There is a tremendous
gravity to these problems
that I am pleased Mayor
Koch recognizes. These
folks have waited too long
and suffered too much,"
Raymondi said.
"We have many of these
critical projects throughout
Ward 2, and the city, and I
look forward to continuing
working together with this
administration," Raymondi
said.
City engineers and con-
sultants continue to review
areas in other parts of the
city, investigating current
conditions, reviewing op-
tions, and prioritizing the
most critical projects.
The Sixth Avenue project
was to be presented to the
City Council at its meeting
Tuesday. If approved, as ex-
pected, work will begin this
fall. The council has already
approved the city's portion

LEFT TO RIGHT: Officer James Dentremont, Matt Miller,
Declan Breslin and Tom Ford
A Job Well Done
On Sunday, August 24, 2008, at approximately 3 p.m..
Community Policing Bicycle Officers Declan Breslin, James
Dentremont and Tom Ford were on patrol in the Quincy Cen-
ter area during the Asian August Moon Festival. While in
the area of Granite and Hancock Streets, the Officers observed a
group of males standing on the plaza at the Stop & Shop Build-
ing. The officers knew two of the males from past encoun-
ters involving drugs. The Officers pedaled their bikes over to
the group and as they neared, the
males split up and walked in dif-
ferent directions.
Officer Breslin followed a
male known to him, who he be-
lieved to have warrants because
he had removed an electronic
bracelet from his ankle. The elec-
tronic bracelet is installed to limit
the movement of a defendant to
his home. He was carrying a
black bag over his shoulder. As
the male walked behind the Stop
& Shop building, he reached into
his left pocket as if to re-
move something. Officer Breslin
pulled in front of the male and
noticed that he was sweating profusely. When asked what he
was reaching for, the male said he needed his "Charlie" card to
get on the train. As the male pulled out his card, a hypodermic
needle fell to the ground. Officer Breslin asked the male why he
had the needle, and the male responded that it was not illegal to
have a needle. Officer Breslin asked the male if he had any drug
paraphernalia on his person and he responded that he did not,
then gave the Officer permission to search him. Officer Bres-
lin, concerned about other needles in the suspect's pockets,
asked the suspect to remove contents of his pockets. The sus-
pect removed several foreign looking bills, some loose change
and a bottie cap which contained a brown substance believed to
be heroin. Officer Breslin asked the suspect his name and he
said it was David. Officer Breslin knew this to be a false name.
The suspect then fled, running towards Hancock and Granite
Street.
The Officer radioed a description and direction of flight to
other Officers. Officers' Dentremont and Ford, who had just re-
leased the other males, sped over on their bikes and were able to
apprehended the suspect at the Ross Garage on Granite Street.
A warrant check on the suspect's actual name showed that he
had several default warrants. The suspect was placed under ar-
rest and an inventory search of the black bag revealed a wom-
en's pocketbook that contained various amounts of antique sil-
ver coins. There was also a laptop computer and a plastic bag,
which contained a green herb substance believed to be marijua-
na. There was also a wallet with business cards for a carpentry
company. Officer Breslin called the phone number on the card
and asked the man if he was missing a computer and coins. The
victim said that he was not at home but would go home and
check immediately. The victim called back and confirmed that
his house on Bigelow Street was broken into through a front
window. He further stated that in addition to his computer sev-
eral bags of antique coins were missing. The victim came to the
station and identified the property as his. The suspect, a 22 year
old Quincy resident was charged with "Possession of Class A
Drug, Possession of Class D Drug, Receiving Stolen Property",
along with the default warrants. Detective Rick Wash then
responded to Bigelow Street to meet the victim and gather any
evidence available. This evidence would be vital to prove that
the suspect actually broke into the house, rather than just charge
him with possession of stolen property. Detective Wash deter-
mined that the suspect used a screwdriver to prop open a front
window lock and after gaining entry, the suspect lowered all
the blinds to conceal his presence. Detective Wash dusted the
area for fingerprints and then went to the kitchen area where he
observed a black fire type safe sitting on the counter. The vic-
tim said that the safe had been moved and then forced opened,
but unfortunately the victim had handled the safe, eliminating
any good prints. The tool used to open the safe was placed
into evidence and will be printed. Other evidence obtained
was a screwdriver believed to have been used by the suspect to
force the window, as well as a blue jewelry box and a tin altoid
mint box reported to have been handled by the suspect and left
on the bed. Detective Wash learned that the victims knew the
suspect. They had invited the suspect into their home many
years ago. Detective Wash also detected that the suspect may
have
urinated on the curtains at the front door prior to him leav-
ing the home. The suspect refused to comment on this. The
property taken as evidence will be submitted for DNA and
print analysis and if there is a match, the suspect will be charged
with breaking and entering too. PAST BREAKS AND AT-

The Wonders Of WoUaston
Mudflats Intrigue Naturalist
&^8ti^Uiift
By LAURA GIRFFIN
Wollaston mudflats might
be just a mass of black mush
with an occasional pungent
odor to local residents.
To international naturalist
Brian Cassie, Wollaston
Beach offers a much different
story.
Wollaston at low tide
is a wonderland of nature,
according to Cassie who
brought 22 campers to the
mudflats last week to enjoy the
YUMMY ROSE fflPS are here for the picking at WoUaston Beach, according to Brian Cassie ^'^^ ^"^ ^^"^'^^ specimens
of Boxboro, an international naturalist. Cassie's father, the late Lawrence Cassie, was a lifelong classroom study.
resident of North Quincy where his grandfather, the late Alexander Cassie, emigrated in 1928. "^^^ mudflats are great,"
said Cassie who has written
14 nature books and is a
recognized authority on
tropical ecology, Arctic
animal life, seashells, birds,
butterflies and New England
natural history.
In the past, he has led the
"Binocular Tours" through
the rainforests in Costa Rica,
Belize, Mexico, Venezuela
and Jamaica. Last week, he
came to Quincy.
"We're here to see the
mudflats," Cassie said of the
youngsters who swarmed
onto the beach, squishing
through the mud on crocs
and barefeet.
The youngsters, from
a landlocked town north
/■
of Boston, are studying
marine life at summer camp
with Cassie as Program
Director. They fired dozens
of questions at Cassie about
the mudflats, the birds, the
marine life.
One asked why the water
was squirting him through
the holes in the mud; others
scooped up shells and snails
and asked for names.
As they walked, Cassie
pointed to the birds and gulls
above, "Hey, look, there's a
snowy egret."
He , al so , identi fied a ring-
billed gull and a ho ha ha
gull that issues a call like a
human laugh.
"They go ho, ha, ha," said
Cassie.
"There are a lot of
interesting specimens."
Cassie said as he pointed to
specimens of the soft-shelled
clam, the mussels, spider
crabs and mud snails. They
are all readily plentiful on
Wollaston Beach.
Before Cassie crossed the
seawall to board the yellow
schoolbus and leave, he
picked what looked like a
tiny cherry tomato from the
wild rose bushes at the edge
of the beach.
"They're yummy," Cassie
said, offering one of nature's
treats to the reporter. Cassie
said the fruit of the wild
rose is actually a "Rose hip"
and not only safe to eat but,
"delicious."
(According to Wikipedia,
rose hips can be used to make
herbal tea, jams, jellies,
herbal pies , bread , marmalade
and other items and are rich
in vitamin C.)
"My father was a North
Quincy guy," Cassie said of
the late l^wrence Cassie who
lived in Quincy all his life.
In addition, his grandfather
Alexander Cassie arrived in
Quincy from England in 1928
and worked at Fore River.
Much of Cassie's work is
aimed at opening the world of
nature to youngsters through
words and pictures. His first
book, "The Butterfly Alphabet
Book" was co-authored with
Jerry Pallotta.
Other books include
"Shells," and The National
Audubon Society's "Field
Guide to New England,"
In addition, he has served
as author-in-residence at
a new Hampshire school
and president of the Nuttall
Ornithological Club at
Harvard University and
the Massachusetts Butterfly
Club.
WOLLASTON MUDFLATS became a wonderland of nature for some 22 campers who are shown
testing the mud during their field trip. International naturalist Brian Cassie (center) led the tour.
His late parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Cassie, and his grandfather, Alexander, all lived in North
Quincy. (Quincy Sun Photos/Laura Griffin)

For Dee And Many Others
Interfaith Social Services: A True Friend To Those In Need
By MIRIAM JOSEPH
Ten years ago when Dee
was diagnosed with a heart
condition and then lost her
job, she had no where to
turn.
Then she read a news-
paper item about Quincy's
Interfaith Social Services,
and she saw a ray of hope
for herself.
Dee is not her real name
but her story is real. "The
woman with whom I first
met at ISS made me feel so
comfortable... it was like 90
pounds off my shoulders."
A lifelong Quincy resi-
dent now in her late for-
ties. Dee was working in
law-enforcement and was
a certified nursing assistant
when, because of a condi-
tion which obstructs blood
flow into the heart, she was
forced to apply for Social
Security disability.
Although she was a sin-
gle woman, her deceased
brother's eight-year-old son
had long been in her foster
care; his mother had signed
away her parental rights.
"For the first eight years
everything was great, I was
able to give the child every-
thing he needed. Then this
happened, and my world
just crashed."
A woman of intense
pride, it was difficult for her
to approach anyone for help.
But the lag time for state and
city services, such as hous-
ing and Social Security can
be upwards of a year, and
she needed assistance im-
mediately.
"The state doesn't just
give you help like this, you
have to fight for it, get a
lawyer... same thing with
housing, you're on a waiting
list... and SS always denies
your first application... you
have to get a Social Security
lawyer."
Enter Interfaith Social
Services, which has been a
full-service social agency
serving families in need in
10 South Shore communi-
ties since 1947.
When Dee first came to
ISS' Pantry Shelf, which to-
day provides food to more
than 4,700 households annu-
ally, she was shedding tears
of shame. Then Bettyanne
JANET DUGGAN of Weymouth and her granddaughter, Han-
nah, volunteer at Interfaith Social Services' Bureau Drawer,
a thrift shop offering clothing, accessories, books, toys, and
household items to the general public. The shop generates
funds to help run the agency's programs, but can also provide
items at no cost to individuals in need. The Bureau Drawer
is open to the public Wednesday through Saturday and dona-
tions are welcomed.
NORTH QUINCY HIGH SCHOOL student Lindsey MacPherson volunteers at Interfaith So-
cial Services' Pantry Shelf, which offers non-perishable food items for families in need. Meat
and produce are also offered when available. Distributing free food to low-income individu-
als since 1975, the pantry is open weekday mornings, providing necessities to more than 6,700
South Shore households annually.
Lang, an 18-year veteran of
the organization and now
Manager of Material Assis-
tance, rescued her.
"I actually cried the first
time I came to ISS' food
pantry," said Dee. "I was
embarrassed to be here...
then Bettyanne said, 'Don't
be ashamed to ask for help,
none of this is your fault...
let us help you.' I got food,
vouchers for milk, and
stuff."
ISS Executive Direc-
tor Laura Stracco discussed
the agency's three programs
which focus specifically on
the needs of low income in-
dividuals: The Pantry Shelf,
which provides food; The
Career Closet, which sup-
plies workplace attire to
women entering the work-
force; and HomeSafe, a fi-
nancial assistance program
which assists families with
costs of heat, utilities and
rent.
The agency is experienc-
ing the negative effects of
today's economy. There has
been an increase in requests
for financial assistance and
for groceries, with upwards
of 450 families per month
benefiting from the food
bank.
The economy has also
impacted the ISS' fundrais-
ing efforts, since many of
the organization's donors
and supporters are facing
similar downturns. The
Boston Food Bank and a
few local supermarkets, like
Stop & Shop and Hannaford
contribute regularly to The
Pantry Shelf.
Pantry Shelf manager
Bettyanne said, "We have
countless individuals who
come in and drop off grocer-
ies, people who don't even
want to be thanked, faith
communities, businesses,
schools, fraternal organiza-
tions, they all participate
and all pull together at holi-
day time."
Many of the people who
come to ISS just need some
guidance and advice. Lang
said, 'They don't know
what direction to go in, one
of the special things about
Interfaith, we work as a
team to help the client in the
best way we can, and when
we can't, the kindest thing
for us to do is to find another
source that's best for them."
After nearly two years,
when Dee finally secured

and volunteer Cindy Lee tend to record-keepmg at the Interfaith Social Services, 105 Adams St.
Providing emergency assistance to those in need since 1947, the agency, which serves residents
of all faiths on the South Shore, is supported by gifts of individuals, businesses, organizations
and faith communities. Quincy Sun photos/Miriam Joseph

Quincy Housing, it was an
emotional move. "I grew up
in the projects as a kid... I
fought my way out of there,
I was one of only five out of
78 such girls who graduated
from high school. I had been
on my own and self-suffi-
cient since I was 17, so to
go back to the projects was
very difficult."
Because of the
r
outstretched arms, which
greeted her at ISS when she
needed them, she herself
now volunteers as often as
possible, as does her 18-
year-old son, who she legal-
ly adopted in 1996. College-
bound, he graduated from
Quincy High this year with
honors and scholarships.
"I offered my time back
to ISS... at the Pantry, dur-
ing holidays, Christmas
drives, making up Thanks-
giving meals-people can get
a complete frozen turkey
dinner, boxed up, for those
with a home to cook in."
Dee says that "giving
back" has changed her life
around. In 2005 she gave up

local grocery stores donate daily bread and other products, much of the food must be obtained
from the Greater Boston Food Bank, or purchased directly by the agency from grocery stores.

ment to someone whom she
described as less fortunate
than herself.
She has rented a three-
bedroom home with a girl-
friend, and was, therefore,
recently able to provide a
foster home for two broth-
ers, aged 12 and 15, whom
the state did not wish to split
up.
"I didn't want the boys
to whom I am foster mother
now to grow up in the proj-
ects...! wouldn't be able to
do this in the projects-that is
against the rules, and there
just wasn't enough room-we
had a small two-bedroom
apartment for my son and
me.
Of the many people and
orgaMbtions who vdonate
to ISS, Dee comments, "It
goes to a worthy cause, no
child should be left without
a Christmas. . .there is a San-
ta Claus in my book. When
I am here at Christmastime,
no matter how bad things
are, you can just feel it, the
giving, and people are there
for you.
"There is help,
don't be ashamed to ask for
it, no little child should go
without a Christmas, even if
it is just a couple of toys...
your world could change be-
cause of your giving."
ISS also offers counseling
services by trained, licensed
therapists to individuals,
couples and families dealing
with life issues, with their
HomeSafe program works
closely with families at risk
of homelessness.
As with all non-profit
agencies, fundraising is key,
and one of ISS' resources
is their neat and well-orga-
nized thrift shop, "The Blue
Drawer." Run by volunteers,
it is open to the public and
gratefully accepts donations
of clothing and miscella-
neous household goods.
Dee has apparently been
teaching her son and foster
children the same values she
has learned over the years
about giving back to the
community.
"We help serve food
at Thanksgiving time...
my whole family has done
Cleaner, Greener Quincy for
five consecutive years. And
the two boys in my foster
care just received recogni-
tion for 22 hours of commu-
nity service for The Salva-
tion Army.
"My heart is full... the
more 1 give, unselfishly, the
better my life has been-just
by them (ISS) helping me,
turning me aroimd, tiiitead
of my saying 'Oh, poor
me '...there are avenues of
help out there."

Is Grime Victim
older,
,My house thermo-
istat — one of those
round kinds where
you twist the dial to the
teni{»erature you want —
doesn^t seem to work
right. It cools the house
down ko a freezing temper-
ature, then lets the temper-
atitre climb back up until
we're sweating. I can't fig-
ure it out — Harry S.,
GreenvUU, S.C.
A .Simple low- voltage
. thermosiafs, like the
one in your home, are pretty
dam reliable and can last for
many years. They do pick up
a few quirks, however, when
grime builds up on the bi-
metal coil that acts as the
temperature sensor. The coil
expands or contracts as ^e
temperature changes, so if
it's dirty, it may not expand
or contract properly.
You can easily check the
condition of the thermostat.
Turn off power to the ther-
mostat at the circuit panel
and remove the top cover of
the unit. Use a circuit tester
to make sure no power is
flowing through the unit.
Turn the dial to its lowest
temperature setting. Then
inspect the coil, contacts and
wire connections. Sweep
away dirt with a soft brush
(an old watercolor brush
will work). T^im the dial to
its highest temperature set-
ting to reach the rest of the
coil.
While the cover is off,
make sure that the wires
connecting the unit to the
heating/air conditioning
system are securely
wrapped around their termi-
nals (the little screws behind
the dial). Loose connections
can be re-wrapped using
needle-nose pliers.
One of the nice things
about having an older, low-
voltage thermostat is that
you can easily swap it out
for an electronic thermostat,
which runs on the same low
voltage and so can be
hooked up with the same
wires as the old thermostat
used. Electronic ther-
mostats give you the advan-
tage of precise temperature
control and can be pro-
grammed to minimize heat-
ing or cooling when you
aren't at home — saving
that much more money.

A Great Way To Expand A Home's Living Space
(ARA) - Is what used to
be your office now the ba-
by's room? Have your desk
and computer taken up resi-
dence in the formal living
room? Are you nmning out
of space to store your grow-
ing collection of stuff?
Now that summer is here,
it's a great time to reassess
how the space in yoiu- home
is being used. And if you're
looking for more creative
ways to utilize the space you
already have, look no fur-
ther than the backyard deck
- specifically imdemeath it.
"Expanding a home's
outdoor living space is a big
trend, and so many newer
homes have second or third
level decks with space un-
derneath that is basically
lost. Utilizing this normally
wasted space in the home is
easier to do than you may
think," says Don Garrison
of LockDry Decking.
While typical wood
decks have gaps between the
boards, providing no shelter
from the elements for the
area below, those that uti-
lize a watertight aluminimi
decking system like the one
offered by LockDry (www.
lockdry.com), can create
a beautifully finished and
gapless deck that keeps the
area under the deck dry, no
matter what the weather.

space for storage, a game
room for the kids, a work-
shop or an entertainment
room, the lower level is in-
stantly transformed into us-
able space when you seal
the deck above; and keeping
the area dry isn't the only
benefit aluminum decking
offers over wood and com-
posites.
"Aluminum is the per-
fect material for decking,"
explains Garrison. "It is
able to withstand the most
extreme outdoor elements.
It does not rust, rot, warp,
or splinter. It will not freeze
and crack. It does not con-
tain any chemicals that will
leach. It also weights less
than half of wood decking
and is much stronger."
Installation is simple,
and since the decking sur-
face is watertight, no water
penetrates to the deck fram-
ing, protecting the wooden
structure, and your house,
from moisture. Kits, which
are available directly from
LockDry, include trim for a
professional, finished look-
ing deck.
Aluminum railing sys-
tems are also available to
complete your deck. The
various styles will comple-
ment just about any archi-
tectural style, from contem-
porary to traditional . Choose
from cable, glass, picket and
decorative styles. They are
shipped in pre-assembled
sections for easy installa-
tion.

In addition, the decking is
maintenance free, so you'll
never have to replace a rot-
ted, cracked or warped board
again. You also won't have
to spend a perfect sununer
day waterproofing, staining
or painting the deck. All it
takes is periodic cleaning to
keep the deck looking great.
The aluminum decking
stays cool to the touch, has
a textured, non-skid powder
coat finish, and is available
in four beautiful colors, so
there's sure to be an option
that complements the color
scheme of your house.
Once your deck is fin-
ished, there's no end to
the ways you can decorate
it. Add potted or hanging
plants - the water runoff
won't harm your aluminum
deck like it would wood.
Add a table with an umbrel-
la and comfortable chairs,
and you're set to enjoy the
nice weather. The deck is
also the perfect place for
your grill, as most decks are
built off the kitchen. Add
some benches for extra seat-
ing, and you're ready to en-
tertain.
Each LockDry decking
system comes with a limited
lifetime warranty. For more
information, visit www.

Either Quincy Babe Ruth Or Quincy Youth Baseball
Decision Due Soon On
City's Babe Ruth Charters
By SEAN BRENNAN
The recent confusion
over which baseball orga-
nization in Quincy, Quincy
Babe Ruth League, Inc., or
Quincy Youth Baseball, is
officially sanctioned under
Babe Ruth Baseball, Inc
may soon be decided.
According to Mark Ma-
tanes. Babe Ruth MA State
Commissioner, two charters
were granted to the geo-
graphical area of Quincy
three years ago; a mistake
that has caused the uncer-
tainty in the city as to which
of these two organizations
holds an official Babe Ruth
charter.
At the present, both or-
ganizations hold an official
charter, but that is soon to
change.
"We have just one official
charter under Babe Ruth,
Inc. for the city of Quincy,"
said Matanes. "Three years
ago, somehow Quincy Babe
Ruth and Quincy Youth
Baseball were both granted
charters, which was a mis-
take. But as of February
2, 2009, and on the condi-
tion that Quincy Babe Ruth
League, Inc and President
Dick Lombardi met the re-
quirements necessary to re-
ceive the charter, including
fielding at minimum four
teams with 48 players, they
will be the official Babe
Sacred Heart
Ruth league in Quincy."
In a letter sent to Lom-
bardi and Sandy Verhault,
President of Quincy Youth
Baseball, from Matanes on
August 25, 2008 discussing
the results of a Babe Ruth,
Inc meeting on August 23,
2008 at the Marriott Hotel in
Quincy, it was decided that
"effective Feb. 2, 2009, one
13-15 Babe Ruth charter
would be assigned to Quin-
cy, MA zip codes 02169,
02170 and 02171 and that
this charter would be grant-
ed to Quincy Babe Ruth
League, Inc and to Richard
Lombardi as League Presi-
dent."
The charter would be
granted to Lombardi subject
to the approval of a written
plan submitted by Lombardi
to the State Commissioner
(Matanes), which calls for
the reorganization and re-
structure of the Quincy Babe
Ruth program. According to
Matanes, this plan must in-
clude a statement that "no
13-15 players, regardless of
ability, will be denied an op-
portunity to play Babe Ruth
baseball."
And the letter concluded
with the understanding that,
if the requirements were fol-
lowed and put into place by
Quincy Babe Ruth baseball,
this charter "for 2009 shall
carry with it an option for
Parish To Hold
Quincy Babe Ruth, and Mr.
Lombardi, to host the 2010
15-year-old Regional Babe
Ruth Tournament."
Present at the meeting on
Aug. 25, 2008 was Mr. Rob-
ert Faherty, Commissioner,
Babe Ruth Baseball, Inc.,
Mr. Norm Messier, New
England Commissioner;
Mr. Richard Roy, Asst. Re-
gional Commissioner and
Matanes.
Matanes added: "We
have to rectify this situation
to help end any confusion
about Babe Ruth in Quincy.
The city is supposed to have
just the one charter and pro-
viding that Quincy Babe
Ruth League, Inc. meets the
requirements put forth by
us, the charter will belong to
them."

Games.
Quincy's Ryan Fahey Wins Two
The 3"* annual John
O'Connell-Dave Thomson
Basketball Tournament was
recently held at the Fenno
Street basketball courts, and
for the third straight sum-
mer, the event was a huge
success.
The tournament is held
in the memory of John
O'Cormell and Dennis
Thomson, standout athletes
who graduated from North
Quincy High School in 2002
and whom both had their
lives cut tragically short in
the past four years. Both
men's families have set up
memorial scholarship funds
in their names to benefit
NQHS graduates.
The weekend tournament
(held the weekend of Aug.
23-24) featured a 16-team
men's tournament, as well as
a four- team women's tour-
nament, featuring a number
of current local college bas-
ketball players, as well as
many of the top former and
current schoolboy players
from Quincy.
For the second straight
year, Dave Jaehnig, a Quin-
cy resident and the captain
of the Westfield State bas-
ketball team, led his team
to the championship. Other
Quincy residents on the
championship team includ-
ed Mark Jaehnig and Ross
Pasquantonio.
The women's team cap-
tained by Quincy resident
and Newbury College play-
er Katelyn Mark captured
the women's championship.
Other Quincy residents on
the winning women's team
included Sarah Shea, Shauna
Kelly and Juliana Eagles.
Thanks to the generous
donations of numerous indi-
viduals and local business-
es, the O'Cormell-Thomson
Basketball Tournament
raised $3,000 to be split be-
tween the two scholarship
funds.

HEALTH and FITNESS
Back-To-School: Homework For Parents, Too
byAndruWriHt
MaSaS*! CaSaCaSa
Step Aerobics
Without the Sore
Knees
Q,One of my favorite
• group exercise class-
es used to be step aerobics,
but over time it began to
bother my knees. My gym
just started offering these
classes again, but I'm wor-
ried about hurting my
knees. Is there a right and
wrong way to do step class-
es:
A, Step group-exercise
• classes were extreme-
ly popular in the past and arc
again becoming more and
mcwre integrated in group-
excirise classes. The con-
cept of using a "step" for
cardiovascular and strength
training is now being used in
a combination of group
exercise classes, and even
though we step up and down
each day as we walk through
life, there arc ways to ensure
you are not injured during
step classes.
Concerns about hurling the
knees are very common in
step classes. Many adults
deal with achy, sore, tired
knees all day, and the last
thing they want to do is
stress already bothered
knees. To keep this from
happening, you can take pre-
cautions.
First, choose the appropri-
ate height of risers under the
step you are using. A step
thai is too high for your
height and leg length can
add unnecessary stress to
your knee. Many people
want a higher step to add
more intensity lo their work-
outs; however, a too-high
step can cause pressure on
the knee and hip, and over
time can cause pain or
injury.
A proper step height would
be with the knee at approxi-
mately a 60-degree angle
when one fool is on the step.
When starting out. you can
use a lower step, but the 60-
dcgrec iingle should be your
maximum step height.
Second, while stepping, it
is important lo step at a dis-
tance that is only one shoe
length behind the step.
Before beginning, place
your toes touching the step
and step back one shoe
length. Notice how far you
are from the step, and while
stepping down, be sure not
to step back any farther. It
may take a little time to get
u.s«J to this motion, but you
want to make sure you are
stepping up and not forward.
Another tip is to make sure
you are stepping up on the
step with your heel first and
making sure your whole foot
is on the step without your
heels hanging off the edge.
Landing on the step with
your toes first can keep you
from standing up complete-
ly and also can put added
.stress on the knees.
Be sure to speak with the
step-class instructor before-
hand about all of these prop-
er stepping techniques to
keep you .safe. Stepping is
great for cardiovascular and
strength ccmditioning. and
with proper technique, you
can keep stepping toward
your goals.
Always consult a physi-
cian before beginning an
exercise program.

CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR BREATH?
Many people have concerns
about bad breath, partkxilarty
in social situations. While many
breath odors stem from certain
foods, smoking, dieting, and
"morning breath," chronic hali-
tosis (the medical temi for bad
breath) Is less common. It can
stem from problems involving
the teeth, gums, and tongue.
For instance, even relatively
mikj gum disease can be the
source of makxtorous breath,
as plaque and its hardened
fomri, tartar, create pockets of in-
fection. Heavy bacterial plaque
can also forni on the back of
the tongue to putrefy and gen-
erate a variety of sulfur and
other odoriferous compounds.
Fortunately, bad breath can
be effecth/eiy addressed with
professionai dental care once
an aocurale diagnosis is made.
Good oral heirith hatNts can
contribute to reducing and
eliminating halitosis: bmshing
and fk)ssing daily as well as
regular professional cleanings
perfonned by our office. We
ensure you that we use all of
the available tools to make

(ARA) - As teens head
back to the classroom this
fall, they'll be assigned a
lot of homework in the three
"Rs": reading, writing, and
arithmetic. Important to
students' success will be
the homework parents do
in teaching two other "Rs":
role modeling and responsi-
bility.
"A parent's words and
actions provide powerful
role modeling," explains
Lonnie Carton, PhD, direc-
tor of teen and family re-
sources for the Web-based
"Warm2Kids" program and
an advisory panel member
of the "Family Talk About
Drinking" program. "They
teach teens what kind of be-
havior is expected of them
and how to make good deci-
sions. Responsible decisions
include obeying the law and
not getting involved in un-
derage drinking."
Although some parents
think peer pressure is the
major cause of underage
drinking, the fact is parents,
not peers, have the great-
est influence on their teens'
choices related to this issue.
According to the 2008 GfK
Roper Youth Report(TM) ,
71 percent of teenagers 13
to 17 say their parents are
the No. 1 influence on their
decisions about whether to
drink.
"Parents who commu-
nicate with their sons and
daughters regularly, openly
and honestly on a variety of
issues find it much easier to
talk with and listen to them
on sensitive subjects like al-
cohol," Carton advises. "At
the start of this new school
year, I encourage mothers
and fathers to take the time
to sit down with their chil-
dren. Discuss expectations,
and emphasize the impor-
tance of making wise choic-
es not only about underage
drinking but about all other
decisions."
Carton offers these
guidelines to parents for re-
maining a positive influence
in the lives of teens:
Be Factual. Give teens
the facts about underage
drinking in a calm, clear
manner. Simply say some-
thing like, "It's against the
law for anyone under 21
to use alcohol; our family
obeys the law and we expect
you to do the same."
Know Your Child's
Friends and Their Parents.
Being aware of other fami-
lies' values and rules will
help you better understand
what pressure your child's
friends may be putting on
him or her.
Get Help if You Need It.
Be aware of any changes in
your teen's behavior or atti-
tude such as suddenly doing
poorly in school, hanging
out with a different group
of friends whom you don't
know, or becoming disin-
terested in sports, music or
other activities which once
meant a lot, etc. If such
changes occur, seek profes-
sional advice right away.

Seconds That Could Save Your Life
By DR. JAMES LIN and
DR. CLIFFORD GLUCK
of Milton Hospital
It seems like every time
we turn on the TV these
days there's another com-
mercial about prostate prob-
lems. But what is the pros-
tate and why do so many
men have problems with it?
Doctors James Lin and Clif-
ford Gluck of Milton Hospi-
tal answer commonly asked
questions about this issue,
and share what every man
should know about good
prostate health.
Question: What does
the prostate do?
Answer: This small
gland makes a fluid that ac-
tivates sperm and provides
protection against infection.
Question: Why are pros-
tate problems so common?
Answer: As we age,
changes in our body may
cause the prostate to grow,
and cause health problems
such as difficulty urinating.
In addition, these changes
put our bodies at risk of
prostate cancer. In fact, the
most common cancer in
men is prostate cancer. For-
tunately there are easy tests
to screen for such problems.
Question: Isn't frequent
urination a normal occur-
rence as we age?
Answer: Actually no.
Urinary problems may be
a sign of a cancerous or
benign (noncancerous) en-
largement of the prostate
that can cause blockage of
the bladder. If you are hav-
ing any urinary symptoms
such as slow urinary stream,
going to the bathroom sev-
eral times a night, or trouble
emptying your bladder, tell
your doctor. You don't need
to suffer with these symp-
toms. There are many ways
to fix these problems with
medication or other treat-
ment options. The earlier
they are caught and treated,
the better the success rate of
treatment.
Question: I feel fine.
Why should I have a pros-
tate exam?
Answer: It's important
to be screened for pros-
tate cancer, no matter how
healthy you feel. One in
seven men will develop
prostate cancer in their life-
time. In the early stages of
prostate cancer, there are no
symptoms whatsoever. The
earlier it is caught, the bet-
ter the chances of successful
treatment.
Question: I'm nervous
about the screening. What
does it involve?
Answer. Your doctor
performs two tests to check
prostate health: a digital
exam that takes just a few
seconds and a blood test.
The digital exam involves
the doctor inserting a finger
into the rectum momen-
tarily to feel the prostate for
bumps or anything unusual.
It might feel slightly uncom-
fortable but it's over in sec-
onds and does not hurt.
Your doctor should also
take a blood test that checks
the PSA levels in your blood .
PSA— which stands for
prostate-specific antigen—
measures the level of protein
in the blood produced by the
prostate. A high PSA level is
an indicator of the possibil-
ity of prostate cancer.
Question: Why can't I
just have the blood test and
skip the digital exam?
Answer: Some patients
have a normal PSA reading
but still have a lump in the
prostate. That's why these
two tests together are the
best way to catch and treat
prostate cancer in its earliest
stages.
Question: When should I
begin having screenings?
Answer: All men should
have prostate exams starting
at age 50. However, if your
father, brother, or uncle has
had prostate cancer, ask your
doctor to begin screenings
at age 40. If you are African
American your screenings
should also start at age 40.
Question: How is pros-
tate cancer treated?
Answer: Oftentimes the
prostate is removed. Today
there are new minimally in-
vasive surgeries that drasti-
cally reduce recovery time,
pain, and side effects to a
man's quality of life. Years
ago removing the pros-
tate required open surgery,
which required a six-week
recovery time and some-
times caused erectile and
urinary problems.
Today, there is a new
robotic technique— using a
machine called the da Vin-
ci—that enables the surgeon
to spare the nerves. This
T
S>.-v
<_et7tf*t
',.**:« ■?«-»■, *^-<',-* :^'j^iy^^^.'>^ *r*.ri*v*'t'* y*' * if^ **■* ■ i^ ^* *'
protects a man's ability to
experience sexual activity
normally, and prevents un-
comfortable problems such
as incontinence.
Making small incisions,
the surgeon uses the da Vin-
ci machine to look into the
body with a high-resolution
camera. This actually en-
ables the surgeon to see ar-
eas of the body that would
be difficult to see during an
open surgery. In this way,
the robotic machine im-
proves the precision of the
surgery being performed.
Question: What is the
recovery like for patients
having this type of surgery?
Answer: Usually pa-
tients can go home from the
hospital within one to two
days. Recently, a young pa-
tient in his 50s went through
this surgery. The day after
surgery, he looked great.
He was sitting up in a chair
watching TV, and greeted
me with a smile. He said he
was feeling good, and the
pain was nothing like what
he expected. That is a won-
derful patient experience.
Question: What is the
best thing I can do to protect
my prostate health?
Answer: Eat a healthy,
low-fat diet. Also, foods
with lycopene contain pro-
tective antioxidants that are
believed to lower your risk
of prostate cancer. Lycopene
is found in cooked tomato
foods like marinara sauce.
Most importantly, ask
yoiu- family care practi-
tioner for regular prostate
cancer screenings. Doctors
today consider cholesterol
and blood sugar tests routine
parts of a physical, but they
don't always include a pros-
tate test. Ask for this quick
and easy test. It could save
your life.

Brought to the U.S. as an

beekeepers, the invasive
Hogwsvd was found to cause
severe skin bums when
its sap contacts skin
and then is exposed to
sunlight. Even blindness
can occur if the toxins

finding them must avoid
them completely and notify

How Do Tobacco Smoke
And Car Exhaust Compare?
Like petroleum combus-
tion exhaust, cigarette smoke
is a very complex chemical
mixture that contains vola-
tile, semi-volatile, and non-
volatile compounds, the
latter associated with par-
ticles. Some 400-500
gaseous compounds and
3500 particulate phase com-
pounds have been identified
in cigarette smoke.
Similarly, gasoline and
diesel exhausts contain
hundreds of gas phase com-
pounds, although not all of
the compounds present are
identifiable. Despite many
analytic studies, vehicle par-
ticulate matter has only been
partially analyzed. Still, of
the fraction analyzed, hun-
dreds of organic compounds
and many inorganic com-
pounds have been identified
in exhaust particles. More
appear as the particles age
in the atmosphere.
Many of the known tox-
ic compounds in tobacco
smoke are also emitted from
combustion of petroleum
hydrocarbons, so there is
significant overlap in the
lists of compounds that have
been identified in these mix-
tures to date.
The key difference is that
tobacco, being a biologi-
sneiDPW
cal product, contains much
more nitrogen than does
crude or refined petroleum,
in which nitrogen is rare.
Thus, tobacco and tobacco
smoke contain several class-
es of nitrdgen-containing
chemicals that are not pres-
ent in petroleum fuels and
their exhausts.
Some of these are toxico-
logically important, associ-
ated with bladder cancer and
other health effects. Thus,
there is only a partial paral-
lel in chemical composition,
and some of the differences
are sure to be important
ones.
Following are two lists.
In the first list. Table 1,
are groups of toxins that
are found in both tobacco
smoke, and petroleum ve-
hicle exhaust. This list is not
intended to be comprehen-
sive; it is focused mostly on
carcinogens and other im-
portant toxic substances.
The second list identi-
fies some classes of chemi-
cals that are associated with
tobacco smoke, but not
exhaust. Again, important
compounds from a toxico-
logical point of view were
selected.
The list in table 2 isn't
perfectly exclusive since
a few of these compounds
were identified by the In-
ternational Agency for Re-
search on Cancer as possibly
present in diesel exhaust.
However, the carcinogenic
nitrosamines derived from
nicotine are a very impor-
tant difference.
There are also some
groups of chemicals that
are present in vehicle ex-
haust but not tobacco, such
as hopanes and steranes, but
little to nothing is known
about them toxicologically.

Lack Of Local Contests Reason For 20% Prediction
Light Voter l\irnout Seen
For State Primaries Sept. 16
A light voter turnout is
seen for next week's state
primary elections due main-
ly to a drought in contests at
the local level.
City Clerk Joseph Shea
believes no more than 20
percent-maybe fewer-of the
53,968 registered voters will
cast ballots.
If so, it would mean
about 10,600 going to the
polls and more than 43,000
staying home.
There are only two can-
didates on the Democratic
ballot-neither local:
Senator John Kerry,
challenged by Edward J.
O'Reilly and Governor's
Councillor Christopher A.
lannella, Jr. is opposed by
Stephen F. Flynn of Hull
and Robert L. Toomey of
Abington.
There isn't a single con-
test on the Republican ballot
and only two candidates.
PVIilll
"You really need local
contests to get voters out,"
Shea says. "There's none
this year."
Unopposed next Tuesday
are Democratic incumbents:
State Senator Michael
Morrissey, State Reps.
Bruce Ayers, Stephen Tobin
and Ronald Mariano.
Also without challeng-
ers are Democrats Register
of Probate Patrick McDer-
mott, former Quincy city
councillor; Treasurer Joseph
A. Connolly of Weymouth,
commissioners John M. Gil-
lis, former Quincy city clerk,
and Francis W. O'Brien of
Dedham.
Congressman William
Delahunt of Quincy is also
unopposed.
The only two candidates
on the Republican ballot are
Jeffrey K. Beatty of Harwich
for U.S. Senator and Thom-
as E. Gorman of Dedham
for county commissioner.
There are no Republican
candidates for governor's
councillor, state senator,
state representative, register
of probate and court trea-
surer.
Senator Kerry has his first
Democratic challenger in 24
years in O'Reilly, a Glouc-
ester lawyer, whose political
experience has been limited
to two years as a city coun-
cillor and two years as a
school committeeman.
O'Reilly is Kerry's first
Democratic challenger since
he was first elected in 1984.
His only major opposition
since was Gov. William
Weld, a Republican.
The expected turnout
next Tuesday is consider-
ably lower than that in the
Presidential Primaries in
February.
That turnout was 43 per-
cent with races betv/een
Democrats Barack Obama
and Hillary Clinton and
Republicans John McCain
and Mitt Romney the attrac-
tions.
Clinton took Quincy over
Obama by a wide margin,
63 to 29 percent. Romney
edged McCain here with a
vote of just under 48 percent
to 43 percent.
Quincy 's 30 voting plac-
es will be open from 7 a.m.
to 8 p.m. next Tuesday.
Voters of Ward 6, Pre-
cinct 3 will cast their ballots
at the former Beechwood
Community Life Center,
440 East Squantum St.,
which will be open for the
elections.
To aid Asian voters. Shea
has printed posters listing
the locations of the 30 poll-
ing places in Chinese and
Vietnamese. They are being
prominendy displayed at the
precincts and in windows of
various businesses.

The first new building
in the $98.9 million Quincy
High School complex will
be completed in February
and the first classes will be
held there Monday. Feb. 23.
when the kids return from
the midwinter vacation.
"In February, we will
move into the new Science/
Technology/Engineering/
Math Academy,' said Prin-
cipal Frank Santoro in his
September message to par-
ents.
"We will be saddened as
we say goodbye to Quincy
High School as we know
it, yet we will be excited to
be part of what it will be-
come."
All of the students in
the high school will use the
newly constructed facility at
one time or another as class-
es from the old school are
integrated into a philosophy
of education that crosses the
lines of the various disci-
plines.
The transfer of the neces-
sary equipment to the new
school will be accomplished
during the Februar\ vaca-
tion (Feb. 16-20) so it will
be ready when the students
come back.
"Half of the new high
school is already built,"" said
Santoro.
Eventually, the Quincy
High School complex will
be divided into three parts
— the Science Math Acad-
emy, the Humanities/Arts
Academy and h recondi-
tioned West Campus, the old
building
The move into the new
Science Math Academy w ill
enable uork crews to begin
dem(ihj.hing the old Center
for Technical Training to
make way for the Humani-
ties/Arts Academy.
That part of the complex
is due to be finished in Sep-
tember. 2010.

City's Solar Challenge Adds
$10,000 To Clean Energy Fund
Quincy failed to meet the
Solar Challenge earlier this
year but the effort is being
credited with adding more
than $10,000 to the city's
Clean Energy Fund.
Last spring, the city tried
to increase the number of
residents and businesses
sup-porting Clean Energy
Choice programs by taking
part in Massachusetts Tech-
nology Col-laborative's So-
lar Challenge.
If it had increased the.
number of supporters by
1 50 before May 30, it would
have received a free two-
kilowatt solar installation.
The city failed its goal.
But the effort spurred
nearly 100 residents and
businesses to support re-
newable energy through
GreenStart or the New Eng-
land Green Fund. As a re-
sult, the Clean Energy Fund
increased from $27,133 as
of Dec. 31 to $37,326 as of
June 30.
The Quincy Environ-
mental Network cited five
businesses for their support

Billboard Site Draws Crowded Picket Line
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Mike DeAngelo's
months-long vigil picket-
ing the controversial West
Qiiincy billboard is getting
a lot livelier.
On both Friday and
Monday, a half dozen neigh-
bors and friends joined
DeAngelo at evening rush
hour on the Crescent Street
picket line with signs pro-
testing the 82-foot struc-
ture.
"It's an affront to the
whole city," said DeAngelo
who has been picketing the
site since the billboard was
erected last spring ."...as
many days as I can."
"They don't belong in a
neighborhood, " DeAngelo
said of the billboard, add-
ing that the way it was done
was, especially, offensive to
the residents.
But this week, DeAngelo
and residents weren't alone
on the tiny sidewalk in front
of Biondi's Auto Service.
Three of their opponents
held signs Monday evening
supporting the billboard.
One Biondi supporter,
John Sautter of Whitman,
carried a sign reading, "I
Love Biondi's," with an
insult aimed at DeAngelo
penciled in at the comers.
At times, the Biondi sup-
porters attempted to mingle
with the protesters and that
heated the emotions on both
sides.
DeAngelo's group
sought to alert billboard op-
ponents to a Zoning Board
Appeals (ZBA) meeting set
for Tuesday after deadline.
Board members are sched-
uled to consider two appeals
filed by opposing parties
challenging the city's deci-
sions on the billboard.
Boston Outdoor Ventures,
an affiliate a New York ad-
versting firm, is challenging
the city's decision to order
the company's billboard
dismantled while Maloney
Capitol Co., LLC. is ap-
pealing the ZBA's original
decision granting the bill-
board variance.
Among other issues,
Maloney 's appeal cites the
two-sided nature of the bill-
board.
This week, both sides
on the picket lines sought
public support but there
was no contest as opponents
won hands down. Drivers
honked their horns in a cho-
rus of support, cheered out
their windows, and gave the
thumbs up signal to bill-
board opponents.
Pickets opposing the bill-
board included Michelle
McGahey, Ross Stiffler,
Safwan Eid, George Proto,
Sean Campbell and Ryan
DeAngelo.
WHITMAN RESIDENT John Sautter praised Biondi's Ser-
vice Center where he has had his car repaired. He supported
Biondi's 82-foot billboard and crayoned in insults to oppo-
nents.
BILLBOARD OPPONENTS Michelle McGahey and Mike
DeAngelo hold signs asking people to "help take down the bill-
board." A Zoning Board of Appeals hearing was held 'Hies-
day. Quincy Sun Photos/Laura Griffin
McGahey stood with
her sign on Willard Street
and predicted that hundreds
would turn out at this week's
ZBA meeting.
When asked why she
was there, she replied, "I
live on Crescent St."
In the past, residents of
Crescent Street, Hall Place
and Willard Street have
filled meeting halls when
the billboard issue has been
discussed.

There are legal restric-
tions on billboards erected
close to residential neigh-
borhoods and there have
been questions of whether
the area is substantially
business or residential.
The West Quincy
neighborhood nearby
has businesses, Biondi's
Auto Service, and Curry
Hardware, but, also, fea-
tures a mix of Garrisons
and Capes with a smatter-
ing of large Victorian homes
as well as multi -family
residences featuring coifed
lawns and blooming flower
gardens.

native, said he was support-

As for the billboard, he
said, "It doesn't bother me.
I moved out of Quincy."
DeAngelo has been pick-
eting the Biondi's site regu-
larly since late spring when
the billboard was erected.
The company sought to
limit his picketing through
a complaint in district court.
The case was continued.
In addition, both

charges and counter-charges

May Have Problem With Mailboxes
Council Plans Campaign
To Rub Out Citywide Graffiti
By LAURA GRIFFIN
City councillors plan to
battle the increasing inci-
dence of graffiti defacing
traffic signals, electric box-
es, mailboxes, and private
property through a clean-up
campaign and the stepped-
up criminal prosecution of
vandals.
Their biggest challenge
in the. cleanup campaign
may be the United States
Postal Service.
Mailboxes with their sol-
id blue background provide
one of the most attractive
canvasses for graffiti, but
postal officials may present
the biggest obstacle in the
clean-up campaign.
"We've reached out on
two occasions to the Post
Office," Jim Fatseas, the
mayor's chief of staff said,
adding, "The response
Convention Vote
Returns Mariano
To School Board
State Rep. Ron Mariano
is back on the School Com-
mittee after a three year
break and expected to take
his seat at Wednesday
Agenda items Wednes-
day included a vote on new
school lunch prices as well
as updates on both the new
Quincy High School and
sites for the Central Middle
School.
A joint convention of the
City Council and School
Committee elected Mariano
with a hefty majority of 1 2- 1
with two voting presents on
Sept. 2. City Clerk Joseph
Shea administered the oath
of office to Mariano imme-
diately after the vote.
Mariano fills the vacancy
created when Kevin Mul-
vey resigned last month
after Mayor Thomas Koch
appointed him as the school
system's Human Resources
Director.
Councillors and school
conmiittee members initially
had a choice of three candi-
dates, Mariano, Eileen Mul-
len and Karl Roos. Howev-
er, Roos withdrew from the
candidates' field through his
nomination speech.
School Committee mem-
bers Anne Mahoney and Da-
vid McCarthy voted present
while City Council President
Jay Davis voted for Mullen.
All other councillors and
school committee members
voted for Mariano.
In his candidates' speech,
Mariano described his 12
years experience as a teacher
and his 16 years serving on
the school committee. He
noted that he is a product of
the Quincy public schools.
Mullen who placed third
in the last School Commit-
tee election said the con-
vention should choose the
candidate who campaigned
for the position and earned
votes from the people in the
last election.
Roos said he entered the
race because people encour-
aged him after he'd been a
candidate in the last Joint
Convention. However, after
assessing the situation, he
said, "I decided to withdraw
my name from nomina-
tion..."
"I think people respect
and can relate to the fact
that I have children in the
schools" and "20 years of
real world business experi-
ence."
"I have respect for Rep.
Mariano, " said Roos, add-
ing, "He does a lot being the
Chair of the Finance Com-
mittee (state)... 1 genuinely
wish him well and hope he
does an incredible job. Why
wouldn't 1 want that? I have
children in the system and
plan on living in Quincy for
a long time."

hasn't been stellar."
The whole issue of postal
boxes involves a Catch 22,
according to speakers at the
Sept. 2 council meeting. It's
against the law for anyone
other than postal officials
to paint the mailboxes, but
postal officials don't have
the time or money to do the
job.
In their first step toward
attacking the graffiti prob-
lem,councillors voted unani-
mously to approve President
Jay Davis's resolution call-
ing for a meeting of public
and private officials, rang-
ing from the Department of
Public Works and the police
department to officials from
Verizon, National Grid and
the Postal Service.
However, Fatseas indi-
cated that officials at the
USPS can be implacable in
protecting the government's
control over mailboxes,
right down to its paint. He
described his futile requests
to Quincy and Boston postal
officials.
City Solicitor James Tim-
mins outlined federal regu-
lations regarding federal
property. Strictly interpret-
ed, only the postal service
can paint the mailboxes.
"They have limited re-
sources," according to
Fatseas who said. "There
are no easy answers."
"They only do a commu-
nity once a year," said Da-
vis, indicating that USPS
only returns to each area on
a designated schedule.
"I've been asking ques-
tions and not getting any an-
swers," said Ward 2 Coun-
cillor Daniel Raymondi
who later recommended that
the city adopt a "judicial
remedy" to deal with the
post office .
"Leaving it (graffiti) on
there is unacceptable," said
Raymondi who suggested
the issue could be resolved
through city ordinances or
building violations.
"They can't have it both
ways," Davis said.
A WOLLASTON MAILBOX illustrates the work of graffiti
vandals. Mailbox graffiti may be the hardest problem to solve.
Looking for
an investment
that's guaranteed

What's the main problem with stock market investments and mutual funds?
Simple - you just can't be sure that your money will grow. In fact, you can't even
be sure that your principal won't shrink. And while no one would deny that
market-based investments should at least be considered as part of a diversified
investment plan, sometimes you have money you don't want to put at risk in
any way. Maybe it's money you're going to need soon. Maybe it's your IRA or
Roth IRA. Maybe you're a conservative saver who simply wants investments
that are guaranteed to grow. We understand. Which is why we don't sell stocks.
We don't sell mutual funds. We don't sell annuities. Colonial Federal Is a

By Henry Bosworth
That No-Name One
Huiricanes now have names and we know when
they are coming and where they are going, if they
don't suddenly take an unexpected left or right hand
tum.
Which gives areas in their path time to prepare for
them and evacuate if necessary.
A lot different, say, than sneaking up on New Eng-
land as that one did 70 years ago this Sept. 21 .
You might say it was a bitch. Or a bastard. It had no
legitimate name.
It's remembered simply as the Hurricane of 1938.
But there was nothing simple about its fury.
There have been others here since. But they had real
names like Carol, Diane, Gloria, Hugo, Bob, Bonnie,
Danielle, etc. And we knew they were coming and had
time to get ready.
Hurricanes prowling the East Coast were somewhat
rare around 1938 and they weren't tracked from as far
away as Africa as they are with today's sophisticated
technology.
But this one slipped into the area when no one was
looking.
Before it left, it claimed more than 600 lives in the
New England area-fortunately none in Quincy-and
caused millions of dollars in damage.
You could buy a pretty good house for something
like $3,000 or $4,000 back then. Considering that,
those millions of dollars in damage would translate
into billions of dollars today.
The late Tom Burgin, mayor at the
time, in an interview, remembered it
this way:
"It came in around 5:30 p.m. We
had mo advance warning. It just ar-
rived unannounced.
"Trees and wires came crashing
down. Utility poles were scattered
about. Windows in the stores downtown were blown
in. Boats were torn loose off the yacht clubs.
"There were 3,900 trees down city wide and all the
fire alarm boxes and police boxes were out of conunis-
sion. There was no electricity."
Burgin called in the National Guard-for the first
time ever here in peacetime.
"We were afraid of the stores being looted. And we
needed extra help and patrols in other areas," he said.
BURGIN
Squantum, Houghs Neck and Germantown were
cut off from the rest of the city by mountainous high
flooding tides.
Winds were 90 to 100 miles per hour with gusts at
120 or more.
"As I remember," Burgin said, "the eye of the hur-
ricane came right over Quincy.
"It took weeks to recover and get back to normal.
It was a horrible storm and certainly left a lasting im-
pression on me. I will never forget it."
The East Coast in recent years has been spared
Mother Nature's wrath as hurricanes like Katrina,
Gustav and Hanna went elsewhere.
It wasn't until 1953 that the National Hurricane
Center began using female names for hurricanes and
in 1979 started alternating between female and make
names. A little male equality.
But that no name one in 1938 is still one of the big-
gest and best remembered of them all.

Scenes From Yesterday
Boulevard and Aviation Grounds towards Squaotura, Atlaatic, Mass.
/
NINETY-EIGHT YEARS ago this week the Harvard
Boston Aero Meet was held at the Harvard Aero Field in
Atlantic. The Harvard Aeronautical Society had rented
the 500-acre field for five years. They offered large cash
prizes for record-breaking thrilling contests to lure the
most daring aviators and the most advanced aviation
equipment from around the UJS. and Europe to this
meet. It was only the second aero-meet held in the U.S.
and it was only seven years after the Wright Brothers'
first flight at Kitty Hawk. Wilbur Wright was present but
he did not participate. Among the over 50,000 observers
who came to Quincy that week were President William
Howard Taft, Mayor John F. (Honey Fitz) Fitzgerald
and New York state senator Franklin Roosevelt. This
postcard, looking north on the newly opened Wollaston
Boulevard, shows a French-built Bleroit monoplane
with Englishman Claude Graham- White at the controls.
He won most of the contests at the event. Today, there
is a Dunkin' Donut shop on the corner of the Squantum
Causeway pretty much where the tent is seen on the left.
Moswetuset Hummock is on the right. To contact Tom
Galvin, e-mail tmgalvin@verizon.net.

^Go Back To School/
Former Mayor Urges Teens
By FRANK McCAULEY
"Go back to school boys and girls while you have the
opportunity."
That was the message voiced by
William A. Bradford, former mayor
of Quincy, a civic-minded citizen
and a man who for over 45 years
has been either directly or indi-
rectly identified with the education
of youth. He was referring to the current "Go-To-School"
drive, which is directed at keeping boys and girls in their
upper teens in school.
Some of Bradford's most distinguished public service
has been rendered in connection with his work on the ad-
visory committee of the Quincy Trade School, of which he
has been the sparkplug for many years. ( Editor's note: Brad-

ternational, is the centerpiece of Boston's 200th anniversary celebration. The "ARISE" gatherings

God through prayer and reflection on the Scriptures. Come and make new friendships through the
dynamics of the small faith community, prayer, learning, sharing, and support.

In addition to a police
officer stationed on East
Squantum Street, Koch re-
quested an additional pres-
ence on Hancock Street
near the McDonald's res-
taurant and North Quincy
MBTA station. On the first
day of school police pulled
over several cars that drove
through a crosswalk, and are
directing students to the saf-
est areas to cross the street.
"We are there to ensure
the drivers do what they are
supposed to, and the kids do
what they are supposed to.
and it is showing clear signs
of working," said Police
Chief Paul Keenan.
Traffic Engineer Jack
Gillon has added new signs
in the area, placed pedestri-
an barrels on both Hancock

tinues to repair signal timing

reviewing several other im-
mediate options. His depart-
ment has been working on a
complete traffic study of the
area as a precursor to major
reconstruction project at the
intersection.
"There is no silver-bullet

the help of state funding and
continued work, a major
reconstruction will help al-
leviate many of the historic
problems in that area," Gil-
lon said.

Quincy Youth-Build Students Team With Red Sox In Renovation Project
Matt Miller says it was
by far the best day of his
life. The Quincy Youth-
Build student got to spend
last Saturday using skills he
had learned in the program
to help in the second an-
nual Red Sox "Foundation
Nation Community Service
Day" - and to meet some of
his favorite Red Sox play-
ers.
On that surmy August
day YouthBuild students
joined with four other Bos-
ton Coalition YouthBuilds
in helping volunteers from
the Red Sox Foundation,
Covidien - the event's cor-
porate sponsor - and local
building tradesmen update
Brockton Veterans Hospital
recreational facilities Build-
ing 23.
With Miller were fel-
low student Ryan Serafini,
YouthBuild Worksite Su-
pervisor Nick Morganelli,
Quincy Housing Authority
Lead Carpenter Paul Cur-
ran, as well as staff mem-
bers Darcy Cordner, Isabel
Cobb and Annette Owens
from Training Resources of
America, Inc., which oper-
ates the Quincy YouthBuild
program, and Miller's moth-
er, Debbie.
"Saturday's event was
very rewarding. It was a
privilege to take part along
with the Red Sox Founda-
tion and the Covidien volun-
teers. Everyone was energet-
ic about helping the veterans
and the current troops. It
was a thrill of a lifetime to
be part of such a wonderful
event and very exciting to
meet the Red Sox players,"
said Cobb, the Quincy site
manager.
Some of the projects
accomplished during the
6-hour event were: painting
several interior and exterior
doors; cleaning the patio
and spreading gravel; clean-
ing pool area walls and heat
grates; removing pool bal-
cony theater seats to allow
more storage; cleaning and
painting the storage area; as-
sembling and installing bas-
ketball court storage cages
and painting cabinets; and
replacing locker room stor-
age cabinets.
On the baseball field and
the surrounding courtyard,
work included: planting
shade trees by the field; lev-
eling the pitcher's mound;
applying chicken grit to
the field; installing a new
home plate; water sealing
and placing picnic tables;
removing weeds; and apply-
ing mulch around the court-
yard perimeter.
MATT MILLER carries in a storage cage section to the Brock-
ton VA Hospital basketball court.

age cage section.
Meanwhile other volun-
teers assembled care pack-
ages for soldiers overseas.
In addition, as part of
their program, the students
had come to the hospital
three times before the event
to work on the building.
"One of the nicest things
was how the veterans were

Norfolk County Sheriff
Michael Bellotti is urging
senior citizens who live
alone to enroll in his "Are
You OK?" daily phone
check program after it pos-
sibly saved the life of an
80-year-old woman.
She was the 55th person
helped by the free program
since it was started in 2001 .
The woman recently fell
and injured her head and was
unable to summon help for
herself but a Bellotti staffer
did when she failed to re-
spond to the early morning
call to her home.
Each morning, 365 days
a year, members of the sher-
iff's staff place phone calls
MICHAEL BELLOTTI
to about 300 elderly people
living in Norfolk County
who have signed up for the
service.
If the staffer detects that
something is amiss with the
person, help can be sent im-
mediately to his or her ad-
dress.
"Time and time again,
the 'Are You OK?' program
has prevented tragedies by
getting emergency help torn
people when they need it,"
said Bellotti.
"We have the capacity to
serve so many more people
with this service. No elderly
person should be in fear of
suffering a medical emer-
gency and not being able to
receive help."
People interested in sign-
ing up for the Are You OK?
Service should contact the
sheriff's office at 781-751-
3504.

At Former Naval Air Base
Delahunt Sees Quincy
As Home Port For
Tourist Ferry Service
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Congressman William
Delahunt envisions a ma-
rine highway for tourists
visiting Massachusetts' his-
tory rich "Cultural Coast"
with Quincy as the major
port.
The hub of the ferry net-
work would be the 50-acre
Squantum Point Park, the
site of the former Naval Air
Base where a 250-foot pier
already juts into the bay
and where, day after day,
nearly 1000 parking spaces
sit idle.
"The potential is enor-
mous. Quincy could be a
gateway for a significant in-
flux of tourists," said Dela-
hunt of the park, currently
under the jurisdiction of the
state's Department of Con-
servation and Recreation
(DCR).
Delahunt stressed that
the proposal is still in the
concept phase, but could
include an extended board-
walk from Marina Bay, a
National Park presence, and
tourist trolleys to and from
Quincy Center.
"Quincy would play a
prominent role," Delahunt
said of the project billed as
a regional initiative for tour-
ism.
One major appeal for
Delahunt is that the key
components, the solid pier
and an enormous and empty
parking lot, are already in
place , at no cost , ready-made
and begging to be used.
Delahunt called the site
"an underutilized asset that
coincides with our efforts to
improve water transporta-
tion."
Delahunt and his team
is currently meeting with
Mayor Thomas Koch and
state legislators and said an
open meeting for residents
will be scheduled in the
fall.
He applauded the city's
tourist initiatives in the
past year and commended
Koch and Mark Carey, Ex-
ecutive Director of Discover
Quincy, for their success in
boosting and handling the
thousands of new tourists to
the city.
"Quincy is being discov-
ered," said Delahunt, adding
that a ferry service would
enhance tourism.
"I think it could be one of
the most exciting efforts,"
Delahunt said, adding, "It
could help in the transforma-
tion of downtown Quincy."
"We are so rich in his-
tory. We ought to have an
historical trail," Delahunt
CONGRESSMAN WILLIAM DELAHUNT
said. The first step will be
to compile an inventory of
available resources and de-
velop a plan with input from
all levels.
While some team mem-
bers working with the con-
gressman are hoping to kick
off the ferry project next
spring, Delahunt said they'll
take all the time needed.
"I don't want to give out
a time frame. Dates will be
flexible," Delahunt said,
noting that nothing should
be rushed. "We want to have
a seamless transition."
As an example of the po-
tential, Delahunt suggested
that tourists using ferry
service to and from Boston
and Squantum Point could
easily visit landmarks hon-
oring three presidents, John
Adams, John Quincy Adams
and President John Kennedy
whose library is less than a
quarter of a mile across the
bay.
"It's almost as if it speaks
out for access from the sea,"
Delahunt said of the Kenne-
dy site, noting that tourists
must now enter the library
grounds by car or mass tran-
sit.
Delahunt, also, said it
would be remarkably fitting
that the Kermedy landmarks
be visited by sea as the love
of ocean and sailing is so
much a part of the Kennedy
legacy.
According to Naval his-
torians, the eldest Kennedy
brother, Joseph, was one of
the 2,000 pilots who trained
at Squantum Naval Air base
for World War II.
The airport site, original-
ly Dennison Airport, is rich
in history, boasting some
of the earliest air shows,
including demonstrations
by Wilbur Wright. Among
the spectators at one air
show was President William
Howard Taft and Franklin
Delano Roosevelt before his
presidency.
Women pioneer pilots
Amelia Earhart and Harriet
Quimby, flew planes from
Dermison Airport. Quimby
was killed after a fall from
her plane into Quincy Bay.
Delahunt believes there
are dozens of regional des-
tinations possible for a
ferry line. He described key
points on what he calls the
"Cultural Coast" from Sa-
lem to Quincy to Plymouth
and beyond.
According to Captain
Mike Schiller of Boston
Belle Charters, there are
roughly 39 nautical miles
from Salem from to Plym-
outh and about 14.5 nauti-
cal miles from Salem to
Quincy.
Tourists would be off the
roads through this green ini-
tiative traveling North and
South, noted Delahunt who
said the ferries could keep
going the distance to Prov-
incetown and the National
Seashore.
For shorter trips, Dela-
hunt suggested ferries to the
Harbor Islands or to nearby
Houghs Neck where Presi-
dent John Quincy Adams
left for Europe.
"The numbers of visitors
to Boston Harbor Islands
is dramatically less (than it
should be)," Delahunt said,
of the last count of 85,000
islands' visitors.
With the National Park
Service edging toward its
100^ anniversary in 2016,
creating a tourist mecca in
Squantum could celebrate
the service in a special way.
A FIELD OF RAGWEED covers one the remnants of a former airport runway at Squantum
Point Park, formerly Squantum Naval Air Base. Stone plaques installed on the walkway de-
scribe the park's history. {Quincy Sun Photos/Laura Griffin)
AMELIA EARHART, a woman pioneer pilot, was a director of Dennison Airport which was
renamed Squantum Naval Air Base during World War II. The base closed in 1953.
PIER AT SQUANTUM POINT PARK could accommodate a tourist ferry. The 250 foot pier was
used to transport workers and equipment during the MWRA's Deer Island sewage project.
A massive waterfront
park in Quincy would be
ideal , according to Quincy 's
P. J. Foley who noted that
the old airport site has 50
acres and, by comparison,
Boston Public Gardens has
only 25 to 30 acres.
Foley called the airport
site now "a vast wasteland"
with a field of ragweed and
said he hopes there will
be a pilot program by next
spring.
He outlined a week
of daily ferry travels that
would allow tourists to visit
Race Point at the National
Seashore, visit the Harbor
Islands another day, and the
Adams and Kennedy sites,
another day and fill their
date book for weeks.
Foley cited the financial
impact that tourism has had
on Salem and suggested
Quincy could outpace Sa-
lem easily if the project is
properly done.
Salem's tourism has in-
creased by 25% to 30% in
the past year and many at-
tribute that to the ferry ser-
vice.
Another by-product of
the ferry service would be
a commuter service for resi-
dents, according to Foley.
"We can restore the wet-
lands," Foley said. Right
now, he noted the walking
paths do not run along the
sea. An extension around
the DCR's park could in-
crease the boardwalk by
approximately one mile, he
said..
Foley would like to see
the boardwalk continued
even further, around neigh-
boring Boston Scientific on
Conmiander Shea Boule-
vard. That would increase
the walkway roughly a mile
and one half.
Everybody questions
how the project will be
funded, according to Foley
who suggested the partner-
ship could seek federal ini-
tiative funds as the project
would improve "green alter-
native transportation."
Delahunt who has initi-
ated the discussion calls
the preliminary concepts
"exciting," especially with
so many of the essentials al-
ready in place. However, he
cautioned, "This is very pre-
liminary. I can't overstate
we're open to input."
While the water
ferries traveling to and from
Boston could also attract
commuters, that would not
be the chief goal, according
to Delahunt who said, "We
don't want to inundate Ma-
rina Bay with traffic."
The DCR's official ac-
cess route to Point Squan-
tum Park is Commander
Shea Boulevard.

fice at 617-770-3700.

FIRE SAFETY
by Captain Tom Lyons
Fin Prevendm Bureau
Quincy FinDtpmimerU
Fire Prevention Miscellaneous
A couple of issues have
been brought to my atten-
tion while I believe they are
of interest for our own per-
sonnel safety and that of our
property.
When leaving for vaca-
tion and amongst the confu-
sion of attempting to do so,
make certain the bathroom
vent, if present, is shut off.
We have had three recent
fires where these vents were
left running for days while
the building was left unoc-
cupied.
In the first instance, a
granddaughter was using an
unoccupied apartment and
she left it for a number of
days. When she left the unit,
she never shut off the bath-
room vent. The vent eventu-
ally overheated while mol-
ten plastic dripped upon
towels and hamper below.
These in turn ignited while
in this instance a sprinkler
head extinguished the re-
sulting fire.
In another, the tenant had
vacated a residential build-
ing that had been rented for
years. Here again, the vent
was inadvertently left on
as well. Days later, the vent
overheated extending fire to
the combustible construc-
tion. The subsequent attic
fire caused considerable
damage.
Fortunately in the third
instance an occupant de-tect-
ed the odor of an over-heat-
ed vent and the occu-pant
extinguished the result-ing
fire with a fire extin-guish-
er. The fire department was
called to confirm in fact that
there had been no fiir-ther
fire extension.
Coincidentally, as I am
writing this article in my
office, another inspector is
discussing another incident
involving an overheated
vent. Again, in this instance,
the building was vacated.
The good news being, the
fire alarm system was acti-
vated by smoke and the fire
department responded re-
moving the hazard.
Lastly, we have wit-
nessed recent instances
where sidewall vents, also
known as power vents are
being occluded with bird's
nests. Sidewall vents are
frequently used when chim-
neys are not present in or
on a building. They are
typi-cally seen used with
gas-fired appliances venting
combustion gases to the out-
side. This state's 'Ni-cole's
Law' was created when one
of these vents was blocked
with snow and the combus-
tion gases backed up into a
house killing a young girl.
In these recent instances,
the bird's nests will block
carbon monoxide and other
combustion gases from es-
caping to the outdoors re-
sulting in the same hazard.
Fortunately, a neighbor con-
tacted us about this current
problem, and we in turn
contacted the homeowners
informing them of the issue.
The birds have since
been evicted and have now
moved on, while the vents
once again can function
properly.
Thank you and be safe.

Five Ways To Save Money While Improving Home Energy Efficiency
(ARA) - The warning
letters have already started
filling mailboxes across the
country. This winter, Ameri-
cans will face higher util-
ity bills than ever before.
While many will see their
bills double, some costs will
actually triple due to factors
such as increased gas and
oil prices and greater global
demand.
While these factors are
beyond your control, there
are some steps you can take
to improve your home's en-
ergy efficiency; and reduce
your costs.
1. Improve your home's
air quality and ventilation.
If your home does not
have a ventilation system
that provides for adequate
air movement, add one that
introduces fresh air to in-
crease your comfort and
adds to your energy effi-
ciency.
Without adequate venti-
lation, your home's heating
and cooling systems need to
work harder, meaning more
energy and more money is
required. Furthermore, un-
circulated, stale air allows
moisture, odors and pollut-
ants to linger in your home.
However, there is a solu-
tion.
You can eliminate all
these problems effectively
with the addition of a spot

Energy Recovery Ventilator
(ERV) which will provide
tempered supply air, making
the home more comfortable,
while also efficiently yield-
ing energy savings. The
Panasonic WhisperComfort
Spot ERV is the first ceil-
ing insert ERV in the United
States. It exhausts stale air
from inside the home and re-
places it with fresh air from
outdoors, providing builders
and homeowners with an af-
fordable way to efficiently
meet spot or whole house
ventilation requirements.
WhisperComfort opera-
tion is designed to work two
ways: "Spot Ventilation,"
which is suitable for a sin-
gle room; or "Whole House
Ventilation," which is suit-
able up to 1,750 square
feet. The system features
low-rate continuous run us-
ing two ducts - one to ex-
haust stale air; and the other
to supply fresh air from the
outside. This practice helps
ensure that indoor air pollut-
ants are exhausted outside
and replaced with fresh air
— helping to improve your
home's indoor air quality.
In addition, the Whisper-
Comfort features quiet oper-
ation and has a frost preven-
tion mode that automatically
turns on when the outdoor
temperature drops below 32
degrees Fahrenheit.
"We are dedicated to
improving quality of life
through sound environmen-
tal practices, and Whis-
perComfort offers spot or
whole-house ventilation at
a surprisingly low cost. In
addition to the aesthetically
pleasing grille design, this
new ceiling-insert ERV can
be easily installed during
new construction or remod-
eling," says Dan Hogan,
president, Panasonic Home
and Environment Company.
For more information

Panasonic WhisperComfort
ERV,, visit www.panasonic.
com/ventfans.
2. Check the insulation
levels in your attic, exterior
and basement walls, ceil-
ings, floors and crawl spac-
es. Visit www.energysav-
ers.gov for instructions on
checking your insulation
levels.
3. Check for holes or
cracks around your walls,
ceilings, windows, doors,
light and plumbing fixtures,
switches and electrical out-
lets that can leak air into or
out of your home. Caulk and
insulate these energy wast-
ing areas.
4. As appliances break
down, replace old and inef-
ficient models with ENER-
GY STAR rated units that
require less energy to run.
Also look for the ENERGY
STAR rating when replac-
ing heating and cooling sys-
tems.
5. Study your family's
lighting needs and usage
patterns, paying special at-
tention to high-use areas
such as the living room,
kitchen and outside light-
ing. Look for ways to use
lighting controls, like occu-
pancy sensors and dimmer
switches to reduce lighting
energy use. Also remember
to systematically replace
incandescent bulbs as they
bum out with more energy
efficient compact fluores-
cents and LEDs.

" A Job Well Done '
On Monday, September 1 , 2008, at approximately 1 1
p.m.. Officers David Parisi, Jamie Green, John Mclsaac.
Ed Bagley and M.J. O'Brien
were dispatched to the area
of Waterston Avenue and
Green Street for a disorder
in the street with a person on
the ground.
Upon arri val , Officer Pari si
observed a male party stand-
ing in the middle of Green
Street with what appeared to
be white paint sprayed
across his face. There were
also three young females
huddled over by two men.
The officers interviewed all the individuals involved and
received differing accounts from the white-faced male
and the females, who were 19. 17 and 15 years old.
According to the females, they were just walking
in the middle of Waterston Avenue w hen a male who had
been sitting on the front stairs of a building approached
them. The male appeared angry and started yelling at
them, "Get the ^ ^&$ out of here." The male then charged
at them, throwing one of the females into some bushes
and then to the ground. The other girls attempted to in-
tervene and protect their friend, but the> too were shoved.
One of the girls spotted a can of spray paint in a trash can
at the curb, so she grabbed it and sprayed the suspect's
face white.
The suspect stopped when he was spra>ed and the
females fled down the street. Once the suspect cleared
his eyes, he gave chase down Waterston Avenue and
onto Green Street The three females saw a house
with lights on and several men going in and out, so they
ran to them and asked them for help. The suspect stopped
in the street when he saw the two men.
Officer Parisi then spoke with the suspect, who agreed
that he was sitting on the front stairs of an apart-
ment building when he observed the three girls walking
down the street. He stated that he had seen them around
before and believed that they were responsible for rocks
being thrown at his building.
When questioned as to the basis of his knowledge, the
suspect admitted that he did not have any substantial evi-
dence to support his claims. The suspect said that he was
sprayed with paint just after confronting the girls, but de-
nied pushing them. He said he chased after the girls, who
ran up to two men working on a house, but did nothing to
them other than wait for the Police to arrive.
Officer Parisi then interviewed the two men, who
were plumbing contractors preparing for the next days
work. They said that they observed three girls running up
Green Street being chased by a single male. The girls ran
to them and stated they needed help. The men said that
they feared for their safety and the girls, so they stopped
what they were doing and instructed the suspect to stay
where he was. The suspect said he refused to leave un-
til the police arrived. Further investigation by Officer Pa-
risi and other officers revealed that the suspect and the
girls knew each other.
The girls admitted the suspect frequently purchases
alcohol for them and their friends and had done so ear-
lier in the night. The girls believed that the suspect pur-
chased the alcohol from a liquor store in Wollaston. The
girls were able to describe the color of the suspect's couch
(orange) inside his residence. The officers then asked the
suspect what color his couch was and he confirmed that it
was orange. The girls told Officer Parisi that the suspect
buys for neighborhood minors and has been doing this for
some time. Based on the statements from the victims, the
witnesses and the inconsistent information from the sus-
pect, the 34-year-old Quincy resident was charged with
"Assault and Battery, Disturbing the Peace and Disorder-
ly Conduct". The information about purchasing alcohol
for minors was forwarded to the Special Investigations
Unit and the Community Police Officer for follow-up.

Boning Up On Bone Health
byAndrMiWyatt
MaSaSa} CaSaCaS*
Working Out
With Mom
a»I enjoy working out
• four to five days a
at a local Rtness center.
Recently, my 80-year-old
mother came to live with my
family and me, and I would
like for her to join me to
exercise. She has never exer-
cised in a formal g>m setting
before, and I am not •iure
where to start Is she too old
to begin to exercise, and
where should I start?
A .Exercise is truly for
• every age. The type of
exercise and the intensity
can be modified to fit any
age or fitness level. Finding
the right exercise for your
mother can allow her to join
you working out.
First, speak with a physi-
cian and discuss starting of
an exercise program. It is
important to know the prop-
er exercises and workout
intensities to adhere to with
your mother to lower her
risk of injury. A beginner
should always speak with a
physician before starling an
exercise program.
Acquainting new members
to the fitness facility is an
important step. Remember,
your mother has not been in
this environment before and
will need to learn and feel
comfortable with the layout,
what is offered and what to
do once there. It can be easy
to forget how intimidating
starting something new can
be, and for someone who has
never experienced this type
of setting it can be quite con-
fusing.
Many fitness centers use
high-lech equipment —
even to gain entry into the
facility. Be sure your molher
feels confident and that she
truly belongs as a member of
your club. Be patient and
personally introduce gym's
siaff to your mother and
explain her situation.
Inform ihc staff of your
mother's new adventure and
ask what programs they have
available for her. Many facil-
ities have classes for senior
members, and noi only is the
programming appropriate, it
also surrounds them with
other members in a similar
situation.
If your facility does noi
offer senior classes, and
even if il does, 1 would sug-
gest meeting with a fitness
professional to properly
introduce your mother to the
exercise equipment and
options for exercise for her
individual situation. You
may opt to hire a personal
u-ainer for a period of lime to
help your mother safely
begin to exercise.
Lastly, your mother may
not be able to exercise four to
five days a week initially;
however, you can fmd olher
programs that may be of
interest. Many facilities offer
classes in the pool or other
social-related activities. This
can be a great way for your
mother to meet other mem-
bers and feel confident and
comfortable in this area.
Sharing the exercise expe-
rience with your mother is a
great gift and something that
you can both do together.
Although you may not com-
plete ihe same exercises,
you can both share the bene-
fits exercising provides.
Always consult a physician
before beginning an exercise
program.

TWO MINUTES OF YOUR TIME
If the milky buildup of bac-
teria laden-plaque is not re-
moved from the teeth each
day with brushing, it produc-
es toxins that cause bloody
gums and bad breath. In time,
the bacteria in plaque will pull
the gums away from the teeth
to form pockets that fill with
more plaque to cause trouble
ever nearer the bone. The
good news is that it only takes
a minimum of two minutes of
brushing to clean teeth prop-
erly. Yet, studies show that
the typical American brushes
for 37 seconds. This inad-
equate brushing time results
in teeth that still have some
plaque left on them. A daily
minimum two-minute brush is
all it takes to keep it at bay.
We believe that the most
important part of tooth care
happens at home. Brushing
and flossing properly, along
with regular dental checkups,
can help prevent tooth decay
and gum disease. We invite
you to call us at 617-479-
6220 for an appointment.
We're located at 44 Green-
leaf Street, where we're
currently accepting new pa-
tients. We provide cosmetic,
functional, and preventive
dental care for all ages. You
can rely on us to answer all
your questions about dental
treatments and procedures.
We offer the services of anes-
thesiology with a fully trained

gist. Visit us on the web at

ficient use of your time, try

(ARA) - Each back-to-
school season, parents arm
children with tools neces-
sary to build a lifetime of
knowledge. But children
need to develop more than
their minds to lead a long
and healthy life - they need
to develop strong bones,
too.
This year, parents can
send kids back to school with
the tools necessary to build
strong minds and strong
bones by following a hand-
ful of useful nutrition strate-
gies. Ninety percent of girls
and 75 percent of boys ages
9 to 13 donot get the 1300
milligrams of daily calcium
recommended, according to
the National Osteoporosis
Foundation. What's more,
the majority of parents (60
percent) aren't sure how
much calcium their kids
get each day, according to
a 2007 survey by indepen-
dent research firm Opinion
Research Corporation More
than 30 percent of surveyed
parents mistakenly believed
their children needed less
than half of the daily recom-
mended amount.
Parents have an opportu-
nity to become better edu-
cated about bone health in
order to effectively increase
their kids' bone mass. Bring-
ing bone-healthy foods into
the home is one simple step
parents can take to help their
kids build and maintain
strong bones.
Bone-healthy foods in-
clude foods rich in calcium,
along with those enhanced
with prebiotics - non-digest-
ible, soluble fiber that can
significantly boost calcium
absorption by encourag-
ing the growth of beneficial
bacteria in the body. By
choosing to bring foods into
the home that are both rich
in calcium and enhanced
with prebiotics, parents can
ensure their kids are on the
road to a lifetime of healthy
bones.
"Back-to-school season
presents an opportune time
for parents to help their
kids build strong bones by
providing them with bone-
healthy breakfasts and
packed lunches," says Coni
Francis, Ph.D., a registered
dietitian with GTC Nutri-
tion.
There are an increasing
number of kid-friendly, bet-
ter-for-your-bones foods for
parents to choose from, such
as Barbara's Bakery line of
Organic Wild Puffs cereals.
Barbara's Bakery recently
re-launched their tasty ce-
reals with the added health
benefits of NutraFlora, a
natural prebiotic fiber. Nu-
traFlora is one of the most
effective prebiotics avail-
able, and is rapidly gaining
awareness among parents
and consumers for its abil-
ity to significantly improve
calcium absorption.
In addition to serving
bone-healthy foods, par-
ents can help kids build
and maintain healthy bones
by encouraging them to
exercise. Bones, just like
muscles, become stronger
through regular athletic ac-
tivity. Most schools have a
wide variety of organized
athletics for kids, making
back-to-school a perfect
time for kids to start a new
exercise routine.

healthy bones visit www.

Active Baby
Boomers More
Injury-Prone
Baby boomers are aging,
but they aren't slowing
down. The generation con-
tinues to stay active, work-
ing out regularly and taking
up sports like tennis and
golf.
Although these activities
improve the health of baby
boomers, it al.so incTeases
their risk of exercise-related
injuries. In fact, such injuries
rose 3.3 percent for this gener-
ation over a .seven-year peri-
od, according to the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety
Commission. In 2007 alone.
149,000 baby boomere were
treated for exercise-related
injurie.s.
According to Dr. James
Keency, an orthopedic sur-
geon and member of the
American Academy of
Orthopedic Surgeons, a 50-
year-old is more susceptible
to injury than a 20-year-old.
"Joints, tissues and mus-
cles may not be as flexible a.s
they used to be," he said. "So
as you get older, you need lo
take extra .steps to protect
yourself from injuries when
you exercise."
Instead of avoiding exer-
cise altogether, baby
boomers should take the
some precautions to reduce
their risk of injury during
exercise.
First, warm up and stretch
before you exercise. Just
three to five minutes of
warming up can prepare
your muscles for a more
strenuous workout.
Create a balanced fitness
program, one that combines
cardio, strength training and
flexibility, to give you a total
body workout.
Once you've created such
a program, adhere to it
throughout the week.
Remember, moderate exer-
cise every day is better than
strenuous exercise on the
weekends, which can
increa.se your risk of injury.
Finally, listen to your body.
Your body might not be able
to do everything that it used
to, so modify your workout
acccHding to your body's
capability.
Maintaining an exercise
routine as you age can help
you avoid weight gain and
reduce your ri.sk of high
blood pressure, depression
and odier health problems.
So, listen to your body, and
find a routine that is right for
you.

flowers first thing in the
morning reported feeling
cheerier and even more en-
ergetic throughout the day.
Amy Brightfield, Health Di-
rector, Woman's Day maga-
zine says, "Combining the
power of scent and colors
that both relax and rejuve-
nate, flowers and plants are
a fast and affordable pick-
me-up this summer."
Beyond their physi-
cal beauty, flowers possess
distinct sensory qualities
that can boost energy, tame
tension and brighten your
mood. Essential oils derived
from plants and flowers have
been proven to increase oxy-
gen flow to the brain, stimu-
lating positive feelings that
can balance energy levels or
have a calming effect. These
essential oils are often used
in aromatherapy treatments
to both soothe and stimulate
the senses.
Here are some tips for
choosing floral varieties and
natural fragrances proven to
help you de-stress and re-
charge.
Relaxation
and Tranquility
Which flowers can help
you relax and stay calm?
By pairing floral scents with
their rich natural colors, a
number of floral varieties
like lavender and lilacs can
act as a relaxant and alleviate
stress. Considered a natural
remedy for a range of ail-
ments, lavender's scent and
lush color can prompt your
body to produce a calming
compound, improving sleep
and promoting relaxation.
Lilac is another stress-
relieving scent. This flower
is found to have a calming
effect, which can promote
a feeling of well-being and
also increase relaxation.
Bring color and tranquil-
ity to your life with these
additional flowers:
* Relax with Bells of Ire-
land: Green, a calming col-
or, can help you relax and
breathe slowly and more
deeply, all of which can
help slow the production of
stress hormones according
to the Society of American
Florists.
*Get a good night's
sleep with delphiniums: The
blue hue of this flower re-
laxes and naturally creates
a soothing atmosphere that
can help your body to wind
down after a long day.
Awaken and Rejuvenate
For a floral pick-me-up,
classic red roses, sunflowers
and orange daisies awaken
the senses and increase en-
ergy through their vibrant
colors and potent aromas.
*lncrease energy with red
roses: Because the color red
is energizing and we often
associate the bright bloom
with feelings of love, roses
can work to boost mood and
enhance energy levels.
*Enhance alertness with
sunflowers: Bright and
cheerful, the yellow hue of
sunflowers enhances alert-
ness by making those around
them feel clear-headed and
decisive. Since people gen-
erally associate yellow with
the sun's rays and daylight,
it's said to help people feel
more optimistic.
*Convey confidence with
orange daisies: The vibrant
color of orange can convey
confidence, show satisfac-
tion and a passion for life.

Next Game Friday At Canton
Presidents Comeback
Falls Shy Againt Cohasset
By SEAN BRENNAN
A gallant Quincy Presi-
dents' comeback went for
naught last Friday night at
Veterans Memorial Stadium
as Cohasset High School
defeated Quincy 28-27 in
overtime in the season open-
er for both teams.
The non-league opener
for QHS and the first game
on the sidelines for new
head ball coach. Bill Rear-
don, went to extra time after
the Presidents rallied back
from a 20-12 halftime defi-
cit with a long scoring drive
in the second half. But the
excitement ended within
minutes of the overtime ses-
sion beginning.
In high school football,
both teams receive the ball
on their opponent's 10-yard
line with four downs to play
with. Against Cohasset, the
Presidents took the ball first
and immediately scored on
a 10-yard touchdown run
by junior running back Ed
Jolicoeur. The point after
attempt was successful and
Quincy grabbed its first lead
of the game at 27-20.
But the Clippers re-
sponded in kind. Running
back Dana Valentine scored
his own 10-yard touch-
down, putting the score at
27-26. Playing on the road,
the Cohasset coaching staff
decided to go for the win,
eschewing the PAT and go-
ing for the two-point con-
version.
The calculated gamble
paid off as quarterback Jeff
Cavanaro completed a pass
in the back of the end zone
to receiver Brendan Doonan.
The successful two-point
conversion ended the game
and saddled Reardon and his
Presidents with a tough-to-
swallow 28-27 loss.
The game began omi-
nously for Quincy when
Cohasset scored on its third
offensive play of the game.
The early blow was a 62-
yard touchdown run that
gave the Qippers a 7-0
lead.
But the Presidents re-
sponded with gusto. Junior
quarterback Lance Peter-
son helped to lead Quincy

Change is the common
theme this season for the
Quincy Presidents.
Instead of fans seeing
veteran coach Bob Noble
roaming the sidelines this
fall, a new field general
will be there in his place.
Bill Reardon, a member
of the QHS coaching staff
since 1995 and Noble's
trusted defensive coordina-
tor since 1999, began his
own legacy last Friday night
in his team's season-open-
er against Cohasset High
School (see story).
The coaching change is
just one of the major differ-
ences in 2008; another is that
the Presidents, along with
the North Quincy Red Raid-
ers, have changed leagues,
moving from the Adantic
Coast League to the Patriot
League.
Quincy joins thel2-team
Patriot League-a move that
helps to alleviate the long
bus rides to distant places on
Cape Cod such as Deiuiis-
Yarmouth, Falmouth and
Nauset. But with the change
in leagues, the Presidents
have entered a powerhouse
conference that takes its
football very seriously.
Quincy has been placed
in the Keenan Division-
the Patriot League is bro-
ken into the Keenan and
Fisher Divisions-and will
have to cope with playing
teams irom Duxbury (9-2
last year), Hingham (11-2),
Scituate (2-9), Silver Lake
(6-5) and Whitman-Hanson
(2-9). Not an easy task, but
one Reardon hopes his team
is ready for.
"I think the best part of
changing from the Atlantic
Coast League to the Pa-
triot League is that we are
looking forward to not go-
ing over the bridge," said
Reardon. "The kids are also
looking forward to playing
teams from towns that are
close to Quincy. The games
will hopefully mean more
because some of these teams
and players may be familiar
to our players.
"But it is going to be a
challenge. Teams like Dux-
bury, Hingham and Silver
Lake should be the top teams
in the Keenan Division, but
we will be very competitive.
It is a tough league, but if we
play like 1 know we can than
we should be alright."
The Presidents, who will
be looking to improve on
their 3-7 record in 2001, re-
turn nine starters from last
year's team including junior
quarterback Lance Peterson,
junior wide receiver An-
thony Raddatz, senior tight
end Sean Gray, senor wide-
out Mark Gilbody, senior
linebacker Zack Manning,
senior defensive lineman EJ
Louis and senior defensive
backs Pat Fernandez, Bryan
McGee and Kenny Nguyen.
With the return of Peter-
son and his top receiving
targets Raddatz, Gilbody
and Gray, the offense is go-
ing to need to rely on an in-
experienced offensive line
to help carry the load and
keep Peterson off his back.
Plus, the offense is undergo-
ing a change itself; no lon-
ger will the Presidents use
the shotgun/spread forma-
tion used by Noble the last
few seasons, but instead will
be going back to a more tra-
ditional offense centered on
ball control and clock man-
agement. Reardon, a long-
time defensive coach, will
be handling the offensive
play calls this season.
On defense, assistant
coach Kevin Clarey will call
the plays. This year, unlike
season's past, Quincy will
play in a 3-4 alignment (three
defensive lineman and four
linebackers)-a move away
from the 5-2 alignment they
used in 2(X)7-mainly be-
cause of the talent and speed
of this year's linebacking
core.
Gray and junior James
Nguyen will start at outside
linebacker and Manning and
fellow senior Stefon Davis
will play on the inside.
Nose tackle Aldo Vil-
lena, along with Louis, are
the stalwarts on the defen-
sive line and in the defen-
sive backfield Raddatz and
Fernandez help to form the
Presidents' last line of de-
fense.
Last season Quincy fin-
ished strong with its ninth
straight Thanksgiving Day
victory over North Quincy
(a 28-7 win), but the sea-
son as a whole was not that
great. A 28-7 non-league
loss to Canton HS was fol-
lowed by an 18-6 win over
Falmouth HS, but this win
was followed by four con-
secutive defeats at the hands
of Plymouth North (21-7),
Whitman-Hanson ( 1 4-0) ,
Marshfield (24-6) and Den-
nis-Yarmouth (3 1 -7) .
The Presidents got back
into the win column with a
week seven 35-21 victory
over Nauset, but dropped
back-to-back games against
Plymouth South (27-0) and
Sandwich (29-7). The 28-7
win over North (Quincy not
only made Coach Noble a
winner in his final game, but
also gave Reardon and his
staff some needed motiva-
tion heading into 2008.
"I expect the same type
of preparation from my
team this year as they gave
Coach Noble last year," said
Reardon. "They understand
that they have to give their
all; at every practice and
game. We have been 3-7 for
the past two years and that
is not good enough. We will
never be out-workec' if we
do what has been set out
which is: working as hard as
'possible at all times."

Red Raiders Kick Off Season Friday Vs. Scituate
At Veterans Memorial Stadium, 7 PM
By SEAN BRENNAN
A new football season
means new beginnings and
a clean slate for the North
Quincy Red Raiders.
Coming off a 6-5 sea-
son in 2008, North Quincy
will open a new chapter in
Red Raider football history
when the season kicks off
this Friday night (7 p.m.)
at Veterans Memorial Sta-
dium against Scituate High
School .
After playing in the At-
lantic Coast League last
year, the Red Raiders, and
their city counterpart Quincy
High School, will be play-
ing in the ultra-competitive
Patriot League.
The 12-team Patriot
League is broken into two
divisions, the Keenan and
the Fisher Divisions, and
the Raiders will be play-
ing in the Fisher Division
along with Hanover (5-6 in
2007), Middleboro (4-7),
Pembroke (1-10), Randolph
(1-10) and Rockland (7-4)
High Schools.
This change in leagues
means that North Quincy
will have less road to travel
for away games-no more
three-hour trips to the Cape-
but it also means that the
Raiders are about to face
new competition and will
need to overcome new ob-
stacles.
"The thing we are look-
ing forward to is not having
to make those long trips,"
said head coach Jim Coimor.
"Those games take a lot out
of the kids. But the Patriot
League is a good football
league. We get to re-estab-
lish North Quincy football,
start with a clean slate, and
hopefully we have a good
year.
"But if we are not pre-
pared for every game we are
going to be in trouble. But if
we are, and I expect us to be
for each game, we will see
where the chips fall ."
These Raiders should not
be lacking confidence. The
team's 6-5 record in 2008
wrapped up its first winning
season in more than a de-
cade and showed a consider-
ably improvement in Season
Two of the Jim Cormor-era.
During Connor's first season
on the sidelines in 2007, the
Raiders finished a 1-10, but

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) With your Arian charm
quotient at an almost all-time
high this week, plus all the
facts to back you up, you just
might win over the last
doubters to your proposal.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) You might be in line for
that job change you applied
for. But be advised that you
could be called on to defend
your qualifications against
supporters of other appli-
cants.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Creating a new approach
to an old idea is one way to
get beyond that workplace
impasse. No such problems
in your personal life, where
things continue lo flow
smoothly.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Be more fcMthcoming
about your feelings concern-
ing a proposed change either
in your workplace or in your
personal life. Your opinions
are valuable. Don't keep
them hidden.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
A changing situation in your
life needs more patience than
you appear to be willing to
offer. Allowing it to develop
at its own pace is the wisest
course you can take at this
time.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) With more stabili-
ty in your life — cm both per-
sonal and professional levels
— this could be a good time
to strengtlien relationships
with both friends and col-
leagues.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) People have
always relied on your integri-
ty not only to get tlie job
done, but to get it done right.
So don't be pressured by any-
one into cutting conners to
save time.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) While others
might get rattled over unex-
pected changes, your ability
to adapt calmly wnd compe-
tently helps you make a posi-
tive impression during a cru-
cial period.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 lo December 21) A
changing environment might
be daunting for some, but the
adventurous Sagittarian
takes it all in stride. A friend
from the past could awaken
some meaningful memories.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) With your
self-assurance rising to full
strength, the bold Goat
should feel confident about
opening up to new ventures
as well as new relationships.
AQUARIUS (January 20 lo
February 18) Reaching out to
someone who has been
unkind lo you might not be
easy. But in the long run it
will prove to have been the
right thing to do. A friend
offers moral support.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Your keen insight
once again helps you work
through a seemingly insolu-
ble problem in your work-
place. The weekend offers a
good chance to develop new
relationships.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
have a knack for fmding
details that others would
overlook. You would make a
fine research scientist.

Are you a music lover? Do you
enjoy concerts? If so, have you
noticed that the man who plays the
cymbals may not appear to have a
very important part in an orchestra,
but a symphony without the discor-
dant clang of the cymbal somewhere
in it would lack much of the majesty
it was intended to have?
Have you ever noticed how cymbal players sit mo-
tionless throughout a number until nearly the end? . .
. Then, as all the instruments are swelling into a grand
crescendo, the cymbalist rises, poises his cymbals, and
just at the right moment crashes them together and
sends a peal of brass across the mounting harmonies
of the orchestra. The cymbal does not make a tone; it
creates a loud dissonance, but it thereby makes all the
other harmonies significant.
And such is the function of disharmonies in life.They
make the harmonies more significant. Pain, disappoint-
ment, hurts, and loss - the clash of cymbals in our lives
- makes us remember and appreciate the times when
our lives were more harmonious. . .

Quincy Credit Union
Donates Backpacks
To School Students
As part of an ongoing
commitment to the commu-
nity, Quincy Credit Union
recently partnered with
Quincy Public Schools and
local businesses to provide
over 400 backpacks filled
first day of school at Point
Webster Middle and Clif-
ford Marshall Elementary
Schools to distribute the
bags to students.
Quincy Credit Union
is located at 100 Quincy
with many necessary school Ave., Quincy and currently
supplies, including pencil serves over 23,000 Mem-
cases, pencils, pens, note-
books, folders and rulers.
QCU employees volun-
teered their time to stuff the
backpacks with the supplies
and were on hand on the
bers. Credit Union Mem-
bership is available to those
who live or work in Norfolk
and Plymouth Counties,
Dorchester and any family
Member.
THIRD GRADE STUDENTS at the Clifford Marshall El-
ementary School recently received backpacks from Quincy
Credit Union. With the students are school Principal Philip
Connolly, and QCU Marketing Representatives Susan Burke,
Maura Gilmartin and Judy Brazil.

West Campus, art classes
into Coddington Hall, for-
merly used by Quincy Col-
lege, and the carpenter's
shop into Broad Meadows
Middle School temporarily
while the Technical Training
Center is being torn down.
The new Science/Math
Academy will also include
such old standbys as the
Three Seasons Restaurant
and the greenhouse as well
as multiple computer labs,
computerized blackboards,
a 150-seat lecture hall and
large screen projection in
each classroom.
But to Frank Santoro, the
February opening is more
than just another new build-
ing of brick and stone.
"Our excitement goes
beyond the new state of the
art building," he said on his
message. "What is most ex-
citing will be the interdisci-
plinary approach to learn-
ing.
"Subjects associated
with Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathemat-
ics will be taught in a way
that exposes our students
to the connections between
subjects and meaningful,
relevant experiences.
"Incorporating this edu-
cational philosophy with
modem technology will
make Quincy High School
'the beacon' in educational
practices that others will
follow."
Cont'd From Page 2
er.
Lenny Biondi, owner of
the company and property,
leased the billboard site
to the New York advertis-
ing firm for 25 years. In the
past, Biondi pointed out that
he has donated thousands of
dollars from the billboard
receipts to the city's school
and athletic funds.
Biondi, also, provided
for the city to use the bill-
board space for municipal
announcements. However
the city council voted unani-
mously to decline the gift.
The billboard stands in
Ward 4 represented by City
Council president Jay Davis
who has been criticized for
his actions. Critics allege
that Davis did not opposing
the structure sufficiently and
did not alert residents to the
size of the billboard.
In a letter dated Sept. 2,
Davis notified residents of
Tuesday's meeting. He cau-
tioned his constituents not to
expect any major or binding
decision from the ZBA.
"After speaking with the
City Solicitor regarding this
matter, it is more than likely
that no matter what the de-
cision of the Zoning Board
on September 9'\ the issue
will ultimately be decided
in Norfolk Superior Court
of the Massachusetts Land
Court."

CUSTOM INSERTS FOR ATHLETES' SHOES
Orthotics for athletes' shoes
are devices that can be placed
in shoes to help with foot pain,
posture, or a variety of medi-
cal conditions. Orthotics can
be custom-made inner^les or
more complex inserts. Types
of sports and specific models
of shoes need special con-
sideration as they can make
a major impact on the orthot-
ics prescribed. Contours of
arches of shoes can vary, as
can heals, rims, and sdes. If
spikes or deats are used, then
the ortfTotrcs can often fit under
the innersoles. Ottier shoes
types don't alk}w for this, so
the thrckness of each orthotic
has to be taken into conskj-
eratkDH. Podiatrists can help
prescribe the best type of or-
thotics for a patient's condition.
We use today's high-tech
diagnostrc tools to fit orthot-
k:s, to detect foot imbalarKes,
problems, and disorders, and
to help determine the most ap-
propriate treatment with more
accuracy than ever possible
before. We also use the most
up-to-date materials for orthot-
ics and other treatment modali-
ties, always with the comfort of
our patients in mind. Find out
the many ways available today
to keep your feet in the best
of shape. Call us at 781-986-
3668 for comprehensive, fam-
ily foot care at QUINCY MEDI-
CAL CEf^ER. Offk^e hours
are also available at 999 North
Main St., in the Randolph Med-
ial Office BuiWing, and Milton
Medk:al BuiMing in Suite 221 . 1
am affiliated with the Brockton
and Good Samaritan Hospitals.
P.S. Participating in sports
can be made considerably
more comfortabie for athletes
when orthotics are placed in
ttw sports shoes.

Drug Task Force Plans
Citywide Symposium Oct. 16
The Quincy Drug Task
Force will hold a citywide
symposium featuring state
and local experts and a na-
tionally renowned speaker
Oct. 16 at 6 p.m. at Broad
Meadows Middle School .
"Public awareness is a
critical piece of our strategy
to stem the drug problem
in our city, and 1 believe
this program will provide
a great opportunity for the
entire community to come
to-gether and begin ask-
ing questions and thinking
about ways we can fight
this epidemic," said Mayor
Thomas Koch, who created
the task force after taking
office in January.
The program will feature
a presentation by the Mas-
sachusetts Department of
Public Health on drug abuse
statistics in Quincy and the
surrounding area to show
the gravity of the issue in
the city.
The presentation will be
followed by a talk by Gin-
ger Katz, whose son died of
a drug overdose in the af-
termath of the tragedy. She
travels the nation presenting
a message to parents that
the stakes are too high to al-
low drug abuse problems to
be ignored. There will be a
question-and-answer ses-
sion at the end of the meet-
ing. Refreshments will be
served.
The symposium comes
as the 30-member Quincy
Drug Task Force works on a
series of recommendations
it plans to submit to Mayor
Koch in coming months.
The group is a collaboration
of elected leaders, law en-
forcement officials, educa-
tors, addiction specialists,
human service agencies and
residents.
Since January, the city has
enlisted its first-ever team of
drug-sniffing dogs at the Po-
lice Department, conducted
drug sweeps at city schools
for the first time in years, in-
creased anti-drug education
in the city's high schools,
and con-tinues planning for
a series of additional steps
based on the recommenda-
tions of the task force.
"The Task Force has
worked incredibly hard over
the last several months, and
1 look forward to their rec-
ommendafions," Koch said.
"This is not a problem that
is going to be solved over-
night, but this group has
already shown that it is a
battle worth fighting."
Senator John Kerry
turned back his first Demo-
cratic challenger in 24 years
in the state primary Tuesday
but his margin in Quincy
was smaller than state-wide.
Kerry took 58.17 per-
cent of the Quincy vote to
Edward J. O'Reilly's 41.71
percent.
Statewide Kerry had a
strong upperhand, 67.1 per-
cent to 33.1 percent.
Kerry's Quincy vote was
3,811 to O'Reilly's 2,733 -
a 1,178-vote difference.
With only two Democrat
contests and no Republi-
can, only 13.36 percent of
Quincy 's 53,957 registered
voters bothered to pick up a
ballot.
With one third of the pre-
cincts reporting in the Gov-
ernor's Councillor 4th Dis-
trict at the Sun's press-time.
Councillor Christopher A.
lannella was projected the
winner.
In Quincy, lannella
breezed by his two Demo-
cratic challengers, Stephen
F. Flynn of Hull and Robert
L. Toomey of Abington.
lannella 's vote here was
3,001 (53.8 percent) to Fly-
nn's 1,630 (29.22 percent)
and Toomey 's 919 (16.48
SEN. JOHN KERRY
percent).
O'Reilly, a Springfield
lawyer, was Kerry's first
Democratic challenger
since he was first elected in
1984. His only major oppo-
nent since was Gov. William
Weld, a Republican.
Kerry and lannella were
the only two Democrats in
primary contests Tuesday.
There were only two can-
didates on the Republication
ballot, both without opposi-
tion.
Running unopposed
were Democrat incumbents:
Congressman William
Delahunt, state Senator Mi-
chael Morrissey, state Reps.
Bruce Ayers, Stephen Tobin
and Ronald Mariano, all
from Quincy.
Also without chal-
lengers county-wide were
Democrats Register of Pro-
bate Patrick .McDermott of
Quincy, Treasurer Joseph
A. Connolly of Weymouth
and County Commissioners
John M. Gillis of Quincy
and Francis O'Brien of Ded-
ham.
The only two candidates
on the Republican ballot
were Jeffrey K. Beatty of
Harwich for U.S. Senator
and Thomas E. Gorman of
Dedham for Norfolk County
commissioner.
Beatty will face Kerry in
the Nov. 4 Presidential elec-
tion and Gorman will chal-
lenge OBnen. Only one
from the same community
can serve as commissioner.
There were no Repub-
lican candidates for gov-
ernor's councillor, state
senator, state representa-
tive, register of probate and
county treasurer.

unopposed Democrat in-
cumbents:

Minor QHS Fire Under Investigation
Fire officials are investi-
gating a minor fire Sept. 10
in a lavatory at Quincy High

evacuation of the student
body.
The fire in the boys*

student smoking. In either
case, the student faces stiff
penalties.

Community Welcomes Manet's
New CEO Henry T\ittle
State and city officials
this week joined leaders of
the medical community in
welcoming Henry Tuttle to
the head post at Manet Com-
munity Health Center.
"He's done nothing less
than hit the ground run-
ning," Alicia Gardner, Vice
President of Manet's Board
of Directors, said Monday
during a reception introduc-
ing Tuttle to city and state
leaders.
Among those on hand to
welcome Tuttle were Sen.
Michael Morrissey, Mayor
Thomas Koch, Ellen Zane,
President and CEO of Tufts
Medical Center and former
Director of Quincy Medi-
cal Center, Health Commis-
sioner Drew Scheele, and
John Brothers, Executive
Director, Quincy Asian Re-
sources Inc. and a member
of the Board of Directors.
Gardner described Tut-
tle's success at his last posi-
tion as chief executive of-
ficer of Outer Cape Health
Services, Inc. where he
instituted a successful turn-
around plan.
Tuttle left the Cape orga-
nization with a "very high
patient satisfaction" level
of 90 percent and on "finan-
cially sound" ground, Gard-
ner said.
In the past, Tuttle held
management positions with
private and public compa-
nies and agencies, including
the Red Cross, major hos-
pitals and Pacific Gas and
Electric Co.
"I've been bitten by the
primary care bug, really by
the mission," Tuttle said of
his decision to work in the
community health field.
Tutde cited Manet's new
efforts in pediatric and pre-
natal care, goals for a resi-
dency program, new elec-
tronic record keeping and,
even agency headquarters
where a new roof has been
installed.
"We are increasing our
fund-raising (efforts)..."
Tuttle said describing the
agency's added emphasis on
marketing, community and
public relations as it "looks
to the needs of the future."
Tuttle reminded those at-
tending that one of Manet's
major fundraisers, the an-
nual auction, is scheduled in
mid-October.
The Fifth Annual Auc-
tion will be held Thursday,
Oct. 16 at Blue Cross Blue
Shield conference center on
Enterprise Dr., No. Quincy.

Joseph Dunfordy Jr, Promoted To 3-Star General
Quincy Man Nears Top
Of Marine Corps Ladder
By TOM HENSHAW
The teenaged kid who
grew up in Quincy is now
just one step below the rank
of commandant of the en-
tire United States Marine
Corps.
Lt. Gen. Joseph F. Dun-
ford Jr., 52, whose family
lives on Narragansett Road
in Merry mount, took on his
third star the other day, the
first Marine officer to go
from one to three in a single
bound.
Only the four stars worn
by Commandant Gen. James
T, Conway tops that rank.
Gen. Dunford, after a
brief visit to Afghanistan, is
presently the deputy com-
mandant for Plans, Policies
and Operations at Marine
headquarters in Washing-
ton.
A native of South Bos-
ton, the future general was
1 1 when the Dunford family
moved to Quincy, where he
attended St. Ann's School in
Wollaston and Boston Col-
lege High School.
For some reason, still un-
known to his father, Jo-seph
Sr., the youngster chose to
matriculate at St. Michael's
Calls For $300
College in Colchester, Vt.
"But he it was what
wanted and we've always
supported him," said Joseph
Sr.
At St. Mike's, Dunford
joined the Platoon Lead-
ers Course (PLC), a sort of
ROTC that is unique to the
Marine Corps, a move that
didn't surprise his family..
His father served in the
Marine Corps during the
Korean War and his brother,
Michael, retired in 2000 as
a lieutenant colonel after 21
years as an active and re-
serve Marine officer.
"He did this on his own,"
said his father. "He was a
political science ma-jor at
St. Michael's but he decided
on the military by himself
while he was in college."
Dunford came out of St.
Michael's College in June,
1977, with a commission as
a second lieutenant, took ba-
sic training at Quantico, Va.,
and shipped out to the West
Coast as a platoon com-
mander.
His first assignments in-
cluded platoon and com-
pany commander in the 3rd
Battalion, 1st Marine Divi-
sion and company com-
Fine
mander in the 1st Battalion,
9th Marine Division.
He moved up swiftly
through the ranks, becom-
ing a senior aide to the com-
mandant in 1992 and execu-
tive assistant to the vice
chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff from 1999 to 2001.
His one brush with ac-
tion came in 2003 when,
as commander of the Fifth
Marine Regiment, he led the
first American troops across
the Iraq border from Kuwait
to protect the oil fields.
His regiment went on to
become one of the first to
enter Baghdad.
Dunford is a graduate
of the U. S. Army Ranger
School, the Marine Corps
Amphibious Warfare School
and the U. S . Army War Col-
lege.
He has master's degrees
in government from George-
town University and in in-
ternational relations from
the Fletcher School of Law
and Diplomacy.
Dunford is married to
the former EUyn Sartucci
of Hingham and they have
three children, Joseph, 20,
and Patrick, 18, both in col-
lege, and Kathleen, 17.

commission from Gen. James T. Conway, commandant of the U. S. Marine Corps.
Raymond! Would Crackdown
On Knife Sales To Youngsters
Teenagers should not
be able to own or access
knives, according to Ward 2
City Councillor Daniel Ray-
mond! who has pro-posed a
city ordinance call-ing for
$300 fines for any-one sell-
ing knives to per-sons under
the age of 18 years old.
Raymondi told council-
lors Sept. 2 that he was
sur-prised to learn recently
that teenagers can purchase
knives, at any time, and
without identification.
When a constituent de-
scribed how easy a teen-
ager could purchase a knife,
Raymondi said he was sur-
prised, believing, "There
must be something on the
books."
Raymondi asked council-
lors to approve an ordinance
prohibiting the gift or sale of
knives to any individual 17
years old or younger.
The proposed ordinance
was sent to the ordinance
Committee for further re-
view. The ordinance would
include $300 fines for each
offense, which would be is-
sued as a non-criminal com-
plaint enforced by the police
department.
"Any person selling
knives shall positively es-
tablish the purchaser's age
as of the date of sale to be
1 8 years or older by viewing
a valid form of photograph-
ic identification, such as a
driver's license, Massachu-
setts identification card or
passport."

Women And Politics
So, 2008 wasn't the year for a woman president.
Hillary really tried though.
We could get a woman vice-president. Sarah is out
there giving it her all. We'll know Nov. 4.
There really aren't many women in major roles on
the national political stage.
Hillary Clinton stands out as a U.S. senator and first
woman to run for president. So does Nancy Pelosi as
Speaker of the House.
And, now, Sarah Palin, a virtual unknown as gover-
nor of Alaska, in just a few weeks is now an everyone-
knows-her-name candidate for vice-president.
But politics has been pretty much a man's world.
Not only nationally, but locally, too. Like here in
Quincy.
Not one woman mayor and only four women city
councillors in the 119 years since Quincy moved from
a town to a city in 1889.
Current Mayor Tom Koch is the 30''' man elected.
Four women have tried unsuccessfully. Score: Men:
30. Women: 0.
Women's best bet for elective office has been for
school committee. Twenty have won seats.
The first was Mabel Adams in 1896. And only 19
others in the 112 years since.
The four women who tried to make it to the mayor's
office were:
Rita Anderson (1971), Grace Saphir (1973 and
1975) and Joanne Condon and Sabina Kavanaugh
Stenberg, both in 1985.
Of the four, Saphir was the top vote
getter. She had an impressive 10,416
against incumbent Walter Hannon's
15,492 in 1973.
Quincy 's first woman councillor
was Edna Austin, an attorney, elected
in 1942-54 years af-
ter Quincy became a
city. She served as councillor at-large
and retired in 1959.
It was another 18 years before the
second woman-Joanne Condon-was
elected to the city
council, winning the
Ward 6 seat in 1977.
She served until 1985 when she
gave up the seat to unsuccessfully
challenge Mayor Frank McCauley
who defeated her for a third term.
Third woman councillor was Patri- CONDON

Help With Simple Wills Monthly
Atty. Ed Conroy will be derly with a free explanation
at the Council on Aging of- of simple wills,
fice, 83 Saratoga St., North Call 617-376-1506 for an
Quincy, every third Friday appointment,
of the month to assist the el-
cia Toland who came over from the school committee
in 1981 . For four years, she and Con-
don made political history together:
the first and only time two womenl
were seated in the city council at the|
same time.
Toland also made some history on I
her own: the only woman ever elected'
city council president. She served 11
years on the council before becoming
assistant city clerk.
Fourth woman councillor was Alicia Gardner who
was elected in 2003 but stepped down after serving
just one term.
The council has been all-male ever
since.
Women have made progress
through the 119 years. Inch by inch
progress you might say.
While Quincy was still a town in
1880, selectmen issued a "Qualified
Female Voters" list. It contained only
nine names.
In those days women could vote for school com-
mittee only.
In 1919 when the 19* amendment to the Constitu-
tion was adopted giving nationwide suffrage to wom-
en, Quincy, now a city-had 7.707 male registered vot-
ers to 429 female.
In 1920 when the 19''' amendment actually became
effective, women rushed to register. That year, male
voters numbered 9,200. But women were gaining fast
with 6,236.
Women not only caught up to the men a few years
ago, but passed them. They presently
outnumber men by approximately
3,000, according to City Clerk Joseph
Shea.
If women voters united behind a
woman mayoral candidate that would
put a woman in the third floor office
as chief executive.
But women vote for the candidate-
male or female- which, of course, is the way it should
be.
Quincy 's mayors have usually come out of the city
council but not always. Latest excep-
tion was William Phelan who ran for
mayor as a second-term school com-
mitteeman in 2001 and stunned the
political scene with a 17- vote upset
win over six-term incumbent James
Sheets.
Weymouth switched from a town
to city govenmient in 1999 and al-
ready has a woman mayor. Susan Kay was elected
Weymouth's second mayor last year.
So, ladies, it can be done.
Someday there will be a Madam Mayor at City Hall.
But we might have to wait awhile longer.
She could be snuggly in her crib right now. Or start-
ing pre-school.
But maybe she's closer than that.
Whoever she is and whenever she arrives, she would
certainly be an interesting occupant of that third floor
office.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS 1930's postcard view of the Hotel Taylor that
was on Fensmere Avenue at the end of Houghs Neck.
Thomas Taylor and then his wife, Jane, operated this
hotel for almost 20 years until it closed down in the late
1930's. It had 40 rooms all with outside windows, most
with ocean views. The Taylors also operated a poolroom,
bowUng alley and a ballroom on their property. Built
as The Fensmere Hotel in 1900, it was later named The
Crystal Lake Hotel and then The Pandora before Taylor
bought it. The four-acre site included a salt-water pond
with a small island. Guests used the pond for canoeing.
The property was later taken by the city as the site for
the old Great Hill School and is now used for a public
park. To contact Tom Calvin, e-mail tmgalvin@ verizon.

John McDuff : Voice For Animal Rights
I was very impressed by
the story of the Hanabury
Foundation's work for feral
cats. Kathy was an outstand-
ing young woman, and it is
a shame that she is no longer
with us to continue her ef-
forts on behalf of animals.
1 would appreciate
the chance to discuss the
League, for any new people,
who may not be familiar
with it.
In November of 1981,
John H. McDuff was asked
by the New England Anti-
Vivisection Society to head
up a drive to put an end to
pound seizure of dogs for
experimentation in Quincy.
John accepted the challenge

Animal League was bom.
He addressed the City Coun-
cil and the Council agreed to
ask the state government to
exempt our city from pound
seizure. Even with the sup-
port of our state legislators
it took two years to pass,
and be signed by Governor
Dukakis.
Two of my favorite pho-
tos are of John leading a hun-
dred person march against
pound seizure, and another
one of John with Gov. Du-
kakis getting the bill signed.
There is no doubt that John
McDuff became the voice of
animal rights in our city at
that time.
The successes go on
from there. John and Mayor
Frank McCauley, along with
the City Council, worked to
get a new animal shelter,
that was built in 1989, and
donated an alarm system
and cleaning system.
Next came the listing of
shelter animals in the news-
papers for adoption.
In 1995 John teamed up
with Kathy to ban perform-
ing animal acts in our city.
John thought a great deal
of her, and was looking for-
ward to more good works
together, when sadly she
left us. In fact, many of the
original supporters of the
work of the Quincy Animal
league are no longer with
us, but John McDuff, at 75,
is still at the head of the or-
ganization he created and
has led for 26 years.
Over those many years
he has received commenda-
tions from the city and state,
and from the Quincy Citi-
zens Association, who gave
him the Man of the Year
Award. In 1995 John was
named "Human Hero of the
Year" by his success with
the ban on circus animals
and other activities.
With John's leadership,
the Quincy Animal League
continues to be one of Quin-
cy's true treasures.

Plan To Borrow
For Parking Areas
Meets Snag
This Week
1957
5 1 Years Ago
By FRANK McCAULEY
The plan to borrow money this year for the purchase of
off-street parking areas for Wollaston _^.,__«__^
and Norfolk Downs was stymied when
Alexander Smith, city auditor, advised
that such a borrowing was impossible
because the city had provided no quali-
fying fee for such takings.
Mayor Amelio Delia Chiesa said he
would discuss with councillors that p(«sibility of using park-
ing meter receipts and the possibility of other reserve funds to
proceed with the proposal .
In a recent public hearing, North Quincy merchants and the
Chamber of Commerce urged the council to make the takings.
BETHELEM STEEL HAS 49%
OF U^. MERCHANT SHIP WORK
Bethelem Steel Corporation's shipbuilding division holds
contracts for nearly half-49.6 % of the new deadweight tonnage
of merchant ships being built in American shipyards.
Of this total, 1,073,550 tons or 26.7 % will be built at the
Fore River Shipyard. Fore River will build 19 tankers ranging
in size from 16,000 to 105,000 deadweight tons.
A keel was laid this week for the first of five 46.000-dead-
weight ton tankers that the Fore River Shipyard will build for
the Onassis' interests.
The Quincy shipyard has six other ships in various stages
of construction.

School Committee Votes Union Pay $ J 00,000
Court Approval Awaited
On Strike Penalties
Group Seeks To Found
Quincy Granite Museum
The School Committee
voted unanimously to a set-
tlement agreement that will
require the Quincy teachers'
union to pay $100,000 in
damages as a result of last
year's strike.
The agreement, which
will now go before a court
for approval, essentially
settles lingering issues sur-
rounding the bitter teachers'
strike in June of 2007, which
shut down Quincy schools.
"It is time for all of us to
move from what happened
last year, and begin work-
ing to ensure that it doesn't
happen again," said Mayor
Thomas Koch, who is chair-
man of the School Commit-
tee. 'This agree-ment is a
signal that the School De-
partment, the City, and our
teachers are ready to work
together mov-ing forward."
The School Commit-
tee's legal team, which has
worked on the case since the
strike in June of 2007, pro-
posed the $100,000 fine in
July after courts handling the
strike fallout requested an
accounting of actual damag-
es suffered by the city. The
School Committee debated
the figure at three meetings
in executive ses-sion, with
some members arguing for a
higher figure.
The Committee's legal
advisers suggested that a
higher figure would likely
prompt a protracted and
costly legal fight with teach-
ers and would not withstand
Quincy Fire Department
Retirement Banquet Oct. 7
the scrutiny of an arbitrator,
Koch said. The committee
ultimately voted 7-0 to ac-
cept the agreement at its
meeting last Wednes-day.
As part of the damages
assessment, the School
Committee agreed not to
fight the union's request to
have separate court fines
folded into the damages to
create one overall payment
directly to the City. If the
court rejects the agreement,
new negotiations will be
necessary, officials said.
"The School Committee
displayed true leadership
for finding common ground
on this issue, and I am proud
that our elected officials
are now ready to focus on
pro-tecting Quincy Public
Schools rather than political
payback," Koch said.
One of the most im- Drives in West Quincy, the
portant yet least promoted heart of the industry more
at-tractions in the city of than 100 years ago.
Quincy is the granite indus- "This part of Quincy's
try, which provided the best history is being lost to fu-
building materials during ture generations." said the
the "stone age" of American
architecture.
A group of history and
tourist-conscious residents
is about to do something
about it, something like the
establishment of a Quincy
group in its mission state-
ment. "The focus of this
museum will be on all areas
of the granite industry.
"Our goals for the mu-
seum are to preserve the
historical information and
Quarry & Granite Workers materials related to Quincy
Museum.
They've even selected a
location, the site of the his-
toric Lyons Turning Mill at
Ricciuti and Quarry Hills
granite quarrying (and) the
granite workers and pro-
mote interest in Quincy
granite through exhibits,
programs and educational
activities."
The group is interested in
acquiring memorabilia and
pictures of the granite indus-
try in Quincy. Photographs
can be scanned and returned
to the sender.
The group is also seek-
ing to attract new members,
form a non-profit, fund-rais-
ing, grant wnting, re-search,
legal advice and establishing
a website, in other words,
getting orga-nized.
The group can be con-
tacted at the Quincy Quarry
& Granite Worker Museum.

Readers Forum
It Is Time To Do What Is Best
For The City's Children
Reading the recent arti-
cles and advertisements The
Quincy Sun concerning the
status of Quincy's 13 to 15-
year old Babe Ruth division
and discussing the issues
with both groups involved
has left a number of parents
and young men confused
and disappointed.
Both sides have stated
that the administration of
the division needs to be
reorganized and updated
and each group has moved
down that road in differ-
ent ways. However, actions
such as dismissing the opin-
ions and work of longtime
leaders and volunteers with
the Babe Ruth division, se-
ceding from Quincy Youth
Baseball or disagreeing over
the charter from Babe Ruth
Baseball don't solve much.
The young men playing
youth baseball in the city do
not worry that which group
will have the Babe Ruth
charter or that one group had
had the charter for years or
that one league would host
a regional tournament. What
the young men and many
parents want is one league
with friends and families
playing together in a spirited
and well run environment.
We hope that this sepa-
ration can be amicably re-
solved and the groups can
come together to talk-and
we ask them to do that soon.
One thought is to engage an
independent party not affili-
ated with Quincy sports or
Babe Ruth Baseball to meet
with both groups (and pos-
sibly Babe Ruth Baseball)
to understand the issues and
work towards a solution.
Having been parents of
players, as well as coaches
and volunteers, we have
seen the countless hours
people from both groups
have spent volunteering
with the children of Quincy.
We believe that each group
is trying to do what is best
for the yoimg men. How-
ever, until this matter is re-
solved, what is best for the
baseball players in Quincy
is not being accomplished.

The Training Resources
of America, Inc. YouthBuild
Program graduate 17 stu-
dents Tuesday at the Four's
Restaurant function facility,
15 Cottage Ave. in Quincy.
The graduates, ages 17 to
21 include: Matthew Miller,
Joseph Pepin, J.E.Addison,
Michael Morganelli, Frank
Pyne, Joseph Pfistner, all of
Quincy; Christopher Mitch-
ell, Jaryd Quirk, Raymond
Lomax, Joseph Cames,
Ryan Jewett, all of Wey-
mouth; Ryan Serafini, Mat-
thew Fields-Coard , both of
Randolph; James Joyce of
South Boston, Derek Vau-
trinot of Rockland, Joaquin
Storms of Dorchester, and
David Barron of Hull.
"YouthBuild 2008 grad-
uates are a great group of
talented, smart and dedicat-
ed young adults. We are so
proud of their accomplish-
ments. They have excelled
at the worksite, received
their GEDS, and partici-
pated in numerous commu-
nity service projects," said
Isabel J. Cobb, TRA Quincy
Manager.
Quincy YouthBuild is
part of a nationwide move-
ment of over 225 Youth-
Build programs designed
to unleash the positive en-
ergy of unemployed young
people to rebuild their com-
munities and their own lives
with a commitment to work,
education, responsibility
and family.
In partnership with Quin-
cy Housing Authority, TRA
has operated YouthBuild
programming in Quincy
since 2001 , serving close to
200 youth.
"We are very pleased to
be partners with Training
Resources of America in
this very worthwhile pro-
gram. We're proud of the
accomplishments of the
participants. Their work
has certainly improved the
properties of the Quincy
Housing Authority. We look
forward to continuing to
work with them in the fu-
ture," said Quincy Housing
Authority Executive Direc-
tor Jay MacRitchie.
The program provides
comprehensive training to
young people ages 16 to 24
that meet low-income guide-
lines, are not in school , have
not received a high school
diploma or GED, and dem-
onstrate a willingness to
work hard for personal and
community change.
Students receive instruc-
tion in remediation/ GED
preparation, self esteem/
life and leadership skills,
and job readiness training.
Extensive support services
include counseling/ case
management, job develop-
ment and placement assis-
tance, as well as job reten-
tion and follow-up services.
Construction skills training
utilizes a community hous-
ing rehabilitation or new
construction project which
helps create quality low-
income housing.
With direction and
support from the Quincy
Housing Authority, Quincy
YouthBuild students are
helping to replace roofs,
siding, and windows at 180
four-family buildings in the
Riverview Family Develop-
ment in the "Germantown"
neighborhood.
Conmiunity service is
another component of the
program. This year the stu-
dents volunteered weekly at
Cradles to Crayons. One of
the projects there involved
making backpacks for stu-
dents returning to school.
They participated in the
annual YouthBuild State
House Day as well as the
YouthBuild Carpentry
Challenge competition and
basketball tournament.
Collaborating agency
representatives will speak
at the ceremony. Family and
friends will be on hand to
congratulate the graduates
as they prepare to use their
new skills in the workplace.

ll*** Annual Quincy Medical Center
Cancer Walk Set for Sept. 28
X.
Squantum Pair To Do
Autism Walk Oct. 19
The 11* Annual Quincy
Medical Center Cancer
Walk will be held Sunday,
Sept. 28 at Pageant Field in
Merrymount Park in Quin-
cy.
Registration begins at
8 a.m., and the four-mile,
non-competitive walk starts
at 9:30 a.m.
The QMC Cancer Walk
Committee is lead by Chair-
man of the QMC Board
of Trustees Bob Curry, of
Curry ACE Hardware, and
Honorary Chairman Hank
Bradley, director of Quincy
Veterans Services. Boston
Medical Center and Curry
Ace Hardware are present-
ing sponsors of the 2008
QMC Cancer Walk
"This is a great event for
the hospital and for the com-
munity," said Curry. "Last
year, approximately 1 ,500
people participated and
raised more than $201,000.
This year, our goal is to
raise $300,000 for the Cur-
ry Fund through corporate
sponsors, individual walk-
ers, walk teams and match-
ing gifts."
The Marie A. Curry Fund
at Quincy Medical Center
(QMC) was established in
1995 by the Curry family of
Quincy as a lasting, living
memorial to their wife and
mother who died of breast
cancer. Marie's family and
the City of Quincy 's May-
or's Commission on Wom-
en joined together in 1998
to create a walk to support
the Curry Fund. Nearly
$ 1 .5-million has been raised
for the Curry Fund since its
inception. Now in its U""
year, the QMC Cancer Walk
supports the Fund's mission
to:
• promote the early de-
tection and prevention of a
wide range of cancers;
• ensure that women and
men in our community who
have the need can access
free and potentially life-
saving cancer screenings;
• purchase state-of-the-
art medical equipment to
detect cancer; and
• fund cancer education
programs for caregivers.
The post-walk celebra-
tion at Pageant Field will
include lunch provided by a
variety of local restaurants,
including Outback Steak-
house and Chipotle Mexi-
can Grill of Quincy, as well
as a family-friendly Safety
and Health Fair organized in
conjunction with the Quincy
Police Department. The fair
will offer a variety of health
screenings, information and
giveaways, as well as dem-
onstrations by local, state

During the war effort, many synthetic chemicals were
created, a number of which eventually found a place in our
lawns. Some of these chemicals acted as defoliants and were
used for their herbicidal qualities. After the war ended, cer-
tain synthetic chemicals became part of a new campaign to
have the perfect weed-free lawn, and a massive marketing
effort was undertaken in the 1950's. With the expansion of
suburbia in the post-war period, lawns became more com-
mon place, and most home owners craved the perfect lawn,
which quickly became an American icon.
In our collective quest for the perfect lawn, it was largely
unknown to the general public that these synthetic prod-
ucts were extremely hazardous to both humans and wildlife
alike. It was not until Rachel Carson published the land-
mark book "Silent Spring" in 1962 that the dark side of
these chemicals came to light. Today, it is almost common

Fortunately for us, saner altematives do exist, and we can

the recent influx of information about how to slow global

*Good News' To Tape 700th Program
At Point Congregational
A -video milestone will
occur this Sunday (Sept. 21)
as the Quincy Point Con-
gregational Church tapes its
700th Sunday morning pro-
gram of "Good News."
The first program was
taped in November of 1990.
Created by then pastor the
Rev. Fred Atwood-Lyon,
a communications team
headed up by church mem-
ber and television specialist.
Bob Gohl, generally tapes
40 weeks a year taking the
summer months off.
Members of the team in-
clude church members: Jack
Bissett, Adam McGhee,
Craig Jackson, Ian Cham-
pion, Bob Romeiri and Don
Smith.
Postproduction editing
and the adding of graphics
take place at the studio of
Quincy Access Television.
The church would espe-
cially like to thank the staff,
particularly Executive Di-
rector Bette Campbell for
the use of their production
area and their guidance.
The Board of Deacons,
Pastor Rev. Ann Suzedell
and Bob Gohl will be re-
viewing new equipment:
digital cameras, DVD re-
corders and other televi-
sion equipment to bring the
church into the 21st century
of video technology.
The 700th program can
be seen Wednesday, Sep-
tember 24th at 6 p.m. on

the lOOth convocation of the
New England School of Law
at TD Banknorth Garden in
Boston next Tuesday.
And why not?
She'll be 100 years old
herself on Nov. 1.
For all the school knows,
Mrs. Dewey is the oldest
living graduate of New Eng-
land Law School but she'll
certainly be the oldest of the
alumna from the 1930s at
the convocation.
She graduated from New
England Law when it was
known as Portia Law School ,
one of only two schools that
permitted women to learn
the secrets of nolo conten-
dre and ha-beas corpus at
the time.
She was the founder of
CATHERINE DEWEY
an all female law firm that
practiced the legal arts out
of 2 Beacon St. in the very
heart of the then-male domi-
nated profession.
A native of Everett, where
she was once a mem-ber of
the School Commit-tee, and
the widow of Judge George
Dewey, Mrs. Dewey moved
to Qumcy at the ten-der age
of 78.
She and her husband had
seven children but only one
of them took up the law.
That would be her daugh-
ter, Susan.

by David Uffington
Help for First-
Time Homebuyers
As part of (he Housing and
Econmnic Recovery Act of
2008, those who want to buy
a home will get some help.
The biggest item in the leg-
islation is (he credi( of up to
$7,500 that can be given (o
first-lime homebuyers.
But that "credi(" needs to
be looked at closely.
Although it looks like a lax
credit, the program is actual-
ly a loan thai you*ll claim on
your lax relum. As such, il
becomes an obligation that
you'll owe lo the Inlemal
Revenue Service over a span
of 15 years.
Specifics of the program:
• Single taxpayers mu.sl
make less than $75,000 (and
married couples less than
$150,000).
• The allowed credit is up
(o 10 percen( of the cos( of
(he house.
• The credi( amounts to a
zero-interest loan.
• You must buy your home
between April 9, 2(X)8, and
July 1, 2009. (The date is
determined by the closing
date.)
"First-time buyers" means
you haven't owned a princi-
pal-resiitence home for Ihree
years. If you owned a vaca-
tion home, you're not dis-
qualified.
You'll begin making pay-
ments to the IRS two years
after you claim the credit.
Payments will be made via
your tax payments, although
the specifics haven't been
ironed out ycL
Some considerations to
think abouC
Even though this is given
as a tax credit, it really is a
loan, and you'll owe money
to the IRS. If you don't pay,
the standard IRS penalties
and interest will kick in.
If you sell your home, the
money becomes due. The
IRS doesn't need to be paid
directly out of proceeds
from the sale, but you will
immediately be obligated to
pay back the balance that
you owe. (If you sell and
your protlt is less than the
amount you owe the IRS, the
balance that you owe is for-
given.)
The same situation would
apply if you move but don't
sell. Let's say you move to a
smaller place and rent out
your home. When the home
is no longer your main resi-
dence, the money becomes
due to the IRS for that tax
year.

homebuyer credit as well as
other provisions of the act.

lose money on their big-
gest investment so instead
of moving, they're improv-
ing their homes," says Joe
Rey-Barreau, an associate
professor at the University
of Kentucky's School of In-
terior Design and education
consultant for the Ameri-
can Lighting Association
(ALA). He says now that
warmer weather has arrived,
people are adding decks,
patios, gazebos and outdoor
kitchens to their homes, and
they aren't just planning to
use them in the daytime.
"The trend towards ex-
panding outdoor living
space has been growing for
some time now," says Rich-
ard Lentz, president of Lentz
Landscape Lighting in Dal-
las, Texas. "In past years,
our goal was focused on
lighting the space and show-
ing off the garden. Now
we're concentrating a lot
more effort on finding inno-
vative ways to light outdoor
spaces so they can be used
at night, much like they're
used during the day."
Backyard decks no longer
just have a small light near
the door. Lentz says lighting
designers are now installing
down lights in trees and at-
taching them to chinmeys
to shine light down on the
space. "We're also putting
in a lot of step lights to make
the transition from the upper
to lower level easier," says
Lentz, who adds that people
no longer have to feel like
they're imder a spotlight
when they sit outside under
the stars. "If there's a tree
nearby, we can shine light
down from it. Attaching fix-
tures to a chinmey is also a
nice way to get light from
above that feels like moon-
light."
And when it comes to
lighting outdoor kitchens,
innovation is key. "We do a
lot of task lighting in the out-
door kitchen," says Lentz.
"We'll utilize the arbors to
hang task lighting over the
sink, the grill and the table,
for example, and put them
on dimmers so when the
light isn't needed, it can be
turned down."
Lentz credits the recent
innovations offered by vari-
ous lighting manufacturers
for making those projects
possible. "Technology sure
has come a long way in a
short amount of time," he
says.
Rey-Barreau agrees.
"Manufacturers realize
there's a growing market
for outdoor fixtures and they
have responded by step-
ping up to the challenge to
develop chandeliers, table
lamps and sconces that are
rated for wet conditions so
they can be safely installed
outdoors," he says.
Safety isn't the only fac-
tor being considered by
manufacturers. So is oper-
ating cost. Not so long ago,
the U.S. government man-
dated that the lighting indus-
try find ways to cut energy
consimiption of their prod-
ucts. Kichler Lighting of
Cleveland, Ohio, responded
by coming out with a line
of outdoor fixtures that use
highly efficient L.E.D. bulbs
that require one-third the en-
ergy of incandescents.
"Wlien people realize
they can get the same light
output, a nice comfortable
color and reduce energy use
by 75 percent, they are more
than willing to make the
change," says Jeff Dross at
Kichler Lighting.
There have been iimova-
tions in the area of lighting
for curb appeal purposes as
well. "Landscape lighting
is about safety, security and
aesthetics. As far as the lat-
ter goes, the key to success is
being subtle. Less is always
more," says Monty Gilbert-
son, manager of Lighting
Design by Wettsteins in La
Crosse, Wise.
Doug Prexta, who works
for the landscape division
of Cleveland, Ohio-based
Hinckley Lighting con-
firms lighting the outdoors
is a trend that's here to stay.
"Our business is way up in
the landscape division be-
cause people are investing
in their homes more and
more," he says.

and dethatched, look for
weak spots in it. Overseed-
ing, the spreading of grass
seed directly onto soil with-
in an existing lawn, can im-
prove a lawn's appearance
dramatically and eliminate
the need for a total lawn
renovation.
Early fall is the prime
time to overseed because
the warm soil promotes
Labor Day and the end of rapid seed growth and typi-
October - are recommend- cally, fewer weed problems
emerge during this time of
the year.
Terminal
Connections
Q, In a cuuple uf earlier
• articles you men-
tioned attaching or tight-
ening; wires around their
"lerminals." What are ter-
minals, and how do I
attach a wire to one? —
Geny P., lluntsville, Ala.
A, A "lerminal." in the
• parlance of minor
electrical repair, is a com-
mon term for the posilion in
on electrical device where a
conneciion is made or bro-
ken. In short, it 's where you
hook the wires up. A termi-
nal in a small electrical item,
such as a lamp or a recepta-
cle, is generally a common
screw — you'll typically see
two terminals (screws) side
by side.
To connect a wire to a ter-
minal, the insulation around
the tip of the wire is su-ipped
away (so that the bare wire
will contact the terminal,
completing the conneciion).
The wire is then bent around
the lemiinal. underneath the
screw head, and the screw is
tightened ju.st enough to
hold the wire snugly.
Connecting the wire to the
terminal properly is essen-
tial to make sure a receptacle
works. Wire that is nicked
and scratched or that is
loosely connected to the ter-
minal can interfere with the
ilow of electric current
(meaning the receptacle
won't work right). Bare wire
extending past a screw ter-
minal can cause a short cir-
cuit if it touches another
metal part.
Fixing these problems can
be as simple as ensuring a
clean, snug connection to
the terminal. To do this,
always turn off power to the
circuit and test, using a cir-
cuit tester, to make sure no
current is reaching the unit.
Then, access the connector
area of the unit (in a low-
voltage thermostat, that's
behind the control dial; m a
wall receptacle, un.screw the
receptacle and tug out from
its metal box). Locate the
terminal screws and inspect
the wire ends for damage.
Scratched wire can be
clipped away: strip a seg-
ment of wire behind it and
reattach to the terminal.
Make sure the bare wire
wraps completely around
the terminal. ITie start of the
plastic insulation should
barely touch the screw head,
and no bare wire should jut
out from the tcnninal.

HEALTH and FITNESS
by Andrea Wyatt

Put Your Best
Foot Forward
There arc many factors
thai contribute to a success-
ful fitness plan. One ver>'
important one is choosing
the right footwear. It might
not seem hice a big deal, but
continuous movement in
improper footwear can lead
to serious ankle, knee, hip
and back problems.
For example, you begin a
running program and soon
after experience discomfort
in your knees. It's possible
that this discomfort is a
result of unhappy feet in
improper footwear. Before
you start an exercise pro-
gram, make sure your feet
are happy and ready to go.
Jasen A. Langley, DPM,
AACFAS, a member of the
American Podiatric Med-
ical Association, reccnn-
mends the following steps
in selecting the proper
footwear for your activity
level.
1. Fit: This is die most
important factor in choosing
footwear. You should be fit-
ted by a knowledgeable
shoe salesperson. Running
shoes should always have
some room, since ruiuiers
are susceptible to blisters.
2. Purpose: Buy the shoe
that best fits your activity
and activity level.
3. Brands: No single brand
is better than another. Try
variotis styles to determine
which bruid is stylish yet
comfortable.
4. Support: Those "cool"
colors in the soles of sneak-
ers are built into the shoe for
a reason. The colors repre-
sent difTcrcnt densities of
material. Rule of thumb:
The denser the material, the
more support there lends to
be in the shoe.
5. Orthotics: Your new
sneakers or footwear should
accommodate orthotic
devices. If you use orthotic
devices, I suggest you bring
them to the store with you to
have them properly fitted
into your shoe. For those
who do not know what
orthotic devices arc, ask a
podiatrist
6. Durability: Look at the
overall aspect of the shoe.
Inspect the mat^al. Check
the style of the shoe. If you
exercise hard, you change
shoes every two to three
months. The wear of your
shoes causes stress and
strain in the foot.
7. Reputation: Go to rep-
utable stores. Rimning
stores usually have sales-
people who are very knowl-
edgeable about running-
and cross-training shoes.
8. Ask: Contact your local
podiatrist for questions or
concerns you may have
about ycMir feet or footwear.
You will receive very
knowledgeable information
about comlitions of the focx,
treatment options and (m>p-
er shoe selection.
Ahvays consult a physi-
cian before beginning an
exercise program. If you
have a fitness or training
question, write to Andrea in
care of King Features Week-
ly Service. P.O. Box 536475,

THE GUM DISEASE/DIABETES LINK
Several recent studies sug-
gest that by taking better care
of their teeth and gums, people
with type 2 diat)etes can exert
better control over the disease.
According to the studies, type
2 diabetics wtx) have gum dis-
ease are more likely to devek)p
worsened glycemk; control
as well as have a higher risk
for end-stage kklney disease.
ISkjmerous studies point to the
fact that good glycemic control
lessens the devek)pment and
progression of diabetes' com-
plkatkxis. With this in mind,
when glyoemia is diffkxjtt for
diabetes patients to control,
they might want to consider re-

Do's And Don'ts Of Dealing With Diaper Rash
(ARA) - More than one
new mom has felt frustrated
or helpless over diaper rash.
One of the most conunon
ailments of infancy is also
among the least understood;
64 percent of moms said that
diaper rash was only a mi-
nor problem, and the major-
ity are imaware that a yeast
infection can cause a more
serious diaper rash, accord-
ing to a recent nationwide
survey of new and expectant
moms.
"It can be easy to chuckle
over diaper talk, but if you're
a parent faced with fighting
your baby's relentless dia-
per rash, you know it's not
a laughing matter," says Dr.
Jeimifer Shu, a pediatrician
from Atlanta, Ga., and co-
author of "Heading Home
with Your Newborn: From
Birth to Reality." "Many
mothers struggle heroically
to keep their babies rash-
free, but misconceptions
about the causes and treat-
ments of diaper rash may
hinder their efforts."
And even in oiu- health-
aware society, misconcep-
tions about diaper rash
persist. The "Baby Bottom
Line Report," conducted by
Penn, Schoen & Berland As-
sociates on behalf of Barrier
Therapeutics, Inc., makers
of dermatology products,
found that fewer than one
in five respondents could
identify any of the defined
differences between a nor-
mal diaper rash and a more
serious or severe diaper rash
such as one with yeast infec-
tion.
Dr. Shu offers new and
expectant mothers a few tips
on dealing with diaper rash:
DO realize that it's not
your fault.
Many causes lead to dia-
per rash, both mild and se-
vere, from simple chafing,
to prolonged exposure of the
skin to mine or stool, to in-
fection by a common type of
yeast called Candida. Rare
indeed is the baby who will
make it out of diapers with-
out ever experiencing some
diaper rash, no matter how
vigilant the parents are.
DON'T wait to deal with
a bad diaper rash - it may be
more.
Typically, diaper rash
will clear up in three days or
less with simple, over-the-
counter treatments. But if
the rash lasts more than 72
hours, you should take your
baby to your health care pro-
vider because it's possible
the rash is accompanied by
a yeast infection.
"Many of the cases of
persistent diaper rash that I
treat involve a yeast infec-
tion," Dr. Shu says. "How-
ever, parents don't always
know that yeast is a com-
mon cause of these rashes,
which can get worse without
proper treatment."
DO learn the difference.
Typical diaper rash de-
velops as mild redness with
well-defined edges between
affected and healthy skin. A
diaper rash complicated by
Candida will usually have
a "beefy" red appearance,
smaller rashes outside the
edges of the affected area,
bumps with or without pus,
and will last longer than
three days.
DO consult your health
care provider at the first sign
of a bad diaper rash.
Standard over-the-coun-
ter diaper rash treatments
may not cure a rash with a
yeast infection; an antifungal
treatment may be necessaiy.
Yoitf health care provider is
best qualified to diagnose
your baby's severe diaper
rash and tell you whether a
yeast infection is present.
Until recently, parents
had to use a combination
of creams and ointments to
treat a diaper rash with yeast
infection, including antifun-
gal products, steroids to re-
lieve symptoms, and a bar-
rier ointment. However, the
Federal Food and Drug Ad-
ministration has approved
Vusion Ointment (0.25 per-
cent miconazole nitrate, 15
percent zinc oxide, 81.35
percent white petrolatimi)
for the treatment of diaper
rash with yeast infections.
Specifically formulated for
the treatment of diaper rash
with Candida, Vusion is the
only treatment FDA-ap-
proved for this purpose.
In addition to the proper
treatment, it's important to
keep the baby's diaper area
as clean and dry as pos-
sible. Dr. Shu says. Change
diapers frequently, clean
the baby's diaper area with
warm water and mild soap
or a gentle baby wipe when
needed, and keep the diaper
area open to the air when-
ever possible. "Medication
can't cure diaper rash if the
baby's diaper area is not kept
clean and dry," she says.

per rash with Candida and

Fall To Scituate In Opener, 24-0
Raiders Eye Rebound
Against Sharon Saturday
By SEAN BRENNAN
The North Quincy Red
Raiders (0-1 overall, 0-1 in
the Patriot League) opened
the 2008 football season with
a disappointing 24-0 shutout
loss to Scituate High School
last Friday night at Veterans
Memorial Stadium.
The contest, which was
also the team's first game
played in the Patriot League,
gave fans no indication of
the progress that these Red
Raiders had made during
last season's 6-5 campaign.
Scituate dominated ball con-
trol and limited what should
be a high-powered North
Quincy offense to no points
and very little in offensive
production.
"(Scituate) did a great
job controlling the clock
and they played methodical,
mistake-free football," said
NQ head coach Jim Connor.
"We needed to work better
as a team but I saw some
things that were positive.
Even though we were having
a tough time stopping their
offense, we never stopped
hustling ar»d that makes me
feel like we will be alright
the rest of the season."
The Sailors, a Keenan
Division representative (the
Raiders represent the Fisher
Division), closed the first
quarter of play with a clock
chewing 13-play drive. Us-
ing mostly a power running
attack, Scituate halfbacks
Chris Mogan and Martin
Noenickx traded handoffs
and continually gained first
down yards while milking
the clock.
Scituate would eventu-
ally score the first points of
the game at the beginning
of the second quarter on a
four-yard option run by Mo-
gan. The point after attempt
(PAT) was wide left.
"They won mainly be-
cause of the amount of time
they controlled the ball,"
added Connor. "I think pos-
session was 3:1 and they
played mistake-free ball and
didn't turn the football over.
We had a hard time stopping
their drives. Most of them
were 10 to 12 play posses-
sions and they just took it
down the field.
"You have to give the
FOOTBALL
credit where credit is due."
This scoring drive had
started after a promising
North Quincy possession
came to a screeching halt
near the end of the first
quarter. North Quincy run-
ning back Joe Vialpando
had started the drive with
a nifty 40-yard dash, a run
that brought the Raiders
into Sailors' territory. But
on second down from the
Scituate 30-yard line. North
Quincy quarterback Mike
Stanton dropped back to
pass and Noenickx picked
off his throw. The Sailors
then drove 70 yards to take
the 6-0 lead.
After Mogan scored.
North Quincy took the ball
back and went four downs
and out. On the ensuing
punt, Scituate's James Voel-
ger returned the ball 51
yards, all the way back to
the Red Raider 36-yard line,
and the Sailors needed only
nine plays to turn their 6-0
advantage into a 12-0 lead
(they missed on ia two-point
conversion).
The Sailors, looking to
catch the Raiders off-guard
after the touchdown, at-
tegipted^ an onside kick,
but the ball was recovered
by North setting up a short
field for them to work with
as time was running out on
the first half.
Stanton connected with
fullback Brian Donaghey to
get North Quincy into Sci-
tuate territory and another
catch by Donoghey brought
the all the way down to the
Sailor 26-yard line. But with
time running out, Stanton
was sacked, ending the half
with the Sailors holding a
12-0 advantage.
"With the score 12-0 at
the half we had to get more
aggressive offensively in
the second half," said Con-
nor. "It became time to try
some high-risk-high-reward
play calling and it just didn't
result in any points. Not to
make any excuses but we
had seven starters out or
limited with injury and the
kids who stepped in did a
nice job, but we weren't at
full strength.
"What I would like to
see, no matter who is on
the field, is my team get-
ting back to playing North
Quincy football. We need
to remain focused and play
hard; that will be what wins
us games this year."
Scituate opened their sec-
ond half the same way they
had ended their first. Using
the power running game,
the Sailors ate up most of
the third quarter clock with
another extended scoring
drive and eventually scored
when Kyle Crowley scored
on a 30-yard wide receiver
reverse handoff. Another
missed PAT made the score
18-0.
With a quarter to play.
North Quincy finally made
some headway offensively
as Stanton drove his team
all the way down the field. A
20-yard pass to Paul Ream-
er and a 12-yard pass to Pat
Watkins highlighted the im-
pressive drive, but the Sci-
tuate defense would not let
North punch the football in
the end zone.
On third down and goal
from the Scituate 5-yard
line Stanton dropped back
to pass and was intercepted
in the end zone. The Sail-
ors returned the INT all the
way back to the Red Raiders
27-yard line and five plays
later. Mogan scored from 22
yards out for the last score
of the game.
"Pat Watkins showed
some hustle even after the
interception," said Con-
nor. "He chased down that
Scituate player and saved a
touchdown. That was good
to see.
"If we can get back to
forcing teams to make mis-
takes when they have the
ball and then capitalize on
those mistakes, we wilf win
plenty of games."
Next up for North Quincy
is a non-league road contest
against Sharon High School
on Saturday afternoon (1
p.m.).
On Sept. 26 the Raiders
face former Atlantic Coast
League foe Plymouth South
HS on the road before get-
ting back into Patriot League

By SEAN BRENNAN
The wet weather and
driving rain made the foot-
ball game between Quincy
High School and Canton
High School last Friday
night a bumbling and fum-
bling mess. And unfortu-
nately for the Presidents, the
outcome resulted in an 8-7
non-league loss.
This one-point defeat was
the second single point loss
in two games for Quincy.
"We are one or two plays
away from starting the sea-
son undefeated," said Quin-
cy head coach Bill Reardon.
"If we can limit some of
the mental mistakes that we
have been making these first
two games we should come
out on top more often than
not."
Against the Canton Bull-
dogs, the Presidents trailed
6-0 at the halftime break but
midway through the third
quarter Quincy capitalized
on another Bulldog turnover
(the teams combined for
eight fumbles and two inter-
ceptions). Senior defensive
lineman Derek Andrews
pounced on the turnover and
Quincy started the drive at
the Bulldog 15-yard line.
Two plays later, junior
running back Ed Jolicoeur
took the handoff from quar-
terback Lance Peterson and
rumbled into the end zone
FOOTBALL
to tie the score at 6-6. Place-
kicker Max Devoe's point
after attempt (PAT) was
good and the Presidents held
a 7-6 advantage.
The turnovers continued
to mount up for both teams
on the next two drives. After
Canton received the kickoff
following Jolicoeur 's touch-
down run, the Bulldogs
drove the field but ended up
giving the ball back to the
Presidents deep in their own
end of the field.
On the drive Peterson
and his offense stalled out,
unable to advance the ball
out from the shadow of their
own end zone and Reardon
was forced to call on his
special teams unit to come
out and try to punt the ball
away. On the long snap to
punter Bryan McGee, who
was standing in the back of
the end zone the wet ball
slipped through his hands
and a scrum ensued.
The initial call by the
game officials was that a
Canton player had recovered
the loose ball for six points,
but after a conference on the
field, the referees reversed
their call and instead decided
that McGee had recovered
his own fumble. The result
either way didn't help the
Presidents as the Bulldogs
were credited with a safety
(a two point score).
The best chance Quincy
had to take back the lead oc-
curred in the fourth quarter.
After another Canton tum-
over gave the Presidents the
ball back with about eight
minutes to play in the game,
Peterson drove his offense
all the way down to the
Bulldog 35-yard line. On
third down and long, Peter-
son dropped back to throw,
but Canton's Jack Lamir at
the 24-yard line intercepted
his intended pass ending the
threat and closing out the
game.
The wet and wild contest
began with both teams being
forced to punt the ball away
on their opening drives.
But in the second quarter it
was Canton that solved the
weather issue first.
Bulldog quarterback
Matt Wing executed a 12-
play, 78-yard drive, which
included three passes for 31
yards including an 11 -yard
touchdown strike with three
minutes left in the half that
gave Canton the early 6-0
lead.
The final three minutes
of play in the opening half
was a turnover parade that
resulted in a Quincy fumble,
a Canton fumble, another
Presidents fumble and fi-
nally a Canton interception
at the Quincy 16-yard line.
"There were a lot of posi-
tives that came out of this
tough loss," added Reardon.
"The kids played hard and
tough till the end. But the
weather caused some prob-
lems with our passing game.
Peterson could not get the
ball out deep to Anthony
Raddatz or any of his other
receivers and it slowed down
what we were trying to run
offensively. But both teams
had to deal with the weather
so that is not an excuse.
With two one-point loss-
es to open the season, Rear-
don and his team will look
to get that first victory of the
year when they play host
to Plymouth South High
School this Friday night
at Veterans Memorial Sta-
dium. Kickoff is scheduled
for 7 p.m.
A bye week follows the
Plymouth South game, but
on Oct. 3 Quincy will open
its Patriot League schedule
with an away game against
Rockland High School.

A Job Well Done
On Friday, September 5. 2(X)S. at approxmiately 6 15
P.M., Officer Dennis Keenan wa.s dispatched to CVS Phar
macy in Wollaston on a report of
a person attempting to obtain
a controlled substance by fraud.
Officer Keenan interviewed the
Pharmacist, who stated that she
received a phone call from a fe
male claiming that she worked
at a Dcxtor's office. The fe-
male ordered a prescription
fV)r 1X0 Tramadol, a controlled
substance that is prescril>ed for
pain. The female ordered the
prescription for an alleged pa-
tient. The Pharmacist immedi
ately became suspicious due to
the amount of the drug being ordered. A call was made to
the Doctor's office to confirm the prescription. The Doc-
tor informed CVS that he did not authorize the prescription
and that he has never treated the "patient" coming to pick up
the prescription.
The Pharmacist told Officer Keenan that a male called
CVS to inquire if the prescription was ready. He also
asked if he could use his girlfriend's AAA card for a discount
when paying for the prescription. The Pharmacist told the
suspect that the AAA card could be used. The suspect said he
would be at the store in approximately one half hour. Officer
Keenan gave the Pharmacist his cell phone number and told
her to call when either the female or male suspect arrived to
pick up the fraudulent prescription.
At approximately 7:30 P.M., the Pharmacist called and
stated that a female and male were at the pharmacy coun-
ter attempting to pick up the fraudulent prescription. Of-
ficer Keenan was a distance away, so he contacted Officer
Roger White and asked him to respond to CVS. Officer
White walked up to the counter and detained the male, but
the female left the store when she observed him walking to-
wards the pharmacy counter.
Officer Keenan arrived on scene and questioned the male
suspect, who apf>eared to be extremely nervous. .After be-
ing advised of his Miranda Rights, Officer Keenan asked
the suspect what he was doing at CVS. He stated that he
was with his girlfriend picking up a prescription for her cous-
in. When asked where his girifriend was, the suspect said
he didn't know. Officer Keenan asked him what his girl-
friends name and date of birth were and the suspect provided
the information. The Officer was familiar with a female who
had a similar name and the same date of birth, which made
him believe that the suspect was attempting to mislead the
investigation.
The suspect was informed that he was a suspect in the
crime of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud. The
suspect denied doing anything. The Pharmacist then hand-
ed Officer Keenan an AAA card with the name of the female
suspect on it, adding that the male and female suspect at-
tempted to use the card when paying for the prescription. Of-
ficer Keenan asked the suspect what the female was wearing
and he said she had black pants and a green shirt.
Officer John Mclsaac observed the store security tape and
noted that the female suspect wore white capri pants and a
black shirt. This furthered Officer Keenan 's suspicions
that the male suspect was deliberately attempting to mis-
lead the investigation. Officer Keenan then contacted com-
munications and requested a Massachusetts query on the fe-
male susf)ect and this led to a similar name with the date of
birth given by the male suspect. This address matched the
male susp>ect's address on Taylor Street in Quincy.
Officer Keenan informed the suspect that he was under ar-
rest for "Obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and Mis-
leading a Police Officer during the invesugation of a crime."
Just after the male suspect was transported to the station.
Officer Matt Patten located a female matching the suspect's
description in the parking lot of the Wollaston MBTA Sta-
tion. Officer Keenan met up with Officer Patten and the fe-
male suspect who was wearing clothes seen on the security
tape. Officer Keenan advised her of Miranda Rights and
she stated that she understood them and agreed to speak to
him. The female suspect admitted that it was her prescrip-
tion and that she became nervous when she saw Officer
White enter CVS. She said she exited the store to avoid the
police. Officer Keenan asked her if she was picking up a pre-
scription for her cousin and she stated ."no it was for me." She
seemed confused when Officer Keenan spoke of her cousin
and stated that she had no idea what he was talking about.
The female suspect confided that she was prescribed Trama-
dol approximately two years ago for pain and she became ad-
dicted to it. She added that she has tried to stop the Trama-
dol but continues to relapse.
Officer Patten transported the female suspect back to CVS ,
where the Pharmacist identified her as the female at the phar-
macy counter with the male suspect who attempted to obtain
a controlled substance by fraud. She was placed under arrest
and transported to the station by Officer Patten and charged
with "Obtaining a controlled Substance by Fraud." A copy of
the false prescription and three photos from the secunty
tape showing the suspects entering the store and standing at
the pharmacy counter together were taken as evidence.

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Aspects favor new
romances for unpaired Ewes
and Rams. Already-paired
Arian iwosomes experience
renewed harm(my in their
reiationships. Money matters
also take a bright turn.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) Use that strong Bovine
determination to help you
keep the faith with your con-
victions while you move
through a period of uncer-
tainty. Things t»egin to ease
by the week's end.
GE.MINI (May 21 to June
20) Pay attention to your
intuition. It could be alcning
you to be more careful about
accepting a "statement of
fact" simply on trust. Don't
be shy about asking for more
proof.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Concern for the well-
being of someone in need is
admirable. But don't forget
to take care of yourself as
well. Ask a family member,
close friend or colleague to
help you.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
It's OK to focus on the
demands of your career. But
try to avoid misunderstand-
ings by also reaching out to
family and friends. Your
.sharp intuitive sense kicks in
by midweek.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) Keep a rein on
that green-eyed monster.
Jealousy is counterproduc-
tive. Instead of resenting a
colleague's good points, con-
centrate on developing your
own abilities.
LIBRA (Septemljer 23 to
October 22) Spending time
on a creative project during
this high-enci^y week can
pay off both in emotional sat-
isfaction and in impressing
someone who is glad to see
this side of you.

November 2 1 ) Now is a good
time to start planning that trip
you 've put off because of the
demands on your time. Be
sure to choose a destination
that is new and exciting.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21 ) That
upbeat mood in the First part
of the week makes you eager
to take on new ventures. A
more serious note sets in later
to help you assess an upcom-
ing decision.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) A high
energy level gives the Goat
the get-up-and-go to finish
outsuinding tasks before
deadline, leaving time for
well-earned fun and games
with friends and family.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Dealing with
disappointment is never easy.
But the wi.se Aquarian will
use it as a vital lesson and be
the better for it. A close
friend has something impor-
timt to say.
PISCES (Februar)' 19 to
March 20) Best bet is not to
get involved in an ai^umeni
between colleagues until you
know more about who started
it and why. And even then,
appearances could be deceiv-
ing. Be alert.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
have creative gifts that
inspire those who get to see
this sometimes-hidden side
of you.

"Nowadays it isn't the little red school-
house one conies upon, but the little-read
schoolboy." ■ Cy N. Peace
Reading is magic. It enables us to ex-
perience and ponder the past. It helps
us to live more happily and wisely in the
SCOTT DEWARE present. And it permits us to cope with
the future. . .
A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, is the
delivery room for the birth of ideas - a place where history comes
to life. . .
Dwight D. Eisenhower, some years back, was quoted as saying
. . . "History records how the living ideas of civilization were saved
and nourished behind a wall of books. Our libraries today serve
the same cause, for the defenders of freedom must remain strong
m mind and heart. From the famous metropolitan libraries of
America to the bookmobiles that serve our rural areas, books guard
the wisdom of the past and kindle the ideas of tomorrow."
To the little-read schoolboy may we say . . . There may be very
few little red-schoolhouses left in America today, but remember .
. . so long as there exist public libraries and dedicated librarians
there is access to cures, to truths, to understanding, to peaceful
pursoits, and to new challenges in the American tradition.

ALICIA GARDNER lets everyone know who she is rooting for amid the throng at the De-
mocratic National Convention in the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado.
BILL DELAHUN 1 shares a moment of relaxation with fellow delegate Alicia Gardner.
MICHAEL MORRISSEY manages to maintain his senatorial dignity in shirt and tie while the
conventioneers around him lose their's.
Delegate Alicia Gardner:
Obama Nomination Was
'Experience Of Lifetime
CROWD OF 70,000 that heard Barack Obama speak at Vesco Field included Alicia Gardner
and Sen. Michael Morrissey.
The Democratic National
Convention in Denver that
nominated Barack Obama
for president was "an ex-
perience of a lifetime" to
Alicia Gardener, the former
city councillor.
"How lucky I am to be
witness to such an historic
event, the first black man
to be nominated by a major
political party to be presi-
dent of the United States, "
she wrote in her convention
diary.
"I felt honored to be
there, standing there re-
membering how so many
Americans fought the fight
against civil injustice. How
happy I was for all those
people who have been push-
ing that rock up that hill for
decades."
Gardner, now director of
Support Services for Norfolk
County Register of Deeds
Bill O'Donnelt, was one of
four Quincy residents who
attended the convention as
delegates and volunteer.
She was joined by
Congressman Bill Delahunt,
Senator Michael Morrissey
ami Francis Orlando, volun-
teer for the State Democratic
Party and an aide to Senator
Morrissey.
Throughout the five day
gathering at Pepsi Center
and Invesco Field, Gardner
kept a convention diary of
her activities and emotions
as she rubbed shoulders
with the party elite.
By ALICIA GARDNER
Monday, Day One -
Breakfast between 7 and
9 a.m. I picked up my cre-
dentials for that night's con-
vention session at the Pepsi
Center.
The first morning's guest
speaker as former U. S.
Senator Gary Hart. I intro-
duced myself and informed
him that our mutual friend,
Paul Harold, had framed
and hung Senator Hart's
thank you note to Paul for
his and his wife's stay at
Paul's home on Martha's
Vineyard.
I reminded Senator Hart
that it doesn't get any bet-
ter than Martha's Vineyard
when vacationing. I never
miss an opportunity to put a
good word in for Quincy or
the state of Massachusetts.
You get asked all the time
where you are from and
I would say just south of
Boston, Quincy, the City of
Presidents.
I was amazed how many
people recognized it and
conmiented on the Adams
family. Another nice re-
mark 1 heard quite a bit was,
Boston ran a great conven-
tion in 2004, we loved the
city. It was nice to hear.
After breakfast Senator
Morrissey informs me that
we are going bike riding.
Free bikes were being of-
fered all over the city. Not
having been on a bike in 30
years, I wasn't quite sure
but it was a wonderful time.
Denver has beautiful bike/
pedestrian path along the
Cherry Creek; we rode out
to Invesco Field and back,
round trip was about five
miles.
The highlight of the
night was Senator Edward
M. Kennedy. What a great
surprise that he was there.
A very emotional event,
the true love, respect and
admiration for the senator
throughout the entire con-
vention hall was wonderful.
We ere in Massachusetts
love him but to see the re-
sponse from the rest of the
country's state delegation
was so gratifying.
T\iesday, Day Two -
Breakfast between 7 a.m.
and 9 a.m. I picked up my
credentials for that night's
convention session at the
Pepsi Center.
I saw Al Franken, who is
running for the U.S. Senate
from Minnesota. He's the
former comedian who used
to be on Saturday Night
Live. Someone's cell phone
went off and he commented
"That liver better be for
you."
A group of us then went
out to Golden, the original
state capital of Colorado
when it was still a territo-
ry. Its motto is "Where the
West Still Lives." It is also
the home of Coors Beer.
Unfortunately, the brew-
ery was closed to tours on
Tuesday and Wednesday,
but we found a great T-shirt
shop for all my non-political
family members who would
rather have a "Colorado"
shirt than an "Obama" shirt.
I didn't have to buy many.
That night at the con-
vention. Senator Hillary
Clinton made a great
speech. "No Way. No Hov
No McCain."
Wednesday, Day Three
- Breakfast between 7 a.m.
and 9 a.m. I picked up my
credential for that night's
convention session at the
Pepsi Center.
The morning's guest
speaker was former U.S..
Senator George McGovem.
This was a particular treat
for me because Senator
McGovem was the first man
I ever voted for at 18 years
of age for president of the
United States. At Invesco
Field on Thursday evening
I was able to tell him that
personally and have a pic-
ture taken with him.
After breakfast I did
some more "button" shop-
ping. I didn't find a button,
shirt or hat I didn't like.
It was a big afternoon.
We were going to see
Senator Hillary Qinton
at the Denver Convention
Center. II was a pledged
delegate to Senator Clinton.
The room was packed but I
persisted in getting close to
the podium. She thanked
all of us for our support and
then announced that she was
releasing us from our obli-
gation. She then informed
us that she had cast her vote
for Senator Obama. She was
gracious and she has a good
sense of humor as well.
At night, former
President Clinton spoke and
people would not stop clap-
ping and cheering for him..
Another great speech.
Thursday, Day Four
- Secretary of State Bill
Galvin was the morning's
guest speaker. Then it was
off to the Rocky Mountains
with Senator Morrissey,
Senator Harriett Chandler
of Worcester, Senator
Karen Spilka of Ashland,
and Representative Jamie
Eldridge of Acton.
We went about an hour
and a half outside of Denver
to Georgetown and went
through the Guanella Pass.
It was spectacular country;
the air was pristine; the sky
was a brilliant blue; a pic-
ture perfect day to go up
into the Rockies. I will say
that our Presidential Range
in New Hampshire may be
a bit smaller but it does not
take a back seat as to its
beauty and scenery.
Friday, Day Five -
The convention moved to
Invesco Field. I arrived via
the delegate shuttle bus.
There were no problems get-
ting in or finding our seats
on the field. Massachusetts
was left of the stage at about
the 10 or 15 yard line. It was
open seating instead of the
assigned seating for the first
three days of the conven-
tion.
I sat right in front of the
Dukakis family. I introduced
myself to the governor and
Mrs. Dukakis and reminded
him of our mutual friend,
Pat Toland. Pat and the gov-
ernor were good friends.
Then I had my picture taken
with the governor.
It was an incredibly gor-
geous night. When I looked
around the stadium, I saw
more than 70,000 people. It
made me feel very small but
at the same time very spe-
cial. How lucky I am to be
witness to such an historic
event, the first black man to
be nominated by a major po-
litical party to be president
of the United States.
I felt honored to be there,
standing there remembering
how so many Americans
fought the fight against civil
injustice. How happy I was
for all those people who
have been pushing that rock
up that hill for decades. It
truly was an experience of a
lifetime.

Federal Government Share Is $4 Million
Council Votes $1 Million For
Broad Meadows Restoration Project
City Councillors unani-
mously approved a $1 mil-
lion appropriation for the
restoration of Broad Mead-
ows, the 100-acre salt marsh
at the head of Town River.
James Fatseas, Chief of
Staff for Mayor Thomas
Koch, said that work should
begin in November with the
Army Corps of Engineers
heading up the project.
The federal government
will cover approximately $4
million in restoration costs
through a partnership agree-
ment with the city.
Under the agreement the
city pays 25 percent of the
costs while the federal gov-
ernment through the Army
Corps of Engineers pays 75
percent of the cost.
Ward 1 Councillor Leo
Kelly who has worked for
years with three mayors for
therevitalizationof the 100-
acre salt marsh said he was
delighted with Monday's
vote.
Kelly called the area 'the
most beautiful open space
anywhere," and outlined a
half dozen recreational ac-
tivities, such as canoeing
and kayaking, that could be
In addition, Kelly said
Broad Meadows is a place
where a person can "have a

On Joining
State Program
City Unions'
Insurance Vote
Deadline Oct. 1
By LAURA GRIFHN
City union members must
decide in the next seven days
whether or not to join the
state's health insurance pro-
gram, the Group Insurance
Commission known as the
G.l.C.
The annual deadline for
the decision is Oct. 1 . That's
next Wednesday.
"It could come down
to the last minute," Paul
Phillips, president of the
Quincy teachers' union,
said Tuesday, describing the
many factors affecting the
decision.
Phillips would not even
predict how the QEA will
vote Wednesday when the
issue is put to his 900 mem-
bers.
"If they vote no, it's all
over," Phillips said, refer-
ring to the 39 percent clout
his union carries in the deci-
sion.
However, if the teachers
do approve the G.l.C, then
a half dozen other smaller
unions, such as the poli-
cepatrol men's union, the
firefighters and the parks
department employees will
provide the decisive votes.
Those votes could be
days away. Some unions
have not even scheduled a
vote.
Proponents of the state
health plan claim it could
save the city $5 million an-
nually in employee health
insurance costs and save
employees themselves mil-
lions in premiums.
At the same time, skep-
tics question the savings
to the city, charge that the
changes will hurt the most
vulnerable, and that the
city's employees will lose
their voice in choice, cover-
age and payments.
City Councillors Monday
voted 8-1 to approve the
city's move to the G.l.C.
Several councillors said
their vote was necessary to
insure that employees could
approve the G.l.C. in the
next week.
Ward 6 Councillor Brian
McNamee viewed his vote
as "not an endorsement of
the G.l.C. (but) a procedural
way to let this move for-
ward."
City Council President
Jay Davis supported the vote
and a move to the G.l.C.
noting the millions in po-
tential savings for the city
in health insurance costs as

Facelift For Dunkin' Donuts

WORKERS REPLACE the roof at the Dunkin Donuts outlet at 95 Franklin St. The renovated
building will have more than a dozen new spaces for drive-thru customers who have been lining
up on Franklin Street in the past. Quincy Sun Photo/Laura Griffin

To Hear Neponset River Walk
Caffeine deprived com-
muters can rest assured that
their DunJcin Donuts coffee
stop on Franklin Street will
open again.
For a week, it appeared
that the Dunkin Donuts
building had been demol-
ished and nothing stood in
its place.
Dunkin Donuts will re-
open and Building Commis-
sioner Jay Duca expects that
the renovated building will
be much improved for cus-
tomers and for rush hour
drivers.
"They have a permit to
remodel it completely,"
Duca said, adding that con-
tractors are replacing the old
tar and gravel roof and raf-
ters with a new roof and re-
placing exterior brick walls
with glass windows to the
1971 structure.
"Basically, it will be the
same building," Duca said.
The most significant
change will be for the drive-
thru line, according to Duca.
He said the drive-thru queue
on the property will be in-
creased substantially "...to
at least 15 vehicles."
Until now, the drive-thru
lane snaked onto Franklin
Street slowing traffic, par-
ticularly in the morning.
Now, instead of two or
three cars in a line and the
rest on the street, there will
be more than a dozen on the
property.
Duca said that he be-
lieves the expanded space
on the property will ease the
traffic congestion, particu-
larly during the morning
rush.

57 J Million State-Of-The-Art
Quincy College Unveils
3 New Science Labs
Quincy College has un-
veiled three, new state-of-
the-art science laboratories
housed a Saville Hall, 24
Saville Avenue in Quincy
Center.
The laboratories, which
occupy 6,000 square feet,
are the culmination of a
year-long design and con-
struction project, costing the
college $1.3 million.
Each laboratory focuses
on specific areas of scien-
tific study, namely microbi-
ology-biology, chemis-try/
forensic science/physics,
and anatomy and physiol-
ogy. Space has been ear-
marked for future expansion
into clinical laboratory sci-
ence, a program scheduled
to be launched in the fall of
2009.
"In funding these labs,
the Quincy College Board
of Governors made a ma-
jor commitment to the de-
vel-opment of the college's
educational future. These
science labs allow for ex-
pansion m our science pro-
grams and provide natural
science students with first
class learning environ-
ments," said President Sue
Harris. ""We're very ex-
cited about the additional
learning opportunities these
labs, our strong natural sci-
ence faculty, and our new
Lab Coordinator can pro-
vide for our students-both
now and in the future."
The laboratories are de-
signed to accommodate
both traditional and virtual
scienctific experimentation
The wireless, computer-
equipped laboratories allow
students to brainstorm solu-
tions to physics problems,
observe cell animations,
and perform virtual dissec-
tions. A custom designed,
two-sided fume hood allows
students and faculty to ob-
serve experiments from two
vantage points.

dinator of Science Labora-
Boston Seeking Permits For

The Boston Conserva-
tion Commission will hold a
public hearing Wednesday,

ton City Hall to set wetland
conditions for repair work to
the Long Island Bridge.
The bridge, which spans
the bay between Boston-
owned Moon and Long Is-
lands, is accessible by land
only through the Squantum
section of Quincy.
The city of Boston Public
Works Department is gath-
ering permits for a future
project repairing the steel
superstructure and deck
of the 57-year-old bridge,
which is within the 100-foot
buffer zone of the coast.
The Conservation Com-
mission is empowered to set
conditions that would pro-
tect the water supply, prevent
pollution, control flooding,
prevent storm damage and
protect fisheries and land
containing shellfish.

Last week's state primary election may have been
an historic one.
In the wrong way.
Only 13.6 percent of Quincy 's 53,967 registered
voters actually voted.
That means 7,211 cast ballots and 46.756 stayed
home.
Of those voting, 6,624 were Democrats, 585 Repub-
licans, and two members of Working Families Party.
No Green-Rainbow Party members showed up.

have until Oct. 15 to do so to vote in the Presidential
election.

INCIDENTALLY, there are three referendimi ques-
tions on the Nov. 4 ballot that should help perk voter
interest:
State Personal Income Tax: Whether to reduce the
state personal income rate to 2.65 percent beginning
'I've never seen anything like it," says City Clerk Jan. 1 , 2009 and eliminate it on or after Jan. 1 , 2010.

Possession of Marijuana: Whether to replace the
criminal penalties for possession of one ounce or less
of marijuana with a new system of civil penalties.
Dog Racing: Whether to prohibit dog races on
which there is betting, effective Jan. 1, 2010.

OOPS DEPT: In last week's column I noted that
no vvoman has been elected mayor in
Quincy although four have tried.
And went on to mention that most
of the 30 men elected came out of the
city council.
Latest exception, I said, was Wil-
liam Phelan who ran as a second-year
school committee member in 2001
and upset incumbent James Sheets.
I guess I was so focused on the past that I forgot the
latest exception is really Tom Koch who upset Phelan
last year.
Koch was executive secretary to Sheets and headed
the Park Department but never served in the city coun-
cil.
Sorry about that, Mr. Mayor.

"A few local contests would have brought out a lot
more voters," says Shea.
Senator John Kerry and Governor's Councillor
John lannella, Jr., the only two Democrats in primary
contests, turned back their challengers.
The only two names on the Republican ballot were
Jeffrey Beatty of Harwich, running for the U.S. Senate
and Thomas Gorman of Dedham, candidate for Nor-
folk County Commissioner.
Shea was disappointed by the slim turnout but sees
the Nov. 4 Presidential election a big improvement.
George Bush and Al Gore brought out 72 percent in
2000 and Bush and Kerry 69 percent in 2004.
"I think it will be 72 to 75 percent in November,"

Scenes From Yesterday
"N
THIS IS A 1911 real photo postcard view of the Boston
Gear Works factory building at 14 Hayward Street in
Norfolk Downs. The saw tooth roof was a popular design
for factory buildings at the same time. It featured win-
dows for letting in light that could be opened for ventila-
tion. The first Boston Gear Works building on this site
was built in 1906 but it was completely destroyed by fire
in 1909. This building replaced it. In 1977, the portion of
this building to the left of the flagpole was demolished
but the firewall to its right remains the facade of the
office headquarters of Altra Industrial Motion, Inc., the
present owner of Boston Gear Works. The Boston Gear
operations are now located in Charlotte, N.C. To contact

Brett, Hannon
Exchange Mayoral
Campaign Barbs
By FRANK McCAULEY
Contenders Joseph E. Brett and Walter J. Hannon began
their stretch drive for the mayor's office this week, finng politi-
cal barbs at one another enroute.
And there were indications that
whoever wins on Nov. 2 Quincy may
end up with a full-time mayor.
Hannon. in a Quincy Sun interview.
disclosed: __^^^^^______
"I don't believe I would seek re-
election when my term (state representative) runs out"
Brett, also in a Sun interview, re-aftirmed his pledge to re-
sign his House seat if elected mayor and chided Hannon for
"leaving the door wide open" on the matter.
Hannon. a Republican who topped (11,109) the mayoral
field in the primary, and Brett, a Democrat (7,338 votes) dif-
fered sharply on voters and supporters crossing party lines in a
non-partisan city election.
McCORMICK ENDORSEMENT STILL LP IN THE AIR
Asked to comment on the election. School Committee Vice-
Chairman James F. McCormick, Sr., defeated in the primar>
election in his bid for mayor, said:
"The public has spoken. That's the end of it-like everything
else, there are other times."
"I am not ready to make any statement at this time," on the
matter of endorsing one of the two candidates in the final elec-
tion.
"I WILL RUN AGAIN," SAYS RITA ANDERSON
Mrs. Rita Anderson, 2 Shawmut Place, West Quincy, when
asked for a comment on the city primary election in which she
was defeated as a mayoral candidate, declared:
"I am very happy. It was encouraging since I am not known
and to be up against three candidates like I was-and I had only
one relative in the whole city-I feel those citizens who voted for
me voted for a particular reason."
Mrs. Anderson will not endorse either Waiter Hannon or Jo-
seph Brett, she said.

Sacred Heart Parish of
North Quincy-Squantum
recently concluded its sec-
ond Children's Choir Camp
with a performance of the
Biblical story of Joseph and
his brothers, told in narra-
tion and song by the partici-
pants.
The children worked on
singing as a unified chorus
with emphasis on breathing,
vocal sound production and
projection. Rehearsals fea-
tured 1 3 songs from Andrew
Lloyd Webber's "Joseph and
the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat."
Essentials of melody
and rhythm were experi-
enced through the us of
Boom whackers, a series of
graduated tone tubes that
produce a note by whacking
them on the floor, on a chair,
or even off an arm or a leg.
The youngsters took an
active part in preparing the
scenery for their closing
presentation by coloring
three line drawing panels
with varied hues of sidewalk
chalk. The panels depicted
Joseph and scenes from the
story.
John DiStefano, a pro-
fessor at MassArt in Boston,
created a "coat of many
colors" which was camper
wore as they read their parts
of the story narration to a
full house in the parish con-

All in attendance were
invited to a make-your-own

homemade theme cake after
the performance.
The week-long camp also
featured fun activities like
a liturgical scavenger hunt
in which the campers were
challenged to answer more
than 40 questions with clues
scattered from the choir loft
to the sanctuary to the lower
church.
Each day began with a
daily prayer; the Angel us
was held before each noon-
time meal; and an eve-
ning prayer was sung with
candles decorated by each
child. Children and leaders
attended Mass on Monday
and Friday at Our Lady
Chapel on Hancock St.

Howard Lotis, musical
director and liturgical co-
ordinator at Sacred Heart

QMC Offers Volunteer Opportunities
For Retired Healthcare Professionals
Between doctors, nurses,
aides, technologists, case-
workers and others, the
medical needs of patients
at Quincy Medical Center
(QMC) are clearly covered.
Sometimes, however,
patients, particularly those
in pain, need a little some-
thing more than medicine,
as simple as a kind word of
concern, to help them dur-
ing their stay.
That is why QMC's Pain
Management Task Force and
a group of specially trained
volunteers began making
rounds with the "Comfort
Cart." Part of QMC's Com-
passion in Action program,
the Comfort Cart is a por-
table resource that can been
wheeled to a patient's room
and offers a variety of items,
such as books, shawls, and

tapes, aimed at easing pain
and anxiety. The program is
currently recruiting volun-
teers, particularly those with
a healthcare background, to
support the program.
"We've found that many
patients seem to benefit
simply from having some-
one just spend some time
with them, and they don't
even take an item from the
cart. The cart has become
a vehicle to open dialogue
and connect with patients,"
says Laura Klint, RPh,
task force member. "This
is a perfect opportunity for
someone with a healthcare
background, such as retired
nurses, aides or therapists,
to volunteer in a one -on-one
capacity with patients."
Volunteers receive train-
ing and round with a staff
member before they begin
their "solo" visits. During
their rounds, volunteers
visit patients who have been
identified by the nursing
staff as needing a little extra
support. "We work closely
with the nursing and medi-
cal staff to determine which
patients will benefit most by
a visit," says Klint.
"The response from pa-
tients has been wonderful.
They are just so apprecia-
tive of the fact that someone
is stopping by just to see
how they are doing and if
they are comfortable."
The program was devel-
oped with start-up funds do-
nated by the City Hospital
of Quincy Corporation, a
private charitable organiza-
tion established to support
the Medical Center during
its former days as a public,
city -owned hospital. Since
the program began in 2007,
others have been inspired to
support the program with
other items needed to outfit
the cart.
For example, students at
Quincy High School sewed
a supply lavender eye pil-
lows, a group of Girl Scouts
delivered hand-made pil-
lows and South Suburban
Oncology Center has donat-
ed special sleeper chairs so
that patients' family mem-
bers can use them when
needed.
To find out more about
how to be a Quincy Medical
Center Comfort Cart Volun-
teer, call Laura Klint at 617-

John Quincy Adams
Re-Enactment, Tour At
First Parish Sept. 27
Jim Cooke will imper-
sonate John Quincy Adams,
Saturday, Sept. 27 at the
Church of the Presidents.
The performance enti-
tled, "John Quincy Adams,
A Spirit Unconquerable,"
will begin at 7:30 p.m. at
United First Parish Church,
1306 Hancock St, at 7:30
p.m.
Doors will open at 7
p.m. and refreshments will
be available. A tour of the
Adams' crypts will follow
the performance.
Tickets are $20 in ad-
vance and $25 at the door.
All proceeds will benefit the
restoration and maintenance
of this historic church.
Cooke will play Adams
at 70 years of age and por-
tray his achievements as a
JIM COOKE
United States congressman
until his death at 81.
During his final years,
Adams helped defeat the
'gag rule' developed by
Southern legislators, which
was aimed at preventing
debate on petitions against
slavery.
As a lawyer, Adams,
also, successfully defended
imprisoned Africans who
mutinied on the slave ship
Amistad.
Cooke won international
recognition for his portrayal
of Adams when he toured
Russia for the U.S. state
department in 2007 when
the countries commemo-
rated the 200th anniversary
of diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries.
For more than 20 years,
Cooke has, also, done solo
re-enactments of histori-
cal figures like Presidents
Calvin Coolidge and John
Quincy Adams.
Children's Choir Formed
At First Presbyterian Church
First Presbyterian Church
of Quincy has formed a
Children's Choir for all chil-
dren in the area in Grades 3
through 5.
The purpose of the choir
is to provide vocal and mu-
sical training, as well as
per-formance experience for
children not just from the
Church, but from the com-
munity as well.
The choir will be direct-
ed by Allen Thomas, former
Supervisor of Music for Hol-
brook Public Schools and
Director of Music at First
Presbytarian for the past 14
years, who has considerable
experience with vocal mu-
sic, particularly the training
and devel-opment of young
voices. He will be assisted
by Val Levarity, a retired
teacher from Quincy Public
Schools with over 30 years
experience with elementary
age children.
Activities or the year will
include a Christmas concert,
a spring drama/musical , and
performance on Sunday
mornings at First Presby-
terian, every 4 to 6 weeks.
As the choir grows, we will
be looking to perform at
community venues outside
of the Church. The Choir
rehearses on Wednesdays
from 5 to 5 p. at the church,
270 Franklin St., Quincy.
The program is free.
For more information,
call the church office week-
days between 9 a., to 2 p.m.
at 617-773-5575.

Former Boston Mayor
Ray Flynn was in "good"
condition at St. Elizabeth's
Medical Center Tuesday
a week after he collapsed
dur-ing a Theology on Tap
re-ligious discussion at Bad

Flynn, who turned 69 in
July and has been suffering
from melanoma or skin can-
cer, was about 30 minutes

blue containers memorialize
individuals who have lost

before the start of the Walk,
which begins at 9:30 a.m.
The service will be led by
Rev. Esther Bowen. QMC

aging prevention and early
detection of cancer and en-
hancing access to vital can-
cer screenings and services

60-MONTH NEW CAR LOAN
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Diapers likely clogged
the sewer system at the for-
mer Beechwood On The
Bay, Ward 6 City Councillor
Brian McNamee told fellow
councillors Monday.
McNamee suggested that
disposable "diapers going
into the system burned out
the pump" at the former
daycare center.
Whatever the cause, the
sewer system failed and can
not be repaired without a
new pumping station.
As a result. City Council-
lors Monday unanimously
approved a $300,000 appro-
priation for a new pump sta-
tion for the former Myles
Standi sh School on East
Squantum Street, North
Quincy.
The building which
housed the Beechwood On
the Bay community center
for more than decade will
reopen in November as the
city's senior center and ad-
ministration offices for the
health department.
However, sewer system
problems must be solved
before that occurs, accord-
ingto Brian Carlisle, Su-
per-intendent of the Water
De-partment, and Health
Com-missioner Drew
Scheele.
The sewer system for the
building has long since col-
lapsed and the pump failed,
according to Carlisle.
Carlisle said that, over
the years, the city has used
a "number of Band-Aids"
to ease the sewage problem,
but nothing has worked for
any length of time.
Scheele cited backups
and sanitary issues as did
Carlisle who described en-
vi-ronmental impacts from
the pump failures.
Ward 5 Councillor Doug
Gutro noted that the entire
$300,000 will be spent on
sewer improvements for the
one building which will be-
come a senior center.
Gutro said it was impor-
tant to track "how much
money we're spending (on
the new senior center)."
McNamee asked Jim
Fatseas, chief of staff for
Mayor Thomas Koch to
squelch rumors that a meth-
adone clinic will be opened
at the center.
Fatseas said the building
will house a senior center
and the health department
offices, "There will abso-
lutely not be a methadone
clinic."
Councillor Joseph Finn
also cited the high $300,000
cost of the pump for the one
building, "This is a pretty
significant cost."
Finn reminded council-
lors that "one of the great
advantages" of locating the
senior center at the former
school was the savings.
Finn asked that Fatseas
prepare a report on the
"true costs of conversion,"
and include sources of the
funds, such as a recent fed-
eral grant.
Carlisle said that the city
would have to repair the
sewer system for anyone us-
ing the building.

Thanks to a $30,000 grant
from the Massachusetts De-

Through the Bodies in

working out regularly at
the South Shore YMCA in
Quincy, using specialized
equipment designed for
people with physical limita-
tions.
The Department of Pub-
lic Health's "Resident Em-

the lease on a van (for the

program on a rotating basis.
"Although we do not
have scientific data, we
have seen a remarkable im-
provement in participating
residents' mood, behavior
and overall affect," said Su-
san Habchy, Hancock's Di-
rector of Behavioral Health
Services. "This is just an
incredible program for our
residents."
Bodies in Motion offers
adaptive exercise equip-
ment and knowledgeable
staff, enabling individuals
with physical disabilities to
get the best workout they
can. For example, a special-
ized exercise bike sends an
electrical current into the
rider's legs, stimulating the
muscles needed to pedal the
bike.
Sonia Scott, a wheel-
chair-bound Hancock Cen-
ter resident with multiple
sclerosis, is able to pedal
away and get the benefits of
an aerobic workout, which
would otherwise be impos-
sible.
Some Hancock residents
use the adaptive equipment
and others work out on the
standard exercise machines.
Hancock Center occupa-
tional therapist Pat Macken-
zie and Tony Beaumont, a
restorative aide, also make
use of the South Shore Y to
enhance the treatment pro-
grams of residents in need
of skilled rehabilitation ser-
vices.
Bodies in Motion has
been running for the past
year and Habchy is pleased
to report that the Hancock
Center will be participating
in 2009 as well. In addition
to the obvious advantages
health- wise, there are other
major benefits.
"The residents have an
absolute ball over there,"
said Habchy. "They just
love it!"

New Tourism Boost Seen
From 'John Adams' 13 Emmys
ByTOMHENSHAW
The mortal remains of
John Adams may have been
in his tomb for, lo, these 182
years but to Quincy he is the
gift that keeps on giving.
The HBO mini-series
"John Adams" swept up 13
Emmies over the weekend
and Mark Carey, executive
director of Discover Quincy,
says he expects the success
to spark another boost in
what's left of the tourist sea-
son,
"And the best is yet to
come," he said, "when the
mini-series goes on free TV.
Remember, HBO goes to a
limited audience. When it is
sold to broadcast TV, prob-
ably next spring, +everyone
can watch.
"I expect the effect of the
mini-series on tourism will
last three to five years."
Accurate totals won't
be in for a while but Carey
figures the number of visi-
tors to the Adams National
Historical Park probably
will hit 100,000 or more
with two months left in the
season.
"Even those numbers
don't include the ones who
were turned away because
they couldn't handle them,"
he said. "They were turn-
ing away as many as 100 to
150 a day in the midst of the
tourist season.
"This is what happens
all the time at Jefferson's
Monticelloand Washington's
Mt. Vernon but it's happen-
ing here for the first time.
"Even the people who
drove here from Albany or
Springfield and couldn't get
in stayed around for a while,
visiting First Parish Church
or Marina Bay and using the
restaurants and the stores."
Carey said he thinks of
the HBO mini -series' attrac-
tion to tourist in four phas-
es.
Phase One was the origi-
nal showing on HBO; Phase
Two was the release of the
DVD; Phase Three is the
23 Emmy nominations, 13
PAULGIAMATTI and Laura
Linney as Emmy-award win-
ners John and Abigail Adams
in the HBO mini-series "John
Adams."
of them winners; and Phase
Four will be the showing of
the seven-part series on free
broadcast TV
In the Emmy competi-
tion, "John Adams" itself
won as the best mini-series
LAURA LINNEY
as did three of its stars, Paul
Giamatti as John; Laura
Linney as Abigail; and Tom
Wilkinson, best supporting
actor as Benjamin Franklin
Other Emmies went to
writer Kirk Ellis and the
PAULGIAMATTI
work of members of the
technical crew -- art direc-
tion, casting, cmematogra-
phy, costumes, prosthetic
makeup, sound editing,
sound mixing, and special
visual effects.

ll^** Annual Quincy Medical Center
Cancer Walk Set for Sunday
Quincy Fire Department
Retirement Banquet Oct. 7
The ir Annual Quincy
Medical Center Cancer
Walk will be held Sunday,
Sept. 28 at Pageant Field in
Merrymount Park in Quin-
cy.
Registration begins at
8 a.m., and the four-mile,
non-competitive walk starts
at 9:30 a.m.
The QMC Cancer Walk
Committee is lead by Chair-
man of the QMC Board
of Trustees Bob Curry, of
Curry ACE Hardware, and
Honorary Chairman Hank
Bradley, director of Quincy
Veterans Services. Boston
Medical Center and Curry
Ace Hardware are present-
ing sponsors of the 2008
QMC Cancer Walk
"This is a great event for
the hospital and for the com-
munity," said Curry. "Last
year, approximately 1,500
people participated and
raised more than $201,000.
This year, our goal is to
raise $300,000 for the Cur-
ry Fund through corporate
sponsors, individual walk-
ers, walk teams and match-
ing gifts."
The Marie A. Curry Fund
at Quincy Medical Center
(QMC) was established in
1995 by the Curry family of
Quincy as a lasting, living
memorial to their wife and
mother who died of breast
cancer. Marie's family and
the City of Quincy' s May-
or's Commission on Wom-
en joined together in 1998
to create a walk to support
the Curry Fund. Nearly
$ 1 .5-million has been raised
for the Curry Fund since its
inception. Now in its 11'''
year, the QMC Cancer Walk
supports the Fund's mission
to:
• promote the early de-
tection and prevention of a
wide range of cancers;
• ensure that women and
men in our community who
have the need can access
free and potentially life-
saving cancer screenings;
• purchase state-of-the-
art medical equipment to
detect cancer; and
• fund cancer education
programs for caregivers.
The post-walk celebra-
tion at Pageant Field will
include lunch provided by
a variety of local restau-
rants, including Outback
Steakhouse and Chipotle
Mexican Grill of Quincy,
as well as a family-friendly
Safety and Health Fair or-
ganized in conjunction with
the Quincy Police Depart-
ment. The fair will offer a
variety of health screenings,
information and giveaways,
as well as demonstrations
by local, state and federal
law enforcement agencies.
There will be child car seat
installations and inspec-
tions, auto glass etching
(which can save up to 15%
on auto insurance), and free
fingerprinting and video-
taping through the Child
Identification Program
(MYCHIP) provided by the
Rural Lodge of Freemasons

BUNIONS
If you notice the base of
your larger toe sticking out,
you probably have a bunion.
The skin that covers the bun-
ion may be red and tender,
and wearing shoes can be
painful. The pressure from
the big toe pushing on the
other toes may actually force
the second toe to overlap
the third toe. Untreated bun-
ions can lead to bursitis and
even arthritis. Add bunions
to the list of problems that
can be caused by wearing ill-
fitting shoes, especially those
that are too tight in the toes.
Prevention is the best medi-
cine, so wear shoes that give
your feet enough space, and
avoid high heels. If bunion
pain is making it difficult to
walk, you may need surgery.
It is important that bun-
ions be recognized early and
evaluated by a podiatrist. We
can then offer suggestions
on controlling their cause so
that symptoms do not arise
or become more severe.
Recommendations may in-
clude exercise, a change in
footwear, orthotics, medica-
tion, and surgery. Let us do
what we do best - diagnose
and treat your particular foot
problems with compassion,
knowledge, and up-to-date
techniques and equipment.
Please call us for an ap-
pointment at 781-986-3668,
QUINCY MEDICAL CEN-
TER. Office hours are also
available at 999 North Main
St., in the Randolph Medical
Office Building, and Milton
Medical Building in Suite 221 .
P.S. More than half of
the women in America
have bunions.

Mums In Bloom At
Quincy Farmers' Market
24 Municipal Councilors
Attend MMA Meeting
The Fanners' Market is
blooming in the fall bronzes,
golds and bright maroons of
locally grown chrysanthe-
mums or "mums" and fall
and winter vegeta-bles, such
as apples, pears and butter-
nut squash.
Mums are considered
one of the most beautiful
fall flowers and the city, it-
self, has planted mums in all
its street planters and urns.
The colors are strik-ing,
highlighting the city's his-
toric sites.
All mums sold at the
Farmers' Market are grown
at Almquist Flowerland in a
field of hardy plants, quite
different from so-called
"garden mums." The plants
are grown just up to the top
ofPenn'sHill.
Garden mums normally
do not survive New Eng-
land winters, according to
an Almquist spokesman, but
these hardy mum plants do.
He continued, "As a lo-
cal business, we pride our-
selves on personal service
and are committed to serv-
ice that nurtures long-term
relationships that bring us
customers for life."
"Visiting the farmers'
market and buying locally
grown produce, flowers,
baked goods, fine skin care
products, herbal teas, goat
cheese or eggs benefit the
local economy," said An-
neli Johnson of the Farmers'
Market.
The Fanners Market op-
erates Fridays from 11:30
a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the John
Hancock Municipal parking
lot, off Chestnut Street and
near the Fours Restau-rant.
Holiday Cr afters' Show Dec. 6 At
Quincy Community United Methodist
The United Methodist Coffee will be avail-
Church will hold a Holiday able throughout the day and
Crafters' Show Saturday, lunch will be served.
Dec. 6, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Table reservations are
at the church, 40 Beale St., being taken on a first come,
Wollaston. first served basis. The cost
of an eight-foot table is
about $30 with electric out-
lets available.
Some two dozen city
and town councilors from
across the state met recent-
ly in Quincy for a regional
meet-ing of the Massachu-
setts Municipal Couacilors
Asso-ciation (MMA) at The
Tav-em at Granite Links,
Quincy.
MMA's Deputy Legisla-
tive Director John Robert-
son presented a state legisla-
tive update.
The 24 local legislators
also heard a presentation on
the 2008 Green Conmiuni-
ties Act from Scott Durkee,
Sustainable Development
Coordinator of the state's
Department of Energy Re-
sources.
Councilors attending the
event were able to share
their experiences and dis-
cuss the presentations with
the speakers.
'This was not only a ter-
rific opportunity to show-
case the City of Quincy, but
to personally benefit from
the collective wisdom of 24
city councilors representing
eight Massachusetts com-
munities, all of whom face
challenges similar to those
we face here in Quincy,"
said Ward 5 City Councillor
Doug Gutro.
Gutro was elected in
February to represent Dis-
trict 4 on the MMA Board
of Directors.
"The MMA is a tremen-
dously valuable resource
to all locally elected offi-
cials and a great advocacy
orga-nization on behalf of
mu-nicipalities," said Ward
3 City Councillor Kevin
Coughlin who, also, at-tend-
ed the forum.
Coughlin said the MMA
offers him great benefits as
other councilors share their
collective experiences.
"The importance of this
is highlighted when cities
and towns across the Com-
monwealth are facing so
many difficult challenges
to their very existence.
"Coughlin said.

Fire Prevention Week Oct. 5-11
Fire Prevention week will
be held Oct. 5 through Oct.
1 1 . The theme for this year
is "Prevent Home Fires."
This week was es-tablished
to commemorate the Great
Chicago Fire, a conflagra-
tion that killed more than
250 people in Oct. 1871.
The fire began on the 8th
while much of the damage
was sustained on the 9th,
100,000 were left homeless
while the fire de-stroyed
more than 17,400 struc-
tures.
According to legend, a
cow belonging to Mrs. Cath-
erine O'Leary kicked over a
lamp igniting the contents of
her bam. While historians
believe the fire started in the
vicinity of Mrs.O'Leary's'
bam, over time, some be-
lieve the cow has taken a
bad rap, adding doubt to this
legend.
In 1920, President Wood-
row Wilson issued the first
National Fire Pre-vention
Day proclamation, while
October 9th, the date of
the worst sustained dam-
age from this fire, is always
within the dates of obser-
vance for his week. Fire
Prevention Week is the lon-
gest running public health
and safety obser-vance on
record, (taken from a NFPA
Press Release)
The Quincy Fire De-part-
ment will observe the intent
of this week by hold-ing an
Open House at Fire Head-
quarters, 40 Quincy Avenue,
between 10 a., and 2 p.m. on
October 4. All are welcome
while there will be exhibits
and demonstrations of inter-
est for both adults and chil-
dren. We enthusias-tically
encourage all to at-tend
while various agencies will
be present to answer any
questions you or your chil-
dren may have.
I've frequently written
about our underlying opfi-
mistic wish that tragedy
can't find us. Our frustra-
tions as firefighters occurs,
where we have witnessed
the tragedy of fire, the dev-
astation, both in lives lost
and property loss, and real-
ize that it can. Through
edu-cation in general, and
through outreach programs
such as the upcoming open
house, we attempt to bridge
the gap between that opti-
misfic wish that says it can't
happen here, and the real-
ity of our experience which
conveys that it can, but this
is all you have to do to mini-
mize its occurrence or the
impact if it does.
Therefore, please join us
as we observe Fire Preven-
tion Week, be part of our
efforts to "Prevent Home
Fires." Come share in this
educational effort while
sharing in some lighthearted
fire department fun. The fire
apparatus will be on dis-
play for children. Sparky
will make an appearance as
well.
We are her to serve you,
while this effort is one more
attempt at doing so. Please
join us in this proactive ef-
fort towards a safer commu-
nity. We look forward to
meeting you, and sharing in
this day. See you on the 4th.

Conway Realtors Launches Tax Credit Program For First-Time Homebuyers
Jack Conway Realtors
recently launched a one-of-
a-kind program targeting
first-time homebuyers us-
ing the newly-announced
$7,500 federal tax credit.
In front of more than 300
managers and associates
packed into the Holiday Inn
Rockland, company Presi-
dent Dick Cahill told the
crowd Conway is the first
company locally to make
such a push surrounding the
recently signed federal leg-

Silent Leak
Can Damage
Foundation
Q±
have a finished
> basement in my
house that has stayed dry
through the years. Howev-
er, three years ago our
town was flooded in heavy
rains and so was the base-
ment It was drained and
repaired quickly. Last
week, though, I noticed a
big **blister" in the paint
on one corner of the base-
ment wall. I poked it and
water drained out. Do you
think the flood damage
wasn't totally repaired? —
Jaime C, Lowell, Mass.
A, If it's the first water
• you've seen in three
years, then the repair work is
not necessarily the culprit. I
do think there is a slow leak
near and maybe above
where you found that blister.
Head outside and check
the foundation on that side
of the basement, nearest the
blister. Are there any cracks
at the base of the wall or in
the foundation? Does water
runoff occur in that area? Is
there any vegetation grow-
ing right up against the foun-
dation?
Water runoff striking the
foundation direcdy will
eventually seep through. If
there are cracks in the area, it
will happen even faster. Veg-
etation growing right up
against the wall can develop
deep roots down which
water will trickle. Those
roots also can slowly cause
damage to the foundation,
over several years, just as
constant water runoff can.
Direct runoff away from
the foundation by extending
your gutter downspout. Dig-
ging a downward-grade
U"ench and filling with grav-
el will further protect the
foundation.
Remove plants that butt up
against the wall, and as
much root as possible; refill
the area with the same mate-
rial as the rest of the ground
surrounding the house (dirt,
gravel or concrete). Repair
cracks in the wall or founda-
tion, and check periodically
in case they redevelop.

ket with buyers and sellers,"
said Cahill. "Customers
need to know with mortgage
rates dropping, prices at low
levels and this new tax cred-
it, it's a great time to buy a
home."
The $7,500 tax credit for
first-time homebuyers is just
a part of the Housing and
Economic Recovery Act of
2008, signed into law by
President Bush this sunrmier
which provides $300 billion
of relief. It's a repayable tax
credit, available to first-time
buyers who bought between
April 9, 2008 and July 1,
2009, and who meet certain
income guidelines. It must
be paid back over 15 years
in equal installments.
Denise Leonard, chair-
man of the National Asso-
ciation of Mortgage Brokers
Government Affairs Com-
mittee, was one of the local
proponents of the legisla-
tion, and she spoke enthusi-
astically about the tax credit
to the Conway crowd.
"This will really help
out, and it's a great way to
get people into new homes,"
said Leonard. "The pendu-

lum is swinging back to the
side of the buyers, and this
is a helpful monetary incen-
tive."
In addition to Leonard's
explanation of the legis-
lation's benefits, and Ca-
hill's assessment of it for
the marketplace, Conway
Financial Services Vice
President Rosemary O'Neil
aimounced new initiatives
her group has for financing
first-time buyers.
"There is mortgage mon-
ey out there, and there are
a variety of ways we can
help first-time buyers," said
O'Neil.
The company also im-
veiled a plan for five first-
time homebuyers seminars

The In-Style In-Law Suite
I l;j\ill \ Mi
Si < IllIlK '. (
617-479-1000
(ARA) - The In-laws.
Often, nothing can scare a
person more than hearing
that they're coming to vis-
it. But as the years go by,
and your parents (or your
spouse's) get older, visits
become more frequent and
the thought of sharing a
home with them becomes a
welcome idea.
Three or more genera-
tions live together in 3.9
million American homes,
according to the 2000 U.S.
Census. A number of house-
holds consist of adult chil-
dren caring for aging par-
ents. But, don't just stick
Mom and Dad in the guest
room when the time is
right for them to move into
your home. Having a well-
designed in-law suite can
make sharing a household
much more enjoyable for all
parties involved.
"Adding an in-law suite
is a great idea, especially
for homeowners who want
to add extra space to their
existing home," says Laurie
Birko, marketing and com-
munications manager for
Creative Specialties Interna-
tional. "By thinking about
the design and amenities ag-
ing parents will need, you'll
have a universal space that
will be safe and accessible
not just for them, but for ev-
ery member of the family."
Keep the following tips
in mind when creating an
in-law suite that is both ap-
propriate and adjustable to
meet your family's needs:
Privacy Please
"Privacy is one of the
most important features to
consider," Birko says. " A
home that provides private
spaces for each generation,
as well as common gather-
ing spaces, is the best way
to make the new living ar-
rangements work." Loca-
tion is key, but try to keep
the in-law suite on the first
floor for easy accessibility.
However, creating a suite
on another level offers extra
seclusion. Also, if possible,
provide your in-laws with
a separate kitchenette. That
way they'll have a sense of
independence, but within
the comfort and care of your
home. A separate entrance
is also another addition that
can give your in-law suite
more autonomy. Just be
sure to check local building
codes to see if there ase any
restrictions before you begin
the remodel.
Custom-Built Baths
The bathroom is one of
the most difficult rooms for
older people to maneuver.
It has the potential to make
your in-law suite full of dan-
ger zones if you don't care-
fully plan. Some aging par-
ents may find the toilet seat
is too low to accommodate
their limited mobility and
puts unnecessary stress on
the legs, knees and back. An
elevated toilet seat increases
comfort and safety levels.
Home Care by Moen offers
a Locking Elevated Toilet
Seat that subtly comple-
ments the décor of
any bathroom, and locks
securely on round and
elongated toilet rims. Or,
if the bath is too far from
the bedroom in your in-law
suite, Home Care also offers
a new Premium Bedside
Commode for added safety
and comfort - right next to
the bed - just in case.
Standing for long periods
or slipping in the shower are
also concerns in the bath-
room for older adults. If you
don't want to break the bank
installing a built-in seat in
the shower, try Home Care's
new Premium Shower Chair.
It offers superior safety and
added conveniences in the
shower - all with attractive
styling. It has anti-slip rub-
ber feet that provide supe-
rior stability, as well as ad-
justable height settings. The
rubber-grip support handles
offer added ease and sup-
port when standing or sit-
ting, and a basket organizer
and handheld shower holder
help keep necessary items
conveniently close.
To prevent slipping, the
new Premiimi SeciveLock
Tub Grip lends a stable
helping hand for stepping
into and out of the tub.
The new design features an
easy-locking lever to ensure
a tight fit to most tubs with-
out harming the tub surface.
An ergonomically designed
handle features an anti-slip
grip to provide optimal sup-
port and comfort. Plus the
iimovative design offers
easy installation and remov-
al-no twisting motion and
no tools are necessary.
Versatility is Key
Just because you're plan-
ning for this extra space to
be a restful haven for your
parents, doesn't mean it will
always serve that purpose.
It's wise to remember that
since it may only be used for
a limited time, make sure it
can flex to other purposes
when it's no longer needed
as an in-law suite. Be care-
ful to not design a space so
specialized that it will im-
pair the future resale value
of your home. Perhaps it
will become a guest suite,
a home office or a master
suite, so look for stylish ac-
cessories and accents that
can help your space transi-
tion. But for now, as you're
plaiming for your in-law
suite, be sure to keep these
tips and products in mind to
keep Mom and Dad safe and
comfortable.

Five Home-Buying Myths
Beware of Inflated
Real Estate
Appraisals
If you're trying to refi-
nance your home, once
you've finished jumping for
joy over a high appraisal, siJ
back and consider the conse-
quences of taking out a
mortgage for the full
amount. The same can be
said for homebuyers making
an offer : When the appraisal
is much higher than you
expected, you need lo
beware.
The dilemma starts with
appraisers who are often
pushed lo inflate the value of
homes by lenders who make
more money on a higher
loan. The pressure on an
appraiser can be immense,
especially with fewer sales
to go around. Add in a cash
incentive to cooperate, and
you have inflated appraisals.
The majority of appraisers
are scrupulously honest, but
many of them have been run
out of business for refusing
lo inflate values.
The problems with inflated
appraisals come into play
should you ever want to sell
or refinance. Just when you
need to pull out cash in a
refinance, or to refinance
just ahead of a jump in your
adjustable- rale mortgage,
you could discover thai lliere
isn't any equity because you
owe more ihim the home is
really worth. Or if you try to
sell, you could end up sell-
ing for much less than you
owe. Worse case, you could
lose your home to foreclo-

sure.
If you run into a problem
down the road because of an
inflated appraisal, don't
look for much help from the
auihorilies. Because of fed-
eral regulations, some stales
have mechanisms in place lo
go after appraisers who rou-
tinely inflate the value of
homes, but for the most part
you'll get no satisfaction and
no money back.
Things to watch for:
• If the lender promises a
high appraisal, beware.
• If the appraiser works for
the lender, double beware.
• If you're told you're in
luck, that the ^q^praiser has a
break in his schedule and
can be at your house in an
hour, decline that appoint-
ment. Before the appraiser
arrives at your house, do an
online search for both the
appraiser and the appraiser's
company. Look for any
warnings or complaints.
Check online sources to try
to determine the real value
of your home or the one you
hope lo buy. Realtor.com is
one of the best, but also
check the sites of agenls in
your area.

(ARA) - As first-time
homebuyers grow curi-
ous about the home-buying
process, they often turn to
friends and family for ad-
vice about purchasing a
home. While these sources
can provide useful tips and
information, they also may
perpetuate some common
home-buying myths.
"While family and friends
may have the best intentions
when sharing their purchase
experiences, it is important
to make sure that first-time
homebuyers have accurate
information," says Brian
Lee, vice president and na-
tional sales manager for
ditech. a wholly-owned sub-
sidiary of GMAC Financial
Services.
There are many resourc-
es first-time buyers can use
for learning about the home-
financing process, including
attending local mortgage
seminars or researching on-
line. Well-known mortgage
lenders such as ditech often
have educational resources
and mortgage tools on their
Web sites.
Here are some common
home-buying myths:
Myth I; You need per-
fect gredit-
An individual's credit
score will significantly af-
fect his or her mortgage loan
approval and interest rate.
Credit scores may range
from 5(X) to 850. but the ma-
jority of scores are between
600 and 700. Fhe higher the
score, the more options you
will have when looking for a
mortgage. Along with your
credit score, lenders will
need to consider other fac-
tors before they approve a
loan. Carefully review your
credit report and immediate-
ly contact the credit report-
ing bureaus to correct any
errors. You will want your
credit report to be accurate
by the time you apply for a
mortgage.
Myth 2: Owning a home
is more expensive than rent-
In many markets, owning
can be as affordable as rent-
ing, especially when you
consider the tax advantages
of owning a home. Unlike
rental costs, which increase
over time, fixed-rate mort-
gages provide consistent
monthly principal and inter-
est payments for the life of
the loan. As you make pay-
ments, the money will be
applied toward the principal ,
increasing the equity in your
home over time. Historical-
ly, owning a home has been
one of the easiest ways of
building wealth in America
as home prices generally in-
crease overtime.
Myth 3: Lenders share
your personal information.
Your personal informa-
tion is protected by federal
and state privacy laws. Gen-
erally, lenders must get your
permission to share personal
financial information with
non-affiliates.
Myth 4: The mortgage
process is too long and com-
plicated.
With the right resources,
the process of buying a home
and obtaining a mortgage
can be simplified. Expect
an experienced loan officer
to review the home financ-
ing process with you, define
terms, and address concerns
to find the financing option
that's right for you. In addi-
tion, home lenders such as
ditech (www.ditech.com)
offer a number of online
resources such as payment
calculators, appraisal tools
and a glossary of common-
ly-used mortgage terms to
simplify the home-buying
process.
Myth 5: Lenders love to
make you wait.
Mortgage lenders dont
enjoy making you wait, but
It does take time to review
)our application. Although
some lenders may give you
a preliminary and condi-
tional pre-approval based
on the information provided
in an application, they will
need to verify this informa-
tion. This typically involves
confirming employment and
income, financial assets,
and assessing the value of
the home you're purchas-
ing. Other documents, such
as a payoff statement, may
have to be ordered as well.
Because lenders must rely
on the response time of third
parties, the process may
take longer than anticipated.
Ask your lender about what
to expect when you submit
an application and to keep
you informed of unexpected
delays.

HEALTH and FITNE6S
Project Bread's Plan For Better School Meals
byAiMhvaWyatl
M>S«S*f C>S«C,Si
Setting an
Example
Q, After years of inac-
• tivity, I now exercise
nve days a week, eat clean
and consider myself to
have a healthy lifestyle.
My very good friend visits
me before and after my
workouts, but will not join
me. She is overweight,
does not exercise and eats
poorly, and I am con-
cerned about her health.
How can I encourage her
to begin to exercise and
care about her health?
A, Living a healthy
• lifestyle is easier for
some people ihim for otiiers,
and it can be challenging to
have people in your life who
do not share your lifestyle.
The key is to continue to be a
gotxi example of living
healthy while finding ways to
be subtle and encourage your
friend lo adopt new habits.
As you may have found
out with your friend, you
have to allow for people lo
change when they are ready.
Encourage your friend with-
out becoming too pushy.
Share your stories of when
you first began to exercise
and how it took time for you
to adapt to a lifestyle of
exercise and eating well.
Share recipes your friend
would enjoy that are more
healthful than what she may
be eating. Just because your
friend has not yet decided to
embrace your healthy
lifestyle does not mean she
has not noticed the benefits
you have received from
your commitment.
Continue to invite your
friend to exercise when
you're doing a workout that
she can do successfully.
Walking aroiuid the block
while discussing the news of
the day can be a way to exer-
cise while visiting with each
other. Begin with a short
walk that your friend can
complete, and then gradually
increase the time or distance.
Another way to start the
prtx;ess could be finding a
fun race/walk for a charity
that you and your friend can
sign up for together and plan
a training schedule. Many
cities have 5k race/walk
events to raise money. Find
a cause that is important to
you and your friend and
begin to train for the race.
Most races are noncompeti-
tive and offer a light and
motivating environment
with novice and experi-
enced participants racing
together. This can be a great
way to get your friend mov-
ing for a cause and directing
her focus beyond her per-
sonal fitness status.
U.se your personal experi-
ence to find creative ways to
encourage your friend to exer-
cise and eat well. Remember
what factors played a role in
your moving from being msc-
tive to active, and incorjxjrate
those instances to help your
friend. Share sttmes of your
experiences and little tips to
make her journey easier and
realistic.
We would like for all of
our family and friends to
live a healthy and happy
lifestyle. Just as you made a
choice to make this a priori-
ty in your life, your friend
will aJso have lo personally
make this choice. Continue
to live a positive lifestyle
and be a great example to
your friend until she is ready
to make a change. In the
meantime, keep moving.
Always consult a physi-
cian before beginning an
exercise program.

While there is little debate
that fluoride significantly im-
proves the ability of teeth
to resist decay, there is the
possibility of getting too
much of a good thing. In fact,
when children get too much
fluoride, it can give rise to a
condition known as fluorosis
with its characteristic white,
blotchy tooth stains. Fluo-
rosis can occur from get-
ting too much fluoride from
drinking water, prescription
vitamins, and toothpaste.
Generally speaking, if the
fluoride level in drinking wa-
ter is one part per million,
children should not be get-
ting additional fluoride from
other sources. With this in
mid, parents may want to
call the local water compa-
ny and ask what the fluoride
level is, then discuss the in-

As school systems cope
with higher costs for food
and fuel. Project Bread,
Massachusetts' leading an-
tihunger organization, pro-
vides a new Better Lunch
Toolkit for food service di-
rectors.
The Better Lunch Tool-
kit ensures school meals are
leaner, leafier, and more col-
orfully nutritious.
Through Better Lunch,
developed in cooperation
with the Harvard School
of Public Health and the
School of Nutrition at Tufts
University, Project Bread
gives helpful guidelines to
combat childhood obesity
and nourish hungry chil-
dren. Project Bread's Better
Meals Initiative — with the
already-established Better
Breakfast Toolkit, as well as
Better Lunch and Market-
ing Healthy Foods Toolkits
— is intended to guide food
service directors in their
menu planning and product
ordering, as well as give
them strategies to help kids
embrace the change.
"People ask if the schools
can afford to serve healthier
food," says Ellen Parker, the
executive director of Proj-
ect Bread. "We believe they
can't afford not to. With
childhood obesity and type
II diabetes on the rise, all
of us will pay the price for
a low-income child's medi-
cal care down the line. Be-
yond the dollars and cents
argument, we have a moral
obligation to ensure that all
children get a fair chance
at a healthy and successful
life."
When schools invest in
the healthy food they serve
their students, the results
can show up in improved
academic performance,
more attentive classroom
behavior, and better lifelong
health habits. Says Parker:
"With our new lunch toolkit
we've worked out the most
nutritious, appealing, and
kid-friendly meals possible.
We've made an investment
in sourcing all the prod-
ucts and vendors for both
breakfast and lunch so that
a busy food service director
can work within a tight bud-
get. The Marketing Healthy
Foods Toolkit will help them
take the lead in making his
or her school food a model
of good eating.
"The chefs and food
service directors who have
helped us are professionals
who are passionate about
feeding kids well," con-
tinued Parker. "With these
toolkits and our growing
investment in locally grown
produce, we can bring the
snap and crunch of fresh ap-
ples and other produce into
the cafeteria while helping
food service directors stay
within budget."
Schools are beginning
to pay attention. The Bet-
ter Breakfast Initiative,
which began four years
ago with three programs in
Lawrence and Southbridge,
now boasts 22 low-income
schools in seven cities and
towns. Three Boston pub-
lic schools are now part of
a pilot program in which
Chef Kirk Conrad has
forsaken frying for heart-
healthy meals appealing to
kids. Chef Conrad educates
cafeteria managers about
healthier ways to prepare
foods such as adding fresh
herbs instead of relying on
heavy sauces. And through-
out the Framingham school
district, under the direction
of food service director and
chef Brendan Ryan, Project
Bread guidelines for Better
Breakfast and Lunch mean
students eat more fresh fruit,
whole grains, leaner cuts
of meat, and low-fat dairy
products.
Project Bread believes
school meals are fundamen-
tal to good nutrition because
schools provide the bulk of
calories consumed by chil-
dren and teenagers whose
families struggle to put food
on the table at home. Food
service directors have a
unique opportunity to create
access to nutritious foods
and help students develop
healthy eating habits at a
young age.
"We work closely with
food service directors," said
Elaine Taber, director of
Education Policy at Project
Bread. "We listen and tweak.
We understand that shifting
from high fat macaroni and
cheese to turkey wraps can
take a little internal market-
ing, but that kids will accept
and even become champi-
ons of the change. We also
understand the economics
of school food and therefore
have included cost cutting
strategies in our new lunch
toolkit. We know that im-
proving nutrition can hap-
pen even in today's econo-
my, and we're here to help
schools make the shift."
About Project Bread
As the state's leading an-
tihunger organization. Proj-
ect Bread has taken the lead
in advocating for nutrition-
ally enhanced school meals
for low-income children as
part of its mission to allevi-
ate, prevent, and ultimately
end hunger in Massachu-
setts.
Don't Let Election Stress Get The Best Of You
(ARA) - This presiden-
tial election seems like it
has lasted an eternity, and to
many people in the United
States, it is a critical one.
This has both good and bad
consequences.
On the one hand, interest
and participation is at an all
time high, as citizens take
seriously the responsibilities
that accompany the right to
vote. On the other hand,
intense candidate scrutiny
has passions nmning very
high and straining relation-
ships as people press for
their candidate. In addition,
many people are finding this
election cycle very stressful

as their emotions rise and
fall depending on the daily
polls and news coverage.
Dr. Patrice Alvarado, as-
sociate professor in clinical
psychology at the Argosy
University, Washington,
D.C. campus, offers a few
tips to help people manage
their passion, but let go of
the stress.
Dr. Alvarado recom-
mends:
* Get active.
If you find yourself
watching election coverage
hourly and worrying and ru-
minating about how things
are going, get active on be-
half of your party or candi-
date. Instead of just worry-
ing, go down to your local
coimty or precinct of^ce and
sign up to help canvass or
register voters. Make calls
from home based on lists
sent to you electronically.
There are many other things
to do including buy a bum-
per sticker or a yard sign, at-
tend a rally or donate money
to a candidate's campaign.
Becoming active and work-
ing with others on behalf of
a candidate will help combat
helplessness and promote a
feeling of empowerment.
* Get perspective.
When it comes to your
important relationships with
others, realize that party af-
filiation or candidate pref-
erence is a very minor part
of who a person is. Do not
let political preferences act
as a wedge between loved
ones, co-workers, life-long
friends, church members
and neighbors. Keep in per-
spective the many areas of
understanding , commonal -
ity and connection between
you and those close to you
and minimize the differenc-
es that are based on political
preferences.
* Don't talk politics at
work.
Since politics, like reli-
gion is often very tied with
our emotions, it is best to
avoid political argimients
with co-workers. Discuss-
ing politics in groups where
there are significant differ-
ences is one more way to be-
come divided from each oth-
er. It is often easier to realize
ways we are divided, but the
struggle of finding com-
mon ground is well worth
the effort because it results
in a positive workplace en-
vironment. Look for one or
two like-minded coworkers
to talk with individually at
limch, break time or on the
weekend to talk about poli-
tics. A general rule of prac-
tice is to avoid controversial
topics with larger groups.
* Be compassioiiate to
yourself.
Be kind to yourself and
turn off the television before
the point of election cam-
paign overload.
"For some, it may be best
to realize that this time is
and will be stressful and to
simply accept this as a prod-
uct of caring deeply about
our country and our world,"
Dr. Alvarado said. "Lastly,
remember it will all be over
in November."

Raiders both got in the win
column this past weekend
with shutout victories over
Plymouth South HS and
Sharon HS, respectively.
Quincy ( 1 -2 overall) took
care of Plymouth South

fensive work and two long
touchdown passes firom
quarterback Lance Peterson
to wide receiver Anthony
Raddatz.
The Peterson-Raddatz
combination struck first in
the second quarter with a 20-
yard scoring strike that gave
the Presidents a 7-0-half-
time advantage. This combo
put Quincy up 13-0 in the
third quarter when Peter-
son found Raddatz open in
the end zone for a 27-yard
touchdown pass.
Kicker Max Devoe was
l-for-2 on point after at-
tempts.
The first victory of the
season for Quincy also
marked first-year head coach
Bill Reardon's first win as
head ball coach at QHS.
North Quincy (1-1 over-
all) rebounded from a 24-0
loss at the hands of Scitu-
ate HS in the season-open-
er with a resounding 28-0
thrashing of Sharon HS last
Saturday.
Running back Brian
Donaghey scored on a 13-
yard touchdown run in the
first quarter, a score that
would hold up until the sec-
ond half.
In the third quarter, NQ's
Pat Watkins scored on a 48-
yard TD run and Joe Vail-
pando added to that score
with a late quarter 22-yard
TD run. At the end of three
quarters, the score was 21-0
North Quincy.
Terrance Staley capped
off the scoring with a fourth
quarter 9-yard TD run.
Shea Olesseyi was suc-
cessful on all four of his
PAT attempts.

A Job Well Done
On Sunday, Sept. 14,at approximately 8:50a.m., Officer
Ryan Donnelly was dispatched by communications along
with Officer William Laner-
gan to Sacred Heart Church
for a call of an unwanted male
in the church. The caller said
that the male was disturbing
the mass by dancing in the
aisle and sitting on the altar.
Upon Officer Donnelly's
arrival Jie met with two pa-
rishioners on the steps who
confirmed the male's actions
and that their attempts to
convince the male to leave
were unsuccessful . Officer
Donnelly walked into the church and found the pre-des-
cribed male sitting on the altar in a chair. Approximately
40 parishioners were seated waiting, while the priest and
his entourage were at the back of the church waiting to
reclaim the altar.
Officer Donnelly started to walk down the aisle and as
he neared the altar, the male suspect stood up and started
to walk towards the side door. Officer Donnelly instructed
the suspect to stop. Instead of stopping, the suspect wal-
ked at the officer. The suspect was asked why he was on
the altar and he responded, "worshipping."
Officer Donnelly, believing the suspect to be drugs,
told the suspect the staff at the church wanted him to lea-
ve. The suspect said, "Why do 1 have to leave, and I am
not leaving." The officer advised the suspect to go outside
with him and talk about the situation. Since the suspect
did not budge. Officer Donnelly attempted to escort him
out of the church and this was when the suspect pulled
away and began swinging his arms.
The officer was able to grab hold of the suspect's arm
briefly, but then the suspect broke loose and struck the
officer in the chest area. Officer Donnelly ordered the
suspect to stop and turn around. The suspected retorted.
"#$%'^ you and I'm not turning around."
When the suspect failed to obey the order, the officer
drew his pepper spray and ordered him once again to turn
around. The suspect then repositioned into a fighting stan-
ce and said, "What do you think - I've never been sprayed
before. " He then took a step forward toward the officer
and was subsequently sprayed with a one second burst
of pepper spray. The spray caused the suspect to become
disorientated and Officer Donnelly took the opportunity
to try handcuffing the suspect.
Officer Lanergan arrived and assisted m getting the
uncooperative suspect out of the church and into the crui-
ser. Due to his violent nature, the suspect was transported
to the station via the police wagon.
Officer Donnelly then interviewed witnesses who said
the suspect initially walked down the aisle, then began to
sing and dance, ending up at the altar. The mass was held
up due to the bizarre behavior of the suspect.
The suspect, a Quincy resident, was charged with di-
sorderiy conduct, resisfing arrest and assault and battery
on a police officer. A check on his criminal record showed
he had numerous incidents of assaulting police officers.
It was unfortunate that such an incident would occur in
a church but the suspect gave the officer no choice.

Squantum Seaside Gardeners
Daylily Planting Project Saturday
The Seaside Garden-
ers of Squantum will hold
the 10th anniversary of the
Daylily Planting Project of
the Squantum Causeway
at noon, Saturday, Sept. 27
at Nickerson Legion Post,
Squantum.
The planting portion of
this project began on May 30,
1998 when over 200 people
participated in the daylong
event and planted 5000
daylilies.
Prior to the planting,
Sally Erickson had raised
concerns to club members
about the neglected Squan-
tum Causeway in 1996. The
Seaside Gardeners member-
ship agreed to seek approval
from city officials for the
beautification project.
The process took two
years and included meet-
ings with then Mayor James
Sheets and City Council-
lor Bruce Ayers as well as
appearances and meetinga
before the Quincy Conserva-
tion Commission, the DPW
and the MDC. Included in
the planning and design of
the project were representa-
tives of Marina Bay Associ-
ates and landscape designer
Mary Smith.
At the time, there were
only 15 active members of
the club so many additional
helping hands were need for
the thousands of plantings.
Thanks to help through radio,
television and newspaper
publicity as well as direct
mail and personal flyer drops,
over 200 people volunteered
for the planting event.
Seaside Gardeners no
longer have the assistance
of all 200 "Friends of the
Squantum Causeway" but
the lilies still bloom in abun-
dance, thanks to volunteers
from the Norfolk Country
Sheriff's office.
These volunteers maintain
the Causeway twice a year
with bed cleaning and pre-
paring for the summer and
winter seasons.
All volunteers are invited
to attend the celebration, in-
cluding those who have been
continuing the effort.

City Unions' Insurance
Vote Deadline Oct. 1
FIREFIGHTER'S FILL THE BOOT for the Muscular Dystrophy Association at the Quincy

Baldock, Tom Gannon, and Any Smith look on. The Credit Union kicked in $1,000 for the boot

Council Votes $1M For
Broad Meadows Restoration Project
Cont 'd From Page I
"He has literally given a
lifetime to ecological pro-
jects like this and he has
been a relentless supporter
of this project."
Walker said Kelly
checked on the Broad Mead-
ows project at the mayor's
office almost every week.
He also cited Con-gressman
William Delahunt's as a
"tireless advocate for this
project in Washington."
Fatseas introduced the
issue Monday, outlining the
efforts by Koch and his two
predecessors. Mayor Wil-li-
am Phelan and Mayor James
Sheets.
The council approved
$1,025,207 with appro-
pria-tion firom the follow-
ing ac-counts, $450,207
from the Westlands Res-
toration, $75,000 from the
Quarry Hills Oversight and
$500,000 from the Stabili-
zation Fund.
In 2006, then Mayor
Phelan called the Broad
Meadows Restoration "one
of the most exciting projects
in our city's history."
He described the area
as a 100-acre phragmite-
infested, mosquito breeding
wasteland behind the Broad
Meadows Middle School
and Quincy Youth Arena.
Cont 'd From Page 1
well as substantial savings
to employees.
Councillor Joseph Finn
cast the lone vote opposing
the move, stating that he
did not intend to influence
employee votes and that
the council could meet be-
fore next Wednesday if the
unions approved the G.I.C.
"1 don't want to be in the
position of having to vote in
the affirmative or negative
until they (union members)
have their opportunity."
Finn said.
If a majority of employ-
ees approves the move to
the state plan, city employ-
ees will be covered by the
G.I.C. for a minimum of
three years beginning July
1st.
If not, the city must wait
another year for a vote.
In order for Quincy to
join the G.I.C, 70 percent
of the city's employees must
approve the decision. As the
largest union, the teachers
are a pivotal vote.
The city can't join with-
out their approval as they
account for 39 percent.
Steven Monahan who
represents the city 2500 re-
tirees and 10 percent of the
employee vote told coun-
cillors Monday that he will
vote to join the GJ.C.
"This is a win-win situ-
ation," said Monahan who
noted that retirees' spouses
and dependents are guar-
anteed coverage under the
G.I.C.
"We've had some knock
down, drag out fights,"
Monahan said of the more
than dozen citywide meet-
ings on the issue. "It hasn't
been easy."
In addition, Carol Block
who heads the supervisors
union (S.E.I.U.) said her
membership, also, approves
the G.l .C with a 1 .02 prrcent
impact.
Other union leaders who
spoke Monday criticized the
rushed timing of the G.I.C.
decision-making again this
year and the fact that the
city still has not agreed to a
P.E.C., a official employees'
committee representing and
bargaining health issues for
all city employees.
"One of the biggest
negatives is our collective
bargaining (rights) will be
taken away," Ernie Arienti,
President of the firefighters'
union told council members,
as did Joe McArdle, presi-
dent of the parks department
employees union.
"We're giving up our
right to collective bargain-
ing." Said McArdle.
Lt. Tim Sorgi who heads
the police Superior Officers
Union told councillors that
the city shouldn't be try-
ing for 70 percent approval,
"the city's goal should be to
get as close to 100 percent
(as possible)."
"I don't think we're there
yet," said McArdle.
"We wanted to have a P.E.C
in place, "McArdle said,
echoing a criticism by other
union leaders, including
Dominic Venturelli, presi-
dent of the Quincy Public
Employees Association.
Venturelli applauded
city leaders for their efforts
but said, "I think the PEC
should be formed first."

Cityy Unions Reach Agreement
Koch Sees $4-5M
Savings In Health
Care Insurance Pact
By LAURA GRIFFIN
It might have been Black
Tuesday for the rest of the
country but not for Mayor
Thomas Koch as Quincy be-
came the largest city in the
Commonwealth to join the
state's health insurance pro-
gram, known as the G.I.C.
Koch cited a $4 to $5
million financial savings for
the city Tuesday as he and
14 labor leaders formally
signed three agreements
binding the city and its 4626
employees and retirees to
the state's health insurance
program.
"With the rest of the
world crumbling around
us, this is a happy financial
day for us," Koch said after
the signing ceremony in the
mayor's City Hall office.
Joining the state insur-
ance plan was especially op-
portune this year, said Koch,
adding that the financial
"notices we're getting from
the state are not pretty."
Koch credited a coopera-
tive effort between city offi-
cials and union leaders who
held more than 20 meetings
in the past months.
' 'Thi sisal andmark agree-
ment, and it shows what
happens when we all get in
a room, roll up our sleeves,
and work toward common
ground," said Koch.
"Everyone is fully aware
of the tough times looming
ahead, and this will be a
huge boost for our employ-
ees and our taxpayers."
According to Koch, the
state plan will not only save
funds for the city but em-
ployees could save as much
as $4 million in premiums.
At this time, the city is
paying some $42 million in
health insurance costs for
employees and retirees.
At the formal signing
Tuesday, Koch and 1 5 union
leaders signed three docu-
ments:
♦ An agreement to join the
state plan
♦ An agreement to of-
ficially form a Public
Employees Committee
or P.E.C, a bargaining
unit representing all
city employees and re-
tirees
♦ An agreement for a $300
annual salary increase
for employees (Retirees
will receive an 8 percent
increase in Medicare
payments over several
years.)
Under the plan. Quincy's
employees will join the
274,000 state and city
employees and retirees.
already enrolled in the
G.I.C. or Group Insurance
Commission.
According to G.I.C. pro-
ponents, it is those numbers
in the hundreds of thousands
that give the G.I.C. clout in
negotiating premiums and
payments for its member-
ship and keep costs down
for the state and cities and
towns.
City councillors approved
the state insurance program
at their Sept. 22 meeting
and 14 unions subsequently
voted yes with the Quincy
Educators" Association vot-
ing yes first on Sept. 24.
Also approving the mea-
sure were unions repre-
senting Library, City Hall
Supervisors, the firefighters.

Connolly, Chief Justice of
District Courts, and Judge

Justice.
After Judge Mulligan

fice, Christopher's mother,

ceremony.

Albanian President Welcomed To City
By LAURA GRIFFIN
State and city officials
joined the Albanian com-
munity Saturday when they
offered a warm welcome to
Albanian President Bamir
Topi as he visited Alba's
Restaurant, Quincy Center.
Mayor Thomas Koch
said it was an honor for the
"City of Presidents having
a president drop by" and
he was especially happy for
Alba's owner Leo Keka, "a
proud Albanian who runs a
good restaurant here "
While Topi's visit to the
United States centered on
observing and celebrating
the 100"* anniversary of the
Albanian Orthodox Church,
the Albanian community
had even more reasons to
celebrate.
Topi used his Quincy vis-
it for the historic announce-
ment that Albania had been
accepted as a full member of
NATO, the North American
Treaty Organization.
"As we speak, the United
States has signed all the pa-
perwork to make Albania
a full member of NATO,"
Topi said after describing
the great debt his country
owes the United States.

Have all the great local banks disappeared?
Absolutely not! We're Colonial Federal
Savings Bank - an independent local bank with
no plans to merge. We keep things simple and
we treat customers right. For example:
We don't make you open multiple accounts
to get our best deals. We don't make you give
us your life savings to get a great rate on a CD. If you have a question, you talk
to us - not some out-of-state call center. And most of our people have been
with us for years, so they know what they're talking about. We offer every
banking service from old-fashioned Christmas Clubs to state-of-the-art online
banking, free checking, mortgages, business
banking and more. We've been part of the
South Shore community since 1889. And we
think it's our job to make it easy for you to bank
with us. Had it with big banks? Come see us!

His Mission Accomplished
FRANK McCAULEY proudly displays
a sign announcing the completion of
his 20,000-mile walking goal, which he
started Jan. 1,1997.
Mission Accomplished.
Frank McCauley has reached his 20,000-mile
walking goal. And still walking on.
It took him;
he says, 11
years, eight
months and 16
days to do it.
(He's so meticu-
lous; we thought
he would have
it right down to
the exact minute
and second.)
Anyway, he
reached that
milestone Sept.
16 when he
completed a
two-mile walk
from his Manet
Avenue, Houghs
Neck home around Post Island Road and back.
McCauley didn't start keeping track of his mileage
until Jan. 1,1997.
But he started his walking in 1973, which means he
has actually walked more than those 20,000 miles.
He has averaged four to five 16-minute miles a day
and has done some distances walking for charity. In-
cluding the Jimmy Fund Walk over the tough Boston
Marathon 26.2-mile course, raising $34,000 to help
fight cancer in children.
Those official 20,000 miles are something like
walking from Quincy to the North Pole or to Califor-
nia seven times.
McCauley is giving some thought to taking on a
new challenge: 25,000 miles, equivalent, he says, to
walking around the Earth at the Equator.
"I'm not sure I'll try it," he says. "I think I could
reach 25,000 miles in two and a half years, depending
on my health and the plans of the Good Lord."
McCauley, who turns 79 in December, says walk-
ing has spared him knee and hip surgery and other ail-
ments many seniors face.
He recommends you give it a whirl.
G
INCIDENTALLY, if you like Quincy political his-
tory, McCauley has it. And interesting trivia, too.
His book "A Political History of Quincy" published
Historical Society To Conduct
Foliage Tour Of Quabbin Area
in 2000 accurately covers HI years from 1889 when
Quincy became a city to Mayor James Sheets' sixth
term inaugural in January 2000. Sprinkled with inter-
esting nuggets. Like, did you know:
John Quinn was the longest serving city councillor
,with 24 years.
Jim Sheets served
the longest as a ward
councillor represent-
ing Ward 4 for 16
years.

on to hold another
record: 12 years (six

The Quincy Historical
Society will conduct a fo-

Massachusetts Wednesday,
Oct. 15, the bus leaving the

8:30 a.m.
The cost is $55 per per-

person for non-members, in-
cluding lunch of roast pork
loin or roast turkey at the
303-year-old Salem Cross

The first stop will be at
the Oakwood Farm Christ-
mas Bam in Spencer, which
houses a unique boutique of
Christmas collectibles.
A guide at the Quab-
bin Reservoir, the source
of Quincy 's water supply,
will relate the story of how
four complete towns were
displaced to create the reser-
voir and wildlife preserve.
After lunch the tour will
take in the Brookfield Ap-

terms) as mayor under Plan A.
Amelio Delia Chiesa served 12
years as mayor, eight under Plan A
and four under Plan E. (Under Plan
E a city manager ran the city and the
mayor was the ceremonial head and
actually a city councillor.)
Paul Harold was
the top vote getter
for councillor at-large in 1977 with
21,243. George Burke was second
with 20,741 and Arthur Tobin third in
1975 with 20,453.
Tobin was the longest serving city
council president with eight years
from 1970 to 1977. Council rules now
limit the president to two one-year terms.
James Mclntyre polled the highest number of votes
for mayor with 22,034 in 1965. Delia
Chiesa holds the runner-up spot with
20,131 in 1961.
And McCauley is the only per-
son in the city's history to be elected
to all four municipal offices: Ward
councillor, councillor at-large, school
committee and mayor.
There's a lot more tidbits where
they came from.

READY FOR ANOTHER pet peeve? How about
motorists who speed through red lights in front of the
Hancock Cemetery trying to catch the light at Granite
Street while it is still green. (Be careful stepping off
the sidewalk.)

An Open Letter From Quincy Babe Ruth League, Inc.
In the interest of assist-
ing players and their fami-
lies understand the status of
Babe Ruth Baseball in the
City of Quincy, I am writing
this letter.
Effective Feb. 3, 2009
Quincy Babe Ruth League,
Inc. (QBRL) will be the only
organization in the City of
Quincy that will be a holder
of a charter from Babe Ruth
League, Inc. As of Feb. 3,
2009 no other organization
in Quincy will be chartered
or recognized by Babe Ruth
League, Inc. as a chartered
Babe Ruth baseball league.
In a letter dated Aug.
25, 2008 from Mark Ma-
tanes, State Commissioner
of Eastern Mass Babe Ruth
Baseball, Mr. Matanes
awarded the Quincy Babe
Ruth charter to QBRL pro-
vided QBRL met the fol-
lowing conditions: (i) have a
minimum of 48 players reg-
istered; (ii) field a minimum
of four teams; and (iii) all
returning players and play-
ers who tried out to make a
team.
As of Oct. 1,2008 QBRL:
(i) has approximately dou-
ble the minimum amount of
players required to register;
(ii) plans to field a minimum
of eight teams for the 2009
season; and (iii) all return-
ing players and new players
trying out will make a team.
All the conditions of Mr.
Matanes' letter have been
met; hence, QBRL effec-
tive Feb. 3, 2009 will be the
sole organization in Quincy
awarded a charter from Babe
Ruth Baseball League, Inc.
Due to an administrative
oversight both QBRL and
another Quincy organiza-
tion hold charters from Babe
Ruth League, Inc. effective
until Feb. 2, 2009. Mr. Ma-
tanes' letter serves to elimi-
nate this duplication.
In connection with the
award of the charter. New
England Babe Ruth League
has awarded the 2010
15-year-old Babe Ruth New
England Regional Tourna-
ment to QBRL as the host.
The winner of the Tourna-
ment will advance to the
Babe Ruth World Series.
QBRL welcomes all
players from ages 13-15
who have not registered to
attend another tryout on
Oct. 19 and 19, 2008 at 9:30
a.m. at Adams Field. Note
that in order to be eligible
to tryout for the 2010 re-
gional team; players must
register with QBRL for the
2009 season. Players who
move into Quincy after reg-
istration closes for the 2009
season are not subject to this
requirement.
All 13-year olds will play
in a 13 -year old Prep League
along with playing on their
league teams.

Ruth League, Inc.
Praise For Koch On GIC Health Plan Acceptance
The recent news that
the City of Quincy's public
employees voted to join the
state-run Group Insurance
Commission health care
system is good news for the
City of Quincy, for the city's
public employees and for
the city's residents.
The GIC health care
plans will begin July 1 , 2009
and should offer savings of
$5 million in the next fiscal
year. Kudos to Mayor Tom
Koch for his role in mak-
ing this historic switch to
the larger state pool of pub-
lic employees. A year ago
teachers went out on an il-
legal strike. Since then there
had been an adversarial rela-
tionship between the teach-
ers* union and City Hall.
The mayor's ongoing ne-
gotiations with the teachers'
union worked. Both sides
reached agreement.
Recently, several Quincy-
ites had criticized the mayor
for forgiving a large part of
the fine levied on that union
for illegally striking. How-
ever, the mayor wisely did
so to seemingly help break
the logjam. Mayor Koch
properly praised the city's
teachers and gives them "the
credit" for "helping us stay
viable as a city."
As a state employee
since 1972, 1 believe joining
the state's GIC plan not only
saves money for taxpayers
but also gives city employ-
ees options for their health
care at an affordable cost.
Now, however, is the
time for Mayor Koch and
the city's police officers to
work out their issues. An
adversarial relation hurts
everyone in the city.
Time to put the past in
the past.

World War II Posters Exhibit Opens At Library
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Radios blared news of
World War 11 and newsreels
at the movie theaters showed
American troops marching
across Europe and ships tak-
ing strategic Pacific Islands
one by one on their way to
Tokyo.
In their own way, the
bright, colorful and startling
World War 11 posters played
a key role, both as another
medium and a morale boost-
er. Chattering subway
passengers were warned that
"Loose Lips Sink Ships," in
a postershowing a U.S. Navy
battleship sinking.
Billboards carried the
same stark warning as well
as paintings of dark shadows
and the statement, "He's
watching you" or "Keep
Him Goose-Stepping" with a
caricature of a Nazi soldier.
Americans got multiple
messages on silence, work
and savings with popular
posters recommending that
they grow their own food,
"Work. Fight. Sacrifice," and
"Buy War Bonds."
In an effort to attract
female workers to defense
plants, one poster portrayed
a handsome Gl and a pretty
girl with the hair curlers of
the 1940's wrapping her
hair.
"My girl is a WOW Girl,"
says the poster's soldier
about the corps of Women
Ordnance Workers.
Visitors to Thomas
Crane Public Library, 40
Washington St., Quincy
Center, can now view doz-
ens of the original World War
II posters, thanks to Harold
Crowley, a member of the
library Board of Trustees and
President of the Friends of
the Library.

"We must have 60 post-
ers," Ann McLaughlin,
Library Director, said, not-
ing that Crowley donated the
original World War posters
that he has been collecting
for the past decades
McLaughlin said the li-
brary also will be show-
ing a collection of Norman
Rockwell's World War II
illustration as well as memo-
rabilia from library patrons,
such as ration stamps.
The poster exhibit is being
presented in conjunction with
the library's current World
War 11 program which in-
cludes a film and discussion
series currently underway on
six consecutive Tuesdays.
The panels in the Coletti
Reading Room will feature
American and British post-
ers as well as Quincy photo-
graphs and memories of the
war years.
Next Tuesday, Oct. 7,
Professor Dan Breen of
Newbury College will lead
a discussion entitled, "The
Home Front."
Breen, a professor of his-
tory at Newbury College, has
previously presented library
programs on World War 1 and
the Great Depression.
" He's extremely knowl-
edgeable. He puts history in
context, makes it come alive,
" Megan Allen, Assistant
Fontbonne Academy is
Proud of Jennifer DeLuca '05
Jenn DeLuca is a senior at the College of the Holy Cross
double majoring in Spanish and psychology. She has served
as a Resident Assistant, Advertising Editor for the Holy
Cross newspaper, and wrote the first daily blog for the
Holy Cross website. This past summer she spent working
on campus at the Residence Life Office.
"Fontbonne Academy prepared me for college intellectually,
socially and spiritually. Fontbonne's rigorous curriculum,
though daunting at times, made the transition to the
challenging course load at Holy Cross seamless. Also,
being involved in numerous groups at Fontbonne laid the
groundwork for me to become highly involved and readily
take on leadership roles at Holy Cross. Fontbonne taught
me to embrace my spirituality and to stay aware of the
needs of others and the role that I can play in making a
difference."
Director, said of Breen's
presentations.
He, also, talks about how
history is relevant to what's
happening today," Allen
said.
And that's very important,
according to McLaughlin.
"It's important now be-
cause so many of the World
War II veterans are dying,"
said McLaughlin of efforts
to preserve history.
"Everybody needs to leam
something, hopefully, from
history," said McLaughlin,
adding that it's important
"to honor sacrifices people
made."
McLaughlin has invited
anyone with recollections
of the war years to submit
a blog to the library site on
World War II.
Individuals need not have
fought in the war, but may
describe experiences on
the homefront during those
years.
"This is the first time we
asked people to participate."
McLaughlin said of personal
narrations and loans and gifts
of memorabilia.
According to the library's
World War 11 site, 16.1 mil-
lion Americans served in
World War 11 and fewer
than three million are alive
today.
The site, also, notes that
approximately 1200 World
War 11 veterans live in
Quincy.
Persons interested in sub-
mitting information or blogs
should access the library
World War II site or call 617-
376-1301.
The October programs in-
clude the following films and
discussions on World War 11 .
All begin at 7:30 p.m.
SILENCE MEANS SECURITY was one slogan used to warn
Americans that talk of troop or Naval movements could be
overheard by enemy spies in the United States. Library Di-
rector Ann McLaughlin who, with her staff, is preparing an
exhibit of World War II English and Amerian posters and pho-
tographs at Thomas Crane Public Library, 40 Washington St.,
Quincy Center.

Recycling In The Park
Is 420-Pound Success
Mental Health Exhibit At City Hall Today
The "Recycling in the
Parks" trial program, which
was begun in July, has al-
ready collected 420 pounds
of recyclable material in less
than three months.
The recycled mate-
rial will be turned in for
cash, said the DPW's John
Sullivan, while at the same
time removing 420 pounds
of trash from the city's waste
disposal expense.
A win-win situation on
all fronts, said Sullivan, not-
ing that citywide the total
solid waste disposal stream
is down 1,110 tons and re-
cycling is up 64 tons under
"Single Stream."
The "Recycling in the
Parks" trial program consist-
ed of placing blue 55-gallon
recycling drums with pink
ribbons at Pageant Field,
the Sailing Program, Adams
Field and the Fenno Street
basketball courts.
The program was initiat-
ed by the volunteer Quincy
Recycling Committee with
logistics and manpower sup-
plied by the Department of
Public Works and the Park
Department.
The work was greatly
enhanced by the donation
of $490 from Marina Kelly,
a member of the Quincy
Environmental Network,
n memory of her mother,
Virginia, who died of breast
cancer in 2006.
The money went to pay
for steel lids and biodegrad-
able liners.
The success of the trial
program encouraged Kristen
Powers, executive director
of Parks and Cemeteries,
to extend it to Veterans
Stadium during the high
school football and soccer
seasons.
Plans are also underway
to include the recycling bar-
rels at special events during
the winter months.
The Quincy Recycling
Committee will meet
Wednesday, Oct. 15, at 7
p.m. in the DPW commis-
sioner's office at 155 Sea St.
to discuss further recycling
programs.
Some of those programs
are increased recycling in
the schools, condos and
apartment buildings; col-
lecting ink cartridges and
toner for cash, a no idling
city ordinance; and a tour of
the Recycle America facility
in Avon.
For further details on re-
cycling, call John Sullivan

Quiney Fire Deparment
Risky Behavioral Patterns
I'd like to take this
opportunity to explain
what 1 specifically mean
by behavioral patterns that
place us at a higher risk with
fire, while conveying a few
examples here as well.
Years ago, I must have
had a discussion with my
mother in-law discouraging
her from her habit of placing
combustibles, newspapers
specifically, on the stove
top. At the time she had
an electric stove within a
small working kitchen and
apparently using that space
was convenient.
After our discussion she
discontinued that practice.
Months later she became
aware that she accidentally
left a burner on one day. She
returned home to discover it
so, and later conceded that if
she had continued her habit
of using the stovetop as a
counter, she would have lost
her home.
In this instance, she had
a behavioral pattern where
she placed combustibles
onto potential ignition
sources. She then had to
consciously remind herself
of the risk in doing so in
order to break that habit, she
did, and she saw the fruits of
that effort when one day the
ignition source, a stovetop
burner, was left on and
unattended. Simply put, this
is an example of successful
proacfive fire prevention.
Some effort was applied
at changing a habit, and
consequently a behavioral
pattern was changed, and a
tragedy was averted. It is a
success story.
Do I personally practice
everything I preach? I will
tell you this; no matter
how many bundles I arrive
home with after being at
the supermarket, whether
paper or plastic, none go
onto a stovetop if counter
and table space are full. I
won't knowingly leave the

property if the cloths dryer is
left on either. I see choosing
not to do so as a positive,
proactive behavioral pattern
changed where I've seen to
many dryer fires during my
career.
What are some other
risky behavioral patterns?
Statistics tell us a great deal.
Smoking while lying on a
couch or on a mattress is
an invitation for disaster. A
common scenario and the
leading cause of home fire
deaths. To eliminate such
a practice is a step toward
a safer home and one's
personal welfare.
Leaving cooking
unattended is the most
prevalent cause of home
fires. Another habit worth
looking at if you can relate
with doing so in your own
home. Loading seasonal
appliances onto power strips,
which are not made for the
types of electrical current
drawn by air conditioners,
or space heaters for that
matter, is a risky pattern.
Leaving candles

tell you something. Grilling
on decks and porches rather
than doing so further away
from your house is placing
your property at risk.
Can you think of any
practices that place you at
risk? Any scenarios that
place combustibles too close
to potential ignition sources,
or where ignition sources
are left unsupervised?

1,000 Defy Rain To Do Their Part
QMC Cancer Walk Raises
$200,000 For Curry Fund
COLORFUL UMBRELLAS were the order of the day as the cancer walkers sloshed their way
over the four mile route from Pageant Field to Wollaston Beach and back.
Some 1 ,000 intrepid
walkers, squishing through
some puddles and sidestep-
ping others, defied the rain
and cold to raise close to
$200,000 Sunday in the
11* annual Quincy Medical
Center Cancer Walk.
The funds raised benefit
the Marie A Curry Fund, a
permanently endowed fund
at QMC which provides free
screenings and education to
the community regardless of
ability to pay.
"It is so wonderful to see
such a strong demonstra-
tion of support from our
community," said Dr. Gary
Gibbons, president of QMC,
who made the four-mile
trek from Pageant Field to
Wollaston Beach and back.
"And donations are still
coming in from those who
were unable to attend the
walk because of the in-
clement weather, so we are
thrilled that this is shaping
up to be our most successful
fundraiser ever.
"We are overwhelmed by
the generosity of our com-
munity, which is helping to
ensure that residents of our
community can get high
quality cancer care right
here in Quincy and raise
awareness about early de-
tection."
Since its inception the
QMC Cancer Walk has
SPIKE THE CLOWN helped to raise the spirits of the walkers
when they most needed it on a dreary Sunday afternoon.
raised more than $1.5 mil-
lion to support the fund.
More than 80 teams par-
ticipated in the walk under
a colorful array of umbrel-
las and rain gear, including
families, local businesses,
scout troops and students
from several high schools.
After the walk, partici-
pants were treated to face
painting, henna tattoos, mas-
sages, games and an array of
food donated by a variety of
local business firms.
They included Chipolte,
Outback Steakhouse, China
Pearl, as well as many lo-
cal pizza shops and Dunkin'
Donuts stores.
Entertainment was pro-
vided by DJ Suzie Cue and
Max-Q Productions while
the Freemasons conducted

cation) program.

Albanian President Welcomed To City
Cont'd From Page 3
Keka's daughter, Madi-
son, 4, wanted to dip into
frosting but, waited along
with her brother. Christian,
for Topi to return.
As his little country
struggles to convert to de-
mocracy, it was fitting that
President Topi met Ameri-
can citizens bom in Albania
and American citizens of
Albanian descent who told
stories Saturday of thriving
in the American democracy.
Ervin Kulenica, 30, said
that God told him to leave
Albania ten years ago.
"I showed up on the
shores with $120," said Ku-
lenica, likening his arrival
to those landing on Ellis
Island. He knew no one. "1
started from scratch."
For years, he worked as a
bus boy at Pier Four owned
by the late and famous Al-
banian, Anthony Athanus,
then completed his degree
in electrical engineering at
Boston University. He now
works as an engineer, is
married and lives in Quincy
with his wife, a journalist.
Others, too, had stories
Saturday of working hard
toward success in America.
"We're out of the coun-
try since 1989," said
Robert Sholla who owns
Polygraphix Printing on
Federal Avenue.
Edmond Celo who owns
Cela's Restaurant, Hancock
Street, left Albania in 1995.
Back in the 1980's and
1990's when they immi-
grated, Albania was shut off
from the world and Ameri-
can passports were stamped
prohibiting travel to two
countries, China and Alba-
nia.
"Albania was closed
to the world from 1946 to
1997," said Ron Zooleck
whose grandfather Thomas
Zooleck, then 16, immi-
grated to the United States
in 1916.
Ron Zooleck was a for-
mer president of the South
Shore Chamber of Com-
merece.
On Saturday, Dorian
Alba said, "We were 50
years in communism, the
worst communist country in
Eastern Europe. If you say
the wrong thing, they shoot
you."
In the past decade, Alba-
nia has undergone tumultu-
ous change as the county
inches from a closed and
poor society toward democ-
racy and prosperity.
Zooleck discovered his
large Albanian family of
some 60 relatives about ten
years ago. Since then, he
has trained Chambers of
Conunerce in the area and
returned periodically to visit
the new found relatives that
he never knew existed.
"Every time we go back,
it's better and better, more
businesses , more companies .
We see more people stay-

ing, developing condos on
the Adriatic." Said Zooleck,
describing the beauty of the
Albanian coastline.
Celo, also said that he's
seen ". . .a lot of changes for
the good. The country's got
freedom."
"I go back visiting," said
Kulenica. "It's the most
beautiful country with miles
and miles of (untouched
shoreline)."

phy of John Adams.
"It is really a good thing
for the City of Quincy and

A Job Well Done
On Saturday, September 20, 2008, at approximately
6 p.m.. Officer Matt Patten
was dispatched to the Gil-
bane Construction site on
Huntley Road to investigate a
reported break to the site. Of-
ficers Steve Kelly, Mike Du-
ran and Detective John Menz
arrived on scene first and had
a male suspect detained.
The security guard told
the officers he was patrolling
on the Coddington Street
side of the construction site
when he heard a loud noise,
which reassembled a mo-
tor vehicle crash coming from the opposite side of the
yard. Upon his arrival, the guard saw that the gate that
was closed was completely destroyed and hanging from
the hinges.
Immediately after seeing the gate, the guard saw a
male suspect operating a large aerial lift traveling north
on Woodward Avenue away from the construction site.
Knowing this piece of equipment belonged to the GIL-
BANE Construction Company and was located inside
the fenced area, the guard ran after the lift and was
able to stop the suspect approximately fifty feet away
from the gate. The guard ordered the suspect to shut the
machine off, which he did.
When the guard asked the suspect what he was
doing, the suspect said, "I'm going for a test drive."
The guard ordered the suspect off the machine and
phoned the Quincy police. It appeared that keys were
left in the ignition of the lift. The suspect, a 27 year
old Quincy resident, was charged with "Larceny and
Malicious Destruction to property." Video surveillance
cameras captured the action and will be used in court.
Q
A JOB WELL DONE ... .On Sunday, September 2 1 ,
2008 at 6:40 p.m.. Officers Matt Patten and Mike Duran
were dispatched to Father Bill's Place for an out of con-
trol male. Officers' Patten and Duran arrived on scene
and spoke with staff, who were pointing at a male
with a red shirt in front of Fratellis Bakery. They stated
that the male suspect had just thrown a brick through
a large glass window located in the front of the build-
ing, shattering the glass everywhere. Officers' Patten
and Duran stopped the suspect and informed him of the
accusations of throwing a brick through the window.
The suspect retorted, "I didn't throw a brick through the
window - 1 threw 2 bricks because they wouldn't feed
me". The suspect, a 57-year-old homeless person, was
arrested and transported to the station where he was
charged with "Wanton Destruction of Real Property."
G
A JOB WELL DONE .... On Saturday, September
20, 2008 at midnight, Lieutenant John Steele was in
the Fuji Restaurant with Officer Dave Coletti. As they
walked out they observed a male at the comer of Han-
cock and Cliveden Streets kicking Lieutenant Steele's
marked police cruiser. The male was facing away
from the cruiser as he gave nimierous back kicks to the
doors. The Officers ran over to him and inunediately
handcuffed him and placed him under arrest. When
asked why he was doing this, the suspect said, "I'm just
having a bad night - that just got worse." There was vis-
ible damage to Lt. Steele's cruiser, which was photo-
graphed for court purposes. The suspect, a 26-year-
old Dorchester resident, was charged with "Malicious
£>amage to a Motor Vehicle ." Nice Work !

Selling Your Home In A Buyer's Market
(ARA) - It's a buyer's
real estate market, so every
home seller needs to know
how to price their home cor-
rectly. Price your home too
high, and buyers will look
at other houses. Price it too
low, and you risk losing
money.
To price your home cor-
rectly, you need to be savvy
about your local real estate
market. Understanding the
market will help you set an
asking price that will com-
pete favorably against other
comparable homes. It's easy
to do if you just follow these
simple steps:
1. Know the Competi-
tion: Visit real estate web-
sites and drive through
your local area to search for
homes for sale that are simi-
lar to yours in size, number
of bedrooms and bathrooms,
lot size and square footage.
Educate yourself about their
asking prices and, especial-
ly for condos, calculate the
price per square foot. Trulia.
com will do most of this
work for you and allows you
to print out a list of compa-
rable homes, but you'll also
want to visit Realtor.com
and ForSaleByOwner.com
to get a more complete list
of available homes on the
market.

Clearing Up Mold
Q.Our first floor
• recently was flooded
aunng a period of heavy
rain. We've since cleaned
up, dried out all the furni-
ture and replaced the area
rugs (there are no carpets
on the first floor). Howev-
er, there is a mold smeii
throughout the house. I
thought we had taken care
of all the wet areas. Any
ideas? — Tamara C,
DeBary, Fla.
A, Water damage can be
• lough Co completely
repair. You've dried out your
floors and the furniture
appc;u-s dry, but there may
be some hidden areas of the
house that haven't been
addressed.
Double-check your furni-
ture: Moisture could have
been wicked up through the
cloth all the way through the
padding. If the furniture has
a wood frame, the wood
beneath the padding may
have stayed wet despite the
cloth drying out. Additional
drying sessions may be
needed, or you can contact a
furniture restoration special-
ist for lips.
The walls themselves may
also be culprits. Check the
base of the wails as high as
the water went — if there is
wallpaper covering the area,
peel back a one-fool section
of the paper to see the dry-
wall beneath. Drywall (aka
shcetrock) is susceptible to
mold after .severe flooding.
deck any area of your
home that doesn't see much
traffic, such as the crawl-
space under the house, the
garage, storage closets and
so on. Look for standing
water or excess moisture,
and dry out those spots.
Finally, check your air
conditioning and ventilation
system — the outside unit
may have been flooded and
not dried out completely, or
mold may be present inside
the vents. An HVAC con-
tractor can help clean the
system.
Visible, surface mold can
be quickly removed by wip-
ing with a rag dipped in a
half-and-half solution of
bleach and water (wear rub-
ber gloves, goggles and dust
mask while doing this).
However, if mold has set in
to drywall or wood paneling,
that section of drywall or
paneling must be replaced.
Meantime, place a dehu-
midifier on your first floor to
reduce the overall humidity
and retard growth of mold
spores.

2. Visit Open Houses:
Now that you know what's
on the market, visit as many
open houses as you can in
order to find out how your
home compares to others.
Your goal is to learn as much
about those homes as pos-
sible, such as upgrades and
renovations to the kitchen,
bathrooms and bedrooms.
3. Learn About Recently
Sold Properties: Your next
step in educating yourself
about the local market is
learning how much homes
have sold for in the recent
past. Home sale informa-
tion is public information
and can be found a number
of ways. Your county clerk's
office and/or local town hall
can provide you with this
data, but the Internet has
made the task even easier.
Trulia.com and Zillow.com
each have a "Recently Sold"
feature that will list all infor-
mation about properties that
have sold near any given ad-
dress.
4. Get a Starting Point:
For a simple, cost-effective
way to get a ballpark range
of how much your home is
worth, consider getting an
Automated Valuation Model
(AVM). Similar to a real
estate agent's Comparative
Market Analysis, an AVM
will compare your home to
similar nearby recently sold
properties. The AVM won't
know if your home has an
upgraded kitchen, finished
basement or new roof, etc.,
but it will give you a sug-
gested range to price your
home. The AVM will also
provide you with a list of
nearby recently sold proper-
ties. An AVM tool is avail-
able at http://www.forsale-
byowner.com/appraisal .
5. Evaluate Your Re-
search: Now that you have
information about homes
currently on the market, data
on recently sold properties
and a price range, you have
all the data you need to com-
pare your home to others in
your neighborhood and local
area. Evaluate the informa-
tion you have learned and
ask yourself how your home
stacks up with the others. Be
honest. What condition is it
in and how does in compare
in location, features and as-
pects like a remodeled mas-
ter bathroom?
6. Live in the Now: One
of the biggest mistakes sell-
ers are doing in today's mar-
ket is pricing their home at
price points of one, two or
three years ago. The na-
tional median home price
has dropped more than 15
percent from April 2007 to
April 2008 (in markets in
CA, FL and AZ the median
home price has fallen by
more than 20 percent!), and
those that price their home
too high will just see it sit on
the market. The homes that
are selling today are those
that are priced competitive-
ly to other homes are on the
market, providing buyers
with the sense that they are
getting "a good deal."
7. Set the Price: The time
has come. You now have a
complete picture of your
real estate marketplace. Set
the price using all the in-
formation you've learned
through the above steps.
Congratulations! You
have reached a major mile-
stone in your home selling
process. Not only have you
arrived at an asking price,
you have become an ex-
pert in your local real estate
market. Prospective buyers
will be impressed with your
sense of knowledge and
honest assessment of your
home's value, and you'll be
able to conununicate about
its strengths and weaknesses
as compared to other homes
in your neighborhood, town
and area.

How To Improve Your Home's Indoor Air Quality
(ARA) - There's been
a lot of attention focused
lately on the role indoor air
pollution plays in our abil-
ity to live a healthy lifestyle.
In fact, over the last several
years, a growing body of
scientific evidence has in-
dicated that the air within
homes and other buildings
can be more seriously pol-
luted than the outdoor air
in even the largest and most
industrialized cities.
The problem is so sig-
nificant, the Environmental
Protection Agency currently
lists poor indoor air quality
as the fourth largest envi-
ronmental threat in the Unit-
ed States. EPA studies show
that levels of air pollution
inside the home are often
two to five times higher than
outdoor levels.
The problem is due in
a large part to efforts to
make homes more energy-
efficient. New homes have
been built increasingly
air-tight during the past 15
years. Remodelers are tight-
ening them up as well with
new windows, caulking and
insulation to prevent cool air
from leaking out in the sum-
mertime and warm air from
escaping during winter.
Synthetic building materials
used in green building can
release harmful chemicals
into the air. Dust and mold,
and fumes from common
household items like air
fresheners and scented can-
dles add to the problem.
The result is an increase
in the number of indoor pol-
lutants that release gases or
particles into the air. They
are making thousands of
people sick every year. But
there are some simple steps
you can take to protect your-
self and your family.
Here are some of the most
common indoor irritants and
how to deal with them:
Pollutant: Wet or moist
walls, ceilings, carpets and
furniture, poorly maintained
humidifiers, dehiunidifiers
and air conditioners.
Health Effects include
eye, nose and throat irrita-
tion, shortness of breath,
dizziness, lethargy, fever
and digestive problems. Can
cause asthma, humidifier fe-
ver, influenza and other in-
fectious diseases.
Solution: Empty water
trays in air conditioners, de-
humidifiers, and refrigera-
tors frequently. Clean and
dry or remove water-dam-
aged carpets. Install and use
fans vented to outdoors in
kitchens and bathrooms.
Pollutant: Cigarette
smoke
Health Effects: Can cause
eye, nose, and throat irrita-
tion, headaches and lung
cancer, and may contribute
to heart disease. Homes with
one or more smokers may
have particle levels several
times higher than outdoor
levels.
Solution: Do not smoke
in your home or permit oth-
ers to do so. If smoking in-
doors can't be avoided, in-
crease ventilation in the area
where smoking takes place.
Open windows or use an ex-
haust fan.
In the past, many people
were reluctant to install
vent fans because they were
noisy and annoying, but
technology has come a long
way. The Panasonic Home
and Enviroimient Company,
for example, now offers the
WhisperGreen line of venti-
lation fans that are not only
quiet, but up to 460 per-
cent more energy efficient
than minimum Energy Star
requirements. They have a
revolutionary DC motor rat-
ed for continuous run, and
are equipped with a Smart
Action motion sensor that
activates when someone
enters the room they are in-
stalled in. Some models are
even equipped with night
lights.
"By using simple, afford-
able solutions, consumers
can contribute to environ-
mentally conscious build-
ing and, more importantly,
protecting themselves from
harmful indoor air pollut-
ants," says Victor Flynn, the
company's National Mar-
keting Manager.

Get Your Home
Ready for Old
Man Winter
Now that many parts of the
counUy have had a ta.slc of
the coming winter, it's a
good time to give your home
a final check before cold
weather settles in.
• If you haven't had an
annual inspection on your
furnace, have it done before
you're depending on it on a
daily basis. At the very least,
change the filter and buy a
few spares.
• Windows cause some of
the biggest heal losses in a
house. Check for drafts
(hold a candle in front of the
window and look for flicker-
ing) and install "invisible"
pla.stic sheeting or put up
insulated drapes. The sheet-
ing is especially gcxxi at
blocking drafts, instead of
allowing the cold air to flow
to the floor, as drapes will.
• If you have a fireplace
you won't be using for heat
with an insert, consider
blocking it so (hat all your
heat doesn't go up the chim-
ney. As heat rises, more cold
air is drawn into the house.
• Consider installing a pro-
grammable thermostat that
will raise the temperature
only when you're going to
be home.
• Use ceiling fans on slow
reverse speed to move warm
air off the ceiling and down
into the room.
• An additional layer of
insulation in the attic, cither
blown or rolls, will help
keep the heat in the living
levels. Insulate around the
access hatch, loo.
• A space heater can be a
good source of temporary
heal for a small space if you
don't want to heat the whole
house — for example, while
watching TV in the evening.
If you plan to buy a space
heater, do your homework
and study the different
types: convection, radiant,
tower, rotating, fan forced,
electric, kerosene, oil filled
and others. Safety can be a
serious issue with many
types, such as kerosene,
while others are known to
consume a lot of electricity
for the amount of heat they
produce. Before )ou buy.
check online reviews for the
model you're considering.
Look at Consumer Report
for Ociober 2007 as a place
to start.
• Check wall switches and
outlets for drafts on exlcrior
walls, and install insulation
pads.
• Check your dryer vent at
the outside of the house. If it
doesn't close completely
when the dryer isn't run-
ning, you can end up with
cold Hoors and frozen pipes
in your laundry room.

Too Tired to
Exercise
Q:
, After a long day at
iwork I am exhaust-
ed and too tired to exer-
cise. I know I need to do
some type of exercise, but I
am not sure what I can do
being so drained. How can
I start exercising even
though I am tired?
A, Hectic lifestyles can
• often leave you feel-
ing as if you are too tired to
exercise; however, a lack of
exercise may be adding to
your fatigue. Research has
shown that not only can
exercise help fight fatigue, it
also can help increase ener-
gy levels and improve sleep.
Low-intensity exercise
such as walking at a steady
but comfortable pace is a
great place to start. Walking
just a few times a week to
start can begin to increase
your energy levels and
allow you to be less tired
throughout your day. Be
patient and begin to incor-
porate moderate exercise
into your schedule.
Fighting the urge to skip
the gym or deciding not to
exercise can be a challenge
at first; however, the more
you begin to add exercise
into your schedule and
begin to see results, the
more of a habit it will
become. Participating in
reguliir exercise is the key,
and forming these habits
may take tune.
Begin with an activity you
enjoy, and start slowly.
.Many exercisers have found
that although they may have
fell tired at the start of their
workout, by the end they
feel more energetic and
alert. Set aside time in your
schedule and try to stick
with the plan. The more
your body experiences and
becomes accustomed to
exercising, the more you
can adapt to new expended
calories and the good stress
on your body.
litis same effect has been
linked to improvements in
sleep quality among people
who work out. In studies,
regular exercisers have
experienced increased feel-
ings of alertness throughout
the day after recording
improved quality of sleep.
They attribute this to an
ongoing exercise program
several limes a week.
The results of regular
cxcrci.se have many bene-
fits, with the increase in
energy being a great perk.
Be sure to check with your
physician to be sure your
fatigue is not due to a med-
ical condition, and once
cleared, remember again to
start slowly. Taking small
steps toward beginning to
exercise will allow your
body to change over time.
Push through any obstacles
that will keep you off u-ack
or discourage you from
sticking with your exercise
program.
Always consult a physi-
cian before beginning an
exercise program. If you
have a fitness or training
question, write to Andrea in
care of King Features Week-
ly Senice. P.O. Box 536475,

ing to a recent study by the
Workj Health Organizatkxi's
(WHO'S) cancer agency, us-
inQ chewing tobacco and snuff
raises the risk of oral cancer
by 80 percent. While snuff and
cnew may be less dangerous
than smoklnq because they
are not linked to lung cancer,
tfiey are still linked to oral can-
cer. The review of eleven stud-

that users of chewing tobacco

Blue Cross Blue Shield
of Massachusetts offers in-
formation about the impor-
tance of staying informed
about breast cancer
According to the Ame-
rican Cancer Society, breast
cancer is one of the most
common forms of cancer in
women and a leading cau-
se of cancer- related death.
While a family history of
breast cancer can increase a
woman's risk for the disea-
se, all women can take pre-
ventative measures in their
lifestyle to reduce their risk
of developing breast cancer.
In recognition of Breast
Cancer Awareness Month,
Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Massachusetts' Prevention
and Wellness Program is
offering the following in-
formation on breast cancer
awareness.
What is breast cancer?
Breast cancer is caused
by the heightened grow-
th of abnormal cells in the
breasts and can originate in
different parts of the breasts,
according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Pre-
vention. While symptoms
of breast cancer do not al-
ways surface and tend to
vary with different people,
the American Cancer So-
ciety encourages women to
pay close attention to any
lumps, changes, or tender
areas in their breasts and
consult with a doctor if any
new lump or mass is disco-
vered.
Breast Cancer Risks
While having one or
more risk factors does not
determine whether a woman
will develop breast cancer,
it is important for all women
to imderstand their personal
risk factors for developing
breast cancer.
According to the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and
Prevention most women
who develop breast cancer
are over the age of 50 and a
woman's risk for developing
breast cancer increases with
age. The American Cancer
Society encourages annual
mammograms for women
ages 40 and older, clinical
breast exams every three
years for women in their 20s
and 30s, and breast self-ex-
ams for women in their ear-
ly 20s as women who catch
breast cancer early on have
better chances for beating
the disease.
Reducing the Risks
• Exercise
Studies conducted by the
American Cancer Society
have foimd that exercise is
an important component to
ensuring an overall healthy
lifestyle and reducing the
risk of various diseases, in-
cluding breast cancer. It is
recommended that women
exercise for 45 minutes to
60 minutes five or more
days each week.
• Food & Alcohol Intake
The American Cancer
Society recommends limi-
ting daily alcohol intake
and reducing excess fat con-
sumption in order to decrea-
se a woman's risk of develo-
ping breast cancer. Women
who drink 2 to 5 drinks daily
increase their risk of develo-
ping breast cancer by 1.5
times more than those who
do not drink alcohol. The
American Cancer Society
also suggests that women be
conscious of their consiunp-
tion of high-fat foods as obe-
sity can increase a woman's
chance of developing breast
cancer and weight gain spe-
cifically in the waist area
further increases a woman's
risk.
• Estrogen Intake
According to the Centers
for Disease Control and Pre-
vention, women who have
supplemented their estrogen
levels, whether by natural or
artificial estrogen, have an
increased risk of breast can-
cer. It is important to note
that both oral contraceptives
and hormone replacement
therapy contain estrogen.

trol and Prevention websi-

Milton Hospital To Demonstrate
Robotic Surgical Tool Oct. 12
Milton Hospital will host
a demonstration by the new
robotic surgical tool known
as da Vinci Saturday, Oct.
12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at
the Bass Pro Shops, Patriot
Place, Foxborough.
The surgical system
makes a surgeon's eyes 10
times sronger, refines hand
motions and makes smaller
incisions.
In a hospital setting, the
da Vinci System enables sur-
geons to perform even the
most complex and delicate
procedures such as prostate-
ctomies and hysterectomies
through very small incisions
with urmiatched precision.
Patient benefits include:
• Significantly less pain
• Less blood loss
• Less scarring
• Shorter recovery time
• A faster return to nor-
mal daily activities.
• And in many cases, bet-
ter clinical outcomes.
The da Vinci system can
also has the ability to tie
flies.
Milton Hospital is home
to the only da Vinci Surgical
System on the South Shore.

Young Kids Twice As Likely To Get The Flu As Adults
(ARA) - School-age chil-
dren would rather do chores,
take a test or do homework
than have to stay at home
sick, according to the recent
Medlmmune Parent-Child
Influenza Survey conducted
by Harris Interactive. Being
sick, they say, makes them
feel bored, aimoyed, gross
and even sad. The National
Center for Health Statistics
estimates 38 million school
days are missed each year by
kids sick with the flu - that's
a lot of unhappy children.
Parents can help kids
avoid missing school be-
cause of the sniffles, aches
and pains associated with
the flu by making sure they
get a flu vaccination every
year as recommended by
the U.S. Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention
(CDC). There is even more
emphasis on this for the
2008-2009 season, as an ad-
visory panel for the CDC re-
cently expanded its flu vac-
cination recoimnendations
to include all school-age
children through 18 years of
age. And, they recommend
kids be vaccinated as soon
as vaccine is available for
the season.
"Unfortunately, while
many parents are aware that
they can have their children
vaccinated against the flu,
according to a recent flu siu--
vey, too few parents think
their children need to be,"

says Dr. Norman "Chip"
Harbaugh, a pediatrician
with the Children's Medi-
cal Group in Atlanta. "It's
important that parents un-
derstand that the flu can be
a serious illness and they
should act now to vaccinate
their children."
If flu vaccine is available
at yoiu- health care provid-
er's office when your kids
go in for back-to-school
check-ups, sports physicals
or aimual well-child vis-
its, see if you can check flu
vaccination off of your "to-
do" list for the fall. Many
offices and clinics may al-
ready have a supply of the
needle-firee, nasal spray flu
vaccine FluMist (Influenza
Virus Vaccine Live, Intrana-
sal), which is approved for
eligible people 2 to 49 years
of age and has been shown
to help provide protection
throughout the flu season,
even when administered
early. By vaccinating dur-
ing already-scheduled visits
more children can be pro-
tected, which is especially
important given the expand-
ed flu recommendations.
Regardless of which kind
of influenza vaccine option
you choose, the important
thing is to get vaccinated -
every year. This is especial-
ly important for young chil-
dren, who are twice as likely
as adults to get the flu each
year. The flu is more than
just a cold, it's a contagious
disease that can be easily
transmitted from person to
person. In addition to fever,
sore throat and headache, flu
symptoms may also include
fatigue and muscle aches
that can last for more than
two weeks.

Improving Red Raiders
Defeat Plymouth South
By SEAN BRENNAN
Building off their 28-0
pasting of Sharon High
School two weekends ago,
the North Quincy Red
Raiders continued to show
marked improvement in
their third game of the
fall last Sunday night ver-
sus Plymouth South High
School .
North Quincy (2-1 over-
all) continued its impressive
defensive play, allowing
only a fourth quarter touch-
down (that is now just one
TD allowed in the last eight
quarters of play), en-route to
a 12-7 non-league win over
Plymouth South.
"We have been playing
pretty well on both offense
and defense these last two
games," said NQ head coach
Jim Cormor. "We are being
aggressive, which is good to
see, and the team has really
put together two solid games
in a row.
"Plymouth South is a
tough team and because of
the rainy weather it made
the game one of ball control
and field position. It was a
nice win in real bad condi-
tions."
The game was originally
scheduled to be played Fri-
day night, but was moved to
Sunday evening because of
the heavy rain that blanket-
ed the area over the week-
end. But the wet weather
did nothing to stop the early
season roll that North Quin-
cy has been on the past two
weeks. After dropping their
season-opener to Scituate
High School 24-0, the Raid-
ers have bore down, grinding
it out on offense and playing
smash mouth defense, and
are now sitting pretty with
2-1 record.
Against Plymouth South-
a former Atlantic Coast
League foe-the Red Raiders
got on the scoreboard first.
With the score at 0-0 after
one quarter of play. North
Quincy junior halfback Pat
Watkins rumbled into the
end zone on a three-yard run
early in the second quarter to
give his team the 6-0 advan-
tage. The point after attempt
(PAT) was unsuccessful .
Watkins touchdown run
finished off an impressive
13-play, 70-yard drive that
featured zero passing plays.
It was run, run and run some
more for the Red Raiders on
this drive.
"Our first scoring drive
was well executed," said
Connor. "With the weather
being as bad as it was all
day we just overpowered the
Plymouth South defensive
line on that drive and that is
a testament to our offensive
line and the work they did
all game.
"We took the ball 70
yards on 13 rurming plays,
running the football right
down their throats, and
Pat powered his way into
the end zone to give us the
lead."
After Plymouth South
stalled on its next drive.
North Quincy got the ball
back with just over two min-
utes to play in the half and
switched to the two-minute
drill on offense. The change
in strategy paid off hand-
somely.
Quarterback Michael
Stanton found senior half-
back Joe Vialpando wide
open in the end zone for an
eight-yard touchdown pass
to finish off a 60-yard drive
and giving North Quincy a
12-0 first halflead. The PAT
was once again unsuccessful
and the two teams entered
the locker room with the
Red Raiders leading 12-0.
"Unlike the first scoring
drive, our second one was all
passing," said Connor. "We
went into our two-minute
drill and quarterback Mike
Stanton was solid. He didn't
try to overdue anything and
was careful with the ball.
That was good to see, es-
pecially with time winding
down in the half.
"We played offense with
great balance all game and
it showed on both of those
second quarter scoring
drives. With our deep run-
ning game and now a dan-
gerous passing attack, we
should be this balanced the
rest of the season."
The Raider defense,
which has been the word for
North Quincy the last eight
quarters, allowed a late
fourth quarter touchdown (a
1-yard run by Blaine Thei-
san), but by that point time
was on NQ's side and a sec-
ond straight victory was ul-
timately secured.
"The defense was a total
group effort," said Connor.
"We had five or six sacks,
an interception and several
tipped balls. Our tackling
was great; a total team ef-
fort.
"When they scored late
in the fourth quarter, we had
gone seven quarters with-
out allowing a single point.
The whole defense deserves
credit."
When asked what has im-
pressed him through the first
three games. Coach Connor
stressed that, "we have been
healthy all year and that has
helped us stay focused and
prepared and it has given
us the opportunity to work
some things in and maintain
some consistency."
The Raiders, who are
now 8-6 over the last 14
games, next play on Friday
night against Whitman-Han-
son High School. Kickoff is
scheduled for 7 p.m. at Vet-
erans Memorial Stadium.

North Quincy Nips Quincy 2-1
NQ Girls Record 3-2-1
The soccer match be-
tween the Quincy Presidents
and the North Quincy Red
Raiders boys' soccer pro-
grams last Wednesday af-
ternoon at Veterans Memo-
rial Stadium ended in high
drama.
With the score knotted up
at 1-1 in extra time, Quincy
forward John Lewis broke
in alone on North Quincy
goaltender Ryan Louis but
his attempt at a game-ending
score sailed wide left and
the Raiders quickly took ad-
vantage of the missed scor-
ing opportunity with a goal
of their own.
Junior midfielder Jon
Couchenour started the
game-winning scoring play
by setting up senior forward
Mike Prioli who in turn
found senior forward Shane
Regan in the box and Regan
finished the play by burying
a goal for the 2-1 win.
The Red Raiders (3-2-2
overall) got the scoring start-
ed with four minutes gone in
the second half when sopho-
more Nick Carbone scored
his first goal of the season,
putting North up 1-0.
Quincy's John Lewis
evened the score at 1 - 1 with
his third goal of the season
later in the half, setting up
the dramatic ending to a
well-played game.
"It was a wild one," said
NQ head coach Rich Han-
Ion. "Every time we play
each other it is no matter the
records."
The 2-1 loss dropped
the Presidents record to 0-6
overall.
"Definitely a heart-break-
er. Our kids played hard,"
added Quincy head coach
Jason Karalexis. "They had
some chances, we had some
chances. Unfortunately it
didn't work out."
Both the Red Raiders
and the Presidents have
switched leagues this fall.
Instead of playing in the
Atlantic Coast League, both
high schools are members
of the Patriot League. This
new league format means
that last Wednesday's game
will be the one-and-only
time this season that the two
city high schools are sched-
uled to play each other.
North Quincy is sched-
uled to play a home tilt
against Whitman-Hanson
HS today (Thursday) at 3:30
p.m. at Teal Field. The team
follows this game with two
Patriot League away games
next week: Oct. 6 against
Duxbury HS and Oct. 10
against Pembroke HS.
Quincy plays at home
today (Thursday) against
Middleboro HS (3:30 p.m..
Varsity Field) and next week
against Randolph HS (Oct.
6, 3:30 p.m.. Varsity Field)
and on the road against
Rockland HS (Oct. 8).
The North Quincy roster
includes seniors Paul De-
Lucia, Alex Filippi, Richie
Kurtzman, Florian Mustafaj,
Vishal Naik, Zack Omwen-
ga, Parth Parikh, Mike Pri-
oli (captain), Shane Regan

The North Quincy Red
Raiders girls' soccer team
started the season with two
consecutive defeats, but
recently, the team has re-
bounded nicely with a 3-0-
1 record in their last four
games to run their early sea-
son record to 3-2-1 .
Losses to Somerville (1-
0) and Hanover (5-0) were
followed by a win over Ran-
dolph (2-1), a tie to Rock-
land (0-0), a win over Mid-
dleboro (4-3) and a victory
over Quincy (2-1).
"We struggled early in
the year getting our offense
going but over the last few
games we have been the
more aggressive team on
the field and it has improved
our team overall," said head
coach Paul Bregoli. "We are
going to miss the offensive
production that graduated
last spring but we have the
players back to be success-
ful again and after starting
0-2 to come back with three
wins and a tie, that puts us
in a good spot moving for-
ward."
Last Wednesday evening
at Veterans Memorial Stadi-
um, the Red Raiders and the
Quincy Presidents faced-off
in their lone meeting of the
2008 season. Quincy (0-5-
1 ) took an early 1 -0 halftime
lead, but behind two-second
SOCCER
half goals from NQ junior
forward Cara Murtagh, the
Raiders rallied for the 2-1
victory.
The one bright spot on an
otherwise dreary night for
the Presidents was the goal
"This 0-0 tie was like a
win for our team," added
Bregoli. "Playing on the
road and against a good
team in Rockland, we held
our own. Siobhan Carnell
was the story of the game
for us. Her 15 saves are what
earned us that tie."
The Raiders had picked
that was scored by senior ^p ^,^^1^ fi^st Patriot League
Julie Leone in the first half.
Leone's goal was the first of
the season for Quincy and
only the first goal scored by
a Presidents player in close
to two seasons.
Both schools have
changed leagues this year
from the Atlantic Coast
victory on Sept. 16 with a
2- 1 -road win over Randolph
HS.
Senior Amy Carchedi
and junior Devon McKay
scored the goals with junior
Laura O'Donnell assisting
on the game-winner.
"This should have been
LeaguetothePatriotLeague, ^ ^-1 victory for us," said
and because both schools
play in separate divisions,
this was the one and only
time the city's high schools
would play this fall.
On Sept. 22, the Raid-
ers picked up their second
Patriot League win with a
thrilling 4-3 victory over
Middleboro HS.
North quickly fell behind
Middleboro 2-0, but two
Bregoli. "But we missed
some great scoring chances
and only came away with
the two goals, but it was
good to get our first league
win."
North Quincy had lost its
Patriot League opener to Ha-

team," said Bregoli) and its
season-opening non-league
game to Somerville HS 1-0

junior Maria DiPietro and
senior Brittany Folkins) tied
the game at 2-2 entering the
halftime break.
Middleboro would come
back to retake a 3-2 advan-
tage early in the second half.
But with three wins and a
tie over the last four games
the Raiders are right back
where they seem to be ev-
ery year: in the running for
a post-season berth.

A Thought
fOR TH£ ^eiK
How much do we really know? Very
little, if the truth were known and frankly
stated. During the lifetime of those people
who have experienced fifty or more birth-
days, the world has experienced many
positive transformations. The fastest
SCOTT DEWARE time President Washington ever made in
a trip from Philadelphia was six days. Today a plane hardly gets
off a runway in Philadelphia before it is descending on the city
of Washington.
The advance in knowledge is, we believe, a very great advan-
tage. The more we learn, the better we are prepared to face life
and handle its problems. But now and again we are confronted
with the reaUzation that as a matter of fact we know very little
compared with what there is to be known. New discoveries come
so quick and fast that we can expect any morning we wake up to
find that an utterly new era has been ushered in.
And when it is ushered in (if it ever is) then we can be rest as-
sured that we will still be amazed over the little we know. . . What
about the possibility of life on other planets? What about the
marvelous area known only to those who travel in outer space?
Yes, indeed, today we live in one of the most interesting ages
humanity has ever known . . .

Picnic Brings Back Memories
And Hope To Star Of Sea ^Orphans'
CO-CHAIRS SEAN GLENNON (left) and Maureen Mazrimas (right) present ''Shining Star"
awards to Lori Dow and Paul McCormack. Dow accepted the award on behalf of her sister, Lee
Ann Ryan, who was posthumously honored with the award. Photo by Cailin Driscoll

Quincy. Photo by Maureen Mazrimas
It was a beautiful day in
the neighborhood and to the
parochial orphans of the Star
of the Sea Church it brought
back memories of church
cookouts past.
To Sean Glennon, co-
chair of the Friends of Star
of the Sea, it was a perfect
day.
"Family, friends and
neighbors were celebrating
together and having a great
time," he said. "It reminded
me of the good times we
used to have on a regular
basis when Star of the Sea
was its own parish."
To Maureen Mazrimas,
the other co-chair, it was
like a reunion of classmates
who had been apart for too
long.
"The last time we got
together socially was the
weekend after the 9-11 trag-
edy " she said. "Now, seven
years later, we knew it was
definitely time to celebrate
the vitality of the Star of the
Sea community and that's
exactly what we did here,"
But it was more than
just fun and nostalgia that
drew at least 200 people
to Sunday's cookout at the
Robert I Nickerson Legion
Post on Moon Island Road
in Squantum.
It raised nearly $3,500
for the Friends of Star of the
Sea to continue pursuing its
appeal to the Vatican on the
slender chance it will regain
its former stature as a par-
ish.
Star of the Sea was sup-
pressed by the Catholic
Archdiocese of Boston in
October, 2004; reopened
as a chapel limited to one
Sunday Mass a week in July,
2005, and has filed a number
of appeals with the Vatican
since then.
The Friends want rec-
ognition as a parish, said
Mazrimas, "or at the very
least, to provide the sacra-
mental liturgies that are so
important to each and every
Catholic — baptisms, wed-
dings and funerals — within
the community."
If the Archdiocese is
earnest about it new faith
renewal initiative called
'ARISE', she said, "it seems
shortsighted not to give the
faithful all the tools neces-
sary to fully experience and
enhance their faith."
Glennon said the money
raised will be used for mail-
ings, web hosting and may-
be even civil litigation.
"The overwhelming sup-
port at this event gave us a
mandate to push forward,
even if our current appeal
at the Vatican is denied,"
he said. "We are committed
to exercise every possible
option to restore our faith
community to full parish
status,"
The Friends used the
occasion to present the
"Shining Star" awards to the
late Lee Ann Ryan, who con-
tributed so much of her time
and energy to the organiza-
tion, and Paul McCormack,
a parishioner and usher for
the past half century.
The prize was renamed
the Lee Ann Ryan Shining
Star Award and accepted by
her sister, Lori Dow.
The event included face
painting, tattooing, games
and a moon walk ride for
children and a raffle and auc-
tion for adults. The Norfolk
County Sheriff's Office mo-
bile command center was
also on site for viewing and
fingerprinting.
Glennon and Mazrimas
thanked the Nickerson
Post for providing a venue,
Sheriff Michael Bellotti
and friends for manning the
grills and other sponsors and
volunteers for their efforts.

Developer To Try Again
Planning Board
Rejects B J.'s Outlet
The Planning Board re-
jected plans for a BJ.'s
Wholesale Warehouse at
Crown Colony by a vote of
2-2 on Oct. 1, but propo-
nents believe the proposal is
far from dead.
City Council President
and Ward 4 Councillor Jay
Davis, said he was disap-
pointed with the vote, but he
expects the project will be
revised and resubmitted and
passed.
"The one thing 1 hear
consistently on the soccer
field is, 'When are we going
to get B.J.'s?" Davis said.
Planning Director Dennis
Harrington cited traffic is-
sues as among the major
flaws detailed in reports from
Traffic Engineer Jack Gillan
and Nitsch Engineering.
"Both (reports) said it
failed for pedestrian, truck
llllllllll
••o 4 » 7 • "O • 8 1 0 ■
and vehicle access and safe-
ty," said Harrington who
noted that such plans require
a positive vote from four
members of the Planning
Board for approval.
Harrington said two
members of the Planning
Board opposed the project
and the fifth member was
not eligible to vote because
he had been hospitalized
and recuperating during the
preliminary hearings.
"We were concerned
about B.J.'s from the begin-
ning," Harrington said, add-
ing that there, also, appear
to be
problems with Town Brook.
City Solicitor
James Timmins said
that B.J. officials
can revise and resubmit the
plans, "They may modify
their plans and come back to *
the Planning Board."
Developer Michael
DiGuiseppe of Coastal
Partners, Beverly Farms,
who has been guiding the
project through the city's
boards, expects the plans
will be tweaked and. even-
tually, cleared by city offi-
cials.
Under the current plan.
Coastal Partners would de-
velop the project and lease
the property to the Natick-
based B.J.'s Wholesale
Club.
The original plans call
for an 84,000 square foot
building on the 7.5 acre site
of the former Patriot Ledger
printing plant at the entrance
to Crown Colony in West
Quincy.
"We intend to try to
figure this out with the
Planning Board and working

Programs (QCAP) as a

Agency has given prelimi-
nary approval for QCAP to
issue $2.5 million in rev-

Beth Ann Strollo, ex-
ecutive director of QCAP.
agreed that the deal is under
discussion but added that
details of the negotiations
with the owners, the Boston
Archdiocese, are "prema-
ture."
"We have it under pur-
chase agreement." she said,
"but no determmation has
been made. We have made
no decision on the bond.
The situation is fluid."
AQCAP publication says
that, if the sale goes through
it "expects the renovation
project to be completed by
the summer of 2010 and to
occupy the building upon
completion. ■
Records at the Assessors
office show that the tax-
exempt school building is
valued at 53214.100 but
the land is part of a two
acre plot that includes St.
Joseph's Church. It is val-
ued at $742,700.
Purchase of the building

Union President Philips
Plans Return To Teaching
Morrissey To Discuss
Wind Energy In Quincy Oct. 14
Paul Philips, president
of the Quincy Education
Association for the past 12
years through good times
and bad, is retiring from that
job and plans to return to
teaching.
"I'm leaving because of
the retirement system," he
said. "My pension will max
out in two years. I'd like to
teach again before I go."
Philips, 56, who started
teaching in 1975, has been
on leave of absence from his
job as an English teacher at
North Quincy High School
in order to head the union.
"They have to give me a
job as a teacher since I was
on a leave of absence," he
said. "I've always wanted to
go back to teaching. Some
of my colleagues have said
1 was crazy."

Philips will bow out of

pleasant" part of his tenure,
said Philips, but most of his
bargaining was uneventful.
""I had three units,
the teachers, the assistant
principles and the Quincy
College faculty," he said.
"I bargained 10 contracts.
Most were done amicably.
The strike was the other ex-
treme."
Philips joined the Quincy
school system 33 years ago
as an English teacher at
Point Junior High School,
although they called his sub-
ject "language experience"
in those days.
He became involved in
union activity helping out
Peg King, who was then
chairman of the QEA's Public
Relations Committee.
Later, King sat across
the bargaining table from
Philips as a member of the
Quincy School Conunittee
in 1992-93.
Once he has left the union
presidency behind him,
Philip expects his workload
to lighten considerably.
"There'll be fewer things
to do at night," he said.
"Bargaining is always at
night. And 1 won't have to
go to School Committee
meetings anymore."

The Quincy Environmen-
tal Network announces the
first of a series of workshops
on energy.
Senator Michael Morris-
sey will discuss the Green
Communities Act and how
it affects wind energy proj-
ects in Quincy Tuesday, Oct.
14 at the Quincy Historical
Society, 8 Adams St., start-
ing at 7 p.m.
The Act, which Mor-
rissey co-authored, is a
comprehensive new law that
seeks to lower energy costs,
promote the development of
renewable energy, and en-
courage energy efficiency.
This legislation will help
municipalities, businesses,
and residential consumers
fight rising energy costs and
reap the benefits of renew-
able energy.
One component of the
act requires the state to pro-
vide up to $10 million/year
in technical and financial
assistance to communities,
like Quincy, to help promote
energy efficiency and invest
in renewable and alternative
energy sources.
The new law clarifies
that the City of Quincy, or
even a neighborhood in the
city, could own a renewable
energy facility. Net meter-
ing, a key feature of the act,
makes such an option viable
as it allows small facilities
to apply energy produced to
specific sites, as well as sell
surplus energy to the grid
at a fair rate. Wind and so-
lar energy are the cleanest,
most low-impact sources of
energy. They also provide
excellent economic ben-
efits to local communities,
supporting local jobs and
industries and cutting down
on energy costs.
Morrissey will be joined
by a panel of representa-
tives from organizations
involved in wind energy
projects. The panel, which
includes Martha Broad from
the Massachusetts Renew-
able Energy Trust, Larry
Chretien from Mass Energy
Consumers Alliance, and
P.J. Foley from IBEW Local
2222, will contribute to the
discussion and answer ques-
tions from the audience.
The event, free and open
to the public , is sponsored by
the Quincy Environmental
Network's Climate Action
Subcommittee, Clean Water
Action, the Quincy Tech-
nology Council, Quincy
2000, and the Quincy Pub-
lic School's Hyper Robotics
Team. Refreshments will be
served.
The second workshop
in the series will be held
Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 7 p.m.
at the Thomas Crane Public
Library, Quincy Center.
Michael Berry, chairman
of the Sustainable Building
Committee for the Build-
ers Association of Greater
Boston, will provide infor-
mation on energy efficiency
techniques to save money
this winter.
Retirees Must File Taxes To Receive Stimulus
More than 1 ,500 Quincy
veterans and retirees have
not yet filed an income tax
return in order to receive
their economic stimulus
checks from the U. S. gov-
ernment, according to the
IRS.
H & R Block, the tax
preparation company, re-
minds them that they must
file a return before Oct. 15
in order to receive payments
starting at $300, $600 and
$ 1 ,200 even if they are not
required to.
Taxpayers with Social
Security benefits, certain
veteran's benefits and other
qualifying income totaling
at least $3,000 are eligible
for a stimulus payment.

Economic Impact Hailed
Harbor-South Tower
Reopens As 'Green Building'
The HarborSouth Tower
in North Quincy, redevel-
oped by Griffith Properties
officially re-opened as a cer-
tified "Green Building" and
welcomed new tenants with
a ribbon-cutting ceremony
attended by state and local
officials.
The redevelopment, co-
ordinated with the help of
tax incentives from the City,
will mean new jobs in the
city with major tenant Mass
Financial Services occupy-
ing space in the building.
Mayor Thomas Koch said.
City officials have pledged
to fight the tough economy
with a major economic de-
velopment campaign, he
said.
"This is exactly the kind
of economic development
that the City of Quincy will
continue to aggressively
pursue," said Koch. "Grif-
fith Properties and MFS
have shown a tremendous
commitment with this in-
vestment that will include
hundreds of jobs, much
needed tax growth, and
a wonderfully renovated
Green building at the gate-
way of our city.
"1 am grateful for their
confidence in Quincy, and
believe it will be the first of
many similar projects in the
near future."
The HarborSouth Tower
has been vastly renovated,
to become essentially a new
building, with environmen-
tal upgrades including su-
perior indoor air quality and
use of natural light com-
pared to office standards of
even just a few years ago,
Griffith officials said.
According to independent
research by the California
Public Utilities Commission
and the California Energy
Commission, building de-
signs that incorporate supe-
rior indoor air quality, day-
lighting and quality views
can improve employee pro-
ductivity by having more
outside air circulate through
the workplace and by en-
suring that natural daylight
floods the floor resulting in
less employee absenteeism.
HarborSouth Tower is deliv-
ering 40 percent more fresh
air than required by building
code, officials said.
Griffith Properties is
pursuing a Leadership in
Energy and Environmen-
tal Design (LEED) Core &
Shell Certification for Har-
borSouth-a higher standard
that is typically reserved
for new construction-in lieu
of the LEED EB rating for
Existing Buildings, due to
the comprehensive nature
of the redevelopment of the
25-year-old building. Some
other sustainable upgrades
include drought tolerant
planting to reduce irriga-
tion by 50 percent, energy
performance that is 40 per-
cent better than buildings
of comparable age, and pre-
ferred parking for fuel-effi-
cient cars and carpoolers.
Griffith, in a joint-ven-
ture partnership with Ur-
dang Capital Management,
Inc. and its Value-Added
Fund II, this summer com-
pleted the redevelopment
of the 206,0(X)-square-foot,
10-story Class A office tow-
er located at 100 Hancock
St., North Quincy.

Thou Shall Not . . . Stop Thief!
Obviously, the person
who needed it the most
wasn't listening.
While the minister was
preaching the Ten Com-
mandments — like Thou
Shalt Not Steal — inside the
Wollaston Congregational
Church, a thief was outside
making off with her car.
Around noon Sunday,
when the Rev. Mary Lou-
ise Gifford had concluded
her 10 o'clock sermon and
greeting her flock she went
to her office and found the
door damaged and her car
keys missing.
Them she went outside
and found her 2005 Pontiac
Vibe and her pocketbook
missing, too.
It's sad, she said, that
someone would be so des-
perate that they had no
choice but to steal.
Police took a more prag-
matic view. At last reports,
they were still seeking the
culprit, and it wasn't to
cheer him up.

A Leader Like FDR
McCAIN
OBAMA
Who will it be?
John McCain or Barack Obama?
We will soon know. Nov. 4 is just 26 days around
the comer. And let's
hope the final choice
is the right one be-
cause we are going
to need real leader-
ship the next four
years and after.
That $700 billion
bailout isn't a magic
cure all.
Hopefully, it will get us out of our financial mess as
they claim. But we need someone to keep us out and
lead us through the tough times that may be lurking
ahead.
Is Obama or McCain that man?
I don't know about you but I hope the winner has a
bit of Franklin Delano Rooseveh in him.
FDR would have been the right man for the job today
as he was in the 1930s and 1940s.
He brought the country through the
Great Depression of the 30's-a crisis
he inherited as President in 1932, and
through World War II.
Among other accomplishments
was the enactment of the Social Se-
curity Act.
He was a man who restored con-
fidence and rallied the nation through the bad times
and the crucial. Those words in his Inaugural Address,
"The only thing to fear is fear itself," set the tone for
his administration.
He had his critics-some of them haters. But those
who believed in him-and had faith in him, as most did,
loved him. He was their inspiration. Especially with
his Fireside Chats on radio.
Roosevelt was the only President re-elected to a
third and fourth term.
Members of the dubbed "Greatest Generation" grew
up knowing him as their only President.
He was in the White House when they entered
grade school, graduated from high school and entered
the armed forces in World War II.
When the Japanese sneak attacked Pearl Harbor
Dec. 7, 1941, it was, Roosevelt said "...a date which
will live in infamy" and once again rallied the nation,
vowing victory.
At the time of his sudden death in 1945, he had led
the country and its Allies to the edge of certain vic-
FDR
tory.
I will always remember April 12, 1945 when my
ship was in San Diego getting ready to go back out to
the Pacific and Okinawa after repairs.
And the word was passed to the crew: "President
Roosevelt has died." We were stunned. So stunned, a
friend could only say "How are we going to win the
war now."
That's how important a figure and inspiration he
was.
We've heard of talk in this year's campaigning
about "reaching across the aisle" for Democrats and
Republicans to work together on various issues.
Roosevelt did more than that. A Democrat, he
brought prominent Republicans into the White House
as members of his cabinet.
Among them: Secretary of War Henry Stimson,
Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes, Secretary of Navy
Frank Knox, Secretary of Treasury William Woodin,
Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace.
And the first woman cabinet member. Secretary of
Labor Frances Perkins.
Roosevelt was elected and re-elected to four terms
by wide margins:
1932: Roosevelt 22,822,000 to incumbent Herbert
Hoover's 15,762,000.
1936: Roosevelt 27,752,000, Alfred Landon
16,680,000.
1940: Roosevelt 27,244,000, Wendell Willkie
22,305,000.
1944: Roosevelt 25,602,000, Thomas Dewey
22,006,000.
Here in Quincy, then a staunch Republican strong-
hold, things were quite different. Roosevelt lost the
city to four Republicans.
1932: Hoover 16,872, Roosevelt 12,268.
1936: Landon 17,627, Rooseveh 15,116.
1940: Willkie 20,407, Rooseveh 16,878.
1944: Dewey 20,800, Rooseveh 15,097.
Things, of course, have changed since then. With
the coming of John F. Kennedy, and locally, Jim Mcln-
tyre and other young Democrats, Quincy shifted from
Republican to a Democratic city.
Roosevelt's years in the White House weren't per-
fect. He had his setbacks like trying to revamp the Su-
preme Court with six new members.
But he will be remembered for his leadership in
both peace and war.
He was the right man at the right time.
Let's hope the winner Nov. 4 is the right man at the
right time.
Maybe something like FDR.

Scenes From Yesterday
^' SHORE ^CENe, HOUGHS NECK, MASS.
1
THIS IS A 1915 postcard view of Perry Beach in Houghs
Neck looking north along what was known then as North
Harbor on the left. Because of the mudflats here many
cottages had long piers extending out to the waters edge
to reach their boats. This stretch of the beach took a
battering from the great 1898 Portland Storm resulting
in the closure of ocean access to Manet Lake at today's
Bayswater Road. The storm may also have been the
cause of all the rocks shown on the beach, which could
not have been very comfortable to sit on. To contact

Drug Task Force Symposium Oct. 16
The Quincy Drug Task
Force will hold a citywide
symposium featuring state
and local experts and a na-
tionally renowned speaker
Oct. 16 at 6 p.m. at Broad
Meadows Middle School .
"Public awareness is a
critical piece of our strategy
to stem the drug problem in
our city, and I believe this
program will provide a great
opportunity for the entire
community to come togeth-
er and begin asking ques-
tions and thinking about
ways we can fight this epi-
demic," said Mayor Thomas
Koch, who created the task
force after taking office in
January.
The program will fea-
ture a presentation by the
Massachusetts Department
of Public Health on drug
abuse statistics in Quincy
and the surrounding area to
show the gravity of the issue
in the city.
The presentation will be
followed by a talk by Ginger
Katz, whose son died of a
drug overdose in the after-
math of the tragedy. She
travels the nation presenting
a message to parents that
the stakes are too high to al-
low drug abuse problems to
be ignored. There will be a
question-and-answer ses-
sion at the end of the meet-
ing. Refreshments will be
served.
The symposium comes
as the 30-member Quincy
Drug Task Force works on a
series of recommendations
it plans to submit to Mayor
Koch in coming months.
The group is a collabora-
tion of elected leaders, law
enforcement officials, edu-
cators, addiction specialists,
human service agencies and
residents.
Since January, the city
has enlisted its first-ever
team of drug-sniffing dogs
at the Police Department,
conducted drug sweeps at
city schools for the first time
in years, increased anti-
drug education in the city's
high schools, and continues
planning for a series of ad-
ditional steps based on the
recommendations of the
task force.
"The Task Force has
worked incredibly hard over
the last several months, and
1 look forward to their rec-
ommendations," Koch said.
"This is not a problem that
is going to be solved over-
night, but this group has
already shown that it is a
battle worth fighting."

Strength Surprises
By FRANK McCAULEY
The surprising citywide strength shown by Ward Five
Councillor George G. Burke featured the prehminar> elec-
tion in which Mayor Amelio Del-
la Chiesa and Council President
Charles L. Shea were nominated as
mayoral candidates. The mayor led
his challenger: 8287 to 4,941 .
Burke ran up a 8.049-vote to top
the seven councillor at-large candidates. He showed power
throughout the city, topping the list in five out of six wards.
Spirited ward councillor fights in Ward One and Ward
Three featured the ward council contests. Leo J. Hannon.
a real estate broker, topped a list of five candidates in Ward
One with 1 ,1 10 votes, while banker Frank McCauley polled
1 .106. In Ward Three. John F. Koegler, 449 votes and Leo
Burke, 439 votes, were nominated.
INCINERATOR SITE OPPOSED
A petition of 922 names opposing the location of an
incinerator on the Swingle's Quarry property as recently
proposed by Peter G. Ruscitto, was mtroduced in the City
Council by Ward Four Councillor George B. McDonald.
McDonald said some 300 more names would be added to
the petition. McDonald recorded himself in "strong opposi-
tion" to the proposed incinerator site.
He explained his opposition was based largely on the fact
that trucks would have to pass over streets that are winding
and narrow.

Sweet Potato Bread
One of the easiest things to cook is a
sweet potato, just pop it in the microwave
for a few minutes and it's done. After this if
I want a crusty skin it goes in a 400 degree
oven until done.
Anyway I recently found a great recipe
to use them and that is in a sweet potato
bread. So easy and so delicious, it will be a
nice addition for the upcoming holidays.
SWEET POTATO BREAD
1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
2 eggs
1/1/2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
(about 2 medium size)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
6 tablespoons orange juice
1/2 cup pecans
Combine the first eight ingredients in a
large bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs,
sweet potato, oil and orange juice. Stir in
the dry ingredients until moistened.
Fold in the pecans. Place in a greased
baking pan, or a loaf pan. Bake in a 350 de-
gree oven for about an hour or until tooth-
pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack.
(When 1 made it, 1 used one cup of sugar
instead because of the sweetness of the po-
tato, but use whatever you prefer.)

Patrick Dunlea To Compete On Reality Show
Quincy High School Grad
Becomes Top Chef
Three years ago Patrick
Dunlea was learning how
to cook in the Quincy High
School Culinary Arts pro-
gram.
Today, Patrick is about
to become a member of the
"Top Chef American real-
ity competition show that
airs on the cable television
network Bravo, in which
chefs compete against each
other in weekly challenges.
They are judged by profes-
sional chefs and other nota-
bles from the food and wine
industry with the contes-
tants being eliminated each
week.
Dunlea is currently a
student at the Culinary In-
stitute of America. With an
inherent love for cooking,
he was inspired as a child by
his mother and grandmother
PATRICK DUNLEA
and today by food writer
Michael Pollan.
Dunlea has always had a
love for the arts, both per-
forming and visual and tries
to incorporate them into ev-
ery dish he creates. He was
also a product of Quincy
High's "Artistry" program
where he performed in many
plays and the chorus.
With ingredients as his
medium of art, he is inspired
by quality and freshness and
enjoys making fresh veg-
etable dishes like succotash,
pisto and ratatouille. He
has a passion for sustain-
able agriculture and hopes
to educate and promote lo-
cal farmers and growers.
Dunlea will return to
Quincy High School to
celebrate the opening of its
new restaurant in the new
high school come February.

the church at 40 Beale St.,
across from the Wollaston
MBTA station.
"There will be a represen-
tative from Ollivander's
Wands, a Sorting Ceremony
and a Great Feast. Quidditch
will be played. Everything
else will be brand new.
"We plan to offer
'classes' in Potions and
Transfiguration, and we
hope people will like the
surprises we have planned.
"I can't emphasize
enough how important it is
for people to make their res-
ervations soon. We've sold
out every year."

Bay State Conununity
Services, Inc. (BSCS) will
honor Rev. William Mc-
Carthy and attorney George
Burke at its Best of Bay
State - A Night of Comedy
event Thursday Oct. 23 at
Granite Links Golf Club lo-
cated on Quarry Hills Drive
in Quincy.
Rev. McCarthy, more
affectionately known as
Father Bill, has been a
prominent figure in the City
of Quincy for more than
30 years. Early on, Father
Bill recognized the complex
problem of substance abuse.
In the 1970's, Father Bill
served as a Board Member
of the South Shore Council
on Alcoholism, which later
merged with Survival, Inc.
and three other organiza-
tions to create Bay State
Community Services.
Fr. Bill is best known
for founding Father Bill's
Place, an emergency shel-
ter in Quincy, which after
25 years, has joined with
the MainSpring Coalition
of Brockton to become Fa-
ther Bills & MainSpring.
This partnership brings a
new strength to the goal of
ending homelessness and
promoting self-sufficiency
by giving food and shelter
to over 2,000 individuals
annually, finding safe and
affordable housing and pro-
viding permanent housing
and supportive services.
Over the years. Father
Bill and BSCS have col-
laborated on a number of
projects including sustain-
ing the operation of an
Fr. WILLIAM McCARTHY
adolescent emergency shel-
ter in Weymouth.
Burke has been active in
civic and comumunity causes
for nearly 50 years. He has
served in many elected of-
fices, including Quincy
city councillor and council
president, state representa-
tive, and district attorney of
Norfolk County. As district
attorney he established pio-
neer drug education courses
in Massachusetts schools
and received numerous ac-
colades for fighting drug
abuse and crime.
Fr. Bill and Burke are rec-
ognizable names throughout
the region and especially
to those who call Quincy
"home," said Ken Tarabelli,
executive director of Bay
State Community Services.
"Our organization has been
fortunate to benefit from the
work of these gentlemen.
Their vision, courage and
dedication has helped us to
understand the true mean-
ing of community."
Best of Bay State - A
Night of Comedy will begin

Mayor's Golf Tournament
Raises $70,000 For
Heating Aid To Needy
Senior citizens and low-
income families should be
a little warmer this winter,
thanks to the nearly $70,000
raised from various donors
through the Mayor's Cup
Charity Golf Tournament.
"It was a great day for
the community, business,
government and residents, to
come together for something
tremendously positive and I
am incredibly thankful to all
who participated," Mayor
Thomas Koch said.
"This is going to be an
especially difficult winter for
many in our city, but 1 believe
we have helped make a sub-
stantial difference through
the generosity of so many in
our community."
More than 140 golfers
participated and nearly 100
local businesses provided
donations for the event held
at Granite Links Golf Club
which donated the use of the
course for the tournament.
City Council voted unani-
mously Monday to accept the
gifts and to plan a meeting
in several weeks to discuss
disbursement of the funds.
Ward 2 Councillor Daniel
Raymondi noted the fuel
assistance funds would be
especially useful this year
with local residents already
feeling the fiscal crisis and
having more difficulty mak-
ing ends meet.
City Council President
Jay Davis said the council
would plan a meeting de-
signed to inform eligible resi-
dents of programs handled
through the city and Quincy
Community Action Program
(QCAP).
At their Sept. 22 meeting,
councillors, also, accepted
over $10,000 from various
donors for other projects as
follows
The Copeland Family
Foundation donated $5,000
for the Quincy Animal Shel-
ter,
State Street Bank donated
$3,000 toward technology
for the city's 911 center
Gifts totaling $ 1 ,5 10 were
donated to DARE; the educa-
tional program designed to
educate children to the dan-
gers of drugs and alcohol.
Among the corporate
sponsors who contributed
as much as $5,000 for The
Mayor's Cup were Daniel
Quirk, Eastern Bank, Hon-
eywell, State Street Bank,
Tishman, Gilbane, National
Grid, Verizon, South Cove

Facts About Carbon Monoxide
I prepared a four-page
fact sheet on carbon monox-
ide for a presentation I'll be
giving soon. But I'd like to
take this opportunity to pass
along some information
gathered for it here.
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
is the number one cause
of poisoning deaths in the
United States. However, CO
poisoning deaths have been
on the decline. The reason
given for the decline is the
improvement in combustion
devices, furnaces, motor ve-
hicles, stoves, water heaters,
etc.
Automobile incidents
comprise Vi the non-fire CO
incidents; idling vehicles are
the cause of these incidents.
2/3 of all CO exposures
occur in the home. CO ex-
posures are not linked to
sleeping, but are highly sea-
sonal being more prevalent
in the colder months when
heating systems are used
more frequently and idling
vehicles are more common.
Fatalities over age 65
are double the rate of the
general population (23%
fatalities while 12% of the
population). There are 2 to 3
times more deaths in males
than females . CO production
rates can be significantly
increased by problems with
combustion devices, fur-
naces, etc., when abnormal
conditions of operation ex-
ist.
CO is treacherous where
it is poisonous, colorless,
odorless and tasteless.
It is undetectable unless
you have the appropriate
alarmed device monitonng
your in-house atmosphere.
When inhaled, it enters the
lungs where it competes
with oxygen. It attaches
to the hemoglobin in the
blood 200 times faster than
oxygen causing cells to die.
Exposure can result in flu-
like symptoms ranging from
headaches, nausea, dizzi-
ness, confusion, fainting,
unconsciousness and death.
Should you suspect an
exposure to CO; get out of
the house into fresh air; call
your local fire department
from a neighbor's house and
seek medical attention.
Prevention consists of
appropriately installed,
working CO detectors on
each habitable level of a
dwelling including habit-
able portions of basements
and attics. They must be
present with ten feet of
bedroom doors and within
rooms containing approved
un vented gas heaters.
In addition, have a
qualified technician inspect
appliances; check vents,
flues and chimneys for
blockages and leaks; do
not use a gas oven to heat a
home; don't leave vehicles
running- in a garage and
never use a grill of hibachi
in your home.
To help us from exposure,
Gov. Mitt Romney signed
"Nicole's Law" which took
effect on March 31, 2006.
That law now mandates that
every residential structure
that contains fossil fuel
burning equipment or has an
enclosed garage shall now
be equipped by the owner
or landlord with working
carbon monoxide alarm
protection.
If you haven't done so
already, please comply
and install these detectors
throughout your home. As
usual , we are here to answer
any questions you may have
pertaining to their proper
installation.
Be safe!

Planning Board
Rejects B J.'s Outlet
Cont 'd From Page I
DiGuiseppe said Tuesday,
adding they will make "ev-
ery effort to get this project
in Quincy."
"All the studies suggest
that the area can absorb the
traffic," said DiGuiseppe,
adding that engineers can
make changes to the nearby
intersection.
As for the impact on
Town Brook, DiGuiseppe
said there would be "no im-
pact on Town Brook."
Both DiGuiseppe and
Davis cited the new jobs
that the store would bring to
the city.
"Jobs are being lost every
day," Davis said, adding that
B.J.'s would be a very posi-
'tive thing for the city, espe-
cially as people try to save
money in their budgets.
Davis believes the
Planning Board was sending
a message that the developer
"needed to do more work,
not that they were against
the project."
Davis said he would be
"extremely disappointed if
this project dies."

School Fund Members Hope
Taxpayers Will Be Generous
Property tax bills went
out last week and School
Committee Woman Jo-
Ann Bragg hopes Quincy
homeowners and business
people can find a little extra
cash to make a charitable
contribution to the Quincy
Education Fund along with
their tax payment.
Bragg is a member of a
committee, newly appointed
by Mayor Thomas P. Koch
to determine how to spend
the money collected for the
fund, which was established
in 2003 to supplement the
educational needs of the
Quincy Public Schools.
In five years, taxpayers
have contributed $31,000
to the fund, which has spent
$18,000 on computer net-
work printers and library
or reference books at every
public school in the city,
leaving just under $13,000
in the fund that is main-
tained by the city auditor.
"We are hoping that even
more funds will come it due
to the city's recent mailing
of property tax bills," said
Bragg. "By making a chari-
table contribution to the
fund, taxpayers who itemize
on their income tax return
will be able to claim a tax
deduction.
"This is a win-win situa-
tion. It is good for our chil-
dren, our educafional system
and taxpayers."
The bills are due back at
City Hall Nov. 1 . The com-
mittee has scheduled a meet-
ing in November to develop
a spending plan.
In addition to Bragg,
members of the Quincy
Educational Fund
Committee include:
School Supt. Dr. Richard
DeCristofaro. Ward 3 City
COA Screens Senior Hearing
Hearing Specialist John
Klefeker will hold hearing
clinics every third Monday
of the month at the Council
on Aging office, 83 Saratoga
St., North Quincy.
To make an appointment,
call 617-376-1506.
Councillor Kevin Coughlin,
Citywide Parents Council
member Barbara I sol a,
Public School teacher
Nancy Barron, and con-
cerned parents and residents
Grace Buscher and Michelle
Lydon.
"We want to spend the
money in a way that all
schools will receive a benefit
from the generosity of car-
ing taxpayers," said Bragg.
The Superintendent plans
to send out an email to prin-
cipals requesting informa-
tion on their needs and the
committee will analyze the
results.
"The goal is to address
the school system's tangible
needs as they are identified
from the level where the
rubber meets the road, in
the schools and in the class-
rooms," said Coughlin.
Anyone wishing to do-
nate with or without the
middle section of their
tax bills can send a check
made payable to the Quincy
Education Fund at Quincy
City Hall, attn. Collector's
Office, 1305 Hancock St.,

SURVEY SAYS: Half Of Us Suffer Foot Pain
www.Erick.son.coni
It's unnecessary and exces-
sively common. A recent sun/ey
conducted by the American
Pediatric Medical Association
(APMA) finds that 47% of Amer-
icans will experience a foot ail-
ment in their lives. Nearly 1 ,700
men and women aged 1 8-60 re-
sponded to the APMA study. Re-
sults showed that almost 34%
of respondents who suffered a
foot ailment did nothing about
it. For 19% of all respondents,
foot pain had prevented or lim-
ited their ability to perform their
normal daily activities. Looking
at the older respondents, aged
51-60, 29% said foot pain limit-
ed their activities. About 49% of
those with a foot ailment bought
an over-tfie-oounter product to
relieve symptoms, while just
21% saw a podiatrist to diag-
nose and treat their condition.
The good news is that there
is no reason to continue to suf-
fer the pain caused by the many
problems that can plague the
feet. We turn to the most ad-
vanced treatment for problems
of the foot and ankle, always
with an understanding and
compassionate approach.
That's why so many adults,
seniors, and chiWren continue
to seek our help whenever it
is needed. For treatment for
a full range of foot problems
for patients of all ages, please
call for an appointment at 781-
986-3668, QUINCY MEDICAL
CENTER. Office hours are also
available at 999 North Main St.,
in the Randolph Medical Office
Building, and Milton Medical
Building in Suite 221. I am af-
filiated with the Brockton and

conditions respondents re-
ported were sweaty feet, nal

Beatty Sees Senate Race
'David-Goliath' Battle
Cont 'd From Page 1
Beatty 's staff. One will be a
radio debate on WTKK on
Oct. 14 with Jim Braude and
Margery Eagan. The second
debate, Oct. 28, will be tele-
vised on NECN. Details will
be announced later.
Beatty has challenged
Kerry's votes on major is-
sues, such as Kerry's vote
approving the War in Iraq,
his vote approving an $85
billion federal loan to in-
surance giant, A.I.G., and
his recent vote on the $830
to $850 billion Wall Street
bailout.
One of Beatty 's major
goals would be the reform of
Congress and tougher rules
on conflicts of interest.
Beatty believes that sena-
tors should not be voting on
any issue "if you have a vest-
ed interest," such as stock or
family connections.
"They don't recuse them-
selves," Beatty said that he,
"got rid of stock. I don't
want to owe anything to
anybody except the voter."
By contrast, Beatty said
selectmen and aldermen in
Massachusetts must recuse
themselves when issues af-
fecting their finances or their
family's finances arise.
Beatty has repeatedly
charged that Kerry should
not have voted on the A.l.G.
issue because he, or a family
member, has investments in
A.l.G.
As a senator, Beatty said
he would work for new rules
requiring that senators not
vote on items of personal
financial interest.
As for the Wall Street
bailout, Beatty would
have demanded significant
changes before voting his
approval.
Beatty blasted the bil-
lion of dollars in so-called
sweeteners that added $130
billion to the $700 billion
bailout for an $830 billion
total.
One such incentive, ac-
cording to Beatty, is the
multimillion-dollar "tax in-
centives for (Virgin Island)
rum,"
He called the so-called
sweeteners, "more special
interests."
He has other questions
on the bailout.
"It's not strong enough
when it comes to protect-
ing taxpayers," Beatty said
after last week's congressio-
nal vote approving the bail-
out. "You're talking about
$7500 to $8500 (cost) to
each household."
"Everybody's got a piece
of this," said Beatty who
said the bill should have
included more substantial
Congressional oversight of
the distribution of the funds,
reform of some 13 "alpha-
bet" agencies which include
HUD, as well as reforms
in the senate and an inves-
tigation into "WTiat went
wrong?"
Beatty who is equally
critical of Kerry's vote au-
thorizing the Iraq War said
that he'd received the same
preliminary pre-war data
given to Colin Powell be-
fore his United Nations pre-
sentation.
TTie information did not
justify the war, according
to Beatty who analyzed the
intelligence using his own
experience as a Counter-
terrorism Officer with the
Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA).
Now that the country is
conunitted, Beatty said that
America can't quit without
winning and Kerry's quick
exit plan is wrong.
"He was wrong about go-
ing in and he's wrong about
getting out, " Beatty said
of Kerry. "We can not give
them a victory. You have to
have some sort of success to
leave."
Beatty believes Senator
Ted Kennedy has brought
federal funds to the state,
but that Kerry has not. He,
also, has praise for his for-
mer opponent, Congress-
man William Delahunt.
Four years ago, Beatty
challenged Delahunt for the
10th Congressional seat. He
said he learned a lot from
that six month campaign,
and one lesson was that six
months is too short for any
campaign.
He, also, said he has even
more respect for Delahunt
because he voted against the
bailout.
Beatty knows he has an
uphill fight in the next 30

Committee, visited The Quincy Sun newsroom last week. Beatty is challenging six-term senator,

days just to break Kerry's
predicted winning margin of
70 percent in the last senate
election.
However, statistics indi-
cate the state's voter profile
has changed dramatically in
recent years.
At this time, the number
of registered Independents
at 51 percent outnumbers
the combined total of both
parties with 37 percent list-
ed as Democrats and 12 per-
cent registered Republicans.
Beatty 's used to tough
odds. He served as a Delta
Force Assault Troop Com-
mander and Operations Of-
ficer. He was awarded the
Purple Heart and Combat
Infantry Badge.
In addition, Beatty served
as Special Agent for the FBI
and as a CIA operations of-
ficer at the Counterrorrism
Center
Subsequently, he found-
ed and operated a success-
ful security company. Total
Security, US. His clients
include the Pentagon, the
Superbowl, the World Trade
Center and the Statue of
Liberty, as well as consulta-
tions with officials in major
cities and for special events
such as the Rose Bowl .

Protect Your Home From Rising Energy Costs
(ARA) - Home heating
costs are expected to make
double-digit leaps this win-
ter, according to the U.S.
Department of Energy.
Residential oil prices during
the upcoming home heating
season are expected to in-
crease 31 percent over last
year and consumers this year
will likely pay an average of
$2,644. Natural gas custom-
ers also are expected to see
significant price increases
~ about 22 percent over last
year with an average cost of
$1,059.
With high winter heating
bills in the forecast, many
homeowners are investing
in home improvements that
can help save them money
by reducing their demand
for home heating fuel and
their home's overall energy
consumption.
Windows can play a large
role in a home's annual heat-
ing budget. Poor performing
windows can account for up
to 40 percent of a home's
heat loss during the winter.
With today's high cost of
energy, that's money going
right out the window.
Paul Delahunt, president
of Renewal by Andersen,
says replacing old, leaky-
windows with new, energy-
efficient windows can have
a big impact on helping
reduce your energy bills
~ making today the perfect
time to tackle that window
replacement project you've
been thinking about.
Choosing energy effi-
cient windows
Because windows have
an impact on both heat loss
and heat gain, your decision
on what type of windows to
buy will be among the most
important decisions you will
make in terms of energy use.
Delahunt offers advice for
choosing the most energy
efficient replacement win-
dows:
* Look for the ENERGY
STAR label. Products with
the ENERGY STAR label
can help you achieve sub-
stantial savings on heating

and cooling costs.
* Invest in windows with
Low-E glass. The state-of-
the-art transparent metal-
lic films in Low-E glass
regulate and optimize the
amount of heat and sunlight
that is allowed inside a home
- helping to increase energy
efficiency.
* Look for the National
Fenestration Rating Coun-
cil (NFRC) label. It means
the window's performance
is certified and provides an
"apples-to-apples" compari-
son between products.
* Check the U-Factor.
A window with a lower U-
Factor has better insulation
properties - in colder cli-
mates, a factor of 0.35 or
lower is reconunended.
* Make sure windows are
properly installed to provide
long-term energy efficiency.
According to Delahunt,
every Renewal by Ander-
sen window comes standard
with High-Performance
Low-E4 glass which is over
14 percent more energy ef-
ficient than stringent EN-
ERGY STAR requirements,
reducing your energy bills
by up to 25 percent over
standard dual pane glass.
Energy efficient windows
- Helping to achieve a bet-
ter environment
Energy efficiency has
long been a concern for ho-
meowners. But as energy
prices rise and environmen-
tal issues intensify, Delahunt
says more homeowners than
ever are seeking windows
that will help achieve both
energy efficiency and com-
fort in the home, while pro-
tecting their families and the
environment.
Homeowners consid-
ering home improvement
projects are increasingly
interested in ensuring the
products they install don't
degrade the indoor air qual-
ity of their home.
Some building materials
can release toxins into the
air through evaporation ~ a
process called off-gassing.
This off-gassing can contin-
ue for years after the prod-
ucts are initially installed
which means you continue
to breathe these chemicals
as you live and sleep in your
home.

Redecorating And Keeping It Green
(ARA) - The redecorating
bug has bitten you hard, and
you want to join the "green"
society by making your
home stylish but healthy and
environmentally friendly.
You can start from the
floor up, and environmen-
tally-friendly decorative
flooring is just what you
need. Something that allows
you to choose from many
colors, have simple instal-
lation and follow up with
easy maintenance. Materials
like sustainably harvested
hardwoods and ceramic tile
aren't your only eco-friend-
ly choices. A better option
might be Marmoleum Click,
an all-natural flooring made
from linseed oil, wood flour,
rosins and limestone.
With a visit to www.the-
marmoIeumstore.com, you
can match colors, look at
decorative designs already
created or plan out your
own. "Previously, linoleum
was available only in large
sheets and generally re-
quired professional instal-
lation," says Scott Day of
Forbo Flooring, manufac-
turers of Marmoleum and
Marmoleum Click products.
"But Marmoleum Click
makes installing a simple
linoleum floor - or even
a complex design ~ very
easy." The product is avail-
able in 12-inch by 36-inch
panels or 12-inch by 12-inch
squares. The panels click to-
gether, much like most other
floating floors, to create a
durable, attractive surface.
Here are some consider-

ations to keep in mind when
creating fashionable designs
for the floor in a room:
* Room size and shape.
A dark color or busy pat-
tern may not suit a small or
long, narrow room, because
it may make the room look
smaller. Stripes or diagonal
patterns, however, can cre-
ate optical effects that com-
pletely transform a room.
* Function.
A living room or bedroom
often lends itself to darker,
warmer colors, whereas a
clean, crisp environment
may be more appropriate for
a kitchen.
♦Furniture.
The more furniture there
is in a room, the smaller the
floor area that is visible, so a
simpler pattern is often the
best choice. Amazing ef-
fects can be achieved by a
well chosen pattern.
After the floor is finished,
you can move onto furniture.
Some green ideas are to re-
use your current pieces that
are solid in construction. A
new color of paint, slipcov-
ers, reupholstering or adding
decorative furnishings can
give the room an entirely
new look without thowing
anything away. If your fur-
niture can't be saved, look
into garage sales for used
pieces that have simple, tra-
ditional lines which won't
look dated in a short period
of time. Also, look for fur-
niture built from natural
products and using stains or
paints with limited environ-
mental hazard.
When it's time to tackle
the walls, look for paints
that contain little or no vola-
tile organic compounds. La-
tex- and water-based paints
with a flat finish typically
fit into this category. These
paints provide little to no
chemical leakage from the
walls to the air as the paint
is applied and dries, keep-
ing the air inside your home
cleaner.
If you have a redecorat-
ing project planned, it's
not hard to keep the project
green and enviroimientally
friendly.

Harbor-South Tower
Reopens As 'Green Building'
REPRESENTATIVES OF South Suburban ()ncolog> Center David Murphy, Oncology Mar-
keting Manager, (far left), H. Joseph Barthold, MD, Medical Director, (2"'' from right) and
Karen Donnellan, Administrative Director (far right), are hoping that their donation of a por-
table sleeper chair to Quincy Medical Center will encourage others to follow suit. On hand to
accept the new chair are QMC staff members Susan Neagle-Levy, RN, Med/Surgical Clinical
Manager, Laura Klint, RPh, John Loughnane, MD, and Thomas Fitzgerald, MD.
South Suburban Oncology Center Donates
Sleeper Chair For QMC Patient Families
For some patients, hav-
ing loved ones close by
duinng their hospitaliza-
tion gives them the extra
peace of mind they need to
recover more quickly. For
family members, however,
spending the night sitting in
a bedside chair can be less
than comfortable. That's
the feedback Quincy Medi-
cal Center's (QMC) Pain
Management Task Force/
Compassion in Action Pro-
gram heard from patients.
And now thanks to a gen-
erous donation from South
Suburban Oncology Cen-
ter (SSOC), patient family
members will have a more
comfortable place to stay
when needed.
SSOC donated to the A-6
nursing unit a new portable,
fold-out sleeper chair that
can easily be wheeled from
room to room and enables
an individual to stretch out
and sleep more comfort-
ably.
"Having an amenity like
this available for family
members is something that
our patients will really ap-
preciate," said John Lough-
nane, MD, a hospitalist at
QMC.
"When patients are able
to have someone with them
in the hospital, it can have
a positive effect on their
recovery," agreed Thomas
Fitzgerald, MD, QMC sur-
geon and vice president of
the medical staff. "We are
very grateful to our friends
at South Suburban Oncol-
ogy Center for recognizing
this need and providing this
comfortable option for our
patients and their families."
South Suburban Oncol-
ogy Center is a joint venture
partnership with Shields
Health Care Group, Quin-
cy Medical Center, South
Shore Hospital and Mass
General Hospital. SSOC of-
fers leading edge radiation
therapy treatment options in
their easy-to-access Quincy
location. In addition, SSOC
is one of only a handful of
facilities in Massachusetts
that is accredited by the
American College of Radi-
ology (ACR).

A Job Well Done
On Sept. 26,2008, at approximately 12:10 A.M.,
Officer Jay Borden had just completed his shift and
was on his way home in
his own vehicle when he
observed a large disorder
in the middle of Wash-
ington Street at Cagney's
Pub. As he got closer,
Officer Borden observed
two males kicking another
male who was curled up
on the ground attempting
to protect him. A large
group of females were also
fighting with each other.
The Officer immediately
pulled off to the side of the road, and radioed for
cruisers to respond to his location.
Officer Borden then got out of his car and
yelled "Quincy Police - Stop kicking him", The
group ceased fighting and everyone began to dis-
perse, but the Officer was able to detain one
of the male suspects who was kicking the male on
the ground. The other suspect took off running
down Washington Street toward McGrath High-
way. An ambulance was called for the male vic-
tim who was still on the ground. At this time of-
ficers arrived on scene and the suspect was placed
under arrest.
As Fallon Ambulance Paramedics tended to the
victim, Officer Borden interviewed one of the fe-
males at the scene. She said that she was across
the street from the bar when some females and the
suspect started yelUng at her. She said that she
walked toward the group and a fight broke out with
the females. She was immediately punched in the
face by suspect #1. She said that another male
(suspect #2) came to her rescue and punched sus-
f)ect #1 to the ground. Another unknown suspect
joined in kicking suspect #1 . Both victims refused
medical treatment.
Officer Borden then questioned the suspect #2,
who said that he was walking home when he was
"jumped by four dudes." When asked what pro-
voked the fight, the suspect said,
"I don't know - they just jumped me". When
asked if there was any verbal exchange or any inci-
dents prior to the fight, the suspect reiterated, "no,
they just jumped me". The suspect had minor cuts,
bleeding, and scrapes on his face but refused medi-
cal treatment.
Officer Borden then interrogated suspect #1 , the
kicker, who waived his Miranda rights and stated
that there was a verbal altercation, which led into
a physical altercation between a group of girls. He
stated that he then saw suspect #2 get involved
and punch the female in the face. He stated that
he jumped in to help her and that was all that hap-
pened. When asked who the other male was that
kicked the male on the ground, the suspect said,
"I have no idea what you're talking about". Sus-
pect #1 a 24 year old Quincy resident was charged
with "Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weap-
on (Shod Foot) and then transported to the police
station. The suspect's sneakers were taken as evi-
dence. A complaint application will be filed against
suspect #1 for "Assault and Battery" for punching
the female in the face.

Presidents Pick Up Second Win
By SEAN BRENNAN
The Quincy Presidents
(2-2 overall, 1-0 in Patriot
League play) picked up their
second victory of the season
last Friday night against
Rockland High School with
a 7-6 win, but the final re-
sult was not as cut-and-dry
as the score may indicate.
Leading 7-0, courtesy
of a fourth quarter 35-yard
touchdown pass from quar-
terback Lance Peterson
to wide receiver Anthony
Raddatz (Quincy 's own ver-
sion of Randy Moss), with
under five minutes to play
in the game, Rockland pro-
ceeded to drive down the
field and score on a three-
yard run from Jeff Reardon
to put the score at 7-6 Presi-
dents.
Now here is where things
entered into the bizarre.
On the ensuing point
after attempt (PAT) by the
Bulldogs, Quincy 's senior
linebacker EJ Louis broke
through the line and blocked
the kick. The loose ball was
picked up by the Bulldogs'
holder who then competed a
pass to an offensive lineman
for a two-point conversion
and an 8-7 advantage.
Not so fast.
According to the rules,
since the Rockland player
that caught the ball was an
ineligible receiver the yel-
low flags were thrown. But
for some reason the referees
gave Quincy the option of
accepting the penalty or de-
clining it. Quincy obviously
accepted the penal ty-decl in-
FOOTBALL
Quincy - 7
Rockland - 6
ing it would have given two
points to the Bulldogs-and
Rockland was forced to try
another PAT from five yards
back. The Bulldogs went for
the win, but on the two-point
conversion pass, Quincy de-
fensive back Kenny Nguyen
forced the receiver to catch
the ball out-of-bounds. The
Presidents took the ball back
on offense after senior Bry-
an McGee recovered the on-
side kick and Quincy ran out
the clock for the victory.
"It was a dog-fight the
entire game," said head
coach Bill Reardon. "We
dominated the time of pos-
session the whole game, but
just couldn't score until the
fourth quarter. Up until that
final Rockland possession
they could do nothing offen-
sively against us, but they
did finally score setting up
that crazy ending.
"On the PAT try, EJ
Louis made a great play
to block the kick and once
they completed the pass to
that ineligible receiver we
thought the play was dead.
But it wasn't and we had to
bear down, which we did.
Nice win."
Quincy had numerous
scoring chances through-
out the first three quarters
of play, but just could not
get the ball in the end zone
when it counted until Peter-
son connected with Raddatz
in the fourth quarter. On two
of their first three offensive
possessions, the Presidents,
behind the signal calling of
an ever-improving Peter-
son, drove the ball inside
the Rockland five-yard line;
coming up empty on both
drives.
"We had several chances
to put some points on t'ne
board early, but could not
finish what we had start-
ed," said Reardon. "Twice
we were inside their five-
yard line but couldn't get
it done. We were looking
to score touchdowns and
just couldn't connect until
the fourth. But it was a big
league win no matter the
score."
This one-point victory
not only gives Quincy an
all-important Patriot League
win, but also helps to take
some of the sting out of the
two losses they have had
this fall (28-27 to Cohasset
and 8-7 to Canton).
"There must be some-
thing about us and one-point
games," added Reardon.
"We have had two tough
one-point losses, so this win
was big. We are two points
away from being 4-0 this
year."
After picking up their first
victory of the year on Sept.
19 with a 12-7 non-league
win over Plymouth South,
Quincy spent the week of
Sept. 26 on a bye giving the
coaching staff and Reardon
time to work on some things
in preparation for the game
against Rockland.

"Duxbury is as good of
a team that 1 have seen in
years," said Reardon. "We
are going to have to play
our best football to have a
chance against them, but
if we stay within the game
plan we should be able to
stay in the game."

Red Raiders Post 0-2-1 Record
Red Raiders Ring Up
Third Straight Victory
By SEAN BRENNAN
If the last 12 quarters
(three games) are any indi-
cation of the things that have
yet to happen this season for
the North Quincy Red Raid-
er football team, all future
challengers best bring their
'A' game to the table.
North Quincy (3-1
overall, 1-1 in the Patriot
League) steamrolled Whit-
man-Hanson High 21-0 last
Friday evening at Veterans
Memorial Stadium; the
team's third straight victory
and their third consecutive
top-notch performance.
Including the games
against non-league oppo-
nents Sharon High School
(28-0) and Plymouth South
High School (12-7) and
last Friday night's win over
W-H, North Quincy has
allowed just one (not a mis-
print) offensive touchdown
in the last twelve quarters of
football.
That is some serious de-
fensive domination.
'in general , the whole de-
fense has been flying around
the ball; eleven hats on the
ball carrier at all times,"
said NQ head coach Jim
Connor. "We are doing the
little things right on defense
and we have been great at
getting multiple defenders
to converge on each play.
"But the most encour-
aging thing is that we are
winning the turnover battle
(NQ holds a +8 advantage
over the last three games- 10
opposing turnovers to just
two for the Raiders) and that
means that we are giving
our offense more chances to
score.
"Winning breeds confi-
dence and that is what we
are seeing with our defense
FOOTBALL
North Quincy -21
Whitman-Hanson - 0
the last three games."
And, as an added bonus,
the offense-especially the
running game hasn't been
that shabby, either.
Against the Panthers,
North Quincy jumped out
to an early 14-0 first quar-
ter lead on touchdown runs
from Brian Donaghey (four-
yard TD) and Joe Vialpando
(22-yard TD), held W-H
scoreless throughout all four
quarters, and finished it off
with another touchdown run
from Patrick Watkins in the
fourth quarter. Final score:
21-0.
Vialpando and Watkins
combined for 189 yards on
32 carries and two touch-
downs, lifting the Raiders to
its best start in years. These
two stars also contributed
on defense with a combined
three interceptions-two by
Vialpondo and one by Wat-
kins.
"Like the defense, our
running game is feeding
off what each of them are
accomplishing individually
on the field," added Con-
nor. "We have some serious
depth at that position with
Watkins, Vialpando, Ter-
rance Staley and Matt Jay at
halfback and Donaghey at
fullback and they all balance
each other very well .
"Watkins, Vialpando and
Donaghey have all been get-
ting similar-carries in game
play and it helps to keep
them all fresh and produc-
tive. It also allows us to
maintain ball control and
keep our drives moving in
the positive direction.

as the offense and that is
what we are seeing these
last three games."
With six Patriot League
games still to be played and
their non-league schedule
finished, the Raiders are in a
great position to make a ma-
jor splash in their inaugural
season in the new league.
North Quincy, which is
in the Fisher Division of the
Patriot League (the league is
divided into the Fisher and
Keenan Divisions), plays
five of its final six games
against Fisher Division foes
with their final game of
the year against Quincy on
Thanksgiving. And with the
way that the schedule is set
up and with the dominant
way North Quincy is play-
ing football at the moment,
the Raiders are now serious
contenders for a first-place
finish in the Fisher Divi-
sion.
"Our confidence is pretty
good at the moment but
my job is to try and stay
grounded as we move into
our league schedule," said
Connor. "If we continue to
do what we have been do-
ing that would be great, but
good teams are always try-
ing to get better.
"We have a 1-1 record in
the Patriot League, which
is just average, but we are
going in the right direction.
The time is now to prove
ourselves as a contender."
The next five games
against Pembroke (Oct. 11),
Rockland (Oct. 17), Ha-
nover (Oct. 24), Randolph
(Oct. 30) and Middleboro
(Nov. 7)-all Fisher Division
opponents-will go a long
way in deciding just how
good of a team this 2008
North Quincy edition really
is.
No matter what happens
over the final two months
of the season, success and
a winning tradition has now
become a staple of a pro-
gram that just two seasons
ago struggled through a 1 - 1 0
campaign. North Quincy
High School football is back
in a big way.
"This is a great group
of kids," said Connor, "and
so far we have not had to
deal with issues that could
hurt our team. But it takes
a great staff, the support of
the North Quincy commu-
nity and good players to be a
good team. And that is what
we are working on building.
"We can't look ahead.
Our focus this week will be
solely on Pembroke. One
game at a time."
The Raiders will travel
to Pembroke High School
on Saturday to play a 1 p.m.
game.
A lack of scoring may be-
come the crux for the North
Quincy Red Raider girls'
soccer team in their quest
for another post-season ap-
pearance.
After droppinga4-0 game
to Duxbury High School on
Oct. 6, a 6-0 game to Whit-
man-Hanson High School
on Oct. 2 and playing to a
0-0 draw on Sept. 30 against
Maiden High School, North
Quincy is facing an uphill
battle to reach the necessary
.500 record they would need
to advance to the state tour-
nament.
At 3-5-2 overall and
3-4-1 in the Patriot League,
the Raiders need to pick
up points in their final nine
games to have that chance.
The team plays four crucial
league games against Hing-
ham (today, 3:45 p.m.. Teal
Field), Pembroke (Oct. 10),
Hanover (Oct. 14) and Ran-
dolph (Oct. 16) in the next
eight days and needs to win
at least two of those four
games to stay in the hunt.
"We are having a hard
time putting the ball in the
net," said NQ head coach
Paul Bregoli . "The team has
been playing hard, but we
have missed several scor-
ing opportunities the last
few games that could have
changed the course of those
games."
GIRLS'
SOCCER
Against Duxbury, the
Red Raiders feel behind 1-0
ten minutes into the first
half and were down 2-0 at
the halftime break. Two
prominent first half scoring
chances went by the books
for North Quincy and the
Dragons put the game on ice
with two more goals in the
second half.
"They scored early. We
were not ready to play the
game at the start and it cost
us," added Bregoli. "But we
had those two chances to
pull even in the opening half
but just could not finish."
On top of dropping a
tough game, North Quincy
lost its leading scorer, ju-
nior forward Cara Murtagh,
to a dislocated shoulder.
Murtagh, who leads the team
with five goals, is expected
to miss several games re-
covering from her injury.
"We played them ag-
gressively and tough," said
Bregoli, "but losing Cara
hurt our offense. We are go-
ing to need someone else to
step up while she is out."
Bregoli singled out the
play of seniors Jess Howl-
ett. Amy Carchedi, junior
Sammi Bonanni, sophomore
Jillian Carchedi and fresh-
man Jonlyn Lydon against
Duxbury.
Late last week the Raid-
ers traveled down to W-H to
play againist a potential state
finalist in the Panthers. By
halftime the score was 5-0.
"Whitman-Hanson is one
of the best teams in Mas-
sachusetts," said Bregoli.
"They score 20 seconds into
the game and led by five
goals at the half. We were
on our heels playing defense
the whole game. That is a
really good team."
Howlett, playing in goal
for senior Siobhan Camell,
made 1 5 saves in the losing
efi"ort. Others playing well
for North Quincy included
Shannon Coleman, Devon
McKay, Brittany Folkins
and Maria DiPietro.
The team played Maiden
HS to a 0-0 draw in a non-
league game early last week.
NQ had several scoring
chances, including a shot by
Kaleen Campo that hit the
post.
"We has so many chances
and could not score," said
Bregoli. "But even after our
0-2-1 week, we are still in
the hunt for a post-season
berth."
The Raiders host Pem-
broke on Friday at 3:30 p.m.
at Teal Field.

Answers To Common Questions About Colonoscopies
By Kenneth Harris, M J).,
Medical Director of
Endoscopy, Milton Hospital
If you could prevent a
life-threatening disease by
taking a few hours out of
your day, would you do
it? Thanks to Katie Cou-
ric, millions of Americans
are familiar with the term
"colonoscopy" but still,
many people have questions
about the procedure and
overall colon health.
Let's start out with a few
statistics. Colon cancer is
the nation's third most com-
mon cancer and five per-
cent of the population will
be diagnosed with colon
cancer. Ninety percent of
colon cancer cases occur in
patients over 50-years-old
and if detected early, colon
cancer is curable. If this is
true, then why are only 57
percent of at-risk people
getting colonoscopies?
Historically, there has
always been some fear and
apprehension among pa-
tients surrounding the word
"colonoscopy." Perhaps a
few answers to the questions
that many have will build a
strong case for the impor-
tance of proactively screen-
ing for colon cancer.
Why should I get a
colonoscopy and when
should I get one?
Colonoscopies are ex-
ploratory procedures used
for diagnosing cancer, pol-
yps and other diseases of
the colon including diver-
ticulitis, colitis and Crohn's
disease. The procedure
examines the colon with a
fiber optic camera on a flex-
ible tube passed through the
anus. During the procedure,
a physician has an opportuni-
ty to remove polyps, biopsy
suspicious areas and cauter-
ize bleeding sites. A polyp
is extra tissue that grows
inside your colon and some-
times develops into cancer.
When removed, polyps are
analyzed by a pathologist
to determine if there are any

cancerous cells. It takes
anywhere from 8-10 years
for a polyp to develop into
cancer, therefore support-
ing the necessity for regular
screenings.
Both males and females
over the age of 50 should
have a colonoscopy to
screen for cancer and a fol-
low-up colonoscopy every
10 years, unless otherwise
specified by your doctor. If
there is a history of colon
cancer in your family or if
you have had a polyps or
cancer before, the frequency
and age for having the pro-
cedure may change. And, as
a rule of thumb, if someone
in your family has been di-
agnosed with colon cancer
at a young age, your first
colonoscopy should be ten
years prior to the age they
were diagnosed.
I don't want to drink
that!
In the past, many patients
disliked the idea of drink-
ing the preparatory liquids
used to clean out their co-
lon prior to the procedure,
due to the large quantity of
liquid along with the some-
times "displeasurable" taste.
Fortunately, there are now
pills that a patient can take
along with a 24-hour diet of
clear fluids only that will ad-
equately prepare the colon
for the procedure. Drink-
ing the liquids is still the
method of choice for most
doctors, as it does the best
job, however if needed, pills
are an option. As with any
procedure, it is important
to communicate with your
physician and make sure
they are aware of any con-
cerns you may have so they
can best create a treatment
plan for you.
Will I be completely
knocked out? Will I have
to take off time from
work?
Patients are sedated for
the entire colonoscopy and
generally have no recollec-
tion of the procedure. Con-
scious sedation, commonly
used for dental procedures,
is very similar to the seda-
tion used for colonoscopies.
This means that you will not
be intubated and will not ex-
perience any of the adverse
side effects from general an-
esthesia. The procedure it-
self takes approximately 15-
20 minutes and afterwards,
patients typically spend one
hour in the recovery room.
Patients should not work or
drive the day of the proce-
dure, but rather relax com-
fortably at home.
How can I proactively
keep my colon healthy?
There are a few simple
steps to keep your colon
and digestive track working
properly. It is important to
drink lots of water, and have
a diet high in fiber and low in
fat. Additionally, a lifestyle
free of smoking with plenty
of exercise is essential.
Over the past few years,
there has been an increase in
colon health awareness and
significant advances in tech-
nology. At Milton Hospi-
tal, we recently opened our
new Endoscopy Center that
doubled our patient capacity
and updated our equipment
to high definition scopes and
monitors ensuring thorough
and accurate procedures.
Colon health should be
taken seriously. When Co-
lon cancer is discovered in
early stages, patients have
a 90 percent survival rate,
compared to a 10 percent
survival rate if the cancer is
discovered in a later stage
and has begun spreading to
other organs. It is impor-
tant to keep open commu-
nication with your primary
care physician about colon
health while taking all of the
necessary precautions.
Kenneth Harris, M.D.
has been the Medical Direc-
tor of Endoscopy at Milton
Hospital for the past 15
years.
Clean Hands And Desks Keep Kids In School
(ARA) - Nearly 22 mil-
lion school days are lost
each year due to illness, ac-
cording to the Centers for
Disease Control and Preven-
tion. But a new study from
researchers at Children's
Hospital Boston, published
in "Pediatrics," found that
simple steps like disinfect-
ing surfaces and using al-
cohol-based hand sanitizers
helped reduce student ab-
senteeism rates in elemen-
tary schools.
"It is critical to prevent
exposure to certain bacteria
and viruses that can cause
illness and make children
miss school. Our research
shows that elementary
schools should consider in-
fection control practices to
help keep schools healthier,"
says Thomas Sandora, MD,
MPH, a pediatric infection
control specialist at Chil-
dren's Hospital Boston.
The study, led by Dr. San-
dora, involved 285 third and
fifth-grade students in Avon,
Ohio. Teachers in interven-
tion classrooms used disin-
fecting wipes on surfaces
such as desks, and students
and teachers used hand sani-
tizer at key points through-
out the school day. Other
classrooms followed normal
hand washing and clean-
ing procedures. Over eight
weeks, researchers tracked
the frequency and reasons
for student absences. Inves-
tigators also compared the
presence of viruses and total
bacterial counts on several
classroom surfaces.
The researchers found
that absenteeism rates for
gastrointestinal (GI) illness-
es were 9 percent lower in
classrooms that disinfected
surfaces and used hand sani-
tizers. Respiratory illnesses
were not affected by the in-
fection control measures.
The study suggests that
schools should consider
adopting simple infection
control practices, including
disinfecting common surfac-
es and using alcohol-based
hand sanitizers in class-
rooms to reduce the number
of school days lost to com-
mon Gl illnesses, which can
cause nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea.
Study funding, hand san-
itizer and disinfecting wipes
were provided by The Clo-
rox Company.

Personal Training
With a Friend
a, My best friend
> recently started
ing with a personal
trainer and has asked me
to work out in a gniup
with her and another
friend. The personal train-
ing group would meet
twice a week. I am a little
worried that I am not as fit
as the other two members
of the group. Could every-
one get an effective work-
out in a group setting even
if we're on dilTerent fitness
levels?
A, Group personal train-
• ing is one of the
biggest trends in the fitness
industry today. The idea of
receiving the expcrti.sc of a
personal training but in a
group setting has made this
one of the most popular
types of training at many fit-
ness facilities. The benefits
of group training are appeal-
ing to many who want to use
a personal trainer and also
enjoy the camaraderie of
workout partners.
Most group personal-
training sessions begin with
the assessment of individual
participants to establish
their personal fitness goals
and to discuss your health
and fitness history.
Group personal training
and group exercise clas.ses
differ in the approach to the
group's purpose and the
individual programming.
Your personal tramer will be
able to pace ever\'one in the
group to work at their own
fitness level by modifying
exercises as necessary.
There are several benefits
to group personal training,
including a reduced cost by
working out with another
participant, the support and
encouragement you can
receive and give with other
participant^), accountability
from your workout buddies,
a professional trainer moni-
toring your workouts and
assessing your goals, and a
fun but productive workout
environment.
Your personal trainer will
be able to identify each indi-
vidual "s needs and then pro-
gram workouts for their
benefit. Discuss your con-
cerns with the trainer, and
he or .she will design a work-
out that will safely chal-
lenge each person without
going beyond their fitness
level. Remember the goal is
for each participant to suc-
ceed.
Although group training
has its advantages, it is not
for everyone. A true novice
to exercise may not feel
comfortable in a group and
may opt for true one-on-one
personal training. Also,
your personal trainer should
only place participants
together who can work well
with one iuu)lher and create
a positive environment for
everyone involved.
Remember that while
group personal training can
be a great way to become fit.
it is important to find the
type of training that will
work best for you and help
you reach your fitness goals.
Always consult a physi-
cian before hej^inning an
exercise program. If you

THE MOST NATURAL REPLACEMENT OPTION
It is estimated that more than
two-thirds of adults between
the ages of 35 and 44 have lost
at least one permanent tooth
to an accident, decay, or gum
disease. Thirty years ago, the
only option for these people
and others with missing per-
manent teeth would have t>een
a fixed bridge or removable
denture to replace the missing
tooth (or teeth). More recently,
however, dental implants are
fast becoming the best tooth-
replacement option for most
individuals. Unlike fixed bridg-
es, which attach to adjacent
teeth, and dentures, which rest
on the gums, dental Implants
are rooted directly into the
jawbone. As such, they func-
tion like a natural tooth root to
firmly anchor the replacement
CTOwn permanently in place.
Dental Implants are ex-
tremely strong, stable and
durable. Dental implants are
secure so you can speak and
eat with confidence! In fact,
with proper maintenance they
can last a lifetime. You know
that your confidence about
your teeth affects how you feel
about yourself, both person-
ally and professionally. We
provide a wide range of in-
novative dental services spe-
cifically tailored to the needs
and wants of our patients.
Ultimately, you manage your
own oral health, so call 617-
479-6220 for an appointment.
We're located at 44 Greenleaf
Street, where our focus is on
you and what you expect from

siologist. Visit us on the web

wise accompanies the loss of
a pemianent tooth.

'Whatever you do, you need cour-
age. Whatever course you decide upon,
there is always someone to tell you you
are wrong. There are always difficulties
arising which tempt you to believe that
your critics are right. To map a course
of action and follow it to an end, requires
some of the same courage which a soldier
needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men to win
them." - Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Each of us, as we go through life, strives to be a winner in our
way. But it takes courage to be a winner, a winner at responding
to life. It takes courage to accept friendship and intimacy with
other persons. It takes courage to take a stand in an unpopular
cause. It takes courage to choose reality over approval. It takes
courage to accept the responsibiUty for your own choices and
dare to be yourself. New ways are often uncertain ways and as
Robert Frost expressed it: ''Courage is the human virtue that
counts most - courage to act on limited knowledge and insuf-
ficient evidence. That's all any of use have."
The great thing about courage is that, when we get the hang
of it, it becomes character. And character, after all, is the referee
of our success as a human being. . .

Firefighters Bring Safety Lessons To First Graders
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Firefighters carried strong
warnings in a soft-covered
book to the city's more than
800 first graders last week
and early this week.
Firefighters from each of
the city's fire stations vis-
ited classrooms in the city's
1 1 public schools and three
parochial schools and gave
each student a copy of the
book. Safe At Home, writ-
ten just for them.
Six-year-old Jake and
his over-stuffed brown bear,
Teddy, are the heroes of the
book.
"The boy is actually
teaching the bear the dan-
gers in the house," said
Ernie Arienti, President of
the Quincy FireFighters
Association and brother of
the author, Firefighter Bill
Arienti.
The story is in language
that children understand as
written by Bill Arienti who
has authored several other
children's books in the past.
He previously served as
president of the union.
Another firefighter, Chris
Melchin illustrated the book
with full color pictures of
a smiling Jake on his sixth
birthday and the bear Teddy
whose rolling eyes offer
strong warnings of danger.
The pair warns of the
dangers of touching stoves,
electrical outlets, pushing
screens, or getting too near
open fires.
"The Quincy FireFighters
Association, Local 792,
wanted to do something to
educate the children on the
dangers and hazards in the
home," said Ernie Arienti of
his membership.
Arienti, the author, and
Melchin, the illustrator.
FIRST GRADE SUDENTS at Lincoln Hancock School sit with
author Bill Arienti and illustrator Chris Melchin, both fire-
fighters, after discussing their book, Safe At Home, with the
youngsters. Firefighters from each stationhouse read the book
and gave a free copy to all first graders in the city's 11 public
school and three parochial schools. The firefighters union pub-
lished the book.

project and Local 792 paid
the publishing costs.
The book has references
naming Quincy but those
references can easily be
changed for another city or
town, according to the au-
thor.
"The book not only helps
children to read, it also
teaches them the dangers in
the house and to be teachers
to their younger siblings,"
said Ernie Arienti.
"They really enjoyed
it," Ernie Arienti said of his
visit to the Lincoln Hancock
Elementary School where
the author and Melchin read
to the children.
Dozens of youngsters
raised their hands, asking
questions and volunteering
their own safety tips from
home such as wearing oven
mitts for the stove and find-
ing a safe place for evacua-
tion.
Melchin has created il-
lustrations and paintings
for the fire station and Bill
Arienti has written and pub-
lished previous books for
his self-published children's
series, Tales From Faxon
Park.
The author has, also,
taught elementary school
writing classes in Quincy,
Weymouth and Taunton.
Arienti calls writing, "a lost
art," and tells youngsters
and adults their greatest
gift to another could be a
story relating their own his-
tory, describing a place or an
event.
"You can put so much
more down in words." the
author said.

Person Of Interest Held For Evaluation
Victim Churches Taking
Steps Against Looting
By TOM HENSHAW
While the person of inter-
est in ecumenical burglaries
at eight Quincy churches,
both Catholic and Protes-
tant, was being evaluated at
Bridgewater State Hospital,
local clerics were busy shor-
ing up their defenses against
such crimes.
Leon Hatfield, 44, the
homeless man who alleg-
edly stole a car owned by
the Rev. Mary Louise Gif-
ford, pastor of the Wollaston
Congregational Church,
while she was preaching
"Thou Shalt Not Steal," was
arrested by Boston police on
outstanding warrants.
Hatfield was ordered
held on the Boston warrants
in Dorchester District Court.
He was not charged with the
Quincy robberies but Capt.
John Dougan said such a
development was likely.
Dougan said he was listed
as a person of interest, not
as a suspect.
He is also suspected of
church robberies in Milton,
Weymouth and Braintree,
where a locked box of
pennies collected for the
homeless was raided at the
First Congregational Church
and has a record of similar
thefts going back 10 years.
Most of the loot in the
Quincy burglaries was small
but it served as a warning
for Quincy churchmen and
women.
"The burglar took a wa-
ter cooler bottle filled with
money for Interfaith Social
Services," said the Rev.
David Hefling, pastor of

Administration officials

that mid-year budget cuts
might be necessary amid the
struggling state and national

Koch did not announce

he expects to have firm plans

the Council next week. The

protecting the "core" ser-

public safety, education, and
basic public works.
"Everythmg is on the
table, and sacrifices will be
required. But I am confident
that if we roll up our sleeves
and work together, we will
weather this storm." Koch
said.
Koch said that the imme-

Post Office Zeroes In On Mailbox Graffiti
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Postal officials recently
dispatched a paint bucket
brigade across the city after
a recent Quincy Sun story
reported that mailboxes here
were splattered with smut
and smears.
From Houghs Neck to
WoUaston, postal crews
purged graffiti from doz-
ens of mailboxes on direct
orders from the top man in
the region, James Holland,
Postmaster General of the
Boston District.
The photograph of a
graffiti-covered mailbox on
Beale Street struck a nerve
with postal employees in
North Quincy and Quincy
Center who take consider-
able pride in their agency.
"Mr. Holland called me
and told me the article had
reached out," Jim Fatseas,
the mayor's chief of staff
said, describing a phone call
from Holland the day after
the5M«'s story ran.
"Since that article
ran, they stepped up
their efforts," said Larry
Prendeville, Commissioner
of the Department of Public
Works.
As for the number of
boxes now sporting a new
coat of federal blue paint,
Prendeville estimated, "You
could safely say at last 24
post office boxes."
"They definitely want
to work with the city,"
Prendeville said, adding that
he wants residents to report
all graffiti to his office with
messages at 617-376-1959.
Mailboxes are just one
target of the city's renewed
efforts to crack down on
graffiti which officials ac-
knowledge is a never-ending
batde. Left unchecked, offi-
cials said graffiti multiplies
and shouts decay.
City Council unani-
mously supported a resolu-
tion submitted recently by
President Jay Davis who
asked that private and public
officials be invited to a City
Council meeting to discuss
graffiti.
Prendeville said he has
been arranging a meeting
with representatives from
Verizon, National Grid, the
postoffice and the police de-
partment.
"If we leave it there, it
promotes more graffiti, per-
petuates itself," said Police
Lt. Pat Glynn, a detective
with the department's
Special Investigations Unit,
BEFORE AND AFTER. This mailbox in WoUaston on Beale
Street sparkles after post office officials sent out a crew of
painters tu remove and paint over the graffiti which blanketed
the box. (Quincy Sun Photos/Ixiura Griffin)

made to remove graffiti as
soon as possible.
"It's a quality of life is-

pared graffiti to the 'broken

The Police Department,

ficials to combat graffiti
using a three-pronged ap-
proach: 1. Documentation,
2. Removal, 3. Prosecution.
Glynn said Police Officer

Flitting about with a
spray can may seem like
fiin, but spraying or paint-
ing graffiti in schools, on
sidewalks or business walls
can lead to stiff penalties,
according to Police Lt. Pat
Glynn, a detective with the
Special Investigations Unit.
Among the potential pen-
alties are fines, incarceration
and the loss of drivers' li-
censes for both misdemean-
or and felony offenses.
Drivers can lose their
license for one year. Those
offenders who are too young
to drive may have to wait
extra years to apply for driv-
ers' licenses, according to
Glynn.
Glynn and Police Officer
Steve Burgio have brought
criminal charges against ten
persons for graffiti offenses.
Such offenders can face
fines that run into thousands
of dollars as penalties can
be assessed at three times
the damage and jail time can
run to at two years.
Offenses on federal prop-
erty can lead to even stiffer
penalties.

$300 Union Salary Increase One-Time Only
Koch Says State
Health Plan Will
Save Taxpayers $4M
Mayor Thomas Koch
told a coalition of Greater
Boston mayors that joining
the state health insurance
commission will be a "huge
boost" toward fighting the
troubled economy by saving
Quincy's taxpayers $4 mil-
lion in health care costs.
Koch was invited to
speak at the Metropolitan
Mayors Coalition, a group
of mayors from cities sur-
rounding Boston, after the
city's employees voted to
join the state insurance
program, known as the
G.I.C. or Group Insurance
Commission.
Quincy is the largest city
in Massachusetts to join the
state program which Koch
believes will cut millions
from the city's skyrocket-
ing health insurance costs
through the joint bargain-
ing power of over 250,000
members of G.I.C.
Koch has been errone-
ously criticized for agree-
ing to a one-time $300 base
increase in employee's sala-
ries.
A recent news report
incorretly stated that em-
ployees would receive $300
raises every year.
The salary increase will
be applied this year for an
estimated cost of $750,000
in 2009.
The salary increase was a
counter-offer to the unions'
quest for a two- percent
salary increase, according
to Chris Walker, Koch's
Director of Policy.
During the bargaining,
Koch offered and union
leaders accepted the $300
increase which will go into
effect on July 1 .
Union leaders and Koch's
administrators met more
than 10 times over the past
months
Walker acknowledged
this week that School
Committee members should
have had earlier information
about the negotiations and
the salary increase.
The previous contract
agreement guaranteed that
if the city joined the G.I.C,
employees would pay 10
percent of premiums and the
city would pay 90 percent.
That meant that employ-
ee's insurance premiums
could not be considered for
reduction during last sum-
mer's negotiations.
Koch has repeatedly
described the $300 salary
hikes as a more than satis-
factory bargaining chip.
"We had $5 on the table.
We gave up $1 to the unions
at the bargaining table to
save $4 for the taxpayers.
I think that math is pretty
tough to argue, especially
when the real number is $4
million.
NORFOLK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS recently awarded a $3,000 grant to DOVE, Inc. of

Davis Organizes Ward 4
Residents Email List
Email has proven to be so
popular with his constituents
that Ward 4 City Councillor
Jay Davis has created and
organized a ward-wide list
to keep residents updated on
events in the city and ward.
"During the last three
to four years email contact
from residents to me has
drastically increased," he
said. "On average I receive
20 to 30 emails and 25 phone
calls per week. Emails have
now surpassed phone call
for constituent contacts."
Davis said his first "test"
email was conducted last
week when several hundred
were sent to Ward 4 resi-
dents notifying them of the
upcoming fall street sweep-
ing schedule for the DPW.
"People can email any-
time of the day and response
is generally quicker," he
said. "In urn. emails allow
me to make quick contact
with city department heads
and employees to address
residents' concerns."
If you would like to be
included on the list, send
your email to Davis at jda-
vis(('ci.quincy.mj.us.

THE HISTORY CHANMI
• On Oct. 19, 1784, an
es.say appcar.s in the Gazette
of the United States in which
a writer named "Phocion"
attacks presidential candi-
date Thomas JefTerson and
accuses JefTerson of carrying
on an affair with one of his
slaves. Phocion turned out to
be former Trciisury Secretary
Alexander Hamilton.
•On Oct. 18, 1867, Uie U.S.
lakes possession of Alaska
after purchasing the territory
from Russia for less than 2
cents an acre. The American
public believed the land to be
worthless and dubbed the pur-
chase "Seward's Folly" and
"Andrew Johnson's Polar
Bear Garden."
• On Oct. 1 4, 191 2, before a
presidential campaign
speech in Milwaukee,
Theodore Roosevelt is shot at
close range. The .32-caliber
bullet failed to mortally
wound the former president
because its force was slowed
by a glasses case and a manu-
script in the breast pocket of
Roosevelt's heavy coat.
• On Oct. 17, 1931, gang-
ster Al Capone is sentenced
to 1 1 years in prison for tax
evasion and fined $80,0(K).
Although wanted for boot-
legging, tax evasion was the
only charge the authorities
could make stick, as Capone
was known for intimidating
and bribing witnesses.
• On Oct. 13, 1941, .singer-
songwriter Paul Simon is
bom on this day in Newark.
N.J. Simon grew up in For-
est Hills. N.Y., where he
befriended Art Garfunkel in
the sixth grade. The two
began singing together, and
by the time they were 16
they had released a single,
"Hey, Schoolgirl," recording
as Tom and Jerry.
• On Oct 16, 1951, Hudson
first entered stock-car racing
with its Monobuilt design
Homet with a lower center of
gravity. Hudson coined this
innovjuion "step-down
design" because, for the first
time, passengers had to step

Every once in awhile I find myself drifting back to
my yesterdays.
And once again thinking of things I wish I could
see, do, or hear one more time. And
memories such as the following come
rushing to mind:
• President-elect John Kennedy
in his father's home in the Kennedy
compound a few hours after his slim
win over Richard Nixon, pouring
drinks for and chatting informally
with the press. Asked what he thought
made the difference, he replied: "He (Nixon) stayed
(that wasn't the word) too long in the South."
And confessing he was going to get in some golf
i ^f^*« >^ when he got to the Kennedy home in
r .^P ^ Florida. "But don't print that, they'll
think I'm another Ike."
• Mayor Amelio Delia Chiesa walk-
ing through City Hall turning off un-
necessary lights.
• Munroe MacLean on one side and
Jack Donahue on the other plotting
strategy at a Quincy-North Quincy
Thanksgiving Day football game.
• Principal Henry Prairio at Point
Junior High School stressing "Always
give it (effort) that extra ounce."
• Ruth Gordon, calling from her
New York City Park Avenue apart-
ment or her home on Martha's Vine-
yard excited about her latest movie or
TV guest appearance. And asking me
to keep my eye on her birth certificate at City Hall.
• Riding a streetcar from Quincy Point to Quincy
Square-and for only a nickel.
• Former Mayor and Councillor Tom Burgin stand-
ing up and telling his colleagues: "It's
time to fish or cut bait."
• Dick Koch leading hundreds of
his Koch Club youngsters down Han-
cock Street waving flags in the Flag
Day parade.
• General Doug-
las MacArthur in a
visit to First Parish
Church, stopping by the Adams fam-
ily pew and noting: "I am certain that
John Quincy Adams must have prayed
in this pew for divine guidance before
he wrote the Monroe Doctrine."

And one more:
• Interviewing Grace Metalious at her Gilmanton,
NH home shortly after her blockbuster
best seller "Peyton Place" came out.
Residents were riled up and fuming
that the book gave Gilmanton a bad
name.
"Peyton Place is not Gilmanton but
a combination of various small towns
I have lived in," she insisted.
Grace was as earthly as some of the
characters in her book. You couldn't help liking her.
After the interview and as I was leaving I told her
I wished I had brought my copy of the book with me
and had her autograph it.
"Just mail it to me and I'll autograph it and mail it
back to you," she offered.
"Gee, I can't," I told her. "I have friends waiting to
read my copy."
Oh," she said. "Tell the cheap b to buy their

Supports Proposed BJ's At Crown Colony
My family supports the
proposed redevelopment of
the former Patriot Ledger
site at Crown Colony Office
Park to build a new BJ's
Wholesale Club.
In this economy, now
more than ever shopping
at BJ's Wholesale Club is
an important means for me
to save money on food and
necessities for my house-
hold. Currently I have to
travel to Weymouth to shop
at the nearest BJ's. The con-
venience of having a BJ's
closer to home in Quincy
would not only make my
weekly shopping easier but
it will also help me save on
gas and time. It would also
be advantageous for our
community in that it will
provide Quincy with a tax-
rate-able business.
Giving to the commu-
nity is also important to BJ's
and they have been an ac-
tive donor torn both Father
Bill's and MainSpring and
Cradles to Crayons. I hope
the City Council will sup-
port BJ's Wholesale Club. 1
plan to attend the meetings
to further show my support

Quincy
Opposes Replacing Police With Civilian Flaggers
The other day while
crossing over the Fore
River Bridge from North
Weymouth, I observed a
Quincy police officer on
detail preventing cars from
running into each other
between multiple orange
cones.
I thought about the recent
controversy over replacing
police officers with civilian
flagmen to "save" taxpayer
money.
Proponents of flaggers
calculate that $5 million will
be saved atmually which
would put the cost of a flag-
ger's wage at $33 per hour,
including benefits.
The governor keeps tout-
ing the huge savings by urg-
ing non-police at work sites.
However, this doesn't com-
pute. It soimds like bogus
math. A construction com-
pany will factor into their
bids for work the total cost
of flagmen into their bids for
work; the total costs of flag-
men and not just the hourly
wage. There's training, uni-
forms and liability insur-
ance before you even get to
the benefits. Taxpayers will
directly or indirectly pay for
everything.
Civilian flaggers are
smoke and mirrors. In the
end, taxpayers will never
see any savings at all be-
cause it's just pie in the sky
politics.
Companies will be cre-
ated to produce flaggers for
construction firms. Lots of
people will prosper but not
the taxpayers.
Finally, our roads will be
less safe for all of us. With
a police officer, you also get
somebody who is CPR cer-
tified and First Responder
certified. With a flagger, you
get someone wearing a nice
orange vest. Think about it.

A Thank You From The Blue Star Mothers
On behalf of the Eastem
MA Chapter of Blue Star
Mothers, I would like to
thank all those who helped
at the "Service For Soldiers
Fair" at the Wollaston
Congregational Church..
All goals for the CarePacks
fundraising event were
passed.
It was a beautiful and
busy day at the fair. The
outdoor games were fun;
everyone got a sweet prize.
The indoor gift making
was productive. Baskets of
handmade cards, decorated
pillows, dream catchers,
bookmarks, and bandanas
were given to CarePacks for
the next packaging event .
Donated Nantasket Beach
sea shells revealing hand-
painted seascapes were
gift-wrapped. The cafe was
abundant with refreshments
and baked goods. Through
the generosity of local busi-
nesses, raffle prizes were
awarded to many fairgoers.
More than a dozen lap
quilts were sewn together at
the quilt-a-thon. A few more
are near completion. They
will provide comfort and
warmth to as many injured
soldiers in a hospital or re-
habilitation center in the U.
S. through Operation Quiet
Comfort.
At the end of the day
nearly a dozen foal core
tiles were covered with pho-
tocopies of past and present
soldiers. We will continue
creating the wall with pic-
tures that didn't reach us that
day. Our hope is to display
the wall at Quincy City Hall
and possibly at the MA State
House during Veterans' Day
week/
The "Service For Soldiers
Fair" raised enough money
to mail Care packages to
over 300 soldiers worldwide
through CarePacks... All if
those boxes will contain a
handmade and heartfelt gift
from someone who made an
aftemoon in August all about
supporting the soldiers. The
support of many made this
event a real success.

Aside from being the
lucky grandson of a former

a sheriff and son of a for-
mer court officer, just what
qualifications does young
Mr. Tufo have to support his
being appointed to this posi-
tion?
Once again this is a case
of in y ova face appointments
that are constantly being
shoved down our throats. Is
there any wonder why there

City Plans Fines Hike
On Illegal Parking
By FRANK McCAULEY
The cost of illegal parking may be going up.
Members of the Traffic Commission met with Mayor Ar-
thur H. Tobin to discuss a draft plan
that would divide the city into zones
carrying fines of $10, $5 and $3 for
illegal parking.
The Red Zone ($10) would be in
the business areas and around the
MBTA stations. The Yellow Zones
($5) along the city's main arteries and the White Zone ($3)
in residential areas.
Tobin said it is hoped to have the draft plan ready as an
ordinance for the Nov. 16 meeting of the City Council so the
plan can be in effect by the Christmas season if the Council
approves.
"We have to stop Quincy from becoming the dumping
ground for MBTA parkers," said Police Chief Paul LaHive,
a member of the commission.
ESTIMATED TAX BILLS
IN MAIL BY END OF MONTH
Estimated tax bills should be in the mail to Quincy prop-
erty owners before the end of October.
Governor Edward J. King last week singed legislation
permitting 102 cities and towns that have not completed the
revaluation process to send out estimated bills in their first
mailings.
Then, once the actual tax rate is established, the adjust-
ments will be made during the second mailings in .May.
Assessor Patricia Ceriani said the estimated bills that are
sent out will be the same as those that were mailed out for
the first half of fiscal 1981.
The estimated bills, she said, will save the city consider-
able interest that would have to be paid on money borrowed
to keep the city running.

Eggplant Surprise
It was one of those Sunday dinners and I
was making a tray of fritters. Since I didn't
have enough vegetables, I decided to use
eggplant, which is probably a first. And
surprise! They turned out pretty tasty with
some help from seasonings.
Anyway, when the family all arrived for
dinner, I had each of them taste the eggplant
fritter, and they guessed from zucchini to
mushroom. The only one to guess it was
eggplant was my daughter Suzie.
Eggplant Fritters
1 medium eggplant (or about 3 cups
shredded)
legg
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Romano
cheese
1/4 cup milk
Salt and pepper to taste
a pinch of basil or any favorite herb
Remove the skin from the eggplant and
shred on cheese grater. Add the egg, flour,
cheese salt, pepper and herbs. In hot oil,
measure a tablespoon of the mixture and
saute it turning them until golden brown.
Drain on a paper towel , and keep in a warm-
ing oven until ready to serve. If you like
eggplant, you will enjoy eating it this way.

chronicles the suspicions

misconduct on the part of
a parish priest in 1964, just

Flymi, the modem parish
priest who is suspected of
taking too much interest in
the only black student in the
parochial school.
Miriam (Miki) Joseph,
also of Quincy, plays Sister
Aloysius, the strong-mind-

pal of the school, who is
determined to protect the

Special Thanks To Sally Erickson
Seaside Gardeners Recognize
Volunteers For Causeway Beautification
Seaside Gardeners of
Squantum recently held a
"thank you" luncheon for
the 200 persons who volun-
teered their services to beau-
tify the Squantum Causeway
over the past ten years.
Special thanks were of-
fered Sally Erickson who,
as president of Seaside
Grardeners, initiated the
Causeway planting project
in 1996, raised support from
residents and city officials,
and lobbied for the required
approvals.
Louise Hannigan, South
Shore district director of
the State Garden Club
Federation, attended the lun-
cheon and thanked Erickson
for her work.
Club members honored
Erickson with a commemo-
rative pastel painting, "A
View of the Causeway"
by Deni Sindel, Craft
Chairperson of Seaside
Gardeners.
Erickson remains as coor-
dinator of ongoing mainte-
nance of the project. Also
active in maintaining the
plantings are the "Friends of
Seaside Gardeners," and the
Norfolk Country Sheriff's
Offices
Erickson is Horiculture
Chairperson of the Garden
Club Federation of
Massachusetts and Civic
Beautification Chairperson
of Seaside Gardeners of
Squantum.
The initial planting event
took place on May 30, 1998.
At the time, the planting of
daylilies along the mile-long
Causeway was the largest
beautification project in the
City of Quincy.
The process took two
years and included meetings
with then Mayor Jams Sheets
and Rep. Bruce Ayers as
well as the public works de-
partment and Metropolitan
District Commission. Also,
involved in the project were
the Marina Bay Associates
and landscape designer
Mary Smith.
Publicity chairperson for
the Seaside Gardeners is
Marie Stamos.
THE SQUANTUM CAUSEWAY is the focal point of the painting presented to Sally Erickson,
former president of the Seaside Gardeners (center) of Squantum, for her work starting and con-
tinuing the daylily planting project on the mile long entrance to Squantum. Louise Hannigan,
South Shore district director of the State Garden Club Federation (left) and the artist, Deni
Sindel, Craft Chairperson of the Seaside Gardeners joined club members at a recent luncheon
held to thank Erickson and the 200 volunteers who maintain the plantings.

1 happened to speak with
a woman who very recently
had a fire within her home.
She conveyed the proactive
fire safety measures she and
her family had taken prior
to the incident, in view of
the fire incident, she was
so pleased she had taken an
active role with her family,
having updated smoke and
CO alarms, and practicing
in-house evacuation drills
with her entire family, young
children included.
Meanwhile the pleasure
of the conversation was all
mine, listening to the active
role this family had taken to-
ward a safer residence. She
accepted the fire prevention
message, made it her own,
and shared it with a sense of
accomplishment and pride.
She explained how she
and her husband had sat
down with their children
and designed an evacua-
tion plan together and then
proceeded through the me-
chanics of implementing
that plan. They discussed
the importance of the fire
alarm system and alternate
means of escaping the house
should the typical means be
blocked by fire or smoke.
They discussed the impor-
tance of shutting a door to
add more time away from
heat and smoke should their
primary means of escape be
blocked and the opportunity
and advantage of exiting
through windows onto roofs
if need be.
Without actu-
ally acknowledging the
acronym E.D.I.T.H., this
family was practicing the
concept. E.D.I .TH. stands
for Exit Drills In The Home.
This concept encourages a
family to develop and prac-
tice an evacuation plan from
their home together. Early
notification of fire through
the presence of work-
ing smoke detectors goes
hand-and-hand with the
evacuation plan concept. In
this instance this family em-
braced the whole concept.
It was an uplifting experi-
ence for me listening to her
unsolicited involvement in
keeping a safer home and
her sense of achievement
having done so.

some visitors declined
the opportunity to submit
entries to our CO detector
raffle. Home Depot donated
10 CO detectors for that
purpose. These individuals
declined participation where
they had already complied
with Nicole's Law, having
installed CO detectors on
every habitable level of their

instance this was explained
to us that the visitor would
rather see someone else who
had not yet fully complied
have the opportunity to win
a detector and be protected

When one has dedicated
half a career enforcing and
selling the fire prevention
message, energized in the
belief of its importance,
the impact of that dedica-
tion cannot be accurately
quantified to generate our
own motivational feedback.
However, receiving casual
feedback from the individu-
als referred to here were gifts
I couldn't have anticipated
prior to any discussion with
them, while their apparent
diligence in proactively
planning a safer home envi-
ronment confirms for us that
they have embraced what
we are selling.
Proactive efforts toward
a safer home environment
work. I believe that each
attempt at doing so creates
a safer home and overall, a
safer community. We there-
fore want to thank those of
you who have embraced
our message and we will
continue to work diligently
toward convincing all of its
importance.
Thank you.

Computer Troubleshooters - Helping Small Businesses Save MONEY
Jerry Forde, the owner of Com-
puter Troubleshooters located in
West Quincy, has been in business
for nearly fours years now.
During this time, Jerry keeps
hearing the same problems from
nearly all the small businesses he
visits.
"When my computers have
problems or my network is down I
have to call an IT company to come
in and fix the problems. We typi-
cally have to wait hours or some-
times days to get the issues fixed.
These unexpected costs are killing
my business. How can I reduce or
eliminate continual computer and
network problems and reduce my
costs."
As an example, let's take a look
at cars. Computers are no different
than cars. If you do regular main-

tenance, like change your oil every
3,000 miles your car will run bet-
ter longer. Proactive maintenance
reduces the cost of unexpected re-
pairs that would otherwise continue
to occur.
If you do not do regular mainte-
nance on your car then it is only a
matter of time when it will break
down. When a car breaks down it
costs you much more money, time,
and frustration to get it fixed.
So, can this same proactive
maintenance car model apply to
computers and networks?
The answer is yes and Computer
Troubleshooters has the solution.
It's called the B.E.S.T (Business
Enhanced Support Technology)
Plan. The B.E.S.T. service plans of-
fer a low cost service plan avail-
able at a set monthly fee. It is a pro-
active approach to managing your
IT infrastructure - lowering costs,
drastically limiting downtime and
causing fewer headaches.
"The B.E.S.T. plan allows us to
monitor the cUent's computes 24/
7/365 days a year and be
proactively alerted to potential
problems so they can be fixed be-
fore becoming major problems thus
saving significant money.
Monthly reports are delivered to
the clients so they can review first
hand all the work we are doing be-
hind the scenes to keep their com-
puters running smoothly," Forde
says.
"PROACTIVE high quality ser-
vice at a fixed monthly cost. This
is the future of our business and
Computer Troubleshooters has the
right solutions for your small busi-
ness," he adds.
To discuss the Business En-
hanced Support Technology
(B.E.S.T.) plans that Computer
Troubleshooters has on offer, con-
tact Jerry Forde.

Red, White And Blue
Quilts For Soldiers
It's red. white and blue all
over at Quilters' Compass
where piles of quilts hand-
made for American soldiers
are stacked and ready to go.
As of Tuesday, Pat Fey
counted 108 quilts ready for
shipment to soldiers in Iraq,
Afghanistan and Germany.
Fey said another 100
handmade quilts are on their
way and should be ready for
pickup this week by Lesley
Trubiano, the state coordi-
nator for Soldiers' Angels.
"The theme was pa-
triotic," Fey said of the
color scheme on all the
quilts .Many of he 50 stu-
dents helped make quilts at
her parkingway classes and
shop.
The quilts are as varied
as the different people who
created them. Fey described
seniors from 1000 Southern
Artery, 4th graders from
Rhode Island, campers and
two men who stitched a
smart design.
One was made by the
mother of a soldier who just
came home from Iraq as did
Fey's niece and nephew.
"I only started doing this
three months ago," said Fey,
adding that people respond
to the soldiers "in a special
way."
The Soldiers' Angels
project has a goal of 10,000
quilts, according to Fey.
Trubiano, a Braintree
resident, will collect the
Quincy quilts later this
week and they will then be
shipped to North Carolina
and California.
Trubiano said that Sol-
diers Angels are researching
the cheapest method of ship-
ment and the possibility of
donated transport.
"Everybody is a vol-
unteer," Trubiano said of
Soldiers Angels, a nonprofit
group founded in 2003.
Soldiers' Angels offers
20 teams and programs to
aid the Armed Forces.
The groups motto is,
"May No Soldier Go Un-
loved."
Their website describes
the 20 different teams and
programs offered by the
group. These include letters,
care packages, assistance
to wounded, support for
families and support for
chaplains as well as the
"Guardian Angels for Sol-
diers' Pets which cares for
pets during absences.
The group's website is

ment, and streamlining other
services.
"In fact, challenging
times like today make these
reforms even more vital for
the future," Koch said.
While focusing on the
current budget, Koch said a
number of steps taken over
the last several months will
help ease potential prob-
lems in the future. The City
expects to save between $4
million in insurance costs
next year thanks to an agree-
ment to enroll city workers
in the state Group Insurance
Commission.
Koch and other mayors
from across the state met
with Gov. Deval Patrick at
the State House last week,
where state officials outlined
preliminary plans to close a
$1 billion gap in the state
budget. Patrick said cuts to
local aid-which includes $43
million to Quincy-would be
a last resort.
Local aid cuts would be
"devastating," Koch said,
but added that the adminis-
tration is \yorking through a
number of scenarios if they
happen. He noted that his
office is in constant contact
with the city's state legisla-
tive delegation, which he
said is "working tirelessly"
to protect Quincy's interests
at the state level .
"We have to be prepared,
but I think everyone real-
izes how vital state aid is for
education and so many other
services the city provides,"
Koch said.
Fifteen dogs, a bird, a
turtle and a goat recently
were the recipients of a
"Blessing of the Animals"
from the Rev. Ann Suzedell
at the Quincy Point
Congregational Church.
The idea for the ceremony
was suggested by students
at the Quincy Point church
Sunday School who are
raising money for a Heifer
Project "Ark of Animals."
But the inspiration goes
back to St. Francis of Assisi.
Who is most often pictured
in the brown-hooded robe of
his order with a bird perched
on his shoulder.
He urged everyone to
protect and care for all God's
creatures and has come to be
known as the patron saint of
animals.
Fittingly. the cer-
emony at Quincy Point
Congregational Church was
held on St. Francis Sunday,
Oct. 5.

Several Concerns Raised
Council To Continue Hearing On Lowe's Project
By LAURA GRIFFIN
The City Council will
continue its public hearing
on the proposed Lowe's
Home Improvement Ware-
house on Burgin Parkway,
South Quincy, at 6:30 p.m.,
Monday, October 20.
The Lowe's development
team garnered considerable
public support, strong union
support and council support
for the project at the public
hearing during last week's
three and a half hour discus-
sion.
"We look forward to the
job creation," said Ward 6
Councillor Brian McNamee,
voicing the opinion of sev-
eral councillors.
However, developers,
also, faced new queries on
clearance by state envi-
ronmental agencies, traffic
barriers, the unknown plans
for a 2.3 to 2.5 acre lot
carved out from within the
site, tree plantings, and a
planned 50- foot sign.
The Planning Board
voted to recommend the
Lowe's development on
Oct. 1 , but warned that the
City Council should adopt
the specific safeguards de-
tailed in the report and the
recommendations from city
agencies.
"Failure to place adequate
development controls...
will create significant future
unacceptable access, safety
and traffic impacts," accord-
ing to the report.
The Lowe's project
would include a 124,000
square foot building with a
29,000 square foot garden
center and 435 parking
spaces on 16.3 acres with all
access through the former
Penn Street segment via
Burgin Parkway.
The parcel includes the
Grasso Memorial Park
which will be relocated,
and the lots housing Asla-
nis Seafood, Mondadnock
Water Co., and four homes
on Columbia Street, all of
which would be demol-
ished. Monadnock will be
relocated to the Southeast-
em comer of the tract.
Planning Director Dennis
Harrington said the Lowe's
plans were still "under the
scrutiny of the DEP (state's
Department of Environ-
mental Protection)" which
is reviewing its potential
impact on Town Brook and
the 100-year flood plan
At last week's meeting,
Harry Brett, Business Agent
for the Plumbers Union #
12, Boston, outlined union
support for Lowe's.
Brett told councillors that
Lowe's has made a commit-
ment for union labor both
during and after constmc-
tion of their retail home
improvement center.

positive project," said Har-
rington who submitted a
six-page report approved by
the Planning Board.
Harrington outlined ar-
chitectural changes and tree
plantings that Lowe's added
at the city's request, adding,
"Lowe's has stepped up to
the plate."
However, Harrington and
several speakers, also, cited
a separate 2.5 acre segment
nestled within the 16.3 par-
cel that had originally been
designated as green space
but, apparently, will be de-
veloped at a later date.
"It's a little PUD inside
a PUD development," Har-
rington said, "There's going
to be something else. . . ."
Edward Fleming, at-
tomey for the developer,
said the segment had been
"conveyed to another party
(Michael Verrocchi)," but
assured councillors that, as a
PUD-zoned lot, they would
have final approval of any
changes.
Under the PUD, the
smaller lot can accommo-
date a 22,500 square foot
building with 57 parking
spaces.
However, Harrington,
also, said that Lowe's had
not agreed to all of the
recommendations of the
Planning Board, such as
sidewalk, and roof plantings
and screening.
"They refuse to screen
roof equipment," Har-
rington said, referring to
the machinery which would
be installed on the roof for
heat or air-conditioning and
would be visible from the
street.
"We started this three
years ago," said Fleming
who described five to six
neighborhood meetings.
Fleming said Lowe's made
"substantial changes in
response to neighborhood
concerns," including re-
versing the building front
to back, added landscaping
and wrought-iron fencing."
"The building (on the
plan) was flipped to the
other side of the lot," said
Fleming after describing be-
fore noting a number other
concessions and stating
"Lowe's has agree to estab-
lish a mitigation fund."
Fleming said the Lowe's
plan had undergone the
"most extensive review in
the city's history," winning
required approvals by local
boards and state agencies,
as well as votes by he City
Council and the state legis-
lature for the relocafion of
Grasso Memorial Park.
Fleming, said that the
company could not agree to
some expensive proposals,
such as garden space on the
roof and the purchase of ad-
ditional property.
In his report, Harrington
informed councillors that
the entire property is owned
by Brewster Family Land
Trust.
"One corporation con-
trols nine tmsts. This is a
Planned Unit Development
so (Brewster) can lease it to
Lowe's for 20 years." Har-
rington said, adding that the
Lowe's corporation filed the
application.
Edward Boiteau, P.E.,
and Traffic Engineer Mi-
chael Hall, both of Tetra
Tech Rizzo, represented
the developer. They, also,
outlined revisions and im-
provements to the original
plans.
Councillors voiced
several concems and City
Council President Jay Davis
said that "some issues (have)
to be worked out."
Ward 2 Councillor
Daniel Raymondi forecast
heavier traffic ahead on
Burgin Parkway while Ward
3 Councillor Kevin Cough-
lin asked why the proposal
does not conform to the city
shade tree ordinances.
"It didn't apply," said
Fleming, noting that the
ordinance was passed after
Lowe's application.
Coughlin suggested that
compliance with the shade
tree ordinance may not be
required, but could be sig-
nificant in gamering council
support. He described the
massive impervious surface
area detailed in the plans.
"I have a real problem
with a 50-foot sign," said
Councillor John Keenan
who asked about environ-
mental issues, including the
impact of the project on the
smelt in the Town Brook.
Speakers, also, included
William Aylward, publisher
of the Black's Creek news-
letter and John Eckblom, a
business owner on Liberty
Street.
Eckblom said he spoke
for the "quiet majority"
when he asked that two-
way traffic be reinstated on
Columbia Street and the re-
mainder of Penn Street and
the barriers removed.
"It's driven the traffic
into the neighborhood,"
Eckblom said of the barri-
ers which he believes will
seriously hinder fire and
police department access to
homes.
Eckblom submitted pho-
tos of clogged traffic on
Columbia, Plain and Liberty
Streets.
"If the people are silent,
we can't address this issue, "
Davis said after the meeting,
noting that he'd only heard
from area residents pleased
with the barriers and can not
respond to "a silent major-
ity" that don't contact him.
Aylward who has filed an
appeal of the Conservation
Commission decision asked
why there was no mention
of environmental peer re-
view and said, "The DEP
has not spoken on whether it
is satisfied."
Aylward, also, reminded
councillors that the public
comment period for MEPA,
the environmental protec-
tion agency, does not end
until Oct. 24.
Residents Gayle Pat-
ten and Maureen Seviour
submitted letters urging
councillors to require over-
sight and protections for
their neighborhood.
In his letter, Jim Brady
provided councillors with
his research, including a list
of several dozen references,
on the impact of "big box"
retailers on neighborhoods.
Additional comment will
be allowed when the hearing
resumes.

City Seeks Court
Approval To Raze
Former Fruit Stand
City officials will seek
court approval to order
the demolition of a former
fruit stand at 441 Quincy
Avenue.
"I have moved forward
to raze (the structure)," Jay
Duca, Inspectional Service
Chief said last week, adding
he expects to return to court
with a "compelling" case for
demolition.
Duca said he has al-
ready received a report from
Acting Fire Chief Joseph
Barron who labelled the
58-year-old wooden build-
ing a hazard. Duca is await-
ing a similar report from the
City Engineer.
"We're going to take
whatever steps (are neces-
sary)," Duca said of the va-
cant building which he said
is "structurally not safe.
The half-century old
building which is now
boarded up stands oo
Quincy Ave. near the foot of
Riccuiti Drive.
City council recently
voted unanimously to sup-
port the demolition through
a resolution submitted by
Council President Jay Davis
who represents Ward 4.
Davis called the location
a "major gateway in and out
of the City of Quincy" and
cited the many improve-
ments to other businesses in
the area.
In contrast, Davis charged
that the owner has made no
effort to raze or repair the
structure.
According to city records ,
the property is owned by a
trust. Efforts to reach the
owner were unsuccessful,
but, apparently, the property
is for sale.
In the past year, Duca
has sought and won court
approval for demolition or-
ders for other buildings in
the city, such as a house on
Arbedeen Road, Squantum.
The efforts coincide with
the anti-blight measures en-
acted by City Council last
year which set standards
for residential and business
properties in the city.
Code Enforcement
Officer Ken Burke said last
week his office follows up
on complaints on blight,
graffiti and litter, such as
the council's order regulat-
ing newspaper racks and
requirements for their up-
keep.
Burke invited residents
to call his office, 617-376-
1328, with any reports or
questions on blight issues.
LAURA GRIFFIN
FORMER FRL'l I S lAND at 441 Quincy Ave. has been targeted for demolition by city officials.
Building Inspector Jay Duca said he will file for a court order. Duca said Acting Fire Chief
Joseph Barron's report labels the building a hazard.

Five members of Sheriff
Michael Beliotti 's staff
at the Norfolk County
Sheriff's Office were rec-
ognized this week as
Certified Correctional
Health Professionals by the
National Commission on
Correctional Health Care.
Among the certificate
recipients was Supt. Peter
Perroncello, who oversees
all jail operations at the
Norfolk County Correctional
Center.
"Peter Perroncello leads
by example," said Beliotti.
"He is longfime proponent
of training and certification,
and he has established a
standard of professionalism
that permeates our entire op-
erations force.
"I'm proud to see our
health staff pass the certi-
fication exam and demon-
strate their expertise in this
specialized set of circum
stances within the health
field"
Registered nurses Laurie
Carroll, Michael Kaurenan,
Denise Burke and dental
hygienist Pauline Silva also
received recognition from
the National Commission
on Correctional Health Care
(NCCHC), whose stated
mission is "to improve the
quality of care in the nation's
jails, prisons, and juvenile
detention and confinement
facilities."
Assistant Deputy Supt.
Tara Brown, who is the chief
of the Health Services Unit,
and Kristina Russo, the di-
rector of the Psychological
Services at the jail, were
certified by the NCCHC ear-
lier this year.
"The medical treatment
requirements of an inmate
population tend to be more
intensified than those of the
general population, particu-
larly in the mental health
area." Beliotti said "Our
highly trained staff deserves
the recognition they are re-
ceiving for the expert work
they do."
The Norfolk County
Sheriff's Office has earned a
reputation for this commit-
ment to professionalism The
American Jail Association
has certified Perroncello
as a jail manager, and 22
correction officers have re-
ceived AJA certification,
with another 15 on the verge
of certification as they await
results from a recent exam.

Weatherstripping
Basics
Q:;
,Thi.s is my second
year in an apart-
ment with drafty vvinduvvs.
The landlord said it was
OK Tor us to do whatever
we like to stop the cold air
from rushing in. Tin tired
of putting up crinkly, ugly
plastic sheets, though. Is
there an alternative? —
Blair J., Maiden, Mass.
A .You have some addi-
• tional options besides
plastic sheeting. Weaihcr-
stripping can stop drafts
while allowing windows to
be opened or closed a.s usual.
Three types of material are
available: metal, vinyl or
felt. They are attached one
of two ways — with brads
(very small nails) or by
adhesive attached to the
back of the strip. Vinyl or
felt stripping is easier to
work with, while metal
stripping is much more
durable.
Since you're in a tempo-
rary living situation. I'd rec-
ommend you stick with
vinyl weatherstripping, par-
ticularly compressible foam
strips. These strips come on
a roll that costs less than
$10, and they have an adhe-
sive backing so that all you
have to do is peel and stick.
Run a strip along the bottom
of the window sash — the
pan that meets the frame
when you close the window.
Be sure clean the adhesive
area well and let dry. If the
outdoor temperature is
below 45 degrees Fahren-
heit, you'll want to heat the
sash bottom for a couple of
minutes with a hair dryer to
ensure the strip will stick
well.
If your windows rattle and
have drafts coming in all
around, add tubular vinyl
stripping. This is a roll of
tubing, sometimes with a
flat strip protruding from the
side. It's applied to the out-
side of the window along the
edges. Hold the strip flat and
taut against the bottom and
sides of the sash while a
partner carefully nails the
tubing to the sash (use only
brads to attach, and don't
nail to the sill).
If you can't access the out-
side of the windows because
you're in an upper-level
apartment, run felt weather-
stripping along the interior
sides of the window sash,
folding over and along the
lop and bottom if possible.
The felt strip may have an
adhesive back, but should
also be attached with brads
spaced about 3 inches apart.

I^irning Garages Into Living Space
(NAPSA)-Finding inex-
pensive ways to expand liv-
ing space is a top priority for
many American families.
The good news is that there
are plenty of ways to find
more room in your home
without expensive renova-
tions.
For instance, giving your
garage a quick makeover
can help turn it into an extra
playroom, a home office or
even a workout room. Or a
few tweaks could increase
the storage space in your
garage, helping you free
up living space throughout
your house. Whatever your
reasons for expanding the
garage, a few expert tips
could help:
Wall To Wall
If you plan to use the ga-
rage for storage, consider
covering the walls with a
material you can use to hang
tools and equipment. Try
different types of plywood,
slatboard or a specially de-
signed organizing system.
If you want to use the ga-
rage for a living space, new
types of wood paneling can
be an inexpensive quick fix.
Use it to cover unattractive
walls and to give the garage
a clean, modem look.
Fabulous Floors
Chances are your garage
floor needs some work and
a product such as Behr Pre-
mium 2-Part Epoxy Garage
Floor Coating can do the
trick. Available at participat-
ing The Home Depot stores,
it's a high-performance, wa-
ter-based coating that helps
transform concrete floors by
giving them a showroom-
quality finish. The premium
coating requires no priming
and, once mixed, is ready
for use by simply rolling
the coating on right from
the built-in paint tray. The
durable finish is easy to
clean, has a unique, built-
in, nonskid finish and resists
scuffing, fading, cracking,
peeling and blistering. It
comes in two popular pre-
mixed colors, Silver Gray
and Tan, and can be tinted
into 36 custom colors. And
for those who still plan to
use their garage for the car,
the product provides long-
lasting protection against
motor oil, gasoline, anti-
freeze, brake fluid, salt, hot
tire pickup and other com-
mon elements.
Close The Door
If you're keeping your
current garage door, use
some caulk to seal up any
cracks it might have. If you
plan to get a new garage
door, consider buying one
that is insulated. Doing so
There are easy ways to convert
your garage floor into a high-per-
formance, showroom-quality floor.
can help make your garage
a year-round room and can
also help with heating and
cooling bills. If you plan to
install the garage door your-
self, be sure to measure ac-
curately, so the new door has
plenty of space to roll up.

ed an improvement over the
sharp 46 percent decline in
the April to June quarter's
year to year look back," he
said.
O'Donnell said "this
levelling in the number of
deeds recorded indicates
some resilience in the over-
all activity in the Norfolk
real estate market, although
the average sale price of
deeds over $1,000 (both
residential and commercial
properties) fell to $516,189,
a 28% decrease from the
same quarter in 2007.
"At least some of this
decline is most likely at-
tributable to the strength of
the previous year's quarter's
more numerous higher end
commercial transactions.
This average price was off
only 8% from the April to
June, 2008 quarter."
O'Donnell also reported
mortgage recording activity
declined this past quarter,
down 23% on a year-to-year
basis with 6,435 new mort-
gages being recorded in
the quarter. Total mortgage
value for the quarter stood
at just over $2.7 billion, off
70% from July to Septem-
ber, 2007.
"It is important to note
that this total mortgage
value amount does not nec-
essarily represent the true
increase in indebtedness
as some mortgages may
be recorded multiple times
against different parcels of
land, are refinances simply
replacing existing debt, or
are recorded to secure eq-
uity credit lines which may
not be drawn to their capac-
ity," O'Donnell said.

as well.
"This has really been an

his mien turned nasty and
he drove away in a car that
looked like the Rev. Gif-

A portion of copper tub-

"We have turned the mat-

the church secretary. "I've
heard recommendations for
more lighting and motion
detectors in the area,"
The Rev. Karen Palmati-

she was curious who report-
ed the theft at her church.
"We're not doing any-
thing different," she said.
"We always keep the office
door locked. A lot of people
pass through here."
In addition to those al-
ready mentioned, the Quincy
churches that were victim-

Church in Quincy Point.

A Job Well Done
On Tuesday, October 8, 2008, at approximately 12:05
p.m.. Officers John O'Donnell and Brian Flaherty were
dispatched to 91 Highland Av-
enue on a report of a break-
ing and entering in progress.
The suspect was described
as an Asian male standing
at the side of the house.
Officer Flaherty arrived on
location first and spotted the
suspect next to the house. As
the suspect fled. Officer Fla-
herty radioed, "He's rurihing
through the back yard". Offi-
cer O'Donnell hurried over to
the comer of Hobart and Bel-
mont Streets in order to se-
cure a perimeter. Seconds later. Officer Flaherty, while
in foot pursuit, stated over the radio, "He's running back
onto Highland Avenue."
Officer O'Donnell turned around at the intersection
of Hobart Street and Highland Avenue and spotted the
suspect, an Asian male with a backpack on, running south-
bound on Highland Avenue, then turning northbound onto
Hobart Street, followed by a female in close pursuit of the
suspect. This female was soon identified as off-duty Of-
ficer Kristen Bowes, who closed in quickly on the sus-
pect and then apprehend him from behind with both arms
and subsequently taken to the ground. Officer O'Donnell
then handcuffed the suspect.
The suspect was searched and inside his backpack were
his identification, green bolt cutters and gray all-pur-
pose work gloves. Officer Flaherty arrived on scene and
confirmed that the suspect was the same person who was
at the side door of the residence and fled upon seeing the
Police. Officer Flaherty said the suspect leaped over the
railing in the backyard and fled.
Officer Bowes, who was off-duty, stated that she ob-
served the suspect loitering in the yard where the break
occurred. She witnessed him ring the doorbell for a few
minutes, then go back out to the front of the house. She
said he was there for several minutes when she heard a
loud noise like a window breaking. She said this is
when she called the Police. She said that she then ob-
served a truck come down the street and the suspect brief-
ly ducked out of sight until the vehicle passed by. After
looking around, the suspect went back to the side door
and this was when Officer Flaherty arrived.
After securing the suspect. Officer O'Donnell went to
the scene of the crime and observed that the window of
the side door was smashed with glass on the ground.
There were also several pry marks on the wood portion of
the door between the knob and the dead bolt. The storm
door was unlocked.
The suspect, a 20 year old Boston resident was charged
with breaking and entering in the daytime and posses-
sion of burglarious tools. The victims were not home at
the time and they were soon contacted. Officers search-
ing the area for additional evidence found a crowbar in a
nearby backyard.

Host Rockland Friday At 7 PM
Red Raiders Dominate,
Improve To 4-1 Record
By SEAN BRENNAN
And the beat goes on for
the North Quincy Red Raid-
ers.
Coming off three consec-
utive victories over Sharon
(28-0), Plymouth South (12-
7) and Whitman-Hanson
(21-0) High Schools, North
Quincy continued to flex its
muscles over the weekend
with another smack down of
a Patriot League opponent.
The Raiders (4-1 overall,
2-1 in Patriot League play)
once again dominated on
defense, pitching their third
shutout in the last month,
and used a power running
game and spectacular play
of its offensive line to close
out Pembroke High School
32-0 on Saturday.
The win, the team's forth
victory in a row and sec-
ond league win in as many
weeks, puts North Quincy in
a three-way tie for first place
in the Patriot League's Fish-
er Division with Hanover
and Rockland High Schools
at 1-0. North is scheduled
to play both Rockland (Oct.
17) and Hanover (Oct. 24)
in the coming weeks.
"It was a great team win
for us against Pembroke,"
said NQ head coach Jim
Connor. "For the fourth
straight week we had a
strong running game and a
strong defensive effort.
"We are starting to play
complete football games
and the chemistry that I have
seen developing on both
sides of the ball is great. I
keep telling the kids that if
they give 100% we should
keep coming out on top."
With the defense play-
ing at the highest level at
the moment-one offensive
touchdown in the last 16
quarters, it was the offense's
time to shine against Pem-
broke. More specifically
the offensive line's time to
shine.
Five North Quincy run-
ning backs rushed for more
than 30 yards apiece as the
team racked up over 300
yards on 45 carries, finish-
ing the game with three
touchdowns. Fullback Brian
Donaghey led all rushers
with 63 yards. But it was
the play of the five starters
on the 0-Line that got the
job done in the trenches all
game long.
"Chris Bergeron, A J
Morfe, Joe Benoit, Mike
Benoit and RJ Barden have
all been playing together
a long time," said Connor.
"They know each other's
limits and have great chem-
istry. That is so valuable.
"They are all 'football
fans.' They seem to enjoy
playing with each other and
they are all just a real good
football players. Their play
FOOTBALL
North Quincy - 32
Pembroke - 0
helps the defense as much as
the offense."
After a back-and-forth
first quarter of play, neither
team was able to find the
end zone as the game went
into the second quarter tied
at 0-0. In the second quarter,
the Raiders' received contri-
butions from both sides of
the ball. Junior quarterback
Mike Stanton scored on a
one-yard run to close out an
extended drive that started
the quarter; a successful
point after attempt (PAT)
put North up 7-0 with time
running out in the first half.
On Pembroke's final
drive of the second quar-
ter the North defense came
through, like it has over and
over again the last month,
with a big play. Pembroke,
facing a third and 10 at is
own 15-yard line, dropped
back into a passing forma-
tion, but North's Joe Benoit
came flying through the
middle of the Pembroke line
and forced a fumble that was
recovered at the Pembroke
seven-yard line.
On third down and goal to
go for the Raiders, Stanton
found senior captain Patrick
Watkins open in the flat for
the seven-yard touchdown.
A missed PAT put the score
at 13-0 North Quincy at the
halftime break.
Pembroke came out of
the locker room looking to
get back into the game; An-
drew Chapman broke mul-
tiple tackles on the kickoff,
returning the ball 64-yards,
to open the second half, but
the Raider defense, again,
stood its ground.
North's Matt Jay (along
with Tim Stille), who had
saved a touchdown with a
shoe-string tackle on Chap-
man's kickoff return, made
the play of the game for NQ
on third down and long for
Pembroke on their opening
drive of the half. After two
minimal runs put Pembroke
in a third and long situation,
Jay intercepted a pass in the
end zone, preserving the
13-0 lead and giving the ball
back to the Raiders.
"We had plenty of great
plays by our defense, but
this interception by Matt
was the play of the game,"
added Connor. "The score
was only 13-0 and a touch-
down there changes the
whole complexion of the
game. Big play."
Stanton, his stable of run-
ning backs and his offensive
line took advantage of the
play of Jay and the defense
by storming down the field
and scoring another touch-
down-after first punting the
ball back to Pembroke and
forcing the Titians to give it
back on downs. Watkins (2
TDs) scored on a six -yard
run to finish off the drive.
Another missed PAT put the
score at 19-0 entering the fi-
nal quarter of play.
Pembroke, facing a 19-0
fourth quarter deficit, took
the ball back after Watkins
second touchdown look-
ing to pass the ball and
score quickly. But NQ's RJ
Barden had other ideas.
On Pembroke's first play
from scrimmage, quarter-
back Luke Leavitt dropped
back to pass, but Barden
jumped the route and took
the interception 32 yards for
the score; the final nail in
the coffin.
"Barden is a heck of a
player," said Connor. "That
play changed the game.
(The lead) didn't feel that
comfortable until that point.
"The defense did their
job all game. We allowed
only 71 yards of total of-
fense against Pembroke and
credit has to go to Coach
Dom Barbudo-the defensive
coordinator-who has done a
great job getting them pre-
pared all season."
North Quincy finished up
the scoring on its final pos-
session of the game. The
offensive line wore down
the Pembroke defense on
this 10-play, 56-yard drive.
The Raiders' Terrell Staley
closed out the drive with a
22-yard touchdown run. Fi-
nal score: NQ 32, Pembroke
0.
North Quincy hosts
Rockland at 7 p.m. Friday at
Veterans Stadium.
Notes: The Raider run
defense allowed only 51
yards on 21 carries against
Pembroke... NQ's next four
games (Rockland, Hanover,
Randolph and Middleboro)
are all against Fisher Divi-
sion opponents... North has
scored 93 points and has al-
lowed just 31 points against.
That differential is the best
+/- in the Patriot League...
During their four game win-
ning streak NQ has a +10
turnover ratio (13 for and
three against).

Presidents Bow To Dragons
The Quincy Presidents
put up a resilient fight
against football powerhouse
Duxbury High School last
Saturday at Veterans Memo-
rial Stadium, but in the end,
lost 18-0.
With the loss, Quincy 's
record now stands at 2-3
overall and 1-1 in Patriot
League play. The Presidents,
who play in the Keenan Di-
vision of the Patriot League,
had previously beaten
Rockland High School, a
member of the Fisher Divi-
sion, 7-6,two weeks ago for
its only Patriot League win
of the fall.
The game versus the
Duxbury Dragons coincided
with Homecoming Week-
end for the QHS football
program, and after a score-
less first quarter of play, the
potential was still there for
a probably upset of one of
Massachusetts' best football
programs. But that 0-0 score
quickly became an 11-0
deficit by halftime.
Duxbury took its first
possession of the second
quarter deep into the Presi-
dents' side of midfield, but
after missing on two at-
tempts for a touchdown, the
Dragons settled for a field
goal try. Duxbury kicker
Ben Starzell lined up for a
20-yard attempt and buried
it right between the posts for
the 3-0 lead.
After the Presidents were
forced to give the ball back
to the Dragons on their
next possession, Duxbury
once again capitalized with
points. As time was run-
ning out on the quarter, the
Dragons moved down the
field and eventually found
themselves facing a first and
goal from inside the Quincy
10-yard line.

yard touchdown score.. Cross
then found Whitney open in
the back of the end zone to
complete the two-point con-
version. At the end of the
first half Duxbury held an
11-0 lead.
When the second half got
under way it was more of
the same for the Presidents:
very little movement on of-
fense and too much time on
the field for the defense. Af-
ter a scoreless third quarter
of play, Duxbury finished
off the scoring with a long
touchdown pass from Cross
to wide receiver Quinn
Cully. The 46-yard touch-
down bomb quelled any
thought Quincy may have
had of making a late-game
comeback.
Duxbury junior Bobby
Murphy (80 yards rushing),
playing in place of all-
state running back Shane
DiBona, had two potential
touchdowns called back
because of penalties, but
the Presidents could never
capitalize on the Dragons'
mistakes.
This game against
Duxbury began a five-
game stretch in which the
Presidents are scheduled
to play every member of
the Keenan Division of the
Patriot League. Next up for
Quincy is an away game
against Whitman-Hanson
HS this Friday at 7 p.m.
Quincy will then play a
road game against Silver
Lake HS (Oct. 25), a home
game against Scituate HS
(Oct. 31), before ending the
season with away games
against Hingham HS (Nov.
7) and North Quincy HS
(Nov. 27).
Notes: Quincy is 1-2 at
Veterans Memorial Stadium
and 1-1 on the road... The
Presidents have scored 54
points in five games and
have allowed 60 points.

HEALTH and FITNESS
by
Fitness Back-Up
Plan
Setting a realistic fitness
schedule is one of the most
imptHiant elements in
developing a successful fit*
ness and nutrition routine.
It is equally important to
remember that each day
may not work out exactly as
we had planned. Emergen-
cies, family priorities and
last-minute appointments
all can put a wrench in the
most carefully planned fit-
ness regimen.
Establishing a fitness
back-up plan can eliminate
the stress or guilt that can
occur from the inability to
follow your fitness routine
completely. The key is to
remain active and look for
opportunities to squeeze
alternative activities into
your day.
Here are some tips:
• Stretch. Take several
minutes out of your day to
stretch your whole body.
Stretching your shoulders,
neck, back, arms and legs
can help you relax and pro-
mote blood now to areas of
the body that may otherwise
remain sedentary and tense
all day.
• Take the stairs! Walk the
stairs instead of using the
elevator. Climbing a few
flights of stairs several times
a day will increase your
heart rate slightly and help
bum extra calories.
• Park the car and walk.
Don't keep driving around
the parking lot looking for a
close-in space to become
available. The extra few feet
you may have to walk to
reach your destination is a
great way to stimulate your
muscles.
• Eat breakfast. Starting
your day with a well-bal-
anced meal is extremely
important to kick-start your
metabolism and prepare
your body for the day's
activities.
• T^ce a walk. You may
have missed your favorite
aerobic class at the gym, but
you can still complete your
aerobic workout. Taking a
walk or cycling are great
alternatives that can be done
almost anywhere.
• Drink plenty of water.
Staying hydrateii is always
important. Water helps the
functions of your muscles
and tissues, and can act as
an appetite suppressant.
• Play with the kids. Run-
ning around with (or after)
the kids is a fun way to exer-
cise. The constant moving,
bending and reaching incor-
porate all of the components
of most filness programs.
While these fitness back-
up tips cannot replace the
benefits of a dedicated fit-
ness routine, they are a
healthy alternative to doing
nothing when your fitness
program gets sidetracked.
Always consult a physi-
cian before beginning an
exercise program. If you
have a fitness or training
question, write to Andrea in

ly Service. P.O. Box 536475.

D FOR DENTAL HEALTH
It seems that recent re-
search has found that vitamin
D confers more health benefits
than was once thought. The
most recent finding shows
that babies born to mothers
with taw vitamin D levels may
be at increased risk for tooth
enamel defects and early
childhood decay. This is im-
portant because researchers
found that only 10.5 percent
of the women studied dur-
ing their second trimester of
pregnancy had adequate vita-
min D levels. With this study
in mind, women of childbear-
ing age may want to be sure
that they are eating foods that
are rich in nutrients, including
vitamin D. If necessary, sup-
plemental vitamins/.minerals
may be considered, always
keeping daily recommenda-
tkxis and intake limits in mind.
Vitamin D is necessary for
the intestines to absorb dietary
cateium. Vitamin D comes
from food and is also produced
by the skin upon exposure to
sunlight. We want to help you.

Candy Or Apples ?
Tips For Celebrating A Healthier Halloween
With Halloween right
around the comer, it's time
to start thinking about what
treats you're going to hand
out to the tots.
Should you let the kids
have the sugar that they're
expecting and hoping for or
should you be the house on
the block with the healthy
stuff?
According to the Alli-
ance for a Healthier Genera-
tion, a joint initiative of the
American Heart Association
and the William J. Clinton
Foundation, you may want
to pick the healthy stuff as
today's generation of chil-
dren may become the first
in American history to live
shorter lives than their par-
ents.
Many kids today are
suffering from "adult prob-
lems" such as high blood
pressure, Type 2 diabetes
and high cholesterol.
To help prevent those
diseases and teach your chil-
dren how to make healthier
food choices, consider these
tips to keep the ghosts and
goblins a little healthier
along the way, and Happy
Halloween!
1. Feed 'em First -
make sure your kids are fu-
eled up before they go trick-
or-treating with a healthy
silack or meal, so they don't
dip into their treats.
2. Pillow Cases are for
Pillows - give the kids
smaller treat bags like re-
cycled grocery bags so they
won't bring home too many
sweets, and keep the pil-
low cases and trash bags at
home!
3. Surprise 'em with
Health, not Horror - Be the
healthy house on the block
by offering treats like pre-
packaged snack-sized dried
fruit, pretzels, or baby car-
rots.
4. Give 'em Treasures for
Treats - Hand out boxes of
crayons, stickers, colored
pencils, erasers, Hallow-
een tattoos (the removable
kind!), or rubber spiders!
5. Patrol Those Treats -
After inspecting all treats
to make sure they're safe,
remind the kids to eat their
treats in moderation, so they
last longer (wink, wink).
Store the bag in a high but
public place so you won't
be tempted to snack on the
candy either!
A New Look At Diabetes And Vision
(NAPSA)-People with
diabetes know well that
healthy diet, exercise and
regular glucose monitoring
are essential for reducing
the risk of serious, even life-
threatening complications.
But for people with
diabetes and vision loss-a
common side effect of ad-
vanced diabetes-there 's yet
another level of complica-
tion and risk added to a pa-
tient's treatment regimen. If
you are one of the 3 million
Americans now living with
both conditions, there is a
new guide from the Ameri-
can Foundation for the Blind
(AFB) to help you manage
your health safely and effec-
tively.
The guide, available at
www.afb.org/seniorsite, ad-
dresses the health issues fac-
ing people with diabetes and
vision loss, such as diet, ex-
ercise and monitoring blood
glucose levels. The good
news is that with the help of
specially trained health pro-
fessionals, you can learn the
skills to independently man-
age your diabetes. Some of
these tips include:
Eat smart. Healthy eating
is where all diabetes care be-
gins. Controlling carbohy-
drates and fats, using whole
grains and eating plenty of
fresh vegetables are familiar
guidelines to most people
living with diabetes. If you
also have vision loss, you
can learn adaptive tech-
niques for grocery shopping
and preparing meals, and
giving special attention to
measuring portion sizes ac-
curately.
Stay active. Regular
physical activity is essential
to diabetes management. It
helps keep heart and blood
vessels healthy, can help
prevent diabetes-related
complications and can help
to keep blood glucose levels
near normal. Many physi-
cal activities can be adapted
and enjoyed by people with
vision loss, including walk-
ing, dancing, gardening,
swimming and tandem bik-
ing. Remember to talk to
your doctor before starting
an exercise program.
Monitor your health.
When managing diabetes,
your good health depends on
your ability to both monitor
and understand your blood
sugar, as well as your blood
pressure, weight and body
temperature. If you have
vision loss, consider invest-
ing in large-print or talking
blood glucose meters, blood
pressure monitors, thermom-
eters and weight scales.
Manage your medica-
tion. Medication manage-
ment is one of the earliest
obstacles that people with
Regular physical activity is
essential to diabetes manage-
ment. Fortunately, many physical
activities can be adapted and
enjoyed by people with vision
loss.
vision loss must confront
in order to continue living
independently. Most people
are able to address these is-
sues by adopting a few new
skills that apply to every-
thing from taking aspirin
for a headache to measuring
insulin.

cessfully managing diabetes
with vision loss, visit AFB

Discover The Link Between Pain And Poor Sleep
(ARA) - There is no over-
stating the value of a good
night's sleep. Rejuvenating,
uninterrupted rest delivers a
host of health benefits, from
re-energizing you for the
day ahead to relieving many
forms of pain.
Whether pain stems from
arthritis, injury, surgery or
chronic disease, it is so in-
extricably linked with sleep
deprivation that these condi-
tions often feed each other,
experts say. The less sleep
you get, the more pain you
may feel. The more pain
you experience, the less
likely you are to get a good
night's rest. Conversely, un-
disturbed slumber for the
recommended number of
hours seems to reduce pain
for many people.
"According to Tempur-
Pedic's 2008 Night-time Re-
newal Survey, 94 percent of
Americans say that a good
night's sleep results in them
feeling less neck and back
pain the next day," says Dr.
Barry Bittman, neurologist,
chief executive officer of the
Mind-Body Wellness Cen-
ter and member of Tempur-
Pedic's Wellness Advisory
Board. "And more than 93
percent of Americans agree
that quality sleep is an in-
tegral part of a healthy life-
style.
Bittman advises that if
pain is disrupting your rest,
seek help. "A rational ap-
proach includes compre-
hensive medical evaluations
that address both the pain
and the inability to get qual-
ity sleep. Healthy lifestyle
changes with a focus on nu-
trition, exercise and stress
reduction can make a world
of difference for many indi-
viduals. Sleeping on a bed
that enables you to enjoy a
restorative night's sleep can
also help break the pain/
sleeplessness cycle."
Fortunately, there are
many ways you can help
improve your rest. In its
Web-based "Ask the Ex-
pert" column, the National
Sleep Foundation offers the
following tips:
* Curtail caffeine con-
sumption. "It's not just a
wives' tale - caffeine really
is a stimulant that can in-
terfere with sleep," Bittman
says. "Reduce your intake
throughout the day and es-
pecially avoid caffeine in
the hours prior to bedtime."
* Limit alcohol con-
sumption and avoid it alto-
gether in the evening. "Even
moderate alcohol consump-
tion can act as a stimulant
that disrupts sleep," Bittman
says.
* Avoid vigorous exer-
cise just before bedtime.
"For many people, exercise
is far more beneficial if per-
formed earlier in the day,"
Bittman says.
* Don't nap too long in
the afternoon - no more than
10 to 20 minutes. "Short
naps can be very benefi-
cial," Bittman says. "But
long naps during the day
may actually make it harder
to fall asleep at night."
* Practice relaxation
techniques like deep breath-
ing and meditation.
"I would also add that if
you're sleeping on an old,
uncomfortable mattress, or
one with any dips or body
impressions, replace it,"
Bittman says. "Mattresses
that offer gentle support
to your entire body can re-
lieve pressure, stiffness and
ultimately pain for many
people."

In planning your estate, how can you
set a fixed amount for your funeral
costs - thus assuring that your heirs
won't spend more than you would con-
sider reasonable for such services?
One answer appears to be in pre-need
SCOTT DEWARE ^^ 'advance' plans. Today, pre-need
plans are an important part of the funeral busuess. These
plans can be used anywhere m the country and are fully
protected. There are several advantages to a pre-need plan.
One of the main advantages, of course, is to 'lock in' the
expenses of funeral arrangements. A person who purchases
a plan at today's costs can be assured that funeral services
at the same level and quaUty will be suppUed at the time of
death, even if that is many years into the future.
If considering advanced plannuig or inquiring about
funeral service options, we at the Deware Funeral Home
are available at any time to talk to you about the options.
And remember the decisions wUl be yours. Satisfying your
needs and desires is always our main consideration. We will
answer all questions honestiy and frankly and in the strictest
of confidence. At no obligation, of course. . .

ment brings together young

weeks of weather and over
150 matches played, the
championships have been
won and the trophies have
been awarded.
It was familiar scene in
the Women's Singles tinals
as Patrice Sullivan and
Phoebe Chan met once again
in the finals. Both women
had three Women's Singles
titles on their resumes head-
ing into the match; Sullivan
was victorious: 6-4, 6-4.
She joins Pam Trafton and
Elizabeth Ryan as the most
successful competitors in
the Women's Singles event,

tured the Men's 50 and Over
title with a, 7-6, 6- 1 , victory
over tournament veteran

feated Paul Daikos,6-4,6-2,
in one semifinal while Eaton
knocked off Ken Tarabelli,
6-4, 6-2, in the other semi-
final match.
Del Rosso was presented
with the Richard Meade

Director John Franceschini
after his win in the finals.
For the third year in a
row, Patrice Sullivan and
Helen Mao squared off in
the finals of the Women's 35
and Over Singles event. In
one of the most competitive
matches of the tournament,
Mao won 1-6, 6-4, 7-5; earn-
ing her second Women's 35

telle defeated John Zamoch,

match and Zamoch beat Job

6-1, in the other semifinal
match. .

Three Free Flu Clinics
Slated For November
The Quincy Health
Department and the Quincy
Medical Center are gearing
up for their annual struggle
with that old wintertime en-
emy, the flu.
The Health Department
has already set up three pub-
lic flu clinics to administer
vaccine to just about every-
one over the age of 1 8 free
of charge. The schedule:
, *^ Sunday, Nov. 9, from
10 ajn. to 2 pan. at the
Wollaston School, 205
BealeSt.,WoUaston.
Wednesday, Nov. 19,
from 9:30 to 11 ajn. at the
Elks Lodge, 254 Quarry
St., West Quincy.
Friday, Nov. 21, from
9:30 to 11 ajn. at St.
Thomas Aquinas Hall on
Darrow Street, Houghs
Neck.
Those more than 65 years
of age should bring their
Medicare B or other insur-
ance cards since the city will
be reimbursed for the cost of
their shots.
"Don't worry. There's
plenty of vaccine to go
around," said Health
Commissioner Drew
Scheele. "I expect a busy
season, as far as shots go,
anyway."
The Center for Disease
lllllilill
Control (CDC) has decided
on a new approach, said
Scheele, under which ev-
eryone will be vaccinated
except those under 18, who
will get their shots from
their pediatricians/
Scheele as well as Dolly
Darcy and Sharon Giordani,
nurses at Quincy Medical
Center, reconmiend that the
best way to avoid the flu
is the annual flu shot "and
wash your hands — a lot."
"It is a good idea to get
a flu shot as soon as they
are available, which is right
now," said Darcy.
"(jetting the vaccine
early provides protection
throughout the flu season
which can stretch into the
spring. But even if you get
a shot later in the season, it
will still provide some pror
tection."
Giordani warned that in-
dividual sufferer could start
to infect others the day be-
fore symptoms develop be-
fore they even know they
are sick themselves.
"I would encourage ev-
eryone, in addition the be-
ing vaccinated, to practice
frequent hand washing to
decrease your chances of
getting the flu as well as
colds and other illnesses.
"And if you are sick with
a cold or flu, try to reduce
your contact with others
and cover your coughs and
sneezes with the crook of
your arm or with a tissue
to help keep germs from
spreading."
Darcy and Giordani pro-
vide primary care services
at the Boston University
Medical Group at Quincy
Medical Center on
Wednesday evenings.

Koch: 'We're In Decent
Shape - Not Great Shape '
City Tightening
Financial Belt
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Financial turmoil is rocking
cities and towns across the
state and nation, but the cri-
sis has not struck Quincy...
yet, according to Mayor
Thomas Koch who warned
Monday that, next year, fi-
nances will likely deterio-
rate.
Our revenues and ex-
penditures are right in line,"
Koch said but the city is on
high alert,
"We know the situation
is fluid." Koch said, not-
ing that the administration
is tightening the budget
belt, checking revenues and
watching for changes week-
Koch outlined the city's
financial situation during his
State of the City address at
City Council Monday.
"We're in decent shape.
We're not in great shape."
Koch said noting later that
the city's growth at $3 mil-
lion to $3.5 million is "not
as healthy" as expected and
will not reach an estimated
$5 million mark.
However, the foreclosure
crisis has not damaged city
finances substantially and
residents have been paying
their taxes and water and
sewer bills
While there have been 64
foreclosures within the city,
most have been taken by
banks, according to Koch
who said only a handful are
in tax title. "This has not had
a major impact."
Koch said that finances
appear fairly stable for the
balance of this fiscal year*
thanks to the anticipated
state aid, savings on trash
collection, and a tight city
budget.
In addition, Koch said
he has directed department
heads to review their bud-
gets, and cut or eliminate
capital purchases, such as
vehicles and equipment.
"All the capital purchas-

es have been put off," said
Koch. As an example, he
said the city will not pur-
chase the nine police cruis-
ers budgeted for this year.
Koch said he will not
order a hiring freeze, but
will scrutinize all new hires.
"We re filling positions. We
don't believe a hinng freeze
makes sense."
"The core services are
what we are keeping in
mind." said Koch who said
that the city is not cur-
rently filling an opening for
Shellfish Warden, but will
likely hire firefighters for
the fire department.

Purchaser Found For
Blighted Fruit Stand
The dilapidated onetime
fruit stand at 441 Quincy
Ave., Quincy Point, that is
a prime candidate for the
wrecking ball, has come un-
der a developer's purchase
and sale agreement.
"I pointed out to him the
danger the building is to
the roadway," said Ward 2
City Councillor Daniel Ray-
mondi, who last week filed
a resolution supporting its
demolition.
The prospective buyer
of the property, which is
owned by a trust, was not
identified, except to say he
is not a major developer but
has been involved in local
development before.
Raymondi's resolution,
which was erroneously cred-
ited to Ward4City Councillor
Jay Davis in last week's
Quincy Sun, calls on the
Inspectional Services Direc-
tor and Code Enforcement
Officer to take steps to have
the building razed.
"The Building Inspec-
tor has been terrific," said
Raymondi. "I intend to
keep the pressure on until
the building and the two old
billboards on the property
are gone."
Raymondi's resolution
describes the building as "an
eyesore within our city that
detracts from other proper-
ties ... in a major gateway
in and out of the city of
Quincy"
The 58-year-old wooden
building has been designat-
ed a hazard by acting Fire
Chief Joseph Barron.

Mayor's Finance
Reform Gets 5-4
Council Green Light
The City Council has
approved Mayor Thomas
Koch's plans to create
a centralized finance
department in a move, he
says, that will pave the
way for one of the most
substantial government
reforms in recent years.
The new Department
of Municipal Finance will
become the nerve center of
the city's fiscal operations,
with responsibilities
ranging from paying
bills, reviewing contracts,
managing budgets to
tracking revenues and
a series of other duties.
Currently, those duties are
spread among a series of
different departments.
Koch said the goal
of the new department,
which includes only
one new job and will
cost limited additional
money, will dramatically
improve efficiency and
accountability within the
city's $230 million financial
operation. Ultimately,
greater accountability will
mean better service-and
savings-for taxpayers, he
said.
"We are committed
changing the way City Hall
does business, and this is a
huge step toward ensuring
our city stays on solid
ground financially," Koch
said after the meeting.
"1 wish to thank the City
Council for its continuing
desire to work together on
important issues like this."
The Council voted
5-4 to approve the new
department after several
hours of debate over the
courseofmultiplemeetings.
Councillors debated more
than a dozen amendments
to the proposal, most of
which were agreed to by
the administration.
Voting for it were John
Keenan, Kevin Coughlin,
Leo Kelly, Michael
McFarland and Brian
McNamee . Voting against it
were Joseph Finn, Douglas
Gutro, Dan Raymondi and
City Council President Jay
Davis.
The plan includes
reorganizing existing
financial departments by
shifting many of the duties
currently performed by the
City Auditor to the new
department. Traditionally,
the City Auditor, a job
appointed by the City
Council, has performed
duties far beyond what
would be considered the
function of an auditor.
Under Koch's proposal,
the City Auditor position
will maintain is oversight
function under the
jurisdiction of the City
Council .
"By changing
responsibilities, the
Auditor's oversight
capacity will be greatly
enhanced," Koch said.
"The check on the
administration will always
be there , and I look forward
to working with the
Council's appointment."
Koch's proposal is one
of several since he took
office in January in an
effort to make City Hall
GOVERNOR DEVAL PATRICK (center) visited City Hall with good news on local aid. Patrick
told city leaders he will try to leave local aid untouched despite the state's economic crisis. From
left are Councillors Joseph Finn, Leo Kelly, Douglas Gutro, John Keenan, Council President Jay
Davis , Mayor Thomas Koch, Rep, Walter Timilty of Milton (behind Koch), Rep. Bruce Avers,

more "efficient, responsive
and accountable." The
former Department of
Constituent Services is
now part of the Mayor's
Office, a cost-saving trash
collection contract is in
effect, and the mayor
shifted responsibility for
public buildings and major
projects outside of the
Department of Public Works
into its own department.
To date, the reorganization
efforts have required little
new investment, instead
focusing on using existing
resources in different ways,
Koch said.
Planning for the new
department will begin
immediately, Koch said.

Once A Quincyite . . .
As we have said before, once a Quincyite always
a Quincyite.
Those of us, who were lucky enough to grow up in
Quincy, remain a Quincyite regardless of where life
takes us.
I was reminded of this while working on The Sun's
40"' anniversary supplement that appears in this week's
issue.
And wondering how many people will be receiving
it out of state.
We checked and found that approximately 350-
most of them-if not all-former Quincy residents who
are receiving The Sun weekly by mail. One of them in
Alaska. Two in Hawaii. And one in Iraq, who has just
returned home.
Florida tops the out-of-state number with 85. Cali-
fornia is runner-up with 37. Next come New Hamp-
shire (29), New York (20), Maine (16), Texas (15),
Virginia (14), Arizona and New Jersey (10).
The remainder are scattered thusly:
Georgia (9), Maryland, North Carolina and Penn-
sylvania (8), Illinois (7), Washington and Rhode Island
(6), Kentucky and South Carolina (5); Ohio, Vermont,
Tennessee and Connecticut (4), Colorado (3), Wash-
ington, D.C., Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi (2), Iowa,
Idaho, Louisiana, North Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma
and Oregon (1).
Maybe a former neighbor of your's is among them.
While most of us who grew up here, stay here or
close by, some move out of the area for one reason or
another but never seem to forget their Quincy roots.
Actress Ruth Gordon, one of Quincy's most famous
daughters, received The Sun by mail
at her New York City apartment. And
read it closely.
She didn't miss much. We got to be
good friends and whenever she called
to say hello, she would mention some-
thing like this: "Well, I see your (The
Sun) hockey team got beat by Burgin
Plainer."
When she died in 1985, her husband, playwright
Garson Kanin, called to tell me of her death and said:
"You were her Quincy connection."
At subscription renewal time we often get a note
from the out-of-state subscribers. Like these recent
ones:
Kathy Rowe, Leesburg, FL: "I have been away for
two years and I still miss Quincy like crazy. Thanks for
the opportunity to keep up with what's going on.
"I really look forward to my copies of The Sun.
When they arrive it's like a visit from an old friend."
Muriel Bumhauser, Gumming, GA: ''The Sun brings
me back to my roots. Thank you."
Charlotte DiTullio, South Pittsburg, Tenn: "Thank
you. We look forward to receiving The Sun each week
to keep up with what is going on in Quincy!"
Thank you for the kind words.
They may be out of state but their hearts are still
very much in Quincy.

A FEW COLUMS back on City Council trivia we
noted that former Mayor James Sheets had served the
longest as ward councillor- 16 in the Ward 4 seat.
Well, that was the longest for quite awhile, but
Frank McCauley reminds us that the
longevity honor now belongs to Dan
Raymondi.
Raymondi took the record a couple
of years ago and will hit the 20-year
mark at the end of his current lO***
two-year term.
But Sheets still holds the consecu-
tive record with his 16 years. Ray-
mondi's terms are broken with service as Norfolk
County treasurer in between. He has also served eight
years on the school committee.

CITY CLERK Joseph Shea, among his other du-
ties, is the caretaker of the photographs of various city
councils.
One of them is the very first coun-

meetings took?
There is one of the 1913 council;
the year Quincy celebrated its 25""
anniversary as a city. Joseph Whiton
was president of that council and went
on to become mayor.
There is also the 1925 council, which produced
three mayors: Charles Ross, who was council presi-
dent; Thomas Burgin and Thomas McGrath. Three po-
litical heavyweights and rivals.
The 1970-71 photo shows two future mayors- Ar-
thur Tobin and Walter Hannon. And a future Norfolk
County sheriff, Clifford Marshall.
Q
THE PRESIDENTIAL election is just 12 days away
and Maralin Manning, executive director of the Quin-
cy Business Association thinks it's an
appropriate time for a little food-for-
thought:
"You cannot help the poor by de-
stroying the rich.
"You cannot strengthen the weak
by weakening the strong.
"You cannot bring about prosperity
by discouraging thrift.
"You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the
wage payer down.
"You cannot further the brotherhood of man, by in-
citing class hatred.
"You cannot build character and courage by taking
away men's initiative and independence.
"You cannot help men permanently by doing for
them what they could and should do for themselves.
(The words of Abraham Lincoln.)
Something to think about.

4 p.m. at United First Parish
Church, 1306 Hancock St.,
Quincy Center, to explain its
mission to send free books

the prison system and its ef-
fect on the conmiiinity.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1949 real photo postcard showing one of the
last steam powered passenger trains operated by the
New Haven Railroad on its Old Colony Line. The view
was taken at the Quincy Center Station. By 1950, the
New Haven converted most of its trains to diesel engines.
The steam engine shown here, No. 1389, was a Pacific
Class Alco 4-6-2, built in 1916 by The American Loco-
motive Co. at their plant in Schenectady, New York. It
weighed over 100 tons. Passenger train service to this
ground level Quincy Depot began in 1845 and ended in
1959 when the Southeast Expressway opened. The pres-
ent station here was built in 1970 below grade for the
rapid transit Red Line, but since 1997 it has once again
become a stop on the new Old Colony Line. To contact

A Quincy Parents Urges Yes Vote On Question 2
As a former first assistant
attorney general, a practic-
ing attorney for 38 years,
a resident of Quincy since
early childhood and a father
of three, I've dedicated my
working life to creating a
safer and more just Massa-
chusetts. And that's exactly
what Question 2 will do.
Question 2 creates a civil
penalty system for personal
possession of an ounce or
less of marijuana. It replac-
es arrest and booking with
a citation and fine similar
to a speeding ticket, and it
ends the creation of perma-
nent arrest records known
as Criminal Offender Re-
cord Information (CORI)
reports.
CORIs resulting from the
7,500 low-level marijuana
arrests conducted each year
cost individuals their ability
to get a job, obtain housing,
get a loan to go to school.
adopt children, get bank
loans and many other means
to becoming productive
members of their families
and communities.
Marijuana remains ille-
gal under Question 2, and
all related laws - including
laws banning sales, distribu-
tion and trafficking - remain
unchanged. Additionally,
Question 2 in no way affects
laws or regulations prohibit-
ing driving under the influ-
ence or workplace intoxica-
tion.
Question 2 also takes a
more proactive approach
to juveniles than current
law. Persons under 18 will
have the citation delivered
to a parent or guardian, and
young people must complete
a drug awareness program
and community service - so
there are immediate, family-
based and appropriate con-
sequences to their actions.
Eleven other states have
enacted similar laws without
the sky falling. In fact, in a
study commissioned by the
White House, the National
Research Council found that
there is no significant differ-
ence in the prevalence of
marijuana use between the
11 states with laws similar
to Question 2 and the rest of
the country.
Our failed policy also
comes with a large price tag.
According to Harvard econ-
omist Dr. Jeffrey Miron,
Question 2 will save taxpay-
ers almost $30 million a year
in arrest, booking and basic
court costs alone. Question 2
modest public policy pro-
posal that will improve our
laws, conserve taxpayer re-
sources, and remove these
outrageous lifelong penal-
ties. While I invite all my
fellow Bay Staters to join
me in voting yes on Ques-
tion 2 this November, this
message is aimed particular-
ly to the City of Presidents
- and the Red Raiders.
For decades I've been
representing your sons and
daughters as they deal with
the minor legal scrapes that
are a part of being young.
None of them deserve the
lifelong consequences they
face under the current sys-
will keep these funds where tem for possession of mari-
they belong - in community juana.
coffers to fight violent, seri-
ous crimes. Additionally, all
fines generated will stay in
the community where the
offense occurred.
Question 2 is a good,
Believe me, you can do
a better job than the state
dealing with that problem.

Criticizes Reader Who Criticized Appointment
Regarding Susan Lynn's
Taxpayer, Quincy Letter,
Criticizes Appointment. She
states that Mr. Tufo is the
lucky grandson of a former
attorney general, nephew
and son of others in position
or in the past.
I would like Susan Lynn
to think for a moment. How
lucky is he? His dad died
tragically. You are so insen-
sitive to write such a letter.
You need to take a class in
sensitivity. Neither you or I
have the right to judge his
ability to perform his job.
Let him do it, let him
prove himself to be a dedi-
cated employee and follow
the footsteps of his father
who everybody speaks so
fondly of.
He showed respect to
many people. So I'm re-
ally just floored that you
call him lucky. How lucky
is that to lose someone you
love? And another point I'd
like to make to you is that
I worked in Boston for the
Commonwealth and 1 didn't
need a college degree and
I did not have any connec-
tions to the big government
or a local government; fur-
thermore do you see the
size of this young man. 1
think he fits the job descrip-
tion. So to you please don't
be bitter. Wish him luck!
And God Bless!

world. As part of my senior social justice project, I worked with a
friend to organize a pancake breakfast that raised several hundred
dollars for pancreatic cancer and HIV/AIDS research. Fontbonne
is unique in that it provides an environment where students are
encouraged to care for others, and in doing so, mature and grow
into responsible and compassionate young women. Fontbonne
doesn't just preach; it leads by example. The values I learned at
Fontbonne still influence how I live my life."

Council Votes
REO Committee
Investigating QHS
Contractor Complaints
Delahunt Announces Foreclosure
Assistance To South Shore
By LAURA GRIFFIN
City Council Monday voted
unanimously to investigate
charges that a contractor
on the $126 million Quincy
High School project failed
to comply with the city's
Responsible Employer
Ordinance (REO).
The council voted on
the recommendation of the
Oversight Committee head-
ed by Ward 6 Councillor
Brian McNamee who said
the city was charting "new
waters."
"This is precedent-set-
ting," said Michael Cheney,
consultant to the South Shore
Building Trades Council., as
councillors discussed penal-
ties.
Cheney who spoke at
the committee meeting for-
merly served as council-
lor at large. Cheney
and Karen Courtney,
Director of The Foundation
For Fair Contracting of
Massachusetts, urged coun-
cillors to act firmly on any
violations of the city's REO
and not with just a "slap on
the wrist."
REO's are standard
agreements required by most
cities and towns on public
works projects. Employees
guarantee such items as
minimal wage requirements
and health benefits.
Quincy 's REO requires
contractors to hire residents
and provide positions for
apprentices.
D'Agostino Associates
was originally accused of
not hiring residents and
"failing to fill the appren-
ticeship to journeyman ratio
for each trade employed."
The REO Compliance
Committee headed by
Tom Fabrizic investigated
the complaints, cleared
D'Agostino of one charge
and found D'Agostino "is
failing to fill the apprentice-
ship to journeyman ratio for
each trade employed."
"This is the first time
we've have ha a report of
this kind," McNamee said.
"This is a very important is-
sue.
"They have not employed
one apprentice," Adam J.
Lupino of the Laborers' New
England Region Organizing
Fund. "You have a great
REO, a top ordinance. It's
really simply the will to en-
force."
If City Council does en-
force the REO, it will one of
the first and few instances,
according to Cheney who
said no one really enforces
REO.
"They always find away
around it," Cheney said of
contractors who violate pro-
visions of an REO. For most
project managers, he said,
the only concern is that a
public works project be on
time and on budget.
"We want our public
works to be more than just
building a building," said
Courtney, then explained
that the value of REO's,
also, lies in providing "jobs
for our adults" and "eco-
nomic development."
Courtney, also, stated
that the attorney general
has supported penalties for
violations of REO's. Union
contractors sign compliance
forms every week.
Cong. William Delahunt
has announced the award o
$109,565.48 in Department
of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD)
grants o Community Action
Programs (QC AP) and the
Redevelopment Authority.
"With an economy in
recession and ten million
mortgagees risk of foreclo-
sure nafionally, it is impor-
tant that we take every step
possible to help people stay
in their homes," Delahunt
said. "I am pleased that
HUD funds will be put to
use by local housing orga-
nizations that are working
hard to help homeowners on
that deal with this crisis."
WILLIAM DELAHUNT
As part of the grant award,
QCAP will receive $57,065
and the Redevelopment
Authority $52,500 under
HUD's Housing Counseling
Program.
QCAP Executive
Director Beth Ann Strollo
said, "HUD's award to
QCAP is cntical to assur-
ing tenants and landlords
can get the help they need o
stem the tide of foreclosure
and eviction."
Laura Schaefer, ex-
ecutive director of the
Redevelopment Authority
said "Now more than ever,
housing counseling is imper-
ative. We remain committed
to the belief that informmg
and educating homebuyers
and homeowners provides
for more stable families and
communities."

Church Flag Burning
Probed As Hate Crime
United First Parish
Church is well-known for
the welcome it extends
to worshippers of all per-
suasions, particularly the
bisexual, gay, lesbian and
transgender communities.
Since 2004, a Rainbow
Flag has flown over the
church in Quincy Center
as tangible evidence of that
welcome.
Early birds arriving at the
church on Saturday, Oct. 10,
found the charred remains
of the flag on the steps, the
second such incident of
vandalism in less than two
months.
"It took considerable
work to get at the flag," said
the Rev. Sheldon Bennett,
the pastor. "Whoever it was
needed a stepladder to reach
it.
""Who knows? It might
have been a kid pulling a
prank but it's still a hate
crime. It's like painting a
swastika on a synagogue."
Whatever, a day later, on
Sunday, a new Rainbow Flag
was flying over the church
"and we will continue to fly
the flag," vowed Bennett.
Police and the Quincy
Human Rights Commission
are investigating.
An earlier incident of
vandalism involving the
Rainbow Flag occurred late
in August when the flag and
its flagpole were stolen.
"There have been other
times when the flag was
knocked down," said Ben-
nett, "but it might have been
the wind. Someone had to
be involved in those two
incidents."
United First Parish
Church stirred up a ruckus
two years ago by displaying
a banner "People of Faith
for Marriage Equality" to
protest a same sex marriage
amendment proposed for the
state constitution.

that employee health claims
are up and the $2.7 million
sewer and water fund deficit
will squeeze the city's free
cash and stabilization ac-
counts.
Such actions should ease
financial distress for now,
but the future is uncertain,
according to Koch who
said, "We know we're in for
rough waters,"
Koch credited both
Governor Deval Patrick and
the city's legislators for pro-
tecting the state's local aid
as a major factor in main-
taining this year's budget
balance. However, he be-
lieves that next year's state
aid is likely to be slashed.
Patrick met last week
with Koch and several city
councillors and assured
them that he will make ev-
ery effort to maintain this
year's local aid packages.
Several factors may re-
duce some pressure on next
year's budget, according to
Koch who said that trash
collection costs are decreas-
ing as residents' recycling
increases and he anticipates
a potential reduction of $4
million in health insurance
costs.

RETIRED STATE TROOPER Linda Orlando (left), Norfolk County Dist. Atty. WilUam Keat-
ing and attorney Erin Mclntyre produced the substance of the training materials.
Children's Advocacy Center,
DA Keating Provide Training
On Stopping Sexual Abuse
Ten Quincy Police and
school officials were among
the hundred plus who joined
Norfolk District Attorney
William Keating to launch
a new internet- based train-
ing program to help protect
children from physical and
sexual abuse and neglect.
The new web-based
training on recognizing and
reporting child abuse and
neglect was developed by
the Children's Advocacy
Center of Norfolk County
currently administered by
Keating's office.
"The law changed this
year to dictate that man-
dated child abuse reporters
- including teachers and
clinicians - acquire training
in recognizing, responding
and reporting on child abuse
and neglect," District Attor-
ney said.
"Our Children's Advoca-
cy Center used grant funds
and the expertise of a State
Police sexual assault detec-
tive recently retired from
our office and a former
prosecutor in our sex as-
sault, domestic violence and
juvenile units to develop
this training package," Dis-
trict Attorney Keating said.
Those grant funds came
from Gov. Deval Patrick's
Executive Office of Public
Safety and Security, Keat-
ing said.
"Children are living in
abusive homes in every
community in Massachu-
setts," Keating said. "The
training that Trooper Linda
Orlando and former ADA
Erin Mclntyre developed
gives any mandated reporter
the best available guidance
on how to recognize and ad-
dress children in this kind of
danger and get them help,"
he added.
The Bank of Canton do-
nated the use of the large
auditorium at its Rte. 138
headquarters for the CAC
event, Keating said "as it
has generously done in the
past."
A video of opening re-
marks of the conference
can be viewed at www.nor-
folkda.com, and the training
resource will soon be avail-
able through that site.
Quincy representatives
at the training included
Elizabeth Murphy and
Sheri Eldridge from the
High School, James Den-
tremont, Jennifer Tapper
and Patrick Glynn from the
Police Department, and An-
dra Rooney, Chris Karaska,
Heather Holet, Kathleen Ba-
kis and Kerry Bertrand from
Quincy Public Schools, Jes-
sica Carmer and Stephanie
Flaherty from Dove, Inc.,
and Bobbie-Jo Dionne,
Kristine Swan and Lauren
Browning from the South
Shore YMCA.
Central Middle School
guidance counselor Maura
Tenaglia was a panelist for
the multi-disciplinary panel
discussion that closed the
event.

lected from private citizens
for up to three quarters of a
ton no matter how light the
debris may have weighed.

material from contaminating
the solid waste stream but
will save the city thousands
of dollars in disposal fees and
encourage homeowners to do
the right thing.
Materials acceptable at
the transfer station include:
Tubs, toilets, ceramic
tile,, paneling, particle board,
wallboard, pressure treated
lumber, timbers, composite
decking materials, linoleum,
carpet, floor tiles, bricks,
rubble, concrete, asphalt
shingles, fiberglass insu-
lation, blow-in insulation,
metal and plastic stock, elec-
trical and plumbing debris.
None of the listed material
will be accepted if it contains
asbestos, PCBs or creosote.
Fines will be applied. The
special rate is for private
citizens only. Commercial
vendors and contractors are
not eligible.
The Braintree transfer
station is open to residents

Diplomale, American Board of Podiatric Sargery
Diiriomate, American Board of Pediatric Orthqwdics
DIABETES AND THE FOOT
The foot is especially affect-
ed by diabetes because prob-
lems can easily occur and not
be detected. This nerve fiber
damage is called peripheral
neuropatfiy Diabetic peripher-
al neuropathy can result in two
types of problems. There can
be a loss of ability to feel pain
and other sensations, which
puts the foot at risk of being
damaged and the diabetic not
realizing it. In addition, blood
circulation is the body's way
of healing damage, and poor
circulation is a complication
of diabetes that leaves the
diabetic more vulnerable to
infection. Foot ulcers are com-
mon, and healing is very slow.
Extreme cases of nerve and
foot disorders may lead to foot
amputations. Regular monitor-
ing by the doctor is necessary.
It is estimated that 15 per-
cent of all diabetics will de-
velop a serious foot condition
at some point, including infec-
tion, ulceration, or gangrene.
As most cases of these condi-
tions are preventable through
regular visits to the podiatrist,
we urge all diabetics to con-
sider podiatric care as a very
important component in man-
aging their diabetic condition.
We offer comprehensive foot
care at QUINCY MEDICAL
CENTER. Please call us here
in Quincy at 781-986-3668
for an appointment. Office
hours are also available at 999
North Main St., in the Ran-
dolph Medical Office Building,
and Milton Medical Building
in Suite 221. Diabetics - be
sure to ask us about the Medi-
care Therapeutic Shoe Bill.
P.S. People with diabetes are
five times more likely to devebp
peripheral neuropathy than the
general population.
miHar with all areas of the
law will be available for
confidential one-on-one con-
sultations on a first come,
first served basis.
Clinics will be held in
Quincy April 7, 2009, May
19, June 2, July 7 and Aug.
4; in Stoughton Dec. 2, May
5, 2009, and July 21; and

Faxon Field Track
Plans To Be Presented
At Public Meeting Nov. 3
Quincy Practitioners Offer Extended
Hours At QMC Primary Care Practice
Mayor Thomas Koch
will present plans for a
state-of-the-art track facility
at Faxon Field next to the
new Quincy High School at
a public meeting Nov. 3 at
7 p.m. in the Quincy High
School auditorium.
The mayor, city officials,
and consultants from track
designers Gale Associates
will present its preliminary
designs for a regulation-
sized track at Faxon Field
at a meeting of the Park and
Recreation Board that will
be held in the auditorium.
There will be a question-
and-answer session about
the Faxon Field project fol-
lowing the presentation.
"This is going to be a fa-
cility the entire conununity
will be proud of, and many
people have put in an in-
credible amount of time to
reach the point where we are
ready to present the plan to
the public," Koch said.
City Solicitor James Tim-
mins will be available to an-
swer legal questions, saying
he is "very confident" about
the project's future.
"It will also be our first
opportunity to talk in detail
about the project and address
some of the misinformation
spread by a few folks," Tim-
mins said.
The Park and Recreation
Board this spring voted to
protect Pageant Field in
Merrymount from construc-
tion of a track and subse-
quently voted to make Fax-
on Field the preferred site
for the facility.
"I am proud that we have
preserved Pageant Field,
and I am looking forward to
talking about what 1 know
will be a first-class project
adjacent to a brand new high
school," Koch said.
3,000 Petition For Track
At Pageant Field
Maureen Keeley Mon-
day presented City Council
with a petition signed by
3000 persons asking Mayor
Thomas Koch to build the
high school track at Pageant
Field.
Keely heads a group of
Pageant Field supporters
called Parents for Pageant.
Keely asked councillors
to reaffirm their previous
support of the Pageant Field
track site and reminded
members that their vote last
year funding a track project
was site specific for Pageant
Field only.
Several dozen parents
joined Keeley at City Hall
when she charged that the
mayor's choice of Faxon
Field for the track site had
serious issues, including
contamination problems.

FIRE SAFETY
by Captain Tom LycMO^
Fire Preventhn Bunau
Qitincy Fire Deparmei
Children, Lighters And Matches
A recent fire has prompted
this article. The fire involved
a young child playing with
a lighter, igniting a barrel
within the home. It was dis-
covered quickly enough; we
were called and fire person-
nel extinguished the fire.
Researching our concern
for children playing with
matches and lighters has
retrieved memories of pre-
sentations 1 had given years
ago to young, school-aged
children within our school
system. Those presentations
now continue through an-
other; this is an opportunity
for me to reacquaint myself
as well, with the State Fire
Marshal's educational rec-
ommendations.
*In recent years, 912
juvenile-set fires were re-
ported in Massachusetts
at an estimated dollar loss
of $9.5 million; children
playing with matches and
lighters started 54% of these
fires. (*Fire Factors: Office
of the State Fire Marshal)
Never allow children
to play with lighters and
matches. The State Fire
Marshal reminds us that
matches and lighters in a
child's hands can be just as
deadly as a loaded gun.
That is a pretty strong
statement, one I was hesitant
to pass along to you, but it is
true. Lighting materials in
the hands of an unsupervised
child can lead and have led
to fatalities within a family
or those residents residing
within the same building.
It only takes a few sec-
onds for a fire to start and
quickly bum out of con-
trol. Most children are not
cognizant of that fact, nor
will they be unless an adult
brings this fact to their at-
tention. We suggest that you
remind them not to pick up
matches. Inform children
that matches and lighters
are tools for adults, not toys
for children. Praise them
when they tell you they see
matches and lighters and
ask an adult to move them
to a safe location out of the
reach of other children.
How will they know

without incident if we don't
inform them? Children have
a high curiosity quotient,
and it seems to me that it is
our responsibility as adults
to set the boundaries to as-
sure their safe use of that
curiosity.
Keep all matches and
lighters out of the reach of
children. Store them in a
high cabinet, preferably a
locked one. Explain that fire
is dangerous and only for
grownups to use carefully.
Set a good example when
you, yourself, use matches,
lighters, flammable liquids
etc. Tell them when they
are old enough that you will
teach them how to use such
tools safely and responsibly.
Thank you for doing so.

traffic, particularly from
a Centre Street lot that is

Ryan Stoeckel Receives
MBA From Norwich University
Trust, the owners of all the
Lowe's property.
Traffic Engineer Jack
Gillan described poten-
tial traffic problems that
could arise from the former
Lincoln Monument prop-
erty on Centre Street. Gillan
predicted "turbulence" and
"devastation" if any access
is allowed from the Centre
Street.
Councillor John Keenan
stated he will no approved
the Lowe's permit unless the
company reduces its 50-foot
sign and Brewster agrees to
relinquish access to Centre
Street.
Ward 3 Councillor Kevin
Coughlin said he opposed
closing the hearing because
he wanted more open discus-
sion on environmental issues
while Ward 2 Councillor
Daniel Raymondi said that
he was open to more public
discussion.
Councillor Michael
McFarland has recused him-
self from all discussion and
votes for personal reasons.

Reminder: Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery
(NAPSA)-Surprising
to many Americans is the
fact that 25 miUion homes
are at needless risk due to
worn or missing smoke de-
tectors, according to the
National Fire Protection
Association. Though 96
percent of American homes
have smoke alarms, 19 per-
cent do not have at least one
smoke alarm that works,
mostly due to dead or miss-
ing batteries. This is just one
reason why the International
Association of Fire Chiefs
(I AFC) and Energizer re-
mind families to keep safe
this fall by changing the bat-
teries in their smoke alarms
when they change their
clocks back from daylight

Clearing Away
Clutter
Q,My husband and I
• are both terrible at
managing clutter. It seems
that every time one of us
manages to clear a space of
stuff, more junk appears
to fill it up! How can we get
rid of all the clutter in our
house? — Jane W., via e-
mail
A .Clutter is a very com-
• men problem in
American society, so you're
not alone. None of u.s likes to
be without our "stuff," even
when that stuff is pushing us
out the door.
Ellen Phillips, author of
"Kick the Clutter: Clear Out
Excess Stuff Without Losing
What You Lx)ve" (Rodale
Inc., $17.95), writes that
there are several types of
personalities that attract
clutter. For example: The
collector, who amasses lots
of his or her favorite items;
the inheritor, who "inherits"
items from family members
or friends; and the compul-
sive shopper, who buys
things because they are a
bargain or needed.
The first step to getting rid
of clutter, whether you fall
into the above categories or
not, is to recognize the traits
that make you susceptible to
amassing clutter, and then
work consciously, every
day. on not giving in to those
traits. In this way its very
much like going on a diet.
Once you've addressed the
rca.son why clutter comes in
the door, set priorities for
tackling the existing clutter.
You don't have to tackle it
all at once; budget your time
for cleaning up. And don't
overdo it — just do a little at
a time, but regularly.
And be sure to do this as a
couple. If both of you have
brought in clutter, you both
should take it out. Don't
blame each other or try to
make the other spouse feel
guilty about it, but instead
work together to prioritize
and dc-cluttcr your home.

In 2008, the day to set
your clocks back and change
the batteries in your smoke
detectors is November 2.
The Change Your Clock
Change Your Battery(r)
message also reminds fami-
lies to change the batteries
in their carbon monoxide
detectors and their emer-
gency flashlights so they are
prepared in case a severe
winter storm causes a power
outage in their home.
The Change Your Clock
Change Your Battery cam-
paign is part of an over-
all family safety program
championed by Energizer
and the I AFC. Through their
Keep Safe. Keep Going(r)
initiative, the two organiza-
tions not only inform fami-
lies about fire safety in the
fall, but they also encourage
them to be prepared for nat-
ural disasters that typically
occur during spring and
summer months.
lAFC reminds people
that the best way to protect
your family in a home fire
is to have a working smoke
detector. A smoke detector
doubles your chances of sur-
viving a home fire-but only
if it works.
Here are some safety
facts from the lAFC you
need to know:
Fire Facts
• 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
are the peak hours for home
fires-when most people
are asleep and the house is
dark.
• Approximately ev-
ery three hours, a home fire
death occurs somewhere in
the nation.
• Two-thirds of home
fire deaths result from fires
in homes without working
smoke alarms.
• Only 23 percent of
U.S. families have devel-
oped and practiced a home
fire escape plan to ensure
they could escape quickly
and safely. Developing a
family emergency escape
plan can be crucial to every-
one's safety.
Carbon Monoxide Facts
• Carbon monoxide
is sometimes called "the si-
lent killer." It is colorless,
odorless and tasteless.
• More than 500
people in the U.S. die each
year from accidental carbon
monoxide (CO) poisoning.
• Symptoms of car-
bon monoxide poisoning in-
clude headache, weakness,
dizziness, nausea, vomiting,
chest pain and confusion.
Flashlight Facts
• Candles used for
light in the absence of elec-
trical power cause one-third
of fatal home fires.
• Candles are the
third-leading cause of inju-
ries from home fires, follow-
ing cooking and heating.
• When your power
goes out, use flashlights in-
stead of candles.
• Use the time
change to check the batter-
ies in your flashlights.
The lAFC is a nonprofit
association representing
nearly 13,000 chief fireof-
ficers and emergency ser-
vices leaders worldwide.
Its members are the world's
leading experts in firefight-
ing, emergency medical ser-
vices, terrorism response,
hazardous materials spills,
natural disasters, search and
rescue and public safety leg-
islation.

(ARA) - Helping a par-
ent move to senior housing
can seem more intimidating
than orchestrating a rocket
launch.
The death of a spouse, de-
clining health or safety con-
cerns can trigger the need to
move. The first phase comes
with the realization that
what has been home is no
longer suitable.
Emotional ties to a place
are hard to overcome. Find-
ing a new home that is ap-
pealing and appropriate is
no easy task, and neither is
culling through a lifetime's
accumulation of "stuff."
It may not take a rocket
scientist to work through
this multi-phase life change.
But finding a professional
who knows the ropes can
make it easier for the more
than 29 percent of home
sellers age 65 and older who
move into an active-adult
community or senior-related
housing each year.
That professional may be
a Seniors Real Estate Spe-
cialist (S RES), an agent who
receives special training and
demonstrates the expertise
to navigate the unique hous-
ing needs of clients age 50
and older. "Services to se-
niors are changing to meet
the lifestyles we live. Senior
communities are changing
to meet the expectations of
baby boomers and today's
retirees, too," says Carol
Kairis, managing director,
SRES Council and Special-
ties, National Association of
Realtors.
"The range of senior
housing options is diverse
and would surprise many
Americans who often think
of senior housing as only
nursing homes. Assisted
living facilities address the
needs of those who need
support services, and con-
tinuing care retirement com-
munities are wonderful op-
tions for those who wish to
age in place."
Nationwide, more than
16,000 realtors have at-
tained the SRES designa-
tion. In the same way a real
estate agent recommends a
plumber or landscaper to a
client, an SRES agent as-
sembles a team to address
client needs — repair compa-
nies, professional organiz-
ers, estate sales agents, and
senior move managers who
pack, transport and unpack
in the new location.
"An SRES agent can help
you develop a strategy, then
bring in a team to help take
one room at a time to orga-
nize and dispose of goods.
They can help you decide
where you're going to go,
and recommend a mover,"
says Armand Christopher, a
seasoned SRES real estate
broker and member of the
SRES National Advisory
Board of the National Asso-
ciation of Realtors.
Christopher has an active
practice in the Dallas-Fort
Worth area and offers these
tips no matter where seniors
live:
1 . Plan ahead. Don't wait
for a health crisis to start
the process. The smooth-
est transitions occur when
the person moving is in the
driver's seat.
2. Engage professionals.
SRES agents understand the
dynamics of a senior move.
They are trained about the
benefits and drawbacks of
reverse mortgages and can
help you understand how
to use pensions, 40 IK ac-
counts and IRAs in real es-
tate transactions. They also
know how Medicare, Med-
icaid and Social Security
will affect your real estate
decisions.
3. Get a full assessment
of the current situation.
Physical care needs and fi-
nancial resources are where
to start. Consider the costs
of staying in place, includ-
ing renovation and ongoing
maintenance. Add the cost
of rising utility bills and
taxes, and don't forget trans-
portation and food. Make a
list and decide whether it's
cheaper to stay or move to
a community designed for
seniors.
4. Take a multi-phase ap-
proach. Christopher says his
customers often take longer
than a year to actually make
the move. An SRES agent
can connect the senior with
professionals to help walk
through the process.
5. Fully explore new
housing options. Senior liv-
ing offers a broader range
of options than ever before.
SRES agents have an under-
standing of the services each
type of community can pro-
vide and can best match the
client with the right place.
Christopher and other
SRES professionals use
SNAPforSeniors (www.
snapforseniors.com), an on-
line search tool that is akin
to the Multiple Listing Ser-
vice for senior housing. The
SNAPforSeniors database
includes more than 60,000
licensed senior housing fa-
cilities in the country and is
available at no charge.

A Job Well Done
■^
LT. DAN MINTON
On Wednesday, October 8, 2008, at approximately 4:45
p.m.. Detective Gerard O'Rourke was parked in the Star
Market lot when he noticed a
male driver with a female cx:-
cupant sitting in a car far away
from the stores.
Detective O'Rourke ran the
plate of the vehicle and learned
that the suspect had a guilty
charge for "Possession of Class
D Substance." Soon after, the
suspect vehicle left the lot and
followed a green vehicle to Ar-
thur Street, where the vehicles
came to a stop. The female pas-
senger then got out of the sus-
pect car and entered the rear
seat of the green car. Detective O'Rourke drove by the green
car, occupied by two males and noted the license plate. The
green car drove off with the suspect car behind it.
Detectives William O'Brien and Bill Ward assisted in the
surveillance of the two vehicles. The vehicles stopped on
Buckley Street at Suomi Road, where the female exited the
green vehicle and returned to the suspect vehicle. The vehi-
cles then drove off in different directions. The detectives had
reason to believe that a drug transaction may have cKCurred.
sothev split up and followed the vehicles. Detective O'Brien
followed the suspect vehicle while Detective O'Rourke fol-
lowed the green car. Officer Barry DeFranco assisted Detec-
tive O'Rourke in stoppmg the green car on Common Street
while Ofhcer Dermis Keenan sit^pped the suspect vehicle at
Ross Way and Granite Street.
Detective O'Rourke and Officer DeFranco approached
the two male suspects in the green car and questioned them
separately. Both males had completely different stories and
neither one included the female suspect who was just seen
in their car. When asked who the girl was, they denied any
knowledge of a girl or driving her one block and then getting
out.
Detective Ward notified Detective O'Rourke that the fe-
male admitted that she met with the males to purchase heroin
and had done so in the past, but since she did not have any
money, no sale had taken place. Based on this information.
Detective O'Rourke frisked the suspects and their vehicle,
finding a sock underneath the center console by the dash-
board. Inside the sock was a loaded Colt 380 handgun. Nei-
ther susp>ect had a license to carry the weap>on so both were
arrested for "Possession of a Firearm without a License and
Conspiracy to Violate the Controlled Substance Laws."
Both suspects were transported to the station. The suspect
vehicle was also towed to the station, where State Trooper
John Fallon and his K-9 unit scanned the car for narcotics
odor. The dog indicated an area near the front passenger
seat, where Detective Brian Coen found a small plastic bag
consistent with heroin. An additional charge of "Possession
of Class A Substance with the Intent to Distribute" was add-
ed to both suspects. Since no purchase was made, the male
and female in the suspect car were not charged.
Nice Work!

RECENT SCAM: A citizen recently attempted to sell his
college textbook on "Facebook" on the Internet for $50.00.
He received an email from a person wanting to buy the book
and would forward a check. A few days later, the victim
received a check for $1,050.00. Another email followed
stating that the buyer made a mistake with the check and
requested that the victim return the difference in check to a
designated address.
The victim checked with his bank and was informed that
it would take a day for the check to clear. The next day the
victim sent his $1,000.00 via Western Union to the suspect.
The victim checked with his bank later and learned that the
buyer's check was bogus. He is now out $1,000.00 on his
attempt to make $50.00 on a book sale. In this case, any-
one who receives a check for more than the negotiated deal
should consider this a scam. Anyone trading with someone
should not forward the item until at least five days in order to
validate the check.

Bring the Gym
Home
Creating a gym in your
home may be easier than
you chmic. No longer are
large, expensive pieces of
equipment the only option in
bringing the gym home.
With the purchase of a jump
rope, resistance bands/tub-
ing, a medicine ball and sta-
bility ball, you can create a
fully functional gym in your
house. TTiese items are inex-
pensive, take up minimal
space and can be used to per-
form hundreds of exercises.
ITie following are sample
exerci.ses using a jump rof)c.
resistance band, medicine
ball and stability ball:
• Jump rope: Great for car-
diovascular training.
• Resistance band: Bicep
curls (works front of arms).
Hold handles and place
bands under your feet. Wnh
your palms facing forward,
bend your elbows bringing
your palms toward your
armpits. Lower, then repeal.
• Medicine ball: Overfiead
tricep extension {works
back of arms). With feel
staggered and shoulder-
width i^^art and ball grasped
between hands, extend your
arms directly overhead,
close to your ears. Lower
the ball by bending your
arms directly behind your
head until your arms are at a
90-degree angle. Extend
your arms, and then repeat.
• Stability ball: Wall
squats (works legs and
gluies). Find a sturdy empty
wall and place the ball
against it. Place your middle
to lower back against the
ball. Walk your feet slightly
forward, still keeping the
ball behind you. Lower
yourself slowly toward the
ground no lower than 90
degrees. Press through your
heels and straighten your
legs* to stand hack up.
Repeat.
Complete one to three sets,
10-15 repetitions of each of
these exercises. Remember
to breathe and support your
abdominals and back
through each repetition.
Be sure to talk with your
physician or fitness profes-
sional about developing a
fitness program that can be
done at home. He or she can
instruct you on what weight
and size equipment can best
aid you in reaching your fit-
ness goals. The purchase of
fitness equipment alone will
not make you fit, so it is
extremely important to
receive proper instruction of
how and when to use the
equipment you have select-
ed. Do not invest in any
equipment until you have a
plan to utilize it.
Slowly grow your collec-
tion of fitness equipment.
Purchase one piece of
equipment and incorporate
it into your fitness plan, then
add another. As with large
fitness equipment, if you
don't put it tou.se. it will just
collect dust.
Fitness equipment can be
found at most sporting-
goods stores. Two compa-
nies that 1 recommend are
Spriproducts, Inc. (1-800-
222-7774, www.spriprod
ucts.com) and Perform Bet-
ter (1-888-556-7464,
www.performbelter.com).
Both companies carry a
large assortment of high-
quality fitness equipment.
Always consult a physi-
cian before beginning an
exercise program.

IS GUM DISEASE LINKED TO CANCER?
Gum disease may raise the
risk of developing cancer. This
finding is based on a long-run-
ning study in which male health
professionals with a history of
gum disease were found to
have a 14 percent higher over-
all risk of developing cancer. Af-
ter controlling for smoking and
other risk factors, periodontal
disease was found to be sig-
nifrcantly associated with an
increased risk of lung, kidney,
panaeatrc, and hematological
(bkxxj) cancers. This higher
overall risk was even detected
in men who had never smoked.
Researchers point out that
people with gum disease have
inflammation in their bkxxJ, and
inflammation has been linked
with cancer, tt is also possible
that whatever causes the in-
flammatkxi may also cause
gun disease and cancer.

Simple Lifestyle Changes
Can Boost Your Memory
QUINCY RESIDENT Patricia Flannery (right), an adminis-
trative assistant at the Boston law firm of Sullivan & Worces-
ter LLP, was honored for her tireless work for the American
Cancer Society at the recent "Making Strides Against Breast

Time- Saving Fixes
For Hectic Mornings
(ARA) - From taking
the kids to school to pack-
ing your husband's bag for
his overnight business trip,
women often find that they
don't have enough time to
take care of their own beau-
ty and health needs. With so
many things on their plate,
it can be easy to let personal
hygiene and fashion fall by
the wayside. However, de-
spite a jam-packed sched-
ule, there are plenty of time-
saving fixes that busy moms
and women can incorpo-
rate to indulge themselves,
while still getting the kids to
school on time.
* Plan Ahead: Set up
tomorrow's breakfast and
bagged lunch before going
to sleep tonight. Setting out
fruit and cereal or packing
up leftovers can be done
easily following dinner
cleanup. Evening prepara-
tions will give you a few
extra minutes in the morn-
ing to actually sit down and
enjoy a healthy start to your
day, rather than eating in a
rush over the counter.
* Wardrobe Ready: One
of the most common reasons
for being rushed in the morn-
ings is figuring out what to
wear to work. Stop standing
aimlessly in the closet for 20
minutes by taking time on
Sunday to pick out your out-
fits for the rest of the week.
This will give you time to
indulge your fashionista on
Sunday rather than rushing
your choices in the morn-
ings. Also, buy a fabric
steamer instead of an iron
for quick and easy wrinkle
relief. It releases wrinkles
faster, and is actually one of
the safest, gentlest ways to
remove wrinkles from your
clothes.
* Get Pick-y: You don't
have to neglect your oral
care regimen when you're
in a hurry. New Oral-B Ad-
vantage Floss Picks (OralB-
FlossPicks.com) are de-
signed with an easy-to-grip
handle and TextureSlide
fiber so you can incorpo-
rate daily flossing easily
and comfortably. If you're
crunched for time during the
morning rush, toss a couple
of Picks in your purse for
on-the-go oral care. If you
want a great minty taste fol-
lowing your morning coffee,
try the Cool Mint flavor.
* Double-Duty: Being
busy isn't an excuse for not
looking presentable. Two-
in-one beauty products that
simplify morning routines
will save time and space
in the medicine cabinet or
shower. Shampoo-plus-con-
ditioner combinations and
daily facial moisturizer with
SPF will streamline the time
between waking and work.
* Accessorize: Even the
most basic of outfits can
look dressier when you ac-
cessorize the right way. If
you don't have time to pull
together a fabulous outfit,
throw on some fancy ear-
rings or a nice belt and in-
stantly dress your outfit. The
small details can make it
look like you took the time
to dress up in the morning.
Saving a couple of min-
utes here and there definitely
adds up! Incorporating time-
saving fixes into daily rou-
tines allows for added "me"
time, alleviating stress and
boosting self confidence.

(ARA) - Do you ever
find yourself at the grocery
store struggling to remem-
ber what you came for? Are
you forgetting birthdays and
lunch dates? If these situa-
tions sound familiar to you,
you're not alone. Forgetful-
ness is one of the most com-
mon complaints of those in
middle age and beyond.
Memory loss and Al-
zheimer's disease rank high
on the list of senior fears.
Alzheimer's was the No.
1 fear of aging, according
to research conducted by
Bankers Life and Casualty
Company, a national life and
health insurer that focuses
on serving the retirement
needs of the middle market.
Similarly, a national poll by
Research! America and PA-
RADE magazine showed
that adults were more than
twice as likely to fear los-
ing their mental capacity as
their physical ability.
The good news is accord-
ing to researchers at John
Hopkins, most memory loss
has nothing to do with Al-
zheimer's disease. Nearly
all of us, they say, take more
time to learn and recall in-
formation as we age.
There are simple things
that you can do in your ev-
eryday life to increase your
ability to retain information
and exercise your brain.
Engage your brain.
Mentally stimulating
activities strengthen brain
cells and the connection be-
tween them. You can keep
those cells in shape by giv-
ing them a workout. Instead
of passively watching TV,
try something that engages
your brain: reading, writing,
taking a class, doing a cross-
word puzzle or even learn-
ing a new game to play with
family members.
Stay in touch.
Loneliness is linked to
depression, a risk factor for
memory loss. Try to keep
your social network strong
by volunteering or simply
helping a neighbor. Make
a conscious effort to stay
connected with friends and
relatives by visiting with
them or keeping in touch by
phone or e-mail .
Eat healthy.
Maintaining a balanced
diet, low in saturated fats is
said to be better for cogni-
tive functioning. In addition,
the Alzheimer's Association
notes growing evidence that
a diet rich in dark vegetables
and fruits - which contain
antioxidants - may help
protect brain cells.
Stay active.
Regular exercise can in-
crease oxygen to the brain.
It can also lower the risk
for diseases that can lead to
memory loss, such as diabe-
tes and cardiovascular dis-
ease. Your doctor can help
you develop an exercise re-
gime that's best for you.
When to seek help.
"It's important to know
the difference between nor-
mal forgetting and some-
thing more serious," says
Scott Perry, president of
Bankers Life and Casualty
Company, who serves on
the board of directors of his
local Alzheimer's Associa-
tion chapter.
Serious memory prob-
lems, according to the Na-
tional Institute on Aging, are
those that affect a person's
ability to perform everyday
activities. For example:
* Asking the same ques-
fions over and over.
* Becoming lost in famil-
iar places.
* Not being able to fol-
low directions.
* Getting very confused
about time, people and plac-
es.
* Losing interest in daily
activities such as grooming
and eating.
If you have concerns
about your memory, talk to
your doctor right away. For

Quincy Improves To 3-3, Visits Silver Lake Saturday At 2 P.M.
Presidents Pull Out Win At W-H
By SEAN BRENNAN
A gusty call, a lucky
bounce and some solid de-
fense helped the Quincy
Presidents pull out a 3-0-
road victory over Whitman-
Hanson High School last
Friday night.
The victory pushed
Quincy 's record to 3-3 over-
all and 1-1 in the Patriot
League.
Facing a dwindling first-
half game clock that read
twenty seconds, Quincy was
looking at a fourth down and
eight yards to go at the W-H
20-yard line with the score
deadlocked at 0-0. Instead
of gambling and going for
the six points-the Presidents
had previously been denied
on a third down pass attempt
into the end zone-head coach
Bill Reardon sent his senior
placekicker, Mark Gilbody,
onto the field to attempt a
37-yard field goal.
Gilbody rewarded his
coach's decision by booting
the ball through the uprights
(thanks to a generous bounce
off the crossbar), giving the
Presidents the 3-0 lead that
they would not relinquish in
the second half.
"On the third down play
before Mark kicked the field
goal we ran a fade route,"
said Reardon. "But Whit-
man-Hanson did a nice job
FOOTBALL
Quincy - 3
^hitman-Hanson - 0
of knocking the ball away
from Anthony Raddatz in
the end zone. Looking at
fourth down, we decided to
give him the chance to go
out there and kick the ball.
"The kick hit the cross-
bar and bounced through. It
ended up being the differ-
ence."
The successful kick
helped to take the sting out
of some of the earlier missed
opportunities on offense that
the Presidents squandered
earlier in the half. Quincy,
for the game, drove the ball
inside the Panthers 30-yard
line five times but could not
convert. The Gilbody kick
was the one and only time
Quincy would put points on
the board.
"We had our chances
to score all game," added
Reardon. "We got inside
their 30-yard line five sepa-
rate times and could not get
points. But that kick was big
and our defense held them
down all game long."
Gilbody would later miss
on a third quarter 24-yard
field goal attempt.
On the defensive side of
the ball, the Presidents were
not lacking for stars or big
plays. Quincy held the Pan-
thers down all game; the de-
fensive line and linebackers
pressured the quarterback
and shutdown the run and
the defensive backfield took
away any thought of a pass-
ing attack.
On the final offensive
play of the game for the
Panthers, who at the time
were driving down the field
for the go-ahead score,
senior safety Adam Jean-
Baptist broke up a pass with
a monster hit and Quincy
regained control of the ball
and quarterback Lance Pe-
terson took a knee, running
out the clock.
"Our defense has been
spectacular most of the sea-
son," said Reardon. "They
played very well against
Whitman-Hanson. It seems
like every game we have
someone new step up and
make a big play. The play by
Adam at the end of the game
was critical. It helped to stop
any thought they may have
had of scoring late."
Reardon also noted the
play of senior linebackers
Sean Gray (INT) and Tim
Lewis (sack) and senior de-
fensive lineman EJ Louis
(sack).
"The defense is improv-
ing each week and in this
game we had several players
step up at critical pomts and
make stops or force turn-
overs. The unit seems to be
feeding off each other as the
season moves along."
With his team winning its
second game this month by
three points or less (Quincy
beat Rockland 7-6 on Oct.
3), Reardon is starting to get
a feel for where his team is
at midway through the 2008
season. And what he sees is
encouraging.
"There are two things I
like abut this team," he said.
"These kids fight hard to the
end of the game. Like the
play by Adam illustrates,
we are making plays at the
end of games. Sometimes
when you are used to los-
ing (Quincy came into 2008
with two straight 3-7 cam-
paigns) players just assume
they can't pull it out. But
these kids are making plays
when it counts.
"Secondly, this team
continues to get better ev-
ery week. They may make
a mistake but we have been
good at moving forward and
not letting it affect the game.
It is good to see."
Quincy is scheduled to
play on the road this Satur-
day against Silver Lake HS.
Kickoff is at 2 p.m.

North Quincy Still Has
Shot At 12th Postseason
North Quincy Looks To Rebound Against Hanover
Raiders' Win Streak Snapped
By SEAN BRENNAN
Their backs are against
the wall, but the North Quin-
cy Red Raider girls' soccer
team still has some fight left
in them as the season begins
to wind down.
With five games remain-
ing in the regular season,
the Raiders, who currently
hold a 5-8-2 record, need
to win four out of these five
games to reach their twelfth
straight post-season. Not
impossible, but definitely a
challenge.
"We have those five
games left and we need to
win four of them to keep
our streak of post-season
appearances alive," said NQ
head coach Paul Bregoli.
"We struggled early in the
year scoring goals and mak-
ing things happen on the
offensive side of the field,
but recently we have started
to show some toughness
and we have started to at-
tack and as a result we have
picked up some wins. We
have a challenge ahead of
us but the opportunity is still
out there."
The Raiders dropped
a 7-2 decision to Patriot
League foe Hanover High
School on Oct. 14, but came
back in force and scored
an important 2-0 win over
league opponent Randolph
High School last Thursday.
Agamst Randolph, NQ
senior captain Brittany
Folkins scored on a comer
kick six minutes into the
game to give the Raiders the
Girls
Soccer
early i-0 advantage. Two
minutes after Folkins scored
(her goal was the second of
her varsity career and her
second in two games) junior
midfielder Dana Djerf dou-
bled the score with a goal of
her own. The 2-0 first half
lead held up as the Raider
defense and the goaltending
of Siobhan Camell did not
allow Randolph any quality
scoring chances the rest of
the way. The shutout was
Camell 's fourth of the fall.
"Brittany played great
and the defense and goal-
tending was solid," said
Bregoli. "We really needed
a win and the girls played
tough and with an edge and
it showed. If we can contin-
ue to play that way the rest
of the season then we should
compete for that post season
spot."
Also playing well against
Randolph were sophomore
Shannon Coleman and ju-
nior Jackie Kelley.
In the game against
Hanover, the Raiders fell
behind early, but even with
Hanover pushing the attack,
NQ never backed down.
Folkins got North Quincy
on the board with her first
varsity goal with the assist
going to senior Lindsay
Reilly.
"Hanover is good but my
team came back and made
some things happen," said
Bregoli. "They didn't give
in and they played with an
edge all game long. It was
a tough loss but some good
did come out of it."
Freshman Jonlyn Lydon
scored the Raiders second
goal of the game with an as-
sist from Folkins. The goal
was Lydon 's first career var-
sity goal.
"All game long Folkins
was a force up front and
we played a strong game
all around," added Bregoli.
"We had some players step
up and play well against a
good team."
Bregoli singled out the
play of Folkins, seniors Erin
Collins and Lindsay Reilly
and junior Kristen Peterson.
By SEAN BRENNAN
The winning streak is
over.
After a disappointing
23-14 loss to Patriot League
opponent Rockland High
School last Friday night
at Veterans Memorial Sta-
dium, the North Quincy
Red Raiders will look to
fix what went wrong and

yards out on a fourth-and-

After more than a quarter
and a half, the Raiders could
get nothing going against
Rockland's defense, but then
move forward to their game

North Quincy (4-2 over-
all, 1 - 1 in league play) , which
was riding a four-game win-
ning streak, a streak that saw
the defense allow just one
like that, NQ took over the
game with five minutes plus
remaining in the first half.
Junior quarterback Mike
Stanton led his team on a
long drive, using mostly a
offensive touchdown during P^^s happy attack.

Bulldogs 3-0 just minutes
He also spoke highly of the '"^« ^^^ opening quarter

mistake by converting on a

later. Trailing for the first
time in over ten quarters.
24) and next Monday against North Quincy followed the
Somerville High School. A
makeup game against Sci-
tuate High School will be
played next week.
"We have to bear down
and win games," said
Bregoli. "The possibility is
still out there for us to make
a post season run. After
struggling all year scoring
goals, we have six in the last
three games and hopefully
we can carry that over dur-
ing this final stretch."
Rockland field goal by go-
ing three-and-out on its next
possession, and was forced
to punt the ball back to the
Bulldogs.
Rockland chewed up six
minutes of the game-clock;
moving 65 yards down the
field and scoring from 11
A 15-yard
from Stanton to Patrick
Watkins was followed with
a 74-yard touchdown strike
to Tim Stille that cut the
Rockland lead to 10-7. Stille
finished the game with five
catches for 133 yards and a
touchdown.
With the momentum
shifting towards the Red
Raider sideline, the NQ de-
fense showed its mettle by
forcing the Bulldogs into a
three-and-out. The Raiders
took the ball back with 2: 15
left in the half and Stanton
took his team 78 yards in
1:10. After a 41 -yard pass
from Stanton to Paul Ream-
er set the drive in motion,
Stanton found Matt Jay on a
12-yard pass for his second
touchdown of the game. The
score at halftime was 14-10
North Quincy.
Even after this late first-
half offensive barrage by the
Raiders, the Bulldogs still
had some bite left in them.
Rockland took the opening
kickoff of the second half
and drove 62 yards; capping
the impressive possession
off with a 22-yard touch-
down run. The 17-14 lead
would hold up the rest of the
way as North Quincy turned
the ball over twice in the
half.
The play that broke the
back of the Raiders occurred
late in the fourth quarter as
completion they were trying to drive the
length of the field for the
go-ahead score. NQ held
possession of the ball deep
in their end of the field, and
as Stanton dropped back to
pass, the Bulldog defensive
line forced a fumble that
was recovered inside the
five-yard line. On the fol-
lowing play, the Bulldogs
scored a touchdown to run
the score to 23-14.
Stanton (15-for-23, 273
yards, 2 TDs) was inter-
cepted on the Raiders next
possession and the winning
streak was over.
North Quincy and Ha-
nover High School will
square off at 7 p.m. Friday
at Veterans Memorial Sta-
dium.

22) You Ye in a period of fluc-
tuating moods, which is not
unusual for the Moon Child.
Your emotions stabilize by
the 26th. Meanwhile, tiy to
hold off making major deci-
sions until then.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
That keen sense of percep-
tion helps you hunt down
those minute details that oth-
ers overlook. And. of course,
your Leonine ego will accept
the expected praise with
good grace.
VIRGO (August 23 lo Sep-
tember 22) Be careful not to
be confrontational when rais-
ing a work-related issue. Bet-
ter to make a request than a
demand. And, of course, be
pjrepared to back up your case
with facts.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Your ego might
be hurt when a colleague
turns down your offer lo help.
But accept it as a rejection of
your offer, not of you. A
friend from the past could re-
emerge by week's end.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 2 1 ) A flow of pos-
itive energy turns a work pro-
ject you didn't want to do
into something you actually
love doing. Now, take that
attitude into your social, inti-
mate life — and enjoy what
follows.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21)
Working hard to meet your
professional goals is fine. But
don't neglect your private
life, especially where it con-
cerns your more cherished
relationships.
CAPRICORN (December
22 lo January 19) "Patience"
remains the key word in deal-
ing with an emotionally sen-
sitive situation involving a
close friend or family mem-
ber Help comes your way by
week's end.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 1 8) With new infor-
mation coming in, it's a good
time to rethink some of your
goals without taking sugges-
tions from others, no matter
how well-meaning they
might be.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Making progress
on your project is relatively
easy in the early part of the
week. A problem could arise
midweek. But all goes swim-
mingly once it's resolved.
BORN THIS WEEK:
Holding fast to your princi-
ples, no matter what, inspires
others to follow your exam-
ple.

*'He had a lot of courage'' .
. . It is a commendable compli-
ment; a fine tribute at any time .
. . before, during or after the final
moment of life.
Today, perhaps more than at any
other time , it takes a lot of courage
to bear witness to our beliefs, to
avoid compromise when conscience says we must. It
takes courage at times to agree. And it takes courage
to disagree when disagree we must.
I like this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson,
**Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever
course you decide upon, there is always someone
to tell you - *You are wrong.'" There are always
difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that
your critics are right. To map out a course of action
and follow it to an end, requires some of the same
courage which a soldier needs. Peace has its victories,
but it takes brave men to win them."

strong with two runs in the
top of the first off Hofbrau
starter Steve Lannan. Hoffy
quickly answered with a
lead-off home run from cen-
tertielder Nelly Feliciano.
First baseman Jim Dennis
and second baseman Ramon

were later driven in by out-
fielder Steve Yocco's line

the top of the lineup. Nelly

Dennis singled to center to
put runners on the comers.
Ramon then ripped a single
and catcher Greg Harper

Tips Offered Boomers On Talking To Aging Parents
How and when do you
talk to your aging mom and
dad about driving, dating
and independence??
Jennifer Moran of Home
Instead Senior Care will sug-
gest some answers in a free
program Wednesday, Oct.
22, at 7 p.m. at the Thomas
Crane Public Library, 40
Washington St.
Her program, "The
40/70 Rule: Conversation
Starters for Boomers and
Their Senior Loved Ones,"
will provide practical ways
to talk to parents before an
emergency or crisis arises.
The "40/70 Rule" means
that if you are 40 and your
parents are 70, it's time to
start talking about certain
senior topics. The difficulty
lies in the apparent rever-
sal of the usual child/adult
roles.
For more information,
call 617-376-1301.
City Council Passes On
Wind Power Discussion
While proponents of
wind power chafed restless-
ly at the bit, the City Council
Monday night passed up
discussion and a possible
vote on a zoning ordinance
regulating the placement of
such windmills.
The ordinance, pro-
posed Aug. 9 by Ward 2
City Councillor Daniel
Raymondi and languishing
in the Council's Ordinance
Committee ever since, was
on an early agenda but was
taken off at the last minute.
The ordinance would ban
wind facilities of more than
60 kilowatts capacity with-
out a Special Zoning Permit
from the Planning Board
and lists the visual, safety
and environmental impacts
that must be considered.
Meanwhile, Sen. Michael
Morrissey told proponents
gathered for a panel discus-
sion at the Quincy Historical
Society that the future of
wind power in Quincy de-
pends on passage of the or-
dinance.
Maura O'Gara and Steve
Perdios, members of the
executive committee of
the Quincy Environmental
Network, sponsors of the
meeting, said potential
builders of wind mills are
waiting until the ordinance
is passed before proceed-
ing. Arena area as a possibility.
O'Gara said several state Martha Broad of the
and private entities that are Mass Technology Council
interested in building wind- said the MTC could, at some
mills in Quincy, notably the
MWRA and the owner of
land in the old Fore River
Shipyard.
Morrissey told the 80
people in attendance that
one of the best ways to save
energy and money was to
build a facility at a location
that has great need for elec-
tricity on site.
One such site is the
MWRA facility on Nut
Island with its high ener-
gy usage and its abundant
wind.
P. J. Foley suggested
that Quincy has as many as
23 good locations, includ-
ing Quarry Hills and the
Braintree Split. Morrissey
point, offer "actual financial
support" for a windmill in
Quincy and Massachusetts
was one of two states that
would receive federal funds
to build a "cutting edge"
wind mill blade facility.
IBEW Local 103's wind
mill in Dorchester and the
twin wind mills in the town
of Hull were cited as en-
hancing the scenery around
it.
Foley noted that real es-
tate ads in Hull often touted
the wind mills as an attrac-
tion.
"People who have one
wind mill tend to want
another one," said Larry
Chretien of the Mass Energy
Consumer Alhance.

A Special Supplement

Forty Years!
By HENRY BOSWORTH
Publisher, The Quincy Sun
Forty years!
The Quincy Sun is marking its 40th anniversary with this
special supplement, recapping the highlights of Quincy hap-
penings these past four decades.
How quickly the years whiz by. And, the changes they
bring.
The first issue of The Quincy Sun rolled off the press
Sept. 26, 1968 in the latter part of a year that was both mo-
mentous-and tragic-for the nation.
Assassins cut short the lives of Martin Luther King, Jr.
and Robert Kennedy within two months of one another.
There were riots at the Democratic National Convention in
Chicago.
And, for the first time a war in a place called Vietnam
was right there in front of us in our living rooms nightly on
television.
That war soon hit home. A Vietnam War Memorial was
unveiled on Veterans Day, 1968 in Mount Wollaston Cem-
etery. Engraved on it were the names of 27 sons from Quin-
cy who had given their lives in a war that many-especially
young people-were having difficulty understanding.
Sadly, the names on the memorial would grow to 46 be-
fore the war ended.
Mayor James R. Mclntyre was in his second term and
closely watching the progress of the MBTA Red Line com-
ing into Quincy.
He convinced MBTA officials to relocate the planned
MBTA North Quincy station to spare 22 homes from demo-
lition and avert a costly year and a half construction delay.
It was the lead story in that first issue of The Sun under
the headlines:
New North Quincy Station Site
Major Delay Averted In Quincy MBTA Extension
In that same issue were a report from Congressman
James Burke in Washington, D.C., columns by Dr. Charles
Djerf and Fr. John McMahon, pastor of St. Mary's Church,
and one-called Sunbeams.
Locally, things were pretty good.
The General Dynamics shipyard, long-time economic
backbone of Quincy and the South Shore was booming with
a bulging backlog of contracts. The yard's workforce was at
8,000 with openings for 500 more jobs. There were optimis-
tic predictions there could soon be 10,000 workers there.
No one ever thought those good times would be followed
by the bad with the shipyard, builder of famed warships and
luxury liners, closing down in 1986. That was hard to take.
The average family income in Quincy in 1968 was esti-
mated at $11,000. Not much compared to today's salaries.
But a dollar went a lot further back then.
You could still buy a pretty nice home for under $25,000.
A new Ford could be had for $3,200 and you could keep the
tank full at 34 cents a gallon.
Bread was 22 cents a loaf. You could mail a letter for six
cents.
Yes, it was a pretty good year.
And, a pretty good year we thought, to launch a commu-
nity weekly newspaper, in Quincy.
We introduced ourselves with an editorial entitled "Sun-

OUR SECOND LOCATION was on the second floor of the Mutual BuUding on Hancock St.,

we often had trouble with the heat. Here Muriel Lyon, typesetter, Sun publisher Henry Bos-

rise" that Sept. 26. A letter from Mayor Mclntyre wel-
comed us.
Reaction to that first issue was encouraging. But
there were skeptics who read the "Sunrise" edito-
rial and predicted "Sunset" would follow within six
months.
And, there were times we thought they would prove
right.
But fortunately there were those-readers, news
sources and advertisers-who strongly believed in a
community newspaper and also felt that having two
newspapers in town was better than having just one.
Advertisers like Remo and Pete DeNicola at South
Shore Television, George Reardon at President Chev-
rolet, Bob Fitzgerald and Bob Costello at South Shore
Buick and Leo Darr at Quincy Motor kept us afloat
during those crucial early months.
Especially Remo and Pete who committed to a se-
ries of two-page centerfold ads that were like a gift
from Heaven .
Readers who plunked down a dime for a copy en-
couraged us. Those who paid $3.50 in advance for a
year's subscription by mail showed their faith in us
despite the skeptics and their predictions of doom.
Many of you were among our supporters back then.
And thanks to you, we hung in there and are still here
today -40 years later.
It all started in a second floor corner office in the old
Quincy Conservatory building at 7 Foster Street.
We moved a year later to another second floor of-
fice above the Kincaide furniture store in the Mutual
Building on Hancock Street, later destroyed by fire.
We finally made it to the street floor in February
1975 at our present location in the former Quincy Sav-
ings Bank building. Charlie Pearce. president of the
bank, made it financially possible for us to make that
important move. We later purchased our unit and be-
came a Quincy taxpayer.
We have seen many changes in Quincy 's landscape
these 40 years: the coming of the T, State Street South.
Marina Bay. Crown Colony, new City Hall, additions
to Quincy Medical Center and the Thomas Crane Li-
brary, the Quincy Center Plaza, Granite Links, Mar-
riott Hotel, among them.
And have seen some landmarks disappear: Re-
mick's, the Bargain Center, the Waldorf Restaurant,
DiMarzio's roller skating rink, and, more recently,
WJDA, the Registry of Motor Vehicles and Beech-
wood Life Center.
We have covered the administrations of seven may-
ors and now Tom Koch our eighth. Their accomplish-
ments, goals and frustrations.
We saw Mayor Walter Hannon go home one elec-
tion night the apparent winner only to have a recount
say no, the real winner was Joseph LaRaia.
And those two more recent big mayoral upsets:
William Phelan defeating six-term incumbent James
Sheets by 17 votes in the closest mayoral election in
the city's history. And six years later, Tom Koch upset-
ting Phelan.
We bid sad farewell to powerful and popular politi-
cal figures as Amelio Delia Chiesa, James Mclntyre,
Thomas Burgin, James Burke, Paul Harold, Clifford
Marshall.
We have recorded Quincy 's economic ups and
downs. And have seen Quincy's face change in diver-
sity with an Asian population of 23,000 representing
25 percent of the city's total population.
We have reported the closings of churches and the
re-configuration of parishes and most recently the
closing of Beth Israel Synagogue.
We have watched our young news carriers grow up;
go off to college, into military service-some to war-
and into successful business and professional careers.
Among those carriers were young girls who grow
up like Gigi and graced our social pages as beautiful
brides.
We have chronicled thousands of births, high school
and college graduates, dean's lists, honor rolls, and
sadly the deaths of civic, business, religious and sports
leaders.

Moral in \fanntni> photo
We have honored 25 recipients as The Quincy Sun
Citizen of the Year for outstanding community service.
The award was established in 1985.
We cheered when Hank Conroy's Quincy Presi-
dents went undefeated in 1970 to win the Greater
Boston League Championship. And in 1992 when
Ken McPhee's North Quincy Red Raiders won it all:
undefeated season, the Old Colony League title and a
last minute victory over Arlington in the Division IB
Super Bowl.
We are often asked. "What is your favorite issue?"
service recognition from a number of Quincy organi-
zations.
One of the awards was the National Newspaper
Foundation's Blue Ribbon Award recognizing us as
"an outstanding community newspaper.""
That's what we wanted to be when that first issue
came off the press in 1968. We hope we have been.
And will continue to work at it.
It has been an interestmg four decades as "Historic
Quincy's Hometown Weekly Newspaper.""
We have said it before and we would like to sa\ it
And. we reply, as we have for 40 years: the first, be- again: All of \ou-our readers, advertisers, news sourc-
cause it was the beginning-the one that started it all.
Ranked right up there as we have also said is the
Feb. 9. 1978 issue: The Blizzard of '78.
Quincy was virtually paralyzed by 27 inches of
snow and winds that gusted to more than 90 miles per
hour. And we managed, somehow, to get the paper out
just one day late. The banner headlines over the Page
1 story and photos:
The Big Dig Goes On. ..And On. ..And On...
Please No More!!
One nice side to that blizzard: it united the city,
bringing people-neighbors and strangers-together to
help one another get through it.
Through the years. The Sun has won a number of
awards for editorials, features, supplements and pho-
tography from our newspaper peers and community
es and carriers-are as much a part of The Quincy Sun
as the staff.
Without vou we would never have reached this 4{)th
year milestone. Without you. those skeptics might
have been right. We might not have made it past tht)se
crucial first six months.
With your help and encouragement, we look for-
ward to "going on 50" with confidence and enthusi-
asm.
We are proud to carr> the name Quincy in our ban-
ner. That's what we are all about: Quinc> . The best city
in the world.
As we begin our fifth decade we want to thank all of
you for making it possible. You really did.
Thank you. Quincy.
Thank you. most sincerely.
THE QUINCY SUN sign went up at our third and present location in the old Quincy Savings Bank Building, 1372 Hancock St.,
Feb. 25, 1975.

The agony and pain of it
all were felt here as Quin-

a little-known country so
far away in a war that had
become so controversial
it was tearing the nation
apart.

and the young men and
women of Quincy return."
The flag was finally
lowered in February 1973
when the last two Quincy
sons. Navy Comdr. Richard
A. Stratton, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Charles A. Stratton of

Mount Wollaston Cemetery. Principal figures at the ceremonies included Mayor James R. Rclntyre and Congressman James A.
Burke shown at right. Sadly, the list of names grew to over 40 on the memorial.
Stratton, who was a
POW for six years, said:
"My hometown was the
root of whatever strength I
had to resist the enemy and
stay alive."
"We wept tears of joy,"
said Brudno of his release
after seven and a half
years.
But tragedy was to fol-
low.
Just four months iater-
the day before his 33rd
birthday-Brudno was found

The Vietnam War:
The Pain
And The Agony
Cont'd from page 5
"There is no sense to liv-
ing any longer. My life is
no longer worth living."
He was the first of the
returned POWs to die and
it made news across the
country.
Why did he take his own
life?
His brother, Robert J.
Brudno had his answer in
an article he wrote in News-
week. It was entitled "Un-
finished Business" with
the subhead: "I think it's
time for anti-Vietnam War
Americans to recognize the
pain they caused."
Feeling that too much
comfort was given to the
enemy during the war and
not enough to those who
came home from it, he
wrote, in part:
"He became a victim not
just of the North Vietnam-
ese, but of the inability of
so many in his own country.
during that horrible war, to
separate the war from the
warriors.
"Whether the war was
right or wrong, these were
our boys. They deserved
our support whatever the
cause, whatever the result.
"The anti-war move-
ment has yet to recognize
the pain and heartache that
it caused. My brother had
no say in the politics that
sent him to war. The lack
of appreciation for what he
had done combined with
the rationale of those who
gave aid and comfort to the
enemy, helped destroy the
will to live that had kept
him alive (as a POW) for
all those years."
Forty years later, that
war is still painfully re-
membered.

Amelio Delia Chiesa
Remembered With Fondness
1974
By TOM HENSHAW
There was nothing glam-
orous about Amelio Delia
Chiesa, not when he is com-
pared to most of the stars
in the political firmament
today. He was the son of
Italian immigrants. He was
a plumber by trade, a gradu-
ate of what was then Quincy
Trade School .
But when he died at his
retirement home in Pem-
broke on Oct. 1 , 1975, at the
age of 74, he was recalled
as one of Quincy's greatest
mayors, a man who helped
guide his city through one of
its most trying episodes, the
switch from Plan A to Plan
E and back again.
Until the arrival of Jim
Sheets in the comer office
for 12 years, the man who
was known as "Mel" alone
held the longevity record
with eight years swerved as
the popularly elected mayor
under Plan A and four years
elected by the City Council
under Plan E.
His career got off to a
rocky start.
His big brother, Aldo,
was the City Council-
lor from Ward 3 when the
younger Delia Chiesa tried
to join him in an at-large
AMELIO DELLA CHIESA
seat. But he lost in 1938 and
lost again in 1940 and lost
again in 1942. A year later
he was elected to succeed
his brother in Ward 3. He
never lost again.
When the Plan E form of
city government with its city
manager, ceremonial mayor
and complicated method
of counting votes came to
Quincy in January, 1950,
Delia Chiesa, one of its sup-
porters, went right along
with it, retaining his Coun-
cil seat.
He was even chosen by
his colleagues to become
mayor himself for the last
four years of Plan E before,
after a long, bitter battle, the
anti-Plan E forces in the city
prevailed.
And when it came time
to let the voters choose the
mayor once again, it was
Delia Chiesa, the supporter
of Plan E, who defeated
Laurence Curtis, a leader of
the Plan A forces, in the race
to be the first Plan A mayor.
As mayor, Delia Chiesa
was known for his honesty
to a fault, his conservatism
that lent stability to the con-
troversial change in govern-
ment and his advocacy of
privatization, as in having
private companies pick up
the city's trash.
At the height of his polit-
ical career, he and his wife,
Evelyn, lost their only son,
Walter, a West Point gradu-
ate and Air Force lieutenant,
when his plane disappeared
during the Korean War on a
routine mission over the Pa-
cific off Okinawa.
Delia Chiesa retired from
the mayor's office undefeat-
ed in January, 1966, and was
serving his eighth and final
term as state representative
in 1969 when he read the
signs.
It was time for him to go,
time for a new generation to
take over — Jim Mclntyre,
who he defeated in his last
run for mayor, Arthur To-
biin, Walter Hannon, Joe
LaRaia and the like.

Five new city councillors
took office, believed to be
the biggest turnover in that
body in the city's history.
The five: Leo J. Kelly (Ward
1), John J Lydon (Ward 3),
James A. Sheets (Ward 4),
Warren A. Powers (Ward 5),
and Dennis E. Harrington
(Ward 6).
G
Mayor Walter Hannon
began his second term with
a pledge to attack the city's
unemployment problem and
advocated downtown de-
velopment.
G
Sen. Edward Kennedy,
in a visit to The Quincy
Sun, predicted a good year
for the General Dynamics
shipyard with an increase in
contracts.
U
The Sun conducted a
random telephone survey in
February on President Rich-
ard Nixon and Watergate.
The results: 31.4 percent
thought he should resign,
another 3 1 .4 percent felt he
should complete his term,
25.7 percent said he should
be impeached and 1 1 .4 per-
cent said they were unde-
cided.
a
Six months later, fol-
lowing Nixon's resignation,
another Quincy Sun survey
found 60.6 percent of those
polled believed he should
be prosecuted.
Q
The city's unemploy-
ment rate reached 10.57
percent during January and
February.
G
Some 1,8(X) production
workers at the General Dy-
namics shipyard walked off
the job in March, the start of
a 123 -day strike by Local 5.
G
An eventual new three-
year contract gave the worker
a $1.48 per hour across-the-
board pay raise over the three
years with insurance, retire-
ment, disability and other
benefits. The loss to all parties
during the strike was estimat-
ed in the millions of dollars.
G
Re-elected were Con-
gressman James A. Burke,
state Sen. Arthur Tobin, state
Reps. Joseph Brett, Wil-
liam Delahunt and Thomas
Brownell, and Dist. Atty.
George Burke.
G
Janice Lamparelli, 18,
was crowned Miss Quincy
Bay.
G
A 78-year old Quincy
business landmark, the Old
Colony Laundry closed.
G
Machine guns were
added to the Police Depart-
ment's weapons following
a 40 percent rise in the city's
crime rate. Mayor Hannon
defended the controversial
move, saying the depart-
ment needed to fight crime
with equal force.
G
Deaths included movie
and stage comedian Billy
De Wolfe, 67, who grew up
in Quincy as Billy Jones and
Edward T. "Red" Lewis,
68, Quincy's last Plan E city
manager.

LaRaia Defeats Hannon In Close Recount
Mayor Walter J. Hannon
went to bed election night
Nov. 4, 1975 the winner
of a third term over Joseph
J. LaRaia, climaxing a
bitterly-fought campaign.
Onlyitwasnttheclimax.
That was yet to come.
Tabulations that night
showed Hannon with
17,060 votes to LaRaia's
16,926: a sliml34-vote
victory margin.
But a recount was to
determine LaRaia the actual
winner.
Hannon was 44 and
LaRaia 43, both of them
former city councillors and
veterans of a number of
Quincy political battles.
But this one-between
them-was the closest
mayoral election in a
half-century with the pair
slugging it out with no holds
barred on the campaign
trail .
There was no trouble
getting the vote out that
year. A record number-
34,374 voters-went to the
polls. That was even more
than the 33,355 that turned
out for the showdown
between incumbent Amelio
Delia Chiesa and challenger
James R. Mclntyre in 1959,
which Delia Chiesa won by
2,017 votes.
The Hannon-LaRaia
recount held two weeks
after the election showed
LaRaia the actual winner
by 483 votes- 17 ,231 to
16,748.
This was during
Quincy's paper ballot days
and votes were counted in
blocks of 50.
Some of those blocks
were erroneously credited
to Hannon in the election
night count and should have
gone to LaRaia. Hannon
people shrugged it off as
a mistake. LaRaia people
charged someone was
trying to steal the election.
Hannon called for an
investigation to clear the
air.
"1 won't leave this
office," he said, "with any
impression...] have nothing
to do with the election, with
counting votes. There'll be
no aspersions cast at me."
Judge Albert L. Kramer
conducted an in-depth
inquest at Quincy District
Court. It found that the
miscount of the votes was
an honest mistake made
by six different people at
six different polling places.
They, it was determined,
had written down LaRaia's
1975
VICTORY KISS- Joseph LaRaia and his wife, Louise, cele-
brate his recount win with a kiss.

figures on Hannon's line on
tally sheets, the layout of
which was confusing.
The error, it was
determined, was
compounded by the use of
the so-called "flash count"
system of bundling votes
in blocks of 50 in order to
speed up the vote count.
And, none of the poll
workers had been assigned
to double-check figures.
Later, a committee of
citizens appointed by new
Mayor LaRaia, himself,
reviewed the evidence
and came to the same
conclusion: the election
was honest but the count
sloppy.
There were those,
however, including LaRaia,
who were still skeptical.
"You can never erase
that small doubt from your
mind," he said.
The election was over.
But the hard feelings were
still there and would be
there for years to come.
And, LaRaia's single
term would be one of the
stormiest in the city's
history.

LaRaia Starts Stormy Term
Tobin Ousts LaRaia
Joseph J. LaRaia, Quin-
cy's 25th mayor, began
what would be a stormy and
his only term, cleaning out
City Hall of personnel with
ties to the Walter Hannon
and James Mclntyre admin-
istrations. It was dubbed the
"January Massacre" by The
Sun. LaRaia said he wanted
people "with regard to my
goals and not in opposition
with them."
After some controversy.
Mayor LaRaia agreed to a
$13.5 million project to ren-
ovate the 50-year-old North
Quincy High School. The
cost was $1.5 million less
than originally estimated.
G
LaRaia battled with Po-
lice Chief Francis Finn and
Fire Chief Edward Barry,
cutting $700,000 from
Finn's proposed department
budget, and $950,000 from
Barry's.
The tax rate was set at
$194.60, an increase of
$34.90. LaRaia blamed the
big jump on under budgeting
in Hannon's administration
and interference by Council
President Arthur Tobin.
G
A $21 million grant for
construction of the Quincy
Adams (South Quincy)
MBTA station was approved
by the Mass Transportation
Administration, Washington.
G
WJDA personality Mary
Johnson, who with her hus-
band, Russ, became friends
with Jimmy Carter, died
from cancer a few days af-
ter Carter was elected Presi-
dent. Carter personally sent
her a bouquet of roses while
she was in the hospital. The
Johnsons met Carter when
he was invited to speak at
the South Shore Protestant
Men's Breakfast in 1973
and they met him at the air-
port and escorted him to the
breakfast.
G
Public school enrollment
was 14,772, lowest in 10
years.
G
One of Quincy 's favorite
daughters, award winning
actress Ruth Gordon, cel-
ebrated her 80th birthday.
Her hometown helped mark
the milestone with a giant
cake.
G
"Quincy Is Our Name"
was selected the city's of-
ficial song, composed by
John Fantucchio of Quincy,
a Berkley School student.
J
A number of Quincy
stores defied the 250-year-
old "blue laws" statute of
opening on Sunday. Five
were cited by the Police De-
partment.
G
Deaths included Mrs.
Evelyn Delia Chiesa, wife
of the late Mayor Amelio
Delia Chiesa; Mrs. William
P. Mclntyre, 72, mother of
former Mayor James Mcln-
tyre; Michael J. Peatridge,
29, information officer for
Mayor LaRaia, killed in
an auto accident; Anthony
Venna, 76, former Quincy
Welfare Commission; Frank
Kelly, former news photog-
rapher and founder of the
Quincy Track Club; Joseph
P. Collins, co-founder and
director of the Quincy De-
toxification Center; Alfred
Raymondi , superintendent
of the Quincy Highway De-
partment and Paul Nigro,
17, president of the National
Honor Society at Quincy
High School.
City Council President
Arthur H. Tobin ousted in-
cumbent Joseph L. LaRaia
from the mayor's office by
a vote of 19,096 to 14,046
in November. Tobin also
led a six-candidate field
for mayor in the September
preliminary election.
G
LaRaia's appointment
of Lt. Corady Solimini to
the post of Inspector of
Divisions in the Police De-
partment was shot down
in court. Judge Edward
Brown ruled it exceeded
the mayor's authority. It
would have made Solimini
second in command to only
Police Chief Francis Finn.
G
A raid on a Quincy
Point cafe helped break up
a multi-million dollar gam-
bling ring. It was led by
Lt. David Powell who had
been restored to the Special
Services Unit by a court in-
junction by Chief Finn af-
ter LaRaia had put Powell
on uniformed street duty.
G
LaRaia, Finn and Fire
Chief Edward Barry were

proposed, and they opposed

22 Inches Of Snow, Winds Gust Over 90 mph
The Blizzard of '78 Brings City To Standstill
By HENRY BOSWORTH
It started to snow early
Monday, Feb. 6 and when
it stopped late Tuesday, 27
inches had fallen,bringing
the city to a standstill for
four days.
It was the heaviest
snowfall since the Boston
Weather Bureau started
keeping records in 1870.
And it fell on top of a
22-inch snowfall Jan. 20-
-just 17 days before. And
yet to come was another
nine inches on March 4-5.
That was a lot of snow.
The Feb. 6 northeaster-
-The Blizzard of '78— was
backed by winds that gusted
to more than 90 miles an
hour. High tides, driven by
those winds, rose five feet
higher than usual, flooding
sections of Houghs Neck
and Squantum, where
several hundred people
had to be evacuated from
their homes.
Fortunately, there were
not storm-related deaths
in Quincy. But damage-
-mostly to homes-was
heavy. It was estimated at
$70 million. The cost for
snow removal alone was
set at around $600,000.
Cars were strung along
the Southeast Expressway
and Route 128 with drivers
still in them waiting to be
rescued.
Gov. Michael Dukakis
issued an edict banning
all but the most essential
highway travel for nearly
a week. In Quincy, only
vehicles on emergency
missions were allowed on
the streets.
People trudged through
the snow or on skis, pulling
sleds to get to stores and
bring back food. And
many of them became
reacquainted with one
another.
Quincy youngsters
thought it was great time.
They got an unexpected
six-day vacation from
school.

James
set up a

headquarters
St. to direct
snow removal and relief
operations for the elderly
and those in need.
The Federal Disaster
Assistance Administration
opened a tield office in the
Quincy Vo-Tech School
gym to process emergency
loan applications. The Red
Cross turned part of Quincy
High School into a disaster
center for emergency
housing, clothing, food
and medical supplies.
Radio station WJDA,
except for a four-hour
period when it was knocked
off the air when high tide
flooded its transmitter in
Germantown, got back on
and stayed on all night past
its dawn-to-sunset hours
broadcasting emergency
reports. Members of the
staff slept at the station that
night.
Twenty-five persons
were arrested for looting
during the storm, primarily
in the Houghs Neck and
Germantown areas where
homes were evacuated.
There were other cases in
North Quincy.
But there were many
heroes who came to the aid
of others.
Among them was
Warren Sims who
organized a bucked brigade
to quell a fire on Stoughton
St. in Houghs Neck that
could not be reached by
fire apparatus.

TWO PEDESTRIANS make their way through a mountain of snow left in Quincy by the Blizzard of '78.

James (Red) Riley,
custodian at the Atherton
Hough School, remained
at his post to help refugees
despite the fact that his
own home was flooded.
And Sylvester Ray,
whose heavy equipment
was hired to clear Houghs
Neck streets of snow, got
to do something extra.
In the Edgewater Drive
section of Houghs Neck,
which was being pounded
by the rushing high tide,
he rescued people from the
second floorof their flooded
homes, in the bucket of a
front-end loader.
A feeling of togethemess
and unity descended
upon the area in a way
reminiscent of World War
II. People helping one
another.
"There's always some
good that comes out of
every happening and the
blessing of this blizzard was
that it brought the people
of our city together," said
Mayor Tobin.
DORIS AND LARRY M irick managed a smile in front of their battered home at 126 'Rimer St.,
near Edgewater Drive in an area hard hit by the Blizzard of '78.

City Stunned At Death Of Former Mayor James Mclntyre
By HENRY BOSWORTH
The death of James R.
Mclntyre stunned the city
March?, 1984.
One of Quincy's all-
time popular and powerful
political figures, he was
suddenly gone at age
53 from a heart attack
following unrelated
surgery at Massachusetts
General Hospital.
It was hard to believe,
for his family, his close
friends, followers and,
yes, critics.
Quincy's political
scene, it was thought,
would never be quite the
same again. And it hasn't,
really.
His political career was
somewhat spectacular.
The son of Quincy
Police Capt. William and
Lillian Mclntyre, he was
elected city councillor
at age 25 in 1955 in his
first bid for public office
while still in college. He
would go on to become
City Council president,
state representative, state
senator and mayor.
His only political
defeat came in 1 959 when
at age 29 he challenged
the old master, powerful
incumbent Amelio Delia
Chiesa.
Delia Chiesa, who
served 1 2 years as mayor-
eight under Plan A and
four under Plan E, died
in 1975. But his death did
not have the impact that
Mclntyre's did because
he was retired from the
political scene for nearly
10 years and had moved
out of Quincy.
Mclntyre gave up the
mayor's office in 1971
after serving three terms
to become counsel to the
Massachusetts Senate, a
post he held at the time of
his death.
That job took him out
of the local spotlight but
not out of politics. He
remained a dominant
figure-in the background.
His detractors and
political enemies called
him commander of "the
Mclntyre Machine" and
the Godfather. But they
never called him "stupid."
He was one of the
brightest and most intelli-
gent political figures in the
city's history.
As for the "Mclntyre
Machine," his followers
JAMES R. McINTYRE
said it was only a group
who believed in the same
things he did and how
best to improve Quincy.
Among them were Walter
Hannon and Arthur Tobin
who would both go on
to become mayor. And,
if there was a machine,
they mused; at least it had
round wheels and moved
Quincy forward.
And, as for that
"Godfather" tag, it was
really more a political
compliment. Just about
every young person
thinking of running for of-
fice sought his advice first.
And veteran office holders
sought his counsel, like
sort of a "blessing."
James and Sheila Mcln-
tyre adopted four children-
Elizabeth, Sheila, William
and Charles. Their home
was filled with love and
warmth.
But tragedy lurked.
In December 198.3,
William died of injuries
suffered in a fall down an
elevator shaft in Boston.
Now on March 12,
1984, less than three
months later-another
funeral.
Some 1 ,()00 mourners
filled St. John's Church
for the Mass, including
a virtual Who's Who on
the state, county and city
political scenes.
Among them: Senate
President William Bulger,
Lt. Gov. John Kerry, Atty.
Gen. Francis Bellotti,
House Speaker Thomas
McGee, State Auditor
John Finnegan, former
Senate Presidents Maurice
Donahue and Kevin
Harrington, former House
Speaker David Bartley,
former Lt. Gov. Thomas
P. O'Neill 111, Judge
Edward Hennessey, chief
justice of the Supreme
Judicial Court, Judge
Albert Kramer, presiding
justice of Quincy District
Court, former Dist. Atty.
George Burke, Mayor
Francis McCauley. former
Mayors Thomas Burgin
and Joseph LaRaia, state
Sen. Paul Harold, state
Reps. Thomas Brownell.
Michael Morrissey, Robert
Cerasoli. Robert Ambler,
Sheriff Clifford Marshall.
Governor's Councillor
Peter Eleey, City Council
President James Sheets
and members of the
City Council and School
Committee.
Former Mayors Walter
Hannon and Arthur Tobin,
Dist. Atty. William Dela-
hunt. City clerk John
Gillis and School Supt.
Lawrence Creedon were
among the honorary
pallbearers.
Bulger, with whom
Mclntyre served in the
Massachusetts Senate and
one of the speakers at the
Mass said in tribute:
"As do all men of
action in governmental
service, he had to endure
the insolence of lesser
men who assumed the role
of critic. But he was never
one to truckle to the forces
of power and publicity.
"In this city of Quincy
he loved so much, he left
the imprint of his zeal and
personality."
Bishop Thomas V.
Dailey, vicar general and
chancellor of the Boston
Archdiocese was the
principal celebrant of the
Mass. concelebrated by
Fr. William McCarthy.
St. John's pastor, and
Rev. Msgr. James Scully,
pastor of St. Ann's Church
in Wollaston.
On a light note. Fr.
McCarthy observed that
Mclntyre had made many
appointments during his
life, "But to me he gave
the greatest appointment
of all- he made me the
chaplain of the machine."
Clergymen of all faiths
and civic leaders attended
the Mass.
Sheila Mclntyre, in
her reflection of her life
with her husband, noted
a quote on the family's
daily calendar for March
7, the da> he died:
"The great use of life is
to spend it for somethmg
that outlasts it."
Jim Mclntyre's life, his
friends say. was much too
short but he did spend it
on much that will last.

Fore River Shipyard
Closes, Sold At Auction
By TOM HENSHAW
It once reverberated to
the sound of the riveter's
hammer and the sight of the
welder's torch as 32,000
workers turned out the war-
ships that won a great war in
the Pacific.
But, in the years that
followed, the Fore River
Shipyard had fallen on hard
times, ending when it was
finally closed for good in
1 986 and sold at auction for
$9 million in 2CX)3.
The winner bidder was
automobile dealer Dan
Quirk and for a while it was
feared that what was once
one of the world's great
shipyards and the lifeblood
of Quincy would become a
used car lot.
The yard was owned by
the Bethlehem Steel Com-
pany during the wartime
years but it was sold to
General Dynamics in 1963
and enjoyed a brief surge of
prosperity building liquefied
natural gas (LNG) tankers.
General Dynamics sold
it in 1987 to the Massachu-
setts Water Resources
Authority (MWRA) as a
staging area for the Boston
Harbor cleanup and a drying
area for sludge and pellet-
making.
When the MWRA had no
further need for the yard in
1997, it was sold to Sotirios
Emmanouil, an MIT-
educated Greek national
and head of Massachusetts
Heavy Industries, who
pledged to return shipbuild-
ing to Quincy.
But first he sought a $240
million construction loan
from the U. S. Maritime
Administration (MARAD)
to begin the cleanup and
modernization of the yard.
"It will be done by next
month," he promised. "Then
nine months after that mod-
ernization will be com-
pleted. Then another three
months and the first keel
will be laid."
Quincy was so enamored
of the return of shipbuilding
that the city committed $7.8
million to the shipyard and
$330,000 of its $2,441,000
CDBG was reserved to
make a loan payment.
"Sotirios not only came
with education and experi-
ence, he came with $240
million in contracts to build
six ships once the plant is up
and running," said Mayor
James Sheets.
But the contracts proved
to be a mirage and Massa-
chusetts Heavy Industries
went bankrupt and defaulted
on $55 million of the re-
quested $240 million of the
MARAD-backed loan al-
ready guaranteed.
MARAD paid off the $55
million loan and took over
the 135-acre site in March,
2000, and finally put it up
for auction three years later
when it was bought by auto
dealer Dan Quirk for future
development.
But even as the shipyard
moved on to a brighter fu-
ture, two men were killed
when a crane way collapsed
on a building they were re-
moving and another died in
the removal of the Goliath
Crane for shipment to a yard
in Romania.
THE FORE RIVER shipyard, builder of some of the great warships of World War II with a
working force of thousands, closed down in 1986 and later sold at auction.

Sheets Leads Effort
To Keep Quincy Hospital Open
ByTOMHENSHAW
For five uncertain days
in October, 1999, the city of
Quincy wasn't sure it would
have a health care facility of
its own the next morning.
Faced with deep cuts in
federal Medicare payments,
which made up 60 percent
of its revenues ,111 -year-old
Quincy Hospital was on the
verge of closing.
The solution was a
merger with a financially
stable health care facility
and Boston Medical Center,
the old Boston City Hospi-
tal , looked with approval on
such a union.
But who wanted to take
on an institution that was
$70 million in debt?
It was then that Mayor
James Sheets, the City
Council and the legislative
delegations on Beacon Hill
and in Washington set about
to erase the deficit.
The city managed to
commit $33 million. The
feds came up with another
223 million. All eyes turned
to the state, where a $12.1
million interest-free loan
was wending its way slowly
through the Legislature.
The deadline was Oct. 1.
But there was disagreement
between the House and
the Senate. House Speaker
Thomas Finneran and Sen-
ate President Thomas Bir-
mingham say down to nego-
tiate a compromise.
Oct. 1 came and went,
the start of a new fiscal year
and Quincy Hospital had no
operating budget. Then Oct.
2 ... 3 ...4... 5. On Oct. 6,
agreement was reached and
Quincy Hospital — now
Quincy Medical Center —
was pulled back from the
brink.
The venerable Quincy
Hospital, founded in 1888,
had gone from a private
25-bed cottage hospital to a
public hospital in 1918 to a
282-bed private non-profit
community hospital once
again.
The loan bill was signed
into law two days later by
Gov. Paul Cellucci and Lt.
Gov. Jane Swift in open air
ceremonies in front of the
Medical Center with most
of those responsible in at-
tendance. But mainly it was
Mayor Sheets.
"1 don't know how it is ,
Bill Delahunt, over in your
office, or how it is, Gover-
nor, with you," said Sen. Ted
Kennedy, "but every time I
go out in my waiting room
day and night, Jim Sheets is
out there. 'Can I talk to you
just one more minute, sena-
tor?' This is the first time he
has been back home with a
smile on his face."

Mayor, Councillors
Get Salary Hikes
Mayor James Sheets pro-
posed and the City Council
approved a $183 million
municipal budget for fiscal
2001 , a 6 percent increase
over the previous year, in-
cluding pay raises for the
mayor to $495,000 and
Councillors to $19,500.
At the insistence of the
mayor and in the face of
grumbling by the business
community, the Council
dropped the business clas-
sification from 175 percent
of full valuation to 169 per-
cent, which set a residential
tax rate of $15.94 and busi-
ness $33.56.
J
The School Building
Needs Task Force voted
unanimously to consider
only a site on Quincy Av-
enue in South Quincy for
the new $65 million Quincy
High School.
But Mayor Sheets
changed his mind when it
was pointed out loudly that
the site had been a dump
where the Fore River Ship-
yard got rid of its waste,
some of it toxic, in the 1940
and '50s.
G
The U.S. Maritime Ad-
ministration paid off Mas-
sachusetts Heavy Industries
$55 million loan and took
over the Fore River Ship-
yard. The company laid off
its entire workforce and
filed for bankruptcy but in-
sisted they still planned to
build ships there.

WJDA Signs Off
After 59 Years
For years, at 10 o'clock
each morning, radio dials
throughout Quincy were
tuned to 1300 and listen-
ers settled back to enjoy
30 minutes of strictly lo-
cal news and views.
It was, many agreed.
Radio WJDA's finest half
hour.
But, on Friday, April
28, 2006, the fabled "Par-
ty Line" made its last ap-
pearance in Quincy as
59-year-old WJDA was
sold for $4.5 million to
Principle Broadcasting
Network.
Quincy folks who
tuned in for Party Line
on the morning of May 1
heard a strange mixture of
Christian-oriented music
and talk coming all the
way from the new studios
in Chelsea.
"It's getting harder
and harder to make it as a
stand alone station," said
Jay Asher, the president
and CEO of WJDA and
the son of James Asher,
the station's founder.
"We're not going out
JAMES D. ASHER SR.
with our tail between our
legs. We still do a good
job. But the business has
changed. We're one of the
few stations in the Boston
area that stands alone."
WJDA, whose call let-
ters were the initials of
James Dudley Asher Sr.,
debuted on the air at 6
a.m., Sept. 13, 1947, with
Asher and his partner, Jo-
seph Tobin, presiding.
Tobin moved away and
the elder Asher died in
1973 leaving a young (26)
Jay Asher in charge.
Over the years, WJDA
JAY ASHER

casters and listeners alike,
who recalled the memo-

station's past.
There was the long ago

director for 35 years,

of his early morning inter-
view calls to police station

South Shore for his 6 a.m.

First Classes At New QHS Set For February 2009
Possibly the longest
running affray in recent
years was the siting with
90 per cent state reim-
bursement of a new Quin-
cy High School with a new
Central Middle School
and renovation of Sterling
Middle School thrown in.
It began in 1997 when
a plan was unveiled for
a $73.1 million project
aimed at improving the
physical plants of the
three schools and the City
Council approved a $15.5
bond issue to get the first
phase underway.
It was still progressing
without a hitch in July,
2000, when the School
Building Needs Task
Force voted unanimously
not to consider any site
but one on Quincy Av-
enue in South Quincy that
the city had purchased for
$3.5 million.
City Auditor Michael
McFarland advanced a
proposal for a 10-year
bonding plan with a debt
schedule of $54 million
for a new high school, $24
million for a new Central
and $10 million for a ren-
ovated Sterling for a total
of $104 million.
But the site was also a
former dump, where the
Fore River Shipyard got
rid of its waste, some of
it toxic, in the 1940s and
1950s and the protests
grew so loud they reached
the office of Mayor James
Sheets.
Reluctantly, Sheets
ruled the site out, although
he still thought it would
be safe for the students af-
ter it was cleaned up and
capped and he expressed
concern that the 90 per
cent reimbursement would
be jeopardized if the site
were changed.
The move threw the
siting of the new school
open once again.
Some suggested the
DPW complex at 55 Sea
St. but most went for Fax-
on Field, a marshy area
between the old Quincy
High School and South-
em Artery, which was
called by consultant firm
of Camp, Dresser, McKee
the "least environmentally
damaging" site.
The new school went
on a yoyo from there.
The City Council ap-
proved a $110 million
bond to build on Faxon
Field, concern was ex-
pressed for the 90 per cent
reimbursement. A trio of
officers, led by Sen. Mi-
chael Morrissey, doubted
whether the school should
be built at all.
The state temporarily
called a halt to all reim-
bursements in February,
BRAND NEW Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics Academy at Quincy High School, viewed here fro the Huntley
Road side, will be the first completed building in the complex to be occupied by students when they return from their midwinter
vacation in February 2009.

2003, then relented and
put Quincy on the "most
urgently needed projects"
list. But there were 300
projects ahead of Quincy
on the list for reimburse-
ment.
But through it all the
city plunged ahead.
The design was changed
to avoid the Faxon Field
wetlands. Tishman Con-
struction of Boston was
chosen project manager.
Symmes, Maini, McKee
was picked to design the
building.
The new design was
unveiled in Febmary,
2005 , and the State School
Building Authority imme-
diately mled it a substan-
tial change and thus in-
eligible for the 90 percent
reimbursement.
Ground was finally
broken in June, 2007, but
even that happy day had
to be postponed because
of a four-day strike of 900
members of the Quincy
Education Association.
The cost had now risen
to $90.9 million and the
school was now a three-
building complex.
The first of the three
buildings was scheduled
to be finished in February,
2009, and, if everything
goes according to plan,
the first classes will be
held on Feb. 23.

QUINCY'S TIM CAHILL is sworn in as State Treasurer by Governor Mitt Romney.

Cahill Elected Treasurer,
Seen Candidate For Governor
Will history repeat it-
self?
The pundits were asking
the question again as the 2 1 "
century dawned and Tim
Cahill, once a Quincy city
councillor at the age of 29,
had moved into position as
state treasurer to challenge a
sitting governor of his own
party.
The last Quincy resident
to hold statewide office was
Frank Bellotti, whose im-
patience after one term as
lieutenant governor led him
to run against and defeat
Democratic Gov. Endicott
Peabody in 1964 only to
lose himself to Republican
John Volpe.
The intraparty dissension
was so strong that it took a
long time for Bellotti to re-
vive his political career. He
ran for attorney general and
lost in 1966 and for gover-
nor and lost in 1970 before
finally winning three terms
as attorney general ending
in 1981.
In The Sun's amiiversary
year of 2008, speculation
was growing that Cahill,
who would be almost 52 at
the crucial time, might be
willing to risk it all and take
on sitting Gov. Deval Pat-
rick in the 2010 Democratic
primary.
Cahill was never one to
pass up a challenge.
He was no sooner out of
Boston University with a
degree in political science
than he was founding his
own business, the restaurant
Handshakes, with partners
Ed Graham and Joe Irvine
and running for the City
Council (He lost).
He had written a book on
entrepreneurs, "Profiles in
the American Dream," when
he got his second chance,
winning an at large seat on
the Council in 1987 and tak-
ing on the added chores of
Norfolk County treasurer in
1997.
He was well-established
in that post in 2002 when he
decided to take the chance
and run for state treasurer,
an open seat that attracted
three strong opponents in
the Democratic primary
alone.
The was James Segel of
Needham, endorsed by some
of the strongest political
voices in the state; Stephen
Murphy, the well-positioned
Boston City Councillor; and
Michael Cahill, the state rep
from Beverly with the name
guaranteed to cause confu-
sion.
It was Cahill's daughter,
10-year-old Kendra, who
devised the slogan, "Tim
for Treasurer," that neutral-
ized the other Cahill and her
father went on to win the
primary in an upset and go
on to defeat the Republican,
Daniel Grabauskas, in the
final.
Most agreed that Cahill
had compiled a solid re-
cord as treasurer, creating
the Mass School Building
Authority and increasing by
more than 50 percent the as-
sets of the Pension Reserves
Investment Trust Fund.
And he hasn't hesitated
to take on a popular Demo-
cratic governor when he dis-
agrees with his fiscal poli-
cies. After all, no one ever
accused Tim Cahill of un-
willingness to take a risk.

People Knew
They Could Trust
Paul Harold
Reflections Of Two Sun Newscarriers
Rev. John Swanson Patrick McDermott
By TOM HENSHAW
"Since high school, I
knew that my career would
be in law and politics ..."
Thus Paul Harold be-
gan his memoirs that were
still unfinished when death
from stomach cancer caught
up with the veteran Quincy
politician in the early morn-
ing hours of Aug. 12, 2002,
at the untimely age of 53.
Politics had been his
life for more than 30 years,
starting as an intern in
the Washington office of
Congressman James Burke,
through the City Council,
the State Senate and, fi-
nally, as County Register of
Deeds.
He traveled around the
world, sewing the seeds
of democracy for the U. S.
Information Agency but al-
ways he returned to the city
he loved.
"Paul had the unique
ability to be able to see right
from wrong and the courage
to stand up and speak out on
what he believed in whether
it was popular at the time or
not," said Mayor William
Phelan. "People knew they
could trust Paul to do the
right thing."
Harold was one of the
little folks himself, growing
up on Adams Shore. He was
a Patriot Ledger carrier boy,
a tour guide at the Adams'
Birthplaces, a dishwasher at
Howard Johnson's, a bundle
boy at Star Market and a
clam digger on the flats of
Houghs Neck.
He ran for state rep in
1971 and lost. He ran for the
City Council in 1973 and
lost. He ran for the Council
again in 1975, knocking on
5,000 doors and shaking
15,000 hands, and this time
he won. He ran for reelec-
tion in 1977 and won with
the largest vote count ever
for the City Council .
A year later, Harold took
on the reigning Quincy po-
PAUL HAROLD
litical power of the day.
State Senator Arthur Tobin,
and scored a stunning vic-
tory.
He served 14 years in
the State Senate, finding
time to travel the world for
the Information Agency,
act as visiting professor
of American Studies at
the University College in
Cork, Ireland; and host for
the State Department such
visitors as Queen Noor of
Jordan and Prince Bandar of
Saudi Arabia.
He left the Senate in 1992
to run for the U. S. Congress
only to be stymied when re-
districting snatched away his
strongest precincts, leaving
him in a strange district with
the veteran Congressman
Gerry Studds. He lost.
Not to be denied, he
started over at the bottom
again, wirming a seat on the
City Council in 1997 and as
Register of Deeds in 2000.
He was midway into his first
term when he died.
In the midst of his first
victorious run for the City
Council, Harold managed to
attend 10 games of the team
he sponsored in the Quincy
Youth Hockey League.
"Paul was the only guy I
know who sponsored teams
and also came to see them
play," said Mike Linnane,
his longtime friend. "The
kids got all excited. It meant
a lot to them. It was typical
Paul, to be there for the little
guys."

By REV. JOHN
SWANSON
It is relatively rare for
Protestant ministers to find
themselves pastoring in their
hometown. A long chain
of events resulted in my
being called as the eighth
settled minister of Union
Congregational Church in
1 993 . In the 1 1 3 year history
of the church there has only
been eight ministers and
none but myself were from
the South Shore, let alone
Quincy.
One of the delights of
being "back home" was
my becoming reacquainted
with The Quincy Sun and its
wonderful publisher, Henry
Bosworth, an acquaintance
that began back in the sum-
mer of 1969, following "Joe
Brett's Baseball Day." State
Representative Brett had a
tradition of taking neighbor-
hood kids to Fenway Park.
It's interesting for me to re-
flect that Joe Brett's Baseball
Day, The Quincy Sun and
Union Congregational
Church all came together
for me on a long ago August
day.
1 grew up as the only
Protestant kid in West
Quincy, or so it seemed.
(Recently Mike Bellotti
teased me by adding the
only Republican as well!)
On that summer day in
1969, 1 showed up at the
old Willard School, where
I'd be in sixth grade that fall
and, with my friend, Jimmy
Nimmerskem, boarded
the school bus for Fenway
Park.
1 remember the bus trip
took forever as we had stops
at the old Gridley Bryant
and, as it was known, the
Furnace Brook School -
where the smart kids like
recendy retired Navy
Commander David Ray,
formeriy of Lyons Street,
and my sister Patty, now of
Hingham-were invited to at-
tend. 1 wasn't.
After stopping at the
Furnace Brook, now
Bemazzani School , we
drove to Wollaston where
we parked in front of a
big old granite church, to
pick up kids from the old
Massachusetts Field School.
Who could have guessed,
definitely not 11 -year old
me, that 23 years later, I'd
be Pastor of that same old
church!
After leaving Rawson
Road, we went straight to
Fenway, where we watched
the Kansas City Royals de-
feat the Red Sox.
Now for The Quincy Sun
connection. On arriving
home, 30 complimentary
copies of The Quincy Sun
sat on the dining room table
of my house at 25 Lyons St.
I had called The Sun a week
before and had been accept-
ed as a Quincy Sun Paper
Rev. JOHN SWANSON
Pastor, Union
Congregational Church
Boy. Delivering The Sun
was to be my first job. 1 had
asked for 50 copies, which
Mr. Bosworth had felt was
way too ambitious, so he
had given 30 copies to my
sister, who had picked them
up for me while I was at the
game.
Quincy Sun Paper Boys,
in those days, "built" their
own routes. The paper was
so new there were as yet no
routes to pass on. 1 wasn't
able to get subscriptions for
the full 30, but 1 was able
to build a fairly respectable
route of 20 or so custom-
ers. Of course, two of them
were my Mom and Dad,
Carl and Louise Swanson,
one my sister Carol and
two (originally three) my
fourth grade teacher David
Ezickson, who bought
them for the old southwest
Quincy Community Center
at Brewers Comer.
A common joke leveled
at clergy, regardless of their
denomination, is that we
only work one morning a
week. Whenever someone
teases me about the "one
hour work week," 1 always
look at them deadpan and
say, "Yeah, but boy does that
hour come up quick!" Well,
The Quincy Sun only comes
out once a week but to an
11 -year old boy, it always
seemed to come up quick.
1 was always surprised
to see that bundle of pa-
pers sitting on the porch
on Wednesday afternoon.
"Hadn't I just delivered
them?" I'd often moan to
myself. Truth was that was
often the case. 1 guess 1
never grasped the concept
of Mr. Bosworth 's "weekly
paper" or, rather, it was dif-
ferent than my 11 -year old
concept. "If The Quincy
Sun comes out once a
week, doesn't that mean
people have a whole week
to read it?" 1 reasoned. And
where the masthead says
Thursday and 1 have them
on Wednesday, this obvi-
ously means the day they
are delivered is not of great
importance. So, on more
than one occasion. The Sun
was delivered on other days
aside from Thursday. One
of my customers on West
Street didn't understand this
logic and, as a result, I got a
call from Mr. Bosworth.
Went through the tradi-

1 remember approaching
my parents in 1979 at the
age of nine after coming to
the realization that "money
does not (in fact) grown on
trees", a phrase often heard
in the McDermott household
while I was growing up.
Having been raised by
parents bom and raised
within the years of the Great
Depression, I was taught
the values of hard work and
self-determination in order
to succeed in life. So I gave
them a proposal 1 heard from
another kid in the neighbor-
hood...I heard 1 could get
my first job as a Quincy Sun
Paperboy.
Mr. Bosworth was (and
still is) a towering figure to
me when I first came into
the office in the fall of '79.
"Hey kid... so I hear you
want a route" or something
like that was said.
Luckily for me, my
friend in the neighborhood
was graduating to a bigger
route with the Ledger, and
since 1 had done the route
with him a few times, 1 was
his pick to take over. After a
thorough interview with Mr.
Bosworth explaining to me
the responsibilities of a news
carrier, I heard those magic
words - "You're hired".
Henry had that phrase down
well before Donald Tmmp.
I was in business. 1 had
about 15 customers at first
with a route that spanned
about 5 blocks from my
house on Taylor Street over
to Pine Street. Over the
years 1 doubled my cus-
tomer base to about 30. The
Feeney's, the McCarthy's,
the Goodrich's, the McFar-
land's, the McDonald's, the
Ciccerone's, the Kiley's...
all great long-time Wollas-
ton families. It was a great
mix.
Mom and Dad made sure
I got out as soon as the pa-
pers arrived, reminding me
that good customer service
would be re warded... and it
was. I felt like the richest kid
in the neighborhood. I aver-
aged a good $5-8 a week in
tips and always had my own
pocket money when visit-
ing Andre's on Brook Street
or Daceys on Beale Street
and especially when the
ice cream truck cheerfully
roamed through the neigh-
borhood or a new toy hit the
shelves at Child World.
My fondest memory was
PATRICK McDERMOTT
Register Of Probate
with a wonderfully charm-
ing old lady on Pine Street.
1 wish 1 could remember
her name. She lived there
with her daughter and was
my last stop on the route. It ^
was a good hit. She always
invited me in for a snack
and some conversation. She
was interested in how I was
doing at school and what 1
wanted to be when 1 grew
up... politics was not on my
radar then.
At the time, 1 was a stu-
dent at the Boston Archdi-
ocesan Choir School at Saint
Paul's in Cambridge, where
afternoon rehearsals some-
times caused me to be late
in getting the paper out. My
Pine Street customer never
seemed to complain... and
I made it up to her by sing-
ing one or two of our lat-
est tunes we were learning
at school. "Tell me Why"
was her favorite. She was
my best tipper... usually $1
/week (for a paper that was
$.10 at the time) and $5 at
Christmas.
Who would have known
that several years later I'd
be knocking those same
customers" doors asking for
their vote to be city coun-
cillor? And frequently uti-
lizing my vocal chords on
the campaign trail or at the
annual Salute to Saint Pat-
rick's Day.
1 too "graduated" from
my route with the Quincy
Sun and took up the Ledger
then the Globe. But those
early lessons of good cus-
tomer service and treating
people with kindness gave
me a great foundation to
build upon.
As 1 reach my own
milestone of 40 next year.
I reflect fondly on my years
with the Quincy Sun... as a
paperboy and as my fam-
ily's life-story unfolds with
elections, graduations, ac-
complishments, weddings,
births, etc. 1 look forward to
the next forty with nothing
but the best of wishes.

tional mom before it reached
the traditional 11 -year old.
This resulted in the end of
"open delivery" for my pa-
per route.
Billing was another is-
sue. The paper was 10 cents
a copy, and most gave you a
quarter, and occasionally 50
cents. The Sun paid us four
cents per copy. This meant,
on average, a Quincy Sun
paperboy made 1 9 cents per
copy. My route averaged
around 20 customers, which
meant an average weekly
amount of $3.80 for me and
$1.20 for 77i^5m/i.
One lesson I learned
as a paper boy, which was
later reinforced by my fa-
ther, Carl, who, for a while
worked with me when
1 tried my hand at busi-
ness ("Jackie: Jack of All
Trades. Swedish Quality
Workmanship at Scotsman
Prices" A Handyman's
Service advertised in The
Sun 1976/77) was to never
mix money. I developed a
nasty habit of not setting
aside the $ 1 .20 for The Sun
and spending the whole $5.
This of course also resulted
in a phone call from Mr.
Bosworth. I can still remem-
ber Henry's gentle way with
youth. "John, if you don't
pay your bill you'll go to
jail-
Eventually I did pay my
bill "(I think) and deliveries
were made on Thursdays
(okay, maybe an occasional
Friday). I kept the route for
three years, eventually giv-
ing it to the Sun's first pa-
pergirl, Lillian Callahan of
Hopedale Street, who was
much better at it then I ever
was. Lilly really built the
route and kept it going for
several years, well into ju-
nior high.
Reflecting on my Sun
paperboy days, I have to
ask Henry, "Are you really
surprised my church press
releases are so often late?"
Wishing The Sun and The
Sun family the best on this
wonderful milestone.

Koch Firm In Opposition
City Being Sued By
W.Q. Billboard Owner
The owner of a contro-
versial 80-foot-high bill-
board in West Quincy has
filed a lawsuit against the
city blaming Mayor Thomas
Koch for a 2toning Board of
Appeals decision declaring
the sign illegal.
1^ suit, filed in Land
Court, claims that the mayor
"used his influence" to be-
gin a process to have the
billboard removed, leading
to a cease-and-desist order
by the city's chief building
inspector and ultimately the
Zoning Board ruling uphold-
ing that decision last month.
"My opinion that this bill-
board is a blight and never
should have been approved
last year is no secret," Koch
said. "I expect the members
of all our regulatory boards
to ujrfidd the law regardless
of tl^ specific case. The City
is prepared to stand fully be-
hind the Zoning Board's de-
cision of last month."
The city began to scru-
tinize the billboard earlier
this year following its 2007
approval, leading a decision
by Director of Inspectional
Services Jay Duca that it did
not meet the city's build-
ing code. City Councillors
held a public hearing on the
sign in which more than 100
neighbors protested the bill-
board and the process that
led to its original approval.
A number of neighbors
and abutters to the prop-
erty owned by the Biondi's
Service Station in West
Quincy claimed they were
never informed about the
project, and as a result were
not allowed to register their
objections last year.
The Tjomng Board upheld
the cease-and-desist order,
and the city has also filed
a separate lawsuit claiming
the Massachusetts Outdoor
Advertising Board ignored
several guidelines when it
issued a permit last year.
In its lawsuit, the bill-
board company, Boston
Outdoor Ventures LLC,
claims that neighbors to the
property enlisted Koch's
help to fight the billboard
and that "the mayor used his
influence toward that end."
It also contends that Koch
communicated direcdy with
board members and told
them the results he wanted
and that board members
deliberated the project out-
side of the public hearing.
Officials denied both allega-
tions.

88 To 90 Percent Forecast
Biggest Voter T\irnout
Expected Here Since
Kennedy-Nixon
BY HENRY BOSWORTH
The biggest voter turnout
since the John Kennedy-
Richard Nixon presidential
battle 48 years ago is expect-
ed here for next Tuesday's
election.
City Clerk Joseph Shea
sees the final showdown be-
tween the Republican John
McCain-Sarah Palin and
Demacurat Barack Obama-
Joseph Biden tickets bring-
ing out 88 to 90 percent of
Quincy's 56357 registered
voters-the city's highest in
history.
Of the 56,357, 2390 are
new voters since August.
The Kennedy-Nixon
turnout in 1960 was 93 per-
cent. Four years ago only
69 percent cast ballots in
the George Bush and John
Kerry election.
September state primary
attracted only a 13.36 per-
cent turnout.
Next Tues#y's election
is an historic one which
will give the country either
its first black president in
Senator Obama or its first
woman vice president in
Palin, Alaska's governor.
As the race comes down
the homestretch latest polls
indicate Obama is lead-
ing but McCain still with
a chance to win the White
House.
Some even think it could
wind up as close as the
Kennedy-Nixon election.
There are four other can-
didates for president, in-
cluding consumer advocate
Ralph Nader who is running
as an Independent. He is on
the ballot in 45 states and
the District of Columbia.
What effect he could
have on either Obama or
McCain is a question that
will only be answered on
Election Day. But in 2000,
Democrats blamed him for
Al Gore's loss to George W.
Bush.
The other three candi-
dates are Chuck Baldwin,
Constitution party; Robert
Barr, Libertarian and
Cynthia McKinney, Green-
Rainbow.
Shea is basing his heavy
vote forecast on a number of
factors:
Some 2,000 absentee bal-
lots already returned to the
Election Department. Prior
high was 1 ,450 in 2004. The
number of new voters. And
the heated campaigns waged
by Obama and McCain and
their running mates.
"And, of course the eco-
nomic crisis is a big issue
affecting almost everyone,"
Shea notes. "Interest in the
election is taking off. The
voters are energized and 1
don't think many will be
staying home this election
day."
There are also three ref-
erendum questions on the
ballot, which are expected
to help boost voter turnout.
(Question 1) State
Personal Income Tax:
A Yes Vote would reduce
the state personal income
tax to 2.65 percent begin-
ning Jan. 1 , 2009 and elimi-
nate the tax on or after Jan.
1,2010.
A No Vote would make
no change in state income
tax laws.
(Question 2) Possession
of Marijuana:
A Yes Vote would re-
place the criminal penalties
for possession of one ounce
or less of marijuana with a
new system of penalties.
A No Vote would make
no change in state criminal
laws concerning possession
of marijuana.
(Question 3) Dog
Racing:
A Yes Vote would pro-
hibit dog races on which
betting or wagering occurs
effective Jan. 1,2010.
A No Vote would make
no change in the laws gov-
erning dog racing.
Note: Questions 1 and 2
are on the front of the bal-
lot and Question 3 is on the
back.

DPW Sets Up Hotline
For Graffiti Reports
The public must act as
the "eyes and ears" of the
city in the constant struggle
against graffiti, according
to Public Works Commis-
sioner Larry Prendeville
who has set up a telephone
hotline for citizen reports to
his office.
"The reality is we can
use all the help we can get,"
Prendeville said in a report
on graffiti to City Council
last week.
Residents may call 617-
376-1359 and leave infor-

City Councillors, meet-
ing as the Ordinance Coni-
mittee, voted 6-3 Monday to
drop one sentence from the
zoning code in a decision
that supports increased den-
sity in Business C zones.
The committee's vote
must be relayed today to
Land Court Judge Gordon
Piper as he considers a con-
troversial case on property
abutting Marina Bay.
. The City Council must
formally approve the change
at a future council meeting.
The 11 -word change in
the city's zoning bylaws will
increase the number of units
allowed on large parcels in
Business C zones.
Several of those parcels
are located in WoUaston,
Quincy Center, West Quin-
cy, and North Quincy.
As an example, the
change would allow the
O'Connell Company to de-
velop an 80-unit apartment
complex at 260 Victory Rd.,
North Quincy rather than
the 25-unit development
allowed under a strict inter-
pretation of the bylaw.
Marina Bay residents
have been fighting in court
to halt the project.
The proposed develop-
ment will be tucked between
Marina Bay and the 223-unit
senior complex. The Moor-
ings at Squantum.
Michael McFarland,
Councillor at large, pro-
posed the zoning change
last December and has sup-
ported the issue at three pre-
vious meetings.
McFarland described in-
creased density as part of
the city's promotion of the
Smart Growth concept.
Under 'Smart Growth,'
cities and towns support
dense development near
business areas and transpor-
tation, such as T stations in
North Quincy and WoUas-
ton.
Both McFarland and City
Solicits Jim Tinunins sug-
gested that the single short
sentence in the zoning code
was an oversight in the zon-
ing code that needed to be
clarified.
However, Ward 6 Coun-
cillor McNamee stated later
that Arthur Chandler had
deliberately inserted the
working to protect against
high-density projects.
In a letter to the commit-
tee, Edmund Allcock urged
councillors not to vote Mon-
day as the issue is still under
consideration in Land Court.
Allcock represents the Ma-
rina Bay residents.
Ward 6 Councillor Brian
McNamee also asked coun-
cillors to delay a vote, stat-
ing the nearly 300 families
of Marina Bay should be al-
lowed due process.
"They do not want high
density," McNamee said,
adding Marina Bay is beau-
tifully developed now and
heavy development could
ruin the area.
McNamee, also, noted
that residents had taken their
"litigation up to the Supreme
Court," spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars and de-
served their day in court.
The change will, also,
allow increased density on
Newport Avenue and West
Squantum Street, North
Quincy, Adams Street,
Quincy Center, ais well as a
parcel in West Quincy.
Ward 2 Councillor Dan-
iel Raymondi describe4|; a
dense developitient proposal
that residents opposed in his
district and then contrasted
the drastic contrast between
25 units and 80 units on tne
parcel. :. ;■- %:
"We're not talfihgatf in-
significant difference." |tay-
mondi said, warning that
developers could "crowd as
many units as possible."
Raymondi, also, read
passages from court papers
on the issue, indicating that
Judge Piper could rule in fa-
vor of the Marina residents.
That could change as
Timmins told the committee
that Judge Piper had asked
for a full report of the Ordi-
nance Conmiittee's meeting
within 48 hours.
Councillors had previ-
ously postponed action on
MacFarland's motion until
Oct.24 in order not to influ-
ence a court decision.
Ward 5 Councillor Doug-
las Gutro opposed the mo-
tion, citing a large parcel on
Adams Street that could be
densely developed.
Other parcels are in
Councillor Kevin Cough-
lin's Ward 3 in North
Quincy. After the meeting,
Coughlin said the Newport
Avenue sife in Wollaston
needs to be developed and
improved
The change reduces the
land requirement for apart-
ment units allowed in Busi-
ness C zones on parcels
that are 42,000 square feet
or larger from 2,500 square
feet to 325 square feet.

Raymondi Ordinance Backed
City Council Votes
Ban On Sale Of
Knives To Minors
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Long and sharp knives
were passed about Monday
as city councillors consid-
ered an ordinance to ban the
sale of knives to minors.
Councillors eyed the real
weapons taken from chil-
dren as young as nine .as they
considered the ordinance
submitted by Ward 2 coun-
cillor Daniel Raymondi.
After testimony and a
short discussion, council-
lors unanimously passed the
ordinance, possibly the first
in Eastern Massachusetts,
banning the sale or giving of
knives to persons under 18.
Councillors must now
approve the ban in a formal
City Council session.
Raymondi said he pro-
posed the ban after hear-
ing from Richard Turbin,
a coach and resident of
Martinson Street.
Turbin told Raymondi
that his 13-year-old son
"was able to go into a re-
tailer in the city and buy the
knife.
"Young folks should not
be carrying these kinds of
knives," said Raymondi,
adding that he received
support on the issue from
Norfolk District Attorney
William Keating.
Turbin, Scoutmaster
John Monahan, and
Community Police Officer
Jim Dentrement testified in
favor of Raymondi 's pro-
posed ordinance.
"I need your help on this ,"
said Turbin who described
knives for sale at a retailer,
"right on the counter~a soda
a bag of chips and a knife."
"There are too many
knives out there that
young people carry," said
Dentremont, a police officer
for 10 years, who urged the
councillors to be pro-active
in protecting youth.
"Small kids walk up and
purchase something like
this," Monahan said as he
handed councillors a steel
weapon bought by a nine-
year-old.

Davis asked how the ban
would affect the legitimate
use of knives such as for
fishing with family mem-
bers or scouting.
City Solicitor James
Timmins assured council-
lors that police would have
discretion as the ordinance
was written, "They won't be
up at Neponset River after
kids fishing."
Councillor John Keenan
said he was supporting the
ordinance to "protect a good
kid from doing something
foolish and making a stupid
mistake."
Keenan added that the
ordinance will not stop a
bad kid from getting a knife,
but should help protect good
kids.
Ward 6 Councillor Brian
McNamee noted that the is-
sue is, also, one of parental
oversight, knowing what the
children are doing and what
is in their knapsacks.
KIDS' KNIVES. Rkhard IXirbin (left) and Scoutmaster John Monahan hold knives sold to
youngsters in retail stores in Quincy. Turbin 's 13-year-old son bought the knife and Monahan
said a nine-year-old purchased the knife he holds. The Ordinance Committee Monday unani-
mously approved a ban on the sale of knives to youngsters under 18 years old.

Presidential Pot-Shots
OBAMA
McCAIN
There's been a lot of harsh words-some nasty-
hurled back and forth 'in this year's campaign for
president.
Most people are tired of all the rhetoric, attack ads,
the promises and, pardon me, the side dishes of politi-
cal baloney.
Let's get it over with.
If you believe most of the polls, it will be Barack
Obama moving into
the White House,
the first black oc-
cupant.
But John McCa-
in's diehards cling
to the belief the
polls don't have it
right. That the real
poll will be the one on Election Day.
Some voters are dissatisfied with both sides. Maybe
there will be some Hilary Clinton or Joe the Plumber
write-ins.
Anyway, come next TXiesday it will be all over and
hopefully we've picked the right man.
And maybe McCain and Obama might then sit
down together and pass the peace pipe. We don't need
any more political warfare. We need some non-parti-
san unity.
But whoever wins will still have political flak to
face at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. There's always insults
waiting there.
Whoever gets the keys to the White House soon dis-
covers that being president doesn't make you immune
to insults-even nasty ones.
Some of our greatest presidents-as well as some
of the not so great-have been targets of insults down
through the years.
Like as we have mentioned before, our own John
Adams and John Quincy Adams. The father was called
"distrustful" and the son, "repulsive." Kind of tame
though compared to others.
Abraham Lincoln was called a "huckster," Richard
Nixon and Lyndon Johnson "liars."
The nastiest one of all could have been Hearst ac-
id-pen Westbrook Pegler's zinger at. Franklin Delano
Roosevelt.
"It is regrettable," he wrote, "that Guiseppe Zan-
gara hit the wrong man when he shot at Roosevelt in
Miami."
And, author-columnist H.L. Menken tossed this
grenade:
"If FDR became convinced that coming out for can-
nibalism would get him votes he so
sorely needs, he would begin fatten-
ing a missionary in the White House
backyard."
Those and other presidential zing-
ers are from the "Book of Insults
and Irreverent Quotations" by Don-
ald Hook and Lothar
Kahn and "The Com-
plete Book of U.S. Presidents" by Wil-
liam DeGregorio.
Here are some more:
About John Adams: "He is dis-
trustful, obstinate, excessively vain
and takes no counsel from anyone."

About Richard Nixon: "Nixon is
a shifty-eye goddamn liar and people
know it. He's one of the few in the
history of this country to run for high
office talking out of both sides of his
mouth at the same time and lying out
of both sides." (Harry Truman)
About Abraham Lincoln: "He
is a huckster in politics, a first rate,
second rate man." (Wendell Phillips,
abolitionist)
About John F.
Kennedy: "I sin-
cerely fear for my
country if Jack Ken-
nedy should be elected president. The
fellow has absolutely no principles.
Money and gall are all the Kennedy's
have." (Republican Senator Barry
Goldwater)
About Gerald Ford: "He's a nice
fellow but he spent too much time
playing football without a helmet."
(Lyndon Johnson)
About Lyndon
Johnson: "He tells
so many lies that he
convinces himself
after awhile he's telling the truth."
(Robert Kennedy)
About Dwight Eisenhower: "I
think that when the
President stops being
president the best job we could give
him in our country would be as direc-
tor of a children's home. He would
not harm children. But as head of a
mighty nation he is more dangerous
and might do a lot of harm." (Nikita
Khrushev, Soviet premier)
About George H.W. Bush: "If ignorance ever goes
to $40 a barrel, I want the drilling
rights to George Bush's head." (Jim
Hightower, Texas Conmiissioner of
Agriculture)
George W. Bush apparently didn't
make the list but there are those who
probably would say that he could
share the one about his father. Or call
it his own.
In the White House it can sometimes be "Hell to
the Chief."

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A1937 postcard showing the first phase of build-
ing St. Ann's Church on Hancock Street in Wollaston.
Like many Catholic churches it started out as just a
basement level and later funds were raised to complete
the structure. When first organized this parish held its
masses in the theater at the old Masonic Temple build-
ing on Beale Street in Wollaston Center. This church
building was completed in 1940. It is constructed of
Weymouth seam-face granite that came from quarries
near the Hingham- Weymouth border. The rust color
comes from mineral deposits that formed along the face
of the granite at its natural cracks or seams. To contact

A *No' On Question 2
I
This Election Day, each
voter will be presented with
several unique opportunities
that will have an immense
impact on the social, eco-
nomic and political future
of our country. We are all
aware of the high stakes of
the presidential election as
well as the various state and
national seats up for grabs.
One issue that should not
require so much intense
thought and deliberation,
however, is ballot Question
2 Question 2 seeks to de-
criminalize the possession
of less than one ounce of
marijuana.
The City of Quincy has
suffered many tragedies due
to substance abuse over the
past few years, and strong
efforts have been made in
the schools, law enforce-
ment and civilian groups
to raise awareness so that
families do not have to en-
dure the devastation trig-
gered by drug abuse that has
already affected so many in
this great city. A 'Yes' vote
on Question 2 would nul-
lify these efforts, and make
a dangerous substance more
readily available on our
streets.
One ounce of marijuana,
when sold, can yield more
than $200 profit for the deal-
er. When the fear of arrest is
removed from the equation,
there will be an increased
availability of a substance
that is more potent than it
was decades ago. Marijuana
is the leading cause of ado-
lescent hospital admissions
for substance abuse in our
state. It makes impossible
the safe operation of a motor
vehicle. Studies show that
the second leading cause of
motor vehicle accidents, be-
hind alcohol, is intoxication
through marijuana usage.
A 'Yes' vote on Question
2 opens the door to increased
drug use amongst the youth
of our conununities. E>rug
dealers will no longer have
to fear the police, and they
will be able to safely carry
one ounce in the open. For
years, government, social,
educational and parental or-
ganizations have striven to
reduce substance abuse in
the youth community. With
one vote on Election Day,
all of these efforts could be
wiped out. A 'Yes' vote on
Question 2 will endanger
our communities, endorse
substance abuse and make
stronger drugs on alarming
reality. On election day, the
only sensible vote on Ques-
tion 2 is 'No'.
For those whose concern
is that young people current-
ly facing arrests for marijua-
na possession are "saddled"
with a "CORl" (Criminal
Offender Record Informa-
tion), perhaps that is the law
that needs to be addressed
Restructuring the depth of
that record could eventually
allow those young offenders
to learn from their mistakes,
regain their good name and
be able to recover their abil-
ities to obtain jobs, school
and housing loans, and be-
come members of society
who are no longer marked
forever by their youthful
transgressions.
Perhaps we as parents
need to educate our children
quickly about the changes
proposed by Question 2 and
also about the heartaches of
a CORl. Let's insist that they
research it themselves and
then discuss it with them.
Maybe then, young people
would understand that pass-
ing Question 2 would not
protect their health and well
being. In addition, under-
standing how a CORl can
affect the rest of their lives
would help our children
learn other problems that
marijuana use and abuse can
create.

Prevent Crimes Before They Happen
Crime is a national issue
that affects everyone regard-
less of social status, race,
sex , or location of residence .
Unfortunately, it seems as if
there is no definite solution
to crime; but there are ways
to fight it and mitigate it.
Lx)oking at the statistics
from 2006, there have been
2,190 crimes in Quincy per
100,000 people, and 5,801
crimes in Boston (also per
100,000 people.) Boston
and Quincy are both busy
cities, and Quincy proudly
has less than half the crime
rate of Boston. This statis-
tic is a testament to police
officers and community
workers who have worked
to diminish crime and have
educated the youth on ways
to avoid it.
Urges No Vote On Questfon 1
Opinion Page 22-23
The City of Quincy has
been successfiil in alleviat-
ing the crime rate, but there
are still improvements to
be made. Larceny and bur-
glary top the list of crimes in
Quincy, but these problems
caimot be solved with law
enforcement alone. These
offenses are a result of un-
derlying causes in the city
that supply the offenders
with motivations to break
the law.
Law enforcement cer-
tainly helps in cutting down
crime, but a change in cul-
ture is the most effective
long-term approach. Rather
than reacting to incidents
that have happened, we as a
conmiunity should be work-
ing to prevent them before
they happen.
There are obviously
causes and reasons for these
crimes; addressing them and
eliminating them may be the
best solution to weaken the
impact crime has in our dai-
ly lives.

GOP Leaders Given
Rousing Welcome At Rally
By FRANK McCAULEY
Quincy Republicans turned out en masse and gave a
rousing welcome to Governor Alvin Fuller, Senator But-
ler and other prominent speakers at the big rally at Quincy
High School Hall, which followed ^^^^^^^^^^
a banquet, and reception at the Elks
Grill.
The distinguished guests were
greeted with cheer after cheer and a
sea of waving flags as they marched
down the aisle of the school audito-
rium to take their seats in the platform, the Maple Leaf Fife
and Drum Corps playing a stirring selection all the while.
It was by far the largest attended rally held in this city for
a long time. Gov. Fuller, a candidate for re-election as gov-
ernor, addressed the large throng, telling his audience of his
accomplishments during the two years that he had served
the Conmion wealth as governor.
Lt. Governor Frank G. Allen also addressed the crowd.

A big banquet, addresses by prominent officials, music

Quincy High School cu-
linary arts students and their
teacher, Chef Patrick Noe,
recently visited the Quincy
Farmers' Market in Quincy
Center.
Noe walked with his

the market to meet and greet
the growers who serve the
and area customers. The
market operates at the John

produce with the actual
grower who grew the fruits
and vegetables at the mar-
ket. Many of the students
have never seen an active
live beehive. The Golden
Rule Beekeeper sets up
his see true bee hive at the
weekly market for people to
observe the bee activity. The
Golden Rule bee keeper's
bees pollinate the Stillman
Farm's apple orchard.
The students understood
after visiting the Quincy
Farmers' Market the con-
nection with the bees and
the apple production, not
only from reading, but by
visual observation.
Noe understands the val-
ue of food miles and teaches
his students these concepts.
"1 try to instill into my
students to eat in season lo-
cally grown fruits and veg-
etables as much as possible.
There are numerous benefits
of such eating habit," Noe
continued. "The more we
reduce the food miles, the
lesser of the carbon foot
print we leave behind.
"In checking the Food
Odometer, In the U.S. the
average grocery store's pro-
duce travels nearly 1,500
miles between the farm and
the home refrigerator. A
tremendous amount of fos-
sil fuel is used to transport
such long distances, releas-
ing carbon dioxide, sulfur
dioxide, particulate matter
and other pollutants into the
atmosphere," Noe added.
Noe and his students will
also check out the Glouces-
ter Farmers' Market, where
at one of their events, chefs
are given $25 dollars to
shops for 15 minutes at the
market and then prepare a
dish/s from the produce they
had just purchased.
It is perhaps intended to
simulate the Iron Chef con-
cept; fun and innovative lo-
cal idea, and a treniendous
awareness builder, as most
of us appreciate the hard
work of the chefs performs.

WHILE THE WEAl H£K was too wild for the Images of Honor and Memory display at the
QMC cancer Walk on Sept. 28, the Walk was a huge success nonetheless, attracting more than
a thousand walkers and raising more than $200,000 for cancer screening, education and treat-

from 2 to 4 p jn. Some of the images on display are shown here and below. Photo of the Bank oi

honors cancer survivors and

have lost their lives to the
disease.
Unfortunately, inclement
weather prevented the dis-

Sept. 28. Instead they will
be displayed today (Thurs-

Images of Honor and

the community. Last year,
more than 500 Images of
Honor and Memory con-

Gutro Ordinance To Give
Seniors Broader Abatements
Health Forum Sunday At Crane Library
BY LAURA GRIFTIN
More seniors will be get-
ting a break on their water,
sewer and tax bills, under an
ordinance proposed by Ward
5 Councillor Douglas Gutro
and unanimously approved
Monday by the Ordinance
Committee.
Once the new limits
are formally approved at a
City Council session, the
rules will be publicized
through leaflets and on the
net, according to Marion
Fantucchio, Chief Assessor
who spoke at Monday's
Committee meeting.
Gutro said that expanded
limits on income should en-
courage more seniors to ap-
ply for the abatements. The
cost of the program is totally
reimbursed by the state.
"Hundreds and hundreds
of seniors" in Quincy are el-
igible for the breaks on their
municipal bills but have not
applied, according to Gutro
who said Monday that only
170 households applied for
the abatements.
The city has an 834
household limit for total
state reimbursement.
Gutro noted that the
country's financial crisis is
dangerously hurting seniors
dependent on pensions,
DOUG GUTRO
Social Security and 40 IK
investments.
These are the people
who can really use the
$600 break, according to
Gutro who urged council-
lors to pass the revision of
the city's abatement code in
order to meet the fiscal year
2010 deadline.
'The changes must be
approved before we set the
tax rate," Gutro said, add-
ing that, once they are ap-
proved, "Seniors can apply
in January."
Fantucchio said Monday
that the city has not in-
creased its income limits
since the first abatement
program was adopted. "Our
limitations have not gone up
accordingly,"
Actually, the value of
most seniors' net income
has declined over the years,
said Fantucchio.
Councillor Michael
McFarland asked whether
state could eliminate the re-
imbursements as legislators
face major financial crises
this year.
Fantucchio said it was
possible, but very unlikely,
as a change in the reimburse-
ments under 4 1 C would af-
fect all cities and towns in
the state.
A free National Issues
Forum with the topic
"Coping wit the Cost of
Health Care: How Do We
Pay for What We Need?"
will be held at 2:30 p.m.
Sunday at the Thomas
Crane Public Library, 40

Salvation Army Needs Volunteers For Kettles
The Salvation Army in
Quincy needs volunteers
to help man the collection
kettles during the Christmas
season.
The kettles will be at
various locations starting
Monday Nov. 17 through
Wednesday, Dec. 24.
Major Douglas Jones',
co-commander with his
wife, Major Linda Jones, of
the Salvation Army Quincy
Temple Corps, 6 Baxter St.,
said individuals and groups
are needed as volunteers
for a day or part of a day on
whatever time they may be
able to give.
Volunteers standing at
a kettle "may at the same
time, be standing in honor
of a loved one or a friend as
a tribute or remembrance,"
Major Jones noted.
Sought are volunteers
from churches, service
clubs, companies and fami-
lies to help raise fimds to
help others in need as the
Salvation Army has done
in the Quincy area for more
than 100 years.

It takes about 16 people to

century, the Army started
collecting money in soup
kettles following a ship-
wreck in San Francisco.
They were housing and
feeding the survivors when
the soup kettle and their re-
sources ran dry. An inspired
Salvation Army worker took
the empty ketde off the stove
and ran to the street to asked
people to "keep the pot boil-
ing" by making donations to
help the people in need in
their city.
Today, the Army uses the
red kettle on a tripod in 107
countries to collect funds for
people in need. The Quincy
Salvation Army uses the
money to meet local needs
such as emergency food as-
sistance, toys for children
and gifts for shut-ins. Major
Jones said.
"Contact The Salvation
Army in Quincy at 617-
472-2345 if you can join the
other volunteers and groups
who have already signed up
to help," he said. "Please
call right away to be assured
of the date and location you

Nov. 6 Meeting To Work On
Master Plan For Faxon Park
A master plan for an
enhanced Faxon Park may
be finally getting off the
ground.
Ward 2 City Councillor
Daniel Raymondi has set up
a community meeting for
Thursday, Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. in
the Koch Family Recreation
Complex, One Merry mount
Parkway, to lay the ground-
work.
Thanks to Hotel/Motel
Tax funding, the original
Faxon donations of 54.6
acres can be increased in
size to 84.2 acres with the
acquisition of the former
Avalon and Quincy High
School sites.
"We hope to integrate
them so they will look
like part of the park," said
Raymondi .
"Residents have vary-
ing ideas about the park.
We hope to learn what is
acceptable and what is not.
We hope to keep it a family
complex."
Raymondi introduced
a resolution in the City
Council last Jan, 22 calling
on the new administration
of Mayor Tom Koch to de-
velop a master plan for the
park with input from area
DAN RAYMONDI
residents.
"I am pleased to report
that Mayor Koch has re-
sponded in a positive man-
ner,," he said in a letter to
residents, "and the city is
ready to proceed with the
development of a master
plan for this area."
Raymondi said he has
invited Kristen Powers, di-
rector of Park, Forestry &
Cemetery, to the meeting
to help volunteers organize
a Friends of Faxon Park
Committee to work with
city officials on matters that
impact the park.
Also invited are acting
Fire Chief Joseph Barron
to respond to concerns
about fires in the parks and
what has been done about
them, and Police Chief Paul
Keenan to deal with reports
of homeless, teenaged drink-
ing and sexually dangerous
persons in the park.
"I share your concerns
for controlling development
and by working together we
have made great progress
in our community in rezon-
ing acres of buildable areas
abutting Faxon Park to open
space," said Raymondi in
his letter.
"Over the past few
years, 1 have rezoned 15.84
acres (former Quincy High
School) and 13.75 acres
(former Avalon site) to
Open Space. This has added
approximately 30 valuable
Open Space acres to Faxon
Park."
The original Faxon park
consisted of 26.8 acres do-
nated to his city in 1885 by
real estate operator Henry
Hardwick Faxon with three
conditions — it remain
a free public park named
Faxon Park and liquor never
be licensed for sale on the
premises forever.
The elder Faxon's son.
Henry Munroe Faxon, add-
ed 19.8 acres to the gift in
1935 and 8.2 acres more in
1940.

Fontbonne Academy is
Proud of Erin Cain '06
Erin Cain is a junior at Mount Holyoke College majoring in
psychology with a minor in politics. She is a member of the

A Job Well Done
On Thursday, Oct. 16, 2008, at approximately 3 p.m..
Officers James Dentremont, Matt Miller and Declan
Breslin were on bicycle pa-
trol in the area of the Thomas
Crane Public Library dur-
ing the release of Quincy
High School.
While looking for unusual
behavior, they observed a
male hanging out with
a group of high school stu-
dents, smoking a cigarette on
the library lawn. The male
was older than the students
and smoking cigarettes is
prohibited on library prop-
erty, which is posted several
places on the premise. As the officers approached the
male, he glanced at them, quickly turned around and
then began walking to the library with the lit cigarette.
The officers intercepted the male at the entrance to
the library and advised him that smoking was not al-
lowed on the library's property. The officers noted that
the male appeared to be nervous, his skin was pale and
his eyes glossy. The male provided his name and
it came back that he had an active warrant for a parole
violation. During the inventory pat frisk, the suspect
stated he had four hypodermic syringes in his right jack-
et pocket.
As he was taking the syringes out of his pocket, the
suspect pulled out a clear glassine baggie with a brown-
ish substance believed to be heroin, a clear glassine
baggie with a orange colored pill broken in half be-
lieved to be Suboxone, and a silver spoon with a resi-
due of a brownish substance believed to be heroin. The
suspect, a 25-year-old homeless man was placed un-
der arrest for the parole warrant, possession of Class
A (heroin) subsequent offense, and possession of
Class B (suboxone) substance. The suspect was trans-
ported to the police station by Officer Stephen DesRo-
che and booked in the usual manner. The drugs were
tagged and placed in the evidence bin to be tested at the
MA State Drug Lab.
ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE On Thurs-
day, Oct. 16, 2008, at approximately 6 p.m.. Offi-
cers James Dentremont, Thomas Ford, Matt Miller and
Declan Breslin, while assigned to the Community Po-
licing Bicycle Unit conducted a follow up investigation
on Ruggles Street. There was an ongoing dispute be-
tween neighbors in a two family duplex style house.
Numerous neighbor complaints about this residence
had been logged and there was a new concern that there
was a sex offender living in the building. Neighbors stat-
ed that they had noticed someone new in the neighbor-
hood during the past two weeks and he was walking
young children to school.
Officer Stephen DesRoche, who had responded to
many calls at the building, conducted a criminal record
check on the male and determined that the suspect had
warrants in Massachusetts and in other states. There was
a default warrant out of South Boston District Court for
"Assault and Battery" and he was a wanted person
in New Hampshire and Alabama. New Hampshire State
Police stated they would extradite him from Massachu-
setts. The suspect's record also showed that he was
charged with "Failure to Register as a Sex Offender" in
Charlestown in the year 2000.
Detective Cindy Walsh of the Special Investiga-
tive Unit was contacted regarding the suspect and
his failure to register offense. Detective Walsh in-
formed the Officers that the suspect should be charged
with "Failure to Register as a Sex Offender." When the
Officers located the suspect in the building, he initiaWy
gave them a false name, but after extensive question-
ing, he recanted and confirmed his identity. The sus-
pect, a 41 year old male, who now claimed Quincy as
his residence, was placed into custody for "Failure to
Register as a Sex Offender, Fugitive from Justice in
New Hampshire for Forgery and a default warrant out of
South Boston District Court for Assault and Battery."
Nice Work!

(FINANCIAL) SIGN OF THE TIMES On Mon-
day, October 20, 2008, the Quincy Police Department

then get her help at Quincy Medical Center. The caller

Anchor Sails To Final
Station At FR Rotary
ByTOMHENSHAW
After a voyage of some
300 miles and more than
two years in mothballs, the
2,600-pound anchor from
the Quincy-built heavy
cruiser Oes Moines reached
its final station over the
weekend.
The anchor was hoisted
into place in the rotary at
the foot of the Fire River
bridge by heavy equipment
provided by Jay Cashman,
Inc., to serve as a reminder
of Quincy's shipbuilding
heritage.
"Quincy's shipbuilding
history is one of the most
important parts of our city's
heritage," said Mayor Tom
Koch.
"By placing this anchor
in a prominent place at the
gateway to the city, it will
serve as a great permanent
symbol of that heritage and
as a tribute to the thousands
of people who worked at the
shipyard over the years.
"I wish to thank Henry
Bosworth of the Sun and
Michael Condon of the USS
Salem for pursuing the idea
and Jay Cashman for mak-
ing it happen."
Right now, the anchor
is resting on its side in the
middle of the rotary, waiting
to be raised to a standing po-
sition on its cement pedestal ,
painted white and dedicated
in a ceremony sometime in
the future.
The anchor for the USS
Des Moines, sister ship to
the Salem, which was built
in the Fore River Shipyard
in 1948, has a history all its
own.
It was in Philadelphia,
about to be scrapped in
August, 2006, along with
the ship when Mike Condon,
the executive director of the
USS Salem Shipbuilding
Museum, stepped in to claim
it.
The J. A. Mira
Transportation Company
of Wilmington brought it
back the 300 miles from
Philadelphia to Quincy,
where it was stored under
the temporary Fore River
Bridge, about 100 feet from
the rotary.
"Middlesex, which is
building the bridge, baby-
sat it for us for two years,"
said Condon.
It was offered to the city,
free of charge, but the offer
apparently got lost in the
mayoral election contest.
The offer was made again
once the excitement died
down and this time new
Mayor Koch accepted.
'The guys from
Middlesex carried it to the
rotary on a flatbed truck,"
said Condon, "and the guys
from Cashman picked it up
and put it on the cement
base."
And there it sits, a wor-
thy successor to the granite
"gazing" ball that graced
the rotary for some 68 years
before that too was moved
to its rightfiil place on the
Common next to City Hall.
MIDDLESEX workmen ride with 2,600-pound anchor on their flatbed truck during the 100-
foot journey from the Fore River Bridge to its final home in tiie rotary.

Former House Speaker Tom Finneran Keynote Speaker
200 Attend John D. Noonan
Annual Senior Conference
Former Speaker of the
House Tom Finneran shared
words of wisdom and hu-
mor at Quincy's 13"' An-
nual John D. Noonan Senior
Conference held recently at
the Broad Meadows Middle
School.
The conference was at-
tended by 200 of Quincy's
seniors who enjoyed a con-
tinental breakfast, keynote
address and many work-
shops designed to keep the
mind and body healthy as
well as shear enjoyment. In
addition, several students
from Broad Meadows re-
ferred to as "Workerbees"
were, once again, a big part
in making this a special day
for seniors.
This year's confer-
ence marked the first year
in which two outstand-
ing senior volunteers will
be annually honored. The
awards are named in mem-
ory of Frank Keams and
Mary Vallier. Frank was a
longtime board member of
the Quincy Council on Ag-
ing as well as South Shore
Elder Services* and a pio-
neer in providing transpor-
tation for elders and meals
on wheels. Mary was also
a long time member of the
Council on Aging board, a
founding member of DOVE
and served on many boards
and commissions through-
out her life.
This year's recipient for
the Frank Keams award was
Don McCusker of Quincy.
Don has headed up the De-
partment of Elder Services
tax preparation program
for several years. This pro-
gram stretches from early
December through to April
IS"" each year and serves
hundreds of seniors, saving
thousands of dollars.
The Mary Vallier Award
was given to Sally Mc-
Cusker, who has volun-
teered hundreds of hours to
the Quincy Council on Ag-
ing is well known to give
of herself to helping others
without looking for any rec-
ognition.
Both Don and Sally were
chosen by the committee
because of the generous do-
nation of their time and ef-
fort, which benefits others
in return for the satisfaction
only of being able to make a
difference.

Opinion
The Bait And Switch Of Question 1
By NICK PULEO
Times are tough, and
voters will certainly have
the economy on their minds
when they enter the voting
booth and consider ballot
Question 1, a binding ref-
erendum to eliminate the
Conmionwealth's income
tax. While it may sound ap-
pealing. Question 1 would
destroy local services- in-
cluding Quincy's public
schools- and end up costing
taxpayers more in the end.
If the income tax were
eliminated the state would
lose $ 12.7 billion in revenue.
That equals approximately
40 percent of the total state
budget. It is important to
consider the impact of this
ballot question on our com-
munity and on our wallets.
The Commonwealth's
68,000 employees account
for approximately $5.3 bil-
lion in state spending. Even
if all were to face layoffs,
we would only be less than
half way to the cuts that
would be required to imple-
ment the elimination of the
income tax. Such a move
would be devastating to our
economy: 68,000 people is
equal to every resident in
Quincy between the ages of
20 and 74.
Local aid and services
would be on the chopping
block.
If the income tax was
eliminated our schools
would stand to lose 77% of
total state aid. That would
mean general education
funding would be reduced
by $12.9 million, special
education funding would
be reduced by $1.4 million,
school construction and re-
pair would be reduced by
$786,056, and grant funding
would be cut by $410,874.
Overall, the Quincy public
schools budget would face a
14 to 18% reduction.
The results of this loss of
funding would be devastat-
ing, and potentially include:
larger class sizes, elimina-
tion of full-day kindergar-
ten, layoffs, steep fees for
sports, and the elimination
of enrichment activities.
But it is not just kids who
would be hurt. Funds for
Quincy to pay for police,
fire, and other city services
would be reduced by $17.3
million. The Council on
Aging could face a cut of
$125,566. Seniors would
lose benefits from the prop-

erty tax circuit breaker. Pre-
scription Advantage, and
home care services.
Moreover, capital im-
provement projects would
be eliminated altogether
from the state budget for at
least eight years. Capital im-
provements pay for school
building projects, the Fore
River Bridge, and poten-
tial future improvements to
Wollaston Beach and down-
town Quincy.
No one would deny that
eliminating taxes sounds
good on its face. Families
budget are getting tighter
because of the rising prices
of fuel, groceries, college
tuition, and property taxes.
I think this is a time to de-
mand a more efficient gov-
ernment. But the working
families of Quincy stand to
lose far more than they will
gain from this initiative.
According to the Massa-
chusetts Taxpayers Associa-
tion, individuals making un-
der $50,000 per year- who
account for about 65 percent
of the state's taxpayers- pay
about $850 a year in state
income taxes. The Boston
Globe lists Quincy's median
income as $57,621. Those
who will benefit the most
from Question 1 are those
making over $200,000 per
year.
Nine other states do not
have the income tax. Three
of those states- Alaska, Wy-
oming, Nevada- have sub-
stantial streams of revenue
from other sources, such as
oil, minerals and gaming,
respectively. In the six re-
maining states, local taxes
are heavily relied upon to
support government spend-
ing.
New Hampshire is one
of the nine, and is often
used in the arguments made
by Question 1 proponents.
Residents there pay no state
taxes on their payroll earn-
ings; however, government
replaced income tax with a
substantial over-reliance on
local taxes. In fact, that state
relies on local taxes for 47%
of all government revenue.
According to the website
for New Hampshire's De-
partment of Revenue, this
includes a $3.33 per $1000
statewide property tax. This
is an addition of 20 to 30
percent on top of local prop-
erty taxes.
In fact, New Hampshire's
property tax is the highest in
the nation as a share of per-
sonal income.
Following New Hamp-
shire's example would be a
hardship on Quincy's fami-
Ues. Let us look at a fam-
ily earning $50/)00 and liv-
ing in a house iq^raised at
$350,000. By eliminating
the income tax the house-
hold would save about $850.

But in order to provide
funding for essential servic-
es (schools, public safety) a
$3.33 per $1000 statewide
property tax could be im-
posed here in Massachusetts.
This would be an additional
cost of $1,165 .50.
That family would be re-
ceiving fewer services for
$350 more per year. Such a
move would be a disaster for
seniors, many of whom are
on limited incomes and de-
serve to stay in their homes.
It would only further exac-
erbate the foreclosure crisis.

Council Approves Taxi Rate Increase
City councillors unani-
mously approved rate in-
creases for Quincy cab
companies at the Ordinance
Committee meeting Mon-
day after a presentation by
Wayne McCulley, General
Manager of Yellow Cab of
Quincy, Inc.
The rate increase must
now be approved at a formal
City Council meeting.
Before final approval,
councillors will require a
police report describing the
condition and upkeep of city
cabs.
Police Lt. Kevin Tobin
who handles the city's hack-
ney inspections will be asked
for a full report on all of the
90 cabs in the city.
Councillors questioned
McCulley on the need for
the rate increases as gasoline
prices have gone down con-
siderably. They also asked
whether the increased rates
will benefit cab drivers.
McCulley said that driv-
ers must earn a good income
or they wouldn't take the
position.
"We spend a ton of mon-
ey on maintenance," said
McCulley. "I don't think
we're shooting for the moon
here,"
Under the proposed
schedule, fares will be set
at the following rates: a mini-
mum fare will be $3 and 30
cents for each additional one
tenth of a mile.
A charge of ten cents may
be charged for each addi-
tional passenger carried. The
waiting or use charge will be
$24 an hour.
Special flat rates for me-
tered and un-metered hack-
ney carriages may be ar-
ranged. All provisions must
be posted in a conspicuous
location inside or outside all
licensed cabs.

HOPE for
Homeowners
The HOPE for Homeown-
ers Act is now in effect.
Signed by President Bush in
July as part of the Housing
and Economic Recovery Act
of 2008, the HOPE program
is designed to give relief to
millions of struggling home-
owners by restructuring
their home mortgages.
To be eligible, the home-
owner must:
• Use the home as his main
residence.
• Certify that he hasn't
defaulted on the loan just to
take advantage of the HOPE
program.
• Have a debt-lo-income
ratio greater than 31 percent
a.s of March 1,2008.
If the borrower qualifies,
the lender will rewrite the
loan down lo an amount that
ihe borrower can pay. up lo a
cap of 90 percent of the cur-
rent market value of the
home.
The nCw loan.s must have a
fixed rate for 30 years, with
the borrower annually pay-
ing an extra 1.5 percent of
the loan principal for FHA
insurance.
The downside to the bor-
rower is that he must split
any equity with the FHA
down the road. That amount
will be determined by a
phased-in sliding scale, but
can be as much as 100 per-
cent of the equity if the bor-
rower pays off the loan (by
selling or refmancing) in the
first year, or down to 50 per-
cent at five years.
Not all leriders are eager to
participate in the program,
however. In thciwy they'll
lose a bit now to keep from
possiWy losing a lot later if
they don't help honaeowners
get mortgages under control.
Under the program, lenders
would have to reduce the
amount of the mortgage to
90 percent of the home's
present market value, which
can be a considerable loss if
home values in their area
have abieady plunged. And
the lenders will have to pay
FHA, the backer of the
loans, 3 percent of the
amount.
Additional provisions of
the Act include a federal tax
credit up to $7,500 (10 per-
cent of the purchase price) to
buy a new home, new regu-
lations on reverse mortgages
for the elderly and more pro-
tections for veterans facing
foreclosure.

Five Home-Buying Myths
(ARA) - As first-time
homebuyers grow curi-
ous about the home-buying
process, they often turn to
friends and family for ad-
vice about piu-chasing a
home. While these sources
can provide useful tips and
information, they also may
perpetuate some common
home-buying myths.
"While family and friends
may have the best intentions
when sharing their purchase
experiences, it is important
to make sure that first-time
homebuyers have accurate
information," says Brian
Lee, vice president and na-
tional sales manager for
ditech, a wholly-owned sub-
sidiary of GMAC Financial
Services.
There are many resourc-
es first-time buyers can use
for learning about the home-
financing process, including
attending local mortgage
seminars or researching on-
line. Well-known mortgage
lenders such as ditech often
have educational resources
and mortgage tools on their
Web sites.
So what are some com-
mon home-buying myths?
Lee, who has 10 years of ex-
perience in the mortgage in-
dustry, addresses the myths
and sets the facts straight.
Myth 1 : You need perfect
credit.
An individual's credit
score will significantiy af-
fect his or her mortgage loan
approval and interest rate.
Credit scores may range
from 500 to 850, but the ma-
jority of scores are between
600 and 700. The higher the
score, the more options you
will have when looking for a
mortgage. Along with your
credit score, lenders will
need to consider other fac-
tors before they approve a
loan. Carefully review your
credit report and immediate-
ly contact the credit report-
ing bureaus to correct any

errors. You will want your
credit report to he accurate
by the time you apply for a
mortgage.
Myth 2: Owning a home
is more expensive than rent-
ing.
In many markets, owning
can be as affordable as rent-
ing, especially when you
consider the tax advantages
of owning a home. Unlike
rental costs, which increase
over time, fixed-rate mort-
gages provide consistent
monthly principal and inter-
est payments for the life of
the loan. As you make pay-
ments, the money will be
applied toward the principal ,
increasing the equity in your
home over time. Historical-
ly, owning a home has been
one of the easiest ways of
building wealth in America
as home prices generally in-
crease over time.
Myth 3: Lenders share
your personal information.
Your personal informa-
tion is protected by federal
and state privacy laws. Gen-
erally, lenders must get your
permission to share personal
financial information with
non-affiliates.
Myth 4: The mortgage
process is too long and com-
plicated.
With the right resources,
the process of buying a home
and obtaining a mortgage
can be simplified. Expect
an experienced loan officer
to review the home financ-

ing process with you, define
terms, and address concerns
to find the financing option
that's right for you. In addi-
tion, home lenders such as
ditech (www.ditech.com)
offer a number of online
resources such as payment
calculators, appraisal tools
and a glossary of common-
ly-used mortgage terms to
simplify the home-buying
process.
Myth 5: Lenders love to
make you wait.
Mortgage lenders don't
enjoy making you wait, but
it does take time to review
your application. Although
some lenders may give you
a preliminary and condi-
tional pre-approval based
on the information provided
in an application, they will
need to verify this informa-
tion. This typically involves
confirming employment and
income, financial assets,
and assessing the value of
the home you're purchas-
ing. Other documents, such
as a payoff statement, may
have to be ordered as well.
Because lenders must rely
on the response time of third
parties, the process may -
take longer than anticipated.
Ask your lender about what
to expect when you submit
an application and to keep
you informed of unexpected
delays.

Host Randolph Tonight At 7 PM
Raiders Improve To 5-2,
Tied For Second Place
Sun Sports
By SEAN BRENNAN
At this juncture in the
high school football season
every win is critical. But for
the North Quincy Red Raid-
ers, last Friday night's 21-14
victory over Hanover High
School at Veterans Memo-
rial Stadium, was just about
as critical a win as a team
can earn.
The seven-point victory
upped North Quincy 's over=
all record to 5-2 (four wins
in the last five weeks) over-
all, but more importantly,
brought their Fisher Divi-
sion record to 2- 1 . As of this
week, the Raiders are tied
with Hanover High School
for second place in the di-
vision; both teams are one
game behind Rockland High
School (3-0 Fisher Division
record) in the race for first
place in the division and a
spot in the inaugural Patriot
Bowl on Nov. 14.
The Patriot Bowl will
match the Keenan and
Fisher Division winners in a
game that will decide which
Patriot League team will
represent the league in the
state playoffs.
The Raiders lost to Rock-
land HS two weeks ago 23-
14, putting them in the po-
sition where they need to
win both of their scheduled
games against fellow Fisher
Division opponents Ran-
dolph HS and Middleboro
HS the next two weeks. The
Raiders would also need to
have Rockland lose to Mid-
dleboro and Hanover and
have Hanover lose at least
once to be in a position to
represent the Fisher Divi-
sion in the Patriot Bowl.
Not impossible, especial-
ly if North Quincy can get
close to the effort that was
given last Friday night ver-
sus Hanover in a must-win
game.
'That was a big win for
our team," said NQ head
coach Jim Connor. "We are
happy to get the victory, but
at this point we cannot be
concerned with how it af-
fects us moving forward and
we surely cannot be worry-
ing about the other teams
battling it out for first place
in our division.
"Since we can't control
what the other teams are do-
FOOTBALL
North Quincy- 21
Hanover - 14
ing, we need to continue to
take this season one game at
a time and take care of our-
selves."
The Raiders found them-
selves down by a touchdown
early in the game against the
Hanover Indians. On the
first possession of the game,
Hanover took the ball and
went 62-yards on five plays.
The capper was a four-yard
touchdown run from run-
ning back Matt Page. A suc-
cessful PAT off the foot of
Brett Wheeler put the Indi-
ans up 7-0.
North Quincy's power-
ful offensive attack was
quieted all quarter long, but
the Raider defense held the
Indians in check throughout
the rest of the quarter and
after North was shutout on
its first possession of the
second quarter, the defense
came through with a game-
changing play.
With four plus minutes
to play before halftime, and
the Indians in control of the
ball, Raider defensive back
Matt Jay intercepted an er-
rant pass from quarterback
Matt Johnson. The turnover
gave the ball back to North
Quincy in great field posi-
tion. Two plays later, NQ
quarterback Mike Stanton
(lO-for-15, 165 yards, TD)
found wide receiver Tim
Stille with a 27-yard pass.
Stanton then connected with
wide receiver Paul Reamer
on a five-yard touchdown
strike. Oluwaseyi Adeouy-
an's PAT attempt was suc-
cessful and the score at half-
time was tied at 7-7.
"Stanton is no longer a
rookie," said Connor of his
first-year varsity starter at
quarterback. "He has quick-
ly become a leader on this
team and with the reps he
has been getting he is be-
coming significantly better
every game. H^ has played
great the last two games."
The Raiders opened the
second half the same way
that the Indians opened the
first half: by driving the
length of the field for a go-
ahead touchdown. The big-
gest play of the drive was a
57-yard pass from Stanton
to Reamer (five catches, 103
yards, TD). The completion
helped to bring North into
the shadow of the Hanover
goal line. Senior captain,
running back Terrence Sta-
ley, finished off the drive
with a one-yard touchdown
run, and after Adeouyan
kicked the PAT, the Raiders
held their first lead of the
game at 14-7.
The Indians quickly
responded to the Staley
touchdown. Hanover went
75-yards in just four plays
on its next possession finish-
ing off this productive drive
with a five-yard TD pass
from Johnson to Nick Hock-
ing. The PAT was good and
after three quarters the score
was tied at 14-14.
But on this night, Staley
and the Raiders would not be
denied a victory. Staley, one
of five running backs to see
considerable time for North
Quincy this fall followed
the blocking of his offensive
line on his next carry and
went 57 yards to the house.
His second touchdown run
of the half put North Quincy
ahead for good, 21-14.
"We have five guys who
see time at running back and
this depth is an advantage
for us in case of injuries,"
said Connor. "Terrence is a
guy who has been playing
more and more and he really
stepped up in the second
half of the game with those
two scores."
North Quincy's defense
protected the 21-14 lead
the rest of the way. With
the score still knotted at 14-
14 in the third quarter, Jay
picked off his second pass
of the game and Reamer
closed out any hope the In-
dians had for a comeback
with an INT on the final play
of the game. And, as a result
of good defense and quality
offense, the Raiders picked
up arguably their biggest
win of the 2008 season.
"We are happy to pick up
the win and move on," said
Connor. "Time to focus our
attention on Randolph."
North will play Randolph
High School tonight (Thurs-
day) at Veterans Memorial
Stadium. Kickoff is sched-
uled for 7 p.m.

NQ In Postseason For
First Time In 9 Seasons
The North Quincy Red
Raiders are celebrating like
it is 1999.
For the first time in the
last nine seasons, North will
be playing soccer games
when it counts the most, in
the postseason.
The 2008 regular season
was very successful for the
Raiders as they finished with
a 10-5-3 overall record. The
team finished with a 9-4-3
record in the Patriot League,
finishing in third place in the
league's Fisher Division be-
hind Hanover (10-3-3) and
Pembroke (11-5-0) High
Schools.
The team had a great
depth of talent, starting with
tri-captains Shane Regan,
Mike Prioli and Ryan Lou-
is.
Regan, a senior, is one of
the top scorers in the state
with 20 goals and 21 assists
for a total of 41 points. A
varsity squad starter since
his freshman year, he has
been selected as a league
All-Star for the past three
years and was a Patriot Led-
ger All-Scholastic, Eastern
Mass All-Star and an All-
State All-Star last year, with
more accolades to come this
off-season.
NQ head coach Rich
Hanlon called Shane "one of
fastest and best ball control
players he has ever seen at
the high school level."
Senior forward Mike Pri-
oli is also a vocal leader on
the Raiders. He finished sec-

Now A Math Teacher At Atlantic Middle School
Tim Daley: A Baseball
Star With Carlos Pena
At Northeastern University
Host Scituate Friday At 7 PM
Presidents' Record Drops
To 1-2 In Patriot League
By LANNY LARASON
It was suggested to Tim
Daley recently that he was
Carlos Pena's original Evan
Longoria and the math
teacher at North Quincy's
Atlantic Middle School
shuffled somewhat uncom-
fortably and modestly say-
ing, "Ahhh, I don't know
about that".
But, the fact is, Daley hit
cleanup with Carlos Pena
third in the Northeastern
University batting order
in 1997 and 1998 and it is
Daley, not Pena, who holds
the Husky records for career
home runs (37) and RBI
(147).
The '97 NU baseball
team won the America East
conference championship
and beat Beth una Cookman
in a play in game to earn a
spot in the NCAA regional
at Stanford where they were
eliminated with losses to
Stanford and Cal State Ful-
lerton. Daley led that team
with 15 home runs while
Pena had 1 1 and Daley was
the team rbi leader with 59,
which is NU's single season
rbi record.
Any good math teacher
will tell you that statistics
sometimes lie. Daley, who
must be pretty good in the
classroom, doesn't hesitate
to mention that he "ben-
efited from being in the
lineup with (Carlos). Pitch-
ers knew he was coming up
and they pitched around him
a lot of times putting them
in situations where they had
to throw strikes to me" and
"where statistically I had
better numbers than him,
you knew that he was the
prospect. You just knew".
Daley and Pena met for
the first time as participants
in Boston Herald colum-
nist, Steve Buckley's "Old
Time Baseball Game" in the
summer of '97. Pena had
just transferred to NU from
Wright State in Michigan
and Daley recalls was "just
a personable kid. Genuine.
Family guy. What you see
is really who he is". It was
a pairing that for the next
two seasons became for
Northeastern what Pena and
Longoria are now for the
Rays in baseball's post-sea-
son of 2008. NU baseball
coach, Neil McPhee recalls
those seasons with Pena and
Daley hitting back to back
saying "you could feel the
tension in opposing pitchers
and the confidence on our
bench even an inning before
they came to bat. Invari-
ably, Tim and Carios would
hit back to back shots. Tim
just crushed the ball to the
opposite field and Carios hit

The loss drops Quincy's

no good.

Quincy finally got into
the end zone. Quarterback
Lance Peterson (9-for-22,
109 yards, TD) connected
on a nine-yard touchdown
pass to wide receiver Antho-

it with his late-game field

Raiders Need Two Wins To Reach Postseason
By SEAN BRENNAN
It will all come down to
last night's Patriot League
game against Scituate High
School and Friday's non-
league game against Somer-
ville High School. Win both
and they are in the postsea-
son, lose one of these two
games and the dream of a
twelfth straight tournament
appearance is officially
over.
The North Quincy Red
Raiders entered their final
five games of the regular
season needing to win four-
out-of-five to advance to
the postseason. The Raiders
knocked off Rockland HS
(1-0) and Middleboro HS
(1-0) late last week before
dropping a 6-1 decision to
Pembroke HS last Friday.
The Raiders started their
late-season tournament push
with a huge 1-0 victory over
Patriot League opponent
Girls' Soccer
Rockland on Oct. 21. The
two teams had played to a
0-0 draw earlier in the year
(Sept. 18), but this time
around the Raiders received
a spectacular showing from
its defense and senior goalie
Siobhan Camell (35 saves)
and got a timely goal from
junior Cara Murtagh (assist
to junior Kristen Peterson)
to earn the win.
"This was unquestion-
ably our best game of the
year," said NQ head coach
Paul Bregoli. "Camell was
unbelievable in net and the
defense of Shannon Cole-
man and E>evon McKay at
outside back, Sammi Bo-
nanni at stopper and Lind-
sey Repucci at sweeper was
phenomenal. It was our best
performance of the season
and it was a big win."
The Raiders may have
won the game I-O but the
team had numerous other
scoring opportunities that
went by the books. Peterson
and senior Lindsay Reilly
both had shots ring off'Rock-
land's crossbar in the second
half and seniors Kerry Don-
aghey and Brittany Folkins
both had chances to score.
"We had a number of
girls play their best games
of the year," added Bregoli.
"It was only a 1-0 win, but
it could have been much
higher."
On the road Oct. 23
against Middleboro HS, the
Raiders, behind 25 saves
from Camell and an early
first-half goal from Peter-
son, held on for another
huge 1-0 victory over a Pa-
triot League opponent.
Peterson, who was settled
in the box, took a perfect
feed from Murtagh in the
tenth minute and buried an
eieht vard shot to give North
the 1-0 advantage. The play
of Camell (sixth shutout in
2008, 17* of her varsity ca-
reer) continued to move the
Raiders closer to their stated
preseason goal of making it
to the postseason.
"Siobhan has been so
good this year and in this
game she stopped shot af-
ter shot," said Bregoli. "Her
play won it for us."
North Quincy freshman
Jonlyn Lydon and senior
Kerry Donaghey both mis-
fired on breakaway scor-
ing chances in the second
half but the Raiders held on
nonetheless.
Bregoli singled out the
play of senior captains
Amy Carchedi and Jillian
O'Brien, junior Rachel
Lucier and senior Lindsey
Reilly.
Against Pembroke HS,
North fell behind early and
dropped a 6-1 decision. Car-
nell made 19 saves before
sitting out the second half
and Brittany Folkins scored
the lone goal. The goal was
the third of the season for
Folkins to go along with five
assists.
"We came out a little
flat," said Bregoli. "Pem-
broke is a great team but we
didn't really play up to our
capabilities. Losing to them
means that we need to win
our final two games to ad-
vance."
Playing well against Pem-
broke included Murtagh,
Lucier, senior Erin Collins
and Logan White.
If North (^ncy defeat-
ed Scituate High School
Wednesday night and beat
Somerville this Friday the
Raiders will advance to the
postseason for the twelfth
season in a row. Seedings
for the tournament will be
announced early next week.

Cold Weather
Fitness
The late fall and winter
months can make ii difficult
to continue a fitness routine
that consists of outdoor
activities. Colder tempera-
tures and less sunlight
require a realistic and
diverse plan to keep you
moving toward your fitness
goals. These tips can keep
you fit on the inside when it
gets cold outside.
• Anticipate a temperature
change. Begin planning
alternative exercise routines
early. Plan ahead; don't wait
until you are forced to
change your workouts. A
fitness routine that consists
of running, walking, cycling
or hiking may have to be
altered during colder
months.
• Find innovative and fun
activities that could take the
place of outdoor activities
that may have to be put on
hold during the winter, such
as dance lessons, spinning
classes, mall walking or
indoor rock climbing. Try
different activities before
the really cold weather
arrives, so you're well-pre-
pared if your woitouts have
to change. Keeping yourself
active and motivated are top
priorities.
• Prepare your body for
colder weather. fJot every-
one hibernates; if you con-
tinue to walk, run or cycle
outdoors as the weather
changes, it is extremely
important to equip your
body with tools to fight the
elements. Dress in layers
and protect your head, ears,
face, nose, hands and toes.
As you begin to warm up
you can always peel back
layers. And drink plenty of
fluids. Although the weath-
er is cold outside and you
may take longer to build a
sweat, staying hydrated is
still important
• Go with the flow. Try to
remain flexible and give
yourself many options.
Since the weather is beyond
our control, developing
plans for different scenarios
can be helpful. Joining a
health club, purchasing an
aerobic video or teaming up
with a friend who owns fit-
ness equipment are three
options you can use to com-
plete your aerobic woiicout
regardless of outside condi-
tions. Also, remember not to
be loo hard on yourself if
you miss a day — just get
back on track as soon as
possible.
Always consult a physi-
cian before beginning an
exercise program.

DOES YOUR FAMILY GET ENOUGH FLUORIDE?
According to the U.S. Cen-
ters for Disease Control and
Preventton, the reduction in
dental cavities due to add-
ing fluoride to public water
supplies is one of the top ten
public health achievements
of the 20th century. Yet, 60
years after fluoridation was
first introduced into public
water supplies to help pre-
vent tooth decay, the water
systems serving about 30
percent of Americans are not
giving them fluoridated water.
This translates to 82 million
Americans not getting fluori-
dated water from community
water systems. It should also
be pointed out that people
who otDtain their water from
private wells or from bottled
water may not getting fluoride,
either. If you have concems
about getting sufficient fluo-
ride, consult with your dentist.
Widespread use of fluoride
has been a major factor in the
decline in the prevalence and
severity of dental caries (i.e.,
tooth decay) in the United
States and other economically
developed countries. When
used appropriately, fluoride is
both safe and effective in pre-
venting and controlling den-
tal caries. We are dedicated
to excellence in dental care.

Keeping Colds And Flu At Bay
It's lurking just around

Halloween sj)ook, but cold
and flu season. And the best
way to avoid it, according
to Dolly Darcy, RN, MSN,
FNP-C, and Sharon Gior-
dani, RN, MSN, FNP-C, is
to get an annual flu shot and
wash your hands — alot.
"It is a good idea to get
a flu shot as soon as they
are available, which is right
now," recommends Darcy,
noting that the flu shot is
generally approved for use
in people 6 months of age
and older and the nasal -
spray flu vaccine is an op-
tion for healthy people 2-49
years of age who are not
pregnant. "Getting the vac-
cine early provides protetc-

son, which can stretch into
the spring. But even if you
get a shot later in the season,
it will still provide some
protection against flu."
Cold and flu viruses
spread mainly from person
to person through coughing
or sneezing of people with
the viruses. People may also
become infected by touch-
ing something with viruses
on it and then touching their
mouth or nose.
"With the flu, individuals
may be able to infect oth-
ers beginning a day before
symptoms develop, before
they even know they are
sick and up to five days af-
ter becoming sick," adds
Giordani. "So I would en-
courage everyone, in ad-
dition to being vaccinated,
to practice frequent hand
washing to decrease your
chances of getting the flu, as
well as colds and other ill-
nesses. And if you are sick
with a cold or flu, try to re-
duce your contact with oth-
ers and cover your coughs
and sneezes with the crook
of your arm or with a tis-
sue to help keep germs from
spreading."
While both colds and flu
can make you feel lousy,
the flu can lead to compli-
cations, including bacterial
pneumonia, ear infections,
sinus infections, dehydra-
tion, and worsening of
chronic medical conditions,
such as congestive heart
failure, asthma, or diabetes,
while colds generally do
not result in serious health
problems. Because their
symptms can be similar,
telling the difference be-
tween a cold and the flu can
be tricky. In general, the flu
is worse than the common
cold, and symptoms such as
fever, body aches, extreme
tiredness, and dry cough are
more common and intense.
Stomach symptoms, such as
nausea, vomiting, and diar-
rhea, also can occur but are
more common in children
than adults. Colds are usu-
ally milder than the flu and
are more likely to cause a
runny or stuffy nose.
If you have questions
about whether you should
get a flu vaccine, or if you
get the flu and would like
to know if antiviral drugs
are an apporpriate treatment
option, consult your health-
care provider.

cll'S
ARIES (March 21 to April
19) The high standards you
set for yourself don't always
translate into the behavior
you expect of others. That
relationship problem can be
resolved if you're more flexi-
ble and less judgmental.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) Not enough party bids to
satisfy the Bovine 's fun-lov-
ing side this week? Go ahead
and throw one of your own.
Then prepare for some seri-
ous work coming up early
next week.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) A new and intensely pro-
ductive cycle is about to kick
in. Be careful not to get too
stressed out, though. Make
time to restore your energies
by relaxing with family and
friends.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) This could be a good time
to share some of your plans
with those closest to you.
Their comments c(5uld give
you some added insight into
how you might accomplish
your goals.
LEO (July 23 to August 22)
An attack of self-doubt might
be unsettling for the usually
super-assured Feline. But it
could be your inner voice
telling you to hold off imple-
menting your plans until
you've reassessed them.
VIRGO (August 23 to Sep-
tember 22) This is a great
lime for you to reward your-
self for all your hard work by
taking a trip you haven't
spent months carefully plan-
ning, to somewhere you nev-
er thought you'd be going.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Some misunder-
standings resist -being
resolved. But your sincerity
in wanting to soothe those
hurt feelings wins the day. By
month's end, that relation-
ship should begin to show
signs of healing.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) A hectic job
schedule begins to ease just
in time to blow off all that
work-generated steam on
Halloween. A family situa-
tion runs into an unexpected
complication.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21) A
cutting remark in the work-
place needs to be handled
with finesse. Remember:
How you respond could
determine the depth of sup-
port you gain from col-
leagues.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) Once
again, that Capricomean
stubborn streak sets in and
could keep you from getting
much-neeiied advice. Fortu-
nately, it lifts by week's end,
in time to make an informed
decision.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) A surprise trip
early in the week could lead
to other unexpected offers
when you return. Word to the
wise: Avoid talking top much
about this until you've made
some decisions.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Learning domi-
nates the week for perspica-
cious Pisceans, who are
always looking to widen their
range of knowledge. A series
of important job-linked com-
mitments begins late in the
week.
BORN THIS WEEK:
Your sense of humor gener-
ates good feelings and good
will everywhere you go.

SCOTT DEWARE ^jg ^j^y people do or say certain things.
You have to try to be dispassionate and objective, difficult as
that may be , and not let yourself become hurt or offended.
Ask yourself, "Why did he say that?" "Why did he do that?"

of patience and good will you can often heal their hurts and
resentments.
It is a sad fact that many people sometimes go through
life misunderstanding associates, friends and family. Much
misunderstanding is due to the fact that a few drops of kindly
understanding are not allowed to fall into the cups that would
be brimming with happiness if a Uttle understanding were
present. Couldn't it be said that a little misunderstanding can
go a long way toward solving most serious situations? . . .

This day of golf capped
off an outstanding season for
the North Quincy Red Raid-
ers. The team finished the
year in first place, tied with
Hanover High School, in
the Patriot League's Fisher
Division with a 7-3 record.
The Raiders went on and

A developer, C-Mait

filed an application for a
23,000-sq. ft. supermarket,
food court and restaurant on
10 Hayward Street in North
Quincy.
The supermarket will be
located on the former site
of Boston Gear and will
accommodate 91 parking
spaces, according to prelim-
inary plans.
The City Council, act-
ing as the Special Permit

open a public hearing on the
application Monday, Nov. 6
at 6 p.m.
Ward 6 Councillor Brian

McNamee said area resi-
dents described the need for
a store that features Asian

However, a large num-
ber of residents "expressed
grave concerns regarding
the intensity of the use at the
proposed site and feared an
adverse impact on area traf-

After a lengthy discus-
sion last week, councillors
set the Nov. 6 date to con-

3 Drop Out Of Contention
New Fire Chief
Test To Be Called
A new Civil Service test
for Fire Chief candidates
will be scheduled after three
of the four who signed to
accept the job ultimately de-
cided they would not take it
if appointed.
Mayor Thomas Koch
said acting Chief Joseph
Brown will remain in that
position until the new test,
and the subsequent Civil
Service list, becomes active
next year.
"Civil Service rules dic-
tate that the appointing au-
thority, in this case Mayor
Koch, have at least three
candidates to choose from.
Right now, there is one,"
said Human Resources Di-
rector Stephen McGrath.
Deputy Chief George
McGunagle, Deputy Chief
Jeffrey Starr and Captain
Paul Griffith all stated they
would not accept the top po-
sition in the Fire Department
after signing Civil Service
paperwork indicating they
wished to be considered
for the chief's job. Deputy
Chief Gary Smyth was the
fourth candidate.
"A clean slate will be
the fairest way to handle it
at this point," Koch said. "I
have full confidence in Act-
ing Chief Baron, his com-
mand staff and all our fire-
fighters. We have the best
fire department in the Com-
monwealth, and the process
for selecting a chief is not
going to change that."
The decision to call for
a new test comes after an
original selection process
that was clouded by sev-
eral issues leading up to fire
Chief Timothy Pettinelli's
retirement this year, Koch
said. Among those issues:
The last Civil Service
exam for chief's candidates
was held in 2006 and was
set to expire prior to Petti-
nelli's scheduled retirement.
A new test was scheduled
for last year, with those re-
sults expected to be in effect
when Pettinelli retired. But
too few people signed up for
the test, meaning that the old
Civil Service list would be
extended for another year

'Sarsaparilla' And FDR
"Sarsaparilla!"
Just one word.
But the beginning of a most unbelievable story of
World War II . One that never made the headlines be-
cause of the tight security and secrecy surrounding it.
I first wrote about it after the war in the 1950s. Ann
McLaughlin, director of the Thomas Crane Library,
has invited me to retell it for the "Quincy Remembers
World War II" series on the library's website (thom-
ascranelibrary.org) .
And, I get a column out of it, too.
It goes back to Armistice Day (Veterans Day), No-
vember 1943 and Norfolk, VA. I was a signalman on
the destroyer USS Cogswell and had the signal watch
that particular night. Our captain, Comdr. Harold
Deuterman said to me:
"I am expecting an important message. It might be
only one word - sarsaparilla. If it comes, awake me
immediately."
It wasn't too long before the battleship USS Iowa
reached out of the inky darkness with a flashing signal
light.
Three dots, dot dash, dot dash dot and so on until
the flashes spelled.
S-A-R-S-A-P-A-R-I-L-L-A.
The captain was awakened and the message relayed
to two other destroyers, one of them the William D.
Porter.
Whatever else "sarsaparilla" meant it told us to get
underway. Around midnight, the Iowa, and its screen-
ing escorts the Cogswell, Porter and another destroyer
whose name I don't remember, slipped quietly out to
sea under cover of darkness while Norfolk slept.
It was a mysterious trip. No one told us where we
were going but you could tell something was up.
A few days later we were nearing Gibraltar. I was
on the bridge with other signalmen. A quiet, peaceful
day-until the silence was shattered by a booming cry:
"T-0-R-P-E-D-O!"
And there it was-a torpedo streaking through the
water toward the Iowa.
The Iowa was warned by emergency flag hoists and
a talk-between-ships telephone. She managed to turn
to avoid the torpedo, which exploded about 50 yards
behind in her wake.
General quarters were sounded and the Cogswell
crew rushed to their battle stations as we prowled the
area looking for the German submarine to drop depth
charges on.
But we couldn't locate the sub. Then we learned
there was no sub to locate.
The torpedo was not from a German submarine. It
had been fired from the Porter.
The flag officer in
charge of the destroyer
escort was on the Cog-
swell and sputtered and
fumed when the Porter
informed us "that was
our torpedo."
The Porter, it was

Point. After all, it didn't hit the Iowa.
But he knew something that we didn't know.
On the Iowa were Harry Hopkins, Admirals Le-
ahy, Mclntire and Cook. Generals Marshall, Arnold,
Handy, Somervell and Watson according to Hopkins'
private papers made public after the war.
Not only that, but with them was Admiral Ernest
King, Chief of Naval Operations.
And someone else was aboard
the Iowa: President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt.
We were escorting him to the Tehe-
ran Conference to meet with Churchill,
Stalin and Chiang Kai-Shek.
We later turned the Iowa over to
another division of destroyers one day
out of Africa. The Cogswell and Por-
ter headed to Bermuda.
The Porter was held in Bermuda for a board of in-
quiry investigation with the whole ship under arrest.
The board found that the Iowa episode was an accident
with no evidence of any sabotage.
The Porter was ordered to the Aleutian Islands ap-
parently as punishment duty.
But that didn't end our relationship.
The Cogswell headed for the Panama Canal and out
to the Pacific where we screened the carriers in the
Third and Fifth Fleets.
And on to the Marshalls, Truk, Saipan, Guam, Tin-
ian, the Philippines, China Sea, Formosa, the Bonnin
Islands, etc.
Forgotten was the William D. Porter.
But now it was June 1945 and Okinawa, the door-
step to the Japanese mainland. The Cogswell was as-
signed to radar picket duty between Okinawa and Ja-
pan with other destroyers. Two destroyers would go
out together as a team.
On June 10, the Cogswell moved out to take its
picket station. Out came another destroyer to join us.
We could hardly believe it. It was the William D.
Porter, which we hadn't seen since the Iowa incident.
We took our positions about 500 yards apart. And
suddenly there was a Japanese Kamikaze high in the
sky and diving down on us.
We fired all our guns at the plane but it got through.
Now the pilot had to make a quick decision, which de-
stroyer would be his target. He picked the Porter.
We thought it crashed onto the Porter. But accord-
ing to the Navy version, it was a near-miss. The plane's
bomb apparently passed under the Porter before ex-
ploding causing uncontrolled flooding.
LCS hurried to the Porter's side to take off 350
crewmembers. Word was that there were no fatalities.
About three hours later, the Porter rolled over on
her starboard side. Her bow shot up like the grasping
hand of a person drowning and she slipped into her
watery grave.
It was a sad sight.
We were with her only twice: On day firing a tor-
pedo at the President of the United States and the other
taking a Kamikaze instead of us.
She was a hard luck ship. Jinxed.

Apple Dumplings
Homemade apple pie is a favorite with the
family, and I enjoy baking them. However,
recently, I found a wonderful recipe for apple
dumplings which I think will be as popular
as apple pie. It takes about the same time to
prepare this delicious dessert.
The first thing is to either make a pie crust
or purchase it already made in the market.
Then buy six small apples, either Granny
Smith or mackintosh/ ( I use both)
In the nutshell if I had to tell you the easiest
way to make this dessert, it would be you have
to wrap each apple after you fill the core.
Apple Dumplings
For the filling
5 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup raspberry jam
1/2 cup. chopped walnuts
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
6 small apples
1 large egg (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon water
whipped cream for topping
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
First cut six round circles out of the dough
and roll each piece into 1/8 inch thick. Com-
bine the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle
about a teaspoon over the dough round.
Then combine the rest of the sugar and
cinnamon with the jam , walnuts , brown sugar
and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Peel and core the apples, creating a cavity
about an inch wide. Place each apple in the
center of the dough round. Spoon 11/2 table-
spoons of the jam mixture into each apple.
Now starting on one side, press the dough
against the apple and repeat allowing dough
to fall into pleats as you work your way
around the apple.
Gather the dough on the top and trim off
any extra dough. Pinch it closed. Just wrap
the apple as nice as you can.
Brush each apple with the beaten egg and
water. Place on a slightly greased cookie sheet.
Bake until golden brown, 45 to 55 minutes.
Serve warm with the cream. It takes a while,
but they are so pretty to look at and more
delicious when they are eaten.

Energy Education Forum
At Crane Library Nov. 10
Quincy Community Ac-
tion Programs , Inc . (QC AP) ,
Cong. >\^illiam E>elahunt,
and Mayor Thomas Koch
will host an Energy Educa-
tion Forum Monday, Nov.
10 at 10 a.m. in the Thomas
Crane Public Library, main
meeting room, 40 Washin-
gotn St., Quincy.
The forum is open to the
public.
"This is going to be an
incredibly difficult winter
for many families in Quin-
cy, and I am proud to join
QCAP, Congressman Dela-
hunt and our entire com-
munity as we come together
to do everything possible
for families in our city who
will desperately need assis-
tance," said Mayor Koch.
Forum participants will
learn about local resources
that can help them pay a
portion of their winter heat-
ing bills (such as QCAP's
Fuel Assistance Program).
Speakers from QCAP, the
City of Quincy, a Utility
Company and the Fire De-
partment will discuss winter
safety and energy savings
tips.
Light refreshments will
be served. For reservations
contact Melinda Alexander,
617-479-8181 ext. 356 or
malexander@qcap.org.
The forum is an impor-
tant educational tool as the
continuing spike in energy
costs and an economy in cri-
sis are putting the squeeze
on consumers, Delahunt
said.
"Quincy Conmiunity Ac-
tion Programs (QCAP) and
other human service orga-
nizations in my district that
work with consumers on
energy assistance problems
see a critical need to signifi-
cantly increase funding for
LIHEAP, fuel assistance and
weatherization programs,"
Delahunt added.
"Fuel assistance is a
critical resource for low-
income households to stay
safe and warm during the
winter months," said Beth
Ann Strollo, QCAP's ex-
ecutive director. "We are
pleased to announce that the
eligibility for fuel assistance
has been increased to 60%
of the median income this
year. With high home en-
ergy prices and these tough
economic times, we expect
to help more residents and
urge anyone who may be
eligible to call us before the
very cold weather hits."
Quincy Community Ac-
tion Programs, Inc. (QCAP)
is a private not-for-profit
organization that was in-
corporated in 1965. QCAP
delivers programs that im-
prove the quality of life for
low-income residents while

Although not subject to

The movie focuses on
a well-to-do, sophisticated
couple, Elsa and Michele
who have a 20-year-old
daughter and enough mon-
ey for Elsa to leave her job
and fulfill an old dream of
studying art history. After
she graduates, however,
their lives change, after

he hasn't worked in two

they risk losing their most
precious possession: the
love that binds them.

Prendeville said that Post

have pledged to continue.
However, graffiti is a
never-ending struggle and
he said that the DPW will
continue working with the
police department, the T,
and the schools, according
to Prendeville who said the
public's cooperation is es-

Prendeville said graffiti

Frederick C. Murphy
Medal Of Honor Winner
City's 'Unknown War Hero'
By TOM HENSHAW
He has a school named
for him in Weymouth; a
federal center in Waltham;
a 63-year-old Victory
ship awaiting scrapping
in Beaumont, Texas; a
room in the University
off Pennsylvania library;
even an Army barracks in
Stuttgart, Germany.
But in his hometown of
Quincy — not very much.
Except for a plaque at-
tached to a boulder on Sea
Street, an engraved brick at
the World War II Memorial,
a park off Narragansett Road
in Merry mount that the Park
Department can't find; and
possibly the side road lead-
ing to the Quincy Youth
Arena, Frederick C. Murphy
is the city's unknown war
hero.
Murphy, whose fam-
ily owned and operated
the Strand and Alhambra
Theatres in downtown
Quincy, was a 26 -year-old
unarmed medic with the
65th Infantry Division on
March 18, 1945, when his
259"" Regiment engaged the
Germans at Saarlautem.
Wounded in the shoul-
der by machine gun fire, he
continued treating others'
wounds until he stepped on
a mine, blowing off one of
his feet. Still he continued
ministering to others until
he crawled over another live
mine. This one he didn't
survive.
For his sacrifice.
Murphy was awarded the
Congressional Medal of
Honor.
The fact that his home-
town has done so little
to memorialize Murphy
doesn't sit well with Lennie
Morris, an acquaintance
from Quincy whose 264*
Regiment was caught up in
the same battle and who re-
calls watching him die.
It was Morris who pur-
chased the brick in the World
War II Memorial walkway
to remind his hometown in a
small way of his heroic deed
intheheat of battle.
"The Germans shot
him," said Morris. "It spun
him around. He hit the mine
that blew off his foot. He
tied a tourniquet to stop the
bleeding. He staggered to a
second wounded man. He
reached him and the mine
blew him up. What a terrible
sight.
FREDERICK C. MURPHY
"What he did I could
never do. He wandered out
in a mine field looking for
wounded. There was no fu-
neral. There couldn't have
been from what I saw. There
was nothing left of him."
That's not exactly true.
His remains are buried in
Plot F, Row 11, Grave 19
of the Lorraine American
Cemetery and Memorial in
Saint Avoid in the province
of Lorraine, France. Not far
from the scene of his hero-
ism in Saarlautem.
Morris said he first met
Murphy before the war with
his mother and father in a
Cottage Avenue restaurant.
""We were not real close
friends," he said. "He was a
few years older that I was.
We'd see each other once
in a while and it was 'Hi,
Fred.' And 'Hi, Lennie.' But
I'd still like to see Fred's
memory perpetuated."
His Medal of Honor cita-
tion was awarded Feb. 26,
1946, by President Harry
Truman.
""An aid man, he was
wounded in the right shoul-
der soon after his comrades
had jumped off in a dawn
attack 18 March, 1945,
against the Siegfried Line at
Saarlautem, Germany.
"He refused to withdraw
for treatment and continued
forward, administering first
aid under heavy machine-
gun, mortar and artillery
fire.
"When to company ran
into a thickly sown antiper-
sonnel minefield and began
to suffer more and more ca-
sualties, he continued to dis-
regard his own wound and
unhesitatingly braved the
danger of exploding mines,
moving about through heavy
fire and helping the injured
until he stepped on a mine
which severed on of his feet
"In spite of his grievous
wounds, he struggled on
with his work. Refusing to
be evacuated and crawling
from man to man adminis-
tering to them while in great
pain and bleeding profusely.
"He was killed by the
blast of another mine which
he had dragged himself
across in an effort to reach
still another casualty.
"With indomitable cour-
age, and unquenchable
spirit of self-sacrifice and
supreme devotion to duty
which made it possible for
him to continue performing
his tasks while barely able
to move, Pfc Murphy saved
many of his fellow soldiers
at the cost of his own life."
Murphy was bom in
Boston but grew up in
Quincy and graduated
from Thayer Academy in
Braintree. He entered the
University of Pennsylvania
with the Class of 1943 but
dropped out before finishing
his freshman year and left
little mark.
Not until their 50* re-
union did the Class of '43
realize that the classmate
they had known so briefly
had been a war hero. He had
been forgotten by them, too.
"There were a few who
had known him as a fresh-
man," said Class President
Jack Lawler. "He came from
a suburb of Boston and stu-
dents rode back on the train
from Boston to Philadelphia
with him. Some were in his
dormitory but we lost sight
of him after the war and
did not know he had been
killed."
The discovery of
Murphy's brief membership
in the Qass of '43 came as
surviving members were do-
nating $3 million for a new
circulation room for the col-
lege library. It was promptly
named the Murphy Room
and a plaque and portrait
mounted in his honor.
Murphy was living in
Weymouth with his wife,
the former Virginia "Gina"
Bresnahan, and working in
the shipyard when he en-
listed from that town which
gave Weymouth reason to
claim him and rename the
Homestead School in his
honor.
The Army recognized
him early, naming in his
honor the Murphy General
Hospital in Waltham, which
became the Frederick C.
Murphy Federal Center in
April, 1994, when the hos-
pital was closed.
Now, may be it's time for
Quincy to take note of its
hometown hero, too.

And Exchange Commission To Speak At ENC
David Bergers, regional
director of the Securities
and Exchange Commission
Boston Regional Office,
will be the featured speaker
at the Warren Business Fo-
rum Thursday, Nov. 13 at
Eastern Nazarene College
(ENC).
The event, which is free,
will be held in the Com-
mons in the Mann Student
Center. The annual catered
event draws business lead-
ers, community members,
and students from the metro
Boston area for a timely talk
and networking opportuni-
ties.
Bergers' speech will
focus on the changing
economy, fitting with the
forum's theme, "Economic
Tsunamis." He is a graduate
of Eastern Nazarene Col-
lege and Yale Law School,
and was named "Lawyer of
the Year" by Massachusetts
Lawyer Weekly in 2006.
The Warren Business
Forum is held in memory
of the late John Warren,
an ENC alumnus of 1934,
and founder of the Warren
Lightning Rod Company of
Collingswood, New Jersey.
His company is a leading
producer of lightning rods
for industrial, commercial,

buildings in much of the
eastern United States. He

dent of the Alumni Associa-
tion of ENC, and was an ac-
tive member of his church,
mission, and nationwide
television ministry board.
Warren believed God leads
people into business and
professional lives, as well
as into church ministry and
missionary work.
The goal of the Warren
Business Forum is to bring
inspiration and enthusiasm
to college students so that
they will pursue their goals
"not slothful in business,
serving the Lord."
The Warren Business Fo-
rum is affiliated with ENC's
Business Department,
which offers 15 business
study majors. It emphasizes
promoting Christian ethics
as they pertain to business
and economic activities,
with the goal of integrat-
ing faith and learning. The

Adams Family Opposed
To Pageant Field Track
The Adams family has
withdrawn its lukewarm and
tentative approval of a track
facility at Pageant Field,
a part of Charles Francis
Adams Jr.'s gift to the city
in 1885.
Peter Boylston Adams,
CF's great-grandson and
treasurer of the Adams
Memorial Society, said in a
letter to Mayor Thomas P.
Koch that the society had
voted unanimously to op-
pose any development at
Pageant Field.
Adams in May, 2007,
reluctantly worked out an
agreement with then-May-
or William Phelan with 10
stipulations and subject
to a vote of the Memorial
Society to approve place-
ment of the facility.
He hinted that he agreed
to the accord only to take the
matter out of politics during
an election year.
Adams' letter to Koch
follows:
"Over the course of the
past year the Adams fam-
ily has focused its attention
in considerable detail on
plans initiated by the city
to significantly develop the
open land known today as
Pageant Field by building
a full-sized track and field
facility with the running
surface a yellow or orange
coloration (a visual horror).
'This land was given
by me great-grandfather,
Charles Francis Adams Jr.,
in 1885. His intention in
making this gift to the town
of Quincy was that it be held
in its natural state as a pub-
lic pleasure ground free to
all inhabitants of Quincy.
"In his letter announc-
ing his gift to the town CFA
Jr. stated "this tract of land
has seemed to many almost
adapted by nature, as the
pressure of population in-
creased, for a public plea-
sure ground.
"He clearly in giving the
land to Quincy conceived it
would be held in perpetu-
ity as open and untouched
conservation land provid-
ing an unobstructed view of
the tidal vista leading to a

stupendous view of Quincy
Bay.
"He alludes to a similar
gift made by his great great-
grandfather, John Adams.
He indicates that the un-
derlying reason for his gift
as being the same as that of
John Adams, 'the habitual
affection he bore to the in-
habitants with whom he had
so happily lived.
"On Sept. 8, 2008, the
Board of Directors and
member of the Adams
Memorial Society met at
the stone library at the Old
House, now the Adams
National Historical Park. At
that meeting the unanimous
vote was recorded that the
Adams family was deeply
opposed to any develop-
ment at Pageant Field which
would in any way alter the
natural beauty and the exist-
ing character of the site.
"Because the Adams
family has scrupulously
avoided involvement in city
politics and the matter ap-
peared to be an issue in a
current mayoral campaign it
was decided that the Adams
family's position would
only be made public once
the mayoral election was
complete.
"It is the Adams family's
hope that the citizens of
Quincy will honor the intent
of this generous bequest of
open land made 123 years
ago as they have protected
other Adams legacies to the
town in the past."
Our great-grandfather used to say,
"There are jewelers and there are those who sell jewelry.
Your customer will know the difference."

USING A PAINT BRUSH instead of a welding torch is Florence DilUlio Joyce, who pioneered
wartime work for women at the Fore River Shipyard. Quincy Sun photo/Laura Griffin
Florence DiTullio Joyce A Pioneer
THOUSANDS OF WOMEN were hired for defense work at Fore River Shipyard but these
women were among the first. These "Wmnie the Welders" helped win World War II. Quincy's
Florence DilVillio Joyce is in the middle of the second rqw dressed in full protective gear with

'Winnie The Welder' Recalls World War II Days At Shipyard
By LAURA GRIFFIN
One might call Florence
DiTullio Joyce the first lady
of Fore River Shipyard.
"I was the first woman
to fill out an application, to
be interviewed, and to be
hired," Joyce said last week
as she recalled the early days
of 1941.
She and several others
were hired early in the war
years, before women were
urged to work in defense
plants for the war effort.
Two uncles, Dan Libertini
and Rocco DiTullio, worked
at Fore River and encour-
aged the 19-year-old beauty
and recent high school grad-
uate of Quincy High School
to apply.
" 'They're thinking of hir-
ing women,'" Joyce's Uncle
Rocco told her. Joyce was
raised on Washington Street
and lived on Pond Street af-
ter her marriage.
Joyce got the job and the
rest is history.
The first women, like
Joyce, were so successful
and good at the jobs, that
thousands of women were
subsequently hired for de-
fense work.
At the time, Joyce was
a pioneer in a man's world
and no one called her "Flo"
or "Florence, "though.
"I had a gorgeous figure
and they put 'Woo, Woo'
on the back of my welding
jacket." Joyce recalled, add-
ing that her male co-work-
ers gave her the nickname,
"Woo, Woo" and it stuck.
"I loved it," Joyce said,
adding that "The majority of
men were respectful."
She recalled that the
green suede-like protec-
tive clothing was heavy and
cumbersome as was the hel-
met which Joyce had to wear
when welding to protect her
eyes.
"You'd get a flash, if you
took your eyes away," Joyce
said of the dangers of look-
ing at the welding flame,
even from the comer of an
eye. "The flash bums the
eye tissue."
Shortly after Joyce was
hired, four other women
joined her and the women
began the heavy-duty, and
sometimes dangerous, weld-
ing work previously only
performed by men.
"We were an experi-
ment," Joyce said when she
recalled those early days.
"We were an experiment,
but we must have done a
good job because they kept
us and hired many, many
more women welders."
"When they found that
women were capable of
any job, they hired women
as burners, welders, shipfit-
ters," Joyce said.
"I welded parts of THE
WASP," said Joyce, recall-
ing one of the ships she'd
worked on and others com-
missioned after being built
at Fore River.
Records suggest that
many more than 2000 wom-
en shipbuilders worked at
the Fore River Shipyard for
the war efforts.
Ron Adams, a history
teacher at Broad Meadows
Middle School, has done
extensive research with his
students on the Fore River
Shipyard.
His students recorded
oral histories of the workers
and invited Joyce and her
fellow workers to the school
for "Winnie the Welder"
tributes.
Adams said he believes
that there were many more
than 2000 at Fore River but
official records are elusive
at this time due to asbestos
lawsuits. '
Workers at Fore River
were exposed to asbestos
and to the lung diseases as-
sociated with asbestos.
Women were employed
as welders, painters, pipe
coverers, crane operators,

Hometown Sailor Recalls Exploits Of USS Quincy
By TOM HENSHAW
Dan Lyons, the retired
Quincy police detective,
served aboard the heavy
cruiser USS Quincy through
the shelling of Utah Beach
in Normandy, the transport
of President Roosevelt to
the Yalta Conference and
the bombardment of the
Japanese home islands.
But one thing bugged
him all these years.
An hour before sunset
on D-Day, June 6, 1944, a
gun crew aboard Quincy
was "credited" with shoot-
ing down a friendly British
Spitfire after someone called
out "Spitfire!" and the direc-
tor officer thought he heard
"Open fire!"
"Our task force com-
mander was so mad he told
us if it happened again he
would take away our air
cover," said Lyons. "We
wouldn't have lasted long
without air cover."
It wasn't until he re-
ceived a copy of Cruiser
Association Magazine in
the spring of 2008, some
64 years later, that Lyons
learned what really hap-
pened from retired Capt.
John R. Blackburn, the man
who called out "Spitfire"
himself.
It actually was a Spitfire
but it had been pieced to-
gether by the Germans from
downed planes and fitted
with British wing markings.
The pilot, whose body was
recovered, wore a Luftwaffe
uniform and he was flying a
reconnaissance mission over
the Allied warships.
That is only one of the
many adventures that can be
told by the crew of Quincy,
one of the most storied ships
ofWorldWarll.
Lyons joined Quincy on
her shakedown cruise off
the coast of Maine only two
months after she was com-
missioned and remained
with her complement until
July, 1946. She was decom-
missioned three months later
in Bremerton, Wash.
Quincy is believed to be
the first ship to engage ene-
my batteries off Utah Beach
at 5:37 a.m. on D-Day and
remained through June 17
in support of the troop land-
ings.
"The invasion was set for
the 5*," said Lyons. "We had
already left England when
the weather turned bad.
We were a third of the way
across when the invasion
was called off. We sailed in
circles for a day. We started
bombarding the beach about
5 o'clock.
"We fired everything
we had at them. Then we
went back to Weymouth in
England to reload. We re-
turned to the beach at flank
speed. Even the destroyers
couldn't keep up with us."
After Utah Beach, the
crew from Quincy saw action
at Cherbourg in Normandy
DAN LYONS (2008)
Quincy Sun photo/Bob
Bosworth
and Toulon and Marseilles
in southern France be-
fore returning stateside
for a very special mission
— transporting President
Roosevelt to Malta for the
Yalta Conference.
"We picked him up at
Newport News in Virginia,"
said Lyons.
"We had to put a special
elevator on the superdeck
to handle FDR because he
couldn't walk. He celebrat-
ed his 63"* birthday aboard
and we made him a cake.
"We usually wore dunga-
rees but with him aboard we
had to wear undress whites.
I worked as a machinist be-
low decks and wore dun-
garees. Every time I went
topside to eat, I'd have to
change to undress whites.
"We crossed the Atlantic
with no destroyer escort.
We were too fast for them.
We ran alone. Whenever we
made a submarine sound-
ing we'd zig zag or run at
flank speed. If they knew
Roosevelt was aboard, what
a prize that would be."
Quincy arrived in Malta
after 10 days at sea to meet
Prime Minister Winston
Churchill and his Foreign
Minister Anthony Eden,
Secretary of State Edward
Stettinius, Admiral of
the Fleet Ernest J. King,
General of the Army George
C. Marshall and other lumi-
naries.
FDR left the ship to con-
tinue to Yalta by air and
Quincy sailed to Egypt and
anchored in Great Bitter
Lake in the Suez Canal to
await the president's return.
When he was back from
the meeting with Churchill
and Joe Stalin, Roosevelt
entertained a dazzling group
of guests aboard Quincy,
including the emperor of
Ethiopia, the kings of Egypt
and Saudi Arabia and doz-
ens of Arab princes who
stayed and stayed.
"Security was very
tight," said Lyons. "We had
40 Marines aboard for the
trip. One time a destroyer
came alongside us in Great
Bitter Lake and killed a goat
for Arab's meal.
"We never saw FDR dur-
ing the trip except once in
a while sitting in a chair on
the fantail. We never saw
him standing. He looked old
DAN LYONS (1946)
and very ftail and he was
only 63"
Two months later, he was
dead.
"We took Roosevelt back
to the states and we expect-
ed to get 10 days leave when
we dropped him off," said
Lyons. "But the next thing
we knew we were on our
way to the Pacific. We went
through both the Suez and
the Panama Canals in one
month."
He found the Pacific
Theater very different from
Europe and Africa.
"'We got there and looked
around-and saw nothing," he
said. "We woke up the next
morning and there were
ships everywhere, all kinds
of ships. You said to your-
self, 'No country can lick us
now.'"
After 56 days at sea and
surviving a typhoon off the
Philippines and supporting
carrier strikes on Okinawa,
Quincy got its first look
at Japan's late war secret
weapon — the kamakazi.
The suicide planes were
first noted in the area at 1 : 30
a.m. and the anti-aircraft
gunners were rousted from
their sleep. By 4:14 a.m.,
while the crew stood at gen-
eral quarters, word came
that the kamakazi assigned
to Quincy had been shot
down.
Lyons' ship shelled
Kammaishi on Honshu
in July, 1945, the first
such bombardment of the
Japanese home islands, only
days before the first atom-
ic bomb was dropped on
Hiroshima.
Carrier strikes were sus-
pended Aug. 15 after the
second bomb was dropped
on Nagasaki and Quincy
sailed into Tokyo Bay for
occupation duty on Sept. 1,
the day before the official
surrender aboard the battle-
ship USS Missouri
"The Japanese civil-
ians were scared stiff of us
at first," said Lyons. "They
must have been told we
were going to eat them or
something."
Lyons was discharged
in July, 1946, after fighting
down the temptation to sign
over.
"I'd had enough," he
said.
He went on the spend 36
years with the C^ncy Police
Department, retiring as a de-
tective sergeant in 1990.
WORLD AFFAIRS were discussed aboard the USS Quincy by FDR and the American del-
egation en route to the Yalta Coitference with their wartime allies, Prime Minister Winston
Churchill and Soviet Dictator Joseph Stalin. From left, John Winant, ambassador to Great

273 rd Birthday
John Adams Honored
As First Education President
v'**."*"*^
By LAURA GRIFFIN
One might call John
Adams the first president
committed to educating the
country's entire citizenry.
"Education was su-
premely important to John
Adams," Arthur Ducharme
told the nearly 600 persons
commemorating the coun-
try's second president on
his 273"" birthday last week
at the Church of the Presi-
dents.
Adams didn't start out as
a scholar, according to Duc-
harme who said, "Young
Adams didn't always like
studying."
As a young boy, John
Adams' fancies were farm-
ing, fishing and flying kites.
Book learning was of little
interest.
"1 wish to be a farmer
like you," Adams told his
father.
The young boy's attitude
changed quickly though, af-
ter his father encouraged his
son to study and tested him
with an schedule of sunup to
sundown duties on the fam-
ily farm.
"He never stopped learn-
ing. His books were among
his most prized posses-
sions," said Ducharme,
adding that Adams always
stressed "the importance of
education to his children
and his country."
Ducharme, Director of
the Historic Interpretive
Program at the Church of
the Presidents, organized
the annual Adams' wreath-
laying ceremony and wel-
comed the capacity audience
to the great granite church
pi aimed, but never seen, by
John Adams.
"1 am particularly pleased
to see so many students
here," Ducharme said of the
hundreds of young visitors
from Salem State College,
Mount Ida College, Pre-
sentation of Mary School
in Methuen, Braintree and
Quincy High Schools, and
THE CHURCH OF THE PRESIDENTS' is the final resttng

State Scholarships
Honor John, Abigail Adams
The Conmionwealth of
Massachusetts, also, rec-
ognizes the Adams com-
mitment by awarding the
John and Abigail Adams
State Scholarships to state
colleges on Adams' birth-
day. This year, 17,479 stu-
dents qualified for the free
tuition program named in
his honor.
The number of new
scholars would likely
make the second presi-
dent smile, according to
the speakers at the Adams'
birthday.
And Abigail Adams
would likely be pleased
to know that 55 percent of
the state scholarship recip-
ients were women.

Conmiander William
BuUard, 3"*, led the entire
crew of the USS Constitu-
tion known as "Old Ironsid-
es" to the ceremony in a par-
ticular honor to Adams, the
found of the United States
Navy.
A Naval Honor Guard
welcomed visitors to the
church
Malika Weekes, a senior
at Woodward School For
Girls, also, described Adams
legacy on education.
"I and other students are
direct beneficiaries," Week-
es said of Adams' commit-
ment to education which
he believed "was necessary
for a good man and a useful
citizen."

tion was essential to the
success of the country and,
actually, had revolutionary
ideas about the importance
of treating children individ-
ually, according to Weeks,
Dr. Edward Fitzgerald of
the, Quincy Historical So-
ciety, and Caroline Keinath,
Deputy Supt. Of Adams Na-
tional Historic Park.
Adams believed the suc-
cess of the country would
depend "on. an educated
and informed society," said
Keinath while Weekes de-
scribed Adams' belief that a
government's duty included
an obligation "to insure the
education of its citizens."
Weekes also quoted Ad-
ams' thesis, "You will never
be alone with a poet in your
pocket."
Ironically, Adams' duties
to his country prevented him
from taking an active part
in much of his children's
education, according to Jim
Taylor, Editor and Chief,
Adams Papers, Mass. His-
torical Society.
"He never ended his in-
terest in education," said
Taylor who has read thou-
sands of Adams' papers.
However, Taylor said Ad-
ams felt he'd "robbed," his
own children.
"He was not around to
help with educating his
children .'Taylor said.
Of his three sons and
one daughter, one son, John
Quincy Adams rose to be-
come sixth president of the
United States but another
son, Charles, died of alco-
holism at a young age.
Kirtland Switzer, Presi-
dent of United First Par-
ish Church Unitarian, Rev.
Sheldon Bennett, Minister
and Mayor Thomas Koch
also welcomed the audience
which included representa-
tives from the Daughters of
the American Revolution
and visitors from as far as
California.
Following the ceremony,
the ministers and officials,
accompanied by the speak-
ers, laid the wreath atop Ad-
ams' tomb in the lower level
of the church. Several dozen
guests, then, gathered for a
layered red, white and blue
birthday cake in the church
hall.

Timmins said that the
major research and data on
environmental issues was
collected during preliminary
planning for the new high
school so that will shorten
the city's process seeking
approvals.
However, flooding issues
were a major concern for
abutters in the audience who
worried that more water will
be draining into a 42-inch
drainage pipe serving their
area.
Several residents said that
the drainage does not protect
the area now when tidal wa-
ters surcharge. Seymour re-
sponded that the track plan
will not improve conditions,
but will not worsen the situ-
ation.
During 100-year flood
episodes , Seymour conceded
that the track area will likely
flood. He added that, due to
the planned deep grass roots
and proposed soil underpin-
nings, the area will dry out
much quicker than it does
now.
Under Seymour's time-
table, the permitting process
and pre-loading or cwn-
pressing soil work would
begin this spring when the
project could go out to bid
and construction could be-
gin in May.
The track issue has split
residents and track enthusi-
asts into two camps, those
who support Faxon Field
and those who support the
previous plan for a track at
Pageant Field as proposed
by former Mayor William
Phelan.
Keeley who has been
working for a new track
for four years said the Gale
Associates proposal "...of-
fered some things that were
not planned before," such as
gates that close and two dif-
ferent shot-put areas.
As for having javelin
events across the street,
Keeley said that youngsters,
such as her son who throws
the javelin and competes in
track, would have a prob-
lem. Those students would
have a hard time running
back and forth between the
fields during meets.
The controversy is far
from over, all agreed.
"Both sides of the is-
sue aren't going to change
their minds," said Keeley
who said she'd like to see
the track built. However,
she is discouraged. Keeley
believes that Mayor Koch is
undoing years of work and
community meetings on the
track.
"It was pretty clear last
year where 1 stood on the
track," Koch said when he
addressed the issue early in
Monday's meeting.
Koch, then, described his
efforts to rejuvenate Merry-
mount Park which includes
the proposed Pageant Field
area and one of "the prettiest
spots in the city."
Timmins acknowledged
the standoff as the meeting
drew to a close.
"I do think there are
pluses and minuses to both
sites," Timmins said, but
added that, despite the short-
comings, "We have to work
with what we have."
Timmins noted the many
lavatories at Quincy High
School for visiting track
teams, and the lockers. He,
also, said he had been a track
coach and the proposed
track at Pageant Field would
expose runners to frequent
heavy wind conditions.
"It was a little bit of a
joke to build a track on a
hill," Timmins said, adding
that the Pageant Field track
would also be "facing the
bay."
The "track at Boston Col-
lege High school has such
high winds" and that makes
the B.C. High track, a diffi-
cult location for meets, ac-
cording to Timmins. .
In addition, Tinmiins
said that the administra-
tion is considering plans to
reroute traffic during major
track events and that should
address some safety con-
cerns.
After the meeting, Kee-
ley said such traffic arrange-
ments won't help students
five days a week at practice.

First Official Visit By Northeast Regional Director
Dennis Reidenbach Visits Adams National Historical Park
Regional Director Den-
nis Reidenbach was recent-
ly welcomed to Quincy and
Adams National Histori-
cal Park by Superintendent
Marianne Peak and park
staff.
This was his first official
visit as the newly appoint-
ed regional ri rector for the
Northeast Region.
At the park, he was
greeted by Adams descen-
dant, Mrs. John Quincy
Adams representing the
Adams family. Mrs. Adams
is a member of the Adams
Memorial Society and Ad-
ams Committee who work
directly with Superinten-
dent Peak and park staff in
advocacy of the National
Park Service(NPS) mission
to preserve and protect the
Adams legacy for future
generations.
Mrs. Adams also served
as a park volunteer during
the 2008 season, greeting
visitors at the NPS Visitor
Center in downtown Quin-
cy, and is now volunteering
at park headquarters on up-
dating the extensive Adams
genealogy.
Regional Director Re-
idenbach was most im-
pressed with the dynamics
of Adams family, NPS staff
and park partners and their
commitment to Adams Na-
tional Historical Park. His
message was clear that we
continue to be responsible
stewards of a most remark-
able resource representing
Adams history, the Presi-
dency and our nation. He
emphasized the role of the
NPS in education, conser-
vation and preservation, all
goals to insure the site and
its irreplaceable resources
the NPS is charged with, are
protected and managed for
future generations to enjoy.
"Children in Nature" and
"Exploring the Real Thing"
are important programs
within NPS and Adams
NHP continues its education
programs serving 25,000
students annually, providing
curriculum based programs
for teachers, students and
professors throughout the
Commonwealth.
Reidenbach also noted
that we are now living and
working in times when part-
nerships and collaborative
efforts benefit all parties and
ensure that future develop-
ment opportunities such as
"alternative transportation
programs" are realized. His
first official visit to Adams
NHP, he looks forward to
returning with family.
As regional director of
the Northeast Region, Re-
idenbach oversees parks
within 13 states and serves
over 55 million park visitors
each year. Stretching from
the Atlantic Ocean to the
Ohio River and from Maine
to Virginia, the Northeast
Region is home to a third
of all NPS museum collec-
tions, a quarter of all histor-
ic structures, almost half of
the country's National His-
toric Landmarks and more
than half of the National
Heritage Areas. Reiden-
bach has been with the Park
Service since 1983. He was
appointed superintendent of
Independence National His-
torical Park, Philadelphia, in
2005, after serving 12 years
as deputy duperintendent.
Reidenbach joined Inde-
pendence NHP as Admin-
istrative Officer in 1988,
transferring from the Mid-
Atlantic Regional Office
where he had served as the
regional chief for Contract-
ing and Property Manage-
ment since December 1983.
Prior to that, he held a num-
ber of Contract Specialist
positions since he joined the
federal government in 1976,
first with the Department of
Defense then with the Gen-
eral Services Administra-
tion. Reidenbach, a native
of Pennsylvania, holds a
Bachelor of Arts degree in
business administration and
political science from Grove
City College. He lives in
Glenside, PA with his wife
Kristine, and they have two
sons.
After meeting park staff,
Reidenbach premiered the
2008 park program with
park staff and a presentation
by Superintendent Peak that
set the stage for park ac-
complishments throughout
the season. Of special note
was park visitation increas-
ing 150%, bookstore sales
up 83%, and special events
and programs highlighting
partnerships, facility man-
agement, preservation and
conservation projects.
Along with Superin-
tendent Peak and Deputy
Superintendent Caroline
Keinath, Reidenbach toured
Squantum Point Park at Ma-
rina Bay with a local dele-
gation of public and private
partners. It was at Squantum
Point Park that the regional
director saw the potential
of waterfront transportation
linking at least four national
parks including Adams Na-
tional Historical Park, Bos-
ton Harbor Islands, New
Bedford Whaling and Cape
Cod National Seashore
through waterfront trans-
portation along the Massa-
chusetts Cultural Coast.
Superintendent Peak
noted that "Adams NHP has
been the recipient of several
grants for funding to expand
transportation through the

MAYOR THOMAS KOCH (left) and Marianne Peak, superintendant of the Adams National
Historical Park, recently welcomed Dennis Reidenbach, National Park Service regional direc-
tor, Northeast Region, from Philadelphia to the Quincy National Park Site. Reidenbach over-
sees parks within 13 states and serves over 55 million park visitors each year. During his visit,
Reidenbach offered very complimentary remarks with regard to the productive summer season
at the Quincy National Park location and for the hard work of Peak and her staff. He promised
to work closely with state and city officials as well as local business leaders to showcase the local
historic site that is currently experiencing national attention, in part from the HBO award-
winning mini-series "John Adams."

visitors use in accessing
the historic sites compris-

Quincy. Adams NHP con-
tinues to pursue ATP fund-
ing to enhance an already
successful program at the
park, and we look forward
to working with public and
private partners to explore
greater opportunities for

funding for Adams NHP,
Congressman William Dela-
hunt continues to support
additional funding for ferry

Quincy Mayor Thomas
Koch, along with local con-
stituents, business represen-
tatives and park partners
welcomed Regional Direc-
tor Reidenbach to Quincy,
and noted in his welcom-
ing remarks to the Direc-
tor, "Quincy has a national
treasure in its community
and takes great pride in the
mission and conunitment of
the National Park Service in
its role and responsibility as
stewards of such a remark-
able resource. No doubt,
Quincy is the beneficiary of
a NPS presence, David Mc-
Cullough's book JOHN AD-
AMS and Tom Hanks' HBO
Mini-series, all calling atten-
tion to the life and times and
contributions John Adams
made to our country within
our great city of Quincy.
The time is now to work in
partnership with the Nation-
al Park Service to premiere
Quincy, home to two Presi-
dents of the United States,
and as a result provide our
community and visitors to
this national park, a most re-
warding experience."
Following the coffee. Su-
perintendent Peak escorted
the Regional Director on a
tour of the park experiencing
the world of the Adamses
with Deputy Superintendent
Car61ine Keitiath, Curator
Kelly Cobble, and Facility
Manager Kevin Kelly and
was engaged in the magni-
tude of the cultural resource
and story.
Another exciting oppor-
tunity for the Regional Di-
rector was to tour the Doro-
thy Quincy Homestead with
Ethel Hamann, member of
the Colonial Dames of Mas-
sachusetts. The Homestead,
owned by the Common-
wealth, was designated a
National Historic Landmark
by the U. S. Department of
the Interior, National Park
Service, in 2005.

Vice President and Editor-
in-Chief of Nursing Spec-
trum, who talked about
"Nursing Image - Ours to
Protect and Project."
"Our goal in putting this
seminar together was to pro-
vide a forum for nurses to
take a good long look at our
profession, and ourselves as
nurses, and provide some
insight into where we are
headed in the future," said
QMC's Carol MUler, RN,
seminar chair. "Judging by
the feedback we have re-
ceived from participants,
sponsors and presenters,
the day was a complete suc-
cess."
Also presented at the
seminar were results from
a survey on nursing image
conducted at Quincy Medi-
cal Center and Jordan Hos-
pital over a two-week pe-
riod. The survey shed light
on nurses' views through
questions, such as "do you
consider nursing a job or a
profession?" A panel discus-
sion ensued following the
reporting of data garnered
from the survey.
Sponsors for the seminar
included Kindred Health-
care, Old Colony Hospice,

care Center, Sanofi-Aventis,

the concentration of oxygen
to the user while excess nat-
urally escapes to the atmo-
sphere within a room, and
certainly within the immedi-
ate vicinity of the individual
using it.
The substantially in-
creased concentration will
cause a fire to ignite eas-
ily and bum at a far greater
intensity. Consequently,
oxygen saturated clothing,
upholstered furniture; fab-
ric, hair and anything in the
area will ignite easier and
bum at a far greater rate and
intensity than they would in
a normal 21% atmosphere.
Thus the problem and our
concerns while the State
Fire Marshal offers a few
examples:
March 2004, a fatal fire
occurred when a roommate
was using oxygen and a
cigarette ignited a piece of
bedroom furniture.
January 2004, a resi-
dent used home oxygen for
a medical condition and
dropped a cigarette igniting
the living room couch.
October 2003, an indi-
vidual sufiTered bums to her
face when she lit a cigarette
while her oxygen supply
was still on.
June 2003, a man died in
a flash fire even after shut-
ting off his oxygen supply
when his oxygen-enriched
clothing caught fire as he lit
a cigarette.
Never smoke or light a
match while using oxygen
or within a home where
oxygen is in use. A home
can still be an oxygen-en-
riched environment, even if
a system is shutoff. Keep all
flame and heat sources away
from containers and systems .
Post a sign at the entry door
specifying: NO SMOKING-
OXYGEN USE.
Make certain the home
is equipped with properly
maintained working smoke
detectors. Be familiar with
your evacuation options
from your room, house or
apartment. Call 911 to sum-
mon help if needed.
It is sad to think that in
some cases the same habit
leading many to depend on
oxygen is the same habit
that substantially raises the
risk factor if continued. Yet
many cannot discontinue
cigarette use. It is that in-
ability that concerns; we
can only attempt to alert
and educate oxygen users of
the risk associated with the
practice of smoking.
Please be mindful of the
risks of home oxygen use
and be safe while using it.

STOP BEING SUCH A HEEL
There are 26 bones in the
human foot, of which the
heel is the largest. Beside
the heel bone, there are sev-
eral ligaments, tendons, and
muscles which can affect the
way the heel works and feels.
Some heel pain stems from
a obvious injury while other
pain is caused by a conditbn
that buikJs up over time. The
pain is almost always made
better by rest, ice, and/or
anti-inflammatory medicine.
If these options do not work,
a podiatrist should be con-
tacted. General heel pain
is often a sign of abnonnal
stress in the area of the heel.
Wearing the wrong kind of
shoe, walking barefoot (es-
pecially on hard or uneven
surf»»s). or being over-
weight can cause this pain.
Bearing ail of the body's
weight with every step, the
heel is subject to consider-
able stress. Weight gain,
high impact athletic activi-
ties, even prolonged walk-
ing or standing increase
such stress. When heel pain
is the body's answer to this
stress, there are treatments
available to eliminate the
problem. Any treatment,
however, begins with a call
to your podiatrist. We are
located at QUINCY MEDI-
CAL CENTER, with of-
fice hours also available at
999 North Main St., in the
Randolph Medk^ Office
Buikling, and Milton Medi-
cal Buikling In Suite 221.
Please call 781-986-3668
for an appointment. I am af-
filiated with the Brockton and

Coyotes In Quincy Presentation,
Guided Walk Nov. 15
Central's Eighth Graders
To Honor Civil War Hero
Coyote expert Jonathan
Way will present free slide
and video show exploring
the life cycle and urbanized
habitat of the remarkable
Eastern Coyote Saturday,
Nov. 15 at 1 p.m. at the
Thomas Crane Public Li-
brary, 40 Washington St.,
Quincy.
The coyote is one of the
only carnivores to actu-
ally increase its range and
distribution in the past 100
years. Coyotes have taken
over as top predator in all
environments in New Eng-
land, from wilderness parks
to city greenbelts. With
photographs and video
clips of coyotes in the wild,
Jonathan Way will describe
what the animal is, how it
got here, and why it is here,
and answer questions about
coyote ecology and how to
live with coyotes in your
neighborhood.
Author of Suburban
Howls: Tracking the East-
ern Coyote in Urban Mas-
sachusetts, Jonathan Way
began his research on coy-
otes while at Barnstable
High School on Cape Cod.
He received his B.S. from
the University of Massa-
chusetts at Amherst, M.S.
A Quincy soldier who
died 147 years ago, one of
the first casualties of the
Civil War, will be recog-
nized by the kids in his old
hometown on Veterans Day.
Eighth grade students at
Central Middle School will
lay a wreath on the grave
of Francis Souther Monday,
Nov. 10, at 10 a.m. in Mount
Wollaston Cemetery.
Souther, a Quincy native,
was killed June 10, 1861 in
the Battle of Big Bethel in
Hampton County, Virginia,
widely recognized as the
first major battle in the War
Between the States.
Nov. 10 was chosen as
the date to lay the wreath
because there is no school
on Veterans Day, Nov. 1 1 .
The rain date for the wreath-
laying is Wednesday, Nov.
12, at 10 a.m.
Students will read origi-
nal tributes they have writ-
ten to honor the sacrifices
of Souther and others who
have served in the United
States military.
"It is important for our
students to honor our vet-
erans and all the men and
women currently serving
in the military," said Bill
Pavao, the students' history
teacher.
"Seeing war through the
eyes of one soldier, some-
one from our own city, can
help students make sense
of the sacrifices and human
costs of war."
A FREE slide and video presentation exploring the life cycle
and urbanized habitat of the Eastern Coyote will be led by
coyote expert Jonathan Way Saturday, Nov. 15
from the University of
^Saturday Fun' Continues At Library
Connecticut at Storrs, and
Ph.D. from Boston College-
-all related to his coyote re-
p.m.. Way will lead a walk
through coyote habitat in
the Marina Bay area of
Quincy. The walk will meet
search. Way's main interest at the parking area on Com-
encapsulates the study of mander Shea Blvd. near
predators inhabiting urban-
ized ecosystems. "Suburban
Howls" will be available for
sale after the presentation.
The presentation is not
suitable for children under
age 6.

Space Heater
Trips Circuit
Breaker
Q, I have a space heater
• that, every time I
turn it on, causes the cir«
cuit to shut off almost
immediately. Is there
something wrong with the
wiring in my house? —
David L, Lexington, Ky.
A .My first inclination is
• that something is
wrong with the space heater,
not the wiring. Many space
heaters draw a lot of power,
but a heater that regularly
trips circuits may be faulty.
Run through a short check-
list first: Do you plug the
heater into the same wall
outlet every time, or have
you tried it throughout the
house? Are there other elec-
trical appliances sharing the
same circuit? Is the space
heater in good condition and
less than 10 years old? Do
the plug and power cord get
very hot when using the
heater? Is the outlet being
used in good condition?
Does the heater's plug fit
snugly into it? Does any oth-
er appliance trip the circuit
when plugged into it?
If you cannot find anything
wrong with either the space
heater or the outlet, and
there are few or no other
appliances sharing the cir-
cuit, first take the space
heater to an appliance ser-
vice center to be checked by
a professional (never try to
repair a space heater your-
self).
Should nothing be found
wrong with the space heater,
contact an electrician to
inspect your home's wiring.
Some quick tips on using
portable space heaters safe-
ly: Never place a heater on
furniture; place it on the
floor instead. Clear several
feet of space around the
heater. Don't run the power
cord underneath a rug, and
avoid using an extension
cord, if possible. If you must
use one, use only a UL- or
ETL-rated extension cord
marked No. 12 or No. 14
AWG (indicating the wire
gauge).

Ideas For Kitchens And Baths
Small Projects Can Have Significant Impact
(ARA) - Today's sag-
ging economy may make
you hesitant to tackle large
home improvement projects.
With home values continu-
ing to decline, credit options
contracting and sales in a
slimip, there's not a lot of
good news for homeowners
hoping for a huge return on
investment for large-scale
remodels.
According to the Na-
tional Association of Real-
tors, a full-scale renovation
doesn't return what it used
to. In 2006, home sellers got
only 80 percent of their re-
modeling costs back, down
from 91 percent in 2005.
But what about smaller,
yet significant, upgrades?
"Don't fixate on each im-
provement's immediate
payback," advises Josh
Garskof, Money Magazine
contributing writer. "When
you get around to selling
after the market improves,
you'll probably recoup
most (though not all) of the
costs."
If you're willing to tackle
those smaller home projects
now, start with two rooms
that typically offer a great
return on investment ~ the
kitchen and bath.
Kitchen Face Lift
In the kitchen, start with
the largest, and typically the
most costly project ~ cabi-
nets. If your existing cabi-
nets are solid wood and in
fairly good condition^ you
may be able to give them a
new look with a simple paint
job or resurfacing. Not only
will you save money on pur-
chasing new cabinets, but
you will also help the envi-
ronment by reusing your
current cabinets instead of
sending them to a landfill.
It's simple to change out
existing cabinet door panels
with new decorative fillers,
such as glass, stainless steel
or tin. Or, sand and repaint
your current cabinets to cre-
ate a completely new and
updated look.

Granite countertops
make a stuiming upgrade,
but if a complete coimter-
top overhaul is not in your
budget, you can still select a
feature area in your kitchen.
Focusing on an area, such as
a kitchen island, to install
granite tile can achieve an
upscale look at a much more
affordable price.
Decorative details, such
as faucets and fixtures, go a
long way in improving the
style of your kitchen. Con-
sider upgrading to a new
kitchen faucet that improves
both aesthetics and fimction-
ality. The new Level kitchen
faucet from Moen features
sleek and contemporary
lines that coordinate beau-
tifully with today's modem
interiors. Plus, Level's pull
down wand simplifies ev-
eryday tasks, such as filling
large pots, pitchers and vas-
es in and around the sink.
Bathroom Refresh
In the bath, you have
plenty of room for improve-
ment ~ from painting to
plumbing. But where do you
start? An elegant and afford-
able showpiece will make
a huge impact in this small
space. For an inexpensive
and eco-fnendly project, try
repurposing an old dresser
or buffet into a bathroom
vanity. Top that vanity off
with a stimning centerpiece,
like Moen's Rothbury bath-
room faucet, featuring cot-
CENTURY 21

Across from CVS &Wollastoo MBTA Station
tage styling and a variety
of decorative finishes. Plus,
Rothbury bathroom faucets
feature a flow-optimized,
water-saving aerator, which
uses 30 percent less water,
without sacrificing perfor-
mance. To carry the look of
your new vanity throughout
the bath, install matching tub
and shower fixtures, as well
as coordinating accessories,
like towel bars, robe hooks,
a pivoting paper holder and
a tank lever, all available
within Moen's Rothbury
collection.
Similar to old fixtures,
almost nothing dates a
bathroom more than tired,
cracked linoleum or an out-
dated floor pattern. A new
floor can lend fresh vitality
to the bathroom, particularly
using today's cost-effective
resilient sheet flooring ~ it
offers an attractive option
for a high-end appearance
with the latest styles and
patterns in a wide array of
colors, designs and textures.
One such example, Tarkett's
FiberFloor resilient flooring,
stands up to what consum-
ers desire most in their new
bath ~ warmth and comfort;
water- and moisture-resis-
tance; scratch-, stain- and
indentation-resistance; and
of course, easy cleaning.
Once you have complet-
ed updates to your kitchen
and bath, consider oppor-
tunities in the rest of your
home. Try purchasing EN-
ERGY STAR-qualified ap-
pliances, which incorporate
advanced technologies that
use 10 to 50 percent less
energy and water than stan-
dard models. New paint and
window treatments help to
change the mood of a room.
Bookshelves are a great way
to fill empty space, adding
charm and character. And,
as a finishing touch, add-
ing a fresh coat of paint and
a new decorative handle to
your fix)nt door will create
a welcoming tone for your
entire home.

A Job Well Done
On Monday, October 27, 2008, at approximately
2:24 a.m., Officers Jay Grazioso and Mike Powers
were dispatched to Sam's
Restaurant on School Street
on a "Breaking and Enter-
ing in progress." The un-
named caller stated that
someone had smashed a
window and entered the
business. Upon arrival. Of-
ficer Powers approached
the restaurant and wit-
nessed a male suspect in-
side the closed restaurant.
The suspect was stand-
ing in the middle of the restaurant attempting to eat
a muffin when he noticed the Officer. The suspect
took off running toward the back of the restaurant
by going through the swinging door that separates
the dining area from the kitchen. Officer Powers ran
to the back of the restaurant believing that the sus-
pecjt was attempting to flee out the back door. The.
Officer ran down Gay Street then into the parking
lot behind the restaurant, where he saw the suspect
run out the back door sprinting to the far left comer
of the parking lot. The suspect still had the muffin
in this hand. Officer Powers gave chase as he identi-
fied himself as a Quincy Police Officer, ordering him
to stop. The suspect continued running away, then
threw the muffin to the ground as he attempted to
jump a chain-linked fence at the far left of the park-
ing lot. Officer Powers was able to pull the suspect
down from the fence and take him to the ground
where he actively resisted until Officer James Menz
arrived to assist in handcuffing the suspect.
The suspect was given his Miranda Rights and then
said that he is friends with the owners of Sam's Res-
taurant, that he is diabetic and needed food so
he broke into' the business. When asked about hi$
criminal record, the suspect stated that he has been
arrested about 7 times, but never for B&E's, then ,
recanted and admitted that he had been. The suspect
kept stating that the only reason he broke in was bC"
cause he was diabetic and needed food. He i^Her-
ated that he knows the owners very well!
Dispatch called the owner who arrived on
scene. Officers noted that a window was smashed out
on the right side of the buifding and on the ground in-
side adjacent to the broken glass was a rock. It ap-
pears that the suspect used the rock to gain entry
through the window. Outside in the rear lot just out-
side of the back door was a blueberry muffin and
a steel tire iron lying on the ground. The owner
stated that they did not know the suspect and did not
have permission to be in the building. Due to the
quick response by the Officers, the suspect took only
a muffin out of the restaurant.
The suspect, a 44-year-old Quincy resident, has
66 arraignments on his criminal record, includ-
ing over 30 B&E/larceny type crimes. His career
of crime dates back to 1981 and he has served sig-
nificant jail/prison time. The suspect in thiscase was
charged with "B«feE nighttime w/ intent to commit a
felony. Larceny from building. Malicious destruc-
tion of property (the window). Possession of bur-
glarious instrument (tire iron) and Resisting arrest.
The suspect also had warrants out of Hull for Bur-
glary and Quincy for B&E in the Nighttime.
Nice Work!
■ Q
^*Uimained Caller" - In this case, the caller
was anonymous but did provide information that
responding Officers could corroborate, which sub-
sequently led to the arrest. Although we prefer citi-
zens identify themselves to show an increased level
of credibility, it is not required as long as there is
sufficient information for the Officer to conduct an
investigation.
Q
PAST BREAKS AND ATTEMPTS: Miller
Stile Road, Bigelow Street, Taffrail Road, 200 block
of Sea Street, low numbers of Water Street, 200

Salome's
Stars
ARIES (March 2 1 to April
19) You enjoy the attention
early in the week, but it
might be a good idea to opt
for some privacy by week's
end so that you can have
more time to consider an
upcoming decision.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) You unearth some sur-
prising facts. Now you need
to consider how to use them
to your advantage. Mean-
while, it might be best to
keep what you've learned
secret for now.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) A comment by a col-
league piques your curiosity
to know more. Best advice:
You'll find people more like-
ly to offer information if
you're discreet when making
your inquiries.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Your energy levels begin
to rise by midweek. This
allows you to catch up with
your heavy workload and
still have plenty of get-up-
and-go to go out on the town
this weekend.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) You're probably roaring
your head off about a per-
ceived slight from a long-
time critic. Ignore it. That
person might just be trying
to goad you into doing some-
thing you might later regret.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) The early part
of the week is op)en to spon-
taneity. Then it's time to set-
tle into your usual routine to
get all your tasks done. A
personal situation could
require more attention from
you.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) A meeting of the
minds on a workplace pro-
ject might well develop into
something more personal for
Librans looking for
romance. Aspects are also
favorable for platonic rela-
tionships.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 2 1 ) A more-posi-
tive mood might be difficult
to assume in light of a recent
problem involving the health
of someone special. But by
week's end, your emotional
barometer should start to
rise.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21)
Look for a changed attitude
from a former adversary
once he or she realizes you
have your colleagues' full
support. Now you can refo-
cus your energies on that
workplace project.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) This time,
a difference of opinion might
not be resolved in your favor.
But be patient. It could all
ultimately work out to your
advantage, as new informa-
tion begins to develop.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 1 8) A tug of war
develops between the artistic
Aquarian's creative aspect
and his or her practical side.
Best advice: Prioritize your
schedule so you can give
appropriate time to both.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) You could be
entering a career phase
awash with job-related
demands. But avoid being
swamped by the overflow
and, instead, keep treading
water as you deal with
demands one by one.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
are an exceptionally loyal
person, and you're respected
for your ability to keep the
secrets entrusted to you.

Staying Healthy
TTiis Winter
Winters are sometimes dif-
ficult, but there are steps we
can take to stay healthy dur-
ing cold weather.
• Ask your doctor if you
should get a flu shot and
inquire about the pneumonia
vaccine as well. This year
there is plenty of flu vaccine
to go around. To fmd loca-
tions in your area that are
giving shots, go to www.flu-
cliniclocator.org and put in
your ZIP code. You can also
call your local health depart-
ment or hospital for infor-
mation about locations. If
you have Medicare Part B,
the shot is free.
• If your grocery store pro-
vides antiseptic wipes in the
cart area, use those on the
handles and seat to kill
germs that are likely linger-
ing.
• Guard against hypother-
mia when you venture out-
doors. Not only do you need
to dress warmly, but good
nutrition can help the body
weather a chill. Wear a hat!
Heat rises, and we lose the
majority of our body heal
through the top of our head!
Fingers and toes need spe-
cial care, too. Mittens pro-
vide more warmth than
gloves.
• Even indoors we need to
stay warm — staying chilled
for too long lowers the
body's resistance to germs.
Light layers of clothing utip
body heat better than one
thick layer.
• The floors where you live
might be colder than the rest
of the room, even if you have
carpet. Check doors to see if
there is a draft coming in at
the bottom. Even a roUed-up
towel can block cold air and
conserve heat in the room.
• Beware electrical room
heaters. If you have an old
one, check with senior ser-
vices in your area to see if
they are giving out new
ones. Be sure to keep the
heater away from furniture
or anything flammable.

LINGERING PROBLEM
It sometimes happens that a
permanent tooth grows behind
rather than directly below a pri-
maiy tooth. Usually, the over-
retained baby tooth will fall out
of its own accord to make way
for the emerging permanent
teeth. If it doesnl, the linger-
ing primaty tooth may have to
be extracted to give the new
permanent tooth a chance to
position itself properly. Most
chiWren who experience this
doubling up of primary and per-
manent teeth do so only once.
When doubling up does occur,
it usually involves the bottom
central incisors, and should
not be a source of concern.
However, when over-retention
involves a top central incisor,
it is often a sign of overcrowd-
ing, which can inhibit ftossing.
We have expertise in prov-
ing care for both cNldren and
adults with a variety of special
healthcare needs. We are a
highly qualified and experi-
enced team of oral health care
professionals. We will discuss
all of your options with yo.
We're located at 44 Greenleaf
Street, where our entire staff is
thoroughly trained, skilled and
sensitive to your needs Our
goal is to make each visit to our
office a comfortable and posi-
tive experience. Call us today
at 617-479-6220 to schedule
an appointment. We offer ttie
sen/ices of anesthesiok)gy with
a fully trained and qualified an-
esthesiologist. Visit us on the
web at www.qulncydentist.com.
P.S. Over-retention of a
primary tooth may be due
to a root that does not re-
sort property or a root that is
ngtatfy fused (ankylosed) to
thejawtxyie.

(NAPSA)-For thos6 who
want to adopt a healthier
lifestyle, reducing fat and
cutting calories is often at
the top of their to-do list,
Many start by reduc-
ing their intake of refined
and packaged foods-such
as siiack foods and bakery
products-made with hydro-
genated vegetable oil.
While it is important to
eliminate empty-calorie
"junk" fat and unhealthy sat-
urated fat, it is also true that
some fats are highly ben-
eficial. For example, the fats
in oily fish-such as salmon,
mackerel and sardines-and
in nuts and seeds can help
to supply unsaturated fatty
acids, particularly omega-3
fatty acids, which are im-
portant for general health.
Eliminating or reducing fat
is a way to manage calories
and adopt a healthier life-
style.
When it comes to reduc-
ing calories, sugar and high-
fructose com syrup are often
among the first ingredients
to be targeted for elimina-
tion by those who want to
cut empty calories.
Many fruit juices are very
sugary, like soft drinks, and
should be diluted with wa-
ter or avoided al- together.
A good way to reduce sugar
intake may be a new line of
nutritionally fortified juice
beverages that have only 10
calories per 8-ounce serv-
ing.
There are no preserva-
tives or sugars added, and
the drinks are said to be an
answer for consumers who
are watching their sugar and
carbohydrate intake and are
ideal for diabetics.
Plus, these refreshing
and hydrating drinks-called
Drenchers Fit and Lean
Super Juice beverages-are
designed to offer consum-
ers the added benefit of fea-
turing specific nutritional
supplements that address
specific needs, including
fortification specific to a
need.
The beverage line con-
sists of five single-minded,
nutritional benefit-driven
products, all containing a
fortification package of es-
sential vitamins, nutrients,
amino acids, electrolytes and
herbs called Bodyguard.
According to Chris New,
founder, chairman and CEO
of NBI Juiceworks, produc-
ers and distributors of the
drinks, the line fills a need
by offering targeted nutri-
tion and reduced calories in
a single product.

A^or//i Quincy Hosts Middleboro Friday At 6 P.M.
Raiders In Running For
Division Championship
Sun Sports
By SEAN BRENNAN
First-place in the Patriot
League's Fisher Division
will be up-for-grabs Friday
night as four local teams
have the opportunity to lay
claim to the title of division
champion.
The Fisher Division win-
ner, whoever it may be come
Saturday morning, will play
the champion of the Keenan
Division, which will be de-
cided by the winner of the
Silver Lake-Duxbury game,
also scheduled for Friday
night, in the inaugural Pa-
triot Bowl on Nov. 14. The
winner of this game will ad-
vance to the state playoffs.
Here is the scenario:
North Quincy, Rockland,
Hanover and Middleboro all
currently have a 3-1 -divi-
sion record entering the fi-
nal week of Fisher Division
play. The Raiders will play
Middleboro (Friday 6 p.m..
Veterans Memorial Stadi-
um) while Hanover will take
a road trip to Rockland.
If North Quincy (6-2
overall) defeats Middleboro
(4-4 overall) and Hanover
(5-3 overall) knocks off
Rockland (3-5 overall), the
Raiders will capture the di-
vision title based on the fact
that North beat Hanover 21-
14 on Oct. 24. If the Raid-
ers win and Rockland beats
Hanover then Rockland
will be division champions
based on the fact that they
beat North Quincy 23-14 on
Oct. 17.
If the Raiders lose, all
bets are off.
"We all beat each other
so it will come down to a
tiebreaker between the two
Friday night winners," said
North Quincy head coach
Jim Connor. "The tiebreaker
is head-to-head records and
since we beat Hanover, if
they were to win, we would
advance. If we win and
Rockland beats Hanover,
then Rockland will move
on since they beat us last
month.
"The exciting thing about
FOOTBALL
North Quincy - 34
Randolph - 6
it is that with one division
game remaining there are
four schools with a chance
to move on. It just shows
how competitive the whole
Patriot League is this year.
If you include Silver Lake
and Duxbury, you have half
the league playing for some-
thing in the final week."
The Raiders may be close
to achieving one of their
goals-winning a division
title-but Connor is doing his
best to make sure his team
focuses on the task at hand
and that is beating Middle-
boro. The rest will take care
of itself.
"When push comes to
shove we need to take care
of our business," he added.
"We need to beat Middle-
boro. They are a good team.
Last week they beat Rock-
land 33-0 and we lost to
Rockland earlier this sea-
son.
"The one thing we need
to make sure does not hap-
pen is that we don't beat
ourselves. We can't allow
that to happen. If Middle-
boro beats us, they beat us
and we move on. We don't
want to beat ourselves and
that is something that we
have been good at avoiding
all season long. Lets hope it
continues this week."
When the 2008 season
started back in early Sep-
tember, Connor wasn't sure
what type of team he had
and he wasn't sure what
type of competition the Pa-
triot League would offer.
With one week of play left,
the answers are starting to
come into focus.
"I knew that this was go-
ing to be a good league and
to see how competitive it is
has been a lot of fun. Now,
not only do we get to play
great football teams, but
also we don't have to travel
four hours to do so. It has
worked out well.
"Our team has played
all season focusing on one-
game-at-a-time and it has
worked. We have put our-
selves in a position to do
something great and if we
keep playing the way we
have all year against Mid-
dleboro things may work
out."
The toughest scenario for
the Raiders would be to beat
a good Middleboro team
Friday and have Rockland
defeat Hanover. If that were
to happen, Rockland would
move on to the Patriot Bowl
despite having a lesser over-
all record. But according
to Connor, if that were to
happen, that is the price his
team will pay for losing to
the Bulldogs in October.
"It would be tough be-
cause we would have a bet-
ter overall record, but that is
the way the tiebreakers play
out. Rockland beat us. But if
we don't win Friday night it
makes no difference."
North Quincy got to 3-1
in the Fisher Division by
defeating Randolph High
School 34-6 on Oct. 30.
A stifling defensive effort
(six sacks, one first down
allowed in the first-half)
helped propel the Raiders
to victory and an all-around
solid display by the offense
dropped 34 points on the
Blue Devils.
Senior running back Pat
Watkins and junior running
back Terrence Staley both
scored in the first-half. Wat-
kins scored from four-yards
out and Staley from eight-
yards out.
The offense capped
off the impressive perfor-
mance with three fourth
quarter touchdowns. Junior
quarterback Mike Stanton
scored on a one-yard sneak;
Stanton connected with se-
nior Matt Jay on a 14-yard
touchdown pass and senior
running back Joe Vialpando
finished off the scoring with
a four-yard touchdown run.

North Quincy Girls' Soccer Eliminated From Postseason
By SEAN BRENNAN
A 3- 1 loss last Wednesday
afternoon to Scituate High
School officially eliminated
the North Quincy Red Raid-
ers from postseason conten-
tion; the loss also ended the
Raiders eleven-year run as
postseason participants.
"It was not because of
lack of effort," said NQ
head coach Paul Bregoli.
"Scituate is a good team, but
as was the case all season
long, we had our chances to
score but just could not fin-
ish when we had the oppor-
tunities."
The Raiders found them-
selves down 1-0 just ten
minutes into the first-half,
but behind the leadership
and play of senior captain
Brittany Folkins, North
Quincy evened the score at
1-1 with eight minutes to go
until the halftime whistle.
The game-tying goal
came off of a perfect comer
kick from Folkins. The kick
wound its way into the box
where junior forward Cara
Murtagh buried a header
into the back of the net, ty-
ing the score at 1-1.
"Brittany placed a per-
fect kick into the box and
Cara finished it off," said
Bregoli. "It was an impres-
sive play and at the time the
goal looked like it may push
us forward the rest of the
way."
The Raiders did enter
the break tied at 1-1, but
two other golden first-half
scoring chances came back
to bite North Quincy in the
end. Both Lindsay Reilly
and Amy Carchedi had
chances to score off the right
midfield position in the first-
half, but neither could finish
around the net and instead
of playing with a lead, the
Raiders were forced to push
the issue in the second half.
"We had our chances to
take the lead but could not
capitalize," added Bregoli.
"That is the way it goes
sometimes."
The second-half went
scoreless for the first twenty
minutes until Scituate took a
2-1 lead. Trailing by a goal,
the Raiders went into attack
mode. And the strategy al-

most paid off. Late in the
half, Reilly spotted Murtagh
open on the left side of the
pitch but the connection was
just off and the scoring op-
portunity went by the books.
Scituate would score their
third goal of the game in the
final minute.
"Reilly and Murtagh
were off by a split second,"
said Bregoli. "Another scor-
ing chance that we could not
finish. But I have to give the
team credit. The girls played
hard up until the end and
they have nothing to hang
the heads on."
Playing well against Sci-
tuate were juniors Sammi
Bonanni, Devon McKay
and Kristen Peterson.
Senior goalkeeper Siob-
han Camell continued her
stellar play.
With their postseason
dreams dashed, the Raid-
ers finished the 2008 season
last Friday afternoon with a
tough 2-0 non-league loss to
Somerville High School.
The score may have read
0-0 at halftime, but accord-
ing to Bregoli, his team
came out flat and played a
poor first-half of soccer.
"We didn't start the game
well," he said. "We were
flat-footed in the back and
were unorganized on of-
fense. The score was 0-0
at the half, but Somerville
scored two quick goals to
open the second-half and we
could not respond."
Bregoli singled out the
play of Logan White and
Sara Gardiner as two play-
ers who played their best
games of the season.
Even with the eleven-
year postseason run over,
Bregoli focused on the posi-
tives, and he is looking for-
ward to starting a brand new
postseason streak next fall.
"We had trouble all sea-
son scoring goals (19 goals,
20 games played). But with
two games to play in our
season we were right there
with a chance. I told the
girls that they could hold
their heads high. It didn't
work out the way we would
have liked but it was a good
season overall."
Bregoli also spoke highly
of his four captains, Camell,
Jillian O'Brien, Folkins and
Amy Carchedi, and the job
they did this season with
this team.
"We didn't have that one
superstar, but we did have
four captains who lead by
example and showed tre-
mendous leadership. All of
them were respected and all
of them will be missed next
fall."
The Raiders will gradu-
ate 13 seniors off this year
team. They include Camell,
O'Brien, Folkins, Carchedi,
Reilly, Kerry Donaghey,
Molly Clifford, Jess Hewl-
ett, Lily Man, Rachel Gra-

Collins and Taylor O'Neill.

Managing Director
May we all live to sec the day when
disputes between all nations will be decided
fairly in an atmosphere of friendship and
good will. While that is still only a hope, let
Veterans'Day remind us that the strength,
the courage, and the will to sacrifice which
brought victory in wars are needed today
to keep the peace in an uneasy world.
Veterans' Day serves to remind us that
peace and justice will prevail only when and where we have the
strength to defend it.
As we approach Veterans' Day, it seems that there are some
discontented who shun convictions or allegiances to any cause or
principle. Pursuit of such a philosophy to its logical conclusion is
an abandonment of observation of all the milestones in the history
of our nation or in the history of mankind, for that matter.
History reveals that through the years there was an overwhelm-
ing dedication and belief in the United States. Patriotism was
not something to be ashamed of or submerged in cynicism - nor
were liberty, the principles of self-government or the American
economic and political system. Strong convictions commanded
respected, and no one doubted our destiny as a nation . . . And so,
on this Veterans' Day, let us turn out in tribute, because we wish
to reafHrm those beliefs that make our nation great and which so
many of our fellowmen gave up their lives.

Presidents Campaign Against Sailors Falls Short
The Quincy Presidents
suffered their third one-
point loss of the season last
Friday night against Scitu-
ate High School. The final
score: 14-13.
Quincy (3-5 overall, 1-3
in the Keenan Division) had
previously lost by a single
point to Cohasset (28-27,
Sept. 5) and Canton (8-7,
Sept. 12). The Presidents
have won a one-point game
this year. That 7-6 win was
FOOTBALL
Quincy - 13
Scituate- 14
against Rockland on Oct. 3.
A point here or there and
Quincy would be looking at
a 5-3 overall record, but that
is not how things played out
and with just two games re-
maining on the schedule, the
Presidents will be shooting
for a .500 finish at best.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Presidents will play
Hingham this weekend and
will dose out the 2008 cam-
paign against North (Juincy
in the 76th annual Thanks-
giving Day game.
Things started off bumpy
against the Sailors. The
first quarter saw Scituate 's
Chrysto Brown gash the
Presidents' defense for a
76-yard touchdown run.
Matt Stewart's point after
attempt was successful and
after Quincy 's two posses-
sions of the quarter yielded
no points, the score after
one quarter of play was 7-0
Scituate.
But Quincy turned it
on in the second and third
quarters. Playing aggres-
sive defense and even more
aggressive on offense, the
Presidents responded to the
Sailors big play with a huge
play of their own right be-
fore halftime.

nected with senior wide re-
ceiver Anthony Raddatz (2
TDs) on an 87-yard touch-
down pass and after Mark
Gilbody kicked the PAT the
two teams went into half-
time tied at 7-7.
In the third quarter, the
Peterson-Raddatz combina-
tion struck again. A 14-yard
touchdown pass put Quincy
up 13-7. But Gilbody 's PAT
attempt was blocked; a play
that would later become the
difference in the game as
Quincy ended up losing by
one-point.
Scituate 's defense came
up with a game-changing
play in the fourth quarter.
Peterson had a pass intend-
ed for Raddatz picked off
and returned 48-yards to the
house by Brendan Perkins.
A successful PAT gave the
Sailors a 14-13 lead, a lead
that held up the rest of the
way.
Playing well for Quincy
on the defensive side of the
ball were Sean Gray, Zach
Manning, EJ Louis and Ste-
fon Davis.
The Presidents are sched-
uled to play the Harbormen
of Hingham High School
on Friday night on the road.

Broken Water Pipe Shuts
Down Quincy Access TV
A broken water pipe shut
down cable station QATV
and the Thomas Crane Pub-
lic Library, 40 Washington
St., Quincy Center for at
least one day and possibly
more.
"We're going to shut
down all our equipment,"
Betty Campbell, Executive
Director, QATV, said Tues-
day night, adding, "We'll be
off the air."
The electrical systems at
QATV and the main library
were hit when a pipe burst
around 3 p.m. Tuesday.
Campbell said the lo-
cal cable TV access station
planned to shut down after
the election reports and will
begin broadcasting as soQp
as National Grid officials
complete their repairs.
According to Quincy Fire
Lt. Mike Hobin, the water
problem began with a boiler
and leaked into the electri-
cal system. The electrical
inspector notified National
Grid, which shut down the
electricity in the library.
Police and fire officials
were notified shortly after 3
p.m. Tuesday.

Decision On Billboard
By TOM HENSHAW
Some 90 out of 300
Quincy-based reservists are
serving overseas in these
perilous times and Lt. Cmdr.
Christopher Orlowski, their
commander, feels their val-
ue is too often lost in the tu-
mult of war.
"These people ... are the
pillars of our commimities,"
he told the annual Veterans
Day observance Tuesday.
"In the Navy, they're 4pc-
iiiiiiin
tors, nurses, medics, intel-
ligence specialists and mer-
chant mariners.
"These people have
their civilian lives and train
one weekend a month, two
weeks a year in preparation
for their mobilization. And
it's not a matter of if they
will mobilize but when.
"The call to mobilize is
sometimes known well in
advance but often it comes
with 90 days notice and the
individual has to put aside
the civilian life and do a job
that his country needs him
to do.
"I'm proud to say our
military is full of people like
this."
Orlowski, who is com-
manding officer of the Navy
Reserve Center in Quincy,
said his own deployment to
the Middle East was done
with few disruptions of his
life in the military.

The state's Outdoor
Advertising Board will re-
visit its decision to allow a
permit for West Quincy's
80-foot double-sided bill-
board at a public hearing
scheduled Thursday, Dec.
11, at its Boston offices on
Park Plaza.
Mayor Thomas Koch
and the City Council have
asked the board to conduct
the hearing in Quincy where
hundreds of residents have
challenged the billboard
erected last spring.
"The purpose of the hear-
ing is to determine whether
the above-referenced per-
mits should be revoked,"
stated Edward Farley, the
Board's Executive Director,
in an Oct. 29 letter to James
Biondi, Trustee of the 313
Willard St. Trust.
Farley cited the bill-
board's location "within
300 feet of a public park or
a recreafional area," as the
sole reason for the board's
turnabout and new review.
However, City Solicitor
James Timmins outlined
three other significant fail-
ings in the billboard loca-
tion.
In a Nov. 5 letter to
Iraida Alvarez, an attorney
in the state's attorney gen-
eral, Timmins wrote, "I am
concerned that the board has
limited its proposed review
to one issue...,"
Timmins cited three oth-
er alleged violations of state
law:
• No billboards allowed in
predominately residen-
tial neighborhoods
• No billboards out of har-
mony with or not suit-
able to surrounding
area
• No billboards visible
from an interstate high-
way.
Timmins described the
issues as critical and. also,
stated that applicable state
law requires that such hear-
ings be held in the "impact-
ed" municipality.
"Given the mandatory
language used in the stat-
ute, I presume there will
not be a problem with hold-
ing the hearing in Quincy."
Timmins wrote.
City councillors Monday
unanimously approved a
motion submitted by Ward 2
Councillor Daniel Raymondi
asking that the hearing be
held in Quincy City Hall..

Council Has No Funds
To Hire Interim Auditor
By LAURA GRIFFIN
The city's new Municipal
Finance Department got off
to a rocky start this week as
City Councillors found the
council without even a tem-
porary auditor or the fiinds
to hire one on an interim ba-
sis.
"We have an empty seat,"
Councillor Joseph Finn said,
pointing to the vacant audi-
tor's chair and noting that
the acting city auditor "was
dismissed today" with-
out any notice given to the
council.
Finn Monday rebuked
both Mayor Thomas Koch
and the City Council for
leaving the city without an
interim auditor or the funds
to hire one as the reorgani-
zation of the city's financial
departments gets underway.
City Council President
Jay Davis said he would
have asked the auditor to
clarify finances on Koch's
proposal for a track at Faxon
Field which had been pre-
sented earlier in the meet-
ing.
However, there was no
auditor.
In addition, council-
lors learned second-hand
that Koch named Treasurer
Warren Sproul as director of
the new finance department,
and E)eborah Coughlin as
the new treasurer and col-
lector. Both were swom in
Monday.
Davis and Finance
Committee Chairman John
Keenan said neither they nor
their colleagues had been in-
formed prior to the appoint-
ments.
Finn pointed out that the
major job of the council is
the oversight of municipal
spending, but, now, there is
no auditor on board and the
council has no funds and no
timetable to hire one.
"For too long, we've
lost control of this situa-
tion," Finn said, adding that
he fears it does not "bode
well."
Councillors, also, said
they were not formally
notified that the position
of acting auditor filled by
Susan O'Connor would be
eliminated Monday when
O'Connor's 60-day appoint-
ment lapsed.
O'Connor has been re-
assigned to the new depart-
ment.
At Monday's meeting.
Ward 3 Councillor Kevin
Coughlin filed a motion to
reinstate O'Connor on a
temporary basis,
Coughlin withdrew
the motion after Finance
Committee Keenan ex-
plained that there was no
money in the City Council
budget to pay her.
All budget funding for
the auditing department
had been transferred, by a
council vote, to the restruc-
tured Municipal Finance
E>epartment.
Keenan asked council-
lors not to vote for a posi-
tion if the funding was not
in place.
In addition, the new re-
quirements for the position
are aimed at contracting with
an auditing firm or hiring
an individual with advanced
degrees and experience.
Coughlin and other coun-
cillors said that should not
disqualify O'Connor from
filling in as "acting' auditor.
The auditor's department
was basically eliminated
in October when the City
Council voted to reorganize
the city's financial structure
and created the Municipal
Finance Department which
absorbed most of the day-
to-day duties of the auditor.
Under the plan, thd func-
tion of the city auditor was
streamlined and the job now
requires graduate degrees or
a contract with an account-
ing firm.
During those discus-
sions. Councillors envi-
sioned a new auditor able to
focus entirely on reviewing
finances, expenditures and
reporting to the council.
This is the second time in
four months the council has
had an empty auditor's posi-
tion.
Under the city's charter,
the council is solely respon-
sible for selecting and hiring
an auditor who reports to the
council.
Former City Auditor
Rick Fitzpatrick resigned
effective July 31". In mid-
August, Koch appointed
O'Connor on a temporary
basis.
Since Fitzpatrick's depar-
ture in July, neither Davis
nor Keenan has established
a screening process, proce-
dures or a timetable for a
replacement in discussions
at City Council sessions.
While councillors ex-
pressed dismay and annoy-
ance at the current situation.
Ward 6 Councillor Brian
McNamee said such con-
fusion is often part of a re-
structuring and reorganiza-
tion process.

After Dangerous Fire
MWRA Chief Pledges
Strong Safety Measures
At FR Pellet Plant
By LAURA GRIFFIN
The fire's out and the
firefighters are out of dan-
ger, but the repair work has
just begun at the pellet plant
at the former Fore River
Shipyard.
As a result, truckers will
keep trucking 350 tons of
sludge cake through the city
streets every week for an-
other month or two.
Once it's over, though,
the pellet plant will be saf-
er, the noise will be down,
and trucking eliminated in
favor of rail transport, Fred
Laskey, Executive Direc-
tor of the Massachusetts
Water Resource Authority
(MWRA) told City Council
Monday.
Laskey who heads the
regional water and sewer
agency addressed the City
Council at the request of
Ward 2 Councillor Daniel
Raymondi .
Raymondi invited both
Laskey, Acting Fire Joseph
Barron, and health officials
to the council meeting after
residents complained about
the 15-20 trucks rumbling
through their streets at all
hours of the day and night.
Laskey described the
MWRA's temporary truck-
ing as the best alternative for
transport after last month's
fire shut down half the pellet
plant's operation, limiting
the production of pellets.
Now, the plant is transport-
ing sludge cakes.
The only alternative to
the trucks would be expen-
sive, temporary and, very
likely, odorous rail trans-
port, according to Laskey
who said the truck cargoes
are securely covered now
preventing odor emissions.
Barron said the fire at
the the MWRA plant started
Oct. 28 in the ducts. 25 feet
above ground. Firefighters
had limited access and no
venting.
After the flames were
doused, firefighters with-
drew and the fires smol-
dered within the ducts for
over two days while the fire
department kept watch.
Barron said that the
MWRA provided the aqua
jet equipment needed to
douse the live ashes.
The situation was 'dan-
gerous for our firefighters
to work under these condi-
tions" and the fire heated
to 1200 degrees with 'no
ability to vent," according
to Barron who lauded the
courage of the firefighters
and the leadership of Dep-
uty Chiefs Gary Smyth and
Gerry Galvin.
Barron said officials at
the New England Pellet
Co., operators of the plant,
have agreed to compensate
the city at approximately
$41,000, for the manpower
and equipment expenses of
battling the fire.
'They've really stepped
up," Barron said, adding
the company has agreed to
redesign the plant adding
emergency exits, and better
design. The new plans will
be reviewed by the state fire
marshal's office, according
to Barron.
At this time, there are
no major health concerns,
according to Asst. Health
Agent Cindy DeCristofaro.
The sludge is transported
by tunnel from Deer island,
converted to sludge cake
and then baked into fertil-
izer pellets used for lawns,
agriculture, at turf farms,
citrus groves, cotton fields
and as soil conditioners.
When operating at capac-
ity, the plant produces 90
tons of pellets a day. These
are rated Class A by the
Environmental Protection
Agency.
Excess from the pellets,
apparently, created a dan-
gerous coating within the
ducts and ignited, according
to Laskey who said the situ-
ation was not foreseen.
Laskey said the plant will
add a fire sprinkler system
within the ductwork, and
easier access after removal
and replacement of the com-
promised pipes. He expects
the new system will be in
place in six to eight weeks,
"It's our hope."
According to MWRA
records, the pellet facility
began interim operation in
Dec. 1991 when the MWRA
ended the discharge of
sludge into Boston Harbor
and the facility was com-
pleted in 2001.
The last major incident
at the plant was 1998 when
a gas pipe exploded, shut-
ting down operations for 50
days.

Smyth Asks For Clarification
On Fire Chief's Article
Deputy Fire Chief Gary
Smyth has asked for a clari-
fication on an article in last
week's Quincy Sun regard-
ing Mayor Thomas Koch's
plan to call for a new Civil
Service exam for fire chief.
The release from the
mayor's office referred to
Smyth as the fourth candi-
date on the current list after
three declined the appoint-
ment.
Smyth says that has been
interpreted by him and oth-
ers as though he was in
fourth place on the list.
"1 am tied for first place,"
he told The Sun, in seeking
the clarification.
Smyth is tied with Depu-
ty George McGunagle, who
the mayor's office, said,
declined the chief's job in
writing. Behind McGunagle
and Smyth are Capt. Paul

With the Presidential election over, it's inevitable
political speculation will follow.
It's already started.
Some local observers are wonder-
ing if Congressman Bill Delahunt
might be in line for an ambassador-
ship in the Barack Obama administra-
tion.
Like maybe Ambassador to Ven-
ezuela.
George Bush, who Hugo Chavez
called "the devil," cut off diplomatic relations with
Venezuela and if Obama decides to renew them, Dela-
hunt would be a good choice for the job. He knows
Venezuela and is respected there.
Would Delahunt be interested if Obama decided to
reopen relations and offered the post to him?
That's the question for the speculation.
But one of his predecessors Congressman-Brian
Donnelly-went on to serve as Ambassador to Trini-
dad.
If Delahunt did make the move, it would open up a
line of candidates for his 10* Congressional seat.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1915 real photo postcard looking north on
Hancock Street with Billings Road crossing in the fore-
ground. On the right was the Norfolk Downs Garage
where Harold Fratus began his auto dealership business.
Fratus also had his plumbing shop next door. On the left
was the Norfolk Downs Pharmacy operated at the time
by druggist Paul Brown. Beyond the large apartment
building was the florist business known as the Norfolk
Downs Conservatory. Their greenhouses, shown here
just at the sidewalk, were extensive. They went behind
the buildings on the left almost out to Holmes Street.
That is now the site of the library. There were also other
greenhouses in the Downs across Hancock Street out of
sight on Glover Avenue owned by the Derringers. That
site is now the Sacred Heart School. To contact Tom
Galvin, e-mail tmgalvin@verizon.net.

Disappointed Renegades Not In Sun 40^*" Issue
While reading the 40*
Anniversary newspaper of
The Quincy Sun, I noticed
that there were some sto-
ries about the Quincy High
School Band going to the
Cotton Bowl and the North
Quincy Band going to Ire-
land. But there was not a
word about another musical
group, the Renegades Drum
and Bugle Corps, in the City
of Quincy.
The Corps was founded
in October of 1972 and
made its' first appearance on
May 6, 1973, in a parade in
Quincy. They placed third in
their first contest on June 6,
1973. The Corps marched
in every parade in Quincy
from 1973 to 1979.
A Junior Corps called the
Drifters was formed in the
fall of 1974. Between both
Corps, there were 200 or
more boys and girls. In 1974
the Corps won the CYO
Championship, the Greater
New England Champion-
ship and placed second
in the Mayflower Circuit.
The Corps traveled all over
New England and Canada.
In 1975 the Corps won five
first-place trophies in one
contest in Canada. In 1976,
the Corps competed in the
DCI World Championships
in Philadelphia.
In 1975, South Shore
Bank and different organi-
zations put displays in the
front windows for a week.
We had a display in those
windows for five weeks as
they had got so many com-
ments about it. The Corps
was sponsored by Quincy
Legion Post #95, St. John's
Church and the Quincy
Auxiliary Police Associa-
tion. There were many peo-
ple who worked very hard
and spent a lot of time with
the Corps. Not one person
would change the time spent
with the Corps.
Many lasting friendships
friendships were made and
still exist today. I would
like to thank a few people
from the city, such as the
late Dick Koch for prac-
tices places; Joe LaRaia for
having a Renegade Day at
City Hall; Arthur Tobin for
practice fields; Leo Kelly
for presenting us with a city
flag to give to the City of
Verdun, Canada.
It was a great organiza-
tion, which I hope the city
will not forget, and is part of
Quincy 's history.
Jim O'Brien, Manager
Quincy
(Editor 's note: Jim, sorry
we missed the Renegades
Drum and Bugle Corps. No
doubt we overlooked some
others, too. We will be run-
ning photos of events of the
past 40 years in future is-
sues of The Sun. If you have
a photo of the Renegades
we would like to include it.
Thanks.)
Cub Scout Pack 42 Thanks Residents, Businesses
Throughout the months
of September and October,
cub scouts from Pack 42
in Quincy sold popcorn at
many local business loca-
tions and schools. Popcorn
sales are the primary fund-
raiser for Pack 42, enabling
boys to participate in a va-
riety of educational and fun
scouting activities through-
out the year.
Thank you to those busi-
ness owners who allowed
us to sell popcorn to the pa-
trons; to the Quincy School
superintendent and princi-
pals who permitted popcorn
sales during school events;
and to the residents of Quin-
cy who continually support
our programs and scouts
with their generosity.
Also, in October,
Cub Scout organizations
throughout the United States
celebrated "Adventures in
Books."
Cub Scout Pack 42
in Quincy observed this
monthly theme by collect-
ing gently used books and
donating them to Cradles to
Crayons, located in Quincy.
Over 50 books were de-
livered and will be shared
among
teens.

awareness among area

vices that QMC offers for

staff, including Medical
Staff President Nissage
Cadet, MD, and radiologist
Gregg Miller, MD, as well
as QMC President Gary
Gibbons, MD, and Chair-

QMC Medical Staff are
proud to say, 'This is my
community,' and likewise,
each physician is proud
to say, 'Quincy Medical
Center is my hospital',"
said Dr. Cadet. "Our goal
tonight is to help you un-
derstand what an outstand-
ing healthcare resource
you have available to you,
your employees, your cus-
tomers, and, if you live in
this area, to your families
as well. We invite you to
become actively involved
with the Medical Center
to help ensure our current
and future ability to take
care of patients right here
in their own community.
Our goal is for you to join
us in saying, "Quincy in
my community and Quin-
cy Medical Center is my
hospital ."
During the event. May-
or Thomas Koch touted
QMC's importance to the
City of Quincy and the sur-
rounding area and several
business leaders shared
why they believe QMC is
essential to the City, their
families, employees and
businesses. Phyllis God-
win, chief executive of
Granite City Electric, re-
counted how her grandson
received swift and excel-
lent care in the Emergency
Department, and Paul An-
gelico, founder and presi-
dent of Twin Rivers Tech-
nologies, spoke about how
QMC provides superior
occupational health servic-
es for his employees.
Some of the key points
the speakers conveyed to
the audience were:
• QMC is a private, not-
for-profit organization and
is not supported by tax dol-
lars;
• Despite an extremely
difficult and competitive
healthcare marketplace,
QMC offers the latest tech-
nology, services and high
quality care at a lower cost
than the big city hospitals;
• A strong medical cen
ter makes the city attractive
to future employees who
might settle in Quincy;
• There are many ways
for business, civic and
opinion leaders in the
City of Quincy to become
involved at the hospital,
including participating in
advisory and fundraising
committees, utilizing oc-
cupational health services,
and lending their expertise
and advocacy to important
issues facing the medical
center.
Business leaders who
would like to learn more
about getting involved at
the Medical Center should
call Richard Solomon, Di-
rector of Development, at
(617) 376-5492.
Quincy Medical Cen-
ter is a 196-bed acute care
community-teaching hos-
pital providing South Shore
residents with comprehen-
sive medical and surgical
services. The medical cen-
ter's Alliance for Quality
with Boston Medical Cen-
ter (BMC), formed in 1999,
brings academic medi-
cine to the community. At
Quincy Medical Center,
physicians from Boston
Medical Center direct the
departments of medicine,
surgery, anesthesia, and
emergency medicine. Ad-
ditionally, physicians from
BMC who are board-certi-
fied in a range of medical
and surgical specialties
work alongside communi-
ty physicians to ensure the
continuity of care.
PHYLLIS GODWIN, chief executive of Granite City Electric, Bob Curry, QMC Chairman of
the Board of Trustees, Mayor Thomas Koch, and QMC President and CEO Gary Gibbons, MD,
were among those who extolled the benefits of Quincy Medical Center and invited involvement
from the business conununity.
PAUL ANGELICO, founder and president of Twin Rivers Technologies, Inc., shared his posi-
tive experiences using Quincy Medical Center's occupational health services for his employees'
healthcare needs.

Coughlin Act Would Abate
Tax On Deployed Soldiers
IfWard 3 City Councillor
Kevin Coughlin has his way,
soldiers, sailors. Marines
and other members of the
armed forces who own
property in Quincy would
be abated most if not all of
their real estate taxes while
they are deployed in foreign
lands.
Coughlin 's measure was
filed with the City Council
Monday night and forward-
ed to the Finance Committee
for consideration. When ap-
proved by the City Council,
the act would go to the State
Legislature for passage as a
home rule petition.
'it would create a pro-
gram for the men and
women who are deployed in
places like Afghanistan and
Iraq," said Coughlin. "They
are citizen soldiers who step
KEVIN COUGHLIN
away from civilian life for
military pay that does not
equal what they were paid
in civilian life.
"They have enough
stress as it is. This would
give some relief to them and
their families."
UnderCoughlin'spropos-
al, a person making $70,000
a year in civilian life might
be cut to $50,000 a year in
the military, "a substantial
hit," said the councillor.
if he or she were de-
ployed abroad for, say, nine
months, that part of his or
her real estate tax would be
prorated and abated for the
term of the deployment.
Eligibility for the abate-
ment would be established
by the Board of Assessor
with information obtained
by Veterans Services, in-
cluding the deployment or-
ders and military pay vouch-
ers.
The authority of the as-
sessors to grant such abate-
ments would expire after
Fiscal 2010, unless extended
by the Council.

Bank Of Canton Continues Lending
Despite Nation's Credit Crunch
It's all about the bor-
rower.
That's the message
George DeMello, senior
vice president of Residential
Lending for Bank of Canton,
is hoping to get across as
the bank continues to offer
loans despite the economic
woes that have battered the
lending industry.
While many lenders
throughout the nation have
been hit hard by the recent
credit crunch, Bank of Can-
ton has managed to thrive.
DeMello said the bank's
success is largely due to its
consultative process for cus-
tomers: Its mortgage depart-
ment works closely with the
Bank's other business chan-
nels to put the borrower on
center stage.
"The essence of what it
means to be a community
bank is to deliver the best
possible mortgage experi-
ence for the borrower," said
DeMello. "Everything Bank
of Canton does is focused
on reinforcing the values of
personalized and exemplary
customer service." Despite
today's high-tech environ-
ment, face-to-face meetings
with customers are strongly
encouraged by our loan offi-
cers even if the first contact
was made online, he noted.
Despite suggestions that
there exists a significant
credit crunch, DeMello said
the bank has increased its
mortgage lending activity
by 30% over last year.
"It all depends on what
kind of product you've fea-
tured in the past," he said.
"For example, lending en-
tities that worked heavily
with subprime loans in the
past are probably feeling
the strain of these difficult
economic times right now.
At Bank of Canton, we
avoided subprime loans and
continued to focus on our
most popular product line:
conventional 30-year, fixed-
rate mortgages."
While the Bank offers a
variety of loan products, 30-
year, fixed-rate mortgages
make up about 80 percent of
its overall loan volume.
"We sell about 90 percent
of the mortgages we origi-
nate to investors and retain
about 10 percent, which has
been the case for the last six
or seven years," said De-
Mello. "We use about eight
different investors and the
No. 1 reason why we use
so many is because, on any
given day, any one of those
investors is offering the
lowest rate. We figure out
who has the best rate on that
day and pass the savings on
to our customers. Of course,
prior to working with any
investor, we conduct prop-
er due diligence to ensure
complete customer satisfac-
tion after the closing."
Thomas Gleason, execu-
tive director of MassHous-
ing - the state's affordable
housing bank - praised the
bank's lending practices.
"Bank of Canton is an
outstanding community
bank and particularly dedi-
cated to affordable lending
for homebuyers of mod-
est means," Gleason said.
"They have always been
one of our best lenders, es-
pecially when it comes to
lending to minority borrow-
ers. Last year, they excelled
in this area above all of our
other lending partners and
received the annual Mass-
Housing award for top lend-
er to minority homebuy-
ers. Bank of Canton has
also remained a steady and
reliable local partner dur-
ing difficult times. For peo-
ple who think banks have
stopped making loans, I
point to Bank of Canton as
an example of a local lender
who is there for the commu-
nity, in good times as well
as tough times."
The Bank also is one of
36 banks in Massachusetts
participating in MassHous-
ing's Home Saver Foreclo-
sure Prevention Program, a
loan and counseling solution
that assists borrowers whose
mortgages have become un-
sustainable. Through the
Home Saver Foreclosure
Prevention Program, Bank
of Canton and other par-
ticipating institutions are
able to assist homeowners
in maintaining ownership
of their homes by making it
affordable to refinance to a
fixed rate.
Mr. DeMello said the
Bank of Canton offers a vi-
able opportunity for those
seeking a sustainable mort-
gage.
"The industry is in tur-
moil and people are looking
for safety and security," he
said. "Our clients are our fo-
cus. We work with real peo-
ple, focus on their lives and
their homes, and offer the
most competitive rates and
products in the industry."

Leadership Team
Named For New
Finance Department
Cont'd From Page 1
of Salem and a veteran ana-
lyst in Quincy for 22 years,
will be in charge of manag-
ing budgets, tracking rev-
enues, reviewing contracts
and a series of other duties
as head of the new finance
department. He was ap-
pointed Treasurer-Collector
by Koch in February.
Coughlin, a former North
American manager of ac-
counting and reporting for
Gillette, will be responsible
for managing the city's col-
lections and overseeing city
accounts. Coughlin worked
for Gillette for nearly 30
years. Both Coughlin and
Sproul have an MBA.
"We are fortunate to have
this kind of talent available
to the City, and we plan to
make the most of it through
creative ideas, new stan-
dards, and the desire they
both have to help the com-
munity," Koch said.
The creation of the new
department will add no
money to the city budget,
Koch said. At his request,
the City Council approved
$85,000 in account transfers
to formalize salaries for the
reorganization. The money
will come from savings in
the Department of Public
Works and the city's health
department.

City Council Honors
David Portesi For Service
City councillors de-
scribed service on the Zon-
ing Board of Appeals as one
of the most difficult posi-
tions for a volunteer citizen
when they commended Da-
vid Portesi for his six years'
services on the board.
Ward 5 Councillor Doug
Gutro presented the com-
mendation. He described the
often complex and conten-
tious issues brought to the
Zoning Board.
Zoning Board members
play "an extraordinary role
in city government. Their
decisions impact our neigh-
borhoods," said Gutro.
City Council President
Jay Davis and Ward 6 Coun-
cillor Brian McNamee cited
specific cases resolved dur-
ing Portesi's membership.
"He always asked, 'Was
there enough parking?'"
said McNamee while Davis
recalled the difficult deci-
sions for Brewers' Comer.
"It's been a long six
years," said Portesi, recall-
ing "a lot of contentious
variances. I always tried to
be fair."
Portesi introduced his
wife Sharon and noted that
the night of the commen-
dation was, also, their 40^
wedding anniversary. He is
a former teacher at Massas-
oit Community College.

Library, QATV Back
In Service After
Burst Pipe Outage
Davis Proposes Residential
Parking For Southwest Quincy
A pipe burst knock-
ing out the library's power
system and shutting down
the Thomas Crane Public
Library and QATV for two
days last week, but both
were back in full swing by
the week's end.
Library Director Ann
McLaughlin said the poWer
outage did not affect voting
at the library as an emergen-
cy generator was operated.
Unfortunately, that did
not help hundreds of library
patrons caught by surprise
by closed doors at the li-
brary last Wednesday and
Thursday.
"It's busy all the time,"
McLaughlin said.
Even the telephone lines
were down, McLaughlin
said, adding that the mes-
sages had really piled up
when the staff was able to
return on Friday.
The situation was slight-
ly better at QATV which is
housed in the library build-
ing.
Executive Director Betty
Campbell said the cable tele-
vision staff had been able to
notify its audience during
Tuesday evening programs.
In addition, Campbell
said QATV was able to fin-
ish its election programming
Tuesday night.
However, QATV classes
had to be postponed during
the week until Thursday
evening.
"We're back up to speed,"
Campbell said Monday.
McLaughlin promised
that library patrons would
not be fined for the two days
the library was closed.
Smyth Asks For Clarification
On Fire Chief's Article
Cont'd From Page 3
Griffith and Deputy Jef-
frey Starr.
Starr, the mayor's of-
fice said, also declined the
chief's job and Griffith indi-
cated he would prefer to be
a deputy chief instead of the
chief.
The current Civil Service
exam list is from 2006 and
will expire next month.
Meanwhile Deputy Chief
Joseph Barron, senior depu-
ty, is serving as acting chief
but is not on the current Civ-
il Service list.
Mayor Koch has called
for a new exam for a fresh
list of candidates. "A clean
slate will be the fairest way
to handle it," he said.
Foot Screening For Seniors
Podiatrist Dr. Jordana
Szpiro will be available to
seniors for foot screening
on the first Monday of ev-
ery month at the Council on
Aging office, 83 Saratoga
St.
The doctor will also treat
your feet for a fee of $25 per
person payable at the time
of the visit.
For more information or
to make an appointment, call
the COA at 617-376-1506.
Human Resources Direc-
tor Stephen McGrath noted:
"Civil Service rules dictate
that the appointing authority
(Mayor Koch) have at least
three candidates to choose
from. Right now, there is
one."
Smyth is now that one
candidate . Asked by The Sun
if he is still interested in the
chief's job, he said: "That's
what I took the exam for."
He said he would have
no further comment at this
time.
Addressing neighbors
concerns about commuter
parking on neighborhood
streets near the Quincy Ad-
ams MBTA Station, Ward
4 Councillor Jay Davis has
introduced an ordinance to
create the city's first resi-
dential parking program.
Introduced at Monday's
City Council meeting, the
legislation to create resi-
dential parking areas in
the city was sponsored
by Councilor Davis and
Ward 3 Councillor Kevin
Coughlin.
"The residents in Ward
Four who live near the
Adams T Station have
been frustrated for years
by commuters parking on
their streets and walking to
the T station, " Davis said.
"This is program should
help address those frustra-
tion."
The program restricts
parking on streets near T
stations to Quincy residents
and their visitors. Davis
said Ward Four residents
are sick and tried of hav-
ing commuters using their
streets as a free parking lot
access the Quincy Adams
JAY DAVIS
T Station. Davis said the
additional cars only add
to problem of congested
streets.
Last February, Davis
hosted a neighborhood
meeting with residents to
discuss the possibility of
establishing a Residential
Parking Are for Columbia
Street, Intervale Street,
Liberty Street, Plain Street,
Rodman Street, Taber
Street and Totman Street.
He said the program
was well received by the
neighbors.
"Since the meeting," Da-
vis said, "I have received a
number of phone calls and
emails from neighbors
complaining about com-
muters' cars taking up
spaces on local streets."
Davis said he believes
the problem has worsened
due to the increase in T
rider ship and the desire of
commuters to save money
by not parking in T ga-
rages.
"After the neighbor-
hood meeting in Febru-
ary, it was my intention
to introduce the legisla-
tion immediately" Davis
said. However, the city's
law department needed to
sign off on the new restric-
tions.
The traffic and police
departments will adminis-
ter the program.
Once the legislation
passes, Davis said he
would host additional
neighborhood meetings to
assist neighbors with the
implementation of the re-
strictions.
For more information
about the meeting, contact
Davis by phone at 617-
834-3945 or email at jda-
vis @ ci .quincy .ma .us .

Artificial Turf Possible
For Field At New Track
Several new issues, in-
cluding the possibility of
artificial turf, were raised
Monday when Gale Associ-
ate's Bill Seymour outlined
plans for a $ 1 .3 million high
school track at Faxon Field
with an enclosed 95,000 sq.
ft. field.
Seymour displayed graphs
and diagrams to City Council
and some 40 residents with
few changes from a similar
presentation to Park Com-
missioners a week ago.
However, Councillor John
Keenan asked for a contrast
between artificial turf and
natural turf as the base of
the field planned within the
track.
Seymour said the initial
cost difference was signifi-
cant, as natural turf would
cost $400,000 and artificial
turf, $800,000.
However, upkeep was,
also, vastly different as natu-
ral turf would cost some
$35,000 a year and the up-
keep for artificial turf is neg-
ligible , according to Seymour
who said, "The maintenance
is peanuts."
City Council President
Jay Davis said the use of arti-
ficial turf would allow much
more extensive use of the
inner field in early spring and
late fall when the grounds are
wet.
Both Ward 5 Councillor
Douglas Gutro and Coun-
cillor Joseph Finn said the
council must schedule a
public hearing on the issue
before the council votes
on the funding questions.
Councillors agreed without
a vote.
City Solicitor James Tim-
mins suggested that Mayor
Thomas Koch may not re-
quest track funds until after
all environmental permits
have been issues. Under that
plan, the council 's vote could
occur in mid-January.
Seymour and his team
said the track could be built
and in use as early as next
fall, but some listeners were
not convinced
"TTie council has approved
three (different) tracks," Finn
said of his six year tenure on
the council while Maureen
Keeley said, "I think it's pie
in the sky to think it can be
done by September."

Timmins addressed the
issue at the request of City
Council president Jay Davis
who acknowledged his wife
is a B.J.'s member.
Davis then surveyed the

My second recommen-

maintained at least once a
year. At that time a tech-
nician will clean the inner

unvented space heaters

unlawful to do so within

tation and with good rea-

A Job Well Done
LT.DANMINTON
On Sunday, Nov. 2, 2008, at 10 pjn.. Officer James
Flaherty, on patrol, pulled his
cruiser into the parking lot
of CVS at 42 Bcalc St., fac-
ing the store adjacent toEn-
terprise Rent a Car. While
there, he heard the dispatch-
er call out, "Units respond
to CVS in Wollaston for an
armed robbery in progress."
Officer Flaherty radioed
that he was out and needed
more information right away.
He was told that the suspect,
a white male, was leav-
ing the store going toward
Qay Sfreet. The officer approached the door and was
met by a white man coming out of the store, so the officer
drew his gun and ordered him to the ground. The male
complied and the officer was able to get a pharmacist to
come out, who stated that the man was not the suspect,
that the suspect fled out the other door and used a hand-
gun to rob them.
The pharmacist said the suspect ran out the door clos-
est to Beale Street. The officer recalled that while he
was holding the man at gunpoint, he observed through
his peripheral vision a taxi pass directly behind him head-
ing toward Qay Street. The officer set the man on the
ground free and interviewed the pharmacist, who gave
the officer a description of the suspect and then reviewed
the videotape.
Dispatch then announced that a taxi driver was
just held up at gunpoint and dropped the suspect off at St.
Ann's Road. Units responded to the area and searched for
the suspect, while the taxi driver was sent to the CVS
store to review the surveillance video to confirm it was
the same suspect who robbed the store. Once it was con-
firmed. Officer Flaherty notified officers that they were
looking for just one suspect who conunitted both crimes.
According to the pharmacist, the suspect approached the
counter and pulled a "revolver" out of his pants, then
pointed it at him and demanded all the Oxycontin. The
pharmacist complied by opening the safe and handing
over the drugs.
The suspect walked away, then abruptly turned
around, jumped the counter with the gun still in his
hand and removed the contents of the safe. The suspect
then exited through the employee's counter entrance and
fled the store. Officer Flaherty reviewed the video and
noted that the suspect did have a handgun and carried
the drugs in a plastic bag as he made his escape. Of-
ficer Mike Kelly, who was working a detail at Veteran's
Stadium, radioed that he witnessed the suspect jump over
the stadium wall.
Numerous Quincy police officers responded to the
area and created a perimeter while others went into the
stadium in search for the suspect. Officer Flaherty went
to the rear of the stadium and met up with Detective
Sean Biggins and they began searching in the marsh area
outside the fence, which is densely covered by six foot
high elephant grass. The search became very dangerous
because the grass created low visibility and made loud
noises when crushed as they walked through.
As the officers pressed further into the marsh, they
heard a voice call out "I'm over here." The officers knew
this was not a police officer, so Detective Biggins yelled
out to the suspect, "get down on the ground.". A reply
came out, "I am." The officers still could not see the sus-
pect, so they kept asking where he was.
The suspect kept responding back and additional Offi-
cers slowly approached the voice, until they came across
the suspect lying in the prone position with his arms
by his side. Officer Flaherty inmiediately recognized
this man as the person in the video surveillance tape. As
the Officers approached the suspect, he suddenly pulled
both hands towards his front waistband.
Detective Biggins and Officer Flaherty feared he
was reaching for the handgun, so Detective Biggins
kneed the suspect in the right rear shoulder which distract-
ed the suspect enough to let Officer Flaherty pull the sus-
pect's left arm out firom under his body and placed it be-
hind his back. Detective Biggins pulled the right arm out
from under the suspect's body and placed it behind his
back. The suspect resisted arrest until Detective Wil-
liam Ward, who was trying to locate the voices, arrived
(Ml scene and assisted in handcuffing the suspect.
The suspect was frisked but the gun and drugs were
not <m him (m- in the immediate area. There was a white
powdery substance around the lips of die suspect. When

FDIC Safeguards
More of Your
Savings
The Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corporation recently
increased insurance cover-
age on bank accounts to
$250,000. Until the
increase, accounts were cov-
ered up to $100,000, except
for retirement savings,
which have been covered to
$250,000 since 2006.
The increase, however, is
temporary. The new
increased coverage will run
through Dec. 31, 2009, at
which time the coverage will
be reduced to the previous
$100,000 amount.
The new insurance cover-
age is as follows:
• Single owner account:
$250,000
• Joint account $250,000:
per co-owner
• Trust Accounts
$250,000: per owner per
beneficiary
These amounts apply to
the total amount that is
deposited in a bank. For
example, if you have both
checking and savings at one
bank, those amounts would
be added together subject to
the $250,000 cap.
If you're concerned about
the safety of your present
bank, consider spreading
your money between multi-
ple banks and account types,
or investigate credit unions
as an option to traditional
banks. Credit unions aren't
in business for profits, and
most of them have been less
likely to make the risky sub-
prime housing loans that
have been the downfall of
banks across the
country. Sharehold-
ers are the members,
and having a credit-
union account is a
good way to get start-
ed in the credit world
should you need a
loan.
To keep credit
unions on equal footing with
banks, they have been
included in the increased
insurance coverage legisla-
tion. Credit unions aren't
covered by the FDIC.
Instead they are chartered by
the National Credit Union
Administration and covered
by the National Credit
Union Share Insurance
Fund. No money has ever
been lost in a credit-union
failure because of the insur-
ance.

Is Aluminum
Wiring Safe?
2, ril be closing escrow
• soon on a 1974
ile home. I just had the
home inspection done and
found out that it has alu-
minum wiring. Is this com-
mon, and is this a safety
hazard, especially being so
old? Can you give me a
quick education on alu-
mhium wiring and any
pointers that might help
me? — Gail S., via e-mail
A, Small-gauge alu-
• minum wiring was
installed in about 2 million
homes (and an unknown
number of other structures
such as mobile homes) built
in the 1960s through the
mid-1970s. The reason it is
no longer used is that it was
found to be less safe than
copper wire.
The problem with alu-
minum wiring is that it tends
to corrode at the connections
(such as elecuical outlet or
appliance connections).
This corrosion increaijes the
resistance to electrical cur-
rent, which leads to over-
heating at the connection,
which can cause serious
problems — including fire
or electrocution. Circuit
breakers are designed to trip
(break) an electrical circuit
before it overloads and over-
heats, but aluminum wiring
had a tendency to overheat
despite this protection.
According to the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety
Commission, homes wired
before 1972 with aluminum
are 55 times more likely to
have one or more connec-
tions reach "fire hazard con-
ditions" than a home wired
with copper.
In 1972, manufacturers
introduced a new "alloy"
type of aluminum wiring, as
well as improved switches
and outlets. However, some
reports argue that the alloy
wasn't much of an improve-
ment.
One thing that was intro-
duced in this same time peri-
od was a less-costly alterna-
tive to completely rewiring a
home with copper. This is
die COPALUM crimp con-
nector repair, which splices
aluminum wires with copper
connectors to create a safer
connection at the outlet or
appliance.
It is one of just two recom-
mended fixes for the alu-
minum wiring in your home
(the other is to completely
rewire with copper). The
COPALUM fix was allowed
through 2005. 1 don't know
if it's still a permitted repair
option, but a licensed elec-
trician will know about it. At
any rate, you should have an
electrician double-check all
electrical connections in the
mobile home to make sure
they are functioning correct-
ly. For the repair work, be
sure to get a written estimate
and re-inspect after repairs
are complete.

(ARA) - Home owners
spend as much time out-
doors as possible. Making
outdoor spaces more livable
not only increases the value
of a home, but can make a
house feel larger and allow
its occupants to enjoy the
best nature has to offer.
Americans will be spend-
ing a lot of their discretion-
ary money updating their
homes, according to the
Home Improvement Re-
search Institute (HIRI). As
usual, kitchen and bathroom
remodels are expected to be
popular, so are projects that
allow homeowners in need
of more space to expand
their living areas. But with
budgets tight, not too many
people will be doing add-
ons this year. They are in-
stead expected to focus their
attention on outdoor living
as a way to expand.
"Outdoor living is a lot
more sophisticated, today,
than it was as recently as
five years ago. People now
have outdoor kitchens and
living rooms, and since they
are decorating them a lot
like they would an interior
room it's getting hard to tell
the outdoor living spaces
from the indoor ones," says
Joe Rey-Barreau, an associ-
ate professor at the Univer-
sity of Kentucky's School
of Interior Design and the
education consultant for the
American Lighting Associa-
tion (ALA). He travels the
country tracking trends and
one he's noticed lately is the
focus on decorative accents
outside.
"It doesn't matter where
in the country I am; when 1
visit an outdoor living room
these days, I will find deco-
rative table lamps and chan-
deliers, even wall scones
that are UL rated; and hang-
ing from the ceiling are these
beautiful fans. A far cry
from the industrial-looking
models of yesteryear," says
Rey-Barreau.
Take, for example, the
Bellaria Collection by Zi-
onsville, Ind. -based Fanima-
tion. "Fans in this collection
are decorative as well as
functional," says Tom Un-
derwood, the company's na-
tional sales manager. "They
look like indoor products by
virtue of their detail, but are
meant to be used outdoors."
The Bellaria fans feature
a composite housing that
is rust-proof, all-weather
blades and wet-labeled light
kits. They are available
in seven different finishes
ranging from white to aged
copper.
The Emerson Ceiling Fan
company of St. Louis, Mo.,
also has some strong offer-
ings for the outdoor living
market. "We've expanded
our outdoor offerings quite
a bit in recent years," says
Steve Cox, vice president
and general manager of Em-
erson Air Comfort Products.
"Emerson offers all the tra-
ditional and contemporary
designs you'd expect. Plus
we have a lot of models with
a tropical look."
Cox expects The Maui
Bay line to do extremely
well. The fan motors, which
come in a corrosion resistant
housing that is perfect for
an outdoor deck or gazebo,
and blades in this collection
are sold separately, allow-
ing home owners to create a
look that is truly unique.
In the meantime, the de-
signers at Regency Fans,
which is based in Fenton,
Mo., expect their Miranda
collection to do well with
the outdoor living crowd.
"Our outdoor models have
the same quiet D/C motor
fans as our interior units
do," says Kim Noerteman,
Regency's product and mar-
keting director. "Consum-
ers can find regular ceiling
hung fans, as well as wall,
pedestal and decorative
tandem models available
for both the inside and out
in this collection. The only
real difference if you decide
to go outside rather than in
would be the more weather-
resistant housing and blade
options."

for outdoor use, or to find
a showroom near you that
carries them, log on to the

ciation's Web site at www.

Ceramic Tiles Join The Green Revolution
(NAPS) - Much like
other designers who have
found they can do well by
going green, many ceramic
tile manufacturers are em-
bracing a powerful design
trend that finds inspiration
from the envirormient, ma-
terials foimd in nature and
other natural shapes.
The trend, which is called
"Organica," is about pure,
simple, organic lifestyle,
and Tile of Spain manufac-
turers offer a full portfolio
of "Organica" options.
For example, hygienic
ceramic can be used in
spaces designed for "heathy
living." Also, simply select-
ing durable materials that
will last the life of the home
greatly reduces the demand
for virgin materials as well
as the amount of material
sent to landfills.
Once installed, ceramic
tile may last for a minimum
of 40 years. Plus, indoor air
quality, health and hygiene
are a growing focus of sus-
tainable design. Working
with ceramic tile means that
virtually no Volatile Organic
Compounds (V(X!s) are in-
troduced into the indoor air
environment.
Eco-friendly ceramic is
made of natural ingredients
as well as offering a "back
to basics" look and mate-
rial. A Tile of Spain branded
manufacturer, Porcelanosa,
offers the Yakarta series, a
rectified porcelain tile avail-
able in a 12" X 35" format
with grass cloth-like texture.
Natural and inspired by the
Sahara grasslands, this wall
covering works effortlessly
as a backdrop for primitive
artwork and sculptures in
the residential or commer-
cial gallery.
Bamboo is the hottest
eco-chic material as of late,
and Tile of Spain branded
manufacturer Keros created
"Bambu," a series that could
pass for the fibrous wood
detailed with various floral
listelo borders, all very "Or-
ganica."

North Quincy's Bid
For Patriot Bowl Over
SENIOR PAT WATKINS, looking to gain extra yards, sttfT-arms a Middleboro defender.
By SEAN BRENNAN
The North Quincy Red
Raiders made things interest-
ing in final minutes of play
against Middleboro High
School last Friday night, but
in the end, the Raiders could
not overcome a 16-0 deficit,
losing 16-13.
The loss officially ended
North Quincy 's chance to
play in the inaugural Patriot
League Bowl; a winner-
take -all game scheduled for
Saturday afternoon that will
decide which Patriot League
team will represent the
league in the state playoffs.
Not to make matters
worse, but if the Raiders
had pulled out the home vic-
tory over Middleboro, they
would have represented the
Fisher Division in the Pa-
triot Bowl against Duxbury
High School. Instead, Ha-
nover High School-a 7-0
winner over Rockland HS
and a team the Raiders de-
feated 21-14 earlier this fall-
will represent the Fisher Di-
vision on Saturday against
Duxbury.
'The kids definitely hung
in, they showed effort," said
NQ head coach Jim Connor.
"As far as the game goes
Middleboro played great.
They capitalized on our mis-
takes.
"You need to give the
victors credit. They made
the big plays and we didn't.
Looking at the film, it was
a total team loss. We just
couldn't get that one big
stop or play when we need-
ed it."
Trailing 16-0 with just
under five minutes left in
the game, North put togeth-
er one final push. On first
and 10 from their own 45-
yard line, running back Joe
Vialpando broke tackle after
tackle and eventually found
daylight up the right side-
line. His 55-yard TD run
was followed by an unsuc-
cessful two-point conver-
sion. Score at this point was
16-6 Middleboro.
Looking to get the ball
back fast, the Raiders at-

by senior Tim Stille and the
Raiders were back in busi-
ness. But four plays later the
Raiders turned the ball over
on downs.
Looking to run out the
game clock. North's de-
fense forced Middleboro
to fumble the ball away.
When North Quincy came
up with the loose ball, new
life came back to the Red
Raiders' sideline, and when
Stanton found Paul Reamer
on a slant in the end zone
with: 13 seconds left to push
the score to 16-13, Veterans
Stadium went berserk.
The game and any hopes
of a chance at a league title
came to a close when Ev-
ora's second attempt at an
onside kick sailed out-of-
bounds.
"It was a tough loss,"
added Connor. "They (Ha-
nover) took care of Rock-
land. We just didn't take
careof our side."
North Quincy and Mid-
dleboro played a scoreless
first quarter, but it was the
Raiders who squandered the
best scoring opportunity. At
the end of the quarter, the
Raiders, behind the play of
quarterback Mike Stanton
and the running of Pat Wat-
kins, Vialpando and Brian
Donaghey, drove all the way
inside Middleboro 's 20-yard
line. On third down and long,
Stanton had senior wide re-
ceiver Tim Stille wide-open
in the end zone, but the pass
rush of Middleboro and the
lousy weather forced a high
throw and on fourth down
North Quincy turned the
ball over on downs.
Middleboro used this
defensive stand as a boost
for their first scoring drive
of the game. After ten plays
and almost eight minutes of
ball possession Middleboro
scored on a six-yard touch-
down run. The successful
point after attempt made the
score 7-0.
After Watkins returned
the following kickoff to
the NQ 34-yard line, Stan-
ton botched a snap on first
down. The loose ball was
recovered by Matt Jay, but
the fumble pushed the Raid-
ers back to their own 24.
On second and 20, Stanton
fired a pass in the direction
of Paul Reamer, but the pass
was intercepted at the NQ
42.
The turnover eventually
was converted into a half-
time ending 23-yard field
goal that gave the visitors a
1 0-0 lead at the break. Those
three points turned out to be
the difference when the fi-
nal whistle blew to end the
game.
The second half began
with the Raiders picking up
one first down before punt-
ing the ball away. Middle-
boro would give the ball
right back. A fumble near
mid-filed was recovered by
NQ at their own 40-yard line
but after Stanton and the of-
fense got as far as the Mid-
dleboro 23-yard line things
went down the drain.
On second and 12 from
the 23-yard line Terrence
Staley was dropped for a
seven-yard loss; on third
and 19 Stanton's pass fell
incomplete and on fourth
down the Raiders pimted
the ball away. Opportunity
missed.
Middleboro punted the
ball right back but the North
Quincy would fumble the
ball away on their next pos-
session and at the end of
three quarters the score was
16-0 Middleboro.
The final blow from Mid-
dleboro came with 6:30 left
in the game. With no quar-
terback behind center, Mid-
dleboro had a wide receiver
take the snap. The trickery
worked when the pass was
caught 40+ yards downfield
for a touchdown.
"It was a trick play and
it worked," said Connor. "It
wasn't like we had bad cov-
erage, we did. It is one thing
if the QB makes that throw,
but for a wide receiver to
make it is tough."
The Raiders will play
Silver Lake HS on Friday
night at 7:30 p.m. at Veter-
ans Memorial Stadium.

l\irnovers, Penalties Cost
Quincy 3rd Straight Defeat
Three second-half turn-
overs and a handful of costly
penalties were the main rea-
sons why the Quincy Presi-
dents dropped their third
straight game, 25-14, last
Saturday afternoon against
Hingham High School.
"It was a slugfest the
entire game," said Quincy
head coach Bill Reardon.
"These two teams were
evenly matched. If we make
a couple more plays the out-
come may have been dif-
ferent. But those three turn-
overs and those penalties
cost us in the end.
"We have been fighting
these last three games with
turnovers and penalties. We
still have a game this Friday
to help us get back on track
heading into our game on
Thanksgiving."
The Presidents (3-5 over-
all, 1-4 in the Keenan Divi-
sion) fell behind 3-0 in the
first quarter, but when senior
Anthony Raddatz returned
the following kickoff back
for a touchdown, and Quin-
cy successfully converted a
two-point conversion, the
score was 8-3 Presidents.
After Raddatz scored,
Hingham (4-5 overall)
drove the field and punched
the ball into the end zone to
go back up 9-8. A successful
two-point play pushed the
score to 11-8 in the second

quarter.
The 11-8 advantage did
not last long for Hingham.
Quincy, behind the running
of senior Tim Lewis, took
the ball back and scored.
Lewis capped off the im-
pressive scoring drive with
a touchdown run, but the
Presidents extra point-try
was blocked, putting the
score at 14-11 Quincy.
This first-half slugfest
saw one more scoring drive;
this time it was Hingham that
did the damage. The Har-
bormen took back the lead
for good with a long drive to
end the half. A touchdown
with little time left before
the halftime whistle ran the
score to 18-14 Hingham.
"We played a nice first-
half," added Reardon.
"Raddatz continues to be a
playmaker for us on offense
and Tim Lewis has been run-
ning the ball great these last
few games. We did have a
point after attempt blocked,
and that is something we
need to work on, but overall
it was a good half."
The second half was not
as kind to Quincy. The Pres-
idents had three possessions
end in interceptions; killing
any possibility of a come-
back, and Hingham scored
one final touchdown to put
the game out of reach.
"We beat ourselves in
the second half with the
turnovers and penalties,"
Reardon said. "We had three
possessions end in intercep-
tions and that stopped any
thought of coming back in
the game.
"It is a long season and
we as a team are banged
up. But we will still keep
fighting over these next two
games and see if we can't fix
some of our mistakes."
As part of a football
double-header this Friday,
Quincy will play Randolph
High School at 4:15 p.m. at
Veterans Memorial Stadium.
This game will be followed
by the North Quincy-Silver
Lake game at 7:30 p.m.
"We get to play Randolph
on Friday as part of the Pa-
triot Bowl weekend," said
Reardon. "Once that game
is finished we will focus on
North Quincy and Thanks-
giving."
The Patriot Bowl week-
end will conclude on Satur-
day with the league cham-
pionship game between
Hanover and Duxbury

After Preliminary Win Over Marshfield
Red Raiders Fall
In First Round
By SEAN BRENNAN
This past weekend, play-
ing in the Division I South
Sectionals, the North Quin-
cy Red Raiders tasted the
sweetness of victory and the
bitterness of defeat.
North Quincy opened
the post-season with a hard-
fought 2-1 victory over
Marshfield High School at
Veterans Memorial Stadium
last Friday in a preliminary
round game, but dropped
a 3-2 game on Sunday to
Dartmouth High School in a
first-round match-up.
The victory over Marsh-
field represented the Raid-
ers' first post-season win
in almost 20 seasons; the
team's appearance in the Di-
vision I post-season was the
program's first visit to the
playoffs in nine years.
Playing as the #13 seed.
North Quincy, as a result of
their win over Marshfield,
traveled to Dartmouth on
Sunday to play against the
#4 seed.
Senior all-everything
Shane Regan put the Raid-
ers up 1-0 just 15 minutes
into the first-round game.
Regan scored on a direct
kick. The goal represented
Regan's 100^ career varsity
point and gave his team an
early advantage.
But Dartmouth rallied
back to score three-unan-
swered goals to take a 3-1
lead. North Quincy and
Regan would get the score
back to 3-2 with a late sec-
ond-half score. Regan was
assisted on his second goal
of the game by senior mid-
fielder Danny Russell.
'The team fought like
hell," said NQ head coach
Rich Hanlon. "But Dart-
mouth was too strong. They
were bigger and faster, but
my kids played their hearts
out till the very end. This
loss hurts but it does not
take away from the success
we have had this season.

open in the box. Russell put
a good shot on net, but was
denied. The Raiders contin-
ued putting the pressure on
the Rams two minutes later
when Regan took a direct
kick from 1 8-yards out that
was saved.
Marshfield quieted the
home crowd moments af-
ter Regan's direct kick. The
Rams' Andrew Sheridan
found TJ Jordan open in the
NQ box and Jordan buried a
blast by Raider goalie Ryan
Louis for the 1-0 lead.

for open field during last
Friday's preliminary round
game against Marshfield.
Regan scored once against the
Rams and twice more versus
Dartmouth. He finished his
high school career with 101
points.
"The team graduated 15
seniors off last year's team
(2007 edition). Most people
thought this would be a re-
building year for us, but we
worked as hard as anybody
to get to where we ended
up."
The Raiders advanced to
the first-round after an ex-
citing and, one could say,
revenge win over former
Atlantic Coast League foe
Marshfield last Friday. The
Rams, a constant opponent
for North during their time
playing in the ACL, had de-
feated the Raiders 10-0 and
6-0 in 2006 and 2007, but
this year's North team came
out flying this time around.
A little more than five
minutes into the game, ju-
nior midfielder Silas DeBus
(an exchange student from
from just out side the pen-
alty box and this time he
delivered. His shot deflected
off a Marshfield defender
and tied the score at 1 - 1 .
Both teams had scoring
and buried his shot into the
back of the net, giving the
Raiders the late 2-1 advan-
tage.
"It was a great pass by
Tim to Nick and his header
chances throughout the rest was perfect," said a jubilant
of the half, but neither team Prioli after the game. "I just
would capitalize. The Rams
had the best chance late.
With four minutes to play in
the half, Marshfield missed
an open net that would have
pushed the score to 2-1. In-
stead, at the halftime break,
the score was tied l-I .
For the first 32 minutes
of the second-half both
teams went back-and-forth
without scoring. The Rams
saw several scoring chances
go by the books-largely be-
took the pass and put it in."
The Raiders, behind sev-
eral late saves from Louis,
rushed the field in celebra-
tion at the final whistle.
A post-season win twenty
years in the making will do
that to teams.
"This was a huge win
for our team," said Louis.
"1 am so proud of the whole
team but especially our
captains. Mike Prioli and

finally hit that homerun they
had been working towards

ute, junior Tim Gillis put

It is exciting to be moving

(NAPS) - The only thing
harder than losing weight
may be keeping it off.
It's maddening, but
weight-loss rebounds are
engrained in our evolution-
ary biology.
The good news is that
there has finally been a
break-through. A double-
blind study recently showed
that a proprietary blend of
green tea, caffeine, cayeime
and the amino acid L-Ty-
rosine can keep the body's
metabolism humming for
eight weeks after initial
weight loss.
"The human body is built
to survive environmental ex-
posure and scarcity of food
due to seasonal changes and
nomadic moves from one
place to another," says Greg
Grochoski, chief science of-
ficer for one of the nation's
most respected dietary
supplement companies, ISI
Brands, Inc.
"An initial weight loss
signals the body to go into
a conservation mode as if
it were winter or enduring
a food shortage. Fat is con-
served to protect the intemal
organs until spring arrives
- but today, we don't need
that protection mechanism."
A new product called
Break Through by Metabo-
Life® contains a unique,
clinically tested, patent-
pending formula on the
market that addresses this
rebound effect and is de-
signed to support your diet
and exercise to help your

(Weston, MA) - Thurs-
day, Nov. 20, is the 33rd
Great American Smokeout,
and the American Cancer
Society continues its legacy
of providing free resources
to help smokers quit.
The Great American
Smokeout was inaugurated
in 1976 to inspire and en-
courage smokers to quit for
one day. Now, 44.2 percent
of the 45.3 million Ameri-
cans who smoke have at-
tempted to quit for at least
one day in the past year, and
the Great American Smoke-
out remains a great opportu-
nity to encourage people to
commit to making a long-
term plan to quit for good.
With all the resources
available to help smokers
quit, there has never been a
better time to quit smoking,
and the American Cancer
Society is there to help.
If you smoke, make a
plan and set the Great Amer-
ican Smokeout, Nov. 20,
2008, as your quit date. By
calling the American Cancer
Society Quitline® at 1-800-
227-2345, people who plan
to quit will be able to speak
with a trained counselor and
receive free, confidential
counseling.
Studies have found that
Quitline can more than dou-
ble a person's chances of
successfully quitting tobac-
co. Callers to Quitline can
be cormected with smoking
cessation resources in their
communities, social support
groups, Internet resources,
and medication assistance
referrals.
Since its inception in
2000, Quitline has provided
counseling support to more
than 380,000 smokers.
The American Cancer
Society offers other free
resources - through Quit-
line and at www.cancer.org/
GreatAmericans - that can
increase a smoker's chances
of quitting successfully, in-
cluding tips and tools for
friends, family, and cowork-
ers of potential quitters to
help them be aware and
supportive of the struggle to
quit smoking. Studies show
the importance of social
support in quitting smoking,
as people are most likely
to quit smoking when their
friends, family, and cowork-
ers decide to quit smoking.
Popular online social net-
works such as Facebook and
MySpace are also becoming
support channels for people
who want to quit, and Amer-
ican Cancer Society Smoke-
out-related downloadable
desktop applications are
available on these networks
to help people quit or join
the fight against tobacco.
"A recent study in the
New England Journal of
Medicine found that social
networks are helpful in quit-
,ting smoking," said Janet
McGrail, Massachusetts
Vice President for Health
Initiatives at the American
Cancer Society. "Friends
and family can help the
most by being aware and
supportive of the struggle to
quit, and the American Can-
cer Society has resources to
help them show support for
their loved one who is trying
to quit."
Tobacco use remains the
single largest preventable
cause of disease and pre-
mature death in the United
States. Each year, smoking
accounts for an estimated
438,000 premature deaths,
including 38,000 deaths
among nonsmokers as a re-
sult of secondhand smoke.
Half of all Americans who
continue to smoke will die
from smoking-related dis-
eases.
Also imperative in this
effort to encourage people to
quit smoking are smoke-free
laws and higher tobacco tax-
es which make it harder for
people to smoke, and protect
nonsmokers from tobacco
smoke. The majority of U.S.
communities are now cov-
ered by smoke-free laws,
while forty-three states, the
District of Columbia, and
Puerto Rico have raised
tobacco taxes since 2000,
including Massachusetts
which after raising its tax
by $0.75 in 2002 increased
the excise by another $ 1 this
past summer. It is estimated
that the new Massachusetts
tax will generate $154 mil-
lion in revenue this year to
support the Massachusetts
Commonwealth Care Trust
Fund in delivering health
insurance to low-income
residents. Currently, the
state spends more than $1
billion through its Medicaid
program to pay for treating
people with tobacco-related
illness.

''Do not think that what your thoughts
dwell upon is of do matter . . . Your
thoughts are making you." - Bishop
Steere
Yes, you can transform yourself and
your life by renewing your thoughts. A
SCOTT DEWARE negative, defeatist attitude toward life
and its problems can only bring negative end results. A positive
attitude toward life attracts positive results.
How you kwk at a problem makes all the difference ... It
is an interesting phenomenon how two people view the same
situation so differently, according to how they think.
Have you ever thought about why some people say a day is
partly sunny and others, commenting on the same day, will say
it is partly cloudy? Or if a glass of water is half full, one person
will think of it as half fiiU; another person will think (tf it as half
empty . . . Who's the optimist . . . who's the pessimist? . . .
Yes, bow you k)ok at a problem, bow you look at life, deter-
mines whether it will be happy, full, and rewarding ... or gktomy,
depressing and unrewarding ....
What are your thoughts on your life today? . . .

yoiv finances might seem to

energies on those tasks that
need your attention.

information would help
uncomplicate them. On the
personal side, a friend might
need your advice.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Your Piscean
imagination is stimulated by
possibilities you see in a new
opportunity. But keep those
ideas to yourself until you
feel ready to translate them

Quincy Navy Reserve Chief
Asks Aid For Deployed 's Kin
Cont 'd From Page 1
'The situation is not the
same for the reservists," he
said. "These folks have to
reacciimate themselves to a
civilian lifestyle and a ca-
reer that they put on hold for
a year or more.
"What I find most im-
pressive are the families. For
someone on active duty that
deploys, there is generally
a support structure for the
families already in place.
"There are other spouses
from the unit that often live
in the same neighborhood
that understand each others'
difficulties and can lean on
each other.
"For the families of the
mobilized reservist, this
isn't necessarily the case.
'The other families in
the unit can, and often do,
live in other conmiunities
or even in another state and
sometimes they can truly
feel alone in their situation.
"These are the citizen
soldiers from our conmiuni-
Station in 19%, the South
Shore no longer has an ac-
tive duty military popula-
tion yet 90 reservists from
Quincy are mobilized.
"People of Quincy, I ask
you to reach out to the fami-
lies of our deployed military
members," said Orlowski.
'Try to lend a helping hand.
"Just something simple,
rake the yard, shovel the
driveway or offer to watch
ty that are carrying a heavy the kids so Mom can finally
burden and doing it quietly get a much deserved day
with incredible courage." off.

South Weymouth Naval Air you care."

city's coffers in fiscal year
2009.
All changes are effective
"on passage" by the coun-
cil s unanimous vote, ac-
cording to Jim Fatseas, chief
of staff for Mayor TTiomas
Koch who recommended
the changes.
New revenue of over
$200,000 could be added to
this year's funds, according
to Fatseas who warned that
such figures are only esti-
mates.
The more than 100 new
fees and fines take a bite out
of nearly all licensed and
inspected activities except
dog ownership.
Dog licenses remain at
$10 while the cost of a mar-
riage license will increase
by $10 from $35 to $45 and
business certificates, also,
increase by $5 from $35 to
$40.
It will cost twice as much
to get buried, but the change
is actually minimal with the
approved $20 fee per burial
permit for funeral directors
versus the past $ 10 fee.
Parking offenders will
likely think twice facing a
$25 fine for overtime park-
ing and 13 other violations,
ranging from obstructing a
driveway to double parking.
Scofflaws who ignore those
parking tickets will pay a
$35 penalty for late payment
and $50 if the fine payment
is really late.
"These are appropnate
fees." Fatseas said, noting
that the new fees are in line
with nearby communities of
the same size. Fatseas pre-
sented a spreadsheet with
fees charged by 36 cities
and towns in the state.
In at least one instance,
the new fee schedule is ac-
tually lower than in the past.
A review of building plans
will now only cost $50 ver-
sus a past charge of $ 1 50.
Department heads "were
careful not to make fees
higher than communities of
the same size," said Fatseas
who provided spreadsheets
comparing Quincy's fee and
fine schedule to a dozen oth-
er cities andtowns.
City To Double Heating
Assistance For Needy
Mayor Thomas Koch an-
nounced Tuesday that the
city will double its program
providing home-heating
assistance to Quincy fami-
lies thanks largely to the
Mayor's Cup Charity Golf
Tournament, which raised
$70,000 for the cause this
fall.
The City Council
on Monday approved a
$100,000 appropriation for
the program, double the
city's usual expenditure for
the program. But only about
$30,000 will be paid from
the city's budget, which
is less than the last several
years thanks to the charity
fundraiser.
'This is a win for our
faniilies who will be in des-
perate need of assistance
this winter, and it is a win
because we are providing
twice the assistance at al-
most half the cost to our
taxpayers," Koch said. "1
am incredibly thankful to all
the businesses, community
leaders, and residents who
contributed to this effort."
The program will
be run by the City and
Quincy Community Action
Programs, and all candidates
must be qualified by ()CAP
to receive aid from the City.
For more information, resi-
dents can call Tom Fabrizio
in the Mayor s Office at

the tournament were:

Koch Submits Preservation Budget
Mayor Thomas Koch
has recommended approxi-

lars in outlays from the
Community Preservation
Account (CPA).
An additional $296,800
would be transferred to the
CPA reserves for future
projects, bringing the total
budget to $1 .9 million.
The request was for-
warded to the City Council
Finance Committee.
The majority of Koch's
funding requests involve
$916,500 for debt service
for the purchase of conser-
vation properties in Ward 4
and Ward 1 .
Equal amounts of

He acknowledged that

In
1992, when crime
increased significantly in
Quincy Center, the Quincy
Police assigned two offi-
cers to bicycles to patrol the
streets and hot spots in the
downtown area. At the time,
and with the assistance of
the Special Operation Unit,
numerous arrests were made
and youths were moved off
comers in an effort to clean
up the streets and deter
groups from hanging in this
area of the city.
Today, the officers on bi-
cycles are members of the
Community Police Unit as-
signed throughout the city to
monitor and handle a wide
range of community related
issues. Though there still
remains an emphasis on
enforcement in the area of
Quincy Center, there is less
crime there today than in
1992, according to Quincy
police records. Community
Police Officers patrolling
on bicycle are highly vis-
ible and cover more ground
than an officer assigned to a

THE HISTORY CHANNE
• On Nov. 21, 1783, Jean-
Francois Pi 1 aire dc Rozier
and Francois Laurent make
the first untethered hol-air
balloon flight, flying 5 1/2
miles over Paris in about 25
minutes. On Sept 19, broth-
ers Joseph and Etienne
Montgolfiers had sent a
sheep, a rooster and a duck
aloft in one of their balloons
in a prelude to the first
manned flight.
• On Nov. 23, 1859, the
infamous Western outlaw
known as "Billy the Kid" is
bom on New York City's
East Side. Billy the Kid
called himself William H.
Bonney, but his original
name was probably Henry
McCarty. Before he was shot
dead at age 21, Billy reput-
edly killed 27 people in the
American West.
• On Nov. 19, 1907, Jack
Schaefer, the author of
"Shane," one of the most
popular Westerns of all time,
is bom in Cleveland. Shane
was the American version of
the valorous European
knight, who roams a lawless
kingdom righting wrongs
and striking down the evil
oppressors of the common
people.
• On Nov. 17, 1944, actor
and director Danny DeViio
is bom in Neptune, N.J. A
former hairdresser, DeVito
made his stage debut in
1969. He spent five years
playing cab dispatcher Louie
De Palma on the TV sitcom
"T^i."
• On Nov. 20, 1952, strug-
gling singer Frank Sinatra
agrees to a screen test for a
role in "From Here to Eterni-
ty." Sinatra was paid only
$8,000, but the role and an
Acaidemy Award for Best
Supporting Actor helped res-
urrect his career.
• On Nov. 18, 1966, Sandy
Koufax, the ace pitcher for
the Los Angeles Dodgers,
retires from baseball.
Koufax is perhaps most
famous for is his refusal in
1965 to pitch the first game
of the World Series because
it fell on Yom Kippur. Don
Drysdale pitched instead,
and gave up seven runs in the
first three innings.
• On Nov. 22, 1980, actress
and writer Mae West dies at
the age of 88. In 1926, West
produced her own play,
"Sex," about a gigolo. West
was arrested and spent 10
days in jail for obscenity.
Undaunted, she continued
writing racy plays until she
finally scored a Broadway
success with her 1928 play,
"Diamond Lil."

Crowley Considering A Run
CROWLEY
He isn't saying "yes."
He isn't saying "no."
But former Police Chief Robert Crowley acknowl-
edges that he is considering running
for the City Council in next year's
city election.
"I haven't made a decision yet," he
says. "I'll look at it after the first of
the year."
Crowley, as noted here last week,
has triggered speculation that he
might be a candidate by his atten-
dance at City Hall and License Board meetings. Lis-
tening intently and taking notes.
And when he's not there, he's watching the pro-
ceedings on Quincy Access TV at home. He is also
attending community meetings, like the ones on the
proposed Asian market at the former Boston Gear
Works site.
And he has also recently publicly opposed issuing
a license to the Sportsmen' Den to sell firearms as he
did as police chief.
"There's no need for a gun store in Quincy," he
says. "Show me the need."
He notes that police departments in some commu-
nities sell confiscated guns to dealers who in turn sell
them to the public.
He recalls while chief Quincy police had some 400
to 500 guns in the evidence room, which had been
seized in various crimes.
A gun dealer offered him $82,000 to $100,000 for
them. He and Captain Anthony DiBona listened to the
offer and turned the dealer down.
"We took the guns to the state police to have them
destroyed," Crowley says. "We weren't going to let
them get back out on the street."
Crowley, who is 61 , retired from the Police Depart-
ment June 1 , closing out a 38-year police career. He
grew up in Quincy.
"I've always had an interest in the community and
in the political field, too," he says.
Well, if he runs, would it be for councillor at-large
or ward councillor. He lives in Squantum, which is in
Ward 6.
"No, I'm going to pass on that for now," he says.
But he does add:
"If I do run, I won't be just throwing my name in. I
will be a very serious candidate."

WE NOTED LAST week that Precinct 5 of Ward 6
(Squantum School) had the biggest voter turnout in the
Presidential election with 82.97 percent.
But former Mayor Frank McCauley, defending his
native Houghs Neck, takes issue with us on the runner-
up honors.
We had Precinct 3, Ward 6 (former Beechwood
Center) in second place with 72 percent.
Actually, that spot belongs to Precinct 5 of Ward
1 (Saint Thomas Aquinas Hall) with an 81.80 percent
turnout.
And in third place was Precinct 1 of Ward 1 (Mer-
rymount School) with 80.09 percent.
Frank, doesn't miss much. But wonder if he knows
Ward 1 was the top ward in the city with a 75.30 per-
centage turnout. The city's was 71 percent.

I wrote about the destroyer that accidentally fired a tor-

That ship was the William D. Porter. My destroyer,

whose name I could not remember, were escorting
FDR to the Teheran Conference.
Well, I got a note from Frank Orlando of Hopedale

stroyer was the USS Hall and he was a crew member
at the time.
Frank had a sentunental attachment to the Hall. He
helped build it as a shipfitter at he Boston Navy Yard.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1930's postcard view of Quincy Square just
after the Granite TVust Company's building was built by
its Chairman Theophilus King. He insisted that the UJS.
flag fly every day from the top of the building as it does
today. Not discernible is the sign over Howard Johnson's
first restaurant on the left of the bank's entrance. King fi-
nanced Johnson on the condition he open a restaurant in
his new building. The old Quincy Savings Bank building
in the center of the picture is home today to the offices
of The Quincy Sun. Each bank's building entrance is
made of Hitchcock granite known in the trade as "The
Aristocrat." It came from the Hitchcock Quarry, on
Quarry Street, that was owned by The Quincy Quarries
Company of which King was President. To contact Tom

gonna miss all those TV
ads. What will I do without
them?
Maybe I'll move up to
New Hampshire or as I like
to call it now. Little Mas-
sachusetts. I'll still need a
couple of more jobs to sup-
port all those non-taxpayers
accepting a tax break, free
gasoline and pay their mort-
gages.
When I'm tired of work-
ing, I can sit back, kick up
my heels, smoke a joint and
raise a few retired grey-
hounds. Or I could retire to
Texas, take my Massachu-
setts pension, buy a cheap
house, forget about winter
ad pretend it's 1955 again.
Forty-seven percent of
the people can't be wrong,
or can they?

Rescuing The Mother Of The Bride
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you to Fashion Qual-
ity Cleaners, 67 Billings
Road, North Quincy.
Just as I was to leave for
my daughters New Hamp-
shire wedding I noticed
some kind of stain all over
the satin 'Mother of the
Bride' dress that I was to
wear within hours. I was not
sure whether it was body
lotion, hair conditioner or
something else. Full of de-
spair and stress, I went to
Fashion Quality cleaners
and they dry-cleaned my
dry-cleaned my dress im-
mediately attempting to re-
move the stains.
They called to tell me
the stains didn't come out
but they could try to wet
clean it. That would take a
couple more hours because
it would need to air dry be-
fore it could be pressed. As
I waited for the second and
last chance for wearing a
clean dress, I decided to go
to the 4 o'clock Mass at Sa-
dress all afternoon and did
it for me free. I can't thank
him enough!
There is the big advan-
tage and difference in going
to a locally family owned
cred Heart. Leaving church dry cleaners with onsite
1 turned on my cell phone cleaning services as opposed
and there was the message to a chain or other cleaners
that the stains were out and where the clothing is sent
to come and get the dress! out. They are there for you
I was so excited 1 went to when you most need them.

Lane And Ross
Prepare For Battle
By FRANK McCAULEY
State Rep. Myron N. Lane and former Mayor Charles A.
Ross were nominated for mayor in Tuesday city preliminary
election.
Lane led the held of Ave can- _>i-«^— i-i— —
didates with 4,807 votes followed
closely by Ross who had 4,478
votes.
Lane expressed his appreciation
for his vote stating, *in return for
this endorsement 1 intend to conduct
a clean, vigorous campaign, confined to the real issues be-
fore us. If I am elected Mayor 1 intend to give the city the
best municipal administration in its history."
Ross said, 'The vote indicates ultimate victory. It reflects
confidence throughout the city and is evidence of the ap-
proval of my pledge to continue the stability and progress
and betterment of Quincy."
(Editor's note: Ross, who served as mayor during the
1930s, would win the election. The 1942 city election was
for three-year terms for mayor and city election. The elec-
tion ended the staggered elections in place in Quincy since
1920.)
BURGIN MADE NAVY LIEUTENANT,
JENNESS WILL BE ACTING MAYOR
Mayor Thomas Burgin, who had announced that he
would retire from office at the end of his term to enlist in the
Armed Forces, said that he had been commissioned as full
lieutenant in the U.S. Naval Reserve.
The First Naval Division announced later that Burgin
had been assigned to the office of the supervisor of ship-
building at the Fore River Shipyard. He reported for duty
Monday, Nov. 16.
Ward One Councillor and Council President William
W. Jenness would serve as acting Mayor for the balance of
Burgin's term, which ends on the first Monday of January
1943.
Under the law, Burgin and Jenness will share the mayoral
salary of $% per week. Each received one-half ($48).

Quincy Youths Tour the World Singing
Mark J. Hogan, Eric
R. Jaukkuri and Joseph A.
Principato of Quincy, stu-
dents at Boston College
High School, and their fel-
low Concert Choir members
are no strangers to travel.
In the past two years, the
group has visited and sung
in Vermont, Prague, Ireland,
and a Christmas concert at
the White House. This past
April, they continued their
travels by taking yet another
journey, a nine-day multi-
city concert tour of Russia.
Under the direction of
Dr. Marina Rozenberg of
Quincy, herself a native of
Moscow, the choir expand-
ed its repertoire to include
Russian folk songs and
hymns, and even a song in
the indigenous Russian lan-
guage of Tartar.
The three young men and
the choir made their way
first to the town of Sergiev
Posad, to sing a friendship
concert with local musicians
and students. In what was to
become a recurring theme,
the hosts rolled out the red
carpet, interviewing them
on local television stations.
and putting their picture in
local newspapers.
Returning to Moscow,
the choir toured the Kremlin
and Red Square, as well as
the massive WWII Memo-
rial, which commemorated
the Red Army's defeat of
the invading Nazis. Before
leaving the city, they toured
the US Embassy, and met
with the US Ambassador to
Russia, Wilham Bums.
That night, the choir
traveled by overnight train
to Kazan, capital of the Re-
public of Tartarstan in cen-
tral Russia. Over the next
few days, they toured the
city and prepared for the
biggest concert of their ex-
istence: center stage at the
Kazan State University In-
ternational Choir Festival.
There, the 18-member BC
High concert choir would
sing in the same venue as
80-member choirs from
Moscow and Kazan.
Following Dr. Rozen-
berg's steady hand, the choir,
accompanied as always by
faculty basses Gene Holmes
'72 and Jeff Toto '99, rose
to the occasion, giving its
best performance to date,
singing hymns and love
songs, spirituals and folk
songs. Leaving the stage to
thunderous applause from
the crowd of music profes-
sors and professional musi-
cians, the "little choir from
Boston" gave interviews to
more local reporters, and re-
corded an interview for the
national broadcast network
of Russia that was beamed
across the country.
In the days that followed,
the concert choir sang the
Mass at the only Catholic
chapel in Kazan, performed
a friendship concert at an
English-speaking high
school, and toured the Rus-
sian Orthodox Raiphskey
Monastery in Lavra, sing-
ing Russian hynms for the
Bishop of Lavra himself.
In June, they represented
the state of Massachusetts at
the National Anthem Proj-
ect in Washington, DC. Dr.
Rozenberg with the choir
will close their 2008 itin-
erary with a trip to Italy to
sing at the Vatican for Mass
at St. Peter's Basilica on
November 28.

Mayor's Decision Awaited On High Rise Density
Mayor Thomas Koch has
not yet announced his de-
cision on a zoning change
which would allow high-rise
density for developments in
Business C districts.
The zoning change was
approved by City Council
on Nov. 10 by a 6-3 vote.
In order to be official,
Koch must sign off on all
zoning changes.
The change would af-
fect Business C parcels in
such areas as North Quincy,
Wollaston, Marina Bay, and
on Adams Street, Quincy.
Opponents, Ward 5
Councillors Douglas
Gutro of Ward 5, Dan
Ray mondi, Ward 2 , and
Brian McNamee, Ward 6
charged the change would
adversely affect the city's
neighborhoods, particularly
in their wards.
The issue has been con-
sidered several' times since
last December after a mo-
tion by Councillor Michael
McFarland.
Dozens of residents from
the Marina Bay area op-
posed the measure which
could allow an 80-unit de-
velopment abutting Marina

Bay and The Moorings.
Ward 6 Councillor Brian
McNamee said the issue was
not CHily about excessive
development near Marina
Bay but, also, "much more"
throughout the city.
McNamee and his con-
stituents exposed the change
because it could allow a
high-rise development of 80
units, rather than 25, on a lot
near Marina Bay.
Marina Bay residents
have been litigating the is-
sue in court for nearly four
years and the judge in Land
Court asked to be updated
on the council's decision.
Ward 2 Councillor Daniel
Raymondi , also , opposed the
zoning change as did Ward
5 Councillor Douglas Gutro
whose district includes a
large Business C parcel on
Adams Street.
Gutro has repeatedly
warned that a dense high-
rise development would
negatively shadow the
Adams Historical site and
impact the neighborhood
known as Hospital Hill
The largest parcels of un-
developed Business C zon-
ing are in Kevin Coughlin's
Ward 3 district on Newport
Avenue and off Squantum
Street..
Coughlin said he'd like
to see several neglected ar-
eas developed.
Councillor Michael
McFarland proposed the
change last December and
resubmitted it this year.
Councillors discussed the
proposal at least five meet-
ings before Monday's final
vote.

North Quincy Supermarket Hearing Continues Nov. 24
City Council will con-
tinue a public hearing on a
proposed supermarket on
Hayward Street Monday^
Nov 24, at 7 p.m. in North
The supermarket planned
at the site of the former
Boston Gear Works would
specialize in Asian foods,
according to Attorney Chris
Harrington who represents
C-Mart.
Ward 5 Councillor Doug
Gutro and Ward 6 Councillor
Brian McNamee held sever-
al meetings in recent months
regarding the proposal.
At those meetings, oppo-
nents voiced fears regarding
heavier traffic on the main
road, Hancock Street.
"We think there's ab-
solutely a need (for an
Asian supermarket)," said
Harrington who believes the
Asian population in North
Quincy is probably 30 to 40
percent.
Harrington said that
the proposed supermar-
ket would be, roughly, half
the size of the Hannafords
Supermarket on Hancock

fic, pedestrian congestion
or high incidents of crime.
In addition to two offi-
cers assigned to the Quincy
Center area, every ward in
the city has a community
Officer assigned specifically
to that area.
"The intention of the
Community Police Unit is
to monitor areas of the city
in which they are assigned,
interacting with residents
and business owners, keep-
ing visible to deter crime
and acting as a liaison be-
tween the community and
the police department," said
Quincy Police Chief Paul
Keenan.
'These officers get to
know the many faces in our
community, and in several
cases, they are able to as-
sist in identifying potential
suspects who they've seen
while patrolling in their sec-
tor of the city. Not only is
this a huge benefit for the
City of Quincy and our de-
partment, but to the Officers,
who keep fit and healthy by
utilizing bicycles as a means
of patrol," Keenan added.
Anderson Bicycle of
Quincy provided the Fuji
brand specialized Police bi-
cycles and maintains them
for the Police Department.
Paul Anderson, the owner,
recently donated a bicycle
rack to the department.

size of the Super Stop &
Shop on Newport Avenue.
Quincy High School audito-
rium.
In efforts to accommo-
date critics, Harrington said
that C Mart has dropped
plans for a restaurant and
food court and, also, sup-
ports an additional traffic
signal at Hayward Street.
The new traffic signal
would be synchronized
with the signal lights at the
Hancock Street entrance to
Hannaford's Supermarket
and at Billings Street.
Harrington, also, said that
C-Mart has offered to allow
Quincy Medical Center to
use a portion of the property
rent-free for three years for
a neighborhood clinic.
Under the plan, the
Medical Center would use
the area originally planned
for a restaurant for clinic.
Harrington believes there
have been "huge miscon-
ceptions" about the proposal
which has drawn hundreds
to neighborhood and City
Council meetings since
September.
Harrington also said that
supermarket proponents
outnumbered opponents at
City Council heanng with
as many as 400 persons fa-
voring the proposal and 1 00
opposing it.
The formal proposal in-
cludes a 23,000 sq. ft su-
permarket with 91 parking
spaces.
Plans for the project may
be reviewed at City Hall
during business hours.

CounciFs Public Hearing On Tax Rate Dec. 1
The preliminary real es-
tate tax rate will likely be
announced Monday, Dec. 1 ,
at 6:30 p.m. when the City
Council has scheduled a
public hearing on the city's
2009 tax classification.
Mayor Thomas Koch
and his administrative team
will prepare the recommen-
dations which must be ap-
proved by the council and
will determine next year's
real estate tax rate.
The tax rate will then
be approvedby the state
Department of Revenue.
Tax bills should all be
in the mail by the end of
December, according to
Chief Assessor Marion
Fantucchio who warned that
BICYCLE
all requests for abatement
must be filed in her office by
Feb. 1 or must have a Feb. 1
or earlier postmark.
No one has estimated
the new tax rate, but, on
Monday, councillors did
discuss what several called
the "dire" state of finances
and the possibility that state
aid to cities and towns could
be drastically reduced.
On the brighter side, the
city is expecting a $4 to $5
million budget break due to
reduced costs of employee
and retirees' health insur-
ance, but that can only help
so much.
Currently, real estate val-
ues are going down, accord-
ing to Fantucchio who told
councillors Monday that
"Generally, speaking, val-
ues have all gone down."
However, Fantucchio
said the city's housing val-
ues have not gone "to the
extremes" of other commu-
nities or other states.
Fantucchio said that ho-
meowners will be able to
access updated real estate
values on the city's website
within weeks. When real
values go down, tax rates
must increase.
Some residents may get
extra aid this year.
City Council recently
passed an ordinance submit-
ted by Ward 5 Councillor
E>ouglas Gutro which could
aid as many as 800 senior
citizens.
Another proposal sub-
mitted by Ward 3 Councillor
Kevin Coughlin would help
families with active mem-
bers of the Armed Forces.
Applicants for all abate-
ments must file the requests
before each deadline.

To Report Graffiti
Public Works Commis-
sioner Larry Prendeville has
set up a telephone hotline
for citizens to report graffiti
to his office.
Residents may call
617-376-1959 and leave
information as to the date
and location of graffiti and
Prendeville has promised a
speedy response.
Reports are forwarded to
individuals, utility compa-
nies or city departments for
action. The police document
and investigate serious in-
stances of such vandalism.
Markings on city prop-
erty are removed with a
specialized city-owned ma-
chine or painted over.
Prendeville said that Post
Office officials have "been
very responsive" to reports
of property damage and
vandalized mailboxes and
have pledged to continue.
However, graffiti is a
never-ending struggle and
he said that the DPW will
continue working with the
police department, the T,
and the schools, according
to Prendeville who said the
public's cooperation is es-
sential.
Prendeville said graffiti
is photographed and docu-
mented and officials keep
records and photographs
in efforts to track down se-
rial taggers who travel from
place to place leaving a spe-
cific marks.

Accused Church Thief Pleads
Innocent To Robbery
Mikayla's 'Lock Of Love'
In Memory Of Her Aunt
A 44-year-old Everett
man, who police say
specializes in church
robberies, has pleaded
innocent to charges of
stealing a wallet and
assaulting a woman outside
Covenant Congregational
Church on Whitwell Street.
Leon Hatfield, who was
arrested by Boston police
on outstanding warrants
on Oct. 3 and sent to
Bridgewater State Hospital
for psychiatric evaluation
was ordered held in $25,000
bail for hearing Dec. 9.
Judge Mary Orfanello
in Quincy District Court
ordered him to stay
away from the Covenant
Congregational Church and
the Seventh Day Adventist
Church in Braintree where
he is suspected of stealing a
woman's purse.
Quincy police allege that
he is the same man who
made off with the keys to the
Rev. Mary Louise Gifford's
car while the minister of the
Wollaston Congregational
Church was preaching on
the Ten Commandments.
•Earlier, Hatfield appeared
in Dorchester District Court
to face charges of driving
with a suspended license
and failure to stop or yield
for a police officer and was
released in $500 bail.
In the Whitwell Street
robbery, he was accused of
stealing the wallet from a
purse(unarmed robbery) and
elbowing a woman out of the
way when she tried to stop
him (assault and battery).
He is a person of interest
in at least eight church
thefts in Quincy and others
in Braintree, Weymouth,
Cohasset and Milton.

Six-year-old Mikayla
Kennedy recently got a
haircut after two years
without even a trim.
That neat, bouncy haircut
made a lot of people happy.
Mikayla's brother Alex,

the haircut is very special
for many reasons.
His sister's hair will help

Mikayla began growing
her hair two years ago for
a very special reason — to
honor the aunt she never
knew and the aunt for whom
she was named.
If her hair grew long
enough, Mikayla knew it
could be cut for a wig just
like the wig that her late
aunt, Michelle Kennedy,
was given so many years
ago.
Her aunt's wig was
made of real hair donated
by people of ages and the
wig concealed her baldness,
the side effect of her
chemotherapy treatments.
Over the past two years,
Mikayla's chestnut blonde
hair grew long enough for
a ten-inch donation of thick
healthy hair earlier this
month to "Locks of Love."

real hair wigs for cancer
patients who have lost their

Davis Requests Improvements
To 193 Traffic At Furnace Brook Parkway
Ward 4 Councilor Jay
Davis has asked the Coun-
cil's Public Work's Com-
mittee to set up a hearing to
investigate traffic improve-
ments at the Interstate 93
Southbound exit at Furnace
Brook Parkway.
The traffic exiting the
highway significantly im-
pacts the local traffic on
Willard Street, Furnace
Brook Parkway and neigh-
borhood side streets.
Davis said he expects
representatives form the
City's Traffic Department
and Mass Highway to be
present at the committee
to hear neighbor's con-
cerns and discuss possible
remedies. Davis has also
contacted Governor Deval
Patrick, Lt. Governor Tim
Murray and members of the
City's State House Legisla-
tive delegation asking for
their support.
Davis said rush hour traf-
fic exiting Interstate 93 does
not slow down as it passes
Ricciuti Drive and enters
the Furnace Brook Rotary.
In turn, this directly impacts
the ability of West Quincy
residents to travel neighbor-
hood streets. .
"During the last few
months I have been meeting
with West Quincy residents
including those who live
on Ricciuti Drive, Willard
Street, Furnace Brook Park-
way, Beverly Court, Maiden
Street, and Douglas Street,"
Davis said. "The area of the
Furnace Brook off-ramp is
dangerous and needs atten-
tion."
Davis said he envisioned
a stop sign or traffic signal
at the end of the ramp, simi-
lar to the stop sign that ex-
ists at Exit 6 off of Route 3
Southbound. "I have been
encouraged by the coopera-
tive efforts of the State and
City officials to work with
West Quincy Residents to
address this problem," Da-
vis said.
The date of the commit-
tee hearing, which is open
to the public, will be sched-
uled in December. For more
information on this project
neighbors are encouraged
to contact Councilor Davis
at 617-834-3945 orjdavis®
Adams Academy Topic
For Historical Society Nov. 20
The heritage of Adams
Academy, home of the
Quincy Historical Society,
will be the subject of a
program presented by Dr.
Edward Fitzgerald, execu-
tive director of the QHS,
Thursday, Nov. 20, at 7
p.m.
The free program will
mark a century since the
Adams Academy closed as
a school after nearly a half
century preparing boys for
life with an education of
a class with Andover and
Exeter.
Dr. Fitzgerald will dis-
cuss John Adams' decision
to endow the school and
how that decision reflected
Adams's ideas about educa-
tion, his native town and the
nation he helped to found.
He will also note the cre-
ation of the academy in the
years after the Civil War,
the achievements of the
school and the enduring ar-
chitectural contribution the
building makes to the city's
streetscape.
QHS President James
Edwards, a architect him-
self, will speak on the major
projects that are currently
underway, with the help of
the city and the state, to pre-
serve the academy building
for future generations.
•Note that the 7 p.m. start-
ing time is a half hour earlier
than most of the Historical
Society's programs.

If your parents are thinking
about a Reverse Mortgage,
you should talk with tnem.
And us.
If your parents are 62 years or older, a reverse mortgage can
help them secure the funds they may need to remain financially
independent and in their own home. But it is important that
you and they completely understand how a reverse mortgage
works. As a local, FHA-approved lender, we make sure that
you and your parents understand all the details, and that we
understand their situation, before we recommend one.
Call us to arrange a meeting at our place or yours.
And invite your parents to join us.

fD/lA^; 'End Drug Addiction Now'
His Battle Against Drug
Abuse Started As A Nightmare
Volunteers Sought
For Norfolk
County RSVP
ByTOMHENSHAW
The nightmare began for
Dale Freeman eight years
ago when his 18-year-old
daughter, Danielle, broke
her coccyx (tail bone) and
a doctor prescribed the drug
Qxycontin to kill the pain.
Everything went downhill
after that.
"Our liVes have been
sheer hell," said Freeman.
"She has been in and out
of drug treatment centers
and mental hospitals. She
has attempted suicide. Her
addiction degenerated into
using heroin."
Freeman had his daughter
arrested for stealing checks
from the family business.
She was given a choice of
two years in jail or drug
court. She picked drug court
and is now in rehabilitation.
"If you do the crime,"
said Freeman, "you do the
time. She is on the right
track now."
"But I worry about my
two sons who are 14 and
11 years old. 1 am aware of
serious drug problems here
in Quincy. It was reported
that we are 60 per cent
above the state average for
narcotic overdoses."
He joined Families
Anonymous , an organization
formed to support families
and friends of alcohol and
drug addicts, but it was not
enough for. the relentless
Freeman.
The result was EDAN
(End Drug Abuse Now),
an organization designed
"to create a safe, drug-
free community through
outreach, training and
DALE FREEMAN
support," now a keystone in
Mayor Tom Koch's fight on
drugs.
"When I discovered my
daughter's addiction," said
Freeman, "I didn't know
where to turn. We just don't
understand addiction. We
think it only happens in the
ghetto. Not so. It happens
everywhere.
"1 got angry. The drug
dealers are running around
with impunity. The cops'
hands are tied. No one talks
to them about it. They are
afraid to get involved."
One message delivered
by EDAN via community
awareness meetings,
information booths, fliers,
mailings and word of mouth
is this: Do what you can to
aid police by dropping a
dime on illegal activities.
"If you think drug
addiction is a personal
problem, you're wrong,"
said Freeman. 'The impact
on society is terrific.
When the police, firemen,
ambulances, trial and jail
time are involved, one addict
can cost a million dollars.
"The average cost of a
recovery center is $80,000."
EDAN approached then-
Mayor William Phelan about
a possible drug problem in
(Juincy, said Freeman, "but
he denied there was one."
Koch, for whom drugs in
the city played a major
role in his campaign, was
receptive.
Freeman, Nancy Holler
and Kathy Deady, all
members of EDAN, are also
on Koch's Drug Task Force.
Right now, EDAN is
working with the Quincy
Police Narcotics Division,
helping them acquire two
drug-sniffing dogs and
providing an anonymous
avenue for residents to
notify police of illegal drug
activities going down.
They also assist parents
and addicts find beds for the
addicts in crisis from a data
base list of more than 100
detox centers, rehabs and
halfway houses.
Members of EDAN
are trained to teach drug
awareness in Quincy
schools, targeting different
age groups, teaching them
how to resist peer pressure
and avoid the stigma of
snitching.
The group also has
been recruited to help
acquire 1,500 square feet
of industrial space to house
a 60-bed Oxycontin and
heroin addiction detox
center. The prospective
owner has a $1.2 million
budget for the purchase or
lease.
Eventually, Freeman
and EDAN would like to
do something about those
addicts who come out of
rehab and relapse into their
old ways. Their goals are
high.
"A lot of the kids have
dropped out of high school ,"
he said. "If you don't have a
high school education, you
can't get a good job. They're
depressed. Pretty soon they
are back to the old habits,
back to using drugs."
Freeman's ideal is the
Delaney Street Program,
begun in San Francisco
37 years ago by Dr. Mimi
Silbert, a onetime Quincy
resident, which is run by
and for recovering substance
abusers, ex-convicts
"and others who have hit
bottom."
Starting with a trucking
company, Delaney Street
now owns a Christmas
ornament company and a
restaurant and is 70 per cent
self-supporting. Qients sign
up for two years; most stay
nearly four.
"They leam skills," said
Freeman. "Those who lack
social skills have to talk
to people. After Delaney
Street, they're ready to work
outside. These people are
not trash. We've got to save
them."
The Norfolk County
RSVP Volunteer Program
is conducting a countywide
survey to identify needs for
volunteer services in each
community.
Non-profit community
organizations which utilize,
or wish to utilize, volunteers
in their work are encouraged
to contact Norfolk County
RSVP with information
about the organization, pop-
ulation served and services
needed.
"We are here to serve all
age groups throughout the
county. From pre-school
children to aging seniors,"
said Francis O'Brien, chair-
man of the county commis-
sioners.
"But very often, com-
munity organization in need
become so busy they don't
have the time or the staff to
recruit additional volunteers
; our office can help recruit
potential volunteers."
RSVP helps recruit and
place volunteers 55 years
and older in programs such
as reading tutors, emergency
preparedness and other iden-
tified conmiunity needs.
To become an RSVP
volunteer, contact Elizabeth
Larkin at 781-329-5728.

SHABU RESTAURANT HONORED. The Wollaston Garden Club presented the 2008 Beautifi
cation Award to eight Quincy businesses, including Shabu on Hancock; Street. From left are Wil
liam Lee, manager, Jimmy Liang, owner and Pat Artis, President of WoUaston Garden Club.
Wollaston Garden Club Honors
Businesses For Beautification
The Wollaston Garden
Club recently honored eight
local businesses for out-
standing civic beautifica-
tion efforts at their business
sites, while club members
and friends cleaned, pruned
and beautified public and
historic sites in preparation
for winter.
Committee Chair Jo
Costello said the eight busi-
nesses have set a high stan-
dard for civic beautifica-
tion in Quincy and raised
the goals for all businesses
throughout the city.
Beautification in busi-
ness areas has long been a
particular interest to Garden
Club members who hope to
inspire others to improve the
visual impact at their shops
and office buildings.
'Too many Quincy busi-
nesses lack visual harmony
and simplicity by overload-
ing their windows with sig-
oage of various fonts and
colors," said Pat Artis, pres-
ident.
Artis said that, too often,
there is trash on the side-
walks in business areas and
owners fail to add natural
materials, such as perennial
plants and shrubs.
The Club's 2008 Award-
Winning Business are as
follows:
• Century 21 Annex, de-
sign, choice of plant
materials and side plot
• Common Market, sea-
sonal plantings and
window boxes
• Fox & Hound, landscape
design and interesting
plant materials
• Hancock Tavern, lush
window boxes, clean-
liness and maintenance
of busy sidewalk
• Great Chow, simple har-
mony and ever-present
orchids in the win-
dows
• Keohane Funeral Home,
their business site and
care of Feimo and
Hancock Street inter-
section
• The Fours, seasonal plant
displays and excellent
maintenance
• Shabu, new, modem and
zen-like landscaping
The businesses were cho-
sen from sixteen nominees
judged for over-all aesthet-
ics, harmony, simplicity,
cleanliness and maintenance
as well as the use of peren-
nial plant materials.
Beautification committee
members are Artis, Costello,
Kay Borek, Valarie Roe-
Burrows, Jan Clifford, Ruth
Griffin, Janet Lynch and
Leah Shea.
Members from Historic
New England Volunteers
and community volunteers,
also, worked with garden
club members and com-
munity volunteers at the
Josiah Quincy House during
a morning of pruning the
ground shrubs recently.

with this ad on sat. Sjun-Ipm
Years ago while still with-
in my school years, I'd fre-
quently return home hearing
the laughter of houseguests
within our dining room.
There'd be Herbie Rourice,
Bill Barron, Joe Jackson
and their wives socializing
with my own parents, as
they would frequently do in
those days. The three men
mentioned here were deputy
chiefs on the job back then.
Entering the home I'd
pass by the room to share
hellos, knowing that I'd
have to walk the gauntlet of
fire department humor as a
did so. Too young, and not
on the fire department at that
time, that was a daunting
task, and a relief to have met
it when completed.
Years later, after my own
father retired, these were the
deputies I worked with then.
While I'd be rehearsing and
practicing the basic fire-
fighter skills, these were the
gentlemen who earned their
ranks, and demonstrated the
composure at a fire scene
that one only earns through
time and experience. These

were the gentlemen you'd
look at with confidence, re-
sponding to their direction
while acting in full trust of
their judgment. We were
never left disappointed by
them.
Through the likes of
them and my own father,
you knew what commitment
meant through their ex-
ample. You learned through
them the importance of con-
veying confidence to the

an emergency setting and
the importance of bringing
a sense of control during an
otherwise frantic scene. By
their actions, you came to
understand that the example
you show as a firefighter,
not only affects the public's
perception of you and other
firefighters, but also reflects
upon those who came be-
fore you, and those who will
come after you retire.
From these gentlemen
and their example, you
learned the importance of
giving the best you have
to give, while honoring the
pledge you made when you
first came on the job.

er connection to the past that
has moved on as well. I was
always grateful to bump into
him and others while they'd
relate some story of my own
father who passed some 12
years earlier. The acknowl-

bring the past into the light

somehow still among us for
that moment.
I am therefore writing to

ing a foundation of conmiit-

who have come before us is

Joe Jackson gave this
City the best he had to give
while setting the finest ex-
ample for those who knew
him and still remain. While
the burden now rests with
those of us left behind, it
will be a daunting task to
run the course and meet the
standards set before us by
Joe and others. At the same
time, it has been an honor to
learn from their example.
It is now our responsibil-
ity to bring their past into
the light of the present as
well, sharing that example. 1
am grateful to them for what
they have given us.

TOENAILS THAT HURT
An ingrown toenail is a
condition In which the comer
or side of a toenail grows
into the soft flesh of that toe.
The result is pain, redness,
swelling, and sometimes in-
fection. An ingrown toeneiil
usually affects the big toe. If
the pain is severe or spread-
ing, the podiatrist can take
steps to relieve the discom-
fort and help avoid compli-
catkms. If the toe is infected,
the doctor may recommend
using topical or oral antibiot-
ics for treatment. Common
causes of an ingrown toe-
nail may include wearing
shoes that crowd the toe-
nails, cutting the toenails too
short and an injury to the
nail. Left untreated, an in-
grown toenail can infect the
underlying bone and lead
to a serious bone infectk>n.
Ingrown toenails often oc-
cur from improper trimming,
but poor foot stoicture, he-
redity, injury, and infection
can be contributing factors.
Whatever is causing your
feet to hurt, we'd like you to
know there is experienced,
dedicated, professional foot
care available here in the
Quincy area. We offer foot
care for the family in an at-
mosphere of calm, compas-

When 'Trash' Is Still Useful
By CHERIE DEWAR
It is astonishing to see
numerous useful items set
curbside for trash pickup
around Quincy. It is a shame
to see these items disposed
of when they could still be
useful to someone else. Giv-
ing these items to charity is
a form of recycling. It can
be tough to find the time to
have a garage sale or to haul
useable materials to Good-
will, so here are two less
time-consuming options
where pickup service comes
to you!
Vietnam Veterans of
America: If you don't want
your discards cluttering
your house long after you
have sorted them out, this
organization has weekly
pickup dates you can choose
from, and pickup is rain or
shine. They have a wide net
of items they accept which
include stereos, TVs, all
bedding, clothes, shoes,
toys, tools, small furniture
and rugs, etc. They do not
accept large fumiture or
upholstered leather or vinyl
items (see bejow for another
option).
To schedule a pickup go
to www.clothingdonations.
org or call 800-775-VETS
(8387). Be sure to mark your
items with a "VVA." This
organization assists veterans
from the Vietnam War era.
Big Brother, Big Sis-
ter: Their motto says it all:
Clean Up Clutter for a Good
Cause. This organization's
mission statement is to help
children reach their poten-
tial through professionally
supported, one-to-one rela-
tionships with mentors.
Scheduling a pickup is
easy! They often send post-
cards to local residents stat-
ing the date they'll be in
your area, which is every
DPW
seven weeks, but even if you
don't have a postcard, some-
one can contact you with a
pickup date. To sign up, go
to www.bbbsfoundation.org
and click "Schedule a Pick-
up," or call 800-483-5503.
Simply mark the items with
a note saying "BBBS"
Large furniture like
couches, tables, and enter-
tainment centers are accept-
ed by this group, arranged
through a special pickup
by emailing donate (g bbb-
sfoundation.org or calling
774-776-7200. Some items
they will not accept are large
children's outdoor toys, en-
cyclopedias, textbooks or
magazines, skies and exer-
cise equipment, cribs, mat-
tresses, bed pillow or sofa
beds. Plan ahead as pickup
for fumiture may have a
two-month waiting period.
Goodwill: Good-
will at 625 Southern Artery
in Quincy, 617-745-4144,
accepts a wide range of
items at their attended drop
off door at the back of the
building. They do accept
fumiture (except sofa beds,
mattresses or baby furni-
ture). Sports equipment,
toys, clothing, dishes, work-
ing radios and TVs, books
and much more are accept-
ed. See there website for
details: www.goodwillma.ss.
Got Books?:
Books, CDs, DVDs, audio
books and videos can al-
ways enrich someone else's
life and are easily kept from
the waste stream with Got
Books? They provide free
pickup from your house-go
to w w w.gotbooks .com or
call 978-327-7600 to sched-
ule a pickup. They accept
anything in basic functional
condition, even textbooks,
but not encyclopedias,
magazines, newspapers, and
catalogues but these items
are recyclable in your blue
containers through Capitol
Waste.
Books for Troops and
Books for Teachers are two
programs that receive items
from this organization.
Engaging in charitable
giving keeps useful items
out of our landfills, saves
the city disposal fees and
helps fund the organizations
you give to. An added bonus
is that the estimated value of
your donated items to Big
Brother/Big Sister and the
Vietnam Veterans of Amer-
ica is tax deductible!

Dollars
and $en$e
by David Uffington
Squeeze Every
Dollar Out of
Home Budget
Stretching every dollar in
the family budget isn't
enough now. Finding spare
change, a few cents at a time,
among the household
expenses has become a
necessity for many folks.
Here are some ways to find
that spare change in the
kitchen:
• Look for recipes that
allow you to add less-costly
ingredients to stretch meals
further. Oatmeal flakes, for
example, can be added to
hamburger to make a meat-
loaf. Use leftovers or rice to
stretch soups into an addi-
tional serving or two.
• If the menus at home
have become a bit slim,
reverse the day — give the
kids grilled cheese sand-
wiches for breakfast and
eggs for dinner.
• Check grocery-store
sales flyers, and use coupons
whdh planning your weekly
menus. Don't let the
coupons lead to impulse
buying, however.
• When you find a good
food bargain, make meals
ahead and freeze them. Hav-
ing a freezer full of meals
will help avoid the tempta-
tion to eat out or buy conve-
nience food when you're
short on time or energy. Be
sure to package the meals
well and label with the con-
tents and date prepared.
• Use up leftovers. Search
for Internet food sites that let
you list the ingredi-
ents you have on
hand and then pro-
vide you with a
recipe using those
ingredients. Learn
how to freeze vegeta-
bles or finiit before
they go bad, or make
casseroles, or bake
bfead.
• Learn new ways to
stretch common ingredients
or make substitutions to use
what you do have.
Not all of your savings are
to be found in the kitchen.
Check the Internet for
ways to create products you
need out of inexpensive
ingredients. Drain cleaner,
laundry soap, oven cleaner,
hand soap, window cleaner,
bath and shower products,
fabric softener and bath and
tile cleaners can all be made
with a few simple ingredi-
ents. Many of them consist
of varying announts of vine-
gar, baking powder and an
inexpensive dishwa.shing
detergent.
Give up as many paper
products as you can. Pajier
towels, diapers and dinner
napkins all have cloth alter-
natives.
Before you buy at all, sign
up on sites such as Free
Cycle Ifreecycle.net] to give
away what you no longer
need and ask for what you
do. Check the Free section
on Craig's List for your area
[craigslist.org] for items
being given away.

(ARA) - If you're sell-
ing your home, you're not
just competing against the
house down the street any-
more. You're mixing it up
with desperate new-home
builders with pockets deep-
er than yours, banks willing
to sell foreclosed homes at a
loss, and buyers who know
that sellers are at a disad-
vantage. You definitely need
an edge.
Remodeling remains one
of the best ways to set your
home ahead of the competi-
tion. Upgrades to outdoor
areas that expand the liv-
ing space and add curb ap-
peal can help sell your home
faster and for a better price.
Homeowners seeking to im-
prove their living spaces are
not making the traditionally
popular - yet costly - up-
grades to kitchens and baths.
Instead, they are adding to
the curb appeal with outdoor
structures or landscaping if
they are planning to sell.
But did you know that
using high-quality materials
throughout your home can
also improve value and sal-
ability? Homeowners need
to make the whole package
appealing, which means it
has to be long-lasting, low-
maintenance and visually
attractive.
"Cheaper materials may
save money at the outset of
a renovation project, but in
the long run they reduce the
potential value of a home,"
says Richard White, an ar-
chitect who specializes in
custom homes.
In fact, in homes that in-
creased in value by at least
100 percent, owners spent
2.5 times more on improve-
ments than in homes where
the value increased by less
than 50 percent, according
to a study by Harvard Uni-
versity's Joint Center for
Housing Studies.
Diane Furness Honored By
Plymouth, South Shore Realtors
Several longtime agents
from Jack Conway, Real-
tor were recently inducted
into the Plymouth and South
Shore (PASS) Realtors 2008
Honor Society.
Among them was Con-
way-Quincy agent Diane
Furness. She was inducted
in recognition of her profes-
sionalism through volunteer
participation, educational
achievements and commu-
nity service this year.
Furness is a longtime
member of PASS, and was
involved with the "Dancing
with the Realtors" event to
benefit Habitat for Human-
ity.
Jack Conway Co. is cele-
DIANE FURNESS
brating its 52nd anniversary
as the largest independently
owned real estate company
in Massachusetts. There are
40 sales offices from Boston
to Cape Cod. The firm also
operates its own mortgage
company, Conway Finan-
cial Services.
White offers the follow-
ing insight into using high-
quality materials to enhance
the value of your home:
Choose timeless, not
trendy. Often, trendy build-
ing materials can't compete
with traditionally popular
ones for staying power and
durability. Choosing tradi-
tionally popular materials '
for yoiu: renovation can help
ensure your house is appeal-
ing to a wide range of buy-
ers through years of evolv-
ing-^ads.
"People trust building
materials they know," White
says. "If I grew up in a home
with Western red cedar sid-
ing, I know the qualities of
the wood and what it will do
for my home."
Long a traditional favor-
ite. Western red cedar has
a number of qualities that
make it a preferred, quality
material for decking, siding,
and the increasingly popular
outdoor living spaces that
can enhance a home's value.
White says. Natural preser-
vatives in the wood make
it very durable for outdoor
uses, even in more severe
climates, according to Web
site realcedar.org. Its texture
and coloration give it a rich,
natural beauty that enhances
interiors as well, in features
such as interior paneling,
vaulted ceilings, trim and
boxed-in beams.
One trend worth tapping,
however, is the movement
towards more eco-friendly
homes. Many buyers are
looking for homes that in-
corporate recycled materi-
als or new ones drawn from
renewable sources, energy-
efficient design and a mini-
mal carbon footprint. When
choosing products for your
remodeling project, consid-
er the steps the product took
to reach your home.
Curb appeal projects can
be as simple as sprucing up
the landscaping with a West-
em red cedar arbor, trellises,
or adding a wood fence to
increase privacy; or they can
take the form of a pergola
or even a gazebo or deck
to expand the outdoor liv-
ing space. From the small-
est project to the grandest,
Western red cedar's 'versa-
tility can add beauty to the
outside of a home
Synthetic materials such
as vinyl and plastic are
manufactured with nonre-
newable materials. Minerals
making up cement, stucco
and metal are mined from
the earth and not replaced.
Woods such as pine, fir,
and Western red cedar are
renewable resources, grown
and harvested sustainably.
The environmental costs of
wood production are also
much less than mineral or
synthetic materials. Produc-
tion of concrete requires 70
percent more energy than
wood building products and
releases 67 percent more
pollution into the air.
"Wood has a lower envi-
ronmental impact through-
out its life cycle than other
building materials" says
Paul Mackie of the Western
Red Cedar Lumber Associa-
tion.
Even if you have no im-
mediate plans to sell, and
are remodeling to improve
your enjoyment of your
home, remember that some-
day you may want - or need
- to compete for buyers in a
tight market.

Staging Your Home For A Quicker Sale
(NU) - Foreclosures
and high maintenance costs
mean that new homes go up
for sale faster than you can
say "down market." And
what is great for buyers -
more homes to choose from
- means that sellers need to
distinguish their properties
from the rest of the crowd.
Home staging, or tempo-
rarily redesigning a home
to appeal to buyers, can
give homeowners an edge
in an overcrowded market.
Staged homes look bigger,
newer and warmer. They
invite buyers to see them-
selves living in the home.

inexpensive tasks, from re-
arranging furniture, to rent-
ing contemporary living
room sets. Here are some
tips for staging homes:
• Declutter. When buy-
ers see overcrowded book
shelves and wrinkled tow-
els, they focus more on
the dingy details than the
architecture. But staging
means more than a thorough
cleaning: sellers should also
remove personal items, like
family photographs. Buyers
should picture their fami-
lies living in the home, not
yours.
• Make things look new. A
little paint can go a long way.
Light colors make rooms
look larger and brighter, so
use them to make your home
appear spacious. Wooden
floors and cabinetry make
big impressions, so make
sure that they shine. If any
wood looks dry or dirty, ap-
ply an orange oil for a quick
restoration job. Touch of Or-
anges Qeaner and Restorer
hides small scratches and re-
moves build-up, fingerprints
and grease from cabinetry,
wood floors and fixtures.
Hard water stains on
glass shower doors and win-
dows look unattractive, so
remove them with a special-
ized product like Bring It On
Qeaner, which uses oxygen
bleach to clean minerals
from glass and tile.
• Add small details. In
the kitchen, bowls filled
with fresh fhxit create an at-
tractive, colorful eyepiece.
Place vases filled with fresh
flowers in the bedrooms and
dining room. Put candles in
the bathroom. Small touches
make homes feel more invit-
ing

Great Outdoor Lighting Brightens
The Season for Holiday Guests
(ARA) - From twinkling
candles glimpsed through a
window to trees and shrubs
decked in brightly colored
strands, light can be the
warmest welcome for your
guests during the holidays.
And if you've been thinking
^bout enhancing the hghting
above and around your front
porch or door, the holidays
are a great time to put that
thought into action.
"People spend more time
than ever before in the out-
door spaces of their homes,"
says Rick Seidman, presi-
dent and chief executive
officer of Quoizel Inc. of
Goose Creek, S.C. "The
front and back entry areas
have become living spaces
frequented by friends and
family. This has led to con-
sumers wanting to decorate
and light these areas with
the same importance as the
inside of their home."
Attractive exterior light-
ing not only enhances your
enjoyment of your home, it
adds curb appeal and value,
and can welcome guests
with a feeling of warmth
and security all year round.
Good lighting is especially
important during the holi-
days, when more guests will
be coming to your door, the
experts agree.
Homeowners thinking
about upgrading their ex-
terior lighting should keep
some basics in mind, includ-
ing scale, style, visibility
and planning.
"Frequently, you see
homes with outdoor lanterns
that aren't large enough for
the home or the area it's
lighting," says Rick Wie-
demer, Jr., certified lighting
consultant and president of
Hinkley Lighting in Cleve-
land. "When choosing a
lantern to hang above your
door, consider viewing your
home's entry from the curb
or coming up the driveway
as a guest would."
A good rule of thumb
for choosing a right-sized
lantern is to pick one that
is at least a third the size of
the door, says Mark Rott-
ner, president of Artistic
Lighting and Designs in
Norcross, Ga. "That means
if your door is 7 feet high,
your lantern should be 27
to 30 inches long," he says.
"If you decide to go with
a lantern on either side of
the door, then each should
be about 25 percent of the
door's height."
Appropriately sized lan-
terns nol only provide am-
ple illumination for the area
you're trying to light, they
also impart elegance to a
façade, says Joe Rey-
Barreau, education consul-
tant for the American Light-
ing Association (ALA) and
an associate professor at the
University of Kentucky's
School of Interior Design.
"They really are a show of
confidence."
The style of the light-
ing is also important, the
experts agree. The style of
your outdoor lighting should
match both the design of
your home's exterior and
the lighting design inside
the house.
"Lighting should be se-
lected to accentuate the ar-
chitecture, not detract from
the beauty of the structure,"
says Jeffrey R. Dross, se-
nior product manager with
Kichler Lighting in Cleve-
land. What's more, he adds,
"it's important the entryway
lighting has a relation with
driveway lights, landscape
lighting, deck lighting and
the rest of the lighting on
your home. You want to
avoid the 'flea market' ap-
proach where all the pieces
are different."
If your home is colonial,
Victorian, traditional , crafts-
man or contemporary, be
sure to look for lighting that
pairs well with the architec-
tural style. For example, if
the exterior color palette is
warm, then brown or bronze
light fixtures may be more
appropriate. Dross points
out.
Don't be afraid to incor-
porate some trends into your
exterior lighting design.
Some hot exterior lighting
trends include the addition
of crystals to different style
fixtures, and - for upscale
homes - natural gas lanterns
in copper or brass. Layer-
ing several types of lighting
at an entry is also popular,
Wiedemer says. For ex-
ample, if your door has an
overhang, you may place re-
cessed lighting in the over-
hang, paired with decorative
lanterns on either side of the
door and path lighting lead-
ing up to the door, he says.
"There's more variety
than ever in outdoor light-
ing," Rey-Barreau says.
"Pluralism is the trend."
Homeowners looking to
temporarily enhance their
outdoor lighting for the
holidays have a host of op-
tions as well. Rottner likes
the idea of putting exterior
lights on a dimmer to create
a warm, comforting mood.
Wiedemer recommends
adding low-voltage land-
scape lighting, which is easy
to install and can be moved
or added on to in the future.
Attractive outdoor light-
ing can be a great way to
welcome your guests at the
holidays, the experts agree.
"A warm glow by your front
door indicates your person-
ality, and the personality of
your home," Rottner says.

terior lighting trends, de-

Cedar or Vinyl
Siding?
a I have a 31 -year-old
raised ranch with
shake siding. The
MMith side of the houjte gets
all the sun and the shakes
are dilapidated. To rp-sid4>
with vinyl on all sides, the
estimated cost is $10,000.
Is it advisable to try and
replace the shakes only on
tlie one side? Will this
reduce its resale value? —
Piiayada B., Middlebury,
Conn.
A, That's a fmigh rail,
• because siding mater-
ial is such a personal choice.
I know for sure that the dam-
aged and deteriorating sid-
ing is affecting ihc value of
your home, and that a qualt
ty repair will maintain or
raise that value.
My question to you is thi.s:
If it will cost $10,000 to
sheathe the entire house in
vinyl siding, what will it cost
to just redo the cedar shakes
on the one side? If the cost is
less or comparable, then
consider going with new
cedar shakes.
There are at least an equal
number of benefits to cedar.
You're maintaining the
house, which will maintain
its value Cedar is a "grppji"
choice of material (it's
renewable and has less envi-
ronmental impact), and it
lasts just as long as vinyl sid-
ing when properly caicd for.
New cedar will look strik
jngly different in color from
the older shakes on your
home, but there are methods
to "weather" it so it will
blend a bit tjctter. Plus, there
arc homcbuycrs who will
specifically want all-cedar
siding rather than a mix of
siding materials. Learn more
about cedar siding by visit-
ing http://www.ccdarbu-
rcau.org.
If you decide to use vinyl
siding on that one side, make
sure the contrattor knows
his material and knows how
to prevent deterioration at
the comers where the vinyl
meets the cedar siding on the
rest of ihc house. Ccriain
materials will speed up dete-
rioration of the wood
shakes, and colors teaching
from the shakes could stain
the edges of the siding. A
good buHcr material will be
needed between the two.
If you redo the entire house
in vinyl, then read up on the
care and maintenance of
vinyl sidmg. While it does
needs less maintenance than
wood siding or shakes, vinyl
siding is not repair- or main-
tcnancc-frcc. It must be pro-
tected from extreme heat
(such as barheciie grills) and
corrosive chemicals, and
should still be cleaned on a
regular basis.

A Job Well Done
On Saturday, Nov. 8, 2008, at approximately 5:25 p.m..
Officer Matt Patten responded with several other Quincy Po-
lice units to the area of Stop and
Shop on the Southern Artery on
a report of an unarmed robbery
that just occurred.
While enroute, Quincy Po-
lice communications informed
responding units of the sus-
pect's description who had sto-
len a woman's wallet and fled on
foot towards Roxie's market and
the McDonald's restaurant.
Upon arrival. Officer Daniel
Church was flagged down by
a male in the McDonald's res-
taurant lot, who identified him-
self as one of the loss preven-
tion officers from Stop and Shop. He told the Officer that he
followed the suspect into McDonald's and he was standing
in line now.
Officers Church and Patten went inside the restaurant
and approached the suspect, who glanced over at them then
immediately looked in the opposite direction towards the
exit. Fearing the suspect was going to flee the restaurant,
the Officers led the suspect over to a secluded area of the
restaurant. The suspect then began to resist by pulling away
and was guided to the ground and placed in handcuffs.
The suspect regained his com[X)sure and was advised of his
Miranda warnings by Officer Church. As the suspect was ly-
ing on the ground. Officer Church conducted a pat frisk of the
suspect and located a woman's wallet in his front right pock-
et and a black case containing a digital camera in his left
front pocket.
As the suspect was led out to a Police cruiser, he vol-
untarily stated, "I took that wallet from the woman's bag.
I have a drug problem. I wanted to get high."
The suspect then unfolded the events.
He said he was in Stop and Shop when he spotted a wom-
an shopping with her purse in the child seat of the shop-
ping carriage. The purse was open and he could see the wal-
let, so when the woman looked away, he reached into her
purse and removed her wallet, then put it in his pocket and
walked away. When asked if he took the camera too, the sus-
pect stated that he did not, but could not provide an explana-
tion as to why he had a camera with him.
Officer Mike Duran interviewed the loss prevention Of-
ficer while enroute back to the store to locate the victim. The
loss prevention Officer said that he used security cameras
to observe the suspect reach into the woman's purse and re-
move something, then leave the store. The loss prevention
Officer exited the security office and explained to the woman
what had transpired and advised her to wait the arrival of the
Police, then followed the suspect over to McDonald's res-
taurant.
Officer Duran met with the female victim, who stated that
it was her camera that was taken from her purse. Officer Du-
ran found identification in the purse and had the store make
an announcement requesting the owner of the purse come
to the service desk. Minutes later, this (second) victim ap-
peared.
This woman was unaware she had been victimized,
but was sure that she had her wallet in her purse when
she entered the store. She could not recall anyone
in close proximity to her or her purse while shopping.
During the booking process. Officers located the Massachu-
setts driver's license of the second victim in the suspect's
clothing. The stolen property was photographed for evidence
and then returned to the victims.
A copy of the security surveillance video clearly showed
the suspect reach into the purse, remove an item and quickly
walk out the store. This tape was placed into evidence for
court purposes. The suspect, a 48-year-old homeless man,
was charged with two counts of "Larceny from a Person."
Nice Work!
In this case, both victims provided an opportunity for the
thief, but leaving their purses unattended and exposed. By
taking an item out of the purse rather than the entire bag, the
victims wouldn't catch on until much later, giving the sus-
pect a greater chance to distance himself from the scene of
the crime. The suspect in this case didn't even leave the im-
mediate area, helping himself to the McDonald's menu with
someone else's cash.
Remember: two important considerations; Do not bring a
purse/pocketbook when you go shopping. Other than keys,
your license, a credit card and/or cash, nothing else is re-
ally needed when shopping. Items stolen in a pocketbook
may be credit cards, checkbooks, license and other personal
information that will all have to be cancelled or re-issued.
This is often the first step a criminal takes to steal another's
identity.
Other items may be sentimental and never be replaced.
Secondly, leave your pocketbook in the car out of sight. Put
it under the seat or in the trunk so that it is in a secure place.

Next Up: North Quincy On Thanksgiving
Quincy Snaps 3- Game Skid
In Convincing Fashion
By SEAN BRENNAN
A 26-6 thrashing of
Randolph High School last
Friday afternoon at Veter-
ans Memorial Stadium puts
the Quincy Presidents (4-6
overall, 2-4 in the Patriot
league) in a position to end
the 2008 season on a two-
game winning streak. Quin-
cy concludes its year with
the annual Thanksgiving
Day rivalry game against
North Quincy (Nov. 27, 10
a.m.).
Quincy scored all of their
points in the first two quar-
ters and jumped out to a 26-0
halftime lead against the
Bulldogs. This lead would
hold up as the Presidents de-
fense held Randolph score-
less until the fourth quarter.
The Bulldogs' garbage-time
touchdown put the final
score at 26-6.
Quincy and Randolph,
playing in the first of six
crossover divisional Patriot
League games (Keenan Di-
vision vs. Fisher Division)
over the weekend, a slate of
games that made up the first-
ever Patriot Bowl Weekend,
started the game in rainy and
windy conditions, but the
bad weather did not seem
to cause the Presidents any
trouble early.
On their first possession
of the game. Coney's of-
fense methodically drove
down the field setting up
the first scoring chance of
the contest. Senior running
"back Zach Manning broke
the 0-0 deadlock when he
scored on a 24-yard run. Se-
nior placekicker Mark Gil-
body successfully converted
on the point after attempt
(PAT) and after five minutes
of play, Quincy took a 7-0
lead that they would never
relinquish.
After the Presidents' de-
fense forced the Bulldogs to
punt the ball away, the of-
fense, and especially the run-
ning game, took advantage.
FOOTBALL
Quincy - 26
Randolph - 6
Senior Tim Lewis capped
off Quincy 's second posses-
sion of the first quarter with
a 10-yard touchdown run
of his own. Gilbody's PAT
was unsuccessful and after a
quarter of football the Presi-
dents led Randolph 13-0.
The second quarter was
more of the same for Quin-
cy. Another three-and-out
on Randolph's first offen-
sive possession gave the
ball back to Quincy. Look-
ing to spread the wealth on
offense, this quarter saw the
Presidents' passing game
get some love. Junior quar-
terback Lance Peterson (2
TDs) connected with se-
nior wide receiver Anthony
Raddatz on a 1 3-yard touch-
down. A failed two-point
conversion run put the score
at 19-0 Quincy.
Peterson's right arm fu-
eled another Quincy scor-
ing drive later in the quarter.
This time around he found
Gilbody open along the side-
lines for a 35-yard touch-
down pass. Gilbody would
connect on his PAT attempt
for the 26-0 halftime lead.
"That win was like a
breath of fresh air for the
team," said head coach Bill
Reardon. "We ran the ball
well in that first quarter,
but give Randolph credit,
they adjusted to our run-
ning game in the second
quarter. But that opened up
some passing lanes and we
got that part of the offense
working well in the second
quarter."
For the rest of the game,
Quincy played a game of
keep away, never letting the
Bulldogs get into any type of
riiythm on offense, and con-
trolling the ball when they
had possession. Randolph's
Ricky Igbani did score on a
fourth quarter 5 -yard touch-
down run, but by that point
the outcome of the game had
long been decided.
"Having the 26-0 half-
time lead allowed the coach-
ing staff to give some of our
starters a rest and allowed
us to give some other guys
reps," Reardon said. "With
Thanksgiving coming up
next and because you never
know when injuries will pop
up, it was good to get every-
one some time on the field."
The 26-6 victory over
Randolph helped to snap
a season-high three game-
losing streak for the Presi-
dents. Their last win was a
3-0 victory over Whitman-
Hanson on Oct. 17, which at
the time gave Quincy a 3-3
overall record.
"There was a sigh of re-
lief after this win," added
Reardon. "We had lost
three straight, but against
Randolph, we went back to
playing Quincy football. We
were physical and that is
more our style.
"The team had hit a little
lull, but this win gives us
some momentum heading
into the game against North
Quincy."
Notes: Quincy 's 4-6
record (not including the
Thanksgiving Day game
versus NQ) is a one-game
improvement over last
year's 3-7 finish... Duxbury
HS defeated Hanover HS,
47-13, Saturday night at
Whitman-Hanson HS to win
the inaugural Patriot League
Championship between the
Keenan and Fisher Division
wiimers. Duxbury (10-0)
will represent the league in
the state playoffs. . . The first
Patriot League Champion-
ship will be the last. Next
year, according to league
ccmches, both the Fisher and
Keenan Division champions
will earn a spot in the state
playoffs.

SENIOR JOE VIALPANDO hits the hole versus SUver Lake HS last Friday at Veterans
Memorial Stadium.
Raiders ' Record Falls To 6-4
JUNIOR TERRENCE STALEY (#45) breaks the goal Une for the Raiders' only touchdown of
the game against Silver Lake. North dropped its second straight game 23-6.
North Quincy Stumbles Against Silver Lake, 23-6
The North Quincy Red
Raiders stumbled to a 23-6
loss at the hands of the Lak-
ers from Silver Lake High
School last Friday night at
Veterans Memorial Stadium
in the second of two Patriot
League cross-divisional
games that were held in
Quincy.
The loss. North Quincy's
second straight, dropped
the Raiders overall record
to 6-4. North can turn this
late season slide around
on Thanksgiving when the
team squares-off .against
city rival Quincy HS. The
Raiders will be looking to
earn their first holiday vic-
tory in the last nine seasons.
The Presidents will bring a
4-6 loverall record into the
Thanksgiving Day game.
The contest last Friday
night pitted the two teams.
North Quincy and Silver
Lake, who had finished in
second-place in their re-
spective divisions of the
Patriot League. The Raiders
finished behind Hanover HS
in the Fisher Division as a
result of their 16-13 loss to
Middleboro HS on Novem-
ber 7. The Lakers finished in
second place in the Keenan
Division behind eventual
league winner Duxbury HS.
Against the Lakers, the
only offensive score for
North Quincy came when
junior running back Ter-
rence Staley scored on a
short touchdown run. The
Raiders did not convert on
the subsequent two-point
conversion attempt.
North Quincy now has a
week to prepare for Quincy.
These Raiders, with their
strong and balanced offense
and hard-hitting defense,
have a chance to end the
record nine straight wins
that Quincy has racked up
since starting the winning
streak with a 21-13 victory
in 1999. The Raiders have
come close over the years,
losing 12-7 in 2001, 12-7 in
2002 and 10-7 back in 2006.
Last year. North Quincy en-
tered the game as the better
team record- wise on paper
(6-4 record) but dropped a
28-7 decision to the Presi-
dents (2-7 overall).
The 6-4 record that North
has at this point in 2008
matches the 6-4 record they
had at the same time in 2007 .
The goal this year will be to
pick up that elusive seventh
victory.
Notes: The Quincy Sun
will be running its annual
Thanksgiving Day football
edition in the Nov. 25 issue.

Honored For Contributions To Healthy Education
Retired Quincy Teacher Kathleen Bertrand
Inducted Into New Agenda Hall of Fame
Kathleen Bertrand, of
Lakeville, MA, a former
Health and Physical Educa-
tion teacher in the Quincy
Public Schools for 35 years,
was recently inducted into
the New Agenda: Northeast
Hall of Fame at a luncheon
on Nov. 2 at the Woodland
Country Club, Newton.
New Agenda: North-
east is an organization that
endeavors to promote the
advancement of girls and
women in sport and which
recognizes the accomplish-
ments of girls and women
in sports throughout New
England.
This year, Bertrand was
selected for the Hall of Fame
for her contributions as a
35-year Health and Physical
Education teacher in Quin-
cy schools. She fought for
equal pay for women in the
1970s. A Bridgewater State
College graduate with BS
and MS degrees, she went
on to get a MA in Critical
and Creative Thinking from
UMass-Boston in 1996.
She is currently retired
from teaching and as a staff
writer for the All-American
Girls Professional Baseball
League Newsletter- where
she had interviewed all liv-
ing members of the league

happened in their lives after
the women's baseball league
folded in 1954.
At present, Bertrand
writes an informational
coliunn tided "Yesterday's
News" for the newspaper;
the column includes fun
facts and news about the
players and the league.
In 1977, she was a con-
vention speaker at the Mas-
sachusetts Association of
Health, Physical Education,
Recreation and Dance. She
spoke about the "Poly-Arts"
approach to Physical Educa-
tion and presented the Poly-
Arts Program, "Peter Pan,"
that included a cast of over
60 students.
She is co-founder of the
business "Gals in Sports"
with Linda Lundin. Since
1995, the purpose of "Gals
in Sports" has been to honor
and promote the achieve-
ments of women in sports.
In her speech to the group
at her induction, she cited
Amelia Bloomer's efforts in
creating bloomers because
she wanted to enjoy the in-
dependence that came with
the invention of the bicycle.
She also noted the struggle
of women who played for
the love of sports despite
the social stigmas thrown at
women athletes regardless
of their skill.
Bertrand credits the
passage of Title IX in the
1970s, as a legislative mile-
stone that calls for the equal
treatment under law for girls
and women in sports.
She said:
"As an advocate for
Women in Sports I believe
that the continuing struggle
for equality for women in
sports today is a part of
a larger life struggle for
women to be recognized for
their achievements and to
be rewarded with leadership
roles."

Supplements Can Serve As Stress Buffer
(NAPS) - When it comes
to reducing stress, many
believe following the right
diet and taking nutritional
supplements can often be a
big help. Experts say when
people are stressed, they do
not always eat as much or as
well. Here are some tips:
• Eat smaller meals more
frequently to maintain stable
blood sugar levels. Make
sure protein and fiber are
part of every meal.
• Exercise. It bums calo-
ries and helps to fight stress.
• Look for a natural -food
multivitamin containing B
vitamins and minerals to
help convert food to energy.
B and C vitamins to help
support the body's ability to
handle stress, chromium to
promote stable blood sugar
levels, and iodine to support
healthy thyroid function and
metabolism. Antioxidants
are also found in natural -
food multivitamins and help
to protect tissues and cells
from damage caused by
stress as well as exercise.
Some say this type of
natural whole-food multi-
vitamin - as well as herbal
supplements, probiotics,
omega-3 fish oils and anti-
oxidants, such as CoQlO -
from a reliable source, such
as The Vitamin Shoppe, can
help to guard against defi-
ciencies.
This can help ensure that
other aspects of helath and
fitness - such as hair, skin,
nails, the immune system
- are not sacrificed during
times of stress.

Most People Use
Too Much Salt
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
Sodium, sodium, sodium!
Medical people continually
tell us to cut down on it How
much is too much? Many
packaged meals contain 10
percent to 40 percent What
does that percentage mean?
What are the limits you sug-
gest?—S.W.
ANSWER: Most people
use too much sodium (salt,
sodium chloride). The upper
limit on sodium isn't my sug-
gestion. It comes from a pan-
el of experts, and often differ-
ent panels come up with dif-
ferent limits. One group sets
the upper daily limit at 2,400
mg of sodium. Another
would like p>eople to use less,
somewhere in the range of
1,200 mg to 1,500 mg.
The 2,400 mg amount is
equal to one teaspoon of salt.
That doesn't mean you're
allowed to fill up a teaspoon
with salt and use that whole
teaspoon on food through-
out the day. it indicates total
sodium intake. People get 77

sodium from processed and
restaurant foods, things like
commercial soups, frozen
foods and luncheon meats.
Another 12 percent comes
from the sodium found natu-
rally in foods. Six percent
comes from salt sprinkled at
the table, and 5 percent from
salt added during cooking.
You can cut 1 1 percent of
your sodium intake by elim-
inating the last two sources.
For salt added during the
processing of foods, you
have to read labels.
The percentage of sodium
listed on labels indicates the
percent of the recommended
daily sodium intake found in
a serving of that food.

NEW ORAL BACTERIA IDENTIFIED
It may suiprise you to know that
more than 600 bacteria lives in the
human mouth. As you might imag-
ine, these bacteria have the po-
tential to cause variois pfot)lems,
from tooth decay to bad breath to
gum disease. With this is mind, it
is important to identify unrecog-
nized species of mouth bacteria
if we are to find more effective
ways of preventing and treating
oral diseases. Thus, it comes as
good news that British research-
ers have identified a new species
of bacteria that may tie associated
with tooth decay and gum disease.
In fact the researchers found
three new strains of Prevotete

lining of the mouth. The new fad-
ing may help combat penodontitis.

Slars
ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Although your energy
level is high, be careful not
to commit to too many pro-
jects at this time. You'll do
better focusing on just a few
tasks rather than spreading
yourself too thin.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) Your heart might be lead-
ing you in one direction, but
pay attention to your keen
Bovine intellect. I'm cau-
tioning you to think things
through before making any
commitments.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Your "serious" Twin has
been dominant in your life
for quite a while. It's time
now to let that "wilder" half
take you out for some good
times — perhaps with some-
one very special.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Career aspects are high
for Moon Children who
make a good impression.
Show people not only what
you can already do, but also
how you can be more valu-
able to them in the future.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) Things start to brighten
for the Lion's immediate
financial future. But be care-
ful to resist the urge to
splurge. You need to tuck
something away to help you
through another tight period.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) Having to do
too many tasks in too short a
time could lower your mood
to just above the grumbling
level. But if you handle
things one at a time, you'll
get through it all soon
enough.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Your usually
carefully made holiday plans
could be subject to change
later this month. Use this

week to prepare for that pos-
sibility by starting a Plan B
just in case you need it.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Be careful
about joining a colleague's
plan to solve a workplace
problem. Investigate it thor-
oughly. Otherwise, you
could find yourself in a
predicament with other asso-
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 2 1 ) Slow
down that high-paced whirl
you've been on. Spending
quiet time alone or with peo-
ple you care for can be both
physically and spiritually
restorative.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) Make sug-
gestions, not demands.
You'll be more successful in
getting people to follow your
lead if you exercise quiet
patience instead of strong
persuasion to get your ideas
across.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) You still
need more facts before you
can make an informed career
choice. One note of caution:
Be careful about whom you
ask for that informjuion; oth-
erwise, you could be misled.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Changing situa-
tions through the end of the
week could lead to some
challenging opportunities
for those perspicacious Pis-
ceans who know how to
make them work to their
advantage.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
have a way of being both
daring and cautious, traits
that could make you a
research scientist or maybe
even a rocket-ship designer.

It's not a choice most people like
to think about, but the selection of
a funeral home is a key decision for
a family in bereavement. Nothing
can erase the loss of a loved one,
but it eases the burden when the
arrangements are carried out by
trained professionals who are sensitive to the needs
and concerns of bereaved people. Many people now
make such choices by electing to purchase pre-need
plans.
We, at the Deware Funeral Home, invite you
to learn more about the thoughtful advantages of
pre-planning and funding the funeral service. Our
pre-arrangement literature will be helpful to you, as
well as those close to you. In quiet privacy we shall
be pleased to provide informed counsel and attentive
answers concerning pre-arrangement.
Any discussion is in the strictest of confidence and
under no obligation, of course. . .

tions which fill existing
positions vacated by retire-
ment.
Barron congratulated
the appointees, calling
them "three great guys who
worked very hard."
Deputy Chief Griffith, a
21 -year veteran of the de-
partment, was promoted
to lieutenant in 1996 and
captain in 2002. He is a
graduate of Massachusetts
Maritime Academy.
Captain Ceurvels, a for-
mer Marine, joined the de-
partment in 1977, and has
been a Quincy resident for
more than 30 years.
In his formal recommen-
dation of Ceurvels, Acting
Chief Barron noted, "His
grasp of emergency incident
priorities is outstanding."
Ceurvels served in sev-
en fire stations, has been a
leader at the Wollaston fire
station where he completed
safety renovations at that
station.
Lt. Wirtz has been a fire-
fighter since 2003 and, ac-
cording to Barron, "an ef-
fective team member."
Koch will be appoint-
ing a new chief for the fire
department after he re-
ceives the results of a new
Civil Service examination.
The former chief, Timothy
Pettinelli, resigned July 15.
Koch said the process re-
quires that he have at least
three applicants for the po-
sition before making an ap-
pointment.
Deputy Chief Gary
Smyth is the only known
candidate for the position at
this time. Smyth tied for first

Chief Jeffrey Starr who de-
clined the chief's job.

The Nobles were selected
for the honor by a panel of
judges from among 44 nom-
inees submitted by Quincy
Sun readers.
Again this year. Sun read-
ers may nominate the person
they feel is most deserving
of the award.
A nomination ballot to
help the selection process
appears on th page in this
week's issue of The Quincy

nominations close, a judg-
ing panel will be selected to

With A Red Sox Tinge
70 Units In 56th Christmas Parade Sunday
By TOM HENSHAW
Once again there will be
a distinct Red Sox tinge to
the 56"" annual Christmas
Festival Parade Sunday.
Manny Del carmen, a
relief pitcher for Our Olde
Towne Team who grew
up in Hyde Park, his wife,
Anna, and their newborn
son, will be part of the event
that opens the Yule season
in Quincy.
And Wally the Green
Monster, the fun-loving
mascot of the team that
plays in Fenway Park, will
be riding in the Festival
Committee Float.
The parade, which is
often called the third larg-
est spectator event in
Massachusetts, will step off
at 12:30 p.m. at the comer
of Elm and Hancock Sts.,
Quincy Center.
An estimated 200,000
each year turn out to watch
the parade along a route that
goes down Hancock Street
to East and West Squantum
Streets at North Quincy
High School.
Only the 26 mile, 385
yard Boston Marathon and
the Boston Pops Fourth
of July Concert on the
Esplanade have been known
to draw larger crowds with
regularity.
Some 70 units will take
part in the parade, including
the ever-popular Shriners
Clowns, the Boston Police
Gaelic Bagpipe Band and
the Hallamore Clydesdales.
It will mark the 35* ap-
pearance by the Clydesdales
in the Quincy parade, each
standing 18 1/2 hands high
and together drawing a
109-year-old wagon, one of
MANNY
DELCARMEN
only three in existence.
Dennis Barry, president of
the Hallamore Clydesdales,
lauded the annual parade as
"very professionally done . .
. a pleasant family weekend
for the entire family."
The rain date will be
Sunday, Dec. 7, also at 12:30
p.m. If the parade is post-
poned, announcements will
be made on WATD Radio in
Marshfield and Boston area
stations starting at 6:30 a.m.
The parade theme,
"The Wonder of Christmas
Memories," will be reflected
in the floats, which will be
judged before the parade be-
tween 9:30 and 1 1 :45 a.m. in
the Municipal Credit Union
parking area at Scammell
Street/Quincy Avenue.
The top prize for the best
float of them all is the Father
Thomas Tiemey Trophy
and $1,500 is cash, Father
Tiemey was the founder
of the Christmas Parade in
1952. Smaller prizes are
given in several categories.
The bands will be rated
by the judges as they pass
through the Cottage Avenue/
Hancock Street area.
The awards for both the
best floats and bands will be
made in the North Quincy
High School auditorium af-

It Still Bothers Me - And Always Will
It still bothers me and I guess it always will.
It's been 48 years now and I can't stop wondering
about President John F. Kennedy and the Secret Service.
Was the Secret Service really doing its job the night of
Nov. 10, 1960 in Hyannisport? And, in Dallas, Nov. 22,
1963?
The 45* anniversary of Kennedy's assassination Sat-
urday brought me back to that night three years before in
Hyannisport-and still wondering if the Secret service was
lax in its duty to protect him.
I was standing in the living room of former Ambassador
Joseph Kennedy's home in the Kennedy compound waiting
for the President-elect to appear.
Where was the Secret Service, I wondered? I wasn't even
supposed to be there but no one questioned that.
Word was that 18 Secret Service agents had moved in
swiftly to protect the next President of the United States af-
ter Richard Nixon conceded after a night of see-saw election
results.
But if they were around the house-inside or outside-they
were invisible. They weren't checking on me or anyone
else. I could have had a gun in my pocket.
I've written this story before. And I think it's worth an-
other look on this 45* anniversary of JFK's assassination.
Let's go back to Nov. 10, 1960.
I was a Boston Traveler reporter covering the election at
press headquarters in the National Guard armory in Hyan-
nis. With me were Dave Farrell of the Boston Herald and
photographer Frank Kelly of Quincy, taking photos for both
papers.
We were at the armory all election night checking the
returns until Nixon finally conceded in the early morning.
We were informed that Kennedy would hold a press
conference later in the morning at the armory, his first as
President-elect.
Out of that conference came such headlines as:
"Hoover, Dulles To Stay," "Kennedy Says Election Re-
pudiates No One". . . "Ike Asks JFK Meet Him Soon On
Takeover."
The whole Kennedy clan seemed to be there: Jacqueline,
3 1 , radiant and expecting John John in a few weeks; parents
Joseph and Rose Kennedy; brothers Bobby with wife, Ethel,
Ted, sisters Eunice Shriver, Jean Smith, Pat Lawford and in
the background brother in-law Peter Lawford.
Kennedy made a brief victory statement that was a hint
of the theme of his coming Inaugural Address:
"The election may have been a close one. But I think
there is general agreement by all of our citizens that the su-
preme national effort will be needed in the years ahead to
move this country safely through the 1960's."
(Inaugural version: "Ask not what your country can do
for you. Ask what you can do for your country.")
Word was passed that Kennedy would host an informal,
off-the record party for the press in his father's home that
night. It was for the press that had traveled with him through
the campaign.
But three party-crashers-Farrell, Kelly and myself-got
there, too. It was too good to miss and we weren't going to
miss it.
The bus to take the press into the Kennedy compound
was parked outside near the armory. We stepped aboard. No
one asked to see our press credentials. We rode inside the
compound and walked into Joseph Kennedy's house. No
one checked on us.
Maybe, as I look back, anyone could have gotten on that
bus that night. Maybe even someone like Lee Harvey Os-
wald.
None of the Kennedy's were in sight when we arrived so
the invited members of the press and the three party crashers
started browsing around.
On the living room wall were framed letters written by
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Ambassador Ken-
nedy.
On the fireplace mantle was a model of the USS Joseph
P. Kennedy, Jr., the destroyer named after the oldest son
who was lost on a dangerous World War II mission. He had
plans for a political career.
The living room connected with the dining room. On the
dining room table was a punch bowl and cups. Someone
said to help ourselves. So we did and wandered back into
the living room.
PRESIDENT-ELECT John F. Kennedy and Quincy Sun
publisher Henry Bosworth chat at Barnstable Airport in
Hyannis, Nov. 11, 1960. Kennedy was leaving for Palm Springs,
FL after his election. Behind them are aides Kenneth O'Donnell
and Pierre Salinger. Frank Kelly photo
I was returning my cup and was the only one in the din-
ing room when a screen door swung open and in stepped
John F. Kennedy.
He walked over to me and we shook hands. "Congratula-
tions Mr. President," I said. It wasn't correct protocol. He
was still a Senator and President-elect. But he seemed to
like being called "Mr. President" and smiled.
We were alone for a few moments. The other reporters
then spotted him and we were soon surrounded.
Kennedy looked tired from the strain of the campaign
and those final agonizing hours when the election seemed
like it could go either way.
One reporter asked him what he thought made the final
difference.
"He (Nixon) stayed around too long in the South," Ken-
nedy replied. (Stayed wasn't the exact word he used.)
Soon, other members of the family joined us: Jacqueline,
Rose, Bobby, Ted, sisters Eunice, Jean and Pat and brother
in-law Sargent Shriver.
Kennedy said he was flying to Palm Springs, FL the next
day to relax and "maybe play a little golf."
"But don't mention golf," he laughed.
He didn't want the country to think it was getting another
golfer like Dwight Eisenhower for President.
I got to chatting with Rose Kennedy who wanted to
know about Quincy bom Presidents John and John Quincy
Adams. I told her as much as I knew and said I would ask
Quincy Historian Bill Edwards to send her more informa-
tion. (And he did.)
Someone produced gift-wrapped bottles of liquor from a
cabinet in the kitchen.
And then a sight you couldn't forget: the next President of
the United States pouring drinks for members of the press.
It was a night to fondly remember - and cherish.
The next day, the Kennedy family flew out of Barnsta-
ble Airport aboard the family plane "Caroline," named for
daughter, Caroline, who looked like a young, Shirley Tem-
ple back then.
I got one more chance to talk with Kennedy before the
plane took off.
"Good luck, Mr. President," I said to him.
"Thank you," he replied, breaking into a grin at being
called "Mr. President" for the second time.
I later told Farrell and Kelly that someday I would write
the story about how we crashed the Kennedy compound and
the party. But not until Kennedy was out of office. Which
I figured would be eight years because he surely would be
re-elected to a second term.
I remember also telling them:
"I'm going to write how we got by the Secret service
that night."
And, kiddingly added:
"And I'm going to write about how I could have shot the
President of the United States over the punch bowl in the
dining room of his father's house."
But who could have imagined then the tragedy that wait-
ed in E>aIIas?
I just can't help wondering about the Secret Service that
night in Hyannisport. And that day in Dallas.
It has bothered me all these years.
And, I guess, it always will.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS IS A 1920's real photo postcard view of the old
Pfaffman Oval, now known as Veterans' Memorial
Field on Hancock Street. The Southern Artery had not
yet been built. The field was named for members of the
Pfaffman family who had extensive nurseries along what
is now Fenno Street and also served as Park Commis-
sioners in the late 19th century. This view is from the
yard of the old Eastern Mass car barn. The chimney of
the old MDC pumping station in Merrymount Park is
in the right distance. The Pfaffman nurseries were just
beyond it. During the 1930's the WPA build the red
brick wall around the field along with concrete specta-
tor stands. In 1938 the upgraded facility was dedicated
as Quincy Memorial Stadium. To many it is still known
as the 'stadium' although in 1951 city officials changed
the name to honor Quincy's Veterans. The game being
played here was probably Quincy High since North
had not yet opened. To contact Tom Galvin, e-mail

Urges Mayor To Veto Zoning Ordinance Amendment
(A copy of following let-
ter was submitted to The
Quincy Sun for publica-
tion.)
Dear Mayor Koch:
On behalf of the 125
Quincy families living at
the Seaport Condominiums
at Marina Bay, 1 am writ-
ing to request that you veto
an amendment to the city's
zoning ordinance which
the City Council passed on
November 10, 2008. This
measure would allow the
construction of an oversized
apartment house here in Ma-
rina Bay.
The zoning change would
result in greater crowding
and denser residential de-
velopment in our neighbor-
hood than is allowed under
existing law, contributing to
a reduction in the quality of
life and the impairment of
housing values not only at
the Seaport, not only in Ma-
rina Bay, but potentially in
other similarly-zoned areas
throughout Quincy.
The City Council's vote
was particularly disappoint-
ing because of its timing.
The City Council had pre-
viously deferred action on
this message because the
Seaport and the Chapman's
Reach condominium have
been engaged in a lawsuit
on this project. The judge
in the case had indicated his
intention to issue a decision
in October, but delayed his
decision until December 10
at the request of the defen-
dants in our lawsuit. The
vote sends an unfortunate
signal to the court and could
effectively render the deci-
sion moot, wasting the 4 1/2
years of time and legal fees
we have committed to this
lawsuit.
The action is doubly pre-
mature, coming as it does
before the completion of the
ongoing citywide review of
zoning and the opportunity
for public discussion of the
appropriate zoning for our
neighborhood.
By taking this action.
which would benefit on
a single developer, is not
needed at this time and
cannot be justified on any
grounds, the vote would ef-
fectively deny us our day in
court, waste our time and
money and cause irreparable
harm to our neighborhood.
1 strongly urge you to veto
this amendment, and would
be pleased to discuss it with
you or your representative.
1 may be reached at (617)
479-2544.
Alexander Elles
Chairman,
Board of Trustees
Seaport Condominiums
At Marina Bay
Zoning Amendment Doesn't Benefit ^Single Developer'
(A copy of following let-
ter was submitted to The
Quincy Sun for publica-
tion.)
Dear Mayor Koch:
This is to briefly respond
to the correspondence, dated
November 14, 2008, that
you received from Alexan-
der Elles, Chairman, Board
of Trustees, Seaport Condo-
miniums at Marina Bay.
I realize that Mr. Elles
does not agree with the re-
cent action taken by the Or-
dinance Committee of the
City Council and the more
recent City Council vote
concerning the Business C
Zoning language discrep-
ancies, but the fact remains
that this change is not for
the benefit of a "single de-
veloper."
Although there has been
an amazing amoimt of de-
bate and litigation concern-
ing this matter, the City
Council vote simply clari-
fies the prior interpretation
of the Business C Zoning
Ordinance language.
Mr. Elles' frustration
with "wasting . . . years of
time and legal fees" on this
matter is clearly not justifi-
cation to not vote the ordi-
nance change into law.

Witch Judge: The Life and
Repentance of Samuel
Sewall, at the Quincy
Historical Society meeting,
Thursday, Dec. 4 at 7:30
p.m. at the Adams Academy,

Of all the judges who

women. Of particular local
interest, Sewall 's wife was
the granddaughter of the
first Edmund Quincy.
LaPlante, a ninth-
generation direct descendant
of Samuel Sewall, will
recount her ancestor's
remarkable story. LaPlante
is also the author of
American Jezebel, about
Anne Hutchinson, from

discussed at the Quincy

Marines To Collect
'Toys For Tots' During Parade
U.S. Marines will
continue the tradition of
collecting "Toys for Tots"
along the Quincy Christmas
Parade route Sunday, Nov.
30 which begins at 12:30
p.m.
The custom of collecting
the distributing toys for
needy children began on a
nation-wide basis 60 years
ago.
On Sunday, local Marine
reservists will walk along
the approximate 3-mile
parade route placing toys in
the vehicles provided.
In Massachusetts last
year, more than 450,000 toys
were distributed to children
in the Greater Quincy area.
Due to the call-up of
Marine reservists, the need
to donate and collect these
gifts for the Toys for Tots
program is greater than it
ever has been.
To donate to the Toys
for Tots program, the public
is invited to bring new,
unwrapped, non- violent
toys to the parade where

Jack Hathaway New
Executive Chef At
Neighborhood Club
Jack Hathaway is the
new executive chef at The.
Neighborhood Club of
Quincy.
He has worked at Finians
and Gazelle, in Quincy, Bar-
retts on Boston Harbor, and
the Blue Hill Country Club
in Canton.
He has mastered his cu-
linary career of the cooking
process; prep, pantry, fry,
and saute. He defines his
liking to cooking as a "kid
;in the kitchen" and defines
his style of cooking as "clas-
sic with a modem spin."
Hathaway admits that the
biggest challenge for almost
any chef is keeping their
menus healthy and heart
smart; gone are the days
of heavy creamy or buttery
sauces.
He acknowledges that
it is very pleasant to have
the opportunity to personal-
ize a menu for a member's
special occasion; and allows
him to feel part of so many

"With the economic con-

The demise of First Night

The events that once en-

hours were cut to three, the
two fireworks displays that
ended the night became one;
the number of performers
dropped from 24 to 12.

What happens to Qui ncy 's
municipal budget for Fiscal
2009, now half spent, if the
promised state aid already
budgeted is reduced seven
months into the year?
Whatever happens. Ward
2 City Councillor Daniel
Raymondi wants newly
named Municipal Finance
Director Warren Sproul to
prepare the city for it post
haste.
Raymondi filed a re-
solve in the Council direct-
ing Sproul to provide the
Council with a schedule of
spending reductions that
could be made if worse
comes to worse.
DAN RAYMONDI
""The Governor has
made no reductions this
year because the Legislature
is not in session," he said.
"But the Legislature comes
back in session in January.
"Quincy needs to be pre-
pared to make significant
reductions in the budget
for the year we're already
in. We may find out seven
months into the fiscal year
that there are cuts."
The purpose of
Raymondi 's resolve is
to have the director of
Municipal Finance provide
in increments of $500,000
a prioritized list of possible
cuts for the Council.
"This is the proper way
to plan for what may be bad
news," he said. "We have
to be proactive if we are to
make intelligent decisions."

FIRE SAFETY
by Captain Tom Lyons
Fire Prevmtion Bureau
Quuuy Fire department
Ciara Durkin Toy Drive
Dec. 6 At Medical Center
Happy Holidays 2008!
This is a column writ-
ten last year at this time.
Our concerns for the holi-
days haven't changed from
a year ago and this column
pretty much highlights those
concerns. Decorative lights,
candles, parties with drink-
ing and smoking, and the
start of heating season, all
increase the probability of
fire. Therefore, kindly ad-
here to the following safety
recommendations .
Make certain that all
lighting has been approved
by a testing agency such as
Underwriters Laboratory
(UL). Do not overload elec-
trical outlets or power strips.
Discard any extension cord
or decorative lighting sets
with frayed cords or broken
plugs. Do not leave exten-
sion cords beneath rugs
where they can fray result-
ing in a short circuit.
Unattended burning
candles account for 60%
of all candle fires. Statisti-
cally, December has almost
twice the number of home
candle fires compared to an
average month. Stay in the
room with burning candles.
Be sure to snuff out candles
before falling asleep, go-
ing out, or leaving a room.
Bum candles inside a one-
foot circle of safety giving
them ample free space from
combustibles that can come
in contact with flame. Use
candles out of the reach of
children and pets. Bum can-
dles on a noncombustible
surface such as a ceramic
saucer or plate.
If there must be smoking
within the home, provide
smokers with large, deep
ashtrays. At the end of the
party I suggest that you col-
lect those ashtrays and place
them within the sink, not im-
mediately discarding them
in the trash. Meanwhile 33%
of residential fire deaths are
caused by carelessly dis-
posed of smoking materials
igniting upholstered furni-
ture, mattresses or bedding
while alcohol use is typi-
cally a contributing factor.
Be mindful of discarding
smoking material safely.
Cooking equipment is
the leading cause of home
fires. Unattended cooking
is the principal behavioral
factor behind these fires. It
is too easy during season to
begin cooking and become
distracted with other holiday
matters. If you must leave
the kitchen, bring a pothold-
er with you as a reminder of
your efforts.
If you are using a live
Christmas tree this year,
install it away from fire-
places, heat sources and ex-
its. You're all aware of the
potential fire hazard with
a dry tree while distance
from heat sources will help
retard the drying process.
Make certain though that
the stand contains water and
is checked daily. An ignited
tree can become an imme-
diate inferno so access to
unobstructed exits is imper-
afive. It is especially imper-
ative to adhere to the recom-
mendations above regarding
electrical wiring and deco-
rative lighting on live trees.
Make certain the potential
for sparking or short circuits
is eliminated.
Household fires seem all
the more tragic during the
holiday season. So please

A Job Well Done
LT. DAN MINTON
On Monday, Nov. 17, 2008, at approximately 5 p.m..
Officers Declan Breslin, Matt Miller and Tom Ford
were on bicycle patrol in the
Quincy Center Business Dis-
trict. While traveling south-
bound on Hancock Street,
they observed two males,
one an adult, the other a ju-
venile, familiar to them from
past criminal incidents stand-
ing in front of a computer
store on Hancock Street.
The officers stopped to
engage in a conversation and
told the juvenile that they re-
cently had conversation with his juvenile probation offi-
cer, who informed the officers that the juvenile had an 8
p.m. curfew and it was something that the officers would
be monitoring.
The officers asked what they were up to and the adult
male said he was picking up his computer that was be-
ing repaired. Officer Breslin asked him what was wrong
with the computer and he said he wasn't sure. While Of-
ficer Miller and Ford continued their conversation. Of-
ficer Breslin walked into the store and confirmed that the
male was having a computer fixed. The male dropped
the computer off in the morning, wanting the password
removed. The employee said that the male called sever-
al times during the day but the work was not completed.
Officer Breslin then returned to the adult male who
brought the computer in and read him his Miranda rights,
and after he (now a suspect) consented to speak, he was
asked where he got the computer. The suspect initially
said that he did not want to tell because he did not want
to get anybody in trouble. When asked again, the suspect
said that about a week ago he took the computer off the
wall at the Galleria, located at 1250 Hancock Street.
Officer Breslin contacted Communications Dis-
patcher Mike Bowes and asked him to research past
calls of computer thefts and incidents at the Galleria. A
short time later. Dispatcher Bowes confirmed there was
a larceny of a computer on Nov. 7"" and the report identi-
fied the victim. The suspect was placed into custody and
transported to the Quincy Police Station.
At the station. Officer Breslin spoke with the victim,
who stated she is a student at the Woodwood School
for Girls, and on that day they were standing outside the
Galleria. She placed her computer down on the wall and
went over to the Quincy Center T Station. When she re-
alized that she left it behind, she immediately returned to
the area but the computer was gone. She confirmed the
description of the computer as a black Acer with a black
carrying case, valued at $598.
The suspect, a 20-year-old Boston resident,
was charged with Larceny over $250.00 (felony). Pho-
tos were taken of the computer for court purposes and
then returned to the student/victim.
Nice Work!

RECENT SCAM: Beware of an old scam surfacing,
where a caller states one of your family members has
been in a car accident, usually out of country and needs
you to forward a large amount of money via a money
order to cover insurance bills. Asking simple questions
can usually uncover that this is a scam. Remember,
criminals continue to use this scam because it works
enough for them to make a considerable profit!

Benefit Raises $11,000 For Quincy Animal Shelter
Donated Red Sox memo-
rabilia helped boost fund-
raising recently for Quincy's
Animal Shelter.
A raffle for a baseball bat
autographed by Dustin Pe-
droia and an official Red Sox
shirt worn by Jonathan Pa-
pelbon helped raise $11 ,000
for the shelter at this fall's
wine-tasting bene-fit, ac-
cording to Lynda Souther-
land who chaired the event.
The Third Annual Wine-
Tasting benefit for the shel-
ter brought some 200 friends
out in driving rain recently
to Masonic Hall, Hancock
Street.
Southerland said the raf-
fle for the Red Sox articles
raised $4000 of the $ 11 ,000
total . She noted that the raf-
fle was held before Pedroia
was named 2008 Most Valu-
able Player of the American
League
The funds will be used
to defray expenses at the
all-volunteer facility which
focuses on dogs and cats in
the Quincy area. The no-kill
shelter can accommodate
about 12 dogs and 20 cats.
Shelter volunteers work
in conjunction with the
city's Animal Control Offi-
cer Don Conboy, but the
group receives no public
funding.
Sandra Morris is Director
of the shelter.
"All funds are raised pri-
vately," said Lynda Souther-
land who chaired the event
"The whole shelter is 100
percent volunteer."
Some volunteers work at
the shelter while other vol-
unteers act as foster families
for kittens awaiting adop-
tion. Area veterinarians do-
nate their time for prelimi-
nary examinations of shelter
animals.
At this time, the volun-

Checklist For Winterizing Your Home From The Better Business Bureau
With a tough economy
looming like the Grinch
over this year's holiday sea-
son, many people are look-
ing for ways to ensure their
homes are ready for the cold
winter months in an effort to
save money through energy
efficiency. Your Better Busi-
ness Bureau is offering a
checklist for homeowners to
safely prepare their homes
for winter and perhaps save
a few dollars in the process.
According to the Energy
Information Administration,
home heating costs this win-
ter are expected to rise by
23 percent for homeowners
who rely on heating oil, 18
percent for homes relying
on natural gas and 10-11
percent for homes heated
by propane or electricity.
Luckily, homeowners can
fend off some of the rising
energy costs by winterizing
their home before the harsh-
est weather takes hold.
"As if people needed
some more bad news about
high prices, high heating
costs are the next hurdle for
cash-strapped consumers,
and yet another reason for
homeowners to take steps to
winterize their homes before
the cold sets in," said Paula
Fleming, vice president of
communications and mar-
keting for BBB. "Winteriz-
ing a home makes good eco-
nomic sense because a small
up-front investment can pay
dividends for months by in-
creasing the energy efficien-

overall heating costs."
Following is a BBB
home winterizing checklist
for consumers to consult
when preparing for the cold
months ahead:
• Furnace. Furnaces
older than 15 years might
be due for a replacement.
For younger furnaces, BBB
reconmiends making sure
the fiiraace filter is clean,
the thermostat is working
properly and the pilot light
is functioning. Homeown-
ers can also hire an inspector
to do the job and make sure
the furnace is in safe work-
ing order.
• Heating ducts. Ehicts
should be cleaned once ev-
ery two years. Homeowners
should also consider adding
insulation to any exposed
ductwork. According to the
U.S. Department of Energy,
a home with central heating
can lose up to 60 percent of
its heated air before that air
reaches the vents if duct-
work is not well-connected
and insulated, or if it travels
through unheated spaces.
• Cliimney. Before light-
ing up, homeowners plan-
ning on using their fireplace
come winter should have the
chinmey inspected for ani-
mals, debris and leaves that
may have fallen in. BBB
also recommends installing
a screen over the chimney
opening.
• Gutters and ridge
vents. Gutters should be
honest business behavior.
Businesses that earn BBB

10 Tips For Healthy Living
Protect The Skin You're In
(ARA) - With busy
schedules and lifestyles,
keeping your mind, body
and soul healthy can be a
major challenge. However,
don't let the hectic pace of
life keep you from living
yours to the fullest. There
are simple steps you can take
that will leave you feeling
energetic and upbeat. Con-
sider these 10 tips to help
you live a happy, healthy,
safe and balanced life.
Get Physical
Exercise not only helps
you build muscle and lose
weight, giving you more
self-confidence, but it's vi-
tal in maintaining a healthy
heart. And don't think you
need to spend hours at the
gym to achieve a new physi-
cal you. From strength train-
ing and cardio workouts, to
walking the dog or taking
the stairs — anything that
gets your heart pumping
will benefit yoiu- health.
Stress is a Mess
Over time, stress can lead
to serious health issues such
as obesity, depression and
even death. When you start
seeing red, instead think
blue ,A5 as in blueberries.
Antioxidants found in the
tasty fruit fight stress hor-
mones. Also, don't forget
to breathe. Inhaling a deep
breath for five seconds, then
exhaling for another five
seconds, can help clear your
mind and enhance blood cir-
culation.
Get a Grip on Safety
Think bath safety prod-
ucts are just for older gen-
erations? Think again. With
wet, hard surfaces, the bath-
room is your home's biggest
danger zone. So, get a grip
on safety by adding a few
stylish and safe products
to your ensemble, such as
grab bars, tub grips, bath-
tub tread strips, shower
chairs or transfer benches.
HomeCare by Moen offers
a wide assortment of styl-
ish, stable and durable bath
safety products at Lowe's.
Visit homecare.moen.com
for more information.
LOL Laugh Out Loud
Build your immune
system through laughter.
Health-increasing hor-
mones, such as endorphins,
are released through your
body when you laugh. Ad-
ditionally, laughter works
your abdominal muscles and
boosts your state of mind.
Web sites such as www.Fun-
LOL.com can be a quick fix
for a downer day.
Eat Healthy
We know we should eat
healthy, and with new on-
line tools it's a no-brainer.
The new MyPyramid pro-
gram, www.My Pyramid,
gov, developed by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture,
allows you to choose the
ideal proportions of foods
and food groups to eat ac-
cording to your body size
and structure.
Get Plenty of Zzzzzz's
Between work, fam-
ily and extra activities, it's
sometimes difficult to get the
necessary six to eight hours
of sleep per night. Be sure
to avoid caffeine or exercise
right before bed. Instead try
reading a book or meditat-
ing. And,, if you still need
extra help to unwind, Bath
and Body Works offers the
Aromatherapy Sleep Col-
lections, featuring chamo-
mile bath salts and a warm
milk and honey pillow spray
to aid in a good night's rest.
What's Up, Doc?
Going to the doctor only
when you're sick isn't going
to cut it. For both your phys-
ical and mental well-being,
it's wise to have a routine
annual physical examina-
tion. Especially if your fam-
ily has a history of health
problems, such as heart dis-
ease, diabetes or high blood
pressure, getting regular
check-ups can help prevent
or detect serious health is-
sues.
Yoga-ta Do It
Yoga, an ancient practice
of stretching and breath-
ing techniques, has become
a popular exercise for both
men and women. In addition
to releasing positive energy,
yoga prevents injuries, pro-
motes flexibility and can add
relief to a stressful day. In
fact, according to the book,
"Real Men Do Yoga," PGA
golfer David Duval prac-
tices yoga every day. So, if
it's good enough for profes-
sionals, it may be an excel-
lent addition to your weekly
stress-relief routine.
S.O^. - Save Our Skin
As the largest organ of
the human body, your skin's
health is vital. Luckily car-
ing for your protective layer
can be easy and enjoyable.
Try a trip to the spa, or even
create a spa at home. There's
no better way to start your
day than with an invigorat-
ing, spa-like shower. Try a
multi-function showerhead,
such as Moen's Inspire
showerhead at Lowe's, that
will envelope you in a vari-
ety of massaging or refresh-
ing sprays. Finish off your
pampering shower with your
favorite body cream to lock
moisture in your skin.
Your Right for Recre-
ation
You schedule meetings
and appointments each
week, so why not schedule
time for recreation? Be
sure to set aside time each
week for activities you en-
joy. Whether it's dinner with
family and friends, or tak-
ing the phone off the hook
and curling up with a good
book, be sure to block out
time on your calendar with
activities that you enjoy and
will rejuvenate you.
It doesn't take a radical
change in your behavior to
start living a healthier life-
style. By following these
simple tips, you'll be on
the road to a happy, healthy,
safe and balanced life.
(NAPSA)-While most
people recognize the impor-
tance of applying sunscreen
at the beach or the pool,
many don't realize the value
in wearing sun protection
every day of the year.
Experts say about 80
percent of a person's sun
exposure occurs during
daily activities-walking to
the car, sitting in front of a
window-and that one year
of incidental sun exposure is
like spending a week at the
beach without sunscreen.
To keep skin healthy and
protected throughout the
day, incorporate a moistur-
izer that contains SPF into
your daily skin care routine,
as hydration and sun protec-
tion are key elements for
maintaining healthy skin.
Skin that is dry may be
unable to perform its pri-
mary function, which is to
protect your body from en-
vironmental damage, such
as free radicals, pollutants
and the sun's UV rays.
Additionally, skin that is
dry has a difficult time re-
newing itself from sun dam-
age, leaving it vulnerable to
premature aging, including
wrinkles and age spots.
Look for a nongreasy
moisturizer with sunscreen,
such as Aveeno Daily Mois-

Walking for
Exercise Has
Fringe Benefit
Now that cold weather is
here again, my mall walking
group has had 10 move
indoors. TTuec mornings a
week we meet at the local
shopping center where man-
agement opens the doors
early for us. The level flocws
and good lighting make it a
safe environment, and if we
follow a certain route, we
end up walking a mile. Hav-
ing a warm location (as well
as benches to sit on if we
need to rest) has even
allowed one of our members
who's on oxygen to join us
for part of the time.
Walking for exercise
comes with ail kinds of ben-
efits, most of which have
been proven by studies.
When we walk, we lower
our risk for cancer, boost our
brain power, increase bone
.strength, reduce the risk of
dementia, promote better
sleep and generally live
longer, healthier lives.
I've found that the best
thing about walking, howev-
er, is how I feel afterward.
There's something about
getting those "feel-good"
endorphins going that seems
to put a feeling of well-being
on the whole day. (Which is
why 1 prefer to walk in the
mornings.) Endorphins act
like nature's painkillers.
Just when I thought I knew
all there was to know about
walking, along comes some-
thing new: Chi Walking. Chi
(pronounced "chee") Walk-
ing incorporates proper pos-
ture, especially of the spine,
shoulders, hips and knees.
Relaxed movements appear
to be the key to getting more
benefits from walking. If
you want to know more
about it, look at www.chi-
walking.com or call 1-866-
327-7867 for infonnation.
There are even workshops
across the country and a link
to instructors in your area.
If you aren't already walk-
ing for exerci.se, ask your
doctor for suggestions
before you begin.

Shingles Tied
to Chickenpox
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
Please explain the proper
care of a person who con-
tracts shingles. Is it conta-
gious? My doctor didn't
want me in his office. Oth-
er doctors say it*s not con-
tagious.
I received the drug
Famvir at the start. Now I
take Lyrica and Percocet. I
am miserable. How long is
recovery? I have a mild
case. I pity anyone with a
difficult case.— £".«.
ANSWER; When the shin-
gles ra.sh is brand-new and
consists of many small, fluid-
filled blisters, virus is present
in those blisters. It is theoreti-
cally possible for an adult or a
child who has never come in
contact with chickenpox to
catch chickenpox, not shin-
gles, from the blister fluid.
The px)ssibility is slight, but it
does exist. Most adults —
more than 90 percent — have

SIDE NOTES
An estimated 30-40 million
Americans grind their teeth
when they sleep. Not only does
bruxism (tooth-grinding) raise
a ruckus, it causes premature
tooth wear. In addition to the bit-
ing surfaces of grinding molars
wearing down, as one might
expect, bruMsm can also cause
tooth loss on the sides of teeth.
TTiis bruxism-related loss of tooth
material at gum level is caused
by "abfraction," which involves
flexing of tooth stmcture. As the
affected teeth grind, the force
creates tension on one side of
the tooth and compression on
tfie other. As a result, notches
develop as enamel is lost Ad-
dressing this problem involves
using a night mouthguard to
prevent tooth-grinding followed
by restoralkxi of the lost toofri
material that bruxism caused.
It ^ weN known that stress
and anxiety play tfie major rote
in causing bruxism. By carefully
nrionitoring and controlling the
stress yo can often dramatically
reduce bruxism. Oral health is
a long-term commitment we
share with each patient and
we encourage you to make us
aware of any special needs you
may have. We provide excellent
dinicaJ skills and state of the
art equipment. Ptease call 617-

76th City Football Championship
North Quincy Red Raiders K.Qiiincy Presideits
North Quincy Seeking First
Thanksgiving Win In 10 Years
Red Raiders Ready
For Redemption
By SEAN BRENNAN
The North Quincy Red
Raiders are ready to pull
out all the stops tomor-
row. Nine straight losses on
Thanksgiving will do that to
a team.
Entering the 76* annual
showdown between the Red
Raiders and the Quincy Pres-
idents, this so-called rivalry
game has become anything
but. The Raiders, following
last year's 28-7 loss, have
not enjoyed a Turkey Day
victory since a 21-6 win all
the way back in 1998. But
since the 2006 season these
Red Raiders have slowly
transformed into a different
team, a team that expects to
win these types of games.
The days of being the city
second-best team are a thing
of the past.
North Quincy finished
their regular season with a
6-4 record. The team came
within one win of capturing
a Fisher Division title, in
just their first season play-
ing in the ultra-competitive
Patriot League, and with a
balanced attack on offense,
defense and special teams
these Raiders are ready to
walk off the turf at Veterans
Stadium as winners.
"A win tomorrow would
accomplish three things,"
said NQ head coach Jim
Connor. "First and most im-
portantly, a win would give
us seven victories, which
is something a NQ team
has not accomplished in a
long time. Secondly, a win
would end the streak of nine
straight wins for Quincy and
thirdly, a win would make
this game more interesting.
The last few years' things
have been lopsided and not
too much of a rivalry. It is
always a big game and we
will be ready."

The significance of the
"Game" is not lost on Con-
nor or his team. They un-
derstand the history behind
it and they are ready to feed
off the atmosphere. But they
will not be intimidated by
any streak.
"The history behind this
game is special," said Con-
nor. "It is an exciting day
with the large crowds. There
are always former players
that come back and some of
the players who are playing
this year have had broth-
ers and parents play in it.
The last few years we have
left feeling frustrated and
sad emotionally, but if we
stick to what has made us so
successful this season, we
should be ready.
"It is bigger than your
average game, but we need
to head into it with the same
attitude we have played with
all season. Saying that, nine
straight losses could have
an effect on the team. The
weight of the streak could
play a role, but I don't see
that happening with this
team."
These Raiders have cer-
tain things working in their
favor that could finally put
an end to the losing streak.
They have an excellent of-
fense, a stingy and physical
defense and good special
teams play.
On offense. North pos-
sesses an All-League quar-
terback in junior first-year
starter Mike Stanton, a stable
of running backs led by se-
niors Pat Watkins (six rush-
ing TDs, one receiving TD),
Joe Vialpando (four rushing
TDs, one receiving TD) and
Brian Donaghey (two rush-
ing TDs) andjuniorTerrence
Staley (five rushing TDs)
and North has an offensive
line that has played shoul-
der pad to shoulder pad for
the last two years. Seniors
RJ Barden, Chris Bergeron,
Joe Benoit and juniors Mike
Benoit and AJ Morfe anchor
the 0-Line.
Seniors Tim Stille and
Matt Jay and junior Paul
Reamer (two receiving
TDs) are also serious threats
on oifense. North averaged
18.1 points per game.
"At the quarterback po-
sition Mike Stanton is the
proto-typical signal caller,"
said Cormor. "He is a tall
pocket passer who can move
around and find his open re-
ceiver. He completes the
passes he should complete.
He hits open receivers and
that is so valuable at the
high school level.
"But we also have great
senior leadership on offense.
With our running backs all
playing so well running be-
hind the offensive line it has
been exciting. This group of
seniors stepped in two years
ago and changed the culture

76th City Football Championship
North Quincy Red Raiders vs. Quincy Presidents
Quincy Eyes 10th Straight Holiday Win
Presidents Prepared
To Put Streak On Line
By SEAN BRENNAN
The Quincy Presidents
just may be the most dan-
gerous 4-6 team to ever
play for a city champion-
ship. Under the direction of
first-year head coach Bill
Reardon Quincy comes into
tomorrow's Thanksgiving
Day football game look-
ing to complete a decade of
dominance.
For the last nine seasons,
the Presidents have left Vet-
erans Memorial Stadium
as the victors. Last year, in
coach Bob Noble's last sea-
son manning the sidelines,
Quincy entered the "Game"
with a 2-7 record only to
blow the doors off North
Quincy, 28-7. Coach Rear-
don and his team know the
importance of this game and
they know what it takes to
win and they have no inten-
tions of walking away with
a loss.
"I knew what to expect
in terms of preparation for
the week ahead," Reardon
said. "I knew from working
with Bob for all those years
what to expect. He was very
organized, he had an itiner-
ary that we have been us-
ing since 1999, we changed
some parts, but it has been
very helpful in getting pre-
pared for North Quincy."
Reardon, who attended
Quincy High School from
1987-1991 and played for
the Presidents on Thanks-
giving during the 1989 and
1990 seasons and went 1-1
in those games, understands
as well as anyone the signif-
icance of this game, and he
doesn't take it lightly.
"It is absolutely a dif-
ferent type of game. You
are talking about playing
against kids you have grown
up with your whole life. You
are not playing some strang-
er from Duxbury, you may
be playing some kid you
shared Oreo cookies with in
fifth grade.
"It is that type of game.
The records go out the win-
dow because there isn't that
un'cnown factor. It makes it
easier for motivational pur-
poses because you have an
idea of what to expect play-
ing against friends and peo-
ple you know from living in
the city.
"This is a game these
kids will be talking about
years from now. Every play-
er gives a little more when
they play on Thanksgiving.
It is a separate season all to-

Quincy's 4-6 record is
deceiving. The Presidents
opened the season with two
straight one-point losses in
games that were there for
the taking. In the season-
opener Quincy lost 28-27 to
Cohasset in overtime and in
Week Two lost 8-7 to Can-
ton on a fumbled punt in the
end zone. On Halloween,
Quincy fell to Scituate 14-
13.
"We have tried to build
on these losses," said Rear-
don. "The Scituate game
was tough, we thought we
may be able to pull it out in
the end, but the kids, to their
credit, have been building
on these losses. We just have
to try and not make stupid
mistakes."
Quincy ended the regular
season with a convincing
26-6 trouncing of Randolph
High School, a win that
stopped a three-game losing
streak and kicked the Presi-
dents' offense and defense
back into high gear.
On offense, Quincy has
a number of weapons at its
disposal. Unlike in previous
seasons under Noble, Rear-
don has gone away from the
shotgun/spread offense in
favor of a more traditional
offense centered around ball
control and clock manage-
ment, but that doesn't mean
Quincy doesn't have any
homerun threats.
Junior quarterback Lance
Peterson completed 49.6%
of his pass attempts, threw
for 958 yards and had 10
TDs and eight INTs. He also
is 1-0 on Thanksgiving. Pe-
terson's favorite target was
senior wide receiver An-
thony Raddatz. Raddatz, an
Honorable Mention All-Star
selection, caught 27 passes
for 526 yards. His ten touch-
downs (nine receiving) led
the team.
"Lance has played in one
of these already so I don't
expect him to be rattled,"
said Reardon. "I am count-
ing on Raddatz to have a big
game. He just catches the
ball. Anthony believes that

76th City Football Championship
North Quincy Red Raiders vs. Quincy Presidents
6 Raiders,
3 Presidents Patriot
League All-Stars
The North Quincy Red
Raiders and the Quincy
Presidents, both playing in
their first season in the Patri-
ot League, after playing for
many years in the Atlantic
Coast League, had a com-
bined nine players named to
the All-League and Honor-
able Mention all-star teams.
A panel of the league's
12 coaches meet last week
and made the all-star selec-
tions.
The Raiders (6-4 over-
all, 3rd place in the Fisher
Division) had three athletes
named to the Patriot League
All -League team. Junior
quarterback Mike Stanton,
a first-year starter behind
center, senior captain RJ
Barden, a defensive lineman
and team leader on defense,
and junior Paul Reamer, de-
fensive back, were selected
to the All-League team.
The Presidents (4-6 over-
all, 5"* place in the Keenan
Division) had one player
named to the All-League
team. The league's coaches
selected senior Tim Lewis,
a stalwart on the defensive
line and a solid running back
on offense. Lewis finished
the year with two rushing
touchdowns; eight quarter-
back sacks, an interception
and 55 tackles.
North Quincy's Joe Vial-
pando (RB, five TDs), Joe
Benoit (OL/DL) and Matt
Jay (DB) and C^incy's An-
thony Raddatz (WR, 27 re-
ceptions, 526 yards , 9 touch-
downs) and Sean Gray (LB,
82 tackles, INT, two forced
fumbles, two fumbles re-
covered) were named to the
Honorable Mention team.
1947 Game Drew Largest Crowd
As the 76"' annual foot-
ball game between North
Quincy and Quincy ap-
proaches tomorrow, the
debate about which of the
previous seventy-five af-
fairs drew the biggest crowd
comes down to either the
game in 1946 or 1947.
It appears the 1947 game
had the largest paid atten-
dance, reported to have been
18,003. In 1946, the paid at-
tendance was 16,065.
Many estimate that close
to 25,000 saw the 1947
game, if you count those
who watched from the walls
and trees, and those who
lined the bus yard where the
MBTA garage now stands.
The biggest previous
crowd prior to 1946 was
the 15,000 who watched the
1939 game.

Raiders 3-3, Presidents 4-2
NQ, Quincy Played Six Common Opponents
The North Quincy Red
Raiders and the Quincy
Presidents played six com-
mon opponents this season
as both high schools began
their first year playing in the
Patriot League.
The Raiders played in the
Fisher Division of the PL
and the Presidents played
in the Keenan Division of
the PL. North Quincy com-
peted in the Fisher Division
against teams from Hanover,
Middleboro, Rockland,
Pembroke and Randolph
while Quincy competed in
the Keenan Division against
teams from Duxbury, Silver
Lake, Scituate, Hingham
and Whitman-Hanson.
The six common oppo-
nents played both by North
Quincy and Quincy in-
cluded Patriot League foes
Scituate, Whitman-Hanson,
Rockland, Randolph and
Silver Lake and non-league
opponent Plymouth South,
a former annual opponent
from the Atlantic Coast
League.
The Red Raiders posted
a 3-3 record in these games
with wins over Plymouth
South (12-7, Sept. 26),
Whitman-Hanson (21-0,
Oct. 3) and Randolph (34-6,
Oct. 30) and losses to Scitu-
ate (24-0, Sept. 12), Rock-
land (23-14, Oct. 17) and
Silver Lake (23-6, Nov. 14).
Overall, North Quincy en-
ters the Thanksgiving Day
game with a 6-4 overall re-
cord.
The Presidents posted a
4-2 record in these games
with wins over Plymouth
South (13-0, Sept. 19),
Rockland (7-6, Oct. 3),
Whitman-Hanson (3-0, Oct.
17) and Randolph (26-6,
Nov. 14) and losses to Sil-
ver Lake (21-10, Oct. 25)
and Scituate (14-13, Oct.
31). Overall, Quincy enters
the Thanksgiving Day game
with a 4-6 overall record.
North Quincy earned its
first victory of the fall on
Sept. 20 with a 28-0 past-
ing of non-league opponent
Sharon HS, avenging its
season-opening loss to Sci-
tuate on Sept. 12. The Raid-
ers followed the Sharon win
with consecutive victories
over Plymouth South, Whit-
man-Hanson and Pembroke
(32-0, Oct. 11). After losing
a heart breaker to Rockland
on Oct. 17, North rattled off
wins over Hanover (21-14,
Oct. 24) and Randolph (Oct.
30). For the month of Octo-
ber, the Red Raiders finished
an impressive 4-1.
But November was not as
kind. A 16-13 loss to Middle-
boro on Nov. 7 eliminated
North Quincy from winning
the Fisher Division outright
(Hanover was the division
champion and lost to Dux-
bury in the league champi-
onship game Nov. 15) and
the 23-6 loss on Nov. 14
to Silver Lake dropped the
team's record to the current
6-4 mark it holds.
Quincy dropped its sea-
son-opener 28-27 to Cohas-
set in a non-league game on
Sept. 5. The Presidents lost
its second game of the year
on Sept. 12 following an 8-7
defeat to Canton in a non-
league game. Quincy finally
earned its first victory on
Sept. 19 with a 13-0 non-
league win over Plymouth
South and followed that
win with a 7-6 victory over
Rockland on Oct. 3.
The Presidents lost to
league champion Duxbury,
18-0, on Oct. 11; beat Whit-
man-Hanson, 3-0, on Oct.
17; lost to Silver Lake, 21-
10, on Oct. 25 and lost to
Scituate, 14-13, on Oct. 31.
Quincy dropped a 25-
14 decision to Hingham on
Nov. 7 before knocking off
Randolph, 26-6, on Nov. 14.
That win gave Quincy, for
the moment, a one-game im-
provement over last year's
3-7 finish as the team will
play on Thanksgiving with a
4-6 overall record.

matter you'd rather not be
involved in. If so, use that
sage Sagittarian tact to
decline the "offer," so that no
one's feelings are needlessly
hurt.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) A shift in
planning direction might
help you speed up your
progress toward achieving
that long-planned goal.
Trusted colleagues are ready
to offer some valuable sup-
port.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) An unex-
pected demand for settle-
ment of an old loan could
create some pre-holiday
anxiety. But you might not
really owe it. Check your
records thoroughly before
remitting payment.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) It's a good time to
get into the social swim and
enjoy some well-earned fun
and games with those closest
to you before you have to
resume more serious activi-
ties next week.
BORN THIS WEEK:
Your ability to sense the
needs of others makes you a
wise counselor for those
seeking help with their prob-
lems.

Quincy Community
United Methodist Church,
40 Beale St., Wollaston. will
hold its annual Hanging of
the Greens at the 10:30 a.m.
morning worship service
Sunday, Dec. 7.
"Evergreens have a very
long symbolic history,"
said the Rev. Dr. Susan
Jarek-Glidden, church pas-
tor. "Since ancient times
they have represented life
and rebirth. This was espe-
cially true in those areas of
the world where the winter
months were long, dark and
cold.
"The church adapted this
ancient symbol and gave it
new meaning, teaching that
evergreens represent eternal
life. At some point in time,"
Dr.Jarek-Gliddencontinued,
"someone literally brought
evergreens into a church
building, but precisely how
and when that happened we
just don't know; such de-
velopments are much more
complex than they might
seem.
"Over time, decorating
churches became a tradition,
and evolved into the Hang-
ing of the Greens."
Many different versions
of the Hanging of the Greens
service exist.
The one used at Quincy
Community United Meth-
odist Church combines
readings from Scripture and
songs, and was written by
Dr. Jarek-Glidden.
The focus of the service
is participation.
Before the service be-
gins, everyone is invited to
help decorate the sanctuary
with greenery. Then, at a
certain point in the ceremo-
ny, the volunteers are asked
to carry out their part of the
decorating.
"The decorating is in in-
formal and lots of fun," said
Dr. Jarek-Glidden, "and that
makes the Hanging of the
Greens a great service for
families and kids.
Everyone is invited to
begin the holiday season by
participating in the Hanging
of the Greens.
The church is located
diagonally across the street
from the Wollaston T sta-
tion.

We all have many things to be grateful
for at Thanksgiving time . . . especially
in this time of world turmoil and unrest.
Freedom,our most precious gift, we take
for granted most of the time. . . We can
say what we want, go where we please
SCOTT DEWARE g^d worship as we please. More than
half the world cannot exercise these privileges.
Yes, Thanksgiving is truly an American holiday and we
should not only give thanks for our bountiful blessings, but be
willing to share what we have with those less fortunate than
ourselves. . . not only in material blessings, but in giving of
ourselves.
Our earliest settlers in 1620 knew this and after that first
terrible winter when many died, they planted their food and
had a successful harvest. They gave thanks to God for their
bounty and shared it with the Indians.
Today, this tradition most continue more than ever.
Let OS not only give thanks for our own good fortune, but
share with others our Mesnngs. This is the true meaning of
Thanksgiving...

Presidents Prepared
To Put Streak On Line
Cont'd From Page 20
and stopped the bleeding.
Instead of being disappoint-
ed with a loss they are dis-
appointed if we don't play
well in a win."
On the defensive side of
the ball, it is Barden, another
All-League selection, who
is the team leader. Playing
linebacker, Barden anchors
a defense that allowed just
9.9 points per game. Barden
is supported in the defensive
backfield by Reamer (All-
League, eight INTs) and Jay
(four INTs). But it is the de-
fense as a unit that has done
the job all season long.
"RJ has had a long career
at North Quincy," said Con-
nor. "He has really matured
and is a rock on defense for
us. But the whole defense
has stepped up this year.
They play fast and physi-
cal. Our defense has won us
games all year long."
At one point this season,
the defense went four games
(16 quarters) allowing only
one touchdown. North
Quincy went 4-0 during that
stretch.
The Raiders will have a
tough opponent in Quincy.
Don't be deceived by their
4-6 record. The Presidents
could very easily be 7-3 as
they were on the short-end
of three one -point losses.
'The coaching staff has
been keeping an eye on
Quincy all year long," add-
ed Connor. "The play in a
tough division (Keenan).
This may be the best Quincy
team I have seen in my five
years coaching at North.
"They are well-rounded
on offense, they are well-
coached and they have the
best defense in the league
(12.4 points per game al-
lowed). Plus they hold that
Thanksgiving Day edge
over us. It will be a tough
game to win."
On defense the Raid-
ers will have to deal with a
productive QB-WR com-
bination. Junior QB Lance
Peterson (1-0 against NQ)
has put up quality numbers
(62-for-125, 10 TDs, 958
passing yards) this season.
His favorite target has been
senior WR Anthony Radd-
atz (27 catches, 526 yards,
10 TDs). Seniors Mark Gil-
body (TD), Tim Lewis (two
TDs), Zach Manning (TD),
Stefon Davis and Max De-
voe are joined by juniors
Ed Jolicouer (two TDs) and
Kenny Nguyen as potential
threats.
"We are going to have
to keep that offense con-
tained," said Connor. "They
have some dangerous play-
ers that can break open a
game. We know Peterson
can win on Thanksgiving
and Raddatz is one of the
best wide receivers in the
league. It is all going to be
about controlling the line of
scrimmage against them."
On offense the Raiders
need to keep an eye on All -
League defender Tim Lewis
(55 tackles, eight QB sacks).
Lewis should receive help
from fellow seniors Sean
Gray (82 tackles, INT), EJ
Louis (three QB sacks) and
2^ch Manning (sack) and
juniors Ngozi Aguguo (three
INTs) Kenny Nguyen (two
INTs) and James Nguyen
(four forced fumbles).
"Their defense is phe-
nomenal," said Connor.
"Very fast and physical.
They can be a handful. We
will need to try and wear
them down. Quincy is a bet-
ter team than their record
indicates."
The Raiders' 6-4 record is
a result of two straight losses
to end the season. One, the
16-13 loss to Middleboro
on Nov. 7 eliminated them
from winning the Fisher Di-
vision, and the other was a
23-6 loss to Silver Lake on
Nov. 14. Although they have
dropped two in a row, Con-
nor is not worried about his
team losing focus against
Quincy.
"One thing this group has
going for them is that they
will do whatever it takes to
win. We take what is given
to us and work off that. The
loss to Middleboro hurt but
we played hard and against
Silver Lake it was close un-
til the fourth quarter. I am
not worried about us coming
out flat against Quincy.
"These kids are all on
the same page. They have
all bought into the coaching
staff's philosophy and the
results have been positive."
Since Connor became
head coach back in 2006 his
teams have fini shed 1-10 and
6-5. This year's team, with a
win, will finish 7-4. But the
one constant has been the at-
titude and sportsmanship of
his teams.
While playing in the At-
lantic Coast League in 2006
and 2001, North was recog-
nized by the league's coach-
es and awarded the Team
Sportsmanship Award. In
the first year in the Patriot
League, North was again
recognized and awarded the
Team Sportsmanship Award
by the league's coaches.
"It is something we are
proud of," Connor said.
"That is now 22 teams that
have honored us for our
sportsmanship on the field
the last three years. It is
good to see with success we
have remained good sports
on the field. But our fo-
cus right now is on Quincy
and hopefully coming out
Thanksgiving with a win."
Cont'd From Page 21
every ball thrown to him
he'll get and his has an un-
canny ability to break tack-
les. He has good football
instincts and is so explosive.
Those two work well to-
gether."
Senior Tim Lewis, an
All-League selection on de-
fense, is also a threat on of-
fense. Lewis has scored two
TDs this fall. Seniors Mark
Gilbody (TD, two FGs),
Sean Gray, Zach Manning
(TD), Bryan McGee and
Max Devoe along with ju-
niors Kenny Nguyen and
Ed Jolicouer (two TDs) will
pose challenges to the Red
Raiders' defense as well.
Quincy averaged 12.0
points per game on offense
this season.
On defense, the Presi-
dents, behind the play of
Lewis , held opponents to just
under 13 points per game.
Lewis (55 tackles, eight
QB sacks) is supported on
defense by senior captains
Sean Gray (82 tackles) and
EJ Louis (three QB sacks),
seniors Zach Manning, Ste-
fon Davis, Taylor Radcliffe,
Pat Femadez, Derek An-
drews, Mark Gilbody, Bryan
McGee and Raddatz.
Underclassmen Ngozi
Aguguo (three INTs), Ken-
ny Nguyen (two INTs) and
James Nguyen (four forced
fumbles) head an impressive
junior class on defense.
On special teams, Rear-
don has no problem sending
Mark Gilbody out there to
kick in a pressure situation.
Gilbody 's 38-yard field goal
at the tail end of the first half
against Whitman-Hanson
ended up being the differ-
ence in the game. Quincy
won 3-0. Gilbody finished
the season 2-for-4 on field
goals tried.
When Quincy takes the
field tomorrow they will
be looking across the field
at a different North Quincy
squad. The Raiders possess
a balanced offense, a great
defense and a strong deter-
mined will to end this nine-
game losing streak.
North has an All-League
quarterback in junior Mike
Stanton, four running backs
who scored at least two
touchdowns and a solid re-
ceiving core.
Stanton has thrown four
TDs and rushed for two
more while running backs
Pat Watkins (six TDs), Joe
Vialpando (five TDs), Brian
Donahey (two TDs) and
Terrence Staley (five TDs)
have chumed out yards and
points at a rapid pace. Paul
Reamer leads the team with
two TDs from the wide re-
ceiver position.
North Quincy averaged
18.1 points per game on of-
fense.
"We have definitely
scouted them up," Rear-
don said. "I can tell you
that Stanton is one heck of
a quarterback. We can't let
him be comfortable because
he will kill us. They have two
very good running backs in
Watkins and Vialpando and
even Staley is productive.
We have to make sure we
make tackles. We have to
purse the ball and hopefully
keep them in check.
"They have a good offen-
sive line but we have to cre-
ate pressure and make Stan-
ton move around. If he has
time in the pocket we could
be in trouble."
When Quincy and Peter-
son have the ball they would
be smart to keep an eye
on the Raiders' defensive
backfield and linebacking
core. Senior RJ Barden, an
All-League selection on de-
fense, is a beast at the line-
backer spot and junior Paul
Reamer, also an All-League
choice, intercepted eight
passes. Senior Matt Jay had
four INTs.
Other Raiders who play
major roles on defense in-
clude seniors Terrell Sta-
ley, Watkins, Nick Law-
less, Vialpando, Joe Benoit,
James Budukiewicz, Tim
Stille and Chris Bergeron.
Juniors Joe McGee, Mike
Benoit, Tommy Pettiti,
Owen Kilcullen, Pablo Qui-
nones, Dan Cedrone, Wesley
McDonald, Terrence Staley
and Trevor Richardson will
also see time on defense.
The Raiders' defense
pitched three shutouts this
season and at one point
played four straight games
(16 quarters) and allowed
just one offensive touch-
down in that stretch.
"North has a very good
defense and offense," said
Reardon. "We can not turn
the ball over against them
and they do a good job forc-
ing teams to do just that. We
can't have stupid penalties
and when we are on de-
fense we can't miss tackles
otherwise it could be a long
game."
When it comes to the
nine-game Thanksgiving
Day winning streak, a streak
that Reardon had been a part
of before this year as QHS'
defensive coordinator, he
says the pressure is not on
North Quincy but on his
Presidents.
"If you ask my opinion I
would think that they would
have an advantage because
they have that extra motiva-
tion. It has been nine years.
But it doesn't matter, like
I said earlier, the records
and past performances do
not apply. Whichever team
plays mistake-free ball will
win.
"It should make for an
exciting game."

Final Figure Dec. 15
Average Homeowner
Faces $500-Plus
Tax Bill Increase
By LAURA GRIFFIN
City Council Monday
postponed action on the
2009 tax levy until Dec. 15,
but the inevitable is looming
and it's bad news.
The average homeowner
faces at least a $500 plus
minimum tax bill hike start-
ing in January, according
to testimony at the City
V. . ^ncil's public hearing on
the 2009 real estate tax.
According to the city's
statistics, the average home
in Quincy is valued at
$347,000 and the tax in-
crease will be about 15% or
$582 under the current cal-
culations.
Between now and Dec.
15, councillors plan to work
with Mayor Thomas Koch
to cut the budget by $2 mil-
lion, but any cut will be
minimal at best.
Ward 6 Councillor Brian
McNamee said if the coun-
cil's best scenario becomes
a reality, the tax bill increase
for the average homeowner
will be $534, and reduced
by only $48.
City Council does not set
the actual tax rate, but sets
the percentage of the local
tax levy for each class of
real and personal property
and t:,.. residential factor.
The state's Department
of Revenue then uses all the
data from the city and, in
fact, calculates the tax rate.
The 2008 tax rate is
$10.83 per $1000 value and
the anticipated 2009 rate
would be approximately
$12.75 for single family ho-
meowners.
The tax rate for com-
mercial, industrial and busi-
ness property is $22.22 and
the anticipated tax rate for
2009 will be approximately
$26.23.
"1 fully understand the
gravity of the economic sit-
uation we face and I know
families are struggling."
Koch said Tuesday, when
discussing the proposed tax
hike.
However, he added, "I
believe we have a responsi-
bility to provide the educa-
tion, public safety and pub-
lic services that are the hall-
mark of this community . "

Takes Issue To Civil Service Commission
Smyth Files Complaint
On Fire Chief 'Bypass'
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Deputy Fire Chief Gary
Smyth's attorney filed a
complaint Tuesday with the
Civil Service Commission
charging that Mayor Thomas
Koch deliberately violated
Civil Service rules when he
bypassed Smyth for the fire
chief's post.
"This is a very serious
situation," said Attorney
Betsy Ehrenberg who repre-
sents Smyth and outlined her
charges at the City Council's
Public Safety Committee
Monday.
Ehrenberg charged that
Koch broke or skirted the
law repeatedly in the past
months as he dodged pro-
moting Smyth who, with
another candidate, topped
the current Civil Service list
which does not expire until
March 2010.
"It certainly won't be the
first time that Civil Service
blasts the City of Quincy,"
said Ehrenberg.
Ehrenberg suggested that
Koch discouraged eligible
candidates from accepting
the fire chief's position in
order to eliminate the cur-
rent list and request a new
Civil Service list with dif-
ferent candidates.
Illlllll
In early November,
Koch called for a new Civil
Service list when the num-
ber of eligible candidates
dwindled from four to two
and then only Smyth.
Smyth and Deputy Chief
George McGonagle, origi-
nally, shared the top spot on
the original list.
McGonagle outscored
Smyth by a tenth of a point,
but he declined the position
as did Deputy Chief Jeffrey
Starr after both determined
they would not take the pro-
motion.
Smyth was never offered

City Council Votes Tax
Break For 'Citizen Soldiers'
Gas Leak Evacuates 1^00
At Quincy High School
City Council Monday
unanimously approved a tax
break for Quincy 's "citizen
soldiers" serving in foreign
countries as proposed by
Ward 3 Councillor Kevin
Coughlio.
The act must now be ap-
proved as a home rule peti-
tion by the state legislature.
Under the plan, the city
will abate a portion of real
estate taxes for military per-
sonnel on a need basis for
the period they are deployed
in foreign countries.
Applicants must meet
eligibility requirements es-

Stand up and support them."
"We have speeches.
We have parades," said
Coughlin, adding that now
is the time to "put our mon-
ey where our mouth is."
On hand for the discus-
sion were members of 13
veterans groups from across
the city led by spokesman
Thomas Stansbury of the
city's Veterans' Services
Department. Members of
the veterans groups repre-
sented veterans from World
War II through the current
Iraqi conflict.
In introducing the mo-
tion, Coughlin described
today's military composed
significantly of "citizen
soldiers," men and women
whose lives have been inter-
rupted by the call to active
duty and whose income has
been devastated by reduced
pay.
Coughlin said the city's
current allowance for real
estate tax deferral was not
sufficient, "If you can't pay
your bills now, you won't be
able to pay them six months
from now."
The tax abatement plan
for soldiers was modeled on
a similar program offered
by Braintree for active mili-
tary, according to Coughlin
who expects Quincy, like
Braintree, will cap the
city's contribution at a to-
tal $100,000 and $20,000 a
year with an expiration date
in 2010.
Coughlin said that his
research indicates there is a
maximum pool of 83 Quincy
men and women serving in
the military.
However, the number of
candidates eligible for the
break is considerable lower,
according to Coughlin who
said most do not own real
estate in the city.
Applicants must, also,
qualify through a means test
which substantiates a loss of
earnings in comparing their
civilian pay to their Armed
Forces salary.
Quincy High School
was evacuated of 1,400
students and faculty for the
day Tuesday morning when
workmen planting trees on
the Saville Avenue side of
the building broke a five-
inch gas line.
No injuries were report'-
ed.
The leak was discov-
ered about 9:30 a.m., said
Deputy Fire Chief George
McGonagle, and the Fire
Department remained on the
scene for two hours before it
was under control.
"National Grid was called
but they had a hard time
finding the leak because it
was buried in the grottnd"
said McGonagle. "Some g&s
leaked into the building but
it was less than 25 per cent
of the explosive window."
The gas was back on Ime
Tuesday afternoon, he said,
and school was expected to
resume Wednesday mom-
Workers from the
Gilbane Building Company
were planting the trees for
their aesthetic value when
they broke the line carrying

Will Challenge Leo Kelly
Margaret Laforest Candidate
For Ward 1 Council Seat
tti'fiStl'JJ
Margaret Laforest, a
Houghs Neck housewife and
part-time events manager,
plans to challenge the vet-
eran Leo Kelly for the Ward
1 seat on the City Council in
the November, 2009 elec-
tion.
"Leo has done a great
job," she said. "I have deep
respect for him. But 1 feel
it is time for a change. It's
time to bring young energy
to the Council."
Laforest, 33, who lives
on Rock Island Road with
her husband and their two
daughters, said she plans to
take out papers this week
but won't begin serious
campaigning until after the
first of the year.
"I'm just starting to line
things up right now," she
said, noting that, as presi-
dent of the Houghs Neck
Community Council , she
has some projects she wants
to finish before announcing.
Laforest 's roots go deep
in Houghs Neck.
Her daughters, Kelsey,
13, an eighth grader at
Sacred Heart School, and
MARGARET LAFOREST
Krista, 11, a sixth grader
at Broad Meadows Middle
School , are sixth generation
Neckers.
Her husband, Jeff, is a
technician with Verizon.
The candidate herself
works part-time manag-
ing events in the Boston
office of the Society of
the Preservation of New
England Antiquities, owners
of the Josiah Quincy House.
A Quincy history buff,
she helped to research the
recent rehabilitation of the
Abigail Adams Cairn by
bringing a conservator out
to evaluate the crumbling
South Quincy landmark.
Pearl Harbor
Memorial Sunday
At Morrisette Post
Her proudest moment
came when she was a stu-
dent in Broad Meadows
Middle School.
"I suggested to Ron
Adams that we get a ship
to display that was built at
the Fore River Shipyard,"
she said. "I wanted the
Lexington but we couldn't
get it. I was a sophomore
in college when the Salem
came to Quincy."
Laforest graduated from
Quincy High School and
enrolled at the University
of Miami in Florida to study
environmental engineering.
"But you can't take the
Quincy girl out of Quincy,"
she said.
She left Miami short of
graduating and obtained
an associate's degree from
Eastern Nazarene College in
her hometown.
Laforest has helped cam-
paign for several local can-
didates in the past, includ-
ing Kelly and Mayor Tom
Koch, and her mother, Betty
McLean, worked for Mike
Cheney.
"That was part of my in-
spiration for politics," she
said.
STUDENTS at the Montclair School display some of the 873 items of canned goods they col-
lected in their food drive to help the Quincy Crisis Center feed the needy during the holiday
season.

Three Little Words
SCHEELE
J
It's that time again.
The sneezing, wheezing and coughing season.
Everybody's doing it. Or will be soon.
The guy sitting behind you in church. (Why didn't
he stay home?) The waitress putting away her hand-
kerchief and asking, "What can I get for you?" The
woman in the supermarket squeezing the tomatoes or
grapes.
And if you haven't heard it yet, you soon will:
Someone sneezing telling someone coughing, "It's go-
ing around. Everybody's got it."
We all can't escape it.
But, says Health Commissioner
Drew Scheele, we can help keep from
getting it and spreading it.
He still has a few words of ad-
vice. Three to be exact: "Wash your
hands!"
Good advice anytime. But espe-
cially now with the seasonal variety
of ailments and germs beginning to float around.
"Washing your hands," Scheele says, "is the most
effective way to prevent the spread of germs.
"Don't just sprinkle a little water on them. Wash
your hands with hot water and soap while rotating
them.
"Wash them for at least 20 seconds or about the time
it takes you to sing 'Happy Birthday'."
And he adds:
"It's disgusting to see a guy walking out of the
men's room without washing his hands, touch a door
handle someone else will touch after him, and going
back to his table and handle a roll or butter someone
else is going to eat."
Scheele says owners or managers of restaurants and
other eating-places should continuously stress to their
food handlers the importance of washing their hands.
And as a reminder to employees and patrons of eat-
ing establishments he has had notices posted in rest-
rooms urging them to wash their hands.
He believes there should be as much public focus
on washing hands as there is on smoking.
"Dirty hands are right up there with cigarettes and
second-hand smoke as a health threat," he says.
Unwashed hands run in some families like a sort of
tradition, he says.
"If you see kids who don't wash their hands, it's
usually because their parents don't.
"And their parents before them probably didn't.
And the kids will grow up and become parents and
their kids won't be washing their hands either. And,
so on!"
He also notes you seldom see characters in a movie
or TV sitcom wash their hands before sitting down to
eat.
"It would be a nice reminder to viewers if the charac-
ters were shown washing their hands once in awhile."
And to be extra safe from germs, Scheele suggests
that you wash your hands first chance you get after
shaking hands with someone.
Another culprit in the spread of germs, he says, is
the kitchen sponge.
"It's a bacteria carrier," he says. "It is used, say to

wipe a cutting board and then rinsed off. But that's not
enough.
"Bacteria can develop and then spread when the
sponge is used to wipe the kitchen counter or that cut-
ting board again."
If you want to keep that sponge from spreading
germs, he has a couple of tips:
Put it in a microwave turned on high for a minute.
Or, in the dishwasher for a cycle.
Another villain in the battle against germs is the
guy who thinks nothing of taking a swig of milk direct
from the carton and putting it back in the refrigerator
with his mouth all over the opening or from the orange
juice container.
And those who drink from the same glass are gam-
bling with their health, he says.
But the best defense against infections and diseases
comes in those three little words: Wash your hands.
That means all of us.
It's pretty simple and inexpensive.
No prescription required.
Just a bar of soap.

X. Finn and superior officers to discuss plans for a stepped-
up drive against the increasing num- «,,,,,«,_,,,_,__„,»^
ber of burglaries, robberies and drug

QUINCY SCOUT SUPERVISES
PLANTING OF 500 PINE SEEDLINGS
G. Fredrick Shepard, a Life Scout from Troop 42, spon-
sored by St. John's Church, Quincy, has taken a big step
towards reaching the status of Eagle Scout.
"Fred," a 13-year old freshman at Boston College High
School, organized, researched and supervised the planting
of 500 eight-inch pine seedlings in the Houghton's Pond
area as a service project for the Quincy Community. Each
boy wishing to become an Eagle Scout must perform a ser-
vice project.
Fred, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick V. Shepard of 93
Center Street, West Quincy, has been planning his project
for over a year. In less than 15 years the seedlings will grow
to maturity forming a natural barrier between traffic-heavy
Route 128 and the Houghton's Pond baseball field and ten-
nis courts.
Fred was ably assisted by Robert Hamais, 69 Common
St., West Quincy.

The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Admi ni stration
(NOAA) plans to bail out
those in the shellfish indus-
try affected by this season's
red tide to the tune of $2
million.
"While this certainly
does not make up for all the
economic losses that our
fishermen have faced," said
Congressman Bill Delahunt,
"I am pleased that the fed-
eral government has stepped
up and provided some relief
for those who have been
hurt hard by the most recent
red tide outbreak.
'The health of New
England's shellfish indus-
try is vital to the economic
health of our coastal commu-
nities and we must do more
to help our fishermen during
these difficult times."
The algal bloom known
as the red tide began closing
shellfish bed on Cape Cod
in May and gradually spread
north preventing fishermen
from harvesting clams, mus-
sels, oysters and other shell-
fish.

Koch Rejects Zoning Change
To Increase High-Rise Density
Mayor Thomas Koch has
rejected efforts to increase
high-rise density in Business
C zones and formally noti-
fied City Council this week
of his decision.
The decision immedi-
ately impacts a three-year
legal battle between Marina
Bay residents and developer
Thomas O'Connell over
plans for a high-rise apart-
ment building on Victory
Road, North Quincy.
"I do not believe it is ap-
propriate to enact laws amid
ongoing court cases, and this
could set a troubling prec-
edent for the future," said
Koch who has been heavily
lobbied by both sides of the
issue.
Under current zoning,
O'Connell can build only
25 units on the 1.5-acre
on Victory Road while the
change would have allowed
80 units on the same lot.
The issue is, currently, in
Land Court and the judge
has asked to be kept in-
formed of any city action on

checks on all volunteers.
the zoning.
Koch acknowledged that
the zoning code on the issue
needs to be clarified and a
zoning task force studying
all the city's districts will
address the Business C zon-
ing.
"It is my hope that a com-
prehensive plan will lead to
a compromise that fosters
sustainable development
across the city," Koch said.
The Attorney General's
legal staff, according to City
Solicitor James Timmins
will now determine any fur-
ther action on the controver-
sial issue this year.
Timmins said Monday
that he will ask the Attorney
General's office to resolve
a contradiction between the
state law, which indicates
the mayor's decision is final,
and the city's charter which
allows City Council to over-
ride the mayor's veto with a
two-thirds vote.
The zoning issue would
affect other parcels in such
areas as North Quincy;
Wollaston, and Quincy
Center.
City Councillor Michael
McFarland, originally, rec-
ommended the change in
December 2007, but the is-
sue was held over and re-
considered last spring.
The City Council ap-
proved the revision Nov.
10 by a 6-3 vote with the
majority citing the need for
smart growth in the city.
Councillors Brian
McNamee, Ward 6; Douglas
Gutro, Ward 5, and Daniel
Raymondi, Ward 2, op-
posed the change after out-
lining the impact traffic and
heavy density would have
on neighborhoods in their
districts.
JOHN KOZAK, son of Richie and Margie Kozak of North
Quincy, recently graduated from Daniel Webster College in
New Hampshire. He received a bachelor of science degree in
aviation science and a commercial pilot's license. Kozak is
working as a flight instructor at Horizon Aviation in Provi-
dence, RJ.

On Proposed Project At 580 Quarry St.
Ward 4 Councillor Jay
Davis will host a neighbor-
hood meeting Thursday,

lard St., to discuss a propos-
al by Galvin Construction to

by Galvin Construction is
a revision of the previously
approved plans for the con-
struction of a 22-unit, three

ing," Davis said.

Fore River Bridge Design Work Ahead Of Schedule
Design work for the new
Fore River Bridge is under-
way several years ahead of
the original schedule.
But you could be driving
a 2015 Toyota or Chewy
when you first drive over it.
'This is positive news
for the tens of thousands of
conunuters and drivers who
utilize the Fore River Bridge
every day," said Sen. Bob
Hedlund, the Weymouth
Republican who is the rank-
ing minority member of the
Joint Legislative Committee
on Transportation.
"The bridge is a gateway
to the South Shore and my
district. We need a perma-
nent span in place as soon as
possible."
For the past five years,
traffic between Quincy
Point and North Weymouth
has been using a temporary
bridge, known locally as
"the erector set," built at a
cost of $40 million and de-
signed to last 15 years.
Construction on the new
permanent bridge was not
slated to begin until 2017
with completion in 2021.
Under the new schedule,
said Hedlund, the start could
move up to late 2011 and
construction completed in
2015.
A $3 billion borrowing
package put together by Gov.
Deval Patrick and approved
by the Legislature during
the summer contained the
funding needed to move the
design date forward.
The design of the new
bridge will be either a ver-
tical lift like the temporary
bridge or a draw bridge
known as "double lead bas-
cular" like the old bridge
which was built in 1936 and
recently demolished.
The engineering firm of
STV Inc. has been awarded
a contract to perform the
preliminary design work and
will be conducting environ-
mental assessments of the
area and begin the lengthy
permitting process over the
next year.
The process will include
public hearings for nearby
residents, business own-
ers and conunuters, who
come from Hingham, Hull,
Cohasset, Scituate and other
South Shore towns.
"IhavetoldMassHighway
and STV that I expect them
to listen carefully to the
comments and concerns
voiced by those who are go-
ing to be most impacted by
the construction of the new
bridge," said Hedlund.

Ward 4 Council Candidate
Palmucci Kicks Off Dec. 9
Houghs Neck lY-ee Lighting Sunday
Brian Palmucci, an ear-
ly candidate for the City
Council from Ward 4, will,
kick off his campaign with
a reception Tuesday, Dec.
9, from 7 to 9 p.m. at the
Common Market,97 Willard
St.,WestQuincy.
The suggested donation
is $25 per person.
Palmucci, a 30-year-
old lawyer who prosecutes
sexually dangerous persons
for the State Department of
Corrections, said he's run-
ning "to bring fresh ideas
and a new vision to the City
Council."
"Working together we
can change this city for the
better. Elect me to the City
Council and 1 will be a tire-
less watchdog for our neigh-
borhood, ensuring our city's
streets are safer."
Palmucci, who lives
on Willard Street, was
critical of current Ward 4
Councillor Jay Davis, who,
he said, "badly bungled" the
handling of a controversial
billboard that towers over
the road.
""If I were on the coun-
cil," he said, "I would have
worked with the neighbors
before that roadside blight
was put up. If elected I will
continue to fight for its re-
moval.
"Our current councillor
,-.''
BRIAN PALMUCCI
failed us by not being re-
sponsive to the community.
Put me on the council and
I will make constituent ser-
vices my top priority. 1 will
return every call and listen
to all of my constituents'
concerns."
Palmucci promised to
encourage "smart and re-
sponsible development" that
would expand the city's tax
base and protect the unique
character of the neighbor-
hood.
"I will be an effective ad-
vocate for development that
makes sense for the neigh-
borhood," he said.
He also vowed to use his
law enforcement experience
to help fight the city's drug
problem.
"As a state and local
prosecutor, 1 have stood
up for our most vulnerable
citizens," he said, "putting
criminals behind bars for

the award recognizes an
individual for outstanding
community service or a spe-
cial achievement.
Last year, Robert and
Gloria Noble were honored
for their service to worthy
community causes for more
than a half century. They are
the first husband and wife
team - and the 24'" and 25'"
recipients - of the award.
The Nobles were se-
lected for the honor by a
panel of judges from among
44 nominees submitted by
Quincy Sun readers.
Again this year, Sun read-
ers may nominate the person
they feel is most deserving
of the award.
A nomination ballot to
help the selection process
appears on this page in this
week's issue of The Quincy

Wednesday, Dec. 31. After
nominations close, a judg-
ing panel will be selected to

Smyth Files Complaint On Fire Chief 'Bypass'
Cont 'd From Page I
the job.
'He's never been told
why he's been bypassed,"
said Ehrenberg who noted
that other candidates reject-
ed the promotion due to the
salary.
Ehrenberg suggested that
Smyth would probably have
accepted a pay cut. "They
likely feared he would ac-
cept."
Ehrenberg, also, cited
Koch's appointment of for-
mer Deputy Chief Joseph
Barron as acting chief of
the department; "There's
no such thing as an 'acting
chief.'"
Ehrenberg said that
Barron's appointment cre-
ates "a status that does not
exist under the law."
In addition. Ward 6
Councillor Brian McNamee
noted that the 'acting chief
is not on the Civil Service
list.
Smythattended Monday 's
meeting as did Ernie Arienti,
president of the firefighters'
union and, approximately
25 of Smyth's supporters.
Arienti said he was not
there to support any candi-
date, but to provide factual
information on the contract
and the history of the city's
appointments.
'Did we call for a new list
when there were only two
persons (in the past)?" asked
City Council President Jay
Davis.
Arienti said that, in the
past, mayors used such a
list.
In fact, Davis said that
the Civil Service list for
chief was down to two can-
didates when the current
Police Chief Paul Keenan,
Koch's brother-in-law, was
chosen last June.
City Solicitor Jim
Timmins reminded council-
lors and the public that Chief
Keenan was reconmiended
by a conmiittee headed by
Sheriff Michael Bellotti and
that Koch had no part in the
selection process.
Both Tinmiins and First
Assistant Soliicitor Kevin
Madden described Koch's
efforts to make the best ap-
pointment in accordance
with Civil Service.
Timmins said that Koch
inherited "a police depart-
ment in turmoil" and a no-
show fire chief.
"We had issues,"
Tinmiins said, noting the
'acting chief (Smyth) had
taken over reins of the de-
partment."
"The mayor's focus is on
the fire department," said
Timmins, adding that "no
such by-pass did occur" and
that Koch followed the pro-
cess.
Tinmiins said he would
not allow "Koch's name
and reputation to be be-
smirched."
Coughlin, and Finn,
along with other councillors
praised Smyth's work at the
department.
"It sickens me to be
here," said Smyth, noting
that he loved his work and
the city.
In formal session later
Monday, City Council
unanimously approved
a resolution urging the
mayor to "abide by Civil
Service and union con-
tracts" as recommended by
Ward 2 Councillor Daniel
Raymondi.

Joel Hathaway is the new
executive chef at The Neigh-
borhood Club of Quincy.
He has worked at Finians
and Gazelle, in Quincy, Bar-
retts on Boston Harbor, and
the Blue Hill Country Club
in Canton.
He has mastered his cu-
linary career of the cooking
process; prep, pantry, fry,

ing to cooking as a "kid in
the kitchen" and defines his
style of cooking as "classic
with a modem spin."
Hathaway admits that the
biggest challenge for almost
any chef is keeping their
menus healthy and heart
smart; gone are the days
of heavy creamy or buttery
sauces.
He acknowledges that
it is very pleasant to have
the opportunity to personal-
ize a menu for a member's
special occasion; and allows
him to feel part of so many
very special celebrations

Average Homeowner
Faces $500-PIus
Tax Bill Increase
Mayor Koch's Statement
On Proposed Tax Rate:
Cont'd From Page 1
tate tax increase. "Quincy is
made up of a lot of average
Joes" who can't afford such
a hike.
'There's a problem with
our system," said Fisher who
repeated her warnings of a
year ago when she warned
the same councillors.
Fisher said councillors
can not continue to separate
the tax rate from the budget
by discussing the budget
in July and the tax rate in
December.
When discussing the
budget, Financial Director
Warren Sproul said that the
rule of thumb was $24 in
taxes for every one million
in the budget.
Among the factors im-
pacting this year's tax rate is
a slower growth, according
to Chief Assessor Marion
Fantucchio who told coun-
cillors the city expected a $5
million in increased growth
while the actual growth was
slightly over $3 million.
"We had to adjust new
growth because of declining
values," said Fantucchio.
"We all have to recog-
nize we are in a recession,"
said Ward 2 Councillor
Daniel Raymondi.
Koch's office provided
a list of issues affecting the
tax rate which included $5.1
million in budget costs pre-
viously paid through water
and sewer costs, a $1 .7 mil-
lion underpayment for debt
last year, $1.4 million in
unfunded employee benefits
and additional expenses
for the Honeywell Energy
agreement.
This is the largest single
year increase in more than
10 years, but the average
homeowner also endured a
$522 increase in 2002 and a
$550 increase in 2004.
Last year's average in-
crease was $65.
One of the major prob-
lems with this year's budget
is the city is just $56,000
under the city's tax levy
limit, according to finance
Committee Chairman John
Keenan.
The levy limit determines
how much can be raised
without asking the voters to
approve an increase.
If an emergency occurs,
residents "probably wouldn't
accept an override," said
Ward 2 Councillor Daniel
Raymondi.
It's unlikely that residents
would vote to approve an
override and increase their
real estate taxes even more.
Mayor Koch's statement
on proposed tax rate:
"Our administration is
focused on two main pri-
orities: Righting our fiscal
ship and maintaining the
core services our residents
expect and deserve. While
an incredibly tough deci-
sion, I believe it is the right
one now and the right one
to protect the future of our
city.
"I fully understand the
gravity of the economic sit-
uation we face, and I know
families are struggling.
But I believe we have a re-
sponsibility to provide the
education, public safety, and
public services that are the
hallmaric of this community
and will be for many years
to come.
"We make this decision
now to ensure we are not
in the same situation mov-
ing forward. We face uncer-
tainty on several levels, and
the prospect of deep cuts in
state aid is real . If we do not
take action now to get on
solid footing, the situation
may only become worse.
"I am confident in
Quincy 's future, and I know
we will not only weather this
storm, but emerge a stronger
city."

Budget Do-it- Yourself Moving Tips
(ARA) - If you're one of
the approximately 50 mil-
lion Americans moving this
year, you probably don't
want to spend a fortune to
get from point A to point B.
With a little planning ahead,
it's possible to execute a do-
it-yourself move without
breaking the bank.
According to the U.S.
Census Bureau, about 16
percent of all moves are
work-related ~ moving to
find a new job or to be clos-
er to a current job. Whatever
your reason for moving, you
don't have to pay a company
to pack up your belongings
and transport them to your
new home. Here are some
easy ways to move yourself
and stay on budget:
• If you need to rent a
truck or trailer, especially
if you only have a few large
items that can't fit into your
vehicle, check out your lo-
cal big box retail hardware
store. They often rent trucks
and trailers by the hour at a
fraction of the cost of renting
from a moving company.
• Collect free boxes from
friends, family and from
local grocery and liquor
stores. Save old newspapers
to wrap valuables in instead
of purchasing expensive
rolls of bubble wrap.
• Plug in the refrigera-
tor at your new place a day
or two ahead of time. Pack
frozen and perishable foods
in a cooler with ice packs
and unpack that food into
your new fridge first. Hav-
ing your food melt or go bad
means an additional , and ex-
pensive, trip to the grocery
store.
• Pick up change of ad-
dress forms, free of charge,
from the post office. Re-
quest a free "welcome kit"
from the local chamber of
conunerce in your new com-
munity. These kits contain
valuable information and
often include money sav-
FLAVIN
Insurance
Aj^encv
ing coupons for local busi-
nesses.
• Pack wisely and avoid
filling boxes so much that
they're too heavy for you to
lift without help. You'll get
more done with each person
carrying their own box.
• Qear a path. Before you
lift a load, make sure you've
got a clear path to your des-
tination. You won't be able
to see well or move obsta-
cles out of your way once
the load is in your arms.
• Use the right tools for
the job. Hand trucks can be
rented inexpensively and
should be used to transport
multiple boxes at once or
smaller items of furniture.
Remember that hand trucks
are not good for moving
items up or down stairs and
are difficult to maneuver
around tight turns. For large
pieces of furniture, appli-
ances, stairs and tight spac-
es, try the Shoulder Dolly,
an ergonomically designed,
patented harness system that
allows users to lift with their
legs and safely pick up vir-
tually any heavy or bulky
item in the home (www.
ShoulderDolly.com).
Working in two-person
teams, users simply strap
into the Shoulder Dolly, slip
the carrying strap under the
item to be lifted, and then
use their leg muscles to lift
the weight. By using your
legs (your strongest mus-
cles), the Shoulder Dolly
significantly decreases the
strain and risk of injury to
your lower back, hands, bi-
ceps and forearms.
• Don't end up in the hos-
pital. W^en lifting a load,
keep your back straight and
bend your knees. Keep your
head up and look straight
ahead to ensure your back
remains perpendicular to
the ground. Hold the object
securely and use the large,
powerful leg muscles to lift
the weight. Avoid twisting
or turning at the waist when
lifting. Turn your entire
body by moving your hips
first, which will force your
shoulders to stay in line.

Open Door Policy
Q«I ceftd somewhere
• that when getting a
ttome ready for si^, a per-
son should balance any
doors that won't stay open.
How does one balance the
doors? When I contacted a
handyman and asked if be
wmild give me a price to
balance three doors, he
didn't seem to icnow wiuit I
was talking about nease
help. — Edna and Jim, via
e-maU
A, "Balance" probably
• means shimming up
the doors so that they hang
straight on tl^ir hinges,
allowing them to open and
close freely. But that doesn't
guarantee that the door
won't swing shut on its own.
Houses sometimes settle
onto their foundations at a
very slight angle. Just
enough that doors opposite
that angle will slowly swing
shut on their own.
A balanced door is a nice
touch, but personally, as a
home buyer, a door that
swings shut by itself is not
one of the "big things" I
wtNild look for. I woukt be
more interested in how well-
cared for the interior and
exterior look, and if the
house is right for my needs,
because I can fix a poorly
hung door anytime.
If you must have balanced
doors, though, you can
adjust their angle by a few
degrees using shims. A shim
is just a thin piece of wood

LT. DAN MINTON
On Friday, November 21, 2008 at 1:48 p.m., Offi-
cer Mark Millane, along with Sergeant Dan Flaherty,
Lieutenant Brian Tobin and Detective Brian Coen re-
sponded to the area of 1260
Furnace Brook Parkway for
a call of a suspicious male
in the area, looking in back-
yards. Upon arrival. Of-
ficer Millane spoke with
owners of a local business,
who stated that around 1:30
P.M., a white male in his
early 20's wearing a dark
colored hooded jacket and
dark pants walked into
the family business and
asked what time it was and
then left. A short time later, the same man walked back
into the business and asked him if he could use the bath-
room. He was told that he could not and then left.
The business owner watched as the suspect crossed
the street and entered the back yard of a neighbor. Officer
Millane spoke with the owner of that residence, who said
that he found the suspect in his yard and confronted him.
The suspect asked the resident, "Someone stole a bike.
Do you have a 15-year-old son?" The homeowner told him
no and watched as the suspect walked over to the area
of Rustic Place. The suspect was last seen in the rear of
a home on Rustic Place, so officers were directed there to
search.
While in the rear of a home on Rustic Place, Officers
observed that the back window of a residence was bro-
ken, with a large amount of broken glass on the back deck
and inside the residence. There was also a large rock on
the back porch, along with a Nokia cell phone, an iPod
and a gold chain with a name and 12/4/07 written on the
emblem. Detective Dave Pacino also found a single gold
earring and a silver diamond ring. These items were photo-
graphed and secured as evid^ice.
A Job Well Done
Traces of blood were also found and swabbed as evi-
dence. Additional Officers responded to the area to search
for the suspect. During this time. Officer Michael Duran
was dispatched to the rear of 290 Quarry St. on a report of a
disorder in the parking lot. Upon arrival, the officer inter-
viewed the victim who was standing by his vehicle. He said
that moments earlier he was going out to his car when he ob-
served a male (that he described as matching the suspect)
rummaging through his vehicle. He approached the suspect,
who then began to talk about money and Oxycontin owed
to him by the car owner.
The car owner said he had never seen the suspect before
and did not owe him anything.
The suspect started bragging about being from "Southie,"
and then said, "Give me your money or I'll stab you."
The victim said he did not see a knife but the suspect
kept his hands hidden in his jacket pockets and alluded to
a knife. The car owner gave the suspect a five-dollar bill
and some ones and the suspect then fled the parking lot to-
wards Quarry Street. The car owner was unsure what was
missing from his vehicle.
Lt. Tobin, who also responded to the area, spoke with a
Federal Express driver, who stated that he saw the suspect
flee through a wooded area. Lt. Tobin directed officers to the
Churchill Road area to catch up with the suspect.
A few minutes later, a call came in that a man was run-
ning through yards on Mount Ararat Road, so Detectives Jim
Lencki, Karyn Barkas and Officer Don Sautter responded to
the area. They worked their way through the backyards and
spotted the suspect running towards them. They approached
the suspect and ordered him to show his hands, but he re-
fused, then looked around as if preparing an escape route.
At this point, Detective Lencki grabbed the suspect's
arm to detain him. The suspect Xncd to elbow the detec-
tive in the head and this led to the suspect being brought
to the ground. In the suspect's hand was a small bag of a
green leafy substance, which appeared to be marijuana. He
then starting yelling " I'm from Southie and I am going
to kick your %$#, you big nosed *&'^." The suspect was
frisked but did not have a knife or other weapon.
The suspect also had three credit cards and an iden-
tification card from Wentworth Institute of Technology
with someone else's name on them. It was soon deter-
mined that the cards belonged to the homeowner where
the break occurred. Sergeant Flaherty brought the owner
of the business where the suspect was first observed in the
area to identify the suspect. She confirmed his identity and
added that he was the same person who walked into the
neighbor's yard. Based on the above information and cir-
cumstances, the suspect, a 21 -year-old Quincy resident,
was placed under arrest for "Breaking and Entering" of
the residence on Rustic Place.
During booking, one diamond earring and a small
amount of cash was also found on the suspect, which is
believed to have been taken in the break or from the car
owner. In addition, the suspect was holding an identifica-
tion card that belonged to the car owner.
The suspect was also charged with "Armed Robbery,
Breaking and Entering into a Motor Vehicle, Receiv-
ing Stolen Credit Cards, Knowingly Resisting Arrest, As-
sault on a Police Officer, and Possession of Class D Drug "
Nice Work!
U
CAR BREAKS UP! According to Detective/Lieuten-
ant John Steele, in the past three weeks, there have been
49 motor vehicle breaks, with 37 in the Wollaston/North
Quincy area. Many of the vehicles were unlocked while
others were entered by smashing a window. In many of
the cases, GPS units were stolen. There has also been a
trend in commercially marked vans, where tools and Sand-
ers were taken. The breaks have occurred during all hours.
If you see anyone acting suspiciously, observe a vehicle
or bicyclist riding through your neighbortiood that creates
suspicion, please contact the Quincy Police Department so
that we can check them out.

BALL OF THE FOOT
Metatarsalgia is a condi-
tion in which the metatarsal
region of the foot (located just
behind the toes and referred
to as the ball of the foot) be-
comes painful and inflamed.
Metatarsal is the area in the
forefoot that contains five
bones. These bones run
through the forefoot from the
arch In the mkJ-foot to the
base of the toe joints. Pain
associated with this condition
is usually most noticeable in
tiie area behind tiie smaller,
second, tilird, and fourth
toes. The pain can either be
a dull adhe or a sharp pain
throughout the bottom of the
foot. Other symptoms may
include numbness or tingling
in the toes or callusing that
devek>ps on tiie middle toes.
When you first visit our of-
fices because you are expe-
riendng pain and/or unu^jai
symptoms, well conduct a
physical exam and diagnos-
tic tests to detemnine your
foot problem. Once a diag-
nosis is made, well develop
a treatment plan designed to
relieve your discomfort and/
or correct the problem. We
offer a wide range of tech-
nologically advanced podi-
atric treatinents and proce-
dures at QUINCY MEDICAL

Quincy Senior Scores Three
2nd-Half Touchdowns
Lewis Leads
Presidents Past
Red Raiders
By SEAN BRENNAN
It is getting difficult to
label the Quincy Presidents
as the underdog on Thanks-
giving.
For the second consecu-
tive season, the Presidents
entered the final game of
the year against the North
Quincy Red Raiders with
the lesser record and came
out on top. This time around
Quincy took the field at Vet-
erans Memorial Stadium
with a 4-6 overall record
while North Quincy had a
6-4 overall record. But be-
hind a dominating second
half performance by senior
running back Tim Lewis,
the Presidents stormed back
from a 10-6 halftime deficit
to knock-off North Quincy
27-17 for their tenth straight
holiday victory and the
team's \A^ win in the last 15
years in this game.
"It felt good. There was
a lot of pressure there," said
Quincy 's first-year head
coach Bill ReaEdon, a defen-
sive coordinator on retired
coach Bob Noble's staff for
the previous nine Thanks-
giving Day victories. "It
felt really good to get this
first one. All season long
these kids have been resil-
ient. We lost three games
this season by one point so
they had dealt with some
adversity but every day they
came back to practice, buck-
led their chinstraps and went
back to work.
"And in a game like this
that experience plays out.
But 1 am especially proud of
the whole team because on
Thanksgiving there are kids
who step up and perform
who you just don't expect.
That is the great thing about
Thanksgiving. A great win
for our team."

game shifted 180 degrees
after the halftime break. The
Red Raiders behind a sec-
ond quarter two-yard touch-
down run by junior Terrence
Staley and a halftime-end-
ing field goal led 10-6 at the
break. North Quincy com-
pletely dominated the Presi-
dents in the first-half (the
Raiders forced three Quincy
turnovers), but just like last
year when North held a 7-6
lead at the break and fell
apart in the second half, the
Presidents once again out-
played them and snatched a
victory from the clutches of
defeat.
The Raiders took the ball
first to start the third quarter
and went three-and-out. On
the ensuing punt, the Raid-
ers were flagged for a per-
sonal foul (facemask) that
put the ball at the NQ-34
yard line. Quincy, begin-
ning at this point, boarded
the Tim Lewis express to
victory.
Lewis, a Patriot League
All-League selection on de-
fense, rumbled for 11 yards

The Raiders seemed
shaken by Lewis' TD. On
their next possession the

Lewis Leads Presidents Past Red Raiders
Cont'd From Page 21
But the Red Raiders were
not dead just yet. Junior All-
League quarterback Michael
Stanton, on North's next
play from scrimmage, found
a wide-open Paul Reamer
in the middle of the field.
Reamer sprinted 58-yards
down the right sidelines for
a touchdown. The catch-
and-run cut Quincy's lead to
20-17 with 10:38 to play in
the game.
'That play was some-
thing that we saw that we
wanted to go after," said
Connor. "We saw that their
coverage had opened up and
we just hit it."
This huge play swung
momentum North Quincy's
way. On Quincy's next
possession, NQ's Matt Jay
intercepted Peterson's at-
tempted pass to Anthony
Raddatz. The fourth Quincy
turnover of the game could
have been costly if not for
the game-changing play
from the Presidents' Kenny
Nguyen.
Stanton dropped back
to pass and fired a bullet to
Reamer on a slant. Nguy-
en, reading Stanton's eyes
the whole way, jumped the
route and came away with
an interception, giving the
Presidents the ball at the
NQ-39 yard line. Five Tim
Lewis runs later, including
a backbreaking H-yardTD,
Quincy led 27-17. Lewis
finished the game with 143
/aids on 26 carries and three
TDs. He also finished the
game with two quarterback
sacks on defense.
'The whole team emo-
tionally stepped up in the
second half," said Lewis
after the game. "Everyone
was just fired up when we
came back onto the field af-
ter halftime. It just felt great
to come away with a win. It
was a great way to end the
season."
'Timmy is a load," said
Reardon. "He's tough to
bring down. He doesn't
have super speed, but he has
good speed, so we just keep
hammering him up in there
and it worked out."
After Lewis' third TD of
the half, the two teams trad-
ed fumbles on the next two
offensive possessions. First
the Raiders gave the ball
away at their own 47-yard
line and then Quincy turned
it back over two plays later.
With time running out on
NQ, Stanton found senior
Pat Watkins for a 20-yard
gain, connected with Ream-
er for a 10-yard gain and
picked up 15 more yards on
a roughing the passer pen-
alty. On first-and-goal from
the five-yard line, the Presi-
dents' Ed Jolicouer strip-
sacked Stanton and Quincy
recovered. Two Lance Pe-
terson kneel-downs later
ended the 76* meeting be-
tween the schools and gave
Quincy its tenth straight win
on Thanksgiving.
For Reardon and his
MEMBERS OF THE QUINCY-NORTH QUINCY Football
Hall of Fame pose for a picture after the dedication of the new
Presidents it was business
as usual. For Connor and his
team, history, unfortunately,
repeated itself again.
"The streak matters,"
Connor said. "That is ten
games in a row now, that is
a decade. They are aware
of it. I try to downplay it as
much as 1 can because each
year I have a new team and
every year it is 50-50 going
into the game.
'The kids played their
hearts out. But it gets tough-
er and tougher for us to win
just because every time they
get another one it makes
that weight on the shoulders
even heavier. This is my
third year and we are taking
steps forward. We should be
even better next year."

Are Sleeping Pills
Worse Than
Insomnia?
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I am on Lunesta, a pre<
scription sleeping pill for
insomnia. The nur% prac-
titioner wanted me to take
half a pill every tiiird
night, but that didn't work
for me. I have to take half a
pill every night. Now she
wants me to take half a pill
every other night because
she's afraid that it will
become habit*forming.
Wiiat do you think of this
medicine? — S.S.
ANSWER: All sleeping
pills should be taken for as
shwt a tinw as possible. "As
short a time as possible"
implies that the person
recovers from whatever it is
that's preventing him or her
finom falling asleep. In the
real world, a correciible
cause for insomnia often
isn't found, and then a per-
son is faced with having to
stay on a sleeping pill or stay
awake for most of the night. 1
would choose option one, as
long as the sleeping pili isn't
causing any trouble, like
daytime sleepiness. From
time to time, it's in your
interest to try and stop the
pill. You might fmd that
sleep isn't as elusive as it was
when you started taking it.
Lunesta is one of the newer
sleeping pills, tolerated well
by most. It starts to work in
10 minutes, so it's useful for
those who find falling asleep
difficult, and it has extended
action to prevent waking in
the vcry-early-rooming
hours.
Lunesta has caused some
users to behave differently.
A normally reserved person
might become quite aggres-
sive. It also has caused a
very few to do things they
have no recollection of
doing. A vory small number
of people have driven a car
under the influence of
Lunesta and have not res-
ized that they did it. If a per-
son has such experiences,
then immediately stopping
the pill is common sense.
Have you tried nondrug
approaches to falling
asleep? Go to bed and wake
up at approximately the
same time every day. Relax
before bedtime. If you don't
fail asleep within 20 minutes
of lying down, get up and
read or listen to music. Keep
daytime naps to 20 minutes
or less. Don't use caffeine
within six hours of bedtime.
You can become depen-
dent on Lunesta. as you can
on most sleeping pills.
Dependence means it's hard
to stop the medicine. Gradu-
ally tapering the dose can
usually allow people to
break any dependence. I
believe that sleeplessness is
worse than the prospect of
dependence.
Fibromyalgia is a common
cause of insomnia. The
booklet on this ailment
explains it and its treatment.

HOLDING PENALTY
A recent finding showing
that excessive use of denture
cream has been linked with
nerve damage gives patients
with dentures even more
reason to visit the dentist for
readjustments. The study in-
volved denture wearers who
developed neurological prob-
lems. All were found to have
abnormally high levels of zinc
in their blood (accompanied
by abnomially low levels of
copper). A balance of zinc
and copper in the body is es-
sential for neurological health.
Absorbing too much of either
of these trace metals can lead
to depletion of the other. As it
turned out, denture aeam con-
isans zinc, and the patients had
used excessive amounts of it
- two tubes per week instead
of the recommerxJed one
tube every three to ten we^s.
We urge people using large
amounts of denture cream
due to ill-fitting dentures to
seek professional care. At our
offrce you will be treated by
oral health care profession-
als who have the experience
and knowledge you can trust.
If you're looking for a family
dentist at this time, please call

touch" philosophy is reflected
throughout our practice in
many ways. We're located at

Healthy Holiday Travel Tips
By Dr. NATHANIEL BROWN
of Milton Hospital
The holiday season is a
time to reunite with family
and friends.
Unfortunately, it is also
cold and flu season and the
more you travel, the higher
your chances are of getting
sick.
Thankfully, by follow-
ing a few easy steps before,
diuing and after traveling, a
healthy and happy holiday
season will be in store for
you.
G^t your flu shot
One contunon ques-
tion I receive from patients
is, "Do I really need a flu
shot?" The answer is yes.
The flu vaccine can signifi-
cantly reduce your chances
of catching the flu, particu-
larly for pregnant women
and the elderly since the af-
fects of the flu are more se-
vere for them. Also, keep in
mind that it takes about two
weeks for the vaccine to be
effective, so plan ahead.
Wash your hands
Airports, train stations
and rest stops all have one
thing in conmion ~ germs.
While we have all heard
this advice from mom since
we were young, washing
your hands is still the best
protection against catching
a cold. The proper way to
wash your hands is by us-
ing warm water with plenty
of soap. Be sure to thor-
oughly clean yoiu- hands
for 20 seconds and always
rewash after making contact
with another person or com-
monly touched items, such
as doorknobs. It is a good
idea to pack hand sanitizer
Dr. NATHANIEL BROWN
for when you don't have ac-
cess to soap and water.
Plan ahead
Preparation is also a key
when traveling. Getting a
good night sleep helps to
reduce stress, which is quite
common during the holiday
season. Traveling, shopping
in crowded malls, and pre-
paring large family meals
can take a mental toll on all
of us. Constant stress and
anxiety can also weaken the
immune system. To avoid
stressfiil situations, plan out
your trip and give yourself
enough time to get to the air-
port, as security lines will be
long. Take into account that
there will likely be traffic,
and plan the best route for
your trip, while considering
all obstacles along the way.
If possible, reserve time
each day to exercise, wheth-
er it's a quick jog or taking
advantage of a hotel fitness
center. Exercising is an ex-
cellent way to relieve your
body and mind of stress.
Pack the essentials
Before you leave for a
holiday getaway, it is impor-
tant to make sure you pack
a few essential items. Most
importantly, bring plenty
of water to ensure you stay
properly hydrated through-
out your travel time. If you
are going to be in the car
for extended period of time,
pack nonperishable foods
such as granola bars and if
you are traveling with chil-
dren, pack plenty of healthy
snacks. It will also be a good
idea to take along some
books and games to keep
them entertained during a
long trip.
Prepare your
prescriptions
Besides packing all of
your necessary medications,
make a list of your prescrip-
tions with the recommended
doses and include your doc-
tor's and pharmacy's contact
information as well. Hav-
ing this information readily
available will make it much
easier to refill medication
if you lose it or run out. If
you use rescue medications
such as an inhaler, insulin
or an EpiPen for allergies,
make sure you have an ad-
equate amount to last you
the duration of your trip. To
save time at airport security,
make sure you label all of
your medication, especially
if you keep them in your
carry-on bags.
Take your vitamins
Multi-vitamins play an
important role in fending off
seasonal illness. People who
take a daily multi-vitamin
have a reduced risk of get-
ting sick, so be sure to pack
enough so you can take one
per day. The vitamins will
help you get the important
nutrients that roadside res-
taurants don't always pro-
vide. Unless prescribed by
yoiu- doctor, mega-doses of
individual vitamins, such as
vitamin C and E, are not rec-
ommended and could cause
more harm than good.
'Dike a walk
When you're in the car,
be sure to take breaks to
avoid fatigue and stretch
your legs. It is especially
important to stretch your
legs on a long flight too, as
it prevents dangerous blood
clots from forming. Certain
people have a higher risk
of getting a blood clot such
as pregnant women, smok-
ers, women on birth control
pills or people who have
had a history of deep venous
thromboses. If you have any
of these conditions, it is best
to consult your doctor be-
fore taking a long flight.
IVaveling Overseas
If you are traveling
abroad, it is important to
visit yoiu- doctor ahead of
time to make sure you're
healthy enough to travel
overseas. In addition. The
Center for Disease Control
and Prevention has an infor-
mative website with details
on proper vaccinations for
traveling abroad. It is rec-
ommended that internation-
al travelers visit this website
and review its lists -of rec-
ommended vaccinations for
individual countries.
However you plan on
traveling this holiday sea-
son, make sure to plan
ahead, practice healthy hab-
its and remember the golden
rule . . . .wash your hands !
And, if you have any serious
medical conditions, be sure
to talk to your doctor before
hitting the road to ensure a
happy and healthy holiday
season.
Nonathletes Get Sports Injuries, Too
(NAPS) - You may never
have stepped on a basketball
court or taken a morning
jog, but you can still wind
up with the same kind of in-
juries many of your athletic
neighbors get.
These can include painful
musculoskeletal conditions
such as back pain. You can
experience this type of con-
dition as a result of mowing
the lawn, raking leaves or
playing with your children.
According to Michelle
Look, M.D., a board-cer-
tified practitioner with the
San Diego Sports Medicine
& Family Health Center,
back pain is the fifth-lead-
ing reason patients visit
their physicians and 15-20
percent of Americans have
painful back conditions.
Twenty years ago, the fo-
cal point of therapy was to
treat an acute musculoskele-
tal back pain condition with
bed rest. Dr. Lx)ok points
out that the goal of today's
therapeutic approach is to
get patients to resume their
daily activity as quickly as
possible.
For many of her pa-
tients. Dr. Lx)ok prescribes
SOMA® (carisoprodol) 250
mg tablets to relieve pain-
ful muscle spasms. Patients
have had positive experi-
ences with SOMA® 250
mg because it helps them
recover fi-om acute, painful
musculoskeletal conditions
and is well tolerated.
"We see many people
who, in their everyday rou-
tine, simple overdo it or
suddenly encounter an un-
expected muscle spasm or
strain. Of course this never
happens at a good time be-
cause we all lead very busy
lives," says Dr. Lx)ok. "So
we believe getting to your
doctor right away, seeking
early treatment and continu-
ing exercise are critical as-
pects of recovery."
To learn more, speak
with your health care pro-
vider or visit www.sandi-
egosportsmed .com .
More information about
SOMA® 205 mg is avail-
able on the web site www.

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Keep your feelings to
yourself as you work
through an awkward circum-
stance. Complaining is use-
less, and also unwise since
your words could come back
to haunt you.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) A sudden flash of Bovine
practicality shows you how
you might be able to turn
your artistic pursuits into a
profitable venture. A spouse
or partner offers some sage
advice.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Be prepared with several
"Plan Bs" that you might
have to use as backups just in
case you encounter some
troublesome complications
with your carefully con-
structed schedule.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) You might think you'll
never have a free moment
again with the demands of
the workplace piling on.
Cheer up. The pressure eases
as holiday time nears. An old
friend brings good news.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) Your Leonine pride
might make it difficult to
offer an apology to a co-
worker you unintentionally
offended. But a quick and
sincere "I'm .sorry" could
prevent problems down the
line.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) This is a good
time to tackle those backed-
up chores that have kept you
from moving into other and
potentially more worthwhile
projects. A personal matter
needs your attention.
LIBRA (September 23 to

could be deceiving this
week. Check the facts before
you act.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Before you
point fingers at who might
be to blame for the unexpect-
ed change in your plans, take
a few moments to reflect on
how this turn of events might
be a blessing in disguise.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem
ber 22 to December 21 ) You
seek out advice in the first
part of the week. But be care-
ful not to let counsel from
others overshadow your own
sense of perception. Things
become clearer by the
week's end.
CAPRICORN (December

colleagues you relied on ear-
lier continue to offer support
with your project. But you
take more control, and by the
week's end, you should be in
full command.
AQUARIUS (January 20

practical side while explor-

Caution is still your watch-

turn by the week's end.

fusing situation appears to
grow murkier during the first

end. Plan to spend the week-
end with someone special.

inspires others to follow
your example. You could be

Influence is a very powo^ pos-
session. Whether we realize it or not,
all of us influence children in me way
or another. The manner in which we
influence tbem oftm eqilains thdr
behavior. For example, children who
encounter excessive criticism invari-
aMy are quick to coDdemn in later life.
Children we see and sense reasonable tolerance learn to be
patient. Ridicule often results in shyness. Encouragnueat
exudes confidmce. Praise develops f^jpredation.
These and othN* causes and eCTects indicate the need for
constant tfaoi^t in how influence is exoted by paraits,
teachers and friends; in fiwt, by aO who cmtact childrm in
any way. Influence in action is louder than any voice. Yes,
all of us carry the wdght of influence whether we like it or
not...
When we think (rfit, doesn't common sense dictate the
use of discretion in behaviw and expression - to influence
properly? Could this be the failure that causes disorder,
disreq)ect,cwifusion and weird behavior seen toofrflm these
days? . . .

Hearing On Tax Rate
Continues Dec. 15
City Council will con-
tinue a public hearing on the
2009 tax levy at their meet-
ing Monday in City Hall.
In preliminary discus-
sions held Dec. 1, council-
lors reviewed data which
indicated that next year's
tax rate would increase from
$10.83 to $12.75 per $1000
for single family homes ef-
fective Jan. 1.
Under the same propos-
al, the commercial tax rate
would increase from $22.22
to $26.23.
Councillors must vote
each year on the tax levy
for each real estate classi-
fication. Their vote is for-
warded to the Department of
Revenue which sets the final
tax rate.
The new rate will be in
effect with the January bill-
ing. Real estate assessments
are available on line.

Expects Big Drop In State Aid
Koch To Slash
$2 MiUion From
City Budget
By LAURA GRIFHN
Mayor Thomas Koch
announced Tuesday that
he will cut $2 million from
the city's current budget as
planning begins for much
larger cuts in the next fiscal
year.
Since presenting his first
budget of $233.9 million in
May, Koch has now agreed
to a total of $5 million in
spending cuts after discus-
sions with city councillors,
department heads and union
representatives.
"I heard loud and clear
more cuts ought to be
made," Koch said at a press
conference Tuesday, adding,
"We know people are strug-
gling with this economy."
"We must make difficult
decisions now because all
signs point to even more
difficult decisions in com-
ing months," said Koch who

Reassigns Flat-Screen TV
Mayor To Cover
Full Cost Of Rug
Mayor Thomas Koch said
Tuesday that his campaign
funds will cover the full cost
for his new office carpeting
and he will send the new 47-
inch office television to the
new senior center in North
Quincy.
The mayor acted in re-
sponse to critical media
reports detailing a total of
$60,000 spent on City Hall
renovations in the past year
while the economy sinks and
single family homeowners
face an increase of $500 in
taxes this year.
Originally, Koch had paid
half the $19,000 cost of the
new blue and gold wool car-
peting with campaign funds.
On Tuesday, he announced
that his campaign will pay
the full cost.
Koch said that he is fully
aware of people struggling
in this economy and noted
that he raised over $75,000
for fuel assistance through a
summer golf tournament.
As for the flat screen tele-
vision. Koch said that it has
become a distracting issue
and will be sent to the new
Senior Center scheduled to
open in the spring.
Koch, also, said the tele-
vision was paid for through
the Comcast technology
fund, not real estate taxes
and was used for presenta-
tions, to access city ^pro-
grams, and for projects.

Opponents, Proponents Speak Out
Asian Supermarket Hearing Continued Jan. 20
BY LAURA GRIFFIN
Quincy's Asian commu-
nity wants a supermarket all
their own, while their neigh-
bors fear the chosen site will
exacerbate the dangers of
Hancock Street which is al-
ready in constant gridlock.
City councillors heard
from both sides last week
as they continued their pub-
lic hearing on a proposal
by C Mart Supermarket II,
Inc. for a new Asian spe-
cialty supermarket at former
Boston Gear property in
North Quincy.
The meeting drew some
400 persons to North Quincy
High School auditorium
where the Asian community
enthusiastically supported
the proposal and outnum-
bered opponents by a 3-1
margin.
However, the roughly 60
speakers were evenly split
between the two sides.
Proponents of the Asian
supermarket described the
economic benefits to the su-
permarket as well as the ben-
efits for their 80 and 90-year
old mothers and grandmoth-
ers who now spend tiours
travelling by T to Boston for
the foods they love.
Opponents of the market
location describe the dan-
gers of walking and driving
in an area already burdened
by a supermarket, bank, and
post office in close proxim-
ity and already dangerous
for the students at the four
local schools.
City Council, acting as
Special Permit Granting
Authority, must approve the
plan which originally fea-
tured a 23,000 sq. ft super-
market, food court and res-
taurant at 10 Hayward St.
However, attorney Chris
Harrington who represents
C Mart announced that the
company was willing to
withdraw its request for a
restaurant and food court
which will lessen traffic in
the area.
After the three hour ses-
sion. Council president Jay
Davis continued the hearing
to Tuesday, Jan. 20.
Among the speakers
was civic leader Victor Ng
who acknowledged that op-
ponents have some "valid
points." However, Ng called
the proposed Asian super-
market, "an opportunity for
more commerce" for the
city.
Both Ng and Gabriel
Cheong, an attorney, sug-
gested that the city can solve
the traffic problems and ef-
forts should be made to ". . .
explore all the possibilities
that make it work."
Opponents warned that
Holmes Avenue, Hayward
and Hancock Street can not
sustain additional traffic.
Tracy Chritello and other
speakers said safety must be
the first issue.
Traffic, they said, al-
ready endangers students in
the nearby schools, such as
North Quincy High School,
Sacred Heart School ,
Atlantic Middle Schools,
and the Parker School.
Business owners feared
that more congestion will
further erode their clientele
while supporters suggested
that the project will improve
the city's economy and tax

"Do we want the huge

and 201 submitted form
letters with personal notes
such as one from Kuo Tung

wrote:
"Having an Asian spe-
cialty grocery store is good
for diversity. It brings tax
revenues to the City o
Quincy and will create job
opportunities."
Hsia said many shoppers
will walk to the store.
However, a Holmes

44 Community Leaders
To Ring Bell For
Quincy Salvation Army
Forty-four community
leaders including Mayor
Thomas Koch will ring the
bell for the Salvation Army
for three days to help those
in need this holiday season.
They will man a kettle
outside City Hall on one-
hour shifts beginning this
Friday and again Thursday,
Dec. 18 and Friday, Dec.
19.
The economic crisis has
increased the need for help
this holiday season.
Majors Doug and Linda
Jones, co-commanders of
the Salvation Army's Quin-
cy Temple Corps, estab-
lished in 1895, said:
"The Salvation Army
here in Quincy has seen a 10
percent increase in requests
for Christmas assistance
over last year.
"We expect this trend
to continue over the winter
months as the economy con-
tinues to struggle."
They expressed their
gratitude to the community
leaders and to all the other
volunteers manning kettles
in other locations.
"We are extremely grate-
ful for the tremendous sup-
port we receive from so
many volunteers," they
said.
Volunteers are still need-
ed. Individuals and groups
who would like to help are
asked to contact the Sal-
vation Army, at 6 Baxter
Street, or by calling 617-
472-2345.
Koch, who will take his
turn at the kettle Dec. 19,
has proclaimed December
as "Salvation Army Month"
in Quincy.
In the proclamation he
said:
"1 urge all citizens, gov-
ernment agencies, public
and private institutions,
businesses and schools to
join in providing for those
less fortunate this holiday
season."

A Mayor's Race, Too?
Maybe things will improve enough in Koch's favor
to keep a challenger from the door.
The two announced candidates will spark voter in-
terest in Wards 1 and
KOCH
PHELAN
Next year's city election campaign is off to an early
start-perhaps the earliest ever.
The preliminary election is still a good nine months
away and the final 1 1 months.
But two city council challengers have already an-
nounced their candidacies; a third is seriously consid-
ering a ruh and a fourth reported to be thinking about
it.
The early start and present circumstances have trig-
gered speculation that there could also be a mayor's
race next year.
And that it might
be a rematch be-
tween incumbent
Tom Koch and for-
mer Mayor William
Pheian who he upset
in 2007.
A couple of
months ago there
was speculation that Pheian would run for a city coun-
cil at-large seat. But he said he had no such plans. That
if anything, he would be interested in the school com-
mittee.
He was in his second year on the School Commit-
tee in 2001 when he challenged six-term Mayor James
Sheets and defeated him by 17 votes in the closet may-
oral election in the city's history.
But would he run for mayor again?
Some observers think the stage may be now being
set to encourage a comeback bid by Pheian. Or for a
city councillor to step up. Or some surprise candidate.
They think the huge tax bill hike, and the economy
continuing to go sour could bring out a challenger next
year.
Don't bet right now on it being Pheian though. A
source very close to him doubts he will run. He says
Pheian is happy back practicing law with an office in
Quincy Square. And enjoying being home nights re-
laxing with the family.
You wonder, though, with the economy crisis ex-
pected to get worse before it gets better, why anyone
would even want to be mayor.
But, we'll see.

KELLY
4.
Margaret Lafor-
est, 33, is challeng-
ing veteran Leo Kel-
ly who has served 18
years in the Ward 1
seat.
Laforest, who has
campaigned for Kelly in the past, has high praise for
him but says:
"I feel it is time for a change. It is time to bring
young energy to the council."
She has already filed her campaign committee pa-
pers at City Hall.
There could be another challenger in that race. The
name of Martin Aikens, chairman of the Zoning Board
and a union member, is being frequently mentioned.
Atty. Brian Palmucci, 30. kicked off his campaign
for the Ward 4 coun-
cil seat this week.
In doing so, he
becomes Jay Davis'
first opponent. Davis
was elected without
opposition when the
seat was open and
has been re-elected
twice without an opponent.
Palmucci says he's running "to bring fresh ideas
and a new vision to the city council."
And he will make an issue of the controversial West
Quincy billboard.

he is considering a
city council run and

served our country with a

A prayer service was
held at the school to pay
tribute to veterans.
Principal, Sr. Catherine
Lee, spoke on the origins of
Veterans' Day. Eighth grade
students read from letters
they wrote to veterans who
lived in Quincy nursing
homes. All joined in singing
patriotic songs.
Students in grades 1-8
eagerly responded to an ar-
ticle printed in The Quincy
Sun. It was a request from
George Bouchard of Mor-
risette Legion Post for mail
in behalf of troops now serv-
ing in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Patricia Norton, a sec-
ond grade teacher, collected
over 150 cards and letters
and proudly presented the
students' work at the aimual
Veterans' Day parade.
"I was thrilled by the
response and am happy to
report that the many letters
and cards will be received
by our troops in time for
Christmas," Bouchard said.
The kindergarten and
after-school program also
joined in the effort. They
made patriotic cards and
sent them along to the VFW

A Life Preserver, Not An Anchor
In these hard economic
times, I find it unfathomable
that Mayor Koch is propos-
ing raising the current tax
rate by 15 per cent. Where
on earth does he expect the
average person to get this
extra $500-plus from? Many
of my family and friends are
facing a year fraught with
the possibility of job lay-
offs, no salary increases. No
bonuses, increases in health
care costs and increases
in transportation costs. Is
Mayor Koch trying to make
Quincy a city that no one
can afford to live in?
I also question why the
last minute nature to this
increase. Why isn't the tax
rate discussed when the city
budget is discussed? I un-
derstand that Mayor Koch
wants to "right our fiscal
ship" but perhaps he should
give though to all the city
residents he may be drown-
Criticizes Mayor's Spending
Recent articles in The
Boston Globe and The Pa-
triot Ledger exposed lavish
spending at our City Hall.
Oh great, so now Mayor
Tom Koch is at the trough
with my tax dollars. Mayor
Koch signed MassResis-
tance's anti-gay petition that
tried to put gay marriage to
a vote in Massachusetts. It's
not enough to know that my
mayor is unsupportive of
my fellow gay and lesbian
friends of Quincy and our
so-called "lifestyle," I now
have to work to pay for HIS
extravagant lifestyle. Beside
the new flat-screen TV for
his office, the 18K price tag
for a lush new wool carpet is
unbelievable.
My husband and I are
hard working, law-abiding,
tax-paying citizens and de-
serve equal rights and a re-
sponsible Mayor.
Mayor Koch wants to
vote on my marriage; I want
to vote on his lavish renova-
tions! Maybe I should run
for Mayor, but I am allergic
to wool. Oh, yeah, I am not
mg.
1 certainly hope when the
city councillors meet with
Mayor Koch they will speak
on behalf of their constitu-
ents who this year need to
be thrown a life preserver
not an anchor.

Councillor Stephen J. McGrath,
who chaired the special committee
that studied the condo conversion
problem, sad that the vacancy rule
was left out as part of a compromise
between the tenant and landlord factions on the committee.
"It was a concession by the tenants," he said. "In return,
the landlords made the concession of giving nine months

handicapped."
SNOW STORM COSTS CITY $60,000
The weekend storm that dropped upwards of a foot of

"In view of the money and manpower problems that the
Public Works Department has faced, 1 think they did an ex-

"But it might have been a better and less expensive if the

Ann Marie's Shrimp,
Rice, Veggie Combo
If you're tired of eating turkey and its
leftovers, today's recipe is a great alterna-
tive.
Over the weekend my daughter Ann Marie
made this great entree and it received raves
from all of us.
SHRIMP & RICE, VEGGIE COMBO
20 Shrimp (about a pound) deveined and
remove the tails.
2 packages rice pilaf (or cook two cups).
Brown rice goes well
2 medium sized zucchini
4 fresh plum tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil (or more if need-
ed)
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic
1 egg beaten
shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese
for topping
fresh scallions for topping either with the
cheese or an alternative.
Cook the rice according to directions. In
hot oil and garlic, saut6 the zucchini until
done and set aside.
Cut the plum tomatoes and saut6 also in
a little oil, salt and pepper to taste and set
aside. Don't overcook., they cook in a very
short time.
In the oil and butter, saut6 the shrimp and
add the beaten egg. Cook until shrimp and
egg are well blended and cooked. Now in a
large serving dish, add everything together
and sprinkle the top with the chopped scallions
or cheese or both. Happy cooking, I think
you will enjoy this as much as we did.

Five Principals Guests
At NQHS 1958 Class Reunion
By MARIE D'OLIMPIO
North Quincy High
School was built in early
1930's - and since then,
there have been six princi-
pals.
Five of them were invi-
tied to the 1958-50th class
reunion last October The
first principal was the late
James Collins.
The five principals are
Lou lanelli, Eileen Feeney,
Peter Chrisom, John Walsh
and Earl Metzler, the current
principal.
At the reunion in October,
one of those attending was
Dr. Allan Yacubian, a popu-
lar WoUaston dentist
Dr. Yacubian recalled
that when the class was
about to graduate,, one of
his classmates was missing
two points and would 've
been unable to graduate
with his class.
He said Principal John
Walsh, called the student
into his office and said, "I
can do either of two things;
I can either keep you back
or I can give you the two
points needed to graduate."
It ended that Walsh gave
the student the needed two
points to graduate.
At the 50th class reunion,
that same student went up to
Walsh and Walsh recogniz-
ing him said "How did I
do? The student answered,
"Well, I've been married
to the same woman for 47
years, and then proceeded
to tell Walsh how successful
his children were.
Walsh answered , "Sounds
like I made the right deci-
sion."

Thomas Crane Library On
Nation's Top 'Coolest' List
By LAURA GRIFFIN
The Thomas Crane
Pubhc Library won sixth
place honors as one on the
top ten public Hbraries in
the country, according to the
Internet's MSN City Guide.
But that's no news to
the library ranked in the are loyal and generous,
top third in a 2007 Internet McLaughlin, also, praised
poll of America's Favorite city officials for their sup-
Architecture conducted by
the American Institute of
Architects.
"This is a city that's al-
ways loved the library,"
Quincy patrons or Library McLaughlin said, noting
Director Ann McLaughlin just a few of the library's
who would bump the library special features, such as
in Quincy Center to first the strong support from the
place.
"We know we're cool,
but we weren't sure what the
criteria was," McLaughlin
said of MSN's recent list
of "America's 10 Coolest
Public Libraries."
McLaughlin said neither
she nor her staff was aware
of the nomination or the ci-
tation until after the news
broke on the web recently.
One of the Friends of the
Library nominated the li-
brary which was recognized
for its superb Romanesque
style by American architect

3 Arrested In Drug Bust
On Furnace Brook Parkway
Council Will Consider
Lowe's Proposal Dec. 15
By TOM HENSHAW
A tip from a concerned
loved one has apparently
brought down an accused
drug supplier and possibly
destroyed a Greater Boston,
perhaps even international,
narcotic distribution net-
work.
As a result of the tip, said
District Attorney William
Keating, close to $20,000
worth of methamphetamine
and $8,000 in cash were
seized and three men ar-
rested at 433 Furnace Brook
Parkway.
"This investigation start-
ed with a tip from the part-
ner of someone succumbing
to drug addiction, just tell-
ing us where to look to see
methamphetamine distribu-
tion on the South Shore," he
said.
"Anyone who is out
there feeling helpless as
they watch a loved one ruin
their lives with drugs should
know the tip they provide
could bring a supplier to
justice and possibly destroy
a distribution network."
Those arrested before
and after search warrants
were executed on apart-
ments at 433 Furnace Brook
Parkway and 19 Bakersfield
St., Dorchester, Friday night
and the charges against them
included;
Tam Le, 45, of 433
Furnace Brook Parkway,
possession with intent to sell
a Class B substance (crystal
meth) , di stri buti on of a CI ass
B substance (crystal meth)
and possession of a Class B
substance (Ecstasy).
Scott Cunningham, 44,
of 55 Harriet St., Quincy,
possession with intent to sell
a Class B substance (crystal
meth), possession of a Class
B substance (crystal meth),
possession of a Class B sub-
stance (Ecstasy) and failure
to use care in stopping.
Steven Beadles, 50, of
One Stoughton Street Place,
Dorchester, possession
with intent to sell a Class
B substance (Oxycontin)
and possession with intent
to sell a Class B substance
(Oxycondone).
Cunningham and Beadles
were released in their own
cognizance for confer-
ence Jan. 6 by Judge James
McGovem. Le was still in
court late Tuesday after-
noon.
"This (methamphet-
amine) is a drug more prev-
alent in other regions of the
coimtry but clearly being
distributed in this area as
well," said Keating.
"This is a drug produced
in clandestine labs and it
appears what was allegedly
being distributed here was
produced out of state and
likely outside the U.S."
KeatingsaidCunningham
was seen leaving the Furnace
Brook Parkway address and
was stopped for a motor ve-
hicle infraction. During the
stop, an ounce of metham-
phetamine and a quantity
of Ecstasy was found in his
belongings.
Search warrants were
executed and more than 50
grams of methamphetamine
and Ecstasy and U.S. cur-
rency were found. Tam Le
was arrested. Beadles ar-
rived during the search and
admitted having some oxy-
contin and oxycondone on
his person.
A quantity of marijuana
and more than $8,000 in
currency were found at the
Bakersfield Street address.
The raid, led by State
Trooper Sean Newman and
troopers from the District
Attorney's Drug Task Force,
also involved Quincy and
Boston police officers, the
Massachusetts State Police
K-9 Section, agents from
the Drug Enforcement
Agency Group 1 , U .S . Postal
Inspectors and State Police
from Attorney General
Martha Coakley's office.
City councillors will con-
sider a request for a Special
Permit for development of a
Lowe's Home Improvement
Center off Burgin Parkway
Monday, according to
City Council President Jay
Davis.
"I believe there will be
an agreement," Davis said,
adding that the city and the
developers have been work-
ing out issues for more than
a month in an effort "...to
reach a compromise."
Developers began plan-
ning for the center nearly
three years ago and have
since won state and city ap-
provals for zoning and park-
land changes.
The multi-million dol-
lar Lowe's project would
include a 124,000-sq. ft.
building with a 29,000 sq.ft.
garden center and 435 park-
ing spaces on 16.3 acres
with access from Burgin
Pkwy through a portion of
Penn Street that was recent-
ly relinquished by the city.
The City Council will
decide the issue acting as
Special Permit Granting
Authority (SPGA).
Davis pointed out that
the project will enhance
the city's growth which has
been stagnant. The develop-
er has also won considerable
support from labor unions.
However, several coun-
cillors have had a number
of issues with the proposal
during previous discussion,
such as sidewalks, roof
plantings and equipment
screening. .
Questions ranged from
the effect of the develop-
ment on Town Brook and
the number of trees in the
plan to a proposed 50-foot
sign atop a building.
One of the major hurdles
for the plan is the future
use of a lot at 400 Centre
St. which, also, has PUD or
Planned Unit Development
zoning and has been sepa-
rated from the overall plan.
Councillors fear its effect on
traffic in the area.
The Lowe's parcel in-
cludes the former Grasso
Memorial Park which will
be relocated and the lots
housing Aslanis Seafood,
Monadnock Water Co. and
four homes on Columbia
Street, all of which would
be demolished.
Davis said it's important
to get the project in place in
order to demolish the aban-
doned houses and buildings
on lots in the plan.

Local Homeless Board Honored
With Achievement Award
The Quincy and Wey-
mouth Board on Homeless-
ness was recently presented
with the 2008 Outstanding
HMIS Achievement Award
for Advanced Data Usage,
at the closing ceremony of
the national HMIS Confer-
ence in Atlanta, Georgia.
HMIS stands for Home-
less Management Informa-
tion Systems , which are used
as part of a national data
collection tool authorized
by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Devel-
opment. HMIS systems are
used by homeless assistance
agencies across the county
to gather data and to track
and project trends in home-
lessness.
"I am proud of the work
that has been accomplished
by our regional homeless
board," said Mayor Thomas
P. Koch. "This award serves
as recognition of the Board's
achievements toward end-
ing homelessness in Quincy
and Weymouth."
"By having such a com-
mitment to data, we have
been able to leverage more
resources and convert ex-
isting resources and apply
them more efficiently to-
ward the issue of ending
homelessness in our com-

and James R. Williams of
Quincy, recendy completed
12 weeks of basic training
at the Marine Corps Recruit
Depot at Parris Island, S.C.
muni ties," said John F. Yaz-
winski, president and CEO
of Father Bills & Main-
Spring, Inc.
"With the assistance of
the Leadership Council on
Homelessness, the data has
given us the reason why we
can't keep managing home-
lessness when it is more
cost-effective to fund solu-
tion-oriented approaches."
Yazwinski serves as
chairperson of the Quincy
and Weymouth Board on
Homelessness.
Matthew D. Simmonds
accepted the award on be-
half of the Board, after hav-
ing given a presentation at a
HUD sponsored Advanced
Data Users Group Meet-
ing that demonstrated how
housing can be a drastically
less expensive approach
than emergency shelter for
those that HUD considers as
"chronically homeless"
Simmonds is the Board's
HMIS guru and he is Presi-
dent of Simtech Solutions,
Inc., which is a technology
consultation firm based in
Canton.
"These are individuals
with disabilities that have
longer stay patterns then
the average shelter guest,"
said Simmonds. 'Twelve
women that met the defini-
tion of chronically home-
less were moved into hous-
ing with supportive services
and the end result has been
an improved overall quality
of life for the clients while
simultaneously saving over
eight thousand dollars a
year, per client, in housing
and medical cost savings
alone."
"This award is a nice rec-
ognition of why it important
to use statistics to measure
success," said Peter For-
man, president and CEO of
the South Shore Chamber
of Commerce. "But the real
news here is that there is a
human story behind each
number.
"The significance of this
award is recognizing how
the regional homeless board
and our local officials have
been able to help real peo-
ple."
Forman also serves as
executive chairman of the
Quincy Leadership Council
on Chronic Homelessness.
Since 1996, the Quincy
and Weymouth area, through
the Quincy Department of
Planning and Conununity
Development, has secured
over $14 million in home-
less assistance funding.

The campaign focuses
on those in need from all
Quincy neighborhoods.
Many families through-
out the city are hoping to
survive the holiday season.
Christmas gifts are low on
the priority list and instead,
basic necessities are desper-
ately needed.
With food pantries are at
critical levels, many work-
ing families are struggling
to make ends meet.

aring for Quincy
"During these difficult
economic times we need
to rally together as a team
and help our Quincy resi-
dents who are affected",
said Kathy Quigley, director
of Germantown Neighbor-
hood Center.
QCU's campaign offers
a few different ways to help
For stocking stuffers,
Hilliard's chocolate candy
bars are being sold for $2
each and in lieu of a Giv-

Center purchase items need-
ed the most for families.
"The Caring for Quincy
Campaign should inspire
us to help those less for-
tunate," said QCU Senior
Vice President of Marketing
Judy Brazil. "If everyone
who visited the credit union
purchased a $2 chocolate
bar, or donated their loose
change, we could certainly
make a few spirits bright
this holiday season.

Brazil added.

*Are You Okay' Rescues
Another Senior Citizen
An officer from Norfolk
County Sheriff Michael
Bellotti's office made the
routine daily phone call to a
%-year-old Quincy woman
at 10 a.m. last Saturday to
ask: "Are You OK?"
Usually she was. This
time she wasn't.
The woman had been
writing a letter at a table
around midnight and appar-
ently fell backward, break-
ing her arm and suffering
other injuries.
She had lain helpless on
the floor of her apartment at
1000 Southern Artery for 10
hours.
When she failed to re-
spond to the "Are You OK?"
call, the officer summoned
Quincy police who found
her unconscious on the floor.
She is now recuperating at
Quincy Medical Center.
"This is a classic exam-
ple of how a tragedy can be
averted," said Bellotti. "By
taking just a few moments
to check on this woman, we
were able to detect the prob-
lem.
"Thanks to the police.
who responded to our call
immediately, she was put
into an ambulance and sent
to the hospital."
Each day, "Are you OK?"
officers make calls to nearly
300 senior citizens who live
alone in Norfolk County.
The %-year-old Quincy
woman was the 56* to re-
ceive help since 2001 .

learning more about this

Vigilance Is Key During Holiday Season
I am writing once again
to instill a healthy sense of
vigilance in all of us as we
celebrate these holidays.
Room in our thoughts and
plans towards prevention
can help maintain an inci-
dent free season. So kindly
stop and take time for some
precaution in planning, dec-
orating and celebrating.
Here is why:
Christmas 2007 had the
second most fires of any
days during the last five
years within the Common-
wealth. Christmas Eve had
the most residential candle
fires of any day during the
year. Unattended cooking is
the leading cause of home
fires in the U.S. and ac-
counts for 55% of all holi-
day fires within Massachu-
setts. (SFMAVinter Holiday
Tips)
Residential fire is tragic,
but for the most part, avoid-
able. It is no more tragic
than when it occurs during
the holidays when, for most
of us, our energy and efforts
are focused away from rou-
tine, onto gatherings, deco-
rations and celebrations.
Time spent on precaution
during our efforts can elimi-
nate preventable, accidental
fire.
The simple key to fire
prevention within our
homes is to separate poten-
tial ignition sources from
combustibles. For instance,
this season, keep a one-
foot circle of safety frorti lit
candles giving ample free
space from combustibles.
Do not leave them unat-
tended either. Be vigilant in
disposing of smoking ma-
terials, making certain you
are convinced that ashes and
cigarettes are extinguished
prior to disposal. Feel con-
fident with any electrical
item used for decorations,
including lighting strips and
extension cords to minimize
overheating or short circuits.
Be attentive to you cooking
efforts.
December and January
are known in the Northeast
as the two busiest months
for residential fires. Inci-
dents centering on our holi-
day efforts are a contributing
factor for the increase, while
heating related incidents
contribute to the increase
as well. During 2006-2007,
24% of holiday fires in Mas-
sachusetts's homes alone,
were caused by heating ap-
pliances. Therefore, time

Spent on maintaining fixed
household heating systems
and safely using portable
electric space heaters, might
exclude you from inclusion
in the Fire Marshal's future
fire statistics. I hope so.
This article reiterates the
focus of previous articles on
holiday season fire safety
and heating appliance safe-
ty. It is my intention, that
repetition will further em-
phasize the need for precau-
tion during this time of year
specifically. Statistics indi-
cate that we are at a higher
risk of residential fire during
these next two months while
we can affect our potential
inclusion into future statis-
tics through sound preven-
tion efforts now.

his office carpeting, a secu-

carpeting throughout the
building, and a $600 chair
for the mayor.
Addressing Boston tele-
vision and print reporters,
Koch said that he wanted
to end the controversy and
would pay the total bill for
his office's $19,000 blue
and gold wool carpeting
with campaign funds.
While Koch used the
conference to announce new
cuts in his budget, he wel-
comed questions and com-
ments speaking formally to
his audience of media, de-
partment heads and union
officers.
The carpeting in City
Hall was ragged and dan-
gerous, according to Union
Leader E)ominic Venturelli
who said his members fre-
quently complained of
bumps and tears in the old
carpeting that was "mangy
and a public health hazard.'
'Thank you for making
it safer," said Venturelli who
described reports from his
members of "tripping over
tape" that held the carpeting
together.

The project must be ap-

The council has held two

The BSC Group, a Boston

On 67th Anniversary
'Day Of Infamy'
Remembered At
Memorial Service
Quincy veterans of all
wars got together Sunday,
Dec. 7, at the Morrisette
American Legion Post to
commemorate the 67"' anni-
versary of "a Date that Will
Live in Infamy."
The Rev. John Carl
Swanson. a Navy veteran
chaplain and pastor of the
Union Congregational
Church of Wollaston, was
the guest speaker at the spe-
cial service.
His was the message that
the Japanese surprise attack but it is a strong and proud
on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, country and in 1941 it grew
1941, stressed the need for
eternal vigilance and a duty
to honor the veterans who

Pastor Swanson also dis-
closed the little known fact
that the first attack on Pearl
Harbor was a simulated one,
parallels between Pearl
Harbor and 9/11, the Al
Qaeda attacks on the World

"Both have been named
dates that will live in in-
famy," he said. "Both were
a surprise to America. The
Japanese tried to warn us
and so did the leader of the
terrorists, Osama bin Laden,
but is both cases America
was not ready.
"America was hit hard by
both of these terrible events
stronger and it is growing
even stronger today.
"Japan had its reasons for
their attack and bin Laden
has his reasons for his at-
tack and they are different
in many ways.

How To Avoid Losing Your Home To Foreclosure
(ARA) - Over the past
year, we've been inundated
with daily headlines about
the growing foreclosure cri-
sis. Hundreds of thousands
of homeowners have lost
their homes to foreclosure,
with speculation among
housing industry experts
that an additional 1 million
may lose their homes within
the coming year.
Herculean efforts are
being made on the part of
federal and state govern-
ments, mortgage lenders
and nonprofit organizations
to prevent foreclosures,
culminating in the bailout
package recently passed by
THIS

Storm Door
Won't Latch
Tightly
Q.I'm having a prob-
• leni with my storm
aoor ncrf closing ail the
way. I tihinic the problem is
that the door is two steps
from the landing, and
everyone, induding
mjnKlf, has a tendency to
pull down on tiie handle
when we are standing on
the outside landing. I liave
tried WD 40 and also reset
the screws, but it continues
to stop as it hits the striker
and does not close com-
pletely. My concern is that
the wind will get a hold of
storm door and tear it up.
i^ease help. — Jack Z., via
e-mail
A.Tiy putting a shim (a
• thin piece of card-
board or wood trimmed to
the same size as the hinge)
behind the storm door's bot-
tom hinge and retighten the
screws; this may lift the door
the few centimeters it needs
to clear the striker.
You also should double-
check the striker itself. See if
it is loose, and if not, loosen
the plate to find out if you
can adjust its position sli^t-
ly so that the latch engages
completely.
The door closer is proba-
bly not the trouble in this
case, but double-check its
attachment points. The
screws may have pulled
loose over the years and the
closer's position may have
shifted just a Int, preventing
the door from closing fully.
If the closer needs to be rese-
cured, replace the old screws
with longer ones (about 2
1/2 inches) so the closer
attaches to the frame more
securely.
Finally, check the condi-
tion of the door itself,
including vinyl seals — they
should be tight around the
storm door, not bulging out.

What exacdy is a foreclo-
sure? According to the legal
experts at FindLaw.com, the
Web's most popular source
for legal information, fore-
closure is the legal process
that a lender, often a bank or
a mortgage company, uses
to recover a piece of real es-
tate property.
"When a homeowner
receives a notice of foreclo-
sure, it means the homeown-
er has failed to comply with
the terms of the mortgage,"
says Stephanie Rahlfs, an at-
torney editor with FindLaw.
com. "Essentially, the mort-
gage has gone into default,
and the lender has decided
to begin the legal process of
repossessing the property."
Even if a homeowner
receives a notice of foreclo-
sure, it's not too late. Con-
trary to what many people
may think, most mortgage
companies would prefer that
a homeowner continue to
pay their mortgage, because
that's where lenders make
their money - on the inter-
est and fees associated with
the mortgage process.
Because of the large
number of homeowners
who are facing foreclosure,
many mortgage companies
are willing to work with a
borrower to find a solution
that will allow a homeowner
to stay in his or her home. In
fact, there are a number of
alternatives to foreclosure.
A homeowner may qualify
for a special forl>earance,
in which the lender may
be able to arrange a repay-
ment plan based on a ho-
meowner's situation, or a
lender may temporarily or
permanently suspend or re-
duce the monthly payments
(by reducing the interest rate
on the home). Other fore-
closure alternatives include
mortgage modification and
a "deed-in-lieu" of foreclo-
sure.
Ignoring the problem
will only make things
worse. A foreclosure on a
person's credit history can
have devastating effects
- dramatically reducing a
person's ability to obtain
and use credit to purchase
many items and services.
Unfortunately, many hom-
eowners facing foreclosure
don't believe their lender
is willing to help. In a 2005
Freddie Mac/Roper study,
one in five homeowners
facing foreclosure didn't
contact their lender because
they didn't think their lender
would help them. The Ho-
meownership Preservation
Foundation (www.995hope.
org), says that the sooner
a homeowner picks up the
phone and calls their lender
or a U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Devel-
opment-certified counseling
agency for assistance, the
more options they have to
avoid foreclosure.
Here are some additional
tips offered by the legal ex-

perts at FindLaw.com for
homeowners who are be-
hind in paying their mort-
gage and are worried about
foreclosure.
* Pull out your mortgage
documents. Find and read
through your mortgage con-
tract. It spells out the terms
by which a homeowner
(Iwrrower) must repay their
lender. Many homeown-
ers, especially those with
adjustable rate mortgages,
are often surprised when
their mortgage payment
adjusts. The mortgage con-
tract, which the homeowner
signed to obtain the loan,
spells out all of the terms in
black and white.
* Don't ignore letters
from your lenders. Ch" phone
calls or e-mails, either. If
a homeowner is having
problems making their pay-
ments, they should call or
write to their lender's loss
mitigation department as
soon as possible and explain
their situation. The sooner
a homeowner contacts their
lender, the more options a
lender has in working with
the homeowner to avoid a
foreclosure. Be prepared
with financial information,
such as your monthly in-
come, monthly expenses
and debt. For example, if
your monthly income sud-
denly drops, due to a job
loss or to illness, the lender
may be able to make a tem-
porary adjustment to your
mortgage until your monthly
income increases again.
* Get counseling. If you
believe you may have trou-
ble paying your mortgage,
contact a HUD-certified
mortgage counseling ser-
vice, such as the Homeown-
ership Preservation Founda-
tion's Homeowner's HOPE
hotline at (888) 995-HOPE,
which offers free counseling
24 hours a day.
* Seek legal assistance.
Mortgage contracts can be
difficult to understand. It's
always wise to involve an
attorney, even if you don't
need an attorney present
when signing a mortgage in
the state you live. Likewise,
if you're behind in your
mortgage payments and be-
lieve foreclosure may be im-
minent, seek an attorney to
help represent your interests
in dealing with a mortgage
company.
* Take advantage of es-
crowing for property taxes.
Some homeowners choose
not to escrow for property
taxes and property insiu"-
ance. In other words, they
choose to pay these expens-
es separately instead of in-
corporating them into their
monthly mortgage payment.
What many homeowners
don't realize is that in many
states, the city, county and
state governments take pri-
ority over lenders in repos-
sessing a property if the
property taxes are not paid.
In this case, a homeowner
may be current on their
mortgage payment but still
be in danger of losing their
home if the property taxes
are not paid.
* Be prepared to move.
When a homeowner re-
ceives a notice, it does not
mean the homeowner needs
to move out immediately
from their home. But, it does
put a homeowner on notice
that the lender intends to
repossess the property by a
certain date. The foreclosure
process varies from state to
state. Some states allow a
lender to begin the foreclo-
sure process if a homeowner
is only one month behind in
their mortgage payments.
If there is no way to avoid
foreclosure, you will need to
seek a new residence.
* Beware of scams. Be-
cause a foreclosure filing is
a public record, anyone can
review that public docu-
ment, and that's often when
many homeowners are con-
tacted by scam artists who
offer the hope of taking
away a homeowner's prob-
lem. However, solutions
that seem too good to be
true often are. Never sign a
document you don't under-
stand.

Wrapping Up
2008
Here are some things to
think about as the year draws
to a close.
— Review your 2008
spending. Did you meet
early enough to be
received and
processed m advance
of Dec. 31.
— Pr<^)erty taxes: If
these are i^it into
two payments,
chances are ttiat one
is due this year and
one in 2009. Pay both
halves now and take the
deduction for 2008.
— If you make donations
to charity, be sure to get a
receipt and that it's clearly
dated.
— How is your bill organi-
zation and check-writing
working out? Do you need
your savings goals? Are
your mi.scellaneous expens- to devise a different way of
cs higher than you'd like? making sure bills gel paid on
The new year is a good time
to start again, with a clean
slate, on household budgets
and savings plans.
— Compare your credit-
card balances with a year
ago. Did you make signifi-
cant headway in getting
them whittled down or paid
off? Look closely at the
interest rates you're being
charged. Do you need to pay
off all but one card, one with
the lowest rate?
— Check interest rates on
CDs and money-market
deposit accounts at your
bank. (This is not the same
as a money- maiket fund,
which isn't insured by the
FDIC.) If your money is lan-
guishing in a simple savings
account, look for higher
returns elsewhere without
getting into the stock mar-
ket
— Is it is smart to make a
time, or for handling
receipts and cenis-off
coupons?
— If you have home-
improvement plans you did-
n't get to in the fall (and
don't have a houseful of rel-
atives for the holidays) con-
sider having the work done
now. Prices are likely to be
lower than at any other time
of the year. Oieck refer-
ences of any contractors (ask
if you can go look at the
work), get estimates and
have finish dates in writing
with financial penalties for
delays. Be sure the contract
states that payment will be
made in increments as the
work progresses.

Treating Frostbite
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
My father emigrated from
the Soviet Union after
World War II. As a young
man, he lost three fingers
to frostbite, but he didn't
like to talk about it. I live in
a region that has harsh
viinters and often wonder
about frostbite. How do
you treat it? — 0.5.
ANSWER: Frostbite is an
apt term, as ice crystals actu-
ally form in the tissues
where it happens. The crys-
tals do some of the damage,
as does a loss of water from
affected cells. However, the
greatest amount of damage
comes from the disruption
of Mood supply to the frozen
area.
Frostbite can happen any-
time the temperature is
below 32 F (0 C). It can hap-
pen at higher temperatures
when the wind is blowing
hard. Fingers, toes, hands,
feci, chin, nose and ears are
die most exposed parts of
the body, and they are the
ones most likely to be frost-
bitten.
Frostbitten skin should be
warmed in a water l^th with
a temperature between 99
the newly formed Quincy
Health, Beauty & Wellness
League (HBW League).
The HBW League is
spearheading a campaign to
promote health, beauty, and
wellness practices for the
and 102 F (37 to 39 Q.
Don't begin the rewarming
p)rocess if there 's a chance of
refreczing. which causes
greater damage than the fu'st
freeze.
With first-degree frostbite,
the skin turns red and swells,
and people complain that it
hurts. Rewarming the skin
brings about full recovery.
In second-degree frostbite,
the skin becomes white, and
people feel little pain. In
about 1 2 to 24 hours, blisters
appear and even three to 10
days after recovery, the
affected area still throbs and
aches but should be func-
tional.
In third-degree frostbite,
the entire depth of skin is
frozen and is black and dry.
This degree of frostbite gen-
erally indicates loss of the
skin and frozen tissues.

ACID DRINKS AND ENAMEL LOSS
Nationwide, dentists have not-
ed an increase in dental erosion
(tooth enamel loss), which has
now been confirmed by a recent
study. When researchefs exam-
ined 900 middle-school students
(age 10 to 14), they found that
nearty a third of them displayed
eroded tooth enamel. When
searching for possible causes,
researchers has to look no far-
ther than many of the popular soft
(Wnks, sports drinks, some fruit
drinks, and hert)al teas that many
of us consume. Some of these
beverages have sufficient add
oortent to strip teeth of their enam-
el, causing brtttteness arxl sensi-
tivity. It is the dentist's job to make
palienis avMve of this problem so
they can mfirfce the adjustment
necessary to prevent or stop it.

Last holiday season's
hysteria over the safety of
some of the toys made over-
seas lodged a big lump of
coal in many kids' stock-
ings.
Not only did concerns
over lead paint and other
quality control issues result
in a sleigh full of product
recalls, but it also prompted
Congress to take action. A
new law requires that manu-
facturers put in place more
stringent testing procedures
and reduce the levels of tox-
ic chemicals in their toys.
But the Grinchly news
this holiday is that many
of these stricter rules don't
go fully into effect until
2009. That means it still
falls to Moms and Dads to
stay vigilant about the safety
of the toys they are putting
under the tree or purchasing
for Hanukkah this year.
The good news is that,
according to toy safety ex-
perts, there are resources
available to parents -both
from the retailer or the man-
ufacturer - to help parents
determine just how safe the
toys on their kids' wish lists
are.
"Parents should not
hesitate to inquire about
the levels of lead in toys,
about the results of product
safety tests conducted by a
third party, or about whether
the retailer itself randomly
tests the toys," said Linda
DeRose Droubay, director of

ance at Virginia-based The

Magic Cabin®. 'This kind
of information should be
available on a retailers or
manufacturer's Web site.
Manufacturers and re-
tailers, now including well
known toy brands and big-
box retailers, have joined
longtime safety advocates
such as HearthSong and
Magic Cabin in instituting
a range of safeguards this
year.
Are your toys lead free?
The federal government
requires that products con-
tain no more than 600ppm
(parts per million) of lead,
with many states setting
the limit at 90ppm and
consumer groups pushing
for 40ppm. HearthSong re-
quires that all of our prod-
ucts are 100% non-toxic and
are well below the set limits,
many even as low as 5ppm.
Do you periodically
check your stock for safe-
ty, including for lead?
It's a good idea for re-
tailers to check the safety
of products themselves, not
just initial samples from the
factory, and random testing
is an excellent and effective
way to do so. HearthSong,
for example, regularly per-
forms tests (for lead, quality
and other safety elements)
on products both in house
and with third party labs to
ensure the integrity of the
product and verify that its
safety claims are legitimate.
Do you test your toys?
Make sure that a sam-
ple of every product being
sold, whether it be toys,
kits, clothing or furniture, is
tested to meet all applicable
regulations and standards.
Do your company tests
meet or exceed federal and
state requirements?
The federal government
sets certain baseline stan-
dards, with many states
imposing even stricter re-
quirements. Even so, many
companies (including
HearthSong) have made a
commitment to meet or ex-
ceed both state and federal
requirements.
Are companies and re-
tailers required to docu-
ment their safety proce-
dures?
No, but the more trans-
parent a company is about
its safety policies and pro-
cedures the more comfort-
able consumers should feel
about its products. Look for
policy statements or FAQ's
that give meaningful criteria
for safety and quality.

High School Winter
Sports Season Winding Up
By SEAN BRENNAN
The month of Decem-
ber brings with it not only
the cold weather and snow,
but also the start of the high
school winter sports season.
The conclusion of the
football, girls volleyball,
soccer, boys golf and cross
country seasons begins
the start of basketball, ice
hockey, wrestling and win-
ter track schedules, and for
the student/athletes at Quin-
cy and North Quincy High
School, another chance to
shine on the court, rink,
track or mat.
Last week and this week,
the Presidents and Red
Raiders have been in the
process of holding tryouts,
scrimmages and pre-season
games in preparation for the
beginning of the regular sea-
son, which for some teams
starts as early as the end of

A Job Well Done
LT.DANMINTON
On Wednesday, November 26, 2008, at approximate-
ly 3:10 A.M., Officers A J.
Carthas, James Menz, John
McGovem and Matt Hock-
ney were dispatched to the
area of 949 Hancock St. on
a report of two males enter-
ing vehicles.
Although the first two of-
ficers were dispatched to the
call, the additional Officers
joined in because there has
been a rash of car break-ins
during the past month.
Thecallerinformedthedis-
patcher that she witnessed the two males pull on the door of
hervehicleandthenenterabluecar,aredSUV,andsilverSUV.
Upon arrival. Officer Hockney observed three males sit-
ting inside a Lincoln Town Car so he informed the Dis-
patcher and was soon joined by Officer Carthas.
The officers removed the suspects from the car, then
separated them for questioning. Officer Hockney inter-
viewed suspect #1, who was seated in the driver's seat.
The second suspect, who was sitting in the front passenger
seat, was questioned by Officer Carthas and the third sus-
pect by Officer Menz. The suspects were searched and
placed in separate cruisers while attempts were made to
contact the owner of the vehicle.
During Officer Menz's search of suspect #3, he located
the following on the suspect: One Bank of America Check
which belonged to a resident of George Road in Quin-
cy, a AAA card, a Mastercard, an iPod, a thumb drive
and a cell phone, which belonged to a resident in a nearby
home on Hancock Street. The suspects did not have any
warrants.
Officer Hockney contacted the owner of the Lincoln
Town car that the three males were found sitting in. The
owner checked his car but nothing was missing, howev-
er, he did say that his floor mats from the 2 front seats
were now in the back seat. He confided that he keeps
a spare key to the ignition under the mat and that key was
now in the ignition. He also said that a backpack in the
back seat did not belong to him.
During the search of the backpack, a Garmin GPS was
found with its black leather carrying case.
When checking the GPS , the system had 949 Hancock St.
listed as its "Home." There was also a Sirius Satellite Ra-
dio, with its charger and remote control in the backpack.
The owner of the red vehicle that had been broken into came
out to meet with the Officers. He confirmed that someone
had been inside his vehicle as well but nothing was missing.
Officer Carthas located a silver SUV with its interior light
on. This vehicle's center console was open along with the
glove compartment. The owner could not be contacted at
the time, but the name matched the two cards found on sus-
pect #3.
The three suspects were placed under ar-
rest and transported to the station for booking.
Officer Carthas then interviewed the caller, who said that
she just happened to look out her window and noticed a
young black male checking the handle of her car. Her doors
were locked and she noticed the male moved on to the sil-
ver SUV. She noticed one male enter both driver's side
doors and also open the rear tailgate. After leaving this car,
she observed the suspect enter a red SUV, joined by a sec-
ond younger male. She then saw them enter the Lincoln
Town car and that is when the police arrived on scene.
At this time, Sergeant Patrick Buonaugorio went over to
George Road and contacted the owner of the Bank of Amer-
ica check. It was confirmed that his car had been entered
and the check was missing. Sergeant Buonaugorio also lo-
cated another vehicle on George Road that appeared to have
been entered. The center console and glove compartment
were open and items were thrown about the vehicle.
An attempt to contact the owner was unsuccessful but
a message was left. While Officer Carthas was filing his
report, the victim of one of the breaks came in to the sta-
tion and provided a description of items missing. He then
positively l.D.'d the Garmin GPS with leather case, Siri-
us satellite radio with charger and remote control . He was
also given his Mastercard and AAA card that had his name
directly on them.
During the search while being booked , Officer Benny Chin
located a set of headphones and charger, compatible with the
recovered IPod. These items were also found on suspect #3.
The fingerprints taken from suspect #3 were submitted for
identification and confirmation came back to a different name
than that given by the suspect. This suspect had an outstand-

ing warrant from the Boston Police E>epartment for being
a runaway /missing person, along with four "Failure to Ap-
pear" warrants issued out of Dorchester Juvenile Court.
These charges included Disorderly Conduct, Armed Rob-
bery and Assault and Battery on a Police Officer.
All three suspects were juveniles from Dorchester and they
were charged with "Breaking and Entering of a Motor Ve-
hicle, Receiving Stolen Property over $250." Suspect #3
was additionally charged with "Providing a False name to
Police Following Arrest."
Nice Work!
a
In many cases, property owners make two mistakes
that end up being cosdy. The first error is leaving the car
unlocked. Criminals often go from car to car tugging on
the handles and then entering the unlocked car. The sec-
ond error is leaving valuables inside the vehicle, usually in
plain view. This provides the element of opportunity for
the criminal. GPS units are very jwpular items taken from
vehicles. Often times, owners will remove the unit from
sight, but leave the suction cup visible, which often leads
to a break. Even leaving a large closed box or briefcase
visible inside the car entices criminals to enter the car to
see what valuables may be inside.
PAST BREAKS AND ATTEMPTS: Edwards Street,
Faxon Road, Riccuti Drive, North Quincy High School,
Hull Street, Willard Street, (100 and 800 blocks) Burgin

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Your Arian penchant for
impatience shows, as you
consider passing a problem-
prone project on to someone
else. Best advice: Stay with
it and work out those snarls
yourself.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) Even patient Bovines
can be frustrated when care-
fully made plans go awry.
But crank up that "stick-to-
it-ivity" you do so well, and
you'll soon find that your
schedule is back in sync.
GEMINI(May21 to June
20) Your aspect favors using
more resourceful means in
dealing with a workplace sit-
uation. Some discreet check-
ing around could help shed
light on the root cause of the
problem.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) You show an unusually
strong streak of stubborn-
ness in rejecting suggestions
from friends and/or family
members early in the week.
But you become more recep-
tive by the week's end.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) The Big Cat might find a
gentler approach more effec-
tive when dealing with those
who resist needed changes.
Remember, the word "per-
suasion" starts with the
sound "purr."
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) A disappoint-
ing experience with some-
one you felt you could trust
can be painful. But there just
might be more to this situa-
tion than you're aware of.
Press for an explanation.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) Changing your
views about something you
believe in isn't easy. But you
might reconsider as the facts

come in. Keep your mind
open, even if you're uneasy
about what you might learn.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) You might
have to do some serious
shifting of gears to get your
project back on track. But
cheer up. Your hard work
starts to produce some posi-
tive results by the week's
end.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21) An
unsettling mood at the start
of the week soon lifts and
gives way to a more positive
attitude as you find fun and
friendship beginning to
dominate your aspect.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) A delay in
firming up holiday plans
could work to your advan-
tage. Use this time to scout
out possibilities that might
be more in line with what
those close to you would
prefer.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 1 8) Some people
might question some of the
new friends you've wel-
comed into your life. But
your ability to see beyond
the obvious helps you recog-
nize how special they are.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) Financial matters
can be especially tricky this
week. It's best to follow a
conservative investment
path for now, and wait for a
more fortuitous lime to take
a bolder approach.
BORN THIS WEEK:
Your warmth, your humor
and your genuine concern
for others make you some-
one people love to keep close
to their lives.

Lombard, 90, of Quincy,
an active member of Union
Congregational Church in
WoUaston, were held Mon-
day at Union Congregational
Church, Rawson Road and
Beach Street, Wollaston.
Mrs. Lombard died Dec.
4 at the Norwell Knoll Nurs-
ing Home in Norwell.
A resident of Quincy for
nearly 60 years, she was an
active member of Union
Congregational Church of
Wollaston where she taught
Sunday school and served
on various ministry activi-
ties.
Mrs. Lombard was a
member of the Quincy His-
torical Society, proudly sa-
vored her Irish heritage, and
enthusiastically pursued her
extensive hobbies of sew-
ing, photography, crafts and
gardening.
She was bom in Hopkin-
ton, N.H., daughter of the
late Bertha May Dunn and
William Lee McMahon.
She graduated from the
Keene, N.H. High School,
and was inducted into the
National Honor Society.
Her interest and abilities
in athletic activities led to
positions on the women's
varsity basketball team and
that of the goalie on the
women's field hockey team.
Mrs. Lombard worked
as an office manager at the
Peerless Ins. Co. in Keene,
N.H., until she and her hus-

Wife of the late Leavitt

Are you a persistent person? Do
yon have that determination to keep
on going when things are tough; that
refusal to give in to discouragement?
It is a very important quality to pos-
SCOTT DEWARE sess. Without persistence nothing of
importance would ever get done.
'Teople of mediocre ability," Bernard Baruch once said,
"sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't
know enough to quit."
And one of the most famous *persisters,'Thomas Edison,
said, ''Seventy-five percent of the worM's failures wouldn't
have failed at all if they'd only kept at what they were
trying to do. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The
most certam way to succeed is always to try just one more
time."
Yes, the will to keep going ... the will to refuse to give
in ... the will to continue is very much to be admired. Be-
ing a 'persbter' can be hard work, but it can bring much
happiness and good feelings.

PMC Raises $35 million For
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
29 Quincy Residents Help
Raise Over $145,000
For Jimmy Fund
The Pan-Massachusetts
Challenge (PMC) raised a
record-breaking $35 mil-
lion for cancer research and
treatment at Dana-Farber
Cancer Institute through its
August cycling event-$2
million more than the orga-
nization raised last year. The
total sum is more than twice
the amount ever raised for
charity by any other athletic
fundraising event. It was the
single largest contribution
made to the Jimmy Fund.
And Quincy was a ma-
jor part of this fundraising
cause, as 29 Quincy resi-
dents collected more than
$145,000 out of the $35 mil-
lion raised.
The 29 residents who
participated in the 2008
PMC included Jose Alvarez,
Meghan Broden, Scott Coo-
per, Matt Dunn, Robin Fran-
ceschini, Patricia Fraser,
Domenic Giammarco, Kev-
in Gillespie, Thomas Her-
lihy, Daniel Herman, Eric

PMC is known today as the
"gold standard" of athletic
fundraising events, due to
the unprecedented sums it
raises and its consistently ef-
ficient charity pass-through
rate.
In 2008, the PMC attract-
ed 5,232 cycling fundrais-
ers, about 300 more than in
2007. Riders came to Mas-
sachusetts from 36 states
and eight countries. Each
cyclist was required to raise
between $1300 and $4,000
to participate, depending on
the chosen route.
Since its inception in
1980, the PMC has raised
nearly $240 million for the
Jimmy Fund.
"That the PMC exceeded
its fundraising goal in this
very troubling economy is
a tribute to PNCers' com-
mitment to raising money
for cancer research and
care," said Billy Starr, PMC
founder and executive di-
rector. "It also shows that

troleum.

Sokolff, director of sales

of Quincy Council on Ag-
ing, Thomas Clasby, direc-
tor.

tax levies.
Under the previous bud-
get, taxes on the average
single family home were ex-
pected to increase by $582.
Koch's new budget cuts
would reduce the increase
by approximately $48.
Koch said the new cuts
will leave some jobs un-
filled, and substantially cut
the overtime budget, but
attempt to maintain the cur-
rent level of core services.
"We remain focused on
two primary goals-righting
out fiscal ship and maintain-
ing the core services our res-
idents expect and deserve,"
said Koch.
"These cuts and any cuts
in the future will no doubt
affect those services, but
our administration is doing,
and will do, everything in
its power to protect those
services and weather this
cnsis.
Koch said he plans an ear-
ly meeting with the School
Committee Wednesday to
discuss reductions to that
budget, "We're going to
have to make some severe
cuts. We have to share the
burden."
"We continue to monitor
revenues. Our local receipts
are worsening in some ar-
eas," said Koch, noting, as
an example, that excise re-
ceipts are lower as people
keep older cars.
Koch also announced
that budget planning for the
fiscal year beginning in July
is now underway, several
months sooner than is tradi-
tional. He said that "every-
thing is on the table" when
it comes to potential cuts in
the fiscal year 2010 budget.
Mayor Koch met with
union leaders before making
the budget aimouncement
and said he will continue
working closely with city
department heads and labor
leaders as the city copes
with the economic crisis.
"I am confident we will
not only get through this
storm, but we will emerge
a stronger city." said Koch
who noted that there are no
new spending programs in
the budget.
Koch also highlighted re-
forms in the city's financial
management operations, a
cost-saving trash contract
and an agreement by the city
and unions to join the state's
health insurance program
that should save the city $4
million in Fiscal year 2010.
Koch announced the
budget cuts at a press con-
ference which drew major
Boston television and news
reporters eager for details of
recent spending to redeco-
rate the mayor's office.

nity, and we are open to any

The group met for the
first time last week, discuss-
ing ways to keep the busi-
ness community involved
in government, expansion
ideas, taxes, and marketing
Quincy to new businesses.
"We are lucky in Quincy
to have dedicated business
people who truly care about
the community and care
about the direction of the
city," Koch said. "I look for-
ward to working closely with
them and continuing our re-
^ lationships with groups such
s Quincy 2000, the Quincy
Business Association and
the South Shore Chamber of
Commerce."
BY LAURA GRIFFIN
City Council got a
wake-up call loud and clear
Monday as dozens of per-
sons packed council cham-
bers to protest this year's
hefty real estate tax hike.
The city will never be
the same, according to
Councillor John Keenan
who said, "From this day,
the paradigm has changed.
I think it has changed for-
ever."
The council approves
the municipal budget every
July and the citizen speak-
ers blamed the council for
not slashing the 2009 bud-
get last summer, for lack of
oversight on current expen-
ditures, and lack of long-
range plaiming.
"We don't hire you for

hindsight; we hire you for
foresight," one speaker told
the council.
Nineteen persons spoke
and many charged the coun-
cil failed to properly scru-
tinize the 2009 budget and
have abandoned oversight
of expenditures, while oth-
ers offered advice on finan-
cial plaiming or lamented
the dire effects of the tax
increase in this economic
tailspin.
Resident Carol Fischer of
Wollaston urged the coun-
cil not to approve the levy
Monday in order to give
residents time to adjust to
the increase and budget the
funds.
"You got the recap at 8
p.m. tonight," said Fischer,
adding that by voting,
"You're saying our voice
does not count. Say no to
this tax rate."
Kevin Burgoyne of
Wollaston who is self-em-
ployed cited "out of control
spending" and the audience
applauded numerous times
as he lashed out at Mayor
Thomas Koch's carpet, the
number of firemen on fire
trucks, and called the city's
free all-day kindergarten,
"very expensive daycare" at

Lowe's attorney, Ed Flem-
ing, oudined several modi-
fications to the original plan
as recommended by coun-
cillors at past hearings.
"Almost every single is-
sue the city has raised has
been addressed," said Flem-
ing as he described more
than a half dozen adjust-
ments to the original plans.
Reming^ also, said that
Lowe's would immediately
provide $300,000 toward a
mitigation fund for improve-
ments at the intersection of
Liberty, Water and Pleasant
Streets.
In addition, Fleming said
that Lowe's will eliminate
one of two fireestanding
signs in the original design
and upgrade the caliber of
trees in the landscape plan
from 23-inch diameter to
3.5 to 4-inch trunks.
Lowe's agreed to new
concrete sidewalks and rail-
ing as well as a Park Com-

Ward 5 City Councillor
Doug Gutro plans to in-

ethics ordinance to the City
Council in January.
"Recent reports of high
profile public officials across
the nation and within our
state who have daringly be-

people's confidence across
all levels of government,"
said Gutro. "While I firmly
believe that the overwhelm-

themselves in accordance
with the highest of ethical
standards, the reputation
of all government officials
and employees suffer at the
hands of a few who have
abused their positions."

Koch Blog On New Website
Mayor Thomas Koch has
launched a blog on his new
website, www.mayortQm-
koch.com. to open a new
line of dialogue with resi-
dents and to provide regular
updates on city issues.
"Conununicating di-
rectly with our residents is
one of the most important
parts of the job, and this
blog provides another way
for us to accomplish that
goal," Koch said. "I hope it
will keep residents informed
and eventually lead to more
people getting involved in
the community."
The website, which was
developed by LIDO Con-
sulting of Quincy and pro-
grammed by Joe Giggey of
Gig-It Technology, includes
the blog, a news section,
and the ability to signup for
e-mail from the mayor and
his team.
Since launching the site,
Koch has discussed city fi-
nances, a controversial zon-
ing proposal and other is-
sues on the blog.
No government funds
went into the creation or
operation of the site, which
was paid for by his cam-
paign committee.

Crisis Expected To Deepen
$2 MiUion Budget Cut
Only The 'First Step'
Mayor Thomas Koch
says that the $2 million in
mid-year budget cuts ap-
proved by the City Council
Monday marks a "first step"
toward tackling an econom-
ic crisis that is expected to
deepen in coming months.
Koch pointed to loom-
ing state aid cuts and a dire
picture for the upcoming fis-
cal year to suggest that the
city will be looking at "fun-
damental changes in how it
function" in coming months.
He added that planning for
the Fiscal Year 2010 budget
is already underway, much
earlier than in prior years.
"Everything is on the
table going forward, and we
know this is going to require
serious, difficult decisions,"
Koch said. "We are tak-
ing action now, as we have
throughout the last several
months, to protect the core
services of the city and right
our fiscal ship."
The additional budget
cuts approved by the City
Council bring total budget
reductions in the current fis-
cal year to $5 million. The
cuts include several unfilled
positions and expense re-
ductions in several city de-
partments.
In addition, Koch this
week directed all depart-
ment heads to restrict over-
time spending and cease
allowing employees to take
home city vehicles.
The cuts came as the
City Council finalized the
tax split between homeown-
ers and business owners,
and the state will now have
to certify the city's tax rate.
Koch first announced in the
spring that maintaining city
services and correcting a
series of problems would
require a substantial tax in-
crease this year.
"We are correcting these
issues now so we are not in
this position again," Koch
said. "If we allow these is-
sues to linger, the situation
will only worsen and the
path to stability becomes
that much more difficult."
He pointed to a series of
efforts over the last several
months to change the way
the city does business, in-
cluding the enrollment in
the state-run health insur-
ance program, which will
save taxpayers $4 million
in the fiscal year 2010. The
mayor also highlighted
reforms in the Water and
Sewer Department, a new
financial management sys-
tem, and the cost-saving
trash contract as examples
of collaborative efforts that
will ultimately save money
for taxpayers.
Koch told councillors he
hopes to continue working
with them as decisions are
made in coming months.
"1 know we will not only
get through this crisis, we
will emerge a stronger com-
munity," Koch said.

Residents may experi-
ence a loss of water pressure

lasting until about 6 a.m. the
following morning.
The MWRA asks all resi-
dents to restrict water use
from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. to es-
sential purposes only.
If discolored water does
occur, it will result from a
small amount of iron in the
pipes.
While safe for drinking,
cooking and other uses,
items will stain light colored
items in the laundry, espe-
cially when bleach is used.
Residents should check
water clarity before washing
any white or lighter colored
laundry during this period of
work.

any problems.

Scenes From Yesterday
THIS 1942 real photo postcard is a view of an Eastern
Mass Street Railway electric powered snowplow on Sea
Street in Houghs Neck. This view is facing east from the
curve at The Bit. Babcock Street is just out of view on
the left and Peterson Road is on the right. The Eastern
Mass used Russell snow sweepers and snowplows to
clear their electric trolley tracks until the 1940's when
they converted from trolleys to buses. They then used
big, powerful Walter snowplows to clear the routes. This
postcard was used as a Christmas greeting card; note
the lower left corner. Thanks to Bob Galligan, a true
Necker, for locating the scene. To contact Tom Galvin,

Illegally Parked Cars Should Be Ticketed
I applaud the Quincy City
Council's recent efforts to
raise new revenue through
the raising of fees and fines
in the City of Quincy. How-
ever, I would like to point
out that unless the Quincy
Police Department changes
their attitude towards issu-
ing parking tickets, much
of this new revenue will go
unrealized by the city.
As a longtime resident
of Quincy, I have witnessed
the issue of illegally parked
vehicles grow within the
city over many years. The
Quincy Police Department
has not been doing the job
they are sworn to uphold.
Recently, Police Chief
Keenan stated to me, "The

We need more transpar-

City Loses Interest
In Voting Machines
By FRANK McCAULEY
No apparent interest in the immediate purchase of voting
machines for Quincy was registered
by the city council after Mrs. Hattie
May Thomas, city clerk had given
the councillors facts she had ob-
tained about the gadgets during the
course of an investigation, which ^^^^^_^______
she had made at the request of the
council.
It would cost approximately $ 120,000 to place these ma-
chines in each of the city's 32 precinct-polling places, it was
estimated, as each machine costs $1300 and each polling
place would need three.
They are expensive to handle, store and maintain, the city
clerk said, and would eliminate only one election officer in
each precinct. They need a highly skilled person to keep in
working order, Mrs. Thomas noted.

more points along a fluid 70-mile battlefront.
Late field dispatches indicated the Americans were rid-
ing the German blow and putting up increasingly stiff resis-
tance as the initial shock of the attack passed. (Editor's note:
This military action between Dec. 17, 1944 and late January
1945 became known as "The Battle of the Bulge")

Quincy Art Students
Sample BU Programs
It wasn't exacdy hands
on but it was the next best
thing.
A group of Quincy High
School students who are
considering careers in art
attended the annual open
house at Boston University
on Halloween.
The students, shepherded
by instructors Rita Dinsmore
and Andy Bell, reviewed
portfolios, walked through
art galleries and toured
the studios of some 50
practicing artists.
"We could see where
they work and where they
spend most of their time,"
said Ali Hersey, a junior at
Quincy High, "the place
where the magic happens."
The students also
gathered information on the
programs offered by BU's
College of Fine Arts and its
abroad study programs were
discussed in a lecture.
It being Halloween, some
of the visitors from Quincy
dressed in spooky costumes,
which accentuated the lively
mood.
And they had lunch in the
BU cafeteria, which elicited
rave reviews such as:
"They had good bagels
and there was a Starbucks
there which was awesome."

The program's hands-on
curriculum combines core

Porter, MAc, LAc, re-
ceived a degree in business
management in 1991 from
Boston University and a

Eh*. Gary Gibbons and Ed
Browne, the CEO and vice
president of Quincy Medical
Center respectively, updated
the hospital's planned boiler
replacement project for 20
neighbors at a recent meet-
ing.
Once the new boiler is
completed, the existing
1954 steam boiler plant
will be shut down, eliminat-
ing neighborhood concerns
about the black smoke pe-
riodically emitted from the
150-foot smoke stack.
The new boiler will run
on natural gas with ultra low
diesel fuel as a backup en-
ergy supply.
As part of the project, the
medical center will construct
two small buildings to house
the new steam and hot water
boilers. New underground
storage tanks will hold the
backup diesel fuel.
Gibbons and Browne
committed QMC to:
• Ensure construction
work doesn't begin until 8
a.m. daily.
• Work toward improv-
ing the drainage adjacent to
homes on Colonial Drive.
• Improve a buffer be-
tween the hospital and adja-
cent yards to reduce improp-
er disposal of trash, syringes
and other articles neighbors
occasionally find in their
yards.
"I applaud Dr. Gibbons
and the leadership of Quincy
Medical Center for moving
forward on a project that is
important to both the hospi-
tal and the neighborhood,"
said Ward 5 City Councillor
Doug Gutro.
"I appreciate QMC's
willingness to listen to
neighborhood concerns and
modify their plans based on
those concerns."
Gutro and Ward 3
Councillor Kevin Coughlin
hosted the neighborhood
meeting.
"This initiative is one
more example of Quincy
Medical Center's proactive
approach, under Dr. Gibbons
stewardship, to partner with
the community for the bet-
terment of the collective
well-being," said Coughlin.
"The neighborhood en-
vironment and health will
benefit with this cleaner
burning technology and un-
wasted fiscal resources can
be better allocated to health
care costs."
Quincy Medical Center
has indicated its desire to get
the project off the ground in
the next three months.
Free Movie For Seniors
The Council on Aging
will show the movie of the

by West Coast Video at no
charge. Refreshments will
be provided. Call Ann at

Fleming said that the

that the property could not

by Ward 6 Councillor Brian
McNamee.
Keenan's motion failed

Council Rezones Former
Ledger Printing Site
City Council approved
the rezoning of 200 Crown
Colony from Industrial A to
Planned Unit Development
(PUD) as requested by the
Low Trust.
BJ's Wholesale Club
has considered locating an
outlet on the parcel which
previously housed the Patriot
Ledger printing plant.
Members of the build-
ing trades and ironwork-
ers unions were among
more a dozen speakers who
supported the project at
Monday's meeting, saying a
BJ.'s would bring employ-
ment to the city as well as
lower prices for purchases.
Christine Grundy of
Robinson Street said BJ.'s
will become another Big
Box store that may be ob-
solete," while others fear
additional traffic and worry
that a BJ.'s would diminish
The Planning Board re-
jected the original plan for a
BJ.'s on the site and this re-
zoning now allows the deci-
the business community at sion to be made by the City
Crown Colony. Council.

Koch Wants Crackdown
On Water Stealing
The word "scofflaw" was
invented in Quincy during
prohibition to shame illicit
drinkers into mending their
wicked, wicked ways. It
didn't work.
Now it's used to describe
those property owners who
illegally hook into the city's
water system and Mayor
Tom Koch is out to see that
the law does work.
The Koch administration
is pitching a revised city law
that sets penalties for resi-
dents found to be using the
system without a meter or
with a tampered meter.
The law has been pre-
sented to the City Council
and the amounts of the fines
will be determined as part of
the Council's deliberations.
"Our team has done great
work to date dramatically
changing the way the Water
and Sewer Department op-
erates," said Koch.
"This ordinance is a natu-
ral step toward ensuring that
property owners who use
city water are not doing so
on the backs of other rate-
payers, especially residen-
tial ratepayers."
An internal review
shortly after Koch took of-
fice found a system with lax
internal controls, unmetered
users, faulty billing systems
and a series of other issues.
The Water and Sewer
Department began a crack-
down on water scofflaws,
discovering a number of
illegal hookups and unme-
tered properties.
In addition to cracking
down on unmetered users,
the department has increased
collection rates, reformed
billing practices, resolved a
$3 million deficit and started
a new meter inspection pro-
gram.
The department also has
obtained grant money for
a video system that can in-
spect inside water and sewer
pipes.
Administration officials
said the practice of billing
water and sewer ratepayers
for costs associated with
the regular city budget was
dramatically curtailed this
. year.
More than $5 million in
"indirect costs" that were
issued on water and sewer
bills that ended up paying
for regular operations of the
Fire and Police Departments ,
for example, stopped this
year, they said.
And, oh, yes, the word
"scofflaw" was the prize-
winner in a contest spon-
sored by Delcevare King,
a wealthy Quincy banker
and ardent prohibitionist, in
1924.
Elks Addition Approved
City Council Monday
unanimously approved a
9,740 sq. ft addition to the
Elks facility at 254 Quarry
St.
The addition will in-
crease the size of the func-
tion room, from 200 to 285
seats, and allow the mem-
bers' quarters to move to the
upper level.
The Parking lot will also
be increased from 126 spac-
es to 219 and an additional
28 new trees will be added.
Both Ward 4 Councillor
Jay Davis and Ward 3
Councillor Kevin Coughlin
said that letters had been sent
out to the affected neighbors
and there has been no nega- tive response.

Fir0 Prevention Bwrmm
Always Keep Fire Prevention
In Mind During These Cold Months
Watching the news lately,
you see a sudden increase in
fires. As of this writing, all
have taken place in other
communities. Our preven-
tative efforts including our
attempts at educating the
public in fire safety educa-
tion has its limitations, in-
dividuals must still embrace
the message and act on it.
That's where our efforts are
limited, that's where we lose
control. You just hope our
prompting instills an aware-
ness of precaution and the
public acts on our recom-
mendations. Lately, it seems
that you have.
Over my 15 years in fire
prevention. I believe the
message has been well re-
ceived. Without specifically
quantifying success with
numbers, code enforcement
and education have had a
positive effect on the fre-
quency of fire within this
community. Lying back on
a record of success however
only invites disaster.
Our work continues,
as does yours. Our hope is
however, that over time, we
successfully instill a proac-
tive attitude in you; that fire
prevention is automatically
and naturally at the founda-
tion of your efforts both at
home and at the workplace.
That attitude pays off if em-
braced.
December and January in
the Northeast are the busi-
est residential fire months.
The heating season and the
holidays negatively impact
fire statistics, while I write
suggesting that those statis-
tics can be our impetus for
further vigilance in precau-
tion within our homes dur-
ing these months. It worked
last year and can again.
Where heating related in-
cidents are a major contribu-
tor to the increase in residen-
tial fire this time of year, has
your heating appliance been
maintained as required pre-
paring you for these colder
months? Is basement storage
a safe distance from those
heating appliances? With oil
burners for instance, we rec-
onunend that combustible
items be stored a minimum
five-feet from boilers. Casu-
ally discarded combustible
items like clothing or stor-
age boxes left too close to
heating units can ignite over
time.
Particularly during cold
spells when heating appli-
ances are operating more
frequently, these items are
particularly susceptible to
ignition. So please take the
time to reassess and exam-
ine your basement storage
practices and make certain
combustible storage is a
safe distance from heating
appliances. That effort will
do much to prevent one of
the more prevalent causes of
residential fire during these
next couple of months.
While we are on the sub-
ject, please refrain from us-
ing kitchen stoves as heating
appliances. I recall a fire a
few years ago that occurred
during a cold spell when a
stove ignited adjacent com-
bustibles within the kitchen.
That stove had been used as
a heater when that fire oc-
curred. Never place com-
bustibles on a stovetop or
use a stovetop for storage
of combustible items. While
in this instance, the decision
to use a kitchen stove as a
heater cost the individual
their home.
Here is an example of
how fire statistics evolve:
Let's use fire statistics
to our advantage and be
particularly mindful of the
more frequent causes of fire
during these colder months.
Our casual efforts in pre-
venting the most probable
causes of fire during these
months can go a long way in
assuring a safer home and a
safer winter. Thank you for
doing so.

PITTED KERATOLYSIS
Pitted keratolysis Is a skin lemsraning from skin conditnns
conditwn that affects tfie soles
of the feet and, less comnrwnly,
the palms of the hands. In these
areas, the conditk>n appears
as white patciies studded with
small, shalk>w pits in the skin.
These pits can sometimes join
together (coalesce) to form
larger, crater-like lesk>ns. These
manifestattons are due to the
superfkiial bacterial infectton
of the skin. The result is very
smelly feet. T?ie appearance
is more dramatk: when the
feet are wet. Pitted keratolysis
may occastonally be Itchy or
painful. This conditk>n can be
successfully treated with tropi-
cal antibntKS such as fusklc
acid cream, or with oral eryth-
romycin. K can quKkly recur
unless the feet are kept dry.
Most people suffer from some
kind of foot disorder at sonw
poW in their lives, from prob-
to bunions to nail problems to
bonedefomiities. Heredity, poor
foot care, injuries, and medical
conditnns are often the culprits,
but poorly fitting and/or inappro-
priate footwear can also cause
problems. Whatever conditk)n
your feet are in, we will treat
them with care and compassk)n
and restore comfort and ease
of movement. We will also rec-
ommend actnn you can take

Rev, Sheldon Bennett:
UN Rights Declaration
Links Freedom, Security
The United Nations
Universal Declaration
of Human Rights, which
passed its 60* anniversary
Dec. 10, is not just simply a
list of rights.
"It is more than a menu
from which a country can
choose only those it likes,"
said the Rev. Sheldon
Bennett. "It is to be read
as an organic and coherent
whole.
"It is only when taken as
a whole that the Declaration
can be said to be truly uni-
versal. It is through the link-
ing of individual freedoms
with social and economic
security that peace becomes
possible.
"This is the genius of the
Universal Declaration."
Bennett, pastor of the
United First Parish Church
and a member of the
Advisory Council of the
United Nations Association
of Greater Boston, was the
keynote speaker at the an-
niversary celebration of the
signing of the Declaration.
The hour and a half-long
program at the Thomas
Crane Public Library
also heard messages from
Navanethem Pillay, the
UN's High Commissioner
for Human Rights, and Rep.
William Delahunt, the US
Congressional appointee to
the UN.
Bennett acknowledged
that the Declaration "is not
a perfect instrument."
"It lacks the force of bind-
ing law and it yet lacks an
effective international order

to assure implementation of
these rights," he said.
"But this is not to under-
estimate its enduring power
and influence. Its power is
in its moral authority, which
derives from its universality.
Its power is in its ability to
shine as a bright light into
whatever the darkness of
the world situation. It power human rights is so long in

Balance a Forced-
Air Heating
System
Q«It doesn't seem to
• matter whether I
open or close the registers
in certain rooms — my
hrtHise is constantly too
cold in some spots and too
hot in others. The insula-
tion seems fine, and the
heater is working fine. I
change the filter every two
months. What else can I
check? — John P., Worces-
ter, Mass.
A, You may be able to
• further balance a
forced-air heating system if
dampers have been installed
within the delivery air ducts
le^ing to the registers.
Check along the air duct run
as far as possible to locate
air dampers. These are indi-
cated by a wing nut installed
directly in the duct that does
not seem to be joining any-
thing.
If this wing nut is perpen-
dicular to the duct (say, the
duct is horizontal but the
wing nut is oriented verti-
cal), the damper is closed,
restricting airflow. Use a
screwdriver or manually
turn the wing nut parallel to
the duct, thereby opening
the damper.
Try to locate as many of
these dampers as possible.
Worlcing with a partner who
is inside the living area of
the house, fmd out where
these ducts lead and if air
flows or stops flowing to dif-
ferent areas of the house
depending on whether the
damper is open or clo«d.
Then, label the damper.
Using a permanent marker,
write the duct's destination
(such as the living room or a
bedroom), and mark what
angles the wing nut should
be at when closed and when
open.
Using this method of open-
ing or closing dampers in the
air ducts, you can balance
the heating system a bit bet-
ter so that additional warm
air flows into colder areas of
the house and is diverted
from parts of the house that
are too hot.

Winter Wake Up For Your Basement
(ARA) - A few years ago
you finished your basement.
You put in all the hard work
to make it a perfect retreat
and lounge. But you haven't
done a thing with it since.
So often, people finish their
basements and then forget
about any upkeep.
Though the basement is
often viewed as a rugged
recreational room, it still de-
serves the same decorative
and functional attention as
the rest of the home; and the
winter months provide the
perfect opportunity to tackle
some of those projects.
These simple tips will
help renew and rejuvenate
your basement by making
it more usable, durable and
inviting for your family and
friends. Plus, each project is
affordable and won't require
excessive work to accom-
plish. Most can be complet-
ed in one weekend, or a few
evenings after work.
Paint in the Winter? Yes,
You Can
One of the best ways to
make your basement look
brand new is to repaint. A
fresh coat of paint will re-
energize the room and pro-
vide a whole new feel. And,
with newer paints having
very low VOC (volatile or-
ganic compound) content,

it's safe to paint even with
the windows closed.
Additionally, many of
today's low- VOC paints,
like Pratt & Lambert's Red-
Seal Porcelain, are also ex-
tremely durable, which is
essential in a basement. This
green-certified latex interior
paint is actually scrubbable.
Tiny porcelain beads in the
paint don't allow stains to
penetrate the wall surface,
making it simple to clean up.
So whether your 2-year-old
splashes his grape juice on
the wall, or a Sunday foot-
ball game ends in a celebra-
tion of flung nacho cheese,
wall cleanup will be quick
and easy.
Light it Up, or Down
Basement lighting can
be tricky. Trying to balance
the volume of light emitted
from fixtures ranging from a
single pull-chain bulb to ful-
ly-integrated recessed can-
ister lights is no easy task.
Simple dimmer switches are
one of the easiest ways to
make sure you can balance a
basement lighting scheme at
any point in the day.
Diirmier switches allow
for a multitude of lighting
options, whether you have
a windowless basement
that is completely lit by ar-
tificial lighting, or even if
you have a fully finished
walk-out basement with
large windows and sliding
glass doors. Dimmers can
be purchased at any hard-
ware store and are quickly

What's Under Foot
Generally, because base-
ment flooring is set on top of
concrete slabs, most people
opt for heavily padded car-
pet so they won't feel the
rigidity and hardness of the
slab. The problem, however,
is basement carpeting can
become very dirty, worn
and outdated rather quickly.
The good news is that even
if you already have carpet
installed, you can update the
flooring to a more modem,
sophisticated pattern rela-
tively simply and inexpen-
sively
Tarkett's FiberRoor re-
silient flooring offers what
homeowners desire most
in their basements: resis-
tance to water and moisture,
scratches, scuffs, stains and
indentations. And, it's easy
to clean - a basement must.
Resilient sheet flooring of-
fers an attractive option for
a high-end appearance with
the latest styles and patterns
in a wide array of colors,
designs and textures. Plus,
after tearing up the existing
carpet, all you need to do is
roll out the sub-floor pad-
ding and then lay the floor.
The Good Kind
Of Molding
Decorative architectural
elements such as baseboards
and crown molding can add
dramatic effects to a base-
ment, but many homeown-
ers are concerned that using
these molding pieces will
shrink the appearance of the
room. Though it is true that
most basements have lower
ceilings than the rest of the
home, some simple, thin,
crown molding creates a
very polished look in a base-
ment.
Accenting the crown
molding with color-matched
baseboards easily turns the
basement from a modest
recreational area to a cov-
eted destination area for
your family and guests.
Each of these basement
remodeling options is eas-
ily accomplished, no matter
how cold it might be out-
side. The basement is most
often a multi-use room,
and these simple projects
will certainly improve the
room's usability, quality and
appearance.

QUINCY POLICE OFFICERS Pat Folan (left) and Robert
Kelly.
A Job Well Done
A JOB WELL DONE . . On Saturday, Dec. 6, 2008,
at approximately 3:30 a.m., Officer Robert E. Kelly was
on Sea Street when a female
motorist pulled up next to
him. She appeared to be vis-
ibly shaken and said that a
man she didn't know walked
into her home and laid down
on her living room couch.
The victim stated that she
fled her home immediately
and was scared for her safety.
She said that she was enroute
to the police station to get
help when she saw the Of-
ficer. Officer Kelly informed
communications of the inci-
dent. Officer Patrick Folan
was dispatched to assist Officer Kelly at the Hough's
Neck address.
Upon arrival, the victim told the officers that her front
door was unlocked, so they went in while the victim wait-
ed safely outside. After observing a large male sleeping
on the couch. The officers attempted to wake the suspect
and after numerous tries, the suspect opened his eyes and
sat upright on the couch. The suspect appeared groggy
and intoxicated.
The officers told the suspect that he was in the wrong
home and after looking around, the suspect appeared to
understand this. The suspect was escorted out of the home
and out to the front yard. The suspect stayed with Of-
ficer Folan while Officer Kelly interviewed the victim to
gather additional information.
The victim said that she was sleeping in her bedroom
and heard her front door open. She stated that her son
lives on a boat and she believed that it might have been him
who entered the home. She opened her bedroom door
to confirm that it was her son, but instead found a very
large man walk into her living room. When she saw that
the suspect was not her son and was over six feet tall and
close to 300 pounds, she quickly made plans to get out
of her house and as soon as the suspect lied down on the
couch, she retrieved the keys to her vehicle and fled.
Officer Folan was questioning the suspect and all of a
sudden, the suspect attempted to walk back into the same
home. Officer Folan got in front of the suspect and in-
structed him to back away, but the suspect walked closer
and then pushed Officer Folan.
Officer Folan defended himself by pushing the suspect
away from him, creating distance for his personal safe-
ty. Officer Folan then ordered the suspect to stop where
he was. Officer Kelly went to assist Officer Folan and
place the suspect under arrest, but the suspect then threw
a closed fist punch with his right hand striking Officer Fo-
lan in the face. The strike knocked Officer Folan down to
one knee.
Officer Kelly used his mace and sfnayed the suspect,
who was then brought to the ground where he kicked
randomly but was soon after handcuffed. Officer Folan
was treated at Quincy Medical Center for facial injuries.
ITie suspect, a 19-year-old Quincy resident, was charged
with assault and battery on a police officer (pushing Offi-
cer Folan), aggravated assault and battery on a police offi-
cer (punching Officer Folan causing injury (chipped tooth) ,
burglary and knowingly resisting arrest." According to
Officer Folan, this was not the first time that the suspect
has walked into the wrong home looking for a place to
sleep.
Nice Work!
In this case, Lock Your Door! Just imagine how many
doors he may have tried before finding one open. No one
is more vulnerable than when they are asleep in the com-
fort of their own home. The feeling of comfort and secu-
rity within one's home may never feel the same once this
happens to you!
ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE . . also goes out to
Officers' Dave Zupkofska, Bill Mitchell, Bruce Trieu and
Michael Smith for their efforts in catching a suspect who
broke into an apartment in Germantown. The suspect, a
20-year-old Roxbury resident, with long ties to German-
town, is believed to have been involved in numerous past
breaks. Nice Woric!

JENNIFER DAVIS, president of the MA Recreation and Park
Association, presents the "Peter C. O'Brien Humanitarian
Award" to Quincy Recreation Director Barry J. Welch at the
24*^ Annual Conference held in Westport.
Barry Welch Receives
Humanitarian Award
The Massachusetts Rec-
reation and Park Association
(MRPA) recently presented
Barry J. Welch, Quincy 's
Recreation Director, with
the Association's "Peter
C. O'Brien Humanitarian
Award" at its 24* Annual
State Conference in West-
port, MA.
The O'Brien Award, the
highest honor bestowed
by the 500 members of the
MRPA, was established in
1980. Peter O'Brien was the
founder of the MRPA who
passed away at a young age
from cancer.
The award, which was
presented by MRPA Presi-
dent Jennifer Davis of the
Peabody Recreation Depart-
ment, is given to a member
who has rendered outstand-
ing service to the field of
recreation and provided pro-
fessional leadership to the
Association.
Davis, while presenting
the award to Welch, cited:
"Barry's tremendous ac-
complishments and dedica-
tion to the leisure service
profession while stating that
your fellow professionals
applaud your continued ef-
forts and commitment to the
ideals of public recreation."
Welch has been recre-
ation director for the City
of Quincy since 1982 and a
member of the MRPA since
the late 1960s. He currently
serves as a member of the
Executive Board, represent-
ing the South Shore region
of Massachusetts.

Two seasons removed
from an appearance in the
Division II South Sectional
post-season, the Quincy
Presidents main goal for
this year is to get back to
playing basketball when it
counts the most, which is in
the postseason.
Last year's team finished
the season with an 8-11
overall record, missing out
on a post-season berth by
two games. A late season run
to get back into the playoffs
was squelched after a 69-55
loss to North Quincy, but
this year's Presidents team,
though young and a little
inexperienced, is hungry to
rebound.
After years of playing in
the Atlantic Coast League
(ACL), Quincy will be play-
ing in the Patriot League this
winter. The Presidents have
been placed in the Patriot
League's Keenan Division
and will have to compete
against teams from Dux-
bury, Silver Lake, Scituate,
Hingham and Whitman-
Hanson High School.
The new league should
present new challenges,
but Quincy head coach Jeff
Bretsch is confident that this
year's team will be up to the
test.
"We have played some of
the teams from the Patriot
League over the years in
non-league games, but that
being said, it will be a very
competitive league. Teams
like Duxbury, Hingham,
Silver Lake, Scituate and
Whitman-Hanson all have
long traditions of good bas-
ketball.
"It will be a little differ-
ent playing in the league and
there will be an adjustment
period. The division we will
be playing in (the Keenan
Division) is one of the best
around and we are going
to have to play hard every
game in order to be success-
ful.
"One thing we are look-
ing forward to with the new
league is less travel. Those
long two-hour bus rides to
the Cape took a lot out of the
kids and with the schedule
we have this year it should
eliminate some of that extra
time traveling."
The Presidents, who last
year relied on a number of
seniors playing major min-
utes, will have to contend
with the loss of team veter-
ans Meghan Tobin, Mary-
beth Torpey, Julie Kisielius,
Elizabeth Bock, Krystin
Newsom and Kerri Ryan,
but with players such as
seniors Elisa Lam (guard),
Katie Chemicki (forward)
and Deanna Hutchins (for-
ward), juniors Leslie Camp-
bell (forward) and Collen
Tobin (forward) and sopho-
more Kori Sorensen (guard)
Quincy should be in good
shape moving forward this
season.
"We graduated four start-
ers of last year's team," add-
ed Bretsch. "With the loss of
players like Tobin, Torpey,
Bock, Kisielius, Newsom
and Ryan we are going to
be relying on some younger
players and kids who have
not played much at all at the
varsity level.
"But Campbell, who
finished last year on a nice
roll, is only going to get
better this year. I see her as
an emerging leader on the
court."
The Presidents will also
lean on players such as Ju-
lia Yee (guard), Becca Shea
(guard), Kylie Kozlwski
(forward), Olivia Berry
(center) and Juli Tomer (for-
ward).
"My team in going to be
young," said Bretsch. "So-
rensen and Berry should see
plenty of time on the court
and we are expecting good
things from both of them
and with Campbell emerg-
ing as a star we should be in
good shape.
"Most of these play-
ers are new to the team so
there will be a significant
transition. We will need to
play with heart and hustle
in every game in order to be
competitive. I see this team
as being one that will always
play hard and tough."
Campbell, Tobin and
Chemicki have been named
team captains.
The 2008-09 Presidents
may be wet behind the ears
but the future looks bright.
"We are young," said
Bretsch. "But I look at it like
an investment. We should
have most of these girls for
at least a couple of years
and playing in our system
it should pay off in the near
future.
"We also have the most
talented freshmen team at
Quincy in a longtime and our
future looks very bright."
Sarah Conlon and Chris-
tine Niosi will be coaching
the jayvee and freshmen
teams, respectively.
Quincy, which opened
its season Tuesday against
Scituate HS, will tip-off the
home schedule this Friday
against Duxbury HS (East
Gym, 6:30 p.m.); the Presi-
dents are scheduled to play
Silver Lake HS next Mon-
day at home (6:30 p.m,)-
Over the Christmas holi-
day, Quincy is scheduled to
play in the Dedham Christ-
mas Tournament on Dec.
29-30. The team will open
the New Year on Jan. 5 at
home against Whitman-
Hanson HS (6:30 p.m.).

Q-NQ Girls'
Indoor Track
Splits Opener
The Quincy-North Quin-
cy girls' winter track team
opened its season on Mon-
day at the Reggie Lewis
Track Center (Boston) with
a Patriot League tri-meet
against Rockland and Pem-
broke High Schools.
The combined Q-NQ
team split the two meets,
defeating Rockland, 60-40,
and losing to Pembroke, 79-
21.
Top scorers were Alyssa
Mullen in the two-mile and
mile, Erica Brady in the mile ,
Jess Davis in the 1000-me-
ters, Mary Schwartz in the
600-meters, Brianne Phelan
in the 300-meters and Erin
Collins in the shot put.
The 4 X 400 relay team of
Brady, Schwartz, Davis and
Julie Ross won over Rock-
land, as did the 4 x 200 relay
team of Christine Sorensen,
Mabel Setow, Phelan and
Krestina Habib.
Mullen (two-mile) and
Collins (shot put) have the
number two performances
in these two events in the
entire Patriot league. Phelan
in the 300-meters was run-
ning her first ever track race
after previously playing bas-
ketball for Quincy.
Other scorers included
Sorensen and Setow (300),
Megan Leahy (600), Julie
Doyle (1000), Ross (mile),
Rachel Kasanoff (two-mile),
Jenn Nhan (hurdles and long
jump), Ashley Bergonzi
(hurdles) and Sarah Minton
(shot put).
"We have lots of young
kids with a few experienced
athletes, so it is a good mix,"
said Q-NQ head coach Geoff
Hermessy. "The (Patriot)
league boasts Whitman-
Hanson (Class B champs
in XC), Hingham (Class C
champs in Indoor and Out-
door track) and Pembroke
(Class D champs outdoor),
so it is extremely competi-
tive. And every other team
has a few standouts."
Coaches Jim Finn, Kim
Delaney and John Fidalgo
assist Hennessy. Head boys
coach Peter Chrisom han-
dles the throwers.

Some Fibroids
Need No
Treatment
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I am 37, have two childreo
and also have ffbroida. My
periods are quite heavy.
My doctor says that
removal of tlie iitnnis is the
best way to end my prob-
lem. My husband and I
would like to have OHMne
children. What other
options do I have? — -P.S.
ANSWER: The utenis is a
lai^e, hollow muscle widi an
internal layer that grows
every nKMith in preparation
for the recepticm of a fertil-
ized egg. Fibroids are non-
cancerous growths of the
uteriiK muscle. They're com-
mon, and for most women
they cause few, if any, symp-
toms. Large fibroids can
compress the bladder and
provoke firequent urination.
Or they can press on the
colon and bring on constipa-
tion. They sonietimes reduce
the chances of pregnancy.
They can be responsible for
heavy menstrual bleeding.
Their cause hasn't been dis-
covered, but female hormones
must be involved in their
appearance, becau.se titey tend
to regress with menopause.
If they're not producing
symptoms, they can be
ignored. If they are kicking
up a fuss, hysterectomy —
removal of the uterus — is
one solution, but not the
only one. Options depend on
what the woman wants.
For a woman approaching
menopause, the medidne
Lupron is a good choice. It
suppresses estrogen produc-
tion, whidi shrunJcs i^brcnds.
Since this has a time limit on
use, women who will soon
be menopausal are die ones
who can talie advantage of it
Danazol (a syntfietic male
honnone), biidi-omtrol pills
and Depo-Provera control
excessive menstrual bleed-
ing due to fibroids.
Sometimes doctors can
remove a fibroid widi a
scc^ that enters the utenis
through the vagina without
any external cutting.
Uterine artery emboliza-
tion is a procedure where die
doctor threads a soft tube (a
catheter) to the artery feed-
ing the fibroid. When the
right position is reached, the
doctor releases particles that
obstruct the artery and cut
off blood suj^ly to the
fibroid. It falls off.
MRgFUS, magnetic reso-
nance-guided focused ultra-
sound, is a new technique
employing sound waves to
heat the fibroid and shrink it
It can interfere with subse-
quent pregnancies, however.

detail. To orcter a copy, write:

ORAL SEDATION DENTISTRY
Although Oral Sedation dentistry
has becon\e much better krwwn in
recent years, it has actually been an
effective and safe method for alle-
viating in nervous patients for quite
a long time. In fact, we have been
providing this same option to our
anxious patients for over 30 years!
Oral Sedation, as it is called
today is simply taking a prescrip-
tion medication before a dental
appointment to provide a relaxing
and anxiety-free experience. The
medications used create such a
comfortable experience that most
patients do not remember the visit;
it is as if tfiey slept through the
treatment. In reality, oral sedation
dentistry maintains a level of con-
sctoi^ness in the patient for safety
and cooperation. It is one of several
Dental Sedation alternatives avail-
able to patients who exper1erx» a
common apprehension called "den-
tal phobia." Others are inhalation
sedation, involving nitrous oxide,
or laughing gas" ae it is commonly
cated, and gener^ anesthesia,
which literally does altow patients
to "sleep" through their procedure.
You should consult with a quali-
fied sedation dentist to determine
which technique is right for you. It
could be detemiined by your level of
anxiety or the dental procedure you
need. That is v\rtiy it is good to ask
how many different sedation proce-
dures a dentist is licensed to per-
fonn. It is also important to ask about
ttie specific level of training and
experierx3e of the dentist arxj staff.
We offer our patients oral seda-
tior) as well as nitrous oxide and
general anesthesia from an onstaff
anesttiesiologist because we be-
lieve there shoukj be no reason for
dental phobia to keep anyone from
receiving the vital dental care they
need. We are caring, compassion-
ate, highly skilled professionals who
are dedicated to providing you with
high-quality dentistry and service.
We are located at 44 Greer^eaf
Street. Please caH 61 7^79-6220 to

Feed The Immune System
For The Cold, Flu Season
(ARA) - Our immune
systems are smart. The im-
mune system, when exposed
to new flu and cold viruses,
learns to recognized and re-
act to seasonal strains of the
invaders. The system also
remembers bugs it has seen
before. But we're a mobile
society ~ each year, world
travel brings new strains of
germs and virus home, forc-
ing the immune system to
deal with new invaders it
has never seen. This is why
the Center for EHsease Con-
trol makes yearly changes
to the flu vaccine, hoping
to predict which bugs will
arrive in the U.S. on a sea-
sonal basis.
A flu vaccine may help
during cold and flu season,
but there's no guarantee for
full protection. Extra efforts
are needed to avoid seasonal
germs ~ including a healthy
diet, exercise and nutritional
supplements. Here are some
suggestions for extra im-
mune support during the
2008-09 flu season:
Diet can make a differ-
ence. Prevention Magazine
recently published a list of
immunity-boosting foods,
including: lean beef in mod-
eration for its zinc content;
orange vegetables includ-
ing sweet potatoes and car-
rots (for vitamins A and D);
mushrooms such as shi takes,
which may help white blood
cells act more aggressively
against foreign invaders and
a cup of black or green tea
daily which provides pow-
erful anti-oxidant activity.
Also included in the list was
yogurt containing active pro-
biotic cultures, which help
balance the immune system
in the digestive tract.
According to ABC news,
turmeric, a rich, flavor-
ful spice, "has been used
for centuries as part of
Ayurvedic and traditional
Chinese medicines, in addi-
tion to being used for cook-
ing. Turmeric is found in
every yellow curry, and its
golden color is the result of
curcumin, a polyphenol with
strong cold and flu-fighting
properties. Although the
mechanism is unclear, a
2008 study published in
Biochemical and Biophysi-
cal Research Conununica-
tions found that curcumin
prevents some immime cells
from responding to stimu-
lants and so has modulat-
ing and anti-inflanunatory
effects. Other studies have
also shown the immime-
boosting properties of cur-
cumin in turmeric, however
these have not been con-
firmed in humans."
Turmeric is found natu-
rally as the rhizome part
of the turmeric plant and it
looks very similar to gin-
ger. The powdered spice is
made by boiling, drying and
grinding the root. The pow-
der has antiseptic qualities
when applied topically and
often is used on cuts, bums
and bruises. This spice is
available as an encapsulated
supplement at health food
stores.
In addition to a healthy
diet, a supplement brought
to the U.S. from Russia
is a favorite of many doc-
tors. Del-Inmiune V (www.
delimmune.com) has been
clinically tested to show a
significant increase in im-
mime activity, and may
provide significant support
to avoid colds and flu. The
muramyl peptides in Del-
Immune V act as switches in
the immune system, and are
responsible for dramatically
elevating inunune activity
our bodies. "I have used this
in several hundred patients
and have found it to be safe,
reliable and very effective,"
says Dr. Roger Mazlen, of
Rosslyn, N.Y.

Navigating The Holidays Without Sacrificing Your Health
(ARA) - Family feasts,
lunch with friends and bas-
kets of goodies arriving
at the office - the holidays
are filled with opportuni-
ties to enjoy food, fun and
the company of loved ones.
But they're also rife with
risk for anyone trying to eat
healthy.
"Research suggests that
those people who are vul-
nerable to excess weight,
gain more weight over the
holidays," says Karen Mill-
er-Kovach, chief scientific
officer of Weight Watch-
ers International. "That's
not surprising given the in-
creased stress, temptations
and consumption of high-
calorie and high-fat foods
that come with the holiday
season."
It is possible to get
through the holidays with
your good intentions - and
your waistline - intact.
Here's advice for dealing
with some food-related ob-
stacles commonly faced
during this busy time.
Avoid the Party Binge
"Humans are social ani-
mals and eating is a very so-
cial experience," Miller-Ko-
vach notes. 'That's why we
tend to eat more at parties
- plus, holiday celebrations
usually serve up a variety of
treats that we don't usually
get throughout the year."
Before you head out to a
holiday party, dine at home
on healthy fare that will
keep you feeling full, like
lean protein and fiber-rich
vegetables. Curbing your
appetite ahead of time will
help you keep control at the
party.
Go light on cocktails.
Alcohol has a lot of empty
calories. Opt for spritzers
- sparkling soda water and
some fruit flavors - as a
healthful alternative to spir-
its.
The holidays can be
a stressful time, and it's
tempting to "cope" by over-
eating at a party or even at
home. Instead of turning to
food for stress relief, try an
activity that reminds you of
the joys of the season like
skiing or ice skating.
Be Mindful When
On The Road
If you're dining out ii Idl
for the holidays, it may be
hard to stick to your weight
loss plan. But there are ways
to minimize the damage of
restaurant eating.
First, skip the appetizer.
Appetizers are often fried
and can pack more calories
than the entree.
Second, watch out for
calorie overload that's
caused by eating the entire
portion normally served in
restaurants. If you're get-
ting full, try not to clean
your plate; eat only half of
what you're served and take
home the rest.
If you're taking long
drives, avoid buying snacks
along the way. Instead, pack
your own goodies - like al-
monds, apples or even baby
carrots.
Flying? Airport delays
are common during the holi-
days and same goes here -
plan ahead to avoid eating
airport food and pack your
own snacks so that you are
in control. For instance,
Weight Watchers subscrib-
ers can use tools like the new

The Gift That
Keeps on Giving
Finally, nothing says
"holiday spirit" like a gift
food basket, but the truth
is these favorites are often
packed with empty calories.
If you're giving a gift bas-
ket, look for ones that offer
more healthful items - such
as fresh fruits. If you re-
ceive a gift basket, consider
simply thanking the giver
for their sentiment and then
discretely re-gift the item to
your local charity.
Once The Rush Is Over
Once this hectic season
passes, a scientifically-
based approach to weight
loss, such as Weight Watch-
ers Meetings and Weight
Watchers Online, can pro-
vide you with the tools and
information you need to em-
bark on a healthy lifestyle,
lose weight and keep it off.

who could become an
important new presence in
your life.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Your Scorpi-
on's sense of loyalty could
find you leading a passionate
defense of a loved one you
feel is being unfairly treated.
The week's end brings long-
awaited family news.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 2 1 ) Your
keen instincts are once more
on high alert as you find
yourself being pressured to
make a quick decision about
a certain matter. More facts
come to light by week's end.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) An unex-
pected workplace develop-
ment could disrupt some
family plans. A full explana-
tion, however, averts domes-
tic discord. A financial mat-
ter continues to need atten-
tion.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) Spend time
away from distractions to
reassess some recent moves
that might not have worked
out as you had hoped. What
you learn could be invalu-
able for future decision-
making.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) A recent act of
kindness is a reminder of
how important your friends
are to you. You might want to
show your appreciation by
hosting a special pre-New
Year's party just for them.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
always try to do your best,
which sometimes causes you
to be critical of those who
don't live up to your stan-
dards.

The Quincy Community
United Methodist Church
in Wollaston has a solution
for those to have suffered a
loss during the year and for
whom the holidays won't be
very joyous.
The solution includes
a simple gift; a spun glass
heart ornament from the
church's "Heart to Heart
Tree."
The Rev. Dr. Susan F.
Jarek-Glidden, pastor of
the church, who invented
the concept of the Heart to
Heart Tree said "Originally,
the heart ornaments were
meant to be given to people
who are experiencing a dif-
ficult holiday season, as a
way of letting them know
someone cares,"
She added, "Although
most of the hearts are still
given to people who are
hurting, some individuals
have given them to people
who have made a difference
in their lives, such as men-
tors, friends, family mem-
bers, and neighbors" "It's a
way of expressing feelings
a way saying "Thank You."

Did you ever put something in
the wrong place and wonder later
where it was? Of course you have.
We will have. Sometimes when the
thing shows up, we ask the silly
question, *'How did it get there?"
We know the answer. It got there
because we put it there.
Similar reasoning can apply, in a way, to religion.
People put Gk>d in the wrong place. It may sound
peculiar, but we can put GkMl in the right place. It
can even be said we can put God in His place, if we
want to. And this is said without *'smart alecky"
semantics.
We know God is in Heaven. But He is elsewhere,
too. Instead of placing Him in that unchartered area
**way up there," why don't we put Him where we can
find Him all the time? We go to His house of worship
on Sunday and then return to our OUR home. Why
not bring Him along home with us? When we put
Him in our home, where most of us need Him most,
we always know where He is. . .

the taxpayer's expense.
"Spending has got to
stop," Burgoyne said, then
noted, "The auditor doesn't
have to sign off anymore.
Nobody checks."
Speakers ranged from
a college professor, busi-
ness owners, a stay-at-home
mother, and the unemployed
to former Assessor and
Mayor Joseph LaRaia who
suggested that the business
and commercial rate be in-
creased.
Peter Forman, president
of the South Chamber of
Commerce said that the
business rate should be de-
creased, the city should
adopt an aggressive ap-
proach to control spending,
and examine priorities.
"Business owners are
not the least bit happy,'
said Forman who predicted
"ugly changes and they will
be tough changes."
"You can not forget the

but vacancies are hurting
business districts.
Others focused on the
budget process or made
periodic references to the
expensive carpet in Mayor
Thomas Koch's office.
The doom and gloom was
broken slightly when busi-
nessman Bruce Wood prom-
ised not to throw a shoe at
City Council president Jay
Davis.
Bob Haley of Elmwood
FORMER MAYOR Joseph
LaRaia spoke in favor of a
lower residential tax rate.
Park may revive a taxpay-
ers' watchdog group. Haley
presented a detailed five-
point examination of the
budget and claimed there
were numerous disparities
in the administration's bud-
get figures.
"This year is going to be
the best of the next three,"
said Dr. Vincent Pivnicny,
professor at University of
Massachusetts, Boston, who
said the city's finances are
"close to a tipping point."
"It's going to be worse
next year and the year af-
ter," said Pivnicny who rec-
ommended budget scrutiny
and long-range planning as
did Wood who is Chairman
of the Quincy Council of
the South Shore Chamber of
Commerce.
Wood, aresidentand busi-
ness owner, said the council
should come up with three
to four year plans. "We're
all in the same boat. We've
got to work together."
Wood said he's losing
two of his business tenants
while Pivnicny described
his work as a consultant at
Carney hospital where a
workforce layoff of over
nine percent is underway.
Attorney Jocelyn Sedney,
also, referred to Koch's car-
pet, describing her shock at
reading about it and labeling
the episode an example of
"poor judgement."
"Don't saddle us with
more than we can bear," said
Sedney who warned, "This
is going to get worse."
Several councillors,
agreed that changes must be
made in both services and
the approach to the budget
process.
Keenan said that, from
now on, every budget item
in every department will be
scrutinized, program by pro-
gram and line by line, from
trash collection to student
busing to every entidement.
As one example, Keenan
said there may be fees for
trash collection with one
barrel collected free, "The
next barrel, you're going to
have to pay a fee."
Keenan reconmiended
that the council immediate-
ly establish a budget review
conmiittee.
Ward 2 Councillor Daniel
Raymondi viewed the bud-
get process differently, "We
just vote a bottom line.
When are we going to learn
it's up to the mayor (to do
the cutting). . . we get bogged
down in the minutiae."
However, Davis said
that he is proud of the city's
schools and services which
make the city attractive.

Trying To Put Merry
In Christmas For Many
Helping Hands
Reach Out
To The Needy
By LAURA GRIFFIN
Hardship has many new
faces this season as young
veterans back from Iraq,
singles, working families
and the newly unemployed
join the ranks of those in
need.
While the numbers of
those in need soar, donors
are, also, strapped in this
economic slump and con-
tributions are down at some
agencies while the costs go
up.
"We are seeing a different
face of poverty," said Kathy
Quigley of the Germantown
Neighborhood Center where
she said more clients are
working homeowners over-
whelmed by the economy.
"We're struggling to pro-
vide food," said Quigley,
noting that donations are
down significantly this year.
At Father Bills
MainSpring, 20 percent of
the homeless are veterans of
the current Iraq Conflict, ac-
cording to John Yazwinski,
Executive Director. These
are young men and women
who have come home to
low-paying jobs or no jobs.
Veterans' agencies "don't
provide shelter or housing,"
said Yazwinski who de-
scribed efforts to find jobs
and housing for returning
veterans and the increasing
number of young clients,
1 8-24, who have aged out of
the social service networks.
Yazwinski described the
many Father Bill's clients
who are working but whose
paychecks, often in the ser-
vice industry, do not cover
both food and rent.
"We don't want any-
body to sleep outside." said
Yazwinski who said Father
Bill's has been stereotyped
as serving only substance
abusers.
In fact. Father Bills not
only serves as a safety net
for individuals but, also.

Up To 18 Inches Of Snow
storm Will Cost
City About $200,000
By TOM HENSHAW
More than two days of
steady snowfall that saw
12 to 18 inches dropped on
the city from Friday to late
Sunday did little to disrupt
the lives of Quincy resi-
dents.
The Christmas shopping
crowds were thin during
the height of the storm but
Public Works Department
crews got an early start and
kept the roads reasonably
open.
"We had 82 pieces out
early Friday afternoon and
some of them are still out,"
said Christopher Walker, the
mayor's director of policy,
Monday afternoon. "We're
focused on the schools and
side streets now."
He estimated the storm
will cost the city about
$200,000.
"The storm killed busi-
ness in Quincy Center on an
important weekend," said
Maralin Manning, execu-
tive director of the Quincy
Business Association.
"We were hoping it
would get better Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday.
People have to buy what

The state's Outdoor Ad-
vertising Board could decide
the fate of the 80-foot West
Quincy billboard on Willard
Street in early January.
Neither City Solicitor
James Timmins nor Mat-
thew Lawlor who has been
representing businessman
Thomas Maloney, Jr., would
venture an opinion last week
as to how board members
will decide the issue.
Ward 2 Councillor Dan-
iel Raymondi is hoping that
board members will make
an independent decision on
the issue, but he fears board
members will balk at revers-
ing their own decision.
"I'm not all that optimis-
tic," Raymondi said, adding
that the city "clearly made
its case" at the E>ec. 11
public hearing called by the
board.
Tinmiins presented the
city's argument asking the
board reject the permit for
the billboard.
Raymondi and Council-
lor John Keenan, along with
several dozen Quincy resi-
dents, attended the public
hearing.
"They should reverse
their decision, but I'm fear-
ful they're not going to."
Said Raymondi who believes
a decision favoring the bill-
board will further erode the
public's confidence in state
government.
"It's going to be difficult
for them to ignore their own
regulations," Raymondi
said, referring to the state's
prohibition against bill-
boards near parkland and
describing the excellent
testimony from the city's
witnesses and billboard op-
ponents.
The billboard discussion
is not on the board's agenda
yet, but Edward Farley, Ex-
ecutive Director, said the
Jan. 8 meeting agenda has
not yet been finalized.
The last day for written
statements is Deq. 31, ac-
cording to Farley who said
members will, 4hon, review
the new inaterial and begin
deliberations.
Members of the state
board had requested writ-
ten statements from the at-
torneys representing the city
and Boston Outdoor Ven-
tures, LLC at the last meet-
ing Dec. 11.
Farley said board mem-
bers were seeking a wrap-up
of legal briefs from the at-
torneys representing the city
and the billboard company.
As for the public writing
to the board, Farley said,
"We can't stop people from
sending letters."

Councillors Seek Taxpayer
Assistance Through Federal
Funding Of Grant Program
Ward 3 Councillor Kevin
Coughlin recently intro-
duced and secured passage
of a resolution cosponsored
by Ward 5 Councillor Doug
Gutro, calling upon Con-
gress to fully fund the $10
billion Energy Efficiency
and Conservation Block
Grant Program, an impor-
tant provision of the Energy
Independence and Secu-
rity Act signed into law on
Dec. 19, 2007 by President
Bush.
"This historic compre-
hensive energy bill aimed
at moving the United States
toward greater energy inde-
pendence and security and
a key provision within it,
the grant program modeled
after the Conmiunity Devel-
opment Block Grant pro-
gram, would provide crucial
grants to cities, counties and
states for iimovati ve practic-
es to achieve greater energy
efficiency and lower energy
usage," Coughlin said. "In
this period of economic
meltdown this program, if
funded as promised, would
save Quincy taxpayers mil-
lions of dollars over the next
five years, the original life
span of the grant program."
These grants would fund
local initiatives, including
building and home energy
conservation programs,
energy audits, fiiel conser-
vation programs, building
retrofits to increase energy
efficiency, "smart growth"
planning and zoning, and al-
ternative energy programs.
The grants can be used
for a variety of purposes,
from plarming and building
to providing incentives for
efficient energy use.
Among the program-el-
igible uses are: developing
and implementing efficient
energy and conservation
strategies; developing pro-
grams to conserve energy
used in transportation, such
as flex time for workers,
satellite work centers, bike
paths, and pedestrian walk-
ways; updating building
codes and inspection pro-
cedures; installing renew-
able energy technology on
or in government buildings;
replacing traffic signals and
street lighting with energy-
efficient technology; en-
ergy audits; conservation
programs; retrofitting to
increase energy efficiency;
smart-growth planning and
zoning; and installing tech-
nology designed to capture
greenhouse gases.
"Quincy stepped up to the
front of the line to pave the
way of energy efficiency in

public buildings at a cost of
some $32 million," Cough-
lin said. "It is money that
has been invested to provide
taxpayer savings going for-
ward and to improve the en-
vironment at the same time.
Congress and the incoming
Obama administration need
to ensure fulfillment of the
commitment to fund this
Energy Efficiency Block
Grant program so that tax-
payers in this city can obtain
relief from this $32 million
burden.
"Washington has bailed
out Wall Street, the financial
sector and businesses such
as the auto industry while
millions of average Ameri-
cans shoulder the costs,"
Coughlin said. "It is appro-
priate and necessary that the
Congress and the incoming
President recognize that cit-
ies and towns and local gov-
ernments are not simply the
threads that bind the fabric
of our nation together, they
are important cogs in the
economic engine that drives
this nation forward."
Gutro agreed. "Decreas-
ing state aid and increasing
property taxes drive the ur-
gency to fund this energy
block grant program. It will
provide a quick, clean, and
green jump start for local
economies like ours here in
Quincy," he added."

Dear Santa:
Sorry for not keeping my word. I promised to write
you early so it would be easier for you to pack
your sleigh.
But here I am again. Late again as usual.
I have a lot of nice people on my gift list so I hope
you can still get to them. Some of the gifts, as you
know, are in a humorous vein, some in a serious.
I don't want to be a pain, Santa. Just want to again
remind you we are the Quincy that pronounces it Quin-
zee. Wouldn't want you to mix us up with those other
Quincy s that pronounce it Quin-cee.
So, Santa, please drop off the following:
Mayor TOM KOCH, discovery of a gold mine or
oil well behind City Hall to get the city and taxpay-
ers through this economic crisis. . . JAY DAVIS, Ward
4 Councillor and council president, a magic wand to
make that controversial billboard disappear... State
Senator MIKE MORRISSEY and Reps. BRUCE
AYERS, RON MARIANO and STEVE TOBIN,
a fair share of the dwindling state aid for Quincy...
Congressman BELL DELAHUNT, a same fair share
of federal aid for Quincy if there's anything left af-
ter all those bailouts... Health Commissioner DREW
SCHEELE, a new stack of "Wash Your Hands" signs
for posting in rest rooms throughout the city... City
Clerk JOE SHEA, that miracle election day he is
still waiting for when every registered voter shows
up to actually vote... JENNIFER LOGUE, a lucky
coin to toss to help decide whether to make another
run for councillor at-large. . . Fr. BILL MCCARTHY
and JOHN YAZWINSKI the miraculous day they
hope to see to close Father Bill's Place because it and
other homeless shelters are no longer needed because

And Santa: SHARRON BEALS is no longer at
the Beechwood Community Life Center. In fact, the
Beech wood Community Life Center isn't there any-
more either.
She used to keep Christmas Eve vigil there hoping
to catch you coming down the chiimiey. She's at home
now in Mansfield but still hoping to catch you. She
wants to personally give you her favorite "Thought
For Christmas" to take back to Mrs. Claus. She thinks
you wife will really like it.
It goes like this:
"Do you know what would have happened if it had
been the Three Wise Women instead of the Three Wise
Men?
They would have asked directions, arrived on time,
helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable and made
a casserole, brought practical gifts and there would be
'Peace On Earth'."
I'm sure I've forgotten some people, Santa, includ-
ing good friends.
But to all of them and all of you, a very Merry
Christmas, Happy Chanukah and a Happy. Healthy
New Year.

A Christmas Scene
From Yesterday
^MERRY CHRISTMAS
from QUINCX MASS.
Largest Omstmas Tree in United States.
85 feet high contributed by Retail Merchants*
THIS 1934 postcard is one of the favorites of Quincy Sun
refers who look forward to seeing it at Christmas time.
Thte is the fourteenth year we have published it. This tree
- claimed to be the largest in the United States - was five
feet taller than the one recently placed at Faneoil Hall
Mariiet in Boston. It was erected in front of the then new
art deco Granite Tmst Building at the intersection in
Qoincy Center that was called Granite Five Comers. On
the left was Howard Johnson's first restaurant outside
of WoUaston. On the right was Homer's Jewelry, known
since 1948 as Rc^rs Jewelry. On the sides of the bank
entrance door were Flagg's Cigar Shop and Beech's
Newsstand. The Merchants Division of the Quincy
Chamber of Conmierce donated the 85-foot tall tree. To

Three Quincy Men
Korean War Casualties
By FRANK McCAULEY
The Department of Defense released information on
three Quincy men serving in Korea.
PFC John W. Farrell, 26 Beach St., Wollaston, was re-
ported missing in action while fighting with the Army.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Delahunt of 75
Waterson Ave, Wollaston, received
word that their son, Sgt. Richard
Delahunt, is in an Army hospital
in Japan. He was being treated for
frozen hands and feet and shrapnel
wounds in his legs. He was wounded when his regiment was
trapped with Marine units at the Chosin Reservoir.
Cpl. Bruce Lindblom, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lind-
blom of 61 Park Ave, Squantum, was back in action in the
Seoul area; Cpl. Lindblom was serving with the Army Air
Force.
ATTORNEY SHOT IN GUN ACCIDENT AT HOME
A Quincy Point attorney was critically wounded when a
shotgun apparently accidentally went off in his home.
Wesley C. Haley, 50, of 53 Cleverly Court, Quincy, a
former president of the Ward Two Citizens League, was re-
ported "in very bad good" at Quincy Hospital, his name on
the danger list.
A hospital spokesman said Haley suffered a shotgun
wound in the abdomen.
Special officer James Ford of the Quincy Police Depart-
ment said the shooting appeared to be accidental . An exami-
nation of the weapon, a 16-gauge double-barreled shotgun,
indicated that it had been dropped on the cellar floor and
had discharged.
A burst from one of the barrels apparently struck Haley
sideways and sent a shower of buckshot against the cellar
wall, Ford explained.

llll4iivie*'s
BY MARIE D'OLlMnO
M anicotti Filled With Ricotta, Spinach
I think a good alternative to
having a roast for Christmas is
a pasta dish, either a lasagna or
manicotti, which both can be
made ahead of time so things
are a little easier. Of course at
our house, sometimes we have
both the roast and the pasta.
Today's recipe is for the
manicotti ( a crepe like pasta)
which can be made several ways
and has only three ingredients.
They can be filled several ways,
but today I'm using a ricotta, spinach one,
but any favorite will do.
Manicotti
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1 cup water
Mix all of the ingredients together until
smooth. Heat the frying pan (about 4 or 5
inches round) until hot. With a pastry brush,
brush oil and wait until it is hot. Measure
quarter cup of the mixture and spread it around
with a spoon until the pan is covered with the
liquid. In about a minute it is done and you
don't have to turn it over, but just slip it out
of the pan with a spatula. Line
them up as done on a piece of
wax paper and then fill with the
following ingredients.
Ricotta, spinach filling.
1 bag or 1 frozen package
chopped spinach
1 pound ricotta
a couple of sprigs of fresh
parsley chopped fine
1/4 cup grated Romano or
Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs
Cook the spinach according to directions.
While that is cooking, mix all other ingredi-
ents together, and then add it to the spinach.
Place the filling in the center of the crepe and
roll placing the rolled side on the bottom.
Place them in a greased baking pan, cover
with sauce and grated cheese. Cook covered
in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until
hot. When you do this ahead of time, don't
put any sauce on top until you are ready to
bake them.
Merry Christmas!

QUINCY HIGH SCHOOL'S Academic Decathlon team includes honors phiyers Michaela
Walker, Xiao Ting Zheng, Katie Ge, scholastic players Sahna Goummih, David Nguyen, Fa-
tima al-Rekabi, varisity players Anita Kadin, Adora Kadiu Desiree Brown, and alternates Shu
Wang, Chaoran Chen, You Wu, Andrea Marroquin, Nicholas Dolan, Hanin Hussein, Christine
Famsworth, Gustave Portillo and Leroy Wallace.
Quincy High Competes In
Fourth Academic Decathlon
Quincy High School
was among 40 schools that
recently participated in the
Massachusetts combined
large-and-small-school re-
gional scrimmage in prepa-
ration for the 2009 United
States Academic Decathlon
at Ashland High School.
Local, regional and state
competitions can lead to
the national finals which
this academic year will take
place in Memphis, Tennes-
see in April.
"Our team showed im-
provement again this year,"
Coach Evelyn Ryan said.
"We finished in 13* place,
and the team totals were
very close. If we had an-
swered just three more
questions right, we would
have made it to States"
The United States Aca-
demic Decathlon was creat-
ed to provide opportunities
for students to experience
the challenges of rigorous
team and individual compe-
tition.
Each team competes in
ten events— economics,
language and literature, art,
music, mathematics, social
science, science, essay, in-
terview, and speech. Each
year the science or social
science is used as the Super
Quiz topic.
A new theme of study is
established every year with
topics that are relevant,
current and challenging.
This year's science focus
is the theory of evolution.
The social studies topic is
Latin America. "The team
really appreciates the incen-
tive to study these subjects
in depth," Ryan said. 'The
students gain a remarkable
amount of knowledge in
their daily preparation for
competition. There's really
no way to lose taking part in
an event like this."
Gold, silver and bronze
medals are awarded for in-
dividual events and total
scores. Overall individual
winners are recognized,
as are champion teams.
"On our team this year, the
Coach's gold medal goes
to Xiao Tmg Zheng, our
undisputed Most Valuable
Player," Ryan said. "She
took a leadership role in
organizing sunmier study,
helping the whole team stay
on task and learning the in-
formation. The entire team
did their best and I am very
proud of them."

Nominations Coming In For
Sun * Citizen Of The Year'
Nominations are coming
in for The Quincy Sun's 24*
annual "Citizen of the Year"
award.
Established in 1985, the
award recognizes an indi-
vidual for outstanding com-
munity service or a special
achievement.
Last year, Robert and
Gloria Noble were honored
for their service to worthy
conmiunity causes for more
than a half century. They are
the first husband and wife
team - and the 24*^ and 25*
recipients - of the award.
The Nobles were selected
for the honor by a panel of
judges from among 44 nom-
inees submitted by Quincy
Sun readers.
Again this year. Sun read-
ers may nominate the person
they feel is most deserving
of the award.
A nomination ballot to
help the selection process
appears in this week's issue
of The Quincy Sun.
Nominations will close
Wednesday, Dec. 31. After
nominations close, a judg-
ing panel will be selected to
make the final choice from
nominations submitted.
If you know someone you
would like to see recognized
with the 2008 award, fill out
the ballot and mail it to:
The Quincy Sun
Attn: Citizen of the Year
1372 Hancock St.
Quincy, MA 02169
Ballots can also be
dropped off at The Sun of-
fice at the above address by
Dec. 31.
Those submitting nomi-
nations should identify
themselves. They can also
attach to the ballot a letter
detailing the reason for the
their nomination.
Nominees can be some-
one in elective office, a
member of an appointed
board, a clergy member, a
teacher or school adminis-
trator, a police or firefighter,
someone in the business
community, a sports figure
or an "unsung" neighbor,
friend or conununity activ-
ist who has given freely of
his or her time to a worthy
project or cause.
Those nominated in
the past are eligible to be
nominated again this year.
Since this is not a popular-
ity contest, each nominee
has an equal chance of be-

Helping Hands Reach Out To The Needy
Cont 'd From Page 1
provides shelter for families.
At this time 67 families are
in agency shelters.
More women and work-
ing families are joining the
ranks of the homeless as the
disconnect between wages
and cost of living becomes
wider and wider, according
to Yazwinski who said that
the loss of one paycheck in a
two-income family can cre-
ate upheaval.
Quigley described cou-
ples who "own their own
homes and are working,"
but have maxed out their
credit buying food. Often,
they're just short of qualify-
ing for food stamps or fuel
assistance and they're fall-
ing behind in their mortgage
payments.
John Martland, President
of Interfaith Social Services,
deplored the rash of layoffs
as business and industry
clears their books before the
new year.
"This is the time of year
when people get laid off.
Right before the holidays.
It's their Christmas pres-
ent," said Martland who is
proud of his agency's many
volunteers.
It's "pretty cruel," said
Bettyanne Lang who has
worked with Interfaith Social
Services for 18 years.
Lang described a middle
income applicant, "She was
so shocked. Her Christmas
surprise was her husband
was laid off."
The proudest applicants
often wait too long, ac-
cording to Laure Stracco,
manager at Interfaith Social
Services, who said that, too
often, they are bankrupt and
in foreclosure before they
seek help.
One applicant shook as
he filled out his request and
told Laura Stracco, manager
at Interfaith Social Services,
"He never thought he'd
see the day that he couldn't
support his family," said
Stracco.
Despite the increase in
need, hundreds and hun-
dreds of people are being
helped this season and the
donors are legion, ranging
from the elderly dropping
dollars from their Social
Security checks in collec-
tion boxes to youngsters of-
fering helping hands across
the city.
High school students rang
the bell at some Salvation
Army kettles and elementa-
ry school children collected
food for such agencies as
Quincy Crisis Center.
Giving is its own re-
ward and a big one at that.
Ray Cattaneo, President of
Quincy City Qub, recalled
the reception he and his
members got when deliver-
ing holiday packages.
"People open up a pair of
mittens or socks and they're
so grateful. You remember
that. That feels good," said
Cattaneo.
Individuals like Sen.
Michael Morrissey also
sponsor personal fund-rais-
ing .for local charities.
Donors are always wel-
come. The holidays will be
over in a flash but help will
be welcome, all year round,
as hunger knows no season.
Many of the agencies
provide food banks that are
constantly running low and
new socks, new warm blan-
kets and gift cards for food
are needed now more than
ever.
The following are just a
few of the many agencies,
individuals and charitable
groups serving the Quincy
community. All serve those
in need year-round and are
grateful for donations.
Germantown
Neighborhood Center
"We're doing more with
less," said Kathy Quigley
who reported that the center
is serving close to 700 fami-
lies and seniors this year.
"We're struggling to pro-
vide food."
Those figures include
2,447 children under 18 and
many many working fami-
lies.
Quigley said the new cli-
ents include people "who
own homes and are work-
ing. Everything costs more.
Every bill went up."
There's "a lot of sadness
out there and horrific situa-
tions," said Quigley. "We're
on the front lines here."
"Last year, we did very
well," Quigley said of past
year donations. This year
is different, "I attribute that
to what happening now in
investments and founda-
tions."
The center participates
in the six-year old Holiday
Coalition through which
agencies share their lists of
families so as to eliminate
duplication.
This list-sharing is very
important, according to
Quigley.
Quigley said that the
coalition offers donors the
knowledge that their contri-
butions are properly used.
Referrals come from
schools and other agen-
cies, according to Quigley
and gift deliveries keep go-
ing "right up to Christmas
Eve" \.
Food is needed year
round, as are new warm
blankets and children's
coats, gift cards for food
stores, toiletries, soap, and
shampoo.
Donations may be
mailed or delivered to the
center at 366 Palmer St.,
Germantown, 02169.
Father BiU's Place -
MainSpring
"We're very lucky that
people give," said John
Yazwinski said he described
the increasing need at shel-
ters.
"They're down a little.
Everybody's struggling,"
said Yazwinski, "We really
need help."
"We're funded for 75
beds," said Yazwinski who
said the agency is averaging
125 guests with 95 perma-
nent guest. As a result, 30-
40 sleep on cots and mat-
tresses each night.
Of the new clients,
Yazwinski said that 65%
are "straight from the rental
market and have never ex-
perienced being homeless."
Yazwinski, also, de-
scribed the "uptick of vet-
erans coming back in need
of housing" after service in
Iraq and estimated that these
young veterans account for,
roughly, 20 percent of the
guests.
In addition, he has seen
more young adults, women
and families stressed by the
economic downturn.
Father Bills, he said, is
open to all in need and is
not just for those recovering
from substance abuse,
"That been the stereotype.
We provide a safety net for
a variety of people, many
working part-time. We don't
want anybody to sleep out-
side."
At this time, the agency
is providing housing for 67
families.
Fund-raisers are held pe-
riodically through the year
and corporate groups and
individuals contribute to the
shelter.
Yazwinski said there is
always a need for donations,
for new blankets, socks,
soap, shampoo, towels and
canned food.
Donations made be
made through the Internet at
FatherB i 1 1 sMai nspri ng .org
or by mail to 38 Broad St.,
Quincy, 02169. For more
information, call the devel-
opment office at 617-770-
3314.
The Salvation Army
People are being gener-
ous at the annual Salvation
Army kettle drives at stores
and centers throughout the
NQHS Seminar On Financial Aid
Ncnifa Quincy High
School will host a free com-
prehensive seminar on col-
lege financing Monday, Jan.
5 at 7 p.m. at the school.
A r^)resentative firom the
Massachusetts Educational available financing options.
Financing Authority will Families will receive
discuss the financial aid pro- a seminar booklet which
cess, teaching parents how serves as a year-round re-
to aj^ly, compare financial source,
aid award letters and seek
city, according to Major
Linda Jones, co-conunand-
er of the Salvation Army
Quincy Corps.
However, Major Jones
said that they don't have
collection figures for this
year as the final tally is tak-
en after the holidays.
The need is increasing.
"We're seeing more peo-
ple coming to us, up to 50
families," Major Jones said,
noting that the Quincy Corps
is nearing the 500 marks in
contrast to last year's 409
famiUes.
Hundreds of children
find Christmas gifts, thanks
to the Army's gift baskets,
which include four new toys
for each youngster under 12
as well as donated clothing
and food vouchers.
Donations may be sent to
the Salvation Army,
Quincy Crisis Center
Kathi Garrison said vol-
unteers deliver the center's
255 baskets right up through
Christmas Eve. The bas-
kets are filled with food and
household items for families
and gifts for youngsters up
to 16-years-old.
The need is greater, but
Garrison said, "People have
responded."
Garrison said the Quincy
Crisis Center works year-
round with a special focus,
"We help people who are
homebound, disabled, hand-
icapped and elderly."
This year, Quincy stu-
dents conducted food
drives for the center at
North Quincy High School,
Montclair, Beechwood,
Merrymount and Bemazzani
Elementary Schools.
Interested volunteers
may call the center at 617-
848-6967 or mail donations
to Quincy Crisis Center,
PO Box 31, Quincy, MA
02170.
Interfaith Social Services
Volunteers, known as
Santa's Helpers participate
in the agency's 17-year-old
Adopt- A-Family Program,
according to Laura Stracco,
Manager.
Stracco described the
agency's headquarters as
looking "a little bit like
Santa's workshop" last week
as volunteers organized the
wrapping and distribution of
gifts.
This year, Stracco's
agency will serve over 175
households and over 500
children through the pro-
gram.
That's in contrast to last
year's numbers when some
127 households and 400
children were adopted.
Stracco said they were
still taking names last week
and many were middle class
families who have suffered
loss of jobs as well as work-
ing families buffeted by the
economy.
Interfaith Social Services
has been helping families
for 61 years, according to
John Martland, president.
Martland, himself, de-
scribed the joy of adppting
an Asian family of a mother,
grandmother and seven-
year-old girl.
Martland said the young-
ster did all the translating
for her elders. As for her
gift, he said that she asked
for an arithmetic book.
Stracco said there has
been a 30 percent increase
at the agency's monthly
food pantry which cur-
rently serves 55 households
and, more, as needed, on an
emergency basis
Donations of food are al-
ways welcome. Donations
may be mailed or delivered
at headquarters, 105 Adams
St., Quincy.
Quincy City Club, Inc.
The 100 members of
this private club have been
quietly helping residents
since the late Richard Koch
founded it 36 years ago.
Members leave their
baskets quietly and anony-
mously and recipients never
know the source.
Each member contrib-
utes to the holiday fund
which raises $6,000 to
$7,000 each year, according
to Ray Cattaneo, president,
who said the club focuses on
agencies serving the home-
less, the mentally ill, and re-
covering substance abusers.
As an example, Cattaneo
said he and two other mem-
bers delivered 15 dozen
hats, pairs of socks, and mit-
tens as well as five dozen
scarves, T-shirts and another
dozen two dozen robes.
This year, Cattaneo said
the club's gifts were deliv-
ered to patients and guests
at Long Island Hospital,
Discovery Day Treatment,
the Dysart Street agency and
Father Bill's Mainspring.
Quincy Lodge of Elks
The Quincy Lodge of
Elks distributed 170 bas-
kets with turkeys and all
the trimmings to local
families at Christmas and
Thanksgiving.
Committee Chairman
John McHugh, Past Exalted
Ruler,
organized this year's pro-
gram, along with Elks mem-
bers and community work-
ers.
McHugh had special
thanks for Quigley and the
Germantown Neighborhood
Center and Ruler and
Kenneth Yee of the Adantic
Neighborhood Center,
The Elks motto is "Elks
Care. Elks Share." and
Lodge members not only
donate the funds but 20 to 30
members donate their time
and deliver the baskets.
Elks offer service to the
community year-round with
special events for veterans
and dinners for senior citi-
zens.
Morrissey Holiday Party
And there are many in-
dividuals like Sen. Michael
Morrissey who have holiday
events and parties as fund-
raisers.
For the past 15 years,
Morrissey has held an annu-
al Holiday Party to benefit
local children and agencies.
Participants bring canned
goods for local pantries, toys
for Toys for Tots or checks
for DOVE or the Dianne
Dianna Center.
This year, Morrissey said
participants filled 15-20
boxes with canned goods,
contributed toys to Toys
for Tots, $2500 for DOVE,
and nearly $1,000 for the
DeVaima Center.
"The holiday season is a
good time to see old friends
and make a contribution
to local charities," said
Morrissey,
St Vincent de Paul Society
Eight couples, along with
Bill Lawless, President, or-
ganize the charitable ef-
forts of St. Vincent de Paul
Society at St. John's Church,
School Street, Quincy.
"We couldn't do any-
thing without the wonderfiil
people of St. John's," said
Lawless who was among
the founders of the Society
28 years ago
The Society operates a
food pantry year-round and
the numbers are up at least
ten percent this year, ac-
cording to Lawless.
"We see it on a weekly
basis," said Lawless of the
increase in need.
Christmas is a special
time for members. Every
Advent, Society members
have sponsored "The Giving
Tree."
The tree is raised on the
church altar with paper
decorations listing the
Christmas wishes .and needs
of parishioners and their
children.
Donors pick a gift, pur-
chase the request and re-
tum it to St. John's office.
This year, 65. families were
remembered through "The
Giving Tree."
"The altar was filled with
unopened presents," said
Lawless of the collection
Sunday.
The wrapped presents, all
tagged with code are given
to specific families and indi-
viduals, along with turkeys,
and food baskets.
In the years since Lawless
and the Quincy members
initiated the idea, other
churches have adopted "The
Giving Tree" concept.
Now, thousands of fami-
lies and children throughout
the Archdiocese are given
what they need and what
they wish for at Christmas
through Giving Trees.
. There are many, many
business and private donors,
according to Lawless who
cited such businesses as
Previti's and Rick Ramos.

Forum Topic: 'Cultural Competency And
Diversity Factors For Asian American Elders '
The Ethics Of Diversity
By MALKAH FELDMAN
Imagine, for a moment,
if all elder service providers
on the South Shore had both
a multicultural and multilin-
gual staff and client base?
What if cultural differ-
ences were respected and
viewed with curiosity? What
if clients and staff sought to
learn about each other holi-
days, joys and tragedies?
What if we celebrated
each day with food from
many cultures and ex-
changed various ways of
doing things? What new and
innovative services might
be offered?
How many new choices
would clients have for com-
fort, exercise and healing?
How different might
management styles be if
multicultural appreciation
made staff want to learn
new way of team building
and problem-solving?
How might that change
the concept of team work?
Will this ever come to pass?
For those of us who hold
this promise and dream of
this possibility, here is an
example of how it looked
for two short hours on the
morning of Nov. 18, at the
Fenno House Independent
and Assisted Living.
Over 35 agencies serving
seniors on the south shore of
Boston attended the forum
'Cultural Competency and
Diversity Factors for Asian
American Elders'. The ser-
vice providers who attended
came firom a range of orga-
nizations including assisted
living centers, hospitals,
public health, and rehabili-
tative and long-term care
nursing centers.
The collaborative spon-
soring organizations includ-
ed Quincy Medical Center,
Quincy Council on Aging,
the South Shore News, Wol-
laston Senior Center, the
Law Offices of Joanne Er-
ickson, and Fenno House
Independent and Assisted
Living.
Frank Poon, outreach
worker from South Shore
Elder Services and John
Brothers, executive direc-
tor of the Quincy Asian
Resource Center led the pre-
sentation and discussion. A
power-point slide show gave
informative and important
background on the growing
Chinese community in the
south shore.
Discussion included is-
sues of generational differ-
ences between adult chil-
dren who have lived on the
south shore for a long time
and their recent immigrant
elderly parents.
The Chinese are the fast-
est growing ethnic/racial
group in Quincy — 144%
increase since 1990. Seven-
ty-five percent of Quincy 's
Asian Americans are immi-
grants (67% are U.S. citi-
zens).
The Chinese in Quincy
have the highest rate for
home-ownership (more than
any other group). Chinese
seniors in Quincy tend to be
from Hong Kong or Guang-
zhou and speak Cantonese
and Chinese from Fujian
(more recent immigrants)
speak Mandarin and Fujia-
nese.
Many elders inuni-
grate after they retire and
have face major challenges
adapting to a new culture.
Most adult children assume
responsibility for the care
of their parents. These adult
children vary greatly in so-
cio-economic status. Many
of the adult children are as-
similated and open to hous-
ing options for their parents
that include apartments for
the elderly, assisted living
and nursing home care.
When Chinese elder
residents need services they
will not access them unless
the agency has a perceived
responsiveness to their
community. This perceived
responsiveness is based
on sincere outreach efforts
that an agency has done to
welcome the Chinese com-
munity. A business, orga-
nization or company that
wants to be inclusive needs
to develop a long-term ap-
proach that includes the hir-
ing and retaining of Asian
personnel, staff and people
who have appropriate skills.
Bilingual providers and in-
terpreter services are also
needed in the plan. Cultural
competency training and
awareness, as well as an
anti -racism understanding,
will need to be on the agen-
da of the top management
of the agency. Untimely,
the management must filter
down and extend to all other
levels of the organization, if
inclusion of the Chinese is
to be successful.
Feedback from the evalu-
ations of the event included
participates asking for more
in-depth information, focus
and discussion of ways to
bridge the gaps of culture
and language. The intention
of the organizers is to take
the feedback and incorpo-
rate it into future planning.
The Quincy Asian Re-
sources provides cultural
competence trainings and
support for south shore or-
ganizations wanting to be
more inclusive of the Chi-
nese community. South
Shore Elder Services also
offers support, resources
and problem-solving. The
Welcome Back Center for
Internationally Educated
Nurses, a center that helps
inmiigrants get US nursing
certification (then provides
job placement) gave a short
presentation on ways agen-
cies can hire multi-lingual
Chinese RN's and LPN's.
The presentation series
on ethics and senior provid-
ers will continue offering
all south shore senior pro-
viders with stimulating and
relevant forums every other
month. Please contact us at
617-773-1590, extension
22, for more information.
The collaborative orga-
nizations of these forums
includes Lola Tom and Leo
Newhouse from Quincy
Medical Center, Tom Clasby
and Nancy DiPaolo from the
Quincy Council on Aging,
Joyce Guan from the Wol-
laston Senior Center, Joanne
Erikson from Law Offices of
Joanne Erikson, Greg Porell
from South Shore Senior
News and Malkah Feldman

dent and Assisted Living.

Life Safety Concerns
During This Winter
GRANITE STREET CAFE, located at 378 Granite St. in the Brewers Comer section of Quin-
cy, recently celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon cutting.
Granite Street Cafe
Celebrates Grand Opening
Chef and owner Arben
Berber! recently celebrated
the grand opening of his res-
taurant, Granite Street Caf6,
located at 378 Granite St. in
the Brewers Comer section
of Quincy.
On hand to celebrate were
Mayor Thomas P. Koch,
City Council President Jay
Davis, Quincy 2000 Col-
laborative Executive Direc-
tor E)ean Rizzo, Discover
Quincy Executive Director
Mark Carey, among other
business owners and family
members.
Bom in Albania, Chef
Berberi was culinary
schooled and trained and
worked in Varese, Italy for
eight years prior to fulfilling
his dream of opening his
own restaurant. He said he
was thrilled to find the per-
fect location, right near his
Quincy home.
The opening of the res-
taurant has been a family
affair. You will often find
his wife Mirela, his father
Elmas, his daughters Re-
becca and Jessica, or an-
other relative working at
the restaurant, which has a
casual, clean, and friendly
family atmosphere.
The menu ranges from
scrambled eggs and French
toast for breakfast to burg-
ers and linguine with cala-
mari for lunch.
The Granite Street Caf6
also offers catering and
function facilities.
Here's a brief focusing
on ice rescue if you happen
to witness someone trapped
on ice or submerged within
icy water this winter. As
of this writing, we are not
quite there yet, but it pays to
be prepared for the worse if
this winter gets severe.
So what should you do if
you witness someone falling
through the ice? Act quickly
and call 911 for immediate
help. This will alert trained
and equipped rescue person-
nel. AVOID going out on
the ice yourself. Often time
would-be rescuers become
victims themselves. Throw
them a buoyant object such
as a life ring or float tied to
a rope. We will often use a
lightweight boat to row out
to the victim or push it to-
wards them along the ice
while being held by the res-
cuers in immersion suits.
Each situation dictates
its own solution. In the fire
service, it is essential not
to become part of the prob-
lem yourself. That is why
each rescue is unique, well
thought out and performed
carefully so as not to com-
plicate what is already dif-
ficult.
If you witness a cod wa-
ter emergency, think and re-
spond properly while not re-
acting irrationally. Contact
those prepared to respond
to such an incident and as-
sist as safely as you can if
you can do so safely. Think:
REACH, THROW or Row,
while not becoming a com-
ponent of the problem or a
victim yourself.
I also want to take this
opportunity to remind you
of another winter concern.
Exit discharge, that por-
tion of an exit outside a
building, MUST be free of
snow. This is particularly
important as it pertains to
assembly occupancies such
as restaurants, nightclubs
and bars, but this is equally
important for mercantile
properties as well. Free
and unobstructed exit ac-
cess from the inside is not
enough; it is imperative that
the exit doors open freely
toward the outside so that
patrons can exit freely and
quickly if need be.
Snow and ice can impede
this process and MUST be
removed if present. Proper
maintenance of life safety
considerations depends on
it. Effective and immediate
evacuation depends on it as
well.
And lastly, consider
the importance of having
two means of unobstmct-
ed egress from your own
homes, too. In an emergen-
cy, it is not enough to have
access to one exit only; your
evacuation plans should
consider altemate ways o
existing your home if need-
ed. So consider snow and ice
removal from all potential
exists so that doors can open
fteely and paths away from
your home are passable and
unobstmcted.
Thank you for doing so.

A Job Well Done
On Thursday, Oct. 30, 2008, at approximately 1:20
p.m, Officer Daniel Francis was dispatched to Petco
Pet Store, located at 169 Parkingway for a report of a
past larceny.
Upon arrival, the of-
ficer met with the store
manager who stated that
a Sun Conure (bird), val-
ued at $600, was missing
and believed to have been
stolen the night before.
The manager said that he
checked the store video
surveillance and watched
as a male suspect entered
the store and stole the
bird.
The manager said that he believed the suspect had
stolen from Petco in the past and even though he wasn't
working when the theft of the bird occurred, he felt con-
fident that he could identify the suspect if he saw him
again.
Officer Francis viewed the video and saw the sus-
pect milling around the store entrance just prior to clos-
ing. The video portrays the suspect as he proceeds to the
bird area, where he is seen on surveillance bending the
cage door open (the cage doors are pad-locked) and
concealing the bird in his jacket. The suspect is then
seen on video surveillance exiting the store.
Officer Francis advised Detective Jason Maclsaac
about the video surveillance and he obtained a copy for
identification and court purposes. He also provided pho-
tos of the suspect to Quincy Police Officers and placed a
photo of the suspect on Massmostwanted.org.
On Monday, Dec. 15, 2008, at approximately
11:20 a.m.. Officer Mike Brandolini was on rou-
tine foot patrol in Quincy Square in the area of Pet-
co when he spotted a male that looked like the bird
thief. The officer took out the photo and not only
did the physical description look similar, the cloth-
ing - a black and white running suit, was a match.
Officer Brandolini followed the suspect as he contacted
the station for assistance.
Detective Sergeant Richard Tapper responded via ra-
dio that he would have Detective Maclsaac respond to
the scene. Officer Braiidolini stopped the suspect at the
comer of Ross Way and Granite Street, then showed the
suspect the photo and informed him that he was being
stopped in regard to the incident.
Officer Steve Cleary and Sergeant Dan Flaherty ar-
rived on scene and confirmed that the suspect matched
the photo. Officer Cleary asked the suspect if he
could search a duffel bag that he was carrying. The sus-
pect consented to the search and inside the bag there
was a small amount of class D marijuana and a pipe.
Detective Maclsaac arrived on scene and asked the
suspect to come to the Police station to be interviewed.
The suspect complied. During the interview, conducted
by Detective Maclsaac and Sergeant Detective Tapper,
the suspect confessed. When asked why he stole the bird,
the suspect said that he had been drinking and did not
know why he stole the bird. He said he felt bad about
the incident but did not know how to return the bird
without getting into trouble. He said the bird was in
good health and in a cage in his home.
The detectives brought the suspect to his home and
the bird was recovered. The suspect, a 45-year-old Quin-
cy resident, was charged with "Larceny over $250.00
(felony) and Wanton Destruction of Property over $250.
The store's birdcage was valued at over $1000.

Smart Tips For Healthy Eating
(ARA) - Food can make
you healthier ~ if you make
good choices. It can seem
hard to make healthy food
choices, particularly if you
are on a budget and short
on time. But there are some
simple steps you can take to
help you and your family eat
healthier.
BuUd a Healthier Plate
Use a grocery list when
shopping for food to help
you choose more fresh veg-
etables, fruits, and whole
grains. Buy leaner meats
(such as chicken, turkey,
and lean cuts of pork or
beef such as sirloin or chuck
roast) and lower fat dairy
products like low-fat or non-
fat (skim) milk and yogurt.
Buy whole grain breads
and cereals. Save money by
buying less soda, sweets and
chips or other snack foods.
Remember that special "di-
etetic" or "diabetic" foods
often cost extra money and
may not be much healthier
than simply following the
suggestions given here.
Also, watch the size of
your portions. You may find
that you are used to eating
portions that count as two
or more servings. It helps
to be able to "eyeball" por-
tion sizes. Here are some
guides:
* Meat, fish, and poultry:
3 ounces, or about the size
of the palm of your hand or
a deck of cards.
* Cheese: 1 ounce,
or about the size of your
thumb.
* Fresh vegetables, milk
and yogurt: 1 cup, or about
the size of a tennis ball.
* Bread: one slice.
Easy Ways to Make
Smart Food Choices
There are lots of ways
you can make smart choices
about your own and your
family's eating habits. Ac-
cording to Ann Albright,
PhD, RD, president, Health
Care and Education of the
American Diabetes Associa-
tion, "One of the most im-
portant things you can do to
start eating more healthfully
is to pick one or two not-so
great items you eat frequent-
ly and find a more nutritious
substitution for those. If you
start with foods you eat more
frequently, then the change
will pack a bigger punch."
Shop Smart
* Set aside some time
to plan your weekly meals.
It may seem like a hassle
at first, but having a plan
(and writing your grocery
list with it in mind) can save
you time, stress, and a lot of
extra trips to the store.
* Stock your pantry
with plenty of healthy ba-
sics, including brown rice,
whole grain pasta, crackers
and cereals. Remember that
fresh fruits and vegetables
are usually healthier than
canned or frozen, but it is
better to have canned or fro-
zen fruits or vegetables than
none at all! When you run
out, put the items on your
grocery list so you'll always
have them on hand.
* Shop only from your
grocery list. Avoid aisles
that contain foods high in
calories but low in vitamins
and minerals such as candy,
cookies, chips and sodas.
Also avoid buying items
promoted at the front of
the store, on the "end-cap"
displays at the end of each
aisle, or at the cash regis-
ter. These foods are usually
low in nutrition. Never shop
when you are hungry and
might be tempted by less
healthy food.
Eat Smart
* Keep fruits and vegeta-
bles washed and cut up for
easy snacking and steam-
ing.
* Canned and frozen
vegetables and fruits are
healthful, quick and conve-
nient. To cut down on the
sodium in vegetables, drain
and rinse canned vegetables
with water before heating
them You can do the same
to cut down on the added
sugar in canned fruits. Bet-
ter yet, buy them packed in
juice.
* Learn how to "Create
Your Plate." When serving
a meal, draw an imaginary
line down the middle of
your plate and another one
across. Fill half of your plate
with leafy greens and other
vegetables. Fill (me quarter
with grains, like whole grain
bread or pasta or brown rice.
Then fill the last quarter with

lean protein such as chicken
or fish.
* Start meals with a salad
or a broth or tomato-based
soup with lots of vegetables.
This helps you eat more
good-for-you veggies while
filling you up before you get
to the higher fat and calorie
courses.
Make healthy snack
foods easy to find in your
kitchen. For example, when
you get home from work or
school, put some fresh car-
rots, grapes, or pretzels out
on the counter instead of
having bags of chips out.
* In restaurants, ask if
meats can be grilled rather
than fried, and request sauc-
es and dressings on the side.
Remember to choose fruit,
salad, or other vegetables
as side items, rather than
French fries. Order a salad
or soup to start and then
share an entrée. Save
money, and lots of calories,
by skipping dessert.

Hiatal Hemia
Tiims Traumatic
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
Our experience with my
husband's hiatal hemia
was traumatic. He was 69
and in excellent health.
After a day of working in
the yard, we sat down to
supper and within three
minutes he was incapaci-
tated with ciiest pain. He
was taken to the hospital
and was given nitroglyc-
erin for the pain. The pain
subsided as quickly as it
came. It took two months
to discover the real prob-
lem: His stomach was in
iiis chest cavity and had
crowded his heart and
lungs. Surg«ry was sched-
uled. Before the sclieduled
date, the pain returned
and he had to have emer-
gency snidery. Please let
people with a hiatal hemia
know about this. — MJi.
ANSWER: People have
been led to believe that a
hiatal hemia is the same as
GERD, gastroesqphageal
reflux — heartburn; it isnH.
They are two different con-
ditions. A hiatal hemia is a
bulging of the stcmiach
through a gap in the
diq>hragm muscle, the mus-
cle that separates the chest
cavity from the abdmninal
cavity. The g^> is the hiatus,
and throujE^ it, the esopha-
gus can pass frcnn the chest
into the abdcxnen to join the
stonaach.
For more information or
to make an appointment, call
the COA at 617-376-1506.
GERD can happen to peo-
ple with a hiatal hemia, and
it can happen to people with-
out a hiatal hemia. Your hus-
band's iHX>blem was a some-
what rare complication of a
hiatal hemia. Iht upward
bulge of his stomach, the
portion in the chest, twisted
and cut off its own blood
supply. That's what caused
his pain. The first time, the
hemia untwisted sponta-
neously and the pain lefL
The second time, the twist
didn't untwist, and emer-
gency surgery was required.
This process is called
strangulation and is a very
serious affair. Thankfully, it
happens only to a very few.
You've provided a chance
for people to leara what a
hiatal hemia is, what a stran-
gulated hiatal hemia is and
what GERD is. We're all
glad that things worked out
well fat your husband.

nia, acid reflux and heart-
bum focuses primarily on

lem and its treatment. Read-

Your Winter
Friends: Hand
Sanitizer and Soap
Here we are in the midst of
December, and no doubt
many of us arc out in the hol-
iday crowds. Maybe we're
going downtown to watch
"Santa" arrive or to enjoy
the tree lighting. Even if
we're avoiding the malls, it
seems that there are crowds
everywhere. Besides the fes-
tive air, there's one other
thing the crowds can bring:
germs.
Many of us have immune
systems that are compro-
mised at least a little. When
we get a "bug." we can take
much longer to shake it off.
Cold weather itself can be
enough of a stressor that we
can be more susceptible to
germs.
Think about all the places
germs can be found: gro-
cery-cart handles, the
change a retail cloic hands
you, doorknobs in public
places, library books, a bor-
rowed pen.
Here are three tips to keep
from getting sick:
• bivest in a little bottle of
alcohol-based hand sanitizer
and use it liberally. Scrub
until your hands are dry. (1
buy one small bottle to carry
in my pocket and a larger
one to keep at home to refill
the smaller one.) If you're
going to spend time with
grandchildren, buy dicm
their own "special" foamy
hand sanitizer.
• To avoid germs, doctors
say it's especially important
not to touch your hands to
your mouth, nose or eyes.
♦ When you get home from
being out. wash your hands
with warm water and an
antibacterial soap.
To get through the rest of
the winter without illness,
stay warm, get enough rest
and make sure your diet is
adequate. Ask your doctor
whether you should take a
daily multiple vitamin. Ask
aboin getting a flu shot too,
if yt u haven't already had
one.

EATING YOUR WAY TO BETTER GUMS
If you are kx>king for a di-
eftary approach to gum dis-
ease prevention that augments
brushing, flossing, and regular
professional checkups/cJean-
ing, researchers may have an
answer. According to a recertt
study, people who ate two ounc-
es of yogurt daily nearly halved
their risk of advanced gum dis-
ease. This is wek»me news
for a problem that afflicts one in
seven people under the age of
50 and one in three over 50. Ad-
vanced gum disease, which be-
gins with gingivitis, or inflamma-
tion around the gums, can lead
to bone bss and cause pockets
to devetop between te^ and
gums. Yogurt's lactobadlli bac-
teria feed on sugar and pro-
duce lactK ackj, whk^h attacks
the disease-causing bacteria.
Cak3um-rich foods, such as
cheese, also boost tooth health.
Unfortunately, periodontal-
related problans are often
discovered after they have per-
sisted for an extended period of
time. Proper oral hygiene, daily
dental care and regular dental
check-ups will minimize ttie risk
of gum disease. We deliver a
high level of quality dental care.
All the members of our staff are
dedkated to serving you - we
will be happy to answer any
questions you may have. Call

Your bedroom redecorat-
ing project might just mean
that you'll find yourself a
little happier, a bit more joy-
ful and most importantly,
at peace with yourself and
your surroundings.
Decorating your master
bedroom is probably more
fun than decorating any oth-
er room in your home. Why?
Because it's the one room in
your home where you can
truly allow your personality
to shine.
Begin with three easy
steps.
1: Start by visualizing
and listing all the types of
activities you'll want to
conduct in your "get-away"
haven. Perhaps it's writing
in your journal, reading,
knitting, watching movies
or contemplating your plans
for tomorrow - whatever
the activity, it's important
to think through the specific
things that will make you
the happiest.
2: Look at your bedroom
space with a critical eye.
Can your bedroom accom-
modate all the activities you
listed?
3: As with most all deco-
rating projects, one of your
first priorities is locking in a
color scheme. Color sets the
stage and is truly the back-
drop for all your furnish-
ings, fabrics, accessories
and lighting
Make Color
Considerations
• Use color unequally for
better proportion and bal-
ance. While this sounds like
a complete contradiction,
it truly works. Consider a
deeper, more dramatic hue
to create an accent wall be-
hind your bed. Then, by col-
oring your adjoining walls in
a lighter shade of the same
color, you've created a more
visually interesting space.
• Use lighter colors to
create a feeling of spacious-
ness. Paler shades naturally
reflect light rays instead of
absorbing them. A lighter
color palette would be par-
ticularly important if your
bedroom isn't quite as large
as you'd like.
• Use bright, strong col-
ors to create a warm, cozy

feeling. If your bedroom is
large and spacious and has
very high ceilings, warmer
colors will help "humanize"
your space, making if feel
more livable and welcom-
ing.
• Pay attention to your
room's architectural fea-
tures. If you wish to empha-
size interesting architectural
features, enhance them with
stronger contrasting colors.
And, conversely, if your
desire is to camouflage ar-
chitectural defects, then a
more neutral paint color of
the same tonal value will
help blend your walls, ceil-
ing and floors and hide those
unhappy features.
Light Up Your New Room
Now that you've got
some great color ideas for
your new bedroom retreat,
the amount of artificial and
natural light in your room
will be the defining factor in
your ultimate color choice.
"Lighting plays such an
important role in any re-
decorating project," says
Sue Pelley, national spokes-
person for INTERIORS by
Decorating Den. "I recom-
mend that my clients take
stock of how much natural
light is entering the room,
and for how long a pe-
riod of time. If their room
is bathed in sunny natural
light, I recommend working
with a cooler color scheme.
And conversely, if a room
doesn't enjoy a lot of natural

F/r5f Season In Patriot League
Learning Curve For
NO Girls' Basketball
By SEAN BRENNAN
This year's North Quincy
Red Raiders girls' basketball
team may have a difficult
time matching the results
of last year successful and
history-making squad.
The 2007-2008 season
saw the program win a sec-
ond consecutive Atlantic
Coast League North Divi-
sion title, advance to the
program's first-ever appear-
ance in the Division I South
Sectionals and finished the
season with a 15-6 overall
record.
The 2008-09 Raiders will
not have the opportunity to
make it a three-peat in the
ACL this season, as the
team, along with every oth-
er North Quincy team this
winter, will be playing in the
Patriot League. This change
in leagues means that North
will have to compete on the
court in league play against
teams from Hanover, Ran-
dolph, Rockland, Middle-
boro, Scituate, Hingham,
Silver Lake, Whitman-Han-
son, Duxbury, Pembroke
and Quincy. A new slate of
challengers for a team that
over the last two years dom-
inated the ACL North.
"We are new to the Patri-
ot League this winter and we
have not seen most of these
teams," said NQ head coach
Michael Jorgenson. 'Teams
like Whitman-Hanson and
Quincy are familiar to us but
the rest of the league sched-
ule will be a learning curve
until we get a hold of these
teams tendencies, players
and style of play.
"One positive about the
league change is that we no
longer have to make those
long road trips. I believe
that Middleboro (about 40
miles away) is as far as we
travel this year."
These Raiders will also
have to overcome the loss
(to graduation) of several
key players off last year's
team. Included in this group
are the Goreham sisters, Re-
becca and Rachel , Mary Kate
Stille, Simone Leary, Paige
Bonanni, Kasey O'Connell
and Kerry Coughlin. These
seven were instrumental in
the success of the Raiders
the last two seasons (31-11
overall), and will be missed,
but according to Jorgenson,
this year's team, which has
nine seniors on the roster,
was ready to go when the
season tipped off Dec. 16
against Pembroke HS (a
win).
"The first game of the
year is always interesting,"
said Jorgenson. "But we
were able to get the ball
inside and we took control
in the second half. We had
to deal with some injuries
that affected our ball han-
dling ability but we adjusted
to that as the game moved
along.
"Last year's team had
such a great chemistry. I am
not saying this year will be a
rebuilding season, it will not
be, but we need to rebuild
our team chemistry between
our returning players and
new players. Once they get
to know each other on the
court we should be much
improved. I am looking to
my senior captains and the
more experienced players to
step up and fill that role."
Seniors Siobhan Camell
and Kathleen Lynch are
team captains.
"Siobhan and Kathleen
are both great players and
should provide the team
with leadership and game
experience. The younger
and less experienced players
will learn a lot from both of
them."
Fellow senior Catherine
O'Connell ( 17 points against
Pembroke) should also be a
major contributor this win-
ter for the Red Raiders.
"Catherine really started
to play well late last sea-
son for us," said Jorgenson.
"She is going to be a big part
of success this season."
Other seniors on the roster
include Kristina Anderson,
Amy Carchedi, Molly Clif-
ford, Brittany Folkins, Jess
Howlett and Julie Lynch.
Underclassmen who should
see playing time include ju-
niors Sanuni Bonanni and
Cara Murtagh and sopho-
mores Emily Gray, Uyen Vu
and Montana McBimey.
The Raiders will be play-
ing in the Patriot League's
Fisher Division against
teams from Hanover, Mid-
dleboro, Rockland, Pem-
broke and Randolph High
Schools and will be chal-
lenged early in the sched-
ule with consecutive home
games against Hanover and
Randolph before the Christ-
mas holiday break.
North was scheduled to
host Hanover, weather per-
mitting, Dec. 19 and hosted
Randolph on Monday. The
Raiders will compete in the
Notre Dame Academy Holi-
day Tournament on Dec.
29-30 before kicking off
the New Year with an away
game on Jan. 2 versus Rock-
land HS.
The first of two games
against Quincy HS will be
on Jan. 9 (NQHS, 5: 30 p.m.).
The Raiders and Presidents
will meet again on Feb. 7.

ARIES (March 21 to Apnl
19) Careful. Lamb. Don't let
yoiu" generous nature lead to
some serious overspending
as you contemplate your hol-
iday gift-giving. Your social
life kicks off into high gear
by week's end.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) A positive attitude helps
you weather annoying but
unavoidable changes in hoh-
day plans. Aspects favor new
friendships and reinforce-
ment of existing relation-
ships.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Demands on your energy
level could be much higher
than usual as you prepare for
the upcoming holidays. Be
sure to pace yourself.
Friends and family will be
happy to help.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Don't allow a suddenly
icy reaction from a friend or
family member to continue
without learning what
caused it — and what can be
done to restore that once
warm and caring relation-
ship.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) A relationship seems lo
be unraveling, mostly from a
lack of attention. It might be
a good idea to ease up on
whatever else you're doing
so you can spend more time
working to mend it.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) New facts
emerge that not only help
explain the recent rift with a
trusted colleague, but also
might provide a chance to
wipe the slate clean and
make a fresh start in your
friendship.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) A family mem-
ber's personal situation is,
fortunately, resolved in time

for you to get back into your
hectic round of holiday
preparations. An old friend
might bring a new friend into
your life.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21 ) Pace yourself
in meeting holiday pressures
and workplace demands to
avoid winding up with a
frayed temper and a Scorpi-
an stinger that lashes out at
puzzled kith, kin and col-
leagues.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21) A
financial matter requires
close attention. Also, news
from a trusted source pro-
vides the means to help sort
out a long-standing slate of
confusion and put it into per-
spective.
CAPRICORN (Decembo-
22 to January 19) This is a
good time to reinforce fami-
ly ties. Make it a priority to
assess and resolve all out-
standing problems. Start the
upcoming holiday season
with a full measure of love.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) Don't be
pressured into a so-called
solid-gold investment. Wait
until the holiday distractions
are over. Then take a harder
look at it. You might find that
the "gold" is starting to flake
off.
PISCES (February 19 to
March 20) A former friend
might be trying to heal the
breach between you by using
a mutual friend as an inter-
mediary. Best advice: Keep
an open mind despite any
lingering bad feelings.
BORN THIS WEEK: You
have a way of saying the
right thing at the right lime.
Your friendships are deep
and lasting.

The season of Christmas is sacred and is
observed by Christians all over the world as
commemorating the coming of the King. It
is then that we devote ourselves to the joys
of our friendships and to the contemplation
of spiritual things. Our hearts are mdlowed,
SCOTT DEWARE our spirits are lifted, and our good will is
broadened. It is the season at giving, giving not only to our loves ones
but also to others who are less fortunate than we are.
The message of New Year's Day is,'Think of the passing of time."
The message of Easter is, "Think of immortality." The message
of Thanksgiving is, "Think of your blessings." But the message of
Christmas is, "Think of others."
GeneraDy, at no other time during the year are we so generous
towards others as during the Chrtetmas season. Streets are crowded
with package-laden shoppers who have been spending their time and
money on gifts for others ... Yet it is possible to have Christmas all
around us and still not share in it with heart and mind.
When God measures a man, He puts the measuring tape around
the heart. As we wrap our gifts this year, let us make sure that we put
something of ourselves into each one.
Christmas joy springs fhMn the loving and generous heart.

Mid-Term Address Jan. 5
Koch Sees
Opportunities ,
Challenges In '09
Mayor Thomas Koch
will deliver his first Mid-
Term Address Monday, Jan.
5 at 10 a.m. with a message
that "confronts the challeng-
es ahead, but shows clear
optimism" about Quincy's
future, he said.
"We undoubtedly face
historic challenges as a com-
muiiiij , but 1 believe we also
have historic opportunities
on the table. We will be talk-
ing about both," Koch said,
giving a general preview of
his speech before the City
Council Monday morning.
Koch did not offer many
specifics of the address, but
said that the "agenda and
tone for 2009 will be made
very clear" by his talk.
"It will be a very impor-
tant - and difficult - year,
and we will not be sugar-
coating anything, Koch said.
"But I am confident that by
continuing to work hard to-
gether with the City Coun-
cil, the School Committee,
and our state delegation,
that we are well prepared to
make tough decisions and
emerge from this period a
stronger community."
Koch said his address will

ing to end the internal strife

financial operations, a cost-
saving new trash contract

Taxes 9 Public Safety, Billboard Top Local News Stories
By TOM HENSHAW
It wasn't a good year for
the newly minted adminis-
tration of Mayor Thomas
Koch — and the taxpayers
of Quincy.
What began as a glorious
opening in the grand ball-
room of the Marriott Hotel
in Quincy descended into a
citizenry irate over a hefty
2008
tax hike and a perceived ex-
travagance in office.
The residential tax rate
for Fiscal 2009 went up 15
percent, more than $500 for
the average homeowner,
pending state approval, and
$60,000 in City Hall reno-
vations, including new of-
In Review
fice carpeting and a 47-inch
TV, had to be rescinded.
Controversy erupted over
the public safety chiefs with
controversial Police Chief
Robert Crowley replaced
by Paul Keenan. Keenan, a
25-year department veteran
and the mayor's brother-in-
law, was selected the city's
17 police chief by an ad hoc
conunittee.
The city's other public
safety post - fire chief - was
still vacant. One candidate
to replace retired Fire Chief
Tim Pettinelli was suing the
mayor at year's end.
Residents of Ward 4 were
upset over an 82-foot neon
lighted billboard based on
Willard Street that towered
above traffic on the South-
east Expressway. They
called it a "blight" on their
West Quincy neighborhood.
Two members of the
School Conmiittee quit for
better jobs with the city. Jim
Timmins and Kevin Mul-
vey were replaced by Nick
Puleo and Ron Mariano, re-
turning to the board after a
two years hiatus.
And John Adams , the sec-
ond president of the United
States, received a boost as
a tourist attraction with the
showing of the seven-part
mini-series "John Adams"
starring Paul Giamatti and
Laura Linney on HBO.
Here, month by month, is
what happened in Quincy in
the year 2008:

Timmins' Advisory Finds
No Conflict For Councillors
As Elks, B J.'s Members
$2 Million Lost In Tax
Shelter, Quirk Claims
City Solicitor James
Timmins informed city
councillors Dec. 15 that
neither membership in the
Elks nor membership in
BJ's Wholesale Club cre-
ates a conflict of interest for
members considering proj-
ects affecting either club.
Councillors had re-
ceived applications for
Special Permits from both
entities when City Council
President Jay Davis asked
for a ruling on the member-
ship issue on Dec. 10.
In his advisory, Timmins
directed that councillors
who are members of the
Quincy Lodge of Elks pro-
vide oral and written disclo-
sure prior to considering
current issues.
As for membership in
BJ. Wholesale Club, Inc.,
Timmins dismissed that as
"not a concern" under the
state's ethics statute.
Tinmiins addressed the
issue of Elks membership in
detail. He noted that council
members were considering
an application for an expan-
sion of the Elks headquar-
ters on Quarry Street.
Citing decisions from the
JAMES TIMMINS
State Ethics Conmiission
and the law, Timmins con-
cluded that membership in
the Elks did not constitute a
sufficient 'financial interest'
as to prohibit involvement
by councillors who are Elks
members.
"If you serve in any ca-
pacity at the Elks beyond
your mere membership,
then I would advise you to
disclose that service and to
refrain from participating,"
Timmins stated in his re-
port.
"If you are merely a
member, you are not in a po-
sition to derive a 'direct or
reasonably foreseeable' fi-
nancial benefit. . . . You may,
therefore, participate in the
permitting process."
In his explanation,
Timmins determined that
any officer, director, trustee,
partner or employee of an
organization, such as the
Elks, would have a "direct
or reasonably foreseeable fi-
nancial interest." Members
do not have such an inter-
est.
Timmins quoted the legal
interpretation of the statute
that is intended to assure the
public that a public employ-
ee's official judgments and
actions "will not be clouded
by potentially competing
private (financial) inter-
ests."
After Timmins' explana-
tion and a presentation by
Elks officers, all nine coun-
cillors voted Dec. 15 to ap-
prove the Special Permit for
the Elks expansion 9,740
sq., ft, addition.
Councillors will consid-
er the B J. 's application for
a Special Permit at a later
date.
Councillors Michael
McFarland, Doug Gutro
(Ward 5) and Brian
McNamee (Ward 6) dis-
closed their Elks member-
ship prior to the discussion
and provided signed disclo-
sure statements to that ef-
fect.
Auto dealer Daniel Quirk
has filed suit in U. S. District
Court in Boston claiming a
financial adviser bilked him
out of $2 million in an al-
leged scheme to avoid capi-
tal gains taxes.
The suit asserts that
Edward Okun, 57, took his
clients for as much as $150
million which he spent on,
among other things , vacation
homes, a 131 -foot yacht and
a 27-year-old girl friend,
Okun is currently living
in Virginia where he is in
custody following his in-
dictment by a federal grand
jury on charges of mail and
wire fraud, money launder-
ing and cash smuggling.
The suit says that Okun
set up a tax shelter under a
law that permits people to
avoid the capital gains tax
on the sale of real estate by
buying property of similar
or greater value within 180
days.
While waiting the second
sale, the proceeds of the first
sale are given up to an ac-
count listed to a third party
known as the "exchange fa-
cilitator," the Okim tax shel-
ter.
Quirk sold his prop-
erty for $2 million and
transferred the proceeds
to Okun's company, AEC
Exchange of Boston, which
placed them in an account at
Wachovia Bank and ignored
requests for their return.
The suit names the trou-
bled Wachovia Bank as de-
fendant, claiming that the
bank failed to adequately
protect the money in about
160 accounts while collect-
ing fees for wire transfers in
and out of the them.
Wachovia is already the
target of a $60 billion law
suit filed by Citibank and
has been linked to money
laundering for Mexicao and
Colombian drug rings .^
The suit seeks restitution
of the $150 million, includ-
ing Dan Quirk's $2 million.

Koch Inaugurated Mayor,
McCarthy Elected
School Vice Chairman
Cont'd From Page 1
JANUARY
Tom Koch was inaugurat-
ed the 33"* mayor of Quincy,
pledging a renewed fight
on drug abuse, new taxable
development outside the
neighborhoods and a "more
open, responsive and ... ef-
ficient" government.
*To all of you," he said,
"know my door is always
open."
Throughout his inaugural
address, he urged the people
of Quincy to get involved
quoting John F. Kennedy:
'Today, every citizens, re-
gardless of his interest in
politics, holds office."
"Most importantly,"
said Koch, "to our citizens,
young and old, from so
many diverse cultures and
backgrounds, please know
that City Hall is the people's
house and I am only its tem-
porary steward."
About 1,000 people at-
tended the inauguration in
the ballroom of the Marriott
Hotel, including five former
mayors of Quincy and the
newly elected mayors of
Braintree and Weymouth.
Ward 4 Councillor Jay
Davis was elected president
of the City Council, urging
the city to stress its assets in
luring the offspring of baby
boomers to live and work in
Quincy.
"These children of baby
boomers desire to be closer
to work and recreation,," he
said. "We need to be proac-
tive with this group, promot-
ing events and encouraging
2008
businesses that swerve this
demographic. Quincy is a
great place to do business."
Dave McCarthy was
elected vice chairman of
the School Committee, em-
phasizing small class size
as the number on priority
along with a dropout pre-
vention program, full day
kindergarten, early literacy
and advanced placement
programs.
Outgoing Mayor William
Phelan noted he was leaving
office with the city's larg-
est stabilization fund, a free
cash reserve of $2.6 mil-
lion, a bond rating that was
increased twice as well as
the start of construction of
a new Quincy High School
and plans for revitalization
of downtown Quincy.
"Our success is no acci-
dent," he said in his farewell
message. "It was the result
of prudent financial plan-
ning and a discipline of best
practices financial manage-
ment."
The Goliath crane, a land
mark on Quincy's skyline
for more than 30 years at
the Fore River Shipyard was
sold to Daewoo Shipbuilding
and Marine Engineering of
South Korea for use in its
shipyard in Romania.
Tom Clasby, who re-
signed in October over dif-
ferences with then-Mayor
Phelan, was reappointed
director of the Council on
Aging by Mayor Koch.
In Review
City Councillors Daniel
Raymondi and Joseph
Finn challenged the new
real estate values for 1000
Southern Artery where the
three buildings housing the
elderly increased by $8.2
million or 20 per cent in
value over the past three
years.
At Large City Councillor
Michael McFarland was
named superintendent-di-
rector of the Norfolk County
Agricultural High School in
Walpole where he had been
business manager for the
past six years.
Mayor Koch named a
citizens' task force to un-
dertake what he called the
most sweeping overhaul of
Quincy's zoning and build-
ing rules in recent history.
"Everything is on the
table," he said. 'Targeting
large scale development
in single-family neighbor-
hoods is certainly part of
this but we are going to look
much deeper. The goal is to
preserve our neighborhoods
now and shape the neigh-
borhoods we want 20 years
from now."
Civil rights activist Ron
Bell, the governor's direc-
tor of Civic Engagement,
was the featured speaker
at the 12* annual Martin
Luther King Jr. Breakfast
Celebration which attracted
350 persons to North Quincy
High School.

What You Won't See In 2009
The so-called experts on just about everything are
telling us what to expect in 2009.
I'll leave that to them.
Being no expert on that heavy stuff, I would like to
predict a few things I think we won't be seeing next
year. Like:
You won't see Mayor Tom Koch looking for a tax
rate increase.
You won't see Frank McCauley changing his mind
about retirement and returning to the campaign trail.
And you won't see Sandra telling him he should.
(Frank is content writing his Quincy 's Yesterdays col-
umn but keeps a sharp eye on City Hall.)
You won't see Dan Raymondi with a loss for
words.
You won't see City Clerk Joe Shea saying, "We
should go back to paper ballots. It was more fun that
way."
You won't see Ron Delia Chiesa leading a Rock n'
Roll band.
You won't see Leo Kelly, chairman of the city's
recycling Evergreen Program, decorating an artificial
Christmas tree. (Better not, Leo.)
You won't see former Mayor Arthur Tobin, now
Court Magistrate at Quincy District Court, not helping
someone in need. (And doing it quietly.)
You won't see Councillor Mike McFarland with a
frown. That's a permanent smile.
You won't see Rhonda Merrill, city-purchasing
agent, saying: "Always give it to the highest bidder."
You won't see Health Commissioner Drew Scheele
saying: "It's okay, you really don't have to wash your
hands."
You won't see Fr. Bill McCarthy or John Yazwinski
closing the door on anyone at Father Bill's Place.
You won't see Kevin Coughlin leaving a shopping
cart on the sidewalk.
You won't see a bar without someone standing out-
side puffing on a cigarette. Even on a frigid winter day
or night.
And one thing for sure. You won't see 2008 again.
A tough year for many who probably would like to
say, "good bye, good riddance."
Hopefully, 2009 will be kinder.
Wishing you a Happy, Happy, Healthy New Year.

A CHRISTMAS STORY
Did you find that something special for that some-
one special this Christmas?
It's not easy especially this year with all that snow
and ice fouling up last minute shoppers.
But getting the right gift for the right person isn't
easy regardless of the weather. And sometimes the re-
cipient might not understand the meaning of the gift.
Like the story in "Stewardship," a publication dis-
tributed with the St. John's Church bulletin.
If you haven't already seen it, I think it will make
you smile.
The article, published by Parish Publishing LLC,
goes like this:
This is the delightful story of the poor fellow who
went to Texas and struck it rich. He became a million-
aire.
Wanting to do something for his mother and know-
ing she loved pets, he walked into the pet store to
browse for a gift. He came upon a mynah bird singing
in its cage.
The price tag on the cage was $25,000.
"How come that mynah bird costs so much?" he
asked the proprietor.
The owner was quick to tell him "That bird costs
$25,000 because it can recite the Lord's Prayer, the
twenty third Psalm and the Gettysburg Address.
"Not only that, it can sing the Star Spangled Ban-
ner.
"Wow, that's a lot of money but nothing is too good
for my mother. Pack it up; send it Federal Express
and see to it that it arrives the Saturday before Christ-
mas."
When Christmas Day came, the chap was so excited
he could hardly wait to call his mother.
"Merry Christmas, Mom."
"Thank you, Son."
"Well, did you get my gift"
"Yes, Son. Thank you."
"Did you like it. Mom."
"Yes , Son , it was delicious ."
Annual John Hancock Plunge
Jan. 24 At WoUaston Beach
Are you ready to take the
Plunge for Interfaith Social
Services?
The third annual John
Hancock Birthday Plunge
into the frigid waters off
Wollaston Beach will take
place Saturday, Jan. 24,
at 9:30 a.m. with a goal of
$9,000 to benefit the many
programs at ISS.
The first two Plunges
were sponsored by the
Quincy Beaches and Coast-
al Conmiission and held at
Mound Street Beach and
last year raised more than
$5,000.
This year the commis-
sion is joined by the Friends
of Wollaston Beach and the
State Department of Conser-
vati(m and Recreation and
the event moved to Wollas-
ton Beach.
Participants can have
their choice of five Plunges
in varying degrees of icy
challenge — Full Plunger,
Waist Wader, Knee Higher,
Dunkin' Toe-nut and, new
this year, "I Would If I
Could."
No, the latter category
was not created for the ben-
efit of Leo Kelly, chairman
of the Quincy Beaches and
Coastal Conunission.
Anyone collecting pledg-
es totaling more than $75
will receive a free Plunge
T-shirt. The shirts will also

Scenes From Yesterday
Baker^s Ydcbt Bftsia, Quinc^ Point, Mas§.
THIS IS A 1920's postcard view of the Baker Yacht Basin
on the Town River in Quincy Point. This well-protected
deepwater anchorage was used to store excursion steam-
boats during the winter. Lorenzo D. Baker, Jr. had an
extensive yacht building and repair business there for
many years. His father was a sea captain from Wellfleet
on Cape Cod and was well known as one of the founders
of the United Fruit Company in Boston. Captain Baker
had bought the land here in Quincy to build a shipping
facility for his fleet of freighters that brought bananas
from Central America. He had planned to build a rail-
road from here across Washington Street to connect with
the Fore River Railroad for shipping the fruit through-
out the northeast. He died before the facility was built.

Thanks Raymond!, Colleagues
For Ban On Knives Sales To Minors
I would like to applaud
Councillor Dan Raymondi
and the rest of the city coun-
cillors who supported the
ordinance banning the sale
of knives to minors.
Knives are the second
most dangerous weapon
in school violence; second
only to guns. I would also
like to congratulate the par-
ent for having brought this
matter to Councillor Ray-
mondi's attention. I find it
unbelievable that a child can
buy soda, chips and knives
all in the same breath.
It should be remem-
bered that school violence is
prevalent today as well as in
years past. This year alone
we have had several schools
in lockdown after finding
ammunition in the schools.
On November 20 there was
an actual stabbing.
In the school massacre
at Columbine High School,
it was reported by the survi-
vors in the library "that after
killing several students with
a gun it was heard that Har-
ris and Klebold commented
that they no longer found a
thrill in shooting their vic-
tims." Klebold was quoted
to have said maybe "we
should start knifing people,
that might be more fun." Al-
though no one was stabbed
at Columbine the shoot-
ers had multiple knives on
them.
At Virginia Tech the
shooter had multiple knives
Flags Missing On World War II Memorial
on his possession. They ac-
tually showed him with a
knife pointed to his neck.
I know we can't stop all
the knives and guns from
being sold to minors. This
potentially is a good start;
let's get the knives out of
the hands of our children
and help keep the violence
out of our schools.
Thank you. Councillor
Raymondi.

^Comics For A Cure' To Benefit
Youngster With Pediatric Cancer
Kendra Sullivan Scholarship Recipient
Five nationally-known
area comedians will come
together to raise money for
a 14-month-old girl who has
been diagnosed with pediat-
ric cancer, specifically Neu-
roblastoma, age the age of
two months.
The benefit, called
"Comics for a Cure," will
be held Friday, Jan. 9 at the
Cutler Majestic Theatre in
Boston.
The benefit was con-
ceived by Tracy Harding, a
26-year-old Quincy resident
and the aunt of the little girl
fighting pediatric cancer.
"I can't even begin to un-
derstand what the journey is
like for all parents of chil-
dren with pediatric cancer,
or for the children, survi-
vors and angels of this dis-
ease - I won't pretend that
I do," said Harding. "I cre-
ated this event for them, as
well as the amazing nurses,
doctors, hospice workers,
etc. that made the choice to
work with these children.
"My hope," Harding
said, "is that 'Comics for a
Cure' will raise awareness,
much needed funds and be
an awesome night of com-
edy for this very deserving
group."
The line-up of comedi-
ans includes event host Joe
List, Nick DiPaolo, Guy
Gulman, Kevin Knox and
Kelly MacFarland.
Event proceeds will
benefit the Children's Neu-
roblastoma Cancer Foun-
dation, an organization ded-
icated to funding research
and clinical trials as well
as educating and support-
ing families who have been
affected by this deadly dis-
ease.
Tickets for "Comics for
a Cure" are on sale through

Officer Jamie Cochrane Road Race Committee CoUIlcil VotCS 6-3 To Override
Donates $2^00 To Toys For Tots Program w^ ^^ t-^ . • g^ rw
^ ^ Koch^s Decision On Zoning
TOYS FOR TOTS DONATION - The Officer Jamie Cochrane Road Race Committee recentiy
donated $2,500 dollars to the United States Marie Corps, to aid their local efforts for the Toys
for Tots Pribram. This donation was made in memory of William F. Degan, who served in the
United States Marine Corps 1972-1975, and was a Lieutenant Colonel in the USMC Reserves
from 1975 until his death. He became a Deputy United States Marshal in 1978. Deputy Degan
was killed in the line of duty in 1992. The donation was made in appreciation of the Degan Fami-
ly and the William F. Degan Road Race Committee. The Degan Conmiittee was instrumental in
making the first Officer Jamie Cochrane Road Race a huge success. In addition, in the spring
of 2009 the Cochrane Road Race will be awarding several college scholarships to graduating
seniors whom are residents of Quincy. The Officer Jamie Cochrane Race Conmiittee thanks
everyone for their continued support and wish all a happy and safe holiday season. On hand for
the donation were (from left): Boston Police Officer Anthony Perella, Degan 's nephew; Quincy
Police Chief Paul Keenan; Ed and Elaine Cochrane, Officer Cochrane's parents; Officer Dennis
Keenan, Det. Sgt. Jennifer Tapper; Ted Hartnett, Cochrane's uncle; Staff Sgt. Gaddi, USMC;
Officer Greg Hartnett, Cochrane's cousin; and LCPL Bleiler, USMC.
By LAURA GRIFFIN
City Councillors voted
6-3 on Dec. 15 to approve
high-density zoning for
large parcels in Business C
districts despite rejection of
the same zoning change by
Mayor Thomas Koch.
Councillor Michael
MacFarland revived the is-
sue at the Dec. 15 meeting
with the intention of over-
riding Koch's negative de-
termination.
This is the second vote
on the controversial is-
sue which was initially ap-
proved Nov. 10 by the same
councillors with the same
vote count.
However, City Solicitor
James Tinunins has said
the council can not override
the mayor on a zoning is-
sue. Tinunins stated that the
mayor must sign all zoning
revisions into law.
According • to City
Solicitor James Timmins,
Koch must sign all zoning
changes. If he does not sign
the change, the zoning revi-
sion can not become law.
Timmins has asked the
state attorney general's of-
fice to rule on his interpre-
tation but, as of Monday,
he had no decision from the
state.
McFarland sought the
vote Dec. 15 in order to stay
within the statutory time
limit for a council override.
McFarland initiated the
Business C zoning change
in Dec. 2007 and refiled
the motion several times in
2008.
Proponents of the change
support a "Smart Growth"
concept favoring heavy den-
sity near public transporta-
tion and inner cities while
opponents fear high rise
development will overrun
residential districts where
parcels, such as former car
dealerships, are now vacant.
In his official decision,
Koch cited the current Land
Court case involving Marina
Bay residents and O'Connell
Development Corp.
In that case, Marina
Bay residents believe
O'Connell's plan to de-
velop a high-rise apartment
building on property be-
tween Marina Bay and The
Moorings will adversely
affect the Marina Bay and
North Quincy community.
The current zoning
would allow 25 units on the
1.5 acre property while the
revised zoning would allow
80 units.
In announcing his de-
cision in early December,
Koch said he would not
interfere in an active court
case prior to the judge's de-
cision.
Koch, also, said the
matter will be addressed
when his zoning committee
files its recommendations
for zoning improvements
throughout the city.
In addition to McFarland,
Councillors Joseph Finn,
John Keenan, Jay Davis
(Ward 4), Leo Kelly (Ward
1), and Kevin Coughlin
(Ward 3) supported the
change.
Ward 6 Councillor Brian
McNamee has repeatedly
outlined the concerns of
residents in his area, partic-
ularly, those in Marina Bay.
McNamee, along with
Ward 5 Councillor Doug
Gutro and Ward 2 Councillor
Daniel Raymondi have re-
peatedly opposed the zoning
change.
Community Preservation Committee To Hold Public Meeting Jan. 8
The City of Quincy *s
Preservation Committee
(CPC) will be holding a pub-
lic meeting in the Council
Chambers in City Hall on
Jan. 8 at 7 p.m.
The purpose of the meet-
ing will be to elicit feed-
back and suggestions from
Quincy residents regarding
the Community Preservation
Act (CPA) funds. The
Massachusetts' state law
mandates that CPC's around
the state work to encour-
age dialogue about how this
money is spent each year.
The meeting on Jan. 8
will be an opportunity for
Quincy residents to weigh
in on how CPA money has
been spent so far and recom-
mend ways to spend it in the
future.
Quincy voters adopted
the CPA in November of
GRUMPY
WHITES
MONDAY
MAPNESS
2006. Since that time over
$6.5 million of taxpayer
money has been spent or
bonded. This money went
to buy over 1 8 acres of land
for open space, help to cre-
ate or rehabilitate afford-
able housing units, improve
recreational facilities and to
restore historic sites.
For example, $3.3 mil-
lion went to buy 13 acres of
land to expand Faxon Park.
In North Quincy, $220,000
went to assist in the creation
of several affordable rental
units. The Church of the
Presidents will be getting its
belfry rehabilitated.
This year there will
likely be about $ 1 .5 million
available in new funding
for CPA spending. The first
$900,000 will pay down the
debt on the bond, leaving
about $600,000 to allocate
towards open space preser-
vation, affordable housing,
recreational park expan-
sions, or historic site resto-
ration.
Applications are avail-
able at the City Solicitor's
office or on the City's web-
site. For consideration this
year, the applications are
due back at the Solicitor's
of^ce no later than Feb. 27,
2009.

Mail, Drop Off Nominations By Wednesday
Dec. 31 Last Day For Sun
Citizen Of Year Nominations
Today (Wednesday) is
the last day to submit nomi-
nations for The Quincy Sun 's
25* annual "Citizen of the
Year" award.
After nominations close
Dec. 31, a judging panel
will be selected to make the
final choice from nomina-
tions submitted.
Established in 1985, the
award recognizes an indi-
vidual for outstanding com-
munity service or a special
achievement.
Last year, Robert and
Gloria Noble were honored
for their service to worthy
community causes for more
than a half century. They are
the first husband and wife
team - and the 24* and 25*
recipients - of the award.
The Nobles were selected
for the honor by a panel of
judges from among 44 nom-
inees submitted by Quincy
Sun readers.
Again this year, Sun read-
ers may nominate the person
they feel is most deserving
of the award.
A nomination ballot to
help the selection process
appears in this week's issue
of The Quincy Sun (to the
right on this page).
If you know someone you
would like to see recognized
with the 2008 award, fill out
the ballot and mail it to:
The Quincy Sun
Attn: Citizen of the Year
1372 Hancock St.
Quincy, MA 02169
Ballots can also be
dropped off at The Sun of-
fice at the above address by
Dec. 31.
Those submitting nomi-
nations should identify
themselves. They can also
attach to the ballot a letter
detailing the reason for the
their nomination.
Nominees can be some-
one in elective office, a
member of an appointed
board, a clergy member, a
teacher or school adminis-
trator, a police or firefighter,
someone in the business
community, a sports figure
or an "unsung" neighbor,
friend or community activ-
ist who has given freely of
his or her time to a worthy
project or cause.
Those nominated in
the past are eligible to be
nominated again this year.
Since this is not a popular-
ity contest, each nominee
has an equal chance of be-
ing selected regardless of
the number of nominations
received. Anyone nominat-
ed just once has the same
chance of being the award
recipient.
The name of the winner
will be announced in The
Quincy Sun in January.

A Job Well Done
On Monday, Dec. 22, 2008, at approximately 7:45
p.m.. Officer James Flaherty was dispatched to the area
of the A J. Wright store on report of an unwanted person
in a motor vehicle.
Upon arrival, the offi-
cer interviewed the female
caller and her friend, who
stated they were lost while
looking for the store, so
they pulled up to a group
of people of similar age in
front of the Quincy Center
MBTA station to ask for di-
rections.
At this point, the man
opened the right rear door
and jumped in and said,
"I'll take you there."
The victim stated this horrified her and her passenger
and that she was "speechless and scared." She drove off
following the directions that the mysterious male suspect
provided. The suspect then pulled out a bag that held a
substance that appeared to be cocaine and said, "I think
this is good for a gram, 1 wish 1 could smoke this with
you."
The victim became increasingly fearftil and as they
neared the store, she pulled into the first space she could
find, parked in a haphazard manner and the victim and
her friend both got out immediately. The victim told the
suspect to get out of the car and he responded, "I'll wait
here."
Both victims walked briskly into the store and called
the police. The officer confirmed the victim's car was
parked haphazardly, which was a factor showing the vic-
tim's fear. Officer Flaherty approached the vehicle and
observed a male in the back seat on the passenger side.
He had a hood on and was moving around furtively. His
hands were out of sight,
The officer opened the door and instructed the suspect
to step out of the vehicle and get on the ground. The sus-
pect complied and was then placed in handcuffs.
Officers Ted Simmons and William O'Neill arrived on
scene. A search of the suspect by Officer Simmons for the
drugs exhibited to the victims revealed four round lumps
sewn in the waistband of his exterior jacket. The drugs
appeared to be marijuana.
Officer Simmons then walked the suspect back to Offi-
cer Flaherty's cruiser. During this walk, the suspect freely
told Officer Simmons that the jacket was a friend's, then
said he doesn't know who owns the jacket.
Officer Sinmions tricked the suspect when he asked
him what kind of jacket it was and the suspect said,
"Woolrich." Officer Simmons asked where he bought it
and the suspect said, "A J. Wright for $40."
The suspect, a 20-year-old Quincy resident, was
charged with entering without breaking in the nighttime
of a vehicle (person placed in fear), possession of Class D
drug with the intent to distribute and possession of Qass
D drug.

Tax Info Booklet
Available At City Hall
Chief Assessor Marion
Fantucchio announced an
updated booklet outlining
tax information for city tax-
payers is available now at
her office in City Hall or on
the board's website.
Fantucchio and Assessor
Stephen J. Roche prepared
the booklet which was is-
sued Dec. 17.
Taxpayers have three
months to file for property
tax exemptions which are
limited to persons in eligible
categories, such as veterans,
handicapped persons, and
senior citizens. The deadline
this year is March 3 1 .
The 24-page booklet out-
lines the original and new
tax exemptions available for
senior citizens 65 years of
age and older.
Several tax breaks were
enacted just months ago
when City Council, unani-
mously, approved proposals
by Ward 5 Councillor Doug
Gutro and Ward 3 Council-
lor Kevin Coughlin.
Gutro recommended
lowering the age of certain
real estate exemptions to 65
years of age and Coughlin
introduced temporary ex-
emptions for qualified mili-
tary personnel active in the
Iraq conflict.
Under previous statutes,
seniors had to be 70 years
of age while the new law re-
duces the age to 65.
The new tax exemption
for certain military person-
nel serving in Iraq will not
be in effect this tax cycle.
Such changes must be ap-
proved as a Home Rule peti-
tion by the state legislature
prior to the mailing of tax
bills.
Fantucchio said the ear-
liest the military exemption
will be in effect would be
next January. However, she,
also, noted it will be retroac-
tive.
Coughlin and Gutro plan
MARION FANTUCCHIO
a joint information meeting
for taxpayers prior to tax
payment deadline and the
Council on Aging provides
tax information services for
senior citizens.
Exemptions "reduce
property tax obligations for
certain qualifying taxpayers:
elderly persons, blind per-
sons, disabled veterans, sur-
viving spouse, or orphaned
minor child, surviving
spouse or orphaned minor
of police officer or firefight-
er killed in line of duty and
extreme hardship. . . "
Very few exceptions al-
low an exemption to reduce
the taxpayer's obligations to
less than ten percent of the
total bill.
In the revised booklet ,
Fantucchio included infor-
mation on the state's "Se-
nior Circuit Breaker Tax
Credit" which is available
to taxpayers 65 years of age
and older who rent or own
their domicile and whose
adjusted income meets the
state's criteria.
Under the 'circuit break-
er,' eligible senior citizens
may claim a state income
tax credit if their real estate
taxes, including water and
sewer charges, exceed ten
percent of their income. The
maximum credit allowed is
$930.00.
Applications for exemp-
tions must be filed by March
31 while the state's 'circuit
breaker' is filed with each
PAYING TOP DOLLAR
for your unwanted jcwelr}!
individual or couple's state
tax returns.
The assessors' booklet
offers all real estate own-
ers details on assessments
and the abatement process
including an explanation of
assessments.
Fantucchio explained that
the abatement and exemp-
tion process is different and
have different deadlines.
Any homeowner or busi-
ness owner may file for an
abatement which, basically,
challenges the assessment
or the city's official value of
his or her real estate or per-
sonal property.
If an abatement challenge
is successful, the assessment
or value of one's property is
lowered and the tax bill is
lower. The deadline for fil-
ing for an abatement is Feb.
1 . However, the real estate
tax bill must be paid when
due.
The assessors' revised
booklet covers 17 subjects
ranging from how the as-
sessors determine real estate
value to information on the
Community Preservation
Act and motor vehicle ex-
cise taxes.
Five pages detail exemp-
tions and tax deferral op-
portunities while a full page
lists the important dates af-
fecting the real estate tax
process.
In addition, taxpayers
who can establish severe fi-
nancial hardship or extreme
poverty may be eligible for
a tax deferral which allows
them to defer a percentage
of real estate taxes for sev-
eral years.
However, such deferrals
include an eight percent in-
terest rate, establish a lien
on the property and must be
repaid in five equal install-
ments beginning two years
after the last day of the tax
deferral. '

tion, visit the website, SQOL

FIRE SAFETY
by Captain Tom Lyo^
Fkrt Fre9wn^mi Bmnum
Qmmcy Fire D^mtmeia
Fire Prevention Resolutions For 2009
Here is a list of the New
Year's resolutions 1 dis-
cussed last year. If you
practice them again, you'll
reduce the possibility of
accidental fire within your
home. Overall, your efforts
last year succeeded in doing
so.
So let's take this New
Year as an opportunity to
recommit to a safer home
envirorunent. Thank you for
doing so.
The 2009 fire prevention
list:
1 won't leave cooking
unattended and if 1 must for
a moment leave the kitchen,
I'll bring along evidence of
my efforts, a potholder as a
reminder.
I won't casually store or
place combustibles on the
stovetop.
1 won't leave candles un-
attended in a room.
When I smoke, I won't
do so lying on a couch or
mattress.
1 will test my smoke de-
tectors monthly, and change
the batteries when 1 change
the clocks.
1 will test my CO detector
monthly and make certain
the batteries are changed as
well.
1 will clean the lint trap
in the clothes dryer before
or after each use.
I will not leave the house
with the cloths dryer left
running.
If an electrical plug, cord
or appliance is faulty, I will
see this as an indication that
the same should be retired
or repaired before any fur-
ther use.
I will maintain a 5-foot
clearance between my heat-
ing system and stored com-
bustibles.
I will occasionally re-
mind all family members of
our home emergency evacu-
ation plan and practice it if
need be.
I believe if we conscious-
ly acknowledge our com-
mitment to safer behavior
and practices, they become
second nature and habit for
us all. So have another great
year, while I plan to be here
to continue reminding you
to have a safe one as well.
I hope my efforts at coax-
ing; pestering and educating
will help you maintain a saf-
er home environment. You
deserve it.
Happy New Year!

The turmoil that gripped
the Police Department for
the past three years relaxed
a bit with the amiounce-
ment by beleaguered Chief
Robert Crowley that he was
taking early retirement June
30.
"I did not seem to be get-
ting the support that I de-
served," he said and he add-
ed quickly, "I don't mean
from the mayor's office."
Officer Bruce Tait, presi-
dent of the Quincy Police
Patrol Officers Association,
which at time seemed to be
in open rebellion against the
chief, declined to comment,
saying only,, "I will have
some after he goes."
A seven part mini -series
on President John Adams,
based on the book by David
McCullough and starring
Paul Giamatti in the title
role and Laura Linney as
Abigail, drew rave reviews
on HBO and was expected
to give a boost to tourism in
Quincy.
Some 500 Quincy enthu-
siasts kicked off the 2008
tourist season at a benefit
celebrating the HBO series
and heard Congressman Bill
Delahunt predict that "this is
going to be a huge economic
opportunity for our commu-

Cont'd From Page 13
April
Faxon Field resurfaced
as a potential site for the
city's 400-meter track fa-
cility after Kristen Powers,
executive director of the
Park Department, presented
a new and positive report to
the City Council, reigniting
the siting controversy.
Former Mayor William
Phelan had recommended
the track at Pageant Field
and park commissioners and
councillors had approved a

Eager to avoid a possi-
ble ethical problem. Mayor
Tom Koch named Norfolk
County Sheriff Michael
Bellotti to head a group of

Robert Crowley.
The ethical problem for
the appointment of a new
chief was that one of the
three eligible captains, Paul
Keenan, was the Mayor's
brother-in-law. Others in the
running were Alan Gillan
and Michael Miller.

"A lot of people have
been working hard on this
issue for a long time but we
need to bring everyone to-
gether at one table to start
addressing this problem as a
community," said Koch.
Quincy 's legislative
delegation told the City

he said. "This city has been

June 30.
Keenan was picked, said
Sheriff Michael Bellotti,

mittee, because he "was
more likely to 'breach the
barrier' currently existing
between the Patrolmen's

board reached such a fever
pitch that Code Enforcement

called upon to issue a dozen
warning notices to residents
regarding protest signs they
put on "telephone poles,

erty."
Ward 4 City Councillor
Jay Davis, under fire in his
own ward by his constitu-

he may have offended on
the issue, saying few people
envisioned the size of the
mammoth billboard. He
described one incident in
which he was "shoved down

"We're in decent shape.
We're not in great siiape,"
Mayor Tom Koch told the
City Council in a State

warned of tough economic
times ahead.
"Our revenues and ex-
penditures are right in line,"
he said. "But we know the
situation is fluid," adding
that the financial turmoil
that is rocking cities and
towns across the nation has
not struck Quincy — not
yet.
The owner of the con-
troversial 82-foot billboard
I , in West Quincy filed a law
suit against the city blaming
Mayor Koch for a Zoning
Board of Appeals decision
declaring the sign illegal.
The Zoning Board had
upheld Building Inspector
Jay Duca's cease and de-
sist order and the city itself
had filed a separate law suit
claiming the Massachusetts
Outdoor Advertising Board
ignored several guidelines
when it issued a permit in
2007.
The City Council unani-
mously passed an ordinance,
possibly the first in eastern
Massachusetts, banning the
sale or giving of knives to
persons under the age of 18.

won reelection for Norfolk
County commissioner.
Mayor Thomas Koch
called for a new Civil Service
test for fire chief candidates
after three of the four who
had agreed to accept the job
ultimately decided to turn it
down if appointed.
Meanwhile, acting Chief
Joseph Barron would re-
main on the job succeeding
the retired Chief Timothy
Pettinelli until the new test
was held and the subsequent
Civil Service list could be-
come active in 2009.
Treasurer-Collector
Warren Sproul was sworn in
as the director of the newly
formed Municipal Finance
Department with Deborah
Coughlin, a former Gillette
Company manager, suc-
ceeding him as treasurer-
collector.
The new department was
to assume some of the duties
of the city auditor, an ap-
pointee of the City Council,
but that job was vacant and
the Council didn't have the
funds to hire even an interim
auditor.
A fire shut down half the
pellet plant at the former
Fore River Shipyard, forc-
ing the MWRA to truck 350
tons of sludge cake through
city streets every week for
another month or two until
the plant is repaired.
Ward 2 City Councillor
Daniel Raymondi called on
the MWRA to review its
decision to abandon its two-
year-old ban on a backup
rail system and take the
trucks off Quincy streets.
The Massachusetts
Outdoor Advertising Board
promised to revisit its deci-
sion to allow a permit for
West Quincy 's controversial
82-foot double-sided bill-
board at a public hearing in
December.
The City Council ap-
proved increases in fees and
fines that could bring an ad-
ditional $800,000 into the
city treasury in Fiscal 2009.
New fines included penalties
of $35 and $50 for ignoring
parking tickets.
Mayor Koch announced
that the city will double its

which raised $70,000 for

Three firefighters were
promoted in the Fire
Department — Capt. Paul
Griffith to deputy chief, Lt.
Joseph Ceurvels to cap-
tain and Firefighter George
Wirtz to lieutenant.
Navy Lt. Cmdr.
Christopher Orlowski, com-
manding officer of the Navy
Reserve Center in Quincy,
told the annual Veterans Day
observance that the value of
reservists too often is lost in
the tumult of war.
"The call to mobilize . .
. often comes with 90 days
notice and the individual
has to put aside civilian life
and do a job that his country
needs him to do," he said.
Engineers from Gale
Associates unveiled plans
for a new regulation sized
track on a three-acre site at
Faxon Field behind the new
Quincy High School. The
plan advanced by Mayor
Koch, was greeted with
some hostility.
The Adams Memorial
Society voted to withdraw
Peter Boylston Adams' ten-
tative agreement on a plan
to build the track at Pageant
Field, holding that the area
should be "held in perpetu-
ity as open and untouched
conservation land."
The annual presiden-
tial wreath was laid on the
tomb of John Adams in the
crypt of United First Parish
Church on his 273"* birthday
as Albert Ducharme , director
of the Historic Interpretive
Program, called him the first
president committed to edu-
cation.
JOSEPH BIDEN
Elected US. Vice President
State Treasurer Tim
Cahill and Michael Verrochi ,

McCarthy, founder of Father
Bill's Place, were recog-
nized for their service to the
community by Bay State
Community Services.
Dennis Reidenbach,
regional director of the
National Park Service, vis-
ited the Adams National
Historical Park in Quincy
and urged the city and the
NPS to collaborate in mak-
ing Quincy a premiere city.
Veteran State Rep. Ron
Mariano, recently chosen to
fill a vacancy on the School

December
The City Council unani-
mously adopted a tax differ-
ential of 175 per cent, fixing
the residential tax rate for
Fiscal 2009 at $12.60 per
thousand, up $1 .77, and the
commercial, industrial and
personal property rate at

The Council got a wake

meowner in Quincy, with
a home valued at $347,000
with a tax increase of about
15 percent or $582.

GOUT
Gout is a form of acute ar-
thritis that causes sudden and
recumng attacks of severe pain
and swelling in the joints. The
site most common affected is
around the big toe. However,
pain can also occur in other
joints such as the heel, the
ankle, the wrist, and the hand.
Attacks of gout usually occur
suddenly, without warning,
and often during the night. The
pain can be so severe that it
may not be possible to tolerate
putting any weight on the joint
or even touching the affected
area. T?ie area around the
joint may look red and swol-
len and may feel warm to the
touch. Sfckness may develop
atong with a tow-grade fever,
chills, and a rapid heartbeat.
We know it's not easy to ig-
nore tfie pain of gout and other
foot corxJittons or injuries, es-
pedaliy when every step plac-
es weight and pressure on the
affected area. Dontwaitforthe
pain and the problem to dis-
appear. It's highly unlikely that
they will, and you'll be left with
a worse condition than when
the problem was still new and
relatively minor. Complete
foot care is available at our of-
fice for everyone in your fam-
ily, for treatment of a full range
of foot concems. Office hours
are available by appointment
at QUINCY MEDICAL CEN-
TER, as well as at 999 North
Main St., in the Randolph

Medical Building in Suite 221 .
PH: 781-986-3668. I am af-
filiated with the Brockton and
Good Samaritan Hospitals.
P.S. The first symptoms
of gout may only affect
one joint and last for just
a few days.

Winter Wake Up For Your Basement
(ARA) - A few years ago
you finished your basement.
You put in all the hard work
to make it a perfect retreat
and lounge. But you haven't
done a thing with it since.
So often, people finish their
basements and then forget
about any upkeep.
Though the basement is
often viewed as a rugged
recreational room, it still de-
serves the same decorative
and functional attention as
the rest of the home; and the
winter months provide the
perfect opportunity to tackle
some of those projects.
These simple tips will
help renew and rejuvenate
your basement by making
it more usable, durable and
inviting for your family and
friends. Plus, each project is
affordable and won't require
excessive work to accom-
plish. Most can be complet-
ed in one weekend, or a few
evenings after work.
Paint in the Winter? Yes,
You Can
One of the best ways to
make your basement look
brand new is to repaint. A
fresh coat of paint will re-
energize the room and pro-
vide a whole new feel. And,
with newer paints having
very low VOC (volatile or-
ganic compound) content,
it's safe to paint even with
the windows closed.
Light it Up, or Down
Basement lighting can
be tricky. Trying to balance
the volume of light emitted
from fixtures ranging from a
single pull-chain bulb to ful-
ly-integrated recessed can-
ister lights is no easy task.
Simple dimmer switches are
one of the easiest ways to
make sure you can balance a
basement lighting scheme at
any point in the day.
Dimmer switches allow
for a multitude of lighting
options, whether you have
a windowless basement
that is completely lit by ar-
tificial lighting, or even if
you have a fully finished
walk-out basement with
large windows and sliding
glass doors. Dimmers can
be purchased at any hard-
ware store and are quickly
and easily installed even by
novice electricians and ho-
meowners.
What's Under Foot
Generally, because base-
ment flooring is set on top of
concrete slabs, most people
opt for heavily padded car-
pet so they won't feel the
rigidity and hardness of the
slab. The problem, however,
is basement carpeting can
become very dirty, worn
and outdated rather quickly.
The good news is that even
if you already have carpet
installed, you can update the
flooring to a more modem,
sophisticated pattern rela-
tively simply and inexpen-
sively.
The Good Kind
of Mold-ing
Decorative architectural
elements such as baseboards
and crown molding can add
dramatic effects to a base-
ment, but many homeown-
ers are concerned that using
these molding pieces will
shrink the appearance of the
room. Though it is true that
most basements have lower
ceilings than the rest of the
home, some simple, thin,
crown molding creates a
very polished look in a base-
ment.
Accenting the crown
molding with color-matched
baseboards easily turns the
basement from a modest
recreational area to a cov-
eted destination area for
your family and guests.
Each of these basement
remodeling options is eas-
ily accomplished, no matter
how cold it might be out-
side. The basement is most
often a multi-use room,
and these simple projects
will certainly improve the
room's usability, quality and
appearance.

Tips To Avoid Home Foreclosure
problems. Later mail may
include an important notice
of pending legal action. Your
failure to open the mail will
not be an excuse in foreclo-
sure court.
• You can contact a
HUD-approved housing
counselor in your area. The
U.S. Department of Hous-
ing and Urban Development
(HUD) can connect you
with free or very-low-cost
housing counseling nation-
wide. Housing counselors
can help you understand the
law and your options, orga-
nize your finances and help
you in negotiations with
your lender if you need this
assistance.
One option may be to
participate in a new pro-
gram, created by Congress,
that is intended to help bor-
rowers at risk of default and
foreclosure to refinance into
more affordable loans. It's
called HOPE for Homeown-

(NAPS) - There's hope-
ful news for homeowners
who fear they may be facing
foreclosure on their home.
That's because there are
practical steps they can take
- such as a new refinancing
program from the federal
government - to resolve the
problem before it gets to the
point where the lender takes
over their home for nonpay-
ment.
Here are some tips from
the Federal Reserve Board:
• Don't ignore the prob-
lem. The further behind you
become, the harder it will be
to reinstate your loan and
the more likely you will lose
your home.
If you are unable to make
your mortgage payment,
contact your lender as soon
as you realize you have a
problem.
• Open and respond to
all mail from your lender.
The first notices you re-
ceive will offer good infor-
mation about foreclosure
prevention options that can
help you weather financial

with a soft snore tiiat builds
into a sound that rivals a jet
engine. He says snoring is a
family thing for him.
He is tired all day long. He
works hard, comes Irame,
takes a nap, eats and then
says he's still tired. He sleeps
a lot on weekends, too. Doles
snoring have anything to do
with this? —irx
ANSWER: Let me describe
sleep apnea, ami you Judge
whetfier it a{^lies to your
fiance. Typically, it involves
snoring thiett gets louder and
louder and then suddenly
stops. Silence reigns. After a
short while, the snorer makes
a grunting sound and the
snoring cycle repeats.
The period of silence is the
^nea period. "Apnea"
means "no breathing." Apnea
episodes last 10 or more sec-
onds, and they end when the
snorer makes a grunting
sound and resumes his snor-
ing. IDuring apnea, blood
oxygen content dips, and the
dip partially rouses the per-
son to begin breathing.
Sleep apnea is a health
menace. The drop in blood
oxygen has several impor-
tant consequences. It affects
the heart and can lead to
dangerous heart rhythms.
People with sleep apnea
often develop high blood
pressure and all die compli-
cations of increased pres-
sure. These people do not
get restorative sleep. They
feel drugged during the day.
The diagnosis of sleq)
apnea is made with special
studies done in a sleep lab.
Portable equifmient is avail-
able for home testing.
If your fiance is over-
weight, weight loss might
put an eiKl to sncning and
apnea. He should drink no
ateohol after 5 p.m. A CPAP
(continuous positive airway
pressure) nuK:hine keeps air
flowing past the throat
obstruction that blocks its
entry into the lungs. Talk
your fiance into discussing
these matters with his doctor.

fatigue syndrome includes a

Helpful Tips For Preventing, Treating Diabetes
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
Is eating cereal with added
vitamins and minerals as
good as taking a vitamin
pill each day?— Af.L.
ANSWER: Sure it is. A
well-balanced diet provides
all the needed vitamins and
minerals. The catch lies in
eating such a diet. Our ances-
tors survived pretty well
without taking vitamin pills.

According to the Ameri-
can Diabetes Association
(ADA), there are 23.6 mil-
lion Americans with diabe-
tes, and 5.7 million undiag-
nosed cases. With a disease
that effects so many, it is
important to stay aware of
the risks and symptoms of
diabetes.
What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes, for the most
part, comes in two types.
Type 1 diabetes, previously
known as juvenile diabetes,
is most common in children
and young adults.
Type 1 diabetes occurs
when the body does not pro-
duce sufficient insulin . With-
out enough insulin, the body
can not convert glucose, or
sugar, and other foods in
to energy. As a result, the
high levels of glucose in the
blood lead to many compli-
cations. It is important to be
aware of the symptoms of
Type 1 diabetes, which can
include increased thirst and
urination, constant hunger,
weight loss, blurred vision
and extreme fatigue. These
symptoms can develop and
progress quickly. If not
treated promptly, diabetes
can result in a life-threaten-
ing diabetic coma.
The second, referred to
as Type 2 diabetes, previ-
ously called "adult onset",
affects more than 90 percent
of people with diabetes. Al-
though people with Type 2
diabetes do produce insulin,
the body is resistant to its ef-
fects. Over time, insulin pro-
duction decreases. As with
Type 1 diabetes, the body
becomes more and more un-
able to use glucose to create
energy. The symptoms of
this process are similar, but
generally more gradual than
with Type 1 diabetes.
The disease may pres-
ent with fatigue, nausea,
frequent urination, unusual
thirst, weight loss, blurred
vision, frequent infections
and slow healing of wounds
or sores , though some people
have no symptoms at all.
How Can I
Prevent Diabetes?
Although there are theo-
ries, the exact causes of Type
1 diabetes are imknown,
making it extremely impor-
tant to be on the lookout
for symptoms, especially in
children.
The risk factors for Type
2 diabetes include older age,
obesity, a family history of
diabetes and physical inac-
tivity; obesity is the most
common factor. Along with
physical inactivity, obesity
is a risk factor that you can
control. Talk to your doctor
to find out if you are at risk
and to learn about healthy
eating habits and effective
exercise programs.
Type 2 diabetes is in-
creasingly being diagnosed
in children and adolescents
due to the decreasing lev-
els of physical activity and
rising rates of obesity. The
Diabetes Prevention Pro-
gram (DPP), a major feder-
ally funded study of 3,234
people at high risk for dia-
betes, showed that people
can delay and possibly pre-
vent the disease by losing a
small amount of weight (5
to 7 percent of total body
weight) through 30 minutes
of physical activity 5 days a
week and healthier eating.
How do I treat diabetes?
The most conunon treat-
ments for Type 1 diabetes
are glucose self-monitoring
and insulin injections. Talk
to your doctor about treat-
ment options.
Treatment for Type 2 dia-
betes varies and can include
both insulin and oral medi-
cation options. Speak to
your doctor to plan the most
effective treatment plan for
you.
It is also very important
for people with both types
of diabetes to control their
blood pressure and choles-
terol. Routine eye exams,
regular foot exams, and
monitoring of kidney func-
tion are also important to
watch for potential compli-
cations.
Also, making sure people
with diabetes get annual flu
shots and have received oth-
er vaccinations is important
to maintaining health.

GUM DISEASE UNKED WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
WhHe few people would
readily associate gum disease
with rtieumatold artfiritis (RA),
researchers have recently
done just that. Rheumatoid
arthritis is an autoimmune dis-
ease that Is characterized by
the bocty confusing healthy tis-
sues with foreign substances
and attacking itself. Those
with RA experience pain, stiff-
ness, and swelling in multiple
joints and, In some cases,
jnflamniatkxi in other organs.
V\Ath this in mind, researchers
surv^/ed the oral health of RA
patients between ttie ages of
45 and 84 and found that they
experienced gum cfisease at
more than twice the rate seen
in the general population.
This firxing shouM prompt
RA sufferers to pay more at-
tentton to their oral health
and schedule regular visits to
the denMst for examination.

MADISON, Wis. - The
wind is howling. Tempera-
tures are well below freez-
ing. And you're curled up
on the sofa with the cat, a
good book and a crackling
fire. How could you possi-
bly feel so lousy?
Maybe it's the indoor air
that's chock full of allergens
or irritants.
"Depending on what
you're allergic or sensitive
to, winter can be a really
awfiil time of year," says Dr.
Robert Bush, allergy and
asthma researcher and pro-
fessor emeritus at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin School
of Medicine and Public
Health (SMPH).
Allergens are substances
that create an allergic re-
sponse - material like pet
dander, dust mites, mold,
mice and cockroaches. Ir-
ritants can cause symp-
toms but not an allergic re-
sponse. They include dust
particles and fine particu-
lates like fuels, gases and
odors.
Bush points out one mis-
conception about dust-mite
allergies when people are
cooped up in winter. He
says dust mites can be less
of a problem in winter as
compared to more moderate
times of the year.
"Dust mites thrive in
humidity. When you turn
on the heating system, the
air dries out and dust mites
die," says Bush.
Even so, some dust mites
can survive and a tidy but
closed-up house may pro-
vide plenty of troubling al-
lergens.
Recent research shows
the average home can
have several potential al-
lergy sources. A study in
the March, 2008 issue of the
Journal of Allergy and Clin-
ical Inmiunology said 52
percent of American homes
have six or more allergens
and 46 percent had three or
more at high levels.
"If you're having allergy
symptoms, it's tough to pin-
point the source unless you
get an allergy skin test or
blood test," says Bush.
Bush says after you have
identified what's bother-
ing you, there are a number
of steps to reduce allergy
triggers or irritants in your
home:
Control Humidity Levels
Bush says ideally, home
humidity levels should
range between 30 to 40 per-
cent. Providing an environ-
mental balance with humid-
ity is especially important in
bedrooms.
Remove or Change Things
that Harbor Allergens
The American Academy
of Allergy, Asthma and Im-
munology (AAAAI) says
carpet removal can make
a big difference. For dust
mites, encase pillows and
mattresses in anti-allergy pil-
lowcases and covers. Wash
rugs and bedding regularly
in hot water.
Monitor Heating and
Air-Exchange Systems
Replace fumace filters
regularly. Have a heating
and air-conditioning engi-
neer check your home's air
exchange rate.
Watch for and Eliminate
Mold Sources
Bush says if there is a
mold level in your home
during winter, there is an
indoor source like a water

leak or standing water. The
only way to eliminate mold
is to remove the moisture
that's causing it. A musty or
moldy smell alone doesn't
necessarily mean your home
has a mold problem.
Avoid AUergy Sources
If you're allergic to pet
dander, the only effective
way to eliminate the aller-
gen is to keep pets out of the
house. Bush says it takes six
months to clear a home of
allergy sources from pets. If
removing the pet is not prac-
tical, keep it outdoors and
out of the bedroom as much
as possible.
Take Care When
Vacuuming
Bush says there isn't
much research on the effec-
tiveness of HEPA-filtered
vacuum cleaners. He says
this type of vacuum might
reduce pet-allergen expo-
sure but not necessarily dust
mites. There's evidence that
a regular vacuum cleaner
with a double-layered bag
could help with dust mites.
Since vacuuming flings dust
and particles into the air, it
might be helpful to wear a
mask while vacuuming.

Confidence, Learning Basics Keys For Woodward Basketball
By SEAN BRENNAN
The development of a
number of underclassmen
and the leadership of the
more experienced players
will define just how good
of a season the Woodward
School for Girls basketball
team will have this winter.
Coming off an impres-
sive 12-5 season in 2007-08,
the Wildcats, this season,
are going back to the basics.
Which means lots of prac-
tice of the fundamentals,
an understanding that some
games may be less about
winning and more about
improving and, in the end,
having fun playing with a
defensive tenacity that the
Boston Celtics would be
proud to call their own.
According to head coach
Bob Giordano; his team
will lean on senior captains
Alaima Melendez and Ta-
tiaima Rosado and junior
captain Sarah Bender this
season. These three will be
responsible for providing
steady leadership and game
experience.
'This is the most inexpe-
rienced team we have had at
Woodward in many years.
We have five seniors but
the only basketball player is
Alana. But she went down
with a knee injury two years
ago and hasn't played a
game since.
"The other four,Tatiarma,
Lex (Alexa DeCarr), Malika
(Weekes) and Alicia (Jean-
Jocelyn) are all-stars in oth-
er sports but are not really
basketball players. Besides
Alana, some of our best
players are seventh graders.
Ava Small, a seventh grader,
will be a starter and if she
stays at Woodward through-
out high school she may be
the best player we have ever
had.
"But the kids know what
we have here. It will be a
year of learning the basics
of basketball on offense,
but on defense we should be
strong."
Woodward, which plays
in the highly competitive In-
dependent Girls Conference
(IGC), should be able to win
games against some lesser
opponents, but Giordano
does not kid himself when it
comes to some of the stron-
ger teams in the IGC.
"The top three or four
teams will probably smoke
us, but if we get better by
learning this season, next
year and the season after
we will be a very, very good
team.
"What I did was hold 15
kids and each practice we
break up the team and hold
two different types of prac-
tices. The younger players
are learning how to play
the game, but these kids are
working hard and will get
better. But right now, prac-
tice is 90% teaching and
10% coaching."
According to Giordano
the plan during games is to
mix and match his upper-
classmen and underclass-
men, with the hope that the
upperclassmen's experience
and leadership will come
into play on the court.
"We are going to let
them take their lumps in
games but we are not going
to hurt our chances moving
forward. What I am trying
to get out of my seniors is
to show the other kids how
to play with maturity and
confidence. There are kids
on the bench who are bet-
ter than some of the seniors
but they cannot perform on
the court because they do
not have that game expe-
rience yet. I am trying to
bring them along slowly and
not put them in a situation
where they can lose a game
for us. One by one we will
integrate them into games
and go from there."
WOODWARD SCHOOL FOR GIRLS: Front row from left:
Tatianna Rosado, Alanna Melendez, Sarah Bender. Second
row: Joelle Tobin, Bailey Brait, Alexa DeCarr, Alicia Jean-
For the Melendez, Ro-
sado and Bender, as team
captains, it will be their re-
sponsibility to keep the team
competitive and excited to
play even in the worst of
times.
"I think we are going
to play good defense and
hopefully our shooting will
get better, but it will be our
job to get the best out of
the team this season," said
Bender.
"I feel over the season we
should get better. But we are
very inexperienced without
a doubt but with more expe-
rience we should get better,"
said Melendez. "I am com-
ing off an injury so I haven't
played since my sophomore
year. It will be a learning
year, but we are going to go
out each game and play hard
and get better as the season
moves along."
"I am looking forward to
the competition on the court
this year and having fun,"
added Rosado. "We all get
along with each other and
we are there to act as role
models for the rest of the
team. We caruiot allow the
team to feel bad for about
themselves because we need
to be in the games and prac-
tices together. We just need
to go out and play hard and
have fun."
Besides Rosado, Me-
lendez and Bender, the rest
of the 2008-09 Woodward
School for Girls basketball
team includes Bailey Brait,
Alexa DeCarr, Alicia Jean-

First of Three Scheduled Games
Presidents One Goal Better Than Raiders; Win 4-3
Two weekends ago at the
Quincy Youth Arena, the
Quincy Presidents and the
North Quincy Red Raiders
meet for the first of three
scheduled meetings this
winter; the Presidents came
away winners, 4-3.
This game, which did not
count towards the league
standings in the Patriot
League, was held as a ben-
efit game for the Patrick
WTiite Foundation.
Quincy, behind the goal-
tending of junior Leroy
Wallace jumped out to a 4-0
lead, before having to hold
on for the 4-3 victory. Junior
forward TJ Higgins's pass to
Shawn Dowling produced
the first goal of the game in
the first period and senior
Mark Gilbody made it 2-0
with a goal early in the sec-
ond period off an assist from
junior Kevin Keith.
The Presidents contin-
ued the scoring barrage later
in the second period when
Gilbody (off another assist
from Keith) scored his sec-
ond goal of the game to give
Quincy a 3-0 lead. Junior
forward Seamus McKenna
gave Quincy a 4-0 lead with
a breakaway later in the pe-
riod.
The Raiders, facing a
four-goal deficit, finally got
on the board late in the sec-
ond period. Senior forward
Brian McLean scored with
five minutes to play in the
period and after two periods
Quincy held a 4-1 advan-
tage.
Trailing 4- 1 , North Quin-
cy cut it to 4-3 on goals by
senior forwards Scott Rich-
ardson and Matt Rodriguez
in the third period. But it
was Wallace who held the
lead and gave the Presidents
an early season upset of its
city rivals.
Wallace made several
late game saves that helped
Quincy earn its first win of
the season.

help to preserve the newly
furnished gym floor and
will allow the baseball and
Softball teams to practice
and prepare for the upcom-
ing season throughout the
winter.
"Our program is very ap-
preciative of Quincy Youth
Baseball's generous dona-
tion," said NQ head baseball
coach John Fidalgo. "Many
of our players have come
up through Quincy Youth
Baseball and even after they
move forward in their base-
ball careers, we can see the
benefits of Quincy Youth
Baseball to the players."
Close to 100% of the
players in the North Quincy
baseball program, as well as
four members of the coach-
ing staff, grew up playing
Quincy Youth Baseball .
Beginning at age 6 with the
Junior Farm League, players
develop the skills that can
help make the transition to
high school or even college
level of play.

As we go through life what we think

lives of others. We may think we have
little or no influences, but we do, and
we usually underestimate this. Each
day we live we touch the lives of others.
Each life we touch changes because of
us. Many of the lives we touch through-

be harmed because of us. But, again, we have more power
than we think we do and most of the time we never know
how we influence the lives of others for the better.

THE ADDITION of an outdoor space is a therapeutic benefit
for geriatric psychiatry patients at Quincy Medical Center.
With the bench donated by Kindred Healthcare to help beauti-
fy the space are: 0 to r) Joanna Pieciiiczeli-Buczek, MD, QMC
Chief of Psychiatry, Cindy Kineavy, Kindered Healthcare's
Clinical Liaison for QMC, and Sherry EUis, QMC Director of
Psycliiatry.
Teak Bench Donation Benefits
Geriatric Psychiatry Patients
It is amazing how a
breath of fresh air often can
give one a whole new per-
spective on life. That was
the idea behind Kindred
Healthcare's recent donation
of a beautiful teak bench to
the Quincy Heights geriatric
psychiatry unit at Quincy
Medical Center.
"We thought it would
a pleasant change of pace
for our patients to be able
to have an area outside in
our little courtyard where
they could receive sensory
therapy and enjoy some
fresh air when the weather
is nice," said Sherry Ellis,
QMC director of Psychiatry.
"Our colleagues at Kindred
Healthcare didn't miss a
beat, and stepped right up to
provide a lovely teak bench
that fits perfectly in this se-
rene space."
Quincy Heights is a 22-
bed secure, inpatient ge-
riatric psychiatry unit at
Quincy Medical Center
where patients receive psy-
chiatric assessment, medical
assessment and treatment,
psychosocial assessment,
neuropsychological testing,
individual/family counsel-
ing, and group therapy.
QMC also has a Partial
Hospital Program, which is
a short-term, day program
designed to help older adults
who are experiencing diffi-
culty with common later-life
issues.

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) You might be busier than
you had expected right now.
But between the socializing
rounds and the woricplace
tasks, there are opportunities
for special moments with
that certain someone.
TAURUS (April 20 to May
20) Your creative approach
leads to a quicker-than-
expected solution to a work-
place problem. Now you can
devote more time to that pro-
posal you hope to introduce
by midmonth.
GEMINI (May 21 to June
20) Technological glitches
create problems early on.
But by midweek, all runs
smoothly once again, and
you're well and truly on your
way toward meeting all your
deadlines.
CANCER (June 21 to July
22) Your energy levels are
high, and you feel you can
handle everything that
comes along. But try to take
a break from your hectic
pace for some quiet time
with someone close to you.
LEO (July 23 to August
22) Before you pounce on
that shiny new opportunity,
take more time to check it
out to see how much sub-
stance actually lies beneath
all that glitter. A family
member has important news.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) A personal
situation you thought was
resolved resurfaces, thanks
to a possibly well-inten-
tioned move that went awry.
Deal with it as soon as possi-
ble. Accept the help of a
trusted ftiend.

allow yourself to be distract-

SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) A tempera-
mental flare-up creates nega-
tive feelings that need to be
dealt with immediately. But
things once again go well
after the apologies are made
and hurt feelings are
soothed.
SAGITTARIUS (Novem-
ber 22 to December 21) An
early impulsive act causes
confusion. But all is
smoothed over once expla-
nations are made. Expect a
friend or family member to
ask for your kind and always
wise advice.
CAPRICORN (December
22 to January 19) You might
have to do some juggling of
your priorities, as a personal
matter appears to require
more time and attention. Put
your pride aside and accept
help from those who offer it.
AQUARIUS (January 20
to February 18) Your cre-
ative aspect is strong. Not
only does it help you accom-

inspires others. This could

PISCES (Febniary 19 to

making major decisions
when you're not really com-
